It was a relatively small number of artists and publishers who were working to have comics seen as a viable form of art as well as making comics for adults. Although the history of comics for adults is definitely older, this period marks a surge in European interest in the medium. Famous film producer Dino de Laurentiis helped this when he bought the filming rights to adult comics Diabolik (from Italy) and Barbarella (from France) turning them both in to movies in the 1960s. De Laurentiis originally wanted Bridget Bardot for the title role and after she turned it down, he looked to Sophia Loren who did the same. His third choice was Jane Fonda who initially rejected the script until her then husband Roger Vadim convinced her to take it. Vadim joined as Director and the rest is kitschy sci-fi history. I have two fantastic guests to talk through this swinging 60s sci-fi space opera oddity. Lisa Yaszek is Regents' Professor of Science Fiction Studies at Georgia Tech and has written/edited extensively on science fiction. Hugo Frey is Professor of History at the University of Chichester. He has a special interest in graphic novels and is co-author of the 2026 book The Look of the 1960s. Barbarella and the Pulp Pop Comics.

Connaissez-vous le point commun entre Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Will et Jada Smith et Hugo Frey ? Tous ont choisi à leur manière de défier Cupidon et le couple traditionnel en incarnant des figures de l'amour libre. Si le sujet a inspiré de nombreux cinéastes, ils continuent de nous interroger. Peut-on aimer au pluriel ? Avant de se poser la question est-ce qu'on peut aimer plusieurs personnes à la fois, il faut déjà commencer par comprendre ce qui se passe quand on aime une personne. Le cerveau va se modifier, certaines zones vont s'activer, d'autres vont se désactiver et il va y avoir tout un cocktail d'hormones. On en parle ensemble, dans cette mise en bouche ! L'émission OrgasmiQ (Téva) a désormais sa version podcast. Chaque semaine, Rosa Burstein ou Juliette Tresanini et ses "sexpertes" Charline Gayault et Charline Vermont explorent la sexualité sans tabous et répondent à toutes vos questions avec bienveillance, humour et légèreté.
Happy New Year's Eve! When some of us think about our earliest memories of watching New Year's Eve on TV, we'll remember long before Ryan Seacrest and even before Dick Clark. This Guy, who brought the New York City ballroom celebration into our living rooms every year, goes back to even before this holiday was celebrated live on television. He formed the band during 1924 in his hometown of London, Ontario, Canada and sold more than 100 million records. Maybe as many as 300 million.

Five years ago, technologist, artist and financial analyst Victoria Ku suffered a period of burnout that left her medicated and emotionless. By finding rest and setting new boundaries, she started building a life for herself that's both nourished her creative spirit and enabled her financial security—summoning magic through the combination of both logic and emotion. Victoria shares her perspectives on how to prepare for the inevitable ups and downs of the economy, and we conduct a tarot reading to help her determine how to foster the artist within. Also: why Star Trek's Spock is such a dream dude. Season 3 is all about rest. In a time of extended crisis, permacrisis and polycrisis, taking time to decompress is not just a benefit but a necessity. Learning to slow down, reflect and make space for expansive thinking is part of what makes rest so sweet but also so elusive. Grab a blanket, turn down the lights, and turn up Five and Nine this season to hear new perspectives on the age old practice of reflection, rejuvenation and recovery.About Our Guest* Victoria KuTarot Cards Discussed* High Priestess* Page of Swords* Six of PentaclesMusic* Episode: Money Blues, composed by Hugo Frey, 1916.* Outro: A rag-time episode, composed by Paul Eno and performed by Fred Van Eps, 1911.Starting Wednesday!

Hør ham fortælle, hvordan dansk økonomi og Nationalbanken har ændret sig siden midten af 1980'erne.

Hugo Frey‘s new book, Nationalism and the Cinema in France: Political Mythologies and Film Events, 1945-1995 (Berghahn Books, 2014) distinguishes between a national cinema (films made in France) and a nationalist cinema motivated by the specific agenda to promote une certaine idee de la France. Working with ideas about “political mythology” and the “film event,” Frey analyses a series of films and filmmakers, including: Michel Audiard, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Lelouch, Jean-Pierre Melville, Marcel Pagnol, Jean Renoir, Jacques Tati, and Francois Truffaut. Contributing to a vast and complex field of work on the cinema in France since 1945, Nationalism and the Cinema in France offers readers an analysis of French “metafilms” (films about film and filmmaking) in the postwar period; the representation of French history and modernity; the conversation between French cinema and Hollywood (and France and the United States more generally); the complex relationship between French film, nationalism, and empire; antisemitism; and the politics of the extreme Right up to the mid-1990s. In our conversation, Hugo and I consider the legacies of the fifty year period covered in the book, including the links between the issues discussed in its pages and more contemporary struggles over national identity and difference.
