Summer reading is getting steamy! Today, Joe is joined by bestselling romance authors Ann Liang and BK Borison for a conversation about creating unforgettable love stories, building electric chemistry, writing yearning and intimacy, and why romance continues to captivate readers around the world.  The conversation also briefly features romance author Sara Cate, who joined at the start of the episode before technical difficulties cut her time short.  From the balance of tension and tenderness to the art of crafting a perfect happily ever after, Ann and BK share a behind-the-scenes look at their writing process, the emotional core of romance novels, and what makes a love story linger long after the final page. Whether you're searching for your next spicy summer romance, a fan of contemporary love stories, or curious about how romance authors bring fictional relationships to life, this episode is a must-listen.  Looking for the video version of our show?

Vanishing: A Love Story, Documentary Feature Vanishing: A Love Story is a documentary about award-winning novelist Cai Emmons and her loving, open-hearted journey towards death. In 2021, at the age of 70, Cai was diagnosed with ALS. Taking place in 2022, during the last six-months Cai's life, the film is, first and foremost, a story about the agency of expression —having a voice to create a legacy in the world. "Sandra Luckow's 'Vanishing' offers an almost shockingly close-up view of a life well lived and arguably well ended. Focused raptly on the late author Cai Emmons, the film is documented from so deep within her home and intimate circle that at times it also seems to have been shot from inside her head. Emmons is the intellectual driver of Vanishing—but it's Luckow's principled humility before her subject, and before the inescapable realities of illness and death, that enable this film to begin in voicelessness and dissolution and end in eloquent affirmation. --Stuart Klawans, Film Critic, National Magazine Award winner for Reviews and Criticism —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

UNbecoming is a cinematic exploration of consciousness and identity that challenges the assumption of a separate self. Bridging neuroscience, lived experience, philosophical inquiry, and ancient contemplative traditions, the film examines what happens when the structures that define identity begin to dissolve. Featuring perspectives from leading researchers and thinkers, it moves beyond explanation into direct investigation -inviting the viewer to question the nature of perception, control, and reality itself. Rather than offering answers, UNbecoming creates an experiential confrontation with the question: if the self is an illusion, what remains? —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

BALL LIGHTNIING, 12min., USA Directed by Catriona Trina Baker Ball Lightning is the true story of a refugee who fled the personal and social effects of Soviet run East Germany after the end of WWII and immigrated to the United States in the 1960s. The story is told through the eyes of the surrogate daughter that she raised after she was forced to give away her own infant daughter as the iron curtain rose. Gusta serves as an example of survival, kindness and the fortitude of human resilience. The film is dedicated to her lost daughter, Esther, a reminder that the children separated from families because of war are never forgotten by those who love them. https://www.instagram.com/ball.lightning_film https://www.wildsound.ca/videos/audience-feedback-ball-lightning —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

Harpal Brar | 1 May 2026 Stalin made regular efforts to counter the tendency of Soviet scientists to adopt a servile attitude towards their equivalents in the more backward imperialist west. Contrary to the myths peddled by Khrushchev and Trotsky and repeated endlessly by anticommunist historians, Josef Stalin was a selfless, modest and devoted revolutionary, and a lifelong student of Marxist-Leninist science. ---------------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

Greg Jenner is joined in the ancient world by Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid and comedian Marjolein Robertson to learn all about the famous Mesopotamian poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh.Sumerian poems about a legendary king called Gilgamesh began to be composed sometime in the third millennium, and were told and retold throughout Mesopotamia until a Babylonian scholar named Sîn-leqi-unninni wrote down what has become the standard version. The tale he recorded tells of a tyrannical king of Uruk, Gilgamesh, and the transformative journey he takes with his enemy-turned-friend (and possibly more), Enkidu. In the 3100 lines of the poem, they fight forest guardians and celestial bulls, anger the gods, and even challenge death itself.In this episode, we retell the story of Gilgamesh, exploring the history of the epic's composition, what it tells us about ancient Mesopotamian storytelling and beliefs, and how it was rediscovered in the nineteenth century, written in cuneiform on clay tablets housed in the Library of Ashurbanipal at Nineveh. We also look at the themes of companionship, community and environmental protection that are still relevant today, and ask the question: is Gilgamesh just a legend, or was he based on a real king?This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

John Quincy Adams was the great visionary of America's post-founding era, a writer and orator of consummate skill who reframed the origins and principles of the republic for a new generation. It's fitting then that as the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of independence, that Adams should be the focus of renewed attention. One new book in particular caught our eye at Library of America: America's Founding Son: John Quincy Adams, from President to Political Maverick by Bob Crawford (Zando 2026). Crawford is perhaps best known as the bassist for the acclaimed folk-rock band The Avett Brothers, out of Concord, North Carolina. But he is also the host of not one but two popular podcasts: American History Hotline, on iHeart Radio, and The Road to Now, on SiriusXM's POTUS channel.

Filmtätt i veckans podd då Niklas, Tove och Jonas håller låda. Det blir också en djupdykning i Summer Game Fest och ett lite udda speltips. Eftersom Summer Game Fest sändes förra veckan dyker vi rakt ned i en herrans massa spelnyheter: singelplayerspel, asiatiskt inspirerade spel och skräck var några teman. Andra spelnyheter: I det senaste Nintendo Direct visades Kingdom Hearts 4 samt en remake till Zeldaspelet The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Vidare pratar vi också mer om Nolans kommande storfilm The Odyssey, uppföljaren till The Social Network - The Social Reckoning, att Doctor Who tappar sin showrunner samt att Anthony Head har gått bort - kanske mest känd som Giles i Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I filmdelen har Niklas sett actionskräckfilmen They Will Kill You och pixars nya animerade film Hoppers. Tove å sin sida har sett Sacha Baron Cohens flippade rulle Ladies First. Slutligen har Jonas spelat Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library, ett tillfredsställande slags sorteringsspel. Tack & Förlåt! Puss Hej!

Library director Phil Salvador and producer Robin Kunimune take you through the process of preserving a collection of over 10,000 digital files from our GamePro CD collection. Phil discusses how he tackles physical and philosophical dilemmas such as balancing users' needs to access original files of hi-res game art while also viewing quick, easy thumbnails researchers can actually open; dealing with broken or obsolete 90's files types like old PSD/EPS files; automating bulk processing for as much data as we're able; and balancing thorough, but concise, metadata for topics ranging from undersea wreckage salvage to hyper-specific local gaming slang. Phil and Robin also provide a sneak peak into the VGHF's upcoming monster of a project, the Game Informer collection, and how this meager 10k file collection is really just a warm-up.Mentioned in the Show: GamePro Press CD  CollectionYou can listen to the Video Game History Hour every other Wednesday on Patreon (one day early at the $5 tier and above), on Spotify, or on our website.Video Game History Foundation:Email: podcast@gamehistory.orgWebsite: gamehistory.orgSupport us on Patreon: /gamehistoryorg

It is the same underlying model as Mythos but shipped with conservative safeguards, questions about cybersecurity and biology get routed to Claude Opus 4.8 instead. We dig into what it can do, why Anthropic held it back, and what our future looks like as we get closer to AGI.  Then Apple goes AI again at WWDC: a profoundly revamped Siri AI, a dedicated Siri app, on-screen awareness, much better photo tools, and a foundation model setup that is local, multimodal, and partly powered by Google. Gavin is thrilled that the future has finally arrived, just not on the phone he bought last year. It is AI For Humans! THE MOST POWERFUL AI EVER RELEASED. WHAT COULD GO WRONG.

The City of Los Angeles began to build a magnificent architectural beauty for its Central Library in the downtown area. As part of the ceremony to mark the building's site in 1925, a time capsule was created and buried. When the Central Library opened its doors in July of 1926, the Time Capsule was securely covered buried in a cornerstone made of Indiana Limestone. Did the Leaders of the City and the Library imagine then that this Time Capsule would not be seen nor opened for 100 years, until May of 2026? Todd Lerew, Director of Special Projects for the Los Angeles Library Foundation, tells us about that moment, the effort it took to retrieve it, and what was found once opened. For Todd, he considers that to be his greatest experience in his eleven year career at the Library. This historic event came about for the celebration of the Centennial of the iconic building's architectural achievement and the importance of Libraries to the citizens of Los Angeles. The Time Capsule will be part of the July 11 Centennial Festival to be held at the Central Library, 630 West 5th Street, Los Angeles, 90071, phone (213) 228-7000. Come join the free fun on July 11th and throughout the year for CENTRAL 100, 1926 to 2026, with the theme, “Celebrating a Century of the Light of Learning”. To view the entire program go to LAPL.org/Central 100.

The approach and the entrance to the Los Angeles Central Library in the City's downtown, is both dramatic and inviting. The experience can conjure the feeling of entering a Cathedral. One is walking through arches, rotundas, gothic high ceilings past large posters, rare paintings and sculpture, and ahead the awesome sight of escalators facing huge figurines hanging overhead. It is from the escalators that you will have a dizzying choice of reading rooms to visit like the International Room with books in over 100 different languages, the History Room, The Literacy Room for tutoring, and so many more to explore. Christina Rice, Senior Librarian of the Photo Collection and Madeline Pena, Director of Engagement and Learning Division, are the dynamic and creative team who for over the last two years have been preparing for a grand celebration of this very 100 year old building and its history. They named this Centennial, CENTRAL 100, 1926 to 2026. The theme is, “Celebrating a Century of the Light of Learning”. It is a celebration of the architecture, of the survival of the Central Library and its role as a “crown jewel” of a Library system of 73 branches beloved in a City that has gown with it in the last 100 years. The highlight of the year long activities is the July 11th Festival to be held all day, from 10:00 a. m. to 4:00 p. m. Listen to Christina and Madeline and hear their stories of an iconic building welcoming people from the diversity of Los Angeles and from around the world.

Is academic writing just intellectual showmanship?In this episode of Sabbatical Insider, Dr. Fredrick J. Long reflects on a surprising criticism he recently received—that academic writing is elitist—and uses it as a starting point to explore the purpose of scholarship itself.Fresh off completing the latest issue of the Journal of Inductive Biblical Studies and celebrating the publication of his devotional contribution to Altars of Freedom, Fred takes viewers behind the scenes of academic publishing and explains what actually goes into producing serious research.Along the way, he explores the ancient roots of scholarship, the Library of Alexandria, the editorial process behind academic journals, and why scholars continue to devote themselves to careful study, writing, and publication.Why do people spend years researching subjects most will never notice? Is scholarship simply about credentials and prestige—or is it about serving others through truth, accuracy, and understanding?Join Fred for an honest look at the value of academic work and why it still matters today.#jesus #podcast #faith #bible #christ #biblestudy #theology #scholar #history #elite #vlog #research #books #booktok #booktube #author #typesetting #publishing #journal Study deeper with GlossaHouse:
