Before the world knew Oscar Wilde, Ireland knew Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde: the son of a famous nationalist poet mother and a pioneering surgeon who grew up at the heart of Ireland's cultural renaissance of the 19th century, between Dublin and famine-ravaged County Mayo. We discuss how Ireland shaped the budding writer and how Irish politics and the context of the time are key to understanding who he was. This is the first episode in a series dedicated to Wilde, a fascinating and pivotal figure for Ireland and the wider world, made available early for Patreon supporters.

Nineteenth-century Irish novelist, playwright, and raconteur Oscar Wilde, widely known for his witticisms and observations about life, is generally credited with the following arguably astute advice: “One should always be in love. That is the reason why one should never marry.” And it's most fitting that those very words should eloquently serve as a cinematic epigraph at the start of a new comedy-drama about a casual, neighborly social occasion that goes awry while  simultaneously providing its unsuspecting participants with new, revelatory insights about life, love, marriage, sexuality, and a host of other topics, “The Invite.” Find out more in a review of this hilarious yet thoughtful new offering in the next edition of The Cinema Scribe.

El famoso príncipe de Oscar Wilde.

"Book of Bargains" by Vincent O'Sullivan is a compelling collection of short horror stories that delve into the theme of making deals with the devil, both literally and metaphorically. As a prominent literary figure and a friend of Oscar Wilde, O'Sullivan's work captures the essence of the decadent movement, exploring the darker sides of human nature and desire. These tales resonate with timeless themes of temptation, sacrifice, and the moral dilemmas that arise when one seeks to gain at the expense of their soul. With each story, listeners are invited to reflect on the nature of their own choices and the bargains they strike in life, making this collection a hauntingly relevant experience for contemporary audiences.

In his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde tells the story of a handsome young man who makes a deal with the Devil—his soul, in exchange for eternal youth and beauty. But there is a portrait of Dorian in the attic of his house, and as he moves through the years with his handsome face not aging, the portrait ages—and it also begins to show the poison seeping through him as he lives his life in soulless, selfish pursuit of hedonistic pleasures. He drives a young woman to suicide and doesn't feel bad about it. He becomes more and more of a toxic force in the lives of the people around him. And when his friend finally calls him out on it, Dorian murders him. He couldn't bear the fact that his best friend could see him for what he really was—the true, monstrous face behind the handsome façade. It's a hell of a metaphor, and it's what we've said so many times on our show about narcissists: that they want to indulge themselves at the expense of everybody else, but would rather die than be exposed for it. Today's story is about a real-life Dorian Gray, a man who used his charm and charisma to lure in a talented, intelligent woman, only to throw her life into chaos and leave broken wreckage behind.

What does it actually mean to show up to church? Pastor Paxton sits down for a wide-ranging AMA following his sermon from Romans 12, and the conversation gets uncomfortable fast—probing the gap between what we say we want from church and what God actually asks of us. From the cynic who knows the price of everything to the sentimentalist who values all the wrong things, Paxton draws on Oscar Wilde to diagnose something most churchgoers would rather not admit about themselves. Plus: when is it actually okay to leave a church, how do you give generously to people who treat you as disposable, and where have all the good men (and women) gone?   Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.

In this episode, we paraphrase Oscar Wilde in the sense that a cynic knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing. In this episode, we examined reasons why most people prefer not to date cynics and some of the characteristics of associated with them and make a start comparison between a cynical relationship and one that is reality based. Even though there may be a conflation of the two, there are Stark differences in that one is based on perpetual suspicion and criticism and the other is more fair and balanced.

Good morning. If you've ever seen the musical ‘Godspell' – and yes, it's still in the repertoire for colleges and theatre companies round the world – you'll remember the catchy opening chorus: ‘Pre…ee, pare ye, the way of the Lord…' – I'm tempted but I'm not going to sing it – the point of the chorus is to accompany the arrival of John the Baptist, the herald, of Jesus. Today, the 24th June, the Church celebrates the birth of this extraordinary figure of Jewish history, who appears not only in the Gospels but in the writings of the first century Jewish historian, Josephus. John's birth is traditionally the 24th June, 6 months before Christmas, and it also comes just after the Summer Solstice – and that has symbolic meaning too, because John reportedly said of Jesus Christ. ‘He must increase but I must decrease'. However bright the sun is in today's sky and however long the day, we're on the way down to long nights and shorter days. John the Baptist is known as the forerunner, the one who, as the chorus insists, prepared the way of the Lord. Yet he did not see his hopes fulfilled, at least not in the way he expected. He was arrested by the local puppet King, Herod Antipas, and beheaded in prison in a macabre episode when Herod's niece, Salome, danced so fetchingly before Herod that he offered her any reward she would like – and she asked for the prophet's head on a platter. Yuk. Oscar Wilde wrote a one-act play about it, and I remember playing Salome's evil mother who had prompted the request. So John the forerunner, the herald, ended up disgraced, confused, betrayed – and was never quite sure whether Jesus was the one whose coming he had prophesied or whether it would turn out to be someone else. John's story makes me realise how little we understand the significance of our own lives. We're all part of a stream of history, we come and go, but the stream goes on. There's so much in society that tells us we can be who we like and achieve what we want, that our sole purpose is to maximise our own significance. The story of John comes as a corrective. We are not Messiahs, World Kings, or even as one world leader puts it, ‘Very Stable Geniuses'. Yet we all have some capacity for discernment. We can practise truthfulness and generosity and be humble before God and one another. What comes after us we cannot know but all of us we can hope and pray the days ahead will bring flourishing and peace to ourselves and our overheating planet.

“O príncipe feliz” (1888) é conto de Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) que dá título à sua famosa coleção de contos infantis onde o autor incrivelmente une a fantasia com a crítica social. Em O Príncipe Feliz e outras histórias temos o entrelaçar de parábolas sobre amor, vaidade e generosidade, como é o caso de ‘O príncipe feliz”. Apresentado como uma estátua no alto da colina, na cidade onde já vivera, ao conhecer Andorinha, o príncipe rememora sua vida luxuosa de antes, o que acentua a leitura do que está por vir. Como objeto de arte, o príncipe tinha todo o corpo coberto por ouro, além de rubi em sua espada, chumbo em seu coração e, os olhos do príncipe feliz eram de safiras vindas da Índia. É uma história de amor, solidariedade e desprendimento, pois através da Andorinha, ele doa tudo o que é, para ajudar o próximo. O príncipe feliz fica totalmente cego, pois destina suas duas safiras. Uma foi para o estudante e outra, para a pequena menina dos fósforos. “Você está cego agora, por isso, ficarei com você para sempre”, disse Andorinha ao príncipe. Passou a lhe contar histórias sobre o que via em terras estrangeiras. Inúmeros aprendizados, tempos e espaços. O ciclo da vida de ambos foi se entrelaçando em trocas. Para além dos olhos, ironia gigantesca do conto é o fato de a estátua ter coração de chumbo. A morte da Andorinha e a queda do coração de chumbo partindo-se em dois, é concomitante, logo após o beijo na boca. Aos olhos dos mortais, a estátua parecia acabada. Mas a última voz na história, é de Deus.

The Picture of Dorian Gray: Oscar Wilde's Uncensored Vision with Professor Nicholas Frankel In this captivating episode of The Archetypal Mosaic, host Mikhail Tank welcomes distinguished Wilde scholar, editor, and biographer Professor Nicholas Frankel for an illuminating discussion on Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, censorship, beauty, morality, identity, and the enduring power of art. Professor Frankel is internationally recognized for his groundbreaking scholarship on Wilde and for restoring the author's original vision in The Picture of Dorian Gray: An Annotated, Uncensored Edition. Together, Mikhail and Professor Frankel explore the novel's controversial publication history, the passages removed or altered during censorship, and the themes that continue to resonate with readers more than a century later. The conversation journeys through Wilde's extraordinary life, his wit, brilliance, and public struggles, while examining the symbolic relationship between Dorian Gray, Basil Hallward, Lord Henry Wotton, and the mysterious portrait itself. The discussion also considers how Wilde's ideas speak directly to modern concerns surrounding image, influence, authenticity, and the masks people wear in society. Topics include: • What first drew Professor Frankel to Oscar Wilde's work • Why The Picture of Dorian Gray remains a literary masterpiece • The creation of the Annotated, Uncensored Edition • Victorian censorship and public controversy • Wilde's life and the reception of his work • Beauty, morality, identity, influence, shadow, and masks • The symbolism of the portrait and the soul • Wilde's enduring relevance in the twenty-first century • The relationship between art and transformation • What Oscar Wilde might think of today's world A rich and thought-provoking conversation for lovers of literature, psychology, creativity, symbolism, and the eternal mysteries of the adult soul.  Guest: Professor Nicholas Frankel Host: Mikhail Tank Series: The Archetypal Mosaic Featured Books by Professor Nicholas Frankel The Picture of Dorian Gray: An Annotated, Uncensored Edition https://www.amazon.com/Picture-Dorian-Gray-Annotated-Uncensored/dp/0674057929 Oscar Wilde: The Unrepentant Years https://www.amazon.com/Oscar-Wilde-Unrepentant-Nicholas-Frankel/dp/0674737946 The Invention of Oscar Wilde https://www.amazon.com/Invention-Oscar-Wilde-Nicholas-Frankel/dp/1789144140

Are you old enough for fairy tales? Inspired by the words of Oscar Wilde, The Wounds of Love and Other Gifts, created by award-winning theatre artist Bruce Dow, is an intimate music-theatre meditation on love, sacrifice, and the cost of giving. This haunting, radiant new work reframes fairy stories as moral encounters, inviting audiences to reflect on truth, beauty, and what we are willing to give of ourselves.Website

Founded in London in the 19th century, Liberty has always been known for its embrace of bold and daring style. Oscar Wilde called it “the chosen resort of the artistic shopper,” a reputation that stuck for 150 years—today, Liberty is one of the most-visited stores in London. In recent years, the brand has been known more for fashion than home, but head of design for Liberty Interiors Genevieve Bennett has been tasked to revitalize the interiors fabric business, and she's been on a tear, overseeing new collections that tap the company's incredible archive while looking ahead to the future.  In this episode, host Dennis Scully speaks with Bennett about how Liberty approaches design for different regions around the world, why they're being cautious about performance fabrics, and the good news that color and pattern are officially back.   This episode is sponsored by Ernesta and KohlerLINKSLiberty InteriorsGenevieve BennettDennis ScullyBusiness of Home

Imitation is a huge part of the human experience, as we imitate role models and loved ones. Oscar Wilde called it the 'highest form of flattery'. But what did imitation – or mimesis – look like in early Christianity? To find out, Helen and Lloyd take a trip in the time machine with Professor Cornelis Bennema. They discuss what imitation meant in the ancient world, how the New Testament writers adapted the concept, and why Paul instructs his listeners to 'imitate me'. Dr Cornelis (‘Cor') Bennema is Head of Research and Professor of New Testament Studies at the London School of Theology. His main research interests include the Johannine literature, character studies in biblical narrative and early Christian ethics. He is the author of a number of works on mimesis, most recently Imitation in Early Christianity: Mimesis and Religious-Ethical Formation (Eerdmans, 2025). Support the showTheme music written and performed by Dave Roos, creator of Biblical Time Machine. Season 4 produced by John Nelson. 

A beautifully touching story about a Giant who learns the joy of sharing his garden when he allows a mysterious child to play there.  The “Child” later returns to take the Giant to his home in Paradise.

Christopher and Eric wrap up their special month of Pride Pairings by serving up a boisterous biopic of the great Oscar Wilde that didn't age quite as well as they'd hoped. In WILDE, Stephen Fry's excellent performance as the title subject is hypnotic, and Jude Law scorches a hole in the screen as his manipulative young lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. But does this sprawling film truly capture the magnetism, wit and appetites of the iconic literary figure at its center? Or is it held back by the constraints of late 90's cinema? And, of course, most important in a Dinner Partners Pairing, do the facts hold up?

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars,” Oscar Wilde wrote in his 1892 play Lady Windermere's Fan. This week, Elon Musk managed — not for the first time — to be simultaneously in the stars and the gutter. SpaceX's IPO valued his rocket company at $2 trillion — making Musk, officially, a trillionaire, the richest person in the world by a very large margin. The space Musk — the defiant genius who bet everything on a reusable rocket and the promise of a cosmic monopoly — is astonishing. The Wall Street Journal called the IPO a Goldilocks debut with Musk starring as the three bears. But there is another Musk — the one in the gutter, promoting white nationalist violence from his platform on X. This week Musk not only stoked the anti-immigrant riots in Belfast but reiterated his support for the English white supremacist gangster Tommy Robinson. So is this another Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella? Keith Teare, publisher of That Was the Week, certainly thinks so. While Keith is in awe of Musk's entrepreneurial genius at SpaceX, he seems to excuse Musk's support for Tommy Robinson's paramilitarism. “I'm not even sure I like him,” Keith confesses in his musings on “civilisation.” Nor do the rest of us. But I wonder if this good/bad Elon narrative is too convenient. There is an uncomfortable symbiosis between Musk's journey to SpaceX and to white nationalist violence. For all the utopian cornucopia of space, our earthly reality is one of scarce land and fear of immigrants — Trump, Tommy Robinson, and this weekend's Swiss referendum on capping its population at 10 million. For all the Muskian promise of cosmic abundance, today's Muskian politics is paranoid and exclusionary. So maybe it's not just Elon. Everyone these days is simultaneously in the gutter and looking up at the stars. Five Takeaways •       SpaceX: From El Segundo Warehouse to $2 Trillion Juggernaut: SpaceX is 25 years old. It started in a warehouse near Los Angeles, in an area with a concentration of rocket scientists. Musk bet almost all of his Tesla gains on the idea of a reusable rocket — and nearly lost everything. Then a rocket worked. Since then: iterative improvement, the rockets getting bigger and more reliable, a virtual global monopoly on delivering payloads to space, Starlink (satellite internet that actually works at gigabit speeds), and NASA subcontracting its launches. Now: $2 trillion at IPO, Musk a trillionaire. Wall-to-wall applause from the startup world. Wall-to-wall pylon on social media. Both simultaneously true. •       The Grimace vs the Applause: Andrew vs Keith's Media Diet: Keith says most commentators are grimacing at the valuation and Musk's net worth. Andrew says the serious press — the Wall Street Journal, even the New York Times — is largely applauding. The exchange reveals the media bifurcation: mainstream outlets cover the achievement; social media — X, Facebook, LinkedIn — is wall-to-wall outrage about a trillionaire in a world of growing inequality. Keith's verdict on Musk: he doesn't care whether people like him. Neither, in Keith's view, should we. You judge him not on likability but on criteria: civilization or net worth. Different criteria, different judgment. •       California and Europe: The Failure of Government: Fareed Zakaria in the Washington Post: California is a case study in failed government. Andrew had Jonathan Weber on the show this week — City on the Edge, the historic dysfunctionality of San Francisco city government. Fukuyama is trying to be optimistic about Europe's liberal future. Keith's counter: Fukuyama ignores the structural problem — top-heavy EU bureaucracy that overrides countries, producing dislike of the EU in every European nation, even France, which built it. Populism, Keith argues, is not the disease. It's the symptom. The disease is twenty years of bad policy. •       Bernie Sanders Finally Had an Insight: The Sovereign Wealth Fund: Sanders has proposed a sovereign wealth fund owning 50% of all high-growth AI companies, giving every citizen ownership shares. Keith, who last week said 50% wasn't enough, this week credits it as the first genuine insight Sanders has had. The kicker: David Sacks — arch right-winger, former PayPal Mafia, Andreessen Horowitz — agreed on his podcast and said it should be 75%. Keith's observation: when David Sacks and Bernie Sanders can agree on the direction, left-right labels stop helping. The question is just how to make capitalism's gains flow to everyone. •       Planning Beats Complaint: Keith's editorial closer. The choice is not between liking Musk and hating Musk, not between celebrating SpaceX and resenting its valuation. The choice is between complaining and planning. John O'Farrell, former general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, resigned and wrote an op-ed in the New York Times: “We can't let my former venture capital colleagues buy off democracy.” Gary Tan organised an Asian-American reaction against San Francisco's school board and won. Citizens who act beat citizens who complain. That's the week's lesson. That's Keith's lesson. Andrew is away next week. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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!
