In this episode, Robin Clevett explores whether demand is slowing across the carpentry and joinery sector after hearing concerns from tradespeople working in the bespoke outdoor build market. Carpenter Josh Richard shares how he currently wins work and generate leads, how demand has been this year, and how far ahead he's booked. Later, Dan Brown is asked about demand for bespoke carpentry work, what tradespeople are saying about any slowdown, and whether customer attitudes to pricing are changing. We also hear from Richard Wagner, who catches up with Robin about training courses, adapting to different types of work when things are quiet, and what they've got planned next.

Die Bayreuther Festspiele feiern im Sommer ihr 150. Jubiläum. Höchste Zeit für eine eigene Playmobil-Figur des Übervaters Richard Wagner.

Die australische Performer:in, Flötist:in und Komponist:in Phoebe Bognár prägt die experimentelle Musikszene in Basel. International spielt sie an Festivals sowie mit namhaften Ensembles. Ihre multimedialen Performances verbinden Klang, Körper, Raum und Bewegung. Talk (03:17): Ich treffe Phoebe Bognár am Hundestrand im Basler Quartier St. Alban. Sie liebt Hunde und das Sitzen am Rhein – zu jeder Jahreszeit. Das Ufer passt zu ihr. Als Performer:in an der Flöte und mit Elektronik beschäftigt sie sich in ihrer Arbeit mit Fluss, Luft und Strom. Sie erzählt, dass sie ursprünglich gar nicht Flöte spielen wollte und dass ihre Kompositionen immer mit Texten beginnen, die Menschen gewidmet sind. So auch zwei Stücke für ihre Grossmütter in Hongkong und Ungarn. Wochenrückblick (25:22): Ein Blick auf Richard Wagner und seine Zeit in Luzern. Ausserdem: der Zürcher Kunstpreis geht an die Musikerin und Performancekünstlerin Erika Stucky. Im Filmbereich sorgt der neue Kinofilm «Primavera, Vivaldi und ich» für Aufmerksamkeit – eine poetische Auseinandersetzung mit Musik, Erinnerung und Identität. Neu in meiner Playlist (40:25): Die Basler Singer-Songwriterin Cori Nora präsentiert ihr neues Album «Pleasure and Focus». Darin verbindet sie Jazz-Einflüsse mit Indie-Pop und versteht Musik als offenen, gemeinsamen Raum – intim, atmosphärisch und zugleich kraftvoll. Mit ihrer ruhigen, klaren Stimme und verspielten Beats schafft sie ein musikalisches Mantra: sich Zeit nehmen, durchatmen und den Fokus nach innen richten. Konzerttipp (45:36): Der niederländische Pianist Joep Beving, eine feste Grösse der Neoklassik, bringt seine minimalistisch-poetischen Klavierstücke in die Tonhalle Zürich. Ein Abend der leisen Töne – am Dienstag, 19. Mai. Musikfrage der Woche (48:58): Was ist das lauteste Instrument der Welt? Schlagzeug, Orgel, Trompete oder Piccolo? Eine Frage rund um Lautstärke, Klangphysik und Wahrnehmung von Musik. Jaronas Scheurer mit Isabel Münzner, Kuratorin der Musikinstrumentensammlung des historischen Museums Basel.

Die Stadt Luzern und das Richard Wagner Museum haben die Luzerner Wagner-Geschichte wissenschaftlich auf antisemitische Bezüge untersuchen lassen. Ein 58-seitiger Bericht zeigt, dass der Antisemitismus des Komponisten «sehr deutlich und unmissverständlich» war. Weiter in der Sendung: · Ja oder Nein zur «Keine 10-Millionen-Schweiz»-Initiative? Polit-Exponenten aus Uri und Zug sind unterschiedlicher Meinung. · Jetzt kommt es gut!, heisst es von der Armee zur neuen Problemdrohne. Ein Besuch am Hauptstandort Emmen.

This week, Adrian and Moira are both traveling -- Adrian is finishing work on the newly titled Project 1933: Fascism Then and Now (available for preorder now). So, back by popular (?) demand (?), it's another Richard Wagner-focused episode of In Bed with the Right. Wagner's final opera, 1882's Parsifal, draws on the grail legends, various philosophers, Wagner's own aging process, and whatever the 19th century version of Buddhism for Dummies was. Come for the male suffering, stay for the syphilis-metaphors, the Best Little Whorehouse in Grailland, and the final split in the bromance known as Nietzgner (probably? We're talking about Nietzsche and Wagner).

Arthur Schopenhauer: The Life and Thought of Philosophy's Greatest Pessimist by David Bather Woods An engaging biography of one of the most influential Western philosophers and a thought-provoking exploration of how to live with Arthur Schopenhauer's pessimism.Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) almost wasn't one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century. Born in the Free City of Danzig to a family of shipping merchants, he was destined for a life of imports and exports until his father died in a suspected suicide. After much deliberation, the young Schopenhauer invested his inheritance in himself and his philosophical vocation. But the long road to recognition was a difficult one, with Schopenhauer spending all but the last decade of his life in total obscurity. Yet his ideas and style went on to influence great thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Sigmund Freud, as well as artists such as the composer Richard Wagner and writers Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, Samuel Beckett, and many more.A singular and remarkably influential thinker, Schopenhauer is usually described as an extreme pessimist. He questioned the purpose of existence in a world where pain and suffering are inescapable and happiness is all too brief. In this engaging philosophical biography, David Bather Woods reevaluates Schopenhauer's pessimism in the context of his life experiences, revealing the philosopher's relentless fascination with the world and making a case for his contemporary relevance. Bather Woods weaves together Schopenhauer's ideas with the story of how he came to be, including such topics as love, loneliness, morality, politics, gender, sexuality, death, suicide, fame, and madness. In doing so, this book answers some of life's most challenging questions about how to deal with pain and loss, and how to live with ourselves and each other.Despite his pessimistic outlook on human existence, Schopenhauer didn't give up on life. Rather, he recognized that the question of how to live becomes even more pressing, and he worked to provide an answer. Bather Woods shows how Schopenhauer's life informed his ideas and how they still resonate today. David Bather Woods is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick. He is coeditor with Timothy Stoll of The Schopenhauerian Mind. He has contributed chapters to The Proustian Mind, Schopenhauer's Moral Philosophy, and The Palgrave Schopenhauer Handbook. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Yet his ideas and style went on to influence great thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Sigmund Freud, as well as artists such as the composer Richard Wagner and writers Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, Samuel Beckett, and many more.A singular and remarkably influential thinker, Schopenhauer is usually described as an extreme pessimist. He questioned the purpose of existence in a world where pain and suffering are inescapable and happiness is all too brief. In this engaging philosophical biography, David Bather Woods reevaluates Schopenhauer's pessimism in the context of his life experiences, revealing the philosopher's relentless fascination with the world and making a case for his contemporary relevance. Bather Woods weaves together Schopenhauer's ideas with the story of how he came to be, including such topics as love, loneliness, morality, politics, gender, sexuality, death, suicide, fame, and madness. In doing so, this book answers some of life's most challenging questions about how to deal with pain and loss, and how to live with ourselves and each other.Despite his pessimistic outlook on human existence, Schopenhauer didn't give up on life. Rather, he recognized that the question of how to live becomes even more pressing, and he worked to provide an answer. Bather Woods shows how Schopenhauer's life informed his ideas and how they still resonate today. David Bather Woods is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick. He is coeditor with Timothy Stoll of The Schopenhauerian Mind. He has contributed chapters to The Proustian Mind, Schopenhauer's Moral Philosophy, and The Palgrave Schopenhauer Handbook.

Arthur Schopenhauer: The Life and Thought of Philosophy's Greatest Pessimist by David Bather Woods An engaging biography of one of the most influential Western philosophers and a thought-provoking exploration of how to live with Arthur Schopenhauer's pessimism.Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) almost wasn't one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century.

Esta semana viajamos en el cronovisor al mundo de la música. Nuestro protagonista junto a Jesús Callejo en nuestra particular máquina del tiempo será Richard Wagner. Seguidamente viajamos al París de la década de 1980. Lo hacemos a colación de una magnífica película que acaba de estrenarse, El arquitecto, en donde se nos habla de la historia del hombre que ganó el concurso para levantar el monumento de La Defense en París, Otto von Spreckelsen. Nuestro guía será Pablo Olalquiaga, vicedecano del Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Madrid. En nuestra sección de Historia y Ciencia 2.0 Pablo Arias nos habla del nacimiento de los signos aritméticos. Y acabamos este nuevo programa viajando a la Alejandría del siglo I a. C. para descubrir la figura de la reina Arsínoe. Lo hacemos de la mano de Nieves García, autora de Arsínoe, reina de Alejandría (Mascarón de Proa 2025)

Así es. Wagner es la viva imagen del drama humano fundido en el infinito musical. Es el preludio de la modernidad y, al mismo tiempo, ese eco del 'anhelo infinito'. Junto a Jesús Callejo descubriremos en el cronovisor de esta semana algunos de los secretos de la obra de Wagner que han marcaron su época y los tiempos que lo continuaron

Plongez dans l'histoire de Richard Wagner et de son mécène le roi Louis II de Bavière, une relation hors du commun qui a marqué l'histoire de la musique et de l'art. Découvrez comment, au matin du 18 avril 1871, Wagner, alors presque sexagénaire, arrive à Bayreuth avec l'ambition de bâtir le théâtre de ses rêves, un lieu unique pour ses œuvres. Une ambition folle, rendue possible grâce au soutien inconditionnel et financier de Louis II, jeune roi passionné par l'œuvre du compositeur.Mais cette alliance, bien que fusionnelle, n'a pas été sans heurts. Entre les goûts de luxe de Wagner qui choquent la bourgeoisie munichoise, les tensions autour de la représentation de ses opéras et une relation qualifiée de "tombeau de l'amitié" par certains, Franck Ferrand vous dévoile les coulisses d'une histoire fascinante, faite de passion, de démesure et de génie artistique.Revivez la construction du Festspielhaus, l'abîme mystique de la fosse d'orchestre, les sièges volontairement inconfortables pensés par Wagner pour maintenir l'attention du public, et les répétitions grandioses. De la première pierre posée en 1872 aux dernières rencontres bouleversantes, cet épisode vous transportera au cœur de l'intimité d'un compositeur visionnaire et d'un roi éperdu d'amour pour son art.Plongez dans l'histoire des grands personnages et des évènements marquants qui ont façonné notre monde ! Avec enthousiasme et talent, Franck Ferrand vous révèle les coulisses de l'histoire avec un grand H, entre mystères, secrets et épisodes méconnus : un cadeau pour les amoureux du passé, de la préhistoire à l'histoire contemporaine.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

In this Film Ireland podcast, recorded live on location in Washington, D.C. at the Capital Irish Film Festival, we chat with author, playwright and screenwriter Sheena Lambert about her feature Báite.Presented annually by Solas Nua, the 20th edition of the Capital Irish Film Festival ran from 26th February to 1st March 2026, presenting one of the largest programmes of Irish cinema in North America. Irish-language feature Báite tells the story of a rural village during an All-Ireland weekend in 1975. Blending murder mystery with family drama, the film follows Peggy Casey as her life begins to unravel after a body surfaces in the local man-made lake.In this episode, we catch up with Sheena Lambert about her journey as a writer, the origins of the story, and the ins and outs of adapting a project from page to screen.Listen now on SoundCloud, Apple, Spotify, Acast and Amazon, or subscribe to Film Ireland wherever you get your podcasts.Sheena LambertDublin-based screenwriter, playwright and novelist Sheena Lambert has an exciting few months ahead with the 2025 release of her debut feature film, BÁITE, an adaptation of her own novel The Lake (HarperCollins, 2015) which was filmed in Galway and produced by Danú Media under TG4/Screen Ireland's Cine4 Scheme. Following a hugely successful, sold-out, extended summer run, Sheena's stage play COSIMA, based on her Screen Ireland supported feature screenplay of the same name, is scheduled for an Irish tour via Breda Cashe Productions, with some pre-Christmas Dublin dates already announced. Cosima was the daughter of Franz Liszt, who refused to allow her to perform publicly; she married Richard Wagner to get away from her controlling father and helped him become a much greater success than her father had ever been.BáiteWinner of Best Irish Language Feature Film at the 2025 Galway Film Fleadh and nominated in four categories at the 2026 Irish Film & Television Academy Awards, Báite arrives in cinemas nationwide on 6th March 2026 to coincide with Seachtain na Gaeilge (1–17 March).

Jeho nejnovější isncenace Zlato Rýna měla premiéru tento čtvrtek, reportáž ze zkoušek nabídneme v dnešním pořadu. Přidáme i rozhovor s Martinem Poštou, který za projekt Signal Space dostal tento týden "audiovizuálního oscara". Připravila Michaela Vetešková.

When an entrenched oligarchy and a cynical revolution go to war with one another, what happens to all the people in the middle?  Some may be victimized, others silenced, and yet others swept up in the churn of events.  In Giacomo Meyerbeer's Le Prophète, Jean of Leiden finds himself assuming the mantle of prophet and messiah, setting up expectations for himself that he can never fulfil.  This epic French Grand Opera, loosely based on a real historical figure who came to be known as “King of the New Jerusalem,” was a spectacular success.  However, for many reasons, not least of them the jealousy and resentment from composer Richard Wagner, Meyerbeer is not well-known today.  Nevertheless, his works offer many delights, as well as heart-rending drama.  Join host Pat, along with guest co-host Gerald Malone for a close look at Meyerbeer's Le Prophète. Gerald Malone's website, TheRestIsOpera.com is brimming with commentary on opera productions that he has seen around the world, as well as “scuttlebutt” about opera from a suspiciously well-informed little dog.

Inspired by Richard Wagner's idea of the total artwork, European modernist artists began to pursue multimedia projects that mixed colors, sounds, and shapes. Dr. Polina Dimova's At the Crossroads of the Senses: The Synaesthetic Metaphor Across the Arts in European Modernism (Penn State UP, 2024) traces this new sensory experience of synaesthesia—the physiological or figurative blending of senses—as a modernist phenomenon from its scientific description in the late nineteenth century to its prevalence in the early twentieth. Structured around twenty theses on synaesthesia, this book explores the integral relationship between modernist art, science, and technology, tracing not only how modernist artists perceptually internalized and absorbed technology and its effects but also how they appropriated it to achieve their own aesthetic, metaphysical, and social goals. Through case studies of prominent multimodal artists—Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, Richard Strauss, Aleksandr Scriabin, Wassily Kandinsky, František Kupka, Andrei Bely, and Rainer Maria Rilke—At the Crossroads of the Senses reveals the color-forms and color-sounds that, for these artists, laid the foundations of the world and served as the catalyst for the flourishing exchanges among the arts at the fin de siècle. Rooted in archival research in Russia, Germany, France, and the Czech Republic, At the Crossroads of the Senses taps overlooked scientific sources to offer a fresh perspective on European modernism. Sensory studies scholars, literary critics, and art and music historians alike will welcome its many contributions, not least among them a refreshing advocacy for a kind of sensuous reading practice. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Richard Wagner's first truly successful opera, set in medieval Rome, sees a young nobleman in love with a young plebeian woman.  While this might sound like it's going to be an operatic love story, it's quite a different thing entirely: Grand Opera, Wagner-style.  Based on a controversial and visionary historical figure who became a footnote, but aspired to change the face of history, it has soaring music, but this opera is less concerned with romance than the fortunes of a leader trying to accumulate power in order to bring peace and equality to his people.   Hosted by Pat, Kathleen, and Grant   For more cultural and arts commentary by Kathleen Van De Wille, visit Constructive Criticism on Substack.

Was Richard Wagner a revolutionary artist who reshaped music forever, or an egotists mired in scandal, whose dangerous ideas were inseparable from the operas he created? How did the legendary worlds encapsulated in his bombastic music - featuring gods, heroes, and monsters - become entangled with politics and power? And, did Wagner inspire Hitler and the Nazis…? Join Tom and Dominic at the Royal Albert Hall, featuring the renowned  Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by Oliver Zeffman, as they play the music of Wagner live, as they delve into the life of one of the most controversial but famous figures in all of musical history: Richard Wagner. _______ Hive.

My guest today is director Rian Johnson, which is exciting for me, because I've been a huge fan of his ever since seeing his first feature film, ‘Brick,'  in 2006. Since then, he's made six more feature films, including ‘Looper‘ in 2012; ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘ in 2017; the murder mystery ‘Knives Out‘ in 2019; and his most recent movie, another in the 'Knives Out' series, ‘Wake Up Dead Man,‘ which is already out in theaters, and comes to Netflix on December 12. I talked to Rian about a piece of music that had a profound impact on him, which was the overture to ‘Das Rheingold‘ by Richard Wagner. For more info, visit songexploder.net/rian-johnson.
