Like the rest of the world, we are currently living in a time of economic uncertainty. Economists are forecasting the NZ dollar's decrease in value, and there have been debates about whether the official cash rate should decrease. Professor Robert MacCulloch is one of the academics that believe the OCR should stay as is. Producer Faith spoke to MacCulloch about his stance.

Over the course of our conversation, Prof. MacCulloch explains the impetus behind his book as unsettling many “settled facts” about the Christian history of sexuality. We talk about differing views on sex before the Fall, sex in the eschaton, modern approaches to sexuality like purity culture, when weddings began to be held in churches, and some of the terrifying legends about homosexuality perpetuated by Christians. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: the Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Adishian and Dr. John Anthony Dunne. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

There's confusion around the Reserve Bank Governor's resignation. Adrian Orr's announced he's quitting, two years into his second five-year tenure. Neither the Prime Minister nor Finance Minister are giving any details of why he's abruptly quit. University of Auckland Business School Professor Robert MacCulloch told Kerre Woodham that while we don't know for certain, the criticism Orr has received over the years likely played a factor. He recommends not getting too political about it, saying that one shouldn't take their eye off the ball that he was a bad governor, and the country stagnated due to significant mistakes made during his tenure.

An economics expert says cutting the Official Cash Rate is unwarranted. The Reserve Bank is set to release its first 2025 OCR decision on Wednesday. Many economists are predicting a 50 basis point cut - from 4.25 percent to 3.75. Auckland University economics professor Robert MacCulloch says the bank's only meant to focus on inflation, which is already on target. "They're not looking at the inflation rate - it's exactly at 2 percent. But they're panicking about the state of the economy, that's the truth. I think that's what's going on."

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating origins and esoteric significance of the term larva. We begin by exploring its classical Latin meaning as a ghostly apparition or malevolent spirit, drawing from ancient Roman religious traditions. Discover how larvae were seen as dangerous spirits that disturbed the living, and how these concepts evolved over time. As we trace the term through history, you'll see how larva came to represent not just ghosts, but also astral parasites in modern occultism, feeding off negative emotions and unresolved psychic energy. Learn how figures like Blavatsky, Crowley, and Bardon interpreted larvae as psychic parasites, and how the term has even found its way into modern biological terminology. We'll also discuss the festival of Lemuria in Roman culture, where rituals were performed to exorcise these malevolent spirits, and the symbolic significance of masks in esoteric traditions.

Recently, the United States Federal Reserve has cut interest rates by 50 basis points, citing signs of economic slowdown and lowering inflation rates. This decision, although overseas, is heavily connected to New Zealand as almost all state economies are tied to the United States. Following this decision, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand may choose to follow in the same footsteps. This decision may reduce or slow the current recession, which New Zealand is already in the midst of, worse than the two-thousand and eight financial crisis. However, the odds of igniting consumer price may also increase leading to asset inflation additionally increasing. Sasha spoke to professor of Business and Economics Robert MacCulloch from the University of Auckland about a deeply complicated issue, which affects all New Zealanders.

A macroeconomics professor is hitting back at a forecast our economy is on track for a soft-landing.  Infometrics has revised its expectations for next year up to 0.9% growth, saying strong migration figures are having an effect.  Auckland University Professor Robert MacCulloch told Tim Dower that the report is silly.  He questions how they could come out with a line like that when next year the International Monetary Fund ranks our GDP growth at 180 out of 189 countries in the world.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Treasury's Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Update forecasts no recession but shows the Government will be in deficit longer than predicted in May and take on billions more debt.  It's predicted that the government won't return to surplus until 2027, a year later than previously forecast.   Robert MacCulloch, Auckland University Professor of Macroeconomics, told Kerre Woodham that in his opinion, how Grant Robertson described the update didn't add up.  He said that Robertson argued that the GDP was growing, and wages were going up faster than inflation and as a result kiwis should be feeling cost of living pressures less, which doesn't feel right.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An economics professor says the Reserve Bank has made a mistake with yesterday's higher-than-predicted hike. The Reserve Bank hiked up the OCR by 50 basis points to 5.25 percent, the highest it's been since the 2008 global financial crisis. Dr Robert MacCulloch, an economics professor from the University of Auckland says there was no need for the Reserve Bank to push the OCR up that high. "I don't think there was a need to go up 50 basis points, I think at the most they should've gone up 25 or maybe not at all. And the market was certainly expecting 25."

An Auckland University economics professor says Reserve Bank attempts to control inflation risk spinning out of control.  Robert MacCulloch says the recent official cash rate rises are an over-correction.  The central bank raised the rate half-a-percent to 5.25-percent yesterday; higher than most big bank economists had been expecting.  Is the central bank now taking things too far? MacCulloch spoke to Corin Dann.  

Over the past week, there has been much discussion around how the Government should fund our Cyclone Gabrielle recovery, and whether we should be shoring up existing infrastructure in anticipation of more weather events occurring.

Diarmaid Ninian John MacCullouch  (31 October 1951) is a British ecclesiastic historian.  He is currently Professor of History of the Church at Oxford University and has been a Fellow of St. Cross College since 1995.  MacCulloch was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London (FSA) in 1978, as a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (FRHistS) in 1982, and as a Fellow of the British Academy (FBA) in 2001.  Outside of his many outstanding accomplishments he is an award winning author and New York Times Bestseller.  MacCullouch earned his BA (1972), MA (1976) and PhD (1977) from Cambridge University. Diarmaid's book: History of Christianity: the first three thousand years (Penguin/Allen Lane) inspired the 2009 BBC TV series of the same name.  The book won McGill University's Peter Cundill Prize for history (2010).  The world's largest prize for this academia. In 2018, MacCulloch released the biography Thomas Cromwell: A Life.  Of his greatest critiques has been how the Church of England regards homosexuality. "I was ordained Deacon (Church of England).  But, being a gay man, it was just impossible to proceed further, within the conditions of the Anglican set-up, because I was determined that I would make no bones about who I was; I was brought up to be truthful, and truth has always mattered to me.  The Church couldn't cope and so we parted company." --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/iantrottier/support

Historian and New York Times bestselling author shares the complete biography of Thomas Cromwell, the man behind Henry VIII Since the sixteenth century we have been fascinated by Henry VIII and the man who stood beside him, guiding him, enriching him, and enduring the king's insatiable appetites and violent outbursts until Henry ordered his beheading in July 1540. After a decade of sleuthing in the royal archives, Diarmaid MacCulloch has emerged with THOMAS CROMWELL: A Revolutionary Life, a tantalizing new understanding of Henry's mercurial chief minister. History has not been kind to the son of a Putney brewer who became the architect of England's split with Rome. However, in THOMAS CROMWELL, MacCulloch unveils a more sympathetic figure. Was Cromwell the villain of history or the victim of its creation? MacCulloch sifted through letters and court records for answers and found Cromwell’s fingerprints on some of the most transformative decisions of Henry’s turbulent reign. However, he also found Cromwell the man, an administrative genius, and loving father. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Diarmaid MacCulloch is Professor of the History of the Church at Oxford University. His books include Thomas Cranmer: A Life, which won the Whitbread Biography Prize, the James Tait Black Prize, and the Duff Cooper Prize; The Reformation: A History, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Wolfson Prize; and Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years, a New York Times bestseller that won the Cundill Prize in History. An Anglican deacon, knighted in 2012, he has presented many highly celebrated documentaries for television and radio. He lives in Oxford, England. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

Despite ranking among the most influential people in English history, Thomas Cromwell has long eluded biographers and historians. In Thomas Cromwell: A Revolutionary Life (Viking, 2018), though, Diarmaid MacCulloch provides readers with the definitive study of this key figure in the English Reformation. Drawing upon the full range of the available archival material and his own deep understanding of the era, MacCulloch shows how Cromwell's views and achievements often belie the historical reputation that has formed around him. The son of a yeoman, Cromwell emerged by dint of his abilities and language skills to become a trusted servant of the Lord Chancellor, Cardinal Wolsey, in the 1520s. When Wolsey lost favor because of his failure to obtain for Henry VIII an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, Cromwell survived and established himself as a trusted adviser to the king. By 1534 he cemented his position as Henry's chief minister, becoming the political architect of England's break with the Catholic Church and the English Reformation that followed. As MacCulloch demonstrates, Cromwell's skills as a Parliamentary manager and his experience with Church affairs were key to his role in the events of the 1530s, though in the end his formidable skills proved insufficient when Cromwell fell out of Henry's favor by the end of the decade and was executed without trial in 1540.

Fairyland: The Enchanted Realm of the Fairy Folk Do you believe in fairytales?  The term ‘fairy’ is used to loosely describe a type of legendary or mythical being of romance and folklore. These unsubstantial creatures are often of diminutive size (Edwards, 1974). As spiritual entities fairies are considered to be supernatural, preternatural or metaphysical beings in possession off unbounded magical powers. In European folklore and fairy tales they are described as typically invisible or non-substantial spirits who live on earth in proximity to, or in association with mortal human beings. Fairies are presumed to possess knowledge of hidden natural powers which therefore “…corresponds with their power of making time appear long or short to those mortals who are lured into their company.” (MacCulloch, 1912). "No. You see children know such a lot now, they soon don't believe in fairies, and every time a child says, 'I don't believe in fairies,' there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead." J. M. Barrie, Peter & Wendy (1911) “The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”  ― W.B. Yeats

What was life like 200 years ago? Would you eat better? How would you iron your shirts? When nature called...you get the picture. Or you will, if you visit 'Hearth & Home,' an exhibit at Morristown's Macculloch Hall Historical Museum. As part of its 200th anniversary, the museum is exploring the daily lives of the Macculloch family way back when. Time-travel with museum Executive Director Carrie Fellows, as she takes Kevin Coughlin of MorristownGreen.com on a 19-minute spin through the 19th century.

Music, stories, and facts for Midsummer 2008 Always great to hear from you! Email garyandruth@celticmythpodshow.com, or call us using Speakpipe More resources over at our main Website at http://celticmythpodshow.com Show Summary: We celebrate the Midsummer Festival with a massive offering of goodies. So we've divided the episode into two parts. The first part contains a reading from The Religion of the Ancient Celts, another from a modern book called Fairy Healing, some music, and a story by Willie Meikle called The First Silkie. Running Order: Intro 0:40 News & Views 1:32 The Religion of the Ancient Celts by J.A. MacCulloch 7:08 Fairy Healing by Margie McArthur 10:01 Shimmering Wings by Gaelic Wind Project 15:02 The First Silkie by Willie Meikle 21:27 The Ladychant 31:15 The Summer Solstice 34:01 Outtakes 35:34 We hope you enjoy it! Gary & Ruthie x x x     News & Views We talk about Midsummer being celebrated on the 20th, 21st or 22nd of June. Midsummer is traditionally a time for fairies - although it is dangerous to visit the fairy world at this time! We talk about the Solstice and time that the sun appears to wobble in its 'apparent' orbit around the earth.    The Religion of the Ancient Celts by J. A. MacCulloch We select a passage concerning the Midsummer rituals from the Religions of the Ancient Celts by J. A. MacCulloch. This book, which appears for the first time on the Internet at Sacred Texts, is one of the earliest scholarly treatments of the ancient Celtic religion. Written early in the 20th Century, Religion of the Ancient Celts includes extensive treatment of that perennially fascinating subject, the Druids. MacCulloch details the Celtic belief in reincarnation and a spectral otherworld; documents the enormous pantheon of now-obscure gods and goddesses, including many local deities; and describes totemistic and animistic beliefs. In addition, MacCulloch does not flinch (nor sensationalize) when describing the darker side of Celtic practices, including the famous 'Burning Man' human sacrifices, cannibalism and exogamous incest.   Fairy Healing: the Lore and Legacy by Margie McArthur We then present a small section of a modern book about Fairy Healing: The Lore and Legacy written by Margie McArthur. The section we read is from Chapter 5: The Irish Traditions and tells us about the Fairy Doctor. Thank you to Margie for allowing us to read this for you. She has her home on the web at Brigid's Hearth where you can find out about this and her other books. She also runs a fairy healing website. Find out more about Margie McArthur in our Contributor pages.    Shimmering Wings by Gaelic Wind Project They hail from Essen, Germany. Yet the repertoire of Gaelic Wind Project consists of Irish traditional songs and tunes, but they also perform their own material. This Irish folk band consists of two female lead vocalists who are accompanied by Irish wooden flute, accordion, guitar, Irish bouzouki and percussion. Gaelic Wind Project is a nice addition to any Celtic music collection. "Our new song Shimmering Wings is inspired by Juliet Marillier´s novel Daughter of the Forest. Here you´ll find more information about the author and her books." You can find the Gaelic Wind Project on the web at their homesite (now sadly gone). You can also find them on CD Baby.   The First Silkie by Willie Meikle Willie Meikle is a Scottish Author who writes Fantasy and Horror Fiction and has eight books published. Many of his stories and books are set in Scotland and are weaved with Mythology and folklore. Willie has had 130 stories published in the genre press, both in paper and on-line magazines and his work has appeared in the UK, Ireland, the USA, India, Greece, Romania and Canada. He has graciously allowed us to present an except from his novel, The Midnight Eye Files: The Sirens and concerns the origins of the Silkie – a fey creature able to shift from seal to human form. The tale tells us of the origin of the Silkie which concerns Viking Gods, Bold Fishermen and a wager between Gods and Men. You can find out more about Willie and his work at his website or you can read more details about this fantastic author in our Contributor pages.   The Ladychant by Gary, Ruthie & friends With thanks to three young friends of ours, we present our very unprofessional (but fun!) version of the Chant of the Lady. A big Thank You to Stacey, Tania and Jessica. You can download this chant from us by clicking Ladychant. Lyrics Lady, spin your Circle bright, Weave your web of dark and light. Earth, Air, Fire and Water, Bind us as one. Maiden, spin your Circle white, Weave a web of shinning light. Stag and Hawk, Bear and Wolf, Bind us as one. Mother, spin your Circle red, Weave a web of glowing thread. Earth, Air, Fire and Water, Bind us as one. Wise one, spin your Circle black, Weave the wisdom that we lack. Moonlight, Sunlight, Starlight, Shimmer, Bind us as one. Lady, spin your Circle bright, Weave your web of dark and light. Earth, Air, Fire and Water, Bind us as one.   Winter Solstice 'Down Under' We talk about the Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.   Get EXTRA content in the Celtic Myth Podshow App for iOS, Android & Windows Contact Us: You can leave us a message by using the Speakpipe Email us at: garyandruth@celticmythpodshow.com.
