    Jean-Bédel Bokassa Part 1: The Butcher of Bangui

    The former soldier in the French army who seized power in his African homeland. The leader of the Central African Republic who proclaimed himself emperor. The emperor who ruled as an avaricious dictator. Jean-Bédel Bokassa’s time in power in the CAR began with promises of equality and justice. Hailed as a beacon of strength, he would go on to preside over a regime of eccentricity, excess and sadistic cruelty. But decades before the surreal coronation, the 17 wives and the vast collection of luxurious possessions, our story begins in a much humbler setting. In a forested village near the CAR’s southern border, rebellion is in the air… A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann. Featuring Louisa Lombard, Richard Moncrieff, Gino Vlavonou. This is Part 1 of 3.

    Jim Jones : qui était vraiment ce pasteur derrière l'un des plus grands suicides collectifs de l'histoire ?

    Le 18 novembre 1978, les autorités américaines découvrent plus de 900 cadavres en pleine jungle guyanaise. Les victimes, fidèles d'une secte appelée le Temple du peuple, se sont administrées un mélange de soda, d'herbes aromatiques et de cyanure. L'homme derrière ce gigantesque charnier est Jim Jones, un pasteur de l'Indiana qui s'est peu à peu transformé en véritable gourou. Hébergé par Audiomeans.

    The Secret War Against Hitler's Wonder Weapons: Operation Crossbow

    You are now listening to World War 2 Stories. I'm your host Steve Matthews. Today, we're exploring a remarkable but often overlooked chapter of the Second World War – a desperate race against time to stop Hitler's revolutionary "vengeance weapons" before they could change the course of the conflict. This is the story of Operation Crossbow. Imagine this scenario: It's the summer of 1943. After years of devastating war, the tide is finally turning against Nazi Germany. Allied forces are preparing to invade Sicily, British and American bombers are pounding German cities, and plans for the eventual invasion of France are taking shape. But at this critical moment, Allied intelligence begins receiving disturbing reports of strange experimental weapons being developed by the Third Reich – weapons unlike anything seen before, capable of striking London from launch sites beyond the reach of fighters or anti-aircraft guns. What followed was one of the most remarkable intelligence and bombing campaigns of the war – a desperate effort that combined cutting-edge photo reconnaissance, precision bombing, and special operations to neutralize Hitler's last, best hope for victory: the V-1 flying bomb and V-2 rocket programs.

    War Against Wuxia: Jin Yong, Banned Books, and Taiwan’s “Rainstorm Project” – S5-E42

    Wuxia (武俠) novels are martial-arts stories full of swordsmen and swordplay, secret techniques, and chivalrous outlaws. Think Robin Hood crossed with Taoist mysticism and Chinese history. John talks with Taipei-based writer Scott Crawford about the genre – and Jin Yong 金庸 (1924-2018), the most popular and influential wuxia writer. Generations of admiring readers across Asia have devoured his many books. But Taiwan’s government was not a fan. Enter, the Rainstorm Project – a long-running crackdown launched in 1960 that targeted wuxia, especially Jin Yong’s works. Within days, 120,000 novels were seized; and, over the years, hundreds of wuxia titles were banned. But why? Was this simply Cold War paranoia about possible communist cultural “contamination”? Or a kind of moral panic about the impact on children; after all, this fantasy fiction was inspiring Taiwanese students to run off to the mountains in search of kung fu masters.
