Hello and welcome to season nine of Retrograde Amnesia, featuring Skies of Arcadia. In the first (of three) background/information episodes, we'll be talking about the game as it relates to shipping on two GD-ROMs, refusing to appear on modern digital storefronts, becoming crushed by reality, combining World War I & II military ships with the Age of Discovery, communicating with wind, citing influence from Laputa: Castle in the Sky and Dragon Quest III, building the world around six colors, refusing a travel budget, blatantly referencing Moby Dick and Robinson Crusoe, forming the Hottie Production Committee, dynamically adjusting the music, eliminating baby talk, "throwing away the Japanese text," and un-mysterying the misdirection. Realism may not be acceptable for an RPG just yet. 00:00:00 Lost Time  00:01:55 Intro 00:02:54 What Is This  00:04:47 Release Information 00:09:31 How to acquire and play Skies of Arcadia in 2026 00:12:13 Atsushi Seimiya 00:18:15 Shuntaro Tanaka 00:27:20 Reiko Kodama 00:49:31 Soundtrack 00:53:37 Localization 01:03:28 Unsubstantiated Claims 01:09:04 Real Net 01:14:09 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Il percorso dal Southern Gothic di Flannery O'Connor al gotico contemporaneo evolve trasformando l'orrore metafisico in critica sociale. Negli Stati Uniti e in Italia, il genere ha abbandonato i castelli infestati per esplorare il perturbante nelle periferie, nel fondamentalismo, nel corpo e nel degrado ambientale. Il Southern Gothic di Flannery O'Connor, attivo fino agli anni ‘60, univa il degrado rurale degli Stati Uniti a una teologia spietata, dove il grottesco e la violenza diventavano strumenti di redenzione. Opere fondamentali come La saggezza nel sangue o la raccolta Un brav'uomo è difficile da trovare hanno scavato nella coscienza americana. “Alphaville” con i suoi ospiti ha esplorato questa dimensione partendo dalla raccolta di saggi, curata da Benedetta Centovalli, Il cielo e la polvere. Visioni e universi di Flannery O'Connor.“Moby Dick” riparte proprio dai temi e dalla scrittura della scrittrice statunitense per spingere avanti la riflessione guardando all'oggi, con tre ospiti in diretta. Gli scrittori Omar Di Monopoli, che nel 2017 ha pubblicato per Adelphi il noir Nella perfida terra di Dio, tradotto all'estero, trasposto in fumetto per Sergio Bonelli editore.Insegna scrittura creativa per la Scuola Holden. Scrive per la radio e per il cinema, e collabora con “La Stampa”, “Il Fatto Quotidiano” e “Rolling Stone Italia”. Omar Di Monopoli è un grande appassionato di Flannery O'Connor e può essere considerato un autore che trova nel suo stile una fonte di ispirazione. Con lui un altro scrittore, Orazio Labbate, autore e critico letterario siciliano, riconosciuto dalla critica come il fondatore del “gotico siciliano”. Nei suoi romanzi fonde le atmosfere oscure del gotico americano (sul modello di Cormac McCarthy e Stephen King) con il folklore, la polvere e il misticismo della Sicilia. Insieme a loro il critico e professore universitario Marco Petrelli, che insegna presso l'Università di Pisa e si occupa da tempo di letterature e culture del Sud statunitense, gotico americano, postmodernismo, geocritica, graphic narratives e letteratura afroamericana.

Il dibattito sulla sovrappopolazione mondiale è tornato di stretta attualità. Crisi climatica ed energetica, sfruttamento e distribuzione delle risorse, accesso ai servizi e disuguaglianze economiche: è legittimo chiedersi se otto miliardi di persone sulla Terra siano già troppe oggi. In realtà – dicono le statistiche – l'incremento della popolazione mondiale è rallentato a partire dagli anni Duemila ed è destinato a ridursi nei prossimi decenni a livello globale, andando incontro a un “inverno demografico”. Al di là dei numeri l'evoluzione demografica – tra bassa natalità e invecchiamento della popolazione - ci pone già nel presente di fronte a numerose sfide sul piano sociale, economico e politico, intrecciandosi con temi quali le politiche famigliari e l'immigrazione.Ma quali conseguenze avrà in prospettiva il cambio demografico sulla transizione ecologica? Quali misure sono possibili ed eticamente sostenibili per ridurre l'impatto della popolazione mondiale?A “Moby Dick” ne discuteranno la giornalista ed esperta di diritto alla salute Nicoletta Dentico e il naturalista e giornalista scientifico Alfonso Lucifredi.

Send us Fan MailHi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. Welcome back to our 2026 miniseries of previewing each venue on Phish's summer tour. Last time, we opened the series by visiting an arena we haven't seen in a long time: the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Today, we are going to preview an amphitheater that is embedded in Phish lore to the point where it seems like we're talking about a family reunion: Deer Creek Amphitheater in Noblesville, Indiana.The mere mention of the words “Deer Creek”--excuse me, the “Ruoff Music Center”--elicits dozens, if not hundreds of memories and anecdotes in the Phish universe. The band has been playing the venue for a shade over 31 years, yet there's plenty to preview and review. Luckily, today's guest–Ben Karle–has seen Deer Creek change from an amphitheater in the middle of a series of cornfields to the centerpiece of a suburb, complete with its own downtown, since the venue opened in 1989. There's plenty to debate whether the growth of Deer Creek, or the town that's grown up around Noblesville over the past 37 years is for better or worse, but for today's episode, Ben and I simply review the venue's history, remember stories from Phish's illustrious past shows at the Creek–from Moby Dick to Soul Planet–and he offers his opinions on the best and not-so-best parts of seeing a show at the classic venue. So whether or not you're staying at Sleepy Bear Campground or a downtown AirBnB, let's join Ben to get ready for a 3-spot on July 10, 11, and 12 at Deer Creek in Noblesville, Indiana.Support the show

Episode 2057: Margo Aaron explores the gap between having a great idea and actually bringing it to life, using two very different Moby Dick-inspired films to show how execution shapes impact. Her reflections challenge the fear of being unoriginal and encourage creators to stop waiting for perfect conditions, take the risk of shipping their work, and discover what happens when their ideas meet the world. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.thatseemsimportant.com/creativity/but-what-if-it-works/ Quotes to ponder: "Everything is derivative. What has not been done is your version." "Go find out what happens to your idea when it meets the world. It just might work." "You do not get to the revolutionary story without shipping some trite and cliche things that don't work."

Esta semana se han cumplido 130 años de la llegada del cine a España y en este episodio os contamos como fue aquel momento. Ha comenzado la 79 edición del festival de Cannes y el cine español hace historia con tres películas compitiendo por la Palma de Oro. Repasamos la lista de los premiados españoles hasta ahora en Cannes. Charlamos con el director de “Pizza movies” Carlo Padial sobre cine dentro del cine y “Moby Dick” de John Huston es la película de aventuras que nos trae Jack Bourbon esta semana.

La differenza principale tra il saggio e il romanzo, è che nel romanzo le idee sono funzionali alla narrazione, mentre nel saggio è la narrazione ad essere al servizio delle idee. È uno dei tanti concetti sviluppati intorno al genere del saggio letterario, che ritroviamo nella grande antologia “Saggisti italiani del Novecento”, curata da Alfonso Berardinelli e Matteo Marchesini e pubblicata da Quodlibet. Un'opera che non solo raccoglie e sistematizza decine e decine di scritti e di autori, ma che fornisce anche delle fondamentali chiavi di lettura del saggio come genere letterario. Anzi: del saggio come strumento indispensabile (soprattutto oggi) di trasmissione delle idee, e degli effetti che quelle idee hanno sugli individui. Dopo una settimana di Dossier dedicato al saggio nelle sue varie forme, passate e presenti, Moby Dick parte da qui: dalla funzione sociale del saggio alla sua capacità di rinnovarsi, dalle difficoltà che incontra questo genere nel presente alle sue sorprendenti doti di adattabilità al mutato panorama culturale. Ad aiutarci in questa riflessione saranno la scrittrice e traduttrice Claudia Durastanti, che si occupa di letteratura e critica culturale per varie testate e dal 2021 è curatrice della casa editrice La Tartaruga; e Gianluca Didino, scrittore, saggista e traduttore, autore del recente “La figura umana. Friedrich, il contagio romantico e l'apocalisse”, Edizioni Tlon, 2024.

Long Island played a major role in the development of whaling in the Americas. Native Americans along the south shore were well practiced in harvesting whales near the coast. They shared their knowledge with early settlers, leading to chartered companies and competition for what became, for much of the 19th century, a very lucrative industry. And nowhere was this industry more visible than out of Sag Harbor. Men boarded ships for multi-year voyages around the globe, in a dangerous pursuit to hunt, kill, and dismember giant creatures of the sea. And while they worked at this pursuit, they sang. Stephen Sanfilippo has been tracking whaling songs for the better part of sixty years, preserving and performing them with his wife Susan at festivals, libraries, and historical societies. Some his best finds have come from reading the private journals of seaman in the Sag Harbor whale fishery. These literate young men recorded life on ship, including the lyrics to many of the ballads, shanties, and ditties sung by the crew in the course of their work. On today's episode, Stephen relates the history and preservation of these songs along with what the sources can and cannot tell us about oral traditions and the life of a whaler. Along the way you'll get a masterclass in the history of Long Island whaling and the chance to sing along.

While we are on a break, enjoy this episode from Season 2. Season 3 starts May 19!Week 39 of Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities Course takes on nineteenth-century American literature. To my surprise, this became one of the most enjoyable weeks so far. I went in dreading familiar names and old high-school resentments, but came out newly energized. Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (chapters 1–6) was funny, humane, and immediately engaging. Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher and “The Raven” used ornate language to heighten unease, while Emily Dickinson's poems felt weightless and startlingly modern. Henry David Thoreau's Walden was quotable and provocative, if ultimately grating, and Herman Melville surprised me most of all: Bartleby, the Scrivener lingered with quiet power, and the opening of Moby-Dick left me eager for more. This week revealed a real shift in voice and sensibility—and changed my mind about American literature. I'm looking forward to going back and reading more, but first we need to move on to Week 40 and Russian Literature!LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)

“Don't.” That's the first of Roger Rosenblatt's More Rules for Aging, and the underpinning of many of the new book's 114 others. Don't try to catch that 20-something jogger who just left you in the dust on your morning walk. Don't criticize. Don't worry about awards or accolades—or, for that matter, regrets. And don't retreat, especially to Vermont. Embedded in these wry and often funny maxims is genuine, hard-won wisdom gathered from a life now in its ninth decade of reading, teaching, and perhaps above all, writing. Rosenblatt is here to share some of it with us today. Roger Rosenblatt is a New York Times guest essayist whose work has been published in 15 languages, the author of five New York Times Notable Books and three best sellers. He has received two George Polk Awards for journalism, a Guggenheim Fellowship, an Emmy, and a Peabody. He held the Briggs-Copeland appointment in the teaching of writing at Harvard, has received seven honorary doctorates, the Kenyon Review Award for Lifetime Literary Achievement, and a Fulbright to Ireland, where he played on the Irish international basketball team. He received his PhD in English and American literature and language from Harvard Griffin GSAS in 1968.

Send us Fan MailHe walks away from house arrest and convinces himself it's a great adventure, a cat and mouse chase where he is smarter than the police. Bart Upchurch drifts through Raleigh and the NC State campus on borrowed keys and borrowed time, reading under trees, checking out Moby-Dick, and writing diary entries that swing from political anger to an almost unbearable loneliness. It's the kind of true crime story where the details feel ordinary until you realize how close danger is in every scene.Then the case turns. Neil Henderson starts talking, investigators retrace the murder night step by step, and the search for the missing baseball bat becomes a race between evidence and escape. Stakeouts fail, rumors spread, and officers work angles that are both methodical and messy, from campus alerts to disguised searches in the woods. When the bat is finally found, the net tightens fast.A thunderstorm becomes the backdrop for the moment everything changes: a patrol officer spots a suspicious figure, Bart tries a false identity, and police search the backpack that carries books, tapes, and a knife. What follows is a last burst of flight, a hard stop, an interrogation room, and the instant a first-degree murder warrant lands with full weight.

Ottavio Fatica"Operazione Shylock"Philip RothPrefazione: Emmanuel CarrèreAdelphiwww.adelphi.it«Un libro infernale, che non si riesce a smettere di leggere. Una riflessione sul giudaismo, su Israele, sull'invecchiare, sulla menzogna, sull'invenzione, sulla letteratura – su tutto ciò che conta nella vita. Assolutamente vertiginoso. Leggetelo» (Emmanuel Carrère). Traduzione di Ottavio FaticaTraduzione della prefazione di Emmanuel Carrère: Ena MarchiNella sua burrascosa carriera, Philip Roth ci ha abituato alle più spericolate acrobazie narrative, ma mai ha osato tanto quanto in Operazione Shylock, dove, per dire e fare tutto ciò che vuole, ha sentito il bisogno di misurarsi con il suo più temibile avversario: un altro Philip Roth – stesso nome e stessi connotati, solo il nomignolo Moishe Pipik a distinguerlo da sé. Mai il tema del Doppio è stato usato in un romanzo con un tale autolesivo virtuosismo. Roth azzanna sé stesso come essere umano, come ebreo, come Philip Roth, e non si accontenta di una libbra di carne. Come congegnare, altrimenti, una spy story che tiene insieme il Mossad, il processo al mostro di Treblinka, il recupero dopo un crollo psichico da Halcion, l'incontro-scontro con ebrei e palestinesi in una Gerusalemme pattugliata dall'esercito israeliano, il faccia a faccia ustorio con l'altro Philip Roth – un megalomane che per salvare gli ebrei ashkenaziti da un probabile prossimo sterminio si fa propugnatore di una nuova diaspora, uno spregiudicato controesodo verso i paesi europei d'origine – e con la sua procace, concupita compagna? Sfoggiando una lingua viscerale e insieme altamente speculativa, Roth combina in queste pagine la più spiritata, isterica commedia nera con il dramma di popoli e di singoli individui lacerati, e mette in scena una mirabolante due-giorni a Gerusalemme che – incredibile a dirsi – fa anche ridere.Philip Milton Roth nasce a Newark, nel New Jersey, il 19 marzo del 1933 in una famiglia della piccola borghesia ebraica. Si laurea alla Bucknell University e fa un master in letteratura inglese all'Università di Chicago. Pubblica i primi racconti sulla Paris Review, su Esquire e sul New Yorker. Il suo capolavoro è Pastorale Americana, con cui vince il Premio Pulitzer nel 1997 e da cui è stato tratto un film da Ewan McGregor, che interpreta anche il ruolo del protagonista. Il libro fa parte una trilogia che comprende Ho sposato un comunista e La macchia umana. Il suo esordio avviene nel 1959 con Addio Columbus. Dieci anni dopo la fama con Il lamento di Portnoy, in cui il protagonista, un trentenne ebreo, Alexander Portnoy, racconta all'analista le proprie nevrosi sessuali.Autore di trentuno libri, Roth è stato un critico feroce della società americana, della sessualità maschile e dei falsi miti dell'uomo occidentale (in Complotto contro l'America del 2004 immagina che alle elezioni per la presidenza americana del 1940 venga eletto Charles Lindbergh anziché Roosevelt, e che questo trasformi gli Stati Uniti in un alleato della Germania nazista). Nel 2009 annuncia il suo ritiro dall'attività di romanziere. Il suo nome è apparso spesso nella lista dei concorrenti al premio Nobel per la letteratura. Muore a New York il 22 maggio 2018.Ottavio FaticaFamoso per le sue numerose traduzioni, ricordiamo: il Moby-Dick di Melville, quasi tutto Kipling, i diari di Byron, i limerick di Lear, Céline, Henry James. Per Einaudi ha pubblicato nella collana Collezione di poesie, Le omissioni (2009) e Vicino alla dimora del serpente (2019).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Joseph Pearce explores Melville's Moby-Dick, revealing a powerful story of pride, obsession, and the search for truth and meaning. The post GWWL9 – Herman Melville – Moby Dick – Great Works in Western Literature with Joseph Pearce – Discerning Hearts Podcasts appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Small performance and production choices can subtly shape how a story is experienced, and that becomes especially clear in narrative podcasting. Today, we're taking a close look at Salvage, a storytelling podcast built around real historical events, including the true story that inspired Moby-Dick. We want to be clear that this isn't about tearing a podcast down. We are listening closely to how structure, pacing, delivery, and sound design decisions influence immersion, tension, and the overall listener experience, and we're sharing those observations to help you strengthen your own storytelling. As we walk through the episode, we highlight what's working, from the strong opening hook and vivid descriptive language to the intentional use of silence and tone that draws listeners in, while also exploring where small adjustments could elevate the experience further, including pacing, sound design impact, and smoother transitions. Submitting a podcast for evaluation takes intention.

On this week's episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the high seas of the mid-19th century and the enduring story of revenge. We are looking at the 1998 made-for-TV adaptation of Herman Melville's eternal classic “Moby Dick”, the Great American novel that has been referenced more than once in the world of Star Trek. In this classic tale, Captain Ahab leads the crew of the Pequod to seek vengeance upon the white sperm whale that took the captain's leg. Join us as we go boldly!

Captain Ahab's preoccupation with a white whale is set to music in a new Kansas City world premiere. It's Herman Melville's “Moby Dick,” told in authentic, 19th-century sea shanties.

All hands on deck! This episode of Opera for Everyone dives headlong into a leviathan of 21st-century opera: Jake Heggie's Moby-Dick (2010). Adapted from Melville's classic American novel, this seafaring drama is a gripping operatic meditation on obsession, authority, and the power of friendship. With Gene Scheer's cinematic libretto and Heggie's muscular score, the opera captures both the immensity of the sea and the intensity of life aboard the Pequod. Joining Pat on this voyage is guest Candice M. Kelsey, educator, poet, and Melville enthusiast, who brings a literary lens to the opera's adaptation. Batten down the hatches and sail with us into operatic waters where the whale is white, the questions are vast, and the music is epic. For more on Candice Kelsey visit candicemkelseypoet.com  

In Blue Machine (2024), Helen Czerski refigures the ocean as an enormous planetary engine, converting light and heat into motion. Her book invites us to see the ocean not as an ‘absence' but an intricate series of operations that makes life as we know it possible. Blue Machine is an encyclopaedic tour through physics, biology and history of the sea, expansive and propulsive in a way that Peter Godfrey-Smith likens to Moby-Dick. Meehan Crist and Peter Godfrey-Smith are both writers deeply engaged with the sea and what happens when climate change disrupts the workings of the ‘blue machine'. In this episode, they reflect on the ways Czerski's book has changed their thinking about the ocean, and whether new perspectives can ever be enough to change public policy. Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

In this episode of Old Men Yell At Cloud, we dive headfirst into the crushing waves of Mastodon's 2004 masterpiece Leviathan. Inspired by Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, the album is a relentless concept record packed with thunderous riffs, chaotic drumming, and some of the heaviest storytelling in metal. We break down what makes Leviathan such a landmark release—how Mastodon fused sludge, prog, and hardcore into something that felt completely new at the time. Along the way we talk about the band's early era, the insane musicianship (looking at you, Brann Dailor), and the tracks that still hit like a harpoon twenty years later. Was Leviathan the moment Mastodon became metal's most interesting band? Does it still hold up as one of the greatest concept albums of the 2000s? And why does this record feel like getting dragged into the ocean by a very angry whale? Grab a drink, crank the volume, and join us as we yell at the cloud about riffs, whales, and one of the most ferocious albums of the 21st century.

Humorist John Hodgman chats about ruling the "court" in his hit podcast Judge John Hodgman, plus his stint as a cheese monger and why reading Moby Dick does not give you the right to go "a-whaling" in the state of Maine; and China Forbes, lead vocalist of the "little orchestra" known as Pink Martini, joins the program as a solo act and performs "Full Circle" from her album The Road.

What if the books on your nightstand are shaping your soul more than your to-do list ever could? We open with the reality of spiritual warfare, then trace how stories train our desires, sharpen our conscience, and equip us to stand firm when culture bends truth out of shape. This isn't an anti-entertainment rant; it's a field guide for choosing narratives that echo God's order rather than numb us with noise.We dive into why fiction and nonfiction both matter for Christian formation, and how Jesus' parables model the power of narrative to lodge truth in the heart. From late-night dopamine binges to the quiet work of wisdom, we show practical ways to engage books and movies without turning off your brain: pause the scene, name what it's teaching, and measure it against Scripture. We explore beauty, harmony, and resolution in music and art as signposts of a moral universe—one reason some modern stories feel hollow while others satisfy like a resolved chord.Expect vivid examples: Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray as a mirror of conscience, the Odyssey's sirens alongside Proverbs 7, and Tolkien's vision of creation as music that can't be ultimately ruined by discord. We talk Romans 14 maturity, why some should abstain in good conscience, and how others can read widely without losing their footing. Parents will find a blueprint for raising discerning readers—training kids to “smell” the story beneath the story—plus a starter canon that ranges from Little House and Lewis to Moby Dick and Tolkien.Listen to build a wiser bookshelf, a braver heart, and a home that treats every movie night like a masterclass in truth, goodness, and beauty.

Episode No. 747 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Bethany Collins and curator Edouard Kopp. Collins is included in "Monuments," at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. The exhibition juxtaposes decommissioned Lost Cause monuments with commissioned artworks that address the histories the Lost Cause aimed to whitewash. Collins' contribution to the project is Love is dangerous (2024-25), a sculptural installation that remakes the base of the Stonewall Jackson monument that was installed in Charlottesville, Virginia. The exhibition, which is on view through May 3, was curated by Hamza Walker, Kara Walker, and Bennett Simpson with Hannah Burstein and Paula Kroll. The museum says that a catalogue is forthcoming. On March 5 the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver opens "Bethany Collins: The Deluge," a presentation of Collins works that each address -- and navigate -- an existential storm. Across several media, Collins addresses major literary works such as Herman Melville's Moby Dick, and Sophocles' Antigone -- and the US songbook too. The exhibition was curated by Leilani Lynch and is on view through July 5. Among the many museums presenting solo exhibitions of Collins' work are the Seattle Art Museum, the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Mass., the Contemporary Art Museum Saint Louis, the Van Every and Smith Galleries at Davidson College, the Birmingham Museum of Art, and the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University. Edouard Kopp is the curator of "Wall Drawing Series: Gladys Nilsson" at the Menil Drawing Institute, Houston. The site-specific exhibition features an enormous Nilsson drawing that features fantastical, hybrid beings surrounding one monumental figure engaged in the act of drawing. It's on view through August 9. Nilsson's work has been the subject of dozens of exhibitions, including a 1973 solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Her work is in the collection of museums such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago. Instagram: Bethany Collins, Tyler Green.

Brockway and Seanbaby ask Brockway's wife, Meagan, for her cursed media origin story. She answers with Samson & Sally: a Danish animated film about cute lil' whale children on a search for the legendary Moby Dick. Along the way they'll find their families' corpses, the dancing dead of every war, insane irradiated walruses, and yes! Eventually they do find Moby Dick (dying from dementia). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert is going to jail because you didn't buy his book.
