Greg Jenner is joined in ancient Mesopotamia by Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid and comedian Phil Wang to learn about the history of cuneiform, the oldest writing system in the world.In the 19th Century, European scholars began to translate inscriptions found on ruins and clay tablets from ancient Mesopotamia - an area of the world between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers that encompasses modern Iraq, as well as parts of Syria, Iran, Turkey and Kuwait. The script they deciphered became known as cuneiform, and this distinctive wedge-shaped writing system is perhaps the oldest in the world. The earliest cuneiform tablet is in fact over 5,000 years old.These clay tablets reveal much about the daily life of people in this part of the ancient world, recording everything from the amounts of beer sold by brewers and the best way to ask the gods for advice, to squabbles between husbands and wives and even the lullabies used to get babies to sleep. The first recorded epic poem, The Epic of Gilgamesh, is also preserved thanks to cuneiform. This episode traces the history of cuneiform, exploring how this script worked, who used it and what they used it for, what it tells us about the inhabitants of ancient Mesopotamia, and how it was finally deciphered.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

Beneath the surface, a hidden empire thrives—forged in secrecy, funded by trillions, and engineered with technology that defies imagination. In Part One of this gripping two-part conversation, Dr. Richard Sauder, the world's leading authority on deep underground and underwater bases, pulls back the veil on a clandestine network of subterranean installations. From black budget funding to electromagnetic control grids, we dive into the chilling reality of what's being built below our feet. Is this about elite survival, mind control, or preparations for an extinction-level event? One thing is certain: after this episode, you'll never trust the ground beneath you again.  GUEST: Dr. Richard Sauder is a trailblazing researcher and author who has dedicated decades to uncovering the shadowy world of ultra-secret underground and underwater military bases. Holding a PhD in political science, Sauder combines meticulous analysis of declassified documents, patents, and insider accounts with a fearless exploration of hidden technologies and covert operations. His groundbreaking books, including Underground Bases and Tunnels, Underwater and Underground Bases, and Hidden in Plain Sight, reveal a clandestine infrastructure that may point to a breakaway civilization. Known for his rigorous investigative approach and unique metaphysical perspective, Dr. Sauder is the foremost expert on the subterranean frontier, challenging everything we think we know about the world below.   WEBSITE:https://richardsauder.substack.com   BOOKS: Underground Bases and Tunnels  Underwater & Underground Bases Hidden in Plain Sight Learn more about your ad choices.

Don't tell Jean-Phillippe Lalonde of Silo (https://bieresilo.com) that craft lager is a “new” trend—he's been brewing small batches for Montreal drinkers for nearly 15 years. Opened two weeks before COVID shutdowns in 2020, Silo is the second manifestation of Lalonde's brewing vision. Designed with packaging in mind, Silo also includes some thoughtful choices (such as a direct-fire kettle) that are budget-friendly while supporting the kinds of lagers he loves to make and drink—expressive ones with fullness and flavor. With lagers inspired by Franconia and Plzeň, altbier and Kölsch inspired by Köln and Düsseldorf, and a mindest that doesn't fear regional tweaks such as North American hops and grain, Lalonde views innovation within the broad confines of tradition. For him, late hopping a Czech-style pale lager is okay... but dry hopping is a bridge too far. In this episode, Lalonde discusses: the dream of building a brewery with just one beer building fullness with protein, hot mashes, long boils, and a little bit of help from specialty malt incorporating North American hops such as Crystal into traditional lager using a pseudo-decoction technique to build additional body balancing sweetness and bitterness in fulsome lagers using low-alpha hops across multiple points in the boil, from 75 minutes to zero managing sulfur production And more.

Some might argue that the concept of evil is outdated in our relativistic age. And yet—how can we speak of war crimes, cruelty, or the neglect of human dignity without invoking the word evil? Perhaps it's time to take it seriously again, to revisit the thinkers who have grappled with its meaning. One of them, of course, is Hannah Arendt. This is a conversation about Hannah Arendt and the concept of evil, which took place in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, on June 1st, at the Kyiv Book Arsenal—one of the country's major literary events. Despite the ongoing war, the fair was full of people. My guest was Marci Shore, an American intellectual, historian, and university professor. She specializes in 20th-century European intellectual history, with a particular focus on Hannah Arendt. This year, Marci co-curated the Kyiv Book Arsenal's focus topic, alongside Oksana Forostyna.

This week marks the 210th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, the epic battle that resulted in the defeat of Napoleon and the rewriting of European history. But recent research has revealed that one man who fought at the battle had a fascinating connection with Australia. Lieutenant Andrew White of the Royal Engineers had been born in the fledgling colony of NSW, the son of a convict. His journey from colonial child to gentleman officer serving on the staff of the Duke of Wellington is one of the most remarkable tales of early Australia. Join Mat as he tells the story of Andrew White, Australia's first returned serviceman and only Waterloo veteran.Presenter: Mat McLachlanProducer: Jess StebnickiJoin one of our battlefield tours and walk in the footsteps of the Anzacs!

Now in year three of my Pride Month Feature coverage on the show, I'm more excited than I've ever been about shining a light onto the diversity of projects representing queer focused characters and getting to chat with the creators who make them. For myself, Pride this year feels like a more somber affair as the current administration seeks to not only suppress the struggle of the queer community but also to attempt to eliminate their history and in the most extreme cases, invalidating that certain people even have the right to exist but instead of getting down about it, let's flip the script so it is my pleasure to host comic creators Alex L. Combs and Andrew Eakett to talk about their engaging new graphic novel out now Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day from Candlewick Press. I encourage everyone to pick up Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day and to approach it with an open and curious mind. I went into it not knowing exactly what to expect and came out with a much more rounded historical perspective and love the use of a comics formatting to make what many consider a drier subject matter with history in general, far more engaging. Buy it direct from Candlewood Press. Alex's website Alex on BlueSky Further education as discussed by Alex and Andrew on the show Ajuan Mance author of Gender Studies: The Confessions of an Accidental Outlaw Bishakh Som author of Spellbound Breena Nuñez and Lawrence Lindell (I mispronounced "Lindell" and am really embarrassed!) creators of the indie comics collective Laneha House Sensitivity readers used in the book: Writing Diversely Hans Lindahl Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day From the publisher An essential introduction to trans history, from ancient times to the present day, in full-color graphic nonfiction format. Deeply researched, highly readable, and featuring a broad range of voices. What does “trans” mean, and what does it mean to be trans? Diversity in human sex and gender is not a modern phenomenon, as readers will discover through illustrated stories and records that introduce historical figures ranging from the controversial Roman emperor Elagabalus to the swashbuckling seventeenth-century conquistador Antonio de Erauso to veterans of the Stonewall uprising Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. In addition to these individual profiles, the book explores some of the societal roles played by trans people beginning in ancient times and shows how European ideas about gender were spread across the globe. It explains how the science of sexology and the growing acceptance of (and backlash to) gender nonconformity have helped to shape what it means to be trans today. Illustrated conversations with modern activists, scholars, and creatives highlight the breadth of current trans experiences and give readers a deeper sense of the diversity of trans people, a group numbering in the millions. Extensive source notes provide further resources. Moving, funny, heartbreaking, and empowering, this remarkable compendium from trans creators Alex L. Combs and Andrew Eakett is packed with research on every dynamic page. PATREON We have a new Patreon, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CryptidCreatorCornerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

It's now one full week since Israel launched a punishing campaign of airstrikes against Iran and its nuclear infrastructure. Iran has responded with its own missile strikes, but to far lesser effect. President Trump reiterated his desire to negotiate with Iran within a two-week window he set Thursday, as the U.S. marshals its forces in support of the Israeli operations. Geoff Bennett reports.

In this episode of War & Peace, Olga and Elissa speak with Dr. Pia Fuhrhop, head of the International Security Research Division at SWP, about the upcoming NATO summit, transatlantic relations, and how European NATO allies are working to strengthen their own defence. They discuss expectations for the summit, the potential role of Ukraine, and the alliance's push to raise defence spending targets to 5% of GDP amid growing U.S. pressure for more burden-sharing. They look at Germany's evolving role in European security and the new government's ambition to build “the strongest conventional army in Europe”. Finally, they consider the value of holding regular summits at a time when transatlantic relations are increasingly volatile.For more, check out our report Ukraine and Beyond: Shaping Europe's Security Future and our Europe & Central Asia page.

Donald Macleod investigates the life of a Renaissance genius, Giovanni da PalestrinaGiovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c.1525-1594) was one of the most influential composers in European classical music. With his countless masses, motets and madrigals, infused with a deep sense of spirituality and musical beauty, Palestrina was named the 'Saviour of Church Music' at a revolutionary time when Rome was rewriting the rules of music composition. But what do we know about this mysterious character, between historical fact and hagiographic myth? Donald Macleod follows the clues, to try and reconstruct the story of a fascinating composer, on the (approximately) 500th anniversary of his birth.Music Featured: Sicut cervus Laudate pueri Pueri hebraeorum (arr for dobro) Puer qui natus est Missa Assumpta est Maria (excerpt) Josquin des Prez: O virgo prudentissima Josquin des Prez: Fortuna d'un gran tempo Costanzo Festa: Sancta Maria succurre miseris Sacred Madrigals, Book 2, Città di Dio Ricercar del primo tuono Magnificat Primi toni Missa Ecce sacerdos magnus (Sanctus) Quam pulchri sunt gressus tui Pulchra es, amica mea (arr Volbers for recorder ensemble) Missa Papae Marcelli (excerpt) Vergine bella… Vergine saggia… Vestiva i colli Sabbato Sancto: Lectio III, Incipit oratio Ieremiae prophetae Motecta festorum totius anni cum Communi Sanctorum – liber primus Misso Herodes Nicola Vicentino: Jerusalem convertere Cristóbal de Morales: Gaude et laetare, Ferrariensis civitas Motecta festorum totius anni cum Communi Sanctorum (Fuit homo missus a Deo) Missa Papae Marcelli (Sanctus) Ricercar del secondo tuono Missa sine nomine a 6 arr Johann Sebastian Bach L'homme armé (exceprt) Adoramus te Christe arr Leopold Stokowski for orchestra O admirabile commercium Missa Ut re mi fa sol la (excerpt) Io son ferito (instrumental version) Missa Brevis (excerpt) Canite tuba (arr for brass ensemble) Deh hor foss'io col vago della luna (on a text by Petrarch) Offertoria totius anni (Jubilate Deo) arr A.
