Podcasts about Twain

In the late 1850s, a young man named Samuel Clemens started out piloting steamboats on the Mississippi River. Within a few years, he embarked on a writing career, adopting the pen name that became famous: Mark Twain. Armed with a wry sense of humor and a natural flair for storytelling, Twain gained wide acclaim for his short stories, travel sketches, and novels.In 1885, he published The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a story of two runaways on a quest for freedom. It would become one of the most celebrated, and controversial, books in American literature. But at the height of his popularity, his risky business ventures and his critiques of American policy abroad threatened to ruin his legacy.

We're surveying a selection of Bugs Bunny cartoons, all with a medieval theme, some of which are explicitly Arthurian.   The earliest, "Knights Must Fall", is a pretty generic burlesque of Bugs Bunny versus a powerful knight, but draws some inspiration from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, especially in Bugs's use of locomotives and whatnot.   "Knight Mare Hare" is a pretty unfocused take on Connecticut Yankee, complete with framing device, and while it's not a particularly tight cartoon, it has some classic Chuck Jones abstract backgrounds, and some pretty good gags.   "Knighty Knight Bugs" is a much more tightly-constructed story, with Bugs being sent by King Arthur to recover the Singing Sword, only to encounter Yosemite Sam as the Black Knight. This won the Academy Award for best animated short, and it's not hard to understand why.   "Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court" is an oddity--a 20-minute retelling of Connecticut Yankee made in 1978, it's sometimes surprisingly faithful to Twain's novel--like Bugs setting up factories like Hank Morgan--while at other times making extremely strange choices, like having Daffy Duck as King Arthur.   Voices by Mel Blanc. "Knights Must Fall" and "Knighty Knight Bugs" directed by Fritz Freleng, "Knight Mare Hare" and "King Arthur's Court" directed by Chuck Jones.   To hear the entire episode, join the Mary Versus the Movies patreon for $3/month to hear this and the entire series Hollywood Avalon: https://www.patreon.com/maryvsmovies.

    Did you ever think the universe was trying to tell you something? I just finished reading Anderson Cooper's book on the Vanderbilt family. In it, he describes family patriarch Commodore Vanderbilt's interest in Spiritualism and clairvoyance. Cooper writes “Evidence suggests that the Commodore had begun attending seances as early as 1864, but given the mainstreaming of Spiritualist practices in the 1860s and ‘70s, this was not as unusual as it may sound. The period immediately after the Civil War had seen a dramatic rise in the Spiritualism movement and other alternative modes of healing and perception, driven largely by the staggering loss of life experienced during the Civil War.”  We explored heiress Theodate Pope Riddle's obsession with Spiritualism in Grating the Nutmeg episode #109 but what did Hartford's most famous resident of the Gilded Age, Mark Twain, think about it? And what about the ghosts seen in the Twain House? Whether you  believe in the afterlife, don't believe in it at all, or just want to come to your own conclusions, this is an episode for you!   Guests today are Mallory Howard, Assistant Curator at The Mark Twain House & Museum and Dr. Jason Scappaticci, historian and Associate Dean of Student Affairs at Connecticut State Community College Capital in Hartford.   And if you need more ghostly insight after listening to this episode, the Mark Twain House is sponsoring a book talk on Dec. 14, 2023 at 7:30pm with television's Ghost Hunters Adam Berry and Steve Gonsalves in conversation discussing their debut books.

Grandpa Bill talks Paul Harvey: The Rest of the Story Introduction Good evening, my friends. It's Paul Harvey. On this day, as we gather around our radios, I want to tell you a story. It's a story that has been told and retold over the years, but it's a story that still has the power to amaze and inspire. It's the story of a man named Jim Lovell, an astronaut who was part of the Apollo 13 mission. In 1970, Lovell and his crew were on their way to the moon when their spacecraft suffered a catastrophic failure. The oxygen levels in the cabin were dropping rapidly, and the crew was facing the very real possibility of death. The Rest of the Story But Lovell and his crew were not about to give up. They worked together to find a way to survive. They turned their crippled spacecraft into a makeshift lifeboat, and they used their ingenuity to ration their supplies. After five days of drifting in space, Lovell and his crew finally splash landed safely in the Pacific Ocean. They had been through a harrowing ordeal, but they had emerged from it stronger and more determined than ever. Lovell's story is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. It's a reminder that the human spirit is capable of overcoming great adversity. And now you know, the rest of the story. Conclusion Thank you for listening. This is Paul Harvey, reporting from the newsroom of the soul. Grandpa Bill, I admire your aspiration to be a storyteller and humorist. It's a noble pursuit that can bring joy and laughter to others. Will Rogers and Mark Twain were two of the greatest storytellers and humorists of all time. They were both masters of the art of using humor to make people think about important issues. Rogers was known for his sharp wit and his ability to poke fun at himself and others. Twain was a master of satire and irony, and he used his humor to expose the hypocrisy and injustice of his time. Maine has also produced a number of great humorists, including Artemus Ward, Seba Smith, and John Kendrick Bangs. Ward was a master of the tall tale, and his stories often featured exaggerated characters and improbable events. Smith was the creator of the character Jack Downing, a rustic philosopher who offered humorous observations on current events. Bangs was a writer and editor who was known for his witty and satirical essays. Here are a few suggestions for best hashtags: #storytelling #humor #WillRogers #MarkTwain #MaineHumorists Artemus Ward Ward's connection to Maine is still celebrated today. There is a museum dedicated to him in Waterford, and his work is still studied and enjoyed by people all over the world. Here are some of Ward's most famous quotes: "I am not a humourist. I am a moral reformer. It is my mission to spread the truth and to expose the evils of society." "I am not a politician. I am a man of the people. I speak for the common man." "I am not a genius. I am simply a man who is willing to work hard and to tell the truth." Seba Smith Here are some of Smith's most famous quotes: "I'm a plain, straight-forward man, and I always speak my mind." "I'm not much for book-larnin', but I know a thing or two about common sense." "I'm not afraid of hard work, and I'm always up for a good time." John Kendrick Bangs Here are some of Bangs's most famous quotes: "I am a humorist, and as such I am a moralist. It is my mission to make people laugh, but also to make them think." "I am a satirist, and as such I am a critic. It is my mission to expose the follies of the human race." "I am an ironist, and as such I am a doubter. It is my mission to question everything, even the things that I believe in." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bhsales/message

Episode: 1064 Words: not always a helpful reduction of language.  Today, a concern about words.

With John Yoo, who accuses Lucretia and Steve of being closet monarchists, back from his jungle adventures in South America (albeit without any archeological relics to satify his Indiana Jones fantasies) and sitting in the host chair this week, the gang offers its two cents on the latest GOP debate (someone—guess who?—is not impressed with Nikki Haley), and the disappointing election results, which, Steve suggests, is like Twain's remark on Wagner's music ("it's better than it sounds"), though with the key takeaway that the GOP is doomed to more election night disappointments as long as it has a deer-in-the-headlines problem when it comes to abortion.After reviewing a few new legal developments in the largehr Trump saga, we get down to exploring the mounting crisis of anti-Semitism, with an analysis of why this current eruption of anti-Semitism we're seeing nwo is not your grandfather's anti-Semitism, but is in fact ax expression of a much deeper problem with the maliganancy of the progressive left. College administrators who think they can weather the storm and wait for the fury to abate on its own are deluded.We're going to retur next week with a sequel, and explain to everyone why a wholesale purge of leftist institutions is not a violation of free speech rightly understood, or merely "right-wing cancel culture," as the left and too many simple-minded libertarians think. Fire away (heh).

When we look through history at incredible accomplishments, they're often credited to men. But where are the women? Usually they were in the background, generating work, ideas and discoveries that provided critical links to success and progress — but their contributions were downplayed, stolen or erased from the history books.We've come so far, we've got so far to go. While many more women are employed in the science and medical fields today, there are still plenty of instances of bias and discrimination when it comes to promotion, pay, credit and leadership roles. You've probably heard personal stories to this effect, and there's data and research on these topics as well. As Dr. Jain says, "It's a slow, slow, slow train moving toward progress."We've got to work together. As cliche as it sounds, women have to support other women and minority gender identities — and need to find male allies. Highlight other women's accomplishments when they're not in the room and speak highly of their work.

“It ain't what you don't know that gets you in trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so” - Mark Twain. Week 4 is the time in the NFL where we begin to realize what we thought we knew that just ain't so. Additionally, we scratch the surface on what the story of the 2023 NFL season truly is. 1:20 - GAME OF THE WEEK: Dolphins at Bills - We kick things off in Buffalo with a big one. The Bills are lookin strong as of late and the Dolphins are fresh off of a 70 point eruption at home. Simply put: Can the Bills slow down this warp speed offense? 25:00 - Commanders at Eagles - Washington had a let down of a showing last week and looks to bounce back against an NFC East rival. The matchup in the trenches between Washington's defensive line & Philly's O line is gonna be a war! 57:37 - Pats at Cowboys - After an abysmal showing last week in Arizona, the Cowboys look to rebound against the Patriots. While 1-2, Belichick's defense has been strong this year. And we know Zeke is thirsty for a plate of revenge. Does Dak show out at home or do Dem Boyz drop another one?

Falsche Zitate gibt es wohl, seit es Prominente gibt – aber mit dem Internet ist geradezu eine Epidemie falscher Zuschreibungen ausgebrochen. Gerald Krieghofer, Philosoph und Literaturwissenschaftler, stemmt sich gegen diese Flut und stellt allerlei Sinnsprüche auf die Probe. In seinem gerade erschienenen Buch „Die besten falschesten Zitate der Welt“ räumt er mit „Mailand oder Madrid – Hauptsache Italien!“ genauso auf wie mit „Das Auto ist eine vorübergehende Erscheinung – ich glaube an das Pferd“. Mit Georg Renner spricht Gerald Krieghofer darüber, wie man falsche Zitate erkennt, seine Lieblingsrecherchen und über die ewige Versuchung, sich lieber Einstein oder Twain eigen zu machen als einfach zu sagen: Der Spruch ist von mir.Links:Das Buch: https://www.styriabooks.at/die-besten-falschesten-zitate-aller-zeitenGerald Krieghofer auf Twitter: https://twitter.com/krieghofer

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. Episodes are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. These are arrangements, which means instead of word-for-word readings, you get a performance meant to be heard. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes (unless it's really bad)For Season 6 is again ad-free. I do this because I love mysteries, Jack does it because he loves me. Jack maybe a starving college student but it's because… We do ask you support the writers of our show. This week it's Kyra Jacobs. Check her out on her website and social, buy and read her stories, help other readers find her. Make writing for Mysteries to Die For the best decision she could have made. In your review, tell her Tina and Jack said ‘the cat did it'. This is Season 6, Things that Go Jack in the Night. This season contains truly imaginative mysteries around one of the most common words in the English language. From the brandy distilled from hard cider known as applejack to that nefarious one-eyed jack, to the animals, vegetables, fruits, tools, weapons, and slang, the way the word “jack” is used in the English language is truly unique, inventive, and too numerous for me to count. And yes, it is also the name of my piano player and producer. For Episode 6, a jackass is the featured jack. This is When in Doubt, Blame the Jackass by Kyra About JackassesLet's go to Wikipedia…The domestic donkey is a hoofed mammal the same family as the horse. It derives from the African wild ass and was domesticated in Africa some 5000–7000 years ago. There are more than 40 million donkeys in the world where they are used principally as draught or pack animals. An adult male donkey is a jack or jackass, an adult female is a jenny or jennet, and an immature donkey of either sex is a foal. Jacks are often mated with female horses (mares) to produce mules; the less common hybrid of a male horse (stallion) and jenny is a hinny. At one time, ass was the more common term for the donkey. The first recorded use of donkey was in the late 1700s. From the 18th century, donkey gradually replaced ass and jenny replaced she-ass, which is now considered archaic. The change may have come about through a tendency to avoid pejorative terms in speech and may be comparable to the substitution in North American English of rooster for cock, or that of rabbit for coney, which when spelled differently but pronounced the same, is slang for a special part of a woman's body.Donkeys vary considerably in size, depending on breed and environmental, with heights at the withers range from less than 35 in to approximately 59 in.  Working donkeys in the poorest countries have a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years; in more prosperous countries, they may have a lifespan of 30 to 50 years. But how did this hard working animal become synonymous with human idiocy? According to The Conversation.com, by the 1820s, jackass was commonly being used to describe a “stupid person.”This was the intent of a retort in the 1820s by Kentucky congressman Henry Clay to Massachusetts Congressman Daniel Webster. Clay was sitting outside a Washington, D.C. hotel with Webster when a man walked by with a pack of mules. “Clay, there goes a number of your Kentucky constituents,” Webster said.“Yes,” Clay replied, “they must be on their way to Massachusetts to teach school.”Mark Twain defended the jackass. He thought comparing men and politicians, in particular, to jackasses was unfair to jackasses. “Concerning the difference between man and the jackass: some observers hold that there isn't any,” he said. “But this wrongs the jackass.” In his 1894 novel “Pudd'n'head Wilson,” Twain...

The great Mark Twain once wrote, “Buy land, they aren't making it anymore,” but Mr. Twain was wrong! The Mississippi River and the state of Louisiana are working together to build tens of thousands of acres on the Louisiana coast. Louisiana's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority's Chairman is Bren Haase. Chairman Haase is a passionate hunter and angler from Sportsman's Paradise, and he joined us to talk about Louisiana's coastal land loss crisis and how the state is battling that crisis for both people and wildlife.

L'œuvre du créateur de Tom Sawyer et de Huckleberry Finn dépasse de beaucoup la littérature pour enfants et l'évocation de l'Amérique des pionniers.

TWAIN: CANCELLED, 89min., USA Directed by Jon Silver An aspiring stand-up comic struggles with stage fright, a demeaning bartender job, and caring for her rebellious nephew; until she is mysteriously visited by a trouble-making Mark Twain. https://kernelproductions.com/ Talk with director Jon Silver and writer/producer Grant Troyer Get to know writer/producer Grant Troyer: I wrote the first draft over in either summer of 2020 or 2021 (time is meaningless at this point) and then sat on it until March of 2022 (I am just the writer and lowly EP). The real credit goes to our director and producer Jon and Jake who, at that time, helped me give Twain mouth to mouth (the script not the man). Production was completed in July, and post the following January. Very grateful for the efficient and talented team who knows eons more than I do.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 27, 2023 is: myriad • MEER-ee-ud • noun The noun myriad is usually followed by of and means “a great number,” as in “a myriad of possibilities.” It is also common as an adjective meaning “very many” or “both numerous and diverse,” as in “myriad topics were discussed at the convention.” // The middle school class generated a myriad of ideas for ways they could volunteer in the community. See the entry > Examples: “With a film career spanning more than three decades as an actor, director, writer, and martial artist, Michael Jai White has cemented himself as one of the top action stars and Black martial artists in the genre today. Studying martial arts since a young age, White learned a myriad of styles over the years … with eight black belts to his name and earning the title of ‘The Mantle of the Black Dragon' in 2019 at the Urban Action Film Showcase from the Black Dragon himself, Ron van Clief.” — Frankie “Balboa” Diaz, Polygon.com, 15 June 2023 Did you know? You don't need ten thousand justifications to use myriad as a noun, only one: with more than 400 years of usage history behind it, the noun myriad, as in the phrase “a myriad of,” is a well-established and respectable member of the English language. Still, we understand that “myriad of” raises the hackles of myriad folks who were taught at one point or another that myriad is only to be used as an adjective, and that phrases like “a myriad of emailers vexed about myriad” should be shunned in favor of “myriad emailers vexed about myriad.” Now, to each their own lexical peeves and pleasures, but let it be known that myriad entered the English language in the mid-1500s as a noun, and since its introduction has been used in the senses of “ten thousand,” “a set of ten thousand,” “an immense or indefinitely large number,” and “a great multitude”; furthermore, it has appeared in the works of such writers as Milton, Thoreau, Twain, and DuBois—no slouches when it comes to wielding words. Myriad the adjective is about 200 years younger, but both continue to enjoy wide use today.

Aldo Setaioli"Parla Mark Twain"Interviste scelte al creatore di Tom Sawyer e Huckleberry FinnLorenzo De' Medici Presshttps://lorenzodemedicipress.itPer la prima volta tradotte in Italia le affascinanti interviste che Mark Twain rilasciò durante gli ultimi quindici anni di vita. Dialoghi fondamentali che documentano soprattutto l'atteggiamento dell'autore verso i due volumi che da quasi un secolo e mezzo hanno dilettato, più di ogni altro, generazioni di ragazzi e di ragazzi diventati adulti: Le avventure di Tom Sawyer e Le avventure di Huckleberry Finn. Questi documenti, dal tono ironico e volutamente iperbolico, sono preziosi per mettere in luce la personalità dell'autore. In gran parte riportano risposte a domande che gli vennero poste, ma di frequente le parole che l'intervistatore attribuisce a Mark Twain sono inserite nel contesto della descrizione della cornice in cui si colloca l'incontro tra i due e presentano un inestimabile spaccato dell'epoca in cui vissero e agirono tanto l'autore quanto i suoi lettori. Fra le tredici interviste spicca quella che vede Twain dialogare con Rudyard Kipling in un confronto tra giganti della letteratura che è anche un gustoso racconto di avventura.Samuel Langhorne Clemens, meglio noto con lo pseudonimo letterario di Mark Twain (1876-1884), è da tutti conosciuto e amato soprattutto per Le avventure di Tom Sawyer (1876) e Le avventure di Huckleberry Finn (1884), due classici ormai entrati a far parte dell'immaginario collettivo. Ma Twain fu anche autore di fenomenali racconti umoristici e satirici, saggista, educatore e spietato critico della società statunitense dell'epoca. Secondo William Faulkner, Twain fu “il primo autentico scrittore americano”.Aldo Setaioli è professore emerito di Lingua e Letteratura Latina dell'Università di Perugia. È autore di numerose pubblicazioni sulla letteratura latina con uno sguardo attento alle sue radici greche. In particolare ha studiato Seneca, Virgilio e i suoi commentatori, Orazio, Petronio e Plutarco. Ha anche approfondito le credenze sull'aldilà nel mondo greco e romano fino alla tarda antichità.

From William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation through The Federalist Papers, Thoreau's Walden, and works by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain, and W.E.B. Du Bois, Parini explores how key works of fiction and nonfiction have shaped the American mind and character and guided our understanding of ourselves as a people and a nation. He closes the interview with a reading from Promised Land: Thirteen Books That Changed America.

We're back with our second creepy story. This one is a favorite of ours by author Mark Twain. This story is part of a collection of short stories in a book called “Sketches New and Old” published in 1875. A Ghost Story starts as a very spooky tale and in true Twain fashion it ends with a humorous twist.  We hope you will enjoy his satire as much as we do.  

On this week's Ball & Chain, Rebecca and Steve discuss getting stuck in elevators and WNBA All-Star Weekend. Rebecca recaps her trip to Las Vegas for WNBA All-Star Weekend. While Steve wonders whether Shohei Ohtani is the greatest baseball player of all-time. All that plus Viewer Mail on the 253rd edition of the Ball & Chain Podcast.

Seek companionship among men of superior intellect and character. Refine yourself and your work. Never affiliate with inferiors; always climb.”It was an admonishment Twain would take to heart and follow, virtually to the letter, for the next forty-four years.(53:00) When you have something that you know is true, even over the long term, you can afford to put a lot of energy into it. — Jeff Bezos(57:30) Mark Twain produced a remarkable stream of novels, short stories, essays, and travel pieces that today stands as one of the great bodies of work in English literature.----Join Founders AMAMembers of Founders AMA can:-Email me your questions directly (you get a private email address in the confirmation email) -Promote your company to other members by including a link to your website with you question -Unlock 29 Ask Me Anything (AMA) episodes immediately-Listen to new Ask Me Anything (AMA) episodes every week ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

Gunsmoke is an American radio and television Western drama series created by director Norman Macdonnell and writer John Meston. The stories take place in and around Dodge City, Kansas, during the settlement of the American West. The central character is lawman Marshal Matt Dillon, played by William Conrad on radio and James Arness on television. When aired in the United Kingdom, the television series was initially titled Gun Law, later reverting to Gunsmoke. The radio series ran from 1952 to 1961. John Dunning wrote that among radio drama enthusiasts, "Gunsmoke is routinely placed among the best shows of any kind and any time." The television series ran for 20 seasons from 1955 to 1975 and lasted for 635 episodes. At the end of its run in 1975, Los Angeles Times columnist Cecil Smith wrote: "Gunsmoke was the dramatization of the American epic legend of the west. Our own Iliad and Odyssey, created from standard elements of the dime novel and the pulp Western as romanticized by Buntline, Harte, and Twain. It was ever the stuff of legend." Radio series (1952–1961) In the late 1940s, CBS chairman William S. Paley, a fan of the Philip Marlowe radio series, asked his programming chief, Hubell Robinson, to develop a hard-boiled Western series, a show about a "Philip Marlowe of the Old West". Robinson instructed his West Coast CBS Vice President, Harry Ackerman, who had developed the Philip Marlowe series, to take on the task. Ackerman and his scriptwriters, Mort Fine and David Friedkin, created an audition script called "Mark Dillon Goes to Gouge Eye'' based on one of their Michael Shayne radio scripts, "The Case of the Crooked Wheel'' from the summer of 1948. Two versions were recorded. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dwight-allen0/support
