Send us a textWe have travelled back in time to the medieval period to share a story with William Marshall and his crew. As you probably know, William Marshal was known to be the greatest knight ever to live, and we can tell you why. He was a Werewolf. Yes, Fenrir, our wolf soul, has been in a number of humans' lives, and one of them and one of the most famous ones was the Marshal of England. So come and join the gang—William, Percy, Lord of Northumberland, and Gervais de Montagne in their next adventure. The last time we met them, they had just killed a dragon, and as a side note, they had also killed the Count de Perigord and his daughter after the man had lied to them. This time, the new Count de Perigord, direct descendant of Charlemagne, is trying to exact his revenge. I besiege you to listen.

Send us a textJoining me on today's episode of The English Wine Diaries is Sibylla Tindale, co-founder of High Clandon Estate in the heart of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sibylla and her husband, Bruce, founded the boutique vineyard, which sits on a chalky-limestone hill, 20 years ago with the aim of producing only aged vintage sparkling wine to rival – and even surpass – the best that France can offer. Each year the Tindales, who are originally from South Africa, celebrate the launch of their exquisite Cuvées with their flagship event: Art & Sculptures in the Vineyard ­– a summer exhibition of pieces dotted amongst their beautiful gardens, wildflower meadows, vineyard and atmospheric Glass Barn.  But as well as being renowned for its English Sparkling Wine, High Clandon has another claim to its name – recently, the trained noses of the Tindale's cocker spaniels Persephone and Juno, have snuffled out black Perigord truffles on the estate – the first find in the south of England and thought to be the second such in England as a whole, the other being at the late Duke of Edinburgh's estate at Sandringham in 2018. Find out more about their adventures at highclandon.co.uk or by following @highclandon on Instagram. With thanks to our series sponsor, Wickhams, The Great British Wine Merchant.

Odwiedziliśmy Perigord z Lascaux zwanym „Kaplicą Sykstyńską” prehistorii, okazałymi romańskimi zamkami będącymi świadkami wojny stuletniej i wieloma miejscowościami, które otrzymały oznaczenie najpiękniejszych we Francji.Na targu w średniowiecznym mieście Sarlat-la-Caneda szukaliśmy lokalnych przysmaków: foie gras i trufli należących do najlepszych na świecie.Mówi się, że kemping na terenie Masywu Centralnego z Owernią, krainą wygasłych wulkanów jest najlepszym sposobem na eksplorowanie prowincjonalnej Francji. Poznaliśmy tę krainę, a w Oksytanii odwiedziliśmy Albi ze znakomicie zachowaną średniowieczną architekturą oraz opactwo Moissac z najstarszym klasztorem na świecie, arcydzieło architektury romańskiej.Na koniec zajrzymy do Lyonu leżącego w dolinie rozdzielającej Masyw Centralny i Alpy.Gościem Jerzego Jopa była Grażyna Woźniczka, współtwórczyni i współwłaścicielka Polka Travel, kulturoznawca, latynoamerykanistka i filolog.

Tous les matins à 7h50 sur Chérie FM, Dimitri pose 3 questions sur l'actualité insolite ou légère des dernières 24 heures !

Nous sommes le 11 février 1860, non loin de Château-L'Evêque, dans le Perigord. C'est là que naît Marie-Marguerite Eymery, celle qui, plus tard, va défrayer la chronique sous le nom de Rachilde, homme de lettres. C'est au Cros qu'elle vit ses premiers jours. Cros, en patois, signifie trou. Dans la préface d'un texte intitulé « A mort », Rachilde raconte son environnement. Elle écrit : « Ce Cros était une propriété humide autour de laquelle poussait trop de pervenche, trop de lierre, trop de vigne vierge, trop de saules et trop de truffes. Devant la maison, des grenouilles dans un étang ; derrière, des fermes remplies de petits enfants peu légitimes, malpropres. (…) Les citadins sont tous de jolie noblesse ; en Périgord on a les de Senzillon, les de Rouffignac, les d'Abzac de Ladouze, les de Malé, les de Bastard ; le bonapartisme est grandement représenté ainsi que le royalisme, sans oublier le cléricalisme le plus sincère avec un ou deux échantillons de socialisme de mauvais goût. Il en résulte qu'on ne se salue guère dans les rues du chef-lieu ; les préfets sont l'objet de haines éperdues, on jette souvent de la boue aux voitures de maître qui descendent des châteaux voisins, et les dévotes font mourir de chagrin les pauvres filles de joie des bas quartiers. (…) toujours la truffe, fruit malsain mûri dans les ténèbres et qui lutte sournoisement contre les estomacs solides, contre les esprits sains ! Moi je déteste les truffes, je n'aime pas le porc, je n'aime pas les paysans, je n'aime pas les bonapartistes ni les royalistes, ni les socialistes, ni les dévotes, ni les préfets, — À part ces différentes choses, l'air pur me va et j'admets la fille de joie. » Partons sur les traces de mademoiselle Rachilde, homme de lettres… Avec nous : Michael Rosenfeld est chercheur postdoctoral de la Research Foundation – Flanders au sein de la Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

Bienvenue dans ce nouvel épisode enregistré en Dordogne dans le Périgord, avec Emilie qui a quitté Paris et a ouvert une maison d'hôtes que vous connaissez peut-être : Maison Bel Estiu. Un endroit tout simplement magique, je garde un souvenir ému de ma visite là-bas, il faut vraiment y aller pour comprendre l'émotion que procure ce lieu tellement beau et charmant, et pour s'imprégner de son histoire que l'on devine en regardant chacun des bâtiments.Emilie m'a raconté leur coup de coeur pour le Périgord, leur rencontre inattendue avec cette maison, et on a parlé de toitures typiques en lauze, de ferme du 18ème abandonnée, de l'importance de trouver le bon maître d'oeuvre pour son projet de rénovation, de chez-soi émotionnel, mais aussi de poncer 200m2 de placo au papier de verre, de sabler et peindre d'anciennes poutres en bois, de ce qu'elle a le mieux réussi et de ce qu'elle referait différemment, du jour épique de leur emménagement, et de sa découverte de l'univers des travaux et de la vie de chantier.Elle partage aussi avec vous ses bons contacts d'artisans dans le Périgord, ses bonnes adresses fournisseurs de matériaux, et surtout la référence du fameux vert-gris de ses volets, que vous êtes apparemment très nombreux à lui demander

En el Perigord Negro en caravana os hablo sobre nuestro viaje en el 2015 a esta zona. Un lugar al que le tenemos mucho cariño porque fue uno de nuestros primeros viajes con nuestra primera caravana , una Moncayo del año 1992. Aparte esta zona es increíble por todos los pueblos medievales, castillos, jardines, y sobre todo el rio Dordoña, un impresionante rio donde te puedes bañar, pescar, y sobre todo disfrutar de esos momentos que todos recordamos en el rio aquel. Hay mucha información sobre la zona y pueblos que visitar. Pero como siempre lo hago a mi manera.

Today on Crushing Classical, you'll hear my interview with Ariel Grossman, Founder & Artistic Director of Ariel Rivka Dance. I've never talked with a choreographer before and I just loved finding all of the parallels between our worlds.  This episode is brought to you today by Happiest Musician Coaching. You are amazing, and I believe in you. What are you trying to create?  What do you need your career to be and do for you? What are you not seeing that you need to do and work on?  I love these conversations and supporting musicians like you. For a limited time, I'm offering a free 30-minute call to get you some clarity around your next steps, and see how I might help you get unstuck!  Ariel Rebecca (Rivka) Grossman is a native New Yorker, who trained at LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and the Performing Arts and Joffrey Ballet School. In 2008, she founded an all-female contemporary company, Ariel Rivka Dance. Most recently, Ariel received a 2023 Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. Ariel's work has been presented worldwide, including BAM Fisher, NJPAC, Bryant Park, NYLA, Baruch Performing Arts Center, Martha Graham Studio Theater, NYU Tisch, Rutgers University, Roxbury Performing Arts Center, and in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Houston, Cleveland, Florida, Oklahoma, Detroit, Memphis, Istanbul, Turkey, and in 2023, Perigord, France and Bari, Italy. She has been commissioned by Dance Lab NY, Konverjdans, Ballet Vero Beach, and Skidmore College. Collaborations include Rioult Dance NY, Taylor 2, Heidi Latsky, Carolyn Dorfman Dance Company, and Sean Curran. Ariel is a past recipient of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (New) Moves Fellowship, Monira Performance Residency, and a Nimbus Arts Center artist residency. ARD is an awardee of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, The Charles & Joan Gross Family Foundation, the O'Donnell-Green Music & Dance Foundation, Jersey City Council of the Arts, and New Jersey State Council on the Arts and more. Ariel draws inspiration from the struggles and joys of the human experience, particularly through being a woman and mother of two. Through collaboration, Ariel encourages her artists to bring themselves to the work—molding pieces that are striking, evocative, and multi-layered. This conversation was fascinating. Firstly, because I loved hearing Ariel talk about her art in a way that was both brand new to me and also completely relatable. The connections are so clear and it's amazing to think about movement, interpretation, and leadership in a totally different field than my own.  Secondly, because I loved hearing her take real ownership of her own strengths - I don't hear this nearly often enough from people, even the amazingly accomplished people I'm interviewing right here, and ESPECIALLY from working musicians.  I know you will love this interview. If you are in NYC, catch Ariel Rivka Dance's 15th Annual Season presented by NYU Tisch at the Jack Crystal Theater on May 31st-June 2nd, and a special family matinee co-presented by 14Y Theater on June 3rd.  Here's a teaser for her upcoming collaboration, Never Fade Away Follow Ariel Rivka Dance on Instagram at @arielrivkadance or @arielgrossman; or on Facebook Thanks for joining me on Crushing Classical!  Theme music and audio editing by DreamVance.

Ep. 157 Man Eaters   Tonight we're gonna talk about something everyone loves, something everyone needs, and something both Moody and myself know quite a bit about…that's right platonic love between two males…wait, wrong podcast… actually it's ……FOOOOOOOD!!   I know what you're thinking… "Jon, how is that creepy?" Well let me tell you how  it is creepy, it's creepy when humans are on the menu. Today we are talking about man eaters. And no.. Not the Hall and Oates classic. We're talking about animals who put humans on the menu!   Throughout time humans have come to be thought of as the top of the food chain. For the most part we are because we have no real natural predators aside from ourselves. But this can change when humans encroach on an animal's territory. There are several reasons animals can attack humans. Not all attacks turn into man eating scenarios but it is important to understand why animals attack.   Perceived Threat or Fear Most animals face the threat of predation. To avoid the risk of being injured or killed, animals employ tactics to fool predators – in some cases that's us, the humans. In the event those strategies fail, their ‘killing' instinct kicks in and launches attacks.   Cape Buffaloes (aka Black Death) is the best example. Cape Buffalo is most aggressive when it has been wounded, or if they detect a threat to the young ones in the herd. Lions could attack humans out of fear to defend themselves when they are approached at close range.   For Food When a carnivorous animal attacks a human, wildlife experts often point to the absence of wild prey species. According to a study in the journal Human-Wildlife Interactions, researchers at the Berryman Institute of Utah State University analyzed leopard attacks in and around Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary in India. They concluded that leopards had been forced to kill livestock due to the low population of their natural prey. In certain cases, leopards also become man-eaters.   Self-Preservation Sometimes animals attack humans because they have to, or they are forced to. Since the beginning of time, humans have attacked wild animals, caged, or killed them. This left animals with a deep-seated fear of humans, and an increased urge to attack if they feel stressed, anxious, or frightened by our mere presence.   Protect Their Young Animals are super protective of their young. The animal kingdom has the most devoted dads like lions, Arctic wolves, gorillas, and golden jackals and moms like elephants who will stop at nothing to rescue their young ones from harm. And that includes driving away or killing humans.   New Territories Due to the population explosion, the world needs to build billions of new homes every year. With increased household demands, it's inevitable that the human race will continue moving into new places. As we do, we become instrumental in deforestation and threaten wildlife. The result – wild animals hunting people who threaten their home.   A good example is hippos. They kill more people than any other animal. Most of the hippo attacks are out of fear of losing their territory. The chances of deliberate attacks are high especially when humans get between hippos when they are in the shallows, cut off from the safety of deep water.   Humans Don't Usually Put up a Good Fight Over the years, we humans have effectively removed ourselves from the food chain. This is good in one way because we don't have to go on hunting parties to get food or fight for territories and survival with other animal species as wildlife.   But the downside is that it makes humans easy prey. We're so unused to being hunted that when things go south, we panic instead of fleeing or fighting and end-up being the prey.   Mistaken Identity One of the most common reasons behind shark attacks. They often think we're food because they can't really see us very well and differentiate from their natural prey. Surfers are more likely to be in danger zone because the surfboard makes them look like a seal, which is the favorite meal of many shark species.   Human Ignorance In most cases, humans get attacked for their own fault. Seeing wildlife up close and taking pictures are fascinating. But there's a huge difference between keeping a safe distance and approaching them closer for a selfie or video. Unfortunately, many people venturing out for wildlife holidays don't know that. They simply invade animals' homes and space and get attacked in return. So those are the main reasons for animal attacks in general…you know…so mostly just fucking leave wild animals alone. Or learn how to fight a bear or wolf or something!   So while most attacks don't involve humans being eaten there are many interesting cases of man eaters out there throughout history. The ones that don't involve eating people…. Well we don't care about those…we are here for the gruesome, gory, man eating details!   There are many different types of animals that have been reported as man eaters. We are going to go through some of those and some of the cases involving those animals!   First up we're gonna look at the big cats! Lions and tigers and leopards and jaguars and cougars…oh my! All have been reported at times to be man eaters.    Tiger attacks are an extreme form of human–wildlife conflict which occur for various reasons and have claimed more human lives than attacks by any of the other big cats. The most comprehensive study of deaths due to tiger attacks estimates that at least 373,000 people died due to tiger attacks between 1800 and 2009 averaging about 1800 kills per year, the majority of these attacks occurring in India, Nepal and Southeast Asia.      For tigers, most commonly they will become man eaters when they are injured or incapacitated making their normal prey to hard to catch.   Man-eating tigers have been a recurrent problem in India, especially in Kumaon, Garhwal and the Sundarbans mangrove swamps of Bengal. There, some healthy tigers have been known to hunt humans. However, there have been mentions of man eaters in old Indian literature, so it appears that after the British occupied India and built roads into forests and brought the tradition of 'shikaar', man eaters became a nightmare come alive. Even though tigers usually avoid elephants, they have been known to jump on an elephant's back and severely injure the “mahout” riding on the elephant's back. A mahout is an elephant rider, trainer, or keeper. Mahouts were used since antiquity for both civilian and military use. Kesri Singh mentioned a case when a fatally wounded tiger attacked and killed the hunter who wounded it while the hunter was on the back of an elephant. Most man-eating tigers are eventually captured, shot or poisoned.   During war, tigers may acquire a taste for human flesh from the consumption of corpses which were just laying around, unburied, and go on to attack soldiers; this happened during the Vietnam and Second World Wars.   There are some pretty well known tigers that were man eaters.    The Champawat Tiger was originally from Nepal where it had managed to kill approximately 200 people starting in 1903 before the Napalese drove her out (without killing her) to the Kumaon region of India in the early 20th century. After the tiger's arrival, she managed to kill another 234 before an exasperated government called in Jim Corbett.   Edward James Corbett was born on July 25, 1875, the son of British colonists in India. He had become a colonel in the British Indian army. Being raised in the valley of Nainital and Kaladhungi region full of natural wonder, he grew up appreciative of wildlife and the need to conserve it. As was typical of early naturalists, he took to hunting and viewed the conservation of wildlife as being more to preserve stock for hunters rather than the preservation of the ecology per se. His skill as a hunter was well-known although this would be the first time he would attempt to take a reputed “man-eater.”   The attacks began in the Himalayas of western Nepal in a Rupal village. Despite the stealth of the massive cat, she left a trail of blood that set hunters headlong in pursuit. Yet, the tiger evaded capture and death. Despite the failed first efforts of hunters, the Nepalese Army knew something had to be done. So, they organized a massive patrol, forcing the tiger to abandon her territory. Unfortunately, danger relocated with her.   Driven over the river Sarda and the border into India, the move did little to slow her thirst for human flesh. In the Kumaon District, she preyed on countless unprepared villagers. The tigress adjusted her hunting strategy to optimize success while diminishing the risk of containment. By some accounts, she traveled upwards of 20 miles (32 km) per day to make a kill and then avoid capture.   She targeted young women and children. They were the ones who most often wandered into the forest to collect firewood, food for livestock, and materials for handicrafts. She only killed during daylight, typical behavior for man-eating tigers. As word got out about the Chapawat tiger's vicious attacks, daily life drew to a standstill. Hearing the Bengal tigress's roars from the forest, men refused to leave their huts for work.   Just two days before he brought down the “Tiger Queen,” Corbett tracked the beast by following the blood trail of her latest victim. Premka Devi, a 16-year-old girl from the village of Fungar near the city of Champawat. She had disappeared, and villagers and Corbett quickly guessed the girl's fate.   After locating Premka's remains and confirming her violent death by the tigress, he nearly got ambushed by the big cat herself. Only two hastily fired shots from his rifle managed to scare the cat away. Only then did he recognize the real danger associated with hunting a man-eater. The Bengal tiger felt no fear of humans.   The next day, with the help of Chapawat's tahsildar, Corbett organized a patrol of 300 villagers. Around noon, he finally had the murderer in his sights and made the kill. Life could return to normal. Because of the legacy he gained by saving the residents of Chapawat and its surrounding villages from the big cat, he went on to pursue and kill about a dozen more well-documented man-eaters.   When the tiger was finally brought down it was noted that both the top and bottom canines on her right side were broken, the top one on half, and the bottom one broken to the jaw bone. The thought is that this is the thing that caused her to turn into a man eater. She couldn't kill and eat her normal prey, so she went after easier prey in humans. Pussy ass humans.   Her final body count is recorded at around 436 people…holy shit!   Tiger of Segur The Tiger of Segur was a young man-eating male Bengal tiger. Though originating in the District of Malabar-Wynaad below the south-western face of the Blue Mountains, the tiger would later shift its hunting grounds to Gudalur and between Segur and Anaikutty. It was killed by Kenneth Anderson, who would later note that the tiger had a disability preventing it from hunting its natural prey. His body count was 5.   The Tigers of Chowgarh were a pair of man-eating Bengal tigers, consisting of an old tigress and her sub-adult cub, which for over a five-year period killed a reported 64 people in eastern Kumaon over an area spanning 1,500 square miles (3,900 km2). The tigress was attacking humans initially alone, but later she was assisted by her sub-adult cub. The figures however are uncertain, as the natives of the areas the tigers frequented claimed double that number, and they do not take into account victims who survived direct attacks but died subsequently. Both tigers were killed by.... Good ol Jim Corbett.   Most recently, the Tigers of Bardia, In 2021, four tigers killed ten people and injured several others in Bardia National Park of Nepal. Three of the tigers were captured and transferred to rescue centers. One of the tigers escaped from its cage and is yet to be captured.   The tigers were identified and captured from Gaida Machan on 4 April, from Khata on 18 March and from Geruwa on 17 March. The tigers were found with broken canine teeth, possibly due to fighting between two males. After the capture, one of the tigers escaped from the iron cage and went back to the forest in the Banke district. Two were housed at the rescue facility in Bardia National Park in Thakurdwara and Rambapur. One was transferred to the Central Zoo in Jawalakhel, Kathmandu. How about lions…y'all like lions…maybe not after hearing some of this shit.   Man-eating lions have been recorded to actively enter human villages at night as well as during the day to acquire prey. This greater assertiveness usually makes man-eating lions easier to dispatch than tigers. Lions typically become man-eaters for the same reasons as tigers: starvation, old age and illness, though as with tigers, some man-eaters were reportedly in perfect health.   The most famous man eating lions would probably be the Tsavo man eaters. The story of the Tsavo lions begins in March 1898, when a team of Indian workers led by British Lt. Col. John Henry Patterson arrived in Kenya to build a bridge over the Tsavo River, as part of the Kenya-Uganda Railway project. The project, it seems, was doomed from the start. As Bruce Patterson (no relation) writes in his book "The Lions of Tsavo," "Few of the men at the railhead knew that the name itself was a warning. Tsavo means 'place of slaughter'" in the local language. That actually referred to killings by the Maasai people, who attacked weaker tribes and took no prisoners, but it was still a bad omen.   Lt. Col. Patterson and company had only just arrived when they noticed that one of their men, a porter, had gone missing. A search quickly uncovered his mutilated body. Patterson, fearing that a lion had killed his employee, set out the next day to find the beast. Instead he stumbled upon other corpses, all men who had disappeared from previous expeditions.   Almost immediately, a second of Patterson's men disappeared. By April, the count had grown to 17. And this was just the beginning. The killings continued for months as the lions circumvented every fence, barrier and trap erected to keep them out. Hundreds of workers fled the site, putting a stop to bridge construction. Those who remained lived in fear of the night.   The violence didn't end until December, when Patterson finally stalked and killed the two lions that he blamed for the killings. It wasn't an easy hunt. The first lion fell on Dec. 9, but it took Patterson nearly three more weeks to deal with the second. By then, Patterson claimed, the lions had killed a total of 135 people from his crew. (The Ugandan Railway Company downplayed the claim, putting the death toll at just 28.)   But that wasn't the end of the story. Bruce Patterson, a Field Museum zoologist and curator, spent years studying the lions, as did others. Chemical tests of their hair keratin and bone collagen confirmed that they had eaten human flesh in the few months before they were shot. But the tests revealed something else: one of the lions had eaten 11 people. The other had eaten 24. That put the total at just 35 deaths, far lower than the 135 claimed by Lt. Col. Patterson.   I mean…35…135…still fucking crazy   Lions' proclivity for man-eating has been systematically examined. American and Tanzanian scientists report that man-eating behavior in rural areas of Tanzania increased greatly from 1990 to 2005. At least 563 villagers were attacked and many eaten over this period. The incidents occurred near Selous National Park in Rufiji District and in Lindi Province near the Mozambican border. While the expansion of villages into bush country is one concern, the authors argue conservation policy must mitigate the danger because in this case, conservation contributes directly to human deaths. Cases in Lindi in which lions seize humans from the centers of substantial villages have been documented. Another study of 1,000 people attacked by lions in southern Tanzania between 1988 and 2009 found that the weeks following the full moon, when there was less moonlight, were a strong indicator of increased night-time attacks on people.   The leopard is largely a nocturnal hunter. For its size, it is the most powerful large felid after the jaguar, able to drag a carcass larger than itself up a tree.  Leopards can run more than 60 kilometres per hour (37 mph), leap more than 6 metres (20 ft) horizontally and 3 metres (9.8 ft) vertically, and have a more developed sense of smell than tigers. They are strong climbers and can descend down a tree headfirst. Man-eating leopards have earned a reputation as being particularly bold and difficult to track.   The Leopard of ​Panar killed over 400 people during the early 20th century, and is one of the most prolific man-eaters in recorded history, second only to the Great Champawat Tigress who lived at the same time.    The Panar Man-eater was a male Leopard that lived in Northern India. The big cat first began to consume human flesh from the numerous diseased corpses that littered the jungle, as a result of a Cholera plague. When the Cholera pandemic ended, and the corpses ceased, he began to hunt humans. Of this Jim Corbett (this guy again) wrote:    "A leopard, in an area in which his natural food is scarce, finding these bodies very soon acquires a taste for human flesh, and when the disease dies down and normal conditions are established, he very naturally, on finding his food supply cut off, takes to killing human beings"   ​For many years the villagers attempted to hunt and trap the demon cat, to no avail. Panars man-eating Leopard could recognize the traps and was a master of camouflage and evasion. He was rarely seen until the moment he struck, sometimes even taking people right from inside their homes, in front of their families.   After trekking through hills, crossing a flooded river with no bridges, and sleeping on open ground in the heart of the Leopards territory Corbett reached the village. The most recent attacks had occurred here, four men had just been killed.     ​Corbett staked out two goats to lure the Panar Leopard and laid in wait. The great cat took the first goat and vanished. Then three days later Corbett had the second goat tied about 30 yards from a tree and he laid in wait, all day, and then into the night. The Leopard finally came, he could only make out the sounds of the Leopard killing his prey and a faint white blur of the goats fur. By hearing alone he fired his shotgun and wounded the great cat,  but again it escaped.   Corbett then lined his men up behind him with torches. He made them each promise not to run, so he would have enough torch light to target the wounded cat. They then walked out across the field toward the brush at the far side.  There, suddenly the legendary man-eater lunged from the brush, and charged the legendary hunter. All of the men turned and ran instantly, though luckily one dropped his torch in flight giving Corbett just enough light to shoot the Leopard in the chest, ending its reign of terror. Corbett was simply a fucking bad ass. Period. In a world full of scared villagers, be a Corbett.   Ok so we've talked about cats…how about dogs.    Wolves are generally not known to be man eaters. Contrasted to other carnivorous mammals known to attack humans for food, the frequency with which wolves have been recorded to kill people is rather low, indicating that, though potentially dangerous, wolves are among the least threatening for their size and predatory potential. In the rare cases in which man-eating wolf attacks occur, the majority of victims are children. We did find a couple accounts of man eating wolves though.    Wolf of Gysinge (Hello, Sweden) A historical account of the attacks says that the wolf involved in the attacks was captured as a wolf pup and kept as a pet for several years starting in 1817. While that may seem like the beginning of a sweet made-for-TV movie, it was almost certainly a deadly mistake. When wolves are kept as pets, the animals lose their instinctual fear of humans.   the Wolf of Gysinge became tired of being cooped up and broke out. We don't know how long it took for the Wolf of Gysinge to start hunting humans, but we know that it became the world's deadliest wolf.   The Wolf of Gysinge was responsible for 31 attacks against human beings. The wolf killed 12 people and injured 19 others. Most of the victims were under the age of 12. One 19-year-old woman was killed, and one 18-year-old man was injured during the attacks.   Most of the 12 humans killed during this attack were at least partially eaten by the wolf by the time they were discovered.   The attacks occurred between December 30, 1820, and March 27, 1821. That averages out to one attack every 3 days over 3 months.   The Wolves of Ashta were a pack of 6 man-eating Indian wolves which between the last quarter of 1985 to January 1986, killed 17 children in Ashta, Madhya Pradesh, a town in the Sehore district. The pack consisted of two adult males, one adult female, one subadult female and two pups. Initially thought to be a lone animal, the fear caused by the wolves had serious repercussions on the life of the villagers within their hunting range. Farmers became too frightened to leave their huts, leaving crops out of cultivation, and several parents prohibited their children from attending school, for fear that the man-eaters would catch them on the way. So great was their fear, that some village elders doubted the man-eaters were truly wolves at all, but Shaitans, which of you are truly a fan of the show, you'll remember us talking about shaitan in the djinn episode, episode 118 from back in August of 2021 . With the exception of the pups, which were adopted by Pardhi tribesmen, all of the wolves were killed by hunters and forest officials.   The wolves of Perigord were a pack of man-eating wolves that attacked the citizens of the northwestern area of Perigord.  The incident was recorded in February of 1766.  Based on the accounts of the authority, at least 18 people were killed during the attack of the wolves before they were finally killed.   Louis XV (15th) offered a reward to those who would manage to kill the wolves.  He also offered them prize money and exemption on the military service of their children if they would be able to save a victim.  An old man around 60-years of age and with a billhook, which is a large machete type knife with a hooked blade at the end, as his weapon was able to save a marksman and his friends after they were attacked by the rampaging wolves when their armaments have been depleted.   According to the records, citizens that were named Sieurs de Fayard killed three of them and a pro-hunter managed to kill the 4th wolf.  One general hunted the wolves and managed to kill 2 of them.  When one of the wolves was examined they noticed that the wolf had two rows of teeth on its jaw, a one of a kind wolf that they concluded to be a hybrid.   Here's one for our Australian listeners. Attacks on humans by dingoes are rare, with only two recorded fatalities in Australia. Dingoes are normally shy of humans and avoid encounters with them. The most famous record of a dingo attack was the 1980 disappearance of nine-week-old Azaria Chamberlain. Yes…the “dingo ate my baby” case. We're not gonna go into that much here but…we'll probably do a bonus on it as it's been brought up for us to cover.   Almost all known predatory coyote attacks on humans have failed. To date, other than the Kelly Keen coyote attack and the Taylor Mitchell coyote attack, all known victims have survived by fighting, fleeing, or being rescued, and only in the latter case was the victim partially eaten, although that case occurred in Nova Scotia where the local animals are eastern coyotes or coywolves. A coywolf is a hybrid of coyotes, grey wolves, and eastern wolves.   Now I know what you're thinking…man it's crazy that that many animals eat humans…well, strap in passengers, cus there's more.   How about…well I dunno…polar bears! Polar bears, particularly young and undernourished ones, will hunt people for food. Truly man-eating bear attacks are uncommon, but are known to occur when the animals are diseased or natural prey is scarce, often leading them to attack and eat anything they are able to kill. Scott Haugen learned to hunt elk, cougar and black bear just beyond his hometown of Walterville, Oregon., but nothing he had experienced compared with the situation he faced when he shot a polar bear after it had dragged a man away and eaten part of him.   Haugen, a 1988 University of Oregon graduate, found the body of a man killed by a polar bear in Point Lay, a small whaling village in northern Alaska.   When he pulled the trigger on his 30.06 rifle, Haugen was standing near the body of a man who was “three-fourths eaten.” It was dark and 42 degrees below zero, and the polar bear was less than 100 yards away, moving slowly toward him. Polar bears can outrun a man and they can give a snowmobile a good chase. Oh, and they can literally take a human's head off with one swipe of its huge paws.   The dead man, identified as Carl Stalker, 28, had been walking with his girlfriend when they were chased into the village of 150 by the bear. The friend escaped into a house. Stalker was killed “literally right in the middle of the town,” Haugen said.   All that remained in the road where the attack took place were blood and bits of human hair, Haugen said. While villagers on snowmobiles began searching a wide area, Haugen was told by the officer to take his rifle and follow the blood trail. He tracked the bear's progress about 100 yards down an embankment toward the lagoon. “I shined a light down there and I could see the snow was just saturated with blood.” A snowmobiler drove up, and in the headlights Haugen discovered what was left of Stalker. He couldn't see the bear, however. Then, as the lights of another snowmobile reflected off the lake, Haugen saw the hunkered form of the polar bear. “When they hunt, they hunch over and slide along the ice” to hide the black area of their eyes and snout, Haugen said. “It wasn't being aggressive toward us, but I wasn't going to wait,” he said. “I ended up shooting it right there.”   Crazy shit   Brown bears are known to sometimes hunt hikers and campers for food in North America. For example, Lance Crosby, 63, of Billings, Montana, was hiking alone and without bear spray in Yellowstone National Park in August 2015 when he was attacked by a 259-pound grizzly bear. The park rules say people should hike in groups and always carry bear spray - a form of pepper spray that is used to deter aggressive bears. His body was found in the Lake Village section of the park in northwest Wyoming. Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard were killed and almost fully eaten by a 28-year-old brown bear on October 5, 2003. The bear's stomach was later found to contain human remains and clothing. In July 2008, dozens of starving brown bears killed two geologists working at a salmon hatchery in Kamchatka.  After the partially eaten remains of the two workers were discovered, authorities responded by dispatching hunters to cull or disperse the bears.   Anything else .. Sure is…like…I dunno…pigs?   Although not true carnivores, pigs are competent predators and can kill and eat helpless humans unable to escape them.  Terry Vance Garner, 69, went to feed his animals one day on his farm by the coast, but never returned.   His dentures and pieces of his body were found by a family member in the pig enclosure, but the rest of his remains had been consumed.   The Coos County Oregon district attorney's office said that one of the animals had previously bitten Garner.   Reduced to dentures and "pieces"... Damn.   In 2019, a Russian woman fell into an epileptic emergency while feeding her hogs. She was eaten alive, and her remains were found in the pen.   In 2015, a Romanian farmer died of blood loss after being attacked by his hogs. And a year prior, a 2-year-old toddler from China was eaten when he wandered into a hog enclosure.   In 2013, a mob boss was still alive when he was fed to hogs by a rival family. In fact, it's been whispered for years that the Mafia uses hogs to help them dispose of bodies.   A pig will “eat meat if they are able to come by it. Fact of the matter is, pigs can eat almost anything they can chew. (They've even been known to eat pork if they find it.)” Cannibalistic pigs. Yup.   However,  pigs cannot chew the larger bones of the human body, but they will break them into smaller bits to make them more manageable. Human hair and teeth, on the other hand (or hoof), are not digestible to hogs and will get left behind.   But, it should be a simple matter to shave your victims' heads and pull out their teeth before chow time, right?   So far…all mammals, right? You're probably thinking, “any reptiles?…well fuck yes we have reptiles!   The saltwater and Nile crocodiles are responsible for more attacks and more deaths than any other wild predator that attacks humans for food.    Each year, hundreds of deadly attacks are attributed to the Nile crocodile within sub-Saharan Africa. Because many relatively healthy populations of Nile crocodiles occur in East Africa, their proximity to people living in poverty and/or without infrastructure has made it likely that the Nile crocodile is responsible for more attacks on humans than all other species combined. In Australia, crocodiles have also been responsible for several deaths in the tropical north of the country. The mugger crocodile is another man-eater that kills many people in Asia each year, although not to the same level as the saltwater and Nile crocodiles. All crocodile species are also dangerous to humans, but most do not actively prey on them.    Gustave is a large male Nile crocodile from Burundi. He is notorious for being a man-eater, and is rumored to have killed as many as 300 people from the banks of the Ruzizi River and the northern shores of Lake Tanganyika.  In order to capture his human prey, Gustave uses his tail and kills them by suffocation. He was allegedly responsible for the death of an employee of the Russian embassy while she was bathing in the water.   Gustave's fame only grew and in 2010, French hunter Patrice Faye tried to capture the reptile using a large crocodile trap – which clearly did not work. In a note to the BBC, Faye alleges that Gustave is very smart and his survival instinct leaves nothing to be desired.   For two years Faye studied the possibilities, even creating a documentary called Capturing the Killer Croc, which aired in 2014 and recorded Gustave's several capture attempts.   In the first attempt, a giant cage that weighed a ton and was about 9 meters long was used. Different baits were placed inside the cage, but none of them attracted Gustave or any other creature. The scientists installed three giant traps on strategic river banks to increase their chances of capture; then, only smaller crocodiles were captured by the traps.   In its last week before having to leave the country, the team put a live goat in the cage and, one night, the camera broke due to a storm. The next morning the cage was found partially submerged and the goat wasn't there. It was not clear what happened that night.    All attempts failed to capture Gustave. He's never been brought to justice. An article rumored he had over 300 victims!   American alligators rarely prey upon humans. Even so, there have been several notable instances of alligators opportunistically attacking humans, especially the careless, small children, and elderly.    A 12ft-long, 504lb alligator believed to have attacked and killed a 71-year-old Louisiana man in Hurricane Ida's aftermath, was captured with what appeared to be human remains in its stomach, local authorities said.   Timothy Satterlee Sr vanished on 30 August, while checking on the contents of a shed at his home in Slidell, Louisiana, as flood waters engulfed the area.   After his wife heard a splash, she discovered her husband being gripped in a “death roll” by a huge alligator.   By the time she could intervene, the beast had already ripped off Satterlee's arm and rendered him unconscious.   She pulled him to the steps of their home and — with neither her phone nor 911 working — in a desperate move she climbed into a small boat in search of help.   But when deputies finally arrived, Satterlee wasn't there any more.   “She just never thought in her wildest nightmares that she would get back and he'd be gone,” said Lance Vitter, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office.   Satterlee's disappearance set off a two-week search that ended  after an alligator was caught in a trap near where Satterlee had gone missing, the St Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office said.   Agents euthanized and cut open the alligator, where they discovered “the upper parts of a human body”, according to Vitter.   “Once the alligator was searched, it was discovered to have what appears to be human remains inside its stomach,” the sheriff's office said.   Oof   Now everyone's favorite…snakes!    Only very few species of snakes are physically capable of swallowing an adult human. Although quite a few claims have been made about giant snakes swallowing adult humans, only a limited number have been confirmed. A large constricting snake may constrict or swallow an infant or a small child, a threat that is legitimate and empirically proven. Cases of python attacks on children have been recorded for the green anaconda, the African rock python, and the Burmese python.    Wa Tiba, 54, went missing while checking on her vegetable garden on Muna island in Sulawesi province. A huge search was mounted by local people.   Her sandals and machete were found a day later - a giant python with a bloated belly was lying about 30m away.   "Residents were suspicious the snake swallowed the victim, so they killed it, then carried it out of the garden," local police chief Hamka told news outlet AFP.   "The snake's belly was cut open, slowly revealing the man's clothed body.   Multiple cases are documented of medium-sized (3 m [9.8 ft] to 4 m [ft]) captive Burmese pythons constricting and killing humans, including several non intoxicated, healthy adult men, one of whom was a "student" zookeeper. In the zookeeper case, the python was attempting to swallow the zookeeper's head when other keepers intervened. In addition, at least one Burmese python as small as 2.7 m (8.9 ft) constricted and killed an intoxicated adult.   How about fish?! Sounds like a good place to do some quick hitters!   Contrary to popular belief, only a limited number of shark species are known to pose a serious threat to humans. The species that are most dangerous can be indiscriminate and will take any potential meal they happen to come across (as an oceanic whitetip might eat a person floating in the water after a shipwreck), or may bite out of curiosity or mistaken identity (as with a great white shark attacking a human on a surfboard possibly because it resembles its favored prey, a seal). Of more than 568 shark species, only four have been involved in a significant number of fatal unprovoked attacks on humans: the great white shark, tiger shark, bull shark, and the oceanic whitetip shark. These sharks, being large, powerful predators, may sometimes attack and kill humans; it is worth noting that they have all been filmed in open water by unprotected divers.   So, I found a pretty cool yet messed up story. On July 1, 1916, Charles Vansant was maimed in the water in front of a hotel in Beach Haven, New Jersey. He died as a result of his wounds. Less than a week later, Charles Bruder perished in Spring Lake, just 50 miles up the Jersey Shore. His legless body was pulled from the water.  Then 10-year-old Lester Stilwell was bitten and dragged under the water while playing with his friends in Matawan Creek. A 24-year-old local, Watson Stanley Fisher, hurried into the creek to look for Stilwell's body, but he, too, was mauled by the shark and eventually died.  That same day, just a mile downstream, 14-year-old Joseph Dunn was also bitten. He survived the attack. These third and fourth deaths thrust New Jersey's shark problem into the national spotlight, and marked a turning point in America's collective psyche, according to Burgess: Sharks were no longer just interesting marine animals, they could be killers. President Woodrow Wilson allotted federal aid to "drive away all the ferocious man-eating sharks which have been making prey of bathers," the Philadelphia Inquirer reported on July 14, 1916.  The Philadelphia Evening Ledger said on July 15 that "the shark menace was formally discussed the day before at a Cabinet meeting in Washington." The newspaper reported that a ship would be dispatched to cooperate with the Coast Guard, and "active warfare against sharks instituted." Meanwhile, New Jersey fishermen, Coast Guard members, and townspeople threw sticks of dynamite into Matawan Creek and used wire nets to try to capture the offending animal. Local fishermen ended up catching various shark suspects, including a 215-pound, 9.5-foot-long female shark with 12 babies in her belly.  Finally, New Yorker Michael Schleisser caught and killed an 8-foot, 325-pound great white just a few miles from where Stilwell and Fisher were attacked. The creature had 15 pounds of human remains in its stomach.  This story is what is said to be the inspiration for the movie, JAWS! Piranhas   Attacks by piranhas resulting in deaths have occurred in the Amazon basin. In 2011, a drunk 18-year-old man was attacked and killed in Rosario del Yata, Bolivia. In 2012, a five-year-old Brazilian girl was attacked and killed by a shoal of P. nattereri. Some Brazilian rivers have warning signs about lethal piranhas.   Catfish   Reports have been made of goonch catfish eating humans in the Kali River in India. The Kali River goonch attacks were a series of fatal attacks on humans believed to be perpetrated by a goonch weighing 90 kilograms (200 lb) in three villages on the banks of the Kali River in India and Nepal, between 1998 and 2007. The first attack occurred in April 1998, when at 13:00, 17-year-old Dil Bahadur, while swimming in the river, was dragged underwater in front of his girlfriend and several eyewitnesses. No remains were found, even after a three-day search spanning 5 kilometers (3.11 miles). Three months later, at Dharma Ghat, a young boy was pulled underwater in front of his father, who watched helplessly. No corpse was ever found. The final attack occurred in 2007 when an 18-year-old Nepalese man disappeared in the river, dragged down by something described as a mud-colored "water pig".    Additionally there have been reports of Wels catfish killing and eating humans in Europe. Large predatory catfish such as the Redtail catfish and Piraiba are thought to have contributed to the loss of life when the Sobral Santos II ferry sank in the Amazon River in 1981.   Groupers   The Giant grouper is one of the largest species of bony fish in the world, reaching a maximum length of 3 meters and weight of 600 kilograms.  There have been cases of this species attacking and possibly consuming humans, along with the closely-related Atlantic goliath grouper.   Lizards   Large Komodo dragons are the only known lizard species to occasionally attack and consume humans. Because they live on remote islands, attacks are infrequent and may go unreported. Despite their large size, attacks on people are often unsuccessful and the victims manage to escape with severe wounds.   Well there you have it folks…man eating animals! It seems after this…we are only at the top of the food chain because certain animals allow us to be there.    In closing, here are the man-eater body counts Individual man-eater death tolls include:   436 — Champawat tiger (Nepal/India) 400 — Leopard of Panar (Northern India) 300+ — Gustave (crocodile) (Burundi), rumoured 150 — Leopard of the Central Provinces of India 135 — Tsavo's man-eating lions (Kenya) 125+ — Leopard of Rudraprayag (India) 113 — Beast of Gévaudan (France) 50+ — Tigers of Chowgarh (India) 42 — Leopard of Gummalapur (India) 40 — Wolves of Paris (France)   Movies:   https://screenrant.com/best-killer-animal-movies/

Patrick Duffeler purchased his tract of land called Wessex Hundred just outside of Williamsburg, Virginia in 1983 and would start to plant his vineyard in 1985.  Patrick was born in Belgium and after gaining his degree in Economics & Finance from the University of Rochester, New York he started his professional career with Eastman Kodak. He would go on to work in the International Division of Philip Morris in Switzerland as the Director of Marketing and ultimately become President of Fragrances Selective. It was in 1983 that his wife Peggy had convinced them that he needed to slow down and after an exhaustive search they landed in Williamsburg, Virginia.  Along with producing world quality wine Patrick Duffeler has an amazing country Inn called Wedmore Place and several restaurants on the Estate at Wessex Hundred.His winemaker Matthew Meyer came to Williamsburg via California where he earned a degree at UC Davis in both Oenology and Viticulture and after a short stint at Grigich Hills Wine Cellars was recruited by Heitz Wine Cellars and learned directly from Joe Heitz.  Matthew moved to Virginia and took the position as Winemaker in 2002 and has been producing some of Virginia's highest quality wines ever since.HIGHLIGHTS OF THE INTERVIEW: a). Matthew recounts his introduction to wine as a young boy when he father was a Burgundian wine drinker vs Claret even though they were from Englandb). He talked about what a gift it was to work for Joe Heitz early in his career.c). He relays his father who was a big Burgundy aficionado would send him bottles of Burgundy because he said he would ruin his palette drinking all that California wine.d). When I ask Matthew about Climate Change he points to the continued issue with late frosts in the Spring and how they are getting later and later.e). Patrick brought an interesting perspective to the art of tasting wine and how when he learned to be a Perfumer when he was running an Internation Fragrance company the professionals told him that they couldn't smell and sniff fragrances and remember more than 18 before they got fatigued. He said the same for wine at the most.  Tasting a 100 wines in one sitting you only remember maybe 3 or 4 at the most.f). Matthew surprised me with his answer to my question about what was that one bottle of wine you had that made you go, that's it, now I get it.  Wine can be that ethereal.  g).

durée : 00:03:14 - Esprit d'initiative - par : Emmanuel Moreau - Redonner vie à des villages qui ont souvent perdu leurs commerces, c'est parfois les néo-ruraux qui s'en chargent. Exemple dans le Périgord vert où une association projette de rouvrir un bar-restaurant dans le village de Champs-Romain.

A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, and this bit of southwestern France – whether you call it Dordogne or Périgord or even Aquitaine – smells sweetly of walnuts, washed-rind cheese, and wine. Emily and Caroline are breaking down Périgord's seven strawberry varieties, delving into why a cheese invented by monks was vastly improved by nuns, and explaining how the wines here got to be so deceptively delicious for how reasonable they are. Caroline shares a recipe for a delicious local walnut cake, Emily reduces the 100 Years' War to 15 seconds or less, and they both fangirl over the ultimate badass Eleanor of Aquitaine, who married two kings and proved to be cooler than both of them.Tarte Aux Noix Perigourdine Recipe by Caroline ConnerI made these into little tartlets but you could just as easily make one big tart. It was so delicious, pecan pie vibes but more caramelly and with the lightest crispest pastry!Yes, you could buy pastry, but store bought pastry sucks. It sucks! Making your own pastry is so easy and it's really a zillion times better. The pastry makes enough for 6 tartlets easily cut out with as many scraps leftover for the next project, or one big tart again with scraps. It's so easy, trust me!If you want to make one big tart, increase the cooking times on everything by about 20 minutesServes 6-8Ingredients200g walnut halves200g sugar200g of creme fraiche or heavy cream30g unsalted butter cut into cubes1/4 tsp of salt30g honey2 eggsPate sucrée - or sweet pastry crust - this makes enough for 2 big tartsStart by making the pastry since it will need at least an hour in the fridge before rolling.Pate Sucrée250g AP flour or pastry flour95g powdered sugar30g ground nuts, walnuts if you have them, but almond or hazelnut will do, you can skip this if it's too much of a pain2 big pinches of salt150g butter1 large eggCombine flour, powdered sugar, salt, and ground nuts. Whisk togetherCut butter into cubes and mix into the dry ingredients, pinching and rolling the butter between your fingers until the mixture is sandy and there aren't any big pieces of butter leftCrack the egg into a bowl and break it up with a fork, then add it in and fold with a spatulaYou want to work the dough enough so it starts to create a mass, but it doesn't need to be uniform or totally cohesiveDump it out onto plastic wrap including any dry crumbs, flatten into a disk shape and wrapStore in a cold part of the fridge for at least an hourPreheat the oven to 350F or 175C (if using convection lower it by 10 or so degrees)Spray or butter the tart shellsRoll out pastry with plenty of flourLine the tart shells, it doesn't matter if there are some holes just patch them up!Grease some foil and lay it butter side down over the pastry and fill with either rice, beans, or baking beadsBlind bake like that for 10-15 minutes until the sides look like they are starting to be drierRemove the foil and beans and bake for another 10 minutesMeanwhile - for the tartsHave all your ingredients at hand before you make the caramel, it waits for no (wo)man! And for god's sake be careful, caramel is dangerous.Roast the walnuts in the oven or toast them in the microwave so they get all that good roasted flavor, I don't have a microwave so it's usually 10-15 minutes in the oven for meI dump them into a kitchen towel and crunch them up with my hands, this keeps the chunks large enough to be toothsome and removes some of the bitter skinMelt the sugar in a dry pan over medium heat, you can stir the unmelted sugar into the melted sugar to help it alongOnce it is uniformly melted and a rich amber color, take it off the heat and add the butter cubes and stir, it will spit!Once the butter is in add the honey and cream and saltPut it back on the heat and cook it until it thickens up a bit, it should coat the back of your spoon or spatula rather than sliding straight offAdd the walnuts and stir, removing from the heatIgnore for 15 minutes so it cools down and doesn't immediately scramble your eggsAdd the eggs one at a time and stir in until the mixture is uniformSpoon into the tart shells and then return to the oven for about 15 minutes, it's done when the whole surface looks set, there will be bubblesLet it cool before you stick your face in it, which will be difficultFind Us OnlineWebsite: www.parisundergroundradio.com/theterroirpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/CreditsHost: Emily Monaco. @Emily_in_France; Website: http://www.tomatokumato.com and http://www.emilymmonaco.comHost: Caroline Conner, https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/carolineconner; https://www.instagram.com/winedinecaroline/, www.winedinecaroline.com; www.lyonwinetastings.comProducer: Jennifer Geraghty. @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsMon Paris by Ikson https://www.iksonmusic.com; https://youtube.com/iksonAbout UsFrance is home to thousands of wines, thousands of cheeses, and countless recipes – almost all of which are inextricable from their local terroir.

ENTER HOLIDAY NOVELLA DRAW Martin Walker's - Bruno The Perigord Police Chief Introducing the Best of All Time - The top rating Ten Most Popular Episodes out of the first 200 Martin Walker's Bruno, the French police chief at the heart of his best-selling Perigord mystery series, is everyone's ideal cop – as well as the town's most eligible bachelor and a talented host with an international award-winning cookbook in his name . . . . But before he turned to fiction, Martin had a stellar career in journalism, haunting the world's corridors of power reporting from Moscow during Perestroika and President Bill Clinton's Washington for top newspapers. He's hugely popular in Germany, where a German TV series about Bruno is in production and where he regularly pre pandemic - went on book tours. Here he is talking about his international audience: Martin: Well, I've got this absolutely stupendously good German publisher Diogenes, and when they first decided that they would take on my novels, I was invited to dinner with the founder of the company, an old man called Daniel Keel. His son Phillip has now taken over, and Daniel at dinner said, well, Martin, we're going to be behind you, but you have to be behind us. And that means I'd like you to promise me this evening, you will do at least two weeks book tour every year in Germany. And I said, well, okay, but why is that so important? He said, because in Germany, they don't just want to read, they want to see, they want to smell it and want to really feel what an author is like. And it turns out that in Germany, there is this huge tradition of author's readings. And partly because they have fixed prices on all book sales, every small town in Germany has its own bookstore, and it acts like a kind of a cultural settlement. Bruno the French policeman popular in Germany It brings in authors on a regular basis for readings. And so this last tour I did in October, I actually did my 500th reading in German language countries, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and we've worked out something like over 40,000 people have actually attended these live events and that an extraordinary kind of loyalty base. I rather enjoy it, partly because I believe we should all have fun. So sometimes I will sing and so on and try and make a bit of a show of it for them. I mean, whenever there's a song taking place in the book, I will sing the song. Jenny: I asked Martin if he was comfortable in the German language. My German is a lot better than it was. I always start off giving a talk in German and then there'll always be a German actor to do the German bits. I will read in English. Then we'll do Q and A in German. I've learned more about Germany, thanks to Bruno, in these last few years, and indeed I've seen more Germany than most Germans. Jenny: I was surprised and moved by Martin's answer when I asked him the classic question I ask most authors - looking back over your writing life at the stage of your career, if you were doing it all again, is there anything that you would change? And if so, what? What Martin would change if he could... Martin: Well, I'd endeavor to meet my wife earlier and have been married to her for longer, I guess. Other than that, no, not really. I just think that like so many people of my generation who were born in World War II,

Andere Länder, andere Sitten. Deutschland und Frankreich sind zwar Nachbarn, aber irgendwie liegen doch Welten zwischen den beiden Ländern. Wenn man zum ersten Mal in Frankreich Urlaub macht, sollte man über einiges am besten schon vorher Bescheid wissen. Denn sonst steht man womöglich um 15 Uhr vor einer verschlossenen Restauranttüre oder wird im Café unfreundlich behandelt. Dabei hat man sich doch einfach nur hingesetzt und einen Kaffee bestellt („un café, s'il vous plaît“). Was ist daran denn jetzt bitte falsch? Wie, man setzt sich nicht einfach? Ah bon?

A lot was happening in Paris in 1900. But the two items I would like to focus on today were the Exposition Universelle of 1900 and the Inauguration of the Paris Metro. Paris had a lot to live-up to with the 1900 universal expo. After all the 1889 expo gave rise to the Eiffel Tower and how do you top that? In 1900 they had a pavilion on electricity and lots of gorgeous country pavilions that boasted the best of their respective countries, but what was exciting and new in Paris? The Paris Metro, of course! While not as glamorous and visible as the Eiffel Tower, the Paris Metro transformed the city and continues to be a central part of Parisian life. Book Recommendation: This week Annie read The Matchmaker of the Perigord by Julia Stuart. While not an earth-shattering read, it's pleasant and does not break any rules of life in France. They started thinking about adding a large transportation system in Paris in 1871 and there were several competing ideas. They wanted to have something operational by 1889 for the Paris Word Fair. But they didn’t manage it and the first metro started service on July 19, 1900. Ding-a-Dong by Teach In, Eurovision winner and a superbly happy song. Check out how much fun the guy with the xylophone is having! Annie's Patreon | Elyse's Patreon | Newsletter | Boutique The Inauguration of the Paris Metro They did not inaugurate the Paris Metro to great fanfare because it was a controversial project and politicians felt it was safer to keep everything low-key. Before they got to this inauguration, they went through a lot of proposals and opposing ideas being battled out in the newspapers. But the real issue was choosing the right metro technology for Paris. There is a lot to think about and those decision will impact life in the city for decades to come! There were lots of proposals, I'll just go into two that caught my attention. The photo below is the Angely proposal for a suspended rail system

Hello everyone and Happy Christmas! I'm Jenny Wheeler, the host of the Joys of Binge Reading, and this is our last episode for 2020…   As we did last year, we're taking a break in January to refresh and renew ourselves.   As many of you know, I'm in New Zealand, and as a country we pretty much shut down post Christmas and head for the beaches and forest – which we call bush….It's like a whole nation goes on holiday together… I'm going to be spending time relaxing in my little 1975 Sprite Major caravan  - yes the ones with the cute rounded windows – in a field with fantastic views over the Coromandel coast, now and then going down the hill for swims in the gorgeous sea waters  there –like swimming in champagne. Here we are in the hills above Whitianga on a New Zealand summer holiday!!! (Family members visiting from Aussie!) But before I pack up for the year, I wanted to round out things by first thanking you all for sticking with us this year.  The Joys of Binge Reading has grown this year – it's lovely to see it. And we're getting lots of fantastic authors on to talk about their work, and I can promise more of those next year. For this end of year episode I thought I'd take a look at the shows that have attracted the biggest audience – the people that for whatever reason more of you tuned into - over the last twelve months. The difference in the numbers listening to these guests compared with  many of the others – are sometimes small – and it's true that I get a great pleasure out of every single author I talk to – but these are the ones who'd make the “Top Ten” if we were doing one… Authors come from four corners I was thrilled to see where the author came from seems to make no difference to popularity - the spread of author nationalities between the US, Australia, New Zealand and the UK is pretty evenly shared– so you're a pleasingly global lot!! So instead of having just one voice on the show, you'll be hearing from ten or more…And as usual, if any of these snippets spark your interest and they are a show you missed out on, there will be links in the show notes to make it easy for you to find them and tune in – so there'll be plenty of new people to keep you going over the break.  The shownotes for this episode can be found on the Joys of Binge Reading .com, or you can find us on the Binge Reading Facebook page. I've taken the dates December 1, 2019 to December 1, 2020 as the period we're looking at for obvious reasons – December 2020 isn't over yet. 2020's year's most popular episode I'm proud of the fact that we've now got 150 episodes on the Joys of Binge Reading, and I think every one of those authors are fantastic. However, taking that period, there was one author who stood head and shoulders above the rest in terms of the number of people who tuned in to listen to him – and that was Martin Walker – author of the much-loved Bruno the police chief mystery series, set in Perigord, France. Martin Walker at home in Perigord - a delicious world. Photo, courtesy NY Times. Before he turned to writing French mysteries, Martin had a formidable career as a diplomatic correspondent on top UK newspapers. He shared some highly entertaining stories about his days working as a correspondent in Thatcher's England, Gorbachev's Moscow and Clinton's Washington, but you'll need to head over to his episode to hear those.  The wonders of Perigord So, what was it that made him chuck in such a fascinating glamorous career? To turn to fiction writing. Well, he explains it all here. Martin Walker: When we were based in Brussels, my wife decided that we'd been foreign correspondents for all of our lives and our children needed a place to be rooted. She decided we should get a house in the Perigord, which we'd visited from time to time where we have some friends who were there. And I became increasingly fascinated by the Perigord, particularly by the prehistory,

Die Liebe zu Büchern geht bei uns durch den Magen: Diesmal gibt es Tarte Tatin - ein Apfelkuchen, der in Büchern immer wieder auftaucht und sofort ein Frankreich-Feeling heraufbeschwört. Genau die richtige Einstimmung für das Gespräch mit Martin Walker, dem Autor der Bruno-Krimis. Er lebt im Perigord - und mit ihm haben wir fast ein bisschen mehr über Essen als über Literatur geredet. Reichlich Bücher werden trotzdem serviert: Abgesehen vom aktuellen Bestseller hat Jan deutsche Literatur dabei, während Katharina (mal wieder) bei einem amerikanischen Roman gelandet ist. Die All-Time-Favorites kommen von zwei Hörerinnen (danke dafür!) und im Quiz gibt es Smalltalk-Futter für die nächste Party. Die Bücher dieser Folge: Lucinda Riley: Die Sonnenschwester / aus dem Englischen von Sonja Hauser, Sibylle Schmidt, Ursula Wulfekamp (Goldmann) Elke Erb: Gedichtverdacht (Urs Engeler) Iris Hanika: Echos Kammern (Droschl) Adrienne Brodeur: Wild Game / aus dem Englischen von Nicole Seifert (Droemer Knaur) Martin Walker: Connaisseur (Diogenes) Chad Harbach: Die Kunst des Feldspiels / aus dem Englischen von Stephan Kleiner und Johann Christoph Maas (Dumont) Arundhati Roy: Der Gott der kleinen Dinge / aus dem Englischen von Annette Grube (Fischer TB) Das Rezept für Tarte Tatin - Für die Füllung 1 kg Äpfel (Braeburn oder Elstar) - Für das Karamell 200 g Zucker und 50 g Butter - Für den Boden 1 Ei, 250 g Mehl, 125 g Butter, 50 g Zucker Es gibt extra Tarte-Tatin-Formen, aber es geht auch mit einer gewöhnlichen Springform. Zuerst die Äpfel schälen und in Spalten schneiden. Etwa 15 Minuten dünsten. Die Zutaten für den Teig verkneten und ca. 1 cm dick (in der Größe der Form) ausrollen. Für das Karamell im Kochtopf ein Drittel des Zuckers bei schwacher bis mittlerer Hitze schmelzen. Dann das nächste Drittel Zucker dazugeben und den Topf schütteln, sodass sich der Zucker verteilt. Wenn er fast vollständig zu Karamell verschmolzen ist, das letzte Drittel dazugeben. Vorsichtig rühren, die Butter dazugeben und weiter rühren, bis das Karamell cremig ist.  In die Form füllen, die Äpfel darauf verteilen und den ausgerollten Boden darüber legen. Die Ränder eindrücken und den Teig mit der Gabel einstechen. Etwa 30 Minuten bei 200 Grad im vorgeheizten Ofen backen. Nach dem Backen auf einen Teller stürzen. Wahrscheinlich läuft das Karamell ein bisschen an den Rändern runter - das gehört so!

Since her first collection, The Thing in the Gap-Stone Stile, won the Forward Prize for Best First Collection in 1996, Alice Oswald has been a major voice in UK poetry, with collections that frequently examine the natural world. In 2002 she won the T.S. Eliot Prize for 'Dart', a book-length poem telling the story of Devon's River Dart. Her latest collection, 'Nobody', is inspired by The Odyssey. Fiona Sampson has just published a new of poetry 'Come Down', which is situated in two contrasting landscapes in Hertfordshire and Australia. Her previous work, 'Limestone Country (Little Toller), is also rooted in place, telling personal stories about four particular limestone landscapes: a farming hamlet in Perigord, France, the Karst region of Slovenia, Coleshill, a rural parish in Oxfordshire, and Jerusalem.

Frans van Lent La Biennale de Momon- about the solidity and continuity of the physical world as opposed to the human temporary presence. July - November, 2020.  The initiative: La Biennale de Momon project was set up by Frans van Lent,  a Dutch artist, based in Dordrecht, the Netherlands. His recent projects include the Unnoticed Art Festival, the ConceptBank and the ParallelShow. There is no clear distinction between his practice as a performance artist and his curatorial projects. He often invites other artists to participate on an equal basis. Frans van Lent studied at MaHKU, Utrecht (MA Fine Arts). He tutors at the Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam (since 2000).   The project: Maumont is a small village in the Perigord in France. It consists of 15 houses, around 30 inhabitants and there is no church, shop, café or other public facility. Only a few original residents are still living in the village; many died over the years, others left to live elsewhere. Today most inhabitants are newcomers and pensioners, often from other countries.  Twenty years ago you could still smell the farms everywhere. Herds of cows and sheep were led through the village every day. The village has changed, from a place where all was related to soil, growth and the seasons, to a place where the inhabitants mainly stroll, relax and dream. Momon is the old name of the village, no longer in use since the name Maumont was introduced. Momon stands for the village as it exists in the mind. It is no longer physically linked to the location, it is linked to memories and coloured by nostalgia.  La Biennale de Momon starts from the village, but it will only be that starting point. Nothing will be changed but, on the contrary, it will remain the way it is.  The artists: Eight artists are working in this project: Sarah Boulton (GB), Marc Buchy (FR/BE), Joan Heemskerk (NL), Susana Mendes Silva (PT), Josh Schwebel (CA/DE), Lisa Skuret (US/GB), Elia Torrecilla (ES) and Frans van Lent (NL). They all have a certain preference for creating work without a material body, without physical traces. Their ultimate works might consist of texts, scores, images or sounds, everything that can live online without actually touching the physical ground. During one week in the first half of this year, every artist will individually stay in a small house in the village. She/he will use this time to get familiair with the village, with its surroundings, its inhabitants. And they will of course prepare and create. LaBiennaleDeMomon.org: Finally La Biennale de Momon can only be experienced online. The will be no physical traces left in the village to find. The project will officially be presented at LaBiennaleDeMomon.org  on July 15, 2020.You can of course always choose to visit the location, but do not expect to see something different than what it always was: just a small village in the Perigord.   And finally: In November 2020 we will organise a public conference in the Dordrechts Museum in Dordrecht, the Netherlands.  In this conference all artists will talk about the meaning of this project and about their works.  There will also be other speakers with a professional relation to the subject: actors, journalists, scientists.    Financing the project: We are very happy that the city of Dordrecht, the Netherlands, funded part of this project. It ensures us of the means to realise many aspects as intended. One of the things that is still missing is a fee for the artists. The project is very much dependent of their efforts and I would really want to value this by offering them a fair fee. To realize that we set up the crowdfunding.  The book mentioned in the interview is Underland of Robert Macfarlane.

Kommentare bitte unter https://manglaubtesnicht.wordpress.com/?p=3337 Fotos und Bilder ebenfalls unter obigem Link! Oliver hat die Höhle von Lascaux im Perigord besucht; er berichtet von seiner Reise dorthin, vom Perigord und seinen aktuellen und steinzeitlichen Bewohnern, von den Wandmalereien und ihrer möglichen Bedeutung im Rahmen der Entstehung von Religionen. Das MGEN-Team ist unsicher: Handelt es sich bei den Malereien um Beschwörungen der Jagdmagie, sollen sie schamanische Rituale unterstützen oder fanden in der Höhle Initiationsriten für junge Stammesmitglieder statt? Ist die Höhle vielleicht ein Abbild des Nachthimmels? Oder hatten die Leute damals einfach sehr viel Zeit und Langeweile?

Jenny: But now, here's Martin.  Hello there Martin and welcome to the show, it's great to have you with us. Martin: Hello Jenny.  I don't think I've ever had an interview from such a long distance before! Author Martin Walker - Bruno Chief of Police mysteries and former diplomatic correspondent Jenny: Yes. It's wonderful what modern technology can do. You're in Washington DC and I'm an Auckland New Zealand, and that's really fun.  You've had a distinguished career as a journalist with top newspapers, including as diplomatic correspondence for The Guardian in London. What made you switch to fiction? Martin: When we were based in Brussels, my wife decided that we'd been foreign correspondents for all of our lives and our children needed a place to be rooted. She decided we should get a house in the Perigord, which we'd visited from time to time because  we have some friends who were there. Remarkable prehistoric caves Caves of Perigord - where it all began. Martin Walker's first novel I became increasingly fascinated by the Perigord, particularly by the prehistory, the prehistoric caves, like Lascaux. I remember the shock when I first saw it and thought, my God, these people were in no sense primitive.  We've been quite wrong about this. I mean, the artistic sensibility, it was like our own. And so I began researching, interviewing the archeologists and reading books and visiting all the caves. And I wrote my novel, The Caves of Perigord, which is still in print, I'm proud to say, which is really about what kind of human society that could have produced at Lascaux. Before that, my books were pretty conventionally journalistic -  a history of the cold war, a  book about Gorbachev in Peristroika. A book about modern America and the history of America and so on and a book about the National Front in England. So the sense of liberation in writing this novel about the Perigord, got me even more locked into the fascination with this part of France. Art work from the prehistoric Lascaux caves - setting for Martin Walker's first novel. Moving into Bruno mysteries Jenny: That's fantastic. So you moved on to the mystery genre and a French police chief called Bruno. How did you make the choice of genre? You've explained the setting, but why did you go to mysteries? Martin: Well, because in our village in France,  I became friends with a local neighbor who took me down to the  tennis club and rugby club. And I began playing on Friday mornings when I was there, in a little foursome of three local people and me. Of course, it was a very gentle game of tennis from about 10 30 till about midday. And then we went into the tennis club, which being France has a wonderful kitchen, and we made ourselves a pretty spectacular lunch. And one of the four people I played with was a man who have been in the French army for 10 years and spend his spare time teaching the local kids to play tennis and rugby.

Svampesæsonen synger på sidste vers. Dog ikke for vintertrøflerne – den sorte Perigord-trøffel og den hvide italienske trøffel fra Alba. På det senest har de danske nyhedsmedier været fulde af eventyrlige fortællinger om helt almindelige danskere med trøffelhunde og ualmindelige Dorte, som finder trøfler med sin tamme ræv. I dagens afsnit af Vildspor har vi boret os helt ned i trøffelmysterierne. Vi har engageret en af verdens dygtigste felteksperter i svampe, Thomas Læssøe fra Københavns Universitet. Thomas tager med Emil og Lærke i skoven på trøffeljagt og hjem til Rasmus i studiet for at fortælle om svampenes spiselighed og hvad der skal til for at kende dem fra hinanden. Kun let distraheret af en bedrøvet fugl som ringer på naturtelefonen. Vi afslører om Dorthe i Mariager virkelig finder ægte trøfler, og vi forfølger et rygte om et Pizzeria i Guldsmedegade, som serverer pizza med ægte vintertrøfler.

På hösten är det mycket tryffel på restaurangmenyn. Tryffel på mackan, över köttet och på pastan. Oftast kommer tryffeln från Frankrike eller Italien Men nu är också Sverige ett tryffelland. I juli somras besökte vi Östergarn på östra Gotland. Där bor Susanne Welin-Berger som plockar, odlar och förädlar Bourgogne-tryffel, som den svenska tryffeln heter. Susanne visar oss sina tryffelodlingar. För att kunna odla tryffel planteras nya ekträd som har tryffelmycel på rötterna så att det kommer att växa tryffel i jorden runt eken. Vild tryffeln finns överallt på Gotland, och har också hittats på Öland, men ännu inte på fastlandet. Tryffel omfattas inte av allemansrätten, utan det är bara markägaren som får plocka den. På Gotland plockas det drygt 700 kilo tryffel om året. Cirka 680 kilo av dem är vild tryffel, resten odlad. Vi går på tryffeljakt tillsammans med hunden Marre. Tryffeldoktorn Christina Wedén vid Uppsala Universitet berättar hur det gick till när den svenska tryffeln upptäcktes på 1970-talet. Stjärnkocken Stefan Karlsson använder gärna svensk tryffel. Hur står den sig mot de mer kända sorterna från Frankrike och Italien, den svarta Perigord-tryffel och den vita Alba-tryffeln?
