For an Indian university, a spot on the QS Rankings list could change everything. It would mean they belonged to the same elite club as the Cambridges and Oxfords of the world. But to nab that spot, universities are stopping at nothing — from admitting more foreign students, to paying top dollar to hire consultants and purchasing seats at conferences. But in the process some fear these universities are neglecting their bread and butter — academics. How did we get here? What's behind this growing obsession with climbing up the global ranking ladder? Tune in. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris put on their best pair of Oxfords and a freshly tailored bespoke suit to talk about 2015's Kingsman: The Secret Service in honor of the latest Matthew Vaughn spy flick, Argylle, hitting theaters.Based on the Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons comic (which director Matthew Vaughn also worked on), Kingsman: The Secret Service stars Taron Egerton as Gary "Eggsy" Unwin, a bit of a chav wasting his life in London until he's recruited by Harry Hart (Colin Firth) to join the training program for Kingsman, an independent espionage agency working behind the scenes to keep the world safe. While Eggsy trains for a shot at becoming a Kingsman, Harry investigates Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson), who is putting a plan in motion that, in his mind, will save the world but cause millions of deaths in the process.The guys talk about the differences between the comic and the movie, the unlikely badassery of Colin Firth, the hardcore Kingsman training, the still incredible Freebird fight scene, and more.Next week we are talking about The Warriors to celebrate its 45th anniversary, so come out and play.We want to hear your comments and feedback.

Named after the beautiful Neem tree in India, famed for producing leaves with healing properties, Neem London is designed as an antidote to the modern ways of consumption – an antiseptic for fast fashion. The brand produces low emitting menswear, designed to achieve a cleaner way of living. Founded by Nick Reed, a menswear specialist with over 20 years' experience, Neem London has a very distinct handwriting; always smart, but with understated quiet luxury underpinning each piece. Soft, comfortable and exceptionally easy-on-the-eye, its warm colour palette has almost restorative qualities; wear this to the office and you're in for a good day, wear it off-duty and the results will be equally as favourable. Healing by name, healing by nature. Nick refers to it as Power Casual, something which is easily seen in the collections, built predominantly around shirting, it also includes, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets and long sleeve polos. The shirts come in an array of styles; Oxfords, pop-over shirts and short sleeves. Following the success of the Piccadilly Arcade store in St James's, which began as a pop-up but which is now permanent, the low emitting menswear brand is taking its successful Neem+ Ecological Emporium to a space in Spitalfields from 20th September. As with the existing store, the new one at 10 Market Square on the edge of the historic Spitalfields Market, will provide a space for other ecological brands. It will also house installations of circular furniture, and everything in the store is being upcycled – there will be nothing wasted or thrown away.  The Neem+ Ecological Emporium will be housed in the 1,500 square ft space for at least four months, with the view of going permanent.

Genom evolutionen har vi människor ätit kött. Vi är allätare, och kött är näringsrik mat. Men betyder det att vi alltid kommer att fortsätta att äta kött? Den globala köttproduktionen spelar idag en påtaglig roll i klimatfrågor, miljöfrågor och djuretiska frågor – bland annat. I avsnittet presenteras projektet Meat: the four futures, ett samarbete mellan SLU, Oxfords universitet och Wageningens universitet. Fyra tänkbara framtidsscenarier för kött utforskas; ett där världen fortsätter att äta kött ungefär som idag och från storskalig produktion. Ett andra scenario där vi producerar och konsumerar mindre kött än nu; ett tredje scenario med alternativt protein från odlat kött från djurceller eller "kött" från svamp- eller växtriket, och ett fjärde scenario där vi går över till en helt vegetarisk eller vegansk livsstil. Medverkar gör bland annat forskare och entreprenörer från flera olika länder runtom i världen.

Händerna, och inte minst tummarna, har tjänat människan väl. Men den vår främsta väg in i världen på väg att förlora sin betydelse? Och vad händer då? Journalisten Anna Thulin reflekterar över saken. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad 2020-06-03. Essän är inläst av Sofia Strandberg. I en glasmonter på Paris naturhistoriska museum står hon, ett skelett under en oansenlig skylt med ordet primater. Hon har något rätare ryggrad än sina närmaste släktingar som hukar bredvid, men annars tycks ganska få saker skilja henne från de andra. Förutom tiden så klart, miljontals år har utvecklat våra arter i olika riktning; en av oss fick en längre och rörligare tumme. Med tiden fick det stora konsekvenser.Jag fingrar på glaset trots att man inte får, kan inte motstå instinkten att sträcka ut handen och röra. Den känslan drabbar mig ofta. Att pilla och peta på okända ytor, dyra målningar och klibbiga, kvarglömda rester i kylen. Barnsligt, jag vet, men finns det inte något djupare i denna drift? Som barnet rör vid allt när hon upptäcker världen, för att tillägna sig existensen med känselminnet.På en annan plats i museet finns en skylt som informerar om tummen. Den är något alldeles exceptionellt och gemensam för de flesta primater. Det finns fem olika typer av leder i människokroppens skelett, och hos oss finns den två-axlade leden bara i tummen. Den gör att tummen går att vicka både fram och tillbaka och i sidled. En nätt liten rörelse som skapat djupgående vibrationer i mänsklighetens historia. Arkitektur, konst, nya uppfinningar Allt vi har skapat och tagit oss för, har vi åstadkommit tack vare våra händer.I avsaknad av något annat bevis skulle tummen ensam övertyga mig om Guds existens, ska Isaac Newton ha sagt, han som formulerade teorier om mycket större rörelser och universell gravitation. En tumme kan ha många innebörder, men i sociala medier ser vi den oftast som en stiliserad symbol. Tummen upp, gilla! Tummen ned, kommentarer överflödiga. Kanske är det snart våra egna händer, i hud och kött och blod, som blir överflödiga. Fler arbeten tas över av maskiner och blir automatiserade, vi tillägnar vi oss världen med ett enkelt tryck på skärmen. eller med rösten: Alexa, Siri, Google, vad blir det för väder idag?Vad händer med handen när dess roll förminskas och ersätts av ny teknik? Det frågar sig Göran Lundborg, handkirurg och forskare, i boken Handen i den digitala världen. Han konstaterar att vår hjärna innehåller fler än hundra miljarder nervceller ungefär hälften så många som de stjärnor som ryms i vår egen galax Vintergatan och att en stor del av dessa nervceller står i direkt kontakt med känslosinnet, inte minst våra händer. Lundborg ser hur handen marginaliseras i skolan, i vården och inom kreativt skapande yrken. Vi har på kort tid fått tillgång till digitala hjälpmedel och ny teknik, men det finns ännu ganska lite forskning om hur det påverkar oss på sikt. Vad innebär det för minnet och lärandet att små barn lär sig läsa och skriva via skärmar? Att patienter undersöks på distans, utan den fysiska kontakten? Finns det en risk att delar av vårt kulturarv går förlorat när handskrift och traditionellt hantverk blir en kunskap för de få? Alla dessa spörsmål är berättigade, men den fråga som verkligen fångar mig handlar om hur själva beröringen förändras i en digital tid.Charles Spence, professor i experimentell psykologi vid Oxfords universitet, talar om att vi lever i en tid av beröringshunger. Vi är förvisso överstimulerade, men det gäller ögon, oljud, information. Allt är visuellt och auditivt, de rationella sinnena överstimulerar oss men de känslomässiga sinnena, känsel, doft och smak försummas. Våra sinnen samspelar och när ett eller flera av dem förstärks, är det ofta på bekostnad av de andra. Det behöver inte vara av ondo. Blinda musiker kan utveckla ett makalöst ljudgehör. Läsare av punktskrift får en förfinad känsel. För den som har begränsad rörelseförmåga, till exempel i sina händer, är hjälpmedel såklart fantastiska. Men hur blir det för framtidens människor? Kommer vi att bli bättre på att avläsa bilder och tolka ljud när hörsel och syn premieras framför känsel? Eller kommer skaparna bakom den nya tekniken försöka omfamna fler sinnen i sina produkter?Jag tror kanske mer på det senare. Redan nu utvecklas skärmar med olika textur för att skapa en mer behaglig läs- och känselupplevelse. Göran Lundborg nämner robotsälar som ska lugna äldre och försöken att utveckla maskiner som visar känslor. Men man behöver inte vara en teknikfientlig bakåtsträvare för att tycka att det senare är ett fattigt substitut för mänsklig beröring. Även om vi försöker byta ut handens förmåga att uppfatta världen med artificiell känsel och elektriska impulser, så går det inte att jämföra med känslan av hud mot hud. Tänk en värld utan fingertopparnas fina känselspröt. En rörelse över en älskades arm som får huden att knottra sig. Den lätta elektriska stöten som sätter själva själen i gungning.Jag tänker på Sara Stridbergs roman Kärlekens Antarktis, där huvudpersonen, en mördad kvinna, ständigt återkommer till två brytpunkter i sitt liv. Dels dödsögonblicket, där mördarens händer om halsen får en obehaglig och nästan intim känsla. Och dels när hon föder sina barn. Att få hålla själva livet i sina händer. Hud mot hud, möta den nyföddas suddiga blick.Men vad är det egentligen som händer i kroppen när vi rör vid varandra? I artikeln The Social Power of Touch, skriver vetenskapsjournalisten Lydia Denworth om de nervtrådar som leder till vissa hårbeklädda hudpartier på kroppen, som handrygg, rygg och underarmar. Dessa specialiserade trådar kallas CT-nerver och går direkt till hjärnan och utsöndrar hormon som påverkar våra känslor och vårt välbefinnande. Alltså är beröringen en mycket direkt källa till närhet, intimitet och meningsskapande.Vårt virtuella sökande efter närhet tycks inte skapa samma goda känslor. Ungefär en fjärdedel av alla svenskar uppger att deras tid på sociala medier känns meningsfull, ändå är mobilen nästan en förlängning av oss själva, en hand i handen, som orsakar fantomsmärtor om man glömmer den i andra rummet.Exakt hur de kommer att förändras vår kultur och kulturvärld, vårt minne och lärande är som sagt ännu oklart. Men att de förändras vet vi, och vi vet också detta: Att värna om vårt taktila sinne handlar om att värna något som går djupare än det exklusivt mänskliga: förmågan att beröra och bli berörd.Jag sträcker ut handen mot museets monterglas nej, inte röra. Där är benen, som jag tänker mig som både svala och sträva, hårda och mjuka. Och ovanför dem händerna, som skapar, smeker, skadar och håller när de rör sig genom tiden.Anna Thulin, journalist och författare Inläst av kulturredaktionens Sofia Strandberg Omnämnt i essän:Handen i den digitala världen av Göran Lundborg, Carlsson Bokförlag, 2019.The Social Power of Touch av Lydia Denworth, Scientific American Mind, 2015.Kärlekens Antarktis av Sara Stridsberg, Albert Bonniers Förlag, 2018.Svenskarna och Internet, Internetstiftelsen i Sverige, 2019.

There are five primary factors driving an increasing number of students from marginalised communities entering the Western institutions.

Nyheter på medelsvår engelska. Priser på olika livsmedel stiger på grund av kriget i Ukraina. Ukraina är en av världens största producenter av vete och solroskärnor. I London håller Extinction Rebellion protester och kräver att regeringar och företag ska ta klimatförändringar på allvar och börja agera. En ny studie från Oxfords universitet har rankat världens bästa och värsta lukter.

Bit of a last minute change of circumstances, so this morning our Rich Speight was joined by notorious Oxford fan - Wor Gavin - to preview SAFC's visit to the Kassam tomorrow! What's the crack?How are the lads feeling ahead of the match? Has Oxford's loss to Morecambe on Tuesday night gone some way to alleviating any anxiety over the fixture, or has it made it somehow worse? We chat about the player of the year awards - Was Ross Stewart a worthy winner for the Lads? George Forster is always a worthy winner of course... How do we think Alex Neil will set up tomorrow? Is he likely to be a little more cautious? The lads take a look at Oxfords recent form (honest) and just how badly they need the 3 points - It's do or die for Karl Robinson here isn't it? Besides maximum points, what do the lads want from this fixture? Will this - like every match at this stage - define our season? All this and more!

Brush up on your manners and lace up your Oxfords, cuz this week, we're reviewing the third installment in Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman series.

I veckans avsnitt av ”Så in i Själen” gästas jag av några av er mina kära lyssnare. Alla ni som har hört av er med meddelanden och röstmemos där ni berättar om vad kärlek är för er. Hjärtat som både sänder ut och drar till sig. Hjärtat som besitter sin egen intelligens. (Sid 49 i boken Av egen kraft) Vetenskapen börjar nu omdefiniera relationen mellan hjärtat och hjärnan, känslan och förnuftet. Relativt nyligen har man upptäckt att det finns omkring tiotusen mycket specialiserade neuroner i hjärtat. Neuroner är de celler som våra hjärnor är uppbyggda av, de som gör att vi kan tänka. Sådana celler finns alltså också i våra hjärtan. Neuronerna i hjärtat lever sida vid sida med hjärtats muskelceller, främst kring höger förmak där de utgör en enhet. Professor David Paterson, forskare vid Oxfords universitet, och hans kollegor kallar dem för hjärtats lilla hjärna. Man vet inte så mycket om dessa neuroner än, men en sak är säker – det finns ett samarbete mellan hjärnan och hjärtat. Och det är neuronerna i hjärtat som styr vad hjärtat gör, inte hjärnan. Paterson och hans team jobbar på att ta reda på mer om hur det här nätverket i hjärtat fungerar. Jag tycker det är oerhört fascinerande, och med tanke på att jag hittar hjärtsymboler överallt så känns det extra spännande med den här typen av forskning. Forskaren och författaren Gregg Braden talar om de elektromagnetiska fält som finns runt oss och inom oss, och att hjärtat har ett elektromagnetiskt fält som är cirka femtusen gången starkare än det i hjärnan.

Snart berättar talibanerna hur regeringsmakten i Afghanistan kommer se ut. Vem styr talibanerna idag och hur fördelas rollerna? I vår serie om intellektuella svenskar gästar idag Elsa Kugelberg (ca 23 minuter in i avsnittet). Hur ser egentligen talibanernas ledningsstruktur ut? Vi har bjudit in Helene Lackenbauer, Afghanistanexpert på Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut, FOI. Hon har varit stationerad i Kabul för Folke Bernadotteakademiens räkning. Vår serie "Därför är jag intellektuell" fortsätter. Idag gästas vi av Elsa Kugelberg, hon är skribent på Dagens Nyheters kulturredaktion och doktorerar just nu vid Oxfords universitet. Hon är mitt i arbetet med en doktorsavhandling inom politisk teori och moralfilosofi. Definierar hon sig som intellektuell? Hur ser synen på intellektuella ut i England jämfört med i Sverige? Dessutom pratar vi om Eric Claptons antivaccin-låt, kändisarna som vill kandidera för Liberalerna och huruvida vi redan nu kan ana en Magdalena Andersson-effekt för Socialdemokraterna.

I was reluctant to let youngest watch this film due to a, in my opinion, inappropriate and pointless scene involving a transmitter and a young ladies fairy glen.  I cringed at it, it's tasteless, but fortunately Eldest felt the same way, so they fast forwarded past it.Once that was dealt with I had no problem with the cannibalism, drug use, swearing, use of a meat grinder to kill people or the electrified lasso used to cut people in half.In this episode we talk about how the nasal passage could have been used instead of pixy hollow, Poppy as a villain, the return of Harry, and the best cuts of meat on a human.  You know, regular stuff.EnjoySupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kwawwpodcast)

Well, it isn't theft, Stellan Nieves tells himself, not when you're stealing from a crook. Stellan, a married mid-twenties Chicago accountant, dreams of a new life free from a spiteful wife and two unruly young daughters. His salvation comes by way of mobster Dusan “Squeezebox” Kovačević. Stellan stumbles onto a cache of $2.1 million hidden beneath loose floorboards at Squeezebox's warehouse. He at first resists the temptation, but it proves too tempting. He plots out his theft, and, under the cover of darkness, bolts with the money in his trunk. Ditching his sensible Brooks Brothers suits and wingtip Oxfords, Stellan resurfaces in a small college town in Vermont. Certain no one would ever look for him there, he reinvents himself as Pete Harris, with a beard, wire frame eyeglasses, jeans, plaid shirts, hiking boots, and a pickup truck. A vengeful Squeezebox becomes apoplectic at the theft. He hunts manically for Stellan but Federal indictments put an end to his search. Charged under the RICO Act, he receives a 60-year sentence. His forever home will be a 6'x 8'cell in a small federal prison. The only way Squeezebox will ever leave prison is in a pine box. Time passes, and serendipity plays her hand. While taking courses at the local college, a bulletin board notice seeking volunteers to teach English and math classes at the nearby prison catches Pete's attention. He mulls it over. Why not? He can spare the few hours. The tension is palpable as the two men unexpectedly face each other across a small table in the prison waiting room. Will this chance meeting lead to their complete undoing, transformational redemption, or none of the above? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Jeg har talt med Daniel Holm Nielsen (dansker bosat i Sverige) og Cecilia Marie Brobeck (svensker bosat i Danmark) om hvordan corona påvirker svenskerne og det svenske samfund.  Nedenfor er de nævnte facts og kildeangivelsen  Om døde og smittede:  I foråret peakede antallet af døde d. 8. april i Danmark og d. 16. april i Sverige - altså 8 dage senere. I efteråret peakede antallet af døde d. 21. januar i Danmark og d. 31. december i Sverige. Altså 21 dage tidligere.   Da Danmarks dødstal peakede, døde der ca. 16 personer om dagen i Danmark. I Sverige døde der på samme tidspunkt 85 om dagen - tæt på peak, som var ca. 99 om dagen. Og i alt det her ser jeg på 7-dages gennemsnit.   Samlet set er der over 3 gang flere døde med COVID-19 i Sverige end i Danmark.   Kilder: https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&minPopulationFilter=1000000&time=earliest..latest&country=DNK~SWE®ion=World&deathsMetric=true&interval=smoothed&hideControls=true&perCapita=true&smoothing=7&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc (https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&minPopulationFilter=1000000&time=earliest..latest&country=DNK~SWE®ion=World&deathsMetric=true&interval=smoothed&hideControls=true&perCapita=true&smoothing=7&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc)  Om nedlukningen:  Ser man på Oxfords stringency index - som angiveligt måler hvor hårdt regeringerne i landende griber ind – så scorer Danmark pt. 70 ud af 100 point, mens Sverige scorer 69 ud af 100. Altså stort set det samme.  Kilde: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-stringency-index?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&time=2020-01-22..latest&country=DNK~SWE®ion=World (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-stringency-index?tab=chart&stackMode=absolute&time=2020-01-22..latest&country=DNK~SWE®ion=World)  Om overdødelighed  I Sverige har de haft en betydelig overdødelighed i 2020. Ikke siden den spanske syge, er der døde så mange flere mennesker, end man kunne forvente. Den største overdødelighed i 100 år - det lyder som en national tragedie. Men sammenligner man med andre år i min levetid, så er overdødeligheden ikke helt ude af proportioner. I et blogindlæg på punditokraterne.dk viser jeg, hvordan overdødeligheden I 2020 var på 64 døde pr. 100.000. Men I 1988 var den på 42.

A song that has been recorded by REM, that featured in a Disney musical, and which can be traced back from a white doo-wop group through a group of Communist folk singers to a man who was exploited by racist South African society — a man who invented an entire genre of music, which got named after his most famous song, but who never saw any of the millions that his song earned for others, and died in poverty. We’re going to look at the story of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”:   [Excerpt: The Tokens, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”]   The story of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” is a story that goes back to 1939, when a singer called Solomon Linda was performing in South Africa. Linda was a Zulu, and thus in the racist regime of South Africa was largely without rights. Linda was, in the thirties and forties, probably the single most important performer in South Africa. He was the leader of a vocal group called the Evening Birds, who were the most popular isicathamiya group in South Africa.   Isicathamiya — and I hope I’m pronouncing that right — was a form of music which has a lot of parallels to some of the American vocal group music we’ve looked at, largely because it comes from some of the same roots. I don’t pretend to be an expert on the music by any means — I’ll put a link on the podcast webpage to a book which has far more information about this — but as best I understand it, it’s a music created when rural black people were forcibly displaced in the late nineteenth century and forced to find work in the city.   Those people combined elements of traditional Zulu music with two more Western elements. The first was the religious music that they heard from Church missions, and the second was American minstrel songs, heard from troupes of minstrels that toured the country, especially a black performer named Orpheus McAdoo, who led a troupe of minstrel and gospel performers who toured South Africa a lot in the late nineteenth century.   This new style of music was usually performed a capella, though sometimes there might be a single instrument added, and it gained a relatively formalised structure — it would almost always have very specific parts based on European choral music, with parts for a tenor, a soprano, an alto, and a bass, in strict four-part harmony — though the soprano and alto parts would be sung in falsetto by men. It would usually be based around the same I, IV, and V chords that most Western popular music was based on, and the Zulu language would often be distorted to fit Western metres, though the music was still more freeform than most of the Western music of the time.   This music started to be recorded in around 1930, and you can get an idea of the stylistic range from two examples. Here’s “Umteto we Land Act” by Caluza’s Double Quartet:   [Excerpt, “Umteto We Land Act”, Caluza’s Double Quartet”]   While here’s the Bantu Glee Singers, singing “Jim Takata Kanjani”:   [Excerpt: The Bantu Glee Singers, “Jim Takata Kanjani”]   Solomon Linda’s group, the Evening Birds, sang in this style, but incorporated a number of innovations. One was that they dressed differently — they wore matching striped suits, rather than the baggy trousers that the older groups wore — but also, they had extra bass singers. Up until this point, there would be four singers or multiples of four, with one singer singing each part. The Evening Birds, at Linda’s instigation, had a much thicker bass part, and in some ways prefigured the sound of doo-wop that would take over in America twenty years later.   Their music was often political — while the South African regime was horribly oppressive in the thirties, it wasn’t as oppressive as it later became, and a certain amount of criticism of the government was allowed in ways it wouldn’t be in future decades.   At the time, the main way in which this music would be performed was at contests with several groups, most of whom would be performing the same repertoire. An audience member would offer to pay one of the groups a few pennies to start singing — and then another audience member, when they got bored with the first group, would offer that group some more money to stop singing, before someone else offered another group some money. The Evening Birds quickly became the centre of this scene, and between 1933 and 1948, when they split, they were the most popular group around. As with many of the doo-wop groups they so resembled, they had a revolving lineup with members coming and going, and joining other groups like the Crocodiles and the Dundee Wandering Singers. There was even a second group called the Evening Birds, with a singer who sounded like Linda, and who had a long-running feud with Linda’s group.   But it wasn’t this popularity that got the Evening Birds recorded. It was because Solomon Linda got a day job packing records for Gallo Records, the only record label in South Africa, which owned the only recording studio in sub-Saharan Africa. While he was working in their factory, packing records, he managed to get the group signed to make some records themselves. In the group’s second session, they recorded a song that Linda had written, called “Mbube”, which means “lion”, and was about hunting the lions that would feed on his family’s cattle when he was growing up:   [Excerpt: Solomon Linda and the Evening Birds, “Mbube”]   There’s some dispute as to whether Linda wrote the whole song, or whether it’s based on a traditional Zulu song — I tend to fall on the side of Linda having written the whole thing, because very often when people say something is based on a traditional song, what they actually mean is “I don’t believe that an uneducated or black person can have written a whole song”.   But whatever the circumstances of most of the composition, one thing is definitely known – Linda was the one who came up with this falsetto melody:   [Excerpt: Solomon Linda and the Evening Birds, “Mbube”]   The song became massively, massively popular — so popular that eventually the master copy of the record disintegrated, as they’d pressed so many copies from it. It gave its name to a whole genre of music — in the same way that late fifties American vocal groups are doo-wop groups, South African groups like Ladysmith Black Mambazo are, more than eighty years later, still known as “mbube groups”.   Linda and the Evening Birds would make many more records, like “Anodu Gonda”:   [Excerpt: Solomon Linda and the Evening Birds, “Anodu Gonda”]   But it was “Mbube” that was their biggest hit. It sold a hundred thousand copies on Gallo Records — and earned Solomon Linda, its writer and lead singer, ten shillings. The South African government at the time estimated that a black family could survive on thirty-seven shillings and sixpence a week. So for writing the most famous melody ever to come out of Africa, Linda got a quarter of a week’s poverty-level wages. When Linda died in 1962, he had a hundred rand — equivalent then to fifty British pounds — in his bank account. He was buried in an unmarked grave.   And, a little over a year before his death, his song had become an international number one hit record. To see why, we have to go back to 1952, and a folk group called the Weavers.   Pete Seeger, the most important member of the Weavers, is a figure who is hugely important in the history of the folk music rebirth of the 1960s. Like most of the white folk singers of the period, he had an incredibly privileged background — he had attended Harvard as a classmate of John F Kennedy — but he also had very strong socialist principles. He had been friends with both Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly in the forties, and he dedicated his later career to the same kind of left-wing activism that Guthrie had taken part in.    Indeed, Guthrie and Seeger had both been members of the Almanac Singers, a folk group of the forties who had been explicitly pro-Communist. They’d been pacifists up until the Soviet entry into the Second World War, at which point they had immediately turned round and become the biggest cheerleaders of the war:   [Excerpt: The Almanac Singers, “Round and Round Hitler’s Grave”]   The Almanac Singers had a revolving door membership, including everyone from Burl Ives to Cisco Houston at one point or another, but the core of the group had been Seeger and Lee Hays, and those two had eventually formed another group, more or less as a continuation of the Almanac Singers, but with a less explicitly political agenda — they would perform Guthrie and Lead Belly songs, and songs they wrote themselves, but not be tied to performing music that fit the ideological line of the Communist Party.   The Weavers immediately had far more commercial success than the Almanac Singers ever had, and recorded such hits as their version of Lead Belly’s “Goodnight Irene”, with orchestration by Gordon Jenkins:   [Excerpt: The Weavers, “Goodnight Irene”]   And one of the hits they recorded was a version of “Mbube”, which they titled “Wimoweh”.   Alan Lomax, the folk song collector, had discovered somewhere a big stack of African records, which were about to be thrown out, and he thought to himself that those would be exactly the kind of thing that Pete Seeger might want, and gave them to him. Seeger loved the recording of “Mbube”, but neither man had any clear idea of what the song was or where it came from. Seeger couldn’t make out the lyrics — he thought Linda was singing something like “Wimoweh”, and he created a new arrangement of the song, taking Linda’s melody from the end of the song and singing it repeatedly throughout:   [Excerpt: The Weavers, “Wimoweh”]   At the time, the Weavers were signed as songwriters to Folkways, a company that was set up to promote folk music, but was part of a much bigger conglomerate, The Richmond Organisation. When they were informed that the Weavers were going to record “Wimoweh”, Folkways contacted the South African record company and were informed that “Mbube” was a traditional folk song. So Folkways copyrighted “Mbube”, as “Wimoweh”, in the name Paul Campbell — a collective pseudonym that the Weavers used for their arrangements of traditional songs.   Shortly after this, Gallo realised their mistake and tried to copyright “Mbube” themselves in the USA, under Solomon Linda’s name, only to be told that Folkways already had the copyright. Now, in the 1950s the USA was not yet a signatory to the Berne Convention, the international agreement on copyright laws, and so it made no difference that in South Africa the song had been copyrighted under Linda’s name — in the USA it was owned by Folkways, because they had registered it first.   But Folkways wanted the rights for other countries, too, and so they came to an agreement with Gallo that would be to Gallo’s immense disadvantage. Because they agreed that they would pay Gallo a modest one-off fee, and “let” Gallo have the rights to the song in a few territories in Africa, and in return Folkways would get the copyright everywhere else. Gallo agreed, and so “Mbube” by Solomon Linda and “Wimoweh” by Paul Campbell became separate copyrights — Gallo had, without realising it, given up their legal rights to the song throughout the world.   “Wimoweh” by the Weavers went to number six on the charts, but then Senator McCarthy stepped in. Both Pete Seeger and Lee Hays had been named as past Communist Party members, and were called before the House Unamerican Activities Committee to testify. Hays stood on his fifth amendment rights, refusing to testify against himself, but Seeger took the riskier option of simply refusing on first amendment grounds. He said, quite rightly, that his political activities, voting history, and party membership were nobody’s business except his, and he wasn’t going to testify about them in front of Congress. He spent much of the next decade with the threat of prison hanging over his head.   As a result, the Weavers were blacklisted from radio and TV, as was Seeger as a solo artist. “Wimoweh” dropped off the charts, and the group’s recording catalogue was deleted. The group split up, though they did get back together again a few years later, and managed to have a hit live album of a concert they performed at Carnegie Hall in 1955, which also included “Wimoweh”:   [Excerpt: The Weavers, “Wimoweh (live at Carnegie Hall)”]   Seeger left the group permanently a couple of years after that, when they did a commercial for tobacco — the group were still blacklisted from the radio and TV, and saw it as an opportunity to get some exposure, but Seeger didn’t approve of tobacco or advertising, and quit the group because of it — though because he’d made a commitment to the group, he did appear on the commercial, not wanting to break his word. At his suggestion, he was replaced by Erik Darling, from another folk group, The Tarriers. Darling was an Ayn Rand fan and a libertarian, so presumably didn’t have the same attitudes towards advertising.   As you might have gathered from this, Seeger was a man of strong principles, and so you might be surprised that he would take credit for someone else’s song. As it turned out, he didn’t. When he discovered that Solomon Linda had written the song, that it wasn’t just a traditional song, he insisted that all future money he would have made from it go to Linda, and sent Linda a cheque for a thousand dollars for the money he’d already earned. But Seeger was someone who didn’t care much about money at all — he donated the vast majority of his money to worthy causes, and lived frugally, and he assumed that the people he was working with would behave honourably and keep to agreements, and didn’t bother checking on them. They didn’t, and Linda saw nothing from them.   Over the years after 1952, “Wimoweh” became something of a standard in America, with successful versions like the one by Yma Sumac:   [Excerpt: Yma Sumac, “Wimoweh”]   And in the early sixties it was in the repertoire of almost every folk group, being recorded by groups like the Kingston Trio, who had taken the Weavers’ place as the most popular folk group in the country.   And then the Tokens entered the picture. We’ve mentioned the Tokens before, in the episode on “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” — they were the group, also known as the Linc-Tones, that was led by Carole King’s friend Neil Sedaka, and who’d recorded “While I Dream” with Sedaka on lead vocals:   [Excerpt: Neil Sedaka and the Tokens, “While I Dream”]   After recording that, one member of the group had gone off to college, and been replaced by the falsetto singer Jay Siegel. But then the group had split up, and Sedaka had gone on to a very successful career as a solo performer and a songwriter.  But Siegel and one of the other group members, Hank Medress, had carried on performing together, and had formed a new group, Darrell and the Oxfords, with two other singers. That group had made a couple of records for Roulette Records, one of which, “Picture in Your Wallet”, was a local hit:   [Excerpt: Darrell and the Oxfords, “Picture in Your Wallet”]   But that group had also split up. So the duo invited yet another pair of singers to join them — Mitch Margo, who was around their age, in his late teens, and his twelve-year-old brother Phil. The group reverted to their old name of The Tokens, and recorded a song called “Tonight I Fell In Love”, which they leased to a small label called Warwick Records:   [Excerpt: The Tokens, “Tonight I Fell In Love”]   Warwick Records sat on the track for six months before releasing it. When they did, in 1961, it went to number fifteen on the charts. But by then, the group had signed to RCA Records, and were now working with Hugo and Luigi, the production duo who you might remember from the episode on “Shout”.   The group put out a couple of flop singles on RCA, including a remake of the Moonglows’ “Sincerely”:   [Excerpt: The Tokens, “Sincerely”]   But after those two singles flopped, the group made the record that would define them for the rest of their lives. The Tokens had been performing “Wimoweh” in their stage act, and they played it for Hugo and Luigi, who thought there was something there, but they didn’t think it would be commercial as it was. They decided to get a professional writer in to fix the song up, and called in George David Weiss, a writer with whom they’d worked before. The three of them had previously co-written “Can’t Help Falling In Love” for Elvis Presley, basing it on a traditional melody, which is what they thought they were doing here:   [Excerpt: Elvis Presley, “Can’t Help Falling In Love”]   Weiss took the song home and reworked it. Weiss decided to find out what the original lyrics had been about, and apparently asked the South African consulate, who told him that it was about lions, so he came up with new lyrics — “in the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight”.   Hugo and Luigi came up with an arrangement for Weiss’ new version of the song, and brought in an opera singer named Anita Darian to replicate the part that Yma Sumac had sung on her version. The song was recorded, and released on the B-side of the Tokens’ third flop in a row:   [Excerpt: The Tokens, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”]   As it was believed by everyone involved that the song was a traditional one, the new song was copyrighted in the names of Weiss, Hugo, and Luigi. And as it was released as a B-side of a flop single, nobody cared at first.   But then a DJ flipped the record and started playing the B-side, and suddenly the song was a hit. Indeed, it went to number one. And it didn’t just go to number one, it became a standard, recorded over the years by everyone from Brian Eno to Billy Joel, The New Christy Minstrels to They Might Be Giants.   Obviously, the publishers of “Wimoweh”, who knew that the song wasn’t a traditional piece at all, wanted to get their share of the money. However, the owner of the publishing company was also a good friend of Weiss — and Weiss was someone who had a lot of influence in the industry, and who nobody wanted to upset, and so they came to a very amicable agreement. The three credited songwriters would stay credited as the songwriters and keep all the songwriting money — after all, Pete Seeger didn’t want it, and the publishers were only under a moral obligation to Solomon Linda, not a legal one — but the Richmond Organisation would get the publishing money.   Everyone seemed to be satisfied with the arrangement, and Solomon Linda’s song went on earning a lot of money for a lot of white men he never met.   The Tokens tried to follow up with a version of an actual African folk song, “Bwa Nina”, but that wasn’t a hit, and nor was a version of “La Bamba”. While they continued their career for decades, the only hit they had as performers was in 1973, by which point Hank Medress had left and the other three had changed their name to Cross Country and had a hit with a remake of “In the Midnight Hour”:   [Excerpt: Cross Country, “The Midnight Hour”]   I say that was the only hit they had as performers, because they went into record production themselves. There they were far more successful, and as a group they produced records like the Chiffons’ “He’s So Fine”, making them the first vocal group to produce a hit for another vocal group:   [Excerpt: The Chiffons, “He’s So Fine”]   That song would, of course, generate its own famous authorial dispute case in later years. After Hank Medress left the group, he worked as a producer on his own, producing hits for Tony Orlando and Dawn, and also producing one of the later hit versions of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”, Robert John’s version, which made number three in 1972:   [Excerpt: Robert John, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”]   Today there are two touring versions of the Tokens, one led by Jay Siegel and one by Phil Margo.   But while in 1961 the Richmond Organisation, Hugo and Luigi, and George Weiss all seemed happy with their agreement, things started to go wrong in 1989.   American copyright law has had several changes over the years, and nothing of what I’m saying applies now, but for songs written before 1978 and the first of the Mickey Mouse copyright extensions, the rule used to be that a song would be in copyright for twenty-eight years. The writer could then renew it for a second twenty-eight-year term. (The rule is now that songs published in America remain in copyright until seventy years after the writer’s death).    And it’s specifically the *writer* who could renew it for that second term, not the publishers. George Weiss filed notice that he was going to renew the copyright when the twenty-eight-year term expired, and that he wasn’t going to let the Richmond Organisation publish the song.   As soon as the Richmond Organisation heard about this, they took Weiss to court, saying that he couldn’t take the publishing rights away from them, because the song was based on “Wimoweh”, which they owned. Weiss argued that if the song was based on “Wimoweh”, the copyright should have reflected that for the twenty-eight years that the Richmond Organisation owned it. They’d signed papers agreeing that Weiss and Hugo and Luigi were the writers, and if they’d had a problem with that they should have said so back in 1961.   The courts sided with Weiss, but they did say that the Richmond Organisation might have had a bit of a point about the song’s similarity to “Wimoweh”, so they had to pay a small amount of money to Solomon Linda’s family.   And the American writers getting the song back coincided with two big boosts in the income from the song. First, R.E.M recorded a song called “The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite”, on their album Automatic For the People (a record we will definitely be talking about in 2026, assuming I’m still around and able to do the podcast by then). The album was one of the biggest records of the decade, and on the song, Michael Stipe sang a fragment of Solomon Linda’s melody:   [Excerpt: R.E.M. “The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite”]   The owners of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” took legal action about that, and got themselves credited as co-writers of R.E.M.’s song, and the group also had to record “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”, releasing it as a B-side to the hit single version of “Sidewinder”:   [Excerpt: R.E.M. “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”]   Even better from their point of view, the song was featured in the Disney film The Lion King, which on its release in 1994 became the second highest-grossing film of all time and the most successful animated film ever, and in its Broadway adaptation, which became the most successful Broadway show of all time.   And in 2000, Rian Malan, a South African journalist based in America, who mostly dedicated his work to expunging his ancestral guilt — he’s a relative of Daniel Malan, the South African dictator who instituted the apartheid system, and of Magnus Malan, one of the more monstrous ministers in the regime in its last days of the eighties and early nineties — found out that while Solomon Linda’s family had been getting some money, it amounted at most to a couple of thousand dollars a year, shared between Linda’s daughters. At the same time, Malan estimated that over the years the song had generated something in the region of fifteen million dollars for its American copyright owners.   Malan published an article about this, and just before that, the daughters got a minor windfall — Pete Seeger noticed a six thousand dollar payment, which came to him when a commercial used “Wimoweh”, rather than “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”. He realised that he’d been receiving the royalties for “Wimoweh” all along, even though he’d asked that they be sent to Linda, so he totalled up how much he’d earned from the song over the years, which came to twelve thousand dollars, and he sent a cheque for that amount to Linda’s daughters.   Those daughters were living in such poverty that in 2001, one of the four died of AIDS — a disease which would have been completely treatable if she’d been able to afford the anti-retroviral medication to treat it.   The surviving sisters were told that the copyright in “Mbube” should have reverted to them in the eighties, and that they had a very good case under South African law to get a proper share of the rights to both “Wimoweh” and “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”.   They just needed to find someone in South Africa that they could sue. Abilene Music, the current owners of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”, were based in the USA and had no assets in South Africa. Suing them would be pointless. But they could sue someone else:   [Excerpt: Timon and Pumbaa, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”]   Disney had assets in South Africa. Lots of them. And they’d used Solomon Linda’s song in their film, which under South African law would be copyright infringement. It would even be possible, if the case went really badly for Disney, that Linda’s family could get total ownership of all Disney assets in South Africa.   So in 2006, Disney came to an out of court settlement with Linda’s family, and they appear to have pressured Abilene Music to do the same thing. Under South African law, “Mbube” would go out of copyright by 2012, but it was agreed that Linda’s daughters would receive royalties on “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” until 2017, even after the South African copyright had expired, and they would get a lump sum from Disney. The money they were owed would be paid into a trust.   After 2017, they would still get money from “Wimoweh”, but not from “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”, whose rights would revert fully to its American owners.   Unfortunately, most of the money they got seems to have gone on legal bills. The three surviving sisters each received, in total, about eighty-three thousand dollars over the ten-year course of the agreement after those bills, which is much, much, more than they were getting before, but only a fraction of what the song would have earned them if they’d been paid properly.   In 2017, the year the agreement expired, Disney announced they were making a photorealistic CGI remake of The Lion King. That, too, featured “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”, and that, too, became the most successful animated film of all time. Under American copyright law, “Wimoweh” will remain in copyright until 2047, unless further changes are made to the law. Solomon Linda’s family will continue to receive royalties on that song. “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”, the much more successful song, will remain in copyright until 2057, and the money from that will mostly go to Claire Weiss-Creatore, who was George Weiss’ third wife, and who after he died in 2010 became the third wife of Luigi Creatore, of Hugo and Luigi, who died himself in 2015. Solomon Linda’s daughters won’t see a penny of it.   According to George Weiss’ obituary in the Guardian, he “was a familiar figure at congressional hearings into copyright reform and music piracy, testifying as to the vital importance of intellectual property protection for composers”.

A song that has been recorded by REM, that featured in a Disney musical, and which can be traced back from a white doo-wop group through a group of Communist folk singers to a man who was exploited by racist South African society -- a man who invented an entire genre of music, which got named after his most famous song, but who never saw any of the millions that his song earned for others, and died in poverty. We're going to look at the story of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight":   [Excerpt: The Tokens, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"]   The story of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is a story that goes back to 1939, when a singer called Solomon Linda was performing in South Africa. Linda was a Zulu, and thus in the racist regime of South Africa was largely without rights. Linda was, in the thirties and forties, probably the single most important performer in South Africa. He was the leader of a vocal group called the Evening Birds, who were the most popular isicathamiya group in South Africa.   Isicathamiya -- and I hope I'm pronouncing that right -- was a form of music which has a lot of parallels to some of the American vocal group music we've looked at, largely because it comes from some of the same roots. I don't pretend to be an expert on the music by any means -- I'll put a link on the podcast webpage to a book which has far more information about this -- but as best I understand it, it's a music created when rural black people were forcibly displaced in the late nineteenth century and forced to find work in the city.   Those people combined elements of traditional Zulu music with two more Western elements. The first was the religious music that they heard from Church missions, and the second was American minstrel songs, heard from troupes of minstrels that toured the country, especially a black performer named Orpheus McAdoo, who led a troupe of minstrel and gospel performers who toured South Africa a lot in the late nineteenth century.   This new style of music was usually performed a capella, though sometimes there might be a single instrument added, and it gained a relatively formalised structure -- it would almost always have very specific parts based on European choral music, with parts for a tenor, a soprano, an alto, and a bass, in strict four-part harmony -- though the soprano and alto parts would be sung in falsetto by men. It would usually be based around the same I, IV, and V chords that most Western popular music was based on, and the Zulu language would often be distorted to fit Western metres, though the music was still more freeform than most of the Western music of the time.   This music started to be recorded in around 1930, and you can get an idea of the stylistic range from two examples. Here's "Umteto we Land Act" by Caluza's Double Quartet:   [Excerpt, "Umteto We Land Act", Caluza's Double Quartet"]   While here's the Bantu Glee Singers, singing "Jim Takata Kanjani":   [Excerpt: The Bantu Glee Singers, "Jim Takata Kanjani"]   Solomon Linda's group, the Evening Birds, sang in this style, but incorporated a number of innovations. One was that they dressed differently -- they wore matching striped suits, rather than the baggy trousers that the older groups wore -- but also, they had extra bass singers. Up until this point, there would be four singers or multiples of four, with one singer singing each part. The Evening Birds, at Linda's instigation, had a much thicker bass part, and in some ways prefigured the sound of doo-wop that would take over in America twenty years later.   Their music was often political -- while the South African regime was horribly oppressive in the thirties, it wasn't as oppressive as it later became, and a certain amount of criticism of the government was allowed in ways it wouldn't be in future decades.   At the time, the main way in which this music would be performed was at contests with several groups, most of whom would be performing the same repertoire. An audience member would offer to pay one of the groups a few pennies to start singing -- and then another audience member, when they got bored with the first group, would offer that group some more money to stop singing, before someone else offered another group some money. The Evening Birds quickly became the centre of this scene, and between 1933 and 1948, when they split, they were the most popular group around. As with many of the doo-wop groups they so resembled, they had a revolving lineup with members coming and going, and joining other groups like the Crocodiles and the Dundee Wandering Singers. There was even a second group called the Evening Birds, with a singer who sounded like Linda, and who had a long-running feud with Linda's group.   But it wasn't this popularity that got the Evening Birds recorded. It was because Solomon Linda got a day job packing records for Gallo Records, the only record label in South Africa, which owned the only recording studio in sub-Saharan Africa. While he was working in their factory, packing records, he managed to get the group signed to make some records themselves. In the group's second session, they recorded a song that Linda had written, called "Mbube", which means "lion", and was about hunting the lions that would feed on his family's cattle when he was growing up:   [Excerpt: Solomon Linda and the Evening Birds, "Mbube"]   There's some dispute as to whether Linda wrote the whole song, or whether it's based on a traditional Zulu song -- I tend to fall on the side of Linda having written the whole thing, because very often when people say something is based on a traditional song, what they actually mean is "I don't believe that an uneducated or black person can have written a whole song".   But whatever the circumstances of most of the composition, one thing is definitely known – Linda was the one who came up with this falsetto melody:   [Excerpt: Solomon Linda and the Evening Birds, "Mbube"]   The song became massively, massively popular -- so popular that eventually the master copy of the record disintegrated, as they'd pressed so many copies from it. It gave its name to a whole genre of music -- in the same way that late fifties American vocal groups are doo-wop groups, South African groups like Ladysmith Black Mambazo are, more than eighty years later, still known as "mbube groups".   Linda and the Evening Birds would make many more records, like "Anodu Gonda":   [Excerpt: Solomon Linda and the Evening Birds, "Anodu Gonda"]   But it was "Mbube" that was their biggest hit. It sold a hundred thousand copies on Gallo Records -- and earned Solomon Linda, its writer and lead singer, ten shillings. The South African government at the time estimated that a black family could survive on thirty-seven shillings and sixpence a week. So for writing the most famous melody ever to come out of Africa, Linda got a quarter of a week's poverty-level wages. When Linda died in 1962, he had a hundred rand -- equivalent then to fifty British pounds -- in his bank account. He was buried in an unmarked grave.   And, a little over a year before his death, his song had become an international number one hit record. To see why, we have to go back to 1952, and a folk group called the Weavers.   Pete Seeger, the most important member of the Weavers, is a figure who is hugely important in the history of the folk music rebirth of the 1960s. Like most of the white folk singers of the period, he had an incredibly privileged background -- he had attended Harvard as a classmate of John F Kennedy -- but he also had very strong socialist principles. He had been friends with both Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly in the forties, and he dedicated his later career to the same kind of left-wing activism that Guthrie had taken part in.    Indeed, Guthrie and Seeger had both been members of the Almanac Singers, a folk group of the forties who had been explicitly pro-Communist. They'd been pacifists up until the Soviet entry into the Second World War, at which point they had immediately turned round and become the biggest cheerleaders of the war:   [Excerpt: The Almanac Singers, "Round and Round Hitler's Grave"]   The Almanac Singers had a revolving door membership, including everyone from Burl Ives to Cisco Houston at one point or another, but the core of the group had been Seeger and Lee Hays, and those two had eventually formed another group, more or less as a continuation of the Almanac Singers, but with a less explicitly political agenda -- they would perform Guthrie and Lead Belly songs, and songs they wrote themselves, but not be tied to performing music that fit the ideological line of the Communist Party.   The Weavers immediately had far more commercial success than the Almanac Singers ever had, and recorded such hits as their version of Lead Belly's "Goodnight Irene", with orchestration by Gordon Jenkins:   [Excerpt: The Weavers, "Goodnight Irene"]   And one of the hits they recorded was a version of "Mbube", which they titled "Wimoweh".   Alan Lomax, the folk song collector, had discovered somewhere a big stack of African records, which were about to be thrown out, and he thought to himself that those would be exactly the kind of thing that Pete Seeger might want, and gave them to him. Seeger loved the recording of "Mbube", but neither man had any clear idea of what the song was or where it came from. Seeger couldn't make out the lyrics -- he thought Linda was singing something like "Wimoweh", and he created a new arrangement of the song, taking Linda's melody from the end of the song and singing it repeatedly throughout:   [Excerpt: The Weavers, "Wimoweh"]   At the time, the Weavers were signed as songwriters to Folkways, a company that was set up to promote folk music, but was part of a much bigger conglomerate, The Richmond Organisation. When they were informed that the Weavers were going to record "Wimoweh", Folkways contacted the South African record company and were informed that "Mbube" was a traditional folk song. So Folkways copyrighted "Mbube", as "Wimoweh", in the name Paul Campbell -- a collective pseudonym that the Weavers used for their arrangements of traditional songs.   Shortly after this, Gallo realised their mistake and tried to copyright "Mbube" themselves in the USA, under Solomon Linda's name, only to be told that Folkways already had the copyright. Now, in the 1950s the USA was not yet a signatory to the Berne Convention, the international agreement on copyright laws, and so it made no difference that in South Africa the song had been copyrighted under Linda's name -- in the USA it was owned by Folkways, because they had registered it first.   But Folkways wanted the rights for other countries, too, and so they came to an agreement with Gallo that would be to Gallo's immense disadvantage. Because they agreed that they would pay Gallo a modest one-off fee, and "let" Gallo have the rights to the song in a few territories in Africa, and in return Folkways would get the copyright everywhere else. Gallo agreed, and so "Mbube" by Solomon Linda and "Wimoweh" by Paul Campbell became separate copyrights -- Gallo had, without realising it, given up their legal rights to the song throughout the world.   "Wimoweh" by the Weavers went to number six on the charts, but then Senator McCarthy stepped in. Both Pete Seeger and Lee Hays had been named as past Communist Party members, and were called before the House Unamerican Activities Committee to testify. Hays stood on his fifth amendment rights, refusing to testify against himself, but Seeger took the riskier option of simply refusing on first amendment grounds. He said, quite rightly, that his political activities, voting history, and party membership were nobody's business except his, and he wasn't going to testify about them in front of Congress. He spent much of the next decade with the threat of prison hanging over his head.   As a result, the Weavers were blacklisted from radio and TV, as was Seeger as a solo artist. "Wimoweh" dropped off the charts, and the group's recording catalogue was deleted. The group split up, though they did get back together again a few years later, and managed to have a hit live album of a concert they performed at Carnegie Hall in 1955, which also included "Wimoweh":   [Excerpt: The Weavers, "Wimoweh (live at Carnegie Hall)"]   Seeger left the group permanently a couple of years after that, when they did a commercial for tobacco -- the group were still blacklisted from the radio and TV, and saw it as an opportunity to get some exposure, but Seeger didn't approve of tobacco or advertising, and quit the group because of it -- though because he'd made a commitment to the group, he did appear on the commercial, not wanting to break his word. At his suggestion, he was replaced by Erik Darling, from another folk group, The Tarriers. Darling was an Ayn Rand fan and a libertarian, so presumably didn't have the same attitudes towards advertising.   As you might have gathered from this, Seeger was a man of strong principles, and so you might be surprised that he would take credit for someone else's song. As it turned out, he didn't. When he discovered that Solomon Linda had written the song, that it wasn't just a traditional song, he insisted that all future money he would have made from it go to Linda, and sent Linda a cheque for a thousand dollars for the money he'd already earned. But Seeger was someone who didn't care much about money at all -- he donated the vast majority of his money to worthy causes, and lived frugally, and he assumed that the people he was working with would behave honourably and keep to agreements, and didn't bother checking on them. They didn't, and Linda saw nothing from them.   Over the years after 1952, "Wimoweh" became something of a standard in America, with successful versions like the one by Yma Sumac:   [Excerpt: Yma Sumac, "Wimoweh"]   And in the early sixties it was in the repertoire of almost every folk group, being recorded by groups like the Kingston Trio, who had taken the Weavers' place as the most popular folk group in the country.   And then the Tokens entered the picture. We've mentioned the Tokens before, in the episode on "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" -- they were the group, also known as the Linc-Tones, that was led by Carole King's friend Neil Sedaka, and who'd recorded "While I Dream" with Sedaka on lead vocals:   [Excerpt: Neil Sedaka and the Tokens, "While I Dream"]   After recording that, one member of the group had gone off to college, and been replaced by the falsetto singer Jay Siegel. But then the group had split up, and Sedaka had gone on to a very successful career as a solo performer and a songwriter.  But Siegel and one of the other group members, Hank Medress, had carried on performing together, and had formed a new group, Darrell and the Oxfords, with two other singers. That group had made a couple of records for Roulette Records, one of which, "Picture in Your Wallet", was a local hit:   [Excerpt: Darrell and the Oxfords, "Picture in Your Wallet"]   But that group had also split up. So the duo invited yet another pair of singers to join them -- Mitch Margo, who was around their age, in his late teens, and his twelve-year-old brother Phil. The group reverted to their old name of The Tokens, and recorded a song called "Tonight I Fell In Love", which they leased to a small label called Warwick Records:   [Excerpt: The Tokens, "Tonight I Fell In Love"]   Warwick Records sat on the track for six months before releasing it. When they did, in 1961, it went to number fifteen on the charts. But by then, the group had signed to RCA Records, and were now working with Hugo and Luigi, the production duo who you might remember from the episode on "Shout".   The group put out a couple of flop singles on RCA, including a remake of the Moonglows' "Sincerely":   [Excerpt: The Tokens, "Sincerely"]   But after those two singles flopped, the group made the record that would define them for the rest of their lives. The Tokens had been performing "Wimoweh" in their stage act, and they played it for Hugo and Luigi, who thought there was something there, but they didn't think it would be commercial as it was. They decided to get a professional writer in to fix the song up, and called in George David Weiss, a writer with whom they'd worked before. The three of them had previously co-written "Can't Help Falling In Love" for Elvis Presley, basing it on a traditional melody, which is what they thought they were doing here:   [Excerpt: Elvis Presley, "Can't Help Falling In Love"]   Weiss took the song home and reworked it. Weiss decided to find out what the original lyrics had been about, and apparently asked the South African consulate, who told him that it was about lions, so he came up with new lyrics -- "in the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight".   Hugo and Luigi came up with an arrangement for Weiss' new version of the song, and brought in an opera singer named Anita Darian to replicate the part that Yma Sumac had sung on her version. The song was recorded, and released on the B-side of the Tokens' third flop in a row:   [Excerpt: The Tokens, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"]   As it was believed by everyone involved that the song was a traditional one, the new song was copyrighted in the names of Weiss, Hugo, and Luigi. And as it was released as a B-side of a flop single, nobody cared at first.   But then a DJ flipped the record and started playing the B-side, and suddenly the song was a hit. Indeed, it went to number one. And it didn't just go to number one, it became a standard, recorded over the years by everyone from Brian Eno to Billy Joel, The New Christy Minstrels to They Might Be Giants.   Obviously, the publishers of "Wimoweh", who knew that the song wasn't a traditional piece at all, wanted to get their share of the money. However, the owner of the publishing company was also a good friend of Weiss -- and Weiss was someone who had a lot of influence in the industry, and who nobody wanted to upset, and so they came to a very amicable agreement. The three credited songwriters would stay credited as the songwriters and keep all the songwriting money -- after all, Pete Seeger didn't want it, and the publishers were only under a moral obligation to Solomon Linda, not a legal one -- but the Richmond Organisation would get the publishing money.   Everyone seemed to be satisfied with the arrangement, and Solomon Linda's song went on earning a lot of money for a lot of white men he never met.   The Tokens tried to follow up with a version of an actual African folk song, "Bwa Nina", but that wasn't a hit, and nor was a version of "La Bamba". While they continued their career for decades, the only hit they had as performers was in 1973, by which point Hank Medress had left and the other three had changed their name to Cross Country and had a hit with a remake of "In the Midnight Hour":   [Excerpt: Cross Country, "The Midnight Hour"]   I say that was the only hit they had as performers, because they went into record production themselves. There they were far more successful, and as a group they produced records like the Chiffons' "He's So Fine", making them the first vocal group to produce a hit for another vocal group:   [Excerpt: The Chiffons, "He's So Fine"]   That song would, of course, generate its own famous authorial dispute case in later years. After Hank Medress left the group, he worked as a producer on his own, producing hits for Tony Orlando and Dawn, and also producing one of the later hit versions of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", Robert John's version, which made number three in 1972:   [Excerpt: Robert John, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"]   Today there are two touring versions of the Tokens, one led by Jay Siegel and one by Phil Margo.   But while in 1961 the Richmond Organisation, Hugo and Luigi, and George Weiss all seemed happy with their agreement, things started to go wrong in 1989.   American copyright law has had several changes over the years, and nothing of what I'm saying applies now, but for songs written before 1978 and the first of the Mickey Mouse copyright extensions, the rule used to be that a song would be in copyright for twenty-eight years. The writer could then renew it for a second twenty-eight-year term. (The rule is now that songs published in America remain in copyright until seventy years after the writer's death).    And it's specifically the *writer* who could renew it for that second term, not the publishers. George Weiss filed notice that he was going to renew the copyright when the twenty-eight-year term expired, and that he wasn't going to let the Richmond Organisation publish the song.   As soon as the Richmond Organisation heard about this, they took Weiss to court, saying that he couldn't take the publishing rights away from them, because the song was based on "Wimoweh", which they owned. Weiss argued that if the song was based on "Wimoweh", the copyright should have reflected that for the twenty-eight years that the Richmond Organisation owned it. They'd signed papers agreeing that Weiss and Hugo and Luigi were the writers, and if they'd had a problem with that they should have said so back in 1961.   The courts sided with Weiss, but they did say that the Richmond Organisation might have had a bit of a point about the song's similarity to "Wimoweh", so they had to pay a small amount of money to Solomon Linda's family.   And the American writers getting the song back coincided with two big boosts in the income from the song. First, R.E.M recorded a song called "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite", on their album Automatic For the People (a record we will definitely be talking about in 2026, assuming I'm still around and able to do the podcast by then). The album was one of the biggest records of the decade, and on the song, Michael Stipe sang a fragment of Solomon Linda's melody:   [Excerpt: R.E.M. "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite"]   The owners of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" took legal action about that, and got themselves credited as co-writers of R.E.M.'s song, and the group also had to record "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", releasing it as a B-side to the hit single version of "Sidewinder":   [Excerpt: R.E.M. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"]   Even better from their point of view, the song was featured in the Disney film The Lion King, which on its release in 1994 became the second highest-grossing film of all time and the most successful animated film ever, and in its Broadway adaptation, which became the most successful Broadway show of all time.   And in 2000, Rian Malan, a South African journalist based in America, who mostly dedicated his work to expunging his ancestral guilt -- he's a relative of Daniel Malan, the South African dictator who instituted the apartheid system, and of Magnus Malan, one of the more monstrous ministers in the regime in its last days of the eighties and early nineties -- found out that while Solomon Linda's family had been getting some money, it amounted at most to a couple of thousand dollars a year, shared between Linda's daughters. At the same time, Malan estimated that over the years the song had generated something in the region of fifteen million dollars for its American copyright owners.   Malan published an article about this, and just before that, the daughters got a minor windfall -- Pete Seeger noticed a six thousand dollar payment, which came to him when a commercial used "Wimoweh", rather than "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". He realised that he'd been receiving the royalties for "Wimoweh" all along, even though he'd asked that they be sent to Linda, so he totalled up how much he'd earned from the song over the years, which came to twelve thousand dollars, and he sent a cheque for that amount to Linda's daughters.   Those daughters were living in such poverty that in 2001, one of the four died of AIDS -- a disease which would have been completely treatable if she'd been able to afford the anti-retroviral medication to treat it.   The surviving sisters were told that the copyright in "Mbube" should have reverted to them in the eighties, and that they had a very good case under South African law to get a proper share of the rights to both "Wimoweh" and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".   They just needed to find someone in South Africa that they could sue. Abilene Music, the current owners of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", were based in the USA and had no assets in South Africa. Suing them would be pointless. But they could sue someone else:   [Excerpt: Timon and Pumbaa, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"]   Disney had assets in South Africa. Lots of them. And they'd used Solomon Linda's song in their film, which under South African law would be copyright infringement. It would even be possible, if the case went really badly for Disney, that Linda's family could get total ownership of all Disney assets in South Africa.   So in 2006, Disney came to an out of court settlement with Linda's family, and they appear to have pressured Abilene Music to do the same thing. Under South African law, "Mbube" would go out of copyright by 2012, but it was agreed that Linda's daughters would receive royalties on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" until 2017, even after the South African copyright had expired, and they would get a lump sum from Disney. The money they were owed would be paid into a trust.   After 2017, they would still get money from "Wimoweh", but not from "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", whose rights would revert fully to its American owners.   Unfortunately, most of the money they got seems to have gone on legal bills. The three surviving sisters each received, in total, about eighty-three thousand dollars over the ten-year course of the agreement after those bills, which is much, much, more than they were getting before, but only a fraction of what the song would have earned them if they'd been paid properly.   In 2017, the year the agreement expired, Disney announced they were making a photorealistic CGI remake of The Lion King. That, too, featured "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", and that, too, became the most successful animated film of all time. Under American copyright law, "Wimoweh" will remain in copyright until 2047, unless further changes are made to the law. Solomon Linda's family will continue to receive royalties on that song. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", the much more successful song, will remain in copyright until 2057, and the money from that will mostly go to Claire Weiss-Creatore, who was George Weiss' third wife, and who after he died in 2010 became the third wife of Luigi Creatore, of Hugo and Luigi, who died himself in 2015. Solomon Linda's daughters won't see a penny of it.   According to George Weiss' obituary in the Guardian, he "was a familiar figure at congressional hearings into copyright reform and music piracy, testifying as to the vital importance of intellectual property protection for composers".

Händerna, och inte minst tummarna, har tjänat människan väl. Men den vår främsta väg in i världen på väg att förlora sin betydelse? Och vad händer då? Journalisten Anna Thulni reflekterar över saken. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän är inläst av kulturredaktionens Sofia Strandberg. I en glasmonter på Paris naturhistoriska museum står hon, ett skelett under en oansenlig skylt med ordet primater. Hon har något rätare ryggrad än sina närmaste släktingar som hukar bredvid, men annars tycks ganska få saker skilja henne från de andra. Förutom tiden så klart, miljontals år har utvecklat våra arter i olika riktning; en av oss fick en längre och rörligare tumme. Med tiden fick det stora konsekvenser. Jag fingrar på glaset trots att man inte får, kan inte motstå instinkten att sträcka ut handen och röra. Den känslan drabbar mig ofta. Att pilla och peta på okända ytor, dyra målningar och klibbiga, kvarglömda rester i kylen. Barnsligt, jag vet, men finns det inte något djupare i denna drift? Som barnet rör vid allt när hon upptäcker världen, för att tillägna sig existensen med känselminnet. På en annan plats i museet finns en skylt som informerar om tummen. Den är något alldeles exceptionellt och gemensam för de flesta primater. Det finns fem olika typer av leder i människokroppens skelett, och hos oss finns den två-axlade leden bara i tummen. Den gör att tummen går att vicka både fram och tillbaka och i sidled. En nätt liten rörelse som skapat djupgående vibrationer i mänsklighetens historia. Arkitektur, konst, nya uppfinningar Allt vi har skapat och tagit oss för, har vi åstadkommit tack vare våra händer. I avsaknad av något annat bevis skulle tummen ensam övertyga mig om Guds existens, ska Isaac Newton ha sagt, han som formulerade teorier om mycket större rörelser och universell gravitation. En tumme kan ha många innebörder, men i sociala medier ser vi den oftast som en stiliserad symbol. Tummen upp, gilla! Tummen ned, kommentarer överflödiga. Kanske är det snart våra egna händer, i hud och kött och blod, som blir överflödiga. Fler arbeten tas över av maskiner och blir automatiserade, vi tillägnar vi oss världen med ett enkelt tryck på skärmen. eller med rösten: Alexa, Siri, Google, vad blir det för väder idag? Vad händer med handen när dess roll förminskas och ersätts av ny teknik? Det frågar sig Göran Lundborg, handkirurg och forskare, i boken Handen i den digitala världen. Han konstaterar att vår hjärna innehåller fler än hundra miljarder nervceller ungefär hälften så många som de stjärnor som ryms i vår egen galax Vintergatan och att en stor del av dessa nervceller står i direkt kontakt med känslosinnet, inte minst våra händer. Lundborg ser hur handen marginaliseras i skolan, i vården och inom kreativt skapande yrken. Vi har på kort tid fått tillgång till digitala hjälpmedel och ny teknik, men det finns ännu ganska lite forskning om hur det påverkar oss på sikt. Vad innebär det för minnet och lärandet att små barn lär sig läsa och skriva via skärmar? Att patienter undersöks på distans, utan den fysiska kontakten? Finns det en risk att delar av vårt kulturarv går förlorat när handskrift och traditionellt hantverk blir en kunskap för de få? Alla dessa spörsmål är berättigade, men den fråga som verkligen fångar mig handlar om hur själva beröringen förändras i en digital tid. Charles Spence, professor i experimentell psykologi vid Oxfords universitet, talar om att vi lever i en tid av beröringshunger. Vi är förvisso överstimulerade, men det gäller ögon, oljud, information. Allt är visuellt och auditivt, de rationella sinnena överstimulerar oss men de känslomässiga sinnena, känsel, doft och smak försummas. Våra sinnen samspelar och när ett eller flera av dem förstärks, är det ofta på bekostnad av de andra. Det behöver inte vara av ondo. Blinda musiker kan utveckla ett makalöst ljudgehör. Läsare av punktskrift får en förfinad känsel. För den som har begränsad rörelseförmåga, till exempel i sina händer, är hjälpmedel såklart fantastiska. Men hur blir det för framtidens människor? Kommer vi att bli bättre på att avläsa bilder och tolka ljud när hörsel och syn premieras framför känsel? Eller kommer skaparna bakom den nya tekniken försöka omfamna fler sinnen i sina produkter? Jag tror kanske mer på det senare. Redan nu utvecklas skärmar med olika textur för att skapa en mer behaglig läs- och känselupplevelse. Göran Lundborg nämner robotsälar som ska lugna äldre och försöken att utveckla maskiner som visar känslor. Men man behöver inte vara en teknikfientlig bakåtsträvare för att tycka att det senare är ett fattigt substitut för mänsklig beröring. Även om vi försöker byta ut handens förmåga att uppfatta världen med artificiell känsel och elektriska impulser, så går det inte att jämföra med känslan av hud mot hud. Tänk en värld utan fingertopparnas fina känselspröt. En rörelse över en älskades arm som får huden att knottra sig. Den lätta elektriska stöten som sätter själva själen i gungning. Jag tänker på Sara Stridbergs roman Kärlekens Antarktis, där huvudpersonen, en mördad kvinna, ständigt återkommer till två brytpunkter i sitt liv. Dels dödsögonblicket, där mördarens händer om halsen får en obehaglig och nästan intim känsla. Och dels när hon föder sina barn. Att få hålla själva livet i sina händer. Hud mot hud, möta den nyföddas suddiga blick. Men vad är det egentligen som händer i kroppen när vi rör vid varandra? I artikeln The Social Power of Touch, skriver vetenskapsjournalisten Lydia Denworth om de nervtrådar som leder till vissa hårbeklädda hudpartier på kroppen, som handrygg, rygg och underarmar. Dessa specialiserade trådar kallas CT-nerver och går direkt till hjärnan och utsöndrar hormon som påverkar våra känslor och vårt välbefinnande. Alltså är beröringen en mycket direkt källa till närhet, intimitet och meningsskapande. Vårt virtuella sökande efter närhet tycks inte skapa samma goda känslor. Ungefär en fjärdedel av alla svenskar uppger att deras tid på sociala medier känns meningsfull, ändå är mobilen nästan en förlängning av oss själva, en hand i handen, som orsakar fantomsmärtor om man glömmer den i andra rummet. Exakt hur de kommer att förändras vår kultur och kulturvärld, vårt minne och lärande är som sagt ännu oklart. Men att de förändras vet vi, och vi vet också detta: Att värna om vårt taktila sinne handlar om att värna något som går djupare än det exklusivt mänskliga: förmågan att beröra och bli berörd. Jag sträcker ut handen mot museets monterglas nej, inte röra. Där är benen, som jag tänker mig som både svala och sträva, hårda och mjuka. Och ovanför dem händerna, som skapar, smeker, skadar och håller när de rör sig genom tiden.

Orson Chaplin has some pretty big shoes to fill...and we're not talking about Grandpa Charlie's oversized Oxfords. Chaplin is not only the grandson of film legend Charlie Chaplin, but is also the son of film producer Ilya Salkind (Superman). Don't let the heavy hitters in his family fool you though, this young actor set out on his own to make it as an actor and has become a recognized name on the indie film and horror movie scene. Chaplin currently co-stars in the new Rom-Com Stan the Man, dropping on VOD Tuesday, February 4, 2020 that stars Steven Chase as Stan Mann, a multi-millionaire living the high life of wine, women, song and gambling. That last one gets Stan in trouble with the Russian mafia and things start unraveling for Stan the Man. We spoke with Chaplin about his young career, living up to the legacy of two powerhouses in his family and how he cut his teeth for free working on student films to get a reel together, where an industry that your name only gets you so far and talent needs to take over. Below is a trailer for Stan the Man out on VOD, Tuesday, February 4, 2020 and follow Orson Chaplin on Instagram @orsonchaplinofficial #OrsonChaplin #CharlieChaplin #StanTheMan #HorrorMovies #IndieFilm #RomCom

Cassidy Nelson är forskare vid Future of Humanity Institute, Oxfords universitet. I veckans podd talar hon med Christer om hur man med vetenskapliga och filosofiska metoder kan angripa frågor om globala katastrofer och tekniska framtidsmöjligheter. Vilka storskaliga farsoter står vi inför i framtiden, och hur kan vi förutsäga och förebygga risker förknippade med artificiell intelligens, kärnvapenkrig och pandemier?

We'll be honest and say that this episode made a least 1/2 of the And Sons team a little queasy, insofar as it looked like we'd have to buy typewriters and write outside in Oxfords, no socks. This episode is about wonder, and beauty. The case study is poetry. How do you deepen you capacity for beauty? What regular practices increase a person's sensitivity? How long should it take. We've brought Luke back on to talk about all of it. Only we asked him to leave his black beret at home.

I avsnitt 6 pratar vi om värmade drinkar. Daniel bjuder på en Hot Buttered Rum och Jacob gräver ner sig i Oxfords märkliga drinkhistoria. Dessutom: rapport från Dandelyan i London. instagram.com/cocktailpodden cocktailpodden@gmail.com

Show Notes: RealMenRealStyle.com/Episode83 One of the most difficult things when putting together an ensemble can be your shoes. There are so many types out there, and many men mistakenly think that just because shoes are black they can go with any level of formality. If you are going to a black tie affair, very view shoes will actually work for the event. You don't want to show up wearing moccasins, monk straps, or a Chelsea boot. You need to have something very formal. On the other hand if you wear black leather Oxfords with jeans or a casual suit your shoes will be over dressed. On this episode of Real Men Real Style Antonio takes out the confusion of what dress shoes you should wear by ranking 10 of the most common types of dress shoes. Download this episode today to learn what shoes you should be investing in, and what to wear to your next event. 10 Dress Shoes Ranked: Black Oxfords Oxblood/Dark Brown Oxfords and Balmorals Wholecuts Derbys and Bluchers Brogues Chelsea Boots Monk Straps Loafers Dress Boots Moccasins and Driving Shoes Highlights: Generally the simpler the construction, the more formal it is. Know the difference between closed and open lacing systems. Leather is reserved for black tie. Rubber soul is generally less formal, leather is more formal. Wholecuts are a “modern classic”. Brogues designed to let water out. Chelsea boots were big in the ‘50s/'60s among artists. Monk straps were a change up on sandals monks used to wear. Loafers were designed to be a comfortable dress shoe. The soul of a dress boot really determines how formal it is. Moccasins and driving shoes are both very casual, but dressier than a running shoe. Mindset Takeaway: The right shoes can really bring your attire together, while the wrong shoes can make you look like a clown.

Let the first annual Smash Fiction Hunger Games commence! First, from the land of Westeros (where the high lords play their game of thrones), making up for the fact that she's probably too young for this contest by being a psychopathic murderer, Arya "No One" Stark! Next, from Oxford (or one of the Oxfords, at least, given the whole "Almighty Maker ordaining his dark materials to create more worlds" thing), armed with a golden compass and a sassy soul-sidekick, Lyra "Silvertongue" Belacqua! Transporting in from the 24th century (the next generation having been greatly enhanced by numerous treks through the stars, if you will), you either love to hate him or you just hate him, it's "Shut Up" Wesley Crusher! And finally, from California (or something), Her Immortal Majesty, Hannah "Totally Not Miley Stewart" Montana! Yes, you read that right. Dan and Miles use the same opening strategy, Colin makes judicious use of aluminum cans, and Liz Logan is advocating for Hannah Montana, in the Hunger Games. What else do you need to know? This episode is batshit insane and might just knock the entire podcast spinning right off the rails. Enjoy.

Professor Dwek explores Oxford University's strong track record of interacting with the commercial world. Oxford University has a strong track record of interacting with the commercial world. This includes both spinning out new ventures that exploit its intellectual capital in the commercial world and attracting funds from the commercial world to further develop its intellectual capital. Professor Dwek is a leading Oxford scientist who has been highly successful in both aspects. Here he reflects on Oxfords experience using several seminal cases from the Universitys spin out and industry funded research activities.

Republikaner, finns dom? Javisst. Men de är lite som bajenfans. De förlorar alltid. Då och då firar de någon liten futtig triumf. Men de vet att de aldrig kommer att bli vinnare på riktigt. Det svenska kungahuset står nämligen på en extremt stabil och folklig grund. En liten minoritet fajtas för en folkvald president, men den stora massan tycker det är mysigt med kungar och drottningar. Trots att kungligheter egentligen är något vi ärvt från tidigare, mer fantasyliknande tidevarv. Här började P3 Kultur-redaktionen tänka: Kan man inte, som de flesta uppenbarligen vill, behålla kungahuset – men tokrenovera det så att det passar in i det hypermoderna, jämställda och kompromissvilliga nutids-Sverige? Självklart kan man det! Men vem ska regera, hur ska det fungera och vad ska de ha på sig? I torsdagens P3 Kultur presenterar en hjärntrust bestående av redaktionsmedlemmarna Teresa Axner, Sara Lundin och Tommie Jönsson sina absolut vassaste idéer för att modernisera monarkin - med hjälp av bland annat mobila hem, popmusik och gotiskt mode. P3 Kulturs serieskola plockar in forskaren Alastair Hird från Oxfords universitet för att gå till botten med vem Grant Morrison är och varför han är så viktig i de grafiska romanernas värld. För det är ju så att man kan knappt börja prata med serienörd utan att denne namedroppar Morrison, den skallige manusförfattaren som hävdar att han är kaosmagiker och dessutom fått sina läsare att utföra rituell grupponani. Vi följer också upp tisdagens prinsessmerchandisebonanza och bjuder in bloggaren och debattören Fredrik Westerlund. Han berättar de vitt skilda reaktionerna han fått när han börjat ge bort drinkunderlägg med prinssessmotiv som ett slags verklighetsperformance. Dessutom är det premiär för dvd-boxcirkeln – P3 Kulturs svar på bokcirkeln i P1, som istället för att läsa Joyce Carol Oates bryter förpackningen till första säsongen av den tokhajpade kriminalserien The Wire. Dagens somamrtwittrare? Författaren Josefine Adolfsson!
