Podcasts about Continental Europe

For centuries, the English Channel served as a moat that kept the conflicts of Continental Europe away from the island of Great Britain. While it served as a barrier for armies, it also served as a hindrance to commerce. The movement of goods and people across the English Channel was much more difficult than he small distance that had to be crossed.  Some dreamed of one day taming that barrier, and in the 1990s, that dream came true.

Radical right parties are no longer political challengers on the fringes of party systems; they have become part of the political mainstream across the Western world. How the Radical Right Has Changed Capitalism and Welfare in Europe and the USA (Oxford UP, 2024) shows how they have used their political power to reform economic and social policies in Continental Europe, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, and the USA. In doing so, it argues that the radical right's core ideology of nativism and authoritarianism informs their socio-economic policy preferences. However, diverse welfare state contexts mediate their socio-economic policy impacts along regime-specific lines, leading to variations of trade protectionism, economic nationalism, traditional familialism, labour market dualism, and welfare chauvinism. The radical right has used the diverse policy instruments available within their political-economic arrangements to protect threatened labour market insiders and male breadwinners from decline, while creating a racialized and gendered precariat at the same time. This socio-economic agenda of selective status protection restores horizontal inequalities in terms of gender and ethnicity, without addressing vertical inequalities between the rich and the poor. Combining insights from comparative politics, party politics, comparative political economy, and welfare state research, the book provides novel insights into how the radical right manufactures consent for authoritarian rule by taming the socially corrosive effects of globalised capitalism for key electoral groups, while aiming to exclude the rest from democratic participation. Philip Rathgeb is an associate professor in Social Policy in the School of Social and Political Science at the University of Edinburgh.

Philip holds a PhD in Political and Social Sciences from the European University Institute (EUI) and held visiting positions at Harvard University, Lund University, University of Southern Denmark, and the EUI.

The radical right has used the diverse policy instruments available within their political-economic arrangements to protect threatened labour market insiders and male breadwinners from decline, while creating a racialized and gendered precariat at the same time. This socio-economic agenda of selective status protection restores horizontal inequalities in terms of gender and ethnicity, without addressing vertical inequalities between the rich and the poor. Combining insights from comparative politics, party politics, comparative political economy, and welfare state research, the book provides novel insights into how the radical right manufactures consent for authoritarian rule by taming the socially corrosive effects of globalised capitalism for key electoral groups, while aiming to exclude the rest from democratic participation.

Radical right parties are no longer political challengers on the fringes of party systems; they have become part of the political mainstream across the Western world. How the Radical Right Has Changed Capitalism and Welfare in Europe and the USA (Oxford UP, 2024) shows how they have used their political power to reform economic and social policies in Continental Europe, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, and the USA.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Carolina Klint, Managing Director and chief commercial officer for Continental Europe at Marsh McLennan, who shares her views on the latest WEF report and its implications for businesses and insurers worldwide. KEY TAKEAWAYS My goal with speaking about and promoting the Report is where the topics of risk and resilience belong, which is on the agenda of world leaders, decision makers, executives, board members. The business world is so complex and difficult to navigate and we have an environment now where risks are not only interconnected but they are also layered. So, the Global Risk Report is a great place to start trying to make sense of this. When a company looks at the risks that have the potential to impact or execute on strategies it’s so difficult to get it right: You’re going to go through your risks and scenario planning to pull together an ambitious risk register. Most companies have good processes for this, but in the current environment it’s very rare to pick and prepare for the risks that are going to be the ones that will hit you. Aby working on a culture of risk awareness and resilience, by working on taking a holistic view, connection the dots between people, risk and strategy, companies that do that have a much better opportunity to deal with whatever ends up hitting them. If you have a culture and awareness, and if you empower your leaders and employees to manage through when something hits, it’s going to become a much better outcome for you regards of the risks. We need to not just look at what’s in front of us, but look at the long term perspective. Human beings are wired to focus on what’s in front of us and it’s easy to forget the long-term horizon. This is where the Global Risk Report is so helpful because it looks at the perception of current risks, the 2-year and 10-year risk horizons. BEST MOMENTS ‘We look at how we can bring more value and become more relevant to our clients by connecting people, risk, and strategy – and the WEF Global Risk Report speaks directly to that.’ ‘The business environment is very difficult to navigate, and it’s only through collaboration and looking at the business holistically that you can achieve a long term sustainable business model.’ ‘For anyone in risk and resilience, when the Global Risk Report comes out it’s like Christmas Day as a 5-year-old!’ ‘Everyone’s got a plan until you get punched in the face – that’s exactly the way it is in the current environment.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Carolina Klint is a recognized expert in global risk management and a key contributor to thought leadership initiatives, including the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report. As a Managing Director and Risk Management Leader for Continental Europe at Marsh, she works with clients across industries to anticipate, quantify, and navigate emerging threats—ranging from geopolitical and environmental disruptions to the rapid evolution of technology.

Despite the snow and freezing conditions, we are here with your weekly helping of sports news and chat. We kick off with the latest from the FA Cup 3rd round, as well as the mid-week League Cup results that see Newcastle on the verge of making a Wembley final. In Cricket it was the start of the Washes- the women's Ashes. In the first one-day international, England were disappointing as they slipped to 204 all out, which Australia saw off with relative ease, to win by 4 wickets and take a 2-point lead in the series (needing only 8-points to retain the Ashes). Meanwhile the arguments rage on whether England Men's team should play Afghanistan in the Champion's Trophy. We have the latest from Golf's Team Cup, where the Britain & Ireland team beat the Continental Europe team in Abu Dhabi, in what Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald said was “very valuable” preparation for this year's Ryder Cup. And in NFL we bring you all the updates from the Wild Card Play Off round, including a last second win for the Washington Commanders as teams now move on to within two games of the Superbowl. With the Australian Tennis Open having kicked off this weekend we call on tennis expert Justin Cook from the JC Tennis Coaching Centre. Juston runs the rule over the key favourites in the men's and women's event, as well as his thoughts on the hopes of the British contingent. We also chat about how things might play out in the new coaching partnership between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic. Justin also shares how he and his coaching groups have adapted their training to compensate for, and include, the snowy and wintery conditions!

Andy and Brendan went live on YouTube after Nick Taylor played spoiler and prevented an entire episode dedicated to Nico Echavarria Minute. To start, Andy is giddy about the Packers losing in the Wild Card around, giving him the upper hand in any Caleb Williams vs. Jordan Love debates this offseason. From there, the Sony Open is discussed at length. Brendan is particularly aghast at the amount of free drops found throughout the course at Waialae and he wonders if pros are practicing their drops these days. Nick Taylor took down Nico (and his minute) in a playoff to secure his fifth PGA Tour win, a good start to his revenge season after missing out on the Presidents Cup last fall. There was a lot of "clutch gene" discussion on the broadcast late on Sunday, leaving Andy and Brendan to question if they have it themselves. In news, Jordan Spieth confirmed his return to golf at the AT&T Pebble Beach and is welcoming the chance to "reset his DNA" during his recovery from wrist surgery. Andy and Brendan also discuss Eugenio Chacarra's fiery quotes regarding his LIV departure and his desire to earn a PGA Tour card. This Monday episode wraps with a recap of the Team Cup in Europe, where Justin Rose captained Great Britain & Ireland to a blowout win over Continental Europe. Check back on Tuesday night as The Shotgun Start goes live on YouTube to break down Tiger's TGL debut.

Guest post by Mick Kiely, CEO of IAIAI Technologies Today, lessons from history remain profoundly relevant as we continue to debate the ethical use of intellectual property in AI training. The "Case of the Cathach" reminds us that the balance between protecting artists' rights and fostering innovation is not a modern issue, but a recurring one throughout history. Copyright Dispute in 6th Century Led to Battle of the Book The Cathach, one of Ireland's oldest surviving manuscripts, stands as a testament to the country's rich literary heritage. This Latin text contains the earliest known Irish copy of the Gallicanum Psalter, accompanied by unique rubrics that are the first of their kind in Western Europe. Despite its damaged state, the Cathach holds immense historical significance and is closely linked to St. Columba, whose influence extends beyond Ireland to Scotland and Continental Europe, contributing to Ireland's reputation as the "Land of Saints and Scholars." Bizarrely, this 6th-century sacred manuscript became the catalyst for one of history's earliest and bloodiest disputes over intellectual property. This conflict, often referred to as the Case of the Cathach of St. Columba, involved two prominent figures of early Irish Christianity: St. Columba (Colum Cille) and St. Finnian of Moville. The dispute escalated into a war that claimed thousands of lives. This historic event of AD 561, known as "The Battle of the Book", tells how a quarrel over a manuscript in a remote Irish monastery laid the groundwork for concepts that continue to shape our understanding of intellectual property rights today. The Sacred Manuscript and a Secret Copy Saint Finnian, revered for his wisdom and devotion, was the keeper of a treasured psalter, a sacred text painstakingly inscribed by hand. To Finnian, this manuscript was more than just a book; it was a spiritual artifact, a repository of divine knowledge, and an extension of his own stewardship over sacred writings. Saint Columba, equally passionate about spreading divine teachings, had been a student of Finnian. The Psalter of his former mentor held particular significance for Columba. His desire to possess and copy this sacred text became a deep obsession. This desire intensified when Columba traveled to Moville, where Finnian lived, to request permission to copy the Psalter. To his astonishment, Finnian flatly refused, despite Columba's persistence. Feeling wronged, Columba defied Finnian's refusal and secretly set about copying the Psalter. Under the cover of night, Columba worked tirelessly in the church where the manuscript was kept, painstakingly copying the sacred text. However, his efforts did not go unnoticed. A young man, witnessing the act, reported Columba to Finnian, claiming that a miraculous light had shone upon the manuscript as Columba copied it. Finnian was outraged and demanded that the copy be turned over to him, arguing that the copy was an extension of the original and thus his rightful property. Columba, on the other hand, argued that sacred texts belonged to everyone and should be freely shared for the greater good. King Diarmait's Judgment Unable to resolve their dispute, the two saints turned to "King Diarmait Mac Cerbhaill", the High King of Ireland, for arbitration. The court convened to hear impassioned arguments from both sides. The case presented a dilemma: should knowledge be treated as sacred property belonging to its creator, or as a communal resource for the benefit of all? Finnian continued to argue for the sanctity of the original text, asserting that the copy infringed on his rights as its custodian. Columba again countered, insisting that sacred knowledge should be free to spread, unburdened by claims of ownership. After careful deliberation, King Diarmait delivered his verdict in a poetic phrase that would resonate through history "To every cow belongs its calf; to every book belongs its copy." This judgment affirmed Finnian's claim, stating that the ...

The definitive account of the great Bohr-Einstein debate and its continuing legacyIn 1927, Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein began a debate about the interpretation and meaning of the new quantum theory. This would become one of the most famous debates in the history of science. At stake were an understanding of the purpose, and defense of the integrity, of science. What (if any) limits should we place on our expectations for what science can tell us about physical reality?Our protagonists slowly disappeared from the vanguard of physics, as its centre of gravity shifted from a war-ravaged Continental Europe to a bold, pragmatic, post-war America. What Einstein and Bohr had considered to be matters of the utmost importance were now set aside. Their debate was regarded either as settled in Bohr's favour or as superfluous to real physics.But the debate was not resolved. The problems of interpretation and meaning persisted, at least in the minds of a few stubborn physicists, such as David Bohm and John Bell, who refused to stop asking awkward questions. The Bohr-Einstein debate was rejoined, now with a new set of protagonists, on a small scale at first. Through their efforts, the debate was revealed to be about physics after all. Their questions did indeed have answers that could be found in a laboratory. As quantum entanglement became a real physical phenomenon, whole new disciplines were established, such as quantum computing, teleportation, and cryptography. The efforts of the experimentalists were rewarded with shares in the 2022 Nobel prize in physics.As Quantum Drama reveals, science owes a large debt to those who kept the discussions going against the apathy and indifference of most physicists before definitive experimental inquiries became possible. Although experiment moved the Bohr-Einstein debate to a new level and drew many into foundational research, it has by no means removed or resolved the fundamental question. There will be no Nobel prize for an answer. That will not shut off discussion. Our Drama will continue beyond our telling of it and is unlikely to reach its final scene before science ceases or the world ends.Jim Baggott, Freelance science writer, John L.

John is joined by Philippe Pinsolle, Head of International Arbitration for Continental Europe and partner in Quinn Emanuel's Geneva office, and Simon Vorburger, partner in Quinn Emanuel's Zurich office. They discuss the €14 billion international arbitration award, one of the largest arbitration awards ever, that Philippe and Simon obtained for Quinn Emanuel client, Uniper, a German gas supplier, against Gazprom Export, a Russian gas company. The case began in mid-2022 when Gazprom unexpectedly halted gas supplies to Uniper, which severely impacted the German energy market, as Gazprom had been supplying 40% of Germany's gas. Uniper then had to purchase gas at prices as high as ten times the previous price to fulfill its obligations, leading the company to the verge of bankruptcy. Gazprom's justification for stopping the gas was based on force majeure, claiming that unforeseen events, such as the ongoing war in Ukraine and damage to the Nord Stream pipeline, made it impossible for Gazprom to deliver the gas. These justifications lacked credibility because, for among other reasons, some of the claimed force majeure events occurred after Gazprom stopped delivering the gas. Philippe explains that the arbitration process moved quickly with the arbitration beginning in November 2022. The arbitration hearings were held in The Hague, but Gazprom did not participate directly, opting to obtain an anti-arbitration injunction from a Russian court. Despite Gazprom's absence, the team had to rigorously prove up their case, because default judgments are not permitted in international arbitration. This made the Uniper claimant's burden more challenging in some ways in that without an opponent making specific claims, the Quinn Emanuel team had to convince the arbitrators that there were no plausible defenses to Uniper's claims, and despite every force majeure event, Gazprom had asserted, it still could have fulfilled the contract at issue. Another key legal challenge was Uniper's "take-or-pay" contracts, which required Uniper to pay for gas whether it was delivered or not. The team convinced the tribunal to allow Uniper to terminate these contracts. Philippe addresses the challenge of staying focused on the contractual claim at issue despite the broader geopolitical context of the arbitration, including the 2022 European energy crisis and Russia's role in manipulating gas supplies to Europe. The podcast concludes with a discussion about the German government's bailout of Uniper and that the proceeds of the arbitration will benefit the German state.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

I'm really pleased today because after almost four years of trying I have finally managed to get someone from the Arch Capital group of companies onto the show. Arch's appetite to make the most of market opportunity and react quickly to a lack of the same has led to long-term outperformance that speaks for itself. That is perhaps just as well in a business that is really quite media-shy for such a substantial and well-regarded public company. Numbers only tell a small part of the story and that's why I'm delighted to welcome Hugh Sturgess, President and CEO of Arch Insurance International to the show. Hugh's division is a global operation that encompasses everything that Arch does in insurance outside of North America. It stretches from the London market to Bermuda and from the UK regions to Continental Europe and Australia. The business has grown many multiples in the harder market of the last four years and now writes over two billion dollars in premium and employs a thousand people. Hugh has been with Arch for 19 years, so is steeped in the Arch culture and way of doing things. As such this podcast isn't just a guide to the opportunities Arch is seeing in the Specialty insurance markets in London and beyond. It definitely is that – but I think if you listen carefully you can learn a few of the little things that add up to make a business like this outperform over long periods in many different market situations. And Arch may be a little media-shy, but Hugh certainly isn't – this is as fun and lively a conversation as I have had with anyone in a long time.

ow to Support the Rob Skinner Podcast.  If you would like to help support my mission to multiply disciples, leaders and churches, click here:  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/robskinner I'm Rob Skinner and this is the Rob Skinner Podcast.  Today I'm talking about how to become a multiplying disciple.  Specifically, how you need to multiply your talents in order to multiply disciples and your impact in your spiritual, financial and personal life. Reach Rob at Rob@RobSkinner.Com   Transcript Multiply Your Talents to Become a Multiplying Disciple “Skinner, you're a jack of all trades and a master of none.”  My friend, Chris Bishop, gave me a rough evaluation that later proved to be right on target.  He was describing my interest in so many different areas and at the same time, I wasn't great at any one thing.  In the fall I had tried soccer and dropped out.  In the winter, I got cut from the freshman basketball team.  I placed my hopes in making the spring freshman baseball team.  If there was one sport I thought I was good at, I thought baseball would be the one.  I bought brand new Adidas cleats.  I tried my best at the tryout.  Jeff Martinez laughed at me after the sprints and said, “Skinner, how'd you get so slow?”  The coach told us that our names would be posted on the coaches' office window if we made the team.  I waited all day, sitting in classes visualizing the name, “Rob Skinner” on that roster.  When the final bell rang, I ran to the gym locker room where the coaches' office was.  I looked down the list of names.  I thought I must be reading it to quickly.  I read each name again, slowly.  ·         Todd Newman ·         Shawn Huff ·         Jeff Martinez ·         Chris Bishop… All my friends were listed, my name wasn't.  I looked one more time and raced to my Mom's office in room E-5 of the English department.  She was an English teacher and department head.  She said, “What's wrong?”  I said, “I didn't make the team!”  I kneeled down and sobbed and sobbed on her lap.  On top of the humiliation of getting cut, someone stole my new cleats.  I guess I wouldn't need them anyway. I've never been great at any one sport.  I've been passable at a large number of sports and activities.  I love to surf, scuba, play frisbee and ultimate.  I've run a marathon in Tokyo.  I love to backpack.  I enjoy clubs and activities and served as the president of the International club and Senior Class President in high school.  I like to write and was the editor of my high school newspaper.  I always thought this lack of focused greatness was a weakness until I became a disciple of Jesus.  Then I realized the gift I had been given.  God's Kingdom is filled with every type of person.  Every race, age, class, language, height, gender, interest, skill and occupation is represented in his church.  When I became a true disciple and joined the fellowship of believers I felt like a fish back in water.  I was able to connect with so many people.  My varied background allowed me to make connections with people from all over the world. Scott Adams talks about the importance of developing a broad array of talents in his book, “How to fail at almost everything and still win big.”  He calls it “Talent Stacking.”  He writes that it's much better and more achievable to be in the top 25% in two or three or more skill or talent areas than it is to become the top 1% in any one field.  He himself was a cartoonist with a background in computers and added writing, public speaking and hypnotism to his talent stack.  The uniqueness of his talent stack makes him a unique and wealthy individual.  He claims that for every person genetically gifted to master a particular field like LeBron James, there are thousands who can combine reasonably good skills from a variety of fields and excel. Paul talks about this very thing in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, “ Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.”  Although Paul was a hardcore Jewish Pharisee by birth and training, he realized the necessity of adaptability if he was going to reach the people God had called him to reach in Acts 9:15-16, “But the Lord said to Ananias, ‘Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.'”  Gentiles, kings and Jews were all part of God's purpose for Paul.  Paul, who had surpassed all his peers in devotion to his Old Testament training, realized that he would have to add to his skills if he was going to be able to connect with the many who didn't share his gifts, pedigree or background.  If you want to be a multiplying disciple, build your “talent stack.”  The people God wants you to reach very likely will be different than you.  It's also important to keep expanding your skills because our economy and world is changing so quickly.  If you want to be able to support yourself while reaching the lost, you will need to stay in a permanent state of learning new skills.  What kind of skills do you need to develop?  Here are a few: Spiritual Skills 1.        Knowledge of the Bible.  Read the entire Bible. 2.       Ability to teach someone else the gospel.  Know how to guide a seeker from initial interest to salvation. 3.       Prayer.  Ability to sit quietly and pray and meditate for thirty minutes straight 4.      Fellowship.  Ability to make new friends, set up Bible studies, encourage others and connect with people unlike yourself. 5.       Speaking.  Learn how to lead a small group discussion, speak in front of a church audience, teach a Bible class and preach a short lesson using scripture, stories and applications. Life Skills 1.        Money.  Learn how to save and invest money.  Refuse to live paycheck to paycheck. 2.       Computer skills.  Keep learning new skills.  Never make the excuse that you're too old or no good at technical stuff.  Memorize this scripture in Philippians 4:13 (Jerusalem Bible),  “There is nothing I cannot master with the help of the One who gives me strength.” 3.       Entrepreneurship.  Learn how to start a new business or side hustle.  It can be real estate, window washing, dog walking or options.  Keep looking for ways to be a “tent maker” like Paul was.  He always had a way to support himself when church support dried up. 4.      People skills.  This is what I would consider to be the most important skill that often gets overlooked.  Read the book, “How to Win Friends and Influence People.”  Your way with people makes all the difference in your success or failure as a fruitful and effective disciple. This unique gift of having a number of good, not great skills came in handy when I moved to Tokyo, Japan.  I was asked to develop an International Ministry.  This was anyone in Japan who wasn't native Japanese.  We started with a handful of “Gai-Jin” or foreigners and in a few years we had over 200 disciples from all over the world, Africa, Polynesia, Australia, England, The US, Canada, South America, China, Korea, Asia and Continental Europe.  I think my interest in a broad array of people, things and interests, enabled God to use me to reach people from all over. If you are a “unicorn,” a person gifted with a singular gift like Mozart or Einstein, congratulations and may God continue to bless you.  If you are like the rest of us, having moderate or average gifting, take heart.  You can live an amazing life.  Cobble together your best skills and learn new ones to add to your collection.  This set of talents unique to you only will set you apart and define you as fruitful and multiplying disciple. Application ·         What one new skill, if you learned it in the next six months, would make the biggest difference in your life?  ·         Take a first step toward learning that skill.  Read a book, watch a YouTube video or go to a seminar to learn how to do it.  ·         What are your top three best skills currently?  How can God use that “cocktail” of talents to build his kingdom?

UK is at the nexus of the subsea interconnector's new economy. Great Britain is connected to Continental Europe by 8 interconnectors representing up to 15% of its power consumption.Subsea cables are now a growing industry because of the benefits they bring to the grids, such as resiliency, capacity, lower prices, and renewable energy balancing. Alongside batteries and pumped Hydro, interconnectors are the best flexible green infrastructure currently available on our road to net-zero.How has the technology evolved over the recent years? What are the economics in terms of CAPEX and OPEX? What are the revenue models? Is there a role for infrastructure investor? What are the technological challenges? How are the permitting and regulatory frameworks? How far and how deep will we go in the development of interconnectors, as we start hearing about transcontinental projects. To answer all those questions, we have invited Rebecca Sedler, aka “The Mother of Interconnectors” (reference to Games of Throne). After a long career at E.ON and EDF, Rebecca is Managing Director of the Interconnectors business for UK National Grid. We will start by the Viking Link, her more recent achievement, linking GB to Denmark with a 750km cable and only 3.7% loss. Finally, we will talk about the bright future of subsea interconnectors.“We are going to America”  www.nato-l.org We thank Amundi for supporting our show.

We begin with the Eurovision Songcontest and end with Sturm Graz's cup win, but consider, most of all, FC St. Gallen. Saint who? True, if I would ask you who invented club football in Europe in continental Europe, would you guess that the answer is the same as to the Ricola cough drop question? The Swiss did! Well, technically English students living in Switzerland, but nevermind - the year was 1879 and the place was right near St. Gallen, Saint Gallen, and the continent's oldest soccer club was founded. Not some club who is big and famous today, and not in some big famous city, but in St. Gallen, an old regional textile metropolis.FCSG, as the club is known, have won two championships in their long history. 1904, and 2000. And there's one cup win, too. Plus, they have what may well be the fanciest, best designed and most intellectually stimulating fan-run magazine. It's called Mustard. And today, one of it's masterminds joins us. He is Ruben Schöneberger, and in his regular job, he is a data journalist for one of Switzerland's largest media outlets. St. Gallen is a bit off the beaten path even for those abroad who know a little bit about Swiss football, and the fact that this, of all places, is continental Europe's oldest club is odd at first sight. But that is also what makes it so endearing.

What links carol singing with dogs? Medieval musicologist Micah Mackay reveals that carols aren't just for Christmas – they began life as communal songs for anything from lullabies to drinking songs. She explains the detective work required to bring to life a fundamentally oral culture from a small number of manuscript sources, and what the origin of carols can tell us about the concept of Englishness in the medieval period. Englishness is also a key point of interrogation for Dr Caroline Lesemann Elliott, whose research explores the fascinating world of exiled English convents in Continental Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, focusing especially on their musical sound world. We hear from the Basilinda Consort, an ensemble Caroline founded in order to perform the music they discovered and reconstructed as part of their research. The host is BBC New Generation Thinker Leah Broad, author of Quartet, a group biography of four women composers, which came out earlier this year.Dr Caroline Lesemann Elliott recently completed a PhD at Royal Holloway, University of London and a Bodleian Visiting Fellowship in Music. They are founder and director of the Basilinda Consort, an early music ensemble dedicated to exploring the lives of English Christian women religious. They are also a composer. https://carolinelesemannelliott.com/ https://basilindaconsort.com/Micah Mackay is a writer and historian who recently submitted her PhD at the University of Oxford as part of the ‘Hearing the Page' project in the Publication Beyond Print Doctoral Centre. She is also a theatre maker, screenwriter, and presenter based in Edinburgh. https://mamackay.com/about/ https://www.humanities.ox.ac.uk/hearing-pageThis New Thinking episode of the Arts & Ideas podcast was made in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council, part of UKRI.
