Podcasts about 19th century

A player who is remembered as “Jumbo” even though that was neither his name or his shape is described in both complimentary and critical terms, oysters are considered, and one of the greatest shortstops of all time, John Henry Lloyd, Pop, teaches an important lesson about why the past matters, and why his past was especially important. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Victor Hugo was an irredeemable womaniser who fought for the poor, hated the English, and wrote some of the greatest works of literature of the 19th century.

Gen Z Historian Kahlil Greene explains how today's ICE enforcement has chilling parallels to the slave patrols of the 19th Century, designed to hunt human beings for profit and power. Then, Sharon speaks with author Karen Hao to talk about her new book Empire of AI, and why the biggest names in tech aren't just building tools, but chasing a quasi-religious vision of control. Karen reveals how that ideology is reshaping democracy, draining the planet, and quietly harming people right now… but, she says, there are ways to change the future of AI before it gets worse.  If you'd like to submit a question, head to thepreamble.com/podcast – we'd love to hear from you there.

Walk along Stowell Street in Newcastle upon Tyne and turn into St Andrew's Street, and you might notice a plaque on the wall. It marks the site of the house where Tyneside bard Joe Wilson was born - though it's unclear how many people know who Joe Wilson is. There was a resurgence of interest in the 19th-century songwriter a few years ago, particularly thanks to the musical play, The Great Joe Wilson, that toured the north east in 2018. It was a rousing, whistle-stop tour of the bard's short life and songs. But who was he, and why is he important if we're looking at a city through a folklore lens?

In a short, simple, well-loved poem, Dinah Maria Craik names one aspect of friendship that many have found true. A great way to start the new year and launch the season. Find a friend and listen in. Friendship Oh, the comfort— the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person— having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

Historian Sam W. Haynes explains how a convergence of Mexican, Anglo, and indigenous cultures led to instances of conflict and violence from 1821-1879.

In this episode we step back into the era before radio, recorded music, and streaming playlists to an era when the soundtrack of daily life was created by people in their homes at pianos often by flickering light – the 19th century world of parlor songs, love, and courtship.

Trigger Warning - This episode is largely a discussion of the murder ICE committed. And it's our analysis of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises on Thursday - apt companion to the 19th century.

FORGERIES, THE MAINE PENNY, AND ALT-RIGHT APPROPRIATION Colleague Martyn Whittock. Whittock dismisses American rune stones like the Kensington Stone as 19th-century forgeries made to claim land rights, though he accepts the "Maine Penny" as genuine evidence of trade. He concludes by warning against the modern "alt-right" appropriating Viking history to justify racial prejudice and white supremacy narratives. NUMBER 4

Week 39 of Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities Course takes on nineteenth-century American literature—and to my surprise, it became one of the most enjoyable weeks so far. I went in dreading familiar names and old high-school resentments, but came out newly energized. Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (chapters 1–6) was funny, humane, and immediately engaging. Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher and “The Raven” used ornate language to heighten unease, while Emily Dickinson's poems felt weightless and startlingly modern. Henry David Thoreau's Walden was quotable and provocative, if ultimately grating, and Herman Melville surprised me most of all: Bartleby, the Scrivener lingered with quiet power, and the opening of Moby-Dick left me eager for more. This week revealed a real shift in voice and sensibility—and changed my mind about American literature. I'm looking forward to going back and reading more, but first we need to move on to Week 40 and Russian Literature!

Have you ever heard Roman Catholics say that the pope is infallible? It sounds like something they always believed, but in reality, this became their official teaching only in 1870! What did they believe before then, and why did they add this to their list of teachings? And why did the Roman Catholic Church oppose Bible societies? Explore these questions and more with Grace, Sean, and Isaac as they talk with Dr. Leonardo De Chirico, pastor of the church Breccia di Roma, in Rome, Italy, and Vice Chairman of the Italian Evangelical Alliance.   Show Notes https://www.brecciadiroma.it/

In this week's episode, our guest host Maryann Rosen digs into the history of Christmas, and what the holiday meant for early settlers in Nederland. Winters were long and the holidays in the Colorado mountains weren't always merry and bright - especially for the laborers who worked year-round in the historical mines. But the spirit of Christmas always had a way of brightening the harsh lifestyle that came with living in Rockies.

The Oregon Department of Energy, or ODOE, recently published its Oregon Energy Strategy which centers on “decarbonization” by eliminating the generation of fossil fuels in Oregon.ODOE director Janine Benner told the legislature, “It's not a matter of when the energy transition from fossil fuels will occur; It's already happening.”If so, It's proceeding at glacial speed. ODOE's webpage on Oregon's electricity supply shows that, between 2012 and 2024, fossil fuels remain the dominant source of electricity. It's true that wind and solar grew to 11 percent, but only after hundreds of millions in subsidies.What's most concerning today is the reality that wind and solar are intermittent. For engineering reasons, both the supply of and demand for electricity must always be in equilibrium. Sudden drops caused by weather could lead to blackouts.Grid operators need “dispatchable” energy sources. Wind and solar are not dispatchable, making them unsuited for the utility grid—and for the coming century.The energy transition isn't happening because it can't happen. Decarbonization conflicts with the demands of a modern economy. Shutting down coal and gas plants and ending fossil fuel sales would transport us back to the nineteenth century. Oregon's political leaders have embraced energy poverty at a time when electricity demand is skyrocketing. The fuels needed to power new data centers and electric vehicles are nuclear, coal, gas and hydro—none of which are planned to increase in Oregon due to regulations.Welcome to the nineteenth century. Stock up on candles.For the full commentary visit www.cascadepolicy.org

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick delves into Jonathan Frankel's seminal work, Crisis, Revolution, and Russian Jews. We explore how moments of acute crisis—from the Damascus Affair of 1840 to the pogroms of 1881—shaped the political and intellectual life of Jewish communities in the Russian Empire.How did a diaspora community, scattered across Europe and lacking a sovereign state, respond to existential threats? We examine the triadic conflict between traditionalism, liberal assimilation, and the rising tide of Jewish nationalism (Zionism) and socialism. Nick also reflects on the modern parallels of diaspora identity, the tension between integration and distinctiveness, and how persecution acts as a catalyst for political transformation.Key Topics:The Politics of Crisis: How external threats like the Damascus Affair mobilized Jewish solidarity across borders.Assimilation vs. Autonomy: The 19th-century debate between becoming "Russian" or "German" versus maintaining a distinct Jewish identity.The Turning Point of 1881: How the pogroms following the assassination of Alexander II shattered the dreams of integration and fueled the rise of Zionism and the Bund.Primo Levi & Identity: A reflection on how persecution forces identity upon individuals, regardless of their assimilation.Books Mentioned:Crisis, Revolution, and Russian Jews by Jonathan FrankelImagined Communities by Benedict AndersonIf This Is a Man by Primo LeviExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

GMoney welcomes Jonathan Drake for a deep, fast-moving conversation connecting Lysander Spooner's 19th-century natural-law philosophy to Bitcoin's modern proof-of-work revolution. Drake traces his path from homeschooling outsider to Spooner scholar, explaining how Spooner's ideas on property, consent, taxation, and absolute dominion became the missing framework that finally made Bitcoin “click.” Together they break down why the right to self-custody, non-confiscation, and immutable contracts fulfills the anarchist property model Spooner envisioned, and why today's government structures, monetary systems, and voting rituals violate natural law by definition. The discussion ranges from jury nullification, fractional-reserve fraud, and the Civil War's monetary triggers to Q-era decentralization, Trump-era regulatory shifts, and Bitcoin's emergence as the first tool capable of dismantling the proof-of-stake tyranny Spooner warned about. Blending philosophy, history, rebellion, and Bitcoin maximalism, this episode shows how a forgotten abolitionist gave language to the digital 1776 unfolding now.

7/8. The Snowy Egret, The Emperor Penguin, and the Climate Canary — Steven Moss — Moss describes the beautiful Snowy Egret, nearly driven to extinction during 19th-century "plumage wars," when its feathers, priced equivalently to gold, were harvested for women's millinery fashion. Moss emphasizes that the resulting systemic cruelty toward birds catalyzed women to establish conservation organizations including the Audubon Society. Moss identifies climate change as the current existential threat, exemplified by the Emperor Penguin, facing projected 98% extinction by 2100 due to habitat loss from sea ice decline. Moss characterizes the penguin, alongside migratory warblers affected by phenological mismatches with earlier insect emergence, as a "miner's canary" providing early warning of impending ecological and climate catastrophe confronting humanity. 1914

So far America is pretty hostile to everyday hunting - but for some reason we keep adding categories.And lets face it, for a country that keeps talking about how we don't need roaylty, we do seem to keep mimicking aritocrats.the early 19th century loves some fox hunting - so much so that we imported foxes (even though there are plenty already here).  Hunting keeps happening everyday - but we like to say it's not cool.Unless you are doing it for leisure... or to earn money.Yes - the early 19th century brings the birth of the Market Hunter - which needed the railroad to create itself.The Buffalo may cease to roam - and the Passenger Pigeon darken the skies by the end of the century - but the seeds of their destruction are planted here... at the start of the 19th cenutry.But worry not, it's not all bad news - you can still get a giant game pie.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood

Nolan shares the story of how the site was investigated, what artifacts reveal about life on the move, and why these places remain important today.In the second half, our discussion broadens to post-1492 archaeology across Nebraska, what makes it distinct, what challenges archaeologists face in preserving and interpreting recent pasts, and why connecting communities to these stories continues to matter.Transcriptshttps://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/great-plains-archaeology/30Plains 30 TranscriptLinksNolan Johnson's Team Bio at Nebraska State Historical SocietyArchaeology at the Beaver Creek Trail Crossing SiteFort Atkinson State Historical Park WebsiteComanche Meeting the DragoonsThe Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.

There have been enigmatic aerial phenomena reported across the ages, shadowy forms gliding through the heavens that challenge our understanding of the possible, often manifesting as elongated vessels resembling colossal cigars or cylinders, silent and deliberate in their passage. From biblical accounts of fiery chariots descending upon ancient lands to the phantom airships that haunted the American West in the late 19th century, these sightings have sparked debates about secret human inventions, natural illusions, or intelligences from distant stars. Yet, in the frozen isolation of Soviet Siberia, where vast taiga forests conceal secrets and the weight of authoritarian silence stifles inquiry, a cluster of such encounters near the scarred site of history's most mysterious explosion invites profound speculation about what may lurk in the remote heavens.This tale ventures into the remote wilderness surrounding the Tunguska River, a landscape forever marked by the cataclysmic blast of 1908 and later whispered to be a focal point for otherworldly visitations amid the Cold War's veil of secrecy. It encompasses thunderous detonations without craters, massive rotating cylinders birthing fleets of discs, and a witness whose path wove through the gulag's brutality and encounters with forgotten prisoners. At its essence is the 1953 observations of Benjamin Dodin, a gulag inmate whose detailed accounts of these craft not only defied Soviet orthodoxy but also suggested technologies transcending earthly bounds, prompting questions about whether these were clandestine prototypes, extraterrestrial scouts, or autonomous emissaries from multiple cosmic origins surveying our world.Soviet citizens chronicled cigar-esque forms exhibiting physics-defying maneuvers. A 1965 submarine crew beheld a 200-meter entity submerging silently, sonar hissing briefly. 1915 Volga apparitions aligned with wartime Zeppelins, but 1896 San Francisco's ovate craft with voices and searchlights predated known airships.www.mydarkpath.com/76-cigar-shaped-craftRead MF Thomas' novels Like Clockwork https://amzn.to/417lOzyArcade https://amzn.to/4aTpisxA Sickness in Time https://amzn.to/41apSPKSeeing by Moonlight ...

6. The Cormorant and the Guano Trade: Wealth, Exploitation, and Intensive Farming AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This section covers Cormorant guano, a highly prized fertilizer known to the Incas. In the 19th century, shipping guano from arid Peruvian islands made British businessman William Gibbs the wealthiest commoner in England. Tragically, this wealth was built upon the exploitation and deaths of Chinese indentured laborers. The guano boom (1840-1870) ended, leading to the invention of synthetic fertilizers (Haber-Bosch process), which enabled intensive farming that caused wildlife decline in Britain and North America. 1838

. The Snowy Egret and Emperor Penguin: Conservation, Fashion, and Climate Crisis AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This final excerpt discusses the slaughter of the Snowy Egret for its feathers during the 19th-century "plumage wars," driven by high fashion. The extreme cruelty galvanized women to form conservation societies, such as the Audubon Society. The murder of warden Guy Bradley, who was protecting the birds, helped end the industry. The conversation concludes with the Emperor Penguin, which is facing massive population loss (estimated 98% by 2100) due to the climate crisis and serves as the "miner's canary" warning humanity of impending doom.

In 1856, after yet another day of disappointing experiments, a chemist named William Henry Perkin was cleaning up his glassware when he made a discovery that would harken a new — and colorful — era of science and industry. Just 18 years old, Perkin was a promising young student in a prestigious lab at the Royal College of Chemistry in London and he was supposed to be figuring out a way to make a chemical compound called quinine. Despite his best efforts, Perkin was coming up empty — or rather — producing a lot of dirty dishes with little to show for it. But he did notice that there was a curious goop in one of his flasks, and it turned a brilliant shade of purple in the wash. Intrigued, Perkin decided to try dyeing a swatch of silk with his serendipitous solution. Although he had failed yet again to produce quinine, Perkin had created the very first synthetic dye and launched a scientific industry that is still bringing new drugs and dyes to market today.Send us your science facts, news, or other stories for a chance to be featured on an upcoming Tiny Show and Tell Us bonus episode.

HEADLINE: Polynesian Navigation Techniques and the Voyage of John Williams AUTHOR NAME: Nicholas Thomas SUMMARY: Professor Nicholas Thomas introduces his book, Voyagers, discussing 19th-century missionary John Williams's encounter with Chief Rono Matani. Matani demonstrated that proper course setting required departing from a specific, knowledge-based point on an island, utilizing landmarks. Once out of sight of land, Polynesians maintained course using specific rising stars, compensating for currents and wind through subtle environmental understanding. 1899 FIJI

Women's History, Episode #4 of 4. Today we're exploring one of Texas's most enduring legends - the story of the "Yellow Rose of Texas" and her supposed role in the Battle of San Jacinto. We are going to unravel the myth of “The Yellow Rose of Texas.” We will explore the woman at the heart of the tale, Emily D. West, who was a free woman of color working in Texas, and untangle her real life from the Texan myth. We will also unravel how Emily's tale was erroneously tied to the song, “The Yellow Rose of Texas.” Select Bibliography Jeffrey D.
