The HISTORY® Channel continues to cement its place as the leader of premium presidential biographies with the premiere of the six-part television event "Thomas Jefferson" airing consecutively across three nights beginning this Presidents' Day on Monday, February 17 at 8pm ET/PT. Nights two and three will air on Tuesday, February 18 at 8pm ET/PT and Wednesday, February 19 at 8pm ET/PT. Produced for the network by Glass Entertainment Group in association with GroupM Motion Entertainment, "Thomas Jefferson" offers an objective and comprehensive look into the complex life and achievements of the United States' third president, who was widely considered to be one of the patron saints of America's most sacred beliefs, and a central architect in the story of American democracy. Leading up to the landmark 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States in July 2026, The HISTORY® Channel will mark the historic milestone with "HISTORY Honors 250," a dynamic multiplatform initiative spanning nearly two years. Kicking off with the premiere of "Thomas Jefferson," the epic commemoration will include long-form and short-form programming, digital and social content, custom partnerships, premium events and more. "HISTORY Honors 250" will highlight breakthrough innovations, major achievements, and unsung heroes that have shaped the United States since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was an American Founding Father and spokesman for democracy. As the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, he laid the groundwork for America's founding principles of personal freedom and his vision inspired democratic movements worldwide for nearly 250 years. During his presidency, Jefferson doubled the size of the country and ignited western expansion, transforming the United States from a fledgling nation into a powerful empire, and global force. However, while Jefferson's immeasurable contributions to the origins of American democracy and government have been well documented, his deep connections to slavery remained largely misrepresented in narratives about the early republic and his life for generations. Recent historical scholarship, which has informed this new docuseries, has shed light on his complex relationships with enslaved people and their role in the making of the American republic. Across three nights, "Thomas Jefferson" offers a dynamic exploration of the powerhouse president's complicated legacy, tracing his journey from early childhood to his rebellious young adulthood, which set the foundation for his political acumen and eventual presidency. Through visual recreations, in-depth historical context, and thoughtful commentary from prominent experts, including historian Annette Gordon-Reed, writer Jon Meacham, and descendants of Jefferson himself Andrew Davenport and Gayle Jessup White, this television event authentically presents Jefferson's legacy. It portrays a story of triumph, conflict, and contradiction during pivotal chapters in America's early history.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into Teletubbies, the iconic and groundbreaking children's TV show that captivated audiences around the world in the late 90s. With its colorful characters, surreal landscapes, and unique approach to early childhood development, Teletubbies wasn't just a hit—it was a cultural phenomenon. We explore how this unconventional show became one of the most influential and talked-about children's programs of all time. We begin by exploring the origins of Teletubbies. Created by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport, the show was designed specifically for toddlers, using simple language, repetition, and bright visuals. We'll discuss how its creators took inspiration from the rapidly changing technology landscape of the 90s, and how they crafted a show that broke all the traditional rules of children's television. From its conception to its debut, we'll dive into what made Teletubbies so unique and unlike anything else on TV. Next, we move on to the impact Teletubbies had both on children and the wider public. The show sparked a range of reactions—from parents who praised its soothing nature to critics who questioned its strange, often confusing content. We'll talk about the massive success of the show, including its multiple BAFTA awards, global syndication, and the billions in merchandise sales it generated. At the same time, we'll delve into the controversies that surrounded the show, from concerns about its appeal to very young children to debates over Tinky Winky's perceived symbolism. We'll explore the enduring legacy of Teletubbies. Even after the original series ended in 2001, the show continued to air in reruns and was eventually rebooted in 2015 for a new generation of viewers. We wrap up the episode by reflecting on what Teletubbies meant to an entire generation of children, and how it remains a symbol of 90s pop culture. We'll discuss whether the show's surreal charm is timeless or simply a product of its era, and why Teletubbies continues to be remembered so fondly. Talk2TheHand is an independent throwback podcast run by husband and wife, Jimmy and Beth. Obsessed with 90s nostalgia and 90s celebrities, we'll rewind the years and take you back to the greatest era of our lives. New episodes bursting with nostalgia of the 90s released on Tuesdays.

In this episode of In the Course of Human Events, historians from Monticello's Getting Word African American Oral History Project share the recent rediscovery of Robert Hemmings's signature, a revelation confirming the literacy and the agency of the man that Thomas Jefferson enslaved as his valet. As a teenage boy, Hemmings was at Jefferson's side in Philadelphia when he wrote the Declaration of Independence, and later gained his own freedom, becoming the first of very few to be freed by Jefferson. Listen as Andrew Davenport, Auriana Woods, and Bernatiae Reed discuss this discovery and describe the life of Robert Hemmings whose story inspired “Descendants of Monticello,” a new exhibition that recently opened at Independence National Historical Park's Declaration House in Philadelphia, PA. By moving Hemmings to the center of this moment in history, this project explores the entangled legacies of freedom and enslavement at the core of our nation's founding. Since 1993, the Getting Word African American Oral History Project has collected and preserved the oral histories of Monticello's enslaved community and their descendants, creating an archive of freedom and a fuller story of Monticello and the United States. Getting Word and other staff from the Thomas Jefferson Foundation worked with Monument Lab, the National Park Service, and other organizations to present “Descendants of Monticello,” which was conceived and developed by artist Sonya Clark.

On a cold day in mid-January 1827, members of the Charlottesville community made their way to Monticello to attend the estate sale of Thomas Jefferson. Announced in newspaper advertisements in late 1826, the sale consisted of furniture, kitchen wares, farm equipment, livestock, “curious and useful” articles, and, most tragically, “130 valuable negroes.” This sale, along with others held over the next two years, tore apart families, separated husbands and wives and parents and children, and created a diaspora of Monticello's enslaved community. In this episode of our Mountaintop History podcast, Kyle Chattleton takes a deeper look at these sales and talks with Andrew Davenport, Public Historian at Monticello and Manager of the Getting Word African American Oral History Project, about what happened to many of the enslaved individuals after the dispersal sale, the important connection to the Getting Word Project, and about how they and their families' lives are testaments to the triumph of the human spirit.

Boston, Massachusetts. 1970. A group of mothers and young children assembles outside the offices of the local TV station. It's the first phase of a fight to improve kids' TV that would go all the way to the United States Senate. Matthew Syed looks at how kids' TV got smart, and what we can learn about the developing mind from the programme makers who led the way. In the late 1960s, children's television in the US was dominated by cheap cartoons and adverts for sugary snacks. Peggy Charren had something to say about it. She formed a grassroots activism group in her living room with other concerned mothers - Action for Children's Television. It would become one of the most influential broadcast lobbying groups in history. Peggy was part of a wave of people who were starting to take kids' TV seriously. From the creators of Sesame Street, to psychological researchers like Professor Daniel Anderson who brought science into children's programme making, Matthew draws out what we can learn from these innovators who know how to create a hit show. With Debbie Charren, Peggy's daughter, and former schoolteacher and reading specialist; Robert Krock, Action for Children's Television's former development director; Daniel Anderson, Professor Emeritus at the department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of Massachusetts Amherst; Dr Michael Muthukrishna, Associate Professor of Economic Psychology at the London School of Economics; and Andrew Davenport, creator, writer and composer of In the Night Garden, Moon and Me, and Teletubbies.

After my diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease, my first call was to the Parkinson Society of British Columbia. They were quick to offer information on support groups and mailed a packet of brochures, handouts and relevant information that immediately made me feel less anxious and more informed. That is why each year my family raises money and walks in the Parkinson SuperWalk in Vancouver. This year we had a team of 12 walkers on our “When Life Gives You Parkinson’s” team and my 10-year-old son Henry went door to door in our neighbourhood to help raise funds. His efforts contributed $160 to our team. In 1990, a small group of volunteers in Toronto decided to walk up Yonge Street to raise awareness for Parkinson’s disease and they called it “SuperWalk” due to the long distance. This year, Parkinson Canada held more than 82 SuperWalks across Canada with 10,000 participants and exceeded its goal of raising more than $2.4 million. While that seems like a great amount of funding, Jon Collins, Associate Director of Events and Partnerships for Parkinson Canada says, “The reality is, with 25 Canadians diagnosed every day, with our population aging, and (the number of people with) Parkinson’s expected to double by 2031, we are anticipating growing needs.” Organizations like Parkinson Canada are privately funding, there are no government dollars, and they rely on individual donations to maintain their programs and advocacy. Parkinson’s IQ + You I want to thank the great people in Atlanta for their hospitality as the Michael J. Fox Foundation’s “Parkinson’s IQ + You” blew through town earlier this month. Each event will be highlighted in upcoming Extra Dosage episodes. If you live in the United States, I hope to see you soon!

Why do we seem to love music from the day we're born? Are we born musical or do we learn it along the way? Whether it's melodies by Mozart, Queen, nursery rhymes or Baby Shark, music seems to captivate our babies - but what is it about these tunes that they're enjoying? Tom is joined by infant psychology expert Dr Laurel Trainor to find out how babies really interact with music - what are they hearing in the womb? Do they have musical preferences? Does participating in music have any developmental benefits? And is there any truth in the so-called Mozart effect? How do you go about writing music for tiny people? Andrew Davenport, creator and composer of iconic pre-school hit In the Night Garden and Moon and Me explains how babies and music go hand in hand. And Tom finds out why we've sung lullabies to our infants all over the world since Babylonian times. Hannah Thorne - producer
Moon and Me is the new CBeebies programme by Andrew Davenport, creator of the award-winning shows Teletubbies and In the Night Garden. He discusses how his story of a doll, Pepi Nana, and the baby in the moon who travels to her doll house to tell stories and have adventures, was inspired by tales of toys that come to life when nobody is looking.Why are some musicians and writers labelled 'the voice of a generation'? Kate Mossman from The New Statesman and books journalist Sarah Shaffi discuss what characteristics earn artists this label, if it's a blessing or a curse, and who they think represent generations today or in the past.As English National Opera chief Stuart Murphy says opera has a problem with diversity and announces a strategy for nurturing BAME talent, Opera Now editor Ashutosh Khandekar and composer Shirley Thompson discuss the issue of representation in opera.Presenter: Kirsty Lang Producer: Jerome WeatheraldMain image: Moon and Me Photo credit: BBC
Many observers believe that China’s Belt and Road Initiative is a vast, well-laid and finely orchestrated plan to extend Chinese hegemony over much of the developing world. However, some argue that the BRI is just a vision, not a coordinated plan. Andrew Davenport, Chief Operating Officer of RWR Advisory Group, joins Catherine Tai, CIPE’s Asia Program Officer, and host Ken Jaques to discuss the role the Belt Road has in promoting Chinese “corrosive capital.” They discuss the challenges that will likely become more intense in 2019 with regard to Chinese activity in the tech sector. Furthermore, Davenport mentions some of the work RWR has accomplished with their program IntelTrak, which is the most comprehensive global data set of Chinese and Russian business transactions to date.

Liten skär och alla små brokiga - är det en rasistisk barnfilm? Debatten har rasat de senaste veckorna, då många har reagerat på att en av figurerna i den animerade filmen, Lilla Hjärtat, liknar en rasistisk stereotyp - en variant av blackface, Lille svarte sambo, Gollywog, Pickanninny och andra figurer som idag dömts ut som kränkande. Igår kom så beskedet om att Folkets Bio i Lund, inte tänker visa filmen. För regissören och barnboksförfattaren Stina Wirsén och producenten Linda Hambäck så kom nog de upprörda känslorna som något av en chock. För bilderboken där figuren Lilla Hjärtat först dök upp har varit ute på marknaden i flera år. Det är väl inte en särskilt avancerad gissning att vårens performance av Makode Linde, där han bjöd kulturministern på en tårta, som var en blacface-stereotyp kvinna, har spelat in i debatten. Det går inte längre att vara svensk, naiv och oskyldig i debatten kring den här typen av stereotyper. Lisa Bergström har träffat filmens regissör och brokiga-böckernas skapare Stina Wirsén för att prata om rasistiska stereotyper och goda intentioner Vad tycker publiken om själva filmen Liten skär och alla små brokiga. Den är ju tänkt som en interaktiv film för de allra minsta. Kan de uppfatta vad som händer på duken när Liten skär, rutig, lilla hjärtat och Bosse pussas, busar och konfronteras med döden i filmen. Kino valde att testa filmens kommunikationspotential tillsammans med Majken Carnhede 2 år och 4 månader. Hon har plöjt brokigböckerna av Stina Wirsén sen hon fyllde ett, men det här blev hennes första bio-upplevelse. Att se vuxna gnälla på varandra i Robinson eller försöka rädda sina äktenskap i höstens Par i terapi är vi vana vid. Men hur ofta får vi se barn dokumentärbråka i TV? Snart är det premiär i Barnkanalen för dramadokumentären "Värsta bråket" där olika slags konflikter som syskonbråk, orättvisor och tjatiga föräldrar skildras i tolv stycken sjuminuters avsnitt. Nina Asarnoj träffade producenten Marie Lundberg. Vad gör att en barnfilm åldras? När slutar en klassisk barnfilm att tala till publiken? När vår reporter Marcus Morey-Halldin gick och såg ET på en Cinematekvisning för en tid sen så märkte han att dagens barn kanske inte riktigt klarade av den långsamma långsamma öppningen av filmen. I december är det faktiskt hela 30 år sedan svenskarna för första gången fick träffa världens snällaste utomjording. Men har vänskapen mellan utomjordingen ET och förortspojken Eliot stått emot tidens tand? I veckans Kinoklassiker har vi tittat på en riktigt långsam barnkulturskatt. De fyra färgglada tjockisarna i Teletubbies som blev omfamnade av barn världen över när de kom till för 15 år sedan. En välresearchad BBC-produktion skapad av Anne Wood och Andrew Davenport som gjorde 365 avsnitt. Här i Sverige visades Teletubbies på TV4 mest start i slutet av 90-talet . Cecilia Blomberg hörde till de föräldrar som var glada för det nya tillskottet i barnpassningen. Veckans Bäst just nu-lista kommer från Kinos Malmöreporter Saman Bakhtiari. Programledare: Roger Wilson Producent: Lisa Bergström
Andrew Davenport, DPhil candidate in the Department of International Relations at the University of Sussex, gives a talk on 2nd Feb 2012 for the Historical Materialism and International Relations seminar series. The Historical Materialism and International Relations seminar series seeks to explore and develop the multiple points of contact between Marxist theory and international relations, most broadly defined. It does so with the double aim of investigating the critical and explanatory potentials of Marxism in the domain of international relations, as well as to probe what an engagement with 'the international' might contribute to Marxist theory. The seminar series is associated with the journal of Historical Materialism: Research in Critical Marxist Theory and its forthcoming 'Historical Materialism and International Relations' book series.
Andrew Davenport from University College London's Centre for Nephrology discusses encouraging early results from a study showing how portable haemodialysis machines could have future potential for people with kidney failure.
