Podcasts about praz

Oleg and Praz are on hand to talk about Andy's ultra-scientific similarity score comps of the Cubs and they see the results from a much better team. They also discuss the ludicrous idea that Petecrow is lagging in the All-Star voting because he's "unlikeable" when the real reason is far more obvious. They discuss what the Cubs trade deadline strategy should be while making fun of the Bleacher Nation take on it. They also wonder when Alex Bregman is going to do anything at Wrigley and why Nico and Bregman's struggles have made Dansby's seem even worse than they already are. And in real time they watch Edward Cabrera suffer two groin injuries and Petecrow get thrown out stealing on a walk, Ronny Cedeno-style. All that, and more.

You'd think that with the Cubs playing this poorly for this long that the sweet relief of elimination would be on the way, but the third Wild Card means nobody is ever out of it, no matter how bad they are. Oleg and Praz are on the case to discuss what's not working with the Cubs, how Petecrow the leadoff man inexplicably is, and why Ian Happ's 1,000th hit turned into yet another embarrassment for the draft record of this hapless franchise.

Les femmes votent depuis 1971, mais qu'en est-il ensuite en matière de politique familiale ? Si les femmes travaillent toujours plus à l'extérieur, elles conservent malgré tout la grande exclusivité du travail ménager. Ce travail gratuit devient un objet de débat, toujours actuel. Anne-Françoise Praz est historienne et elle s'intéresse en particulier à l'histoire de la famille et des femmes. Sarah Kiani enseigne à l'université de Neuchâtel en études genre. Elle est également réalisatrice de cinéma et l'autrice de De la révolution féministe à la Constitution. Mouvement des femmes et égalité des sexes en Suisse (1975-1995) (Editions Antipodes). Pauline Milani, historienne, enquête sur l'histoire des antiféministes. Elle est l'autrice de Iris von Roten et Femmes sous surveillance, une dénonciation de l'antiféminisme (Cahiers d'histoire du mouvement ouvrier, 2022). Charlène Calderaro est doctorante au Centre en Etudes Genre de l'Université de Lausanne. Elle s'intéresse aux dynamiques d'institutionnalisation des droits des femmes en France et en Angleterre. Brigitte Studer, historienne et autrice de La conquête d'un droit-Le suffrage féminin en Suisse, (Editions Alphil).

Les femmes et la loi, c'est toujours une affaire en cours. Peu de droits, pas de droits, alors que dit vraiment la loi ? Nous recevons Anne-Françoise Praz, professeure en histoire contemporaine à l'Université de Fribourg, spécialiste de l'histoire de l'enfance et de la jeunesse, de l'histoire du genre, des politiques de population et de sexualité.

Maîtriser sa trajectoire de vie passe aussi par le choix d'avoir des enfants, à quel moment et avec qui. Mais avant la commercialisation de la pilule contraceptive en 1961 et la liberté d'avorter en 2002, c'est une affaire clandestine et souvent scandaleuse. Anne-Françoise Praz, historienne et professeure à Fribourg, a publié “Morales sexuelles et luttes féministes”, Nouvelles Questions Féministes (avec Marta Roca et Eléonore Lépinard) (Editions Antipodes, 2016).

The Cubs have sunk to yet another low, now losers of 10 in a row, and Oleg and Praz are here to discuss what there is to be done. They wonder why the Cubs called up Kevin Alcantara if they don't bother to ever play him, worry about Ian Happ's inability to hit one of his patented eighth-inning homers when down by eight runs, and debate what's up with Alex Bregman. They also discuss how their inability to find pitching like the Brewers continues to doom them. Plus, how poorly would Shohei have to hit to not win MVP if he wins the Cy Young. All this, and more.

The Cubs offense has gone MIA for a few days, but the bigger issue going forward is making sure they don't run out of pitchers. Praz and Oleg are here to discuss trade targets, what the Cubs have to offer other teams, and what would happen if (god forbid) Ian Happ broke his leg. They take a look at the very low bar the Brewers have for their Wall of Honor, and Andy solves the Bears' problem of having so many retired numbers that the NFL won't let them retire any more. All that, and more.

The Cubs got bad news on Justin Steele's rehab, and their relief pitching is so decimated that they have a Yacksel in the bullpen these days. But there's nothing wrong with the team that a heaping dose of Moises Ballesteros can't fix. Oleg and Praz are here to talk Cubs and MLB managerial changes, and the White Sox's Japanese version of Rob Deer, and other important stuff like Eddie Milner breaking up no hitters, and why Chan Ho Park was left in to give up two grand slams in one inning to Fernando Tatis Sr. 27 years ago. All that, and more.

Matt Shaw has proven unable to play any of the new positions the Cubs seem to want to make him play, so Oleg and Praz join the pod to come up with some options for him. They also solve the mystery of Steak DeBurgo, eventually find one really good comp for Cade Horton's recovery from a double dose of Tommy John Disease, figure out the real story of Ethan Roberts' "air vent" injury, we even find out here Brewers' pitcher Quinn Priester went shopping for his current injury. And, we do Jed's job and figure out how he should be shaping his roster. All this, and more.

The Cubs are off to an uneven start, could it be because all their guys are batting in the wrong spots? Apparently, there's no way to tell. Oleg and Praz join me to talk about the start to the season, the Cubs newly extended contracts and what comes next. They talk about how the lineup will change when Seiya comes back. Why Miguel Amaya should play more than carson Kelly. Andy's early take on the Anthony Rizzo - David Ross podcast, and more.

The gang's all here as David Brown, Mike Donohue, Oleg and Praz join the podcast to preview the 2026 MLB season. We pick the playoff teams, tell you who is going to win the pennants and the World Series, and who is going to win all of the major awards. And because it's us, you know it's all going to come true. Except for all the stuff Andy said about the Mets.

Umroh bersama, belum berani di Padang.

The Cubs pod with Oleg and Praz returns with a discussion of just what Michael Conforto says he does around here, discussion of the one or two spots on the roster that the Cubs have open. Then they take a look at all of the former Cubs bums on the Angels non roster invite list just for fun. But the bulk of the episode is a breezy look at the rosters for all of the teams in the World Baseball Classic. The funny names, a lot of "holy crap, remember this guy" and a look at some of the genuinely great players in this tournament, they break the Javy Baez news to Oleg, and project the semi-finalists. All that, and more.

The MLBPA lost a really dumb president for a really dumb reason, it seems only fitting that Matt Shaw is practicing in right field, the Cubs could use a real bench bat still and the Cubs are obsessed with Alex Bregman's intangibles. Oleg and Praz are on hand to talk it all over, as well as the Cubs newest bad promotional campaign, some great and some really odd ballpark giveaways. They give former Cubs great Ron Mahay some love, and say goodbye to Robert Duvall, uncover a secret baseball movie and Oleg and Andy bore Praz at the end with F1 talk.

Oleg and Praz are here to discuss how good the current Cubs really are, and then get into a long discussion about their favorite Cubs. Derrek Lee was on MLB Network's morning show last week to list his favorites, and he did such a terrible job that the guys are here to set things straight.

The Cubs have done nice work since our last podcast, adding Edward Cabrera and Alex Bregman, but Oleg and Praz are here to discuss what else the Cubs should do. Praz has some first-hand accounts from Cubs Convention. Tyler Austin might not want to rent a place in town just yet. Kyle Tucker is a Dodger and owners are so upset they're going to demand a salary cap...for the 32nd year in a row. The Cubs had a 2016 reunion and have more plans to honor them during the season, and it could get weird. There are new Utility Tunnel of Famers. Marquee's cutting back on spring broadcasts to be cheap, and even more.

Oleg and Praz are here to predict where the remaining top free agents are likely headed (don't worry Jed, we only gave you one), and we play a fun game of "Is this a real Cubs Convention session?" We talk about the 2016 Cubs reunion, the boring podcast hosted at the convention (not this one), and we get really excited when we figure out who the two most likely new inductees into the Cubs' Utility Tunnel of Fame are until we realize who the second one most likely is. All that, plus NBC's hiring announcers for its baseball coverage.

The Cubs are building their new bullpen out of hunks of the old Rangers' one, probably because the Rangers' was better than theirs last year. Oleg and Praz are here to talk about it, and to hear and old friend recount the last seconds of the Bears' OT win over the Packers, just for the hell of it. The guys discuss the Cubs bullpen strategy, try to figure out where the offense is going to come from and how badly Kyle Tucker's market would have to collapse for Jed to give him a call. They also talk starting pitching, Mugs Halas' exhumation and autopsy (seriously), why Chicago fans reflexively focus on how things could go wrong, and more.

The Cubs are busy finishing second on all of the players they want us to think they're after. Sure they are. Oleg and Praz are here to discuss Matt Shaw's future, Moises Ballesteros as the full time DH, whether Alex Bregman makes sense, what kind of pitchers the Cubs should target for the rotation and bullpen, and how the Cubs could finally give their manager a useful bench.

Jed's back to rebuilding his bullpen and his first spare part is actually more accomplished than the guys he normally drags off the scrap heap. Praz and Oleg drop by to talk about the bullpen, about the Cardinals trade of Sonny Gray and whether they'll also try to move Willson Contreras. The guys find an interesting new home for Pete Alonso and think the Marlins being pressured to add payroll would make a Sandy Alcantara trade easier for them, not harder. They also try to guess which Cub will settle for one of Jed's extensions. And they come up with a ridiculous new pinch runner rule. All that, and more.

The offseason is underway. Shōta might be on the way out, the Cubs are being connected to free agents the aren't likely to actually try to sign, and Oleg and Praz are here to talk about what Jed's plan is, and why that plan sucks. And, Praz wants to make the case that it's the Brewers now, not the Cardinals who are the Cubs' biggest rivals. As you can imagine, we have some thoughts. All that, and more.

Are the Cubs the best run professional franchise in town? Oleg and Praz are here to discuss that, and what the Cubs offseason look realistically is. Will they go after Dylan Cease or somebody better? What happens to Kyle Tucker's market if the Dodgers don't swoop in with a luxurious basket of deferred cash? If the Cubs DFA'd Ian Happ would any team take his contract? Why wouldn't the Cubs pick up Shōta's option? And why don't the Cubs do a better job of honoring players who played for them before 1969? All that, and more.

A Cubs' season that started with such promise but basically flamed out at the All-Star Break met its ultimate demise at the hands of the Brewers in the first real round of the playoffs? Oleg and Praz are here for a supersized edition of the RECRAP brought to you by R. Bernard Funeral Services and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular. We look back a frustrating game five, say goodbye to one outfielder and wish we could say goodbye to another, and we keep saying we aren't going to talk about the offseason, and then talk about the offseason.

The Cubs are back up off the mat and have forced a game five in the NLDS. Oleg and Praz are on hand to talk about Ian Happ, who apparently did something, Matt Boyd and the boys who showed a lot of spunk in giving Milwaukee a chance for an epic playoff choke. It's the RECRAP brought to you by Empire Carpet and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular.

The Cubs staved off elimination and broke a historic streak of postseason run scoring futility (though they may have immediately started a new one) with a 4-3 win over the Brewers in game three of the 2025 NLDS. Oleg and Praz are on the scene to talk about the game, look forward to game four and if you didn' t get overly excited about the win, they have decided you will if they win again in game four.

Sponsored by Murph's Union 76 and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular, the RECAP tackles the Cubs wet turd of a performance in Milwaukee to open the NLDS. But, just like you'd do with a real one, you just flush it and move on. Oleg and Praz are here to wonder why the Cubs started Matt Boyd on short rest, instead of saving him for game two on extra rest which would also have allowed them to pitch Shōta with an extra day in game three. Hey, at the least the game was lopsided enough for Ian Happ to actually homer.

The podcast gets off to the same kind of shaky start that Brad Keller had in the ninth, but both ended strong with the Cubs finally winning an elimination game against the San Diego Padres. Join Andy, Oleg and Praz as they break down the game and series winner, on the RECRAP brought to you buy Binny's in 2016 somehow, and of course, the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular.

The Cubs became the first time in Wild Card round history to win the first game of a series at home and not sweep by winning the second. Well, at least no team that won the first game has ever lost the series. Yet. Gulp. Oleg and Praz are here to handle a very special RECRAP postgame.

The playoffs start on Tuesday, and Oleg and Praz are here to help preview the whole thing. Including the upcoming day playoff games at Wrigley, which should be really cool. Especially if they end like every day playoff game against the Padres at Wrigley Field have in the past. Who will pitch which game for the Cubs, what will the bench look like, Billy Hamilton can't really be a thing, right? Why Moises Ballesteros has to be on the roster, why Kyle Tucker can't be asked to sprint, and why the Cubs would win the World Series without breaking Ian Happ's losing playoff game streak. The guys discuss the other matchups and make their picks all the way to the World Series.

The Cubs magic number is dwindling, and while Marquee and the Score couldn't figure out how to calculate it properly, our podcast does. It's the Cubs pod with Oleg and Praz and Mike has done the math. And while the Brewers wait to win the division to celebrate, the Cubs should just go ahead. No need to wait for those losers to have a party. There's a lot to talk about, like Marquee's coverage of Ian Happ's retirement...we mean, Anthony Rizzo's retirement co-starring Ian Happ, and what were the odds of Moises Ballesteros hitting a homer right to Rizzo in the bleachers? Well, if you think that was cool, we have a Richie Ashburn story that will blow your mind. We talk about what other players would get a celebration like Rizzo did, why Boog can't pronounce Horwitz and why he kept saying Owen Caissie hit his face on some ivy when we're pretty sure the brick wall behind it did the damage. We talk about the return of injured Cubs, most notably Kyle Tucker and where Moises fits if Kyle comes back. Is Cade or Shōta the game one starter? Plus, why can't anyone who wears number one for the Cubs actually hit? All that, and much more.

The Cubs Podcast returns with the suddenly red hot Cubs (they've won four of five!) taking on those pesky Brewers. Praz fills us in on getting tossed from the bleachers for (get this) being too negative about the team. If that was really a thing, nobody would have been allowed out there for most of the 90s. Should the team take the players' oven mitts away? Why are they bunting? Ever? Is giving Kyle Tucker a timeout really going to help. Is Owen Caissie the greatest player ever? What playoff seed should the Cubs be shooting for with the division seemingly out of reach? They even take a break in the middle of the podcast to watch an old "You Make The Call" which takes an unexpected twist, and you'll never guess what Johnny Bench could do with the entire Cubs starting rotation. I mean, you really can't guess it. All that, and more.

Building international cooperation is a slow, painstaking process, one made more difficult when some people don't see the need for it. To businesses, however, international cooperation is positively necessary as a means to secure intellectual property rights, market share, and profit opportunities. In his dissertation research, Joël Praz, PhD student at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, is uncovering the significance of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, an international patents union today administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. Using numerous collections held in the Hagley Library, Praz has found that private businesses in the United States began to value international cooperation around patent law increasingly after the Second World War. In support of his work Praz received funding from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library.

Jed Hoyer make a few solid moves at the deadline but botched any chance of fixing the Cubs biggest pitching problem, and so his Cubs find themselves staring up at the Brewers and their pocket pancake loving manager Mat Purphy...or Pat Murphy, whatever. Oleg and Praz are here to talk about it, and we provide a much better name than "pocket pancake." We discuss if there are any Brewers position players who would start on the Cubs, and give Praz some bad news about Justin Turner. We also learn that Turner and Petecrow did a very nice thing for some Japanese newlyweds they met in Tokyo back in March. We make fun of Thumbo and complain about how Marquee fails to cover key moments in games, and how the Cubs came so close to flawlessly pulling off their weekend of tributes to Ryne Sandberg only to completely fuck up the thing they promoted the most. All that, and more.

The Cubs fell out of first place for the first time since April and who was there to catch them? Not us. Oleg and Praz join the podcast to talk about possible Cubs trade targets, why Rich Hill sucks, Andy feeling bad about agreeing with Adam Wainwright, why the DH rule changed so MLB could kiss Shohei's ass, lemonade stand scams, Tom House, towel drills, trading the Carjacker, MLB TV rights, James Acaster on Taskmaster and much, much more.  

The podcast finally concedes to the video age and not only can you see Andy, Oleg and Praz, but did you know the open and close have video? Well, now you do. They take a look at how the Cubs rank on offense and get some pretty good clues as to why they're so good. They lament Seiya and Busch not making the All-Star Game, but one of them has a brilliant idea about how to get Seiya there. They discuss possible trades, British comedies and much, more. Check out this not all AI created rundown of episode. 00:00Holy crap, look at that open!02:11Discussion on MLB Trades and Player Movement04:53Cubs' Performance and Statistics07:41Analysis of Cubs' Offensive Strategies10:25Cubs' Defensive Strengths and Pitching Staff13:26All-Star Selections and Player Snubs16:22Closing Thoughts and Future Predictions43:28The All-Star Game Anecdote45:39Catcher Performance Analysis48:28The Catcher Position Dynamics52:23Trade Deadline Speculations57:08Pitching Strategies and Future Prospects01:03:04British Comedy and Cultural References

The trade deadline is still five weeks away, but Oleg and Praz join the podcast to helpfully give Jed Hoyer a shopping list of players he should trade for. They also wonder just what the hell Nate Pearson's purpose is, recoil in horror at the stats from Porter Hodge's way too brief (and way too bad) rehab assignment. They say nasty things about the Cardinals, St. Louis and their awful stadium, and somehow get derailed to talking the old St. Louis football Cardinals for a few minutes. It's another typically tightly focused podcast. So tune in for all that, and more.

It's early June, the Cubs are in first place by five games and so naturally, Andy asks Praz and Oleg if they have enough to win anything important. All of the hot topics are covered like Evan Longoria's connection to the World Series Cubs, Rey Ordonez crying in the dugout, Bob Brenly's hot takes on grand slams and diving for the bag at first, Andy's dog's Brant Brown moment, and OK, some things that actually concern the current Cubs. Like, Ian Happ finally showing up, misleading Marquee Sport Network statistics, Michael Busch getting all of his stats in two hot streaks, and much, much, more.

Oleg, Praz and Andy discuss all of the hot topics, like: can you bat Petecrow and Busch back to back, is Seiya a star, does Jed already have a contract extension, why doesn't Tommy Hottovy get more crap, and would you rather have the Dodgers' offense or the Cubs'? Plus they assign a new nickname to Reese McGuire, make fun of Ian Happ, blame one team for the lack of pitching trade candidates, mock a Mark DeRosa hot take and tell you which Michael Mann movie character Brad Keller looks like. All that, and more.

Oleg and Praz join the podcast to discuss the arrivals of Cade Horton and Moises Ballesteros on the Cubs roster and discuss other great 22s and 25s in Cubs history. They talk about Cade's impressive debut against the Mets and try to figure out how to keep Moises on the roster long-term--before he even gets his first big league hit. I mean, how hard could it be for Michael Busch to relearn third base? They make fun of Vidal Brujan's oven mitts, take a look at some disturbing Baseball Savant profiles, where they even find somebody worse than Ryan Pressly. Andy celebrates the reinstatement of a baseball great from the suspended list, and it's not Pete Rose. And, they discuss Curb Your Enthusiasm and how it kept a guy off death row once. All that, and more.

Craig Counsell clearly read the newsletter and listened to the podcast and came to the conclusion that dropping Dansby Swanson in the order was a good idea. Oleg, Praz and Andy discuss reordering things, Shōta dodging a major injury (though with the Cubs you never know), how this hot start is different than last year's hot start and more fun with Petecrow Armstrong. Praz talks about the Cubs trying to disrobe him. They ponder the veracity of Dave Kaplan's report that the Cubs are willing to spend what it takes to keep Kyle Tucker. All that, and much, much more.

Matt Shaw is taking his leg kick on the road to Iowa, the great Vidal Brujan has returned, the Cubs are going to have to find a way without Justin Steele for a while and half the lineup is struggling. And yet, the Cubs are in first place. Oleg and Praz are on hand to talk about all of it. What's the future hold for Tater Workman, is it in Chicago or Detroit or Erie, Pennslvania and do we have to watch it? Do the Cubs have enough to swing a trade for a big pitcher, and do they have to re-sign Kyle Tucker first? Plus, why Shaw shouldn't let Nate Pearson drive. All that, and more.

Carson Kelly has joined an elite group of Cubs hitters...OK, well, he's certainly joined a group of Cubs hitters...who have hit for a cycle. Oleg and Praz are here to talk about every Cubs cycle in history, why the bullpen still blows, how the Garbage Family That Owns The Cubs™ suck this time, why Kikè Hernandez is apparently more popular than every Cubs player and how MLB can fix their TV problem. Then they get distracted, talk about the Desipio archives and Dave Kaplan living in a van, fun TV shows to binge and get ready for Opening Day 3.0. All that, and more.
