Podcast appearances and mentions of Jane Austen

Dmitry Ivanovich Khvostov (1757-1835) might be the worst poet who ever lived. Pathologically prolific and delusional dedicated to a craft for which he had no talent, he continued to write and publish his poetry despite the pleadings of friends, loved ones, critics, and the public. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Ilya Vinitsky and translator James H. McGavran III about their book, The Graphomaniac: A Literary-Historical Discussion of Dmitry Khvostov as a Reprieve from Teaching, the Vanity of Worldly Affairs, and Melancholy Reflections Brought On by the Loss of a Front Tooth, Together with the Current Cultural and Political Situation. PLUS Stephanie Sandler (The Freest Speech in Russia: Poetry Unbound, 1989-2022), an expert in Russia's Golden Age of literature and Russian contemporary poetry, stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read.

We definitely have a hope became reality hangover this morning, but we also have a very fun episode for you today! We're talking romance shorts -- not novellas, not short novels, but actual short stories under 15,000 words (or about 50 pages). We talk about why this is such a difficult goal to hit, about why romance lends itself to longer formats, and about why short fiction is a really great way to keep reading when things feel chaotic.We also chat about Sarah's new short story, a part of the Ladies in Waiting anthology, out this week and providing minor characters from Jane Austen their own happily ever afters. Sarah is joined by romance greats Diana Quincy, Nikki Payne and Eloisa James, among others. Get the collection at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple Books or wherever you get your books. Also, we want to take a moment to send enormous thanks to everyone who donated to the Fated States Giving Circle at The States Project this year — those donations were gamechangers — last night we expanded our majority in the VA House, and secured a Democratic Trifecta in Virginia! As ever, we're so proud to stand and fight with you!If you'd like more romance chat in your life, please consider joining our Patreon, which comes with an extremely busy and fun Discord community! There, magnificent firebirds hang out, talk romance, and be cool together in a private group full of excellent people. Learn more at patreon.com. Our next read along will be KJ Charles's The Magpie Lord. Get it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple Books or wherever you get your books.NotesThe Ladies in Waiting anthology was released this week, and in the anthology, authors wrote HEAs for minor Austen characters. Sarah wrote about Miss Bates from Emma. Sarah has a few short stories: The Bladesmith Queen, a Medieval short available with her newsletter signup; "Fire That Lasts," and a YA short in the Generation Wonder anthology. The duke who has a sheep is in a novella called A Duke Worth Falling For. Sarah asked Threads for recs of romance short stories and that's where many of these...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is one of England's best-loved and most-read authors. This year is the 250th anniversary of her birth in December 1775, and her works are as popular as they ever were. But her own story is far less known than that of her heroines. So we're here today to learn all about Jane Austen. Our guest this week is Paula Byrne, one of the world's leading Jane Austen experts. Paula's new book, Six Weeks by the Sea, is a novel that imagines Jane Austen in love herself. Buy a copy of Paula's new novel Six Weeks By The Sea (affiliate link).

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen chapter 9, narrated by Isaac BirchallSubscribe on YT or Join the Book Club on Patreon and support me as an independent creator :Dhttps://ko-fi.com/theessentialreadshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOFfvo05ElM96CmfsGsu3g/joinSummary:The Dashwood women are now fully settled in Barton. Sir John Middleton called on them every day for the first fortnight and urged them to mix with the people in the area. The girls go on many walks and have fallen in love with the country about them. One morning, Margret and Marianne, in spite of the rain, go on a walk together on the hills. Though the clouds were originally keeping away from their path, they soon closed in on top of them and showered their heads. The girls decided to run back to the cottage, but Marianne tripped and fell down the hill. A gentleman was walking nearby and came to her assistance and carried her down the hill to Barton cottage. The man exchanged some polite pleasantries with the family and then left. In the afternoon, Sir John Middleton came by, and the girls flooded him with questions about the handsome stranger, called Willoughby. Sir John seemed to be shocked that he was in the area but went on to explain that no better man existed, and after mentioning that he danced all night at a ball held last year, Marianne became attached. SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.

Costume designer Mona May joins Paris Chong to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the iconic film "Clueless." Mona shares insights into her creative process for the movie's memorable fashion, including Alicia Silverstone's 63 costume changes, and how the script, based on Jane Austen's "Emma," influenced the high-fashion yet youthful looks. She discusses reinventing 90s grunge with plaids, Mary Janes, and berets, drawing inspiration from runways while adapting for 16-year-olds.Mona also talks about her continued work with "Clueless" stars like Alicia Silverstone and Elisa Donovan, and the challenges facing the film industry in Los Angeles, with many productions moving overseas for cost-saving measures. She recounts her experiences working in places like Bulgaria and Berlin, highlighting the difficulties of sourcing materials and adapting to different working styles. Mona expresses her passion for color, influenced by her birth in India, and how it translates into her signature costume designs for films like "Enchanted" and "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion."The conversation also touches on Mona's recently published book about "Clueless," her upcoming book tour and master classes at film schools, and her dream costume design projects (like "Barbie"). She offers advice to aspiring costume designers, emphasizing passion, flexibility with travel, and the importance of mentoring. Mona also discusses the significance of costume design in character development and the current state of the industry.Show Notes:www.theparischongshow.com/episodes/mona-may-costume-designer-of-clueless-and-your-other-favorites-moviesChapter Times:(00:00:00) Intro(00:00:42) Mona May / 30years of Clueless(00:03:49) Actor's Request(00:07:39) Romy & Michele's(00:08:24) Book Tour(00:13:00) Teaching at SCAD(00:14:31) Dream Costume Job(00:17:37) Sourcing Materials(00:19:29) Awards(00:24:20) Advice for Costume Designers(00:28:16) Outro

Mr. John Dashwood is still determined to help his sisters after the tragic early death of their father. But his wife, Mrs. Fanny Dashwood, has a few questions. After all, how much money do four single women really need? And surely Mr. Dashwood's deathbed promise to his father didn't mean financial support to his sisters? What if their own child were to ever need the money? It's all sounding very logical to Mr. John Dashwood, and he is grateful to have such a clear-headed wife to guide him. As he plans for the future, let his considerations help relax you and take you into an evening of soft and peaceful slumber. -----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

She determines that Colonel Brandon has fallen for Marianne, and says that the match would be good, as he is rich, and she is beautiful. Marianne thinks that this idea is a joke, and feels nothing for him, and just believes him to be an old man. Mrs. Dashwood jokes that Colonel Brandon is only 5 years younger than herself, and that does not make him an old man, but she does understand what he daughter is feeling about the Colonel. Following this conversation, Marianne talks to her mother about he fears that Edward Ferras must be ill as he hasn't visited them yet. And though Elinor hasn't mentioned the man, Marianne feels like her sister must miss him terribly. SEO stuff I don't want to do.

In the spring of 2022, Jacke dropped everything to plummet into one of the strangest poems he had ever read, "Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894). The result was a two-part episode that never quite found its home. In this special Halloween episode, we've combined the best parts of both of those episodes to bring you the full story of an idiosyncratic Victorian poet and her bizarre tale of two sisters seduced by the fruits being sold by a pack of river goblins.

你听到的是跳岛「读懂金钱」付费系列节目的第二期试听片段，「读懂金钱」付费专题目前只在小宇宙app和网易云音乐上线。如果你对我们的内容感兴趣，欢迎你在这两个平台付费支持我们！ 19世纪的英国，一个新的概念悄然兴起——“经济学人”，也就是以完全追求物质利益为目的而进行经济活动的人。这一永远理性、终极利己的形象，很快成为了庞大经济理论中的基础假设。 很少有人提到的是，几乎与此同时，同样是在英国，现代小说也从上天入地、刀山火海的骑士传奇中分化出来，坠入账单、婚嫁、租房、还贷的现实世界。 这是巧合吗？浪漫故事中的纯爱少女们怎么就成为要面包不要爱情的经济主体了？本期节目，美国布朗大学比较文学博士、英国文学研究者肖一之将从《鲁滨逊漂流记》《傲慢与偏见》《名利场》等经典作品入手，解析“经济学人”如何登上历史舞台，如何演变，又如何反映出我们所处时代的困境。 当理性计算逐渐成为时代主流，小说家们发现自己越来越难以构想替代性的叙事。或许，重温这些故事，也是在提醒我们思考一个难以回避的问题：在一个拜金的世界里，除了成为经济学人，我们还有别的活法吗？ 【本期主播】 肖一之 译者、文学研究者，上海外国语大学英语学院讲师，美国布朗大学比较文学博士。 主要研究19世纪与20世纪早期英国文学、比较文学、全球思想史、文学与科学。译有英国作家福特·马多克斯·福特著“队列之末”四部曲后两部、美国作家 E.B.怀特散文集《论希望》、英国作家马丁·艾米斯短篇小说集《爱因斯坦的怪兽》等作品。 【时间轴】 02:00 罗曼史 vs 小说：从浪漫骑士传奇到账单、进货、租房子 08:09 小说是堕落世界的圣歌，被上帝抛弃的世界的史诗 10:00 理性？算计？利己？到底什么是经济学人？ 16:00 《鲁滨逊漂流记》：真不好意思承认，被困荒岛后还是想搞钱 22:00 《傲慢与偏见》：闺蜜嫁给了被我拒绝的相亲丑男？ 37:50 《名利场》：怎样一毛钱不花，过上一年好日子？ 50:00 《米德尔马契》：如果能继承一大笔遗产，谁还想努力呢？ 63:00 《我们共同的朋友》：当英国霸道总裁冒充保镖爱上做保洁的我 75:42 19世纪纯爱战士狄更斯的高呼：光有理性是没用的，真爱拯救世界！ 78:20 《新寒士街》：不把文化理想当生意，还能活下去吗？ 91:00 《霍华德庄园》：站在金钱之岛，双脚才能不被生活的海浪拖走 104:44 来自弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的辩白：为什么要想谈文学反而更应该谈钱？ 【节目中提到的人名和作品】 人物 拜伦（Lord Byron）：英国浪漫主义诗人、革命家，代表作《唐璜》。 安妮·伊莎贝拉·米尔班克（Anne Isabella Milbanke）：英国教育改革家和慈善家，诗人拜伦之妻，人称拜伦夫人。 埃达·洛夫莱斯（Ada Lovelace）：英国数学家，作家，诗人拜伦的唯一婚生子女。她是第一位主张计算机不只可以用来算数的人，也发表了第一段分析机用的算法，被公认为世界上第一位程序员。 简·奥斯丁（Jane Austen）：英国现实主义小说家，以《傲慢与偏见》《理智与情感》闻名，描绘女性在金钱与爱情之间的理性抉择。 格奥尔格·卢卡奇（György Lukács）：匈牙利马克思主义哲学家和文学理论家，代表作《历史与阶级意识》《小说理论》，提出“小说是被上帝抛弃的世界的史诗”。 黑格尔（G. W. F.

你听到的是跳岛「读懂金钱」付费系列节目的第四期试听片段，「读懂金钱」付费专题目前只在小宇宙app和网易云音乐上线。如果你对我们的内容感兴趣，欢迎你在这两个平台付费支持我们！ 你有没有关注过女装的口袋？ 研究显示，女装口袋平均只有男装口袋的一半大小，很多裙子甚至根本没有口袋。这一个历史遗留问题：在传统社会，女性被认为没有随身携带钱物的必要，因为她们的生活理所当然地依附于男性。没有口袋，意味着没有独立支配金钱的空间；而没有钱包，就没有经济自主权。 本期节目，文学研究者、作家张秋子将带领我们追溯19世纪文学中三个关于钱包的细节——从《包法利夫人》中那个潘多拉魔盒般的画中钱包，到女性主义文学经典《黄色墙纸》作者夏洛特·吉尔曼笔下象征着独立的口袋，以及伍尔夫《达洛维夫人》中可以暂时安放婚戒的荷包。钱包在她们的手中，是金钱的容器，也是权力与自由的隐喻。 但今天，当“全职女儿”成为流行词汇，当年轻女性因就业困境退回家庭、失去收入来源，理想躺平生活的表象背后，是依附与寄生之间愈加模糊的界限。正如金爱烂《滔滔生活》中那个觉得自己在“吞咽母亲”的女孩——文学让我们看见，女性的寄生困境从未远去。关于金钱、劳动与女性独立的沉重议题，还在延续。 【本期主播】 张秋子 云南昆明人，云南师范大学文学院教师、写作者，南开大学比较文学与世界文学博士，著有《小说榫卯》《与达洛维夫人共度一天》《堂吉诃德的眼镜》等。 【时间轴】 00:00 什么是“全职女儿”？“全职女儿”背后的女性困境 07:27 作为“奖品”的女性形象：《荷马史诗》里的女奴与童话中的公主 16:33 《包法利夫人》：画中少女的钱包，何以成为艾玛宿命的诅咒？ 23:00 《如果我是一个男人》：没有口袋的裙子，如何装下金钱与自由 28:00 《达洛维夫人》：痛苦时，可以把婚戒放进钱包 32:25 成为“全职女儿”真的是一种解脱吗？ 41:30 儿子享受蜜月时，女儿在清理母亲的排泄物 51:53 金爱烂：“每吞下一个饺子，都感觉是在吞咽妈妈” 54:00 为什么越中产的父母，被寄生后越焦虑？ 61:00 文学无法开处方，但能让模糊的痛苦现形 【节目中提到的人名和作品】 人物 伊塔洛·卡尔维诺（Italo Calvino）：意大利当代作家。主要作品有小说《分成两半的子爵》《树上的男爵》《不存在的骑士》《命运交叉的城堡》等。 尼古拉·果戈理（Nikolai Gogol）：俄国批判主义作家，代表作有《死魂灵》《钦差大臣》。节目中提到的《圣诞节前夜》《鼻子》为其短篇小说作品。 伊娃·易洛思（Eva Illouz)：法国社会学家，巴黎社会科学高等研究学院研究主任，耶路撒冷希伯来大学社会学和人类学教授。曾被德国《时代周刊》评选为世界上最有影响力的 12 位思想家之一。著有《爱，为什么痛？》《冷亲密》《爱的终结》等。 简·奥斯丁（Jane Austen）：英国小说家，代表作《傲慢与偏见》《理智与情感》。她的小说表面是爱情故事，核心却是经济安排，揭示了金钱、婚姻与阶层的紧密勾连。 居斯塔夫·福楼拜（Gustave Flauber）：法国小说家，现实主义文学代表人物，著有《包法利夫人》《情感教育》。 巴尔扎克（Honoré de Balzac）：法国小说家、剧作家、评论家与记者，欧洲现实主义文学奠基人。 夏洛特·吉尔曼（Charlotte Gilman）：美国作家、女性主义先锋。著有《黄色墙纸》《她的国》。 弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫（Virginia Woolf）：英国作家，二十世纪现实主义文学、意识流文学与女性主义文学先锋。著有《达洛卫夫人》《到灯塔去》《奥兰多》《海浪》《一间自己的房间》。 皮埃尔·布尔迪厄（Pierre Bourdieu）：法国哲学家、社会学家、人类学家，著有《区分：判断力的社会批判》《世界的苦难》。 林雪虹：马来西亚作家，现居中国。代表作《林门郑氏》《别处的月光》。 克莱尔·吉根（Claire Keegan）：爱尔兰短篇小说家。以精致动人的短篇小说见长，代表作有《南极》《走在蓝色的田野上》《寄养》。节目中提到的《唱歌的收银员》收录于短篇小说集《水最深的地方》。 金爱烂：韩国作家。作品反映了当代韩国青年生活处境，代表作有《你的夏天还好吗》《外面是夏天》《滔滔生活》。 书籍 《荷马史诗》《见树又见林》《爱，为什么痛？》《包法利夫人》《保尔和维吉尼》《云朵的道路》《黄色墙纸》《达洛卫夫人》《大学生》《林门郑氏》《水最深的地方》《滔滔生活》 出品方 | 中信书店 出品人｜李楠 策划人｜蔡欣 制作人 | 何润哲 广岛乱 运营编辑 | 黄鱼 运营支持｜李坪芳 设计｜王尊一 后期剪辑 | KIMIU 公众号：跳岛FM Talking Literature 跳到更多：即刻|微博|豆瓣|小红书

The Middleton's always seem to have company and almost seem to need the company of others. Sir Middleton, hunts, and the Lady takes care of, and spoils their children. Sir Middleton, in the summer, always gets the local boys together to eat and hunt, and in the Winter, holds balls for all of the local ladies. When the ladies arrive, Sir Middleton welcomes them and takes them to the living room. They meet an old friend of Lord Middleton's, Colonel Brandon, and Mrs. Jennings, Lady Middleton's mother. The colonel is on the wrong side of 35, but his is sensible and gentlemanly. Once they get on the topic of Music, Marianne is invited to play Piano, and she charms everyone with her abilities. SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.

George IV's impressive Library included all the novels of Jane Austen, for whom he had a particular fondness. But what was not known (until a receipt was discovered in the Royal Archives in 2018) was that the Prince Regent had almost certainly been Austen's very first customer - buying a copy of ‘Sense and Sensibility' for 15 shillings on 28th October, 1811. His admiration for the anonymous 35 year-old author's work lead to an awkward moment later in her career, when she felt obligated to dedicate ‘Emma' to His Royal Highness - a task she clearly wished to avoid. In this episode, Arion, Olly and Rebecca explain why Austen detested her royal patron; reveal the dry first draft of her dedication to him; and consider how the famously promiscuous, indulgent monarch could have so badly misread Austen's manifesto for moderation… Further Reading • ‘One of Jane Austen's earliest buyers revealed as Prince Regent – who she 'hated'' (The Guardian, 2018): https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jul/25/jane-austen-buyer-hated-prince-regent-sense-and-sensibility • ‘Jane Austen's First Buyer?

Beyond thrilled to welcome back the dynamic writing duo Audrey Bellezza and Emily Harding to celebrate the latest installment in their For the Love of Austen trilogy — Anne of Avenue A! I absolutely adore these two, and their books are guaranteed to make you swoon.

We chatted about everything from Jane Austen's 250th birthday and her lasting influence on pop culture, to our shared love of romance novels, Felicity (so on brand for us!), the clever nods to reality TV woven into the book, and so much more.If you haven't yet read their backlist, I'm genuinely jealous — their novels are a celebration of love, Jane, and New York City!

The year is 1816, and 18-year-old Mary Shelley has fled London with her lover, Percy Shelley, and her sister, Claire. They're on their way to visit Lord Byron's villa in Lake Geneva, Switzerland - and to change the course of literary history.

The cottage is perfectly fine as a house, but as a cottage, it is missing many little aspects that a cottage is in need of, like honeysuckle covered walls. The cottage is very small, but it does have everything the family will need. It is too late in the year for Mrs. Dashwood to do any renovations, but it means that she will have plenty of money to renovate when the Spring begins. Once settled in, their landlord, Sir John Middleton visits them. He is a good-looking man of about 40, and he seems to be, in person, as polite as in letter. He sends them a welcome gift of garden produce and game. They soon visit Lady Middleton too. A younger woman of 26 or 27, and she is very elegant, but rather cold compared to her husband.SEO stuff I don't want to do.

December 16th will mark the 250th birthday of the renowned English novelist Jane Austen, and “Janeites” (as her fans call themselves) are aflutter worldwide. In this episode of the TRADITION Podcast Mali Brofsky chats with Yaffa Aranoff about her recent essay “The Perils of Gentle Selfishness: Jane Austen's Emma and Halakhic Morality,” TRADITION 57:1 (Winter 2025). Brofsky and Aranoff are both avid lovers of Austen's writing, and in this conversation they discuss  how her novel Emma interacts with Aranoff's reading of Hazal's understanding of the principle to not “put a stumbling block before the blind,” revealing the depths of Austen's wisdom and Hazal's ethical sensitivity. The conversation concludes with a few words about Austen's literary skill as it is conveyed through Mansfield Park, which was Brofsky's pick for our 2025 Summer Book Endorsements.  They also consider Austen's philosophy of virtue and the ways it is conveyed in her writing. Altogether, this episode serves as a demonstration of engagement with “the best” in literature, showing how it can redound to our growth as thinking religious beings. Yaffa Aranoff teaches at Midreshet Lindenbaum's Darcheynu program and at other institutions in Jerusalem. Mali Brofsky, a member of TRADITION's editorial board, is a senior faculty member at MMY and a social worker in private practice.

After reflecting on the lack of economical thinking that brought him here, Mr. Bennet speedily agrees to the terms that Mr. Gardiner has secured for Lydia and Wickham's marriage. But he is determined to hold strong on one point - they shall not be allowed to enter Longbourn. That is, until Elizabeth and Jane convince him to allow a visit as the newlyweds are on their way to Wickham's new posting in the north. Meanwhile, now that the marriage has taken place, Elizabeth is wishing she hadn't let Mr. Darcy in on the sordid truth, since she is slowly realizing that he may in fact, be the right man for her. Elizabeth is convinced that her realization has come too late, but luckily, it's not too late for you to enjoy our latest Friday Favorites as it helps you into another night of soft and comforting sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

In 1945, the Nobel Committee awarded its prize for literature to Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) "for her lyric poetry which, inspired by powerful emotions, has made her name a symbol of the idealistic aspirations of the entire Latin American world." Born in a rural Andean valley and abandoned by her free-spirited father at the age of three, Mistral struggled for the right to be a teacher - and then went on to help reform the Chilean educational system to improve the lives of women and the impoverished. After experiencing heartbreak and several tragedies, her poetry collection Desolación ("Desolation" or "Despair") (1922) made her one of Latin America's most revered writers. In this episode, Jacke looks at the life and works of this remarkable poet, whose constant search for truths in nature and humanity informed a body of work that continues to delight and inspire.

In this episode, Jacke talks to author David Denby about his new book, Eminent Jews: Bernstein, Brooks, Friedan, Mailer, a group biography (loosely inspired by Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians) that describes how four larger-than-life figures upended the restrained culture of their forebears and changed American life.

Greg Jenner is joined in Regency England by historian Dr Lucy Worsley and actor Sally Phillips to learn all about the life and works of literary legend Jane Austen on the 250th anniversary of her birth in December 1775. It is a truth universally acknowledged that Austen is one of England's best-loved authors, and the creator of such indelible characters as Elizabeth Bennet, Mr Darcy, Emma Woodhouse and Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. Whether you have read one of her six books – Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Emma, Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park – or seen one of the many adaptations, most of us have some experience with Austen. But her life story and how it influenced her writing is perhaps less well-known. This episode explores her early life as the daughter of a rural clergyman, takes a peek inside the books a teenage Jane was reading, and delves into her romantic and familial relationships to see what shaped Austen into the formidable literary talent she was. And it asks a key question: was Jane Austen, who wrote such wonderful women characters, a feminist? If you're a fan of iconic authors, Regency romances and women succeeding in a man's world, you'll love our episode on Jane Austen. If you want more incredible women authors with Dr Lucy Worsley, check out our episode on Agatha Christie. For more from Sally Phillips, listen to our episode on Fairy Tales. And for more Regency romance, there's our episode on Georgian Courtship. You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.

What does it mean to be a man? It's a timeless question that's been answered in different ways across the ages. For the ancient Romans, the word for manliness was virtus — the root of our word virtue. To be a man meant living a life of virtuous excellence.Waller Newell takes up that same definition in his book The Code of Man, first published twenty years ago and now released in a new edition. Today on the show, Waller, a professor of political science, argues that we need to recover an older vision of manhood rooted in the traditions of Western antiquity. He shares the five paths that, in his view, form the classical code of manliness and how they can continue to be lived out today.Resources Related to the PodcastWaller's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #104 — The Code of Man With Waller NewellAoM Article: What Is Manliness?AoM series on the origins and nature of manhoodAoM Podcast #1,028: The 5 Marks of a ManAoM Podcast #926: The 5 Shifts of ManhoodAoM Article: Got Thumos?AoM Article: What Is a Man?
