Welcome to this week's episode of The Video Store Podcast . This week, I'm focusing on animated movies that lean into darker themes and mature storytelling. These aren't your typical Saturday morning cartoons or Disney films. They're imaginative, ambitious, and not afraid to explore the more complicated corners of life.Let's dive into the four films I'm recommending this week.1. Watership Down (1978)This adaptation of Richard Adams' novel is often remembered for its striking animation and unflinching depiction of survival. On the surface, it's a story about rabbits searching for a safe place to call home, but the film works on deeper levels, touching on themes like leadership, sacrifice, and the brutal realities of nature.Director Martin Rosen made the choice to stay true to the novel's tone, which makes this film stand out from other animated projects of the time. The voice cast is strong, John Hurt as Hazel and Richard Briers as Fiver bring a lot of emotion to their roles. The animation is hand-drawn, with detailed backgrounds that create a world that feels both beautiful and dangerous.2. The Last Unicorn (1982)Based on Peter S. Beagle's novel, The Last Unicorn has a dreamlike quality that sets it apart from other animated films of its time. It tells the story of a unicorn searching for her lost kind, encountering both friends and enemies along the way. While the animation was produced by Rankin/Bass, the actual work was done by a Japanese studio that would later become Studio Ghibli, which might explain the film's unique visual style.This voice cast is great. Mia Farrow voices the Unicorn, Jeff Bridges plays Prince Lir, and Christopher Lee is unforgettable as King Haggard. Lee was reportedly a huge fan of the book and even brought his own copy to recording sessions to ensure his performance stayed faithful to the source material.The soundtrack, provided by the band America, gives the movie a melancholy, almost folk-like feel that complements its tone.3. The Secret of NIMH (1982)Don Bluth made his directorial debut with this adaptation of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien. The film tells the story of a widowed field mouse, Mrs. Brisby, who must save her home and sick child with the help of highly intelligent rats.What makes The Secret of NIMH stand out is how dark and detailed it is. Bluth and his team left Disney to make this film because they wanted to push the boundaries of animation, and it shows. The level of detail in the animation is stunning, especially in the rats' lair, which feels alive with glowing lights and intricate designs.The score by Jerry Goldsmith is sweeping and dramatic, which matches the film's high stakes. And while it's technically a kids' movie, it doesn't shy away from mature themes like death, ethics, and the consequences of human interference with nature.4. Heavy Metal (1981)If you're into sci-fi, fantasy, or anthology storytelling, Heavy Metal is one to check out. It's based on the magazine of the same name and features multiple stories connected by a mysterious glowing orb called the Loc-Nar. The animation is bold, with an unapologetically adult tone. Even though I saw it as a kid, I think this one is definitely not for kids.What's interesting about Heavy Metal is how it pulls from different art styles, with each segment feeling distinct. The soundtrack is packed with rock and heavy metal tracks from bands like DEVO, Black Sabbath, Blue Öyster Cult, and Journey, giving it a unique energy.Each of these films pushes the boundaries of what animated storytelling can do, whether through their themes, visual style, or just their ambition. They're all worth watching if you're looking for something that goes beyond the typical animated fare. That's it for this week's episode of The Video Store Podcast.

Geralmente o termo Eco-Horror refere-se a narrativas que exploram as consequências desastrosas da exploração e da destruição do meio ambiente, muitas vezes apresentando a natureza como uma força vingativa ou como um agente de justiça. O gênero se alimenta do medo do desconhecido e das consequências irreversíveis das ações humanas, como a poluição, a deflorestação e a extinção de espécies. Filmes como "A Noite dos Mortos-Vivos" (1968) e "A Caverna" (2005) e obras literárias como "O Fogo da Inveja" de H.P. Lovecraft e "A Floresta" de Richard Adams, entre outros, estabelecem as bases para essa vertente, abordando a fragilidade da relação entre humanos e a natureza. Com o aumento da conscientização sobre as mudanças climáticas e os desastres ambientais, o Eco-Horror se tornou uma forma poderosa de criticar a exploração desenfreada e de refletir sobre as consequências éticas e existenciais da interação humana com o planeta. No episódio de hoje, nossos investigadores Andrei Fernandes, Ananda Mida e Jey Carrillo convidam Raphael Fernandes para falar mais sobre a vertente que também serve como ferramenta de alerta sobre os perigos da desconexão entre os seres humanos e a natureza, que convida o público a refletir sobre suas próprias ações e suas repercussões no mundo natural.

Geçtiğimiz günlerde İngiltere'de yayınlanan The Guardian Gazetesi'nde Birleşik Krallık üniversitelerinin 'geri dönülemez bir düşüşle' karşı karşıya olduğu yönünde bir haber-makale yayımlandı. Haberi yazan gazetenin eğitim editörü Richard Adams bunu üniversitelerle ilgili uluslararası değerlendirme kuruluşu Quacquarelli Symonds (QS)'nin son raporuna dayandırmış. Raporun sıralamasında bu yıl 90 kurumdan 52'sinin geçen yıla nazaran geriye düşmüş olması nedeniyle, Adams İngiliz yüksek eğitim kurumlarının bir kısmının kapanma tehlikesiyle karşı karşıya olduğunu söylüyor. Raporda sıralamada yer alan 90 Üniversitenin sadece 20'sinde nispi bir yükseliş göze çarparken geri kalan üniversitelerin 52'sinde düşüş, diğerlerinde de duraklama kaydedilmiş. Mesela geçtiğimiz yılki sıralamada 2. sırada yer almış olan İngiltere'nin tarihi ve efsanevi üniversitesi Cambridge bile bu yıl 5. sıraya gerilemiş durumda. QS sıralaması, eğitim alanında uzmanlaşmış bir İngiliz kuruluşu olan Quacquarellu Symonds Şirketince yıllık olarak yayınlanan bir üniversite ölçme ve derecelendirme sıralamasıdır. 2004 ile 2009 yılları arasında bugün yine kendi sonuçlarını ayrıca yayınlamakta olan Times Higher Education ile ortak olarak çalışan QS, sıralamaları derlemekten sorumlu bir istihbarat birimine de sahip olup her yıl binlerce akademik katılımcıdan veriler derleyerek sonuçlarına ulaşmakta ve bağımsız akademik çevrelerce oldukça güvenilir bir kuruluş olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu yılki değerlendirmelerde tüm dünyadan 5663 yüksek eğitim kurumu değerlendirilmeye alınmış ama bunlardan 1503'ü sıralama alınmış. Değerlendirmeleri yüzde 30 akademik tanınırlık, yüzde 15 işveren tanınırlığı, yüzde 20 akademisyen başına düşen atıf sayısı, yüzde 10 hoca başına düşen öğrenci sayısı, yüzde 15 uluslararasılaşma, yüzde 5 sürdürülebilirlik ve yüzde 5 de istihdam sonuçları dikkate alınarak yapılıyor. Bu kriterlere göre Türkiye'nin üniversiteleri de değerlendirilmiş ve İngiltere'nin aksine gözle görülür bir yükseliş kaydedilmiş. Buna göre Türkiye'den geçen yıl da bu yıl da 25 üniversite var. Ancak geçen yıl ilk 500 içinde 3 Türk Üniversitesi yer alırken bu yıl 5 üniversite yer alıyor. Ayrıca sıralamada yer ala 25 Türkiye Üniversitesinin 15'inde yükseliş kaydedilirken diğer 10'u geçtiğimiz yılki sıralamadaki yerlerini korumuş. Bu 25 üniversitenin bir kısmı son yıllarda sıralamalara girmeye başlamış ve her geçen yıl bu sıralamalardaki yerlerini yükselttiği görülüyor. Hatırlarsanız geçtiğimiz yıl yine bu zamanlarda yayınlanmış olan ve burada zikrettiğimiz Londra merkezli uluslararası yükseköğretim derecelendirme kuruluşu Times Higher Education (THE), “Dünya Üniversite Sıralaması 2023” raporunda da benzer veriler yer almıştı. O rapora göre Türkiye'den 3 üniversite ilk 500'e, toplam 11 üniversite de ilk 1000'e girmişti. Bundan da daha önemlisi Türkiye'nin artık toplam dünya sıralamasında en iyi temsil edilen ülkelerden biri olarak görülmesiydi.
John J. Miller is joined by Bethel McGrew to discuss Richard Adams's 'Watership Down.'
Novelist and short story writer Flannery O'Connor once said her life was too boring for a biographer—all she did was write and feed chickens. And yet, nearly 100 years after she was born, O'Connor's life and faith are explored in Wildcat, a new film from actor, writer, and director Ethan Hawke of Training Day, First Reformed, and Dead Poets Society fame. On this episode of The Russell Moore Show, Hawke and Moore discuss what compelled Hawke to cowrite Wildcat with Shelby Gaines. They talk about how O'Connor's work connected Hawke to his mother and, later, to his daughter Maya, who plays O'Connor in the film. Moore and Hawke explore O'Connor's forcefulness and faith. They discuss the joys and challenges of working with family, how audiences are engaging with the religious elements in Wildcat, and Hawke's attraction to exploring issues of faith in art. And they talk about the meaning of creative work, institutions, and relationships in a fraught era.

It is time to go down a rabbit hole, my friends. The Rabbit and the Hare are both symbols of abundance, fertility, the womb, the moon, rebirth, and the goddess - and in this month of Ostara (Vernal Equinox) and Easter, when I am releasing this 3rd installment of the 3rd season of my podcast in the 3rd month of the year the symbol of the triple goddess, the trilogy, and the triple rabbit known as the Triskele (spelled out T R I S K E L E) is front and center in my consciousness. The Triskele, the symbol of the triple rabbit or three hares, features three rabbits running in a circle and their ears join in the center to make an equilateral triangle. This symbol transcends religions found in Buddhist, Muslim, Christian and Celtic/Nordic traditions. It's found on a cave wall in China and drawn on rocks in Germanic and Celtic stones, and found within Christian churches in the British Isles. Like many symbols, it has been adopted by religion, but not really religious, as religion is really the new kid on the block - symbolism goes back much further into the primordial origins and archetypes of humans. Symbols are the sacred geometric building blocks of the universe - circles, squares, and triangles. All things are built on, and with these 3 shapes and sacred geometry is the stuff upon which all material comes into formation. I told you we were going down a rabbit hole and here we go - if you look at the Triskele in Celtic illustrations the rabbits running in circles are often replaced by spirals - the spiral is the Fibonacci Sequence and the pattern that fractals, flowers, snails, trees, crystal and all life grows in. In other words, the triple rabbit is the fibonacci sequence, the sacred geometric pattern of all life. So, my three rabbits running in a circle with a triangle in the center represent life itself. The kingdom of heaven is embodied in this flesh, for I am the kingdom, the power, and the glory. Amen. (singing a little) "Jesus Christ Superstar… do you think you are what they say you are?" I share this Andrew Lloyd Webber lyric to make a point - Jesus, our celebrated riser from the dead at this time of year (symbolizing the resurrection of the earth from winter and all the cycles of rebirth and fertility that come at the vernal equinox), DID know EXACTLY what he was and was trying REALLY REALLY hard to get the rest of us humans at the time to listen. We are spirit embodied in this flesh. The glory and power of divine energy is held within this physicality. Thus, all the power of a god to manifest miracles can come forth from within each and every one of us. Spirit is symbolized with a triangle, as is fire. The fire of alchemy, the transformation from muck to gold. From this mundane flesh to spirit. To be enlightened is to sever the attachment to this physical body, being ALL that we are and are meant to be in this life. Yes, our physical bodies are built from sacred geometry; just look at the double helix of our physical DNA and then at the glyph of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. But that just means our spirit is currently contained in our flesh, not that we are only this flesh and blood. Our journey in this lifetime, and what Jesus was trying to teach us, is that we can create miracles in our lives if we believe we are and choose to truly know ourselves as God. We need to know ourselves as divine beings capable of manifesting the life of purpose we want to live. But no one but ourselves can know yourself as this divine being. But once we choose to know ourselves as divine, as spirit, as a creator of our life - ignorance of our larger universal power cannot be taken away. The fundamental knowledge of the self as divine spirit opens the gate to the kingdom of heaven (not some place in the clouds with angels playing harps). Still, you reclaim your crown as the sovereign of your life and create a kingdom of joy, light, and abundance for yourself, your family and your community. And this is how we are going to create peace on earth. Like the church hymn. "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me." Shambala is a world where humans have actualized themselves, awakened to the possibility that they are the creator God of their life and are living that daily. They are treating themselves as a God and thus treating others as a God. If you know and love yourself as a divine and worthy being, you can know and love another as a divine and worthy being. Even if that divine being makes choices that harm you. You can forgive those who harm you because they know not what they do. They are ignorant that they are God and that they are harming another god. They are ignorant that they have a choice in what they are doing. Okay, some of you may now think I've fallen off my proverbial rocker with this rabbit hole. I've gone from three rabbits running in a circle to sacred geometry, Jesus Christ Superstar, and You are God. Yep—and now we are going to talk about the Easter Bunny. Jesus Christ, Angel. Yep, Exactly. In my research about rabbits and hares, in an attempt to find some creative take on talking about Abundance Mindset or fertility, I went down a small hole little road about the Oschter Hare, i.e., The Easter Hare or i.e., the Easter Bunny to which many today attributes to the myth of Ostara or Eostre turning a bird into a rabbit and the rabbit laying eggs to show its gratitude to the goddess. This legend is pretty recent (like the late 1800s), but as synchronicity would have it, one article I read quoted a story from an April 13, 1911, Warren, Minnesota newspaper. My mother is from Warren, Minnesota as was her mother and father, my maternal grandparents George and Agnes Sabol. My grandparents were both from prolific Catholic families with 12 and 13 siblings at once. They were farmers of the midwestern plains, stoic and practical - but seeing the date of 1911 I wondered if either of them (George or Agnes) saw the article when they were growing up and if either of them ever believed in the Easter bunny. Ironically, Warren is the name of a home for rabbits - I learned this as a little person reading Watership Down, which isn't a book for children. However, I was not a normal child, and I picked up most of what Richard Adams was lying down with his rabbit allegory. The quote from the 1911 Warren, Minnesota newspaper article reads. "The Easter Bunny is said to have been a bird which at one time drew the chariot of the goddess of spring and was turned into a hare. Every year, however, at the coming of spring, the hare remembers and in commemoration of its original bird nature lays eggs as an offering to spring & youth that it symbolizes." I never really believed in the Easter Bunny, but I did enjoy the tradition of the basket and the chocolate that was found there on Easter Sunday morning. I'm still not a fan of Cadbury eggs to this day (too sweet) but Easter Candy makes me think about my grandmother Agnes and going to church. (I'd always stuff my pockets with easter candy when brought to church on easter, and the chocolate would melt and get all over my hands, to my grandmother's great dissatisfaction). My grandmother loved to sing hymns. I think when she sang in church, it was one of the few times she felt joy in her life - because at that moment, she could connect with God within and without and be in the light, free from the sorrow of a life pockmarked with abuse, alcoholism and pain caused by untreated stomach and emotional maladies. I loved to watch her sing even if I hated being in the church because I knew it was her happy place, and nowhere else was. I've spent a lot of time thinking about my grandmother Agnes. When you are a really young woman, and you watch one of your primary caregivers so miserable that they drink themselves to death, it sticks with you. And I know now that she suffered from the side effects of being sexually abused as a small child and other untreated trauma. But sorrow is not the only thing I learned from my grandmother Agnes. I knew the power of planting seeds and nourishing the world around you. She was a master gardener, and her plants were prolific. She was the living embodiment of The Empress archetype or the abundant mother goddess Lakshmi, as everything she touched grew abundantly, and she fed her family from her bounty. On an income of nothing but social security, my family never had food insecurity. There were vats of sauerkraut, beets, asparagus, fresh beans, carrots, tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, and raspberries all summer long, and pickles and canned things all winter. The men brought home the venison, and the women waited in line for government cheese and agricultural subsidies. We were financially poor but we were neither hungry nor lacking, ever. There was always enough money and prosperity to give to the church and to celebrate all holidays and birthdays. All of our needs were met. And we always sang. Sang in church. Sang when picking the beans. Sang when making a lemon meringue pie. And when singing, she knew joy, and we always had enough. And this is true abundance - joy in knowing you are spirit, resting upon gratitude and celebration of what you have even if it is not perfect, even sometimes if it is very far from ideal. When we can have true gratitude for everything we have and celebrate it and our life, we can be in a space of true joy and flow abundance in all aspects. In some ways, it is just that simple. It is a rabbit laying eggs to celebrate spring and show gratitude to the goddess when it remembers it was once a bird. It is recognition that we are something way bigger and greater underneath this flesh. It is remembering who we truly are. We are spirit. We have never been born, and we will never die as spirits. And by remembering who we are we tap into the universal knowing, into the flow of life itself, and we start to create and love and experience joy - and thus take steps to nourish ourselves and others holistically - not just our physical bodies so we can step out of survival mode/lack mentality and instead see beyond lizard brain and switch into thriving/ abundance mindset where there is always enough. We run not away from things but towards things or for the joy of the wind in our hair or the feeling of using our legs where we gain the courage to create new pathways to plant new seeds in our life for new experiences versus settling for comfort zones. So, our exercise for this month is to plant a seed of joy in your life and to celebrate an accomplishment to nourish that joy with song and dance. First, meditate and get clarity on one thing you want to create for yourself by August (1st Harvest/Lammas). You will have four months to nurture this seed. Write down what you want to create on a slip of paper. Now, take this piece of paper outside and find an appropriate place to plant it on the earth. You will dig up a little bit of soil and plant it, just like you would a natural seed. After you bury it, you will nourish that joy seed with the water and fertilizer of your song and dance. You are going to celebrate unabashedly with complete silliness around the seed. Sing your favorite song or hymn, or make up a ditty and dance around the joy seed at least three times. But I encourage you to do even more than 3, work up a sweat! Get into it! Make yourself laugh at yourself. Belt that song out of those lungs and celebrate life, what you have accomplished, and what you can do as a divine being. You are the creator of your destiny. You are the rabbit who can lay eggs because you remember who you truly are! Dance in that circle, nourish your joy and grow in abundance. You are the nurturer, the God, the goddess; you are the spirit! You can create miracles. The kingdom of spirit is embodied in your flesh. Dance it out. Make that seed grow, sprout, and blossom into abundance throughout your life. You got this. Have fun with it! Light that alchemical fire of joy in your heart. Well, I hope you enjoyed this little circle down a rabbit hole today, my friends. May you have a joyful spring, a blessed Ostara, a happy Easter, and a prayer-filled Ramadan. If you need a little assistance planting seeds of abundance and nourishment in your life, I can help with that! Reach out via my website and book a call today.
Eric Newman and Kate Wolf speak with Brad Gooch about his new biography, Radiant: The Life and Line of Keith Haring. A deep-dive into the life of an artist whose work can be seen today on everything from museum walls to t-shirts and tote bags, Gooch's book unearths the cultural moment that gave rise to Haring's meteoric career before his untimely death in 1990.

Watership Down is an adventure novel by English author Richard Adams, published by Rex Collings Ltd of London in 1972. Set in Hampshire in southern England, the story features a small group of rabbits. Although they live in their natural wild environment, with burrows, they are anthropomorphised, possessing their own culture, language, proverbs, poetry, and mythology. Evoking epic themes, the novel follows the rabbits as they escape the destruction of their warren and seek a place to establish a new home (the hill of Watership Down), encountering perils and temptations along the way. Watership Down was Richard Adams' debut novel. It was rejected by several publishers before Collings accepted the manuscript; the published book then won the annual Carnegie Medal (UK), annual Guardian Prize (UK), and other book awards. The novel was adapted into an animated feature film in 1978 and, from 1999 to 2001, an animated children's television series. In 2018, a drama of the story was made, which both aired in the UK and was made available on Netflix. Adams completed a sequel almost 25 years later, in 1996, Tales from Watership Down, constructed as a collection of 19 short stories about El-ahrairah and the rabbits of the Watership Down warren. Watership Down is a 1978 British animated adventure-drama film, written, produced and directed by Martin Rosen and based on the 1972 novel by Richard Adams. It was financed by a consortium of British financial institutions and was distributed by Cinema International Corporation in the United Kingdom. Released on 19 October 1978, the film was an immediate success and it became the sixth-most popular film of 1979 at the UK box office. It features the voices of John Hurt, Richard Briers, Harry Andrews, Simon Cadell, Nigel Hawthorne and Roy Kinnear, among others, and was the last film work of Zero Mostel, as the voice of Kehaar the gull. The musical score was by Angela Morley and Malcolm Williamson. Art Garfunkel's hit song "Bright Eyes" was written by songwriter Mike Batt. It has garnered a cult following.

So! After a few technical hitches and delays our bumper new episode is finally up. The Big Peat and I are joined by the award-winning fantasy author RJ Barker, whose novel The Bone Ships won the British Fantasy Award for Best Novel in 2020. Together we rabbit on about Richard Adams's 1978 classic piece of children's fantasy literature, Watership Down.Watership Down follows a group of rabbits who, led by the reluctant but resourceful leader Hazel, leave the safety of their warren after Hazel's younger brother Fiver, has a Cassandra-like premonition of a catastrophe befalling their home. So, joined by the doughty enforcer Bigwig, who loves nothing more than a scrap, the storyteller Dandelion, the quick-witted Blackberry, and a ragtag bunch of others, they embark on an odyssey to find a new home. A few square miles of west Oxfordshire countryside becomes the canvas for an epic tale of adventure in which the rabbits encounter danger, despair, tragedy, unexpected friendships, tyranny, war, and peace.With RJ we talk about the strange worldbuilding of the book, including rabbit language and mythology, the English countryside setting, and the various forms of social order presented by the different warrens found in the book. Elsewhere we talk about RJ's forthcoming book Gods of The Wyrdwood, his heavy metal roots, and his route into publishing. Along the way we discuss chimps, muppets, Goth make up, and how the film Excalibur saved RJ's life in Leeds.The Judge gives us a follow-up to her talk on trial by combat with another, broader talk about early criminal trials, including trials by ordeal, and how this may be used in our writing and worldbuilding, and we hear the winning 75-word entry from April by emrosenagel.Lastly, our roving reporters from Mars FM give us an interview with a chap who claims to have visited Venus and seen the most incredible creatures, who bear an uncanny similarity to something else encountered in this episode. Enjoy!Next monthIn July we'll be joined by Anne Perry, Director of Publishing at Quercus Books, a subsidiary of Hodder & Stoughton. Anne will be talking with us about Naomi Novik's beautiful and multi-award-winning 2015 novel Uprooted.Index[00:00 - 54:04] - RJ Barker Interview pt 1[54:05 - 57:03] - skit 1[57:04 - 1:17:04] - The Judge's Corner[1:17:05 - 1:17:55] - Challenge winner[1:17:57 - 1:21:53] - skit 2[1:21:54 - 2:16:15] RJ Interview part 2[2:16:16 - 2:17:54] credits and close

It's Coronation Day! Well, not quite. But in the UK we are steadily approaching the moment when the king, Charles III, formally takes the Oath and is crowned. This month we're tackling Mervyn Peake's Titus Groan, the first book in the seminal Gormenghast series. Titus follows the birth of the titular character and the first eighteen months of his life, which culminates in a very strange, ersatz coronation of its own. Joining Pete and me as we clamber across the rooftops and sneak through the dungeons of Gormenghast is the author Toby Frost, best known for his the Space Captain Smith novels, Dark Renaissance fantasy series, and Straken from the Warhammer 40K universe.We consider the sprawling castle-state of Gormenghast and it means when the old and new clash head-on, and specifically what it means when the ossified state, for so long indulged in its own wilful blindness and ritualised behaviour, comes into contact with the shock of the new, especially when the "new" - in this case, the kitchen boy Steerpike) is violent, psychopathic, and ruthless. We consider the utterly bizarre and grotesque cast of characters, from the wilfully blind, Prospero-like Earl Sepulchrave, who ostensibly rules the castle, to the ensemble of witless, violent, and occasionally noble people who live beneath his crumbling sovereignty. And we consider Titus himself, a marginalised titular character if ever there was one, who only appears as a baby, and yet whose coronation the book slowly builds to.Elsewhere, The Judge considers the coronation as a way of revivifying the state, just as we mentioned when discussing Excalibur last month). She considers the Crown Jewels, the Coronation Oath, and how the relationship between the Crown and its subjects has changed over the centuries. To see how a real monarchy like the House of Windsor can stop itself from becoming a fossilised version of itself a la Gormenghast, The Judge shows how the coronation is a living, shifting thing, where rituals, symbols and laws either change or stay the same to maintain a crucial balance between antiquity and modernity.Though Bean is away this month he's still here in spirit as he won the 75 word challenge this March with his entry The Death Of Ageing, and The Martian Space Force find unexpected kindred spirits in the crazy, smelly, stupid inhabitants of Gormenghast.Next monthNext month we'll be joined by the winner of the British Fantasy Award and one of the brightest lights of modern fantasy, the author RJ Barker, who will be talking with us about one of his greatest loves, Richard Adams's Watership Down.Index[0:00:00 - 56:42] Interview Part 1[0:56:43 - 0:59:59] Skit[1:00:00 - 1:15:05] The Judge's Corner[1:15:06 - 1:16:21] Challenge Winner[1:16:22 - 1:55:25] Interview Part 2[1:55:26 - 2:00:40] Credits and close

Richard Adams in the mid 1970s upon publication of Watership Down. Richard Adams (1920-2016) interviewed in 1978 by Richard Wolinsky. First posted January 1, 2017. Richard Adams, the author of “Watership Down,” “Plague Dogs” “Shardik” and other novels, died on Christmas Eve, 2016 at the age of 96. Born in 1920, he served as a liaison officer during World War II, and later joined the civil service, rising to the rank of Assistant Secretary to the Ministry of Housing. Past the age of fifty and a life-long civil servant, Richard Adams began telling stories to his daughters about talking rabbits while on a car trip. The daughters prompted him to turn the stories into a novel. After four failed attempts, a fifth try in 1972 found a publisher and “Watership Down” became an international best-seller and later a beloved classic fantasy. He followed that with “Shardik,” a novel about a giant bear. Along the way, Adams became an advocate against the use of animal testing, which is the subject of his third novel, “The Plague Dogs.” It was on tour for that third novel upon its American publication in the spring of 1978 that Richard Wolinsky interviewed Richard Adams. Though he'd conducted a handful of interviews with a co-host, this was Richard Wolinsky's first solo shot in what would be a long career as literary interviewer. Though Adams continued to write well into the 21st Century and would publish fourteen more books , he never again achieved the success of his first few novels, especially of course Watership Down. Watership Down and The Plague Dogs both became animated films; a live action film of another novel. The Girl in a Swing, was released in 1988. Watership Down also became a 39 episode TV series in from 1999 to 2001. A new mini-series of Watership Down from BBC One can be found on Netflix, featuring the voices of James McAvoy, Ben Kingsley, Nicholas Hoult and John Boyega. The interview was digitized, remastered and edited in 2016 by Richard Wolinsky. The exact date and location of the interview were not listed on the cassette. The post Richard Adams, “The Plague Dogs,” 1978 appeared first on KPFA.
Watership Down by Richard Adams is great for teenagers, but it's quite long and has dark and violent themes, making it inappropriate for younger children. However, set within the larger story of rabbits journeying to establish a new home, there are five folktales which can be read separately. Some are funny, and some are sad, … Continue reading "46 – The Mythology of Watership Down" The post 46 – The Mythology of Watership Down first appeared on The Children's Literature Podcast.
On this episode of A Life In Ruins podcast Connor and David sit down with Matt Stirn, a professional archaeologist, photographer and journalist. After catching up, the podcast as usual begins with how Matt got into archaeology.

"If you get G right, all else should fall into place." "We want engaged directors: a high quality, competent and diverse board." "That's table stakes for me at this point."21:31 On the Engine No.1-Exxon Mobil case and the advent of ESG activism. "My advice to boards on how to think about ESG activism is to read the room." "90% of the SP500 is intangibles, so how you steward ESG issues matters (human capital driving these outcomes matters)." 26:39 On the evolution of proxy voting, especially with the rise of index investing and proxy advisors.29:06 Rating ESG of Silicon Valley tech companies. "I'm going to give them an E." "You have to do a materiality assessment (that's ground zero for a good ESG program)." "Don't grow so fast that you don't see the damage you're doing to yourself."

54: The one after they finished the book Scripted by John Ruths and Newell Fisher Well...we did it. We went through the entire 1972 novel in detail, taking just short of a year. About half way through that year, having started out never having podcasted ever before, I hit one of the largest crises of my adult-life, and this podcast was only able to remain weekly as a result of John Ruth's extensive assistance with the script. And when I say "extensive", I mean that he has written most of the words you have heard me say on the podcast since episode 33: The Great River. I really cannot express my gratitude to John enough and hope to become more active in scripting from this point forward. He probably needs a rest! This, effectively, is the first episode of Season 2 of this podcast. So...what happens now? I plan to pause for 4 episodes now we have finished the book. Then the 1978 film version: approximately 20 episodes. After that the sequel 'Tales from WD', published in 1996: about 20 episodes. After that an analysis of the 1999 TV series: about 40 episodes. After that I plan to look at the 2018 Netflix version. And then there is the graphic novel that comes out later this year. It may well be that this podcast, ultimately, has a limited shelf-life as an ongoing current podcast, rather than an archive. If so...so be it. Is WD an allegory? (John Ruths) "The simple answer is, no, it is not. In an allegory, the characters, places, and even events represent hidden meaning with moral or political significance. Animal Farm is a great example of a political allegory--specifically, the Russian Revolution. However, in WD the characters are more archetypal and many of them are personifications. We get characters that represent basic character types: Hazel: I'd say that Hazel is leadership personified. Now, our Hazel does not necessarily have all of the typical leader tropes. He's not the biggest or the strongest. He's not even the smartest! Hazel is smart, and he starts off as a rabbit who would have likely ended up in the Sandleford Warren Owsla. Fiver: The seer and visionary. Without his initial vision, there would not have been a reason for our small band to leave Sandleford in the first place. Most likely, most of them would have stopped running. They continue and they continue to pay off for our group of rabbits that eventually grow into a successful warren. Fiver is also highly intuitive but Richard Adams makes it a point to make another rabbit that we'll discuss even smarter. Bigwig: Strength personified. He represents brute strength and I'd also say tenacity. Bigwig is not only the best fighter in Watership Down, he's really the best fighter in the entire novel. He demonstrates his strength on many occasions in the book and he has a never-give-up attitude. Dandelion: Dandelion is two things and I've always found charm in this. Of course, we know that Dandelion is the fastest rabbit so represents speed personified. But he's also the bard of our band of rabbits. Without a written language, rabbits pass their history and beliefs onto future generations via stories. Bluebell: Well, Bluebell is the other rabbit who can spin a good story. But we also know that Bluebell is also the jokester of our rabbits. In this way, he also represents a fairly archetypal character type and that is the jester. Blackberry: Intelligence personified. He's clearly the smartest and can conceptualize things that no other rabbit can. Kehaar: Not so much archetypal but maybe more of a character trope, Kehaar represents the exotic and knowledgeable foreigner. Once again, just some thoughts on if the novel could be considered an allegory. No, but it does have some ingredients that real allegories often have. It is easy to see how someone can incorrectly classify it in this way." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/watershipdown/message
La cordobesa Camila Sosa Villada nació en La Falda y es un talento múltiple. Actriz, narradora, ensayista y poeta, estudió Comunicación Social y Teatro en la universidad. Con su primera novela, Las malas, llegó de manera inesperada a consagrarse como una de las autoras argentinas más potentes y transgresoras, lo que le dio también éxito en otros países, premios como el Sor Juana de la Feria de Guadalajara y el Finestres de Narrativa, y traducciones en más de diez idiomas. Las malas, ya se ha dicho, es un libro inclasificable y atrevido que cuenta la historia de Tía Encarna, una travesti que pasa sus noches en la zona roja del Parque Sarmiento, una suerte de gurú y madre colectiva que cobija en su casa a otras integrantes de la comunidad travesti que van por el mundo con toda su vida encima, una vida “que cabe en una carterita de mala muerte”. Como actriz, en 2009 Camila Sosa estrenó su primer espectáculo unipersonal, Carnes tolendas, retrato escénico de una travesti, que sigue representándose con regularidad y con éxito. Fue protagonista de la película Mía, de Javier van de Couter, actuó en las miniseries La viuda de Rafael y La chica que limpia. Y en teatro hizo El bello indiferente, de Jean Cocteau, Putx madre y El cabaret de la Difunta Correa. Camila es ella misma una travesti que años atrás se prostituyó para sobrevivir y suele decir que su primer acto oficial de travestismo fue escribir. Autora del ensayo El viaje inútil, el relato Tesis sobre una domesticación y el libro de poemas La novia de Sandro -nombre del blog que tuvo durante un tiempo-, con su nuevo libro, Soy una tonta por quererte -traducción del título de una canción de Billie Holiday- confirma su talento narrativo con un volumen integrado por nueve cuentos que conforman un conjunto narrativo vibrante pleno de furia y belleza. En Libros que sí Hinde recomendó los libros de Svetlana Alexievich “La guerra no tiene rostro de mujer” “Voces” de Chernobil, “Los muchachos de zinc” y “El fin del homo sovieticus” y también “Hermano” de Esther Gerritsen. En voz alta, la actriz y escritora Carla Quevedo, que acaba de publicar el libro “Cómo me enamoré de Nicolas Cage”, lee un fragmento de “Una casa lejos de casa”, de Clara Obligado y en Te regalo un libro el escritor y editor de la revista y editorial Orsai Martín Felipe CAstagnet nos habla de “La colina de Watership” de Richard Adams.
