This is the fourth live Q&A for The Christ Empire Couldn't Keep, and this week we're in the Americas with Bartolomé de las Casas — Joerg's pick over Martin Luther for the Reformation-era chapter, and the hinge of the whole course. Here's why. Las Casas owned an encomienda. He had Native people working for him. He was, in Joerg's words, a slave driver. Then he woke up, gave the land away, freed the people, and spent the rest of his life arguing against the conquest. Gustavo Gutiérrez read him as a precursor to liberation theology, and when Joerg got into the sources, he thought: not so fast. Because what Las Casas actually represents is the pivot from empire hard to empire soft — from fire and sword to kindness and charity, which is nicer, preferable, and still empire. The whole session is about learning to tell soft empire from the way of Christ when they look almost identical. We got the charity/advocacy/solidarity distinction, the flip on anthropology (not others are like us but what if I were like them), why converting from one God to another is harder than converting from no God at all, why land back needs labor back alongside it, and Joerg's answer to the flag-wrapped warrior Christ, which is two words long. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Dr. Joerg Rieger is the Distinguished Professor of Theology and the Cal Turner Chancellor's Chair of Wesleyan Studies at Vanderbilt University and founding director of the Wendland-Cook Program in Religion and Justice. For three decades, he has worked to bring together theology and the struggles for justice and liberation that mark our age. His work addresses relations of theology and public life, reflecting on the misuse of power in religion, politics, and economics. His interest is in movements that bring about change and in the positive contributions of religion and theology. His constructive work in theology draws on a wide range of historical and contemporary traditions, with a concern for manifestations of the divine in the pressures of everyday life. Several of his 24 authored and edited books address the topics of this course, including No Rising Tide: Theology, Economics, and the Future; Unified We Are a Force: How Faith and Labor Can Overcome America's Inequalities (with Rosemarie Henkel-Rieger); and Faith, Class, and Labor: Intersectional Approaches in a Global Context (with Jin Young Choi). www.joergrieger.com Previous Episodes w/ Joerg Anselm's God Can't Just Forgive: Joerg Rieger on Why That's Good News, Not Cruelty Who Owns the Creed?

The post-war international order is under increasing strain. The principle that borders cannot be changed by force is being challenged –not only by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but by Donald Trump's threats to seize Greenland, his undermining of longstanding alliances and his willingness to use military force abroad.In his new book, Betrayal, Guardian foreign correspondent Luke Harding argues that today's world resembles not a new Cold War, defined by ideological rivalry, but a return to ‘Great Power' politics, driven by military strength and national self-interest.In September 2026, Harding joined former Downing Street Director of Communications Alastair Campbell to examine how Trump and Putin are reshaping global politics. Drawing on Harding's reporting from Ukraine and conversations with leaders including Volodymyr Zelensky, they explored how an era defined by liberal democracy, international cooperation and the rule of law is giving way to one increasingly defined by power, coercion and nationalism.Join two of the UK's leading voices on politics and foreign affairs for an essential conversation on the forces reshaping the world –and what they mean for the future of democracy, security and the international order. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

The Paid Search Podcast | A Weekly Podcast About Google Ads and Online Marketing
Thinking about bidding on your rival's brand name? It sounds like an aggressive, high-reward growth strategy: bid on a competitor's name or trademarked product, show up at the top of the page, and offer a compelling alternative to pull high-intent buyers away from the competition. While Google Ads policy permits this strategy at the keyword level, the financial reality behind these campaigns tells a completely different story.In this episode, Chris Schaeffer tears down the myth of "conquesting" and explains why these efforts are better labeled vanity campaigns or kamikaze bidding—strategies that burn your budget just to feed an ego.Try Opteo for free for 28 days - https://opteo.com/pspChris Schaeffer - http://www.chrisschaeffer.comSubmit a Question - https://www.paidsearchpodcast.com

Pastor Ken Ortize continues in the book of Genesis. This multipart series dives into the interpretation and the comprehension of its passages. Today we are in Genesis 10:13-20.
This message examines Deuteronomy chapters two and three, highlighting God's absolute sovereignty over nations and history as He guides Israel toward the Promised Land. The teacher emphasizes that despite facing formidable enemies like giants and fortified cities, the Lord has already secured victory for His people. Key theological themes include God's faithfulness in providing for His people during their wilderness wanderings and His role as the ultimate judge of sinful kingdoms. The message serves to encourage believers to trust in God's presence and power rather than relying on their own strength. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to hold fast to faith, knowing that if God is for them, no opposition can stand against them.
This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Sidey, Dan and Cris review Tony Gilroy's Michael Clayton, starring George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson, Tilda Swinton and Sydney Pollack. It is a legal thriller without grandstanding courtroom speeches, a corporate conspiracy movie without cartoon villains, and a George Clooney film where the star power is deliberately worn down into exhaustion, debt and moral compromise.Sidey has loved this one for years, Cris remembers liking it, and Dan arrives as a Michael Clayton virgin after realising the “Michael” film in his head was actually Michael Collins. The dads begin with the film's strange, non-linear opening: Arthur Edens spiralling through a voiceover, Michael being dragged away from a backroom poker game to clean up a rich client's hit-and-run, and the early reminder that Clayton may have a fixer's reputation but he is not a miracle worker. He can tell a man to face the music; he cannot make the consequences vanish.The review digs into Clayton as a man trapped by other people's mess. He is the firm's problem-solver, not a partner. He has an ex-DA past, a failed restaurant business, a brother whose addictions helped put him in debt, and an $80,000 hole that makes him useful to Sydney Pollack's Marty Bach. Clooney plays him as tired rather than cool: still sharp, still well-dressed, but visibly sick of being sent into the night to mop up disasters for people richer and worse than him.At the centre of the film is Arthur Edens, played brilliantly by Tom Wilkinson. Arthur's breakdown during the U-North deposition is spectacular and humiliating, but the dads keep coming back to the idea that his madness is tangled up with moral clarity. He has spent years defending a company whose weed killer has damaged and killed people, and once he finds the smoking-gun memo proving U-North knew the truth, he can no longer keep doing the job. His obsession with Anna, one of the plaintiffs, and with the fantasy book Realm and Conquest gives the film its odd spiritual thread, leading eventually to the horses on the hill that save Michael's life.Tilda Swinton's Karen Crowder becomes the face of corporate panic. The dads talk about her sweaty armpits, her rehearsed speeches, her desperation to satisfy U-North's board and her terrible decision to hire surveillance operatives who turn into assassins. Arthur's murder is one of the episode's key talking points because it is so coldly procedural: no big struggle, no dramatic villain speech, just sedation, injection, staged suicide and the awful efficiency of people doing a job.As Michael follows the clues Arthur left behind, the film becomes a study in compromised people trying to survive a rotten system. He finds the marked book, learns about the memo, realises Arthur had thousands of copies printed, and starts to suspect that the suicide story is nonsense. Yet when Marty offers him the money he needs, Michael takes it. That is part of what makes the film work for the dads: he is not pure. He sells Arthur out for $80,000 before finding his way back to something like decency.The finale is pure thriller satisfaction. After the bomb in Clayton's car fails because he has walked up the hill to look at the horses from his son's book, he confronts Karen at the U-North settlement meeting. She thinks he is dead, then thinks he can be bought. Michael pushes her into saying enough, reveals he is wearing a wire, and walks away as her world collapses behind him. The final taxi ride, with Clooney silently processing everything as the credits roll over his face, gets praised as a perfect ending.Verdicts are emphatic. Sidey gives Michael Clayton the strongest possible recommend and says he could watch it again immediately. Dan calls it one of the best midweek films the podcast has done this year and wants more undiscovered films like it. Cris loves that the legal world is not glamorised: it is late-night rooms full of lawyers billing hours, protecting corporations and turning human cost into numbers. The dads praise the whole cast, especially Clooney's pared-back performance, Wilkinson's haunted intensity, Swinton's Oscar-winning panic and Pollack's completely believable law-firm authority.In short: a brilliant grown-up thriller about corporate greed, moral exhaustion, legal compromise and the terrifying power of a memo everyone wants buried.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Award-winning journalist and author Luke Harding joins Talk Eastern Europe to discuss his new book, Betrayal: Trump, Putin, and the New Age of Conquest and what it tells us about Russia's war against Ukraine, Donald Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin, and the erosion of the post-war international order.Speaking with Adam Reichardt, Harding reflects on the manyforms of “betrayal” at the heart of the book: the changing US approach towards Ukraine, the weakening of the transatlantic relationship, and the broader challenge to the idea that sovereignty, international law and borders still matter.The conversation also examines Trump's unusual relationship with Putin, the prospects for peace in Ukraine, Russia's continued attacks on Ukrainian civilians, Ukraine's growing long-range drone capabilities, and the expanding campaign of sabotage and political interference across Europe.Harding argues that Europe needs to stop treating these threats as something short of war. He also considers whether Russia could eventually test NATO's Article 5; and what might finally bring the Putin era to an end.Luke Harding's new book: Betrayal: Trump, Putin, and the New Age of Conquest.

What I learned from reading The Mind of Napoleon by Napoleon. Made possible by: Ramp: https://ramp.com AppLovin: https://www.applovin.com Vanta: https://vanta.com/founders Sage: https://founderspodcast.com/sage Some of my favorite quotes: 0:00 — " The book gives you insight into the mind of a man who combined energy of thought and energy of action to an exceptional degree." 0:30 — "Work is my element. I am born and built for work. I have known the limitations of my legs, I have known the limitations of my eyes; I have never been able to know the limitations of my working capacity." 0:52 — "He knows that men have always been the same, that nothing can change their nature. It is from the past that he will draw his lessons in order to shape the present." 1:33 — "All my life I have sacrificed everything: comfort, self-interest, happiness, to my destiny. Destiny must be fulfilled that is my chief doctrine." 2:33 — "A consecutive series of great actions never is the result of chance and luck; it always is a product of planning and genius. Is it because they are lucky that [great men] become great? No, but being great, they have been able to master luck. What is luck? The ability to exploit accidents: The vulgar would call this luck, but in fact it is the characteristic of genius." 3:30 — "Hesitation is fatal; once an action is begun, it must be followed through with the utmost exertion of the will." 3:44 — "If I have any ambition, it is so natural to me, so innate, so intimately linked with my existence, that it is like the blood that circulates in my veins, like the air that I breathe." 4:14 — "To have lived without glory, without leaving a trace of one's existence, is to have not lived at all." 6:25 — "Without great men, we have only mediocre men, and if there had never been anything but mediocre men, we would still be half apes." 7:20 — "The great majority of men attend to what is necessary only when they feel a need for it-the precise time when it is too late." 7:30 — "True character always pierces through in moments of crisis. There are sleepers whose awakening is terrifying." 9:11 — "Be successful! I judge men only by the results of their actions." 11:15 — "The truth is that everything around us is miracle." 15:18 — "Men of genius are meteors destined to be consumed in lighting up their century." 16:13 — "A man must know himself. Until then, all endeavors are in vain and all schemes collapse." 17:53 — "All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity; the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything." 18:12 — "What I am, I owe to strength of will, character, application, and daring." 19:27 — "Imagination rules the world." 20:58 — " History I conquered rather than studied. That is to say, I wanted from it, and retained of it, only what could add to my ideas. I spurned what was of no use, and I seized upon certain conclusions that pleased me." 26:01 — " It is better to eat than be eaten." 26:08 — "Appetite comes with eating." 27:43 — "It may be possible to arrest the surge of progress or to throttle it, but not to destroy it." 29:01 — " I have read your letter. It is utterly worthless. There are too many words and not enough ideas." 31:08 — "Without talent, without knowledge, there is no equality but the equality of misery and servitude." 33:46 — Napoleon to someone who hasn't studied history: " Speak as little as possible. Your knowledge is too limited, and your education has been too neglected for you to engage freely in discussions." 36:08 — "The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet.” 36:44 — "If you wage war, do it energetically and with severity. This is the only way to make it shorter and consequently less inhuman." 39:30 — ""In war, men are nothing. One man is everything." 40:20 — "Death is nothing, but to live defeated and without glory is to die every day." 46:23 — "Conquest made me what I am. Conquest alone can keep me there." 46:34 — "Power is my mistress. I have worked too hard at her conquest to allow anyone to take her away from me." 47:13 — "My soul is made of marble. Lightning has found no grip on it and had to slide off of it. I have no fear of becoming their victim. They will be biting into granite."

It is nice to see a long running franchise try something different. The new Evil Dead movies are an excellent example. So when we heard that a new director was interested in directing A Nightmare on Elm Street, we were interested. Until we found out who that director was.We spent a few weeks last year talking about Welcome to Derry. You can listen to just about every episode we had in November and December to hear all our thoughts about the show. The cliff notes version is we did not like it. So what do we think about season two and the news it will be adapting one of the best parts of It?It's a shame they do not make as many sword and sorcery movies anymore. Times and tastes change, but it seems like stories of heroes fighting evil with magic and swords would be timeless. You will come across one every once in a while - we have even covered a few here - but their heyday has long since passed.Which is why we went back to 1982 and Conquest for our feature presentation. The movie is everything you would expect. Lots of fighting and nudity with just a little plot. But it is the work of a surprising director that makes this a must see from the genre.

Epic Conquest of Mecca in AI - Bilal's Adhan That Brought Tears! - O Messenger _ Ep. 10
Radio 4 is marking the arrival of the Bayeux Tapestry in Britain with a special day of programmes reassessing the Norman Conquest and its meaning for us today.In Word of Mouth, Michael Rosen explores the impact of the Norman invasion on the English language. He asks Dr Philip Durkin about the huge influence of Anglo-Norman, the dialect of French that was used in Britain after the Conquest for about 300 years. Philip's research found that of the 1000 most frequent words in modern-day written English, almost 50% of those words are borrowed from either French or Latin, or a mixture of both, and most of those show at least some influence from French and came into the language in this period. It would be difficult for us to speak English now without using these words.Dr Philip Durkin is Deputy Chief Editor of the Oxford English Dictionary and leader of its team of specialist etymology editors. He's the author of Borrowed Words: A History of Loanwords in English.Free Anglo-Norman dictionary online at: https://anglo-norman.net/On-air programme announcements translated into Anglo-Norman by Dr Geert De Wilde, Senior Researcher and Principal Investigator, Anglo-Norman Dictionary.

Epic Conquest of Khaybar Visualized by AI - Ali's Heroic Fight! - O Messenger _ Ep. 9
Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
At the beginning of the twentieth century many thinkers, activists, and politicians would have been astonished if you told them that at the end of that century the nation-state would be the prevalent form of government throughout the world. After all, the previous fifty years had seen a revival of empires, and by 1900 everyone was living in a world of empires. The nation-state was not an obvious next step.But following 1945, argues my guest Jon Wilson in his new book Out of Chaos: How the Nation-State Emerged from the Ruins of World War II, the nation-state was the only kind of political organization that could gain universal support and become a vehicle for national liberation. The nation-state transcended postwar ideology: communists, capitalists, and nationalists of every stripe could agree to a world of sovereign states. “One can't understand the political crises and tendencies from the late 1960s to the early 1980s,” writes Wilson, “without understanding the history of the nation-state and the very particular way it emerged.”Jon Wilson is Dean of the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. A historian of empire, decolonization, and South Asia, he is the author of The Chaos of Empire: The British Raj and the Conquest of India. His latest book, Out of Chaos: How the Nation-State Emerged from the Ruins of World War II, offers a sweeping reinterpretation of the emergence of the modern nation-state after the Second World War.

The first of our occasional weekend bonus episodes… Bewildered by the tangled stories of Putin's war on Ukraine, Trump's incomprehensible loyalty to the Russian tyrant, and Russia's interference in British politics? The Guardian's foreign correspondent Luke Harding ties all the threads together in his riveting new book Betrayed: Trump, Putin And The New Age Of Conquest – laying bare how thoroughly Putin played Trump and the enormity of what has happened to our old world of rules. He talks to Andrew Harrison about the big picture that daily news misses, the return of Great Power politics, and whether Donald Trump really is a Russian asset. • Buy Luke's book Betrayal: Trump, Putin and The New Age of Conquest from our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Donald Trump's interview yesterday with Glenn Beck featured a momentous exchange about Islam's strategy for conquest known as Sharia. The president responded to a question about taking action to prohibit it by saying, among other things, "I would absolutely prohibit the Sharia law thing". The timing of this pathbreaking statement is truly providential. It clears the way for Republican leaders from across the country to stand in their upcoming midterm convention against the totalitarians of the Sharia supremacist stripe and the communist one; both are being embraced by Democrats, even though they aspire to take down our constitutional republic and by so doing, enslave our people. From its founding, the GOP has been the party of freedom, and offering the American people a choice between liberty and modern-day slavery is a defining issue and a basis for successfully nationalizing these elections. This is Frank Gaffney.
House of the Dragon season four arrives in 2028 and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season two is right behind it, but everything after that gets a lot less certain. I rank Aegon's Conquest, Nine Voyages, the Arya sequel, Ten Thousand Ships, and the Golden Empire from real production to a script sitting on somebody's desk.I wanted to sort the entire Westeros slate by one question, which is whether the thing will actually exist. The two shows at the top are easy, and then it gets interesting fast. The Mad King is a stage play about Aerys and the events that kicked off Robert's Rebellion, and I am planning to be there when it hits the States. Aegon's Conquest is my big prediction, because Warner Bros. has a fantasy epic hole on the slate once Dune wraps with part three, and I think Aegon's story gets stretched across a trilogy to fill it. Nine Voyages excites me for a different reason, since Corlys Velaryon is the guy Westeros parents tell their kids about at bedtime and House of the Dragon barely touches those legends. Then the drop starts. The Arya sequel is the strongest of the long shots because HBO wants it, but it needs Maisie Williams and it needs to clear a bar the network keeps saying is extremely high. Ten Thousand Ships has been kicking around since 2021 with three writers in five years, which is Marvel's Blade territory, and it is a very expensive story built on names most viewers will not recognize. The Golden Empire is the one I am rooting for hardest, because a feudal China and Japan influenced corner of Essos with an HBO architecture budget is the only pitch here that would feel completely new.Chapters0:00 The Two Locks, House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms0:14 The Mad King Stage Play0:29 Aegon's Conquest and the Empty Dune Slot0:44 Nine Voyages and Why Corlys Deserves His Own Show1:17 The Arya Sequel and the Maisie Williams Problem1:33 Ten Thousand Ships Stuck in Development2:04 The Golden Empire as Westeros Meets Shogun2:36 What Is Actually NextKey TakeawaysHouse of the Dragon season four and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season two are the only projects that are genuinely locked.The Mad King is a real stage production covering Aerys and the fall of the Targaryens, with a US run on the way.Aegon's Conquest looks positioned to take the fantasy epic slot Dune vacates, and a trilogy is on the table.Nine Voyages would finally cover the Corlys Velaryon legends that House of the Dragon skips past.The Arya sequel has network interest but two real hurdles, casting and expectations.Ten Thousand Ships has burned through three writers in five years on a costly story with no recognizable house names attached.The Golden Empire is the only project on the slate that would look and feel unlike anything Westeros has done.Quotes"I'm gonna rank these from, like, actually going to happen to concept art on someone's desk.""The way I like to look at Sea Snake is he's the character in Westeros that parents would tell their kids about at bedtime.""It has, like Marvel's Blade stink all over it.""I think HBO kind of wants to use Targaryen, Stark, or Lannister at the end of every name in any projects.""This could be really different than anything else that they put out for Westeros, and 100% have my backing."If you have a ranking of your own, send this to the friend who still argues about the Jon Snow show and tell me where I got it wrong. #GameOfThronesFacebook https://www.facebook.com/thegeekfreakspodcastThreads https://www.threads.net/@geekfreakspodcastPatreon https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcastWhich Game of Thrones project would you actually cancel to get the Golden Empire made faster?Would you watch an Arya sequel if Maisie Williams passed and the role was recast?
Toby Wilkinson, author of The Last Dynasty: Ancient Egypt from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra, Part One: The narrative begins with Alexander the Great's conquest of Gaza and his subsequent journey to the Siwa Oasis, where the oracle of Zeus Ammon declared him a god. After Alexander's death, his general Ptolemy I established the Ptolemaicdynasty, wisely integrating Greek and native Egyptian traditions and inventing the unifying god Sarapis. Under Ptolemy II, the kingdom flourished economically by leveraging agricultural innovations in the Fayum to produce valuable grain, alongside gold mining in the eastern deserts. This wealth funded the construction of the Pharos Lighthouse, the great Library of Alexandria organized by Zenodotus, and a powerful mercenary army. (1)

When Alexander the Great died in 323 BC with no heir, his generals tore his empire apart in a single decade. One of them — Ptolemy — took the strangest piece of all, Egypt, and turned it into a dynasty that outlasted Alexander by nearly 300 years.He didn't rule as a conqueror. He put on the pharaoh's crown, funded the old temples, engineered a brand-new god, and made a Greek bloodline from Macedon look like the rightful heirs to 3,000 years of Egyptian kingship. This is the continuity playbook — the exact method every occupying power since, from Augustus's Rome to British India to the modern IMF, has used to make conquest look like continuity.Conquest ends. Legitimacy has to be renewed every single day.Chapters0:00 – Alexander's Empire Was a Countdown2:33 – Alexander Dies in Babylon With No Heir3:46 – The Wars of the Diadochi4:31 – Ptolemy Takes the Strangest Piece: Egypt5:13 – Stealing Alexander's Corpse6:07 – A Greek General Becomes Pharaoh (305 BC)7:29 – The Legitimacy Playbook: Regalia & the Priesthood8:33 – Sibling Marriage & the Invented God Serapis9:59 – Two Laws, One Kingdom11:00 – The Library of Alexandria as Soft Power11:56 – The Dynasty Turns Brutal13:39 – How Egypt Became Rome's Client State14:31 – Cleopatra VII, the Last Ptolemy16:50 – Actium and the Fall of Egypt17:15 – Augustus Runs Ptolemy's Playbook19:37 – The Same Trick: British India, French North Africa, the IMF21:12 – Why Legitimacy Beats ConquestSources & Further ReadingDiodorus Siculus, Bibliotheca Historica — the funeral-cart / corpse interceptionJustin, Epitome of the Philippic History of Pompeius Trogus — Ptolemy VIII PhysconPlutarch, Life of Antony — Cleopatra's languages and self-presentationMary Beard, SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome — Rome ruling through local systemsWilliam Dalrymple, The Anarchy — the East India Company / princely-state modelGünther Hölbl, A History of the Ptolemaic Empire — the standard modern scholarly account

Russia has threatened the UK with ‘consequences' after reports that British drones were used by Ukraine to strike targets on Russia's mainland for the first time. The Ministry of Defence has rebuffed these threats, saying the UK is ‘committed to providing equipment Ukraine needs to defend itself against Putin's illegal invasion'.

Darren Grimes and Graham Dunlop launch their new Grimoire platform, a global book club built around 250 plus professionally narrated audiobooks, lunar-cycle book picks, and community participation. They also demo a new online Pegs and Jokers game, whil e walking through the shelves of the library and explaining how free access, founder memberships, and the inner sanctum work. https://pegsandjokers.ca/ https://www.skool.com/the-secret-teachings-book-club-1875 In this episode, Darren and Graham cover the launch setup, the membership model, and the structure of the new book club. They also preview the first book of the month, discuss how the shelves are organized, and share the thinking behind the game and the community features. Key topics In this episode: the Grimoire launches with more than 250 audiobooks, with the library expected to grow to around 260 soon. The free book of the month is The Secret Teachings of All Ages in an abridged edition, chosen because starting with the full 36 hour version would be too much for most listeners. Founder keeper and monthly initiate memberships unlock the full library, while the free tier gives access to the monthly featured book and community activity. The book club is organized around lunar cycles, with a new moon monthly pick and a full moon live read, creating a rhythm of one book per moon month. The community model includes chapter check-ins, passage discussions, Friday tangents, and a final live book council in the last week of each book month. Darren and Graham describe the inner sanctum as a deeper, earned area of the platform, accessible through participation rather than payment alone. The shelves span Hermetica and occult, theosophy, mysticism east and west, Atlantis and Fortiana, mind and prosperity, weird fiction, philosophy and classics, magic, and power and propaganda. They highlight standout titles such as The Purple Cloud, The Machine Stops, Atlantis by Ignatius Donnelly, The Book of Thoth, Psychic Self-Defense, The Power of Positive Thinking, and The Road to Serfdom. Graham demos Pegs and Jokers, explaining how the online version works, how the cards move pieces, and why it is meant to be played with friends and family across locations. They mention the platform is still being cleaned up and reorganized, including moving some books between shelves and adding PDFs and other support material.

Here it is, FINALLY — the third installment of ‘The Mad Dream of Conquest’ series, about the Athenian expedition to Sicily during the Peloponnesian War in the 5th century BC. Enjoy! Join CJ as he discusses: The Syracusan reaction to news of a huge, inbound Athenian expeditionary force, including the wise advice of Hermocrates (that wasn’t sufficiently heeded at first) The arrival of the Athenians in the area, & initial difficulties & disappointments they began to encounter The debate among the 3 Athenian strategoi (Nicias, Lamachus & Alcibiades) over how to proceed, the strategy adopted, & the lack of significant progress The recall of Alcibiades to Athens for trial, & his subsequent escape Athenian successes in Sicily that they failed to capitalize upon sufficiently to defeat Syracuse prior to the onset of the winter of 414/415 Athenian & Syracusan diplomatic efforts during that first winter The success of Syracusan diplomacy (with the help of Alcibiades) in securing aid from Corinth & Sparta Gylippus, the Spartan strategos sent to take command of the Syracusan war effort against Athens Initial Athenian successes during the campaign season of 414 that (despite the death of Lamachus) drove the Syracusans to the brink of surrender The arrival of Gylippus in the nick of time, & his stunning successes in turning the tide of the war against Athens & nullifying their efforts to circumvallate & besiege Syracuse Nicias’ extremely downtrodden & pessimistic report back to Athens, sent during the winter of 414/413, in which he demanded that the Athenian Assembly either authorize the evacuation of his expeditionary force, or send him significant reinforcements (men, supplies, & money), along with a strong request that he (Nicias) be relieved of command if they chose the latter option As promised, here’s a zoomed out map of the expedition to Sicily, showing 1) how far the Athenians traveled, & 2) the relative locations of significant cities on Sicily & on the adjacent ‘toe’ of Italy , plus a more zoomed-in map of Syracuse, its harbors, & the surrounding territory.

Host Matt Trump powers through a technically cursed evening (broken mic cord, dead camera, "wading through mud" all week) to deliver part three of his summer abroad walking tour as the self-styled Rick Steves of Badlands. After a detour on reactivating a decade-old Facebook account and how he tries to explain his politics to liberal friends, he crosses the Thames to the Tower of London and its Norman builders. The through line is a provocative analogy: the Norman Conquest of 1066, in which a small ruling class dominated England without replacing its people, framed as a template for how he views globalist or "deep state" control of modern America. Expect the White Tower, Traitor's Gate, the scaffold site, a Robin Hood tie-in, a space-alien thought experiment, and a Federal Reserve comparison, all wrapped in his usual history-meets-geopolitics musing. The Romans built the bridge; the Normans, he argues, still run the place.
Peter Leithart, James Bejon, Alastair Roberts, and Jeff Meyers continue their discussion of Judges 1 by examining Israel's partial conquest of the land and the tribal fractures already beginning to emerge. They explore how differing levels of faithfulness, compromise with the Canaanites, and the geography of the land anticipate the later division of Israel, as well as the role of common worship in holding the tribes together. Along the way they discuss the Kenites and their relationship to Israel, Judah's conquest of the Philistine cities, the problem of the iron chariots, the gradual character of the conquest, the movement from Hebron to Jerusalem, the distinction between destroying and possessing, the limits of archaeological population estimates, and the house of Joseph's conquest of Bethel as a distorted echo of Jericho.

What if “High King” in medieval Ireland was less a fixed office than a fiercely contested prize, won through ritual, lineage, and force? On the Hill of Tara, a would-be ruler climbs toward the Stone of Destiny, hoping for the legendary cry that marks him as chosen.Matt Lewis and Dr Seán Ó Hoireabhárd explore a world of multiple kings, turn-taking dynasties, cattle raiding, and shifting power between church, Norse settlers, and Irish rivals. Along the way, they reveal how Tara, Brian Boru, and the Uí Néill shaped Ireland's tangled medieval politics.MORECastles and the Conquest of IrelandListen on AppleListen on SpotifyA Complete History of Medieval IrelandListen on AppleListen on SpotifyGone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis.
