Greg Jenner is joined in medieval England by Dr Erin Goeres and comedian Alison Spittle to learn all about the tumultuous events of 1066, famously depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry, to celebrate its arrival in London. The death of Edward the Confessor without an heir in January 1066 kicked off a three-way battle for the English throne. The contenders? His brother-in-law, Harold Godwinson, who had himself crowned before Edward's body was cold. His cousin William, already duke of Normandy. And the Norwegian king and famed warrior, Harald. Over the course of just a few short weeks in early autumn, the fight between these three decided the fate of a nation. This episode explores the personalities of these men, taking in Harald's dramatic life of exile in Constantinople, William's illegitimacy, and Godwinson's political credentials – and troublesome little brother, Tostig. And it tells the story of the battles they fought for the throne, at Fulford, Stamford Bridge, and most famously Hastings. And it asks, how accurate is the Bayeux Tapestry, and did Harold really get an arrow in the eye?If you're a fan of larger than life historical figures, bloody battles and messy medieval family drama, you'll love our special episode on 1066.The programme is part of Radio 4's Norman Day, marking the arrival of the Bayeux Tapestry in Britain with programmes reassessing the Norman Conquest and its meaning for us today.If you want more on the events surrounding 1066, we've got episodes on Emma of Normandy and the Bayeux Tapestry.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 2, 2026 is: heterodox • HET-uh-ruh-dahks • adjective Like both unorthodox and unconventional, heterodox describes something, such an idea or belief, that is contrary to or different from an acknowledged standard, a traditional form, or an established religion. Heterodox can also describe a person or group that holds unorthodox opinions or doctrines. // The two new faculty members' heterodox approach to teaching science initially met with some resistance from their peers. See the entry > Examples: “The result is what researchers call the ‘spiral of silence' (Noelle-Neumann, 1974), which describes the process by which dissenters go quiet, fearing social backlash; this, in turn, makes other dissenters feel even more alone, producing a false consensus that further suppresses dissent. The group appears unanimous, and everyone with a heterodox view assumes they're the only one.” — The Open Therapy Institute, Psychology Today, 22 June 2026 Did you know? Hot take: individuals often see other people's ideas as unconventional while regarding their own as common sense. On second thought, this take may be more on the mild side—in other words, closer to orthodox (“conventional”) insight about human nature than to heterodox (“unconventional” or “contrary”) opinion. Both orthodox and heterodox developed from the same root, the Greek doxa, meaning “opinion.” Heterodox combines doxa with heter-, a combining form meaning “other” or “different”; orthodox pairs doxa with orth-, meaning “correct” or “straight.”

I want to take you inside my favorite yoga studio in Santa Barbara. It's called Yoga Soup, and it's a giant, grounding mix of movement, actual nutrient-dense soup in a crockpot, fresh fruit from local trees, and community.My husband Rob and I practice there a few times a week, and one of our favorite instructors—who is also a middle school English teacher—starts every class by reading a poem. She weaves its themes throughout our practice and reads it again at the end.Now, I'll be honest with you: these classes are often equal parts healing and deeply unsettling for me. Why? Because I'm in there without a notebook or phone, frantically trying to memorize brilliant lines so I don't lose them!A few weeks ago, she read a poem by Mary Oliver called “Today” from her 2012 collection A Thousand Mornings. One line hit me like a bolt of lightning:“Today I'm flying low, and I'm not saying a word. / I'm letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep.”I spent the rest of the class scrambling to hold onto that concept because the “voodoos of ambition” are my constant companions. They're the noisy, bossy, pushy engine behind everything I make, write, and build. They drive the desire to “play big.” And if you're listening to this podcast, I bet your voodoos are pretty loud, too.But as I wrestled with Mary Oliver's words, a new thought took root: What would happen if we actually let those voodoos take a day off?In this Write Big session, I'm reflecting on:* The double-edged sword of high ambition and why we need energy to drive big work.* Why scrambling to capture every thought is just another “voodoo” in disguise.* How giving your ambition a rest—letting it sink into child's pose—is actually what allows it to wake up re-energized and full of life.Writing big requires big energy, but it also requires rest. This week, I'm offering you a permission slip to fly low, be quiet as a feather, and let your ambition sleep for a little while.Until next time, stop playing small and write like it matters!#AmWriting is a reader-supported publication.

This is a Write Big session, where I'm bringing you short episodes about the mindset shifts that help you stop playing small and write like it matters.Today, I'm talking about ambition, and specifically I'm talking about some thoughts on the poet Mary Oliver and desire And I want to tell you a story about my yoga studio and a particular yoga teacher that I adore. So my yoga studio in Santa Barbara, California, is called Yoga Soup, and what its name implies is that there's all different kinds of things that happen in this space.There's all different kinds of yoga and all different kinds of teachers. It's a giant mix of different kinds of ways of doing yoga, and [00:01:00] there's also actual soup. In the front room of the studio, there are couches and a coffee table and benches, and there's a Crockpot of soup. It's made by a local soup kitchen that makes just killer local nutrient-dense soup.And oftentimes there's bread from the local bakery, and you can put $5 or $10 in the tip jar and sit down and have a bowl of warm soup, even on a warm day, which we often have here in Santa Barbara. There also tends to be bowls of things from the farmers market or from people's trees. So there might be oranges or carrots or strawberries or something there that you can have.And one of my practices is I love to come out of yoga class and sit down and have a carrot. It always makes me feel rooted in a very specific and physical way and grounded. So that's the vibe of my yoga studio. And I practice yoga with my husband. It's a thing that we do together, that we love to do together, and we try to do two or [00:02:00] three times a week.Rob actually goes to yoga more than I do, and he is really good at it, and he's really strong. And I know we're not supposed to compare, but I do. But regardless, I love going with him and practicing alongside of him. And one of our favorite teachers is also a middle school English teacher. And at the start of every one of her yoga classes, she reads a poem, and then she weaves the lessons of that poem throughout the yoga practice.So while you're doing a pose or transitioning from one pose to another, or in your resting pose, she'll talk about words or phrases or ideas from the poem, and then she usually reads it again at the end. And I, of course, love this so much because words and poems and weaving them all into movement, it just feels so healing and powerful, and I just adore it.And I'm not alone. Her classes are always packed with all different kinds of people, and you have to get there early, and you have to bring your patience [00:03:00] because there's so many people clamoring for this specific kind of experience. But oftentimes this class is also really hard for me because the teacher will say something in the middle that I wanna remember, and I'm in there without paper and I'm without my phone, and I feel sort of quite naked ‘cause I'm like, “I gotta write this down.I gotta remember what she said,” because I'm not trusting that she'll remember what she said if I went up to her after class and said, “What was it that you said about that thing?” And I'm not sure that I will remember correctly. And so I kind of spend the whole class in this panic about remembering whatever it was that she said.I certainly am not gonna not try to remember. That's just not in my DNA. So I often have somewhat unsettling experiences in this class as well. And a few weeks ago, the instructor shared a Mary Oliver poem, and I happen to know that Mary Oliver is one of her favorite poets. She often [00:04:00] reads things from her.And I've read a lot of Mary Oliver, and I recognize a lot of the poems. But on this one day, this poem that she read, I had never heard of, and I couldn't believe I'd never heard of it because it just blew my mind. I found out after class, my Googling told me that this poem is from the book A Thousand Mornings, which was published in 2012, and the poem is called Today Today I'm flying low, and I'm not saying a word.I'm letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep. The world goes on as it must, the bees in the garden rumbling a little, the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten, and so forth. But I'm taking the day off, quiet as a feather. I hardly move, though really I'm traveling a terrific distance. Stillness, one of the doors into the temple.So there I am in yoga, scrambling to remember the line, letting all the voodoosof ambition sleep. Because that [00:05:00] line, that concept, I was just like, “What? The voodoos?” I mean, trying to remember the line of a poem while doing yoga is one of those voodoos. The voodoos of ambition are all up in my brain, and they're all over my body and my gut.They just are my constant companion. And the second I heard that line, I was like, “Ugh, yes, I love the voodoos of ambition.” They're what drive me and propel me and keep me coming up with ideas and things I wanna write and make and do. They are what is the engine of writing big and playing big. And there's so much that I wanna make and write and do in the world.And I feel like the voodoos of ambition get it. They're dancing, and they're cheering and propelling me on. But of course, I also find them hard to deal with because you know, the voodoos are so noisy. They're so bossy. They're so pushy and voodooy. And as soon as I heard that [00:06:00] poem, and as soon as I got home and studied it and looked at it again, I thought, “Gosh, what would it be like to not say a word and let the voodoos of ambition sleep?”I don't know, and I don't know if I want to know. Flying low is not my natural way of being in the world. And when I thought about it, though, I thought, “You know, I bet those voodoos get tired.” And I imagine that they would love some time off, and that that would be for them like time to do yoga and lay down in child's pose and just feel the support of the earth.And when I imagined that, I imagined that that sleep would make those voodoos feel full of energy and alive when they got up to do their work again. And so I thought, “Okay, I'm gonna practice this, that tomorrow maybe I'll just take a day off and try to be quiet as a feather.” And my reflection for you this week is to remember that writing [00:07:00] big, playing big, trying to do big things in the world absolutely requires some big energy and some up energy, and it requires some voodoos of ambition for sure.But there's also a place in this work of letting those voodoos have a little rest and letting them re-energize and letting them come back to life when they're ready. I thought it was a good thing for us all just to remember. Until next time, stop playing small and write like it matters.The hashtag amwriting podcast is produced by Andrew Perilla.

Exactly! That's exactly what I mean. What exactly happened? Where exactly are we meeting? Not exactly. Exactly is a very common word in everyday English, and we use it in several useful ways. Sometimes it shows strong agreement. Sometimes it makes a question more precise. Sometimes it means something is completely correct. And not exactly is a very natural way to soften a correction. Have you wondered about the different ways we use exactly? If so, you're in luck - because today, we're going to look at how you can use exactly naturally in everyday English.The Happy English PodcastHelping people speak English better since 2014Over 1,000 episodes • 8 million downloads

At 14 years old, Chef Diego Garcia left his family in Mexico and returned to New York alone. He barely spoke English. He wasn't going to school. He worked wherever he could, and for a period of time, he had nowhere to live. Diego slept in the New York City subway, cleaned himself up in restaurant bathrooms and helped people carry groceries while trying to save enough money to rent a room. His parents back in Mexico had no idea. But Diego's story didn't begin there. Growing up in Puebla, he worked alongside his family in street markets, unloaded trucks filled with produce and learned to slaughter goats and prepare barbacoa with his father and grandfather. Food wasn't a career yet. It was simply part of life. New York changed that. Restaurants became Diego's education. He learned English by reading newspapers on the train and learned his craft inside kitchens. French technique, Italian cooking, sustainable seafood and years of working alongside chefs from different cultures eventually gave him a language of his own. The road wasn't clean. As a teenager in Florida, Diego found himself selling drugs, stealing cars and dangerously close to a future he knew he didn't want. He left, returned to New York and made a decision that would alter the direction of his life: he was going all in on cooking. Today, Diego is approaching 200 events through his own private-chef business while working toward his ultimate goal of opening a restaurant built around seafood, Mexican heritage and the many cultures and techniques that shaped him along the way. But this conversation goes much deeper than food. Diego talks about homelessness, poverty, pride, family violence, bad decisions, abusive kitchen culture, leadership, fatherhood, healing from childhood trauma and finally learning to be proud of himself. For years, he was trying to make his parents proud. Only recently did he realize there was someone else he needed to make proud too. Himself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Survival came before ambition. At 14, Diego returned to the United States alone because he believed staying in Mexico offered him little opportunity for education or a future. When homelessness followed, he focused on getting through one day at a time. Food was part of his life long before it became a profession. Growing up in Puebla meant markets, produce, livestock and barbacoa. By 11 or 12, he was already helping his father and grandfather process goats and cook them using techniques passed through his family. Restaurants became his classroom. Without culinary school and with limited English, Diego learned inside kitchens while teaching himself English through newspapers, books, music and everyday conversation. His path could have gone very differently. As a teenager in South Florida, Diego became involved with drugs, stolen cars and other illegal activity. Recognizing where that road could lead, he left Florida, cut ties with that life and returned to New York. Cooking became the alternative. Returning to professional kitchens gave Diego a direction. What began as survival became a deliberate pursuit of culinary knowledge and eventually a career. He learned leadership from good kitchens and bad ones. Diego experienced yelling, humiliation, racism and physical mistreatment in kitchens. Rather than repeating it when he became a leader, he decided to pay closer attention to what the people working for him might be going through. His cooking reflects more than one home. Mexico remains central to Diego's identity, but New York is part of him too. French, Italian, Nordic, Asian and seafood-driven influences have become tools he uses to express his Mexican heritage rather than replace it. His restaurant vision is rooted in honesty. Diego ultimately wants a seafood-driven marisquería built around fresh ingredients, Mexican roots and genuine hospitality. His goal isn't to tell guests how impressed they should be. He wants them to leave genuinely satisfied. Success has become personal. For much of his life, Diego measured himself against whether his parents would be proud of him. Seeing his mother's reaction to his recent television appearance helped him recognize something he had rarely allowed himself to feel:   The Companies Helping Shape Hospitality Metro Foodservice Solutions - Commercial-grade storage, transport, and workflow systems that help professional kitchens operate efficiently.

What if the life you're living in now isn't the life you're meant to stay in?What if you could start writing a new chapter today?In this unforgettable conversation, Mel sits down with one of her favorite authors, John Grisham, whose books have sold nearly half a billion copies worldwide.But this isn't a typical interview about having a legendary career. This is a deeply personal conversation about reinvention, rejection, purpose, and the “golden moments” that change the entire direction of your life.35 years ago, Mel was starting her first year of law school when she picked up John Grisham's The Firm, and it opened up a whole new world of possibilities for her life.John would call that a “golden moment”. A moment that becomes the catalyst for a whole new chapter of your life. You are going to hear why that moment was so special for Mel as well as John sharing his own “golden moments.” He tells the story behind his own unexpected path: failing English, drifting through college, practicing law, and being rejected as a writer over and over again before writing the book that changed his life forever.You'll learn:-How to stop treating rejection as proof that you should quit-Why your current path is not your final path-What to do when you feel trapped in a job, career, or identity that no longer fits-Why “one page a day” is a powerful strategy for changing your life-How to create space for a dream, even when your life is busy-What to do when you feel like you're drifting and don't know your next move-How to recognize the “golden moments” that can change the direction of your life-Why discipline and consistency matter more than waiting to feel inspired-How to use the stories, setbacks, and detours in your life as material for reinvention-Why it's never too late to start writing your next chapterThis episode is for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or unsure what comes next. Because your current path is not your final path, and as John Grisham proves, there is always more of your story left to write.

Misha Glenny delves in to the In Our Time archive to select ten episodes for listeners to revisit. His ninth choice is the episode on Jane Austen's novel Emma, first released in November 2015. Austen described her leading character as "a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like."

This followed Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813) and Mansfield Park (1814), with her brother Henry handling publication of Northanger Abbey and Persuasion (1817).WithJanet Todd Professor Emerita of Literature, University of Aberdeen and Honorary Fellow of Newnham College, CambridgeJohn Mullan Professor of English at University College, LondonAndEmma Clery Professor of English at the University of Southampton.Producer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Marilyn Butler, Jane Austen and the War of Ideas (first published 1975; Oxford University Press, 1988)Edward Copeland and Juliet McMaster (eds.), The Cambridge Companion to Jane Austen (Cambridge University Press, 2010)Richard Jenkyns, A Fine Brush on Ivory: An Appreciation of Jane Austen (Oxford University Press, 2004)Claudia Johnson, Jane Austen: Women, Politics and the Novel (University of Chicago Press, 1988)Peter Knox-Shaw, Jane Austen and the Enlightenment (Cambridge University Press, 2004)David Monaghan (ed.), Emma (New Casebook Series, Palgrave Macmillan, 1992)Anthony Mandal, Jane Austen and the Popular Novel (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007)John Mullan, What Matters in Jane Austen?: Twenty Crucial Puzzles Solved (Bloomsbury, 2012)Bharat Tandon, Jane Austen and the Morality of Conversation (Anthem, 2003)Tony Tanner, Jane Austen (first published 1986; Palgrave Macmillan, 2007)Janet Todd, The Cambridge Introduction to Jane Austen (Cambridge University Press, 2015)John Wiltshire, The Hidden Jane Austen (Cambridge University Press, 2014)John Wiltshire, Jane Austen and the Body (Cambridge University Press, 1992)In Our Time is a BBC Studios productionSpanning history, religion, culture, science and philosophy, In Our Time from BBC Radio 4 is essential listening for the intellectually curious.

Succubus visits run from the days of a future pope and his secret lover, Meridiana, to a Bakersfield, California, bedroom recently, where a young man says something held him down and laughed at him. What are sex demons? And could your girlfriend be one?EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/SexDemonsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/bdzak2yvFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Succubi are female-appearing sexual demons that approach men in a variety of ways, usually while they are sleeping, then seduce them. Often men report that their experiences with succubi are positive and enjoyable, but just as often, they report that the pleasure had a thread of something evil running through it… and that thread leads to utter destruction. (The Deadly Allure of the Succubus) *** And the woman you are living with right now – your own wife or girlfriend – is it possible she is a succubus? We'll look a bit deeper into the signs of a succubus so you can be aware and on alert! (Is My Girlfriend a Sex Demon?) *** In recent years, stories of personal encounters with shadow people have flooded the Internet. So much so, that a subcategory of Reddit was created solely for those who have experienced a shadow person and wish to share their story. We'll share some of those reports. (Real Life Encounters With Shadow People) *** Many towns have tales of an old woman who might be a witch of some kind. Warrington, England had its own local, evil crone. She was known as Old Peggy Gronach and was described as being “evil, ugly and haggard.” But was she truly a witch? Many people thought so!

The accounts carry on through French novelist J.K. Huysmans waking in a monastery cell, a young man in Bakersfield, California, held down in his bed in December 2012 by something that laughed and cried out, "Soon!", and an anonymous man who says he prayed to Lilith for a succubus and got one.Next comes a checklist for men who suspect the woman they're living with is a succubus, from a girlfriend with no family at all to friends who can't explain why they hate her and the drained feeling that follows their nights together.The episode closes in Warrington, England, in the 1600s, where a woman known as Old Peggy Gronach settled at a ruined farm after slipping away from witch-hunters in Norwich, and children who crept up to her cottage saw a hair-covered creature with red eyes and horns at the window just before Peggy came screaming out the front door. Years later, rumor had it that a skeleton with the body of a four-legged animal and a human skull had turned up half-buried in a field nearby.

As I've often said, I love doing Patreon-sponsored episodes in part because they allow me to discover music I might never have encountered otherwise. Today's episode is one of those, because the truth is that before I made it, I had heard of Finzi, but that was about it. I knew nothing about the circumstances of his life or his music, and while I knew this was a hole in my musical knowledge, I hadn't had time to fill it. Well, thanks to Jillian, I got the time to explore this wonderful 20th-century composer's works, and now I'm ready to tell you about him, since I imagine his is an unfamiliar name to many of you listening. Gerald Finzi was a terrific composer and a fascinating figure in 20th-century music. He struck out on his own path, refusing to follow the trends of the time, and as a result his music has a special, unique quality: a bit more modest than that of someone trying to change the world, like Schoenberg, but nonetheless deeply human and often inspired by literary interests. Finzi was interested in much more than music, and amassed a library of over 3,000 volumes of English poetry, philosophy, and literature, much of which ended up appearing in his music. This powerful marriage of poetry and music produced Finzi's strongest and most enduring works. Since Jillian left it up to me which of his works to tell you about today, I decided to lean into his love of English poetry and take a detailed look at a piece many consider his masterpiece: Dies Natalis, which translates to "Day of Birth," a work for solo voice and string orchestra. The piece is set to the poetry of the 17th-century English Metaphysical poet and priest Thomas Traherne, and explores innocence, from the first moments a baby enters the world to the tarnishing of that innocence as the child grows older. This was a topic Finzi knew all too well, having lost all three of his brothers during his early years. The piece is a profound yet tender meditation on the joys and sufferings of new life, and I can't wait to share it with you today.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 1, 2026 is: slew • SLOO • noun Slew is an informal word for a large number of people or things. // The pile of junk mail included a slew of catalogs. See the entry > Examples: “The nonalcoholic drinks category has expanded so much in recent years that it's not uncommon to find a list of thoughtful, complex nonalcoholic beverages on a bar or restaurant's cocktail menu—yes, even outside of the major cities. And it's even easier to enjoy alcohol-free beverages at home thanks to a slew of brands making really good alcohol alternatives that you can order online and have delivered directly to your door.” — Carina Finn and Emily Farris, Bon Appétit, 31 Dec. 2025 Did you know? Slew appeared as an American colloquialism in the early 19th century. Its origins are unclear, but it may have come from the Irish word slua, a descendant of slúag, an Old Irish word meaning “army,” “host,” or “throng.” Indeed, the earliest known uses of slew appear in a martial context, from a historical novel by Daniel Pierce Thompson about Vermont and the Green Mountain Boys, a militia organized in Vermont during the American Revolution. In one scene, one of the Boys tells leader Ethan Allen that “there's more than a hundred slew of men coming!” Later, British General Burgoyne is said to have “drawn up a whole slew of cannon.” But despite this early military setting, slew is not limited to troops or artillery; a slew of data shows the word describing nearly anything existing in abundance.

Last Word On Spurs returns with Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Martin Lipton for a packed discussion on the latest developments surrounding Spurs.We begin with the seismic news that Manchester City have been found guilty of serious breaches of the Premier League's financial rules over a nine-season period. With the findings potentially having significant implications for the competition during the years in which City dominated English football, we ask the question: do Tottenham have any legitimate claim to have been denied trophies, opportunities or sporting success as a result? And, if so, what could Spurs realistically expect to happen now? The Premier League has confirmed that the question of sanctions remains to be decided, with City also having the right to appeal the findings.We then turn our attention to Roberto De Zerbi's start to the season with Spurs. With results failing to meet expectations, is the Italian already under pressure to deliver, or does he need time to implement his ideas and build a team in his own image? We discuss the expectations surrounding De Zerbi and what constitutes a realistic timeline for improvement.There is also concern over Jan Paul Van Hecke after the Tottenham defender picked up a knock while away on international duty with the Netherlands. We assess the potential implications for Spurs as we await further news on the extent of the injury.Finally, we take a wider look at Tottenham's realistic ambitions for the season. With Spurs currently bottom of the Premier League table, already out of the Carabao Cup and with significant work still required to improve results both home and away, what can supporters realistically expect from the campaign from this point forward?

Thanks to Hayley Smith for sponsoring this episode! The prebendal residence at Whitminster stands in the shadow of its great collegiate church, solid, respectable, and comfortable. A young Irish lord came to lodge there once, in the 1730s, and his guardian noted his odd habits with mild concern. He grew more concerned as time went on. By the time he understood what the boy had been doing in the garden at night, it was already too late. M. R. James tells this story the way a scholar reconstructs a cold case: from letters, diaries, servant's gossip, and family memory preserved at two removes. The witnesses contradict each other. The documents are partial. The truth, such as it is, arrives a century late. There is a glass that has absorbed what it once witnessed and will show it again, to the right viewer. There is a room that was sealed for reasons only partially explained. There is a press that has not been opened, and a note from a long-dead man advising that it should stay that way. "The Residence at Whitminster" was first published in 1919 as the lead story of A Thin Ghost and Others, James's third collection, published by Edward Arnold. The collection takes its title from a line within this story. Montague Rhodes James (1862–1936) was a medieval scholar, palaeographer, and Provost first of King's College Cambridge and then of Eton College. He is widely regarded as the finest writer of ghost stories in the English language.

"Atonement" is a 2026 American drama film, written, produced, and directed by Reed Van Dyk in his directorial debut, based on the 2012 New Yorker article "Atonement" by Dexter Filkins. It stars Boyd Holbrook as a U.S. Marine who accidentally kills three members of a family during a firefight in Baghdad, Iraq. Haunted by memories of war and racked with guilt, he tries to reconcile with the family matriarch, played by Hiam Abbass, years later, with help from English journalist Michael Reid (Kenneth Branagh). The film had its world premiere at the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Caméra d'Or and received positive reviews for its writing and performances. Van Dyk, Abbass, and Holbrook were all kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters on October 2nd by Kino Lorber.

What can Bible translations from around the world teach us about Scripture that we might miss in English? In this episode of The Biblical Mind, Dru Johnson talks with Bible translation scholar Dr. Jost Zetzsche about the power of language, translation, and the global Christian community.Zetzsche introduces Translation Insights and Perspectives (TIPs), a free online resource that allows pastors, students, and Bible readers to explore how biblical passages have been translated into hundreds of languages. Rather than treating translation as a necessary compromise, the conversation explores how different languages can reveal unique perspectives on biblical words, concepts, grammar, and meaning.The discussion examines why the Bible is “made to be translated,” how cultural context shapes language, and what sign-language translations can reveal about Jesus and biblical characters. They also explore fascinating examples involving forgiveness, pronouns, John the Baptist, and the meaning of logos in John 1:1.The episode also considers how global Bible translations challenge the assumption that there is always one simple interpretation of a biblical passage, while still affirming that interpretation is grounded in the biblical text. Ultimately, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on Bible translation, biblical interpretation, language, theology, and the global church.Helpful resources:CT article about sign languages https://www.christianitytoday.com/2025/01/sign-language-bible-translations-matthew-15-mark-2/ TIPs - Johns the Baptist: https://tips.translation.bible/tip_verse/matt-412/TIPs - current lectionary illustrations: https://tips.translation.bible/lectionary/current/We are listener supported.

Are construction leaders investing in AI because it solves meaningful business problems or because everyone is suddenly selling them something with "AI" attached to it?   AI is creating real opportunities for construction leaders to save time, improve productivity, and focus on higher-value work. At the same time, the surge of investment and attention around AI has created plenty of hype.   In this episode, Bradley Hartmann revisits Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Startup Bubble by Dan Lyons and pulls out lessons from the venture-backed startup world that feel remarkably relevant today.   Through Lyons' experience inside HubSpot, Bradley explores what happens when growth, valuations, marketing, and storytelling begin to overshadow business fundamentals. He also connects those lessons to what construction leaders are seeing today with AI tools, AI-powered takeoffs, and the massive investment flowing into data centers.   As more AI solutions enter the construction industry, leaders need a practical way to determine which ones deserve their attention.   In this episode, you'll discover: ·       How Disrupted reveals the forces that can drive hype around fast-growing technologies and companies. ·       What construction leaders can learn from previous technology booms as investment continues pouring into AI and data centers. ·       The question Bradley recommends asking whenever someone pitches you an AI solution: "What problem does this solve for me today?"   Play the episode to gain a sharper perspective on the AI boom and make more informed decisions about which technologies can create meaningful value for your construction business.   At Bradley Hartmann & Company, we help construction teams improve sales, leadership,  and communication by reducing miscommunication, strengthening teamwork, and bridging language gaps between English and Spanish speakers.
