Brandon and Jesse talk concentrates, edible tolerance, and what happens when you take 250mg of Apple Fritter before watching a movie that definitely is not that funny… until it is. They break down how different consumption methods actually feel in real time, from “behind the eyes” pressure to full-body giggles.But then the conversation shifts.They get into cannabis history, why Napoleon reportedly banned his army from smoking in Egypt, and how weed doesn't exactly inspire battlefield aggression. From there, it turns into a bigger conversation about the scientific method, celebrity scientists, and why real innovation usually comes from the quiet builders nobody talks about.The back half of the episode moves into something deeper. Handwritten letters. Navy memories. Physical mail. Human connection. The idea of Cannabis School pen pals. Why writing something down might be one of the most honest ways to say what you actually feel.It is classic Sesh energy. Funny, unfiltered, reflective, and unexpectedly thoughtful.In this episode we talk about:• Dabbing vs flower and how concentrates hit differently• Taking 250mg of edibles and what that experience actually feels like• Purple Platinum Jager and Apple Fritter effects• Cannabis in world history and Napoleon's Egypt campaign• Why weed does not exactly make you want to fight• The scientific method and celebrity culture• Handwritten letters and deeper human connection• The idea of Cannabis School pen palsThis episode is less about being right and more about being real. Just two friends, some concentrates, and a conversation that moves from giggles to meaning without forcing it.If you've ever had one of those nights where cannabis opens up something deeper than you expected, this one will feel familiar.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.We keep a running list of tools and brands we personally enjoy and actually use.Find everything in one place here:

Napoleon House has never tried to be anything other than what it is. In this episode of the Retire Southern Podcast, James Lewis sits down with Chris Montero, Executive Chef and General Manager of Napoleon House, to explore what it means to care for one of the French Quarter's most enduring neighborhood institutions. An eighth generation New Orleanian, Montero brings his family's traditions into the kitchen every day. His red beans are made without soaking and built on three kinds of pork fat, cooked the same way his grandmother made them. He favors the classic Pimm's Cup served over ice, light and restrained, just as it has been for generations. His connection to Napoleon House is not theoretical. It is lived. The conversation moves through food, cocktails, history, and the responsibility of stewardship. It is a story about loving a place enough to protect it, about honoring history without freezing it in time, and about the people who make an institution feel like it belongs to everyone who walks through the door. Listen to the full episode and read the complete written feature at retiresouthern.com.
(1:58) Journalist Twan Huys over radio - en televisiemaker Koos Postema (13:18) Oud-politica Sylvana Simons over dominee en burgerrechtenactivist Jesse Jackson (23:53) Schrijver Saskia De Coster over de memoires van overlevende van seksueel misbruik Gisèle Pelicot (57:09) Naomi Kok Luís in gesprek met schrijver Margot Dijkgraaf over Germaine de Staël, de enige vrouw waar Napoleon bang voor was
(01:32) De VS heeft onder Trump een oud doel weer opgepakt: Cuba afknijpen, totdat het communistische regime valt. En nu, doordat Venezuela geen olie meer levert, is de druk op Cuba extreem hoog. Edwin Koopman, Latijns-Amerikakenner en journalist bij Bureau Buitenland, vertelt meer (11:26) Napoleon veroverde Europa met kanonnen. Madame Germaine de Staël bestookte het met ideeën, en dat maakte haar gevaarlijker dan een leger. Wie was deze vrouw, die zo gevaarlijk werd gevonden door de machtigste man op aarde? Margot Dijkgraaf is te gast met haar nieuwe boek (25:50) Hij staat te boek als zeeheld, admiraal en - niet onomstreden- nationaal icoon: Michiel de Ruyter. Zijn huis in Vlissingen wordt nu op internet te koop aangeboden. Gepensioneerd archivaris Ad Tramper bezocht de woning en vertelt meer. (29:57) In Marokko werd hij gezien als culturele grootheid, maar in Nederland is hij vrijwel onbekend gebleven. De Oost-Groningse kunstverzamelaar Bert Flint (1931-2022) vertrok in de jaren ‘50 naar Marrakech. Journalist en documentairemaker Lejo Siepe schreef het boek Een vreemdeling in de Medina en is te gast. (40:02) Op 10 februari 1941 verschijnt Het Parool voor het eerst tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Vijfentachtig jaar later is het een gevestigde krant, maar de vraag waar het ooit om begon blijft urgent, want de vrije pers staat wereldwijd onder druk. We gaan erover in gesprek met een van de schrijvers van het jubileumboek Vrij, onverveerd, journalist en onderzoeker Teun Dominicus. (53:00) Het recht van de sterkste #5: filosoof en journalist Thomas Muntz over Hannah Arendt (01:07:21) Vanwege die vieringen van het Chinees nieuwjaar was het deze week weer veel te zien: de leeuwendans. Een bekend beeld — een rij mensen, gezamenlijk kleurrijk verkleed, die zich als één leeuw voortbewegen. Wat is het verhaal achter deze dans? We vragen het sinoloog en vaste OVT-recensent Fresco Sam-Sin. (01:13:06) OVT Doc: Jeugd versleten Deel 1 Begin februari vond in Marrakech in Marokko de 6e Wereldconferentie over de uitbanning van kinderarbeid plaats. 2025 had het jaar moeten zijn dat er wereldwijd een einde aan kinderarbeid zou komen, maar dat doel is bij lange na niet gehaald. Nog altijd werken er 138 miljoen kinderen, van wie 54 miljoen gevaarlijk of schadelijk werk doen. In Nederland is kinderarbeid wel uitgebannen. Maar wie denkt dat al zo is sinds het ‘Kinderwetje van Van Houten' in 1874, zit ernaast. Nog tot ver in de 20e eeuw werd er in Nederland door kinderen gewerkt. In de tweedelige documentaire ‘Jeugd versleten' horen we de verhalen van mensen die dat zelf hebben meegemaakt. Programmamaker Katinka Baehr maakte dit tweeluik, op basis van interviews uit 1989 uit de OVT-serie ‘Arbeiderslevens'.

Moderner Klassiker aus Italien. Fantasiereich, witzig und melancholisch entfaltet Italo Calvino in seinem Roman aus dem Jahre 1957 einen Raum der Wunder, wie ihn nur die Literatur erfinden kann. Ein abenteuerlicher Fall von Eskapismus und poetischem Protest in Zeiten des gesellschaftlichen Umbruchs. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will: Freitag, 20.02.2026, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 1 (Teil 1) Am 15. Juni 1767 beschliesst der zwölfjährige Baron Cosimo Piovasco di Rondò, das dekadente Milieu seiner aristokratischen Familie zu verlassen, um fortan auf den Bäumen zu leben. Er erhebt sich von der Familientafel, klettert auf eine Steineiche und wird bis zu seinem Tod die Erde nicht mehr betreten. Cosimo baut sich in den Baumkronen eine eigene Welt auf: Er isst und schläft, wächst und entwickelt sich, er lernt und arbeitet, liest und kommuniziert, ohne jemals den Boden zu berühren. Er unternimmt sogar Reisen durchs Land, entlang von Alleen, und nimmt an gesellschaftlichen und politischen Ereignissen teil. Sein Dasein auf den Bäumen wird zum Symbol der Freiheit und des Widerstands gegen Konventionen und Zwänge. Im Laufe seines Lebens begegnet Cosimo vielen Menschen, auch berühmten Persönlichkeiten wie Voltaire und Napoleon. Und er verliebt sich in die geheimnisvolle Viola. Die Hörspielbearbeitung des Schauspielers Wolfgang Stendar (1929–2017), der auch die Hauptrolle spricht, entstand 1968 im Radiostudio Zürich. Es ist ein Fundstück aus dem SRF-Archiv und wurde letztmals 1985 gesendet. ___________________ Mit: Gert Westphal (Erzähler/Biagio), Wolfgang Stendar (Cosimo), Jöns Andersson (Baron), Valerie Steinmann (Baronin), Gisela Zoch (Viola), Eva Wächter (Violas Tante), Guido von Salis (Graf von Estomac), Willy Birgel (Don Federico), Verena Muntwyler (Ursula), Jacques Musso (Voltaire), Alex Freihart (Napoleon), Renate Reger und Karen Meffert (Frauenstimmen) ____________________ Übersetzung: Oswalt von Nostitz – Hörspielbearbeitung: Wolfgang Stendar – Musik: Emil Moser – Regie: Hans Jedlitschka ____________________ Produktion: SRF 1968 ____________________ Gesamtdauer: 93' (Teil 1: 51'; Teil 2: 42')
Can a piece of jewelry save a life? Or guarantee eternity? Napoleon Bonaparte believed this to be the case. His military campaigns around the world had already introduced him to the supernatural power of jewelry... But it was after escaping death a first time that his faith in the power of jewelry was properly set. So much so that he imagined a strange talisman, a lucky charm and symbol of his love, sculpted in the shape of… a scarab beetle!Voice of Jewels, a podcast from L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts supported by Van Cleef & Arpels. Unveiling the stories and secrets behind History's most fascinating jewels.With Inezita Gay-Eckel, Jewelry Historian and Lecturer at L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Written by Martin Quenehen and Aram Kebabdjian, performed by Edoardo Ballerini and produced by Bababam.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Jumat, 20 Februari 2026Bacaan: Dan TUHAN berfirman: "Aku telah memperhatikan dengan sungguh kesengsaraan umat-Ku di tanah Mesir, dan Aku telah mendengar seruan mereka yang disebabkan oleh pengerah-pengerah mereka, ya, Aku mengetahui penderitaan mereka." (Keluaran 3:7) Renungan: Seorang warga Perancis yang bernama Charney telah membuat kecewa Napoleon. Oleh karena itu dia dimasukkan ke dalam penjara. Dia merasa telah ditinggalkan oleh teman-temannya dan dilupakan oleh setiap orang di luar penjara. Dalam kesendirian dan keputusasaannya. Charney mengambil sebuah batu dan menggoreskannya pada dinding selnya dengan tulisan, "Tak seorang pun peduli". Suatu hari sebuah tunas hijau tumbuh menembus lantai penjara di tempat bekas sebuah batu yang telah diambilnya tersebut. Tunas itu menjulur ke arah terang yang masuk melalui jendela kecil di selnya. Setiap hari saat ada kesempatan keluar sel, Charney membawa air untuk menyirami tunas itu. Tunas itu terus bertumbuh dan akhirnya menjadi sebuah tanaman. Beberapa hari kemudian tanaman itu mengeluarkan sebuah kuncup bunga indah berwarna biru. Hari berganti hari, kuncup bunga itu akhirnya mekar dengan sangat indahnya. Di tengah-tengah kesendiriannya, Charney menghayati pertumbuhan tunas itu menjadi sebuah tanaman yang berbunga indah dan kemudian di atas goresan yang pertama, ia menggores dinding itu lagi dengan batu yang sama dengan sebuah tulisan, "Allah peduli". Tulisan itu bukan sekadar tulisan tanpa makna, tetapi Allah benar-benar mempunyai berkat bagi "tahanan itu". Di sel yang lain, seorang tahanan mempunyai anak perempuan yang diizinkan mengunjungi para tahanan. Dia juga menengok ke arah sel di mana Charney ditempatkan. Perempuan ini juga mendengar kasih Charney kepada sebuah tanaman yang tumbuh di selnya. Berita tersebut kemudian disampaikan kepada Ratu Josephine yang terkenal ramah. Ratu berkata, "Seorang yang mengasihi dengan sungguh dan memelihara sebuah bunga tidak akan menjadi seorang yang jahat." Sang Ratu kemudian membujuk Napoleon untuk membebaskan Charney dan Charney pun dibebaskan. Charney membawa bunganya ke rumah dan dengan hati-hati memelihara bunga tersebut. Hal itulah yang mengajarnya untuk percaya kepada Allah dan kepedulianNya terhadap orang lemah. Mungkin saat ini kita sedang mengalami pergumulan yang berat. Kira sedang mengalami kejatuhan dan kita merasa tidak ada orang yang peduli terhadap kita. Ingatlah bahwa Allah peduli kepada kita. Allah peduli akan pergumulan yang kita alami. Allah yang tidak berubah itu, yang telah mempedulikan umat Israel dalam penderitaan mereka di Mesir, Ia juga akan mempedulikan kita. Belajarlah akan kepedulian Allah terhadap alam semesta. Burung pipit dan bunga bakung pun dipedulikan Allah, masakan Allah tidak mempedulikan kita? Jangan berharap pada manusia, tetapi percayalah kepada Allah dan kepedulian-Nya kepada kita, serta nantikan pertolongan dan berkat-Nya. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku jika aku kurang percaya kepada-Mu. Sekarang aku bertambah yakin bahwa Engkau peduli terhadap umat-Mu yang mengalami pergumulan berat, termasuk kepadaku. Amin. (Dod).

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Toronto poet Guy Elston about his debut poetry collection, The Character Actor Convention (Gordon Hill Press/Porcupine's Quill, 2025). A pumpkin writes a letter to his father. A sheep recalls a revolution, and love. Hydrogen pens a tell-all expos of Oxygen. The Stick Insect Orders His Tomb. Napoleon counts waves and cheats at cards. A sunflower seeks answers - why sun? A crow considers children in this cruel, spiky world. And allthe while, character actors gather for the endless convention... Guy Elston's debut poetry collection, The Character Actor Convention, is a curious smorgasbord of personas, new voices and (un)natural perspectives. Through impossible encounters and strange viewpoints an insistent, ever-shifting 'I' questions its relation to reality, and itself. Wist, wit, obsession and irony rise like tides, are forgotten, and start fresh. Authenticity is always just round the corner. The Character Actor Convention is not urgent, timely or topical. It's something else. Guy Elston was born and raised in Oxford, UK. After various jobs, journeys and other lifetimes he surfaced in Toronto in 2020. He has an MA in History from the University of Amsterdam. Since moving to Canada his poetry has been published by The Malahat Review, Canadian Literature, Event, The Literary Review of Canada, Vallum, The Antigonish Review and other journals. His chapbook Automatic Sleep Mode was published by Anstruther Press in 2023. His debut full-length collection, The Character Actor Convention, is forthcoming from The Porcupine's Quill in 2025. Guy lives in Toronto and can be found at poetry events. He's a member of the Meet the Presses collective and is a first reader for Untethered magazine. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Short Suck, we dive into the Haitian Revolution - the only truly successful large-scale slave revolt in human history - where the enslaved people of Saint-Domingue rose up, burned France's “cash machine” to the ground, and then fought France, Spain, and Britain for more than a decade to create Haiti. It's a brutal, twisty, holy shit how do we not already know this story full of battlefield genius, betrayals, and legendary speeches.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

While Napoleon's armies fought brilliant battles across Spain and Portugal, their greatest enemy wasn't always the British or the guerrillas — it was logistics.Supplying tens of thousands of soldiers across rugged mountains, scorched plains, and hostile territory tested the limits of Napoleonic warfare. Food shortages, broken supply lines, and guerrilla ambushes made every march a struggle for survival.In this video, special guest & author Gareth Glover will tell us

“I don't love you an atom; on the contrary, I detest you. You are a good-for-nothing, very ungraceful, very tactless…You never write me; you don't care for your husband,” wrote Napoleon Bonaparte to his wife, Josephine, in 1796. But at the end of the same letter? He wrote, “I hope soon I shall clasp you in my arms and cover you with a million kisses…” That's Napoleon and Joséphine – a constant push and pull, up and down relationship. Before they became the first Emperor and Empress of France, she called him “Puss in Boots” behind his back while he wrote her mushy love letters. Many history buffs believe Joséphine never really loved Napoleon. Others think he was happy to kick her to the curb eventually. And then there's that prevailing story that Napoleon asked Joséphine not to wash for three days…Kel thinks there was more to the story.

Crisis didn't always mean endless catastrophe. In German thought, it once meant a turning point—a judgment that forces choice. We dig into why that word saturated late 19th‑century philosophy and how it connected national unification, scientific ambition, and the search for values that could survive modernity's shocks.We start with the idealists: Kant's “critical” epoch set the mood for Hegel's self‑clarifying history and the historicists' hunt for inner laws of culture. From there, we follow the political tremors—Napoleon to Bismarck, unification to Weimar—to see how crisis moved from battlefield to spirit. Nietzsche then flips the frame. With God declared dead, he treats crisis as the baseline. The “last man” laughs, while creativity becomes obligation. Whether you read eternal return as metaphysics or a test, the question remains: can you affirm life without borrowed certainties?Enter Husserl with a different alarm. The sciences aren't failing; they're succeeding so thoroughly that they forget their ground. His method—the epoché and phenomenological description—recenters evidence in the lifeworld, the shared, embodied world where things show up with sense before theory. That doesn't undercut physics or math; it anchors them. We talk through demarcation debates, the limits of positivism, and how probability and incompleteness humbled simple falsification stories. Along the way we revisit Marx's crises as forks, not fate, and unpack how “krisis” in Greek names decision at its root.If crisis is judgment, not doom, then it asks something of us: to test idols with Nietzsche's courage and to pause with Husserl's discipline before deciding what to affirm. We close with practical stakes—why method matters for public reason, how translation shapes concepts, and where philosophy still helps when hot takes run out.Enjoy the conversation?

Le 7 décembre 2023, Cyril Berger, un entrepreneur de 50 ans a été condamné pour avoir poignardé sa belle-mère à trente reprises, Madame Odile de Moro Giafferri. La victime est née d'Avout d'Auerstaedt. Agée de 75 ans, elle était la descendante en ligne directe d'un compagnon d'arme de Napoléon, Louis Nicolas d'Avout, maréchal d'Empire, duc d'Auerstaedt, prince d'Eckmühl. Le meurtre d'Odile de Moro Giafferri s'est déroulé huit ans plus tôt, en 2015, dans des circonstances particulièrement étonnantes, qui aurait pu permettre à l'assassin de ne pas être suspecté. Voici le récit de cette affaire criminelle, qui a pour décor les beaux quartiers parisiens, les grands appartements bourgeois, et dans laquelle sont impliqués des personnes habituellement peu concernées par la rubrique des faits divers.Crimes • Histoires Vraies est une production Minuit.

James Gillray was one of Georgian Britain's most ruthless satirists, using his prints to mock kings, politicians and generals, turning politics into popular entertainment. From the print shops of London, he reduced figures such as Napoleon to objects of ridicule while capturing the humour and anxieties of an age shaped by revolution and war. Historian Alice Loxton speaks to Rachel Dinning about Gillray's world, the crucial role of his publisher Hannah Humphrey, and why his imagery still underpins modern political cartoons. ----- GO BEYOND THE PODCASTAlice hosts HistoryExtra Academy's The World of the Georgians, which explores Gillray's art and what it reveals about Georgian society.

Day 1,440.Today, as Ukrainians endure temperatures of minus -20 degrees Celsius and Russia marks the end of its so-called “energy ceasefire” with a new mass aerial attack, we ask what is stopping Donald Trump from simply urging Vladimir Putin to spare Ukraine's energy infrastructure for another week. We report on NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's address to Ukraine's parliament, examining what he meant by the “difficult choices” Kyiv may face in pursuit of peace. And later, with the START nuclear treaty due to expire this month, Adélie speaks to two researchers about nuclear signalling – and how to interpret what Moscow and Washington really mean behind their public statements.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Adélie Pojzman-Pontay (Journalist and Producer). @adeliepjz on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

Carthage, Rome, and Imperial DeclineThe final debate explores the historical destruction of Carthage to illuminate the modern American Empire's troubled trajectory and uncertain future. Germanicus advances a provocative thesis: the United States now more closely resembles Carthage—a wealthy, financialized, multicultural mercantile power relying on paid soldiers and foreign contractors—than the cohesive, destiny-driven Republic of Rome whose citizen-soldiers conquered the known world through shared sacrifice. They observe how historical narratives are invariably shaped by victors, noting that figures from Napoleon to modern filmmakers consistently utilize defeated enemies like Carthage or the Nazis to define national identity and justify present ambitions. A striking reversal emerges from their analysis: Russian propaganda now appropriates Roman symbols of martial virtue, disciplined unity, and civilizational mission, while the United Statesappears increasingly as a "flabby empire of financial usury" potentially facing its own Carthago delenda est moment at the hands of more vigorous rivals. The discussion concludes with a somber warning drawn from Byzantium's fall in 1204, when Crusaders who should have been allies instead sacked the great city: a disunited nation lacking shared vision and collective willingness to sacrifice stands vulnerable to sudden, catastrophic collapse, potentially ending the "American Empire" far sooner than its citizens imagine possible.1450 VIRGIL: DIDO WELCOMES AENEAS TO CARTHAGE
