Misha Glenny and guests discuss the origins and evolution of an alliance which transformed the geopolitics of the classical world: the Delian League. Since the start of the 5th Century BCE, city states across Greece had been fighting a series of armed conflicts in the Greco-Persian Wars. After the defeat of a second Persian invasion in 478 BCE, a league of cities across Greece came together and formed a new alliance led by Athens. That alliance is now known as the Delian League, after the island of Delos where it was established. In the following decades, Athens used the Delian League to grow its own wealth and formidable naval power. Cities which tried to leave the alliance found themselves violently put down and their lands confiscated by the Athenians. What had begun as a cooperative alliance sworn to resist the Persian Empire gradually started to seem like it may have created another imperial power: the Athenian Empire.WithLeah Lazar Lecturer in Hellenistic Culture at the University of ManchesterPolly Low Professor in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of DurhamAndPaul Cartledge AG Leventis Senior Research Fellow of Clare College, University of CambridgeProducer: Martha OwenAristophanes (trans.

In this episode of KickBack, host Robert Barrington is joined by Professor Matthew Stephenson, one of the podcast's original founders, and Professor Liz David-Barrett, Professor of Governance and Integrity and Director of the Centre for the Study of Corruption at the University of Sussex, to take a wide-ranging look at trends in corruption and anti-corruption. The conversation explores key thinkers and writers that have shaped their understanding of the field, as well as broader reflections on the state of corruption studies and whether there are grounds for optimism about anti-corruption interventions. They also revisit lessons from past cases of corruption and reform, and examine the relationship between democratic accountability, the rule of law, and corruption. Additional themes include the role of artificial intelligence in shaping approaches to tackling corruption, alongside discussion of the panel's favourite books and films on the subject. The episode concludes with reflections on what they would most like to teach in a Master's course on corruption, and which topics they see as most important for the next generation of students in the field.

David Barrett is an award-winning composer, songwriter, and producer whose work has touched millions across genres and generations. He is best known as the writer of “One Shining Moment,” the beloved anthem that has crowned the NCAA Basketball Finals for nearly four decades, inspiring audiences with its timeless celebration of achievement. Sung most famously by Luther Vandross, the song remains one of the most recognizable and enduring motivational pieces in the American songbook. Barrett's career, however, reaches far beyond a single song. He has written extensively for television and film, composing themes for the Olympics, the PGA, the U.S. Tennis Open, with multiple networks including CBS, ABC, PBS and the CBC. His scoring work has earned two Emmys for PBS documentaries on legendary Ohio State coach Woody Hayes and renowned author C.S. Lewis, as well as a silver medal at the New York Film Festival for the short film Don't Cross That Line. A versatile artist, Barrett has toured widely as a performer, including an extended tour opening for the legendary Art Garfunkel. His songwriting spans a wide emotional and stylistic range—love and loss, sunshine and darkness, children and criminals—always delivered with a lyrical honesty and what one reviewer described as “a heartbeat.” His acoustic guitar work flows from Americana to ragtime, while his vocal storytelling brings intimacy whether on a national stage or in a small folk club. Barrett describes his creative life as “a winding road of songs, compositions, and scores—some uptown commercial, some not—but all a sure measure of my days and nights.” From his earliest days to his unexpected rise as a composer whose work became a fixture of sports and cultural broadcasts, Barrett has remained grounded in the simple act of writing with “a guitar in my lap.” That guitar has yielded hundreds of songs, some finding their way to unlikely places and extraordinary audiences. Yet despite the national spotlight, Barrett continues to value the power of a song shared in an intimate room, connecting directly with listeners. His career reflects both paradox and perseverance—an artist at once widely celebrated and humbly self-effacing, whose music always carries the imprint of authenticity, imagination, and heart. https://www.davidbarrett.com

In this meaningful conversation, Dr. Gary Singleton, Lesley Seal, and David Barrett reflect on why funeral pre-planning is an act of both wisdom and love. They address common questions about cremation, biblical burial, and what really happens when believers go home to be with the Lord — reminding us that even in death, the gospel gives us hope.

One out of every five deaths in the US is caused by heart disease, and the forever chemicals hiding in your cookware could be contributing to this epidemic. David Barrett, owner of Chef's Foundry, reveals how PFAS chemicals in non-stick cookware raise cholesterol, increase blood pressure, disrupt thyroid function, slow metabolism, and even increase risk of cardiovascular events. These forever chemicals don't just stay on your pans—they incorporate into your cell membranes and accumulate in your body fat, making them nearly impossible to eliminate. Even one small scratch on a non-stick surface can release 9,000 toxic particles into your food, while heavy scratching releases up to 2 million particles. David shares the shocking DuPont scandal behind Teflon, the truth about "greenwashed" non-stick cookware, and why those flu-like symptoms after cooking might actually be "Teflon flu." Plus, learn which safe cookware options actually work and how to choose between ceramic, stainless steel, and cast iron alternatives. "You really do need to avoid any cookware that has forever chemicals in them. It's not just cookware; they're found in clothing, cosmetics, tap water." ~ David Barrett In This Episode: - David's story and why he started a cookware company - Common toxins found in conventional cookware - The link between PFAS and cardiovascular disease - Tips for mitigating exposure to Teflon - The problem with "greenwashed" non-toxic cookware - David's cookware recommendations and preferred materials - Issues with cast iron cookware - Benefits of P600 cookware with ILAG coating - Dangers of enamel-coated cookware - David's final advice For more information, visit https://www.myersdetox.com Ready to detox heavy metals?
