“Suppose Schopenhauer is right that life boils down to a flight from either boredom or pain. Insofar as the vast material abundance of wealthy, industrialised society has had an analgesic effect (there is simply less physical pain than in the past, before fluoride and anaesthesia and sedentary lives), it would seem to have solved one problem only to amplify the other. In place of pain, we have ennui, the quintessential modern condition. It follows directly from overabundance: an endless stream of video “content” or chocolate cake or edibles or any other indulgence cannot deliver lasting satisfaction. Everything gets old eventually, leaving one to grope around for the next fix.”
This week, Peter Holland treads the boards in Elizabethan London in search of Shakespeare before the Globe; and Muriel Zagha on a captivating tale of cheese-making in the Jura.

Our third Parisian revolution is another explosive night in the theatre, this time in the world of dance. David talks to Dominic Dromgoole about Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, which provoked absolute outrage when it premiered in 1913. Is that what its impresario Diaghilev wanted? How did Nijinsky cope? Did the response foreshadow the trauma to come in 1914? And how did the set designer Roerich end up playing a part in American presidential history?

A Collier problem occurs whenever a new technology requires the technology it nominally replaces to function due to efficiency limits. Steam ships replaced sailing ships, but without windjammers the steamships could not function. This led to worldwide exports, paradoxically with large sailing vessels often transporting the coal needed by steamships, as they were more economical to operate on long oceanic sea routes.
Today’s Parisian revolution is a theatrical performance that produced a riot. David talks to theatre director Dominic Dromgoole about Alfred Jarry’s Ubu Roi (1896), which only ran for a couple of nights but left an indelible mark on the culture of the age and has resonated ever since. Why did a play effectively written by children provoke such a storm among the adults? What made it it blow the mind of W. B. Yeats who was in the audience? How can something so bad be so liberating?
Este episódio mergulha no universo das apostas esportivas e tenta entender o fenômeno das bets no Brasil.
As bets foram eleitas pela opinião pública como as grandes vilãs do Brasil. De acordo com o Banco Central, beneficiários do Bolsa Família depositaram R$3 bilhões em casas de apostas somente em agosto de 2024. Foram 5 milhões de pessoas apostando, 10% das mais de 50 milhões beneficiadas pelo programa.
Os números são alarmantes, e, ao menos desde 2018, as casas de aposta vêm ganhando muito dinheiro dentro do nosso país. Apesar disso, a discussão sobre o mercado de apostas no Congresso e na sociedade civil pouco avançou desde 2018, quando as apostas foram legalizadas em território nacional.
Se 80% dos apostadores ficam no prejuízo, por que tantos seguem apostando? Como o Brasil, de acordo com pesquisa da H2 Gambling Capital, se tornou o sétimo maior mercado de apostas no planeta?
Neste episódio de podcast, fazemos um mergulho no universo das apostas esportivas, e buscamos entender o porquê de os humanos se interessarem por apostas.
Doutorando em educação física pela Universidade de Brasília (UNB). Autor do artigo “Em busca de mais excitação: reflexões acerca das apostas esportivas”.
Tem dias em que a cidade parece estar suando por dentro. O asfalto ferve, o corpo responde, e a música que toca na rua não é trilha sonora - é termômetro. "Aquitaquente", a nova faixa do Barbarize, nasce dessa temperatura, desse colapso entre calor e urgência, entre festa e revolta.

Today’s episode is the first of three this week with the theatre director and writer Dominic Dromgoole, exploring revolutionary events in the world of art and theatre, starting with the opening of the Salon des Refusés in Paris in May 1863. How did the Emperor Napoleon end up sponsoring such a counter-cultural event? Why did it provoke such public outrage and astonishment? And in what ways did Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe revolutionise what was possible in the creation and consumption of modern art?

In this video, I’m making two folding pocket knives from scrap — one from an old hacksaw blade and one from a worn-out file. The first one is super easy and perfect if you’ve never made a folding knife before. You don’t need any fancy tools, and you can knock it out in an afternoon.
This is the kind of knife you’ll actually use in the workshop — small, handy, and built from stuff you probably already have lying around.
Check out https://wazer.com for more info on this amazing machine.
The template for the knife can be downloaded here https://paskmakes.com/free-plans/

O psicólogo Alexandre Coimbra Amaral fala sobre saúde mental, desigualdade e o impacto do caos global na vida cotidiana
O cotidiano da população brasileira é marcado por desigualdades sociais, precarização do trabalho, violência urbana e até mesmo pela insegurança alimentar. A isso se somam as incertezas globais, como as mudanças climáticas, que ameaçam a vida no planeta. Como consequência, vemos uma sociedade ansiosa, marcada pelo medo e pela exaustão.
De acordo com dados da Our World in Data, o Brasil lidera o ranking mundial de países com mais casos de transtorno de ansiedade, em um cenário que piorou após a pandemia. Para discutir as raízes sociais da ansiedade e os possíveis caminhos de cuidado coletivo e acolhimento da saúde mental, o Pauta Pública da semana recebe o psicólogo, escritor e podcaster Alexandre Coimbra Amaral. Autor do livro Toda Ansiedade Merece um Abraço.

Este episódio do 451 MHz traz um raro registro do grande pensador quilombola Antônio Bispo dos Santos, o Nego Bispo, morto em 2023. Numa conversa com a pesquisadora e colunista da Quatro Cinco Um Bianca Tavolari ocorrida n'A Feira do Livro, ele discute ideias presentes em seu "A terra dá, a terra quer" (Ubu e Piseagrama), livro que introduz o conceito de contracolonialismo. Bispo também fala sobre a cosmologia quilombola e a urgência de repensarmos a forma como nos relacionamos com a natureza e os outros seres.

Today the first of four episodes about Parisian revolutions. We start with the definitive nineteenth-century revolutionary and his definitive revolution: David talks to historian Bruno Leipold about why Karl Marx thought the Paris Commune in 1871 was the model of a workers' uprising and provided a vision of the socialist future. How had the Communards reinvented democracy? Was this a social, an economic or a political revolution? And how did Marx reconcile himself to its bloody failure?
