Podcast appearances and mentions of Judith Martin

Hi Clint, if you had even a shred of artistic sense you'd be able to tell from the title that this episode is about quotes. But for those of us who aren't members of the Gifted & Talented Program, we spend today's episode sharing quotes from a resplendent mix of historical figures.  Spoiler alert, we find out that every quote in history is dripping in context. duh Cameos include:Audrey & Quill getting wet about receiving letters from men, sans the part where they call you a ‘sweet little whore' by candlelight Audrey's dream buttcheek tattoo inspired by daddy of war, Sun Tzu: "formlessness" on the right and "soundlessness" on the left. Classy.People who think they know everything saying “People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."Leviticus 6:9, Matthew 4:20; and Becky 4:8, the best chapters in  God's fictional novel, The Bible “I go to BU and my name's Clitty Lint” - Clint from BUProfessors wanting to dive headfirst into the depths of Quill and his whole aura, surrounded by the Irish landscape and multiple tipped-over sheep, with the entire class as a witness. Can you say Title IX?Let's hope one of our quotes makes it big some day, but it won't, will it? BECAUSE YOU DON'T READ OUR DESCRIPTIONS.

Today I talked to Sarah L Kaufman about her book The Art of Grace: On Moving Well Through Life (Norton, 2016). Grace as a word comes from Greek, conveying a sense of giving a favor as a gift or act or kindness. It's related to Hebrew and Muslim words for compassion, and is something today's society could use more of notes today's guest. Instead, we have reality TV that thrives on dis-grace. This book began as the author confesses, with her writing an appreciation of how well Cary Grant moves on screen. In this interview, we also had time to hear from the author on the “devastatingly liquid” forehand of Roger Federer, and his overall grace on and off the court. Is grace charming? So much so that Cary Grant even once deliciously said, “Even I want to be Cary Grant.” Learn why Margaret Thatcher (“Atilla the Hen”) qualifies as graceful, and how we might move past today's penchant for intolerance. Sarah L. Kaufman is an author, journalist and educator. For almost 30 years, she was a Pulitzer Prize-Winning dance critic for The Washington Post and happy to be a colleague of Judith Martin (aka Ms. Manners). Nowadays, Sarah teaches courses in Harvard's Extension School on a variety of topics. Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc. (https://www.sensorylogic.com). His latest two books are Blah Blah Blah: A Snarky Guide to Office Lingo and Emotionomics 2.0: The Emotional Dynamics Underlying Key Business Goals. Learn more about your ad choices.

Judith Martin, better known to millions of readers as Miss Manners, joins Tim to talk about good manners, an understanding of etiquette and civility are as important as ever. Judith is an author and a syndicated columnist. In this episode, she talks about her career at the Washington Post, about how etiquette and manners in society have evolved, and about her new book called, “Minding Miss Manners: In an Era of Fake Etiquette.” This episode was first released April 27, 2020. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Miss_Manners.mp3 In Judith Martin's official bio, she describes herself as being a quote – “perfect lady in an imperfect society.” She's Miss Manners, the pioneer mother of today's civility movement. And then with her wry sense of humor, she adds, quote, “Now, if she could only persuade people to practice civility as much as they talk about it.” Her syndicated newspaper column under the heading of Miss Manners is distributed three times a week in more than 200 newspapers in the United States and other countries. Her column has chronicled matters of manners since 1978. She's written several books over the years, and she has received numerous honors for her work, among them the National Humanities Medal in recognition of her contributions to society as America's foremost etiquette columnist and author. In these current times, you wouldn't be faulted if you believe that the world needs a champion for better manners now more than ever. Judith Martin is that champion.

Where has everybody's manners gone? Doesn't anybody have good manners anymore ? For over 40 years, syndicated columnist Judith Martin -- better known as Miss Manners -- has been helping people navigate the often confusing Waters of good manners . In her polite but firm way, Martin answers readers questions about what constitutes good manners and good etiquette in today's world. In 1990, Martin wrote a book called Miss Manners Guide For The Turn of Tthe Millennium. And that was when I had one of many conversations that I've had with her over the years.

Hem entrevistat de nou l'actor i escriptor Marc Garcia Coté en ocasió de la reestrena del magnífic monòleg 'La màgia lenta' de Denis Lachaud amb direcció de Pierre Notte, que en Marc interpreta brillant i sentidament. La podeu veure a la sala Dau Al Sec fins diumenge 28 de novembre. Aquesta obra, basada en fets reals, tracta sobre el cas d'un home que va ser diagnosticat d'esquizofrènia i en realitat arrastrava el trauma d'haver rebut abusos sexuals continuats en la seva infantesa. L'home va fer recerca per trobar-se amb la realitat d'un passat molt dolorós. Almenys (segons les estadístiques) un de cada cinc nens i nenes pateixen abusos, xifres esfereidores que ens fan pensar en què pràcticament en cada família ens podem trobar amb un cas. Avui 19 de novembre, Dia mundial de la prevenció de l'abús sexual infantil, Dau al Sec vol contribuir per visibilitzar aquest problema tan greu amb la reestrena d'aquest espectacle i diversos col·loquis, com el de les psicòlogues Esther Polo i Judith Martin. També hi haurà un col·loqui amb l'autor divendres 26 de novembre. Continuarem parlant sobre 'La màgia lenta' a Ona Cultural. Ens agraden molt aquestes iniciatives.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky.   Bookwaves Erik Larson, author of The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky. Erik Larson is the author of several best-selling works of narrative non-fiction, including Dead Wake, In the Garden of Beasts and The Devil in the White City. His latest book takes us one year, from May 1940 to May 1941, a time which encompasses not only Winston Churchill's first year as Prime Minister of England, but also the Blitz, the often daily air raids by the Germans on London, Coventry and other cities, which began at the same time and ended almost to the day one year later. We follow the Churchill family's quotidian lives during that time, from watching to bombs to various wartime love affairs and break-ups, along with a look at how both the British and German governments worked during that year. In the interview, Erik Larson discusses his source material, and compares some of what went on then to what's happening today, particularly in terms of heroic and destitute patterns of leadership.   Arts-Waves A ten-minute interview with Gore Vidal, from 1998, in which he discusses his film, theatre and stage work with Richard Wolinsky and Richard A.
