Rachel and Simon speak to the novelist and journalist Diana Evans. Born and brought up in London and Lagos, Diana started her career as a journalist. She has written for publications including the Guardian, Harper's Bazaar, the New York Review of Books, Time and Vogue. After she completed an MA in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, Diana published her debut novel, “26a”, in 2005; the book won the inaugural Orange Award for New Writers and was shortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel and the Commonwealth Best First Book. “The Wonder”, which drew on Diana's own experience as a dancer, followed in 2009. Diana's third novel, “Ordinary People” (2018), was widely feted: it won the South Bank Sky Arts Award for Literature and was shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction, the Rathbones Folio Prize and the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction. Her fourth book, “A House for Alice” (2023), was also shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction.

“Give her the goddamn [microphone], Conrad!” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian & Liam (Megs and B-Tech Kev have headed off to Houston) – as we dive deep into the murky waters of grief, guilt, and WASP repression for our 289th episode, covering Robert Redford's directorial debut Ordinary People (1980). We're joined by BFF of the BFE: Ariannah (Who Loves BFE the Most™), as we trade poisoned apples for therapy sessions and take a long, quiet look at the cracks beneath the perfect family portrait as we discuss: How Ordinary People took the 1980 Oscars by storm  Does the film's quiet intensity still hit home—or has its reserved style become a relic of another era? Is Conrad a deeply sympathetic protagonist—or a mirror too uncomfortable to look into? How Ordinary People explores mental health, emotional repression, and the cold war between appearance and authenticity. Would the film still work today or have we successfully de-stigmatized mental health, trauma, and therapy? Which character we most relate to – and does that change  Where Mary Tyler Moore lands in the pantheon of dramatic performances. And what's someone's major gripe with her character's arc? Speaking of gripes—can we talk about that family photo scene? We've got questions about golf sweaters, family breakfast tension, and how much pain can hide behind tickets to Michigan State We get personal about how Ordinary People affected us—and whether we saw ourselves in any of its emotional breakdowns. We talk quiet power, redemptive silence, and the importance of just… being there for someone. Whether Ordinary People is the Best Film Ever.

The world undoubtedly moves at a faster pace today than it did during any previous period of Church history but historian Rachel Cope is a believer that, in all generations, God often aids our conversion by inviting us (and sometimes forcing us) to slow down. On this week's episode she shares her own experience as well as examples from Church History that illustrate the fact that the process of conversion is not a race but rather something that requires work and often takes time. 2:18- Publicly Sharing a Private Struggle 7:40- An Interest in Ordinary People 9:57- Focus on Healing the Whole 17:29- The Miracles of Modern-Day Living 23:12- Lucy and Emma 29:56- Polygamy 40:48- Slow Work 49:37- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? “Humans turn things into a race, God doesn't. God wants us to take whatever time we need and if it takes five years, that's great—if it takes 50 years, that's great. He's not worried about the deadlines, He just wants us to be on the journey.”

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. You know, I really believe with all of my heart that sharing the Gospel is the most important task that believers can do. And that's why I love to share my faith. Jesus used the most ordinary things to lead people to Himself. At a well, Jesus spoke of the Water of Life that quenches a deep thirst. To the hungry, He presented Himself as the Bread of Life. To the crippled and the sick, He was the One that could make people whole. We have opportunities all around us to share our faith; and with just a few simple tools, we can not only vocalize the Gospel but develop an alertness of mind and a compassion for the lost. When we look at the New Testament, we see ordinary people, just like you and me, who took it upon themselves to share the Gospel in their everyday lives. Join us for Go Training Day as we prepare to share our faith between Easter and Pentecost alongside the Go Movement. For more information, visit our website at sharelife.today. That's sharelife.today.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 15th of April, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the Gospel of Luke 2:25: “And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.” You don't hear much about Simeon, do you? No, he is one of the ordinary people. There are millions of ordinary people in the world. He was not a high priest, he was not one of the inner circle. No, but I will tell you one thing, he saw and recognised Jesus before any of the high priests or the Pharisees did. The Lord showed him and he said, “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace,…” You will see that in verse 29, when he recognised the baby Jesus, who had been brought to the temple. We need to understand something. It's not about education, and there is nothing wrong with that, by the way, it's a relationship with the Lord. I had a man working on the farm. You have probably seen him in the movie, Faith like Potatoes. Yes, his name is Simeon. Simeon is illiterate, he can't read, he can't write, but I want to tell you, he became one of my best friends when I was a young farmer. Some of the holiest times we used to have together were in the workshop early in the morning before the staff arrived. When I used to travel a lot and Jill was on the farm with the children and they were young, I used to call him in, we used to sit together and I would say, “Please look after the family till I get back”, and he would say to me, “Don't worry, I will look after them.” And he did - Jill said to me, often in the middle of the night, she would hear him walking around, just checking that everything was okay, and he was the one man that when he laid his hands on my head and prayed for me, he made me cry. I don't know why. Yes, like Simeon of the Bible. Let us not judge a book by it's cover. Let us be very slow to judge one another because I want to tell you, I have seen so many godly men in my life who don't hold any public office, but they have seen Jesus. Have a wonderful day, God bless you and goodbye.

Rev. Dr. Carl Gregg (March 30, 2025)

God consistently chooses ordinary individuals to accomplish extraordinary things, demonstrating His power through human weakness. From David the shepherd to Peter the fisherman, biblical history shows how spending time with Jesus transforms regular people into powerful instruments for God's purposes. Our limitations and inadequacies become opportunities for God's strength to manifest, proving that no one is too ordinary for His use. Through deliberate time spent with Jesus, ordinary believers can experience transformation in character, capabilities, courage, and impact.

Episode 123: Vickie Sampson – Dialogue, Detail, and the Art of Sound In this episode of The Filmumentaries Podcast, I speak with sound editor, dialogue and ADR supervisor, and filmmaker Vickie Sampson. Vickie's career began in the early 1970s, and she's since built up a mighty list of credits including Romancing the Stone, The River, Tank Girl, The Fifth Element, Ordinary People, and Return of the Jedi.

We discuss:Growing up surrounded by film and soundHer hands-on experiences on shows like The Big Valley and The RiflemanThe vital but often misunderstood role of dialogue and ADR editingWhat makes a great production sound handover (and how so many indies get it wrong!)‘Temp love' and the challenges of directors getting attached to scratch tracksWorking with actors like Keanu Reeves, Meryl Streep and Sigourney WeaverHer time in London supervising ADR for Return of the Jedi – including a story about the reels being stolen from her carWhy clean dialogue is the bedrock of a good filmHer continued work as a director and teacherThis one's packed with stories, insights, and practical advice for anyone working in – or just obsessed with – film sound.

On episode 280 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello as well as AwardsWatch contributors Jay Ledbetter, Josh Parham, and Karen Peterson to go back forty-five years and take a look at the 53rd Academy Awards, covering the films of 1980. Throughout Oscar history, there have been Best Picture wins that have become “controversial,” with some being about the quality of film that won or because of the films that lost Hollywood's top prize. The latter has become the case, as many cinephiles believe that Raging Bull should've won Best Picture over Ordinary People, which sets up a perfect challenge for the team to see if they believe this call for injustice by the Academy holds any merit. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 1980, briefly discuss talk about Ordinary People as a Best Picture winner, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h24m. We will be back next week for a review of the new A24 comedy, Death of a Unicorn, as well as talk about some of the best comedies of the decade and century so far. Till then, let's get into it. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 15th of March, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Old Testament, in the Book of Habakkuk 2:2:“Then the Lord answered me and said:“Write the visionAnd make it plain on tablets,That he may run who reads it.”Write the vision down - do you have a vision? You know what they say, “If you are aiming at nothing, you are sure to hit it!” We need a vision. We need a short-term vision, and we need a long-term vision. A short-term vision is to live day by day for Jesus, and the long-term vision is to reach that goal which you believe the Lord has called you to. Proverbs 29:18 says: “Where there is no vision, the people perish;…” The New King James Version says: “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;…” What does that mean? It means if you have no vision, then you have nothing to get up for in the morning. If somebody phoned you and said, “I have heard that you have been selected to play for the national team", whether it be rugby or soccer or cricket, you are not going to be eating hamburgers and drinking Cokes. No, you are going to be up in the morning. You are going to be training and getting ready for the call. Many years ago, I used to get up in my pick-up, (yes, there is a a movie made of it, that's right. It is called Ordinary People), get up early in the morning, drive my pick-up into my maize fields and preach to the maize plants. That is no word of a lie. I had a vision. My vision was to be able to tell multitudes of people about the love of Christ, to tell them that Jesus loves them and has got a plan for them, and I would preach to those maize plants, and then a gentle wind would come and I would pray the prayer of commitment and all the maize plants would bow their heads! But you know, the beautiful thing about that in that movie was, those maize plants, slowly but surely formed into people, and of course we know about what has happened in the Mighty Men phenomenon around the world. Over 20 Mighty Men conferences this year, in places like France, New Zealand, Australia, Canada - all over the world. And I had a vision to preach to the multitudes. Well, it has happened!What is your vision today? Ask Jesus to give you a clear-cut vision. Aim for it and go for it, and He in His time will bring it to pass.Jesus bless you and have a lovely day,Goodbye.

She leads the Starvation Portfolio at Global Rights Compliance, a foundation comprised of international lawyers and development experts with a mission to achieve justice through the innovative application of international law.

Ordinary People. Extraordinary Conversations. If "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" and "The Parable of the Good Samaritan" collided at an intersection, then the Neighborly Love podcast would be the result. It features casual conversations over coffee in a "virtual coffee shop" that lean into the power of empathy. It's about feeling heard, valued, and understood.ContinueContinue reading "Neighborly Love Podcast, Episode 54 – Dr. Eric Stennett"

In this episode, the monthly series called “What Are the Sisters Reading” continues. For the month of March, Sister Julia Darrenkamp, FSP, shares about a book called "The Holiness of Ordinary People" by Madeleine Delbrêl.  The book gathers together essays and notes written by Delbrêl, who was a French poet, social worker and lay missionary and has been declared Venerable by the Catholic Church, during her most active years, giving peerless insights into the distinctive lay vocation in the Church. All men and women—married and unmarried—must follow the Holy Spirit into all that is true in this world, from the small talk around the coffeepot to the great silence of the Holy Eucharist.
