    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.

    The Prehistoric Plague

    The first ever outbreak of 'plague' - Yersinia Pestis, the most feared disease in human history - was long thought to be the Plague of Justinian in 541 AD. But new studies of ancient DNA have revealed traces of Yesinia Pestis dating back more than 5,000 years.  In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Laura Spinney to explore the origins of prehistoric plague. How did this pestilence emerge to blight the Neolithic world? Where did it come from? And could it have triggered a Stone Age collapse which signalled the dawn of the Bronze Age in Europe? Discover how this deadly pathogen reshaped entire Stone Age societies, long before the advent of written history.  MORE Did Plague Destroy the Roman Empire? Listen on Apple Listen on Spotify The Birth of Indo-European Listen on Apple Listen on Spotify Presented by Tristan Hughes. Audio editor is Aidan Lonergan. The producer is Joseph Knight.

    The Spanish Civil War

    The story of Franco’s rise to power and the painful, repressive regime he oversaw is fundamentally interlinked with that of the Spanish Civil War. A brutal three-year conflict that laid bare the ideological divisions of interwar Europe, it drew support from fascist governments across the continent. But it also inspired socialists from around the world to fight for the democratic, republican government, and to oppose the rising tide of fascism wherever and however they could.    What caused Spain's military to turn against the country's civilian government in 1936? Why did a national civil war attract such international attention? And what ramifications does the conflict still have in modern Spain? This is a Short History Of the Spanish Civil War.

    Bob Dylan

    The American singer-songwriter and musician Bob Dylan is one of the most important recording artists on the planet. A cultural icon, his work has had a profound influence on popular music since the 1960s. First gaining fame as a folk singer with songs that addressed the subjects of the Cold War and the civil rights movement, he later revolutionised rock music. But Dylan is an artist of contradictions. A magnetic performer who remains fiercely private. One of the wealthiest musicians of his generation who dresses like a vagabond. A womaniser who has penned some of the world’s most tender love songs. But how did a suburban boy from Minnesota become one of the world’s most famous artists? Why does he inspire such fierce devotion and myth-making? And after six decades of songwriting and performing, how can we begin to characterise his legacy? This is a Short History Of Bob Dylan. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Michael Gray, the pioneer of Dylan Studies, and the author of the first critical study of Bob Dylan’s work, Song & Dance Man: The Art of Bob Dylan.

    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!
