Episode 1 : « Arriba España »Quatre-vingt-dix ans après le déclenchement de la guerre d'Espagne, avec la tentative de coup d'Etat des 17 et 18 juillet 1936, comment les fantômes du franquisme hantent-ils encore les familles ?Dans cette série spéciale du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », la journaliste Garance Muñoz part à la recherche du corps de son arrière-grand-père, combattant républicain enterré dans une fosse commune. « Espagne : l'écho du silence » est une enquête historique et intime qui retrace les chemins complexes de la mémoire du franquisme, de 1936 à nos jours.La guerre d'Espagne (1936-1939) a été un conflit sanglant opposant les républicains aux putschistes menés par le général Franco. Tant d'années après, comment expliquer que le franquisme soit encore si profondément ancré dans la société espagnole ? Une partie de la droite et de l'extrême droite continue de défendre une mémoire positive de la dictature en relayant sa propagande historique, un phénomène qui trouve aujourd'hui un écho particulièrement fort sur YouTube grâce à des influenceurs radicaux, surnommés les « fachatubers ».Dans ce premier épisode, on explore les résonances intimes et collectives d'une mémoire espagnole fracturée, hantée par un conflit qui continue de diviser le pays.Une série documentaire de Garance Muñoz. Générique original : Amandine Robillard. Habillage musical : Amandine Robillard et Epidemic Sounds. Suivi éditorial et rédaction en chef : Adèle Ponticelli, Sophie Larmoyer, Thomas Baumgartner.

Dans cet épisode de "L'invité de la matinale", Marc Bourreau reçoit Marcel Babin, océanographe, chercheur au CNRS à l'Université Laval au Canada, ainsi que directeur scientifique de la mission Tara Polaris. Cette expédition hors norme vient de prendre son envol depuis le port de Lorient, avec pour objectif d'observer au plus près l'évolution du climat et de l'écosystème dans l'océan glacial arctique.L'invité nous plonge dans les détails fascinants de ce navire hybride, la Tara Polar Station, conçu pour dériver dans la banquise pendant plusieurs mois. Avec ses formes arrondies, son épaisse coque en aluminium et ses 4 étages, ce bâtiment semble tout droit sorti d'un roman de Jules Verne. Mais son but est bien réel : documenter les changements drastiques qui affectent cette région du globe, la plus touchée par le réchauffement climatique.Au-delà de l'aspect technique, Marcel Babin nous fait découvrir les enjeux scientifiques de cette expédition. Pendant une vingtaine d'années, les chercheurs vont étudier en détail l'océan, la banquise et l'atmosphère arctique, afin de mieux comprendre les liens entre le climat et la vie microscopique. Des observations inédites qui devraient permettre de faire des découvertes aux frontières de nos connaissances actuelles.Parmi les défis à relever, il évoque notamment la cohabitation au sein de cette station polaire, où 12 personnes seulement vont devoir vivre et travailler ensemble pendant de longs mois, dans des conditions extrêmes. Les risques liés à la présence d'ours polaires sont également abordés, avec des consignes de sécurité bien rodées.Au-delà de l'Arctique, l'océanographe explique aussi les répercussions que peuvent avoir les changements observés dans cette région sur le climat en Europe. Un lien étroit qui se traduit notamment par des épisodes de canicule de plus en plus fréquents.Cet épisode offre une plongée dans les coulisses d'une aventure scientifique hors norme, à la conquête de l'Arctique et de ses mystères. Une mission ambitieuse qui devrait nous en apprendre davantage sur les impacts du changement climatique, et sur la fragilité de notre planète.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Chapter 26 - In Which Phileas Fogg and Party Travel by the Pacific RailroadChapter 27 - In Which Passepartout Undergoes, at a Speed of Twenty Miles an Hour, a Course of Mormon HistoryAmerica by rail, and Verne is clearly delighted to be writing it.Chapter 26 puts the whole party on the Pacific Railroad - the transcontinental line that was, at the time this book was written, one of the genuine wonders of the modern world, and Verne treats it as such. Then Chapter 27 gives Passepartout a captive audience situation he did not ask for and cannot escape, courtesy of a very enthusiastic Mormon gentleman with a lot of history to cover and a long stretch of track to cover it on.Honestly Passepartout deserves a rest. He is not getting one. Let's go.You could've enjoyed this full episode early if you'd been a Patron!

Le soir du 14 juillet 2016, alors que des milliers de personnes sont venues assister aux feux d'artifice, un camion de 19 tonnes, lancé à toute allure sur la Promenade des Anglais, tuait 86 personnes et blessait des centaines d'autres. À Nice, cette blessure ne se refermera sans doute jamais. Notre correspondante Eliza Amouret est allée à la rencontre de Thierry Vimal qui a perdu sa fille de 12 ans et de Célia Viale qui a perdu sa maman dans l'attentat. Tous deux artistes, ils racontent comment cet attentat a bouleversé leur vie. De notre correspondante à Nice, C'est dans son appartement, situé dans le Vieux-Nice, que l'écrivain Thierry Vimal nous reçoit en compagnie d'une de ses amies artistes plasticiennes, Célia Vial. Alors qu'il n'avait pas publié de livres depuis plusieurs années, Thierry renoue avec l'écriture dès le lendemain du 14 juillet 2016 : « Quand j'ai perdu ma fille, instantanément, j'ai eu le besoin d'écrire, de revenir à l'écriture littéraire. Il y a une espèce d'exigence de sens par rapport à la vie quand on se prend un drame comme ça dessus, qui fait que, pour moi, écrire de la com n'avait plus aucun sens ! » Une façon pour lui d'extérioriser ce qui vient de se passer : « Donc, alors, on est le 15 juillet 2016, ma fille est morte à l'hôpital Lenval devant moi pendant la nuit du 14 au 15, son corps a été emporté par la médecine légale. L'hôpital Lenval, c'est comme un grand bateau bleu et blanc posé sur la Méditerranée. Et on est arrivés et j'ai vu, il était pris d'assaut par des journalistes, des camions régie, des perches… Et j'ai une vision à la Jules Verne, de voir un grand bateau attaqué par une espèce de monstre protéiforme tentaculaire qui essayait. Et là, j'ai une scène, et dans ma tête, je me disais : "Bon, ça, cette scène-là sera dans le livre." » Puis, il continue au procès antiterroriste à Paris en 2022, où il rédige les chroniques judiciaires qu'il a adaptées cette année en pièce de théâtre : « J'ai fait un patchwork où il y a des scènes très dures et très tristes. Et d'autres scènes où la salle est pliée en deux de rire. Et tout ça fonctionne très bien. Et voilà, on a rempli trois fois trois soirs de suite la salle et standing ovation à la fin à chaque fois, donc ça s'est très bien passé. » L'attentat, point de départ d'une nouvelle réflexion artistique Célia, de son côté, met plusieurs mois avant de créer à nouveau après la mort de sa maman. Au moment de l'attentat, elle est étudiante aux Beaux-Arts en Belgique : « Donc, je travaillais déjà sur les moyens de protection plutôt animaliers, type carapace, peau de crocodile, tous ces trucs comme ça. Et, à ce moment-là, en 2016, donc, vient la nécessité d'une protection beaucoup plus d'urgence et beaucoup plus profonde. Et me vient l'image du cocon. Et donc, je travaille beaucoup sur cette image-là, sur créer des pièces où on ne sait pas si, à l'intérieur, c'est vivant, si c'est mort, c'est ce temps de métamorphose et de latence hyper profonde. » L'attentat est un point de départ pour sa réflexion artistique : « C'est là où sont venues ces réflexions de qu'est-ce qu'on est aux yeux de la société quand on est plus productif ? Parce que je me sentais complètement dénuée de toute valeur marchande. » Dix ans après le drame, tous les deux refusent de parler de résilience « Ce n'est pas un mot qu'on emploie entre nous. Alors, ça va ta résilience, toi ? Ouais, moi aussi... Non, non, c'est un mot qu'emploient les autres et qui, nous, nous irrite de plus en plus avec les années », explique Thierry. « Ça rassure beaucoup les institutions et la société en général que les victimes restent dans un rôle de victime, qui arrange tout le monde. Donc, c'est bien, c'est de nous sortir une fois par an, nous dépoussiérer et nous remettre à pleurer devant les journalistes une fois par an, et encore… », ajoute Célia. Thierry et Célia ont parfois l'impression que l'attentat de Nice a bien vite été oublié.
Chapter 24 - In Which Mr. Fogg and Party Cross the Pacific OceanChapter 25 - In Which a Slight Glimpse Is Had of San FranciscoThe Pacific Ocean. The longest leg of the journey, and Verne dispatches it with characteristic efficiency.Chapter 24 gets the whole party across the Pacific in the way Fogg does everything - on schedule, without sentiment, and without once stopping to appreciate how remarkable it is that they're doing it. Then Chapter 25 lands us in San Francisco, and "a slight glimpse" is Verne being modest — there's enough happening in this chapter to make an impression.America. Final stretch.

Chapter 22 - In Which Passepartout Finds Out That, Even at the Antipodes, It Is Convenient to Have Some Money in One's PocketChapter 23 - In Which Passepartout's Nose Becomes Outrageously LongPassepartout learns a lesson that honestly should not have needed learning at this point in the journey.Chapter 22 finds him in a situation that a little money would have solved immediately — money he does not have — and Verne wrings every bit of comedy out of it that he possibly can. Then Chapter 23 has Passepartout's nose growing outrageously long, which is not literal but is somehow even better than if it were.

Mars har svag gravitation, men stark dragningskraft. I tusentals år har människor skrämts och fascinerats av den röda planeten. Karin Svensson har tittat närmare på vårt syskon i solsystemet lika delar drömlandskap och mardrömsscenario. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. På Tekniska museet i Stockholm, i en biograf där filmduken välver sig som en kupol över bänkraderna, kan besökarna resa kors och tvärs över solsystemet. Museipedagogen Linda-Maria Badéa sköter spakarna och guidar skolklasser på exkursioner i Asteroidbältet och på Jupiters månar. Men när hon frågar ”vart ska vi åka nu?” finns det en önskeplats som slår alla andra: Mars.Det intensiva intresset för Mars har kopplingar till regissören Ridley Scotts biosuccé ”The Martian” från 2015. I filmatiseringen av Andy Weirs roman spelar Matt Damon astronauten Mark Watney som av misstag blir lämnad ensam kvar på planeten och måste använda all sin kunskap och uppfinningsrikedom för att överleva och ta sig hem.Litteraturforskaren och science fiction-experten Jerry Määttä beskriver boken och filmen som en Robinson Kruse på Mars – ett slags NASA-troget läromedel.Vår tids Marshajp bär ett eko av månfebern som rådde under rymdkapplöpningen på 1960-talet. Robotarna som har skickats för att utforska Mars får egna bloggar och Twitterkonton som följs av miljontals människor. NASA har konkreta planer på en bemannad Marsresa med mellanlandning på månen. Elon Musk pratar om Mars som mänsklighetens nästa hem och tror sig kunna skicka människor dit redan i slutet av det här decenniet.Tankarna är inte nya. Redan i början på 1900-talet skrev raketpionjären och Jules Verne-fantasten Konstantin Tsiolkovski att “Jorden är mänsklighetens vagga, men man kan inte stanna i vaggan för alltid.”I tidiga högkulturer sågs planeten som ett dåligt omen på grund av sina röda färg, och för att den – tack vare sin elliptiska bana – verkade röra sig utan mål och mening över himlavalvet. Men den verkliga Marsmanin tog fart på 1870-talet, när den italienska astronomen Giovanni Schiaparelli upptäckte vad han beskrev som ”canali”, linjer i det marsianska landskapet.

Stefano Valenti"Come farfalla a luglio"Gramma Feltrinelliwww.feltrinellieditore.itNel luglio del 2001, a una generazione di giovani è toccato vivere giorni in cui, per usare le parole di Primo Levi, “l'uomo è stato una cosa agli occhi dell'uomo”. Durante il G8 di Genova, nella caserma di Bolzaneto, le ragazze e i ragazzi provenienti da ogni parte d'Italia e d'Europa hanno cessato di apparire come esseri umani agli occhi di chi li torturava. Il potere ha preso i tratti di un Leviatano, di un mostro orribile che mirava non soltanto ai corpi, ma all'umanità stessa delle sue vittime.Grazie a un gioco di specchi e a richiami espliciti a Thomas Bernhard, Stefano Valenti ritorna con questo romanzo a quei drammatici giorni. La storia ruota attorno a tre protagonisti: il narratore, che assume su di sé il compito del testimone; Francesco, il docente universitario che fa del messianismo appreso sulle pagine di Walter Benjamin il perno del suo insegnamento e del suo impegno civile e politico; Carlo, la vittima. Uniti dalla militanza nel Milano social forum, i tre si ritrovano in piazza a Genova. Vogliono un mondo diverso che unisca nell'uguaglianza dei diritti e non divida in potenti e vittime. In cambio ricevono violenze inimmaginabili, e Carlo la morte.Valenti narra con una precisione priva di enfasi, quasi puramente descrittiva e, per questo, ancora più scioccante, le torture inflitte alle ragazze e ai ragazzi con la freddezza dei carnefici più spietati. La violenza fisica non è però il solo malefico frutto di quei giorni. Il loro veleno si insinua nella mente dei sopravvissuti. Torturato nella caserma di Bolzaneto, Francesco non reggerà al ritorno alla vita cosiddetta normale, a un'esistenza all'insegna dell'ipocrisia e della dimenticanza. Si suiciderà e lascerà all'amico il compito di testimoniare la tragica realtà di quei giorni e di ricordare la breve, eppure giusta e intensa, vita di un soccombente e di una vittima.I drammatici giorni del G8 di Genova in un romanzo su un testimone, un soccombente e una vittima.“Ci hanno picchiato, presi a calci e manganellate, senza un perché. Erano impazziti. Hanno sfondato porte e finestre, sono entrati e ci hanno colpiti. Molti di noi dormivano. Chi cercava di scappare ai piani superiori veniva inseguito, raggiunto e picchiato ancora.”Stefano Valenti (1964), valtellinese, vive a Milano. Ultimati gli studi artistici, si è dedicato alla traduzione letteraria. Il suo romanzo d'esordio, La fabbrica del panico (Feltrinelli 2013), ha vinto il Premio Campiello Opera Prima 2014, il Premio Volponi Opera Prima 2014 e il Premio Nazionale di Narrativa Bergamo 2015. Ha ancora pubblicato con Feltrinelli Rosso nella notte bianca (2016; Premio Volponi 2016). Per i “Classici” ha tradotto Germinale (2013) di Émile Zola, Il giro del mondo in ottanta giorni (2014), Ventimila leghe sotto i mari (2018) e Viaggio al centro della Terra (2019) di Jules Verne.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
Chapter 18 - In Which Phileas Fogg, Passepartout, and Fix Go Each About His BusinessChapter 19 - In Which Passepartout Takes a Too Great Interest in His Master, and What Comes of ItEveryone goes their separate ways in Hong Kong — and that is immediately a problem.Chapter 18 splits our three main players off in different directions, which sounds harmless enough until you remember that Fix has an agenda and Passepartout has absolutely no filter. Chapter 19 delivers on exactly what that title promises - our man gets a little too involved in making sure things go well for Fogg, and the consequences are the kind that are very funny to everyone except Passepartout.This might be one of my favorite episodes yet.

Chapter 16 - In Which Fix Does Not Seem to Understand in the Least What Is Said to HimChapter 17 - Showing What Happened on the Voyage from Singapore to Hong KongFix is having a rough stretch, and it is deeply enjoyable to watch.Chapter 16 puts him in a conversation where he is genuinely, completely lost - and the comedy of a professional detective being this thoroughly confused is something Verne clearly relished writing. Then Chapter 17 gets us on the water between Singapore and Hong Kong, and the voyage produces exactly the kind of unexpected development that keeps this story moving at such a relentless pace.New city, new complications.

Forget the "well, actually" crowd. Yes, the Germans were central to the space race, and host Matt Trump is leaning all the way into it. In Part I of this new series, Matt traces humanity's first object to ever cross into outer space back to a test launch from Peenemunde on June 20, 1944, two weeks after D-Day, and the weapon it became, the V2. But the real story starts decades earlier with Jules Verne, whose 1865 novel "From the Earth to the Moon" predicted Apollo and Artemis with eerie accuracy, and inspired a young Transylvanian Saxon named Hermann Oberth to turn science fiction into the actual rocket equation. Matt also dives into the strange, tangled connections between Oberth, Fritz Lang, Thea von Harbou, and the silent film "Metropolis," and what that film really reveals about how the Nazis saw themselves. Next week, the warriors arrive: Wernher von Braun.

That chapter 14 title might be the most perfectly Fogg sentence in the entire book.The man travels through one of the most breathtaking landscapes on earth and simply doesn't look up. Meanwhile the rest of us would be pressed against the window. It tells you everything you need to know about Phileas Fogg in eight words. Then Chapter 15 reminds us that his solution to virtually every problem on this journey is the same - and that he brought enough money to keep solving problems for a very long time.The clock is still ticking.

“Be optimistic about the boom, but don't buy the stock.” — Liaquat Ahamed on the AI bubble Yesterday, Alexander Starritt argued that the 2008 financial crash ruined the lives of his generation. But compared with the great crash of 1873, 2008 looks like a tremor. The Pulitzer Prize-winning economic historian Liaquat Ahamed has a new book out today, 1873, which presents this 19th century economic crash as the first truly global financial crisis. In 1870, three globalising infrastructure projects were completed in quick succession: the US transcontinental railroad, the Suez Canal, and the Trans-India railroad linking Bombay to Calcutta. Into this newly integrated global economy, the Franco-Prussian War injected a trillion-dollar-equivalent indemnity that the Rothschilds helped France raise — and the resulting dramatic capital flows produced three simultaneous bubbles in Berlin, Vienna, and New York. A French journalist named Jules Verne worked out that for the first time, you could circumnavigate the globe in less than eighty days. Around the world in one global economic crisis. The lesson for posterity, Ahamed warns, is that the authorities made a catastrophic error by doubling down on the gold standard, producing decades of deflation that triggered an anti-semitic and anti-globalist populism, and ultimately led to the Great Depression of the 1930s. So what does that tell us about today's AI boom, which is about to be rocketed by three trillion-dollar IPOs? Be optimistic about the boom, the wise Ahamed says. But don't buy the stock. Five Takeaways • Jules Verne and the First Global Economy: In 1870, three iconic infrastructure projects were completed: the US transcontinental railroad, the Suez Canal, and the Trans-India railroad linking Bombay to Calcutta. A French newspaper noted that for the first time, a traveller could circle the globe in less than eighty days. Jules Verne read the article and found his next novel. The point for Ahamed: this moment marked the creation of a genuinely integrated global economy for the first time in history. And with global integration came the first global financial crisis. The boom of the 1850s and 1860s was not irrational. It reflected real economic growth. The crash came from what happened next. • The Trillion-Dollar Indemnity and Three Simultaneous Bubbles: Under the peace treaty ending the Franco-Prussian War, France was required to pay Germany an indemnity worth the equivalent of $1.2 trillion in today's money. With the help of the Rothschilds, France raised this sum in six months. The resulting capital injection caused the Berlin and Vienna equity markets to rise 200–300 percent. Simultaneously, European capital fleeing the war flowed into US railroad construction, inflating that bubble further. A third bubble formed in foreign borrowing on the London capital markets, as money chased yield in countries that should never have been given credit. Three bubbles, one crash. • The Wrong Lesson from 1873: Gold Standard Orthodoxy: When the crash came, the authorities made a catastrophic error: they concluded that the gold standard had worked because the 1850s and 1860s boom had happened under it. They failed to see that the crash itself was partly produced by the gold standard's rigidities. The resulting decade of deflation crushed farmers, debtors, and ordinary people across Europe and America, fuelling anti-globalist populism. The same orthodoxy — applied by Montagu Norman and others in the 1920s — helped cause the Great Depression. We always fight the last war. • The Rothschilds: Scapegoated Despite Being Innocent: The Rothschilds were at the centre of the 1873 boom as the world's leading bond underwriters. Presciently, they kept a low profile during the most speculative phase of the bubble. When the crash came, they were viciously scapegoated — part of the wave of antisemitism that swept Europe in the wake of the depression. Ahamed's irony: the Rothschilds were blamed for a crisis they had been cautious enough to partially avoid. The story of 1873 is, among other things, a story of how financial panic turns into political persecution. • The AI Boom: Be Optimistic, Don't Buy the Stock: Andrew's final question: should we buy Anthropic and OpenAI when they go public? Ahamed's answer, via the lesson of every bubble from 1873 to 1929 to the dot-com era: bull markets are usually driven by real fundamentals — until the last phase, when they become untethered. The 1920s were rational until 1927; the dot-com era was rational until 1997. The dilemma: the last irrational phase may still produce 40 percent gains. Ahamed's advice: be optimistic about the AI boom. It reflects real productivity growth. But don't buy the stock. About the Guest Liaquat Ahamed is a financial historian and investment manager. He graduated with degrees in economics from Cambridge and Harvard, worked at the World Bank in Washington, D.C., and had a twenty-five-year career as a professional investment manager based in London and New York before turning to writing. He is the author of 1873: The Rothschilds, the First Great Depression, and the Making of the Modern World (Penguin Press, June 2, 2026) and Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World (winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, the Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Gold Medal, and the Financial Times Best Business Book of the Year). He lives in Washington, D.C.

Chapter 12 - In Which Phileas Fogg and His Companions Venture Across the Indian Forests, and What Ensued Chapter 13 - In Which Passepartout Receives a New Proof That Fortune Favors the BraveWe're deep in India now, and Verne is having the time of his life.Fogg and company get off the beaten path and into the Indian forests — and when Verne says "and what ensued," he means it. What ensues is exactly the kind of thing that makes this book so much fun. Then Chapter 13 gives Passepartout a moment that is equal parts terrifying and triumphant, and honestly he earns every bit of it.Fortune does favor the brave. It also apparently favors the recklessly optimistic Frenchman who keeps stumbling into situations no reasonable person would survive.Enjoy!You could've enjoyed this full episode early if you'd been a Patron!

This week we're sipping Tin Cup Fourteen, the Mount Sneffels release, and following a thread that ties straight back to last week's pour. Same Colorado founder, a different bottle, and a story that wanders from a ghost town saloon at ten thousand feet to a Jules Verne novel that somehow ended up on a Colorado license plate.There's a high-rye mash bill aged fourteen years, a tiny splash of single malt hiding inside, and a mountain named after an Icelandic volcano because a surveyor in 1874 was apparently really into science fiction.Pour something interesting. We'll do the climbing for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Then Chapter 11 has Fogg doing what Fogg does best: identifying an impossible problem and solving it by throwing money at it in the most audacious way imaginable.

Alliance Tournaments V3 are here, and the community has questions. A lot of questions. In this episode of Talking Trek, DJz, Matters, Putz, Jules Verne, and the live audience dig into the new Alliance Tournament structure, task segmentation, reroll strategy, 10k and 20k task value, legendary currency, and the updated store. Is this an economy reset? A necessary rebalance? A cold-turkey clawback? Or all of the above wrapped in a spreadsheet burrito with mild emotional damage? Jules brings the data hammer as we look at free-to-play options, long-shot tasks, ops-based segmentation, invisible task slots, and how alliances should communicate before rerolling valuable tasks away. We also discuss the legendary store, whether the new currency payouts help, when 20k tasks might actually make sense, and which store items may be worth prioritizing. Plus: Stupid News, community frustration, high-level player sentiment, Cam Cam's birthday, and a reminder that even when the game feels rough, Talking Trek is still here to teach, laugh, analyze, and occasionally poke the burning console with a stick. 01:02 - Welcome, server sound off, and setting up the night's chaos 05:21 - Stupid News returns with chips, Samsung, Avatar lawsuits, dogs, and McDonald's soda crimes 12:24 - Alliance Tournament task segmentation enters the chat 17:02 - Scopely's “institutional memory” problem and the Incursions comparison 24:02 - High-level players quitting and the emotional state of the community 33:07 - Is this a cash grab, an economy reset, or something else entirely? 41:02 - DJ's satirical “you beat the game” letter to the community 49:00 - Why rerolls broke the old Alliance Tournament economy 57:07 - Legendary currency, 20,000-point tasks, and whether any are truly free-to-play 1:03:02 - Jules breaks down known 10k free-to-play tasks and long-shot options 1:10:07 - Task pool confusion, weird data, and server-specific tournament oddities 1:17:15 - How Alliance Tournaments could have been rebalanced without feeling like a clawback 1:25:03 - Legendary alliance payout: the good idea buried under rough execution 1:34:50 - Too much taken away, not enough given back 1:40:03 - Legendary currency pricing, direct-buy comparisons, and store psychology 1:48:00 - When a 20k task might make sense for spenders 1:58:24 - Comparing legendary currency to multiphasic value and added-spend incentives 2:04:14 - Reroll strategy, task groups, and why one reroll does not refresh everything 2:12:05 - Legendary store review: reputation, artifacts, tech, primes, and priority pulls 2:35:00 - Cam Cam's birthday, Jules' community challenge, and closing schedule notes
Dangerous Creations: The Inventor Novel in Fin-de-siècle France (U Toronto Press, 2025) presents a master narrative of the inventor in fin-de-siècle French literature by analyzing the works of Jules Verne, Albert Robida, Émile Zola, and Villiers de l'Isle-Adam. Their writings challenge the role of science in shaping French national identity and aim to transform contemporary understandings of science and technology. The book reveals how Verne, Robida, Zola, and de l'Isle-Adam reimagine the figure of the inventor, reshaping the literary standards of their time. Universally male in these narratives, the inventor serves as a flawed exemplar of national heroism during the Age of Empire – a period marked by significant external threats and internal strife – while also embodying unrestrained creativity. Ultimately, the inventor novel reflects broader French anxieties surrounding scientific progress, empire, and gender. Ana Oancea explores the transmedia and transnational legacy of the fin-de-siècle inventor novel through vignettes that highlight similarly themed narratives in contemporary popular culture. These sections engage with films, television series, graphic narratives, and video games that reinterpret key aspects of the inventor narrative, shedding light on its power structures, racial and gender politics, and colonial aspirations. Guest Ana Oancea is Associate Professor of French at the University of Delaware. Her research interests include the intersections of science and literature, adaptation studies, and visual culture. She has recently published articles in Forum for Modern Language Studies, Science Fiction Film and Television, and French Screen Studies. Host Gina Stamm is Associate Professor of French at The University of Alabama, with research concentrated on the environmental humanities and speculative literatures of the 20th and 21st centuries, from Surrealism to contemporary science fiction and feminist utopias, in Metropolitan France and the francophone Caribbean, with a book manuscript in progresson posthumanist ecological engagement in the surrealist movement.

This episode of Talking Trek was originally intended to be a livestream, not a traditional podcast recording. Because of that, the format is not perfectly “podcast clean” in every moment, with some live-chat interaction, stream chaos, and real-time gameplay mixed in. But the conversation around the Paragon Recruit event, officer sourcing, spending value, community frustration, and the broader direction of Star Trek Fleet Command was strong enough that we felt it deserved to be published for the podcast audience. DJz, Jules Verne, Matters, XeroGees, and the community dig into why the Paragon Recruit event felt so bad, how the 90-pull guarantee and diluted chest design landed with players, and why even spenders walked away feeling punished instead of rewarded. The show also explores the bigger question: is this just one bad event, or part of a larger reset in the STFC economy? Later in the show, the crew pivots into Duo Wave Defense strategy, updated crewing advice, real-time testing, officer sourcing choices, and the value of wave completion versus pushing too high too quickly. It is part breakdown, part therapy session, part teaching stream, and part “what in the actual galaxy is happening right now?” energy. 00:09 Stream opens with Ghost Energy, chat chaos, and pantsless tradition 05:31 DJz jokes about “proper communication” and a future heroic spend event 07:01 Xero's frustration and why even longtime players need a break 12:03 Xero explains what finally pushed him away from Fleet Command 20:43 DJz frames the night: community sound-off, teaching, and surviving together 21:34 Paragon Recruit warning: no current plan for the event to return 24:02 Why the Paragon chest concept was not the problem, but the bloat was 25:29 The awkward 90-pull guarantee math and why the spend felt intentional 32:19 Jules explains the Vengeance Is Mine dilemma and the Paragon trap 33:59 $350+ in value and still only halfway to Academy Doctor 35:01 Officer acquisition reset, or something far worse than a reset? 39:01 Community fear: are these changes pushing players out? 47:36 DJz shares the professional message he sent about recent STFC decisions 54:32 Paragon called out as vague, shiny, RNG-heavy, and “gambly” 56:01 Direct warning: Paragon was a single-run event, subject to change 57:38 Cadre Recruit preview and why it looks like the same mechanic again 01:06:43 Trying to find the positive: Alliance Tournament and Duo Wave Defense 01:12:16 The larger theory: new player resets, old player fatigue, and game direction 01:20:16 STFC is not shutting down, but it may be shaving life off itself 01:25:07 Revenue, whales, burnout, and whether top spenders are “acceptable casualties” 01:34:38 Wave Defense Battle Pass value and why some players may not need to panic 01:43:51 DJz admits this was not planned as a podcast, but the conversation is strong 01:50:38 DJz talks diversification, Pokemon Go Fest, and creator-life strategy 02:00:14 Why STFC is a different game now than veterans remember 02:09:59 Duo Wave Defense Part 2 begins with Jules Verne coaching strategy 02:20:00 Preparing DJz's first Duo Wave Defense run on Server 15 02:35:17 Which officer to choose from the Paragon guarantee, if you chase it 02:38:26 Target levels, ship choices, and why level 68s matter in Duo Waves 02:44:00 Protector placement, wave tricks, and old group-wave tactics 02:50:30 Live Duo Wave Defense run begins 02:58:22 Wave strategy: what to kill, what to ignore, and where hostiles spawn 03:07:27 Officer Laurels, future sourcing, and why Genesis may be worth chasing 03:08:06 Duo Wave Defense strategy wrap-up and lessons learned 03:14:07 Bonus chaos: cow video narration, documentaries, and post-show nonsense 03:20:02 Podcast outro for a livestream that unexpectedly became publishable
Chapter 3 - In Which a Conversation Takes Place Which Seems Likely to Cost Phileas Fogg DearChapter 4 - In Which Phileas Fogg Astounds Passepartout, His ServantWe're back, and Fogg is already making life very interesting.Chapters 3 and 4 are where this story really finds its legs. First, a conversation at the Reform Club that has absolutely no business going the direction it goes — and yet here we are. Then we watch Passepartout, fresh on the job and still figuring out what exactly he's signed up for, get the kind of news from his new employer that nobody expects on day one.

The April 30th arc day in Star Trek Fleet Command was… a lot. Battle passes went down, came back up, reset, went down again, players got compensation promises, research rollbacks hit 1,719 accounts, and the community started asking whether this was just a bug day or a full systems parade of gremlins in the Jeffries tubes. In this episode of Talking Trek Live, DJz, Griffin, Tarpy, Jules Verne, and the community break down what happened with the battle pass, why the research rollback mattered, whether Digit vs. Scopely responsibility changes the conversation, and what players should know about duo wave defense. Jules also brings the classroom energy with real duo wave defense testing, hypothermic decay math, repair drone mechanics, bugs found in the mode, and a deep dive into the new Paragon recruit math and value concerns. 01:03 Show open: the arc disaster begins 08:16 Stupid News returns to the chaos desk 16:28 DJz's missing Junkers and customer service comedy 23:40 Battle Pass Update: the sequel nobody ordered 31:01 Research rollback, 1,719 accounts, and why it had to happen 38:59 Were buildings and ships affected too? 46:00 “Oopsie poopsie,” exploit correction, and the missing undo button 52:04 Did the rollback break the battle pass? 57:18 70,000 battle pass points and the second relaunch problem 01:04:37 Why DJz is saying Digit instead of just Scopely 01:12:49 Scopely responsibility vs. Digit execution 01:19:00 Jules Verne enters with duo wave defense testing 01:27:00 Venari Ral, hypothermic decay, and repair drone mechanics 01:35:00 Duo wave maps, allowed hostiles, and carry-a-friend strategy 01:43:10 Duo wave defense takeaways and video intro chaos 01:51:00 Crew tweaks, impulse speed, and Griffin's squishy science lab 01:59:06 Paragon recruit value math begins 02:07:32 “Chance of nothing” and the $600 comparison 02:16:05 Paragon pools, rerolls, and the “guarantee” explained 02:24:01 Changing math, confusing sourcing, and final arc frustration 02:29:10 Closing thoughts, margarita math, and the end of the doozy
M90 is here, cadets, and Talking Trek is rolling straight into Starfleet Academy with a full Talking in Carz breakdown of the new patch. DJz, Griffin, Tarpy, Jules Verne, and the crew unpack the new Academy loop, Duo Wave Defense, critical damage mitigation, Academy drones, the new building, refinery currencies, laurels, and the first wave of new officers. We also dig into the bigger M90 economy changes, including battle pass updates, the 27-day arc format, Boldly Go rewards, desolate rod sourcing, officer depot token changes, Paragon and Cadre bundles, alliance tournament updates, new artifacts, ship refits, and the long-awaited arrival of G5 scrapping. There's a lot in this patch, some of it exciting, some of it suspiciously spreadsheet-shaped, and some of it wearing a cadet uniform while stealing your lunch money. Topics include: Starfleet Academy loop, Duo Wave Defense, critical damage mitigation, Academy drones, STFC.phd battle log parsing, engineering credits, science credits, command credits, laurels, new Academy officers, Genesis outpost loot, battle pass changes, Boldly Go, officer depot tokens, Paragon and Cadre bundles, Emerald Chain progression, alliance tournaments, simulacrum refits, and G5 scrapping timers. 00:51 Show open and welcome to Talking in Carz 02:23 Welcome to Starfleet Academy, cadets 03:12 The new Starfleet Academy loop begins 04:37 Academy drones, crit chance, and crit damage explained 05:24 Critical damage mitigation enters the game 07:45 Battle logs, STFC.phd, and tracking the new mechanic 08:52 Why the Academy building matters early 10:03 Training merits, engineering credits, and the refinery loop 11:34 The 60-second currency recap 12:27 Laurels become the new officer promotion currency 13:17 Duo Wave Defense strategy and why waiting may be smart 15:39 New Academy officers: Doctor, Jahl of Myr, and Genesis 17:04 Genesis and the big outpost plunder loot boost 20:46 The early concern: is the new loop too siloed? 23:00 Battle pass and live ops changes for the 27-day arc 24:03 Desolate rods, Boldly Go, and flash pass replacement sourcing 26:58 Community data needed for battle pass reward comparisons 28:49 Officer depot token store changes and 30-day warning 31:03 Paragon and Cadre officer sourcing bundles 32:30 New artifacts: Emerald Chain helm and G7 parts efficiency 34:24 Emerald Chain progression and alliance tournament XP 36:23 Surprise: two alliance tournament runs this month 39:18 Titles, cosmetics, and the fun side of the arc 40:15 Choice token concerns and alliance tournament task changes 42:18 New simulacrum refits and Academy drone mitigation 43:42 G5 scrapping timers, exocomp boost, and realistic expectations 47:36 When to use the G5 scrapping exocomp 48:35 Wrap-up and tonight's Talking Trek lab preview

From ancient myths of sea monsters lurking below to Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, the ocean has long been both a source of fear and fascination. For Captain George Bond, a Navy medical officer in the 1960s, the deep sea was humanity's next frontier. Undersea agriculture, deep sea mining, and human colonies on the ocean floor made up his dream for the future. Today we bring you the story of the U.S. Navy's little-known experiment building homes on the ocean floor. They called it, Sealab. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
