William James — the father of American psychology — spent years studying mystical and religious experiences across every tradition. What he found surprised him. When a person is seized by something bigger than themselves, suffering loses its sting, death loses its victory, and everything is swallowed up in a higher denomination. Nothing compares. The gopīs of Vrindavan knew this. Raghunath and Kaustubha arrive at the apex of the Rāsa Līlā — where the gopīs finally open their hearts completely. We have abandoned our families and our homes. We have no desire other than to serve you. Our hearts are burning with intense desire generated by your beautiful smiling glances. Please make us your servants. The Srimad Bhagavatam confirms it: a person who has once relished the taste of the lotus feet of the Lord can do nothing but remember that ecstasy again and again. Once you've tasted this, nothing of this world can satisfy you. Nothing compares 2 U. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2022 then toured the international festival circuit, where it picked up multiple awards, before hitting cinemas in October 2022. It has received over thirty award nominations internationally, including Emmy, Critics Choice, IDA, and PGA Awards, and was awarded winner of Best Feature Documentary at BIFA 2022 and IFTA 2023. Nothing Compares is now available to watch on Showtime and Sky. Her second feature, Bogart: Life Comes in Flashes (Universal), was released in US cinemas in 2024.

It's hard to believe, but it's been 10 years since the death of Minnesota's most beloved cultural icon, Prince. Just before 10 the morning of April 21st, 2016, he was found unresponsive at his studios in Paisley Park after a fentanyl overdose. He was 57 years old. As the world processed the news, fans assembled outside Paisley Park and First Avenue. The downtown Minneapolis nightclub later became the scene of an all-night dance party to honor the artist. Music journalist Andrea Swensson, formerly of The Current, was both at Paisley Park and First Avenue, helping share his legacy with the world. Andrea went on to write a book about Prince. She also hosted the official Prince podcast. She joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to reflect on Prince's life and legacy.

Preparing For Tuesday's Cunnilingus Class.By Quinn_McMullen. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.Story RecapI'm Dan, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering. I needed two general education requirements to complete my degree, at a university in the Chicago area. It's a cold January, on campus. I was able to enroll in an English literature class and Dr. Martin’s Sociology 369 Human Sexuality course, for the second semester.On the first day of class, we learned about male and female orgasms. Dr. Martin allowed students to submit a standard analysis and reading notes or to provide an alternative assignment. The first alternative assignment was to masturbate either alone or with an observer and report on our experience.Hannah, a coed was sitting in class next to me. I asked to be her partner. While we were trying to get comfortable with one another, we ended up having sex.DinnerAs I sat with Hannah at dinner, I had so many questions I wanted to ask her, but she started off.She looked me in the eye, “So you’re what? Twenty two? Twenty three?"Twenty two.”“I’m twenty one. So, I have to say that I am not normally that aggressive. I don’t know what came over me.”“I thought it was wonderful.”Hannah nodded, “I’m sure you did, but I’m not sure what happened. I had every intention in the world of sitting there with you, reading until dinner. And then.” She averted her gaze, then looked back into my eyes, “Then I just wanted you. I can’t explain it. I’ve never started anything with a guy before. It has always been the guy coming on to me.”“I really didn’t mind. It was definitely a gift. Guys often leave a gal frustrated because they can't work up the nerve to initiate things. Especially when the gal is as gorgeous as you.”Hannah reached out and touched my hand, "Ah, thanks! Dan, it’s okay. I guess I’m just trying to understand my actions. It was so out of character for me.”“Maybe you’re comfortable with me. I hope, anyway?”She laughed, “Undoubtedly. You’re a really nice guy.” She released my hand, “No, more than that. I know we just met, but I feel like you care about me as a person. I just hope that by being the initiator, I haven’t made you not like me.”“Hannah, I would never think that. You are self-confident, that’s all. You're very respectful and sensitive. You weren't pushy at all.”“See, that’s the thing. I’ve never really been all that self-confident. Certainly not when it comes to sex.”“How much sex have you,” I stopped myself. “I'm sorry. That's not polite for me to ask.”"No, I'm okay with talking to you about it. There was my date for the senior prom. Spring semester freshman year I had a boyfriend for a couple of weeks. Probably had sex two or three times with him. Sophomore year I had sex a couple of more times. Once over the summer. Once with Jeff last semester. Altogether, I’ve probably had sex less than ten times in my entire life. Not counting Sterling.”“Sterling?” I was puzzled.“Sterling is my chrome vibrator.” Hannah explained. “Until today, only Sterling could reliably bring me to orgasms. Today was the first time someone not named Sterling, gave me an orgasm. How about you?”“I wouldn’t say that I’m promiscuous, but I’ve had sex a lot more than that. It was always in a relationship. Let’s see, I’ve been intimate with five girlfriends. This was the first time I had sex with someone on the first day I met them.”“Same here. I hope you didn’t mind.”“Do I in any way look like I didn't have the time of my life? Not at all. It was amazing. Maybe it was a desire to try out some of the things we learned in class.”Hannah smiled, “Well you tried out something you learned. Did you rub my g spot?”“Yeah. It was all wrinkly.” I added. “Nothing like a good hands-on lab project.”“I was already cumming and then that sent me into orbit. Holy shit.” Hannah exclaimed.“As an observer, that was pretty cool. I obviously ‘pressed your button', right?” I gloated."Observer? Dan, you did that to me. You were my lover. Come to think of it, you propped me up so you could screw me like that dildo in the film.”“I did.” I proudly admitted.“That was quite creative.” She marveled.“Thanks.” I grinned.We ate in silence for several minutes. It wasn’t the least bit awkward though.Hannah stopped eating, “Normally I would try to fill silence. I don’t feel like I have to. It’s like we’re two old married people that are completely comfortable with each other.”I stopped eating, “You’re right. I don’t know very much about you, but it’s like I’ve known you a long time.”She nodded and continued eating. Another minute of silence passed.I reached out and touched her hand, “Do you believe in fate?”“I haven’t given it much thought.” She wondered where this was going.“I mean, what are the odds that I would have to sit next to you, you would ask me to be your partner, and we would hit it off so well?”“Look it, Dan. I’m not a religious person. I’m sure there is a perfectly good probability that that would happen.”I nodded, “Okay, but the odds are not that high.”“That two random college students sitting next to one another would become friends, partners, and lovers? It think they are very high. That those two people would be you and me, that’s just the universe rolling the dice.” She squelched my sentimentality.She was right, but the thought was disappointing. I pulled my hand back.Hannah grabbed my hand, “Dan, I feel like I just burst a bubble on you.”“Yeah. Maybe. A little. I had the thought that maybe someone was looking out for us and;”“If it makes you feel any better, “ she interrupted; “I could very well be wrong. I agree that it is very cool that you sat down next to me. Whatever force in the universe made that happen, I’m very grateful. Done eating?”“Yeah.”The LibraryTo avoid temptation, we agreed to study together in the library. About nine we headed to Hannah’s room. The cold and wind had eased a bit, making it easier to talk.Once outside, Hannah took my hand, “How should we decide who goes first?”“I don’t have a problem going first.”Hannah laughed, “I’m kind of excited. I’ve never seen a guy get himself off.”“I guess that’s a reason Dr. Miller said we could have an observer.”I held the door for her when we got to her dorm. Inside her room I took off my jacket.Hannah stopped to watch me, “This feels very clinical again. Could I undress you?”“Sure.”Hannah came over to me and put her hands behind my neck, “Maybe some mood-setting would help too.” She went on tip-toe and kissed me, “Yes. That’s what we need.” She turned on her stereo. In a couple seconds, Simple Minds was playing ‘Don't you Forget About Me'.She pulled me to her bed, sat down, and pulled me down with her, “Much better.”We lay side-by-side, exploring each other’s mouth. I finally pulled her on top of me so I could hold her ass cheeks. She seems to love having her ass caressed.After several minutes of necking I spoke into her mouth, “I think I’m ready.”“I feel something.” She said with a horny wink. Her mix tape was now playing Rick Astley, singing ‘Never Gunna Give You Up'. I'm guessing this was Hannah's mood music for when she pleasured herself. But that was her business. I just decided to enjoy the moment.Hannah rolled off me and I stood up. I pulled my shirt off and dropped my jeans, standing there in my partially tented boxers.“Ready?”She smiled and I let my boxers fall to my ankles, flipping them across the room with a flick of my foot. I slowly stroked my tumescent cock.Hannah stood up, “I think I promised to let you see me naked to help get you aroused.”“You did.” I recalled.“Why don’t you sit on the bed and let me give you something to get aroused about.”I climbed up to the headboard and placed a pillow behind my back. Hannah began a little bump and grind strip tease. I pulled on my cock to firm it up. By now her mix tape was playing Tears for Fears, singing ‘Everybody Wants To Rule the World' with its sultry beat.She turned away from me and pulled her shirt off. She swiveled her jean-clad hips, then kicked off her shoes. Hannah loved to dance and it's clear she was very good at it. Somehow her socks went flying. She stepped up onto the bed and stood above me, one leg on either side.She placed her hands on the wall to balance herself and then placed her foot on my cock, “Let me rub that for you.”I wouldn’t call it rubbing, but she did move her foot up and down on my shaft. It wasn’t exactly effective and soon she was back standing on the floor. She turned away and dropped her jeans to the floor. Hannah flipped them aside with her foot, then climbed back up on the bed. Standing above me in her bra and panties was more arousing. She stepped forward so that her crotch was inches from my face.I leaned forward, pressed my nose into her crotch, and took a deep breath, “God, you smell good.” Her pheromones made a beeline to my cock.Hannah stepped back on the floor and removed her bra and panties, “Sorry, I’m not very creative with a strip tease.”“I appreciate the creativity” I encouraged her.“Thanks. How about if I just stand here in all my nakedness?”“That works.”I was rock hard now and it was easy to stroke myself. I was thinking I needed some lube when Hannah crawled up on the bed and got very close to my cock.She smiled, “I’m observing.”I laughed.Hannah ran her hand down my thigh, “Perhaps you should position yourself so that I can see your asshole. I need to know if it contracts when you cum.”“Oh. Okay.”I slouched down at her headboard. I placed my feet so that my legs were spread  out and knees bent; and she had a good view of my anus. She was kneeling in front of me. I licked my stroke hand to provide some lubrication. Now her stereo was playing A-Ha. The cut was ‘Take On Me'.Hannah said, “I can provide some saliva.” She leaned forward dribbled some spit on the head of my cock.I smiled, “That’s helpful.”“But probably not enough.” She grabbed my stroke hand and placed her mouth on my cock, sucking away.“I think that defeats the purpose of the assignment.”She came off for a moment, “I don’t care.”Hannah soon had my entire shaft wet with saliva. She stroked me with her hands while sucking and churning the head in her mouth. The stereo filled the room with ‘Shout' from Tears For Fears. When I groaned my appreciation, I felt her finger at my ass. I think she had her juices on her finger because she slipped right in. She found my prostate.“Oh god, Hannah. Hannah. Cumming. I’m cumming.” The stereo rumbled; “Shout, shout, let it all out”.Everything sped up, her mouth, her fingers rubbing in my ass. I grabbed my knees and pulled my legs toward me. The point of no return approached and my world narrowed to my cock and ass. My body started quaking uncontrollably. Hannah’s eyes were locked in on mine as she swallowed everything I shot. I threw my head back as my orgasm continued. All I could feel was her fingers rubbing my prostate and her mouth on my cock, churning, sucking, licking. I tried to say something, but a croaking sound came out.Suddenly my cock was beyond sensitive, “Please.” I released my knees and held her face, “Please.”“Stop?” She asked for clarification.“Yes.”Hannah climbed up and lay down next to me. She kissed me with closed lips. I grabbed her face and probed my tongue into her salty mouth.She eased off, “That’s cool that you don’t mind kissing me. I had a guy that wouldn’t kiss me after he came in my mouth. By the way, I used what they did in the movie in class. It works.”“Wow, Does it ever.” I blurted out.“Your whole body was shaking.” She told me.“Thank you, Hannah. That was amazing. If you let me recover for a couple minutes, I would love to return the favor.”“Offer accepted,” Hannah said as she swung her leg over me and stared kissing me again.After a few minutes of necking I was ready to go, “Why don’t you lie back and see what I can do for you.”Something told me to hold off on straight licking. I decided to kiss her ear lobes and then went for her nipples. I licked my way across her stomach and stopped at her pubes to breathe in her scent.Her clit was prominent at the top of her slit and her inner labia extended out a little. She had shaved her labia. I lapped up her juices, then moved to her clit.I looked up at Hannah. Her eyes were locked in on me.She whispered, “Maybe not straight, constant licking. Ease up a little from time to time so I don’t get numb.”I followed her advice. Eurythmics was filling the room with a hypnotic spell from ‘Sweet Dreams Are Made of These.'Hannah grabbed her nipples and was rolling them, “Oh, Dan. Oh.” I assumed that was a signal that she was cumming. I probed into her vagina and found her g spot.“Ah.” Hannah’s vagina started contracting. She arched her back and I could hear her panting. She forcibly pressed my forehead away from her crotch. I kept rubbing her g spot.Then Hannah wrapped her legs around my head and began bucking her hips. I took this as some kind of signal to stop.Slowly her body relaxed, “Oh my god. Dan, come up here.”I climbed up next to her.“That was so nice. Let’s climb in under the covers. I want to snuggle with you.”As I held her, I whispered, “I can see why people sleep with each other. This is cozy.”“Very cozy.” I concurred.The mix tape faded to  Sinéad O'Connor sang ‘Nothing Compares 2 U.'  I faded to slumber.Sleeping With HannahAs I emerged from sleep, I sensed a warm body next to me. When I opened my eyes, it was dark. I saw a lighted alarm clock across the room. I tried to place where I was and then I remembered. Hannah.When I emerged from sleep again, the room was light. I lay still, savoring the moment. We lay like spoons. My arm was under Hannah’s head. Her ass was pressed up against me and I had a bit of morning wood. My other hand was on her hip. She felt so silky and soft.After a bit of time, Hannah stirred.She rolled over, “Good morning.”“Good morning, Hannah.”“Is this one of those mythical morning woodies?”“Not mythical. I wake up with one on a regular basis.”“So, it isn’t because of me.”“No, but I have to say that sleeping with you is just short of heavenly.”“Agreed. Shall we start our day?”“I could use a shower.”“So could I. I wish I could take one with you, but the other girls on the floor might be either offended or jealous.”BreakfastOver breakfast, Hannah asked, “So, what do you think about Elizabeth Bennet?”“Elizabeth Bennet? Do I know her?”“From Pride and Prejudice?”“Oh. Yes.” I remembered. “ Kind of early in the book, but I have to say that the situation that her and her sisters are in is horrible.”“Things were not good for women back in jolly old England. I think that’s the 1800s. Or anywhere else for that matter.”“She sounds like someone I would like to know.” I said. “She seems smart, independent. She’s got a very strong will. Probably a lot like you.”Hannah smiled, “Thanks. And you’re still early in the book. What do you think of Jane Austen’s writing?”“Love it. So lyrical.”Friday Masturbation AssignmentOn Friday afternoon, we finally got around to conducting our masturbation assignment. Here is what I wrote for Dr. Miller:My observer was Hannah. She was also my partner as you will see.I positioned myself on my bed so that my partner could observe me. I made sure my legs were such that she could see my anus. By mutual agreement, we were both naked so that I would be aroused by her body. Hannah has a beautiful body. I began pulling on my penis to get it hard. It did not take long given the goddess in front of me. Normally I would use saliva to lubricate myself, but my partner allowed me to use some of her vaginal juice as lubrication. It was much slicker and much more effective.Once I was hard, I stroked myself in the usual manner, focusing on the head of my penis and the sensitive edge. I am circumcised and the scar is a little sensitive as well. My partner asked me to let her know when I was getting close. I focused on her charms and after several minutes, I felt my orgasm approaching. I let my partner know.Hannah slipped two lubricated fingers into my anus and massaged my prostate just like the film we saw in class. The ensuing orgasm was one of the most intense experiences of my life. All my focus centered on my erection and my prostate. As I came, my body began shaking uncontrollably. I shot my load all over my chest. There were three distinct strings of cum, plus a smaller fourth string. Once I shot my load, I stopped stroking myself because of sensitivity, but my partner kept rubbing my prostate and the intense orgasm continued for about 30 seconds.Unlike a regular orgasm, this was much more of a whole-body orgasm. The shaking lasted as long as Hannah rubbed my prostate.Afterwards I was exhausted. We both tasted my semen. It was a little salty and a little musky. My partner thought it tasted a little like mushrooms.Here is Hannah’s submission:I positioned myself on the bed with my legs spread so that my partner (Dan) could observe me. I have a fantasy that I use to arouse myself. I imagine kissing a movie star. Dan said he would sit in for the movie star. Plus, he was naked and in person! He let me run my fingers through his chest hair and hold his penis. After we had been kissing for a while, I thought I was ready. My partner moved back and I began rubbing my clit in my usual way small, quick

I’m sure there is a perfectly good probability that that would happen.”I nodded, “Okay, but the odds are not that high.”“That two random college students sitting next to one another would become friends, partners, and lovers? It think they are very high. That those two people would be you and me, that’s just the universe rolling the dice.” She squelched my sentimentality.She was right, but the thought was disappointing. I pulled my hand back.Hannah grabbed my hand, “Dan, I feel like I just burst a bubble on you.”“Yeah. Maybe. A little. I had the thought that maybe someone was looking out for us and;”“If it makes you feel any better, “ she interrupted; “I could very well be wrong. I agree that it is very cool that you sat down next to me. Whatever force in the universe made that happen, I’m very grateful. Done eating?”“Yeah.”The LibraryTo avoid temptation, we agreed to study together in the library. About nine we headed to Hannah’s room. The cold and wind had eased a bit, making it easier to talk.Once outside, Hannah took my hand, “How should we decide who goes first?”“I don’t have a problem going first.”Hannah laughed, “I’m kind of excited. I’ve never seen a guy get himself off.”“I guess that’s a reason Dr. Miller said we could have an observer.”I held the door for her when we got to her dorm. Inside her room I took off my jacket.Hannah stopped to watch me, “This feels very clinical again. Could I undress you?”“Sure.”Hannah came over to me and put her hands behind my neck, “Maybe some mood-setting would help too.” She went on tip-toe and kissed me, “Yes. That’s what we need.” She turned on her stereo. In a couple seconds, Simple Minds was playing ‘Don't you Forget About Me'.She pulled me to her bed, sat down, and pulled me down with her, “Much better.”We lay side-by-side, exploring each other’s mouth. I finally pulled her on top of me so I could hold her ass cheeks. She seems to love having her ass caressed.After several minutes of necking I spoke into her mouth, “I think I’m ready.”“I feel something.” She said with a horny wink. Her mix tape was now playing Rick Astley, singing ‘Never Gunna Give You Up'. I'm guessing this was Hannah's mood music for when she pleasured herself. But that was her business. I just decided to enjoy the moment.Hannah rolled off me and I stood up. I pulled my shirt off and dropped my jeans, standing there in my partially tented boxers.“Ready?”She smiled and I let my boxers fall to my ankles, flipping them across the room with a flick of my foot. I slowly stroked my tumescent cock.Hannah stood up, “I think I promised to let you see me naked to help get you aroused.”“You did.” I recalled.“Why don’t you sit on the bed and let me give you something to get aroused about.”I climbed up to the headboard and placed a pillow behind my back. Hannah began a little bump and grind strip tease. I pulled on my cock to firm it up. By now her mix tape was playing Tears for Fears, singing ‘Everybody Wants To Rule the World' with its sultry beat.She turned away from me and pulled her shirt off. She swiveled her jean-clad hips, then kicked off her shoes. Hannah loved to dance and it's clear she was very good at it. Somehow her socks went flying. She stepped up onto the bed and stood above me, one leg on either side.She placed her hands on the wall to balance herself and then placed her foot on my cock, “Let me rub that for you.”I wouldn’t call it rubbing, but she did move her foot up and down on my shaft. It wasn’t exactly effective and soon she was back standing on the floor. She turned away and dropped her jeans to the floor. Hannah flipped them aside with her foot, then climbed back up on the bed. Standing above me in her bra and panties was more arousing. She stepped forward so that her crotch was inches from my face.I leaned forward, pressed my nose into her crotch, and took a deep breath, “God, you smell good.” Her pheromones made a beeline to my cock.Hannah stepped back on the floor and removed her bra and panties, “Sorry, I’m not very creative with a strip tease.”“I appreciate the creativity” I encouraged her.“Thanks. How about if I just stand here in all my nakedness?”“That works.”I was rock hard now and it was easy to stroke myself. I was thinking I needed some lube when Hannah crawled up on the bed and got very close to my cock.She smiled, “I’m observing.”I laughed.Hannah ran her hand down my thigh, “Perhaps you should position yourself so that I can see your asshole. I need to know if it contracts when you cum.”“Oh. Okay.”I slouched down at her headboard. I placed my feet so that my legs were spread  out and knees bent; and she had a good view of my anus. She was kneeling in front of me. I licked my stroke hand to provide some lubrication. Now her stereo was playing A-Ha. The cut was ‘Take On Me'.Hannah said, “I can provide some saliva.” She leaned forward dribbled some spit on the head of my cock.I smiled, “That’s helpful.”“But probably not enough.” She grabbed my stroke hand and placed her mouth on my cock, sucking away.“I think that defeats the purpose of the assignment.”She came off for a moment, “I don’t care.”Hannah soon had my entire shaft wet with saliva. She stroked me with her hands while sucking and churning the head in her mouth. The stereo filled the room with ‘Shout' from Tears For Fears. When I groaned my appreciation, I felt her finger at my ass. I think she had her juices on her finger because she slipped right in. She found my prostate.“Oh god, Hannah. Hannah. Cumming. I’m cumming.” The stereo rumbled; “Shout, shout, let it all out”.Everything sped up, her mouth, her fingers rubbing in my ass. I grabbed my knees and pulled my legs toward me. The point of no return approached and my world narrowed to my cock and ass. My body started quaking uncontrollably. Hannah’s eyes were locked in on mine as she swallowed everything I shot. I threw my head back as my orgasm continued. All I could feel was her fingers rubbing my prostate and her mouth on my cock, churning, sucking, licking. I tried to say something, but a croaking sound came out.Suddenly my cock was beyond sensitive, “Please.” I released my knees and held her face, “Please.”“Stop?” She asked for clarification.“Yes.”Hannah climbed up and lay down next to me. She kissed me with closed lips. I grabbed her face and probed my tongue into her salty mouth.She eased off, “That’s cool that you don’t mind kissing me. I had a guy that wouldn’t kiss me after he came in my mouth. By the way, I used what they did in the movie in class. It works.”“Wow, Does it ever.” I blurted out.“Your whole body was shaking.” She told me.“Thank you, Hannah. That was amazing. If you let me recover for a couple minutes, I would love to return the favor.”“Offer accepted,” Hannah said as she swung her leg over me and stared kissing me again.After a few minutes of necking I was ready to go, “Why don’t you lie back and see what I can do for you.”Something told me to hold off on straight licking. I decided to kiss her ear lobes and then went for her nipples. I licked my way across her stomach and stopped at her pubes to breathe in her scent.Her clit was prominent at the top of her slit and her inner labia extended out a little. She had shaved her labia. I lapped up her juices, then moved to her clit.I looked up at Hannah. Her eyes were locked in on me.She whispered, “Maybe not straight, constant licking. Ease up a little from time to time so I don’t get numb.”I followed her advice. Eurythmics was filling the room with a hypnotic spell from ‘Sweet Dreams Are Made of These.'Hannah grabbed her nipples and was rolling them, “Oh, Dan. Oh.” I assumed that was a signal that she was cumming. I probed into her vagina and found her g spot.“Ah.” Hannah’s vagina started contracting. She arched her back and I could hear her panting. She forcibly pressed my forehead away from her crotch. I kept rubbing her g spot.Then Hannah wrapped her legs around my head and began bucking her hips. I took this as some kind of signal to stop.Slowly her body relaxed, “Oh my god. Dan, come up here.”I climbed up next to her.“That was so nice. Let’s climb in under the covers. I want to snuggle with you.”As I held her, I whispered, “I can see why people sleep with each other. This is cozy.”“Very cozy.” I concurred.The mix tape faded to  Sinéad O'Connor sang ‘Nothing Compares 2 U.'  I faded to slumber.Sleeping With HannahAs I emerged from sleep, I sensed a warm body next to me. When I opened my eyes, it was dark. I saw a lighted alarm clock across the room. I tried to place where I was and then I remembered. Hannah.When I emerged from sleep again, the room was light. I lay still, savoring the moment. We lay like spoons. My arm was under Hannah’s head. Her ass was pressed up against me and I had a bit of morning wood. My other hand was on her hip. She felt so silky and soft.After a bit of time, Hannah stirred.She rolled over, “Good morning.”“Good morning, Hannah.”“Is this one of those mythical morning woodies?”“Not mythical. I wake up with one on a regular basis.”“So, it isn’t because of me.”“No, but I have to say that sleeping with you is just short of heavenly.”“Agreed. Shall we start our day?”“I could use a shower.”“So could I. I wish I could take one with you, but the other girls on the floor might be either offended or jealous.”BreakfastOver breakfast, Hannah asked, “So, what do you think about Elizabeth Bennet?”“Elizabeth Bennet? Do I know her?”“From Pride and Prejudice?”“Oh. Yes.” I remembered. “ Kind of early in the book, but I have to say that the situation that her and her sisters are in is horrible.”“Things were not good for women back in jolly old England. I think that’s the 1800s. Or anywhere else for that matter.”“She sounds like someone I would like to know.” I said. “She seems smart, independent. She’s got a very strong will. Probably a lot like you.”Hannah smiled, “Thanks. And you’re still early in the book. What do you think of Jane Austen’s writing?”“Love it. So lyrical.”Friday Masturbation AssignmentOn Friday afternoon, we finally got around to conducting our masturbation assignment. Here is what I wrote for Dr. Miller:My observer was Hannah. She was also my partner as you will see.I positioned myself on my bed so that my partner could observe me. I made sure my legs were such that she could see my anus. By mutual agreement, we were both naked so that I would be aroused by her body. Hannah has a beautiful body. I began pulling on my penis to get it hard. It did not take long given the goddess in front of me. Normally I would use saliva to lubricate myself, but my partner allowed me to use some of her vaginal juice as lubrication. It was much slicker and much more effective.Once I was hard, I stroked myself in the usual manner, focusing on the head of my penis and the sensitive edge. I am circumcised and the scar is a little sensitive as well. My partner asked me to let her know when I was getting close. I focused on her charms and after several minutes, I felt my orgasm approaching. I let my partner know.Hannah slipped two lubricated fingers into my anus and massaged my prostate just like the film we saw in class. The ensuing orgasm was one of the most intense experiences of my life. All my focus centered on my erection and my prostate. As I came, my body began shaking uncontrollably. I shot my load all over my chest. There were three distinct strings of cum, plus a smaller fourth string. Once I shot my load, I stopped stroking myself because of sensitivity, but my partner kept rubbing my prostate and the intense orgasm continued for about 30 seconds.Unlike a regular orgasm, this was much more of a whole-body orgasm. The shaking lasted as long as Hannah rubbed my prostate.Afterwards I was exhausted. We both tasted my semen. It was a little salty and a little musky. My partner thought it tasted a little like mushrooms.Here is Hannah’s submission:I positioned myself on the bed with my legs spread so that my partner (Dan) could observe me. I have a fantasy that I use to arouse myself. I imagine kissing a movie star. Dan said he would sit in for the movie star. Plus, he was naked and in person! He let me run my fingers through his chest hair and hold his penis. After we had been kissing for a while, I thought I was ready. My partner moved back and I began rubbing my clit in my usual way small, quick

Preparing For Tuesday's Cunnilingus Class.By Quinn_McMullen. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.Story RecapI'm Dan, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering. I needed two general education requirements to complete my degree, at a university in the Chicago area. It's a cold January, on campus. I was able to enroll in an English literature class and Dr. Martin’s Sociology 369 Human Sexuality course, for the second semester.On the first day of class, we learned about male and female orgasms. Dr. Martin allowed students to submit a standard analysis and reading notes or to provide an alternative assignment. The first alternative assignment was to masturbate either alone or with an observer and report on our experience.Hannah, a coed was sitting in class next to me. I asked to be her partner. While we were trying to get comfortable with one another, we ended up having sex.DinnerAs I sat with Hannah at dinner, I had so many questions I wanted to ask her, but she started off.She looked me in the eye, “So you’re what? Twenty two? Twenty three?"Twenty two.”“I’m twenty one. So, I have to say that I am not normally that aggressive. I don’t know what came over me.”“I thought it was wonderful.”Hannah nodded, “I’m sure you did, but I’m not sure what happened. I had every intention in the world of sitting there with you, reading until dinner. And then.” She averted her gaze, then looked back into my eyes, “Then I just wanted you. I can’t explain it. I’ve never started anything with a guy before. It has always been the guy coming on to me.”“I really didn’t mind. It was definitely a gift. Guys often leave a gal frustrated because they can't work up the nerve to initiate things. Especially when the gal is as gorgeous as you.”Hannah reached out and touched my hand, "Ah, thanks! Dan, it’s okay. I guess I’m just trying to understand my actions. It was so out of character for me.”“Maybe you’re comfortable with me. I hope, anyway?”She laughed, “Undoubtedly. You’re a really nice guy.” She released my hand, “No, more than that. I know we just met, but I feel like you care about me as a person. I just hope that by being the initiator, I haven’t made you not like me.”“Hannah, I would never think that. You are self-confident, that’s all. You're very respectful and sensitive. You weren't pushy at all.”“See, that’s the thing. I’ve never really been all that self-confident. Certainly not when it comes to sex.”“How much sex have you,” I stopped myself. “I'm sorry. That's not polite for me to ask.”"No, I'm okay with talking to you about it. There was my date for the senior prom. Spring semester freshman year I had a boyfriend for a couple of weeks. Probably had sex two or three times with him. Sophomore year I had sex a couple of more times. Once over the summer. Once with Jeff last semester. Altogether, I’ve probably had sex less than ten times in my entire life. Not counting Sterling.”“Sterling?” I was puzzled.“Sterling is my chrome vibrator.” Hannah explained. “Until today, only Sterling could reliably bring me to orgasms. Today was the first time someone not named Sterling, gave me an orgasm. How about you?”“I wouldn’t say that I’m promiscuous, but I’ve had sex a lot more than that. It was always in a relationship. Let’s see, I’ve been intimate with five girlfriends. This was the first time I had sex with someone on the first day I met them.”“Same here. I hope you didn’t mind.”“Do I in any way look like I didn't have the time of my life? Not at all. It was amazing. Maybe it was a desire to try out some of the things we learned in class.”Hannah smiled, “Well you tried out something you learned. Did you rub my g spot?”“Yeah. It was all wrinkly.” I added. “Nothing like a good hands-on lab project.”“I was already cumming and then that sent me into orbit. Holy shit.” Hannah exclaimed.“As an observer, that was pretty cool. I obviously ‘pressed your button', right?” I gloated."Observer? Dan, you did that to me. You were my lover. Come to think of it, you propped me up so you could screw me like that dildo in the film.”“I did.” I proudly admitted.“That was quite creative.” She marveled.“Thanks.” I grinned.We ate in silence for several minutes. It wasn’t the least bit awkward though.Hannah stopped eating, “Normally I would try to fill silence. I don’t feel like I have to. It’s like we’re two old married people that are completely comfortable with each other.”I stopped eating, “You’re right. I don’t know very much about you, but it’s like I’ve known you a long time.”She nodded and continued eating. Another minute of silence passed.I reached out and touched her hand, “Do you believe in fate?”“I haven’t given it much thought.” She wondered where this was going.“I mean, what are the odds that I would have to sit next to you, you would ask me to be your partner, and we would hit it off so well?”“Look it, Dan. I’m not a religious person. I’m sure there is a perfectly good probability that that would happen.”I nodded, “Okay, but the odds are not that high.”“That two random college students sitting next to one another would become friends, partners, and lovers? It think they are very high. That those two people would be you and me, that’s just the universe rolling the dice.” She squelched my sentimentality.She was right, but the thought was disappointing. I pulled my hand back.Hannah grabbed my hand, “Dan, I feel like I just burst a bubble on you.”“Yeah. Maybe. A little. I had the thought that maybe someone was looking out for us and;”“If it makes you feel any better, “ she interrupted; “I could very well be wrong. I agree that it is very cool that you sat down next to me. Whatever force in the universe made that happen, I’m very grateful. Done eating?”“Yeah.”The LibraryTo avoid temptation, we agreed to study together in the library. About nine we headed to Hannah’s room.

When I opened my eyes, it was dark. I saw a lighted alarm clock across the room. I tried to place where I was and then I remembered. Hannah.When I emerged from sleep again, the room was light. I lay still, savoring the moment. We lay like spoons. My arm was under Hannah’s head. Her ass was pressed up against me and I had a bit of morning wood. My other hand was on her hip. She felt so silky and soft.After a bit of time, Hannah stirred.She rolled over, “Good morning.”“Good morning, Hannah.”“Is this one of those mythical morning woodies?”“Not mythical. I wake up with one on a regular basis.”“So, it isn’t because of me.”“No, but I have to say that sleeping with you is just short of heavenly.”“Agreed. Shall we start our day?”“I could use a shower.”“So could I.

You’re a really nice guy.” She released my hand, “No, more than that. I know we just met, but I feel like you care about me as a person. I just hope that by being the initiator, I haven’t made you not like me.”“Hannah, I would never think that. You are self-confident, that’s all. You're very respectful and sensitive. You weren't pushy at all.”“See, that’s the thing. I’ve never really been all that self-confident. Certainly not when it comes to sex.”“How much sex have you,” I stopped myself. “I'm sorry. That's not polite for me to ask.”"No, I'm okay with talking to you about it. There was my date for the senior prom. Spring semester freshman year I had a boyfriend for a couple of weeks. Probably had sex two or three times with him. Sophomore year I had sex a couple of more times. Once over the summer. Once with Jeff last semester. Altogether, I’ve probably had sex less than ten times in my entire life. Not counting Sterling.”“Sterling?” I was puzzled.“Sterling is my chrome vibrator.” Hannah explained. “Until today, only Sterling could reliably bring me to orgasms. Today was the first time someone not named Sterling, gave me an orgasm. How about you?”“I wouldn’t say that I’m promiscuous, but I’ve had sex a lot more than that. It was always in a relationship. Let’s see, I’ve been intimate with five girlfriends. This was the first time I had sex with someone on the first day I met them.”“Same here. I hope you didn’t mind.”“Do I in any way look like I didn't have the time of my life? Not at all. It was amazing. Maybe it was a desire to try out some of the things we learned in class.”Hannah smiled, “Well you tried out something you learned. Did you rub my g spot?”“Yeah. It was all wrinkly.” I added. “Nothing like a good hands-on lab project.”“I was already cumming and then that sent me into orbit. Holy shit.” Hannah exclaimed.“As an observer, that was pretty cool. I obviously ‘pressed your button', right?” I gloated."Observer? Dan, you did that to me. You were my lover. Come to think of it, you propped me up so you could screw me like that dildo in the film.”“I did.” I proudly admitted.“That was quite creative.” She marveled.“Thanks.” I grinned.We ate in silence for several minutes. It wasn’t the least bit awkward though.Hannah stopped eating, “Normally I would try to fill silence. I don’t feel like I have to. It’s like we’re two old married people that are completely comfortable with each other.”I stopped eating, “You’re right. I don’t know very much about you, but it’s like I’ve known you a long time.”She nodded and continued eating. Another minute of silence passed.I reached out and touched her hand, “Do you believe in fate?”“I haven’t given it much thought.” She wondered where this was going.“I mean, what are the odds that I would have to sit next to you, you would ask me to be your partner, and we would hit it off so well?”“Look it, Dan. I’m not a religious person. I’m sure there is a perfectly good probability that that would happen.”I nodded, “Okay, but the odds are not that high.”“That two random college students sitting next to one another would become friends, partners, and lovers? It think they are very high. That those two people would be you and me, that’s just the universe rolling the dice.” She squelched my sentimentality.She was right, but the thought was disappointing. I pulled my hand back.Hannah grabbed my hand, “Dan, I feel like I just burst a bubble on you.”“Yeah. Maybe. A little. I had the thought that maybe someone was looking out for us and;”“If it makes you feel any better, “ she interrupted; “I could very well be wrong. I agree that it is very cool that you sat down next to me. Whatever force in the universe made that happen, I’m very grateful. Done eating?”“Yeah.”The LibraryTo avoid temptation, we agreed to study together in the library. About nine we headed to Hannah’s room. The cold and wind had eased a bit, making it easier to talk.Once outside, Hannah took my hand, “How should we decide who goes first?”“I don’t have a problem going first.”Hannah laughed, “I’m kind of excited. I’ve never seen a guy get himself off.”“I guess that’s a reason Dr. Miller said we could have an observer.”I held the door for her when we got to her dorm. Inside her room I took off my jacket.Hannah stopped to watch me, “This feels very clinical again. Could I undress you?”“Sure.”Hannah came over to me and put her hands behind my neck, “Maybe some mood-setting would help too.” She went on tip-toe and kissed me, “Yes. That’s what we need.” She turned on her stereo. In a couple seconds, Simple Minds was playing ‘Don't you Forget About Me'.She pulled me to her bed, sat down, and pulled me down with her, “Much better.”We lay side-by-side, exploring each other’s mouth. I finally pulled her on top of me so I could hold her ass cheeks. She seems to love having her ass caressed.After several minutes of necking I spoke into her mouth, “I think I’m ready.”“I feel something.” She said with a horny wink. Her mix tape was now playing Rick Astley, singing ‘Never Gunna Give You Up'. I'm guessing this was Hannah's mood music for when she pleasured herself. But that was her business. I just decided to enjoy the moment.Hannah rolled off me and I stood up. I pulled my shirt off and dropped my jeans, standing there in my partially tented boxers.“Ready?”She smiled and I let my boxers fall to my ankles, flipping them across the room with a flick of my foot. I slowly stroked my tumescent cock.Hannah stood up, “I think I promised to let you see me naked to help get you aroused.”“You did.” I recalled.“Why don’t you sit on the bed and let me give you something to get aroused about.”I climbed up to the headboard and placed a pillow behind my back. Hannah began a little bump and grind strip tease. I pulled on my cock to firm it up. By now her mix tape was playing Tears for Fears, singing ‘Everybody Wants To Rule the World' with its sultry beat.She turned away from me and pulled her shirt off. She swiveled her jean-clad hips, then kicked off her shoes. Hannah loved to dance and it's clear she was very good at it. Somehow her socks went flying. She stepped up onto the bed and stood above me, one leg on either side.She placed her hands on the wall to balance herself and then placed her foot on my cock, “Let me rub that for you.”I wouldn’t call it rubbing, but she did move her foot up and down on my shaft. It wasn’t exactly effective and soon she was back standing on the floor. She turned away and dropped her jeans to the floor. Hannah flipped them aside with her foot, then climbed back up on the bed. Standing above me in her bra and panties was more arousing. She stepped forward so that her crotch was inches from my face.I leaned forward, pressed my nose into her crotch, and took a deep breath, “God, you smell good.” Her pheromones made a beeline to my cock.Hannah stepped back on the floor and removed her bra and panties, “Sorry, I’m not very creative with a strip tease.”“I appreciate the creativity” I encouraged her.“Thanks. How about if I just stand here in all my nakedness?”“That works.”I was rock hard now and it was easy to stroke myself. I was thinking I needed some lube when Hannah crawled up on the bed and got very close to my cock.She smiled, “I’m observing.”I laughed.Hannah ran her hand down my thigh, “Perhaps you should position yourself so that I can see your asshole. I need to know if it contracts when you cum.”“Oh. Okay.”I slouched down at her headboard. I placed my feet so that my legs were spread  out and knees bent; and she had a good view of my anus. She was kneeling in front of me. I licked my stroke hand to provide some lubrication. Now her stereo was playing A-Ha. The cut was ‘Take On Me'.Hannah said, “I can provide some saliva.” She leaned forward dribbled some spit on the head of my cock.I smiled, “That’s helpful.”“But probably not enough.” She grabbed my stroke hand and placed her mouth on my cock, sucking away.“I think that defeats the purpose of the assignment.”She came off for a moment, “I don’t care.”Hannah soon had my entire shaft wet with saliva. She stroked me with her hands while sucking and churning the head in her mouth. The stereo filled the room with ‘Shout' from Tears For Fears. When I groaned my appreciation, I felt her finger at my ass. I think she had her juices on her finger because she slipped right in. She found my prostate.“Oh god, Hannah. Hannah. Cumming. I’m cumming.” The stereo rumbled; “Shout, shout, let it all out”.Everything sped up, her mouth, her fingers rubbing in my ass. I grabbed my knees and pulled my legs toward me. The point of no return approached and my world narrowed to my cock and ass. My body started quaking uncontrollably. Hannah’s eyes were locked in on mine as she swallowed everything I shot. I threw my head back as my orgasm continued. All I could feel was her fingers rubbing my prostate and her mouth on my cock, churning, sucking, licking. I tried to say something, but a croaking sound came out.Suddenly my cock was beyond sensitive, “Please.” I released my knees and held her face, “Please.”“Stop?” She asked for clarification.“Yes.”Hannah climbed up and lay down next to me. She kissed me with closed lips. I grabbed her face and probed my tongue into her salty mouth.She eased off, “That’s cool that you don’t mind kissing me. I had a guy that wouldn’t kiss me after he came in my mouth. By the way, I used what they did in the movie in class. It works.”“Wow, Does it ever.” I blurted out.“Your whole body was shaking.” She told me.“Thank you, Hannah. That was amazing. If you let me recover for a couple minutes, I would love to return the favor.”“Offer accepted,” Hannah said as she swung her leg over me and stared kissing me again.After a few minutes of necking I was ready to go, “Why don’t you lie back and see what I can do for you.”Something told me to hold off on straight licking. I decided to kiss her ear lobes and then went for her nipples. I licked my way across her stomach and stopped at her pubes to breathe in her scent.Her clit was prominent at the top of her slit and her inner labia extended out a little. She had shaved her labia. I lapped up her juices, then moved to her clit.I looked up at Hannah. Her eyes were locked in on me.She whispered, “Maybe not straight, constant licking. Ease up a little from time to time so I don’t get numb.”I followed her advice. Eurythmics was filling the room with a hypnotic spell from ‘Sweet Dreams Are Made of These.'Hannah grabbed her nipples and was rolling them, “Oh, Dan. Oh.” I assumed that was a signal that she was cumming. I probed into her vagina and found her g spot.“Ah.” Hannah’s vagina started contracting. She arched her back and I could hear her panting. She forcibly pressed my forehead away from her crotch. I kept rubbing her g spot.Then Hannah wrapped her legs around my head and began bucking her hips. I took this as some kind of signal to stop.Slowly her body relaxed, “Oh my god. Dan, come up here.”I climbed up next to her.“That was so nice. Let’s climb in under the covers. I want to snuggle with you.”As I held her, I whispered, “I can see why people sleep with each other. This is cozy.”“Very cozy.” I concurred.The mix tape faded to  Sinéad O'Connor sang ‘Nothing Compares 2 U.'  I faded to slumber.Sleeping With HannahAs I emerged from sleep, I sensed a warm body next to me. When I opened my eyes, it was dark. I saw a lighted alarm clock across the room. I tried to place where I was and then I remembered. Hannah.When I emerged from sleep again, the room was light. I lay still, savoring the moment. We lay like spoons. My arm was under Hannah’s head. Her ass was pressed up against me and I had a bit of morning wood. My other hand was on her hip. She felt so silky and soft.After a bit of time, Hannah stirred.She rolled over, “Good morning.”“Good morning, Hannah.”“Is this one of those mythical morning woodies?”“Not mythical. I wake up with one on a regular basis.”“So, it isn’t because of me.”“No, but I have to say that sleeping with you is just short of heavenly.”“Agreed. Shall we start our day?”“I could use a shower.”“So could I. I wish I could take one with you, but the other girls on the floor might be either offended or jealous.”BreakfastOver breakfast, Hannah asked, “So, what do you think about Elizabeth Bennet?”“Elizabeth Bennet? Do I know her?”“From Pride and Prejudice?”“Oh. Yes.” I remembered. “ Kind of early in the book, but I have to say that the situation that her and her sisters are in is horrible.”“Things were not good for women back in jolly old England. I think that’s the 1800s. Or anywhere else for that matter.”“She sounds like someone I would like to know.” I said. “She seems smart, independent. She’s got a very strong will. Probably a lot like you.”Hannah smiled, “Thanks. And you’re still early in the book. What do you think of Jane Austen’s writing?”“Love it. So lyrical.”Friday Masturbation AssignmentOn Friday afternoon, we finally got around to conducting our masturbation assignment. Here is what I wrote for Dr. Miller:My observer was Hannah. She was also my partner as you will see.I positioned myself on my bed so that my partner could observe me. I made sure my legs were such that she could see my anus. By mutual agreement, we were both naked so that I would be aroused by her body. Hannah has a beautiful body. I began pulling on my penis to get it hard. It did not take long given the goddess in front of me. Normally I would use saliva to lubricate myself, but my partner allowed me to use some of her vaginal juice as lubrication. It was much slicker and much more effective.Once I was hard, I stroked myself in the usual manner, focusing on the head of my penis and the sensitive edge. I am circumcised and the scar is a little sensitive as well. My partner asked me to let her know when I was getting close. I focused on her charms and after several minutes, I felt my orgasm approaching. I let my partner know.Hannah slipped two lubricated fingers into my anus and massaged my prostate just like the film we saw in class. The ensuing orgasm was one of the most intense experiences of my life. All my focus centered on my erection and my prostate. As I came, my body began shaking uncontrollably. I shot my load all over my chest. There were three distinct strings of cum, plus a smaller fourth string. Once I shot my load, I stopped stroking myself because of sensitivity, but my partner kept rubbing my prostate and the intense orgasm continued for about 30 seconds.Unlike a regular orgasm, this was much more of a whole-body orgasm. The shaking lasted as long as Hannah rubbed my prostate.Afterwards I was exhausted. We both tasted my semen. It was a little salty and a little musky. My partner thought it tasted a little like mushrooms.Here is Hannah’s submission:I positioned myself on the bed with my legs spread so that my partner (Dan) could observe me. I have a fantasy that I use to arouse myself. I imagine kissing a movie star. Dan said he would sit in for the movie star. Plus, he was naked and in person! He let me run my fingers through his chest hair and hold his penis. After we had been kissing for a while, I thought I was ready. My partner moved back and I began rubbing my clit in my usual way small, quick

Most people pursue things that bring them happiness or pleasure in this lifetime: accomplishments, awards, degrees, rank, money, likes and followers. But at the end of the day, nothing compares to knowing Jesus! In Philippians 3, Paul wrote about all his many accomplishments and accolades that he achieved in his lifetime, but he said it was all “rubbish” (dung) compared to the excellence of knowing Christ! Do you know Jesus? There's a difference between knowing “about” Jesus and knowing Him personally. Pastor Gary explains this in today's study titled, “Nothing Compares to Jesus!”

Great Pop Culture Debate

Pop music in 1990 was a wild experience. New queens of pop like Paula Abdul, Taylor Dayne, and Mariah Carey stood shoulder pad to bustier with 80s ladies Madonna and Janet Jackson. Hip-hop broke into the mainstream in a big way with M.C. Hammer and Vanilla Ice. The last gasps of hair metal still clung to the airwaves like so much AquaNet residue. Club music somehow how found its way onto Top 40 radio stations. And the totally unsubtle vocal stylings of Michael Bolton, Wilson Phillips, and others gave sad white people the confidence they needed to rock high-waisted jeans and pleated khakis. What a time to be alive! So join us as the Great Pop Culture Debate goes back to the beginning of the end of the 20th Century as we name the Best Song of 1990.Songs discussed: “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice; “There She Goes” by The La's; “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode; “Black Velvet” by Alannah Myles; “Groove is in the Heart” by Deee-Lite; “I'm Your Baby Tonight” by Whitney Houston; “We Didn't Start the Fire” by Billy Joel; “Vogue” by Madonna; “U Can't Touch This” by MC Hammer; “Poison” by Bell Biv Devoe; “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Sinead O'Connor; “Freedom ‘90” by George Michael; “Love Shack” by The B-52s; “Rhythm Nation” by Janet Jackson; “Pump Up the Jam” by Technotronic; “Hold On” by Wilson PhillipsJoin host Eric Rezsnyak, Derek Mekita, Jim Czadzeck, and Jonny Minogue as they discuss and debate 16 of the most iconic songs from the year of the final decade of the 20th Century.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional 1990 songs that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

What begins as an exercise in nostalgia turns into a reckoning when Drew discovers his music has been repurposed in ways that contradict its original intent.The film also stars Jessica Reynolds (Kneecap) and Michael Smiley (Bad Sisters), alongside a predominantly Northern Irish cast. Written by Stacey Gregg and based on a short story by Wendy Erskine, Nostalgie explores the intersection of personal vanity, collective memory, and the political afterlife of pop culture.Read more here:www.filmireland.net/podcast-kathryn-ferguson-on-bafta-ifta-nominated-short-nostalgieKathryn FergusonBelfast-born Kathryn is an Emmy-nominated, BIFA and IFTA winning director whose innovative and boundary-pushing documentary work has screened globally.

Conflict is inevitable in long-term relationships. Damage doesn't have to be. In this episode, we explore what actually separates fights that bring couples closer from fights that quietly turn lovers into enemies. We talk about the moment arguments go sideways, why so many conflicts feel bigger than the issue at hand, and how couples can stay on the same team even when they fundamentally disagree. Our guest, Touré Neblett, draws on decades of navigating high-stakes, contentious conversations both publicly and privately to share what he's learned about emotional regulation, repair, and conflict inside a long-term marriage. This conversation focuses on how disagreement can exist without contempt, and how learning to fight differently can fundamentally change the trajectory of a relationship. Important context for listeners: We became aware of a workplace sexual harassment allegation involving our guest, Touré Neblett, from 2017, which he has publicly acknowledged and apologized for. Given the focus of this show, we felt it was important to acknowledge that context.   Follow Touré Website → https://toure.com Toure Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/toureshow/ Instagram YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo-SwvkGbQgDt3oXfASPPJQ youtube.com Podcast → Touré Show (Apple/Spotify) Books → Who's Afraid of Post-Blackness?

No language is as inconsistent in spelling and pronunciation as English. Kernel and colonel rhyme, but read changes based on past or present tense. Ough has many pronunciations: ‘aw’ (thought), ‘ow’ (drought), ‘uff’ (tough), ‘off’ (cough), ‘oo’ (through). In response to this orthographic minefield, legions of rebel wordsmiths have died on the hill of spelling reform, risking their reputations to bring English into the realm of the rational: Mark Twain, Ben Franklin, Eliza Burnz, C. S. Lewis, George Bernard Shaw, Charles Darwin, and the innumerable others on both sides of the Atlantic who, for a time in their life, became fanatically occupied with writing thru instead of through, tho for though, laf for laugh (and tried futilely to get everyone around them to do it too). This began with the “simplified spelling movement” starting with medieval England and continuing to Revolutionary America, from the birth of standup comedy to contemporary pop music, and lasting influence can still be seen in words like color (without a U), plow (without -ugh), and the iconic ’90s ballad “Nothing Compares 2 U.” To explore this history is today’s guest, Gabe Henry, author of “Enough is Enuf, Our Failed Attempts to Make English Easier to Spell.” We look at the past and present of the digital age, where the swift pace of online exchanges (from emojis to social media) now pushes us all 2ward simplification. Simplified spelling may, at last, be having its day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From her close relationship with her mum to her mental health struggles as a teenager, 24-year-old Fiona-Lee from Howden in Yorkshire writes earnestly about the emotional rollercoaster that is adolescence to adulthood.
