Podcasts about Oscar Wilde

Ce jeudi dans #LeDriveRTL2, Margaux Lassalle met le cap sur la mythique "Île d'Émeraude" pour une nouvelle escale de son "Rock Trip" : l'Irlande ! Entre ses paysages verdoyants, ses falaises spectaculaires, sa ferveur inégalable pour le rugby et l'ambiance chaleureuse de ses pubs typiques (où l'on savoure une Guinness en feuilletant du Oscar Wilde), ce pays possède une âme véritablement unique. Mais l'Irlande est aussi et surtout une terre sainte pour le rock ! Si le groupe folk Kingfishr y cartonne actuellement, le pays a vu naître des légendes absolues qui ont conquis le monde entier. Margaux nous retrace cette histoire prestigieuse : des immenses U2 et The Cranberries aux pionniers hard rock de Thin Lizzy, en passant par le métissage pop et musiques traditionnelles de The Corrs ou les tubes de The Script. L'exploration se poursuit avec la power pop des années 90 d'Ash, l'héritage assuré par la nouvelle génération avec Inhaler, et la scène punk et alternative actuelle portée par The Murder Capital ou l'énergie brute de Sprints. Pour clore cette vibrante virée irlandaise, découvrez à la toute fin de la chronique le titre "Starbuster" de Fontaines D.C. Véritable sensation post-punk et probablement le groupe irlandais le plus influent de la décennie, ils nous livrent ici un morceau obsédant, à écouter en intégralité ! Hébergé par Audiomeans.

As Christopher and Eric continue their month of special Pride Pairings, they launch their two-episode exploration of literary great Oscar Wilde with a True Crime TV Club installment they assumed would be focused on the young lover many blame for Wilde's personal destruction or at the very least the young man's father. Turns out this documentary assigned that role to someone entirely unexpected. Who knew? (The Irish did, apparently but they forgot. You'll see what we mean.) In the BBC Select documentary, THE MAN WHO DESTROYED OSCAR WILDE, your hosts meet an unexpected and astonishing host and take a surprising journey into the “recently” rediscovered transcripts of a trial that brought about the ruin of one of England's greatest authors and playwrights and one of the wittiest and most brilliant queer men to ever walk the planet. It's a nice warm up for next week's serving of the 1997 biopic, WILDE, starring Stephen Fry.

In the second of two programs created with the podcast Death, Sex, and Money and our live event host Anna Sale, we explore issues of happiness.  Host Meg Wolitzer introduces a satirical romance by Oscar Wilde (did he write any other kind?).  “The Model Millionaire” is read by Peter Francis James.  In Kevin Brockmeier's “Space,” a grieving widower and his son try to get past their loss, looking for light in the darkness.  The reader is Michael Stuhlbarg.

When a practical American family purchases the ancient Canterville Chase in England, they receive a grave warning: the historic mansion is haunted by a restless noble ghost who has terrified residents for centuries. Undeterred by superstition, the lively Otis family moves in, bringing modern ideas, humor, and fearlessness into a world steeped in tradition. What follows is a delightful clash of cultures, hilarious hauntings, and an unexpected journey toward compassion and peace in this witty Oscar Wilde classic. Read by Steve Rimmer.

May has flown by — here's a listen back at some of the conversations we've had this month on The TLS Podcast.We hear from Merlin Holland on the afterlife of his grandfather Oscar Wilde, David Horspool on the luscious world of the lido, Samantha Ellis on Charlotte Brontë's relationship with material reality, and Dinah Birch finds solace in letters and diaries from the past.Produced by Charlotte Pardy Hosted on Acast.

Pierre Louÿs ou la fin d'un siècle Nous sommes le 17 octobre 1897, à Paris. L'écrivain Pierre Louÿs, auteur des « Chansons de Bilitis » ou de « La femme et le pantin », reçoit la visite de Marie de Heredia. Il est fou d'elle, elle est mariée à un autre. Il a cru pouvoir l'oublier mais, ce jour-là, son amour enfoui se libère. S'ensuivent deux mois et demi d'une liaison passionnelle, charnelle, qui alimente la fibre créatrice du poète en même temps qu'elle le précipite au bord de l'abîme. Il y aura un avant et un après. L'onde de choc se fera sentir bien des années encore. En octobre 1900, Pierre Louÿs confie à son ami de longue date Paul Valéry : « C'est bien fini, fini, je ne crois plus à la littérature ». L'amour déçu n'est peut-être pas la seule raison au désenchantement de ce novateur qui puisait son inspiration dans la culture gréco-latine et méditerranéenne, sans doute, la maladie, la drogue, sa mise en doute spectaculaire et, pour beaucoup, choquante, de la paternité de l'œuvre de Molière, ont confirmé son enlisement. « Il est presque trop beau pour un homme » avait dit de lui Oscar Wilde. Trop beau pour se survivre, peut-être… Son œuvre est aujourd'hui bien oubliée et si l'on se souvient de lui, c'est pour mettre l'accent sur son érotomanie, on parle de pornographie ; son érudition serait bizarre, on se focalise sur ses relations avec Gide ou Debussy. Pierre Louÿs incarne plus que cela, il est l'une des grandes signatures de l'une des plus grandes période de la littérature. « Croyez que cela devait être beau » griffonne-t-il sur une note peu de temps avant de mourir… Revenons, aujourd'hui, à Pierre Louÿs… Invité: Luc Dellisse, romancier, essayiste, membre de l'Académie de langue et de littérature françaises de Belgique. sujets traités : Pierre Louÿs, Bilitis, Marie de Heredia, Paul Valéry , poète, écrivain, Molière, Oscar Wilde.

In this solo episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas delivers his definitive guide to Oxford — his favorite city in England outside of London and the subject of his guidebook 101 Oxford Travel Tips and Tricks. From the bleary-eyed chaos of his first visit in 2012 with an angry 16-month-old and the Mini Cooper factory ring road at midnight, to two stays as a student on the Oxford Experience program, Jonathan brings nearly 15 years of personal history with the city to bear on a comprehensive, enthusiastic, and practically useful travel guide. The episode covers how to get there, how long to stay, the Oxford Experience immersive student program, the colleges you must see, the Bodleian Library's remarkable layers, the essential museums, the unrivaled bookstore scene led by Blackwell's and its famous five-mile Norrington Room, Oxford's extraordinary literary connections from Lewis Carroll to Tolkien to Philip Pullman, the day trips that demand your time — including Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds — and the practical tips that will make your visit infinitely more enjoyable.

Two days minimum is the right call; three is better. Oxford is just 60 miles and 40-45 minutes by direct train from London Paddington, making it one of the easiest day trips or overnights in Britain — and you can also get there direct by bus from Heathrow without going into London at all. The Oxford Experience — a residential immersive programme at Christchurch offering one-week courses for adults in July and August — is Jonathan's single highest recommendation for anyone who wants to truly inhabit the city. Courses cost £1,500–£2,000 all-in and include room, board, lectures, and excursions; book in November when the schedule is released as popular courses fill within hours. The Bodleian Library is not one library but several — the Divinity School, Duke Humphrey's Library, the Radcliffe Camera, and the Weston Library — and the best way to see them properly is to book a guided tour well in advance, as they sell out. Blackwell's bookshop on Broad Street is arguably the greatest bookshop in the world — the underground Norrington Room alone has five miles of shelving beneath Trinity College — and Jonathan has never left without spending several hundred pounds. Staff will package books in brown paper and ship them back to the US at reasonable rates. Oxford's literary connections are extraordinary: Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland at Christchurch (Alice was the Dean's daughter); Tolkien and C.S. Lewis met with the Inklings at the Eagle and Child every Tuesday through the 1930s and 40s; Philip Pullman set His Dark Materials here; Oscar Wilde studied at Magdalen; and Inspector Morse has made every corner of the city feel like a crime scene. The Eagle and Child — the Inklings' famous pub on St. Giles' Street — has been closed since COVID and is currently being refurbished by new owners. It must reopen as a pub by heritage law, and is expected to reopen either in 2026 or 2027; keep an eye on the show notes link for updates. If you're in Oxford for even one day, you must go to Blenheim Palace — just eight miles away by bus, the only non-royal non-episcopal palace in England, birthplace of Winston Churchill, UNESCO World Heritage Site, and arguably the greatest country house in Britain. A bus from Oxford drops you at the gates. Jonathan's top Oxford hack: stay for at least one night. By 4-5pm the tour buses are gone, Oxford becomes a completely different city, and the cultural life — theatre, bookshop talks, music — begins. Arrive early to beat crowds at the sights, then save the evenings for culture and quieter exploration. Avoid mid-April to mid-June (exam season, colleges restrict access), avoid July if you run hot (medieval stone buildings have no air conditioning and bake in the heat), and buy a fan the moment you arrive if visiting in summer. September and October are ideal months to visit. ⠀ Soundbites "Most of my early memories of Oxford were driving the ring road at midnight with a toddler who would not go to sleep and who would only stop crying if he was in the car. We drove round and around, seeing nothing other than the Mini Cooper plant every time we went past." — Jonathan on his first trip to Oxford in 2012. "Oxford has this warmth to it — that yellow beige Cotswold stone, weathered and warm. And there's this scholarly, bookish vibe from the place that you don't really get anywhere else. It's not just a campus. Oxford University is the town of Oxford." — Jonathan on why Oxford grabs you. "I was immediately spellbound. I loved it immediately. And that's the thing about Oxford — it grabs you once you visit, and you're walking around this beautiful architecture surrounded by deep, deep history. They don't even know exactly how old the university is. It's over 800 years old. When Oxford was founded, the Aztec Empire hadn't even reached its peak." — Jonathan on falling in love with Oxford in 2016. "There were riots. There was full scale urban warfare in Oxford in 1355 — the St. Scholastica's Day riot. 63 scholars and 30 townspeople were killed. As a result, the town was forced to pay annual reparations to the university in a formal ceremony that continued into the Victorian era." — Jonathan on Oxford's violent town vs. gown history. "You basically get to live as an Oxford student for a week. Morning is lectures, afternoon is tours and excursions, evening is formal dinner in the Great Hall. And one night you're invited to high table — suit and tie, port, mingling with the professors. It's a very quintessentially British experience." — Jonathan on the Oxford Experience programme. "I've never gotten out of the Norrington Room without spending several hundred pounds. Let me just say that. Five miles of shelving underground beneath Trinity College. So many books." — Jonathan on Blackwell's legendary underground bookshop. "The Pitt Rivers Museum is like the Victorian cabinet of curiosities. Dimly lit, quiet — maybe people don't even know it's there. Polynesian canoes, samurai outfits, weapons, armour. A strange and wonderful melange of human culture from all over the world." — Jonathan on one of Oxford's most atmospheric museums. "If you're in Oxford and you don't go to Blenheim Palace, you've wasted a trip to Oxford. It's the only non-royal, non-episcopal palace in England. I would argue it's probably the greatest house in Britain. And a bus from Oxford drops you right at the gates." — Jonathan on Blenheim Palace. "By four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the tour buses are gone. And it's just you and the people who live and work and study in Oxford. Oxford becomes a completely different place. That's when the cultural life wakes up." — Jonathan's key Oxford overnight hack. "Scriptum on Turl Street — if you're a bookish type, you will love this place. Beautiful blank books, journals, diaries, fancy pens. I have a beautiful leather book from there with gorgeous cream pages that I cherish so much I haven't written anything in it. I'm afraid to ruin it." — Jonathan on his favourite hidden gem shop in Oxford. ⠀ Chapters 00:00 Introduction — Jonathan sets up the Oxford guide episode and plugs his Oxford guidebook 01:48 Jonathan's Relationship with Oxford — Brideshead Revisited, American universities, and the Oxford DNA in US campus culture 03:30 First Visit: Oxford 2012 — Diamond Jubilee trip, an angry toddler, and the ring road at midnight 06:20 Second Visit: Oxford 2016 — The train from Paddington, the proper day, and falling in love properly 08:42 A Brief History of Oxford — Ford of the Oxen, Alfred the Great, Henry II, 800 years, and the St. Scholastica's Day riot 13:30 The University Explained — 44 colleges, town vs. gown, the founding of Cambridge by Oxford exiles, and Oxford today 16:10 How to Get There — Train from Paddington, Oxford Tube bus, direct from Heathrow, and why not to drive 19:30 Getting Around Oxford — Walking, taxis, park-and-ride pitfalls, and Tolkien's grave 21:10 Day Trip vs. Overnight — Why staying beats leaving, and how Oxford transforms after 4pm 23:40 The Oxford Experience Programme — Christchurch, Worcester College, the Nelson course, high table, and the Enigma course Jonathan wants to do next 33:15 Accommodation Options — Hotels, staying in colleges out of term time, and the Randolph (Inspector Morse's pub) 35:20 The College System Explained — 44 semi-independent colleges, how to apply, porters, scouts, and visiting hours 38:00 Must-See Colleges — Christchurch, Magdalen, Worcester, Merton, Wadham (Brideshead), and the peculiar All Souls 43:00 The Bodleian Library — Five buildings, Duke Humphrey's Library, the Radcliffe Camera, the Divinity School, and why you must book a tour 47:00 Radcliffe Square & St. Mary's Church Tower — The most beautiful urban space in Britain and the best views in Oxford 48:40 The Ashmolean Museum — Britain's first public museum, the Alfred Jewel, Guy Fawkes's lantern, Turner paintings, and it's free 51:00 The Pitt Rivers Museum — Through the Natural History Museum, the shrunken heads, Polynesian canoes, and the Victorian cabinet of curiosities 53:00 Carfax Tower, Oxford Castle & Prison, and the Covered Market — Views, ruins, Brown's Café, and Ben's Cookies 55:30 The Botanic Garden & Broad Street — Riverside walks, the Martyrs' Cross, and the Reformation in Oxford 56:30 Shopping in Oxford — The High Street, Blackwell's, the Norrington Room, OUP Bookshop, Scriptum, The Last Bookshop, and why to skip the Harry Potter tat 01:03:00 Literary Oxford — Lewis Carroll, Tolkien, C.S.

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 109th episode of VideoFuzzy titled "Luther, Earnest and The Doctor," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings, and as of this coming month, June of 2026, I'm marking nine years of VideoFuzzy! [2:20] I celebrate that milestone in part with Part 2 of my conversation with musician, media critic and longtime friend Mikey Heinrich from Minneapolis. Part 1 posted as part of sister podcast effort VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack "Ep. 17: Long Way Down" at https://bit.ly/3MJkPkK  In part 2, we chatted primarily about "Knives Out 3: Wake Up, Dead Man" and "Doctor Who."

CONTENT WARNING: Some discussion of animal cruelty was critical to the investigation and therefore unavoidable. I talked about the child abduction case he took on at the top of the episode, and the parents of astrophysicist Alice Morgan, played by Ruth Wilson. They were found shot dead in their home along with the family's dog. Luther's investigation loops in his supervisor, DSU Rose Teller, and his new partner, DS Justin Ripley, and coincides with developments in his separation from Zoe, his wife, played by Indira Varma, namely her lover Mark North, played by Paul McGann. [1:01:30] In Cross Connections, I trace connections for Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson through my media collection. I identify Stephen Root, Jon Curry and Ben Schwartz as Golden Threads. Also Colin Salmon, David Allan Grier, Robert Englund, Ken Jenkins, Rob Morrow, Maura Tierney, Tzi Ma, Patrick Fischler, Todd Stashwick, Caterina Scorsone, Frances Conroy, Diane Farr and Christian Clementsen. Fond Reflection to Eric Dane and his many years on "Grey's Anatomy." [1:14:14] In my Classic Collection [VHS-to-DVD transfers], I cataloged discs 2001 through 2025. Comments on "Grey's Anatomy," Chelsea Handler's appearance as host of the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and comments at the recent roast of Kevin Hart on Netflix. Also, "The Simpsons," [IG] "Glee," [IG] "Mike & Molly," "Undercovers," "Castle," "Rubicon," "The Office" and "Community." [1:29:38] In my Current Collection [direct to digital], I archived the National Theatre presentation of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" [IG] starring Ncuti Gatwa, Hugh Skinner, Sharon D. Clark, Ronke Adoluejo, Eliza Scanlen and Amanda Lawrence. [1:31:28] In Book Reports, I chat about Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre," Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights," Daphne du Maurier's "Rebecca" and Margot Douaihy's "Scorched Grace," all of which I can trace as recommendations at one time or another by the "All About Agatha" podcast.

Vincent Price no fue solo el gran aristócrata del horror, la voz aterciopelada del espanto y el hombre capaz de convertir un asesinato en una pieza de cámara. Fue también una figura mucho más compleja de lo que permite la postal heteronormativa del Hollywood clásico: un actor camp antes de que medio mundo aprendiera la palabra, un hombre rodeado de códigos, silencios y afectos imposibles de encajar en la versión oficial, y un aliado valiente de las personas LGTBIQ+ cuando hacerlo todavía tenía coste. En este episodio recorremos su carrera, sus matrimonios, los testimonios sobre sus vínculos amorosos con hombres, su relación con Oscar Wilde, su apoyo a su hija lesbiana y su lugar en esa historia queer que no siempre grita, pero nunca deja de susurrar.

Today's poem is On My History of Kissing Everyone At Parties by Isabelle Correa. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Today's poem was introduced to me by a friend of mine, the playwright and director Moisés Kaufman. If you've seen or read The Laramie Project or Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde, you know his work. Moisés read this poem to me recently, and it moved me so much — the words themselves, and his face lighting up, and the warmth in his voice as he was taking so much pleasure from each line.” This show is supported by gifts from listeners.

Have you ever looked at yourself in a photo and cringed, or seen yourself in a video and thought – Yich – do I really look that bad? Other people don't seem to have a problem with how you look, but somehow you always do. And it's not just you by the way … we all do it. Today, we're going to discover how you and I can be truly happy with who you are.   Being Happy with Who I Am As I look around at people, big, small, black, white, young, old … what I see is an awful lot of people who aren't happy with their lot in life. And as you talk to them, what it often comes down to is not that they're not happy with their lot and the things that are going on – although that's sometimes part of it – but something much deeper going on. Because more often than not, they're not happy with who they are. In our last program, we chatted about the fact, that often, that's because we feel we don't measure up to what the world expects of us but today, I'd like to go even deeper than that again. Let me ask you, forgetting everything that goes on around you, when you're alone in a quiet room, completely alone, do you like who you are? Are you excited about who you are … your potential? Do you enjoy your own company? Or are you one of these people who can't stand to see themselves in a photograph or in a mirror? Every now and then I think to myself, "it's time to get right in your face about something", and today's one of those days. I mean, I don't mean to shove anything down your throat, that's never my intention but I don't know, I just feel that today it's time to really challenge you about how you see yourself. I'm someone who for many, many years, in fact the first 36 years of my life, appeared to be so confident on the outside. I have to tell you, everyone who ever met me thought to themselves, "this guy is so confident". But on the inside, which after all is where we live and where we feel and where we laugh and where we cry, I wasn't happy with who I was. People would never have guessed it, because in my confidence I used to roll over the top of them. I'm not talking about the things that we do but who we actually are. As a woman by the name of Joyce Meyer says, "It's not our do that I'm talking about but our who." I didn't like my "who", I didn't like myself and you know the more I tried to pump myself up in my own eyes and in the eyes of others, somehow the lower I sank in my own estimation. But the very day, the very instant that I gave my life to Jesus back in 1995, from that moment onward I knew I was okay. I've thought a lot about this and I thought why did it happen like that? It's one of those things that changed in an instant for me, why? This is such a deep thing. My own self image had been plaguing me for years and years. How could it change in an instant? So far as I can see, there's only one answer because on that day I felt accepted and I felt loved in a whole new way, at a whole different level. Different people believe different things. Oh – whatever you believe – let me ask you this? Does your belief system, does your faith – whatever that is – make you feel loved and accepted? Does it bring healing to that deep, nagging suspicion that you're not good enough? Does it bring you into a place where you are truly happy and content with who you are? I never used to be able to look at myself in a photo without cringing. I recently had a photo shoot, something I have to do from time to time, to get some images to use on websites and in the back of my books, that sort of thing. And when the photos came back, I looked at them and I was really happy with what I saw. I'm never going to win a beauty competition, you understand – that's because I'm just a pretty ordinary looking kind of man. But as I looked at those photos, I smiled, because I realised that I now like myself. I didn't become Mr Perfect overnight and all my faults and all my failures and all my weaknesses didn't disappear in an instant, it's not how it works. Sometimes I make mistakes – I don't like that. So I get up and learn, and work on my weaknesses. But fundamentally, these days, I'm really happy with who I am … and indeed with who I'm not. So change in me didn't happen overnight but the thing that did happen is that I knew that God had accepted me just as I was and that even though I could see all the things I'd done wrong, that I was completely forgiven. He came to me and said, "Now, that you have a new beginning let me help you to change." That's the thing, I thought if God sees me that way maybe it's time for me to see me that way and still today there are some things that I'm really good at and others that I'm just not and I may never be. Some of the things that come naturally to you, I'll never be able to do it's unconditional love that brought me to a point with all my heart, I'm delighted to be who I am. I often say to my wife, Jacqui, "I'm so glad I'm me, I never want to be anyone else." That is a gift from God because I never liked me before. Let me get in your face and ask you a question, is it time for you to ask yourself do I see myself the way God does? Do I love me in the right way, not proud and arrogant but in a humble delight in who he made me to be? Because how can you and I possibly ever be the me we were meant to be and live the life we were created to live, if we don't like who we are. When we compare ourselves to other people and think – Wow, I wish I was like him, or I wish I was like her … we're completely missing the point. Completely. I will never be a basketball player, because I'm too short. I will never be a surgeon, because I don't have the skill in my hands. I will never be a pop star, because I can't sing. But what I can be, is the best me that I can possibly be. And you know something – that's just fine with me. And the reason it's fine with me is that I was handcrafted by God and the love that He's shown me is the unconditional love of Jesus … Jesus His one and only Son, who died so that I might be forgiven. We can't truly be happy with who we are, until we know beyond any shadow of doubt that Jesus died to pay for all our shortcomings and failings and because the price is fully paid, we can now stand before God completely forgiven, completely whole, completely loved. And if you've ever stood in that place – with your faith in Jesus … Jesus alone – you will know that the acceptance of God is what makes you whole. The love and acceptance of God – is what sets us free to see ourselves through His eyes.   Discovering My Gift I think we all have a sense of wanting to fulfil our destiny, doing the things we're meant to do, achieving the things we're meant to achieve and being the person we're meant to be. But the more I talk to people the more I discover how many aren't happy with who they are. I spent a good many years of my life comparing myself with other people, here's how it goes. Here's what we do when we compare ourselves with other people: all we see, are their good points: 'he's athletic and good looking, and she's really intelligent, and he's caring, and she's so perceptive about people, boy he's got such great hand-eye co-ordination, that couple over there everyone seems to like them. He is such a good cook, she has her house so tidy, they have such well behaved kids.' You see what's going on here right? We construct some super human unreality which is a pastiche of the very best points of everyone we know and then when we don't live up to that unreality, all of a sudden we come to the conclusion that …, "Ah, I'm a failure". Never mind that everybody we know is good a some things and not at others, never mind that each one of those people has weaknesses as well as strengths. We tend to construct an unrealistic image of who we should be and then we spend a lifetime, fuelled by the advertising industry - with all these images of success - we spend a lifetime trying to live up to something that no-one can ever be or live up to. Hello! The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. The family next door always seem perfect compared to our family.That job that your friend has – that's the perfect job, … look at mine. I'll never have a job like that. I'll never have a husband as good as hers, or a wife as good as his, my children will never grow up to be like their kids, my house will never look as nice as … Are you getting the picture here?! I wonder if we did a stock take of our strengths and weaknesses maybe sit down with a few people who really know us well whether we would look at that and go, "That's not a bad plus and minus ledger, you know, okay there are some things here I'm not very good at but actually there's one or two things here, oh, that's really my gig, that's my shtick, that's what I do." The Apostle Paul in Romans, chapter 12:3-8 wrote this he said, By the grace given to me let me say this to you, don't think of yourself more highly than you should but instead look at yourself with sober judgement in accordance with the measure of faith that God's given you. Just as each one of us has a body with many members these members don't all have the same function and so in Jesus, we who are many form one body, each member belongs to the other. We have different gifts according to the grace given to us, if your gift is in prophesying, then do that in proportion with the faith that God has given you. If it's in serving then for goodness sake go and serve. If your gift is teaching go and teach. If your gift is encouragement go and encourage people, if it's contributing to the needs of others giving well for goodness sake give generously and if it's leadership then lead diligently and if it's showing mercy then go and do it cheerfully. Isn't that beautiful? I love this passage and I come back to it often because what it says is, "Look! You can go and think of yourselves either too highly or too lowly". There is nothing worse than when you see someone who aspires to doing something or being something and you look at them and think, "it's just not them'. If you could see me I'm 5 foot 9.5 right, 174 cm if you think in metric. I may want to be a basketball player, I don't, but if I did I could never be a basketball player, you know why? I'm too short and it doesn't matter how much I hope I could be a great basketball player, when you're up against 6.5 to 7 foot basketball players you can't win. It is so sad to see people to aspire to something they just can't do. People who want to be leaders, even though they were never cut out to be leaders. People who want to be singers, when they can't sing to save themselves – have you ever watched those talent show auditions on television and someone comes out to sing and they think they're brilliant, but in fact they're terrible?It's embarrassing. It's painful. They look so foolish. Paul's saying here, "The body has many members; each one belongs to all the others." When we get comfortable with our strengths and our weaknesses, with who we are and who we're not, with the idea that we're all meant to be different and complementary, that's the way it's meant to work – it is such an exciting thing because you know what? We're not threatened anymore, we're not touchy anymore, we can relax. We can enjoy the things that we're good at and let other people do the things we're not good at. And the very clear message is this: do what you were made to do; discover your gift, your unique talent and ability, that thing that you're good at, that thing that you enjoy doing … and for Pete's sake go and be you. Go and do that – because that's what it means to fulfil your destiny. Right there.That's it!!! Now there are always going to be some things in our lives we have to do that we don't enjoy doing. Now maybe you're a young mother thinking … "But Berni what I really enjoy being is a mum. Just seeing my kids grow up, that's all." As though that's not one of the most important things on the planet, "Well Berni, you know I'm only an accountant." WHAT! That's fabulous, I could never be an accountant, we need accountants. Thank God for Elia! When we pick something up and put it into God's hands, when we're being the me we're meant to be it is just the most awesome thing and so many people spend their lives doing jobs, aspiring to things that they just aren't. I'm not saying set low standards, I'm not saying don't aim high, I'm someone who always aims high, always think big but you know I don't think big about being a basketball player. What I think big about is doing the things that God made me to do and when we persist and get good at them, it's so wonderful to be the me we were meant to be. Not someone else's "me" but my me and your me.   Becoming Who I Already Am Survey after survey tells us that 75% of people don't enjoy their work. I wonder how many of those are trying to do a job they just weren't cut out to do, it's just not them. And yet it's not all that hard to see how different we each are. A child at school who is great at creative writing – but terrible at mathematics. So – what do we do? We make them work harder at their mathematics, instead of encouraging them to go with the creative writing thing that we're good at. Of course, we all have to do a few things that we're not good at from time to time, but if we end up majoring in those things, it's a disaster.  When I left school I was accepted into a medicine degree – I would have made a terrible doctor, and a law degree – and same with being a lawyer because the law is all about detail and I'm not into detail. So – pardon me for saying so, but blind Freddie can see that we have all been made differently. I think it was Oscar Wilde who said – Be yourself, Everybody else is already taken. Pretty good thought that. Okay baby is born right, what does it grow up to be? It grows into who it already is, let me explain. A little baby gets born, it can't even go to the toilet on its own, it can't feed itself, it can't protect itself – in fact it can't do anything pretty much except eat, sleep, scream and dirty its nappy. So …is it any less a human being than you and me? Well, no of course not, this little bubs is just in an early stage of life and just like we all did, it goes through all stages. It begins to recognise and smile at its parents and the psyche develops and it grows an awareness and it crawls and walks and it becomes a toddler and it goes to school and becomes a teenager and then an adult, it's a natural progression. What is it that influences who that little baby becomes when it grows up? Well two things, firstly its natural disposition, its abilities, who God made that child to be and secondly, the things that happen along the way. Now some of those things along the way are positive, some of those things like the good parents who love you and good teachers at school. Those things develop the child's natural abilities, but some of the things that happen rob the person, rob the child, give it a wrong impression of itself. You see bad things will always happen to good people, they do, they always have and they always will. But if we know who we are and if we let God into our lives to be with us, to develop us, to care for us, to nurture us, those bad things instead of robbing us end up enhancing our characters. The negatives get turned into a positive. The problem is so many people never get with God's plan for who they are. For years I tried to be all things to all people, I set myself up to be this and set myself up to be that because I thought it would make me look important and good. But it wasn't until I got with God's plan and started seeing myself the way he sees me that I really started being the me I was meant to be. God made me to be doing what I'm doing right now spending this time with you. I'm never as happy and as fulfilled as when I'm sitting here with you. A friend of mine, a Pastor, once said to me, "You know Berni, you should be more pastoral than that." In other words, you should be around lots more people and you should do this and you should do that and you should be this. And I love people but think about it, much of what I do is I prepare these programs alone and then I come into a studio basically alone. Okay millions of people are listening around the world but they're not in this room with me right now. If God made me to be someone who needed to be around a lot of people, don't you think I'd get awfully lonely doing what I do? He didn't so I don't. Who are you? Who did God make you to be? Maybe you're just one of those people who loves entertaining and having a house full of people over all the time. That's a gift, go and be that person, go and grow into that, go and love it and enjoy it and be the person who God meant you to be. Maybe, maybe you're a quiet, backroom kind of person who does things, book keeping or cleaning or cooking and you know, when you're doing those things you feel so fulfilled, can I tell you something? Go for it, if that's what God made you to be, don't compare with other people, grow in that, develop that, be delighted with who God made you. When we compare ourselves with others, we aspire to be someone who we aren't, who we were never made to be and come on – that's just plain crazy. I'm excited about who God's made me to be – and I focus on the things I'm really good at, try to grow in areas where I'm still a bit immature … and leave the stuff I'm not good at to other people – people who actually love doing those things because they're good at them. It's not really that complicated, is it? Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do the good things that God prepared beforehand for us to walk into. That's exactly what God's Word says – do the things that God prepared for you – not the things that other people want you to do. God knows who we are, he made us and he made us to be the me we were meant to be. Right now in this instant, His heart and His eyes are on you and me and He knows who He made us to be and He is delighting in us. Wake up! It is time to stop trying to be someone else, it is time to stop trying to squeeze into the world's mould, into a shape that doesn't fit, into something that ultimately becomes a distressing straight jacket. He wants each one of us to be the person He meant us to be. I am so excited because God has a plan, he has a plan for me, he has a plan for you. And we only discover who we're meant to be - it only happens when we get right up close to him, when we have a relationship with him through Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "I am the vine and you are the branches. Apart from me you can do nothing." And you know? You're going to grow different fruit to me 'cause that's how Jesus made us. And if you want to grow the fruit that you were meant to grow in your life, you need to get right up close with Him. His word and His Spirit in a rich and dynamic relationship that's so wondrous and so huge and so safe and secure and at the same time exciting, then and only then can we be the me we were meant to be.

Luca Sanfilippo"Le giardiniere"Lucie ColliardEdizioni In Transitowww.edizionintransito.itUn grande sciopero di donne in Bretagna di più di cento anni fa. Alla fame, al freddo, alla stanchezza le operaie addette alla lavorazione delle sardine nell'industria conserviera sono abituate da una vita. Ora però che hanno osato alzare la testa dovranno battersi anche contro la rabbia e il disprezzo dei padroni e la violenza dei loro scagnozzi. In uno sciopero durissimo che prosegue a oltranza per molte settimane sperimenteranno l'importanza di restare unite e la solidarietà concreta  dei loro uomini e delle lavoratrici di tutta la Francia.Lo sciopero del 1924 è raccontato in diretta dalle sue protagoniste: le sardiniere di Douarnenez, una cittadina in cui ogni attività è dedicata alla pesca, la lavorazione e la conservazione delle sardine.Le condizioni di lavoro delle operaie nei conservifici, la quasi totalità della manodopera, sono terribili: niente limiti orari, nessuna igiene e un salario ridicolo, insufficiente a ripagare le privazioni di sonno, salute e affetti. Quel grande sciopero, proprio perché duro e vittorioso, diventerà in Francia una bandiera e un manifesto per il riscatto delle donne.Le immagini che accompagnano la storia sono di Frans Masereel (1889-1972) e sono tratte dai suoi libri senza parole e dai suoi lavori xilografici.Lucie CoillardNata in Alta Savoia nel 1877, Lucie Colliard lavorava come istitutrice quando è stata processata, condannata e incarcerata per le posizioni dichiaratamente antimiltariste che aveva assunto durante la Prima guerra mondiale.Diviene in seguito militante sindacale e partecipa in prima persona allo sciopero delle sardiniere di Douarnenez. Oltre all'attività nel sindacato, Lucie Colliard si impegnerà nelle battaglie per i diritti delle donne e aderirà al Partito comunista dal quale però verrà espulsa nel 1928.Frans MasereelNato a Blankeberge nel 1889 e morto a Avignone nel 1972.Pittore, editore, incisore e illustratore fiammingo, è stato un importante anticipatore del fumetto come arte sequenziale e della graphic novel. Celebre soprattutto per le sue incisioni su legno e di grande successo popolare, Masereel ha iniziato a dedicarsi ai suoi romanzi per immagini (Il libro delle ore 1918, Il sole 1919, L'idea 1920, La città 1925, L'opera 1928) dopo la prima guerra mondiale.Luca Sanfilippo ha curato per Feltrinelli la pubblicazione (nel 2019) di due romanzi per immagini di Frans Masereel: Il libro delle ore e Il sole.In precedenza ha diretto una collana di narrativa per la casa editrice Analogon mentre, nella primavera del 2022, ha promosso e curato la ripubblicazione presso Iperborea del volume illustrato Viaggio verso Nord di Karel Capek.Inoltre, dall'autunno 2022, scrive recensioni teatrali per Stanze sul mare, blog di arte e psicanalisi. Per In transito ha curato la pubblicazione delle novelle L'obbligo di Stefan Zweig e La leggenda del santo bevitore di Joseph Roth, l'antologia sul patriottismo Patrie Lettere con i disegni satirici di Frans Masereel e i due volumi di Apollinaire, Pasmo e Il passante di Praga, illustrati da Josef Čapek. Inoltre ha curato la riedizione del volume Gli stivali del dittatore di Josef Čapek e la scelta dei racconti Storie di polizia di Karel Čapek. Ha tradotto la pièce di teatro Monserrat di Emmanuel Roblès, La ballata del carcere di Reading di Oscar Wilde e, insieme a Gianna Guidoni, la novella Esther Kahn di Arthur Symons. Infine, insieme a Vera Somerova Cordublas, ha curato la versione in italiano delle seguenti opere di Karel Čapek: Avevo un cane e anche un gatto, Dašenka e il Mal bianco.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Celebrities ranging from Oscar Wilde and Sarah Bernhardt to Mark Twain and Walt Whitman all made their way to the top-floor studio in Manhattan's Union Square—with its tiny elevator—to have their images immortalized by Napoleon Sarony, America's most famous photographer during the Gilded Age.  Sarony's genius lay in his ability to stage a photograph using poses, costumes, and makeshift sets, all designed to allow the essence of his subject to emerge. As a result, the portraits he created of so many of the era's leading figures have become their defining, iconic images. But who was Napoleon Sarony himself? In this episode, Dr. Erin Pauwels, author and scholar, joins The Gilded Gentleman at the table to discuss the subject of her latest book Napoleon Sarony's Living Pictures and to delve into Sarony's eccentricities and genius. The show also explores questions of copyright and branding, revealing how, largely through Sarony's work, the modern media celebrity image factory was born."

Arts and media correspondent, Evelyn O Rourke reports from the annual Oscar Wilde awards ceremony which took place in Los Angeles last night.

According to Merriam-Webster, the word "conversation" has 36 synonyms, ranging from the alliterative ("confabulation") to the arcane ("persiflage"). Why the linguistic profusion? Because conversing is a fundamental part — maybe the fundamental part — of being human. We chat with our families, friends, strangers, and co-workers, and we communicate in phone calls, text messages, emails, and (occasionally) postcards. When these tête-à-têtes go well, it is oddly thrilling; we become better versions of ourselves — warmer and wiser, funnier, and consistently insightful. Best of all, a good dialogue is a direct route to connection. "The bond of all companionship," wrote Oscar Wilde, "whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation." But when a conversation goes poorly, when it stays on the surface ("what do you do for a living?") or devolves into a sputtering mess of misunderstanding ("you're overreacting!"), we don't feel the invigorating pulse of connection. What we feel, instead, is the emotional equivalent of a busy signal. So, this hour, we're asking: How can we have better conversations? And to help answer that question, we're joined by Charles Duhigg, a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and the bestselling author of "The Power of Habit" and now Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection. Charles, as you'll hear, is something of supercommunicator himself — a lithe storyteller who is as well-versed in evolutionary biology as he is in the latest psychology — and after studying the art and science of communication for the last few years, he's concluded that anyone can become a great conversationalist. You just have to master a few simple skills. Tune in to find out what they are. (This episode first aired in February 2024.) Watch The Next Big Idea on YouTube!

Joseph Pearce explores Oscar Wilde's life and The Picture of Dorian Gray, revealing a powerful story about vanity, conscience, sin, and the fate of the soul.

What if the books on your nightstand are shaping your soul more than your to-do list ever could? We open with the reality of spiritual warfare, then trace how stories train our desires, sharpen our conscience, and equip us to stand firm when culture bends truth out of shape. This isn't an anti-entertainment rant; it's a field guide for choosing narratives that echo God's order rather than numb us with noise.We dive into why fiction and nonfiction both matter for Christian formation, and how Jesus' parables model the power of narrative to lodge truth in the heart. From late-night dopamine binges to the quiet work of wisdom, we show practical ways to engage books and movies without turning off your brain: pause the scene, name what it's teaching, and measure it against Scripture. We explore beauty, harmony, and resolution in music and art as signposts of a moral universe—one reason some modern stories feel hollow while others satisfy like a resolved chord.Expect vivid examples: Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray as a mirror of conscience, the Odyssey's sirens alongside Proverbs 7, and Tolkien's vision of creation as music that can't be ultimately ruined by discord. We talk Romans 14 maturity, why some should abstain in good conscience, and how others can read widely without losing their footing. Parents will find a blueprint for raising discerning readers—training kids to “smell” the story beneath the story—plus a starter canon that ranges from Little House and Lewis to Moby Dick and Tolkien.Listen to build a wiser bookshelf, a braver heart, and a home that treats every movie night like a masterclass in truth, goodness, and beauty.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 10, 2026 is: besmirch • bih-SMERCH • verb To besmirch the reputation, name, honor, etc. of someone or something is to cause harm or damage to it. // The allegations have besmirched the company's reputation. See the entry > Examples: "... in 1895, a ruthless public smear campaign hinging on [Oscar] Wilde's queerness led to the author's imprisonment, outing, and eventual exile. ... Famously, the British press conspired to draw the dramatist's name through the mud, besmirching his literary legacy for generations to follow." — Brittany Allen, LitHub.com, 20 Oct. 2025 Did you know? The prefix be- has several applications in English; in the case of besmirch, it means "to make or cause to be." But what does smirch itself mean? Since the 1400s, smirch has been used as a verb meaning "to make dirty, stained, or discolored." Besmirch joined English in the early 1600s, and today smirch and besmirch are both used when something—and especially something abstract, like a reputation—is being figuratively sullied, i.e., damaged or harmed. Besmirch isn't unique in its journey; English has a history of attaching be- to existing verbs to form synonyms. For example, befriend combines be- in its "to make or cause to be" sense with the verb friend, meaning "to act as the friend of." Befuddle combines be- in its "thoroughly" sense with fuddle, meaning "to stupefy with or as if with drink." And befog combines be- in its "to provide or cover with" sense with fog, meaning "to cover with or as if with fog."
