Podcasts about Coventry

In this episode, historian Dr. Chris Smith discusses the Coventry Blitz, marking its 85th anniversary. He explores the myths surrounding the event, particularly the narrative that Churchill sacrificed Coventry to protect intelligence secrets. The conversation delves into the scale of the bombing, the city's industrial significance, the immediate aftermath, and the role of propaganda. Smith also highlights the reconstruction efforts and the lasting legacy of the Blitz in Coventry's identity, emphasizing themes of resilience and reconciliation. Note: I'm aware of the technical problems with the guest's video - unfortunately, there is no way to fix it, but the audio is fine. Also, there will not be a podcast next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Links Chris Smith at Coventry University "The Last Cambridge Spy: John Cairncross, Bletchley Codebreaker and Soviet Double Agent" by Chris Smith Official Coventry Cathedral website: coventrycathedral.org.uk Hitler's Btlitz's on Britain (Article) Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The Coventry Blitz is framed by both historical and modern narratives. Myths surrounding the Blitz, particularly about Churchill, persist despite being debunked. The bombing raid on Coventry was one of the largest of the war at that time. Coventry's industrial significance made it a strategic target during WWII. The aftermath of the bombing revealed a complex public reaction, not just unity. Propaganda played a crucial role in shaping public perception of the Blitz. The reconstruction of Coventry was influenced by pre-war modernization plans. The new cathedral symbolizes peace and reconciliation after the war. Coventry's identity is deeply tied to the events of the Blitz. Commemoration of the Blitz remains significant in Coventry's cultural memory. Soundbites Here are 10 interesting soundbites from the Coventry Blitz podcast: On the scale of the raid: "They dropped something in the region of 30,000 incendiary bombs, 500 tons of high explosives and 50 landmines. They even used some brand new types of explosive that they hadn't really been using to that point. It's a really, really massive raid by the standards of the war to that point." On the Churchill Ultra myth: "There's no evidence that Churchill made a decision to sacrifice Coventry. It's an absolute fantasy which basically has to rely upon either Churchill being the most evil man who has ever existed or the most incompetent man who has ever existed." On strategic bombing's true purpose: "One of the points of strategic bombing is terror, is to cause terror amongst the citizens... the British actually have a really nasty euphemism for this, which was to 'dehouse people' as a result of bombing. And that's how they basically described killing citizens and making other citizens homeless." On Coventry's industrial importance: "Coventry is hugely important industrially to Britain's war effort... by the time we get into the 20th century, bicycle manufacturing, the auto industry, the car industry becomes very important to Coventry, which makes it both wealthy and a ripe target." On the cathedral's symbolism: "They didn't knock it down. They built a new cathedral right next to it. So if any of your listeners ever visit Coventry, you can actually walk around the ruins of the old cathedral... It's a really powerful testament to resilience." On why the myth persists: "The myth of Churchill sacrificing Coventry persists because it plays into this very British, post-war self-image of stoic heroism and difficult choices. It makes for a better story than the truth, which is that sometimes intelligence fails and terrible things happen." On comparing bombing campaigns: "In Dresden, over 22,000 people are killed. The US conventional bombing of Tokyo kills over 100,000 people. So by those standards, what we're talking about in Coventry is relatively light, but by the context of what's happening in Britain, it's extremely serious." On "Keep Calm and Carry On": "These posters were wildly unpopular. They're really patronizing. They never really get used in the Second World War—they mostly just stay in a warehouse and are pulped for paper. But now they've taken on this massive life... You cannot go to London without seeing them, but you wouldn't have seen that in the Second World War at all." On Coventry's transformation: "Coventry becomes a symbol of reconciliation and peace after the war, forging connections with other bombed cities including Dresden. It's this remarkable transformation from devastation to representing hope and international cooperation." On the raid's duration: "The raid begins around seven o'clock in the evening, 10 past seven, and it lasts for a good 11 hours. The all-clear isn't actually announced until 6:16 the following morning. Eleven hours of continuous bombing—imagine living through that."

On New Year's Day 2020, Adam Tendler unexpectedly received his father's final gift: a wad of cash stuffed into a manila envelope handed over in the parking lot of a Denny's restaurant in West Lebanon, NH. The strangely furtive exchange launched a musical journey.Tendler, a renowned concert pianist who grew up in Barre decided to use his inheritance to commission an all-star cast of modern composers to compose piano pieces exploring the theme of inheritance. In his pitch to his composer friends, Tendler wrote that he wanted “to plant that cash in the soil of something that may actually grow and — if you'll forgive me — live on.” To his amazement, every composer he wrote to agreed to contribute. The result is a critically acclaimed album and concert tour called Inheritances, which the New York Times has called a collection of “little masterpieces.” Tendler will perform Inheritances at the Barre Opera House on November 16.Tendler initially did not know what to do with the money that he received. Taking a trip or paying down a credit card seemed inadequate. “This is an inheritance so something should be done with it that sort of honors the gesture,” he told The Vermont Conversation. “The thing I do for a living is ideally creating experiences for people … which [are] cathartic and beautiful and [provide] a sense of connection,” he said. “What if I use it to facilitate that experience for people?” Tendler originally told his story in a 2023 essay for the New York Times, “My Father's Death, An Envelope of Cash, A Legacy in Music.”Adam Tendler is a Grammy-nominated pianist and a recipient of the Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists and the Yvar Mikhashoff Prize. The Minneapolis Star Tribune called him "currently the hottest pianist on the American contemporary classical scene." After graduating from Indiana University, Tendler performed solo recitals in all fifty states as part of a grassroots tour he called America 88x50. He has appeared as soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra, LA Philharmonic, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Toronto Symphony and at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and other venues. He is on the piano faculty of the Steinhardt School at New York University. Tendler took a circuitous route from Barre to the concert stages of the world. After college, he worked at the landfill in Coventry and was a substitute teacher at U32 and Twinfield high schools. His relationship to his hometown is both affectionate and ambivalent. “I love Barre, I love Vermont, but it wasn't really the most easy place to grow up as a queer kid,” he recalled. “Music was a safety hatch … a real place within which I could hide, protect myself, express myself. I created a little fortress within it.""That vessel motivated me to actually start to really train to the point of getting into conservatory.”Tendler said that his work on Inheritances transformed his complicated feelings about his “semi-estranged” father “into something that feels like a companion in a good way.”“This project and having to sort of confront him on a human level, even though we're talking about music, has brought me back to him. I am my father's son. We are family.”

All Christians are called to be Christ's ambassadors in the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor 5.18). That means following Christ into the fractures of the world around us - ready to heal the wounds of history, to learn to live with difference and celebrate diversity, and build a culture of justice and peace. For those being baptised on this All Saints Sunday it is their calling too, wherever life may take them - and to take encouragement from the story of Coventry where we learned that reconciliation is possible, even when things may seem at their worst.  The Very Rev. John Witcombe, Dean of Coventry Cathedral

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Rafa Pastrana, Óscar Portugal y Santi Bauzá para analizar toda la acción de una satisfactoria décima jornada de la Premier League...Comenzando por la destrucción por sólo 0-1 del Tottenham a manos del eternamente inconsistente Chelsea de Enzo Maresca; continuando por la primera victoria liguera en eones del Liverpool tras lograr derrotar al Aston Villa con el que... ¿quizás sea su mejor once titular?; el Manchester City y cómo logró ganar al Bournemouth a base de pura superioridad de talento; cosa que también hizo el Arsenal sobre el Burnley para sumar otra victoria y otra portería a cero; algo que no logró hacer el Manchester United, ni una cosa ni la otra, pero que al menos sí logró terminar empatando en su visita al Nottingham Forest; mientras que en su visita al Crystal Palace, el Brentford se tuvo que volver con una derrota bajo el brazo; pero no tan apabullante como la del Brighton sobre el Leeds; o la del Fulham sobre el Wolverhampton para forzar definitivamente el despido de Vitor Pereira como entrenador de los lobos; mientras que un exentrenador del equipo como Nuno Espírito Santo finalmente logró su primera victoria al frente del West Ham en una completamente sorprendente arrolladora actuación contra el Newcastle; también, repasamos en exhaustivo detalle todo lo mejor de Championship con la derrota del Coventry de Frank Lampard, el despido de Will Still en el Southampton y mucho, mucho más.Apoya a que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/142702511Además...

Rhys, Andy, Liam and Tim discuss what could be a statement win for Wrexham in the Championship - a 3-2 win over unbeaten Coventry City.And we all have an opinion on owner Rob McElhenney's tweet backing Parky which some have taken as ‘having a go' at fans who booed against Cardiff.But it's all about Coventry as a Kieffer Moore-inspired Dragons put them to the sword. We discuss just how good the wing-backs were as well as the ex-Cov contingent in Hyam and Sheaf.We also look at Wrexham Women's fine win against TNS and Tim makes a very bold prediction and there's a bit of news about the Rock.We then switch thoughts towards how we think we'll do not only against Portsmouth but also the next few weeks as a whole as we look to really build in the Championship.

New Ultramarines Datasheets Breakdown — Marneus Calgar, Cato Sicarius, and the new Victrix Honor Guard (are they actually upgrades?)Back from Coventry and Raven Guard testing, and today we're talking ULTRAMARINES.Games Workshop just dropped new datasheets for:- Marneus Calgar (new version),- Cato Sicarius (Terminator armour profile),- Victrix Honor Guard (as a standalone unit).These have been rumoured for a while, and now that we've had time to think instead of just reacting, I'm walking through:- what actually changed,- how they compare to the current/old datasheets,- what combos they unlock in actual lists,- and whether they're real competitive tools or just flavour.This is not hype, this is “would I take this to a tournament?”Topics in this episode:00:00 Intro / why Marines always get new toys 01:05 Ultramarines as a “character chassis” faction 02:05 Marneus Calgar (new profile) - No more 4+++ feel no pain (thank you) - Gains Deep Strike + Terminator keyword - Loses the built-in Victrix “bodyguard package”, becomes more modular - Fall back + shoot/charge AND advance + shoot/charge aura - Why I think he's ~110–120pts and what that means for list design - Which hosts he actually makes scary (Bladeguard, Eradicators, Stern Guard, Terminators) - Why flexibility - raw stat brick now10:50 Cato Sicarius - Terminator armour, 2+/4++, 5W - Reworked melee kit: strike / sweep / coup de grâce - His heroic intervention aura is cleaner (unit, not just himself) - BUT: loses Scout + Assault from the old datasheet (which was huge) - Can basically only join Victrix now - Does that actually beat just running old Sicarius or a different captain?18:40 Victrix Honor Guard (now their own unit) - Now a standalone choice (you can run multiple squads) - 2+ save, 4W, OC2 bodies with “minus 1 to wound” when led by a Captain/Chapter Master - Banner gives +1 Str / +1 AP once per game - Blood Surge exists, but I explain why blood surge is easier to play around at high skill levels - Twin-linked precision beatstick inside the squad - Why they start overlapping with/possibly replacing Terminators and Company Heroes in a lot of shells25:20 Are these TRUE upgrades? - New Marneus vs old Marneus: trades raw durability (no 4+++/FNP brick) for list freedom and CP utility. This is probably a win. - New Sicarius vs old Sicarius: weapon glow-up, but losing Scout + Assault and being basically glued to Victrix might be a net downgrade. - Victrix vs Terminators/Company Heroes: 4W OC2 minus-one-to-wound infantry with decent guns and melee… feels like “better Terminators” in a lot of lists.31:10 List concepts - Cheap Marneus “CP battery + mobility aura” instead of the full Gilman/Calgar/Victrix bus - Victrix + a budget Lieutenant in a Rhino to create a mobile OC brick that can reactive move / blood surge onto points - Eradicators + Marneus for advance-shoot-charge vs Combined Arms style Guard - Terminators + Marneus using 1CP -1 Damage in melee in First Company Task Force for combat mirror work / teams formats34:15 What I'm doing next - I'll be building some prototype Ultramarines lists assuming reasonable points costs (I'm benchmarking Victrix at -40ppm and “lean Marneus” at ~110–120) - I'll show which shells feel like real event lists vs win-more fluffIf you've already theorycrafted something disgusting with the new datasheets (especially Victrix bricks or Rhino-delivery ideas), drop it in the comments. If you've got an archetype you want me to build on video, tell me and I'll include it.Also live right now:- Coventry recap (7-1, Raven Guard in practice, Sisters tech, Guard jail setups)- Grey Knights Warp-Bane Task Force masterclass with Innes (Stormraven abuse, macro, matchups)- Guard Combined Arms masterclass with Naim (3 terrain formats, 3 lists, role-by-role breakdown)

Joe Thomas and Mike Duffy are back to break down Watford's 3-1 defeat to Coventry a game where Watford's defence seemed to crumble at every opportunity, yet their attack somehow walked away empty-handed despite creating plenty. Coventry took their chances when it mattered, while Watford were left ruing missed opportunities that could've seen them score four or more. ⚽ Hear the lads' honest thoughts on the performance, where it all went wrong at the back, and whether there are any positives to take going forward.

The ‘Unfashionables' are still going strong in the EFL. Coventry top the Championship with a goal difference not seen at this stage of the season since Fulham in 2000/1. They are closely followed by Middlesborough who reminded Ipswich that points don't come cheap in the Championship. Also up there are Stoke and Millwall. In League One despite losing, Stevenage are still in the top two. They lost to another unfancied club – Lincoln City. Tom was there and delights in giving his assessment of the Imps. Tom Clarke is joined by Gregor Robertson Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
