Podcasts about rivals

From 10/08 Hour 3: The Sports Junkies debate if the Commanders and Bears have become rivals.

Ann Landers was thrilled. She'd just landed a job as the new syndicated advice columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. Her new role gave Ann something to call her own. Then, just three months later, her twin sister Abby shared some news. She'd gotten a job as an advice columnist, too. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: The book “Dear Ann, Deary Abby: The Unauthorized Biography of Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren” by Jan Pottker and Bob Speziale “Twin lovelorn advisers torn asunder by success,” by Paul O'Neil for Life Magazine The book, “The Best of Ann Landers: Her Favorite Letters of All Time,” by Ann Landers The book, “The Best of Dear Abby,” by Abigail Van Buren “Pauline Phillips, better known as ‘Dear Abby,' dies at 94,” Washington Post “Ann Landers, advice giver to the millions, is dead at 83,” by Margalit Fox for the New York Times “The rivalry of Dear Abby and Ann Landers,” by Melissa Baron for BookRiot.com “Landers' death renews family feud,” South Florida Sun Sentinel “Pauline Phillips, longtime Dear Abby advice dies at 94,” by Michael Martinez for CNN “Columnists/ daughters carry on the feud,” by Beverly Beyette for the Los Angeles Times “Competition between Iowa sisters who penned Dear Abby, Ann Landers fueled advice columns,” Des Moines Register Are you enjoying An Old Timey Podcast?

In France Sebastien Lecornu resigns as prime minister saying the conditions were not fulfilled for him to carry on. He criticised unwillingness by political parties to reach compromises. Several parties are calling for early elections and some are calling for President Macron to go - although he has always said he will not stand down before his term ends in 2027. Stocks fell sharply on the Paris exchange amid concerns about the political parties' ability to tackle the country's economic problems, especially its massive debt. Also: A Sudanese militia leader has been found guilty of war crimes in the first International Criminal Court verdict on atrocities in Darfur more than twenty years ago, Hamas' chief negotiator has met Egyptian and Qatari mediators ahead of indirect talks with Israeli officials later, and the British author and journalist, Jilly Cooper has died at the age of 88. She gained fame for her romantic novels - the best known of which are her Rutshire Chronicles. One of the books - Rivals was successfully serialised by Disney Plus in 2024.

Today, we remember and celebrate the extraordinary life of Jilly Cooper, who has sadly passed away at the age of 88. A literary icon, Jilly captured hearts and imaginations with her wit, warmth, and unmistakable voice. Her novels, especially beloved titles like Riders and Rivals, sold over 11 million copies in the UK alone and most recently inspired the hit Disney+ adaptation that introduced her work to a whole new generation. I had the immense privilege of speaking with Jilly just last October. She was everything I'd hoped she would be - funny, sharp, generous and inspiring. Today, in tribute to her legacy and the joy she brought to so many, I'm honoured to share the conversation with you again. ___________________________________________________________________ Dame Jilly Cooper. What a legend. For the uninitiated (where have you been?) she's a journalist and author most famous for her bestselling Rutshire Chronicle series which includes Riders, Polo and Rivals - the latter of which has now made into a hugely popular TV series starring David Tennant, Danny Dyer and Katherine Parkinson. In the past, Dame Jilly's books have been unfairly dismissed as mere ‘bonkbusters', charting the sex lives of the upper classes. But, as I discover, there's much more to both her writing - and to her. We talk about her failures with technology, why she wishes she could throw more things away, as well as the terrifying time she lost an entire manuscript on the number 28 bus and had to rewrite it. Plus her experiences of interviewing Margaret Thatcher, her friendship with the Queen, her obsession with beautiful people and ‘macho men' - and why she'd wholeheartedly recommend adoption to others. Thank you Dame Jilly. A total sport (but we knew that). ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Remembering Dame Gili Cooper 03:43 Personal Reflections and Literary Success 07:37 Exploring Themes of Masculinity and Beauty 10:15 Family, Loss, and Resilience 11:28 Failures and Fertility Challenges 21:18 Dieting and Body Image 25:12 Interviewing Margaret Thatcher 26:46 Technical Challenges and Writing Process 30:27 Friendship and Social Media

This podcast episode by Alevtina Solovyeva traces Central Asia as the enduring crossroads “between empires,” where caravan routes outlast the borders drawn over them. It opens with the Silk Roads: trade as the region's original superpower – moving goods, ideas, and identities. The narrative then tracks how Qing–Russian rivalry and the 19th century “Great Game” layered governors, railways, and taxes onto steppe and peoples, then the Soviet period engineered republics, industries, and pipelines while China watched, split, and later recalibrated. Independence for the five Central Asian states after 1991 reset the board: Russia remained the familiar security habit; China re-entered with capital and corridors, culminating in the Belt and Road. Multi-vector tendencies took hold as Turkey, Iran, Japan, Korea, the U.S., and the EU pressed in. The 2022, start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, accelerated internal and external processes concerning Central Asia as a strategic area, as well as a Russia-China partner-rivalry across energy, transport, finance, and soft power. Four platforms – SCO, EAEU, BRICS, and BRI – showcase both cooperation and competition, with BRI as the physical layer that forces choices on routes, rules, and control. Looking to 2025-2030, three stress tests loom: the terms of Power of Siberia-2, corridor races (CKU vs. Kazakh/Middle Corridor routes), and “security creep.” Central Asia has become a focal arena for international actors amid deep shifts in power balances and rules. It is a fast-moving environment with open-ended trajectories, multiple internal and external agents and situational theatres where interests intersect.

Transcript:Ca: El paisatge de tardor envoltava la masia de pedra antiga amb arbres de roure plens de colors càlids.En: The autumn landscape surrounded the old stone masia, with oak trees full of warm colors.Ca: Era el dia de la calçotada anual de la família, un esdeveniment que els cosins esperaven amb impaciència.En: It was the day of the family's annual calçotada, an event the cousins eagerly anticipated.Ca: Les taules eren llargues, cobertes amb estovalles de quadres vermells i plenes de rialles i xivarri.En: The tables were long, covered with red checkered tablecloths and filled with laughter and chatter.Ca: Però Laia tenia un objectiu clar aquella tarda.En: But Laia had a clear objective that afternoon.Ca: —Aquest any guanyaré el concurs de calçots!En: "This year I'll win the calçots competition!"Ca: — va dir amb decisió, mentre mirava els preparatius.En: she said with determination as she watched the preparations.Ca: Marc, el seu cosí competitiu, no podia evitar somriure amb superioritat.En: Marc, her competitive cousin, couldn't help but smile with superiority.Ca: —Ja veurem, Laia.En: "We'll see, Laia.Ca: Ha ha!En: Ha ha!"Ca: — responia Marc mentre posava els calçots a la graella.En: replied Marc as he placed the calçots on the grill.Ca: Mentre els fums del foc s'alçaven lentament, un gir inesperat va marcar el començament dels desastres.En: As the smoke slowly rose from the fire, an unexpected turn marked the beginning of the disasters.Ca: La graella, mal col·locada, es va tombar de cop, fent caure els calçots a terra.En: The grill, poorly placed, suddenly tipped over, causing the calçots to fall to the ground.Ca: Els crits d'alarma van ressonar, i la rivalitat entre Laia i Marc es va deixar de banda per un moment.En: Alarms rang out, and the rivalry between Laia and Marc was set aside for a moment.Ca: —Quin desastre!En: "What a disaster!"Ca: — es va lamentar Jordi, el tercer cosí, amb una rialla irònica.En: lamented Jordi, the third cousin, with an ironic laugh.Ca: Però allò no era tot.En: But that wasn't all.Ca: Poc després, van adonar-se que algú havia pres un sac de calçots.En: Shortly after, they realized someone had taken a sack of calçots.Ca: Els sospitosos eren la família rival que celebrava la seva pròpia calçotada al poble.En: The suspects were the rival family who were celebrating their own calçotada in the village.Ca: Laia, veient que no guanyaria sense els calçots, va prendre una decisió agosarada.En: Laia, seeing she wouldn't win without the calçots, made a bold decision.Ca: —Marc, necessito que em facis costat— va demanar Laia, posant de banda la seva rivalitat momentània.En: "Marc, I need you to back me up," she asked, momentarily putting aside their rivalry.Ca: —Perfecte!En: "Perfect!Ca: Anem a buscar els nostres calçots!En: Let's go get our calçots!"Ca: — va acceptar Marc amb un somriure còmplice.En: Marc agreed with a conspiratorial smile.Ca: Així que, esquivant la vigilant mirada de la seva avia, van córrer cap a la casa del costat.En: So, dodging the watchful eye of their grandmother, they ran to the neighboring house.Ca: Era una operació per recuperar el botí.En: It was an operation to reclaim the loot.Ca: Les rialles es van barrejar amb l'adrenalina mentre entraven al jardí dels veïns.En: Their laughter mixed with adrenaline as they entered the neighbors' garden.Ca: Finalment, amb el sac de calçots a les mans, van fugir sota el cel ennuvolat mentre la família rival protestava sorollosament.En: Finally, with the sack of calçots in hand, they fled under the cloudy sky as the rival family protested loudly.Ca: De retorn a la seva pròpia festa, Laia i Marc van ser rebuts amb aclamacions.En: Returning to their own party, Laia and Marc were greeted with cheers.Ca: La competició continuava, i enmig de l'emoció i el descontrol, Laia va guanyar el noble títol de Reina dels Calçots.En: The competition continued, and amid the excitement and chaos, Laia won the noble title of Queen of the Calçots.Ca: —Has guanyat justament, Laia— va admetre Marc, aquesta vegada amb un somriure sincer.En: "You've won fair and square, Laia," admitted Marc, this time with a sincere smile.Ca: Laia, somrient mentre feia un brindis amb Marc i Jordi, va comprendre que, malgrat tot, allò que realment importava era estar junts, rient dels petits desastres familiars.En: Laia, smiling as she toasted with Marc and Jordi, realized that, despite everything, what truly mattered was being together, laughing at the small family disasters.Ca: Els vincles són més forts quan es compartia un moment així, i Laia ho va agrair des del cor.En: Bonds are stronger when a moment like this is shared, and Laia was grateful from the heart.Ca: I així, la calçotada va continuar fins que la llum del dia es va apagar lentament, amb el sabor dels calçots que omplia l'aire d'una dolça festa.En: And so, the calçotada continued until the day's light slowly faded, with the flavor of calçots filling the air with a sweet celebration.

Professor Suzannah Lipscomb engages in a captivating conversation with award-winning dramatist Liz Duffy Adams about the new Royal Shakespeare production of her play Born With Teeth, which imagines a thrilling collaboration between William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe. Suzannah and Liz delve into the fiery dynamics of the two men's relationship and the influence of politics on their works.Shakespeare and Marlowe existed under a time of oppressive royal censorship, when displeasing the crown would mean a trip to the Tower, or worse. How did they balance this struggle for truth and creativity amid the palpable danger?Extracts from Born With Teeth by Liz Duffy Adams, performed by Ncuti Gatwa and Edward Bluemel, courtesy of Royal Shakespeare CompanyMORE:Murder of Christopher MarloweShakespeare's Son Hamnet with Maggie O'FarrellPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.
