This new crop of ultra luxury cruise lines is fascinating, not just because many of them are associated with well known hotel brands, but because they’re appealing to a newer, younger demographic; one that might not have cruised -- or thought about cruising. What’s the appeal for them? In this episode, host Rebecca Tobin and cruise editor Teri West talk with Christina Schlegel, the owner of Bluetail Travel, and Paul Tumposky, the chief revenue officer of Fora Travel, a about the appeal of lines like Four Seasons Yachts, Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection and Explora Journeys and the new pathways they’re opening up in cruising. This episode was recorded May 29 and has been edited for length and clarity.

Wir nähern uns dem großen Reveal in unserer vorletzten Folge zu Mord im Orient-Express von Agatha Christie. Als Hercule Poirot die Möglichkeiten ausgehen, wagt er die Flucht nach vorn und konfrontiert die Gräfin Andrenyi mit seinem Verdacht, die Schwester von Sonia und damit die Tante von Daisy zu sein. Zum Glück geht der Plan auf! Außerdem bekommen wir das Gefühl, dass sich die anderen Fahrgäste immer weniger vor möglichen Verdächtigungen fürchten. So gibt die Prinzessin Dragomiroff beispielsweise überraschend zu, dass das Taschentuch mit dem vermeintlichen H ihr gehört und es sich bei dem Buchstaben eigentlich um ein russisches N für Natalia handelt. Aber warum lag das Taschentuch dann bei der Leiche von Mr. Ratchett? Die Prinzessin kann es sich nicht erklären. Wir hoffen, ihr seid genauso gespannt wie wir auf das Finale von Mord im Orient-Express. --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir Agatha Christies Mord im Orient-Express (Murder on the Orient Express) zuende.

Doch was ist seine Geschichte, welche Vision steckte dahinter ?Der Mann, der den Orient-Express und über 180 weitere Nachtzugverbindungen durch ganz Europa auf die Gleise stellte, ist Georges Nagelmackers (1845–1905). Das Ringen um seinen Traum entwickelte sich zu einem dramatischen Auf und Ab zwischen Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, Scheitern und Triumph, erlittenem Spott und großer Verehrung.Georges Nagelmackers' Lebenswerk ist ein Plädoyer für die hartnäckige Verfolgung einer Vision, das raffinierte Spiel über die Bande und den Glauben an den Umweg : geografisch, politisch und menschlich.Gerhard J.

Back with the Twelfth Doctor, we find plenty of superlatives to throw at ‘Listen,' including comparing it to both a critically acclaimed horror film and an episode of Buffy (which is also critically acclaimed), not to mention finding the Master's secret origin in it. That done, we spend almost no time on ‘Time Heist,' find a surprising amount to say about ‘The Caretaker' (including a scurrilous rumour that neither of us put any credence in), and a famously divisive episode proves… well, divisive. Plus the Gothic returns, as it always seems to do, funnily enough.

Die große Fragerunde geht weiter in unserem vierten Teil von Agatha Christies Mord im Orient-Express. Die Schwedin Greta Ohlsson reagiert äußerst mitgenommen auf die Kunde, dass der vermeintliche Mr. Ratchett (bzw. Cassetti) für den Mord an der kleinen Daisy Armstrong verantwortlich ist. Colonel John Arbuthnot behauptet hingegen, sich nicht an Colonel Armstrong und seine ermordete Tochter erinnern zu können. Die Prinzessin Natalia Dragomiroff gibt sich zwar zunächst kooperativ, weigert sich dann aber, eine Probe ihrer Handschrift abzugeben. Der ungarische Diplomat Graf Rudolph Andrenyi und seine Frau Helena geben sich besonders anteilnahmslos. Zuletzt kommt der Schreibmaschinenvertreter Cyrus Bethman Hardman ins Verhör, der sich prompt als Privatdetektiv im Auftrag von Mr. Ratchett selbst herausstellt.

So if you need a new audiobook this summer, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 304 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is May 22nd, 2026, and it's our first new episode in two and a half weeks, so that is exciting. Today we'll be talking about how writers can believably write characters who miss the obvious or fail to notice important facts without exasperating the reader. We also have Coupon of the Week and a progress update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Talons of the Sorcerer, Book #6 in the Dragonskull series (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store. That is TALONS2026. As always, the links to my Payhip and the coupon code will be available in these show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through June 8th, 2026. So if you need a new audiobook for your summer travels, we have got you covered. Now let's have an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. Since I recorded the last episode on May 6th, I'm pleased to report that Dragon-Mage, the sixth book in the Half-Elven Thief series, is done. You can get it at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited since Half Eleven Thief is my Kindle Unlimited series (until it is finished). It's doing quite well and thank you all for that. Now that Dragon-Mage is finished, my main project is now Blade of Thieves. And as of this recording, I am 29,000 words into it. I think the rough draft will be 100,000 words or so, give or take. I hope to have this out in June, though it might slip to July (depending on events). My secondary project is Cloak of Frost, which will be the 15th book in the Cloak Mage series. I am 2,000 words into that and I am hoping to have that out towards the end of July, though of course that by slip to August (depending on events). So that is what I am working on right now. In audiobook news, since I recorded the last episode, we had two audiobooks mostly come out. Cloak of Illusion (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy) is available at Audible, Apple, Google Play, and all the other audiobook stores. Blade of Wraiths (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) is also finished. I believe as of this recording, you can get it at my Payhip store, Google Play, and Kobo (though Audible and the other audiobook stores should be following along before too much longer). As for Dragon-Mage, Leanne Woodward will be recording that in July (if all goes well). So that's where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:02:38 Main Topic: Perception Failure Mode for Writers Now let's go to our main topic, how to write characters who miss the obvious in a way that's believable and doesn't exasperate the reader. When writing a story, it's sometimes useful to have a character miss the obvious. Of course, if done badly, this can sometimes inspire exasperation in the audience, like the cliche of the woman going alone into the basement with a flickering candle to reset the circuit breaker while a serial killer is on the loose and you get bonus cliche points if she's wearing a bikini. The trick is to have the character miss the obvious in a believable way that matches the circumstances. The obvious might be obvious, but it is often obvious only in hindsight. For example, here is a story about the time I failed to notice the obvious. In the morning, I typically get up, use the restroom, and then get dressed to go to the gym. I normally sleep with earplugs and don't usually remove them until I get dressed. While using the restroom, I will bring my phone or my tablet, depending on which is closer at hand and play chess puzzles to help my brain wake up. Now this detail is important. My tablet is an iPad, but my phone is an Android. Gradually, I began to notice that whenever I started the day, I could hear a woman talking very loudly outside the window. At first, I thought nothing of it. The house is fairly close to the sidewalk, so I often hear people talking as they walk past. However, as the days passed, I noticed I frequently heard exactly the same woman whenever I went into the bathroom. That started again on my nerves, so I glanced out the window to see who it was, but I never saw anyone nearby. For that matter, it didn't happen every day. Then a very strange fact occurred to me. This only happened on days when I had my phone, not my iPad, and this led me to discover the truth. The chess app had been updated to have the virtual chess coach talk to you as you played chess. My iPad and my phone were on mute, but on Android, apps can sometimes override the system mute setting to make noise. So my phone was talking to me as I did chess puzzles, and because I still had my earplugs in and hadn't enjoyed my morning coffee yet and my brain wasn't working, I failed to realize that my phone was the source of the voice. I had failed to notice the obvious. So once I had turned off the voice on the chess app, this got me to thinking. My specific example is so implausible and convoluted that it would be impossible to use in a novel since it would seem contrived, but how can you have characters in a novel fail to notice the obvious in a way that doesn't annoy the reader? I think there are five ways you can do it. #1: The character fails to notice something because of reasonable circumstances. Human perception is quite fallible and more so when we are stressed. It's common knowledge that if five people witness a crime, there will be five contradictory accounts of what happened based on what the individual in question happened to notice. For example, if you see a car accident in front of you, that will dominate your attention and cause you to miss background details, like the color of a nearby parked car or a nearby house. A character can also miss important details when he or she has no good reason to notice these details. There's a reason that in real life many spies try to be unremarkable as possible. The brain sort of slides over the unremarkable and makes it into part of the background. This can also work in mundane settings. For example, if a character is an electrician, he won't know what accounting software his clients use because he has no reason to know or care, especially if he gets paid on time. Stress is also a good way to have a character fail to notice something important. Job loss, an illness, a bad day, lack of sleep, and other things might mean the character is not operating at his or her best and may fail to notice important details. #2: Missing information causes you to miss the obvious. Insufficient information can cause a character to come to the wrong conclusion. Here's another example from my own life. Earlier this year, I drove a 2,000 mile road trip in a few days and towards the end, my right foot and leg started to hurt. The explanation for that I thought was obviously that I'd driven 2,000 miles in four days and put too much unaccustomed strain on my right foot. Once I got home, I would take a few days to rest and it should be good. Except when I got home, the pain got worse. I developed a fever and an uncomfortable swelling on the side of my right foot. I didn't have tendonitis or muscle strain. I had actually developed cellulitis for some reason. If you haven't heard of cellulitis, it's a potentially serious infection of these subdermal skin layer. A trip to the doctor and some antibiotics later, it was better. But this is an excellent example of coming to a reasonable, nonetheless wrong conclusion based on the available facts. Considering the amount of driving and walking I had been doing, it was perfectly reasonable to assume that I had strained something in my leg, but that wasn't what was happening at all. All the facts I knew were correct, but I was missing the key fact, the infection, and so had come to the wrong conclusion. This is a technique you can use in fiction quite easily and it's common in detective and mystery novels. It's common for the protagonist to construct a theory about the crime only for it to be proven wrong by a single piece of additional information. #3: All the information, wrong conclusion. Sometimes you can have all the correct information, but you draw the wrong conclusion from it. Here's another example from my life. As you may know, I have a lot of audiobooks available on Spotify, so if you're a Spotify listener and want to use your audiobook hours, I have some for you. So this naturally means I get a tax form from Spotify every year. During the run up to the 2026 tax season, I got an email from Spotify saying that my tax information was wrong and needed to be updated, which was baffling because my tax information had not changed. So I logged into the dashboard, but nothing seemed amiss and I saw no notifications about it there. Then I realized the truth, the email was fake. It had been sent to a different email address than the one I actually used for Spotify. The email was a very clever and very well written phishing attempt. The habit of never clicking on any link in an email (instead going directly to the dashboard in question) had served me well here. I had all the facts before me, but I arrived at the wrong conclusion because it was tax season and so it was reasonable to expect to get an email like that. Now this can be used in fiction in multiple ways. Probably the most famous example is how Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy come to the wrong conclusion about each other's motives in Pride and Prejudice. They both have all the facts but draw wrong assumptions from them. #4: Deliberately deceived. A character can also come to the wrong conclusion or fail to notice the obvious or if he or she is deliberately deceived. The phishing attempt I mentioned earlier was an example of this. Having a character be believably deceived and indeed deceiving the reader as well is a very useful technique in fiction. Agatha Christie was very good at this in her mystery novels. For example, in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, The ABC Murders, and Murder on the Orient Express, the characters and the readers are operating under assumptions for most of the book that turn out to be the result of deceptions on the part of some of the characters. Granted, using this method can be kind of a rug pull for the reader. However, there's nothing wrong with a rug pull if it's done well. As I mentioned earlier, it's a common saying that the obvious is only obvious in hindsight. If you have the characters believing the deception for reasonable reasons only to have them realize the truth later, if you do it well and make the book all the more satisfying if there were subtle clues and foreshadowing about the truth earlier in the story. That kind of rug pull is a bit like garlic in cooking. You don't want to overdo it, but it's highly effective when used in the proper amount. #5: Something more important is happening. Sometimes you don't notice something that would otherwise be obvious because something more urgent is demanding all of your attention and focus. I think this is one of the biggest reasons people miss the obvious and it's very relatable. In my earlier bout with cellulitis, I didn't realize the obvious truth that I was getting cellulitis because I was focused on something more important at the time, namely not accidentally driving my car into an overpass embankment for the next thousand miles or so. People have varying attention spans, but every individual person has only so many things they can think about or worry about at any given time. You can use this to cause your characters to miss things they might otherwise have noticed. For example, imagine a village in a fantasy book. There's an evil wizard living incognito in the village and he's summoning tribes of goblins to destroy the village. The protagonist is busy trying to fight off the goblins, so he overlooks the subtle hints that one of his neighbors is an evil wizard because all his attention is on fighting and he's tired enough that he's missing things he might otherwise catch. In this example, the problems are linked. The goblins are attacking the village because the evil wizard is summoning them. Having linked problems like that can help drive the plot forward and provide narrative tension as the character gradually realizes the truth or stumbles across clues pointing to the truth. So those are five tips and tricks you can use to have your characters believably overlook the obvious, but there's one bonus reason that has developed in the last 15 years or so and that bonus reason is number six: stop looking at your phone in public. In recent years, I've become amazed at how many people allow themselves to be utterly mesmerized by their phones in public. I suppose I'm old enough that it's a generational thing. I didn't have my first smartphone until I was well into my 30s, but it still surprises me every time I see it. That said, for all that you hear about crime and disorder on the news in the United States, you can tell that the US still is by and large and for the most part a pretty safe country because people are so comfortable focusing on their phones in public and ignoring their surroundings. Safety experts will tell you that the number one thing you can do to keep yourself safe in a public place is to maintain situational awareness and yet an astonishingly large number of people simply don't do that in favor of looking at their phones. So if you are writing a book set in the modern era, a quick and easy way to make sure a character doesn't notice something is to have him or her looking at [his or] her phone. Granted, you can overuse this, but this makes for a very believable technique for making sure that a character misses a detail or an event. Conclusion It's annoying when a character is all-knowing, but it's equally annoying when a character fails to notice the obvious because it's convenient for the writer. Hopefully these five tips and one bonus tip will help to create plausible reasons for characters to overlook things and miss things they would [have] otherwise noticed. Used well, this can help you create a compelling story for your book. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful.

La vida de Agatha Christie (Torquay, 1890 – Winterbrook, 1975) es la apasionante historia de una niña educada en los estrictos y caducos cánones victorianos que ha de enfrentarse a los frenéticos y constantes cambios sociales, culturales y tecnológicos del siglo XX. De esa tensión interna surgirá una personalidad compleja que se verá desbordada en los últimos días de 1926, cuando la ya entonces famosa escritora de novelas de misterio protagoniza una enigmática desaparición que tuvo en vilo al Reino Unido y que nunca explicó. Aquel extraño episodio sucedió durante el doloroso divorcio de su primer marido, Archibald Christie.Para entonces la autora ya había alumbrado a su personaje más popular, el detective Hércules Poirot, en novelas como 'El misterioso caso de Styles' (1920). Con él creó un canon literario que le reportó un inmenso éxito a lo largo de cinco décadas; una fórmula cerrada y confortable de la que también nació la perspicaz Miss Marple, inolvidable para sus millones de lectores gracias a casos como el de 'Muerte en la vicaría' (1930). Sin embargo, las novelas de las que se sintió más orgullosa Agatha Christie fueron otras: las que componen la serie romántica publicada bajo el pseudónimo de Mary Westmacott. En ellas y en sus dos autobiografías puede rastrearse –con cierta precaución, puesto que edulcoró parte de sus recuerdos– el lado más íntimo de la mujer que no dudó, una vez divorciada, en tomar el mítico Orient-Express para encontrar de nuevo el amor en la figura de su segundo marido, el arqueólogo Max Mallowan.Este documental, con guion de Alfredo Laín y diseño sonoro de Mayca Aguilera, cuenta con las voces de la escritora y periodista Rosa Montero, autora de 'Agatha Christie. La eterna fugitiva', y del biógrafo Eduardo Caamaño, autor de 'Agatha Christie. La biografía definitiva de la Reina del Crimen'. Participan también el arqueólogo y profesor de la Universidade da Coruña Juan Luis Montero Fenollós; y el escritor y ensayista Mauricio Wiesenthal, autor de 'Orient-Express. El tren de Europa'.Escuchar audio

Wer war die Frau im Kimono? Wie viel Dreck hatte Cassetti (noch) am stecken? Und wen glaubt Mrs. Hubbard in ihrem Abteil gesehen zu haben? Im unserem dritten Teil von Agatha Christies Mord im Orient-Express geht es richtig zur Sache. Während Hercule Poirot eine lange Reihe von Befragungen vornimmt, bekommen wir eigentlich mehr neue Fragen als Antworten. Wir sind gespannt, wie es weitergeht, und wünschen euch wie immer viel Spaß! --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir weiter in Agatha Christies Mord im Orient-Express (Murder on the Orient Express), und zwar bis einschließlich Teil 2, Kapitel 9 (Das Zeugnis des Mr. Hardman).

Monsieur Orient-Express –Wie es Georges Nagelmackers gelang, Welten zu verbinden von Gerhard J. RekelEin Jahr - ein BuchAuszug 05 Hördauer 11 MinutenLiteratur Radio Hörbahn stellt „Monsieur Orientexpress“ in der Serie „Ein Jahr – ein Buch“ auf besondere Weise vor. Aus 12 markanten Auszügen entsteht ein Panorama aus Geschichte, Mythos und persönlicher Perspektive rund um den legendären Zug und seinen Schöpfer. Die Ausschnitte führen in Figuren, Schauplätze und Stimmungen ein und lassen die Faszination Orientexpress akustisch aufleben.Jeden Monat wird eine neue Folge am vereinbarten Sendetermin online gestellt. So entwickelt sich über das Jahr hinweg eine fortlaufende Erzählung, bei der jede Station ein neues Fenster in das Universum von „Monsieur Orientexpress“ öffnet.Es liest: Heike StepprathAuszug 05Agatha Christie, Graham Greene und Hollywood machten ihn zum Mythos. Bis heute beflügelt der "König der Züge" die Sehnsucht nach Abenteuern und romantischen Erlebnissen. Doch was ist seine Geschichte, welche Vision steckte dahinter ?Der Mann, der den Orient-Express und über 180 weitere Nachtzugverbindungen durch ganz Europa auf die Gleise stellte, ist Georges Nagelmackers (1845–1905). Das Ringen um seinen Traum entwickelte sich zu einem dramatischen Auf und Ab zwischen Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, Scheitern und Triumph, erlittenem Spott und großer Verehrung.Georges Nagelmackers' Lebenswerk ist ein Plädoyer für die hartnäckige Verfolgung einer Vision, das raffinierte Spiel über die Bande und den Glauben an den Umweg : geografisch, politisch und menschlich.Gerhard J. Rekelwurde 1965 in Graz geboren. Er absolvierte die Filmakademie Wien, für die Komödie „Trauma“ erhielt er eine British Academy Nomination, eine Biennale-Einladung sowie den Japanischen Drehbuchpreis. Er verfasste mehrere Drehbücher für den „Tatort“ und realisierte als Regisseur Wissenschaftsdokumentationen für ARTE, ZDF und andere Sender. Rekel hat mehrere Romane veröffentlicht, u. a. „Der Duft des Kaffees“. Das zuletzt bei K&S erschienene Buch „Monsieur Orient-Express“ erhielt den ITB-BookAward 2023 des Deutschen Buch-Börsenvereins und wurde ins Englische, Französische und Niederländische übersetztSchnitt, Technik: Jupp Stepprath und Realisation Uwe Kullnick

Kaum hat Hercule Poirot endlich seine eigene Kabine im Orient-Express bezogen, da kündigt sich schon Ärger an. Wildes Glockengeläut, Trubel auf dem Gang und ein Schmerzensschrei in der Nacht. Am nächsten Morgen stellt sich heraus: Hercule Poirots Kabinennachbar, der böse aussehende Mister Ratchett, wurde mit zwölf Messerstichen brutal ermordet. Von wegen „Bin nur hingefallen“... Was für ein Glück, dass Monsieur Bouc mit Poirot genau den richtigen Ermittlungsleiter an Bord hat, den er sogleich mit der Lösung des Mysteriums beauftragt. Die Investigation beginnt mit der Leiche am Tatort. --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir weiter in Agatha Christies Mord im Orient-Express (Murder on the Orient Express), und zwar von Teil 1, Kapitel 8 (Der Entführungsfall Armstrong) bis einschließlich Teil 2, Kapitel 4 (Das Zeugnis der Dame aus Amerika).

This month (a little late), Kyle and Erik look at the first two Doctor Who scripts by Jamie Mathieson, "Mummy on the Orient Express" and "Flatline." Conveniently, they happen to have been sequential episodes 8 and 9 from Series 8. Without giving too much away, these might be the best non-Moffat scripts of the season and the best the Clara and Twelfth Doctor relationship gets. So there's that.

In this episode of High Theory, Kim talks to Ben Mangrum about Generic. A curious term that denotes both the conventions and rules of genre, and the impersonal or nameless quality of things like generic drugs or generic devices; the generic structures many of our cultural codes. Ben uses both senses to talk about the history of computing. He tells us about the surprising role the genre of comedy has played in our interactions with computers. Ben suggested that we reference Spike Jones's 2010 short film I'm Here as an example of computational comedy. In the episode Ben references Aziz Ansari and Eric Klinenberg's Modern Romance (Penguin Books 2016), a book of comedy and social critique about online dating, as well as classics like Agatha Christie's Muder on the Orient Express (Collins Crime Club 1934), William Gibson's Neuromancer (Ace Books 1984), and the film You've Got Mail (1998). He also talks about David Schumway's writing on screwball comedies, “Screwball Comedies: Constructing Romance, Mystifying Marriage” in Cinema Journal 30 no. 4 (Summer 1991): 7-23, doi: 0.2307/1224884, and Lauren Berlant's on genre, “Genre Flailing” in Capacious: Journal for Emerging Affect Inquiry 1 no. 2 (2018). If you want to learn more, check out Ben's book, The Comedy of Computation: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Obsolescence (Stanford 2025). In this cultural history of the computer, Ben shows that comedy has been central to how we've made sense of the technology's sweeping effects on public life and private experience. From the first Broadway play to include a computer in the 1950s to popular films and joke-telling digital assistants, many have used comedy to make the computer seem ordinary. Others have tried to stage the assimilation of computers within corporate life as a kind of comic drama. Mangrum describes these and many other ways in which comedy and computation have come together as a new genre of experience: the comedy of computation. Ben Mangrum works as an Associate Professor of Literature at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research examines topics ranging from the environmental humanities to twentieth-century “world literature” and the history of ideas and media underlying contemporary methods in the digital humanities. His first book, Land of Tomorrow: Postwar Fiction and the Crisis of American Liberalism, was published in 2019 by Oxford University Press.

In dieser Episode ist Lena Lind bei Unter uns Moms zu Gast, die sich aus einer kreativen Idee ein ganz eigenes Business aufgebaut hat: personalisierte Jacken, die heute nicht nur viral gehen, sondern auch bei großen Namen wie dem Orient Express, Lufthansa, dem Hotel Sacher oder besonderen Events wie der Bibi Blocksberg Premiere landen. Lena erzählt, wie alles angefangen hat, wie viel Zeit, Arbeit und auch Geld tatsächlich in jeder einzelnen Jacke steckt und warum viele komplett unterschätzen, was hinter ihrem Job wirklich steckt. Sie teilt ehrlich, was nicht funktioniert hat, was sie heute anders machen würde und wie sehr sich ihr Leben durch den wachsenden Erfolg verändert hat. Vom ersten ausverkauften Drop bis hin zu viralen Momenten, die plötzlich alles beschleunigt haben. Gleichzeitig geht es um die besondere Dynamik hinter ihrem Business: die Aufregung vor jedem neuen Jacken-Tausch, außergewöhnliche Projekte und Begegnungen, die man so nicht planen kann. Und natürlich wird es auch persönlich:
Als Mama gibt Lena einen ehrlichen Einblick in ihren Alltag zwischen Familie und Selbstständigkeit, spricht über Mental Load in einem gemeinsamen Business mit ihrem Mann und darüber, wie sie versucht, beidem gerecht zu werden. Eine Episode über Kreativität, Mut und den Weg, etwas Eigenes aufzubauen, ohne dabei sich selbst zu verlieren.

Hay que hablar de política, decretó. Si Vinicius sigue jugando en el Real Madrid es porque es negro, y ha conseguido arrogarse ser representante del antirracismo. Si fuera blanco, explicó, sería un delantero bullidor, tipo Juanito o Amancio, ideal para las segundas partes. El único problema que tiene el equipo es él, y lo que debería hacer es marcharse cuanto antes.En cuanto a la visita de Sánchez a China, no había dicho aún todo lo que quería. Remitió así al artículo de Marga Zambrana, que a su vez remite a la crónica de Lucas de la Cal y que explica la sutil diferencia entre "principio de una sola China" y "política de una sola China". ¡Hombre, hombre! Tratándose del presidente del Gobierno y de los principios, ¿alguien puede inferir algo estable?El viaje coincide, además, y de una manera obscena, con los problemas que tiene su esposa. Al respecto, pidió el ejercicio de imaginar que toda la exuberancia de desplantes a la razón y a la moral que ejerce Sánchez desde su mismo origen –incluida aquella moción de censura encargada a Ábalos– no existe. Y que de repente, Begoña Gómez enfrentara el banquillo en un caso de corrupción. La mujer del presidente del Gobierno, a juicio, un caso inédito en cualquier país. ¡No podría hablarse de otra cosa! Pues bien, en España, la cantidad de escándalos que rodean a Sánchez es tal, que amortiguan todo. Actúan como un mullido colchón de escoria. Encomió a Montano por su referencia sobre de El País y el juicio a Ábalos y Koldo y comentó un nuevo y candente paper, sobre el que sentenció: el tema no es si el amor nos impide descubrir defectos, sino si impide que el paso del tiempo transforme en defectos lo que una vez nos parecieron virtudes divinas.Y fue así que Espada yiró.Bibliografía:- Marga Zambrana, "Cuando La Moncloa te lanza contra El Mundo", OrientExpress.- Lucas de la Cal, "Pekín atribuye a Sánchez el apoyo en secreto a la anexión de Taiwán", EL MUNDO.- José Antonio Montano, "La corrupción aspiracional de los españoles", The Objective.- "El sector privado, clave para alimentar a los cerdos que darán combustible a las guaguas", 14ymedio.

Peter Forster is a South Africa-raised theater scholar with degrees in dramatic literature, directing, and screenwriting who serves as the dramaturg for Deerfield Theater's production of Murder on the Orient Express. He describes the dramaturg's role as providing literary and historical context, standing "behind the people who stand behind the scenes." For this production, he created research documents covering the 1934 political climate in Europe, background on each character's country of origin, a timeline of Agatha Christie's life and writing career, and inspiration sources such as the Lindbergh kidnapping and a real-life Orient Express snowdrift incident. He characterizes his involvement as largely supplementary and non-intrusive, noting the production team has been "wonderfully independent," while he made himself available and offered recommendations on pre- and post-show music. Peter enthusiastically praises the adaptation's bold tonal choices and the way it deviates from the novel, arguing that audiences who know the story will find it fascinating precisely because it is different, and that Christie's themes of human depravity in enclosed spaces feel remarkably relevant to today's political climate.Performances at Caruso Auditorium, 1801 Montgomery Rd., Deerfield on:* Thursday, April 9 at 7:30pm* Fridays, April 3 and 10 at 7:30pm* Saturdays, April 4 and 11 at 2:00pm and 7:30pm* Sunday, April 12 at 2:00pmDeerfield TheaterPurchase TicketsWe're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make our upcoming shows a success!

Julia Helmer is a Buffalo Grove-based community theater enthusiast who grew up in Deerfield and is playing Greta Ohlsson, a Swedish missionary and composite character, in Deerfield Theater's production of Murder on the Orient Express. A self-described theater kid since seventh grade, she took a decade-long break from performing while living in Chicago before returning to community theater in 2018. For this role, she's been mastering a Swedish accent, read the Agatha Christie novel (as an audiobook), and watched the 2017 film to compare interpretations, noting that the play uniquely adds humor and levity to the otherwise dark mystery. She is so excited about the show's balance of comedy and suspense. Julia credits her theater background, including improv training, with making her effective in sales and client-facing situations for her work.

Brian Parry is a veteran Chicago-area actor with several decades of experience, currently retired but staying active in the performing arts through his long-standing membership with Redtwist Theater on the city's north side. He was drawn to play Hercule Poirot in Deerfield Theater's production of Murder on the Orient Express because it represented a rare, bucket-list opportunity, a role he felt uniquely suited for given his naturally deep, distinctive voice and age. Brian shared highlights from his career, including standout performances as Willie Loman in Death of a Salesman, Richard Nixon in Frost/Nixon (which moved a Watergate attorney to sympathize with Nixon), and his role in The Cripple of Inishmaan. He also recalled the joy of watching his young son perform in Les Misérables on Broadway. He expressed optimism about live theater's future in the face of AI, arguing that the irreplaceable human tension of a live performance — the possibility that something could go wrong — is something no AI can replicate.Performances at Caruso Auditorium, 1801 Montgomery Rd., Deerfield on:* Thursday, April 9 at 7:30pm* Fridays, April 3 and 10 at 7:30pm* Saturdays, April 4 and 11 at 2:00pm and 7:30pm* Sunday, April 12 at 2:00pmDeerfield TheaterPurchase TicketsWe're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make our upcoming shows a success!

Our heroes solve a murder, a second time.

Gareth and Gary are back and excited to kick off Season 6 of Dishing It Out with a seriously special guest, newly crowned Michelin star chef Angelo Vagiotis of The Pullman at Glenlo Abbey.Angelo shares the remarkable journey from the ultra-lux world of fine dining at Terre in Castlemartyr, to transforming a 1920s Orient Express carriage into Galway's latest Michelin-starred destination. He opens up about the pressure and sacrifice behind chasing stars, building a new team, culture and relationship with long-time Pullman regulars, and why Ireland now feels like home. You'll also hear about his time with Clare Smyth at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, opening a tiny Paris kitchen that became France's Restaurant of the Year, and his very globe-trotting “last meal on earth”.IWe team up with Nespresso for our Dish of the Week, where Gareth serves up a no-fuss tiramisu featuring Nespresso espresso and a twist. Then it's on to your Culinary Conundrums, where the lads tackle cottage cheese and what to cook for 20+ guests at a party. Keep those questions coming to food@goloudnow.com.

Our heroes solve a murder.

“They all did it. They're all guilty.” — Amy LittlefieldWho killed Roe? Amy Littlefield, the abortion access correspondent at The Nation and big time Agatha Christie fan, has written a true crime book about it. Literally. Killers of Roe treats the death of the constitutional right to abortion as a murder mystery in the Poirot or Miss Marple tradition, complete with suspects, motives, and a forensic reconstruction of the 50-year crime scene. The suspects have Christie-style names: the Racist (Jesse Helms), the Little Brother (James Buckley), the Devout Bureaucrat (Paul Herring), the Closeted Congressman (Bob Bauman), and of course Mr Hyde Amendment himself, Henry Hyde — six foot three, helmet of white hair, serial groper of women who ensured poor women lost access first.The Hyde Amendment is where the crime begins: 1976, a ban on federal funding of abortion. If you're poor, the Supreme Court ruled, that's your problem. The constitutional right exists, but don't expect anyone to pay for it. Surprise surprise. Black women, low-income women, women on Medicaid understood immediately. Democrats and mainstream pro-choice groups took longer to notice. By which time the damage was done — and the playbook established: chip away at access rather than try to ban it outright.Littlefield is more Miss Marple than Poirot — unassuming, persistent, sitting with her suspects for hours until they tell her why they did it. The devout bureaucrat, Paul Herring, spent their interviews trying to convert her to Catholicism. Henry Hyde made a pass at the president of Planned Parenthood during a commercial break on the Phil Donahue show. Bob Bauman — closeted, adopted, alcoholic — confessed to her that his anti-abortion politics may have come from identifying with the unwanted fetus, because that could have been him. These are complicated people doing terrible things for reasons they believe are righteous.And the ending? Littlefield steals it from Murder on the Orient Express. They all did it. Every suspect is guilty — including the Democrats who failed to defend poor women, and the pro-choice movement that didn't fight hard enough for the most vulnerable. Since the Dobbs decision in 2022: 59 excess pregnancy-associated deaths, 500 additional infant deaths, 22,000 additional births. The numbers aren't a Miss Marple mystery. The crime is ongoing. And Trump, who declared himself “very pro-choice” before he appointed the justices who drove the final nail in, is the ultimate opportunist — a fat, orange haired version of Hyde. Murder on the Abortion Express. They all did it. All the men, at least. Five Takeaways•       The Hyde Amendment Is Where the Crime Begins: 1976. A ban on federal funding of abortion. Poor women lost access first. Black women, women on Medicaid understood immediately. Democrats and mainstream pro-choice groups took longer to notice. By which time the playbook was established.•       The Anti-Abortion Movement Stole the Language of Civil Rights: White conservatives who didn't want to think about the harms of white supremacy found an escape valve: their own civil rights movement, with the fetus — almost always imagined as white — as the victim.•       The Suspects Are Complicated. The Crime Is Not: Henry Hyde groped women during commercial breaks. Bob Bauman — closeted, adopted, alcoholic — identified with the unwanted fetus. Paul Herring tried to convert Littlefield to Catholicism. Complicated people, terrible consequences.•       The Numbers Are Real: Since the Dobbs decision in 2022: 59 excess pregnancy-associated deaths. 500 additional infant deaths. 22,000 additional births. The crime is ongoing.•       They All Did It: Littlefield steals her ending from Murder on the Orient Express. Every suspect is guilty — including the Democrats who failed to defend poor women, and the pro-choice movement that didn't fight hard enough for the most vulnerable. All the men, at least. About the GuestAmy Littlefield is the abortion access correspondent at The Nation. Her new book is Killers of Roe: My Investigation into the Mysterious Death of Abortion Rights.

Life may move faster than ever, but when it comes to travel we all yearn to slow down and experience the ride. On this episode, Dan takes you on board a true phenomenon of luxury today: the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Now a part of the blockbuster travel group Belmond, the famous train and its sister rides across the globe are part of a rewiring of how we think about getting away from it all. Speaking with Belmond's Arnaud Champenois, Dan explores the line's history, its sister hotels that work in fabulous combination with VSOE's journeys, plans for the group's future, and much more.

Hello and welcome listeners to Episode 27 of JwaC Presents Depp Dive: A Depper Look into Johnny's Feature Filmography. Your host David Garrett Jr. is joined by his Co-Captain and wife, Jaime. For this episode, David previously had seen Murder on the Orient Express (2017). Jaime believes it was a first time watch. Neither of us saw the second feature, Sherlock Gnomes (2018). This makes for an interesting mystery double feature of detectives solving crimes. I hope you enjoy coming on this journey through Johnny's Feature Filmography.Time Codes:Intro: 0:00 - 7:24Murder on the Orient Express Trailer: 7:24 - 9:33Murder on the Orient Express Review: 9:33 - 27:57Sherlock Gnomes Trailer: 27:57 - 30:20Sherlock Gnomes Review: 30:20 - 48:31Social Media:Jaime's Instagram: jai.garrettEmail: journeywithacinephile@gmail.comWritten Reviews: https://horrorreview.webnode.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dgarrettjrTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/buckeyefrommichLetterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/davidosu/Instagram: davidosu87Threads: davidosu87Journey with a Cinephile Instagram: journeywithacinephileThe Night Club Discord: Journeywith a CinephileJoin Screamify: https://shorturl.at/Z6b9l

With LVMH in the mix, the play shifts from “luxury assets” to a full ecosystem built on narrative: trains, hotels, yachts, and a throughline of romance and mythology. Scott sees the upside in that long-game brand equity, but the panel keeps circling the same risk: storytelling can sell the dream, yet only flawless operations keep it from collapsing into cosplay. Then the mood turns pragmatic with Casago's post-Vacasa reality check. A founder-led franchise business runs on trust and alignment as much as tech and scale, and Steve Schwab's CEO transition lands as a stress test for franchisees already bracing for integration chaos. Ben argues owners should protect optionality while the dust settles; Scott and Edwin frame it as a “psychological contract” moment where perception matters as much as governance. Finally, Hyatt's ChatGPT integration signals that AI discovery is becoming a real distribution layer, not a gimmick. If travelers are asking for “the right stay” conversationally, brands will win by training the narrative, not bidding on keywords. Spice of the Week closes with a blunt takeaway: creative is the only differentiator left — and hotels are still wasting money boosting the wrong posts instead of scaling what actually works.   This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey.

Among Us on a train. The Film Strip gets a little sus for Murder on the Orient Express (1974).

The first two tastings are the Hanamachi Rice Lager and the Big Bad Baptist Samurai, then followed by a Juice Monster from Abomination Brewing Co. We let you know What Shows You Should Be Watching and Music You Should Be Listening To. The the 2nd tasting is a 11.5 % so things get a bit interesting going forward through the Sports segment. Then, hopefully, entertaining as hell through the Play Or Pass and FU segments. Join the fun and let us know how we are doing.

Abir Mukherjee was a revelation to us, even if he is already an international bestseller. The Burning Grounds, the sixth of the Wyndham and Banerjee mystery series will keep readers guessing while dazzling them with terrific writing. His series takes place during turn of the century in Imperialist India, and he exposes the good, bad and ugly, from both a British and native perspective.  He knocked us out, and we bet his Wyndham and Banerjee series will knock out our listeners too.  Join us!  Find books mentioned on The Book Case: https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/shop/story/book-case-podcast-reading-list-118433302 Books mentioned in this week's episode: The Burning Grounds by Abir Mukherjee (Wyndham and Banerjee Book 6) A Rising Man by Abir Mukherjee (Wyndham & Banerjee Book 1) A Necessary Evil by Abir Mukherjee (Wyndham and Banerjee Book 2) Smoke and Ashes by Abir Mukherjee (Wyndham and Banerjee Book 3) Death in the East by Abir Mukherjee (Wyndham and Banerjee Book 4) The Shadows of Men by Abir Mukherjee (Wyndham and Banerjee Book 5) Hunted by Abir Mukherjee Burmese Days by George Orwell Shooting an Elephant (An Essay) by George Orwell The Distant Echo by Val McDermid Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie The Long Drop by Denise Mina Knots and Crosses by Ian Rankin Learn more about your ad choices.
