Tom Service talks to virtuoso vocalist Bobby McFerrin about the latest chapter in his musical life and his ceaseless creativity. He's been inspiring audiences to make music with him during concerts for decades, and now, following a Parkinson's diagnosis, he is taking this further as he starts to perform live again. Bobby reflects on his early solo shows, the improvisation technique ‘circle singing' which he developed in the 1980s and whether music can really bring peace to the world. Folk musician Mari Kalkun comes to the studio with her kannel, a traditional Estonian plucked string instrument with a long history which plays a central role in much of her music. Mari talks to Tom about her personal and artistic response to the war in Ukraine and how musical activism is now an essential part of her role as an artist. We visit English National Opera to find out more about a new production of Poul Ruders's The Handmaid's Tale, based on Margaret Atwood's seminal novel. Tom is joined by director Annilese Miskimmon, mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey who sings Offred and soprano Emma Bell who sings Aunt Lydia, to explore how the story is being brought to life on stage and why it is a shattering story of our times. Plus conductor and harpsichordist Rinaldo Alessandrini tells us about the irresistible theatrical energy of Vivaldi's 'L'estro armonico' concertos from 1711 and why placing them alongside reworkings by JS Bach on his new recording with his ensemble Concerto Italiano offers a new perspective and a thrilling ride.

Host Geri Cole welcomes THE HANDMAID'S TALE creator, showrunner, writer, and EP Bruce Miller and writer and EP Yahlin Chang to the show to talk about how real-world refugee stories give the show inspiration and guidance, the ways in which writing can be both cruel and cathartic, and how the show encourages everyone—both above and below the line—to bring their A-game. ** - Please note: This episode comes with a spoiler alert as well as a content warning for a discussion of sexual violence against women and other traumatic topics. - **  Bruce Miller is a television writer and producer who, before HANDMAID'S, was well known for his work as showrunner and writer for popular sci-fi series like EUREKA and ALPHAS. For his work on The Handmaid's Tale, Miller won the 2017 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series.

Faced with a world devastated by environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate, the few remaining fertile women are forced into sexual servitude. One of these women, Offred, is determined to survive the terrifying world she lives in, and find the daughter that was taken from her.

Make a resolution that you will keep!  Sanskrit word Sankalpa can be roughly translated as a heartfelt desire, a solemn vow, a positive intention or goal, or a resolve to do something.  Sankalpa channels energy to manifest a goal by enlisting singled-pointed will, determination, and action. In this podcast, I am explaining what is Sankalpa and giving some tips about how to make Sankalpa. You are invited to think about your Sankalpa or intention. Sankalpa needs to be simple, very positive and it needs to be in the present tense.   During Sankalpa yoga sessions, your positive heartfelt intention is set in such a way that it is anchored into our systems. When Sankalpa is set in this way we subconsciously move towards the 'goal'.   Offred via Zoom. follow the link for booking https://sunitayoga.com/product/sankalpa/Dates: 11th January 2022 to 15th January 2022  Timings:  6:30am to 7:30am AEDT  For people in different time zones, these sessions will be recorded and sent to all participantsFollow Sunita on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/sunita_patil/ for up to date Support the show Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sunitayoga)

The quote Annie refers to when speaking to Wendy about her editing style can be found in this 2018 Shoot Online interview: https://www.shootonline.com/news/wendy-hallam-martin-embraces-different-editing-approach-handmaids-tale"This show cuts like no other show I've ever done before...You cut for the emotion. You really have to know where June or Offred's head is a hundred percent of the time... You hang on shots a lot more than you normally would. You don't always cut to reactions. It's hard to put into words. You have to feel it. You have to have a gut reaction as to how it should be cut. You can end up hanging on a closeup most of the time. Or you cut wide. You don't do overlapping dialogue. You throw out what you've learned over the years to show emotion, to help evoke empathy."Wendy and Chris previously spoke about their work editing The Handmaid's Tale in this 2018 Art of the Cut interview: https://www.provideocoalition.com/aotc-handmaid/The Handmaid's Tale has been nominated for a total of 75 Emmy Awards, including 21 Emmy Award nominations in 2021.

I forgot to add that a big issue I take with the Offred leading the charge against everyone hating Ofmatthew, the Black handmaid, is because at no point does anyone call Offred out for her treatment of Ofmatthew. Nobody challenges Offred for this mistreatment, nor call out that she clearly does the opposite for the white handmaid, Ofwarren/Janine. Many of us have been treated like that in real life, so that is another triggering aspect to it. Maybe I won't watch season 4 after all...

When the van door slammed on Offred's future at the end of The Handmaid's Tale, readers had no way of telling what lay ahead for her--freedom, prison or death. With The Testaments, the wait is over. Margaret Atwood's sequel picks up the story more than fifteen years after Offred stepped into the unknown, with the explosive testaments of three female narrators from Gilead. In this brilliant sequel to The Handmaid's Tale, acclaimed author Margaret Atwood answers the questions that have tantalized readers for decades. "Dear Readers: Everything you've ever asked me about Gilead and its inner workings is the inspiration for this book. Well, almost everything! The other inspiration is the world we've been living in." --Margaret Atwood --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

#TheLostTapes We spoke to British Nigerian actor, writer, director O-T Fagbenle, back in February 2020 pre-Lockdown. At the time he was filming season 4 of The Handmaid's Tale where he continues his role as Luke, Offred's husband and father of her daughter pre-Gilead. He'd just been announced as Rick Mason in Marvel's Black Widow and he was getting ready for the release of his Channel 4 comedy show Maxxx which he wrote, exec-produced, and starred in. Because of lockdown Maxxx's release was pushed at the latter end of 2020 - available to watch via https://www.channel4.com/programmes/maxxx (Channel 4 ) The Handmaid's Tale season 4 is complete and will air April 28th 2021 on Hulu Marvel's Black Widow will be released (hopefully in cinemas) May 7th 2021

O romance distópico O conto da aia, de Margaret Atwood, se passa num futuro muito próximo e tem como cenário uma república onde não existem mais jornais, revistas, livros nem filmes. As universidades foram extintas. Também já não há advogados, porque ninguém tem direito a defesa. Os cidadãos considerados criminosos são fuzilados e pendurados mortos no Muro, em praça pública, para servir de exemplo enquanto seus corpos apodrecem à vista de todos. Para merecer esse destino, não é preciso fazer muita coisa – basta, por exemplo, cantar qualquer canção que contenha palavras proibidas pelo regime, como “liberdade”. Nesse Estado teocrático e totalitário, as mulheres são as vítimas preferenciais, anuladas por uma opressão sem precedentes. O nome dessa república é Gilead, mas já foi Estados Unidos da América. As mulheres de Gilead não têm direitos. Elas são divididas em categorias, cada qual com uma função muito específica no Estado. A Offred coube a categoria de aia, o que significa pertencer ao governo e existir unicamente para procriar, depois que uma catástrofe nuclear tornou estéril um grande número de pessoas. E sem dúvida, ainda que vigiada dia e noite e ceifada em seus direitos mais básicos, o destino de uma aia ainda é melhor que o das não-mulheres, como são chamadas aquelas que não podem ter filhos, as homossexuais, viúvas e feministas, condenadas a trabalhos forçados nas colônias, lugares onde o nível de radiação é mortífero.

This week, Jayna decided to make Aarika's anxiety skyrocket a few planets. Let's dive into The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood!In Margaret Atwood’s dystopian future, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War. The result is the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of Gilead’s commanders. Deprived of her husband, her child, her freedom, and even her own name, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive. At once a scathing satire, an ominous warning, and a tour de force of narrative suspense, The Handmaid’s Tale is a modern classic.Thanks for listening!To purchase the book, https://amzn.to/3sGP64ITo support the show (a.k.a the girl's reading habit), visit https://www.patreon.com/twobluestockingsWe make candles inspired by our books: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TwoBluestockingsOur Merch: https://www.redbubble.com/people/2bluestockings/shop?asc=uFind us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/TwoBlueStockingsSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/twobluestockings)Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/twobluestockings)

In this episode of the LoveChat Podcast, the ladies discuss “The Love of. . .Handmaid's Tale. . .Season 3 Wrap UP.  The ladies weigh in on what they liked, didn't like, and what they would like to see happen in season 4. The ladies also discuss how the Handmaid's Tale parallels to what is happening in the U.S. in 2019.  If you watched season 3 of the Handmaid's Tale let the ladies know what you thought about the season, and give them your predictions for season 4.

We have just watched episode 12, which is called "Postpartum". June becomes Offred once more, and negotiates access to Holly. Nick (yes, he's back!) is rocked by Gilead's brutal response to a crime. Emily is assigned to a mysterious new house. We meet a new character, and we say goodbye to another one in very dramatic circumstances, and yes, those circumstances bring with them another Gilead ritual. We also have some very big news about an upcoming guest on our show.

We have just watched episode 11, which is called Holly. As Serena and Fred deal with the fallout of their actions towards ‘Offred' and we get a glimpse at the cracks in their facade, June faces a series of grueling challenges, alone, as she recalls her experiences as a mother. The episode culminates in an incredible scene and please just give Elisabeth Moss her Emmy right now.

We discuss episode 5 of The Handmaid's Tale 'Seeds' and the disturbing baby shower behaviour that took place in this week's installment. The lack of empathy surrounding Offred, her spirits broken after significant setbacks, reverberates deeply as she looks to find her inner June once more. A creepy wedding only further complicates matters.

We discuss episode 4 of The Handmaid's Tale and reflect on Aunt Lydia's skills shaming runaway June into becoming dutiful Offred once more. We contemplate the bizarre rituals of Gilead designed to break down and subjugate women, and desperately search for some light in this grim development for our heroine.

Jakob and Jim check back in to finish out the first season of The Handmaid’s Tale! Does the ending deliver? How does it stack up against the book and does the book give us any hints of season 2? What does the style and look of the show mean? Is voice over a lazy crutch!?... The post What Happens To Offred? | Handmaid's Tale Season 1 Wrap Up first appeared on Shows What You Know.

This week, we have stories about immigrants facing misunderstandings and confusion in their interactions with the criminal justice system. Plus, the popular Hulu series “The Handmaid’s Tale” prompts us to look back at the New England Puritan culture that provided the underpinnings for Margaret Atwood’s dystopia. And we take in nature’s bounty at one of New England’s underappreciated destinations: Long Island Sound. Women dressed like “handmaids” — fertile women forced into sexual slavery in the Hulu drama “The Handmaid’s Tale” — ascend the steps of the New Hampshire statehouse on June 1 to protest a bill that would define a fetus as a person in cases of homicide. Photo by Casey McDermott for NHPR Charged We've been following the stories of immigrants to New England who face obstacles while trying to navigate the American law enforcement and criminal justice system. New Hampshire Public Radio’s Emily Corwin is following the story of Joyce Chance, a refugee from the Congo, who's now out on bail after spending three weeks in jail for charges of child abuse. The state says she's a danger to her community, but many in that community disagree. As Emily reports, cultural misunderstandings and language barriers are getting in the way. Jose Flores speaks to WBUR about the events leading up to his arrest by federal immigration agents with his wife Rosa Benitez. Photo by Jesse Costa for WBUR A felony, or even a lesser conviction, could get a refugee like Chance sent out of the country. But what if you're in the country illegally, and don't have a criminal record? What if the biggest mark against you is an accident you had on the job? Jose Flores, a Honduran immigrant living in Massachusetts, fractured his femur in March when he fell from a ladder at a Boston construction site. After Flores filed for worker’s compensation, a manager at the construction company that employed him asked for a meeting. Just after the meeting, Flores was apprehended by ICE. WBUR's Shannon Dooling has been following his story — and what it tells us about the new realities of undocumented workers during the Trump administration.

There, it feeds algae, which reduces oxygen in the water, killing off fish and other marine life in a condition called hypoxia. Nitrogen pollution, among other factors, has contributed to the Sound’s less-than-glowing reputation among the region’s waterways. The good news is the overall health of Long Island Sound is improving. Since the EPA implemented a nitrogen reduction program in 2001, hypoxia has decreased by 40 percent, and fish and marine mammals that had been absent or struggling for decades are coming back.

Photo by Ryan Caron King for NEXT But while oxygen levels improve, sea level rise and warming waters are causing other changes to the Sound that are much more difficult to reverse. Author Patrick Lynch provides a snapshot of these changes, as well as beautiful illustrations of birds, fish and the variety of habitats along the shore in his new Field Guide to Long Island Sound. We caught up with Lynch at beautiful Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison, Connecticut. The Handmaid’s Tale and the Puritans New England is both the literal and symbolic the setting of “The Handmaid's Tale,” the hit Hulu drama starring Elisabeth Moss as Offred, a young woman forced into sexual slavery in a dystopian near-future. In the series, the United States has been overthrown and replaced by an oppressive new country called Gilead. The patriarchal leaders have used the near total collapse of fertility in the country to institute a kind of theocracy. The handmaids, including Offred, are women who are still fertile. The series is based on the  eponymous novel by Margaret Atwood, written in 1985 as a response to the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the rise of the Christian right in the United States. With the launch of the Hulu series in April, many have reflected on the series as a commentary on the current political moment. In recent months, women dressed in handmaids’ red cloaks and white bonnets have shown up at state houses to protest legislation that would restrict abortion or grant person-hood to fetuses. But here at NEXT, we were curious about the story’s connections to New England's Puritan past. In Atwood's new introduction to the book, she writes: “The Republic of Gilead is built on a foundation of the 17th-century Puritan roots that have always lain beneath the modern-day America we thought we knew.” An illustration depicting the execution of Ann Hibbins for witchcraft on Boston Common in 1656. Public hanging is a common punishment in the Handmaid’s Tale. Sketch by F.T. Merril, 1886. Atwood has said that her setting for the book was inspired by the time she spent as a graduate student at Radcliffe College in Cambridge, then the women's counterpart to Harvard. She dedicated the novel to Perry Miller, a Harvard scholar of American Puritans with whom she studied, and also to Mary Webster, a Massachusetts woman who was hanged for witchcraft and survived — and may have been one of Atwood's ancestors. So how closely does the dystopia of “The Handmaid's Tale” reflect the utopia the Puritans attempted to create on these shores? For answers, we turn to two historians who have studied women, sexuality, and religion in 17th Century New England. Rebecca Tannenbaum is a Senior Lecturer of History at Yale, and Kathy Cooke is a professor of History at Quinnipiac University. About NEXT NEXT is produced at WNPR.
