Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 2, 2025 is: cajole kuh-JOHL verb To cajole someone is to use flattery or gentle urging to persuade them to do something or to give you something. Cajole can also mean “to deceive with soothing words or false promises.” It is often used with the word into. // She cajoled her partner into going to the party with her. // They hoped to cajole him into cooperating with local officials. See the entry > Examples: “... I cajoled my father into letting me use the company season tickets which were supposed to be used for clients, but sometimes wound up in my hands.” — Sal Maiorana, The Rochester (New York) Democrat and Chronicle, 22 Oct. 2025 Did you know? However hard we try, we can't cajole the full history of cajole from the cages of obscurity. We know that it comes from the French verb cajoler, meaning “to give much attention to; to make a fuss over; to flatter or persuade with flattery,” and goes back to the Middle French cajoller, meaning “to flatter out of self-interest.” But the next chapter of the word's history may, or may not, be for the birds: it's possible that cajoller relates to the Middle French verb cageoller, used for the action of a jay or other bird singing. Cageoller, in turn, traces back to gaiole, a word meaning “birdcage” in a dialect of Picardy.
In the first of three Bonus Episodes of the podcast to end Season 8, we travel to Fricourt on the Somme and examine the journey to unveil a memorial to the 17th (Northern) Division in the church there in July 1938, just over a year before the outbreak of a Second World War. Who made that pilgrimage to Picardy, and what does it tell us about the experience of the Great War? The image used for this episode shows men of the 17th (Northern) Division on the steps of a captured German dugout at Fricourt in July 1916. The image was taken by Ernest Brookes.

Wednesday of the Third Week of Lent Saint of the Day: St. Colette, 1380-1447; orphaned at 17, she became a Franciscan tertiary, living in Corby Abbey, near Picardy, France; she left in response to a dream directing her to reform the Poor Claires; she founded seventeen convents with the reformed rule, and reformed several older convents; known for her sanctity, ecstasies, and visions of the Passion; prophesied her own death Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 3/6/24 Gospel: Matthew 5:17-19
WALKING WITH THE SAINTS l FEAST OF ST. ANSGAR, APOSTLE OF THE NORTH l FEBRUARY 3 St. Ansgar, Anskar or Oscar was known as the “Apostle of the North” as he travelled and preached to bring Christianity to Northern Europe. He is also known as the Apostle of Hanover, Germany. Ansgar was the son of a noble French family. He was born in Corbie, France on September 8, 801. After his mother's early death, he was brought up in a Benedictine monastery in Picardy. As a little boy, he had a vision that his mother was in the company of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This gave him impression and he became very prayerful and virtuous and when he was of age, he joined the Benedictine Order and became a very powerful teacher and preacher. He was sent as a missionary to Denmark, but with little success. When Sweden needed a missionary, Ansgar set out with another monk. Unfortunately, they were captured by pirates on the way and suffered many difficulties. But they were able to escape and reached Sweden. After more than a year in Sweden, he was recalled and the pope made him legate of the Scandinavian missions and in 831 appointed him Archbishop of Hamburg.He sent the first missionary priests to Hanover, Germany. Ansgar devoted himself to the work and preaching in his diocese. After 13 years, another misfortune happened. The Northmen came and burned the cities to the ground. As a result, Sweden and Denmark returned to paganism. Again, Ansgar established new apostolic activities in the North. He travelled to Denmark and was instrumental in the conversion of a new king. After the death of Louis, the Pious in 840, the diocese was divided into two and Ansgar lost the abbey of Turholt. There was no revenue and many workers deserted him. The son of the king did not bestow Turholt to Ansgar, but in 847, made Ansgar the bishop of Bremen and Ansgar settled there in 848. But another canonical difficulty arose. It took time before the pope approved the union of Hamburg and Bremen. Yet Ansgar continued his northern mission. The Danish civil war forced him to establish relations with two kings. He obtained permission to build a church in Sleswick and the recognition of Christianity as a tolerated religion. Ansgar is remembered as an extraordinary preacher, a humble and ascetical priest. He was devoted to the poor and the sick. He imitated the Lord Jesus in washing their feet and in serving them at table. He was known as a self-effacing priest. He asked only for one miracle – that God would make him a good man. Deep in his heart he treasured the desire to give his life for the faith, to die as a martyr, to show his great love for God. But contrary to his wish, he died peacefully in Bremen, Germany on February 3, 865 and was buried in the cathedral. After his death, Sweden turned back to paganism and returned only two centuries later. Ansgar worked, preached and suffered very much and did not taste success. Instead, he lived to see his work destroyed and his sacrifices apparently fruitless: we can say that it was one defeat after another. Yet, in the eyes of God he was a winner. And in himself, he looked at his defeats as victories; his pains, he considered as gains. He was indeed a great missionary! Pope Nicholas, I confirmed his canonization. His feast day is February 3. Virtue: piety, faith, chastity, integrity, fortitude, humility, charity, obedience, patience and hope Prayer: “St. Ansgar, please pray that we may have your undying faith and hope in God's love.”

Opening Song: Psalm 126 (https://open.spotify.com/track/2Urw2FGFCqSaPhhH9DpAzx?si=b76fa1908cf24769) by Isaac Wardell Lyrics: Our mouths they were filled, filled with laughter Our tongues they were loosed loosed with joy Restore us O Lord Restore us O Lord Although we are weeping Lord help us keep sowing The seeds of Your kingdom For the day You will reap them Your sheaves we will carry Lord please do not tarry All those who sow weeping Will go out with songs of joy The nations will say He has done great things The nations will sing songs of joy Restore us O Lord Restore us O Lord Passage: Restore Our Fortunes, O Lord A Song of Ascents. 126 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” 3 The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad. 4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like streams in the Negeb! 5 Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! 6 He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. Musical Reflection: Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (PICARDY) Reflection Notes: Adapted from a medieval French folk tune, PICARDY was later arranged by esteemed English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams as a congregational hymn. The minor tonalities and scalar phrasing are very reminiscent of chant and serve to create a hushed environment in which to reflect on the rich text. Prayer: Your glorious Majesty surround me, the blessed Trinity protect me, and the eternal Godhead preserve me. Your unlimited mercy support me; your loving kindness encompass me; your favor make me to rejoice. The eternal truth of God be my delight, the saving knowledge of Christ strengthen me, and the all-prevailing grace of God be sufficient for me. May the grace of God the Father lead me, the wisdom of God the Son be my consolation, and the power of the Holy Spirit enlighten me. Lord my Creator, stand by me; my Redeemer, save me; and my Comforter, dwell with me. Amen. -Johann Habermann
Opening Song: Psalm 80 (https://open.spotify.com/track/2NsdC4MAwUv7qE8Svw4xBQ?si=f97026dad8eb46ba) by Poor Bishop Hooper Lyrics: O God, restore Shine Your face Once more on us Hear us, Shepherd of Israel You who shepherd Your people well Who sits among the light O God, restore Shine Your face Once more on us Come again, Almighty One The vine You've chosen needs the Son Who sits at Your right hand The One whom You've raised up O God, restore Shine Your face Once more on us Passage: 1 Listen, Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; you who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine 2 on Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally your power and come to save us. 3 Restore us, God; make your face shine on us, so that we may be saved. 4 LORD God of Armies, how long will you be angry with your people's prayers? 5 You fed them the bread of tears and gave them a full measure of tears to drink. 6 You put us at odds with our neighbors; our enemies mock us. 7 Restore us, God of Armies; make your face shine on us, so that we may be saved. (Psalm 80:1-7 CSB) Musical Reflection: Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (PICARDY) Reflection Notes: Adapted from a medieval French folk tune, PICARDY was later arranged by esteemed English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams as a congregational hymn. The minor tonalities and scalar phrasing are very reminiscent of chant and serve to create a hushed environment in which to reflect on the rich text. Prayer: Almighty God, who sees that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves, keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities that may happen to the body and from all evil thoughts that may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. -The Gregorian Sacramentary
This unusual song was a feature of the 60s and 70s folk revival - a real show stopper and something of a curiosity. But underneath it lies a thousand years of European folklore, and a further thousand years of vivid theology.So, my friends, we're going on a metaphysical journey to the underworld. Have you been charitable in your life? Did you give a cow to the poor, or 'hosen and shoon' to a beggar? Did you judge rightly? Have you been moving your neighbours' boundary stones? Better take stock, because the journey is long and dangerous.We're going over the thorny moor and the high Gjallarbrui; we're glimpsing heaven and hell and as for the final judgement, we've got a ringside seat. There are angels and ghosts and, surprisingly, gossip.This is a song that has to be experienced rather than studied, so follow me. We're going to have a weird time.MusicL'Homme Arme, 15th Century song by Johannes RegisSainte Nicholas, 12th Century song by Godric of FinchaleMarglit og Targjei Risvollo, traditional Norwegian songDraumkvedet, traditional Norwegian balladChiamando, un'astorella, 14th Century Italian songLet All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence is based on the Cherubic Hymn in the Orthodox Christian tradition and dates back to least 275 AD.

Agrivoltaics is a set of practices that allow photovoltaic energy production and agricultural production to coexist on the same land, at the same time. In the current context of fluctuating energy bills, the solutions proposed by the solar power industry are beginning to gain more traction in Europe's agriculture sector. But there's much still that's unclear – and this appears to be cause for hesitation. What impact do solar panels have on yields? Are photovoltaic solutions adapted to all types of culture and breeding? How should we supervise this nascent, but promising, sector so that farming does not become sacrified on the altar of solar power? The 37th epsiode of Food for Europe travels to France, an agrivoltaics pionneer, to meet Benoît Bougler, a farmer from Picardy who hosts one of the first solar panel installations above a cereal crop. Cédric Cogniez, head of agricultural partnerships for one of France's leading solar energy producers, TSE, takes stock of agrivoltaics in France. Lina Dubina, sustainability policy advisor at Solar Power Europe, the trade association for the European photovoltaic industry, discusses efforts at European level to promote the deployment of agrivoltaic solutions. Finally, Antanas, Karbauskas, policy coordinator for economic sustainability for the Common Agricultural Policy at the European Commission's DG AGRI, discusses the possibilities for agrivoltaics in the current European regulatory framework and the potential of solar energy in agriculture.

The Renaissance-era Villers-Cotterêts castle, in France's Picardy region, is now home to the first cultural site in the world dedicated to the French language, a project championed by President Emmanuel Macron. It's a story conveyed with words, art and architecture to pay tribute to a language spoken by some 320 million people across the globe. But is the influence of the French language still growing? We speak to Xavier North, Hassane Kassi Kouyaté and Barbara Cassin, co-curators of the museum.

To discover France's Baie de Somme, on the northern Picardy coast, it's best to venture out at low tide. The River Somme's vast estuary reveals an archipelago of sandbanks and salt marshes: a paradise for migratory birds, but also for sheep farmers. During a canoe trip, tourists can get close to the stars of the bay: the seals. The largest seal colony in France has taken up residence here, much to the delight of visitors.

Vous voudrez peut-être réécouter cet épisode - ou l'écouter pour la première fois, si vous suivez ce podcast pour la première fois - avant d'écouter celui-ci, car il raconte en grande partie la même histoire d'un point de vue différent.

Opening Song: Silent Night (https://open.spotify.com/track/74LFX2SPi4b77TrOBUGemr?si=a03567f894704641) by Franz Xaver Gruber, and arranged by Jason Ingram, John Freeman Young, Joseph Mohr, Lauren Daigle, and Paul Mabury Lyrics: Silent night holy night All is calm all is bright 'Round yon virgin mother and Child Holy infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Silent night holy night Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia Christ the Saviour is born Christ the Saviour is born Silent night holy night Son of God love's pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus Lord at Thy birth Jesus Lord at Thy birth Passage: 1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth. 2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might and come to save us! 3 Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved! 4 O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people's prayers? 5 You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink in full measure. 6 You make us an object of contention for our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves. 7 Restore us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved! (Psalm 80:1–7 ESV) Musical Reflection: Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (PICARDY) Reflection Notes: Adapted from a medieval French folk tune, PICARDY was later arranged by esteemed English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams as a congregational hymn. The minor tonalities and scalar phrasing are very reminiscent of chant and serve to create a hushed environment in which to reflect on the rich text. Prayer: This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
Opening Song: Prepare Him Room (https://open.spotify.com/track/5E6EEuZZgWzNN5mM8AcZTd?si=5207f6c0abf642e7) by Rita Baloche Lyrics: Who is man that You would care for us You clothed Yourself in flesh to draw us near In sinful men You've made our hearts Your home To make Your glory known Your redemption clear Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room For nothing else compares with You Restore the joy of our salvation Lord Prepare our hearts for more of You No greater love has anyone than this To sacrifice the gift of Your only Son So we lay aside all the earthly things And all that comes between this great divide Passage: 1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. 3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough places shall become level ways, 6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'” (Luke 3:1–6 ESV) Musical Reflection: Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (PICARDY) Reflection Notes: Adapted from a medieval French folk tune, PICARDY was later arranged by esteemed English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams as a congregational hymn. The minor tonalities and scalar phrasing are very reminiscent of chant and serve to create a hushed environment in which to reflect on the rich text. Prayer: O Lord Jesus Christ, at your first coming you humbled yourself because of our sins. At your second coming our sins will be done away with by your mercy, and we will be numbered with your saints in glory everlasting; through your merits, O blessed Savior, with the Father and the Holy Spirit you live and reign, one God, now and forever. Amen. A prayer from the ancient Mozarabic church (ca. 400–600 CE). The Mozarabs were Christians who lived in Hispania (modern-day southern Spain).

As the sun set on the Somme battle, over 125,000 Allied soldiers lay dead on the fields of Picardy. Every inch of ground that had been gained had been paid for in blood.The Germans, badly mauled from their experiences both in Picardy and Verdun, and concerned by Austrian failures against the Italians took the remarkable decision to withdraw their armies from the Somme to a newly constructed defensive line, a remarkable feat of precision German defensive engineering, the Siegfriedstellung or Hindenburg Line.Codenamed Operation Alberich, after the malevolent dwarf King from German mythology, the withdrawal was a tactical masterstroke, that left the Allies both bemused and stranded in a desolate wilderness of scorched earth. Why did the Germans make this decision? What did their commanders think, and what was the strategic impact on the Allies' planning? Find out all in our first episode of Season 3.

In this first episode of a two-part podcast, we visit the largest British war memorial in the world, Sir Edwin Lutyen's geometric masterpiece, the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing.Bearing the names of over 72,000 British and South African soldiers who died on the Somme and have no known grave, the memorial stands as a testament to the volunteer Army who responded to Lord Kitchener's famous "Your country needs you!" appeal and who were killed in their thousands on the fields of Picardy in the Somme campaign.We hear the story of a 20-year-old Irishman who won the Victoria Cross laying his life down for his friends and a 51-year-old international rugby-playing Vicar who enlisted to encourage others from his small parish in Kent. We hear about the remarkable design of the memorial the trials and tribulations of French bureaucracy to get the memorial built, and how millions of years of history lie beneath your feet when you stand next to the magnificent War Stone under the memorial.

Today, as the episode's title indicates, we're going to look at the history from Fredegunda's point-of-view. And it's a pretty intense ride, to the point where, instead of trying to come up with some sort of catchy phrase to sum up the events of history in three or four words in the title, we chose to just go with the Queen's name. Fredegunda, as we'll see, is summation enough. Fredegunda appears to have been a self-made woman. Gregory implies that she had been a servant, and according to the historian François Guizot, she “was the daughter of poor peasants in the neighborhood of Montdidier in Picardy, and at an early age joined the train of Queen Audovera, the first wife of King Chilperic. She was beautiful, dexterous, ambitious, and bold.” She was also murderous, dangerous, ruthless, and probably a hundred other similar adjectives; she was DEFINITELY the world's worst. Stepmother. Ever. As you listen to today's episode, keep one question in mind: Was Fredegunda a horrible person and murderer, or was she a competent administrator who was unafraid to do whatever was necessary for her family and herself? Your answer to that question is going to color how you view the woman. As always, the music used for the show comes from Josh Woodward and includes his songs “Bully” and “Lafayette.” For a free download of these songs or hundreds of other great tracks, check out his site at joshwoodward.com.

In The Found *NSYNC Fan Fiction Radio Hour, we chronologically read aloud pages of one author's *NSYNC fan fiction, from a binder found at a thrift store. As usual, we question the author's grammatical choices, enjoy irrelevant notes in the margins, all the while Sacha accompanies us on his keyboard. In this episode, Joey Fatone and Kelly (the narrator of the story) drive down to Florida to reunite with the rest of the members of *NSYNC at the band's compound, looking forward to sharing the news about Kelly's pregnancy with Joey's parents. Once there, some kind of trainer or choreographer named Wade is subjecting *NSYNC to extreme workouts, yet Joey still finds the energy to enthusiastically flirt with Kelly. In order to give our full attention to both performing the text from the binder and hash out exactly what is going on, we make our way through potent caffeinated beverages from New Wave Cafe in Logan Square in Chicago. We postulate a new theory about the origins of the material in the binder, and it's a doozy! Plus! New found notes in the margins that lead to hot leads and speculation about the anonymous author! Also in this episode: Picardy thirds, lime Jello-cream cheese dessert with Vitamix, fan fiction read ASMR-style, Chicago street sweepers, the usual puzzling choice of stage direction placement in the text, I'm Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman as a proposed national anthem, platinum edging, “I can feel you breathe” on the inside of ring, Silent Night as background music, Connie Chung's meltdown, murder ballads, the notion that there is a higher probability of the binder being written by an artificial intelligence than Lance from *NSYNC actually being entertaining to anybody, a town in Illinois called Kenilworth. We said we'd post a picture of something we couldn't read. We think it might say, “Thanks for the saxe.” is it possible the writer spelled sex wrong? You be the judge.
