The 1960s gave us some of the most legendary science fiction ever written… but many incredible novels were completely ignored by the Hugos, the Nebulas, and every other major award. In this episode, Jim dives deep into the data — sales numbers, Goodreads/StoryGraph/Amazon ratings, and critical reviews — to uncover 20 sci-fi gems from the 1960s that were beloved by fans and critics alike, yet received zero recognition from the awards committees.From lost generation-ship societies to dying Earth jungles, from satirical military adventures to techno-thrillers that changed the genre forever — these are the novels that deserve a place on your bookshelf.✨ If you're looking for your next great read in science fiction, start here.

Vanessa, en cette rentrée scolaire, rentrée littéraire, vous nous emmenez faire un tour du côté de la Touraine pousser les portes de Maisons d'écrivains. De grands écrivains classiques ! Ca va vous rappeler des souvenirs d'école…très lointains ! On commence avec Balzac et son château de Saché, son refuge : il y a séjourné une dizaine de fois, pour fuir Paris -ses soucis financiers. Un de ses lieux d'inspiration : Il y a rédigé en partie "Le Père Goriot", les Illusions perdues. Et puis cette vallée de l'Indre-très bucolique-on la retrouve dans Le lys dans la vallée. Et moi ce que j'aime dans ce château -musée- C'est la modernité de sa programmation.: comme l'expo actuelle "Vautrin contre Balzac, le roman à l'épreuve de l'affaire criminelle". Vous vous lancez dans Un parcours enquête guidé par Vautrin et comprenez comment Balzac construisait son enquête romanesque pour déchiffrer et interroger la société. Exemple décrypter entre autres l'univers des voleurs et leur argot toujours présent : on va le buter, mon dabe(Maitre)… Un autre écrivain dans un autre spot tourangeau ? Ah je vous emmène chez Rabelais. en pleine campagne chinonaise dans sa maison d'enfance, La Devinière. Qu'on retrouve dans son œuvre. C'est le château de Gargantua et de Pantagruel. Une belle maison des champs avec un pigeonnier, transformée en musée. On y découvre des éditions rares, des caricatures, des expressions populaires qu'il a inventées : sauter du coq à l'âne, être gros jean comme devant... il existe aussi un sentier d'interprétation autour des Guerres Picrocholines vous êtes au coeur des paysages du roman. Un conseil poussez jusqu'à Léméré au Château du Rivau. Que vous retrouvez aussi dans le roman de Gargantua, Et aujourd'hui c'est un endroit magique, sorti d'un livre de contes, avec des jardins fantasques s…et un potager de Curcubitacés : le « Potager de Gargantua » ! Et on peut dormir au Rivau !

ESSENTIEL, le rendez-vous culture présenté par Sandrine Sebbane. Elle reçoit Stéphane Koechlin pour « Arthur Koestler, la fin des illusions » aux éditions du Cerf. À propos du livre : « Arthur Koestler, la fin des illusions » paru aux éditions Cerf Géant littéraire aux millions de lecteurs, auteur visionnaire au destin de météore, Arthur Koestler fut un écrivain adulé, haï, immense, dont la vie épousa les chaos du siècle dernier. Partisan de toutes les causes, il vit sa quête d'absolu se heurter aux grandes tragédies et son existence basculer. Devenu l'adversaire de toutes les idéologies, son engagement antitotalitaire culmina avec la publication de son maître-livre, Le Zéro et l'Infini. Parce qu'il avait tout vu. Parce qu'il avait tout dit. Voici son histoire. Tour à tour espion communiste et militant sioniste, passé par les prisons et condamné à mort, Arthur Koestler a eu mille vies. Mille vies que raconte Stéphane Koechlin dans cette biographie qui se lit comme un roman d'aventures et nous entraîne sur les pas d'un homme qui aura cherché toute sa vie une terre d'élection, un idéal politique. Un homme déchiré entre plusieurs langues, son hongrois natal, l'allemand qu'il répudiera, l'anglais, l'hébreu fantasmé. Enfin un homme libre, écrasé entre les blocs totalitaires du xxe siècle, qui s'accrochera à la littérature et déchirera le voile des illusions. Aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, la vie d'Arthur Koestler doit être racontée, et sa sagesse apprise. Acquise qu'elle fut dans les drames, les malheurs et les guerres dont nous voyons le retour aujourd'hui. Un livre capital.

A Company of Wolves (1984), Nightbreed (1990), Errementari (2017) As horror fans, we might not really think about the amount of horror elements that are in other sub-genres, such as fantasy. Sure, we all know titles like Conan the Barbarian (1982) that has a guy who turns into a giant snake, or Legend (1985) where one of the main characters is some sort of demon or devil, do those elements make it a horror film? We all know that horror is used in many different genres of films, even some where the filmmakers themselves go out of their way to make sure to define it NOT as horror. But we know. But when it comes to Fantasy / Horror, that's where the story might be based on fairy tales or folklore, and definitely has some elements of horror in there, either in content or maybe just characters. The line can get kind of blurry. But we also know that if its entertaining, then does it really matter? Take a listen as we discuss 3 titles that we all felt hit the Fantasy / Horror sub-genre, for a variety of reasons. Tune in and find out why. Titles mentioned in this episode: Army of Darkness (1992), Beastmaster (1982), A Company of Wolves (1984), Conan the Barbarian (1982), The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), The Crying Game (1992), The Devil's Backbone (2001), Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010), Errementari (2017), Eyes of Fire (1983), Frankenstein (1931), Freaks (1932), Häxan (1922), Hellboy (2004), Hellraiser (1987), In Dreams (1999), Interview with the Vampire (1994), Jason and the Argonauts (1963), Krull (1983), Legend (1985), Lord of Illusions (1995), Masters of the Universe (1987), Nightbreed (1990), Pan's Labyrinth (2006), Phantasm (1979), The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945), Sword and the Sorcerers (1982), Suspiria (1977)

The brain's like a color detective, but there's one shade it just can't see: "grue." It's a mix of green and blue, and our brains just can't quite wrap their neurons around it. Now, when it comes to tricky illusions, there are loads of mind-benders out there. Optical illusions, like the famous Rubin's vase, make you see one thing, then suddenly, it's something else entirely. It's like your brain's playing a sneaky game of hide-and-seek with your senses. So, if you want to give your brain a workout and have a little fun, dive into these illusions and watch your perception do somersaults! ⁠#brightside⁠ Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: ⁠https://thesoul-sound.com/⁠ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...⁠ Apple Podcast - ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id...⁠ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook - ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ / brightside  ⁠ Instagram - ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ / brightside.official  ⁠ Tik Tok - ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.of...⁠ Snapchat - ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ / 1866144599336960  ⁠ Stock materials (photos, footages and other): ⁠https://www.depositphotos.com⁠ ⁠https://www.shutterstock.com⁠ ⁠https://www.eastnews.ru⁠ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: ⁠http://www.brightside.me Learn more about your ad choices.

Think your eyes never lie? Think again! These 25 wild illusions will have your brain doing somersaults and questioning everything. Some are trippy, some are hilarious, and some will straight-up break your sense of reality.

For his Roaming St. Louis segment, KMOX host Scott Jagow visited the fairly new Museum of Illusions at City Foundry. Learn about the exhibits and elements of this worldwide brain-teasing experience.

Jamie Harrison is a renowned illusion designer, visual effects creator, and theater artist, who, alongside collaborator Chris Fisher, is responsible for the jaw-dropping illusions in Stranger Things: The First Shadow, the stage play prequel to the Stranger Things series. Both Jamie and Chris earned a Special Tony Award for Illusions & Technical Effects earlier this year.In this conversation, Jamie walks through his background as a magician and theater artist and the deep historical roots of magic in live performance. He also shares the rigorous process of designing for large-scale theater, how ancient illusionist traditions can be used to create state-of-the-art spectacle and explains why the most rewarding magic is built on precision, surprise, and storytelling.This is the third in a series of conversations I've had with the multiple creative forces behind Stranger Things: The First Shadow, which I cannot recommend highly enough. Seriously if you're in the New York or London area, this show is an absolute must.

KMOX Weekend host Scott Jagow joins to talk about where he went for Roaming St. Louis and what else he has on this weekend on TIAM Sunday.

In Episode 28 of Geopolitics with Ghost, the global chessboard shifts again as Ghost breaks down the latest developments in Africa and their implications for BRICS, Western hegemony, and the unraveling global order. With coups in Niger and Gabon disrupting Western resource pipelines and raising questions about French and American influence, Ghost highlights how nations are rejecting colonial control in favor of multipolar partnerships. He explores the strategic alignment of these countries with BRICS ideals, resource sovereignty, decentralized development, and economic autonomy. The episode also examines the ripple effects of Israel's judicial overhaul, Hungary's quiet rise in Eastern Europe, and the growing irrelevance of Western NGOs and media. It's a wide-angle lens on the death throes of unipolar dominance and the messy, hopeful birth of a new global balance.

Dr. Reedy reviews the book by Richard Bach, the author of Jonathon Livingston Seagull. Illusions is the allegory of a “Master Messiah” as he passes his wisdom on to Richard, the apprentice. The overarching message of the book is that we are accountable and responsibility for our own meaning, our own happiness. His telling illustrates that such a message is often rejected because we don't want to take on the responsibility for our lives – we want to blame our unhappiness on our circumstances, on others.

This episode is based on a quote from contemplative author Thomas Merton: "Contemplative living is living in true relationship with oneself, God, others and nature, free of the illusions of separateness."  Scott shares two recent experiences he has had in nature that remind of how deeply interconnected our lives are with on another and with God.

WARNING: Nothing you see is real, and your brain evolved to hide the truth?!

Drawing inspiration from Ousama Alshurafa's teachings and book "The Afterlife Manual," this episode explores a powerful paradigm shift: recognizing that worldly causes (asbab) are not true agents of change or benefit, but rather veils through which Allah works His decree. Money doesn't benefit us with Allah's permission... rather, Allah benefits us through money. Medicine doesn't heal us...Allah heals us through medicine. This subtle language shift reflects a profound difference in belief and transforms our relationship with the world.The concept connects beautifully with my coaching framework (Circumstances, Nervous System Thoughts, Emotions, Actions, Results). When we understand that circumstances are neutral and don't cause our emotions – our thoughts about them do – we reclaim tremendous agency. This perspective doesn't mean disengaging from the world; it means engaging with clarity and trust.This episode touches on many practical applications, like noticing your language about causes and effects. When you catch yourself putting circumstances before Allah, gently correct yourself. Before taking medicine or making investments, intend in your heart: "I'm turning to Allah to bring about the benefit these means can provide." As you cultivate this awareness, you'll find greater peace, regardless of external conditions.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If this podcast has benefited you, imagine the value of a one-on-one meeting with me!

Welcome to the creative economy, which is built to strip mine from your body and soul any glimmer of talent, skill, or genius you might possess and exploit it. Our unlucky men, Lucien and David, a poet and an inventor, are looking to make their riches in pre-1848 France, only to find the world is not built to tolerate, let alone celebrate, people like them. They try their luck. It doesn't go well. But at least Balzac spends a lot of time telling us about what kinds of velvet they were wearing along the way. Joseph and Jessa discuss why Marx loved Balzac, why a fool makes a frustrating character, and why one shouldn't read about a failed poet while on book tour.

We're live from the floor of the Jeff Shore Sales & Marketing Summit in Denver, where we're catching up with some of the brightest minds in new home sales and marketing. From seasoned pros like Gary Hendrickson to rising stars like Abby Adams, this episode captures real-time insights on buyer confidence, market momentum, and how builders are leaning into tech to build trust and close deals.You'll hear perspectives from:

Psychologist Anne Wilson studies how we construct our identities over time—how we remember the past, imagine the future, and tell ourselves stories that shape who we believe we are. In this episode, we explore why our memories are often less reliable than we think, and how that inaccuracy might actually be a feature, not a bug. Anne shares insights from her work on temporal self-appraisal theory, including surprising research showing how people often rewrite their pasts to make it seem like they're always improving. We also talk about how memory malleability impacts mental health, relationships, and political polarization. Why do people remember the same childhood in radically different ways? Why do people recall their past selves as worse than they actually were?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to David Freeman from Palm Coast, FL. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. You're helping people everywhere live with authentic faith. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 10:23-31: And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” Peter began to say to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”— Mark 10:23-31 Jesus speaks a sobering fact: “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Not because riches are wrong. But because riches are deceptive. Wealth, comfort, and success—all can offer an illusion. An illusion of control, security, and self-made power. But these are shadows, not substance. And many of us, even those without great wealth, fall for the same illusions. We often cling to: Titles for identity. Relationships for validation. Savings for security. Performance for peace. And yet, when these things are threatened, we freak out, because what we thought was firm was faulty, what was solid was shifting sand. And Jesus wants to set us free from this illusion. Not to take away our joy, but to free us from the illusion so we can experience the freedom of greater joy. Then Peter exclaims as he beats his chest, “We've left everything for you!” And Jesus reassures his statement, even though he knows his own words will test him. Peter has not left everything because a rooster is yet to crow. He was still clinging to his ideas about Jesus and his security, safety, and significance, which is why Jesus explained again, "The first will be last. And the last will be first." Stop clinging to things that pretend to be saviors. Your status, your stuff, your success—none of them can save you; only Jesus can. Let go of the illusions, and grab hold of what's real. True security is never found in what you secure, but in the One who saves and secures your salvation. #LetGoAndTrust, #FaithOverComfort, #Project23 ASK THIS: What illusion of control are you tempted to believe? Why do comfort and success often feel more trustworthy than faith? Where is God asking you to trust Him more deeply today? What's something you need to release so you can follow Jesus more fully? DO THIS: Identify one illusion you're tempted to trust—then name it in prayer and replace it with faith in Jesus. PRAY THIS: Lord, open my eyes to the things I rely on instead of you. Help me let go of what's false so I can live by true faith. Amen. PLAY THIS: “More Than Anything” by Natalie Grant.

3:18 - Today's Topic Breakdown - It's a Documentary Roundup on today's show, with Sooz Reviews of the My Mom Jayne, the latest installment of Trainwreck (Poop Cruise! Oh my!), and Sally Ride. We learn how Jayne Mansfield was a victim of a Hollywood system that objectifies women and society's decision to put women, especially beautiful women, into a very small box, and the ways secrets can tear families apart. We discuss the cruise that lost power and became a floating toilet in short order, and our theories about why the passengers got along and left with pretty good memories anyway. We talk about astronaut and badass bitch Sally Ride, and how the very reasons she became a trailblazer also made her hard to get to know and somewhat unlikable. Plus, we hear about the "birthday effect" where people are more likely to die on their birthdays, and we learn whether it's actually true or an illusion, and if it's true, why that might be.3:18 - Episode Table Of Contents7:34 - Susie and Sarah on the field at the Pirates game11:06 - Our favorite makeup ever13:40 - Jayne Mansfield Documentary23:40 - Poop Cruise Documentary36:06 - Our favorite comfy athlege clothes.38:06 - Sally Ride Documentary46:45 - The Birthday Effect57:20 - Share your comments about the Birthday Effect.Comment on Spotify, and on YouTubeConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Visit https://shopbeam.com/BRAINCANDY and use code BRAINCANDY to get our exclusive discount of up to 35% off.New customers can get the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara and a mini-sized Brilliant Eye Brightener at a special set price with free shipping at https://thrivecausemetics.com/BRAINCANDYSave 20% Off Honeylove by going to https://www.honeylove.com/BRAINCANDY #honeylovepodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are biofuels and other forms of bioenergy truly ‘renewable' and ‘carbon neutral?'

In this academic-themed interview episode of Decoding the Gurus, Matt and Chris sit down to chat with Dorsa Amir and Chaz Firestone (@chazfirestone) about their recent paper 'Is Visual Perception WEIRD? The Müller-Lyer Illusion and the Cultural Byproduct Hypothesis.'In a conversation that serves as a welcome tonic to the endless lamentations of the gurus about academic groupthink and closed-minded silos, Dorsa and Chaz discuss the interdisciplinary nature of their work, debates around universal vs. culturally specific psychology, and the strength of evidence that visual perception varies between cultures. We also learn about the dangers of being STUPID: Studying Topics Uninformed by Prior Investigations in the Discipline, and attempt to uncover just how much Chaz enjoys popping balloons.A fun one that might even leave you a little bit more optimistic than usual!LinksAmir, D., & Firestone, C.

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses the surprising inefficiencies in commercial real estate investing, specifically focusing on the apartment sector. He unpacks why markets like Chicago—despite strong rent growth and solid fundamentals—have higher cap rates and attract less capital than high-growth but lower-performing markets like Dallas-Fort Worth. John explores how investor behavior, herd mentality, and institutional capital flows influence asset values more than actual property performance. He concludes by highlighting overlooked cashflow markets like Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Milwaukee that offer strong yields in today's high-interest-rate environment.
