Podcasts about steeped

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed American painter, Lois Dodd. At 98-years-old, Dodd is famed for her paintings of her immediate surroundings, from landscapes to house roofs, windows and stairs. She paints the Night, day; outside, inside; doors that are painted, chipped; new, worn; and loved. While there is a seemingly absence of people, Dodd's paintings capture whole worlds and narratives – whether it be hose fires, or laundry hanging from a washing line. It's as though the colour, weather, light, frames, stairs, or cracks retain years worth of stories and memories, or are even characters in themselves. Steeped in American art and cultural history, referencing the likes of Hopper or Hitchcock, Dodd's works emphasise a voyeuristic, but also familiar nature. Born in 1927, Dodd was born and raised in New Jersey, mostly by her three older sisters after her parents' untimely death when she was young. It was then to Cooper Union in the 1940s, where she was amongst the burgeoning New York art scene, opening the artist-run space, the Tanager Gallery in 1952, at a similar time to iconic exhibitions such as the Ninth Street Show. Venturing to Maine, living by her artist friends Alex Katz and Jean Cohen, she took to painting views of the landscape, and by the end of the 1960s, this was now framed through a window: a perspective and device she has constantly reworked and reinvented, whether it be pressed up against her window on the Bowery, looking out onto her New York view, or of the cracked windows set in the lush, verdant countryside. Dodd allows her viewer to see something we thought we knew so well. She is an observer of nature – her works are about seeing the things that pass others by. As the critic Roberta Smith wrote in 2013: “Ms. Dodd loves the observed world. [...] She always searches out the underlying geometry but also the underlying life, and the sheer strangeness of it all.” I would also add that she is acute at highlighting the things that others iss - take her window portraits of New York City, a favorite being one fro November 2016, of her view that although is taken p by windows, places emphasis on a golden tree or blue sky, as if to latch on to the nature that grows even in the city, and the hope and beauty that exists even in the most unexpected places… Today we are recording in Dodd's home/studio in New Jersey… ahead of her major exhibition at Kunstmuseum Den Haag that opens this August in The Netherlands… Being here, I feel set in a Lois Dodd painting, brought to life by the motifs that surround me – and I can't wait to find out more. https://www.kunstmuseum.nl/en/exhibitions/lois-dodd https://www.alexandregallery.com/artists-work/lois-dodd#tab:slideshow;tab-1:thumbnails -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Mikaela Carmichael Technical support: Viva Ruggi Music by Ben Wetherfield

The memory of the Soviet triumph in World War II, or what is known as the Great Patriotic War, has become the centerpiece of Russian nationalism today. Penn State Professor Katya Haskins argues that the propensity to remember the victory over Nazi Germany and to forget Stalin's terror contributes to the Russian willingness to support the war in Ukraine. Steeped in the memory of the Great Patriotic War, Russians are inclined to believe Putin's claims about foreign threats and the need for a “special military operation” in Ukraine. How the memory of the Great Patriotic War hinges appeals to family memory is the focus of Katya Haskins' book and the subject of this episode–Remembering the War, Forgetting the Terror: Appeals to Family Memory in Putin's Russia.

We're full on this planet; there are two options. Either we kill each other, or we help each other. An eco-friendly song? Maybe. A social song? Maybe. A topical piece? Definitely. There once was a lady named Charlotte Leclerc, Who sailed on an iceberg from here to afar. "Comme un iceberg," she'd rhythmically chant, While wearing her Moiré dress for a nautical jaunt. "Delodio!" she'd cry to the curious fish, While balancing teacups on top of her dish. Her iceberg spun 'round like a crystalline top, With nary a reason or purpose to stop. The porpoises laughed and the sea turtles cheered, As Charlotte's strange vessel completely disappeared. Then popped up again near the Isle of Kazoo, Where nonsensical creatures said, "How do you do?" Charlotte Leclerc just curtsied and smiled, Her journey, though frosty, was wonderfully wild. "Delodio Moiré!" became her strange call, The most elegant iceberg captain of all! 'Moiré' is the second album by French musician and singer Charlotte Leclerc. Deeply influenced by Reunion Island, where the artist grew up. Steeped in the humid heaviness of the Indian Ocean and caressed by the freshness of the primary forests, Charlotte's songs are nourished by the small details of everyday life that we rediscover when we slow down the pace of our busy days. She uses the sound of her synthesisers and drum machines to create a blend of ambient, electronic music, and pop, and speaks to us about human relationships. Two-person relationships and universal relationships, those that connect us all and allow this planet to function a little better. Remember, "Moire" means "changing."

Born in Turkey, Ceylan gained a Masters in Marketing & Communications in Paris before studying Executive Coaching at Cambridge. After a successful corporate career consulting in business strategy, she set up her own consultancy business in the healthcare and pharma sectors.  But this was still too corporate for this driven entrepreneur.

Her methodology has allowed 78% of her members to increase their incomes. Meanwhile, Ceylan has joined the panel of sponsors for this year's Best Businesswomen Awards. She tells us why she chose our awards to sponsor, and how awards must be used for recognition and business promotion. She also has her own podcast 'She is AWEsome'. There is much inspiration in the discussions you'll find there. Ceylan explains it's purpose and why you must listen! Also, discover Ceylan's passion for networking. She is adamant: networking is essential to drive your business. It is not easy, and as she tells us, as an introvert, it's even harder. But it is the lifeblood of any business, and as Ceylan states, 'you will find your tribe'. If you're wondering why your business does not have the momentum you hoped for, this episode may give you the insights that will take you forward. If you don't get up off your backside and take action after this conversation, you may need to decide if running a business is right for you!   {1:51} What took Ceylan into the world of entrepreneurship. {3:51} Moving from corporate to female entrepreneurship. {7:50} How Ceylan helps businesswomen in 'under the radar' sectors. {11:17} Success stories from the academy. {12:56} Using awards for recognition and business promotion. {15:47} Why you must network! {18:47} How Ceylan's business network operates. {21:44} She is AWEsome - the podcast. {24:02} Tips for budding entrepreneurs. {28:25} Stop the courses - follow through with what you need to do. {29:41} Plan, plan, plan. {33:20} Move on from your mistakes.   Connect with Debbie at: https://thebusinessawardsshow.co.uk Connect with Ceylan:  https://academyforwomenentrepreneurs.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AWEntrepreneurs  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/academyforwomenentrepreneurs/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/academy-for-women-entrepreneurs/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@academyforwomenentrepreneurs/videos She is Awesome Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/07EKoJ9GW9yX0fSGMqXJms

Her  childhood home in Scranton, Pennsylvania was old—really old. Steeped in the area's history of coal mining, iron ore, and the unspoken tragedies of generations past, her family house held secrets that emerged once the lights went out. No matter how many prayers were whispered, strange noises filled her nights—footsteps stopping at the top of the stairs, a bizarre humming that slowed the world around her, and an unsettling presence no one could explain away. Years later, her brother heard a phantom voice calling him by his full name to come upstairs. Was it the spirit of someone left behind by Scranton's challenging past… or something darker?   If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!

Stephanie here! We are taking a temporary break from the Book of Proverbs to immerse ourselves in the two major Jewish and Christian liturgical events happening this week, roughly at the same time (which is unusual): Lent and Purim. I always find it fascinating to find fresh ways to worship Jesus Christ through the connections between different feasts and seasons. So today I invite you to delight in Christ through the unexpected juxtaposition of Purim and Lent. We invite you into a delightful exploration of the divine tapestry that intertwines the ancient traditions of Purim with the solemn reverence of Lent, ultimately pointing to the redemptive Lordship of Jesus Christ. You can purchase the Spring Feasts workbook to take notes while you listen, including the gorgeous visuals we created to accompany your experience: https://www.gospelspice.com/offers/ct6coMYd Purim, a joyous and festive Jewish celebration, commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people as detailed in the book of Esther. The intricacies of the story, from the absence of God's name in the book of Esther to the sovereignty and deliverance of His people, provide a rich tapestry to explore. In the Christian tradition, Lent serves as a period of preparation and reflection leading up to Easter, encompassing forty days marked by fasting, sacrifice, and repentance. Both Purim and Lent share a dark background of struggle and the hope of a joyous feast, creating an intriguing juxtaposition. Steeped in history and tradition, Purim and Lent leads us to worship Jesus at their intersection. It's compelling to note that while Purim is celebrated with joyful feasting and the giving of gifts to the poor, Lent involves fasting before the celebration of Easter. Both observances intertwine notions of hardship and hope, underscoring the resilience and faith exhibited by believers. Purim and Lent beckon us to seek and find Jesus in the heart of these sacred observances. So, join the conversation today! Don't forget to check out our essential workbook to accompany this study.

The DTC Wine Symposium Podcast Extravaganza – Part 2: The Wines and the People of Monterey County Okay, we admit it—we're Sonoma homers. Occasionally, we branch out and interview someone from Napa (gasp!). But despite our regional prejudices, the growers and winemakers of Monterey County welcomed the podcast crew—not to mention 700+ DTC Wine Symposium attendees—with open arms! Jokes aside, the Monterey County wine community were fantastic hosts all week long. We were lucky enough to sit down with friend of the pod, Adam Lee—a longtime proponent of Monterey fruit—and let him guide us through a fascinating conversation with some luminaries of the Monterey wine scene. Adam introduced us to legendary grower Gary Franscioni, owner of ROAR Wines, who helped develop and farm the vineyards that put the Santa Lucia Highlands on the winemaking map. We also met Sabrine Rodems, winemaker at the acclaimed Wrath Wines and owner/winemaker of Scratch Wines—an awesome lineup of wines that scratched an itch for the acid-driven, racy wine lovers among us. And we spoke with Rhonda Motil, VP of Marketing at J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, a family-owned winery with deep roots in the region. Jerry Lohr was one of the first to believe in Monterey's potential back in the early ‘70s, and today, J. Lohr continues to produce intricate, terroir-driven wines from over 4,000 planted acres. Of course, this was just a fraction of Monterey County's wine story. Steeped in agricultural history, the Salinas River Valley and surrounding hillsides make up one of the most important farming regions in the country—possibly the world. We learned about the power of the Monterey Canyon, the vast and deep submarine trench off the coast that plays a defining role in the region's climate. We also explored the rapid shifts in temperature, soil composition, and terroir that unfold as you travel north-south and east-west across this fertile wonderland. All in all, we hope we didn't make total fools of ourselves—because the wines were beautiful, the vineyards were stunning, and the people were fantastic. Here's hoping they invite us back!

Ep.230 Carl E. Hazlewood (b. 1951) was born in Guyana, South America. Parallel to his studio practice, Hazlewood co-founded Aljira, a Center for Contemporary Art in Newark, NJ in 1983. Steeped in modest materials, such as polyester, push pins, map pins and metallic string, form is foregrounded and the slippage between drawing, painting and sculpture places his work in a space that challenges the conventions of each medium, and forces the viewer to experience form on its own terms. Hazlewood explains, “Like a sculptor, I work to find 'shapes' and 'volumes', implied or actual. And like painting, the layering becomes an intuitive search for textures, color and form…I define edges, where things begin and end, where they may find relationships and multiple transitions against or into each other. I think of this as 'drawing' the accumulation of parts into active and resonant connections. Then those 'active' parts are pinned into a final configuration, something that feels properly 'evocative' yet stable as plastic form.” Solo exhibitions of his work include BlackHead Anansi: Constellations at Charlotte and Philip Hanes Gallery, Wake Forest University, South Carolina (2023); Racing Thoughts-Fever Dreaming at Art Basel Miami Beach (2022); and BlackHead Lyricism at Welancora Gallery (2022). Hazlewood has been the recipient of fellowships at the MacDowell organization (2023, 2015); the Brown Foundation at the Dora Maar House, Ménerbes, France (2018); and the Bogliasco Foundation, Italy (2018). His fifty-two-foot-tall wall work, TRAVELER (2017), was commissioned by the Knockdown Center, Queens. Collections include: The National Museum of African American History and Culture, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC , The Study Center, Bogliasco Foundation, Genova, Italy, The Dora Maar House, Ménerbes, France, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, Louisiana, Museu Brasileiro da Escultura, São Paulo - Brazil, The Schomburg Center Collections, New York, NY, The University of Guyana, South America and The National Collection of Fine Arts, Castellani House, Guyana, South America.

Episode #255 Dr. Diana Wright, She Healed From Cancer And Shares How Hello Health Heroes! This week I interviewed Dr. Diana Wright who grew up in a troubled home and went on to become a nurse and then build the largest nurses only employment agency in the U.S. Then cancer hit her hard and she dropped everything to heal. Steeped in western medicine she initially went that route but as time passed and the more she learned she realized she needed to do things differently if she was going to live. In this episode she shares everything she did to heal and this is a “must listen” episode for anyone who has cancer and is looking to heal. Enjoy the show! Love & Light Coach Tim p.s.

In this, our second episode in the series on John Updike's "Rabbit" novels I continue with in depth discussions of his magnum with special emphasis on Rabbi Run and Rabbit Redux and Updike's overall prose style.This series will continue into the New Year with multiple episodes so check back for more info! More about this ongoing multi part series, here:In addition to being one of the giants of twentieth century literature, John Updike is a personal favorite I have been reading since childhood. While I briefly mentioned an excerpt from his Rabbit Is Rich on one of the aesthetic episodes, I thought it would be a real journey is many senses to do a series on his Rabbit books. I will discuss Rabbit Run, Rabbit Redux, Rabbit Is Rich and Rabbit At Rest respecting the chronological order of the novels while also talking about all four in spot of the episodes. This is one of the rare instances in which a work of art is completely aesthetically valuable as a work of art while at the same time being a quite realistic (in the sense of accurate) sociological examination of life in the United States from the 1950s through the 1980s. Updike does this from the point of view of central protagonist Harry Angstrom and the milieu of middle and then upper middle class Pennsylvania, an opportunity to reflect on the country as whole. Steeped in the culture and milieu of The New Yorker Magazine as it was then, Updike epitomized those ideas and ideals about a certain kind of prose while being completely original in his style such that you can read any random paragraph from his work and know that it is John Updike. In this series we will try and discuss as much of these matters as we can and we hope you can join us. Updike was an innovator as much as he was a traditionalist in his prose, innovative particularly in how he depicted human sexuality. I will discuss his syntax, his tone and point of view as well as vision of life overall. #pennsylvania #1950s #1960s #1970s #1980s #1990s #2000s #worldwar2 #sexualpolitics #feminism #industrialrevolution #internetage #politics #linotype #books #bookstore #library #johncheever #newyorker #williamshawn #wallyshawn #tinabrowne #adambegley #adamgopnkik #christianity #episcopalianism #cartoon #madmagazine #disney #newengland #massachusetts #harvard #ruskinschoolofart  #unitedkingdom #democraticparty #oxforduniversity $poetry #fiction #novel #davidfosterwallace #saulbellow #ericajong #fearofflying #joycecaroloates #golf #judithjones #knopfdoubleday #algonquinhotel #newyorkcity #Boston #harpercollins #books&company #jeannettewatson #ibm #ianmeewan #annbeattie #francineprose #janetmalcom #toyota #car  #nationallampoon #playboy #esquire #vietnam #watergate #cocaine #recovery #disco #top40 #essay #prose #top10 #geraldford #jamesbuchanan #1700s #1800s #911 #ronaldreagan #georgewbush #herbertwalkerbush #billclinton #museum #talkofthetown #pulitzerprize #sovietunion #russia #jimmycarter #crisisofconfidence #malaise #suburbia #christopherlasch #narcissism #freud #psychoanalysis #grouptherapy #fashion #greece #germany #denmark #hippie #yuppie #revolution #culturewar #richardnixon #ipswich #philiproth #lyndonjohnson #rockmusic #folkmusic #salesman #watsonfoundation #hinduism #judaism #buddhism #islam #cult #davidremnick #popmusic #alfredaknopf #piano #JohnUpdike #authortube #BookLunch #books #mitchhampton --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mitch-hampton/support

In a world filled with both enormous wealth and pockets of great devastation, how should the well-off respond to the world's needy? This is the urgent central question of Being Good in a World of Need (Oxford UP, 2024). Larry S. Temkin, one of the world's foremost ethicists, challenges common assumptions about philanthropy, his own prior beliefs, and the dominant philosophical positions of Peter Singer and Effective Altruism. Filled with keen analysis and insightful discussions of philosophy, current events, development economics, history, literature, and age-old wisdom, this book is a thorough and sobering exploration of the complicated ways that global aid may incentivize disastrous policies, reward corruption, and foster “brain drains” that hinder social and economic development. Using real-world examples and illuminating thought experiments, Temkin discusses ethical imperialism, humanitarian versus developmental aid, how charities ignore or coverup negative impacts, replicability and scaling-up problems, and the views of the renowned economists Angus Deaton and Jeffrey Sachs, all within the context of deeper philosophical issues of fairness, responsibility, and individual versus collective morality. At times both inspiring and profoundly disturbing, he presents the powerful argument that neglecting the needy is morally impermissible, even as he illustrates that the path towards helping others is often fraught with complex ethical and practical perils. Steeped in empathy, morality, pathos, and humanity, this is an engaging and eye-opening text for any reader who shares an intense concern for helping others in need. Larry S. Temkin is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers. He graduated number one from the University of Wisconsin/Madison before pursuing graduate work at Oxford and earning his PhD from Princeton. He is the author of Inequality, hailed as "one of the [20th century's] most important contributions to analytical political philosophy" and of Rethinking the Good, described as a "tour de force" and "a genuinely awe-inspiring achievement." Temkin's approach to equality has been adopted by the World Health Organization. An award-winning teacher, he has received fellowships from Harvard, All Souls College and Corpus Christi College at Oxford, the National Institutes of Health, the Australian National University, the National Humanities Center, the Danforth Foundation, and Princeton. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Justin Kuritzkes is the very talented writer behind Challengers, the Luca Guadagnino love triangle topping all sorts of end-of-year lists right now. The film is a tennis drama that declared game-set-and-match with critics and audiences alike on release in April, becoming a pop culture sensation in ways usually reserved for franchise films. Steeped in the messy wants and desires of three complicated characters, it's the sort of film that doesn't often dominate discourse. But that didn't stop Challengers becoming a phenomenon whose influence altered fashion, music, memes and more in 2024.Which for most writers would be enough achievement for one year thank you very much. But Justin's 2024 didn't end there. Queer – also directed by Guadagnino – is a William Burroughs adaptation that hit cinemas this month. The film stars Daniel Craig as William Lee – an American expatriate living in 1950s Mexico City who becomes obsessed with a younger man and goes on a quest into the jungle in search of unlocking drug-induced telepathic communication. Both films bear the hallmarks of a storyteller insistent upon bringing deeply nuanced explorations of flawed people searching for connection into multiplexes. In the double-bill episode you're about to hear, breaking down in spoiler-filled detail both acclaimed films, we discuss the overlaps between Challengers' carnal chaos and Charli XCX's Brat Summer, and what both say about this moment in the culture. We get into the tragic real-life death of Burroughs' partner, killed by the famed author in an supposed accidental shooting, that lends uncomfortable context to the story of Queer (and that Justin threaded into the movie). And you'll also hear his thoughts on whether both of these films could be a bellwether moment for movies. In a year that saw franchise after franchise struggle for critical applause and box office might, does the success of a movie like Challengers suggest that an appetite might be growing again for original stories? Now there's an exciting thought to carry into 2025.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

We are back with our good friend Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Since the last time we interviewed Kenny, he has released a follow up album to "Dirt On My Diamonds, Vol 1" iornically titled, "Dirt On My Diamonds, Vol 2".  In addition to the new album, we talk about Kenny's experience actually playing Jimi Hendrix's "Woodstock" guitar and his upcoming tour, plus 2 new albums set to release in 2025.  Kenny is a five-time-Grammy-nominated guitarist. The new album was recorded  at the Legendary Fame Stuios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. This project chronicles Shepherd's journey of musical evolution, touching on stories of loss, redemption, and memorable melodies. All crafted by an elite team of songwriters. Born in Louisiana, in 1977, Shepherd's own life has never followed the script. Steeped in classic blues and rock 'n' roll from an early age by his dad - a respected Lousiana radio personality and promoter - Kenny soon reached for his first Fender stratocaster and found he didn't require lessons to make it cry and wail. Long before Warner Brothers subsidairy Giant Records offered a deal, Shepherd had toured in clubs which he was too young to drink in.    Please also check out our precious KWS interview released: October 7, 2023.

Concluding with current issues like overproduction and vehicle affordability in the U.S., and the Department of Energy's hefty investment in Stellantis, our discussion captures both the challenges and triumphs of this ever-evolving industry.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!ProAm Auto AccessoriesProAm Auto Accessories: "THE" place to go to find exclusive and hard to find parts and accessories!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Send us a textI am so excited for our THIRD annual Christmas Réveillon & Saint Nicholas show!When I moved to New Orleans almost 25 years ago from South Mississippi, my mind was blown to see how fancy and special these dinners were during December. Beautifully curated dishes that correspond with the vibes of the winter months set with a gorgeous Christmasy  backdrop made the most perfect meal for me and Douglas. It was so nice that I brought my mama the following year. Come to find out, these fancy dinners are all about preserving the rich history behind the beginning of the "Réveillon feast.The Réveillon tradition is most commonly enjoyed by local families and/or friends gathered around a large table in an old French Quarter restaurant or reserving one of the small private dining rooms they offer. However, couples or families visiting New Orleans during the holidays can also savor the same memorable Réveillon Dinner experiences at restaurants all over town. The feelings of togetherness and good cheer, coupled with the memories of all that great New Orleans food, will stick to the palate of your memory forever.I am proud to welcome one of the oldest and well known restaurants to our show! Open since 1856, Tujague's restaurant was In existence before “New Orleans” even bore its name, and having served as a Spanish armory, Tujague's restaurant has survived decades of war, depression, fire and plague to bring you a tradition of culinary excellence undiminished today.Tujague's is the second oldest restaurant in New Orleans, the birthplace of brunch and home to the oldest stand-up bar in America, but first and foremost, Tujague's is a neighborhood restaurant, located in America's oldest neighborhood—the French Quarter. Steeped in foodie lore, Tujague's is undeniably one of New Orleans' most famous and historic restaurants.Celebrating its 160th anniversary in 2016, this famous French Quarter culinary treasure grew from humble beginnings. Prosperity had never smiled more broadly on New Orleans than it did in the period when Tujague's first opened its doors. The city's growth during the 1850s was immense, and, for European emigrants in search of success in the New World, opportunity was everywhere for the taking.Today, Tujague's is thriving more than ever and we are super excited to welcome Executive Chef, Meg Gray to the show to talk about her own choices for this year's menu. We also dive into what or WHO inspired her to become the chef she is in one of the oldest restaurants in our country! To learn more about Tujague's Restaurant visit:tujaguesrestaurant.comLater we welcome my dear friend and Anglican Brother/Friar that lives here in New Orleans AND MAGICALLY transforms into the spirit embodiment of the jolly man that walked the other side of the world thousands of years ago! Brother Todd Van Alstyne has memories growing up with the beautiful traditions of Christmas past.Quick history lesson of the Real Saint Nick!Nicholas was born to a wealthy family in the third century.

Send us a textWe start Season Five off with a monster album, Eat a Peach, by the Allman Brothers Band. Released in 1972, it is a double album and simultaneously their 3rd studio album and their 2nd Live album.The Allman Brothers Band were perhaps the first "Southern Rock" band, but they were so much more than that. Steeped in the blues, the brothers Duane and Greg actually had careers as session musicians playing everything from soul to psychedelic folk. Their jams were inspired by jazz improvisations by John Coltrane and they had an uncanny ability to "jam" and harmonize simultaneously. Eat A Peach, composed of both live and studio tracks, is ultimately is a celebration of the life of founding member and reluctant leader Duane Allman, who died during the making of this album in a tragic motorcycle accident. Somehow the band found the will to carry on. Eat a Peach showcases this influential band at the peak of their powers, as both songwriters and musicians.Visit us at www.tappingvinyl.com.

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod to join our family of freaks and gain access to exclusive content! On April 3, 2011, a cemetery worker in South Africa stumbled upon an outrageously gruesome scene: large quantities of fresh blood and drag marks leading to a pair of blood-soaked jeans, and beneath that, a naked young adult male, butchered, eviscerated, and dismembered, barely recognizable as human. Cold as ice, this young man had been brutally stabbed and skinned; and when his remains were uncovered, they were missing numerous body parts, including his head. This is the absolutely devastating case of Michael Van Eck, who was murdered and flayed by a depraved woman posing as a romantic interest, Chané van Heerden (known as "The Female Ed Gein"), and her disturbed boyfriend, Maartens van der Merwe. Steeped in pseudo-occult practices and sadistic ritualistic behavior, this savage case is regarded as one of the most heinous murders in South African history. Please listen with caution.

Stephanie here! We are in our Come to the Table series, and today is a bit of a surprise! I always find it fascinating to find fresh ways to worship Jesus Christ through the connections between different feasts and seasons. So today I invite you to delight in Christ through the unexpected juxtaposition of Purim and Lent. We invite you into a delightful exploration of the divine tapestry that intertwines the ancient traditions of Purim with the solemn reverence of Lent, ultimately pointing to the redemptive Lordship of Jesus Christ. Purim, a joyous and festive Jewish celebration, commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people as detailed in the book of Esther. The intricacies of the story, from the absence of God's name in the book of Esther to the sovereignty and deliverance of His people, provide a rich tapestry to explore. In the Christian tradition, Lent serves as a period of preparation and reflection leading up to Easter, encompassing forty days marked by fasting, sacrifice, and repentance. Both Purim and Lent share a dark background of struggle and the hope of a joyous feast, creating an intriguing juxtaposition. Steeped in history and tradition, Purim and Lent leads us to worship Jesus at their intersection. It's compelling to note that while Purim is celebrated with joyful feasting and the giving of gifts to the poor, Lent involves fasting before the celebration of Easter. Both observances intertwine notions of hardship and hope, underscoring the resilience and faith exhibited by believers. Purim and Lent beckon us to seek and find Jesus in the heart of these sacred observances. So, join the conversation today! Don't forget to check out our essential workbook to accompany this study. Stephanie personally created the content to invite you deeper into study. Don't miss out! It's at https://www.gospelspice.com/store We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

We want a warm, welcoming atmosphere to journey ever deeper into the heart of God. We believe it is the ultimate calling of the Christian life, and I like to summarize it with my motto, God's glory, our delight. That is why we invite you to “taste and see” that the Lord is good. And we have been doing this every day since 2019. We need YOU to keep Gospel Spice alive and growing.   Financially speaking, we rely on people who understand this vision and who understand that we cannot function without a minimum budget. We run an extremely tight budget. For example, I work full time but don't draw a salary. And yet, we have expenses – for example, the equipment and technology we use, and also the wonderfully gifted staff who make it possible to deliver high quality content all around the globe, and then the necessary occasional promotional budget to make it possible to be discovered by those who seek to live a life spiced with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We need your help.   So we would love for you to consider if this ministry is blessing you to pay gospel spice forward. You can partner with us monthly with 10, 25, 50, 100, a month, or you can make one donation, once. And because we are a register nonprofit organization in the United States under the status of a 501c3 charity, it means that the amount that you pay to gospel spice is fully tax deductible. Completely tax deductible. So you're even saving money as you invest in gospel spice ministries. It is an eternal investment, and we are very grateful to you for it. Now it's very important to us that we give back as much as possible from what you give us. And so we commit to giving the majority of what we receive, once all of our administrative costs are paid, to organizations that fight human trafficking on the front line. There are many worthwhile causes in the world, so why this one? Because I have always personally felt deep compassion for victims of human trafficking – maybe because I have never been its victim myself, so I feel a responsibility to help those less fortunate than me. Also, because Jesus tells us to love our neighbor. Human trafficking is modern day slavery, and that is something that revolts the heart of God. We want to play our part in raising awareness and then financially supporting those who fight this great evil.   So, we do some due diligence. We pick organizations who have proven themselves trustworthy of our support. And then we give money to these Christians organizations that fight human trafficking. So would you consider paying us forward at gospelspice.com/payitforward? Your hard-earned money is always well used at Gospel Spice. Ultimately, you are giving back to the Kingdom, a portion of what Jesus has given you. We are well aware of the privilege to steward your partnership. And my prayer is always that you will find your own life spiced with the gospel as you partner with us to flavor the lives of those around us, near and far, with the spice of the gospel.
