The Assistant Professor of Football: Soccer, Culture, History.
The traditional The Assistant Professor of Football season round-up is back. I asked guests from this past year, and some from previous years whose clubs had remarkable seasons of one sort or the other how their clubs have fared, what moment stands out, and what song best embodies their club's vibe this past season. They are:Medea Voegeli, professional historian and historian of FC Thun, from episode 76. Thun are the utterly sensational champions of Switzerland this year — after just having been promoted — so Medea has a lot of good vibes to share.Then Paul Reidy, our English correspondent at Rayo Vallecano; that club portrait is episode 46. Rayo made it to the final of the best European club competition outside the Champions League, the Conference League. They lost against Crystal Palace, but this is their greatest success.Another finalist: SC Freiburg, from episode 49. Freiburg made it to the Europa League final. They also lost against an English team, Aston Villa. Patrick Bucher from the club's history working group has a lot of stories to tell from his days at the final in Istanbul.Next up is Alana McDougall, a historian at the University of Guelph in Canada who published a fabulous people's history of Liverpool and joined us in episode 72 — she's back to analyze a rather mixed season for them.Then Stefan Wally, a political scientist and Austria Salzburg aficionado, on that club in the second Austrian league. They earned promotion last year and absolutely held their own — including a derby with the Red Bull farm team that tried to finish them off.And last but not least: two teams who got relegated but also see some hope on the horizon, because their relegation has triggered — or at least coincides with — much-needed changes in ownership and leadership at their respective clubs: West Ham and 1860 Munich.West Ham were relegated from the Premier League, as I'm sure you know. That is my club in England, and Alex — who is hard at work organizing supporters for change and for atmosphere at West Ham — gives us his take. And 1860… well, never a dull day there. The Jordanian investor withheld funds, the club was forced to drop out of the third German league, and it looks like that means — freedom, finally, for 1860. Claus Melchior from 1860's section on club history will give us the download.HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE: Dubioza Kolektiv - I am from Bosnia, Take me to America (new music video, YouTube)NEW: send me a text message!

Hörbahn on Stage: Ursula Haas liest: "Zerzauste Tage" – anschließend spricht Uwe Kullnick mit der Autorin über Ihre Tätigkeiten und Ihre Aufgaben als LibrettistinLesung Ursula Haas (Hördauer ca. 26 min), Gespräch (Hördauer ca. 50 min)Moderation Uwe KullnickDas schriftstellerische Schaffen von Ursula Haas ist durch Lyrik geprägt. Davon zeugen die Tagebuchaufzeichnungen »Zerzauste Tage. Ein Jahr der Wirklichkeiten«, die gefühlvolle Einblicke in das Weben und Streben einer Poetessa und Librettistin geben. Leitmotiv sind Reflexionen über das Schreiben und den Mut, der dazu gehört. Die Aufzeichnungen setzen am Pfingstsonntag 2018 ein und enden Pfingsten 2019. Die Tage, die dazwischen liegen, sind zerzaust, sie verbinden Alltagseindrücke ebenso wie existentielle Ereignisse – etwa das Abenteuer Kuba-Reise im Januar 2019 – und Erkenntnisse eines randvollen Daseins mit poetischer Sprache. So auch das große Ereignis ihres Lebens: die Begegnung mit Rolf Liebermann, der ihr nach der Lektüre ihres Romans »Freispruch für Medea« den Auftrag anvertraute, ein Libretto zu verfassen: Beginn einer erfolgreichen Arbeit als Librettistin. Ursula Haas hat deutsch-böhmische Wurzeln und wuchs in Düsseldorf und Bonn auf. Nach dem Studium der Germanistik, Geschichte und Pädagogik in Bonn und Freiburg lebt und arbeitet sie in München. Zu ihren Arbeiten gehören Lyrik, Erzählungen, Romane, Essays, Opern- und Lieder-Libretti sowie musikbegleitende Texte zu konzertanten Opernfassungen und Theaterstücke. Zuletzt erschien 2018 in der edition bodoni ihr Gedichte- und Poesieband »Wortfisch im grünen Aquarium«. Ursula Haas: Ich bin im Krieg in Tschechien geboren, wuchs in NRW auf und lebe seit langem in München. Trotz Germanistikstudium schreibe ich seit gut 20 Jahren literarische Bücher. Mein Medea-Roman war der erste von einer Frau geschriebene! Er brachte mir auch insofern Glück, weil ich durch ihn zum Schreiben von Musiktexten (Libretti) kam. Daraus entstand z.B. die Medea-Oper mit der Musik von Rolf Liebermann, die 2001 in der Pariser Oper aufgeführt wurde. Mein Roman "Drei Frauen" von 2009 beschäftigt sich mit drei Künstlerinnenbiografien. (Camille Claudel, Tina Modotti und Lenka, die meinem Leben nachgeht). Siehe die Kritiken bei Amazon! Mein ebenfalls 2009 erschienener Lyrikband " Ich kröne dich mit Schnee" bekam 2010 den Nikolaus-Lenau-Preis. 2014 erschien im A1 Verlag der Band mit Erzählungen "Busenfreundinnen. Geschichten zu Lust und Brust". 2018 der Gedichte -und Poesie-Band "Wortfisch im Grünen Aquarium" (edition bodoni).2020 das Tagebuch "Zerzauste Tage. Ein Jahr der Wirklichkeiten" (edition bodoni).Poetisches Schreiben bestimmt mein Leben und immer wieder die Arbeit für Musiler zu schreiben wie 2020 für den Komponisten Silvan Loher über den Sommer am Rheinfall für das Rhyality immersive Art project.Schauen Sie doch auf meine Website www.poetessa.de.

In this episode I speak with psychiatrist Dr. Sumit Anand about the complex, often misunderstood nature of anger and its deep roots in personal and collective grief. Drawing on classical literature like Homer's The Iliad and Euripides' Medea, contemporary storytelling, and Jungian psychology, we deconstruct how the modern clinical approach has pathologized a vital signaling system of the soul. Dr. Anand shares profound insights from his own practice and personal history, explaining the neurobiology of rage, the illusion of "closure," and the therapeutic necessity of bypassing rationalizing narratives to address the raw pain and shame sitting beneath the surface. Together, we explore how developing conscious awareness and tracking the body's visceral responses can ultimately break generational cycles of trauma and lead to genuine psychological healing.
Has mythology given Medea a bad rap? Has her story been distorted because it was more appealing to portray her as a lusty, vengeful, violent woman married to a golden-boy hero?The essential conundrum, writes novelist Natalie Haynes, is Medea's shift from superpowered sorceress to helpless, abandoned wife. Medea is at the center of Haynes' new novel about Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece and the tragedy that flows from their love affair. She joins host Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas to talk Medea's essential juxtapositions and what ancient myths have to say to modern culture. They also talk about how Haynes' time doing stand-up comedy informs her writing. Guest:Natalie Haynes is a mythologist and the author of many novels, including “Stone Blind” and “A Thousand Ships.” Her new book is “No Friend to This House.” Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.
Ralph speaks to independent investigative journalist Lylla Younes to discuss her reporting on Israel's assault on southern Lebanon. Then, Ralph and media studies professor Robin Andersen discuss her new book "The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of the Genocide in Gaza."Lylla Younes is a Beirut-based journalist. She is an editor at The Public Source, and a frequent contributor to Drop Site News.What we've seen in the past several days is really an escalation of what's been happening since March 2nd (when the US-Israeli assault on Iran took off) and then obviously the ceasefire… What we see is a campaign of ethnic cleansing from the Israeli military in Lebanon. And that has looked like the Gaza playbook sped up, you could say, in southern Lebanon. It's looked like invading and bulldozing homes; tearing up roads; destroying, booby-trapping, and detonating entire villages and cultural sites. It's looked like targeting medical personnel—killing, at this point, over 100 since March 2nd (this is in addition to the 130 or so who were killed in the last round of fighting in 2024). In addition to that, the targeting and killing of journalists who are reporting near the border. I think it's important to note there's practically no one left in the border region. Having a press vest on and a microphone and a camera is basically like having a target on your back at this point.Lylla YounesThe pager attack was, I think it's fair to say, one of the darker days of Lebanese history. I think regardless of people's feelings about Hezbollah, the fact that you are setting men alight literally in the streets in cities all across the country, killing children, maiming children—the mark of the pager attack was that these pagers that Hezbollah members were carrying exploded in their faces and blinded them. So you have thousands of blinded people, people missing fingers. And again, some of these are relatives of Hezbollah members. It was a massive event that overwhelmed hospitals across the country. And it also marked the beginning of that 66 day [period] of escalated fighting. And it showed how deeply infiltrated Hezbollah was in an intelligence capacity. This was quite a feat by the Israeli Mossad.Lylla YounesRobin Andersen is professor emerita of media studies at Fordham University and an award-winning author of a dozen single- and co-authored books. She serves as a Project Censored Judge, and contributes to the annual State of the Free Press. She is on the Board of Directors of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), where she also writes regularly, and is an Izzy Award Judge for the Park Center for Independent Media. Her latest book is The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel's Genocide in Gaza.In my book, I look at the directives of the New York Times and CNN, and then I compare it to media coverage. And I found that, in fact, these were the ways [the directives that were passed down] in which the media was presenting the genocide in Gaza…But in terms of the Israeli directives, CNN was putting their copy through their Jerusalem bureau and the IDF was looking at it. The New York Times was simply going along with Israeli talking points. So we did find that. And the real telling part was when they finally did say that Israel dropped the bomb, it was only when Israel had admitted—or put their propaganda to the next level, which was to claim that they had killed a Hamas commander or a fighter or somebody involved in Hamas. And we found that also in the BBC. So those were direct things that came from Israel. And abandoning their journalistic mission, the US media was basically following the dictates of a foreign government.Robin AndersenTheir form of censorship was basically murder. They knew that as the genocide wore on (and Israel controlled the narrative for a very long time, and then it started to collapse) as over time we saw on the internet, we saw on our handheld devices the documentation of what was happening [they'd lose control of the narrative]. And so in a total propaganda environment, what we have to have is no noise, no opposition, no alternative information. And Israel really was trying to achieve a total propaganda environment. It wasn't enough that they had establishment in legacy media and those media were allowing outside influences to direct their editorial decisions. That wasn't quite enough.Robin AndersenNews 5/29/26* This week, Democratic Socialist Mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani unveiled his plan to construct 200,000 new rent-stabilized homes in the city over the next decade, PIX 11 reports, making good on a campaign promise that many supposedly savvy political observers doubted. In addition to the new construction, Mamdani vowed to “preserve and stabilize” an additional 200,000 via New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) repairs, increased housing code enforcement, and a special focus on development in the Bronx. In his announcement, Mamdani said “We are the largest city in the nation. We have the resources, the talent, and the will to achieve this.”* In the federal government, one of the most controversial members of the Trump administration – former Democratic Congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard – has resigned her position as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). The BBC reports Gabbard is citing her husband's recent bone cancer diagnosis as the reason for her departure, but also notes that Gabbard “has largely been out of public view even as the US took military action against Iran, put pressure on Cuba, and…removed Venezuela's president.” In theory, these would all require a substantial degree of participation from and coordination with the DNI, but Gabbard seemed pointedly out of the loop. The actions of the administration have also been diametrically opposed to Gabbard's past foreign policy positions, defined by her 2020 slogan “no more regime change wars.” Others have noted that Gabbard now joins former Attorney General Pam Bondi, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as high-profile women ousted from the Trump administration while glaringly incompetent men like Pete Hegseth remain in their posts.* Turning to Texas, this week saw a political bloodbath in the runoffs for the primaries held back in March. The topline of course is that scandal-plagued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, backed by Trump, triumphed over powerful longtime incumbent Senator John Cornyn. With the backing of the president, Paxton wiped the floor with Cornyn, winning around two-thirds of the vote. Yet Paxton goes into the general election against James Talarico very weak. 35% of those polled “Disapprove Strongly” of Paxton with only 15% saying they “Strongly Approve” according to the Texas Politics Project and even the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) condemned Paxton's “lies” “incompetence” personal scandals and corruption in now-deleted press releases. Further down the ballot, incumbent Democratic Members of Congress Al Green and Julie Johnson have been defeated in their primary run-offs, after being forced into Member-on-Member races by the Texas redistricting scheme.* Meanwhile in Michigan, NOTUS reports the Working Families Party (WFP) has endorsed progressive Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed. This primary campaign, with El-Sayed running against moderate Congresswoman Haley Stevens and liberal state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, has become a bruising tripartite affair pitting the three major factions within the Democratic Party against one another. Recently, El-Sayed has taken the lead in this race, which WFP hopes to help consolidate, saying it is prepared to go “all in” on this race. WFP is feeling confident following their role in helping to ensure victory for Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania and Analilia Mejia in New Jersey.* In the Garden State, Senator Andy Kim was caught in a cloud of pepper spray this week as he joined protestors outside of a privately-run ICE detention facility, NJ.com reports. The protests began as a result of an ongoing hunger strike inside of the facility, which has led many high-profile New Jersey Democrats – including Governor Mikie Sherill and Congressman Robert Menendez Jr. in addition to Senator Kim – to call for the facility's closure. Following the confrontation, Kim stated that “What we saw here is unfortunately just what we see all over the country…It's sad…sad day.” At another point, Kim said “The cruelty that you see behind me, this is the point…Right now, I'm trying to have them not point guns at us.”* In another case of outrageous overreach by the Trump administration, Fox reports the Treasury Department has served subpoenas to CodePink activist Medea Benjamin and political streamer and influencer Hasan Piker seeking “financial, logistical and communications information” regarding their recent humanitarian voyage to Cuba. According to this story, the Treasury probe – handled through their Office of Foreign Assets Control – is primarily concerned with whether the convoy “violated U.S. sanctions laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has condemned the probe, writing that “Weaponizing the Treasury Department to target Americans for exercising their constitutional right to support human rights is unacceptable.” CAIR went on to call the investigation “performative and politically-motivated,” contending that “Every American who believes in the rule of law and human rights should stand in solidarity with Medea and demand that the Treasury Department drop its McCarthyite witch hunt.”* The Democrats meanwhile are once again conspiring against one another. The Bulwark reports the campaign to unseat Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin is back on – and now includes viable alternatives. Previously, discontent was mounting but there did not appear to be any other options. Presently though, the list circulating in Democratic circles consists of New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, former EMILY's List president Stephanie Schriock, former president of the Service Employees International Union Mary Kay Henry, former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro, former chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Lavora Barnes, and former Wisconsin party chair Ben Wikler. Wikler, who revitalized the Beaver State party and placed second against Martin in the DNC Chair election, has “rebuffed discussions about leading the DNC, saying he wants nothing to do with effort to remove Martin and isn't interested in replacing him.” Yet even with no obvious alternative, calls are mounting for Martin to step aside. This piece cites statements by progressive Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan, as well as a new initiative by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee on one side, alongside statements by more moderate Reps. Marc Veasey and Seth Moulton to the same effect. Still, many state parties and an equally ideologically diverse coalition is standing by Martin, so he will likely remain in place, at least for the time being.* Looking southward, this week Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that her country will host the Iranian team ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Per Al Jazeera, the United States, which is hosting many of the matches, including all three the Iranian team was scheduled to play in, expressed that they did not think it “appropriate” for Iranian team members to be in the country, “for their own life and safety.” FIFA approached Mexico as an alternative. In her daily press conference, Sheinbaum stated that “We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico.” The Iranian team has also announced they will be moving their training base from Tucson to Tijuana, but still plan to enter the United States to play their games – with Trump saying they will be “welcome,” despite the fact American authorities have yet to issue the necessary visas.* Our final two stories involve the Pope. First, AP reports that this week Pope Leo XIV made an historic apology not only for the Catholic Church's role in legitimizing slavery, but its failure to condemn the practice for centuries afterwards. Pope Leo called this a “wound in Christian memory.” Leo, the first American Pope, can point to both enslaved people and slave owners in his familial lineage, a remarkable vantage point from which to issue this statement in his first ever encyclical ”Magnifica Humanitas.”* Yet, for how historic this section of the encyclical is, it is not the portion of it that drew the most attention. That would be the section on Artificial Intelligence. Pope Leo writes “Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together.” Leo goes on to make the critical point that “technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate, and use it.” He further goes on to state that “the pressure of new ideologies or certain highly powerful interests” can reduce the human person to “a resource to be used and exploited” or evaluated “on what they achieve or produce,” whereas God creates each individual person in His image and imbues them with inherent dignity. It is impossible to say whether the Pontiff's words will move the titans of the tech industry to change their ways, but his moving rhetoric is sure to significantly influence the world's view of AI, both today and for students of history.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna and guests Mayan Calendar Energies, Solar Waves, Cuba, the New Earth, and the Light of the Soul Rainbird Opens the Mayan Calendar Segment In this episode of Hard News on Friday, Rainbird opens the program by welcoming listeners and leading a short centering practice with breath, heart focus, guides, ancestors, totems, and a virtual council fire. She calls in the seven galactic directions in the Mayan tradition and then turns to the Mayan record of days. Rainbird identifies the day as Blue Lunar Monkey, or 2 Chuen, connected with stabilization, challenge, polarization, play, illusion, and magic. She describes the energy as supporting innocence, spontaneity, humor, gratitude, compassion, and the wise use of magical artistry. Rainbird Looks Ahead Through the Week Rainbird then walks listeners through the energies of the coming week. She discusses Yellow Electric Human, Red Self-Existing Skywalker, White Overtone Wizard, Blue Rhythmic Eagle, Yellow Resonant Warrior, Red Galactic Earth, and White Solar Mirror. Across these days, she emphasizes themes of enlightenment, cosmic consciousness, dimensional awareness, shamanic integrity, service, planetary harmony, intuition, honesty, grounding, and self-understanding. She also notes portal or activation days, the full moon, and the idea that certain days support weeding the garden, whether literally, mentally, or spiritually. Donations, Support, and the Talking Stick After the calendar reading, Rainbird shifts into support information for the listener-supported program. She explains how listeners can donate through BBS Radio for Hard News on Friday and the Saturday program, The True History, and she also gives information for assisting Tara and Rama through the Rainbow Roundtable. Rainbird provides donation details, a mailing address, and the Rainbow Roundtable website, then passes a symbolic talking stick to Rama, describing it as carrying world-service energy, rays, flames, universal laws, ascension waves, fairies, feathers, little people, unicorns, dolphins, and whales. Rama on the Full Moon, Solar Activity, and New Earth Host Rama, thanks Rainbird and begins by discussing the coming full moon in Sagittarius, Lord Maitreya, the cosmic Christ, and the idea of calling in higher assistance. He mentions Dr. Steven Greer's recent work on disclosure and CE5 contact, saying humanity's galactic family is present and that people can connect through the heart. Rama frames current events through ascension language, saying humanity is regaining galactic memory and activating the “temple of living radiance.” He also discusses solar cycle 25, solar flares, tectonic activity, Kilauea, ley lines, grid lines, and the emergence of a “new heaven, new Earth” timeline. Clips and Commentary on Cuba, Code Pink, and Medea Benjamin Much of the middle of the show is composed of an inserted clip from BreakThrough News featuring Medea Benjamin of Code Pink. The clip discusses reports that the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control had sent questions or subpoenas connected to a humanitarian delegation that brought aid to Cuba. Medea explains that the communication was sent to Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans by email, describes it as an intimidation tactic, and says the delegation's aid work was legal and morally necessary. She argues that U.S. policy toward Cuba harms ordinary people, including babies, elders, and families facing shortages, blackouts, and lack of basic resources. Rama Connects the Clip to Old Timelines and New Energies After the clip, Rama says Cuba is important and frames the situation as part of an old timeline falling away. He connects Medea Benjamin's comments with his broader view that current events are showing the need for more love, spiritual awareness, and resistance to fear-based systems. He references Schumann resonance updates, solar flares, the human body's energetic changes, Dr. Greer, and teachings about the “temple of living radiance.” He also mentions beings and sources such as Kryon, Lord Kryon of Magnetic Service, Leonara from Atlantis, WingMakers, and other figures in what he describes as a cosmic story. A Channeled Reflection on Love, Light, and the Golden Thread The program then includes a long spiritual clip or reading focused on gratitude, light work, Father/Mother God, the company of heaven, and humanity's role in Earth's ascension. The speaker says that loving thoughts and gratitude add to the light of the world, and that each person has a “golden thread of life” woven from many lifetimes of love, wisdom, courage, skill, willingness, and tenacity. The message encourages listeners not to give up when outer events seem chaotic or discouraging, but to serve as an open door for divine light, using the affirmation of the I AM Presence and consecrating breath and life force to the light of God. Kryon Clip from Egypt and the Circle of 12 Near the end, Rama plays or introduces a clip from Kryon of Magnetic Service, recorded in Egypt at Abu Simbel. The clip describes Ramses II, Nefertari, and the temples as a great human love story, while also pointing to the Egyptian relationship with the divine. Kryon says the Egyptians understood themselves as standing next to the gods and having a direct relationship with the Creator. The clip then guides listeners into a visualization connected with the soul chakra and the Circle of 12, inviting them to cross a bridge from the known to the unknown and experience the soul as home, light, and eternal connection beyond ordinary human age or identity. Closing with the Saturday Program Invitation Rainbird responds that the Kryon clip was powerful and says they can continue it on the next program. She reminds listeners that the Saturday show will continue at 3:30 Central / 4:30 Eastern on BBS Radio station two. Rama closes by thanking everyone, saying the wisdom being shared has always been known and is now being activated. He encourages listeners to work with the violet flame and ends with a spiritual blessing.

In front of an audience at the Hay Festival, Tom Sutcliffe hosts Radio 4's discussion programme which starts the week, bringing together three thinkers who each, in different ways, examine the stories societies tell about themselves, and how those stories become enduring myths.Historian Antony Beevor investigates the life of Rasputin, a figure who has long hovered between fact and legend. His new work asks how a barely literate peasant from Siberia, the so-called ‘mad monk', managed to bewitch the Romanovs, and how the wild stories that swirled around him, inexorably led to the Tsar's downfall. Philosopher Susan Neiman turns to the moral narratives that underpin contemporary political life. Her work asks whether universal values can still guide societies when myths of division are so compelling.Classicist, broadcaster and performer Natalie Haynes brings the ancient world into sharp modern focus. Her retellings of Greek myths restore voice and agency to characters, particularly women, who have been sidelined or simplified by centuries of interpretation. Her latest novel, No Friend to This House, puts the abandoned Medea centre stage.Producer: Katy Hickman

So, John, you finally got the alchemy post you promised an age ago; what was the hold-up?· Tried to put too much into the posts…· Changed my mind several times as I was writing them!· had to relearn Tetractys ideas!2. You start off this Alchemy of Hallmarked Man discussion with a review of the literary alchemy of the first three Harry Potter novels; why did you have to reach that far back?· Because of the Parallel Series Idea, not alchemy at all, oddly enough.· Rowling seems to be writing Strike decalogy in parallel with Potter to include its alchemical sequences so I reviewed the ‘Reverse Alchemy' theory, how that worked for Strikes 1-3 but broke down at 6 and 7· To get Hallmarked Man‘s alchemical stage right, I wanted to figure out why Ink Black Heart and Running Grave weren't the alchemical stages we'd expect3. Some of our listeners may not have the literary alchemy three stages firmly in mind; can you go over what they are and why they're important in Rowling Studies?· Black, White, Red stages: what each represents in metallurgical and literary alchemy;· Rowling's one interview comment about alchemy, her PotterMore notes about colors;· Rowling's use in Harry Potter‘s last three books, fourth book, and first three books;· Galbraith's use in Strike series' first three books, fifth book, and six and seven;· Ward on astrology in CSL's Narniad ('Donegality'); similar use of alchemy in Rowling-Galbraith4. So the alchemical parallelism seemed to stop at Ink Black Heart but the other correspondences continued?· That's right, the first seven books paralleled their Harry Potter apposite numbers in structure, plot points, and some symbolism but the last two broke from the alchemical pattern;· I decided that the best place to look for a way that the new pattern could be explained would be looking at the seven theories about the Strike-Ellacott series structure;· If a specific structure had a very clear idea about the alchemical stage sequencing in the books, then I'd have a real head-start in what to look for in Hallmarked Man.5. The Seven theories -- last time we talked it was six! Remind me what they are and what each says about the alchemy...· No structure, Big Ring/Double Wedding Band, Septology and trilogy combo, Extended Play, Corona Sonnet, Tetractys, and Celtic Cross (see links above!);· Only Extended Play and Tetractys theories had clear theories about the alchemy; and· Oddly enough, they both explained why Hallmarked Man had to be considered an albedo or white novel even though they disagreed about what Ink Black Heart and Running Grave were...6. We've got slides here that help make what seems hopelessly nerdy something you can see. We'll start way back with the ring structure of The Harry Potter series and work our way toward Evan Willis' Tetractys ideas.· Harry Potter series, Sprague/Thacker ‘Reverse Alchemy:' Slides 1 and 2 (see above)7. And via the Parallel Series Idea we should see those same relationships that were found in the Potter books in the Strike series?· Extended Play idea: Slides 3 and 4 (see above)· Where it breaks down -- Running Grave like Troubled Blood an “aquatic Nigredo“8. And you think the Tetractys idea is better. We really need to have Evan on the show to talk about where he learned about this figure, its use in English literature prior to Rowling, and why he thinks Rowling is writing her second ten book series. Can you summarize his two Hogwarts Professor posts on this subject and why Rowling Readers will benefit from learning about this ancient ten point peg board model?· See Tetractys pyramid slides above;· Four levels: meaning of monad, dyad, triad, quaternity symbolism; (first Evan Willis post above)· Pyramid to climb, something akin to four levels of reading and knowledge; [Fowler, Triumphal Forms]· Benefit to Rowling Readers: Willis thinks the second Quaternion parallels Rowling's first -- and the differences explain the alchemical stage of Running Grave;· It also was used to predict three things about Hallmarked Man: it was all about silver, it would be an albedo or White stage novel, and it would parallel The Ickabog9. Three bullseyes with a special merit badge for figuring out the silver part before the title was announced. Let's go to the Tetractys slides for the Potter and Strike series:· All above!10. Both the Extended Play and Tetractys theories, then, have Hallmarked Man as an albedo. How will that influence your examination of Strike 8 for its alchemical symbols and sequences as well as your interpretation of them?· I'll be looking for the alchemical signatures of the second stage, leukosis or the ‘whitening,'· I'll be looking for evidence that contradicts the albedo dyad idea, and· I'll be researching if alchemical ideas, as in, say, incest, ‘Jason and the Medea,' and ‘dog and b***h,' are best read as white stage tokens This is a public episode.

Hämnden är ljuv, brukar man säga. Men vad betyder det egentligen? David Qviström söker svaret med hjälp av Medea och Sons of anarchy. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. ursprungligen sänd i januari 2017.För den som orkat sig igenom alla sju säsonger av tv-serien ”Sons of Anarchy” griper slutscenen tag. Huvudpersonen Jackson ”Jax” Teller, ordförande i den tungt kriminella motorcykelklubben i norra Kalifornien, jagas av ett polisuppbåd efter en lång dag av avrättningar, vedergällning och uppgörelse. Nu återstår bara ett sista svek att sona i denna Jax Tellers monumentala hämnd som ska återställa ordningen i hemstaden Charming, nämligen hans eget. I hög fart styr han motorcykeln rakt mot en mötande långtradare. Ansiktsuttrycket strax före kollisionen är harmoniskt, upplyst, Jesuslikt.Hämnden är ljuv, lyder talesättet, och även om syftningen är oklar får man förmoda att tillfredsställelsen gäller det hämnande subjektet. I litteraturens och filmens sagovärld återkommer ofta hämnden som motiv, antagligen för att det tillhör det förbjudna. Att faktiskt ge efter för sitt hämndbegär, mer än att bara fantisera om det, är att passera en gräns eller social spärr, eftersom en sådan handling har svårförutsägbara konsekvenser och riskerar att både eskalera och kosta mer än det smakar.Ibland skildras hämnden moraliserande och varnande just för att påminna publiken om hämndens risker. Så exempelvis i Othello, Shakespeares stora tragedi om hämnd, där huvudpersonen Jago till slut står som total förlorare. Andra gånger är hämndens etik enklare och handlar om straff och återställd jämvikt. Så ofta i sagan, som i Rödluvan där jägaren sedan han sprättat upp vargens buk och befriat flickan och hennes mormor fyller magen med sten och syr ihop, varpå vargen som inte kan röra sig dör. Så också i oräkneliga Hollywoodthrillrar där filmens stereotypa huvudperson, en patriarkal man som fått sin lyckliga familjeidyll raserad, förvandlas till en rättshaveristisk, obeveklig enmansarmé som genom sin nemesis försöker återta ett förlorat paradis, eller åtminstone se till att förövarna får betala dyrt. Lojala med filmhjälten, som vi i publiken är, låter vi denne vår ställföreträdande aktör för det förbjudna mäta ut öga för öga och tand för tand, och förföriskt nog låter vi det mest gruvliga övervåld passera som rättfärdigt. Vid filmens slut finns inget återerövrat eller ens försonat paradis utan mest ett för alla inblandade förött landskap. Hjälten står tigande som tragisk segrare över ruiner, knappast särskilt lycklig, utan mest på andra sidan ett med våld balanserat bokslut över skuld. Hade det varit vi skulle vi minsann inte ha agerat lika överilat, tänker vi kanske då, och befäster den spärr mot att hämnas som det i fantasin samtidigt är så spännande att utmana.Vad betyder egentligen det där talesättet att hämnden skulle vara ljuv?Emellanåt dyker karaktärer upp som bryter ett förväntat stereotypt mönster, vilket kan ge hjärnan klåda till den grad att den fortsätter processa berättelserna långt efter att boken eller filmen är slut. När det gäller hämndtemat tänker jag dels på Medea i Euripides klassiska drama, och dels alltså på Jackson ”Jax” Teller i ”Sons of Anarchy”. Bägge är tragiska gestalter som ändå genom sin hämnd på olika vis uppnår ett slags tillfredsställelse, något som skulle kunna sägas vara ”ljuvt”.Euripides berättelse känns på många vis modern: Medeas make Jason, som hon brutit upp från sitt hemland för, har hittat någon yngre och vill skilja sig. Genom list lyckas dock Medea inte bara förgifta den unga bruden och brudens far, utan också, och enbart för att plåga sin exmake, mörda deras två gemensamma barn – en underlig prioriteringsordning kan man nog tycka i dag liksom då pjäsen skrevs.”Du plågas själv och delar samma kval”, säger Jason sedan morden på barnen uppdagats.”Men smärtan lindras av att du ej ler”, svarar Medea då.Provocerande nog visar Medea aldrig minsta ånger över sin hämnd sedan den är satt i verket, utan hon gläds åt triumfen. Kvinnorna i kören har vädjat till henne att inte skrida till verket, och de har förmanat henne att det är gudarnas sak att skipa rättvisa. Jo, rättvisa kanske, men på vilket sätt ser Zeus hennes, Medeas, lidande? avfärdar hon dem. Hämnden drivs av lust eller berusning i en vanföreställning att hennes liv ändå är förlorat. Hämnden är en fix idé, i högsta grad självisk – och samtidigt oantastlig för den förkrossade Jason där Medea står i en vagn förspänd av drakar, tydligen magisk. I sin berusande hämndlystnad är hon omöjlig att nå.I ”Sons of Anarchy” försöker Jax Teller styra motorcykelklubbens verksamhet in på en mer laglig väg. Det lyckas bara sådär – enbart under tv-seriens avslutande säsong begår klubbmedlemmarna mer eller mindre bekymmerslöst över 40 mord, samtidigt som deras energi hellre upptas av banala familjeproblem, som vem som ska få vara en del av barnens moraliska uppfostran och inte. Småbarnspappan Jax Tellers dilemma är å ena sidan denna önskan att lyfta sig ur kriminaliteten för sin familjs skull, och å andra sidan nödvändigheten att upprätthålla den oförsonliga ordning, gemenskap och identitet som klubben ger honom, där lojalitet är allt och ett svek innebär döden. Broderskapet går före allt. Förlåtelse existerar inte. Besluten om vedergällningsmord mot tjallare och svikare fattas i demokratisk ordning på slutna möten. Hämnd och vedergällning är dessa laglösas metod att upprätthålla ordning och harmoni i sin slutna värld – om inte utmanas den sociala ordning som klubben vilar på, och det får på inga villkor ske, inte ens när ordförande Jax Teller själv har begått ett ödesdigert misstag, om nu ett mord av fel person av fel anledning kan benämnas så.”Vi säger att du sköt dig fri och flydde”, säger de snyftande klubbmedlemmarna till Jax Teller i sista avsnittet när den kollektiva avrättningen ska ske.”Den bördan kan jag inte lägga på era axlar”, svarar han.Mitt i en anarkistisk ordning en moral som alltså inte får vika en tum. Så följer den avslutande scenen med långtradaren. Jax Teller ser själv till att dödsdomen verkställs. Han sluter ögonen och släpper styret på sin motorcykel, sträcker Kristuslikt armarna ut åt sidorna. Klubbens ordning är hans harmoni. Ansiktet utstrålar ett slags frid.Hämndmotivet kittlar på samma vis som förbjuden kärlek. I fantasin prövar vi hur det skulle vara att passera en otillåten gräns och under vilka förutsättningar vi skulle vara beredda att faktiskt göra det. Att skydda familjen och att skydda kollektivet, motorcykelklubben, är för Jax Teller de allt överordnande moraliska reglerna. Medeas hämnd vilar tvärtom på en misstro mot ordningen i samhället eller tillvaron. Mystiken i hennes hämnd ligger i att den endast definieras av en rätt som är hennes egen, och därför står hon också oantastlig i sin drakvagn i slutscenen. Vem rår på någon som är sitt eget universum?På så vis är Medea anarkistisk i långt högre grad än Jax Teller. Men bägge förenas i en vedergällning som definierar dem. Om hämnden är konstruktiv är just då irrelevant, eller om den är moraliskt riktig. I stunden är hämndens natur enbart lust, och i den meningen verkligen ljuv.David Qviström, författare och journalist

Mejorcita, hoy hablamos con Dahlia de la Cerda: escritora mexicana, activista feminista y una de las voces más potentes de la literatura latinoamericana actual. Autora de Perras de reserva, Desde los zulos y Medea me cantó un corrido, su obra pone en el centro a las mujeres de la periferia: morras pobres, novias de narcos, brujas, aborteras, trabajadoras sexuales, mujeres moralmente grises en un país atravesado por la violencia. Con Dahlia hablamos de escribir desde el barrio, de feminicidio, narcotráfico, aborto, clasismo, maternidades no idealizadas y de por qué el feminismo institucional muchas veces no alcanza a las mujeres que viven en los márgenes. También de su activismo en Morras Help Morras, el colectivo que acompaña abortos seguros en contextos de ilegalidad, y de su apuesta por un feminismo situado, de zulo y no de cuarto propio. Conversamos sobre lenguaje, oralidad, humor negro, corridos, dinero, precariedad, rabia, éxito editorial, y sobre qué significa contar historias que incomodan porque no buscan ser ejemplares ni moralizantes.

In this episode, Stuart explores how to write wicked women with complexity, power, and emotional truth. From villains and antiheroes to politically sharp schemers and socially inconvenient women, this is a deep dive into the craft of creating female characters who refuse to behave nicely on the page or stage. With literary examples including Medea and Lady Macbeth, plus practical tools you can apply to your own work, this episode will help you write women who are morally complicated, dramatically alive, and impossible to ignore.

Priestess, witch, daughter of a brutal king: Medea is the greatest tragic heroine of the classical world. But, as Sunday Times bestselling writer Natalie Haynes reveals, Medea can be so much more than that too. Joining her longtime friend Robin Ince, she reveals her own journey that led her towards classical mythology, and invites modern-day dwellers to revisit the mythical past anew. From the extraordinary characters of classical heroines such as Medea, Pandora, and Medusa, to how classical myths continue to resonate with the human condition today, Natalie takes us on an epic journey of our own to reimagine the myths we thought we knew.

For more than six decades, the U.S. has targeted Cuba with economic sanctions, blockades and campaigns to destabilize the Cuban government. Now, Trump's latest salvo toward Cuba is his January executive order that sanctions any nation that provides oil to Cuba. The result has led to severe consequences for the Cuban economy and is harshly affecting the daily life of Cuban citizens. Medea Benjamin has just returned from a humanitarian trip to Cuba. Medea Benjamin is a cofounder of both CODEPINK and the international human rights organization, Global Exchange. She joins us on the podcast today.
As we hurtle toward the third anniversary (in May already!) of Grace Bumbry's death, I have had her very much on my mind. It's true that I consider her greatest achievement to have been as a Liedersängerin. Others opine that her operatic roles as a mezzo (Carmen, Eboli, Amneris among others) represent her at her very finest. There are fewer who focus on her work as a soprano. And yet, when she sang the most taxing roles in that fach, she often revealed a fearlessness, a fortitude, a determination, a pride that brought out her very best. If one examines her recorded output, one finds her essaying soprano arias almost from her very earliest recordings. I thought it might be fun to continue Diva Week on Countermelody's Black History Month celebratory episodesby examining her enduring legacy of her recorded output as a soprano. This time I focus exclusively on her studio recordings as a soprano, sometimes (but not always) in roles that she also sang onstage (Norma, Tosca, Gioconda, even Medea). (There's even a little operetta and a pop standard tossed in for fun.) When La Bumbry first began singing the soprano repertoire, some naysayers predicted irreparable vocal burnout. But they were wrong: until the very end, Grace retained, by virtue of both solid technique and enormous willpower, the same vocal richness and musical and artistic fingerprint that she possessed for more than six decades and which we celebrate in this episode. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Triggerwarnung: In dieser Folge geht es um Gewalt an Kindern Die letzten Monate waren nicht leicht für Fenja. Als sie nun endlich mit ihrer anderthalbjährigen Tochter Miri zur Mutter-Kind-Kur im Hochsauerland ankommt, heißt es erst einmal tief durchatmen und Kraft tanken. Doch statt der erhofften Ruhe beginnt ein Albtraum. Miri leidet unter starken Schmerzen, die niemand erklären kann. Während sich Miris Zustand von Tag zu Tag verschlechtert und Fenja immer tiefer in eine Spirale aus Angst und Verzweiflung gerät, sind nicht alle im Umfeld des kleinen Mädchens daran interessiert, dass ihr geholfen wird. In dieser Folge von „Mordlust – Verbrechen und ihre Hintergründe“ geht es um einen gefährlichen Familienkonflikt, der Parallelen zu einer Erzählung aus der griechischen Mythologie aufweist. Expert:innen in dieser Folge: Fachanwältin für Familien- und Medizinrecht Marion Bayer von Abel und Kollegen, sowie Prof. Dr. Frank Häßler, Neurologe, Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater und Gutachter in Verfahren zu Kindstötungen. **Credit** Hosts: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers Producer: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers und Jon Handschin Redaktion: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers, Marysol Mercado Schnitt: Pauline Korb Rechtliche Abnahme: Abel und Kollegen **Quellen (Auswahl)** Urteil Landgericht Hannover - Aktenzeichen 39 Ks 2793 Js 97699/23 (23/23) con-nect: https://t1p.de/z5b69 SZ: https://t1p.de/9obzi NDR: https://t1p.de/lek56 **Partner der Episode** Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

In the first half of this episode, Marcy Winograd and Medea Benjamin co-host Empire on the Rocks to highlight acts of resistance to the Trump administration's wars at home and abroad. As the White House escalates ICE attacks on immigrants, dissenters, and US citizens, tens of thousands of people pour into the streets to protest across the country and take back their neighborhoods from lawless masked agents. Likewise, in Latin America, we see protesters in the streets of Venezuela demanding the return of their president Nicolas Maduro and an end to US regime change attacks. Marcy and Medea also discuss grassroots resistance to the the Trump, Netanyahu, Ellison propaganda machine that threatens to censor Palestinian voices at TikTok. On the second half of CODEPINK Radio, Marcy interviews Chas Freeman, retired 30-year diplomat and author, on Israel's genocide in Gaza and loss of support in the U.S.
A Little Greek, A Little Sci-Fi The final half of the list of 2025 book reviews has more Greek, more sci-fi, and more indiepub goodness. Romance in space and space opera, talking pigs and talking frogs, first contact with aliens and first contact with demons, and good church history hymns and bad biblical archeology.

CLODIA: THE PALATINE MEDEA Colleague Emma Southon. The segment focuses on Clodia, a wealthy, independent woman and sister of Clodius. Cicero, feuding with her brother, attacks Clodia's reputation during the trial of Caelius. In his speech Pro Caelio, Cicero characterizes her as a "Palatine Medea" and a seductress to discredit her claims of attempted poisoning. Unable to speak in court, Clodia is silenced by Cicero's rhetorical assassination of her character. NUMBER 12
This episode features a conversation with the inspiring Dr. Veronica House, whose book Local Organic: Food Rhetorics and Community Writing for Impact (Utah State University Press, 2025) explores how writing takes shape within community networks. House brings a generous scholarly voice to questions of writing, community partnership, and meaningful collaboration, and this episode offers a chance to hear how her ideas grew from years of work alongside the people who shaped the project. From Dr. House's faculty bio: Veronica House is Associate Professor of the Practice and Director of the Writing Center at Boston College. She is the author of Local Organic: Food Rhetorics and Community Writing for Impact (2025) and Medea's Chorus: Myth and 20th Century Women's Poetry Since 1950 (2014). Veronica's recent teaching, community work, and scholarship focus on food movements, community-engaged writing, and writing as a force for social change. Veronica is Founding Director of the Conference on Community Writing and Founding Executive Director of the Coalition for Community Writing. She consults with faculty at colleges and universities across the country to design community-engaged courses and programs. Veronica is recipient of Campus Compact's Engaged Scholar Award; University of Colorado's Women Who Make A Difference Award; and numerous teaching awards. She serves as Consulting Editor of the Community Literacy Journal. ABOUT THE BOOK: In Local Organic, Veronica House explores ways to collaboratively build resilient local food systems and coalitions across disciplines and communities. Framed by a study of language, power, and food both nationally and in Boulder, Colorado, the book offers teachers, organizers, activists, and scholars ideas and examples for building interdisciplinary and intercommunity coalitional ecologies through writing in a methodology for engagement that the author calls ecological community writing. Based on more than a decade of research, teaching, writing, and project-building with undergraduate writing students and project partners, House theorizes how work to encourage local community-based writing becomes an ecological thread connecting things, ideas, and people. Local Organic is a book about collaboratively building community-derived definitions for resilient local food systems and how faculty and students can work to ethically partner with local communities using distributed definition building.Local Organic offers writing and rhetoric faculty and graduate students an ecological methodology to produce, teach, and theorize writing to help communities engage with a wide array of social issues and to work toward individual and community-level impacts.

What terrifying trials did Jason and the Argonauts have to overcome to win the famous Golden Fleece from a fire-breathing dragon, in one of the greatest greek myths of all time? When and where does this thrilling story come from? How does it tie together the tales of Odysseus, Orpheus, Achilles and Circe? Is there any historical evidence for the story of Jason and the Argonauts? What are the origins of Medea, the beautiful but vindictive sorceress who Jason marries? Did the Greeks still worship the Olympian gods in the more skeptical Hellenistic age? How did the coming of Alexander the Great transform the Greeks' understanding of the divine? And, were the Olympian gods really once mortal kings and queens of an earlier age, or were they planets..? Join Tom and Dominic as they conclude their epic journey into the glorious heart of Greek mythology, as they explore their evolution in an increasingly skeptical Hellenistic world, and answer the question; why did the Greek myths endure and captivate audiences throughout history, in a way that no other culture's mythology did?
