Welcome to the fourth terrace of Purgatory proper!Dante and Virgil reach the top of the stairs just as night falls and the pilgim loses all possibility of forward momentum. He hesitates--from sloth?--and turns to Virgil--still damned!--to explain where they are.Virgil, the guide of Purgatory. It's still as shocking as it was sixteen cantos ago!Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we stop at the cusp of the fourth terrace of Purgatory proper.Would you like to help underwrite the many costs of this podcast?

If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me, please find this episode on my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:12] What truce has been called when it comes to the pilgrim's legs? And why does this fourth terrace of Purgatory seem so very silent and empty?[07:33] Is Dante the pilgrim hesitant? Or slothful?[08:59] Why is Virgil's explanation of the terrace so opaque, so poetic?[10:25] Is COMEDY beginning to value opacity?[12:37] What is the medieval understanding of sloth? How would Dante define it?[17:26] How does PURGATORIO, Canto XVII, match two cantos in INFERNO (XI and XVII)?[21:02] Reading the passage again: PURGATORIO, Canto XVII, lines 73 - 90.

Sapía has finished her amazingly complex speech with the pilgrim Dante . . . or has she? At the opening of Canto XIV, we're not sure who is speaking? Still Sapía? No, two envious souls, leaning against each other, almost gossiping about our pilgrim. And nothing satisfies envy quite like gossip.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we explore this new thing: the opening of a canto in COMEDY in which unnamed (and unknowable!) souls just starting talking out of the blue. Be on guard. They may not be all they seem at first blush.Please consider supporting this podcast through your contribution.

If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation about this passage, please find this individual episode on my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:31] Two penitent souls interrupt the action of PURGATORIO.[06:00] The opening of canto XIV is a new thing in COMEDY, much as Sapía has identified Dante the pilgrim as a new thing in her world.[08:19] There are two curious words in this opening dialogue: "our" and "sweetly."[11:45] These two spirits are apparently quite intimate with each other. Will that intimacy pay off?[12:50] One of the envious penitents divides Dante's soul from his body . . . and uses Dante's own words to address him.[15:41] Dante is quite cagey when he answers their question, all the while putting his soul and body back together.[20:16] Dante replies with one of his own favorite rhetorical techniques: periphrasis. Elsewhere in COMEDY, Dante is pretty forthcoming about his origins.[22:53] Is Dante modest? Or cagey? Or "just" truthful?[28:41] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XIV, lines 1 - 21.

Dante has finally come among the envious on the bare, bleak, blue-gray second terrace of Mount Purgatory. We've seen their condition: eyes stitched shut. Now for Dante's reaction. And Virgil's reaction to Dante's reaction. And Dante's ham-handed attempt to flatter someone to speak up.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we approach on of the most significant and curious figures in all of COMEDY. Dante the pilgrim will call for her in this passage . . . and she'll make her appearance in the next passage/episode.If you'd like to help support this podcast, please consider donating to cover the licensing, hosting, streaming, domain, and royalty fees by visiting this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:57] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XIII, Lines 73 - 93. If you'd like to read along, print it off, or drop a comment to continue the conversation, please go to my website: markscarbrough.com.[04:05] Does Dante think he makes a social gaffe?[07:40] Is Virgil irritated at Dante's reaction?[09:48] Is this an allegorical passage or a naturalistic one? Are we being played?[14:45] Is Dante's flattery misplaced?[19:19] Is Dante's flattery predictive of the poem ahead?[22:41] How much irony textures this passage?[25:28] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XIII, lines 73 - 93.

Dante the pilgrim and Virgil have a little ways to go before they finally exit the terrace of pride. In fact, Dante has to come to a surprising revelation: It's getting easier. And Virgil has to explain why: Desire is being purified. How? By erasing what God has written.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we look at the interpretive dilemmas and philosophical quagmires of the final moments on the terrace of pride, the first of the terraces of Purgatory proper in Dante's PURGATORIO.If you'd like to help support this podcast and help cover its stream, licensing, web-hosting, and royalty fees, please consider donating at this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:12] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XII, lines 118 - 139. If you'd like to read along or drop a comment to continue the conversation, please go to my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:36] The climb in hell and in Purgatory both involve the notion of a throat.[06:44] Pride is the primary sin and delight is the primary motivation forward. But has it always been this way in COMEDY?[12:57] Canto XII ends on a light-hearted note . . . perhaps for poetic reasons.[16:32] First hard question: Is Dante the pilgrim truly expunged of pride?[19:51] Second hard question: Has Dante the poet moved the fence of his world to include himself in his own schematics?[24:56] Third hard question: Why does God's writing have to be erased?[30:53] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XII, lines 118 - 139.

We've come to the first penitent who speaks after the gate of Purgatory: Omberto Aldobrandesco. He's from a storied, titled family, a nobleman brought low. Or is he?Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we hear Omberto's side of the story, try to discern his character through his words, and ponder why Dante makes the first penitent of Purgatory proper so very boring.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:27] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XI, lines 46 - 72. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me, please go to my website: markscarbrough.com.[03:55] More decentering in the passage: Is Dante trying to decenter (or humble) the reader?[09:35] Is Omberto Aldobrandesco humbled?[14:12] Or is he still prideful?[15:54] Or is he both?[17:49] Who was Omberto Aldobrandesco?[22:55] Omberto articulates the basic understanding of purgation in PURGATORIO.[25:53] But why does Dante make the first penitent beyond Purgatory's gate so, well, boring?[29:16] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XI, lines 46 - 72.

We are actually on location talking to people in person about the biggest news and stories from the AV industry! We are joined by Gina Sansivero, George Tucker, and the Bald AV Guys (Rich Miller & George Chacko) in Poly/HP's office in New York!Audinate has announced a new brand identity for the company and their flagship solution Dante. Not to be confused with the Inferno author or Devil May Cry protagonist (though the new red may confuse) Audinate's Dante is the premier AV over IP solution for audio. But now this push is touting video as well. Is Dante ready for video?L-Acoustics hosted an event in Tampa to dispose of some counterfeit speakers in a spectacular and public fashion. This "destruction event" is exactly what it sounds like- 136 seized counterfeit speakers meeting the end of a sledgehammer. L-Acoustics said that removing these fake products in such a showy fashion helps sustain trust within the space. Are they right? What can we do as an industry in the event of counterfeit solutions?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why does the discourse on love begin with the words of a minor character, Marco of Lombardy, rather than Virgil? Are Virgil's discourses on love and free will more Augustinian or Aristotelian? Is love the only thing in the cosmos that does not diminish as it is shared? Light? What does it mean to say God is Love? Is God love? Is Virgil's schematic approach to these questions an example of the limits of human reason? Is faith what is missing? Is Dante the poet critiquing Virgil, or are we critiquing Dante? Even if you claim to hate God, must you still love God in order to live at all, since whatever you love was created by God, and your love for it is ultimately directed toward God, by your free will (or “free will”) via the object of your love? Because God loves every thing that God created, and free will is the spark of the Divine in you? So – evil?

In the last episode of this podcast, we glossed (or explained) the long list of rulers who are in the darkening dale ahead of us, as well as Dante, Virgil, and Sordello.In this episode, let's ask interpretive questions of this long, difficult passage at the end of PURGATORIO, Canto VII. Some of these questions have answers; some, tentative answers; and some, mere speculation. But that's the intellectual fun of the walk with Dante!Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as I ask ten questions of this tough passage in PURGATORIO.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[02:06] My English translation of the passage: Purgatorio, Canto VII, lines 82 - 136. If you'd like to read along or drop a comment to continue the conversation, please go to my website: markscarbrough.com.[06:28] The ten questions: First, How do we know these are all "negligent rulers"?[09:45] How is the antiphon "Salve Regina" significant for this passage (and maybe for PURGATORIO as a whole)?[13:21] Is there an allegorical (or symbolic) significance to the "not steep" approach to this dale?[14:33] Does the passage verge toward nihilism?[16:15] Is Dante a proto-democratic thinker?[18:13] How is political power bestowed in Dante's day?[19:40] Is there humor in this passage?[22:16] How does Dante believe political power should be bestowed?[25:02] How are PURGATORIO Cantos VI and VII connected?[27:21] Who is the intended audience of this passage?

The frenzied souls had spoken in unison, in monophony. Now they begin to differentiate, to enter into polyphony with each other.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we hang out on the first minor ledge of Purgatory with Dante the pilgrim and Virgil, his guide. They've been confronted by a mad battalion charge of souls who want to know how the pilgrim is in his body and what he can do for them when he returns to the land of the living.One of them steps out and tells the story of his death, the first of three stories that end PURGATORIO, Canto V. Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:32] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto V, Lines 64 - 84. If you'd like to read along, print it off, make notes, or continue the discussion with me, please go to my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:43] This soul is Iacopo or Jacopo del Cassero (c. 1260 CE - 1298 CE). Here are the important facts about his life.[10:14] A line-by-line reading of the first half of Jacopo's story of his death.[18:53] A line-by-line reading of the second half of Jacopo's story of his death.[23:55] Why is this passage so associated with Italian geography? What has so much of PURGATORIO so far been about Italian geography and politics? Is Dante making a comment about his homeland as a sort of Ante-Purgatory?[26:47] Jacopo's speech shows Dante the poet's attempt to "reconcile" the fraudulent nature of language while upholding its poetic possibilities. It's a task destined to fail--and spectacularly.

We're nearing the bottom of the eighth circle of hell, the fundamentals of fraud--where we're treated to an insult contest between Master Adam and Sinon, the Greek who lied to the Trojans and got them to let in the wooden horse. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we walk with the (silent!) pilgrim Dante and his mentor, (the even more silent!) Virgil, through the circles of hell and the "malebolge" of fraud. We're nearing the end of our infernal journey. And we're about to get some very low-class comedy in COMEDY. Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE: [01:48] My English translation of the passage: INFERNO, Canto XXX, lines 104 - 129. If you'd like to read along or drop a comment, please go to my website, markscarbrough.com. [04:21] Where is the pilgrim Dante? [06:28] How is this passage funny? [12:41] The insults are a "progression" of degradation. [15:06] What's so important about Narcissus? [16:38] Why is twinning central to this concept of fraud? [21:14] Dante may be commenting on some of the poetry of his youth: the tenzone with Forese Donati. [25:48] Is Dante being nostalgic or critical of his tenzone? Or is it even more complicated than that? [28:07] Why should we complicate this passage so much? [29:38] Rereading the entire "second act" with Master Adam: INFERNO, Canto XXX, lines 91 - 129.

Dante and his guide, Virgil, leave the seventh of the evil pouches (the malebolge) of fraud by means of a rocky scramble. Then the poet stops and drops into a short discussion of poetic theory. He's coming to understand how he has to write his own masterwork, COMEDY. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, for this short passage from INFERNO, sandwiched between two tour-de-force performances in the poem. Here are the segments of this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE: [01:52] My English translation of the passage: Inferno, Canto XXVI, lines 13 - 24. If you'd like to read along or drop a comment about this episode or passage, go to my website, markscarbrough.com. [03:11] The pilgrim has to climb the stairs up from the seventh pouch, which anticipates the greater climb ahead on Mount Purgatory. [06:20] The pilgrim and his guide are strolling along and scrambling, too. Is that disconnect an allegory for the passage ahead? [08:39] Dante the poet always comes back to geography as the "ground" of his story. [11:38] Dante's first notion of his poetics: pulling the reins on talent so it doesn't run in front of virtue. [15:17] Dante's second notion of his poetics: human suffering disciplines talent. [18:15] Is Dante's discussion of his poetics anticipating Ulysses just ahead of us? Or Mount Purgatory, far ahead of us?

Janet and Dante recap some great listener interactions and then dig into Episode Two of ATLA: The Avatar Returns, which leads to some big revelations… Is Appa's new nickname “the lazy canoe?” Did Zuko get bested by his own bed?

DANTE'S PEAK and VOLCANO (1997) Don’t look back. The pressure is building. This thing’s gonna blow, and it’s hotter than hell! No, this is not When We Were Young’s episode on the best porn of the 90s — it’s the pyroclastic flow of natural disaster flicks unleashed by Twister’s sweeping success in the summer of ‘96. To blatantly rip off our first episode, Episode 33 surmounts Dante’s Peak and pokes around in the stinky tunnels of Volcano, two back-to-back disaster doppelgangers from 1997. First, Chris relates the real-life 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens, the basis for Dante’s Peak’s magmatic magic. Then, Becky harkens back to her days as a budding geologist to scientifically measure the likelihood of a volcano suddenly bursting from the loins of Los Angeles. One has Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton, the other has Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche. Both feature thwarted vacations, youth in peril, charred limbs, and dogs leaping away from lava in the nick of time — but neither was a seismic event at the box office. This podcast once concluded that Twister doesn’t suck, but does Volcano blow? Is Dante’s Peak dormant or active? And which rates higher on the disaster epic Richter scale? In this episode, strong opinions flow like magma until these hosts are toast! [Please excuse the audio quality in this episode - in keeping with our disaster theme, the computer fucked up the recording! We assure you we'll return to peak fidelity in future episodes.] When We Were Young is a podcast devoted to the most beloved pop culture of our formative years (roughly 1980-2000).

On today’s ABC episode of the Daytime Confidential podcast Luke, Regan and Eye on Soaps’ Belinda (The View From the Recliner’s Edge) discuss the latest storylines and news for the week of November 9, including: More fan favorites return to All My Children for the 40th Anniversary. Julia Barr, Eden Riegel, Eva La Rue, Leven Rambin and more are set to return. The question becomes, can Chuck Pratt whip AMC into shape so that lapsed fans who tune in will have reason to stick around? Is there someone missing from the line up of returnees who you want to return? BethAnn Bonner makes her Pine Valley debut. Is it hard to watch and believe the Zach and Kendall storyline knowing that Thorsten Kaye isn’t making the move to L.A.? Annie pretends to fake the loss of a baby only to find out she’s actually pregnant. How original. Chad Brannon is returning to General Hospital for one episode. Luke is sick of the smug, spoiled Michael Corinthos III, but Regan loves this Michael. What do you think of him? Jonathan Jackson has had some time to settle back into the role of Lucky, but Regan isn’t sure she’s liking this version of Lucky. Hear her explain why. Is Dante’s secret identity the worst kept secret in town or would that be Jake’s paternity? Everyone and their mother seems to know–or will soon find out–who he really is. Bass ass Mitch Laurence has returned to shake up the citizens of Llanview’s lives. Were Jessica and Natalie’s reaction to over-the-top? The DC crew was disappointed with how the revelation that Mitch is Rex’s father played out. Couldn’t it have waited until Rex returned to Llanview so that we could see more people’s reaction all at once? Marcy gave birth to her miracle baby in a dramatic scene, but we’re happy she finally has a child. All this and much more on today’s show!
