With both the Scottish and UK Parliaments back in session today, there is a back to school vibe for this week's podcast. After a quite week last week everything is kicking up a gear. We look at the Keir Starmer's mini mini reshuffle, which is a lot less sensational than expected, but seems to be centralizing power in Number 10. We talk about the number of departures from the Scottish Conservatives, and the fact that one of them, Graham Simpson going to Reform, might jeopardize the recall petition idea that he is pushing through as a private member's Bill.We also talk about the Scottish Green's leadership election and what that might mean in terms of new leadership, the energy price cap, and Kemi Badenoch: drill, baby, drill. All of that and more.

But has its record and impact been as significant as its advocates claim? What have been its successes - and what could it do better?

Archives are not only sources for history but have their own histories too, which shape how historians can tell stories of the past. In Managing Paperwork in Mamluk Cairo: Archives, Waqf and Society (Edinburgh UP, 2025), Daisy Livingston explores the archival history of one of the most powerful polities of the late-medieval Middle East: the ‘Mamluk' sultanate of Cairo. Relying on surviving original documents, Livingston focuses on archival practices connected to waqf, the pious endowments that became one of the characteristic features of late-medieval Islamic societies. By centering a close exploration of documents connected to processes of endowment and property exchange, this book sheds light on a startling culture of document accumulation that was shared by the diverse social groups involved in founding and managing endowments: sultans and emirs, qadis, legal notaries, and scribes. Emphasizing the documents' life cycles from production, to preservation, to disposal and loss, it argues for the use of surviving documents to tell their own archival histories. Daisy Livingston is Associate Professor of Medieval Islamic History in the Department of History at Durham University. As a historian of the medieval Middle East, in particular Egypt between the tenth and sixteenth centuries, her research focuses on various aspects of documentary culture, especially histories of archiving. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. She is co-author of What Primary Sources Teach: Lessons for Every Classroom (2022) and The Social Movement Archive (2021), and co-editor of Armed By Design: Posters and Publications of Cuba's Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (2025).

In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins dives deep into the life of James “Jimmy the Gent” Burke. Prompted by listener Paul Blackwood of Edinburgh, Gary explores Burke's world beyond the headlines of the Lufthansa heist. From his turbulent childhood in foster homes and orphanages to his rise as a feared and respected mobster in the Lucchese family, Burke's story is one of violence, loyalty, and paranoia. Gary traces Burke's early years of crime, his ties with Henry Hill and Paul Vario, and the meticulous planning of the Lufthansa heist that netted millions—and left a trail of blood in its aftermath. The episode also covers Burke's role in gambling and drug rackets, his eventual downfall in the Boston College point-shaving scandal, and his complicated legacy in mob history. Was Jimmy the Gent a loyal operator, or a ruthless killer who trusted no one? Tune in for a gripping exploration of one of organized crime's most enigmatic figures. Subscribe to Gangland Wire wherever you get your podcasts, and join us each week as we uncover the stories buried beneath the headlines—and the bodies.

So thank you, Paul. Hope you're listening to this.  I will try to remember to send you an email just before I release this one. However, Paul suggested that I do a story that focuses more specifically on Jimmy Burke, also known as Jimmy the Gent. And I looked around, and I agreed with Paul. Burke is mentioned on many podcasts because we all want to discuss the famous Lufthansa. I want to talk about Henry Hill, some of the other mob people in the Lucchese family, but it seems like I wasn't really finding a show that was just focused on Burke. So, James, Jimmy the Gent, Burke and where he came from and where he went. [0:43] Oh, and don't forget to hit me up on Venmo, buy me a cup of coffee once in a while, or maybe go donate on the podcast. I appreciate it. It helps pay the bills and keep me going. Now, Burke may be one of the most famous mob associates of all times, I would say. Oh, there's some in Chicago. They had a lot of associates in Chicago. But because of, of course, Henry Hill and Robert De Niro playing him, [1:07] why, he probably would be the most famous mob guy who is not a made man. If Henry Hill had not gone into witness protection, if Henry Hill had not done that book with Nicholas Pelleggi, Wise Guys, or if the famous filmmaker Martin Scorsese hadn't taken Wise Guys and Pellegi's book and got Pellegi to help write a script and titled it Goodfellas. And when Robert De Niro took the part of Jimmy the Gent, his place in history was assured, I'll tell you that, especially in mob history. In my humble opinion, this book and film were arguably the best depictions of day-to-day mob life ever that I've ever seen. I thought it was amazing. He did a heck of a job at the casino. [1:55] And to see the egos of these guys, once they turn, are just amazing. When Lefty Rosenthal heard Robert De Niro was going to play him, he told Pelleggio, oh yeah, I'll work with you, I'll work on this. And I'm not sure what brought Henry Hill around,

Brilliant in acting. Brilliant in producing. Brilliant in executive producing. Brilliant in...directing? Let's hope so. Given her extraordinarily body of work, most recently in front of the camera in Gil Henry's PAS VRAIMENT ORDINAIRE (2025), we can only hope my guest, Floriane Andersen, will be in the director's chair soon. She certainly has made the opportunity for herself; the production company she co-founded, Artak Pictures, has six projects in the works, two of which she is slated to direct. She is not only forging ahead, but creating a path for others to follow.In this episode, Floriane and I discuss:Her origin story and what the words “French actress” means to her;Why her production company takes on underrepresented voices;Whether she casts based on social media followings and trends;Working with first time female filmmakers versus people who may already know how the system works;Whether she sees other production companies in the championing female voices space as competition;As an actor, producer, and executive producer, how does she approach festivals like Edinburgh and Locarno;How actors can best take advantage of attending film festivals;Her advice for filmmakers just starting out and specifically for French filmmakers;What's next for her — SIX features! — and she's attached as a director for two of them.Floriane's Indie Film Highlight: TWO NEIGHBORS (2025) dir. by Ondine ViñaoMemorable Quotes: “I'm a storyteller, first and foremost.”“Females voices are underrepresented in the film industry so we will focus on that as long as there is still disparity. But hopefully this is not even going to be a subject soon and we can focus on other underrepresented voices.” “Sometimes festivals are not very actor friendly.”“I don't see it as work, even if it is a lot of work.”Links:Follow Floriane On InstagramFollow Artak Pictures On InstagramSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

Geheimdienste – für viele ein Mythos, für manche ein Schreckensbild, für die Wissenschaft ein schwer zugängliches Forschungsfeld. Dr. Noura Chalati und Dr. Silvia-Lucretia Nicola sprechen in der aktuellen Folge von „Zugehört“ über ein wenig beleuchtetes Kapitel der Geheimdienstgeschichte: die Beziehungen zwischen den Geheimdiensten in Syrien und der DDR zwischen 1960 und 1990. Von Spitzeln, Foltermethoden und dem langen Schatten der Vergangenheit In dieser Folge von Zugehört berichtet die Politikwissenschaftlerin Dr. Noura Chalati über die bislang kaum erforschte Zusammenarbeit zwischen den syrischen Geheimdiensten (Mukhabarat) und dem ostdeutschen Geheimdienst, der Staatssicherheit, während des Kalten Krieges. Auf Basis von Archivfunden rekonstruierte sie, wie autoritäre Regime Informationen, Methoden und Machtlogiken trotz gegenseitigem Misstrauen austauschten – von Spitzelnetzwerken bis hin zu Folterpraktiken. Dabei wird schnell deutlich: Geheimdienste sind und waren nie rein nationale Akteure, sondern stets Teil transnationaler Beziehungsgeflechte. Es wird nachgezeichnet, wie historische Kontinuitäten bis in die Gegenwart reichen. Was steckt hinter der oft erzählten Legende vom „Deutschen Stuhl“? Welche Rolle spielten die Mukhabarat bei der Aufrechterhaltung der Machthaber in Syrien über mehrere Dekaden? Wie lassen sich staatliche Gewalt und Verbrechen von Geheimdiensten aufarbeiten? Ein Gespräch über Repression, Überwachung und Bürokratie – und die schwierige Frage, wie eine Gesellschaft nach Jahrzehnten der Totalüberwachung und Gewalt zur Aussöhnung finden kann. Die GesprächspartnerinnenDr. Silvia-Lucretia Nicola ist Sozialwissenschaftlerin und wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Zentrum für Militärgeschichte und Sozialwissenschaften der Bundeswehr im Forschungsbereich Einsatz. Neben der Erforschung der deutsch-irakisch-kurdischen Beziehungen nach 1991 dokumentiert und begleitet sie die Auslandseinsätze der Bundeswehr wissenschaftlich. Dr. Noura Chalati ist Politikwissenschaftlerin mit den Schwerpunkten Internationale Beziehungen, Geheimdienste und Naher Osten. Sie studierte in Berlin, Lyon und Edinburgh und wurde in Berlin promoviert. Ihre Promotion entwickelt sie als Teil der Forschungsgruppe „Learning Intelligence: The Exchange of Secret Service Knowledge between Germany and the Arab Middle East 1960–2010“ am Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO) in Berlin.

In this episode, host Dr Pasquale Iannone explores some highlights from the 78th Edinburgh International Film Festival which took place in August 2025. Writer-director Mas Bouzidi tells Pasquale about his debut feature Concessions, a bittersweet comedy shot on 16mm which tells of the final day of business of a New York cinema. Pasquale is also joined by writer-director Gerard Johnson and lead actor Polly Maberly to discuss their powerful new thriller Odyssey. Maberly delivers an extraordinary performance as a take-no-prisoners, drug-addled London lettings agent whose firm is going through hard times but is determined to keep up appearances, even if it means sliding further and further into debt. Pasquale also discusses EIFF titles Young Mothers (Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne) and Dragonfly (Paul Andrew Williams)
