Podcasts about man who was thursday

A surprising number of Catholic conversions in the last hundred years begin with one man: G. K. Chesterton. A modern Catholic favorite, Chesterton looms large in subjects as diverse as theology, satire, marginalia, philosophy, politics, and mystery fiction. Our guest today is Dale Ahlquist, founder and president of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton. His own journey of conversion started with Chesterton's The Everlasting Man. In our conversation, we visit many of Chesterton's ideas, concluding with the much misunderstood “distributism”—a Chestertonian practical philosophy and the subject of Ahlquist's co-edited book of essays titled Localism: Coming Home to Catholic Social Teaching.

 Thinking is the whole reason the “What I've Been Reading” segment exists on the podcast. In fact, it's why I read at all. It's gratifying to read things that confirm what you already were thinking, and that can be a worthwhile exercise. But usually the “thinking” to which I refer in this list is the tougher kind — getting outside my comfort zone and considering other possibilities. Sometimes I change my mind, sometimes I don't, and sometimes I just think I need to read another book. In any case, reading done right encourages you to think, and thinking is a good thing — as long as you don't think your way out of fearing God and keeping His commandments. Anyway, this list should give you a notion of what I've been thinking about so far in 2024. Let's get started. 10. Rethinking the Synoptic Problem, David Alan Black and David R. Beck, editors9.

"With a fierce exclamation and a French gesture..." I'm very curious about both the exclamation and the gesture. This classic detective story was narrated by Ben Brinicombe, this week's guest narrator. Here are some links to Ben's work, including his podcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/757040 Gilbert Keith Chesterton, born in West London in 1874, emerged as a versatile and prolific figure in English literature. The son of a prosperous estate agent, Chesterton received his education at St Paul's School and later at the Slade School of Art. Initially venturing into the world of art criticism, he transitioned to become a manuscript reader for a publishing house, marking the inception of his literary career. Chesterton's notable conversion to Roman Catholicism occurred in 1922, influencing his later works significantly. A prolific writer, he authored essays, short stories, poems, drama, and history, with "The Man Who Was Thursday" (1908) standing out as one of his most renowned novels. His enduring legacy extends beyond his literary contributions to include his role as the first President of the Detection Club, where members pledged to uphold 'fair play' in their mystery fiction. Father Brown, G.K. Chesterton's fictional detective, presents a departure from the conventional detective archetype. Unassuming and self-effacing, Father Brown surprises with his shrewd and worldly nature, confounding expectations. His unique crime-solving methodology involves a deep understanding of human nature, wherein he morally identifies with the criminal to unravel their motivations. In stories like "The Secret of Father Brown" (1927), Chesterton reveals Father Brown's distinctive approach, where the detective confesses to understanding the mind of the murderer by placing himself in their shoes. This empathetic perspective, hidden beneath a light and whimsical surface, sets Father Brown apart as a character with profound moral insight in the realm of mystery fiction. "The Invisible Man" is a compelling story by G.K. Chesterton that first captivated readers when it appeared in Cassell's Magazine in February 1911. Set in Camden Town, North London, the narrative revolves around Laura Hope, a café manager haunted by the looming presence of a former suitor, James Welkin. The protagonist, John Turnbull Angus, becomes entangled in the mystery when he encounters Isidore Smythe, another suitor with a peculiar message warning of his death. The plot unfolds with a series of threatening letters, mysterious occurrences, and a bloodstain in Smythe's flat. Father Brown, along with the private investigator Flambeau, investigates the case, leading to a surprising revelation. Chesterton's storytelling prowess shines through in "The Invisible Man," showcasing his preference for the term 'mystery story' over 'detective story,' emphasizing the puzzle's significance. The story, later compiled in The Innocence of Father Brown, exemplifies Chesterton's ability to blend intricate mysteries with moral and psychological depth. Learn more about your ad choices.

John J. Miller is joined by Graham Hillard of the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal to discuss G. K. Chesterton's book, 'The Man Who Was Thursday.'

This week on The Literary Life podcast, we wrap up our discussion of The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton. After sharing their commonplace quotes, Angelina, Cindy and Thomas dive right in to the last section and share their various thoughts on finishing this book. Angelina and Thomas talk about some of Chesterton's thoughts on Impressionism in the arts. Cindy and Thomas make some connections with the old rhyme about “Monday's Child.” They talk about more of the allegorical elements that are clearly spelled out by Chesterton, as well as many other relations they make to other stories, including the one great story. Be sure to join us next week when we have a special episode about why translation matters with Dr. Anne Phillips! Angelina is teaching a class on How to Read Beowulf August 28-September 1, 2023. Get in on this mini-class at House of Humane Letters. Thomas is also teaching a webinar along with Michael Williams on the modern poets W. H. Auden and T. S. Eliot on September 28th. You can now register at House of Humane Letters. Commonplace Quotes: Almost everywhere and almost invariably the man who has sought a cryptogram in a great masterpiece has been highly exhilarated, logically justified, morally excited, and entirely wrong. But it is all detail; and detail by itself means madness. The very definition of a lunatic is a man who has taken details out of their real atmosphere. The truth is, I fear, that madness has a great advantage over sanity. Sanity is always careless. Madness is always careful. G. K. Chesterton, from The Soul of Wit Looking for an author's life in his books is vulgar anyhow, and can be most misleading. L. P. Hartley, from A Perfect Woman Perhaps it is not worthwhile to try to kill heresies which so rapidly kill themselves, and the cult of suicide committed suicide some time ago. But it should not wish it supposed as some think I have supposed, that in resisting the heresy of pessimism, I have implied the equally morbid and diseased insanity of optimism. I was not then considering whether anything is really evil but whether is really evil, and in relation to the latter nightmare, it does still seem to me relevant to say that nightmares are not true and that in them even the faces of friends may appear as the faces of fiends. I tried to turn this notion of resistance to a nightmare into a topsy-turvy tale about a man who fancied himself alone among enemies and found that each of the enemies was, in fact, on his own side and in his own solitude. G. K. Chesterton, on The Man Who Was Thursday The End of the World by Dana Gioia “We're going,” they said, “to the end of the world.” So they stopped the car where the river curled, And we scrambled down beneath the bridge On the gravel track of a narrow ridge. We tramped for miles on a wooded walk Where dog-hobble grew on its twisted stalk. Then we stopped to rest on the pine-needle floor While two ospreys watched from an oak by the shore. We came to a bend, where the river grew wide And green mountains rose on the opposite side. My guides moved back. I stood alone, As the current streaked over smooth flat stone. Shelf by stone shelf the river fell. The white water goosetailed with eddying swell. Faster and louder the current dropped Till it reached a cliff, and the trail stopped. I stood at the edge where the mist ascended, My journey done where the world ended. I looked downstream. There was nothing but sky, The sound of the water, and the water's reply. “The End of the World” from Interrogations at Noon. Copyright © 2001 by Dana Gioia. Reprinted for educational purposes only.

On the Literary Life podcast this week Angelina, Cindy and Thomas continue their series on G. K. Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday. Before diving into the plot of these chapters, our hosts discuss the similarities and differences between Chesterton and Kafka's works of fiction. Thomas gives some historical context on anarchy as well as assassinations in the time period of this book. Angelina points out the Dante-esque language in this section, as well as the continuing themes of chivalry. Cindy highlights the character of Sunday and how he looms large, quite literally, over everyone's imaginations in the story. Some other thoughts our hosts discuss include modernity's mindset as it relates to the atmosphere of this story, the idea of the underdog fighting against all odds, and the humorous moments that break some of the tension. Be sure to come back next week when we wrap up our series on The Man Who Was Thursday.

Commonplace Quotes: It's important, too, that everything that has a story, such as a myth, should be read or listened to purely as a story. Many people grow up without really understanding the difference between imaginative and discursive writing. On the rare occasions when they encounter poems or even pictures, they treat them exactly as though they were intended to be pieces of more or less disguised information. Their questions are all based on this assumption: “What is he trying to get across?” “What am I supposed to get out of it?” “Why doesn't someone explain it to me?” “Why couldn't he have written it in a different way so that I could understand him?” The art of listening to story is a basic training for the imagination. Northrop Frye, The Educated Imagination The biographer is there to explain rather than to judge. To get a clear view of a man we do not need to be told if his actions were good…but how and why he came to do them. Lord David Cecil, “Modern Biography” Or read again The Man Who Was Thursday. Compare it with another good writer, Kafka. Is the difference simply that the one is ‘dated' and the other contemporary? Or is it rather that while both give a powerful picture of the loneliness and bewilderment which each one of us encounters in his (apparently) single-handed struggle with the universe, Chesterton, attributing to the universe a more complicated disguise, and admitting the exhilaration as well as the terror of the struggle, has got in rather more, is more balanced: in that sense, more classical, more permanent? C. S. Lewis, “Period Criticism” Selection from Paradise Lost, Book 1 by John Milton Innumerable force of Spirits arm'd That durst dislike his reign, and me preferring, His utmost power with adverse power oppos'd In dubious Battel on the Plains of Heav'n, And shook his throne.   What though the field be lost? All is not lost; the unconquerable Will, And study of revenge, immortal hate, And courage never to submit or yield: And what is else not to be overcome? Books Mentioned: The Oxford Book of Christian Verse ed. by Lord David Cecil On Stories by C. S. Lewis The Trial by Franz Kafka The Castle by Franz Kafka Day of the Assassins by Michael Burleigh The Defendant by G. K. Chesterton The Song of Roland trans. by Dorothy L. Sayers Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy King Lear by William Shakespeare The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster Support The Literary Life: Become a patron of The Literary Life podcast as part of the “Friends and Fellows Community” on Patreon, and get some amazing bonus content!

Verlyn Flieger rejoins me to talk about her first important work--and really the first very important work on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion--Splintered Light: Logos and Language in Tolkien's World. I was really excited to have this conversation, as I read this book just under two decades ago and it not only introduced me to Barfield's ideas, but also made The Silmarillion far more interesting and meaningful to me than it had been.  So, enjoy, and thanks so much to Verlyn for coming on the show again.  It's been such an honor and a treat to be able to talk with her.   I'm about out of podcasts!  With the semester starting up, this may well be the final podcast of the season--but I intend to return for Season 4, probably sometime in March.  You'll probably have a few scattered podcasts from me before then, so watch this space! I've pretty much run out of regular co-contributors, and I worry that the nature of this podcast suffers if it's mostly interviews with published experts (fun as those are), book promotions, or me just talking on my own.  This should be primarily friends talking about good books (and many, many thanks to all the friends who have joined me here)! If any listeners would like to join me to discuss a book (say, The Silver Chair or The Man Who Was Thursday, or something else), just say the word.  I'd love to have you chime in for an episode or two at the very least. As always, email me at inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com or give the podcast a rating on iTunes.   Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to the Literary Life podcast this week and our new series on G. K. Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday. Angelina, Cindy, and Thomas open with their commonplace quotes, as usual, then proceed to setting up the background for this book and the man Chesterton himself. Thomas also shares Chesterton's poem to E. C. Bentley that opens this book and gives a brief explication of the poem. Following this, our hosts recap each chapter in the first section. Angelina makes several connections to Paradise Lost in this section, as well as pointing out the romantic and chivalric quest elements in the story. Cindy highlights the fact that we also have the fair maiden character here. Join us again next week when we will cover chapters 5-10 as events become even more strange.

Commonplace Quotes: Had her mother been somebody else's mother she would perhaps have admired her unreservedly. L. P. Hartley, A Perfect Woman When a child is reading, he should not be teased with questions as to the meaning of what he has read, the signification of this word or that; what is annoying to older people is equally annoying to children. Charlotte Mason And there is…Mooreeffoc, or Chestertonian Fantasy. Mooreeffoc is a fantastic word, but it could be seen written up in every town in this land. It is Coffeeroom, view from the inside through a glass door, as it was seen by Dickens on a dark London day; and it was used by Chesterton to denote the queerness of things that have become trite, when they are seen suddenly from a new angle. J. R. R. Tolkien, “On Fairy Stories“ GKC by Walter de la Mare Knight of the Holy Ghost, he goes his way, Wisdom his motley, Truth his loving jest; The mills of Satan keep his lance in play, Pity and innocence his heart at rest.

Only G.K. Chesterton could write a detective novel about undercover poet cops bravely battling anarchists as a way of explaining the problem of evil and the revelation of God in nature. In this week's episode, Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing sit down with Producer Aaron Hill to unpack all the twists and turns in The Man Who Was Thursday—a book that is equal parts profound, existential, exhilarating, and perplexing.

The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare

The Man Who Was Thursday is considered by many critics to be G.K. Chesterton’s masterpiece. Published in 1908, it has never gone out of print. It’s simultaneously a comedy, a mystery, a philosophical action-thriller, a spoof on anarchism and German philosophy, and a serial romp from the real into the surreal and back. The guys talk about the book, its themes, and its relevance for today. Spoiler alert: you can’t deal with the book without giving away some of the plot, but hopefully not too much. And even with the spoilers, the book has a lot more going on than just the plotline.

Plagues periodically exact a heavy toll on human life--and much more. They devastate economies, exacerbate social disorder, shock governance systems, provide fodder for political violence, and interact in surprising ways with terrorism.In this conversation, David Priess and longtime RAND Corporation terrorism expert Brian Michael Jenkins talk about the long nature of pandemics, the history of public resistance to efforts to protect public health, links between plagues and social unrest, how the concept of comorbidity applies to the effects of pandemics, the relationship between plagues and political violence, the challenges of rumors and rapid communication, the threat of biological terrorism, and pragmatic ways to counter domestic political violence.Among the works mentioned in this episode:The book Plagues and Their Aftermath by Brian Michael JenkinsThe short story "The Stolen Bacillus" by H.G. WellsBrian Michael Jenkins's article, "Elements of a Pragmatic Strategy to Counter Domestic Political Violence," in the CTC Sentinel (October 2022)The book The True Believer by Eric HofferThe book The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K.

“The accuser” — still catching up with the unexpected turn of events, Syme and his fellow policemen dress up in their costumes provided by Sunday. They attend a strange masquerade party seemingly populated by costumes of various creatures and objects from their anti-anarchist adventure, and also by one other unexpected guest.

“The six philosophers” — chasing the hot air balloon carrying the President, the six tired and tattered policemen argued over the true nature of their mysterious quarry. It was in the midst of their hunting and comparing first impressions that they came upon an unexpected stranger who drastically altered the goal of their adventure.

“The pursuit of the President” — rallied together as the band of undercover policemen, Syme and his allies determined to address the President directly and learn the meaning behind the entire charade. Little did they know, the President was more than determined to evade them using drastic measures.

“The earth in anarchy” — Syme and his companions race against the mob of anarchists to the police station in the hope of gathering reinforcements. As they make their way, the mob grows and the world turns on its head.

“The criminals chase the police” — after identifying the wicked half-smile of the Secretary among the masked mob, Syme and his companions decide the only option left is to make a run for it and hope they can find help nearby.

“The duel” — in the early morning, Syme faces off against his talented opponent, the Marquis. Determined to keep him from getting on the train to Paris, Syme fights hard to keep in step with his foe, and in a moment of great chance when he happens to land a blow, Syme discovers something more mysterious and shocking instead.

In a surreal turn-of-the-century London, Gabriel Syme, a poet, is recruited to a secret anti-anarchist task force at Scotland Yard. Lucian Gregory, an anarchist poet, is the only poet in Saffron Park, until he loses his temper in an argument over the purpose of poetry with Gabriel Syme, who takes the opposite view.

“The man in spectacles” — Syme and Professor de Worms make their way over to Dr Bull's home early in the morning to attempt to learn the destructive plans given to the Marquis.

“The professor explains” — finally sitting across from his pursuer, Syme uncovers a startling truth and learns how Professor de Worms came to be part of the anarchists council.

“The unaccountable conduct of Professor de Worms” — after the exposure of the spy among the council, Syme decides to take the first opportunity he can to find space to think about what he's gotten himself into, and more importantly, how he's going to proceed. It is during this much needed reflection that he notices something incredibly “off” about one of his fellow council members.

“The exposure” — surrounded by the powerful men of the corrupt council of anarchists, Syme sits in to hear of their upcoming plans for chaos. President Sunday astonishes the group with an impromptu change of venue in order to make a shocking discovery.

“The feast of fear” — Syme is met by his guide to the anarchists council and is caught by surprise at the unique oddity of each member of the Sunday's council.

“The tale of a detective” — As Syme travels by tug boat towards his unknown destination, we learn of how he came to be an undercover detective in the first place.

“The man who was Thursday” — with secrets shared between Gregory and Syme, there is but a moment before they are joined by the other anarchists to elect one of their own to the post of “Thursday.” Tensions rise for fear of what would happen should anyone else learn Syme's true identity.

“The secret of Gabriel Syme” —having arrived at a dark and tiny pub, Gregory proceeds to share his big secret with Syme in the hopes of getting the upper hand. Little does he know that Syme has a secret all his own.

“The two poets of Saffron Park” — Mr. Lucian Gregory, a poet who spouts words of anarchy, is interrupted one evening by Gabriel Syme, a secret policeman who spouts poetry and philosophy of his own. Insecurity rises in Gregory as he feels he is not being taken seriously, and leads him to extend a mysterious offer to Syme just to prove how very serious about his values he is.

First aired on CBS radio network, in 1938, The Mercury Theater on the Air was an dramatic radio program, created and hosted by Orson Welles. The weekly hour-long show presented classic literary works performed by Welles's celebrated Mercury Theatre repertory company, with music composed or arranged by Bernard Herrmann.

In late June 1938, Orson Welles was approached by CBS. He was offered a one-hour, network sustained time slot on Mondays at 9PM. William Paley's concept: A Mercury Theater of the air for a nine-week trial run. Unlike Welles and Houseman's theater productions which had several weeks of rehearsal, the show would begin in just two, on July 11th. Houseman was nervous. He'd never done radio. Welles would direct, narrate, and star. The Mercury theater troupe would support. Bernard Hermann would be musical director and Davidson Taylor supervisor. Welles called the show First Person Singular. A take on Bram Stoker's Dracula was selected for the first episode. Welles and Houseman had total creative control. The premiere set the tone. Over the next nine weeks, listeners heard adaptations of classics like Treasure Island, A Tale of Two Cities, The 39 Steps, The Man Who Was Thursday, The Affairs of Anatole, and The Count of Monte Cristo, for which, Welles simulated the sound of a dungeon by having the actors play their scene from the floor of the CBS restroom. He placed two dynamic microphones against the bases of the toilet seat in order to achieve realistic subterranean reverberations. After September 5th, 1938, CBS renewed the series under a new name: The Mercury Theater of The Air, moving it to Sundays at 8PM, opposite NBC's highest-rated show: Edgar Bergen's Chase and Sanborn Hour. It set the stage for a series of events which would forever alter the course of Orson Welles' life.

Glenn's feature film editing credits include: King Of California, The Devil's Rejects, Halloween, 31, The Turning, and Black Box. Glenn's television work includes: The Vampire Diaries, Preacher, Stan Against Evil, and Altered Carbon. Glenn has produced several film and television projects including: 31, LX 2048, The Man Who Was Thursday, and Paradise City.

The Man Who Was Thursday, A Nightmare. By G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936).Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What does a surrealist Christian allegory have to do with pulp fiction? Everything. G.K. Chesterton's classic, influential masterpiece, subtitled "A Nightmare", echoes in every spy and conspiracy story you've ever read. "The adventures may be mad, but the adventurer must be sane." --Please leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes!-- Website: pendantaudio.com Twitter: @pendantweb Facebook: facebook.com/pendantaudio Tumblr: pendantaudio.tumblr.com YouTube: youtube.com/pendantproductions

A recording of a paper delivered during an online conference, Philosophical Theologies in South Africa (hosted by Hugenote Kollege) on 24 March 2022. Abstract: At the very end of his book Orthodoxy (1908), G. K. Chesterton makes a claim regarding the “pathos” of Christ, which was “natural,” and “almost casual.” However, Chesterton contends that one dimension of Christ's pathos remained remarkably hidden, namely his “mirth.” The word “mirth” is quite literally the last word of that book. Because we have no record of Jesus laughing in the Gospels, just as we have no idea what he actually looked like, this conclusion is offered as a matter of fancy. It is perhaps not unexpected that Chesterton would say this, though, given his own personality and inclinations. Those familiar with his work will recognise his association with joy and humour. Since Chesterton offers no explicit justification, however, the question remains open as to whether there may be more than a merely subjective reason for it. Perhaps it is possible to account for such a conclusion on a philosophical and theological basis. My aim is to do that in this paper. More particularly, I want to articulate how there is, in Chesterton's writings—especially exemplified in his novel The Man Who Was Thursday (1907)—a kind of incarnational phenomenology at work that allows him to reconcile other more explicit dimensions of Christ's pathos with an undisclosed mirthful exuberance.
