In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Bony Ramirez!About Bony Ramirez: Dominican-born artist based out of Jersey City, New Jersey, working across painting, sculpture, and installation to create a vivid celebration and exploration of Dominican life and Caribbean culture. Blending European painting traditions — Renaissance and Mannerist influences drawn from church art — with distinctly Caribbean imagery, symbolism, and materials, Ramirez has built a visual language entirely his own. His elongated, exaggerated figures function almost like landscapes, each one deliberately distinct, never referencing real people but instead pulling from memory and imagination.In our conversation, Ramirez talks through moving to the United States at 13 years old and how that transition shaped both his identity and his relationship to the culture he left behind. He reflects on how being physically close to New York City's art scene, including a stretch living in Harlem, became an essential part of his growth as an artist. Ramirez discusses his responsibility to tell Caribbean stories that are still underrepresented in contemporary art, noting how many people don't even know where his island is.He gets into how his figures evolved — starting from self-taught limitations that became a stylistic signature — and why he keeps cultural markers like plantains, machetes, and crabs, along with bilingual English and Spanish titles, at the forefront of his work, refusing to let that world fade into the background.Be sure to follow Bony Ramirez on Instagram at @bonyramirezz to keep up with his work and future projects.Photo courtesy of subject.

Nicht sudern, handeln! Das ist die Devise der Kräuterhexe Uschi Zezelitsch aus Mattersburg. Auch, was die Strategien gegen Hitze und Trockenheit betrifft. Bäume sind die Schattenspender mit Mehrwert, was sie genau für uns tun, erläutert Uschi Zezelitsch im Gespräch mit der ORF Burgenland Moderatorin Nicole Aigner anhand von Beispielen. Von einigen lieb gewonnenen Pflanzen werden wir uns wohl oder übel verabschieden müssen. Welche, speziell Bäume, deren Platz einnehmen könnten, dazu gibt es eine lange Liste und viele auch praktische Tipps. Silberlinden, Blumeneschen oder Gleditschien eignen sich für den öffentlichen Raum und auch für die städtische Umgebung, auch der japanische Schnurbaum, ein duftender Exot, der Insekten Nahrung bietet. Wer einen kleinen Garten hat, könnte einen Feldahorn oder eine Felsenkirsche pflanzen. Der Zürgelbaum kommt gerade in Mode und hat ebenfalls essbare Früchte. Auch die Renaissance des Maulbeerbaums ist eine zukunftsträchtige Entwicklung.

Comment une forteresse médiévale est-elle devenue l'un des grands châteaux de plaisance de Bourgogne ?Dans la vallée de l'Armançon, Tanlay nous entraîne au cœur d'une histoire mouvementée. À partir de 1559, François d'Andelot, l'un des chefs protestants des guerres de Religion, entreprend d'élever une nouvelle demeure.

The Byzantine Empire didn't have to fall—history simply chose differently.The fall of Constantinople in 1453 is often presented as the inevitable end of a decaying empire—but what if that narrative is completely wrong? In this episode of History Rage, historian and author Laura Bolick dismantles one of history's most persistent myths: that the Byzantine Empire was doomed long before the Ottoman cannons fired.Drawing on her book Saving Byzantium: The Struggle to Salvage an Empire, Laura reveals a world full of missed opportunities, fragile alliances, political infighting, and last-minute efforts that nearly changed history. Rather than a slow collapse caused by decadence, the Byzantine story is one of diplomacy, survival, and desperate attempts to rally Western support that very nearly worked.At the heart of this story are two remarkable figures—Cardinal Johannes Bessarion and Isidore of Kiev—who risked everything to secure military aid from Western Europe. Their mission to unite the Orthodox and Catholic Churches was intended to bring the crusading forces that might have saved Constantinople. Incredibly, Ottoman commanders themselves nearly abandoned the siege before a final breakthrough changed the course of history forever.This episode explores the deeper causes behind the fall of Byzantium, including Western complacency, internal European conflicts, and the dangerous assumption that great cities could never truly fall. It's a powerful reminder that history isn't predetermined—it's shaped by decisions, timing, and human choices.In This Episode, We Discuss:Why the fall of Constantinople was not historically inevitableHow Western Europe failed to support Byzantium when it mattered mostThe political and religious tensions between Orthodox and Catholic ChurchesThe role of crusades in late medieval diplomacyHow the Ottomans engineered one of history's most remarkable siegesWhat Byzantium's fall teaches us about modern geopolitical complacencyAbout the GuestLaura Bolick is an art historian and researcher specialising in late medieval Byzantium and Renaissance intellectual culture. Her work focuses on the cultural survival of Byzantium and the figures who fought to preserve its legacy.Book: Saving Byzantium: The Struggle to Salvage an EmpireBuy from the History Rage Bookshop:https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781398122192(Using this link supports independent bookshops and the podcast.)Follow Laura BolickCheck your preferred bookseller for Saving Byzantium: The Struggle to Salvage an EmpireLook out for talks, articles, and appearances connected to Byzantine and Renaissance historyFollow & Support History RageLove bold historical debate and myth-busting scholarship?

From near-abandoned sieges to failed crusades and shifting alliances, the fate of Constantinople hung on fragile moments and human decisions. Understanding those moments doesn't just reshape medieval history—it challenges how we think about the future. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Quel est le point commun entre Alexandre le Grand, Néron, Louis XIV et Thomas Pesquet ? Eh bien, ils ont tous eu des professeurs qui les ont marqués d'une façon ou d'une autre ! Parce que oui, vous vous doutez que “enseigner”, en soi, ça date pas de 1881 et de Jules Ferry : dans l'Antiquité comme au Moyen Âge ou à l'Époque Moderne, les méthodes d'éducation étaient parfois radicalement différentes - mais très efficaces. L'Histoire a notamment connu beaucoup de maîtres restés célèbres, parce qu'ils étaient plus que des précepteurs : c'étaient des sortes de compagnons, de maîtres à penser… des mentors même !Bonne écoute !

Most artists see their work as art—until science and commerce turn their creations into six-figure commodities. Ralph Therion, an artist and sculptor, transforms tiny plastic cubes into $25,000 masterpieces, claiming a new frontier in art has arrived. But what happens when the line between genius and manipulation blurs? This episode reveals the surprising intersection of science, money, and creativity that challenges everything you thought you knew about true art.You'll discover how Ralph Therion's groundbreaking process expands a microscopic plastic cube into a towering sculpture within minutes—an innovation he claims rivals the Renaissance masters. We break down the secret catalyst that makes this possible, along with Therion's bold assertion: “This is a new art form—brilliant, delicate, revolutionary.” You'll learn how modern art isn't just about aesthetic — it's about exploiting science to redefine value and worth.We also explore the dark side: the manipulations, the power plays behind art's high stakes, and how art collectors like Larry Oss turn plastic into "genius" with a price tag of hundreds of thousands. If you think art is about inspiration alone, prepare for a jarring dose of reality about money, obsession, and the frontier where science becomes artistry.Why does this matter? Because in a world flooded with images, authenticity has never been more fragile—and opportunity has never been greater for those daring enough to redefine the rules. This episode is perfect for creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about how technology is reshaping the future of art and value.Join us as we peel back the plastic to reveal the raw truths of artistic innovation—where science, commerce, and human ambition collide.

The Palio di Siena is far more than a horse race. It is a living medieval ritual that still defines the identity of an entire city. Twice each summer, on 2 July and 16 August, ten bareback horses thunder around the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo while thousands of Sienese scream for their contrada. The prize is a painted silk banner — the palio itself — but the real stakes are pride, rivalry, and centuries of memory.The word palio comes from the Latin pallium, a precious cloth given as the victor's prize. The earliest documented horse race in Siena dates to 1239, when a man named Ristoro was fined for refusing the humiliating consolation prize (a pig) awarded to the last-place finisher. Even earlier references suggest races existed by the beginning of the thirteenth century, often linked to the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin on 15 August. These early contests were known as the Palio alla lunga — the “long Palio.” Riders raced along a straight course that began outside the city walls near Porta Romana and finished in front of the cathedral. The race was dangerous, chaotic, and deeply tied to civic and religious life.Throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Siena's public entertainments were violent and varied: fist-fighting (pugna), jousting, and especially bull hunts organized by the city's districts, the contrade. When the Grand Duke of Tuscany banned bullfighting in 1590, the contrade needed a new outlet for their fierce competitiveness. They began staging neighborhood races with buffaloes (bufalate) and later donkeys. Gradually these contests moved into the Piazza del Campo.The decisive shift came in the seventeenth century. In 1633, because of plague and the absence of horses normally sent by Italian nobles, authorities organized a circular horse race — a Palio alla tonda — inside the Campo itself. Five contrade took part; Tartuca won. This is widely regarded as the first true ancestor of the modern Palio. By 1656–1659 the July race in honor of the Madonna of Provenzano had become an annual event. The August race, dedicated to the Assumption, was added later and eventually fixed on 16 August so it would not conflict with other religious ceremonies.The modern structure solidified in the eighteenth century. In 1721 the city's governing body issued detailed regulations that still shape the race today. In 1729–1730, Princess Violante of Bavaria, governor of Siena, fixed the number of contrade at seventeen and precisely defined their boundaries, ending centuries of territorial disputes. Only ten of the seventeen run in each Palio: the seven that did not race in the previous corresponding event, plus three drawn by lot.The old linear Palio alla lunga lingered into the nineteenth century but was finally abolished in 1874. By then the circular race in the Campo had become the undisputed heart of Sienese life. It survived wars, political upheaval, and modernization because it belongs not to the state or to tourists, but to the contrade themselves. Each district is a self-contained community with its own church, museum, fountain, and lifelong loyalties. Winning the Palio is the highest honor a contrada can achieve; losing to a hated rival is a wound that lasts for years.Today the pageantry remains intensely medieval: the historic procession in costume, the blessing of the horse in the contrada church, the tense mossa (the chaotic start), and the three wild laps around the Campo. Yet the Palio is not a reconstruction. It is a continuous tradition that has adapted without ever losing its essential character. For the Sienese, it is not a spectacle performed for outsiders. It is the annual reaffirmation of who they are — a people whose identity is still measured in the thunder of hooves on the stones of the Campo.More Podcasts

In this episode of The Christopher Perrin Show, Christopher Perrin welcomes John Mays to tell the story of his vocation as a teacher, writer, and founder of Novare Science. Mays traces his winding path from electrical engineering and recording-studio work to public school teaching, graduate study in physics, classical education, and two decades at Regents School of Austin. Along the way, he explains how wide reading in literature, history, philosophy, and theology shaped his approach to science education. The conversation turns to the emergence of Novare Science, beginning with Mays's frustration over the “cram, pass, forget” cycle and his search for a mastery-based model that would help students retain, understand, and love what they learned. Mays describes four major integrations that make science education classical: mathematics, history, epistemology, and language. He also recounts the long entrepreneurial labor of writing, designing, printing, selling, and revising an eleven-book science curriculum over seventeen years. The episode closes with Mays's encouragement to science teachers: teach not merely with routine and assignments, but with wonder, beauty, and a vision of creation as God's loving self-disclosure—themes he develops further in his ClassicalU courses, including Teaching Science Classically: 10 Essential Principles, The Science Mastery Workshop, Science and the Symphony of Creation, and Cultivating Wonder Throughout the School. Episode OutlineJohn Mays's winding path through engineering, recording, teaching, physics, classical education, and curriculum writingDiscovering classical education and teaching physics at Regents School of AustinThe two questions behind Novare: how to teach science classically and how to overcome “cram, pass, forget”Mastery-based learning through cumulative assessments, weekly review, practice, and long-term retentionThe four classical integrations in science: mathematics, history, epistemology, and languageThe first Novare books and the growth from classroom materials into a full science curriculumNovare Science, Centripetal Press, and the eventual partnership with Classical Academic PressTextbook beauty, classroom wonder, and Mays's encouragement to science teachersKey Topics & TakeawaysA Winding Vocation: Mays's story moves through engineering, recording, public teaching, graduate physics, classical education, and curriculum writing. Each stage helped prepare him for the work that became Novare Science.The “Cram, Pass, Forget” Problem: Mays saw that students often crammed for tests, passed them, and forgot nearly everything soon after. He came to regard this as a serious failure of academic formation.Mastery and Long-Term Retention: Mays developed cumulative assessments, weekly review guides, and practice habits so students could retain what they learned. Mastery made learning more durable and satisfying.Classical Science Education: Mays describes classical science as integrating mathematics, history, epistemology, and language so students learn science as part of a larger, ordered vision of reality.Masterable and Beautiful Textbooks: Oversized textbooks can communicate that a subject cannot truly be learned. A humane science text should be carefully written, aesthetically inviting, and realistically masterable.Wonder at Creation: The best science teaching helps students see the grandeur, beauty, and order of creation rather than merely preparing for the next assignment or test.Questions & DiscussionWhat makes a vocation different from a career path?Consider John Mays's movement through engineering, recording, teaching, graduate study, and curriculum writing. How did each stage prepare him for the work that eventually became Novare Science?How does the “cram, pass, forget” cycle show up in your own school or learning experience?Reflect on classes where students pass assessments but do not retain what they learned. What classroom practices might unintentionally encourage short-term cramming rather than mastery?What would it mean to teach for mastery rather than coverage?Discuss the difference between racing through a large textbook and helping students retain a smaller, better-chosen body of knowledge. What would have to change in quizzes, homework, review, and expectations?How do mathematics, history, epistemology, and language make science education more classical?Consider how each element deepens students' understanding of science. Which of these is easiest to include, and which is most often neglected?What role should beauty and wonder play in science education?Discuss Mays's encouragement to show students the grandeur, beauty, and order of creation.

This hour, Canal Street used to be a destination and men and women dressed up to go to Canal Street. Not anymore. But that could change now. Mayor Moreno announced the Canal Street Renaissance project.

Antares just closed a massive $470M Series C, was welcomed to the Oval Office by President Trump to celebrate becoming the first startup to achieve reactor criticality under the Department of Energy's reactor pilot program, and is now racing toward delivering the first commercial microreactors to the U.S. military. Just three years after being founded, the company expects to surpass $1B in defense contracts while attempting to restart America's nuclear industrial base. CEO Jordan Bramble joins Valley of Depth to unpack what it actually took to build and operate a nuclear reactor in under a year, why Antares believes the military (not hyperscale data centers) is the fastest path to commercial nuclear power, and how microreactors could fundamentally reshape everything from missile defense and remote military installations to space exploration. We also cover: Why achieving reactor criticality is a historic milestone for American nuclear energy How Antares compressed decades of nuclear development into a startup timeline Why the company chose defense as its beachhead market instead of AI data centers The manufacturing, regulatory, and supply chain strategy behind scaling microreactors How nuclear power could enable Golden Dome, space infrastructure, and the next era of national security • Chapters • 00:00 - Trailer 00:54 – Jordan at the White House 02:57 – What does criticality mean? 04:29 – How hard is reaching criticality? 08:48 – What $600M in fundraising will allow Antares to do 09:58 – How did Antares get to criticality first? 12:55 – How the government's approach to nuclear has changed since Jordan's time at the Office of Management & Budget 15:25 – How small modular reactors fit in the nuclear tech landscape 19:02 – Space-based civilian use cases for nuclear 20:57 – Antares's approach to fuel availability and supply chains 25:56 – Electricity in 2027 27:14 – Regulatory hurdles 30:12 – The production line Antares is building 31:33 – The road to 30 reactors a month 33:22 – The data center component 37:22 – Is it just a coincidence that 4 companies reached criticality by the July 4th deadline? 39:48 – How would an investor know if a nuclear company is on the right path? 43:09 – What would Jordan have done differently with Antares? 44:36 – What will Jordan be most proud of about Antares when he's 80?   • Show notes • Antares' website — https://antaresindustries.com/ Jordan's socials — https://x.com/jordanbramble Mo's socials — https://x.com/itsmoislam Payload's socials — https://x.com/payloadspace /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspace Ignition's socials — https://x.com/ignitionnuclear / https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/ Tectonic's socials  — https://x.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/ Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/   • About us • Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.  Brought to you by Arkaea Media, the team behind Payload (space), Ignition (nuclear energy), Decoding Bio (biotech) and Tectonic (defense tech), this show goes beyond headlines and hype.

Send us Fan MailMy guest today is Kerry Chaput, author of The Secret Courtesan, listed in the Visual Arts category on Art In Fiction.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fkX-QqvmnQgPremise for the novel: how a marble Venetian sculpture, surfacing after 400 years and credited to a male artist, sends Mia, a modern-day arts authenticator looking for the woman she is sure had carved it.Kerry found documented women painters of the Renaissance and Baroque, but no large-scale women sculptors, and decided that gap in the record was the story worth telling.Artemisia's dusty painting: the real-life rediscovery of an Artemisia Gentileschi painting in a Hampton Court storage room, proof that misattributed women's art isn't just a plot device.Veronica Franco and the real courtesans: how the film Dangerous Beauty and its real-life subject, Renaissance Venice's premier courtesan, inspired the character of Sofia, and why courtesans had more freedom, education, and political access than "respectable" women of the era.Pitched as The Da Vinci Code with a feminist twist: the puzzles and cliffhangers built into Mia's modern timeline, and why Kerry had to finish writing Sofia's 1609 story before she could solve Mia's.Zero outline, one nice bow: Kerry's pantser process from first page to last, alternating between timelines and following "wormholes" even when they lead nowhere.The hardest research wasn't the history: why untangling art authentication, auction houses, and international law was tougher than 17th-century Venice, and how friends in the art world helped her build a plausible Sotheby's-style plot.A law against something means someone was doing it: the logic behind laws barring women from studying art and obtaining materials, and what that says about who was quietly doing both anyway.Writing women who already have a voice: why Kerry skipped the "she finds her voice" arc for Sofia, and how a story about a woman claiming power she already has changes the whole shape of the narrative.Reading from The Secret Courtesan: a 2 a.m. library scene between Mia and fellow historian Noah as her theory about the sculptor's true identity finally comes out.What's next: Kerry's ongoing Substack, Badass Women in History, and her continued fascination with the women the historical record left out.Read more from Kerry Chaput on her Substack, Badass Women in History: https://kerrychaput.substack.com/Are you enjoying The Art In Fiction Podcast?

7-28-26 Today we'll be chatting with Clyde and Sarah Hays, owners of Vinland Meads in Murchison, TX. Vinland Meads is a family-owned meadery and artisan kitchen in Murchison, Texas, founded by Clyde and his wife, Sarah,. Although the company was officially formed in 2024 and their public tasting room opened in 2026, Clyde's history with mead began more than twenty years ago. He became interested in mead through his love of Scottish and Northern European history, and he mentioned to his grandfather that he wanted to learn how to make it. Rather than giving him a written recipe, he shared stories about how his own grandfather had made mead in Scotland. Those conversations taught Clyde about honey, patience, craftsmanship, and the importance of allowing the process to take the time it needs. He began experimenting from there, and those lessons still guide every batch he makes today. Vinland Meads first began at Hays Manor, our family farm in East Texas. That is where they incorporated the company, developed their recipes, and operated in production-only mode before moving the winery license and public operation into Murchison. Hays Manor remains an important part of their story. It is home to their apiaries, Scottish Highland cattle, farm animals, and the hawks we work with as licensed falconers. Their own bees provide as much honey as they can, and they supplement that with raw Texas wildflower honey from beekeepers whose apiaries and practices they know personally. The farm taught them many of the values that shape Vinland today, especially patience, stewardship, and respect for where their ingredients come from. Sarah and Clyde are also the parents of seven sons, and Vinland has always been a family story rather than simply a business venture. One of Clyde and Sarah's proudest moments is hearing their sons tell people what their family does and hearing the pride in their voices. Sarah is the majority owner, manager, and creative force behind the business, while Clyde serve as Head Mead Maker and oversee marketing. Sarah's belief in what Clyde was creating is one of the main reasons Vinland exists. Years ago, she brought home their first beehives and joked that Clyde would no longer need to buy honey for his mead. Those hives could never produce the thousands of pounds they now use, but they represented Sarah's belief that Clyde's longtime passion could become something much larger. When they moved into Murchison, they wanted to create more than a traditional tasting room. Vinland Meads now includes an artisan kitchen, which focuses on locally sourced ingredients and food designed to pair with mead, as well as the Rose & Raven Bookshop, curated by Sarah. They also host live music, trivia, educational classes, beekeepers' gatherings, community events, and other experiences that make Vinland feel more like a modern gathering hall than a typical winery. Their goal is to introduce people to mead as a sophisticated and culturally significant beverage, not simply something associated with Vikings or Renaissance festivals. They produce handcrafted meads using Texas honey, locally sourced fruit whenever possible, and a process that generally takes about six months from honey in the tank to mead in the bottle or keg. Every bottle has a story behind it, which is why their tagline is, “Every Bottle a Story. Every Sip a Saga.” Join us to hear more from Sarah and Clyde!

In this episode of The NIDS View, Curtis and Jim examine Europe's growing drive to strengthen its own deterrent capabilities amid Russia's war in Ukraine and a future NATO 3.0. They explore whether Europe is moving toward greater strategic autonomy while remaining anchored within the NATO alliance. The discussion highlights Europe's emerging missile renaissance, including the development of new long-range strike capabilities, expanded defense industrial capacity, and investments in advanced non-nuclear military technologies. The conversation further examines how U.S. military innovation—including low-cost, high-precision weapons, and long-range conventional strike capabilities—is reshaping the American character of modern warfare. As allies reassess the relationship between conventional and nuclear deterrence, the hosts explore the implications for escalation management, strategic stability, and the credibility of deterrence in an increasingly complex and contested security environment. https://thinkdeterrence.com/ Like and follow us –The NIDS View: https://media.rss.com/nuclearview/feed.xmlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thinkdeterrence X.com: https://x.com/thinkdeterrence YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyGa4dcPqONWzjmbuZMOBHQ Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/NIDSthinkdeterrence Global Security Review: https://globalsecurityreview.comOur Free Events: https://thinkdeterrence.com/events/

In this episode of The Postscript Show, Brandon Briscoe sits down with Dan Reneau, pastor, artist, and art history professor, to explore how the history of Western art reveals the changing worldview of civilization—from medieval Christianity and the Renaissance to modernism, postmodernism, and today's culture.Together they discuss why people create, what art says about the culture that produces it, and how Christians can understand visual culture without compromising biblical truth. Along the way, they examine the theological influences behind major artistic movements and why understanding art can help believers better engage the world with the gospel.In this episode:Why humans are driven to createMedieval art, iconography, and the RenaissanceHumanism, the Reformation, and the Baroque periodThe Enlightenment and RomanticismHow photography changed the art worldImpressionism, Cubism, Dadaism, and Abstract ExpressionismPostmodernism and today's cultural landscapeWhy art reflects the spiritual condition of societyHow Christians can engage culture with biblical discernment and gospel compassion rather than fear.If you enjoy thoughtful conversations on theology, culture, history, and Christian worldview, subscribe to The Postscript. share this episode with someone who loves learning how faith intersects with the world around us.Visit http://lfbi.org/learnmore

Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling is one of the defining masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, but its creation was equally defined by friction as much as genius. This episode follows Michelangelo's turbulent relationship with Pope Julius II, from the abrupt cancellation of the pope's monumental tomb commission to the unlikely assignment of painting the chapel's vast ceiling. We explore how Michelangelo transformed the project into an ambitious visual narrative and testament of divinely inspired artistic genius.We examine how his revolutionary approach to anatomy, composition, and artistic invention, exemplified in The Creation of Adam, forever changed the course of Renaissance painting. Follow/Watch/Learn: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastWorks Discussed: Michelangelo, Pietà, 1499 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet%C3%A0_(Michelangelo)Michelangelo, Tomb of Pope Julius II (unfinished), 1505-1545 https://www.wga.hu/html_m/m/michelan/1sculptu/giulio_2/giulio2.htmlMichelangelo, Sistine Chapel Ceiling, 1508-1512 https://www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en/collezioni/musei/cappella-sistina/volta.htmlThe Florentine Renaissance CourseSupport the show

Four companies just did something nobody's pulled off in over fifty years, and Trump is here to celebrate every second of it. This one kicks off with a genuine nuclear power milestone, private reactors going critical for the first time in decades, before sliding into a sprawling press Q&A that somehow covers the Saudi nuclear deal fallout, a blunt assessment of Iran's crumbling military, and a full throated rant against windmills that gets several cabinet members nodding along. Reporters lob questions on everything from a lettuce related tainted food scare to LeBron versus Jordan, Venezuela's oil boom, subpoenaed journalists, and the ever present tariff legal battles. There's also a candid Iran negotiation update, complete with talk of a naval blockade and some very pointed opinions about what happens if diplomacy doesn't work. It's part science celebration, part geopolitical briefing, part press conference free for all, classic unpredictable Trump territory.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Intel Corp. delivered a revenue forecast that shattered Wall Street estimates as booming data center spending fuels a long-awaited turnaround. Sales will be $15.8 billion to $16.8 billion in the third quarter, the company said Thursday. Even the low end of that range would easily clear the $15.1 billion average analyst estimate. Meantime, Stocks and bonds fell as doubts over returns from billions of dollars spent on artificial intelligence coincided with a surge in oil prices that rekindled inflation concerns. For more on the tech story, Bloomberg TV hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Shery Ahn spoke to Dan Ives, Partner and Senior Managing Director at Yorkville Ives. Plus - Energy is the biggest constraint of the global AI build out. Many countries are turning to nuclear power to address it. Perhaps nowhere better reflects the global nuclear push than Asia. Bloomberg TV host Shery Ahn spoke to Nobuo Tanaka, International Energy Agency Executive Director Emeritus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Artiste et auteur-compositeur dont les chants ont été écoutés des millions de fois et ont traversé les frontières pour toucher des milliers de vies à travers le monde francophone. On ne présente plus vraiment Sebastien Corn dans le milieu chrétien. Et justement… c'est à peu près là que cette conversation commence. Qu'est-ce qu'il se passe lorsqu'une personne connue et exposée traverse des saisons de vie difficiles ? Comment (re)bâtir sa vie lorsque les regards sont posés sur nous, lorsque notre histoire devient publique et que, parfois, on attend inconsciemment de nous une certaine manière d'être, de parler ou de vivre ? Dans cette conversation profondément authentique et vulnérable, Sébastien se confie sur des moments qui ont bouleversé sa vie : le deuil, la dépression, un divorce...Et tout ça dans un univers chrétien et aux yeux de tous. On parle de ce que signifie être chrétien lorsque notre vie ne ressemble plus à ce que l'on avait imaginé. De la difficulté de faire des erreurs sous le regard des autres. De ce que l'on traverse parfois en secret, loin des discours et des apparences. Mais aussi de la possibilité de se relever, de se reconstruire, de renaître et d'aimer à nouveau. Une conversation qui, je l'espère, nous invite à regarder les histoires humaines avec un peu plus de vérité, de grâce et d'amour.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss if it's possible for Aaron Rodgers to be better in 2026 than he was in 2025 and whether we could see the Steelers use more temp. We also dive into the idea of an Alex Highsmith to Carolina trade following the injury to Nic Scourton and if Payton Wilson could play the Divine Deablo role for Patrick Graham's defense.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Garlick hosts Dr. Patrick Deneen to discuss his NEW BOOK: The American Odyssey: What an Ancient Story Reveals About Our Divided Souls.Pick up the AMERICAN ODYSSEY out today!https://a.co/d/01rpYuwt23 Observations on the new Christopher Nolan Odyssey Moviehttps://www.patreon.com/greatbooks/posts/23-quick-on-164190324In this special episode of Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Garlick welcomes back renowned Notre Dame political thinker Dr. Patrick Deneen—author of Why Liberalism Failed and Regime Change—to celebrate the release of his brand-new book, The American Odyssey: What an Ancient Story Reveals About Our Divided Souls.Fresh off a 12-week deep dive into Homer's epic, the conversation reveals why Odysseus is the ultimate “proto-American” hero: a restless seeker torn between the hunger for home and the irresistible call of the frontier. Deneen traces this tension from the ancient text through Dante's damning portrayal of Odysseus as a villain of forbidden knowledge, to the Renaissance reinvention of him as the triumphant explorer who metaphorically discovers America itself.What makes this episode unmissable is how Deneen unlocks Aristotle's radical claim that humans are political animals precisely because we are neither beasts nor gods, the “citylessness” that turns Ithaca into a Cyclopean free-for-all, and the startling parallels between Odysseus' refusal of immortality and Huck Finn's decision to “go to hell.” Pairing iconic American stories like The Wizard of Oz, Field of Dreams, and Huckleberry Finn with Homer's timeless episodes, Deneen shows that the Western tradition isn't locked in dusty classics—it's alive in our movies, novels, and national character, especially as America marks its 250th anniversary.

Entre science, imaginaire débordant et croyances en guerre, le spectacle des comètes c'est toujours un étonnement et à chaque passage on a envie d'en savoir davantage. On décrit ces comètes, notamment la comète de Halley, bien avant qu'on lui donne ce nom et une date de rendez-vous tous les 76 ans. Avec Sylvain Chaty, astrophysicien, auteur de l'article La folle histoire des remèdes anti-comètes, paru dans la revue en ligne The Conversation en 2020.

Send us Fan MailWe're officially just weeks away from the 7th Annual Renaissance Women's Summit on September 10, 2026, at the beautiful Riverwood Mansion in Nashville, Tennessee—and if you've been thinking about joining us, now is the time. ✨ Tickets are on sale now, and I'd absolutely love to welcome you into a room filled with ambitious women entrepreneurs who are building businesses—and brands—worth remembering. GET TICKETS.In this week's episode, we're talking about something I know so many women silently struggle with: the fear of being seen.If you've ever hesitated to hit "publish," worried about what people might think, questioned whether you have anything valuable to say, or convinced yourself you'll start showing up "when you're more ready"...this conversation is for you.I'm sharing my own encouragement for the woman who's been hiding behind perfectionism, comparison, or fear, and then I'm turning the mic over to the incredible women on our team at Renaissance Marketing Group. I asked each of them one simple question:"What would you tell a woman who's afraid to show up on social media?"Their responses are honest, encouraging, and exactly the reminder we all need in 2026.Because here's what I believe:The opportunities you're praying for often begin with being seen.Whether you're building a business, growing your personal brand, or simply finding the courage to share your voice, I hope this episode reminds you that the world doesn't need a more perfect version of you—it needs your perspective.If this episode encourages you, I'd love for you to share it with another woman entrepreneur who needs the reminder that her voice matters. And if you haven't grabbed your ticket to the Renaissance Women's Summit yet, we'd love to see you in Nashville this September.

Censorship is often associated with authoritarian governments. But throughout history, efforts to control ideas have taken many different forms — and they haven't always come from the state. In this episode, Nico sits down with University of Chicago professor Ada Palmer to explore the history of censorship from the Renaissance to the present day. They discuss what motivates censorship, why it evolves alongside new communication technologies, how effective it has been throughout history, and what historical patterns can teach us about today's free speech debates. Ada Palmer is a professor of early modern European history at the University of Chicago and the author of Inventing the Renaissance: Myths of a Golden Age. She is also an acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author, composer, singer, and expert on anime and Japanese popular culture.
