In this episode of This Week in Barbecue, Rasheed Philips and James Welch cover a wild mix of barbecue news, culture, business, and food-world questions. The show starts with National Mac and Cheese Day and National Nude Day before Rasheed recaps cooking live fire at Windy City Smokeout in Chicago, including jerk chicken, bourbon jerk lamb chops, outside skirt steak with jerk chimichurri, and a memorable meal with Blake at Monteverde.The episode closes with a deeper conversation on authenticity in barbecue. Is culturally driven barbecue really a “third wave,” or is this the Sazón Era? Rasheed and James discuss Egyptian, Thai, Chinese, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Jamaican, Czech, German, and Southern influences, and why the barbecue platter may be one of the most culturally diverse dishes in America.

Med hjälp av författaren Kathy Acker, youtubern Logan Paul och en dödlig sjukdom som liknats vid en blomma, reflekterar Elis Burrau över det som nästan dödar en, och får en att överleva. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2018-08-30.Nyheten om youtubern Logan Pauls makabra reality show-promenad genom den japanska ”självmordsskogen” Aokigahara, når mig samtidigt som jag avslutar Chris Kraus biografi över den experimentella författaren Kathy Acker. Hans groteska fnitter vid åsynen av liket. De blanka sidorna i slutet. Jag ligger i en säng i Tokyo. En mindre jordbävning får hela lägenhetskomplexet att skaka.Det blottas en avgrund varje gång en människa förhåller sig till döden. Jag tänker inte närma mig självmordet nu, men kanske sen. Via den lilla döden. Och nej, jag syftar inte på orgasmen nu. Jag tänker på det som dödar kroppen ”litegrann” med överlevnad som motiv. Döden som får dig att överleva.Cancer är ett paraplybegrepp, men vi som befinner oss inuti koncernen får generalisera. Jag läser ut Chris Kraus biografi ”After Kathy Acker” motvilligt. Den är ljuvligt skvallrig. Det är årets första dag, i den aggressivt luftkonditionerade lägenheten vi hyr i Togoshi-Ginza, och jag läser ut den motvilligt eftersom jag inte vill att hon ska dö i cancer. Det etableras redan i början av biografin: hon ska dö i cancer. Och det etablerades i ”det verkliga livet”. Hon dog i cancer 1997 i Tijuana, Mexiko. Det var ingen överraskning. 22 dagar efter De dödas dag. Hon dog omgiven av s.k. vetenskapsvidrig alternativ medicin och skolbarnsanteckningsblock som hon var alldeles för svag för att skriva i. Omgiven av s.k. vänner. Olika skelett. Varierande grader av skörhet. Redaktörer. Älskare. Helare. All död är stringent. Och den alternativa medicinen var väl inte särskilt vetenskapsvidrig när jag tänker efter. Den var lojt vetenskapsvidrig och den injicerade hopp.Jag återkommer ofta till Kathy Acker vars författarskap jag kanske läst lite för respektlöst, med en bristande koncentration och stor rastlöshet (ibland irritation). Hennes böcker har verkligen stört och inspirerat mig. Det visionära användandet av lögnen och biografin har ofta rört mig till tårar. Respekten inför hennes gärning är liksom grundmurad och lika stor som respektlösheten i min läsning. Allt det där som ekar. Det är ekot från en ängel. Men nu ska det inte handla om ett komplext författarskaps storvulna intelligens. Det ska handla litegrann om att vilja döda sin kropp med ”goda intentioner”. Goda elakartade intentioner. Göra sin kropp starkare. Förgöra det sjuka och det friska. Förföra det sjuka och det friska. Metodiskt. Det ska handla om det som återkommer. Det ska absolut inte handla om självmordet, men kanske lite. Döden är bara en barnsjukdom. Så kommer det vara tills våra barnbarnsbarn är döda. Därefter blir det andra bullar. Så kommer det att vara och så kommer det att bli. Jag läser orden ”stiliserad bild av harakirisituation”, det är en bildtext, research. Det är svårt att inte tänka på Harry Martinsson. Med ett visst referensbibliotek i ryggmärgen är det svårt att inte tänka på Harry Martinsson. Cancer är ett paraplybegrepp, men vi som befinner oss inuti koncernen får generalisera. Jag tycker verkligen att jag får skämta om barncancer eftersom jag haft cancer som barn. Det låter kanske märkligt. Min enda stoiska övertygelse. När det verkligen gäller. Jag återkommer ofta till Kathy Acker men också till cancer, rent tematiskt, i min egen litterära praktik och det har jag faktiskt slutat skämmas för. Det är kanske det enda tolkningsföreträdet av ”värde” jag äger med någorlunda gott samvete. Och jag har bestämt mig för att vattna ur det. Nu har jag bestämt mig! Jag bestämde mig nyss. Jag skäms fortfarande för skämten, men jag måste välja en riktning. Jag ska vattna ur sjukdomen som naturligtvis förändrade mitt liv, mest på grund av hur människor i min omgivning agerade (mer än de ”galopperande cystorna” i min lekamen). Jag ska vattna ur sjukdomen som tog livet av Kathy Acker. Hon visste att kroppen behövde krossas för att kunna resa sig. Dödas lite. Det handlade om upprepning.De så kallade vännerna (bredvid min sjuksäng) var verkligen bra vänner. Fina vänner. Goda vänner med snygg benstomme. Som jag illa kvickt sa upp all kontakt med. Sen började jag skildra. Det finns en inbyggd ära i självmordet. Missförstå mig rätt. Jag inbillar mig detta eftersom Thomas Bernhard skriver att äran är pervers. Med ett visst referensbibliotek i ryggmärgen är det svårt att inte tänka på Thomas Bernhards priser i tider som dessa. Kathy Acker var för en nedbrytning av kroppen när det kom till träning. Hon ”lyfte skrot” stundtals besatt. Hennes metod var att systematiskt förstöra kroppen så att den tvingas bygga upp sig själv igen, starkare. Hon visste att kroppen behövde krossas för att kunna resa sig. Dödas lite. Det handlade om upprepning. Tappa bort sig själv som en aktiv handling bland repetitioner. I matematik. Ett hypnotiserat subjekt i dödkött som fortsätter när räkningen gått förlorad. Man kan tycka att hon enligt samma rationella doktrin borde varit för den skenbart kontrollerade nedbrytningen av kroppen, eller förgiftningen, i medicinskt syfte. Jag talar om cellgift. Det var hon inte. Hon ville inte utnyttja samma princip för att överleva. Att göra kroppen starkare, okej, men att överleva… nej, Kathy Acker ville hellre få i uppdrag av självutnämnda helare att hitta ett specifikt barndomstrauma, en orsak till cancern, ”då skulle den försvinna” – vilket den gjorde. Vilket den inte gjorde. Men hon trodde det. Att den gjorde det. Personligen gillade jag cellgift när jag fick det insprutat i kroppen. Indroppat. I ryggmärgen och bröstet. Mest på grund av hela gift-grejen. Illamåendet. Viktraset, min spegelbild. Inte så mycket på grund av det injicerade hoppet. Det var mer av en positiv bieffekt. Men jag gillade verkligen giftet på ett konceptuellt plan. Rent konceptuellt. Smutsigt.Kathy Acker var inte konsekvent och det gillar jag. Jag är inte konsekvent och det gillar jag, ibland. En annan tanke är att Thomas Bernhard hade haft lika lite att säga om Svenska Akademin kris som om Aviciis död. Lika lite kan betyda ganska mycket. Förlåt, det är ryggmärgens referensbibliotek som läcker sin giftiga spekulation.Jag har beskrivit cancer som en blomma i en dikt. Det är jag stolt över. Den stringenta döden slår ut det mesta.I en annan värld hade självmordsskogen varit en skog för självmord och löpning och det hade varit lika sorgligt men lika sant. Youtubern Logan Paul hade kanske sprungit utan att filma. Han hade kanske sprungit mot sin död. Vilken monumental respekt. Jag läser att han ska sluta posta videor på daglig basis. Den japanska poeten Hiromi Itō har skrivit en dikt som heter ”Killing Kanoko”, i engelsk översättning. Kanoko är Hiromi Itōs dotter. Det är research. Jag har beskrivit cancer som en blomma i en dikt. Det är jag stolt över. Den stringenta döden slår ut det mesta. I dagsläget: allt. Blomman som slår ut i alla som finns, när alla är borta. Du kollar på en dokumentär om ”självmordsskogen”. På andra sidan sängen. Det är långt bort. Sängen delas av en spricka. Vi var med om en liten jordbävning igår. Hela lägenhetskomplexet skakade.Jag tänker på en utslagen blomma, helt utslagen. En avslagen blomma, helt avslagen. Som cancerogen lightläsk. När jag varit nära döden har jag bara kunnat skämta. Jag har bara kunnat skämta om mig själv.Elis Monteverde Burrau, författare

Entrevista de Pablo Wende al senador Agustín Monteverde a propósito de la salida de Adorni y la actualidad económica.

Hai mai visitato Roma? Se sì, probabilmente hai visto il Colosseo, Fontana di Trevi, Piazza di Spagna... Luoghi meravigliosi, certamente. Ma ti sei mai chiesto: come vivono davvero i romani? Dove abitano? Cosa fanno la sera? Quali problemi affrontano ogni giorno? Scopriamo insieme la Roma vera, quella che i turisti di solito non vedono. ROMA Autentica: Scopri Dove Abitano e Come Vivono i Veri Romani Roma Nord e Roma Sud: Due Mondi Diversi Come tutte le grandi città, anche Roma ha diverse "anime". La divisione principale che fanno i romani è tra Roma Nord e Roma Sud. Ma cosa significa esattamente? Roma Nord: l'Eleganza dei Parioli Roma Nord è considerata la parte più elegante della città, quella dove vivono le persone più ricche, più "benestanti" come si dice in italiano. Il quartiere simbolo di questa zona si chiama Parioli, e da questo nome è nata un'espressione molto usata a Roma: "pariolino". Se qualcuno ti dice che sei un pariolino, significa che ti vesti in modo molto elegante, curato, probabilmente con vestiti di marca. È uno stereotipo, certamente, ma i romani lo usano molto spesso. Roma Sud: l'Anima Popolare Roma Sud, invece, è tutta un'altra storia. Qui l'atmosfera è più popolare, più rilassata, più "di strada". Le persone si vestono in modo più casual e lo stile è completamente diverso. Chi segue questo stile viene chiamato "boro" o "coatto". Anche questa è un'etichetta, ovviamente, e non sempre è usata in senso positivo. Tuttavia, è importante non generalizzare. Come si dice in italiano, "non bisogna fare di tutta l'erba un fascio". Questa espressione significa che non si possono mettere tutti nello stesso gruppo. Non tutti quelli che vivono a Roma Nord sono pariolini eleganti, e non tutti quelli che vivono a Roma Sud sono coatti. La realtà è sempre più complessa degli stereotipi. Dove Vivono Davvero i Romani? Ecco una cosa che sorprende molti turisti: i romani non vivono a Trastevere. E neanche vicino al Colosseo o a Piazza Navona. Devi sapere che Roma è una città enorme. Ha 35 quartieri e circa 150 zone diverse. La popolazione? Quasi 3 milioni di persone. E la maggior parte di queste persone vive nelle zone periferiche, cioè lontano dal centro storico. Il motivo è semplice: il centro è bellissimo, certo, ma è anche carissimo. Affittare un appartamento vicino al Pantheon costa tantissimo. E poi il centro è sempre pieno di turisti, il che può essere stancante per chi ci vive. Quindi i romani preferiscono abitare in quartieri come Centocelle, Tuscolano, Monteverde, Ostia, Primavalle o Tor Bella Monaca. Probabilmente non hai mai sentito questi nomi. Ecco, questa è la Roma vera, quella dove la gente vive, lavora, fa la spesa, porta i bambini a scuola. I Problemi di Tutti i Giorni Roma è bella, questo è innegabile. Ma vivere a Roma non è sempre facile. Ci sono alcuni problemi che i romani affrontano ogni giorno. Il Traffico Il primo grande problema è il traffico. Roma è nota per il traffico intenso. Spostarsi in macchina può essere un vero incubo, soprattutto nelle ore di punta, cioè la mattina quando tutti vanno a lavorare e la sera quando tutti tornano a casa. Molti romani passano più di un'ora al giorno bloccati nel traffico. Un'ora per andare al lavoro, un'ora per tornare. Ogni giorno. Le Buche E poi ci sono le buche. Se noleggi una macchina quando visiti la città, fai molta attenzione: le strade romane sono piene di buche. E alcune sono così grandi che i romani le chiamano "voragini", cioè buchi enormi dove potresti quasi cadere dentro con tutta la macchina. La cosa interessante è che i romani ormai affrontano il problema con ironia. Su Internet si trovano tantissimi meme su questo argomento. Qualcuno ha persino creato immagini con l'intelligenza artificiale dove le buche diventano piscine. L'ironia è l'arma preferita dei romani. I Trasporti Pubblici Un altro problema sono i trasporti pubblici. La metropolitana di Roma ha solo 3 linee: la A, la B e la C. Sono poche per una città così grande. Per fare un confronto, Milano ne ha 5, Londra ne ha 11, Parigi ne ha 16. Gli autobus esistono, certo, ma spesso sono in ritardo o troppo pieni. Tuttavia, negli ultimi anni, soprattutto con il Giubileo del 2025, la situazione sta migliorando. Il Problema dei Rifiuti Infine c'è il problema dei rifiuti. A volte i cassonetti della spazzatura sono così pieni che i rifiuti restano per strada per giorni. D'estate, con il caldo, la situazione diventa ancora peggiore. È un problema serio che le amministrazioni stanno cercando di risolvere, ma non è facile gestire i rifiuti di 3 milioni di persone. Perché non ci Sono Grattacieli a Roma? Una cosa che molti turisti notano è che a Roma non ci sono grattacieli. Almeno non nel centro storico. Come mai? Il motivo è molto semplice: costruire edifici molto alti rovinerebbe il panorama storico della città. Roma ha monumenti di 2000 anni. Se costruissero un grattacielo moderno vicino al Colosseo, sarebbe inappropriato. Il punto più alto del centro storico è la cupola della Basilica di San Pietro, che raggiunge 136 metri. E le regole urbanistiche dicono che nessun edificio può essere più alto di così nel centro. Se vuoi vedere Roma dall'alto, puoi andare in due posti bellissimi: il Gianicolo e il Giardino degli Aranci. Sono due punti panoramici meravigliosi e molto romantici. Da lì puoi vedere tutta la città. I grattacieli a Roma esistono, ma solo nella zona dell'EUR. È un quartiere molto moderno, abbastanza lontano dal centro, pieno di uffici e palazzi alti. Il grattacielo più alto si chiama Eurosky e raggiunge 155 metri. Ma la maggior parte dei turisti non va mai a vederlo. Quanto Costa Vivere a Roma? Se stai pensando di trasferirti a Roma, questa parte ti interesserà molto. Gli Affitti Il costo cambia tantissimo a seconda della zona. Se vuoi vivere nel centro storico, preparati a spendere molto: un piccolo appartamento può costare anche 1.500 o 2.000 euro al mese. Per questo motivo, la maggior parte delle persone vive nelle zone periferiche, dove si può trovare qualcosa di decente a partire da 700-900 euro. Molti studenti e giovani lavoratori scelgono di condividere l'appartamento con altre persone per dividere le spese. Mangiare Fuori Anche qui dipende molto da dove vai. Un caffè al bancone costa circa 1 euro o 1 euro e 20. Ma attenzione: se ti siedi al tavolo in una zona turistica, lo stesso caffè può arrivare a costare 3 o 4 euro. Una pizza margherita costa circa 7-10 euro. Una cena completa in una trattoria tradizionale costa tra i 20 e i 35 euro a persona. CosaPrezzo IndicativoCaffè al bancone1,00 - 1,20 €Caffè al tavolo (zona turistica)3,00 - 4,00 €Pizza margherita7,00 - 10,00 €Cena completa in trattoria20,00 - 35,00 €Affitto centro storico1.500 - 2.000 €/meseAffitto periferia700 - 900 €/mese Un consiglio da insider: allontanati dalle zone turistiche. Appena ti allontani dal centro, i prezzi scendono molto e il cibo diventa anche più buono e autentico. E se vedi un bar o un ristorante pieno di romani, entra lì senza pensarci due volte. I romani sanno dove si mangia bene e si spende poco. Le Abitudini dei Romani I romani hanno alcune abitudini che potrebbero sorprenderti. La Pausa Pranzo Una cosa che stupisce molto gli stranieri è la pausa pranzo. Se vieni a Roma e alle 14:00 trovi un negozio chiuso, non preoccuparti: è normale. Molti negozi e attività chiudono dalle 13:00 alle 15:30 o anche alle 16:00. I romani prendono il pranzo con calma, e molti tornano a casa per mangiare con la famiglia. Il Rituale del Caffè Il caffè merita un discorso a parte. Dimentica l'idea di sederti con il computer a sorseggiare un cappuccino per un'ora come si fa da Starbucks. A Roma il caffè si beve al bancone, in piedi, in massimo due minuti. Entri nel bar, ordini, bevi, paghi, esci. È un rituale velocissimo ma sacro. Certo, puoi anche sederti al tavolo, nessuno ti dirà niente. Ma pagherai di più e i romani ti guarderanno un po' straniti. L'Aperitivo Un'altra abitudine molto italiana, e molto romana, è l'aperitivo. Verso le 18:00 o le 19:00, i romani escono a prendere un drink con gli amici. Di solito uno spritz, un Negroni o un Campari, accompagnato da stuzzichini, cioè piccole cose da mangiare come olive, patatine, piccoli panini. È un momento sociale importante, un modo per rilassarsi dopo il lavoro e chiacchierare con gli amici. La Cena Tardi e la Passeggiata Dimenticati di cenare alle 18:00 come si fa in altri paesi. I romani cenano tardi, molto tardi. Le 20:30 sono considerate presto. Molte persone cenano alle 21:00 o anche più tardi. I ristoranti spesso aprono per cena solo dalle 19:30, e prima di quell'ora li troverai chiusi. Dopo cena, soprattutto d'estate, c'è un'altra tradizione molto italiana: la passeggiata. I romani amano camminare per le strade dopo aver mangiato, magari mangiando un gelato. È un modo per digerire, socializzare, godersi la città quando fa più fresco. Se visiti Roma d'estate, vedrai le strade piene di gente che passeggia anche alle 23:00. Dove Escono i Romani la Sera? I turisti vanno tutti a Trastevere per la vita notturna. Ma i romani? Preferiscono altri posti. San Lorenzo San Lorenzo è il quartiere universitario. È pieno di studenti, quindi trovi locali economici, birrerie, pizzerie a buon prezzo. L'atmosfera è giovane, alternativa e molto vivace. Se sei uno studente, questo è il posto ideale per te. Pigneto Pigneto è un quartiere che è diventato molto di moda negli ultimi anni. È il posto preferito dai romani più "hipster", cioè quelli a cui piacciono le cose alternative e vintage. Qui trovi murales colorati sui muri, locali con arredamento retrò e cocktail bar molto curati. Testaccio Testaccio è un quartiere storico e popolare, molto amato dai romani....

Quali sono le qualità di un ottimo romanzo noir? E che differenza c'è tra noir e giallo? Quando si scrive di cronaca nera fino a che punto si può spingere il giornalista? Quando si racconta un delitto si deve seguire solo la bussola della verità o anche l'etica conta? E più in generale, cosa porta un autore a scrivere… di qualunque cosa? Queste sono solo alcune delle domande che ci poniamo in questa nuova puntata di “Alice”, dedicata all'intersezione tra detective story e scrittura. Il primo ospite del giorno è François Morlupi, un autore di romanzi noir di successo, due volte vincitore del premio Scerbanenco. Morlupi, creatore della serie noir dei Cinque di Monteverde, ha appena pubblicato per Feltrinelli il primo volume di una nuova saga, Il cielo degli invisibili.Si parlerà poi di giornalismo d'inchiesta e cronaca nera con Enzo D'Antonio, traduttore di Il giornalista e l'assassino di Janet Malcolm. Il reportage, che secondo Emmanuel Carrère dovrebbe essere inserito nei manuali di scrittura, è stato pubblicato pochi giorni fa per la prima volta in italiano da Adelphi. Infine, il consiglio di lettura. Questo mese il critico Roberto Galaverni ci propone il Dizionario del grafomane (Sellerio) di Antonio Castronuovo. Si tratta di un volume enciclopedico che riunisce voci su qualsiasi cosa sia legata alla letteratura, da “Baker Street” a “Falsario”.

Imagine a 6'2–6'3 power athlete who can dominate the paint, handle business on the perimeter, then turn around and pitch pure gas on a softball field. That's not a recruiting bio — that's Missy Odom.Missy is a Top-40 national prospect (Class of 2026) out of Monteverde Academy, committed to Florida State to play both basketball and softball. That automatically puts her in rare air.Call it what it is: unicorn status.Below, we break it down SLT-style — where it started, what separates her, the mindset behind leaving Alabama for the toughest prep environment in the country, and what's next for one of the most complete athletes in America.Missy fell in love with the game early — age 4 or 5 — running backyard games with her brothers.Not one brother who “let her play.”Five brothers.She rattled them off like a starting lineup: AJ, Bubba, Jojo, Memphis, Hosman.That environment matters. When you grow up battling brothers every day, toughness isn't taught — it's inherited. Missy even admitted the one who got after her the most was Bubba… and she didn't lose much.That's where the edge starts.Missy used one word coaches love — versatile — but she meant it the right way.She can:Score on all three levelsPlay inside or outDefend every positionRebound at a high levelRun the floorBring energyDo the dirty work (charges, loose balls, winning plays)That last part separates “talented” from problem.Quick BreakdownSchool: Monteverde AcademyClass: 2026Build: 6'2–6'3, powerful, built to lastBasketball Identity: Versatile scorer + elite motorSoftball Identity: High-level pitcher (pure gas)Superpower: Impacts winning without needing the ball every possessionLeaving Alabama wasn't a vibe change — it was a growth decision.Missy said it straight: there was a stretch where she wasn't playing the way she wanted. Balancing softball heavily meant basketball training slipped, and she felt herself falling behind.That's when her mom delivered the truth:“You want to be great? Go somewhere that's going to push you every day.”Monteverde is the gauntlet.You either shrink — or level up.Missy leveled up.Daily gym runs with:The #1 player in the Class of 2026Top-ranked 2025 talentThat's not ego fuel — that's reality testing.Missy said things clicked around January of last year when she realized:“I belong here. I can play with anybody.”Quiet confidence. Business-like. Dangerous.This already looks like Tallahassee:6:45 AM wake-up7:15 AM leave dorms7:45 – 3:10 classes (only four)Weights built into the school day3:45 – 6:00 practiceDinner + dorm life + bondingTuesdays & Thursdays? 6 AM workouts — up at 5:30.That's not high school structure.That's college preparation.One word kept showing up: consistency.Missy chose Florida State because the staff:Showed real loveStayed consistentRecruited her, not just the stat lineThen came the separator.After her visit, they came to watch her pitch.That matters.Yes — Missy confirmed FSU will allow her to play both basketball and softball.Basketball wraps → softball ramps (February through June).Elite stamina. Elite discipline.Missy's real number is 33 — but it's retired at Florida State.Why 33?Her mom wore it playing softball. Missy carried it in both sports.She's wearing 32 now, but the identity stays the same:family, legacy, purpose.Top 5 artists:Rod Wave, Drake, NBA YoungBoy, Jhene Aiko, Lil BabySuperhero: Batman (no explanation needed)Theme song: “Invisible Scars” (yes, she quoted it)What basketball taught her:Friendships, memories, toughness — and how the game protects her mental health whether it's a great night or a rough one.That's maturity.No fancy answers. Just real.If you're watching the next wave of women's hoops — and the next era of two-sport dominance — Missy Odom is the name.

This week, we sit down with Bailey Sullivan, executive chef of Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio and a Top Chef: Destination Canada finalist, who seemed almost pre-programmed for a life in restaurants: raised at Goldyburgers, her family's Forest Park burger joint, and glued to Food Network and Top Chef as a teen. She walks us through a career that runs from early gigs at Noodles & Company and Black Dog Gelato to a formative internship at two-Michelin-starred Acadia, ramen battles at Yusho Logan Square, a trial by fire at Parachute, and an eight-plus-year climb through every rung of Monteverde's kitchen ladder before taking the top job. Along the way, we talk: what Top Chef doesn't show you, no-heroes kitchen culture, fugazi tiramisu, and so much more.

It's one of the most asked questions about the faith: “Do Quakers read the Bible?”. The answer is complicated, as this single book has been used as both a brutal weapon and a profound source of liberation. This episode dives into that paradox, examining a faith that places a living Spirit above the written word. This distinction gives people permission to wrestle with the text, to question its authority, and even to find faith in walking away.Sarah Ruden: https://sarahruden.com/Ashley Wilcox: https://www.womenslectionary.com/Peterson Toscano: https://www.petersontoscano.com/about-peterson-----------Monteverde, Costa Rica -- January 15-20, 2026A Quaker-Led, Interfaith Spiritual RetreatAmid the mist and quiet beauty of a mountaintop cloud forest, Earth & Ember invites spiritual seekers and contemplatives to explore how our lives can be rooted in compassion and peace--while still engaging with a world marked by injustice, greed, and cruelty.

Kate Adie presents stories from Ukraine, Australia, France, Nigeria and Costa Rica.There was international outrage after the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kyiv was hit by a missile this week, during a barrage of Russian attacks on cities across Ukraine. James Waterhouse was returning to his base in the capital when news of the strike broke and saw how Ukrainians reacted during the aftermath. The modern Australian state was built by immigration but it's always had strict rules on who was allowed in.
