In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas sits down with Jonathan W. Jordan — New York Times bestselling military historian, Wall Street Journal book critic, and now federal judge — to discuss his richly researched new book Ike and Winston: World War, Cold War, and an Extraordinary Friendship. Spanning a quarter century from their first meeting on Christmas Eve 1941 — when Eisenhower was a little-known brigadier, and Churchill was the most famous man in the world — to Churchill's death in January 1965, Jordan traces one of the most consequential personal relationships of the 20th century. Their friendship forged through the pressure cooker of war helped launch D-Day, navigate the terrifying logic of nuclear weapons, and manage the fraught transition from British imperial power to American superpower. Jordan and Jonathan cover the early dynamic between the aristocrat and the Kansan, the strategic clashes over Anvil and Berlin, Churchill's habit of misrepresenting what Eisenhower had told him when he really wanted his way, the moral weight of decisions that killed tens of thousands, their shared love of painting, the goat on parade in Bermuda, and what these two remarkable men can still teach us about friendship, leadership, and bridging difference. Links Ike and Winston by Jonathan W. Jordan Brothers, Rivals, Victors by Jonathan W. Jordan American Warlords by Jonathan W. Jordan Churchill Papers at Hillsdale College Eisenhower Presidential Library Winston Churchill the Painter at the Wallace Collection, London (open until November 29, 2026) Pressure (2024 film on the D-Day weather decision) Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways Churchill and Eisenhower first met on Christmas Eve 1941, three weeks after Pearl Harbor — but Churchill promptly forgot the encounter. In his memoirs, he incorrectly stated he first met Ike in June 1942. Churchill had also famously forgotten meeting a young assistant secretary of the Navy named Franklin Roosevelt years earlier. Jonathan Jordan argues that Churchill's friendship with Eisenhower was ultimately more pivotal to world history than his famous friendship with FDR. Without Churchill's patronage, there is no Supreme Commander of D-Day, no NATO commander, and quite possibly no President Eisenhower. Eisenhower had never heard a shot fired in anger when he was appointed Supreme Allied Commander of the Mediterranean theater in 1943 — and every officer in the room, including Foreign Minister Anthony Eden, had more combat experience than he did. But Patton's observation captures what made Ike perfect for the job: no officer above the rank of colonel should know too much about tactics, or they'll interfere with the people who do. Churchill and Eisenhower lunched together at least weekly during the run-up to D-Day, and met several other times during the week — sometimes for overnight visits at Chequers. Many of their interactions were not grand strategy but practical problem-solving: American drivers going too fast on English roads, landlords overcharging American officers for flats. The biggest strategic clashes were over Anvil (the Allied landing in southern France, which Churchill wanted canceled to preserve British strength in Italy) and Berlin (which Churchill wanted to capture to deny it to the Soviets, and which Eisenhower refused to spend lives on because he knew the political leaders would give it back after the war anyway). In both cases, Churchill was overruled. During the Anvil dispute, Churchill went so far as to misrepresent to Roosevelt and to Montgomery what Eisenhower had told him — attributing to Ike support for a plan Ike had never endorsed — in order to start a ball rolling toward canceling the invasion. The British Chiefs of Staff had to go back to their American counterparts and acknowledge that the Prime Minister had misrepresented the situation. The two men were fundamentally different in their inner lives: Eisenhower was the pragmatist — the card-playing bridge player who assessed odds and would spend lives when the mathematics demanded it — while Churchill was the romantic, the novelist and painter who felt the human cost viscerally and argued passionately against bombing French railways that might kill 40,000 civilians. Both men were painters — a shared passion that became a genuine bond. After the Suez Crisis ruptured Anglo-American relations in 1956, Eisenhower leveraged America's love of Churchill by personally promoting the world tour of Churchill's paintings across US galleries and writing the foreword for the program. The painting Ike was proudest of was his own portrait of Churchill, copied from another work. The rupture of their later years was over Churchill's desperate desire for a summit with the Soviet Union after the hydrogen bomb — and Eisenhower's refusal to engage. Churchill, who had coined the phrase "meeting at the summit," believed great men could move history in direct conversation; Eisenhower, the organization man, believed the Soviet machine would behave the same regardless of who sat across the table. Despite every disagreement, the bond never broke at a personal level. When Churchill's greatest political enemy Clement Attlee served as one of his pallbearers in 1965, it was with Churchill's prior approval — a final demonstration of the principle both men lived by: never let differences over politics or policy destroy a personal friendship. Soundbites "Without Winston Churchill's backing, there is no Eisenhower. There's Eisenhower the brigadier who works in the Pentagon and is respected as a planner. But there's no Supreme Commander of D-Day, there's no NATO commander, there's no President Eisenhower. He is not a household name without Winston Churchill." — Jonathan Jordan on Churchill's role in making Eisenhower. "Being a litigator is not all that different from being a historian. You sift through old documents, you interview witnesses — which is basically a deposition — and you package it in a way that's hopefully accessible and if possible engaging and entertaining for a lay audience, whether that's twelve jurors or thousands of history buffs." — Jonathan Jordan on why law and history are the same skill. "Churchill liked to expound on strategy, but most of what they worked on together were practical problems — shipping backlogs in the English ports, Americans' drivers having a habit of driving too fast on those small English roads, British landlords overcharging American officers for flats. Sometimes Ike and Winston had to interact like they were city councilmen." — Jonathan Jordan on the day-to-day reality of their wartime relationship. "Churchill would do whatever it took. He would use humor, he would argue, he would threaten to resign, he would cry. He would misrepresent what Eisenhower had told him. When he really dug his heels in, anything was on the table." — Jonathan Jordan on Churchill's tactics when he wanted his own way on strategy. "Churchill had to think about whether bombing French railways — which he was told might kill as many as forty thousand French civilians — was too brutal a cost just to slow down Hitler's reinforcements coming to the Normandy beaches. Churchill was a creative writer, a painter, a bricklayer. He loved animals, he had a very soft spot for children. He didn't look at things in the purely military lens that Ike did." — Jonathan Jordan on the chapter titled "Are We Beasts." "In explanation of the goat's refusal to accept the cigarette you offered him this morning, I think I ought to point out that he was aware that smoking on parade is strictly forbidden. Eisenhower wrote back: The goat's soldierly deportment puts me to shame. You would suppose that after some forty years in the army I would not have embarrassed him so sadly." — Jonathan Jordan reading the Bermuda goat exchange between Churchill and Eisenhower. "We are now as far from the age of the atomic bomb as the atomic bomb was from the bow and arrow. Churchill had a vivid imagination — as a painter, a historian, a novelist. He could see big trends into the future. And demons seemed to whisper to him that mankind could incinerate itself with these new thermonuclear weapons." — Jonathan Jordan on how the hydrogen bomb transformed Churchill. "Eisenhower was 50% kindly grandfather and 50% cold-blooded calculator. His own son John thought about it and said: we'll make that 75% cold-blooded calculator. He would never let his personal indebtedness affect how he conducted foreign policy. If he had to step on a friend, whether that was Patton or the remnants of the British Empire in the Suez Crisis, he did it." — Jonathan Jordan on Eisenhower's inner character. "Churchill subscribed to the great man theory of history — great men make history, and he had done it himself in talks with Stalin in Moscow, Tehran, Yalta, Potsdam. Eisenhower was an organization man. He felt the machine did what the machine did. It's like a car engine — you replace the carburetor, it'll still run as a car. It won't turn into an airplane." — Jonathan Jordan on the fundamental philosophical difference between the two men. "Don't let differences over politics or policy get in the way of what could be a good personal friendship. Neither of those two men held grudges if they could avoid it. When Churchill died, Clement Attlee — who had inflicted the very worst political humiliation of Churchill's life — was one of his pallbearers, and Churchill had approved that." — Jonathan Jordan on the lasting lesson of the Ike and Winston friendship.

In this episode of The DTC Insider, Brian Roisentul sits down with Josh Sprague, founder of Orange Mud, Seven Clay, and Anvil & Acre, to discuss what it really takes to build and grow successful DTC brands in an ecommerce landscape that never stops evolving.Josh shares the lessons he's learned after launching three companies across different eras of ecommerce, explaining why strong business fundamentals, customer understanding, and operational excellence matter far more than chasing the latest marketing trends or growth hacks.They dive into the realities of paid media, attribution, Amazon, customer retention, and why founders should fully understand their business before investing in advertising. Josh also explains how he built a community of nearly 1,000 brand ambassadors, dramatically reduced product returns through customer education, and why testing and continuous optimization remain essential for long-term growth.Plus, they discuss AI, direct mail, email automation, scaling ecommerce brands, and what Josh would do differently if he were starting a brand from scratch today.--This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠BSR⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠BSR⁠⁠⁠ helps 7-figure+ brands build and optimize strategic growth systems that unlock hidden revenue and scale profitably, without adding chaos, channels, or unnecessary spend.To learn more about BSR, ⁠⁠⁠visit their website⁠⁠⁠ or book a ⁠⁠⁠call⁠⁠⁠.

Send us Fan MailNearly 24 hours in open water changes what you think you know about fear, focus, and what you are capable of. Ted Lomicka joins us from Franklin, Tennessee to tell the story of completing the Triple Maui Nui, a nonstop three channel swim from Lanai to Maui to Molokai and back again. Ted describes starting in a thunderstorm, navigating bioluminescent “stars” below when clouds hide the real ones, then facing cold brackish water near Molokai alongside the threat of a shark fin. At his lowest point, a captain's short question reframes the choice and gets him moving again. On the final leg, sensory deprivation gives way to awe when a baby humpback whale swims beneath him and meets his eye, a moment that turns endurance into meaning and seals the lesson: dream big, live the dream, and share the dream.Ted is also a healthcare executive and an adjunct professor at Vanderbilt University, so we zoom out from the ocean to the real world impact of innovation leadership. We dig into ambient AI scribes in healthcare, how AI drafted notes can improve physician patient communication, and why giving clinicians 30 to 90 minutes back each night can boost satisfaction, retention, and outcomes. Along the way, Ted shares how he evaluates new ideas: technologically feasible, clinically relevant, financially viable, and scalable, then pilot small and iterate fast.The heart of our conversation is mindset. Ted breaks down the framework behind his upcoming book, First Of Five: The Five Hammers Of A Do Anything Mindset, forged in ultra distance triathlon at the Anvil race series. We unpack the hammer of passion, humility, mindfulness, equanimity, and transcendence, plus the idea of overriding the “evolutionary governor” when your body insists it is done. If you care about endurance training, Ultraman, channel swimming in Hawaii, or performing under pressure at work, this one is built to stick with you.Subscribe for more stories like this, share the show with a friend who needs a bigger goal, and leave a review so more athletes and curious minds can find us.

Our Summer in the Cities tour rolls into Toronto, where streetcars hum past glass towers, lake breezes slip between neighborhoods, and the music feels as cosmopolitan as it is stubbornly local. From jazz‑brushed confessions to molten metal anthems, Don and Dude drop the needle on two records that channel Toronto's coffeehouse introspection, blue‑collar grit, and noisy club‑scene swagger into city‑sized sound.The AlbumsJoni Mitchell – Court and Spark (1974)Court and Spark finds Joni Mitchell parlaying her Yorkville folk‑club roots into an elegant, jazz‑tinged song cycle about love, freedom, and the emotional static of city life. Short stories set in parties, hotel rooms, and Hollywood offices unfold over sophisticated chords and glassy arrangements, turning a Toronto‑born songwriter's gaze on fame, romance, and the uneasy balance between independence and connection.Anvil – Metal on Metal (1982)Metal on Metal captures Toronto's early‑80s metal underground in all its sweaty, denim‑and‑leather glory, as Anvil welds booming riffs, proto‑thrash speed, and monster‑movie mayhem into a raw, no‑nonsense statement of heavy‑metal faith. Recorded in their hometown just as traditional metal was mutating into something faster and meaner, the album plays like a beer‑soaked club set where double‑kick drums, shout‑along hooks, and cult‑movie nerdery collide.Diggin' AlbumsPaul McCartney – The Boys of Dungeon Lane (2026)Late‑career pop from a songwriting legend, revisiting post‑war Liverpool memories with warm, Beatles‑y melodies and polished, nostalgic storytelling.Neil Young – After the Gold Rush (1970)Classic Laurel Canyon‑era folk rock that marries fragile ballads and ragged guitar workouts in a reflective set about love, conscience, and a changing world.Brigitte Calls Me Baby – Irreversible (2026)Modern guitar pop where crooner vocals, retro romance, and road‑tested indie rock tunes meet in a sleek, heartfelt package.Old Crow Medicine Show – Union Made (2026)Lively string‑band Americana that salutes work, community, and country‑wide stories with fiddle‑powered sing‑alongs and a loaded guest list.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."...Full of life and motion, bustle, business and improvement.

The Terrible Anvil Season 2 Episode 07 - "What's the worst that could happen?" In this episode, we're asking “What's the worst that could happen?” We're talking about the fear of failure and utter collapse of our mental understanding of our own self-esteem. We're talking about large and small audiences, and envisioning the "fiery crash" of those potential failures, finding that a lot of times, they don't actually hurt. But some do, and we talk about avoiding those! Finally we talk about how communities (like SAW) provide readers and support, and that's what art is about!

Ubisoft est prêt à transformer le marketing d'un jeu vidéo… en véritable chasse au trésor mondiale. Pour relancer l'intérêt autour de sa franchise Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, l'éditeur français a lancé une opération spectaculaire : un coffre au trésor d'une valeur estimée à 500.000 dollars aurait été enterré quelque part dans les Caraïbes. L'opération, baptisée “Gold & Crystal – The Lost Treasure of Edward Kenway”, s'inspire directement de l'univers pirate du jeu. Le trésor contiendrait notamment un crâne de cristal, des pièces d'or à l'effigie du jeu, ainsi que plusieurs objets collectors liés à l'univers d'Assassin's Creed. Le nom d'Edward Kenway n'a évidemment pas été choisi au hasard : il s'agit du héros emblématique de Black Flag, considéré par beaucoup de fans comme l'un des meilleurs épisodes de toute la saga. Mais ce qui fascine surtout, c'est le modèle économique derrière cette opération. Car tout le monde peut participer… à condition de payer. L'accès à la chasse au trésor coûte environ 35 euros minimum. Les participants reçoivent alors des indices, des contenus exclusifs et l'accès à une expérience immersive mêlant énigmes, exploration et lore autour du jeu. Ubisoft transforme ainsi une campagne promotionnelle classique en produit commercial à part entière. Cette stratégie illustre parfaitement l'évolution actuelle du marketing dans l'industrie du jeu vidéo. Aujourd'hui, vendre un jeu ne suffit plus. Les éditeurs cherchent à créer des événements, des communautés et des expériences virales capables de faire parler d'une franchise pendant des semaines sur les réseaux sociaux et YouTube. Et Ubisoft en a particulièrement besoin.Le groupe traverse en effet une période difficile. Sa valeur boursière a lourdement chuté ces dernières années, plusieurs projets ont été annulés et certains lancements récents ont déçu. Dans ce contexte, Ubisoft mise énormément sur Black Flag Resynced pour reconquérir les joueurs et rassurer les investisseurs. Le choix de Black Flag est lui aussi stratégique. Sorti initialement en 2013, le jeu reste extrêmement populaire grâce à son ambiance de piraterie, ses batailles navales et son héros charismatique. Le remake “Resynced”, prévu pour juillet 2026, promet des graphismes modernisés, de nouveaux contenus et une refonte complète du gameplay grâce au moteur Anvil. Au fond, cette chasse au trésor montre comment l'économie du divertissement change profondément. Les frontières entre jeu vidéo, événement réel, marketing et expérience immersive deviennent de plus en plus floues. Ubisoft ne vend plus seulement un jeu : l'entreprise vend une aventure, un rêve de pirate… et surtout une histoire capable de faire parler du jeu bien avant sa sortie. Hébergé par Acast.

Salve! This is a preview of our latest bonus episode exclusive for paid subscribers!Every episode is a different song. This is the song today:"A Noite do Meu Bem", written and performed by Dolores DuranDolores Duran is one of the most important figures in Brazilian music. She wasn't just a crooner or a performer, but was also a prolific lyricist, including words written for Tom Jobim. "A Noite do Meu Bem" is probably Duran's biggest hit, with all the lyrics and music written by her, just a few weeks before her passing. That matters greatly because, at the time, very few women had the space or recognition to write. Dolores Duran carved out that role for herself with remarkable talent and presence before tragically dying while sleeping at the age of 29. "A Noite do Meu Bem" was voted one of the 100 Best Brazilian Songs of All Time according to Rolling Stone Brasil. Check for the song's full translation at The Anvil, by Translationsmith.

At The NAMM Show 2026, Drum Workshop turned its booth into a walk-through of what a modern drum company looks like when craft, heritage, and engineering share the same floor. Scott Donnell, Director of Brand Management at Drum Workshop, Inc., guided us through a lineup that spans the DW Custom Shop, the revived Slingerland Radio King line, Latin Percussion, Pacific Drums and Percussion, and the brand's new DW Manufacturing series. The DW Custom Shop stand is a visible argument for customization as a sonic decision, not just a cosmetic one. Chrome, gold, satin chrome, and black hardware. Polyester sprays, three durable lacquers, exotic plies, and ply wraps. When a drummer specifies wood species, ply count, and grain orientation, they are designing the drum's voice from the inside out. The Slingerland revival gets the faithful-reproduction treatment. Radio King studio kits on display are solid, steam-bent maple shells with the original three-point throw-off and stick saver hoops, built in California. Scott Donnell speaks about the line the way a curator talks about a restoration: get the details right, honor what drummers remember, and let the sound do the rest. Donnell frames DW's innovation as a stack of deliberate decisions rather than a single breakthrough. DW stamps a note into each shell through a process called timbre matching, which ensures the kit is manufactured as a family. Pair that with grain orientation technology, True Pitch tuning, and resonance-focused tom mounting systems, and drummers never end up with an orphan drum in their kit. Marking the tenth anniversary of True Cast, the new DW Manufacturing four by 14 piccolo features a five millimeter sand-cast shell, cast bronze hoops, and fully machined brass and bronze hardware. Only one hundred are being made globally, each arriving in an Anvil flight case. A recent DW video features Dave Elitch and Abe Laboriel Jr. playing the drum with Paul McCartney. The conversation closes on a Red Hot Chili Peppers tour kit gifted to the DW museum by Chad Smith, which will join Neil Peart's and Terry Bozzio's tour kits on display while DW builds Chad new Sonic flight drums for the band's next tour. Pacific Drums and Percussion, LP's top-tuning congas, Tony Escapa's signature hand percussion series, and DWE round out the booth. Drum Workshop is not hiding how the drums get made. Take the tour, take the pictures, watch the videos, and the innovation speaks for itself. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.

The Terrible Anvil Season 2 | Episode 2: Terrible Commitments! Tom and Jess about making accidental or conscious decisions early on that we are forced to live with. Tom Hart and Jess Ruliffson love to talk about making comic-making EASIER, and in this episode, we're talking about making terrible commitments.It's about time management some times, but other times it might be about character design, and story choices or structure. Tom shows his examples from his comic in progress where the boys are wear buckets on their heads, the girls hide in hoodies, and the men are all rats. So everyone looks the same! How do you get out of it? Tom and Jess talk about it.We talked briefly about Chester Brown's Underwater. Tired of drawing hair, Brown drew everyone bald, which is fine. He also wanted to draw out the lengthy mental/sensory development of an infant into childhood and adulthood. He later abandoned the project! Terrible Commitment or brave experiment, or both?!We talk momentarily about NAILED IT! -- there's great, great joy in Nailed It! People are experiencing great joy because the deadlines are so crazy. And the work is so off the mark, that it becomes a new thing, and the learning to figure out what the new thing you are developing, is part of the art of the Terrible Anvil. Then as we slid into answering questions for people either interested or IN the 2026 Graphic Novel Intensive, we answered questions about navigating bad feelings in a project, about heavy choices early on, sometimes about tech questions.

Hi! Welcome back to The Terrible Anvil! Tom Hart and Jess Ruliffson love to talk about making comic-making EASIER, and in this season 2 opener, we're talking about ART BUDGETING. It's about how artists manage time, resources, and visual consistency when working on graphic novels. Jess's favorite examples are from Allison Bechdel's Fun Home who love to silhouette characters, and background, and also set up details that are easily repeatable. Additionally we looked at her dad's RUG.Jess also talked about simplifying characters for a longer story, even when she previous pulled out all the stops for realism in a previous version of the same story, seen here:Then as we slid into answering questions for people either interested or IN the 2026 Graphic Novel Intensive, we answered questions about art budgeting for color.Tom showed some favorite old-time examples of working FAST which made for bold color choices, like the one below.We answered a few more questions. We hope you'll join us in the 2026 Graphic Novel Intensive (GNI)! See you there!Next week on The Terrible Anvil, Tom will show Jess some accidental commitments he made and Jess will help him deal with the long term consequences! Thanks for being here!

This week the Cultra Crew AFB and Anna G. talk with Josh Sprague — founder of Orange Mud — about building gear, starting businesses, and adventure racing. Josh grew up on a Kansas farm selling rubber band guns and raising 4-H pigs before working at Walmart and Goodyear. In 2012 he started Orange Mud after getting frustrated with hydration packs that didn't work for runners. By 2014 he quit corporate life and went all in. We also talk adventure racing, the multi-sport sufferfest of running, biking, paddling, and navigating with map and compass plus gear design, heat management, and why Josh only creates products when they're actually better. Josh also runs 7 Clay and Anvil and Acre, all while keeping Orange Mud independently owned. Adventure, entrepreneurship, gear nerdery, and the usual Cultra nonsense.

This is a preview of the latest bonus episode available exclusively for subscribers at Patreon. Every episode is a different song. This is the song today:"Sonho Meu" (Dona Yvone Lara) performed by Maria Bethânea feat. Gal CostaThe song was first recorded by Maria Bethânia in her album "Álibi" released in 1978, featuring Gal Costa, and lyrics written by Dona Ivone Lara, the first woman to join the composers' crew of a samba school in Rio de Janeiro. "Sonho meu", with verses evoking freedom, hope, and nostalgia from better times, became a sort of political anthem for the return of political exiles during the Brazilian dictatorship. The song was a huge success, catapulting the album to sell more than 500,000 copies, making Bethânea the first female singer to reach this milestone in Brazil. It also opened doors for Dona Ivone Lara to finally retire from her career as a nurse and social worker, when she eventually released her debut solo album, also in 1978. Check the translation to "Sonho Meu" provided by Steve Smith from The Anvil blog, also known as Translationsmith.

Fast-and-cheap shipping is now foundational to the American way of life, thanks in large part to Amazon Prime. Still, when producer Grace Tatter sees a video of a man claiming that he's continuously ordering and returning an 110-pound anvil from Amazon with no repercussions from the tech giant, she has questions. Is this legit, or is it a Wile E. Coyote-level scheme? Unlike an anvil, the answer can't be found online. Show notes: "this guy has been buying and returning 110lb anvils on Amazon for 8 months now" (Reddit) This man keeps buying and returning 110- anvils on Amazon (Fast Company) Johnbo's TikTok This episode was produced by Grace Tatter, and co-hosted by Grace Tatter, Ben Brock Johnson, and Amory Sivertson.
