Sales and Crabb go live in Wagga, a trip eagerly anticipated but tipped up by some typically Byzantine transport hiccups. Nevertheless, the pair manages to visit some dining establishments, buy a frock, leave Crabb's greasy nose-print on the window of a local design joint, and discuss cultural offerings ranging from true crime to Lena Dunham. Sound exhausting? Friend, they've barely started.

La entrevista es en Castellano. Mont Saint-Michel, un lugar impregnado de historia, ha estado habitado durante trece siglos. Esta "fantástica pirámide coronada por una catedral", bajo la protección del Arcángel Miguel, despierta la imaginación. Pero, ¿lo sabemos realmente todo sobre ella? Secretos y misterios rodean sus muros y la bahía... Arrojaremos luz sobre sus secretos con el investigador Bartolomé Bioque. Al igual que Chartres, Mont Saint-Michel ilustra a la perfección esta gran ley, bien conocida por todos los iniciados: la continuidad —cualesquiera que sean las oposiciones externas— entre dos grandes formas esotéricas superpuestas una sobre otra, obteniendo la nueva una predominancia natural en el plano religioso exotérico. Los parajes del Mont Saint-Michel y el islote vecino de Tombelaine ya eran lugares sagrados mucho antes del establecimiento del cristianismo en la Galia. Para la iniciación druídica, era sin duda uno de los lugares más venerados. Existe, por lo tanto, una completa continuidad entre las tradiciones celtas y cristianas. Bajo la cripta cristiana más antigua de la abadía se encuentra el santuario druídico, que permanece intacto hasta el día de hoy. Pero los celtas no crearon su esoterismo de la nada; aquí también surge la cuestión de una conexión con una tradición aún más antigua. En el siglo pasado, el Hiéron de Paray-le-Monial, una revista de iniciados católicos, se esforzó por demostrar el linaje tradicional e ininterrumpido que vincula el esoterismo cristiano con el druidismo y, más allá de este último, con la Atlántida, esa fuente primaria de las tradiciones occidentales. Cabe destacar que las autoridades religiosas emplearon un método indirecto, pero sumamente eficaz: la supresión sistemática (1); No se emitió ninguna condena explícita, lo que tiende a probar que este esoterismo estaba efectivamente vinculado al Círculo Interior de la Iglesia, al que sin duda pertenecían figuras como Charbonneau-Lassay; y cualesquiera que sean las acciones coercitivas que se puedan tomar contra las autoridades religiosas exotéricas, todavía existen límites que nunca se pueden traspasar. Todo el esoterismo tradicional, aunque sus defensores lo padezcan, permanece inexpugnable en sus principios, y con razón. Según una curiosa tradición, el santuario druídico subterráneo del Mont Saint-Michel se construyó alrededor de un manantial que, en realidad, provenía de un pozo artesiano. Se dice que el nivel freático de este pozo, que circulaba a gran profundidad, también se encontraba en otros lugares sagrados, algunos muy alejados de Occidente, como Lhasa, la capital del Tíbet. Aquí encontramos las nociones relacionadas con el inframundo y Agartha, que René Guénon ilustró en su obra "El Rey del Mundo", en la medida en que es posible hacerlo de forma accesible a la comprensión común. En cuanto a la figura del Arcángel San Miguel, hay mucho que decir sobre su significado esotérico. Por un lado, es un símbolo concreto de la victoria de las fuerzas de la luz sobre las fuerzas negativas; una victoria que, además, no podría consistir en la aniquilación de estas últimas (el Arcángel no mata al dragón, sino que lo somete), lo cual sería imposible, ya que las fuerzas de la involución desempeñan su papel necesario en el desarrollo de los ciclos cósmicos. Pero, por otro lado, San Miguel será también —este otro significado concreto derivado del primero— la entidad muy poderosa, especialmente protectora de los países de tradición celta, y de la Galia en particular. Según la tradición, existe una sociedad secreta extremadamente poderosa —prácticamente inexpugnable— que, a lo largo de los siglos, ha servido como puerta de entrada a una Sinarquía Blanca (en el sentido mágico de la palabra), asegurando la preservación de nuestro país, supremamente poderosa más allá de los cambios de régimen y a pesar de las más terribles convulsiones humanas. Se dice que esta sociedad, custodio de toda la herencia secreta tradicional celta y cristiana, fue, en particular, la fuerza impulsora de la misión de Juana de Arco. Y aquí, de nuevo, no se trata de la llamada «casualidad»: se dice que lleva, entre otros nombres significativos, el de la Orden de San Miguel, pues su patrón no es otro que el poderoso Protector celestial de la Galia. Se dice que uno de los dos tronos del soberano secreto —y jefe de la Orden— de Francia (2) está oculto en un templo subterráneo en el islote de Tombelaine, gemelo del Mont Saint-Michel. Cabe destacar que existe otro Mont Saint-Michel (Monte de San Miguel) en Penzance, al otro lado del Canal de la Mancha. Como por casualidad, también se encuentra en una antigua región celta: Cornualles, Inglaterra. El Arcángel San Miguel se revela claramente como una figura esencial del esoterismo cristiano vinculado al druidismo; los lugares puestos bajo su patrocinio directo son todos lugares mágicos y preservados, que escapan a la sumersión de las tierras. En efecto, la fundación de una abadía en este lugar no fue casual; ni ​​tampoco —como podría sugerir una interpretación errónea— un intento ingenuo de suprimir las raíces mismas de una tradición anterior. Si bien las formas religiosas exotéricas pueden cambiar o entrar en conflicto, el esoterismo en sí mismo permanece inmutable bajo sucesivas formulaciones históricas; la idea de querer suprimir un esoterismo anterior carecía por completo de significado profundo para los iniciados que, sin duda, eran los monjes que fundaron la abadía. ¿Y si los muros que rodean Mont-Saint-Michel ocultaran entre sus cimientos un santuario subterráneo secreto, excavado en tiempos de los druidas y custodiado desde entonces por sacerdotes dedicados a su protección? Dado que la abadía es famosa, tiene miles de años y, además, es tan sagrada para los católicos como lo fue su roca de granito para los celtas antes de la construcción de un oratorio en el año 709, la posibilidad resulta tentadora. Constituye el hilo conductor de * La promesa del ángel *, un thriller arqueológico escrito por el sociólogo de las religiones Frédéric Lenoir y la novelista Violette Cabesos. «Hay que cavar la tierra para llegar al cielo»: una exhortación particularmente extraña cuando la pronuncia un monje decapitado.Las excavaciones e investigaciones que se llevan a cabo en el yacimiento, que este año celebra el milenio de la construcción de su iglesia abacial, han propiciado nuevos descubrimientos sobre su historia. Sin embargo, aún quedan muchas preguntas por responder, en particular sobre sus orígenes. La línea sagrada de San Miguel Mont Saint-Michel forma parte de una fascinante alineación geográfica conocida como "la espada de San Miguel". Se dice que esta línea conecta siete importantes santuarios dedicados al Arcángel, desde Irlanda hasta Israel. Skellig Michael (Irlanda) Monte de San Miguel (Cornualles, Inglaterra) Mont Saint-Michel (Normandía, Francia) Sacra di San Michele (Val di Susa, Italia) Monte Sant'Angelo (Apulia, Italia) Panormitis (Isla Symi, Grecia) Stella Maris (Monte Carmelo, Israel) Investigadores como el físico Luca Amendola han destacado la extraordinaria precisión de esta alineación, con desviaciones de tan solo unas decenas de kilómetros en una longitud de más de 4.000 km. Según la leyenda cristiana, esta línea representa el golpe de espada de San Miguel para repeler el mal, trazando así una serie de lugares de protección. Históricamente, estos santuarios solían construirse en cimas de montañas o islas aisladas, propicias para la contemplación. En Italia, esta línea también se manifestó como una ruta de peregrinación histórica: el Camino de San Miguel. Un viaje espiritual y geográfico único, en el corazón de una tradición que une fe, misticismo e historia.

THIS WEEK ON THE NERDY VENOMS... Its the last show of Season 8! So lets talk about AI again for the one-gajillionth time. Also reviews of the hot sex superhero show we're all kinda tired of IRL and the news on this week's shockingly crystal clear Nerdy Venoms!

Tonight we examine a Kevin Kline Performance Trilogy—The Pirates of Penzance (1983), De-Lovely (2004), and A Prairie Home Companion (2006)—three films that showcase his command of musicality, wit, and character across eras. Pirates, adapted from the New York Shakespeare Festival production, was directed by Wilford Leach and preserves Gilbert & Sullivan's operetta for film, with Kline's Pirate King earning a Golden Globe nomination and cementing his theatrical pedigree. De-Lovely, directed by Irwin Winkler, casts Kline as Cole Porter in a stylized biopic featuring an ensemble of contemporary artists interpreting Porter's catalog, blending stage sensibility with cinematic structure. Finally, Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion captures Kline in a live-wire ensemble alongside Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin, merging radio nostalgia with Altman's signature overlapping dialogue. Together, these films chart Kline's enduring legacy as a performer who bridges stage and screen, high art and populist entertainment.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

fWotD Episode 3242: Arthur Sullivan Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 21 March 2026, is Arthur Sullivan.Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan (13 May 1842 – 22 November 1900) was an English composer. He is best known for 14 comic opera collaborations with the dramatist W. S. Gilbert, including H. M. S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado. His works include 24 operas, 11 major orchestral works, ten choral works and oratorios, two ballets, incidental music to several plays, and numerous church pieces, songs, and piano and chamber pieces. His hymns and songs include "Onward, Christian Soldiers" and "The Lost Chord".The son of a military bandmaster, Sullivan composed his first anthem at the age of eight and was later a soloist in the boys' choir of the Chapel Royal. In 1856, at 14, he was awarded the first Mendelssohn Scholarship by the Royal Academy of Music, which allowed him to study at the academy and then at the Leipzig Conservatoire in Germany. His graduation piece, incidental music to Shakespeare's The Tempest (1861), was received with acclaim on its first performance in London. Among his early major works were a ballet, L'Île Enchantée (1864), a symphony, a cello concerto (both 1866), and his Overture di Ballo (1870). To supplement the income from his concert works he wrote hymns, parlour ballads and other light pieces, and worked as a church organist and music teacher.In 1866 Sullivan composed a one-act comic opera, Cox and Box, which is still widely performed. He wrote his first opera with W. S. Gilbert, Thespis, in 1871. Four years later, the impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte engaged Gilbert and Sullivan to create a one-act piece, Trial by Jury (1875). Its box-office success led to a series of twelve full-length comic operas by the collaborators. After the extraordinary success of H. M. S. Pinafore (1878) and The Pirates of Penzance (1879), Carte used his profits from the partnership to build the Savoy Theatre in 1881, and their joint works became known as the Savoy operas. Among the best known of the later operas are The Mikado (1885) and The Gondoliers (1889). Gilbert broke from Sullivan and Carte in 1890, after a quarrel over expenses at the Savoy. They reunited in the 1890s for two more operas, but these did not achieve the popularity of their earlier works.Sullivan's infrequent serious pieces during the 1880s included two cantatas, The Martyr of Antioch (1880) and The Golden Legend (1886), his most popular choral work. He also wrote incidental music for West End productions of several Shakespeare plays, and held conducting and academic appointments. Sullivan's only grand opera, Ivanhoe, though initially successful in 1891, has rarely been revived. In his last decade Sullivan continued to compose comic operas with various librettists and wrote other major and minor works. He died at the age of 58, regarded as Britain's foremost composer. His comic opera style served as a model for generations of musical theatre composers that followed, and his music is still frequently performed, recorded and pastiched.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:50 UTC on Saturday, 21 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Arthur Sullivan on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ruth.

Are you the very model of a modern major general? Probably not, but guests are welcome to pretend for a moment when they go to see Tulsa Opera's production of The Pirates of Penzance at the University of Tulsa's Lorton Performance Center this Friday and Sunday. Sung in English with musical accompaniment from the Tulsa Opera Orchestra, this classic swashbuckling romance and slapstick comedy from Gilbert & Sullivan tells the story of a love-struck former pirate trying to evade his past. Jason Zacher, who portrays the Pirate King in Tulsa Opera's production, joins the show to talk about this can't miss show and how he gets into character as a bureaucratic buccaneer.  Also on this week's show, the editors discuss their favorite Mexican and Tex-Mex food options in the state, and podvents tells a tale as old as time. You won't want to miss it!

In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we're covering a mix of serious reform talk, strange police encounters, and some genuinely wild crime stories: Macky opens with a strong letter arguing why it's time to legalise cannabis in the UK, laying out the case for reform and why the current system continues to fail everyone involved. He then shares a bizarre BBC News story from Penzance, where a cannabis driver reportedly asked police officers for directions, one of those moments where reality feels like some people just dont think..... There's also a quick but worrying one, as gangs are now using drones to locate and steal cannabis farms, highlighting just how far organised crime is willing to go, and how growers are having to think defensively. Dr. Margaret covers an international smuggling case, with two men facing charges for allegedly recruiting women to traffic cannabis out of Canada. A grim reminder of how exploitation still plays a role in prohibition-driven markets. And John wraps things up with political progress in the US, as a Massachusetts bill to double the marijuana possession limit and revise the regulatory framework heads to a conference committee. A move that could bring meaningful change if it clears the final hurdles. Another packed episode full of reform debates, strange decisions, and stories that sound made up but very much aren't.

Epic landscapes deserve an equally epic way to travel. We're diving into the romance and reality of rail: why trains make holidays start at the platform, how sleepers turn miles into memories, and which routes around the world are worth planning your next adventure around.We start with five reasons trains win: lower emissions and real sustainability gains, genuine comfort with room to move, dining cars and proper beds on night services, centre-to-centre arrivals that beat transfers, and the human connection that long-haul flights often erase. From there, we share our top 10 rides: Norway's Flåm Railway twisting from fjord to mountain, Scotland's Highlander leg of the Caledonian Sleeper, the Night Riviera to Penzance with a seaside breakfast, Vietnam's Reunification Express and its restful private berths, and Japan's immaculate Shinkansen that makes precision feel effortless. Add New Zealand's TranzAlpine across the Southern Alps, Switzerland's UNESCO Bernina route, Sri Lanka's lush Ella to Kandy journey with open windows and waves, India's Nilgiri Mountain Railway “toy train,” and Amtrak's unhurried yet soulful Coast Starlight.We also open our notebook of dreams. The Ghan across Australia's red centre calls with big skies and outback tones. Canada's Rocky Mountaineer tempts us with glass-domed cars through the Rockies. And South Africa's Rovos Rail pairs classic carriages with sweeping views to Cape Town and beyond. Along the way we share booking tips, comfort hacks, and how to swap premium expresses for local trains without losing the scenery. If you're craving slow travel, rail itineraries, sleeper train advice, or scenic routes that deliver real immersion, this conversation is your map.Got a favourite rail journey we missed?

Pirates! The Penzance MusicalLibretto: W. S. GilbertMusic: Sir Arthur SullivanAdaptation: Rupert HolmesGilbert & Sullivan's pirate ship docks in New Orleans in this jazzy-bluesy vision of the crowd-pleasing classic, in an outrageously clever romp sizzling with Caribbean rhythms and French Quarter flair. With the tongue-twisting Major-General, the rabble-rousing Pirate King, newly-imagined young lovers, daring daughters, footloose pirates and fleet-footed police, there's a shipload of musical comedy delights on board to dazzle first-timers and G&S aficionados alike.

12-2-25 Tonight we're talking with Matt and Lauren Bloom, owners and meadmakers at Bløm Mead and Cider in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. Bløm Meadworks (pronounced “bloom”), makes modern ciders and session meads – they're light, dry, carbonated, and remarkably sessionable. For their meads, they start with the same ingredients as a traditional mead - honey, water and yeast - which means they can source all of our ingredients from Michigan. They ferment it like a dry craft cider, so the result isn't nearly as thick or sweet as traditional mead. So, if the word “mead” automatically conjures a drinking hall filled with Vikings for you, think of theirs as its friendly, approachable descendants, without the pillage and plunder. After years in the nonprofit sector, Lauren realized that what had become her hobby and outside-of-work stress reliever was actually the thing that she cared about most – food. And more specifically, local food production. Soon after, she joined the board of Slow Food Chicago, an organization that advocates for the value and pleasure of good food for all. A few years later, Lauren and Matt moved to Ann Arbor, looking to put down roots in their home state and open Bløm - a business that would allow them to create sessionable brews and highlight some of the mouth-watering ingredients grown in Michigan. Matt started his professional life as a financial geek. Turned out it was far more exciting to apply those geeky skills to brewing chemistry than options software. He kicked off this new career as a home brewer in Chicago and was lucky enough to have two friends who were passionate enough to start a brewery with him. While owner and head brewer for Begyle Brewing, Matt sadly learned that he was among the unfortunate crew that can't process gluten - his love affair with beer had come to an abrupt end. Hooked on the creative fermentation process, and always intrigued by the quirky possibilities for mead and cider, Matt found Bløm to be the perfect love child of what he enjoys making and drinking.

Retitled Pirates!, the reimaged production, which played last year on Broadway, has the setting now in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The show infuses the score with jazz, Caribbean, and blues influences.

He began his professional career in daytime television with a role created for him on As the World Turns, which launched a successful seven-year run of memorable performances in Another World, Somerset, and his personal favorite, The Secret Storm. The impact these roles played on his later career cannot be underestimated. According to Sandy, “The pressure of performing in front of a live audience or live tape made everything else a little easier. Ït was 40 or 50 million people RIGHT NOW!  You were not allowed to make a mistake. Nothing else could be more terrifying.”Best known for his unforgettable portrayal of Andy Travis, America's favorite Program Director, in the classic sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. Gary brought life to the role of a young leader navigating the unpredictable world of a struggling radio station with charm, wit, and authenticity. His natural charisma and comedic instincts helped make WKRP a cultural touchstone and a beloved part of American television history.Beyond WKRP, Gary received acclaim for his role in Norman Lear's All That Glitters and made memorable guest appearances on many hit shows, including Murder, She Wrote, F.B.I: The Untold Story, The Young Riders, L.A. Law, and Diagnosis Murder. His television film credits include Melvin Purvis: The Kansas City Massacre, Shell Game, For Lovers Only, and Nashville Grab.On the big screen, Gary's range shone through in films such as Hail to the Chief, Some of My Best Friends Are, Troll, and The Last of the Cowboys, where he starred alongside the legendary Henry Fonda.

His stage credits also include standout performances in Barnum, Sweet Bird of Youth, The Foreigner, and A Streetcar Named Desire.His musical theater work has been equally impressive, with standout roles as Billy Flynn in Chicago, Albert Peterson in Bye Bye Birdie, and Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd opposite Ann-Margret in the national tour of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Gary's performance as Harold Hill in The Music Man has become a signature role, earning praise in seven different productions.Gary's Off-Broadway and regional theater work includes The Children's Mass (produced by Sal Mineo), and innovative adaptations such as Sheba (based on Come Back, Little Sheba), Luv, and Windy City (a musical version of The Front Page). In recent years, he's received acclaim for his work in live radio drama, bringing a fresh energy to a classic medium.From his unforgettable turn as Andy Travis on WKRP in Cincinnati to his commanding stage presence in theaters across the country, Gary Sandy's body of work reflects a lifetime devoted to storytelling, craft, and connection with audiences.ABOUT THE PODCAST: Chachi Loves Everybody is brought to you by Benztown and hosted by the President of Benztown, Dave “Chachi” Denes.

This is both a parody and a cover song! The original parody is by our beloved Filker King, Tom Smith. Go to Tom Smith's bandcamp page to listen to the orig... er, the parody. In the process of getting ready to participate the Filker Song Swap "Cover to Cover: volume 3" various artists albums (organized by fellow Fump artist Madison Metricula Roberts), the randomizer happened to choose that I should cover a song by fellow Fump artist Tom Smith. I was given a choice of 2 songs, but of course I picked the one that is a parody of a song from my favorite musical, "The Pirates of Penzance" by Gilbert and Sullivan (the original song being officially entitled "Oh Better Far to Live and Die" but probably better known as "Pirate King"). Anyway, you should really look up the Filker Song Swap albums as well! They're on Bandcamp and several other locations. And then I asked Luke Ski for help getting a group of people together to do backing vocals, but he did such a good job on them by himself that I no longer felt an entire group was needed! And in case you somehow didn't figure this out, the subject matter of the song is Jack Skellington, the lead character of the 1993 Tim Burton stop-motion Halloween film "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Instrumental (real accordion and a Suzuki Andes 25F recorder keyboard!!), mixing and mastering by the wonderful Joe Jakubowski. Lyrics by Tom Smith. Lead vocals by Carrie Dahlby. Backing vocals and "gobble gobble" sound effect by Luke Ski.

BethAnn Freed Cohen joins Scene to Song to discuss parody in musical theater. We discuss “what exactly is a parody?” and what it means in musicals. We dig into what elements make a good parody, using examples such as Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance and the episode “Original Cast Album: Co-op” from the show Documentary Now! As BethAnn notes, ” there are musicals that are funny but are not parodies and there are musicals that copy styles but are not funny.” We also talk about the Stephen Sondheim and Mary Rodgers song “The Boy From…” from 1966 revue The Mad Show.

Ahoy, GenXers! This week we're revisiting one of the cheesiest, campiest, and most gloriously over-the-top cult classics of the '80s — The Pirate Movie! Originally released on August 6, 1982, this wild ride mashes up The Pirates of Penzance with slapstick humor, ridiculous musical numbers, and more innuendos than we realized as kids. Del Roehling and I (Paul Stroessner) first covered this back on January 21, 2022, and it quickly became one of the most popular Return to the '80s episodes. With Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins leading the charge, The Pirate Movie is part musical, part parody, and pure early-'80s cheese. Does it hold up today? Honestly… we seriously doubt it

When Nick Coffer's marriage fell apart, the breakup was a battlefield. Embroiled in high conflict, overwhelming stress, and crushing legal fees, he had to redefine his role as a father while struggling to maintain his cheeriness as a BBC broadcaster. But from the chaos, Nick forged a new path: re-training as a family mediator. Determined to rescue others from his mistakes, he now shatters stalemates between hostile exes, keeping conversations constructive and focussed on the only people who matter: the divorcing couple's children. In this chat with Olly, Nick shares the game-changing apps that transform toxic communication; reveals how he fell into the trap of becoming a ‘McDonald's Dad'; and explains why mediation can be useful even before you tell your kids you intend to split up…  Nick's mediation services can be found at wayforwardmediation.co.uk The Family Mediators Association is at TheFMA.co.uk —----------------- Meanwhile, in The Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart investigates the trend for sleeper trains - by taking Olly and Alix for a ride on GWR's ‘Night Riviera' from London Paddington to Penzance, Cornwall. What are his top tips to ensure you get a good night's kip? Is the rise in overnight train travel because locomotives are so good - or aeroplanes are so insufferable? And how does one store excess luggage when arriving in a place with no car?  Ollie has the answers - though they become increasingly less intelligible after a night in the on-board bar… The team travelled as the guests of GWR. Book tickets direct at gwr.com —----------------- Elsewhere, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox - fresh from experiencing her first-ever dip in a geothermal pool - tackles a listener's concerns about getting jiggy under canvas.
