On this week's episode, Cody kicks things off with an enthusiastic discussion about some of the exciting news emerging from the highly anticipated New York Comic-Con 2025. He shares with Joe the thrilling announcement regarding the much-celebrated return of Jessica Jones, a character that has garnered a loyal fanbase, as she will be portrayed once again by the talented actress Kristen Ritter in the upcoming season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. This revival has sparked a wave of excitement among fans, who are eager to see how Jessica's character will evolve within the gritty narrative of Hell's Kitchen. Additionally, Cody reveals that there will be a new addition to the cast for this season: none other than Matthew Lillard, known for his diverse roles in both film and television, who will take on the character of Mr. Charles. This character is expected to serve as a formidable rival to Vincent D'Onofrio's iconic portrayal of Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin. The dynamic between these characters promises to add depth and intrigue to the unfolding storylines.Continuing the conversation, Cody expresses his enthusiasm about Edgar Wright's upcoming project, The Running Man, which has been generating buzz in the film community. He discusses the unique approach Wright is known for, particularly his ability to blend humor with action, and how this might redefine the classic narrative originally conceived by Stephen King. Cody's excitement is palpable as he transitions to a discussion about anime, specifically highlighting his anticipation for the new season of One-Punch Man. This leads to an engaging dialogue between the two about the intricacies of anime, including the often-controversial topic of filler episodes. They explore how filler can sometimes detract from the main storyline, yet also provide opportunities for character development and world-building, leading to a deeper appreciation of the medium.As the episode progresses, the conversation shifts to literature, with both Cody and Joe sharing insights about the books they are currently reading. Cody dives into a discussion about The End of the World as We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand, a collection of short stories that expand upon the universe of King's iconic novel. He elaborates on how these new tales offer fresh perspectives and narratives that enrich the original story, and how they resonate with contemporary themes of survival and morality. Joe then shares his own literary journey, revealing that he has started reading the latest installment in the Robert Langdon series, titled The Secret of Secrets. This prompts a lively exchange about Dan Brown's distinctive writing style, his penchant for weaving intricate puzzles, and the thrill of uncovering hidden truths within historical contexts.To wrap up the episode, the guys delve into a discussion about the novel "S." by Doug Dorst and J.J. Abrams. They explore the innovative narrative structure of the book, which combines a story with margins filled with annotations, letters, and other ephemera that create a multi-layered reading experience. Cody and Joe contemplate the implications of such a format on storytelling and how it challenges traditional narratives, inviting readers to engage in a more interactive way. Their conversation reflects a shared appreciation for creativity in literature and the evolving nature of storytelling in both books and other media. Overall, this episode is packed with insights, excitement, and a celebration of the rich tapestry of storytelling across various platforms.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

This collection of principles is a game-changer for anyone wanting to earn more, be healthier, grow, or the best at what they do. Habits of High Performers will show you that high performance is hormonal and plays a massive role in your ability to perform at your best. Cortisol, dopamine, and oxytocin all influence how we handle stress, stay motivated, and build connections.

Habits of High Performers is a roadmap for everyday people to achieve extraordinary things. The Secrets of Secrets by Dan Brown Accompanying celebrated academic, Katherine Solomon, to a lecture she's been invited to give in Prague, Robert Langdon's world spirals out of control when she disappears without trace from their hotel room. Far from home and well out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits against forces unknown to recover the woman he loves. But Prague is an old and dangerous city, steeped in folklore and mystery. For over two thousand years, the tides of history have washed back and forth over it, leaving behind echoes of everything that has gone before. Little can Langdon know that he is being stalked by a spectre from that dark past. He must use all of his arcane knowledge to decipher the world around him before he too is consumed by the rings of treachery and deception that have swallowed Katherine. Against a backdrop of vast castles, towering churches, graveyards buried twelve deep and labyrinthine underground passages, Langdon must navigate a shadow city hiding in plain sight, a city which has successfully kept its secrets for centuries and will not readily deliver them. This is a battlefield unlike any he has previously experienced, one on which he must fight not for his only life, but for the future of humanity itself.

On this week's episode we dive in Dan Brown's newest release, The Secret of Secrets, that follows Robert Langdon on an adventure around Prague trying to solve the mystery of why Katherine Solomon's manuscript is being deemed a national security threat and has in turn put their lives at risk. We are bth HUGE Dan Brown fans, and this book delivered on all the reasons why we find his writing to be so entertaining. This book varies a lot from the previous Robert Langdon books as it focuses primarily on Katherine's area of expertise, noetic science, instead of Robert's area of expertise, symbolism and history. This book really made us self reflect and asked a lot of philosophical questions about the world and how we function within it.

Es ist wieder ein Wälzer geworden, und Falko hat sich mit Matt Grandis die Frage gestellt: Lohnt es sich, das Buch zu lesen, oder sollte man SYS64738 tippen?

«In Erwartung eines Glücks» der Deutsch-Französin Sylvie Schenk ist ein subtiler und eindringlicher Roman über das Altern. «The Secret of Secrets» ist das jüngste Elaborat aus der Thrillerküche des US-Amerikaners Dan Brown – spannungsgeladen, aber auch geschwätzig. Im Roman «In Erwartung eines Glücks» von Sylvie Schenk landet die Schriftstellerin Irène im Spital. Verdacht auf Schlaganfall, bald gibt es Entwarnung, doch Irène bleibt zur Beobachtung. In den langen Tagen erlebt die Schriftstellerin beglückende Begegnungen - mit Pflegenden, einer jungen Zimmernachbarin und einem Mann im Bademantel, dem sie fiktive Liebesbriefe zusteckt. Erinnerungen an ihre Leben, ihre Liebe, das Lesen und Schreiben ergänzen den Alltag. Dieser Roman sei «ein leises Ereignis», sagt Jennifer Khakshouri, «leicht, witzig und philosophisch». Robert Langdon ist zurück. Der Symbolforscher aus «Illuminati» und «Sakrileg» ermittelt in seinem sechsten Fall in Prag und will den Geheimnissen des menschlichen Bewusstseins auf die Spur kommen. Auch in «The Secret of Secrets» setzt Bestseller-Autor Dan Brown auf bewährte Mittel: Grosse Verschwörungen, knifflige Codes, rasante Verfolgungsjagden und viele Leichen. Der neuste Langdon-Krimi ist ein Pageturner sagt Tim Felchlin, aber die bahnbrechenden Entdeckungen der Bewusstseinsforschung entpuppen sich als Dampfplauderei. Buchhinweise: Dan Brown. The Secret of Secrets. Aus dem Englischen von Dietmar Schmidt und Rainer Schumacher. 800 Seiten. Lübbe, 2025. Sylvie Schenk. In Erwartung eines Glücks. 176 Seiten. Hanser Berlin, 2025.

In The Secret of Secrets, Langdon is dragged out of his comfort zone by a noetic scientist and finds reality is much stranger than he once imagined.

Robert Langdon is back in another riveting entry of Dan Brown Mad Libs, and we're unfortunately also back to talk trash about it. You're never gonna guess what happens in this extremely formulaic, long, and boring race against the clock around Prague with another sexy lady scientist and another monstrous assassin and another shadowy organization pulling all the strings. Thought the pseudohistory and blatant misinformation in his other books were bad? Buckle up, because this one is pure pseudoscience, and you're about to hear the words "non-local consciousness" so many times you'll wish you had some non-local unconsciousness. Here's Part I. You'll get Part II next week and wish that you hadn't. Do you hate ads but love this show?

We kick off with the hosts' cheerful greeting and their confession that they recorded the Fully-Booked: Literary Podcast ahead of schedule, joking that it is “the last week of June… but not really.” They remind us that June on Fully-Booked has been all about banned books, and they want to finish with something big.While scanning international censorship lists, Meaghan notices that The Da Vinci Code has been pulled from shelves in Lebanon, India, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, and the Philippines. The reason is simple enough: some Christian leaders find the novel's ideas offensive.Shirin admits she did not realize Lebanon has such a large Christian population, and the pair laugh at their own ignorance before pivoting to the film version they are about to rewatch. They also poke fun at their ongoing knack for picking “the worst movie adaptation possible,” a running joke that keeps listeners feeling part of an inside circle.Revisiting The Da Vinci Code: Book Hype, Film Fever, and Worldwide UproarWe move from playful chit-chat to the cultural moment of 2003, when Dan Brown's novel exploded onto every bookstore display.The hosts recall how the familiar red hardcover stamped with a sliver of the Mona Lisa seemed to stare you down in every airport. Within two years, the book had sold tens of millions of copies, appeared in forty-plus languages, and sparked feverish speculation about secret societies, coded messages, and a hidden bloodline of Christ.And Hollywood pounced. In 2006, Ron Howard delivered a glossy blockbuster starring Tom Hanks, Alfred Molina, Ian McKellen, and Paul Bettany. At the time, Shirin remembers thinking the movie was “the shit,” full of twists that felt like National Treasure with better haircuts.Yet outside a Boston theater on opening night, she saw live protests, something a Canadian teenager did not expect on a school trip. That mash-up of box-office buzz and genuine outrage fascinates the hosts; it proves a thriller can still hit raw nerves when it challenges sacred stories.National Treasure, Nicolas Cage, and Tangents We Can't ResistBecause no Fully-Booked episode is complete without at least one joyful detour, we zoom off to Shirin's devotion to National Treasure.She owns a T-shirt with Nicolas Cage's face, and the declaration “I'm gonna steal the Declaration,” makes her husband watch the film annually and defend its goofy charm at every opportunity.Meaghan, who once watched the movie constantly with her mother, agrees it is “terrible but fun.” Comparing ratings, they discover that Cage's romp actually edges out The Da Vinci Code on Rotten Tomatoes, an outcome they find both hilarious and strangely satisfying.This lighthearted break matters. It shows how personal nostalgia shapes our judgment. Sometimes we cling to a so-so movie because it reminds us of family vacations or Friday sleepovers, not because it is a cinematic masterpiece. We feel that tug, too; I still grin whenever I hear Cage whisper “I'm going to steal it,” and I suspect many listeners have a similar guilty-pleasure favorite.Characters, Plot Holes, and Why the Film Falls FlatBack to business: the hosts dissect why the 2006 adaptation drags. First, length.At two-and-a-half hours, it spread over three separate viewing sessions in Meaghan's living room. Second, plausibility.The victim supposedly staggers through the Louvre after being shot in the gut, leaving a breadcrumb trail of riddles in his own blood, yet still has the mental clarity to craft a sophisticated code. We agree with the hosts that this stretches believability to comic levels; our stomach hurts just imagining the crawl, never mind the cryptography. Third, character depth.In the book, Sophie Neveu is a brilliant police cryptographer; on screen, she turns doe-eyed, waiting for Robert Langdon to solve everything. Tom Hanks, lovable as ever, cannot overcome a script that reduces side characters to exposition machines.It feels as if a longer, richer draft was chopped down by anxious studio editors trying to hit a release date. The result is a movie that teaches the audience how to Google but forgets to give its heroine agency. We nod along when the hosts groan, “This person who's this intelligent would not act like that.”Final Thoughts: Rating Rants, Unfinished Franchises, and What Comes NextWrapping up, the hosts admit they wanted to love the film. They felt a pang of nostalgia, hitting play, wishing the old rush of “twist on every page” would return.Instead, they found themselves pausing for snacks, baby duties, and the occasional disbelief-fuelled rant. Rotten Tomatoes sits at a meager 25 percent critic score, and once the hosts read that aloud, they cannot unsee the flaws.Meanwhile, Angels and Demons and Inferno limp on with the same creative team but never reclaim the lightning in a bottle. Even a short-lived TV spin-off, The Lost Symbol, failed to survive past one season.The conversation closes with laughter, apologies to any die-hard fans, and a promise that Meaghan will choose next month's adaptations more carefully. The bigger takeaway is relatable: we all remember a book or movie that blew our adolescent minds, only to find it wobbly on rewatch.The hosts show us it's okay to change our minds, poke fun at past tastes, and still respect the cultural storm a story once created. As we finish, we feel like we sat on the couch with two friends who love books, love movies, and love cracking jokes about both, exactly the kind of company we crave when the credits roll.

És most egy színházi előadás, amely ugyanúgy képes beszippantani a nézőt, mint egy mozifilm – csak itt minden este másképp történik.De hogyan lehet egy akciódús, titkokkal átszőtt történetet színházi térbe helyezni? Hogyan válik a Louvre, Leonardo da Vinci kódjai és a nagy leleplezés egyetlen térben is átélhetővé? Mit ad hozzá a színész jelenléte, amit sem a könyv, sem a film nem tud megteremteni? És hogyan készül valaki egy olyan karakter megformálására, akit a fél világ ismer? Kulisszatitkok, művészet, izgalom és egy különleges színházi világ – minderről szó esik a beszélgetésben!A Sláger FM-en minden este 22 órakor a kultúráé a főszerep S. Miller András az egyik oldalon, a másikon pedig a térség kiemelkedő színházi kulturális, zenei szcena résztvevői Egy óra Budapest és Pest megye aktuális kult történeteivel.

Beáta Megyesi löser chiffrerade historiska dokument med datorkraft. Vi tar reda på hur hon går till väga och vad de hemliga texterna kan berätta. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I Dan Browns böcker är det professorn Robert Langdon som tolkar tecken och symboler och löser komplicerade historiska chiffer. Verklighetens Robert Langdon heter Beáta Megyesi och arbetar med språk och datorer för att avkoda åldrade dokument skrivna med hemliga tecken. Redan har hon och hennes kollegor löst många chiffer och kunnat blicka in i en väl förborgad värld av hemliga sällskap och spioneri. Urban Björstadius har träffat henne.Vi uppmärksammar också att det gått 75 år sedan senatorn Joseph McCarthy inledde sina anklagelser mot amerikaner för deras påstådda kommunistsympatier. Häxjakten skulle pågå i flera år och prägla det amerikanska samhället, och idag ser historien ut att återupprepa sig.Och så svarar Dick Harrison på en lyssnarfråga om hur länge olika stater spionerat på varandra.Programledare är Tobias Svanelid.

On this week's episode, the guys kick off the discussion with an engaging conversation that had actually begun prior to the recording, focusing on Cody's fascinating journey into the world of the Murderbot Diaries. They explore the intricate themes and character development found in the series, emphasizing their hopes and expectations regarding how the upcoming television adaptation will honor and faithfully represent the rich source material that has captivated readers. The conversation dives deep into the nuances of the original narrative, examining the complexities of the protagonist and the unique blend of humor and existential crisis that defines the series. Following this insightful discussion, Joe takes the spotlight to share exciting details about the newest installment in the Robert Langdon series from the renowned author Dan Brown. He elaborates on the plot, potential themes, and the implications of this new adventure for the beloved character, sparking a lively debate among the group about the evolution of Langdon's character throughout the series. As the episode progresses, Joe reveals some intriguing news about an upcoming film titled Mickey 17, which stars the talented Robert Pattinson. He explains that this film is based on a novel called Mickey7, written by Edward Ashton, and provides a brief overview of the book's premise, highlighting its unique take on science fiction and the moral dilemmas faced by its characters. The guys express their excitement about the film adaptation, discussing what they hope to see on screen and how it might differ from the original text. In a thrilling turn of events, Cody then uncovers an updated list of Stephen King adaptations set to make their debut on both large and small screens over the next year. The group delves into the various projects, analyzing which stories they are most eager to see brought to life and considering how these adaptations might resonate with both long-time fans of King's work and new audiences. They reflect on past adaptations, sharing their thoughts on what has worked well and what has fallen short in translating King's iconic storytelling to film and television. As the conversation unfolds, the enthusiasm in the room is palpable, with each member contributing their insights and opinions, creating a rich tapestry of discussion around literature and its adaptations. However, just as the episode reaches a crescendo of excitement and anticipation, it ends abruptly, leaving listeners on the edge of their seats, eager for the next installment.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

In this episode Chris reunites with good friend of the show--Daniel Torridon of the Onion Unlimited Podcast. We had a blast assuming a Robert Langdon persona and delivering the most epic exploration of religious symbols known to mankind. Enjoy ;)

There doesn't seem to be anything more 1984 than taking what was one of the most popular selling books of the 21st century and printing an alternative text upon its ashes. There is that wonderful moment in Orwell's masterwork that reads "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." Okay, David Shrigley isn't some mastermind of double-think of mind control, but he is a conceptual artist. And this was his concept: after seeing a campaign gone viral where the Oxfam charity shop in Swansea had asked people to please stop bringing their copies of Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" into the shop to resell, Shrigley decided to buy every copy he could of the novel with the purpose of re-printing over it as "1984." The project is called Pulped Fiction. As we noted earlier this week, fragments of the original novels remain on the paper, with letters and sometimes whole words of Robert Langdon's adventures appearing on the pages. The typeface was carefully chosen to mirror the type used for The Da Vinci Code's first edition, while the book's cover has been repurposed from the card backing and dustjackets of more than 1,250 copies of the hardback special edition. On this episode of the Radio Juxtapoz podcast, we sit down with David to discuss Pulped Fiction, the omnipresent shadow that 1984 continues to have on our world, the irony of erasing a text to reprint atop it, the beauty of charity shops and all things happening in the Shrigley world.  The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 124 was recorded on October 25, 2023 in Swansea and Los Angeles. Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@radiojuxtapoz⁠⁠⁠⁠

On this Very Special Episode of the Dan Brown Code, Forrest and Lina are joined by longtime listener (and friend) Chris to discuss chapters 33-42 of The Lost Symbol. Robert Langdon revisits his Batman Origin story, the true finance bro-nature of our villain is revealed, and innuendos abound even in the Year of the Monk.

(Recorded April 2020) We're back, baby! In this ancient episode from early pandemic days, Forrest and Lina explore the (pretty dull) rising action of The Lost Symbol. In this section, Robert Langdon is lost in the flashback sauce (as well as the Sub Basement Basement), Mal'Akh takes advantage of the fact that Katherine does not know her brother, and Dan Brown is bae and on fleek.
