Podcasts about Miniature

"I have been working on some piano miniatures inspired by Kurtág's Játékok, Bartok's Mikrokosmos and technical exercises such a A Dozen a Day. This piece fits into that body of work. "I edited and manipulated a short section of the bells so that it was far more intense than the original and put some slow, relaxed arpeggios and chords beneath that. I inverted that idea in the second part to include the recording of people inside the church but added faster, more intense arpeggios."Saint Sulpice, Paris reimagined by Simon Belshaw.

In this episode of Between The Lines, Chelle and Leanne welcome Kate Solly back to the podcast to chat about her latest cosy crime novel, The Paradise Heights Miniature Railway Bust Up. Kate's books have become beloved for their blend of mystery, humour, community chaos and deeply relatable motherhood moments — and this latest instalment is no exception. This time, amateur sleuth Fleck Parker finds herself investigating strange goings-on at the local miniature railway, where expensive equipment has mysteriously disappeared. Between feeding a hungry baby, managing a cranky toddler, surviving school drop-offs and protecting her Wordle streak, Fleck somehow also finds time to investigate crime. Meanwhile, her best friend Trixie is dealing with mounting volunteer drama at the local craft shop, proving once again that small-town community groups can be just as chaotic as any murder scene. In our conversation with Kate, we discuss: Why cosy crime readers love quirky community settings Balancing humour with genuine mystery and darker themes Writing motherhood in a realistic, funny and relatable way The inspiration behind Fleck Parker's chaotic but lovable character Crafting communities, miniature railways and small-town dynamics Why amateur sleuths make such compelling protagonists As always, Kate brings warmth and humour to the conversation, and we found ourselves laughing through much of the episode. If you love cosy mysteries filled with heart, chaos, friendship and community drama, this episode — and this book — are such a fun time. About the Book The Paradise Heights Miniature Railway Bust Up is a cosy Australian mystery following amateur sleuth Fleck Parker as she investigates theft and suspicious behaviour at the local miniature railway. As Fleck juggles parenting chaos, community drama and mounting clues, she discovers that beneath the cheerful surface of Paradise Heights lies something far more sinister than anyone expected. About the Author Kate Solly is a writer, mother of six and author of Tuesday Evenings With the Copeton Craft Resistance and The Paradise Heights Craft Store Stitch-Up. Known for blending humour, heart and mystery, Kate writes cosy crime novels grounded in relatable family life, quirky communities and plenty of crafting chaos. Join Our Book-Loving Community Chelle and Leanne created Between The Lines because they love books and great conversations — and wanted to share both with you.

In this episode of d6 minutes, the companion podcast to Dice Over Everything, we talk about what we've been doing hobby-wise, painting stamps, and what Dream Space Marine model would convince us to paint one (outside of playing it painted).

Miniature human brains grown in a Saskatoon lab are upending the way researchers see neurology and immunology. Neuroscientist Dr. Tyler Wenzel is using brain organoids to challenge decades of rodent-based research, charting a new course for precision medicine.   As a high school biology teacher, Wenzel's students learned how hearts pump blood and lungs move air. But apart from neurological electrical activity, neither Wenzel nor the textbooks had many clear answers about the brain.   During his graduate studies, Wenzel realized the same experimental question tended to produce opposite results for mice and humans. The key difference, he found, lay in how each species' responded to toxins and injury,  leaving him skeptical of neurological therapies tested on rodents. Now an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Saskatchewan, Wenzel focuses on youth degenerative brain disease and the limits of traditional research models.   He grows human brain organoids — "mini brains" — from pluripotent stem cells derived from sources like blood or skin. Measuring two millimetres apiece, those organoids resemble tiny blobs of chewing gum. "We will turn [cells from a patient] into pluripotent stem cells, and we will make their mini brain, and because it has their genetic information, we get a brain that has their pathology," Wenzel said.  "If you do that same mutation, often in a mouse, the pathology won't appear. So it allows us to actually get a pathology we can actually study," he said.   When Wenzel was first hired at the University of Saskatchewan in 2024, the budget-conscious researcher built his lab on a shoestring, picking up secondhand centrifuges, balances, fridges and freezers from industrial start-ups. That move saved him time, and hundreds of thousands of dollars.  "All the money that we started off with, it is literally going to just the research team and directly to the research," Wenzel said, crediting NSERC and SHRF for their support. "I am so grateful."   Today, Wenzel studies childhood cerebral X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), a rare degenerative brain disease that strikes children, and is fatal when left untreated. His organoids may provide proof of concept for new ways to target the brain and nervous system, without the need for radiation, chemotherapy, and lifelong immunosuppresant drugs currently required for hematopoietic stem cell transplants.  "Chemotherapy and irradiation makes holes throughout your whole body. So we can do it in just your brain, just your spinal cord, and then we can inject the immune cells specifically into those locations," Wenzel said. "That eliminates many of the things that make chemotherapy uncomfortable, many of the things that make any sort of stem cell transplant uncomfortable."   This spring, Canada's Stem Cell Network singled out Wenzel's work with a Rising Star Award, saying his work demonstrates "leadership, creativity and potential for major impact". If his method shows promise in treating ALD, Wenzel's approach could pave the way for more targeted, effective and far less invasive treatments for a range of degenerative brain diseases.

In this powerful class study through Luke 15, we take a deep dive into Jesus' most beloved parables—the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son—and discover how they all point to the heart of the Gospel. More than just stories about repentance, these parables reveal a God who actively seeks the lost, restores the broken, and lovingly meets people exactly where they are.This lesson explores not only the younger son who wandered away, but also the older brother who stayed close physically while remaining distant in heart. Through practical application and rich insight into the cultural background of the text, this class challenges us to ask: Are we reflecting the heart of the Father toward those who are lost?At its core, Luke 15 reminds us of one simple truth: God wants you.

If you've been fortunate to hold a newborn, you know what it's like to be thunderstruck by the delicate features. Everything is miniature.And then the eyes open. You're in love.Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.”A baby is a blessing and a gift from the Lord. All life is precious; it doesn't matter if the parents are famous or completely obscure. In that warm bundle is a whole lifetime waiting to unfold. Will he be adventurous? Will she run the country?Man is capable of much, but creating life as God creates will always remain outside the borders. Only a great and all-powerful God could give us such a beautiful life, and He makes each one of us truly unique.It is an inescapable fact that a human being, separate from everyone else in terms of physicality and emotions, becomes fully formed in its mother's womb. This is perhaps the greatest miracle in all the universe, and one deserving of our awe and respect.Let's pray.Lord, you form us in the womb, and walk with us each step of the way through life.

This week, Les and Nick get small with the new Peacock series The Miniature Wife! It's a crazy sci-fi show about mini-matrimony and we enjoyed the heck out of it!  Plus, we talk about the ethics of the Joe Schmo Show, catch up on Rooster, Hacks, Rookie, Boys, and that Monarch finale!! Let's GOOOOO!! TV Diaries 1:50-1:01:50 2:18-13:20 Joe Schmo 13:20-19:55 Hacks 26:30-36:43 Rooster 36:43-51:27 The Boys 51:27-1:01:50 Monarch 1:02:50- The Miniature Wife

In dieser Woche haben wir uns weibliche Verstärkung geholt, um über drei neue Serien zu sprechen. Maite gesellt sich zu Holger, Michael und Rüdiger und spricht mit uns zuerst über die Netflix-Serie „Man on Fire“ (5:20), die wie der Film von 2004 von Tony Scott mit Denzel Washington den Roman von A. J. Quinnell als Vorlage hat. Nur dieses Mal mit Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in der Hauptrolle und dreimal so lang. Trägt der Stoff diese Verlängerung oder wird er dadurch ausgeleiert? Mit „Widow's Bay“ (33:33) platziert Apple TV+ keinen Geringeren als Matthew Rhys in eine Horrorkomödie. Die New-England-Serie war im Januar auf der Liste der Serien, auf die sich Rüdiger am meisten freut – nichtsahnend, dass es dabei um sein nicht gerade favorisiertes Genre geht. Kann er dem Ganzen dennoch etwas abgewinnen? Und zu guter Letzt geht es um die WOW-Serie „The Miniature Wife“ (59:54), in der Matthew Macfadyen seine Ehefrau Elizabeth Banks schrumpft. Was das Potenzial für ein feministisches Manifest hätte, ist am Ende eine ganze Ecke kleiner. Aber heißt das automatisch, dass es nichts taugt? Cold-Open-Frage: „Bei welchem Live-Event würdet ihr gerne Guerilla-Aufnahmen für eine Serie sehen?“ Wer mehr von Maite hören möchte, wird hier fündig: https://m.twitch.tv/dieklabauterfrau/about

The small scale two-hander starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel about an aging artist and an upstart forger is intentionally intimate, but is it too slight? They discuss.Next, they pick up their cultural magnifying glasses to peep at The Miniature Wife, the new marital comedy series starring Matthew Macfadyen and Elizabeth Banks about a scientist who accidentally aims his shrink ray on his wife. Is this diminutive premise too small for its multiple episode execution? They discuss.

Euphoria makes its long-awaited return to our screens this week, after a four year hiatus. But can it possibly meet Boyd's lofty expectations when it lands on Sky/HBO Max (47:06)? And speaking of Sky, Matthew Macfadyen and Elizabeth Banks' size-shifting comedy The Miniature Wife also lands on that platform (1:01:04), and hit comedy Big Mood returns for another run on Channel 4 (1:11:05). Plus, we bust out our (metaphorical) turntables to thrash out our favourite TV needle drops, there's a lot of unnecessary watermark chat, and you're all invited to Steph's birthday party. Except James.Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide.

Film and television reviewer James Croot details the sequel to The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments (Disney+), set fifteen years after the original. 

In this episode we set the Elevator of History back to 1835 where we witness the ;'penny paperss' papers sold for one cent instead of six that featured stories people WANTED to read, rather than news by and for a political party.  These papers brought us separate sections on news, finance, sports and featured on the scene reporting and lurid true crime details.  But it was the New York Sun that launched into a six day report of what a famous mathematician, chemist and learned individual was looking at the moon through a legendary telescope and reporting the discovery of the most amazing things including:  albino moon-bison, miniature zebras, one horned goats, unicorns and the fascinating bat people of the moon who dwelt in massive temples carved from giant rubies.  The public was fascinated by this series of articles until the report, six days later that the telescope had caught a stray sunbeam, magnified it's intensity and set the observatory alight causing it to burn to the ground.  In the days and weeks that followed it slowly came out that none of this was true, however, the Sun never printed a retraction and their readership had grown significantly despite the scandal, most new readers stayed.  We discuss all this, the Blue Fugates, touch on Orson Welles War of the Worlds  and discuss Terry Gilliam's the Adventures of Baron Munchausen  in this it can't get weirder than this episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

The work dedicated to highlighting Mexican roots and cultural identity, will be part of the Consulate's Mural Program. Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Ximello-Salido is a self taught multidisciplinary artist recognized for his unique ability to blend Mexican folkloric symbols with contemporary social themes. His work is distinguished by the incorporation of traditional elements such a La Catrina, musical instruments, resplandores (traditional Oaxacan headdresses) papel picado, and Talavera techniques, all reinterpreted through a modern lens in rich color, texture, and meaning. Through his distinctive artistic approach, Ximell0-Salido has transformed the walls of one of the consulate's offices, creating a mural that celebrates Mexican cultural heritage. Ximello-Salido's mural joins a growing collection created by artist Pedro Trueba, Vicente Medellin, Maurico Zuniga, and Giselle Garza- the latter mentored by Professor Juan Padilla Mayer to transform the consular facilities into a cultural space that honors the richness of Mexican art. The official inauguration of the Consulate's Mural Program, featuring Ximello-Salido's work alongside all participating artists will take place in September 2026 during Mexican Independence Day celebrations in an event open to the public. This celebration will allow the community to experience the complete collection of murals that transforms the consulate into a vibrant space of Mexican art and culture. Hugo Ximello-Salido is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersections of culture, identity, and language. His passion for art stems from a family of artists in Guadalajara, Mexico. His work has garnered international recognition and is part of permanent collections at educational and cultureal institutions throughout the United States. He is the creator of the acclaimed documentary project, MUXE: The Language of Art & Culture which explores gender fluidity in Oaxacan culture.

We don’t gotta talk about the worst ‘Cuse loss in over 20 years. Robert Duvall stared in an episode of The Twilight Zone that’s banned in Josh’s house. A new High Strangeness featured called “Is this anything?” Plus so much more on a Tuesdee!

Last November Nick and John introduced Dimitra Fimi, the magnificent maven of Tolkien Studies and Professor of Fantasy and Children's Literature at the University of Glasgow, to students of J. K. Rowling's work. In that discussion, ‘Reading Rowling as Myth Maker and Myth Re-Writer: A Conversation with Dr Dimitra Fimi,' she shared her thoughts about Rowling's creative use of mythology in Harry Potter but especially in the Cormoran Strike series.The Hogwarts Professor team asked her to join us again because of Rowling's yuletide charm bracelet gift to Strike fandom and the recent announcement of the Strike 9 title, Sleep Tight, Evangeline. Her insights about the Longfellow poem as a possible even likely source of the next book's epigraphs are engaging, but it is her expertise in the arcane area of miniature books as well as mythology and the light each shines on the two items attached to the last link of the charm bracelet that open up exciting possibilities.Her idea is that the Psalter on the ninth link of the charm bracelet may actually be, unlike the other tokens on the bracelet's nine links, an object that will play a part in the story, a miniature book. It turns out that one inch high books were something of an industry as curios in the 19th and early 20th century, a means of demonstrating technological mastery.Dr Fimi discussed several projects she has been a part of in conjunctions with nano-technologists and the librarians at the University of Glasgow's special collections division. The one that has the most obvious link to English literature is the ‘Tiny Alice project,' a contemporary effort to minituarize Lewis Carroll's Alice stories to unfathomable minuteness:The Tiny Alice Project has produced one of the world's smallest books: a tiny reproduction of Lewis Carroll's children's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). All 78 pages and 26,764 words of the story have been transposed on to a tiny silicon chip, with each page just the width of a human hair (60 microns). Each individual letter is just two microns high, and made from pure gold!Click on the icons below to find out more about the project, the technology behind it, and Lewis Carroll and his interest in the minuscule. Via the tabs above you can also discover the long tradition of miniature books, and teaching resources.Clip: Twixter link to tweet aboveYou can read Dr Fimi's write-up of ‘Tiny Alice' and the Miniature Book exhibition she curated at the University of Glasgow to highlight their special collection of these treasures at her 2019 blog post about them. Pictures that include annotated miniature books — copies in which their owners made notes in the miniscule margins of the printed pages — can be seen here.Later this week, Nick will be sharing his thoughts on Robert Browning's The Ring and the Book as the Ironbridge Murder story's template within Hallmarked Man, John, Nick, Sandy Hope, and Ed Shardlow will be parsing the ring within Strike8's Part Seven, and more about Longfellow's Evangeline — stay tuned!The Ten Questions Guiding Today's Conversation with Dr Fimi with the Necessary Links for Fun Follow-Up:(Intro) So everything Serious Strikers are thinking and talking about this month made me think of you, Dimitra, and to write you hat-in-hand with an invitation for your return to HogwartsProfessor to share your perspective, knowledge, and first impressions. Thank you for making time to join us!1. (John) Jumping right in, then, two of the charms on the Strike9 or ‘Evangeline' bracelet are Fimi areas of unique expertise: the Psalter and the Head of Persephone. I had urged readers to read your Miniature Books in Children's Fantasy at A Kind of Elvish Craft: The Dimitra Fimi Substack Site in the links after our conversation here last November but I confess to being surprised still when you asked for the dimensions of the Psalter charm after Nick and I posted our thoughts on the subject. For those who haven't read your ‘Miniature Books' post, please share how one of the world authorities on the writing of J. R. R. Tolkien became interested in the smallest of texts, the ‘Little Books' of 19th century printing.2. (Nick) So you asked for the dimensions of the Psalter, you weren't thinking as we were that the Psalter charms would be a box holding a folded up paper with a psalm, maybe two, inside it. You're thinking it might actually be a complete Coverdale Psalter? Is that possible?3. (John) What Nick and I hope to contribute to the nascent field of Rowling Studies, as you know, is a refocusing of the scholarship and the serious reader attention about her work on to her Lake Springs -- the biographical part of story inspiration -- her Shed Tools or intentional artistry, and the Golden Threads, the plot points and themes that run throughout her work, i.e., to bring Rowling Studies more in line with all literary scholarship about notable authors, living and dead.One of the Golden Threads we talked about in our Kanreki series last summer was the ‘Embedded Text,' the books inside a book topos that is in almost every book Rowling writes (Kanreki Golden Thread posts one and two). Detective fiction is always about an embedded text, the narrative ‘written' by the criminal to prevent the detective from reading the real story of what happened and Rowling-Galbraith often makes this narrative an actual book (Dumbledore Chocolate Frog Card, Tales of Beedle the Bard, Bombyx Mori, Talbot's ‘True Book,' The Predictions of Tycho Dodonus, etc.). How do you think a Psalter miniaturized book would appear in a Strike novel?4. (Nick) Has an author used a miniaturized book before in this way? Were there 19th Century Psalters that people wore as talismans or carried as the original Pocket Books?5. (John) And what about the Head of Persephone charm on that bracelet? It's on the ninth and last link, paired with that Psalter. You shared your first thought about the Persephone charm, a hopeful note, on the comment thread here. As our go-to authority on Greek mythology, I'm dying to know more of your thinking about (a) the specific charm and its relation to the Cupid and Psyche myth-template to the Strike series, (b) its pairing with the Psalter, and (c) its position as the last charm on the bracelet. Do you still think it's a sign that Robin will survive Sleep Tight, Evangeline?6. (Nick) As someone immersed in mythological studies and more than familiar with Rowling's use of myth, do you think the Jungian interpretation of that myth as the ‘actualization of feminine identity' is a better lens through which to read that embedded text or is the Spenserian lens of Eros/Anteros, False Cupid and Cupid more helpful? Or is this not a case of Either/Or but Both/And? Valentines Day Special7. (John) Rowling is a close reader and admirer of J. R. R. Tolkien, though that is more evident in the clear pointers to his work in her own work than from her interviews. How does her use of myth contrast with that of Tolkien and Lewis? (See John's 2008 post about Rowling's debts to Tolkien and the two part podcast with Tolkien scholars and Rowling Readers Dr Amy H Sturgis and Dr Sara Brown here and here for more on that influence.)8. (Nick) In an in-person meeting with UK Serious Strikers last week, Rowling shared with them and later via X with everyone the title of the ninth Strike novel, Sleep Tight, Evangeline. We're pretty sure that title refers to a song by an American Blues group called ‘The Whiskey Shambles' (story of the hunt, why Whiskey Shambles is a good bet). There is a famous poem, though, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called ‘Evangeline,' one perhaps not as famous as ‘Aurora Leigh' or ‘The Ring and the Book,' other texts Rowling may have used as back-drops to her novels, but still another poem very famous in its own time akin to those epics. Is its subject matter as good a match-up with the possible direction of Sleep Tight as the Victorian poetry back-drop is with other Rowling models?9. (John) You're a native Greek speaker; what does ‘Evangeline' mean in Greek? Is it a common name in Greece or is it a ‘Virtue Name' in the Puritan tradition of grace-filled names (cf., Credence Barebone is probably a reference to an Englishman named “Praise-God Barebone, whose son Nicholas may have been given the name If-Jesus-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned[3]“).10. (Nick) Don't leave before trying to tie together the pieces of this conversation! Is there a thread joining the Psalter, the Head of Persephone, miniaturized books, and the title Sleep Tight, Evangeline?Dimitra Fimi is Professor of Fantasy and Children's Literature at the University of Glasgow and Co-Director of the Centre for Fantasy and the Fantastic. Her Tolkien, Race and Cultural History won the Mythopoeic Scholarship Award for Inklings Studies and she co-edited the critical edition of A Secret Vice: Tolkien on Invented Languages which won the Tolkien Society Award for Best Book. Her Celtic Myth in Contemporary Children's Fantasy won the Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in Myth and Fantasy Studies. Other work includes co-editing Sub-creating Arda: World-building in J.R.R. Tolkien's Work, its Precursors and its Legacies and Imagining the Celtic Past in Modern Fantasy. She has contributed articles for the TLS and The Conversation, and has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs.When the rightly famous and beloved ‘The Great Courses' series decided to offer a Lord of the Rings entry for their catalog of the very best in scholarship for adult-learners, they asked Dimitra Fimi to create ‘The World of J. R. R. Tolkien,' one of their most popular courses and one you can enjoy in an Audible edition.Links Promised in Conversation:A Kind of Elvish Craft: The Dimitra Fimi Substack Site* Miniature Books in Children's Fantasy* Parabasis: A Tribute to Dionysis Stavvopoulos* On Tolkien's Letter 131 (4): “Romance” vs. ScienceDimitra Fimi articles at ‘The Conversation'* After 150 years, we still haven't solved the puzzle of Alice in Wonderland (2015) This is a public episode.
