A powerful portrait of war and retribution. A beautiful story of love and forgiveness.

"Words are power. They can bring you down, lift you up, make your heart soar, make you fall in love. Or make you hate."

Paris 1944. Elise Chevalier knows what it is to love…and to hate. Her fiancé, a young French soldier, was killed by the German army at the Maginot Line. Living amongst the enemy, Elise must keep her rage buried deep within.

Sebastian Kleinhaus no longer recognizes himself. Forced to join the Third Reich and wear a uniform he despises, he longs for a way out. For someone, anyone, to be his salvation.

Brittany 1963. Reaching for the suitcase under her mother’s bed, eighteen-year-old Josephine Chevalier uncovers a secret that shakes her to the core. Determined to find the truth, she travels to Paris where she learns the story of a forbidden love as a city fought for its freedom. Of the last stolen hours before the first light of liberation. And of a betrayal so deep that it would irrevocably change the course of two young lives life forever.

The Last Hours In Paris by Ruth Druart Read by Daphne Kouma, Jess Nesling, and Ben Jacobsen - Audio

Vivons heureux avant la fin du monde (15) : Mince, une injonction !
C’est comme un murmure au fond du cerveau. Des pensées parasites permanentes. Au sujet du ventre (est-ce qu’on va voir mon bourrelet avec ce t-shirt ?), des fesses (pourquoi j’ai repris du gratin dauphinois ?) ou des cuisses (ce petit paréo sera parfait pour cacher ma culotte de cheval). En effet, ça ne vole pas très haut, et on est au courant qu’il y a mieux à faire que de surveiller ses kilos. Mais le fait est que ça nous pourrit la vie, surtout si on est une femme. Les psychologues appellent ça l’anxiété corporelle : une forme de haine de soi chevillée à la cellulite et qui condamne à manger des endives. 
D’où vient cette tyrannie de la minceur ?  Pourquoi intériorise-t-on si docilement la règle sociale qui fait de la minceur une condition sine qua non de la beauté ? Alors qu’elle rend tout le monde malheureux, et provoque de graves troubles du comportement alimentaire chez 5% des adolescentes ? Et surtout, comment s’en libérer ? 

Pour ce dernier épisode avant la plage , Delphine Saltel sonde les méandres de notre rapport au corps et l’obsession contemporaine pour la taille 38. Désespérée de voir sa fille stresser sur son poids à même pas 12 ans et demi, elle part à Poitiers consulter deux chercheurs en psychologie sociale qui étudient les mécanismes de la comparaison sociale, l’exposition passive aux normes de minceur et leur impact sur la psyché féminine.  Elle croise le récit d’Eloïse, une jeune femme fascinée par l’élection de Miss France et touchée par l’anorexie, avec celui de la réalisatrice féministe Ovidie. Une plongée dans le bain culturel qui abreuve nos posts Instagram et nos imaginaires conditionnés. Car il est urgent de dégraisser nos méconnaissances, et de faire fondre les injonctions au summer body

Vivons heureux avant la fin du monde
Comment s’habiller, échanger, voyager, s’aimer dans les années 20 ? Pour se bricoler une morale minimale en des temps de crises sociale, écologique et sanitaire, Delphine Saltel (Que sont-ils devenus ?, Y'a deux écoles) explore chaque mois nos incohérences et les solutions possibles. Mêlant questionnement personnel, tribulations domestiques, reportages et entretiens avec des chercheurs et des activistes, ce nouveau podcast veut alerter, éveiller et rassurer sur un autre monde possible.

"A lush debut; Owens delivers her mystery wrapped in gorgeous, lyrical prose." --Alexandra Fuller, author of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight How long can you protect your heart? For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens. Perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Karen Russell, Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, read by Cassandra Campbell

Hall Of The Slain

They called the fight “Bad Blood.” It was a marketing angle that wrote itself. In 2002, Oscar De La Hoya and Fernando Vargas met in a clash of Mexican-American U.S. Olympians from southern California, bringing the two biggest draws at 154 pounds together for a monster pay-per-view event that was powered by a bitter grudge.

In a special edition of the HBO Boxing Podcast, Eric Raskin speaks to De La Hoya, Vargas, and numerous insiders who were at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas that night and lets them tell the story of a modern classic, a showdown in which scores were settled and blood was spilled.

For the end-of-year holiday episode of the Data Show, I turned the tables on Data Show host Ben Lorica to talk about trends in big data, machine learning, and AI, and what to look for in 2019. Lorica also showcased some highlights from our upcoming Strata Data and Artificial Intelligence conferences.

O'Reilly Media spreads the knowledge of innovators. At O’Reilly, a big part of our business is paying attention to what’s new and interesting in the world of technology. We have a pretty good record at having anticipated some of the big technology developments in recent history. For instance, we launched the first commercial Web site, GNN, in 1993; we organized the meeting at which the term “open source” was first adopted; we were early investors in Blogger, which helped launch the blogging revolution; and more recently, our Web 2.0 conference launched a world-wide meme. We call this predictive sense the “O’Reilly Radar.” And while we’re certainly not always right, we are, at least, good at making interesting guesses.

Our methodology is simple: we draw from the wisdom of the alpha geeks in our midst, paying attention to what’s interesting to them, amplifying these weak signals, and seeing where they fit into the innovation ecology. Add to that the original research conducted by our Research team, and you start to get a good picture of what the technology world is thinking about.
