Morðabelgur

Því miður vill það brenna við að morð eru framin á okkar litlu eyju. Mjög góðar skráningar og heimildir eru um þetta leiðinda athæfi hér. Við skoðum tvö afar ólík morðmál sem þó ekki eru svo langt frá okkur í tíma. Annað er frá 1891, þar sem durgurinn Jón fer á kostum. Hitt málið er frá 1929, þar sem hlífðargleraugu, ferðamaður og enn einn Jóninn leikur aðalhlutverk. Hversu marga Jóna þarf til að skapa eina smáþjóð? Og hvernig er hægt að refsa fyrir morð? Enn sýnum við snilli okkar í landafræði, líffræði, prósentureikningi og ekki síst í skilningi á lengdar og breiddargráðum. En því meiri hljóta spæjarahæfileikar okkar að vera. Allt sem þarf er jú hattur og vindill? Sigrún átti afmæli við gerð þessa þáttar.

Bloody Mary

In 1553, Mary Tudor became the first woman to sit on the English throne - a reign of just five years, that history has remembered almost exclusively through the lens of her enemies. But today, we revisit the story of "Bloody Mary" to ask: was she really a ruthless tyrant? Joining us is Professor Kate Williams, a historian and broadcaster who specialises in Royal history. She unpacks Mary's life from start to finish and reveals the real Mary Tudor. Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Matthew Wilson. We need your help!

Sir Francis Drake

Sir Francis Drake is most famous for his role in defeating the Armada of 1588 and saving England from a Spanish invasion. By that point in his life, he was already a wealthy and famous seafarer: the first Englishman to sail around the world, knighted by Queen Elizabeth I in recognition of this astounding feat. But though he is remembered in England as a naval hero, Drake spent most of his maritime career as a pirate, feared by the Spanish whose colonies and ships he terrorised. To them, he was ‘El Draque’ – the dragon – with a bounty placed on his head by King Philip II of Spain himself. So who was the real Francis Drake – avaricious pirate, or patriotic naval commander? How did a boy from an agricultural Devonshire family discover fame and fortune on the high seas? And to what extent is his heroic reputation overshadowed by his darker deeds? This is a Short History Of Sir Francis Drake. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Hannah Cusworth, curator of the Atlantic at Royal Museums Greenwich.

The CIA: What is It For?

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas speaks to journalist Tim Weiner about his new history of the CIA in the 21st century, The Mission, and about the enduring tension between intelligence gathering and covert action. Drawing on four decades of reporting, Weiner argues that the CIA’s greatest failures arise when it abandons its core purpose of understanding the world in favour of trying to change it. Weiner explains: How he began covering the CIA during the Reagan era and what drew him into intelligence reporting Why the CIA is best understood as an instrument of presidential power, not an independent actor The agency’s post–Cold War collapse and its loss of mission before 9/11 How the War on Terror transformed the CIA into a global counterterrorism and paramilitary force The origins, logic, and consequences of torture, black sites, and the failure of interrogation The intelligence failures behind the Iraq War and how ‘facts were fitted around the policy’ The rise of drone warfare under Obama and the normalization of targeted killing Covert operations from Peru to Syria, including the limits and dangers of programs like TIMBER SYCAMORE The difference between espionage and covert action—and why only the former can prevent war and save lives Why the greatest danger today is a president who ignores intelligence while using the CIA’s coercive power Join the Conflicted Community here: ⁠⁠https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm⁠⁠ Find Conflicted on X: ⁠⁠https://x.com/MHconflicted⁠⁠ And Facebook: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted⁠⁠ And Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod⁠⁠ And YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sdlF1mY5t4⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

The Persian Gulf

Near the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most vital commercial chokepoints, lies an ancient trade route that powered civilisation 4,000 years ago: the Persian Gulf - where goods and ideas flowed between the great cities of Mesopotamia, Arabia and beyond to the far flung cities of the Indus Valley and the Indian subcontinent. In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr Steffen Laursen and Dr Lloyd Weeks to uncover the story of this Bronze Age superhighway. How did this narrow sea connect such distant civilisations? What kinds of goods travelled its waters, and who controlled these vital routes? From the thriving Bahraini port of Dilmun to the wider networks beyond the Gulf, discover how this region became a crossroads of trade, culture and power, and why it still matters so much today.

#261 Lygar og morð: Hinn einkennilegi Stéphane Bourgoin

Finndu þér miða á túrinn okkar um landið hér. Upp úr 1990 fór einn maður að láta að sér kveða í frönsku þjóðlífi og vakti mikla athygli. Hann virtist sérfræðingur um nokkuð sem Frakkar höfðu til þessa gefið lítinn gaum: Raðmorðingjar. Maður þessi var Stéphane Bourgoin. Hann var alveg ómenntaður en virtist hreinlega vita allt um þetta efni. Frakkar voru heillaðir af þessum einkennilega manni sem talaði svo fjálglega en einnig fræðilega um þessi myrku mál. Fjölmiðlamenn elskuðu hann. Meira að segja lögreglan leitaði til hans. Hann talaði jafnvel við, og hughreysti, fólk sem hafði misst ástvini sem höfðu verið myrtir. Það var ekki fyrr en áratugum seinna að áhugafólk um glæpi fór að kanna Bourgoin kyrfilega. Þá kom ýmislegt misjafnt í ljós. Viltu heyra fleiri þætti?

Guríður Símonardóttir

Fimmtugasti Myrki þátturinn fjallar um Guðríði "bad ass" Símonardóttur sem var rænt ásamt tæplega 400 Íslendingum af sjóræningjum árið 1627 og flutt í þrælahald í Barbaríinu í Algeirsborg. Af þessu heyrðum við í tveimur þáttunum í 4. seríu. En þar endar saga Guðríðar alls ekki því hún átti eftir að komast aftur til Íslands löngu síðar og hneyksla landann. Glöggir áheyrendur geta heyrt al íslenskt haglél bylja á upptökustúdíóinu. Fullkomin leið til að þakka fyrir veturinn og bjóða vorið velkomið með þessum síðasta þætti í bili.
