Conocido como "Cool Air" en inglés, es un relato que Howard escribió en 1926, pero fue publicado hasta 1928 en la revista Tales of Magic and Mystery.Esta es la primera vez que leo Aire Frío de Lovecraft, un relato que me gustó mucho y que sin duda, me transportó a imaginar los rostros, las calles, la casa, los detalles de todo lo que en este universo habitaba.Como dato curioso, Howard se inspiró en "El Extraño Caso del Señor Valdemar" de Poe. Así que próximamente también lo estaré grabando y subiendo.Este relato ha sido regrabado, ya que en el momento en que lo grabé, no le hice la justicia que merece al ser leído. Espero este sea de su agrado.

BUY THE ALBUM HERE! Alright, this week we're drinking the blood from Oedipus's eyes with returning guest and friend of the show, the great Russell Sbriglia to talk about his new album Critique of Pure Desire which, according to Ryan Engley, sounds like if King Crimson were throwing an Eyes Wide Shut party. The album is a psychedelic mix of philosophy, psychoanalysis, literature, and film through Slavoj Žižek, Lacan, Hegel, Hitchcock, Melville, Antigone, Hamlet, Poe, Blade Runner, Chopin, La Jetée…and even features guest vocals from Žižek himself.We're talking the critique of pure desire, the strange logic of retroactivity, failed interpellations, hysterics, the split within the law, and future histories…Russ is Associate Professor of English at Seton Hall, co-editor with Slavoj of Subject Lessons, editor of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Literature but Were Afraid to Ask Žižek, and the band Misconstruity.Big thanks to Russ — and if you're quick, the first two listeners to email zizekandsoon@gmail.com will get a copy of the album.And yes, Tim is still away…last I heard he reckoned that he's being followed by a chorus of old men who keep lamenting his decisions and spoiling the plot of his life…however I want to take this chance to say that Tim's first book has just been published with Palgrave: A Lacanian-Hegelian Perspective on Peace and Conflict Studies. It's now out in the world and you should all check it out. Congrats, Tim. Extra fish-head soup for you!GET TIM'S BOOK HERE!See you in Paris, Ž&…

La Biblioteca Universal de Misterio y Terror (1981-1982) de UVE y editado por José Antonio Valverde. Su extensión era de poco más de cien páginas y contenía unos seis u ocho cuentos por volumen. Entre esos relatos, tendía a incluirse el de algún autor consagrado, siendo los más frecuentes Poe, Stoker y Le Fanu. Sus firmas más prolíficas, entre los escritores autóctonos, fueron Pedro Montero, José León Cano, Daniel Tubau o José Luis Velasco. A veces utilizaban pseudónimos, probablemente con la intención de disimular sus reiteradas aportaciones en un mismo número y de evitar que resultase evidente la escasa nómina de autores que participaban. El arte de la colección corrió a cargo del dibujante Vicente Briasco, que se encargó de las ilustraciones que encabezaban algunas historias y de las portadas. Estas siguieron una tónica similar en los treinta primeros volúmenes: representaban el rostro de una monstruosidad. En este Podcast puedes encontrar estos dos relatos: Cangrejos, de Pedro Montero Robinson, de Pedro Montero ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌛Ya está disponible el formulario para reservar tu caja de las 13 Lunas 🕯 Dentro no solo hay objetos.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity - Episode 442 Was He Drunk? I should hope that after you have listened to the preceding episode, the name of Dr. John Robertson should be familiar to you. In case it is not, Dr. John Robertson was a neurologist and an avid collector of Poe's works who, in his 1921 study "Edgar A. Poe: A Study," argued that Poe suffered from a form of epilepsy, specifically complex partial seizures. He contended that these seizures, rather than just substance abuse, were the underlying cause of Poe's erratic behavior and many of the "spells" or "fits" documented by his contemporaries.Robertson's Main PointsPoe's "Spells" as Complex Partial Seizures: Robertson, writing from a 20th-century neurological perspective, reinterpreted the anecdotal descriptions of Poe's "spells" or "brain fever" as symptoms of complex partial seizures. These seizures, often originating in the temporal lobe, were not well understood in the 19th century and could be mistaken for insanity or drunkenness. Robertson argued that symptoms like staring, personality changes, mutism, and amnesia, which were described by Poe's acquaintances, were highly consistent with this diagnosis.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
Send us a textIn dieser Folge des Bakerhouse Gallery Kunst-Quickie geht es um die Schockwelle, die 2025 durch den internationalen Kunstmarkt geht: Weltweit reiht sich eine Galeriepleite an die nächste – von der traditionsreichen Blum & Poe bis zur Clearing Gallery. Aus diesen Fällen ergibt sich ein klares Bild: Das klassische Galerie-Modell steckt in einer tiefen Krise. Ich gehe der Frage nach, warum so viele Häuser scheitern, und analysiere anschließend den aktuellen Artsy Gallery Report 2025, der schonungslos zeigt, welche Faktoren Online über Erfolg oder Untergang entscheiden. Zum Abschluss nehme ich dich mit nach Korea, wo die Galerie K in einen Skandal von mehr als 70 Millionen Euro verwickelt ist – ein Fall, der in Europa bislang fast niemandem bekannt ist.Ein Quickie ist diese Episode nur dem Namen nach: Mit knapp 22 Minuten ist sie ein intensiver Rundumblick auf die brisanten Realitäten des Kunstmarktes 2025.
Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity Episode 441 - Did Poe Have Epilepsy?As many of you know, I used to work at the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond Virginia - my favorite room in the entire museum, and one of my favorite places in the entire world, is the Virginia Poe room name for the mother of Edgar Allan Poe. Now this building contains an excellent collection of the writers works - original editions of everything from Hans Pfall - for obvious reasons, the museum takes stringent security measures - security concerns and actions which I don't even begin to understand - nor would I want to. The reason that I am talking about this collection is that it was given to the museum by a Dr. John Robertson - he not only had deep pockets, but was a neurologist - a brain doctor - and a genuine expert on the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe. He wrote a huge book about Poe's life - especially from from a neurological standpoint - and in the following episodes I would like to address some of his findings regarding America's Shakespeare - especially where Dr. John Robertson connected his medical expertise to his passion for Poe's works. And a look at Dr. Robertson's findings are especially relevant when looking at any possible connection of Edgar Allan Poe and seizure disorders.As mentioned before, Dr. John W. Robertson's (1856-1934) was a neurologist and author who was a prominent Poe collector. His collection of Poe's works and memorabilia was substantial and is noted to have included original manuscripts and rare editions. He was a benefactor of the Poe Museum in Richmond and is also listed as having placed a plaque at a cemetery with the museum's founder, James H. Whitty. This deep interest in Poe's life and his writings went beyond simple collection; it fueled his professional endeavors.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Send us a textWelcome to celebrate creativity - my name is George Bartley and this is episode 437 - the Second of a two part series - Poe's Creativity - Part TwoMr. Poe - you know I I'm very curious about your writing - and the effects you attempted to generate - Would you say that you were a stylist?Indeed, Mr. Bartley, I would say that I am a stylist, and in the most deliberate and uncompromising sense of the word. Style, to me, is not a mere flourish or a decorative element to be draped over a story's frame. It is the very foundation of the work, the precise and calculated means by which a particular effect is achieved.I am a stylist in my relentless pursuit of "Unity of Effect." I believe that a work of art, be it prose or poetry, must be a complete and coherent experience. Every word, every sentence, every rhythm and cadence is chosen not for its individual beauty, but for its contribution to the single, overarching mood I wish to evoke. When I write of a decaying mansion, the language itself must feel as if it is crumbling. When I write of a man's descent into madness, the very structure of the sentences must become a reflection of his unraveling mind.My style is also a reflection of my belief in the power of sound and rhythm. I hold that the ear is as important as the eye in receiving a work of art. My poems, such as "The Raven," are meticulously crafted with assonance, alliteration, and internal rhyme, not as poetic tricks, but as a hypnotic drumbeat that lulls the reader into a state of profound melancholy. The repetition of "Nevermore" is not just a word; it is a tolling bell, a final, inescapable sound that echoes the narrator's despair.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity - my name is George Bartley and this is episode 436 - the first of a two part series - Poe's Creativity - Part OneFirst I have a confession to make - her somehow got the last two audio files, their titles, and numbers mixed up - it's very easy to do - I will definitely be sure to do all that I can to be sure that this doesn't happen again - and I hope I'm now back on track with this episode. I apologize for any inconvenience.Now, this and the following episode deal with Edgar Allan poe and creativity - first his creativity and poetry, then his creativity in relation to prose. And here is the ghost of Mr. Poe right now - a character that listeners to this podcast might be familiar with from earlier episodes, and a writer who will certainly return for many other future podcast episodes.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Here is an audio preview of one of the new shows coming out on our Strange Midnight AV YouTube channel. In all of our stress disappearing we basically created 4 different 80s Found Footage Horror ASMR(-ish) TV series. First, there's Lotho's Library of Classic Horrors, an '80s goth public access show where Lotho the Librarian whispers eerie tales pulled straight from classic masters of horror. Then we have Vision Quest Video Club, a series of unsettling guided meditations that feel like they've been beamed in from a dream you don't quite remember. There's also the OTS Student Assessment Tapes, inspired by those hearing and vision tests from school. The ones that may (or may not) have been a CIA experiment. And finally, Whispering Winnie, where a painting of a little girl springs to life to tell you twisted, uncanny versions of your favorite fairy tales. We will be putting out one episode on YouTube a week, the shows alternate, one week Vision Quest, next week Winnie, OTS, and Lotho and so on. But the first drop will be one of each, coming out Thursday August 14th at 6pm. As we mentioned in the intro, we don't wanna overload your feed, just wanted to share a few of them with you guys. @StrangeMidnightAV on YouTube, TikTok & IG. ____________________________ Tonight belongs to Lotho.
In this Technology Reseller News interview, Doug Green speaks with Dane Surkamer, VP of Global Channel Sales at Digi International, about how the IoT leader is teaming with TELCLOUD to tackle the huge POTS line replacement market. Digi, now in its 40th year, specializes in mission-critical wireless connectivity across industries such as healthcare, transportation, and utilities. Millions of legacy copper endpoints still in use can now be replaced with TELCLOUD's as-a-service POTS solution, integrated with Digi's EX50 5G cellular router and managed through Digi Remote Manager. “The EX50 being PoE-enabled means we can bring the device to where the service is, even in challenging locations like concrete basements,” Surkamer notes. “That flexibility is part of the value we bring to TELCLOUD's solution and to our partners.” The offering fits Digi's channel-first strategy and Digi360 model, giving partners simple SKUs, recurring revenue potential, and a customizable, pre-baked platform. Digi plans to expand partner enablement through alliances, training boot camps, and dedicated support resources. Digi TELCLOUD Press Release Digi Channel Partners Sign Up Visit www.digi.com

Send us a textWelcome to celebrate Poe episode 417 - Why Dickens Still Matters, Part OneThis first quote is from a George Gissing in 1898 - he famously said -I suppose that for at least five and 20 years of his life, there was not an English speaking household in the world where his name was not as familiar as that of any personal acquaintance, and where an illusion to characters of his creating could fail to be understood.And that creative person was none other than Charles Dickens. So I felt that a a brief look into Charles Dickens might be a good place to start in an examination of major 19th century writers.Therefore I gave the following prompt to Gemini:I am doing a podcast about using AI, as well as writers from the 19th century - such as Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson. But one author that I have failed to include is Charles Dickens. Could you write me an introduction of why Charles Dickens is important, especially to the concept of creativity.Why Charles Dickens Still Matters (Especially for Creativity)Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
Send us a textWelcome to celebrate creativity - pisode 423 - Poe the SwimmerI am going to be taking some time off from this podcast - I think I have had almost 30 episodes in the past month - and devote the time to just doing podcasts and doing them right - with the sound effects and some really fascinating subjects. As of today this podcast has had almost 23,000 downloads in nearly 100 countries and territories. Now for today - well, this episode is largely made up of content from an earlier podcast episode of celebrate Poe - and the information makes up the most downloaded episode by far in the series. When I started celebrate poe - now celebrate creativity - I expected maybe a handful of downloads at the most - but am amazed at how many people are interested in Edgar Alan Poe, his works, and his times - and now other areas of creativity.Today's podcast is about Poe's swimming across the James River when he was just fifteen - some say sixteen - years old. We don't have a great deal of documentation regarding that accomplishment, but the few sentences that were written regarding Poe's accomplishment at the time show us a physical side of the writer - and even his character - that we very often overlook. You know, when you do a podcast the subject stays on your mind, but you have to be careful - at least I do - that you don't start talking about a subject in conversation that nobody else is interested in. I know I could talk about Poe all day, but I could just see - ok, I have experienced it - people tactfully changing the subject because I am the only person who is interested in some little seemingly insignificant detail about Poe. But I have never been with a group that is not fascinated - in some way - by Poe's long distance swimming accomplishments. I mean, how many people can say they have swum 6 or 7 miles without stopping - all against the tide.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Send us a textWelcome to celebrate creativity formally celebrate pro - Episode 416 Why Use Gemini - In this podcast, one of the areas I want to emphasize is writing an effective prompt, and the information that can be gained from it. Now I had used Google Bard, Chat GPT, perplexity.ai, and Gemini (which I found out was originally Google bard and has become my favorite of the major AIs out there currently) and I wanted to ask Gemini which bot I should suggest for users of this podcast.I wanted some rather specific information, so some people might consider the prompt to be rather long - it's not that long, but I wanted it to cover the subject and explain what I wanted.Now I wrote to Gemini the following:I do a podcast where I plan to get into historical and literary research using AI - the podcast was previously called celebratepoe and has had 399 episodes in 100 countries and territories. But now I want to open it up to more subjects and have changed the name to celebrate creativity. Anyway, one topic that I inevitably will have to deal with is the choice of AI bot - I have personally used ChatGPT a great deal, as well as perplexity and Gemini (I have also used Google bard and I'm not sure about the relationship to Gemini.). I know ChatGPT is the favorite of numerous individuals, but I am concerned about the way that they seem to draw you in by subscribing to their service. And I have found ChatGPT to make major, major, major hallucinations - far more on the same topic than any other AI bought that I have used. I know that all this is largely a personal preference, but I currently use Gemini and have found it sleek and ultimately more accurate. So I'm going to recommend that people listening to my podcast use Gemini. Could you give me some information about Gemini - what it does, it's benefits, and why a new user should utilize it from your standpoint.Notice that by prompt I didn't mean a few words. Now this probably could've been done better in a sentence, but sometimes I tend to be worthy when I'm not sure about something. Note that I mentioned that I had had several hundred episodes and celebrate Poe, and a bit about my background regarding several Ai bots. - so it would know I'm not just starting out doing podcasts. I had a feeling that of course Gemini would naturally recommend Gemini - but I wanted to find out some reasons that another person might make that decision.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

For the 175th episode of Another Pass, we had to talk about a cult classic so cultish and such a classic that it demanded two separate panels! That's right! For a discussion on Starship Troopers, Case and Sam are joined by John Lestrange (The History Wizard), Samantha Perez, Keith Lehtinen, and Mitch Punpayuk! Would you like to know more? Music by Vin Macri and Matt Brogan Podcast Edited by Sophia Ricciardi Overview Episode 175 of 'Certain POV's Another Pass' podcast explores Starship Troopers, addressing its satirical elements and impact on audiences, featuring two distinct panels. Personal viewing experiences highlight how initial interpretations of the film changed over time, with multiple guests recognizing the underlying satire. The film's satirical intent often missed by audiences; Poe's Law indicates difficulty in distinguishing extreme satire from genuine claims without clear indicators. Elements of fascism illustrated in the United Citizen Federation's military service requirements and portrayal of authority figures with war injuries. Propaganda within the film includes false flag operations, demonstrating dehumanization of 'bugs' and justifying violent military actions. Johnny Rico's character illustrates an alt-right pipeline, showing the process of radicalization through military indoctrination and societal pressure. Significant differences between the original book and movie adaptation noted, including a shift in character motivations and depictions of technology. Production challenges included injuries during boot camp training and instances of disrupted filming, showcasing the difficulties faced by the crew. Cultural impact acknowledged, as Starship Troopers influenced franchises like Starcraft and Helldivers, with modern audiences resonating with its themes. New adaptations are in development, including a Sony project directed by Neil Blomkamp, indicating ongoing interest in the Starship Troopers franchise. Notes ️ Episode Introduction & Format (00:01 - 02:51) Episode 175 of 'Certain POV's Another Pass' podcast discussing Starship Troopers as a movie that overcame adversity. Two-panel format with different guest combinations to cover extensive discussion topics. First panel features Case Aiken, Sam Alicea, John Lestrange, and Samantha Perez focusing on sociological themes. Second panel includes Case Aiken, Sam Alicea, Keith Lehtinen, and Mitch Punpayuk discussing filmmaking aspects. Personal Experiences with Starship Troopers (04:08 - 16:01) Case Aiken saw it at age 13 in 1997, initially missed satirical elements, took it as straightforward action film. Sam Alicea watched at 16-17, uncomfortable with bugs but recognized something 'off' about the film. John Lestrange first viewing at age 7 when released, watched for first time yesterday with Holocaust studies background. Samantha Perez saw chopped TV versions as teenager, recently rewatched with fresh perspective. Keith Lehtinen was 14 when released, became aware of actors through this film, Dina Meyer was first crush. Mitch Punpayuk saw at 15, bought DVD before owning DVD player, waited two years to watch it. Satirical Elements & Reception Analysis (20:09 - 29:48) Movie functions as fascist propaganda satire but audiences often missed the satirical intent. Poe's Law applies - satirical expressions of extremist views indistinguishable from actual extremist views without clear indicators. 1997 timing problematic for satire reception - post-Cold War, pre-9/11 context limited audience understanding. Director Paul Verhoeven grew up in Nazi-occupied Netherlands, assumed audience familiarity with fascist themes. Susan Sontag's 'Fascinating Fascisms' (1975) referenced - Nazi ideal of 'brave, pretty and stupid' Aryan forces. ️ Fascist Society Elements (24:14 - 01:01:13) United Citizen Federation requires military service for citizenship and voting rights. All adult authority figures shown with missing limbs or severe scarring from military service. 14 characteristics of fascism present but modified - notably lacks typical gender hierarchy/sexism. Reproduction licensing system makes having children difficult for non-citizens. Public flogging and televised executions as standard punishments. Bug War Propaganda Analysis (30:42 - 40:12) Buenos Aires meteor attack potentially false flag operation rather than bug weapon. Mormon colony massacre on bug territory used as justification despite humans being invaders. 'Would you like to know more?' segments function as in-universe propaganda reels. Children encouraged to stomp bugs in disturbing propaganda scene. Brain bug capture presented as victory but war clearly being lost. ️ Character Development & Military Pipeline (51:47 - 01:00:16) Johnny Rico represents alt-right pipeline - young man radicalized through military indoctrination. Carmen Ibanez portrayed as ambitious, prioritizing military career over relationships. Dizzy Flores changed from male character in book to female love interest. Carl Jenkins represents military intelligence, disappears into classified operations. Sergeant Zim and Lieutenant Rasczak serve as father figures in military structure. Book vs Movie Adaptation (23:13 - 28:17) Originally titled 'Bug Hunt at Outpost 7' before being adapted to Starship Troopers. Director didn't finish reading Heinlein's book, called it 'too boring'. Mobile Infantry in book wore powered armor with jump jets, removed due to budget/wire work complexity. Bugs more technologically advanced in book, movie presents them as purely biological. Buenos Aires not Rico's hometown in book, major plot change for personal motivation. Production Challenges & Behind-the-Scenes (39:34 - 07:35) Cast underwent intensive boot camp training, Casper Van Dien and Dina Meyer sustained injuries during filming. Intoxicated crew member mentioned bomb on flight, disrupting production travel. Pre-visualization test at Vasquez Rocks convinced TriStar to fund after Waterworld concerns. 15-foot practical ship models used alongside CGI for space scenes. Starship Trooper armor reused in multiple productions including Power Rangers, Firefly, Planet of the Apes. Special Effects & Technical Aspects (08:52 - 06:24) Mix of practical and CGI effects particularly effective for bug creatures. Netflix 4K viewing shows quality variations, some scenes appear grainy especially green screen backgrounds. Brain bug close-ups noted as particularly disturbing and well-designed. Space scenes generally poor quality except for specific flight sequences. Cultural Impact & Legacy (14:18 - 17:26) Starcraft, Warhammer 40K, and Helldivers directly influenced by Starship Troopers aesthetics. Five-movie franchise plus Roughnecks CGI TV series expanded universe. Modern resonance with current political climate makes satirical elements more apparent. Gif culture frequently references film during political tensions. Cast & Casting Decisions (17:18 - 21:57) Unknown actors cast intentionally to look 'authentically young' but appear older due to training. Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon auditioned for Rico role. Dina Meyer originally read for Carmen, chose Dizzy role instead. Neil Patrick Harris commentary recorded pre-How I Met Your Mother fame. Character actors include Amy Smart, Seth Gilliam, Timothy Omundson in small roles. Audience Reception & Box Office (15:07 - 20:09) Test audiences disliked Carmen character, preferred Dizzy. Critical reception missed satirical intent, even thoughtful reviewers uncertain. Box office made budget back but not considered major success. Cult classic status developed over time as satirical elements became more apparent. Thematic Analysis (34:39 - 51:47) Dehumanization through 'bug' imagery parallels historical genocidal rhetoric. Violence as societal foundation explicitly stated in film's philosophy. Military-industrial complex critique through endless war presentation. Youth radicalization process demonstrated through Rico's character arc. Future Adaptations (13:51 - 13:51) Sony developing new Starship Troopers adaptation directed by Neil Blomkamp. Helldivers movie also in development as spiritual successor.
