    Riot Grrrls

    Riot Grrrls

    The third wave of feminism crashed into western countries during the early 1990s. Three distinct events between 1991 and 1993 have been credited with leading this new movement: the controversial testimony of Anita Hill against her former boss and supreme court nominee Clarence Thomas, an article by Rebecca Walters which covered that whole incident and a group of bad-ass women with instruments and a whole lot of anger trapped inside known as Riot Grrrls.

    History of the Netherlands Podcast Release

This underrated, little swamp has, for well over a millennium, punched far above its weight in terms of influencing global culture, language, philosophy, commerce, religion and cheese.

So, with great joy, let us introduce 'The History of the Netherlands' podcast In it, we tell the story of this special swamp, and how it grew into becoming a global superpower, as well as exploring its important role in the wider historical developments in Europe and the world over the previous thousand or so years.

    Free & Fearless - Ep 03 - Execution and Escape

    On 5 February, 1943, thirteen of the twenty-three defendants from the First Parool Trial were given paper and pens and told to write farewell letters to their families. Hours later, they were executed by firing squad. But the ringleader of the group, Frans Goedhart, was able to win a temporary reprieve and over the next few months undertook various attempts to escape from Vught concentration camp. But would luck be on his side?

    Free & Fearless - Ep 02: The Process

    After the botched arrest of Arie Addicks in September 1941, the Addicks group was firmly in the sights of the authorities. Over the course of four months, a series of arrests would take place across the Netherlands, from the streets of Amsterdam to a freezing beach in Scheveningen, which would end with twenty-three people being charged with crimes against the state. But would these freedom fighters survive some of the Netherlands’ most infamous concentration camps?

    Free & Fearless - Ep 01: The Addicks Group

    After the invasion of the Netherlands in May 1940, a group of men from a disbanded socialist youth group called the AJC, came together to fight back against the new Nazi regime. The young members of the so-called “Addicks Group” joined forces with journalist and activist Frans Goedhart and became active in creating and distributing the illegal anti-Nazi newspaper Het Parool. But their activities would soon put themselves and their loved ones in mortal peril.

    Coup de Pod II: Power to the Pussy Part 2 - Don't Iron While the Strike is Hot

    Coup de Pod II: Power to the Pussy Part 2 - Don't Iron While the Strike is Hot

    In this episode, we explore the second wave of feminism. Although gains were made around the world for women during the 1910s and 20s, fast forward twenty years, and another global conflict, and by the 1950s women in the West had been pushed back into the household; their roles in the expectations of society confined to the whims and demands of men. By the end of that decade, a low rumble of discontent had begun amongst women in the US. In the 1960s that rumble grew into a roar, as women around the country stood up and spoke up.

M.Wales ,

Enjoyable History Podcast.

Very interesting subject matter. Well researched and cleverly presented.

Raceguitar ,

Great show

Real cool down to earth presentation of some deep historical events. Definitely worth your time.

CircusHum ,

Fun times at the revolution.

This podcast covers rebellion with humour, drama, and more than a few interesting twists and turns. "Rembrandt and the Revolting Batavians," for example does just what the title says and transitions from a first century rebellion against the Roman Empire to the story behind the creation and reception of a Rembrant painting. And it wraps it all up with Kenny Rogers.
I like that this is revolution and rebellion not just in the sense of military uprisings but in the tracings of art, culture, and knowledge, and that it covers individuals at the peak of empires and at the level of the ordinary citizen (whatever that may be). It's pretty great.
