In this enlightening episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill reunites with historians and co-authors of "Ring of Fire," Alex Churchill and Nicolai Eberholst, to explore the often-overlooked narratives of the First World War. Together, they challenge the traditional Western-centric perspectives and delve into the complexities of the war's global impact, particularly focusing on the Eastern Front and the contributions of lesser-known nations. Revisiting the Great War:- Alex and Nicolai discuss their motivations for writing "Ring of Fire," aiming to provide a more balanced account of the war that includes the significant events and actors often omitted from mainstream narratives. Unpacking the Myths:- The duo passionately critiques the oversimplified narratives that dominate First World War literature, highlighting how the war's origins and battles in the East are frequently ignored. Global Perspectives:- Discover the surprising roles played by countries such as Japan and the Ottoman Empire, as well as the impact of colonial forces in Africa and Asia, challenging the notion that the war was solely a European affair. The Human Cost:- Alex and Nicolai share harrowing accounts of ordinary soldiers and civilians, illustrating the brutal realities of war and the emotional turmoil experienced across various fronts. Challenging Neutrality:- The conversation also touches on the complexities of neutrality, with insights into how countries like Denmark and Sweden navigated their positions amidst the chaos of war. Join us as we unravel the multifaceted narratives of the First World War, shedding light on the stories that deserve to be told.

The Battle of the Somme was supposed to be the joint British-French offensive that would win the First World War. A string of battles spread over five months, it involved everything from cavalry charges, poison gas, and the debut of the tank. But the Somme was anything but victorious….on the first day alone, over 19,000 British soldiers were killed and more than 57,000 wounded, making it the single bloodiest day in British military history. So what was the Allied war plan, and how did it fail so spectacularly? What was its significance to the future progress of the war? And at what cost? This is a Short History Of the Battle of the Somme. Written by Dan Smith.

Iain Dale talks to co-presenter of the History Hack podcast Alex Churchill about the life and reign of Queen Victoria

With Jonathan Kydd away this week, Stamford Chidge is joined by 'The Smut Buddies', Tony Glover and Alex Churchill to look back at a pathetic defeat to Arsenal and ahead to Saturday's match against Bournemouth.In part one we look back at Chelsea's 3-1 defeat away to Arsenal and ask Azpi why? Kova why? Sterling why? No Mudryk or Gallagher why? Yet again Chelsea showed No pressing, no effort, no responsibility in a shambolic performance. Raheem Sterling – what a waste of money! The return of Keystone Kops defending. But, we scored a goal – well done Mudueke! And it was great support from those who stayed.In part two we look ahead to the match against Bournemouth on Saturday, kicking off with Chidge's team selection. On the bleak side we haven't lost 7 in a row since 1961 and 5 PL matches since 1993 – Chelsea always making history! Bournemouth on a good run – will they be on the beach? But they have high energy and intensity – everything we don't – is this a concern?We also talk about Boehly's comments and ask should he talk to the fans about what's going on at Chelsea rather than the financial press? Should Lukaku get another go next season Should Frank have a role at Chelsea going forward?As ever we wrap up with our predictions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Alex Churchill to welcome Super Frankie Lampard back with a massive joyous hug as the legend returns for his second stint as Chelsea manager.In part one, Frankie Goes to Boehlywood!! We discuss what could well be a very shrewd move by the club, but is there footballing sense to it or is it just good PR to keep the supporters off their back? With the appointment of Lampard and his coaching staff of Ashley Cole, Joe Edwards, Chris Jones and Paul Clements are the club rightly de-Brightonising and re-Chelseafying things? What will it mean for the squad – Mount, James, Gallagher, Pulisic, Ziyech and Kepa in particular? And where are we with the various new manager rumours - Nagelsmann, Enrique, Pochettino, Mourinho, Conte, Gallardo…even Lampard?In part two we look back at the 0-0 draw against LIverpool. Bruno at least played players in their right positions and set up with a 5 man midfield. Kante was excellent and it was so good to see him back. Chelsea created chances, couldn't score any goals of course and Havertz and Kovacic were particularly inept, whilst Liverpool were hilariously very poor, but was 0-0 a fair result?In part two we look ahead to Wolves v Chelsea, starting with Chidge's team selection. Will Frank go full English and play those he knows well? Will he go with four at the back or stay with three? How can Frank get Chelsea scoring? Will he leave big holes at the back? Wolves can't score, we can't score, does the match have 0-0 written all over it? We wrap up with our predictions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Alex goes on to discuss the many instruments he plays and how they differ in terms of inspiration.Alex describes his current career, his long-term plans, and his extensive experience in the cruise ship industry. Having recently been promoted to musical director, Alex also discusses the process he uses to choose the songs he covers and how he creates his original music. Carl and Alex talk about working in a studio and on stage, sipping wine or whiskey, and consuming dark chocolate. Tune in to hear Alex play a brilliant song from his recently released album.Episode Highlights 11:35 - I'm going to be spending a lot of time in Miami and it's starting in 2023. So, that's another stepping stone I think is going to help me. I'm going to be in the United States a lot more. I'm still working on my visa status right now. 18:57 - For example, for Alicia Keys and Un-thinkable, Alicia Keys is a huge favorite of mine and I've just always been a huge fan. It's probably my favorite song from her. Again, it just comes back down to me and just what resonates with me the most. It's just a beautiful song and the lyrics. And I really just try to emulate that when I play the saxophone.22:19 - I think performing for me, there's just no greater feeling. You know when you can feel the energy from the audience, you can see what their reaction is, you can feel their reaction. Even if it's a small club with like 50 people, or if I'm in a theater where there are like about a thousand people.29:16 - Over the years, every time I heard a song that I absolutely loved and I felt, with the lyrics especially, that I had a really strong connection with, it's not really like, "Oh, I like that song. Let's let's record that one." It has something that I can personally connect with the song, whether it is a life experience or something I'm particularly going through. So, that's where I draw the inspiration for that.41:49 - I'm always going to be the nicest person, the best person I can possibly be. I'm always going to give my 100%, all of what I've got when I'm on the stage. ContactFresh Coast Jazz FestivalAlex Churchill

Stamford Chidge and Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dan Silver and Alex Churchill to look bag at a foggy 0-0 draw away at Wolves.On the show tonight, we discuss a game which arguably should not have gone ahead with 7 Chelsea players out with Covid and others injured or returning too soon from injury.
