¿Por qué importa la vida de un escritor para entender su obra? En esta conversación , con nuestro amigo Javier Peña, director del Podcast Grandes Infelices, exploramos esa pregunta a través de la vida de grandes autores como Kafka, Virginia Woolf, Hemingway, Pessoa y muchos otros que transformaron su dolor, sus amores y su inconformidad con el mundo en obras inolvidables. Hablamos de la infelicidad como motor creativo, de los libros que cambiaron la literatura y de por qué conocer la biografía de un escritor puede transformar la forma en que leemos sus obras. Una conversación sobre su último libro Tinta Invisible, sobre nuestros vínculos con las historias, creatividad, lectura y la necesidad de encontrar, en los libros, mundos donde sí queremos vivir.

In this penultimate episode of our now long-running Mike Nichols Marathon, we are touching base with Closer. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Mike Nichols revisiting his dramatic comfort zone and rediscovering the same energy that led him to direct Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Carnal Knowledge, a handful of substantial changes the movie made to Patrick Marber's play and the movie becoming a celebration of stage work captured on film. We also discuss the film's central conceit as an exploration of a variety of relationship dysfunctions, the movie as a protoplast to Inside Out and much more!Tune in and enjoy!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/uncutgemspod (3$/month)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and support us by gaining access to ALL of our exclusive podcasts, such as bonus tie-ins, themed retrospectives and director marathons!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Head over to our website to find out more!

Virginia Woolf called Persuasion "the most deeply felt of Jane Austen's novels." It may also be her most difficult novel. This season, we're taking it slowly, reading one chapter each week and lingering over Austen's extraordinary sentences together.Join Vanessa Zoltan and the Rev. Dr. Stephanie Paulsell as they explore Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth's second-chance love story while asking timeless questions about grief, goodness, beauty, yearning, and what it means to find your way in a world that doesn't always see your worth.If you want to be part of the conversation, you can join us for our weekly class which will follow each episode of the podcast.

Virginia Woolf's Night & Day | Zwischen Mathematik und Emanzipation: Lohnt sich das Historiendrama? In diesem Podcast verrät euch Stu dank Sven, ob sich „Virginia Woolf's Night & Day“ lohnt und warum sich ein Kinobesuch ab dem 9. Juli auszahlen könnte. London im Jahr 1910: Katharine Hilbery (Haley Bennett), Enkelin eines berühmten Dichters, interessiert sich weit mehr für Mathematik als für eine standesgemäße Ehe. Als ihre Familie sie dazu drängt, ihren langjährigen Freund William (Jack Whitehall) zu heiraten und ihre wissenschaftlichen Ambitionen aufzugeben, gerät ihr Leben aus dem Gleichgewicht. Bei einer Teegesellschaft begegnet sie der engagierten Frauenrechtlerin Mary (Lily Allen) und dem charmanten Verleger Ralph Denham (Elyas M'Barek), der ihre Überzeugungen gehörig ins Wanken bringt. Während ein Komet den Himmel über London erhellt und persönliche Schicksalsschläge alles verändern, muss Katharine erkennen, dass ihre größte Entdeckung nicht in den Sternen, sondern in ihrem eigenen Herzen auf sie wartet.

Rencontre avec Ivan Berquiez à l'occasion de la parution de son livre, Un pieu à soi, Virginia Woolf regarde Buffy, aux éditions La Variation. Virginia Woolf se serait-elle jetée dans la rivière si elle avait pu regarder Buffy contre les vampires ?1941->1997 back to the future c'est exactement le projet d'Ivan Berquiez. Avec une grande finesse, l'auteur entremêle la série épopée et les écrits de l'autrice, quand Woolf rencontre Buffy, c'est évidemment la surprise et d'un épisode à l'autre, leurs combats de vie se mêlent, sans forcer. Au-delà de l'impact de la pop culture sur nos vies, il y a dans ce livre une réflexion profonde sur la mort, sur la vie qui cesse d'être envieuse. Vampire et dépression, écriture et solitude, c'est un récit passionnant qui se déroule sous nos yeux.Photo © Sido Lansari.Saison #6 : Univers graphique : Mirion Malle | Habillage sonore : Pierre-Antoine Naline, accompagné de la chorale Dònas d'Òlt d'après le chant La Rota composé par Nadèta Carita | À la conversation et à la réalisation : Soazic Courbet.

In this episode of PlanningxChange, Jess Noonan and Peter Jewell speak with Maree Marshall from Urbis about waste, resource recovery and the city. Maree has worked in the waste and resource recovery sector for more than 25 years, advising councils, government agencies and designers on how waste systems operate in practice. The discussion begins with the ordinary household bin, but moves quickly into the larger planning and infrastructure questions behind waste collection, recycling and recovery. Topics include FOGO, glass recycling, container deposit schemes, textile waste, op shops, apartment buildings, transfer stations, repair spaces, tool libraries, landfill, waste-to-energy and the idea of local circular economy hubs. Maree explains why recycling is not the whole solution, and why better outcomes depend on reducing consumption, separating materials properly, designing buildings and precincts more intelligently, and making reuse and repair easier for communities. The conversation also considers how waste moves through cities, whether Australia relies too heavily on trucks, the role of technology and AI in sorting systems, and the importance of realistic policy that works for households, councils and the built environment. Podcast extra / culture corner includes home repairs, tuckpointing, the op shop challenge and Peter reading Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway. PlanningxChange is proud to be a contributor to the Urban Broadcast Collective. Episode released 1 July 2026.

Virginia Woolf, Colette, Patti Smith : trois femmes de nationalités et d'époques différentes, mais qui ont toutes cherché à se construire et se préserver "une chambre à soi", selon la formule célèbre de Virginia Woolf. Cela dans le but d'écrire, de créer. Plus largement, j'interrogerai cette quête, par rapport à mon propre cheminement, et comme métaphore d'une affirmation d'indépendance, d'une conquête de soi par rapport à l'espace comme au temps. Livre de Chantal Thomas publié aux éditions Actes Sud Lu par l'autrice et Marie-Sophie Ferdane

Join these two bestselling authors as they discuss their new books set in Old Hollywood. They talk about not outlining their books because “it ruins all the fun,” how locations are sentient, how no two people read the same book, being traumatized by rabid Virginia Woolf fans, and visiting the mind-blowing prop room at Warner Bros. ​You might even hear about the connection between handwriting every day and dementia.

In ‘A Room of One's Own', Virginia Woolf writes about how radical it feels to read the sentences: ‘Chloe liked Olivia. They shared a laboratory together…'. Woolf probably didn't know the work of her contemporary Jean Rhys, but if she had read ‘A Voyage in the Dark' (1934), she might well have marvelled at, and even envied, its radical realism. Rhys' story of a young woman who moves from the Caribbean to England and enters a world of financial and sexual exploitation was drawn from experiences unavailable to Woolf. In this episode, James is joined by the biographer Miranda Seymour to discuss Rhys's virtuosity of technique and detachment, her extraordinary ear for dialogue and the places where her mastery of realist method gave way to modernism.

Jules Scheele shares his gorgeous graphic novel adaptation of Virginia Woolf's ORLANDO, a landmark of queer literature, and a playful, profound exploration of identity, art, gender, and transformation.

James Cameron-Wilson says that, despite the heatwave, box office was up 72%, thanks to #1 Toy Story 5. Maintaining the franchise's fantastic quality, it is vastly amusing but also perhaps the most moving of the films. With a plot about the damage screens are doing to children, it has a joyful score, new characters and a stellar voice cast. At #12 is Virginia Woolf's Night & Day, with Haley Bennett an astronomer suffering the social mores of the day. It's a very loose adaptation, with plot, class and language all making it seem more modern. Although kinetic, it feels redundant, despite a great central performance. James wondered why it was made at all. He did, however, enjoy Netflix's Office Romance with Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein. Goldstein, famous from Ted Lasso, co-produced and co-wrote this romcom, which is silly and predictable but also an entertaining romp. Learn more about your ad choices.

Classic adaptation of Broadway success.

En este episodio recordamos que hace 60 años se estrenaba una de las mejores radiografías sobre el fracaso matrimonial que nos ha mostrado el cine como es “¿Quién teme a Virginia Woolf?”, la película dirigida por Mike Nichols y protagonizada por Elizaberth Taylor y Richard Burton. Y hace 120 años también venía al mundo el gran Billy Wilder al que hemos dedicado esta semana el capítulo de nuestra “Enciclopedia curiosa del cine”. Charlamos con el director Sergio Oskman sobre películas de terror y en nuestra sección de cine de aventuras viajamos en una alfombra mágica a un mundo de fantasía y exotismo oriental con “El ladrón de Bagdad”.

Simi Cheema talks to actors Haley Bennet and Jack Whitehall about their new film, Virginia Woolf's Night and Day.  Based on Virginia Woolf's funniest novel, Night & Day is an un-romantic comedy about the passionate astronomer, Katharine Hilbery who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage.   Her bold challenge to Edwardian patriarchy is set against the suffragette movement and advances in science and technology.   Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases a star-studded ensemble of humorous performances.

Writer Katie da Cunha Lewin on how physical spaces shape creative work, why the perfect writing room is a myth, and the rituals and routines that sustain a writing life. We discuss Why the perfect writing space is largely a myth (and why that can set you free). How physical environments quietly shape creative practice and identity. What our fascination with visiting writers' houses reveals. The cultural baggage around “the writer's room,” and who it quietly excludes. The way motherhood compresses time and forces a new kind of creative discipline. A concept of psychological distance between domestic life and creative work. When creative rituals help (and when writers thrive without them). How to begin designing a writing space that actually works for you. What it takes to find the story inside a work of nonfiction. Why putting yourself on the page makes nonfiction stronger. Resources & Links

If this week's Empire Podcast doesn't give you a Buzz, it might at least give you a... wonderful sense of warmth and well-being, as all-round acting legends Tom Hanks and Tim Allen chat to Chris Hewitt about returning as Woody and Buzz Lightyear for Toy Story 5, and their surprising plans to keep working together. [47:02 — 1:01:44 approx] Either side of that, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer to discuss the strange phenomenon of minor celebrities being asked to lend their voices to animated movies; movies that could have a sequel if you added an 'S' to their title, a la Aliens; look at the week's movie news, including a discussion of the final Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer; discover Helen's hatred for a major Hollywood star; and review Toy Story 5 and Virginia Woolf's Night & Day.

Virginia Woolf's Night and Day is out today in cinemas. It's billed as an unromantic-comedy set in the early 20th century and tells the story of young aristocrat Katharine Hilbery, who dreams of studying astronomy at university, but society's expectation is that she should marry. Anita Rani is joined by Haley Bennett who plays the determined lead character and Anna Snaith, Professor of Twentieth-Century Literature in the English Department, King's College, London.Andy Burnham has won in the Makerfield by-election, paving the way for a leadership challenge to Sir Keir Starmer. Baroness Harriet Harman, currently the Prime Minister's Adviser on Women and Girls, spoke this morning about the need for there to be a woman in that likely contest. Anita asks the BBC's Chief Political Correspondent Henry Zeffman why there are currently none in the running.With only men allowed to ascend the throne and only a Princess on offer, Japan's Parliament has drafted a bill with some solutions. Could the country ever see a female emperor and what would this look like? Anita speaks to BBC Tokyo Correspondent Kurumi Mori and Professor of Japanese Studies at the University of Sheffield, Jennifer Coates. A new study from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark has raised questions about whether each additional hour to an eight-hour working day of bending forward, walking and standing may increase the risk of pregnancy loss in the first trimester. This is an observational study and does not prove cause and effect. BBC health reporter Michelle Roberts explains.Eli Davies has embarked on a nostalgic and cultural exploration of the single woman's kitchen, unpacking women's complicated history with domesticity and how their choice to couple up may shape mealtimes and their relationships with food, cooking habits and self-care. Eli's book The Spinster Cookbook: Culture, Politics and Pleasure in the Single Woman's Kitchen is also a story of rebellion, explaining how cooking for one as a woman can become an act of care, defiance, pleasure, and self-expression.

She also reflects on the joys of shooting in North East England and the challenges of balancing playfulness and experimentation with the demands of script, budget and schedule. Haley speaks of finding inspiration in her character, Katharine Hilbery's big dreams and belief in her own instincts. Set against the backdrop of the suffragette movement the film brings into sharp focus the choices and limitations faced by early twentieth century women but also their determination to break down barriers and create new pathways.

TL;DRToday we open the doors. Crossroads Publishing Group—a hybrid publisher of serious nonfiction in Chattanooga—announces the Crossroads Commons, our founding membership. Three tiers; fifty lifetime Founder spots, ever.• Join the Commons → crossroadspublishing.group/commons• Publish with us → crossroadspublishing.group/engagements• The catalog → crossroadspublishing.group/catalog• Questions → chad@crossroadspublishing.groupMost small presses spend their first year trying to look like a big press. We're not doing that. A hybrid publisher of serious nonfiction, based in Chattanooga, founded this year, built around the idea that books are occasions for community—and that the press's job is to take that seriously.The Long StoryA few weeks ago I made a decision about how Crossroads Publishing Group would set itself apart: a real commitment to relationship. Then, on a mountain bike trail a few days ago, the bigger version of the idea arrived. It's not just relationship—one-on-one, editor and author. It's community. And once you see it, you can't unsee it: leadership books end at community. Recovery books end at community. Theology, parenting, loneliness, climate—trace the actual argument and the topic turns out to be the doorway in. Community is the thing itself.So I'm building the press to take that seriously, not as a marketing line, but as operating structure. Today's episode lays out the whole thing.Five structural commitments:* Every Crossroads author gets a direct-purchase URL for their community—their people buy from the press, their royalty is higher, and the relationship stays out of the algorithm.* Every book launches with an event in the author's community, wherever they live.* Every Crossroads author appears on The Difficulty.* Authors meet each other—the catalog becomes a community of minds, not a list of titles.* Readers get a structured way to belong to the press: the Crossroads Commons, open today.The Commons, three tiers:* Reader — $200/year. Every new title shipped to your door on publication day. A quarterly Circle Letter. 20% off direct orders. Your name in the colophon of every title shipped during your membership year.* Patron — $500/year. Everything above, plus a signed limited-edition hardcover each year (printed exclusively for Patrons), an invitation to the annual Crossroads gathering, private author Q&As at every launch, and 30% off.* Founder — $1,000, one time, lifetime. Limited to the first 50, ever. All Patron benefits in perpetuity, your name permanently in the colophon of every title we publish during your lifetime, and one annual meal or coffee with me. When the 50 are filled, that door closes forever.The Commons isn't a subscription to this podcast, The Difficulty stays free, always. It's membership in the press itself. And you shouldn't join from obligation or scarcity pressure. Join because the editorial direction and the community we're forming matter to you, and you want to be part of the early conversation.→ Join the Crossroads CommonsThe four doors, if you're wondering which is yours:* Authors — from a $750 Legacy Audit to the full Compile to Publish engagement (print + ebook + audiobook, six to eight months): crossroadspublishing.group/engagements* Readers — the Circle: crossroadspublishing.group/circle* Writers developing a manuscript in community — the First Draft Cohort, applications open July 13, inaugural class begins September 14.* Just want a book? — crossroadspublishing.group/catalog — William James's The Varieties of Religious Experience is in print now; Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own is next (and I'm narrating the audiobook myself)This is your moment to step in.—Chad This is a public episode.

Sabah gözlerinizi açtığımızda, kimse konuşmadan kafamızın içinde başlayan o sesi düşünelim. Peki bu ses gerçekten bize mi ait? Antik Yunan'dan nörobilime, Sokrates'ten Virginia Woolf'a uzanan bu bölümde iç sesimizin izini sürüyoruz. Tanrının sesi mi, beynin provasının mı, yoksa yıllar içinde içselleştirdiğimiz başkalarının sesi mi? Cevap sandığımızdan çok daha karmaşık.

Hoy Bob ha lanzado su mirada sobre el calor en las aulas ("¿qué pretenden, que el colegio sea un spa para la chavalada?" se ha preguntado, con toda la ironía), y ha pedido a los oyentes que nos lean las últimas frases que han subrayado de libros. Y la audiencia del Hoy por Hoy ha respondido recordando, por ejemplo, el discurso de Federico García Lorca en la inauguración de la Biblioteca de Fuentevaqueros, o las palabras de Virginia Woolf en Una habitación propia: hay que pedir pan, pero también cultura. De todo hay hambre, como llevan meses demostrando los profesores en huelga en Valencia y Cataluña. También de entornos donde aprender y estudiar deje de ser un suplicio por culpa del calor. 

Today, I'm thrilled to announce my interview with legendary playwright Sarah Ruhl. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including her experience breaking the fourth wall in EURYDICE, telling her own story in LETTERS FROM MAX, watching the audience response to IN THE NEXT ROOM, teaching at the Yale School of Drama, addressing addiction in BECKY NURSE OF SALEM, exploring Virginia Woolf's portrayal of gender in ORLANDO, the advice she got from Paula Vogel, doing research to create the three parts of PASSION PLAY, exploring Chekhov's writing when adapting THE THREE SISTERS, how a writing exercise led to HOW TO TRANSCEND A HAPPY MARRIAGE, passing the torch to Philip Howze, turning MELANCHOLY PLAY into a musical, telling a metatheatrical story in STAGE KISS, and so much more. Don't miss this wide-ranging conversation with a brilliant writer.

In August 1923, halfway through writing ‘Mrs Dalloway', Virginia Woolf recorded a new idea in her diary: she would ‘dig out beautiful caves' behind her characters, and ‘the caves shall connect, and each comes to daylight at the present moment'. This was Woolf's ‘tunnelling process', a transformative approach that led to the novel's celebrated modernist innovations, with its depiction a group of circulating consciousnesses in London over the course of one day. But underlying these innovations are the techniques of 19th-century realism, and in this episode James Wood explores what Woolf owes to Dickens and Flaubert, and the ways she breaks down these certainties to arrive at the ultimate unknowability of character. Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from the episode.

"Whatever happens, stay alive.Don't die before you're dead.Don't lose yourself, don't lose hope, don't loose direction. Stay alive, with yourself, with every cell of your body, with every fiber of your skin. Stay alive, learn, study, think, read, build, invent, create, speak, write, dream, design.Stay alive, stay alive inside you, stay alive also outside, fill yourself with colors of the world, fill yourself with peace, fill yourself with hope.Stay alive with joy. There is only one thing you should not waste in life,and that's life itself..."Virginia Woolf

When the HMS Dreadnought was launched in 1906 it completely revolutionized naval warfare. It made all previous ships obsolete and helped spur an arms race between Britain and Germany. For many the Dreadnought was symbol of the militarism that was sweeping Europe before World War One. Then in 1910 the ship was targeted by pranksters, who managed to get access to Dreadnought by impersonating Abyssinian (Ethiopian) royalty. The pranksters wore gaudy theatre costumes and blackface make-up. Despite this, they still somehow managed to fool the Dreadnought's officers. In the years since the prank many have debated it's significance. Some have argued that the prank was anti-authoritarian and anti-imperialist, but does that give the pranksters too much credit? Was the Dreadnought Hoax little more than a racist stunt meant to build the clout of England's most infamous hoaxer? Tune-in and find out how Virginia Woolf, Dreadnought Operettas, and Beelzebub all play a role in the story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As the History of Literature Podcast Tour rolls through literary England, Jacke and Emma are revisiting some past episodes with connections to what they're seeing and doing. Today, they're in Bath, which naturally means spending some time with Jane Austen. In this episode, which first ran in April 2023, Jacke considers Austen's Persuasion, a novel of missed opportunities and second chances. Why did Harold Bloom call this "the perfect novel"? And why did Virginia Woolf say, "In Persuasion, Jane Austen is beginning to discover that the world is larger, more mysterious, and more romantic than she supposed"?

This is a preview of a premium episode. To the listen to the full thing, head over to our Substack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/mason-currey At several points in his life, Eli imagined what it would take to become a full-time artist — a photographer or illustrator free from client work. What he didn't realize was that he already had an example of a different path right in front of him: his father, a practicing physician whose published poetry earned recognition from luminaries like John Ashbery. Mason Currey's most recent book explores these alternate paths. He's the author of Daily Rituals, the beloved book that catalogued the working habits of nearly 200 artists, writers, and composers. His new book, Making Art and Making a Living, goes deeper — into the financial realities, the schemes, the compromises, and the surprising strategies that creatives have used to keep their work alive across centuries. What he found is both humbling and strangely reassuring. Virginia Woolf had inherited investments. Kafka had insurance. Chantal Akerman had a cash register she skimmed from. John Cage had Italian game show winnings. And yet, running through all of it is the same question that Mason has been asking about his own life since the day he sat down to write a novel and couldn't: How am I going to pay for this? In this conversation, Mason walks us through the four funding models his book explores — family money, day jobs, patronage, and schemes — and what the lives of creatives from Kafka to Murakami can teach us about building a practice that actually lasts. Bio Mason Currey is the author of the Daily Rituals books, featuring brief profiles of the day-to-day working lives of more than 300 brilliant minds. His latest book, Making Art and Making a Living, was published by Celadon Books on March 31, 2026. Currey lives in Los Angeles and writes Subtle Maneuvers, a twice-monthly newsletter on the creative process. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This is a premium episode on Design Better.

Isn't interesting that around the same time that the narrative of the quintessential serpentine representation of the divine, dark feminine, chaos embodied, Tiamat's evisceration by Marduk, the male storm God par excellence gained mythological dominance, Hammurabi hammers the "law" into his stone, thus enshrining the role of the conscious, analytic, externally-oriented & physicalist mind as more important or "holier" than the feminine, subconscious, interiorized, symbolic & archetypical mind? Isn't also interesting that after this mythological narrative gained dominance, and after this major historical event, the religious traditions of the late neolithic era and up the present day have been shifting further and further away from Goddess worship (i.e an immanence-oriented, world embracing, embodied approach to religion) in favor of the more transcendentalist, world hating, body-denying, struggle-oriented "father sky" idea? In this talk, after we explore some ideas about Sanskrit as a gendered language and the widespread implications of that, and after we make a few claims about shifting our discussions on gender to a more interiorized, psychological place, and certainly after some long digressions on feminist theories of the 19th century (Virginia Woolf, Vivekananda etc.), we turn to one of the most important things we could ever discuss as a śākta (I.e, goddess oriented) community: what is a woman? And more importantly: in what sense is God a woman?Really, this lecture is just three hours of us unpacking the rishikā, Ariana Grande's mahavākya: God Is A Woman.Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and again at Friday 11am PST Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM
