This episode continues the story of the Italo-Greek War following the disastrous Italian invasion of Greece in late October 1940. After the Italian defeat at Kalpaki, the Greeks launched a counteroffensive that quickly pushed Italian forces back across the border and into Albania, capturing the city of Korce and taking over 10,000 prisoners. The episode examines the Italian leadership shake-ups that followed, with General Soddu replacing Prasca and Marshal Badoglio being publicly scapegoated before his replacement by Cavallero. As winter set in, both armies suffered terribly from frostbite and harsh conditions that made offensive operations nearly impossible. The RAF arrived in limited numbers but disappointed Greek hopes for major air support, while the Royal Hellenic Air Force performed the remarkable Engineers' Epic, moving aircraft 26 kilometers through blizzard conditions to preserve their fighting strength. The episode concludes with the death of Greek leader Metaxas in January 1941 and his replacement by Koryzis, whose willingness to accept British ground forces would set the stage for the war's expansion beyond a regional Greco-Italian conflict.

As Germany conquered countries in WWII, in many nations, they found willing volunteers to help them identify Jews to send to concentration camps. However, not every country did. Finland, Bulgaria, and Albania engaged in a spirited defense of their Jewish communities in the face of Nazi oppression.  However, no country did more to save its Jewish population than Denmark.

It was a simple honeymoon photo from 1941. A stranger posted it online and the commentary was vicious. The woman in that picture was Albanian author Lea Ypi's grandmother. In the midst of the Second World War and the violent end times of Mussolini's government, Ypi's grandmother must have been a fascist, a collaborator, a traitor to Albania. In her book, Indignity: A Life Reimagined, Ypi attempts to find the truth of her grandmother's life, in a journey that mixes philosophy, fantasy, history, and family narrative.

In October 1940, Mussolini launched an invasion of Greece from Albania, determined to secure Italian expansion in the Balkans before any peace could be negotiated. This episode examines the lead-up to the Italo-Greek War, beginning with Greece under the Metaxas dictatorship and its efforts to build up military strength despite limited industrial capacity. We explore Italy's decision to target Greece after delays in North Africa, the flawed assumptions Italian leaders held about Greek willingness to fight, and the fabricated provocations used to justify the invasion. When the Italian ultimatum was delivered at 3AM on October 28th, Metaxas famously rejected it, and Greece mobilized with unexpected unity as political divisions evaporated overnight. The episode follows the opening days of the invasion, hampered by torrential rains and mountainous terrain, culminating in the Battle of Kalpaki on November 2nd where Greek artillery devastated Italian tank attacks. By November 8th, the Italian offensive had completely stalled, forcing a major reorganization and change of command that set the stage for further failures to come.

Albanske Lea Ypi har en egen evne til å flette sammen personlig og politisk historie, og utforske hvordan vi mennesker formes av samfunnet og ideologiene rundt oss. Det gjorde hun på mesterlig vis i memoarboka Fri. En oppvekst ved historiens ende (2021). Her skildrer hun sin egen oppvekst under Enver Hoxhas sosialistiske regime siste halvdel av 1900-tallet, etterfulgt av statens sammenbrudd og borgerkrig.Enkeltmennesket og den store historien er temaet også i den nye boka hennes Uverdighet. Overlevelse i en ekstrem tidsalder (til norsk ved Inger Sverreson Holmes). Et ukjent bilde av bestemoren på bryllupsreise i Mussolinis Italia, dukker plutselig opp på sosiale medier og kaster om på det Lea Ypi trodde hun visste om familien. Var bestemoren fascist-kollaboratør? Eller kanskje en kommunistisk spion?Det blir startskuddet for en undersøkelse av bestemorens liv, som tar Ypi med tilbake til det ottomanske riket, til Hellas og etter hvert et Albania under skiftende styrer og okkupasjonsmakter.Lea Ypi er professor i politisk teori og filosofi ved London School of Economics. Fri ble varmt mottatt både av kritikere og lesere, og er oversatt til 30 språk.Forfatter og journalist Simen Ekern har gitt ut flere bøker om europeisk og italiensk politikk og historie. Nå møter han Ypi til samtale om enkeltmennesket og den store historien. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Albanian Lea Ypi has a talent for combining the personal and the political in history, exploring how we are all shaped by the societies and ideologies surrounding us. In her memoir Free. A Child and a Country at the End of History, she skillfully portrays her own childhood during the socialist regime of Enver Hoxha in the latter half of the 20th century, followed by the state's collapse and civil war.Ordinary humans in the midst of history is also the focus in her new book, Indignity: A Life Reimagined. An unknown photopgrah of her grandmother honeymooning in Mussolini's Italy pops up on social media, making Ypi question everything she thought she knew about her family. Was her grandmother a Nazi collaborator? Or perhaps a Communist spy?This is the beginning of a thorough examination of her grandmothers life, one that takes Ypi back to the Ottoman empire, to Greece and then Albania through alternating regimes and occupants.Lea Ypi is a professor of political theory and philosophy at the London School of Economics. Her book Free was warmly received by both critics and readers, and is so far translated into 30 languages.Writer and journalist Simen Ekern has published several books about European and Italian politics and history. He joins Ypi for a conversation about ordinary humans in the midst of history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of Spymasters, Antonia Senior sits down with acclaimed author Alex Preston to discuss his gripping new novel A Stranger in Corfu — a dark, atmospheric story that blends the glamour of the Mediterranean with the psychological wreckage of espionage. At the centre of the novel is Nina, a young MI6 agent dispatched into the collapsing chaos of 1990s Yugoslavia, where the moral certainties of her training collide with the brutal reality of intelligence work. What follows is a haunting journey — one that eventually leads her to a mysterious island off Corfu, a place that feels less like paradise and more like a retirement home for damaged spies. Alex reveals the real-world inspirations behind the story, including Corfu's extraordinary intelligence history, and the chilling legacy of Operation Valuable — the failed Anglo-American Cold War effort to destabilise communist Albania. This is an episode about idealism, betrayal, compromised souls, and the seductive power of “beautiful lies.” If you love John le Carré, moral complexity, or spy stories that feel uncomfortably real… you're going to love this conversation.

In this episode of Communicable, Navaneeth Narayanan and Josh Nosanchuk invite Virginie Lemiale and Elie Azoulay (Paris, France) as well as fellow editor Emily McDonald (Montreal, Canada)—this time as guest—to discuss adjunctive steroid therapy for pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in HIV-negative individuals. In 2025, Lemiale and Azoulay published results from their double-blind, randomised controlled trial investigating steroid treatment for severe Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PIC trial) in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine [1]. At first glance, one might dismiss the study's clinical impact due the ‘negative' result of  the primary outcome, mortality at 28 days, which just missed a statistically significant difference between groups. There was a clinical difference, however, and all other outcomes, including 90-day mortality, were significantly different between groups. Understanding how pivotal these results were to clinical practice, McDonald and colleagues sought to contextualise the results of the PIC trial through a Bayesian analysis in a follow-up publication [2]. While the discussion provides useful clinical commentary, it also helps both to demystify Bayesian analysis and to call attention to what might be lost with strict or overly concrete interpretations of traditional frequentist analyses. This episode was peer reviewed by Arjana Zerja from the Mother Theresa University Hospital Center, Tirana, Albania.ReferencesLemiale V, et al.

Have you ever experienced a loss so deep it seemed to change everything? I met a woman in Albania who knew this kind of pain. She had lost her mother as a little girl, and that grief had left her feeling abandoned. As the years passed by, she told herself there couldn't possibly be a loving God who cared about her.  But one night, at a women's gathering, I invited this woman to join my table. She listened as I shared about a love great enough to reach broken hearts like ours.  She realized the truth: Her grief mattered deeply to God. There is hope and healing for you.   You can know Jesus. Will you open your heart to Him today? Always remember, there is hope with God. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;  he rescues those whose spirits are crushed." Psalm 34:18 radio.hopewithgod.com

El contraataque griego de finales de 1940 y comienzos de 1941 no solo detuvo la invasión italiana lanzada desde Albania, sino que invirtió por completo el curso de la campaña. En este episodio analizamos cómo el Ejército griego, superando graves limitaciones materiales, pasó a la ofensiva y penetró en territorio albanés, infligiendo una humillante derrota a las fuerzas de Mussolini. Más allá del campo de batalla, el éxito griego tuvo un profundo impacto en el alto mando italiano: destituciones, crisis de liderazgo y una pérdida de credibilidad militar que obligó a Roma a pedir ayuda a Berlín. Un episodio clave para entender el colapso de las ambiciones italianas en los Balcanes. Te lo cuentan Antonio Gómez y Dani CarAn.

As you might remember from episode 124, which was about the Allied victory in Europe, Germany was basically cut in half by the invading Soviets in the East, and the Allies in the West.  The Soviets had captured Berlin, and they had also occupied the eastern part of Germany.  But they also had occupied all of eastern Europe, including Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.  And they had no intention of giving those countries up.

This week, Kaon Serjani joins the podcast to share what God is doing in the formerly Communist, formerly Ottoman, formerly Christian country of Albania. He gives a brief history and shares encouraging stories of how they are seeing the gospel advance. Learn more about Kaon and his ministry at partner.ifce.alWhat happens when someone journeys from Christianity to Islam, then to atheism—and finally back to Jesus? Kaon explains the complex spiritual landscape of Albania, shaped by Islam, communism, and skepticism, and how God is drawing people to Himself through honest conversations, respectful dialogue, and thoughtful answers to hard questions. Together, they explore why apologetics and relational evangelism matter, how long-term conversations can lead to genuine faith, and why listening often opens doors that arguments cannot.This episode is especially encouraging for Christians engaging friends who are skeptical, Muslim, atheist, or deeply unsure about faith. It offers a hopeful picture of how God works through patience, love, and truth to bring people to Jesus—even after years of doubt.Topics include: faith and doubt, Christian apologetics, Islam and Christianity, atheism, evangelism through relationships, answering hard questions, global missions, and discipleship.Fuel for the Harvest is a Christian discipleship podcast equipping everyday followers of Jesus to make disciples and live out the Great Commission.

A sweeping history of the violence perpetrated by governments committed to extreme forms of secularism in the twentieth centuryA popular truism derived from the Enlightenment holds that violence is somehow inherent to religion, to which political secularism offers a liberating solution. But this assumption ignores a glaring modern reality: that putatively progressive regimes committed to secularism have possessed just as much and often a vastly greater capacity for violence as those tied to a religious identity. In Broken Altars, Thomas Albert Howard presents a powerful account of the misery, deaths, and destruction visited on religious communities by secularist regimes in the twentieth century.Presenting three principal forms of modern secularism that have arisen since the Enlightenment—passive secularism, combative secularism, and eliminationist secularism—Howard argues that the latter two have been especially violence-prone. Westerners do not fully grasp this, however, because they often mistake the first form, passive secularism, for secularism as a whole. But a disconcertingly more complicated picture emerges with the adoption of a broader global vision. Admitting different species of secularism, greater historical perspective, and case studies drawn from the former Soviet Union, Turkey, Mexico, Spain, Czechoslovakia, Albania, Mongolia, and China, among other countries, Howard calls into question the conventional tale of modernity as the pacifying triumph of secularism over a benighted religious past. Thomas Albert Howard is professor of humanities and history and holder of the Phyllis and Richard Duesenberg Chair in Christian Ethics at Valparaiso University. He is the author of many books, including The Faiths of Others: A History of Interreligious Dialogue. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Albania was once the strictest and most isolated of the Communist countries and was sometimes called the “North Korea” of Europe. Saimir Braho was born in Albania during the Communist regime and witnessed the period of religious turmoil that came after the collapse of Communism. Saimir eventually embraced the truth of Christianity, despite living in a country in which talking about God had been grounds for imprisonment and believing in Christ had been illegal.The Reformers and Their StepchildrenYuriy Kravets' StorySpecial thanks to Credo Schloss Unspunnen for the filming location and hospitality.
