Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne conversation entre Timothé Guillotin et Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 16 mai 2025.Dans ce troisième épisode, Timothé Guillotin revient sur la création du prix du roman non publié, qui attire dès sa première édition plus de 500 manuscrits, en littérature blanche comme en littérature noire. Il insiste sur l'importance, pour les auteurs, de bien cibler les maisons d'édition avant d'envoyer leur texte, défend une ligne éditoriale ouverte à des romans qui sortent des sentiers battus, permettant à sa jeune maison de se démarquer des grandes structures par la créativité plutôt que par la notoriété. Il évoque également la collaboration avec David Baverez, dont le livre, publié dans des délais très courts pour des raisons de promotion, a bénéficié d'une écoute et d'une réactivité que l'auteur aurait eu des difficultés à trouver ailleurs.Il évoque les enjeux logistiques et commerciaux de l'édition, en particulier la distribution. Il raconte le parcours des éditions Novice, d'un premier partenariat avec un diffuseur indépendant à la collaboration actuelle avec Geodif, du groupe Eyrolles, rendue possible grâce aux premiers succès de la maison. Il souligne l'importance des campagnes en ligne et des réseaux sociaux pour atteindre un large public avec un petit budget. Il revient aussi sur un paradoxe du métier : beaucoup souhaitent être publiés, mais peu lisent. Pour lui, tout repose sur la capacité à aller chercher les lecteurs et à susciter leur curiosité. Il insiste sur l'intérêt d'être parmi les premiers sur un sujet pour créer l'événement. Enfin, il dresse un aperçu de l'équipe : six associés, une vingtaine de prestataires, et dix livres publiés en 2024, dont six essais et quatre romans.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

In May 2025, Sarah Ruggins made history.She became the fastest person to cycle from John O'Groats to Land's End and back, covering the 1,677-mile route in an astonishing 5 days, 11 hours, and 14 minutes.Sarah didn't just smash the women's record - she claimed the outright record.But what makes her achievement all the more extraordinary is everything she had to overcome to get there.Just over two years earlier, she had barely ridden a bike. Before that, she spent years recovering from a debilitating illness that stripped her of her physical strength and sense of identity. And yet, through grit, precision, and an unshakeable mindset, she transformed herself from a complete novice into one of the most elite endurance cyclists in the world.This episode is about more than athletic achievement, it's a story of what happens when you set an audacious goal, back it with discipline, and believe that setbacks are just the start of something greater.Follow Sarah: https://www.instagram.com/sarah_ruggins/Mentioned in the Podcast:The Bike Project: https://thebikeproject.co.uk/Bikes for Refugees: https://www.bikesforrefugees.scot/Support the podcast: Get a whopping 65% off your first Gousto box at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.gousto.co.uk/raf/?promo_code=TOM42277653⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get in contact:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tombryanyeah/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/greatbritishadventurespodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.threads.net/@tombryanyeah

A published poet, author of “Novice”, and mom, Nida Sophrasarun talks about how her poetry is influenced by her family on two ends: on one end, it was her family's inability to communicate emotions that lead her to finding her voice in poetry. On the other end, the birth of her son lead her to finding herself again through writing. Nida talks about her Thai mom Kobkua, “a tiger”, as Nida describes her, from whom Nida learned important lessons, in spite of their challenging relationship. Nida talks about showing love and connecting through food; about the solace of mysticism; about finding her unique voice; and understanding what really belongs to us - and what is just an illusion. Nida also read her poem "Starling" for us. To order Nida's book of poems "Novice", go here.  You can read Nida's beautiful poem Violent Femmes here.

They're back! And I don't mean the Novice and Nostalgic. The YinzBoyz return on this episode of A Good Squeeze to discuss our viewing of the classic “Austin Powers in Goldmember”. From skin flakes to trivia, this conversation truly determined who among us were the truly nostalgics.

Gwenda, short for Gwendoline, convinced her father to let her go into the circus as long as she got an official job or "booking." She did not want to get a traditional job such as working in the postal service, as her father had dreamed she'd do.Gwenda and her mother were very very close but unfortunately her mother died way too early.In spite of her parents, Gwenda became a Catholic. She fell in love with Stephen's father who was Italian and catholic.Well he had already abandoned the Catholic church by the time they met, but she was certain she could convince this enthusiastic atheist to come back to the church.  And she was a success on both fronts. Stephen did not enjoy his experience being raised in the Catholic church and schools. As a young boy Stephen struggles with anxiety, stealing from local vendors, fights and more. Gwenda was a storyteller and that's one of manny gifts she gave to Stephen. Years later when Stephen was teaching Mindfulness lessons she came to some of his teachings.Stephen left home in order to find himself. This journey had experiences of exploring Catholicism, Marxism, drugs, Buddhism, Mindfulness, compassion and more.Years later while raising her children, Gwenda used the expression "never mind"  when Stephen would come to her hurt or upset. She was say "never mind" and offer a smile and have them move on. Stephen was looking for more than that from his mother.My guest trained as a Buddhist Monk in the Tibetan tradition for eight years. To this day he still uses and teaches his practice and he enjoys applying his practice to real life situations and can help others without them knowing it's a Buddhist technique.  I was looking for something but more importantly I was leaving behind stuff, everything," Stephen explains. Stephen asked his mother years later, why she hadn't protected him more from his father when he was younger . "She was angry at me for asking that, she was angry at herself. She thought she'd done what she could. She was protecting herself as well."After reading Stephan's first draft of his book, "The Novice, Why I Became a Buddhist Monk", Gwenda said  "Don't you think it would have been nice if we'd listened to you a little more when you were young?" Stephen got very emotional. Their relationship changed so much for the better after that. She was acknowledging that they could have done more. That was what I wanted to hear.Gwenda had a big heart. Bio:Stephen has a fascinating story that could offer a unique perspective. His journey, shaped by both his mother and his unconventional upbringing, has deeply influenced his life and work. Growing up in a challenging environment, Stephen learned lessons from his family and from overcoming obstacles, which he now shares through his coaching and mindfulness framework. His story isn't just about overcoming adversity but also about the lessons learned along the way, including how his relationship with his family, especially his mother, shaped his journey to becoming a Buddhist monk and later a TEDx speaker.I believe his experiences of both struggling with and learning from his upbringing would provide a heartfelt and insightful conversation for your listeners, touching on themes of resilience, personal growth, and how those early life lessons shaped the person he is today.BOOKS:The Novice-Why I Became a Buddhist Monk, Why I Quit & What I Learned By Stephen SchettiniIt Begins Silence-the art of mindful reflection-Al Practical Guide to Meditation based on the teachings of theHistorical Buddha By Stephen Schettini Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the.innermonk/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/stephen.schettini.3/LinkedIn:www.linkedin.com/in/schettiniYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@theinnermonkX: Stephen SchettiniWEBSITE: THEINNERMONK.COM (https://schettini.com/) "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Fluent Fiction - Dutch: From Garden Novice to Tulip Star: Sanne's Accidental Triumph Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2025-03-20-22-34-01-nl Story Transcript:Nl: Het was een zonnige lentedag toen Sanne, Bram en Inge de Keukenhof bezochten.En: It was a sunny spring day when Sanne, Bram, and Inge visited the Keukenhof.Nl: Overal bloeiden tulpen in felle kleuren.En: Everywhere, tulips bloomed in bright colors.Nl: De lucht rook zoet en de bezoekers liepen lachend langs de prachtige bloemenvelden.En: The air smelled sweet and the visitors walked happily along the beautiful flower fields.Nl: Sanne, met haar liefde voor tuinieren, hoopte inspiratie op te doen.En: Sanne, with her love for gardening, hoped to get some inspiration.Nl: Maar diep van binnen voelde ze zich onzeker over haar tuinierkunsten.En: But deep down, she felt insecure about her gardening skills.Nl: Bram had zijn camera meegenomen.En: Bram had brought his camera.Nl: Hij genoot van het moment en klikte onafgebroken foto's van de kleurrijke tulpen.En: He enjoyed the moment and clicked photos of the colorful tulips without stopping.Nl: Inge had andere plannen.En: Inge had other plans.Nl: Ze was altijd in voor een uitdaging en had gehoord van een speciaal evenement dat dag: een tulpenkostuumwedstrijd.En: She was always up for a challenge and had heard of a special event that day: a tulip costume contest.Nl: Terwijl ze langs een groot bord met details van de wedstrijd liepen, raakte niemand in de groep zich bewust dat Sanne's naam per ongeluk was opgeschreven als deelneemster.En: As they walked past a large sign with details of the contest, no one in the group realized that Sanne's name had accidentally been written down as a participant.Nl: Inge lachte en zei: "Zou dat niets voor jou zijn, Sanne?"En: Inge laughed and said, "Wouldn't that be something for you, Sanne?"Nl: Sanne schudde haar hoofd.En: Sanne shook her head.Nl: "Ik ben hier voor de bloemen, niet om mezelf voor schut te zetten," lachte ze.En: "I'm here for the flowers, not to make a fool of myself," she laughed.Nl: Doch toen de wedstrijd begon, klonk er een stem door de luidsprekers.En: But when the contest began, a voice sounded through the loudspeakers.Nl: "De eerste deelnemer, Sanne, kan zich nu voorbereiden!"En: "The first participant, Sanne, can now prepare!"Nl: Sanne's gezicht werd rood.En: Sanne's face turned red.Nl: Bram keek verbaasd, maar lachte ook en zei: "Misschien is het de kans om je creativiteit te tonen!"En: Bram looked surprised but also laughed and said, "Maybe it's a chance to show your creativity!"Nl: Sanne wist niet wat te doen.En: Sanne didn't know what to do.Nl: Ze had niets om aan te trekken dat leek op een tulp.En: She had nothing to wear that resembled a tulip.Nl: Maar toen dacht ze aan de materialen rondom haar.En: But then she thought of the materials around her.Nl: Met Inge's snelle hulp pakte ze enkele kleurrijke sjaals en bloemenversieringen die ze bij de kraampjes kocht.En: With Inge's quick help, she grabbed some colorful scarves and floral decorations that she bought at the stalls.Nl: Met vlugge handen creëerde Sanne een tulpachtig kostuum.En: With swift hands, Sanne created a tulip-like costume.Nl: De sjaals wikkelde ze als bloemblaadjes om haar heen, en de versieringen maakten het geheel af.En: She wrapped the scarves around her like petals and the decorations completed the look.Nl: Toen het haar beurt was, liep ze nerveus het podium op.En: When it was her turn, she walked nervously onto the stage.Nl: De andere deelnemers droegen kostuums die er professioneel uitzagen, maar Sanne straalde iets speciaals uit: originaliteit.En: The other participants wore costumes that looked professional, but Sanne exuded something special: originality.Nl: Het publiek applaudisseerde uitbundig, en de jury was onder de indruk van haar improvisatietalent.En: The audience applauded enthusiastically, and the jury was impressed by her improvisational talent.Nl: Tot haar verbazing won Sanne de prijs voor "Meest Creatieve Kostuum."En: To her surprise, Sanne won the prize for "Most Creative Costume."Nl: Die ervaring gaf Sanne het vertrouwen dat ze nodig had.En: That experience gave Sanne the confidence she needed.Nl: Ze realiseerde zich dat haar liefde voor tuinieren niet per se perfectie hoefde te betekenen.En: She realized that her love for gardening didn't necessarily have to mean perfection.Nl: Met nieuwe ideeën keerde ze huiswaarts, klaar om haar tuin een frisse start te geven.En: With new ideas, she returned home, ready to give her garden a fresh start.Nl: Sanne had misschien per ongeluk deelgenomen aan de wedstrijd, maar het resultaat was dat ze haar passie met meer zelfvertrouwen voortzette.En: Sanne may have joined the contest by accident, but the result was that she continued her passion with more confidence.Nl: Ze glimlachte en keek op naar de Keukenhof, met een hoofd vol nieuwe plannen en een hart vol moed.En: She smiled and looked up at the Keukenhof, with a head full of new plans and a heart full of courage.

Today is the Vernal Equinox. We're promised incremental victories of light. But early spring is no darling — not here in the high desert. Here, she can be chafing and mercurial; she can show up in sputtering, immature fits and freezes; in mean winds that would cut down the most tender and flower-faced among us without reason.Earlier this week, the sky howled and turned the color of mud at mid-day. Cell phones blared out public safety warnings. Dust agitated at every seam.What's a nervous system to do? Have mercy on the tender-hearted, Lord — on the dream of apricots and cherries, and the boy at school pickup who is rubbing and rubbing his nose against the back of his chapped hand.Like you, I am learning to find refuge. I am learning to take shelter in the soft aliveness of my body; remembering in adulthood what came so easily and imaginatively to my younger self — how to build a fort, how to tuck into a small world of my own making.So, I gather a reading light, a ball of yarn, knitting needles, and a poetry collection, and I tent a wool blanket over my head to hole up for the duration.One thing I know for sure is how a poem can serve like the keel of a boat, offering stability and resistance against sideways forces. A poem — a few words that, when linked together at an angle just so, can carry us into and beyond their meaning. And so it is with this needfulness, under a blanket in my living room, that I come to Wordsworth's “Lines Written in Early Spring,” a meditation he wrote in 1798 on the joyful, interwoven consciousness of nature — a “thousand blended notes” of birdsong — and humanity's grievous failure to remember its place under the canopy of all things.In the grove where the speaker sits, twigs “spread out their fan,” flowers “enjoy the air,” and Nature, personified, is a force with a “holy plan.” But human beings, the speaker laments, have lost the splendrous sensibilities of spring: “If such be Nature's holy plan / Have I not reason to lament / What man has made of man?”It occurs to me that man has done many good things with his hands. I am thinking now of a live performance of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2, or the sweater that Wendy-from-the-yarn-shop just masterfully knitted, or the perfectly packaged mini-waffles my friend Ted brought back from a recent trip to Japan.But much of the time, we get things at least half-wrong. Like seed-creatures, we struggle to find our way upward through hard ground. We move too quickly, unaware of our conditions, and make mistakes. We forget to pause and remember the purpose of our unearthing. And we forget the interweave, the garden of our original belonging.So, I'm teaching myself how to knit. Novice that I am, it's awkward work. It's near-in. I tink (a new word for me, a semordnilap that refers to the act of un-stitching) almost as often as I knit. I struggle to position my hands, to maintain the right angle, I poke around and lose count and then I have to begin again.And in all this seeming progress and unraveling, as I return to mistakes embedded long ago, a new pattern — peaceful and even elegant — is steadily emerging. Oh, nervous system, dear friend. I am un-stitching and stitching myself back together again. I am braiding threads of myself into an artwork of my own making, which is weaving me back into something greater than my own making. And when the thing is ready, I will hold it up in wonder. I will hold it to my cheek.Together, we are making sense of being human in an era of radical change. Your presence here matters.
