In this episode, I'm joined again by Dr. Chrysovalantis Kyriacou where we discuss the ακριτικά τραγούδια i.e., the Acritic Songs! These are heroic ballads from the borderlands that emerged between the 9th and 11th centuries, highlighting semi- mythological figures like the legendary Digenis Akritas. Passed down through performances at festivals and weddings -- often created and performed by or for rural peasants -- these songs provide rare insight into the lives, struggles, and values of marginalized medieval communities. Their transmission reflects both elite and popular storytelling styles, often mixing Homeric, Christian, and local themes. In Cyprus, these songs were adapted into the local dialect. They also included unique Cypriot experiences, like in The Song of Antzoules, which reflects Cypriot responses to events in Anemourion in Anatolia and subsequent Frankish rule. In Cyprus, the legend of Digenis is imprinted on the land itself, from his handprint on the Pentadaktylos to the rocks of Petra tou Romiou, once believed to have been hurled at Saracen ships by Digenis himself! P.S. In this episode I learn that Vikings (VARANGIANS) may have been stationed in Cyprus!
“Losing Doe B still hurts everybody” ~ CBM Soulja CBM Soulja sits down with Lalaa Shepard of The Progress Report for a powerful and emotional conversation about life, loss, and resilience. In this interview, CBM Soulja opens up about learning of Doe B's passing while he was incarcerated, the pain of losing a close friend, and the impact it had on his life and mindset. He reflects on beating two life sentences, being locked up while trying to maintain family ties, and the emotional toll of navigating those moments publicly and privately. The conversation also dives into his upbringing in Montgomery, Alabama, his early journey into music, and the deep bond he shared with Doe B — including how Doe B influenced his sound and career. CBM Soulja discusses new music, including his project Turkey Bag Muzik featuring Doe B and Lil Daddy, and speaks on how his experiences shaped the direction of the project. He also opens up about fatherhood, losing close friends, social media's impact on real relationships, and the importance of growth, accountability, and purpose.
Writer, director, and star Joanna Arnow delivers one of the sharpest, most quietly uncomfortable comedies of recent years with The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed (2023), a film that weaponizes awkwardness, deadpan humor, and emotional stasis. Arnow plays Ann, a thirty-three-year-old woman drifting through New York City, desperate for connection but seemingly incapable of advocating for herself. She works a job that barely registers as meaningful, endures social interactions that feel transactional at best, and navigates a BDSM relationship that has quietly slipped from consensual ritual into something emotionally hollow.Lisa Vandever and Keith Gordon join Mike to unpack Arnow's deceptively modest narrative and the precision with which it captures a very modern kind of paralysis.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Curtis Sliwa fills in for Mark Simone and discusses a recent Hollywood Reporter article that highlights his signature habit of always asking new acquaintances where they are from. Curtis offers his perspective on the article and delves into why this personal touch matters to him. He also pays tribute to legendary French actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot, who has passed away at 91. Curtis reflects on Bardot's life, her dedication to animal welfare, and draws parallels to the animal advocacy work he and his wife, Nancy Sliwa, are passionate about. Curtis takes your calls on the Hollywood Reporter profile, Brigitte Bardot's legacy, and related topics. Hour 2: Curtis continues as guest host for Mark Simone, turning his attention to Republican leadership in New York City. He argues that the current GOP leadership appears to be moving away from supporting a true two-party system, undermining efforts to make New York more politically competitive. The conversation shifts to Elon Musk's recent comments on the city's next mayor and his opinion on the new Fire Commissioner pick, adding another layer to the ongoing debate about New York's political future. Curtis takes your calls, inviting opinions on the direction of NYC's Republican leadership, Musk's remarks, and other pressing local issues. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the Bhāgavatam, it said that the universe is working in a uniform way, which means that everything works perfectly because it's all under the guidance of Kṛṣṇa and His energies. So if something happens to you because of somebody else, we can see it as the universe working in a uniform way, and I'll give you an example. Peter Burwash was a friend of mine. He was a businessman. Passed away a few years ago. Used to be a professional athlete, and then he started a company called Peter Burwash International. He knew Prabhupāda well because he lived in Hawaii and Prabhupāda used to live there and write. And it was Peter Burwash's headquarters. He took a lot of advice from Prabhupāda, and when he was just getting his business started and he got interested in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he gave a donation to the temple, and he handed it to the local temple commander to start his life membership. About an hour later, the person who accepted the money absconded, which means they ran away with the money. Peter Burwash was very angry and he went to Prabhupāda to complain directly to him because Prabhupāda lived just right upstairs. And when Prabhupāda heard his case, the first thing he said was: “Don't become angry with the instrument of your karma.” Peter Burwash lectured all over the world, and that was what he always started with when he gave talks—that he learned this from his spiritual teacher. He would say: “Don't become angry with the instrument of your karma.” So there are philosophical ways of dealing with it. They're very practical tools that you can use to get through all these sticky situations to make sure that you don't make it worse than it was before. But you don't have to just accept it and move on or just hold it in. There are ways to deal with it.

The House passed a bipartisan permitting reform bill this week aimed at speeding up environmental reviews for energy projects but only after a bruising intra-party fight among Republicans. That clash highlights just how politically fraught permitting reform has become and raises doubts about whether any deal can advance in the Senate. POLITICO's Josh Siegel breaks down what's in the House bill and what comes next in permitting reform negotiations. Plus, a coalition of tribal, environmental, local and consumer groups filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's rules making it harder for wind and solar projects to earn federal tax credits. James Bikales is an oil and gas reporter for POLITICO. Josh Siegel is the host of POLITICO Energy and a congressional energy reporter for POLITICO.

Most great businesses start with a personal problem. For Brittany Hizer and Addie Gundry, a public restroom moment with Addie's infant son led to Pluie, the first self-sanitizing diaper changing table in the U.S.In this episode of Founder Talk, Brittany and I unpack the real journey behind building and scaling a physical product company, one with long sales cycles, manufacturing hurdles, capital constraints, and enterprise-level customers that move at their own speed.We dig into the unglamorous truth of creating physical products; the tooling costs, supply chain risk, design revisions, and the emotional weight of raising capital when your early investors are your friends and family. Brittany also explains how she and Addie Gundry validated the problem before building, created a complementary partnership as complete strangers, and used relentless outreach to get Pluie installed in stadiums, airports, malls, and national accounts across the country.Then we also talk about the company's major turning point, their Shark Tank exposure, and how it helped them gain unexpected momentum; opening doors to big accounts and accelerating Pluie's credibility with enterprise customers and reshaping their company's long-term growth strategy and allowing them to scale faster than typical traditional hardware startups. You'll learn:✅ Why the right partner matters more than having the right idea✅ How to validate a problem before spending money on a solution✅ The brutal reality of hardware timelines, cash needs, and operations✅ How persistence, follow-up, and cold outreach fuel early traction✅ Why the right customer segment can change your entire businessIf you're a founder building a physical product, pitching enterprise clients, or navigating the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, this episode is a blueprint for what it actually takes to keep going.Connect with Brittany Hizer:Guest LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittany-hizer-7806a74/Guest Website: https://hellopluie.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

I am always amazed and humbled when any parent can come on to my podcast to talk about the passing of their child from any form of pediatric cancer. This feeling was no more striking than in my conversation with Tim Finkel, who spoke so eloquently about losing his and Angela's youngest son Ryder just 54 days ago to DIPG at the age of 9. This Pediatric Brain cancer still does not have any type of good news as far as a survival rate is concerned, which is the same story that DIPG parents and families have been hearing for over 60 years.

Before there was the Chinese Exclusion Act, there was the Page Act. Passed in 1875 amid growing anti-Chinese sentiment in the 19th century, the Page Act was one of the first national immigration laws in the United States. It targeted several categories of people, including contract laborers from Asia, women brought in for sex work and certain convicted criminals. In practice, however, it functioned mainly to restrict Chinese and other Asian women from entering the country.“It had enormous implications for the issues of race, gender and labor in U.S. immigration history and Asian American history,” says UC Berkeley history professor Hidetaka Hirota, who moderated a campus discussion in April to mark the Page Act's 150th anniversary.In this Berkeley Talks episode, a panel of Berkeley scholars unpack how the Page Act helped institutionalize racially targeted exclusion and gendered surveillance at the border, and how it laid the groundwork for the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act and later immigration laws. They also challenge the enduring myth of the “white bootstrapping ethnic,” supposedly living “the right way” without state support, showing instead how immigration and welfare regimes were structured to advantage European newcomers while systematically excluding Asians and other people of color.Panelists include Catherine Ceniza Choy, professor of ethnic studies; Cybelle Fox, professor of sociology; Leti Volpp, professor of law; and Hidetaka Hirota, associate professor of history, who moderated the conversation. The event, which took place on April 23, was hosted by Berkeley's Social Science Matrix and was co-sponsored by the Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Initiative, the Department of Sociology, the Department of History, the Department of Ethnic Studies, the Asian American Research Center and the Center for Race and Gender.Watch a video of the discussion.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts/berkeley-talks).Music by HoliznaCC0.Photo from the National Archives.

On this four-year anniversary episode of Seattle Nice, we dissect two major policy and political battles, starting with the contentious Seattle Police Officer Guild (SPOG) contract. Passed by a narrow and unusual 6-3 City Council vote, the contract gives officers significant raises— a 42% increase overall— without requiring key accountability measures. We also discuss Mayor-elect Katie Wilson's decision to retain Police Chief Sean Barnes, and the Trump administration's erratic moves on homelessness funding. Our editor is Quinn Waller.

San Francisco could see taller and more dense buildings in the city's north and west side after the Board of Supervisors approved Mayor Daniel Lurie's ‘Family Zoning' plan last week. Some believe it will lead to more housing and lower rents, while others worry that new construction will change their neighborhoods and lead to displacement. But how soon — and how much — could it really change the city? Links: San Francisco Supervisors Pass Rezoning Plan, Making Way for Taller, Denser Housing Learn more about your ad choices.

The Secure Rural Schools act has provided crucial federal funding for rural schools and counties for 25 years. But for the past two years, funding has lapsed as efforts to renew the act failed and House Republicans omitted the program’s funding from federal spending in July. Now, that funding could be reinstated. On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of the Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act, which was approved by the Senate earlier this year. The bill now heads to the president to be signed and made into law. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a democrat representing southwest Washington, co-lead the push for this bill.

Some stories come from the dead of night. Others happen under the burning Arizona sun. But in Yuma's endless stretches of agricultural fields—where the roads run dark and the palm trees tower over the dirt—something else moves. Something people keep seeing… even when they wish they hadn't. A woman driving home slammed the brakes when a pale figure stepped into her headlights—only to watch it pass cleanly through the car. Weeks later, in broad daylight, a worker swore she saw a barefoot little boy weaving through the palm trees, untouched by the blistering desert heat. And the strangest part? These aren't isolated claims. People in that same patch of land have whispered about a woman… a child… shapes darting between the trees… for years. Is it the heat? Exhaustion? Imagination? Or is something wandering those fields—seen by drivers at night and workers by day—waiting for just the right moment to be noticed? #supernaturalencounter #womaninwhite #paranormalactivity #creepyencounters #realhorrorstories #theunexplained #ghosts #ghostsightings #ghostlyactivity #hauntings #paranormal Love real ghost stories?

Why is a deregulated state like Illinois suddenly embracing central planning? In this episode, I talk with Kady McFadden and John Delurey about the state's decision to empower its utility commission to directly procure clean energy. We discuss why capacity markets are too slow for the current environment and their strategy of aggressively framing renewables and storage not just as green, but as the only “fast and cheap” way to protect ratepayers from price spikes.
