Several years ago, Pastor and author Chuck Swindoll entered into a unique mentoring relationship with two of his grandsons, Austin Swindoll Thompson and Parker Nelson, both of them in their thirties. Both had endured difficult family situations during their childhood and relocated to the Dallas-Fort Worth area to be closer to their extended family. In this podcast John Coulombe and Wayne Rice talk with Austin and Parker about the relationship they now have with their “Bubba” Swindoll and what lessons they have learned from their mentoring sessions with him. And in a surprise development, they are joined on the phone by “Bubba” himself. Books referenced in this podcast:Living on The Ragged Edge by Chuck Swindoll David: A Man of Passion and Destiny by Chuck SwindollThink and Grow Rich by Napoleon HillThe Screwtape Letters by C.S.

Losers Jenn Adams, Rachel Reeves, and Ana Marie Cox check into Bates Motel on a rainy night to discuss Robert Bloch's Psycho, the 1959 best-selling novel that Alfred Hitchcock turned iconic the following year for Universal Pictures. Danse Macabre is a recurring feature of The Losers' Club that journeys through all the books that influenced Stephen King. (You know, as he listed in 1981's Danse Macabre. Ahem, hence the name of this series.) In the past, we've catalogued Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, William Golding's Lord of the Flies, Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, Peter Straub's Ghost Story, and Jay Anson's The Amityville Horror.

In Episode 204, Sarah and Catherine of Gilmore Guide to Books catch up on the 12 new releases they shared in the Summer 2025 Book Preview, now that they've read them — or at least tried to!  They share their reading stats, chat about what worked — and discuss which books didn't work and why.    This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Announcement One of the many benefits to supporting the podcast through either our Patreon Community or our Substack Community (both for just $7/mo) is that you get access to several bonus podcast episode series, including Book Preview Extras! In these episodes, Catherine and I share at least 4 bonus books we are excited about that we did not share in the big show preview episode. Get more details about all the goodies available and sign up here for Patreon and here for Substack! Highlights After Catherine's 100% success rate this spring, she encountered a near-full reversal of fortune this summer. Sarah's summer reading improved dramatically over her spring selections. Between Sarah and Catherine, there are several DNFs, one 5-star book, one 3-star book, and a scattering of books in the 4-star range. Sarah's summer circle back theme seems to be “Why aren't more people reading these books?!” Meanwhile, someone please hand Catherine MORE in her books and with a heavy side of PLOT. They name the best and worst books picks for summer!

Im Roman «Jenseits der See» des Iren Paul Lynch treiben zwei Fischer über Monate in einem Fischerboot übers Meer, ohne Aussicht auf Rettung. Das Werk sei «gewaltig», findet Host Felix Münger. Es erkunde überzeugend Grundfragen des Lebens und sei «bei aller Brutalität doch voller Lebenskraft». Zwei mexikanische Fischer werden auf dem Pazifik vom Sturm überrascht. Das Fischerboot gleitet fortan ohne Motor und Navigation übers Wasser. Roher Fisch und Regenwasser bilden die Nahrung. Mit diesem Roman hat der Booker-Preis-Träger Paul Lynch eine Parabel auf das Mensch-Sein an sich geschaffen. Wie begegnen wir den Dingen, die uns widerfahren? Was ist wichtig? Was gibt dem Leben Sinn, wenn alles Vertraute und sämtliche Gewissheiten wegbrechen? ____________________ Dieses Buch steht im Zentrum der Folge: Paul Lynch. Jenseits der See.

Fondata nel 1980 da Antonio Murru e Donatella Pau, Is Mascareddas ha rivoluzionato il panorama teatrale sardo valorizzando il Teatro di Figura. La compagnia ha contribuito alla diffusione di questa antica arte, spesso poco conosciuta sull'isola, con produzioni innovative e partecipazione a festival internazionali. Fin da subito, Is Mascareddas ha avuto un ruolo di primo piano nella diffusione di questa forma teatrale, organizzando eventi, festival e collaborando con compagnie italiane e internazionali. Nel 1999 la compagnia ha inaugurato la Biblioteca Yorick. Un archivio unico in Europa con circa 4.000 volumi su teatro di animazione provenienti da tutto il mondo. Nel 2008, Is Mascareddas ha inaugurato il Teatro Mo.Mo.Ti a Monserrato, un luogo dedicato al teatro, al cinema e all'arte internazionale. Dopo una ristrutturazione nel 2012, il teatro è stato reso accessibile a tutti, senza barriere architettoniche. Questo spazio rappresenta oggi un punto di riferimento per il teatro di figura in Sardegna e oltre. Is Mascareddas ha realizzato numerosi spettacoli, partendo dal tradizionale teatro di burattini e spingendosi verso nuove tecniche di animazione. Tra le produzioni più importanti ci sono La Giara di Pirandello (1985) e Rebecca. Le avventure di una gallina (2000), uno spettacolo senza parole. Negli anni '90 è nata la figura di Areste Paganòs, un burattino sardo protagonista di una trilogia che affronta temi come la faida, la balentìa e il banditismo. Nel 2007 è stato il turno di Giacomina e il popolo di legno, ispirato alle opere di Eugenio Tavolara e Tosino Anfossi. Tra le produzioni per adulti spiccano Le Mosche (2009), ispirato a William Golding, e A Regime di brezza (2009). La nostra intervista con Antonio Murru ha toccato diversi temi centrali che raccontano il valore e l'unicità di questa forma teatrale spesso sottovalutata. Uno degli argomenti principali è stata la potenza espressiva del teatro con i burattini, considerato un linguaggio artistico completo e capace di emozionare tanto quanto il teatro tradizionale. Grande attenzione è stata dedicata anche ad uno dei personaggi simbolo della compagnia, il burattino Areste Paganòs. L'intervista ha affrontato inoltre anche l'importanza di avvicinare un pubblico sempre più vasto. In particolare le famiglie, invitando genitori e bambini a scoprire il teatro di figura come un'esperienza unica e coinvolgente per tutte le età. Non sono mancati i riferimenti alle esperienze internazionali di Is Mascareddas, dove la compagnia ha portato con orgoglio un pezzo di Sardegna, ricevendo grande interesse e apprezzamento.

High School Murder Tournament - Kinji Fukasuku's Battle Royale  This week Mr. Chavez & I look back to the beginning of the new millennium and an examination of the paranoia, violence, and uncertainty societies all over the world were facing. In 2000 Japanese director Kinji Fukasuku would bring to the screen one of the most controversial, thought-provoking, and challenging films of the new century. Battle Royale would stun and anger audiences in Japan and - later - throughout the world with its (seemingly) hopelessly dystopian look at a future not very distant from our own. Societies are breaking down and youth violence is running rampant; In the tradition of Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange as well as considerable debt to William Golding's 1954 novel, The Lord of the Flies, Fukasuku combines his influences in a world that resembles "reality television" without the cameras. It's a difficult and challenging movie that rewards its viewer with a sense of purpose that could have easily been overlooked. Take a listen as we remember Fukasuku's game-changing Battle Royale. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many Thanks.

William Golding's 1952 novel Lord of the Flies is one of those books most of us of a certain age were forced to read in high school and pretty much universally hated. Often presented as a bleak meditation on human nature, Lord of the Flies certainly isn't that. But why were its real themes - the destructive nature of colonialism, the inconsistency between the ideals of democratic nations and their actual values, and how and why fascists tend to rise the top - so routinely overlooked for so long? Here, we suggest it's because Lord of the Flies is a book so obvious and unsparing in its symbolism it can really only be appreciated when its themes are playing out in front of us. As they are right now. With abandon. In this episode we also talk about how the Showtime series Yellowjackets helps illuminate why Lord of the Flies needs to be understood allegorically, as well as how fascism is depicted in another popular dystopian work involving teenagers killing each other, The Hunger Games. John's essay on Lord of the Flies can be found on our blog here: Lord of the Flies is more relevant now than ever

We are FINALLY back again (so sorry) after 4 months of nail-biting, painstaking silence (we know you missed us) to talk about William Golding's harrowing novel, Lord of the Flies. In Lord of the Flies, a group of English schoolboys survive a plane crash on a desert island. As they struggle to establish political order and cooperate, they are forced to discover the dark side of their own nature. What's going on with pigs in Golding's novel? And what are these constant references to "The Beast"? And are Christians actually all anarchists? Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/UnreliableNarratorsPodcast Questions? Comments?

El premio Alfaguara 2025 ya está registrado en la Biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy. Guillermo Saccomanno nos ha visitado para presentarnos  su novela galardonada 'Arderá el viento' que nos lleva a una decadente villa turística de la costa argentina en la que violencia se manifiesta con todos sus apelidos: social, política o familiar.  Es una historia donde sexo, poder y dinero conforman la ecuación perfecta de la degradación. El autor argentino, además de donarnos un ejemplo de su libro, nos ha donado otros dos libros que le han marcado en su vida: 'Los hermanos Karamazov' de Fiodor Dostoievski (Alianza) y  'Moby Dick' de Herman Melville (Anaya).  Antonio Martínez Asensio, nuestro bibliotecario, nos ha traído tres libros hoy. Por actualidad y por el día internacional de la poesía, dos poemarios:  'La comedia de la carne' de Carlos Pardo (La Bella Varsovia) y 'La lentitud de los bueyes' de Julio Llamazares – Ilustrado por Leticia Ruifernández - Editorial Nórdica. Y como siempre, nos deja el volumen de su programa 'un libro una hora' que hoy fue 'Viento del norte' de  Elena Quiroga (Bamba Editorial) . De todas las novedades de la semana nos quedamos con dos que nos trajo el empleado de la biblioteca Pepe Rubio: 'El vuelo del hombre' de Benjamín G. ROSADO , premio Biblioteca Breve 2025 editado por Seix Barral, y 'El hielo de los suyos' de Montse Sánchez Alonso (Tránsito).  Tampoco ha faltado a la cita de la Biblioteca el rescatador de libros abandonados Pascual Donate que esta semana salvó del reciclaje a 'Solteronas: historias de un estigma'  de Manuel Jiménez Núñez  (Espasa). Por último las donaciones de los oyentes que fueron: 'Carcoma' Layla Martínez (Amor de madre), 'El señor de las moscas' de William Golding (Alianza) y 'El corazón helado' de Almudena Grandes (Tusquets)

William Golding coined the phrase "failure of imagination" in his book The Lord of the Flies in 1954. In today's episode we look at how a failure of our imagination can shape our defeat in recovery. And we'll discuss the positive aspects of imagination: exploring new ideas, birthing creativity and solving problems can be a key to a successful recovery.

¡Sean ustedes bienvenidas al episodio 96 de esta temporada! El día de hoy hablaremos de la obra de William Golding, titulada: “El Señor de las Moscas”. Un clásico de la literatura. ¿Estamos en el final de la civilización tal y como la conocemos?¡Muchas gracias por ser parte de esta comunidad!

The first title that springs to mind at the mention of William Golding's name is most often Lord of the Flies. The classic story of a group of schoolboys marooned on a desert island all but made his reputation and has somewhat overshadowed his twelve other novels. Golding was a fascinating and often troubled man, a voracious reader who enjoyed the Odyssey in Greek as well as Georgette Heyer and Jilly Cooper and was an influence on many novelists from Stephen King to Penelope Lively, Ben Okri and Kazuo Ishiguro. Definitely a writer ripe for rediscovery. Now, the Slightly Foxed team sit down with the author's daughter Judy and Golding expert Professor Tim Kendall to discuss the life and work of this brave and highly original writer, whose novels transport the reader to distant but entirely believable worlds. His work grapples with the big questions of existence but his originality as a writer sometimes worked against him, and Lord of the Flies was rejected by seven publishers before it was accepted by Charles Monteith at Faber. It was glowingly reviewed and became a bestseller but, behind the scenes, Golding was struggling with his addiction to alcohol and the fame his writing would bring him. After a poor reception from the critics for several of his following books, including both The Spire and The Pyramid, Golding was thrown into a deep depression. This crisis lasted over ten years, but when he finally returned to writing he went on to produce a series of successful novels – including Rites of Passage, winner of the 1980 Booker Prize. In 1983 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.  The usual round of reading recommendations include South from Granada, Gerald Brenan's recollection of the years he spent in an Andalusian village in the 1920s with visits from the Bloomsbury group; Robert Harris's Precipice, a semi-fictional account of the relationship in 1914 between Prime Minister Asquith, and Venetia Stanley, and Penelope Lively's novel Passing On.

One Christmas night, in the little town of Bedford Falls, a man named George Bailey contemplates throwing away God's greatest gift...but through the prayers of those who love him dearest, George learns that he truly lived a wonderful life. In the meantime, the angel Clarence earns a pair of wings. This Christmas, Sophie and Raymond discuss one of the most beloved Christmas classics of all time, Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life. What makes George Bailey's life wonderful? How do we convince those who are despondent (including ourselves) that life is truly worth living? How is It's a Wonderful Life like the book of Job? Is the idea of angels "earning wings" in Heaven theologically accurate? The answers the Unreliable Narrators come up with may not be what you were expecting, but who said we were reliable?

It's 70 years since William Golding's acclaimed novel was published. Lord of the Flies is the story of a group of English schoolboys marooned on a desert island, and how they survive without adults. It was Golding's first novel, and was praised for tackling questions about human nature and whether people are intrinsically good or evil. The book proved a huge success, and has sold millions of copies around the world. Golding won the Nobel Prize in literature. He died ten years later. His daughter, Judy Carver, spoke to Vincent Dowd, about her father's work, in 2014.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: A scene from the Lord Of The Flies film, 1990.

This week, John Dorney joins us in northern Scotland to investigate the disappearance of the Ninth Legion — only to discover that there are things here even more terrible than the Roman army, things that can only be fought with trust and empathy and music. It's The Eaters of Light. Notes and links Crash (2004) starts with a voiceover by Don Cheadle, laying out the terms of the metaphorical link between car crashes and human interactions generally. It's not a very popular movie, not only because of its superficial approach to issues of race, but also because it won the 2005 Academy Award for Best Picture instead of Brokeback Mountain. Richard mentions American YA fiction writer Scott Westerfield, particularly the Uglies series with its teenage protagonist. He also mentions William Golding's 1954 novel Lord of the Flies, where a group of schoolchildren stranded without adults on a deserted island, quickly revert to savagery. Brian Vernel was born in 1990, so he was 26 or 27 when he played Lucius in this episode, and 32 when he played far-right extremist Curly in the first season of Slow Horses in 2022. Kar's speech about the depredations of the Roman Army is taken from the Agricola by Tacitus, a short biography of his father-in-law, chronicling, among other things his campaigns in northern Britain. Tacitus depicts the Caledonian leader Calgacus making the speech just before the Battle of Mount Graupius, in which his forces were defeated by the Romans. You can read the speech in translation here. This week's monster is based on very common depictions found in Pictish carvings of an animal called the Pictish Beast. Some depictions are found among the carvings seen in this episode. Tania Bell is a companion to the Eighth Doctor, first appearing in Big Finish's Stranded in 2020 — the first transgender companion to appear in Doctor Who. She is played by Rebecca Root. John has written five stories for Tania: her second story Wild Animals, as well as The Long Way Round, What Just Happened?, Best Year Ever and Flatpack (in which she meets Christopher Ecclston's Ninth Doctor). John writes for Michelle Gomez as Missy in Divorced, Beheaded, Regenerated and in Too Many Masters.

MPF Discussion with Alan RhodeBuilding Success Through Setbacks with Alan RhodeAbout AlanAlan was born in Genoa, a chilled out town on the north-west coast of Italy. He spent many years working as a lawyer in the more hectic Milan, before moving to London in 2015. After three failed e-commerce start-ups Alan founded tax and legal consultancy, Taxmen, which as it flourished allowed him time to write. Although Alan did not embark on writing his book until his 40s, he reminds himself he is in good company with very established authors such as Umberto Eco, Isabella Allende and William Golding also starting later in life. Alan is an accomplished speaker who regularly presents and delivers workshops. When he has a spare moment, which is rare, between running his business, writing and spending time with his young family, Alan enjoys watching vintage movies and playing tennis. He juggles a lot but manages it without stress. The word ‘stress' does not belong in Alan's living dictionary as he considers life to be too precious. Alan is currently working on his second book after the completion of his first book, The Eagle and the Cockerel.From lawyer to entrepreneur to published author, Alan Rhode's career path is anything but linear. On this episode of My Perfect Failure, Alan explains why he sees setbacks as crucial steps toward growth. He opens up about his transition from law, the lessons he learned as a rookie entrepreneur, and why ambition always trumps fear for him. Alan's belief that “you have to be brave to inspire” rings through his journey. Tune in to hear how he built his company Taxmen and carved out time to write The Eagle and the Cockerel — and why he's determined to live a life full of diverse experiences and passions.Key Insights:•How ambition outshines the fear of failure.•We discuss Alan's book “The Eagle and the Cockerel.”•The value of starting late and pursuing big dreams.•How setbacks shape a resilient, adaptable mindset.•The power of daydreaming and creating multiple passions.•Strategies to turn lessons learned into lasting success.Social Links to AlanAlan's website: http://alan-rhode.com/Order your copy of: The Eagle and the Cockerel: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eagle-Cockerel-thrilling-political-treachery/dp/1916797415/ref=pd_ci_mcx_mh_mcx_views_0_image?pd_rd_w Subscribe to Alan's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ALANRHODE-gl8vd Please Leave A ReviewLike this show?

In another edition of "shortcut to the classics," P&C drink and review Pigweed's homebrewed IPA, then discuss Lord of the Flies by William Golding. (Starting at 2:55.) Pigweed gives a little biographical background on the author, then the boys delve into the heart of darkness and survival in this compelling short novel. The story takes place on a deserted island, where a group of British boys find themselves stranded following a plane crash. With no adults to guide them, the boys attempt to govern themselves ... with disastrous consequences. "Lord of the Flies" is a compelling exploration of human nature, power dynamics, and the thin veneer of civilization that separates order from chaos. Through the eyes of Ralph, Piggy, Jack, and other vividly drawn characters, Golding poses urgent questions about leadership, morality, and the inherent savagery within us all. As we discuss the novel's themes, symbols, and the development of the characters and their interactions, we invite you to reflect on what "Lord of the Flies" reveals about the complexities of human behavior and how fragile "civilization" really is.
