Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert Twigger

Chris and Simon lift the stone on a nest of ancient terrors, with bosom serpents, snakes on tombs and in graves, helpful household ophidians, and the medicinal horrors of Asclepius's temple. ('It did what to you?!') Simon tells of his own blood-chilling encounter with a poisonous hisser, while fake snake women, flying serpents, and the perils of vino alla vipera slither revoltingly into the podcast. The duo bicker over cryptozoological creatures' credibility and ask whether a snake can suckle on a breast or udder: the lap vs suck debate. Also fairies and snakes? Prepare to be amazed amid the Sicilian rosemary. Some biblio:Boss snakes : stories and sightings of giant snakes in North America, Chad ArmentThe bosom serpent : folklore and popular art, Harold SchechterTowards a Critical Anthology of Pre-Modern Bosom Serpent Folklore, Davide Ermacora, Roberto Labanti, Andrea MarconBig Snake  The Hunt for the World's Longest Python, Robert Twigger. https://richlandcountyhistory.com/2019/05/08/the-great-serpent-of-lexington/ [this needs to go up as a separate post on the page - wonderful story!]http://hauntedohiobooks.com/news/creature-feature-the-mexican-mine-monster/Superfluous snakes – snake showers http://hauntedohiobooks.com/interesting-people/11830/A Woman-Eating Serpent: Hissssteria over Snakeshttp://hauntedohiobooks.com/news/woman-eating-serpent-hissssteria-snakes/https://www.the-daily-record.com/story/news/2012/08/19/when-wayne-was-whippersnapper-rogues/19462591007/SNAIX: Vintage Snake Tales http://hauntedohiobooks.com/news/snaix-vintage-snake-tales/For a superlative story of snake-terror, see “The Cat of the Cane-Brake,” by Frederick Stuart Greene.https://www.atlasobscura.com/foods/snake-wine-china-vietnam#:~:text=Although%20this%20concoction%20is%20often,from%20rheumatism%20to%20hair%20loss.https://strongspage.com/places/chester-bedell/ [This and the next one could also be put on the page]https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2010/07/11/mike-harden-commentary-atheist-snakes/23668024007/

Snaking across 4,000 miles and 11 African countries, the River Nile is perhaps the most famous river on planet earth. The 80 billion gallons of water that flow through its banks each day give life to countless animals and ecosystems - from crocodiles and hippos, to rare species of fish, plants, and people. But who has tried to harness the power of this river, and why have so many failed? What cultures have grown from the Nile's waters? And why are emperors, prophets, writers, Kings and Queens, drawn to its famous banks? This is a Short History Of the River Nile. Written by Paul Kerensa.

Today's conversation is with Robert Twigger. Robert is a true polymath who has written novels, poetry, has taught English abroad while learning martial arts, and has been on crazy expeditions all over the world. One of Robert's books "Being a Man in the Lousy Modern World” was originally published in 2002 and there continues to a crisis and evolution of mens' place in the world more than 20 years later. Expect to learn how modern technology can keep us as children for too long, the 4 factors which need to be in place for a man to feel more like a man, how to show courage, the actions Robert has personally taken in his life, and why discussing this is not an attack of females but a drive for a better and happier society overall. Today's podcast is not brought to by one of my usual sponsors. It is by my upcoming Podcast Masterclass Course. Most podcasts fail. 80% stop before hitting episode 8 then hundreds of thousands drop off before episode 24. The odds of a podcast succeeding are low. But that doesn't have to be the case. The benefits and opportunities I've created through podcasting have been incredible whether that's for business, personal brand, and network - building a podcast opens so many doors. Over the last 3 years, I've learnt so much in building a top 1% global podcast. I've distilled all this experience into a simple to follow 9 module video course including equipment and software guides, templates for managing and securing the best guests in your niche, and even my secrets to researching and preparing for interviews. It's due to release in early October but to register your interest early you can DM me the word ‘masterclass' on Instagram or LinkedIn to get access to the early bird discounted offer for the first 50 people to sign up.

This could be the last outside recording of the podcast this year, unless of course this crazy weather continues. We found a spectacular location to record with views of a stunning sunset as we chatted. As ever, you'll have to listen to the podcast to find out where we were, a place so hidden even Glyn didn't know it existed. During our review of the last month in Wiltshire we talked about the walks and blogs that Glyn, Paul and star contributor Elaine Perkins have posted on the Hidden Wiltshire Facebook pages and website. These include a walk undertaken by Elaine in the Nadder Valley taking in Dinton and Compton Chamberlayne; visits to four churches by Paul in search of historic graffiti – the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary Old Dilton, St Mary's Maddington, and the churches of St George and St Mary in Orcheston, each fascinating in their own way; two walks by Paul – one along Maud Heath's Causeway and the other to Marden/Hatfield Henge, the largest henge in the British Isles. And last but not least Glyn's walk which is the main subject of this month's podcast. You'll find links to these blogs below. We also take the opportunity to name check a few people - Adrian the Brush and Ann who Paul and his walking buddy Stu met at the Moravian Church in East Tytherton; Hidden Wiltshire follower Mark Routledge of Gallybagger Learther in Devizes; and someone who has featured several times in the podcast and in blogs – sculpture, poet, wit and raconteur Mark Whelehan for whom Glyn and Paul were asked to write the blurb for the back of his new book of poems. Mark made an appearance in the Folly Wood blog and Paul's photograph of him appears on the back of the book. On the subject of ancient graffiti Tony Hack of the Wiltshire Medieval Graffiti Survey is doing a talk at the Bratton History Association on 18 September 2022. That should be a fascinating talk. You'll find a link to the WMGS website below where it mentions some of the churches we've talked about in our blogs. Finally in terms of links and mentions, Glyn talked about a book by Robert Twigger called Walking the Great North Line: Up England Another Way about the author's walk from Stonehenge to Lindisfarne. Except Glyn could remember neither the name of the author nor the book whilst we were recording! You'll find a link below. Next we have a chat about our secret location for the recording and you'll hear how our minds become increasingly blown by the sunset unfolding before our eyes. So the main topic of this edition of the podcast is a walk Glyn did back in 2019. You'll find his description, route map and YouTube video including his stunning aerial images on the website using the link below. Ludgershall Castle was the starting place for the walk. Dating back to the late 11th century it became a royal hunting lodge which was popular with Henry III who visited it at least 21 times. Collingbourne Wood is a substantial area of woodland and Glyn had it almost to himself during his first walk there and when he re-visited it recently. By following tracks through the wood you can connect with Chute Causeway at Scots Por from where you can drop into Hippenscombe. This is very much a place for peaceful contemplation and it is unusually under-utilised in comparison to Savernake Forest not so far away. Then on to the wrap up for this episode: Steve Dixon's piece leading into our main subject is called “Canopy”.  As ever the piece in the introduction and at the end of the podcast is entitled “The Holloway”. By the way Steve, we're still waiting for the new pieces you promised! The next and final Wiltshire Museum walk for 2022 guided by Hidden Wiltshire is a repeat of the popular Devil's Den walk we did last year. This is a ticket only event and you can get these from the Wiltshire Museum website at Wiltshire Museum Walk Finally, don't forget to check out the Hidden Wiltshire online shop on the website if you'd like to help us keep the lights on.

Kitchen is an enchantingly original book that juxtaposes two tales about mothers, love, tragedy, and the power of the kitchen and home in the lives of a pair of free-spirited young women in contemporary Japan. Mikage, the heroine, is an orphan raised by her grandmother, who has passed away. Grieving, Mikage is taken in by her friend Yoichi and his mother (who is really his cross-dressing father) Eriko. As the three of them form an improvised family that soon weathers its own tragic losses, Yoshimoto spins a lovely, evocative tale with the kitchen and the comforts of home at i....

當你看到朋友在秀玩吉他/變魔術/跳街舞等的時候，是不是覺得他們很酷，很厲害，自己也想學一份才藝呢？那今天的内容你不容錯過，好葉要和大家分享的書叫做《微精通》本書作者-羅伯特•崔格(Robert Twigger),他的經歷十分有趣，平日於牛津大學、P&G、甲骨文（Oracle）、南非米勒（SAB Miller）等各大企業，傳授風險管理、博學主義與領導力。他熱愛冒險，曾在日本武道場生活、駕獨木舟橫渡加拿大西部、在埃及沙漠中旅行，他的人生就是一個微精通。在這裡我就會和大家分享書中的其中三個重點，教你怎樣從微小的一部分，精通每一個你想要學的技能。 第一，先學很酷的事我們很羨慕會說一口流利英語的人，會划獨木舟、能寫有模有樣的詩、畫畫、變魔術、砌牆不會倒的人，也受我們景仰。覺得那些東西很難學，一定得是領域裡很厲害的人才辦得到。每次如果我們有機會學習的時候，總是會瞎忙一通卻沒學到什麼東西。很多人認為要不就從小開始學，也或者要很有天分，不然你就註定不是那一塊的。教學只是一種輔導，要是本身沒天分，再怎麼從旁推一把也沒用。日本人則知道天分的重要性被高估，其實學習態度更重要，也因此他們的教學法會假設每個人都有辦法學,不去管最初的程度。所以他們設...

Carys Davies discusses her transition from short story writer to novelist, muses on how contemporary events influence her work and talks about her latest novel, West, and her upcoming novel,The Mission House. We share an excerpt from our #WigtownWednesday event with explorer poet Robert Twigger, where he muses on the long distance walker's experience of the invisible world alongside the practical necessities of keeping yourself fed and watered.

Emerson famously said "society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members."  My guest today says things have gotten a lot worse since Emerson uttered those words over a century and a half ago. His name is Robert Twigger. We last had him on the show to discuss his book Micromastery. Today we discuss a book he wrote 20 years ago called Being a Man in the Lousy Modern World. We begin our conversation discussing how the modern world infantilizes men so they're easier to control, and whether Robert thinks things have changed since he initially published the book. We then dig into the four factors Robert says need to be in place for a man to feel like a man, and why experiencing these qualities has become harder to do in the present age. We then discuss what Robert did to counter the currents of modern malaise like hiking the Pyrenees mountains and learning a martial art, and whether doing those things actually made him feel manlier. We end our conversation with what men can do to start fighting back against the conspiracy against their manhood. Get the show notes at aom.is/twigger.

Robert Twigger is an author, adventure traveller and apprentice micromaster. His first book, Angry White Pyjamas, about a year spent in a Japanese martial arts dojo, won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award and the Somerset Maugham Award. He has lectured on risk management, polymathics and leadership at Oxford Brookes Business School, Oxford University, the Royal College of Art, and to companies including P&G, Maersk shipping, Oracle computing and SAB Miller. We talk about his new book Micromastery, which is about mastering a small, discrete, learnable chunk of something much bigger and more inchoate. It provides several crucial things: a way into the new subject, a fun bitesized chunk, a model of how to proceed and most importantly- motivational nutrition.

The author Robert Heinlein famously said: “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” Compelling as that sounds, why do so many of us fall short of that kind of ideal, and cease to learn new and different skills in our adulthood? My guest would say it's because we approach learning the wrong way. His name is Robert Twigger, and he's the author of Micromastery: Learn Small, Learn Fast, and Unlock Your Potential to Achieve Anything.  Today on the show, Robert makes the case that we often fail to learn new things because we feel we have to learn the whole field of a subject, which is overwhelming, tedious, and de-motivating. A better approach, he says, is to first master just one distinct skill that's part of said subject, or what he calls a micromastery. We discuss what micromasteries are, why they keep you motivated to continue learning in that field and in general, the benefits of lifelong learning, and why specialization is indeed for insects. We also discuss what the punk rock scene of decades ago can teach you about tackling new skills. We end our conversation with Robert's use of omelette making as a case study in micromastery.

Welcome to the Idries Shah Foundation podcast, practical psychology for today. This weekly podcast features selections from Idries Shah books, as well as original recordings. It has been made available by The Idries Shah Foundation, and is voiced by David Ault. This episode, from our Cultural Crossroads series, features an interview with Dr Wade Davis. During his lifetime Idries Shah promoted contacts and connections between different traditions around the world, believing this to be an important element in the advancement of human culture. In this spirit, The Idries Shah Foundation has created ‘Cultural Crossroads’, a website forum where people from many walks of life are invited to talk about their own experiences crossing cultural boundaries, and the lessons that they have learned as a result. You can find these articles on the ISF blog. This is our first Cultural Crossroads interview for this podcast. About Wade Davis Professor of anthropology Wade Davis is a true polymath who has made substantial contributions in at least four significant areas. Aged only twenty he completed a traverse of the Darien Gap with British explorer Sebastian Snow. He then became an ethnobotanist under the tutelage of Dr Richard Schultes and went on to discover the ‘zombie poison’ used in voodoo rituals in Haiti. This lead him towards anthropology and the study of shamanic practices all over the world. It also led to a Hollywood film based on his exploits in Haiti- the marvellous Serpent and the Rainbow (titled after his own account of his time there). He is an explorer in residence at National Geographic as well as a photographer and documentary film maker. (He is also a qualified river rafting guide). At the same time he has pursued a career as a non-fiction writer on a variety of subjects including an investigation of the 1924 Everest attempt and its links to the collective trauma of WW1. Here Dr Davis talks to Robert Twigger about exploration, the need to take risks in life and a preview of his new fascinating book about Colombia.
