    Belle Burden on 'Strangers,' her divorce, and financial literacy for women

    During the second week of the Covid lockdown, Belle Burden’s husband ended their 20-year marriage and became “someone [she] did not recognize.” Their divorce and the affair that prompted it came as a shock to Burden, who says she had been happily married, enjoying “cozy” time with their family in Martha’s Vineyard. She recounts her story in Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage, which is now in its ninth printing and will be developed into a Netflix film starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In today’s episode, Burden speaks with NPR’s Juana Summers about the details of her divorce, the memoir’s smash success, and the importance of financial literacy for women, even those in happy relationships.

    E2 - Why Romance Needs to Come Back | with Hak Baker

    What if romance wasn't just about falling in love? In this conversation of the Wodcast, musician, songwriter and poet Hak Baker joins Benjamin Aston and Mabel Evans for a wide-ranging exploration of romance, brotherhood, community and the courage it takes to change. Together they discuss the forgotten meaning of romance, why transformation is rarely a solitary act, and the idea of slaying the dragon within - the lifelong battle to confront our fears, ego and destructive patterns. Through stories of growing up in East London, finding his voice through music, and building communities rooted in care, Hak reflects on how real change begins not only within ourselves, but in the people who walk alongside us. In a world that often celebrates independence above all else, Hak offers a different vision: one where friendship, creativity and shared responsibility become the foundations for a more hopeful future. This episode is an invitation to rediscover romance, not as an ideal, but as a way of living, creating and changing together. ───── Topics include: The forgotten meaning of romance Brotherhood and community Slaying the dragon within Personal and collective transformation Music, creativity and storytelling Growing up in East London Friendship, belonging and resilience The power of human connection ───── Thank you to our sponsor: Trunk Clothiers https://www.trunkclothiers.com/ ───── More from the Wodcast: ➟ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/wod.cast/ ➟ Apple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wodcast/id1896893830 ➟ YouTube – https://youtube.com/@wodcast_channel?si=sQbEXy6-mO6lOLvB ➟ Substack – https://wodcast.substack.com/ ➟ Website – https://wodcast.co.uk/ ───── Next Wednesday at 7pm GMT Benjamin and Mabel will go live on Substack for 30 minutes to reflect on the episode, and share some writing prompts using Haks ‘weight- baring’ words.

    010 - Chapter 9

    Dive into the captivating world of *The Great Gatsby*, where a vibrant cast of characters navigates the opulence and moral decay of the fictional town of West Egg on Long Island during the summer of 1922. At the heart of the tale is the enigmatic millionaire Jay Gatsby, whose relentless pursuit of the beautiful Daisy Buchanan encapsulates the essence of longing and desire. F. Scott Fitzgeralds magnum opus delves into profound themes such as decadence, idealism, social change, and the excesses of the Jazz Age, presenting a poignant cautionary tale about the American Dream. Initially published by Scribner’s in April 1925, the novel faced a rocky start with mixed reviews and modest sales. Fitzgerald, who passed away in 1940 feeling overlooked, would be surprised to see his work, especially *The Great Gatsby*, rise to prominence during World War II and become a staple in American high school literature classes. This timeless classic continues to resonate, inspiring countless adaptations in theater and film, solidifying its place as one of the greatest works of American literature. This recording was originally published on Legamus.eu and later made available on Librivox as copyright laws allowed. - Summary by Wikipedia and Martin Reyto

    implacable

    Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 13, 2026 is: implacable • \im-PLAK-uh-bul\  • adjective Someone or something described as implacable is not capable of being appeased or changed. // The project faced implacable resistance from community members, and is now off the table. See the entry > Examples: “Unlike, say, the globetrotting stories of Ian Fleming or John le Carré, in which victories only temporarily frustrate an implacable foe, [Agatha] Christie’s smaller worlds feel put right when the cover closes or credits roll.” — The Economist, 17 Jan. 2026 Did you know? Implacable is rooted in the Latin verb placare, meaning “to soothe,” but its im- prefix is a variant of the negating prefix in- (as in inactive) and it signals that there’s nothing warm and fuzzy here. Someone or something described as implacable cannot be soothed, which usually means trouble: implacable is most often attached to words like foe, enemy, hatred and hostility. The opposite of implacable is, of course, placable; it means “easily soothed,” but sadly isn’t called upon very often. Another placare word is likely more familiar. Placate means “to soothe or appease”; it’s frequently applied when an angry person is made to feel less so.
