Anna returns early from her trip to Venice, confessing to Helen her life's all over the place, especially when it comes to making sure Carol's okay, as she never admits to any problems. At Glebe Cottage Anna suggests Carol needs more support. She can't just rely on neighbours helping out. Carol's stubbornly resistant before Anna asks if she'll come and live with her. Carol scoffs, they'd end up killing each other. She's staying where she is, she values her autonomy too much. Anna then suggests someone checking in on Carol daily, but Carol hated having a cleaner even twice a week. It's an impasse. When Helen turns up with soup, Carol denounces being seen as a charity case, but still accepts the offer. Anna and Carol continue sniping at each other, while Helen excuses herself to heat up the soup. Seeing George waiting at the bus stop Ruairi offers him a lift to Felpersham. Grateful George is embarrassed to admit he's going to a counselling appointment, but Ruairi is very encouraging. George then wonders if Ruairi has ever had counselling, before extolling the virtues of going and explaining how his counsellor is helping him see things differently. George is surprised Ruairi never talked to anyone about losing his mum, thinking he's been lucky by comparison, still having both his parents. George then politely declines Ruairi's offer to wait and drive him home again, and apologises for comparing his situation to Ruairi's. Ruairi tells him he's glad he did, before George thanks him for the lift. He won't forget it.

Crypto OG Erik Voorhees joins The Chopping Block crew to dissect the future of agentic payments, the eternal war for privacy, memecoin-fueled AI drama on Moltbook, and why your next DeFi user might just be your OpenClaw agent—plus, a candid look at crypto's core and how AI turns software engineering existential. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we're joined by none other than Erik Voorhees, legendary crypto pioneer and founder of Venice, for a no-holds-barred discussion on the wild convergence of AI, crypto, and the meme coin casino. Erik unpacks his journey from anti-surveillance crusader to AI entrepreneur, why Venice is all-in on privacy and free speech for LLMs, and how “provable privacy” is a Sisyphean technical challenge. The crew breaks down OpenClaw's agent drama, memecoin carpet-bombing of Moltbook, and Meta muscling in on AI social networks. We debate agentic payments (will your first paying customer soon be a bot?), the true game theory behind state surveillance, and why crypto's greatest killer use case might actually be building tools for robots instead of humans. Plus: existential crises for software engineers, why “AI alignment” is a philosophical dead end, and the childlike glee (or open psychosis) of trading OpenClaw war stories at AI meetups.

What do you do when you have a bad reading or have bad dreams? You can change them! Find out the easy fix in this episode of Breathe Love & Magic Maybe someone told you something that felt off in a reading that stuck in your head for years. The reader might have said, “You'll never meet the right partner,” or “You'll always struggle with money.” Gee, thanks for that notion. Argghhhh! Feeling lost in midlife? Register for the Free Midlife Magic Masterclass 3/20 @2pm ET or 3/21 @11am ET Let me know you choice of day in the message! Like a Pebble in Your Shoe Statements like that can lodge in the subconscious like a pebble in your shoe – so bothersome until you can remove it.  I recommend that’s what you do with a bad reading – replace it with something that’s supportive or positive. Years ago, this is one reason why I stopped getting casual readings, the kind where you're just curious and want to hear what an intuitive person has to say. For me, that started to feel like giving my power away. I still ask a trusted friend for intuitive insight from time to time, but only about a specific situation where I truly want another perspective. Or I feel stuck and aren’t sure which way to go. Recent Reading Recently, I was interviewing a woman who does an interesting style of readings. I allowed her to use me as a guinea pig during the podcast recording so she could demonstrate her method. That was not my best idea. I asked what I thought was a simple question that wouldn't get me into any trouble. How wrong I was. The experience inspired me to share this story because I want you to know how to handle something like this if it happens to you. I'm going to explain how to reset your energy and take your power back. And this same method can also help with bad dreams or even uncomfortable past life memories. Back in the 1990s I used to attend psychic fairs with friends. I was curious about metaphysical practices and fascinated by the people who lived and breathed this work. Plus, it was fun browsing books, crystals, and spiritual tools that were much harder to find back then. At One Psychic Fair At one fair I sat down for a reading and asked about my near future. The reader started describing a situation that immediately made me nervous. Before I knew it she was predicting that I would become ill in the coming months. I was currently healthy and had not asked anything about my health. I remember feeling furious that someone would say something like that so casually. My reaction wasn't exactly graceful. I stood up, slammed my hands on the table, looked her in the eye, and said, “That was not helpful!” Then I walked away in a huff. Admittedly, not my finest moment. Thankfully I never became ill that spring, but the reading lingered in my mind for a while. At that time I didn't know how to clear something like that out of my energy field. Fast forward to last week during that podcast interview. The woman I was speaking with seemed nice and good-hearted, but at one point she said something that made my jaw drop. She said you always need a bad element in a reading. That is definitely not true in my world. Helpful & Uplifting Readings When I do readings for clients, the goal is always clarity, compassion, and support. Even when something challenging appears, I talk about the lessons involved and what options or perspectives might help. A reading should leave someone feeling more empowered, not discouraged. As the recording continued, the direction of the reading she was giving me started to feel increasingly dismal. She tried to soften it when she noticed my facial expression, but the cat was already out of the bag so to speak. When we finished recording, I suddenly felt exhausted and strangely sad. I went to lie down on the couch and took a short nap. When I woke up I realized what had happened. That reading had left a heavy feeling hanging over me. First, Clear Your Energy The first thing to do after an encounter like that is clear your energy. I did a quick Reiki clearing and there are many ways to do this. You can smudge yourself, take a shower, wash your hands, or simply step outside for fresh air and sunshine. Then I remembered something incredibly helpful I learned years ago from Hawaiian shaman Serge Kahili King, and later encountered again in a book by Denise Linn. It's a simple idea that changes the way you see situations like this. You are not stuck with someone else's predictions. You have the power to change the outcome energetically. This same approach works in three situations: bad readings, disturbing dreams, and troubling past life memories. Here's what I did. Change the Outcome I spent time imagining the outcome I actually wanted. For example, I pictured the perfect summer. Lots of sunshine. Temperatures in the low 80s and low humidity. Walking along the shoreline or sitting with my feet in the sand. In my mind I was reading a book, meditating, writing in my journal, laughing with friends, and soaking up the ocean air. It felt peaceful and joyful. That was the energy I wanted to create. If you've had a discouraging or bad reading, you can do something similar at home. Take out your deck of cards. Don't perform a new reading. Instead, look through the deck and choose the cards that represent the outcome you truly want. Next arrange them as your ideal spread. This isn't wishful thinking. This is directing energy. Magic isn't about waving a wand and hoping for the best. It’s intention combined with focus and action. When you select the outcome you want and imagine it clearly, you begin aligning your thoughts and energy with that direction. Once you arrange the cards, you can take a picture of them, leave them out on your table, or revisit them whenever you want to reinforce the feeling. You've intentionally shifted the energy toward the outcome you desire. You are never stuck with someone else's reading. My future is up to me. It's in my hands. And so is yours! Change Bad Dreams This approach works with dreams as well. I once had a dream where a lion was staring at me in a threatening way. I woke up with my heart pounding and no idea what it meant. Later that day I thought about the dream and realized I had been feeling threatened in some area of my life. So I decided to revisit the dream in my imagination. I got on the couch, pictured the lion again in my mind, and waited to see what response came naturally. To my surprise, I roared at the lion. I became fierce and confronted it head-on. And in the vision, the lion backed away. It sounds funny now, but it completely shifted the energy of that dream. After all, it's your dream. You can change it any way you like. You can do something similar with past life memories. in Denise Linn’s book Past Lives, Present Miracles,  describes guiding large groups of people to recall past lives and then helping them rewrite the ending of a troubling experience. The lessons have already been learned. But changing the ending can shift the emotional imprint you carry. In one memory I recalled being part of a group practicing magic in Venice during the 1400s. Someone tipped off the authorities and they burst in and executed everyone. I did a visualization about this ending to change it. What came to me was to invite the guards to join us in the magic rather than kill us. In the vision they laid down their weapons and participated in the magic! The energy of the experience changed completely. The Magic of Neuroscience Why does this work? Neuroscience offers an interesting explanation. When you vividly imagine something, your brain activates many of the same neural pathways it would if the event actually happened. And your brain cannot tell the difference between a created memory or a real one. Focusing on a new outcome creates and strengthens new neural pathways. You aren't changing the historical event, but you are changing the emotional imprint it leaves in your system. And that shifts your energy. So if you ever receive a discouraging reading, had dreams or recalled an uncomfortable past life memory, remember this: No reader, no dream, and no memory has more authority over your life than your own consciousness. You have the power to choose the energy you want to create. Set your intention. Focus your thoughts on the outcome you prefer. Then take whatever actions support that direction. That's magic.

In this episode of Venice Talks, Monica meets Shanti Ganesha, founder of Meracu, a contemporary leather workshop in Venice.We talk about the first moment leather felt like a language, the leap that led to opening a workshop in 2022, and how living between Venice and India shapes a design identity that feels built into every piece, not added on.From material to method, we explore how a hide is chosen, what certified vegetable tanned leather changes over time, and why some steps cannot be rushed. We also get into the unseen side of independent craft: refusing serial production, learning to say no, and answering the question every artisan hears sooner or later, “Can you make it exactly the same?”A conversation about hands, time, and integrity, with Venice as a living backdrop where making still means something.Show key notesShanti Ganesha, founder of Meracu, on building a leather workshop in Venice (2022)Between Venice and India: how heritage becomes structure, not decorationChoosing a hide, reading grain and scars, and working with certified vegetable tanned leatherThe slow step you cannot rush and the signature gesture that reveals the makerRefusing serial production, learning to say no, and answering “Can you make it identical?”Looking ahead: collaborations, apprentices, and a five year vision for the workshopCall to action

Venice is usually remembered as a beautiful city of canals, masks, and merchants.That version is incomplete.In reality, Venice was one of the most dangerous powers in European history — not because it had the biggest population or the largest army, but because it mastered something more powerful: logistics, debt, surveillance, and control of trade.In this episode of Hidden Forces in History, we break down how Venice built an industrial-scale naval arsenal centuries ahead of its time, created one of the earliest durable systems of public debt, locked its ruling class into a permanent power structure, and used the Fourth Crusade to destroy a rival empire for profit.This is not the romantic Venice of postcards and tourism.This is Venice as machine. Venice as operating system. Venice as the empire that taught later powers how to rule without looking like conquerors.If you want to understand how modern empire actually works, start here.Subscribe for more investigations into the hidden forces behind history.

In this episode, Dr. Steve Judson shares a story that happened twice — decades apart — and what it taught him about the roadblocks that show up right when things start moving. When he opened his first practice in Newington, Connecticut, the town tore up the road in front of his office. Cops steering patients away. Business grinding to a halt. But Dr. Steve walked down, had a conversation, and by the end of the week that same police officer was a patient — and most of the department followed. Now, a month into taking over the Venice, Florida office, he pulls up to find the same orange construction signs staring back at him. You can't make it up. Challenges don't announce themselves. They show up at the worst time, in the most inconvenient way, right when momentum is building. But the people who've been preparing — who've stayed rooted in purpose and focused on the mission — don't get stopped by a road closure. They find a way through. It's time to Wake Up Humans — don't let their roadblocks become yours. How's your Atlas? Learn more at drstevejudson.com and check out Steve Judson's books and gear.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to George Zeck from Venice, FL. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 8:1-3. Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that "all of us possess knowledge." This "knowledge" puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. — 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 You can be theologically correct—and spiritually careless. Paul opens this section with a warning that cuts against a familiar instinct in believers: the belief that being right automatically makes us faithful. The real danger in a secular culture is not ignorance, but arrogance—truth held without consideration for others. The Corinthians understood that wooden and stone idols were nothing. They knew meat was just meat. Paul doesn't dispute that. He affirms it. But he exposes the problem. Knowledge alone inflates. It creates distance. It feeds superiority. It subtly shifts the question from "What honors God?" to "What am I allowed to do?" Do you see the shift? It is a shift from "He" to "me". But thoughtful "love" for God and others, combined with good theology, does stretch the believer to do some things they would not usually do. Stay humble in moments where pride could be misunderstood. Restrain actions where freedom is allowed. Consider how our accurate theological freedom might adversely affect others. That's why this section of chapter 8 still presses on us today. We may not debate food sacrificed to idols, but many believers still rationalize the so-called "gray areas" of life—places where Scripture allows freedom, yet pride tempts us to lean toward self rather than love. The Corinthians weren't arguing whether idols were real; they were arguing whether their knowledge gave them permission to participate, signal approval, or remain indifferent anyway. In the same way today, the issue is often not personal involvement but endorsement, celebration, or normalization. What God calls sin is reframed as virtue. Sexual immorality is affirmed as love. Abortion is defended as compassion. Same-sex marriage is praised as progress. Drunkenness, pornography, marijuana use, and indulgence are excused as harmless freedoms. Believers may not practice these things themselves, but participation, silence, or celebration can quietly communicate approval. And the defense often sounds spiritual: "I know better." "I'm free in Christ." "This doesn't affect my faith." "I'm not hurting anyone." Paul dismantles that logic. Being right is not the same as being faithful. If knowledge does not lead to love, it has already begun to lead us wrong. Truth without humility hardens hearts. Freedom without love compromises witness. Paul ends with a quiet but profound shift. Maturity is not defined by how much you know about God, but by whether you are known by God. Faithfulness in a pagan world is not measured by how much freedom you can defend, but by how carefully you steward it for the good of others and the glory of God. DO THIS: Before exercising a freedom you believe you have, pause and ask whether it builds others up or subtly elevates yourself. ASK THIS: Where am I more focused on being right than being loving? How might my freedoms affect the conscience or faith of others? Am I using knowledge to serve—or to justify myself? PRAY THIS: Father, guard my heart from pride disguised as conviction. Teach me to hold truth with humility and freedom with love. Shape my life so that it reflects Your heart, not just correct beliefs. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Make Room"

Ryan and David break down a week where war hit markets, and the safe-haven playbook broke down. Oil spiked, gold failed, bonds sold off, the dollar caught the flight to safety, and crypto somehow bounced right through it. Then they unpack Trump's public pressure campaign against banks over stablecoin yield, Kraken's historic Fedwire breakthrough, and why crypto is starting to look less like an outsider and more like part of the financial core. Plus: Anthropic vs. the Pentagon, Erik Voorhees' private AI push with Venice, fresh Aave governance drama, ZachXBT helping catch the $46M government crypto thief, and the New York Times calling crypto dead right on schedule. ---

Renaissance history is so much wilder and weirder than you would have expected. Very fun chatting with Ada Palmer (historian, novelist, and composer based at the University of Chicago).Some especially fascinating things I learned from the conversation and her excellent book, Inventing the Renaissance:Not only did Gutenberg go bankrupt in the 1450s (after inventing the printing press), but so did the bank that foreclosed on him, and so did his apprentices. This is because paper was still very expensive, and so you had to make this big upfront CAPEX decision to print a batch of 300 copies of a book - say the Bible. But he's in a small landlocked German town where only priests are allowed to read the Bible - so he sells maybe 7 copies. It's only when this technology ends up in Venice, where you can hand 10 copies to each of 30 ship captains going to 30 different cities, that it starts taking off.Speaking of which, the printing revolution wasn't just one single discrete event, just as the computer revolution has been this whole century of going from mainframes -> personal computers -> phones -> social media, each with different and accelerating social impact. Books came first, but they're slow to print, and made in small batches. The real revolution is pamphlets - much faster, much harder to censor. Pamphlet runners are how you can have Luther's 95 Theses go from Wittenberg to London in 17 days.So much other wild stuff from this episode. For example, did you know that the largest and best-funded experimental laboratory in 17th century Europe was very likely the Roman one run by inquisitors? Ada jokes that the Inquisition accidentally invented peer review. The focus of the Inquisition is really misunderstood - it was obsessed with catching dangerous new heretics like Lutherans and Calvinists - it only executed one person for doing science.And this leads Ada to make an observation that I think is really wise: the authorities and censors are always worried about the exact wrong things given 20/20 hindsight. When Inquisition raids an underground bookshop during the French Enlightenment, they don't mind the Rousseau, Voltaire, and Encyclopédie, but they lose their minds about some Jansenist treatises about the technical nature of the Trinity.More broadly, a lesson for me from this episode is that it's just really hard to shape history in the specific way that you want to impact things. One of the most famous medieval scholars is this guy Petrarch. He survives the Black Death in the 1340s, watches his friends die to plague and bandits, and says: our leaders are selfish and terrible, we need to raise them on the Roman classics so they'll act like Cicero. So Europe pours money into finding ancient manuscripts, building libraries, and educating princes on classical virtues. Those princes grow up and fight bigger, nastier wars than ever before with new deadlier technology. And this, combined with greater urbanization and endemic plague, results in European life expectancy decreasing from 35 in the medieval period to 18 during the Renaissance (the period which we in retrospect think of as a golden age but which many people living through it thought of as the continuation of the dark ages that had persisted since the fall of Rome).Anyways, the libraries Petrarch inspires stick around, the printing press makes them accessible to everyone, and 200 years later a generation of medical students is reading Lucretius and asking “what if there are atoms and that's how diseases work?” which eventually leads to germ theory, vaccines, and a cure for the Black Death (Ada has longer more involved explanation of how cosplaying the Romans results through a series of many steps to the scientific revolution). Petrarch wanted to produce philosopher-kings that shared his values. Instead he created a world that doesn't share his values at all but can cure the disease that destroyed his.Watch on YouTube; read the transcript.Sponsors* Jane Street is still waiting on someone to solve their backdoor puzzle… They're accepting submissions until April 1st and have set aside $50,000 for the best attempts.

Sign up for the Chicago CWT Listener Meetup. Henry Oliver is the preeminent literary critic for non-literary nerds. His Substack, The Common Reader, has thousands of subscribers drawn in by Henry's conviction that great literature is where ideas "walk and talk amongst the mess of the real world" in a way no other discipline can match. Tyler, who has called Henry's book Second Act "one of the very best books written on talent," sat down with him to compare readings of Measure for Measure and range across English literature more broadly. Tyler and Henry trade rival readings of the play, debate whether Isabella secretly seduces Angelo, argue over whether the Duke's proposal is closer to liberation or enslavement, trace the play's connections to The Merchant of Venice and The Rape of Lucrece, assess the parallels to James I, weigh whether it's a Girardian play (Oliver: emphatically not), and parse exactly what Isabella means when she says "I did yield to him," before turning to the best way to consume Shakespeare, what Jane Austen took from Adam Smith, why Swift may be the most practically intelligent writer in English, how advertising really works and why most of it doesn't, which works in English literature are under- and overrated, what makes someone a late bloomer, whether fiction will deal seriously with religion again, whether Ayn Rand's villains are more relevant now than ever, and much more.

It's Cinco de Luncho time, and this list goes global. With the NFL expanding internationally, the guys draft their Top 5 dream international destinations to host a game, and the debate gets wild. From St. Andrews in Scotland to Athens, Greece, Jasper National Park in Canada, the pyramids of Giza, and even Pompeii with Mount Vesuvius in the background, every pick sparks strong reactions. Tiki shuts down the Athens hype in a hurry, Venice catches a stray, and Iceland somehow enters the chat. It's scenic backdrops, golf trips disguised as football weekends, and pure lunchtime chaos as the NFL goes worldwide.

Episode 205:Last time Ben Jonson's retelling of a slice of Roman Imperial history failed to impress at the Globe theatre. As an actor in that play Shakespeare had first-hand experience of the way the audience in the theatre could turn on the poet and the players alike, but it is difficult to think that his confidence in his own work was much dented by the experience. His next play ‘The Tragedy of Othello, The Moor of Venice' is, I would say, brim full of the confidence of an experienced playwright who knew that his play would both entertain on several levels and provoke much thought in the audience.The dating and first performance of the playThe early publication history of the playDetails from a performance in 1610The source material for the playThe structure of the playThe significance of Venice and CyprusThe structural balances in the playThe poetry and imagery in the playThe use of language as a dramatic techniqueThe urgency of the opening of the playThe character of Iago and how he manipulates his victimsThe character of BrabantioWhat the Elizabethan audience might have thought of a ‘moor'Queen Elizabeth's attitude to immigrants from AfricaHow Shakespeare handled the racial aspects of the playThe character of Micheal CassioSupport the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

Breasts — not as anatomy, but as historical forces. From public policy to pastries, from Renaissance fountains to religious traditions, this episode explores how one very specific body part has shaped centuries of Italian life in ways that are sometimes profound, sometimes absurd, and always unbelievable.Without revealing which stories are true or fake, the episode explores:A Venetian bridge with a name that raises questions about what was happening in that neighborhoodA Sicilian dessert with origins far more intense than its cute appearanceA famous statue whose “good‑luck ritual” has become a tourist traditionA legal ruling that changed how Italians approach beach cultureA Renaissance fountain that took “public morale booster” to a whole new levelEach fact sounds like it could be real… or like it shouldn't be. The hosts have to decide which ones hold up under scrutiny and which ones collapse like a poorly built balcony in 1500s Venice.

Welcome back. After a brief hiatus, I am so happy to bring you episode 19 of this podcast project. Few subjects make a better benchmark than Werner Herzog, who quite literally needs no introduction and to whom I will accordingly not grant such. He is presenting his new film, Ghost Elephants, a documentary concerning South African naturalist Steve Boyse and his quest for a near-mythical species of elephant. (Our own appreciative review, from the film's Venice premiere, can be found here.) Those who've seen Herzog's previous documentaries will be familiar with certain of its formal traits, but this is less a work about obsession, or pain, or even failure than many of those. As he brings up in our interview, it poses an interesting question: how does one live with success? On our call we were joined by his producer, Ariel Leon Isacovitch. There is a belief that to win friends and influence people, it can be useful to refer to people by their first name. I forgot to change my Zoom display name from Jordan Raup, this website's editor in chief, which is why Isacovitch—surely someone who has found success—kindly calls me such. Lest you be distracted amidst a conversation with one of cinema's truest legends.

In this episode, they break down everything: decoding the ticket matrix, hunting down hospitality packages on two separate platforms, navigating snowy switchbacks from Venice with skis on the roof, and what it's actually like to stand in the finish area for some of the most historic women's Alpine races in recent memory.The ski racing delivered in a big way! Federica Brignone won gold on home snow to a stadium full of tiger-suited superfans. Mikaela Shiffrin closed out the women's events with a gold in the slalom that had Nicole in tears.

The Accademia Gallery in Venice, Italy, houses the world's most important collection of Venetian Renaissance painting. This last episode dedicated to this extraordinary museum examines masterpieces by Gentile Bellini ("Stories of the Relic of the True Cross"), Vittore Carpaccio ("Healing of a Madman" and "The Legend of St. Ursula") and Titian ("The Presentation of the Virgin"). 

Lindsay is joined by author Gigi Berardi to discuss her newest book, “Bianca's Cure,” which was released by She Writes Press on February 10th, 2026. Florence, 1563. Forbidden from practicing her herbal cures in Venice, the young noblewoman Bianca Capello flees to Florence, where the ruling Medici family practices alchemy. There, she wins herself an invitation to their palace, and, as well as a path to Duke Regent Francesco's bed. The impassioned bond between Francesco de Medici and Bianca is at the core of this fact-driven dive into medicine, politics, love, and ultimately death in Renaissance Florence. Gigi Berardi hails from Hollywood, and holds degrees in biology, resources and planning, and dance. A Fulbright scholar in Italy and professor at Western Washington University in Bellingham, she also teaches in Florence, Italy. She's written more than 400 reviews and articles for print media and been featured on an array of podcasts and broadcast media. Beyond writing, her other passions include dance, cheesemaking, and travel. Purchase a copy in ebook or paperback. Send us your listener questions to bit.ly/AskYOC.

We bought a house in the charming Provence town of l'Isle sur la Sorgue! That's right: the Pearl of Provence, the Venice of the South, the same place we recorded the Christmas episode last year. And while we'll still live in Paris and do business as usual, this exciting news will surely add a new scent of lavender to everything we do. So: Why did we buy this house? How? What next? Are we leaving Paris? (no). We answer all these questions and more in this week's episode.  I'll share pics and videos along the way, be sure you're following our social media channels.  *********** The Earful Tower exists thanks to support from its members.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 22, 2026 is: foray • FOR-ay • noun A foray is an initial and often hesitant attempt to do something in a new or different field or area of activity, as in “the novelist's foray into nonfiction.” In martial contexts, foray means “a sudden or irregular invasion or attack for war or spoils.” // The professional wrestler's surprise foray into ballet was at first met with skepticism, but he eventually proved himself a dancer of grace and poise. See the entry > Examples: “Bryan Escareño's foray into fashion was the result of happenstance. In 2018, the designer, who was born and raised in Venice, California, bought a green vintage Singer sewing machine at a garage sale determined to learn to make the perfect pair of denim pants. … He began honing his sewing skills, eventually crafting cut-and-sew flannel shirts that caught the eye of his colleagues at LA's Wasteland, a high-end resale boutique.” — Celia San Miguel, USA Today, 3 Dec. 2025 Did you know? For centuries, foray referred only to a sudden or irregular invasion or attack, but in the late 19th century it began to venture into gentler semantic territory. While the newer sense of foray still involves a trek into a foreign territory, the travel is figurative: when you make this kind of foray, you dabble in an area, occupation, or pastime that's new to you. Take the particularly apt example (stay tuned) of mushroom hunting. The likely ancestor of foray is an Anglo-French word referring to the violent sort who do invasion forays, but that word could also refer to a forager—that is, one who wanders in search of food. (Forage has the same etymological source.) Interestingly, foray has seen a resurgence of use connected to its foraging roots, as evidenced by the growing popularity of mycophile-led mushroom “forays” that have been lately popping up like toadstools.

Thirty years ago, Joshua Harris became the cheerleader for purity culture with his book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye." Since then, he's apologized for the book, exited from ministry and his marriage, and announced he's no longer a Christian. He talks to Skye about his journey from fundamentalism to deconstructionism, and back toward curiosity about Jesus. Also this week, how the Trump administration is making paganism great again, why secular progressives are rediscovering the benefits of religion, and how Christians in Springfield, Ohio, have organized to protect Haitian immigrants from deportation. Plus, cannibal jellyfish are taking over Venice, and Phil has seen the wrap light.   Holy Post Plus: Joshua Harris Bonus Interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/151002394/   Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/151013259/ 2:15 - Theme Song   2:37 - Sponsor - Rocket Money - Find and cancel your old subscriptions with Rocket Money at https://www.rocketmoney.com/HOLYPOST   3:42 - Sponsor - Poncho - If you've been looking for the perfect shirt—something breathable, fits great, feels even better, and stands out in a good way—give Poncho a try.
