You may have heard of the female ruler in Celtic Britain, Boudicca, who fought a rebellion against the invading Roman Empire.To the Romans, and perhaps to us, the idea of such a powerful matriarch could be seen as quite a rare thing, but new research from an archaeological site in Dorsets could suggest that women in Britain in this era were often in positions of power.Dr. Lara Cassidy is Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics in Trinity College Dublin and the lead author of the study. She joins Seán to discuss.

In this episode, host Ellie Woodacre interviews Stephanie McCarter about her new book Women in Power: Classical Myths and Stories from the Amazons to Cleopatra (Penguin Books, 2024). As we discuss in the episode, this work brings together excerpts from Classical texts which discuss the life and rule of a variety of women, from mythical figures like the Amazons, to a range of ruling queens including well known figures like Zenobia, Boudicca and Cleopatra to those who aren't often discussed, like Salome Alexandra or Amanirenas. Guest Bio:Stephanie McCarter is professor of Classics at the University of the South in Sewanee, where she has taught since 2008. Her teaching and research interests include Latin poetry, translation theory and practice, gender and sexuality in classical antiquity, feminist reception of the classics, and Greek and Roman philosophy and ethics. McCarter's books include Horace between Freedom and Slavery (University of Wisconsin Press, 2015) as well as two works of translation, Horace's Epodes, Odes, and Carmen Saeculare (University of Oklahoma Press, 2020) and Ovid's Metamorphoses (Penguin Classics, 2022), which won the 2023 Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from the Academy of American Poets. She has penned numerous academic articles in journals such as Classical Journal, Eugesta, and American Journal of Philology, as well as essays, translations, reviews, and interviews in The Washington Post, The Sewanee Review, Literary Hub, Electric Literature, Lapham's Quarterly, Hyperallergic, The Brooklyn Rail, and elsewhere. 

In the aftermath of Boudicca's uprising, the Romans felt they could not withdraw from the British Isles. They sent their most competent fighters and leaders to suppress the indigenous Britons in the south. As the Druids of Wales were defeated, and the resistant Caledonians were massacred, the process of Romanisation in Britain began. London became the urbanised imperial capital, and the Roman love of hot springs saw the development of Bath. And, forty years after their arrival, they finally reached the Highlands, conquering lands as north as Orkney. Listen as Tom and Dominic discuss how the Romans circumnavigated the British Isles, colonised its lands and returned to Rome as heroes. _______ LIVE SHOWS *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York. *The Rest Is History LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall* Tom and Dominic, accompanied by a live orchestra, take a deep dive into the lives and times of two of history's greatest composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.

“Two cities were sacked, eighty thousand of the Romans and of their allies perished, and the island was lost to Rome. Moreover, all this ruin was brought upon by a woman...” Few figures have statues dedicated to them in the towns they incinerated. But Boudicca was no ordinary figure. With a name that means “she who brings victory”, Boudicca was Rome's supervillain. She was a freedom fighter who stood up to the greatest imperial power in the world. In 60 AD, Boudicca led her Iceni army to attack Colchester and London, cities left bare and vulnerable without fortifications. But the Romans would not accept such defeats without taking revenge… Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss the life of the first vivid personality in British history, a fierce tale of a warrior queen. _______ LIVE SHOWS *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York. *The Rest Is History LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall* Tom and Dominic, accompanied by a live orchestra, take a deep dive into the lives and times of two of history's greatest composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.

In this episode of the Bridge Series, Danny Hurst reaches Westminster Bridge, Central London's second-oldest bridge. Danny explains why at certain times of the day, the shadows cast by the bridge look like huge phallic symbols, why many paintings of the bridge are not accurate and why 12 nightwatchmen had to be stationed on the bridge.  He also explains why it is painted green, what that little hut on the edge of Westminster Pier is used for and its connection with the Daleks, Blofeld and Danny Boyle. If you can´t get enough of these podcasts, head to https://www.patreon.com/DannyHurst to access my exclusive, member-only, fun-filled and fact-packed history-related videos. KEY TAKEAWAYS Pressure from the Archbishop of Canterbury and the ferrymen meant that Westminster Bridge nearly did not get built. Many of the early paintings of the bridge include architectural features that the bridge does not have.  The design of the bridge made it a dream location for muggers and pickpockets. BEST MOMENTS ‘This poem can be found on a plaque halfway across the bridge. ´ ‘These are among the few remaining gas lamps in the UK and are maintained by a specialist team.' ‘Boudicca has been inaccurately represented as an English hero for generations.'

James Joyce. That was me at school as well. Ironically, I ended up becoming a historian. The Unusual Histories podcast is all about the history you don't learn at school, nor indeed anywhere else. Discover things that you didn't know that you didn't know, fascinating historical luminaries and their vices and addictions, and the other numerous sides of every story. Danny continues his Unusual Histories podcast with the Bridge Series, remaining in London travelling east to west to look at the bridges which span the Thames. He looks at their design, construction and history, along with the history of the areas in which they're located on both sides of the river. This series kicks off with an exclusive interview with Dirk Bennett of the City Bridge Foundation, the organisation which looks after London's bridges. Tower Bridge is marking its 130th anniversary this month and Dirk talks to Danny about the history of the bridge as well as the new exhibition that is opening for it.

Author Gunivortus Goos joins me to talk about the long awaited (by me especially) English translation of his book on Nehalennia.  The book is avaialable in German, Dutch, and now English.  The English title is: Nehalennia: Divine Lady of Prosperity, Trade and Safe Crossings.  It is now available via Amazon throughout the world and in Europe on BoD Buchshop.  Nehalennia is a Dutch Goddess who was revered and honored in the area controlled by the Romans of the first - second centuries in what is now the southern west coast of the Netherlands.  After that time, Nehalennia was lost to the oceans and time and evidence was literally fished up in the 17th century in the form of votive stones, revealing an acitive practice of honoring her.  Goos and I talk about Nehalennia, a bit about her origins,  about the process of researching and bringing the information together for the original printing of the book, and about bringing in into an English version.    The book has minor updates of new finds and information not in the German or English editions.  Goos has many other books available on a variety of other Gods, Goddesses, and topics which you can find more about at his website Boudicca. There you can find books in German and Dutch as well as other essays.  Goos has been on the podcast before to talk about his works: Mist Witches (episode 59) and Frau Holle and Germanic Magic (episode 41).  If you want to learn more the history that we know of about this obscure Dutch Goddess who now has a devoted following, have a listen and order the book.  # # # Use my special link to save 30% off your first month of any Zencastr paid plan.

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.

Connie's running out of time to write a play on the roman invasion of Britain for her drama class, so she asks Uncle Chris and his community theatre company to lend her a hand!‘Silence!

In our last ep, we talked about the warrior queen whose name pronunciation baffles many as it turns out- Boudicca. (It's usually boo-dik-ah, btw) I thought it was just me. Anyway, turns out there are a bunch of other warrior Queens we've mostly never heard of…what a shock, eh? So this episode covers a handful of them. We hope you find it inspiring and realize that women have been amazing leaders since forever!

I love alliteration, OK? Boudicca/Boadicea was a Celtic Queen around 60AD who inspired and led a rebellion against the army of the Roman Empire. This episode goes over the history of the time period, and her story. She remains an enduring symbol of rebellion against the oppression, defiance of gender roles, and saying fuck you to the patriarchy ;) trigger warning: Kelly mispronouncing all kinds of Latin words, and also SA.

Beneath starched Shakespearean togas and the pungent fug of gladiator sweat there are real Romans waiting to be discovered. To know what it was to be Roman you need to gather the scattered clues until they form a living, breathing human, witness to the highs and horrors of Europe's greatest empire.Mary Beard, Britain's best-selling historian of the ancient world, rebuilds the lives of six citizens of the Roman Empire, from a poet to a squaddie. Her investigations reveal death and deceit on the Nile and the art of running a Roman pub, but it's the thoughts and feelings of individual Romans she's really interested in.It's 61CE. The rebellion of Boudicca has finally been quashed, but London and other Roman cities lie in ruins. A new finance officer for the province, Gaius Julius Classicianus arrives, to face an enormous recovery job. Standing in his way is the Governor, busy exacting terrible reprisals from the local population. Classicianus does what brave subordinates have done ever since. He whistle-blows – writing to the emperor to remove the Governor from British shores. The stage is set for an imperial face-off. For the people of Britain, the stakes could not be higher.Producer: Alasdair CrossExpert Contributors: Matthew Nicholls, University of Oxford and Michael Marshall, Museum of London ArchaeologyCast: Tacitus played by Robert WilfortTranslations by Mary BeardSpecial thanks to the British Museum

Join me and my guest Elizabeth as we discuss the nuances of masculine and feminine energies, beyond the confines of traditional gender roles. Elizabeth's multifaceted background as an artist, nurse, and mother provides a rich context to this engaging topic. Throughout the episode, we navigate the importance of acknowledging and harmonizing these energies within ourselves. Elizabeth's narrative on personal identity and my perspective on societal influences provide a balanced overview of the topic. Delve into how shifts in societal trends impact our understanding and expression of these energies.   Elizabeth Chewter bio: Born in England in 1964, I have lived nearly half my life in Michigan, USA. Both I call home.  My journey has been surprising to me, quite often delightful, sometimes disappointing, sometimes unbearable. Yet light burns brightly inside me and guides my path.    I am rediscovering both the cello and myself. I am an artist and writer in progress. By profession I am an oncology nurse.   I am wild and youthful at heart. My loves include the ocean, being in, on and next to water, adventure, risk, travel, dogs, cute furry creatures and large ocean dwellers, laughter, rocks and stones, and one special man. I love to ride horses though it's rare, and to bury my face in their warmth. I also love to ride my enormous, super cool Ducati Diavel (motorcyle) which brings me freedom and the exhilaration of high speed. My two daughters and my grandson are bright, bright lights in my life; I love them fiercely and forever.   Tall and strong, both feminine and masculine, I am Boudicca with a tender heart.  I was diagnosed with ADHD when 54 and this year I will turn 60, still a human in the making. I have many dreams yet to be realised and I am living day by day with hope at my core. There is so much more to come!   Follow on Instagram Listen on Spotify Listen on Apple Podcasts Read Elizabeth's blog Elizabeth's Facebook Elizabeth's Instagram

Rich and Mary discuss whether they might be on the site of Camelot, Boudicca's decision to level the place to the ground and what year it might have happened, plus the controversy over which month Pompeii met its fate. But mainly they talk about her fab book Emperor of Rome and her podcast Being Roman. Did the excesses and jokes of the Roman emperors really happen? Is Donald Trump like Elagabalus? How do we know that Augustus was called on to judge the case of the slave who killed someone with a chamber pot? Are we able to find out about the lives of ordinary Romans? And where is the earliest known depiction of the crucifixion and how would the person who drew it feel about it being discussed so many hundreds of years later?Buy the book here https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/emperor-of-rome-mary-beard/6331731Come and see RHLSTP on tour http://richardherring.com/rhlstp Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

I was never particularly interested in politics growing up. My father was an active social democrat, and I remember him jumping up and down with excitement when the SDP was formed, as David Owen, Roy Jenkins, and Shirley Williams broke away from the Labour Party. Even as a student, I never got interested beyond having a feeling that something wasn't right. I felt I should be left-wing - that that was the right thing to be, but I never felt particularly engaged, only alienated. My vague understanding of political ideology was that Stalin and the Bolsheviks were far left and Hitler and the Nazis were far right - I didn't realise Nazi meant national socialist back then - but that far left and far right were actually quite close in philosophy. Horseshoe theory, basically.It seemed actual far right was something that didn't really exist in the UK. There was Oswald Mosley, but he was a bit of a laughing stock, and the National Front was tiny and ineffectual. In my mid-to-late 30s, as a result of studying gold, sound money and limited government, I discovered libertarianism. For the first time, here was a political philosophy that resonated with me. Government is inherently incompetent, inefficient and inequitable. The more it does, the worse things seem to get. The less it does, the better. “A multiplicity of individual decisions,” to quote John Cowperthwaite, former Governor of Hong Kong, “will produce a better and wiser result than a single decision by a Government or by a board with its inevitably limited knowledge of the myriad factors involved, and its inflexibility.”It always amazes me that somebody who advocates peace, free trade, less government, and, in the case of anarchism and anarcho-capitalism, no government at all, can be sectioned off with Nazis and labelled far right. Far right involves more government not less. To say far-right libertarian, as the Guardian did the other day to describe Argentina's new president Javier Milei, is surely oxymoronic. Or maybe just plain moronic.At best it's lazy and ignorant. At worst it's the stuff of smearing and straw men, and wilfully dishonest. I used to think it's the former. Now most of the time I realise it's the latter.I am proud to have written the Libertarian National Anthem, which distils libertarian philosophy. The lyrics read:Arise libertarians above totalitariansOur guide is the mighty invisible hand.Reject state controllers, collectors, patrollers.Our choices are better than government plans.Taxation is a form of theft.Free markets and free trade are best.Free speech, free movement, free minds and free choice.Our actions are all voluntary,Not coerced or compulsory.War we abhor, socialism does not work.No debt or inflation, no stealth confiscation,No pigs in the trough at the gravy to drink,No state education to brainwash our nation,No experts dictate what to do, what to think.We scorn your fiat currency.Gold and bitcoin is our money.We own ourselves and we live and let live.We take responsibility.Life, love and liberty.Leave us alone, let a thousand flowers bloom.How is any of that far right?(If you want to watch the video of the above, which I heartily recommend, it is here). Buying gold in the uncertain times? My recommended bullion dealer is The Pure Gold Company, whether you are taking delivery or storing online. Premiums are low, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, US, Canada and Europe, or you can store your gold with them. I have an affiliation deal. More here.What actually is “far right'?Time for a Wikipedia definition: Historically, "far-right politics" has been used to describe the experiences of fascism, Nazism, and Falangism. That's what I thought. But here's the problem. They've done that change-the-definition thing:Contemporary definitions now include neo-fascism, neo-Nazism, the Third Position, the alt-right, racial supremacism and other ideologies or organizations that feature aspects of authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, theocratic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, or reactionary views. So, basically, now far right can be anything you don't agree with. The name derives from the left–right political spectrum, with the "far right" considered further from center than the standard political right.Of course, the whole prism of left and right is false, in any case. Authoritarian v libertarian is much more telling, and the political compass is the best scale of all. But so overused is the term far right that the political compass is starting to look something like this.I have argued many times, starting with Life After the State, that healthcare, education and welfare would all be cheaper and of a higher standard, if the government stayed out of it. The internet is the most powerful learning tool ever created and it's (almost) free. In the context of the times, the Friendly Societies of the 19th century were much better providers of care than the state equivalent we have today. But, somehow, if you argue that state care is no good, and that we should do away with it, people think you are advocating a society with no care at all, and therefore you are a fascist and far right. It's not about wanting the best care for people though, with them, is it? It's about control.This week we have seen the election of Javier Milei in Argentina, who is a self pronounced libertarian and anarcho capitalist. His rants denouncing the state are the stuff libertarian wet dreams are made of. I know the purists say he is a WEF stooge. Please. Real life will never as clean as idealists and theorists would like. It is muddy and impure. Take the win. Milei's victory is a good for the libertarian cause, even if only for the PR it has given the word(s) anarcho capitalist. If his policies start to work, the potential for other countries to copy and for libertarianism to spread multiplies. Nevertheless, he is, as we learn from the Guardian, far right.Then on Thursday, an Algerian migrant in Ireland went on a stabbing spree at a school in Dublin, counting three small children and a woman among his victims. Many Irish people, like the rest of Europe, have had had their concerns about large-scale migration ignored by their leaders, who have set pro-immigration policies in place, for years. They've seen increased racial tension, increased crime, especially violent crime and rape, criminals released from prison early due to overcrowding, unaffordable housing get even more unaffordable, while schools, healthcare, transport infrastructure all struggle to cope with the increased numbers. But the stabbing made something snap and Dublin saw the biggest riots it has seen in living memory.Then came the reporting. This was the Telegraph, who should know better.Who committed the knife attack? Was that not violent? Or did it just happen? You're far right if you are angry kids are being stabbed? The Irish leadership took no responsibility. This had nothing to do with their policies. Instead it too blamed the far right. It was hooligans “driven by far right ideology”, said the head of police. My breath was taken away by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar who as good ignored the crime but condemned the reaction as racist, having no place in multi-cultural Ireland, and pledged more censorship and clamping down of hate speech. “The problem isn't that Ireland is being flooded with unassimilable, predatory aliens,” as John Carter so eloquently writes. “The problem isn't that a little girl was stabbed by one of them. No, the problem is that the Irish have a problem with it.”The death of the mediaThe Far Right it seems is now everywhere. Brexit was a far right thing. The Dutch feeling threatened by mass Muslim immigration is far right thing. Argentina, deciding that enough is enough after umpteen hyperinflations, large scale corruption and Lord knows what else, is far right. Even being opposed to the inequitable tax that is ULEZ is far right, apparently - by that measure, Robin Hood, Gandhi, Boudicca, the Peasants Revolt, the American and French Revolutionaries - yes, they were all far right. Both Just Stop Oil and Black Lives Matter are self-proclaimed far left organisations. Why does the media almost never refer to them as far left?There hasn't been a sudden rise or re-emergence of the Far Right. There has just been a rise in name-calling by a media that operates with dual standards. The name-calling can be justified because the definition of what is far right has been changed. And now people who are unhappy about a child being stabbed can be bracketed with Hitler. Do you remember the Nice terror attack in 2016? A Muslim terrorist drove a truck into a crowd of people celebrating Bastille day and killed 84 people. How did the media report that? This is the BBC headline:Killed by lorry! No mention of the driver, his background or political affiliation. Just the passive voice.But anyone who reacts to murderous conduct by an illegal immigrant is far right.When people are angry because George Floyd is killed and we get several months of looting, that's fine. But when three Irish kids are stabbed and the Irish get hacked off about it, that's far right. Such blatant double standards.Here we see “Oxford men”.We all know the media lies and has probably always lied. But it also has to be truthful at the level it operates. This switching between active and passive voice is, effectively, lying and sophistry. When the truth is so obviously ignored by a media too scared to call a shovel a shovel, people will inevitably lose trust in it.Thank God for alternative media, that's all I can say, or should I say, alt right media. At least there's a truth to it. Give me a citizen journalist at the heart of the action over a hack any day of the week.I don't think anyone minds people applying to come to a country, working hard, contributing, being respectful and so on. But they do mind lots of fighting-age young men coming illegally, stabbing people, raping women, exhausting local resources (such as accommodation, education and healthcare) and then being called racist and far right for raising objections. If you keep calling people far right Nazis, they will eventually start behaving like far right Nazis, as my friend Low Status Opinions keeps saying to me. The longer moderate political parties ignore the concerns of those who elected them, then the more they will be driven to extremism. It's all very well saying the mainstream media is dead. There's no doubt that it is in decline, but it still has enormous influence. The quicker it dies, the better in my opinion - then some kind of genuine free market can return and replace the  monopolistic media we have endured for the last few decades. I say “free market” can return to the media - maybe I should say “far right markets”.When all is said and done, we are seeing a battle for control of the narrative and one side is losing. That's when they start using smears like far right. This is a public episode.

Elisabetta Sancino"L'ocra in punta di lingua"LietoColleRonzani Editorewww.ronzanieditore.itLa poesia di Elisabetta Sancino brucia da sempre per autocombustione. L'ossidazione della sua densissima sostanza avviene per lampi, improvvise incandescenze, potentissime e inaudite cariche energetiche, e innesca il principio generatore del fuoco. Per questo Boudicca la rossa, lingua imbrattata di sottopassaggi, ustione e versi, apre la silloge a gambe aperte, a gola spalancata, e scardina, e divelle. E canta senza grazia (con oscena, erotica bellezza) dal marciapiede, dall'asfalto della strada. E ciò che canta urla: chiudi tutti i libri | leggimi. Accade dentro la città, al fondo del bestiale ventre di cemento e moto: Milano, covatoio di fiore interstiziale; Milano, mora di rovo e spina nel costato. L'ocra in punta di lingua, la sezione successiva che titola la raccolta, si apre poi come un regno vegetale rimpolpato e re-impastato: terra e cenere, umido e dolcissimo miele selvatico, magma di linfa scorrente in canale del grido. La poesia di Elisabetta Sancino, anche in questa nuova prova, è l'urgenza, l'epifania, una fame imprevista inestinguibile che non semplicemente arriva, ma sgronda. La fame prodigiosa della vera poesia che ci fa saltare | nel sole, il gioco dell'essere umano al cospetto di dio che certo ci prova (che forse ci riesce) a tenere un po' a bada la morte.Elisabetta Sancino, nata e residente in provincia di Milano, è laureata in Lingue e Letterature Straniere Moderne e lavora come docente di lingua e letteratura inglese e guida turistica autorizzata. Ha pubblicato tre raccolte di poesia, Frammenti viola, 96, Rue de-La-Fontaine Edizioni, 2016, Il pomeriggio della tigre, Terra d'Ulivi, 2018 (terzo premio concorso Don Luigi di Liegro 2019) e Collezione Privata, Puntoacapo Editrice, 2021 (primo premio concorso internazionale Michelangelo Buonarroti 2021, premio della giuria Concorso Internazionale Lord Byron 2021). I suoi testi sono presenti in antologie (Il Segreto delle Fragole, LietoColle 2016 e 2019, La forma dell'anima altrui, LietoColle, 2019, Connessioni, Vita Activa Nuova, 2022), siti, blog e riviste letterarie e sono stati premiati in numerosi concorsi nazionali.

When Roman Legions of Emperor Nero attacked her home, disrespected her people, and attacked her family, Celtic warrior queen Boudicca swore revenge -- and she left nothing but scorched earth in her wake as she rampaged across Briton, destroying all who stood in her way. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sarah Percy with a new history of the world's frontline women soldiers

About the short play Woman on the 97th Floor: There was an image, burned into the minds of some Americans on September 11th, when a man and a woman leapt out of an office window of one of the Twin Towers. They were holding hands. This is a fictionalized account of what may have happened, or what some people did that day, the moment before. It is a play about choice. Woman on the 97th Floor was written by Susan Kelejian, directed by Bernadette Armstrong, starring Gloria Tsai as Woman and Michael Fletcher as John Washington. Susan Kelejian's previous plays include The Tragedy of Boudicca, The Belles of Bedlam, and Drive. She is the founder of the Ojai Valley Artists Theatre Ensemble. She is also an actor, director and licensed psychotherapist Support the show

Part two, our finale of Boudicca (Boudica? Bodicea? Depends on who you ask), sees her campaign of bloody revenge in the south of England as well as our very own collectible trading cards that sound an awful lot like a scam, because they more than likely are. Before we look at the final, climactic battle between the fury of the Iceni horde and the might of the Roman war machine, we show the different styles of warfare- from the armored legions of rome the exposed, and potentially blue, genitals of the Britons. And Rob drops what is arguably the least recognized thing he assumes everyone knows about in the history of anything ever.

Napoleon, Alexander the Great, and Boudicca. These are the names that normally top the list when it comes to the greatest military leaders in history, but today's guest is taking a slightly different approach. Professor of War Studies at University of Warwick, Anthony King, is drawing on his experience with some of the most senior military leaders to rank his top five divisional commanders based on what he's learnt about command, through their actions. What do you think needs to be taken into consideration to decide whether a commander is good or bad? Is It number of wins or defeats? Is it execution of logistics or operational sense? Is it their officer selection or how they deploy a division? Who would be in your list? And do you agree with Professor King? Anthony King is the author of Command: The Twenty-First Century General.This episode was produced by Elena Guthrie, and edited by Joseph Knight.For more Warfare content, subscribe to our Warfare newsletter here.

In the first episode of our two part look at Boudicca, the warrior queen of the Britons, we take a look at just how Rome came about colonizing the English islands. Ultimately, Rome does some Rome stuff, and death leads to atrocity which leads to Boudicca raising tens of thousands of countrymen to her cause. Have you ever wanted some payback after a bad day? Well, the difference is that your day wasn't anywhere near as bad as hers and she actually did something about it. email us at trrpod@gmail.com Follow us on twitter! @podcastTRR Follow us on instagram! @trrpod Find us on facebook!

This is a bonus episode from our Patreon-exclusive catalog! This episode is usually only available to subscribers at the $5 level and up, but we decided to release it on our main feed as a Saturnalia gift to our listeners. Boudicca wasn't the only Celtic warrior queen who shows up in the ancient sources. We know of one other: Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes.  The Brigantes were neighbors of Boudicca's people, the Iceni. But while Boudicca rebelled against Rome, Cartimandua sided with the Romans. She's the one who betrayed the freedom fighter Caratacas, turning him over to the Romans in chains after he fled the battlefield at Caer Caradog. In this episode, we take a closer look at Cartimandua's life and the reasons behind her decisions.  Get more episodes like this one on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ancienthistoryfangirl Learn more about your ad choices.

We're on hiatus until September 22. Until then, please enjoy our entire Boudicca series, all in one place.  The story of Boudicca's revolt is as epic as you can get. It's got murder and pillage, Romans behaving badly, cities on fire, and a layer of destruction that was scorched into the earth. But it's also the story of a people on a precipice of great change. Who was Boudicca? Who was this iron-age warrior queen who stood up to the Romans—and whose name was so revered and feared that stories of her are still being spun almost 2,000 years later?

Ben is head of Horticulture and Forestry at the Soil Association.  Author or co-author of eight books including Zero Waste Gargenind, The Woodchip Handbook and The AgroForestry Handbook, Ben holds specialist knowledge and experience that includes Community Supported Agriculture, woodchip, and starting up new horticultural businesses.All told, he has been working in horticulture for more than 25 years and has been with the Soil Association since 2006.During that time he has chaired the DEFRA Edibles Horticulture Roundtable, sat on the boards of the Organic Growers Alliance and Community Supported Agriculture Network UK, and on the committee of the Farm Woodland Forum.His own experience includes running a walled garden in Sussex supplying a Michelin starred restaurant, working for Garden Organic at their gardens in Kent and running the 10-acre horticultural production at Daylesford Organic Farm, before moving to the Welsh College of Horticulture as commercial manager.More recently he is project managing an agroforestry planting at Helen Browning's farm in Wiltshire and has acted as Horticultural Advisor and Board Member for the Community Farm near Bristol.This conversation follows on from the one on Regenerative Farming with Caroline Grindod, as part of our ongoing exploration of how we can transform our food and farming systems, heading for the complete paradigm shift that we need to an entirely new system and a new way of being in the world, while allowing farmers, growers and ordinary people to continue to flourish in the existing system. Ben is at the heart of an agro-forestry revolution in the UK and abroad, experimenting and gathering data and experience in the planting of trees as we move deeper into a changing climate. We talk about the practical implications of working with trees that, by their nature, require long term thinking and planning. We learn of the mistakes that have been made, and the accidental discoveries of things that work. We explore the changing face of farming, and how agro-forestry, sylvo-pasture and other ways of farming with trees can transform modern agriculture from being part of the problem, to being part of the solution. Ben's WebsiteBen at the Soil Association Ben at the Sustainable Food TrustBen at LinkedInBen's BooksThe Woodchip HandbookPlant a Tree and Save the WorldZero Waste GardeningBooks mentioned by Ben The Reindeer ChroniclesBarn ClubEvents and Organisations: The Farm Woodland Forum 

Caroline Grindrod is a consultant and coach in regenerative systems and leadership. Along with background in environmental conservation and upland land management, holistic management and experience in designing sustainable and regenerative food businesses, Caroline has a lifelong passion for personal development, wild spaces and a growing interest in regenerative leadership.She draws upon that diverse range of skills and experience to offer an ever-evolving and truly unique approach to working with ‘keystone' people in food and farming.Our climate is changing month on month, year on year. Growing food has always been precarious, but never more so than now. Our global food system lacks resilience and people are starving in greater numbers than ever.  If we believe the answer is not in yet more chemical inputs, or in growing food in vats that distance people ever more from the heart of the land, how can we foster resilient systems that enable people to heal our damaged landscapes while still growing good, nutritious, health-full food.  First of two episodes exploring regenerative farming in practice.

Professor David J. Helfand, a faculty member at Columbia University for forty-five years, served nearly half of that time as Chair of the Department of Astronomy, a position he has again resumed. He also recently completed a four-year term as President of the American Astronomical Society, the professional society for astronomers, astrophysicists, planetary scientists and solar physicists in North America. He is the author of nearly 200 scientific publications and has mentored 22 PhD students, but most of his pedagogical efforts have been aimed at teaching science to non-science majors. He instituted the first change in Columbia's Core Curriculum in 50 years by introducing science to all first-year students. In 2005, he became involved with an effort to create Canada's first independent, non-profit, secular university, Quest University Canada. He served as a Visiting Tutor in the University's inaugural semester in the Fall of 2007 and was appointed President & Vice-Chancellor the following year to lead this innovative experiment in higher education. For six years in a row, Quest has been ranked #1 in North America in the National Survey of Student Engagement. ​He completed his term as President of Quest in the fall of 2015 and returned to Columbia where he now heads the Committee on Innovative Teaching and Learning. His first book, "A Survival Guide to the Misinformation Age" appeared in February 2016 and came out in paperback Aug 10, 2017.In this episode, we explore the nature of higher education in a changing world and the models that could work as we move into a time when what matters is emotional literacy and resilience and the ability to garner ideas and synthesise them broadly rather than learning 'more and more about less and less until we know everything about nothing.' Prof Helfand TED Talk 'Designing an Education for the 21st Century' Quest University in British ColumbiaA Survival Guide to the Misinformation Age by David J Helfand Reality is Broken by Jane McGonigal

What can we say about Boudicca, one of the most famous women from the ancient world? Who was she, and was she even real? Why is she still so important to us today?  Listen in as Dr. Caitlin Gillespie joins Chelsea and Melissa to discuss what we (think we) know about this powerful resistance fighter and how her actions against the imperial Roman army still resonate with modern women in the 21st century.

Learn about the Celtic queen, Boudicca, who fought valiantly for her people's freedom against the Roman Empire.
