We continue to partner with Bros Liquor in Davis, California to bring you some excellent barrel picks. In this short, Kenny and Jason taste and review two Mash Up Barrel picks that are currently available for purchase from Bros Liquor. The two bottles are Old Forester 100 proof (black label) and a Four Roses OBSO Barrel Strength. In addition to these two, they also taste a Knob Creek Barrel pick that was done by our friend Rare Bird 101 (David Jennings). So, if you want to hear about some barrel picks that you can still obtain, this show is for you. Spoiler alert -- with Anthony and Steven out of town, the intro was anything but smooth. Jason gave it the good ole college try. --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupkyJoin our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcastPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!
Filmmaker drew inspiration from Philipstown Lily Weisberg, a 26-year-old filmmaker from New York City, has been directing and producing films in Philipstown since she was a student at Yale. Rare Birds, her most recent short film, was inspired by the natural beauty and "inherent intimacy" of rural Putnam County, she says. She spent many summers in Garrison, riding Metro-North from the city to attend camps at The Depot Theater. Her parents moved to Philipstown while she was in college. Weisberg's 10-minute film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 5 and will be shown again today (June 12) and Saturday. "It's a festival I've dreamed about having a movie in as long as I've been making movies," she said. In the film, a serial klutz named Jerry (Tony Macht) risks losing his job at a local antique store. "He's like a bull in a China shop," Weisberg said, with a laugh. "He obviously should not be working in an antique store." Jerry is also a camp counselor, and one of the campers, 12-year-old Candice (Zoe Ziegler), is a frequent visitor. She is determined to get Jerry fired so the friends can spend more time together. Their relationship, says Weisberg, is "the kind that can only really exist in a small town. They're both these oddball characters, but they're united because they are similar and from the same place." The film was shot at Bowen Barn, a shop in Stanfordville, but Weisberg and her team scouted antique stores in and near Philipstown and Beacon. "We used what we saw in our set design," she said. "I liked the idea of creating this sort of cocoon for them —a cozy, dark antique store where everything's fragile, but it's kind of desolate." Weisberg directed two previous short films, Studio 210 (2021) and Working Summer (2024), at her parents' home. Her mother's studio and gardens served as inspiration for the former, in which an aspiring artist spends a summer at his friend's mother's studio. "I wanted to make something that used all of this beauty that she'd created," said Weisberg of her mother, Deborah Needleman, a basketmaker. Achieving small-town authenticity has its challenges. Child labor laws limited how long Ziegler could be on set, and the Bowen Barn contains many fragile items that required caution when moving cameras and lights. On the plus side, "the energy is just so good with a crew that lives and works in the Hudson Valley," said Weisberg. "People are happy because they're surrounded by nature and beauty. "The fact of just loving a place comes through in a movie," she says. "I want to work in places that I love and have a relationship to." Rare Birds will be screened in New York City today (June 12) at 8:30 p.m. at Spring Studios (50 Varick St.) and on Saturday at 2:15 p.m. at AMC 19th St. East 6 (890 Broadway).

Un nouvel album de PHIDEAUX c'est un bel évènement ! Malheureusement "AutoMoto Animus", titre de ce nouvel opus du multi-instrumentiste texan (dont la musique est traversée par des influences allant de Jethro Tull à Pink Floyd, en passant par Genesis, Vand Der Graff ou encore Bowie), ne sortira qu'après cette saison. Mais le bougre nous laisse une jolie carte de visite avec un premier single à découvrir en ouverture de ce numéro ! La fin de saison approche et il ne reste plus grand chose des atours de Cunégonde qui s'est gracieusement dévoilée depuis la rentrée. Le dernier album d'ANGE vous aura été entièrement exposé tout au long de ce cycle 2024/2025, un superbe opus dans lequel la voix de Tristan Décamps est désormais prédominante mais le Père n'a pas dit son dernier mot, celui de la fin de cet effeuillage sonore sera en effet laissé à Christian Décamps dans notre ultime épisode de fin de saison ! Un groupe qui ayant quelques difficultés à se trouver un nom, "oiseau rare" (but in english in the text!), publie son premier album éponyme en 1969 après avoir été repéré par Tony Smith, le manager de Genesis et Van Der Graaf Generator. Belle opération pour le businessman car le titre "Sympathy" va pulvériser les charts, surtout hors de leur Angleterre natale (il seront par exemple numéro un en France). Mais comme ce "tube" est suffisamment diffusé dans toute bonne radio commerciale qui se respecte, je vous propose donc ici un autre extrait de ce coup d'essai réussi, premier d'une série de 5 albums jusqu'à la dissolution des RARE BIRD en 1974. Parlons maintenant d'une naissance, l'arrivée dans la scène régionale d'un groupe jazz fusion baptisé UNSQUARE. Ce quartet nantais se définit comme du jazz progressif. Deux singles ont été publiés en 2025 sur les plateformes de streaming et un premier EP est attendu pour la fin de cette année. En cas d'impatience ou de curiosité, vous pourrez aller les voir en concert dans le cadre du PROG NIGHT qui se déroulera au Floride à Nantes le 26 juin. Ils y partageront l'affiche avec les groupes Elements et Hamasaari. En attendant, l'un de leurs singles est proposé à vos cages à miel dans cette émission. Autre nouvelle formation, cette fois, plutôt le versant métal du prog : DUALISIS. Un métal qui reste mélodique et accessible avec une jolie voix féminine. Leur 1er EP "Us" est de bonne augure pour la suite. Ils seront également visibles sur pas mal de scènes avec un agenda bien rempli jusqu'à la fin de l'année ! Pour la région de votre radio préférée, je peux vous indiquer demain 12 juin le V'n B de Saint-Herblain, sinon plus tard et plus au nord : Hennebont (Morbihan) le 10 juillet. Plein d'autres dates sur leur site ! Direction les Pays-Bas avec le nouvel album de GLORIOUS WOLF : "Elements Of Hope". J'ai découvert ce projet porté par Ruud Dielen il y a maintenant 3 ans et quel plaisir de replonger dans son univers ! Ruud est un passionné et s'inspire du rock progressif "old school". Mais attention il produit toutefois une musique ancrée dans notre époque et superbement produite. Le concept de sa dernière œuvre est le passage d'un enfant à l'âge adulte dans un monde chaotique, se retrouvant confronté à de nouveaux défis, comme l'IA. Mais comme le titre l'indique, il y a des raisons d'espérer ! Depuis que Sony s'est offert le catalogue de PINK FLOYD, les commerciaux de la firme se démènent pour nous amener à dépenser régulièrement nos soussous dans leur popoche en revisitant sous toutes les formes possibles les productions de la poule aux oeufs d'or… Cette fois encore ils font appel à Steven Wilson pour rafraichir un peu le teint de cette institution. Il s'agit cette fois d'une compilation de 7 titres considérés sans doute comme les plus "bankables" pour essayer d'attirer un nouveau public et d'un 8ème pour nous convaincre, nous les anciens, de mettre aussi et encore la main à la poche, ce titre étant proposés dans une version quasi inédite ! 1977, l'album "Animals". Rappelez-vous l'album commence par un très court titre acoustique dédié à la nouvelle femme de Roger Waters, Carolyne Christie. Ce titre, "Pigs On The Wings", est repris en clôture de l'album pour une 2ème partie toute aussi courte. Or à l'origine, cette chanson ne devait en faire qu'une seule, avec sur le pont, un savant l'un de ces solos de guitare comme David Gilmour sait si bien les faire. Par mégarde en tripatouillant la console pendant l'absence de l'ingé-son, nos musiciens effacent le solo de guitare (on est à l'ère de l'analogique, l'opération est irréversible). Entre alors en cabine Snowy White, guitariste de soutien de scène du groupe (qui collaborera ensuite avec le claviériste Richard Wright pour son premier album solo "Wet Dream" en 1978 puis avec Roger Waters après son départ du Floyd). On propose à Snowy de jouer un solo sur le pont de "Pigs On The Wings", la prise est gardée et le titre est prévu de sortir sous cette forme. Mais Waters choisi finalement de couper le titre en deux partie pour "encadrer" l'album, exit le pont et donc la partie de Snowy White. La prise originale est toutefois disponible (mais rare !) sur la version cartouches 8 pistes de l'album, concurrence à l'époque de la cassette audio et qui avait pour avantage de pouvoir tourner en boucle sans avoir à être retournée. Ce format, bien plus encombrant que la cassette, sera utilisé essentiellement en radio pour les jingles et les pubs mais ne sera pas développé pour le grand public en Europe. Il connaîtra une distribution assez confidentielle en Amérique du Nord. En anglais cette cartouche est appelée tout simplement "8-tracks cartridge", ainsi la nouvelle compilation, comportant par ailleurs 8 titres a donc été baptisée du double juste titre "8-Tracks". L'extrait proposé dans ce numéro est cette rare version "non coupée" et avec le solo de White que personnellement je n'avais jamais entendue ! Revenons en France, y compris dans le texte avec une écriture véritable pièce d'orfèvrerie : ALCAZ. Je ne connaissais pas encore ce duo marseillais dont le dernier album intitulé "Le Nid des Anges" est paru l'année dernière. 7ème opus de Jean-Yves Liévaux et Viviane Cayol, mais malheureusement Viviane a été emportée par la maladie peu de temps après sa publication. Reste ce bel héritage que je ne connaissais pas, une musique et des mots que je vous invite à parcourir et une pensée pour Viviane, qui par ailleurs était également peintre. Extrait de ce "Nid des Anges" dans cet épisode d'Amarok. Repartons aux USA, pas pour la coupe du monde (qui à vrai dire m'importe peu), mais pour ce diptyque orwellien "2084" par BUILT FOR THE FUTURE. Il s'agit du 4ème album de ce groupe de San Antonio (Texas). Curieusement le communiqué de presse ne le cite pas mais "2084 La Fin Du Monde" est un livre de Boualem SANSAL. Alors je ne sais pas si le groupe s'en est inspiré ou en a juste repris le titre , n'ayans pas (encore) lu cet ouvrage. Mais côté musique, il s'agit donc après "2084 Heretic" (le précédent album) de "2084 Empire" qui paraît en double CD. Nos texans futuristes sont de musiciens qui écumaient déjà les scènes dans les années 80 mais qui, motivés par les croisement du rock progressif et de la pop qualitative, de Tears For Fears et Rush à Pink Floyd (encore eux !) décidaient donc de construire l'avenir avec ce beau projet et leur style personnel. Bien leur en a pris, un bel univers à découvrir. Si MIKE OLDFIELD et Richard Branson étaient potes à l'époque de Tubular Bells et dans début des 70's, le second, patron entre autres des disques Virgin, est devenu le meilleur ennemi du premier qui rongeait son frein (bizarre ça comme expression d'ailleurs, qui fait ça ?!!!) en attendant d'être libéré de ses obligations contractuelles au sein du célèbre label. En guise d'ultime album, alors que le milliardaire attendait de son poulain une nouvelle version des fameuses cloches tubulaires, le Maëstro publie en 1991 l'album libérateur "Heaven's Open" qu'il signe de son prénom complet "Michael" et dont il s'approprie exceptionnellement le poste de chanteur principal (ce qui n'est pas sa qualité première). Comme s'il voulait savonner la planche de son patron avant de livrer le "Tubular Bells II" tant attendu à sa nouvelle écurie WEA dès l'année suivante. Un album atypique donc, mais où Oldfield se lâche par exemple en flirtant à sa manière avec des rythmes reggae sur le titre diffusé dans cet épisode : Rendez-moi tous mes attributs ! L'une des influences "old school" de Ruud (cité plus haut pour Glorious Wolf) a peut-être été ce groupe de compatriotes des seventies : FOCUS. On retrouve ici les néerlandais sur le 2ème album logiquement intitulé à l'origine "Focus II" et paru en 1971, album devenu par la suite plus connu et réédité sous le nom de "Moving Waves", histoire de finir en douceur cette nouvelle étape au pays des musiques progressives, l'une des dernières avant la fin du voyage dans deux semaines déjà… Thierry Joigny AMAROK, chaque jeudi, à 20h
This week on Birds of a Feather Talk Together, we're revisiting one of our favorite interviews with legendary birder Peter Kaestner—the first person in history to see more than 10,000 bird species in the wild.While John continues his birding adventures in New Zealand and Australia, we thought it was the perfect time to revisit this incredible conversation. Peter recently came up on the podcast when Shannon recognized one of his recordings of a Rwenzori Turaco, reminding us just how remarkable his birding journey has been.Peter is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished birders in the world. Over decades of global travel, he has observed more bird species than anyone else in history, visiting remote corners of the planet in pursuit of rare birds, endemic species, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.Field Museum ornithologists and curators of birds John Bates and Shannon Hackett join RJ and Amanda Pole to talk with Peter about world birding, bird identification, rare birds, international birding travel, conservation, and the adventures that come with a lifetime spent exploring the natural world.From incredible sightings and close calls to lessons learned from thousands of birding expeditions, Peter shares fascinating stories, hard-earned wisdom, and a passion for birds that is impossible not to appreciate.If you love birding, birdwatching, rare birds, wildlife travel, ornithology, bird conservation, bird identification, and extraordinary birding stories from around the world, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow:YouTube InstagramTikTokBlueSky

This week on Birds of a Feather Talk Together, we're talking about one of the most beautiful doves in the world: the Pink-headed Fruit Dove.Native to the mountain forests of Indonesia, the Pink-headed Fruit Dove is known for its stunning pink head and chest, vibrant green body, and striking necklace-like markings. Because these birds live in remote high-elevation habitats, they haven't been studied as extensively as many other bird species, which makes them even more fascinating to explore.Shannon picked this week's bird—unsurprisingly, because she loves the color pink—and the conversation quickly turned into an appreciation of just how incredible and unusual this species really is. We discuss the dove's appearance, habitat, behavior, and why tropical birds like this capture so much imagination among birders and ornithologists alike.We also answer a listener mailbag question from Kelsey about the Black-and-white Warbler, including bird behavior and identification tips related to this unique species.As always, it's married ornithologists and curators of birds at the Field Museum John Bates and Shannon Hackett, alongside RJ and Amanda Pole learning right along with you.If you love birding, birdwatching, tropical birds, rare birds, bird behavior, ornithology, wildlife, and fascinating bird facts, this is a really fun episode you won't want to miss.Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow:YouTube InstagramTikTokBlueSky

The population of Wayne's warblers, which rely on wetland forests, has precipitously declined in recent years.
En 1977, deux potes quelques peu accrocs se soutiennent mutuellement et artistiquement. Ainsi David Bowie va produire au célèbre château d'Hérouville et à Berlin un IGGY POP qui vient de quitter les Stooges. C'est la fameuse période de la trilogie berlinoise pour le premier et une émancipation réussie pour le second dont le premier album "The Idiot" sera à juste titre bien accueilli, comme le beau bébé en ouverture de ce numéro ! Retour en 2026 (merci au Kid de m'avoir prêté sa Dolorean ! ) pour la sortie d'un album "évènement" comme on dit, puisqu'il s'agit du 2ème album solo du guitariste et membre fondateur des Spock's Beard, j'ai nommé ALAN MORSE. En Solo donc mais fort bien accompagné, par exemple par son frère Neal, ou encore Simon Phillips,Tony Levin (qui fait un joli doublé dans ce numéro ! ). En France aussi on peut se réjouir de talents actifs, pour preuve je vous emmène dans le Jura découvrir le nouvel album de MESSALINE, groupe réputé et à juste titre, qui (sous leur ancienne dénomination "Absurds") a eu l'honneur de faire des 1ère parties prestigieuses comme Ange ou encore Porcupine Tree... "Alias Lilith", tel est le nom du nouvel album....indispensable ! Depuis le décès du batteur et parolier Neil Peart en 2020, il semblait à priori évident que le trio canadien de RUSH mettent un point final à une déjà bien belle carrière...Mais c'était sans compter sur la détermination du duo Lee - Lifeson qui a finalement décidé de partir en tournée refaire vivre la légende, aidé par la talentueuse batteuse allemande Anika Nilles. Selon le communiqué de la formation, il s'agit de rendre hommage à Neil mais aussi d'ouvrir une nouvelle voie rythmique pour le groupe, alors comment ? Lives, nouvel album ? Comptez sur moi pour vous tenir au courant et en attendant vous pourrez les voir sur scène à Paris le 19 février 2027, on en reparlera forcément d'ici là. Retour dans cette émission sur l'album "Test For Echo" de 1996...tiens l'année de naissance de votre radio préférée !! Un autre artiste qui nous manque et qui a toujours une place de choix dans mes cages à miel, pour son talent, sa sensibilité et disons le, pour avoir mis le pied à l'étrier d'un certain Mike Oldfield, le fondateur des Soft Machine KEVIN AYERS. Ici sur son 5ème album depuis son départ de la Machine (qui sort un nouvel album le mois prochain, on y reviendra vous pensez bien ! ), "The Confusion Of Doctor Dream And Other Stories" en 1974. J'évoquais la participation de Tony Levin pour sa participation au nouvel album d' Alan Morse, le revoici, certes un peu plus jeune (en 1981) au sein de sa formation d'emploi, KING CRIMSON, alors réactivée après un silence radio de quelques années. Le retour du patron Robert Fripp et ses amis se fera sous le sceau... de la "Discipline" ! Retour dans l'hexagone, plus précisément du côté de Surgères, on est pas très loin de La Rochelle et surtout de St Palais, haut lieu de rencontre annuelle du rock progressif ! Et d'ailleurs on aimerait bien y retrouver un jour ces talentueux amis d'enfance : TOM BENARD ET ANTO. Je dis duo mais Tom Bénard et Anthony Machet ont su aussi s'entourer de musiciens expérimentés pour les soutenir et le résultat est une franche réussite ! POLARIS est un album pour les aficionados de fusion mais qui reste accessible à tous (évidemment pour peu qu'on écoute autre chose que de la variété ! ) et j'espère que l'extrait diffusé dans ce numéro vous donnera l'envie de les découvrir et de le faire savoir autour de vous : oui nos régions ont du talent !! Direction la Suède. A l'instar d'Alan Morse, HASSE FRÖBERG est lui aussi guitariste et membre fondateur d'une institution du prog (en l'occurrence les Flowers Kings) et je vous offre une tranche de son 2ème projet solo connu sous le nom raccourci de HFMC (pour Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion) " et son album "Powerplay" initialement paru en 2012. Depuis d'autres productions sont parues mais celle-ci vient tout juste de faire l'objet d'une réédition (son remasterisé et titres live en bonus) alors ne boudons pas notre plaisir de revisiter cet opus ! Une petite touche folk anglaise avec JETHRO TULL et son éternel joueur de flute Ian Anderson qui en 2017 a réactivé la formation après quelques productions solo. Je dis réactivé mais il s'agit plus de redonner le nom de cette prestigieuse entité à une nouvelle formation, ce qui n'enlève rien à la qualité du dernier album "Curious Ruminant" sorti il y a un an. Mais dans ce numéro je vous propose de faire plus "vintage" et d'évoquer "Stormwatch" sorti en 1979, un petit joyau ! Malgré un "hit" archi diffusé ("Sympathy" en 1970), RARE BIRD n'est pas le groupe de rock progressif le plus souvent évoqué alors que leur son en était parfaitement représentatif dans cette décennie glorieuse pour ce genre musical... Sans doute ce titre fut trop "réducteur", ne laissant pas imaginer au "progueux" ce qu'il y avait derrière et inversement, les amateurs de pop et variété ont peut-être été déstabilisés en voulant creuser la production de ce groupe... Toujours est-il qu'écouter par exemple l'extrait de l'album "As Your Mind Flie By", permet de se faire quand même une bonne idée du son rock prog des 70's ! Réhabilitons ce groupe nom de Zeus ! Et pour clôturer en beauté ce 256ème épisode en direct d'Amarok, retour sur le dernier album en date du groupe ARENA, "The Theory Of Molecular Inheritance", sorti il y a déjà 4 ans. Profitons encore de la voix de Damian Wilson car ce dernier rend son tablier et quittera la formation après une série de concerts qui seront donnés en fin d'année, cédant ensuite le micro à son prédécesseur de retour au bercail Paul Manzi... vous suivez ? Et si on se mettait à espérer un nouvel album d'ici l'année prochaine ? En attendant, live long and prosper !! Thierry Joigny Chaque jeudi, à 20h

The bird really exists!" he exclaimed, overjoyed.Zh: 同学们被他的发现所震惊,纷纷围过来看照片。En: His classmates were amazed by his discovery and gathered around to see the photo.Zh: 大家都被这场惊喜开启了新的一段友情旅程。En: Everyone was thrilled by this surprise, marking the beginning of a new journey of friendship.Zh: 当天的返回途中,明感受到一种前所未有的温暖。En: On the return trip that day, Ming felt a warmth he had never experienced before.Zh: 他不仅实现了自己的小目标,还因此结交了更多的朋友。En: Not only had he achieved his small goal, but he also made more friends because of it.Zh: 原来,只要勇敢迈出一步,和大家分享自己的热爱,就能打破人与人之间的隔墙。En: It turned out, just by bravely taking a step forward and sharing his passion with everyone, he could break down the walls between people.Zh: 这样的明,带着更多的自信和归属感走入了新的一年。En: With more confidence and a sense of belonging, Ming stepped into the new year.

chill in the air, and the autumn colors bathed the forest ground, making it sparkle.Hi: यह समय था जब प्रियंका, रोहित और अंजलि जंगल की गहराईयों में एक अद्वितीय रोमांचक यात्रा पर निकले थे।En: It was the time when Priyanka, Rohit, and Anjali embarked on a unique and thrilling journey into the depths of the forest.Hi: जिम कॉर्बेट नेशनल पार्क के पास एक घना जंगल था, जहाँ प्रवासी पक्षियों का आगमन हुआ था।En: Near Jim Corbett National Park, there was a dense forest where migratory birds had arrived.Hi: प्रियंका, एक प्रकृति फोटोग्राफर थी, जो एक दुर्लभ प्रवासी पक्षी की तस्वीर खींचना चाहती थी।En: Priyanka, a nature photographer, wanted to capture a shot of a rare migratory bird.Hi: उसके साथ थे उसके बचपन के दोस्त रोहित, जो जंगली रोमांच को लेकर संकोच में रहता था, और अंजलि, जो अनुभवी वन्यजीव मार्गदर्शक थी, अपने शांत स्वभाव और ज्ञान के लिए प्रसिद्ध।En: Accompanying her were her childhood friend Rohit, who was hesitant about wilderness adventures, and Anjali, an experienced wildlife guide, known for her calm demeanor and knowledge.Hi: शाम को जंगल के बीचों-बीच उन्होंने अपना कैंप लगाया।En: In the evening, they set up their camp in the heart of the forest.Hi: पेड़ों के झुरमुटों के बीच से

strong desire to capture that rare bird in her lens.Hi: अचानक, मौसम ने करवट ली।En: Suddenly, the weather turned.Hi: घने बादल छाने लगे और तेज हवाएँ चलने लगीं।En: Dense clouds gathered, and strong winds

the weather," she advised.Hi: रोहित को चिंता थी।En: Rohit was worried.Hi: "क्या यह सही समय है?En: "Is this the right time?"Hi: " उसने पूछा।En: he asked.Hi: लेकिन प्रियंका की आँखे चमक उठीं, "यही तो अवसर है, रोहित!En: But Priyanka's eyes lit up, "This is the opportunity, Rohit!Hi: यह पक्षी इसी मौसम में दिखते हैं।En: This bird appears in this weather."Hi: " उसकी आवाज में साहस और जुनून दोनों थे।En:

हुए कहा, "चलो, मैं तुम्हें रास्ता दिखाऊँगी।En: Anjali nodded and said, "Come on, I'll show you the way."Hi: "बारिश और तेज़ हवाओं के बीच, तीनों जंगल में आगे बढ़े।En: Amidst the rain and strong winds, the three moved forward into the forest.Hi: पेड़ों की पत्तियाँ तेजी से हिल रही थीं।En: The leaves of the trees were shaking rapidly.Hi: बारिश के बीच प्रियंका की आँखों ने आखिरकार उसे देख ही लिया।En: In the rain, Priyanka's eyes finally caught sight of it.Hi: एक खूबसूरत पक्षी एक उच्च शाखा पर बैठा था, उसके पंखों पर पानी की बूंदे चमक रही थीं।En: A beautiful bird was perched on a high branch, its feathers glistening with droplets of water.Hi: प्रियंका ने अपनी कैमरा उठाई और अपने सबसे अच्छे शॉट के लिए तैयार हो गई।En: Priyanka raised her camera and got ready for her best shot.Hi: बारिश की बूंदें

Just as she was about to click, the bird flew.Hi: उसने बटन दबाया, और पक्षी उड़ते हुए उसकी कैमरे में कैद हो गया।En: She pressed the button, capturing the bird in flight on her camera.Hi: जब तूफान थमा,

मुस्कान थी।En: Priyanka had a big smile on her face.Hi: उसने वह दुर्लभ फोटो ले ली थी जिसकी उसे ख्वाहिश थी।En: She had taken the rare photo she had wished for.Hi: रोहित ने महसूस किया कि प्रियंका की

while the lights of Deepavali sparkled in the sky, the three toasted to their adventurous journey.Hi: यह एक यात्रा थी जो उनके जीवन का हिस्सा बन गई थी, और उन्होंने जीवन की सुंदरता को एक नई नजर से देखा।En: It was a trip that became a part of their lives, and they saw the beauty of life with a new perspective.

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Avik dives straight into the difference between a motivating “why” and an enduring purpose with guest Meghan Walsh—holistic coach and author of Rare Birds: Break Free from the Flock, Find Your Purpose. We unpack practical intuition (heart-centered check-ins), dealing with self-doubt and limiting beliefs, and how to turn so-called “weaknesses” into leadership strengths. Clear, applicable steps for anyone feeling successful on paper but unfulfilled in life and work. About the guest : Meghan Walsh spent 18 years in corporate leadership before choosing a values-aligned path as a holistic coach, speaker, and author. Through positive psychology and energy work, she helps high achievers reconnect to intuition, release self-doubt, and live their unique purpose. Her book, Rare Birds, releases Tuesday, September 23. Key takeaways: “Why” fuels action; “purpose” is the GPS. Your why can change with life seasons, while purpose provides longer-term direction. Intuition is quieter than the thinking mind. A quick heart-connection practice (breathe, place two fingers on the heart, ask, wait) helps you hear it. Self-doubt often masks self-worth issues. Notice procrastination and triggers; ask, “What's coming up for me right now?” to surface the story underneath. Rewrite old scripts through action. Small next steps compound, build evidence, and replace limiting agreements with empowering ones. Emotions are data, not defects. Meghan's “silver lining model” (Acknowledge–Connect–Empower) reframes perceived weaknesses into leadership strengths. Success “on paper” without fulfillment is a signal, not a sentence. There is always another path if you're willing to take the first step. Start today: do the 2-minute heart check-in, name one limiting belief, choose one simple action that aligns with your purpose. Book note: Rare Birds offers tools to identify your purpose, recalibrate self-talk, and set aligned boundaries. .

The overall state of birds can seem rather grim. Almost a third of North American bird species are in decline, and in the last five decades, more than 100 species have lost over half of their populations. This is primarily due to lack of food—fewer insects to eat—and habitat loss, like the development of grasslands. But there's a bright spot: Some birds that were once rare are now abundant, like the merlin, sandhill crane, and pileated woodpecker. Host Ira Flatow talks with biologist Tom Langen, who explains these birds' remarkable comebacks, and discusses his conservation work to bring threatened fish species back from the brink. Guest: Dr. Tom Langen is a professor of biology at Clarkson University.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com. Subscribe to this podcast.

The year 1925 was arguably the peak of literature's centrality. There were more magazines, more journals, more reviews, more book news, and more book gossip than ever before or since. Literature's rivals for cultural attention were on the rise-film was becoming a more significant part of people's media diet, radio was just taking off, television technologies were advancing--but literature was still king. Even mediocre books got dozens of reviews, and the reviews were (most often) thoughtful and intellectually engaged. The belief that literary writing was an essential and consequential business was nearly universal. Modernist ferment continued to excite discussion while the pulp revolution in genre fiction--detective stories, science fiction, Westerns, romance--was booming. These popular books, even if sometimes condescended to, were also given thoughtful review attention. This encyclopedia was written as we approached the 100th anniversary of the annus mirabilis. In what follows, we can see the seeds of virtually every aspect of our cultural life, from art, literature, theater, and music to physics, philosophy, social science, and political discourse. The fear of environmental degradation, the corruption in our politics, the competing claims of utopianism and dystopia, the bitterly divided views on science, mass media, art, nature, justice, generations, community, freedom, sexuality, race, immigration--all can be seen in their budding or full-blown gore and glory in 1925.

Ónagh Kelly recently sent us a recording of a very striking bird sound captured in Phoenix Park. It was none other than the territorial “drumming” sound of a Great Spotted Woodpecker. Ónagh joins us to talk about the various birds that frequent the iconic park.
It's a classic birding bummer — sometimes a rare bird comes to light too late for birders to see it, to the chagrin of those who missed out.

David Jennings aka Rare Bird 101 is back again! Talking turkey? Nope. This time around, David joins us to talk about his new whiskey company Washington Lafayette Revolutionary Spirits and the very first releases from the brand which are Caleb's Crossing Bourbon & Rye. These whiskeys will be exclusively available on Bourbonoutfitter.com on April 4th. But, what do they taste like? Perhaps more importantly, what is the story behind these bottles? Caleb's Crossing Bourbon is a blend of 6 and 7 year old straight whiskeys that is dual cask finished in Pineau des Charentes and Armagnac Casks and slow proofed to perfection. Caleb's Crossing Rye starts off as an 8 year 95/5 rye whiskey and is also finished in Pineau casks. Both of these whiskeys taste as unique as the story behind them. David takes the time to explain the painstaking process he went through to craft these whiskeys and delves further into the family story that made it all possible. While we have plenty of fun in this episode and talk a little Turkey and Raconteur, the majority of this fascinating conversation is focused on Caleb's Crossing and what David has in store for the future. We promise you will want to listen all the way to "the finish." --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyTW: https://twitter.com/themashupkyPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPVisit https://woodworkcollective.shop and enter code MASHUP for a 15% discount on your orderMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!
The opening episode of Reverberations Season 2 is a conversation with Owls, a pioneering string group that flips the traditional string quartet model to produce an ensemble with 1 violin, 1 viola and 2 cellos. All four members of the group are represented on the call: violinist Alexi Kenney, violist Ayane Kozasa, and cellists Gabriel Cabezas and Paul Wiancko. In the episode, we explore the implications of this “inverted string quartet” in terms of musical dynamics, and how Owls co-creates the repertoire it plays. We also touch on Owls' childhood love of hockets, pitch matching, and their debut album, Rare Birds. Says Kenney: “We love trying to be each other's sounds.”Support the show
