In diesem Interview spricht Monet192 schonungslos über den Preis seiner Träume. Er erzählt von Tour-Momenten, die ihn körperlich an seine Grenzen gebracht haben und von Hallen, bei denen er selbst nicht sicher war, ob sie jemals ausverkauft sein würden. Er erzählt, wie nah Dr0gen, Selbstzweifel und äußerer Druck teilweise kamen und warum er trotzdem standgehalten hat. Monet spricht offen darüber, ob ein Burnout für ihn der Preis wäre, den er für seinen Traum zu zahlen bereit ist. Außerdem gibt er tiefe Einblicke in seinen kreativen Prozess: über 500 Song-Skizzen, die Entstehung seines Albums „AURA“ und seine letzte Writing-Phase in Thailand. #monet192 #interview #deutschrapideal ----------------------------------------------------------- Timecodes:  00:00 Highlights 00:22 Intro 01:06 Schlimmster & bester Tour-Moment 06:20 Letzte Writing-Phase in Thailand 08:36 Warum 28 Songs auf AURA? 09:36 EP mit Morpheuz? 11:50 Monets nächste Meilenstein 13:05 "Begrab mich mit diesem Traum" 20:50 Dr0genversuchungen 22:21 Monets düstere Gedanken 28:16 AI-Chip einpflanzen lassen? 30:03 Das kommt noch ----------------------------------------------------------- SOCIAL MEDIA ► Monet192 bei Instagram: / monet192 ► Monet192 bei TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/monet192 ► Deutschrap Ideal bei Instagram: / deutschrap_ideal ► Deutschrap Ideal bei Instagram: https://www.tiktok.com/deutschrap_ideal ► Simon bei Instagram: / simontellz ► Podcast zur Show bei YOU FM: https://bit.ly/2SxR3RT    ► Podcast zur Show bei Apple: https://apple.co/2k1o61o    ► Podcast zur Show bei Spotify: https://spoti.fi/33a2QIT    -----------------------------------------------------------   ▶ Deutschrap ideal ist eine Produktion des Hessischen Rundfunks für die ARD     -----------------------------------------------------------   ►Credits: Moderation: Simon Vogt Redaktion: Can Luca Oral, Simon Vogt Kamera & Ton: Florian See Schnitt: Florian See Fotos: Fabian Brosi Grafik: Nico Spahn Social Media & Distribution: Vivien Jaschok, Simon Vogt, Cedric Dilling Teamleitung & Produktmanagement: Patrick Secker

A ata da reunião da semana passada do Comitê de Política Monetária (Copom) do Banco Central, divulgada nesta terça, 3, reafirma a indicação de que o ciclo de afrouxamento monetário começará em março, mas não dá pistas da magnitude e da duração dos cortes na taxa Selic. Na semana passada, o Copom manteve os juros em 15% ao ano e sinalizou uma redução em março, mas sem indicar o tamanho do corte. Em entrevista ao 'Jornal Eldorado', Sergio Vale, economista da MB Associados, analisou o cenário para inflação e juros e criticou a falta de comprometimento do governo Lula com as contas públicas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

O Banco Central manteve a taxa Selic em 15% em sua primeira reunião do ano – uma decisão unânime e amplamente esperada pelo mercado. Mas, mais importante do que a manutenção em si, foi o recado do Comitê de Política Monetária (Copom) sobre o futuro.  Após cinco reuniões sem mudanças, a autoridade sinalizou que vai começar a cortar os juros em seu próximo encontro, em março, se o cenário seguir como previsto. O que levou o comitê a enxergar espaço para flexibilização? E, uma vez iniciado o ciclo de cortes, até onde a Selic pode cair?  No minuto 07:55, Claudia Moreno, economista do C6 Bank, também explica como a trajetória do dólar frente ao real pode influenciar as próximas decisões.  Entenda, ainda: Brasil cumpre meta fiscal, mas desafio para as contas públicas continua; Novo chefe no banco central dos EUA e expectativas para os juros.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta quarta-feira (28):Apesar da tentativa do governo de se afastar do caso, a pressão pela CPI do Banco Master ganhou apoio de parlamentares da base e da oposição. O movimento no Congresso indica consenso para investigar o escândalo em meio ao avanço na coleta de assinaturas. A ministra Gleisi Hoffmann (PT) intensificou a pressão para que Fernando Haddad dispute as eleições em São Paulo em 2026. O ministro da Fazenda resiste à candidatura e avalia deixar o cargo para atuar apenas na coordenação da campanha do PT. Após a mudança para o PSD, o governador de Goiás, Ronaldo Caiado, participou do primeiro evento representando a sigla em São Paulo. No encontro, ele confirmou ter conversado com Flávio Bolsonaro sobre o cenário eleitoral de 2026. O presidente do PL, Valdemar Costa Neto, defendeu a união da centro-direita e da direita já no primeiro turno das eleições presidenciais para enfrentar Lula. Segundo ele, a estratégia mais viável é concentrar apoio em Flávio Bolsonaro desde o início da disputa. O Comitê de Política Monetária (COPOM) decidiu manter a taxa Selic em 15% ao ano, maior patamar em quase duas décadas. Apesar disso, o Copom sinalizou a possibilidade de iniciar cortes a partir da próxima reunião, diante da expectativa de controle da inflação. Durante o Fórum Econômico Internacional da América Latina, no Panamá, o presidente Lula (PT) criticou o que chamou de “intervenções militares ilegais” na região. Sem citar nomes, o discurso foi interpretado como um recado direto aos Estados Unidos, em meio às tensões geopolíticas no continente. O governo estuda enviar ao Congresso um projeto único para unificar propostas sobre o fim da escala 6x1. Comentaristas alertam para riscos de desemprego, aumento da informalidade e impacto negativo na economia, enquanto defendem um debate baseado em dados. Após ser criticado por integrantes da própria direita, o deputado Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) minimizou as cobranças e afirmou que se trata de uma “parcelinha” do campo político. O parlamentar também reiterou apoio a Flávio Bolsonaro em 2026. A morte do cachorro Orelha, atribuída a adolescentes, gerou forte comoção e levantou questionamentos sobre responsabilização penal no Brasil. O caso reacendeu o debate após a Suécia anunciar planos para reduzir a maioridade penal em crimes graves. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

Welcome to the Art, Life, Faith podcast. And I’m your host, Roger Lowther. Well, Happy New Year everyone! It’s good to be with you in 2026. I hope you’ve had a good year so far. Two of my boys are in college now but were able to be back with us over the winter break, and we got to have some fun in the snowy mountains of Japan, including an overnight snowshoe camping trip up one of the tallest mountains in Japan. It was beautiful, but it was also very, very cold. So cold, in fact, that the water in our water bottles froze almost immediately. And my fingers stuck to any kind of metal I touched. But so many good memories. Anyway, I want to thank you so much for your support of our newest children’s book, The Tsunami Violin, which was released late last year. Many of you have been writing me notes of encouragement, telling me who you’ve gifted the book to or your own experiences with the story. I want to share one of them with you. One woman read the book to her granddaughter’s elementary school class. In her note to me, she wrote, “Every child was wide-eyed and engaged. Students were able to identify how the characters were happy at the beginning, how they were changed by the tsunami, and how at the end of the story they were happy again because they were able to bring others hope through their story and their music. I will always cherish this special time with the students and that it was possible because of your book.” So of course I’m encouraged to receive notes like this and pray that this book will continue to have an ongoing impact in people’s lives. In our last episode, we shared a little bit about the making of The Tsunami Violin and the people involved. I thought you may also like to hear a little bit more about the background of what went into the making of the book. We consciously followed the traditional sonata-allegro form that is so common in much of classical music. In the beginning, we have the exposition, when the main theme is introduced. The main character is introduced as a tree, living in a literal garden of paradise, a forest that was planted 400 years ago and was designated as one of the most beautiful sites in all of Japan. Then everything falls apart. The tsunami comes and physically breaks the tree, tearing her up by the roots. This is the beginning of the development section, when the melodic theme is broken into fragments. Also, the development is usually in the minor key to express sadness. Then in the story the craftsman shows up, has the tree cut into smaller pieces, takes them to Tokyo, and begins to build a violin out of them. So this is the part where the development continues, where melodic fragments are taken through different keys and different ways: backwards, forwards, and upside down. Sometimes they find new relationships with a secondary theme. In other words, the fragments are put back together in new ways. And then the story ends with the main character finding hope and new life as a violin, surrounded by community through her music. And this, of course, is the recapitulation, the opening musical theme but as a new creation. Somehow that theme is deeper and more beautiful for having gone through the trauma of the development, through the breaking, through the minor key, and we hear the melody with new ears. I pray that as you read this book, you will be filled with new wonder as to how God brings hope into broken lives. Okay, today I want to share with you a conversation I had with Jerrod Partridge, a phenomenal artist working in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. He and his wife Jessie play a central role in the life of the community there, running a studio right on the main strip, and also in the lives of so many artists including, recently, a Japanese intern who came from our community here in Tokyo to spend the summer with that family. I so appreciate them and am happy just to be able to share this conversation with you so that you can get to know them as well. Jerrod Hello Roger. Roger Thank you so much for being on the show. Jerrod Yeah, I’m thrilled to be here. Roger Yeah, I really wanted people to know you, not just because you’re a phenomenal artist, but also because of your story. Jerrod Well, I mean, you’re very integrated into that story. So, it seems appropriate that we’re sitting here talking. Roger Yeah. So let me just try to share with listeners what happened. You came to Japan on a 10-day trip, two weekends with a week in between. And during that time, you did a number of events. For example, there was a church that was just starting in a new location called Double O Cross, and they wanted to introduce their space to the community. And so, in order to do that, they hosted, for the first time, an event. I think it was the first event they ever had in that space. They hosted an art show of your work. It was an amazing event. We had a live musician playing a traditional Japanese instrument, and we had wine and cheese. It was sophisticated. A lot of people came in for the first time, and the pastor was so happy. Jerrod That was a really incredible experience for me to get to experience the church in Japan, to get to experience the culture, meet so many wonderful, gracious people. It was really, honestly, a life-altering experience for me. Roger Also, there’s more about the story of this church. They wanted to plant a second location to have another service, but everyone wanted to be in that one space where the art gallery was because, somehow, I think through events like that, that we were able to do afterwards, people were really drawn into that space. It felt like a place of home. The community really liked being there. It was a space that was a gift to the neighborhood. To introduce that space to the neighborhood through the arts really was a powerful message. Jerrod It was very welcoming. The artwork, how it was displayed, and then having the musician play. I did a drawing while she was playing. So that was a neat collaboration. Then, even one of the guys from the church made some refreshments and snacks that related to the work. Because I do a lot of drawings with walnut ink, he had snacks that were made with walnuts and things. And I thought that connection and relationship was so thoughtful and really made the whole thing have depth and meaning beyond just pictures on the wall. Roger Right, and you should know, too, that some of the relationships made for the first time in that event have continued through that church and through our artist community. I still am talking to those people. Jerrod Yeah, that’s amazing. And likewise, relationships that I’ve made have continued. Roger So cool. Well, then the next day, I think it was, or a day later, we had an event at our church, Grace City Church Tokyo, where we hosted a talk and luncheon before worship and sold some of your works. You were able to talk about it over a sushi lunch, and we also had a Q&A time. Jerrod Yeah, that was really fascinating. It was eye-opening for me, some of the questions that came out, because there are things that we just don’t think about necessarily. We don’t consider how a different culture is going to see your processes and interpretations. One thing that I specifically remember I do a lot of work on handmade paper, and the paper is intentionally really textured. I leave openings and holes. It’s real rough. But I know the Japanese people are used to paper making in such a high form. The paper that they make is so gorgeous and perfectly done. So there was a little confusion of why would you make paper that’s so rough and imperfect. But when I explained the process, there was a really neat connection of understanding why I would choose to do it in that form. So that was a really wonderful memory. Then also the question of why I might have been painting some of the things I was painting. Roger Yeah, I remember that. My church sponsored the event, and we made it clear you were a Christian. It was not necessarily a Christian event, but it was hosted and sponsored by Christians. One of the people asked, “Why do you, as a Christian, why are you painting Shinto Shrines? Why are you painting Buddhist temples?” Jerrod Yeah, that was fascinating. It was an eye-opening question for me because as a foreigner, everything was new and different and visually exciting. I didn’t think too much about why, as a Christian, I might be drawn to these things visually. Roger Do you remember what your answer was to their question? Jerrod Only vaguely. Because I was a little bit surprised by the question. So, you tell me what you remember. Roger I remember you saying, “Because it’s beautiful. I wanted to paint it because it’s beautiful.” But they were a little bit surprised by that because I think there’s a pretty strong message to, especially Christians in Japan, that you should not go to shrines, you should not go to temples, that it is contrary to what the God of the Bible desires. And they try to avoid that side of Japanese culture, which is such a huge part of Japanese culture. It’s a real struggle in the Japanese church, I think. Jerrod Yeah, and I could see that struggle and was glad to be aware of the sensitivity of that. But at the same time, I did feel like the message of the fact that a Christian can see the beauty of what is created by non-Christians, but also the beauty of the fact that everybody are children of God, that whatever understanding we may have of religions, of culture, that there is beauty all around us in God’s creation, but also in man’s creation. And that can be celebrated. That can be celebrated through our approach as Christians without having to limit ourselves to the person making the creations. They have to believe what I believe for me to appreciate what they’re doing. And I just think that that limitation is unnecessary and not helpful. Roger Yeah, I actually I have a lot of discussions with Christian artists in Japan about this, and there’s a lot of opinions about it. We’re still trying to figure it out because, yes, we believe as Christians that there is no beauty outside of God’s beauty. So all beauty is essentially pointing to the source of all beauty. But when it comes through other religions, there is a, I don’t know, a barrier, I think, within the heart that make it difficult to worship God and to see that beauty because of growing up in that culture and such a strong connection between Japanese art and the Japanese religion. Jerrod Yeah, I think as a foreigner, there’s obviously that cultural separation where I’m able to see things from a distance because I didn’t grow up in the culture, and I can just see it all as an outside beauty. There’s a much easier time for me to do that And again, to recognize the sensitivity of a Japanese Christian’s perspective on that was really informative to me. Roger Yeah. I remember one of the practical cool things about the event was that we were inviting many people who weren’t Christians to the art event, to the luncheon. And then because worship was happening right after that in just the room next door, it was one more doorway into Christian community, into Christian worship. People came from that event then to worship for the first time in their life because of what you did, because you came. Let me transition to that. Why did you come to Japan in the first place? Jerrod Well, it was a really unexpected thing. You came and did a concert at our church here in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, because of a relationship that you had with our pastor. I felt the need to introduce myself after I heard you play. I’ve always been very drawn to and attracted to Japanese aesthetics. The fact that it’s encouraged nationally is a really fascinating thing to me, but it’s always been something I’ve been drawn to. When I found out that you were a performing artist in Japan, I just felt the need to introduce myself. From that introduction, you saw the work that I was doing. You invited me to Japan. Our church decided to help me get there. They ended up sending me to Japan to have this exhibition with you. It felt all very God-led because none of us planned any of it. It was like just from that introduction, all these things started happening that felt necessary and changed lives in a way that we could not have planned. Roger That’s so true. I love meeting artists wherever I’m traveling around. But the fact that after inviting you, you said, “Yeah, I’ll come.” Now, that is very unusual. Most people I invite, they’re like, Well, that’s okay. Thank you. I had no idea how talented you were as an artist at the time, but also how good you are with people. Just to see how God worked through you was just an amazing blessing in so many ways. To see how God just, through that one chance meeting, that all this came about. So one of the things that came about is recently a Japanese artist came from Japan and stayed in your home for a while and worked as an artist. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Jerrod Yeah, so we hosted Satomi Suzuki. I met Satomi when I was in Japan in 2019, but it was a very brief meeting, and I didn’t know for sure that we had met. When you mentioned to me the idea that she was looking for an artist in residency program. My wife and I own a flower shop and art gallery here in downtown Ocean Springs. And you saw that that might be an interesting opportunity for Satomi to get a different experience. We said, “Yeah, that sounds wonderful.” The name sounded somewhat familiar, but I met so many people while I was over there, so I didn’t know for sure. But I dug back down into my memoirs from the trip, papers and things that I had brought back, and I found this lovely little note that she had written at my art exhibition of how much she enjoyed the show, how much she appreciated me being there. To see that written out immediately made me feel like there’s this deeper connection that I wasn’t even aware of. Roger You even have it here on the table next to you. You kept it. Jerrod I pulled it out for you to see because the name sounded familiar because she had written this at the show, and I had brought it back and read through. And she wasn’t the only one. Multiple really wonderful comments from people that I met. But we were excited about that continued relationship of, “Okay, here’s somebody looking for an art. She wants the opportunity to paint. She wants to experience different things.” And life in Ocean Springs is very different from life in Tokyo. Much fewer people. Much slower pace of life. But again, it felt like something that was beyond our knowledge and intention of what was going on. And so when the idea came, we said, yes, this sounds like a wonderful thing, a wonderful opportunity for us to have a different experience for our family to experience the Japanese culture coming to Ocean Springs with no clue as to what that was going to look like. We didn’t even know if Satomi spoke English well. We didn’t know anything about her, but we said, Okay, sure. Then we still didn’t know where she was going to stay. Our oldest son ended up getting a job opportunity out of the state for a few months. Jerrod Again, that just fit right into the plan that God had for this to work out that we could not have known was going to happen. So all of a sudden, we had a room available in our home, and we invited her to come and be a part of our family. And she fit in in the most amazing way. She came in with a real loving, gracious heart. She wanted to work. She wanted to be able to experience a different culture. And we thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed having her here. Roger Yeah, that’s so kind of you to open your home to her in that way. I know for a fact, and actually you all too can know for a fact by reading her blog, just how much it’s changed her life to be able to go on this residency, how good it was. I’m going to put some links in the show notes so you can see her artwork and what she was up to. SATOMI SUZUKI INSTRAGRAM Jerrod And she was on a recent podcast with you. Roger She was, yes. Jerrod We enjoyed listening to that. Roger I interviewed her to help raise money for her time here. And so, you can go back and listen to that. I’ll also put a link to that in the show notes. https://www.rogerwlowther.com/2024/05/01/57-beauty-through-gods-eyes-with-satomi-suzuki/ So why Ocean Springs? What brought you here as a visual artist? This is a special place. Tell me why. Jerrod Yeah, there’s a there’s a unique art culture here. We lived in Jackson for a long time, and Jackson has a unique support and celebration. And I think Mississippi as a whole supports artists and the arts. It’s hard to say that this doesn’t exist in other surrounding places. It probably does. But living here and knowing that Mississippi does not always get a good reputation for things. Most of the stories coming out about Mississippi are not positive. But living here, I can tell you it is a very positive and encouraging place for artists. Jackson was wonderful. We ended up moving our family down to the coast in 2016. I grew up in Mobile, which is also on the coast and so being near the water was always an attractive place for me to be. But we moved our family down here. The culture of Ocean Springs has really been developed by this one family, the Anderson family, who in the early turn of the century started a pottery studio. One of the brothers was a really successful potter. One of the brothers, Walter Anderson, was a painter and printmaker. And now there’s a museum here in town dedicated to his work. And it’s really neat to see how this one family of artists have created an aesthetic for the whole town, and how the town celebrates that, identifies with the imagery that they created. I just really love that artists were able to give this unity to a community. I think that attracts artists, that they see that art has become an identifier for this town, and therefore, artists want to be here. Roger I love that downtown area. It’s a walking area, right? Shop after shop after shop. It’s just a really fun place to be. Jerrod It’s beautiful with all the old oak trees. That’s one of the real iconic aspects of the town and the area all along the Gulf Coast, not just Ocean Springs, but the old oak trees are special. There’s actually an exhibition that I curated at the Walter Anderson Museum right now that is based on live oaks. I selected 10 different artists to create work, to dig into the cultural, spiritual, ecological aspects of living with live oaks. It’s something that needs to be celebrated. Roger Yeah. I know that right next to that museum is where you just opened, you and your wife opened up a shop in a really nice hotel in an older style. Jerrod It’s a boutique hotel, so 15 rooms, small but right in the downtown area, right next to the Walter Anderson Museum. Ever since we moved to Ocean Springs, we thought it’d be neat to have something downtown. It just has such a wonderful feel. We thought, Well, that would be neat, but we don’t know how we would do that or what it would look like, or even if it would be supported. We just didn’t know. Then we met the developers on this hotel, and we saw that we had this unified vision for what it could be, and a real nature-focused aesthetic to it. They appreciated what we were doing. Jessie, my wife, with her floral design, fantastic designer, me with the artwork that I was doing. I’m doing a lot of nature-themed paintings, and they just really fit together with their vision of the development. That’s been a really neat thing. Community has really stepped up and supported what we’re doing. It’s been a big learning experience. We’re still within the first year of opening. We’ve never had a physical shop before. I’ve been painting full-time for 15 years. Jessie’s been doing weddings and events for about that amount of time. We’ve always just worked in the studio and then had events that we were working for. This is our first time to actually have our own physical space. It’s been amazing. There have been some hard things to it, but a lot of learning going on. Roger Yeah, I loved seeing this space. Thank you for showing it to me last night. You talked about how the Andersons created this atmosphere where the artist wanted to join, and you now are definitely a huge part of that being right on that main strip with all the old shops in that hotel right next to the museum. It’s just so cool to see how art is playing such a huge role in life of the city here. Jerrod Yeah. And even within the museum itself right now, there’s an exhibition of the Ocean Spring’s Art Association has this huge exhibition of artists from all along the coast within the museum right now. And so, the arts culture here is really huge. It’s encouraging. It’s exciting. We just had this big Peter Anderson Festival in town, where around 150,000 people come in one week. That’s a lot of people. In Tokyo standards, that’s not a whole lot. But for this small town, for that many people to come because of the arts, is really exciting. Roger So we’re just about out of time, but is there anything else you would like to say before we sign off? Jerrod Yeah, I’d like to talk a little bit about just traveling as an artist. We talked about traveling to Japan, but I’ve actually gotten to lead a bunch of groups to Europe for travel and to teach drawing and painting in Europe. We’ve been to Italy 10 different times. We’ve taken groups to Spain and Greece, and we went to Sweden this year. Every time I go to a different culture, I learn something else about humanity, and it’s usually positive. And I think that’s a wonderful thing, to experience the cultures, how people interact with the arts, how people interact with each other, and then being able to bring that back to my daily life. It’s always going to influence you in some way, whether it’s obvious to others or not. It may just be all internal. So the trip to Japan fit in that as well. It was a different type of trip because I was having a show instead of leading a group. But being able to offer that to other people and knowing how life-changing that can be has been a really exciting thing over the past several years to be able to do. I’m actually organizing a trip. We’re going back to Italy next June soon, and then I’m putting together a trip to France to study Monet next September. Roger That’s so cool. People listening, could they join as well? Jerrod Yes, of course. It’s open. We go and we really focus on studying the arts. Some people take drawing and painting lessons from me while we’re over there, but not everybody. Some are just there to soak it up and enjoy it from the periphery. There’s some of us that are really digging into creating work and experiencing the place through drawing and painting. But I understand that’s not for everyone. We do encourage people to respond to the experience creatively in whatever form they may have. They may take photographs. They may write in journals or write poetry. I think that being over there and responding creatively is something that we can encourage no matter what their experience level is. Roger Well, thank you so much for your time and for opening people’s eyes to the beauty of the world around them, the cultures around them. And thank you so much for sitting down with me. Jerrod Thanks, Roger. I appreciate it. JERROD PARTRIDGE WEBSITE

A Magyar Nemzeti Bank Monetáris Tanácsa változatlanul, 6,5%-on hagyta az alapkamatot, ami nem okozott különösebb meglepetést. Ugyanakkor Varga Mihály MNB-elnök bedobott egy érdekes témát: a jegybank gondolkozik azon, hogy növelheti Magyarország az aranytartalékát: kérdés persze, hogy most van-e ennek az ideje, amikor történelmi csúcson az arany árfolyama. Mit üzenne ezzel a piacoknak az MNB?
 Műsorunk első részében ezekről a témákról kérdezzük Beke Károlyt, a Portfolio makrogazdasági elemzőjét. 

A folytatásban arról beszélgetünk Bartus Gáborral, a BME oktatójával, a Nemzeti Fenntartható Fejlődési Tanács titkárával, hogy 2026-ra Európában minden korábbinál élesebbé vált a kérdés: hogyan lehet egyszerre gyorsítani a növekedést és javítani a versenyképességet? Milyen gazdaságpolitikai eszközök és EU-s minták segíthetnek abban, hogy ne ragadjunk bele egy pazarló fejlődési pályába? A szakértő február 25-én a Planet Expo és Konferencia előadója lesz - a rendezvény a Portfolio társszervezésében valósul meg.

Send us a textThe Traitors S4 E4 & E5- Kitchen Blowups and Castle ChaosEpisode 4: “Cut the Head Off the Snake”The episode opens with a brutal face-to-face murder, instantly darkening the mood in the castle. At breakfast, the group learns that Caroline has been killed, stunning Colton, who had partnered with her and now worries the fallout will land on him. The house slips into interrogation mode, dissecting the reactions of those tied to the trees the night before.Ron claims he heard light footsteps, a detail Lisa Rinna nervously echoes, raising eyebrows. Eric believes there were two Traitors, insisting he heard a laugh. Michael's answers strike some as calculated, while Tiffany quietly zeroes in on Yam Yam and Michael as suspects.The reveal of Caroline's murder hits hard. Being taken out face-to-face by two Housewives leaves her shaken, especially after Lisa coldly shuts down any idea of reconnecting outside the game.The mission sends players into the woods to retrieve spears and fire them into beasts, stripping shields as names are shouted. Shields are ripped away from nearly everyone, including Tiffany, Monet, Michael, and Ron, fueling paranoia. Candace grows uneasy as suspicion shifts from Ron to Tiffany, fearing a repeat of the Porsche mistake.At the round table, Colton aggressively leads the charge against Tiffany, accusing her of overplaying. Eric doubles down, claiming he's “99% sure” based on a laugh he heard. Candace pleads for caution, insisting Ron is still her top suspect, but the group steamrolls ahead.The vote is overwhelming. Tiffany is banished and reveals she was a Faithful, stunning the house. Colton admits he made a mistake but vows not to change his aggressive style. Michael now eyes Colton, Rob, and Stephen as possible Traitors.Episode 5: “If You're Gonna Come for Me, I'll Finish You”The fallout from Tiffany's banishment lingers. Eric and Colton express guilt, while Dorinda criticizes Ron for manipulating without building relationships. Suspicion quietly shifts toward Lisa, whose silence is becoming noticeable.The mission ups the stakes: retrieve missing statues to complete a fountain. The twist is deadly. If no one takes a shield, there's no murder. If anyone does, the Traitors strike. With seconds left, the group succeeds, raising the pot to $106,000, but Alan won't reveal whether shields were taken.Back at the castle, tensions erupt. Ron accuses Michael and Dorinda of being Traitors, igniting a volatile kitchen clash between Michael and Colton. Michael accuses Colton of manipulation and isolating him the way Tiffany was targeted. Voices rise, alliances fracture, and players storm out.At the round table, Michael compares his situation to Tiffany's, calling Colton's behavior conniving. A controversial moment follows when Michael implies Colton's secret-keeping makes him dangerous. Michael apologizes for offense but insists his point was gameplay-related.The vote is decisive. Michael is banished and revealed to be a Faithful. Most of the house feels relief, labeling him disruptive rather than strategic.With Michael gone, Colton becomes the new focal point, while suspicion continues to build around Lisa's quiet game.In the turret, the Traitors learn the truth: no shields were taken. Murder is back on the table.If they can kill tonight, Colton is the plan.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

The Last Encore by Rebecca Heath A remote island. It's been eighteen years since the accidental explosion that killed The Cedrics Band lead singer Jonny Rake, and a special documentary is bringing the rest of the band back to play together for the first time. With Jonny's daughter, Monet, stepping into her father's role, and a private island secured as the perfect reunion backdrop, it's set to be a special occasion. A reunion concert. But everyone remembers what happened on that fatal night differently, and as questions are asked about the band's rise and sudden tragic fall, not everyone likes the answers. Old wounds reopen and tempers flare... Then a body is found. A killer on stage. They're trapped on the island together until help arrives, but that might be too late. Because Jonny's death wasn't an accident, and someone wants revenge. Some Bright Nowhere by Ann Packer Eliot and his wife Claire have been happily married for nearly four decades. They've raised two children in their sleepy Connecticut town and have weathered the inevitable ups and downs of a long life spent together. But eight years after Claire was diagnosed with cancer, the end is near, and it is time to gather loved ones and prepare for the inevitable. Over the years of Claire's illness, Eliot has willingly—lovingly—shifted into the role of caregiver, appreciating the intimacy and tenderness that comes with a role even more layered and complex than the one he performed as a devoted husband. But as he focuses on settling into what will be their last days and weeks together, Claire makes an unexpected request that leaves him reeling. In a moment, his carefully constructed world is shattered. What if your partner's dying wish broke your heart? How well do we know the deepest desires of those we love dearly? As Eliot is confronted with this profound turning point in his marriage and his life, he grapples with the man and husband he's been, and with the great unknowns of Claire's last days.

Traitors US S4 Eps 4+5 Recap Welcome to RHAP’s coverage of ALL the Traitors iterations from around the world, including New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. The Traitors US is a high-stakes reality competition set in a secluded castle, where contestants must work together to complete challenges and earn a prize pot—while rooting out the secret traitors hidden among them. Today, Rob Cesternino and Pooya discuss the episodes 4 and 5 of Traitors US Season 4. This week’s The Traitors recap welcomes back Rob Cesternino as host, joined by Pooya, to break down a brutal and emotionally charged pair of episodes. With five episodes already in the books, the season is burning fast and the fallout is getting harder to ignore. Rob and Pooya dig into a devastating stretch of the boot list, reacting in real time to the banishment of Tiffany and the murder of Monet. Rob shares personal insight into both losses, reflecting on his close bonds with them inside the castle and why these exits hit especially hard. From there, the conversation widens into a deeper analysis of why certain players are allowed to be wrong, and survive, while others are immediately punished for the same mistakes. A major focus of the episode is Colton's growing influence among the Faithfuls; how social capital, confidence, and popularity have allowed him to miss publicly without consequence While players like Ron are completely ostracized. Rob offers behind-the-scenes perspective on castle dynamics, explaining how likability and trust often outweigh logic and evidence at the round table. The duo also examines the increasingly dominant Traitors' game. With no gamers in the turret, doubts about their effectiveness are quickly put to rest as Rob and Pooya praise the Traitors' precision, discipline, and ruthless targeting of perceptive Faithfuls before they can regroup. From murder decisions to social insulation, this recap highlights just how far apart the two sides of the game truly are.

Mówi się, że przeszłość nigdy nie odchodzi całkowicie – ona tylko zasypia pod grubą warstwą mchu, czekając na moment, w którym ktoś odważy się zakłócić jej sen. W drugiej części opowieści o Sędytach mechanizm wyobraźni ustępuje miejsca namacalnym dowodom. Pierwsza łopata wbita w ziemię olsztyńskiego Lasu Miejskiego sprawiła, że czas ruszył wstecz, a z głębi zaczęły wychodzić znaki: fragmenty ceramiki, narzędzia i srebrne monety bite w Bagdadzie.Kawa dla Miłki: https://buycoffee.to/dziennik.zmianTen odcinek to wędrówka po śladach, których nie widać na pierwszy rzut oka, a które definiują naszą tożsamość. Razem z badaczami z Towarzystwa Naukowego Pruthenia oraz pasjonatami dawnego rzemiosła, zaglądamy pod powierzchnię codzienności.Pytamy o to, jak echo arabskiego kruszcu i blask bursztynu niosionego przez lodowce splatały się w sieć globalnych powiązań, gdy Olsztyn był jeszcze jedynie nieodkrytym zakolem Łyny.To zaproszenie do spaceru czerwonym szlakiem, gdzie współczesna „Łynostrada” przecina się z dawnymi traktami handlowymi, a nazwy jezior – jak jezioro Ukiel czy dawne Płoci Duga – wciąż niosą w sobie pruski kod. Sędyty przestają być tylko legendą, a stają się pulsującym dowodem na to, że pod naszymi współczesnymi stopami żyją zapomniane historie. Każda skorupa naczynia to ząbek w kole czasu. Czy jesteś gotów, by usłyszeć jego rytm?Głosy i opowieści: Miłka Malzahn oraz goście z Towarzystwa Naukowego Pruthenia i mistrzowie dawnego rzemiosła.Ślad współpracy: Jeśli Państwa projekt potrzebuje uważności na detal i autorskiego podejścia do dźwięku, które zamieni faktografię w żywe, zmysłowe doświadczenie – chętnie podejmę się realizacji audycji lub podcastu narracyjnego.

MANET'S FINAL YEARS AND THE POSTHUMOUS HONOR OF MORISOT Colleague Sebastian Smee. Following the war, Manet painted a series of intimate portraits of Berthe Morisot, capturing her erotic restlessness and "black" mourning attire. Since they could not marry, Manet seemingly facilitated her marriage to his brother, Eugène, who became a supportive husband and advocate for her art. While Morisot struggled with melancholy, she defied Édouard's advice to stick to the Salon, instead exhibiting in almost all the independent Impressionist shows. After Édouard died a painful death from syphilis, and Berthe later passed away, her colleagues Renoir, Monet, and Degasorganized a posthumous exhibition in her honor. The depth of their respect was revealed in a passionate argument between Degas and the others over how best to hang her work to ensure the public understood her brilliance. NUMBER 7

THE 1874 EXHIBITION AND THE BIRTH OF IMPRESSIONISM Colleague Sebastian Smee. In the spring of 1874, a group of painters including Degas, Monet, Pissarro, and Renoir gathered at the studio of the photographer Nadar to exhibit their work outside the established "Salon" system. This group, organizing themselves as the "Société Anonyme," had grown tired of the Salon's hierarchical preference for large-scale history and religious paintings over landscapes and contemporary life. The movement received its name from a critic who wrote a parody of the exhibition, seizing upon the title of Claude Monet's painting, Impression, Sunrise, to mock the work as unfinished sketches lacking structure or deep meaning. While photography existed, these painters sought to tell the story of their times through a revolutionary style that defied convention. Notably absent from this founding exhibition was Édouard Manet, the group's "blood brother" and inspiration, who still believed success required acceptance within the official Salon.

Lindsay is joined by author Stephanie Cowell to discuss her book, “The Man in The Stone Cottage.” In 1846, Yorkshire, the Brontë sisters— Charlotte, Anne, and Emily— navigate precarious lives marked by heartbreak and struggle. Charlotte faces rejection from the man she loves, while their blind father and troubled brother add to their burdens. Despite their immense talent, no one will publish their poetry or novels. Amidst this turmoil, Emily encounters a charming shepherd during her solitary walks on the moors, yet he remains unseen by anyone else. After Emily's untimely death, Charlotte— now a successful author with Jane Eyre— stumbles upon hidden letters and a mysterious map. As she stands on the brink of her own marriage, Charlotte is determined to uncover the truth about her sister's secret relationship. The Man in the Stone Cottage is a poignant exploration of sisterly bonds and the complexities of perception, asking whether what feels real to one person can truly be real to another. STEPHANIE COWELL is the author of 7 novels, including Nicholas Cooke, The Physician of London, The Players: a novel of the young Shakespeare, Marrying Mozart, Claude & Camille: a novel of Monet, and The Boy in the Rain. Her work has been translated into several languages, optioned for film, and adapted into an opera. Cowell has been awarded an American Book Award. She has also been an opera singer, balladeer, and founder of the Strawberry Opera and an outdoor performance series in NYC. Fun facts include auditioning before Richard Rodgers, the Rodgers of Rodgers and Hammerstein fame, and performing in places like the famous Harvard Club and even mental institutions and prisons.

What if paint is the vehicle and you are the medium? We dive deep into Jack Whitten's Notes from the Woodshed with guest host Jamel Wright Sr., tracing how a life shaped by the Jim Crow South, pre-med rigor, and carpentry precision produced a studio practice built on invention. From the famed developer tool to a crow's nest for high vantage points, Whitten redesigned the act of making—choosing systems over spontaneity and treating process like a living experiment.Jamel brings a rich perspective as an Atlanta-based artist and professor whose work spans Georgia red clay, Dutch wax cloth, and large-scale textiles. Together we map the long road to abstraction—Turner's atmospheres, Monet's shadows, Cézanne's form, and the New York School's debates—while centering the Black artists too often written out of the frame. We talk Norman Lewis, Joe Overstreet, Sam Gilliam, and the way community quietly powers discovery, even as art remains a solitary grind. The result is a candid look at research, journaling, and “recipes” that transform failed trials into the first real painting, then the next ten that lock in the language.Along the way, we wrestle with Whitten's audacity—“May the history of Western painting die within me”—and why abstraction can be activism: engineering new tools, removing gesture, and insisting on thought as freedom. If you've ever wondered how to balance materials, memory, and ambition without losing your voice, this conversation offers a field guide. Press play, then tell us what rule you're ready to break.

Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with Bruce Holsinger about stories, community, publishing, teaching, and the craft behind his latest novel, Culpability. Bruce brings a rare lens to contemporary fiction. As a medievalist at the University of Virginia, he teaches medieval literature and applies his enthusiasm to craft classes where the basics—point of view, character arcs, structure—become living tools. He explains why paratext—chat logs, interviews, and excerpts from Lorelei's AI book—lets a novel breathe beyond exposition, capturing how we really encounter the world: through fragmented feeds, competing voices, and the uneasy mix of intimacy and spectacle. Culpability Synopsis:When the Cassidy-Shaws' autonomous minivan collides with an oncoming car, seventeen-year-old Charlie is in the driver's seat, with his father, Noah, riding shotgun. In the back seat, tweens Alice and Izzy are on their phones, while their mother, Lorelei, a world leader in the field of artificial intelligence, is absorbed in her work. Yet each family member harbors a secret that implicates them in the accident.During a weeklong recuperation on the Chesapeake Bay, the family confronts the excruciating moral dilemmas triggered by the crash. Noah tries to hold the family together as a seemingly routine police investigation jeopardizes Charlie's future. Alice and Izzy turn strangely furtive. And Lorelei's odd behavior tugs at Noah's suspicions that there is a darker truth behind the incident—suspicions heightened by the sudden intrusion of Daniel Monet, a tech mogul whose mysterious history with Lorelei hints at betrayal. When Charlie falls for Monet's teenage daughter, the stakes are raised even higher in this propulsive family drama that is also a fascinating exploration of the moral responsibility and ethical consequences of AI.Culpability explores a world newly shaped by chatbots, autonomous cars, drones, and other nonhuman forces in ways that are thrilling, challenging, and unimaginably provocative.Subscribe, share with a reader friend, and tell us: which moment changed how you see the story?Culpability, Bruce HolsingerBruce HolsingerBruce Holsinger Episode #163 The Bookshop PodcastSupport the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

Paris 1874: The Artistic Revolt Against the Salon and the Birth of Impressionism. Sebastian Smee discusses how on April 15, 1874, an exhibition opened marking the birth of Impressionism. The group, including Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley, Cézanne, Degas, and Berthe Morisot, set up the show deliberately outside the established Salon. The Impressionists were frustrated by repeated Salon rejections and were in revolt; they wanted to paint contemporary life and fresh landscapes, rejecting the hierarchy and "made-up landscapes." The name Impressionism originated as an insult from a critic, inspired by Monet's painting, Impression, Sunrise. Critics found the paintings unstructured and lacking deep meaning. A crucial figure absent from the exhibition was Édouard Manet, considered the "father of Impressionism," who still believed success required Salon acceptance and saw the Impressionist show as a small, isolated "silo."

The Wedding, Manet's Decline, and the Posthumous Fight Over Morisot's Legacy. Sebastian Smee discusses how in the aftermath of the "terrible year," Édouard Manet painted Berthe Morisot several times in a series Smee considers one of the greatest records of intimacy in art history. Manet resolved the situation by setting Berthe up with his brother, Eugène Manet, who proved to be a good husband who supported Berthe's dedication to painting. Despite Édouard advising against it, Berthe joined the first Impressionist exhibition, demonstrating her "incredible audacity and independence." The sad aspect was Édouard Manet's decline: he suffered from syphilis and died in agony after a leg amputation. Following Berthe Morisot's death (she contracted an illness while tending to her sick daughter, Julie), Renoir, Degas, and Monet came together to stage a posthumous exhibition to honor her. The process was volatile because each painter felt a fierce, private relationship with her work. In the 20th century, Morisot was often overlooked by male critics who dismissed her domestic subject matter, though her peers viewed her art as innovative and brilliant.
