Opening Weekend: Selling Hollywood with Jim Fredrick continues on the TG&TG feed. This week Jim sits down with longtime friend and colleague Bryan Allen, the poster designer and former Paramount creative executive behind The Truman Show mosaic one-sheet. From cutting type by hand in the '80s to the thumb-stopping digital age, Bryan breaks down how a single still image helps a movie find its audience. Takeaways: The 30-mile-an-hour read. Tony Seiniger's rule that a poster has to land at a glance, from the billboard era to the scroll. Fonts have feelings. How a typeface, and even its weight, sends an emotional message before you read a single word. Symbol or soup can. The two essential approaches to a one-sheet, and why three heads in the sky is sometimes the responsible call. Every frame of the film. How a 1986 joke about the Wall Street poster became The Truman Show mosaic. Make the posters. Bryan's advice for young designers trying to break into the business. Just remember: "It helps the audience find the movie. It helps the movie find the audience." — Bryan Allen Our sponsors: The Golden Trailer Awards (goldentrailer.com) Atlas Talent Agency (atlastalent.com) Opening Weekend now has its own feed.

In this episode of the CPT Podcast, we talk with Dr. Michael Niebauer about his new book, From Word to Worship: How the Lectionary Welcomes You Into Sacred Time Through Story, Symbol, and Sacrament. Michael discusses how the lectionary helps Christians encounter Scripture as a unified story and see connections between biblical texts, the church calendar, and Christian worship. He also shares how his ministry in nursing homes has shaped his understanding of pastoral ministry and preaching.The conversation explores Niebauer's approach to reading Scripture, his interest in the interpretive practices of early Christians, and the way the lectionary can shape the church's theological imagination. Attend the 2026 CPT Conference

In this sermon on John 13:1–17, Pastor Matt introduces the new series set in "The Upper Room" during Jesus' final hours before the cross. He explores Jesus' act of washing His disciples' feet—a task reserved for the lowest status of servants—and explains how this gesture provides a profound picture of Christ's character and ministry. Looking at A Display of God's Love: Jesus' action reflects a love that is humble, A Symbol of Salvation's Cleansing: Jesus highlights that outward moral effort cannot make us clean and A Model of Conduct for Jesus' Followers: Jesus sets an example of humble service for His disciples, calling them to extend self-sacrificing love to messiest fellow believers and even to their enemies.(00:00) - Starting and Intro (00:34) - The Upper Room (03:32) - A Display of God's Love (06:15) - Humble Love (11:16) - Undeserved Love (12:55) - Unending Love (20:29) - A Symbol of Salvation's Cleansing (24:47) - A Model of Conduct for Jesus' Followers (30:35) - How Can I Grow in a Life of Humble, Loving Service? On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus spent His final hours not thinking of Himself, but of those He loved. He washed weary feet, comforted troubled hearts, promised the Holy Spirit, prepared His followers for suffering, prayed for their faith, and prayed even for us.  In this 12-week journey through John 13–17, we'll see the love of Christ displayed in remarkable ways, and discover how His love continues to shape and sustain His people today.Pastor Matt Clausen preaches from the Prior Lake Campus.

Eine Reise nach Valencia führt Wolfgang Krebs zu einer überraschend tiefen Glaubenserfahrung: In der Kathedrale steht der Kelch, der als Heiliger Gral verehrt wird – und plötzlich stellt sich die Frage: Was passiert eigentlich wirklich bei der Wandlung? Pfarrer Josef Fegg erklärt, warum die Eucharistie für Katholiken weit mehr ist als Erinnerung oder Symbol – und weshalb gewissermaßen bei jeder Messe der „Heilige Gral“ auf dem Altar steht. Eine persönliche Folge über Glauben, Ehrfurcht und einen Moment, in dem Raum und Zeit plötzlich keine Rolle mehr spielen.

Palm trees are a synonymous symbol of Los Angeles. From the beaches, to Hollywood, and LA skyline. This symbol of the city has a deeper and more complicated history than most of us know. This week, Diosa and Mala dig into the roots of the palm tree: native, transplant, and displaced, and how a new documentary, Las Palmas, connects that story to the current immigration crisis. Starting October 7th, we're launching the 100 Days to 100K campaign to fund the Las Palmas feature film. The campaign will culminate in a screening and fundraiser in early 2027. About Las Palmas: This short film explores the social, political, and emotional impacts of the displacements of Latine communities currently happening in the streets of Los Angeles. Donate via Zeffy.

Busen, Brüste, reizvolle Rundungen, mächtige Milchquellen, Glocken, Boobies und Melonen – kaum ein Körperteil ist in Sprache, Kunst und Geschichte mit so vielen Bildern, Sehnsüchten und Bedeutungen aufgeladen worden wie die weibliche Brust. Sie ist Nahrung und Lust, Verletzlichkeit und Kraft, Symbol für Mutterschaft, Schönheit, Erotik, Göttlichkeit und Freiheit – und im Tantra zugleich Ausdruck von Sinnlichkeit, nährender Fülle und weiblich-göttlicher Kraft. In dieser Folge schauen wir darauf, was die Brust eigentlich ist, warum sie uns Menschen seit Jahrtausenden fasziniert und weshalb sich in ihr Biologie, Kultur, Begehren und Spiritualität so dicht miteinander verschränken. Wir sprechen und diskutieren mit unserer Tantralehrer-Kollegin Viola Mansfeld über energetische Zugänge zur Brust, Berührung und Wertschätzung, die mächtige Wirkung auf die Männerwelt und den achtsamen Umgang mit dieser hohen Energie.

Mitte der 1960er Jahre entwickelte sich London zum Zentrum einer kulturellen Revolution, die als "Swinging London" bekannt wurde. Die britische Hauptstadt avancierte zum Symbol für Modernität, Kreativität und jugendlichen Aufbruch. Dies geschah als Gegenbewegung zur US-amerikanischen Musikkultur. Bands wie die Beatles oder die Rolling Stones eroberten von London/Großbritannien aus die Internationalen Charts und machten das Land zur führenden Popularmusik-Nation ihrer Zeit.Hinter dieser Entwicklung stand ein wirtschaftlicher Aufschwung, der vielen jungen Menschen mehr Kaufkraft und damit auch mehr Freiheit ermöglichte. Designer, Künstler und Musiker machten London bis zum Ende der 1960er Jahre zu einem Zentrum der Popkultur, das von anderen Metropolen wie New York, Paris oder Berlin nachgeahmt wurde.Mit: Thomas Mießgang, Kulturjournalist. Host: Andreas Wolf. Sendung vom: 21.9.2026.

This episode kicks off the fall sermon series, "The Upper Room," with a focus on John 13:1-17. Pastor Matt explores the profound moment in the upper room when Jesus washes the feet of His disciples just hours before His crucifixion. Throughout the message, we learn that this act serves three main purposes:It is a display of God's love: Jesus demonstrates a love that is humble, undeserved, and unending.It is a symbol of salvation's cleansing: We are reminded that we must be washed by Jesus if we are to have true fellowship with Him.It is a model of conduct for Jesus' followers: Jesus sets the ultimate example of how we should serve one another.To truly grow in this kind of humble, loving service, we must have our identity completely tied to our relationship with the Father and our future in heaven.The Upper Room Series:On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus spent His final hours not thinking of Himself, but of those He loved. He washed weary feet, comforted troubled hearts, promised the Holy Spirit, prepared His followers for suffering, prayed for their faith, and prayed even for us.  In this 12-week journey through John 13–17, we'll see the love of Christ displayed in remarkable ways, and discover how His love continues to shape and sustain His people today.(00:00) - Introduction (06:45) - A Display of God's Love (08:33) - Humble Love (13:39) - Undeserved Love (15:27) - Unending Love (22:46) - A Symbol of Salvation's Cleansing (26:55) - A Model of Conduct for Jesus' Followers (34:07) - How can I grow in a life of humble, loving service?

Wykład Bartosza Popczyńskiego w ramach cyklu Spotkania z przyrodą [1 września 2026 r.] Czy symbole parków narodowych zawsze pokazują zwierzęta, które rzeczywiście możemy w nich spotkać? Dlaczego jeden z najmłodszych polskich parków najlepiej poznawać z kajaka? I gdzie mogłyby powstać kolejne parki narodowe - nad Odrą, nad Wisłą, na Jurze, w Puszczy Bukowej, a może nawet... pod ziemią?W piątej i ostatniej części wakacyjnego cyklu o symbolach polskich parków narodowych Bartosz Popczyński kończy przegląd wszystkich 23 istniejących obecnie parków, a następnie przygląda się miejscom, które w przyszłości mogłyby zostać objęte tą najwyższą formą ochrony przyrody.Pierwszym bohaterem spotkania jest Park Narodowy „Bory Tucholskie”, utworzony w 1996 roku. Dominują tu rozległe bory sosnowe, ale niezwykle ważnym elementem krajobrazu są również jeziora - w tym jeziora lobeliowe - oraz torfowiska. W granicach parku znajduje się 21 jezior, a siedem z nich łączy Struga Siedmiu Jezior.Szczególnie ciekawa okazuje się historia symbolu parku. Jest nim głuszec - jeden z największych polskich kuraków. Problem w tym, że dziś głuszec w Borach Tucholskich nie występuje. Ostatni osobnik żyjący na tym terenie miał zostać odstrzelony w latach 70. XX wieku. Symbol parku jest więc jednocześnie przypomnieniem o gatunku, który z tego obszaru zniknął, oraz pewnego rodzaju nadzieją, że kiedyś uda się go tam przywrócić.Kolejnym przystankiem jest Narwiański Park Narodowy. Jego sercem jest Narew - niezwykła rzeka anastomozująca, która zamiast jednego koryta tworzy całą sieć rozgałęziających się odnóg. To jeden z najrzadziej odwiedzanych parków narodowych w Polsce, ale zarazem niezwykle ważna ostoja ptaków.Bartosz Popczyński opowiada m.in. o batalionach, derkaczach, dubeltach, wodniczkach oraz błotniakach. Właśnie błotniak stawowy znalazł się w logo Narwiańskiego Parku Narodowego. Dowiadujemy się, jak rozpoznać go podczas lotu, dlaczego często patroluje trzcinowiska tuż nad ziemią i z jakimi zagrożeniami spotykają się ptaki drapieżne.Poznajemy też najmłodszy z istniejących polskich parków narodowych - Park Narodowy „Ujście Warty”, utworzony 1 lipca 2001 roku. Rozległe podmokłe łąki, pastwiska i rozlewiska są jednym z najważniejszych miejsc dla ptaków wodnych i błotnych. Na obszarze parku stwierdzono około 280 gatunków ptaków, w tym około 170 lęgowych. Szczególnie spektakularne są wielotysięczne koncentracje gęsi - ptaków obecnych również w symbolu parku.Na tym jednak opowieść się nie kończy.Druga część wykładu poświęcona jest parkom narodowym, które dopiero mogłyby powstać. Bartosz Popczyński przypomina, że ostatni nowy park narodowy utworzono w Polsce w 2001 roku, i prezentuje szereg obszarów od lat wskazywanych jako kandydaci do silniejszej ochrony.Jednym z najbardziej znanych projektów jest Turnicki Park Narodowy na Pogórzu Przemyskim, gdzie zachowały się cenne fragmenty lasów o charakterze zbliżonym do naturalnego. Pojawia się też pomysł Mazurskiego Parku Narodowego, który objąłby szczególnie wartościowe przyrodniczo obszary Krainy Wielkich Jezior.Kolejna propozycja to Jurajski Park Narodowy - połączenie wapiennych skał, jaskiń, lasów, śladów prehistorycznego życia oraz zabytków związanych ze Szlakiem Orlich Gniazd.Bartosz Popczyński opowiada również o Parku Narodowym Dolnej Odry, który miałby chronić niezwykłe mokradła Międzyodrza. Po niemieckiej stronie granicy podobny obszar jest już chroniony jako park narodowy. Wśród kolejnych propozycji pojawia się Szczeciński Park Narodowy obejmujący Puszczę Bukową, z charakterystycznymi lasami bukowymi i jeziorami polodowcowymi.Bartosz Popczyński - leśnik i edukator przyrodniczy związany z Centrum Edukacji Przyrodniczo-Leśnej Lasów Miejskich - Warszawa. Od lat popularyzuje wiedzę o przyrodzie w ramach cyklu „Spotkania z przyrodą”.#ParkiNarodowe #BartoszPopczyński #BoryTucholskie #NarwiańskiParkNarodowy #UjścieWarty #OchronaPrzyrody #PolskaPrzyroda #SpotkaniaZPrzyrodą #Przyroda #Wszechnica

Hello to you listening from wherever your feet touch the ground! They say that when Marco Polo returned from his decades of travels through Asia along the Silk Roads, he had gems sewn in his cloak to prove the fantastical nature of his stories. Pilgrims who walked the Camino de Santiago brought back scallop shells they picked up on the beaches of Finisterre, Spain to prove that they had walked to the end of the earth. On the Camino the symbol of the scallop shell is used as a way marker. Like many Camino pilgrims I affixed a large scallop shell to my backpack as a reminder to keep me going until I reached Finisterre. What did we bring home from our journeys? Where might we find the fantastical, the unexpected gift in our stories? What was the agent of change? How were we transformed? And does any of it matter to someone else? I say, “Yes, it does and in ways we cannot calculate.” “It's strange to think that there might be things we know that people who live one hundred years from now would like to know. We forget to say them.” [William Stafford] Whether we sew gems in our cloaks or tie scallop shells to our backpacks as proof of our walk, we also have the stories, the hidden treasures, the currency of hard travel and quiet transformation. Does transformation arrive for us as we walk? Some might experience that on the Way. Others experience their inner map evolving in the days and weeks and even years later. Regardless of when change occurs, this much I know is true: The stories we bring back from our literal and figurative journeys are the gift of grace that we earned as we journeyed through our fears, doubts, and failures to finally arrive Here from There. Story Prompt: What insight, glimpse of wisdom, shiver of compassion, or wee bit of knowledge have you earned as you walk the story of your life? Write that story and share it out loud.YOU'RE INVITED: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, subscribe & spread this episode with a generous 5-star review & comment on APPLE Podcasts —it helps us all—& join us next time!

How do loved ones who have passed away communicate with us from the other side? In this uplifting episode, Michaela explores the signs, messages, and spiritual connections that can help us feel closer to those we've lost.Michaela shares powerful stories from her recent mediumship readings, including meaningful messages of love, support, and recognition from souls who have crossed over.

I'll bet you've never heard of a “pink martyrdom”… that's because our guest just coined it on the air today, and Bishop Frank called it “a new theological term”! Shaun McAfee, author of the Compendium of Eucharistic Miracles, joins Bishop Frank to discuss things like: …what actually is a miracle, and what role does science play in miracles? …what's the unifying theme among the 100s of Eucharistic miracles that have occurred throughout history? …and what needs to change in evangelization via social media? This is a great conversation. Enjoy!

Richard Wagner's 19th century opera, Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of Nibelungen), affectionately known as The “Ring” Cycle, may be considered by many as the height of operatic absurdity, with larger than life staging, costumes and voices. The image is so ingrained in the modern consciousness that opera lovers and non-lovers alike associate the opera, specifically the character of Brunhilde, with a heavy-set female opera singer wearing her hair in pig-tails, costumed with horned helmet and armor. As the opera went on to make its mark on popular culture, from featuring in an episode of Bugs Bunny to inspiring a Quentin Tarantino film, Brunhilde became a more visually recognizable figure, which is not always followed by immediate association to her name and her story.Tune in!

How is the Bible meant to be read — where, among whom, and with what tools?

In dieser Predigt über Joel 1:20-2:20 spricht Christopher Kramp über die Bedeutung des Tages des Herrn und die Notwendigkeit echter Umkehr. Er beleuchtet die zerstörerische Kraft eines Heuschreckenschwarms als Symbol für Gottes Gericht und die Verzweiflung, die daraus resultiert. Gleichzeitig betont er Gottes barmherzige Natur und die Kraft eines von Herzen kommenden Gebets, das eine vollständige Veränderung bewirken kann. Aufnahme ansehenVideo auf YouTube

Ref.: P. Christoph Kreitmeir OFM, Klinikseelsorger und Autor Das Kreuz ist das christliche Symbol schlechthin. Es steht für schweres Leid, welches Jesus Christus für die Menschheit erlitten hat - aber auch als großes Pluszeichen, das auf die Erlösung hinter dem Leid hinweist. Jesu Kreuz zeigt uns Gottes radikale Liebe: Gott weicht der Dunkelheit, dem Leid dieser Welt nicht aus, sondern erlöst sie. Mit Hilfe des alten Liedes „O du hochheilig Kreuze (GL 294) erschließt der Klinikseelsorger Pater Christoph Kreitmeir OFM in der Lebenshilfe den tieferen Sinn des Kreuzes, damit der Trost und die Kraft des Kreuzes hinter dem Schweren aufscheinen können. Persönliches Leid kann dann in die Gemeinschaft mit Christus eingebunden werden. Dadurch bekommt es eine hoffnungsvolle und zuversichtliche Dimension.

In dieser Predigt wird das Buch Joel aus der Bibel beleuchtet, beginnend mit einer detaillierten Beschreibung einer verheerenden Heuschreckenplage. Diese Katastrophe dient als eindringliches Bild für die Zerstörung und die daraus resultierende Trauer und Verzweiflung. Der Sprecher erklärt, wie diese Ereignisse auch als Symbol für den „Tag des Herrn“ und endzeitliche Botschaften verstanden werden können. Die Predigt ermutigt dazu, sich in Zeiten der Not an Gott zu wenden und gemeinsam zu beten. Aufnahme ansehenVideo auf YouTube

Účastníci summitu BRICS, který proběhl v Indii, dali všem jasně na srozuměnou, že hodlají vytvořit nový světový řád, v němž už nebude dominovat Západ. Problém je ovšem v tom, že jednotliví vůdci předních mocností tohoto bloku jako je ruský Vladimir Putin, čínský Si Ťin-pching či indický Naréndra Módí mají různé zájmy a taky různé vztahy s USA jakožto vůdčí zemí Západu.Všechny díly podcastu Názory a argumenty můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Today many of us are paying tribute to those taken from us by that horrible tragedy 25 years ago. And we're saying thanks to those who worked so hard to help others at the time, including a group of city workers who managed to find and save a tree from the World Trade Center site that's now known as the “Survivor Tree.” Survivor Tree Seedling Program (9/11 Memorial) 

Die Bilder des 11. September 2001 sind fest im kollektiven Gedächtnis verankert. Die brennenden Zwillingstürme des World Trade Centers wurden schnell zu einem Symbol: für den islamistischen Kampf gegen den Westen, für den globalen „war on terror“, für tiefgreifende politische und persönliche Unsicherheiten. Wie hat „9/11“ das Selbstverständnis der USA, das Verhältnis zu Europa und auch zu internationalem Recht verändert? Wie wurden die tödlichen Anschläge verarbeitet und warum hat der Prozess gegen die Täter immer noch nicht begonnen? Karsten Umlauf diskutiert mit Andrea Böhm – Journalistin, Die ZEIT; Prof. Dr. Matthias Goldmann – Jurist, EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht Wiesbaden; Prof. Dr. Bernd Greiner – Historiker

In dieser Predigt taucht Christopher Kramp tief in das Buch Hosea ein und beleuchtet die emotionale Tiefe von Gottes Liebe. Er erklärt, wie die dramatische Ehe des Propheten Hosea mit Gomer als Symbol für Gottes Beziehung zu seinem untreuen Volk Israel dient. Die Botschaft betont Gottes unerschütterliche Treue und seine Bereitschaft, auch nach tiefster Enttäuschung Vergebung und Wiederherstellung anzubieten. Aufnahme ansehenVideo auf YouTube

Millionen Fahrzeuge und endlose Staus: Die Brennerautobahn ist für viele ein Symbol für den immer näher rückenden Urlaub. Für die Menschen in Tirol ist sie jedoch eine tägliche Belastung. Ende Mai blockierten darum Tausende die vielleicht wichtigste Nord-Süd-Route Europas. Der Brennerbasistunnel soll für die Bevölkerung zwar Abhilfe schaffen, lässt aber auf sich warten.

On this special episode of This We Believe, we will be discussing why Churches have used lectionaries to structure their reading of the Bible, and how the lectionary invites us to encounter scripture in a way similar to that of the early Christians. If you are in a church that uses a Sunday lectionary, I encourage you to check out my new book From Word to Worship, which helps readers understand the connections between scripture, liturgy, and the seasons of the church. Support the show*New Book* From Word to Worship: How the Lectionary Welcomes You into Sacred Time Through Story, Symbol, and Sacrament https://a.co/d/02dKL9Ubhttps://michaelniebauer.substack.com/Twitter: @We_Believe_PodE-mail: Thiswebelievepodcast@gmail.com

Questions form the very basis of inquiry. They can be philosophical or mundane. You've probably asked a dozen questions of yourself, already, today. In this episode, we explore the symbol of the question, itself, contemplating what questions allow us to do. A question can be an initiation, contain a secret password, or show us the map of our future quests. Without the question there is no discovery. We hope you love this episode as much as we did. Don't miss Cristina's next class: Healing the Centaur, starting August 13th! This five part immersion in the mythology, astrological impact, and healing power of Chiron starts soon. It may be of extra interest to our listeners, as this class is part lecture, part dream incubator.

In this episode, we continue our book study on Friendship in the Lord and discuss how friendship with others leads us into deeper intimacy with God. We talk about our longing for both human and divine communion, how healthy friendships free us from self-preoccupation, and why learning to receive feedback is essential to our growth. We also reflect on how unmet desires in friendship are signs of our longing for the Trinity and the importance of releasing lesser goods so that we can be free to receive God's greater gifts.    Announcement: You can buy your copy of Friendship in the Lord from Ave Maria Press (or Amazon).   Journal Questions: What makes me feel at home with the Trinity? How has God invited me to be a more faithful friend? Where do I need to grow in self-awareness and be freed from self-preoccupation? What is my disposition when someone lovingly reveals my own weaknesses and shortcomings to me? How have I refused to grow?   Discussion Questions: What makes you feel at home with other people? How is God inviting you into deeper communion with others? How has the Lord revealed to you your weaknesses and shortcomings? How did you receive that truth from Him? How have you given into sloth by seeking God's lesser gifts and ignoring His greater gifts?   Quote to Ponder: "In a special way, Christian friendship is meant to help us grow in our relationship with the Lord, as one intimately loved by him. It is meant to give us some small experience of what it means to be at home in communion with the Holy Trinity. Only in intimacy with the Lord are we the deepest "who we are." Only in communion with him are we our truest selves." (Friendship in the Lord, Page 77)   Scripture for Lectio: "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." (John 15:15)   Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:00 Scripture Verse 02:37 Human Friendship Helps Us Grow In Relationship with God 05:06 Freedom from Self-Preoccupation 07:47 Cultivating Self Awareness 10:15 Giving and Receiving Honest Feedback 14:36 Pain in Friendship is a Symbol of Our Longing for God 19:12 What Should We Do with Our Ache? 22:48 Resting in the Enjoyment of Lesser Gifts 25:05 A Call to Make Room 27:22 Closing Prayer

When no one seems to be listening, how far do you go to be heard? In December 2008, George W. Bush made a surprise visit to Baghdad for a press conference. And at the very end of his remarks, a shoe came flying past his head.  It was “the shoe heard around the world,” and countless jokes and memes ensued.  But in the pandemonium, many missed the story of the man at the center: Muntadhar Al-Zaidi, a weary journalist trying to get the world to see the Iraq War in a different light. Even fewer people know what happened to him after.  Nearly two decades later, Radiolab reporter Sarah Qari tracked Al-Zaidi down to learn the story of his life. What she found was a story about grief, anger, and the line where journalism ends and protest begins. Special thanks to Azmat Khan and Mustafa Salim.
