The Power of Validation with Meg TiltonWe all have had those moments in our lives when we have needed someone to listen to an experience we have had, hear it, and simply validate the way we are feeling. When someone does it properly, it allows us to calm down, draw closer to the person validating, as well as draw closer to ourselves. The problem is that finding someone who can do that for us is often difficult. Many times other's don't know how to validate or they are in a mode of trying to "fix" our problems instead of just hearing them. Meg T...

Latter-day Life Coaches154. Lessons from the Stripling Warriors' Mothers with Heidi AllsopIf you are a mother there's no doubt you have often felt like you are floundering and that the ground you stand on is shaky. Raising kids is not for the faint of heart. While the scriptures do not give much direction on how to be a mother there is one verse in the Book of Mormon that speaks volumes about mothering. Coach Heidi Allsop is on the podcast today talking about the profound impact the Stripling Warriors' mothers had on them simply by knowing. But what did they know? Come and listen as Heidi reveals the answer to...

Latter-day Life Coaches153. Positive Self-Talk with Michelle KeilOur main form of communication is through language - spoken, written, and thought. We live in a world full of language and much of it is negative. Is it any wonder that if we so willingly speak to each other negatively that the source may actually stem from how we speak to ourselves? Coach Michelle Keill is on the podcast today talking about how the way we speak to ourselves not only impacts us, but all the relationships we have in our lives. If we want to see better external talk, then we need to start talking better to...

Latter-day Life Coaches152. Becoming the Love of Your Life with Amber WinnWe live in a world that talks about love a lot, but far too often we are looking for that love outside of ourselves. But the truth is, the greatest and fastest way to put love out in the world is to actually already have it within yourself. The greatest love you can give to another is loving none other than yourself. Coach Amber Winn is on the podcast today talking about how each of us should become the loves of our own lives and when we do, we will automatically spread that love to others. Amber is passionate...

Some goals are big and some are small but no matter the size, all goals need certain ingredients to make sure they are accomplished. Coach Lisa Salisbury is no stranger to goal setting as she is a weight loss coach and her clients come to her with the goal to lose weight but what they leave with is so much more. Lisa is on the podcast today talking about how all goals have a sweet spot to accomplishment that lies between too hard and too easy, how planning...

Radio RackhamKlassiker: Richard Corbens DENRichard Corbens DEN (1973-78) er en af tegneseriens mest fladpandede mesterværker, testosterontpumpet exces featuring tegneseriehistoriens mest mindeværdige lem.
Efter mange år ude af tryk, er DEN nu blevet genudgivet, restaureret efter alle kunstens regler af José Villarubia, ikke blot på originalsproget, men også på dansk. Radio Rackham kigger nærmere på denne sværd- og troldomsskrøne med dens barmfagre femmes fatale, fæle monstre og virile muskelbundt af en helt.

The 3rd Great Commandment with Heather ShulerWe often refer to the first and second great commandments to love God and love our neighbor but all too often forget what coach Heather Shuler calls the third commandment and that is to love ourselves. In today's podcast Heather discusses the importance of loving ourselves and how when we tap into our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and have Them teach us our true worth and potential. Many think that loving ourselves is a prideful thing but as Heather so beautifully states on this podcast, "We need love of self in order to unlock the potential of the...

Radio RackhamFokus: Mainstream-mangaFOKUS Manga er atter ‘mainstream’, og muligvis den sidste mainstream tegneseriemediet kan smykke sig med. Hver syvende solgte bog i Frankrig er en manga-pocketbog, og den nordamerikanske tegneserieindustri er massivt domineret af manga. De fleste store hits læses ellers gratis, enten som legitime freebies eller bare som piratprodukter. Manga og dens levende billeder-tvilling anime fanoversættes og -tekstes nemlig lynhurtigt i den vestlige verden. Hvilket tilsyneladende er en del af formens ekspansive kommercielle strategi, ikke en trussel.
Radio Rackham stiller skarpt på nogle af tidens allerstørste shonen-mangaer (mangaer til drenge, men reelt med en mere divers læserskare) : Eiichiros...

Latter-day Life Coaches105. The Blessings of Partnering With Our Heavenly Parents With Heather RackhamWhen it comes to coaching there can be a lot of growth, mind stretching, and emotional maturing that takes place as old beliefs are questioned and replaced with new ones that create different results. We can definitely do a lot of cognitive growing on our own, but partnering with our Heavenly Parents is how we can do it so that our results are greater than we could ever imagine. The unique perspective of all the coaches here on the Latter-day Life Coaches Podcast is that we can take all the tools of life coaching and filter them...

Radio RackhamKlassiker: Den hermetiske garageKLASSIKER Det er intet mindre end tegneseriens hellige gral som er fokus for dette afsnit om Moebius’ ‘Den hermetiske garage’, der blev publiceret episodisk fra 1976-1978 i Metal Hurlant. ‘Garagen’ er kulminationen på hans ‘masturbatoriske periode’ og er en visuel udladning uden sidestykke, der regnes for hans hovedværk og som er uomgængelig hvis man interesserer sig for tegneserier og visuel kultur.
Hvad er det der gør, at den fyrre år efter udgivelsen bliver ved med at fascinere og drage læsere? Hvad er det helt særlige Moebius kunne og som stadig inspirerer ti år efter hans død? Hvilken betydning...

Radio RackhamPortræt: Julie DoucetCanadiske Julie Doucet vandt for nylig Grand Prix i Angoulême, almindeligvis betragtet som den største udmærkelse i den vestlige tegneseriekultur, og det synes Radio Rackham var umådeligt velfortjent. Sammen med Politiken-kritiker og tidligere Pingpris-høvding Ida Dybdahl ser vi på Doucets lille, men meget betydningsfulde karriere som tegneserietegner.
Julie Doucet er en central pioner indenfor den autofiktive tegneserie, en genre, der som bekendt fortsat dominerer graphic novel-bølgen. Hun startede med selvpublicerede zines med titlen Dirty Plotte (1987-91), hvor hun hurtigt og selvsikkert udviklede grundelementerne i sit værk. Sit egentlige gennembrud fik hun, da hun lancered...

Radio RackhamAnmeldelse: Javel, Hr. udenrigsministerI anledning af det franske valg kigger vi nærmere på tegneserien “Javel, Hr. udenrigsminister” af pseudonymet Abel Lanzac og mestertegner Christophe Blain. Samtalen afslører dybe uenigheder i Radio Rackhams studie!
Lanzac hedder i øvrigt i virkeligheden Antonin Baudry og arbejdede som taleskriver for udenrigsminister Dominique de Villepin i de skæbnesvangre år op til invasionen af Irak. “Javel, Hr. udenrigsminister” - oprindeligt udsendt 2010-11, bl. a præmieret med prisen for bedste tegneserie på festivalen i Angoulême i 2012 og nu udgivet på dansk @forlaget_fahrenheit - er hans nøgleroman om den tid.

Latter-day Life Coaches66. Lovability with Heather Rackham and Amber WilliamsWe live in a world that likes to quantify things and place value on how much something is worth. We are constantly determining the worth and value of everything in our life. We do it with activities and events by weighing them against the value of our time. We do it with clothes, cars, and houses against the money we think they are really worth. Since we engage in placing value on so many things in our lives it can be easy to also start placing value and worth on ourselves as well as others. It is easy to p...

Radio RackhamAnalyse: Dan Clowes - CaricatureRadio Rackham introducerer tegneserieanalyse i podcastform! I vores første forsøg kaster vi analyseapparatet efter Dan Clowes’ mesterlige tegneserienovelle ‘Caricature’,oprindeligt udgivet i Eightball nummer 15 (1995), og vi har tilkaldt ekspertbistand fra Andreas Gregersen. Andreas er til daglig lektor på Film- og medievidenskab på Københavns Universitet, og er tillige rackhamit fra Rackhams tidlige år, hvor han blandt andet bidrog med et essay om Dan Clowes.
Det er ikke et must at lytteren selv har læst ‘Caricature’, en historie på kun 16 sider, men det øger sandsynligvis lytteroplevelsens kvalitet at have adgang til tegneserien undervejs i udsendelsen. Vi analyserer den på kryds og tværs a...

Radio RackhamFokus: Krig i tegneserierFOKUS Der er krig i Europa, og pludselig føles podcasts om tegneserier uendeligt meningsløst. Men kan tegneserier alligevel på nogen måde bidrage bare med et eller andet? Radio Rackham har støvsuget tegneseriehistorien for krigstegneserier og fundet tre mesterværker, der på meget forskellige måder forholder sig til krigens væsen og den menneskelige undtagelsestilstand. Vi udpeger de egenskaber og eksistentielle rum som henholdsvis Raymond Briggs’ ‘Når vinden blæser’, Jacques Tardis ‘Skyttegravskrigen’ og Keiji Nakazawas ‘Barefoot Gen’ tilbyder og undersøger om der findes trøst, håb eller bare lidt perspektiv i tegneseriehistorien.

Radio RackhamFokus: The Batman20'ernes Batman blev i sidste uge præsenteret for verdenen, da Matt Reeves lange og længe ventede The Batman fik premiere overalt, undtagen Rusland. Dermed har næsten hvert årti siden 60’erne haft sin Batman-fortolkning på det hvide lærred, en lang og massiv populærkulturel fascination.
Radio Rackham gæstes i den anledning af Troldspejlets Christopher Leo, som muligvis blev født den dag, Tim Burtons Batman fik premiere i 1989, og har siden været mere fascineret af Batman end nogen anden superhelt. Sammen med Christopher tegner vi et kludetæppe af af alle de stumper og stykker, den nye The B...

Radio RackhamKlassiker: MausDet blev en international nyhedshistorie, da Art Spiegelmans Maus for et par uger siden blev strøget af pensumlisten og fjernet fra skolebibliotekerne i McMinn County, Tennesse. Historien fik markante konsekvenser, da Whoopi Goldberg øjeblikket efter blev suspenderet fra det store amerikanske debatshow ‘The View’ for i debatten om Maus at sige, at Holocaust ikke var et raceanliggende (og undskyldte i flere omgange). Maus nød godt af virakken og røg ind på Amazons boghitlistes førsteplads og i Danmark ryddede DR2s Deadline en hel udsendelse til rent Maus-fokus.
Radio Rackham byder i den anledning på et dobbeltperspektiv – først diskute...

Frederik Storm, Thomas Thorhauge og Matthias Wivel krydser Rumtiden i deres analyse af karrieren og værket. De når rundt om alle de klassiske albums og diskuterer hvad der gjorde Mézières til så fantastisk en billedfortæller og Linda og Valentin til en klassiker.

Dertil kommer diskussioner af pandemiens betydning og nogle af de store nyhedshistorier, såvel som mere overordnede tendenser på markedet og indenfor kunstformen.
Vi ser på skildringer af indre og ydre kriser, på aktivisme i tegneserier, på undergrund og mainstream og den meget flydende grænse derimellem. Nåja, og så vurderer vi om Frank Miller er feminist.

Latter-day Life Coaches52. Story vs. Fact with Heather Rackham and Kendra HuffmanIn its simplest form, life is broken down into two categories - stories and facts. Facts are simply the things that occur in our lives. They are usually out of our control and something that everyone around us would agree on as having happened or not happened. Stories are created by us and are created by our thoughts about the facts. One person's story of a set of facts can be very different from another person's story. It's not that the facts have changed but the story each individual is telling themselves is what has changed. Why is...

I studiet er Sabine Lemire og Kathrine Pachniuk med til at hjælpe Radio Rackham og lytterne ind i fænomenet, som især i USA har forandret den kommercielle tegneseries landskab betydeligt.

But life also seems to have a way of making sure we also feel joy and happiness. The existence of seemingly polar opposites is how our Heavenly Father designed this life to be. When we embrace the "opposition in all things" is when we embrace the full human experience. Today, Heather along with coach Leah Davidson...

Tegneserien med den dobbelte originaltitel La Cité des eaux mouvantes og Terres en flammes blev undfanget i 1968. Den gik det følgende års tid i tidsskriftet Pilote, hvorefter den blev samlet i albumform i 1970.

Hun er nu aktuel med en stor tegneserie om… fitness?
Den hedder The Secret to Superhuman Strength og handler selvfølgelig om langt mere end det. Igen er der tale om selvbiografi, men fortalt gennem et langt livs besættelse af fysisk træning. Med grundlag i tidernes skiftende fitness-trends, såvel som de spejlinger i tidligere tiders litteratur og litterære skikkelser, vi kender fra hende...

Radio RackhamFokus: Charlie HebdoOm morgenen den 7 januar 2015 trængte to maskerede jihadister ind på redaktionslokalerne hos satiremagasinet Charlie Hebdo i Paris. De myrdede 12 og sårede ligeså mange. Det blev det foreløbige nulpunkt i den såkaldte Muhammedkrise, i hvilken Charlie har ageret en central spiller siden de i 2006 publicerede Jyllands-Postens tolv tegninger.
Tegneren Luz, som havde sovet over sig og derfor overlevede, tegnede den følgende uge den uudgrundelige forside til “overlever”-nummeret af Charlie, der gik verden rundt.

Hvad er det den kan? Hvorfor er den så forkætret? Er den det indbegreb af vestens fjendskab overfor muslimer, den i manges øjne er bleve til? Det symbol på ytringsfrihed, den fremstår som for så mange andre? Begge dele? Andet og mere?

Radio Rackham læser hans intense, desillusionerede og dybt rørende klassiker og overvejer spørgsmålet.
Umezu (f. 1936) er en af den moderne japanske skræktegneseries fædre og en af kunstformens store orignaler. The Drifting Classroom (Hyōryū Kyōshitsu) er historien om en skole med 862 elever, der pludselig forsvinder og dukker op i en fremdtid, hvor alt omkring den er b...

I anledning af den nylige danske genudgivelse af Eisners klassiker, læser Radio Rackhams Henry Sørensen, Frederik Storm, Matthias Wivel og Thomas Thorhauge dens fire stærke tegneserienoveller.

Radio RackhamAnmeldelse: Riad SattoufRadio Rackham diskuterer hvorfor 'Fremtidens araber' af fransk-syriske Riad Sattouf både er bestseller og kontroversiel og hvorfor det er den vigtigste oversatte tegneserie på det danske marked lige nu.
Med udgangspunkt i det i Danmark nys udkomne bind, diskuterer Matthias Wivel, Thomas Thorhauge og Frederik Storm Sattoufs store erindringsfortælling om en barndom mellem især Frankrig og Syrien, om kulturel splittelse og om nationalisme og ideologi som identitetsbærende, og nedbrydende faktorer. Det er et vodlsomt, grænsende til udforsonligt, men samtidig også stilfærdigt nuanceret og i sidste ende tragisk portræt af en arabisk far, der fuld af i...

Radio RackhamNekrolog: Richard CorbenRadio Rackham har besøg af PETER SNEJBJERG og MÅRDØN SMET i anledning af den legendariske gyser- og undergrundstegner Richard Corbens død for få måneder siden.
Richard Corbens univers og visuelle udtryk er vævet uadskilleligt sammen og er intenst genkendeligt på lang afstand. Særligt de markant airbrushede svulmende kropsformer på voluptiøse kvinder og muskelpumpede mænd med sitrende blodårer i yderste hudlag er kvintessentiel Richard Corben, men hvad byder værket ellers på?
Radio Rackham har to engagerede eksperter i studiet, der har fulgt Richard Corbens karriere gennem det meste af deres liv: det er de...

Radio RackhamInterview: Stinestregen og Line JensenRadio Rackham har to af tidens førende SoMe-tegnere i studiet, Line Jensen og Stine Spedsbjerg, og forsøger at undersøge om online tegneserier med høj følger-interaktion er fremtidens tegneserier.
Den store tegneseriemainstream er en skygge af sig selv. Oplag på selv supertitler som X-Men i USA, Lucky Luke i det fransktalende Europa og herhjemme er med årene blevet ufatteligt meget mindre siden formens peak i 1980erne.
Den episke tegneserie, eller den med lange historier, har det svært blandt andet fordi den trods tablets og apps som Comixology aldrig helt har fundet sig til rette i digitale...

Radio RackhamPortræt: Robert CrumbRadio Rackham stiller skarpt på den måske største nulevende tegneseriekunstner, amerikanske Robert Crumb (f. 1943) -- manden der måske mere end nogen anden i tresserne konsoliderede tegneserien som personlig udtryksform. Karrieren er lang og varieret, manden har været hædret og forkætret og hans tegneserier konsekvent delt vandene.
Dette ikke mindst i dag, hvor identitetspolitiske strømninger på især venstrefløjen har bragt hans ofte grænseoverskridende arbejde op til fornyet diskussion, samtidig med at en ny generation af tegnere i stigende grad sætter spørgsmåltegn ved hans fremtrædende status som pioner og forbillede.

Radio RackhamNekrolog: MF DOOMREMEMBER ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SPELL THE MAN NAME. På Halloween sidste år døde MF DOOM, government name Daniel Dumile, i en alder af 49. Det annoncerede hans enke kort før nytår. Han var en af alle tiders største lyrikere i hip hop og en rapper af guds nåde, men vi ved meget lidt om ham personligt.
Han gemte sig bag en maske, både symbolsk og bogstavelig forstand. Den maske havde han hentet fra Marvels Fantastic Fours ærkefjende Doctor Doom.
"He wears a mask just to cover the raw flesh, A rather ugly brother whose flows is...

Radio RackhamAnmeldelse: Joe SaccoHvorfor skal man læse en sort/hvid tegneserie om indianere og udvindning af naturresourcerne i Nordamerika? Det skal man fordi Joe Saccos ‘Paying the Land’ fra 2020 er en uomgængelig tegneserie. Der kommer ikke mange værker som rummer samme menneskelige, politiske og geopolitiske kompleksitet og minder læseren om hvad man kan med en tegneserie.
Klima, kolonialisme, kulturmøder og menneskeskæbner tages under behandling i denne fortælling som går helt tæt på virkeligheden. Joe Sacco er journalist men arbejder i tegneserieform og han bruger mediet på en måde som ikke ligner noget andet.

Radio RackhamAnmeldelse: Adrian TomineAdrian Tomine er på toppen af sit game. Han tegner til den mest prestigiøse publikation af sin art i Nordamerika, hans tegneserier udgives til anmelderoser og pænt salg og han er efter alt at dømme lykkeligt gift og har to døtre. Alligevel mangler der noget. Det handler hans seneste tegneserie, The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist, om.
Tegneserien, der består af humorisitiske og selvudleverende punktnedslag i Tomines liv, handler om tegneseriegerningen som kald og den frustration, om ikke udsigtsløshed, man som praktiserende risikerer. Den handler om branchens fordomme og faldgruber og i sidste ende om når...

Radio RackhamStatus: Tyve år efterRadio Rackham er et nyt kritisk tegneseriepodcast, der tager såvel den hjemlige som den internationale tegneseriekultur under behandling og ligeligt sætter fokus på tegneserien som kunstform og kulturfænomen.
Radio Rackham er alligvel ikke helt nyt, da det fortsætter et projekt, der startede med lanceringen af tegneserietidsskriftet Rackham i sommeren 2000 og siden udviklede sig til udstillingerne og tegneserieantologierne under BLÆK-paraplyen og sidenhen til deltagelse i etableringen af Dansk Tegneserieråd, Pingprisen og tegneseriesitet nummer9.dk, blandt andre ting.
Radio Rackham søsættes nu i erkendelse af, at den progressive tegneseriekultur holdet bag måske mere støjende e...
