Historian Amanda Wunder joins us to discuss her new exhibition Spanish Style: Fashion Illuminated, 1550-1770, on view at The Hispanic Society Museum & Library until March 22nd, 2026. In addition to royal portraits, life-size sculptures, and sumptuous textiles and jewelry, the exhibition centers around sixteen rarely seen illuminated manuscripts known as cartas ejecutorias or “letters of nobility. Collectively, these objects reveal how upwardly mobile men and women used fashion as a reflection of status, identity, and power in sixteenth and seventeenth century Spain.

Send us a textEver felt your mind exhale the moment you step into a quiet room full of books? That's the pulse of this conversation: the library as a sanctuary where habits are reshaped, attention is repaired, and voices from across time meet you on the page. We look at why humans return to shelves when the feed runs dry, and how a single visit can reset how you think, learn, and create.We explore the difference between consuming content on a screen and approaching knowledge in a physical space. The walk to the building, the weight of a book, the hush that greets you—each small act builds focus and memory. From a personal memory in Milan to the feel of old paper and the call of carefully arranged stacks, we unpack why physical libraries still outpace digital noise for depth, context, and serendipity. Along the way, we touch the long arc of communication, from ancient scrolls to modern catalogs, and why the library remains a living network of ideas instead of a nostalgic relic.There's a challenge here too. In many communities, especially across parts of Africa, public library culture is fading. We talk about how to revive that habit: visit the library in your city, bring a friend, start a small lending shelf if none exist, and build from there. Books remain a powerful antidote to ignorance because they ask you to sit with nuance and change your mind with dignity. If you're hungry for focus, community, and real learning, consider this your invitation to step inside a sanctuary where silence teaches and pages remember.If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more readers-turned-listeners can find us.

In this episode, Libby Rothschild addresses common mistakes new dietitians make by trying to do everything themselves, such as creating websites, writing emails, and generating posts. She emphasizes the value of using templates and done-for-you tools to save time and boost growth. Key points include the importance of starting with templates, the misconception that templates are generic, and the need to begin tasks to build confidence.

Rediscovering the Scattered Library: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts explains that after 1956, Stalin's library was dispersed, leaving only about 5,500 identifiable books, some containing his pometki or markings; while Yuri Sharapov revealed the library in 1988, no "smoking gun" explains Stalin, with Roberts arguing the library proves Stalin was a serious intellectual who believed books changed the world. 1902
Stalin's Early Education and Reading Habits: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts describes Stalin's Blizhnyaya dacha, where the dictator kept a massive library and died in 1953, detailing Stalin's youth as a pious, star seminary student who lost interest in the priesthood after discovering a radical bookshop, becoming a voracious reader of prohibited nationalist and socialist literature. 1939

Personal Tragedy and the Dacha Library: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts recounts that following the suicide of his wife Nadia in 1932, Stalin became more isolated, moving his routine to the Blizhnyaya dacha, which became the "center of gravity" for his books eventually numbering around 25,000, suggesting that like Machiavelli, Stalin felt most among friends when surrounded by his library. 1934
Something is happening on the trails that does not fit inside park brochures. Skeletal things standing by tents, faceless hikers whistling from the trees, portals on ridges, and cryptid creatures that stare into you like they already know you.There is a moment on the trail when the silence feels wrong. The air is the same, the trees are the same, but something in the background has shifted out of place, as if the world is holding its breath and watching you.If you have ever had a strange or terrifying experience while hiking, camping, or backpacking, I want to hear it. Tell me where it happened, what year it was, and what you saw, heard, or felt that still does not make sense. Drop your story in the comments, upvote the ones that resonate with you, and let me know which of tonight's cases hit you hardest. The more we compare these encounters, the more precise the pattern becomes.

She previously published "The Killer Doll and the Dollmaker," with Aphelion Webzine and two short stories that can be found on her website: https://slabrecqueauthor.com/ She writes a twice-monthly newsletter and posts on Instagram as she works on publishing her next novel.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

As the Agents learn what has happened in Nagalisitu in the prior near-millenium, they see how society has improved, what needs changing, and, for some of them, the consequences of their actions...This campaign will touch on many themes, including genocide, slavery, racism, specism, harm to children, mental health issues, familial trauma, parental trauma, and thoughts of suicide, among others. Listener discretion is advised.Agents of ALIS is based on the campaign framework Nagalisitu by Caleb Stokes, for Reign second edition by Greg Stolze. Reign 2E has been released in pdf and is available at Atomic Overmind, while the book with the information on Nagalisitu has not been released as of posting. We are using a Kickstarter backer version of those rules.Genepals are references from Kyle Carty's Starstreamers from BPB Games.Adam - GMDan - Roscoe Holst - The human pilot of the Hypatia, and descendant of the... legendary? line of Holst, a family that always seems to be near when galactic history changes.Ethan - Silent Reading - A Murnau spy, perhaps the person most suited to the work of the Library. Whereas his twin brother Cheerful Humming is much more of an open book, Silent Reading keeps to himself, trusting few...Greg - Kyrt Howling-Echo - A gengineered half-human half-Murnau, he is the former Genepal League champion. Kyrt has "retired" into aiding the Library of Alexandria as a patron. Never without his beloved Genepal Pep Pup, or his second best friend Sol-Edge.Jared - Captain Kai Uhila - The human captain of the Hypatia. Kai is a bard as is the nature of those who helm the ships that travel the galaxy. A bit of a drunk, a bit of a lech, a bit of a loose cannon, but someone with a strong sense of justice.Laura - Tema Miles - A humanish logistics & security expert on the Hypatia. She wears her heart on her sleeve, and will rip yours out of your chest if you cross her, the ship, or her young ward Libby.
Alexander Tsiaras, CEO and Founder of StoryMD, is addressing the critical problem of the fragmented health information landscape. The StoryMD platform unifies a patient's health history, including clinical records, wearable data, and personal diary entries, along with relevant data from a vast validated medical library of text and strong visualizations. This provides a coherent narrative about the patient that informs the patient, their healthcare providers, and caregivers, enabling more informed decisions and better outcomes. Alexander explains, "So one of the huge problems that we have in healthcare is that when people go through a health journey, they have to cobble information together from so many disparate sources. You get a PDF here, you get a URL there, you get a screenshot somewhere else. And fundamentally, what happens is that you're trying to cobble the story of your journey together, and it's totally fragmented. You get fragmented medical records, you get fragmented information, and you share fragmented information with other sources. So really the story is constantly evolving, and you're trying to figure it out, and it's problematic." "What we have now built is the largest coded medical library in the world, where we can take all of the information using HL7 codes. Now, HL7 is Health Level Seven International, which basically is the way that your medical records are coded. And we have mapped a piece of information using AI to your medical records. So when we see a lab report, we tell you a beautiful story about what your labs mean, and this way, we can actually keep longitudinal stories going, giving you insights into what's going on in your biomarkers." #StoryMD #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #HealthAI #HealthJourney storymd.com Download the transcript here
