    Empress Dowager Cixi: from concubine to ruler of China

    Greg Jenner is joined in nineteenth-century China by historian Professor Yangwen Zheng and comedian Sophie Duker to learn about the Qing dynasty ruler Empress Dowager Cixi. A contemporary of Queen Victoria, Cixi rose from low-ranked concubine to de facto ruler of China for nearly half a century, and lived through a dizzying array of events in China’s nineteenth-century history, including the Taiping Rebellion, the Opium Wars, and the Boxer Rebellion. Ruling through her son and then her nephew, Empress Dowager Cixi dominated late Qing dynasty China, and oversaw a variety of economic and military – if not political – reforms. This episode charts her life, from her entry into the Forbidden Palace as a teenager all the way to her death in 1908, taking in the politics and traditions of the Qing imperial court, her relationship with Emperor Xianfeng and her rival turned co-ruler Empress Dowager Ci'an, and her determined attempts to gain and maintain power. If you’re a fan of Chinese history, ruthless court politics, and complex women characters, you’ll love our episode on Empress Dowager Cixi. If you want to learn more about the history of China, listen to our episodes on the history of Kung Fu and the Terracotta Warriors. And for more fascinating characters with Sophie Duker, check out our episode on Ramesses the Great, naughty nun Benedetta Carlini and the Chevalier de Saint-Georges. You’re Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past. Hosted by: Greg Jenner Research by: Emma Mitchell Written by: Emma Mitchell, Dr Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow, Dr Emma Nagouse, and Greg Jenner Produced by: Dr Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow and Greg Jenner Audio Producer: Steve Hankey Production Coordinator: Gill Huggett Senior Producer: Dr Emma Nagouse Executive Editor: Philip Sellars

    593. Von Rosens semesterkrigare – det svenska stridsflyget i Biafra

    När kriget i Biafra rasar och svälten blir ett vapen ställs en obekväm fråga: vad gör man när man inte längre kan titta bort? I detta avsnitt följer vi den svenske flygaren Carl Gustaf von Rosen – en aristokrat med ett liv som trotsar alla mallar – som väljer handling framför passivitet och kastar sig rakt in i en av 1900-talets mest förbisedda katastrofer. Från humanitära flygningar till ett improviserat flygvapen av skolflygplan berättar vi historien om ett krig där gränsen mellan hjälte och legosoldat suddas ut. Det här är en berättelse om moral, mod och konsekvenser – och om vad som händer när en enskild människa försöker förändra historiens gång. Hosted on Acast.

    #144 Päiväkirjoja ja 1940-luvun kulttuurista sotahistoriaa

    Jaksossa pohditaan sodankäyntiä ja sitä, minkälaisia sotakokemuksia välittyy 1940-luvun päiväkirjojen sivuilta. Tutustumme juutalaisvainojen aikaan eläneiden naisten kirjoittamiin päiväkirjoihin, jotka toimivat naisten selviytymiskeinona järkyttävien tapahtumien aikaan. Mietimme jaksossa, mikä merkitys päiväkirjojen kirjoittamisella on poikkeusaikoina. Onko olemassa jaettuja tunteita ja kokemuksia, jotka liittyvät sotiin ja miehityksen alla elämiseen? Entä minkälaista on tutkia sotaa nimenomaan päiväkirjojen välityksellä? Jakson keskiössä on yleisesti miettiä, minkälaista on niin sanottu uusi sotahistoria, jota voi lähestyä myös kulttuurihistorian näkökulmasta. Ovatko kansakunnat ja ihmiset lopulta oppineet mitään 1940-luvun historiasta? Jakson vieraana on tutkijatohtori Anna-Leena Perämäki Turun yliopistosta.

    Vieraana Lasse Lehtinen: Sotien syyllisyys

    Keväällä 1946 päättyi oikeudenkäynti, jossa entinen tasavallan presidentti, neljä entistä pääministeriä ja kolme entistä ministeriä tuomittiin vankeuteen ”sotiin syyllisinä”. Lasse Lehtisen kirja “Sotien syyllisyys jälkiviisaassa tarkastelussa” kuvaa Suomen maaperällä koettua näytösoikeudenkäyntiä, jossa neuvostodiktatuuri ja kotimainen äärivasemmisto painoivat päälle. Kiistelevän kansankunnan enemmistön mielestä Suomea nöyryytettiin ja juurrutettiin idän vaikutuspiiriin.

    Artemis II: 6. Halfway There

    Nasa’s Artemis II crew are now closer to the Moon than they are to Earth. Hosts astronaut Tim Peake and space scientist Maggie Aderin are joined by space journalist Kristin Fisher, who gives us the latest on the crew’s momentous journey, as the Integrity spacecraft begins its gentle deceleration before the point when the moon’s gravity starts pulling it more strongly than the earth’s. And the team answer a question from listener Mark. Has Artemis II had to dodge space junk on its way to the Moon, and if so, how is it detected and avoided? And planetary scientist Professor Sara Russell joins Tim, Maggie and Kristin to explain how the Moon got its water, what resources are drawing private companies to the Moon, and what a future lunar base would have to look like to withstand the Moon’s conditions. Season 4 theme music by Hans Zimmer and Christian Lundberg and produced by Russell Emanuel, for Bleeding Fingers Music. 13 Minutes Presents Artemis Two is a BBC Audio Science production for the BBC World Service.
