Podcasts about other tales

This week we have been exclusively watching 'Magic Mike', shaking a Magic 8-Ball and listening to '24k Magic' by Bruno Mars (which is just awful) in order to win the slightly nervous attention of Adam Ferrier, founder of Thinkerbell; the thinkers, tinkers and practitioners of ‘measured magic'.  A psychology brain sat on top of some sturdy strategy bones, Adam is a rare voice of reason in the largely barmy brand world – as well as being the chief sceptic when it comes to the industry obsession with ‘the customer'. He's also the author of more superb books, including ‘The Advertising effect: How to Change Behaviour' and supplements all this talk-talking with some serious walk-walking through his work that brings marketing science and creative thinking together.  In this episode Adam shares his expertise on brands who forget how to be brands, why every business problem is a behaviour change problem and the forgotten benefits of simply fitting in. This episode is very proudly dedicated to Anne Young.    /////    Follow Adam on LinkedIn Timestamps 09:16 - The impact of D&AD annuals on Adam's career choice 11:19 - Transition from forensic psychology to marketing 16:12 - The perils of customer obsession 22:57 - Balancing brand and customer needs 25:11 - The importance of consumer research Adam's Book Recommendations are: Stop Listening to Your Customers by Adam Ferrier: The Advertising Effect: How to Change Behaviour by Adam Ferrier:  Love's Executioner and Other Tales of Psychotherapy by Irvin Yalom:  Existential Psychotherapy by Irvin Yalom:  Here and Now: Tales from the Heart  by Irvin Yalom:  /////

 Joe E. Meisel is a biologist, a conservationist, and an educator. He is a cofounder of the Ceiba Foundation for Tropical Conservation. We spoke to Joe about the fascinating behaviors, remarkable adaptations, and complex life histories of the many species of saltwater fishes, some of the present-day and historical connections between humans and the sea, and why despite the many challenges our oceans face, there's reason to be optimistic about the future of our oceans and fishes.

Come to... Pod-dy? We're straining for puns over here, but we've got a fun remote-recorded episode today, featuring the return of author and podcaster Garon Cockrell (Demonic and Other Tales). It's a follow-up to last year's Nightbreed episode, in which Tyler voiced his dislike for body horror. For being such a good sport, we reward him with more Clive Barker: the 1987 film Hellraiser, directed by Barker and adapted from his own novella, The Hellbound Heart. There are discussions of the story's psychosexual dynamics and hazy mythology, plus a bit about the sequels and remakes.   Hosted by Allan Traylor, Tyler Austin, and Justin Remer. Produced by Justin Remer. (sorry about the mixed-bag sound) Recorded remotely via Zencastr.  Opening music: "Optimism (Instrumental) by Duck the Piano Wire.  Closing music: "Rule of 3s (Solemnity Child)" by Elastic No-No Band.

With the Stennings and their guests gathered round the fireplace on Christmas Eve, Northanger offers to share a very different ghost story, based on a strange and baffling encounter of the year before. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “GANTHONY'S WIFE” by E. Temple Thurston (1926). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to an upcoming episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem, my bonus show for paying YouTube channel members and Patreon supporters. CREATOR'S NOTE: These recordings contain sound effects and music because that's what I personally like to listen to, and what I enjoy making. As you will see from the comments, a lot of the listeners also like it. If it's not your thing, please feel free to listen to the many other narrators who are voice-only. I'm sure they'll be glad to hear from you.

El horror del arco medio (The Horror from the Middle Span) es un relato de terror de los escritores norteamericanos August Derleth (1909-1971) y H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), publicado originalmente por Arkham House en la antología de 1967: Viajeros de noche (Travellers by Night), y luego reeditado en la colección de 1971: La habitación cerrada y otros cuentos de terror (The Shuttered Room and Other Tales of Terror). El horror del arco medio, tal vez uno de los cuentos de August Derleth menos conocidos, relata la historia de Ambrose Bishop, un inglés que se muda a la casa en ruinas de sus ancestros, situada cerca de Dunwich y Arkham, donde han estado ocurriendo extrañas desapariciones. ¡¡¡¡SPOILERS!!!! El horror del arco medio es una de las muchas colaboraciones póstumas de August Derleth y H.P. Lovecraft, y probablemente la menos justificada de todas. De hecho, la única colaboración del flaco de Providence aquí es una breve nota con una idea para un posible relato, a partir de la cual August Derleth construyó todo el argumento: Antiguo puente de piedra (¿romano? ¿prehistórico?) Arrastrado por una (¿repentina y curiosa?) tormenta. Algo es liberado, algo que había sido sellado en la mampostería del arco medio del puente años atrás. Ambrose Bishop hereda una propiedad en Dunwich, anteriormente la residencia de su tío abuelo, Septimus Bishop, que desapareció 19 años antes. El lugar, aunque en mal estado, es habitable, incluso hay libros y papeles tirados sobre las mesas, como si su anterior ocupante se hubiese ido repentinamente. La gente de Dunwich es un poco hosca, como de costumbre, incluido el omnipresente Tobias Whateley. De hecho, Ambrose encuentra la misma reacción hostil que el joven Whateley en La habitación cerrada (The Shuttered Room), pero de todas formas obtiene algo de información: Septimus fue asesinado por sus vecinos, pero no hay más que rumores al respecto. Ambrose comienza a investigar. Todo lo que encuentra es que Septimus desapareció y, al mismo tiempo, que alguien reforzó el arco medio de un puente en desuso sobre el río Miskatonic. De vuelta en la casa, encuentra algunos textos astrológicos, un telescopio, algunos símbolos extraños y, en el sótano, un tramo de escaleras que conducen a una serie de túneles, una cámara circular con un altar, y una trampilla oculta en el bosque, cerca del puente. También hay una tercera puerta en los túneles que Ambrose opta por no abrir, por el momento. Ambrose encuentra algunos papeles y cartas que hacen referencia al culto de la Sabiduría de las Estrellas (Starry Wisom) [devotos de Nyarlathotep], y una carta del propio Wilbur Whateley, refiriendo algunos fragmentos de El horror de Dunwich (The Horror of Dunwich), sobre todo historias de niños desaparecidos en la zona. Una tormenta colapsa el puente, incluido el arco medio [cuyas reparaciones incluyeron una estrella de cinco puntas a modo de sello]. Ambrose revisa el área y recoge algunos huesos humanos esparcidos en el agua. Inexplicablemente se los lleva a casa, donde desaparecen. Esa noche, Ambrose sueña con los huesos reuniéndose en su tío, y con una criatura que cambia de forma: de gato negro a monstruo octopoide, de cerda gigante a una encantadora mujer desnuda. Al despertar, ve a Septimus y a su misteriosa compañera... y vuelve a desmayarse. Por la mañana, Ambrose encuentra huellas frescas que conducen a la sala del altar, y sangre fresca sobre él. El tío Septimus y su familiar aparecen en la casa. Unos días después, los niños de la zona comienzan a desaparecer nuevamente. Ambrose encuentra evidencia de su desaparición en la sala del altar. Finalmente, los lugareños asaltan la casa y la incendian. Ambrose se esconde con Septimus en los túneles, dejando un manuscrito que relata esta historia. Los pobladores de Dunwich reconstruyen el arco medio derrumbado y lo reinscriben con símbolos de protección. El relato en sí mismo es pobre, y el estilo de August Derleth no colabora demasiado para una lectura fluida; sin embargo, aporta algunos elementos interesantes a los Mitos de Cthulhu. En este contexto —y solo en este— El horror del arco medio es un cuento valioso tanto por lo que sugiere como por lo que dice claramente. Sin embargo, en términos generales es una historia vaga, sin mucha inspiración y, por momentos, sin demasiado sentido, pero rica en detalles secundarios; lo cual resulta perfectamente lógico si tomamos en cuenta que el narrador no tiene ninguna experiencia en asuntos de magia negra. Está experimentando una curva de aprendizaje muy pronunciada de la que será muy afortunado de sobrevivir [quizás no lo hizo] A simple vista, El horror del arco medio es una versión casi idéntica de La sombra en el ático (The Shadow in the Attic). No es la primera vez, ni la última, que August Derleth relata la historia de alguien que hereda una vieja casa maldita; tal es así que uno sospecha la existencia de una próspera industria de abogados manejando estas sucesiones en el área de Arkham. El horror del arco medio solo tendrá algo de interés para los buscadores de tesoros en los Mitos de Cthulhu, es decir, gente que disfruta de los detalles suculentos sin esperar gran cosa de la historia en general. Aquí, August Derleth parece haber pasado de ser poco imaginativo a ser completamente holgazán. Gran parte del cuento es una repetición deslucida no solo de la obra de Lovecraft, sino de la del propio Derleth, tal es así que su lectura [esforzada, por cierto] produce una mezcla de deja vu y hastío. Uno casi puede imaginar el esquema general antes de que el cuento fuera escrito: casa antigua, ancestro malvado, túneles misteriosos, aproximadamente cerca de Dunwich, Tobias Whateley... todo se ha hecho antes, y mejor. Al menos, Ambrose Bishop no es más estúpido que la mayoría de los protagonistas de August Derleth (ver: August Derleth: el creador de los Mitos de Cthulhu) Dicho esto, El horror del arco medio posee algunas de esos pequeños tesoros casuales, la mayoría de los cuales tienen que ver con la forma en la que August Derleth amplía y describe la geografía de Dunwich y el área circundante, donde los crímenes más espantosos ocurren con con regularidad. ******************************* La vida que no he vivido Mi lucha contra la esclerosis múltiple de José Luis Gutiérrez Muñoz A cualquiera se le puede transformar la vida en un único segundo, o en un diagnóstico. Eso le sucedió al autor el 17 de junio de 1998, cuando le asaltó la esclerosis múltiple. La vida que no he vivido es una impresionante reflexión sobre la capacidad de sobreponerse a las circunstancias más difíciles. Gutiérrez Muñoz, junto con Aurora, su mujer, no ha podido desarrollar el plan vital previsto. Sin embargo, no solo fue capaz de superar el golpe psicológico que supone saberse portador de una enfermedad incurable, sino que ha impulsado numerosos proyectos solidarios en India, Nepal y Ecuador. Una vida compuesta de varias vidas. Varias vidas impulsadas por el deseo de vivir.

My guest for this episode is author and podcaster Thersa Matsuura, who joined me to talk about her new publication, The Book of Japanese Folklore: An Encyclopedia of the Spirits, Monsters, and Yokai of Japanese Myth. After a childhood living all over the U.S. - as far north as Fairbanks, Alaska and as far south as Jacksonville, Florida, Thersa moved to Japan to study. She would eventually settle there and has now lived over half her life in a fishing town in the country. Her fluency in Japanese allows her to do research into parts of the culture - legends, folktales, and superstitions - that are little known to western audiences. A lot of what she digs up informs her writing or becomes fodder for her podcast, Uncanny Japan. Thersa is the author of two short story collections, A Robe of Feathers and Other Stories and The Carp-Faced Boy and Other Tales, the latter being a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award in 2017. She's had stories published in various magazines, anthologies and serialized in the Asahi English Newspaper. I begin the interview by talking with Thersa about the events that initially took her to Japan and what those early experiences of living in a new country were like. We also discuss the cultural history of the country and how that has influenced and is expressed in the relationship between it's people, the natural world and the supernatural. From there we focus on Thersa's new book itself, exploring some of the beings that are featured in it, which range from mythical versions of historical figures, through to supernatural foxes and wolves, giant spiders and full on Lovecraftian horrors. We round off things talking about ghosts and Thersa shares some of her own uncanny experiences. You can find out more about Thersa, her writing and podcast at her website https://thersamatsuura.com/.

A través de los páramos (Across the Moors) es un relato de fantasmas del escritor inglés William F. Harvey (1885-1937), publicado originalmente en la antología de 1910: La Casa de Medianoche y otros cuentos (Midnight House and Other Tales). A través de los páramos, uno de los mejores cuentos de William F. Harvey, relata la historia de una institutriz que debe caminar a través de los páramos, de noche, para buscar un médico para su alumna. En el camino se encuentra con un clérigo que le cuenta una extraña historia, la cual, lejos de atenuar su miedo, lo excita (ver: ¡No salgas del camino! El Modelo «Caperucita Roja» en el Horror) SPOILERS. Aquí, la señora Workington Bancroft envía a señorita Craig a buscar un médico a la granja vecina, situada a unas cuatro millas, debido a la enfermedad de su hija: la pequeña Peggy, cuya fiebre elevada y un dolor punzante en el costado parecen ser síntomas de apendicitis. Para llegar debe atravesar los páramos, un territorio inhóspito, accidentado, y, según las leyendas locales, el lugar predilecto de los fantasmas de la zona (ver: El Pantano Arquetípico en el Horror). Cuando por fin llega a su destino, la señorita Craig descubre que el médico se ha ido a Liverpool. Se ve obligada a hacer el viaje de regreso, sola, hasta que un clérigo se encuentra con ella en el camino. El hombre se ofrece a acompañarla y le cuenta una inquietante historia sobre su último viaje por los páramos. A través de los páramos es un relato ambiental, a pesar de que no hay grandes descripciones y sí mucho parlamento. Con muy poco William F. Harvey nos introduce en la inquietante atmósfera de los páramos, y de algún modo esta permanece a lo largo de todo el relato sin necesidad de reavivarla. La historia combina dos motivos muy comunes en el relato de fantamas: el miedo a la oscuridad y a la soledad (ver: El ABC de las historias de fantasmas). Al principio, la señorita Craig parece bastante resuelta. No tiene miedo, sino más bien disgusto por tener que emprender una larga caminata de noche. Sin embargo, a medida que se introduce en los páramos, la atmósfera sombría del lugar se va apoderando de ella hasta despertar sus miedos primordiales. Eventualmente nos enteramos que este misterioso clérigo que aparece en medio de la noche es, en realidad, un espíritu. En efecto, le cuenta a la señorita Craig su historia en los páramos la noche en la que fue asesinado. Esto ya es lo suficientemente inquietante, pero ese crimen posee algunos elementos secundarios más extraños todavía. Por ejemplo, sabemos que el clérigo fue asesinado por un maleante que merodeaba por los páramos, o al menos eso es lo que él afirma. Su narración insinúa otra cosa: el asesino lo ataca con una estaca de fresno, básicamente el arma típica para matar a un vampiro. ¿Acaso el clérigo era un vampiro que fue atacado por una especie de rústico cazador de monstruos, y no por un maleante? De ser así, A través de los páramos seguramente es el primer relato [y el único que yo recuerde] sobre el fantasma de un vampiro. William F. Harvey es uno de esos autores de transición entre el relato victoriano de fantasmas y el cuento de terror de comienzos del siglo XX, con algunos elementos de la vieja tradición pero despojados de buena parte de sus lugares comunes. En sus relatos, principalmente en A través de los páramos y Calor de agosto (August Heat) [este último sobre un hombre que ve su propia lápida y termina al borde de la locura esperando su muerte] se nota claramente la influencia de M.R. James, no tanto en la conformación de los espectros que pueblan esas historias, sino en términos psicológicos (ver: El relato de fantasmas de M.R. James). Lo sobrenatural rara vez entra abiertamente en los relatos de William F. Harvey, pero se agita en sus fronteras, carcomiendo la realidad de los protagonistas a través de pequeñas coincidencias que prefiguran un destino más bien ingrato.

This week on Sinica, Pulitzer Prize-winning veteran journalist Ian Johnson, now a senior China fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Kaiser to discuss his new book, Sparks" China's Underground HIstorians and their Battle for the Future. Profiling both prominent and lesser-known individuals working to expose dark truths about some of the grimmest periods of the PRC's history, including the Great Leap Forward famine and the violence of the Cultural Revolution, Johnson argues that the efforts of China's "counter-historians" have managed to survive the stepped-up efforts of Xi Jinping to control the historical narrative completely.03:27 – Is the obsessive control of historical narratives a particularly Chinese phenomenon?07:19 – The life of Ai Xiaoming and the creation of a collective memory as one of the main themes in the book21:46 – The story of Jiang Xue, citizen journalist25:22 – Journalistic stubbornness of Tan Hecheng28:39 – Cheng Hongguo and the Zhiwuzhi salon30:26 – Common traits shared by many Chinese regime critics37:17 – Is there a link between dissent in China and Christianity?39:53 – Historical nihilism and sensitive topics for the Chinese Communist Party47:08 – Are counter-historians especially noteworthy because they're exceptional, or representative?57:36 – The most important insight the book adds to our understanding of regime critics in ChinaA complete transcript of this podcast is available at TheChinaProject.com.Recommendations:Ian: The Quiet Before: On the Unexpected Origins of Radical Ideas by Gal BeckermanUnofficial Chinese Archives Kaiser: Death in Venice and Other Tales by Thomas Mann, translated by Joachim NeugroschelSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
