We welcome David Noe and Chad Van Dixhoorn to discuss the first volume in Reformation Heritage Books' new edition of The Works of Samuel Rutherford: Arminianism: A Systematic and Theological Response. Noe translated the work from Latin, while Van Dixhoorn serves as general editor of the series and edited and introduced this volume.The conversation explores Rutherford's significance as a leading theologian of seventeenth-century Scotland and a commissioner to the Westminster Assembly. Rather than treating Arminianism as merely five disputed points of salvation, Rutherford examines it as a theological system reaching into the doctrine of God, divine simplicity, providence, human freedom, ecclesiology, and the sacraments. The guests also discuss the challenges of translating scholastic Latin, recovering manuscripts, correcting citations, and preparing a projected twenty-volume edition.Learn more at reformedforum.org/ctc969.Chapters0:00 Introduction2:08 David Noe joins the conversation5:45 Translation projects and Calvin's Latin Bible12:41 Reformed worship and the declaration of pardon15:29 The Works of Samuel Rutherford, Volume 117:47 A twenty-volume publishing project22:22 Samuel Rutherford and the Westminster Assembly23:54 Why Rutherford addressed Arminianism27:54 Why the book is more than an “examination”30:23 Arminianism as a theological system31:58 Divine simplicity and the doctrine of God33:56 Middle knowledge, freedom, and providence36:03 Rutherford's pastoral and rhetorical power41:57 Ecclesiology, sacraments, and scholastic method45:02 The craft and challenges of translation49:16 Difficult texts and inaccurate citations54:38 A second manuscript enters the project56:04 Translating Homer and the meaning of polytropos60:16 How to read Rutherford fruitfully62:55 Chad Van Dixhoorn joins the conversation63:19 Rutherford's stature in Scottish theology66:10 Arminianism involves more than five points68:20 The origins and scope of the Rutherford series70:38 The search for unpublished letters and sermons73:35 Rutherford's final years and posthumous legacy76:59 Assessing Rutherford's polemical judgments82:02 Why the volume remains valuable today83:30 What is next for the series85:02 ConclusionMentioned in this episode:Join Us In Person: Four Upcoming Reformed Forum EventsBefore today's episode, Camden Bucey shares four opportunities to gather with Reformed Forum in person over the coming months: Apologetics and Evangelism Seminar — August 4–5, 2026, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Taylors, SC.

The Chosen is being translated into 600 languages — and Wendy Lord, Vice President of Localization at Come and See Foundation, is overseeing the effort. She joins Brian From to talk about what that actually looks like on the ground: a theologian in India working through the Assamese translation who says the show is bringing fresh life to his own faith, a woman in Spain whose small group ministered to her for twelve years until she watched The Chosen and said "I finally get it." Then the conversation turns to AI — and Wendy makes a careful, specific case for it. In majority languages like Spanish and French, human voice actors and dubbing teams do the work. But in lower-resourced minority languages where those resources don't exist, AI is filling the gap in remarkable ways: accelerating Bible translation four to sixteen times faster than just a few years ago, and even applying the voices of The Chosen's original cast to single-person recordings so that pre-literate and illiterate communities who can't read subtitles can now hear the story of Jesus in their heart language. Wendy also shares what's coming next — Moses, the book of Acts, and a pipeline of new projects expanding far beyond the original seven seasons. Find The Chosen in the free Chosen mobile app, now available in 125 languages.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sean Hopwood, Founder and CEO of Day Translations, joins SlatorPod to talk about building a global language solutions integrator (LSI) over the past 20 years, adapting to AI, and why a passion for languages continues to shape the LSI's strategy.Sean reflects on how his entrepreneurial mindset and fascination with languages led him to launch Day Translations, which has grown from handling small community projects into serving enterprise, legal, medical, and government clients while remaining bootstrapped.He explains why human expertise remains central as the LSI adopts AI across its workflows, develops its own large language model for enterprise and government procurement, and plans to commercialize these capabilities while continuing to invest in technology.He discusses the DayInterpreting app, which integrates with Zoom and Microsoft Teams, supports rapid interpreter connections, and is already prepared for AI interpreting when customers require it.He argues that constant learning, business growth, and technological adaptation are essential for long-term success, while also stressing that translation plays a vital role in preserving cultures and protecting linguistic diversity.He concludes by outlining plans to expand the interpreting platform, strengthen the LSI's B2B focus, secure additional compliance certifications, and continue combining human expertise with AI-powered language solutions.

James and The Cat is a producer, DJ, and electronic music artist whose passion for melodic techno has been decades in the making. After beginning his journey behind the decks in the early 2000s and officially releasing music in 2015, he has steadily developed a sound that blends modern melodic textures with the deep, underground influences that first inspired him. His latest single, “Winter Breeze,” and new EP Translation represent the next chapter of that artistic evolution, showcasing a refined style rooted in emotion, atmosphere, and authentic electronic music culture. Having performed at the legendary Kingdom ATX during the early days of San Antonio's dance music scene, James and The Cat remains committed to preserving the spirit of underground electronic music while embracing the genre's continued evolution. In this interview, he discusses the inspiration behind his latest releases, the creative process that fuels his productions, the future of melodic techno, and the legacy he hopes to leave as an artist dedicated to pushing the culture forward.

Today's theme: Passive Voice

In this episode of Make Your Message a Movement, host Tiffany Neuman challenges the traditional marketing narrative that branding is about "reinventing" yourself or "manufacturing" an identity to get noticed. Drawing from her 20-plus years of experience (including her time as a Creative Director for global brands like Adidas and Burt's Bees) Tiffany argues that most people start in the middle of their branding story, which is why their brand of messaging always feels slightly “off”.She introduces a transformative concept called "The Great Remembering," a shift from branding-as-architecture to branding-as-archaeology. Tiffany explains that we don't actually have an "authenticity problem"; we have an "amnesia problem." By excavating the brilliance that is already present and stripping away borrowed language and industry expectations, leaders can bridge the gap between their internal Truth and external Translation.Key TakeawaysBranding as Archaeology, Not Architecture: Most strategists approach branding by trying to build something new. Tiffany suggests that the most powerful brands are "excavated." Like an archaeologist with a small brush, the goal is to carefully uncover the value already buried beneath layers of comparison, outgrown titles, and "shoulds."The "Amnesia" Problem: Authenticity isn't a future destination we reach by hiring a coach or reading a book. We lose our authenticity through small adaptations over time—adapting to success, industry norms, or what receives the most "applause." Branding is the process of remembering who you were before the adaptations took over.The Label Inside the Bottle: One of Tiffany's core philosophies is: "You can't see the label from inside the bottle." The things that are most remarkable about us often feel mundane because they come naturally. We assume our gifts are obvious to everyone, leading us to undervalue them and borrow other people's language instead.Truth vs. Translation: Uncovering your truth (The Excavation) is only the first half of the work. For a brand to be successful, that truth must be translated (The Architecture) into language, positioning, and an ecosystem that the market can understand and trust.Perspective Over Information: Transformation doesn't happen through a downloaded worksheet; it happens through conversation and a change in perspective. A great brand strategist reflects back patterns and connections that have become invisible to the client through familiarity.Rate, Review, and Follow on Your Favorite Platform!

Get the free Core Drives in the Wild guide, behavioral design applied to real products: professorgame.com/WildCD Episode Summary Michael Lukich, a marketing analytics leader with more than 20 years across consulting, data, and strategy, explains why the fix for a struggling team is almost never more effort. He walks through the closed-loop trap he built early in his management career, the systems thinking tools he now uses to find leverage points, and why over-measuring single marketing channels quietly starves the top of the funnel. Drawing on the Cabreras' DSRP model, Donella Meadows, and nearly 25 years at the poker table, he shows how to see a whole system instead of optimizing one piece to the detriment of the goal. Listeners come away with a practical way to map any system, pick a single North Star metric, and design loops that let a team improve on its own. About the Host Rob Alvarez is Head of Engagement Strategy, Europe at The Octalysis Group (TOG), a leading gamification and behavioral design consultancy. A globally recognized gamification strategist and TEDx speaker, he founded and hosts Professor Game, the #1 gamification podcast, and has interviewed hundreds of global experts. He designs evidence-based engagement systems that drive motivation, loyalty, and results, and teaches LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and gamification at top institutions including IE Business School, EFMD, and EBS University across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Key Takeaways Michael Lukich's early management trap was a closed loop with no exit: he could not step away until the team improved, and the team could not improve until he stepped away, which pushed him to 75-hour weeks before he redesigned the loop instead of adding effort. Accepting work at roughly 70 percent of his own output, paired with a tighter review cadence, let his team feel the consequences of their own decisions and turned him from a micromanager into a player coach. The "if you can't measure it, it doesn't exist" credo pushes budget toward easily measured lower-funnel channels and leaves the top of the funnel leaky, because no one can defend upper-funnel spend in a boardroom. The fix is whole-system measurement through multi-channel attribution and mixed models, not more measurement. Zynga over-relied on data and stacked Black Hat Core Drives that drive urgency and scarcity, a reminder that an A/B test measures one week, not how a feature performs as a system over two years. Derek and Laura Cabrera's DSRP model (Distinctions, Systems, Relationships, Perspectives) gives a four-part way to map almost any system, then find the bottleneck where one move has the biggest outsized effect. Poker trains decision-making under uncertainty and incomplete information, including the faulty learning loop where playing well can still lose and playing poorly can still win, which is why Michael says half the frameworks in his book started at the poker table.

Hakobo 5:14-15(buletin aki)

“What is happening today in America is part of a global political turn — and what's odd is how little the American people seem to realize it.” — Madeleine Schwartz So we've finally arrived. America is 250 today. But where, exactly, have we come? How should we think about the United States of America on July 4, 2026? Rather than peering inwards, Madeleine Schwartz — the Paris-based founder and editor-in-chief of The Dial — reverses the lens. Her anthology, How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump (The New Press), gathers twelve essays from writers in India, Canada, South Africa, Ukraine, Palestine, Taiwan, Turkey, Cuba, Egypt, Argentina, Italy, and Ireland. The result might be the most honest birthday message that America will receive today. What these writers all observe is the same extraordinary ambivalence about the United States. They describe a country that defines itself as the democratic purveyor of justice, while operating as a vast imperial and economic power that shapes the lives of the rest of the world. What's odd — and Schwartz uses that word carefully — is how few Americans seem to realise this is how the world sees them. “The question of America is vast. It is unrelenting and unanswerable and will not be silenced,” the Gaza poet Muhammad al-Zaqzouq notes in his essay. Happy birthday, odd America. You might not know it, but the rest of the world is watching. And they won't forget what they've seen. Five Takeaways •       The World's Ambivalence: Purveyor of Hope, Imperial Power: Schwartz's central finding from twelve countries of essays: the world does not simply hate or love America. It holds a profound ambivalence — between the country that presents itself as the beacon of hope and democracy, and the country that is a vast imperial and economic power that shapes the lives of billions who have no vote in its elections. This ambivalence is, she argues, almost impossible to fully understand from inside the United States, where the assumption of benign intent is so deep. The essays collectively diagnose what the US's retreat from that self-image means for the world's ability to find alternative frameworks. •       Turkey and America: Erdoğan and Trump Have Learned From Each Other: Kaya Genç's essay from Turkey is one of the collection's most original: the Turkish right has long admired the vast powers of the American presidency as a model to follow, even as that same right has been characterised by American commentators as anti-American or Islamist. The admiration was never for American values — for free speech or civil liberties — but for the structural power of the presidency. Trump, meanwhile, has learned from Erdoğan's playbook of media control, legal intimidation, and institutional capture. The learning has gone in both directions. What is happening in America, Genç argues, is not exceptional — it is part of a global turn. •       Taiwan: Self-Defence Classes and Going It Alone: Michelle Kuo's essay from Taiwan describes a country that has fundamentally revised its relationship with the United States. For decades, many Taiwanese believed that by adhering to certain principles — upholding liberal values, supporting LGBTQ rights, maintaining civil liberties — they would gain American favour and the protection that came with it. That thinking is now gone. People in Taiwan are taking self-defence classes, preparing for a possible Chinese invasion without the expectation of outside help. And the values they uphold — civil liberties, LGBTQ rights — are upheld now because they actually want them, not to please Washington. •       The Dial: 90 Countries, One Third in Translation, Based in Paris: Schwartz founded The Dial four years ago in response to a sense that American media was turning catastrophically inward, unable to understand its own moment without comparison to what was happening elsewhere. The magazine publishes work from some 90 countries, about a third of it in translation, and aims to bring voices from outside the Anglophone foreign correspondent establishment. Several pieces from the book were reprinted in The Guardian. The anthology grew from a special issue published during the 2024 election, asking writers from around the world to look at the United States — a reversal of the magazine's usual direction. Schwartz will be talking about the book in Paris on July 4, not eating hot dogs. •       The Question of America: The Gaza Poet's Unanswerable Verdict: Muhammad al-Zaqzouq is a Gazan poet and father of three who has spent years trying to reach the United States, only to find that under Trump's America, asylum is no longer a possibility. His essay traces a lifetime of ambivalence — America as site of exclusion and segregation, America as specter of another possible life, America as the dream that institutions offer and that the firm hand of diplomacy snatches away. Schwartz reads the closing lines in the interview: “The question of America is vast. It is unrelenting and unanswerable and will not be silenced.” Of all the voices in the anthology, it is the one that stays. About the Guest Madeleine Schwartz is the founder and editor-in-chief of The Dial, an online magazine of culture, politics, and ideas with a focus on local writing from around the world. She is the editor of How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump (The New Press, June 9, 2026).

Artificial intelligence has made translation faster and more accessible than ever, but it isn't the right solution for every learning project. Interpro Translation Solutions' Nicholas Strozza, CEO, and Beshar Bahjat, Chief Technology Officer discuss how AI is changing translation, where human expertise remains essential, and what L&D leaders should consider when creating equitable learning experiences for multilingual audiences.Show Notes:Nicholas Strozza and Beshar Bahjat of Interpro Translation Solutions discuss the evolving role of AI in translation, the difference between translation and localization, and how organizations can balance speed, cost, quality, and learner experience when delivering training across languages. Key points include:Translation and localization are not the same thing. Translation converts content from one language to another, while localization adapts the entire learner experience—including language variations, imagery, audio, cultural references, and regional preferences.AI is a powerful starting point, not always a finished product. For many projects, AI can accelerate translation, but human review remains critical when accuracy, brand reputation, compliance, or learner safety are at stake.The right approach depends on your goals. Organizations should evaluate audience, content type, language, risk level, and long-term translation needs before deciding how much AI or human involvement is appropriate.Learning equity matters. Learners who speak another language deserve the same high-quality experience as English-speaking learners. Poor translations can negatively impact comprehension, engagement, accessibility, and training outcomes.Human expertise remains essential in the age of AI. Professional linguists increasingly serve as reviewers, editors, and quality experts who ensure translated content reflects local language, culture, terminology, and organizational standards.Learn more about Interpro Translation SolutionsPowered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

This lecture will focus on independently produced Chinese documentary cinema as it has entered the Anglophone industry market. Using “Plastic China” by the award-winning director Wang Jiuliang as a case study, I will explore what the implications of cross-border collaborations are for documentary form and content, and how this may encourage a particular set of viewer responses. This will allow me to locate the documentary form in relation to broader liberal arguments over China's place in the world system and assess the limitations of this approach to “going global” for independent Chinese documentary.This lecture was recorded by Luke Robinson on the 27th of May 2026Luke Robinson is a Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in Film Studies in the Faculty of Media, Arts, and Humanitiies, University of Sussex.He is the author of Independent Chinese Documentary: From the Studio to the Street, and the co-editor of two further collections on Chinese film culture: (with Chris Berry) Chinese Film Festivals: Sites of Translation and (with Chris Berry, Lydia Wu and Sabrina Yu) Chinese Independent Cinema: Past, Present, and a Questionable Future.His writing has appeared in books and journals including DV-made China, The New Chinese Documentary Movement, Vocal Projections, Screening China's Soft Power, positions: Asia cultures critique, Film Studies, Screen, and Journal of Chinese Cinemas.Between 2019 and 2025 he was co-investigator on the AHRC-funded project, “Independent Cinema in China: State, Market, and Film Culture”. One of the outcomes of this grant was the establishment of the Chinese Independent Film Archive, located at Newcastle University.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/chinese-documentaryGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

You can't scale chaos. In part two of Anthony's dugout-wisdom series, the guys turn a Little League first-base drill into one of the most important lessons in restaurant operations: secure the ball before you touch the bag. Translation—lock in your fundamentals, execution, and infrastructure before you chase growth, marketing, or a flashy opening. •      Coaching 11-year-olds, Anthony watched first basemen rush to touch the base for the out before actually catching the ball. The ball gets by them, runners advance, and the out never happens anyway. •      The restaurant parallel: operators chase the “out”—growth, buzz, a viral opening—before they've secured the “ball”: execution, trained staff, and working systems. Skip step one and step two is impossible. •      Do the basics extraordinarily well, and do them in the right order. Mastering the fundamentals isn't enough if your order of operations is backwards. •      Don't rush the opening. Chasing one extra week of revenue at the expense of training, checklists, and station setup costs you far more than it earns. •      You can't scale chaos. Going from one location to two exposes every undocumented system—SOPs that live in people's heads, plus build sheets, costings, recipes, and menu photos that never transferred. •      The viral-post trap: drawing a crowd while your staff is unstable and execution is low doesn't build your business—it burns it. Those guests don't come back, and the bad reviews outlast the hype. •      Flash vs. longevity: a viral opening that pulls in customers who never return, or a fundamentally sound operation that supports you and your family for 20 years? •      José Andrés' “Follow the Tomato” exercise—trace a single tomato from the distributor through receiving, prep, storage, and service all the way to the guest. You end up with a complete opening punch list, right down to the knives, forks, and napkins. •      The Cleveland Guardians—a master-the-basics model: small ball, fundamentals, and contention year after year on a fraction of the payroll (Francona era). •      Past Restauranttopia episodes referenced: the build sheet, launching a new location, and social media marketing.

A U.S. trademark is valuable, but it does not automatically protect your brand around the world. That is the big lesson in this article on international trademark protection, and it catches many founders and small business owners by surprise.In the United States, a federal trademark registration can support enforcement, licensing, investor diligence, marketplace complaints, and brand credibility. But trademark rights are generally territorial. Your U.S. registration usually protects you in the United States, while other countries and regions have their own trademark systems, rules, fees, deadlines, and enforcement standards.For a business planning to sell internationally, manufacture abroad, launch ecommerce campaigns, franchise, license, distribute products, or attract overseas customers, this matters quickly. A brand can become visible in another market long before the founder has thought through trademark protection there. Unfortunately, copycats, competitors, opportunistic distributors, and local filers may notice that visibility too.The article explains two common paths for protecting a trademark internationally. One path is filing directly in individual countries or regions. This can be useful when a company needs a customized local strategy, expects objections, or wants local counsel involved from the beginning.The second path is the Madrid Protocol, a centralized filing system that allows eligible trademark owners to seek protection in multiple member jurisdictions through one international application. It can be efficient, but it is not a single worldwide trademark. Each designated country can still examine the mark under its own laws and issue refusals, oppositions, or limitations.That distinction is important. Many business owners hear “international filing” and imagine one magical global certificate arriving with a tiny legal marching band. Reality is more practical. Madrid can simplify parts of the process, but it does not erase local trademark law.The article also walks through a step-by-step strategy. First, identify where the brand actually matters. Where are the customers? Where are products made? Where are distributors or licensees located? Where is expansion realistic? Filing everywhere can waste money, but filing nowhere can leave the business exposed.Third, conduct searches before entering new markets. Look for identical marks, similar marks, translations, phonetic equivalents, related goods and services, and local-language issues. A name that works beautifully in English might be unavailable, descriptive, confusing, or accidentally hilarious somewhere else.Fourth, choose the right filing route. Direct country filings and Madrid-based filings both have advantages. The right choice depends on budget, timing, geography, risk tolerance, and the company's growth plans.The article also highlights practical business hazards. Foreign copycats may file first. Manufacturers or distributors may try to claim local rights. Translation issues can create unexpected problems. Madrid filings may still face refusals. Maintenance deadlines can be missed.The overall message is not that every company should immediately file in every country. That would be expensive, unnecessary, and a great way to make your legal budget do cardio. International trademark protection should match the business strategy.For founders and small business owners, the best first move is to prioritize. Focus on countries tied to revenue, manufacturing, distribution, franchising, licensing, investor expectations, or realistic expansion. Then decide whether direct filings, Madrid filings, or a mix of both makes sense.Your U.S. trademark is a strong start. But if your brand is crossing borders, your trademark strategy should cross borders too. Give the brand a passport before it gets stopped at customs by a competitor with better paperwork.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

In this episode-style breakdown, we unpack the trademark opposition period: the short window after a trademark application is published when another party can object before registration. It sounds like a tiny procedural detail. It is not. For founders, small business owners, creators, agencies, product companies, and growing brands, this window can affect launch timing, registration strategy, investor confidence, and whether your shiny new brand name survives contact with reality.In the United States, the trademark opposition period is generally 30 days after publication in the USPTO Trademark Official Gazette. That means a trademark being approved for publication is not the same as being registered. It means the examining attorney has cleared the application for public notice, and now third parties get a chance to speak up if they believe registration would damage them.We explain why that matters in normal business language, not “someone fell asleep in a law library” language. The most common reason for opposition is likelihood of confusion. Another business may claim that your mark is too similar to theirs because of the name, logo, sound, meaning, products, services, customers, or sales channels. The two marks do not have to be identical. Trademark law is perfectly capable of side-eyeing creative spelling.We also cover what opposition can do to a business. It can delay registration, trigger legal expenses, force negotiation, complicate fundraising, disrupt packaging decisions, or push a company toward rebranding. That does not mean every opposition is catastrophic. Some disputes settle. Some parties narrow goods and services. Some brands reach coexistence agreements. But ignoring the risk is a great way to turn a 30-day window into a 300-day headache.This discussion is especially useful if you are preparing to file a trademark, waiting for publication, monitoring competitors, expanding into new product lines, or building a brand you hope to license, franchise, sell, or scale. A trademark is not just a decorative business accessory. It is a piece of commercial infrastructure. Treating it casually is like building your checkout system on a napkin and optimism.You will learn why clearance searches matter before filing, why publication is not the finish line, why existing brand owners should monitor new applications, and why international timelines can differ. Canada generally has a two-month opposition period after advertisement. The European Union generally has a three-month opposition period after publication. Translation: global brand strategy needs more than one deadline and a prayer.We also talk about the practical side. What should you do before filing? Search broadly. Look for similar names, spellings, meanings, logos, goods, services, app names, marketplace listings, domains, and social handles. What should you do after publication? Track the date, monitor for extensions or oppositions, and respond quickly if a challenge appears. What should existing trademark owners do? Watch new applications that could create confusion before they become registered rights.The big takeaway: the trademark opposition period may be short, but it is not small. It is a final checkpoint before registration, and it deserves real attention from anyone serious about protecting brand value.By the end, you will have a clearer sense of when to celebrate, when to slow down, and when to call in help before a brand problem becomes a business problem. Because nothing says “startup adventure” quite like discovering your new product name has a legal speed bump right after the marketing team ordered hoodies. Watch the clock.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

Paul Anthony Wallis returns to Unity Manifest Podcast for a deep conversation on ancient contact, biblical translation, disclosure, mythology, and the hidden memory inside humanity's oldest stories.What if the “God stories” were not just myths, doctrines, or symbols — but cultural memories of contact with advanced beings? Paul explores how stories from the Bible, the Vedas, Mesopotamia, the Popol Vuh, Indigenous traditions, African creation stories, and other ancient sources may point toward a larger pattern of visitation, intervention, and human development.Gary and Paul discuss Ezekiel's vision as possible technology, wormholes, UAP disclosure, ancient genetic manipulation, the Watchers, telepathy, hybridization, the Akashic field, and why humanity may be far more connected to the cosmos than we were taught.This episode asks a powerful question:Did humanity invent the God stories — or did the God stories remember contact?Guest: Paul Anthony WallisPodcast: Unity Manifest PodcastHost: Gary CocciolilloUnity Manifest Podcast explores hidden patterns, consciousness, and reality.AppleSpotify

I met the graphic artist, Victoria Lomasko, about 10 years ago when she was a resident at the City of Asylum in Pittsburgh. I emceed an event with her back then. So I was happy when Victoria recently returned to the city to give a few talks at the University of Pittsburgh. Of course, the Eurasian Knot dragged her into a studio for an interview. A lot has changed for Victoria over the decade. Her graphic novel, Other Russias, represented the marginals of Russian society, and she won a Pushkin prize for the work. She got invited to speak, to show her art, and teach. She then went to Belarus to chronicle the mass protests. More art. More shows. But then Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. The invites dried up as everything Russia became toxic. And political art forced her into exile in Germany. These experiences have caused her to question the efficacy of political art, and even her graphic style. Today, she's embraced symbolic art that speaks to her political disillusion and difficulty in representing our current conjecture. Where does Lomasko stand today when it comes to art and politics? Tune in and find out. GuestVictoria Lomasko is a graphic artist and has lectured and written widely on graphic reportage. She lived in Moscow until March 2022 and now lives in exile. She is the author of Other Russias which received the Pushkin House Best Book in Translation award. Her latest book is The Last Soviet Artist published by N+1 Books Hosted on Acast.

Many mysteries accompany the revelations that Powers of Darkness, the Icelandic and Swedish versions of Dracula, are not direct translations of Bram Stoker's original, but stories that significantly differ in character names, plot and runtime. Like: did Bram Stoker write it himself, to publish some raunchy content that British censors would forbid? Was Powers of Darkness based on his early drafts? And did he really not copyright Dracula in the USA was that a deliberate ruse? Welllll... brace yourself for ole thrill-destroyer Zaltzman to pop your balloons of excitement. Searching for the truth among all the rumours and texts are producer Iris Ishichita of the Powers of Darkness podcast, and Will Trimble and Hans Corneel de Roos, who orchestrated English translations of respectively the Swedish and Icelandic Powers of Darknesses. This is the third episode of the Draculae miniseries. Before listening to it, check out the first and second episodes explaining the three versions of Dracula and why we are talking about them.
