In the spring of 2022, Jacke dropped everything to plummet into one of the strangest poems he had ever read, "Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894). The result was a two-part episode that never quite found its home. In this special Halloween episode, we've combined the best parts of both of those episodes to bring you the full story of an idiosyncratic Victorian poet and her bizarre tale of two sisters seduced by the fruits being sold by a pack of river goblins.

The year is 1816, and 18-year-old Mary Shelley has fled London with her lover, Percy Shelley, and her sister, Claire. They're on their way to visit Lord Byron's villa in Lake Geneva, Switzerland - and to change the course of literary history. In this episode, Jacke talks to Caroline Lea about her novel Love, Sex, and Frankenstein, which tells the haunting, evocative story of the summer that should have broken Mary Shelley, but instead inspired her to write her Gothic masterpiece. PLUS we hear from a listener who's been reading with her children and has a recommendation for Jacke, we cover #10 on our list of Greatest Books of All Time, and Geoffrey Turnovsky (Reading Typographically: Immersed in Print in Early Modern France) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.

Do you like getting emails on a predictable schedule and not any time a user decides to fill out your form? If so, you might want to check out Webform Scheduled Tasks Module name/project names Webform Scheduled Tasks Brief history Created by mattgill on 22 November 2017 It has a 3.0-rc1 release available with Drupal 10 compatibility and is awaiting review of it's automated D11 fixes. Maintainership Its last release was in November 2023, but just a month ago I helped get Sean Dietrich approved as a new maintainer, so I'm hoping for a new release in the near future. It has security coverage. Tests exist to test the full functionality of the module and they are passing. There is no standalone documentation, although a README is RTBC'ed. That said, the module page has a straightforward description of what the module does and how to use it, and getting it up and running is very straightforward. Number of open issues: 24 open issues, only 1 of which is a bug against the current branch. I'll also note there are 8 issues that are RTBC, so we should be seeing some fixes forthcoming. Usage stats: 817 sites Module features and usage Once you enable the module, Webforms will have an additional “Scheduled tasks” configuration screen. You can create a task to email all results or just the results since the last export. Once you enable a scheduled task, you can set a number of options: its next scheduled run and the run interval (in hours, days, weeks, etc) where to email the results, in what format (JSON or CSV), whether to delete submissions after they're sent There's also a RTBC patch to allow you to configure file names to include date-time of export, which can help the recipients keep track of the exports. After that, you just sit and wait for cron to do its thing.

Clarke County, Virginia, comes alive each fall with vibrant colors, bustling events, and a deep sense of community. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Nathan Stalvey, Executive Director of the Clarke County Historical Association, for an engaging conversation that highlights the county's rich heritage and the many ways residents and visitors can connect with its past. Inspiring Young Historians To begin, Nathan shares the excitement of hosting field trips for local fourth graders. These immersive experiences at the Burwell-Morgan Mill, Claremont Farm, and the Josephine School Community Museum allow students to see history come alive beyond textbooks. As Nathan notes, witnessing the curiosity and enthusiasm of children as they interact with historical artifacts and demonstrations is both rewarding and essential for fostering a lifelong appreciation of history. Art at the Mill: A Creative Tradition Transitioning from education to the arts, Janet and Nathan discuss the recent success of the annual Art at the Mill event. This juried art show not only showcases the incredible talent of regional artists but also supports CCHA's mission. With strong sales and community participation, the event continues to be a highlight of the fall season, reinforcing the importance of creativity in preserving and celebrating local culture. Heritage Day: Living History for All Ages Looking ahead, Nathan enthusiastically promotes the upcoming Heritage Day, CCHA's largest history program of the year. Scheduled at the Burwell-Morgan Mill, this free event features reenactors, blacksmith demonstrations, colonial cooking, and hands-on activities for children. Heritage Day offers families a unique opportunity to experience living history, interact with experts from various historical periods, and gain a deeper understanding of the county's diverse past. A New Exhibit: The Spanish Flu in Clarke County Moreover, the conversation turns to CCHA's latest exhibit, which examines the impact of the Spanish Flu pandemic on Clarke County. Curated by Dana Getka, the exhibit takes a personal and artistic approach, highlighting the stories of those who lost their lives and providing a human face to a significant but often overlooked chapter in local history. Complementing the exhibit, a book read-along event invites the community to further explore this poignant topic. Supporting Local History: The Power of Community Giving As the year draws to a close, Nathan emphasizes the critical role of community support and annual giving. Donations, whether large or small, help sustain CCHA's programs, maintain archives, and ensure that Clarke County's history remains accessible for generations to come. The conversation also touches on the many ways individuals can contribute, from volunteering and financial gifts to donating relevant historical artifacts. A Lasting Invitation In conclusion, Janet and Nathan encourage listeners to visit the Clarke County History Center & Archives, participate in upcoming events, and discover the stories that make the county unique. With a calendar full of engaging programs and a passionate team at the helm, Clarke County continues to celebrate its heritage while inviting everyone to be a part of its living history.

In 1945, the Nobel Committee awarded its prize for literature to Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) "for her lyric poetry which, inspired by powerful emotions, has made her name a symbol of the idealistic aspirations of the entire Latin American world." Born in a rural Andean valley and abandoned by her free-spirited father at the age of three, Mistral struggled for the right to be a teacher - and then went on to help reform the Chilean educational system to improve the lives of women and the impoverished. After experiencing heartbreak and several tragedies, her poetry collection Desolación ("Desolation" or "Despair") (1922) made her one of Latin America's most revered writers. In this episode, Jacke looks at the life and works of this remarkable poet, whose constant search for truths in nature and humanity informed a body of work that continues to delight and inspire.

In this new episode Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna are joined by Joseph Scott Morgan of Body Bags to discuss this wild incident in true crime media. In March of 2024, the media began to report on the strange discovery of bodies found in multiple locations over a time-frame of less than a week in the New England region. Almost immediately, social media began to ask the question, “Is there an active serial killer terrorizing the citizens of New England?” Over the subsequent weeks, several more bodies were discovered and despite numerous sources and law enforcement insisting there was nothing connecting these individuals, the hornet's nest had been kicked. So is there a serial killer operating in New England? Is social media right for capitalizing on these tragic events? Whose truth does true crime convey?

As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, Winchester's Jim Barnett Park becomes a hub of activity, welcoming families and residents from across the region. In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael sat down with Chris Konyar, Winchester City Parks Director, to explore the vibrant lineup of fall and winter events, new amenities, and the enduring community spirit that defines the city's Parks and Recreation Department. A Season of Festivities The conversation kicks off with a preview of the much-anticipated Spooky Fun event, a Halloween celebration that has quickly become a local favorite. Scheduled for October 17th, the event transforms the Parks and Rec Center into a festive wonderland, complete with trick-or-treating, a “touch a truck” experience featuring fire engines and police cars, music, costumes, and the ever-popular “boo bundle” s'mores by the fire pit. This year, a new Spooky Trolley Trail adds to the excitement, offering families a guided tour through creatively decorated scenes in the park. The fun doesn't stop there. The following Friday, October 24th, brings the Boo Bounce Bash, where the gym is filled with giant inflatables, games, and refreshments. “If you want to wear out your child and guarantee a good night's sleep, this is the event for you,” Chris jokes, noting that the event's popularity keeps families coming back year after year. Kicking Off the Holidays No sooner does Halloween wrap up than the city gears up for its annual Christmas parade, traditionally held the Monday after Thanksgiving. Janet and Chris discuss the logistics and traditions behind the parade, from the limited number of entries to the grand finale tree lighting in Old Town Winchester. The parade, which draws crowds from across the area, is a cherished kickoff to the holiday season, complete with Santa Claus and dazzling decorations. Programs for All Ages Beyond seasonal events, Winchester Parks & Rec offers a robust slate of ongoing programs. “Wee Ones Wednesday” provides preschoolers with a safe, active space to play, socialize, and participate in crafts and story time. The program's popularity has led to expanded sessions, ensuring more families can take part. Youth sports are another cornerstone, with basketball leagues for children ages five to fourteen and swim lessons in the indoor pool. Chris emphasizes the importance of early participation, not just for skill-building but for fostering teamwork and confidence. The department's inclusive approach means that both city residents and non-residents are welcome, with only minor differences in program fees. New Amenities and Improvements The conversation also highlights recent upgrades and additions to the park. A state-of-the-art golf simulator now allows golfers to practice and play virtual rounds year-round, regardless of weather. The park has also seen infrastructure improvements, including new restrooms, fencing, and dugouts at the Handley softball field, as well as enhanced lighting for safety and evening events. A Regional Destination Janet and Chris are quick to point out that Jim Barnett Park is more than just a city park—it's a regional destination. With amenities like the indoor pool, diverse programming, and a welcoming atmosphere, the park attracts visitors from neighboring counties and even West Virginia. The department's monthly newsletter keeps the community informed about upcoming events, registration deadlines, and new offerings. Building Community, One Event at a Time Throughout the conversation, a common theme emerges: Winchester Parks & Rec is dedicated to building community and creating lasting memories for families. Whether it's through festive events, youth programs, or new facilities, the department's efforts ensure that everyone—regardless of age or background—can find something to enjoy. As the episode wraps up, Janet thanks Chris for his time and enthusiasm, eager to check out the new golf simulator herself. With a full calendar of activities and a commitment to continuous improvement, Winchester's parks are poised to remain a beloved gathering place for years to come.
Thanks to his invention of Europe's first typographic printing method, and his pioneering work on the first printed Bible, the fifteenth-century German inventor Johannes Gutenberg has a fame and reputation that continues to this day. In 1997, Time magazine credited him with the most important innovation of the past one thousand years. However, due to scant and vague documentation, Gutenberg's actual life and career have been clouded in myth and speculation. In this episode, Jacke talks to scholar Eric Marshall White about his new book, Johannes Gutenberg: A Biography in Books, which seeks to correct the record by analyzing Gutenberg and the books that remain his lasting monument. PLUS HOL pays tribute to Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov's beautifully told tale of a dark and ugly obsession (and #14 on the list of the Greatest Books of All Time), by repeating excerpts from three previous interviews, in which Jenny Minton Quigley, Jim Shepard, and Joshua Ferris talk about Nabokov and his highly controversial novel.

Emily Brontë only published one full-length book before dying at the tragically young age of 30. But that book, Wuthering Heights, which tells the story of obsessive and vengeful love on the rugged moors of Yorkshire, is still considered one of the pinnacles of English literature, landing at #15 on the list of Greatest Books of All Time. In this episode, Jacke takes a deep look into Emily Brontë's classic "bad boy" novel, with assistance from Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Hardwick, Joyce Carol Oates, Anne Tyler, Alice Hoffman, Charlotte Brontë, and others.

The Asia Cup has never been straightforward. Scheduled every two years, it often slips away — undone by border tensions and government quarrels. This year, despite tensions between India and Pakistan, the tournament managed to be held.The young Indian team, missing the usual veterans, went unbeaten. Pakistan made the final a nail-biting contest: a reminder of why this rivalry endures and is eagerly awaited by people of two countries that were once one.Sadly, the clashes between these famed rivals were overshadowed by fighter-plane gestures and snubbed handshakes. India lifted nothing but an imaginary trophy. They had won every match but refused the silverware from the Pakistani head of the Asian Cricket Council. Why do the shadows of politics so often creep onto a field made for sport? To make sense of this, we turn to KC Vijaya Kumar, Sports Editor of The Hindu, who has spent decades tracing this much-cherished rivalry on the pitch and behind the scenes. Guest: KC Vijaya Kumar, Sports Editor, The Hindu Host: Anupama Chandrasekaran Edited and produced by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Jane Austen had six brothers, but her older brother Henry was her favorite. Kind and witty, Henry has long been appreciated by Austen fans for his devotion to Jane and his championing of her novels. But Henry was a fascinating figure in his own right, capering through risky financial schemes and marrying an enigmatic French countess before ending his days as a hard-working curate. Highly successful at times and nearly bankrupt at others, Henry's colorful and turbulent life helps us better understand Jane's life and works. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Christopher Herbert about his new book, Jane Austen's Favourite Brother, Henry, which tells the illuminating and inspiring story of a special sibling relationship. PLUS Jacke shares a letter from a 22-year-old Australian reading his way through Europe.

Dr. Jenn Kennedy and Dr. Rob continue their conversation about finding satisfaction and intimacy after 50. They consider what it means to truly become a better person and partner, to evolve beyond betrayal toward empathy and intimacy.

RESOURCES: Sex and Relationship Healing @RobWeissMSW Sex Addiction 101 Seeking Integrity Free Sexual Addiction Screening Assessment Partner Sexuality Survey Dr. Jenn Kennedy Seeking Integrity Podcasts are produced in partnership with Podfly Productions. QUOTES: ● “The breakdown in intimacy after infidelity is real.” ● “If the addict doesn't start to actually change and show some progress, their sex life probably isn't going to change either.” ● “Wherever you place your focus, growth will occur.” ● “You can have great intimacy and not have sex.”
