Podcasts about two acts

This is the full podcast of Midas, A Folly in Two Acts & an Epilogue, which was previously dropped as discrete episodes but is available now in its shimmering entirety! Everyone thinks they know the story of Midas and the Golden Touch, some even know the concomitant story of Midas and the Donkey Ears, but there is even more to know about this foollish king of Phrygia than those two stories.Why did Midas get the Golden Touch in the first place? What did that have to do with Dionysus the god and the satyr Silenus? And will Dan ever get paid?Why did Midas get the Donkey Ears? How was this, too, an instance of his foolishness? Was he a racist?How did Midas die in the end? Was he really punished through eternity in Tartarus for his sins?There is a reason this story is a classic as the material herein has multiple parallels to events and persons throughout history not to mention the present day. Enjoy, and thank you for tuning in.

Tara tackles two shocking stories that highlight a disturbing trend in modern America: the normalization—and even celebration—of behavior once unthinkable. First, she exposes a USA Today report that attempts to excuse domestic abuse by blaming ICE trauma, unleashing a fiery critique of media bias, political enablement, and the erosion of accountability. Then, in a bizarre turn, Tara covers the viral case of the "Delco Pooper," a woman who defecated on another's car in a fit of road rage. With biting humor and raw honesty, Tara explores how we got here—and what it says about our national state of mind.

This verse highlights the breaking of barriers between Jews and Gentiles, signifying the universal nature of God's salvation.Verse 34: Peter declares that God shows no partiality, accepting anyone who fears Him and does what is right, regardless of nationality.Peter's Message:Verses 36-43: Peter preaches about Jesus Christ, emphasizing His life, miracles, death, and resurrection.Verse 36: Peace comes through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.Verse 40: God raised Jesus on the third day, witnessed by chosen apostles.Verse 43: Everyone who believes in Jesus receives forgiveness of sins through His name.The Holy Spirit's Confirmation:Verses 44-46: While Peter is still speaking, the Holy Spirit falls on all who hear the message, and they begin speaking in tongues, astonishing the Jewish believers with Peter. This event mirrors Pentecost, confirming that Gentiles are also recipients of the Holy Spirit and God's salvation.Baptism and Inclusion:Verses 47-48: Peter commands that the new believers be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, cementing their inclusion in the faith community. The sequence shows that belief and receiving the Holy Spirit precede baptism, emphasizing faith as the key to salvation.Applications and Observations:Universal Salvation: God's message of salvation is inclusive, breaking down ethnic and cultural barriers.Role of Human Messengers: God uses human instruments like Peter to spread the messageFaith Meets Academia Transform faith-based values into personal growth, career success and academic excellence.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Send us a textIn Episode 06 of Earl Grae Cafe, Earl (she/they) dives into Chapter 5 of Toni Morrison's The Origin of Others to explore the inspiration behind Morrison's Beloved: the true story of Margaret Garner, an enslaved mother who faced trial for infanticide during the Fugitive Slave Law era. In this 25-minute episode, Earl examines Morrison's reflection on the challenge of telling stories about those whose lives and voices are often erased—a powerful theme that echoes Saidiya Hartman's work in Venus in Two Acts.This episode offers a thoughtful look at storytelling, identity, and the unspoken lives of “Others.” New listeners can jump right in, while regulars can appreciate the building depth of each chapter. Be sure to check out previous episodes (1-5) for more of Earl's readings and reflections on Morrison's brilliant insights.Don't forget to like and subscribe to the PAGES Pod channel wherever you get your podcasts to stay tuned for more from Earl Grae Cafe!Past Episodes of Earl Grae Cafe:Episode 01: Earl Grae Cafe- The Origin of Others (Foreword)Episode 02: Earl Grae Cafe- The Origin of Others (Chapter 1)Episode 03: Earl Grae Cafe- The Origin of Others (Chapter 2)Episode 04: Earl Grae Cafe- The Origin of Others (Chapter 3)Episode 05: Earl Grae Cafe- The Origin of Others (Chapter 4)Other Pages Pod Episodes you might like:PAGES Pod Volume XXII: Afropessimism, Care, and [Fractured Kinship]PAGES Pod Volume XV: Body PoliticsPAGES Pod Volume XII: AfropessimismVisit the PAGES TRG Online Library - Here

This month we are delighted to be joined by Mario Blaser. Mario is a cultural anthropologist and an Associate Professor of Geography and Archaeology at the Memorial University of Newfoundland. Mario has engaged in ethnographic work with communities in many different parts of the world, including in Paraguay and Canada. His fascination with how people lived in other places is rooted in his early experiences living in a small town in Southern Argentina and interacting with visitors passing through. Mario gives us insight into what ethnography is in practice and how it extends beyond just conducting interviews in place. Mario introduces us to the idea of “deep hanging out” and shares how this approach helps the researcher to create a more nuanced and subtle understanding of relations in place. Mario uses this base to unpack for us his insights into the pluriversal world and ways of worlding or how the world is made through practices. In short, the world is not something that is already there, but it produced and reproduced through human and non-human relations in place. This just scratches the surface of this rich conversation. His latest book is For Emplacement: Political Ontology in Two Acts , and its Spanish language twin (is not exactly the same but shares the same “genetic make up”) Incomún: Un ensayo de ontología política para el fin del mundo (único), which is available for free download.   Want to learn more about the duck-rabbit illusion? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit%E2%80%93duck_illusion  Want to learn more about Mario's work? https://www.mun.ca/archaeology/people/faculty/mario-blaser/

The resurrection holds a profound significance for each of us, and it is an event that brings hope and transformation to our lives. In this final part of our Two Acts of God series, we explore ten incredible reasons to be excited about Jesus rising from the dead. We'll discover that the resurrection means our faith is not in vain and that we can rest assured that our salvation is permanent. We'll also see how the resurrection (not just the cross!) is the source of a good conscience. Check out this message to deepen your understanding of Christ's resurrection and celebrate the very core of our Christian faith! Discussion Questions: 1. In your own words, what does the resurrection mean to you? 2. Why is our faith worthless if Christ has not been raised? (see 1 Corinthians 15:17) 3. React to this statement: I will be saved as long as Jesus lives. (see Hebrews 7:25) 4. React to this statement: I have an imparted-life righteousness. (see Galatians 3:21) 5. Why do you think Peter mentions the resurrection (not the cross) as the source of a good conscience? (see 1 Peter 3:21) 6. Of all the benefits of the resurrection, which impacts you the most? Why?

In this first message of our Two Acts of God series, we explore what the cross means to us individually and how it shapes our understanding of our identity in Christ. We'll dive into the liberating truth that through the cross, we are declared holy and blameless, and we have perfect peace with God. Imagine the freedom and joy that comes from knowing that God will never refer to our sins again! We'll also learn why the cross means freedom from the Law, and we'll discuss why the message of being crucified with Christ is often neglected today and how embracing this truth can revolutionize our lives. Prepare to be inspired and encouraged as we probe the depths of God's love and grace through the power of the cross! Discussion Questions: In your own words, what does the cross mean to you?

In this episode of Tech Sales Insights, Randy Seidl is joined by Matt Dixon, the founding partner at DCM Insights, to delve into the captivating world of Challenger sales and explore the profound insights from Matt's latest book, "The Jolt Effect: How High Performers Overcome Customer Indecision." They discuss the evolution of sales strategies, the impact of the pandemic on decision-making, and the crucial moments that define successful sales interactions.KEY TAKEAWAYSChallenger Sales Evolution: Understand the genesis of Challenger sales during the global financial crisis and its continued relevance in transforming sales approaches.The Jolt Effect: Explore the story behind Matt's latest research, which unravels the challenges of customer indecision, particularly after initial interest, and how high performers navigate this critical phase.Sales in the Virtual World: Examine the shift to virtual sales environments, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the unique opportunities and challenges it presents.The Two Acts of Sales: Recognize that sales is a two-act play — first, sparking customer interest and then addressing the indecision that arises after the initial commitment.Overcoming Overloads: Dive into the three major sources of indecision - too many options, information overload, and expectations overload - and learn how top performers navigate these challenges.Decision-Making in a Downturn: Explore how the current business landscape, including economic uncertainties and the aftermath of the SaaS reckoning, contributes to heightened indecision among customers.Startup Challenges: Discuss the difficulties faced by startups in breaking into the market due to a lack of track record, customer references, and airtight ROI guarantees.QUOTES"Sales is really a two-act play. The first act is getting the customer interested, answering the 'why change' question. The second act is dealing with the cold feet moment in the sale, navigating indecision after initial interest.""The best salespeople excel at putting their figurative arm around the customer's shoulders, instilling confidence, and saying, 'You're making a great decision. We've got your back.'""We're doing this to ourselves - offering more options, information overload, and ambitious promises. These amplify customer indecision, making even normally decisive people behave indecisively."Find out more about Matt Dixon through the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewxdixon/This episode of Tech Sales Insights is brought to you by: Sales Community: https://www.salescommunity.com/Sandler: https://www.sandler.com/

Now that we have a basic understanding of the identity and history of the Holy Spirit, what happened on the day of Pentecost there in the upper room? The key to understanding this lies in Genesis 11 and the story of the Tower of Babel. Pentecost was the reversal of Babel.

A person is either "in Adam" or "in Christ". Those in Adam are under the dominion of sin and death. Those in Jesus Christ, through faith, reign in life through the grace and righteousness of Jesus Christ our Lord. Grace ALWAYS trumps condemnation.

How do we look at, and respond to, work by Black contemporary artists? In this episode, we sat down with Tina Campt, Visiting Professor in Art & Archaeology and the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton. We trace the arc of Prof. Campt's career, from her earlier research on family photography in the African diaspora and how one can “listen to images,” all the way to her current writing and recent trip to this year's Venice Biennale. Along the way, we discuss concepts that elucidate the aesthetic, political, and experiential dynamics of work by artists like Jennifer Packer, Cameron Rowland, Stan Douglas, and Simone Leigh.

In this episode we sit down with Everyday Environmentalism's own Maddy Aubey! Maddy is a PhD archaeology student at UCLA who tells us about her undergraduate thesis: “Visions Underfoot: Seneca Village and the Poetics of Remembrance.” It's an interdisciplinary project that combines archaeology, history, and poetry. Maddy used physical objects found by archaeologists at the Seneca Village dig site as a way to creatively ponder the interior lives of the individuals who called it home. This is Part II of our series of episodes on Seneca Village. If you want a more traditional history about the facts and origins of Seneca Village, listen to our previous episode with Dr. Nan Rothschild if you have not already. Here are the resources we discuss in this episode: “Seneca Village Unearthed,” The NYC Archaeology Repository: https://archaeology.cityofnewyork.us/collection/digital-exhibitions/seneca-village-unearthed “Venus in Two Acts,” Saidiya Hartman (on critical fabulation) My Seneca Village, Marilyn Nelson Black Feminist Archaeology, Whitney Battle-Batiste *** Everyday Environmentalism is a podcast that tells past and present stories about "urban nature" in New York City. We interview current activists in tandem with environmental historians to produce a long history of the ways ordinary New Yorkers have experienced the urban outdoors and created more sustainable relationships with their environment. This podcast is hosted by Amanda Martin-Hardin, Maddy Aubey, and Prem Thakker.

Everyone faces some kind of challenge in the process of becoming a parent. Today's guest took an unanticipated tour of possible approaches to labor and delivery. Once contractions were confirmed she arrived at the hospital to find her midwife busy with another birthing mother. So in the first half of her birth she was attended to by an OB, and the second half was overseen by a midwife, with very different approaches to labor. And because she was a single parent, she braved postpartum without a partner, which turned out to be a real challenge when colic arrived.For shownotes, see: https://warstoriesfromthewomb.com/

Rabbi Ken teaches us about Phinehas; a man who stood against sexual immorality. He also speaks of the daughters of Zelophehad who were bold enough to stand before Moses and ask for their inheritance.

Che spoke to Canadian playwright, screenwriter, and cultural commentator Brad Fraser. He has just released his first memoir, All the Rage: A Partial Memoir in Two Acts and a Prologue. He had resisted writing a memoir for a long time. Still, he seemed to be doing the work of compiling a memoir organically as he told the story of friends lost to the AIDS crisis of the early nineteen nineties on world Aid's Day in social media every year. He had files and files of pictures and stories of a generation of forgotten people and the friends that looked after each other. Brad also shared his early love for reading and how writing became a refuge from his life of rejection, poverty and abuse. He spoke of his experience of boredom and the benefit monotony offers our imagination. Brad discusses his early life and his internal knowledge about the value of caring for himself even if amid abuse; he knew that he needed to offer himself compassion and self-care; he knew that his survival depended on it. Brad discusses his inner knowing that he did not have to stay in the life he was born into was not the life he had to live. He started to write a young age and wrote his first play at 17; the theatre and the gay community became a safe and inspiring haven for him, and writing became a formidable outlet for his anger. He discusses the power of anger and the desire to use it constructively to let it out but not hurt yourself or other people. For Brad, anger became a muse of sorts for seeing and writing what was there but could not be said, and the theatre became a place to cultivate that ability to see and share what was unspoken in our society. The theatre never rejected him; instead, it was a place of education and freedom, he was able to be himself. His anger has become fuel for sharing the invisible stories, always exploring vulnerability, sexuality, morality and inequities in their many forms. He has always been someone who can be alone for long stretches, so the pandemic had not changed that; however, before the pandemic, he developed a relationship with a neighbour by the name of Shirley. And as their friendship developed over five years, so her decline due to Alzheimer's, they became more bonded, and he committed to caring for her in this time in her life. He never imagined this type of connection and yet is essential to his life now. This relationship has fueled his belief that the cure for loneliness and depression is giving a part of yourself away through caring so that someone else can have comfort. Please take a listen to one of the most compelling playwrights of our time. Please share the show, tell us what you think, and check out Brads's new book All the Rage: A Partial Memoir in Two Acts and a Prologue., which comes out on May 2021.
