Omnibus (1968) BBC - Oh Whistle and I'll come to you

¿Son realmente libres nuestras opiniones o nos movemos dentro de una autopista ideológica perfectamente delimitada? Hoy analizamos las llamadas palabras talismán y palabras malditas, etiquetas que actúan como armas de descalificación automática para inhibir la crítica y silenciar al disidente. Desde la patologización con el sufijo fóbico hasta el uso del término fascista como reductio ad hitlerum, desgranamos cómo el lenguaje se utiliza para imponer una agenda oficial y aniquilar el debate abierto. •Más allá de la censura, exploramos las tácticas para romper este sistema de control. A través de la ridiculización y la argumentación lógica, buscamos recuperar el derecho a pensar fuera del mainstream, analizando cómo el péndulo de la opinión pública intenta orillar a quienes se atreven a cuestionar el discurso dominante.

Phil returns to The Cole Memo for a wide-ranging conversation about cannabis policy from a consumer perspective. We discuss Illinois' newly passed cannabis omnibus, questions surrounding dispensary ownership caps and consolidation, continued restrictions on home grow, cannabis possession limits, and whether the latest reforms actually do enough for consumers. We also discuss the uncertain future of hemp, THC beverages entering mainstream retailers and venues, cannabis surveillance, Michigan's market, and what the next cannabis policy fight in Illinois might look like.

In Episode 165 nehmen Holger und Joerg mehrere aktuelle Entwicklungen im europäischen Datenschutz unter die Lupe. Zu Gast ist Prof. Alexander Golland, der seit August an der Hochschule Osnabrück zum Recht der Informationsgesellschaft, zum Datenschutz und zum Schutz geistigen Eigentums lehrt. Zuerst geht es um ein Bußgeld der italienischen Datenschutzbehörde Garante gegen die US-Firma Character Technologies. Deren Chatbot-Plattform Character.AI erlaubt es Nutzern, mit virtuellen Charakteren zu kommunizieren, von Mafia-Bossen bis zu simulierten Psychotherapeuten. Die Behörde monierte intransparente Datenschutzhinweise, fehlende italienische Übersetzungen, unklare Rechtsgrundlagen und mangelhaften Jugendschutz. Mit 158.000 Euro fiel die Strafe angesichts massiver Vorwürfe und tragischer Fälle in den USA, bei denen Jugendliche nach Chatbot-Interaktionen Suizid begingen, aus Sicht der Diskutanten eher milde aus. Ein weiteres zentrales Thema ist der transatlantische Datenverkehr. Der US Supreme Court hat entschieden, dass der US-Präsident Mitglieder der Federal Trade Commission (FTC) auch ohne schwerwiegende Verfehlungen entlassen darf. Die FTC gilt damit nicht mehr als unabhängige Behörde. Da die Handelsaufsicht eine Rolle im Data Privacy Framework (DPF) spielt, sorgte das für Aufregung. Alexander beruhigt jedoch: Der Europäische Gerichtshof (EuGH) habe sich beim Kippen des Vorgänger-Abkommens Privacy Shield weniger an der FTC als am fehlenden Rechtsschutz gegen US-Geheimdienste gestört. Kritischer wäre es, würde auch das Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) als abhängig eingestuft. Unternehmen empfiehlt er dennoch, Standarddatenschutzklauseln als Fallback-Option vorzubereiten, allerdings mit aufschiebender Bedingung, um bestehende Haftungsregelungen nicht auszuhebeln. Zwei aktuelle Entscheidungen des EuGH bringen einige Klarstellungen in Sachen DSGVO-Auslegung. Im Fall eines niedersächsischen Haustechnikbetriebs ging es um Daten aus einem privaten eBay-Konto, die möglicherweise auf unzulässigem Weg beschafft worden waren. Der EuGH schließt ihre Verwendung als Beweis nicht grundsätzlich aus. Gerichte müssen aber selbst prüfen, ob sie die Daten verwenden dürfen und ob sie damit die Rechte der betroffenen Person zu stark verletzen. Im zweiten Fall prüfte der EuGH eine öffentlich zugängliche Liste der österreichischen Anti-Doping-Agentur. Darin standen Namen, Sportarten, Verstöße und Sperrzeiten. Die bloße Information, dass jemand gedopt hat, gilt dem Urteil zufolge nicht automatisch als Gesundheitsinformation. Anders kann es aussehen, wenn die konkrete Substanz oder ihre Anwendung Rückschlüsse auf eine Erkrankung zulässt. Die Veröffentlichung kann zwar dem Schutz des fairen Sports dienen, muss aber angemessen bleiben und Besonderheiten einzelner Fälle berücksichtigen. Zum Schluss fällt in der Podcast-Episode der Blick auf den geplanten "Digital-Omnibus", mit dem die EU ihre Datenschutz- und Digitalregeln vereinfachen will. Sinnvolle Vorschläge wie eine gemeinsame Meldestelle für Datenschutz- und IT-Sicherheitsvorfälle treffen auf alte Konflikte um Cookies, personalisierte Werbung und Browser-Signale gegen Tracking. Parlament und Mitgliedstaaten liegen bei zentralen Punkten auseinander. Alexander rechnet deshalb höchstens mit einem "Reförmchen", vorausgesetzt, die Verhandler Rat, Parlament und Kommission klammern die besonders umstrittenen Cookie-Regeln aus.

This omnibus slipped through the cracks somehow. Sorry. So here it is - and it's for the infamous The Gunfighters, which has, as its advocate, the son of one of the leading guest stars : which is a lovely touch.

This week, the discussion centres on several significant developments across the machinima community, from community news and preservation of machinima history to new creative tools and the future of filmmaking platforms. The strongest recurring theme is how classic machinima practices are re-emerging through contemporary game engines and software, suggesting a renewed interest in machinima as a creative medium.The episode opens with a tribute to Mike Joyce, longtime collaborator of Kate Fosk and member of the Moviestorm-era machinima community. The hosts reflect on his generosity, his contribution to Machinima Expo productions, and the supportive nature of earlier online machinima communities.The panel discusses a PC Gamer feature covering a GTA V filmmaker who is livestreaming their production process.Halo Campaign Evolved and the Return of "Machinima Mode" - we examine Microsoft's remake of the original Halo, noting the inclusion of an officially branded Machinima Mode. The conversation broadens into a discussion of machinima history. Tracy observes that the remake is more than nostalgia—it is introducing machinima to third- and fourth-generation creators, demonstrating how enduring the medium has become.Ricky argues that Red vs. Blue legitimised machinima as entertainment, while Damien explains how watching the series inspired his own filmmaking career. The discussion concludes with an invitation for creators to use Halo creatively rather than simply reproducing Red vs. Blue.Tiny Bookshop - a lighter discussion follows around the success of Tiny Bookshop.State of Unreal 2026 - Phil highlights a technical demonstration from Unreal Engine featuring highly detailed urban environments. The conversation highlights how production values in virtual filmmaking continue to approach traditional film set design.Reallusion AI Studio and Free iClone Personal Edition - we discusses Reallusion's biggest software announcement. Tracy suggests that Reallusion may be moving toward an Unreal-style ecosystem, where the software becomes a gateway to a scalable marketplace rather than the primary revenue source. We agree that making professional animation software freely available could significantly expand the machinima community.Phil introduces the free personal version of Massive, the crowd simulation software used in The Lord of the Rings. The segment ends humorously with Ricky imagining an absurd "massive household" comedy requiring crowd simulation simply to go shopping.The major themes across the Episode are summarized as -Remembering and celebrating machinima pioneers.Evidence that machinima continues to influence commercial game development.Lowering technical barriers for new creators.Free creative software and accessible production pipelines.Preservation of machinima history while encouraging new generations.The continuing importance of storytelling over technology.Key Timestamps -01:00 Tribute to Mike Joyce03:57 GTA V filmmaking livestreams05:40 Halo Campaign Evolved announced06:20 Machinima Mode, Red vs. Blue, Halo's legacy and new creators14:06 Tiny Bookshop discussion18:51 State of Unreal 2026 technology showcase20:40 Reallusion AI Studio and iClone Personal Edition29:17 Massive crowd simulation software becomes free33:15 Closing remarksCredits -Co-hosts: Phil Rice, Ricky Grove, Damien Valentine, Tracy HarwoodProducer: Damien ValentineEditor: Phil RiceMusic: Phil Rice & Suno AI

¿Es posible que existan miles de millones de dólares perdidos en presupuestos negros destinados a proyectos que escapan a cualquier control democrático? Hoy analizamos las tesis de Catherine Austin Fitts sobre la existencia de una élite separada y el desarrollo de tecnología exótica. Exploramos la realidad de las bases subterráneas y la posible influencia de una inteligencia artificial en la arquitectura de un orden global que trasciende fronteras. •Más allá de la conspiración, desgranamos cómo el complejo militar-industrial y los intereses financieros convergen en una estructura de poder que opera en paralelo a los gobiernos. Un viaje al fondo de los mecanismos de control que definen nuestra era, desde el legado de Eisenhower hasta la gestión de los flujos de información en el siglo XXI.

Which is more foreboding, Katchoo and David re-entering a life of crime or Francine facing marriage to a doctor who looks like Freddy?      

Pull out your opera glasses because Anna Russell is here to poke some good natured fun at all things operatic. After realizing she didn't have the chops to be a true diva, Anna pivoted and merged her admirable singing voice with some sly and sharp parody of the art form. Through a series of albums and one-woman shows, Anna was a favorite of opera fans (at least ones with a sense of humor) from the 1940s through her retirement in the 1980s. Her major claim to fame was a very funny deconstruction of Wagner's the Ring. And what did Anna say to critics who said she had insulted a great piece of music. Just this: "I merely tell the story as accurately as possible and play the bits of music exactly as written. I can't help it if the story is absurd." As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows. Want more Anna Russell? Anna's main claim to fame was her fabulous take down of Wagner's Ring. First released in 1953, the routine remained a mainstay of her act for the rest of her career. https://youtu.be/Us6CrJzJlIc?si=Ftv-OfPJv8lt0UuB Here Anna parodies folk tunes on the wonderful Alistair Cooke show Omnibus. Somehow TV was more adventurous in the 1950s! https://youtu.be/UQ4IdPB_aFE?si=nQ9DaGtjZkOOPu0y Like fellow musical parodist PDQ Bach, Anna had fun discussing the ins and outs of unusual musical instruments.

Happy Quatermass Day. 73 years ago precisely (hopefully this will be released at the exact minute) Episode One of The Quatermass Experiment was broadcast, changing TV, and science-fiction, forever. This week, your host's book on the making of the serial, published last year by Ten Acre Books, enjoyed yet another print run and is available direct from the publisher. And so it seems appropriate to package the two commentaries that were broadcast to coincide with the launch of the book last year into a feature-length omnibus, along with a new introduction which brings news in book two plus a brand new coda, recorded today, with some bonus material in which favorite things from Episodes 3, 4, 5 and 6 are chosen.   Please support these podcasts on Patreon, where you will get advance releases, exclusive content (including a patron-only podcast - Far Too Much Information), regular AMAs and more.

On this week's episode of The Literary Life, we continue our series of replays from our Summer of the Short Story with a discussion of "The Celestial Omnibus" by E. M. Forster. Angelina and Cindy tell why they love this short story so much and how it encapsulates their own ideas about literature. Thomas gives us some biographical background on E. M. Forster. We get a brief look at the plot of the story, as well as some discussion of how allegorical Forster makes this story. Angelina highlights the idea presented in "The Celestial Omnibus" that what we see in fairy land is more real than what we see in our own world. Other themes our hosts bring up include modern educational theory, wonder and innocence, using poetry versus enjoying it, and literary critique contrasted with experiencing literature. Their conversation hinges around the contrast between Mr. Bons' pride and pretension and the boy's humility and sincerity. This story embodies everything that The Literary Life podcast is all about, so we hope you enjoy both the story and this episode! To get the replay of Thomas' webinar on How to Love Poetry, as well as the current and upcoming summer classes mentioned in this episode, please visit HouseofHumaneLetters.com.

Jason and Rosie are here to get you prepped for Christopher Nolan's upcoming epic, The Odyssey. They breakdown the details of the film including how Nolan got the project, the IMAX and 70mm formats, the script and the cast. They then cover some of the backlash aimed at the film including some of the casting decisions and a perceived lack of history accuracy in the costumes and accents. To close, Jason opens up the Omnibus to discuss if Homer actually existed and how this epic story was shared and transformed over the centuries.

What's an omnibus? What's an archer? This week's program kicks off with the theme to BBC Radio 4's The Archers Omnibus, a song that pumps up Kerry and Barry at the start of every week. The Archers, which is celebrating it's 75th anniversary this year, also happens to be the longest running serial in the world. This radio drama which takes place in rural England has become routine listening for Kerry and Barry the last couple years. They comment on the show's impressive sound design, how it tackles issues such as race and class, and how the plotlines mirror real life. Though Kerry has always loved TV, radio dramas like this appeal to her these days with her vision lessening because they give her brain a break from the visual stimuli. We wrap up this mixed bag month discussing the varying quality of audio description out there. Brian comments on the AD for Running Point as voiced by friend Nefertiti Matos Olivares comparing it to that of the new King of the Hill season. This is an excellent example demonstrating how important it is to blend into a show as an audio describer, without trying to sound like your own character. We also put out a call for donations to The Pacific Training Centre for the Blind as unfortunately a grant they rely on wasn't approved this year. We've spoke of them on this show a lot, outlining how essential centres like this are where blind people share their lived experience with other blind people to help with independent living. Donate here: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/blindstewards/ To finish off, we hop back on The Archers Omnibus and head to the Academic Archers Conference in Birmingham. Kerry and Barry had been planning to go to this for months and as luck would have it, they were sick, but still took the trek. They share about accessibility including the cab driver walking them for 5 minutes into the airport as there was no accessible drop off close to it. Workers from the hotel they stayed at offered to guide them to the conference centre during the weekend event. There were volunteers at the conference that helped them with the food as a buffet lunch isn't the most convenient for blind people. They share about the papers and panels presented. One of the actors from the show, Ryan Kelly, who also happens to be blind was there. Another great example of representation, a blind person playing a character in a show that isn't blind. They briefly got to meet him, though the exchange was awkward, showing just because someone is also blind it doesn't mean we immediately connect with them. Though Barry also met an attendee who is blind and they had much more time to chat as they were at the same table during the banquet while Ryan Kelly was on his way out. And the big highlight for them was sitting in a giant meeting room with everyone at the conference on the Sunday morning, listening live to The Archers Omnibus together. This was a one-of-a-kind, shared experience with all of the show's quirky and nerdy fans.

Andy presents a special Skinwalker Ranch omnibus, bringing together interviews from the That UFO Podcast archive recorded between June 2020 and 2022. Featuring conversations with Thomas Winterton, Dragon, Travis Taylor, Brandon Fugal and more, this collection explores the people, stories, science and mystery behind one of the most famous paranormal hotspots in the world.

Today we welcome Brian Haberlin for a deep dive into his remarkable career as an artist, writer, innovator, and publisher. We start the conversation by shining a spotlight on the currently crowdfunding Aria Omnibus, the definitive collection of the fan-favorite fantasy series co-created by Brian, exploring the origins of the character, the book's blend of mythology and modern storytelling, and why Aria continues to resonate with readers decades after its debut. Brian also reflects on his early work at Top Cow, his contributions to titles such as Witchblade (which he co-created) and Spawn, and his pioneering efforts in digital coloring and comic-book production technology. Along the way, Brian discusses balancing fine art with #comics work, world-building, and the lessons learned from a career spent pushing the boundaries of storytelling. Back the Aria Omnibus project on Kickstarter until June 25: kck.st/4dcJUPD. You can follow Brian on his site, haberlin.com, or on Instagram @brianhaberlinofficial.
