Award-winning biographer Jacqueline Kent returns to the podcast to discuss her latest work, coauthored with historian Tom Roberts, about the iconic transgender model and activist April Ashley. A Life Reimagined – Born George Jamieson in Liverpool, April Ashley transitioned in 1960 and became one of the first Britons to undergo gender-affirming surgery. Jacqueline explores April's remarkable transformation with insight and compassion. The biography traces April's journey from a tough childhood to the glamour of 1960s high society, detailing both her rise as a fashion icon and the tabloid fallout that followed her outing. Jacqueline shares what led her to co-write the biography with Tom Roberts and how they combined historical research with intimate narrative storytelling. Learn why the biography opens with April's reflective 80th birthday visit to Liverpool and how the authors balanced chronology with thematic exploration. Jacqueline discusses April's fierce advocacy for transgender rights and her lasting influence, culminating in honours like her 2012 MBE and the passing of the UK Equality Act in 2010. Jacqueline reflects on the ethical responsibilities of biographers writing about living memory. Jacqueline offers thoughtful insights into how biographers navigate memory, voice and truth while honouring their subject's humanity and legacy.

‘It ​could ​probably ​curl ​up ​quite ​comfortably ​in ​your ​lap'A rare and dog-sized dinosaur, the size of “a collie”, from America's Morrison Formation, is on display at the Natural History Museum in London. After being wrongly categorised when it was found, it has now been revealed as a new species.This ​tiny ​dinosaur would have roamed North America during the Late Jurassic period, around 145-150 million years ago, beneath the feet of some ​of ​the ​​largest ​and ​most ​famous ​dinosaurs.But what makes this discovery significant? We're joined by Natural History Museum palaeontologists Professor Paul Barrett and Professor Susannah Maidmen.Also in this episode:-UK to buy F-35 stealth jets that can carry US nuclear warheads-Exmoor estate sees resurgence of rare butterfly once on brink of extinction-Emotional attachment to music helps us remember better-Briton becomes first triple amputee to sail solo and unsupported across the Pacific-The mystery of dead eyeless wasps discovered in Southern Australia's Nullarbor Caves Hosted on Acast.

He travelled under stolen names, with stolen credit cards, and a suitcase full of secrets. John Martin Scripps was no ordinary tourist. Behind his polite British accent and passport stamps was a cold-blooded killer—one who stalked fellow travellers, lured them into trust, and then turned their holidays into horror stories.In this chilling episode of Crime at Bedtime, we unravel the twisted life and international killing spree of Scripps, the first Briton to be executed in Singapore in decades. From drug trafficking to gruesome dismemberments across Asia, this is the story of a man who weaponised charm and chance encounters, leaving a trail of bodies and stolen identities in his wake.What drives a man to kill strangers in paradise? And how did authorities from multiple countries piece together a global jigsaw of murder?Note from the host:It was brought to my attention that there were some major inaccuracies in the original version of this episode.

What does it mean to be British? To answer this, Multiracial Britishness: Global Networks in Hong Kong, 1910–45 (Cambridge UP, 2023) by Dr. Vivian Kong takes us to an underexplored site of Britishness – the former British colony of Hong Kong. Vivian Kong asks how colonial hierarchies, the racial and cultural diversity of the British Empire, and global ideologies complicate the meaning of being British. Using multi-lingual sources and oral history, Dr. Kong traces the experiences of multiracial residents in 1910-45 Hong Kong. Guiding us through Hong Kong's global networks, and the colony's co-existing exclusive and cosmopolitan social spaces, this book uncovers the long history of multiracial Britishness. Dr. Kong argues that Britishness existed in the colony in multiple, hyphenated forms – as a racial category, but also as privileges, a means of survival, and a form of cultural and national belonging. This book offers us an important reminder that multiracial inhabitants of the British Empire were just as active in the making of Britishness as the British state and white Britons. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

As Iran and Israel trade missile strikes, Israel's airspace has shut down, leaving tens of thousands of foreign nationals stranded, including thousands of Britons. Among them is the UK's Chief Rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, who had travelled to Israel with his family ahead of a planned speech in Munich.What was meant to be a visit of celebration has turned into days and nights under the shadow of war, marked by air raid sirens, closed borders and sheltering in bunkers. In this special episode of The Daily T, Camilla speaks to the Chief Rabbi in Herzliya as he share his experience on the ground, explains why the people of Israel support the war and his reflections on how the crisis has impacted the British Jewish community.Producers: Georgia Coan and Lilian FawcettPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Ji-Min LeeVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

Imagine a world in which clothing wasn't superabundant – cheap, disposable, indestructible – but perishable, threadbare and chronically scarce. Eighty years ago, when World War II ended, a textile famine loomed. What would everyone wear as uniforms were discarded and soldiers returned home, Nazi camps were liberated, and millions of uprooted people struggled to subsist? In Making Do: Britons and the Refashioning of the Postwar World (Cambridge University Press, 2025), Dr. Susan L. Carruthers unpicks a familiar wartime motto, 'Make Do and Mend', to reveal how central fabric was to postwar Britain. Clothes and footwear supplied a currency with which some were rewarded, while others went without. Making Do moves from Britain's demob centres to liberated Belsen – from razed German cities to refugee camps and troopships – to uncover intimate ties between Britons and others bound together in new patterns of mutual need. Filled with original research and personal stories, Making Do illuminates how lives were refashioned after the most devastating war in human history. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

More nations are responding to the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel. The two countries are continuing to exchange air assaults, after Israel's initial attack on Friday and Iran launched waves of missiles, in response. UK and Europe Correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge Iran believes any support of Israel from the West, makes assets from those countries fair game. He says Britons are being advised against travelling to Israel, as the UK says it's unable to keep them safe in this fast-moving situation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

British model Anouska de Georgiou was the first Briton to publicly accuse Jeffrey Epstein of abuse. “I was a victim and it has taken me many years to stand here,” she told a Manhattan courtroom. Why was Epstein protected for so long – and why are there so many odd similarities between his case and Sean “Diddy” Combs? Multiple sources, including a book by security consultant Ari Ben-Menashe, allege Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ran a honey-trap operation for government intelligence groups, gathering blackmail against politicians, celebrities, and scientists. Epstein's 36 meetings with ex-Israeli PM Ehud Barak and a 2016 Middle East jet trip fuel speculation, along with uncertainty about the sources of Epstein's wealth. Anouska De Georgiou is a celebrity case manager for mental health and addiction. She founded the Kintsugi Foundation to support women in recovery. A survivor of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse, she now advocates for trauma survivors. More at https://instagram.com/anouskadegeorgiou Emilie Hagen is a journalist reporting on the Diddy trial.

Whit Monday became the first of the new ‘Bank Holidays' on 29th May, 1871, as millions of Britons got an officially-sanctioned paid day off.  The brainchild of eccentric polymath (and former banker) Sir John Lubbock, the Bank Holidays Act of 1871 created four official days off, cleverly packaged as innocuous financial regulation so as to sneak through Parliament without incurring moral panic. So admired was the innovation that the holidays became informally known as “Saint Lubbock's Days”. But, in a way, Lubbock had only revived the spirit of the medieval calendar, which had plenty of saint days and community-wide rest. The industrial revolution had crushed all that under factory whistles and time cards, but now, with the rollout of the Victorian railways, city folk could flee to the seaside for a sunny day with their families.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly pore over Lubbock's bizarre CV; consider the debate around renaming Bank Holidays as “Princess Diana Day” or “Britishness Day”; and explain why, despite the new laws, not all industries shut up shop…  Further Reading: • ‘Bank holiday notice, 1896' (NatWest Group Heritage Hub): https://www.natwestgroup.com/heritage/history-100/objects-by-theme/our-people-in-the-community/bank-holiday-notice-1896.html • ‘Sir John Lubbock, Lord Avebury 1834 – 1913' (Chislehurst Society): https://chislehurst-society.org.uk/pages/about/people/sir-john-lubbock-lord-avebury-1834-1913/ • ‘What is a Bank Holiday? | Why Do We Get Bank Holidays?'

A new research study from UK fintech startup Nuke From Orbit, highlights a sharp rise in smartphone theft across the country and the growing impact on how people use their devices. As thefts soar and public trust in police and tech providers declines, the findings point to a security crisis that is reshaping digital habits for millions of Britons. According to the study, which surveyed 1,000 UK adults (18 years and above), 29% have now experienced phone theft, up from 17% just a year ago. The surge is fuelling widespread anxiety and has started prompting consumers (5% or greater) to scale back their use of mobile banking, email, social media and digital wallets. The findings reveal a nation struggling with digital vulnerability. 67% of consumers say they are most concerned about unauthorised access to their bank cards or accounts, underlining the financial risks of losing a smartphone. Despite this concern, 34% of users still rely on the same or similar PINs for multiple apps and to unlock their devices - a risky behaviour that continues to undermine security efforts. "The findings are deeply worrying," said James O'Sullivan, CEO of Nuke From Orbit. "In the past 18 months, we've seen a perfect storm: thefts are rising, personal security is lacking, and users are stuck in risky habits. It's unacceptable that nearly one in three people have had their phone stolen. The current solutions - and the police response - simply do not match the scale of the problem." Everyday phone habits are also contributing to increased theft risk. Nearly half of respondents (47%) say they use their phones in public several times a day - a figure that rises to 71% among 18-25-year-olds, making them easy targets for opportunistic thieves. This visibility, especially on public transport or in busy urban areas, significantly increases the likelihood of theft. Yet many victims are reluctant to report the crime. The research shows that those who have not experienced phone theft are almost three times more likely to report it than those who have, indicating a breakdown in trust and expectations around police intervention. Public opinion is divided on who should take responsibility for improving smartphone security. While 44% believe phone manufacturers should lead the charge, 30% say the onus is on users themselves. Interestingly, those who have never had their phone stolen are nearly three times more likely to report theft than those who have - suggesting that personal experience often leads to disillusionment. A Call for Urgent Action Nuke From Orbit is calling for stronger, more coordinated action on smartphone safety. The Rising Threat of Smartphone Theft: Consumer Behaviour and Security Challenges report highlights the need for improved consumer education, closer collaboration between tech providers and law enforcement and more integrated security solutions to better protect users and their data. CEO James O'Sullivan has been actively engaging with stakeholders, from meeting with officials at Downing Street to working alongside ethical hackers to identify system vulnerabilities, pushing for faster progress across the sector. "We need to shift how we approach smartphone safety," added O'Sullivan. "With greater awareness and stronger protections, we can reduce the impact of this growing threat and help prevent it altogether." See more stories here.

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Sixth Week of Easter Lectionary: 292The Saint of the day is Saint Augustine of CanterburySaint Augustine of Canterbury's Story In the year 596, some 40 monks set out from Rome to evangelize the Anglo-Saxons in England. Leading the group was Augustine, the prior of their monastery. Hardly had he and his men reached Gaul when they heard stories of the ferocity of the Anglo-Saxons and of the treacherous waters of the English Channel. Augustine returned to Rome and to Gregory the Great—the pope who had sent them—only to be assured by him that their fears were groundless. Augustine set out again. This time the group crossed the English Channel and landed in the territory of Kent, ruled by King Ethelbert, a pagan married to a Christian, Bertha. Ethelbert received them kindly, set up a residence for them in Canterbury and within the year, on Pentecost Sunday 597, was himself baptized. After being consecrated a bishop in France, Augustine returned to Canterbury, where he founded his see. He constructed a church and monastery near where the present cathedral, begun in 1070, now stands. As the faith spread, additional sees were established at London and Rochester. Work was sometimes slow and Augustine did not always meet with success. Attempts to reconcile the Anglo-Saxon Christians with the original Briton Christians—who had been driven into western England by Anglo-Saxon invaders—ended in dismal failure. Augustine failed to convince the Britons to give up certain Celtic customs at variance with Rome and to forget their bitterness, helping him evangelize their Anglo-Saxon conquerors. Laboring patiently, Augustine wisely heeded the missionary principles—quite enlightened for the times—suggested by Pope Gregory: purify rather than destroy pagan temples and customs; let pagan rites and festivals be transformed into Christian feasts; retain local customs as far as possible. The limited success Augustine achieved in England before his death in 605, a short eight years after his arrival, would eventually bear fruit long after in the conversion of England. Augustine of Canterbury can truly be called the “Apostle of England.” Reflection Augustine of Canterbury comes across today as a very human saint, one who could suffer like many of us from a failure of nerve. For example, his first venture to England ended in a big U-turn back to Rome. He made mistakes and met failure in his peacemaking attempts with the Briton Christians. He often wrote to Rome for decisions on matters he could have decided on his own had he been more self-assured. He even received mild warnings against pride from Pope Gregory, who cautioned him to “fear lest, amidst the wonders that are done, the weak mind be puffed up by self-esteem.” Augustine's perseverance amidst obstacles and only partial success teaches today's apostles and pioneers to struggle on despite frustrations and be satisfied with gradual advances.

Keir Starmer has launched his bid to claim back migration policy from the right - talking about the UK becoming an “island of strangers” unless the number of incomers is slashed. But is he correct that this is at the top of voters' list of concerns? Is tackling this what will win back the Red Wall? Do most Britons really want big cuts in the number of immigrants? Claire Kumar, senior researcher at ODI Global, tells Phil and Roger about her findings suggesting attitudes towards migration across the UK very different from those in snap opinion polls and tabloid headlines.

In this punchy episode of Mark and Pete, we tackle three explosive issues shaping the UK today. First, we dive into the shocking statistic that 1 in 10 Britons have no savings, revealing the fragile state of personal finance and what it means for national resilience. With household budgets tighter than ever, are we heading for a savings crisis? Next, we commemorate and critique the legacy of Margaret Thatcher as her 100th birthday is marked with celebratory events in Grantham. Love her or loathe her, the Iron Lady remains one of Britain's most divisive political figures. We explore how Thatcherism reshaped the UK—and whether the celebration is deserved or divisive. Finally, we cast our nets into the stormy waters of the UK-EU fishing rights dispute. With the Brexit fishing deal expiring soon, tensions rise over quotas, sovereignty, and national identity. Will British fishermen be left high and dry while Brussels demands more access? As always, Mark and Pete bring wit, wisdom, and a splash of theological insight to today's most pressing issues.

【欢迎订阅】 每天早上5:30，准时更新。 【阅读原文】 标题：The strange success of snooker Immigration, agglomeration and amorality keep the sport going 正文：Snooker has been dying for decades. “It just feels boring, ” said Ronnie O'Sullivan, the most talented man to play the game, in 2009—the equivalent of Roger Federer opening a press conference with “Tennis sucks.” The days of the 1980s, when one in three Britons would watch the final of its world championship, are gone. By the 2000s a cottage industry lamenting its demise had emerged. In 2010 the Guardian predicted snooker would be an amateur sport by 2020. 知识点：equivalent /ɪˈkwɪvələnt/ adj. & n. having the same value, amount, meaning, etc. as sth. else; a thing that has the same value, etc. 相等的；等同物 • 1 kilogram is equivalent to 2.2 pounds.（1公斤等于2.2磅。） 获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！ 【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等） 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

Nazi Germany had finally been defeated. And, for 24 hours, Britons could let their hair down and celebrate. But not everyone was in the mood to party. As 2025 marks the 80th anniversary, John Willis tells the story of VE Day via the experiences of ordinary Britons who lived through it. Here, in conversation with Spencer Mizen, he discusses what these testimonies reveal about the state of mind of a nation after six long years of war.

Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Mark Hughes to review the Bahrain Grand Prix. After Oscar Piastri's triumph, they ask whether the in-form Australian is now the title favourite, despite McLaren team-mate Lando Norris still holding a slight edge in the standings. Also discussed is George Russell's remarkable drive to second for Mercedes, which included the Briton having to deal with a litany of issues in the cockpit. There's also a detailed explanation as to why Lewis Hamilton is struggling for performance for Ferrari, and why Red Bull's weekend unravelled so badly on a day when champion Max Verstappen admitted everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. And the episode is rounded out, as ever, with a host of questions from The Race Members' Club, with Edd, Jon and Mark answering teasers on strategy, the safety car, Yuki Tsunoda and more.
