It is astonishing to me that we went from the first powered flight of a few hundred feet in 1903 to attempting to fly the Atlantic in 1919. The Daily Mail had offered a prize of £10,000 to cross the Atlantic. The pilots called it the Big Hop. Nowadays we think nothing of it but back then they had open cockpits, primitive navigation tools, unreliable weather forecasting and many other problems. This was right on the edge of what was possible at the time. And not always on the right edge!We talked about:- the wonderful Hilda Hewlett, a pioneer of British aviation- how WW1 affected the competition (and the competitors)- Alcock and Brown and the runners up- how to keep calm (in your lounge suit) and carry on, even as death is racing to meet you.It is a wonderful story and David is wonderful storyteller!
1. Guest: David Rooney. Rooney recounts the origins of the 1919 transatlantic flight challenge funded by newspaper mogul Lord Northcliffe. He introduces war veterans Alcock and Brown, who teamed up with Vickers to attempt the dangerous crossing.
3. Guest: David Rooney. Rooney describes the treacherous conditions in Newfoundland that grounded teams for weeks. He details the dramatic takeoff of Harry Hawker, who disappeared into the ocean mist, followed by the successful launch of Alcock and Brown.
4. Guest: David Rooney. Rooney concludes the saga with Alcock and Brown's successful landing in Ireland and the subsequent celebration. Winston Churchill awarded the prize money, marking a pivotal moment where former rivals celebrated opening the future of aviation.
The episode opens with Diana and Nicole catching up on their latest work, focusing on testing AI models for accuracy in handwritten-text transcription tasks. The hosts then discuss the novel TransAtlantic by Irish author Colum McCann and what family historians can learn from its structure to write better family narratives. Diana explains that the novel views the immigration story from the Irish perspective, following the fictional character Lily Duggan and three subsequent generations, with the prose connecting each fictional character to a true story and an actual historical figure. Nicole shares the first historical snapshot, covering Lily Duggan's 1845 meeting with the formerly enslaved abolitionist Frederick Douglass in Ireland. She then details the 1919 Atlantic crossing of Lily's daughter Emily and granddaughter Lottie, where they witness the first non-stop transatlantic flight by aviators Alcock and Brown. Diana picks up the thread by discussing Lottie's later meeting with US Senator George Mitchell during his 1998 peace brokering visit to Northern Ireland, and the final chapter, where Lily's great-granddaughter, Hannah, possesses the unopened letter that connects all the women. Listeners learn three key ideas for writing their own family stories: use a focal object passed down through generations, consider historical characters an ancestor may have encountered, and research important historical events in the time and place their ancestors lived to understand how those events may have impacted them.

Esta é a história de como a terra moldou não apenas a dieta, mas a própria alma da civilização grega. Como o grão, a oliveira e a videira sustentaram impérios de ideias. Como a economia agrária era o alicerce invisível sobre o qual se erguia o Partenon e a ágora pulsava.REFERÊNCIAS BIBLIOGRÁFICAS FINLEY, Moses I. The Ancient Economy.

Directed by Craig Gillespie and based on Tom King's acclaimed comic, the film hits theaters June 26, 2026. Analytic Dreamz breaks down the trailer's gritty, cosmic vibe—featuring a traumatized, hard-edged Supergirl celebrating her birthday across the galaxy with Krypto, reluctant vengeance quest alongside young alien Ruthye (Eve Ridley), interstellar action against villain Krem (Matthias Schoenaerts), and a glimpse of Jason Momoa's Lobo. Highlighting the rock soundtrack like Blondie's "Call Me," space-western tone contrasting Superman's optimism, and Alcock's raw portrayal of a "f***ed up" Kryptonian raised amid horror, this marks a bold, darker chapter in the DC Universe.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Derangement describes the detached armchair observers who judge those in the arena. Capitec CEO Gerrie Fourie and Kasinomics author GG Alcock have had their fill of these critics - and explain why to BizNews editor Alec Hogg in this forthright interview about the unappreciated slug of South Africa's economy. The two champions of SA's Emerging Sector explain why the official data is badly wrong - and how the country's unemployment rate is closer to 10% than the widely quoted 30%. Hitting back at the hand-wringers with a message of hope - and reality.

Welcome to TV Break, where Pop Break's Podcasts Editor Alex Marcus is joined by editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin, and TV Columnist Josh Sarnecky to talk about the happenings in television.Here's the format of the show:The Best Thing I Saw on TV Last Month – Alex, Bill, & Josh talk about a show/episode/event they liked from the last month including HBO's The Last of Us, Disney Plus's Andor, Max's Hacks, and Apple TV Plus's The Studio.Newsbreak – This month, they breakdown a busy month of news out of TV's Upfronts, with a special focus on the decline of scripted TV and the rising prominence of sports in this year's presentations.Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, & Josh pick a streamer they think “won the month” based on new shows airing/upcoming shows announced etc. Josh and Bill both went with Netflix thanks all the news they dropped out of this month's TUDUM event, along with the news they swapped out Cocomelon for Sesame Street.Meanwhile, Alex capes up for the newly rebranded HBO Max, thanks to the high quality and virality of their big series The Last of Us, Hacks, and The Rehearsal, the NBA playoffs, the Superman film library, and their recent decision to cull much of Discovery's library from their service.New Series Spotlight – This month we are shining the spotlight on Netflix's Sirens. This series stars The White Lotus' Meghann Fahy and House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock as estranged sisters unexpectedly reunited on the eve of Alcock's boss's big Labor Day Weekend Gala.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. James Alcock discuss what near-death experiences are and the increase in them in recent years due to improvements in medical technology. While near-death experiences (NDEs) have been known about for a long time, we, as a scientific community, are starting to understand more about what they mean for neurological processes. However, despite knowing the science of what is happening, NDEs and how they are experienced are subject to one's own beliefs, context, and even religious framework. Dr. Alcock and Therese also discuss the relationship between near-death experiences, hallucinations, and even reactions to various drugs and how they create powerful subjective experiences. Key Takeaways: In surveys taken in the United States, about 3% of people have reported having near-death experiences. This number can be difficult to assess as they are based on memory and the surveys are taken, sometimes years after the incident in question. It is difficult to prove near-death experiences in research studies due to the subjectivity of what is being perceived. Even with the science that we do know, those who have near-death experiences (including neurologists who have studied the brain) report the reality of the feelings and perceptions that are felt in these experiences. "Context is important. Our interpretation is important. And it's very difficult, if not impossible, for any individual to distinguish between reality and subjective fantasies in those situations." — Dr. James Alcock Connect with Dr. James Alcock: Wikipedia Page: James Alcock Book: Belief: What it Means to Believe and Why Our Convictions are so Compelling Magazine: Skeptical Inquirer Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Episode: 1362 The first twenty years of transatlantic flights. Today, we fly the Atlantic.
We all believe in something, from Santa Claus, to the global shape of the earth, to babies needing to be taken care of for survival. While some of our beliefs are intuitive or have evidence, many are not. Sometimes the evidence that we believe to be true is faulty. In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. James Alcock discuss how these beliefs are built, how we interpret situations to create beliefs, and why we, as a society, have so many common beliefs. As humans, we like to believe we are rational beings, but so many of our beliefs are happening automatically, without our conscious thought or from common teachings that we are all exposed to from those in authority. Therese and Dr. Alcock also discuss further complications regarding belief, such as conspiracy mentalities, imagination inflation, and memory contamination and the role that these elements of complication can play in trying to suss out what to believe in this world full of many shades of gray. Key Takeaways: We cannot learn everything in one lifetime so, as a society, we come to rely on authorities and shared, inherited beliefs. There is no evidence that people can bury trauma. The problem with trauma is people can't forget. Due to mental desire to belief and idiosyncratic movements, humans often see things that are “magic” or “unexplainable” due to our own actions. "The problem is, if we don't have the capacity and we don't have the motivation to critically examine the evidence, then we won't distinguish between evidence that really is factual and evidence which is wrong." — Dr. James Alcock Connect with Dr. James Alcock: Wikipedia Page: James Alcock Book: Belief: What it Means to Believe and Why Our Convictions are so Compelling Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Twitter: @CritiSpeak Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
