Podcasts about Omnibus

Max and 99 are back for another round of Omnibus. They hit headlines on the Trump administration restricting visas for foreign journalists, tribes suing to block the gutting of the Endangered Species Act, SpaceX’s massive share unlock, and a defense of reading books in an era of mass literary abandonment. Then they tackle listener emails on coordinating progressive media against AIPAC, whether MMT is 1920s Germany, and some episode clarifications.

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.

Die EU will deregulieren – und zwar wie. Sie hat Gesetzespakete geschnürt, die im sogenannten Omnibus-Verfahren jeweils immer mehrere Verordnungen und Richtlinien auf einmal ändern. Offiziell soll dadurch alles unbürokratischer werden. De facto bedient sich die EU dabei der ultrakapitalistischen Kettensägen-Strategie von Javier Milei und sägt an den Grundfesten von Verbraucher- und Umweltschutz. Bettina Müller, Referentin für Investitions- und Handelspolitik bei PowerShift, hat sich die Omnibus-Gesetze genauer angeschaut. Mit Nora Noll redet sie darüber, woher diese Deregulierungswut kommt und welchen Schaden sie anrichtet.

Max and 99 are back for another round of Omnibus. They hit headlines on the left’s role in silencing Platner’s accusers, the ICE shooting of a Houston father, a parasite outbreak causing explosive diarrhea, and Meta using your Instagram photos to train AI. Then they tackle listener emails on the difference between socialism and social democracy, and creative vision versus collective collaboration. Enjoy!

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.

Fram till 2018 innehöll Googles interna uppförandekod en simpel uppmaning: ”don't be evil”. Även om riktlinjen togs bort tycktes den leva kvar under de närmsta åren. 2019 publicerade Google ett blogginlägg om hur de ville bygga en mer privat webb. It-jätten tog ett tydligt ställningstagande mot annonsrelaterad spårning via webbläsarens fingeravtryck och skrev att sådan spårning ”subverts user choice and is wrong”. Året därpå meddelade Google att de dessutom skulle fasa ut tredjepartskakorna som än idag utnyttjas för spårning på webben. Sedan hände något. I fjol meddelade Google att förbudet mot fingeravtrycksbaserad spårning skulle rivas upp. Samma sak gällde planerna på att blockera tredjepartskakor i Chrome. Förra månaden meddelade Google att de även kommer att tillåta annonsrelaterad spårning av användare via IP-adresser, något de tidigare sagt att enbart fick göras för att bekämpa missbruk och bedrägerier. Spårning som tidigare var oetisk ska nu alltså bli tillåten. I slutet av förra månaden avslöjade Noyb att Google dessutom har lobbat mot ett lagförslag i EU:s kommande Omnibus-paket. Google kritiserade förslagets artikel om att ersätta cookie-banners (samtyckesrutor) med webbläsarinbyggda inställningar. Tanken med EU:s förslag var att låta användare lämna sitt samtycke på ett centralt ställe, i stället för att behöva göra det på varenda webbplats. Google ogillade förslaget och hävdade att det skulle leda till att färre användare gav sitt samtycke till spårning. I veckans poddavsnitt pratar Peter och Nikka om Googles förändringar. Podduon diskuterar om Google rent av har ersatt sitt gamla motto ”don't be evil” med den kortare versionen ”be evil”. Om Google vill behålla cookie-banners för att användare annars slutar lämna sitt samtycke borde det vara ett tydligt tecken på att dagens cookie-banners är så kallade ”dark patterns”. Vilken av de två mottoversionerna passar då bäst för ett företag som vill lura användare att göra något mot sin vilja? Se fullständiga shownotes på https://go.nikkasystems.com/podd358.

In unserer 100. Ausgabe Ausgelesen sprechen wir passenderweise mal wieder über ein Werk aus der Hohen Republik. Über kein Projekt haben wir in den vergangenen 100 Folgen mehr gesprochen als über dieses. Zudem geht es nicht um irgendein Werk, sondern um die finalen Ausgaben der Marvel-Hauptreihe. In Fear of the Jedi/Die Angst der Jedi und The Beacon findet die Reise von Lourna Dee, Keeve Trennis und Co ein vorläufiges Ende. Ob dieses Ende und der Weg dahin passend dargestellt sind, darüber reden Ines, Matthias und Tobias in dieser Ausgabe. Es geht um die Frage, ob Keeves Entscheidung am Ende zu schnell fällt und ob sie genügend Tragik hat, um noch Jahrzehnte später von Yoda betrauert zu werden. Außerdem sprechen wir über die zu große Anzahl an Raumschlachten, offensichtliche Träume, unnötige Rentner auf Raumschiffen und die namensgebende Angst. Ganz am Ende gibt es auch noch eine kleine Rede zu 100 Folgen Ausgelesen. Also dranbleiben und unbedingt in die Kommentare schreiben, was eure Lieblingsausgabe Ausgelesen ist. Zeitmarken 00:00:00 - Begrüßung 00:03:31 - Erwartungen an die finalen Hefte 00:10:42 - Welche Figur funktioniert am besten? 00:12:41 - Die Zeichnungen 00:16:40 - Leseempfehlung oder -notwendigkeit 00:19:29 - Spoiler ab hier: Die Handlung 00:20:41 - Zu viel Raum für zu viele Schlachten 00:25:15 - Angst, Trennis? 00:36:41 - Lourna und das Bore-Out 00:50:47 - Keeve Trennis: Hauptsache raus 01:09:20 - Wimmelbild auf Dalna 01:18:07 - Fazit und Ausblick 01:26:06 - Ein paar Worte zu 100 Folgen Ausgelesen Blick in die Datenbank Zur Werksübersicht von Die Angst der Jedi (Fear of the Jedi), geschrieben von Cavan Scott Die finale Reihe erschien ab 19. Februar 2025 monatlich in fünf Einzelheften. Am 10. Oktober 2025 folgte ein Sammelband bei Marvel, am 24. April 2026 der komplette Omnibus aller Phase III-Marvel-Comics. Auf Deutsch erschien die Reihe gesammelt am 19. Mai im gleichnamigen Sonderband. Zur Werksübersicht von The Beacon, geschrieben von Cavan Scott Das Einzelheft erschien erstmals am 30. Juli 2025 auf Englisch Auf Deutsch wurde es zusammen mit dem Sonderband am 19. Mai erstmals veröffentlicht. Die Rezensionen Matthias hat sowohl die restliche Hauptreihe als auch das Abschlussheft The Beacon rezensiert. Am Ende war er zufrieden und sah die Chance für die Figuren, nun etwas durchzuatmen. Denn: "über ein Wiedersehen mit bekannten Figuren oder auch ganz neue Geschichten würde ich mich sehr freuen, gleich ob Roman, Comic oder Hörbuch." Tobias (Rezension folgt!) hat den deutschen Sonderband rezensiert und ist insgesamt zwar zufrieden, kritisiert aber vor allem die Story-Entscheidungen rund um Keeve Trennis am Ende. Diese seien zu wenig dramatisch, als dass Jahrzehnte später Yoda noch traurig darüber sein dürfte. Damit habe sich Cavan Scott mit der Anspielung in Dooku: Jedi Lost und der schlussendlichen Auflösung, auf die wir alle jahrelang gewartet haben, keinen Gefallen getan.

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. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The Illinois House has passed SB 3222, a sweeping cannabis omnibus bill that would increase possession limits, expand medical patient access, allow dispensaries to stay open until 2 a.m., authorize drive-thrus, create new opportunities for social equity transporters, and establish a new framework for hemp regulation. During this live stream, Cole breaks down the floor debate, key provisions, and the arguments lawmakers made in support of the legislation. Cole also discusses what happens next, including the bill's expected return to the Senate for a concurrence vote, the likelihood of reaching the governor's desk, and what these proposed changes could mean for consumers, patients, businesses, and advocates across Illinois.

I've been inside the Minnesota Capitol during final week four times now.I've watched the clock run out. And I've seen something most people miss: the outrage over omnibus bills and back room deals is justified — but the focus is on the wrong thing.Senators Eric Lucero and Michael Holmstrom called it a failure this week: over 1,100 pages of spending and regulations, rammed through in hours, with no time to read before voting.They're right about the outcome. But the cause isn't bad legislators. It's a structural system that makes omnibus bills inevitable.In this video, I walk through the many structural forces that produce this result every single session: hard constitutional deadlines, committee chairs with centralized power, caucus discipline that pressures members to fall in line, and House-Senate brinkmanship that incentivizes waiting until the last minute.Once you see these dynamics, you can't unsee them. And the fix? It's not better people. It's a fundamentally different structure — likely including constitutional changes that most of the people complaining about the current system might resist.0:00 - The outrage nobody explains3:48 - Force 1: The Pressure Cooker5:15 - Force 2: Committee Chairs Ultimate Power6:58 - Force 3: Caucus Discipline 8:37 - Force 4: House vs. Senate Brinkmanship10:27 - Force 5: Tied House12:12 - What Reform Would Actually Require15:39 - It's Not Corruption; It's Structure#WalterHudson #MinnesotaPolitics #MNLeg #ClosingArgument #OmnibusBill #MinnesotaLegislature #legislativereform https://x.com/WalterHudson⬇️ Watch, think critically, and decide for yourself.

Summer's right around the corner, so for those of you who are already compiling your summer reading list for those beach or mountain vacations, we've got some great recommendations for you!In case you haven't noticed, we read a lot here at Veritas. And we don't read just any old drivel. Our students and teachers dive headfirst into the Great Books of the Western world. So, this group of seniors has an eclectic, thought-provoking (maybe even life-changing? Is that too much?) list of favorite books, presented in a fun discussion around the table with our host and Head of School Mr. Fischer. Listen in for some titles that will challenge and inspire you - mostly from our collection of Omnibus books these students have read in their Veritas 7th-12th grade journey.The Great Books curriculum is part of what makes a classical Christian education so special. By developing a student's taste and appreciation for deeper words and works - and by training the muscles of their minds to read and interpret difficult texts - we're in a way preparing them for a richer, fuller life - just the type of abundant life that Christ has called them to.This season of Cultivate is sponsored by Hershey Financial Advisers, a wealth management firm located on North Pointe Blvd. in Lancaster, PA, leading people to make better financial decisions and empowering them to fulfill a vision beyond themselves.
