One True Podcast would never let 2025 end without one more episode celebrating the centenary of In Our Time, so today we discuss a classic short story from that collection: “The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife.”Scholar (and podcaster) Scott Yarbrough visits us from Charleston to lead us through the many elements of this great story: Dr. Adams's quarrel with Dick Boulton, the doctor's icy relationship with his wife, and finally his moment of connection with his son. Along the way, we touch on the ethics of log stealing, the implications of Christian Scientism, Hemingway's captivating early prose style, Nick's role in the narrative, and whether or not this story qualifies as one of Hemingway's “greatest hits.”Join us for a trip into the Michigan woods and a guided tour through “The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife.” We know where there's black squirrels!

Galahad and the Grail is Book 1 of Merlin’s Isle, Malcolm Guite’s retelling of the King Arthur legends in ballad form. It releases in March of 2026. In the prelude to Galahad and the Grail, a voice shimmering in the morning air says: Poet, take up the tale–Take up the tale the land still keeps,In earth and water magic sleeps,The dryad sighs, the naiad weeps,But you can lift the veil. Malcolm has taken up a very old tale and lifted the veil on stories that have lingered in the traditions of the British Isles longer than the English language itself. Scholar and teacher Junius Johnson is taking up the tale in another way. Starting in January 2026, Junius is teaching a 20-week online class on the King Arthur legend. He describes the class as a chance to see for yourself why this story has fascinated the imagination for so many centuries. In this episode, Malcolm, Junius talk with Jonathan Rogers about how King Arthur rode into their lives, and what these stories have meant to them.

In this deeply moving Rise & Shine episode, Adrienne Gold Davis sits down with Dr. Zohar Raviv, internationally recognized Jewish thought leader, educator, and Momentum's Scholar in Residence, for a powerful exploration of Israel's place in the Jewish story. Together, they illuminate the five landscapes through which Jews have understood Israel for thousands of years: the imagined, covenantal, remembered, lived, and envisioned land. Dr. Raviv shares why Israel is not a project of survival, but a project of revival, and how Jewish mothers play a central role in carrying this story forward. Rooted in warmth, depth, and clarity, this conversation invites each of us to see our connection to Israel not only through history, but through identity, responsibility, and love.

On this day in Tudor history, 27 November 1556, Henry Parker, 10th Baron Morley, died quietly at his estate in Essex. He was a nobleman, diplomat, scholar… and the father of the famous (and infamous) Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford. Morley's life spanned the rise of the Tudor dynasty, and he moved through it with skill: from a childhood in Lady Margaret Beaufort's household, to service under Henry VIII, to presenting beautifully translated books to the Tudor monarchs themselves. He mixed with the powerful, gifted Machiavelli to Cromwell, survived dangerous political tides, and watched tragedy unfold within his own family, yet his legacy today rests largely in his writings. Join me to explore the story of a man who stood close to some of the most dramatic events and figures of the age, but slipped into the shadows of history.

PART ONE The Assassination of President James A. Garfield (Part One) The Scholar and the Madman — Chapters 1–3 In Part One of our two-episode event, we enter the final summer of the 19th century and watch the American Republic stand on the edge of transformation. President James Abram Garfield, a reluctant leader with a brilliant mind, rises from obscurity to the highest office in the nation. But as he steps into a presidency full of promise, another man —Charles Julius Guiteau, failed preacher, failed lawyer, failed everything—begins interpreting his own delusions as divine instruction. This episode explores: • Garfield's improbable rise from canal boat laborer to scholar, general, and president • The vicious fracture inside the Republican Party between the Stalwarts and Half-Breeds • The spoils system that corrupted Washington and set the stage for tragedy • Guiteau's descent into delusion, religious mania, and political obsession • The 36-ballot convention meltdown that accidentally created a president • Whitman and Longfellow's poems that echo the spiritual tension of the era • The slow collision of two men whose fates were already entwined Part One ends on the morning of July 2nd, 1881 inside the Baltimore & Potomac Station—where history will soon change direction in an instant. ➡ Part Two continues with the seventy-nine-day national vigil, the medical disaster, and thetrial of the assassin who believed God had chosen him.

On this day in history, 19th November 1604, one of the most gifted churchmen of Elizabethan and early Jacobean England died - Richard Edes, Dean of Worcester, royal chaplain, poet, playwright, and one of the scholars appointed to help translate the King James Bible. Edes was only fifty years old when he died, and his death came just months after the great translation project began. He never lived to take part in the work that would define English religious life for centuries, yet his story opens a remarkable window into the world of late Tudor scholarship. In today's episode, I explore the life of this remarkable but often overlooked scholar: • His rise through Tudor academia • The plays and poems he composed as a young man • Queen Elizabeth's affectionate joke about her “three cousins” from the Isle of Wight • His church career and court connections • And the legacy he left behind at Worcester, Oxford, and beyond Join me as we remember Richard Edes, a man who stood at the crossroads of faith, learning, and language.

Show SummaryNatalie Elliott Handy, a caregiver for her husband and mother and co-host of the Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Podcast. During our conversation, we share the commitment that she and her sister have to highlighting and supporting military connected caregivers. Provide FeedbackAs a dedicated member of the audience, we would like to hear from you about the show. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts about the show in this short feedback survey. By doing so, you will be entered to receive a signed copy of one of our host's three books on military and veteran mental health. About Today's GuestNatalie is someone who genuinely loves people. She has a natural passion for meeting new faces, staying closely connected with family, friends, and colleagues, and, most of all, helping others. Anyone who knows her will readily say, “Natalie doesn't know a stranger.” It's simply who she has always been.Raised in her family's hardware store, Natalie learned early how to engage customers — and how to count change — by talking to everyone who walked through the door. At church, she was the first to volunteer to sing, recite Bible verses in “big church,” and attend every youth activity, especially lock-ins. In school, her teachers often placed her in the front row to help minimize “distractions,” because she was, without a doubt, a social butterfly.Those gifts — her ability to connect, her quick wit, and her desire to support others — naturally led her into leadership roles throughout her career in the mental health field. She married young at 21 and, many years later, again at 39. She often describes her first marriage as a light-hearted “practice run” with someone kind, but not Jason, the partner she shares her life with today.From the outside, Natalie's life looked picture-perfect: a fulfilling job, a loving husband, a close-knit support system, and of course, her beloved dogs. But behind the scenes, she was burning the candle at both ends — working 12-hour days, six days a week, answering every request with, “No problem. Happy to help.”Everything shifted when Jason was diagnosed with cancer in March 2022. In the midst of that crisis, Natalie confronted the truth that she couldn't keep living at that pace. During those darkest moments, she reconnected with her faith and, through that, rediscovered her true self. She learned to acknowledge her imperfections and, more importantly, to love herself fully — flaws and all.Today, Natalie has reordered her life with clear priorities: God, herself, Jason, family and friends, and then work. She says “no” far more often, seeks silver linings in difficult moments, and is grateful for the journey that led her to live God's plan instead of her own. She embraces the mantra of being “perfectly imperfect.”Her mission is simple: to share stories and experiences that inspire, uplift, and — whenever possible — spark a little laughter. She strives to encourage others to be true to themselves while supporting the people they love. And along the way, she fully intends to keep making new friends.Links Mentioned During the EpisodeConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Website2024 Heroes Caring for Heroes series2023 Heroes Caring for Heroes seriesPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor Resource of the Week is the PsychArmor course course Understanding the VA for Caregivers.

Msgr. Spiteri shares, “We do not have to give up to be like Christ but have to open up our entire life and all of its aspects so Christ can take it over”. For Newman, his conversion embodies a journey that we all are called to embrace. Every step taken towards Christ, is a step towards wholeness, communion and fulfillment that leads to mission here on Earth.

In this episode I join Charles Manson in Oxford, England to visit the Bodleian Library (Oxford University) where he is the specialist librarian for its Tibetan Collections. Charles leads us through the streets of Oxford to visit the old Bodleian Library, founded in 1602. Then we arrive at the Weston Library to explore its collection of Tibetan manuscripts. Charles guides us through gold lettered texts about Lamdre and expiation, describes the process of textual revelation known as “terma”, and shares a warning based on his own experiences of dark retreat. Charles explains the Tibetan doctrines of the afterlife while showing a rare copy of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, muses on Coleridge's advice for visiting a library, and reflects on why he believes converts to Tibetan Buddhism should attempt to learn the Tibetan language. Charles also details his working routine as a librarian and archivist, reflects on his own academic journey from SOAS to Harvard and Oxford, and considers the role his religious faith plays in his work with Tibetan texts. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep332-oxford-librarian-of-tibet-charles-manson Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:16 - The old Bodleian 03:25 - Entering the Weston Library 06:13 - Retrieving the texts 06:48 - The Driver collection 08:29 - Close look at a Lamdre text 12:33 - Features of a terma treasure text 13:14 - Mind vs earth termas 15:15 - How termas are composed 15:51 - Charles' terma experience 16:54 - 4 ways of changing the mind 17:30 - Expanding a terma 18:02 - The Driver collection 19:00 - Dakini script and images 20:52 - Manuscript care 21:20 - Unwrapping a text, discovering a washing prayer 22:30 - More texts 24:50 - The Tibetan Book of the Dead 26:03 - Bardo doctrine of 49 days between lives 26:24 - Opportunities for liberation at and after death 27:43 - How to use the Tibetan Book of the Dead 28:39 - The process of rebirth 29:48 - Liberation upon hearing 30:18 - Phowa practice for the dead 33:16 - Dark retreat as preparation for death 34:11 - Dark retreat warnings 35:40 - Charles' studies at SOAS, Harvard, and Oxford 38:45 - Beginning at the Bodleian Library 39:58 - Coleridge on libraries 41:15 - Work at the British Library 41:46 - Why Charles would like more time 43:06 - First days at the Bodleian Library 44:36 - Initial work on the collection 45:27 - The Library of Congress and other partnerships 50:59 - Range of acquisitions 52:46 - Tibetan medical writing 53:41 - Access and the goals of Charles' library acquisitions 57:14 - What would Charles do with more funding 01:01:41 - Providing online access for the world 01:03:32 - Day in the life at the Bodleian Library 01:06:33 - Importance of specialist knowledge 01:09:19 - Charles' religious devotion 01:13:45 - Separation of religion and scholarship 01:14:53 - Why converts should learn the Tibetan language 01:16:43 - Scholar practitioners and the importance of study 01:18:17 - Teaching the Tibetan language 01:19:02 - Curation as religious service 01:19:17 - Charles' invitation to viewers … Previous episode with Charles Manson: - https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep243-scholar-practitioner-charles-manson To find our more about Charles Manson, visit: - https://www.shambhala.com/authors/the-second-karmapa-karma-pakshi.html - https://uk.linkedin.com/in/charles-manson-07420911 - charles.manson@bodleian.ox.ac.uk … For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - www.guruviking.com … Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

For the James Beard Award–winning writer and culinary historian Michael W. Twitty, kitchens provide a multitude of significant purposes that stretch far into the past and carry through to the present. Beyond being places where people cook, share, and eat food, they also serve as vital spaces in which to gather in community, to grieve and process trauma, to teach and learn, to dance, to heal, and to experience Black love and joy. Twitty's multilayered cooking draws on his family roots, his personal history, and his deep culinary knowledge of the American South. His latest title, the cookbook Recipes From the American South (Phaidon), brings his skill as a home cook and historically informed recipe-maker to the fore, allowing ingredients and dishes to transform into cultural and temporal touchpoints. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Twitty reflects on what researching and uncovering his ancestry has taught him about Southern cooking and himself, and shares why, for him, food functions as a tangible form of cultural reclamation and emotional healing.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Michael W.

On this day in Tudor history, 4th November 1551, theologian, royal chaplain, and scholar John Redman, the first Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, died of consumption. Redman was one of Tudor England's most brilliant and balanced minds, a man who sought to reconcile faith, scholarship, and conscience in an age of division. Serving both Henry VIII and Edward VI, he defended traditional Catholic ideas while embracing elements of reform, earning respect from both sides of the religious divide. In this video, I explore the remarkable life of John Redman - from his early days at Oxford and Cambridge to his roles as Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, royal chaplain, and architect of Tudor theology. Discover how he helped shape the Edwardian Prayer Book, advised the crown on religion, and tried to hold England's faith together during one of its most turbulent transformations.

This week, we're taking a big-picture view of the Supreme Court's upcoming slate of Second Amendment cases. That's because this slate will be the biggest yet. Now, sure, that still only means they have two Second Amendment claims to consider. But that's more than ever before, and it comes just a few months after many gun-rights activists thought the Court was wavering on the deciding key cases. So, to discuss what we should make of this Supreme Court term, we've got Independence Institute research director David Kopel back on the show. He is one of the leading scholars in the gun-rights movement, and his work helped develop and legitimize the individual right theory of the Second Amendment. He has been cited in numerous Supreme Court gun opinions and is an odd-on favorite to be quoted again this year. Kopel argued it is notable that the Supreme Court is taking up more Second Amendment cases than ever before. He said there are outcomes that could dramatically alter the legal landscape for gun-carry or people who smoke marijuana and own guns. However, he also noted that narrow rulings could still alter the course of Second Amendment caselaw, given the Court's infrequent involvement in the issue to date. Kopel said every word a Supreme Court justice utters or writes in the course of deciding these two cases will be pored over by the lower courts for years to come. Special Guest: David Kopel.

On this day in Tudor history, 3rd November 1568, a remarkable mind was lost to the world of learning. Nicholas Carr, physician, classical scholar, and Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge, died after a lifetime devoted to scholarship and teaching. Though his name is rarely remembered today, Carr stood among the generation of Tudor humanists who kept the flame of classical learning burning, following in the footsteps of John Cheke and Roger Ascham, and ensuring that Greek studies remained central to England's universities during the Reformation. In this video, I explore Carr's fascinating life, from his early education under Nicholas Ridley to his fellowship at Trinity College, his writings on learning and reform, and his later work as a physician supporting his family in turbulent times. Carr's quiet legacy reminds us that not all Tudor influence was forged in courtly intrigue. Love discovering the overlooked figures of Tudor England?

It's taken for granted by a surprisingly large number of American Christians today that their religious faith requires them to be Zionists and strong partisans of the current state of Israel.

The New Yorker staff writer Andrew Marantz joins Tyler Foggatt for the latest installment of “How Bad Is It?,” a regular checkup on the health of American democracy. Their guests are the Rutgers historians Mark Bray and Yesenia Barragan, a married couple who recently left the United States after Bray became the target of a right-wing doxing campaign. Bray and Barragan share the events leading up to their decision to leave the country with their family, including the death threats that followed Bray's addition to a right-wing “professor watch list” and the portrayal of his work in conservative media as promoting political violence. Bray, who is the author of “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” also speaks with Tyler and Andrew about his research into militant antifascism and how those ideas resonate in Donald Trump's second Presidential term. They discuss the debates his work has sparked over political violence, free speech, and how his arguments about antifascism challenge conventional ideas of liberalism and academic freedom.

The Gospel of the Skull Crusher | KWR0053 Kingdom War Room Hosts: Dr. Michael K. Lake: Founder, Biblical Life College and Seminary, Scholar-in-Residence, Biblical Life Assembly, Co-Host of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, and Best-Selling Author. Dr. Mike Spaulding: Pastor, Lima Calvary Chapel, Host of Dr. Mike Live, aplogetist, and a prolific author. Dr. Corby Shuey: Pastor, Mount Zion Road Church, President-Elect of Biblical Life Seminary, and Christian author. Guest: Joel Richardson is a New York Times bestselling author, filmmaker, and Bible teacher known for his clear and passionate teaching on biblical prophecy, the return of Jesus, and God's redemptive plan for Israel and the nations. Through his books, films, and online content, Joel seeks to equip believers with a grounded, apocalyptic hope rooted in the Scriptures. The Gospel of the Skull Crusher: The Gloriously Good News of God's Plan to Fix Everything is a sweeping journey through the entire biblical story—from Eden to the New Jerusalem—revealing the Messiah as the promised "seed of the woman" who crushes the serpent's head (Genesis 3:15). This book traces the war between the two seeds through every major covenant, prophecy, and hope of Scripture. Combining biblical theology, prophetic insight, and devotional clarity, Joel Richardson unveils how the gospel is not merely about escaping this world, but about God's promise to restore all things through the victorious reign of His Son. To Purchase Book: store.joelstrumpet.com == Description Dr. Michael Lake is joined by Dr. Mike Spaulding, Dr. Corby Shuey, and special guest Joel Richardson (NYT bestselling author, filmmaker, Bible teacher) to unpack Joel's new book, The Gospel of the Skull Crusher: The Glorious Good News of God's Plan for Fixing Everything. From Genesis 3:15 and the "war of the seeds" to Jesus as the Divine Warrior, we explore why the Bible is not just a promise book—it's a war narrative with a guaranteed victory at the Cross, fully manifested at the Lord's return. We tackle the "now and not yet" paradigm, embodied hope and the resurrection, the prophetic centrality of Israel (Abrahamic & Davidic covenants), and why recovering a Hebraic, non-Platonic worldview matters for discipleship, evangelism, and everyday faith. Joel also shares why he crafted a tactile, heirloom-quality book (linen cover, foil, ribbon, full-color art) to help readers slow down, wonder, and worship—plus how to access his ongoing chapter-by-chapter Bible study series.

Have you ever found yourself staring at your to-do list, desperately wanting to work, but somehow—-NOT working? You're scrolling through social media, reorganizing your desk, making another coffee—-doing anything but the thing you actually need to do. You are not lazy or broken, and according to today's guest, your problem isn't willpower; it's neuroscience. Are you ready to achieve more with brain-based strategies? Join us for a conversation that will change how you think about productivity. Robin J. Emdon, known as “the procrastination slayer,” shares his personal journey from chronic procrastination to accountability coach. After realizing that he took 10 years to complete a 6-year degree due to procrastination, Robin researched the neuroscience behind productivity and wrote Get Resultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done. He explains procrastination through brain science, describing the conflict between threat modality and reward modality. He introduces his “inner productivity team,” the Conductor, the Fun-Sized Warrior, and the Scholar. His work emphasizes that accountability is the critical missing link for sustained productivity, citing research that shows a 33% improvement in goal achievement with the proper accountability structure. Robin's signature momentum formula, “Do it today–Profit tomorrow–Repeat,” helps clients worldwide turn daily action into meaningful progress and attainable success. He does this from his quiet corner on England's southwest coast.

Tech giants Apple and Google have been quietly removing ways for citizens to document The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement's activities. On this week's On the Media, one group's efforts to make sure citizens can see what ICE is doing. Plus, the online right-wing campaign that led a historian to flee the country. [01:00] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with Joseph Cox, co-founder of 404 Media, about the Trump administration's pressure campaign to get rid of apps that document ICE activities, including one that archives videos of ICE abuses, and why these apps could matter for future ICE accountability.[15:34] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with Mark Bray, historian and author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, who left the country after being accused of being “antifa,” resulting in death threats and doxxing. Bray, a professor at Rutgers University, shares how his research is helping him to understand the harassment campaign led by conservative media against him.[31:51] Host Brooke Gladstone called up John J. Lennon, contributing editor for Esquire, at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, where he's serving the 24th year of his 28-year-to-life sentence for murder, drug sales, and gun possession. He recently wrote the book, The Tragedy of True Crime: Four Guilty Men and the Stories That Define Us, and discusses the impact of the genre on people serving time and why he wants to rewrite typical true crime narratives.
