Hour 4: Tommy discusses his thoughts on movies in theatres and debates Rosie on if dog shows should be considered a real sport.

The following synopsis for the January 3, 2025, broadcast of Infinite Plane (Saturn Day) summarizes the host's analysis of media manipulation, the launch of a new collaborative project, and a critique of the “world stage.”SynopsisIn this episode, the host outlines the mission of The Great Deconstruction, a community-driven project intended to map a parallel timeline of historical and media events from the last century. Moving away from the “noise” and “garbage content” of typical alt-media and “Trutherville” cults, the broadcast emphasizes a transition from using terms like “hoaxes” or “psyops” toward a more sophisticated understanding of “history bending”. The host argues that major news events—ranging from the arrest of Venezuela's president to the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania—are theatrical productions scripted in advance and executed by actors and directors. By analyzing the “invisible prison” of media through a skeptical lens rather than a credulous one, the show aims to provide a foundation for those seeking to move “off world stage”.Key Discussion TopicsThe Great Deconstruction and Whiteboard Series: The launch of a group project to create a foundational diagram and timeline showing the “program” that has been implemented for nearly 100 years, supplemented by a series of visual “whiteboard” talks designed to articulate complex concepts like predictive concurrent programming to the public.The World Stage as Scripted Theater: A deep dive into the “secondary timeline” where fake and staged events are superimposed over reality, treating major political figures as “made-to-order” archetypes and noting that upcoming “historic events” for the year are already written and rehearsed.Critique of “Gatekept” Independent Journalism: A dismissal of figures like James O'Keefe and organizations like Project Veritas as establishment-controlled “independent” journalists who focus on theatrical costumes and drunken whistleblowers while avoiding the “real things that matter,” such as crisis actors and simulated events.Space as Allegory and Worldview Warfare: Re-evaluating NASA and the space program not as scientific endeavors, but as “inner space” psychological operations and “ceremonial magic” designed to promote a “Trojan horse” for global environmentalism and a collectivist “space communism”.Moving Beyond the “False Binary” of Flat Earth: Reflecting on the “Infinite Plane” concept as a way to escape the limited “flat vs. round” debate, which the host suggests was hijacked by controlled opposition and “lore-based” religious cults to discredit genuine media skepticism.Key Quotes“The Great Deconstruction is what we're doing, what we're creating to provide a starting point for anybody who reaches this.”“These aren't mere hoaxes; these are historic events which become permanent facets of the world stage... The place where fiction and reality are seamlessly merged.”“Mass media is a liar. That's the job. Its job is to conform you, not to inform you.”“We're not just connecting dots... what we're doing is we're providing something without any of the noise.”“Theater as a tool of governance... we can see the results of what has been done with very mundane means.”

The Under the Radar Festival returns this year with more than 25 examples of groundbreaking stage productions from around the world.  The festival's co-creative directors Meropi Peponides and Kaneza Schaal preview the program, which begins tomorrow.

Philippians 2:1-4: We've been cast in the drama of the gospel. So, think like a cast-member, and let all your living be Jesus-shaped.

We're starting off 2026 with Jeff being terrible. As usual.Host segments: having to work at the Chicken Shack; a lesson for amateur filmmakers; we can't care more than the director does; Winterbeast is better, sadly; we've all had drunken nights like this, right?; Joe is not a fan of pranks - even George Clooney's; can Things be improved?

In the first segment of the interview, Karen Malpede chronicles her early life for us, tells us what compelled her to write the memoir and why she chose theatre as as a medium for her life's work, and activism. You can purchase her memoir Last Radiance, everywhere books are sold and check out the review on indypendent.org.

We spent the hour talking with radical playwright, author and activist Karen Malpede whose new memoir provides a fearless, unsparing account of her life: her many erotic adventures, her long running political activism from the 1960s to the present, the historic figures she befriended (and sometimes slept with), the agony of watching many of those closest to her wither away from cancer and the hard-earned wisdom she has gained across her life's journey. The title of her memoir is Last Radiance: Radical Lives, Bright Deaths available everywhere books are sold. You can check out a review on indypendent.org.

Setting the Scene Winchester Little Theater is abuzz with excitement as the cast and crew prepare for their latest production, "Wait Until Dark."

Despite last-minute nerves, Avery's determination and love for theater shine through. She candidly discusses the anxiety and exhilaration of performing, as well as the personal growth she's experienced on stage. Meanwhile, Tim, who takes on the role of antagonist Harry Roat, reflects on the thrill of exploring a darker character.

The discussion touches on the many ways community members can get involved, from acting and directing to set design, lighting, and costumes. This inclusive spirit not only strengthens the theater but also fosters lasting friendships and personal growth. Rehearsals: Where Magic Happens As the team delves into the rehearsal process, they reveal the meticulous planning and adaptability required to bring "Wait Until Dark" to life. Joette describes her approach to blocking scenes, managing a diverse cast, and ensuring safety during the play's more physical moments. The actors share memorable rehearsal stories, from mastering fight choreography to overcoming stage fright. These behind-the-scenes anecdotes underscore the dedication and resilience that community theater demands. Inspiring the Next Generation Looking ahead, the conversation turns to the future of local theater.

If technology is ruining the art of conversation, maybe it can save it, too. Anna Gat--poet, screenwriter, playwright, and founder of Interintellect--talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts on how she's reviving the French salon in the digital age. They discuss why authority, moderation, and clear formats make conversation freer, not more constrained. They also explore why one of the greatest of modern plays--Tom Stoppard's Arcadia--is so resonant not only as a live theatrical performance, but also when read aloud, both alone and in a group. They conclude the episode by connecting Arcadia's themes to Gat's mission at Interintellect: Namely, preserving the value of thinking together across generations, disciplines, and worldviews.

Drawing on memory studies and theatrical history, Commemorative Acts: French Theatre and the Memory of the Great War (University of Toronto Press, 2025) analyses a neglected body of plays staged in France after the Great War, between 1918 and 1937, to reveal their profound impact on collective memory and cultural identity. In the aftermath of the Great War, a remarkable wave of collective commemoration emerged, but the aesthetic diversity of this period has often been overshadowed by a singular focus on the combatant experience, primarily conveyed through fiction and memoir. This selective historical narrative has fostered a homogenized memory of the war, neglecting the rich array of cultural productions that also emerged alongside it. Commemorative Acts challenges these prevailing assumptions about the memory of the Great War and its literary expression in interwar France by spotlighting theatrical works that have largely been forgotten. The book uncovers how the dominance of first-person accounts of soldiers' experiences has subtly, yet powerfully, narrowed our understanding of what the memory of the Great War can encompass. It explores how drama, structurally at odds with the first-person perspective and defined by its simultaneous modes of expression and reception, has been lost to collective memory. By examining the unique capacity of the dramatic form to capture war trauma, Commemorative Acts offers insights that differ from those of other literary genres, highlighting the theatre's potential to provide a more expansive and nuanced understanding of interwar memorial culture. Author Susan McCready is Professor of French at the University of South Alabama and the co-director for the Center for the Study of War and Memory at South Alabama; she is also the author of 2016's Staging France between the World Wars: Performance, Politics, and the Transformation of the Theatrical Canon and 2007's The Limits of Performance in the French Romantic Theatre, as well as the co-editor of Novel Stages: Drama and the Novel in Nineteenth-Century France in 2007. She has also co-edited a volume of Lingua Romana on France and Memory in the Great War, and has authored many academic articles and chapters on French theater and related topics, as well as a number of public humanities projects on war and memory.  Host Gina Stamm is Associate Professor of French at The University of Alabama, with research concentrated on the environmental humanities and speculative literatures of the 20th and 21st centuries, from Surrealism to contemporary science fiction and feminist utopias, in Metropolitan  France and the francophone Caribbean, with a book manuscript in progress on posthumanist ecological engagement in the surrealist movement.

"We have to go back! (?)" Remember Shuffle turns to one of the premiere network TV dramas of the 2000s, ABC's "Lost," proof that you can't quite fit the round peg of creator-driven, prestige-style drama into the square hole of a traditional TV network. After introducing the ensemble cast of melodramatically tragic characters, the Shuffle Bois + Sam do season-long plot recaps of a show that became increasingly unhinged as it went on, going from a survival drama to an alternate-universe, time-travelling, metaphysical quest between good and evil. They then analyze the very obvious themes of this show - faith, fate, leadership, and morality - before describing the unique style of this particular cultural artifact.

Drawing on memory studies and theatrical history, Commemorative Acts: French Theatre and the Memory of the Great War (University of Toronto Press, 2025) analyses a neglected body of plays staged in France after the Great War, between 1918 and 1937, to reveal their profound impact on collective memory and cultural identity. In the aftermath of the Great War, a remarkable wave of collective commemoration emerged, but the aesthetic diversity of this period has often been overshadowed by a singular focus on the combatant experience, primarily conveyed through fiction and memoir. This selective historical narrative has fostered a homogenized memory of the war, neglecting the rich array of cultural productions that also emerged alongside it. Commemorative Acts challenges these prevailing assumptions about the memory of the Great War and its literary expression in interwar France by spotlighting theatrical works that have largely been forgotten. The book uncovers how the dominance of first-person accounts of soldiers' experiences has subtly, yet powerfully, narrowed our understanding of what the memory of the Great War can encompass. It explores how drama, structurally at odds with the first-person perspective and defined by its simultaneous modes of expression and reception, has been lost to collective memory. By examining the unique capacity of the dramatic form to capture war trauma, Commemorative Acts offers insights that differ from those of other literary genres, highlighting the theatre's potential to provide a more expansive and nuanced understanding of interwar memorial culture. Author Susan McCready is Professor of French at the University of South Alabama and the co-director for the Center for the Study of War and Memory at South Alabama; she is also the author of 2016's Staging France between the World Wars: Performance, Politics, and the Transformation of the Theatrical Canon and 2007's The Limits of Performance in the French Romantic Theatre, as well as the co-editor of Novel Stages: Drama and the Novel in Nineteenth-Century France in 2007. She has also co-edited a volume of Lingua Romana on France and Memory in the Great War, and has authored many academic articles and chapters on French theater and related topics, as well as a number of public humanities projects on war and memory.  Host Gina Stamm is Associate Professor of French at The University of Alabama, with research concentrated on the environmental humanities and speculative literatures of the 20th and 21st centuries, from Surrealism to contemporary science fiction and feminist utopias, in Metropolitan  France and the francophone Caribbean, with a book manuscript in progress on posthumanist ecological engagement in the surrealist movement.

In der Türkei lautet das Motto: All-Inclusive - Gastfreundlichkeit, warme Temperaturen im November, und tolle Sandstrände. Egal in welcher Hotelkategorie: Wer günstig Strandurlaub machen will, ist an der türkischen Riviera richtig. 20 Millionen Gäste lassen es sich jedes Jahr auf den Sonnenliegen bei Antalya und Umgebung gut gehen. Besonders schön: Der weiße Sandstrand in Side. Hier gibt es auch Kultur und Abenteuerurlaub: Sides Altstadt begeistert mit einem antiken griechisch-römischen Theater und einem Apollotempel – erbaut durch die Sklaven der Römer im 1. Jahrhundert nach Christus. Auch ein Abstecher nach Manavgat, wo die Wasserfälle und ein Raftingausflug warten. Die Menschen sprechen überwiegend deutsch und englisch. Nur beim Essen und Trinken sollten Urlauber vorsichtig sein. Gut verdauliche kontinentaleuropäische Küche gibt es auch bei einer Hotelkategorie von 5 Sternen nicht immer „safe“. Hier sollte man unbedingt im Reisebüro oder bei Bekannten fragen und sich vorab Infos über deren Erfahrungen holen. Absolut sehenswert ist das Antalya Aquarium, das ein Lübecker in Leben gerufen hat. Es gibt insgesamt 64 Becken mit einem Wasservolumen von 6.800 Kubikmetern und dem größten Tunnelaquarium der Welt: Es ist in der Mitte 131 Meter lang und 3 Meter breit. Die Dekoration wurde vom italienischen Bildhauer Benedetti in Afrika entworfen und enthält lebensgroße Trümmer von Flugzeugen, Schiffen und U-Booten. Reportagen von Dr. Thorsten Philipps

Russlands Staatsmedien feiern die Wiedereröffnung des Theaters in Mariupol. Sie leugnen, dass es 2022 bei einem russischen Luftangriff zerstört wurde.

Step into the shadowed corridors of history with the latest episode of Cryptic Chronicles as we unravel the enigmatic world of Renaissance demonology. This was a time when the arcane intersected with the intellectual, as scholars, theologians, and occultists sought to catalog the infernal hierarchy and decode the mysteries of dark spirits. In this episode, we delve into the era's most infamous grimoires, explore the influence of Renaissance magic on the perception of demons, and examine how cultural and religious shifts shaped humanity's understanding of the supernatural. Whether you're fascinated by the lore of infernal pacts or the philosophical debates of the time, this episode shines a light on the Renaissance's complex dance with the demonic.

The new wave of outrage from lawmakers over Jeffrey Epstein is less a moral awakening than a stage play. For years, these same politicians happily accepted his money, attended his events, and ignored survivors' pleas. Now, with the cameras rolling, they've reinvented themselves as crusaders for justice. Their speeches are choreographed performances — complete with dramatic pauses and crocodile tears — designed to look like courage but reeking of political survival. Survivors don't need applause lines or hashtags; they needed action years ago, when it might have made a difference.What we're really watching is hypocrisy in motion. The very people who enabled Epstein's influence machine now use outrage as a costume to launder their reputations. They hope the public will forget the donations, the fundraisers, and the Rolodex connections, but the record doesn't disappear just because they suddenly discovered empathy. This isn't justice, it's theater — and if they believe they can posture without being called out, they've underestimated how much the audience has been paying attention.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

THEATER, BATTLESHIPS, AND THE ILLUSION OF AMERICAN POWER Colleagues Gaius and Germanicus, Friends of History Debating Society, Londinium, 91 AD. Gaius and Germanicus discuss the theatrical nature of American imperial power under Donald Trump, positing that the administration utilizes military displays—such as missile strikes on empty targets in Nigeria or Venezuela—as symbolic rituals to assert authority without risking the failure associated with actual combat. Germanicus argues that Trump possesses the insight that "theater is the best way to assert American authority," drawing a parallel to Reagan's "Star Wars" initiative, which defeated the Soviets through the illusion of technological superiority rather than its reality. They debate the strategic utility of battleships; while Trump envisions massive vessels for their psychological hold on the "collective imagination," Germanicus predicts the construction of guided missile cruisers that merely project that image of invincibility. The conversation shifts to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, where Germanicus characterizes the Kyiv government as a "gangster racket" protracting the war for financial gain while Russia solidifies its military reputation. They conclude that the US is transitioning into a phase of empire relying on "demonstration and display" to maintain global dominance, warning that an actual military defeat could be a fatal blow to the system.
