Podcasts about Werther

You may have heard of the Werther effect, named after Goethe's 1774 novel The Sorrows of Young Werther. After the story's hero takes his own life, the book was linked to a wave of copycat suicides. Even today, research suggests that when a celebrity's suicide receives extensive media coverage, suicide rates can rise by an average of 13%. The effect has been observed following the deaths of Marilyn Monroe, Dalida, Kurt Cobain and Robin Williams. So what is the Papageno effect? So should the media avoid talking about suicide?

Ileana Cotrubaș, the exquisite Romanian soprano, departed this earthly plane last week at the age of 87. She was one of the operatic artists I most revered and respected, both for her musical and artistic integrity and for her constant search for greater dramatic truth in her portrayals. Her characterizations of Violetta, Mimì, Gilda, Adina, Susanna, and Pamina, among others, were peerless. As her career developed, she assumed “bigger” repertoire, in which, on her own terms, she was frequently as successful as her earlier repertoire. This episode, wrung straight from my mourning heart, celebrates all aspects of her operatic repertoire, including late career additions such as Amelia in Simon Boccanegra, Desdemona in Otello, and Charlotte in Werther, the role in which she took her farewell from the operatic stage. In seeking a framework in which to commemorate her, I chose duets exclusively. And, oh, the singers with whom she is partnered: José Carreras, Vladimir Atlantov, Giacomo Aragall, Franco Bonisolli, Alfredo Kraus, Luis Lima, Barry McCauley, Janet Baker, Brigitte Fassbaender, Frederica von Stade, James Bowman, Ruth Welting, Renato Bruson, Tom Krause, José van Dam, Christian Boesch, Matteo Manuguerra, Leo Nucci: the absolute crème de la crème of the great singers of that era. She will be forever remembered and held dearly in the hearts of all who loved her singing and artistry. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Một nghịch lý đặc biệt trong tiếng Hàn là từ 자살 – “tự tử” – khi đọc ngược lại sẽ thành 살자, nghĩa là “hãy sống” hoặc “chúng ta cùng sống nhé”. Cách chơi chữ này từng được sử dụng như một lời động viên: khi ý nghĩ tuyệt vọng xuất hiện, hãy thử đảo ngược nó để nhắc mình rằng vẫn phải tiếp tục sống. Thế nhưng tại một xã hội thường bị người trẻ mỉa mai gọi là “địa ngục Joseon”, việc lựa chọn sống đôi khi cũng trở thành một cuộc đấu tranh đầy mệt mỏi. Áp lực học tập, cạnh tranh việc làm, giá nhà đắt đỏ, nợ nần, làm việc quá sức, sự cô đơn và nỗi sợ bị bỏ lại phía sau khiến nhiều người cảm thấy dù đã cố gắng đến đâu, cuộc sống vẫn không trở nên dễ dàng hơn.  Quốc gia có tỉ lệ tự tử số 1 trong nhóm OECD Hàn Quốc được biết đến với kỳ tích kinh tế, công nghệ hiện đại và sức ảnh hưởng mạnh mẽ của làn sóng Hallyu. Tuy nhiên, quốc gia này đã duy trì tỷ lệ tự tử cao nhất OECD trong hơn hai thập niên. Năm 2024, tỷ lệ tự tử của Hàn Quốc là 23 - 28 người / 100.000 dân, tùy theo tiêu chuẩn tính toán. Tuy nhiên dù tính toán theo phương pháp nào thì tỉ lệ tự tử của Hàn Quốc vẫn cao hơn gấp đôi mức trung bình của khối, điều này cho thấy mức độ nghiêm trọng của vấn đề. Vì vậy, tự tử tại Hàn Quốc không còn là bi kịch cá nhân mà đã trở thành một vấn đề y tế công cộng và xã hội.  Áp lực thay đổi theo từng giai đoạn của cuộc đời Theo thống kê của Cơ quan Cảnh sát Quốc gia Hàn Quốc năm 2021, các vấn đề tâm lý và tâm thần chiếm tỷ lệ lớn nhất, với khoảng 40%, tiếp theo là khó khăn kinh tế và sinh kế với khoảng 25%, theo sau đó là bệnh tật (18%), gia đình (7%), và áp lực công việc (~4%). Nguyên nhân dẫn đến khủng hoảng cũng thay đổi rõ rệt theo từng độ tuổi.  Ở thanh thiếu niên và người trẻ, nguy cơ thường gắn với áp lực học tập, bắt nạt, khó tìm việc, thu nhập bấp bênh và tương lai thiếu ổn định; trong khi người trung niên chịu sức ép lớn từ sinh kế, nợ nần và trách nhiệm gia đình. Với người cao tuổi, bệnh tật, nghèo đói và cô đơn là những yếu tố nổi bật. Nam giới có tỷ lệ tự tử cao hơn do thường phải gánh kỳ vọng về vai trò trụ cột nhưng lại ít chia sẻ cảm xúc và ngại tìm kiếm sự hỗ trợ, khiến khủng hoảng khó được phát hiện sớm.  Xã hội đầy sự thù ghét Nhà văn đoạt giải Nobel Han Kang cho rằng tình trạng thù ghét ngày càng lan rộng tại Hàn Quốc và trên thế giới là một thách thức mà xã hội phải cùng nhau vượt qua. Phát biểu bên lề Liên hoan Avignon, bà nhấn mạnh rằng đây là thời điểm con người cần nghiêm túc suy nghĩ về cách thoát khỏi sự chia rẽ và tìm một hướng đi khác, thay vì tiếp tục chìm sâu trong “kỷ nguyên thù ghét”. Tại Hàn Quốc, sự thù ghét không chỉ thể hiện qua xung đột giới tính, thế hệ, khu vực hay chính trị mà còn lan rộng trên mạng xã hội dưới hình thức bôi nhọ, bình luận ác ý và tấn công tập thể. Trong một xã hội vốn chịu nhiều áp lực về thành tích, kinh tế và sự cô đơn, những cuộc công kích này có thể làm trầm trọng thêm khủng hoảng tâm lý ở người dễ tổn thương. Năm 2022, một nữ streamer từng bị các “cyber wrecker” đăng tải nội dung cắt ghép, giật gân và kích động đám đông công kích dù cô đã lên tiếng giải thích. Những lời miệt thị tiếp tục lan rộng trước khi cô qua đời do tự tử, cho thấy bạo lực trực tuyến có thể để lại hậu quả nghiêm trọng ngoài đời thực. Không thể quy một bi kịch cho riêng một nguyên nhân, nhưng việc liên tục bị hàng nghìn người chế giễu, phán xét và cô lập có thể đẩy một người đến cảm giác tuyệt vọng sâu sắc.  Bắt nạt từ trường học đến nơi làm việc Bắt nạt, đặc biệt là bắt nạt trên mạng, là một trong những yếu tố xã hội có thể làm gia tăng nguy cơ khủng hoảng tâm lý và ý nghĩ tự tử ở thanh thiếu niên Hàn Quốc. Nghiên cứu của giáo sư Choi Jung-ah thuộc Đại học Kyungil, thực hiện trên 3.775 học sinh trung học cơ sở, cho thấy ngay cả khi đã tính đến các yếu tố như trầm cảm, căng thẳng và lòng tự trọng, nạn nhân của bắt nạt trực tuyến và phân biệt đối xử vẫn có nguy cơ xuất hiện ý nghĩ tự tử cao hơn đáng kể. Bắt nạt không chỉ xuất hiện trong trường học hay trên mạng mà còn tồn tại tại nơi làm việc. Hai trường hợp nhân viên Naver qua đời vào năm 2021 và 2022 đều được gia đình và công đoàn liên hệ với tình trạng chèn ép, khối lượng công việc quá mức và việc phản ánh không được xử lý thỏa đáng. Các vụ việc cho thấy khi tiếng nói của người lao động bị xem nhẹ, môi trường làm việc độc hại có thể làm trầm trọng thêm khủng hoảng tinh thần và dẫn đến hậu quả nghiêm trọng. Theo hãng tin MBC, văn hóa bắt nạt “taeum” trong ngành điều dưỡng Hàn Quốc đã được liên hệ với nhiều trường hợp nhân viên y tế qua đời sau thời gian chịu áp lực và chèn ép tại nơi làm việc. Các vụ việc của nữ điều dưỡng Park Sun-wook năm 2018, Seo Ji-yoon năm 2019 và Kang Soo-bin năm 2026 cho thấy tình trạng mắng nhiếc, cô lập, giao việc quá sức và xử lý khiếu nại thiếu hiệu quả vẫn kéo dài. Giới chuyên gia cho rằng cần giảm khối lượng công việc, bảo vệ người tố cáo và xử lý nghiêm hành vi bắt nạt để ngăn những bi kịch tương tự tái diễn.  Áp lực công việc Khác với bắt nạt mang tính trực tiếp, kiệt sức nghề nghiệp có thể hình thành từ khối lượng công việc kéo dài, thiếu quyền tự chủ và môi trường tổ chức không thân thiện. Một nghiên cứu đăng trên tạp chí Frontiers in Public Health vào tháng 9.2023 do hai bác sĩ tâm thần học Hàn Quốc Jeon Sang-won và Cho Sung-jun thực hiện trên hơn 13.000 lao động thuộc nhiều lĩnh vực như sản xuất, tài chính, dịch vụ, phân phối, xây dựng và hành chính công cho thấy áp lực công việc kéo dài và tình trạng kiệt sức nghề nghiệp có thể làm gia tăng đáng kể nguy cơ xuất hiện ý nghĩ tự tử ở người lao động.  Kết quả cho thấy những người rơi vào trạng thái kiệt quệ về thể chất và cảm xúc có nguy cơ xuất hiện ý nghĩ tự tử cao hơn 36% nếu đã mắc trầm cảm và cao hơn 77% ngay cả khi không mắc trầm cảm. Nguy cơ đặc biệt gia tăng ở những người không thể tự chủ trong công việc hoặc làm việc trong môi trường thiếu thân thiện. Nhóm nghiên cứu nhấn mạnh rằng kiệt sức nghề nghiệp cần được xem là một dấu hiệu cảnh báo quan trọng, không chỉ ở nhân viên y tế mà trong mọi ngành nghề.  Chênh lệch giàu nghèo sâu sắc Tỷ lệ tự tử cao tại Hàn Quốc không chỉ liên quan đến sức khỏe tâm thần mà còn phản ánh khoảng cách giàu nghèo và một xã hội đặt nặng địa vị, thu nhập và tài sản. Những người làm công việc có vị thế thấp hoặc thu nhập bấp bênh thường dễ bị coi thường và chèn ép. Theo Yonhap, văn hóa “gapjil - 갑질” – lạm dụng quyền lực của người ở vị trí cao hơn, giàu hơn – thể hiện rõ qua các vụ nhân viên bảo vệ chung cư bị cư dân lăng mạ, hành hung và đối xử như người hầu. Trong một trường hợp, biểu ngữ tưởng niệm một bảo vệ tự tử sau thời gian bị ngược đãi còn bị tháo xuống vì cư dân lo ảnh hưởng đến giá trị căn hộ. Sự việc cho thấy tài sản đôi khi được đặt cao hơn phẩm giá và sinh mạng của người lao động. Cũng theo Yonhap, áp lực kinh tế cũng có thể đẩy các gia đình yếu thế vào bế tắc, như trường hợp một người cha thất nghiệp đã tự tử cung với bốn đứa con của mình dù đã nhận một phần hỗ trợ phúc lợi. Thủ tục phức tạp, nguồn trợ giúp hạn chế và tâm lý xấu hổ khiến nhiều người không tiếp tục tìm kiếm hỗ trợ và tự tử là một giải pháp mà họ nghĩ tới khi bất lực. Một xã hội thành công nhưng ngày càng cô đơn Sự phát triển nhanh chóng của Hàn Quốc đã làm thay đổi sâu sắc cấu trúc gia đình và cộng đồng. Gia đình nhiều thế hệ dần được thay thế bằng gia đình hạt nhân và hộ độc thân; người trẻ rời quê lên thành phố, người cao tuổi sống một mình ngày càng nhiều, trong khi áp lực công việc khiến các mối quan hệ gia đình và xã hội dần trở nên lỏng lẻo. Sự cô đơn đặc biệt nguy hiểm đối với những người vừa trải qua điều trị tâm thần. Khi rời bệnh viện, họ có thể quay trở lại căn nhà trống vắng và tiếp tục đối mặt với nợ nần, thất nghiệp, bệnh tật hoặc mâu thuẫn gia đình, nhưng không có người thường xuyên theo dõi và hỗ trợ. Vì vậy, xuất viện không đồng nghĩa với việc nguy cơ đã chấm dứt; ngược lại, đây có thể là giai đoạn người bệnh cảm thấy cô độc và dễ tổn thương nhất. Theo OECD, năm 2023, tỷ lệ tử vong do tự tử trong vòng một năm sau khi điều trị nội trú tâm thần tại Hàn Quốc là 6,9 trên 1.000 bệnh nhân, thuộc mức cao nhất trong các quốc gia được so sánh. Thực trạng này cho thấy khoảng trống lớn giữa bệnh viện và cộng đồng: nếu thiếu nhân viên quản lý trường hợp, dịch vụ chăm sóc tại địa phương và sự phối hợp lâu dài với gia đình, người có nguy cơ cao có thể nhanh chóng bị bỏ lại một mình sau thời gian điều trị ngắn ngủi.  Hiệu ứng Werther và trách nhiệm của truyền thông Nhiều nghiên cứu tại Hàn Quốc cho thấy sự ra đi của người nổi tiếng có thể làm gia tăng hành vi tự tử trong công chúng, hiện tượng được gọi là “hiệu ứng Werther”. Một nghiên cứu của các bác sĩ thuộc Bệnh viện Đại học Kosin và Đại học Dong-A đã phân tích hơn 1.000 trường hợp tự gây thương tích hoặc có hành vi tự tử được tiếp nhận tại bốn trung tâm cấp cứu ở Busan trong giai đoạn 2007–2009, sau sự ra đi của một nữ diễn viên nổi tiếng và một cựu tổng thống. Trong 60 ngày sau hai sự kiện, số bệnh nhân trung bình mỗi ngày tăng khoảng 30–40%; tỷ lệ phải điều trị tại khoa hồi sức tích cực cũng tăng gần gấp đôi.  Một nghiên cứu khác của Đại học Korea, phân tích biến động tỷ lệ tự tử trong cộng đồng sau 10 vụ tự tử của người nổi tiếng giai đoạn 1994–2005, cũng ghi nhận mức gia tăng có ý nghĩa thống kê. Tác động rõ nhất xuất hiện sau sự ra đi của nữ diễn viên Lee Eun-ju, đặc biệt ở người trẻ, người có trình độ đại học và nhân viên văn phòng. Tỷ lệ tự tử cũng tăng sau một số trường hợp người nổi tiếng khác, cho thấy mức độ ảnh hưởng có thể khác nhau tùy sức lan tỏa của từng sự kiện. Xu hướng này thường đạt mức cao nhất trong tháng đầu tiên, giảm dần ở tháng thứ hai và trở lại mức thông thường sau khoảng ba tháng. Các kết quả cho thấy người đang gặp khủng hoảng có thể tự đồng nhất mình với nhân vật nổi tiếng, từ đó làm tăng nguy cơ hành vi bắt chước, nhất là khi truyền thông đưa tin dày đặc, giật gân hoặc lãng mạn hóa bi kịch.  Chuyển đổi chứ không phải phòng ngừa Dù tình trạng tự tử tại Hàn Quốc đã ở mức đáng báo động trong nhiều năm, vấn đề này vẫn chưa được chính quyền ưu tiên tương xứng. Chỉ khoảng 10% nghị sĩ tham gia diễn đàn phòng chống tự tử, trong khi sự quan tâm từ cấp lãnh đạo cao nhất còn hạn chế. Hàn Quốc đã có đường dây nóng và trung tâm hỗ trợ, nhưng khả năng tiếp nhận, hướng dẫn can thiệp và theo dõi lâu dài vẫn chưa đáp ứng nhu cầu. Bên cạnh đó, sức khỏe tinh thần chưa được xã hội coi trọng như sức khỏe thể chất, khiến nhiều người ngại tìm kiếm sự giúp đỡ. So với nhiều nước OECD, hệ thống phòng chống tự tử của Hàn Quốc còn thiếu sự phối hợp, nhân lực và trách nhiệm rõ ràng. Kinh nghiệm của Nhật Bản cho thấy Hàn Quốc cần coi đây là nhiệm vụ quốc gia, tăng đầu tư và xây dựng hệ thống hỗ trợ liên tục từ bệnh viện đến cộng đồng.  Khủng hoảng tự tử không thể được giải quyết chỉ bằng những lời động viên, đường dây tư vấn hay các chiến dịch ngắn hạn. Điều cần thiết là một sự chuyển đổi sâu rộng trong cấu trúc và văn hóa xã hội. Hàn Quốc cần rời xa mô hình lấy hiệu suất, thành tích và lợi nhuận làm thước đo duy nhất, để tiến tới một xã hội đặt con người, sự chăm sóc và phẩm giá ở vị trí trung tâm. Một quốc gia bao dung không đánh giá con người dựa trên nghề nghiệp, thu nhập, giới tính, tuổi tác, ngoại hình hay hoàn cảnh sống; đồng thời phải bảo đảm rằng người yếu thế được tiếp cận phúc lợi mà không cảm thấy xấu hổ hoặc bị loại trừ. Từ giáo dục, lao động đến chính sách và ngân sách, mục tiêu giảm tỷ lệ tự tử phải được hiểu là một cam kết làm cho xã hội bớt khắc nghiệt và nhân ái hơn. Đảo ngược hai âm tiết có thể biến 자살 thành 살자. Nhưng để biến tuyệt vọng thành hy vọng, Hàn Quốc cần nhiều hơn một cách chơi chữ: cần xây dựng một xã hội thực sự khiến mỗi người cảm nhận được giá trị của mình và biết rằng luôn có một nơi để tìm kiếm sự giúp đỡ.

Robbie stepped into the studio today, bringing along a bag of Werther’s Originals and plenty of banter!

Benjamin Bernheim macht Massenets "Werther" bei den Salzburger Festspielen zum Ausnahmeerlebnis. Es gelingt eine konzertante Aufführung, die den vermeintlich sentimentalen Opernklassiker als packendes Musikdrama zeigt.

Marion Eigl hat in Salzburg zwischen Eröffnungsfestakt und „Carmen“-Premiere den Startenor Benjamin Bernheim getroffen. Er kam gerade von der Generalprobe zu Jules Massenets "Werther". Dieses Werk ist für den Startenor eine Herzensangelegenheit.

Idea: For movie theaters to show a movie in the morning specifically for senior citizens, including discounts and special accommodations. Also: special accommodations could include selling Werther's and prune juice as snacks, having large-text subtitles, having an intermission to explain the plot of the movie to those who have questions, having defibrillators on standby, etc.; some movies would star older actors and be in the recently popular mini-genre where the plot is "they're not too old to do some fun thing"; memories of old people giving us Werther's as kids, and how Sugar-Free Werther's don't cause cavities because (according to AI) the bacteria in your mouth can't ferment the sugar alcohols into tooth-enamel-destroying acid Nicole Gilbert (instagram.com/nicolegilbertcomedy facebook.com/nicole.gilbert.75) Juwan Tett (facebook.com/juwan.tett instagram.com/jahdawan instagram.com/newworldcomedynwc) Rob Bagley (facebook.com/ComicRobBagley instagram.com/comicrobbagley youtube.com/@robbagley) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Idee und Praxis von Genossenschaften gehören zum Weltkulturerbe. Auch für die Energiewende können sie eine Rolle spielen. Dies zeigt ein Beispiel aus Thüringen.

As Europe faces rising energy-security concerns, volatile electricity markets and growing grid congestion, a new generation of energy solutions is emerging that could turn these challenges into opportunities. Recorded live at The smarter E Europe 2026 in Munich, this episode explores how EVs, smart charging, and vehicle-to-grid technology are transforming cars into active participants in the electricity system. These “batteries on wheels” have the potential to be friends rather than foes when it comes to electricity network functionality. The Mobility House founder and CEO Thomas Raffeiner joins the pod to discuss the next phase of electrification and the company's renewed focus on energy services, following the sale of its fleet charging business. Raffeiner explains why fleet electrification is accelerating worldwide, how falling charging costs are bringing businesses closer to zero-cost and zero-emissions mobility – and why electric vehicles should be viewed as energy assets rather than as additional demand on the grid. Also joining the podcast is Petrouschka Werther, Director of Sustainable Mobility at the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, who shares how the Netherlands became a European EV-integration pioneer, with a fleet undergoing rapid transformation. Werther explains how the country's speedy adoption of solar energy, heat pumps, and electric vehicles has created significant pressure on the electricity grid — and how smart charging and vehicle-to-grid solutions are now helping to relieve that congestion. She discusses innovative projects in cities such as Utrecht, where electric vehicles are already supporting local electricity networks, and outlines the European collaboration now underway to establish the technical standards and regulatory framework needed to scale V2G across the continent. Together, these conversations paint a picture of an energy system where electric vehicles are able to become mobile batteries, flexible grid assets, and a critical component of a secure, affordable and renewable energy future. ✉️ Questions or feedback?

L'effet Werther (tiré d'un roman de Goethe paru en 1774), est un phénomène qui décrit comment la mort médiatisée d'un personnage ou d'une célébrité peut en entraîner d'autres. Marilyn Monroe, Dalida, Kurt Cobain, Robin Williams… Après chacun de ces décès très couverts par les médias, les études montrent que le taux de suicide augmente en moyenne de 13 %. Mais il existe un effet inverse, moins connu et pourtant tout aussi puissant : l'effet Papageno. En quoi consiste cet effet ? Cela veut-il dire qu'il ne faut pas parler de suicide dans les médias ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez". Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Laura Taouchanov.

Send us Fan MailTGTPTU's olds take a break from handing out shiny nickels and Werther's Originals warm from their pockets and yelling at clouds to join Gen Z cohosts Thomas and Jack for the latter's third pick from Ron Howard, the child star turned hack director's big studio, Industrial Light & Magic, four-quadrant blockbuster COCOON (1985).   Chosen due to nightmares it'd given to, and an insane plot retelling by, Jack's friend, this first-time watch for him is remembered fondly as a family outing and rewatch by Gen X cohosts Ken and Ryan. That friend's plot summary of extraterrestrials passing in human skinsuits abducting retirement home residents after seducing them with youthful lives of breakdancing and sexual congress does sound terrifying, but the film filters much of this through an all-star cast of Golden Age Hollywood actors (including this film's Oscar-winning Best Supporting Actor Don Ameche and his four-out-of-four-star gams) and the youthful innocence of child actor Barret Oliver from The NeverEnding Story (1984) and the titular Daryl in D.A.R.Y.L. (1985). The flick also has a mid-twenties Steve Guttenberg in short shorts. Who likes the Gute in short shorts? We like the Gute in short shorts.  Exclusive to listeners of this episode, Ryan reveals the location of Atlantis; Thomas considers sex as an and/or with elderly person(s); Jack reveals his childhood-trauma-by-proxy; and Ken is unimpressed by the chase scenes but very into Gwen Verdon's legs. Meanwhile, John Ritter's testicle enters the chat.   This episode is, to borrow a phrase, “blue steel; a cat couldn't scratch it.”  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter welcome back two familiar faces to the corner of Rick House in Frankfort: Diane Strong, the driving force behind the Bourbon on the Banks Festival, and Bo Cumberland, the festival's videographer and distillery film maker. Together they settle in for a relaxed preview of the 2026 Bourbon on the Banks Festival — now in its seventh year — touching on new events, expanded programming, sold-out tickets, and the evolution of the single barrel program that has become one of the festival's most celebrated features. On the Tasting Mat: - James E. Pepper 1776 Single Barrel Bourbon (Bourbon on the Banks 2025 Pick): A barrel selected the prior year by Jim, Todd, and Bo at James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington. Clocking in at 109.4 proof, this single barrel pours with rich aromas of cherry cola, leather, and a subtle barrel funk. The palate delivers a lush butterscotch sweetness — evoking Werther's Original hard candies — balanced by a satisfying peppery bite on the mid-palate. The finish is long, warm, and refuses to fade. A confidently balanced cask-strength pick available at the festival for around $60–65. *(00:01:54)* - Jeptha Creed Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel Reserve (Bourbon on the Banks 2025 Pick): A four-grain bourbon — built on the distillery's heirloom Bloody Butcher corn alongside wheat, malted barley, and rye — bottled at 119.52 proof from Warehouse B after seven years and one month of aging. The nose opens with intriguing complexity, revealing sweet cinnamon, a whisper of root beer, and a hint of fresh strawberry. The palate is full-powered and richly flavored, landing on buttered cinnamon pancakes with a wave of deep caramel. A distinctive expression that showcases just how compelling Jeptha Creed's long-aged releases have become. *(00:20:05)* On the Tasting Mat: Beyond the pours, the crew digs deep into everything Bourbon on the Banks 2026 has to offer: a sold-out Bourbon Bell River Tour with Ingram Distillery, the returning Whiskey Thief Kickoff Party (barrel burning included), a free family-friendly Friday night on the lawn with circus performers and a mermaid, the Culinary Bourbon Geek class with Peggy Noe Stevens now pushed to 2 p.m., a Friday VIP Reception and Auction sponsored by Larkin Bourbon, a Saturday morning brunch at Cypress and Oak, expanded single barrel picks from eleven distilleries including Angel's Envy, Pursuit Spirits, Jeptha Creed, Jackson Purchase, Boondocks, and others, and an after-party headlined by Creekwater with bluegrass openers Hancock and Schaus. Twilight tickets for the October 3rd main event are still available at bourbononthebanks.org. Be sure to visit thebourbonroad.com

Maya and Amy open the show asking: Tiger Woods, why don't you get a driver?!?!? On to the Miami Open. The ladies stay in a new place. Maya is naive about hotel stairwell treasures. Walking down a Florida street is always an adventure. The ladies buy the perfect amount of vacation groceries, and if you have ever been on vacation, you know how hard this is. Maya makes the best breakfast ever. The Miami Open DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Amy and Maya look for the good swag. No, they did not get the $100 hot dog. You are talking to hot dog purists. Don't waste your Wagyu on a hot dog. The ladies have their amazing seats again next to the player's box with coaches and family. Hailey Baptist is sitting a few seats away. First match: Jannik Sinner vs. Frances Tiafoe. Sinner's forehands are the hardest a human can hit anything. Seeing Martina Navratilova causes Amy an injury. Coco Gauff wears a hat? Martina, Cocoa, Big Foe, and Sinner! The Uber home was a “premium experience” filled with war movie explosions, machine gun fire, and Werther's Originals. The gals also get “back in the tank”. If you know, you know. The best product came from two nerds who don't have girlfriends, but they're pretty sure if they did, said girlfriends would want to shower with them. Amy and Maya have a great rooftop dinner starring an amazing Euro-trash DJ and a tiny, angry man. Best trip ever!

Renato Pettoello"Il giovane Goethe"Ernst CassirerMorcelliana Editricewww.morcelliana.netIn fuga dalla Germania nazista, Ernst Cassirer trova riparo in Svezia e lì, all'Università di Göteborg, tra il 1940 e il 1941, realizza il sogno di tenere un corso su Goethe. Nelle lezioni qui proposte, rinuncia allo sguardo del filosofo e del filologo, per condurre chi ascolta alla scoperta di Goethe uomo e artista, con luci e ombre, lasciando parlare il più possibile le sue opere: Götz von Berlichingen, I dolori del giovane Werther e la prima stesura del Faust, le poesie, gli scritti autobiografici e scientifici, le lettere e i diari. Ripercorrendo l'evoluzione della personalità di Goethe fino ai ventisei anni, le sue esperienze di vita e il modo in cui queste hanno trovato espressione in letteratura, Cassirer svela il legame profondo che sente con un genio la cui grandezza non è sminuita dal suo essere, prima di tutto, uomo. Così, di fronte alle nubi che si addensano sul futuro, grazie a Goethe egli sente lontani «il peso e la cupa oppressione dell'esistenza» e si rischiara «il buio in noi e attorno a noi».Ernst Cassirer (1874-1945) è stato uno dei maggiori filosofi del Novecento. Tra le sue opere nel catalogo Morcelliana ricordiamo: Goethe e il mondo storico. Tre saggi (2025 2ed.); Descartes. Dottrina, personalità, impatto (2024); Natura e filosofia in Descartes, Leibniz e Spinoza. Lezioni e conferenze 1933-1937 (2023); Il concetto di sostanza e il concetto di funzione (2018).Renato Pettoello, ordinario di Storia della filosofia all'Università di Milano, per Scholé ha pubblicato (con N. Moro) Dizionarietto di tedesco per filosofi (20182) e curato l'edizione di I. Kant, Prolegomeni ad ogni futura metafisica che possa presentarsi come scienza (2018). Presso Morcelliana ha curato la traduzione di Kant spiegato a Napoleone (2019) di Ch. de Villers e di opere di Cassirer, Simmel, Kroner e Gilson.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

According to the government, air pollution is the “largest environmental risk to public health”, and accounts for between 28,000 and 36,000 deaths each year. But did you know that the air you breathe might be impacting not only your physical health but also your mental well-being? It's the largest environmental risk to public health because harmful pollutants like fine particulate matter, ammonia and nitrogen dioxide get into our bodies, affecting the eyes, nose and throat, heart and blood vessels and the respiratory system. But there are also risks regarding our mental health. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in February 2023 reported on the link between air pollution and psychological disorders. What did the study find? Who can be affected by air pollution? And how can we protect ourselves then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Episode Description: What does it take to turn a scandal into a comeback?

Interpreten: Guilmette, Bouchard-Lesieur, Henric, Dolié, Orchestre de l'Opéra Normandie Rouen, Dumoussaud Label: Palazzetto Bru Zane EAN: 8055776010243 Zum Glück gibt es immer wieder Vereinigungen, Stiftungen, Labels etc. die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht haben, ein bestimmtes Repertoire wieder erlebbar und wieder hörbar zu machen. Palazzetto Bru Zane kümmert sich z.B. vorbildlich um das französische Repertoire zwischen 1780 und 1920, und das nicht nur als Zeitzeugnis und Momentaufnahme, sondern auf allerhöchstem künstlerischem Niveau. Auch bei Jules Massenet, wie Michael Gmasz berichtet. Wer Jules Massenet bisher ausschließlich als Opernkomponisten wahrgenommen hat, der hat einiges versäumt. Wobei ich dazusagen muss, die Wiederentdeckung seiner Orchesterlieder verdanken wir ausschließlich Palazzeto Bru Zane bzw. Bru Zane, dem Zentrum der Französischen romantischen Musik, angesiedelt in einem alten Palazzo in Venedig. Bis vor wenigen Jahren spielte diese Musik keinerlei Rolle, erst durch die Erforschung wurden viele dieser Werke erst wieder spiel- und somit hörbar gemacht. Kein Wunder, dass von den 24 hier aufgenommenen Stücken, gleich 23 als Weltersteinspielungen zu erleben sind. Mit dieser CD ist die Gesamtaufnahme sämtlicher Orchesterlieder von Massenet auch abgeschlossen. Sopranistin Hélène Guilmette, Mezzosopranistin Marie-Andrée Bouchard-Lesieur, der Tenor Julien Henric sowie der Bariton Thomas Dolié singen in Begleitung des Opernorchesters aus Rouen, dirigiert von Pierre Dumoussaud. Große Stimmen, die in der französischen Musik hörbar beheimatet sind. Hier erklingt Musik voller Lyrismus, Eleganz, Sinnlichkeit und dramatischer Effektivität, fein orchestriert, mit reichlich Platz für die jeweiligen Sängerinnen und Sänger. Und soll der legendäre Joseph Hellmesberger bei der Uraufführung des Werther 1882 in Wien gesagt haben, „Bei der Oper von Massenet is a Masse net von Massenet“, so ist es hier originelle und originäre Musik aus seiner Feder, durchaus den zeitweiligen Moden entsprechend.

In the second part of this series, we'll examine how it is that Goethe came to his conception of the Daemonic, involved as it is with Spinoza's pantheism. Goethe's introduction to Spinoza was largely through Herder, and his friendship with Herder he described as one of the most important in his entire life. We'll consider Herder's personality and some of the most important aspects of Herder's worldview, as well as the use of the term "daemonic" as Herder received it from his mentor, the "Magus of the North", Hamann. In the latter half of the episode, we'll look at the specifics of how Goethe describes the Daemonic in Dichtung und Wahrheit and in Conversations with Goethe, in which he describes it as a force that pushes against all limits and manifests in prodigious human beings. We'll relate the idea to Werther, Faust, and consider some of Goethe's real-world examples of it.

You may know Hugh Jackman as the star of X-Men, The Greatest Showman, and Les Misérables, but did you know that he has a secret to success that involves working less, not more? That's right, Hugh Jackman follows the 85% rule, an unofficial guide to life that says we should try hard at things, but not too hard. In other words, we should aim to work at 85% of our capacity, rather than 100%. But why would he do that, and does it really work? Does the science back up this claim?

Jim and Todd welcome Pete Barger, co-founder of Southern Distilling Company, to the show for a deep dive into the history and revival of Statesville, North Carolina—once known as the "Liquor Capital of the World". As one of the nation's largest privately owned distilleries, Southern Distilling balances a massive contract distilling operation with their own award-winning Southern Star brand, all while championing a "grain-to-glass" philosophy that supports over 5,000 acres of local farmland. The tasting kicks off with the Southern Star Bottled-in-Bond Straight Rye Whiskey. Crafted with a unique mash bill featuring 51% Abruzzi rye, this expression leans floral and approachable rather than aggressively spicy, offering notes of buttery rye muffin, honeyed tea, and a touch of ginger. Next, the group samples the limited-edition Southern Star Bourbon Finished in Honey Barrels. Sourced from a single barrel exchange with a local apiary, this cask-strength bourbon delivers a rich, creamy profile packed with butterscotch and toasted Werther's Original notes, balancing the natural sweetness of wildflower honey with bold bourbon character. Finally, Pete showcases their innovation with the Southern Star American Single Malt. Unlike many pot-still single malts, this 114.8-proof expression is produced on a continuous column still, resulting in a distinctively American profile bursting with "fruit cup" flavors—greenish banana, juicy fruit, and poached pear—layered over a robust grain-forward base. Throughout the episode, Pete shares fascinating insights into the "science and geometry" of their palletized warehousing, the advantages of continuous distillation for malt, and the distillery's commitment to reviving heritage grains like Abruzzi rye. Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!

Larry Werther offers a cautiously optimistic outlook on the U.S. economy, highlighting the resilience of the consumer sector despite softening labor markets and elevated stock valuations. He discusses the nuances of a K-shaped economy, where upper-income spending remains robust, while lower and middle-income households face increasing pressure. Werther also delves into the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, acknowledging both its promise and the inevitable market corrections for certain AI stocks, drawing parallels to past tech bubbles.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Send us a textThe label promised berry jam; our glasses screamed butterscotch. We cracked open Great Lakes Brewing's Cookie Exchange milk stout expecting a sweet, fruity holiday twist and instead found caramel, coffee, and a full-on Werther's vibe. After a pre-show feast and one too many smoothie-style pours at a local favorite, we got honest about why pastry stouts can overwhelm a full palate and when a single dessert beer is the right move. Then we reset with Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale—a classic, lightly skunky European-style ale that trades spice overload for clean malt, easy bitterness, and genuine drinkability.Between sips, we share a Rising River shoutout, a golf simulator discovery, and the pre-snow scramble that always hits the week of Thanksgiving. We talk roofs and gutter guards, small-town nights out, and the way winter rituals shape what you drink: a light, balanced ale for game day, a pastry stout for a slow night, and a fruit-forward option when leftovers lean rich. Our ratings are clear, our jokes are warm, and our gratitude is real—because these seasonal beers aren't just flavors; they're part of the moments we remember.If you're stocking up for the holidays, skip the spice bombs that dry out your tongue. Reach for a classic winter ale you can share across the table, and save the cookie stouts for that single slow pour after dessert. Give it a listen, tell us which winter beer belongs in your fridge, and help others find the show—follow, share with a friend, and drop a quick review.

This week is all poetry—our first all-poetry week of the Immersive Humanities project! After struggling through young Werther, I decided I needed to step back and understand Romanticism as a movement. I offer a brief review of the history leading up to Romanticism; after all, most movements are reactions against what precedes them. The printing press and Protestant Reformation blew open European thought, leading to centuries of philosophical upheaval. Empiricists like Bacon and Hume insisted that knowledge must be tested; rationalists like Descartes and Spinoza trusted pure reason. Kant eventually tried to unite both. Their world gave rise to the Enlightenment—and then came the Romantics, pushing back with emotion, imagination, and nature.That's the world our poets wrote in. This week I used Pocket Book of Romantic Poetry and read Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats (skipping Novalis and Hölderlin). I loved some poems, disliked others. Blake's mystical, anti-Christian tone left me cold. Wordsworth's childhood wonder won me over. Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner shocked me--it's gripping, almost epic. Byron was brilliant, scandalous, and endlessly readable. His Prisoner of Chillon might have been my favorite poem of the week. Shelley felt dreamlike and visionary, while Keats, to me, seemed talented but young. What did the world lose when he died?Reading these poets in their historical context changed everything. They're passionate, experimental, and surprisingly radical—not quaint! We are missing out when we resort to tired anthologies to get to know these poets--something that I didn't expect to feel so strongly about! Paired with Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony and Chopin's preludes, this week was a revelation.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)That cool Medieval Science Book The Genesis of Science by James HannamCONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts -

This week we leave the Middle Ages far behind and land squarely in the emotional whirlwind of Romanticism with Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther. Written in 1774 when Goethe was just twenty-five, the novel became what might be the first true worldwide bestseller—so influential that young men across Europe dressed like Werther, and suicides even spiked in imitation of his tragic end.Werther himself is…a lot. His passion for Charlotte—who is engaged, then married, to another man—spirals into obsession. When he realizes life without her is unbearable, he stages an elaborate, melodramatic exit: visiting friends for final goodbyes, embracing Charlotte while they read Ossian together (a scene straight out of Inferno's Francesca and Paolo), and then borrowing her husband's pistols to kill himself. The ending is bleak, as it should be.Goethe's writing is wonderfully accessible, but Werther's self-indulgent emotionalism reveals the contradictions of early Romanticism: exalting nature and feeling while refusing the grounding work of actual life. Still, this novel opens a door into the powerful reaction against Enlightenment rationalism—a door we'll walk through next week with the Romantic poets. Things are about to accelerate.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

Today some real meat and potatoes Italian opera. Oh, wait, perhaps we should call it spaghetti alla bolognese rather than meat and potatoes. So often on the podcast I bring singers to the fore that are not as well known as some of the biggest stars in opera. But today I bring you both Luciano Pavarotti and Mirella Freni, two of the most popular and celebrated Italian opera stars in the history of opera, especially opera in the late twentieth century. As many already know, the two singers both grew up in Modena, where their working-class mothers worked in the same cigar factory; as budding opera singers, they subsequently studied voice with the same teacher in Mantova. They remained lifelong friends and often sang together, especially in La Bohème. In 1980, the two returned to their native Modena where they performed together at the Teatro Comunale di Modena, known since 2021 as the Teatro Comunale Pavarotti-Freni. The concert was conducted by Freni's ex-husband Leone Magiera, also a native of Modena. In this concert, they performed duets from their shared repertoire: Elisir d'amore, Traviata, and L'amico Fritz. They also performed solo arias from La figlia del reggimento and Vespri siciliani (Freni) and Werther and L'africana (Pavarotti). The material is supplemented on today's episode with arias from both singers in contemporaneous live performances at the Arena di Verona. And this entire songfest is topped with the cherry of a live 1965 concert on French television of “O soave fanciulla” in which their joined voices are heard in the first flush of youth. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Butterscotch detonates at 114 proof. That's where our Weller Foolproof tasting takes off—one bottle from 2024, another from 2025—and the room splits over oak tannins, finish length, and whether a splash of water makes the magic or mutes it. We bring the community into the glass, reading live notes from listeners while we map out how Buffalo Trace's weeded mashbill underpins both Weller and the Pappy Van Winkle line.We walk through the Weller family tree—Special Reserve, Antique 107, Weller 12, Full Proof, and limited runs like CYPB—and explain how non-chill filtration and barrel entry proof shape texture and flavor. Expect a nose packed with caramel, brown sugar, wafer, and cocoa; a palate that screams Werther's without turning flabby; and a long, assertive finish that some read as leather or tobacco and others as dark chocolate with a bitter edge. Then we test “Knobs on Ice” for a proofed-down look at how dilution shifts oak, softens heat, and tweaks balance.Beyond tasting notes, we dig into the realities of availability. Why Weller vanishes from shelves, how lotteries and border-town stores change the game, and where MSRP actually lands when you get lucky. We close with the Old Louisville Whiskey Company's Barrel Bottle Breakdown scoring: nose, body, taste, and finish—and Weller Foolproof walks away with 15.75 out of 18. If you're chasing a bottle, this is the roadmap. If you've got one open, pour along and compare your notes with ours.Enjoy the ride?

More than two years and nearly two hundred episodes ago, I published an episode on the great Italian tenore di grazia Cesare Valletti. Today I revisit his recorded legacy, focusing on his prowess in the French repertoire, both in opera and, rather uncharacteristically for an Italian tenor of the era, mélodie. Not only do I present the complete 1965 LP entitled Cesare Valletti Sings French Art Songs, which was his final release on the RCA Victor label, but I supplement that with two fantabulous death scenes from two of Jules Massenet's most popular operas, Manon (a live 1954 recording pairing Valletti with Victoria de los Angeles at her most memorable), and Werther (a 1962 studio recording of excerpts from the opera featuring Rosalind Elias, the dearly beloved mezzo-soprano of blessed memory.) Valletti once again reveals himself an artist of refined taste, as well as (in the operatic excerpts) a surprisingly powerful and forthright vocal present and (in the song repertoire) an interpreter with superb French diction and exquisite insight into the half-lit atmosphere of the genre. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.
