Mit verspieltem Scatgesang und ganz viel Humor begeistert die 25-Jährige Emma Nissen in den sozialen Medien. Nun ist die schwedisch-amerikanische Jazz-Sängerin auf Tour. 00:12 – Talk Was mit kurzen Musikvideos in den sozialen Medien begann, entwickelte sich innert kürzester Zeit zu einer internationalen Karriere. Die schwedisch-amerikanische Sängerin Emma Nissen erreichte mit ihrer Musik ein grosses, junges und Jazz-affines Publikum. Seither folgten Konzerte auf renommierten Bühnen, die Zusammenarbeit mit namhaften Musikerinnen und Musikern sowie zwei Alben. Emma Nissen verbindet Jazz, Soul und Gospel mit grosser musikalischer Selbstverständlichkeit und viel Raum für Improvisation, Joy und Silliness. 22:13 – Wochenrückblick Beim «Opernhaus für alle» wurde der Zürcher Sechseläutenplatz einmal mehr zum grössten Opernsaal der Schweiz. Tausende Besucherinnen und Besucher genossen Oper, Ballett und Konzert unter freiem Himmel.

Die Mitglieder wählen sowohl das Repertoire als auch die Dirigentinnen und Dirigenten eigenständig – ein in Frankreich bislang einzigartiges Modell (Oliver Rutz) Und: Der deutsche Komponist Hans Werner Henze wäre in diesen Tagen 100 Jahre alt geworden. (Moritz Weber) 36:30 – Musikfrage Gibt es eigentlich nur ein Notensystem? Dieser Frage widmet sich die Schweizer Musikethnologin Dr. Helena Simonett. Sie erklärt, wie unterschiedlich Musik rund um die Welt festgehalten wird. (Theodora Mavropoulos) 40:24 – Konzerttipp Das Klavierfestival im Musikdorf Ernen bringt vom 11. bis 17.

There is a legend that there will be a great white ninja. When a ninja clan finds a child in a chest that has washed ashore, they raise him, Haru (Chris Farley), to become this legendary warrior. Unfortunately, Haru is as clumsy as can be and lacks the majority of skills (in most things). He does have a can-do attitude though. Haru is hired for a mission by Sally Jones (Nicollette Sheridan). Off to America he goes! Haru's Sensei (Soon-Tek Oh) sends his best student, Gobei (Robin Shou), to look after Haru and aid in the mission. Silliness and many broken things will follow. RTS definitely knows when something has been or not been made by ninjas. Jeremy trains with Joey (Chris Rock) and a chicken on the loose. La-Mar has “traveled many miles and now [has] come disguised as a pimp to help you.” Collin shows us his belt. The blackness is intense! It's “like the inside of a coffin on a moonlight night.” Don't be led by the short sword and connect to the plane of enlightenment. “Holy Shinto!”

PRP 007 Mini-Broadcast: Episode 10 – The Man with the Golden Gun (With Robbie Sims) This is a rarity as far as Permanent Record Podcast episodes go.  Yes, it's an episode with show notes penned by Brian and not Sarah.  Sarah has one job once the episode has been recorded: to write the show notes.  But this time, she was nowhere to be found and everyone's second-favorite host, who already does so much, was left holding the bag!   I guess I'll start with the stuff that is ALWAYS part of these 007 episodes..... Since the beginning of the show, Brian has done his best to strong-arm discussion of Agent 007 into as many podcasts as he could. Finally he convinced Sarah to embark on a new mission: the Permanent Record Podcast 007 Mini-Broadcast! This occasional series from your friends Brian & Sarah started with "Dr. No" and will work its way up to the most recent Bond adventure, and on the way, it will discuss and critique all of the 007 theme songs and other relevant recordings. It's a dream come true for one of the hosts - and for Bond fans everywhere! Speaking of Bond fans everywhere, they will no doubt be delighted to learn that Robbie Sims, author of the delightful book Quantum of Silliness: The Peculiar World of Bond, James Bond, can once again be found co-hosting this installment with Brian and Sarah. So, with this ninth 007 movie, John Barry returns to the fold and provides one of his most controversial title tracks!  The PRP crew is going to break it down, give you the full story of how the score and the theme came to pass, and let you know what critics the world over think about it.  They will also discuss the actual film, to see if any of them will claim to love/enjoy/like it.  And somehow we get through the entire 90-minute show WITHOUT MENTIONING NICK-NACK!!!  That seems almost impossible, I know! Along with all of the MWTGG content, Robbie, Brian, and Sarah also talk about the new Lana Del Ray Bond theme, "First Light", co-written with legendary 007 composer David Arnold.  And of course, the three hosts also spill all the details on Robbie's recent vacation to Thailand, where he visited a few movie locations, including Khao Phing Kan AKA James Bond Island!  It sounds like a blast!! And finally, before it all ends, Robbie is put to the test again with a series of Bond trivia questions, but not before he makes plans to update his will and Brian makes the most shameful plea for free/discounted stuff in the history of the podcast.   As Sarah usually states:  It's an episode full of excitement, fun, and laughs that you won't want to miss!

Fluent Fiction - Korean: Serenity & Silliness: A Meditation Adventure in Bukhansan Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ko/episode/2026-04-14-07-38-19-ko Story Transcript:Ko: 지호와 수미는 어느 화창한 봄날, 부캉산 국립공원으로 향했습니다.En: Jiho and Sumi headed to Bukhansan National Park on a sunny spring day.Ko: 벚꽃과 진달래가 만개한 공원은 아름답고, 공기의 신선함이 몸과 마음을 상쾌하게 했습니다.En: The park, where cherry blossoms and azaleas were in full bloom, was beautiful, and the freshness of the air invigorated their bodies and minds.Ko: 오늘의 계획은 간단했습니다. 하이킹을 하면서 즐거운 시간을 보내고 우정을 다지는 것이었습니다.En: Their plan for the day was simple: to have a good time hiking and to strengthen their friendship.Ko: 하지만 그들은 뜻밖의 모험을 시작하게 되었습니다.En: However, they found themselves embarking on an unexpected adventure.Ko: 둘은 시작 지점에서 자신들이 신청한 명상 수업을 기다리고 있었습니다.En: The two were waiting at the starting point for the meditation class they had signed up for.Ko: "초급자 명상 수업"이라고 되어 있었기에 가벼운 마음으로 참석했습니다.En: Since it was labeled as a "beginner meditation class," they attended with light hearts.Ko: 그러나 강사가 등장했을 때, 지호와 수미는 살짝 당황했습니다.En: But they were slightly flustered when the instructor appeared.Ko: 강사는 미소 지으며 알려주었습니다. "오늘 우리는 여섯 시간 동안 침묵 속에서 명상할 것입니다."En: Smiling, the instructor informed them, "Today, we will be meditating in silence for six hours."Ko: 지호는 눈을 크게 떴습니다.En: Jiho widened his eyes.Ko: "여섯 시간이라고요?" 속으로 꿀꺽 침을 삼켰습니다.En: "Six hours?" he swallowed hard internally.Ko: 그는 조용함을 좋아하는 편이 아니었습니다.En: He wasn't exactly fond of silence.Ko: 수미는 지호의 불안한 표정을 보고 살짝 웃었습니다.En: Seeing Jiho's anxious expression, Sumi smiled slightly.Ko: 그녀는 조용한 시간을 즐길 준비가 되었습니다.En: She was ready to enjoy the quiet time.Ko: 명상이 시작되었습니다.En: The meditation began.Ko: 공원 한가운데 마련된 명상 장소는 기암절벽으로 둘러싸여 있어 고요했습니다.En: The meditation area, set in the middle of the park, was surrounded by rocky cliffs and was very serene.Ko: 처음에는 새들의 지저귐과 산바람 소리가 그들을 감쌌습니다.En: At first, the chirping of birds and the sound of the mountain breeze enveloped them.Ko: 지호는 잠시 참고 앉아 있었습니다.En: Jiho sat still for a while.Ko: 하지만 얼마 지나지 않아 지루함이 몰려왔습니다.En: But before long, boredom set in.Ko: 지호는 수미를 바라보며 잽싸게 얼굴을 찌푸렸습니다.En: Jiho looked at Sumi and quickly frowned.Ko: 수미는 웃음을 참고 고개를 저었습니다.En: Sumi shook her head, struggling to hold back laughter.Ko: 지호는 숨을 크게 들이마시며 조용한 호흡법을 시도해 보았습니다.En: Jiho took a deep breath and tried a silent breathing technique.Ko: 하지만 그 또한 곧 포기했습니다.En: But he soon gave up on that, too.Ko: 그는 손짓으로 재미있는 이야기를 만들어 수미에게 보여주려 했습니다.En: He gestured to create a funny story to share with Sumi.Ko: 시간이 흘렀습니다.En: Time passed.Ko: 모든 참가자가 깊은 명상에 잠긴 순간, 지호는 그만 큰 소리를 내고 재채기를 했습니다.En: Just as all the participants were deep in meditation, Jiho suddenly sneezed loudly.Ko: 순간 모든 사람의 명상이 깨졌습니다.En: At that moment, everyone's meditation was interrupted.Ko: 정적을 깨고 터진 재채기에 참가자들은 서로를 바라보며 웃음을 터트렸습니다.En: The sneeze that broke the silence caused the participants to look at each other and burst into laughter.Ko: 강사조차 어이없다는 듯 웃었습니다.En: Even the instructor smiled in disbelief.Ko: 끝내 명상은 웃음으로 가득 찼습니다.En: In the end, the meditation was filled with laughter.Ko: 지호는 자신이 실수를 했다고 생각했지만, 모든 사람은 그 순간을 즐기는 듯 보였습니다.En: Jiho thought he had made a mistake, but everyone seemed to enjoy the moment.Ko: 그날의 명상 수업은 엄숙함 대신 즐거움으로 가득했습니다.En: That day's meditation class was full of joy instead of solemnity.Ko: 그날 저녁, 지호는 깨달았습니다. "가끔은 규칙을 깨는 것도 좋을 수 있어."En: That evening, Jiho realized, "Sometimes it's okay to break the rules."Ko: 수미는 이렇게 답했습니다. "네 덕분에 오늘이 특별했어. 그래서 네가 내 베스트 프렌드야."En: Sumi replied, "You made today special. That's why you're my best friend."Ko: 부캉산의 봄은 그렇게 두 사람에게 잊을 수 없는 추억을 남겼습니다.En: The spring at Bukhansan left unforgettable memories for the two of them.Ko: 둘은 서로의 다름을 이해하며 더욱 견고한 우정을 쌓아갔습니다.En: Understanding each other's differences, they built an even stronger friendship.Ko: 지호와 수미는 다시 한번 함께 공원의 출구를 향해 걸어갔습니다.En: Together, Jiho and Sumi once again walked towards the park's exit.Ko: 그리고 그들의 우정은 더욱 깊어졌습니다.En: And their friendship deepened even further.

Thanks for listening and sharing and commenting.

Segment 1 • Todd tasks Jimmy with a very important choice. • From Franklin Graham to Raphael Warnock—two pastors with two completely different messages. • Faith Night on American Idol sounds spiritual… but are the songs actually saying anything meaningful? Segment 2 • What does it really mean to “pray for the president”? • When vague spirituality replaces Christian clarity, the lines between politician and pastor are blurred. • Todd presses the issue: if you can't explain your prayer, are you actually praying? Segment 3 • Easter is about hope… but a general appeal to a vague, spiritual hope misses the point. • Big churches might have a glossy, polished Easter message and still fail to preach the gospel. • Could watered-down gospel presentations be creating confident—but false—converts? Segment 4 • Churches that simply want to attract the attention of unbelievers have drifted far off course. • From parody videos to real-life Easter gimmicks—how far can things drift before truth disappears? • What you win people with, you win them to. ___ Thanks for listening!

PRP 007 Mini-Broadcast: Episode 9– Live and Let Die (With Robbie Sims) Since the beginning of the show, Brian has done his best to strong-arm discussion of Agent 007 into as many podcasts as he could. Finally he convinced Sarah to embark on a new mission: the Permanent Record Podcast 007 Mini-Broadcast! This occasional series from your friends Brian & Sarah started with "Dr. No" and will work its way up to the most recent Bond adventure, and on the way, it will discuss and critique all of the 007 theme songs and other relevant recordings. It's a dream come true for one of the hosts - and for Bond fans everywhere! Speaking of Bond fans everywhere, they will no doubt be delighted to learn that Robbie Sims, author of the delightful book Quantum of Silliness: The Peculiar World of Bond, James Bond, can once again be found co-hosting this installment with Brian and Sarah. Episode 9 in the series brings us up to the 1973 film Live and Let Die. It's Roger Moore's first appearance as the MI6 agent, and it's also the first Bond movie to feature a rock song for the theme. The song was written by Paul and Linda McCartney, performed by Paul and his band Wings, and produced by George Martin. George Martin also ended up providing the score for the film. Our three hosts discuss how Paul McCartney and George Martin became a part of the 007 universe as well as what led erstwhile Bond composer John Barry to be uninvolved with the franchise's eighth film. The trio talk about the chart success of the theme song as well as the other awards and accolades it received. George Martin's score is discussed, with some speculation over how John Barry would have done with the score for this film that covers some different thematic territory than other Bond movies. While discussing the movie, Robbie, Brian, and Sarah also talk about the fact that the theme song is performed in the film, and Brian has an impromptu trivia session with Robbie and Sarah about Bond theme songs being heard during other Bond movies. And of course, each host reveals where "Live and Let Dies" falls in their personal ranking of Bond themes.

Time to roll the dice for a...silliness check? It's an all new episode of Geek at Arms! From the City on a Hill gaming podcast we welcome good friend of the show Ryan! He kicks off Geek Out by sharing a profound philosophical truth: Any Lego set can be the Millennium Falcon if you just believe hard enough. He also shares his experience with the new Nintendo Switch 2. Bryan follows up with his thoughts on the factory building game Satisfaction and the final season of Stranger Things. James shares how much unexpected pleasure he's found in the game Hunting Simulator 2 and his plans for upcoming game nights at his church. Mike wraps it up with describing how much he's enjoyed the book, and audio book, of Space Opera by Catherynne Morgan Valente. In the main topic, the guys take "a serious look at silliness" in roleplaying games. How it can be a fun experience, the dangers of it taking over a game, and how it can positively impact mental health.

While poking through a box of old magazines at Rubber Chicken Comics, we found something called Superstars of Soul. It's an odd little educational workbook from 1986, and it taught vocabulary and reading comprehension to the kids while they learned about their favorite soul acts. So we're flipping through the whole book today, and our conversation includes: Chaka Khan on The Love Boat! Prince punching a guy! Coffee for the Pointer Sisters! Jeffrey Osborne meets the Big Blue Bug! Hall meets Oates in a freight elevator! And lots more. (Is this just our excuse to talk about Irene Cara for two episodes in a row? Perhaps...) Also: Kevin is talking Scooby Doo on A Podcask of Amontillado, and we're celebrating Pi Day with an irrational pie. A Podcask of Amontillado - the Scooby Doo episode! And our regular links...

On today's episode, we're discussing the recent developments in Minneapolis, where protests and chaos have been ongoing. Host Pete talks about the new video released showing Alex Pretti, the man who was shot and killed by Border Patrol, acting out of control 11 days prior to the incident. Pete shares his thoughts on how this video doesn't change his opinion on the case and emphasizes the need to focus on the question of whether Border Patrol handled the situation correctly. The conversation also touches on the Kansas City Mayor's efforts to keep the Royals in Kansas City and the latest news from the White House.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fred Kennedy cooked up an entire recipe of nostalgia of the 80's, seasoned with satire, blended finely with a dose of Humor, and added a finishing touch of rampaging Cocaine raged Hippos. The book starts as those old DARE videos did in the 1980's where this satire driven take on the War on Drugs reaches the Epicenter as characters like Detective Miguel Senecoza, Clarke Nebraska, and Jans M'jor "Disco" Discau lead the hilarity that ensues as a Hippo Sanctuary is led by Mr. Discau to disguise his enormous cocaine operation. Clarke Nebraska has been keeping Discau under surveillance with the FBI, but Miguel is on a mission to save his brother Tico who is undercover. The is Magnum PI meet Naked Gun or Miami Vice meets Hot Shots Part Deux. Kennedy makes for something that we need that missing from Comics in bringing the Silliness back.Written by Fred KennedyArtwork and Letters by James Edward ClarkeColors by Becka KinzieSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-faqs-project-hosted-by-james-grandmaster-faqs-boyce/donations

This week, Sam & Jess dive into the theme of not taking life too seriously, exploring how easing up can benefit both yourself and those around you. They kick off with a light-hearted game of 'Would She Rather,' which sets the tone for a conversation that balances humor with deeper insights. The discussion transitions into personal anecdotes about the physical manifestations of stress, such as clenching jaws and glutes, and how these habits reflect a mindset of constant tension and worry. They emphasize the importance of recognizing when life feels too serious and the need to embrace moments of joy and relaxation instead.TakeawaysIt's not that serious.We often brace for something to go wrong.Enjoy what you have in the moment.Worrying doesn't improve outcomes.Silliness can create better outcomes.Friends of Feel GoodJoin the Basic Bitch Boogie App - Get $15 off your first monthFollow Basic Bitch Boogie on InstagramFollow MJ Selling Paradise on Instagram

Can you really tell who's lying just by watching their body language? Are there any practical takeaways you can reliably and regularly get from studying nonverbal behavior in interrogation/interview settings? In this episode, I, Zach Elwood (author of some popular books on poker tells) talk to Chris Shelton, host of Speaking of Cults (speakingofcults.com). We take a hard look at the booming industry of alleged “body language experts,” behavior-based deception detection, and viral interrogation analysis (popular on YouTube and video platforms). We unpack why confident claims about blinks, posture, eye direction, and micro-movements are often misleading, how pseudoscience sneaks into true crime media and even law enforcement, and why innocent people can easily be anxious and seem suspicious under pressure. We discuss if there are realistic uses of body language in interrogation and other real-world settings, and what that might look like. If you've ever been persuaded by a YouTube body language "expert," this conversation might change how you think about behavior. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What Turns Her Off — and What Godly Husbands Do Instead Have you ever wished you could just…get inside your wife's heart for a moment? Not to manipulate, but to genuinely understand her. To love her in a way that makes her feel safe and wanted—not pressured or confused. My husband Darrow and I sat down to talk through something men rarely get honest insight about: Her biggest turn-offs. And not because we want to shame or scold—but because clarity brings freedom. When you finally understand what shuts her down, you also discover what opens her heart. So take a deep breath.You're not in trouble.You're learning—and that already makes you a good man. Let's walk through these turn-offs together, with God's kindness leading us all the way. 1. When Affection Feels Like a Transaction One of the most common complaints I hear from wives is this: "Every time he does something sweet, it feels like he's trying to get sex." A back rub, a coffee, a hand on her waist, a date night—beautiful gestures—become tainted when she senses they come with an expectation. When affection is only a bridge to the bedroom, she feels: Used Not loved for who she is Like her worth is tied to her sexual availability God never intended marital intimacy to be a negotiation.Love her without a scoreboard. Bless her without an agenda. 2. Grabbing, Pinching, or Smacking Her Body When She's Not Comfortable Yes…wives talk about this. And I know many husbands mean it playfully.But if she doesn't feel safe—emotionally, spiritually, or physically—this kind of touch feels like entitlement, not affection. Her body is not something to be "snatched."She needs room to open, not pressure to surrender. When she feels cherished—not grabbed—she wants to share her body freely. 3. Taking "Not Now" Personally If she says she's tired, overwhelmed, stressed, or simply "not right now," it's almost never about you. But when a husband interprets it as: Rejection Lack of desire "She doesn't love me" …it puts enormous emotional weight on her shoulders. Instead, respond with: "No worries, sweetheart. Another time would be wonderful." That confidence and peace will draw her toward you—not away. 4. Moping After She Says No Emotional sulking is not harmless. Moping communicates: "You disappointed me." "Now I have to punish you with sadness." "You're responsible for my emotions."   This shuts her heart down.Fast. Your steadiness and joy—even when she's not available—makes her feel safe. And safety is the soil where desire grows. 5. Punishing Her for Not Wanting Sex This is one of the deepest wounds wives carry. Punishments include: Silent treatment Withholding affection Moving to another room Being cold or distant Only being "nice" when you want intimacy These behaviors feel manipulative and honestly frightening. Your wife is not the enemy. She is the assignment God entrusted to you. Lead with love, not consequences. 6. Lack of Playfulness Playfulness is essential to intimacy. If everything feels heavy, serious, structured, pressured…then her nervous system never relaxes enough to enjoy being sensual. Silliness is holy ground for a woman's heart. Laughter lowers her guard.Playfulness creates connection. If you want her to be playful in the bedroom, she needs to experience playfulness outside the bedroom. 7. Not Feeling Emotionally Safe Women cannot separate emotional connection from physical intimacy. I'll say that one more time. Women cannot separate emotional connection from physical intimacy. When she feels emotionally unsafe, her body shuts down. Emotional Safety looks like: Listening Compassion Being slow to speak and quick to understand Responding gently Supporting her heart, not "fixing" immediately  When she feels heard, she opens. 8. Being a "Negative Nellie" (or Negative Ned!) Constant complaining is exhausting and not attractive. It pulls the atmosphere of the home downward and makes her feel like she has to carry your emotional weight. There is space to process hard things—but constant negativity drains the joy God wants in your marriage. Rejoice. Notice blessings. Bring hope into the home. 9. Bitterness and Resentment Long-term resentment is a marriage-killer. Bitterness communicates: "I haven't forgiven you." "You owe me." "I'm still keeping score." This is the opposite of Christlike love. Your wife cannot relax into intimacy with a man who holds her mistakes over her head. Forgiveness clears the ground for closeness to grow again. And if you need a little extra inspiration, let us turn you to Matthew 6:15 (NIV): "But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." 10. Being Too Serious All the Time Intensity has a place—but not every moment. When a man is always stern, rigid, perfectionistic, spiritual-but-heavy…it makes her feel like she can never fully exhale. If she can't be herself around you, she won't be vulnerable with you. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit—not an optional extra. 11. Using Slang or Sexual Words She Doesn't Like Words matter. Some husbands use slang affectionately or playfully.Some wives love it.Others absolutely don't. If slang or sexual language makes her uncomfortable, embarrassed, or unsafe, it becomes a turn-off—not a turn-on. Honor her preferences. You're not losing freedom—you're gaining connection. Final Thoughts: So What Do You Do with All This? If reading this stirs conviction…good. Conviction is not condemnation.The enemy heaps shame.God invites repentance—and repentance leads to freedom. Your wife is God's daughter. And He entrusted her to you. Every shift you make toward loving her well brings you closer to His heart and closer to hers. We're rooting for you!   Blessing, The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - If you want help walking this out in real life—not just head knowledge—that's exactly why our coaching and in-person training programs exist. Men who were separated from their wives…Men in sexless marriages…Men whose wives felt unsafe for years……have seen transformation they once thought impossible.For more information on our In-Person Training programs, launching January 2026, check out delightyourmarriage.com/ipt If you're ready to dive into the Coaching programs, please feel free to schedule a free Clarity Call at delightyourmarriage.com/cc PPS - Here is a quote from a recent In-Person Training pilot program graduate: "My wife and I have been separated for 6 months, and the same day as our [IPT] graduation, she chose to and began moving back into our matrimonial home. I also told her about our [IPT] program that same day. Up until then, I had said I was attending a men's bible study. All praise be to God."
