Based on his knowledge of Shakespeare’s Henry VI plays, Dr. Jeffrey R. Wilson of Harvard University knew just how HBO's "Game of Thrones" would play out. Jon Snow, the illegitimate son, was a Richard III type, who would win the crown (and our hearts). But Daenerys Targaryen, as a kind of Henry VII, would defeat him in battle and win it back, restoring peace and order. Turns out he was wrong about all of that. But as Wilson kept watching, he began to appreciate the other ways "Game of Thrones" is similar to Shakespeare—like the way that both Shakespeare and George R.R. Martin’s stories translate the history of the Wars of the Roses into other popular genres. Jeff Wilson’s new book, "Shakespeare and 'Game of Thrones,'" explores some of the ways that Shakespeare influenced "Game of Thrones"… as well as some of the ways that "Game of Thrones" has begun to influence Shakespeare. Wilson is interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. Dr. Jeffrey R. Wilson is a faculty member in the Writing Program at Harvard University, where he teaches the Why Shakespeare? section of the University's first-year writing course. His new book, "Shakespeare and 'Game of Thrones,'" was published by Routledge in 2020. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast. Published January 19, 2021. © Folger Shakespeare Library.

Does Hamlet live in a Ptolemaic or Copernican solar system? Is Queen Mab a germ? Which falls faster: a feather or the Duke of Gloucester? In Shakespeare’s time, new scientific discoveries and mathematical concepts were upending the way people looked at their world. Many of those new ideas found their ways into his plays. We speak with Dr. Natalie Elliot about how Shakespeare interpreted the scientific innovations of the early modern period in his art. She is interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. Dr. Natalie Elliot is a storyteller, science writer, and a member of the faculty at St. John’s College. Her essay “Shakespeare’s Worlds of Science” was published in the Winter 2018 edition of The New Atlantis. Elliot is currently working on two books: an exploration of Shakespeare's engagement with early modern science called "Shakespeare and the Theater of the Universe," and a comic novel about woolly mammoths called "Megafauna."

Tune in, enjoy - it's Time to Get Your Khonshu On! BARE BONES: (courtesy of Wiki) Buck and Marc meet up. Marc tells him that he feels betrayed but Buck defends his reasons; he believes that Marc is out of his league and is playing a dangerous game that he is not stable to play. Marc hands over the Ultron head, and much to Buck’s dismay, he cannot believe that Captain America allowed him to keep the head. This proves to Buck that trusting Marc is conceivable. With this is in the air, Marc comes forward with his bipolar disorder and Buck confesses that he felt bad for calling SHIELD. Marc knows a way on how Buck can make it up to him. At the night club, one of the dancers goes to Snapdragon regarding a man in the champagne room looking to sell the Ultron head. She goes to pay this man a visit with a katana drawn but Buck greets her. He is tired of working for Moon Knight and wants to escape this city. To validate his possession, he gives Snapdragon a piece of the Ultron head tech to her so she can bring to her boss. Twenty Million or he will go to Hydra by midnight. To Count Nefaria’s annoyance, this draws him out to the club. Nefaria grabs Buck by the collar and threatens him but he sticks to his story. Nefaria asks for the head and Buck provides. Using his power, he shatters the head; vibranium does not break. From the sky Moon Knight emerges and strikes down Nefaria. By cracking the head, Nefaria releases a pollen that temporary renders his powers useless. Moon Knight uses this window to lay a few blows but the powers eventually remerge and Nefaria flies away. Moon Knight has a conversation with Steve, Peter, and Logan on how they failed, but from a distance, Maya is recording Marc’s body movement as he is clearly talking to someone not seen.

Did Shakespeare intend to publish his sonnets? For whom were they written? What do they reveal about their author? We talk to Dr. Jane Kingsley-Smith about her newest book, The Afterlife of Shakespeare's Sonnets, published by Cambridge University Press in 2019. The book is a social history of the sonnets’ reception, starting with a glowing 1598 review that it's likely practically no one ever read and travelling through over 400 years of readers adoring and abhorring Shakespeare’s 152 complicated poems. Dr. Jane Kingsley-Smith edited Love's Labor's Lost for the Norton Shakespeare Third Edition, and The Duchess of Malfi for Penguin in 2015. She is the author of Shakespeare's Drama in Exile (Palgrave, 2003), and Cupid in Early Modern Literature and Culture (Cambridge University Press, 2010). Kingsley-Smith is interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series. Published January 21, 2020. © Folger Shakespeare Library. All rights reserved.

We’re willing to bet that at some point in school, you read at least of one Shakespeare’s plays. Did you ever wonder why that is? How did Shakespeare go from popular entertainment to freshman-year staple? Professor Joseph Haughey of Northwest Missouri State University takes us back to a time when educators didn’t take Shakespeare seriously and English wasn’t even a subject in school. Haughey’s research focuses on the evolution of the English curriculum in American schools, and, in particular, the role of Shakespeare in that evolution. He is interviewed by Barbara Bogaev.

Olivia Hussey was just fifteen when she was cast in Franco Zeffirelli’s "Romeo and Juliet." When the film was released in October 1968, it catapulted Hussey and her Romeo, Leonard Whiting, to global stardom. Fifty years after the movie’s release, Hussey’s new memoir, "The Girl on the Balcony: Olivia Hussey Finds Life After 'Romeo and Juliet,'" tells the story of the actress’s life before, during, and after Romeo and Juliet. We talked with Hussey and asked her how she felt about Shakespeare before making the movie (“very boring”), filming the balcony scene (“I’d bump my teeth into his chin”), the endless press tour, and whether she’d do it all again.

Our guest this episode is Gunnar Herzig, Managing Director of WFO, the World Forum Offshore Wind, a new organization dedicated to advancing offshore wind globally. We start the conversation by covering what WFO is and why Gunnar saw the need for this new, globally-focused organization. We then explore the state of the global market. Gunnar shares his perspective on the role of the US market, how he sees US innovations in technology and finance contributing to advance the industry globally, and where he sees new opportunities geographically for offshore wind to expand. We wrap up the conversation by discussing what WFO has planned for 2019 including the first global offshore wind summit in Taipei this March. Recorded January 4, 2019. Published January 21, 2019.

My guest this episode is climate advocate Will Hackman. Will hails from America’s heartland, spent three seasons as a commercial fisherman in Alaska, has attended the past three UN climate conferences, and works in DC advancing climate and clean energy policy in the NGO community. We start our conversation by discussing the need for climate action. Why do we need to keep global warming within 2° C, and what will that look like if we’re to take the steps needed to meet that target? Will then sets the record straight on a number of common misconceptions people have about the climate debate. And we close by looking at the federal Administration and at Congress – what impacts have current policies and laws been having, and what are the prospects for more impactful change?

In 1956, Duke Ellington gave a series of concerts at Ontario, Canada’s Stratford Festival. Afterward, festival staff asked the legendary composer—at that point, one of jazz’s elder statesmen—if he’d consider writing a piece about Shakespeare. A year later, Duke Ellington premiered and recorded Such Sweet Thunder, a suite of twelve tunes inspired by the Bard and his characters. We talked with University of New Hampshire Professor of English Douglas Lanier about the suite, the second chapter of Ellington’s career, and how they reflect shifting cultural perceptions of jazz. Lanier, who is also a musician, has written widely about Shakespeare and modern popular culture (in fact, that’s the name of his 2002 book: Shakespeare and Modern Popular Culture), and is an expert on pop adaptations of Shakespeare’s works. He wrote about Ellington’s Such Sweet Thunder for our 2007 exhibition, Shakespeare in American Life. Lanier is interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series.

(For complete show notes https://kuldrinskrypt.com/207 )Recorded: January 7, 2019 / Published: January 8, 2019865-268-4005 / https://kudrinskrypt.comOn this episode: Acceptance within the BDSM Community.[0:43] Rules to Love by[1:10] Krypter:I’ve heard you say on the show that if anyone has questions to write you and I’ve had one for a while that I’m hoping you can help with. Like I said earlier we are relatively new to being out in the community and have been welcomed into to the three local private dungeons in our area. One about 20 minutes from our home the others over an hour away in separate directions. We have a very small core group of people and they all basically take turns hosting events and play parties. The problem we are running into is that about 85% of the people are poly (which we are completely fine with it’s just not for us) and they all play amongst themselves and Master and I only play with each other. We both have explained nicely on multiple occasions that we don’t play with others and are strictly monogamous and a little bit about why. However, they aren’t really accepting that. It also states the same thing on both of our Fetlife profiles. I’ve even had individuals make comments at a vanilla baby shower hosted at one dungeon about giving it time and they’d change my song and I’d join their poly group. So the question is beyond driving 2 hours to a large city which is prohibitive due to children, cost and restrictions due to opposite days off work what does a couple do? The only options we can come up with are: distance ourselves from the local community and only play at home again, drive to a larger city if and when we can schedule it, or continue to put up with the comments/reiterate our stand at every event. Please don’t get me wrong these are very nice individuals and have been happy to accept us into the fold. We just don’t know how to handle the constant inquiries without being downright rude and/or being rejected by the group. Thank you for taking the time to read my email, having such a wonderful show and being such a driving force of safety and understanding in the community.[4:23] Kuldrin:You stated these are good people so it sounds as though they are being playful but also serious in their attempt to change your marriage and dynamic. If it were me, because I tend to be very direct and outgoing, I would pick a munch or gathering where most or all would be and stand together with my sub, get everyone's attention, and then say something like..."Good evening everyone! First, my sub Mayfair and I would like to thank you all for being so welcoming as we have ventured out from the bedroom and into this wonderful local community. She and I never expected to make such wonderful friends and have such great experiences and We thank you all for that. From toys to types of play...it makes us excited to continue this journey together. Speaking of, there is one thing that is making us uncomfortable. We respect everyone's dynamic and seeing all the different ways people are together and play. However, there seems to be a lot of pressure and comments that we should try poly...and that just is not our dynamic. Also, by us stating we are not poly and some continuing to push, we feel as though our hard limits are being pushed without either of us consenting to it. We respect that way of doing things but we don't feel the respect in return...like we are judged for such a "vanilla" marriage dynamic like monogamy. Please understand, we know that no one has done this to make us uncomfortable but we do feel strongly that if people continue to disrespect our marriage by trying to convince us to convert to a poly lifestyle we will have to take our fun back behind the comfort and security of our own closed doors."I would say it with the nicest, yet most sincere and stern tone possible as to offer respect but command authority.[6:36] Krypter:I am sorry to hear that you’ve dealt with a similar issue recently and I hope whatever you did has helped the situation. I think doing an episode on this type of thing would be an excellent idea and I’m sure it would help quite a few people. I imagine it would work for most any situation that people are pushing their agendas on others. Situations like the poly issue, problems with someone pushing you to try a kink because they love it (that’s been an issue also, unfortunately), swinging and I’m sure countless others that I’m not even aware are options. I loved your speech and definitely heard your voice in my head while reading it and can’t wait to hear what else you have to say on the episode if it come I to existence. And if we can do anything to help you with the podcast let my master or I know.[7:27] Kuldrin:Really, when you think about it, it comes down to communication...as it almost always does. If they are joking but serious they may not realize that what they are saying is pushy, rude, inappropriate, judgy, etc. Also, they are like most people who think about consent on the terms of physical actions like sex or the use of impact toys. Even when consent is thought about when it comes to words most people just think about humiliation, degradation, and honorifics when in fact it's also being pushy, being intrusive, being obtuse, ... most people, myself included, are guilty of doing this but when it was brought to my attention...welp...you just can't unlearn things once they're stuck in the noodle.[8:15] I’m curious about the experience of others that have dealt with this, how you handled it and the outcome. Email me your stories and be sure to include if I can share them.[8:31] A brief recap. “If you don’t have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut.”[9:29] Another thing I feel I need to talk to you about is something that happened at a party. A brand new couple came into the middle of a conversation and immediately left because of what they heard. There were a few interracial couples and few singles scattered about in a living room having a rather comical conversation about their lives and the weird things that happen in all relationships, gay, straight, interracial or other and the couple that entered late into the chat packed up and bailed on the party. Later they texted the person that had sponsored them to be there stating that they felt someone of a minority heritage was being made fun of and referenced two people that were doing it. The party host was very concerned about this type of behavior in their house and immediately sought out that truth of the situation.The truth was far from the couple that had left’s perception. The two interracial couples were actually leading the conversation, everyone involved was very close friends, and the main comment made in question was actually said by a very sweet slightly older lady that was quoting a comedian. Oh, and a tattoo that was said to be an S.S. tattoo was a pagan symbol.[11:21] So what is my point? [16:47] So, in wrapping up this topic...

(For complete show notes https://kuldrinskrypt.com/207 )Recorded: January 7, 2019 / Published: January 8, 2019865-268-4005 / https://kudrinskrypt.comOn this episode: Acceptance within the BDSM Community.[0:43] Rules to Love by[1:10] Krypter:I’ve heard you say on the show that if anyone has questions to write you and I’ve had one for a while that I’m hoping you can help with. Like I said earlier we are relatively new to being out in the community and have been welcomed into to the three local private dungeons in our area. One about 20 minutes from our home the others over an hour away in separate directions. We have a very small core group of people and they all basically take turns hosting events and play parties. The problem we are running into is that about 85% of the people are poly (which we are completely fine with it’s just not for us) and they all play amongst themselves and Master and I only play with each other. We both have explained nicely on multiple occasions that we don’t play with others and are strictly monogamous and a little bit about why. However, they aren’t really accepting that. It also states the same thing on both of our Fetlife profiles. I’ve even had individuals make comments at a vanilla baby shower hosted at one dungeon about giving it time and they’d change my song and I’d join their poly group. So the question is beyond driving 2 hours to a large city which is prohibitive due to children, cost and restrictions due to opposite days off work what does a couple do? The only options we can come up with are: distance ourselves from the local community and only play at home again, drive to a larger city if and when we can schedule it, or continue to put up with the comments/reiterate our stand at every event. Please don’t get me wrong these are very nice individuals and have been happy to accept us into the fold. We just don’t know how to handle the constant inquiries without being downright rude and/or being rejected by the group. Thank you for taking the time to read my email, having such a wonderful show and being such a driving force of safety and understanding in the community.[4:23] Kuldrin:You stated these are good people so it sounds as though they are being playful but also serious in their attempt to change your marriage and dynamic. If it were me, because I tend to be very direct and outgoing, I would pick a munch or gathering where most or all would be and stand together with my sub, get everyone's attention, and then say something like..."Good evening everyone! First, my sub Mayfair and I would like to thank you all for being so welcoming as we have ventured out from the bedroom and into this wonderful local community. She and I never expected to make such wonderful friends and have such great experiences and We thank you all for that. From toys to types of play...it makes us excited to continue this journey together. Speaking of, there is one thing that is making us uncomfortable. We respect everyone's dynamic and seeing all the different ways people are together and play. However, there seems to be a lot of pressure and comments that we should try poly...and that just is not our dynamic. Also, by us stating we are not poly and some continuing to push, we feel as though our hard limits are being pushed without either of us consenting to it. We respect that way of doing things but we don't feel the respect in return...like we are judged for such a "vanilla" marriage dynamic like monogamy. Please understand, we know that no one has done this to make us uncomfortable but we do feel strongly that if people continue to disrespect our marriage by trying to convince us to convert to a poly lifestyle we will have to take our fun back behind the comfort and security of our own closed doors."I would say it with the nicest, yet most sincere and stern tone possible as to offer respect but command authority.[6:36] Krypter:I am sorry to hear that you’ve dealt with a similar issue recently and I hope whatever you did has helped the situation. I think doing an episode on this type of thing would be an excellent idea and I’m sure it would help quite a few people. I imagine it would work for most any situation that people are pushing their agendas on others. Situations like the poly issue, problems with someone pushing you to try a kink because they love it (that’s been an issue also, unfortunately), swinging and I’m sure countless others that I’m not even aware are options. I loved your speech and definitely heard your voice in my head while reading it and can’t wait to hear what else you have to say on the episode if it come I to existence. And if we can do anything to help you with the podcast let my master or I know.[7:27] Kuldrin:Really, when you think about it, it comes down to communication...as it almost always does. If they are joking but serious they may not realize that what they are saying is pushy, rude, inappropriate, judgy, etc. Also, they are like most people who think about consent on the terms of physical actions like sex or the use of impact toys. Even when consent is thought about when it comes to words most people just think about humiliation, degradation, and honorifics when in fact it's also being pushy, being intrusive, being obtuse, ... most people, myself included, are guilty of doing this but when it was brought to my attention...welp...you just can't unlearn things once they're stuck in the noodle.[8:15] I’m curious about the experience of others that have dealt with this, how you handled it and the outcome. Email me your stories and be sure to include if I can share them.[8:31] A brief recap. “If you don’t have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut.”[9:29] Another thing I feel I need to talk to you about is something that happened at a party. A brand new couple came into the middle of a conversation and immediately left because of what they heard. There were a few interracial couples and few singles scattered about in a living room having a rather comical conversation about their lives and the weird things that happen in all relationships, gay, straight, interracial or other and the couple that entered late into the chat packed up and bailed on the party. Later they texted the person that had sponsored them to be there stating that they felt someone of a minority heritage was being made fun of and referenced two people that were doing it. The party host was very concerned about this type of behavior in their house and immediately sought out that truth of the situation.The truth was far from the couple that had left’s perception. The two interracial couples were actually leading the conversation, everyone involved was very close friends, and the main comment made in question was actually said by a very sweet slightly older lady that was quoting a comedian. Oh, and a tattoo that was said to be an S.S. tattoo was a pagan symbol.[11:21] So what is my point? [16:47] So, in wrapping up this topic...

Orson Welles is perhaps most famous for his panic-inducing radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds and the award-winning film Citizen Kane. For his entire life though, Welles's obsession was Shakespeare. He produced and starred in Shakespeare plays on Broadway and directed and starred in multiple versions of Shakespeare's work on film, including Chimes at Midnight. Our guest is Michael Anderegg, the author of Orson Welles, Shakespeare, and Popular Culture. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series. Published January 23, 2018. © Folger Shakespeare Library.

For almost a year, one of the hottest topics among solar insiders has been the Suniva trade case. Its petition for the President to impose import duties on certain solar photovoltaic cells and modules created market uncertainty, galvanized the vast majority of the solar industry in opposition to the petition, and left everyone wondering--as usual--what the President would decide. Today, the President issued his decision, bringing the long guessing game to an end. Now the question becomes, what did the President approve, and what will the impact be? Joining the show for immediate feedback less than an hour after the President issued his decision is John Berger, CEO of Houston-based Sunnova, one of the largest residential solar service providers in the U.S. Resources include: US Trade Representative's Fact Sheet announcing President's decision Full USTR solar trade case docket Excellent article by Utility Dive's Krysti Shallenberger last December with solid background and perspectives from both sides Recorded January 22, 2018.

BDSM Consent Counts Pt 1-S01E35 (135)Recorded December 12th, 2018 / Published January 16, 2018Consent is an incredibly important topic to both of us, and should be an important topic for everyone out there. The news these days is filled with stories of consent violations and thankfully our society is beginning to crack down on these violators quickly. However we still have a long way to go within the BDSM community. What is consent exactly?Consent is what a person has knowingly and willingly agreed to a form of participation in. That form and those activities, behaviors, etc. are what that consent applies to. Legally consent is defined as being able to freely give agreement to participate in a(n) (sexual) activity. Many states in the U.S. have separate definitions as well which also specify who is capable of giving consent; for example a child many not consent, nor may a person who is unconscious. For more information about these laws and what your state defines as legal consent we have included a link that will help clarify many of these points. https://www.rainn.org/news/how-does-your-state-define-consent What do we consent to within the context of BDSM?ActivitiesSexual- including everything from kissing to intercourse of any and every kind. This can even include sexual behaviors using inanimate objects. Non-sexual- impact play, punishments, rewards, and anything else you can possibly imagine. You can even choose to consent or not to things like writing journals or taking pictures. Behaviors- kneeling, honouring, or having these behaviors used on you. Dominants need to give their consent too!Why is consent so important? The point could be made that in our vanilla lives we don’t ask for explicitly defined consent for every action, or activity we participate in, so why should we have to do that for BDSM? We have to in BDSM because of the nature of our relationships. Without consent there can be no trust. Without trust there can be no consent. Without both, there can be no relationship of love and respect. We do things within our lifestyles that present risks which require knowing consent to be able to participate in safely. This includes all forms of safety, mental, emotional, and physical. A note on knowing consent- Be aware that to give knowing consent you need to be clear and stable of mind. An unconscious or inebriated person, someone who is mentally ill, or someone who is in an altered state of mind i.e. sub/Domspace will not be able to give clear knowing consent. Finally, within the bounds of vanilla relationships people SHOULD be seeking consent. Types of consent violations. Honest Mistakes vs. AbuseWe have all made honest mistakes at some point, both in and out of the lifestyle. Something as simple as referring to Kuldrin as Master without his permission can be a violation of his consent. If you’re informed of this before addressing him, you could easily make this mistake. At which point I’m certain that he and most others would likely correct and forgive you. To choose to keep doing it though… would be a more a serious violation of consent, and not a mistake. You might have a scene with an established partner but forget to set up silent hand signals and therefore miss a communication opportunity which can lead to a consent violation. It’s a mistake and a dangerous one, but hopefully one that with the right care can be overcome. What makes it abuse?Intent is a huge part of what makes a difference between the two. If you intend to violate the consent of your partner, then you are already an abuser. Mistakes can’t be made with intent, only abuse. How the person who has their consent violated feels is the ultimate tell as to whether that violation has been a simple mistake or just abuse. I have faced both sides of this myself. When it has been a mistake I have found I could apologise and be apologised to. Work could be put in so that trust could be repaired or rebuilt and the relationships have gotten better. When it’s abuse this simply cannot occur. The most you can hope for with abuse is to learn to forgive, even if it's just yourself, and to heal enough to find your own peace. Huge Issues with Consent in the BDSM CommunityMany of the problems with consent in our BDSM community are sadly the same ones plaguing the vanilla world as well. However due to the bondage and sadomasochistic elements of our lifestyle we are also faced with the issue that to those of a vanilla mind-set we can also be portrayed as violent, persons who only wish to tie up, abuse, and violate our ‘victims.’ Now we all know this isn’t true but for a long time, and with no help from pop culture icons like 50 shades of grey, this stereotype is still ongoing. Some of the other huge problems we are facing and I personally would love to help abolish, and hope that I am in some minute way, are silence, oppression, misinformation, and arrogance. Silence comes from a few different places. Shame, fear, and denial of what has occurred can all lead to silence from the victim and from the community. When my consent was violated and I was physically abused to the point of needing to receive immediate medical care, I didn’t want to talk about it. I still very rarely do. I was ashamed at what I had, in my mind, allowed to happen. I was ashamed that I was not able to stop the abuse. There I was, I had consented to everything up until that point, I had been trained to protect myself, to take punishments, and yet I was still in a position where I was harmed. After the immediate event I was in the emergency room, and the police were notified because it was very clear that I had been physically assaulted. That’s when the fear hit me too. I was afraid to speak up, because if I explained to the police how I was harmed they would want to know who did it. I was put into a position where I had to out my assaulter. I had to make the choice to break my silence, because I recognised that this person would likely do something like this again to someone else. But I was still scared, of what the police would think of me, of what would happen to me if and when others learned of the incident, and of what my community would do to me as a result of my outing this person. Many communities will out right shun anyone who outs someone, regardless of the reason. I was facing a terrifying moment, where my defenses were already broken down, and I was afraid to face it alone without any support or understanding. I was lucky enough to find that I did have support and understanding from those in my community, but it is a sad and despicable fact that in many cases this is the opposite of what happens to most victims of abuse. I have since come across several others who will out right deny that they were ever abused. They say they wanted to submit so they had no right to say no to something they weren’t comfortable with. Or that they never said the words “no” or “stop” or called a safe-word, so consent was given. But here’s the huge issue with that, consent is NOT inherent ever. This is what makes communication from all parties and at all times so important. As I was saying, when someone breaks their silence about a consent violation, often a community will try to oppress or deny this abuse ever happened. Whenever we are abused within our community it is recommended to alert our community leaders. However what can we do if it is our community leaders who are the abusers? Who can we then turn to? Too often there is no one. There are also known cases of leaders sweeping known violations under the proverbial rug because they are “friends” with these people, or simply choose to not believe accusations of abuse. It is sheer arrogance that allows these kinds of instances to occur. I recently came across a beautiful piece of writing on Fetlife that I think everyone should check out. It’s by Micchi_Monster, called Believe the Victim, and is truly wonderful. I would like to personally thank them for sharing it. https://fetlife.com/users/1065014/posts/4782318 Protecting yourself.Vetting is a huge part of what you can do to protect yourself from encountering a situation in which your consent, or the consent of another will be violated. Don’t trust only the word of others, regardless of who they are. It’s important to vet those around you but you also have to do your own unbiased research.Trust your instincts. We all have gut feelings and instincts, if your natural red flags are going off there is probably a reason. Beware the people and situations that set them off. Use common sense when entering a situation. Avoid being alone or saying yes to any kind of contact with someone you haven’t properly vetted. Don’t be afraid to say no. If something makes you uncomfortable, no matter how little the thing may seem, you can and should say no. You have your own limits and boundaries to uphold and communicate, which brings us to the end of this two parter episode. We will be picking up this subject again in its second half, boundaries, next week. Next time we are going to dive into Part 2.

Recorded December 3rd, 2017 / Published January 10, 2018Welcome to Kuldrin’s Krypt I’m your host Master Kuldrin. If you are new to the show we use our combined 30 years of experience to dispel myths, get rid of stereotypes, and answer your questions about BDSM. You can call in at 865-268-4005 to leave your question or visit the Krypt at kudrinskrypt.comRules to Love by:1. Safe, sane, consensual, and informed2. KNKI: Knowledge, No Intolerence, Kindness, Integrity3. “Submission is not about authority and it’s not about obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect.” -Wm. Paul YoungOn this episode of the Krypt we are going to talk about BDSM in Literature, and no we’re not discussing 50 Shades but first, I have to welcome my amazing co-host, Funsize.Literature both fiction and nonfiction is a staple of civilized society. The lifestyle is a society in and of itself and we have our literature. Our fictions delve into our deepest fantasies and our non-fictions help us learn and share with others. Funsize you are a huge connoisseur of the written word. What books do you find span the scope of our world the best? Non-fictions:The Topping and Bottoming SeriesThis is a series of books that has been around since the mid 90’s. Written by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy, these books, explore the basics of each perspective in the lifestyle. Dossie Easton also wrote the Ethical Slut which explores polyamory. The Ultimate Guide to Kink by Tristan TaorminoA very well written basics guide to everything you need to know when you first enter the lifestyle. Of course there are a lot of interesting things to be found within these pages even if you aren’t new. BDSM: How to Take Your First Steps into BDSM Another great book for newbies by Scarlett Dalton. Life, Leather, and the Pursuit of Happiness by Steve LenuisThis particular book delves into the history of leather culture and the beginnings of modern BDSM as we know it. History is very important so this is really a must read. You should also check out the Leatherman’s Protocol Handbook by John D. Weal. Other nonfictions to check out when you have a moment are:Raven Kaldera’s books Power Circuits: Polyamory in a Power Dynamic, and Sacred Power, Holy Shrine. Two Knotty Boys and Two Knotty Boys Back on the Ropes, a couple of interesting, educational, and entertaining books on learning the art of rope bondage. Elizabeth Cramer, Kuldrin I know you love her writings just because she keeps things short and simple, which works well with your busy schedule. She has written something like six or seven books detailing how to be a dominant and how to be a submissive. We’re both huge fans for a reason. And finally, Igniting the Fire: the Art of Romantic Submission by Master Arcane. This amazing book illustrates the BDSM dynamic through the eyes of a truly caring dominant. I’ve personally read this book at least twenty times over. If you want to get an idea of what you’ll be reading definitely go back and listen to the amazing interview between Kuldrin and Master Arcane. https://kuldrinskrypt.com/s01e14 There are dozens of others we could recommend but in order to keep me from talking until I’m hoarse this is the list we’re going to have to settle for today. If you have any more suggestions feel free to join in the discussion on our Fetlife group, Kuldrin’s Krypt. FictionSo our starting point for this particular half of the list is a rather obvious choice; the granddaddy of Sadism, the Libertine, Marquis de Sade. Justine explores a whole world of human sexuality, torture, imprisonment, and the duality of the justice system. Even if it doesn’t quite explore true BDSM and power dynamics it is a wonderful read. 120 Days of Sodom is a novel of erotic orgies. While this sounds fun in a sense, this particular tale is all about sexual abuse, torture (not the fun kinds), and finally the slaughter of several characters involved. There are several other works by de Sade, many of them available for free in PDF format. It is however, important to remember while de Sade inspired the word sadism for his works on featuring pain in a sexual setting, much of what is actually portrayed is not respectful or caring. It is in fact abusive and often non-consensual acts in vivid detail so if you can not stomach these things, be sure to skip these classics. The Way of a Man With a Maid by anonymous is actually one of my favorites. This novel portrays a man who is fascinated by a young woman, which leads to acts of obsession, bondage, and questionable consensual content. It’s highly erotic but can again doesn’t accurately portray the consent necessary for anyone truly in the lifestyle. Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty series illustrates the traditional tale of sleeping beauty in a more erotic light. It truly does display certain fetishes and parts of the BDSM lifestyle. Maya Banks the Enforcers Series, Mastered, Dominated, and Kept, are three books which mix the erotism of BDSM with more romantic notes. Quite enjoyable. The Kushiel’s Legacy Series by Jacqueline Carey, which set off my exploration of the lifestyle. I read the very first novel in this series when I was only thirteen years old and when it’s subject matter was discovered it led to a talk which led me to my training years later. It’s still one of my favorite’s not only because of the highly masochistic main character, or the erotic scenes, but also because of the political intrigue. And finally the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Series by Laurell K. Hamilton. The series as it moves along begins to depict more of the lifestyle and even features a submissive character, Nathaniel, to explore what it’s like for some of us out there. What’s more is that these novels, despite their fantasy/ sci-fi setting, still manage to (mostly) accurately display everything from fetish clubs, to power dynamics, to the roles of protectors. I’m clearly a huge fan. So these were the literary works we’ve chosen to delve into. As we said before there are tons more to be found. A final note or two.I’d like to thank our Executive Producer Jeremiah, Our Senior Producer Matt, Producer Missy Lynn and our Jr. Producers K-2SO, Irish Mt. Dragon and The Accidental Trucker.

Recorded December 3rd, 2017 / Published January 10, 2018Welcome to Kuldrin’s Krypt I’m your host Master Kuldrin. If you are new to the show we use our combined 30 years of experience to dispel myths, get rid of stereotypes, and answer your questions about BDSM. You can call in at 865-268-4005 to leave your question or visit the Krypt at kudrinskrypt.comRules to Love by:1. Safe, sane, consensual, and informed2. KNKI: Knowledge, No Intolerence, Kindness, Integrity3. “Submission is not about authority and it’s not about obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect.” -Wm. Paul YoungOn this episode of the Krypt we are going to talk about BDSM in Literature, and no we’re not discussing 50 Shades but first, I have to welcome my amazing co-host, Funsize.Literature both fiction and nonfiction is a staple of civilized society. The lifestyle is a society in and of itself and we have our literature. Our fictions delve into our deepest fantasies and our non-fictions help us learn and share with others. Funsize you are a huge connoisseur of the written word. What books do you find span the scope of our world the best? Non-fictions:The Topping and Bottoming SeriesThis is a series of books that has been around since the mid 90’s. Written by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy, these books, explore the basics of each perspective in the lifestyle. Dossie Easton also wrote the Ethical Slut which explores polyamory. The Ultimate Guide to Kink by Tristan TaorminoA very well written basics guide to everything you need to know when you first enter the lifestyle. Of course there are a lot of interesting things to be found within these pages even if you aren’t new. BDSM: How to Take Your First Steps into BDSM Another great book for newbies by Scarlett Dalton. Life, Leather, and the Pursuit of Happiness by Steve LenuisThis particular book delves into the history of leather culture and the beginnings of modern BDSM as we know it. History is very important so this is really a must read. You should also check out the Leatherman’s Protocol Handbook by John D. Weal. Other nonfictions to check out when you have a moment are:Raven Kaldera’s books Power Circuits: Polyamory in a Power Dynamic, and Sacred Power, Holy Shrine. Two Knotty Boys and Two Knotty Boys Back on the Ropes, a couple of interesting, educational, and entertaining books on learning the art of rope bondage. Elizabeth Cramer, Kuldrin I know you love her writings just because she keeps things short and simple, which works well with your busy schedule. She has written something like six or seven books detailing how to be a dominant and how to be a submissive. We’re both huge fans for a reason. And finally, Igniting the Fire: the Art of Romantic Submission by Master Arcane. This amazing book illustrates the BDSM dynamic through the eyes of a truly caring dominant. I’ve personally read this book at least twenty times over. If you want to get an idea of what you’ll be reading definitely go back and listen to the amazing interview between Kuldrin and Master Arcane. https://kuldrinskrypt.com/s01e14 There are dozens of others we could recommend but in order to keep me from talking until I’m hoarse this is the list we’re going to have to settle for today. If you have any more suggestions feel free to join in the discussion on our Fetlife group, Kuldrin’s Krypt. FictionSo our starting point for this particular half of the list is a rather obvious choice; the granddaddy of Sadism, the Libertine, Marquis de Sade. Justine explores a whole world of human sexuality, torture, imprisonment, and the duality of the justice system. Even if it doesn’t quite explore true BDSM and power dynamics it is a wonderful read. 120 Days of Sodom is a novel of erotic orgies. While this sounds fun in a sense, this particular tale is all about sexual abuse, torture (not the fun kinds), and finally the slaughter of several characters involved. There are several other works by de Sade, many of them available for free in PDF format. It is however, important to remember while de Sade inspired the word sadism for his works on featuring pain in a sexual setting, much of what is actually portrayed is not respectful or caring. It is in fact abusive and often non-consensual acts in vivid detail so if you can not stomach these things, be sure to skip these classics. The Way of a Man With a Maid by anonymous is actually one of my favorites. This novel portrays a man who is fascinated by a young woman, which leads to acts of obsession, bondage, and questionable consensual content. It’s highly erotic but can again doesn’t accurately portray the consent necessary for anyone truly in the lifestyle. Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty series illustrates the traditional tale of sleeping beauty in a more erotic light. It truly does display certain fetishes and parts of the BDSM lifestyle.

Stranova Strategic Edge, Vol. 2, Published January 23, 2006. As broadband and wireless internet services become more widely available, the related "WiFi" wireless antennae covering much larger distances, cities across the world setting up large-scale "free" wireless computer networks, and bandwidths of these connections dramatically increasing, the telecommunications industry is feeling the impacts as well. Through what is known as "Voice Over Internet Protocol", consumers now have many new and significantly less expensive alternatives to more traditional voice communications services such as cellular and "landline" telephone systems. That this is a "hot topic" is no question. From January 24th to January 27th, 2006, in fact, possibly as many as 18,000 people may be attending this year's Internet Telephony Conference & Expo East, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. And radical shifts in the industry from one direction or another, whether from new technologies to support the industry or new distributors of that technology, are announced literally every few days around the world. This episode of Stranova Strategic Edge explores this new world of telecommunications, and what this may mean to consumers, businesses using the services, and the opportunities for further innovation in the near future.
Stranova Strategic Edge, Vol. 1, Published January 8, 2006. It’s been tried with limited degrees of success before, but 2006 looks to be the year when a very “tight” integration of home entertainment media and the internet will indeed come to pass. Our Mini Podcast explores the strategic innovations that prepared the foundations for what is beginning to emerge, and points to where this may lead in the future.
Stranova Vol. 11, Published January 2, 2006, features Jeff Spahn, developer of the "Leaders Leading Leaders" consulting practice, on changing the way we as leaders work with each other - in a new and innovative way. For the those of us who learned leadership as a relationship where “we lead” and “they follow”, this episode points to a much needed and challenging approach to leadership. Our most important role as leaders is in harnessing the collective will of our leadership “teams” to guide co-creation of the future of whatever organization we're a part of. Jeff Spahn's “Leaders Leading Leaders” concepts can help show you how to start your own business revolution.
