Podcasts about Captivity

Hamlet wagers 6 Barbary horses against 6 French swords. Falstaff talks about fighting with a Barbary hen. Bassanio in Merchant of Venice talks about travelling merchants going to foreign lands including "Tripolis, Mexico and England, Lisbon, Barbary, and India" There are also an additional 5 references to Barbary horses.   The Barbary States were Algeria, Tunisia, Tripolis, and Morroco. These were powerful coastal societies tied in various ways to the Ottoman world, and in Shakespeare's day they were central to English fears about piracy and captivity. Ships were seized. Sailors were enslaved. Families, merchants, churches, and governments negotiated over the price of a human life.  English first hand accounts of the Muslim world and the Barbary States in particular were sparse, even non-existent prior to Richard Knolles publication in 1603 where he writes the History of the Turks, the same year Shakespeare publishes his Ottoman-heavy play with a Moor in the title role, Othello.   Today we are joined by Daniel Vitkus, editor of Piracy, Slavery, and Redemption: Barbary Captivity Narratives from Early Modern England, and Abdulhamit Arvas, Associate Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania and expert on early modern Muslims, Barbary pirates, and Shakespeare. They are here to help us explore the place of the Barbary Coast in Shakespeare's England, to understand the culture of hostages and holding someone ransom, what was happening to Britons that were taken captive and sold into slavery by the Barbary pirates, as well as to explain the surprising dichotomy of being afraid of the Barbary nation while admiring their products, like horses.

On May 15, 2026, schoolchildren were abducted in Oyo and Borno, and they have now endured 54 days in captivity as rescue operations persist.In Oyo, 39 students along with seven teachers were taken hostage in Oriire LGA, while in Borno, numerous individuals were seized in Askira-Uba, with six reportedly rescued. Authorities have stated that search efforts are ongoing, while health professionals caution that the children are at risk of life-threatening conditions due to their prolonged exposure in the forest.In a separate incident, all 15 remaining church worshippers who were kidnapped in Ekiti State have been released. These victims, who were taken on April 28, 2026, during an evening service at a Christ Apostolic Church in Eda Oniyo, Ilejemeje Local Government Area, regained their freedom on July 4, 2026, after spending 67 days in captivity. Unfortunately, an 84-year-old woman among the abducted worshippers passed away due to severe deprivation while in the hands of the kidnappers.The gunmen initially attacked the church community situated on the border of Ekiti and Kwara states, shot the presiding pastor, and forced the worshippers into the forest. At first, the abductors demanded a ransom of ₦1 billion, which was later lowered to ₦50 million. Security officials reported that their eventual release was the result of coordinated intelligence-led tracking by the Nigeria Police Force, the Military, the Amotekun Corps, and local hunters.Kidnapping has evolved into a ransom-driven enterprise, which criminal gangs exploit as a means of wealth generation. Consequently, Nigeria has emerged as a significant hotspot for kidnapping, posing major threats to both national and international security. In Nigeria, crimes such as kidnapping have transformed into a highly lucrative business conducted on a commercial scale.

On this episode of the Family Docs Podcast, Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea speaks with Dr. Hal Grotke, Dr. Adia Scrubb, and Dr. Tricia Bautista on correctional medicine. This is a part of family medicine where some of the most vulnerable, overlooked and complex patients in our healthcare system receive care. It's work that requires not just strong clinical skills, but incredibly deep empathy, resilience, and a commitment to justice and healing. We are so thankful and incredibly honored to be joined by three absolutely extraordinary family physicians who live this work every day. Each of them brings a different lens: clinical, policy, advocacy, and trauma informed care. Together, they provide a perspective on correctional medicine that every family physician absolutely deserves to hear.  Guests: Hal Grotke, MD, FAAFP I'm a 28 year CAFP member since my second year of medical school. I was widowed nine years ago but I am happily married again. I'm a disabled Navy veteran from Operation Desert Storm. I love going for long walks in the mountains with my wife and our dog.

She earned a Master of Public Policy degree from the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs and completed residency at John Muir Health. Her participation in the CAFP Susan Hogeland CAE Health Policy Fellowship helped her continue policy and advocacy work which included serving on the California Surgeon General's ACEsAware clinical implementation committee, joining the Family Medicine Initiative in Trauma Informed Care (FIT) team, as well as the CAFP JEDI Committee. Tricia Bautista, MD, FASAM Tricia Bautista, MD, FASAM is a native Southern Californian who trained in family medicine at Adventist Health Hanford and pursued an addiction medicine fellowship at Montefiore/Albert Einstein.  While a resident, she served on the CAFP Foundation's Student/Resident Council, was an active member of the Kings-Fresno-Madera chapter and advocated for substance use-related issues that have been formally adopted into CAFP policy.  During her training in Bronx, NY, she was exposed to correctional medicine and now serves as the Director of Addiction Medicine for one of the nation's largest correctional health services, primarily caring for incarcerated individuals in NYC jails (aka "Rikers Island") and providing transitional primary care upon re-entry within NYC Health + Hospitals.   Resources: California Family Physician article "Finding Care in Captivity" by Hal Grotke, MD https://mydigitalpublication.com/article/Finding+Care+In+Captivity/4933678/841484/article.html  Resident rotation/fellowship/elective for the California Correctional Health Care Services Educational Partnership Program, the program for medical student and resident rotations within the California prisons.

Metacom's Resistance, Puritan Mythology, and King Philip's War with Sarah Stewart (Partnership of Historic Bostons)We speak with Sarah Stewart, president of the Partnership of Historic Bostons, a public history organization focused on 17th-century New England, to confront Puritan mythology and widen the lens beyond Salem to Indigenous history, enslaved Africans, and displaced peoples. We dig into why King Philip's War, which is often skipped in schools and told through colonial monuments, Increase Mather, and captivity narratives, was a turning point that devastated Native sovereignty, reshaped New England, and fed the fear that later influenced the Salem witch trials. Sarah breaks down PHB's “Metacom's Resistance” series, the need for reframing the war through Indigenous voices, and the realities of enslavement, land commodification, and legal encroachment on sovereignty. 00:00 Meet Sarah Stewart00:50 Origins of the Partnership01:51 Broadening the 17th Century Lens03:21 Programs and Events04:58 Puritans Beyond the Myths06:51 Building Community Feedback08:06 Why King Philip's War Matters10:53 How the Story Got Distorted13:22 Metacom's Resistance Series17:49 Indigenous Voices Center Stage20:50 Violence and Witch Trial Fear23:59 Captivity and Enslavement25:53 Land Commodification Clash28:50 Land And Equality29:31 Amplifying Indigenous Voices33:08 Powerful Panels And Future Events37:08 Puritans Fear And Ongoing Wars39:11 Courts Sovereignty And Punishment42:23 Thomas Morton And Other Paths45:29 War Choices And Modern Parallels46:55 Audience Reflections And Truth52:01 Keep Learning Stay ConnectedPartnership of Historic Bostons“The Unknown War: King Philip's War, 1675-1678” (video)“The Past is Now: An Inter-Tribal Panel Discussion of King Philp's War” (video)“Surviving Slavery: Indigenous Enslavement in King Philip's War” (video)“Erasure: History, Memory and King Philip's War” (video)“What Really Happened at Turners Falls?” (video)“The Long Legacy: The Cost and Consequences of King Philip's War” (video)“The Slews and Hoars of Beverly: From Witchcraft to Slavery” (video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GEspMnY9-o“The Other: Understanding Witch Hunts, Part I, with Emerson Baker, Sarah Jack, and Josh Hutchinson” (video)“Resistance: Stopping Witch Hunts, Part II” (video)Jenny Hale Pulsipher, Subjects unto the Same King: Indians, English, and the Contest for Authority in Colonial New EnglandJill Lepore, The Name of War: King Philip's War and the Origins of American IdentityPeter C.

The Wreck of the Whaleship Mentor (1832) | Shipwreck, Captivity & Survival in Palau | Interview with Eric Jay Dolin In May 1832, the American whaleship Mentor was battling fierce storms in the western Pacific when disaster struck. Wrecked on a remote reef in the Micronesian archipelago of Palau, eleven surviving crewmen found themselves stranded in unfamiliar territory, their supplies dwindling and their fate uncertain. Within days, indigenous Palauan warriors approached bearing axes, clubs, and spears. What followed was years of captivity, tribal warfare, dashed hopes, and a fraught naval rescue mission that captivated the American public. In this episode, host Rich Napolitano sits down with award-winning maritime historian and bestselling author Eric Jay Dolin to discuss his book The Wreck of the Mentor: A True Story of Death, Despair, and Deliverance in the Age of Sail. Dolin brings this largely forgotten saga back to life, a gripping story of survival, cultural collision, and the realities of life at sea in the Age of Sail. In this episode:

The Israelites' departure from captivity and return to Jerusalem mirrors the Exodus from Egypt. But more importantly, it points forward to the freedom Christ would provide from the penalty of sin, pointing us to a heavenly hope.

Our faith is about relationships wherever we are - even, as Paul and Silas found, in a prison cell. But our suffering can be overshadowed by Christ, who promises to be there with us. Scripture: Acts 16:16-34

In this gripping episode, Asymmetric MIA Accounting Group Chief of Investigative Research John Bear reveals one of the most haunting “full circle” stories in American history.On November 27, 1745, during King George's War, a French and Native force raided Old Saratoga, New York. Young Jacob Fort watched his father Abraham “Abram” Fort and uncle Capt. Johannes Fort taken prisoner, marched north through brutal winter conditions, and ultimately die in a Quebec military prison. Their bodies were never returned—left in unmarked graves near the Hôpital-Général cemetery.Two hundred and eighty-one years later, in 1942, Brigadier General Guy O. Fort—direct descendant of that same paternal line—faced an eerily parallel fate on the opposite side of the world. A career soldier who grew up near Saratoga County and almost certainly knew the ancestral stories of capture and loss, General Fort commanded the 81st Philippine Infantry Division on Mindanao. After surrendering under protest, he was interned at Camp Keithley. When ordered to betray the Moro people he had served for four decades, he refused and was executed by firing squad. His remains were buried in an isolated grave, never recovered.Through forensic genetic genealogy, exhaustive paper trails, and General Fort's own diaries, the unbreakable connection between the 1745 Saratoga captives and the WWII general is now confirmed. History repeated itself in the most profound way within a single family.As AMAG prepares its June 2026 humanitarian recovery mission at historic Camp Keithley, this episode explores resilience, sacrifice, and the long arc of remembrance.Support the MissionAMAG's June 2026 recovery effort at Camp Keithley is entirely self-funded.

The stress, fear, and uncertainty of the world right now are seeping into our closest relationships. When collective pain goes unprocessed, it often shows up as distance, resentment, or disconnection with the people we love most — at a time when we need closeness more than ever. In this conversation, Esther Perel helps us understand how stress and trauma drain our relationships of aliveness and desire, why resentment grows when life becomes all duty and efficiency, and how to stay connected and loving in hard times. - Why your relationship isn't broken — it's exhausted- How resentment grows when efficiency replaces intimacy- Why desire disappears under responsibility - Why your partner can't be your whole village- What “behind every criticism is a longing” really means About Esther: Psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author Esther Perel is recognized as one of today's most insightful and original voices on modern relationships.

Shaun Pinner is a former British soldier and Ukrainian Marine. He has written an extraordinary first-hand account of the war in Ukraine, his capture, imprisonment, and torture by the Russian invaders. Shaun was a retired and decorated British soldier, living peacefully in Mariupol with his Ukrainian family. But the full-scale war began, and after fighting alongside Ukrainian army colleagues, he found himself imprisoned in Russian-occupied Ukraine, and embarking on an unexpected and unimaginable fight for survival. After the horrors of frontline fighting, Shaun had to survive his capture by Russian soldiers, and his removal to a Black Site – an off-grid FSB prison operating outside all human rights conventions – where he was subjected to a campaign of torture by Putin's secret police.----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Pinner describes shifting from combat to journalism after rehab, injury, and family commitments, and explains the “media wall” between Western narratives and Ukrainian realities, including the exclusion of pro-Ukrainian Russian-speaking Ukrainians. They promote a fundraiser to buy “vampire” drones for the Khartia unit and discuss sustaining and expanding pro-Ukraine engagement, especially among younger demographics. Pinner recounts efforts to reach North American media, warns about Russian propaganda and “neutrality,” and argues the war is increasingly cognitive and political, with Russia laundering its reputation internationally while destabilizing democracies. He outlines why a Russian victory would threaten NATO and highlights hope in a special tribunal and his lawsuit setting precedent for claims against the Russian state.----------CHAPTERS:01:05 From POW to Creator03:29 Breaking Media Narratives05:51 Vampire Drone Fundraiser07:06 Growing the Pro Ukraine Bubble09:20 Tours and Genocide Reality15:20 Soundbites and Propaganda21:17 Cognitive Warfare Front27:13 Debunking Ukraine Myths33:59 Why Russia Threatens All42:51 Justice and Tribunal Hope----------

Ze is dé goeroe op relatiegebied en heeft ons veel geleerd. How to Mate in Captivity? En kun je je inleven in degene die in een monogame relatie vreemdgaat? We hebben het deze aflevering natuurlijk over Esther Perel. Lies was geen mooi mens terwijl ze in een mooie setting was: ze kon niet genieten van het optreden omdat er iemand voor haar horizontaal filmde. Aaf was ook geen mooi mens, omdat ze onrecht voor haar neus zag maar er niets over zei. De culturele genezing gaat dieper in op relaties. Zo is er het boek Liefde, als dat het is van Marijke Schermer. We zien Paul McCartney zich terugtrekken uit de wereld in de documentaire Man on the Run en zien partners elkaar bespieden in de film Guernsey. Wil je de hele aflevering luisteren?

Episode Notes The Wedding and the Marriage: On Creative Devotion and the Gift of the Slow Burn What does it actually mean to be devoted to your work — not the version of it you imagined, but the version that wants to exist? In this deeply personal episode, Michael reflects on the six-year journey of writing Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection — and the humbling gap between the grand launch he envisioned and the initiation the universe had in store. Recorded live from Tulum, Mexico, just weeks after the book's release, this is a raw and honest meditation on ego, surrender, patience, and what it means to stay in the work when the fanfare doesn't come. What You'll Hear in This Episode: The moment Michael nearly folded after five years — and the four-month ultimatum that changed everything Why he moved to Austin, found the right environment, and finally cracked the book's structure The emotional experience of recording the audiobook and hearing his "composition" for the first time How a crypto portfolio hit by 100% China tariffs wiped out his marketing budget — and what he did next The difference between the wedding (the launch) and the marriage (the lifelong commitment to the work) Why he stopped chasing the bestseller list and started thinking like Ryan Holiday's perennial bestseller What Esther Perel's Mating in Captivity and Steven Pressfield's The War of Art teach us about the slow burn The Miles Davis principle: music is what lives in the space between the notes Nelson Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom as a model for creative endurance How the principles of Resonance — listening, devotion, releasing transactional expectation — apply to your creative life, not just your relationships Key Themes: Creative initiation and the fire that forges you Releasing egoic expectation vs. listening to what wants to live The gift of the slow burn and the perennial work Environment as a creative catalyst Dissonance vs. resonance in relationships — and in your work What vision fasts and initiatory rituals teach us about patience and preparation Quotes From This Episode: "It's not about the night of the wedding. It's going to be about the years of commitment in the marriage." "How can I listen to what wants to live — and become an instrument for that song?" "Music is what lives in the space between the notes." — Miles Davis "I wasn't positive how the ideas came together in the most poignant way. But I knew it was in there."

In June 2002, fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Smart was taken from her bedroom at knifepoint and held captive for nine months, enduring abuse that would have broken most people beyond repair. Against extraordinary odds, she survived, and then she decided to step fully into the public eye; not in spite of what happened to her, but because of it. She has testified before Congress, helped author a Department of Justice handbook for kidnapping survivors, and founded the Elizabeth Smart Foundation to dismantle the shame culture that compounds survivors' trauma. In this powerful episode, Elizabeth walks us through the night that changed everything, how she held onto hope during nine months of captivity, what justice looked and felt like after nearly eight years of waiting, and why she believes that being seen is one of the most radical things a survivor can do.
