"Trouble in the Suez...." Billy Joel sang about it in We Didn't Start the Fire and until researching this episode I had no idea what trouble he was talking about. The Suez Canal is a man-made waterway connecting the Red Sea (that little stretch of sea nestled between Africa and the Middle East) and the Mediterranean Sea. Basically it connects the Indian Ocean to the Med eliminating that lengthy and dangerous trip around the south of Africa. Well I'm sure you can imagine the kind of money you could make charging ships for taking your shortcut. Located in Egypt, designed by a Frenchman, funded by the Ottomans, and coveted by the British. The construction of the canal was on another level. and if that wasn't enough it played a big role in both World Wars, and even an armed conflict most don't know about...we're looking at you Britiain and France and Israel. The Suez isn't a one trick pony either, it's grown with the times and is still an important aspect of world trade today. Historically High is sponsored by Flintt's Mouth Watering Mints, purveyors of delicious, drymouth destroying little miracles.

*Who do the green roads and wide open spaces of Albion belong to?   *This episode is a story is about a collision of two cultures - the counterculture of the twin tribes of urban free party ravers and new age travellers - and the mainstream culture of landowners, the legal authorities, English Heritage and right-wing politicians.   *In the first of a series on '80s and '90s counterculture, Aaron Trinder, director of the documentary 'Free Party: A Folk History' came to the Bureau to tell how that collision played out in the years between 1985 and 1992 when extra-ordinary free festivals and parties built  on youthful passion, music, community, dancing, the desire to connect with the ancient landcape  - and drugs - were violently suppressed.   *We hear of the brutal police tactics at 'The Battle of the Beanfield' and at Britiain's largest ever free rave at Castle Morton; how legislation has curtailed the culture of the travellers, the use of common land and ancient rights of access, and we note that whilst free festivals have been crushed, commercial festivals have become an essential part of the the mainstream culture, the entertainment industry and the economy.   *Upcoming: Mark Angelo Harrison on Spiral Tribe   More on Aaron's film 'Free Party a Folk History'    #festivals #counterculture #freefestivals #spiraltribe #squatparty #travellers #newagetravellers #battleofthebeanfield #hippie #castlemorton #techno #drugs #lsd #soundsystem #raveculture #raves #StonehengeFreeFestival #stonehenge

Triumph and Disaster: A Journey Inside Centre Court

Laura Robson, Alfie Hewett and Jack Draper return for the third part of their pre-Wimbledon series, celebrating 100 years of Centre Court. This one's all about Alfie; fresh from winning his 15th Grand Slam doubles title with Gordon Reid at the French Open, remarkably their 10th major in succession. Alfie's the only member of the team who hasn't yet played on Centre; remember he told us in Episode One his one experience was a Royal Box invite in 2018. Not bad, but not enough! So this isn't about memories of Centre, it's about aspirations of one day playing there. Wheelchair events at Wimbledon have been gradually upgraded through the courts, including the women's singles final being played on Court One for the first time in 2021. So is it possible? Wheelchairs on Centre? Logistics and tradition suggest it's a hard sell but, as Alfie says, they other Slams have managed it, so why not? Time Codes: 00:55. Time to update someone's bio! Congrats Gordon and Alfie, who's straight off the plane to tell us about it! 02:05. We start by hearing about the time Alfie and Jack hit the court together; both in wheelchairs. I think we know how this ends... 02:50. Lucy Shuker's also on the court but has to take cover when Jack flies a serve down; Jack goes a shade of strawberry... 03:35. At the age of 7, Alfie received the diagnosis which would change his life. He takes us back to the beginning for the full story... 04:00. He wanted to play in goal for Norwich City before "this random thing came out of nowhere". 04:35. A visit to Stoke Mandeville Hospital helped Alfie find a new direction... 05:10. Alfie kept himself active by playing three very different sports; tennis was just a hobby by this point, basketball was the priority... 06:50. Jack's interested to know about the visibility of wheelchair tennis at that point. The search engine Alfie mentions is at https://parasport.org.uk. See also https://join.accessercise.com/. 08:10. Time to big up "The Quadfather"! Peter Norfolk inspired many athletes, including Alfie, around the time of London 2012. 08:55. Jack and Laura are keen to find out about the kit; it's expensive stuff! Alfie explains the difference between regular chairs and sports chairs. 10:30. Another dig at Jack's wheelchair skills prompts Alfie to ask our novice; "what's the hardest thing about operating a sports chair?" 11:50. We fast-forward to Alfie and Gordon winning Wimbledon for the first time in 2016; the year his career took off. Alfie watched it back the other day! 14:20. Tim Henman time! 15:30. Laura's interested in finding out which is the best Grand Slam tournament, in terms of accessibility and visibility for wheelchair tennis. 16:45. Alfie says the time's right to start expanding the wheelchair draws and growing the game further... 17:35. The logical extension to this is Court scheduling; Jack's keen to dig a bit deeper here... Alfie's setting the bar high! 18:20. Laura's asks whether it would be possible to put a wheelchair match on Centre. Alfie says, behind the scenes, we need to talk about it. It's happened elsewhere, so why not Wimbledon? 19:50. Alfie says it's his dream to play on Centre Court and brings it back to the "deeper meaning"; he feels it would show the inclusivity that Britiain is famed for. 20:50. A huge question from Jack; how's the tech going to evolve? Stephane Houdet's chair gets big-money promo... 22:20. Ambitions; Wimbledon? Paralympic Gold? Big prizes remain "on the bucket list"! 23:25. A questions from Laura: Who's the player in the podcast artwork? Someone knows way too much.... Feel the Connection this summer with Vodafone, official partner of Wimbledon.

1919. The war years were a time of harsh laws against sedition and freedom of speech and action across the British Empire. Resources needed by Britiain and their allies were taken from those countries that lived under the Britian's flag and rule. By 1919 those future nations had become further politicised and wanted independence or a better relationship with the British Government. However, the reaction of the British Government and their representatives in those countries was either to ignore that chngine environment or to be brutal about suppressing demands.These reactions led to unrest (for example in Ceylon), revolt (Egypt), independence movements (such as the Sinn Fein and the declaration of Irish independence) and death (The Amritsar Massacre in the Punjab).Those events have set a political and strategic climate that has dominated the world ever since.This video is a precurssor to individual consideration of each of those flashpoint nations.

Inspired by an Amazon TV series which imagines a world in which the allies lost WW2, they selected songs from the 50s and 60s, and recorded them with artists such as Beck and Norah Jones.Two weeks ago we revealed that Historic England had unearthed a lost treasure of the 1951 Festival of Britain in a hotel garden in Blackheath.
