Podcasts about ShortList

In which Kate is joined by pod regular, journalist Phil Chaffee and Professor Elizabeth Eva Leach. Both read over 200 books a year, and their reading stacks this year have included the Booker longlist.  And so who better to consider the books that didn't make the final cut – but which are, notwithstanding, the 'best' books selected from over 150 submitted titles. As we know, really great books can get overlooked for the shortlist. Consider Trust by Hernan Diaz, longlisted but not shortlisted, or, going further back Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and before that Penelope Fitzgerald's miraculous novel The Blue Flower. The fallibility of the judging process thus proven let's leave no stone unturned in considering this year's selection. Did the judges overlook a new favourite read? The Booker Prize is announced on 10th November and we'll be recording an episode on the shortlist on the night. Coming soon!

Was wäre, wenn der Reporter im Film "Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier" nicht mehr aus seiner Dauerschleife am 2. Februar herausgefunden hätte? Für immer gefangen in einem einzigen Tag, während die Welt sich für die anderen Menschen weiterdreht? Dieses Gedankenexperiment hat die dänische Autorin und Philosophin Solvej Balle unternommen: Sie lässt ihre Protagonistin in einem 18. November stecken und spielt alle Möglichkeiten durch, die ein solches Feststecken mit sich bringen kann: Der Verlust von Beziehungen, aber auch der Gewinn einer ungeahnten Freiheit. Die inzwischen vierbändige Buchreihe wurde mit dem Literaturpreis des Nordischen Rates ausgezeichnet und 2025 für die Shortlist des International Booker Prizes nominiert. Irène Bluche stellt "Die Berechnung des Rauminhalts IV" vor.

Den Amoklauf hat er jetzt in einem Roman verarbeitet. "Die Ausweichschule" steht auf der Shortlist des Deutschen Buchpreises, der am Montag verliehen wird. Jetzt ist der Roman auch als Hörbuch erschienen. Hannegret Kullmann stellt es vor.

Episode summary Donald sits down with longtime friend and retired District Manager Warren Poplin to unpack how to plan successful “music in the park” events—from picking the right artist for the vibe, to power, staging, permits, and the little courtesies that turn musicians into repeat partners. It's a nuts-and-bolts, field-tested guide for park pros, friends groups, and community partners. Why this matters Live music can be a low-cost, high-impact way to activate parks, diversify audiences, and build community pride. Doing it well protects resources, supports artists, and keeps visitors coming back. Guest Warren Poplin — Retired State Park District Manager, frequent Tailgate Talks guest, and seasoned event operator with decades of on-the-ground experience coordinating concerts and community programs in public spaces. Key takeaways Match music to mission & moment: Align genre/energy to the event's purpose (family day, evening picnic, heritage fest, trail run finish, holiday lighting, etc.). Right-sized production wins: Small parks and small budgets do best with solo/duo/acoustic; bigger draws require a defined stage, power plan, and crowd layout. Infrastructure is everything: Flat surface, weather plan, safe electrical, clear load-in, and simple signage solve 90% of headaches. Respect the resource: Volume limits, turf/tree protection, cable ramping, and wildlife sensitivity keep the park first. Treat artists like partners: Good comms, parking, water, green room space, and timely payment = great shows and good word of mouth. Clarity in contracts: Scope, set length, sound limits, cancellation/weather clauses, insurance, and deliverables prevent surprises. Neighbors count: Noise windows, traffic plans, and end-times maintain community support. Practical planning checklist Program & booking Define goal, audience, and “feel” (acoustic picnic, bluegrass evening, jazz brunch, cultural showcase, etc.) Shortlist artists who fit family-friendly content and your decibel/time constraints Verify W-9/insurance if required; confirm set length, breaks, and backline needs Site & layout Flat, stable performance area (stage, deck, or ground with mats) Audience zones, ADA routes, shade/shelter, and emergency access kept clear Cable ramps/ties; protect trees, turf, irrigation heads Power & sound Dedicated 20A circuits near stage; no daisy-chain madness If using generators: inverter/quiet type, grounded, away from audience Agree on a max SPL and a soundcheck window Lighting (for evenings) Minimum: performer wash + audience path lighting + exit/parking illumination Avoid spill into sensitive habitat/roosting areas Permits & safety Noise variance if needed; ranger/volunteer staffing plan Weather thresholds (lightning, wind, heavy rain) and pause/cancel script First aid, radios, and “show stop” authority identified Hospitality & courtesies Reserved parking near load-in; wagon or cart available Water, bathrooms, and a simple green room/tent Small thank-you: park swag, day passes, photos, quick thank-you post Comms & promotion Clear run-of-show to artists and staff Social posts with artist tag, schedule, what to bring (chairs/blankets), pet rules On-site signage for stage, restrooms, and rules Budget Artist fee (with deposit), sound/lighting, staff/overtime, marketing, contingency (10–15%) In-kind partners: local music store, friends group, tourism board Pro tips from the field Have a Plan B (and C): Shade tent + quick tarp kit + lightning delay protocol. Keep it simple: Fewer inputs = faster soundcheck and fewer failures. Front-load courtesy: A friendly load-in + cold water + on-time pay buys endless goodwill. Think exits: End on time; light the walks and parking; stagger teardown vs. visitor egress. Capture content: Get 3–5 photos/video clips for your next promo reel (with permissions).

In der neuen Folge unseres Literaturpodcasts "Was liest du gerade?" diskutieren Iris Radisch und Adam Soboczynski über das neue Buch von Caroline Wahl und den Streit, der im deutschen Feuilleton und im Netz über die Bestsellerautorin ausgebrochen ist. Außerdem geht es um ein echtes Meisterwerk: Ian McEwans neuer Roman "Was wir wissen können". Es spielt in der Zukunft: Großbritannien ist ein Inselmeer, Hamburg und London sind nach einem Atomunfall untergegangen, Deutschland gehört zu Russland. Warum, fragen sich die jungen Leute im Jahr 2119, war die vergangene Zivilisation so bescheuert, einfach unterzugehen? Für sie sind wir nicht weniger beschränkt als die Menschen, die sich im Dreißigjährigen Krieg gegenseitig abgeschlachtet haben. Aber sie bewundern auch unsere Freiheit und unseren Luxus, denn ihre Lebenserwartung liegt nur noch bei 62 Jahren. Und leckeres Essen gibt es auch nicht mehr. Außerdem geht es um Dorothee Elmigers Roman "Die Holländerinnen", der es auf die Shortlist zum Deutschen Buchpreis geschafft hat. Eine Theatergruppe reist auf den Spuren eines echten Kriminalfalls durch Panama, wo im Jahr 2014 zwei Holländerinnen im Urwald verschwunden sind. Es wird eine Expedition ins "Herz der Finsternis", auch wenn es nur eine Kunstaktion ist, ein Reenactment. Die Autorin erzählt besonders kunstvoll und mit vielen literarischen und philosophischen Anspielungen von der Faszination des Menschen für das abgrundtief Entsetzliche. Unser Klassiker ist Goethes Longseller "Die Leiden des jungen Werther", das schönste und traurigste Buch über die erste ganz große Liebe eines jungen Mannes. Das Team von "Was liest du gerade?" erreichen Sie unter buecher@zeit.de. Literaturangaben: - Caroline Wahl: Die Assistentin. Roman. Rowohlt Verlag. 368 S., 24 Euro. - Ian McEwan: Was wir wissen können. Roman. Diogenes Verlag.

It is 10 months since the resignation of Justin Welby as Archbishop of Canterbury. Now, finally, the Crown Nominations Commission is believed to have drawn up a shortlist of candidates, and a successor to Welby could be approved by October.Theologian and author Andrew Graystone joins Damian Thompson to talk through what he calls ‘a weak list' of potential candidates – weak because there are no obvious frontrunners and the Commission is choosing between ‘half a dozen equals'. These range from the more talked-about Michael Beasley (Bath and Wells), Guli France-Dehqani (Chelmsford) and Rose Hudson-Wilson (Dover) [all pictured in the thumbnail] to the ‘others': Stephen Lake (Salisbury), Martyn Snow (Leicester), Joanne Grenfell (St Edmundsbury and Ipswich), Sarah Mullallay (London), Rachel Treweek (Gloucester) and Ruth Worsely (interim bishop of Liverpool).As Andrew tells Damian, factors dividing the candidates include their age, their views on LGBT inclusion and, crucially, their records on safeguarding issues. Also, note the presence of six women on this list. Could the Church be about to appoint the first female Primate of All England? And could this lead to disastrous controversy within the Anglican Communion – or is that body already so fractured that the Church of England will ignore its objections? Anyone wondering why the process has taken so long – especially compared to the 17 days it took the Catholic Church to elect a new Pope this year – should check out our previous episode with Andrew here.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
