    We are pretty psyched about our New Year's resolution, and we highly recommend not giving a f*ck to everyone. We learn why Denmark has suspended mail delivery, and we consider whether this is news of progress or a dystopian future. Sarah is extolling the virtues of an "analog bag," and we discuss what we would keep in our bags. Sarah got tricked by AI and we're mad about it. We learn about a man who was fined in England for littering, except the "litter" was a leaf that blew into his mouth and he spit out. WHAT.

    Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) has long been one of the most famous - and most polarizing - figures in modernism. Was she a trailblazing genius? Or a literary charlatan?

In this episode, Jacke talks to biographer Francesca Wade about the amazing archival materials, much of it never before seen by previous biographers, that helped Francesca write Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife, a groundbreaking new examination of Stein's life and legacy. PLUS Jacke takes a look at John Ruskin's recommendation for the only way to get art. AND Holly Baggett (Making No Compromise: Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap, and the "Little Review") stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read.

    Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm absolutely honored to introduce you all to: Child sexual abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, former professional footballer for the English Football League, inspiration behind the film ‘Floodlights', public speaker, thought leader, Founder of “Inside the Boys Club”, and professional Hero: Andy WoodwardA little bit about Andy and what we will be discussing today: Born in 1973 in Stockport, England, Andy grew up in a protective working-class family scarred by tragedy even before his birth: in 1971, his aunt Lynda, nine months pregnant, was raped and murdered by Ronald Bennell. Football became Andy's escape and passion from a young age. Spotted as a gifted youngster playing for Stockport boys, he caught the eye of Barry Bennell, a charismatic scout linked to Manchester City and later Crewe Alexandra. Bennell, hailed as a youth coaching genius, groomed Andy and his soft-natured parents with promises of stardom.What began as weekend stays at Bennell's home - lured by video games, pool tables, and football training - quickly turned into a real life nightmare. From a tender age of just 10 years old, Andy endured relentless sexual abuse, living in dual worlds: the bright promise of football by day, and terror by night. Bennell's manipulation was masterful; he targeted vulnerable boys from humble backgrounds, wielding fear, threats, and control. The horror deepened when Bennell formed a relationship with Andy's older sister (also named Lynda, after their murdered aunt), married her, and had children with her - all while continuing to prey on Andy.Andy carried this secret for decades, channeling suppressed rage into his game. He turned professional with Crewe in 1992, contributing to promotions and playing nearly 200 league matches across clubs before retiring in 2003. Yet the trauma manifested in panic attacks, toxic relationship patterns, and struggles with mental health. In 1997, when Bennell was convicted in the US, Andy gave police a statement but stayed anonymous to protect his career. Joining the police force post-retirement, he sought to help others, only to face further institutional failures.The turning point came in November 2016. At 43, battling personal demons, Andy waived anonymity in a Guardian interview. He detailed the abuse, Bennell's grooming tactics, and systemic cover-ups. The response was seismic: hundreds of victims emerged, leading to Bennell's multiple convictions (totaling over 50 years) and revelations of a pedophile ring across clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City, and Southampton.Today, Andy remains a powerful and unstoppable advocate. Despite the targeting and harassment he has received since going public with his testimony, he continues to relentlessly engage in public speaking - sharing his experiences on podcasts and platforms to inspire survivors and demand accountability and justice. Believing in spiritual synergy and universal purpose, he vows to continue revealing more truths about institutional betrayals, emphasizing that light will overcome darkness through collective courage. Andy is no ordinary survivor - he is a warrior whose voice dismantled a hidden empire of abuse, saving countless present and future generations.CONNECT WITH ANDY: Purchase his book 'Position of Trust': https://a.co/d/jb0ntYKInside the Boys Club: https://whatwashidden.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andy.woodward.965CONNECT WITH EMMA: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substaSupport the show

    Hubert Sagnières studies, collects, and publishes works on early explorers and has himself completed numerous explorations: In 2024, he piloted a single-engine plane on a circumnavigation of the globe, honoring the centenary of the first around-the-world flight in 1924 by the Douglas “Chicago” aircraft. He has traveled in the Indonesian archipelago, visiting remote islands and has spent time with the Dayak tribes of Borneo and the Mentawai people of Siberut Island. He has completed over 20 expeditions to the Canadian Arctic, many in very harsh winter conditions and has explored many remote Arctic regions such as the shores of Baffin Island, Ellesmere Island, and Axel Heiberg Island. In this episode we discuss Hubert's latest book 'For Glory, Not Gold: Expeditions Through Arctic Lands 1818-1876', a remarkable volume which chronicles ten major Arctic expeditions undertaken between 1818 and 1875, following the bold journeys of explorers from the United States, England, Scotland, Ireland, and France. These seafaring pioneers ventured into the ice and the unknown in pursuit of the elusive Northwest Passage. Drawing from the original journals and travel narratives of figures such as Sir Edward Parry, Sir John Ross, Sir John Franklin, Joseph René Bellot, John Rae, Sir Francis Leopold McClintock, Elisha Kent Kane, Charles Francis Hall, and Sir George Nares—along with the legendary voyage of the HMS Investigator—the book offers an intimate, firsthand look at their extraordinary quests. It features illustrations, engravings, maps, and rare documents selected from the author's own collection of historic works. More than a record of exploration, this volume reminds us that beyond the commercial ambitions tied to northern trade routes, the Arctic and the North Pole have long stirred the human imagination—calling forth the daring nineteenth-century expeditions of explorers driven by an unquenchable urge to discover new worlds.

    BAZBALL DECLARED DEAD AFTER AUSTRALIA'S ASHES VICTORY Colleague Jeremy Zakis. Australia'sdecisive 4-1 victory in the Ashes series is viewed as a failure of England's "Bazball" strategy, which Zakis declares "dead" for test cricket. The strategy, reliant on brute force and psychological warfare to score quickly, ultimately backfired by exhausting the English players over the duration of the five-day matches. The Australian team successfully "outfoxed" England by utilizing technical bowling expertise—varying pace and using sliders—rather than engaging in a contest of pure speed. While England boasted of hitting "sixes" (home runs) prior to the series, Australia's disciplined field placement and bowling variety prevented the English batters from getting "their eye in," dismantling the aggressive strategy completely.

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 11, 2026 95:17


    The period from 1550 to 1700 was critical in the development of slavery across the English Atlantic world. During this time, English discourse about slavery revolved around one central question: How could free persons be made into slaves? John Samuel Harpham shows that English authors found answers to this question in a tradition of ideas that stretched back to the ancient world, where they were most powerfully expressed in Roman law. These ideas, in turn, became the basis for the earliest defenses of American slavery. The Roman tradition had located the main source of slavery in war: enslavement was the common fate of captives who otherwise faced execution. In early modern England, this account was incorporated into studies of the common law and influential natural rights theories by the likes of Hugo Grotius and John Locke. When Europeans started to publish firsthand accounts of Africa in the sixteenth century, these reports were thus received into a culture saturated with Roman ideas. Over time, English observers started to assert that the common customs of enslavement among the nations of Africa fit within the Roman model. Englishmen had initially expressed reluctance to take part in the Atlantic slave trade. But once assured that the slave trade could be traced back to customs they understood to be legitimate, they proved keen to profit from it. An eloquent account of the moral logic that propelled the development of an immoral institution, John Samuel Harpham's The Intellectual Origins of American Slavery (Harvard University Press, 2025) reveals the power of an overlooked tradition of ideas in the history of human bondage.

    The Pilgrim Society came to the United States from England over a century ago and has been covertly pulling the strings in American politics ever since. Born out of the British Roundtable Society, the focus of this group is to covertly control the Anglo-American Establishment from the shadows.William Ramsey explains how King Charles has taken the Pilgrim Society in a different direction since ascending to the throne, and that the WASPs are expanding their control into the climate agenda under the guise of saving the planet. What role is Tavistock playing in the push for environmental retrofitting, and how does the media further the agenda?

    Another year, another U-turn. We expect that the Labour government will be forced to climb down on forthcoming increases to the business rates bills faced by pubs in England. This comes after ferocious industry backlash, spearheaded by figures such as Tom Kerridge, who has been out in the media this week drawing attention to the more than 100 per cent increase in costs some of his establishments are facing. Some are pointing to the slow unravelling of Rachel Reeves's Budget but – perhaps more damaging – is the optics of this: surely nothing mobilises deep England more than coming for our pubs. What impact will this have on Labour's credibility?

    250 years ago tomorrow, a relatively unknown colonist swept up in revolutionary fever, Thomas Paine, wrote and published a pamphlet called Common Sense, criticizing King George III of England. The document would be one of the most sold and circulated written works published in America, before or after independence, and helped tip the scales for Independence from Great Britain, which was realized just 6 months later. For the anniversary, Julie Silverbrook, vice president of Civic Education at the National Constitution Center, reflects on the legacy and present implications of "Common Sense."

    Today, the Culture Train rolls back in time to explore the incredible story of Dalmatians, the spotted dogs you might recognize right away but whose history might surprise you. With Mom, Asher, and special guest Arden, we travel to England in the late 1700s, where Dalmatians worked as carriage dogs, running alongside horses on busy cobblestone streets. We then journey forward to an early 1800s firehouse, where these hardworking dogs became trusted companions to firefighters and the horses that pulled fire wagons through growing cities. Along the way, we learn what makes Dalmatians unique, how their strong bodies and steady focus were shaped by life on the road, and why they became such an important symbol in firehouse history. We also explore how their role changed as technology evolved and what families should know about Dalmatians as pets today. This episode reminds us that animals, just like people and places, are shaped by where they come from and what they experience over time. Every journey leaves a story behind.

    Full Text of Readings The Saint of the day is Saint Adrian of Canterbury Saint Adrian of Canterbury's Story Though Saint Adrian of Canterbury turned down a papal request to become Archbishop of Canterbury, England, Pope Saint Vitalian accepted the rejection on the condition that Adrian serve as the Holy Father's assistant and adviser. Adrian accepted, but ended up spending most of his life and doing most of his work in Canterbury. Born in Africa, Adrian was serving as an abbot in Italy when the new Archbishop of Canterbury appointed him abbot of the monastery of Saints Peter and Paul in Canterbury. Thanks to his leadership skills, the facility became one of the most important centers of learning. The school attracted many outstanding scholars from far and wide and produced numerous future bishops and archbishops. Students reportedly learned Greek and Latin and spoke Latin as well as their own native languages. Saint Adrian of Canterbury taught at the school for 40 years. He died there, probably in the year 710, and was buried in the monastery. Several hundred years later, when reconstruction was being done, Adrian's body was discovered in an incorrupt state. As word spread, people flocked to his tomb, which became famous for miracles. Rumor had it that young schoolboys in trouble with their masters made regular visits there. Reflection Saint Adrian spent most of his time in Canterbury not as bishop, but as abbot and teacher. Often the Lord has plans for us that are obvious only on hindsight. How often have we said no to something or someone only to end up in much the same place anyway. The Lord knows what's good for us. Can we trust him?Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

    In the first episode of our series, we follow the rise of Akbar, a teenage ruler who inherits a fragile empire, surrounded by enemies and nearly bankrupt. Akbar expands Mughal power through conquest, but his most consequential struggles are ideological. As religious hardliners urge him to impose stricter Islamic rule, he chooses a different path: abolishing the jizya, protecting Hindu worship, and insisting that an empire built on exclusion cannot endure. Yet tolerance carries a price. In his attempt to forge a new, universal faith, Akbar begins to alienate many of those he rules and many of those closest to him. And far beyond India's shores, a new threat is taking shape. Across the seas, the rising power of England casts a jealous eye on the immense wealth of the Mughal world... A story of empire, belief, and tolerance. The opening chapter in our "Downfall Of The Mughals" series. ⁠⁠Help support the show on Patreon!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Sources and Attributions on our website.

    John Stewart was elected MP for Lymington, Hampshire on 8th January, 1833.  On paper, he seemed a textbook member of Britain's elite: wealthy, well-connected, educated in England, and a plantation owner.  But Stewart's mother was an enslaved woman, making him considered by many to be Britain's first Black MP. Yet Stewart did not enter Parliament to challenge slavery or injustice. Rather, he was an unapologetic defender of the plantation system, opposed the abolition of slavery, fought taxes on sugar, and later resisted ending the exploitative “apprenticeship” system that replaced slavery after 1833.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discover how Stewart campaigned to benefit financially from the ending of slavery; uncover the other mixed-race MPs who could qualify as Britain's ‘first' non-white Parliamentarians; and consider how it wasn't until 1987 that Parliament truly became more racially representative…   Further Reading: • ‘Who were the first MPs from ethnic minority backgrounds?'

    Follow the adventures of the brave little tailor as he tricks his way to ultimate success, on the strength of a misunderstanding of the meaning of 'seven at a blow...'With dim-witted giants, a daft unicorn and a king almost as tricksy as our questionable hero, it's a jolly reminder that guts can come in any size.If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastREGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

    The United States says it has seized two tankers accused of violating sanctions against Venezuela. One of them, a Russian ship, was boarded in the North Atlantic between Iceland and Britain. The US coastguard had been pursuing the ship for weeks since intercepting it off the Venezuelan coast. During the chase, the vessel underwent a change of name and adopted a Russian flag. Russian support including a submarine was on its way before the tanker was seized. The other tanker, sailing under the flag of Cameroon, was seized in the Caribbean. Also: the White House says that President Trump has been discussing options, including military force, to acquire Greenland, which it says is vital to US security.

    Discover the world's earliest known system of astrology• Explores ancient Mesopotamian astrology, which originated with those who created Göbekli Tepe, and details the system's eighteen zodiac signs• Shares the author's decades-long research to decipher the meanings and characteristics behind each of the original eighteen signs• Shows how the original zodiac can enrich and expand our understanding of astrology, personal relationships, and our sense of self and destinyToday the zodiac is divided into twelve signs through which the sun appears to travel in a year. A person's sign can influence their personality, physical characteristics, and fate. However, in ancient Mesopotamia, the first zodiac was divided into eighteen signs—different from the Western and Vedic systems in use today. The Original Zodiac reveals, for the first time in more than 4,000 years, this earliest known system of astrology.The original Mesopotamian zodiac offered very different birth signs, including the Serpent, Swan, Crane, Horse, Wolf, and Eagle. This zodiac was recorded on a clay tablet that is now housed in the British Museum, cataloged as BM 86378, but there is no written record of how these signs were interpreted. Now, after decades of intensive research, Graham Phillips reveals the meanings of these mysterious signs and their relevance for our times.To determine what traits might be shared by those born in each sign of the original zodiac, Phillips comprehensively surveyed hundreds of volunteers from diverse backgrounds. He measured each participant's likes, dislikes, hobbies, habits, employment, health information, and other pertinent aspects of their lives and identities. Not intended to replace or challenge our traditional understanding of astrology, his findings offer an original system to enrich our current knowledge of the personality, character, and destiny of those born in each of its enigmatic signs.Graham Phillips is one of Britain's bestselling nonfiction authors. A former radio journalist and broadcaster for the BBC, and founder of Strange Phenomena magazine, he is a historical investigator of unsolved mysteries. The author of many books, including The Templars and the Ark of the Covenant, The Lost Tomb of King Arthur, The End of Eden, and Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt, he lives in the Midlands of England.https://www.grahamphillips.net/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
