The world lost a legend recently, and we wanted in some small way to pay tribute to the great Dolly Parton. So we're playing you an episode from a series we had a small part in back in 2017, Dolly Parton's America. The series kicked off with a simple question: How did the queen of the boob joke become a feminist icon? Helen Morales, author of “Pilgrimage to Dollywood,” gave us a stern directive – look at the lyrics! So we dive into Dolly's discography, starting with the early period of what Dolly calls “sad ass songs” to find remarkably prescient words of female pain, slut-shaming, domestic violence, and women being locked away in asylums by cheating husbands. We explore how Dolly took the centuries-old tradition of the Appalachian “murder ballad”—an oral tradition of men singing songs about brutally killing women—and flipped the script, singing from the woman's point of view. And as her career progresses, the songs expand beyond the pain to tell tales of leaving abuse behind. How can such pro-woman lyrics come from someone who despises the word feminism? Best to let Dolly tell you herself. EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Jad Abumrad and Shima Oliaee Produced by - Jad Abumrad with help from - W.

Trusting that God will provide, Ignatius begs and travels through Rome and Venice before finally reaching Jerusalem. He longs to remain in the Holy Land and help souls, but the Franciscan authorities order him to leave — forcing him to surrender even this deeply cherished desire.

Fresh off the first Cascadia Men's Conference, I'm pleased to share my first long-form podcast episode in some months. Right now, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is storming around the world, a $1.3 billion phenomenon that has returned one of humanity's oldest stories to the center of our cultural conversation.My guest today is a man who has been steeping in this epic for years. Phil Cousineau is the author of newly published ‘The Wisdom of the Odyssey: Twenty-four Life Lessons from Homer's Epic' and more than forty other books, including the bestselling The Art of Pilgrimage and The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work. He is a writer, teacher, and storyteller who has consulted on myth and story for Warner Brothers, Pixar, and Lucasfilm, led mythology travel programs to Greece for more than three decades, and hosted the PBS television series Global Spirit.In our conversation, Phil invites us to look at why The Odyssey has risen once again. He suggests the epic poem is Western culture's first articulated case of PTSD and the consequence of war and conquest. We speak of the women who guide Odysseus back to himself, the terror of crossing your own threshold after twenty years away, and what it means when love rather than fame becomes the gravity that pulls a man home.Phil reminds us that the Odyssey is everybody's story, and the courage required to bend down and kiss the earth in gratitude for the chance to begin again.Here in full is the Rumi poem I reference (translated by Haleh Liza Gafori)LOVE, YOUR waters, your melodieswhirl me and whirl me.I'm the wheel in a mill.Whirl me forever.When my heart is troubled,when my heart has fled,keep me close.No branch, no leaf, no piece of straw drawn to amberwill move without a breeze.Unless desire stirs it, nothing in this world will dance.Every element, every particle of every elementis a whirling lover, drunk on union.The generous host lays out a feast.Animals graze the sweet grass.Didn't the ants tell secrets to Solomon?Didn't the mountains singwhen David sang his songs of praise?The sky is your lover.Lay your head on its peaceful chest.The sun is your lover. Drink its light.Love moves through every mountain and field.How else would green grow from earth's dark body?LINKS * Phil Cousineau - Official Website* The Wisdom of the Odyessy - BookHeads up, if you are a man seeking to explore the mythopoetic path, you are invited to check out The Archetypal Compass.

"While sitting on the school bus, I looked out the window and saw a tall lanky boy and suddenly heard a voice in my right ear, 'That's the one!' I turned toward the voice, and no one was there." ---------- Elijah was trying to hear God in the wind, fire, and earthquake. Which to us, sounds like today's episode… Did another car just pass through a person? Where did that perfectly placed $20 bill come from when Kimberly had no money for gas? And what about the 13-year-old girl who heard three words about a boy… words she wouldn't understand until years later? Then there's Janelle, the surfer God seemingly moved heaven and earth to send across an ocean, only to give her no waves. Maybe the question isn't whether God is speaking. Maybe it's whether we recognize what He sounds like. ---------- Join Us October 2026 for a Pilgrimage to Medjugorje We invite you to embark with us this October 10th to 18th on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje--one of the most grace-filled and spiritually uplifting places we've ever encountered.

In this episode of Chronicles, Luca and Rory conclude their discussion of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage with Canto IV. They explore Byron's love of Venice, and his ruminations on the fallen glory of Rome.

What if one of the most powerful guides for navigating modern life was written nearly three thousand years ago? Stories and myths have long helped us make sense of life's biggest questions—who we are, what we're here for, and how we find our way through adversity, change, and uncertainty. In this episode, I'm joined by Phil Cousineau, an acclaimed mythologist, storyteller, filmmaker, and author of more than forty books, including The Art of Pilgrimage and his latest release, The Wisdom of the Odyssey: Twenty-Four Life Lessons from Homer's Epic. A protégé of Joseph Campbell and lifelong student of mythology, Phil has spent decades exploring how ancient stories continue to shape and guide us today. Together, we explore why The Odyssey remains one of the most enduring stories ever told, what it reveals about resilience, purpose, belonging, and the search for home, and how its lessons can help us navigate our own journeys with greater wisdom and courage. If you've ever felt lost, longed for deeper meaning, or wondered what timeless stories can teach us about living well, this conversation is for you.

"I was at the bookstore and out of the corner of my eye I saw a book inching its way to the edge of the shelf, teetering, then falling to my feet, face up. And there she was." ---------- Dr. Cyndi Peterson had everything she thought should make her happy, yet something was missing. Then, a mysterious dream, a book about Medjugorje falling at her feet, and extraordinary encounters with God, transformed her faith. But then came unimaginable losses. And a feeling that God had turned against her. Angry and feeling betrayed, Cyndi finally confronted God: "I really can't trust You."

In this episode of Chronicles, Luca and Rory discuss Canto III of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage. They explore Byron's reflections on Waterloo, Napoleon, and nature.

A pilgrimage is a journey to a holy place. Twenty years ago I walked the Camino for the first time. That led to many walking pilgrimages here in the states. Pilgrimages can teach us so much. May Jesus be the food for your journey. ¡Buen Camino!

Known as St Patrick's Purgatory, the religous retreat has attracted pilgrims for over 1500 years, our reporter Joe Caulfield joined the pilgrimage last week.

Ultrarunning eventually becomes a mental problem. The body hurts, the race stops going to plan, and the question becomes what the best ultrarunners understand about continuing when quitting makes sense.Harvey Lewis has spent 30 years figuring that out. In part two of our conversation in Ohio, we get into the mental strategies behind Backyard Ultra, why different races require different mindsets, the failures that changed how Harvey competes, and what decades of Badwater, journey runs, and 200-milers have taught him about going farther than he thought possible.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Thumbnail photo by Romain MayambiTopics / Timestamps00:00 Harvey Lewis Intro01:15 The Mental Game of Ultrarunning10:47 Learning How Not to Quit14:06 Different Mindsets for Different Races16:55 Pilgrimages and Journey Runs23:31 What Failure Taught Harvey Lewis30:33 What the Best Ultrarunners UnderstandResources / LinksSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Borderlands.ccHigh TonesRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Fear, anger, grief, and stress all live in a real map inside your body called the meridians, and in this first episode of our four part series, I show you what the meridians are, why your emotions get stuck in them, and how fear in particular lives in the kidney and bladder and can finally be moved through Kundalini Yoga chanting and the breath, prana.This is Episode 1 of a four-part series walking the meridians, the energy pathways that carry prana through your body, one emotion and one pair of organs at a time. The meridians are where your emotions actually live and move through, and once you understand this map, your body stops being a mystery and you release the fear at the root. We begin with fear, because the body has to feel safe before anything else can heal/evolve, and fear lives in the Water element, in the kidney and the bladder and is once of the most common emotional patterns that is passed down in lineages.Along the way, this episode shows why understanding the meridians is not optional for women. There is a mental health crisis among women right now, and its real root is a fear that lives in the body and gets passed down the mother line, one that cannot be prayed or medicated away. We look honestly at how women's bodies actually work, how women in crisis have been failed for generations, and the heartbreaking case of Lindsay Clancy, as the proof of why this holistic body, mind, soul-based medicine cannot wait.What you'll learn:- What the meridians are, the twelve energy pathways that carry prana through your body, and why your emotions flow or become stagnant in the rivers - How the meridians work: yin and yang, the six organ pairs, the five elements, and the emotion each one carries- The two vessels up your spine that carry your ancestors' energy, and why restoring flow in the meridians is generational- Why fear lives in the kidney and bladder meridians, and the body clock that explains why so many women crash between 3 and 7 in the evening- The science that will give you chills: your adrenal glands, which make your fear hormones, sit directly on top of your kidneys, exactly where the meridian map placed fear thousands of years ago- Why the women's mental health crisis, and the Lindsay Clancy case, prove this matters now more than ever - The Chattr Chakkr Vartee Kundalini Yoga mantra, why chanting this mantra moves fear when words cannot, and Yogananda's Christ Consciousness teaching on fear and the Cosmic Mother- Plus Three things you can begin this week to move fear out of your body**Chapters:**00:00 You can't pray your fear away02:00 Why this matters for women04:00 What the meridians are07:00 How the meridians work: yin, yang, pairs, and elements10:00 The vessels that carry your ancestors13:00 Women, fear, and a system that fails them: the Lindsay Clancy case20:00 Fear in the kidney and bladder, and the body clock24:00 The science: your adrenals sit on your kidneys29:00 The mantra that moves fear33:00 The Christ Consciousness perspective37:00 Three things to begin this weekWelcome to the Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Sovereign Sister!I am Veronica Barragan, founder of the Sovereign Sisterhood Sanctuary, Kundalini Yoga therapist, and author of *Tending the Ancestral Garden, Reclaiming the Sanctuary*.

The three of us were fortunate enough to be in Canton, OH to see OUR GOAT, Andrew Christopher Brees, get enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. At times, getting there seemed more like a pilgrimage instead of a "trip" BUT, Saturday's events made it all worth it. Truly an unforgettable experience and a buvket list item checked, SO we do our best to give you our "boots on the ground" perspective and recount it all to get you as vicariously close to it as possible.Also, CBS Sportsline recently released a list of the NFL's top 100 players of all-time, and....it ranked Brees at No. 33....Since you're likely as pissed or perplexed by this ranking as we were, we dive into the players, and primarily quarterbacks who were ranked ahead of him in order to properly debunk such an idiotic ranking. Spoiler alert, we have him ranked much higher - as he should be.TUNE IN NOW to catch a solid episode.

In Can We Keep the Biblical Pilgrimage Festivals Today?, we explore whether believers outside Jerusalem can faithfully keep Unleavened Bread, Shavuot, and Sukkot. Torah provides accommodations for unavoidable circumstances, and both diaspora Jews and early Christians honored these festivals wherever they lived. Scripture ReferencesDeut 16:16; Ex 23:14–17; Num 9:6–13; Deut 14:22–25; 1 Cor 5:7–8; 1 Cor 16:1–4 TakeawayYHWH desires faithful obedience. Even when literal pilgrimage is impossible, we can honor the festivals by keeping every commandment we are able to fulfill and directing our hearts toward His chosen place.

Homily - 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time - France Pilgrimage & God's Simple Way

"I had missed a message somewhere. I had not been paying attention to God's call. So, when my daughter received her eyesight, it really smacked me in the face." ---------- For the third week in a row, Lourdes unexpectedly returns. First through Greg's remarkable near-death experience, then through Kevin Matthews' story of a broken statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, and now through an unexpected nudge that led me back to one of our own podcast episodes from nearly three years ago. But this isn't simply a story about miraculous water. It's about learning to notice God. Sometimes the greatest miracle isn't physical healing but the moment our eyes are finally opened to His presence. Zoe's healing becomes her mother's conversion. ---------- Join Us October 2026 for a Pilgrimage to Medjugorje We invite you to embark with us this October 10th to 18th on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje--one of the most grace-filled and spiritually uplifting places we've ever encountered.

In this episode of Chronicles, Luca and Rory continue to discuss Childe Harold's Pilgrimage. This time exploring the decay of Greek dignity under Ottoman oppression, and Childe Harold's wonder at the untamed vitality of Albania.

Greg Jenner is joined in medieval Europe by historian Dr Simon Yarrow and comedian Rachel Parris to learn all about the cult of saints and their relics. The veneration of saints still plays an important role in the lives of Catholics all over the world, but what did the cult of saints – and especially devotion to their relics – play in medieval Europe? This episode explores all aspects of the topic: who became a saint, and how the canonisation process changed over the centuries as the papacy tried to more tightly control it. What sorts of signs and miracles proved someone's sanctity. What relics are, and how medieval churches acquired them, both legitimately and illegitimately. What people in the Middle Ages thought saints could do for them, and the pilgrimages they took to their tombs in search of aid. And it asks whether everyone believed in the power of saints' relics – and the gruesome fate awaiting some sceptics. If you're a fan of marvellous miracle stories, the fascinating history of the Catholic Church, and the odd gory martyrdom, you'll love our episode on medieval saints. If you want more from Rachel Parris, listen to our episode on Eleanor of Aquitaine. And for more on the history of Catholicism, check out our episodes on the Early Medieval Papacy, Medieval Ghost Stories and Benedetta Carlini. You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.

It is one of the largest gatherings of people in the world. More than 20 million Shia Muslim pilgrims gathered in the Iraqi city of Karbala this week for the annual commemoration of the 7th Century killing of a central figure of their faith. Iran is mostly Shia and this year greater numbers of Iranians participated in the pilgrimage, many say because of the killing of their modern-day religious leader. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed by airstrikes in the early days of the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran. We go to Karbala to hear from some Iranian pilgrims.  Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one. This show's perks include sponsor-free listening.

Send us Fan MailIf Brigid Brophy's The King of a Rainy Country had a soundtrack, it might include the soft patter of rain on a garret window, jazz drifting from a smoky cafe, the hum of a Vespa on narrow cobblestone streets … and the obnoxious griping of a few dozen uncultured Americans! As the description suggests, Brophy's 1956 novel has a little bit of everything  — atmosphere, nostalgia and poignancy mixed with subversive wit and madcap antics. Kim and Amy play “tour guide” examining Brophy's life and accomplishments, including this wonderfully quirky book, recently reissued by McNally Editions.Mentioned in this episode:Pilgrimage online Reading Group with The Sitting Room libraryLost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 116 on Dorothy RichardsonLost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 270 on The Sitting RoomPilgrimage by Dorothy RichardsonMcNally Editions The King of a Rainy Country by Brigid BrophyMarginalia article about Brigid Brophy and Iris Murdoch by Maria PopovaLost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 51 on Rosamond LehmannDusty Answer by Rosamond LehmannLost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 150 on Elizabeth SmartBy Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept by Elizabeth SmartLost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 184 on Elizabeth Taylor Vs.

"Who would do this? Next to the dumpster was a statue of the Virgin Mary. She was broken in half, hands missing, laying on her back and covered by dirt and garbage. And I heard the voice of Jesus saying to me, 'Will you deny me? Will you deny my mother?'" ---------- Former Chicago radio legend Kevin Matthews discovered an old, broken statue of the Blessed Mother that most people would have thrown away. Instead, "Broken Mary" became a powerful reminder that God doesn't discard broken people--He transforms them. In this episode, Kevin shares how a damaged statue helped reshape his faith, while Trapper Jack reflects on a broken white cane during a Medjugorje pilgrimage, recent vandalism of sacred statues there, and the surprising ways grace flows through life's fractures. If you've ever felt damaged, wounded, or beyond repair, this story offers a beautiful reminder: in God's hands, brokenness often becomes the beginning of something holy.

Moviewallas: Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass & Tony This week on Moviewallas, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi review two very different films. First up is Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, a wildly absurd comedy packed with rapid-fire jokes, celebrity cameos, fourth-wall breaks, and a surprising amount of sweetness. Then the team turns to Tony, Matt Johnson's moving portrait of the formative summer that set a young Anthony Bourdain on the path toward kitchens, writing, and the life that would eventually make him famous. Before the reviews, the hosts return to “I Can't Find Anything to Watch…” with three streaming recommendations: the heartfelt science-fiction adventure The Adam Project, the brutal medieval thriller Pilgrimage, and Ridley Scott's inventive historical drama The Last Duel. Streaming Picks The Adam Project – Netflix Rashmi recommends this warm and unexpectedly emotional science-fiction adventure starring Ryan Reynolds. Beneath the time-travel premise is a sweet story about family, regret, and second chances. Pilgrimage – Hulu Yazdi revisits this beautifully shot medieval action drama starring Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal. A novice monk and a mysterious former crusader must transport a sacred relic through dangerous territory. The Last Duel – Hulu Joe recommends Ridley Scott's powerful historical drama starring Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Jodie Comer, and Ben Affleck. Its ingenious structure allows the same events to unfold through several competing perspectives. t Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass When her fiancé acts on their celebrity-pass agreement, Midwest bride Gail Daughtry heads to Hollywood in search of a celebrity encounter of her own. Directed by David Wain and starring Zoey Deutch, the film assembles a huge comic cast that includes Jon Hamm, John Slattery, Ken Marino, Sabrina Impacciatore, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Ben Wang, and many more. The hosts discuss the film's relentless stream of jokes, its Wizard of Oz influences, its affectionate use of Hollywood caricatures, and the willingness of its celebrity cameos to completely make fools of themselves. It is ridiculous, exhausting, incredibly sweet, and, most importantly, genuinely funny. Tony Director Matt Johnson, whose previous film was BlackBerry, turns his attention to the early life of Anthony Bourdain. The film follows 19-year-old Bourdain as he arrives in Provincetown and stumbles into the chaotic world of restaurant kitchens. Rather than attempting to cover his entire life, Tony concentrates on one formative summer and the people who helped point him toward the career that would eventually define him. The team praises Dominic Sessa for capturing Bourdain's charm, arrogance, intelligence, and complexity without turning him into a saint. They also discuss the outstanding performances from Antonio Banderas, Leo Woodall, and Emilia Jones, the convincing recreation of the 1970s restaurant world, and the film's refusal to romanticize the brutal reality of kitchen work. Funny, moving, authentic, and made with enormous affection for Bourdain, this is a biopic that understands the value of focusing on the thing that led to the thing. Like, comment, and subscribe for spoiler-light film reviews, streaming recommendations, strong opinions, and general movie banter.

The final installment of a five-part pilgrimage to the 2026 BIG EARS festival. At Big Ears, the Polish pianist and composer moved between two modes: the orchestral expansiveness of her piano concerto Non Fiction with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, and the arpeggiated synth patterns of her solo electronic alter ego Chilling Bambino—a love letter to her Prophet 8 and a chance to escape the rigor of classical composition for smaller, weirder rooms. She discusses why she created the alias ("people who don't know Hania Rani can just enter with curiosity"), the value of creating space to think in an overscheduled world, and the festival's ethos of genre refusal, where listening means staying with what you don't yet understand.Sound Propositions should be available wherever you get your podcasts, so please keep an eye out and subscribe (and rate and review, it helps others who might be interested find us).

Reflections on Recent Pilgrimage to Medjugorje with 24 Year Old by Fr. Jason Brooks, LC

The fourth installment of a five-part pilgrimage exploring the 2026 BIG EARS festival.The drummer of LA quintet SML, Booker Stardrum reflects on the group's remarkable six-set residency, where groove-based improvisation pivoted from dance party to delicate texture, fueled by the rare alchemy of strong personalities who refuse to dominate. Stardrum also discusses Close-up On The Outside, his deep new solo album for We Jazz, a quiet meditation that showcases his unique compositional voice apart from his collaborators. Against the backdrop of a festival that felt like a love letter to LA's rise as a gravitational center for contemporary music, he notes the cross-pollination on display: “When we lock in, we lock in. It's an honor to play with musicians of that talent.”Sound Propositions should be available wherever you get your podcasts, so please keep an eye out and subscribe (and rate and review, it helps others who might be interested find us).

Henry VIII didn't break with Rome for faith. He broke with it for property.That's the part most history books leave in the margins. The standard story is that Henry wanted a divorce, Rome said no, and England broke away. But the real prize was never the marriage. It was sitting behind the monastery walls — land, silver, grain, charters, deeds — the largest concentrated wealth in England, waiting for a monarch with the administrative capacity to take it.Henry VII spent twenty-four years building that capacity. Bonds and recognizances that held roughly half the English peerage financially hostage. The Council Learned in the Law. The Chamber finance system. A government that could measure, monitor, and enforce. Then Cromwell arrived at court and recognized what his father-figure Wolsey had been extending — that the machinery pointed at the nobility could be pointed at the Church instead.The Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535 catalogued every religious house in England. The Court of Augmentations was purpose-built in 1536 to process the seizure. Between 1536 and 1540, roughly £1.3 million in monastic wealth transferred to the Crown — more than Henry VII had left in the entire treasury. Henry VII built the engine. Cromwell found the target. Henry VIII pulled the lever.════════════════════════════

Rev. Chris Durham, chaplain at Wittenberg Chapel serving LCMS students at the University of North Dakota, joins the show to discuss Augustine on the theme of pilgrimage — the Christian life as movement from a beginning through this present age toward final rest in God. The conversation starts in Scripture before turning to Augustine: Hebrews 4 and 11 on the promised Sabbath rest and the patriarchs who died as strangers and exiles seeking a better country, and 1 Peter's language of Christians as "elect exiles" on the way. These texts set a pattern — a real beginning, a center in Christ, and an end in the eternal city — against which Durham contrasts Neoplatonism, Augustine's own intellectual background before his conversion. For Plotinus and the Neoplatonists, the soul's return to "the One" is not a real destination but a perpetual, unending cycle with no true rest — a view Durham compares to modern nihilism and multiverse thinking, where there's motion but no goal. Durham then traces Augustine's own writings across time: the early Soliloquies, where the newly baptized Augustine already breaks from Neoplatonism and Manichaeism by affirming creation from nothing as good; and the Confessions, written years later from his position as bishop, where Augustine reads his own past through Scripture and famously confesses, "our heart is restless until it rests in you." Durham walks through Augustine's account of his conversion in the garden in Milan — the child's voice repeating "pick up and read," the reading of Romans 13, and the peace that followed — as the turning point where restlessness gives way to rest in Christ. The two also touch on Augustine's argument in City of God Book 12 against the eternity of the world, and draw out a running application: every worldly promise of peace or comfort — ancient or modern — ultimately fails to deliver what only Christ can give, a clean conscience through the forgiveness of sins and the sure hope of the rest to come. Topics covered: Biblical foundations of pilgrimage: Hebrews 4 and 11, 1 Peter 1 Neoplatonism and the "One" — creation as emanation without beginning or end Augustine's Soliloquies: early post-baptismal rejection of Neoplatonism and Manichaeism Augustine's Confessions: restlessness, the pear-theft episode, and the conversion in the garden City of God Book 12 on the world's createdness vs. its supposed eternity The false peace offered by worldly philosophies, ancient and modern Rest in Christ as the true end of the Christian pilgrimage

In this week's episode photographer and filmmaker Emily Garthwaite takes on our ‘Proust Photo Quiz'. The Proust Questionnaire is a set of questions answered by the French writer Marcel Proust. Proust answered the questionnaire in a confession album, a form of parlour game popular at the end of the 1890s. The album, titled An Album to Record Thoughts, Feelings, etc. was found in 1924 and published in the French literary journal Les Cahiers du Mois. Our ‘Proust Photo Quiz' is an adaption of the original text. Emily Garthwaite Garthwaite took up photography as a teenager intendeding to pursue painting at Central Saint Martins, but found herself studying Film and Photography. After working in club and fashion photography, she completed a Master of Arts in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the University of Westminster in 2016. It was when she visited India for the first time to scatter her grandmother's ashes in Assam, that she decided to work within photojournalism. The photographs from her months of travel through India were exhibited at the Norman Rea Gallery in 2014 under the title Afterlife. During the summer of 2015, Garthwaite worked with the Rațiu Family Charitable Foundation in Romania, where she documented the salt flats of Turda. In 2017, the Iranian Arts Institute invited her to photograph the Arba'een Pilgrimage, which instigated the series Iraq: Road to Arba'een. She co-directed her first feature-length documentary on the subject titled 41 Days in Iraq on Arba'een or The 40th Day, which screened in 2018 at the Chehelcheragh International Festival. In 2019 she spent time in Dearborn, Michigan capturing its local Muslim community and was named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. In 2020, she returned to Iraq, visiting the Zagros Mountains and Tigris River accompanying the Bakhtiari people on their Kooch migration. She exhibited A Journey Down the Tigris River at the Visa pour L'Image in Perpignan, where she won the 2023 ICRC Humanitarian Visa d'or Award, and Tears of the Tigris at the Leica Gallery London. Her project Light Between Mountains received a CCFD–Terre Solidaire grant, while her contributions to the Leon McCaron Noema essay The Last of the Marsh Arabs won her the 2022 Covering Climate Now Award for Photography. In 2024, Save the Children commissioned her to photograph the Yazidi community in Iraq 10 years on from the Yazidi genocide. She is a Leica Ambassador. www.emilygarthwaite.com Dr.Grant Scott After fifteen years art directing photography books and magazines such as Elle and Tatler, Scott began to work as a photographer for a number of advertising and editorial clients in 2000.

The third installment of a five-part pilgrimage exploring the 2026 BIG EARS festival. The harpist Mary Lattimore discusses her duo set with Julianna Barwick in a Knoxville church, where their ethereal songs took on added weight. She reflects on Tragic Magic, their recent full-length born from processing sadness while seeking sparkle, including a song written for them by Roger Eno and a cover of Vangelis' “Rachel's Song" bookended by field recordings of the first rain after the LA fires. She also discusses working with 18th century harps, scoring moving images, and why she likens the festival to summer camp.Sound Propositions should be available wherever you get your podcasts, so please keep an eye out and subscribe (and rate and review, it helps others who might be interested find us).

The second installment of a five-part pilgrimage exploring the 2026 BIG EARS festival. The Welsh guitarist brought her "Welsh primitive" to a dive bar in Knoxville—Appalachian fingerpicking channeled through 90s punk energy, delivered barefoot and shredding by noon with thumb picks in hand. She discusses reinvention over preservation (tradition, she says, is just "good licks"), her first-ever pilgrimage to Appalachia (and its surprising links to Wales), last year's ACL-beloved Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark, her recent WFMU live album, and her surprisingly effective duo with the "diametrically opposed" Hayden Pedigo.Sound Propositions should be available wherever you get your podcasts, so please keep an eye out and subscribe (and rate and review, it helps others who might be interested find us).

The first installment of a five-part pilgrimage exploring the 2026 BIG EARS festival. Chuck Johnson, known for his pedal steel work, talks about his sample-based solo drone set in St. John's Cathedral, a fitting stage to deliver tectonic, low-end rumbles and sustained harmonics, as documented on his live Caoine series. The episode also recaps the "Scoring the Story" panel, breaking down the grueling labor and ego-suspension required in film composing. Johnson also explains why this spacious, filter-driven shift felt like the next logical step for his practice, and how it has grown out of his recent practice as a DJ. Sound Propositions should be available wherever you get your podcasts, so please keep an eye out and subscribe (and rate and review, it helps others who might be interested find us).

What can a 173-mile pilgrimage teach a family about faith, resilience, and life together? Dave and Jll McLain join Pastor Nate on Together 4 Good to share how they walked the Camino de Santiago from Porto, Portugal, to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, with their four children. Along the way, aching feet, welcoming villages, fellow pilgrims, and small acts of generosity open into a conversation about family sabbaticals, resilience, faith milestones, and why shared challenges can make strangers feel like family.In This Episode•    The Camino's Christian roots and its modern life as a global pilgrimage route•    Why the McLains chose the Portuguese Way and walked 280 kilometers in 13 consecutive days•    How physical challenge creates resilience, perspective, and lasting family memories•    The scallop shell, pilgrim passport, and rituals that build connection along the way•    How hospitality and generosity let entire communities participate in a pilgrimageKey Takeaways•    Hard things become part of our toolbox. Completing a difficult journey gives us evidence that we can face the next challenge.•    Pilgrimage is communal. The marked path, shared symbols, fellow travelers, and hospitality of local communities remind us that faith is never practiced alone.•    Milestones matter. Camino stamps and certificates echo the faith markers—baptism, confirmation, a first Bible—that help us remember where we have been.•    Travel and time together are intentional investments. Encountering other cultures can nurture empathy while meaningful family experiences strengthen relationships into adulthood.Chapters00:00  Coming up — A Christian pilgrimage through Portugal and Spain—and what it reveals about faith and parenting.01:22  What is the Camino? — Dave traces the tradition of the Camino de Santiago and its modern revival.04:40  Following the Way — Jll explains the route markers, pilgrim infrastructure, and villages that welcome walkers.10:55  A family rhythm of sabbatical — Dave shares how extended family adventures grew from a commitment to work to live.14:42  Why this journey, why now — Their oldest daughter's idea becomes an invitation for the whole family.16:45  Planning lightly — Experienced travelers, last-minute gear, and a willingness to figure things out together.17:52  Thirteen days and 173 miles — The physical reality of walking about 14 miles a day—and when it finally began to feel possible.20:08  We can do hard things — Challenge, shared struggle, and the experiences that equip children for real life.22:00  Going through it — Why pilgrimage is not a resort experience, and how difficult moments can reshape us.24:44  The scallop shell — A visible sign of belonging creates camaraderie and practical care among pilgrims.27:26  Arriving in Santiago — The cathedral square, pilgrim's Mass, passport stamps, and certificates of completion.31:11  Generosity along the path — A box of plums becomes a picture of hospitality offered without recognition or thanks.32:39  A microcosm of faith — The Camino reflects the highs, lows, community, and milestones of a life of faith.33:43  Travel and empathy — Shared meals and cross-cultural experiences help form curiosity, tolerance, and love.34:58  Choosing time with adult children — Dave and Jll reflect on the privilege, sacrifice, and joy of saying yes to time together.

The effects of the Anointing of the Sick are numerous and deeply transformative. In times of great need and temptation, this sacrament brings us strength, courage, peace, and the forgiveness of sins. Fr. Mike explains that these effects aren't only for the individual recipient but for the whole ecclesial community. We learn that when a person approaches the threshold of death, joining this anointing with Reconciliation and the Eucharist as viaticum constitute “the sacraments that complete the earthly pilgrimage.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1520-1525. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

"All of this information was just flowing into me. I was hearing all the answers. This continual flow of answers. And I heard Him say, 'There are no questions here, only answers.'" ---------- Greg, known as the hydrogen man, spent much of his childhood wanting to die, convinced that God had ignored his cries for help. Years later, while sitting beside a river with a dangerously damaged heart, everything changed. A radiant, motherly woman of light appeared, embraced his brokenness and led him beyond the earth. He encountered a mysterious council that told him, "We've been waiting for you," before opening a doorway into the presence of the Father – vast, living and flowing like an infinite river. Water, Lourdes and hydrogen will become important parts of Greg's journey, but first comes the astonishing story of the woman, the council and the God he never expected to find.

KP has been coming on our show since nearly the first moment. His brother Joe also pops in from time to time. Today we're without Joe, but with plenty of stories about the Anderson family. We also ask why everyone is so hateful, because if we ask it enough we might one day get an answer.

"The doctor looked at us and said, 'Well, uh, it's not there.'  What? 'We closed him up. It's not there.' We just joyfully laughed!" ---------- When Sara learned her unborn son, Anthony, had a life-threatening heart defect, she didn't know what to ask God to do. She simply brought Him the problem. Like Mary at the wedding feast who quietly told Jesus, "They have no wine." What followed left doctors searching for answers. This is the story of a mother who didn't tell God what to do… she simply invited Him to come. And when He did… It was spectacular! ---------- Join Us October 2026 for a Pilgrimage to Medjugorje We invite you to embark with us this October 10th to 17th on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje--one of the most grace-filled and spiritually uplifting places we've ever encountered.

"I had to be obedient, right? And the Voice within me said to take the train." ---------- When Anita heard an inner voice in prayer name another state where she was to go and live, she dismissed it. The voice returned with more clarity. God was calling her to leave everything behind and go where He was sending her. The instruction was specific: take the train. Anita boarded, unaware that heaven had already provided her, an angel, to guide her. ---------- Join Us October 2026 for a Pilgrimage to Medjugorje We invite you to embark with us this October 10th to 17th on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje--one of the most grace-filled and spiritually uplifting places we've ever encountered.
