Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Harvesting Friendship: A Rice Farmer's Journey to Unity Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2025-10-05-07-38-20-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 秋天的天空清澈如洗，金色的稻田在夕阳的映照下，散发着温暖的光芒。En: The autumn sky was as clear as if it had been washed, and the golden rice fields shone warmly under the glow of the setting sun.Zh: 稻田边缘是连绵的山峦，仿佛为这个小村庄围上了一道天然的屏障。En: At the edges of the fields were rolling mountains, as if they were a natural barrier enclosing this small village.Zh: 魏是一名勤劳的农夫。En: Wei was a hardworking farmer.Zh: 他的家庭对他来说是最重要的。En: His family was the most important thing to him.Zh: 他希望在中秋节前完成稻谷的丰收，让家人过一个温暖的团圆节。En: He hoped to finish the harvest of the rice before the Mid-Autumn Festival so that his family could have a warm reunion.Zh: 然而，几天前，魏不小心扭伤了脚踝。En: However, a few days ago, Wei accidentally sprained his ankle.Zh: 虽然疼痛不已，他却不愿开口向人求助，心里始终觉得自己能做到。En: Despite the significant pain, he was reluctant to ask for help, feeling convinced that he could manage on his own.Zh: 每天早晨，魏都会拄着拐杖走进田地。En: Every morning, Wei would hobble into the fields leaning on a crutch.Zh: 尽管步履蹒跚，他心里只有一个目标：按时收割稻谷。En: Although he walked with a limp, he had only one goal in his heart: to harvest the rice on time.Zh: 可是，随着日子一天天过去，魏的疼痛加剧，工作进度却远远落后。En: But as the days went by, his pain worsened and his progress lagged far behind.Zh: 看着满田的稻谷，他心急如焚。En: Seeing the field full of rice left him both anxious and worried.Zh: 一天，魏拖着重重的双腿走在田埂上，终于到达了顶点。En: One day, Wei dragged his heavy legs across the narrow paths between the fields, finally reaching his limit.Zh: 疼痛和疲惫使他无法再继续下去，他一下子瘫坐在田间。En: The pain and exhaustion made it impossible for him to continue, and he collapsed into the field.Zh: 那一刻，他终于意识到自己一个人根本无法应对，骄傲使他迟迟不愿开口求助。En: At that moment, he finally realized that he couldn't handle it all alone, and it was his pride that had kept him from seeking help.Zh: 这时，村里的朋友李和金碰巧路过。En: Just then, his village friends Li and Jin happened to pass by.Zh: 他们见状，赶忙上前搀扶魏。En: Seeing his plight, they hurried over to help Wei up.Zh: “魏，我们来帮你！”他们齐声说。En: "Wei, we'll help you!" they said in unison.Zh: 魏犹豫了一下，但看到朋友们真挚的眼神，他终于点了点头。En: Wei hesitated for a moment, but seeing the sincere looks in his friends' eyes, he finally nodded.Zh: 在李和金的帮助下，魏终于放下了负担。En: With the help of Li and Jin, Wei finally let go of his burdens.Zh: 三个人齐心协力，不到几天，就完成了整个稻田的收割。En: The three of them worked together, and in just a few days, they completed the harvest of the entire field.Zh: 中秋节的晚上，大家围坐在一起，品尝着月饼，欣赏着那轮圆月。En: On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they all sat together, savoring yuebing (mooncakes) and admiring the full moon.Zh: 魏感受到了从未有过的温暖和满足。En: Wei felt a warmth and satisfaction he had never experienced before.Zh: “谢谢你们。”魏诚恳地对李和金说。En: "Thank you both," Wei said earnestly to Li and Jin.Zh: “我学会了依靠朋友的重要性。En: "I've learned the importance of relying on friends.Zh: 原来，合作才是最强大的力量。”En: It turns out that cooperation is the strongest power."Zh: 那是一个充满团结和友情的中秋节。En: It was a Mid-Autumn Festival filled with unity and friendship.Zh: 魏不仅收获了稻谷，还收获了珍贵的友谊。En: Wei not only harvested the rice but also gained a precious friendship.Zh: 月光铺满大地，稻田在秋风中轻轻摇曳，仿佛在述说着这个关于合作的故事。En: The moonlight covered the earth, and the rice fields swayed gently in the autumn breeze, as if narrating this story about cooperation.

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. On this episode, we question the healthcare facilities available on the island, as well as the need for yet another hour of TV reminding us that people keep lying to Jin.​Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 3, episode 19, "The Brig." Tomorrow, we'll continue with our discussion of a newer show, Only Murders in the Building.

Jin Synth is a Taiwanese sound designer, producer, and DJ whose name has been a long-time fixture in the London scene. Her artistic delivery is characterised by ambience, experimentation, and a never-settling nature. This four-track project on Italian label KR3 marks five years around the sun for the label and showcases the distinct yet complementary visions of Jin and Marco Maldarella, and mastered by Peter Van Hoesen. A recipe for success? We think so. "From many strange places and by many strange roads" is the label's message to us on Bandcamp, and this EP ‘The Neural Abyss' facilitates a new place to explore. When first attempting to describe this track, I immediately felt it was a calling - a cry for communion, a summons to meet, a pull towards something unfamiliar, somewhere to unravel and understand more, perhaps from within a snowy mountain range? I hadn't yet noticed the title, but it makes complete sense that the track is called "Signal." A signal and a calling are fundamentally similar: a message, which is precisely what this music is. The sounds funnel us through the deep, spiralling crevices and dark corners of the mountain. The echoes are hypnotic, fuelling this journey. What Jin achieves here is the expression of a route of thought of her own, providing many paths for the listener to interpret as their own and it's available to pre-order on vinyl and digital now and will be released on Friday 24th October on Bandcamp. @jinsynth https://www.instagram.com/jinsynth Write up by @danpeplow Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.delayed.nyc www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Chasing Dreams Under the Moon: Wei's Culinary Journey Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2025-09-28-07-38-20-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 秋天的一个夜晚，月亮圆满高挂，洒下银色的光辉，笼罩着这个迷人的山村。En: On an autumn night, the full moon hung high, casting its silver light and enveloping this charming mountain village.Zh: 村里的屋顶排列有序，隐约晃动着灯笼的光影。En: The rooftops in the village were neatly arranged, with the shadow and light of lanterns flickering faintly.Zh: 在这中秋佳节，村子里充满了欢声笑语，因为一场期待已久的吃月饼比赛即将开始。En: During this Zhongqiu Festival, the village was filled with laughter and joy because a much-anticipated mooncake eating contest was about to begin.Zh: 魏，一个热爱探险的青年，从小憧憬着成为一名厨师。En: Wei, a young man passionate about adventure, dreamed of becoming a chef since he was a child.Zh: 他的家族经营着一家传统的店铺，父母希望他继续经营，但魏的心中却怀有一个秘密：他想追求自己的料理梦想。En: His family ran a traditional shop, and his parents hoped he would continue the business, but Wei held a secret in his heart: he wanted to pursue his own culinary dreams.Zh: “我一定要赢得比赛，”魏心想，“这样才能证明自己有能力追逐梦想。”En: "I must win the contest," Wei thought, "Only then can I prove that I have the ability to chase my dreams."Zh: 然而，这次比赛的地点突然更改，让魏一脸茫然。En: However, the contest's location was suddenly changed, leaving Wei baffled.Zh: 他决定抄近路，穿过层层的梯田，心中想着会早点到达比赛场地。En: He decided to take a shortcut, crossing through layers of terraced fields, hoping to arrive at the contest venue earlier.Zh: “这样就有时间准备了。”魏自语道。En: "This way, I'll have time to prepare," Wei muttered to himself.Zh: 然而，梯田纵横交错，看似熟悉的路变得陌生。En: Nevertheless, the crisscrossing terraces seemed familiar but turned unfamiliar.Zh: 魏在蜿蜒的田埂上徘徊，尝试辨认方向，但不知不觉中，他被秋日的晚霞引入了一片静谧的池塘。En: Wei wandered along the winding paths, trying to recognize his direction, but inadvertently, he was led by the autumn sunset to a tranquil pond.Zh: 这个池塘边缘生满了野花，池水如镜，反射出皎洁的月光，仿佛另一个世界的入口。En: The edge of this pond was filled with wildflowers, and the water was like a mirror, reflecting the bright moonlight, seemingly an entrance to another world.Zh: 魏默然站立，他忽然觉得，追逐梦想不一定要通过胜利来证明。En: Wei stood silently and suddenly felt that chasing dreams doesn't necessarily rely on proving oneself through victories.Zh: “成功也许不在比赛，而在于寻找内心的答案。”魏自语，心中感到释然。En: "Success might not be in the contest but in finding the answer within," Wei murmured, a sense of relief washing over him.Zh: 当魏最终回到村子时，比赛早已结束。En: When Wei finally returned to the village, the contest had already ended.Zh: 他遇到了他的朋友丽丽和金，他们仿佛能从魏的眼神中读出他的新发现。En: He met his friends Lili and Jin, who seemed to read the new realization in his eyes.Zh: “比赛只是其中一部分，”魏微笑着分享他的经历，“找到自己的道路才是对自己的真正胜利。”En: "The contest is just one part," Wei smiled, sharing his experience, "finding your own path is the true victory."Zh: 丽丽点头表示赞同：“追求梦想的过程比结果更重要。”En: Lili nodded in agreement, "The process of pursuing dreams is more important than the result."Zh: 金笑着回应：“一起去老林路的长廊，听说那里的月光更美，也许我们能找到新的启迪。”En: Jin responded with a smile, "Let's go to the corridor of Lao Lin Lu, I heard the moonlight is even more beautiful there, and maybe we can find new inspirations."Zh: 在这个中秋的夜晚，魏虽然错过了比赛，但他赢得了心灵的宁静。En: On this Zhongqiu Festival night, although Wei missed the contest, he gained peace of mind.Zh: 他学会了在家族期许和自己梦想之间的平衡，这才是他真正的胜利。En: He learned to balance family expectations and his own dreams, and that was his true victory.Zh: 山村的夜空繁星点点，温暖的灯光从各家各户透出，映衬着内心的安宁与满足。En: The night sky over the mountain village was dotted with stars, and warm lights shone from the homes, reflecting inner peace and satisfaction.

Do voleb do Poslanecké sněmovny zbývá týden. Co mohou být rozhodující momenty ve finále kampaně? - Doteď jsme neviděli střet Petra Fialy a Andreje Babiše, může to mít zásadní vliv, myslí si sociolog Martin Buchtík.Co dalšího by ještě na poslední chvíli mohlo významně ovlivnit volby? Dostanou se do Sněmovny strany balancující na hraně volitelnosti? A proč je letos tolik lidí stále nerozhodnutých?Témata pro Marii Bastlovou a sociologa a šéfa výzkumné agentury STEM Martina Buchtíka v závěrečném díle speciálu Ptám se já – Rok voleb.I před letošními parlamentními volbami mají voliči možnost sledovat velké množství debat a duelů kandidátů, ať už na televizních obrazovkách, v rozhlase nebo v online médiích. Dosud se ale nedočkali střetu dvou hlavních rivalů o post příštího premiéra, lídra Spolu Petra Fialy a šéfa ANO Andreje Babiše. Jejich duel by se měl odehrát ve středu na Prima CNN News a poté ve čtvrtek na Nově. Pozvání do debaty na ČT Babiš nepřijal.„Právě finální debaty, zejména Fialy a Babiše, můžou mít zásadní vliv na rozhodování některých voličů. Pak to také může být případná nenadálá eskalace konfliktu Ruska a Ukrajiny, další dron nad Polskem, stíhačka nad Estonskem. Nebo výslechy svědků v kauze Dozimetr. To můžou být poměrně významné faktory,“ vyjmenovává sociolog Martin Buchtík a pokračuje:  „Významné může být i jednoznačně připravené finále kampaní. Protože jestli žádné finále nepřijde, tak to bude z mého pohledu velké zklamání. Protože všichni slibují, že už opravdu začnou a zatím to zase tak vidět není.“ Plujeme na severo, severo, severozápadV průzkumech dlouhodobě vede s velkým náskokem opoziční hnutí ANO před koalicí Spolu. Doteď se zdálo, že dominanci hnutí expremiéra Andreje Babiše nic neohrožuje. Poslední průzkum agentury STEM zveřejněný ve čtvrtek ale ukázal, že podpora hnutí nečekaně klesla o téměř tři procentní body na 28 procent. Jedná se o nejhorší výsledek ANO od ledna, kdy STEM s průzkumy začal. Druhá koalice Spolu by měla 21 procent. Třetí by se do Sněmovny dostalo SPD, čtvrté STAN a pátí Piráti. Potřebnou pětiprocentní hranici by těsně překonali i Motoristé a Stačilo!.Značí náhlý propad ANO nějakou významější změnu nálad voličů? „Kdybych to řekl námořnickou terminologií, tak kdybychom pluli doteď na sever, tak teď plujeme na severo, severo, severo, severo, severozápad. Jinými slovy, to posunutí je velmi malé, o žádnou zásadní otočku nejde,“ upozorňuje sociolog. Část voličů ANO se podle něj odklonila zejména k hnutí SPD. „Do volební kampaně teď vstoupily silněji menší strany, které nemůžou dělat permanentní kampaň, protože to buď neumí, nebo nemají peníze na kampaň. A tím pádem hnutí ANO teď není zase tak dominantně všude vidět, protože to přehlušují i další kampaně. Další faktor mohou být televizní diskuze, kde ANO trochu zaniká.“„Teď je to jejich nejslabší výsledek. Ale je dost možné, že k nedělnímu modelu, který se bude zveřejňovat ještě před moratoriem jako poslední veřejný průzkum, se to číslo bude nějakým způsobem korigovat,“ říká Buchtík s tím, že se dá stále předpokládat, že Andrej Babiš ve volbách opět získá více než 27 procent hlasů podobně jako naposledy. --V bonusovém projektu pořadu Ptám se já – Rok voleb moderátorka Marie Bastlová a sociolog Martin Buchtík glosují zásadní trendy a témata letošních sněmovních voleb.  Sledujte na Seznam Zprávách, poslouchejte na Podcasty.cz a ve všech podcastových aplikacích.Archiv všech dílů najdete tady.

Fluent Fiction - Korean: Chuseok Brews: Discovering Friendship in a Coffee Roastery Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ko/episode/2025-09-25-22-34-02-ko Story Transcript:Ko: 커피 로스터리 안에는 따뜻한 가을 공기가 감돌고 있었다.En: Inside the coffee roastery, warm autumn air was circulating.Ko: 짙은 커피 향이 바닥에 깔린 나무 테이블을 감싸고, 전통적인 추석 장식이 곳곳에 놓여 있었다.En: The strong aroma of coffee enveloped the wooden tables on the floor, and traditional Chuseok decorations were placed here and there.Ko: 진희는 이곳의 메인 바리스타였다.En: Jin-hee was the main barista here.Ko: 그녀는 추석을 맞아 특별한 커피 블렌드를 찾고 있었다.En: She was looking for a special coffee blend to celebrate Chuseok.Ko: 성공적인 프로모션을 위해 완벽한 커피를 준비하고 싶었다.En: She wanted to prepare the perfect coffee for a successful promotion.Ko: 어느 날, 진희는 바쁘게 커피를 내리고 있었다.En: One day, Jin-hee was busy brewing coffee.Ko: 그때, 문이 열리고 한 남자가 천천히 들어왔다.En: At that moment, the door opened, and a man walked in slowly.Ko: 그는 카메라를 손에 들고 있었고, 바로 진희의 고등학교 동창, 민준이었다.En: He was holding a camera, and it was none other than Jin-hee's high school classmate, Min-jun.Ko: "오랜만이야, 진희!En: "Long time no see, Jin-hee!"Ko: " 민준이 환하게 웃으며 말했다.En: Min-jun said with a bright smile.Ko: "사진 찍으러 왔어.En: "I came to take pictures.Ko: 가을 분위기가 정말 좋네.En: The autumn atmosphere is really nice."Ko: "진희는 민준을 반가워하면서도 마음 한구석이 복잡했다.En: While Jin-hee was glad to see Min-jun, a part of her felt complicated.Ko: 그녀는 민준이 게으르고 즉흥적인 성격이라 생각했다.En: She thought of Min-jun as lazy and impulsive.Ko: 하지만 그녀는 이미 여러 문제들에 지쳐 있었다.En: However, she was already worn out from various problems.Ko: 그녀는 마지못해 도움을 요청했다.En: Reluctantly, she asked for help.Ko: "민준, 나 사실 좀 바빠.En: "Min-jun, I'm actually quite busy.Ko: 이번 추석에 커피 이벤트 할 거야.En: We're holding a coffee event for Chuseok.Ko: 너도 도와줄 수 있어?En: Can you help out?"Ko: " 진희가 물었다.En: Jin-hee asked.Ko: "물론이지.En: "Of course.Ko: 내가 이곳의 순간들을 담아줄게.En: I'll capture the moments here."Ko: "이벤트 날, 로스터리는 손님들로 북적였다.En: On the day of the event, the roastery was bustling with guests.Ko: 진희의 계획은 차질 없이 진행되는 듯했지만, 작은 혼란이 일어났다.En: Jin-hee's plan seemed to be proceeding without a hitch, but a small commotion ensued.Ko: 커피 원두가 갑자기 떨어졌고, 긴장감이 감돌았다.En: They suddenly ran out of coffee beans, and tension filled the air.Ko: 진희는 민준에게 도움을 요청했다.En: Jin-hee asked Min-jun for help.Ko: "진희, 너무 걱정 마.En: "Jin-hee, don't worry too much.Ko: 우린 이 상황을 즐기고, 사람들 모습도 카메라에 담자.En: Let's enjoy this situation and capture the people on camera."Ko: "진희는 불안했지만, 민준의 여유로운 태도에 마음을 열었다.En: Although Jin-hee was anxious, she opened her heart to Min-jun's relaxed manner.Ko: 두 사람은 함께 손님들에게 커피를 대접하고, 민준은 손님들의 자연스러운 모습을 카메라에 담았다.En: The two served coffee together to the guests, and Min-jun captured the guests' natural appearances with his camera.Ko: 그 순간, 진희는 완벽함 뒤에 있는 진정한 아름다움을 발견했다.En: In that moment, Jin-hee discovered the true beauty behind perfection.Ko: 이벤트는 성공적으로 끝났다.En: The event finished successfully.Ko: 민준이 찍은 사진은 로스터리의 따뜻하고 축제 분위기를 완벽히 담아냈다.En: The photos Min-jun took perfectly captured the warm and festive atmosphere of the roastery.Ko: 진희는 비로소 완벽하지 않아도 괜찮다는 것을 깨달았다.En: Jin-hee finally realized that it was okay not to be perfect.Ko: 그녀는 더 나은 리더가 되기 위해 협력과 유연함을 배웠다.En: She learned cooperation and flexibility to become a better leader.Ko: 민준은 준비의 중요성을 이해하고, 사람들을 바라보는 새로운 시각을 얻었다.En: Min-jun understood the importance of preparation and gained a new perspective on looking at people.Ko: 두 사람은 서로의 변화된 모습을 바라보며 환하게 웃었다.En: The two looked at each other's changed selves and smiled brightly.Ko: 그날 이후, 진희의 로스터리는 지속적으로 성장했다.En: After that day, Jin-hee's roastery continued to grow.Ko: 그리고 민준의 사진은 사람들 사이에서 인기를 얻었다.En: And Min-jun's photos gained popularity among people.Ko: 가을의 마지막 잎이 떨어지기 전, 진희와 민준은 인생의 또 다른 페이지를 열었다.En: Before the last leaf of autumn fell, Jin-hee and Min-jun opened another page of life's journey.

„Poctivě učit znamená dotýkat se toho, co je v lidské bytosti životně nejdůležitější. Znamená to hledat přístup k tomu nejcitlivějšímu a nejvnitřnějšímu v osobnosti dítěte i dospělého. Mistr útočí, proniká, pustoší, aby mohl vyčistit a znovu postavit,“ poznamenává George Steiner v knize Lekce mistrů. Zvlášť zaujme závěr citované pasáže: tento literární vědec a celoživotní učitel je přesvědčen, že každá výuka je svým způsobem násilná. Musí narušit způsob, jakým dítě či mladý člověk běžně myslí, a podrobit jej disciplíně.S vděkem proto Steiner v týdeníku Die Zeit vzpomíná na učitelku starořečtiny, která po žácích házela křídy. „Musíme se bát. Potřebujeme staromódní disciplínu při učení, a pak se z toho stane radost. Obrátí se to. Jednoho dne si řekneme: I já umím číst Homéra.“ Steiner tímto přístupem zosobňuje tu linii západní intelektuální tradice, která počítá s tím, že vztah mezi učitelem a žákem bývá spojen i se zraňováním – často oboustranným.Jiný postoj zastává Komenský. V jeho koncepci není učitel mág s právem manipulace, ale zahradník, který své žáky nenásilně vede. „Učitel má napodobovat přírodu: nic neurychluje, nic nevynechává, ale všechno činí ve svůj čas a postupně,“ poznamenává v Didactica magna. V otázce kázně se však Steiner i Komenský zas potkávají. Heslo škola hrou nelze zaměňovat za škola zábavou.Jak Steiner, tak třeba Jan Patočka, který Komenského dílo svébytně rozvíjí, zdůrazňují, že dvacáté století – ač se označuje za století výchovy – je jedinečné svou vnitřní nevychovaností a neukázněností. Představa úcty k učiteli či mistrovi je dnes téměř směšná. Ale jsme pak ještě vůbec schopni učit druhé – a učit sebe?I. Kdo má učit? Zahradník, nebo kouzelník?

“Our names are the stories we carry into the world.”“名字，是我们带入世界的故事。”My Chinese name is Li Zi-Jin (李姿锦), and my father said he personally chose it for me. Li is an extremely common surname—you can find people with the same family name everywhere in Taiwan. Yet, as a child, I felt different because of this name, since the great Tang dynasty poet Li Bai also carried the surname Li. That connection gave me an extra sense of pride and belonging. As for Zi (姿), my father chose this character because it contains both “second” (次) and “woman” (女), symbolizing that I am his second daughter. The last character, Jin (锦), is made up of “gold” (金) and “silk” (帛), representing his wishes for me to have a rich and beautiful life. As a little girl, I often felt that my name carried a mission—that my father's hopes and expectations were all packed into those thirty-two brushstrokes.我的中文名字是李姿锦，爸爸说这是他亲自为我取的。李是一个极其普遍的姓氏，在台湾到处都能遇到同姓的人。然而，小时候的我却因为唐代大诗人李白也姓李，而觉得自己与众不同。这样的联想，让我对这个姓氏多了一份骄傲与归属感。至于“姿”，爸爸选这个字，是因为它的结构里有“次”和“女”，象征我是他的第二个女儿。而“锦”由“金”与“帛”组成，代表他对我的期待——希望我能拥有富足而美好的生活。小时候的我常觉得，名字就像一个使命，爸爸的心愿和期待全都压在这三十二划里。When I was in elementary school, my name became the subject of jokes among classmates. They loved to mimic the sound of “Li Zi Jin” saying it sounded like “ni zi ji” (“yourself” in Mandarin). Outwardly, I laughed along, but inside I felt embarrassed. What's more, the last character of my name, Jin, was often misread as Mian (It means cotton in Chinese). Eventually, to avoid awkwardness, I let some teachers or strangers call me “Zi-Mian” instead. Looking back, those jokes were probably harmless, but they did plant a seed in me about the connection between names and identity.小学时期，我的名字常成为同学的玩笑。他们喜欢模仿“李姿锦”的发音，说听起来像“你自己”。表面上我会跟着笑，心里却觉得尴尬。特别是名字最后一个字“锦”，常常被误读成“绵”。后来，为了避免尴尬，我干脆让一些老师或陌生人叫我“姿绵”。现在回头看，那些玩笑或许没有恶意，但确实让我开始思考名字与身份的关联。In the fifth grade, I got my first nickname—“Spider.” Back then, it was trendy in class to change the last character of someone's name to “Pig.”(猪） So Zi-Zhu (姿猪) became “Spider” (蜘蛛). My good friend Yashi even designed a spider logo for me: an oval with a smiling face, a bow on its head, and eight little legs. That time of my life was filled with pure joy. We always signed each other's cards with this little spider, as if it was a secret code and a symbol of our friendship.五年级时，我有了第一个绰号——“蜘蛛”。当时班上流行把名字最后一个字改成“猪”，于是“姿猪”就变成了“蜘蛛”。我的好友雅诗甚至帮我设计了一个蜘蛛签名：一个椭圆里画着笑脸，头上戴着蝴蝶结，还有八只脚。那段日子充满了单纯快乐，我们总会在彼此的卡片上画上这只小蜘蛛，就像是一种友情的暗号和象征。After graduating from high school, I left my hometown of Kaohsiung and moved north to attend Fu Jen Catholic University. My entire social circle changed. I became obsessed with fashion and makeup, copying styles from the Japanese magazine Cawaii: heavy eyeliner, bleached blonde hair, and miniskirts to class. But my attempts made me the subject of ridicule for some Taipei classmates. They secretly gave me a nickname, “Xiao Baihe” (Little Lily), because they thought I looked like a hostess from a nightclub, and those who works at the nightclub always have a flower name. Still, I didn't mind at all. In fact, I thought “Xiao Baihe” was beautiful, and I even enjoyed being called that. Looking back, that experience taught me to stop caring too much about others' opinions and instead focus on my own preferences and self-expression.高中毕业后，我从高雄北上到辅仁大学，生活圈完全改变。我开始迷上时尚与化妆，模仿日本杂志《Cawaii》的风格：浓浓的眼线、染成金色的头发、穿着迷你裙上课。但这些尝试却成了部分台北同学取笑的对象。他们私下给我取了个花名“小百合”，因为觉得我打扮得像酒店小姐——而酒店小姐总会用花名。尽管如此，我一点也不介意，反而觉得“小百合”很好听，甚至乐于被这样称呼。回头看，这段经历让我学会不再过度在意他人的眼光，而是专注于自己的喜好与表达。My first English name was Josephine, chosen by my very first English teacher. But I quickly felt it was too long and changed it to Joyce. It wasn't until I started teaching English myself that I finally decided on the name I still use today—Lily. I liked the simplicity and grace of “Lily,” which brings to mind the pure lily flower and also echoed my college nickname. Some students who knew my Chinese surname would sometimes call me “Lily Li,” but I didn't like that combination—it felt too plain. After my engagement, I began using my fiancé's surname, Wong, and became “Lily Wong.” Even after our divorce, I insisted on keeping this name. For me, it was not only a way to remember that love, but also a way to redefine my own identity.我的第一个英文名字是 Josephine，这是我第一位英文老师帮我取的，但我很快嫌它太长，就改成了 Joyce。直到我开始教英文时，我才决定用现在这个名字——Lily。我喜欢“Lily”的简洁与优雅，让人联想到纯洁的百合花，也与我的大学绰号呼应。有些学生知道我的中文姓氏，会叫我“Lily Li”，但我不喜欢这个组合，觉得太普通。订婚后，我开始使用未婚夫的姓氏“Wong”，成了“Lily Wong”。即使离婚之后，我仍然坚持保留这个名字，因为它不仅是对那段爱情的纪念，更是我对自我身份的重新定义。Nowadays, almost no one calls me by my Chinese name anymore. As I've traveled the world, a few friends have tried to learn it, but pronunciation has always been a challenge. So they prefer to call me Lily—simple, convenient, and making our interactions much easier.如今，几乎没有人再叫我的中文名字了。随着我走遍世界，虽然有些朋友尝试学会它，但发音始终是一个挑战。所以他们更习惯叫我 Lily——简单、方便，也让交流更轻松。Today, my name has become part of my personal brand, Fly with Lily. From “Li Zi-Jin” to “Lily Wong,” each version of my name reflects a stage of growth and transformation. I've come to see that a name is not only a label but also a vessel of stories, carrying the ways we draw strength from the past and choose to live authentically in the present. In the future, whether my name changes again or not, I hope it will continue to convey my values: love, gratitude, freedom, exploration, and abundance.如今，我的名字已经成为我个人品牌 Fly with Lily 的一部分。从“李姿锦”到“Lily Wong”，名字的每一个阶段都反映了我的成长与转变。我发现，名字不仅是符号，更是承载故事的容器，见证我们如何从过去汲取力量，并选择真实地活在当下。未来，无论名字是否再改变，我都希望它能继续传递我的价值观：爱、感恩、自由、探索与丰盛。我的网站是flywithlily.com

Jin Liu is a Southern California–based Snow Peak ambassador who loves good gear, stunning views, and documenting adventures through photography. Living with a congenital heart condition has shaped Jin's style of camping—slower, cozier, and focused on simplicity. Instead of hauling tons of equipment or wasting precious time on setup and breakdown, Jin embraces gear that makes camping easy and meaningful. Out in nature, it's all about embracing life and making forever memories with her dog, Winston.I first met Jin like I met most of my camping homies… online! I was initially drawn to the overall aesthetic of her camping setup…cozy, practical, not overcrowded, but with just enough flair and gear to cover all the bases of what you would need and want at camp. Jin is an artist, there's no doubt about it, crafting her camping setups to accommodate and inspire based on the people in the group she is camping with. She led a workshop at Snow Peak Way where fellow campers were able to make their own delicious dish…which, I might add, included the best potatoes I've ever had. She not only feeds her campers' tummies but also nurtures their souls. Jin was our camp neighbor at SPW and so glad I got to spend time and share delicious food with her family and friends…extra shout out to Winston and Topher… the bestest camp dogs. (B-roll shots on IG and TT Reels of Jin's set up, I'll try to have more in the vlog as well)

"Can physical activity really help you sleep better and manage stress?" In this third episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues the conversation with sleep researcher Jin Wen, exploring how physical activity interacts with sleep and stress. Jin discusses how daily movement can improve sleep quality and reduce stress, but it's not just about burning energy. She shares insights from research showing that regular physical activity helps maintain homeostasis, which can lead to better sleep and lower stress levels. Jin also introduces the SATED model, which evaluates different aspects of sleep, including satisfaction, alertness, timing, and duration. This holistic approach helps people understand how sleep quality goes beyond just getting enough hours of rest. Additionally, Jin highlights a growing issue in modern life - revenge sleep procrastination, where people sacrifice sleep to reclaim personal time, potentially affecting both their sleep and long-term health. If you want to learn how physical activity, sleep, and stress are interconnected, this episode is filled with practical insights and research findings. --- This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS. --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy - Learn more about Fibion Research. --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion  Check us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher 

Čtení s Respektem s filozofem Matejem Cíbikem o aktuální kondici liberalismu ve střední Evropě, vnitřních rozporech systému, hloupých i nebezpečných politikách ohrožujících liberální stát a jeho nové knize. Moderuje Štěpán Sedláček.Liberalismus - pro jedny představuje vytoužený systém spojený s hodnotami jako je svoboda, rovnost emancipovaných občanů a vzájemný respekt a to i ve vztahu ke státu. Liberálně demokratické uspořádání funguje jako hrací pole se spravedlivými pravidly umožňující soutěž různých myšlenek a přístupů ve veřejné debatě, trhu i politice, kde má mít každý člověk šanci bez ohledu na svůj původ. Jiným zní označení liberál a liberální stát v uších jako výsměch z úst kosmopolitních elit a obyvatel metropolí, nálepka ospravedlňující neoliberální postupy a sílící ekonomickou či majetkovou nerovnost nebo jako ideologie, která pro někoho nebezpečně relativizuje určité tradice a identity. A nezanedbatelná část lidí také pokukuje po jiných teoriích a systémech v nichž jednotlivec není stavěn takto vysoko. A právě o různých podobách liberalismu ve střední Evropě, jeho kondici, nepochopení i ohrožení mluví v rozhovoru slovenský filosof Matej Cíbik, který působí na CEU ve Vídní, učí na Univerzitě Pardubice, a je autorem nové knihy Liberálové a ti druzí (Academia, 2025). V čem vidí hlavní ohrožení liberální demokracie ve střední Evropě. Jaké pesimistické a optimistické scénáře může čekat Maďarsko, Slovensko i Česko po parlamentních volbách?

"Does poor sleep impact your stress more than stress affects your sleep?" In this second episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues his insightful discussion with sleep researcher Jin Wen, diving deeper into the fascinating relationship between daily stress and sleep. Jin explains that while stress and sleep influence each other, poor sleep has a more direct impact on how we handle stress the next day. This episode explores the nuances of how sleep acts like a reset button, and when that reset is faulty, it can shape our reactions to daily hassles. Jin also sheds light on how chronic stress differs from daily stress and how physiological markers like cortisol play a role in both. She discusses the use of objective measures such as cortisol and heart rate variability in understanding the body's response to stress and sleep quality. If you're curious about the science of sleep, stress, and their effects on your daily life, this episode provides thought-provoking insights and practical research findings. ---   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS. --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy - Learn more about Fibion Research. --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion  Check us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher 

"What if your sleep quality shapes not just your day, but your whole health future?" In this first episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen speaks with sleep expert Jin Wen about the fascinating relationship between sleep, stress, and daily well-being. Jin shares her journey from studying stress to focusing on sleep and explains how sleep isn't just about the number of hours you get—it's about how you feel when you wake up. Drawing on her research, Jin explores the “vicious cycle” of daily stress and poor sleep, showing how one bad night can make it harder to handle stress the next day, trapping people in a cycle of fatigue and anxiety. Jin also explains the power of subjective sleep assessments, emphasizing that how you perceive your sleep can be as important as the objective data from sleep trackers. She breaks down her research methods, including the use of ecological momentary assessments (EMA), which capture real-time data about participants' daily experiences. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how sleep influences daily functioning and long-term health. --- This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS. --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy - Learn more about Fibion Research. --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion  Check us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

There might be something important."Ko: 그녀의 발걸음은 친구들의 반대를 무시하고 숲 속으로 향했습니다.En: Ignoring her friends' objections, she ventured into the forest.Ko: 점점 더 걸어갈수록 소리는 가까워졌습니다.En: The further they walked, the closer the sound became.Ko: 그리고 마침내 진은 오래된 나무에 새겨진 신비로운 상징을 발견했습니다.En: Finally, Jin discovered a mysterious symbol carved into an old tree.Ko: 그것은 어지러운 패턴이었고, 누군가 의도적으로 새겨놓은 듯했습니다.En: It was an intricate pattern, clearly etched with intent.Ko: 진은 손끝으로 그 표면을 살며시 만지며 깊은 의미를 생각했습니다.En: She gently touched the surface with her fingertips, pondering its deep meaning.Ko: “이건 단서야,” 그녀는 속삭였습니다.En: "This is a clue," she whispered.Ko: “우리 조상들과 연결되어 있을 수도 있어.”En: "It might be connected to our ancestors."Ko: 그날 밤, 진은 그 자리가 정글 같아서 거기서 나가기 어려울 줄 알았습니다.En: That night, Jin feared the area was like a jungle, making escape seem difficult.Ko: 다행히도, 옆에서 민서와 수진이 돕고 있었습니다.En: Fortunately, Minseo and Sujin were there to help.Ko: 함께 협력하여 숲의 길을 찾았습니다.En: Together, they navigated through the forest.Ko: 그러면서, 진은 갑자기 조롱조로 덮여있는 또 다른 표식을 발견했습니다.En: As they did, Jin suddenly noticed another marker covered in moss.Ko: 그것은 마치 지도를 닮아 보였습니다.En: It looked like a map.Ko: “이건 계보로 돌아가는 길이야,” 그녀는 놀란 표정으로 외쳤습니다.En: "This is the way back to our roots," she exclaimed with a surprised expression.Ko: 새로운 발견에 진은 친구들과 힘을 합쳐 길을 찾았습니다.En: Inspired by the new discovery, Jin and her friends united to find their way out.Ko: 그들이 무사히 공원 입구로 돌아왔을 때, 진은 단조로운 일상에 대한 새로운 관점을 얻었습니다.En: When they safely returned to the park entrance, Jin gained a newfound perspective on her mundane routine.Ko: 현대 생활과 조상의 전통을 연결하는 실마리를 찾은 것입니다.En: She found a thread linking modern life to her ancestors' traditions.Ko: 추석이 되자, 진은 가족들과 새로운 발견을 나눴습니다.En: When Chuseok arrived, Jin shared her new discovery with her family.Ko: 그녀의 이야기는 모두에게 큰 감동을 주었고 가족들은 서로 더 가까워졌습니다.En: Her story greatly moved everyone, bringing her family closer together.Ko: 그 후로, 진은 전통과 현대를 융합하는 법을 더 잘 이해하게 되었고 자체의 정체성에 대한 자신감을 갖게 되었습니다.En: Since then, Jin has gained a better understanding of how to blend tradition with modernity and has developed confidence in her own identity.Ko: 이렇게 설악산에서의 하루는 그녀에게 잊지 못할 기억이 되었습니다.En: The day at Seoraksan became an unforgettable memory for her.

Als 2022 die junge iranische Kurdin Jina Mahsa Amini in Polizeigewahrsam in Teheran stirbt, ändert sich das Leben der Menschen in Iran – und auch aller Menschen, die längst aus Iran geflohen sind. In Azizam – Die Revolution meiner Mama zeichnet SWR-Journalistin Aida Amini die Geschichte ihrer Mutter Malihe nach, für die Jina Masha Aminis Tod vieles ändert. Malihe wandert Mitte der 90er Jahre von Iran nach Deutschland aus, damit sie und ihre Töchter in Freiheit leben können. Sie erzählt von ihrer Jugend in Iran, über Angst vor der Sittenpolizei, von „verbotener“ Popkultur hinter verschlossenen Türen und von einer Generation, die gelernt hat, möglichst nicht aufzufallen. Sie zieht in die deutsche Provinz, gründet eine Familie, beginnt ein neues Leben weit weg von ihrer Heimat. Nach dem Tod von Jina Mahsa Amini und den „Jin, Jiyan, Azadi“-Proteste in Iran verändert sich was in Malihe. Sie schöpft neue Hoffnung, dass sich in ihrem Heimatland endlich etwas verändern kann. Der Podcast zeigt, wie die Hoffnung der protestierenden Jugend in Iran in der iranischen Diaspora ankommt – und was sie mit Selbstbildern macht. Zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben zieht es Aidas Eltern in Deutschland auf die Straße. Und Aida fragt sich im Verlauf des Podcasts zunehmend: Was ist hier eigentlich meine Rolle? Als Journalistin, als deutsche Iranerin, als politischer Mensch?

With the end of the Jinshin War, Oama, posthumously known as Temmu Tenno, came to the throne.  And though they would need a new Great Council of State, they continued to build up and bolster the Ritsuryo state.  They were imagining a new Yamato based on continental models of what a state should look like, but also influenced by tradition.  This episode we take a look at that reimagining in broad strokes, asking a few questions--what was Oama's relationship with his brother, and touching on the relationship of Nakatomi no Kamatari and his brother, Nakatomi no Kane.  We also take a look at some of the literary propaganda that also helped to codify this new imaginary--the Nihon Shoki and the Kojiki.  We also touch on other sourcesof information, like the Fudoki and Man'yoshu. For more information, check out our blog:  https://sengokudaimyo.com/podcast/episode-133   Rough Transcript Welcome to Sengoku Daimyo's Chronicles of Japan.  My name is Joshua, and this is episode 133: Reimagining Yamato As the bells of Houkouji tolled, Ohoama and his wife, Uno, surveyed the construction on going in the Asuka valley.  Hordes of workers had been called up, and now they were working furiously towards the deadline of the new year.  Where once stood the later Wokamoto palace of Takara Hime, aka Ohoama's mother, Saimei Tennou, now the land was being prepared for a palace on a much grander scale.  And just as the palace was being remade, Ohoama's thoughts went beyond the valley, to the entire archipelago.  His brother, Naka no Oe, had started something profound.  Now here he was, helming the Ship of State, and Ohoama had plans of his own, built upon his brother's ideas.  He would build a new state, ensuring that the reforms that started back in 645 would continue for generations. Greetings everyone and welcome back.  As we dive back in, let's recap where we are. The year is now 673, and the fighting from the previous year—the Jinshin war—is over.  Prince Ohoama and his Yoshino forces were victorious and he is now poised to ascend the throne in the recently built Palace of Kiyomihara, in Asuka.  He will be known to future generations by his posthumous name:  Temmu Tennou. Ohoama would go ahead and continue to centralize the government under the continental model.  That said, he also would pay a not insignificant amount of attention to local tradition as well.  His reign would lead to the establishment of the first permanent capital city: Fujiwara-kyo.  He is also credited with initiating the projects collecting various historical records, which culminated in the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, the very chronicles on which this podcast is based – and both of which seem to have been designed specifically to promote the authority of the throne, specifically Ohoama and his descendants. Those descendants—the Temmu dynasty—would rule for almost a century, including four of the eight official female sovereigns (those eight become ten if you count the unofficial Himiko and Okinaga Tarashi-hime, aka Jingu Tennou).  This dynasty would reign from the end of the Asuka period up through to the Nara period, and it would see the evolution of the Yamato state into the kingdom of Nihon—which is to say the kingdom of Japan. The politics of this period were also quite something.  It is during this coming period that we see the rise of the famous Fujiwara family, who would come to dominate the political landscape.  We also see the continued contact with the mainland, with numerous trade goods coming over, many of which would be included in the famous Shousouin storehouse of Toudaiji temple, in Nara. Buddhism would also thrive, with Kokubunji, or provincial temples, being set up in a network around the archipelago.  There was also the building of the famous Daibutsu, or Giant Buddha statue, of Toudaiji. Art would also flourish.  The Man'yoshu would be published at this time—a collection of around 4,500 Japanese poems, or waka.  Meanwhile, the court would also focus on continental styles as well.  From this point on, not only do we have more evidence of what was happening through the written record, but the writing itself changed.  Different Sinitic characters were borrowed solely for their sound to help spell out Japanese words.  These would eventually be simplified, and known as “kana”.  The earliest use of these characters is known as “Man'yo-gana” because so many are traced back to the Man'yoshu itself.  They would eventually be standardized and simplified, becoming the hiragana and katakana we know and use today. But in 673, all of this is still on the horizon. So this is a great time to pause for a bit in our journey through the chronicles and set the stage for this next, incredibly transformative period in the archipelago by going over these larger patterns in some depth, so that, as we start to go through this period we get a better idea of just what was happening, and perhaps why.  That's what we'll do this episode. To start with, let's go back to the relationship between Naka no Oe and Ohoama.  As far as we can tell, these brothers were fairly close to one another.  Not only was Ohoama married to one of Naka no Oe's daughters, Princess Uno, he had actually taken as consort at least four of Naka no Oe's other daughters—all of which were Ohoama's nieces.  In turn, one of Ohoama's own daughters, Princess Touchi, had been married off to Ohotomo, aka the ill-fated Koubun Tennou.  On top of that, Naka no Oe and Ohoama both had taken as consorts daughters of Soga no Akaye, and both Ohotomo and Ohoama had consorts from Nakatomi—or Fujiwara—no Kamatari.  This demonstrates just how interrelated everyone was at court, presumably as a means of strengthening the ties between them.  Of course, as we've seen time and again, those ties were more symbolic than anything else, and certainly did not prevent the occasional use of violence, nor did it protect the fathers of those women from political repercussions when they found themselves on the wrong side. On the other hand, beyond the initial mention of their births, we don't see the two brothers together until Naka no Oe came to the throne.  Why?  Well, to be fair, we don't see much of anyone but the sovereign in the Chronicles unless there is a specific thing they are called out for—like an embassy, presenting something to the throne, etc.  Even Naka no Oe often isn't mentioned directly, even when he was the Crown Prince and supposedly helping run the government.  So that could be it. There are two apparent counter arguments to the idea that Naka no Oe and his brother, Ohoama, were tight.  First is a mention in the Toushi Kaden, the Family History of the Fujiwara Family, about Ohoama thrusting a spear into a board, which rattled Naka no Oe enough that he was apparently wondering if he needed to have his own brother taken out.  Then there is Ohoama's resignation at the time of Naka no Oe's death, presumably because he was warned that a plot was afoot, and that if he accepted Naka no Oe's offer to take the reins of the state in his own two hands then something—we aren't told what—would unfold. I can't rule out the idea that neither of those accounts is quite accurate either, however.  It is possible that the Toushi Kaden account is embellished to heighten Fujiwara no Kamatari's own role as peacemaker between the brothers.  I also have to wonder if the warning to Ohoama around Naka no Oe's death wasn't so much about Naka no Oe, but about his ministers.  After all, they seem to have had no problem supporting the much younger—and likely more malleable—Prince Ohotomo.  So it seems to me entirely possible that there were other threats that Ohoama was concerned with. That brings me to one of those ministers:  Nakatomi no Kane.  We talked about him before and during the war.  He first showed up participating in ritual and speaking on kami matters.  He would later rise to be one of the Great Ministers of State, and was one of the six ministers who had pledged themselves to Prince Ohotomo.  At the end of the Jinshin War, he was put to death and his family was banished.  That said, in period leading up to all of that,  we spent a good amount of time with another Nakatomi: Nakatomi no Kamatari. He was the head of the Nakatomi clan and the Naidaijin, the Interior Minister, a special position placing him on par, or even above, the Ministers of the Left and Right, but which did not have a well defined portfolio noted in the literature.  Interestingly, this position also doesn't seem to have survived Kamatari, at least in the short run.  From the time of Naka no Oe, aka Tenji Tennou, to the time of Ohoama, aka Temmu Tennou, it seems that the office of Naidaijin fell out of favor, possibly due, in part, to Prince Ohotomo being raised to a different post, that of Dajou Daijin, placing him in charge of the Great Council of State. The Naidaijin role wouldn't be revived until 717 for Kamatari's grandson, Fujiwara no Fusasaki (interestingly,  only three years before the completion of the Nihon Shoki). Nakatomi no Kane was, as far as we can tell, the brother to Kamatari.  When Kamatari passed away, Kane seems to have taken on the role as head of the Nakatomi family and he was also made Minister of the Right.  This mirrors, in its way, the relationship between Naka no Oe and Ohoama, and the common system of inheritance that would often go brother to brother.  And yet, while Kamatari was a hero of the Taika era, Nakatomi no Kane was executed for his role in the Jinshin War.  So in the context of the rise of the Fujiwaras to greater prominence later on in Ohoama's reign, it is significant that Kamatari's line would be set apart from the rest of the Nakatomi to the extent of giving it the new Fujiwara name.  Although the Chronicles claim that the “Fujiwara” name was actually granted by Naka no Oe, there is a thought that this was granted posthumously, and may have even been retconned by later members of the family, possibly to distance themselves from Nakatomi no Kane and his role on the losing side of the Jinshin War, and tie themselves clearly to Kamatari and his founding role in Naka no Oe's and Ohoama's new vision, instead.  This all brings me to my next point: the creation of the national histories.  The projects that culminated in what we know today as the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki are said to have been started under Ohoama's reign, though they wouldn't be finished until much later, well into the 8th century.  A lot of what went into them was work under Ohoama's wife Uno, who succeeded him as Jitou Tennou, as well as her successors.  Prince Toneri, one of Ohoama's sons, is said to have overseen the Nihon Shoki's compilation. Prince Toneri was son of Ohoama and princess Niitabe, one of Naka no Oe's daughters, and while he never sat the throne, himself, one of his sons would eventually do so.  As such, we can see a strong royal hand on the project, even though the actual composition was probably by several teams of Chroniclers—we touched on this briefly back in Episode 131. The Kojiki, on the other hand, is said to have been written by Oho no Yasumaro based on the oral history that had been maintained by Hieda no Are.  We don't know much about Hieda no Are—there are some that believe they may have been a woman, since a passage in a later work, the Seikyuuki, suggests that they were a member of the Sarume no Kimi family, descended from Ame no Uzume no Mikoto, who is said to have danced and helped lure Amaterasu out of the rock cave.  And so they were particularly known for their role as shrine maidens—a particularly female role.  That said, Are received the title of “toneri”, which is often assumed to be male, and there is nothing else that explicitly says they were not. Either way, Hieda no Are is said to have been commanded by the sovereign, Ohoama, to memorize the history of the nation, presumably to then perform it as needed, for the court.  Only later was Oho no Yasumaro asked to write it down in what became known as the Kojiki. Both of these chronicles were attempts to organize the history of the nation and to put together all the stories in a way that would establish a foundation for the new state that was evolving out of ancient Yamato.  A large part of that effort was going to be to justify those who were in power at the time—including both the royal family and the various noble houses at the time, including the powerful Fujiwara. Now, when we talk about how these histories were created to bolster the state, I want to be careful.  It may not have necessarily been the case that the chroniclers were actively and consciously promoting a fictional account.  From what we can tell, the chroniclers drew from a collection of stories, some written down in diaries and court records, works like the Baekje annals and continental histories, and some that were likely just memorized tales that were part of the general culture.   There were a couple of existing histories—we are told, for example, that there was a Teiki and a Kyuji floating around, both attributed to the legendary Shotoku Taishi, and both supposedly including the royal lineage at least to Toyomike-kashikiya-hime, aka Suikou Tennou.  However, the copies that were being passed around were apparently suspect, and we are told that there were inconsistencies.  Which probably means that the way they told the story did not conform to the way that Ohoama and the royal family wanted it told, though it could also refer to the fact that different accounts had slight variations on the stories, many of which had probably started as oral traditions that were only later written down.  It is also likely that there was only so much detail in those ancient texts, but we can't know for sure.  The Sendai Kuji Hongi purports to be the text of the original Kyuuji, or Kyuujiki, but that claim is dubious, at best, though it may have used an older, no longer extant history to crib its own notes from. So there were probably some writings, already, but there was also so much more.  There were stories from various familial records, stories told by various shrines about their kami and their histories, and stories passed down as local history that had never been captured, previously.  All of this was good material for the project of creating an official national history that aimed to tell the whole story. To get an idea of what the Chroniclers of that time might have been going through, imagine that you have some 2,000 random facts about the United States, or any country of your choice, in no particular order—stories of heroes, presidents, wars, etc.  On top of that, only a few of them ever give you any kind reference dates, and when they do, those dates are only in relationship to the presidents in office – the third year of the presidency of Roosevelt, for example - or maybe they reference another event.  In addition, some of the facts have been lost, or they come from history books with a slightly different format.  Or they come from diaries with different perspectives and takes on the same event.  And then, without the aid of the Internet or any other reference material, you are asked to put all of that together into a coherent narrative. In all likelihood you would be able to generally construct many of the broad strokes.  You would leverage what you know to be true and do your best to put things in place, but there is no guarantee that everything would be in the right order.  And in places where there wasn't any clear through line, you may have needed to come up with your best, most plausible explanation and write that down. Also, imagine you had, in the interests of completeness, thrown in some of the more, shall we say, apocryphal stories.  George Washington cutting down a cherry tree, for instance, or the story of Johnny Appleseed, or even the more fantastical stories of Davy Crockett.  Without other reference points, would you know where they went, or how true they actually were? Add to all of that the lack of a referential calendar.  The sexagesimal system helps for units of 60 years, but there was nothing comparable to a western calendar in use at the time.  Instead, everything was based on the number of years in a given reign.  So instead of thinking about it as “did this happen in 584 or 524?” it was more like “Did this happen in the years of the sovereign reigning from X palace or Y palace?” Now that said, there do appear to have been individuals whose job was to memorize the stories and the histories and recite them.  We have, for example, the Kataribe, the guild of storytellers.  It may have been out of this tradition that we get the eventual commission of the previously mentioned Hieda no Are, who was to memorize all of the historical events and recite them back, which I can only imagine would have been a kind of performance for the court, helping to reinforce the narrative.  But still, as Are was putting everything together, what were the assumptions and guidelines they were working under? After all, there were no doubt certain truths, whether factual or not, that were pushed by the court.  Things like the idea of an unbroken line of sovereigns going all the way back to the mythical founding, just like in continental stories.  Or, the idea that worship centered from the beginning around the sun goddess, Amaterasu. There is plenty of evidence that while the early Wa people practiced various forms of sun worship, with traces found in their language as well as stories, cultural traditions, etc., it was not necessarily Amaterasu who was the primary deity of worship.  Back in the Age of the Gods we talked about the creator deities, Izanagi and Izanami, and about the High god of Heaven, Takami Musubi, who seems to at one point been the most prominent central deity, but who had since been eclipsed, if you will, by the likes of Amaterasu. We also see evidence that there were other sun deities.  The language around Sarutahiko no Ohokami suggests that he may have once been worshipped as a sun deity as well.  And there is the early primacy of Mt. Miwa as a place of worship, and the spirit of Ohomononushi.  This is to say nothing of Ohokuninushi, and all of his stories, up in Izumo. Furthermore, it seems telling that Amaterasu is not even central to the rituals conducted in the palace itself, which likely went back to an even earlier period.  If Amaterasu were central, and the ancestral kami of the royal family since its inception, one would expect that Amaterasu would also be central to the rites carried out by her descendants in the royal palace.  And yet most of her worship appears to have continued to be set apart from the palace ritual, and conducted out of Ise shrine (albeit after a certain point ceremonially led by a designated female member of the royal line). Even Ise shrine itself isn't the primary shrine in the Ise area—the Ichi-no-miya, or most important shrine, of Ise is actually said to be Tsubaki shrine, worshipping Saruta Hiko no Ohokami and Ame no Uzume. So how did Amaterasu come to be so central in Ohoama's vision? There are stories that say that worship at Ise Shrine—and worship of Amaterasu—was specifically conducted by Ohoama's wife during the Jinshin campaign.  This is to say Ohoama's wife, primary consort, eventual queen and then queen regnant, Uno, later known as Jitou Tennou.  Remember, Uno had fled with Ohoama and had been on the trail with him at first, but had stayed behind in Ise.  Worship towards Ise seems to have later been counted as foundational to Ohoama and Uno's victory, and many suspect that they themselves may subsequently have encouraged greater worship of Amaterasu and placed her in the central position of sacral authority amongst the various kami. If so, that could explain why their histories focus so much on Amaterasu and her Heavenly descendant, from which the royal line claimed direct lineage.  It might also be around this time that the story of Iwarebiko, aka Jimmu Tennou, and the conquest of Yamato from Himuka may have been introduced: telling how Iwarebiko justifiably took away the land from the descendants of Nigi Hayahi, and then connecting Iwarebiko, in an extremely loose fashion, to Mimaki Iiribiko no Mikoto, aka Sujin Tennou. Another influence on all of this was likely the continental concept that time is a circle, and history repeats itself.  Chroniclers seeking to place events in a narrative context would have likely seen reflections of more recent events and used that to help order their compilation.  And of course, if there were events that seemed to run counter to the truth as known by the court, well, those could be smoothed over.  In this way, co-rulers were probably serialized, inconvenient interim rulers may have been excised altogether, and different dynasties, which may have only had tenuous connections, at best, were written down as direct lineal descendants.  It also seems telling that the Chroniclers may have reduced the role of what appears to be matrilineal succession to a more patriarchal and patrilineal determination of legitimacy.  Similarly, connections could be made for families to ancient ancestors through whom they were able to claim a certain proximity to the royal family.  Likewise, rules for legitimacy could be imposed—or perhaps just assumed—for previous reigns, doing their best to bring them into harmony with the social norms and the cultural imaginaries of the late 7th and early 8th centuries. So that's the general context the Chroniclers were working under. But at this point it's illuminating to take a look at the two histories and how they differ, to see what we can understand about where those differences came from. The work of Hieda no Are, eventually recorded and written down as the Kojiki, seems to have dealt with history that was far enough back that it was likely hard to argue with—it isn't like there was anyone alive who could counter with their own facts.  And the Kojiki reads as a fairly straightforward narrative, relatively speaking. The Nihon Shoki, on the other hand, is a different beast.  While the Kojiki may have captured the official narrative, the Nihon Shoki seems to have been designed to include more—including some of the competing accounts.  Thus you'll get a lot of things like “another source says…” with a different take on the same event.  This is much more prevalent in the Age of the Gods, but still pops up occasionally throughout the rest of the text.  Nonetheless, it is still very much focused on the royal line from Amaterasu down to Naka no Oe and Ohoama.  Even their posthumous names, Tenji and Temmu, specifically reference Ten, also pronounced Ama, at the start of their names, in what appears to be a bid to further connect them to the sun goddess of Heavenly Brightness--Amaterasu. Both of these works have their own character, and while the dates they were presented to the throne—713 for the Kojiki and 720 for the Nihon Shoki—suggest that they were published in succession, there are those that argue that the Kojiki is largely a reaction against the Nihon Shoki. In all likelihood the contents of the Nihon Shoki were known to many people before it was presented.  There were groups of Chroniclers involved, after all -- which meant teams of scribes pouring through sources, seeking out myths and legends, and generally trying to bring everything they could to the table.  And there is no indication that this was done in secret.  So it is quite possible that the writers of the Kojiki had seen some of the early drafts and cribbed from those notes. Some of the ways that the the history differ are in their portrayal of certain accounts.  For example, the Kojiki presents Iwarebiko and the pacification of Yamato and archipelago more generally in terms of that mythical sovereign conversing with the spirits.  And so he converses with, for instance, Ohomononushi, the deity of Mt. Miwa, a spirit whose name might be translated as the Great Lord of the Spirits, or “Mono”.  This idea places the sovereign as an intercessor between the mortal and the spirit world.  It hearkens back to earlier systems of sacral kingship, where power and authority came, at least in part, from supposed power of one's sacred sites and protective spirits. The Kojiki is also written in a much more vernacular style, using kanji and what we know of as man'yogana, the kanji used for their sound, rather than meaning, to provide a syllabary with which to write out Japanese words.  This may have been done for similar reasons to why it was also used in the Man'yoshu itself—because the Kojiki was meant to be recited aloud, not just read for meaning. The Nihon Shoki, in contrast, is clearly attempting to emulate the continental style.  It relies much more heavily on not just the characters but the grammar of Chinese, though not without its own idiosyncrasies.  The Nihon Shoki incorporated classical references that mirrored the references found in the histories of the Tang and earlier dynasties.  I suspect, for instance, that this is one of the main reasons that Naka no Oe and Ohoama are given the posthumous names of “Tenji” and “Temmu”.  Tenji means something like the Wisdom of Heaven while Temmu is more like the Martial Virtue of Heaven.  This immediately brings to mind, for me, the continental concepts of Wen and Wu—Culture and Warefare, or Bunbu in Japanese.  This even mirrors the founding Zhou kings, King Wen and King Wu.  Later, in the Han dynasty, you have Emperor Wu of Han, the grandson of Emperor Wen of Han, and Wu was considered to be one of the greatest emperors of the Han dynasty.  And so I can't help but think that there was a similar attempt at mythmaking going on here, connecting these two reigns with the reigns of famous emperors of the continent.  Of course, “Wu” was a popular name amongst the imperial dynasties from that period onward, with emperors of Jin, Chen, Liang, and others all being given the same name. This all accords with the way that the sovereign in the Nihon Shoki is less of a sacral king, interceding and speaking with the kami, and more along the continental model of an absolute ruler who ruled by divine right and heavenly mandate.  The lands outside of Yamato are subdued and, except for the occasional uprising, stay subdued—or at least that is what the narrative would seemingly have us believe. Now, I would argue that these distinctions are not absolute.  The Kojiki contains plenty of concepts of imperial trappings, and the Nihon Shoki contains plenty of examples of the sovereign playing a more traditional role.  But it is something to consider in the broad strokes of what they are saying, and I would argue that it also speaks to the duality of what was going on in this period.  Clearly the Ritsuryo State was built on the continental model, with an absolute ruler who ruled through a Heavenly mandate.  And yet at the same time, we see Ohoama patronizing the traditional spiritual sites and kami worship, like the emphasis on Amaterasu and Ise shrine.  Besides the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, we have one more set of official records that were compiled just as the major histories were beginning to be finished.  These were the Fudoki.  Fudoki were texts about the various provinces, and they include information on the various places, population, soil quality, as well as various local myths and legends attached to such things.  Rather than supporting the royal lineage, the Fudoki were more geared towards supporting the process begun under Karu and Naka no Oe with the Ritsuryo system whereby knowledge of the archipelago was being centralized such that the State could know about its territories.  Still, there are many times that the various Fudoki refer to different sovereigns, often to help situate a given event roughly within the historical narrative. The Fudoki were commissioned in 713.  At least 48 chronicles were said to have been compiled, but only a handful of them remain extant today.  Most are only partial texts, though even those can still contain significant information.  We also have purported text from certain fudoki that were reprinted in later histories.  The Shaku Nihongi seems to have been one such work, expressly commissioned to try and compile various older records that were likely aging and in danger of being lost altogether.  However, there is a concern regarding just how faithful those later transcriptions might have been, meaning that we cannot rely on them, entirely.  Still, they are an invaluable addition to our study of the history of this period. I mention all of this because much of this period seems dedicated to remaking the nation of Yamato into what we know as Japan.  This evolution didn't happen overnight, and it seems clear that it started gradually, but had now come to a head.  There is some consideration, though, that many of the things attributed to earlier reigns—the work done by Shotoku Taishi, for example, or even that of Naka no Oe—may have been embellished in this period.  After all, consider the difference between Ohoama trying to institute something entirely new versus pointing back to a previous sovereign and claiming that he wasn't innovating, he was just following tradition. But there are still unmistakable signs of innovation in the following reigns.  The creation of the first permanent capital city, for one.  There was also the blending of Buddhist and local kami-based traditions.  While Buddhism had been ascendant for a while, now, we see Ohoama seemingly paying equal homage to Amaterasu and the local kami.  Even while instituting new fangled continental ideas, he is also hearkening back to traditions that I can only imagine helped assuage some of the fears of any traditionalists who saw the rapid speed at which the archipelago was adopting at least the trappings of continental imperial culture. Speaking of culture, there was one other work that we should probably mention, and that is the famous Man'yoshu—the collection of 10,000 Leaves.  I mentioned this briefly earlier in the episode, but I do want to discuss it a bit, because as much as we may glean from the official histories, as well as the various fudoki texts, the Man'yoshu provides an invaluable view into the minds of the people of the time, and contains some incredibly useful tidbits of information that, when put together, help give us a better idea of what was happening during this period. The Man'yoshu is a collection of more than 4500 poems attributed to various historical figures, from sovereigns, such as Ohoama and Naka no Oe, to common soldiers.  It is remarkable in that the poems are largely in native Japanese and are not using the Sinitic poetry styles that were popular with scholars of the time. These poems are waka, Japanese verse, which typically follows a pattern of repeating verses of 5-7-5 syllables or morae, ending with two lines of 7-7.  The most simple of these are tanka—one top verse of 5-7-5, and one bottom verse of 7-7.  However, the poems in the collection can vary quite a bit. They are also remarkable in that they are written in what we know as Man'yogana.  That is to say they use Sinitic characters—kanji—but for their sound rather than their meaning in many cases.  This practice allowed for much more nuanced writing, such that the author could be more certain that the correct meaning could be taken away, since Japanese grammar differs greatly from various Chinese languages, and leverages particles and suffixes that are non-existent in Sinitic script.  Often times, when reading something like the Nihon Shoki, one has to infer the Japanese word order, particles, and suffixes from the text as a whole.  This is common with any kanbun—a very Japanese style of Chinese writing that often requires its own study to fully understand. Meanwhile, the Man'yogana allowed someone to more easily sound out the letters in the Man'yoshu.  This must have been important when morae or syllable count was important to the art form.  Furthermore, it gives us tremendous insight into how spoken Japanese may have sounded  back in the 8th century. And of course it is great that we have all of these poems, but almost more important is the other information contained in the collection.  Most poems not only are attributed to a particular author, but they often give a brief introduction to lay out the circumstance in which the poem was composed.  These poems are, in many ways, more straightforward than many later poetic styles, which relied much more heavily on so-called “pillow words”, poetic allusions, or callbacks to previous poems—not that they were completely devoid of such references, especially to other, often continental, works. Some poems are actually paired—a type of call and response.  A man would often be expected to send a poem to a lady with whom he had recently had assignations, and she would often respond.  Through such correspondence, preserved in the poetic record, we can see connections that might not be as clear in the various historical texts. Now, 4500 is a lot of poems and I'll be honest, I'm probably not going to be researching all of them for historical tidbits, but it is nonetheless important to understand.  One should also be careful—while the poems are often attributed to various artists and famous persons, this may sometimes be misleading.  The attribution may have been garbled or forgotten, and recreated. Most of the poems in the Man'yoshu are presented with at least some amount of framing around them.  They are grouped loosely by various themes.  We are then told, for each poem, the composer and the occasion for which it was created.  Sometimes this may be as simple as “when they were out hunting”, but that still gives us some context on which to go by as for why the author was writing the poem in the first place. The poems themselves vary in size.  There are short poems, or tanka, but also longer form chōka poems, with multiple verses.  Some may allude to previous poems, but many of the poems are just about the author's feelings.  Unlike haiku, they were not quite so proscribed in terms of “pillow words” or requisite seasonal descriptions. And yet these poems, just as much as the histories, were important in capturing some part of the cultural zeitgeist from that time.  We can see what was considered popular or important, and it was there for future generations down until today. Ultimately the Kojiki would largely be overshadowed by the more comprehensive and prestigious seeming history in the Nihon Shoki.  The Nihon Shoki would become the official history, inspiring future historical records, such as the Shoku Nihongi, the continuation of the records.  The Man'yoshu, likewise, would be emulated, with future compilations like the Kokinshu. These, in turn, would impact the cultural imaginary of the time.  They would shape people's ideas about the past, about art, and even about the nature of the kami themselves.  During this period it is hard to understate just how much they were setting in place a new system.  It is even difficult to tell how much of that system had actually been instituted by previous sovereigns, even though it's hard to tell how much that actually happened as opposed to simple claims by Ohoama and, later, Uno, to justify what they were doing.  Up to this point, the Ritsuryou State and the various reforms had been an experiment, but under Ohoama we truly see that the new government upgrades would be fully installed.  At the same time, we also see a shake up in the court.  Those who had been loyal to Ohoama during the Jinshin conflict of 672 received various rewards—increased rank and stipend, for one thing.  As famous individuals passed away, they were also granted posthumous rank, which might not seem like much, but it increased the family's prestige and that of the individual's descendants without actually handing out a higher level stipend that would be a drain on the coffers.  All of this also continued to build up the elites' reliance on not just the court, but on the throne itself for their status, wealth, and position.  Thus they had a vested interest in seeing that the project succeeded. And that is the world that we are about to dive into.  Thank you, I know we didn't get into too much of the immediate history, and some of this is spoilers—after all, this took time and in the moment it could have turned out quite differently.  What if Ohoama had gotten sick and died?  What if there had been a rebellion?  What if Silla or Tang had attacked?  While we know what happened from the safety of our vantage point, far in the future, it is important to remember that at the time the people in the court didn't know what would happen next, so please keep that in mind. Next episode, we'll start to get into the actual events of the reign, starting with Ohoama's ascension to the throne at the newly built Kiyomihara palace in Asuka.

Hey ARMY! Your two favorite Unnie's here to shamelessly obsess about BTS! This week, we are covering Jin's solo! We take a deep dive into the music videos released for both Echo and Happy. We also discuss the behind-the-scenes for all the music videos. Plus, it's the return of a fan favorite... Unnie's Playlist Time returns with our recommendations from the Jin albums!Join us as we obsess over BTS and everything they have to offer!

Something strange is happening in the Music Elixir universe. Sarah shares a peculiar dream where she was Jin's girlfriend during wartime and Taehyung got a nosebleed after falling from a Segway—only for Taehyung to post about getting an actual nosebleed just days later. When the psychic portal opens between these Pisces hosts, the coincidences start flowing!We dive deep into a Rolling Stone controversial ranking of BTS solo songs, where RM's "seoul" claims the #1 spot. Surprisingly, many tracks we gushed about during our Jin concert road trip made the top 10, including Jin's "The Astronaut" at #9 and SUGA's "Snooze" featuring Ryuichi Sakamoto and WOOSUNG of The Rose at #8. But where was V's "Love Me Again"? Some rankings left us scratching our heads.Frustration boils over when discussing ARASHI's comeback strategy—why announce a return to the spotlight only to release content exclusively through their fan club that's closed to new members? Meanwhile, KAT-TUN plans a surprise one-night reunion concert despite having officially disbanded in March, and SUPER EIGHT secures their first-ever performance at the prestigious Nippon Budokan.The conversation shifts to KCON LA's organizational disaster: eliminated panels, no three-day passes, endless lines, and a convention floor dominated by beauty products with barely any artist merchandise. What happened to the KCON we loved? On a brighter note, MONSTA X officially announces their new album "The X" dropping September 1st, and we reminisce about our canceled 2020 concert tickets, hoping they'll return to Boston soon.As we approach our 250th episode milestone with listeners in 166 countries, we're proud to have defied the podcast odds. Most shows don't make it past 80 episodes, yet here we are nearly five years later, still chatting about our music obsessions. What special things might next year bring?

Už jste vybrali nejlepší stranickou hymnu, nejroztomilejší politické zvíře i nejkurióznější facku. V letní sérii politického bizáru Vlevo dole se tentokrát podíváme na celebrity, které se zapojily do kampaní.Politické strany se už tradičně před volbami snaží získat přízeň nějaké celebrity, aby ukázaly, že je mají rádi známí lidé - nejčastěji herci, zpěváci nebo sportovci. Ale se sháněním to mají čím dál těžší, málokteré z hvězd se v posledních letech chce riskovat, že občanskou angažovaností ztratí část svých fanoušků.Své by o tom mohl vyprávět třeba herec Martin Dejdar, který se v roce 2013 rozhodl v prezidentských volbách aktivně podporovat Miloše Zemana. Dejdar tím tehdy dokonce rozlítil scenáristy Jiřího Stránského a Hynka Bočana, autory Zdivočelé země. V jejich televizním seriálu o zvůli komunistického režimu v poválečném pohraničí hrál Dejdar hlavní roli Antonína Maděry, kterou podle nich podporou Zemana „zradil“.Jiné celebrity jsou zas podezírané z toho, že jejich podpora politickým stranám není zas tak nezištná. Přesně to se letos přihodilo Bolku Polívkovi: v květnu promluvil na zahájení předvolební roadshow koalice Spolu, zároveň jeho Divadlo Bolka Polívky získalo letos od města Brna vedeného primátorkou Markétou Vaňkovou z ODS rekordní dotaci, takže opozice ho viní z toho, že jde o odměnu za politickou podporu.Na nepochybně upřímnou náklonnost Jiřiny Bohdalové se ovšem může spolehnout Miloš Zeman. Herečka ho neochvějně podporuje od prezidentských voleb v roce 2013. Tu a tam se potkají dodnes. „Už mi, lásko, není dvacet let,“ zpívala Bohdalová například před dvěma roky na křtu Zemanovy knihy Spiknutí. V ní exprezident paranoidně viní z hospitalizace po volbách v roce 2021 všechny okolo, jen ne svůj zdravotní stav.Do politických kampaní se v minulosti zapojily mnohé další známé tváře. Ke stálicím rozhodně patří „pravdoláskařka“ Eva Holubová, která se občansky hodně angažuje - podporuje liberální a zelené strany. A ohromný zájem vždy byl o megastar Jaromíra Jágra - nejprve podpořil politiky ODS, později pak natočil legendární kuřecí video s Andrejem Babišem.Poslechněte si celou epizodu TOP 5 Vlevo dole a vyberte vítěze ankety!----Vlevo dole řeší politické kauzy, boje o vliv i šeptandu z kuloárů Sněmovny. Vychází každou středu v poledne.Podcast pro vás připravují Lucie Stuchlíková (@StuchlikovLucie) a Václav Dolejší (@VacDol), reportéři Seznam Zpráv.Další podcasty, ale taky články, komentáře a videa najdete na zpravodajském serveru Seznam Zprávy.

Have you ever felt completely spellbound by a performer who knows exactly how to hold your heart in their hands? That's precisely what happened when we traveled four hours across four states to witness Jin's solo concert at Newark's Prudential Center.Jin transformed the massive arena into what felt like an intimate variety show, crafting a performance that was uniquely his own. From the moment he appeared as a silhouette walking slowly down the catwalk to his explosive start with "Running Wild," he commanded every eye in the venue. His sparkly denim outfit made him look like "the Milky Way" personified – a fitting image for a star of his magnitude.What struck us most was how Jin structured the show – alternating between high-energy performances and interactive game segments where he playfully teased the audience about our Korean pronunciation. The games weren't just entertaining; they were Jin's clever way of creating breathing room between demanding vocal performances while keeping the audience thoroughly engaged. His sassy comments and playful attitude had the entire arena laughing and screaming for more.The emotional centerpiece came when Jin sat at the piano, bringing complete silence to the arena with soul-stirring renditions of "Abyss" and other ballads. When he performed "The Astronaut" while lying on the stage floor, the connection was so intense it felt like he was singing directly to each person there. That's the magic of Jin – his ability to make 10,000 people feel like they're having a one-on-one experience with him.Join us for this detailed account of three days with Jin that left us emotional, exhilarated, and completely in awe of his talents. Between shows, we navigated merchandise lines, rainstorms, and the quest for the elusive Jin ramen, creating memories that will last far beyond the final notes.

In this episode, we dive deep into Lost Season 3, Episode 2: "The Glass Ballerina." We unpack Sun and Jin's layered backstory, the tension brewing between the Others and the survivors, and that unforgettable moment when Sun shatters more than just glass. From Ben's manipulations to Sayid's tactical mind, we explore how this episode ramps up the stakes and deepens the mystery of the island. Is this the moment Sun truly comes into her own? And what does that ending say about the power dynamics at play?Then, in a sharp pivot from mysterious islands to psychological horror, we turn our attention to Zach Cregger's new film, Weapons. Following the surprise success of Barbarian, Cregger returns with another dark, mind-bending thriller that's already stirring buzz. We break down what we know so far, the cast lineup, and why Weapons might just reshape the genre the way Barbarian did. Tune in as we connect the dots between narrative tension in TV and horror in film—and why storytellers like Cregger are worth watching.Keep tuning in for more episodes of Lost and more movie recaps right here on the #talkintvpodcast

Už jste vybrali nejlepší stranickou hymnu, nejroztomilejší politické zvíře - a dnes přitvrdíme: v letní sérii politického bizáru Vlevo dole se podíváme na nejkurióznější facky, potyčky a strkanice.V epicentru tuzemské politiky na pražské Malé Straně jsou rivalové zvyklí se hádat a vzájemně se urážet. Fyzické konflikty jsou ale naštěstí pořád raritou, kterou jinak známe třeba z parlamentů v Turecku, Jihoafrické republice, Gruzii či na Tchajwanu.Když už se něco takového u nás výjimečně přihodí, je událost náležitě rozebírána ze všech stran. Jako první se veřejně, a dokonce před kamerami, rozhodl řešit osobní konflikt někdejší místopředseda ODS Miroslav Macek: uštědřil pádný „záhlavec“ tehdejšímu ministru zdravotnictví Davidu Rathovi z ČSSD. Ponížený Rath se pak u soudu domáhal milionového odškodného a veřejné omluvy, dočkal se jen toho druhého.Jiný provokatér, někdejší poslanec Lubomír Volný, byl iniciátorem bitky přímo u pultíku, odkud se řídí schůze Sněmovny. Nelíbilo se mu, že předsedající Tomáš Hanzel mu vypnul mikrofon poté, co urážel ČSSD i samotného Hanzela. Volný si s ním šel celou věc vyřídit přímo k předsednickému pultu s legendárním heslem „Dostaneš flákanec!“Byla z toho mela několika poslanců, kterou musela vyřešit až ochranka, neboť Hanzela se týmově vypravili bránit jeho straničtí kolegové. Připomeňme, že Volný, který odmítal za covidové pandemie nosit roušku, měl tehdy problémů se zákonem více - třeba za šíření poplašných zpráv o lécích dostal u soudu podmíněný trest.Podcasteři Lucie Stuchlíková a Václav Dolejší v aktuální epizodě rozebírají i další politicky nabité strkanice: třeba boxerské utkání ve štábu podporovatelů Miloše Zemana po znovuzvolení prezidentem v lednu 2018 nebo škrcení a kopání na hotelovém pokoji, kde se o letní noci nečekaně setkaly manželka i milenka pirátského náměstka ministra vnitra.Má větší ránu Udženija, nebo vidlák ze Slavičína? Vychovává Kalousek pohlavky i děti ministra práce, nebo si je Jurečka zpohlavkuje sám? A co vy? Taky byste si někdy nejradši dali facku?

It's been a hot minute but we are back with our memories of our Seoul trip as well as all the hullabaloo with the return of OT7. Now we are off to Jin's concert this weekend.

Hey ARMY! Your two favorite Unnie's here to shamelessly obsess about BTS! This week, we are covering the BTS Festa videos made by Jin and J-Hope! We fangirl over the photos that came out from this, as well as answer the questions they answered in their live! We are so stoked that OT7 is back, baby!!Join us as we obsess over BTS and everything they have to offer!

Note: this was recorded in early June and edited in late June, so some speculation may already be out of date! In this episode, we spend the majority of the time reviewing Jin's latest album, Echo. We also talk about (at the time) J-Hope's upcoming release of Killin' It Girl (feat. GloRilla), and speculate about upcoming group activities post-military!

Welcome back to Brief Encounters, the podcast where we sift through the ashes of the past … to find the sparks that just don't fit. I'm your host, Nik. And tonight, we're crossing scorching sands back to the Arabian Peninsula, in the year 1487. A time of caliphates and caravans, of mystics and merchants. But deep in the silence of the desert, something appeared. Not travelers. Not stars. Not sandstorms. But men—fiery men—falling from the sky. That's right. In a strange and little-known report from 1487, travelers told tales of burning figures descending from the sky. Figures that glowed, pulsed with heat, and radiated terror. So, were these apparitions just hallucinations in the haze of heat? Or is this another case of humanity witnessing something … not from here?A side project of Nik Hunter, host of the UFO Chronicles PodcastIt is a trial run of ten twice-weekly bite size episodes, if enjoyed by the listener, Nik will continue releasing episodes.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that dives headfirst into the world of UFO sightings, the paranormal, cryptids, myths, and unexplained legends.
