Podcasts about Valerian

She lived in virginity in Rome during the reign of Valerian (253-260) — as the Prologue says, 'expelling the stench of the passions from her heart with the sweet-smelling perfume of purity and chastity.' She voluntarily presented herself to the pagans and announced herself to be a Christian, for which she was tortured to death. Her friends Vassa, Paula and Agathonica took her relics to Sicily for burial. A church was built there in her name, and many miracles were worked there.

Friedrich and Valerian struggle to relate to and not chew on, respectively, their new friend. Bingo tells his tale. And we arrive at a port in a sea with no water at all.

Friedrich and Valerian face the world... ALONE. TOGETHER. They meet with a clone, a cartographer, and... a new friend?

Vor zwei Jahren hat SRF einen jungen Euphonium-Spieler an den «Eurovision Young Musicians» geschickt. Eine fordernde Zeit, an die Valerian Alfaré mit guten Gefühlen zurückdenkt, am Wochenende des diesjährigen Talentwettbewerbs. Besonders schön ist für Valerian Alfaré, dass er am Wettbewerb für klassische Newcomer seinen aktuellen Duopartner kennengelernt hat. Mit dem Marimba-Spieler Valentin Frutiger hat er das Duo Equinox gegründet. Jazz und Klassik sind für die beiden gleichermassen im Fokus. Diese Haltung spiegelt sich auch in der aktuellen Ausbildung von Valerian Alfaré. Er studiert unterdessen an der Hochschule der Künste Bern im Hauptfach Trompete, im Nebenfach Euphonium – seinen Bachelor darf er abgekürzt in einem einzigen Jahr absolvieren. Warum ihm ein gesunder Ausgleich so wichtig ist und was er speziell am Joggen schätzt, erzählt Valerian Alfaré im Musikmagazin TALK. 00:48 – Talk Brütend heiss ist es in Bern. Valerian Alfaré gesteht, dass das nicht so seine Temperatur ist, er erzählt von seinen Pioniergefühlen am Euphonium und verrät, warum er es besonders schön findet, dass er in einer WG mit Frauen lebt, die keine Musikerinnen sind. 20:47 – Wochenrückblick Der Grand Prix Musik geht an die Jodlerin Nadja Räss: die Schweizer Musikpreise geben uns zu reden, der 85.Geburtstag von Pianistin Martha Argerich - und eine ukrainische Oper, die fragt: wie kann man zu Kriegszeiten Oper machen? (Zeitpunkt der Aufnahme: Freitag, 05.06.2026. 12 Uhr) 39.33 – Neu in meiner Playlist Die Genfer Musikerin Flèche Love fasziniert mit ihrer sehr eigenen musikalischen Mischung aus ägyptischer Tradition, Elektro und barockem Gesang. 44.19 – Musikfrage Wie hilft Musikhören bei Demenz? 48.33 – Film-Tipp Wilde Wälder und lichte Liebe: Ein neuer Dokumentarfilm widmet sich dem Leben und Werk des vor 200 Jahren verstorbenen Romantik-Komponisten Carl Maria von Weber.

All the stars are out (and looking a little dimmer than usual) for today's Sinister Selection. The episode begins with a special presentation of the Sinisties, where Jonathan and Dan recount their favorite Sinister Six picks of the year. Then, we journey across time and space to suffer through 2017's Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. United Human Federation dispatches police partners Valerian and Laureline to Alpha, a space-traveling city made up of species from all over the galaxy. Alpha's existence is threatened by an irradiated anomaly spreading from its core. Our heroes are uncertain who to trust, as this crisis exposes a larger conspiracy within the federation. Valerian and Laureline must make their way to Alpha's core to uncover these secrets for themselves, meeting new allies (such as Rhianna) and enemies along the way. We can't promise this adventure will end with a bang (besides it being the biggest bomb in the history of France), nor can we promise that you'll learn anything. But maybe, just maybe, you'll come away knowing the true meaning of love. Or something. We're not sure. This one really got away from us. Either way, remember to pack your pearls and properly program your Cake-Pops for today's inter-dimensional (shopping centre) episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Full Text of Readings Wednesday of the Fifth Week of Easter Lectionary: 287 The Saint of the day is Saints Marian and James Saints Marian and James's Story Saint Marian, an ordained lector, and Saint James, a deacon, were martyred during the persecution of Valerian around the year 259. Few other facts are known about them. It seems that while they were in prison, each had a vision regarding his martyrdom. They drew courage from these apparitions and were able to courageously face death. They were joined in their deaths by other Christians. Reflection The old saying that the more things change the more they stay the same may apply to today's celebration. Two faithful people facing the hardships of life during persecution in the third century may have a lot in common with those facing persecution for their faith today.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Thunder Beneath the Water's Edge moves through late‑winter's deep Yin — the dragon coil, the Worm Moon stirring, and Lilith's refusal to remain unconscious — and grounds it all through the lens of aromatherapy. This episode traces the first subtle movement before emergence: the soil softening, sap rising, worms shifting underground, and the psyche waking from within. It's a moment of instinct, intuition, and inner truth, and the aromatic plants we explore are chosen not for activation, but for holding space for dream‑life, rest, and the slow gathering of healthy yang.You'll hear how archetypes like Lilith, the dragon, and the ouroboros map onto this seasonal threshold, why sleep and dreams matter so profoundly right now, and how forcing outwardness too soon disrupts our ecology. Then we turn to the botanicals that support this moment — Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Vetiver, Valerian, Spikenard, Mugwort, and Sweet Gale — each offering grounding, clarity, or dream‑support in their own way. This is aromatherapy as a companion to emergence: spacious, protective, and attuned to the subconscious.The episode closes with a new poem written during this Worm Moon season — a reflection on pressure building beneath the surface and the quiet truth that stirs inside.Links:Free Online Library: Articles & CoursesEssential Oils for Enhancing Sleep eBook

Description This week we celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of the most legendary video games of all time, The Legend of Zelda, and explore how it changed gaming forever. Grab your wooden sword and let's head north. From dungeon bosses to Dodongo smoke signals, we break down the history, music, trivia, and lasting impact of Nintendo's groundbreaking adventure.   News A new trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu has dropped, teasing familiar characters and confirming a theatrical release on May 22, 2026.   DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney's Animal Kingdom is being reimagined into Tropical Americas, including an Indiana Jones retheme of the Dinosaur ride and an interactive Encanto attraction.   A new Star Wars Galactic Racer game is coming in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, joining the expanding Star Wars gaming universe.   We say farewell to legendary actor Robert Duvall, whose career spanned classics like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now.   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Jay has been diving into Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance on iPad, a tower defense game bursting with cartoon charm and clever pop culture easter eggs. Its lighthearted tone and strategic depth make it easy to pick up but tough to master. Shua has been moved by Sentimental Value, an Academy Award–nominated drama starring Renate Reinsve, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Stellan Skarsgard, and Elle Fanning. This emotional story of estranged family members reconnecting delivers powerful performances and a heartfelt punch.     Sci-Fi Saturdays -  This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay shines a spotlight on Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, directed by Luc Besson. Though considered a box office disappointment, Jay found plenty to love in its ambitious world-building, visual spectacle, and pulpy sci-fi adventure energy. Read his article on RetroZap.com.

Inspired by childhood exploration, fantasy literature, and a desire to let players discover secrets on their own, Zelda dropped players into Hyrule with no hand-holding and no instructions beyond a wooden sword and courage.   We relive dungeon bosses, secret bombable walls, cryptic old men, and the unforgettable music composed by Koji Kondo. From Aquamentus to Ganon, from Second Quest surprises to Silver Arrow victories, we explore why this game still resonates four decades later, and why sometimes the best adventures are the ones where nobody tells you what to do.   Have you played through all of The Legend of Zelda? Let us know! First person that emails me with the subject line, "You have acquired a sword!" will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

In 260 AD, the unthinkable happened.A Roman emperor was captured alive by a foreign enemy.Not killed in battle.Not ransomed.Not executed.Instead, Emperor Valerian was publicly humiliated—forced to kneel while the Persian king used him as a human footstool.This wasn't just a personal tragedy. It was a symbol of something far bigger: the Roman Empire was breaking.This video takes you inside the Third Century Crisis, when Rome was collapsing under:• Hyperinflation caused by currency debasement• Endless wars on every frontier• A devastating plague killing thousands per day• Political chaos and emperors murdered by their own armiesValerian's capture shocked the ancient world and shattered the myth of Roman invincibility.And here's the disturbing part:The patterns that destroyed Rome didn't disappear.They repeat.Watch to understand how Rome reached this moment, what happened to Valerian after his capture, and why this humiliation marked the beginning of the end.History doesn't repeat.But it does rhyme.Subscribe to see the empire fall in real time.

Minacan and Valerian are in a bad spot.  Their mission is blown, they're surrounded by enemies, and the automaton is offline.

We conclude the 12th Season the day after Christmas for a minisode on Luc Besson's SciFi Fantasy Trilogy: The Fifth Element, Lockout & Valerian.   Guests Oreo Brewer & Johnny Potoky bring up how these pre-STAR WARS comics and fantasy elements helped these film adaptations come to life in a post-mega blockbuster movie world.   Is FIFTH ELEMENT the most successful Bruce Willis film outside of his earlier '90s work (and is Korben Dallas his best role given how it allows him more comedic work while spoofing his DIE HARD ego)?   Are these movies perfect examples of paintings that can be reobserved and you find something new from them each time?   Is LOCKOUT still a damn fun time no matter which version you watch or did the Snake Plissken/Han Solo hero feel too derivative?   And should VALERIAN be given a better re-evaluation in this snobby internet world?   Come drive your flying car into space with us as we podcast across the galaxy!     MUSIC INTRO USED: "Redrum" Immediate Music (from The Fifth Element Trailer)    

As our scoundrels have already betrayed all the most dangerous people they've ever met, all that's left now is to deal with the consequences. Pepper is a pervert (again), Valerian gets gets asskicked (again), and Friedrich talks shit to someone he really shouldn't (...again).

She lived in Rome during the reigns of the Emperors Decius and Valerian. At an early age she left all to embrace a life of unceasing prayer, entering a small monastery in Rome, directed by a nun named Sophia. For her Christian faith, she was seized and brought before the governor Probus and, when she boldly confessed Christ and refused to honor the idols, was subjected to a series of vicious tortures, under which she died. An angel led Sophia to retrieve her holy relics, which are now venerated at the monastery of Grigoriou on Mt Athos.   We are sometimes told that monasticism developed in the Church after Christianity became accepted and grew more worldly. The story of St Anastasia is one of many evidences in the lives of the Saints that what we now call monasticism was present from the earliest days of the Church.

"This Saint, who was born in Spain, was the Archdeacon of the Church of Rome, caring for the sacred vessels of the Church and distributing money to the needy. About the year 257, a harsh persecution was raised up against the Christians by Valerian. Pope Sixtus, who was from Athens, was commanded to worship the idols, and refused; before his martyrdom by beheading, he committed to Laurence all the sacred vessels of the Church. When Laurence was arrested and brought before the Prefect, he was questioned concerning the treasures of the Church; he asked for three days' time to prepare them. He then proceeded to gather all the poor and needy, and presented them to the Prefect and said, "Behold the treasures of the Church." The Prefect became enraged at this and gave command that Laurence be racked, then scourged with scorpions (a whip furnished with sharp iron points — compare II Chron. 10:11), then stretched out on a red-hot iron grill. But the courageous athlete of Christ endured without groaning. After he had been burned on one side, he said, "My body is done on one side; turn me over on the other." And when this had taken place, the Martyr said to the tyrants, "My flesh is now well done, you may taste of it." And when he had said this, and had prayed for his slayers in imitation of Christ, he gave up his spirit on August 10, 258." (Great Horologion). His icon shows him stretched on the grill.

When Laurence was arrested and brought before the Prefect, he was questioned concerning the treasures of the Church; he asked for three days' time to prepare them. He then proceeded to gather all the poor and needy, and presented them to the Prefect and said, "Behold the treasures of the Church." The Prefect became enraged at this and gave command that Laurence be racked, then scourged with scorpions (a whip furnished with sharp iron points — compare II Chron. 10:11), then stretched out on a red-hot iron grill. But the courageous athlete of Christ endured without groaning. After he had been burned on one side, he said, "My body is done on one side; turn me over on the other." And when this had taken place, the Martyr said to the tyrants, "My flesh is now well done, you may taste of it." And when he had said this, and had prayed for his slayers in imitation of Christ, he gave up his spirit on August 10, 258." (Great Horologion). His icon shows him stretched on the grill.

In this very special episode, Valerian uses drugs in a god-honoring way. Friedrich uses also drugs, but in...a different way. Pepper performs the acts of music, charioteering, and listening to a man talk. And also there is a heist going on.

As Bishop of Rome from 254 to 257, he battled the Novatian heresy. By his prayers he once healed Lucilla, the daughter of the Roman tribune Nemesius; for this both father and daughter were baptized into Christ. Saint Stephen and twelve of his priests were beheaded during a celebration of the Liturgy, during the reign of Valerian.

Friedrich strikes out on his own into the world of Aphitraea while Pepper and Valerian try desperately to convince each other to get dressed. Information is gathered, plots are thickened, and plans are hatched.

Classic train events occur: Pepper meets an evil busker, Valerian gets shaken down for his condo deed, and Friedrich can do it all by himself!
