  • Was Daniel Jesus' Favorite Book?

    1 day ago

    Was Daniel Jesus' Favorite Book?

    The Book of Daniel is set in the sixth century BCE, during the Babylonian exile. It describes visions of empires rising and falling — and for a long stretch, the sequence tracks real history with remarkable precision. Kingdom after kingdom, exactly as it happened. Then, at a certain point, it stops being right. That break is one of the most important pieces of evidence. Bart joins host Megan Lewis to explain what Daniel gets right, where it goes wrong, and why the exact point of failure tells us when the book was really written. And Bart will talk about how this book and its ideas may have shaped Jesus' thinking.

  • Episode 1 - Shock and awe as Barbarossa begins & Stalin goes AWOL

    21/06/2020

    Episode 1 - Shock and awe as Barbarossa begins & Stalin goes AWOL

    Welcome to the Battle of Stalingrad podcast with me your host, Des Latham, this is the Battle of Stalingrad, episode 1. As I went about planning this series over the last year, the big question that emerged was how was I to make sense of the madness? The utter devastation and destruction wrought by this moment in history, where the 6th German Army under the direction of an increasingly out of touch Führer were sent to a city that became a graveyard for about two million people. Stalingrad is now a legal term meaning to wear down opposition lawyers by presenting any argument by any means possible and to stall in the face of overwhelming odds. I guess that’s what General Paulus and his men were doing at the end of this most significant battle in history. Starting with some background which will take us through about four or five initial episodes we’ll deep dive into the battle itself from both the German and the Russian point of view. The first few podcasts will deal with the German invasion of Russia in some detail including the battles for Moscow and Leningrad which predated Stalingrad. We really need to understand Stalingrad through the lens of operation Barbarossa because the German’s failed in their initial invasion which began in June 1941. Then will focus on the preparations in May, June and July 1942 where Hitler decided to target Stalingrad instead of bypassing the city as the 6th Army headed towards the all-important oil producing region in the Caucasus. We know just how the entire Russo-German war of 1941-1945 has resonated down the ages. This battle remains a symbolic event in the minds of modern Russian leaders like Vladimir Putin. By 1940 many citizens inside Russian were fully aware that at some stage the USSR may have to fight Germany after almost a decade of tension between the fascist and the communist states. Stalin and his advisors were buying time before 1941, desperately trying to upgrade the Russian army before an inevitable war between the two ideologies. But they got the timing wrong, with Stalin certain he could lead Hitler on a merry dance of diplomacy until his military production had caught up with the Germans which was estimated to be later in 1942. Time ran out. The terrible struggle in Stalingrad that killed around a million Russians and over eight hundred thousand Germans dwarves most other battles. Leningrad experienced a far longer siege, far more bombing, far more fighting, but Stalingrad is pretty much its own league when it comes to number of dead and the viciousness of the struggle. It is vital to understand present day Russia through the prism of The Great Patriotic War as it’s known and through the understanding of the defence of four main cities. Leningrad which endured a remarkable two years of siege - Moscow the heart of Russia, Sebastopol in the Crimea which was part of Russia’s underbelly, and of course Stalingrad because it symbolized everything that the USSR was endeavouring to advertise. It was a model city, built on manufacturing. Hundreds of thousands of Russians died fighting the Germans in the Crimea and in 2014 Moscow took it back. Don’t underestimate the importance of Sebastopol and this little isthmus in the consciousness of modern Russians. Let’s see why the German invasion of Russia which began in June 1941 seemed to take Joseph Stalin by surprise even after he received more than 80 warnings over the period immediately before the invasion. For the Germans, they took the decision to hide in plain site because Hitler’s operation was just so unbelievable.

  • Bob Dylan

    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.

  • Sir Francis Drake

    26 Apr

    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.

  • Luther: The Man Who Changed the World (Part 1)

    Episode 1

    Luther: The Man Who Changed the World (Part 1)

    The Reformation, launched in 1517, stands as one of the most convulsive and transformative events of all time, shattering Christendom and dividing Europe for centuries. Its outcome determined the fates of Kings and Emperors, and saw the souls of millions consigned to the fiery pit of heresy. The man behind it all was Martin Luther, a humble monk of obscure origins. Bold, intellectually arrogant, and a master of spin, the assault he unleashed on the medieval Church had him excommunicated by the Pope. But what was it about Luther’s humble upbringing in Saxony and his strained relationship with his intimidating father that led him down a path of insolence? And was the religious revolution that he sparked inevitable? Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss the early life of Martin Luther, the apocalyptic environment from which he and his radical ideas emerged, and the Catholic Church he would come to take on… Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor
