Life And Life Only

13/12/2024

NEW EPISODE!

And so we bring an end to another fine journey through a fascinating topic and indeed another year of this podcast.

Part 3 of this series looks at ‘positive propaganda’ in the field of public health, multiple examples of negative propaganda by way of the demonising (sometimes literally) of political rivals and rival nations, and finally a look at how technology has brought propaganda, along with the world, into a very new landscape in the 21st century.

If nothing else, this series should get you thinking about propaganda and whether it is all bad or simply becomes that in the wrong hands
(ref- the outro clip is Bill Hicks talking about the first Iraq War and President George H.W. Bush)

We sincerely hope you enjoy the show! If so, please subscribe, like, share etc...

See you in 2025!

NEW EPISODE!

We continue our exploration of the fascinating and contentious topic of propaganda, using as our basis David Welch’s 2013 book ‘Propaganda: Power & Persuasion.

In Part 2, we look at the propaganda of nationhood and leadership before taking a deep dive into the chapter of the book on war propaganda. Is propaganda good or bad? Or does it just depend on who’s propagating the information? Part 3 will be out in December

Have a good weekend everyone 😀

NEW EPISODE!

To round off the year, we present another multi-part series, this time on a fascinating topic that I have come to see as something of an art form. The main material being used is David Welch’s very accessible and even-handed book ‘Propaganda: Power & Persuasion, which accompanied an exhibition on the topic at the British Library in 2013.

Is propaganda good or bad? Or does it just depend on who’s propagating the information? In Part 1, we look at definitions of propaganda, some of the history of it, and we begin to build up a picture of its place in our society. Part 2 will be on its way soon

Bon weekend everyone😁

NEW EPISODE!

We’ve got a special episode for you this time as Antony is joined by 1990s football legend and truth-seeker Matt Le Tissier. The conversation hits on a few topics such as the recent Euro 2024 tournament and some of the problems with the mentality of English football.

Antony and Matt then discuss media narratives and the wider agenda regarding sport, especially its propagandistic relationship with national identity.

Our niche podcast has reached a 50k milestone (no, didn't say millstone😁...) on its 50th episode. This doesn't count you tube so the real total is probably quite a bit more.

Thanks for those who've listened and of course all the feedback. LALO 51 will be along in 3 weeks

Have a nice weekend!

Hi friends, here’s something for the weekend...

NEW EPISODE!

To mark Life And Life Only’s half-century, I drove back to my original home town on the day I celebrated another journey round the sun, to share a few personal reminiscences and also muse on nostalgia, memories, socio-economic status and a few other things.

There’s also a nice bit of relaxing music to finish today’s episode and an announcement of a rather special guest coming up for LALO 51.

NEW EPISODE!

And so we bring to an end another podcast series as we conclude our whistle-stop journey through some of the highlights of John Cleese and Robin Skynner’s very readable, entertaining and insightful book ‘Life & How To Survive It’, which is presented as an ongoing dialogue between the doctor and the intelligent layman.

The topics and sub-topics this time include spiritual experiences and the various ways of achieving them, being fully alive and awake, death, mortality & aging and the difficulty of change.

As you listen, perhaps you could ponder these questions:

-Are we really living our lives or actually dreaming our way through them?

-Why not devote the rest of your life , starting now, to improving your wellbeing and working on your development and happiness


As is the usual format, Antony picks parts from the book, reads them out and then expands on some of the points made.

We sincerely hope you enjoy this show and have enjoyed this recent series of episodes

NEW EPISODE!

We continue our sprawling but hopefully enlightening trawl through John Cleese and Robin Skynner’s very readable, entertaining and insightful book ‘Life & How To Survive It’, which is presented as an ongoing dialogue between the doctor and the intelligent layman. One of the many strengths of the book is how it takes concepts and ideas and shows how they can be adapted to various contexts.

Among the topics and sub-topics touched upon in this episode are politics, society and its many forms, the continuing quest for the keys to happiness and mental clarity, the differences between British, American and Japanese culture, myths & reality, and the relationship between religion and mental health.

As is the usual format, Antony picks some interesting parts from the book, reads them out and then expands on some of the points made.

Part 3 will be on its merry way soon

NEW EPISODE!

As the podcast nears its half century, we venture into another multi-parter, this time on John Cleese and Robin Skynner’s very readable, entertaining and insightful book ‘Life & How To Survive It’, the sequel to their ‘Families & How To Survive Them’. As with ‘Families’, this book is presented as an ongoing dialogue between the doctor/expert and the patient/layman.

As is the usual format, Antony picks some interesting parts from the book, reads them out and then expands on some of the points made. Part 1 starts with looking at good, bad and average mental health among individuals, families and companies. Along the way, there is discussion of generosity, work, humour, dependence, neurosis and defences and a few other things

Part 2 will be on its merry way soon
