Tarot @ Teatime — Episode 32: Tarot de Marseille
While the Rider-Waite-Smith deck is the most popular today, there is an older style of deck that originated in Renaissance Italy. It was later brought to France and is known as the “Tarot de Marseille” or “TdM.” Its imagery and interpretation differ significantly from modern decks.
Episode 32 premieres on Thursday May 12th at 12 noon and 4pm /SLT Pacific Time (8pm and midnight in the UK) and is repeated at the same times on Sundays and Thursdays up to and including May 22nd.

The Incredible Adventures of Jack Flanders — Part 8
Tune in Friday for the latest episode of our exciting radio serial from our friends at ZBS Foundation: The Incredible Adventures of Jack Flanders! There are 10 half-hour episodes, one every Friday at noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT.
THE INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES OF JACK FLANDERS
In the dead of night, a large shipping crate is delivered to the home of our hero Jack Flanders. Opening the crate, Jack discovers a green velvet overstuffed chair. Each night at the stroke of midnight, Jack sits in the soft, comfortable chair which comes alive, luring him onto its velvety realm. Everyday reality fades away, and Jack finds himself in a strange, other-world of magic, pirates, and sorcery where huge puffballs cling to ceilings and walls, masted sailing ships with wings fly the skies and islands float in the air…
Music for Shakespeare
Today, 4 May, we are presenting a programme of music written to accompany, or inspired by, the plays of William Shakespeare. In addition we hope to give you a feeling for the world of the Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre, with the help of recreations of the atmosphere of plays and playgoing at the time.
The programme includes music from the Elizabethan period to the present, with a wealth of classical material as well as Early Music (some of it performed by the players and musicians of the reconstructed Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in Bankside, London) and some modern examples such as the Third Ear Band’s music for Polanski’s film of Macbeth.
Then tune in at noon or 4pm Pacific Time/SLT for the latest episode of our original series, “Where Have You Been?”, where we visit Svarga — details here.
