Apologies for the audio guys!! These things can happen with live events. Last week I had the pleasure of hosting a charity breakfast with Premier Chris Minns to raise funds for Chalky’s Gym in Moree. Chalky’s isn’t just a boxing gym — it’s a place where young people in the community learn confidence, discipline, and character. Boxing has changed the lives of many out there. It gives kids purpose, routine, and someone in their corner. It’s also changed the lives of many in areas where crime and poverty are serious problems. As part of the event, I sat down for a live podcast with two legends of the sport, Jeff Fenech and Johnny Lewis. We were also joined by Premier Minns and a representative from Chalky’s (Robert Burton) to talk about the incredible work they’re doing in Moree. We spoke about the power of mentors, the discipline that boxing teaches, and why gyms like Chalky’s are so important — not just for the sport, but for shaping the next generation.

An episode all about cognitive dissonance. Ever feel like there are two yous in the same head? The one that cares about the planet, and the one that doesn't act like it does? And that having two yous makes at least one of your yous freak out? You (and you) are not alone. Welcome to cognitive dissonance. As Walt Whitman wrote: you contain multitudes. It's a feature, not a bug, of being alive. Humans, it turns out, are very good at thinking conflicting things at the same time.  This helps us get through the day, but means we're as likely to run away from scary facts we don't like - eg, the state of planet Earth - as to take meaningful action. It's as bad for our politics as it is for getting our heads around climate change. What's to be done? In this episode, Dave chats all things cognitive dissonance and more with the brilliant Sarah Stein Lubrano. Sarah's an author, podcaster and academic whose work is at the intersection of psychology, politics, and cognitive science. Her new book, Don't Talk About Politics: How to change 21st century minds, is out in mid-May. Let me know your thoughts on the show - hello@yourbrainonclimate.com. Please rate, review and subscribe, and share the show on socials. Please consider chucking this humble indie podcaster a few quid at www.patreon.com/yourbrainonclimate. Owl noises = references: 23:52 - Joseph Henrich coined the term WEIRD & wrote a book about it. 32:30 - Excellent article on Kristin Laurin's work studying bans. 42:44 - Deep organising, via the legend that was Jane McAlevey. 49:29 - Google Deepmind founder Mustafa Suleyman's terrifying book, the Coming Wave. 52:35 - critical theory and social pathology.Clips in this episode are from the (er) 1984 film of 1984, starring Robert Burton and John Hurt. The show is hosted and produced by me, Dave Powell, who you can find @powellds on Bluesky and X/Twitter, although I don't use the latter any more.

These two exemplify "steadfastness" in more ways than I can say. Pastor Robert and Cristi are not strangers of overcoming obstacles. They've remained faithful in the midst of opposition, keeping their "Yes" fully intact to the Lord. Which has ultimately led to the birth of, "YES Lord" Church. They remind us that steadfastness and perseverance isn't just for us, it's for those around us - those watching and who will ultimately be impacted by our willingness to stick it out when it gets hard.

In this shortcast edition of the Podcast for Social Research, recorded live at BISR Central, BISR's Rebecca Ariel Porte, Paige Sweet, and special guest Sonia Werner take an in-depth look back at Jamie Babbit's 1999 queer cult classic But I'm a Cheerleader—a campy send-up of gay conversion therapy and compulsory heterosexuality. What are the “roots” of sexual desire? Rebecca, Paige, and Sonia parse the film's playful mockery of the very notion—spoiler alert!—that sexuality (of any stripe) has anything so neatly grounded about it. Topics touched on include: sexuality's intersubjective structure, plastic flowers and monochrome palettes, Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, comedy as coping mechanism, femme queerness, butch visibility, camp as a celebration of surfaces, Foucault, discipline, straight pedagogy, and more!  You can download the episode by right-clicking here and selecting “save as.” Or, look us up on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

In this episode of High Theory, Laura Stokes talks about melancholy. One of the four humors in ancient humoral medicine, melancholy, or black bile, is a fluid substance and spiritual principle that was thought to move within the human body. A proper quantity of black bile allows one to be calm and contemplative, thoughtful and withdrawn. A superabundance produces sadness, indigestion, and a host of other evils. Research is a melancholy practice; scholars are prone to melancholic dispositions. Throughout the episode Laura refers to Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, an early modern text that describes the sources, symptoms, and treatments for a surplus of melancholy, in a rather meandering way, with an entire separate disquisition on love melancholy. It was published in multiple versions over Burton's lifetime – people usually cite the 1638 edition. Laura Stokes is an associate professor of history at Stanford University where they study Early Modern Europe. Their first book Demons of Urban Reform: Early European Witch Trials and Criminal Justice, 1430-1530 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2011) examines the origins of witchcraft prosecution in fifteenth-century Europe against the backdrop of a general rise in the prosecution of crime and other measures of social control. They are currently working on a microhistory of a murder conspiracy within the Basel butchers' guild at the turn of the sixteenth century, which is really about Early Modern economic cultures. And they run pretty amazing summer reading groups. Image: © 2022 Saronik Bosu Learn more about your ad choices.

As the BBC celebrates its centenary, Music Matters is joined by composers Matthew Herbert and Anna Meredith, and Artistic Associate of the Southbank Gillian Moore, to discuss the corporation's role as a commissioner of contemporary repertoire during the past 100 years. Tom catches-up with composer Tom Floyd, singer Sophie Goldrick, and Professor Marion Thain during rehearsals of a new opera, Veritable Michael, which charts the creative life and love affair of two women who operated together under the pseudonym Michael Field – a 19th century fictional author whose work was celebrated by the likes of Oscar Wilde and Robert Browning. And Tom takes a trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum where he'd joined by Harriet Reed, the co-curator of Re:Imagining Musicals – a new display of glittering costumes and musical memorabilia – to explore the craftmanship, creative renewal, and evolutionary impetus behind some of the most iconic musicals of the past seven decades.

Hey, Roar Nation! I'm happy to be back with you for another episode! We are focusing on the revelation of who we are in Christ and who we are called to be in this world. This concept will change your life! Are you living as an orphan in this world or as a true Son of the King? Join us for this encouraging conversation with today's guest. Robert Burton is the pastor of YES LORD Amarillo. He works with drug addicts and the homeless, people he calls “the least, the last, and the lost,” believing God has called him to this work to share the Gospel and the love of Jesus. He's been married to his high school sweetheart for almost 30 years, and they have two daughters. His wife joins him in kingdom work, passionately teaching people about their true identity in the Lord. Robert looks for opportunities every day to tell people about their identity in Christ and break their “orphan spirit” with the Good News.  Robert tells the story of his personal orphan spirit, wrecked home life, total rejection of Jesus, and early alcohol addiction. A radical encounter with Jesus in 1997 in his early twenties turned his life around, changed his habits, cleaned up his life, and plunged him into God's Word. Becoming a father to his first daughter gave him the truest picture of God's love as a Father and propelled him forward into youth ministry, working with a rough and rowdy group of boys who needed to know God's love. Every step in Robert's journey has confirmed his identity in Christ as a son and a vessel to bring His love to others, even though he has had ups and downs as a pastor. Like all of us, he has been through ministry missteps and failures that left him broken, angry, bitter, and wounded. He shares his lessons learned about trusting God when you are crushed and broken, along with what it means to have compassion and choose forgiveness.  At the core of Robert's message and ministry is the change that Jesus brings to broken and wasted lives. He pursues the unlovable with the message of God's love as a faithful, compassionate Father. Listen in to hear the story of God's amazing work in Robert's life and ministry!

In this episode, we sit down with neurologist Robert Burton, author of On Being Certain, a book that fundamentally changed the way I think about what a belief actually is. That's because the book posits conclusions are not conscious choices, and certainty is not even a thought process. Certainty and similar states of “knowing,” as he puts it, are "sensations that feel like thoughts, but arise out of involuntary brain mechanisms that function independently of reason."

In this episode, Bo Bennett speaks with neurologist Dr. Robert Burton about what it means (or doesn't mean) to be "certain." Wars have been fought and people murdered because people are claim certainty about "what they feel is right," whether that be following a god's commands or simply following a passionate and convincing human leader. Dr. Robert Burton graduated from Yale University and the University of California, San Francisco's School of Medicine, where he also completed his neurology residency. At age thirty-three, he was appointed chief of the Division of Neurology at Mt. Zion-UCSF Hospital, where he subsequently became Associate Chief of the Department of Neurosciences. His writings include "On Being Certain: Believing You Are Right Even When You're Not," three critically acclaimed novels and a neuroscience and culture column at Salon.com, "Mind Reader" (2008-2009). He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. His new book, "A Skeptic's Guide to the Mind; What Neuroscience Can and Cannot Tell Us About Ourselves," is now available.

The neurologist Robert Burton has spent years exploring our shaky reliance on what he calls "involuntary mental sensations": the internal perceptions by which we come to "know" our own minds. He says these inner representations, offered up by the brain itself, are partial at best, delusory at worst. And that's a problem not only for ordinary seekers of self-knowledge but also for an ambitious group of neuroscientists attempting to explain consciousness and the human psyche, while beholden to many of the same, suspect intuitions that bamboozle the rest of us. Bob raises these and other problems in his latest book, "A Skeptic's Guide to the Mind: What Neuroscience Can and Cannot Tell us About Ourselves." We had a long and wide-ranging tête-à-tête on the difficulties that loom when science shifts from studying the brain to mapping the mind, and the deep and dubious assumptions built into categories such as conscious and unconscious, self and other, choice and non-choice.

As a preamble to next week's interview with neurologist and neuroskeptic Robert Burton, I re-aired this earlier conversation with Bob from 2008. In it, we discussed his book "On Being Certain: Believing You're Right Even When You're Wrong," about our brain's often unreliable sense of self-certainty. Bob says our inner sensation of knowing or not knowing something, of familiarity or unfamiliarity – so critical to perception, judgment and decisionmaking – is based on neural mechanisms that can go badly awry and, even when things are working OK, is hardly a dependable arbiter of truth.

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss Robert Burton's masterpiece The Anatomy of Melancholy.In 1621 the priest and scholar Robert Burton published a book quite unlike any other. The Anatomy of Melancholy brings together almost two thousand years of scholarship, from Ancient Greek philosophy to seventeenth-century medicine. Melancholy, a condition believed to be caused by an imbalance of the body's four humours, was characterised by despondency, depression and inactivity. Burton himself suffered from it, and resolved to compile an authoritative work of scholarship on the malady, drawing on all relevant sources.Despite its subject matter the Anatomy is an entertaining work, described by Samuel Johnson as the only book 'that ever took him out of bed two hours sooner than he wished to rise.' It also offers a fascinating insight into seventeenth-century medical theory, and influenced many generations of playwrights and poets.With:Julie SandersProfessor of English Literature and Drama at the University of NottinghamMary Ann LundLecturer in English at the University of LeicesterErin SullivanLecturer and Fellow at the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham.Producer: Thomas Morris.
