Today we talk about the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. We talk about the mix of Romantic and Enlightenment attitudes and how it leads to problems without the proper oversight. We talk about technology and the responsibility that comes with creation. We talk about how ostracized people often learn to resent the world they live in. Hope you love it and have a great week! :) Sponsors: Better Help: https://www.BetterHelp.com/PHILTHIS Nord VPN: https://nordvpn.com/philothis Thank you so much for listening!

He is here to discuss his first book, The Tragedy of True Crime: Four Guilty Men and the Stories That Define Us, which explores society's fascination with true crime through the personal stories of four convicted murderers, including himself. In our conversation, we dive into how Lennon's experiences inform his writing, how he maintains focus while in prison, why he doesn't use prison abolition language in his work, and his anxiety around his new book.The Stacks Book Club pick for October is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.

Why does much of the history of philosophy neglect the topic of birth? In episode 142 of Overthink, Ellie and David chat with Jennifer Banks about her book Natality: Toward a Philosophy of Birth. They think through the debate between pronatalism and antinatalism, and consider alternatives to these positions. They also discuss Hannah Arendt's account of natality and what Mary Shelley's Frankenstein tells us about the relationship between birth and monstrosity. What is birth, and why does it seem to defy so many of our concepts and categories? What's the difference between being-born and giving-birth? And how would our view of ourselves change if we saw ourselves through the lens of a “philosophy of birth” (as opposed to, say, “a philosophy of death”)? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts dive further into Hannah Arendt's works, focusing on the link between her concept of natality and her ideas about the public/private distinction.Works Discussed:Hannah Arendt, The Human ConditionJennifer Banks, Natality: Toward a Philosophy of BirthAlison Stone, Being Born: Birth and PhilosophyDean Spears and Michael Geruso, After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for PeopleMarjolein Oele, “The Dissolution of the Pregnant City: A Philosophical Account of Early Pregnancy Loss and Enigmatic Grief”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Think you know the story? Think again! Classic tales of literature, myth, history and legend as you've never heard them before... straight from the mouths of the characters themselves. We've interviewed the key participants in the most famous and enduring stories of them all, and in five- to -ten minute monologues these legends give wildly contradictory accounts of what really happened... Think you know the characters? Think again! Speaking candidly and definitively in an attempt to set the record straight, these famous figures finally reveal their true natures... shattering their popular images. Mary Shelley's classic tale of man dabbling in the creation of his Prometheus has never been told like this! (Well... Rocky Horror might have gotten the ball rolling!) This is modern tale told to our Interviewer (Kat Waterflame) in two separate interviews. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this episode of the show we are beginning a brand-new monthly retrospective and this time we are setting our sights on one Stuart Gordon and his debut feature Re-Animator. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Stuart Gordon's beginnings, how his debut draws from exploitation cinema and how it anchors itself in literary connections to H.P. Lovecraft and Mary Shelley. We also talk about Gordon's splatter horror and its place between Italian masters, Troma, Roger Corman and Hammer Horror, the film's own self-awareness and playfulness and much more!Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsIntro: Infraction - CassetteOutro: Infraction - DaydreamHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!

Join us this week for a deeper look into a classic prayer, the Serenity Prayer. This is a prayer that people recovering from alcoholism and addiction have been using for many years and it is the unofficial prayer of most recovery programs. What many people in the rooms of recovery know is the short form of this prayer but the boys at TRP take a deeper look into the original version of the prayer. Then we switch gears entirely and get into the origins of All Hallows Eve, as it is the beginning of spooky season. Join us this week as we take a history lesson on two vastly different topics that will be sure to leave you laughing, intrigued, inspired, and maybe even slightly scared.“There is something at work in my soul, which I do not understand.” — Mary Shelley, Frankenstein Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

Did you know that Mary Shelley was a teenager when she started writing Frankenstein in 1814? Or that England's most prolific goal scorer - man or woman - was superstar striker Lily Parr, who scored a staggering 997 goals between 1919 and 1951? When Kate Mosse launched the #WomenInHistory campaign, asking people to highlight women whose achievements have been overlooked by history, she received thousands of nominations from around the globe. The result is her new book, Feminist History For Every Day of the Year. In it, she celebrates the extraordinary achievements of activists, writers, scientists, politicians and others, some of whom are household names, and others who deserve to be better known. She sat down with broadcaster Shahidha Bari to share some of these incredible stories. They talked about the importance of putting women and girls back into history - including those with complicated or problematic views - and why rights are always fought for, never given, and need to be protected. Kate Mosse is a novelist and founder of the Women's Prize for Fiction and the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction. Feminist History For Every Day of the Year is out now. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tout ce que vous avez voulu savoir sur le genre littéraire du Steampunk avec l'essayiste Arthur Morgan, auteur de l'essai A Toute vapeur ! Le Steampunk en question. Coup de rétro sur le Steampunk Plébiscité depuis les année 2000 par les communautés numériques mais aussi par le fandom de l'imaginaire, le genre du Steampunk fêtera bientôt ses 40 ans. Lancé en 1987 par trois romanciers de fantasy et de science-fiction (James Blaylock, Tim Powers et K.W. Jeter), le terme steampunk (« punk à vapeur ») désigne des aventures naviguant entre les genres de l'imaginaire dans la révolution industrielle de l'époque victorienne. Inspiré par les oeuvres de Mary Shelley, Jules Verne et HG Wells mais aussi par d'autres oeuvres télévisuelles comme Les Mystères de l'Ouest ou graphique Le Démon des Glaces de Tardi, ce genre qui ne cesse d'évoluer avait déjà une proto-existence avant de connaître une définition. Arthur Morgan revient dans notre podcast sur les influences et l'évolution du Steampunk mais aussi sur la sympathique communauté des vaporistes. Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

This pairing of stories linked to Mary Shelley's horror story Frankenstein was Richard's idea: in this episode the four part 4th Doctor story from early 1976 and Season 13 - The Brain of Morbius, which we'll pair next time with 2020's 13th Doctor outing The Haunting of Villa Diodati from Series 12. We'll decide whether these stories have animated us like a bolt of lightning or left us feeling like mouldering corpses. Joining Richard for the discussion are Gav, Giles and, eventually, Paul. Although there seems to be something up with Paul's voice at the start. Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com Gav's excellent YouTube series Terry Nation Army can be found here: https://youtube.com/user/Dalek6388.

She's a really talented artist, who you can find by following this link: https://beagarridoart.weebly.com/, where you can buy prints of some remarkable paintings of characters from Doctor Who. The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

“Vedme aquí, el desdichado Prometeo, clavado y encadenado contra estas rocas, donde debo permanecer incontables años. Tal es el pago que recibo por haber amado a los mortales. He robado el fuego, su tesoro más preciado, y con él les he dado la ciencia que será la madre de todas las artes.” Esquilo s.V a.C Desde su publicación en 1818, "Frankenstein o el Moderno Prometeo" se ha visto como un texto visionario que trasciende el ámbito gótico para convertirse en piedra angular de la literatura moderna. Inauguró una reflexión profunda sobre el poder de la creación, la responsabilidad ética del conocimiento y la reflexión sobre lo que nos hace humanos. Mary Shelley se ha convertido en una escritora fundacional: "la madre de la ciencia ficción" que transformó la literatura al dar voz a un “monstruo” cuya complejidad emocional lo convierte en espejo de la humanidad.

En 1797 nació Mary Shelley, hija de un filósofo radical y de una pionera del feminismo. Entre tragedias personales, sueños inquietantes y la influencia del gótico y la alquimia, dio vida a Víctor Frankenstein: un moderno Prometeo que desafió los límites de la creación. Así nació no solo un monstruo literario, sino también la primera reflexión sobre ciencia, poder y transhumanismo.

En 1816, un volcán afectó el clima de todo el planeta. Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, John William Polidori y una jovencísima Mary Wollstonecraft pasaron, gracias a a ello, un año sin verano en la Villa Diodati, teniendo así las condiciones perfectas para crear a dos poderosos monstruos de la literatura: El Vampiro y la Criatura de Frankenstein.
In this Fanbase Feature, The Fanbase Weekly co-host Barbra Dillon is joined by special guests Jessica Maison (writer, Mary Shelley's School for Monsters), David Accampo (writer – Fanbase Press' The Margins, Lost Angels, Spectral: A Showcase of Fear), and Rylend Grant (Ringo Award-winning writer – Evel Knievel, The Jump, publisher - Half Evil Comics) to participate in a thorough discussion regarding Teen Wolf (1985) in light of the feature film's 40th anniversary, with topics including the film's status in the horror genre, how it paved the way for horror comedy blends like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for Teen Wolf abound in this panel discussion!)
A crumbling castle, a mad alchemist, and whispers of the dead… welcome to Frankenstein's Castle. High on a hill in Germany stands Frankenstein's Castle, once home to the infamous alchemist Johann Conrad Dippel—a man whose dark experiments may have inspired Mary Shelley's legendary monster. But beyond the chilling legends, visitors report ghostly figures drifting through the halls, disembodied whispers in the corridors, and strange shadows that move on their own. Are these the restless spirits of Dippel's failed experiments, or something even darker? Join Anne and Renata as they uncover the sinister history, haunted encounters, and spine-tingling mysteries hidden within the castle's ancient walls.
