Podcasts about shuggie

Shuggie Bain is the heartbreaking story of a young boy growing up in Glasgow Scotland and being raised by his alcoholic mother. The story highlights the challenges Shuggie faces as he tries to navigate a spiraling home life and a bleak outside world of bullies and economic dispair. Jamey discusses this beautifully written and inciteful book with his friend John Schaeffler. 

We close out Climate Solutions Week with a look at the final step in the food system: waste. Roughly 30-40% of all food produced globally gets thrown out — a huge problem when it comes to climate change. Shuggie's Trash Pie and Natural Wine has answers for what to do with all that waste – be it bruised fruit and wilted greens salad or meatballs made out of beef hearts. The San Francisco restaurant describes itself as a "climate-solutions restaurant" — and they're hoping you find these dishes appealing. Or at least, that you're willing to give them a try. Shuggie's is one of a growing number of eateries trying to address this problem. Interested in hearing more climate solutions? Email us at shortwave@npr.org.

Douglas Stuart, "Shuggie Bain". Tõlkinud Anu Lutsepp. Postimehe kirjastuselt. Loeb Kristi Aule. On aasta 1981. Glasgow sureb vähehaaval välja, linnas ellujäämiseks tuleb kurja vaeva näha. Kui Agnes Bain üha sügavamale pudelipõhja vaatab, püüavad lapsed teda päästa, kuid iseenda päästmiseks tuleb neil üksteise järel ema hüljata. Poeg Shuggiel jagub kõige kauem lootust. Shuggie on teistsugune. Ta on nõudlik ja pirtsakas, samasugune snoob nagu emagi. Kaevurilapsed narrivad teda ja täiskasvanud ütlevad hukkamõistvalt, et ta on veidrik. Kuid Shuggie usub, et kui ta kõigest väest pingutab, on ta ühel päeval normaalne nagu teised poisid ja aitab emal lohutust paigast põgeneda.

Episode 124: Another Replay For Holiday Break, From April '22 January 7, 2024 As we take a break to be with family and friends to rest and recharge, this replay has some cool notes to hit. There's Shuggie's love letter, a song that many call the first psychedelic rock tune by The Byrd's, Luc-Ponty's violin, of course a Doobie, soundalike The Searchers and other Fascinating Things (a bit of now and then). I have an idea for a future show. A lot of people play or at least try to play an instrument of some kind. May be their voice. Or castanets. Or they listen and applaud (or pillow hands). I myself am playing some guitar with friends and getting a little better, overall. What I want to do is give notice a week before as to what song, one hopefully many know, we'll play the next week. You can easily find music online and for free. On the next show, I'll play the recorded version while I play on my guitar live and you join in, in some way or another, if you want to. Whether you listen live on RadioFreeNashville.org or catch the podcast, we can, universally play the same song, along with me or as you hear the replay. This idea came to me after my friend from my hometown, Jim Smollon told me few years ago when I played Hold My Hand by Hootie and the Blowfish, he had to grab his guitar and play that one at home while I played it on the podcast. I'd like to spread that around the world. This podcast is downloaded in over 18 countries at last count. Imagine the instruments that could be played! Maybe those playing could record their versions and email the track to me. Who knows? I might be able to mix it and hear what we get. On my friend Jim Smollon mentioned above, he had some health event and was found dead at home a while back. A real shock to his family and friends. He was a good guy. So, why don't we call this project “The Jim Jam”? I'll explain more as this idea gels. HAPPY 2024! Do all you can for peace and justice, around the world!

Jeffrey Innes of indie rock band Yukon Blonde leads us through an incredible journey in the world of "Shuggie". With insight about everything from the songwriting to visuals accompanying the album, he truly provides a second-layer of meaning to the project.

Shuggie Bain je deček, ki je odraščal ob mami alkoholičarki v Glasgowu v osemdesetih letih 20. stoletja, ko je mesto prizadelo naglo propadanje industrije in zapiranje rudnikov. Posledica tega, naglo povečevanje revščine in vse večje brezizhodnosti, se je močno pokazala tudi v medčloveških odnosih. Kljub težki in tudi tragični tematiki je prvenec škotskega pisatelja Douglasa Stuarta hitro prepričal številne bralke in bralce in osvojil vrsto literarnih nagrad, med drugimi nagrado booker leta 2020.

Vydejte se s námi do Glasgow za svérázným chlapcem Shuggiem, zanadávejte si s námi na Margaret Thatcher i na románové emocionální ždímačky a vybudujte si empatii k alkoholičkám s tváří Elizabeth Taylor. Shuggie Bain je velký román, který nám nesměl ujít, mluvíme tentokrát o něm, trochu i o druhé knize Douglase Stuarta Young Mungo, taky o úskalích překladu dialektů nebo o těch vzácných dílech, která si nezaslouží redukovat na politická.

SHUGGIE BAIN đào sâu vào từng góc khuất tăm tối của Glasgow vào thập niên 1980 dưới thời Margaret Thatcher, qua đó hé lộ một câu chuyện xúc động về những mảnh đời chật vật trong cảnh bế tắc mà không thấy được ánh sáng. Bằng lối kể pha trộn giữa bi kịch với hài hước, tàn nhẫn với dịu dàng, lòng trắc ẩn với đau đớn tột cùng, SHUGGIE BAIN khắc họa nên bức tranh đầy ám ảnh về quan hệ gia đình, về định kiến xã hội, về sự tự nhận thức bản thân, về đói nghèo và tệ nạn. Khi con người ngập ngụa dưới đáy khốn khổ, họ hiến dâng mù quáng cho tình yêu, họ chạm tới giới hạn tưởng chừng vô tận, họ bám víu điên cuồng vào niềm kiêu hãnh và hy vọng để khao khát làm chủ vận mệnh. Cuốn tiểu thuyết đầy day dứt này sẽ khiến bạn phải khóc! THÔNG TIN TÁC GIẢ: Douglas Stuart sinh ra và lớn lên tại thành phố Glasgow, Scotland.

1976'da Glasgow'da doğan, 24 yaşındayken New York'a yerleşen İskoç kökenli Britanya ve ABD yurttaşı yazar Douglas Stuart ilk romanı Shuggie Bain ile 2020'de Booker Ödülü kazandığında, çok dikkatli The New Yorker ve LitHub okurları haricinde edebiyat dünyasında onu pek tanıyan yoktu. Douglas Stuart yakın çevresinde dahi daha ziyade önemli markalar için çalışan bir moda tasarımcısı olarak biliniyordu. Ve Shuggie Bain ABD'de tam 32 yayınevi tarafından geri çevrilmişti.Bu hacimli ve okunması duygusal açıdan pek de kolay olmayan roman, Booker Ödülü'nün yanı sıra Amerikan Ulusal Kitap Ödülü, Andrew Carnegie Madalyası, Kirkus Ödülü dahil birçok önemli ödüle de aday gösterildi. Ve 2022'de Türkiye'de çeviri edebiyatın ilk sürprizlerinden biri olarak, Can Yayınları etiketiyle Duygu Akın'ın Türkçesiyle okura ulaşıyor.Shuggie Bain otobiyografik özellikler de taşıyan bir roman. 1980'ler Glasgow'unda yoksul bir çevreyi, o çevredeki üç çocuklu bir aileyi, alkolik bir anne ile onun kendisinden beklenen "eril" kimlik ve duruşu gösteremeyen küçük oğlu Shuggie'nin ilişkisine odaklanarak anlatıyor. Can Yayınları editörü Cem Alpan'la kitap üzerine sohbetimizde moderatörlüğü Mesut Varlık üstleniyor.

Douglas Stuart har gjort kometkarriere i den litterære verden med sin debutroman Shuggie Bain. Romanen foregår i 90'ernes Skotland i et fattigt arbejdermiljø, som er præget af Thatcher og arbejdsløshed. Douglas Stuart er en utroligt gavmild fortæller, der taler om at gå tilbage i tiden og trække på sin egne erfaringer fra en barndom, der på mange måder ligner Shuggies. Shuggie Bain er også en roman, der handler om andethed og om at være homoseksuel i en tid og et område, hvor det var uacceptabelt.

Ein kleiner Junge versucht verzweifelt seine Mutter von der Flasche wegzubringen. Douglas Stuart hat in einem eindringlichen Sozialdrama seine eigene Familiengeschichte im von Armut geprägten Glasgow der 1980er Jahre verarbeitet.

Der schottische Autor Douglas Stuart erzählt in seinem Debütroman eine ergreifende Familiengeschichte über Armut, Sucht, Liebe, Einsamkeit und Hoffnung. In den elendigen Stadtvierteln und Sozialwohnungen von Glasgow schlägt sich die schöne Agnes Bain durch ein Leben voller Leid und Enttäuschung. Agnes‘ Alkoholsucht drückt sie von Jahr zu Jahr tiefer auf den schwarzen Boden der Hoffnungslosigkeit. Immer grausamere Opfer lässt sie ihre Kinder für sich bringen – bis kein Entkommen mehr ersichtlich ist. Anders zu sein in einem sozialen Raum, der keine Kapazitäten für Erfolg, Individualität oder persönliche Entfaltung vorsieht, ist das Schicksal des jüngsten Sohnes Shuggie, der lieber mit Puppen und Ponys als Fußball spielt. Wegen seines Gangs, seiner Sprechart und seiner Manier wird er von Schulkameraden, Lehrern, Nachbarn – und seinem eigenen Vater – gemobbt, geschlagen, bespuckt und missbraucht. Diese Welt möchte es unter keinen Umständen zulassen, dass aus kleinen Jungs etwas anderes – mehr – wird als ihre Väter und ihre Mütter … Douglas Stuart, geboren und aufgewachsen in Glasgow, studierte am Royal College of Art in London. Nach seinem Abschluss zog er nach New York, wo er als Modedesigner arbeitet. Seine Texte erschienen im New Yorker und auf Literary Hub. Für seinen ersten Roman, Shuggie Bain, wurde er mit dem Booker Preis 2020 ausgezeichnet.

More than 40 publishers rejected the debut novel 'Shuggie Bain' by Scottish Douglas Stuart before it won the Booker prize in 2020. The jury behind the prize called it "destined to become a classic". In this intimate interview  Douglas Stuart tells the story behind the extraordinary novel  of a young queer boy in Glasgow in the 1980ies. Douglas Stuart was interviewed in August 2021 on stage at the Louisiana Literature festival at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark by editor of culture Synne Rifbjerg. 

Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the second half of August's book, Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart published in 2020 (from ch.18 if you're reading alongside). The idea of the podcast is that we'll read the first half of a book together — one that I and perhaps you have never read) and then I'll share my thoughts in part 1 of the podcast published on the second Friday of the month. And then in part 2 (published on the last Friday of the month), I'll discuss the second half of the book. We'll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it's a book we'd recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don't have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I'll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at the BookShook YouTube channel (link below) or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we'll be reading for September is Piranesi by Susannah Clarke — we'll be reading up to the end of part 3 on page 124 - around 50% on Kindle (so get that ready if you're going to read alongside me). The first podcast will be on 10th September. Thanks for listening to BookShook! RogerContent Warning: There are some very adult themes throughout the novel (eg. physical and sexual violence).

Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the first half of August's book, Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart published in 2020 (up to the end of ch. 17 if you're reading alongside). The idea of the podcast is that we'll split a book into two equal halves — a book that I and perhaps you have never read. In the first podcast, published on the second Friday of the month, we'll discuss the first half. And then in the second podcast (published on the last Friday of the month - 26th August), we'll look at the second half of the book (in this case from ch.18).

This is a bonus episode, part of Pledge Week 2021. Patreon backers get one of these with every episode of the main podcast. If you want to get those, and to support the podcast, please visit patreon.com/andrewhickey to sign up for a dollar a month or more. Click below for the transcript. Just a head's up for those of you who have a limited time -- this one runs slightly longer than most of the Patreon bonus episodes. The script's the same length, but there are about twice as many music clips as normal, so it may last closer to fifteen minutes than ten. Today we're going to look at a duo who at one point I planned to include in the main podcast, and when I moved them out of the list for that, I forgot to do as a Patreon episode at the appropriate time. But this week's main episode deals with the Searchers, who popularised their most successful song, so today we're going to look at a duo who are almost certainly the only artists ever to influence both Frank Zappa and Donny and Marie Osmond. We're going to look at Don and Dewey, and "Farmer John": [Excerpt: Don and Dewey, "Farmer John"] Don "Sugarcane" Harris and Dewey Terry were two of the best multi-instrumentalists on the California R&B scene in the fifties. Harris could play guitar, harmonica, and piano, and also spent a decade learning classical violin, while Terry started out on piano, but soon became a fearsome blues guitarist in the style of Guitar Slim. They started working together in a six-piece vocal group, the Squires, who were based in Pasadena where both men grew up: [Excerpt: The Squires, "Lucy Lou"] As well as recording under their own name, The Squires also recorded as The Blue Jays, making soundalike EPs of current R&B hits for a budget label called Dig This Record. One EP, as an example, featured "Sincerely", "Earth Angel", "Hearts of Stone" and "Pledging My Love", the latter with Don on lead vocal: [Excerpt: The Blue Jays, "Pledging My Love"] However, Don and Dewey soon realised that since between them they could play most instruments, sing most parts, and write songs, there was no need for them to continue splitting the money with four other people, and started working as a duo, while the Squires continued on their own. Don and Dewey recorded a couple of singles for small labels, the vocal "Miss Sue": [Excerpt: Don and Dewey, "Miss Sue"] And the instrumental "Slummin'", which was the first record to show off Harris' unique violin playing. I can't find my source for this, but I read somewhere that Harris created his own electric violin by taping a record needle to his violin and hooking it up to an amp. Whatever he did, he got a unique sound that proves that the violin can work as a great blues instrument -- his playing manages to combine the timbre of both the blues guitar and the harmonica, and it sounds stunning: [Excerpt: Don and Dewey, "Slummin'"] Shortly after this, Bumps Blackwell signed the duo to Specialty, where they were quickly fitted into what was fast becoming the Specialty house style, making records that sounded just like Little Richard or Larry Williams, starting with "Jungle Hop": [Excerpt: Don and Dewey, "Jungle Hop"] Their second Specialty single was a song that would become a standard, "I'm Leaving It All Up To You": [Excerpt: Don and Dewey, "I'm Leaving It All Up To You"] In 1963 that would reach number one for a duo called Dale and Grace, and in the seventies it would become a top ten hit for Donny and Marie Osmond: [Excerpt: Donny and Marie Osmond, "I'm Leaving It All Up To You"] But it was their last record of the fifties that became their most influential, even though like their other records it wasn't a hit -- a song called "Farmer John", that they released in 1959: [Excerpt: Don and Dewey, "Farmer John"] Shortly after that, they moved labels, as their A&R man, Sonny Bono, who had written their earlier single "Koko Joe" was moving and they went with him. Unfortunately, their new label did little to promote them, and the duo spent the next few years in obscurity, while Bono went on to bigger things, some of which you can hear about in this week's main episode. They eventually joined Little Richard's backing band, and played on his comeback attempt "Bama Lama Bama Loo": [Excerpt: Little Richard, "Bama Lama Bama Loo"] They also released another record on Specialty around that time, "Mammer Jammer": [Excerpt: Don and Dewey, "Mammer Jammer"] Neither of those records was a hit, and Don and Dewey started playing as a Vegas lounge act for the next few years. But oddly "Farmer John" started to take off, more than four years after originally being released. The first cover version of it seems to have been by the Searchers, who often sought out obscure R&B songs. Their version of it was an album track on their first album: [Excerpt: The Searchers, "Farmer John"] That was then picked up by a Swedish group called the Hep Stars, who had a top ten hit with the song in Sweden with a copy of the Searchers' arrangement: [Excerpt: The Hep Stars, "Farmer John"] The Hep Stars' keyboard player Benny Andersson would later start writing songs in collaboration with another member of a later lineup of the group, and they would have some small amount of success with their new band ABBA. In 1964, as well, another band revived it -- a Chicano band called the Premiers, from East LA. Their version is clearly based on Don and Dewey's original, combined with "Louie Louie" -- they've said that they specifically modelled their record on "Louie Louie" -- but it seems likely to me that the Searchers reviving the song a few months earlier will have brought the song to mind, as nobody had covered the song in the years since 1959, and the British Invasion bands were so popular at the time. Whatever the reasoning was, the Premiers' version made the top twenty: [Excerpt: The Premiers, "Farmer John"] That would be the Premiers' only hit, but it would turn "Farmer John" into a garage-rock standard, recorded by dozens of other artists over the years, most notably Neil Young: [Excerpt: Neil Young: "Farmer John"] In the late sixties, Frank Zappa was working with Johnny Otis and asked him about Sugarcane Harris. Otis had recently worked with Harris, who had played piano and violin on the Cold Shot album with Otis and his son Shuggie, who was also working with Zappa: [Excerpt: Johnny Otis, "Cold Shot"] Otis introduced the two, and Harris played with Zappa on several tracks, including two on his biggest-selling album, Hot Rats: [Excerpt: Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart, "Willie The Pimp"] And he played violin and sang lead on Zappa's cover version of Little Richard's "Directly From My Heart To You": [Excerpt: The Mothers of Invention, "Directly From My Heart To You"] The exposure that these appearances with Otis and Zappa gave to Harris meant that for the next few years he was a successful sideman, playing with John Mayall, John Lee Hooker, Harvey Mandel, and others, as well as releasing a string of his own solo blues albums in the seventies. Later, he and Dewey reunited to play the nostalgia circuit, and they carried on playing together until 1999, when Don died. Dewey got in a replacement, but died himself four years later.
