In this episode we replay our biggest mistakes, the worst sketches from 2024. When we say worst. Of course we don't really mean they're the worst. Except for maybe, the first one. It's the Rev Stef doing Slayer doing The Phantom of the Opera…...so yeah. But there's fun stuff like Jezebel, she's pretty promiscuous (allegedly). And Lord Byron he's very promiscuous (definitely). There's demonic Vocaloids, Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel! The Wanky Pranks guy is back. There's sketches about Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Motley Crue, Ratt, Taylor Swift, Shirley Temple and Motorhead. It's a spectrum. Subscribe, rate, and offer your odours in golden vials. Because if Heaven's real, it's a fart-filled eternity on your knees.This podcast runs on sin and money. Mostly money. Worship at our Patreon YHWH never tipped us anyway.

How to Instantly Upgrade Your Apparel Tech Sketches Using Adobe Illustrator If you want manufacturers to take you seriously from the very first sketch, your tech drawings have to speak their language. In this episode of the Business of Apparel Podcast, Rachel breaks down one of the most overlooked professional upgrades in apparel design...using stitch and symbol libraries in Adobe Illustrator. This is a live, step-by-step demo that shows how the best designers save time, reduce costly sample mistakes, and instantly elevate how their tech packs are received. You'll learn why manually drawing stitches is one of the biggest red flags manufacturers see, how stitch codes translate visually on garments, and how using the right tools can drastically reduce revisions, sampling costs, and production delays. Rachel also demonstrates how to download, install, and permanently save Illustrator libraries so they're always accessible, making your workflow faster and more professional every time you design.

February is Black History Month—a time to honor and celebrate the contributions of African Americans. As a music teacher, this prompts me to pause and evaluate what I'm teaching, but also why. I ask questions like:How much diversity is present in my students' method books and repertoire?Which pieces should we skip due to their complicated history?How can I make more thoughtful, informed choices about the music I put in front of my students—choices that are pedagogically sound and historically responsible?This year, I want to focus more on the existing repertoire and the creators behind it. In this episode, I'm going to introduce you to seven Black composers of elementary and intermediate piano repertoire.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: some of the links in this episode are affiliate links, which means if you decide to purchase through any of them, I will earn a small commission.

In this episode of Bonfire Conversations, I sit down with composer and sound designer Mick Gordon for an in-depth conversation about his career, creative process, and approach to music.Mick Gordon is best known for his work on video games such as DOOM, DOOM Eternal, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Prey, and Killer Instinct. His music for the DOOM franchise helped redefine how heavy music functions in interactive media and earned widespread industry recognition, including Best Music at The Game Awards 2016. His work has since influenced films, trailers, and games across the industry.In this conversation, Mick reflects on his childhood and early influences in Australia, the path that led him to composing, and key turning points in his career. He discusses his philosophy of “change the process, change the outcome,” perfectionism, working under pressure and deadlines, and how he approaches finding a distinct creative voice in an evolving industry. The discussion also touches on his recent work on Routine and the design decisions behind its soundscape.The episode concludes with Penny for Your Thoughts, a lighter segment exploring Mick's influences, favorites, and broader reflections on creativity.Bonfire Conversations is a podcast focused on the creative mind—how artists think, adapt, and evolve across disciplines.

together."Nl: Anouk glimlachte voor het eerst die dag.En: Anouk smiled for the first time that day.Nl: "Ik vind dat een mooi idee," antwoordde ze zacht, voelend dat haar hart langzaam openging.En: "I think that's a wonderful idea," she replied softly, feeling her heart slowly opening.Nl: Ze praatten urenlang, zittend op het koude zand, terwijl de zon onderging en de sterren verschenen.En: They

"Particularly bright and joyous" [THOR] Forget about the silence you might think is suggested by the word "pantomime." British panto is a raucous, musical, holiday tradition that expects the audience to be as loud as possible, booing the villain and cheering the hero. It's usually a comic, theatrical retelling of a fairy tale — like Cinderella or Aladdin — with slapstick for the kids, cheeky innuendo for the adults, and a cast that includes a campy "Dame" (a man in an over-the-top dress). Now Holmes, Watson, and the world of 221B have been lovingly added to the panto tradition in Sherlock Holmes and the 12 Days of Christmas, playing through January 18, 2026, at England's Birmingham Rep. The show is also a genuine whodunnit: West End stars are being murdered in mid performance. Can Sherlock Holmes solve the case? It's all the work of our guests Humphrey Ker and David Reed, writers and stars whose love of the Victorian Age, history, and classic literature has infused almost twenty years of collaboration. You'll hear about their work creating radio plays for the BBC, stage shows for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and their adventures as two-thirds of the comedy troupe "The Penny Dreadfuls." You'll also learn how Sherlock Holmes and the 12 Days of Christmas came about, and how it came to inspire new songs by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber — creators of some of the most enduring musicals in history. Then it's on to our review of Sherlockian society activities in the second half of January in "The Learned Societies" segment. The remarkable Madeline Quinones caps her series of Holmesian podcast reviews with her final report in "A Chance of Listening," with our thanks and admiration. And the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a prize from the IHOSE vaults for the winner.

Join BeFluent - https://bit.ly/3PnVR6uОдним из ранних эпизодов, повлиявших на мировоззрение Ивана Сергеевича Тургенева, стала история с крепостным охотником Андреем, жившим в родовом имении Спасское-Лутовиново. Андрей отличался редким мастерством охоты и хорошо знал местные леса. Тургенев часто ходил с ним на охоту, разговаривал и внимательно слушал его рассказы о природе и деревенской жизни.Однажды мать писателя, Варвара Петровна, узнала, что Андрей взял барское ружьё без разрешения. За этот проступок она приказала наказать его телесно, что было обычной практикой в помещичьей среде того времени. Молодой Тургенев болезненно воспринимал такие меры и настаивал на том, что унижение и насилие недопустимы.Он решительно выступил против решения матери и заявил, что если наказание будет исполнено, он покинет дом. Его протест подействовал. Варвара Петровна отменила наказание, а Андрею вскоре было даровано освобождение.Считается, что именно такие наблюдения и личные переживания укрепили в Тургеневе гуманистические взгляды и впоследствии нашли отражение в «Записках охотника», где тема достоинства и внутреннего мира простого человека становится центральной.One of the early episodes that shaped Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev's worldview was the story of a serf huntsman named Andrey, who lived on the family estate of Spasskoye-Lutovinovo. Andrey was known for his exceptional hunting skills and deep knowledge of the surrounding forests. Turgenev often went hunting with him, engaged in conversation, and listened attentively to his stories about nature and rural life.One day, Turgenev's mother, Varvara Petrovna, learned that Andrey had taken the master's hunting rifle without permission. For this offense, she ordered him to be punished with corporal punishment, which was a common practice among landowners at the time. The young Turgenev was deeply troubled by such measures and insisted that humiliation and violence were unacceptable.He strongly opposed his mother's decision and declared that if the punishment were carried out, he would leave the estate. His protest had an effect. Varvara Petrovna canceled the punishment, and Andrey was soon granted his freedom.It is believed that episodes like this strengthened Turgenev's humanistic views, which would later be reflected in A Sportsman's Sketches, where the dignity and inner world of ordinary people became central themes.Telegram Channel - https://t.me/befluentinrussian

Join BeFluent - https://bit.ly/3PnVR6uИван Тургенев родился в 1818 году в дворянской семье в имении Спасское-Лутовиново. Его детство прошло среди полей, лесов и большого усадебного дома. Мать Тургенева была очень строгой женщиной и часто жестоко обращалась с крепостными. Маленький Иван видел это и переживал. Из-за этого он рано понял, что несправедливость и насилие — это плохо. Позже это станет важной темой в его книгах.Тургенев получил хорошее образование. Он учился в университетах в Москве и Петербурге, а потом поехал в Берлин, где изучал философию и европейскую культуру. Это сделало его человеком открытого взгляда, интересующимся новыми идеями и развитием общества.Первые большие успехи Тургенева связаны с книгой «Записки охотника». Это сборник рассказов о жизни крестьян. В этих рассказах он впервые показал крестьян как людей с богатой душой, мыслями и чувствами. Многие читатели тогда увидели крепостных по-новому. Говорят, что эта книга даже повлияла на решение об отмене крепостного права.Позже он написал свои главные романы:«Рудин» — о человеке, который много говорит, но мало делает.«Дворянское гнездо» — о тихой и печальной любви.«Отцы и дети» — о конфликте старшего и молодого поколения.«Отцы и дети» вызвали большие споры. Одни говорили, что Тургенев высмеивает новое поколение, другие — что он защищает его. Но на самом деле Тургенев просто хотел понять обе стороны.Большую часть жизни Тургенев провёл за границей, особенно во Франции. Там жила женщина, которую он очень любил — певица Полина Виардо. Но, даже живя далеко, он всегда оставался русским писателем: продолжал писать о России, о её людях и её судьбе.Иван Тургенев умер во Франции в 1883 году.Ivan Turgenev was born in 1818 into a noble family on the estate of Spasskoye-Lutovinovo. His childhood passed among fields, forests, and a large country house. Turgenev's mother was a very strict woman and often treated the serfs harshly. Young Ivan saw this and felt upset. Because of this, he understood early that injustice and violence are wrong. Later, this became an important theme in his books.Turgenev received a good education. He studied at universities in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and then went to Berlin, where he studied philosophy and European culture. This made him a person with an open mind, interested in new ideas and the development of society.Turgenev first became well-known with his book A Sportsman's Sketches. This is a collection of stories about the life of peasants. In these stories he showed peasants as people with rich inner lives, thoughts, and feelings. Many readers saw serfs differently after this book. It is said that the book even influenced the decision to end serfdom in Russia.Later he wrote his major novels:Rudin — about a person who talks a lot but does little.Home of the Gentry (Nest of the Gentry) — about quiet and sad love.Fathers and Sons — about the conflict between the older and younger generations.Fathers and Sons caused many arguments. Some people said Turgenev was against the new generation; others said he supported it. But in reality, Turgenev simply wanted to understand both sides.Turgenev spent much of his life abroad, especially in France. The woman he loved, the singer Pauline Viardot, lived there. But even while living far away, he remained a Russian writer: he continued to write about Russia, its people, and its future.Ivan Turgenev died in France in 1883.Telegram Channel - https://t.me/befluentinrussian

Brian Thompson chats with Carl Richards — Certified Financial Planner™, creator of The New York Times “Sketch Guy” column, and bestselling author of “The Behavior Gap” and “The One-Page Financial Plan.” Carl's simple Sharpie sketches have transformed how millions of people think and talk about money. In his latest book, “Your Money: Reimagining Wealth in Simple Sketches”, he shares 101 drawings and essays designed to spark deeper conversations about money, values, and what matters most. In this conversation, Brian and Carl dive into the emotional side of money and debate whether money actually can buy happiness. Episode Highlights A good sketch can start a conversation. Carl said the impetus behind his new book is simple: we're not talking about money in the right way. Instead of focusing on financial “noise” like markets and TV pundits, he wanted to give people tools to have conversations that align money with their values. “Really good financial decisions happen when we make a little bit of meaning out of money,” Carl said. “We're getting clear about our purpose.” Money = feelings. Carl's first sketch in the book, and arguably the most powerful, is simply, “Money = Feelings.” He emphasized that money evokes an emotional response, whether that's anxiety, freedom, or joy. “We're not talking about spreadsheets and calculators,” Carl said. Order can be powerful. Bringing order to chaos can provide a sense of control when life feels overwhelming. Whether it's finally sorting through a pile of unopened mail or cleaning the garage, creating a sense of order can help ease anxiety and overwhelm. “There are so many global things going on that are out of our control,” Carl said. “If you feel nervous or scared, go clean the garage, do the dishes, do something that gives you a sense of control and order.” Money can buy happiness — if you spend it right. Can money buy happiness? Carl believes the answer is yes — if you know how to spend it. Money spent on meaningful experiences with loved ones or exerting more freedom over your time is money well spent. “Nobody wants more money,” he said. “They want what they think money will give them, and if you don't do the work to figure out the difference, then more money won't buy you happiness.” Resources + Links Carl's newest book: “Your Money: Reimagining Wealth in Simple Sketches” Bulk order “Your Money: Reimagining Wealth in Simple Sketches” and save an additional 5% by using the code YourMoney5 at checkout Carl's other books: The Behavior Gap and The One-Page Financial Plan Episode 40: Making Complex Ideas Simple with Carl Richards Carl's podcast: Behavior Gap Radio The Society of Advice online community of financial planners Carl's New York Times column Follow Carl Richards Online: Website, Instagram, X, LinkedIn Brian Thompson Financial: Website, Newsletter, Podcast Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast Brian Thompson, JD/CFP, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.
