The Wise Guys PodcastI Never Knew YouThese are unsettling words from Jesus. At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warns us not to fall into self-deception.

Nākotnes pieturaLatvijas Neatkarības svētku viesis Valsts prezidents Egils LevitsNe tikai rudens lapu zeltā krāsotais novembris, arī ķiršu un ievu ziedu baltumā šķīstītais maijs Latvijai ir nozīmīgs mēnesis. Tieši ar maiju, kad svinam divus mūsu valstij svarīgus datumus - Satversemes sapulces sasaukšanas dienu 1. maijā un Neatkarības atjaunošanas svētkus 4. maijā „Nākotnes pieturas” viesim ir īpašas attiecības. Turklāt droši vien visā pasaulē nemaz nav tik daudz tādu valstu, kuras var lepoties, ka tās prezidents savu roku pielicis pie divu valstij svarīgāko dokumentu tapšanas – Satversmes (jeb Konstitūcijas) papildinājuma un Neatkarības atjaunošanas deklarācij...2023-05-0430 min
Ráno Nahlas 🎙Henčeková: Definícia manželstva do Ústavy vôbec nepatrí. Možno je čas, aby sme nanovo otvorili otázku našej identity a toho, kto sme a kam smerujeme. Možno je načase napísať novú Ústavu. Hovorí právnička a kandidátka za OKS (na kandidátke SaS) Slavomíra Henčeková. Definícia manželstva podľa nej do Ústavy vôbec nepatrí a na diskusiu je aj preambula s Cyrilometodským duchovným dedičstvom, ktoré ani nemá žiadnu právnu váhu. Právnym štátom sme dnes len do určitej miery. Rovnako tak sme spravodlivým štátom len do určitej miery. Hovorí po vyše t...2023-04-1337 min
OLEJ W GŁOWIEJak z perspektywy czasu wypadały strajki (kobiet)? Formowanie własnego mocnego zdania oraz filozofia milczenia. Media i pyta. Kartezjusz i Hemingway.Odcinek piekielnie dobrze mi się nagrywało, oby w odbiorze wypadł równie świetnie. W razie pewnych nieporozumień proszę o kontakt - wyjaśnimy, jeśli się z czymś nie zgadzacie albo nie do końca zrozumieliście intencje z którymi mówiłem. Analizowałem z perspektywy czasu medialny rozgłos z kanału Pyta, w kontekście strajków, manifestacji i marszów. Wkradło się pełno dygresji na tematy dojrzałości, filozoficzne, praktyczne i generalnie dość rzadko podejmowane w tak czystej formie w mediach.
Potrzeba dwóch lat, aby nauczyć się mówić; pięćdziesięciu, aby naucz...2022-12-1024 min

Audioknihy pre každého1. Vyznanie viery CB - Preambula, O zjaveníStručným Vyznaním viery, jeho komentárom a etickými zásadami vyjadruje Cirkev bratská svoje porozumenie svätému Písmu v nadväznosti na tradíciu otcov a na celé svedectvo cirkvi od raného kresťanstva. Aktualizované Vyznanie viery je súčasťou Ústavy Cirkvi bratskej1 a má slúžiť k vymedzeniu vieroučného priestoru, v ktorom sa ako kresťania chceme pohybovať. Uvedomujeme si, že Bohom zjavenú pravdu poznávame iba čiastočne (1Kor 13:9a). Preto sme presvedčení, že sa cirkev musí snažiť nanovo vyjadriť a formulovať to, čomu verí a čo chce dosvedčovať svojou službou. Máme...2022-02-0108 min

Podcasty RzeczpospolitejGłosowanie w Senacie. PO potknęła się o własne nogiW czwartkowym głosowaniu w Senacie ustawa ratyfikacyjna związana z wdrożeniem Funduszu Odbudowy UE przeszła bez poprawek. Zaproponowana przez senatorów opozycji preambuła miała zapewnić kontrolę nad wydatkowaniem unijnych pieniędzy. Jeden z senatorów KO przez pomyłkę zagłosował przeciwko, drugi nie zagłosował w ogóle. - Nie pomoże to Platformie w budowie przekonania, że jest partią zdolną rządzić ponownie – mówią Michał Kolanko i Michał Szułdrzyński w cotygodniowym podsumowaniu wydarzeń politycznych.
