Podcasts about Boudica

Tras ser despojada de sus tierras y ver su cultura atacada y a su gente torturada y esclavizada, una líder celta temible y formidable se alzó decidida a reclamar lo que legítimamente pertenecía al pueblo de Britania. A pesar de su desprecio, los romanos no tardarían en temer el espíritu indomable y la determinación inquebrantable de una mujer llamada Boudica. La historia de esta reina guerrera que desafió al poderoso imperio Romano, la ha convertido en un ejemplo de valentía, resistencia y fuerza femenina frente a la tiranía.

We're on a break at the moment to get married and enjoy a bit of time either side of our wedding, but, to fill the gap, this is the second of two new compilation episodes containing a trio of stories from across our earlier series. We have entitled this episode Three Tragedies, because these stories all involve the impacts of loss – be that the loss of an idea, the loss of a way of living, or the loss of a person whose absence has rippled across time ever since. They include our second-lap Devon story, Kitty Jay's Grave, our recent Essex story, The Rage of Boudica, and our rather sad ghost story from our Series 6 Leicestershire episode, Route 616 – so have a hanky ready if you're inclined to get weepy.We really hope you enjoy them, and we'll be back on Monday with our next County Episode all about the history and folklore of Wiltshire, which will be the first of 'The Final Five' episodes marking the end of our second lap all around England's 39 historic counties!The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

On this week's episode of Three Ravens we're off to Essex, exploring the history and folklore of a county that has everything. Apart from mountains...We start off discussing April Fool's Day, which has a surprisingly long legacy, after which we embark for Essex!We begin by talking about a bunch of strange historical quirks in the county, including lots of things to do with ponds - ones in which dead pirates have oak trees growing out of their chests, or where, for centuries, people have been drawn out into Epping Forest to end their own lives, or the one where Matthew Hopkins, Witch Finder General, began his reign of terror ducking witches. All before Martin gets salty, jammy, and slightly fishy in pursuit of this week's County Dish...Next, we dig into some folklore, including six different dragon legends, a contender for the title of 'England's Most Haunted House,' Ralph of Coggeshall and more, all informed by some excerpts from Saturday's upcoming Local Legends interview with Ailsa Clarke and Bethan Briggs-Miller, hosts of the brilliant Eerie Essex podcast.Then it's on to the main event: Martin's telling of "The Rage of Boudica." So, if you're even partway Roman, you'd best start running now!We really hope you enjoy the episode, and we will be back on Thursday with a new Magic and Medicines bonus episode about Leech Books and Early Medical Texts, all before the full interview with Ailsa and Bethan comes out on Saturday!The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.

This week on Royally Screwed, we're talking about Boudica, the queen of the Iceni tribe in Celtic Britain. As Rome comes barreling across the island in its attempts to solidify its conquest, it ended up making plenty of enemies. But no enemy was able to shake the empire to its core like her. So, who was Boudica, and how did she come to make it so that even Emperor Nero had second thoughts about a British invasion?Subscribe for more episodes as they come.Twitter: @Denim_CreekInstagram: denimcreekproMusic:Intro/Outro: “Life O' the Lavish” - Jules Gaia, “Smooth Passenger” - White Bones, "“Dayfreak” - White Bones, “Action rock_full” - Radio_Parma, “In Next Life” - UneasyCopyright 2025, Denim Creek Productions

This week we return to everyone's least favorite island, Great Britain. But we're going way back in time to some double digit years to talk about badass Celtic queen, Boudica. Our tale picks up when the Romans decided to do the one thing you shouldn't do to a woman made out of fury and vengeance, and that's underestimate her. And cue Bodies by Drowning Pool, because that's the best way to describe what happens next. Enjoy!

We're back with Season Eight of the Dead Ladies Show Podcast!  In this episode, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire brings us the story of Boudica, an ancient British queen who fought the Romans. Though she led her Iceni tribe in a rebellion, the Romans prevailed, but wrote a fair bit about her in the history books.  In her afterlife, Boudica became a mascot for the suffragettes but also co-opted as a symbol for all things British; also, Enya wrote a song about her.  DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens joins producer/host Susan Stone to set the stage.   Get more info on Boudica in our episode notes: https://deadladiesshow.com/2025/3/xx/podcast-79-boudica/ For more on the Boudica-inspired perfume Susan mentioned, look here:   https://www.boudiccawode.com/ Dead Ladies NYC has a show March 6 — find out more here on their newsletter: https://deadladiesshow.substack.com/ And in Berlin we are celebrating 10 years of DLS!

The most legendary Celtic woman was Boudica, the warrior queen who led a revolt against the Romans almost 2,000 years ago. But new analysis suggests she might have been the norm, not the exception. 最赫赫有名的凯尔特女性是布狄卡，这位女武士王后曾在近 2000 年前带头反抗罗马人的统治。但最新的分析结果显示，她所代表的女性统治者在当时可能是一种常态而非特例。 Archaeologists excavated 57 skeletons of people from the Durotriges tribe in Dorset. DNA sequencing of the genes passed from mother to daughter, compared to from father to son, revealed that most of the women were blood relatives. By contrast, the men were from lots of different communities, effectively outsiders. Dr Lara Cassidy, from Trinity College, Dublin, says this shows the society was matrilocal, meaning men moved to join their wives and families. 考古学家在多赛特郡挖掘出了属于杜罗特里吉部落成员的 57 具骨架。由母亲遗传给给女儿的基因的 DNA 测序结果与父亲遗传给儿子的相比，显示出大多数女性之间都具有血缘关系。而与普遍具有血缘关系的女性不同，男性则来自许多不同的家族，实际上都是血缘关系中的外来人。都柏林大学圣三一学院的劳拉·卡西迪博士说，这个研究结果显示出当时的社会有入赘的习俗，即男性会迁移以陪伴其妻子和家庭。 Inheriting land and wealth did not mean the daughters were political rulers, but they would have had significant influence. The scientists discovered the same DNA pattern in other Iron Age cemeteries. Perhaps Boudica was just one in a land of powerful women calling the shots at a time of great upheaval. 虽然继承土地和财富并不意味着女性后代会成为政治上的统治者，但她们可能有着显著的影响力。科学家们在其它铁器时代的墓葬中发现了相同的女性血缘更普遍的 DNA 遗传模式。也许在那段动荡的历史中，布狄卡只是在这片土地上做主的有权势的女性中的一员。

EMPEROR AGRIPPINA THE YOUNGER WAS THE DREAM:  1/8:: Nero: Matricide, Music, and Murder in Imperial Rome by  Anthony Everitt  (Author), Roddy Ashworth  (Author) https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/sunspot-update-after-going-through-the-roof-last-month-sunspots-drop-into-the-attic-this-month/ There are many infamous stories about the Roman emperor Nero: He set fire to Rome and thrummed his lyre as it burned. Cruel, vain, and incompetent, he then cleared the charred ruins and built a vast palace. He committed incest with his mother, who had schemed and killed to place him on the throne, and later murdered her. Nero has long been the very image of a bad ruler, a legacy left behind by the historians of his day, who despised him. But there is a mystery. For a long time after his death, anonymous hands laid flowers on his grave. The monster was loved. In this nuanced biography, Anthony Everitt, the celebrated biographer of classical Greece and Rome, and investigative journalist Roddy Ashworth reveal the contradictions inherent in Nero and offer a reappraisal of his life. Contrary to popular memory, the empire was well managed during his reign. He presided over diplomatic triumphs and Rome's epic conquest of Britain and British queen Boudica's doomed revolt against Nero's legions. He was also a champion of arts and culture who loved music, and he won the loyalty of the lower classes with fantastic spectacles. He did not set fire to Rome. 1799 Agrippina the Younger

Former veterinary surgeon turned author, columnist and podcaster Manda Scott explores the need for new narratives that challenge existing economic, cultural and environmental paradigms perpetuating scarcity and powerlessness. Manda critiques current economic systems and advocates for serotonin-driven behaviours over dopamine-centric lifestyles, emphasising transformative corporate governance models and changes in media. Through a thrutopian lens, Manda promotes value-based systems prioritising stakeholder representation and environmental sustainability. Calling for a shift from  trauma-driven frameworks to an initiation culture that focuses on healing and connection, Manda urges us to consider the long-term impact of our actions for future generations and to reconnect to the web of life.   KEY TAKEAWAY ‘If we begin to evolve the serotonin mesh of connection to other people, to ourselves first of all, create that sense of connectedness inside, connection to other people, communities of place, purpose and passion, and connect to the web of life, the more than human world, then I can ask for help, and that help will be given.'   BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS* Any Human Power by Manda Scott - https://amzn.eu/d/gsRGYkF Civilised to Death by Christopher Ryan - https://amzn.eu/d/aPDMfAi The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow - https://amzn.eu/d/iLtIyjQ   ABOUT MANDA In 2016, Manda read for a Masters in Regenerative Economics from Schumacher College, which led her to co-create the Accidental Gods membership programme and podcast, each of which aims to facilitate emergence into a new, regenerative system we'd be proud to leave to the generations that come after us. Her latest novel, Any Human Power, described by Lee Child as 'Instantly immersive and compelling, rich and strange, human and humane', weaves currents of shamanic mythology similar to those in the Boudica series through a ‘Thrutopian' thriller of political upheaval and transformative change. She lives in the edge place between England and Wales with her wife and assorted animals.    Image credit Faith Tilleray    CONNECT WITH MANDA LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/mandascottauthor/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MandaScottAuthor Twitter https://twitter.com/MandaScott Mastodon https://mastodon.scot/@Eceni BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/mandascott.bsky.social YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@AccidentalGods     ABOUT AMY Amy is a Life Purpose Coach, Podcast Strategist, Global Podcaster, Speaker and Mastermind Host.

In 61 CE, Boudica of the Iceni led a bloody revolt to end Roman rule in Britain. Roman historians tell us with great drama and flair that the grand finale is a huge battle between Boudica and the Roman governor, Suetonius. Tens of thousands of Celtic warriors went head-to-head with a small force of veteran legionaries to decide the fate of Roman Britain.Today we're joined by Caitlin Gillespie, a historian and author of Boudica: Warrior Woman of Roman Britain. She tells us the story of this revolt, the famed warrior queen who led it, and how it all ended.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

In this episode, I speak with the host of the 'Accidental Gods Podcast' and Author of the recent book 'Any Human Power'.. Manda Scott.. Manda and I first discuss the need for humanity to reconnect with the web of life, and listen to the teachings from it. We then discuss the power of paradigms and narratives, how humanity may have have evolved into a roadblock, and how we may need new narratives to lay the foundations for a new earth. We also talk about the power of language and how consciousness, language, and rituals, are the main components to forging an authentic reality experience. From there we discuss many other narratives currently in the mix such as; starseeds, the purpose of humanity, and where we might land as humans after the ascension process.. An incredible episode!mandascott.co.uk - accidentalgods.lifeManda Scott Bio:Manda Scott trained and worked as a veterinary surgeon before becoming an author, columnist and podcaster.Her debut novel, Hen's Teeth, was shortlisted for the Orange Prize. Subsequent works were shortlisted for the Edgar and Saltire Awards and won the McIlvanney Prize, but it is for her Boudica: Dreaming series that she is best known. Weaving her shamanic spirituality into narratives of Britain's pre-Roman past, these books bring alive a world in which people understand their inherent connection with the web of life.More recently, she read for a Masters in Regenerative Economics at Schumacher, the experience of which led her to set up Accidental Gods podcast and Membership Programme. Each of these explicitly aims to bring humanity closer to emergence into a connected, regenerative system by offering practices of inter-becoming within the Membership and by giving voice to the many individuals working for systemic change in the podcast.This year sees the publication of her sixteenth novel, Any Human Power, a ‘visionary' contemporary political thriller that maps fictional – but plausible and workable – routes toward a future we'd all be proud to leave to the generations that come after us: human and more-than-human. Described by Lee Child as ‘Instantly immersive and compelling, rich and strange, human and humane', the book weaves currents of shamanic mythology similar to those in the Boudica series through a ‘Thrutopian' narrative of political upheaval and transformative change.She is currently writing the sequel, while aiming to bring the podcast to a wider audience. She lives with her wife, Faith Tilleray,on a smallholding in the edge-zone between England and Wales. One day, they'll go home to Scotland… Hosted on Acast.

This week our guest is JAR contributor Liam Connor. In the ancient world, Iceni Queen Boudica rocked the Roman World. During the Revolution, some drew parallels. For more information visit www.allthingsliberty.com. 

Queen Boudicca of the Iceni is by far one of the most impressive queens I have ever read about. Boudicca grew up in a time before the Romans came to Britain, but in her adult life, she had to deal with constant Roman oppression against her pepole. When the Romans refused to honour the will of her husband and attacked her and her daughters, she called upon her fellow Celts. She started one of the most destructive rebellions that the Romans ever dealt with, all to avenge her pepole and her children. Join me on today's episode to learn about her remarkable story.

Do all roads lead to Rome? We find out in today's episode all about one of the Roman Empire's greatest legacies - it's web-like network of roads and route-ways. From the famous Via Appia, the longest road in mainland Italy, to Watling Street, the road on which Boudica was defeated, Rome's roads left an indelible mark on the territories their centurions conquered.But what do we actually know about these ancient streets and pathways? What was road travel like back in Roman times? And most importantly, what was their equivalent of a service station?To explain all this and much more Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr Catherine Fletcher, author of a new book called The Roads to Rome.

TWO THOUSAND YEARS OF ACTORS AND EMPIRES: 5/8:: Nero: Matricide, Music, and Murder in Imperial Rome by  Anthony Everitt  (Author), Roddy Ashworth  (Author) https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/sunspot-update-after-going-through-the-roof-last-month-sunspots-drop-into-the-attic-this-month/ There are many infamous stories about the Roman emperor Nero: He set fire to Rome and thrummed his lyre as it burned. Cruel, vain, and incompetent, he then cleared the charred ruins and built a vast palace. He committed incest with his mother, who had schemed and killed to place him on the throne, and later murdered her. Nero has long been the very image of a bad ruler, a legacy left behind by the historians of his day, who despised him. But there is a mystery. For a long time after his death, anonymous hands laid flowers on his grave. The monster was loved. In this nuanced biography, Anthony Everitt, the celebrated biographer of classical Greece and Rome, and investigative journalist Roddy Ashworth reveal the contradictions inherent in Nero and offer a reappraisal of his life. Contrary to popular memory, the empire was well managed during his reign. He presided over diplomatic triumphs and Rome's epic conquest of Britain and British queen Boudica's doomed revolt against Nero's legions. He was also a champion of arts and culture who loved music, and he won the loyalty of the lower classes with fantastic spectacles. He did not set fire to Rome. 1778 ROME

 A ROMAN IRON AGE EMPEROR FAILS  ON THE GREEK BRONZE AGE STAGE. 1/8: Nero: Matricide, Music, and Murder in Imperial Rome by  Anthony Everitt  (Author), Roddy Ashworth  (Author) https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/sunspot-update-after-going-through-the-roof-last-month-sunspots-drop-into-the-attic-this-month/ There are many infamous stories about the Roman emperor Nero: He set fire to Rome and thrummed his lyre as it burned. Cruel, vain, and incompetent, he then cleared the charred ruins and built a vast palace. He committed incest with his mother, who had schemed and killed to place him on the throne, and later murdered her. Nero has long been the very image of a bad ruler, a legacy left behind by the historians of his day, who despised him. But there is a mystery. For a long time after his death, anonymous hands laid flowers on his grave. The monster was loved. In this nuanced biography, Anthony Everitt, the celebrated biographer of classical Greece and Rome, and investigative journalist Roddy Ashworth reveal the contradictions inherent in Nero and offer a reappraisal of his life. Contrary to popular memory, the empire was well managed during his reign. He presided over diplomatic triumphs and Rome's epic conquest of Britain and British queen Boudica's doomed revolt against Nero's legions. He was also a champion of arts and culture who loved music, and he won the loyalty of the lower classes with fantastic spectacles. He did not set fire to Rome. 1902
