Pour comprendre The White Ship, publié en français sous le titre Le Bateau Blanc (et plus rarement Le Vaisseau Blanc), il faut se plonger dans la facétieuse oeuvre de Lord Dunsany, et en particulier dans sa nouvelle de fantasy intitulée “Idle Days on the Yann”.Dans cet épisode : HPL part en expédition jusqu'à Boston, ST Joshi désavoue la poésie de Lovecraft, et Dunsany fait montre de la plus distinguée des diplomaties. Errata : L'hôtel où se déroule la conférence de Dunsany à Boston est le Copley Plaza, et non le Corey PlazaLe Cook qui rend visite à Lovecraft est W. Paul Cook, et non pas Paul W. Cook. Frédéric sera dûment châtié pour ses erreurs. Il existe bien un groupe de musique états-unien nommé Cathuria qui a publié un album intitulé The White Ship (sic).

Blood on the Sawdust: The Brutal World of Victorian Boxing Episode Overview In this 9th Anniversary Special, we step out of the West End drawing rooms and into the blood-flecked, sawdust-covered floors of 19th-century “Fancy” public houses. Inspired by the depiction of East End street culture in A Thousand Blows, this episode explores the history of Victorian boxing—from the illegal bare-knuckle bouts of the Regency era to the gentrified, gloved sport codified under the Marquess of Queensberry Rules. We examine how prizefighting evolved from a brutal survival strategy into a national obsession, the legal cat-and-mouse games played across county lines, and the medical and physical toll extracted from the fighters. We also dive into the remarkable life of international combat instructor Colonel Thomas Hoyer Monstery and uncover the overlooked history of 19th-century female prizefighters. Key Topics Covered: Housekeeping & AI Voice Policy: Why the podcast is permanently stepping away from AI-generated voice models in favour of human research, along with updates on replacement recording equipment and audio access. The “Sweet Science” & Prizefighting History: How bare-knuckle fighting functioned as a mix of martial arts, local wrestling, and survival in an era where the body was often a worker’s sole asset. The Structural Cage of the Law: The jurisdictional loopholes that allowed fights to flourish on county borders, and the evolution of legal precedents from R v Billingham (1825) to R v Coney (1882). The Aristocratic “Fancy” & Early Pioneers: The rise of sports journalism via Pierce Egan's Boxiana, and landmark international contests like the 1810 bout between Tom Cribb and former American slave Tom Molineaux. Case Study – The Ruin of Harry Broome: Following the career arc of Harry Broome from his controversial match at Acorn Bridge to his defeat by Tom Paddock and his eventual death in poverty. The Queensberry Transition: Why the introduction of gloves in 1867 was viewed with suspicion by working-class fighters, and how padded gloves inadvertently increased the long-term risk of chronic brain injury. Gentlemen, Self-Defence & Martial Arts: Highlights from Colonel Thomas Hoyer Monstery's C19th treatise Self Defence for Ladies and Gentlemen, including his views on boxing over firearms and his praise for female swordmasters. Women in the Ring: The subversion of Victorian gender norms, focusing on the 1888 world championship bout between Hattie Leslie and Alice Leary, and the legal outrage that followed.

As the summer hits the beginning of the end, we're taking a few minutes to reflect on all of our vacation fun. And what better way to share one of our favorite 2026 vacations than to do an entire bonus episode reviewing our trip to Utica, New York. More specifically, our trip to the Compassionate Care Conference hosted by Upstate Caring Partners. And, for ABA Inside Track, nothing says vacation like amazing speakers, street audio poster sessions, and scintillating conversations about the state of behavioral treatment. Next, we supplement your beach reading time with last year's Book Club episode on the trauma treatment bestseller "The Body Keeps the Score", unlocked for all.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss one of the towering figures of Brazilian and world literature, Machado de Assis (1839 - 1908). He was the descendant of slaves and built his career while slavery was still in place in Brazil (abolished 1888) and many of his characters were from the slave-owning class who were also the readers of his books. At the time, those readers were delighted to see themselves represented and it was only later in the 20th Century that critics realized just how much Machado was satirising them. While he brings 19th Century Brazil vividly to life, Machado's works transcend time and place and, according to Salman Rushdie, they seem to have been written yesterday not 100 years ago.With Ana Cláudia Suriani da Silva Associate Professor in Brazilian Studies at University College LondonClaire Williams Professor of Brazilian Literature and Culture at the Faculty of Modern Languages at the University of Oxford, fellow of St. Peter's CollegeAnd Viviane Carvalho da Annunciação Affiliated Lecturer at the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics at the University of CambridgeProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Lamonte Aidoo and Daniel F.

Welcome to Unibrow Radio Fiction, a new series where the editors of The Unibrow speak to authors, share selected readings, and begin to think about the art being fiction and narrative writing. Today's guest coincides with Issue 02, with an excerpt and interview with Eirinie Carson and her new novel, Bloodfire, Baby. The book is being hailed by critics and honored for its honesty and daring story. It is Carson's first novel after her memoir, The Dead Are Gods. Shaquille Heath interviews Carson about creating the characters and the story behind the making of the book. The book is "a maternal gothic tale of new motherhood and the torment of a centuries-old haunting," and as you will hear in this conversation with Carson, comes from her own life experience as a new mother and the stories that began to take shape on the page as she experienced her own postpartum reality. Bloodfire, Baby is currently available via Penguin Books. Audio excerpted with permission of Penguin Random House Audio from BLOODFIRE, BABY by Eirinie Carson, excerpt read by Emana Rachelle.

In this episode of High Theory, Kim talks to Ben Mangrum about Generic. A curious term that denotes both the conventions and rules of genre, and the impersonal or nameless quality of things like generic drugs or generic devices; the generic structures many of our cultural codes. Ben uses both senses to talk about the history of computing. He tells us about the surprising role the genre of comedy has played in our interactions with computers. Ben suggested that we reference Spike Jones's 2010 short film I'm Here as an example of computational comedy. In the episode Ben references Aziz Ansari and Eric Klinenberg's Modern Romance (Penguin Books 2016), a book of comedy and social critique about online dating, as well as classics like Agatha Christie's Muder on the Orient Express (Collins Crime Club 1934), William Gibson's Neuromancer (Ace Books 1984), and the film You've Got Mail (1998). He also talks about David Schumway's writing on screwball comedies, “Screwball Comedies: Constructing Romance, Mystifying Marriage” in Cinema Journal 30 no. 4 (Summer 1991): 7-23, doi: 0.2307/1224884, and Lauren Berlant's on genre, “Genre Flailing” in Capacious: Journal for Emerging Affect Inquiry 1 no. 2 (2018). If you want to learn more, check out Ben's book, The Comedy of Computation: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Obsolescence (Stanford 2025). In this cultural history of the computer, Ben shows that comedy has been central to how we've made sense of the technology's sweeping effects on public life and private experience. From the first Broadway play to include a computer in the 1950s to popular films and joke-telling digital assistants, many have used comedy to make the computer seem ordinary. Others have tried to stage the assimilation of computers within corporate life as a kind of comic drama. Mangrum describes these and many other ways in which comedy and computation have come together as a new genre of experience: the comedy of computation. Ben Mangrum works as an Associate Professor of Literature at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research examines topics ranging from the environmental humanities to twentieth-century “world literature” and the history of ideas and media underlying contemporary methods in the digital humanities. His first book, Land of Tomorrow: Postwar Fiction and the Crisis of American Liberalism, was published in 2019 by Oxford University Press.

Stephanie Alexander AO is a national treasure, as is her famous book 'The Cook's Companion' (Penguin Books), which she has lovingly revised, renewed and released for its 30th anniversary. Keeping things simple and anxiety-free is Stephanie's goal and she takes us through her love of cooking - which started at a very young age - and shares her thoughts on everything from TV cooking shows to air fryers. Stephanie is passing on her passion for cooking through her other passion: The Kitchen Garden Foundation, which she founded to introduce kids to the garden and the kitchen. The Food Poll this week features Spanakopita. For those who don't know, Spanakopita is a traditional Greek savoury pastry consisting of a spinach and feta cheese filling encased in flaky, buttery filo. So, are you a yay or nay?

In this episode of Building Your Brand, I'm chatting with David Pearson, a world-class book designer who began his career at Penguin Books before venturing out on his own. David specializes in both book covers and the internal layouts (text design) of books. We dive deep into the "crossovers" between book design and branding, exploring how David handles the unique challenge of designing for "dead authors" while trying to capture entirely new audiences. David shares his refreshing and somewhat rebellious take on the creative process, explaining why he identifies as a "slow designer" and why he's perfectly happy staying at the starting line while everyone else races toward the latest tech. This episode is sponsored by SilverStag Type Foundry. If you're a designer looking for a typeface that really elevates your brand, SilverStag is a brilliant place to start. It's a one-person type studio creating carefully crafted fonts with multiple weights, alternates, and ligatures; all designed to help brands stand out. Head to lizmosley.net/SLTF and use the code LIZxSLTF for 20% off. Key Takeaways Finding Your "Creative Fit": David emphasizes the importance of aligning your career with your personality; for him, the detail-oriented, rhythmic nature of book design was a perfect match. The Value of Constraints: Whether it's a limited budget or a specific genre's visual "code," David finds that being "hemmed in" actually sparks more creativity. Shapeshifting vs. Personal Style: Unlike illustrators who are often hired for a specific "look," David believes designers should be "shapeshifters" who serve the author's art rather than their own personal brand. Collaborative Client Relationships: Moving away from the "big reveal," David has found that involving clients in the process and presenting multiple options helps them feel like partners in the creation. The "Erosion of Struggle": David and Liz discuss the risks of AI and high-speed technology, noting that the "struggle" of the creative process is often where the most meaningful work happens. Episode Highlights 03:32 – The "lucky" redundancy that led David from text design to the covers department at Penguin. 06:46 – The "ambling and shambling" process: Why David embraces being a slow designer 10:47 – The challenge of "repackaging" dead authors for modern audiences. 15:58 – Navigating visual codes: When to play it safe and when to "elbow" competitors out. 24:41 – Why "one concept" presentations can feel like a prison for designers. 37:34 – Philosophical worries about AI and the "speed" of modern change. About the Guest David Pearson is an acclaimed graphic designer known for his expertise in typography and book jacket design. After a highly successful tenure at Penguin, he established his own studio, Type as Image.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/typeasimage/ Website: https://a-g-i.org/user/davidpearson/view/projects//   I would love to hear what you think of this episode, so please do let me know on Instagram where I'm @‌lizmmosley or @‌buildingyourbrandpodcast and I hope you enjoy the episode!

The Republican zone behind the frontlines of the civil war was a hot mess, and nowhere was it hotter or messier than Catalonia.

Welcome back, loves!The male gaze didn't begin with film, it was already centuries old by the time cameras appeared. In this episode, I trace how powerful patrons, religious institutions and elite collectors shaped beauty standards through the paintings they commissioned. From reclining Venuses to carefully staged portraits, these images didn't just depict women, they trained viewers how to look at them. But when women finally entered the art world and began painting themselves and each other, the visual language started to shift.By the end of the episode, you may never look at a painting, a movie scene, or even your own camera roll quite the same way again.Are.

With Bilbao fallen and the Basques effectively knocked out of the war, the Republic was desperate to stall the final collapse of their enclave on the northern coast of Spain. Two large offensives were launched with the intent of drawing Franco's attentions south, but their failures only minimally delayed the final result for their isolated comrades.    Bibliography for this episode:    Jackson, Gabriel The Spanish Republic and the Civil War, 1931-39 Princeton University Press 1965 Preston, Paul The Spanish Civil War: Reaction, Revolution, and Revenge Harper Perennial 2006 Thomas, Hugh The Spanish Civil War Modern Library 2001 Beevor, Antony The Battle for Spain: The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 Penguin Books 2006  Preston, Paul A People Betrayed: A History of Corruption, Political Incompetence, and Social Division in Modern Spain 1874-2018 William Collins 2020   Questions?

With Spain split between warring zones that by the late summer of 1936 would each function as coherent entities, the battlelines were set. Which means today I am taking a look at the internal conditions of each zone to establish where each side stood as the big battles approached.    Bibliography for this episode:  Preston, Paul A People Betrayed: A History of Corruption, Political Incompetence, and Social Division in Modern Spain 1874-2018 William Collins 2020 Jackson, Gabriel The Spanish Republic and the Civil War, 1931-39 Princeton University Press 1965 Preston, Paul The Spanish Civil War: Reaction, Revolution, and Revenge Harper Perennial 2006 Thomas, Hugh The Spanish Civil War Modern Library 2001 Beevor, Antony The Battle for Spain: The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 Penguin Books 2006    Questions?

Jessica Hische and Chris Shiflett first crossed paths at Studiomates, a Brooklyn based co-working space where some of New York's most talented designers built businesses and influential organizations. Visit our Substack for bonus content and more: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/jessica-hische-and-chris-shiflett Jessica, known for her lettering and illustration work with clients like Wes Anderson and The New York Times, and Chris, whose career spans from the early foundations of the web to co-founding Brooklyn Beta, both experienced firsthand what happens when passionate, independent creatives come together. Today, they're channeling those lessons into Studioworks, a business platform built specifically for independent studios and creative professionals. They're tackling the unglamorous but essential parts of running a creative practice—invoicing, project management, client relationships—with the same care and community spirit that defined those Brooklyn days. In this conversation, we talk about the magic of Studiomates and Brooklyn Beta, what they learned from running their own studios for years, and why they decided to bootstrap a tool for the creative community rather than chase venture capital. It's a story about building something sustainable, beautiful, and genuinely useful for the people who make things. Bios Jessica Hische is one of the most beloved and influential designers of the past two decades. She's best known for her lettering and illustration, but equally for her generosity in sharing what she knows. Jessica was part of the original Studiomates community in Brooklyn, has worked with clients like Wes Anderson, The New York Times, and Penguin Books, and now brings her creative leadership to Studioworks, where she and Chris are building better tools for independent creatives and small studios. Chris Shiflett is a longtime friend of the design community whose career spans the deep foundations of the early web and the heart of the creative world. His early books on HTTP and web security became unexpectedly influential at a time when the internet was still taking shape, opening the door to some extraordinary projects — including one that generated nearly half of the internet's traffic and another responsible for a fourth of the world's email. After years helping big internet companies solve scalability problems, he realized he was more inspired by the people creating them — the designers, founders, and builders making things people love. That shift led him to the original Studiomates community, to co-founding Brooklyn Beta, and ultimately to the work he and Jessica are doing today with Studioworks.

Today we return to our series about epoch-making trials with the case of the book they tried and failed to ban. In 1960 Penguin Books was prosecuted at the Old Bailey under the new Obscene Publications Act (1959) over its plans to produce a cheap, unexpurgated edition of D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover. How did the prosecution try to persuade the jury that the book was a menace to public morals? Who were the expert witnesses called in its defence? What were the decisive arguments? And why was the judge's summing-up such a mistake? Out tomorrow on PPF+: David discusses the book at the heart of the case. Was Lady Chatterley's Lover really all about sex? Or was it all about class? Or was it in fact about something else entirely?

AI is becoming ubiquitous in our lives. It shapes how we work, play, interact, create, and even manage our health—and this is only the beginning. To understand where we are and where we might go, we first need to understand how we got here. By tracing the evolving nature of machine intelligence, we can appreciate how today's AI differs from its past and how it is likely to evolve. With that in mind, we can begin to ask the big questions: When should we trust AI over human judgment? How should we govern its development? How will it change what it means to be human? And what roles will humans play in the future of work?To help us through this journey, I'm delighted to welcome back to TRIUM Connects Professor Vasant Dhar, the Robert A. Miller Professor at NYU's Stern School of Business and Professor of Data Science at NYU. Vasant is one of the world's leading thinkers on the impact of AI on society. He was present at the birth of AI and has been involved in every step of its evolution—both as an entrepreneur and as a scholar. He also hosts the acclaimed podcast Brave New World, which explores how machines are transforming humanity in the post-COVID era.In this episode, we discuss his newest book, Thinking With Machines: The Brave New World of AI. It's a remarkable hybrid: part autobiography, tracing how his professional life has intertwined with the development of AI; part user's guide, offering a lucid framework for deciding when to trust machines over human control; and part deep dive into the philosophical and policy implications of creating an alien intelligence.It was a real pleasure to welcome Vasant back onto the show. I learned a lot during our conversation, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.CitationsDawid A, LeCun Y.

In an extended version of the programme that was broadcast, Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the influential book John Maynard Keynes wrote in 1919 after he resigned in protest from his role at the Paris Peace Conference. There the victors of World War One were deciding the fate of the defeated, especially Germany and Austria-Hungary, and Keynes wanted the world to know his view that the economic consequences would be disastrous for all. Soon Germany used his book to support their claim that the Treaty was grossly unfair, a sentiment that fed into British appeasement in the 1930s and has since prompted debate over whether Keynes had only warned of disaster or somehow contributed to it.

From The Simpsons' Big Book of British Smiles to Austin Powers' ochre-tinged grin, American culture can't stop bad-mouthing English teeth. But why? Are they worse than any other nation's?

Melvyn Bragg and guests explore dragons, literally and symbolically potent creatures that have appeared in many different guises in countries and cultures around the world. Sometimes compared to snakes, alligators, lions and even dinosaurs, dragons have appeared on clay tablets in ancient Mesopotamia, in the Chinese zodiac, in the guise of the devil in Christian religious texts and in the national symbolism of the countries of England and Wales. They are often portrayed as terrifying but sometimes appear as sacred and even benign creatures, and they continue to populate our cultural fantasies through blockbuster films, TV series and children's books.
