Podcasts about Mona Lisa

Otto Saelens vond op de zolder van Lisa en Fred Oosterwijk alles wat hij nodig had om een luizenleventje te leiden. Voortaan hoefde hij zich nergens meer zorgen over te maken. Naaimachines herstellen behoorde voorgoed tot het verleden. Het individu loste op in het niets. In Roode verspreidde Lisa het gerucht dat de reparateur promotie had gekregen en nu werkte op het hoofdkantoor van Singer. Maar in werkelijkheid was hij haar gevangene van de liefde. Hij had zich gewillig door zijn Mona Lisa laten ketenen, zodat zij elkaar konden liefhebben in alle rust en vrijheid.MYSTERIES VAN ROODEEr bestaan misdaadverhalen die zo onwaarschijnlijk zijn dat zelfs de meest ervaren romanschrijver ervoor terugschrikt om ze te vertellen, omdat ze zo ongeloofwaardig klinken. Toch zijn het vaak precies deze verhalen die waar gebeurd zijn. De geschiedenis van de misdaad zit vol moorden, verdwijningen, oplichterijen, obsessies en complotten die de wildste verbeelding tarten. Een aantal ervan zijn zo vreemd dat ze alleen konden plaatsvinden in uw en mijn werkelijkheid...Met Mysteries van Roode bevind ik mij opnieuw op het terrein waar ik al een heel schrijversleven vertoef: op de dunne grens tussen feit en fictie. Elke aflevering in deze reeks vertrekt vanuit een waargebeurde misdaadzaak, maar eenmaal aangekomen in Roode ondergaat die werkelijkheid een merkwaardige transformatie. Roode zul je vruchteloos zoeken op een kaart, toch is de kans groot dat je - als bewoner van de Lage Landen - het provinciestadje herkent. Want het is opgebouwd uit herinneringen, anekdotes, lokale legenden, vergeten krantenberichten en de schaduwen van tientallen echte gemeenten. Het ligt ergens tussen (ook) jouw werkelijkheid en mijn verbeelding in. Wie er eenmaal arriveert, ontdekt dat achter elke gevel een geheim schuilgaat...Deze ingreep is niet gebeurd om de waarheid te verbergen, maar om haar zichtbaar te maken. Fictie laat ons soms scherper kijken naar de realiteit dan een letterlijk verslag ooit zou kunnen. Door afstand te creëren ontstaat ruimte voor verbeelding, ironie, tragiek en menselijkheid. Zo werd deze Mona Lisa van Roode geïnspireerd door de beruchte Amerikaanse zaak van Walburga Oesterreich, de vrouw die jarenlang haar minnaar verborgen hield op de zolder van haar woning, terwijl haar echtgenoot niets vermoedde...Hier kun je een essay lezen over de zaak waarop dit verhaal werd gebaseerd.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ware-misdaad--5433901/support.De Duiveleilanden van Patrick Bernauw is een boek dat alles te maken met de podcast serie van Ware Misdaad, De Duivelseilanden. Alle info over paperback en ebook: https://www.bernauw.com/p/de-duivelseilanden.html  De boeken van Patrick Bernauw zijn verkrijgbaar in iedere plaatselijke of online boekhandel, zoals Bol of Standaard Boekhandel.  This episode includes AI-generated content.

A gente tá acostumada com a quantidade imensa de fatos da política, mas às vezes é muito importante parar um pouco para organizar as ideias e entender o que está acontecendo, não é mesmo? Neste episódio d'As Cunhãs, convidamos a cientista política Monalisa Soares, nossa cunhanzete honorária, para nos ajudar a interpretar o que tem acontecido tanto na política nacional como na local.  A começar pela crise instalada por Michelle Bolsonaro após o vídeo em que ela acusou o enteado Flávio Bolsonaro de ter sido grosseiro, de tê-la escanteado da política e de ter traído o eleitorado conservador, ao aceitar que o PL apoie Ciro Gomes (PSDB) no Ceará. Afinal, qual é o real sentido de toda essa confusão na direitona?  Na política local, falamos da "crise da maconha", que atingiu o governo Elmano em cheio, do sumiço de Cid Gomes (PSB) e da cobrança de aliados para que a chapa governista seja resolvida o quanto antes. Pelo visto, a depender de Cid, essa decisão pode ficar para o final do prazo da Justiça Eleitoral. Como avaliar essa postura? Monalisa nos ajudou demais a desvendar esses movimentos e as possíveis consequências deles.  Bora assistir, que tá um episódio daqueles: bom demais!

A man in a poly relationship is worried that his penis smells like his girlfriend's vagina despite his meticulous hygiene practices. This doesn't bother him. But when he eventually convinces someone else to go down on him, will they notice? Is there a "special soap" he could use? In Paris, in the year 1911, an employee of the Louvre made off with the Mona Lisa. Fast forward to the year 2024. A woman "acquired" an explicit erotic painting left behind in an office re-organization featuring two men who live above the space. After 2 years of it hanging on her wall, she really loves this painting. She thinks the couple commissioned the art. Does she have to return it to them, and what on earth should she say if she does? On the Magnum, in order to counter some of the skepticism around the practice of hypnokink, we welcome Daniel McGlothlen, kink educator, performer, and adult content creator who specializes in hypnosis. Is it real? Is it fun? Listen in. And, a man issues a chilling PSA/warning. If you're kinky, and end up getting divorced, you might wish you had durable evidence of consent. Have a question?

Living up to the perfect standard of the law is like being asked to recreate the Mona Lisa perfectly. Sure, you can try to be super diligent and recreate every brushstroke as closely as you can, but your recreation will not live up to Da Vinci's standard. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that you cannot perfectly follow the Law, and that the marriage that bound you to the Law was never going to save you. Instead, it is the grace of God that saves you, by releasing you from your captivity, and giving you new life in Christ.

In today's episode we welcome back psychotherapist and thought leader Shannon Algeo for his second visit to the podcast. We explore Shannon's new book, “The Power in Your Hands” about our relationship to our smart phones and his quest to liberate himself from his own attachment to technology. We talk about: How nature, biking, and music all shaped Shannon's early years and how they continue to nourish his soul when he feels the despair of digitization. When Shannon found himself in his early twenties as an influencer getting thousands of followers and likes, and the light and the shadow of this experience. His personal reckoning with the attachment to his phone and how he faced his own compulsive tendencies around this. The research about people's attachment style and how they relate to their phone. Several stories about his time in France while writing this book (one with the Mona Lisa) that revealed to him society's relationship to their phones and the anger he felt. The experiments he has done about going offline, including what he calls the “Sacred Slow” digital fast, that have changed his relationship to technology and to life.

Most founders hit the same wall: they're brilliant at the vision but drowning in the details — and the business stops growing because of it. In this episode, Jim Robinson breaks down the Visionary/Integrator dynamic from EOS and Rocket Fuel, and shares what 41 years in business (and thousands of employees) taught him about which hats to take off first. Jim explains how he discovered his own integrator early, why he made her a partner so she'd never leave, the 80% rule for delegating, and the "plant seeds on Monday, harvest on Friday" method for getting big ideas implemented without overwhelming your team. If you're a founder, entrepreneur, or leader wearing too many hats, this one's for you.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:22 – Welcome to Visionary Leader00:43 – What is EOS — and why you can't wear every hat01:33 – How Jim found his integrator (and made her a partner)03:00 – Visionary vs. Integrator: the two roles explained04:29 – Painting the Mona Lisa: storyteller vs. rule-maker06:57 – Why visionaries feel pressure to do it all10:33 – "It's not confusion — it's a creative mind at work"13:05 – Your first hire when you're wearing every hat15:19 – The hardest part: letting go (and the 80% rule)17:49 – Handling mistakes & building a culture of ownership21:09 – Positional health vs. personal health22:44 – Plant seeds on Monday, harvest on Friday25:52 – Too many rules: a pilot's lesson on structure27:30 – Closing: define your positions and learn to trust

In Other Lives Our Own (Spuyten Duyvil, 2025) Jason Weiss reflects on travel, language, memory, identity, and the stories we inherit and create. This conversation explores how we inhabit each other's stories, tracing how movement across places and languages reshapes our understanding of self and belonging. Drawing on experiences in New York, Paris, Mexico, California and beyond, Weiss reflects on what it means to be a foreigner, the shifting nature of home, and the limits of labels such as "American." Weiss reveals his gift for uncovering meaning in overlooked moments. He reflects on the value of curiosity, attentiveness, and recognizing significance in experiences that often go unnoticed. Whether discussing art, literature, family history, or everyday encounters, he argues that "in all our experiences there is more meaning than we normally give them." This conversation includes Jason Weiss, Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera and Jorge Rodríguez Acevedo. Other episodes of the Nuevos Horizontes podcast with Jason Weiss include discussions of his books Listenings (in English and Spanish) and Lights of Home: A Century of Latin American Literature in Paris. The Instituto Nuevos Horizontes is housed at the Universidad de Puerto Rico-Mayagüez. Topics, scholars, books and quotes mentioned: Susan Beegel Aurora Levins Morales "I think it [home] is a moving perspective." -Jorge Rodríguez Acevedo Heraclitus the Obscure "Where are you from? I think that changes." -Jorge Rodríguez Acevedo "If you say, 'you're from here' - you're too conscious of all that's missing from that answer." -Jason Weiss "Parisian as a temporary designation felt right, as I enjoyed being a foreigner." -Jason Weiss The Paradox of Choice "Most things are like lightbulbs; they burnout and we throw them away" -Jorge Rodríguez Acevedo John Steinbeck, Tortilla Flat Travel Writing "…lack curiosity about the ones who went away" (Other Lives Our Own 63). "Leaving disrupts a shared story, and the return doesn't quite fit the version of you they hold onto." -Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera "They thought [the US] was a land of boundless opportunities, not endless forgetting" (Other Lives our Own 37). "They didn't talk about the old country. The stuff to remember is predominantly not pleasant or they have that attitude that we have to look forward." -Jason Weiss on previous generations of Eastern European Jews "American culture has always been angled toward not remembering." -Jason Weiss "Myself, I find it complicated to work with [the word 'American']. But when you use it, I feel like I'm reading the cheeky, brilliant kid sitting in the back of the class, using it with all this other meaning." -Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera "Travel supercharged my desire to learn it [Spanish]." -Jason Weiss "It should be a requirement for everyone to know at least two languages...I think of it as a toolbox, it gives us the capacity to think in another way." -Jorge Rodríguez Acevedo "Every American should have to study Spanish.” -Jason Weiss Anti-intellectualism in the US "[A title can be] a wink at the reader." -Jason Weiss Juanes, "A dios le pido" "In another place, we are always someone else and maybe also the same. A little disoriented, almost lost, unsure of what we know. We speak another tongue, and our own tongue becomes different too: a secret among strangers, possibly a trap" (Other Lives our Own 21). Louis Leroy Claude Monet, Impression, Sunrise Bringing Back New Concepts to This Mad City, Caroline Hagood. Los Angeles Review of Books "The Gleaners and I," Agnès Varda "In all our experiences there is more meaning than we normally give them." -Jason Weiss "The crowd is at the Mona Lisa but in the room next door you see works that make you say. This is so great, how is no one looking at this? Those types of things are happening in our own lives." -Jason Weiss "UPR as a model for what US universities could do." -Jason Weiss "On the Puertoricanization of US Higher Ed," Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera "…recognizing the otherness in yourself." -Jorge Rodríguez Acevedo Learn more about your ad choices.

Across this episode and the next, Justin and Bec are taking an extensive look at Elvis' home recordings made during his time in the US Army while serving in Germany. Though none of them surfaced until after his death, as we learned from "The Colonel & The King" last year, Elvis was explicitly encouraged by his manager to record material at home in secret. Excerpts from the tapes have appeared on such releases as A Legendary Performer Vol. 4, A Golden Celebration, Home Recordings, and Memphis Recording Services' "Made in Germany" - and by sheer coincidence, on the day we recorded the episode, the official Elvis collector's label Follow That Dream announced an upcoming 2026 box set "Elvis - Soldier Boy" that will feature two books and new restorations of these home recordings. What we hear on the tapes is a a fly on the wall glimpse of a deeply private celebrity during a period of intense homesick and loneliness, coping with the grief of having lost his mother and being away from everything he's come to know as a successful musician and film star... but also a determined, fully invested artist developing his skills. Plainly evident is Elvis exploring concepts and styles with friends, family and creative collaborators like Red West and Charlie Hodge, for his return to his career upon the end of his military service.  Songs like "Like A Baby" and "Are You Lonesome Tonight" foreshadow Elvis' singles and secular "Elvis is Back" album from 1960, while his love of gospel continues to be evident as "He Knows Just What I Need" and "His Hand in Mine" similarly nod toward the coming gospel album. Yet there on these tapes that Elvis never again touched (on known recordings, anyway): Hank Williams' "I Can't Help It If I Still In Love With You," Nat King Cole's "Mona Lisa," and Don Gibson's "Oh Lonesome Me," and many more! Was he just fooling around with songs he'd heard, or was he seriously considering these for his upcoming albums? And with material like "Are You Sincere," "Stand By Me" and "Danny Boy" popping up here, too: how do these home recordings fit into the larger puzzle of Elvis' musical journey from pre-Sun Records all the way to the Jungle Room? We ponder all that and more. A technical note: Aside from clips from the above box sets/compilations where specifically mentioned, most of the audio from the home recordings you'll hear is audio that has been "re-balanced" on a per-track basis for the purposes of education, analysis and historical interest. While the new FTD set is not available yet, and MRS's release was a decently faithful restoration of the tape, other releases have featured excessive noise removal, so much of what you hear in this episode are careful adjustments that aim to retain full content and quality while making the vocal nuances a bit clearer as though the tape recorder had been a bit closer to Elvis & the other vocalists' mouths rather than closer to the instruments. Hopefully you may hear little inflections or details you hadn't ever heard before! 

Raphael's years in Florence (c. 1504–1508) placed him at the center of one of the most extraordinary moments in Renaissance art, where he encountered both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo at the height of their powers. Under the Soderini Republic, Florence became a stage for artistic innovation, marked by Michelangelo's David, Leonardo's Mona Lisa, and the unrealized battle frescoes commissioned for the Palazzo Vecchio.This episode explores how Raphael absorbed and transformed the lessons of these two rival masters. From Leonardo, he adopted naturalism, portrait composition, and sfumato; from Michelangelo, monumental form, line, and color. Yet Raphael forged a distinctive style defined by harmony, clarity, and balance, culminating in works such as the Maddalena Doni portraits and the Madonna of the Goldfinch before his departure to Rome under the patronage of Pope Julius II.Watch/Support/Learn: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastWorks Discussed: Michelangelo, David, 1501-1504 https://www.galleriaaccademiafirenze.it/opere/david-michelangelo/Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa, 1503-19 https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl010062370Leonardo da Vinci, The Battle of Anghiari, unfinished, lost. Michelangelo, The Battle of Cascina, unfinished. Raphael, Portraits of Agnolo and Maddalena Doni, 1504-07 https://www.uffizi.it/en/artworks/portraits-doni-raffaelloRaphael, Madonna of the Goldfinch, 1506 https://www.uffizi.it/en/artworks/mary-christ-and-the-young-john-the-baptist-known-as-the-madonna-of-the-goldfinchThe Florentine Renaissance CourseSupport the show

Larry talks with you about every topic from jury duty to the Mona Lisa and back in hour 3. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci is widely looked upon as the most famous painting in the world.By some historical estimates, the Mona Lisa took as many as 16 years to finish! Capturing Mona Lisa's famous smile on a poplar plank was no hack job; Leonardo accepted a commission for the work in the year 1503, and completed his masterpiece supposedly around the time of his death in 1519. Clearly, this level of artistic achievement takes time.When you hear the word “masterpiece,” what do you think of? A famous painting? A beautiful building maybe? Your child's latest artwork?What about a giant sequoia tree? A symphony? A pink flamingo? The intricate, miraculous design of the human heart?Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”Before you were even born, God knew you, and He had a plan for your life. He created you for a purpose, and He considers you one of his personal works of art. You are a living, breathing miracle capable of wonderful things—God's own masterpiece.Let's pray.God, we thank you and praise you that in all of creation, you have chosen to make us in your image, and to fashion us as a masterpiece—a work of art designed with care. Help us to be worthy of your effort. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

My next door neighbor in our dorm in college always wanted to preach like Billy Graham. I mean he really wanted to preach like Billy Graham. He would record Billy Graham on his radio program, and then he would listen to the tapes over and over again. He would copy everything, including even the inflections of Billy's voice. And then he would watch Billy Graham. He studied his gestures; he'd try to get them down and gesture just when Billy Graham would. He'd hold his Bible like Billy Graham. Now you are going to think he was really a fanatic, but this really is true. He told me he even counted the words per minute that Billy Graham averaged and tried to get the same pace. Wow! That's a crazy way to approach ministry, huh? Well, it's more common than you might think. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “You Be You.” Our word for today from the Word of God – one of the most challenging, exciting statements in all of the New Testament – is in Ephesians 2:10. This is about you now. “For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Wow! God has created you as a unique, one-of-a-kind servant, uniquely prepared, uniquely wired by Him for a very unique set of plans which He prepared in advance for you to carry out. The problem comes when we start to compare ourselves with other people. You really can't compare yourself because you are a category all by yourself. You might never count the words per minute in somebody's sermon to copy them, but maybe you are looking at someone else God is using and you're saying, “You know, I can't talk like that. I don't know what they know. I'm sort of shy; I'm not that outgoing. You know, I don't have the training they have. I could never serve God like that; I'm not like that person.” You're right! You're not like them. Hurray! You weren't meant to be. You were created for works only you can do. I think we should look for models and learn from their values and their thinking and their ways of working, but not to become clones. The Mona Lisa is an original, it's priceless, but you can buy a postcard of the Mona Lisa for like 50 cents at the museum, because copies are cheap. Originals are priceless. Don't devalue yourself by copying someone else; trying to be like someone else. There's so much in social media that makes us want to do that. Don't do it! That's an awful, unnatural bondage if you're still trying to be like someone else. You see, everything you need - to do what God put you here to do - you have. And all those things that you don't have? Guess what? You don't need. You've got the right hair, you've got the right height, you've got the right body, you've got the right voice, you've got the right intelligence, you've got the right talents, and you've got the right limitations - even your background. See, God is using your background to make you into that unique servant of His. He's weaving a tapestry, and putting into that tapestry the people and experiences that will make you the man or woman you were designed by Him to be. So be yourself! Relax! Be the person that God made for a unique role that you are destined to fulfill. You compare with somebody else? You'll never get off the ground. You try to copy someone else, and you will never be the person you were created to be. I think you can say as you look at your life and the plans that God has for it, “God, you know what You're doing.” He sure does. Thank Him for making you the only you there is, and don't try to be a Christian clone. You are an original. So, you be you.

We all do it - put things off, tell ourselves we'll start tomorrow, and somehow still miss the deadline. But chronic procrastination isn't just a bad habit; it's self-sabotaging behavior that can derail our goals, relationships, and even our health. Psychologist Dr. Joseph Ferrari, a leading expert on procrastination, breaks down the emotional roots of procrastination, debunks the myth that we "work best under pressure," and offers science-backed strategies for change. Plus - meet one of history's most legendary procrastinators: Leonardo da Vinci. Find out how his epic delays shaped the Mona Lisa, and why some believe he never truly finished it.   Thanks for enjoying this archive episode of This Is Your Brain.

Alberta announces a vote on whether to hold a vote on whether to separate -- and a former Conservative cabinet minister tells us about his plan to convince as many people as possible that Canada's union is worth preserving. He was restrained without restraint. And now, people in Ireland are demanding answers after the death of a Black man who was suspected of shoplifting -- and set upon by security guards. A Jamaican politician tells us what it was like to be interrupted in parliament for speaking Patois -- or Jamaican -- and why she's speaking out about speaking it. When Victor Bal got his university degree today, he was accompanied by his service dog Kopek -- who joined him for every class he took. And ultimately should also have been given a degree. Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" has come to an end; a long-time writer for the show tells us the host's finely tuned moral compass guided the writer's room, even on the toughest days.Everybody wants their photo taken with one Parisian celebrity -- so the Louvre is moving the Mona Lisa to her very own space, where people can stop fighting over self-portraits with the portrait. As It Happens, the Friday Edition. Radio that hates to get in the middle of a Louvre's quarrel.

Vous vous êtes forcément dirigé vers le tableau de Léonard de Vinci, et vous avez remarqué qu'en regardant Mona Lisa depuis la gauche, d'en face, ou depuis la droite: on a l'impression que La Joconde croise notre regard en permanence. Deux chercheurs allemands, Sebastian Loth et Gernot Horstmann, ont résolu ce mystère : cette impression de regard fixe est due à une illusion d'optique aussi appelé ‘effet Mona Lisa'.

This week on The Creep Dive we spiral headfirst into one of the strangest tabloid stories currently unfolding online: Katie Price's whirlwind marriage to alleged millionaire entrepreneur Lee Andrews a Dubai-based “visionary CEO” whose AI-generated Instagram empire, mysterious business claims, suspicious exes, possible travel bans and sudden disappearance have left the British tabloids absolutely foaming at the mouth.Is he a billionaire futurist? A Tinder Swindler-style scammer? A man held together entirely by Canva, motivational quotes and black-and-white podcast photos? We investigate.Then, because apparently this episode accidentally became about fame, fraud, mythology and the terrifying power of collective belief, Jen takes us into the extraordinary true story of the Mona Lisa theft the bizarre 1911 heist that transformed a relatively overlooked Renaissance painting into the most famous artwork on earth.Featuring: fake wealth, fake identities, Picasso being questioned by police, Katie Price refusing to back down, the psychology of scams, AI self-invention, a handyman hiding the Mona Lisa in a trunk for two years, and the increasingly unsettling feeling that modern life may just be one giant confidence trick held together by vibes and good lighting.Listen ad-free and get an extra full bonus episode every week over on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thecreepdive Hosted on Acast.

En el Día Internacional de los Museos, Pepe Rubio y Sergio Castro se preguntan si seguimos visitando museos para contemplar arte o para demostrar que hemos estado allí: selfies frente a Las Meninas, colas para fotografiar Mona Lisa y exposiciones pensadas para Instagram. Los desmontadores de 'Mitos 2.0', acompañados por nuestro experto en arte Pablo Ortiz de Zárate, tratan de desmentir si "Vamos a los museos por postureo", si ha cambiado nuestra forma de visitarlos, que influencia tienen las redes sociales y el teléfono móvil en como miramos los cuadros...

AOC says it's impossible to earn a billion dollars. Impossible. Which tells you less about economics than it does about the size of her mental studio apartment. That's the Left's whole philosophy now: if they can't imagine it, it must be evil. These are people who think gender is a watercolor painting but success is somehow rigidly capped at “assistant manager at a vegan co-op.”And what a confession this is. Think about it. She's essentially saying:“No human being could possibly create THAT much value.”Really? So what's the value of a cure for polio? What's the value of electricity? Air conditioning in Phoenix alone should make somebody a trillionaire by August. Imagine saying this to history's innovators.Leonardo da Vinci paints the Mona Lisa, invents flying machines, studies anatomy centuries ahead of his time, and AOC strolls in like a substitute teacher with a ring light:“Okay, Leonardo, but nobody needs this much canvas equity.”Or take Elon Musk. You may dislike the guy, but rockets landing themselves used to be science fiction. The man basically looked at NASA and said, “Cute government project. Mind if I try it without the filing cabinets?” Meanwhile, politicians who have never created a paperclip are lecturing innovators about “earning too much.”That's always the punchline. The people most offended by wealth are almost always career government employees whose entire business model is spending other people's money with the precision of raccoons fighting over a vending machine.And notice the arrogance embedded in her statement. It's not merely “some billionaires are corrupt.” Fine, argue that. She's saying human excellence itself has a ceiling.That nobody can be:smart enough disciplined enough creative enough useful enough to generate that level of value voluntarily in the marketplace.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Let's be honest, this episode should have been called ""Shop Talk"" because it's 70% theater rakes, 20% filmmaking and maybe 10% We Like Sportz. I guess we could have called it We Like Shop Talkz. Regardless, Jorm and Akiva are technically talking (as opposed to talking technically) about We Like Sportz from 2008 and featured on Incredibad. The second installment of the ""Just Two Guyz"" franchise we see Guy #1 and Guy #2 sing about their obsession with sports and definitely not their daddy issues. They get some great insight from Daniel Scheinert (of the Daniels who isn't spoiling their next movie, a slow boil court room drama) on theater rakes, and Chester Tam, and Jonah Hill, both of who were on site in Encino when this ""Mona Lisa"" was created.

Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the greatest minds in history. He painted some of the most famous works of art ever: the Mona Lisa, Last Supper, and more. He was also a scientist, an engineer, an anatomist, and an inventor. He is often described as the perfect example of a “Renaissance man.” A Renaissance man is someone who is skilled in many different areas, especially during the time of the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a period of history when art, science, and learning were rapidly developing across Europe. In today's episode, we're going to explore the life of Leonardo da Vinci. Who exactly was he? What were his greatest achievements? Can we really call him a scientist? And does his legacy still matter today, more than 500 years after his death? And we'll do this while practicing our English listening comprehension and learning some new vocabulary!

SummaryGreat leaders aren't just visionaries—they are unwaveringly predictable, establishing trust and stability within their teams. In this week's Visionary Leader with Jim Robinson episode, Jim explores why consistency is a cornerstone of effective leadership and how it fosters an environment where accountability, emotional safety, and success can flourish.Predictability isn't about rigid routines, but rather about being consistent in values, behaviors, and responses, especially under pressure. Jim shares how leaders who consistently show up as their authentic selves build a reputation for emotional steadiness. People crave that reliability; it anchors them during turbulent times and minimizes anxiety that comes from unexpected shifts or inconsistent treatment.The episode highlights the difference between charismatic and steady leaders. While charisma can attract attention, Jim argues that steadiness is what keeps people loyal and driven. Teams take comfort in knowing what to expect from their leader, allowing them to focus on their own performance rather than bracing for leadership mood swings.Practical habits, or as Jim calls them, “rituals,” cement a leader's dependability. Whether it's daily routines or established processes, these rituals make success repeatable and create an infectious culture of excellence.Ultimately, if a leader is great and predictable, people will want to follow. Predictability paves the way from “the poster from Kmart” to “the Mona Lisa”—the kind of legacy every leader hopes to paint.

If you judge him by his own elaborate metrics, Leonardo da Vinci was a failure. Long before the Mona Lisa became shorthand for genius, Leonardo imagined himself as something else entirely: a military engineer, a designer of bridges and armoured vehicles, a master of siegecraft and architecture. In 1482, he wrote a breathless letter to Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, itemising these talents with bravado and noting, quickly, that oh, he could paint, too. Many of his boldest designs never left the page, or arrived centuries too early to be built. By his own standards, the future-facing polymath fell short. In this episode, Elizabeth Day and Dan Jones roam through history's workshops, laboratories, monasteries, and battlefields to ask what failure really looks like. From Leonardo's unrealised machines to Antonie van Leeuwenhoek's accidental discovery of microbiology, from champagne's explosive beginnings to gunpowder's grim transformation, they trace how curiosity, misjudgement, and wrong turns can quietly reshape the world. What emerges is a gentler, stranger truth: failure is often just invention, waiting for the world to catch up. – As always, Dan's royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory. And don't forget to listen to this season's accompanying bonus episodes for this miniseries, where Dan and Producer Al are dissecting the biggest historical failures as submitted by the royal favourites.
