    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.

    Francisco de Cuéllar: Spanish Armada Captain

    How did a condemned Spanish Armada captain survive shipwreck, betrayal, and war to leave behind one of the most extraordinary first-person accounts of the 16th century? Francisco de Cuéllar was a career officer shaped by the harsh realities of early modern warfare, surviving looting, imprisonment, betrayal, and a brutal overland escape through a hostile landscape. Cuéllar's journey became one of the most gripping survival stories to emerge from the Spanish Armada shipwrecks. Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Cuéllar's biographer Francis Kelly to explore a story of survival, imperial warfare, and one man’s determination not to be erased by history.

    De wooncrisis, Machiavelli en Tijd voor Papoea

    (01:23) Er zijn in het nieuwe coalitieakkoord grootse plannen aangekondigd om de wooncrisis tegen te gaan. Wat kunnen we leren van hoe er eerder in Nederland groots werd gedacht over wonen? Historicus Wouter Beekers schreef het boek Wonen, wonen, wonen – de geschiedenis van volkshuisvesting in Nederland en is te gast.  (16:10) Duizenden Nederlandse kinderen dragen geen bril, terwijl ze die wel nodig hebben. Moeten we terug naar de ziekenfondsbril? Te gast zijn Hans Spekman, voorzitter van het Jeugdeducatiefonds en Lex Uilenbroek, 5e generatie opticien in de oudste brillenwinkel van Nederland.  (27:16) Het recht van de sterkste #3: filosoof Tinneke Beeckman over Niccolò Machiavelli, politiek machtsdenker. (38:57) Sanne Frequin bespreekt deze twee boeken en een tentoonstelling:  - Het eeuwige leven - Tiina Raevaara (vert. Sophie Kuiper)  - Halewijn - Else Boer  - Metamorfosen - Tentoonstelling in het Rijksmuseum  (52:06) Conservator Wonu Veys en cultuurhistoricus Nancy Jouwe over de nieuwe tentoonstelling ‘Tijd voor Papoea’ in het Wereldmuseum Leiden.  (01:11:11) OVT Doc: Het ideale silhouet  We zijn er maar druk mee: het kneden, trainen en corrigeren van ons menselijk lichaam. Die zoektocht naar het ideale lichaam is niet nieuw. Altijd al probeerden we onze contouren te veranderen en aan te passen aan het heersende schoonheidsbeeld. Maar voor de introductie van cosmetische ingrepen en uitgebreide fitness-routines was men voornamelijk afhankelijk van ondermode: korsetten snoerden de taille in, bustles vergrootten de billen, beha’s liftten boezems omhoog, en slips en gordels maakten de buik plat. Het Design Museum in Den Bosch toont alle middelen die door de tijd heen in het leven werden geroepen om ons silhouet te vormen. Met conservator en curator Anne-Karlijn van Kesteren en fervent ondermode-verzamelaar Dirk-Jan List. Gemaakt door Laura Stek    Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-8-februari-2026  (https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-8-februari-2026)
