The latest, and one of the most intriguing, is Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars, codesigned by Paolo Mori and Alessandro Zucchini. Today on the Space-Cast!, we dive into the creation of this approachable hex-and-counter title, including its creators' aversion to combat results tables, their choice of battles, and why they decided to publish under their own label. 

On today's Land Warfare Series program, sponsored American Rheinmetall, Maj. Gen. Tom Feltey, the commander of the US Army's 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, Texas, along with Col. Nick Dvonch, the division's artillery commander, and Col. Jose Reyes, the commander of the 2nd Armored Brigade “Blackjack,” join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the 26-02 brigade certification rotation last month at the National Training Center where the 1st Cav's novel waves-based approach to create advantage in highly contested future battlefields, whether in Europe, Asia or elsewhere, was tested under operational conditions.

With special guest: Dr Will Davies… in conversation with Bill Kable The battlefields of World War 1 are now mostly beautiful green fields with some still hiding bullets and ordinance from over 100 years ago. To fully appreciate the sacrifices made in the First World War by young Australians from “the Golden Generation” you have to know what you are looking at when you see these fields more than 100 years after the shots were fired. Our guest today Dr Will Davies can help visitors get the most out of a visit. After hearing the stories from Will, names like Pozieres, Mouquet Farm, Fromelles and Ypres will never seem the same. There are extraordinary monuments representing the countries that participated in the war to end all wars. These include the English, the American, the Canadian, even one from Newfoundland. And there is the Australian monument at Villers-Bretonneux. Podcast (mp3)

In the wake of summits in Alaska and Washington, the war in Ukraine has become as much about competing diplomatic positions as it is about hard realities on the front. Ryan sat down with Dara Massicot and Mike Kofman to discuss what Putin really walked away with, how European leaders are trying to shore up Kyiv's position, and whether the conversation over security guarantees could reshape the balance of the conflict. Along the way, they dig into the debate over territorial concessions, battlefield attrition, and what all of this means for Ukraine's ability to endure. This episode is supported by Legion.

Join us for an explosive episode of Joe Untamed as we dive into the heart of America's urban crisis and the change in federal law enforcement. Exactly one week after President Trump's bold declaration of "Liberation Day" in Washington, D.C., we unpack the dramatic takeover of the city's policing with retired Air Force Colonel Berney Flowers. As a former congressional candidate, author, and podcast host, Berney brings his unique perspective from nearly 21 years of military service, including deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ukraine, to dissect the failures of state leadership in Maryland and the potential blueprint Trump's DC crackdown offers for other high-crime areas. We'll explore whether this is a temporary fix or a model for the future, and how his experiences in conflict zones shape his views on domestic safety. But that's not all—our second guest, Kyle Seraphin, a suspended FBI whistleblower turned relentless reformer, will expose the rot within the bureau under the new leadership of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino. With Kyle's firsthand account of the FBI's mishandling of cases like January 6 and the Epstein client list, we'll uncover the corruption that has plagued the organization and question whether Patel and Bongino can truly turn the tide. From Kyle's daily show on Rumble to his sharp critiques on X, this episode promises to ignite your passion for truth and justice. Don't miss this unfiltered, hard-hitting conversation that could redefine your understanding of crime, corruption, and the fight for bringing America back.

Mountain forest late night into early morning Eld Ridge (10pm-2am), overlooking the Battlefields of Antietam.A few days late this week as I was at the final Wu-Tang New York City show and then a stay near Antietam for my wife's birthday (Happy birthday, hon!). My Wu-review contact-high influenced (no one tell my mom) and punctuative-free bluesky-cap is here (and give us a follow). Special thanks to my bff for inviting me along, the experience was transcendent (Big Daddy Kane showed up!).Also I really tried to pick up some unique NYC sounds while I was there but there were no real good opportunities. You can walk around Gotham with a ****** film crew and no one bats an eye, but the minute you break out just a microphone everyone wants to know what the **** you're doing. Bluh.But! Antietam was just what the doctor ordered after shuffling through one of America's busiest places. Wide open spaces, chatty bugs, and very few people. Spend the night.

Thomas and Aimen return to tackle a barrage of listener questions in this special Q&A episode, offering unparalleled insights into the ever-shifting landscape of Middle Eastern geopolitics. We begin with a deep dive into the recent US strikes on Iran, where Aimen details the real impact of "Bunker Buster" bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities. Did they cause the destruction that many in the US government are claiming? The pair then discuss your questions about the prospect of a more comprehensive Middle East peace deal, outlining the critical conditions, including Iran's nuclear ambitions and its ‘triple-H' network of proxies. Aimen then sheds light on the complex negotiations involving Syria and Lebanon, revealing the potential for non-aggression pacts, albeit with significant concessions and challenges posed by entrenched ideological factions. The focus shifts to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the contentious rise of Israeli-backed "popular forces" there, before moving on to the broader theological principles that justify jihad in response to state-sponsored injustice. Finally, we expand our geographical scope to the increasingly dire situation in the Sahel region of West Africa, where jihadist groups like JNIM are rapidly gaining ground.

Send us a textWhat happens when anger transforms into acceptance? When betrayal leads to forgiveness? When rage opens the door to healing? This powerful episode brings together three extraordinary individuals who've walked through fire and emerged with wisdom that could change your life.Bruce Cardenas, a former Marine who built a billion-dollar nutrition brand, shares the gut-wrenching story of business betrayal that would have broken many. Instead of seeking vengeance, he chose forgiveness—a choice informed by asking forgiveness from his own brother and watching his son battle alcoholism. His revelation that "life is extremely short" offers a perspective that makes holding grudges seem like precious time wasted.Military veteran Amy takes us through her decade-long battle with anger after returning from Afghanistan. When conventional treatments failed, she found breakthrough in ancient plant medicines that allowed her to physically release trauma stored in her body. Her simple yet profound tools for healing—breath work, journaling, and gratitude practice—cost nothing but offer everything.Actor and former metal band frontman Jacob Wilson courageously reveals his journey from self-hatred to self-acceptance as a gay man in environments that rejected his identity. Now working in Hollywood, he demonstrates how leading with love and authenticity creates genuine connections in an industry known for toxicity and transactional relationships.The thread connecting these diverse stories? Understanding that beneath anger lies pain—often the pain of a wounded inner child "screaming for help." This perspective shift transforms how we view not just our own anger, but the anger we encounter in others.Whether you're carrying resentment, battling addiction, healing from trauma, or simply seeking more meaningful connections, these stories remind us that the path forward always involves the choice to default to love. Ready to make that choice in your own life? This episode gives you both the inspiration and practical tools to begin.To connect more with Dr. Harte, book a FREE discovery call!https://calendly.com/drharte/free-discovery-call-w-dr-harteSupport the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney#personalgrowth#personaldevelopment#sobermovement#recoveroutloud#sobercurious#sobermoms#soberwomen#author#soberauthor#purpose#passion#perspective

In more modern battles, small farm compounds like La Haye Sainte and Hougoumont played pivotal roles in the fighting. But in ancient warfare, we rarely see small villas or farmsteads having a similar impact on battles. Why is that? Were these features less significant in ancient combat, or are there examples where small built-up areas shaped the course of battle?

What better episode to bring back than Mike Pereira now that we're deep into the football season and he's now actually in the booth with the very Tom Brady he references in this episode from earlier this year. Enjoy. When Mike Pereira steps into a room—or onto a field—stories and wisdom seem to follow him like a shadow on a sunny day. In our latest episode, this Stockton native, who's traversed an incredible path from NFL official to Fox Sports commentator, doesn't just share his journey; he lets us in on the intimate pivots and touchdowns of a life dedicated to the love of the game. As he discusses the warm camaraderie of his broadcasting team and his recovery from back surgery, you'll feel the strength of the sports community and the genuine excitement for what the future holds, including working with famed quarterback Tom Brady. Discovering one's passion can often come from the most unexpected of places, and for Mike, it was the reluctant step into his father's officiating shoes that revealed his true calling. This episode reveals Mike's early reluctance, the transformative power of taking that first whistle, and the ripple effect that passion can have across a lifetime. His candid recounting of financial struggles and serendipitous opportunities serves as a reminder that sometimes our greatest achievements are waiting just beyond the horizon of our comfort zones. Lastly, Mike's legacy, which stretches far beyond the end zones and playbooks is Battlefields to Ballfields. A testament to his commitment to giving back, providing veterans with a renewed sense of community through the world of sports officiating. Mike's dedication to honoring service members and supporting them in their transition to civilian life is as moving as it is impactful, demonstrating that the true measure of a person's career is not in the titles they've held, but in the lives they've touched. This is surely one uncommon trajectory to the highest and most respected commentary on the game in play when it comes to the rules and the on-field calls.

With his feature documentary debut In the Trenches: The Making of Before Dawn, Benjamin Scotford has made a rare achievement within the Australian film industry: a behind the scenes documentary which follows the muddy and tough production of Before Dawn, Jordan Prince Wright's equally rare achievement, an indie war flick shot in the remote West Aussie landscape. Benjamin dives into the ditches of this WW1 epic, taking audiences behind the scenes for the highs, the lows, and the difficulties that the production faces with pulling off the impossible on a micro-budget.Benjamin is given unparalleled access to the production, capturing honest and open discussions from cast and crew that shows off the strength that it took to bring Before Dawn to life. From freezing cold rain to escaping sheep to earthquake level explosions, In the Trenches captures it all.In the following discussion, Benjamin talks about his entry point into documentary filmmaking, how working as a wedding videographer and on corporate gigs with local legends like Tony Galati aka the Spud King informed his guerilla style filmmaking, and the kinds of behind the scenes docos that inspired his work.In the Trenches is currently available on Bluray and DVD via CaptureBehindTheScenes.com.au.For those who are also keen to check out Before Dawn, head over to Umbrella Entertainment where you can buy it on physical media, or to Netflix where it's available to stream. Before Dawn recently took home the award for Best Sound at the WA Screen Culture Awards, where the film also received nominations for Narrative Feature Film with budget over $1m, Best Cinematography or Visualisation, Best Performance for Myles Pollard, and Best Original Music.

Get ready for a spooky adventure on this week's Mystery Kids Podcast! We're uncovering the eerie tales of ghost armies, phantom soldiers, and battlefield hauntings from history. From the Ghost Army of WWII to spectral soldiers in Gettysburg, these ghostly warriors may still be fighting long after their battles ended.

The 17th-century battlefield ushered in a new era, with formed musketeers and pistol-wielding cavalry gradually taking over from the knights and men-at-arms that had dominated the European battlefield. But knights could still be found on these battlefields as late as the 1640s, proudly donning their full-plated armor as their lightly clad compatriots looked on in a mix of envy and confusion. What were they doing fighting 17th-century battles?Today's guest is Myke Cole, author of “Steel Lobsters: Crown , Commonwealth, and the Last Knights in England.” We examine the life and times of Sir Arthur Hesilrige and his Regiment of Horse, known as "the Lobsters" as they were encased in plate armor. We cover the full history of England's last knights, from the seeds of their creation in Hesilrige's experience as a young cavalry officer, to their final defeat at Roundway Down in July 1643, and the decision to abandon their armor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the key to healing trauma lies in the unexpected fusion of military discipline and psychedelic therapy? This episode features an enlightening conversation with Army veteran Mark Cunningham, who reveals his journey from the battlefields of Afghanistan to the nuanced world of MDMA-assisted therapy. With a rich background in anthropology and marriage and family therapy, Mark shares how his experiences overseas not only reshaped his view of military service but also fueled his passion for addressing moral injury and PTSD among veterans. His story serves as a powerful testament to the transformative potential of sharing one's experiences in the quest for healing.Together, we explore the profound impact of military service on personal identity and moral beliefs, diving deep into concepts like moral injury and its distinction from PTSD. Mark introduces wisdom from figures like Claude Anshin Thomas and Thich Nhat Hanh, highlighting the role of mindfulness and Zen Buddhism in addressing these complex issues. We also venture into the evolutionary lessons from our primate relatives, bonobos and chimpanzees, examining what their cultural adaptations can teach us about human evolution and the modern challenges young men face in defining masculinity.The episode wraps up with a look at the transformative power of MDMA-assisted therapy and the broader societal implications of psychedelic use. Mark shares insights from his therapeutic practice, discussing how MDMA therapy can calm the fear response and foster trust, offering veterans a path to profound healing. We also touch on cultural perspectives around psychedelics, considering decriminalization efforts in Portugal and cannabis legalization in Colorado. As Mark and I reflect on our own journeys, we emphasize the importance of community and shared experiences, underscoring the healing power of connection for veterans transitioning to civilian life.

The history of each battlefield is followed by the classic ghost stories that have been around since the guns fell silent. Mark Nesbitt also collected newer stories and attempted a paranormal investigation, including Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), at many of the sites to see what could be found. In some cases, the results were astounding.Some of the spirits included in the book are the Headless Zouave at Bull Run, the Drummer Boy at Shiloh, and the Phantom Battalion at Gettysburg. Ghosts appear at the Bloody Lane at Antietam and Caroline Street in Fredericksburg, as well as sites at Chancellorsville, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Petersburg, and Appomattox Court House. A special section of the book explores the haunted Civil War prisons at Johnson's Island in Ohio, Point Lookout in Maryland, and Andersonville in Georgia. Abraham Lincoln's many White House apparitions are discussed in a section on wartime Washington, D.C.Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio]

When you think about connections between science and war, the obvious links are in technology—advanced radar, spy satellites, more powerful explosives—and in medical innovations that seek to heal the wounds caused by conflict. But in a new book, Stories are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind, author Annalee Newitz says that stories and narrative can be weapons too, used in battle on a psychological battlefield.Ira talks with Newitz about the history of psychological warfare, from Sun Tzu to Benjamin Franklin, and its modern American incarnation under the guidance of Paul Linebarger, who was also a science fiction author known by the pen name Cordwainer Smith. They discuss the characteristics of a psyop, how techniques of psychological warfare have been co-opted into modern politics, and whether there's a route toward “psychological disarmament.”Read an excerpt from Stories are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
