Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: the rare sound of a football crowd chuckling in unison, a definitive list of football's acceptable “things-in-chief”, a deep dive into the nuances of Jude Bellingham's La Liga dissent, some classic-style 96th-minute olé-ing from Argentina, Manchester City midfielders' names in Northumbrian psych-folk, someone actually "whispering it quietly, but" and some supposedly frivolous footballing jargon of the 1970s. Meanwhile, the panel debate the threshold for a crowd chanting "we want [X number of goals]" and respond to a brunch cafe's "come and try us" plea.

He came from a noble Northumbrian family in Britain, and was tonsured a monk in 653 at Lerins in Gaul. In 669 he was made Abbot of the Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul in Canterbury. He traveled to Rome in 671 to be instructed in monastic practice according to the Rule of Saint Benedict (of Nursia). Returning to Northumbria he established two new monasteries, the first to follow St Benedict's Rule in the British Isles. He went to Rome once again in 678-679, this time bringing back the archcantor of St Peter's, who taught the monks of St Benedict's monasteries the chant and liturgical practices used in Rome. Under the holy abbot's guidance, these monasteries became flourishing centers of Christian worship, scholarship and art. The Venerable Bede (May 26) was one of his disciples. Saint Benedict reposed in peace in 689 or 690, having greatly strengthened the Church and the Christian faith in Britain.

During summer time at Alnwick Castle, we love to invite historical musicians to play music of the past for our visitors in the castle grounds. New to Alnwick this year were the duo Pearl in the Egg (a.k.a Karen and Liz), who play melodies from the 11th century Saxon period to the 16th century Elizabethan.We joined them at the end of their final day of performances at the Castle to find out more about them, their instruments, and the kind of music you might hear at a castle like Alnwick - or a nearby tavern. The first part of the episode took place outside in the grounds, so you may hear various background noises. For this part of the podcast, we had an audience of castle visitors, including the Kaye family, who had some questions of their own to ask! You will hear some short excerpts of medieval music too.The second part of the episode happened inside, and also features excerpts of music, including an extended piece with vocals at the conclusion of our conversation.For more musical episodes of the Alnwick Castle Podcast, look in our feed for podcasts about medieval music with Trouvere, Tudor music, and the Northumbrian pipes.

In Episode 1 of our special mini-series on The Gunpowder Plot, we dive into one of England's most infamous conspiracies – and this time, we're peeling back the layers to reveal a surprising twist. Everyone knows the name Guy Fawkes, but few realise the deep connections that tie this explosive plot to Northumberland. Join hosts Paul and Justine as they uncover the hidden story of Thomas Percy, a Northumbrian noble at the center of the plot, and the powerful Percy family's role in a Catholic rebellion against the crown. We'll set the scene in the tense, religiously divided England of 1605 and discover why Northumberland played a crucial part in a plan that could have changed British history forever.

Dr Hilary Cass, now Baroness Cass, led a four year review into children's gender identity services in England. Her final report concluded that children had been let down by a lack of research and "remarkably weak" evidence on medical interventions, and called for gender services for young people to match the standards of other NHS care.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
Generations of college students have probably imagined that his first name was Venerable, and his family name Bede. But Bede–that's B-E-D-E–was his only name. He was a native of Northumbria, in the north of what we now think of as England. Apparently never going abroad, his life was spent within a few miles of his monastery, and probably just a few miles from where he was born. Yet this seemingly narrow and circumscribed life was full of intense intellectual activity. Bede authored dozens of works: teaching texts to be used for young boys entering the monastery, as he had done; biblical commentaries; arithmetical works; sermons and homilies; and lives of Northumbrian saints. Yet when he is remembered by historians, it is for his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, An Ecclesiastical History of the English People. With me to discuss Bede as historian is Rory Naismith, Professor of Early Medieval History and Fellow of Corpus Christi College at the University of Cambridge. This is his third appearance on the podcast; he was last on Historically Thinking in Episode 343 discussing whether we should talk about the Anglo-Saxons. For Further Investigation This is one of our occasional podcasts on important historians. For others, see this one on Polybius, and this on another medieval historian, Princess Anna Komnene The remnants of the monastery of Monkwearmouth-Jarrow The historical site formerly known as "Bede's World": now Jarrow Hall Anglo-Saxon Farm Village and Bede Museum, reopened after a short closure. FYI, in contemporary Britain it's probably true that Jarrow is best known for the "Jarrow Crusade" rather than for Bede A good companion to Bede is, amazingly enough, J. Robert Wright, A Companion to Bede: A Reader's Commentary on The Ecclesiastical History of the English People Rory Naismith also suggests: Bede, Ecclesiastical History of the English People/Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum: "This is available in very many translations, including those of Bertram Colgrave and D. H. Farmer. A scholarly edition, with facing-page Latin and English, is available from Bertram Colgrave and R. A. B. Mynors." J. Campbell, Essays in Anglo-Saxon History (London, 1986), pp. 1–48 G. Hardin Brown, A Companion to Bede (Woodbridge, 2009) P. Hunter-Blair, The World of Bede (Cambridge, 1970) H. Mayr-Harting, The Coming of Christianity to Anglo-Saxon England, 3rd ed. (London, 1991) R. Shaw, The Gregorian Mission to Kent in Bede's Ecclesiastical History: Methodology and Sources (London, 2018) A. Thacker, ‘Bede and History', in The Cambridge Companion to Bede, ed. S.

Northumbria, along the northeastern coast, site of a cultural efflorescence in the 7th and 8th centuries. From here, the Lindisfarne Gospels and Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People, 731 CE, which preserves the first English poem, “Caedmon's Hymn.” Also, an Anglo-Saxon elegiac lyric, “The Wanderer.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-dolzani/support

The Echternach Hopping Procession, on the UNESCO Intangible World Heritage list, celebrates the life of St. Willibrord. On today's show, Lisa is joined by guests from Ireland, the UK and Luxembourg — to discuss the life of St. Willibrord via his links with these three countries. The Echternach Hopping Procession, on the UNESCO Intangible World Heritage list, celebrates the life of St. Willibrord. On today's show, Lisa is joined by guests from Ireland, the UK and Luxembourg — to discuss the life of St. Willibrord via his links with these three countries. Despite the 'high humidity', as Raoul Scholtes put it, there was another exceptional turnout for this year's Sprangpressessioun (or 'Hopping Procession') in Echternach, which pays homage to Saint Willibrord. This Anglo-Saxon Benedictine monk is revered as the founder of Echternach Abbey and every year is honoured for his gift of curing illness. Ambassador Jean McDonald, Ambassador of Ireland to Luxembourg, hosted a delegation from County Carlow, celebrating the links between Saint Willibrord and Carlow. Councillor Andrea Dalton and Dermot Mulligan, Curator of the Carlow Museum, also joined in studio to discuss the deepening re-connections between Luxembourg and Carlow through their shared history with Saint Willibrord. HE Fleur Thomas, British Ambassador to Luxembourg, hosted HE Ambassador Christopher Trott, Britain's Ambassador to the Holy See, for their very first Sprangpressessioun experience. Providing a bit of background into St. Willibrord's ancestry — Ambassador Trott detailed the saint's Northumbrian origins, before his travels brought him to Ireland, the Netherlands and then Luxembourg. Ambassador Trott also talks about his work as a diplomat in the Vatican, and the immense 'intelligence network' the Vatican has globally through priests on the ground, often in places where diplomats cannot visit or live. Patrick Dondelinger, Head of Studies for Intangible Cultural Heritage at the Ministry of Culture of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, talks about the importance of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage label for the Hopping Procession, and what this means for one who experiences the 'rite'. Raoul Scholtes — a member of the procession's organisational committee and Vice-president of the Willibrodusbauveräin (Willibrod building society) organisation responsible for the procession — ends with a call for more volunteers! Help is always welcome, and indeed it would also be valuable to make a couple of positions professional (i.e. paid). Read here for even more details on the history of Luxembourg's Echternach Hopping Procession.

It's the Laidly Worm of Spindleston Heugh... The boys visit Bamburgh, possibly England's most dramatic castle, rising up from the waves on a volcanic dolerite outcrop. And the legends surrounding the ancient Northumbrian settlement are no less dramatic. We're talking phoney ballads, wicked stepmothers, loathsome dragons and the mountain bard Drunken Frasier.

Today we will be talking about the viking raid on Lindisfarne, as well as the history leading up to the raid. Lindisfarne was a small island off of the Northeastern coast of England, which at the time was considered to be part of the kingdom of the Northumbrian king, Oswald. The island became home to Lindisfarne Priory which was founded by St. Aiden at the request of King Oswald, which why the island is now also known as the Holy Island.

The beloved baggy cloth cat Bagpuss is fifty years old in 2024. We celebrate his birthday by visiting Sandra Kerr at her home in the Northumberland village of Warkworth. Sandra co-wrote and arranged the music for the series and provided some of the voices. In her cosy music room she shows us her Bagpuss souvenirs, reflects on the show's enduring appeal and sings one of the songs. Then, on a walk along the River Coquet, Sandra looks back to the folk revival of the 1960s, recalling working as a nanny for Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger in exchange for music lessons. Finally, she's joined by her daughter Nancy Kerr to play traditional Northumbrian dance tunes. A warm, fascinating and entertaining meeting with one of the enduring stars of the folk world. --- We rely entirely on support from our listeners to keep this show on the road.

He came from a noble Northumbrian family in Britain, and was tonsured a monk in 653 at Lerins in Gaul. In 669 he was made Abbot of the Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul in Canterbury. He traveled to Rome in 671 to be instructed in monastic practice according to the Rule of Saint Benedict (of Nursia). Returning to Northumbria he established two new monasteries, the first to follow St Benedict's Rule in the British Isles. He went to Rome once again in 678-679, this time bringing back the archcantor of St Peter's, who taught the monks of St Benedict's monasteries the chant and liturgical practices used in Rome. Under the holy abbot's guidance, these monasteries became flourishing centers of Christian worship, scholarship and art. The Venerable Bede (May 26) was one of his disciples. Saint Benedict reposed in peace in 689 or 690, having greatly strengthened the Church and the Christian faith in Britain.

Kathryn Tickell and The Darkening's new album, Cloud Horizons, fuses synthesizers with a bone flute, a sistrum – very old Egyptian instrument - and lyrics based on an inscription in Latin carved on a stone in Northumberland nearly 2 millennia ago. Kathryn talks to Samira about this ancient Northumbrian futurism and plays her smallpipes, live. We remember the film director Terrence Davis, perhaps best known for the film Distant Voices, who has died aged 77. Samira spoke to him for Front Row last year, about his Netflix drama Benediction, which followed the life of the war poet Siegfried Sassoon. Samira talks to Jhumpa Lahiri, the Pulitzer Prize winning novelist, essayist and editor. Her latest offering Roman Stories marks a return to shorter fiction, presenting snapshots of a city and its unnamed residents in flux. Today the Heritage Fund announces nine ‘Heritage Places' across the UK- the first of twenty to receive a share of £200 million in National Lottery funding over the next 10 years to support local heritage. We hear from Eilish McGuinness, Heritage Fund Chief Executive about how the money will be spent and from Eirwen Hopkins, founder of the heritage group Rich History in Neath Port Talbot, one of the nine places to receive the cash injection.

British folk musicians Kathryn Tickell, Laura Cannell, Amy Thatcher and Ruth Lyon discuss their musical and personal identities, the music they made when they were younger, and whether or not place affects the music they create. Kathryn Tickell is from the North Tyne Valley of Northumberland and comes from a musical family of pipers, singers, fiddlers and accordion players. She took up the Northumbrian small pipes at the age of nine, and began learning tunes from old shepherd friends and family. Her work has evolved to traverse jazz, and music from around the world, to large-scale orchestral works. She has released 15 of her own albums to date, and has recorded and performed with Evelyn Glennie, the London Sinfonietta, Sting, and many others. In 2015 she was awarded an OBE for services to folk music. Laura Cannell is a composer and violinist whose music straddles the worlds of experimental, folk, chamber and medieval music. She came to prominence with her debut album, Quick Sparrows over the Black Earth, and is known for her compositions that draw on the emotional influences of landscapes, and explore the spaces between ancient and experimental music. She's also the founder of independent record label Brawl Records, and is curator of the Modern Ritual performance series. Amy Thatcher is one of the UK's leading folk accordionists, who's based in the North East of England. Her first album, Paper Bird, was recorded when she was just 16 years old, and she released her first album proper, Solo, in 2019. She's worked with the likes of the Royal Northern Sinfonia and Sting. Ruth Lyon is a folk and chamber-pop artist who has established herself as a key member of the music scene in Newcastle, UK. She grew up in the countryside of the North York Moors, inheriting a love of the outdoors as well as a sense of melancholy from the landscape, something that is instilled in the music she creates. Her most recent EP, Direct Debit to Vogue, showcases her soulful vocals and her witty, raw lyricism, expressing the power in fragility and the beauty in imperfection.
In a break from your usual programming, Kit and his pal Will Rose are on location! In Part 2 of our Northumbrian odyssey, we pick up where we left off and Tom Cadwallender shows us around his local patch. Then we head into the hills to meet up with secretary of the Rare Breeding Birds Panel, Mark Eaton and hopefully a plethora of red-listed bird species. May contain a man casually chucking a baby bird!
Church bells appear in a range of ways within folklore. Sometimes they continue to ring far beneath the waves in a church under the sea. Or perhaps their peeling in the darkness guided a lost traveller back to the path and away from danger. In some tales, they're stolen by the Devil, or by mermaids. Other times, they're stolen by people. That's the case in Northumbrian folklore, in which the Brinkburn Bells now ring in Durham Cathedral. That lies some 37 miles to the south of the original priory. Or do they? As with any legends, other versions exist that place the lost church bells in the nearby river Coquet. Perhaps the water carries the ringing of bells as it winds its way through Northumberland. Either way, several tales of the Brinkburn Bells resound through local folklore. So let's take a trip to the quiet spot in Northumberland and see what we can find in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

Tales of fairies exist all over the world, and there are hundreds to choose from right here in the British Isles. Yet they often have a particular 'flavour' or motif that lets you group them together. One of the common motifs of folk tales in the northeast of England is that of dancing fairies. It seems the fairies in these parts loved a good feast, or a sing-song after dark. Many of the stories are benign, with fairies simply enjoying a good knees-up and largely leaving human witnesses alone. Others see the fairies try to invite humans to join them - many of whom are never seen again. We'll explore some tales of Northumbrian fairies, including hunters that disappear into Fairyland, fairy hills, and a milkmaid with the power to see fairies in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

On this episode of Spirit of Leadership with Megan Chaskey, we dive into the interconnectedness through the worlds of soil and spirit and the magic that can be found in these connections between people, plants and place. Our guest, Scott Chaskey, farmer/poet, speaker and author, discusses his latest book, Soil and Spirit, based on his travels and encounters inspired by his exploration of the unseen below ground and in the spirit of perception and ways of perceiving. We also hear about the origins of the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) movement and how it gained traction in China. The author shares how poetry and mentors have influenced his life and leadership roles. Scott Chaskey is a lifelong writer who has built the spirit of community and tilled the soil at Quail Hill Farm for 30 years for the Peconic Land Trust. With a desire to have more time for writing, he decided to “graduate” from the farm and focus on his passion. This led to the creation of Soil and Spirit, a series of interconnected essays, inspired by an epigraph from John Hay that appeared in his previous book, Seedtime: "To what useful end could I use my eyes without acknowledging that they are only one of the earth's inexhaustible ways of seeing?" Join us for this episode woven with hope, magical connections and the importance of caring for the community. UPCOMING READINGS BY SCOTT CHASKEY FROM HIS BOOK SOIL & SPRIT: Scrawl Books, Reston, VA, Wednesday May 24, 7pm Flying Cloud Bookstore, Easton, MD., Friday May 26, 5pm TRANSCRIPT Megan Chaskey [00:00:55]: Welcome to this episode of Spirit of Leadership, and I am so happy to be speaking with you, Scott, and celebrating the publication of your new book, Soil and Spirit, and I look forward to your sharing with our audience some of the things that led up to your writing this book and in the process of writing this book the aspects that relate to leadership and your leadership in the CSA movement and the influences of those who've inspired you in the writing of this book. Scott Chaskey [00:01:48]: Thank you. I'm excited about talking about it. Megan Chaskey [00:01:52]: So tell us a little bit more about the conception of the book and how it evolved as you were writing it. Scott Chaskey [00:02:03]: Yeah, so I've always been writing. It's a lifelong affair for me, but I wanted to have more time to write. And so the timing just seemed to be right to graduate (your words) from Quail Hill Farm, where I pursued community through soil, tilling the soil, and through building community through the members of the farm for 30 years for the Peconic Land Trust. But I wanted to have more time to write. So that led to this book. Actually, the seeds of it came from the book that I wrote before, which was called Seed time. And there was a particular epigraph that I used in the end of that book and feel that that was the beginning of this book. So Seed time ended with this epigraph from the wonderful writer John Hay. "To what useful end could I use my eyes without acknowledging that they are only one of the earth's inexhaustible ways of seeing?" And so that was really the end of Seed time, but the beginning of Soil and Spirit. And I guess I like S's because the titles all have S's. But I conceived of the book quite differently because it's really a series of interconnected essays and I planned on traveling quite a bit. Various chapters were going to be built on my travels, but along came COVID and so there was no more traveling. So the book turns out to be quite different than the way I'd planned it and the proposal that I submitted originally to Milkweed, the publisher. But maybe it's a better book because of that. Megan Chaskey [00:03:56]: In what ways would you say that? Scott Chaskey [00:03:59]: I was interviewed not long ago. Someone said it was a journey inward and it had to be because I wasn't traveling outward. But at the same time, instead of actual traveling, I went back to travels that I had taken many, many years ago. And it was fascinating to realize that, because I never thought I would write about some of these subjects that turn up in this book in a way that is not separate at all from the original conception of the book, but is totally interwoven. So that actually I've now given a few readings from the books, and I feel it's so interconnected. So I sort of joked when I gave a reading and said that, "well, I really have to read you the whole book." But of course that would take 3 or 4 hours. That's not going to happen. Megan Chaskey [00:04:54]: Well, it is going to happen because we're going to make an audio version. Everyone will enjoy hearing the full book. Beautiful voice. Scott Chaskey [00:05:07]: Okay. It will happen. Megan Chaskey [00:05:09]: Yes, it will happen. So what's interesting is that I had that sense in reading one of your chapters that it was very important to actually go back and read it again right away because of how everything is interconnected. And you'll say a phrase or quote a phrase from somewhere and then take us on a whole series of connections that bring us back to that phrase, that brings more depth of meaning to it by having made that little internal journey in that one chapter. So the same thing is going on in the book. And do you feel that there are certain stories that carry that thread through the book? Scott Chaskey [00:06:09]: Yeah, I'm actually really glad that you mentioned just the word "story", because at the beginning of writing this book, I wrote notes to myself over and over again that what I was doing was telling stories. And I suppose a writer does that in one way or another, but more directly, it can be heard more directly by the reader. And so therefore, I really focused on a narrative within each chapter and the chapter that you're talking about, which has to do with a trip across Ireland, which I actually took 50 years ago, but which has been with me for 50 years. And it has to do with riding an old bicycle across Ireland and discovering a branch of white heather among all the purple heather, placing that on my bicycle. And that's a symbol of good fortune and luck in Irish lore. And it was that for me because it led me to a village called Kilkenny, where Seamus Heaney was appearing at an arts festival. And I had no idea that I would be meeting Seamus Heaney, despite the fact that we exchanged letters. And there's a whole story, a longer story to that. But that's part of the interconnection that you're talking about, it's very strong in that particular chapter because it was magical traveling across Ireland. Megan Chaskey [00:07:41]: Yes. And the magical part of that is because it has to do with a plant, it has to do with that white heather. And then you bring that attention to plants, their names, their characteristics to that particular moment. And then also tell us the story about what you found in the attic. Scott Chaskey [00:08:10]: What I found in the attic? Megan Chaskey [00:08:12]: While you were writing that - the letter. Scott Chaskey [00:08:15]: Was it the letter from Seamus Heaney? Megan Chaskey [00:08:18]: Yes. Scott Chaskey [00:08:19]: Yeah. Otherwise, probably that chapter would not exist. So I wrote a letter at the urging of a teacher, Robert Morgan, a wonderful poet, who, when he read my poems, he was a professor at Cornell, and he said, "Have you read Seamus Heaney?" And this was before many people had heard of Seamus Heaney, long before he won the Nobel Prize for Literature, which I'm so happy that he won. So well deserved. So I wrote him a letter, and believe it or not, that letter still existed. And I had no idea. I mean, having traveled back and forth across the ocean a number of times and lived in England for ten years, and somehow, in a box, in a random box, this letter that Seamus Heaney wrote back to me in let's call it 1976 still existed in his red pen, and he was teaching at Berkeley at the time. And he wrote back, and the origin of the letter really was because we had come upon the same words, we had written the same line. And I wrote to him in amazement as a young poet, and he wrote back, saying how he loved the language of the poem, which I'm still up in a cloud about. Megan Chaskey [00:09:42]: "Both our weights." Scott Chaskey [00:09:44]: Yeah, "in both our weights", yes. Megan Chaskey [00:09:48]: Beautiful line. So that was amazing, too, that you wrote him that letter and then sent it to his address in Ireland. Scott Chaskey [00:10:02]: In Ireland, teaching in California. He sent the letter to me in my dwelling in Massachusetts, but meanwhile, I had enrolled in a program in Ireland, and the letter was forwarded to me in Ireland while he was in California. Yeah, it was an amazing story. Megan Chaskey [00:10:21]: Amazing. Scott Chaskey [00:10:22]: And it continued, and I suppose that's why I had to write about it, because of actually meeting him there, in Kilkenny in this Art s Week. Yeah, it was an amazing, magical happening. Megan Chaskey [00:10:35]: And then you found that letter in the attic while you were writing the book. Scott Chaskey [00:10:39]: Right. Megan Chaskey [00:10:40]: So there's definitely a lot of magic, that story. Scott Chaskey [00:10:45]: Yeah, well, that's the spirit, I guess. So the book is called Soil and Spirit, and there's the spirit part of it. The soil is obviously what I've sifted through my hands and what I've used with shovel and fork and by tractor with tiller and all that for 40 years. So the soil is very obvious. The spirit is unseen, as it should be. Megan Chaskey [00:11:11]: And in relation to the spirit of leadership, how do you feel about this connection with Seamus Heaney as a poet and that connection with the land? Scott Chaskey [00:11:31]: So, actually, the first poem in Seamus Heaney's first book is called Digging. So there you go. There you've got it. He grew up in a farm, and there you've got that connection. But there are so many other connections in the book, because I go back and speak about the great Northumbrian poet Basil Bunting, who was my teacher at the University in Binghamton. And I never guessed that I'd be able to actually fit a chapter about Bunting into a book, but it fit into this book. So on the spirit of leadership, these were the influences on my life, the very foundational influences on my life, these very strong friendships and mentorships that led to, that influenced me being in a role of a leader later. And I didn't intend to write about this specifically, but it's there. It's in the book. Megan Chaskey [00:12:31]: Yeah. Beautiful. And also in each of the stories, because it's about your travels, you also are relating them to people who in those places are leaders, innovative leaders and visionaries, for example, in the chapter about China. Scott Chaskey [00:12:56]: Right. Yeah. Each one is a story in itself. But that trip to China was fantastic. And that all came about eventually because of this wonderful woman, Shi-yan, who actually started the Community Supported Agriculture movement in China, coming to work on a CSA farm in the States and then realizing, she said, "why don't we have this in China?" So she did something about it, she went back, started, and by the time that I reached China for this international gathering of CSA farmers and advocates from all over the globe, from 40 different countries, all practicing Community Supported Agriculture, there were now 500 CSAs in China five years after she brought the idea back from this country. Quite phenomenal, because the idea of CSA, well, there's a seed of it in Japan that started in the early sevent ies, and then there was a seed of this community movement in Switzerland in the early eight ies, and that was brought to the United States and now brought to China. Amazing story. And so I had to write about something to do with that. And so there's the chapter in China. Megan Chaskey [00:14:22]: Right. And so inspiring her story. And she was also very inspired by you. Scott Chaskey [00:14:31]: Well, I hope it was mutual. Megan Chaskey [00:14:34]: Yes. Well, I think it mattered a lot to her that you came and saw her in China and saw what was being created there. Scott Chaskey [00:14:45]: Yeah, we were all there because of community. And nothing could be stronger than the community of all those people speaking all different languages, practicing the same, really the same, thing traveling there. My first thought was what in the world is Community Supported Agriculture like in China of all places? But in fact it's not so different because it has to do with the community of soil, the biology of the soil, and the community of people looking for nutritious food. Megan Chaskey [00:15:25]: Yeah, that's a very beautiful chapter. And give us a sense of what it feels like now that you've completed the book and what it's like for you to have brought these stories into this format. Scott Chaskey [00:15:49]: Well, for me it's really about reaching people. It's not obviously my single story. I actually felt that after all these years of working, digging in the soil locally and working to build community locally, that by writing, I can actually reach many more people. And that's what I hope for this book. Already it seems to have wings, good wings. It's taking off. And that's ultimately what it has to do, not so much with a message, but with a sharing, a basic reality which is often lacking in our modern existence. And reality has to do with tending soil, caring for place, caring for community of people. And everyone who reads about that can share in the importance of it. So, yeah, I just hope it reaches many people. Megan Chaskey [00:16:54]: It already, as you said, is reaching people. And we have some readings coming up, and we will put the schedule in the show notes. So I look forward to hearing from people who get to hear you read in person. And it's a beautiful thing that you're doing, bringing your voice of hope. And I know a lot of people have mentioned that, that it's a seed of hope that is really touching people's hearts as they read your stories, because people need that sense of what's being cultivated and that it's cultivating hope. So thank you for the work you're doing. Scott Chaskey [00:17:46]: Thank you for reading and listening and asking questions. Megan Chaskey [00:17:52]: And we'll be back, we'll do another episode. So thank you.
Bluetooth The King Ragnar Lodbrok was a legendary Norse king, conquering parts of Denmark and Sweden. And if we're to believe the songs, he led some of the best raids against the Franks and the the loose patchwork of nations Charlemagne put together called the Holy Roman Empire. We use the term legendary as the stories of Ragnar were passed down orally and don't necessarily reconcile with other written events. In other words, it's likely that the man in the songs sung by the bards of old are likely in fact a composite of deeds from many a different hero of the norse. Ragnar supposedly died in a pit of snakes at the hands of the Northumbrian king and his six sons formed a Great Heathen Army to avenge their father. His sons ravaged modern England int he wake of their fathers death before becoming leaders of various lands they either inherited or conquered. One of those sons, Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, returned home to rule his lands and had children, including Harthacnut. He in turn had a son named Gorm. Gorm the Old was a Danish king who lived to be nearly 60 in a time when life expectancy for most was about half that. Gorm raised a Jelling stone in honor of his wife Thyra. As did his son, in the honor of his wife. That stone is carved with runes that say: “King Haraldr ordered this monument made in memory of Gormr, his father, and in memory of Thyrvé, his mother; that Haraldr who won for himself all of Denmark and Norway and made the Danes Christian.” That stone was erected by a Danish king named Herald Gormsson. He converted to Christianity as part of a treaty with the Holy Roman Emperor of the day. He united the tribes of Denmark into a kingdom. One that would go on to expand the reach and reign of the line. Just as Bluetooth would unite devices. Even the logo is a combination of runes that make up his initials HB. Once united, their descendants would go on to rule Denmark, Norway, and England. For a time. Just as Bluetooth would go on to be an important wireless protocol. For a time. Personal Area Networks Many early devices shipped with infrared so people could use a mouse or keyboard. But those never seemed to work so great. And computers with a mouse and keyboard and drawing pad and camera and Zip drive and everything else meant that not only did devices have to be connected to sync but they also had to pull a lot of power and create an even bigger mess on our desks. What the world needed instead was an inexpensive chip that could communicate wirelessly and not pull a massive amount of power since some would be in constant communication. And if we needed a power cord then might as well just use USB or those RS-232 interfaces (serial ports) that were initially developed in 1960 - that were slow and cumbersome. And we could call this a Personal Area Network, or PAN. The Palm Pilot was popular, but docking and pluging in that serial port was not exactly optimal. Yet every ATX motherboard had a port or two. So a Bluetooth Special Interest Group was formed to conceive and manage the standard in 1988 and while initially had half a dozen companies now has over 30,000. The initial development started in the late 1990s with Ericcson. It would use short-range UHF radio waves in the 2.402 GHz and 2.48 GHz bands to exchange data with computers and cell phones, which were evolving into mobile devices at the time. The technology was initially showcased at COMDEX in 1999. Within a couple of years there were phones that could sync, kits for cars, headsets, and chips that could be put into devices - or cards or USB adapters, to get a device to sync 721 Kbps. We could add 2 to 8 Bluetooth secondary devices that paired to our primary. They then frequency hopped using their Bluetooth device address provided by the primary, which sends a radio signal to secondaries with a range of addresses to use. The secondaries then respond with the frequency and clock state. And unlike a lot of other wireless technologies, it just kinda' worked. And life seemed good. Bluetooth went to the IEEE, which had assigned networking the 802 standard with Ethernet being 802.3 and Wi-Fi being 802.11. So Personal Area Networks became 802.15, with Bluetooth 1.1 becoming 802.15.1. And the first phone shipped in 2001, the Sony Ericsson T39. Bluetooth 2 came in 2005 and gave us 2.1 Mbps speeds and increased the range from 10 to 30 meters. By then, over 5 million devices were shipping every week. More devices mean we have a larger attack surface space. And security researchers were certainly knocking at the door. Bluetooth 2.1 added secure simple pairing. Then Bluetooth 3 in 2009 bringing those speeds up to 24 Mbps and once connected allowing Wi-Fi to pick up connections once established. But we were trading speed for energy and this wasn't really the direction Bluetooth needed to go. Even if a billion devices had shipped by the end of 2006. Bluetooth 4 The mobility era was upon us and it was increasingly important, not just for the ARM chips, but also for the rest of the increasing number of devices, to use less power. Bluetooth 4 came along in 2010 and was slower at 1 Mbps, but used less energy. This is when the iPhone 4S line fully embraced the technology, helping make it a standard. While not directly responsible for the fitness tracker craze, it certainly paved the way for a small coin cell battery to run these types of devices for long periods of time. And it allowed for connecting devices 100 meters, or well over 300 feet away. So leave the laptop in one room and those headphones should be fine in the next. And while we're at it, maybe we want those headphones to work on two different devices. This is where Multipoint comes into play. That's the feature of Bluetooth 4 that allows those devices to pass seamlessly between the phone and the laptop, maintaining a connection to each. Apple calls their implementation of this feature Handoff. Bluetooth 5 came in 2016, allowing for connections up to 240 meters, or around 800 feet. Well, according to what's between us and our devices, as with other protocols. We also got up to 2 Mbps, which dropped as we moved further away from devices. Thus we might get buffering issues or slower transfers with weaker connections. But not outright dropping the connection. Bluetooth Evolves Bluetooth was in large part developed to allow our phones to sync to our computers. Most don't do that any more. And the developers wanted to pave the way for wireless headsets. But it also allowed us to get smart scales, smart bulbs, wearables like smart watches and glasses, Bluetooth printers, webcams, keyboards, mice, GPS devices, thermostats, and even a little device that tells me when I need to water the plants. Many home automation devices, or IoT as we seem to call them these days began as Bluetooth but given that we want them to work when we take all our mostly mobile computing devices out of the home, many of those have moved over to Wi-Fi these days. Bluetooth was initially conceived as a replacement for the serial port. Higher throughput needs moved to USB and USB-C. Lower throughput has largely moved to Bluetooth, with the protocol split between Low Energy and higher bandwidth application which with high definition audio now includes headphones. Once the higher throughput needs went to parallel and SCSI but now there are so many other options. And the line is blurred between what goes where. Billions of routers and switches have been sold, billions of wireless access points. Systems on a Chip now include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth together on the same chip. The programming languages for native apps have also given us frameworks and APIs where we can establish a connection over 5G, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth, and then hand them off where the needs diverge. Seamless to those who use our software and elegant when done right. Today over four billion bluetooth devices ship per year, growing at about 10 percent a year. The original needs that various aspects of Bluetooth was designed for have moved to other protocols and the future of the Personal Area Network may be at least in part moved to Wi-Fi or 5G. But for now it's a standard that has aged well and continues to make life easier for those who use it.
Laura Frantz came back on the show to talk about her latest novel, The Rose and the Thistle. Inspired by her own family history, Laura wrote this story set in the Scottish Lowlands during the Jacobite uprising of 1715. Laura is a Christy Award winner and the ECPA bestselling author of more than a dozen novels. More importantly, she's a kind soul, and always a delight to have on the podcast! Here is a description of the novel from Revell: Amid the Jacobite uprising in 1715, Lady Blythe Hedley's father is declared an enemy of the British crown because of his Jacobite sympathies. Forced to flee her home, Blythe is secreted away to Wedderburn Castle in the Scottish Lowlands to stay with longtime allies of her powerful Northumbrian family. While she awaits the crowning of the new king, she becomes acquainted with the Humes, the “Spears of Wedderburn,” who call the castle their home. Of the seven sons, it is Everard, Lord Fast, who intrigues Blythe the most. But their faith and their politics divide them. Everard is also grappling with his own problems—a volatile brother with dangerous political leanings, an estate to manage, and a very young brother in need of comfort and direction in the wake of losing their father. It would be best for everyone if he could send this misfit heiress on her way as soon as possible. In this whirlwind of intrigue, ambitions, and shifting alliances, Blythe yearns for someone she can trust. But the same forces that draw her and Everard together also threaten to tear them apart.

A 12th century castle, which has now stood alone, empty, and unused for over 350 years. In a remote valley in the wild's of Northumberland this ancient fortress has seen reports of dark shadowy figures moving swiftly around the barely standing stonework. Strange glowing lights are seen moving around the ruin, and footsteps are heard walking on floorboards above visitor's heads, despite there having been no floorboards there for centuries. Tonight, let us head into the Northumbrian countryside and ask just how haunted is Edlingham Castle? Support How Haunted? by subscribing and leaving a review.

A wide open landscape, resting, between gusts of rain-speckled Northumbrian air. This place, on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, is endlessly rural. Mostly farmland. Dotted with far apart sheep, grazing under a silent plane-free sky. It's nearly midday. Hearing the spatial sound of time passing and looking down, from a hill above, on the town clock of Wooler. How might its chimes carry? Through the speckling rain. Between the brisk gusts of scurrying air that cuff around the ears but then, are gone. Green fields sloping steeply down towards the town, framed on either side by tall, well established trees. Trees that transcribe the invisibly moving air into varying blends of white noise. Trees that are home to cooing wood pigeons. Trees seen from afar, as just patches of dark shadow on a green, far away horizon. * This is NOT a *sleep safe* episode as there is a loud bell chime halfway through! ** This is another section from the mics we left out and alone for 14 hours last summer in the hills above Wooler in Northumberland. Listen to the 5am sounds from this special place in episode 141 - Soft land murmuring. *** Every Lento episode is unique and represents an authentic passage of recorded time. We think of them as sound photographs inspired by the French impressionists. Each is an exposure from our own hand-built sound-camera, set up to collect spatial audio depicting the auditory impression of the moment, especially the spatial shiftings of audible textures.
He came from a noble Northumbrian family in Britain, and was tonsured a monk in 653 at Lerins in Gaul. In 669 he was made Abbot of the Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul in Canterbury. He traveled to Rome in 671 to be instructed in monastic practice according to the Rule of Saint Benedict (of Nursia). Returning to Northumbria he established two new monasteries, the first to follow St Benedict's Rule in the British Isles. He went to Rome once again in 678-679, this time bringing back the archcantor of St Peter's, who taught the monks of St Benedict's monasteries the chant and liturgical practices used in Rome. Under the holy abbot's guidance, these monasteries became flourishing centers of Christian worship, scholarship and art. The Venerable Bede (May 26) was one of his disciples. Saint Benedict reposed in peace in 689 or 690, having greatly strengthened the Church and the Christian faith in Britain.

In a remote location, high above the North Sea, this castle has over 700 years of history, a turbulent past which has left it as a ruinous reminder of the violence and bloodshed that Northumberland has witnessed. This castle is said to be home to a number of spirits that were tied to the building in life, and most famously is the setting of a famous Northumbrian legend of a knight's quest to save a maiden in distress.

An exposed tree, looking down upon the town of Wooler, high in the Northumberland hills. It stands amidst wide open fields, by an empty bench and an overgrown footpath. It stands. And it feels the time passing, through the slow undulations of the wind. Bright cloudful skies. Rain expected. Then out across the valley the bell strikes. Reverberantly. Five shining tones to tell the sleeping town of Wooler that this is the fifth hour of this new, Northumbrian day. Two tiny birds leap to attention, from their hidden places inside the tree. The soundview of this wide panoramic landscape changes with the wind. Tawny treetop owls. Sheep. Cawing rooks. Flocks of chattering jackdaws. Wood pigeons, cooing comfortably from their lofty roosts. Then as the wind gathers strength, the soundview shifts to the interior space within the tree. To the hushing currents of moving air pressing through its dense and complex branch structures. To the light countless flutterings of its small, crisp edged leaves. Soft undulating murmurings, of the land that is Northumberland.

Episode 117n Settling up at the Synod of WhitbyDescription: Today we are joined one more time by Dr. Carly McNamara of the University of Glasgow to wrap up our series on the history of the early Church in Ireland and the British Isles. The Synod of Whitby marks the logical place to set our bookmark on the history of Christianity in the British Isles. Don't worry, we will be back of course. The Synod of Whitby was the event where a number of threads of the story come together. Computus, monastic practices and King Oswiu of Northumbria's family problems were at least partially settled.

The Synod of Whitby marks the logical place to set our bookmark on the history of Christianity in the British Isles. Don't worry, we will be back of course. The Synod of Whitby was the event where a number of threads of the story come together. Computus, monastic practices and King Oswiu of Northumbria's family problems were at least partially settled. Let's find out how!•With that, here is the next piece of the mosaic of the history of the Popes of Rome and Christian Church.[00:00:00] We've talked about colo and Colomb Bonis who are some of the other, um, big names we should keep our eyes on. Yeah. So there were. Uh, there's so many saints that you can have a, a look at, um, there's Adam, who is the, the author of the life of St. Columbus. He's a Saint in his own. Right. And he wrote a number of things.There's of course, bead, uh, there's Malachy of Armand that I am, of course interested in because he spent time as Abbot at banger as well. There's. Um, I'm trying to think. Names have just flown right out of my head. There's St. Brendan who most people will know of as Brendan the navigator. There's kinda, there's more saints than you could shake a stick at, as you like to say, where I grew up Oswalt.He was the king of Benicia and. Was that a Celtic land? No. So that is, uh, gonna be sex and kingdoms. We [00:01:00] would know them more, uh, generally as Northumbria, but there would've been a certain amount of, uh, crossover because it was so far north. Yeah. So there would be. Crossover you we've got these different kinda kingdoms that are pushing against each other.And so they're gonna have conflicts, they're gonna have intermarriages, there's gonna be power fluctuations in the area. And the thing about OAL is that he and his brother awe had spent time in Del RDA, or maybe in Ireland as well when they were in exile, their. Side of the family had kind of been overthrown from the throne.And so they had to go into exile. So they were educated in this kind of Gaelic or Gaelic church situation. And so when OAL regained the throne, you know, he asked Iona to provide a Bishop for not only him self, but also to help with the conversion process for his kingdom. And it [00:02:00] was an Ivan who he then gave land to at Linda's farm to found a monastery there.So although this was a north kingdom, we're seeing this Iona or this Irish brand of Christianity being the one that's brought in and you'll even see when be talks of a out. The conversion of north embryo. He is very positive and effusive about the Irish. It's almost so the Irish can't do anything wrong, even when they are doing things wrong versus the way he talks about the British church.You know, he's taking part of it from Gilda who thinks that everyone is terrible all the time, but he's also upset wel or the British or Welsh. If you wanna call em that. Didn't engage in the conversion of the north Umbrians or of the Saxons, but we can wonder, you know, to what degree you would want to be part of the conversion process of your enemy.If the Saxons had come to conquer your [00:03:00] lands, like, are you gonna turn around and be like, Hey, let's talk about Jesus. So we, all of that going on Oswald is a sax. In an Anglosaxon area that has Celtic in it, but he asks Iona to bring a Bishop Aiden or you pronounced it. Ivan. I Ivan. Yes, Ivan. Um, he, who presumably is Celtic to set up the, this farm in north.Where does. What kind of flavor does that give the, the Linda's farm monastery when it's getting set up, as far as theology goes, Yeah. So we would really consider that kind of this Irish style, uh, monastery, you know, they would look to Iona for a lot of information and support and so we could consider it very closely, kind of.I don't wanna say [00:04:00] allies, but I'll, I'll say it anyway, Alli to Iona and of a mind with it. If you like, and this will change very starkly after the Sy of Whitby. And that's when we see it change to this Northumbrian or this more Roben style, because they decide or. Us. We really decides to, you know, we're gonna go with this calculation that Rome is going with, even though Rome had recently changed which calculation they were going with.And you don't see that mentioned in be, you don't see that mentioned in. The life of Columb Bon, you don't see that mentioned the life of Wilfrid. You know, they're not going, oh, Hey, by the way, Rome just recently changed. They're they're kind of smoothing all of that over to make it seem like Rome was, you know, of the same position the whole time.That's that's really interesting. One question I have. One is bead writing in comparison to these events that we're talking about. [00:05:00] Yeah. So bead was alive at this time. So he knew Wilfred personally. Um, as far as his specific dates, let me have a quick think. So, yeah, he would've been like late seventh towards like, not quite mid eighth century, but yeah, he is said to have known Adam men personally and Adam men have.Said to have gone down to visit with him. So yeah, he is. He's talking about a lot of events as far as the Easter controversy goes that he'll have been, you know, really close to. So this isn't the case of like writing a hundred years later or 200 years later. And through beads writing, do we see him as he leaning more towards.The Roman position or more towards the Iver position, given that he was a Linda farm guy. So he wasn't a Linda's farm guy. He was [00:06:00] born near the, the monastery of Yaro. And so, oh, that's right. Yeah. yeah. So he's north UMBR and he is firmly on the north thumb side as far as school. So he. He's very, you know, we are properly Orthodox and we are following the way of Rome.And so, yeah, it it's obvious where his kind of proclivities lie if you like, and yeah, that's he likes the Irish, but he is like, oh, well, even when they're wrong, they're still trying really hard to be. Right. So we should still like them, but before we move any of. Um, too much further.
