SF Kritik: "Luna inconita" von Axel Kruse - besprochen von Udo Klotz(Hördauer 05 Min.)Die Schatzinsel von Robert Louis Stevenson, wer kennt sie nicht? Hier kommt sie in neuem Gewand. Die faschistische Erdregierung wurde von den Aliens in die Knie gezwungen. In der Ideologie der Verlierer fühlt sich Jim Hawkins sichtlich wohl. Für ihn sind die Aliens an allem schuld: Am verlorenen Krieg sowieso, an der Arbeitslosigkeit, der wirtschaftlichen Misere und überhaupt … Er ist zwar noch nie einem Alien persönlich begegnet, aber seine Meinung steht unverrückbar – oder doch nicht? Denn dann erlebt er ein Abenteuer, das seine Einstellung hart auf die Probe stellt, und nach und nach kommen die Selbstzweifel, die sein Weltbild infrage stellen.Udo Klotz organisiert seit rund dreißig Jahren die Wahl und die Verleihung des Kurd Laßwitz Preises, kurz KLP genannt, einem der wichtigsten Literaturpreise auf dem Gebiet der phantastischen Literatur in Deutschland. Im Gespräch erzählt er, wie die Nominierungen zustande kommen, wer zur Wahl berechtigt ist und wie und wo die Verleihungen stattfinden.Außerdem ist Udo Klotz gemeinsam mit Christian Hoffmann Herausgeber des Magazins !TIME MACHINE, das mit bisher sechs Ausgaben beim Wurdack Verlag erscheint und sich vor allem an SF-Fans wendet, die sich nicht nur für Neuerscheinungen interessieren, sondern auch für die Geschichte des Genres. Münchner PhantastenWenn dich diese Sendung interessiert hat, dann schau doch auch mal hierhttps://literaturradiohoerbahn.com/kalt-wie-die-luft-von-orjan-n-karlsson-rezension-von-constanze-matthes/ Tontechnik und Realisation: Uwe Kullnick

Dans cet épisode de podcast, on plonge dans La Planète au Trésor (Treasure Planet), le film d'animation Disney sorti en 2002 et aujourd'hui considéré comme un véritable classique culte.Adapté du roman L'Île au trésor, ce long-métrage mêle science-fiction, aventure et émotion à travers le parcours de Jim Hawkins et du mythique John Silver. Entre animation hybride (2D et 3D), innovations techniques et direction artistique ambitieuse, Disney proposait ici un projet unique… qui n'a pourtant pas rencontré le succès attendu à sa sortie.

After inheriting a mysterious treasure map, young Jim Hawkins sets sail for the high seas with a crew of felt-covered misfits and a clueless captain. But the horizon turns dark when the ship's charismatic cook, Long John Silver (Tim Curry), reveals he's more interested in gold than gourmet meals. From psychedelic 'Cabin Fever' hallucinations to a tropical showdown with a pig-worshipping tribe, it's a swashbuckling scramble where Jim must find his courage before the pirates make him walk the plank into a sea of chaos.

Episode 154 - A Twisted Tale Anthology, edited by Elizabeth LimAnthologies are always a gamble and this one was no exception. Sam and Kaitlyn dig into A Twisted Tale Anthology, where some stories absolutely worked for us, others really didn't, and far too many landed in the worst category of all: boring.We talk about which retellings shine, which ones miss the mark, and why anthologies are especially vulnerable to pacing issues, tonal whiplash, and stories that feel more like extended concepts than actual narratives. If you've ever loved a premise but struggled to stay engaged, this episode will feel very familiar.New episodes every Monday at 8 AM EST ✨Next week: The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood⏱️ TIME STAMPS00:00 Intro01:15 Age Level & Content Warning01:58 Judge a Book by It's Cover03:50 Cast Out - What if Snow White Learned Magic?13:35 A First Mission - What if Mulan became the Emperor's Advisor19:17 Et Viola - What if Remy Met Colette First26:56 The Envelope - What if Anastasia Has a Change of Heart34:28 A New Dawn - What if Mufasa Gave Up His Throne?39:01 Rattle the Stars - What if Jim Hawkins joined the Pirates44:03 A Royal Game of Chess - What if History Wasn't Quite Right About the Legend of Robin Hood47:51 The Secret Exchange - What if Eric Met Ariel After She Rescued Him51:31 Dust to Dust - What if Tinker Bell was Working for Captain Hook57:56 Gonna Take You There - What if Naveen Had to Get Home to Maldonia01:03:10 Fates Three - What if the Triplets Visited the Witch01:09:11 A Dragon in the Snow - What if Madame Mim and Merlin Went to School Together01:14:35 The Journey Home - What if Belle had to Take Her Father's Place at the Fair01:18:02 Call it a Hunch - What if Hercules's First Day as a God Didn't Go as Planned?01:21:42 The Reluctant Prince - What if Bambi Didn't Want to Be the Next Great Prince of the Forest?01:24:52 The Rose in the Thorn - What is Aura Knew the Truth about Her Curse?01:30:36 General Thoughts01:31:53 One Question for the Editor01:35:08 Rating01:37:30 Read Again?01:38:33 Favorite of the Book01:39:03 Outro

Welcome back to AthCastMusic. My name is Marlene Sokol Stewart, and this is my Podcast.Today's Episode is about one of those stories that feels like the ghost of Athens past. The people. The places, the timing, and the music that couldn't have happened anywhere else.Our guest Bob Hay grew up right in the middle of the musical explosion of the ‘60's, learning guitar after the Beatles changed everything. Like so many of that generations, it started with Bob listening to bands and musicians like the Animals, Simon and Garfunkel, Donovan, Don McLean, Rick Derringer and then slowly realizing that writing your own songs was actually easier than trying to perfectly play someone else's.High school bands, college years, teaching for a bit, working whatever jobs paid the bills, even time spent at a lobster restaurant in Maine, started Bob down the long and winding road. By the late ‘70's, Athens was funky, cheap and wide open. Empty buildings, a brand new mall pulling business away from downtown, and just enough creative chaos for something special to grow. A conversation with Ken Starratt in the fall of '77, and one January in Athens was all it took to know this was home. Bob worked at the Eldorado vegetarian restaurant among other odd jobs. Listening to bands on Athens WEOG, and concerts at the 40 Watt, created a perfect storm for Bon and what was rambling in his mind.After hitchhiking across the country, stopping at the Grateful Dead's 15thAnniversary, and coming back to Athens, the songs poured out; dozens of them written not just for one person, but for a band that didn't exist yet. After talking with his friend Ken Starratt and a few other musicians, The Squalls became the band those songs were waiting for. Over 60 shows at the 40 Watt, a music scene taking shape, Jim Hawkins (yes, the same Jim Hawkins who played with the Embers and backed Otis Redding) producing the first record cemented Bob Hay and the Squalls as a vital part of Athens' music explosion in the ‘70's and ‘80's. Not to mention their songs being featured in the infamous film “Inside/Out which was a pretty big deal, too. .This episode, like all of the other AthCastMusic's 50 episodes isn't just about one band or one songwriter. It's about the people who were there before Athens was famous for being Athens and the ones who helped build the foundation that everything else stands on. So, settle in! This is going to be a good one!Here is my conversation with Bob Hay.

Do you have any thoughts or ideas about the show? Send us a text! Hello Creators,Ever meet a classic through its film cousins first? Join our final Guest Reader of 2025, trans voice actor Robyn McConnell, as she traces the surprising lineage between Treasure Planet and Muppets Treasure Island and the book that started it all—then slip into a soft, steady reading of Stevenson's opening chapter.Robyn shares how adaptations simplify early stakes, why some versions erase Jim Hawkins' father, and what that choice does to the mood of the Admiral Benbow. Together we map what the films kept—the songs, the myth, the promise of danger—and what the novel restores: the quiet dread of waiting, the texture of a frayed coat, the weight of a debt unpaid. It's a guided rediscovery that treats story as both study and sanctuary.From the captain's first knock to Dr Livesey's unflinching rebuke, the chapter unfolds in calm detail. Robyn's performance stays warm and restrained, giving you space to breathe while keeping the thread of the tale clear. If you've only known the story through animation and puppets, you'll hear why the original opening is a masterclass in atmosphere—rich, patient, and haunting in the gentlest way.If you enjoy thoughtful storytelling, cosy narration, and a little literary myth-busting, this one's for you. Follow for more sleep-friendly readings, share with a friend who needs a calmer night, and leave a quick review to help others find their way to rest.Sweet Dreams,Florence xFollow Robyn:https://rmcconnellva.carrd.co/Instagram: @cubixfailsSupport the showOur Links: www.sleeplesscreativespodcast.co.uk Our producer Instagram Linkedin Do you want to feature as one of our Guest Readers in your own special episode?

"The world's first iron bridge spans the Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire in the English Midlands. Through the gorge runs the River Severn, which is prone to flooding - and becoming more so, through climate change. The Ironbridge Gorge is often called the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. The area contains all the elements of progress that contributed to the rapid development of this industrial region in the 18th century, from the mines themselves to the railway lines.  "Nearby, the blast furnace of Coalbrookdale, built in 1708, is a reminder of the discovery of coke. The bridge at Ironbridge had a considerable influence on developments in the fields of technology and architecture. This recording was made at the highest point of the arch of the bridge, at a time when the river was in flood and parts of the surrounding area were inaccessible as a result. You hear the rush of the water some 18m below the bridge, the voices of tourists and visitors walking past, the sounds of the town (stereo L) and a passing light aeroplane, and an angrily barking dog! You also hear the clicking and beeping of tourists' cameras as they photograph the flooding, including one who stands directly above the recorder, then accidentally kicks it over and apologises!  "Many thousands of people visit the Iron Bridge and the surrounding area (UNESCO WHS) but mostly in fine weather. Local people's experience of the Gorge inevitably includes experiencing the impact of flooding, hence I thought it was important to capture a sound few visitors will have heard."

Robert Louis Stevenson, a sickly boy with a vivid imagination, grew up along Scotland's rugged coast, where tales of shipwrecks and buried gold stirred dreams of pirates and treasure. Out of this coastal world, Stevenson crafted Treasure Island - and with it, Long John Silver, a character who has since come to define the cunning, complex pirate in our imaginations. But what inspired Stevenson's tale, and how did his own experiences, steeped in adventure and struggle, breathe life into one of literature's greatest pirates? Tracing the origins of Treasure Island and its enduring characters, we learn that the stories are grounded in Stevenson's Scottish roots, a tapestry of real pirate lore, and the influential writings of Daniel Defoe. We meet Jim Hawkins, the young hero, and Long John Silver, the peg-legged rogue inspired by stories of real marauders. Join Anita and William as they explore how Treasure Island came to shape the mythical pirate figure and inspire countless adventures.

This week on The Video Store Podcast, we're diving into some adventurous waters with four pirate films you might not have rented yet, but are worth a look. These films span decades, showing how Hollywood has captured the allure of swashbuckling adventures over time. Whether you're a fan of classic Hollywood, musicals, or big-budget ‘90s action, I've picked a lineup that I think captures the spirit of the genre in different ways.Here's what's on this episode:Captain Blood (1935)If you're curious about Errol Flynn's big break, Captain Blood is the film to watch. Directed by Michael Curtiz, who later went on to make Casablanca, this movie was released during the Golden Age of Hollywood and set the standard for pirate films to come. In it, Flynn plays Dr. Peter Blood, an Irish physician turned reluctant pirate, a role that became iconic for him. Olivia de Havilland co-stars, marking the first of eight films they'd appear in together. The movie was actually adapted from Rafael Sabatini's 1922 novel, and what's interesting is that Flynn wasn't the studio's first choice. Warner Bros. originally wanted Robert Donat, but when he turned it down, they took a chance on Flynn, who was then unknown. The film went on to be a hit, and Flynn's career took off from there.Treasure Island (1950) Disney's first fully live-action film was Treasure Island, adapted from Robert Louis Stevenson's novel. This film captures the heart of the classic pirate tale with Bobby Driscoll as Jim Hawkins and Robert Newton as the unforgettable Long John Silver. Newton's portrayal of Silver is what many credit with shaping the “pirate accent” we recognize today, especially that exaggerated “Arrr.” For a lot of people, myself included, this is the definitive version of Treasure Island, so it's a must-watch for anyone wanting a straightforward adaptation of the classic tale.The Pirate Movie (1982)The Pirate Movie is very different from the last two films. It is more of a campy, musical rom-com take on The Pirates of Penzance. If you're looking for a quirky, offbeat experience, this film, starring Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins, is definitely that. Though critics weren't fond of it when it was released, it's gained a bit of a cult following since then. One interesting thing about this movie is that it openly riffs on the Gilbert and Sullivan opera it's based on, adding a lot of modern (for the time) references. It's worth a watch if you're into musicals and don't mind a less traditional approach to a pirate story.Cutthroat Island (1995)Last up is Cutthroat Island, an ambitious, big-budget adventure directed by Renny Harlin and starring Geena Davis and Matthew Modine. Known mostly for being a notorious box office bomb, it has gained some appreciation over the years for its impressive stunt work, practical effects, and for putting a female pirate in the lead. Davis plays Morgan Adams, a captain on a quest to find hidden treasure. While the film's financial failure might have overshadowed its merits at the time, there's a lot to admire. It's also one of the last pirate movies before Pirates of the Caribbean would revive the genre nearly a decade later. If you're ready for a bit of pirate escapism, these four movies offer different takes on the genre, from classic Hollywood adventure to musical satire to large-scale nineties action. Listen to the show to hear a little more about each film and why they're worth watching, and maybe even renting, this week. This is a public episode.

As Jim and his quirky Muppet friends navigate through dangers and deception, the film provides a perfect mix of thrilling pirate lore and Muppet antics. Tim Curry shines in every scene, adding a splendidly theatrical flavor to the beloved tale.Why We Loved ItTim Curry's Magnetic Performance: As Long John Silver, Curry is absolutely magnetic, bringing depth, charm, and a hint of menace that complements the Muppet crew's zaniness perfectly.Captivating Songs: The musical numbers are standout moments, with tunes like "Shiver My Timbers" and "Professional Pirate" that are not only catchy but beautifully integrated into the story, enhancing the emotional and narrative stakes of the adventure.Perfect Blend of Humor and Heart: The film strikes a remarkable balance, staying true to the adventurous spirit of the original novel while infusing it with the Muppets' signature blend of whimsy and warmth. This adaptation captures the essence of what makes the Muppets so beloved by fans of all ages.A Dad's Take For a family movie night, Muppets Treasure Island is an absolute winner.

It's an adventure that sparks laughter and warms the heart, making it a perfect pick for viewers of all ages.Muppets Treasure Island is a film that truly has it all—humor, adventure, catchy music, and heart.

A crowd of artists and aesthetes have declared in this age that art is immoral; but the fact plainly and obviously remains that there never was a time in the history of the world when art was so moral. If there be a fault in the popular criticism of the day, it is that it is far too much so. G. K. Chesterton, The Soul of Wit Man is by nature so dissatisfied an animal that he must always be acclaiming something that he fondly believes to be new. Charles Petrie, The Four Georges But though the thing is to be criticised (and admired) strictly as an adventure story, there are sidelights of interest about it considered as a historical novel. It carries on a rather curiously balanced critical attitude, partly inherited from the attitude of Sir Walter Scott, the paradox of being intellectually on the side of the Whigs and morally on the side of the Jacobites. G. K. Chesterton, Robert Louis Stevenson Scotland's Winter by Edwin Muir Now the ice lays its smooth claws on the sill, The sun looks from the hill Helmed in his winter casket, And sweeps his arctic sword across the sky. The water at the mill Sounds more hoarse and dull. The miller's daughter walking by With frozen fingers soldered to her basket Seems to be knocking  Upon a hundred leagues of floor With her light heels, and mocking Percy and Douglas dead, And Bruce on his burial bed, Where he lies white as may With wars and leprosy, And all the kings before This land was kingless, And all the singers before This land was songless, This land that with its dead and living waits the Judgement Day. But they, the powerless dead, Listening can hear no more Than a hard tapping on the floor A little overhead Of common heels that do not know Whence they come or where they go And are content With their poor frozen life and shallow banishment.
