Adventure in raising kids today, (2) the origin and theory behind his beautifully warm opening paragraph, and (3) his love/hate relationship with being compared to that other writer of precocious New York City kids, J.D. Salinger. Order Mark's novel Bunyan and Henry. All episodes of The Thoughtful Bro aired live originally on A Mighty Blaze. The Thoughtful Bro is proudly sponsored by Libro.fm and Writer's Bone.

Anfang des Jahres erschien die Netflix-Serie "Adolescence" – ein Fernsehdrama, das auch reale gesellschaftliche Probleme aufgegriffen hat. Die von der Kritik hochgelobte vierteilige Serie hat sich zu einem kulturellen Phänomen entwickelt.  In unserer Diskussionsrunde schildert das Spotlight-Team heute seine Eindrücke von "Adolescence". Inez Sharp und Nadia Lawrence aus England, Mae McCreary aus den USA und Owen Connors aus Irland sprechen über den erschreckenden Anstieg der Incel-Kultur, den Stress und Druck, mit dem Teenager und junge Menschen im Internet umgehen müssen, und die unglaubliche Leistung der Schauspieler und Autoren der Serie "Adolescence", die uns all dies eindrücklich vor Augen führen.   Unser Buchtipp ist "Der Fänger im Roggen" von J. D. Salinger, ein Klassiker über die Teenagerangst einer anderen Generation. Der Roman feiert dieses Jahr sein 80. Jubiläum. Das Magazin Spotlight können Sie hier bestellen. Als Dankeschön erhalten alle Podcast-Hörer die erste Ausgabe des Abonnements kostenlos.   [ANZEIGE] Mehr hören?

Welcome to Parsha and Prose, where Rabbi Shlomo Gemara and I weave the Torah's timeless wisdom with the insights of great literature. This week, we're diving into the double Torah portion Acharei Mot-Kedoshim (Leviticus 16:1–20:27), which grapples with the aftermath of Nadav and Avihu's deaths, the Yom Kippur atonement rituals, and a call to holiness through ethical and ritual laws. Through the lens of J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, we explore how Holden Caulfield's restless quest for authenticity and his struggle with a “phony” world mirrors the Torah's demand for genuine connection to God and others. Just as Acharei Mot seeks purification after loss and Kedoshim urges us to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18), Holden's yearning to protect innocence and find truth reflects a search for meaning in a fractured society. Join us as we uncover how these texts challenge us to confront our flaws, embrace sincerity, and build a life of purpose amidst chaos.

Bu bölümde Topluma Uymama Cesaretini konuşuyoruz. Konuğumuz Seymour Glass. J.D. Salinger'ın topluma uymayan karakterlerinden biri. Bu bölümle giderek tutunmaya bir adım yaklaşıyor muyuz, yoksa tutunacak her şeyi çürütüp, tuttuklarımızın yanılgısıyla yüzleşip özgürleşiyor muyuz, bunu bilemiyoruz ama yoldayız, bakalım yol bizi ve sizleri nereye götürecek.  Seymour'dan ve podcastimizden bir alıntı ile sizi bölüm dinlemeye davet ediyoruz. "Topluma uymama cesareti göstermek her zaman yalnızlığı da getirir. En çok zorlanacağım şey, insanların beni yine yanlış anlaması olurdu. Herkes bir cevaba, bir tanıma ihtiyaç duyuyor. Oysa ben tanımlanmaktan hep kaçtım." Bölüm görseli, yapay zeka tarafından oluşturulan bir Seymour Glass portresinden tasarlandı.

La cultura pop es una máquina de nostalgia, pero también un espejo oscuro donde generaciones enteras se han buscado sin terminar de encontrarse. Entre discos de vinilo, bares con humo y novelas de estantería torcida, los años 80 y 90 dejaron un legado de épica cotidiana y rebeldía sin manifiesto. Ahí, donde se cruzan Salinger y Urquijo, donde un 'riff' de Radio Futura puede ser tan revelador como una frase de Bukowski, floreció un malditismo castizo, una forma de estar fuera de lugar con estilo. Hoy exploramos ese territorio: el de la literatura popular como mapa sentimental, el de la Movida como escenario de iniciación, el de la música como refugio de los raros. Porque hablar de cultura no es disecarla, sino revivirla en sus contradicciones, en sus luces de neón, en su tristeza brillante. Como escribió Esperanza Ruiz sobre la obra de nuestro invitado, “la narración entera es un 'spoiler' de sus vidas, de lo que ustedes, si no lo son ya, serán. No de lo que fueron. Porque si no descubrieron a los veinte que nada iba a llenar sus vidas, lo descubrirán a los cuarenta.”. Nos acompaña Kiko Méndez-Monasterio, periodista y escritor, autor de "La calle de la luna" (https://librosobrelibro.com/resenas/la-calle-de-la-luna/), una novela que narra el despertar sentimental y cultural de un joven en el Madrid de los noventa. Con él hablaremos de literatura, de El guardián entre el centeno, de lo popular como alta cultura, de los cantautores eléctricos, y de todo eso que no cabe en los planes de estudio pero que termina formando la educación sentimental de una generación.

https://Art2Life.com - This week, I'm exploring the three primary fears that creatives often grapple with: the fear of failure, the fear of what others will think, and, intriguingly, the fear of success.  I'm sharing how these fears manifested in my life as I transitioned from a commercial illustrator to a fine artist. A period of personal upheaval and the loss of all my work became a catalyst for profound transformation, leading to the birth of Art2Life and my path as a coach and fine artist.  Let go of old mindsets, embrace change, and learn more about art's vital role in this alchemical process of self-discovery and success. Art is not just a product—it's a transformative journey back to your authentic self. So take small steps, play, and keep your vision alive. Whether you're creatively curious or already an experienced artist, this episode will give you some practical steps to help you move past your fears and toward the creative life you're looking for. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… (0:00) Why the fear of success hinders personal growth  (5:41) Making art helped me overcome depression and marked the start of my fine art career  (8:03) Fear of success can secretly hold you back  (13:57) Overcoming the struggle of imposter syndrome (20:18) Immerse yourself in environments that align with your passions  (24:14) Address your underlying beliefs and fears from childhood  (28:13) Laughing at adversity is powerful; try not to take life too seriously  (29:11) Playing and creating art fosters self-realization, success, and transformation  ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Kurt Cobain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Cobain Catcher in the Rye by J.D.

In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, we explore the hidden layers of The Catcher in the Rye with special guest William Ramsey. More than just a coming-of-age novel, this book has been linked to infamous assassins like Mark David Chapman, John Hinckley Jr., and Robert Bardo, raising questions about its deeper psychological and cultural impact. Ramsey delves into J.D. Salinger's intelligence background, the book's pervasive themes of hypnotism, depersonalization, and nihilism, and its possible connections to MKUltra mind control experiments. We examine how Catcher in the Rye may have been used as a psychological trigger, influencing individuals in ways far beyond literary appreciation. From Holden Caulfield's erratic thoughts to the novel's ties to Hollywood and subliminal messaging, this discussion uncovers unsettling aspects of a book widely distributed in public schools. Join us as we dissect the possibility of Catcher in the Rye as a tool of manipulation, exploring the blurred lines between fiction, psychological conditioning, and real-world events.FOLLOW WILLIAM RAMSEY:William Ramsey Investigates - Books, Documentaries, PodcastsJOIN THE PATREON FOR AD FREE EPISODES BEFORE THEY DROP AND BECOME PART OF THE GROWING COMMUNITY OF DANGEROUS RTRDs ON TELEGRAM:https://www.patreon.com/NephilimDeathSquadFIND US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:NEPHILIM DEATH SQUAD:Nephilim Death Squad | ALL LINKSNephilimDSquad@Gmail.comX Community: Nephilim WatchTOPLOBSTA:(@TopLobsta) / X(@TopLobsta) / InstagramTopLobsta.com / MerchRAVEN: (@DavidLCorbo) / X(@ravenofnds) / InstagramWEBSITES:Nephilim Death Squad | Merchnephilimdeathsquad.com OUR SPONSORS:15% OFFRife Technology – Real Rife TechnologyPROMO CODE : NEPHILIM FOR 10% OFFParasiteMovie.com - Parasite Cleanse and Detox – Parasite MoviePROMO CODE: NEPHILIM 10% OFFEmergency Survival Food, Seed, & Supplies | Heaven's Harvest – Heaven's Harvest StorePROMO CODE: NEPHILIM 5% OFFBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad--6389018/support.

2017. Sally Rooney publie son premier roman à seulement 26 ans. "Conversation entre amis", c'est le titre de ce texte qu'elle dit avoir écrit très vite : 100 000 mots en trois mois. Le livre rencontre un succès fracassant. Tout le monde parle de cette jeune irlandaise qui raconte les millenials comme personne. On la surnomme la "Salinger de la génération snapchat". Rooney décrit les sentiments amoureux, les errances identitaires. C'est dire si son deuxième roman, "Normal People" est attendu quand il sort en librairie, en 2018. Là encore, il fait mouche. Les sentiments et les relations y sont de nouveau disséqués avec finesse et réalisme. "Normal People" reçoit le prix du roman de l'année de l'Irish Book Award et du Costa Book Award. Et c'est décidé, le livre fera l'objet d'une adaptation par la BBC. Ce sera une mini-série : 12 épisodes de 30 min. Sally Rooney écrit les 6 premiers épisodes. Des personnages qui gagnent en profondeur au fil des épisodes L'esthétique de la série est douce. Il y a des couleurs pastels, de jolies lumières, des ciels pluvieux et l'océan. Il y a ces personnages, Marianne et Connell, dont les personnalités gagnent en profondeur au fil des épisodes. La série est à l'image des livres de Sally Rooney : à la fois romanesque et ultra réaliste. Tout sonne juste, des dialogues aux scènes les plus intimes. Normal People raconte l'intime, mais aussi, inévitablement, les maux du monde qui nous entoure. Le poids de la société patriarcale, les failles des masculinités. Les rapports de classes, et les souffrances psychologiques. Mais aussi les histoires d'amour... Un podcast Bababam Originals.

Take funny music seriously! Though often dismissed as silly or derivative, funny music, Lily E. Hirsch argues, is incredibly creative and dynamic, serving multiple aims from the celebratory to the rebellious, the entertaining to the mentally uplifting. Music can be a rich site for humor, with so many opportunities that are ripe for a comedic left turn. Taking Funny Music Seriously (Indiana UP, 2024) includes original interviews with some of the best musical humorists, such as Tom Lehrer, "the J. D. Salinger of musical satire"; Peter Schickele, who performed as the invented composer P. D. Q. Bach, the supposed lost son of the great J. S. Bach; Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome of the funny music duo Garfunkel and Oates; comedic film composer Theodore Shapiro; Too Slim of the country group Riders in the Sky; and musical comedian Jessica McKenna, from the podcast Off Book, part of a long line of "funny girls." With their help, Taking Funny Music Seriously examines comedy from a variety of genres and musical contexts--from bad singing to rap, classical music to country, Broadway music to film music, and even love songs and songs about death. In its coverage of comedic musical media, Taking Funny Music Seriously is an accessible and lively look at funny music. It offers us a chance to appreciate more fully the joke in music and the benefits of getting that joke--especially in times of crisis--including comfort, catharsis, and connection. Lily E. Hirsch is a musicologist and author most recently of Can't Stop the Grrrls: Confronting Sexist Labels in Music from Ariana Grande to Yoko Ono; Weird Al: Seriously; and Insulting Music: A Lexicon of Insult in Music.

Take funny music seriously! Though often dismissed as silly or derivative, funny music, Lily E. Hirsch argues, is incredibly creative and dynamic, serving multiple aims from the celebratory to the rebellious, the entertaining to the mentally uplifting. Music can be a rich site for humor, with so many opportunities that are ripe for a comedic left turn. Taking Funny Music Seriously (Indiana UP, 2024) includes original interviews with some of the best musical humorists, such as Tom Lehrer, "the J. D. Salinger of musical satire"; Peter Schickele, who performed as the invented composer P. D. Q. Bach, the supposed lost son of the great J. S. Bach; Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome of the funny music duo Garfunkel and Oates; comedic film composer Theodore Shapiro; Too Slim of the country group Riders in the Sky; and musical comedian Jessica McKenna, from the podcast Off Book, part of a long line of "funny girls." With their help, Taking Funny Music Seriously examines comedy from a variety of genres and musical contexts--from bad singing to rap, classical music to country, Broadway music to film music, and even love songs and songs about death. In its coverage of comedic musical media, Taking Funny Music Seriously is an accessible and lively look at funny music. It offers us a chance to appreciate more fully the joke in music and the benefits of getting that joke--especially in times of crisis--including comfort, catharsis, and connection. Lily E. Hirsch is a musicologist and author most recently of Can't Stop the Grrrls: Confronting Sexist Labels in Music from Ariana Grande to Yoko Ono; Weird Al: Seriously; and Insulting Music: A Lexicon of Insult in Music.

He's best known as the author of The Catcher in the Rye, one of the great publishing and cultural successes of the twentieth century. But there was more to the Jerome David Salinger (1919-2010) story than a single book. In this episode, Jacke takes a look at Salinger's childhood and education, his youthful romance thwarted by an unlikely turn of events, his war and postwar experiences as a soldier and special intelligence investigator, his flurry of almost unbelievable success as a writer, and his years of self-imposed seclusion. PLUS an excerpt from the little-known story that first featured Holden Caulfield's first-person voice.

Salinger, the irony of winning the Women's Prize for Fiction, and her latest "The Unfolding." A.M.

Her last novel, May We Be Forgiven, was the winner of the 2013 Women's Prize for Fiction. Her latest novel is The Unfolding, described as a "... darkly comedic alternative history that takes us into the heart of a fractured family living in a divided country." New York Times bestselling author Salman Rushdie called the book, “A terrific black comedy, written almost entirely in pitch-perfect dialogue, that feels terrifyingly close to the unfunny truth.” A.M. Homes was a Co-Executive Producer and Writer on David E. Kelly and Stephen King's, Mr. Mercedes, and a writer/producer of the Showtime series The L Word. Her work has been translated into 22 languages and appears frequently in Art Forum, Harpers, Granta, McSweeney's, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and Zoetrope.
