To celebrate Melvyn Bragg's 27 years presenting In Our Time, five well-known fans of the programme have chosen their favourite episodes. Author and columnist Caitlin Moran has picked the episode on the English medieval mystic Margery Kempe and recorded an introduction to it. Margery Kempe (1373-1438) produced an account of her extraordinary life in a book she dictated, "The Book of Margery Kempe." She went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, to Rome and Santiago de Compostela, purchasing indulgences on her way, met with the anchoress Julian of Norwich and is honoured by the Church of England each 9th November. She sometimes doubted the authenticity of her mystical conversations with God, as did the authorities who saw her devotional sobbing, wailing and convulsions as a sign of insanity and dissoluteness. Her Book was lost for centuries, before emerging in a private library in 1934.This In Our Time episode was first broadcast in June 2016. The image (above), of an unknown woman, comes from a pew at Margery Kempe's parish church, St Margaret's, Kings Lynn and dates from c1375.WithMiri Rubin Professor of Medieval and Early Modern History at Queen Mary, University of LondonKatherine Lewis Senior Lecturer in History at the University of HuddersfieldAndAnthony Bale Professor of Medieval Studies at Birkbeck University of LondonProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:John H.

Religion and urban life are the most successful strategies of handling, enhancing, and capitalizing on human sociability. By integrating religious studies, archaeology, and spatial theory, Emiliano Rubens Urciuoli aims to re-describe the formation of Christ religion as urban religion in Citifying Jesus: The Making of a Roman Religion in the Roman Empire (Mohr Siebeck, 2024). Spanning almost four centuries of Christian literature from Paul to Augustine, the author shows that several characteristics commonly attributed to Christ religion are, in fact, outcomes of the distinct ways in which religious agents enact urbanity and interact with the urban space. The study brings the urbanity of religious agents into focus, shedding light on significant elements of religious transformation, innovation, institutionalization, empowerment, and resistance to power. Simultaneously, it explores the key urban features that shaped the emergence and development of Christ religion. Emiliano Rubens Urciuoli is Associate Professor in the Department of History and Cultures at the University of Bologna. Previously he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Max-Weber-Kolleg of the University of Erfurt and has spent research stays in Paris, Berlin, and Geneva. His research interests focus on the history of the ancient Christ religion, methodological advances in the study of ancient Mediterranean religious groups and traditions, issues of theory and method in the accademic study of religions, and the phenomenon of ancient and contemporary urban religion. He is conversant with issues of political theology, sociology of religion, critical theory of space, and critique of ideology (including religious ideologies). Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).

Amerikaanse president Donald Trump sê die beste stap vir Venezuela se president Nicolás Maduro is om uit te tree. Spanning tussen die twee lande is aan die toeneem, te midde van 'n massiewe Amerikaanse vlootopbou in die Karibiese See. Trump plaas druk op Maduro, onder meer met pogings om sy olie-inkomste te verminder. Trump het verlede week 'n volledige blokkering gelas op gesanksioneerde olietenkers wat in en uit Venezuela vaar. Hy het Maduro gewaarsku om nie 'n tawwe tienie te probeer wees nie:

In this episode of Rising For Our Motherlands, we take listeners on a guided tour of two of Oakland's most powerful and politically significant murals: the Oakland to Palestine Solidarity Mural (completed in 2014) and the SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation Mural at Uptown Body and Fender (completed in 2024).Oakland to Palestine Solidarity MuralIn the first part of the episode, we walk listeners through the Oakland to Palestine Solidarity Mural, a monumental public artwork that centers the image of the tree as a global symbol of life, resilience, and resistance.Spanning 157 feet wide and 22 feet tall, the mural is composed of nine individual panels, each painted by a different artist or collective. Through distinct interpretations of the tree motif, the mural draws connections between shared histories of colonization, environmental exploitation, the internal exile of Indigenous peoples, and ongoing struggles for justice.Together, these panels form a stunning public tribute to the human spirit and its unassailable right to thrive in the face of political oppression and injustice—wherever it occurs in the world.SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation MuralLater in the episode, we are joined by Yasmeen, a Bay Area community member involved in the SUMUD mural project, and Al Juthoor, a local Bay Area Dabke group. Yasmeen shares insights into the production process, artistic vision, and political motivations behind the mural.The SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation Mural is a collaborative project between artists and activists in the U.S. and Palestine. It explores and confronts the deep interconnections between systems of incarceration, colonization, and repression in both places, while affirming the vitality of the Palestinian Liberation Movement. The mural serves both as a memorial to this historical moment and as a living expression of collective struggle—locally and globally.In both the U.S. and Palestine, art is often a political act. This mural stands as a testament to the imagination, brilliance, and creativity of resistance, even under conditions of imprisonment and occupation. As Zionist forces enact ongoing death and destruction in Gaza and Palestine, creating this mural together as a community affirms a shared commitment to resistance, solidarity, and liberation.Sumud is an Arabic word meaning the steadfast will to survive, endure, and remain connected to the land.Featured music & audio clips in this episode: Mohammed Assaf, voices of Emory Douglas, Keven Cooper and Um Eyad, various national & international news segments, and chants from students, local Bay Area activists, and organizers.Graphic includes a portrait of Um Eyad by Art Forces lead artist Susan Greene, in collaboration with Peps 357 (Spoon) and Asha Sudra (Kufiyeh).  Podcast art created by nicole gervacio.Learn more: Oakland to Palestine Mural: https://artforces.org/projects/murals/usa/oakland-palestine-solidarity-mural/Sumud Mural: SumudMuralOakland.org

We blikken terug op het seizoen 2025

Michael Doherty, Entertainment Editor at the RTE Guide and arts journalist Zara Hedderman pick out their highlights from a bumper week of Christmas TV specials and major movies. Spanning the big and small screen over Christmas week and into the New Year, their choices include Saipan, Oppenheimer and An Cailín Ciúin.

What began with time zone mix-ups, frozen screens, and a bit of Zoom chaos quickly turned into a conversation that felt meant to be. This episode introduces Three Sisters: Amelia Moses Hicks, Letitia Moses Roestoff, and Zarina Moses Jardine, a global triathlon trio connected by blood, grit, and an unshakable commitment to showing up for one another. Spanning continents and disciplines, one sister runs, one rides, one swims, and together they form a living relay of courage, care, and shared purpose.   Their story starts long before triathlon. Amelia and Letitia earned golf scholarships that carried them from South Africa to the United States, navigating elite competition, cultural shifts, and high expectations. Amelia would go on to turn professional, while Zarina developed into a powerful and confident swimmer. All three learned early how to perform under pressure, stay disciplined, and dig deep when it mattered most. Those formative years on the golf course and in the pool laid the foundation for the endurance mindset that would later carry them through long training days and demanding races.   Their triathlon journeys unfold across continents, shaped by late starts, early doubts, and bold decisions to try anyway. From overcoming fear in open water to completing Ironman races that once felt out of reach, each sister brings a different entry point into the sport, held together by constant encouragement and a deep belief in one another.   The conversation flows between laughter and reflection as they share what it means to race together, train apart yet stay deeply connected, and take up space as women of color in endurance sports. Along the way, there are dreams of future racecations, ocean swims still ahead, cultural moments, and honest advice for beginners. Start where you are. Be consistent. Let the journey change you. And never underestimate what becomes possible when you do not go alone.   Let's Tri This.   Remember to leave a review, share it with your friends, and follow Tri Beginner's luck on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.  And send any questions or feedback you have to  tblpodbiz@tribeginnersluck.com.

Finally out is this eagerly-awaited release of SUNANDBASS Recordings, Hits Me In Waves EP by Mark System. Friends and close members of the SAB family know it's been brewing for the last decade, appearing in bits in aftermovies and we are beyond excited to now share it with the world. ‘Hits Me In Waves' captures the exhilarating experience of being inspired musically, truly falling in love at iconic La Cinta Beach while having fun in the crystal clear waters - all at the same time. Thus, each track of the EP explores a wide range of emotions and moods, expressed in multiple styles within drum & bass; the lead single ‘On An Island', sets the tone with unmatched sound design, rich musical elements, and raw, uncompromising production. Next comes ‘Point Of Reference', built for the dancefloor and eternally young in its refined appeal. ‘Celebration' follows, a powerful track that ties the listening journey together, pairing heavy low-end weight with slick musicality to keep it both melodic and full of energy. ‘Where's The Dog' stands out for its playability and tough bass synthesis, making it the hardest-hitting cut on the record. Closing the EP is the beautiful and introspective ‘Started At The End', a deep dive into Mark's musical mind, offering a classic, emotive finale. Hits Me In Waves is more than just a collection of tracks, it's a reflection of Mark's long-standing relationship with SUNANDBASS and our shared vision for music that speaks to the soul and stands the test of time. Spanning from Ibiza, this release embodies the SAB spirit: pushing the boundaries of drum & bass while fostering connection through rhythm, movement, and community.

Salman Rushdie, longtime friend of 92NY's storied literary community, returns to our stage for a reading and conversation with Daniel Kehlmann about The Eleventh Hour — a supremely inventive new collection about survival, death, and what comes into focus at the proverbial eleventh hour of life. Awarded the Best of Booker for his seminal debut, Midnight's Children — honoring it as the most accomplished novel to ever receive the prestigious literary prize — Salman Rushdie has been probing the depths of identity, history, and mortality to stunning effect for 45 years. In The Eleventh Hour, he turns his extraordinary imagination to life's final act with a quintet of stories that span the three countries in which he has made his work — India, England, and America. Do we accommodate ourselves to death, or rail against it? Do we spend our "eleventh hour" in serenity or in rage? Spanning private tragedy, national calamity, political parable, and simmering mystery, Rushdie's new stories further cement him as one of the boldest writers of our time. Join the internationally renowned, award-winning author for an unforgettable evening of reading and conversation in celebration of survival, freedom of expression, his new collection, and his extraordinary contributions to world literature.

In this episode of Film Ireland Presents, we chat with Margo Harkin, an accomplished and masterful filmmaker who has been directing and producing fiction and documentary work for over forty years. Her films span many aspects of life on the island of Ireland, from chronicling Northern Ireland's political history, to examining the systemic oppression of women, to exploring the healing power of creativity, and much more beyond. The Irish Film Institute has curated a wonderful retrospective of her seminal works, available to watch back on their player now. Radical Witness Retrospective at Irish Film Institute After graduating in Fine Art from the Ulster College of Art and Design in 1974, Harkin worked as an art teacher and community worker in socially deprived areas of Derry. She joined Field Day Theatre Company in 1980 as an Assistant Stage Manager on Brian Friel's Translations, before going on to work as a stage designer for the company. In 1984, Harkin co-founded Derry Film & Video Workshop with Anne Crilly and Trisha Ziff delivering critical perspectives that ran counter to the censored narratives then broadcast by British and Irish television. The signal works of this period were Mother Ireland (1988), Anne Crilly's controversial documentary about feminism and Irish republicanism, and Harkin's own Hush-A-Bye Baby (1990), a feature drama about teenage pregnancy following the 1983 abortion referendum in Ireland. Harkin established Besom Productions in 1992 making educational films for Channel 4 but her reputation as an astute, local documentarian of injustices was soon forged through a series of highly regarded television documentaries. Her cinema films, the surf documentary Waveriders (2003), by Joel Conroy (which she produced), and Stolen (2023), about the plight of unmarried mothers in Ireland in the 20th century, provided thoroughly researched, compelling accounts of their subjects. Margo Harkin is a member of Aosdána. Her work has won countless awards and is widely taught to third-level film and media students. Spanning over four decades, Harkin's work has consistently challenged societal narratives, giving voice to the silenced and bearing witness to the social and political upheavals that have shaped the contemporary Irish landscape. The retrospective will span across the IFI's cinema screens, as well as online via IFI@Home, IFI International and the IFI Archive Player.

The pivotal year of 1870 brought down the curtain on the redcoat garrison world at both the metropolitan and colonial ends of the empire . . . In fewer than forty years, less than a lifetime, Aotearoa had gone from being a Māori world in which rangatira dominated, to a colony in which the settler state was in control of the economy, politics and people's social destiny. Garrison World: Redcoat Soldiers in New Zealand and across the British Empire (Bridget Williams Books, 2025) by Professor Charlotte Macdonald explores the lives of soldiers, sailors and their families stationed in Aotearoa New Zealand and across the British empire in the nineteenth century. Spanning the decades from 1840 to 1870, this major new history from Charlotte Macdonald places the New Zealand Wars within the wider framework of imperial power. It shows how conflict and resistance throughout the empire, from rebellion in India to the Morant Bay uprising in Jamaica, were connected to the colonial project in New Zealand. At the centre of this history are the thousands who served in the British military – from rank-and-file soldiers and bluejackets drawn from working-class Britain and Ireland, to officers from elite backgrounds who purchased their commissions. Their presence in New Zealand was vital to the imposition of imperial control, both during times of war and in the intervening years when the garrison underpinned a fragile settler economy and society. Through rich archival detail and personal accounts, Garrison World traces the structures, experiences and legacies of military occupation. Acknowledging the impact on Māori communities and whenua, the book offers a critical and unflinching account of how imperial authority was imposed – and often violently asserted. This is a compelling and significant contribution to understanding the reordering of power that shaped Aotearoa in the nineteenth century. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In fewer than forty years, less than a lifetime, Aotearoa had gone from being a Māori world in which rangatira dominated, to a colony in which the settler state was in control of the economy, politics and people's social destiny. Garrison World: Redcoat Soldiers in New Zealand and across the British Empire (Bridget Williams Books, 2025) by Professor Charlotte Macdonald explores the lives of soldiers, sailors and their families stationed in Aotearoa New Zealand and across the British empire in the nineteenth century. Spanning the decades from 1840 to 1870, this major new history from Charlotte Macdonald places the New Zealand Wars within the wider framework of imperial power. It shows how conflict and resistance throughout the empire, from rebellion in India to the Morant Bay uprising in Jamaica, were connected to the colonial project in New Zealand. At the centre of this history are the thousands who served in the British military – from rank-and-file soldiers and bluejackets drawn from working-class Britain and Ireland, to officers from elite backgrounds who purchased their commissions. Their presence in New Zealand was vital to the imposition of imperial control, both during times of war and in the intervening years when the garrison underpinned a fragile settler economy and society. Through rich archival detail and personal accounts, Garrison World traces the structures, experiences and legacies of military occupation. Acknowledging the impact on Māori communities and whenua, the book offers a critical and unflinching account of how imperial authority was imposed – and often violently asserted. This is a compelling and significant contribution to understanding the reordering of power that shaped Aotearoa in the nineteenth century. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Weken aan lieve woorden en lobby-bezoekjes aan het Witte Huis gingen eraan vooraf, maar topman Jensen Huang van Nvidia heeft het voor elkaar gekregen. Hij krijgt weer toegang tot de Chinese markt met zijn AI-chips. Tenminste, dat krijgt hij van de Verenigde Staten. Die staan het toe dat een van de meer geavanceerde AI-chips van Nvidia naar China worden geëxporteerd. Nu blijft er nog één probleem over: ook China moet nog overstag. Hoe kan Huang dat voor elkaar krijgen? En hoe blij moeten beleggers met deze eerste stap zijn? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Dan hebben we het ook over het jachtseizoen. De Europese Commissie trapt dat af. Het richt de pijlen nu op Alphabet en hun AI-overviews. Alphabet zou de data daarvoor aftroggelen bij hun gebruikers en misschien wel misbruik maken van hun macht in de zoekmachinemarkt. Opvallend, want ook Meta kreeg onlangs nog een nieuw onderzoek aan de broek vanuit Europa. Dus is Europa de aanval op Amerikaanse techbedrijven weer aan het opvoeren? Verder hoor je over Duitsland. Dat zou al akkoord zijn om een recordbedrag aan defensie-uitgaven te gaan doen. En we vertellen je wanneer jij hier in Europa in een zelfrijdende taxi kan stappen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 This week on the KPL Podcast, we speak with bestselling author Kristi DeMeester about her new novel Dark Sisters. In this fierce and haunting Southern Gothic, DeMeester unravels an intergenerational curse that binds — and torments — the women of Hawthorne Springs, an affluent town ruled by a powerful church known as The Path. Spanning centuries, the story follows three unforgettable protagonists: a pastor's daughter in 2007, a trapped housewife in 1953, and a suspected witch in 1750, each confronting the forces that seek to shape their destinies. Author RecommendationsDiavola by Jennifer ThorneWhite is for Witching by Helen OyeyemiGray Dog by Elliot Gish

Finally out is this eagerly-awaited release of SUNANDBASS Recordings, Hits Me In Waves EP by Mark System. Friends and close members of the SAB family know it's been brewing for the last decade, appearing in bits in aftermovies and we are beyond excited to now share it with the world. ‘Hits Me In Waves' captures the exhilarating experience of being inspired musically, truly falling in love at iconic La Cinta Beach while having fun in the crystal clear waters - all at the same time. Thus, each track of the EP explores a wide range of emotions and moods, expressed in multiple styles within drum & bass; the lead single ‘On An Island', sets the tone with unmatched sound design, rich musical elements, and raw, uncompromising production. Next comes ‘Point Of Reference', built for the dancefloor and eternally young in its refined appeal. ‘Celebration' follows, a powerful track that ties the listening journey together, pairing heavy low-end weight with slick musicality to keep it both melodic and full of energy. ‘Where's The Dog' stands out for its playability and tough bass synthesis, making it the hardest-hitting cut on the record. Closing the EP is the beautiful and introspective ‘Started At The End', a deep dive into Mark's musical mind, offering a classic, emotive finale. Hits Me In Waves is more than just a collection of tracks, it's a reflection of Mark's long-standing relationship with SUNANDBASS and our shared vision for music that speaks to the soul and stands the test of time. Spanning from Ibiza, this release embodies the SAB spirit: pushing the boundaries of drum & bass while fostering connection through rhythm, movement, and community.

1/8. The Deep History of North American Mammals and the Arrival of Human Predators — Dan Flores — Flores's book Wild New World examines North American fauna spanning 66 million years, detailing the evolutionary processes and intercontinental migration patterns that created the diverse Pliocene animal assemblage. Flores argues that Eurasian animals including deer and elk possessed significant adaptive advantages over indigenous species because they possessed millennia of evolutionary experience with humans functioning as apex predators. Flores emphasizes that humans emerged as a distinctive carnivorous mammalian species possessing unprecedented hunting capabilities, ultimately driving them across continents and oceans in search of prey.

https://jrbialik.com/ What if k98% of human history has vanished — along with the wisdom we need most today? In Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge, Jack R. Bialik uncovers more than 300 examples of lost technologies and ideas, from ancient cataract surgery to early batteries, proving that forgotten knowledge could hold the keys to our future survival. Please refer to the press release below for additional information, and let me know if you would like to see a copy of Lost in Time for interview and/or review purposes. Watch an interview with Jack R. Bialik here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UZvpWWZOXY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Groundbreaking New Book Exposes Humanity's Forgotten Wisdom, Revealing How Lost Knowledge Could Shape Future Survival A Fascinating Exploration of More Than 300 Compelling Examples of Missing Historical Information That Humanity Can Learn From Today PHOENIX, Ariz, Nov. 7, 2025 — Only 1.6 percent of human history is recorded in some form, meaning most of humanity's past will remain buried forever. This is just one of the surprises revealed in Jack R. Bialik's Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge, a fascinating book that challenges readers to rethink how much they truly know and how much is waiting to be rediscovered. With bite-sized nuggets of wisdom, Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge takes readers on a captivating exploration of humanity's lost ingenuity and the forgotten knowledge that once shaped civilizations. Spanning centuries and continents, the book uncovers astonishing technologies, philosophies and cultural practices that have been buried under the sands of time — some of which are more advanced than what people use today. Bialik effortlessly confronts the assumption that only modern-day humans are capable of producing innovative feats of technology and brilliance. With meticulous research that spanned over 10 years and compelling storytelling, Bialik highlights how these past innovations could still hold the potential to address modern challenges, from knowledge sustainability to societal resilience. Lost in Time unravels the intricate tapestry of human civilization, weaving together narratives of inventions of yesterday, overlooked pioneers and epoch-defining discoveries that have shaped the modern world. Among the amazing facts readers will learn: • Cataract surgery was being performed in India more than 2000 years ago. • The first known fountain pen was created centuries before Europe “invented” it. • Ancient civilizations debated waste disposal and sanitation solutions that rival or even surpass some modern systems. • When filled with vinegar, an ancient Mesopotamian clay jar called The Baghdad Battery generated electricity, centuries before Volta's experiments. • In the 1930s, the Crypt of Civilization was sealed with 640,000 pages of microfilm, a Donald Duck doll and a Budweiser can — set to be opened in the year 8113 AD. Through thought-provoking analysis, Lost in Time examines the fragile nature of human knowledge and the forces — be they war, natural disasters or changing priorities — that contribute to its disappearance. Bialik highlights just how easily human knowledge can literally vanish, with the burning of the Library of Alexandria in Egypt that possessed nearly half a million scrolls and the destruction of the ancient Mayan civilization's written records, to name just two of many such losses. However, Lost in Time is more than an archive of historical losses. Bialik inspires readers to reconnect with the lessons of the past as a means of fostering a more informed and innovative future. He challenges readers to consider whether humanity is building a legacy of accessible wisdom — or an archive of forgotten lessons.

Balanced Euphoria is a deep, groove-driven, late-night soundtrack designed to bring the room from peak intensity into pure after-hours flow. Spanning just over two hours, this mix is my first set built 100% from STEM files, meaning not a single track is played in its original form. Every moment is reconstructed, re-layered, or re-imagined. Across four decks, the set drifts between smooth transitions, hypnotic rhythms, and melodic textures. Roughly 40% is mixed on all four decks, 50% on three decks, and the remaining 10% on two, giving this mix a constantly shifting, evolving feel. Expect subtle grooves, rolling basslines, and carefully balanced energy — the kind of set I'd play in the final hours of a long night, when the dance floor wants to move but also float. Perfect for late-night drives, creative focus, or anyone who loves progressive, melodic, and atmospheric dance music with intention. As always, here is the track listing....BUT, they may not be in the exact order.  Most of the tracks have STEMs from being used throughout the set, and layered with others, so yoiun will not hear any original segment of a track by itself.   Let the journey unfold.     Artist Title Argia Stella The Chemical Brothers Feels Like I Am Dreaming Kupon Zoom In (Original_Mix) Kollektiv Turmstrasse Sorry I Am Late (Extended) YOZZ The Galaxy (Extended Mix) Yannick Mueller Cobra WhoMadeWho Never Alone (Patrice Bäumel Remix) Yannick Mueller Cuatro JFR Jane Watch The Stars Cassius The Sound Of Violence (Antony Toga Background DiscoVox Version) EANP Hypersonic (Original Mix) Lloyd Barwood Chain of Thoughts Emanuel Satie Resilience (Andhim Remix) Argia Attagirl (Allai's Her Pimp Hand Strong Edit Select) Kölsch Der Alte New Order Temptation (Allai's Quantum Remix) Guztavo PT & Mike Fuentez & Carmen Amaka Let You Go Glass Animals Tear in Space (Allai's Edit Select)

From mysterious lights and missing time to hybrid children and robotic entities, these nine chilling encounters reveal the complex and dark nature of the alien abduction phenomenon. Spanning over three decades, from Wyoming's farmlands to the woods of Pennsylvania, each case carries its own terrifying signature: paralysis, telepathic voices, medical manipulation, and emotional trauma. Some experiencers were shown infants that weren't quite human, while others returned with scars, missing organs, or unexplainable physical changes. Many describe being studied for their psychic sensitivity, as if they are being targeted by forces seeking to harness human consciousness itself. Whether these visitors are extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or something far stranger, their presence leaves behind only fear, silence, and questions that no one can answer.

With special guest Longinus, P&C drink and review Samuel Adams' Jack-O Pumpkin Ale, then wonder why dragons show up in so many cultures around the world. Spanning the east, the west, and the Americas, the boys discuss dragon stories -- what they have in common and how they diverge. * Are they always mean? * Do they always hoard treasure? * Do they always want to eat virgins? * Were they all sea serpents? What they have in common is a monster that represents chaos. In the west, people believed in actual dragons for a long time, then modernism set in and killed the dragons. Tolkien and other fantasy writers revived them. Now we have dragons all over the place again. Jordan Peterson often repeats a theory -- based on evolutionary psychology -- for why dragons developed.

Welcome to “When Words Fail, Music Speaks” – the podcast that harnesses the healing power of song to combat depression, anxiety, and everyday heartbreak.In today's episode we sit down with the multitalented Mark Firehammer—author of the genre‑blending novel The Echo and The Voice, creator of the wellness system Feelness, and a seasoned songwriter whose career spans from Florida coffee‑houses in the ‘90s to AI‑driven studios today.Mark shares the wild road‑trip story of his early touring days, the unexpected love affair he's had with the legendary Cronut, and the pivotal moment when he realized his next album would have to be built without a band. We dive deep into his groundbreaking Artist‑Imagined series, a quartet of AI‑crafted albums—Heartlands (country), Heartthrob (dance), Heartstrings (alternative) and Heartbeats (rock)—and explore how he trains machines to sing in the voices of imagined artists while preserving his own lived experiences.Along the way, we touch on:The rise and challenges of independent musicians in the streaming eraThe moral and creative debates surrounding AI‑generated music and Spotify's new disclosure rulesHow Mark's nonprofit aims to turn music, theater, film, and visual art into a collaborative network centered on human connectionFavorite childhood influences—from Cat Stevens and James Taylor to the awe‑inspiring voice of Freddie Mercury—and the songs that still move him to tearsWhether you're a songwriter stuck in a creative rut, a fan of cutting‑edge tech, or simply someone looking for a musical pick‑me‑up, this conversation offers a blend of nostalgia, practical insight, and forward‑looking optimism. Grab your headphones, cue up a fresh track, and let Mark's story remind you that when words fall short, music always finds a way to speak.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the dance which, from when it reached Britain in the early nineteenth century, revolutionised the relationship between music, literature and people here for the next hundred years. While it may seem formal now, it was the informality and daring that drove its popularity, with couples holding each other as they spun round a room to new lighter music popularised by Johann Strauss, father and son, such as The Blue Danube.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss 'the greatest poet of his age', Thomas Wyatt (1503 -1542), who brought the poetry of the Italian Renaissance into the English Tudor world, especially the sonnet, so preparing the way for Shakespeare and Donne. As an ambassador to Henry VIII and, allegedly, too close to Anne Boleyn, he experienced great privilege under intense scrutiny. Some of Wyatt's poems, such as They Flee From Me That Sometime Did Me Seek, are astonishingly fresh and conversational and yet he wrote them under the tightest constraints, when a syllable out of place could have condemned him to the Tower.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the anchoress and mystic who, in the late fourteenth century, wrote about her visions of Christ suffering, in a work since known as Revelations of Divine Love. She is probably the first named woman writer in English, even if questions about her name and life remain open. Her account is an exploration of the meaning of her visions and is vivid and bold, both in its imagery and theology. From her confined cell in a Norwich parish church, in a land beset with plague, she dealt with the nature of sin and with the feminine side of God, and shared the message she received that God is love and, famously, that all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well.
