On this episode of ID The Future from our archive, host Andrew McDiarmid welcomes astrophysicist Guillermo Gonzalez back to the program to read and discuss his poem "Totality: A Celestial Theater," written to commemorate the total solar eclipse that occurred in April 2024. You may already be familiar with Gonzalez's popular book The Privileged Planet, co-authored with Dr. Jay Richards, unpacking the arguments for our privileged place in the cosmos. You might also have heard about his new young adult novel The Farm at the Center of the Universe, co-written with Dr. Jonathan Witt. But you likely didn't know this accomplished scientist and author is also a poet! Listen as Gonzalez discusses and then reads his poem aloud. Source

This podcast provides a comprehensive guide to Pablo Neruda's poem, "Keeping Quiet," specifically tailored for students preparing for board exams. It outlines the core themes of peace, global brotherhood, and environmental conservation while offering a detailed breakdown of the text's stanzas and vocabulary. The material includes an analysis of literary devices such as symbolism and alliteration to help learners understand the poet's call for introspective silence. Additionally, the source features practical study aids like NCERT solutions, competency-based questions, and past exam inquiries to reinforce student comprehension. By exploring the concept of productive stillness, the text distinguishes between total inactivity and the necessary pause required for humanity's survival. Ultimately, the site serves as a structured academic tool for mastering both the literal and philosophical layers of the poem.Download Episode Playbook belowhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1FVfPGClMC7T4jQvkmYydiizYMbJeMy1J/view?usp=sharingDownload podcast transcript below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fp84ZakbfSMnFUGtW_kjqbw0u_KMUa9B/view?usp=sharing

Born During Apartheid, She Heard God's Voice as a ChildBorn in Rhodesia during apartheid and raised in a Hindu home, Trupti grew up facing racial segregation, and a violent home life. At age 4, she was forgotten at home when her father had a near-fatal suicide attempt. It was then she first clearly heard God's loving presence call out to her. When 12 years old, she heard a voice tell her she would leave her country and be sent "into the world." Her journey took her from Zimbabwe to London to America, through a painful marriage, and ultimately to a life-changing encounter with Jesus.“Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, ‘You are a God who sees me.'” Genesis 16:13In this Parent Compass episode as well, Trupti's children share what it's been like growing up with a mother who survived so much — and how her faith and resilience shaped their family.In her book, Esther's Soul: God's Love for Such a Time as This, available on Amazon, Trupti Desai poetically shares her journey from the dusty floors of an abandoned storefront in Zimbabwe to the stage at the Miss India Pageant and beyond. Heart-warming verse paints an image of overcoming obscurity, rejection, pain, abuse, and other entrapments. And the seeker within, always searching for the one thing, the one Person who can fill the emptiness sings these modern-day Psalms now that she has found a relationship with Jesus.A Poem by Trupti: releasing her from bondage to freedom in Christ“If the Son (Jesus Christ) sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36 NIVTRAPPEDMy life like a bird trapped in a dark cageNo idea of how to be freeHard to breathe. Cannot move. StuckSurviving in the only world I knowGod whispers in my ear fly little bird the door is open. You can be freeI look out for a moment. My heart leaps as it envisions a future that could beBut I am scared to leave as the cage comforts meIt is the only world I know. I resist. God persists.Years of whispers. Tempted by the open door.I escape the cage for moments, only to be attacked once more.Back to the cage the place that comforts meStuck not free, but the only world I know.Gods voice calls louder and says little bird be freeHow God how? Please stay with me.It is all an illusion. You are deceived.My mind transforms and now I seeI trapped myselfFly bird fly be free.I leave the cage. My life expands. I can breathe and I am free.God whispers in my ear be the eagle you were meant to bePossibilities are endless. A sense of power runs through me. I soar intothe sky and the world discovers the true me.I once was trapped and now I am freeTo have a conversation about Christ or to ask for prayer text or call 817-760-2643, or click the blue chat button in the right lower corner on parentcompass.tv.To be emailed information about Christ fill out the form at parentcompass.tv/know-christ.Subscribe for more true stories at parentcompass.tv/subscribe.

From its opening lines, it's clear that PARADISO is not like what has come before in COMEDY. Dante seems to be renegotiating the terms of his poem, establishing a new voice, a new model, and a new methodology for who he will proceed.These opening lines are already packed with the sort of theological and philosophical stumbling blocks that make PARADISO a challenge, not just for a modern reader, but even for a medieval one.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we slowly walk throug the first twelve lines of what is assuredly the most imaginative canticle, PARADISO.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[02:42] My English translation of PARADISO, Canto I, lines 1 - 12. If you'd like to read along, please find the entry for this episode on my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:56] The glory of the unmoved mover.[09:39] The varying illuminations of the universe.[13:27] The finite geography of heaven.[15:54] A passing glance at the highest heaven.[17:34] Dante and St. Paul, renegotiated.[19:25] The interrelations of desire, intellect, memory, and potentially Beatrice.[22:23] The memory of a memory--or knowing by not knowing, the core of the aphophatic revelation.[29:37] The key paradox of the mystical experience: the cross-currents of the material and the immaterial.[33:02] The resurrection of Brunetto Latini.[35:25] Rereading the passage: PARADISO, Canto I, Lines 1 - 12.

This sermon is based on Romans 13:8-10. 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.

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!

Both retired college professors, Cording and Maddox also address contemporary Americans' hesitance regarding and anxiety about reading poetry as they likewise discuss how their craft enables readers to feel welcome when encountering their poetry.

A poem by Joshua Luke Smith as read by Jason Campbell.Oh God, my thoughts of you have been too small, and they have been too few.Lift my eyes, so I can see youAbove my cynicism, and the sin that sinks beneath my bones, blood, muscles, and sinewRemind me that I am in you.And in everything I have been through, you have been there.There has never been a millisecond or a second of your attention that has been elsewhere.You are the God who makes a way on my darkest, most desperate days, parts the reddest waves and holds me in your gaze and offers me a tender grace.You are the God who made the mountain range, made the EvergladesYou are the God who paints the details on the wings of a hummingbird.You are the God who carves out canyons and pours out oceansYou thought of the supernova explosion.You wrote the code to DNA and spoke the whole cosmos into beingYou are the God who gave David the aim that made a giant's graveYou are the God who made Daniel sleep like a baby in a lion's caveYou're the God who made it rain like fire when Elisha prayedYou're the God who changed a nation with a child of Josiah's ageYou're the God of the infinite and the infinitesimalYou are the God of the metaphysical and the invisibleThe God of quarks, quantums, protons, and the poet's psalmYou are the God of every nation, generation, tribe, and tongueYou are the God who was, and is, and is to come, whose holy throne will never be overthrownWho makes justice run like a mighty floodAnd by your blood and final death, you poured out love, and you have conquered death.O God, any attempt to define you, only confines youYou are the God who was, and is, and is to come.And you are holy, and all of this is trueBut my thoughts of you have been too small, and they have been too few.You are holy.A poem by: Joshua Luke Smith

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with internationally acclaimed poet and biographer of women's creativity, Molly Peacock about her collection, The Widow's Crayon Box (WW Norton & Co, 2025)--a book-length sequence of poems that dares to affirm the vast variety of emotional colors in loss and rejuvenation. After her husband's death, Molly Peacock realized she was not living the received idea of a widow's mauve existence but instead was experiencing life in all colors. These gorgeous poems—joyful, furious, mournful, bewildered, sexy, devastated, whimsical and above all, moving—composed in sonnet sequences and in open forms, designed in four movements (After, Before, When, and Afterglow)—illuminate both the role of the caregiver and the crystalline emotions one can experience after the death of a cherished partner. With her characteristic virtuosity, her fearless willingness to confront even the most difficult emotions, and always with buoyancy and zest, Peacock charts widowhood in the twenty-first century. About Molly Peacock: Molly is the author of eight volumes of poetry, including The Widow's Crayon Box, The Analyst: Poems and Cornucopia: New & Selected Poems, all from W.W. Norton, she recently wrote a book about a half-century friendship, A Friend Sails in on a Poem. As a poetry activist, Peacock was the co-founder of Poetry in Motion on New York's subways and buses, the founder of The Best Canadian Poetry series, and the creator of The Secret Poetry Room at Binghamton University.

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.

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.

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.
