P1 Kulturs programledare Roger Wilson får sällskap av kollegorna Lisa Bergström och Emma Engström för att summera kulturveckan som gått. Bland annat kommer det att handla om bioaktuella Wicked For Good... Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

Varför är kultur ett oumbärligt redskap för nationer som vill ha mer makt och inflytande i världen? Hör Martin Gelin, aktuell med boken Mjuk makt! Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Begreppet soft power – mjuk makt – myntades 1990 av statsvetaren Joseph Nye, men själva strategin, att använda kultur för att stärka sin makt, är flera tusen år gammal. Dagens P1 Kultur gästas av journalisten och författaren Martin Gelin, som i dag ger ut "Mjuk makt – kultur och propaganda i den nya världsordningen". Boken pekar på hur kultur både kan användas för att stärka demokratier, men också för att undergräva dem. I en orolig värld, med krig och konflikter, kan kultursatsningar framstå som mindre viktiga, men faktum är att i dag satsar till exempel Ryssland och Kina stora resurser på att stärka sitt globala inflytande med hjälp av kultur. Vad står på spel och vad kan hända om den demokratiska världen inte hänger med?SYDKOREAS MJUKA MAKTEtt tydligt exempel på ett land som använder sin kultur för att bygga relationer, skapa förståelse och stärka sitt inflytande internationellt är Sydkorea. För genom bland annat serier, K-drama, koreansk mat och mode och inte minst popmusik, K-pop, har Sydkorea lyckat sprida sin kultur till en stor internationell publik. Idag är Sydkorea världens sjunde största musikmarknad. Och för svenska låtskrivare kan den koreanska musikmarknaden vara en stor möjlighet att slå igenom globalt och tjäna pengar. Hör Maria Askerfjord Sundebys reportage om hur Sydkorea blev en kulturell stormakt.ACTION OCH HEMBRÄNT I NYA FINSKA FILMERDen här veckan har två finska filmer premiär på svenska biografer. Dels är det uppföljaren till den stenhårda actionfilmen och internationella succén ”Sisu” från 2022 – "Sisu": Road to revenge" – och dels komedin "100 liter guld" som är Finlands Oscarsbidrag. P1 Kulturs Emma Engström har sett båda.ZARA LARSSONS FORMTOPPDet är mycket nu för artisten Zara Larsson! I somras gav hon ut "Midnight sun" och det var första gången hon var med och skrev all musik till ett album. För första gången har hon också blivit Grammy-nominerad – albumets titellåt är med i kategorin "Bästa danspoplåt” och i morgon 20 november släpps dokumentären "Zara Larsson. Up close". Nu är hon på turné och det har blivit dags för tre spelningar på hemmaplan, senare i vinter väntar en lång turné i USA. P1 Kulturs Björn Jansson har träffat Zara Larsson.RADIOESSÄ: KINAKROGAR I VÄRLDENI Sveriges har det funnits kinarestauranger i drygt 60 år och den typiska maten kommer från det kantonesiska köket. Rätterna, som anpassades till det svenska 70-talets råvaror och smaker, har blivit kritiserad för att inte var tillräckligt "äkta". Men, faktum är att det i hela världen finns kinakrogar som tagit intryck av lokala förutsättningar och i dagens OBS berättar sinologen och författaren Lin Herngren om hur de tillsammans bildar de en fascinerande historia av matkultur, tillhörighet och främlingskap.Programledare Lisa BergströmProducent Maria Götselius

Reporting from West Hollywood, in a rock 'n' roll hotel with no parties and no drugs as house rules. We take a walk down Sunset Boulevard and into the strange engine of L.A.: a city built almost entirely on imagination, storytelling and constant reinvention. From Mulholland's aqueduct to the studios that wrote America's myths, we asks: what does a place like this tell us about capitalism, churn and the Uber-ised, gigged-out modern economy? From there, we fly back into something touchier: Ireland's relationship with the United States. We lay out just how dependent Ireland is on U.S. investment, jobs and tax, and then ask why so much of the Irish left, especially what he calls the “presidential left”, is reflexively anti-American. We unpack third-worldism, neutrality as moral performance, climate politics as a Trojan horse, and the growing gap between Áras rhetoric and how ordinary Irish people actually live, work and travel in a world where America is still our best friend Hosted on Acast.

Everyone keeps talking about “10x energy.”More action. More output. More expansion.But what if the real wealth — the rich-as-fck* energy — isn't about going harder, it's about going deeper?In this potent conversation, Laura Patricia Martin sits down with Megan Harfield, a feminine leadership mentor redefining what it means to be powerful, prosperous, and deeply feminine in business.Together, they dismantle the hustle-coded version of success that teaches women to “go big or go home,” and explore what it means to live from open, receptive power instead — the kind that doesn't burn out, but magnetizes.They dive into the dark feminine, the truth about intimacy in high-ticket spaces, and why authentic leadership isn't about the illusion of strength — it's about depth, honesty, and wholeness.If you've ever felt like you have to dim your power to be liked, or keep proving your worth to be paid — this conversation will unlock a richer, truer frequency of leadership and wealth.Inside, we talk about:- Why “10x energy” keeps high-achieving women broke and disconnected- The difference between *high-vibe* and *true-vibe* wealth- How the dark feminine holds the codes for intimacy, magnetism, and money- Reconciling the parts of yourself that have been shamed or exiled- Why leadership isn't about performance, but presence- Power that doesn't harm — how to lead without self-abandonment- Reframing “quantum leaps” as homecomings to your truth- The secret to high-ticket sales: it's not proximity, it's intimacyMemorable Sound Bites“What makes something high-ticket isn't proximity — it's intimacy.”“For the deep feminine, a quantum leap is just a homecoming.”“I disagree with the idea that a leader must always appear strong to be trustworthy.”“Your power isn't dangerous — your disconnection from it is.”“True wealth is found in depth, not effort.”Similar EpisodesEp. 171: The Frequency of Wealth — Leading From Depth, Not HustleEp. 182: Healing the Hustle — Reclaiming the Soft Power of the Feminine LeaderEp. 189: Quantum Leaps and the Dark Feminine — Trusting the Depth Instead of the DramaYour Next MoveIf this episode cracked something open in you, screenshot it, share it to your Stories, and tag @itslaurapatriciamartin and @softxsavagepodcast.Tell us what “rich-as-f*ck” energy means to you — we'll be cheering as you rise in depth, not depletion.Resource Links⁠Apply for Soft x Savage Mastermind⁠ — My 12-month mastermind for high-level women building legacy as wives, mothers, and CEOs.Download Magnetic Messaging Mini-Training — $22 for instant depth, power, and conviction in your content.Laura's Amazon Favorites — My daily essentials for building a life and a home with elegance and edge.

What does it look like to stand faithfully beside someone whose calling places them in the spotlight? When God's plan for your life means serving quietly, supporting steadfastly, and shining with grace in the background, it can be easy to feel unseen or misunderstood. Yet, what if that quiet faithfulness is exactly where God intends to use you most?In this episode, Tracie and Abigail continue the season theme “Cast Down Your Bucket Where You Are” with a thoughtful look at the life of Sarah Polk, wife of U.S. President James K. Polk. Known for her unwavering femininity, Christian conviction, and loyalty to her husband's purpose, Sarah's life reflects the strength of a woman devoted to service over recognition. Through engaging conversation and spiritual reflection, Tracie and Abigail remind listeners that influence doesn't always come from power—it often flows from faithfulness, grace, and steadfast obedience right where God has placed you.If you know of someone who can be helped by listening to the Abundant Living Podcast, please share this episode with them.

In Episode 64, hosts Hanaa and Lucien kick off by catching up on more travel and some interesting feedback they received. Then Hanaa leads a DEEPDIVE on how Saudi Arabia is building a national skills ecosystem to reshape its economy and elevate its global influence - and leaning on the power of cultural storytelling as it transforms itself. That's a facet of Vision 2030 that isn't headline-grabbing and is a patient build over time, but starting to pay off for the Kingdom. Skills are no longer just a workforce issue; they are a strategic asset - one Saudi Arabia is seeking to leverage to and through 2030. The hosts then get into some interesting news emerging from the Kingdom, including Saudi Arabia's ambitious infrastructure projects, a coffee-driven IPO boom, and leadership changes.

In this episode of Energy Vista, Leslie Palti-Guzman sits down with global #gas and #power expert Ira Joseph to discuss Qatar's #LNG strategy and relations between the world's two top exporters: the United States and Qatar.Leslie opens the conversation with a provocative framing: are we heading toward a Yalta-style collusion between Washington and Doha—where each claims its sphere of influence (Qatar in Asia, US in the Atlantic)? Or are we on the brink of a collision—a full-blown market share war in an oversupplied LNG world?Together, Leslie and Ira unpack: How Qatar's LNG expansion fits into its soft power strategy The current LNG market demand/supply balance with the upper end to the buyers Why the US exports cannot be centrally coordinated like Qatar's The role of shipping disruptions (e.g. Red Sea, Panama Canal) in shaping trade flows Europe's place in the US-Qatar equation What this all means for buyers navigating an increasingly geopolitical gas market

Today's guest is an absolute powerhouse of a mentor and a former 1:1 client of mine who I consider a friend by now. She is one of those women who embody what happens when you stop trying to shrink yourself into what the industry tells you to be – and instead go all in on who the fuck you actually are. Mirjam Novy has built not just one, but TWO magnetic online brands over the past 7 years – and she did not do so by obsessing over trends and rules. Instead, she showed up as her bold, intense, messy, real self. Now she helps other women build their EMPOWERED EMPIRES by turning their “too muchness” into their biggest superpower. We're diving deep into all things identity shifts and stepping into the next level, stripping away the non-literal filter, showing up as your true self, the correlation between healing work and success, fears when entering a breakthrough, the importance of embodying health feminine and masculine energy, and so much more! So babe, grab your cacao or matcha and a journal, because you're going to want to take notes and implement these golden nuggets! Curious about getting mentored 1-1 by me like Mirjam to upgrade your health, wealth and love life?I have ONE spot open for private coaching starting in December to lay the inner & outer grounds for 2026: CLAIM YOUR SPOT TO WORK WITH ME IN A PRIVATE SETTING HEREWhat's possible, you might wonder?In Mirjam's words:"The realization that I could finally SCALE once I learned how to balance my masculine and feminine energy was life-changing. I discovered that scaling doesn't work if you're hustling yourself to death, because it will never feel safe or fun. Now, for the first time, it feels safe to scale and I didn't even realize before that it hadn't felt safe. I think that's such an important point to highlight, because I think a lot of women are unaware of this (like I was).Another powerful piece is definitely how I transformed my love life. The love and appreciation I receive from the men in my life right now is iiiiinsane and I'm finally able to fully receive it."In this episode, we discuss: 00:40 - Intro to today's guest - a powerhouse mentor & former 1:1 client of mine, Mirjam Novy03:40 - Mirjam's journey and the identity shifts that allowed her to unlock her next level20:15 - Stripping away the non-literal filter in order to show up as your true & authentic self 27:25 - The correlation between identity & healing work, and success in your career36:35 - How to move through fear when entering a messy breakthrough season40:30 - Why embodying healthy masculine and feminine energy is so life-changing 51:50 - How Mirjam flipped being feminine in her business and masculine in dating59:45 - Mirjam's top tip Unfuck Your Life that you can integrate ASAPSimilar Episode: Episode 112: Becoming a top 1% feminine leader and creating a balanced lifestyle with Corinne DeFilippis—--Connect with Mirjam: Mirjam's Website: https://mirjamnovy.com/Mirjam's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ownitmirjamnovy/German Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mirjam.novy/Mirjam's Podcast: Tune into OWNING WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE here!Connect with Laura: Laura's Website: https://www.lauraherde.com/Laura's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laura.herde/Laura's 1-1 Coaching: https://www.lauraherde.com/application-1-1Laura's Coaching Certification Course: https://www.instagram.com/embodiedcoachacademy/More free resources for you:*FREE* HEAL YOUR FEMININE ENERGY GUIDE⁠*FREE* MASTERCLASS: THE ART OF ATTRACTION (MEN & MONEY)>> EMAIL ME TO CONNECT/ ASK QUESTIONS: hello@lauraherde.com>> FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM: @laura.herde Feel free to share this episode with your bestie, and tag us on IG when you listen so we can repost you!Make sure to be subscribed to UNFUCK YOUR LIFE, we publish episodes every single Tuesday.Thank you so much for tuning in, love xx

In this special birthday episode of Tea with Self, I reflect on turning 48, not as another year passing, but as a homecoming. This year feels different: lighter, softer, more grounded in who I am. I'm no longer chasing; I'm simply being. I share the quiet lessons that have shaped me through the decades, that ageing isn't decline but deepening, that peace is found in presence, and that self-love is a daily devotion, not a destination. From letting go of old patterns to tending to myself with softness and grace, this is an episode about embracing the woman I've become while welcoming the one I'm still becoming. Because every year is both a continuation and a new beginning, a reminder that the best is yet to come, and that we are already whole, already enough, right here, right now.

Tureckie seriale to dziś coś więcej niż rozrywka. To narzędzie wpływu, eksport emocji i wizji świata, które Turcja świadomie wykorzystuje jako soft power. Jak to się stało, że tureckie produkcje stały się drugim największym eksportowym hitem po Hollywood?O fenomenie tureckich seriali, ich globalnym sukcesie, politycznym wymiarze i wpływie na wizerunek Turcji rozmawiamy z Zuzanną Krzyżanowską-ekspertką OSW

Oxmo Puccino, poète et rappeur incontournable de la scène française, et Samah Karaki, neuroscientifique et autrice du livre Le talent est une fiction, sont mes invités pour un échange aussi puissant qu'intime sur le thème du talent. Ils ne se connaissaient pas avant cette rencontre mais ce sont 2 amis que je connais depuis longtemps pour Oxmo et plus récemment pour Samah.Cet épisode est réalisé en partenariat avec Breakbuild (merci mille fois Amaury)Ensemble, nous avons décidé de faire dialoguer deux personnes qui ne se connaissaient pas encore, mais que je connais profondément. L'idée ? Croiser deux regards – artistique et scientifique – sur une notion qui structure nos vies : le talent.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons du mythe du génie solitaire, des conditions matérielles invisibles qui rendent possible (ou non) l'expression du talent, du soft power des artistes, et de la pression sociale exercée sur ceux qui ont « réussi ». J'ai questionné Samah sur l'origine de son livre, sur l'illusion méritocratique, sur les biais sociaux qui invisibilisent tant de trajectoires. Et j'ai demandé à Oxmo comment il s'est construit en tant qu'artiste, comment il pense la création, la beauté, la transmission, et sa liberté vis-à-vis des injonctions économiques du monde de l'art.On parle aussi de Mozart, de Picasso, des pyramides d'Égypte, de l'enfance et de cette capacité incroyable que nous avons à nous émerveiller… ou à nous habituer. Une conversation sensible, posée, sans posture. Merci à Samah et Oxmo pour leur justesse, leur douceur, leur intelligence vive. C'est un épisode rare, comme je les aime.5 citations marquantes« Le talent est une promesse. » – Oxmo Puccino« Ce que nous sommes est en grande, grande partie fait de circonstances. » – Samah Karaki« Le talent est fait pour être gâché. Beaucoup moins le travail. » – Oxmo Puccino« Comprendre ne tue pas l'émerveillement. » – Samah Karaki« On ne crée pas pour vendre. On partage une émotion. » – Oxmo Puccino10 questions structurées posées dans l'interviewPourquoi as-tu écrit un livre sur le talent ?Comment t'es-tu construit en tant qu'artiste ?Qu'est-ce que le talent signifie pour toi ?Que penses-tu de la notion de mérite ?En quoi les conditions sociales influencent-elles l'émergence du talent ?Peut-on séparer la personne de son œuvre ?Comment abordes-tu ton processus créatif ?Penses-tu que la création artistique doit être rentable ?Que reste-t-il de la beauté universelle aujourd'hui ?Comment la stabilité affective influence-t-elle un parcours ?Timestamps clés pour YouTube00:00 – Introduction de l'épisode et rencontre des invités01:00 – Samah explique la genèse de son livre sur le talent03:00 – Oxmo raconte sa construction artistique06:00 – Débat sur la notion de talent comme construction sociale10:00 – L'influence des conditions socio-économiques15:00 – Le népotisme et la complexité de l'héritage familial20:00 – La beauté, le mystère et le rôle de l'émerveillement30:00 – Le talent face à la norme et aux attentes du public40:00 – Le processus créatif : émotion ou stratégie ?50:00 – Peut-on encore créer librement ?1:02:00 – Clôture, gratitude et réflexions finales Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #358 Raphaël Quenard & Charles Pépin : la solitude comme force vitale - confidences croisées (https://audmns.com/vZzkTNd) #337 Le piège de l'empathie avec Samah Karaki (https://audmns.com/CVkTKJQ) #206 Comment développer l'esprit critique chez les enfants?

China's soft power strategy has been largely unable to resonate with global audiences, but Labubus have taken the world by storm. From Thailand to Texas, Pop Mart stores are popping up to satiate consumers' desire for these collectable toys. Contrary to state-backed soft power strategies, Labubus tapped into organic market-driven trends, such as blind-box culture, to reach a wide and dedicated audience. Labubus can also serve as a gateway to China, introducing people to Chinese artists and incentivizing them to visit POPLAND in Beijing to collect exclusive toys. Are Labubus the exception to China's previous soft power pursuits, or a sign of a successful new strategy?  Natalia Cote-Muñoz joined us in September 2025 to share how Labubus are resonating across different cultures and changing the way people perceive China.  Learn more about the speaker and watch the video

President Trump is not a fan of the United Nations—he made that clear in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly today. Under Trump, the United States has pulled back from several efforts, including U.N. organizations, that have contributed to the country's so-called soft power goals. On the show today, Joshua Eisenman, professor of politics in the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame, joins Kimberly to discuss the changing role of the U.S. in global politics and how China is seizing this moment to gain more influence.Here's everything we talked about today:"Trump tells UN in speech that it is 'not even coming close to living up' to its potential" from AP News"Geopolitics of Trump Tariffs: How U.S. Trade Policy Has Shaken Allies" from Council on Foreign Relations"How China Stands to Gain as the U.S. Steps Away From the U.N." from The New York Times"The Global South Won't Give Up on China" from Foreign RelationsIt's Marketplace's Fall Fundraiser!

Part 1 Shownotes In this eye-opening first part of a special two-part episode of "Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu," Tom sits down with Mike Benz—former State Department official, executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, and a leading authority on the intersection of technology, media, and soft power. Benz unpacks the tangled web of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the shifting dynamics of global influence, and how soft power has supplanted traditional warfare in the modern era. Tom and Mike go deep into the true origins and motivations behind NGOs, illuminating how many of these organizations operate as statecraft tools, intelligence fronts, and economic levers for the world's elite. From the rise of philanthropic organizations as vehicles for influence to the coordinated manipulation of global media, Part 1 shines a light on the hidden infrastructure behind democracy building, narrative control, and regime change. Mike exposes the intricate interplay between hedge funds, government foreign policy, media, and activism—detailing how policy and profit become inextricably linked through a process he dubs "drafting off of policy." If you've ever questioned who really pulls the strings behind elections, color revolutions, and the headlines you read every day, this episode will give you a radical new lens through which to see the world.
