Podcasts about Prejudice

Though Jane Austen went largely unrecognized in her own lifetime—four of her six novels were published anonymously, and the other two only after her death—her name is now synonymous with the period romance. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz choose their personal favorites from her œuvre—“Emma,” “Persuasion,” and “Mansfield Park”—and attempt to get to the heart of her appeal. Then they look at how Austen herself has been characterized by readers and critics. We know relatively little about Austen as a person, but that hasn't stopped us from trying to understand her psyche. It's a difficult task in part because of the double-edged quality to her writing: Austen, although renowned for her love stories, is also a keen satirist of the Regency society in which these relationships play out. “I think irony is so key, but also sincerity,” Schwartz says. “These books are about total realism and total fantasy meeting in a way that is endlessly alluring.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Pride and Prejudice,” by Jane Austen“Persuasion,” by Jane Austen“Emma,” by Jane Austen“Mansfield Park,” by Jane Austen“Sense and Sensibility,” by Jane Austen“Northanger Abbey,” by Jane Austen“Virginia Woolf on Jane Austen” (The New Republic)Emily Nussbaum on “Breaking Bad” and the “Bad Fan” (The New Yorker)“How to Misread Jane Austen,” by Louis Menand (The New Yorker)“Miss Austen” (2025—)“Pride and Prejudice” (2005)Scenes Through Time's “Mr. Darcy Yearning for 10 Minutes” SupercutNew episodes drop every Thursday.

In the Reply Memorandum of Law supporting Sean Combs' motion to dismiss the amended complaint in Thalia Graves v. Sean Combs and Joseph Sherman, Combs' legal team reiterates that the plaintiff's claims are both legally and factually insufficient. They argue that the amended complaint relies on conclusory allegations without concrete evidence of Combs' direct involvement in the alleged misconduct. The reply further contends that the complaint improperly attempts to attribute liability to Combs through speculative inferences about his association with co-defendant Joseph Sherman, rather than demonstrating specific acts or intent required under the applicable legal standards.Additionally, Combs' attorneys assert that many of the claims are time-barred and fall outside the statute of limitations. The reply memorandum emphasizes that the plaintiff's attempt to revive these claims through generalized references to a purported ongoing pattern of misconduct is legally untenable. They also argue that the complaint fails to meet the heightened pleading standards required for claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress and other tort-based allegations. On these grounds, the defense urges the court to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety, with prejudice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.630450.87.0.pdf

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/_U9Gv2ieltoDay 29 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 9, 2025. On week 8 of the trial, will the jury get the case this week to deliberate?Special Prosecutor, Hanke Brennan, asks Dr. Wolfe, the Director of Accident Reconstruction at ARCCA, about the appearance of holes on the back of Mr. O'Keefe's hoodie and whether these holes are consistent with road rash or other damage. He asked him if he'd ever consider if Mr. O'Keefe may have fallen or landed on his back. Dr. Wolf stated he did not consider whether Mr. O'Keefe had fallen or landed on his back. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, asked for a Mistrial with Prejudice due to Intentional Misconduct by the prosecution regarding questioning about the hoodie and its damage. The defense argued the prosecution intentionally left out evidence about the holes on the back of the hoodie being clippings from the crime lab. The judge did not grant a mistrial but agreed to instructed the jury to disregard the questions and give a strong admonishment about the prosecution. When it came time to it, the Judge did not give a strong admonishment or admit the pictures into evidence. At the end of the day, the defense said that they will address this the following day.A Voir Dire of Dr. Laposata was conducted and Judge Cannone ruled she cannot testify that the wounds on John O'Keefe's arm were from a dog, but she will be able to testify about the original opinions about the cause and manner of death. Direct Examination continues on Day 30.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

In this episode, Father Matt and Father Brian discuss Thunderbolts* (2025), the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They explore the film's central themes of trauma and the power of love to overcome conflict, drawing connections to Christian understandings of suffering. The episode also includes reflections on recent films they've watched, commentary on the direction of the Marvel franchise, and a fun mythology quiz to wrap things up. 0:28: Fr. Brian and Fr. Matt begin by catching up on the few months since they last recorded an episode, discussing the appointment of Archbishop Weisenburger as Archbishop of Detroit and the election of Pope Leo XIV. They also catch up on some of the movies they've recently seen, including The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965) depicting the relationship between Michelangelo and Pope Julius II during the painting of the Sistine Chapel; Pride and Prejudice, the 2005 remake starring Keira Knightley; Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005); Snow White (2025); and Warfare, (2025) about he real-life experiences of soldiers in the 2003-2011 Iraq War. 10:41: Fr. Brian introduces the film that is the focus of this episode, Thunderbolts*. Released in 2025, the 36th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was directed by Jake Schreier and written by Eric Pearson and Joanna Calo. 11:48: Fr. Matt and Fr. Brian discuss the expansiveness of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which shows and movies they've seen, and how keeping up with all this content can make it difficult for casual viewers to keep up with the characters, plots, and maintain a sense of engagement with the heroic characters. Our hosts also discuss how the last several Marvel shows and films seem to have been trying to convey a message or promote an agenda rather than simply tell an entertaining story. 16:33: Fr. Matt provides a brief overview of the plot and main characters of Thunderbolts*. 24:41: Fr. Brian and Fr. Matt discuss some of the major themes in the film: how to deal with the parts of ourselves that we may not like, managing the effects of wounds from our pasts, and breaking the stranglehold that psychological trauma can have on our lives. 28:46: Fr. Matt talks about how the film depicts the power of love to overcome conflict. Fr Brian adds to that discussion, noting that for the characters in the film, their success only comes when they stop working in isolation and begin working together. This is very much akin to our understanding that we do not suffer alone; Christ enters into our suffering with us. 30:56: Fr. Matt notes that the film also portrays the notion that we are not defined by our worst moments and that great freedom can come from bringing them to the light. 34:16: Our hosts share their “seeds of the word” ratings for the film, based on how clearly they saw goodness, truth, and beauty reflected in the story. 39:46: In the last segment, Fr. Brain quizzes Fr. Matt about characters from Roman and Greek mythology.

Liz and Ben are joined by Pratchett academic and cosplayer Freyja Stokes as they head out to the Discworld countryside for a bit of peace, quiet and definitely no murders, in Terry Pratchett's final City Watch book, 2011's Snuff. Sam Vimes is facing his ultimate ordeal: a holiday. But no sooner has he made a mess of meeting the staff at Crundles, the Ramkin country estate, than he smells something rotten in the Shires. When the local blacksmith offers to meet him at midnight, he and his trusty valet Willikins instead find a puddle of blood and the ire of the local magistrates. A lot more's afoot than a simple murder - and it seems to have something to do with goblins, tobacco, and Fred Colon taking a funny turn... One of the last of the Discworld novels, and the final one starring Sam Vimes and (in their by now customary secondary roles) the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, Snuff also introduces a new species of fantasy creature to the Disc: goblins. Not so much hated as barely considered by other peoples, they eke out a wretched existence in the corners of the world that can hide them, a remnant of the Old Days of Dark Lords and magical war. But for Pratchett, of course, goblins aren't just tiny evil filthy things - and their story is much more about the evils of humans than any other monster. Have you read as far as Snuff, and do you think it feels different to the books that come before it? Were you expecting more of a mix of Pride & Prejudice and Midsomer Murders, and how do you feel about it being more of “howcatchem”? Was it a weird choice to take Vimes so far out of his element in his final book, or does it do us all a favour by showing us what his retirement might possibly look like? What's the weirdest rule in crocket? How great are goblins???* And what's your goblin name? Don't get distracted by the new Clacks tower - join the conversation using the hashtag #Pratchat86. Guest Freyja Stokes (he/she) was one of the first recipients of UniSA's Pratchett Scholarship, and finished her Masters thesis in 2023. It's titled ‘The turtle moves : how Terry Pratchett's Discworld does vernacular theory', and it's available via the UniSA library. Freyja is also a keen cosplayer and crafty person, and you find her and her creations on Facebook and other social media. You can find episode notes and errata on our web site. Next month we take a break from the few remaining Pratchett novels to play a game that we promise is simpler than crocket: Discworld: Ankh-Morpork, the fan favourite of the board games! Get your questions in via email (chat@pratchatpodcast.com), or social media using the hashtag #Pratchat87. * This one is rhetorical. They're really great.

With Tom Cruise starring opposite Simon Pegg in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Greg & Aaron CONTINUE their Conetto Trilogy Marathon with The World's End Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Greg Alba & Aaron Alexander as they return to director Edgar Wright's madcap sci-fi pub crawl The World's End (2013). Five childhood friends—self-described legend Gary King (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), steadfast Andy Knightley (Nick Frost, Shaun of the Dead), meticulous Oliver Chamberlain (Martin Freeman, The Hobbit, Sherlock), quick-witted Peter Page (Paddy Considine, Dead Man's Shoes), and ever-nervous Steven Prince (Eddie Marsan, Ray Donovan, Happy-Go-Lucky)—reunite in their hometown of Newton Haven to finish “The Golden Mile” pub crawl they failed to complete two decades earlier. What starts as nostalgic pints through the town's legendary watering holes—The First Post, The Famous Cock, The Trusty Servant—soon turns surreal when Gary realizes every local is a shapeshifting alien “Blank” intent on assimilation. Highlights include the kinetic “Hole in the Wall” bar brawl, the raucous “Planet Music” face-off in the town hall, and Gary's desperate, final stand atop The World's End pub—blasting Metallica and descending into glorious chaos. Along the way, Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Pride & Prejudice) appears as Gary's ex Sam Chamberlain, and Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean, Love Actually) pops up as the eccentric curator Basil, each adding sharp wit to the end-of-the-world stakes. Don't miss our deep dive into the film's blend of friendship drama, genre-bending action, and Edgar Wright's signature visual flair—plus our take on why The World's End remains one of the most quoted, memed, and highly-searched cult comedies of the 2010s!

Summary of Pride and Prejudice in English and French.English Version. By Jane AustenPublished: 1813 Genre: Romance, Social CommentarySet in early 19th-century England, Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, a witty and independent young woman, as she navigates issues of class, marriage, and morality. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters in a middle-class family with little wealth and no male heir, making marriage a practical necessity for financial security.When the wealthy and reserved Mr. Darcy enters her social circle, Elizabeth initially finds him proud and disagreeable. Their relationship is marked by mutual misunderstandings and social pressures. However, as both characters confront their own flaws—Elizabeth's prejudice and Darcy's pride—they grow and change, ultimately realizing their deep love and respect for one another.Austen uses sharp dialogue and keen social observation to critique the rigid class structure of her time. The novel champions individual merit and personal integrity over social status and wealth.French Version.Résumé de Orgueil et Préjugés Par Jane AustenPublié en : 1813 Genre : Roman d'amour, satire socialeSitué dans l'Angleterre du début du XIXe siècle, Orgueil et Préjugés suit Elizabeth Bennet, une jeune femme vive et indépendante, confrontée aux enjeux du mariage, des classes sociales et de la morale. Deuxième d'une fratrie de cinq filles dans une famille de la petite noblesse sans héritier mâle, Elizabeth vit dans un contexte où le mariage est souvent le seul moyen d'assurer sa sécurité financière.Elle fait la connaissance de M. Darcy, un homme riche, réservé et apparemment hautain. Dès leur première rencontre, Elizabeth le juge orgueilleux, tandis que lui la considère peu convenable selon les normes sociales de son rang. Leur relation est marquée par des malentendus et des jugements erronés. Cependant, chacun finit par reconnaître ses propres erreurs : Elizabeth son préjugé, et Darcy son orgueil. Grâce à cette évolution personnelle, ils apprennent à s'estimer mutuellement et tombent amoureux.À travers un style plein d'esprit et une observation fine des mœurs de son époque, Jane Austen critique la rigidité des classes sociales et valorise l'amour sincère, le respect et l'intégrité personnelle plutôt que la richesse ou le statut.This was a LitBits Podcast for Tale Teller Club Publishing www.taletellerclub.com

Frank and Thomas dive into Pride and Prejudice (2005) with a surprising amount of insight. After catching a recent theatrical re-release of the Jane Austen adaptation, the hosts unpack its romantic tension, cinematography, performances, and themes of societal expectations. Along the way, they reflect on Keira Knightley's breakout role, Matthew Macfadyen's modern take on Mr. Darcy, and how 19th-century courtship still hits in 2025. With some help from Frank's wife and linked video essays, they make sense of the story's deeper layers—reluctantly, but respectfully. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00:00 Welcome and Thomas's reluctant movie pick 00:00:41 The theatrical re-release and first impressions 00:01:17 Breakdown of the plot, scene by scene 00:04:47 What this movie says about power, class, and gender 00:06:50 The Mr. Bennet and Elizabeth dynamic 00:09:15 Mr. Darcy's character and casting impact 00:14:32 Understanding the dialog and social codes 00:17:12 Cinematography and standout shots 00:20:26 The iconic rain scene and its symbolism 00:24:23 Keira Knightley's performance and casting 00:26:18 Star-studded supporting cast 00:27:06 Comparing both proposals as visual storytelling 00:29:44 Does the movie feel too rushed? 00:33:03 Trivia: red flags, fake book titles, and bad eyesight 00:36:00 Final thoughts and star ratings 00:37:04 Next movie pick revealed: Galaxy Quest Key Takeaways: Pride & Prejudice (2005) is a well-crafted adaptation that, despite not being made for everyone, earns respect for its care and attention to detail. Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen bring depth to iconic characters, especially through subtext and physical acting. Joe Wright's direction is subtle but powerful, using natural lighting, one-shot sequences, and thoughtful framing. The story critiques societal norms by centering a woman (Elizabeth Bennet) who refuses to play by the rules. The movie has become a beloved comfort film, especially for those drawn to emotionally charged slow-burn romances. Quotes:

LGBTQ Americans live in a paradox. On one hand we have a growing population of LGBTQ Americans, a group whose rights are codified nationally with a supermajority of Americans supportive of life outside the heteronormative box, and yet we're seeing a rising level of hate and extremism against that same community and anyone - be they individuals or corporations - who stand up as public allies. How can that be in 2025? Today we talk to Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD, about what to do, where we go from here and the potential of a moment like this.  As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Jeffrey Goldberg has been a thorn in President Donald Trump's side since the real-estate developer–turned reality-show host first ran for office in 2016. Back then — ten months before he took over as editor-in-chief of The Atlantic — Goldberg wrote a piece headlined “A Brief Exercise Meant to Illuminate the Prejudices of Donald Trump.” The magazine has continued its unsparing criticism of Trump ever since, and Goldberg's recent Signalgate story was just the latest in a series of blockbuster scoops that have nominally embarrassed the president.  On Friday, Goldberg sat down with Kara for an on-stage interview at the WBUR Festival in Boston. They discussed Trump's corruption, the unserious people staffing his administration (as well as with the very serious Russell Vought, a Project 2025 architect who heads the OMB), the Democratic Party's travails, and the state of the news media.  Questions?

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that Jane Austen's novels make us wish she was our friend. She wouldn't be just any old friend: she'd be the sharpest and wisest, the one we turn to in a crisis, the one who understands our flaws and helps us see our blind spots. As we navigate the perils of love and life, she'd be the friend who gently points us in the right direction. Well, that's a funny thing to say about someone who lived more than two hundred years ago, but it's how we feel. And so, we turn to her novels as the next best thing. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Janet Todd (Living with Jane Austen) about what it's been like to rely on Jane Austen as an advice-giver for more than fifty years. PLUS Jacke reads an email from a listener who's made a dramatic change in his approach to literature and life. AND a new survey about parenting and reading arouses some of Jacke's deepest passions.

A civil lawsuit alleging that Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter and Sean "Diddy" Combs sexually assaulted a woman when she was 13 years old has been voluntarily dismissed. The plaintiff, referred to as Jane Doe, claimed the assault occurred at an afterparty following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Filed in federal court in Manhattan, the case was dismissed with prejudice, preventing any future refiling of the same claims. Jay-Z consistently denied the allegations, describing them as "frivolous, fictitious, and appalling," and expressed relief at the lawsuit's dismissal, noting the trauma the accusations caused his family. Sean Combs, who is currently awaiting trial on separate racketeering and sex trafficking charges, also maintained his innocence regarding these allegations.The lawsuit, initially filed solely against Combs in October 2024, was amended in December to include Jay-Z as a defendant. The plaintiff's attorney, Tony Buzbee, declined to comment on the reasons for the dismissal. Jay-Z's legal team emphasized that their client did not settle or make any payments related to the case, underscoring their stance that the allegations were without merit. While this particular lawsuit has been dismissed, Combs continues to face numerous other civil lawsuits and criminal charges, with his trial scheduled for May 2025.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jay-Z & Sean "Diddy" Combs Rape Suit Dismissed

If you've noticed all the celebrations, new editions of Austen's work, new adaptations and not a few arguments over issues which seem to amount to 'who's the biggest fan?' then you may have an inkling that it is a major Jane Austen landmark this year.  Celebrating the 250th year since Jane Austen's birth, the dragons have decided to do their own thing and judge a pageant of Jane Austen adaptations in film, TV, theatre and book form, in an effort to find their own favourite adaptation of Austen's work. Under the magnifying glass this week - 1995 Pride & Prejudice, Ang Lee's Sense & Sensibility, Bridget Jones' Diary and many more.    Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic  

There's arguably no better time for falling down a cultural rabbit hole than the languid, transitory summer months. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss how the season allows us to foster a particular relationship with a work of art—whether it's the soundtrack to a summer fling or a book that helps make sense of a new locale. Listeners divulge the texts that have consumed them over the years, and the hosts share their own formative obsessions, recalling how Brandy's 1998 album, “Never Say Never,” defined a first experience at camp, and how a love of Jim Morrison's music resulted in a teen-age pilgrimage to see his grave in Paris. But how do we square our past obsessions with our tastes and identities today? “Whatever we quote, whatever we make reference to, on so many levels is who we are,” Cunningham says. “It seems, to me, so precious.”This episode originally aired on June 27, 2024. Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Heathers” (1988)“Pump Up the Volume” (1990)The poetry of Sergei YeseninThe poetry of Alexander PushkinGoldenEye 007 (1997)“Elvis” (2022)“Jailhouse Rock” (1957)“Pride & Prejudice” (2005)The Neapolitan Novels, by Elena Ferrante“Ramble On,” by Led Zeppelin“Never Say Never,” by Brandy“The Boy Is Mine,” by Brandy and Monica“The End,” by The Doors“The Last Waltz” (1978)“The Witches of Eastwick,” by John Updike“Atlas Shrugged,” by Ayn Rand“Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” (2003)“Postcards from the Edge” (1990)“Rent” (1996)New episodes drop every Thursday.

This weekend, we're studying Acts 11:1–18 under the theme “Religious Discrimination.” In this pivotal moment, Peter defends his mission to the Gentiles after God reveals that the Gospel breaks through ethnic and religious barriers—proving salvation is not by cultural conformity but by grace alone. We'll see how God confronts human prejudice, expands our understanding of His grace, and calls us to reject man-made divisions in favor of His unifying Gospel.SERIES SUMMARY: The Book of Acts is the story of the early Christian Church. For centuries after the first Easter, the Christian Church has studied Acts. The logic is that, after we celebrated Jesus' rising from the grave and subsequent ascent into heaven, perhaps we should try to do what the early church did, contextualized to our time and place. Throughout this series, we will look at snapshots of Acts, from supernatural healing to strategic planning, cultural diversity to Christian celebrity. This is the story of what Jesus continued to do even after he ascended into heaven and sent his Spirit to form the Church.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive

✨ What if peace isn't something to chase — but something to remember?  In this episode of Channeling Calm, we explore the shift from striving to stillness. Through reflections on control, over-efforting, and the energetic resistance that comes with trying too hard, we turn inward toward a softer, steadier way. Inspired by Jane Bennet of Pride and Prejudice, and gentle reminders from @diaryoflaurel and @sonnet_skin, we explore what it means to embody quiet confidence, graceful boundaries, and calm strength. The episode closes with a 15-minute guided meditation to help you release the need to try... and simply be. Love the beautiful music?

Hello lords and ladies or fiends and familiars, however you might identify, and welcome to another episode of the GenreCast. This week, we look back twenty years to the beloved adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. Have the years been kind to it? We take a look at Joe Wright's tale of love and society as we bring Pride and Prejudice to the analysis table. Join us!

James calls out the sin of showing partiality—treating some people better than others based on status, appearance, influence, or what they can offer us. And while he gives the example of favoring the rich over the poor, this truth applies to many areas of our lives.Do we judge people by their appearance before knowing their heart?Do we show kindness to those who benefit us, but ignore those who seem unimportant?Do we give more honor to those with influence, while overlooking the ones who can do nothing for us?This is a test of our faith. Are we thinking like the natural man, or are we walking in the Spirit?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/ignitedfortitude/donations

She turned hustle into a $4 billion brand, Emma Grede breaks down how she built Kardashian fashion empires  Emma Grede is the founding partner behind the globally successful brands SKIMS, Good American, and Safely, all launched with the Kardashian family. She is also Chairwoman of The Fifteen Percent Pledge, is a board member at Baby2Baby, and was named one of Forbes ‘Richest Self-Made Women in America'.  She explains:  Growing up in East London, raised by a single mother, and how early hardship forged her fierce independence. Taking on a maternal role from childhood, learning to lead through responsibility, empathy, and survival. Turning rejection, dyslexia, and a lack of qualifications into fuel for building billion-dollar fashion brands. Balancing ambition and motherhood, and the personal toll of leadership, hustle, and hard decisions.
