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!

Julius Caesar Part 1: The Roman Dictator

Politician, writer, warrior, lover... Julius Caesar was the dictator-for-life who became the absolute ruler of Rome and its domains. His life was a series of extraordinary and gruesome adventures.

Ljóslæknirinn 1/1: Hinn íslenski Nóbelshafinn

Árið 1903 hlaut Niels Ryberg Finsen Nóbelsverðlaun fyrir rannsóknir sínar á ljósmeðhöndlun við hörundsberklum og öðrum sjúkdómum. Hann var fyrsti danski handhafi Nóbelsverðlaunanna sem þá voru nýtilkomin og vegna sérsviðs síns var hann gjarnan kallaður ljóslæknirinn. Uppruni Finsens teygir sig þó líka til Færeyja, þar sem hann fæddist, og til Íslands en á hann rætur að rekja til Íslands í föðurætt auk þess sem hann bjó hér um nokkurt skeið og lauk stúdentsprófi frá Lærða skólanum sem þá hét. Í aðalbyggingu Menntaskólans í Reykjavík er enn minnisvarði um námsár Finsens. Þrátt fyrir það er hann mörgum Íslendingum gleymdur og í þessum þætti verður hans minnst, fjallað um tengslin við Ísland, námsárin og afrekin á sviði læknavísinda.

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. MORE Ea Nasir and the World's Oldest Letters: Listen on Apple Listen on Spotify The Romans and India: Listen on Apple Listen on Spotify Presented by Tristan Hughes. Audio editor is Aidan Lonergan.

George Orwell's final chapter

Did you know that George Orwell only found national acclaim as an author in the final years of his life, as his health was worsening? Or that, with the growing prospect of death looming increasingly large, he sought refuge on a remote Scottish island? Historian Robert Colls tells James Osborne about these last stages of Orwell's life, and the toll that writing his two most celebrated works – Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four – took on the author. ----- GO BEYOND THE PODCAST To find out more about George Orwell, listen to our Life of the Week episode profiling the author, with historian Laura Beers: https://bit.ly/4d6ka7D Learn more about your ad choices.
