Today, we welcome Dennis Welch — a lifelong songwriter and creative force who is now experiencing a remarkable musical renaissance in his sixties. Dennis has written more than 500 songs, published two books, played concerts far and wide, and built a body of work anchored in one central identity: storyteller.Dennis's WebsiteDennis on YouTube@Poo_Welch on InstagramDennis's Facebook pageAfter recording an album in 2000, Dennis continued writing but went 18 years without releasing new music… until a single moment changed everything. When his longtime friend, Little River Band guitarist Rich Herring, heard one of Dennis's songs, he offered to produce a single — which turned into an album, and then another, all landing on the first Grammy ballot in multiple categories.His newest album, Strong, released this July, continues this extraordinary creative chapter. Dennis's message is simple but powerful: Never give up. Keep creating. You never know what's around the next corner.A Renaissance at Sixty: Why Now?Dennis, your story is such a powerful example of perseverance. After releasing an album in 2000, you kept writing but didn't return to the studio for nearly two decades. What was happening creatively during those years — and what made this the right moment to reemerge?The Song That Changed EverythingWhen Rich Herring heard one of your songs and offered to produce a single, it sparked an entire new era of your career. Tell us about that moment. What did you feel when you realized this might be the beginning of something big?Storytelling as Your LegacyYou've said that if you could be remembered for just one word, it would be storyteller. How does storytelling show up in your songwriting today, and how has your perspective evolved across 500+ songs?Three Albums, Two Grammy Ballots, and a Creative SurgeWhat Love Makes Us Do and If I Live to Be a Hundred both made the first Grammy ballot in five categories — and now you've released Strong. What themes, emotions, or experiences shaped this newest album?Advice for Creatives Who Feel “It's Too Late”Your message is incredibly encouraging: Don't ever give up. Tune out the naysayers. Do what you're here for. What do you want other artists — especially those who feel their creative window is closing — to understand from your journey?Dennis, if you could leave our listeners with one thought about sustaining creativity across a lifetime — what would it be?Thanks to our sponsor, White Cloud Coffee Roasters.

Teaching students to write well has always been challenging, and newer developments have made it even more difficult: The internet offers unlimited text to plagiarize, standardized testing has pushed us to teach more formulaic writing, and AI constantly offers to do our writing for us. Frustrated with her students' lack of confidence and the robotic style of their writing, language arts teacher Nashwa Elkoshairi tried adding freewriting before and after her inquiry-based units. The results, she says, were dramatic: Students became more confident as writers and their writing developed far more depth and complexity than she'd ever seen before. In this episode, she joins me to talk about how she weaves freewriting into her classroom practice. ___________________________ Thanks to Renaissance and SchoolAI for sponsoring the episode.

Certificates of deposit have been around since the days of bank vacation clubs and paper passbooks. But they've caught up to the digital age, and then some, thanks to the vision and passion of a Seattle-based banker. John Blizzard, Founder of CD Valet, takes us through the ins and outs of an online destination that offers customers some 40,000 choices, likely making it the largest such marketplace in the world. He also shares his views on how forces ranging from AI-driven search to interest rate pressure could shape (and shake) the CD environment in the months ahead.

Slavery was foundational to ancient societies, but it was never a single thing: The experiences of the enslaved varied dramatically depending on when and where they lived, who owned them, and most of all, the jobs they had to do. Slavery was never good, but there were better and worse versions, and in this episode, we'll explore some of the variation that shaped the lives of enslaved people.Patrick launched a brand-new history show!

Marguerite d'Angoulême, sœur de François Ier, incarne l'élégance et l'intelligence d'une femme de la Renaissance. Reine de Navarre par son mariage, elle joue un rôle politique et culturel majeur à la cour de son frère. Passionnée par les arts et les idées, elle s'entoure de penseurs et d'artistes, contribuant activement au rayonnement intellectuel de son époque. Mais au-delà de son rôle de régente et de diplomate, Marguerite se distingue par sa profonde humanité, sa foi et son engagement pour la tolérance religieuse. Surnommée "la perle de François Ier", elle laisse un héritage culturel et intellectuel qui traverse les siècles."Secrets d'Histoire" est un podcast d'Initial Studio, adapté de l'émission de télévision éponyme produite par la Société Européenne de Production ©2024 SEP / France Télévisions.

Le 25 janvier 1515, la cathédrale de Reims accueille le couronnement de François 1er, un moment solennel qui marque l'histoire de la France. Depuis le XIème siècle, c'est ici que se déroule le sacre des rois, à quelques rares exceptions près. Ce jour-là, Marguerite, sa sœur, est présente et ne cache pas sa joie de voir enfin son frère âgé de vingt ans accéder à la plus haute fonction du royaume, devenant ainsi l'homme le plus puissant de France."Secrets d'Histoire" est un podcast d'Initial Studio, adapté de l'émission de télévision éponyme produite par la Société Européenne de Production ©2024 SEP / France Télévisions.

Les négociations avec un Charle Quint intransigeant et sûr de ses positions sont dans l'impasse. François 1er est au plus mal. La situation à l'intérieur du royaume dirigé par sa mère Louise de Savoie, souffrante elle aussi, n'est pas très brillante. En l'absence du monarque le Parlement de Paris mais aussi la faculté de théologie de la Sorbonne prennent de plus en plus de pouvoir. La France attend un miracle. C'est Marguerite qui lui offre alors ce cadeau venu du ciel en allant rendre visite à son frère retenu prisonnier à Madrid."Secrets d'Histoire" est un podcast d'Initial Studio, adapté de l'émission de télévision éponyme produite par la Société Européenne de Production ©2024 SEP / France Télévisions.

In the summer of 1488, a King of Scots lay dying in a flour mill, allegedly murdered by a man disguised as a priest. But how did James III - a man who preferred lutes to longswords and architects to Earls - find himself fleeing for his life from his own son? This week, we're venturing just north of the border and slightly back in time to explore the chaotic, culture-clashing reign of James III. From the dramatic "kidnapping" of his childhood to the brutal executions at Lauder Bridge and the mystery of his final moments at Sauchieburn, we look at a monarch who was perhaps too "Renaissance" for his own good. We'll also trace the thread that leads directly to the Tudor dynasty, exploring how this medieval tragedy set the stage for the "Union of the Thistle and the Rose" and the eventual rise of the United Kingdom. It's a story of gold, betrayal, and a lifelong penance worn in the form of an iron belt. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hello, Booty Gang—sound the alarms and clutch your pearls, because the whole gang is back in the studio. That's right: Dr. Carlton, Dangilo, and Producer Tony are all present, accounted for, and emotionally unprepared.This week's episode has everything: travel tales, worked holes (allegedly), international steam, and listener feedback that proves you are paying attention—and taking notes. Dr. Carlton kicks things off with a Palm Springs recap that can only be described as restorative, adventurous, and very hydrating. Let's just say the desert wasn't the only thing getting worked, and leave it there before the HOA gets involved.Meanwhile, Producer Tony returns freshly marinated from Italy and wastes zero time taking us inside a Florence bathhouse experience that answers the age-old question: Is the Renaissance alive and well? (Spoiler: yes, and she's naked.)In listener land, the Booty Gang is fired up. We've got two thoughtful, spicy reactions to our reaction to the Las Culturistas vs. Jasmine Crockett moment—because nothing says community like layered discourse with a side of shade. Add in a Booty Gangster who is struggling with dryness (we're talking Sahara, not personality), and another listener sliding into Dr. Carlton's inbox with questions about Spring Blooms that are less “fresh florals” and more “is this normal?”It's a classic Butt Honestly episode: equal parts sex-ed, group chat chaos, cultural commentary, and lovingly inappropriate oversharing. Educational? Yes. Unhinged? Occasionally. Entertaining? Always.So settle in, hydrate accordingly, and enjoy an episode that proves once again—when the whole crew shows up, things get slippery fast.

In this episode, Megan and Frank explore the prophecies of Nostradamus. Nostradamus was a prophet--but what is a prophet? What should we make of his seemingly accurate predictions of major world events? Do prophetic powers imply that the future is determined? Or are we simply bound to an immovable fate? And what, if anything, does Nostradamus have to tell us about our futures? Thinkers discussed include: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Friedrich Nietzsche, Brian Leiter, and David Foster Wallace.Hosts' Websites:Megan J Fritts (google.com)Frank J.

Recorded live at Cloud Connections in Delray Beach, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Jon Brinton, Chief Revenue Officer at Crexendo, about how artificial intelligence is reshaping voice communications—and why 2026 may mark a turning point for the industry. Brinton described what he sees as a “renaissance of voice.” After years in which enterprises attempted to push customer interactions toward chat, email, and other less personal channels, advances in AI are restoring the central role of voice conversations. Modern AI applications, he noted, are making voice interactions more natural, more efficient, and more valuable—reintroducing clarity and immediacy into customer communications strategies. That vision is reflected in Crexendo's recent product launch: CAIRO, an AI-powered receptionist and operator introduced earlier this year. Integrated directly into the NetSapiens platform, CAIRO is designed to give organizations of all sizes access to a highly capable, natural-language AI voice interface. Unlike generic AI assistants trained on external datasets, CAIRO is driven by each organization's own data, enabling fully customized interactions for businesses ranging from medical practices and school districts to local retailers. Brinton explained that CAIRO supports real-time, conversational voice interactions in multiple languages, including English and Spanish, with the flexibility to switch languages during a call. The AI can answer questions, route callers to departments, and assist with tasks such as scheduling—while always allowing seamless escalation to a human when needed. This blend of automation and human handoff reinforces voice as a core channel rather than a legacy one. From a channel perspective, Brinton emphasized that CAIRO represents a significant opportunity for Crexendo's partners. The solution is available both within Crexendo's VIP offering and to its global NetSapiens licensee community, which includes approximately 240 service providers serving more than seven million users worldwide. Partners can brand and bundle CAIRO as part of their own UCaaS offerings, creating new value-added revenue streams while enhancing customer experience. CAIRO is commercially available today and includes advanced features such as transcription and sentiment analysis, giving organizations deeper insight into customer interactions even after calls are completed. More information about Crexendo and its AI-powered communications solutions is available at https://www.crexendo.com/.

The daily news is filled with stories of division, wars, mass shootings, rights getting overturned, political chaos, and so much continuous devastation. What can we do collectively to ease the pain? Our guest today, scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., delves into the idea of finding possibility, even during these times of great grief. We have been conditioned to respond to the terrible, but it does not have to be this way. As an icon in the Human Potential movement, Jean shares ideas about how the Renaissance, with its advancements in music, art, poetry, and cosmology,  came after great plagues and times of war, much like the world's situation today. Could we be in a new Renaissance period now? We are once again in a similar time of radical growth, and we have the power within us to see new possibilities and reach mythical potential in our human evolution.   Jean shares stories of her travels and talks about her friendship with scholar Joseph Campbell and how they would have "beautiful fights" which were friendly arguments and deep discussions about mythology and the fate of humanity. Campbell wrote extensively about the "Hero's Journey," while Jean considered the "Heroine's Journey." Part of the problem is that 50% of the human race is not being recognized for women's immense creativity and power. Women's ways are missing. With an emphasis on compassion, cooperation, community, and process rather than product and competition, humane creativity must be celebrated by acknowledging the achievements of women.  She also talks about her fateful meeting of evolutionary philosopher and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who became one of her mentors when she was much younger. At an early age, they would have profound discussions of time, history, and transformation, as she gained an alternate education of possibilities through their talks.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Dima Zhelezov, a philosopher at SQD.ai, to explore the fascinating intersections of cryptocurrency, AI, quantum physics, and the future of human knowledge. The conversation covers everything from Zhelezov's work building decentralized data lakes for blockchain data to deep philosophical questions about the nature of mathematical beauty, the Renaissance ideal of curiosity-driven learning, and whether AI agents will eventually develop their own form of consciousness. Stewart and Dima examine how permissionless databases are making certain activities "unenforceable" rather than illegal, the paradox of mathematics' incredible accuracy in describing the physical world, and why we may be entering a new Renaissance era where curiosity becomes humanity's most valuable skill as AI handles traditional tasks.You can find more about Dima's work at SQD.ai and follow him on X at @dizhel.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Decentralized Data Lakes02:55 The Evolution of Blockchain Data Management05:55 The Intersection of Blockchain and Traditional Databases08:43 The Role of AI in Transparency and Control11:51 AI Autonomy and Human Interaction15:05 Curiosity in the Age of AI17:54 The Renaissance of Knowledge and Learning20:49 Mathematics, Beauty, and Discovery27:30 The Evolution of Mathematical Thought30:28 Quantum Mechanics and Mathematical Predictions33:43 The Search for a Unified Theory38:57 The Role of Gravity in Physics41:23 The Shift from Physics to Biology46:19 The Future of Human Interaction in a Digital AgeKey Insights1. Blockchain as a Permissionless Database Solution - Traditional blockchains were designed for writing transactions but not efficiently reading data. Dima's company SQD.ai built a decentralized data lake that maintains blockchain's key properties (open read/write access, verifiable, no registration required) while solving the database problem. This enables applications like Polymarket to exist because there's "no one to subpoena" - the permissionless nature makes enforcement impossible even when activities might be regulated in traditional systems.2. The Convergence of On-Chain and Off-Chain Data - The future won't have distinct "blockchain applications" versus traditional apps. Instead, we'll see seamless integration where users don't even know they're using blockchain technology. The key differentiator is that blockchain provides open read and write access without permission, which becomes essential when touching financial or politically sensitive applications that governments might try to shut down through traditional centralized infrastructure.3. AI Autonomy and the Illusion of Control - We're rapidly approaching full autonomy of AI agents that can transact and analyze information independently through blockchain infrastructure. While humans still think anthropocentrically about AI as companions or tools, these systems may develop consciousness or motivations completely alien to human understanding. This creates a dangerous "illusion of control" where we can operationalize AI systems without truly comprehending their decision-making processes.4. Curiosity as the Essential Future Skill - In a world of infinite knowledge and AI capabilities, curiosity becomes the primary limiting factor for human progress. Traditional hard and soft skills will be outsourced to AI, making the ability to ask good questions and pursue interests through Socratic dialogue with AI the most valuable human capacity. This mirrors the Renaissance ideal of the polymath, now enabled by AI that allows non-linear exploration of knowledge rather than traditional linear textbook learning.5. The Beauty Principle in Mathematical Discovery - Mathematics exhibits an "unreasonable effectiveness" where theories developed purely abstractly turn out to predict real-world phenomena with extraordinary accuracy. Quantum chromodynamics, developed through mathematical beauty and elegance, can predict particle physics experiments to incredible precision. This suggests either mathematical truths exist independently for AI to discover, or that aesthetic principles may be fundamental organizing forces in the universe.6. The Physics Plateau and Biological Shift - Modern physics faces a unique problem where the Standard Model works too well - it explains everything we can currently measure except gravity, but we can't create experiments to test the edge cases where the theory should break down. This has led to a decline in physics prominence since the 1960s, with scientific excitement shifting toward biology and, now, AI and crypto, where breakthrough discoveries remain accessible.7. Two Divergent Futures: Abundance vs. Dystopia - We face a stark choice between two AI futures: a super-abundant world where AI eliminates scarcity and humans pursue curiosity, beauty, and genuine connection; or a dystopian scenario where 0.01% capture all AI-generated value while everyone else survives on UBI, becoming "degraded to zombies" providing content for AI models. The outcome depends on whether we prioritize human flourishing or power concentration during this critical technological transition.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 23 janvier 2026.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste, ancien président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale.Matthias Fekl, avocat et ancien ministre de l'Intérieur.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.Lucile Schmid, présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit.À QUI PROFITE LE RETOUR DU 49.3 ?Sous la pression du chef de l'État Emmanuel Macron, des partis et de l'opinion, Sébastien Lecornu s'est résigné, lundi, à annoncer le recours à l'article 49 alinéa 3 de la Constitution pour faire adopter le projet de loi de finances pour 2026. Sans majorité, le locataire de Matignon a engagé la responsabilité de son gouvernement devant l'Assemblée nationale dès mardi. Pour la quatrième année de suite, le Parlement ne votera pas le budget de l'État, malgré 350 heures de débat sur trois mois. Trois recours au 49.3 seront, au minimum, nécessaires : un premier sur la partie recettes du texte, un autre sur la partie dépenses et un dernier, en lecture définitive, sur l'ensemble du projet de loi de finances, après un passage au Sénat. Le chef du gouvernement espère clore la séquence budgétaire au cours de la première semaine de février.Partant du principe qu'ils ne seraient jamais d'accord avec le centre et la droite sur la partie recettes du budget, le PS a concentré, avec succès, ses revendications sur la partie dépenses. Sébastien Lecornu a coché quasiment toutes les cases des demandes formulées par les socialistes : création de 2 000 postes supplémentaires dans l'Éducation nationale, maintien de l'aide personnalisée au logement et des bourses étudiantes, généralisation du repas au Crous à 1 € pour tous les étudiants, maintien du dispositif MaPrimeRénov', augmentation de la prime d'activité, des moyens des bailleurs sociaux et du nombre d'accompagnants d'élèves en situation de handicap …Dans le bloc central et à droite, de nombreux députés ont marqué leur insatisfaction. Si personne ne s'attendait à une copie budgétaire conforme à ses attentes, certains points sont difficiles à avaler pour les députés du socle commun. En particulier chez Les Républicains où le maintien de la surtaxe de l'impôt sur les sociétés à hauteur de 8 milliards d'euros ainsi que l'abandon de la fin de la cotisation sur la valeur ajoutée des entreprises sont perçus comme une hérésie fiscale. Toutefois, le MoDem a obtenu le maintien des bourses étudiantes, la droite sénatoriale la préservation d'une partie des dotations aux collectivités locales, Renaissance le non-rabot des allégements de charges, Laurent Wauquiez l'indexation complète du barème de l'impôt sur le revenu et la préservation du pouvoir d'achat des retraités. Dès l'annonce du compromis noué par Sébastien Lecornu avec le PS, les deux têtes du parti, Bruno Retailleau et Laurent Wauquiez, n'ont d'ailleurs pas hésité à qualifier ce budget de « socialiste » et « imparfait », sans toutefois brandir la menace d'une éventuelle censure.Pour sa part, le président de la République a salué un budget qui permet « au pays d'avancer » et « de garantir une stabilité ».DE QUOI LE GROENLAND EST-IL L'ENJEU ?Plus grande île du monde (près de quatre fois la France métropolitaine),situé entre l'océan Atlantique Nord et l'océan Arctique, le Groenland, territoire danois autonome, est recouvert à 80 % par une calotte glaciaire. Il est peuplé d'environ 56.000 habitants, majoritairement Inuits, dont un tiers vit à Nuuk, la capitale. Depuis un an, la Maison-Blanche affirme que les États-Unis auraient « besoin » de s'étendre et que prendre le Groenland est, pour les Etats-Unis, une nécessité « vitale », une question de « sécurité nationale ». Or, le Groenland est déjà le pré carré des Américains dans l'Arctique. Ils y ont établi la base la plus septentrionale de leur arsenal, à 1500 km de Nuuk et 1200 km du cercle polaire arctique. Plus d'une centaine de soldats y sont déployés en permanence. Pour justifier ce besoin pressant de s'approprier un territoire de l'Otan, Donald Trumpa a déclaré : « Le Groenland est rempli de navires chinois et russes, partout. » Le président américain semble confondre le Groenland et l'océan Arctique ainsi que sa banquise. Car il n'y a pas l'ombre d'un Russe ou d'un Chinois au Groenland.Autre raison de l'intérêt suscité par le territoire autonome : les ressources naturelles, et notamment les terres rares, dont le sous-sol groenlandais regorge : cobalt, graphite, lithium, nickel, zinc, etc. Ces métaux entrent dans la fabrication des batteries, des éoliennes et de nombreux équipements électroniques. L'uranium constitue un autre point sensible. Pourtant, jusqu'à présent, très peu de projets d'extraction ont vu le jour. La mine est une activité surtout nécessitant des routes d'accès, des voies ferrées pour évacuer les métaux, des ports pour exporter le minerai, ainsi que des installations de première transformation. Or les infrastructures de ce type sont très limitées au Groenland qui a tenté pendant plus de cinquante ans d'exploiter du pétrole, avant de renoncer au début des années 2020.Comme dans le cas du Venezuela, l'énergie n'est pas l'unique prétexte d'agir pour Donald Trump qui veut pouvoir mettre à son crédit politique l'augmentation artificielle de la grandeur d'un pays, déjà plus grand que les autres. Le réel enjeu économique semble être celui des voies de navigation – qui se double d'un enjeu sécuritaire. Le Groenland se situe à proximité d'anciennes routes maritimes arctiques qui promettent de devenir de plus en plus facilement praticables en raison de l'accélération du réchauffement climatique – avec un impact plus immédiat sur la logistique militaire que sur l'économie mondiale.À Davos, mercredi, le président américain a déclaré qu'il n'utiliserait finalement pas la force pour conquérir le Groenland. Puis le Secrétaire général de l'Otan a proposé à Donald Trump un transfert de souveraineté de la base militaire de Pituffik. Reste à faire approuver ces concessions aux Danois et aux Groenlandais. Ces derniers se sont déjà insurgés contre cette proposition.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

You first heard Katie Parla on our show a couple years ago when we recorded a live episode at Omnivore Books (hi Celia!) in San Francisco to discuss her then-newest cookbook, Food of the Italian Islands. [Listen to that chat here.] Now, Katie's back with her 11th cookbook and it's a deep-dive into Roman history and cuisine. Born in New Jersey, Katie has called Rome home for more than two decades and she's been obsessed with uncovering the city's culinary—and non-culinary—history the whole time. She's written culinary guides, hosted TV shows and podcasts, showed folks like Stanley Tucci and Andrew Zimmern where to eat in Rome, and built a tour company. This new book distills much of what she's researched—and ate—into a 350+ page opus titled Rome: A Culinary History, Cookbook, and Field Guide to Flavors that Built a City. Part guide book, part history book, part cookbook—this is a love letter to the city that's been feeding people for over 2,700 years.Late last year, I met up with Katie for an evening tour of Trastevere. What struck my most about our conversation is how Katie approaches Roman food as not a static collection of recipes, but very much a living and evolving story that reflects everything the city has been through: ancient empire, Renaissance opulence, cucina povera, Jewish ghetto traditions, modern immigration, and more.--Additional Music Credits:Beat Mekanik - Stylin' (FreeMusicArchive) This is a public episode.

What if the Renaissance wasn't a rebirth at all, but a survival strategy dressed in marble and Latin? We sit down with historian and novelist Ada Palmer to unwind the stories that turned a chaotic, war-ridden Italy into a “golden age” and explore why those stories still shape our politics, schools, and museums. Ada shows how nineteenth-century nationalism carved custom Renaissances for each country, how rulers redefined legitimacy as “having Roman stuff,” and why art, libraries, and Latin became tools of intimidation in a Europe full of insecure thrones.Step inside Florence with a visiting envoy and feel how a courtyard of emperor busts, a child reciting Greek, and a bronze that looks alive can flip alliances overnight. Follow the printing press not as a spark but as a response to a library boom, amplified by Venice's trade networks and the first book fairs. Track how Europe exported “no columns, no culture” across empires, pushing colonized elites to argue their rights in Ciceronian Latin because that was the only language of power the conquerors respected. And watch the myth of superiority assemble itself, piece by piece, into a worldview that still colors public debate.Ada also challenges the feel-good claim that destruction breeds creation. Michelangelo's own letters describe years lost to stress and war; peace and stability, not crisis, are what grow output and invention. Think of history as a river: trickles, leaf-widths, canoe-widths, all real beginnings depending on what you measure. Along the way, we touch on Machiavelli's brutal eyewitness era, the Ottoman refusal to play a game Italy would always win, and the practical mechanics of censorship—past and present—that rarely resemble Orwell.If you're ready to rethink the Renaissance, question neat timelines, and see how propaganda becomes common sense, this conversation will give you new lenses.

The idea that Anne Boleyn was "corrupted in France has been repeated in popular histories and documentaries, often stated as fact, sometimes even placed in quotation marks, as if it were securely sourced. But is it? In this video, I trace where that idea comes from and what the evidence actually says. We'll look at: Anne's seven formative years at the French court The oft-quoted remarks attributed to Francis I The claim that Henry VIII told the Imperial ambassador that Anne had been “corrupted” in France How later writers inflated ambiguous phrases into supposed proof And how a chain of interpretation, historical “Chinese whispers”, turned rumour into “fact” When you follow the sources back to their origins, the picture changes.  What emerges is not a story of sexual scandal, but one of education, cultural formation, and Renaissance courtly polish.

On n'a ni gardé les cochons, ni été en classe ensemble… et pourtant, je sais un truc certain sur votre passé à l'école, que ce soit en France, en Belgique ou au Canada, en primaire ou au lycée, qu'importe ! Vos profs vous ont forcément fait cours sur Léonard de Vinci. Pourquoi ? Peut-être pour se simplifier la vie ! En effet, la Renaissance a compté une foule d'artistes, peintres, sculpteurs, architectes et inventeurs de génie. Mais Léonard, sans être le meilleur dans chaque catégorie, avait un atout. Il les a toutes essayées. Donc, en un seul nom, en une seule vie, votre maître ou maîtresse pouvait vous faire comprendre presque toute la Renaissance. Mais moi je pose la question qui dérange : est-ce que Léonard était particulièrement bon ? Ou est-ce que dans chaque domaine, c'était l'éternel second, le touche-à-tout qui n'approfondit et ne finit jamais son travail ? Pour le savoir, on va creuser un aspect de sa vie : ses inventions !Bonne écoute !

The Medici are remembered as enlightened patrons of art—the family behind Michelangelo, Botticelli, and the Renaissance itself.That version of history is incomplete.In this episode of Hidden Forces in History, we strip away the marble and mythology to examine Medici family as they actually were: a private banking dynasty that embedded itself inside moral authority, captured a republic without abolishing it, and rewrote its legacy through art, architecture, and storytelling.We follow the money—from Florentine ledgers to the Vatican—showing how the Medici:• Plugged into Church finance to gain leverage across Europe• Used patronage as a form of long-term propaganda• Helped trigger the Reformation through indulgence financing• Lost their bank—but preserved their legendThis isn't just a Renaissance story.It's a repeatable playbook—one still used by modern elites, foundations, and institutions today.Same system.Different century.

Term coined by English philosopher, Jeremy Bentham, concept of international law can be traced back to the Renaissance, becoming prominent and legitimized in post-WWII increasingly globalized world. We discussed, the state of International Law in 2026, its successes and failures over the years, cases of Venezuela, Iran, Yugoslavia and, possibly, Greenland. Enjoy!

SaaStr 838: The Present and Future of AI in Sales and GTM with SaaStr's CEO and Owner's CRO Jason Lemkin on Going All-In on AI Agents: 20 Agents, Zero SDRs, and the Death of Mid-Pack Sales Jason Lemkin, Founder and CEO of SaaStr, sits down with Kyle Norton, CRO at Owner, to share the raw story of how frustration with sales team turnover pushed him to deploy 20 AI agents in under a year, and why we'll never go back. In this episode, we cover: → Why Jason stopped hiring SDRs after two senior reps ghosted him right before SaaStr Annual → The real reason most AI agent deployments fail (hint: it's not the technology) → How to pick your first AI vendor: "Talk to your forward deployed engineer before you sign" → Why Salesforce is having a Renaissance as the hub for AI agents → The brutal truth about mid-pack sales jobs being in "terminal decline" → How to get started with AI agents when your CFO won't give you budget → AgentForce vs. the hot startups: what actually works in production → Why the $250K SDR is coming, but only for the truly elite Jason's advice for revenue leaders: "Roll up your sleeves. If you haven't trained an agent yourself, you'll be utterly ignorant in the age of AI."

Use Dio as a scapegoat, because we are back for our surprise eighth season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're beginning the year by going all the way back to 2012's offering in Iceland & Spain! Over these nine weeks, three guys who have succeeded by failing - Logan, Michael & Bindles - are recapping and negotiating their way through everything that happened on another season with a very interesting backstory now built upon further by Renaissamce, continuing with the second episode and elimination of Logan's favourite Dio. In this episode - Logan requests a cold open, there's some more Traitors talk, Dom is inexplicably still a thing, Dio takes a beating, we try and break the staircase challenge, Logan finds a note from last week, Michael reveals what his category for The Floor would have been, Bindles tries to get Logan cancelled, Audio description is inherently funny, Logan workshops an accent, we try and remember how last minute the switch to Iceland was, William finds a way to keep warm, we accidentally predict something, a fate is avoided, Dio gets a eulogy, Logan locks in his second set of suspicions and Bindles poses a very interesting question. Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Episode 3! Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with our coverage of Seasons 9, 11, 14, 16 & 17, there are no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before. However, any season we have already covered (WIDM 9-11, 14, 16-25 and Renaissance; België 4-13) is fair game though.  This episode is supported by our friends over at Zencastr.

Anne Boleyn didn't arrive at Henry VIII's court as an inexperienced girl dazzled by a king. She arrived as someone who had already been shaped inside two of the most sophisticated Renaissance courts in Europe. In this second episode of my Anne Boleyn series, we go back to the years that formed her: first to Mechelen, to the court of Margaret of Austria, regent of the Low Countries and one of the most powerful women in Europe - her court a cultural powerhouse famed for learning, art, music, and the rituals of courtly life. And then to France, where Anne served Queen Claude for nearly seven years, witnessing queenship up close and immersing herself in the Renaissance. Along the way, we'll explore: why Margaret's court was called Europe's “premier finishing school” Anne's own letter from abroad and what it reveals about her formation the French court of Francis I and the Renaissance world Anne moved in major events Anne may have witnessed, including the Field of Cloth of Gold and the courtly love culture Anne absorbed abroad, and how that style of sociability would later be used against her in England If you want to understand why Anne stood out when she returned home, and why Henry VIII saw her as more than a fling, you have to start here.

This is a truly wide-ranging and phenomenal episode as Jimmy welcomes Dave Chisholm onto the podcast to discuss his newest series with Mad Cave Studios: Is Ted OK? Issue #1 is out February 25, 2026. This series contains some of Dave's best work today, which is a high bar looking at his previous comics including the recent Spectrum with Rick Quinn. Dave discuses how every choice in his comics is deliberate and work to serve the story and compel the narrative forward. Dave also discusses his work on Spectrum and his different approach to that comic compared to Is Ted OK? Dave also drops a fascinating anecdote about the early Renaissance composer Guillaume Du Fay, and I've included a link below to an example of that music. Follow Dave on Bluesky Pre-Order Is Ted OK?

This is a story about Ted and Sarah. Ted, isolated and paranoid, works for a mega-corporation owned by the world's only trillionaire. He suffers from night terrors, obsessively draws the same mysterious figures again and again, all while listening to one track of music on repeat–oh, and the only “person” he ever talks to is a stray cat. His humanity is hanging by a thread. Sarah is a new arrival to the city, fighting her own demons, and her job is to remotely spy on Ted to ensure he doesn't hurt anyone…or himself. When Ted's mental state begins to crack, Sarah compassionately intervenes to help, and things go catastrophically wrong. IS TED OK? mashes up the paranoid existentialism of SEVERANCE with the cosmic sci-fi of AKIRA while exploring what happens when the act of help goes horribly wrong. Follow Comic Book Yeti

What happens when you pull back the curtain on how architectural lighting actually gets made—from whiteboard sketch to installation—and discover the hidden complexity, creative tension, and human ingenuity behind every luminaire?nnIn this episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel sits down with two veterans from opposite ends of the manufacturing spectrum: Gary Trott from Acuity Brands (one of the largest lighting manufacturers in North America) and Tom Howe from Kelvix (a nimble, specification-focused flexible linear company). Together, they unpack the entire product development journey—the messy, exhilarating, frustrating, and deeply collaborative process that transforms an idea into the light you experience in buildings every day.nnThis isn't a sales pitch or a product demo. It's a rare, candid look at what it really takes to design, engineer, source, manufacture, and deliver lighting in an industry where nothing is standard, every project is different, and the pressure to move fast constantly battles the need to get it right. From the roller coaster of engineering pilots to the art of saying "no" to impossible requests, Gary and Tom reveal the uncomfortable truths about an industry caught between creativity and commerce, innovation and execution, vision and reality.nnThey discuss why service matters more than product, how architectural brands can thrive inside big companies, and why luminaire design is experiencing a Renaissance now that LED technology has stabilized. The conversation goes deep into supply chain strategy, the myth that one person can do it all, the critical role of controls, and why curiosity—not market demand—drives true innovation. Along the way, they bust myths, share war stories, and explain why even a "simple" two-foot change can ripple through an entire manufacturing process.nn

In this episode of Christ the Center, we welcome Josiah Leinbach to discuss William Whitaker's A Disputation on Holy Scripture—a monumental sixteenth-century defense of sola Scriptura, newly edited and republished by Prolego Press. Written in 1588 against leading Roman Catholic theologians such as Robert Bellarmine, Whitaker's work offers a comprehensive treatment of Scripture's authority, canon, clarity, and sufficiency. Leinbach explains how Whitaker combined Renaissance humanism with scholastic rigor, engaging Scripture, church history, and patristic sources to show that Protestant convictions about Scripture were neither novel nor reactionary, but deeply rooted in the catholic tradition of the church. The conversation also explores the modern relevance of Whitaker's work—especially amid contemporary debates over authority, tradition, and ecumenism. Leinbach reflects on how advances in historical and textual scholarship have confirmed many of the Reformers' arguments, while Rome's own positions have shifted over time. Whitaker's insistence on the perspicuity of Scripture, the singular infallibility of God's Word, and the Spirit's inward testimony offers not only apologetic clarity but deep pastoral comfort. This episode invites listeners to recover confidence in Scripture as God's clear and sufficient means of revealing Christ to his people.
