A note from Danielle: Hello, my loves. For the month of November 2025, we are going to focus on business-related topics, and I'm bringing out the best of my business hits. Today, we're talking about authentic intelligence—rather than, as opposed to, instead of, a better option than—artificial intelligence. As I'm recording this intro right now, I'm sitting in a hotel room in London, England, shortly after I've come off stage giving a talk to a room full of mostly female business entrepreneurs. I asked them at the beginning of the day if they wanted to talk about AI, and they groaned. And I said, "Well, we've got to do it."  I'm always willing to be the contrarian if it's all in service to truth. This podcast conversation is in service to the truth of what I believe the fact to be: that AI is where your intuition goes to die. On that note, welcome to today's episode of With Love, Danielle. *This episode originally aired as Episode 138 on October 16, 2024.  Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Zeppelin… what's your creative archetype? And what's the Divine Feminine principle got to do with your creative edge? A lot. In this episode, we're defining creative integrity in wacky times—no matter how tempting tech might be.

In November of 1988, there was optimism in the air as the Cold War was thawing, and words like "glasnost" and "perestroika" were part of the parlance of the age. And R.E.M., for their 6th album, reflected that optimism on the album Green. It was one of their most overtly political albums with songs like "Orange Crush," "Stand" and "World Leader Pretend." Randy tells the story behind it, and how Montreal's own Leonard Cohen inspired one of its songs, on the Chronicles of Rock.

It was a year of staggering losses, from David Bowie and Prince to Leonard Cohen and George Michael. But it was also a year of monumental new music, including Beyonce's 'Lemonade' and a mountain-sized rock anthem from Mitski.Note: This is a recurring series in celebration of All Songs Considered's 25th anniversary.

Humanity, in all its luminous imperfection, has always been both wound and wonder—a paradox that defines our evolution. To be human is to falter, to forget, to fracture; yet it is through these very fractures that light enters the psyche, as Leonard Cohen once observed. In today's digital agora—TikTok feeds and curated realities—our flaws have become spectacles, pathologized into pathology rather than understood as pedagogy.

Inspirado por esta frase de Teresa de Jesús, FERNANDO RIELO, el autor que hoy nos ocupa, no tuvo vergüenza de confesar su fe y afirmar, que su nucleo de ideas giraban en torno al pensamiento cristiano. Partió de un Principio de relación que declaraba que toda realidad está abierta a otra y que la persona, no es un yo que se explica a sí mismo, sino que tenemos necesidad siempre del "tú". Esto produce un giro antropológico porque concibe al ser humano como un ser en relación, una relación que está abierta a la naturaleza, abierta a los otros y abierta también al Absoluto. Todo lo anterior, junto a una panorámica que contextualiza y recorre las ideas clave de este pensador, es narrado de forma pausada y magistral, por JUANA SÁNCHEZ-GEY, profesora titular emérita de Filosofía de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, y Académica correspondiente de la Real Academia Hispanoamericana de Ciencias, Artes y Letras de Cádiz, además de vocal de la Asociación Internacional de Hispanismo Filosófico. Por otra parte continuamos nuestro recorrido por la lectura de la obra de Martha Nussbaum, en esta ocasión, a través del análisis y la reflexión que realiza sobre las emociones, en su texto "Paisajes del Pensamiento". Igualmente complementamos nuestras lecturas saltando en el tiempo hacia las Meditaciones de Marco Aurelio, quien nos aconseja cómo vivir conforme a la naturaleza. Intentamos también aunar melodía y filosofía, en esta ocasión, a través de la canción "No tengo", con letra del propio Fernando Rielo, música de Francisco Torres e interpretada por el solista Evaristo, del grupo Triada. También complementamos la contextualización de argumentos, con una versión del "Hallelujah" que popularizó Leonard Cohen, interpretada aquí por Jeff Buckley.

Begib dich mit Uwe Birnstein - Journalist, Autor, Musiker - in die magische Welt von Leonard Cohens Klassiker „Suzanne“. Zum ersten Mal hörte er den Song auf einer Jugendfreizeit in der Jugendherberge von Braunlage - ein Moment, der sich tief in seine Erinnerung eingebrannt hat. Seitdem begleitet ihn dieser bezaubernde Song durch alle Lebensphasen und hat für ihn eine ganz besondere Bedeutung. In dieser Episode von „Mein Lieblingssong“ erzählt Uwe Birnstein, wie Cohens Musik - und ganz besonders „Suzanne“ - ihn nicht nur persönlich geprägt, sondern auch beruflich inspiriert hat. Als Gitarrist interpretiert er den Song regelmäßig bei seinen Konzertlesungen, und 2021 widmete er Leonard Cohen sogar ein ganzes Buch: „Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen!“ Erfahre, warum „Suzanne“ für Uwe Birnstein mehr ist als nur ein schönes Lied - nämlich ein poetischer, spiritueller Wegbegleiter.

A live recording and chat with Aoife Barry from our recent Listening Party for Jeff Buckley's Grace (1994) at the Big Romance in Dublin. One of the '90s most revered albums, Grace is an astonishing debut LP from the American singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley. Sadly, it was to be his only album as he tragically died three years later but the album is considered a classic for its wide-ranging, reaching vocals (Buckley's voice spanned four octaves), its resonant melding of rock, folk, soul and jazz and songs of intensity, beauty and grandeur including of course, the definitive cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah', along with songs like 'Lover, You Should've Come Over', 'Mojo Pin', and 'Grace'. Baroque, sweeping, poetic, soul–baring, biblical, elemental and melodramatic Grace is considered one of the best debut albums of all time, and generally just one of the best records of all time. The high drama of his life imbues Buckley's songs with a level of intensity and singular weight It's no wonder that it's an album that teenagers are still discovering today.

This week, religious scholar Paul Elie discusses his latest book The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex, and Controversy in the 1980s. This enthralling group portrait brings to life a moment when popular culture became the site of religious strife—strife that set the stage for some of the most salient political and cultural clashes of our day. Elie is interviewed by Emily D. Crews, the Executive Director of the Martin Marty Center at the University of Chicago Divinity School. This conversation originally took place May 30, 2025 and was recorded live at the American Writers Museum. This episode is presented in conjunction with the American Writers Museum's forthcoming exhibit American Prophets: Writers, Religion, and Culture. This exhibit and programming series explores the profound ways writing reflects and influences our understanding of religion. American Prophets opens November 21, 2025. We hope you enjoy entering the Mind of a Writer. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HUB More about The Last Supper: Circa 1980, tradition and authority are in the ascendant, both in Catholicism (via Pope John Paul II) and in American civic life (through the Moral Majority and the so-called televangelists). But the public is deeply divided on issues of body and soul, devotion and desire. Enter the figures Paul Elie calls "crypto-religious." Here is Leonard Cohen writing "Hallelujah" on his knees in a Times Square hotel room; Andy Warhol adapting Leonardo's The Last Supper in response to the AIDS pandemic; Prince making the cross and altar into "signs o' the times." Through Toni Morrison, spirits speak from the grave; Patti Smith and Bruce Springsteen deepen the tent-revival intensity of their work; Wim Wenders offers an angel's-eye view of Berlin; U2, the Neville Brothers, and Sinéad O'Connor reckon with their Christian roots in music of mystic yearning. And Martin Scorsese overcomes fundamentalist ire to make The Last Temptation of Christ—a struggle that anticipates Salman Rushdie's struggle with Islam in The Satanic Verses. In Elie's acclaimed first book, The Life You Save May Be Your Own, Catholic writers ventured out into the wilds of postwar America; in this book, creative figures who were raised religious go to the margins of conventional belief, calling forth controversy. Episodes such as the boycott sparked by Madonna's "Like a Prayer" video and the tearing-up of Andres Serrano's Piss Christ in Congress are early skirmishes in the culture wars—but here the creators (not the politicians) are the protagonists, and the work they make speaks to conflicts that remain unsettled. The Last Supper explores the bold and unexpected forms an encounter with belief can take. It traces the beginnings of our postsecular age, in which religion is at once surging and in decline. Through a propulsive narrative, it reveals the crypto-religious imagination as complex, credible, daring, and vividly recognizable. PAUL ELIE is the author of The Life You Save May Be Your Own (2003) and Reinventing Bach (2012), both National Book Critics Circle Award finalists. He is a senior fellow in Georgetown University's Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, and a regular contributor to The New Yorker. He lives in Brooklyn.

Vielleicht sagt Ihnen der Name Jörg Holdinghausen auf den ersten Blick wenig – doch die Chancen, dass sie ihn schon einmal live gesehen haben oder die ein oder andere Platte zuhause haben, auf der er zu hören ist, stehen nicht schlecht. Schließlich war bzw. ist er Bassist bei Tele und Wir Sind Helden, und wirkte auch bei Element Of Crime, den Solo-Abenteuern von Judith Holofernes oder Kat Frankie schon das ein oder andere Mal in dieser Position mit. Nun veröffentlicht er erstmals ein Album unter eigenem Namen: Ende November wird "Da draußen" erscheinen, das Holdinghausen als eine "Liedermacher-Platte" bezeichnet, und das in der Tat Erinnerungen an, Leonard Cohen und Georges Brassens, aber auch Reinhard Mey wachruft. Im September präsentierte er bereits einen besonderen "Doppelvorboten", nämlich gab es die mit Klezmer-Elementen spielende erste Single aus dem Album sowohl in einer deutschen Version mit dem Titel "Traum und Wirklichkeit" als auch in der französischen Chanson-Adaption "Rêve et Réalité" von Antoine Villoutreix zu hören. Was wir von "Da draußen" sonst noch zu erwarten haben, und ob vielleicht auch eine Live-Vorstellung geplant ist, erfahren wir heute im Interview von Jörg Holdinghausen.

From Moses to Leonard Cohen: The unexpected dilemma at the heart of Jewish prayer Leonard Cohen called If It Be Your Will “a sort of a prayer.” In this episode of Madlik Disruptive Torah, Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz uncover just how deeply Jewish that prayer really is. Drawing on the words of Moses in Ha'azinu, the Psalms of David, the prayer of Hannah, and rabbinic debates in the Talmud and Maimonides' Guide for the Perplexed, we explore how Cohen's haunting lyrics echo one of the most radical ideas in Jewish liturgy: that prayer itself requires God's permission. From whispered lips to audacious praise, from silence as the highest form of worship to the chutzpah of demanding forgiveness, this episode connects the High Holidays' most prayer-rich moments to Cohen's timeless song. Was Cohen consciously channeling biblical and rabbinic texts he knew from childhood? We think the evidence is striking. Join us as we show how If It Be Your Will isn't just a song—it's the continuation of a 3,000-year-old Jewish wrestling match with the meaning of prayer. Key Takeaways The Audacity of Prayer: We examine the chutzpah of addressing God and the need for "permission" to pray. Silent Revolution: Hannah's innovation of praying silently and its impact on Jewish prayer traditions. Words Matter: The power and peril of language in prayer, and why sometimes silence speaks loudest. Timestamps [00:00:00] Opening reflection on Yom Kippur and the nature of prayer.

At the age of 16, Lorde went #1 across the world. She was catapulted from the suburbs of Auckland to the Grammy's stage, winning Song of the Year. 12 years and four albums later, she's continued to defy expectations as a pop artist and is one of the most gifted songwriters of our time. This is an extended edit of a Take 5 that was filmed for the TV series, but this podcast is an extended edit - capturing even more stories, insight, and sounds. It's an incredible conversation with one of the most thoughtful people I've met. Lorde has been going through a massive period of change. A chrysalis, taking new form. So I worked up a Take 5 theme to draw that out. And from Lucinda Williams to Westerman to something very close to home, hearing her speak about the craft of song is a rare treat.Lorde's song choices:Lucinda Williams – 'Fruits of My Labor'Bronski Beat – 'Smalltown Boy'Nina Simone – 'Suzanne'Westerman – 'Confirmation'Charli xcx & Lorde – 'Girl, so confusing featuring lorde'00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview00:49 Lorde's Early Influences and First Song Choice02:04 Lucinda Williams' Impact on Lorde09:30 Lorde's Childhood and Musical Beginnings12:56 The Mystery of Songwriting14:02 Second Song Choice: Small Town Boy24:10 Reflecting on Teenage Years and Womanhood28:22 Lorde's Relationship with Her Parents30:18 Third Song Choice: Suzanne30:27 Nina Simone's Transformative Cover of 'Suzanne'31:16 Leonard Cohen's Inspiration and Poetic Imagery32:12 Nina Simone's Unique Interpretation35:39 Exploring Gender and Identity in Music36:36 The Impact of Personal Transformation39:48 The Creative Process Behind 'Virgin'46:20 The Emotional Journey of 'Girl So Confusing'50:06 Reflections on Vulnerability and Friendship55:22 Concluding Thoughts and Future PlansWatch Take 5 on ABC iview:https://iview.abc.net.au/show/take-5-with-zan-rowe

I'm excited for this week's BEHIND THE LENS, thanks to a director whom I adore and have been chatting with for multiple decades, RENNY HARLIN, who goes in-depth with me for THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2, and writer/director MATTHEW BISSONNETTE, who brings us a film I immediately connected with, DEATH OF A LADIES' MAN starring Gabriel Byrne. THE STRANGERS began back in 2008 thanks to w/d Bryan Bertino, who treated us to the tale of James Hoyt and Kristen McKay, who visit an isolated vacation home to enjoy some time together. Hopeful bliss turned into terror making their stay a nightmare. In 2018, director Johannes Roberts, with a script by Bryan Bertino and Ben Ketai, rebooted the franchise with THE STRANGERS: PREY AT NIGHT starring Bailee Madison, Lewis Pullman, and Christina Hendricks. Now in 2025, we have the chilling next chapter of THE STRANGERS franchise with THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2. Directed by Renny Harlin and written by Alan R. Cohen & Alan Freedland, Madelaine Petsch returns as Maya, and joining her are, among others, Gabriel Basso, Ema Horvath, Richard Brake, and Pedro Leandro. Now let's turn to DEATH OF A LADIES' MAN with writer/director MATTHEW BISSONNETTE. Described as a "lyrical dramedy", DEATH OF A LADIES' MAN is poetic and emotionally charged, infused with the music and spirit of Leonard Cohen, tackling multiple themes that evoke heartbreak, absurdity, and hope. Gabriel Byrne stars as the hard-drinking, twice-divorced professor Samuel O'Shea whose life seems to be going into the toilet. First, he starts seeing things – Frankenstein at the bar, strangers breaking into Leonard Cohen songs, a woman with a tiger's head and face, and conversations with his long-dead father, Ben O'Shea. He chalks it up to stress. But a terminal brain tumor diagnosis sends him reeling into a surreal, darkly funny odyssey through memory, regret, and an unexpected romance in Ireland. Retreating to his family's remote Irish cottage, Samuel tries to write the novel he's always avoided—and instead begins rewriting his own story. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Leonard Cohen, kanadský básník a prozaik se proslavil hlavně díky úspěšné a dlouholeté hudební kariéře, která zcela zastínila jeho literární činnost. Narodil se 21. září 1934. Svými lyrickými písněmi a hlubokomyslnými texty si získal miliony fanoušků a zároveň inspiroval generace dalších zpěváků. V jeho skladbách se často objevuje téma náboženství, izolace a složitých mezilidských vztahů. V rodné Kanadě byl oceněn Řádem Kanady, tamním nejvyšším čestným vyznamenáním.

Send Catherine a text Message"We are all taking everything that we've learned from the past, and we're reformulating what we want to do with that and how we want to live. And so, one of the ideas that's embedded in that, for me, is that when you're in this period of history, like we are now, with AI and with the digitization of everything and with the resurgence of a fascist movement, everything is up for grabs. You know, anything can happen, and that's the whole point really, that we have agency in this moment to affect what direction things are going to go in, as bricoleurs." --- Rags RosenbergA special interview episode with poet and performing songwriter Rags Rosenberg. Rags writes what he calls mythopoetic folk rock in the tradition of songwriter poets he admires: Leonard Cohen, Bob, Dylan, and Tom Waits. His latest album Song of the Bricoleur speaks about myth and our ongoing myth-making. We talk about artistic identity and guiding images, the role of the artist in dark times, and "making it up as we go."In times of profound cultural change, we're all bricoleurs. Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!

The world does not seem to be doing particularly well at the moment. Much needs to change. Most conversations focus on what should change and how. This episode asks a different, and more refreshing, question:

Constantine Cavafy, the Greek poet whose work not only charted a new path for Greek poetry, but also inspired countless readers around the world - including figures like David Hockney, Leonard Cohen, and Jackie Kennedy Onassis - is back in the spotlight thanks to the publication of his first biography in roughly 50 years. Professors Gregory Jusdanis and Peter Jeffreys, the authors of the book, join Thanos Davelis as we take a deeper dive into the life and work of Constantine Cavafy.For those who are interested, the book is available for purchase in the US and the UK, and is expected in early October in Greece as well.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Constantine Cavafy: A New BiographyAlexandrian Sphinx: The Hidden Life of Constantine Cavafy‘Constantine Cavafy' Review: A Poet's Odyssey WithinThe mysterious life of Constantine CavafyAnkara bristles at Athens' energy movesGreece suspends 5% of schools as birth rate drops

Andrés Amorós continua el ciclo con Leonard Cohen, cantautor, poeta y novelista canadiense.

Today, we're sharing an excerpt from Thomas' conversation with acclaimed travel writer, author, and speaker Pico Iyer at the upcoming Collective Trauma Summit. Pico's extensive travels and journeys into the realms of Buddhism and meditation have deeply inspired and informed his creative process. They also brought him into close contact with another artist and meditation practitioner, the legendary musician Leonard Cohen. In this snippet from his Summit talk, Pico shares his experience witnessing Cohen's dedicated Zen practice and how Cohen later brought this sacred, surrendered quality from his meditation practice into his concert performances, transforming them into communal, sacred experiences. Within this experience, there are profound lessons about accepting impermanence and surrendering to something beyond your individual self.If you're moved by this conversation and want to hear the full talk, sign up at the link below, and we'll notify you as soon as details are announced for the 2025 Collective Trauma Summit, taking place online this fall.https://pointofrelationpodcast.com/#email-signup ✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

Today on part one the Rarified Heir Podcast, we speak to Sharyn Felder, daughter of one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century, Doc Pomus. While you may not know the name Doc Pomus, you absolutely know his songs. Everyone from Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Bruce Springsteen, Ray Charles, Leonard Cohen, Dr. John, B.B. King have all recorded Doc Pomus songs…the list goes on and on. And we'll get to those songs he wrote shortly. On the day we spoke to Sharyn, it was release day of a new box set of her father's music, You Can't Hip a Square: The Doc Pomus Songwriting Demos on Omnivore Recordings, a six-CD set of lost, archival tracks that are a fascinating look into Doc's music and his voice. We also get to hear the back story of how the music survived, the family archive  as well as some famous people who also sang on the demos as well as the famous names whose sides didn't survive. Along the way we discuss more famous and infamous characters who were part of Doc's inner circle and those who sought out his help when the ships were down. And let us tell you, it's one hell of a list. Like who?  Robbie Robertson and Levon Helm when they were in Ronnie Hawkins band, Bob Dylan at a creative low point , Dr. John when he was struggling to quit heroin, Phil Spector, Bobby Darin, Otis Blackwell and many more. Somehow we concluded part one with a tale about the Runyon-esque existence her father lived to the fullest and the literal death of a clown. It's funny/not funny. Take a listen to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast.

Andrés Amorós comienza ciclo con Leonard Cohen, cantautor, poeta y novelista de origen canadiense.

Om ön Hydras lockelse för fashionfolk, om Lena Endres USA-bojkott, om Stubbs superman-aura, om Christian Bales välgörenhet och om hur gammal satir blir verklighet.

So many bat facts. Much wow. The movie, not so much.Host segments: we stopped using those things for a reason; so much midcentury; committing to the bit; a life sketch; the Leonard Cohen of the apocalypse; Jeff's punishment hutch; Joe tests the statute of limitations on cheating confessions;  the Sol-Mates have feelings about math classes; host segment world-building; some are not compelled by Pipe Dreams; Devori changes Jeff's world; just Manos it.

We were in actual tears by the end of this episode. Kel takes us back to 1960 on the remote island of Hydra, where singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen first met and fell in love with Marianne Ihlen, a young mother from Norway. Although their paths didn't stay aligned forever, Leonard and Marianne never quite forgot each other– even in their very last days. Whether you're unfamiliar with Leonard's music (although everyone knows ‘Hallelujah') or a die-hard Cohen fan, there's a lot to learn from Leonard and Marianne's relationship. But first, Kel makes Mel and Kaitlyn correctly differentiate Leonard Cohen, Dustin Hoffman, and Al Pacino in a lineup. Later, she has a random rant about the Boygenius song “Leonard Cohen.” And we end it with a good cry… “It's time to laugh and cry, and cry and laugh about it all again.” Mentioned in Episode: Leonard Cohen, Dustin Hoffman, or Al Pacino? ***** This is a teaser for a bonus episode— the full episode is 2 hr 59 minutes long!

Ever feel the pressure to peak in your 20s or 30s? In this solo, Lindsey gives us all permission to slow down and trust the timing of our lives. There is an ever-increasing expectation that success should be achieved in our youth, and Lindsey explains exactly why this is a faulty perception.  Ahead, Lindsey challenges myths surrounding who we should be “by now,” sharing her evolution as a mother, a creative, and a spiritual woman. She invites you into her process of letting go, embracing the unknown, and savoring the ‘in-betweens' instead of anxiously chasing what's next.  Lindsey also explores the power of divine timing, the misconception that youth is your creative peak, and the gifts of emotional growth. If you've ever wondered if you're “too late” or missing your purpose, this episode is a loving nudge to honor your soul's unique pace—it's for a reason! We also talk about: -Why your dreams + manifestations aren't reserved for your 20s + 30s   -Releasing the anxiety of having to “figure it all out” ASAP   -Embracing motherhood as a portal for creative expansion   -How meditation + mindfulness anchor you during times of change   -The myth of the “peak decade” + why your best years are always ahead   -The power of process—and why rushing divine timing robs you of joy   -Lessons from icons like Oprah, Leonard Cohen, and Toni Morrison   -The link between aging, wisdom, and emotional regulation   -How to find fulfillment by being present with what you've already created   Resources: -Instagram: ⁠@lindseysimcik⁠  -YouTube: @NewMomOTB (Returns soon - stay tuned!)  Sponsors: -Get our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: http://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  LMNT | Go to DrinkLMNT.com/ALMOST30 and get a free sample pack with any order.

How do you become religious? What is a conversion experience? Does it happen all at once or gradually? What's the point of religion, anyway? These are questions that JF (a Catholic) and Phil (a Zennist) have often been asked since starting Weird Studies, and in this episode they attempt some answers.
