[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 452
Podcasts are a great development in the history of radio because they permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion. I do it while “power walking” (most) every morning when weather and my own psyche permit. Indeed, were it not for podcasts I doubt I would have found any other inspiration for putting in these miles as long as I have. Hence…Podding Along! Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. While there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have been vetted though the worthy objectives of the medium. Furthermore, I personally curate this continuing series of small samplings that are listed in more or less 90 minute helpings. Admittedly that makes these recommendations somewhat subjective. But, as you will see, my interests are many and my tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty wide-ranging. I hope you will find these suggestions helpful in enhancing your enjoyment of radio. __ __ “Bruce Shapiro's America, the morality of mercenaries in war and the history of the afterlife” LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC RN (Radio National) President Biden steps up his inflammatory Russia rhetoric, the legalities of the use of mercenaries in conflicts and the curious history of heaven, hell and everything in between.

This agreement has since become popularly known as the Treaty of Kadesh and described as the oldest recorded peace treaty that survives to this day, said to have followed a great chariot battle with Egypt in 1274 BC near the Orontes River in northern Syria.

Its roots go back to the defining event of Ukraine's modern history: the Holodomor, or "hunger-extermination" of the 1930s. Ukraine in 1932 was a satellite of the Soviet Union, one that had long been struggling to find its place as an independent republic in the U.S.S.R. In that year and the one following, Joseph Stalin closed the borders and seized the harvest — almost five million tonnes.

Banknotes could be exchanged for gold at central banks, the coins in circulation could be gold (as with the sovereign in the image above, initially worth £1), gold could be freely imported and exported, and many national currencies around the world were tied to gold and so to each other. The idea began in Britain, where sterling was seen as good as gold, and when other countries rushed to the Gold Standard the confidence in their currencies grew, and world trade took off and, for a century, gold was seen as a vital component of the world economy, supporting stability and confidence. The system came with constraints on government ability to respond to economic crises, though, and has been blamed for deepening and prolonging the Great Depression of the 1930s.

What does that mean for movies? Today's Hollywood blockbusters are specifically being crafted to appeal to Chinese audiences — and pass muster with the Chinese government — according to Wall Street Journal reporter Erich Schwartzel. He highlights a few notable situations of product placement: In the 2014 film Transformers: Age of Extinction, Mark Wahlberg's character withdraws money from a China Construction Bank ATM — while in Texas. In another scene from the same film, a character buys Chinese protein powder at a Chicago convenience store. And just 10 days after its release, Age of Extinction became the highest grossing film of all time in China. The movie has since been overtaken at the box office by a string of other blockbusters, but Schwartzel says its influence lingers. Schwartzel has trained his eye to spot what he calls "Chinese elements" in movies: "You'll start to see it everywhere," he says. "I go to the movies now and I can see the Chinese cell phone — even if it's blurred in the frame.” In his new book, "Red Carpet: Hollywood, China and the Global Battle for Cultural Supremacy", Schwartzel writes about China's growing influence on Hollywood. He contends that China has watched as Hollywood films helped sell America to the world — and it wants to do the same.

We experience consciousness intimately, and yet in many ways it remains ungraspable. What is consciousness? Why do we have it? How can the physical stuff of the world give rise to something as mysterious as first-person experience? Philosophy, science and contemplative traditions have all struggled with these questions - and this week, we're talking about a new Centre for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies that brings these disciplines together.

Wish we had one of those Star Trek universal translators. The programming must be compelling and the way it’s being presented sounds almost like there’s nothing dire going on.

Although arguments for temperance had been made throughout the British Isles beforehand, the story of the organised movement in Britain is often said to have started in 1832 in Preston, when Joseph Livesey and seven others gave a pledge to abstain. The movement grew quickly, with Temperance Halls appearing as new social centres in towns in place of pubs, and political parties being drawn into taking sides either to support abstinence or impose it or reject it.

Jamie Raskin is not giving up” FRESH AIR - NPR and WHYY Philadelphia A year ago, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., experienced two unimaginable traumas in the span of a single week. On New Year's Eve 2020, his son Tommy, 25, died by suicide after years of fighting mental illness. Then, on Jan. 6, 2021, just a day after Tommy's funeral, Raskin was at work in the U.S. Capitol with his daughter and son-in-law when a violent mob stormed the building in an attempt to overturn the results of the presidential election. In his new memoir, Unthinkable, Raskin reflects on his continuing efforts to understand those two traumatic events. There was a time, he says, when "I wasn't sure whether I was ever going to be able to do anything again." Then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., asked him to serve as the lead manager in the second impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. Looking back now, Raskin sees Pelosi's request as a lifeline. "I was forced to galvanize all of my love for Tommy and my daughters, Hannah and Tabitha, and my wife, Sarah, and our family and our country, and to throw myself into the trial to make the case that Donald Trump had incited this violent insurrection in an effort to overthrow the 2020 presidential election," Raskin says.

That is the question,' said philosopher Martin Heidegger. "Nothing," it turns out, is really quite something. As in the concept of nothingness. So much so, that in the 1920s, a debate about "nothing" between two philosophers led to a lasting schism in Western philosophy. The two thinkers were Martin Heidegger and Rudolf Carnap. On the one hand, Heidegger plays with language in an attempt to talk about nothing. On the other, Carnap claims the dictates of logic reduce any talk of nothing to nonsense. And their conflicting views on nothing catalyzed what's now known as the 'continental-analytic split' in philosophy. The clash between Heidegger's playfulness with Carnap's logic raises some big questions: just what is philosophy? Is it closer to art or science? And can anything be done to bridge the chasm opened by Heidegger and Carnap.

It was an experiment that could never be performed in a lab, and had never before been documented. And it became a testament to the eternal tug between nature and nurture in shaping who we are. Psychologist Nancy Segal tells the story of the Bogotá twins, which was a tragedy, a soap opera, and a science experiment, all rolled into one. And she explains why twin studies aren't just for twins. They can serve as a paradigm to understand age-old questions that affect us all: Is our fate written in our genes? And how powerful is upbringing in shaping who we become?

Founded in Oakland California in 1966, the Black Panther Party represented a revolutionary disavowal of mainstream Civil Rights. Its Ten Point Programme advanced a series of radical demands ranging from the right to armed resistance against police violence to universal healthcare, housing and education for the poorest sections of the black community. While Martin Luther King argued for tactical non-violence and full integration, the Panthers carried guns and were resolutely internationalist, drawing instead on the philosophy of Malcolm X, Karl Marx and the African liberation movement. The media image of the Panthers, of the glowering, gun toting, leather jacket-clad revolutionary, still dominates - it was highly stylised, coded to alarm white America, and members did indeed receive munitions and weapons training. Armed confrontation with the police and SWAT teams ensued. But a good deal of their work was dedicated to grass-roots and community outreach work - food programs, schooling and crèche support, raising funds for legal aid, prison welfare reform. The reasons for the Panthers’ siege mentality and harrowing decline in the early 1970s are still contested: factional splits and trauma within the Party and internecine violence, but also huge pressure from without, police raids, FBI infiltration and the Nixon government pledging a platform of national law and order. Hearing from former Panthers (including Party founder Bobby Seale) critics and scholars, broadcaster and writer Dorian Warren explores the different dimensions of the Black Panther Party. Fifty years after its foundation the Black Panther Party still casts a long shadow - in 2016 The Black Lives Matter coalition released a Six Point Platform for Black Power, Freedom and Justice, explicitly evoking the Panthers’ original 1966 Ten Point Programme.

It has generated 2500 ideas for change but also a boycott by protesters. In 2019 the UN's Secretary General António Guterres highlighted ways in which the global food system was breaking down: hundreds of millions of people going hungry, billions more overweight or obese and tonnes of food being wasted. These problems were also obstacles in the way of reaching the 2030 target for the Sustainable Development Goals which includes zero hunger. This year's food systems summit was designed to find solutions to these problems.

Some believers would look for signs that civilization was declining, such as wars and natural disasters, or for new Roman Empires that would harbour the Antichrist, and from these predict the time of the Rapture. Darby helped establish the Plymouth Brethren, and later his ideas were picked up in the Scofield Reference Bible (1909) and soon became influential, particularly in the USA.

[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 412
Podcasts are a great development in the history of radio because they permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion. I do it while “power walking” (most) every morning when weather and my own psyche permit. Indeed, were it not for podcasts I doubt I would have found any other inspiration for putting in these miles as long as I have. Hence…Podding Along! Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. While there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have been vetted though the worthy objectives of the medium. Furthermore, I personally curate this continuing series of small samplings that are listed in more or less 90 minute helpings. Admittedly that makes these recommendations somewhat subjective. But, as you will see, my interests are many and my tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty wide-ranging.

But there are entire generations of people who grew up when the popular conception of autism was a far cry from how it’s now understood. It meant a whole host of people who grew up feeling like they didn’t fit in, but never quite knowing why. They were autistic, but undiagnosed. And when a diagnosis did come as an adult – it was often revelatory and life-changing.

Broadcaster and director Sir Jonathan Miller, one of the greatest minds of his generation, believed the most important cognitive function humans possess is memory. Without it, you can’t learn or know who or where you are. Without a functioning memory, you wouldn't be able to recognise, recall or retrieve a thing. In fact, without it, you simply wouldn't exist. Tragically, Jonathan died of Alzheimer’s in 2019 before he got to make the one series he’d always wanted to present on the workings of human memory. In this programme, William Miller embarks on a journey to uncover the story of his father’s life as told through his extensive archive, and pieces together the documentary Jonathan was going to make with his producer, Richard Denton, that would have explored memory – what it is, where it is and how our memories define us. He talks to family and friends who share their own memories of Jonathan, including his Beyond the Fringe co-star Alan Bennett. And he seeks to learn more about Alzheimer’s, the disease that killed his grandmother and father and still haunts his family today. Writer and television producer William Miller is the author of the bestselling memoir about growing up with his father, 'Gloucester Crescent: Me, My Dad and Other Grown Ups'.

[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 399
Podcasts are a great development in the history of radio because they permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion. I do it while “power walking” (most) every morning when weather and my own psyche permit. Indeed, were it not for podcasts I doubt I would have found any other inspiration for putting in these miles as long as I have. Hence…Podding Along! Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. While there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have been vetted though the worthy objectives of the medium. Furthermore, I personally curate this continuing series of small samplings that are listed in more or less 90 minute helpings. Admittedly that makes these recommendations somewhat subjective.

It is eagerly sought after. The men in the street, the ordinary people, aspire to know it. King and leaders vie for it.” He noted that while on the surface, history may seem like a mere collection of facts or information for entertaining crowds at parties, a close study of it could show how "certain dynasties came to occupy an ever wider space in the world, and how they settled the earth until they heard the call and their time was up.” It's this theory of civilization — how societies form and how they decline — that set his most famous book, Muqaddimah, apart from anything that came before it. Ibn Khaldun was a 14th century North African scholar widely regarded as the first in many disciplines — sociology, history, economics — even Ronald Reagan referred to Ibn Khaldun as a precursor to Adam Smith.

It was as revolutionary, in his view, as when the Polish astronomer Copernicus realised that Earth revolves around the Sun rather than the Sun around Earth. Kant's was an insight into how we understand the world around us, arguing that we can never know the world as it is, but only through the structures of our minds which shape that understanding. This idea, that the world depends on us even though we do not create it, has been one of Kant’s greatest contributions to philosophy and influences debates to this day.

Everybody is encouraged to have an opinion and everybody – in the vernacular of countless motivation speakers – is encouraged to be the “hero of their own story”.

[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 390
Podcasts are a great development in this history of radio because they permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion. I do it while “power walking” (most) every morning when weather and my own psyche permit. Indeed, were it not for podcasts I doubt I would have found any other inspiration for putting in these miles as long as I have. Hence…Podding Along! Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. While there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have been vetted though the worthy objectives of the medium. Furthermore, I personally curate this continuing series of small samplings that are listed in more or less 90 minute helpings. Admittedly that makes these recommendations somewhat subjective. But, as you will see, my interests are many and my tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty wide-ranging. I hope you will find these suggestions helpful in enhancing your enjoyment of radio. __ __ “Antarctica, the Big Dead Place” EARSHOT - ABC RN (Radio National) In the late '90s when the charismatic, young American, Nicholas Johnson took up a position in waste management at McMurdo Station in Antarctica he imagined incredible adventures within a pristine landscape. Instead he discovered boredom and bureaucracy, all within the confines of a station resembling a dirty old mining town. Soon after arriving Johnson started documenting life at McMurdo Station in an anonymously written satirical newsletter, Big Dead Place which he would secretly leave around the station. Described as the M*A*S*H or Wikileaks of Antarctica, Big Dead Place contradicted most literature written about life on the ice. So what is it really like to work at America's largest Antarctic base?

Kosciuszko was born in what is today Belarus, trained as an engineer in Poland and France and went on to become one of the important military players in the American War of Independence. This was when he wasn’t pursuing his dream of a free Polish republic against the might of a conservative aristocracy and neighbouring Russian and Prussian armies. Or campaigning against slavery and feudalism. Testimonials like that of Jefferson’s lauding his humility, energy and high moral principles flowed from around the world. He was toasted as a celebrity in London by the likes of Keats and Coleridge. In the USA and Europe there are bridges, statues and monuments in his name. And yet today Kosciuszko is relatively unknown outside of Poland. Rajan Datar aims to change that with the aid of three Kosciuszko experts: Dr. Betsey Blakeslee, President of the Friends of the American Revolution at West Point, an organisation that works to preserve the fortifications Kosciuszko designed and built at West Point. She earned her PhD in American Studies at the University of Maryland; Kamil Ruszala, Assistant Professor of History at Jagiellonian University in Kraków whose research focuses on the modern history of Central Europe; and writer and Pulitzer-prize-winning journalist Alex Storozynski, Chairman of the Board of the Kosciuszko Foundation and author of Kosciuszko's biographies both in a book and film form.

The only way to deal with a serious case of toothache was to call on the services of blacksmiths, travelling showmen or so-called barber-surgeons, all of whom had a sideline in tooth extraction. But in 1728, French physician Pierre Fauchard published the first complete scientific description of dentistry and he is credited as being “the father of modern dentistry”. His book, Le Chirurgien Dentiste or The Surgeon Dentist, was translated into several languages. Joining Rajan Datar to discuss the painful and sometimes gruesome history of humans and their teeth are Dr. Scott Swank of the National Museum of Dentistry in Baltimore, US; Rachel Bairsto, Head of Museum Services at the British Dental Association and Professor Dominik Gross of RWTH Aachen University in Germany.

And who were the early engineers whose major contributions to car design deserve to be better known? These are some of the questions that Bridget Kendall asks three automotive experts: writer and broadcaster Giles Chapman is the award-winning author of 55 books on car history, culture and design; Larry Edsall also has many automotive books to his name; he has written about cars for many American newspapers and is founding editor at ClassicCars.com; and Gundula Tutt is a leading German restorer of historic vehicles whose work graces many public and private museums.

More than 80 people were killed – most of them schoolgirls. It was in an area west of the city, home to many from the minority Hazara community, often targeted for attack. Lyse Doucet talked to some of the survivors and heard of their anger at the failure to protect them. In East Jerusalem, a battle over property has channelled long-held tensions and unresolved grievances. In the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood, protestors have been trying to stop Israel evicting eight Palestinian families. Israel’s Supreme Court has delayed a hearing on the evictions, but the case, along with complaints of heavy-handed policing of the Al Aqsa compound during Ramadan, ignited the recent round of violence in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel. Paul Adams visited the streets at the heart of the dispute. Indonesia's capital Jakarta is one of the world’s most polluted cities. Now some of its residents have launched a court case trying to push the government to clean up its atmosphere. Rebecca Henschke, who lived in the city for over a decade, reports on their fight to breathe more easily. For now, Portugal is one of the places British tourists can go without quarantining and the hospitality industry in the Algarve is eager to welcome them back. Nick Beake spoke to local businesspeople hoping to get back in gear. Emma Jane Kirby has reported for the BBC from across Europe and beyond – in settings ranging from the glitz of the Cote d’Azur to the squalor of Sangatte.

Best known for Brighton Rock, The Quiet American, The Heart of the Matter and his film The Third Man, he was the author of both literary novels and thrillers, as well as nonfiction, memoirs and screenplays. Pope Paul VI was a fan of his work. He made the cover of Timemagazine with his controversial 1951 novel The End of the Affair. Greene's restless spirit and political engagement frequently took him to the world's hotspots — in Africa, Central America, Southeast Asia and beyond. Up to his death at 86, in 1991, he witnessed, and wrote about, the key events of modern history. From his early psychoanalysis, to his conversion to Catholicism, his work with British Intelligence and his tormented love affairs, his life was as complicated and eventful as his fiction. Graham Greene is the subject of a new biography, The Unquiet Englishman: A Life of Graham Greene, by Canadian poet and editor Richard Greene. Greene previously edited Graham Greene: A Life in Letters and is also the author of a biography of Edith Sitwell. Richard Greene spoke to Eleanor Wachtel from his home in Toronto.

Even today, the death toll remains unknown. In fact, for generations, most people—including many Tulsans—did not know about the massacre at all. This year marks its hundredth anniversary, and it is being commemorated with documentaries, official events in Tulsa, and one very unusual rap album: "Fire in Little Africa," which comes out in May on Motown Records. It features about forty rappers, and thirty other singers, musicians, and producers who tell the story of Greenwood at its height—and of their dreams of a revitalized Black Tulsa.

The rigours of isolation, the sense that we alone are responsible for our success, the loss of connection that comes from just trying to cope — they all conspire to strip our lives of enchantment. Opportunities to be fascinated or awestruck can be rare. This diminution can lead many of us to look to other places, or even other worlds, to bring back some sense of higher purpose and deeper meaning. Wildly successful books like Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love chronicle that yearning, holding out the promise of contentment through accessing ancient wisdoms. That promise is often built around products and places that guarantee a shortcut to enlightenment. Welcome to the mystical marketplace — a place where Western seekers can turn to Eastern traditions to find some kind of healing for the ailments of modernity. Sophia Rose Arjana is a professor of religious studies at Western Kentucky University and says that while the seeking out of enchantment is a key characteristic of the loneliness of modern life, the challenge of the mystical marketplace —which includes a broad range of products and activities including festivals and experiences and wellness tourism — is that the healing journey of western consumers means the "dumbing down" of ancient traditions and beliefs.

It's arguable that he started even before then, because in the portfolio of drawings he would have brought with him are some of his most startling self-portraits — sketches and etchings — showing him laughing, crying, angry, the entire gamut of emotions. Something like the sketch above would have been a standard exercise for art students of the time, but Rembrandt turns a simple exercise into an art form of its own. We look into his eyes, and catch him looking back, 400 years later. 'Who do you think you are?' he seems to be asking us — a question we all ask ourselves.

The screens on our devices allow us to communicate in any number of quick, cheap but silent ways.These modern technologies are very useful, which is why they are so ubiquitous, but are they taking something from us that is deeply human?

She argues that their rhetoric and slogans have cleverly smuggled legitimate concerns about the welfare of children into a baseless and dangerous set of entirely false claims about the nature of child trafficking. What role have social media sites dominated by women played in the circulation of QAnon theories and how can they be challenged? Also, Nina Jankowitz, Global Disinformation Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars, examines Russia’s role in the spread of disinformation, not only in the USA but also in Eastern and Central Europe. What lessons can be learned from these experiences? She argues that the best types of disinformation are able to amplify and exploit the already existing divisions in society, including racism and inequality in the US context.

In a story spanning millennia, she illuminates the role of the bed through time, reminding us that it was not always simply a private space for sleep, sex and relaxation; it's also been a place for sharing with strangers, issueing decrees, even taking us to the afterlife. Also, the rise and fall of twin beds for couples. Hilary Hinds, Professor of English Literature at Lancaster University , charts shifting attitudes towards separate sleeping. Whereas it was once seen as the sign of a modern, hygiene conscious and forward thinking relationship, it came to be regarded as the enemy of intimacy. Why did so many couples abandon a sleeping arrangement which used to be regarded as one of the keys to re-imagining domestic relations, promoting equality between the sexes and personal autonomy?

Now at Durham, Cuthbert was buried first on Lindisfarne in 687AD, where monks shared vivid stories of his sanctifying miracles, his healing, and his power over nature, and his final tomb became a major site of pilgrimage. In his lifetime he was both hermit and kingmaker, bishop and travelling priest, and the many accounts we have of him, including two by Bede, tell us much of the values of those who venerated him so soon after his death.

The bacterium behind the Black Death has since been found on human remains from that time, and the symptoms described were the same, and evidence of this plague has since been traced around the Mediterranean and from Syria to Britain and Ireland.

Universities closed and the students formed Red Guard factions to attack the 'four olds' - old ideas, culture, habits and customs - and they also turned on each other, with mass violence on the streets and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Over a billion copies of Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book were printed to support his cult of personality, before Mao himself died in 1976 and the revolution came to an end.

In ancient China, for example, there was a story that a dragon was eating the sun and it had to be scared away by banging pots and pans if the sun were to return.

In a wide-ranging conversation, Biden compares his position—should he win—to that of Franklin Roosevelt: taking office during a disaster, he argues, he would have an opportunity to effect a hugely ambitious agenda, but one driven by pragmatism rather than ideology. Rick Perlstein, the author of a four-volume history of modern conservatism, addresses the question of whether Donald Trump is an aberration or a continuation. And our fashion correspondent walks David Remnick through hot trends in this season’s must-have accessory, the face mask.

The more tests a patient undergoes, the bigger the bill. Vivian Lee, a radiologist and healthcare executive, says this fee-for-service business model needs to be reconsidered. "You're rewarding people doing things to other people. And actually, in many cases, you're rewarding that regardless of whether it actually improves a person's health. So as long as you do a lot of procedures, as long as you poke and prod patients and do more colonoscopies or operations or administer expensive chemotherapeutic agents, the more you do to them, the more money you make.” Lee is the author of The Long Fix: Solving America's Health Care Crisis With Strategies that Work for Everyone.On this episode of Hidden Brain, Lee joins us to examine how American medicine became so profit driven, and to discuss ways to reach the best health outcomes at the lowest price.

The epiphany came to him in the cafeteria. "We had a new cashier in the line that day," he said. "And when I got to the cashier's desk she asked me for, I think it was $1.25. That was the first time that anybody had ever asked me to pay for my lunch because I'd always been on free lunch." Keith had been blissfully unaware that many of his classmates were paying for their meals every day. But now, he began comparing himself with his peers. "It's not like I was poorer the day after that than I was before. Nothing objective had changed. But because of that subjective awareness, now everything seemed different to me." Keith Payne is now a social psychologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He's the author of The Broken Ladder: How Inequality Affects the Way We Think, Live, and Die. He says it's human nature to compare ourselves to others. But that instinct can cause psychological stress.

[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 351
Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion. I do it while “power walking” (most) every morning. The act of putting one foot in front of the other can be pretty monotonous and by “podding along” while plodding along the mind also gets something useful to do. So it can be with the time spent gardening, washing dishes, preparing meals and many other day to day activities. Podcasting has grown to the point that it can justly be considered a medium all its own. Therefore, the attempt here has to be to highlight only a small portion of it, just one corner where excellence reigns. Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. Apart from the originating program’s web site, most programs are made available through any number of other amalgamation sources such as iTunes and TuneIn. This continuing series of small samplings in more or less 90 minute helpings are curated by me. I attest to the fact that I have listened to every podcast listed here. So admittedly these are thoroughly subjective recommendations. But my interests and tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty wide-ranging, even if I do say so myself. __ __ “The US Presidential Election?” BEYOND BELIEF - BBC Radio 4 There is no doubt that religion plays a large part in US Presidential Elections. Donald Trump is supported by the religious right which includes white evangelicals and conservative Catholics, whilst Joe Biden appeals to more liberal Catholics and Protestants and to the majority of black voters. Which raises two interesting questions. Why do white evangelical Christians vote for a man whose lifestyle is at odds with their moral principles? And how is Joe Biden going to persuade fellow Catholics to vote for him when his pro-choice views in the abortion debate clash with the teachings of his Church? To unpick the intricacies of the religious vote in the upcoming Presidential Election, Ernie Rea is joined by four experts: Sarah Posner, whose most recent book is ‘Unholy: Why White Evangelicals Worship at the Altar of Donald Trump’; Jane Little, a former Religious Affairs Correspondent for the BBC who now commentates on Religion and Politics in the United States; Christopher White; the National Correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter; and Anthea Butler, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. (28”) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000msw1 “Pericles” IN OUR TIME - BBC Radio 4 Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Pericles (495-429BC), the statesman who dominated the politics of Athens for thirty years, the so-called Age of Pericles, when the city’s cultural life flowered, its democracy strengthened as its empire grew, and the Acropolis was adorned with the Parthenon. In 431 BC he gave a funeral oration for those Athenians who had already died in the new war with Sparta which has been celebrated as one of the greatest speeches of all time, yet within two years he was dead from a plague made worse by Athenians crowding into their city to avoid attacks. Thucydides, the historian, knew him and was in awe of him, yet few shared that view until the nineteenth century, when they found much in Pericles to praise, an example for the Victorian age. With: Edith Hall, Professor of Classics at King's College London; Paul Cartledge, AG Leventis Senior Research Fellow at Clare College, University of Cambridge; and Peter Liddel, Senior Lecturer in Ancient History at the University of Manchester.

Within 100 milliseconds of seeing someone for the first time, you could assess everything from whether you share a cultural or racial identity with a stranger to the width of their jaw. Before you even talk to them for the first time, you have already made a judgement about how trustworthy they are. Sometimes you make this decision before you even see the person. In an era when trust in organisations and strangers is falling, what can this teach us about how and why we trust?

This continuing series of small samplings in more or less 90 minute helpings are curated by me. I have listened to every podcast listed here, so admittedly these are thoroughly subjective recommendations. But I hope you will find that my interests and tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty wide-ranging and that this alone will make many of these suggestions of interest to you as well. As always, good listening! __ __ “Has COVID-19 signalled the end of the American era?” LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC RN Has COVID-19 signalled the end of the American era?
