Ed Caesar joins Dan on the podcast to tell the extraordinary but largely forgotten story of World War I veteran Maurice Wilson, Britain's most mysterious mountaineering legend. Wilson served with distinction during the First World War winning the Military Cross in April 1918. However, after the war, he struggled to reintegrate into society and became severely ill. Whilst recuperating he became fascinated with the idea of climbing Mount Everest. His plan was to fly to Tibet before crashing his plane on the slopes of Everest and beginning his ascent from there. This was especially bold as at the time he could neither fly nor had any mountaineering experience. This was the beginning of an amazing but ultimately ill-fated journey as Wilson battled against the resistance of the authorities, the extremes of the Himalayas and his own inexperience in his attempt to reach the summit of Everest.If you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe today!

Acclaimed journalist and author Ed Ceasar has written on subjects as varied as gorillas in the Congo, an imprisoned Russian billionaire and the world's longest tennis match.

In 1933, Maurice Wilson — First World War hero, drifting veteran, and amateur aviator, lands in the aerodrome at Purnea in British India. His goal is to be the first man to climb Mt. Everest. And nothing — not his complete lack of climbing experience, the lack of official permission, and the efforts of British civil servants — will stop him. Ed Caesar's The Moth and the Mountain: A True Story of Love, War, and Everest (Avid Reader/Simon & Schuster, 2020) tells Wilson's tale, tracing his story from the First World War, through drifting across the English-speaking world to his sudden drive to climb the world's tallest mountain. He buys a biplane, flies to India, sneaks into Tibet and attempts to climb Everest, only to succumb to the elements on its slopes in 1934, like so many before and after. In this interview, Ed and I talk about the story of Maurice Wilson, and the two stages of his quest to Everest's summit: the flight to India, and the climb up the mountain's slopes. We discuss how the geopolitical situation of the day affected his travels, and where Ed's interest in this failed summit attempt comes from.

In this week's Book Club podcast, Sam Leith's guest is the journalist Ed Caesar, whose new book The Moth and the Mountain tells the story of a now forgotten solo assault on Everest that ended in disaster. But as Ed argues, the heroic failure can be a richer and more resonant story than any triumph -- and as he painstakingly excavated the story of Maurice Wilson, it was just such a rich and resonant story he discovered: of a character who became fixated on the mountain as a means of redeeming wartime trauma and a chequered and at times disgraceful romantic history, of getting his own back on hated authority figures, and -- just possibly -- of finding a safe space for his darkest secret of all.

Ed Caesar shares the story of Maurice Wilson, an amateur climber who wanted to be the first to scale Mt. Everest.

In this week's Book Club podcast, my guest is the journalist Ed Caesar, whose new book The Moth and the Mountain tells the story of a now forgotten solo assault on Everest that ended in disaster.

Ed Caesar joins us to talk all about his award-winning new book: a tale of exploration, aviation and the First World War.

In the 1930s, as official government expeditions set their sights on conquering Everest, a little-known World War I veteran conceived his own crazy, beautiful plan. He would fly a Gipsy Moth aeroplane from England to Everest, crash land on its lower slopes, then become the first person to reach its summit - by himself. Maurice Wilson didn't know how to climb. He barely knew how to fly. But he had pluck, daring and a vision - he wanted to be the first man to stand on top of the world. Wilson is a man written out of the history books - dismissed as an eccentric and a charlatan by many, but held in the highest regard by many mountaineers. The Moth and the Mountain restores him to his rightful place in the annals of Everest and in doing so attempts to answer that perennial question - why do we climb mountains? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

On the afternoon of Sept. 15, 1942, the U.S.S. Wasp, an aircraft carrier housing 71 planes, 2,247 sailors and a journalist, was hit by torpedoes fired by a Japanese submarine, sending it more than two and a half miles to the bottom of the Pacific. It has remained there ever since.Last year, a team on the Petrel — perhaps the most successful private vessel on Earth for finding deepwater wrecks — set out to find it.In his narrated story, Ed Caesar, a contributor to The New York Times Magazine, joins the team aboard the Petrel and speaks to the family of Lt. Cmdr. John Joseph Shea, a heroic naval officer killed in the attack on the Wasp.This story was written by Ed Caesar and recorded by Audm.

Dit is de 21ste aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast, over sport, onderzoek en innovatie. In deze aflevering hebben Gerrit en Jurgen het over: (Geen) zin om te sporten: tips voor extra motivatie en inspiratieINLEIDING: In deze laatste aflevering van het eerste seizoen (geen paniek: na de zomervakantie zijn we er weer) vatten Gerrit en Jurgen de belangrijkste lessen van de eerste twintig afleveringen van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast samen en geven aan de hand van het boek ‘Endure' (aanrader!) van wetenschapsjournalist Alex Hutchinson mentale tips om slimmer te presteren. Lange tijd werden fysieke prestaties voornamelijk beoordeeld vanuit de wetenschappelijke kennis die er over spieren, hart en longen bestond, en leek ‘het hoofd' een ondergeschikte rol te spelen. Onterecht, concludeerde Hutchinson, nadat hij zijn boek over de grenzen van het menselijk presteren geschreven had.   Voor het boek putte hij uit talloze wetenschappelijke studies, gesprekken met deskundigen en zijn eigen ervaringen als atleet. Als student van 20 jaar en lid van het hardloopteam van de Canadese McGill universiteit weet Hutchinson namelijk out of the blue tijdens een 1500 meter wedstrijd de voor hem magische grens van 4 minuten te verbreken. Hij had de hoop op zo'n prestatie eigenlijk al opgegeven, maar nu was het hem tijdens een onbeduidende indoorwedstrijd ineens wél gelukt. Hoe dat kwam, daar kwam Hutchinson na de race pas achter: een onoplettende tijdwaarnemer had hem onbedoeld geholpen door aan het begin van de wedstrijd veel te snelle tussentijden door te geven.   Vanaf die dag was de 4 minuten-grens geen grens meer voor Hutchinson. Net zoals dat voor menig atleet niet meer was toen Roger Bannister in 1954 de mijl in 3 minuut en 59,4 seconden wist te beëindigen, en naar verwachting een marathon binnen de twee uur over vijf jaar geen hele bijzondere prestatie meer zal zijn. Het geeft volgens Hutchinson maar aan dat fysieke grenzen meer in het hoofd dan in het lichaam zitten. Hij verwijst daarbij naar een studie waarin proefpersonen tijdens een statische squat (‘muurzitten') het steeds langer volhielden wanneer ze beloond werden met een groter geldbedrag. ‘Zorgt geld voor een verandering in de fysiologie? Nee, het zijn je hersenen die de grens bepalen.'   Hoe de hersenen dit doen en hoe je ze in je eigen voordeel kunt beïnvloeden tijdens het sporten, daar gaat aflevering 21 van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast over. Want slimmer presteren betekent vooral ook: het koppie erbij houden.     SHOWNOTES: Het artikel van Jurgen waar het allemaal mee begon: "Rekbare grenzen aan de menselijke prestatie" verschenen in Sportgericht (Nr. 2, 2020): https://jurgenvanteeffelen.nl/rekbare-grenzen-aan-de-menselijke-prestatie/ (https://jurgenvanteeffelen.nl/rekbare-grenzen-aan-de-menselijke-prestatie/)   De 'Zomervakantie Boekentips': Boek ‘Born to Run' van Christopher McDougall: https://www.chrismcdougall.com/born-to-run/ (https://www.chrismcdougall.com/born-to-run/) Boek ‘Endure' van Alex Hutchinson: https://runningmagazine.ca/reviews/review-endure-by-alex-hutchinson/ (https://runningmagazine.ca/reviews/review-endure-by-alex-hutchinson/)   Boek ‘Two Hours' van Ed Caesar: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jul/18/two-hours-the-quest-to-run-the-impossible-marathon-ed-caesar-review (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jul/18/two-hours-the-quest-to-run-the-impossible-marathon-ed-caesar-review)   Boek ‘The Sports Gene' van David Epstein: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/13/science/the-sports-gene-considers-the-root-of-athletic-success.html (https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/13/science/the-sports-gene-considers-the-root-of-athletic-success.html)   Het geheim van wielrennen: https://hetgeheimvanwielrennen.nl/ (https://hetgeheimvanwielrennen.nl/)   Het Maakbare Uur: https://www.harpercollins.nl/9789402702460/het-maakbare-uur/ (https://www.harpercollins.nl/9789402702460/het-maakbare-uur/)...

Link Amazon per l'acquisto del libro: https://amzn.to/2TAA4hFNon conoscevo Ed Caesar, l’autore di questo libro. E non credo neanche che avrei comprato questo libro di mia sponte, che mi è stato regalato per Natale da un amico. Però alla fine la lettura è stata piuttosto interessante.Due note al volo su Ed Caesar, che credo sia sconosciuto ai più: è un giornalista, anche piuttosto giovane, che scrive su New Yorker, Wired, The Independent e molti altri. Non si occupa principalmente di sport, del quale comunque evidentemente scrive: oltre alla maratona è appassionato di tennis. Ma i suoi articoli sono soprattutto sulla storia, sulla guerra, oltre che di cronaca contemporanea. Ha vinto anche numerosi premi in passato.Nelle pagine di questo libro si interroga sull’assalto dei maratoneti più forti al muro delle 2 ore. Fa strano, leggendolo, di come l’atletica sia “invecchiata” nel giro di così poco tempo.Questo è un libro del 2016, eppure sembra passata una vita. I nomi dei top runner del 2016 sono ben diversi da quelli attuali, così come i tempi ed i record. E, ovviamente, l’autore non poteva certo sapere che da lì a poco, ci sarebbero stati due eventi creati ad hoc per abbattere questo famoso muro: il Breaking2 di Monza, marchiato Nike, e l’ormai arcifamoso Ineos 1:59 del 2019, dove Kipchoge è riuscito finalmente nell’impresa.Anzi, proprio nelle ultime pagine del libro (non vi spoilero nulla, tanto non c’è da scoprire nessun assassino), l’autore immagina l’idea della creazione di un evento costruito per riuscire a stare sotto le due ore: un circuito totalmente pianeggiante con poco vento, i migliori runner con delle lepri, una situazione climatica nel quale correre. Si può dire che abbia pensato in anticipo a buona parte di quello che poi è stato davvero fatto!Il libro non dà tabelle di allenamento o consigli tecnici, ma, diviso in capitoli piuttosto precisi, racconta piuttosto di alcune storie legate a questo ambiente e fa alcuni approfondimenti e riflessioni sulla corsa, in particolare quella kenyana.Si parla in grandissima parte di Geoffrey Mutai, che possiamo individuare come il protagonista del libro.Ed Caesar probabilmente lo aveva “battezzato” come colui in grado per primo di riuscire a stare sotto le due ore in maratona. E, aggiungendoci alcune storie, davvero interessanti su di lui e sulla sua vita, ha pensato di utilizzarlo come una sorta di fil rouge dell’opera. La storia ci dice che la sua previsione non è stata azzeccata!Ci sono racconti delle sue gare, fatte di successi, record, ma anche di infortuni ed insuccessi. E c’è la sua vita, anche da uomo, oltre che da sportivo. L’autore ci parla dello “Spirito” che lo pervade durante le maratone, specialmente quelle meglio riuscite.Viene narrata parte della sua crescita, che immagino sia la stessa di tanti big della corsa: un'infanzia difficile, un'adolescenza vissuta con il pericolo dell’alcool, fino al compiere la scelta di allenarsi duramente in un ritiro sugli altopiani, in situazioni ambientali estreme, nella speranza di uscire dal Kenya. Cose che spesso Mutai e gli altri top runner hanno continuato a fare, nonostante le vittorie ed i soldi guadagnati.C'è un capitolo dedicato a Samuel Wanjiru, che forse in pochi conosceranno. Una promessa della maratona, che non ha saputo gestire la sua vita. Morto in una situazione tutt’ora non chiara, a soli 25 anni. E’, a quanto pare, un pericolo comune a tanti runner africani di successo: ricevere soldi dalle gare vinte e spenderli in mogli/fidanzate (più d’una!), alcool e fare piaceri ad amici, conoscenti ed anche sconosciuti, tutti affamati di denaro. Il tutto in una nazione estremamente povera, dove la differenza tra ricchi e poveri è davvero accentuata.Ma non ci sono solo loro due: si parla di tanti maratoneti famosi e di alcune loro storie e gare. Ad esempio, Bill Rodgers, Geoffrey Kamworor, Emmanuel Mutai (che non è parente di Geoffrey), Haile Gebrselassie, che l’autore chiama per tutto il tempo solo “Haile”, forse per risparmiare inchiostro e per evitare a chi ne parlerà, come me, di impappinarsi troppo nel pronunciarne il cognome.C’è anche spazio per raccontare il Kenya: patria di tanti di questi corridori, dilaniata da guerre, povertà, abuso di alcool e doping. Si parla anche di eventuali motivi più scientifici circa la superiorità degli atleti dell’Africa orientale, ma francamente questo ed il capitolo incentrato sul doping non mi sono rimasti nel cuore. Forse perché mi appassionano di più le storie, piuttosto che alcune considerazioni scientifiche e pseudo-scientifiche sull’anatomia dei kenyoti, piuttosto che illazioni, gossip ed altri eventi legati al doping. Non è nel mio stile, diciamo.Invece, mi è piaciuta la parte dedicata alla storia della maratona e di come sia diventata diffusa solo nell’ultimo secolo. Una evoluzione sia tecnica, per i top runners, che di business e di marketing. Si comprende meglio come sia economicamente allettante per un atleta correre determinate gare, in particolare quelle delle Six Majors. Ma si parla anche di come la maratona si sia diffusa come evento di massa, anche negli atleti amatoriali. In particolare, ci sono aneddoti ed accenni a New York, Londra e Boston su tutte.Inoltre, c’è anche spazio per il nostro eroico Dorando Pietri, addirittura raccontato in un’occasione da Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.----------------------Seguimi!Canale Telegram: https://t.me/da0a42Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/da0a42/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/da0a42/Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/37970087Sito: https://da0a42.home.blogOppure contattami!Telegram: https://t.me/lorenzomaggianiE-Mail: dazeroaquarantadue@gmail.com----------------------Music credits: Feeling of Sunlight by Danosongs - https://danosongs.com

What a weekend for running!

Presentamos el libro Dos Horas de Ed Caesar. En este libro, el autor nos cuenta los componentes necesarios para que se corra una maratón en dos horas. Aunque el libro fue publicado en el 2016, en anticipación al proyecto de Nike Breaking2, este libro recobra validez con el inminente Ineos 1:59 Challenge.

Nos puedes encontrar en Stitcher, Spotify, TuneIn, Google Podcast, Apple Podcast.  Estamos en todas las plataformas de podcast para Android y iPhone.   Dos Horas. El libro se centra en la historia personal de Geoffrey Mutai. Mutai, quien es el actual poseedor del record de circuito de la prestiogiosa maratón de Boston desde el 2011. Esa termino siendo su mejor marca personal. Sin embargo, el libro nos relata historias conmovedoras de cómo intento bajar este tiempo y convertirse en un hombre de «2:02» Pasando desde su dura niñez, como casi muere en medio de una guerra civil, su debut en Monaco como primera maratón internacional y su ascenso a mejor maratonista del año del 2011 y 2012 reconocido por la AIMS como atleta mundial del año. Alrededor de Mutai, el libro Dos Horas trae a colación los siguientes factores que influyeran en romper esta barrera de dos horas en maratón.   Historia. Según Caesar, varios estudios proyectan que entre 2022 y 2030 se romperán las dos horas en maratón. Esta proyección se basa en el ritmo con que los records han venido cayendo desde 1970. El autor, también nos recuerda que existe una estrecha relación entre el record mundial de 10k y el record mundial en maratón. La formula exacta es entre 4.6 y 4.7% más que el ritmo marcado durante los 10k. En este caso, el record de 10k esta en las manos del etipe Kenenisa Bekele desde el 2005 con 26’17″53. Si hacemos la matematica con el limite superior (4.7%) nos da 2:03, lo cual fue muy cercano al record mundial de Dennis Kimetto (2:02:57). Sin embargo, si lo hacemos con el limite inferior, nos arroja 2:01, lo cuál corresponde con el actual récord mundial en manos de Eliud Kipchoge en 2:01:39 obtenido en Berlin 2018.

Simon and Eleanor speak to British magazine writer Ed Caesar, who was recently made a contributing writer at the New Yorker and whose work has also appeared in the New York Times Magazine, the Atlantic, Wired, GQ and numerous other publications. Ed talked about his early career at the Independent, his decision to go freelance, breaking into the American market and the challenges of balancing his writing work and travel with his domestic commitments. He also discussed why he chooses not to live in London. https://edcaesar.co.uk/2011/05/04/isner-mahut-endless-tennis-gq/ https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/06/01/house-of-secrets https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/13/magazine/uss-wasp-lost-world-war-ii-aircraft-carrier.html You can find us online at alwaystakenotes.com, on Twitter @takenotesalways, and on Facebook at facebook.com/alwaystakenotes.

Since the minute that British citizens voted, in a 2016 referendum, to leave the European Union, confusion and disorganization has consumed the U.K. Three years later, little has changed: confusion and disorganization may carry the U.K. over the cliff of a no-deal Brexit with devastating economic consequences.   While we can’t predict what will happen on the deadline of March 29th, we continue to learn about what brought the U.K. to this precarious position. Like the 2016 presidential election in the U.S., the campaign for Brexit employed divisive social media campaigns, mysterious sources of financing, Cambridge Analytica, and questionable meetings with Russians. At the center of it was a man named Arron Banks, an insurance magnate who is happy to take credit for his efforts to promote Brexit by whatever means necessary. Ed Caesar has reported on Banks’s outsized role in the referendum, and found that Banks is had been under investigation in Britain and in South Africa, where he has business interests in diamonds, as well as a person of interest in the Mueller investigation. Caesar spoke with David Remnick about the shady past and the uncertain future of Brexit.  Plus, a visit with Roomful of Teeth, the Grammy-winning vocal octet that’s building a unique repertoire and redefining classical singing for the future.

Merwin, whose death inspired Dan to revisit his extraordinary poetry.

  During the siege of Leningrad in World War II, a heroic group of Russian botanists fought cold, hunger, and German attacks to keep alive a storehouse of crops that held the future of Soviet agriculture. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Vavilov Institute, whose scientists literally starved to death protecting tons of treasured food. We'll also follow a wayward sailor and puzzle over how to improve the safety of tanks. Intro: Tippi Hedren, star of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, shared her home with a 400-pound lion. In 2009, a California consumer sued PepsiCo for implying that crunchberries are a fruit. Sources for our feature on Nikolai Vavilov: S.M. Alexanyan and V.I.

  In 1968 British engineer Donald Crowhurst entered a round-the-world yacht race, hoping to use the prize money to save his failing electronics business. Woefully unprepared and falling behind, he resorted to falsifying a journey around the world. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the desperate measures that Crowhurst turned to as events spiraled out of his control. We'll also get some updates on Japanese fire balloons and puzzle over a computer that turns on the radio. Intro: The stones at Pennsylvania's Ringing Rocks Park chime like bells when struck with a hammer. Sand dunes that "sing" when walked upon are found at 35 sites around the world. In 1884 two scientists notated the sounds on a musical scale.

This Sunday over 50,000 people will run in the NYC Marathon. For many participants, part of the appeal is to be part of something larger and more personal than a Facebook group.  For others it’s about achieving a personal best.  But for a much smaller group of elite marathon runners, it’s about what once seemed the impossible dream...breaking the two hour mark for the 26 miles through the streets of New York.Why this goal is important, how long has it has hung over the sport and why is it now within reach?  All these questions and more are part of Ed Ceasar’s book Two Hours: The Quest to Run the Impossible Marathon.My conversation with Ed Caesar:
