This week on No Script: The Podcast, Jackson and Jacob dive into Tina Howe's lyrical memory play Pride's Crossing — winner of the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best American Play and a finalist for the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play centers on 90-year-old Mabel Tidings Bigelow, once the first woman to swim the English Channel from England to France. From her croquet party in Pride's Crossing, Massachusetts, time flows backward and forward as Mabel revisits a lifetime of opportunity seized and missed. Listen in as Jackson and Jacob unpack Howe's impressionistic structure, the challenges of staging Mabel at multiple ages, and the opportunities this script offers directors, actors, and teachers—especially those interested in complex female protagonists, non-linear storytelling, and intimate ensemble work in a “big” memory play. They'll also touch on where Pride's Crossing sits alongside Howe's other major works, like Painting Churches and Coastal Disturbances, in the landscape of contemporary American drama. ------------------------------ Please consider supporting us on Patreon.

Taxing and redistributing wealth to reduce inequality is an idea popular on the left, and is being pushed by some politicians including Green Party leader Zack Polanski. But it's loathed by others who believe people should be able to hang on to what they have, whether that's earned or inherited.This week we're joined by Frances Howe, co-founder of local collective Bristol Redistro, which rather than a top-down tax asks people who have more money than they need to voluntarily chuck some of it into a pot. This is divided up by a panel of locals and given to grassroots organisations. Its most recent funding round helped groups in Knowle West, St Paul's, Hengrove and Hartcliffe as well as others serving marginalised communities across the city. How does this work, and what difference does it make? Why is it different from giving to charity? And with the cost of living biting, why should people be giving up their wealth in the first place? We get into these questions, and more on this latest episode of Unpacked.The Bristol Cable is Bristol's community-owned cooperative newsroom – fiercely independent journalism that puts people before profit. Since 2014, we've been holding power to account through investigative reporting, community campaigns, and democratic media ownership. Because when journalism serves the community, not shareholders, real change becomes possible.Support independent journalism and help us bring more vital conversations to Bristol: become a Bristol Cable member.

PREVIEW — Fraser Howe — China's Chronic Property Market Crisis Persists Due to Government Refusal to Clear Debt. Howe explains that the Chinese government created and sustains a chronic property market crisis by refusing to permit real estate values to clear at severe discounts, unlike the U.S., which aggressively resolved its debt burden through market mechanisms. The government prevents acute price collapse, converting a short-term correction into a long-term structural drag on economic growth lasting well over five years—a millstone constraining China's broader economic performance and development capacity.
CannCon and Ashe in America open this episode of the Badlands Book Club with the beginning of Chapter 11, Part 1 of The Fourth Turning, diving into Strauss and Howe's blueprint for how societies and individuals should prepare for a coming crisis era. They read through and discuss the authors' seasonal model of history, focusing on how America should “move with” the current unraveling, avoid outdated behaviors from prior eras, and begin quietly preparing for the demands of the next Fourth Turning. The chapter explores the dangers of linear thinking, the need to recognize the signs of a secular winter, and the importance of personal responsibility, civic renewal, cultural uplift, and institutional pruning before a crisis takes hold. Along the way, Ashe and CannCon relate the text to modern politics, media dysfunction, generational shifts, and the hijacking of societal cycles by today's ruling class, layering in humor, eye-rolls, personal stories, debate, and real-time reactions. They also discuss upcoming Book Club selections, holiday plans, and viewer chat, making this a dense but lively walkthrough of one of the most consequential chapters in the book.

New voting restrictions across the country are threatening to make it harder for millions of Americans to participate in elections. In some states, these barriers have thrown long-registered voters into limbo, as Arizona voter James Wilson learned when he nearly lost his ability to vote because of strict new proof-of-citizenship rules. In this season finale, Democracy Decoded examines how these barriers to voting — along with an administration actively attempting to curtail the freedom to vote and a Supreme Court with voting rights cases on its docket — are reshaping access to the ballot.Host Simone Leeper speaks with election law scholar Rick Hasen and Campaign Legal Center's voting rights expert Danielle Lang to unpack the rise of new barriers to voting, the future of the Voting Rights Act, the dangers of executive overreach, and the policy solutions and reforms needed to secure the freedom to vote in 2026 and beyond.Timestamps:(00:00) — How did one Arizona voter nearly lose his right to vote?(04:35) — Why are federal actions now threatening elections?(06:50) — How do proof-of-citizenship laws disenfranchise voters?(11:48) — What happened inside Arizona's dual-track voting system?(15:32) — Who is most affected by modern voting restrictions?(21:36) — What role has the federal government historically played in protecting voting rights?(23:49) — Why is the SAVE Act so bad for voting rights?(25:16) — What is Campaign Legal Center doing to protect the freedom to vote in Louisiana?(28:38) — What is Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act?(30:06) — What is the Turtle Mountain v.

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning, unpacking Chapter 10, Part 2 with energy, humor, and hard-hitting analysis. This episode breaks down the generational archetypes, 13ers entering midlife, Millennials stepping into adulthood, and the emerging New Silent generation, and explores how each group shapes (and survives) the unfolding crisis era. Ashe and CannCon reflect on the accuracy of Strauss & Howe's predictions, from millennial collectivism and workplace shifts to Gen X's hardened pragmatism and the rising urgency for societal reconstruction. With sponsor breaks, personal anecdotes, boomer vs. 13er commentary, COVID-era parallels, and spirited discussions about culture, economics, duty, and the looming generational handoff, the hosts weave the book's themes into the present moment. This session marks the near-completion of the book, setting the stage for the final stretch of the series and the transition into the next title in the club.
Montana State defensive coordinator Shawn Howe sits down with Colter Nuanez to talk about MSU's soundness on defense (0:39), the young Bobcat defensive coaching staff (1:55), the defensive line as leaders (4:40), the ability to play base (6:11), conversation about Montana State's four senior defensive linemen (7:34), and how Coach Howe wants to finish the regular-season (19:13).
Episode 393: On a cold February day in 2022, tragedy struck the small communities of Creston and Kimberley, British Columbia. Julia Howe, a familiar face to her neighbours, was found lifeless in the bathroom of her partner's home. Just hours later and nearly a hundred kilometres away, David Creamer, a father and trusted friend, was discovered dead in his own house. Both initially believed accidental or natural, no one suspected that these two deaths would soon be linked. The true story was finally revealed, albeit in a peculiar manner. The connection between the deaths was finally revealed when Mitchell Earl McIntyre, a man known to both victims, confessed to hospital staff that he was responsible for both deaths. The problem was that, at first, no one believed him. It was the killer's insistence and admissions of guilt that finally cracked the case.

E70 Kevin Sterk Griffin & Howe by Anna V Outdoors
Eddie Howe has transformed Newcastle United — there's no denying it. From relegation battles to Champions League nights, Howe has built something special on Tyneside. But does that mean he's beyond criticism? Absolutely not. In this video, we dive into why Eddie Howe is still the right man to take Newcastle forward, while also discussing some of the key areas where fans have every right to ask questions — tactics, substitutions, squad rotation, and more. We explore: ⚫ Howe's impact since taking over ⚪ Tactical evolution (and occasional stubbornness) ⚫ How criticism can actually help Newcastle improve ⚪ The balance between loyalty and ambition This is a balanced, honest discussion for Toon fans who love the club but also want to see it keep progressing.
Eddie Howe is going through a tough spell at the moment at Newcastle United. It's no wins on the road in nine Premier League games for United - but he has won seven of his last nine games in all competitions. However two consecutive defeats on the road where the performance was particularly bad have led to questions about some of Howe's decisions but is the manager under pressure? Andrew Musgrove caught up with three Toon fans to ask them three key questions. 1) Is the criticism of Eddie Howe at the moment fair? 2) What is the reason for the slump in form? 3) Is Howe under pressure?

Wolves' search for a new manager has led them to former player Rob Edwards, who leaves Middlesbrough for the challenge of a lifetime - keeping the Old Gold in the top flight. Niall and Marley dig into whether the former Luton Town boss has what it takes to keep the club in the Premier League, having only had experience of being relegated from the top of the pyramid since becoming a manager. Elsewhere, Newcastle's struggles continued on the road as they lost to Brentford at the weekend, but what does it mean for Eddie Howe? Is time and patience starting to run thin for the former Bournemouth boss, or is there an overreaction to the Geordies losing on the road again? All that and more discussed on the latest episode of Football Social Daily.

In this gripping continuation of The Fourth Turning, CannCon and Ashe in America dive into Chapter 10 of Strauss and Howe's prophetic masterpiece, exploring how much of their “future history” has already come to pass. From 9/11 to COVID, government shutdowns, financial collapse, and even the concept of “polycrisis,” the hosts trace how the authors seemingly predicted America's unraveling in eerie detail. They dissect the generational archetypes...Boomers, Gen X, Millennials - and how each plays a role in the coming civic rebirth or collapse. Between laughs about “cougars,” Taco Bell runs, and the Great American Restoration Tour, Ashe and CannCon examine whether the crisis climax has already begun and what kind of America might emerge on the other side. Equal parts historical reflection and philosophical debate, this episode merges humor, scholarship, and faith in the way only Badlands Book Club can.
We dissect Newcastle's dismal 3-1 defeat at West Ham—what went wrong, Eddie Howe's stark post-match comments, and the worrying away form.

Then we preview Athletic Bilbao: TV details, form and danger men, likely XI, and predictions. Plus, we end with a Spanish Magpies quiz.--------------JOIN OUR PATREON for so much moreFollow us on Twitter/X @nufcblogcastPlease consider giving us a good review if you enjoy what you hear!See all our episodes here - https://shows.acast.com/nufcblogcast Hosted on Acast.

La caída del viejo orden mundial es inminente En 1997, William Strauss, un abogado egresado de Harvard, y Neil Howe, un historiador y economista de la Universidad de Berkley, se unieron para crear un libro "profético" basado en datos y estadísticas. La teoría central de Strauss y Howe sostiene que la historia avanza en ciclos que duran aproximadamente de 80 a 90 años. Estos ciclos se dividen en cuatro fases o "giros", cada uno con una duración de 20 a 25 años. El libro se titula El Cuarto Giro, y esta fase final está concebida como una fase de crisis total. No tengo la verdad absoluta, solo comparto mis investigaciones, experiencias y conclusiones, pero a ti te toca escoger que pensar. Si lo que digo o escribo resuena en tu interior, entonces experiméntalo y saca tus propias conclusiones. Ernestoard.blogspot.com
Marie Howe buzzes into the Hive to read from her newest books and also to recite a little Juan Ramon Jimenez.Marie Howe is the author of New and Selected Poems (W. W. Norton, 2024), winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry; Magdalene (W. W. Norton, 2017), which was long-listed for the National Book Award; The Kingdom of Ordinary Time (W. W. Norton, 2009), which was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; What the Living Do (W. W. Norton, 1998); and The Good Thief (Persea Books, 1988), which was selected by Margaret Atwood for the 1987 National Poetry Series.

Do you have a budget for your clothes? Most style advice assumes the problem is overspending: closets overflowing with unworn items, tags still on. But when I polled my LinkedIn network, 86% said they don't buy enough clothes and wear things too long. In networking conversations, easily half the women I talk with budget exactly zero dollars for their own wardrobes. Here's what generational theory reveals: Each generation absorbed specific messages about when it's "appropriate" to invest in appearance.

CannCon and Ashe in America finally wrap up the epic Chapter 8 of The Fourth Turning, a dense, prophetic section that eerily mirrors the world of 2025. From the economic decay of the “13er generation” to the rise of millennial moralism and the illusion of modern progress, the hosts analyze how Strauss and Howe seemed to predict everything from the gig economy to COVID-era conformity. Ashe and CannCon explore how manipulated social engineering, centralized control, and generational cycles have shaped today's unraveling, and whether America is now entering the long-awaited “High” phase. With sharp humor, honest self-reflection, and classic Badlands banter, this chapter closes with insights into Y2K, 9/11, and the crises that redefined an era.
Welcome back to part 16 of our Joseph Smith Podcast with Dr. John G. Turner! In this episode, we cover chapter fifteen of John Turner's new book titled “Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet” which covers 1834-1835 in Kirtland, Ohio and parts of Missouri. We discuss the rise of patriarchal blessings, the creation of new church offices –like the Twelve and the Seventy. We also discuss the challenges posed by critics like E. D. Howe and his problematic book published in 1834. These years were formative for Joseph Smith and the Latter-day Saint movement. We explore such topics as:-The publication of E. D. Howe's Mormonism Unveiled-The 1835 Doctrine and Covenants (and the Lectures on Faith)-The creation of the Quorum of the Twelve and the Seventy-The beginning of the Law of Adoption-How Joseph Smith used blessings and promises to help people follow himDid this first anti-Mormon publication get under Joseph Smith's skin? What power did early church members believe they were receiving through blessings and ordinances? How did Joseph Smith transform crises into opportunities to strengthen his movement? Join us as we seek to answer each of these questions!Please purchase the book here.To support this series please donate here.

What does it look like for the Church to become a true place of hope, healing, and care when it comes to mental health? In this week's conversation, Dan Allender and Rachael Clinton Chen are joined by Laura Howe, a clinical social worker and founder of Hope Made Strong and the Church Mental Health Summit, a free online event coming up on October 10, 2025. Laura shares her journey into bridging faith and mental health—born out of frustration and a longing to see the Church rise to its calling as a safe, caring community. Together, they explore the unique role the Church can play in mental health support: not as a replacement for clinical care, but as a vital presence of peer support, belonging, and discipleship that helps people feel seen and held. This episode touches on: How churches can move beyond programs to cultivate a culture of care The power of peer support as the “missing piece” in mental health conversations The theological and cultural obstacles that keep communities from engaging suffering honestly The very real challenges of compassion fatigue and burnout for leaders—and practices for resilience Whether you're a pastor, ministry leader, caregiver, or someone longing to see your church embody greater compassion, this conversation offers both hope and practical wisdom for building communities where people can truly experience the canopy of care we all need.
