The trouble for Netball NZ is they claim to have a plan. The reality, of course, is we may or may not ever know what happened to the previous plan – the Williams-Mowbray plan. That plan looked set to go. Most of us didn't have a clue what was in it, nor do we care. But we know the names Mowbray and Williams. We know they have lots of money. We probably knew they were in it for the right reasons. We also knew Netball NZ is a mess, and the sport is in dire straits. So at that point, we most likely concluded there was a bit of hope. Until there wasn't, which was Friday's news. What didn't help on Friday was the seeming surprise from Williams, who apparently didn't see anything coming. Then on Friday night I watched netballers crying, as well they might. Personally, I would have cried before that, and for all I know some have. Because as an elite player I would have buggered off months back, probably when they shafted Noeline, who by anyone's measure is the G.O.A.T. The way she was treated defied belief. Anyway,…

POE.docx1001 CLASSIC SHORT STORIES & TALES THE MAN OF THE CROWD by Edgar Allan Poe There are some people we can understand at a glance. And then there are those who remain an absolute mystery. In THE MAN OF THE CROWD, Edgar Allan Poe takes us onto the crowded streets of London, where an unnamed narrator sits watching the endless procession of humanity outside a coffeehouse. Then one peculiar old man catches his attention. There is something about the stranger he cannot explain, something that compels him to leave his seat and follow the man through the city streets, deeper into the night and deeper into mystery. [interestin...rature.com], [litcharts.com] First published in 1840, THE MAN OF THE CROWD is vintage Poe, but not quite the Poe of haunted houses and premature burials. This is psychological suspense, exploring curiosity, obsession, anonymity, secrets, and the unsettling realization that another human being may ultimately be unknowable.

What do goddesses of love have in common with goddesses of war? Historian Ronald Hutton argues that some of the ancient world’s most powerful female deities were united by a potent combination of sex, violence and ecstatic experience. Speaking to Danny Bird, Hutton traces a lineage from the Sumerian goddess Inanna through Ishtar, Aphrodite and Venus, all the way to the Norse Freyja and the Irish Morrigan. Along the way, they discuss why the Greeks were terrified of love, how Christianity tried to erase pagan goddesses, and why these extraordinary figures are enjoying a revival in the modern world.

Orson Welles was only 25 when his film Citizen Kane was released in 1941. It is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, films yet made. Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Welles' film, in which he plays the lead role of Charles Foster Kane, a newspaper magnate. It was his first acting role. He also directed, produced and co-wrote this story of loneliness at the heart of a megalomaniac. The production was influenced by Welles’ experience in radio and theatre, and expressed the potential of cinema as an artistic medium with its use of deep focus, long takes and other techniques. The plot was partly inspired by the life of William Randolph Hearst, who then used the power of his own newspapers to try to suppress the film’s release.

Ada Lovelace, the daughter of the notorious poet Lord Byron, did not follow in her father’s literary footsteps. Instead, she is remembered today as a trailblazer for women in science. At a time when women's access to education was limited, she was able to use her wealth and title to connect with the greatest scientific minds of her day. But as well as possessing an impressive intellect, Ada Lovelace lived an unusual life, experiencing her fair share of scandal, heartbreak and near ruin. So how did the circumstances of her parentage and upbringing shape her character? How was she able to pursue her scientific ambitions, despite society’s constraints? And how did her fascination with mathematics lead her to financial disaster? This is a Short History Of Ada Lovelace. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Dr Corin Throsby, a writer, broadcaster, and expert in Romantic literature who teaches at the University of Cambridge. Written by Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow | Produced by Kate…
