#151 Principle Centric with Simon Oliver Sensei  Over 50 years of study, practical application, and obsessive interest in the martial arts means Simon Oliver delivers some of the most Dynamic martial arts Seminars around. Born in 1961 into a rare martial arts heritage both his father and grandfather were former Jujutsu and judo practitioners Simon Oliver started learning Jujutsu and judo at the tender age of six years to try and calm is boisterous nature. It was a chance experience that lead him into starting karate after seeing a demonstration at Alexander Palace in London by a group of senior Japanese Sensei; he pestered his father to find a dojo. Simon was eventually introduced to karate by a student of the great Tatsuo Suzuki who was a friend of his father. Peter Bell provided private tuition in the Wado Ryu style, due to the age restriction on people starting karate during the late 1960's early 70's. Simon received his Shodan with the Wado Ryu before the family moved to Doncaster where he met Alan Rushby Sensei who was teaching the Shukokai (Shito Ryu) style. It was during this time that Simon started to develop a keen interest in Kobujutsu (Old style weapons) and started training in various traditional weapons.

Anthem by Noah Hawley. Brand new, just out this week – this is a truly epic story set in the US post Covid where there's an epidemic of anxiety plaguing the younger generation and young Simon Oliver is packed off by his very wealthy parents (made their fortune in something similar to OxyContin), to an expensive Anxiety Treatment clinic near Chicago where he meets a group of similarly affected young people and they set out on an epic road trip across America, with plan to try and make their future – and the future of all American kids – better than it currently is. I loved it. Just FYI I also loved Noah Hawley's previous books, especially After the Fall and he wrote the screenplay for the TV series Fargo. Vanderbilt by Anderson Cooper with Katherine Howe. He is of course a very well-known US broadcaster but is also Gloria Vanderbilt's son and he's written their family history which is brilliant. Their wealth started in the early 19th century when 11-year-old Cornelius Vanderbilt was very entrepreneurial and went on to make a fortune in shipping and on railroads; then his son doubled the family fortune. They had rivers of money – oceans of the stuff – and later generations went on to squander it in some very creative and interesting ways, so that by the time Anderson came along there was none left. It's wonderful family history but in some ways also the history of America during that time. Highly readable and engaging. Joan MacKenzie joined Francesca Rudkin to discuss the current recommended reads.LISTEN ABOVE

The first big novel of 2022: an epic literary thriller set where America is right now, in which a band of unlikely heroes sets out on a quest to save one innocent life - and might end up saving us all. The wheels are coming off in America. Opioid addictions accelerate unstoppably. Environmental collapse can be read in every weather report. Vigilante bands take over streets at night, wearing clownface makeup. The very idea of government, of citizenship, is challenged daily. And something is happening to teenagers across the country, spreading through memes only they know. At the Float Anxiety Abatement Center, in a suburb of Chicago, Simon Oliver is trying to recover from his sister's tragic passing. He breaks out to join a woman named Louise and a man called The Prophet on a quest as urgent as it is enigmatic. Who lies at the end of the road? A man known as The Wizard, whose past encounter with Louise sparked her own collapse. Their quest becomes a rescue mission when they join up with a man whose sister is being held captive by The Wizard, impregnated and imprisoned in a tower. Noah Hawley's new novel is a freewheeling adventure that finds unquenchable lights in dark corners. Unforgettably vivid characters and a plot as fast and bright as pop cinema blend in a Vonnegutian story that is as timeless as a Grimm's fairy tale. It is a leap into the idiosyncratic pulse of the American heart, written with the bravado, literary power and feverish foresight that have made Hawley one of our most essential writers.

Stewart Henderson invites Andy Angel, Susannah Cornwall, Mike Higton and Simon Oliver to discuss how our universally shared humanness – with its questions of identity, sexuality, and relationships – relates to the Christian story of salvation. Book reference: Part Three. Making connections: where are we in God's story? Ch. 10 A story about being human

Jessica Martin, Simon Oliver and Bishops Christopher Cocksworth and Bev Mason join Stewart Henderson in conversation about the church's received teaching on life, friendship and marriage and how that applies today. Book reference: Part One. Reflecting: what have we received? Ch. 1 The gift of life Ch. 2 The gift of life in relationship Ch. 3 The gift of marriage

Salus and Sanctus: On Salvation as Health and Well-Being Seminar by Prof. Simon Oliver (Durham University)

Il va sans dire que d’asseoir à la même table la journaliste et auteure Nathalie Petrowski avec le comédien et réalisateur Simon-Olivier Fecteau, tous les ingrédients y sont pour que la sauce prenne. Financer son film en vendant de la drogue, critiquer le rôle des médias, détester la France tout autant que l’opinion du milieu artistique, ce soir-là on a mangé épicé chez les Durocher-Martineau. Mais la question qui brûle les lèvres: qui est le plus humble, Nathalie ou Simon-Oliver?

Why do we say that God created out of nothing? Is God a being like any other being, only bigger? Does God relate to creation in the way that I relate to my car? Or is God intimately involved in every moment of our existence? And what difference does it make to see our own existence as a gift?Simon Oliver is the Van Mildert Professor of Divinity in the Department of Theology and Religion at Durham University, and a residentiary canon of Durham Cathedral. He is the author of Creation: A Guide for the Perplexed.For more about Simon Oliver, see here.

For their first publisher spotlight of 2016, Andy and Derek focus on the new wave of titles from Vertigo, those being launched between October and December of last year. As you might expect, this is an extra long episode of the podcast because the guys discuss twelve new series, and some of them already with three and four issues released. These include: The Twilight Children, by Gilbert Hernandez and Darwyn Cooke Survivors' Club, by Lauren Beukes, Dale Halvorsen, and Ryan Kelly Clean Room, by Gail Simone and Jon Davis-Hunt Art Ops, by Shaun Simon and Michael Allred Unfollow, by Rob Williams and Mike Dowling Slash and Burn, by Si Spencer, Max Dunbar, and Ande Parks Red Thorn, by David Baillie and Meghan Hetrick Jacked, by Eric Kripke and John Higgins Sheriff of Babylon, by Tom King and Mitch Gerads New Romancer, by Peter Milligan and Brett Parson Last Gang in Town, by Simon Oliver and Rufus Dayglo Lucifer, by Holly Black and Lee Garbett Both Derek and Andy enjoy almost all of these titles, but there are a few that really stand out for them -- and they spend a disproportionate time discussing -- including The Twilight Children, Unfollow, Jacked, and Sheriff of Babylon. They also use their analysis of Lucifer to segue into a brief coverage of The Sandman: Overture, Deluxe Edition. The first of that six-issues miniseries was part of the guys' earlier Vertigo spotlight back in November 2013, and a central component of that publisher's previous wave of new titles, but the collected edition was just released late last year. Although it had an unusually long incubation period, The Sandman: Overture does help Andy and Derek juxtapose Vertigo's two big release efforts, leading them into a discussion of possible new directions the publisher may be going.
