"History of Bread From Pre-Historic to Modern Times" by John Ashton delves into the evolution of bread, tracing its journey from ancient flatbreads cooked on hot stones to the fluffy loaves of the early 20th century. Ashton illustrates how this staple food rose alongside human civilization, reflecting changes in agriculture, class, religion, and technology. Each chapter offers a fresh perspective on bread's significance, revealing its role as a cultural icon while highlighting odd bread laws, riots over pricing, and concerns about ingredients. This exploration of bread's history resonates today as it invites listeners to consider the deep connections between food, society, and the ongoing complexities of what we consume.

In this episode of New Books Network, I speak with Mikhail Pelevin about his book Love, Honour and God: Pashto Writings of Early Modern Times (Iran and the Caucasus Monographs, vol. 5, Brill, 2025). Love, Honour and God is a survey of three centuries of Pashto literary and educational writing, from roughly 1530 to 1830, the period Pelevin identifies as classical in the history of Pashto letters. Moving from the earliest, now-lost administrative "Daftar" of Shaykh Mali through the sectarian mystical poetry of Bayazid Ansari's Roshani movement, the Sunni traditionalist manuals of Akhund Darweza, and the towering figures of Khushhal Khan Khatak and ʿAbd al-Rahman Momand (Rahman Baba). This book reconstructs a written tradition that has been persistently marginal to both regional and Western scholarship. Pelevin frames this history through what he calls the dissolution of the Persophonie and the slow emergence of Pashto as a written language in the shadow of, and eventually alongside with the dominant Persian literary cosmopolis. Rather than reading this as a proto-nationalist story imposed retroactively, he traces a much older and more specific discourse of Pashtun self-identity — descent, language, custom, and religion, articulated by the authors themselves, long before any colonial or nationalist framework existed to name it. What makes the book distinctive is its insistence on working from the Pashto texts as primary sources in their own right, rather than as illustrations for arguments made in Persian chronicles, in colonial-era administrative writing, or in the historiography of "Pashtun tribal society" that has tended to treat literary production as peripheral to political and military history. Pelevin is explicit about this reversal: he wants to shift attention from the political to the poetical. Qaseem Ahmadzai holds a master's degree in intellectual history from Södertörn University, Sweden. His research focuses on postcolonial theory, historiography, and non-Western intellectual traditions, with particular attention to Afghanistan and the broader Pashto-Persephone worlds.

Original airdate: Apr 20, 2021 What if the natural world wasn't something separate from us—but something we were deeply connected to? Animism is one of humanity's oldest spiritual traditions. It is the belief that people, animals, plants, rivers, mountains, and even places possess their own spirit or consciousness. While it is most commonly associated with Indigenous cultures, its wisdom continues to resonate in our modern world. In this episode, I sit down with licensed clinical social worker, spiritual mentor, speaker, and author Laura Giles to explore the fascinating world of animism. We discuss its origins, where it is still practiced today, common misconceptions about it, and how embracing this ancient worldview can deepen our spiritual lives, strengthen our relationship with nature, and inspire us to care more deeply for the planet and one another.

A shepherd at the edge of a Rhineland forest counted his flock at dusk and came up two short. What he saw at the treeline was not a wolf. What his descendants would eventually call it was not a man. And what the isotope numbers in a Neanderthal femur are quietly telling us this year is that the folklore may have been keeping records the entire time.

What exactly is Classical Christian Education? Ask ten people, and you might get ten different answers. Is it about Latin? The Great Books? The Trivium? Character formation? Academic excellence? In this foundational episode of our series, What is Classical Christian Education?, Davies Owens sits down with one of the pioneers of the modern classical movement, Dr. Robert Littlejohn, to answer that very question. Drawing from more than three decades of experience founding schools, training educators, and shaping the movement itself, Dr. Littlejohn explains why Classical Christian Education is far more than an educational method. It's a timeless approach to forming wise, articulate, faithful young men and women who are prepared not just for college or careers—but for life. Together, Davies and Robert explore why this centuries-old model may be exactly what families need in today's rapidly changing world. Tune in to hear: Why Classical Christian Education continues to grow around the world The surprising story that convinced Robert Littlejohn to start a classical school Why challenge—not ease—often produces joy in learning What makes a classical education different from simply adding Bible classes to a modern curriculum Why subjects like Latin and logic still matter today How classical schools cultivate "sticky faith" that endures into adulthood Why the Great Books remain relevant in every generation How timeless wisdom prepares students for a rapidly changing technological world To receive a free copy of Robert's book Wisdom and Eloquence for Parents for a limited time go to www.WisdomAndEloquence.org, and click on “Contact” to fill out your information for the free book.

She has always been here. feared and burned and silenced and dismissed — and she is rising. And she is you. In this luminous, landmark season finale of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar bring twelve episodes of sacred conversation home to their breathtaking conclusion: the return of the Wise Woman. The keeper of plant medicine, the midwife, the death walker, the healer, the one who holds the community's memory. The woman who was not suppressed because she was dangerous in a harmful way — but because she was powerful in a way that could not be controlled. She didn't need a building to practice in. She didn't need an institution to authorize her. She didn't need anyone to interpret the sacred on her behalf. Her knowledge came from the earth, from lineage, from direct relationship with the unseen world. And that kind of authority — unmediated, ungovernable — was the greatest possible threat to systems built on control. Mary traces the history with unflinching clarity: the witch trials were never about witchcraft. They were about land, autonomy, and women who knew things and could not be made to unknow them. Millions of healers, midwives, and herbalists — the keepers of community wisdom — were silenced. But here is what Dawn reminds us with absolute certainty: the knowing was never destroyed. It lives in the earth, in the plants and the stones, in the cycles of the moon. It lives in the body of every woman who has ever felt something she couldn't explain — and knew it was real. It was driven underground. And now it is coming back up. Through SoulFire Sisters. Through you. Mary and Dawn close the season not with a weekly practice, but with a blessing — a full transmission for the Wise Woman who has been present in every single one of these twelve conversations, whether she was named or not. A woman who guides from her soul rather than a template. Who holds the container when everything falls apart. Who refuses to stop believing that the world can be different. Remember. Reclaim. Rise. This season's final SoulFire Spark is not a task. It is a question — one to write somewhere you will see it every single day, in every crossroads moment, in every moment you are tempted to play small or stay quiet or give when you really need to receive: What would the wise woman in me do? Ask her. She will answer. She has been waiting to be consulted. You were not born to play small in somebody else's story. You were born to author a new one. And Season 3 is coming.

Earlier this year, a longtime south Minneapolis restaurant stopped putting prices on its menu. The diner formerly known as Modern Times rebranded itself as Post Modern Times and shifted to a donation-based model during the Minnesota ICE surge. Owner Dylan Alverson said he wanted to create a place where anyone could get a meal, regardless of their ability to pay. Months later, the restaurant is still operating on donations and drawing national attention for its unconventional approach. Dylan Alverson, owner of Post Modern Times in Minneapolis, spoke to Minnesota Now host Nina Moini about why he's sticking with the approach and how he's getting neighborhood input.

In this thought‑provoking episode of the Authority On Demand Podcast (formerly Authors On Mission Podcast), host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with Daniel Grace, author of In the Wake of Golgotha. Grace reframes the crucifixion story by exploring its “collateral damage,” giving Judas and Pilate a second look as complex enablers rather than one‑dimensional villains.Set in modern‑day New York City, the novel follows reincarnated characters Jude Issachar (Judas, burdened by guilt) and Peter Pfeiffer (Pilate, cursed with ignorance) as they grapple with redemption, fate, and violence. Grace also shares how his Tuscan winery inspired his next project, Territorium, a dark tale of buried secrets in ancient vineyards.✨ Key TakeawaysThe premise of In the Wake of Golgotha: collateral damage of the crucifixionReimagining Judas and Pilate as enablers, not just betrayersSparse historical records as a “blank canvas” for storytellingModern reincarnation in NYC: guilt, ignorance, and redemptionThemes of faith, fate, addiction, and state violenceHow winemaking and history inspire Grace's upcoming novel Territorium✨ Whether you're a reader fascinated by fresh takes on history, a lover of dark, thought‑provoking fiction, or someone intrigued by the blend of wine and storytelling, this episode offers a bold new perspective.

Political Awakenings and the Universal Silent HeroDuring a 1931 world tour, Chaplin was appalled by the hopelessness of the global depression, which inspired the social commentary in Modern Times. This period marked the beginning of his troubles with the FBI, who surveilled him despite his conservative financial habits and immense wealth. Chaplin famously resisted the transition to sound to protect the Tramp's universality, fearing an English accent would limit the character's global appeal. He finally spoke on screen in The Great Dictator, playing both a Jewish barber and a parody of Hitler, whose mustache Chaplin believed may have been an imitation of his own famous screen persona.

What does it mean to truly fear God, and why is that the starting point for wisdom? In this message launching the Ancient Wisdom in Modern Times series, we open Proverbs 1 and discover that the fear of the Lord is not about being terrified of God, but standing in awe of Him in a way that changes how we live. This sermon explores the difference between knowledge and wisdom, why God's Word is meant to transform more than just our thinking, and how misplaced fear of people, failure, or opinion can keep us from living freely. If you've been drifting, negotiating with God's truth, or needing direction for real life decisions, this teaching is a clear call to pursue wisdom, obey God wholeheartedly, and build your life on what is actually true.New to Friends Church?

Father Elliot Zak joins Patrick to discuss Evangelization in Modern Times Father shares a little bit about himself. (5:03) what is evangelization? (10:13) Nick - Love how you started the show. Key is finding where they're at and listening in. The greatest thing we can do to evangelize is give our witness. Lord gives us the inspiration to evangelize. We have to pray on those inspirations. Philip - I evangelize. I was able to continue this mission since 2000. It's entering into the unknown and not being afraid. Mine was nursing home care. Finding out if anyone is praying the Rosary. So many assisted living/nursing homes. Bring your rosary and bring it up with permission (activities coordinator). (17:48) Dana - Choosing a particular book that may be of interest to my daughters. We are in a book club. I chose a book and they tore it down. It was a religious book. If I'm going to be part of their club, it has to include what I have. Evangelization with my daughters...what would be an interesting book to capture their attention and get them thinking? (22:43) Break 1 (25:48) Joel - I have been wearing a cross outside my shirt. People always comment, 'That's a beautiful cross.' Really brings up Christianity. A lot of guys and women are wearing the cross because of an organization in Fargo, ND. I give them out and it's a great way to spread evangelization. (28:26) what is the “new evangelization”? how do you respond to Christians who have questions about the Catholic Faith? Janet - A couple friends have started restaurant ministry. We go out to eat and say grace before meals. We ask our server how we can pray for them. Amazing some of the stories we hear. Easy way that's non-threatening. (37:57) Break 2 (39:48) Justin - Handing out little Jesus statues. I buy them off Amazon and hand them out. Easy way to spread the word. (41:19) Stephanie - How to approach in conversation with my non-believer friend. She told me she was baptized Catholic, raised Jehovah Witness. Now she's a non-believer. She's dear to my heart and it hurt me when she said she doesn't believe. Going to see her this week and hesitant, maybe scared, to approach it. (46:22) Role of social media and AI in Evangelization.

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about the role of Body Ecology in Candida, Long COVID, viral illness, and autism. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Donna Gates.  Donna Gates, MEd, ABAAHP is a pioneer in gut health, infections, and immunity.  Decades before it became mainstream, she was the first to teach about the extraordinary and complex world inside the gut, now known as the microbiome, and how it influences immunity, brain health, metabolism, and long-term wellness.  She is the founder of Body Ecology, a revolutionary system that introduced the first gluten-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free nutritional approaches, with a strategic focus on specific fermented foods to create a thriving inner ecosystem in the gut.  In her bestselling book, "The Body Ecology Diet", which has remained relevant for decades, Donna explains how to conquer Candida, restore microbial balance, and rebuild the immune system.  She reveals how the inner ecosystem is established at birth and how this process represents nature's original form of building a vibrant immune system.  By partnering with nature, rather than attempting to override it, we build true immune resilience, even in a toxic world where pathogens are a constant threat.  Her newest book, "Taming the Dragon: Body Ecology's Guide to Preventing and Treating Viral Infections", offers practical solutions for persistent viral illness, immune dysfunction, and long-haulers. Key Takeaways: What is the Body Ecology diet? What strategies can support optimizing Candida and the inner ecosystem? Can fermented foods be used in those with MCAS? How are conditions such as SIBO and SIFO approached? What was Donna's personal journey with Long COVID? What tools has Donna found helpful for regaining her health after COVID? How did SOT help Donna move past Lyme disease? What is the impact of spike proteins and how might they be mitigated? How can vascular health be optimized in the era of COVID? What strategies can support a robust immune system and minimize immunosenescence as people age? What role do chronic viruses have on health? Is it more important to boost or to modulate the immune system? How does the Cell Danger Response fit into the chronic illness discussion? What are some strategies for supporting the vagus nerve? What dietary changes are important when dealing with a viral condition? How do acidity and alkalinity play a role? What are some strategies for supporting detoxification? What has Donna seen over many years of working with children with autism? What is the Epigenetic Reset?
