    401. The Norman Conquests: Secrets of the Bayeux Tapestry (Part 1)

    The Bayeux Tapestry shows one of the defining moments in English history. But look closer at its dragon-prowed ships and its warriors, and there's another story stitched into the Battle of Hastings. Why does the Norman invasion look so much like a Viking raid? Who were the Normans before 1066, and how much of their Norse past did they carry with them across the Channel? William Dalrymple is joined by the brilliant Eleanor Barraclough, author of Embers of The Hands, to discuss the domino effect which takes us from Viking river invasions in Western Europe to the Battle of 1066…  Brought to you by Plaud.

  • Heath Ledger: Baited with Drugs, Beaten to a Pulp, and Beyond the Point of No Return

    Heath Ledger: Baited with Drugs, Beaten to a Pulp, and Beyond the Point of No Return

    Heath Ledger’s preparation for and disappearance into his movie roles is legendary, and it’s what helped him play repressed cowboys, junkies, and maniacal clowns equally well. His research led him to junkies who taught him how to properly shoot up using a stolen prosthetic arm and fake blood, and to a personal diary full of cut-and-paste madness. The paparazzi, however, mocked Heath’s method, and took their public quarrel with him to duplicitous lengths.

    Patty Hearst: Brainwashing, Cyanide Bullets, and an Heiress-Turned-Terrorist

    Before Patty Hearst appeared as an actress in John Waters' movies, she captivated America on the silver screen as a hostage terrorized by the Symbionese Liberation Army. When the newspaper heiress was kidnapped by the radical organization in 1974, the country sympathized with her plight. But after just a few months, the SLA’s guns weren’t pointing at Patty anymore. Suddenly, Patty was firing her own weapons during fistfights and bank robberies as a member of the same terrorist group that once kept her locked in a closet. In court, Patty claimed she was brainwashed and that she played along for her own safety. It’s true that Patty Hearst gave the performance of a lifetime — but we still don’t know which part of her life was the performance. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including graphic depictions of violence.

    The Real Geopolitics of Sudan’s Civil War

    Sudan’s civil war has become a regional proxy struggle, with the UAE, Egypt, Iran, Turkey and other powers backing rival armed camps as the country fragments under the pressure of war. But while the RSF’s foreign support has drawn intense scrutiny, the forces sustaining Sudan’s army — from Islamist networks to drones, money and weapons supplied from abroad — have received far less attention.

  • How Apologists Use (and Misuse) Manuscripts

    How Apologists Use (and Misuse) Manuscripts

    Do manuscripts prove the Bible never changed? Some Christian apologists have argued that the Great Isaiah scroll (1QIsaa) is proof of an unchanging Bible, that it's "Word for Word" identical to the later Masoretic Text. Some have argued that P52 – a small fragment of John's gospel – shows that eyewitnesses quickly wrote down gospels. In a debate with Bart a decade back, Daniel Wallace even referenced a first century Gospel of Mark, that turned out to be a stolen manuscript that was eventually dated much later. For some modern Christians and apologists, manuscripts are "proof" of something... that the Bible is unchanging or perhaps inerrant. But can that claim hold up? In this episode, Bart unpacks what manuscripts do and don't prove, and the challenges they raise for people who want to argue for an unchanging Bible.

    Al Pacino: Good and Evil, Attempted Robbery, and the Role of a Lifetime

    The death of a neighborhood friend, an attempted robbery that almost went horribly wrong, good vs. evil, and the road not taken: this is the Al Pacino origin story. It all culminates in the role of a lifetime. Not Michael Corleone. Not a role on stage or screen. The most important role of Al Pacino’s young life played out in front of a couple of detectives and a district attorney.

    St. Bruno

    Over the course of life, we will probably experience God's call to share the gifts He gave us in many different ways. Saint Bruno certainly did! Before founding the Carthusian order, he had already lived a life of service through teaching many who would go on to lead within the Church, including a pope, who would later call him out of the monastery and back to Rome. Join Dr. Elizabeth Klein and Dr. Scott Hefelfinger as they introduce us to Saint Bruno. Dr. Elizabeth Klein is an associate professor of theology at the Augustine Institute Graduate School of Theology. Learn more at Augustine.edu. Watch Catholic Saints and other great content on Formed.
