Worth a Minute

By: Mike Elder & Bex Elder
  • Summary

  • The podcast where every word matters and each episode is carefully crafted to bring you interesting and entertaining content from a broad range of contributors. What can be covered in a meaningful fashion in podcast episodes that last just 60 seconds? Quite a lot, it turns out! Cicero is credited with saying, “I have only made this letter longer because I have not had time to make it shorter”. Our aim is to apply that principle to the 'Worth a Minute' podcast by cutting down content to its essence and then expressing it in a striking and memorable manner.

  • S1 Ep 27 – Best Ever ‘Dance Your Own Steps’ Movie
    Apr 5 2023

    Mike's best ever ‘Dance Your Own Steps’ movie is Baz Luhrmann’s 1992 romantic comedy, ‘Strictly Ballroom’.

    Not only does the plot celebrate individual creativity and personal convictions, the film-making deliberately breaks barriers and is extravagantly entertaining.

    Ultimately, though, it also inspires, with its core message of ‘a life lived in fear is a life half-lived’ being epitomised by the lead character’s father finally breaking the shackles imposed on his own creativity to initiate the brilliant Paso Doble finale!

    It is truly a movie that dances all its own steps!

  • S1 Ep 26 – Best Ever Anagrammatic Poem
    Mar 22 2023

    Mike's best ever anagrammatic poem is David Shulman’s sonnet, ‘Washington Crossing the Delaware’, inspired by Emanuel Leutze’s famous painting of the same name.

    Every line is an anagram of the painting’s title and yet the poem still works, even managing to include specialist, key references to the historical incident, including 'Redcoats', 'Continentals' and 'Hessian'!

    The best place to read the poem is on Wikipedia where you can watch an animation in which the letters beautifully circulate into new positions as each new line is displayed!
