A wolf-dog in a chicken yard isn't just a scene from Jack London; it's a snapshot of our mornings when impulse shows up early and loud. We opened with White Fang's raid and the hard reset that followed, where Whedon Scott's steady voice became stronger than instinct. That picture let us unpack a practical path from desire to discernment: how repeated listening forms new reflexes, and how obedience feels less like a leash and more like a reliable map when distractions strut across our day.Across the conversation, we keep it grounded and actionable. We talk about building a small habit loop—hear, pause, respond, repeat—that trains the heart to prefer what is good over what is flashy. The aim isn't to erase desire; it's to redirect it toward a better yes. Like White Fang, we may still feel the lunge, yet we can learn to stand down because a trusted voice calls us higher. If you're looking for a five‑minute reset that brings clarity, calm, and a clear next step, this one's for you.If this resonated, subscribe for weekday boosts, share it with a friend who's wrestling with distractions, and leave a quick review to help others start right with us.We would love to hear your comments.

He sounds the alarm about the ongoing insurgency funded by domestic and foreign actors. He warns that unless these forces are curbed, America's future is at stake.

EPISODE 125 - “VIRGINIA MAYO: CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD STAR OF THE MONTH” - 2/02/2026 One of the most glamorous actresses in old Hollywood undoubtedly was VIRGINIA MAYO. This peaches-and-cream, midwestern beauty started her career wrangling two men in a horse costume on stage before being discovered by producer SAMUEL GOLDWYN and transformed into a full-blown movie star. Often playing the fantasy girl to leading men like BOB HOPE and DANNY KAYE, her beauty sometimes made people miss the fact that she was a very capable actress — particularly when she played bad girls in films like “The Best Years of Our Lives” and “White Heat.” She was very adept at light comedy, romance films, and drama, appearing in over 50 feature films and many television shows throughout her career. And tune in to find out about Steve's connection to this old Hollywood glamour girl as we celebrate Mayo as our February Star of the Month.

Of course, so is the material! Everyone from Ray Bradbury to HG Wells to Lovecraft to Asimov to Jack London and on and on...

In 1894 Jacob Coxey decided to take thousands of unemployed and March on Washington. Well, that was just the prequel to 1964 March for Civil Rights. But it's how A. Philip Randolph was indoctrinated to the idea. And crazily this store involves both Mark Twain and Jack London, in addition to Pullman Porters, the Ferris Wheel, Eugene V Debs, the May Day Riots, Frederick Douglass, and even the Statue of Liberty.

Wie der "Seewolf" seine Matrosen brutal peinigte, beschrieb Jack London in authentischen Worten. Denn er verdichtete in seinen Romanen immer auch persönlich Erlebtes. Der Schriftsteller stammte aus ärmlichen Verhältnissen und wurde weltberühmt. Blees, Christian www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Lange Nacht

Je viens de vous lire un extrait de Martin Eden, le roman sans doute le plus autobiographique de Jack London. Et non, promis, je n'ai pas perdu la boule, restez encore un peu et vous allez comprendre.J'ai rarement autant corné un ouvrage tant il parle de beauté. Et j'ai retenu ce passage pour Parlons B.L'idée d'ouvrir mon podcast au Beau, avec un grand B, n'est plus une nouveauté si vous avez écouté les derniers épisodes. Alors voilà : en ces premiers jours de 2026, j'élargis le spectre d'analyse et de rencontres de Parlons B. Il y sera toujours question de beauté cosmétique, évidemment, mais aussi de toutes ces autres choses que je trouve belles et qui me remplissent le cœur. À la différence de Martin, j'ignore si la beauté s'explique vraiment, tant elle est vaste, mouvante, et profondément personnelle. Mais mon besoin d'aller au fond des choses, de comprendre ce qui fait sens, trouvera ici, je l'espère, quelques réponses. En attendant de tourner de nouveaux épisodes, je tenais à partager ceux que j'avais réalisés pour mon deuxième podcast, Vous avez un MP, et qui étaient, sans que je le sache alors, les prémices de cette quête plus large du beau.Je vous sais curieux et curieuse alors j'ai bon espoir que vous resterez dans le coin. Parlons B. Entame sa sixième année en auto production cela veut dire que je fais tout ou presque seule en plus de mon travail. Mon rêve le plus grand est de pouvoir me consacrer davantage pour ne pas dire pleinement à mon podcast. Pour cela, je suis en train d'envisager la façon la plus saine et la plus intelligente possible pour me rémunérer de ce travail et permettre ainsi à parlons B. De perdurer. Je suis donc ouverte à vos conseils, vos propositions évidemment et vous tiendrez informé de l'avancée de mes réflexions. Ma boussole reste et restera l'envie d'informer bien et en transparence. Je ne ferai rien qui pourra nuire à la qualité de ce podcast. En attendant, je vous souhaite une belle et douce nouvelle année. A très vite.--Venez écouter, apprendre et éveiller votre conscience aussi sur notre compte Instagram : @parlonsbpodcastInterview, prise de son et montage réalisés par Nolyne Cerda.Le jingle est une création originale de Julien R.Les extraits audio sont dans l'ordre : l'artiste Agnes Martin lors d'une interview, un bout de poème de Marguerite Yourcenar énoncé par Jean d'Ormesson, Simone Veil défaisant son chignon sur le plateau "Toutes Folles de Lui" de Christophe Dechavanne et le poète Christophe Bobin dans l'émission "La Grande Librairie".

In dieser Folge von „Mein Abenteuer“ begrüßt Reiner Meutsch einen Mann, der die Welt nicht nur bereist, sondern sie bis an ihre Grenzen erlebt hat: Jochen Barnack aus Wiesbaden. Über 100 Länder hat der Globetrotter erkundet – per Anhalter, auf abenteuerlichen Routen und oft fernab jeder Komfortzone. Jochen erzählt von prägenden Kindheitsabenteuern mit Karl May und Jack London, von seiner ersten Tramptour nach England – und von Reisen, die lebensgefährlich wurden. Er berichtet von einer nächtlichen Flucht in den Bergen Afghanistans, von einem geheimen Diamantencamp im venezolanischen Dschungel, von einem Schiffsunglück in Südostasien und von einem tragischen Überfall in Kenia, bei dem ein Mitreisender erschossen wurde. Doch diese Episode ist mehr als eine Aneinanderreihung extremer Erlebnisse. Es geht um Angst, Mut, Grenzerfahrungen und darum, wie Abenteuer einen Menschen verändern. Offen, reflektiert und eindrucksvoll schildert Jochen Barnack, was es heißt, sich der Welt wirklich auszusetzen – und was davon bleibt. Eine packende Folge voller Fernweh, Spannung und bewegender Momente – Geschichten, bei denen die Welt den Atem anhält.
• Literatur • In der Todeszelle von San Quentin erwartet Professor Standing das Ende. Gefoltert und in eine Zwangsjacke gezwängt, entfaltet er eine mystische Fähigkeit: sein Geist entgleitet dem Körper und reist durch Raum und Zeit. Von Jack London www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Hörspiel
For your entertainment, and with a nod to the onset of winter, Mic, Brian, and Jeff have each watched a movie about winter survival (or not) or a post-apocalyptic Ice Age Doom. They share what the movies are about (with spoilers) and use them as springboards to some winter advice you can use now -- before any new Ice Age hits. The Movie Links: (all free on YouTube) The Colony (2013) — After some geoengineering either failed to fix, or caused a new Ice Age, survivors are holed up in scattered underground 'colonies'. When Colony 5 gets a distress call from Colony 7, the trouble turns out to be worse than anyone imagined. To Build A Fire (1969) An adaptation of Jack London's 1908 tale of a naive man in the Yukon who opts to walk to his friends' camp during -75°F cold. He eventually gets too cold to make a fire. (spoiler alert: the dog lives) Quintet (1979) Paul Neuman stars in an obscure story about a post-apocalyptic world that is slowly freezing to death. The survivors, "the city," pass the time playing a board game called Quintet. The losers are killed.

Nicola Magrin"Dall'erba dei campi alle stelle del cielo"Rabindranath TagoreSalani Editorewww.salani.it«'Leggo Rabindranath ogni giorno; leggere un suo verso significa dimenticare tutti i tormenti del mondo'».W.B. YeatsIspirato da uno dei poeti più luminosi e complessi del Novecento, Nicola Magrin con i suoi dipinti traccia un itinerario poetico fra luce e silenzio, panorami e costellazioni, disegnando versi che appartengono all'umanità intera. Perché leggere Tagore significa intrecciare la saggezza delle tradizioni orientali con una sensibilità universale, entrare in un tessuto di poesia che è canto, preghiera e meraviglia insieme, celebrare l'amore, la natura, il dialogo, il mistero della vita, la sacralità dell'esistenza quotidiana, l'anelito verso l'eternità del tempo e dell'universo attorno a noi. E scoprire come la sua voce riesca ancora oggi a parlare all'uomo contemporaneo con limpidezza e intensità. Un invito alla contemplazione e alla meraviglia, rivolto a chi cerca nella poesia non solo bellezza, ma anche pace e verità.«Lo vediamo vagabondare tra gli alberi, osservare gli occhi fedeli di un cane, come le stagioni dei temporali e dei cieli infiniti dell'India, che lo portano all'ispirazione che è poi l'esistenza vera del poeta, seguendo lo Spirito della fioritura che tutto governa, dalle rotazioni delle stelle, agli amori e ai dolori, all'immensa Energia che pervade l'universo».Dall'introduzione di Brunilde NeroniRabindranath Tagore è stato il poeta e filosofo indiano che ha fatto conoscere e apprezzare in Occidente la grande spiritualità del suo Paese. Nato nel 1861 da una famiglia nobile, a sedici anni fu inviato a studiare in Inghilterra, dove rimase tre anni. Già famosissimo in India, la sua notorietà si diffuse in Europa nel 1913, quando pubblicò, tradotte in inglese da lui stesso, le due raccolte di versi Gitanjali e Il Giardiniere. Subito apprezzato dai grandi poeti come W. B. Yeats e Ezra Pound, fu insignito in quello stesso anno del premio Nobel per la letteratura. Morì nel 1941.Nicola Magrin è nato a Milano nel 1978. Ha illustrato, tra le altre cose, l'opera di Primo Levi (Einaudi), Le otto montagne di Paolo Cognetti (Einaudi), Il silenzio di Erling Kagge (Einaudi), Alpi ribelli di Enrico Camanni (Editori Laterza), Le antiche vie di Robert Macfarlane (Einaudi) e i volumi di Tiziano Terzani (Tea). Ha illustrato il libro di Folco Terzani Il Cane, il Lupo e Dio (Longanesi 2017). Nel 2018 il Centro Saint-Bénin di Aosta ospita la sua mostra personale La traccia del racconto (catalogo Silvana Editoriale). Per i grandi classici ha illustrato Il richiamo della foresta di Jack London nella traduzione di Gianni Celati (Nuages). Nel 2019 illustra il libro di Federico Rampini, L'oceano di mezzo (Editori Laterza) e la favola scritta da Ester Armanino, Una balena va in montagna (Salani Editore). Nel 2020 il libro Passi silenziosi nel bosco di Hugo Pratt, Nicola Magrin e Marco Steiner (Nuages).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Texas DogmanAfter 25 years in Alaska, where the narrator immersed himself in the rugged wilderness—from the Arctic Pipeline to the Aleutian Islands and gold mines—developing a passion for cryptids, they spent over five years earning the trust of tribal elders. These elders shared ancient encounter stories, histories of elusive creatures, and even passed down a Woolly Rhinoceros tooth from a hunt in the late 1600s or early 1700s. Alaska's extremes brought thrilling wildlife sightings, like cooperative black bears raiding dumps and moose wandering urban streets, evoking Jack London adventures. Seeking warmer climes, the narrator relocated to a lush, open suburb in East Texas—137°F milder than Alaska's winters—only to discover cryptids thriving amid the greenery and barking dogs that suddenly fall silent at night. One afternoon, after a doctor's visit in a one-story office complex, their service Jack Russell Terrier grew agitated, pulling on the leash before freezing and trembling violently. As the narrator knelt to comfort the shaking dog, an unnatural silence descended—like a shadow blocking sound—accompanied by a foul, inexplicable odor. Remaining still, they waited it out until birds and frogs resumed chirping, and the presence lifted. In the soft mud nearby, a massive footprint appeared: longer and wider than the narrator's size 13 shoe (which barely dented the earth), ending in three deep claw marks from a heavy, narrow foot. Photos sent to Alaskan hunter friends yielded no identification. Locals whisper of similar run-ins with 10- to 12-foot-tall beasts, dubbing this a "Dogman." The narrator teases more harrowing tales for the brave-hearted. A devoted fan of the channel, they praise the host's non-judgmental, enthusiastic narration of such bewildering experiences, plus the joyful glimpses of farm life—chickens, dogs, roosters, and drone views—that brighten their housebound days due to disability. Grateful to have survived, they urge vigilance: always stay alert to live and share your stories.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support
In this episode, we hear from Henry, an English major whose thesis journey took a few unexpected turns: from exploring Pacific Northwest regionalism to diving deep into the world of literary naturalism. Henry unpacks how authors Jack London and Frank Norris challenged historian Frederick Jackson Turner's “frontier myth,” reimagining the American frontier not as a vanished landscape but as an evolving cultural, economic, and imaginative force. Tune in to hear about survival narratives, Social Darwinist ideas, and what happens when you have to scrap half your thesis to start again (spoiler: it's not fun, but it's worth it). Henry reflects on the highs and frustrations of the Reed thesis process, the art of negotiating with an advisor, and the unexpected joy of discovering how to make seemingly unrelated ideas work together. Reed community members can read Henry's thesis, “Naturalist Afterlives of the Frontier Myth” online in the Electronic Thesis Archive: https://rdc.reed.edu/i/917eb624-f94d-453a-9638-4975c6123d5f Explore more interviews with Reed College alumni on our website: reed.edu/burnyourdraft
Kenneth Di Alba from Songbird Parlour is our guest today on Brew Ha Ha with Herlinda Heras and Daedalus Howell. This is his first time on the show. Herlinda says and Daedalus agrees that Songbird Parlour should be the next Michelin starred restaurant in Sonoma County. Daedalus reads from a review he wrote for the Bohemian along with Kary Hess. It sounds delicious. Songbird Parlour is located in the historic Jack London village in Glen Ellen. It was founded in maybe 1832, he thinks. The property has been many things, a creamery, a winery, wine storage, recording studios, even. Now, it is a restaurant for the second time. Upon entering the place, Daedalus says he feels immediately transported. Visit our sponsor PizzaLeah in Windsor for the finest pizza menu, great beers and the most authentic flavors around!

They say dogs can sense death, staring at something just beyond our perception. In “Good Boy,” that instinct becomes the engine for an entire film. Directed by Ben Leonberg and produced by Kari Fischer, the story unfolds entirely from the perspective of a golden retriever named Indy, who seems to be the only one aware that a house carries a sinister presence. What begins as a simple “what if” idea blossoms into a chilling, 73-minute haunted-house thriller told through a dog's eyes.The concept is both ingenious and risky. Leonberg and Fischer spent years refining it, drawing inspiration from Jack London's animal adventures and the horror tradition of films like “Poltergeist.” Without dialogue to rely on, the filmmakers built the narrative through images, sound, and Indy's natural behavior, creating a cinematic language where panting, footsteps, and a thousand-yard stare become the keys to suspense. The result is eerie, playful, and surprisingly emotional, inviting viewers to see a ghost story through the gaze of man's best friend.For Leonberg, the idea had been percolating for over a decade. “I came up with the idea by watching ‘Poltergeist' and thinking, man, somebody should tell a story entirely from the golden retriever's perspective,” he explained. “I worked with a co-writer for years, really trying to crack the story…because we're not using dialogue to tell the story. So how do you have all the narrative plot points that still feel like a story with a beginning, a middle and end and rising tension and conflict?”READ MORE: ‘Play Dirty': Shane Black On Reinventing Parker, Mark Wahlberg Stepping In For Robert Downey Jr. & Much More [The Discourse Podcast]

When I started this podcast more than seven years ago, the primary factor was based on just one fundamental concept: the impact of a good story. For each What Was That Like main episode, you hear a story. The guest is telling the story of what happened. Many of the stories are traumatic, many include loss and grief, and there are those that are happy as well. Even the heavy stories often end on a positive note. But the common factor is that they are all things that actually happened. The guest is talking about an actual thing that they experienced. The story you're about to hear in this episode would fall into the category of fiction. In a recent episode, my guest was David, and he was talking about being in the extremely cold north, and not being able to find a cabin that he knew was nearby. That one is episode 225, called “David couldn't find the cabin”. In that episode, I opened with the first few lines from one of my favorite short stories – To Build A Fire, by Jack London. Reading just that short section made me want to read the full story again. And that's what I'm doing in today's episode. Jack London is my favorite author, and I love this story because he really puts us in the mind of this man, and his thought process, and his range of emotions. So we'll first have a quick break for a couple of sponsors who make the show possible, and then we'll get into this story. Please enjoy this amazing work by Jack London… To Build A Fire.

Aux origines de Belin Dans cet épisode 1 aux origines de Belin, le crooner breton revient sur le « tissage sauvage des fils de son destin », son enfance atlantique dans une baie au parfum de varech parcourue à BMX, sa lignée de pêcheurs, ses disques de Thiéfaine ou son jeu de guitare qui, à 15 ans, déchaînait les passions dans les rades de Quiberon avec un groupe nommé Les Démons. Le sel de son « hypernuit ».Mais comment l'écriture est-elle venue aux yeux et à la bouche de ce transfuge de classe alors que l'appartement familial ne comptait pour tout livre qu'une série d'encyclopédies ? Qu'a-t-il de commun avec le héros du roman « Martin Eden » de Jack London ? Comment ce titulaire d'un BEP-CAP électricien est-il passé d'un quotidien de musicien de studio – pour Bénabar ou Régine – à sa place convoitée de fils fantasmé de Bashung et de Brigitte Fontaine, chouchou de la critique, auquel il ne manque aujourd'hui qu'un succès populaire ? Pour le savoir, prenons le temps, Bertrand.L'auteur du mois : Bertrand BelinNé en 1970 à Auray, Bertrand Belin est musicien, écrivain et acteur, toujours à la recherche « du mot juste, du beau geste ». Depuis vingt ans, du premier album remarqué qui porte son nom (2005) à « Tambour Vision » (2022), sans oublier « Hypernuit » (grand prix de l'académie Charles-Cros en 2010), ce drôle d'oiseau du Morbihan, au timbre grave et envoûtant, « survole nos villes et nos campagnes » avec, sous son aile, de mystérieuses ritournelles. « Que dit-on en chantant que l'on ne saurait dire en parlant simplement ? Pourquoi chanter une chose ? », se demandait-il en 2012 dans son premier livre, un court essai intitulé « Sorties de route ». Bertrand Belin est également l'auteur d'une poignée de brefs romans intrigants aux éditions POL. Il vit à Paris et publiera en octobre 2025 son huitième album solo, « Watt », annoncé comme « tendre, grave et gracieux, avec des divertissements ».

Burning Daylight, Jack London's fictional novel published in 1910, was one of the best selling books of that year and it was his best selling book in his lifetime. The novel takes place in the Yukon Territory in 1893. The main character, nicknamed Burning Daylight was the most successful entrepreneur of the Alaskan Gold Rush. The story of the main character was partially based upon the life of Oakland entrepreneur "Borax" Smith.

My favorite author is Jack London. His style of writing paints a very vivid picture in my mind. As I read his stories, it feels like I'm right there in the middle of it. One of his most well-known works is titled To Build A Fire. This is the opening paragraph of that story. Day had dawned cold and gray when the man turned aside from the main Yukon trail. He climbed the high earth-bank where a little-traveled trail led east through the pine forest. It was a high bank, and he paused to breathe at the top. He excused the act to himself by looking at his watch. It was nine o'clock in the morning. There was no sun or promise of sun, although there was not a cloud in the sky. It was a clear day. However, there seemed to be an indescribable darkness over the face of things. That was because the sun was absent from the sky. This fact did not worry the man. He was not alarmed by the lack of sun. It had been days since he had seen the sun. There's something about the quiet, dark, biting cold of northern Canada that really fascinates me. I've lived in cold climates, but nothing like that. When the outside temperature gets to be well below zero, the constant thought is just what you have to do in order to survive. My guest today is David. He and his partner in this adventure, Scott, dreamed of spending time in those conditions. But what they encountered just in the first few days had them - from one hour to the next – wondering, what else could go wrong?
