Diverse Voices Book Review guest host Amran Gowani interviewed Dennard Dayle, author of the Civil War satire HOW TO DODGE A CANNONBALL. The story follows Anders, a White teenage flag twirler whose madcap journey finds him fighting for both armies, claiming to be an octoroon, escaping certain death far too many times, and examining the unresolved hypocrisies at the heart of America's foundation. During the interview, Dayle discussed why he chose to satirize the Civil War, the historical parallels between the 1860s and present-day America, and his love for CATCH-22, a novel which has heavily influenced his creative work. Dennard Dayle is a Jamaican American novelist, satirist, and prankster who lives in Brooklyn, New York. His short fiction has appeared in the New Yorker, Clarkesworld, and McSweeney's Internet Tendency, and his short story collection EVERYTHING ABRIDGED was published in 2022. Dennard is a graduate of Princeton University and received his MFA at Columbia University, where he teaches as an adjunct professor.Diverse Voices Book Review Social Media:Facebook - @diversevoicesbookreviewInstagram - @diverse_voices_book_reviewEmail: hbh@diversevoicesbookreview.com

In deze donkere dagen voelt het wereldnieuws als een hardnekkige winterverkoudheid. Daarom spreekt Bureau Buitenland met onze correspondenten in geopolitieke brandhaarden over verhalen die verwarmen. We brengen de broodnodige vitaminen om zo de koortsachtige situatie in de wereld even te verlichten. Vandaag trappen we af in Syrië met een zeer krachtig medicijn: humor. Hoe lachen Syriërs zich door jaren van oorlog en trauma heen? We vragen het Volkskrant-correspondent Jenne Jan Holtland. Presentatie: Laila Frank
"Der Herr Röntgen war ein leidenschaftlicher Türensammler." Von Tobias Brodowy.
Was für ein fantastisches Filmjahr, sind sich Pia Reiser und Christian Fuchs einig. Intensiv, aufwühlend, beängstigend, subversiv, euphorisierend ging es heuer im Kino zu. Und teilweise auch im Streamingbereich. Vorhang auf also für einen schwärmerischen Rückblick zwischen klugen Blockbustern und ambitioniertem Arthouse-Kino. Schwerpunkte widmen sich Horror-Höhepunkten wie "Weapons", "Sinners" oder "28 Years Later", politischer Satire made in Hollywood ("One Battle After Another", Eddington" "Bugonia") und neuen aufregenden Stimmen im österreichischen Film. Aber auch Comickino, epische Melodramen und tragische Romanzen haben in dieser übervollen Episode Platz. Sendungshinweis: FM4 Film Podcast, 22.12.2025, 0 Uhr

On December 18, 1679, England's leading poet, John Dryden, was attacked and beaten in a dark Covent Garden alley outside the Lamb, the area's oldest pub. The motive was literary. Dryden was wrongly suspected of having written An Essay on Satire, a venomous anonymous poem that skewered the corruption of the Restoration court and appeared to take aim at the Earl of Rochester. The real author was an aristocrat safely protected by rank, but Dryden, a professional writer, paid the price. This piece revisits a story previously told on the London Walks podcast, but from a new angle, exploring how satire worked in Restoration London, why certain lines were dangerous enough to provoke violence, and how words once carried consequences measured in bruises and broken skin.

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Johnny Hilbrant—SoulCycle instructor turned viral sensation, also known as "PE Guy." From his roots riding and teaching at Soul in Chicago and Boston, Johnny talks about his journey from fitness enthusiast to comedic creator, blending his knack for improv and sharp observational humor to lampoon a familiar character . . . the "private equity bro" you inevitably get cornered by at a wedding or some other event. The conversation gets into how Johnny developed his PE Guy persona, why the character resonates so widely (with both chuckling fans and the occasional real-life PE pro who's less amused), and how he manages authenticity even as brand partnerships and cameo requests start rolling in. Along the way, Johnny and Pete also discuss the importance of self-awareness, the ability to laugh at yourself, and the line between satire and selling out. Whether you're in the PE world, the HALO sector (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoor), or just love a good roast, this episode is packed with insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and plenty of laughs. On the private equity lifestyle Hilbrant states, "Some of these folks seem to be a little bit . . . haphazard, like a runaway train, because they're among other people who are buying watches and flying privately." Key themes discussed SoulCycle instructor journey and community. Industry changes and business model evolution. Creation and popularity of "PE Guy" character. Satire of private equity culture. Audience feedback and handling criticism. Brand partnerships and authenticity challenges. Creative process behind viral content. A Few Key Takeaways: 1.Journey Into SoulCycle & Fitness Industry Johnny shared how he began his SoulCycle journey in Chicago while searching for his next career move. After auditioning with 60 others and being one of only two selected, he trained with Soul before relocating to Boston, where he found both community and success as an instructor. 2. Evolution of SoulCycle Culture: The conversation also touched on the shifts in SoulCycle's energy and market position over the years. Hilbrandt acknowledged changes due to increased competition and tweaks to the business model, but emphasized that the unique, immersive studio experience and community still remain, even if the industry's "buzz" has faded a bit. 3. Viral Creation of "PE Guy": The "PE Guy" character began as a playful exaggeration of a certain type you meet at weddings—someone who talks at you endlessly. He used a filter to bring this persona to life, and after giving the character a private equity job, the videos quickly went viral. He credits the rapid rise to relatable satire and people recognizing the archetype. 4. Reception of Satire—Mostly Positive, Rare Backlash: Most of the audience, even those in private equity, really appreciate Hilbrandt's satire. He's largely received positive feedback, with a few exceptions (such as one in-person encounter with a Bain professional who took it personally.) He noted the importance of self-awareness and being able to laugh at oneself, a skill he thinks can foster humility and potentially even positive changes in the finance industry. 5. Creative Process & Brand Partnerships: Hilbrandt described his creative process as a mix of structured and spontaneous inspiration—sometimes scripting out ideas, other times improvising based on something he sees or hears. The success of "PE Guy" has led to lucrative partnerships, especially with B2B and tech brands, though luxury brands are often hesitant to be self-deprecating. He's committed to maintaining authenticity and resisting "selling out," balancing brand deals with staying true to the character's comedic roots.
