Dominando el Podcasting: Cómo iniciar, hacer crecer y monetizar tu podcast
by Adidas WilsonUn podcast es, básicamente, algo parecido a una radio online. La única diferencia es que presenta ciertas ventajas, como la posibilidad de escucharlo cuando lo desees en lugar de tener que hacerlo en un determinado día u horario. Si bien los podcasts se parecen a los programas de entrevistas de la radio, son al mismo tiempo muy diferentes, como sucede con los videos de YouTube y la televisión. Un podcast se describe mejor como una serie de episodios almacenados en archivos de audio, del mismo tipo de los que usas para escuchar música en tu smartphone o en tu computadora . Al igual que cualquier otro programa de entrevistas de radio o televisión, un podcast generalmente trata sobre una categoría en particular: puede ser juegos, terror, entretenimiento, deportes, política, etc. En cada episodio, se aborda un tema de esa categoría. Puedes optar por suscribirte al podcast (generalmente es gratuito) o escuchar un tema en especial. Pod Saves America es un podcast muy popular que aborda las noticias políticas en forma progresiva. Los anfitriones son Daniel Pfeiffer, Jon Lovett, Tommy Vietor y Jon Favreau. Suelen invitar a expertos para que compartan sus opiniones. Los episodios se centran principalmente en cuestiones políticas como ser la reforma fiscal o la asistencia sanitaria. Otro podcast es The Critical Role.

Don't Burn This Book: Thinking for Yourself in an Age of Unreason
by Dave RubinFrom host of The Rubin Report, the most-watched talk show about free speech and big ideas on YouTube right now, a roadmap for free thinking in an increasingly censored world.The left is no longer liberal. <P><P> Once on the side of free speech and tolerance, progressives now ban speakers from college campuses, "cancel" people who aren't up to date on the latest genders, and force religious people to violate their conscience. They have abandoned the battle of ideas and have begun fighting a battle of feelings. This uncomfortable truth has turned moderates and true liberals into the politically homeless class. <P><P> Dave Rubin launched his political talk show The Rubin Report in 2015 as a meeting ground for free thinkers who realize that partisan politics is a dead end. He hosts people he both agrees and disagrees with--including those who have been dismissed, deplatformed, and despised--taking on the most controversial issues of our day. As a result, he's become a voice of reason in a time of madness. <P><P> Now, Rubin gives you the tools you need to think for yourself in an age when tribal outrage is the only available alternative. Based on his own story as well as his experiences from the front lines of the free speech wars, this book will empower you to make up your own mind about what you believe on any issue and teach you the fine art of: <P><P> • Checking your facts, not your privilege, when it comes to today's most pervasive myths, from the wage gap and gun violence to climate change and hate crimes. • Standing up to the mob against today's absurd PC culture, when differences of opinion can bring relationships, professional or personal, to a sudden end. • Defending classically liberal principles such as individual rights and limited government, because freedom is impossible without them. The Progressive Woke Machine is waging war against the last free thinkers in the world. Don't Burn This Book is the definitive account of our current political upheaval and your guide to surviving it. <P><P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>

Ea’s Duplicity in the Gilgamesh Flood Story (The Ancient Word)
by Martin WorthingtonThis volume opens up new perspectives on Babylonian and Assyrian literature, through the lens of a pivotal passage in the Gilgamesh Flood story. It shows how, using a nine-line message where not all was as it seemed, the god Ea inveigled humans into building the Ark. The volume argues that Ea used a ‘bitextual’ message: one which can be understood in different ways that sound the same. His message thus emerges as an ambivalent oracle in the tradition of ‘folktale prophecy’. The argument is supported by interlocking investigations of lexicography, divination, diet, figurines, social history, and religion. There are also extended discussions of Babylonian word play and ancient literary interpretation. Besides arguing for Ea’s duplicity, the book explores its implications – for narrative sophistication in Gilgamesh, for audiences and performance of the poem, and for the relation of the Gilgamesh Flood story to the versions in Atra-hasīs, the Hellenistic historian Berossos, and the Biblical Book of Genesis. Ea’s Duplicity in the Gilgamesh Flood Story will interest Assyriologists, Hebrew Bible scholars and Classicists, but also students and researchers in all areas concerned with Gilgamesh, word-play, oracles, and traditions about the Flood.
Ebony Magazine and Lerone Bennett Jr.: Popular Black History in Postwar America
by E. James WestFrom its launch in 1945, Ebony magazine was politically and socially influential. However, the magazine also played an important role in educating millions of African Americans about their past. Guided by the pen of Lerone Bennett Jr., the magazine’s senior editor and in-house historian, Ebony became a key voice in the popular black history revival that flourished after World War II. Its content helped push representations of the African American past from the margins to the center of the nation’s cultural and political imagination. E. James West's fresh and fascinating exploration of Ebony’s political, social, and historical content illuminates the intellectual role of the iconic magazine and its contribution to African American scholarship. He also uncovers a paradox. Though Ebony provided Bennett with space to promote a militant reading of black history and protest, the magazine’s status as a consumer publication helped to mediate its representation of African American identity in both past and present. Mixing biography, cultural history, and popular memory, West restores Ebony and Bennett to their rightful place in African American intellectual, commercial, and political history.
Eco-Translatology: Towards an Eco-paradigm of Translation Studies (New Frontiers in Translation Studies)
by (Hugs) Gengshen HuThis book offers a panoramic view of the emerging eco-paradigm of Translation Studies, known as Eco-Translatology, and presents a systematic study of the theoretical discourse from ecological perspectives in the field of Translation Studies. Eco-Translatology describes and interprets translation activities in terms of the ecological principles of Eco-holism, traditional Eastern eco-wisdom, and ‘Translation as Adaptation and Selection’. Further, Eco-Translatology approaches the phenomenon of translation as a broadly conceived eco-system in which the ideas of ‘Translation as Adaptation and Selection’, as well as translation as a ‘textual transplant’ promoting an ‘eco-balance’, are integrated into an all-encompassing vision. Lastly, Eco-Translatology reinforces contextual uniqueness, emphasizing the deep embeddedness of texts, translations, and the human agents involved in their production and reception in their own habitus. It is particularly encouraging, in this increasingly globalised world, to see a new paradigm sourced from East Asian traditions but with universal appeal and applications, and which adds to the diversity and plurality of global Translation Studies. This book, the first of its kind, will substantially expand the horizons of Translation Studies, a field that is still trying to define its own borders, and will open a wealth of new possibilities. Destined to become a milestone in the field of Translation, Interpretation and Adaptation Studies, as well as eco-criticism, it will introduce readers to a wholly new epistemological intervention in Translation Studies and therefore will open new vistas of thoughts, discussion and criticism.
Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage
by Laura HuangSHORTLISTED FOR THE BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2021How do you find a competitive edge when you feel like the world is against you? How do you get people to take you seriously when they're predisposed not to?Star Harvard Business School professor Laura Huang has come up against that problem many times - and so has anyone who's ever felt out of place or underrecognised. Many of us sit back quietly, hoping that our hard work and grit will speak for themselves. Or we force ourselves to fit the mold of what we perceive as 'successful', stifling the creativity and charm that makes us memorable.In this perfect guide for ambitious readers of Amy Cuddy's Presence and Angela Duckworth's Grit looking for the missing piece that will take them to the next level, Huang offers a different approach.She argues that success is rarely about the quality of your ideas, your credentials and skills or the effort you put in. Instead, it's about how well you shape others' perceptions - about your strengths, yes, but also about your flaws. It's about creating an edge by confronting the factors that seem like shortcomings and turning them into assets that persuade others to take notice.Drawing from her research on gut feeling, pitching and investment decisions, as well as stories about previously overlooked Olympians, assistants-turned executives and first-time entrepreneurs, Huang shows that success comes from knowing who you are and using that knowledge unapologetically and strategically. This book will teach you how to find your unique edge and keep it sharp.
