This video introduces Cesare Borgia, a central figure of the "italian renaissance" whose audacious "power struggle" and "machiavellian tactics" are explored. We examine the "historical facts" behind his ascent, noting how his actions influenced "niccolo machiavelli" and shaped the era of "pope alexander vi."In this episode of Hidden Forces in History, we follow the Borgia rise:- How Rodrigo Borgia bought the papacy and became Pope Alexander VI- The murder of Juan Borgia and why Rome blamed Cesare- Cesare's brutal conquest of the Romagna (and the Senigallia trap)- The poison rumors, the fear weapon, and why their reputation “worked”- How their corruption helped ignite the chain reaction leading to Reformation-era backlash- The real pattern: institutions with moral authority becoming cover for private powerThis isn't Renaissance gossip. It's a template—old, repeatable, and still visible today.

Step into the shadowed corridors of history with the latest episode of Cryptic Chronicles as we unravel the enigmatic world of Renaissance demonology. This was a time when the arcane intersected with the intellectual, as scholars, theologians, and occultists sought to catalog the infernal hierarchy and decode the mysteries of dark spirits. In this episode, we delve into the era's most infamous grimoires, explore the influence of Renaissance magic on the perception of demons, and examine how cultural and religious shifts shaped humanity's understanding of the supernatural. Whether you're fascinated by the lore of infernal pacts or the philosophical debates of the time, this episode shines a light on the Renaissance's complex dance with the demonic.

Order 'The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition' by Professor James Hankins here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Golden-Thread-Ancient-World-Christendom/dp/1641773995UnHerd's Freddie Sayers talks with Professor James Hankins, a forty-year veteran of Harvard University, about the precarious state of the Western tradition and the burgeoning resistance movement in classical education. Moving through a 2,500-year narrative arc from the ancient Greek invention of reason to the modern-day "cult of innovation," Hankins warns that elite institutions are suffering from a dangerous cultural amnesia. But, despite the degradation of the canon, offers a defiant hope rooted in history, arguing that Western civilisation has survived near-extinction before and remains ripe for a new Renaissance.

Guillermo del Toro has yet to find any boundaries when it comes to intimacy within a story or the scope of its telling. He uses genre like a stained palette, leaving residue of fusions and clear-cut influences.So it makes sense that his debut, CRONOS, is no different. Del Toro reinvents the vampire using alchemy, entomology, Gothic principles, the mixture of Medevial and Renaissance periods. But anchoring this smattering of ideas is the simplest one: the unconditional love between a grandfather and granddaughter.Jesus Gris (Federico Luppi) is a Mexican antique shop owner raising his granddaughter Aurora (Tamara Xanath). One day, they discover a golden egg-shaped device hidden in one of the shop's archangel statues. After fumbling with the device's dial, Jesus is wounded when the Cronos machine pops out sharp, insect-like legs and latches itself into his hand, Facehugger-style. What starts as mere accident lingers in Jesus' mind as he finds himself not only drawn to the device but also its method of doling out pain. The more Jesus uses the Cronos device, the more vivacious and young he feels. But this newfound rejuvenation comes with an aching appetite for flesh, for blood.CRONOS introduces many of the subjects found throughout Del Toro's 30+ year career: death, fatherhood, the clash between an archaic past and promising future, Ron Perlman. It sometimes feels as though the movie is incapable of holding all the thought that went into its world's development but that's part of what I enjoy about Del Toro. His movies are never complete after first viewing. In a way, they're the amuse bouche to the boundless mind that hides beneath, a mere foyer to a curious mansion.---Please rate and review The Movies wherever you listen to podcasts!Financially support the show using the tip jar.Follow The Movies on Instagram & Letterboxd

The greatest energy source for civilization before the steam engine was wind. It powered the global economy in the Age of Sail. Wind-powered sail ships made global shipping fast and cheap by harnessing free, reliable ocean winds to propel large cargo loads over vast distances without needing fuel or frequent stops. It also powered windmills, the factories of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Windmills allowed for abundant bread by milling flour by turning heavy grindstones with wind-driven sails. They also powered trip hammers to forge iron and steel by lifting and dropping massive weights. We can credit them as well for pumped water, sawed timber, and processed oils, spices, and paper. Wind is one of most elemental yet overlooked forces shaping our world today, and it is at the center of the human story. Many times it changed history – such as “Protestant Wind” saving England from the Spanish Armada, kamikaze winds halting the Mongol invasions of Japan, and easterlies carrying Chernobyl’s fallout. Wind also powers massive turbines today, but there was a forgotten moment in the 1880s when we could’ve chosen wind power over fossil fuels. It even creates certain types of civilizations. Some historians believe the cleverest and most civilized people lived in places where weather was varied and posed constant challenges. Today’s guest is Simon Winchester, author of “The Breath of the Gods: The History and Future of the Wind.” We look at how wind—life‐giving and destructive, chaotic and harnessable — has shaped civilization from antiquity to today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable type printing press. The mass production of books and other printed texts revolutionized the world. Gutenberg created a transformation in knowledge acquisition and communication. This kicked off the first information age. The printing press had a bigger effect on the world than the computer or the internet.

In a landmark interview on The Ash Said It Show, Tom Buchsbaum, co-founder of Austin Craft Spirits, detailed the origin story of a brand that is systematically redefining the American spirits landscape. Transitioning from tech innovation to precision distilling, Buchsbaum has positioned Austin 101 at the intersection of Texas Terroir and Environmental Stewardship. The Genesis: Solving the "Bourbon Fatigue" Market Gap Buchsbaum's moment of conviction came from identifying a "White Space" in the spirits industry. While the market was saturated with heavy, oak-forward Bourbons and spicy Ryes, there was a profound lack of high-clarity, grain-forward spirits. Austin 101 was engineered to bridge the gap between premium vodka and traditional whiskey. By utilizing the Light Whiskey designation, Buchsbaum's team distills at a higher purity—precisely between 160 and 190 proof—resulting in a spirit that retains the complex esters of the grain without the aggressive wood tannins of a virgin barrel. The Science of Texas Terroir: Steam Distillation The brand's "flavor-first" philosophy is powered by a custom-engineered 42-foot steam-jacketed column still. Unlike traditional direct-fire stills that can scorch the mash, Austin 101's precision thermal control operates below 210∘F. The Mash Bill: 100% Texas-grown non-GMO white corn, red winter wheat, and malted barley. The Profile: This low-temperature extraction preserves the signature butterscotch, vanilla, and stone fruit notes that have become the brand's sensory hallmark. Sustainability: The Circular Whiskey Economy Austin 101's commitment to Green Luxury is anchored in their Circular Aging Process. The distillery exclusively utilizes recycled American white oak barrels sourced from local Texas craft bourbon makers. This sustainable finishing serves two critical functions: Ecological Preservation: It drastically reduces the carbon footprint associated with new timber harvesting. Flavor Refinement: By using "seasoned" wood, the whiskey undergoes a mellow maturation that highlights the grain's natural sweetness rather than masking it behind heavy char. Future Trajectory: Scaling the "Texas Light" Global Category Small-Batch Precision at Scale As Austin 101 expands its distribution footprint beyond the Texas border, the brand employs a data-driven distillation model to ensure consistency. From the approachable Austin 85 to the award-winning Austin 111 Cask Strength, the scaling process remains rooted in small-batch integrity and rigorous quality control. The Next Frontier of Innovation Buchsbaum teased a roadmap of experimental releases designed to push the boundaries of the Light Whiskey category. Enthusiasts can expect: Grain-Specific Expressions: Leveraging high-rye mash bills for a "Light but Bold" profile. Experimental Cask Finishes: Utilizing the unique Texas climate to accelerate interactive aging in diverse secondary vessels. 2035 Vision: Defining Texas Whiskey Globally The long-term vision is clear: Austin 101 aims to be the global benchmark for Texas Light Whiskey. Within the next decade, Buchsbaum anticipates Light Whiskey becoming a mainstream pillar of the spirits industry, with Austin 101 leading the charge through its unique blend of technical precision, authentic provenance, and sustainable distilling. Web: https://www.austin101whiskey.c... About the brand: Austin 101 stands as a testament to geographic authenticity. Eschewing the shortcuts of mass-produced spirits, the distillery anchors its identity in Texas Terroir. Every drop is forged from a proprietary mash bill of 100% locally sourced grains, including non-GMO white corn, soft red winter wheat, and malted barley. By maintaining a strict grain-to-glass pipeline, Austin 101 ensures that the spirit remains an honest reflection of the Hill Country's agricultural heritage. The brand rejects artificial additives and chill-filtration, opting instead for a transparent expression of the raw ingredients. Precision Crafting: The Art of High-Proof Refinement The hallmark of Austin 101 is its precision distillation process. While conventional whiskeys often lean on heavy barrel char to mask imperfections, Austin 101 utilizes a high-proof distillation method (reaching between 160 and 190 proof) to isolate the most elegant flavor compounds. This technical rigor allows for the surgical removal of harsh congeners, leaving behind a clean, sophisticated "heart" of the spirit. The result is a structural complexity rarely found in American whiskey—a profile characterized by: Bright Top Notes: Notes of wildflower honey and stone fruit. Mid-Palate Depth: Rich layers of creamy butterscotch and Madagascar vanilla. A Refined Finish: A signature "light" exit that is exceptionally smooth, favoring subtle almond and spice over aggressive wood tannins. Visionary Sustainability and Circular Aging Austin 101 redefines luxury through the lens of environmental stewardship. Central to its mission is a pioneering Circular Aging Program. By maturing the spirit in recycled American white oak barrels, the distillery significantly mitigates the environmental impact of new timber harvesting. This sustainable approach is not merely an ecological choice but a flavor-driven one; the seasoned oak allows the delicate nuances of the Texas grain to flourish without being overwhelmed by the intense char of a virgin barrel. From localized grain procurement to water-conscious production, Austin 101 represents a new era of eco-conscious distilling, proving that a premium whiskey can be both world-class and world-respecting.

This episode of the HOZ Comedy Podcast kicks off with talk about Tony's absence, fresh haircuts, and celebrating the podcast's continued growth and successful open mics. From there, the crew spirals into some of the wildest news stories out, including funeral mishaps, drunken raccoons, dementia waiters, and naked gym-goers making headlines. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as they relive cheap alcohol, reckless college party days, and debate why humans even started wearing clothes in the first place. The episode rounds out with reflections on Howard Stern, how modern media habits have changed, and how tools like YouTube and Chat GPT are becoming everyday problem-solvers. The crew closes with a ridiculous, Renaissance-style farewell that perfectly sums up the show's unfiltered humor.

After a long hiatus from live, human-voiced podcasting, Chris Abraham returns with the unofficial kickoff to a new season of The Chris Abraham Show. Call it Season 10, or just call it “one more than whatever came before.” This episode is less a formal broadcast and more a fireside check-in. No hot takes yet. No grand thesis. Just Uncle Chris catching up, taking inventory, and letting listeners back into the workshop.Chris opens by reflecting on a year spent experimenting with AI-assisted writing and audio. Substacks fed into NotebookLM. Podcasts assembled more like orchestration than performance. He likens himself to a Renaissance painter running a studio: sketch the idea, let the assistants fill in the canvas, then obsessively revise until it feels true enough to sign. It sparked conversations, which felt like a win, even if the whole thing occasionally resembled “DJ Slop.”From there, the episode turns personal. One week post-second ablation, Chris reports that his heart is finally humming along in sinus rhythm after a long struggle with atrial fibrillation. The first procedure failed and took the wind out of his sails, contributing to weight gain, lethargy, and a general retreat from movement. This time feels different. Better sleep. BiPAP nights. The cautious hope of eventually shedding some medications. The slow return to walking, cycling, kettlebells, and the familiar ritual of getting back in the saddle, literally and figuratively.Fitness and body discipline weave through the episode, including a rueful confession: Chris once tattooed a kettlebell on his hand as a motivational Hail Mary… and then promptly stopped lifting. Future tattoo ideas may include a Concept2 logo and the muted horn from The Crying of Lot 49, because symbolism apparently works better than guilt.Work life is steadier. SEO, Google Business Profile recoveries, and AI-adjacent consulting are keeping the lights on. But the real joy lately lives in the nerd margins. Chris dives deep into decentralized systems, inspired by Ghost in the Shell, particularly the sentient blue tanks that sync their “souls” to a server. That idea metastasized into a home-rolled infrastructure project: seven identical Lenovo ThinkPads running Linux Mint, all synchronized via a cloud droplet using Syncthing. Not a backup. A living sync mesh. Every laptop a node. Every document everywhere.That fascination with nodes and meshes extends into the physical world via Meshtastic. Chris recently deployed a LoRa-based radio node, ABRA (short for Abracadabra), hanging from an eighth-floor Arlington window, quietly strengthening a local, license-free mesh network. No voices. No feeds. Just short messages hopping node to node, old-school and strangely comforting. It's part prepper tech, part early-internet nostalgia, part philosophical itch scratched.Elsewhere in the ecosystem: Mastodon survives for now at abraham.su, rescued at the last minute despite the .su clock ticking toward 2030. Micro.blog joins the stack under chrisa.micro.blog and ChrisA.org. Digital homesteading continues.Chris also shares the unexpected joy of joining a long-running Dungeons & Dragons campaign, Curse of Strahd, playing a stubborn Eldritch Knight named Radley, refusing to read the manual, and delighting in chaos alongside a group of grizzled old nerds on Discord. Dice are rolled. Plans go sideways. Everyone survives, mostly.The episode closes with quieter notes: a growing devotion to the Gospels, nightly Episcopal Compline prayers, the simple rhythm of rereading rather than rushing ahead. A Powerball ticket purchased. Gym plans deferred. Kettlebells waiting. A rowing machine sulking upright in the corner.This isn't a manifesto. It's a temperature check. A reintroduction. Uncle Chris is back, heart steadier, systems syncing, curiosity intact, and ready to spend the rest of the year talking through the small things before returning to the big ones.

Men de forandrer sjældent vilkårene. Den erkendelse fulgte os som en stille modstemme hele året.Og samtidig… hold nu op, hvor lavede vi meget i 2023. Talks, events, fester, afsnit, samarbejder, kampagner, debatter, biografaftener, you name it, mens vi samtidig passede krævende fuldtidsjobs. 2023 var både champagnepropper og kalenderkollaps.Men det var også Renaissance-året.Beyoncé i Hamborg.

On February 5th of this year, Steve Himelfarb, a longtime fixture in New Orleans' food scene and a true Renaissance man, passed away at the age of 61 following a battle with cancer. Kind, passionate, and endlessly creative, Steve took on many different roles in his life. He was by turns an acclaimed sound engineer, door-to-door cake salesman, café owner, king cake pioneer, teacher, and all-around community treasure. He was also our dear friend and colleague. Steve joined Louisiana Eats as a producer in 2022, working on this show over the last several years with his wife, Becky Retz. His contributions behind the scenes have been vital to what we do here. Over the years, Steve actually appeared on Louisiana Eats several times. In 2021, we interviewed Steve and Becky about the legacy of their beloved Marigny mainstay, Cake Café, and their love letter to diners: The Cake Café Cookbook. In 2023, Steve discussed how his specialty king cakes became a fundraising tradition at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. On this week's show, we remember our friend by bringing you extended versions of these two conversations. We also speak with sound engineer and producer Lu Rojas, who shares stories of Steve's esteemed music career. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

Hello Witches This episode has been one of my favourites to research and was something I discovered last month whilst working on the Angels theme for my Patreon, The Hedge & Hollow. In this episode I explore The Book of Raziel where language, timing, planets, angels and intention were understood as part of a single living system. We look at the idea of words as vibration, sacred names and why the Hebrew letters were treated as energetic forces rather than symbols. I talk about how this tradition connects to the 72 Names of God, spell timing, planetary days and the correspondences modern witches still work with, often without realising how old these systems truly are (I know I had no idea!). We also touch on the lineage that flows from Raziel through Adam, Enoch, Noah and Solomon and how this current eventually shaped medieval grimoires, Renaissance magic and later systems like the Golden Dawn. There are so many future episodes to come off the back of this topic following the thread of King Solomon, The Rosicrucians, The Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley and Boleskine Lodge.

We usually remember Genghis Khan as history's ultimate destroyer but what if he was also its first great economic integrator? In this episode, we rethink the Mongol Empire not as pure terror, but as the largest continuous free‑trade zone the world has ever seen, stretching from Korea to Ukraine. By reopening the Silk Road after a thousand years, the Mongols allowed ideas, technologies, and capital to flow from China to Europe; paper, gunpowder, money, insurance, trade associations, even early globalisation itself. The same networks that spread innovation also carried the Black Death, halving Europe's population and accidentally laying the economic foundations for the Renaissance. From biological warfare to free movement of people and goods, this is the story of how a nomadic empire reshaped the global economy, and why globalization is far older, darker, and stranger than we like to admit.

Olafur Eliasson talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Eliasson was born in 1967 in Copenhagen and grew up between Denmark and Iceland, where his parents were from. His installations, sculptures, photographs and paintings, among other projects, reflect a profound concern with human presence in nature and how we perceive and interact with the world around us. His works can be deceptively simple or enormously complex, but often share a rigorous and reductive geometry, which may conversely produce expansive and multifarious perceptual, sensory and embodied effects. Eliasson has stated that “the spectator is the central issue”, a long-established aspect of conceptual and environmental practices, but for him it is important that the viewer not only completes the work, but is also transformed by it. This subjective and individual revelation is, he hopes, allied to a sense of collective experience, what he calls a “we-ness”, that often alerts his audience to wider cultural and social issues including the climate catastrophe. Indeed, environment, in multiple senses, is the fundamental element of his work.He discusses his deep concern about the climate catastrophe and the importance of action. He reflects on his concept of “seeing yourself sensing” and its shifting nature in relation to different works across his career, and how he often includes the word “your” in his titles as a gesture of trust towards his audience. He discusses the wealth of writers and thinkers that inform his work on a daily basis, from Donna Haraway to Alva Noë. He recalls the epiphany of experiencing a work by James Turrell and his fascination with early Renaissance conceptions of space. He reflects on his early fascination with breakdance and his current enjoyment of music by Hilda Gunnarsdóttir and Rosalía. Plus, he gives insight into life in his vast studio in Berlin, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Olafur Eliasson: Presence, Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia, until 12 July 2026; Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey, Museum MACAN, Jakarta, Indonesia, 12 April 2026, Your view matter by Olafur Eliasson, Padimai Art & Tech Studio, Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Singapore, 31 March 2026; and Olafur's first permanent public work in the UK, Your planetary assembly, 2025, is on view at Oxford North, Oxford, UK now.

In this special episode of Reid Riffs, Reid and Aria are joined by Pulitzer Prize–winning author, oncologist, and Manas AI cofounder Siddhartha Mukherjee for a few questions about cancer, AI, and the second edition of The Emperor of All Maladies. Reflecting back on the 15 years since its initial publication, Reid, Aria and Sid discuss how cancer prevention, early detection, and immunotherapy have fundamentally shifted while the disease continues to be a defining challenge of modern medicine. The conversation charts how AI can become a true engine of drug discovery and how Manas was built to be an AI-native biopharmaceutical company focused on developing entirely new medicines. The episode then broadens out to tackle the current cultural moment in Silicon Valley, questioning whether the Valley is entering a new Renaissance driven by more meaningful work, clearer values, and a renewed theory of human progress. The episode closes by grappling with AI's growing persuasive power in politics and public discourse, and the responsibility to design systems that elevate truth, agency, and humanity rather than distort them.

Welcome to another episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. In today's inspiring conversation, I am joined by artist and intuitive Cameron Cohen. Cameron dives into her journey as a Renaissance woman who boldly blends creativity and intuition to help others manifest their dreams through art.

Whether you're a creative at heart, a believer in manifestation (or a skeptic!), or simply looking to step into your own power, this episode is filled with insights and real talk about letting your light shine bright and unapologetically stepping into your authentic self.

The recently unveiled U.S. National Security Strategy has liberal heads turning over this one priority: "Promoting European Greatness." Europe's problems cannot just be attributed to “insufficient military spending and economic stagnation.”  The continent is facing “civilizational erasure” should it continue to embrace practices and transnational bodies that “undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence,” the Trump administration writes. The U.S.' attitude in this report was not “you, Europe, should have done this.” It's more like, “we should be brothers,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “You, Europe, is the foundation of the West. Greece. Rome. The Pope. The Renaissance. The Enlightenment. All of this majestic culture came from you. And we are an offshoot, an offspring of it. And we wanna partner with you. And we wanna be equals with you. So, please, can you just consider stopping the censorship, opening up discussion, and maybe reassessing your energy, your military, your immigration issues, and policies. And get back in the game with us in a 50/50 fashion.”
