The Yakuza

They projected themselves as fearless protectors bound by a code of chivalry, yet in their wake they left trails of bloody street duels and ritualised finger-chopping. From 17th-century dispossessed samurai turned street muggers, to powerful paramilitary bosses infiltrating national politics, the yakuza's evolution is a masterclass in criminal survival and reinvention. Andrew Rankin, author of 'Yakuza: A 400-Year History of the Japanese Underworld', joins us to uncover the dramatic rise and transformation of Japan's organised crime syndicates. Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Tim Arstall. You can also email the podcast directly at ds.hh@historyhit.com. Dan Snow's History Hit is a History Hit podcast.

Gooseberry Fool

Featuring just a handful of ingredients, gooseberry fool is among the simplest of all desserts – but also one of the most beloved. But what makes a fool a fool? Why does it owe its existence in equal measure to medieval kitchen gardens and the Victorian fad for enormous gooseberries? And why have its tart ingredients recently fallen from favour? In this episode of History’s Greatest Dishes, Emily Briffett and food historian Annie Gray chart the story behind this simple classic. They explore how the fruit-and-cream dish earned its place on the modern dining table – and, along the way, delve into Britain’s obsession with giving sweet dishes the rudest of names.

The bloody birth of the bond market

The US Treasury market - the world's largest government bond market - is worth about $32tn today, making it the largest pile of debt accumulated in history. But its roots lie in medieval Venice, a bloody military disaster and a leader who was forced to raise a loan to fund a war against the Byzantine Empire. What followed was a catastrophe involving pestilence, defeat and the brutal murder of the Doge, or leader, himself on the streets of Venice. But out of this crisis emerges a financial tool that transformed global capitalism: a tradable loan that offered transparency, accountability and formed the foundations of the modern bond market. In a special live recording from New York, Gillian Tett and Robin Wigglesworth dive into the origins of the world’s first tradable bond. Plus, why bonds remain the ultimate check on government power today and what 12th-century Venice can teach us about current market turmoil.
