“A Midsummer Night's Dream: Funny Profundity, or Inane and Profane?” a “Tutor Talk,” presented by Dr. Travis Cooper at Thomas Aquinas College, California, on September 24, 2025

The tools I use to drag myself down, I use on others with equal fervor. That the human system functions in health and harmony at all - the individual body or One Spirit itself - is a miracle.

Harriet is a writer, producer and performer for stage, screen and radio.The Spectator said of her debut play THE LISTENING ROOM “You emerge with your consciousness altered, your conception of human beings elevated and amplified”. THE LISTENING ROOM transferred from the Old Red Lion to Stratford East and has since been performed at the National Theatre, The Lowry, Theatre Clwyd, Northern Stage and in prisons & psychiatric institutions across the UK. A radio adaptation was created with BBC Radio 4 and nominated for an ARIA in 2020.Harriet's most recent radio drama THE OTHER TCHAIKOVSKY was shortlisted for a BBC Audio Drama Award in 2021 & a 90 minute film adaptation is now in development with BBC2.Harriet's first solo show OUTPATIENT premiered at the Edinburgh Festival in 2024 and won the Summerhall Lustrum Award for Unforgettable Theatre.Harriet is currently developing a number of projects for stage and screen. She runs a theatre company, Crowded Room, with whom she was shortlisted for the Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award at the Barbican.(This bio courtesy of Independent Talent - https://www.independenttalent.com/writers/harriet-madeley/) Harriet and I discuss how theatre can be so profound and impactful by asking questions that many are scared or uncomfortable to ask. Such as, how does it feel when you're hit by a life-threatening illness and how does it feel knowing you're going to die?Her recent show “Outpatient”, which I was lucky to see at the Park Theatre a few weeks ago, tackles these big questions. We meet character “Olive” an aspiring journalist who is struck down with PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis) a terrible illness for which there is no cure and could end her life either in 10 years or in 10 days. Based on Harriet's own battle with the same illness, the play is a semi-autobiographical commentary on what life is like living with a disease you don't know about and what it'll be like for your loved ones when you're gone. Harriet is so open and honest, talking about her love for truthful theatre, her journey with the play through the festival circuit and in London as well as her own personal journey with PSC. Thank you so much again Harriet for being so open and being so generous with my questions and of course for your art! I hope you all have the opportunity to catch this play in the future. Oliver GowerSpotlight Link: https://www.spotlight.com/9097-9058-5261Instagram: @ollietheuncensoredcriticFor enquiries and requests: olliegower10@gmail.comPlease Like, Download and Subscribe ✍️Thank you all for your support!Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name.

Coach Ted talks about redefining yourself and what's possible in your training. (Originally aired 07-10-2024)

Since publishing his debut essay collection—Video Night in Kathmandu, featuring far-flung reportage from 10 Asian countries—in 1988, the prolific travel writer Pico Iyer has gone on to write more than a dozen books exploring themes ranging from displacement and identity to globalization and technology, as well as contribute to publications such as The New York Times, Time, and Condé Nast Traveler. Over the years, Iyer's travels have taken him to some of the world's most remote destinations—North Korea, Bhutan, and Iceland, to name a few—but it's his hundred-plus visits to a Benedictine hermitage in Big Sur, California, that form the heart of his latest book, Aflame: Learning From Silence. Connecting with his inner stillness during these various sojourns in solitude has left him wholly transformed, opening him up to discover the thrumming, ineffable joy of being truly awake to the world and wonderfully alive. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Iyer explores the purpose and joy of travel, and shares deeply moving reflections about what he finds most essential in life.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Pico Iyer[4:25] “Aflame”[4:25] “Autumn Light”[4:25] Philip Larkin[4:25] “The Art of Poetry No. 30”[7:18] Bashō[7:18] Leonard Cohen[10:21] New Camaldoli Hermitage[10:21] Post Ranch Inn [16:25] “Postmodern Tourism: A Conversation with Pico Iyer”[17:08] “The Eloquent Sounds of Silence”[21:48] “The Joy of Quiet”[31:42] “What Ping-Pong Taught Me About Life”[33:14] “Walden”[37:28] “The Open Road”[41:37] “Video Night in Kathmandu”[41:37] “The Lady and the Monk”[41:37] “Lonely Places”[41:37] The Global Soul[44:40] “In the Realm of Jet Lag”[52:35] “Culture: The Leading Hotels of the World”[55:17] Potala Palace[55:17] Naoshima, Japan[55:17] Teshima, Japan[55:17] Narita, Japan[01:00:43] “The Half Known Life”[01:10:10] “No Time”

Es irónico que San Pedro escribía en su segunda carta que San Pablo pudo ser difícil de entender. Porque en este breve pasaje de diez versos, San Pedro ha dejado en perplejos los grandes teólogos de toda la historia de la iglesia.

What would it mean to you to forever change the trajectory of someone else's life? Because that's what helping a person redefine their relationship with alcohol can do. It catalyzes profound changes not just for them, but for society as a whole. When Karolina stopped drinking, the alcohol-free movement was small. It was hard to find people who decided to eliminate drinking just because it didn't fit in with what they wanted out of life. Today, the movement has grown and it is igniting! More and more people are reevaluating their relationship with alcohol. Imagine if every individual, empowered by their own alcohol-free journey, inspired others? Think about the freedom and potential it would create. It's a major grassroots movement for change. And Karolina wants to see MORE leaders in the alcohol-free space, because that's how the world changes: with all of us standing up and doing our part. If you know you are meant to be a leader in the alcohol-free movement, get certified as an alcohol-free life coach along with 4 other modalities in the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program. IN THIS EPISODE: The underrecognized health dangers of alcohol, from heart disease to brain damage, and why many of these aren't correctly attributed to alcohol consumption Similarities between alcohol and cigarette marketing, targeting youth to create lifelong customers Shocking stats about alcohol, including: 60% of people over-drink; 52% want to drink less; and 88% are metabolically unhealthy How addressing alcohol issues can trigger a cascade of positive transformations in health, career satisfaction, and overall life purpose Incredible stories of impact and transformation and how to be part of this grassroots movement with Karolina!   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED: In this episode Karolina mentions Annie Grace's book, This Naked Mind.  If you know you're meant to help other people change their relationship with alcohol and achieve deep healing (along with their bigger dreams), apply for the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program – and get 5x certified as a world class alcohol-free coach.  Lose your desire to drink and lean into your dream life with Karolina's book Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You. When you order today, you'll also unlock tons of resources and checklists to support you on your journey.  Loved the book? We'd be honored if you left a review!  If you're still in the process of reevaluating alcohol on your own right now, I invite you to join Become Euphoric first, which will support you in reprogramming your subconscious mind. Follow @euphoric.af on Instagram. And as always, rate, review, and subscribe so we can continue spreading our message far and wide.

Welcome to Episode 244 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we have a thread to discuss this and all of our podcast episodes. Today we are continuing to review Cicero's "On the Nature of The Gods," which began with the Epicurean spokesman Velleius defending the Epicurean point of view. This week will continue into Section 27 as Cotta, the Academic Skeptic, responds to Velleius, and we - in turn - will respond to Cotta in particular and the Skeptical argument in general. Subjects for Today: Zeno's Paradoxes as example of what we have been talking about - following "pure logic" tha t has not been ultimately grounded in the senses, even where it clearly contradicts the senses. Today's TextXXVII. This, I perceive, is what you contend for, that the Gods have a certain figure that has nothing concrete, nothing solid, nothing of express substance, nothing prominent in it; but that it is pure, smooth, and transparent. Let us suppose the same with the Venus of Cos, which is not a body, but the representation of a body; nor is the red, which is drawn there and mixed with the white, real blood, but a certain resemblance of blood; so in Epicurus's Deity there is no real substance, but the resemblance of substance.Let me take for granted that which is perfectly unintelligible; then tell me what are the lineaments and figures of these sketched-out Deities. Here you have plenty of arguments by which you would show the Gods to be in human form. The first is, that our minds are so anticipated and prepossessed, that whenever we think of a Deity the human shape occurs to us. The next is, that as the divine nature excels all things, so it ought to be of the most beautiful form, and there is no form more beautiful than the human; and the third is, that reason cannot reside in any other shape.First, let us consider each argument separately. You seem to me to assume a principle, despotically I may say, that has no manner of probability in it. Who was ever so blind, in contemplating these subjects, as not to see that the Gods were represented in human form, either by the particular advice of wise men, who thought by those means the more easily to turn the minds of the ignorant from a depravity of manners to the worship of the Gods; or through superstition, which was the cause of their believing that when they were paying adoration to these images they were approaching the Gods themselves. These conceits were not a little improved by the poets, painters, and artificers; for it would not have been very easy to represent the Gods planning and executing any work in another form, and perhaps this opinion arose from the idea which mankind have of their own beauty. But do not you, who are so great an adept in physics, see what a soothing flatterer, what a sort of procuress, nature is to herself? Do you think there is any creature on the land or in the sea that is not highly delighted with its own form? If it were not so, why would not a bull become enamored of a mare, or a horse of a cow? Do you believe an eagle, a lion, or a dolphin prefers any shape to its own? If nature, therefore, has instructed us in the same manner, that nothing is more beautiful than man, what wonder is it that we, for that reason, should imagine the Gods are of the human form? Do you suppose if beasts were endowed with reason that every one would not give the prize of beauty to his own species?

I'm still writing books but haven't been reviewed by anybody in ages, maybe because I'm an Old White Male and our time is up, or maybe I've written too many books, and I'm okay with unreviewing — going way back to Veronica Geng's caramel custard review of Lake Wobegon Days in the New York Times in 1985, the reviews have been warm and sweet, which is nice for the publisher but for me, the hardworking writer, are unremarkable, like a friend's cat climbing into my lap: not the equivalent of good conversation. But O'Gieblyn's essay is a brilliant and engaging piece of work and I feel honored that she went to so much trouble. It pleases me that she quotes funny lines from the book and not pretentious ones: she could easily have used my own words to make me look like a hack and a bore. She does use the word “schtick” in connection with my radio monologue, but I don't mind: in stand-up, schtick is simply useful, like the handheld microphone. She says that my willful optimism seems somewhat strained at times, and she writes, “There is, alas, no shortage of holes in the book's logic that could be exploited by an attentive critic”and she goes ahead and sticks her finger in some of them, but she also says, “It's hard not to conclude that Keillor has reached the sunny equanimity of enlightenment.” (I've made it as hard as I could, Meghan.) And then she says, “The prose throughout the book is both sharp and buoyant, and often arrives, somewhat unexpectedly, at profundity.” I was aiming for buoyancy. Profundity is well above my pay grade; it's Ms. Gieblyn's territory, not mine. To me, this sentence from a writer so sharp as she is worth more than any prize given by a committee. “Sharp and buoyant” is a nice phrase for promotion, but what makes it meaningful to me is the brilliance of Meghan O'Gieblyn.

We're joined by friend of the pod, Pete Wehner, contributing writer at The Atlantic and senior fellow at the Trinity Forum, to explore how Peter's Christian faith influences his views on suffering, scriptural interpretation, and ethical dilemmas. The conversation addresses the current political climate, particularly focusing on Donald Trump's impact on the Evangelical community and the Republican Party. Emphasizing honest and empathetic dialogue, we discuss the challenges of maintaining faith in divisive times and envision potential paths for the church's and conservative movement's future redemption. Highlighting the power of personal connections, there's a fun story about 2 New York Rangers fans finding common ground across political differences while watching the game at a bar in LA, illustrating the broader theme of building relationships beyond political and ideological differences.   It would mean so much if you could leave us a review: https://ratethispodcast.com/goodfaithpolitics    And we're on Patreon!

Blessings to the love doves! This Energy Audio Tidbit asks a most foundational and significant question: when is enough, enough?"Happiness" is perhaps distinct from "contentment." What does it mean to be content? How does one discover contentment? When is enough, enough? How much do we really, truly, deeply, need? Sometimes, we share more when we have less.This is NOT propaganda for the own nothing be happy ghouls. Abundance is desirable and fantastic. We all deserve abundance. But what about the notion of abundance mentality? Living in abundance, believing in abundance, and being in abundance.In my travels around this magnificent living cerulean orb, I've seen again and again that people oftentimes discover contentment and abundance without hoarding, pillaging, robbing or bombing for more and more and more. The blind insatiable quest for more more more is downright reckless and dangerous. Every body deserves enough. Remember the loaves 'n fishes. Sometimes, all it takes is a belief, or rather an understanding, a deep inner knowing, that yes, we do in fact have... enough. Contentment and its attendant constellation of experience is deep AF. Discovering "enoughness" is powerful.  When is enough, enough? Do you already have... enough? Should we renegotiate our relationship with abundance? These are all some juicy questions this wee hour EAT hopes to invoke. Love you all!! little raven kerkawww3 6 9TRACKLISTRitmos del Sur : Sebananda ● Folktronicast 3️ Mose ● Santi & Tuğçe ● Janax Pacha ● Jakare ● Yemanjo ● Cyma ● Namirí (Mix)Nina Simone - An Artist's DutyCover ArtAnxious Contentment by Jay AldersSupport the showSupport My Sponsor:Magic Mind Adaptogenic & Nootropic Elixir 20% off at Checkout!https://magicmind.com/barbarianpod | Use Code: BARBARIANPOD20 | JAN.

Episode 25Meaning of the number 25: Grace for GraceIntroducing The Deep Series, running through the end of the year THE DEEP.What is “the Deep”? The Depths of God : 1 Corinthians 2:10 “these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the DEEP THINGS of God.” The word deep is translated from the Greek which means depth, height: as measured up or down. The deep sea, the deep things of God- thing hidden and above mans scrutiny. Profundity; ie. Extent; mysteryGod desires to me known, just as we do. It is painful to misunderstood or judged incorrectly and He invites us to follow the Spirit of God unto the depths of God He reveals.2.

This is our deep under the surface places calling out to His.3.

She publishes countless videos online, creating a complex word salad of new age and quasi-religious claims, amassing followers and funds by selling counseling sessions and accepting online donations.

A group of newcomers descended on a tiny east Texas town with their strange beliefs as their leader posted increasingly odd videos online claiming to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and also an extraterrestrial star commander of a galactic spaceship. They caught the eye of a journalist on TikTok reporting on cults, but once the group went viral, unsavory details about its leaders' past emerged. The group tried hiding its online activity, but some residents say the so-called doomsday cult has not stopped its pursuit of the small town. This week's episode is Profundity Yours - Part 1.

It's time to reclaim the profundity of the present moment. Each moment has meaning that, if ignored, will be lost forever. Circumstances will never again combine in this unique way to form this moment, right here, right now. There are insights that you can never regain if you let them slip through your fingers. Those who are able willing to do their own thinking and to take disciplined, strategic pauses even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty are much more likely to connect non-intuitive dots and synthesize larger patterns.Mentioned in this episode:Daily Creative is available now!Daily Creative is a daily reader that helps you be more effective as a creative pro.

If there were a bard for our bewildering times, Saeed Jones would be a fitting choice. In his newly released collection of poems, Alive at the End of the World, Jones dances through grief, rage, and trauma—collective and personal—with acerbic clarity and sharp-edged wit. It is a book that gets to the heart of this confounding, erratic era, by turns reflecting on the tremendous amount of loss that has come with Covid-19; more broadly, the staggering, startling nature of living through a pandemic; the unignorable realities of climate disaster; the ongoing dangers of being Black and queer in the face of systemic racism, homophobia, and white supremacy; and, individually, the 2011 death of his mother and the past decade he has spent wallowing, mourning, mending, processing, and growing in the aftermath. Following his two previous books—the 2019 coming-of-age memoir How We Fight for Our Lives and the 2014 poetry collection Prelude to Bruise—Alive at the End of the World is only sort of a hyperbolic, if coy, title. “This human era we're in is wild,” Jones says on this episode of Time Sensitive. “I am not here to tell people, ‘Oh, it has always been this calamitous.' No! We are in an era of instability, destability. It's bad, and I think we need to be real about that.” There's a blunt, let's-not-beat-around-the-bush quality to Jones's work—he intentionally and directly addresses harsh, gut-punching realities that many of us would rather ignore. But he does so in ways that are alluring, and that draw readers in. Wading through the tough stuff, slowly, thoughtfully, and with good humor, Jones gets to higher truths and finds meaningful connection points. Also on this episode, Jones talks with Spencer about growing up Black and queer in the suburban city of Lewisville, Texas; how the murders of James Byrd, Jr., and Matthew Shepard haunted him throughout his teenage years and still do; and why, “in our culture right now, everything's a proxy war, everything's one-upmanship.”Special thanks to our Season 6 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Saeed Jones[03:39] Alive at the End of the World[05:44] “Deleted Voice Message: Hey, Robyn—It's Me, Whitney”[05:44] “A Spell to Banish Grief”[07:06] “Saeed, How Dare You Make Your Mother Into a Prelude”[14:21] “Okay, One More Story”[16:34] “The Dead Dozens”[25:08] “Diahann Carroll Takes a Bath at the Beverly Hills Hotel”[48:10] How We Fight for Our Lives: A Memoir[52:12] Prelude to Bruise[52:12] “Jasper, 1998”[01:13:58] “Self-Portrait of the Artist as Ungrateful Black Writer”

What I learned from rereading Land's Polaroid: A Company and the Man Who Invented It by Peter C. Wensberg.[0:01] Why is Polaroid a nutty place? To start with, it's run by a man who has more brains than anyone has a right to. He doesn't believe anything until he's discovered it and proved it for himself. Because of that, he never looks at things the way you and I do. He has no small talk. He has no preconceived notions. He starts from the beginning with everything. That's why we have a camera that takes pictures and develops them right away.[1:33] More books on Edwin Land: Insisting on The Impossible: The Life of Edwin Land by Victor McElheny The Instant Image: Edwin Land and the Polaroid Experienceby Mark Olshaker A Triumph of Genius: Edwin Land, Polaroid, and the Kodak Patent War by Ronald Fierstein Instant: The Story of Polaroid by Chris Bonanos [2:18] “Then I read something that one of my heroes, Edwin Land of Polaroid, said about the importance of people who could stand at the intersection of humanities and sciences, and I decided that's what I wanted to do.” —  Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography by Walter Isaacson (Founders #214)[5:17] This guy started one of the great technology monopolies and ran it for 50 years.[7:35] He lived his life more intensely than the rest of us.[8:53] His interest in our reactions was minimal — polite, sometimes kind, but limited by the great drain of energy necessary to sustain his own part.[9:30] He never argued his ideas. If people didn't believe in them, he ignored those people. —A Mind at Play: How Claude Shannon Invented the Information Age by Jimmy Soni and Rob Goodman  (Founders #95) Loomis was not someone you could argue with. He would listen patiently to an opposing opinion. But his consideration was nothing more than that-an act of politeness on his part.” — Tuxedo Park: A Wall Street Tycoon and The Secret Palace of Science That Changed The Course of World War II by Jennet Conant (Founders #143)[11:40] Right before he introduces the most important product he ever makes — he is in a fight for his life. There's a good chance that Polaroid is going to be bankrupt.[14:29] The parallel to Steve Jobs is striking. Edwin Land —like jobs — had to turn around the company he founded before they ran out of money![15:02] At 37 he had achieved everything to which he aspired except success.[15:32] Against The Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #200)[22:48] The heroes of your heroes become your heroes.[23:39] Bill Gates would later tell a friend he went to Harvard to learn from people smarter than he was —and left disappointed. —Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire by James Wallace and Jim Erickson (Founders #140)[27:22] The young hurl themselves into vast problems that have troubled the world's best thinkers, believing that they can find a solution. It is well that they should for, from time to time, one of them does. — Autobiography of a Restless Mind: Reflections on the Human Condition Volume 2 by Dee Hock. (Founders #261)[29:30] He concentrated ferociously on his quest.[29:43] We live in the age of infinite distraction.[30:03] My whole life has been spent trying to teach people that intense concentration for hour after hour can bring out in people resources they didn't know they had.[30:29] Among all the components and Land's intellectual arsenal, the chief one seems to be simple concentration. — The Instant Image: Edwin Land and The Polaroid Experience by Mark Olshaker. (Founders #132)[41:50] A Landian question took nothing for granted, accepted no common knowledge, tested the cliche, and treated conventional wisdom as an oxymoron.[42:44] A Triumph of Genius: Edwin Land, Polaroid, and the Kodak Patent War by Ronald Fierstein  (Founders #134)[48:33] They had no alternative but to succeed with the camera. Everyone left at Polaroid knew that at the present rate of decline the business, the company, and their jobs would not survive 1947.[55:45] Smith estimated that throughout the eighties he spent at least four hours a day reading. He found he relied quite heavily on his own vision, backed by assimilating information from many different disciplines all at once. “The common trait of people who supposedly have vision is that they spend a lot of time reading and gathering information, and then synthesize it until they come up with an idea." — Overnight Success: Federal Express and Frederick Smith, Its Renegade Creator by Vance Trimble (Founders #151)[59:05] If you're not good, Jeff will chew you up and spit you out. And if you're good, he will jump on your back and ride you into the ground. — The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon by Brad Stone. (Founders #179) [1:02:24] They were among the first of the park's attractions to be finished, but the pressure of time was already weighing on everyone. One day John Hench stopped by to check the progress on the coaches and had an idea, which he brought to his boss. "Why don't we just leave the leather straps off, Walt? The people are never going to appreciate all the close-up detail."Walt Disney treated Hench to a tart little lecture: "You're being a poor communicator. People are okay, don't you ever forget that. They will respond to it. They will appreciate it."Hench didn't argue. "We put the best darn leather straps on that stagecoach you've ever seen."— Disney's Land: Walt Disney and the Invention of the Amusement Park That Changed the World by Richard Snow. (Founders #158)[1:05:53] There is no such thing as group originality or group creativity or group perspicacity. I do believe wholeheartedly in the individual capacity for greatness. Profundity and originality are attributes of single, if not singular, minds.[1:10:32] There's nothing more refreshing than thinking for a few minutes with your eyes closed.[1:11:00] The present is the past biting into the future.----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out. The only criticism I would have is that after each podcast I usually want to buy the book because I am interested so my poor wallet suffers. ” — GarethBe like Gareth.
