Podcasts about Pride and Prejudice

Pride goeth before the fall War starts with a bluster. Whether it is with sacrifices in the temples, parades or press conferences, young men are sent to battle with pomp and ceremony. Then, they storm the forts or the beaches or the hilltops. They die, usually horribly, foolishly, from mistakes historians will later describe as avoidable. Lessons are learned - often, they resemble lessoned already learned in previous conflicts. Force generation and employment adapts. War ends. Another one begins, the cycle repeats itself. Academics write about military incompetence; others wax poetically about zoology. One could argue that this pattern was to be expected in the past. For the majority of human history, fighting was barely a profession and militaries were lean establishment. Modern staffs, the "brain of the army" were a very late invention. Beforehand, learning was personal, military scholarship (often surviving centuries, receiving a stature akin to holy scripture) was anecdotal and amateurish. We have surely advanced since. Everywhere military "back office" has ballooned, the fighting force has been professionalized. Military academies were established and some places, education programs were even enshrined by law. The military profession has moved from mainly art to science and art. Militaries started trying to design themselves for the next war, establishing bureaucracies and process that move vast resources for that purpose. Yet militaries seem to keep getting it wrong. For a recent example, one should look east, the Russia-Ukraine war. Prior to that conflict, the Russian military, on its face, did everything right - it had a robust and professional back office, with many educational facilities, granting advanced degrees in military art and science to officers serving many years in their positions. It undergone and extensive reform converting it from a heavy conscripted force to a lean semi-volunteer army. It modernized, introducing new kit in every service and branch. It had many experienced officers from recent conflicts from Chechnya to Georgia and Syria to Ukraine itself. It was, on the paper at least, a serious threat, a force to be reckoned with. Yet, it too collapsed on the shores of reality and had to adapt and relearn lessons that were supposed to have already been known. This story is not unique. It repeats in many forms and languages. To the military professional observing from the ringside, this should raise serious questions about how militaries generate forces. Could it be that we are indeed incompetent? Are the tales of lions and donkeys true? It is, of course, complicated It is, indeed, complicated. Modern militaries like to engineer their forces. Force generation entails lengthy planning processes, involving many stakeholders and moving parts, over multiple years, meant to create the right force to win the first battle. To facilitate this design process, the military tries to holistically look at the various elements creating military power. These elements, referred to by the acronym DOTMLPF, describe everything that should go into the giant cocktail that is a military force - Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership (and education), Personnel and Facilities. In recent years, a new ingredient was added to the recipe - Policy. With these powers combined, the right and lethel force is supposed to be created. This alphabet soup, however, only describes part of the very complicated picture and neglects the relationship between the various elements comprising military power. Depiction closer to reality would look something like this: A military force is an organ (ideally) larger than the sum of its parts. These parts include "hard" elements (everything we can describe and measure), "soft" elements (other things we can't comfortably describe, but rather talk with more hand waving about), non-military elements and unknown variables. Analysts and pundits tend to focus on the "shiny objects" that a...

After reflecting on the lack of economical thinking that brought him here, Mr. Bennet speedily agrees to the terms that Mr. Gardiner has secured for Lydia and Wickham's marriage. But he is determined to hold strong on one point - they shall not be allowed to enter Longbourn. That is, until Elizabeth and Jane convince him to allow a visit as the newlyweds are on their way to Wickham's new posting in the north. Meanwhile, now that the marriage has taken place, Elizabeth is wishing she hadn't let Mr. Darcy in on the sordid truth, since she is slowly realizing that he may in fact, be the right man for her. Elizabeth is convinced that her realization has come too late, but luckily, it's not too late for you to enjoy our latest Friday Favorites as it helps you into another night of soft and comforting sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Longbourn is aflutter with the arrival of an express from London - Lydia has been found at last! She and Wickham are not yet married, but soon will be, as long as Mr. Bennet agrees to the terms of the agreement that Mr. Gardiner has secured. The cost to the Bennets is much less than they were expecting, leading them to suspect that their dear uncle has paid more money to Wickham than they can ever hope to repay. It's a troubling thought, but at least the Bennet daughters can occupy themselves with handling their mother's renewed energy towards wedding clothes. Securing Wickham and Lydia's marriage may have cost ten thousand pounds, but this week's Friday Favorites is free, so let it accompany you as you relax into a night of deep and restorative sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Mr. Bennet and Mr. Gardiner are both in London, doing their best to uncover where Lydia and Wickham may be hiding. No one knows of any of Wickham's friends or relations - all they have been able to uncover is lots and lots of gambling debts. A letter from Mr. Collins offers nothing more than his unhelpful opinions, and eventually Mr. Bennet makes his way home, leaving the Gardiners to continue the search.

Elizabeth and the Gardiners make their way back to Longbourn, where they are quickly brought into the Bennet family fold and learn how everyone's been holding up since learning of Lydia's flight from Brighton. Jane has been holding down the fort, while Mrs. Bennet has confined herself to her room and is convinced that Mr. Bennet and Mr. Wickham will fight in a duel. Meanwhile, Kitty is subdued after the loss of her favorite sister, and Mary offers Elizabeth the balm of sisterly consolation and a reminder about the nature of women's virtue. Elizabeth is grateful to be back at home to support her family, despite the circumstances.

Chris Washington reads Jane Austen differently from how she is classically understood; rather than the doyen of the cisheteronormative marriage plot, Washington argues that Austen leverages the generic restraints of the novel and envisions a nonbinary future that traverses the two-sex model of gender that supposedly solidifies in the eighteenth century. Here, Washington discusses a politics built on plurality and possibility with Marquis Bey, Christopher Breu, and Alison Sperling.Chris Washington is associate professor of English at Francis Marion University. He is author of Nonbinary Jane Austen and editor of the Norton Critical Edition of Mary Shelley's The Last Man.Marquis Bey is professor of black studies and gender and sexuality and critical theory at Northwestern University. Bey is author of several books including Cistem Failure, Black Trans Feminism, and The Problem of the Negro as a Problem for Gender.Christopher Breu is author of several books including In Defense of Sex, Insistence of the Material, Hard-Boiled Masculinities, and coeditor of Noir Affect.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”So opens Jane Austen's Regency-era romantic comedy “Pride and Prejudice,” which for centuries has delighted readers with its story of the five Bennet sisters and their efforts to marry well. While the novel moves nimbly among all of the family members and their various entanglements, its particular focus remains on the feisty second-eldest daughter, Elizabeth, and her vexed chemistry with the wealthy, arrogant, gorgeous Mr. Darcy. Their sharp wit, verbal jousting and mutual misunderstandings form the core of what might be considered the first enemies-to-lovers plot in modern literature.On this week's episode, the Book Club host MJ Franklin discusses “Pride and Prejudice” with his colleagues Jennifer Harlan, Emily Eakin and Gregory Cowles, and Austen in general with The Times's Sarah Lyall. Other books and authors mentioned in this discussion:“Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors,” by Sonali Dev“Book Lovers,” by Emily Henry“The Marriage Plot,” by Jeffrey Eugenides“Washington Square,” by Henry James“Such a Fun Age,” by Kiley Reid Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

There's only been one thing missing from Elizabeth's time in Derbyshire, and that's a letter from Jane, but luckily she's just received two. Unfortunately for her, the letters bear calamitous news - Lydia has run away from Brighton...with Mr. Wickham. What's worse, Mr. Darcy happened to call at the exact time that Elizabeth got the news, and is now privy to the whole scandalous truth.

Judges 8:1-21

After the visit from Georgiana, Elizabeth and Mrs. Gardiner do the polite thing and return the favor with a visit to Pemberley. There, Elizabeth is reacquainted with Miss Bingley, whose jealousy is on full display. But Elizabeth holds her own against Miss Bingley's jibes, and in the process, endears herself even more to Mr. Darcy. It's unfortunate for Miss Bingley, but jealous people aren't often wise. But listening to this week's Friday Favorites is always a wise decision, so let our latest familiar story help you as you drift away into a night of soft and gentle sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

When Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth met at Pemberley, he was adamant about wanting her to meet his sister, but Elizabeth didn't realize that meant they would call immediately after her arrival. She's flattered, and soon realizes that contrary to what she's heard, Georgiana isn't proud, she's just shy. The Darcys are accompanied by Mr. Bingley, who is as warm and delightful as ever, and, as Elizabeth is relieved to see, has no interest in Miss Darcy. What's more, Mr. Darcy's civility from the day before has continued, and Elizabeth can't believe that this is the same man she found so distasteful before. Elizabeth's feelings are changing before her eyes, and as they do, let this week's Friday Favorites help you change from a busy day into another night of rest and relaxation.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

It's summer, and Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle Gardiner have set off on their long-awaited trip. They're enjoying a visit to Derbyshire, and have decided to include a visit to Pemberley - having been assured, of course, that Mr. Darcy is nowhere near his home. While there, Elizabeth is astonished at how different the accounts of Mr. Darcy seem, compared to his behavior in Hertfordshire. But the biggest astonishment of all is the appearance of the man himself, arrived back a day earlier than was planned. And not only that - he's civil, and even friendly, to Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle. This week's Friday Favorites is the moment when everything begins to change for Elizabeth, and as it does, let the familiar story fill you with calm as you drift into a night of deep and restorative sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person in possession of a birthday must be in want of a celebration. However little known the feelings or views of such a person may be on their first entering into another year of life, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of their surrounding acquaintance, that they are considered as the rightful object of some one or other of their neighbours' party-planning endeavours."My dear friends," began our heroine (for heroine she must be called, being the celebrated birthday personage of our tale), "I find myself in the most peculiar situation of having reached another year of existence, and I am given to understand that such an occasion demands commemoration."It is hoped that all persons of good breeding and cheerful disposition will find it agreeable to listen, for what is a birthday celebration without the society of one's most valued listeners?Joining this celebration of the utmost importance are the honoured guests of Dr Alice and Dr Kimberly of Fetch the Smelling Salts. Ladies of noble achievement in high society, whose warm and witty conversation has made this episode most agreeable indeed. Alice's slightly racier podcast, Austen After Dark, is also a most welcome pursuit for those who enjoy lively discourse on more amorous activities."For what," our heroine might well exclaim, "is the pleasure of a birthday without the warmth of friendship to illuminate it?"Therefore, let all who receive these words consider themselves most cordially and affectionately invited to join in what promises to be an episode of unparalleled enjoyment.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacyOP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Elizabeth is back at Longbourn, but peace remains elusive, as Kitty and Lydia are desperate to follow the departing Meryton regiment to Brighton. Luckily for Lydia (and unluckily for Kitty), she receives an invitation as the particular friend of the colonel's wife. Elizabeth knows how badly this could end, and tries her best to convince their father not to permit Lydia to go, to no avail. At least there's one piece of good news out of all of it - the departure of the regiment means that Mr. Wickham is gone, and hopefully, out of their lives forever. As Lydia and the regiment make their way out of town, there's peace and quiet in the house. Let this week's Friday Favorites bring you your own peace and quiet as you settle in for another night of soft and restful sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

After a quick stay at the Gardiners, Elizabeth, Jane, and Maria Lucas are on their way back to Hertfordshire. They're met along the way by Kitty and Lydia, who "treat" them to a lunch that's paid for by their older sisters, and then, at long last, they are back at home. For Elizabeth, this means she finally has the chance to unload the burden of her secrets and share the news of Mr. Darcy's proposal and Mr. Wickham's true character with Jane.

Nearly 3 years to the day, Vicki aka Vicksipixiecosplay returns to the podcast! After we previously had technical difficulties on her first episode where we had to cut things short, this time, we are fully technical and now you've got a full episode! We kick things off by talking about Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. We specifically focus on the 2005 movie version. Vicki talks about why she enjoys P&P as much as she does, and why this version is the one she gravitates towards. We talk about some of her favorite characters, who she identifies with, and we touch on some of the other versions as well as the potential upcoming version that Netflix is working on. We also do talk about a bit more Jane Austen overall. From there, we go to Scooby Doo! Vicki talks about how she got into Scooby Doo, which versions she likes, and who her favorite character is (this one may shock you!). We talk about a number of the different versions, including HBO's Velma, the animated Scoob movie, and more. We wrap up by talking about Cosplay. Vicki talks about her growth on the social media side of things over the past three years, including going viral a number of times, how she's dealt with troll comments and what goes into that experience. Plus, we talk about some of the cosplays she's done, some future cosplays, and how her growth in the community has led her to organize community Bridgerton/Regency era meet up event over the past few years.

Romance is having a huge moment and let's be honest, sometimes we all need a dose of a little happy ending. In this spicy bonus episode of Mamamia Out Loud, Jessie, Holly and Em V are diving deep into why we're all completely obsessed with love stories right now. From seriously sexy fairies, Mr Rochester's problematic Victorian charm to complicated love stories set on the backdrop of Dublin (so romantic) — we're covering it all and getting way too invested in fictional relationships. Plus, we'll play you a taste of Em's spicy obsession she's been listening to on her commute that has her practically levitating into work.

After six eventful weeks, Elizabeth's time in Kent is coming to an end - but not without a final visit to Rosings.

But despite her best efforts, she encounters Mr. Darcy yet again, and this time, he has a thick envelope with a letter he absolutely must give her. It's time for Elizabeth to hear Mr. Darcy's perspective on Bingley and Jane's relationship, and to learn the truth about his history with Mr. Wickham.

Waking up to news of the casting of Netflix Pride and Prejudice? We've done a breakdown on our podcast What would Jane Do? of the new cast and what we might expect.

Has our perception of what it is to be patriotic been skewed by the likes of angry protesters parading outside a refugee hotel in Essex? And can the idea of patriotism ever be reclaimed from furious far-right groups like Britain First? Plus, what's the latest on the Brexit reset with the EU? Director of UK in a Changing Europe Anand Menon joins the panel to discuss. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, we're wondering if we'll EVER be able to retire.

This week on the KPL Podcast, we're joined by special guest Andrew Kuhlman to talk about Austen's Pride—the dazzling new musical now playing at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center. In this imaginative reworking of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen herself takes center stage, embarking on a journey of self-discovery. As the iconic romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy unfolds in a fresh light, Austen uncovers surprising truths about her characters—and herself. RecommendationsSandstorm by James Rollins (book1 of Sigma Series)

Elizabeth is still reeling from finding out that Mr. Darcy interfered in Bingley and Jane's relationship, when the man himself shows up Hunsford. He's calling on her with a request that takes her totally by surprise: Mr. Darcy wants to marry Elizabeth! Unfortunately, his proposal is more insulting than affectionate, as he focuses as much on the inferiority of Elizabeth's connections as his own desire to marry her. At least his mode of declaration makes it easier for Elizabeth to refuse, than had he behaved in a more gentleman-like manner. This week's Friday Favorites is a true classic. Let the comforting words of Mr. Darcy's ill-fated first proposal be a balm as they accompany you into a night of soft and restorative slumber.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

In today's episode you will learn how Jane Austin laid in the groundwork for the modern romance novel and fandom discord at large. You'll also learn of the sensual and erotic pleasures of the foot.

Elizabeth has been enjoying her walks around Rosings park, run-ins with Mr. Darcy notwithstanding. Today, she's run into a more pleasant companion, Colonel Fitzwilliam. After seemingly letting her down easy about his own marriage prospects, their conversation turns back to Mr. Darcy, and Elizabeth soon learns a shocking truth. It was none other than Mr. Darcy who stepped in to stop the potential marriage between Mr. Bingley and Jane. The news is so distressing that Elizabeth is immediately unwell. In this week's Friday Favorites, Elizabeth's contempt for Darcy reaches its peak, and as her feelings rage, let the familiar beats of her story help you end your week with a night of deep and restful sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Something magical happened between 1994 and 1995 in the film industry. Something spiritual, something supernatural, something Angelic. This is not the norm when it comes to movies and films, and often when movies, shows, documentaries or TV series are filmed, there's a level of darkness involved, not always on purpose—it just naturally occurs. It stems from the early industry's beginnings around silent film. The film industry has been used for propaganda, groupthink, conditioning and mind control, but not all of the film and tv industry has darkness instilled in it in this way. There are magical areas and special moments throughout the years in film where something comes together just right and rises above the norm, and even becomes a healing tool, a healing avenue. Pride & Prejudice, the 1995 version, is on another level. It is very helpful for anyone struggling emotionally, mentally, physically or even spiritually—anyone who is going through challenging times in their lives. This special healing miniseries was so clear of negative energy when it was filmed, so much so that it profoundly involved the Angelic realm to the point of even showing Angelic signs, including hidden Angelic sightings. With an open heart and open mind, you can feel what was behind the making of this rendition of Jane Austin's Pride & Prejudice. In this episode… Learn how the 1995 Pride and Prejudice miniseries is a powerful healing tool, not just a period drama, and how it emits energy that supports emotional and physical recovery. Discover how Angelic forces were present during the filming, making it spiritually charged and energetically pure, which was a rare phenomenon in the entertainment industry. Find out how everyone involved in the production unknowingly left behind their personal negativity, creating a clean and clear environment that allowed healing forces to enter. Uncover the ways in which this series calms the adrenals, nervous system, and emotional body, making it ideal for sensitive individuals, those with chronic illness, or anyone needing peace. Take a look at how specific scenes, like those at Lady Catherine de Bourgh's estate and Pemberley, hold supernatural energy. Learn how the healing power is still active today, nearly 30 years later, and how watching it now allows viewers to receive those same calming, restorative benefits. All this and more, tune in and don't miss out on this important episode. You can revisit this episode anytime you need it. For more information visit www.medicalmedium.com

 Kylie and Julia pivot to their second shared obsession: the 1995 BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. The results are hyper efficient.In this episode, Mr. Bennet beats a joke into the ground, Kitty coughs for her own amusement, Sir William Lucas helps Caroline move in society, and for some reason Jane is the hot sister.

Things in Kent just got a little more interesting: Mr. Darcy and his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam have just arrived at Rosings. After a dinner together where Elizabeth gets to play and sing for the party, the gentlemen spend their time calling at Hunsford to visit the ladies - Mr. Darcy even calls on Elizabeth by herself. Yet, Elizabeth is puzzled by Mr. Darcy's frequent visits, since he rarely says much to anyone, in contrast to his warm and friendly cousin. In this week's Friday Favorites, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth come back into each other's orbit once again, and as they do, let their comforting presence help accompany you into an evening of relaxing sleep. -----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

The Hunsford party is on their way to dinner at Rosings, much to Mr. Collins's delight. And that means it's time to meet another favorite character, the imperious Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Her grandeur is enough to completely overwhelm Maria Lucas, and even Sir William isn't totally calm - Elizabeth seems to be the only one able to keep her wits when she speaks with Lady Catherine. The first encounter with Lady Catherine's noble condescension is a memorable one, so let this week's Friday Favorites help you end your week with a night of restful and restorative sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Joel Kim Booster plays Noah, a modern-day Elizabeth Bennet figure, while Bowen Yang portrays Howie, who is loosely based on Jane Bennet. The aloof and wealthy Will, played by Conrad Ricamora, serves as the counterpart to Mr. Darcy.Between the classic Austen book and the modern, gay-friendly film, which did we prefer?
