Mat Bonville hasn't been doing competition BBQ for long, but the pitmaster of Phantom Smoke & BBQ from Kipling, Saskatchewan had a memorable cook at one of the world's foremost contests a couple of weeks ago. Bonville scored a whopping 707.97 at the KCBS World Invitational in Lebanon, Tennessee - roughly a 24-drive from home - to earn Reserve Grand honors and qualify for next spring's BBQ World Cup. On Episode 359 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Bonville tells us about his journey, what it was like hearing his name alongside some of the world's best and what's ahead for his one-man team. We also welcome Joel Fleetwood back to the show to discuss Meat Rushmore BBQ's latest release in its product lineup, the Midwest Heat Sauce. Joel also shares his thoughts on the World Cup, which is coming to Kansas City for Group matches beginning next week, and the enthusiasm that international visitors are bringing to mid-America. Co-host Lyndal and Steve recap their BBQ weekend and give opinions on some sports headlines. We hope everyone has a chance to fire up the grill or smoker this weekend!

Rudyard Kipling published Stalky & Co. in 1899. Set at an English boarding school in a seaside town on the North Devon coast. (The town, Westward Ho!, is not only unusual in having an exclamation mark, but also in being itself named after a novel, by Charles Kingsley.)The book is a collection of linked short stories, with some information about the eponymous Stalky's later life. Beetle, one of the main trio, is said to be based on Kipling himself, while Stalky may be based on Lionel Dunsterville.The stories have elements of the macabre (dead cats), bullying and violence, and hints about sex, making them far from the childish or idealised world of the typical school story. Edmund Wilson, critic, in The Wound and the Bow, was both shocked and uncomprehending.

A senior Indigenous banker in Canada cautions the Canadian government to keep Indigenous consultation at the forefront for major projects. As Dan Karpenchuk reports, he also says there is interest from Indigenous leaders in taking part in those major energy projects. Recently Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney repeated his plan to fast track major energy projects in Canada. Last week, he said Ottawa would build quickly and “in the right way” in consulting with Indigenous and provincial partners, but some of those leaders have been critical fearing that the process of consultation will be rushed and their concerns would be brushed aside. Carney's government wants to change parts of environmental law to make it easier to build a pipeline to the west coast, along with other energy projects. Bill Lomax is the president and CEO of the First Nations Bank of Canada. He says that early and meaningful talks with Indigenous communities is key. “We're seeing more business acquisitions happening, joint ventures happening with companies that are servicing, let's say, a pipeline. That kind of thing is just really taken off. We've seen our business grow. We're really a reflection of our clients. And their success leads to our success.” Lomax says the bank's commercial business was growing by 10% a year, but in the past year, it's been 26%. He says that shows how much Indigenous businesses are becoming involved, but he warns the opportunity for their approval is there if the consultation is done right. “You need to engage with the nation early on and let them know what you are thinking about, have them participate and have them be part of the plan.” Lomax says even though some Indigenous communities will be against some projects, but he believes there are many more that would be ready to move and move quickly. The First Nations Bank of Canada is an Indigenous-owned national bank. It's mission is to serve Indigenous people, nations, and businesses. The Alaska Native Language Center will publish a novel this summer retelling Rudyard Kipling's “The White Seal”, the only Jungle Book story set outside India, on St. Paul Island in the Bering Sea. Two artists from the Pribilof Islands retell the story through the perspective of a young Indigenous protagonist named Sergie. KUCB's Maggie Nelson has more. Garrett Pletnikoff is the coauthor of the new young adult chapter book “Sergie and the White Seal”. The story is an adaptation of one in Kipling's Jungle Book, “The White Seal”, published in 1894. And actually names Pletnikoff's great, great, great grandfather as a main antagonist. Kipling portrays Pletnikoff's ancestors through a disparaging colonial lens — as unclean murderers of the innocent marine mammals. Pletnikoff says this adaptation is a chance to tell a different story — to portray the Unangan community and the seals as partners instead of enemies, as Kipling wrote them. “The White Seal includes violent descriptions of seal harvesting, but Kipling never mentions that these harvests were not done by Unangan free will. The Unangan people of the Pribilof Islands were subjected to forced labor.” Hannah Zimmerman coauthored the book with Pletnikoff. She says they were inspired by Unangan lore and mythology and decided to name their main character after a spiritual leader from the Aleutian chain — Sergie Soboroff. “It’s a story of Sergie, who discovers that he’s a shaman, and he has this, you know, magical ability to talk to animals, and he discovers his purpose as a conduit between the animal world, in the human world.” Zimmerman says they used Sergie's role as a shaman to discuss topics like how colonization wiped out certain Indigenous practices. “When we read the book to fourth and fifth graders in the fall at the St Paul Island School. And I’ll never forget how, at the end of the book, one of the fifth grade students came up to me, and he was like, you know, I didn’t know Aleuts could be superheroes.” “Sergie and the White Seal” is now available through the University Press of Colorado's website.

Ottavio Fatica"Operazione Shylock"Philip RothPrefazione: Emmanuel CarrèreAdelphiwww.adelphi.it«Un libro infernale, che non si riesce a smettere di leggere. Una riflessione sul giudaismo, su Israele, sull'invecchiare, sulla menzogna, sull'invenzione, sulla letteratura – su tutto ciò che conta nella vita. Assolutamente vertiginoso. Leggetelo» (Emmanuel Carrère). Traduzione di Ottavio FaticaTraduzione della prefazione di Emmanuel Carrère: Ena MarchiNella sua burrascosa carriera, Philip Roth ci ha abituato alle più spericolate acrobazie narrative, ma mai ha osato tanto quanto in Operazione Shylock, dove, per dire e fare tutto ciò che vuole, ha sentito il bisogno di misurarsi con il suo più temibile avversario: un altro Philip Roth – stesso nome e stessi connotati, solo il nomignolo Moishe Pipik a distinguerlo da sé. Mai il tema del Doppio è stato usato in un romanzo con un tale autolesivo virtuosismo. Roth azzanna sé stesso come essere umano, come ebreo, come Philip Roth, e non si accontenta di una libbra di carne. Come congegnare, altrimenti, una spy story che tiene insieme il Mossad, il processo al mostro di Treblinka, il recupero dopo un crollo psichico da Halcion, l'incontro-scontro con ebrei e palestinesi in una Gerusalemme pattugliata dall'esercito israeliano, il faccia a faccia ustorio con l'altro Philip Roth – un megalomane che per salvare gli ebrei ashkenaziti da un probabile prossimo sterminio si fa propugnatore di una nuova diaspora, uno spregiudicato controesodo verso i paesi europei d'origine – e con la sua procace, concupita compagna? Sfoggiando una lingua viscerale e insieme altamente speculativa, Roth combina in queste pagine la più spiritata, isterica commedia nera con il dramma di popoli e di singoli individui lacerati, e mette in scena una mirabolante due-giorni a Gerusalemme che – incredibile a dirsi – fa anche ridere.Philip Milton Roth nasce a Newark, nel New Jersey, il 19 marzo del 1933 in una famiglia della piccola borghesia ebraica. Si laurea alla Bucknell University e fa un master in letteratura inglese all'Università di Chicago. Pubblica i primi racconti sulla Paris Review, su Esquire e sul New Yorker. Il suo capolavoro è Pastorale Americana, con cui vince il Premio Pulitzer nel 1997 e da cui è stato tratto un film da Ewan McGregor, che interpreta anche il ruolo del protagonista. Il libro fa parte una trilogia che comprende Ho sposato un comunista e La macchia umana. Il suo esordio avviene nel 1959 con Addio Columbus. Dieci anni dopo la fama con Il lamento di Portnoy, in cui il protagonista, un trentenne ebreo, Alexander Portnoy, racconta all'analista le proprie nevrosi sessuali.Autore di trentuno libri, Roth è stato un critico feroce della società americana, della sessualità maschile e dei falsi miti dell'uomo occidentale (in Complotto contro l'America del 2004 immagina che alle elezioni per la presidenza americana del 1940 venga eletto Charles Lindbergh anziché Roosevelt, e che questo trasformi gli Stati Uniti in un alleato della Germania nazista). Nel 2009 annuncia il suo ritiro dall'attività di romanziere. Il suo nome è apparso spesso nella lista dei concorrenti al premio Nobel per la letteratura. Muore a New York il 22 maggio 2018.Ottavio FaticaFamoso per le sue numerose traduzioni, ricordiamo: il Moby-Dick di Melville, quasi tutto Kipling, i diari di Byron, i limerick di Lear, Céline, Henry James. Per Einaudi ha pubblicato nella collana Collezione di poesie, Le omissioni (2009) e Vicino alla dimora del serpente (2019).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/

Send a textA courageous journey, a chance meeting and a single ring on the bell at the gilded gates of his future, changed everything for Kevin Tewis and launched him into being! And nothing has stopped him ever since!At 15, a disastrous careers interview informed Kevin that he simply wasn't good enough and a life of stacking biscuits as opposed to a glorious creative career lay ahead. To quote Churchill Insurance's iconic dog Winston that Kevin subsequently went on to create: "Oh No-No-No-No-No!" A day later Kevin found himself at the gates of 5 Star, his very favourite band. And having taken his destiny into his own hands, there at the gates, his future began. That mix of nerve and pitch-perfect timing became a blueprint that Kevin still follows: Create work with staying power, not sugar highs. In this extraordinary episode we explore how a shy Superfan became a Photographer, a Music Producer, a Brand Builder, a Creativity Legend and the mind behind one of Britain's most loved advertising icons, Churchill's nodding bulldog Winston: "Oh Yes-Yes-Yes-Yes-Yes!"We dig into the craft. Kevin's teenage habit of hand-charting Top 40 hits helped him decode what makes a song endure across formats and decades. That data-meets-feel approach fuelled records designed to live on Heart and Smooth long after the charts. It also birthed a branding masterstroke: “Winston,” a bulldog that turned insurance into affection by blending British heritage with warmth and simple, memorable language. You'll hear how he later applied the same logic in government, naming ANTENNA for Number 10's secure comms by building inward and outward meaning straight into the word.Mentors loom large in Kevin's story. From Five Star's kindness to Eddie Gordon's industry schooling, he shows how generosity scales careers—and why he now mentors young creators, sits on a school trust, and argues for business literacy in classrooms. We talk ad quality, radio's surprising strength, Simon Cowell's new boy band era, and why AI is best treated like Grammarly: a sharp helper, not a stand-in for empathy, timing, and taste. Creativity remains stubbornly human because what moves us keeps shifting.The most luminous turn arrives with fatherhood. Kevin shares the joy and honesty of building a family through surrogacy and egg donation, keeping both women an active part of his children's lives. It's a lesson in dignity, clarity, and the kind of legacy that truly lasts. Anchored by a favourite line from Kipling's If—keep your head when others lose theirs—this conversation is a guide for anyone who wants to make things people will still love in ten, twenty, thirty years.Enjoy the story, share it with a friend who needs a nudge of courage, and if it resonates, subscribe and leave a review so more listeners can find these conversations.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of January 23rd Publish Date: January 23rd Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast Today is Friday, January 23rd and Happy Birthday to Earl Falconer I’m Chris Culwell and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Former Cherokee County Probate Court judge retires New Kilwin's store opens at The Mill on Etowah in Canton Cherokee County school board member won’t seek reelection Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on breads We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Commercial: INGLES 2 STORY 1: Former Cherokee County Probate Court judge retires After 50 years in the legal world, Kipling “Kip” McVay has officially retired, closing the book on a career that spanned everything from title research to serving as Cherokee County’s probate judge. Her last day? December 4, 2025, when Governor Brian Kemp accepted her resignation. McVay’s career began in 1973, digging into title research at Sen. Sam Nunn’s old law firm. From there, she wore countless hats: prosecutor, trial attorney, ethics commission director, private practice owner, and eventually, Cherokee County’s first female probate judge. Oh, and she also became the first woman to conduct a jury trial in the county. Her time as probate judge (1997–2008) was transformative. She modernized the office, introduced mediation to resolve family disputes, and even handpicked her successor, Keith Wood, who’s still serving today. After stepping down as probate judge, McVay wasn’t done. She served as a senior judge for Georgia’s Probate Courts, taking on cases across the state—sometimes for years at a time. One particularly messy case involved an estate with no will, feuding heirs, and years of unresolved disputes. Now retired, McVay has traded courtrooms for family time and volunteering at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, where she moved in 2020. “It’s been a good run,” she said, “but I’m enjoying this new chapter.” STORY 2: New Kilwin's store opens at The Mill on Etowah in Canton Canton just got a little sweeter—Kilwin’s is now open at The Mill on Etowah, serving up chocolate, fudge, and over 30 flavors of ice cream. The shop, which opened Dec. 18, sits next to Rock N Roll Sushi and shares a building with Campania. Franchisee Mona Rathore, who also owns the downtown Woodstock location, said Canton was the perfect spot. “We wanted to create a family-friendly space where people could enjoy our sweets. The Mill felt like the heart of the community—it just made sense.” Kilwin’s menu is a sugar lover’s dream: hand-dipped caramel apples (made fresh in-store), creamy fudge, specialty chocolates, and, of course, their famous ice cream. So far, the response has been incredible. “We love seeing families stop by after dinner,” Rathore said. “Even though we’re a franchise, we feel like a local business. We live, shop, and eat here—it’s home.” Kilwin’s Canton is open daily from noon to 8 p.m., with extended hours coming this summer. Online ordering and delivery through DoorDash and Uber Eats are on the way, too. STORY 3: Cherokee County school board member won’t seek reelection Cherokee County School Board Member Susan Padgett-Harrison is calling it a career. After decades in education and public service, she’s announced she’ll retire at the end of the year and won’t seek another term. Padgett-Harrison’s career spans 29 years as a teacher, principal, and district leader before joining the board in 2023. During her tenure, CCSD’s state “report card” score hit a record 87, and the district climbed from 21st to 8th in state rankings. She’s proud of the progress: lower debt, expanded career programs, and rising AP scores. Three other board seats (Districts 3, 4, and 5) are also up for grabs this year, with elections set for May 19 and Nov. 3. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

And this one? It was a nail-biter. The Grizzlies edged out South Effingham 36-35 in the final, capping off a perfect 4-0 run at Legacy Arena in Douglasville. Wins over Habersham Central, Villa Rica, and Dunwoody set the stage, but the finale? That was something else. Down 35-6 with five matches left, Creekview pulled off the unthinkable: five straight pins. Aaron Campbell, Pierce Marsh, Weston Wilkie, Logan Pritchett, and Costen Wright stepped up, with Wright sealing the deal at 175 pounds. Even a loss at 132 pounds by Bo Richardson turned out to be crucial, saving a team point that made the difference. South Effingham was no pushover—they’d dominated all tournament long, just like Creekview. But the Grizzlies weren’t about to let this one slip. With the traditional tournament still ahead, Creekview’s not done yet. BRAVES: Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones are headed to Cooperstown, two center fielders who dominated their eras with a mix of power, speed, and jaw-dropping defense. Born just a day apart in April 1977, they’ll now share the stage at the Hall of Fame induction on July 26. Beltrán, in his fourth year on the ballot, finally crossed the 75% threshold, earning 84.2% of the vote. Jones, in his ninth year, got 78.4%. Both had to climb uphill—Beltrán’s path clouded by the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal, Jones’ by a slow start in Hall voting (just 7.3% in 2018). Beltrán, a nine-time All-Star, hit .279 with 435 homers and 1,587 RBIs over 20 seasons. He was a postseason monster, batting .307 with 16 homers in 65 playoff games. “The Mets are a big part of my identity,” he said, though his career spanned stints with Kansas City, Houston, St. Louis, and others. Jones, meanwhile, was a defensive wizard, winning 10 Gold Gloves and smashing 434 homers. He’s now the sixth Braves legend from their 1990s dynasty to make the Hall, joining Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Chipper, and McGriff. STORY 5: Winter storm watch issued for Cherokee County this weekend Brace yourselves, north Georgia—winter’s about to get messy. The National Weather Service says a storm is rolling in this weekend, and Cherokee County is under a winter storm watch from 1 a.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Monday. South of Cherokee? No watch, but don’t get too comfortable. Here’s the deal: expect freezing rain, sleet, and maybe some snow. Saturday starts with rain, but by nightfall, temps drop to 27, and things get icy—literally. Sunday? More freezing rain, highs around 34, and a low of 17. Power outages? Likely. Roads? Treacherous. If you must travel, pack a winter kit—blankets, water, flashlight, the works. And don’t forget to protect your pets, plants, and pipes. Need shelter? MUST Ministries’ warming center on Bells Ferry Road opens Saturday, serving dinner at 5 p.m. Stay safe, stay warm, and keep an eye on updates.

On Halloween night of 1992 something happened that divided the small farming town of Kipling, Saskatchewan. A young single mother accused the town's well respected doctor of sexual assault while under his care. Wanting to save his reputation, the doctor took a blood test to prove his DNA was not a match for the samples found during the performance of a sexual assault exam. It was not a match. Despite this, Candice, the accuser, was adamant about what had happened.

We finally won a game of football, so obviously we're going to overthink every second of it. Sean Kray makes his Fighting Cock debut with an elite Mr Kipling bar, Ben's fresh back from the away end, and we try to work out why the vibes were so good even when the football was… not. We get into Frank's setup, the constant fan backlash, Odobert actually giving us something to latch onto, and whether we're being too harsh on the manager or not harsh enough. Plus: Porro stress, Paulinho discourse, Richarlison redemption arc (sort of), and what we actually need in January. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro Conrad Hahn, PES of the MSANA, and is brought to us by Bro Matt Bowers, host of the Scottish Rite Journal Podcast. Rudyard Kipling is one of the giants of modern English literary history. He towered over the closing years of the Victorian era, and lived well into the twentieth century. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem called, "The Gods of the Copybook Headings." It's all about propaganda. Most of what we hear about our so-called education system is exactly that. We are all told that we have to continue to pay high property taxes to pay for "our high quality education system." That's what Grady Hutcherson from the WEA called it. But is it really? Do our test scores really justify the hundreds of millions that we throw at Wyoming education? The short answer is not even close. But you don't understand the reality of it until you look at the national NAEP scores as Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder told the Appropriations Committee to do. If we aren't paying to educate our students, what are we paying for exactly? I reality of where we are at will shock you.
Kipling shows his love of the sub continent and its people and understanding of their beliefs in these tales. An older Mowgli roams the jungle with his old friends and investigates the ways of his people, a Prime Minister becomes a wandering holy man, scavengers tell their tale and we leave India for the far,far north of Canada.This is a collaborative reading.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Jack's Christmas Lights Walk begins here for a reason. Villiers Street is the perfect overture: dense with history, glowing with stories, and sprinkled with festive firsts you won't hear anywhere else. It's London in miniature: short, steep, and overflowing with stories. From dukes and Dickens to Kipling's fog and railway thunder, this narrow chute between the Strand and the river is a backstage entrance to five centuries of drama. Let alone those Christmas Lights. And their stories.
What inspired Kipling to write his two most famous works: The Jungle Book and Kim? Why did Kipling hate London and swiftly move to the US? How did Kipling develop such astute observational writing about Anglo-Indians in his early twenties? William is joined once again by Andrew Lycett, author of Rudyard Kipling, to discuss his rise to fame and how although he left India, his writing became evermore obsessed with the subcontinent… Make someone an Empire Club Member this Christmas – unlock the full Empire experience with bonus episodes, ad-free listening, early access to miniseries and live show tickets, exclusive book discounts, a members-only newsletter, and access to our private Discord chatroom.

Under the lights at the Lodge Card Club in Texas with fans around the world watching the stream can be daunting for any poker player! However, Lodge regular & PokerCoaching coach JWin is no stranger to facing tough decisions live on stream! In this poker hand, JWin gets put in a truly rough situation for his entire stack, and he has to decide if Mr. Kipling is bluffing or value betting. Will he come to the right decision with his two pair? When you are preflop, it is important to think about your opponents' position and the ranges they are likely to use from each seat. If a poker player raises from under the gun, their range should generally be stronger, tighter and built around premium broadway hands, suited aces, and high pocket pairs. Against this type of tight early position range you should proceed cautiously and 3-bet less often because they are far more likely to have the strongest part of their range. However, when a player in late position decides to raise, especially from the button, their range will become much wider. This allows you to 3-bet lighter and apply pressure with a wider range, since they will be entering the pot with many more marginal holdings. Jay Nguyen or JWin as he is more commonly known, is an American professional poker player. He regularly plays on The Lodge Poker live streams and he usually plays all the way up to $50 – $100 blinds. He also has a popular YouTube channel with over 11,000 subscribers where he produces poker vlogs. JWin is a brand ambassador and coach for PokerCoaching.com. Since 2020, JWin has played on more than 148 live streamed poker cash games and has won over $180,000. Little is known about Mr. Kipling apart from the fact that his nationality is British. Since 2020, Mr. Kipling has played on more than 9 live streamed cash games and has lost over $15,000. In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its poker members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and poker tournaments, operating around the clock. Additionally, The Lodge provides an inviting ambiance with 40 large screen TVs, allowing poker club members to enjoy sports entertainment whilst playing poker or while relaxing in the cozy waiting area. The live poker stream includes commentary from Skull Mike and Slick Rick, who have been long time regulars at The Lodge Poker Club. They provide viewers with poker strategy insights, complemented by a perfect blend of humor. Lodge Card Club has bought San Antonio’s largest poker room, Rounders Card Club, which opened in July 2024. The new Lodge Card Club San Antonio will relocate to a larger space to host bigger poker tournaments and events. Chaz Gill, known as Big Daddy Chaz, will join Doug Polk, Andrew Neeme, and Brad Owen as a partner to help meet the local poker community’s needs. Preflop:With the $100 triple straddle on, Mr. Kipling makes it $300 from the hijack with A5 of spades. JWin decides to 3-bet out of the big blind with AQo, and Mr. Kipling calls with his suited ace that is already 40% of a straight flush. Flop – Ad Ts 3c:Both players flop top pair, but JWin has the higher kicker. JWin chooses to continuation bet for $1,000 with his pair of aces and backdoor broadway draw. Mr. Kipling calls with his weak ace, although he does have backdoor straight and flush draws available. Turn – Qs:JWin improves to top two pair, aces and queens, and fires a second barrel, this time for $1,000. Mr. Kipling has picked up the backdoor nut flush draw, so he opts just to call, and the two poker players head to the river. River – Kc:The king of clubs on the river is one of the worst cards in the deck for JWin as now any jack makes a broadway straight. Still with two pair, JWin decides to check. Mr. Kipling realises his pair of aces probably isn't going to be good at showdown, so he puts JWin all in for $8,685, which is just over the size of the pot. Will JWin be able to pick off this bluff, or will he make the incorrect fold and be shown the bad news? Stay tuned to this poker video to find out. Jonathan Little analyzes live poker hands from TV poker shows such as Poker After Dark, Hustler Casino Live, The Lodge Poker Club & PokerGO. He also analyzes popular poker vloggers such as Rampage Poker, Brad Owen, Jaman Burton, Ashley Sleeth, Wolfgang Poker and others! You will also find many poker hands on this channel that contain some of the biggest names in the poker world such as; Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Doug Polk, Garrett Adelstein, Tom ‘Durrrr' Dwan, Dan ‘Jungleman' Cates, Fedor Holz & many more! pokerstrategy #thelodge #highstakespoker The post WPH #592: A Truly ROUGH Situation. first appeared on Jonathan Little.
What is the origin story of one of imperialism's biggest fans, Rudyard Kipling? How did he go from a spoiled child in India who spoke Hindustani with his nanny, to living in an abusive foster home in Portsmouth which he called The House of Desolation? Why was Kipling such a man of contradiction? William is joined by Andrew Lycett, author of Rudyard Kipling, to discuss Kipling's colourful but turbulent early life.

Connery & Caine were powerful names to put on the poster for The Man Who Would Be King. And while their adventure movie wasn't a huge hit, it has a huge legacy. John Huston directs Kipling's story with Sean and Michael playing scheming British ex-soldiers Danny & Peachy. And, God's Holy Trousers, are Caine & Connery ever a tremendous team! The fellas make an almost impossible journey to North Afghanistan in their hunt for fortune & glory. Then when Danny gets all he could want (and Peachy becomes his not-so-willing sidekick), they find out what the hubris of a false God-King gets them.

As the First World War drew to a close and regimes began to collapse across Europe, British officials plotted a daring campaign to send an unlikely band of maverick soldiers, diplomats and spies to the chaotic region around the Caspian Sea. Their mission: to block the advance of the Turks, to hold back the rising Bolsheviks and prevent a Turkish-inspired jihad overwhelming India, and to secure the vital supply of oil from Baku.It was an almost impossible task, but Mavericks: Empire, Oil, Revolution and the Forgotten Battle of World War One (Bloomsbury, 2025) by Nick Higham tells the gripping stories of the remarkable and enterprising characters at the centre of it all, who would be tested to the limit. There was Lionel Dunsterville, the inspiration for Kipling's Stalky and commander of the expedition; Ranald MacDonell, a Scottish aristocrat and diplomat who smuggled millions of roubles for the war effort; Edward Noel, a seemingly indestructible soldier who was held hostage for sixty-five days in horrific conditions; Toby Rawlinson, the younger brother of one of Britain's most senior generals and a brilliant inventor; and Reginald Teague-Jones, a spy who printed his own currency and would eventually emerge as an author at the age of ninety-nine.Drawing on personal diaries, memoirs and once-secret government archives, Mavericks brings to life a cast of eccentric heroes who survived against all odds to tell their extraordinary tales. This is a propulsive story of boldness and intrigue, set in a forgotten corner of the Great War where the rules were made to be broken. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

BRING IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC TO THE WORLD FOR 20 YEARS On July 28, 2005, I released the very first episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. This was not my first podcast. There were four others that I released first. All of them are still available to this day. Though one podfaded. When I started, I was publishing the Celtic Music Magazine every week. I started podcasting to promote Celtic bands, but mostly I wanted to promote my own band, Brobdingnagian Bards. It was a new and exciting way to get my music heard. But something happened along the way. It became less and less about my band and more about how I could help bands be heard. And it worked. In fact, I featured a total of 79 Celtic bands in the months that followed in 2005. That includes Brobdingnagian Bards and my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers project. Here are some of the bands who were featured. 1: Susan Hamlin, Three Quarter Ale, Dust Rhinos, Cluan, Fathom, The BorderCollies, Tara's Fire, Paul McKenna, Marc Gunn & The Dubliners' Tabby Cats, Brobdingnagian Bards 2: StoneRing, The Slip, Hugh Morrison, Caladh, MacTalla Mor, Lenahan, The Bloody Irish Boys, Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer, Celtic Stone 3: The Barley Boys, Contea, Queen's Gambit, Highland Fling, Michael Murphy and the River Shannon Band, Amadan, Raymond McCullough, Bow Triplets, The Rogues 4: The Irish Experience, Cairde na Gael, The Black Irish, Avalon Rising, Heather Gilmer and Jeff Moore, Sarah Dinan, Bedlam Bards, Emerald Rose, Kristen Roger, Heather Dale, Serious Kitchen, Empty Hats 5: Rise, Ed Miller, Tullamore, Paisley Close, Cantiga, Thomas "Doc" Grauzer, Cady Finlayson, Rimbo, Don Grieve, Black 47 6: Moch Pryderi, Enter the Haggis, The Patched Hats, Seelie Court, Eric Benson with The Boatrights, Ali Benson, 3 Pints Gone, Sligo Rags, Angel's Share 7: The Tea Merchants, Keltic Kaleidoscope, Brothers 3, EJ Jones, Shays Rebellion, Marc Gunn 8: Niamh Parsons, Flook, Willie McCulloch, Gan Fidil, Pol Mac Adaim, The Elders 9: Tears for Beers, Clandestine, Stonering, Athas, Carl Peterson You can see the full list on the website. Many of these artists are no longer performing. What's more interesting is that about a quarter of these artists are still making new music to this day. Today, I will highlight some of the amazing Celtic bands that are still performing after 15 - 20 years. I started my list with three perennial favorites of mine who've been on the show for a long time and are still performing: Poitin, Ed Miller, and The Gothard Sisters. Admittedly, The Gothard Sisters were a late addition to the show, coming on in 2010. But of all the bands, they are to me a shining beacon of this podcast. Because you can see them grow and develop as musicians and songwriters over the course of this show. So I had to include them. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Tonight, we'll read a story from “Just So Stories” by British author Rudyard Kipling published in 1902 titled “The Crab That Played with the Sea”. The book is a collection of origin stories. Kipling began working on the book by telling the first three chapters as bedtime stories to his daughter Josephine. These had to be told "just so" (exactly in the words she was used to) or she would complain. The stories illustrate how animals obtained their distinctive features, such as how the leopard got his spots. This particular story explains the ebb and flow of the tides, as well as how the crab changed from a huge animal into a small one. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Today on The Literary Life podcast, we begin a new series of episodes on The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling with our hosts Angelina Stanford, Cindy Rollins, and Thomas Banks! After sharing their commonplace quotes, each of them talks about their own reading histories with Rudyard Kipling's work. Thomas gives us some biographical information about Kipling and sets up the literary period in which he wrote. They then begin talking about the structure and form of this book as it is set up as a series of short stories as beast fables. Angelina shares some of the mythic and fairy tale elements she noticed while reading this first story, “Mowgli's Brothers.” They also discuss some of the challenges we face reading stories written in a different time and place without imposing our current views on all the literature of the period.
