Thence the universe resounds
 With a joyful cry  I AM. These are the final lines of Alexander Scriabin's epic Poem of Ecstasy, a 300-line poem that takes nearly 10 minutes to read aloud and is one of the most surreal texts in the world. Scriabin wrote a Poem of Ecstasy in text and a Poem of Ecstasy in music simultaneously. Both are absolutely wild, with the musical Poem of Ecstasy being a 20-minute thrill ride that alternates between languid, sinewy, seductive music and some of the loudest, most over-the-top, and dramatic music that could possibly exist. I've always been fascinated by Scriabin, and so this week's episode is an opportunity to talk about his wild (I'm going to be using that word a lot today) life and the eclectic philosophy behind Scriabin's works, as well as to take you through this masterpiece of musical sensuality. Scriabin not only doesn't shy away from sensual aspects in music but instead fully embraces them; in fact, the original title for this piece was Orgiastic Poem! Thankfully, since the piece probably would have never been performed with that title, Scriabin changed the name to Poem of Ecstasy, and the piece has stayed in the repertoire of most big orchestras ever since. And big is the key word here, because this piece is written for an absolutely massive orchestra. Like a Mahler symphony, the Poem of Ecstasy is an event whenever it is performed, simply from seeing the sheer size of the orchestra on stage when you see this piece live in concert. It is truly an overwhelming experience to listen to this piece, and I can't wait to share it with you this week. Join us!

Matthew Toffolo interviewed George Sarantopoulos about his poem "Inheritance," which has been adapted into a movie. George explained that the poem is written as a letter to a son he hasn't had yet, addressing uncomfortable truths about the world being built on violence and the need for protection. He discussed his personal connection to these themes through his father's military service during the Vietnam War and his own battle with prostate cancer, which led him to begin writing poetry as therapeutic outlet. George shared his concerns about modern parenting approaches, arguing that children are being coddled too much and not being prepared for life's challenges, while also noting how cancer treatment affected his mental health and the importance of therapy in the healing process. —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

The racing was boring but the soap opera never is. Sachsenring delivered more off track drama than on but the key word is 'drama'. That's all the boys need to build an episode and this is one of their best. Throw in Borrie's Poem, an email from Jack and George's take on the 'Mav situation' and it's hard to believe you haven't already pressed 'Play'. Or signed up for the Patreon Pit Crew. But you can fix both of those things right now and not only will it elevate you in the eyes of your friends and colleagues but it will give us money to spend on strippers and beer.

Today, we end our 12-week study of the Odyssey with a discussion on Books 23-24 with Dr. Justin Jackson and Dr. Benedict Whalen of Hillsdale College alongside host, Dcn. Harrison Garlick.There is yelling, laughter, cursing, and general chaos--but more of Homer's truth is unearthed in the process.Check out our ONLINE LIBRARY for resources on the great books.Check out Dr. Justin Jackson's Substack working through the Bible.Check out Dr. Justin Whalen at Hillsdale College.The long-awaited homecoming unfolds with Odysseus and Penelope's emotional reunion, the famous test of the immovable olive-tree bed, and the climactic confrontation with the suitors' vengeful families. The conversation crackles with insight as the guests unpack Penelope's cunning, Odysseus' complex character, parallels to Achilles and Heracles, and the poem's meditation on fidelity, mortality, justice, and the costs of homecoming.Dr. Jackson brings contrarian fire—challenging heroic ideals, celebrating the domestic, and wrestling openly with whether Odysseus' reckoning is justice or raw revenge—while Dr. Whalen offers sharp textual observations on themes of rootedness, temptation, and the poem's unresolved tensions.Expect yelling, laughter, heartfelt disagreement, and the kind of raw intellectual energy that makes great books come alive.Whether you've followed the whole series or are just dipping in, this capstone will leave you rethinking everything you thought you knew about the Odyssey. Stick around after the discussion for a look ahead at Plato's Republic and more. If you love the Great Books, this is unmissable.Chapters00:00 - Introduction: Finishing the Odyssey Journey04:46 - Host Welcome & Episode Setup06:27 - Guest Introductions: Dr. Justin Jackson & Dr. Benedict Whalen07:04 - Dr. Jackson's New Book on Reading Literature16:28 - Diving into Book 23: Penelope Learns Odysseus Has Returned21:07 - Penelope's Skepticism & the Secret Signs25:05 - The Great Rooted Bed Test & Recognition Scene36:36 - Odysseus & Penelope Reunion, Emotional Moments47:05 - The Final Labor & Comparison to Heracles59:11 - Temptations: Calypso, Nausicaa & Penelope1:11:32 - Transition to Book 24: Laertes & the Avenging Families1:15:26 - Achilles & Agamemnon in the Underworld1:35:02 - Reunion with Laertes & Proof Scenes1:49:10 - Dolius, the Final Battle & Deus Ex Machina Ending2:11:04 - Reflections on Justice, Revenge & the Poem's Message2:16:50 - Closing Thoughts & Upcoming EpisodesKeywordsOdyssey Books 23 and 24, Homer's Odyssey finale, Odysseus Penelope reunion, rooted bed test, immovable olive tree bed, suitors slaughter, Ithaca homecoming, Penelope cunning, Odysseus homecoming, Great Books podcast, Ascend podcast, Hillsdale College professors, Dr. Justin Jackson, Dr. Benedict Whalen, Homer teacher philosopher, Telemachus maturation, Achilles Agamemnon underworld, Laertes reunion, Poseidon penitential journey, justice vs revenge Odyssey, classical literature podcast, Western canon Odyssey analysis, father son reunion Odyssey, Penelope faithfulness, heroic fate comparison, Plato Republic preview.

This sermon is based on Romans 10:14-15. You can also view each week’s sermon/worship service on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5ncsq_QNvCv61bIwKUpP5A SERIES OVERVIEW: Anne Lamott wrote: “Poetry is the official palace language of Wow.” If she is right (and I certainly am not going to argue with the brilliant Anne Lamott), then this series is pure poetry because it is pure wow. All I can do is look back at all that God has done in our church and say, “Wow!” And all I can do is look at how God is even now showering down his grace on us. And that also drives me to say, “Wow!” And hope compels me to look excitedly toward our future as a church because I know that he who began a good work in us is just getting started. The best is yet to come! And that makes me break out in pure poetry, a poem that begins and ends with “Wow!” God's blessings surround us! Disclaimer: No part of this series (not even a paragraph!) will be spoken in poetic verse. If I did that, that would be a “wow” in the wrong direction.

How do you know if someone is truly a great leader? In a world obsessed with results, status, and influence, it's easy to overlook the one quality that ultimately determines whether leadership leaves people better—or worse.In this episode, I explore what makes real leadership through the lens of quotes from Cleo Wade and Mahatma Gandhi. We discuss why moral character matters more than charisma, why the "ends justify the means" is a dangerous philosophy, how leaders shape culture, and the questions we should ask before following anyone—whether they're politicians, CEOs, filmmakers, entrepreneurs, or creators. If you're interested in leadership, personal growth, ethics, business, or becoming someone others can trust, this episode is for you.Topics Covered: Why results alone don't make someone a great leader The hidden cost of "the ends justify the means" The Cleo Wade quote that changed how I view leadership Gandhi's warning about temporary victories Why love is often misunderstood as weakness How dishonest leaders shape toxic cultures The leadership questions everyone should ask before following someone Why character outlasts success How to lead even without a leadership title The difference between influence and integrity Why great leaders make other people better How to become the kind of leader others trust

Just as the moon reflects the light of the sun, the true believer reflects the light of God. The person who truly loves God will strive to be like Him. Next time, on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice we'll be studying Psalm 112, a Psalm that describes the person who honestly fears the Lord and delights in His laws.

The goodness of God is displayed in His works. It's a rather obvious statement to the believer, yet the unbeliever often fails to see the miraculous in the obvious.

We're belatedly celebrating America's birthday, and reminiscing about the bicentennial furniture craze of 1976. Susie read the book Into Thin Air about the 1996 Everest tragedy where many climbers perished, and the unintended consequences of the book. We discuss the Mel Robbins' book, Let Them, and the allegations that the idea was "stolen" from a viral poem, and we find out why certain things are not covered by copyright rules and intellectual property limits. We talk about the lawsuit between Patagonia and a drag queen named, Pattie Gonia, where the company is having to protect their trademark, but is inspiring ire from the TikTok community who are defending their queen. We hear why Japanese women are calling for the men in their country to be as committed to contributing to the domestic labor as they are at soccer stadiums where they've gotten a lot of attention for cleaning up after games. We giggle about dads who don't know the details about their children's lives. And we learn some fun facts about album titles.00:00 - America's Bicentennial and Furniture Style Trends03:11 - Our New Family Member: Luna Louise Adoption Story08:17 - Jon Krakauer's Everest: Egoism and Altitude Sickness29:30 - Mel Robbins' "Let Them": Idea Theft and Copyright42:59 - Trademark Battle: Patagonia Company vs. Drag Queen53:03 - World Cup Clean-Up vs. Japanese Domestic LaborBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get 40% off your first order PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/braincandy and use code braincandyThis episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. The Witch of Whidbey is here to stir up some magic as we celebrate our country's 250th birthday. 250 years old is a lot of years. Together we've done some things wrong and some things better. How do we collectively correct the wrongs and improve the better? We fall in love with the narratives that reflect our best selves and we share them with each other in two ways.   Connect250, StoryCorps and NPR's Morning Edition are bringing strangers together for recorded conversations about their lives to mark the 250th anniversary of our nation. These conversations will go to the Library of Congress, to become part of American history. You are invited to register for a 40-minute video conversation with an American you've never met, and help create a time capsule of American voices in honor of our nation's 250th birthday.
