Podcasts about Paradise Lost

With Symphony X embarking on their first proper U.S. tour in a decade, we decided to dive into one of the band's most beloved and iconic releases – 2007's Paradise Lost! Is it a little slice of heaven, as most fans agree – or is it actually a little bit of hell? We give our thoughts on this incredible slab of prog metal greatness!

This is part 1 of our Paradise Lost special and we welcome to the show Nick Holmes, lead vocalist with the band. The film he chose to chat about? Douglas Hickox's Theatre of Blood. A ghoulish Vincent Price flick that many consider to be his greatest performance.PARADISE LOST SPOTIFY INSTAGRAM

They explore what this means for our personal relationships and spiritual growth as a church community.Whether you missed Sunday's sermon or want to delve deeper into its meaning, this episode offers valuable perspective on how understanding our broken past can lead to flourishing relationships with God and each other.Subscribe now and join the conversation at First Baptist Arlington!

Send us a text"Darkness visible — a phrase that captures the paradox of John Milton's life: eventual blindness in body, yet vision without bounds in the mind.”"Imagine a world gone dark — yet in that darkness, a man named John Milton could see more clearly than anyone else."John Milton grew up with privilege, expectation, and a mind hungry for knowledge. His father, a scrivener, provided tutors, music lessons, and an education that would prepare him for greatness. From an early age, Milton believed he was destined for immortality.Yet life would test him. He faced political upheaval, personal loss, and eventually, blindness. By the early 1650s, at just forty-three, Milton could no longer see.Blindness for Milton was more than a physical loss; it demanded dependence on others and challenged his sense of independence. And yet, in that darkness, he created some of the greatest works in English literature.From the epic grandeur of Paradise Lost to the quiet triumph of Paradise Regained, Milton's inner vision never dimmed. And in this episode, we'll also explore how his phrase “darkness visible” has echoed across centuries, influencing writers and poets long after his time.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Matt Trump delivers a powerful and deeply personal episode exploring the spiritual darkness unleashed in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Drawing from Milton's Paradise Lost, Catholic tradition, and his own journey of faith, Matt frames current events as part of a larger battle between good and evil, where demonic forces sow ugliness, deception, and despair. He reflects on the demonic joy expressed by some over Kirk's death, calling it the most spiritually jarring moment since 9/11, and shares testimony about prayer, the rosary, and the role of Mary as “terror of demons” in this fight. With historical references, personal stories, and reflections on faith, Matt urges listeners to resist despair, reject the whispers of vengeance, and cling to God's will. This is not just commentary but a call to spiritual arms—reminding his audience that truth, beauty, and goodness will ultimately prevail.

Clare and Hannah continue their journey through Deep Heaven with C.S. Lewis, to a pure and unfallen planet where everyone is naked without shame. Seriously. The only clothed person in this entire book is literally the Devil.The planet is Perelandra—what we call Venus—a newly created Paradise, complete with a “human” King and Queen to be its stewards. But the Ancient Enemy, Satan, inflamed with Envy and bent on destruction, high-tails it there on a mission of corruption and evil. This time, Elwin Ransom (our hero from Out of the Silent Planet) is there to confront him, and stop him if he can…For complete show notes, head to the episode page on Splanchnics.com.If you'd like to pick up your own copies of Perelandra, Paradise Lost, and any other books we mentioned, do check out Clare's Bookshop.org page.

The Devil Within: Paradise Lost: REDUX - Part Two In 1988, Jefferson Township, New Jersey, was thrust into the national spotlight. A teenage boy, Tommy Sullivan, murdered his mother before taking his own life in a crime so shocking it became a lightning rod for the Satanic Panic. Suddenly, everything—from heavy metal music to role-playing games to Catholic school curriculums—was scrutinized as potential gateways to darkness. This episode, Paradise Lost, explores how Tommy's seemingly ordinary suburban life unraveled in just a matter of weeks: his exposure to occult literature, his fascination with extreme music, whispers of rituals in the woods, and a town hall meeting where parents confronted the chilling possibility that their own traditions might have paved the way for horror. Now, four years after this story first aired on The Devil Within, I'm bringing it back as part of our REDUX season—with brand new commentary. Together, we'll re-examine what we thought we knew about the Sullivan case, how the story has evolved since we first told it, and how the MGM+ documentary series Let the Devil In aligns with and expands on each episode of Season One. And while I can't reveal everything just yet, know this: there are stunning new developments, and we'll be unpacking them in our upcoming bonus episode.

The film has officially crossed $614 million worldwide, with $353M domestic (57.5%) and $260M international (42.5%). James Gunn has called the movie's success the “biggest relief of his life” because if it hadn't worked, the future of the entire DCU slate—from Supergirl to Lanterns—would have been in jeopardy.Superman Box Office UpdateDomestic box office: $353,302,360International box office: $260,800,000Worldwide total: $614,102,360This breakdown shows how crucial U.S. audiences remain for superhero films, even as international numbers grow.Variety and Deadline Report on Superman Profit MarginSuperman has an 8-week profit margin of about $125 million.It is the seventh-highest grossing film of the year.By comparison Man of Steel's profit margin was $42.7 million.We explain why domestic is still more profitable to studios than international.Gunn Relieved by Superman SuccessJames Gunn admitted that Superman's success was critical for DC Studios:“If Superman didn't work, I'm the head of DC Studios!

We have Supergirl, Peacemaker Season 2, Lanterns, Clayface—they're all connected to this!”PeacemakerSuperman's Visit to the Peacemaker SetA behind-the-scenes photo dated July 23, 2024 sparked speculation. David Corenswet appeared on the Peacemaker set in full Superman costume while James Gunn was splitting directing duties between Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. Fans believe this signals a direct connection between the two projects, with Superman potentially playing a meaningful role in Peacemaker Season 2. We disagree somewhat.How Would Fleury See Hawkgirl?Fans asked James Gunn online what Fleury might think of Hawkgirl. His playful response:“I think he'd wonder what's wrong with her head and wouldn't really know.”Yes the Grammar Fuck Up Was IntentionalJames Gunn confirmed that the infamous “Your the best” typo was intentional, sparking fan discussion.

Since the publication of John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost in 1667, readers and critics have noted the relationship between the poem and the author's political and personal struggles. What has been less prominent - at least until now - is how the poem came to haunt various political struggles over the next four centuries. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Orlando Reade about his book What in Me Is Dark, which looks at twelve readers - including Malcolm X, Thomas Jefferson, George Eliot, and Hannah Arendt - to see how Paradise Lost was understood and used by people immersed in their own revolutionary battles against tyranny and oppression. PLUS author Jodi Picoult (By Any Other Name) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read. Join Jacke on a trip through literary England (signup open through the end of September)! The History of Literature Podcast Tour is happening in May 2026!

This month head back to Colin & Ian's teenage years and Tracey's not quite as teenage years to discuss the emergence of post rock, jangly indie rock, noisy glitchy electronica, stompy nu-metal & Vic Reeves with a cold.We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order.She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - A, Aphex Twin, The Beta Band, Bjork, David Bowie, Deftones, Depeche Mode, Tanya Donelly, Mark Eitzel, Faith No More, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Kenickie, Low, Lullaby For The Working Class, Machine Head, Billy Mackenzie, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Mogwai, Nine Inch Nails, Paradise Lost, Pavement, The Prodigy, Radiohead, Rammstein, Samiam, Snot, Strapping Young Lad, Teenage Fanclub, Tindersticks, & Yo La Tengo.Find all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1xtkvukpolmGURUNJTQc5n?si=efff4c4045d84620Find our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist (featuring all of the winning songs up until now) here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/45zfDHo8zm6VqrvoEQSt3z?si=Ivt0oMj6SmitimvumYfFrQIf you want to listen to megalength playlists of all the songs we've individually picked since we started doing best of the year episodes (which need updating but I plan on doing them over the next few months or so), you can listen to Colin's here – https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5x3Vy5Jry2IxG9JNOtabRT?si=HhcVKRCtRhWCK1KucyrDdgIan's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2H0hnxe6WX50QNQdlfRH5T?si=XmEjnRqISNqDwi30p1uLqAand Tracey's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2p3K0n8dKhjHb2nKBSYnKi?si=7a-cyDvSSuugdV1m5md9NwThe playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -1st place - 20 points2nd place - 18 points3rd place – 16 points4th place – 14 points5th place – 12 points6th place – 9 points7th place – 7 points8th place – 5 points9th place – 3 points10th place -1 pointHosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey BGuest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.Playlist compiling/distributing – Helen Jackson-BrownRecorded/Edited/Mixed/Original Music by Colin Jackson-Brown for We Dig PodcastsThanks to Peter Latimer for help with the scoring system.Part of the We Dig Podcasts network along with Free With This Months Issue & Pick A Disc.Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/wedigmusic.bsky.socialInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wedigmusicpcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wedigpusicpcast/Find our other episodes & podcasts at www.wedigpodcasts.com

Building on our established styles from previous editions, we present a vibrant range of melodic, modular, symphonic, and sequential sounds created by artists who have featured on our airwaves over many years. Just a mention of Enigmatic Obsession, the creative project of Jens Gad, one of the two founders of the legendary formation Enigma. While Michael Cretu is the more widely recognised figure, Jens Gad played a crucial role in shaping Enigma's distinctive sound. We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mark Dwane on 24th July, following the recent discovery of his cancer diagnosis and limited prognosis. In homage to Mark's remarkable talent with MIDI guitar, we have selected two tracks from the 2019 album 'Martian Apparitions,' which reimagines his 1988 debut release, ‘The Monuments Of Mars.'

De Loodzware Jongens op Dynamo Metalfest 2025 – drie dagen metal, interviews en feest!Wat een weekend! We waren het hele weekend te gast op Dynamo Metal Fest, en wat hebben we genoten. Eerder hadden we de organisatoren en Loud Noise Productions bazen Tjerk Maas en Paul van Berlo al in de show om dit jubileumjaar te vieren — en nu konden we zelf ervaren hoe groots deze editie was.Dank aan Kink Distortion en onze collega's Bjorn van Eeuwijk , Mike Arntz en Wim Van Grunsven , Loudnoise en de complete crew, Luciano en Kick Verhaegen voor de fotos en natuurlijk alle mensen die we spraken: op het veld, bij de markt én backstage. Rick , Ernst en Rutger deden de interviews in de kantine van de ijsbaan met Bark, Ruud Jolie (Within Temptation), Inherited (onze bijna-huisband!), Coffin Feeder, Charlotte Wessels en Pothamus. Daarnaast zagen we fantastische shows van o.a. Gojira, Obituary, Rivers of Nihil, Paradise Lost, Opeth, Kerry King, Fear Factory — en natuurlijk nog veel meer.We genoten niet alleen van de muziek, maar ook van alles eromheen: het heerlijke eten, de backstage bar… wat vonden we daar eigenlijk van? Dat hoor je zaterdag! En alsof dat nog niet genoeg is, liep Sidney weer rond als razende reporter om sfeer te proeven en bekende én nieuwe gezichten middels "diepte-interviews" te spreken.In de uitzending blikken we uitgebreid terug op DMF 2025, hoor je onze interviews en nemen we de sfeer mee van voor én achter de schermen. Natuurlijk is er ook weer een concertagenda, beoordelen we nieuwe releases en hoor je hoe wij dit jubileumfeest hebben ervaren.

This week's episode features an in-depth conversation with Mat "Kvohst" McNerney of Hexvessel, diving into their brand-new album, “Nocturne”. We explore his formative years with the UK underground legends Code, trace his evolving musical path, and uncover the inspirations behind his life-changing move to Finland.

For centuries, the lodestone of the West's moral compass pointed to Jesus. Today, it points away from Hitler. That shift from a positive to a negative moral touchstone can be seen in popular culture's panoply of dark lords—Darth Vader, Sauron, Voldemort—each a rather unsubtle echo of Hitler himself.Join Sam Fornecker for a conversation with Alec Ryrie, Professor of the History of Christianity at Durham University and author of The Age of Hitler and How We Will Survive It (Reaktion, 2025). According to Ryrie, the story of the war against Hitler has become “not only our Trojan War, but our Paradise Lost." What Ryrie calls anti-Nazi values have set the agenda for the West since the war: but that moral consensus is fast collapsing. The question is, what will follow it? And what is the Church's role in preserving the moral lessons of the twenty-first century, while also—God willing—modeling a way of being in the world that leads to greater human thriving than anti-Nazi values on their own can sustain?Enjoying this podcast?

Misha Wurman is a professional bartender and cocktail creator. If you want to get one of Misha's original cocktails, here's 2 options of where you can visit him bartending— Paradise Lost (Tuesdays) 100 2nd Ave., New York, NY, 10003 Public Records upstairs cocktail lounge (Friday/Saturday) 233 Butler St, Brooklyn, NY 11217 Misha Wurman is 27-year-old bartender who Dr. Lisa has basically watched grow up since he was born. He's got this really interesting mixed background - Afro-Caribbean on his mom's side and Russian/Swedish/Jewish on his dad's side. Growing up was pretty complicated because he'd spend weekdays with his mom and grandma in Spanish Harlem, then weekends with his dad in this fancy SoHo loft. When his mom got sick, he ended up living with his dad's parents in Rhode Island for over six years. How He Got Into Bartending Misha went to Hampshire College to study film, but while he was there, he discovered craft cocktails at this bar called The Dancer on the Lower East Side. Now he works at two spots - Paradise Lost and Public Records - making these fancy $18-28 cocktails. He's got this whole creative approach where he calls it "making potions" and comes up with wild combinations like a white mezcal Negroni with cold brew. Every drink he makes has its own story behind it. What Makes Him Good At It The thing is, all that bouncing between different family situations as a kid actually made him really good at reading people and handling different personalities. He sees bartending as more than just mixing drinks - it's about meeting people where they're at emotionally, whether they're out having fun or dealing with something heavy. He loves how collaborative the whole cocktail scene is, and you can tell he's found a way to blend his artistic side with his natural people skills.

In a fit of spite, Professor Kozlowski condenses his discussion of landmark British political philosophers Hobbes and Locke - forerunners of the American constitution - into a single joint lecture. We'll compare and contrast the two states of nature proposed by these thinkers, examine their divergent attitudes toward the authority of government, and root their philosophical conclusions in the tumultuous history of the English Civil War.Hooray for English philosophers - no translations necessary for these texts! Here are the Project Gutenberg texts of Hobbes' Leviathan, and Locke's Second Treatise Concerning Government.Additional readings for this lecture include some more 17th-century English classics: Bacon's scientific Utopia, New Atlantis; Milton's epic masterpiece, Paradise Lost; and Swift's satirical classic, Gulliver's Travels. Finally, for my video gamers, I recommend the colonization-based management sim/city builder Anno 1404 (it may not be the most period-appropriate game in the series, but I think it is the best mechanical representation of this era without the industrialization mechanics of Anno 1800).If you're interested in Professor Kozlowski's other online projects, check out his website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

Beyond the Gates 2025, held from July 30 to August 2 in Bergen, Norway, was a must-visit for metal fans. This iconic festival, set across historic venues like Grieghallen and USF Verftet, delivered a killer lineup with King Diamond's first Norwegian show in 19 years, Paradise Lost, Misthyrming and more. Featuring 18 bands making their festival debut and epic sets like Gehenna's original lineup and Abbath tearing through Immortal's discography, it was a diverse celebration of black, death, and heavy metal. Fresh from Bergen, here's my review of the thirteenth edition of Norway's legendary festival.   Thumbnail credit: The ALMIGHTY Necroshorns (https://www.instagram.com/necroshorns/)

The West Memphis Three were convicted by two juries of killing eight year old Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Chris Byers on May 5th, 1993 in West Memphis Arkansas. After campaign to free them West Memphis Three's request for DNA testing gets green lit by Arkansas court. The West Memphis Three (Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin & Jesse Misskelley) still haven't released the DNA results from 2011 but don't let facts get in the way of a good “feel good” story about convicted child killers. This new ruling exposes the grift of the wrongful conviction movement and how it manipulates the public into thinking that DNA is the only evidence that matters.Get access to exclusive content & support the podcast by becoming a Patron today! https://patreon.com/robertaglasstruecrimereportThrow a tip in the tip jar! https://buymeacoffee.com/robertaglassSupport Roberta by sending a donation via Venmo. https://venmo.com/robertaglassBecome a channnel member for custom Emojis, first looks and exclusive streams here: https://youtube.com/@robertaglass/join Show Notes: WM3 Revelations - https://thewm3revelations.wordpress.com/tag/west-memphis-three-murder-damien-echols-jessie-misske/WM3 Facts- https://westmemphisthreefacts.comARK online (re DNA results 2011) - https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2011/aug/25/video-prosecutor-lab-study-west-memphis-3-case-dna/?print&fbclid=IwQ0xDSwL8sgNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHlw9oFfCepvF40dsLs6t1ig45HI0Eo8X3jjV7uHB2duEaV_XE3ubNfNkDfPU_aem_AAxG7KC6oZo6lSztkxT1JQ Thank you Patrons!Therese Tunks, JC, Lizzy D, Elizabeth Drake, Texas Mimi, Barb, Deborah Shults, Debra Ratliff, Stephanie Lamberson, Maryellen Sudol, Mona, Karen Pacini, Jen Buell, Marie Horton, ER, Rosie Grace, B.

SLEERICKETS is a podcast about poetry and other intractable problems. NB: Did I forget about Hitler? you ask. Did I forget about Stalin? On the one hand, yes, I temporarily did. On the other, there's something about the notion that Gilles de Rais did all this personally in his own home for the explicit purpose of impressing the Devil with his evilness that really sickens the soul. But yes, good point, there's always Hitler, who was, in his own way, the worst person who ever lived.My book Midlife now exists.

Paradise Regained is a poem by the 17th century English poet John Milton, published in 1671. It is connected by name to his earlier and more famous epic poem Paradise Lost, with which it shares similar theological themes. Based on the Gospel of Luke's version of the Temptation of Christ, Paradise Regained is more thoughtful in writing style, and thrives upon the imagery of Jesus' perfection in contrast to the shame of Lucifer.

The show opens with additional thoughts on White House doctor Kevin O'Connor choosing to plead the 5th and claim doctor-patient confidentiality. Unfortunately, that last isn't really applicable, and, as we mentioned yesterday, providing full immunity wipes out the former. Attorney Alan Dershowitz says there is definitely and Epstein file because he needed to use it to defend himself. However, in so doing, he had to sign a non-disclosure, so he cannot reveal any names. Batya Ungar-Sargon agrees with my premise that it's a myth to believe Americans will not do the work that illegals are doing. It's a fallacy that keeps wages down and hurts the working class. This brings me to a literary moment about Milton's, “Paradise Lost,” where Lucifer said he would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven. It dovetails nicely into a comment from Stephen Miller about the desire to flood the Western nations with illegals in order to crush them. Sean Spicer weighs-in on how Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson doesn't know the difference between writing a legal argument and a Op-Ed. While we are on judicial activism, another district judge has decided anyone born here from illegals belongs in a protected class and has found a workaround to the SCOTUS ruling from a week ago. Dollar Store 44 refused to acknowledge that the calls for blood in the streets is coming from his own party. Stacey Abrams spreads fear porn. Marc Elias is worried about the call to criminally investigate James Comey and John Brennan. This leads to a discussion over color revolutions. We close with three positive items: Trump is imposing a 50% tariff on Brazil, Marco Rubio is imposing sanctions on the UN's Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese and we just locked in a deal for the US to be Germany's single-largest provider of liquified natural gas.

JAMES GUNN SUPERMAN INTERVIEW!! Had to calm my nerves before this one! Greg Alba from Reel Rejects sits down with Superman director & DC Studios co-head James Gunn for an in-depth conversation about the film's emotional core, the pressures of leading the DCU, and the very real online discourse that inspired Superman's struggles with public perception. James Gunn opens up about how Superman's vulnerability to social media criticism mirrors his own experiences, why it was essential to show Superman's human side, and how embracing imperfections makes the character more relatable. We also dive into James Gunn's personal creative process, battling burnout while writing Creature Commandos, Superman, and Peacemaker Season 2 all in one year, and his advice for handling pressure, responsibility, and self-judgment as an artist. Greg and James explore Superman's kindness as punk rock, the impact of Mr. Terrific in the film, and James shares his recommended comic book runs, including All-Star Superman, Superman: Birthright, Superman for All Seasons, and The Terrifics. Superman (2025) stars David Corenswet (Pearl, Hollywood) as Clark Kent / Superman, Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, The Great) as Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo (The Righteous Gemstones) as Jimmy Olsen, Nathan Fillion (The Rookie, Firefly) as Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced (Dora and the Lost City of Gold, Madame Web) as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi (X-Men: First Class, StartUp) as Mister Terrific, and Anthony Carrigan (Barry) as Metamorpho. Upcoming DCU Projects include Creature Commandos, Superman (2025), The Authority, The Brave and the Bold (Batman), Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Swamp Thing, Peacemaker Season 2, Lanterns, Paradise Lost, Booster Gold, and Waller. This interview offers a candid, inspiring look into James Gunn's mindset as he leads the future of DC and brings a new version of Superman to life.
