Podcast appearances and mentions of Francis Drake

Forget the storybook version of British history. Churchill without Hitler would be a forgotten windbag with a record of failure. Elizabeth I and Francis Drake didn't defeat the Spanish – bad luck and bad weather sank the Armada. And Boudicca would be remembered as a sadistic tyrant if not for the Romans. Creator of the multi-million-selling kids' series Horrible Histories Terry Deary brings his irreverent, fact-packed style to adult readers with A History of Britain in Ten Enemies.

Sir Francis Drake was one of the many Buccaneers that roamed the shores of North America on behalf of Queen Elizabeth I in the late 1570s. He was an English explorer, sea captain, privateer, slave trader, Elizabethan naval officer, and politician. He is best known for his circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition, from 1577-80. This included his incursion into the Pacific Ocean, until then an area of exclusive Spanish interest, and his claim to Nova or New Albion for England, an area in what is now the U.S. state of California.

David Salomoni"Leonesse"La Storia tra le righeFestival di Letteratura StoricaSabato 5 aprile 2025, ore 15:00La storia tra le righeCastello di Legnano, Sala delle Capriatecon David Salomoni "Leonesse"C'è stato un tempo di donne in grado di guidare eserciti e di condurli in battaglia. Un tempo in cui, dall'alto delle mura di città circondate dai nemici, erano voci femminili a dare ordini e incitare gli uomini. Era il tempo delle leonesse, le donne cavaliere del Rinascimento.Chi l'ha detto che le donne del Rinascimento erano destinate unicamente a indossare splendidi abiti come Monna Lisa? O a passare la vita tra seduzione, inganni e trame come Lucrezia Borgia? In realtà in Italia è esistita una tradizione importante di donne dedite all'arte della guerra: feudatarie, capitane di ventura, donne cavaliere e anche popolane. Se Matilde di Canossa è la prima, e forse la più conosciuta, altre sono state all'epoca capaci di suscitare sconcerto e terrore per l'audacia delle proprie imprese: da Caterina Sforza a Cia Ordelaffi, da Orsina Visconti a Bona Lombardi – la Giovanna d'Arco italiana. Donne al comando di eserciti in difesa dei propri castelli, è il caso di Donella Rossi, e battaglioni interamente femminili, come quelli che combatterono a protezione di Siena e della sua indipendenza durante l'assedio dei fiorentini nel 1555.David Salomoni è docente presso l'Università per Stranieri di Siena. Ha lavorato nel Dipartimento di Storia e Filosofia della scienza dell'Università di Lisbona nell'ambito del progetto ERC Rutter: Making the Earth Global e nel 2022 è stato Berenson Fellow presso l'Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies a Villa I Tatti.Tra le sue più recenti pubblicazioni, Scuola, maestri e scolari nelle comunità degli stati gonzagheschi e estensi (Anicia 2017) e Educating the Catholic People: Religious Orders and Their Schools in Early Modern Italy (1500-1800) (Brill 2021).

Una aventura de capa y espada: la historia real y desconocida de los piratas. Desde el legendario John Ward, inmortalizado en la ficción como Jack Sparrow, y el explorador inglés Francis Drake, tildado de pirata por sus enemigos, pero de héroe por sus camaradas, hasta los Piratas del Caribe, brutales y envueltos en mitos. ¿Quiénes eran los verdaderos enemigos del mar?

In association with our friends at Digital-Life-Design (DLD), Europe's iconic annual tech conference which next January celebrates its twentieth anniversary, we are starting a series of conversations with DLD speakers looking back over the last twenty years. First up is Silicon Valley entrepreneur, speaker and author John Hagel, who talked, quite openly, about his lifelong fear of fear and how he's cured himself of this affliction over the last two decades.John Hagel III has more than 40 years' experience as a management consultant, author, speaker and entrepreneur. After recently retiring as a partner from Deloitte, McGraw Hill published in May 2021 his latest book, The Journey Beyond Fear, that addresses the psychology of change and he is developing a series of programs to help people navigate through change at many levels. John has founded a new company, Beyond Our Edge, LLC, that works with companies and people who are seeking to anticipate the future and achieve much greater impact. While at Deloitte, John was the founder and chairman of the Silicon Valley-based Deloitte Center for the Edge, focusing on identifying emerging business opportunities that are not yet on the CEO's agenda. Before joining Deloitte, John was an independent consultant and writer and prior to that was a principal at McKinsey & Company and a leader of their Strategy Practice as well as the founder of their E-Commerce Practice. John has served as senior vice president of strategy at Atari, Inc., and is the founder of two Silicon Valley startups. John is also a faculty member at Singularity University where he gives frequent talks on the mounting performance pressure created by digital technology and promising approaches to help traditional companies make the transition from a linear to an exponential world. He is also on the Board of Trustees at the Santa Fe Institute, an organization that conducts leading edge research on complex adaptive systems. He has also led a number of initiatives regarding business transformation with the World Economic Forum. John is the author of The Power of Pull, published by Basic Books in April 2010. He is also the author of a series of best-selling business books, Net Gain, Net Worth, Out of the Box, and The Only Sustainable Edge. He is widely published and quoted in major business publications including The Economist, Fortune, Forbes, Business Week, Financial Times, and Wall Street Journal, as well as general media like the New York Times, NBC and BBC. He has won two awards from Harvard Business Review for best articles in that publication and has been recognized as an industry thought leader by a variety of publications and institutions, including the World Economic Forum and Business Week. John has his own website at www.johnhagel.com, and for many years wrote personal blogs at www.edgeperspectives.typepad.com as well as contributing postings on the Harvard Business Review, Fortune and Techonomy websites. He is active in social media and can be followed on Twitter at @jhagel and on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jhagel/ John holds a BA from Wesleyan University, a B.Phil. from Oxford University, and a JD and MBA from Harvard University. John Hagel has spent over 40 years in Silicon Valley and has experience as a management consultant, entrepreneur, speaker and author. He is driven by a desire to help individuals and institutions around the world to increase their impact in a rapidly changing world.

We're starting a new series on KEEN ON in association with my dear friends at the DLD conference. It's an annual conference held each year in Munich. My view? Certainly the best tech conference in Europe, if not in the world. And in January 2025, they're celebrating their 20th anniversary. And in association with DLD, we're talking to some of their most notable speakers about their experiences over the last 20 years. We're beginning with an old friend of mine, John Hagel, a very distinguished author, futurist. His last book was called The Journey Beyond Fear, and John spoke at DLD '16 about narratives and business. And I began our DLD KEEN ON conversation with John Hagel by asking him to cast his mind back to January 2005.HAGEL: In January 2005, I was working as an independent consultant in Silicon Valley. I'd been there for 25 years already. I was fascinated with the degree to which digital technology was exponentially improving, and I was being aggressively recruited, at the time, by a large consulting firm, Deloitte, that wanted me to join. I was a bit resistant. I turned them down four times because I didn't want to go work for another large consulting firm. I'd been a partner with McKinsey before that, but ultimately they prevailed. They persuaded me that they would help me create a new research center that would be autonomous, even though it was part of Deloitte and it was really focused on trying to understand the long-term trends that are reshaping the global economy and what the implications are for people. And that was my passion, and I'm very grateful that I was able to pursue that.KEEN: What was the global economy, John, like in 2005?HAGEL: It was definitely becoming more and more connected. It was going through fundamental change even at that stage. I've come to call it "the big shift," but basically, some long-term trends that were playing out were creating mounting performance pressure on all of us. One form of pressure was intensifying competition on a global scale. Companies were competing with companies from around the world. Workers were competing with workers from around the world. So there was a lot of intensifying competition. The pace of change was accelerating. Things you thought you could count on were no longer there. And then, as if that weren't enough, all the connectivity we were creating...a small event in a faraway place in the world quickly cascades into an extreme, disruptive event. So it creates a lot of performance pressure on all people. And we were just in the early stages of that. I think we're actually still in the early stages of "the big shift." A lot more to come.KEEN: What was it, John, about "the big shift?" It was your term, is still, I think, one of the best terms to describe the first quarter of the 21st century. What both most worried and excited you about "the big shift" in 2005? Back then, not today.HAGEL: Well, at the time, I was starting to realize that fundamental change was going to be required in all companies, all organizations, governments, universities. And I was worried that that would be a challenge, that not many people really embrace that kind of change, and so how do you get people to make that transition? But on the other side, I was excited about the fact that the changes that we were seeing—I love paradox. And one of the paradoxes of the big shift is, I mentioned the mounting performance pressure as one of the trends and the big shift. Another trend was exponentially expanding opportunity. We can create far more value with far less resource, far more quickly, given all the connectivity that's been created. So the excitement was that if we understood the changes that were happening and were willing to make the changes, we could create value that would have never been imagined before.KEEN: Back in 2005, John, what were the lessons of the past that we were trying to correct? History obviously always changes. Today, in 2025, we seem to be wanting to learn from, perhaps, 2005. But what were we reacting against in 2005?HAGEL: Well, frankly, I think we're still reacting against it. But in 2005, the way I describe it is all new large institutions around the world, not just companies, but again, governments and universities and foundations, all the large organizations around the world were built on a model that I call scalable efficiency. The key to success is becoming more and more efficient and scale. Do things faster and cheaper. And hard to argue, because for over a century that model of scalable efficiency gave us all the global, large institutions we know around the world today. So, a huge success with that model. The challenge is that in a rapidly changing world, scalable efficiency becomes more and more inefficient. We're not able to respond to the changes that are going on. We're just focused on doing what we've always done faster and cheaper. So I think that's an interesting dilemma that we were confronting in 2005 and frankly still confronting.KEEN: Were there organizations in particular back in 2005 that captured what you call this paradox of the great shift?HAGEL: Yes. I think that one of the things that I was focused on—I wrote a number of books in the past 20 years, three books. And one of them was called The Only Sustainable Edge. And it was a notion that in a world of more rapid change, we need to focus on what I call scalable learning. And learning not in the form of sharing existing knowledge, not in the form of training programs, but learning in the form of creating new knowledge as we confront entirely new situations and figure out how to create value in those situations, and do that throughout the organization, not just in the research department or the product development group, but every department needs to be focused on scalable learning. And part of that, it's how do you reach out and connect with broader networks of third parties, rather than just try to do it all yourself inside your organization? And in that context, I was looking at companies in a very large part of the developing world, China, for example. There were companies that were pursuing really innovative approaches to scalable learning in global networks, where they were connecting in global networks and focusing on driving innovation and learning throughout the network. So that really inspired me with the notion that this is not only possible but necessary.KEEN: John, one of the words that I always associate with your name is is "the edge." You popularized it, you were part of a group that focused on researching the impact of edge technologies in organizations. Why is this word "the edge" so important to making sense of the last 20 years?HAGEL: Well, I actually founded the Center for the Edge, and it took me a while to get Deloitte to approve the title because they said, wait a minute, you're either the center or you're the edge. How can you be both? And again, I love paradox, but in the context of the question about what do we mean by edge, it was the belief that if you're looking for change that's coming into the world, start by looking at edges. It could be geographic edges, developing economies. It could be demographic edges, younger generations coming into the workforce or into the marketplace. It could be edges across disciplines and academic world, many different kinds of edges. But it's venture out into those edges and look for emerging things that have the potential to scale and become really significant as change agents. And I think that that's what drove us to really do our research, was to find those edges and learn from the edge.KEEN: What did you believe in, John, in 2005, or is that an inappropriate question?HAGEL: What did I believe in? Well, I believe that again, digital technology is a key catalyst, changing the world. As was mentioned, I've been in Silicon Valley for many decades, but I've also, while I've been based here in Silicon Valley, I've been working with large organizations around the world, so I've got a global perspective as well as focusing on the digital technology and how it's driving change. But I think it was a notion that, again, we are seeing some significant change that's happening. But I think that one of the things that I came to realize over time, because I was so focused on these opportunities and things that were emerging around the world and the need for change and the need for transformation. And I was encountering significant resistance from leaders of organizations and from people within the organization. When I talked about the need for change and transformation. And the thing that I learned, and has become a real focus for my work now, is rather than just focusing on strategy and business, focus on emotions. Focus on the emotions that are shaping our choices and actions. And one of the things I came to realize was that in a world of rapid change, the emotion of fear becomes more and more prevalent. And fear? Well, it's understandable. I think there are reasons for fear in a rapidly changing world. It's also very limiting. It holds you back. You become much more risk averse. You erode trust in other people. You don't want to look out into the future. You just want to focus on today. You need to find ways to move beyond the fear and cultivate other emotions that will help you to have much more impact that's meaningful to you and others. And that's become a real focus for me, is how do we make that journey beyond the fear? It was my most recent book is The Journey Beyond Fear, because I've come to believe that psychology and emotions are really the key that's going to determine how we move forward.KEEN: That was very personable, John. And I know that you've had a lot of experience of fear in your own personal life as well as in a professional context. Do you think one of the narratives, perhaps the central story for you over the last 20 years, has been overcoming fear?HAGEL: Yes. Well, I think that it certainly was a period of change for me and helped me to really reflect on how much the emotion of fear had been driving my life. But at the same time, I began to see that there were things that had really excited me throughout my life. And while they were quite different, you know, my first book was in 1976, and it was on alternative energy technologies. A little bit early, but throughout my life I had been excited about certain things, like alternative energy technologies, and when I stepped back and reflected, well, was I just shifting all over the place to different things, or was there a common element in all of these? I began to realize that what really excited me, and where my passion was, was in looking into the future and seeing emerging opportunities and helping to make people aware of those opportunities and ultimately motivate them to address those opportunities. And that was my passion and really helped me to overcome my fear, even though there's still fear there, it's never fully eliminated. But it's what really kept me going and keeps me going today.KEEN: Your 20-year narrative, John seems to have been pretty successful. You've learned a lot. You've published a lot. You succeeded in many ways. But that personal narrative, is that reflected in the world itself? It seems in some ways, certainly according to the pessimists who seem to be dominant these days in our zeitgeist, the world is taking a step back. If John Hagel took a step forward between 2005 and 2025, the world has taken a step back. Is that fair?HAGEL: No, I think it's very fair. I think that if I had to generalize, and obviously generalizations need some qualification, but generalizing, I would say that over the past 20 years, the emotion of fear has become more and more prevalent around the world. At the highest levels of organizations, lowest levels out in the communities. And again, while I think it's understandable, I think it's a very limiting emotion, and it's creating more and more challenge for us in terms of: how do we really embrace the change that's going to be required and capture the opportunities that are available to us? So I think that it's become a real focus for me and again, was the motivation for me to write the book The Journey Beyond Fear. I'm wanting to help people, first of all, acknowledge the fear, because I think many people don't even want to admit that they're afraid. And we live in cultures where if you say you're afraid, you're a weakling. But acknowledge the fear, recognize its limits, and find ways to move forward beyond it. And that's what I'm focused on now.KEEN: Is that fear, John, has it been most clearly manifested over the last 20 years in politics, particularly in the growth of liberal populism, which, in many people's views, you may or may not agree with it, is the way in which politicians take advantage of the culture of fear?HAGEL: It's complicated. I think there are factors that are helping to intensify the fear. A bit controversial or provocative. But I actually, in the United States, I believe both sides of our political spectrum are equally guilty in the sense that they have both focused on what I call "threat-based narratives," the enemies coming together. So, we're all going to die. We need to mobilize now and resist, or we're going to die. The enemy differs depending on which side you're on, but it's all about the threat. The enemy feeds the fear. And you look at our news media and challenge people to say, Tell me, when was the last time you heard a good news story? It's all about the latest catastrophe. Somewhere in the world where people have died and more are going to die. And so I think that there are factors that are feeding the fear, unfortunately, and making it an even more challenging emotion to overcome.KEEN: John, you spoke at DLD in 2016, and the focus of your talk was on storytelling, on the narrative of fear, on telling a good story. Is that the key to addressing so much of the fear in the world today, is telling a different story?HAGEL: Well, I have to be careful because I use words with different meanings than most people do. When I when I say narrative, most people say, you're talking about stories. Yeah, we know about stories. No, I believe there's an important distinction between stories and narratives. So for me, stories are self-contained. They have a beginning, a middle and an end to them. The end, the stories over. And the story is about me, the storyteller, or it's about some other people, real or imagined. It's not about you. In contrast, for me, a narrative is open ended. There's some big threat or opportunity out in the future. Not clear whether it's going to be achieved or not. And the resolution of the narrative hinges on you. It's a call to action to say, your choices, your actions are going to help determine how this narrative plays out. And again, I believe we've become increasingly dominated around the world by threat-based narratives. When we look into the future, there are huge threats, big challenges. Who's focused on the really big opportunities, inspiring opportunities, that could bring us all together? And what amazing things we could accomplish. So, I have become a strong believer that what I call opportunity-based narratives can become a powerful catalyst to help us move beyond the fear and start to cultivate an emotion that I call the passion of the explorer, that will help people to really have much more impact in a rapidly changing world.KEEN: In thinking about this alternative narrative, I'm thinking about it perhaps in architectural terms. Might we imagine this to be storytelling from the edge, or at least an architecture, a narrative architecture, which is built around the edge rather than some imaginary center?HAGEL: Well, again, I want to make the distinction between stories and narratives. I'm talking about narratives.KEEN: Right. Your idea of a narrative is more profound. It's deeper than the way most of us think about narratives. I take your point.HAGEL: Yes, I want to be explicit about that because—and not to dismiss the power of stories, I think stories can be very useful as well. But in making The Journey Beyond Fear—one of the things I should mention is, I've studied, throughout history, movements for social change in different parts of the world, different periods of history. And one of the things that I think is interesting is, the most successful movements for social change around the world throughout history, have been driven by what I describe as an opportunity-based narrative. The leaders were focused on a really inspiring opportunity that could bring people together and excite them. Just one small example that many people here in the U.S., at least, are familiar with is Martin Luther King's speech in Washington, D.C., "I Have a Dream." Amazing things we could accomplish. And yes, there are obstacles and barriers, absolutely. But the focus was on the opportunity of coming together and achieving amazing things.KEEN: John, you and I have talked about this before. Perhaps the most influential modern philosopher is Thomas Hobbes, 17th-century author of Leviathan. He made fear, and I think in many ways his theory of the world was built around his life, he was a very fearful man, and he didn't think fear was a bad thing. He actually thought it was a good thing for humans to recognize the value of fear. I don't want to revisit Hobbes. I know you're not a political philosopher, but at the same time, is there value to fear? Does it have any value at all, or your view, do we really need to simply overcome it and move beyond it?HAGEL: No. No. I am not in any way suggesting we will eliminate it. I believe fear is something that's intrinsic. And an example I give—and this ties to another emotion I mentioned briefly, passion of the explorer. I've come to believe that if we're really going to achieve significant impact in a rapidly changing world, we need to cultivate a very specific form of passion, the passion of the explorer. And I've studied this in many different domains, but one interesting domain is extreme sports. I've spent a lot of time with big wave surfers. Interesting thing, if you talk to a big wave surfer as they're paddling out to ride the next big wave, they're afraid. They know that people have not only fallen off their board, but have died riding those waves. So they're afraid, and they're using the fear to focus on what are the risks, how can I manage the risks? But they are paddling with Excitement. To get out, to ride that wave. They're not letting the fear dominate them. And so I think that's the interesting dynamic and relationship that needs to be established, to use the fear to focus on the risks. But don't let it stop you from making significant change.KEEN: You've clearly learned a great deal over the last 20 years, John. Do you have any regrets, though? Have you made mistakes? Are there things you wish you'd done that you haven't?HAGEL: You know, I think that it's complicated. I do believe that the big mistake in the early days was really focusing so much on the opportunities that were being, created and not recognizing the role of emotions in preventing us from addressing those opportunities. And so it's led to a significant shift in my life and my thinking and my work around...and I'm not ignoring the opportunities, I'm continuing to explore the opportunities. But at the same time, I'm really focused on how we address the obstacles and barriers that are preventing us from getting to those opportunities. And that's where I'm spending more and more of my time.KEEN: When we think back to 2005, most of the same big tech companies were around. Amazon, Google, Microsoft. Facebook was just beginning. There was a very positive, broadly, outlook on tech those days. Today, in 2025, things have changed dramatically. Is that fair, do you think?HAGEL: Well, again, it's complicated. I think that this is one of the areas where fear is really demonstrating itself, anything large and big. One of the big issues that I see, it's not just tech, by the way, I mean, there are surveys around the world that...our trust in large institutions around the world is eroding at a very rapid rate. And when I say this to people that they nod their heads. They've all seen the surveys. Very few people that I know of have asked the question, why? What's driving that erosion of trust? And I believe I've come to believe, based on the research I've done, that a big factor is fear, the emotion of fear, which leads to erosion of trust. And so we need to really understand, why are we so fearful and what can we do to address it? And I don't want to dismiss, I think there are issues, too, in terms of, and I'll just mention quickly, in technology, one of the big issues with the large tech companies is they tend to be supported by advertising models and commission-based models, where they're being paid by the advertiser and the vendors, and the user of the technology, you're the product. And so I think more and more people are beginning to realize that a tech company's primary loyalty is not to you as the user, it's to the people who are paying all the bills. So, I think there are reasons for erosion of trust. But I do think that we need to recognize that fear is a significant factor as well.KEEN: Have you changed your own view of the potential of technology over the last 20 years? You've been in Silicon Valley for a long time, John. You're one of the most distinguished, respected people. You're not a billionaire type, so you're not just a drum beater. But at the same time, you're a man who's not just naturally negative and skeptical. Do you think you're more or less optimistic and positive about the impact of tech, particularly big tech, on the world today in 2025 than you were in 2005?HAGEL: Good question. I think that I'm by nature an optimist, so I'm always looking at opportunities in the future. And I think that technology can still produce amazing new opportunities. One of the interesting things to me—it's not getting as much attention as I think it should is the role of technology innovation in biology and health and wellness. Helping us to live longer, healthier, better lives. And I think we're just in the earliest stages of that technology being developed. But rather than technology being outside us, technology is increasingly going to be inside us and helping us to lead much fuller lives. And so I'm very optimistic about that. And I do believe that the world is changing at a rapid rate, and I'm a believer that we're going to see major new technology companies emerge. And a lot of the current technology leaders will be disrupted and cast to the side. So, more change to come.KEEN: Are there individuals over the last 20 years who have, in your mind, captured the spirit of the age? When one thinks of Elon Musk, for example, he seems to be someone immune from fear. For better or worse—he's not always the most popular man in the world, certainly the richest man in the world. But are there men—and they tend to be men, perhaps women—over the last 20 years, who, for you, have captured all the best and, perhaps some of the worst, of world history in this first quarter of the 21st century?HAGEL: Wow. Well, in that context, I want to answer the question I get from a lot of people since I've been in Silicon Valley for so long is: how do you explain the continued success of Silicon Valley for so many decades? And most people, when confronted with that question, will say, well, it's the venture capitalists, it's the universities, it's the infrastructure. No, I believe that the success of Silicon Valley is being driven by an opportunity-base narrative, which is fundamentally—we have exponentially expanding digital technology that can enable us to change the world for the better. But it's not going to happen automatically. You need to come to Silicon Valley. Will you come? It's the reason why the majority of successful entrepreneurs and Silicon Valley—most people don't know this—the majority of successful entrepreneurs were not born in the United States, much less in Silicon Valley. They were drawn here from all over the world. And it's because they were driven by, again, a very specific passion that I call the passion of the explorer. And that's where they're excited about new territory and are excited about venturing out on the edges, excited about finding ways to have more and more impact that's meaningful to people. And I think that's really been a continuing driver of success in the Valley. KEEN: John, you live in the North Bay, just north of San Francisco, over the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. This part of the world was discovered by one of the great explorers in world history, Francis Drake. And there's a wonderful bay not too far from where you live called the Drake Bay. I've walked around there. Is this concept that you introduced called the "explorer," is it a feature of Western civilization? Is Sir Francis Drake, or was Sir Francis Drake, an early example of this?HAGEL: You know, I wouldn't say Western civilization. I would say of humanity in general. I mean, again, I think that one of the things that I continually hear from people is fear is what helped us stay alive and made us human. And my response to that is, well, if we were completely driven by fear, we would still be living in the jungle, hiding from the tigers and the lions. What happened? We had a desire to explore and to see new things and to try new things. And it led to the emergence of agriculture civilizations around the world. And it was a process of exploration, but it really motivated a number of people so that they would move out and make progress. And I think we're just still exploring.KEEN: I mentioned, John, you talked about DLD in 2016. I know you're a big fan of the event, Europe's top innovation—I wouldn't call it a summit, it's a gathering of influencers like yourself. Over this last 20 years, the American economy has, for better or worse, marched ahead, and Europe has become increasingly stagnant. The German economy, the EU's economy, the United Kingdom's economy...In your view, is an important development over the last 20 years...has Europe—broadly, I know you can't talk about all individuals—but has Europe lost the inspiration of exploring that you're such a believer in?HAGEL: You know, I'm not sure I would generalize about Europe as a region in that regard. I think there are interesting parts of Europe that are doing some very interesting and innovative things. And so I think the challenge is that, again, we live in a world, a global economy, where competition is intensifying on a global scale. And Europe in general has failed to really respond effectively to that and maintain ways of of creating more and more value in that kind of world. So again, I'm an optimist, and I'm hopeful that people will see that potential. But right now, what I'm seeing in Europe and the rest of the world is the emotion of fear holding people back and saying, no, no, let's just hold on to what we have and find ways to make it through. And unfortunately, I think that's the wrong the wrong response.KEEN: I know it's easy to return to 2005, and it's impossible in practice. But had you gone back to John Hagel in 2005, do you think you'd be surprised by the power of the American innovation economy and the relative weakness of the European one?HAGEL: That's a good question. I'm not sure. I wasn't really forecasting particular geographies as areas that would grow and areas that wouldn't grow. I did see, again, an expanding global economy wherein there is increasing competition from other parts of the world, non-European, non-U.S., and so the challenge was how do we respond to that? And that's the issue that we're facing.KEEN: That's the issue indeed, we are facing, John. You and I are talking in November of 2024 in anticipation of the DLD 20-year anniversary of their event in January 2025. Where are we in late 2024 in the world? How would you summarize our situation?HAGEL: Well, again, I think it's a paradox. I think at one level, the situation is very unfortunate in the sense that the emotion of fear is dominating every country in the world. I don't see any countries where it's really the excitement and passion that's driving people. But on the other side, I also see the technology and trends in the world are creating more and more opportunity to to create value at exponential levels. And so I'm, again, an optimist and I'm hopeful that we can find ways to move beyond the fear and see the opportunities and pursue them and create the value that's there to be created.KEEN: I didn't see that fear, certainly in Silicon Valley, John, with the billions of dollars now going into the AI economy, to the booming biotech sector and the other technology sectors that you've talked about. Is there fear, in Silicon Valley, do you see it?HAGEL: Well, again, I think Silicon Valley stands out because many, if not all, the entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley were drawn here by passion and excitement to create more and more value. And yes, they have fear. If you talk to them, they're afraid the startup could collapse next month. Their customers could go away. But they're driven by that excitement of having that kind of impact. And I think that's what explains the continued success of Silicon Valley. But it stands out as one of those few areas where passion, and specifically, again, the passion of the explorer—and I haven't gone into detailed definition of what I mean by that, but it's based on research—that passion of the explorer that will help people to move beyond the fear and achieve impact that's much more meaningful to them.KEEN: John if we'd been talking in 2005, I don't suppose you, or most analysts of the Future of the Edge, whatever you want to describe it, would have brought up AI as being central. Today, of course, it's all anyone talks about in late 2024, early 2025. If you put your futurist on, and you've mentioned biotech...there are other technologies which have the potential to take off, quantum, for example. What technology do you think is most underrated in terms of imagining the next 20 years?HAGEL: Well, again, I would probably go to biotech as the area that is not getting as much attention as it should, because I believe it has the potential. There is an expression in Silicon Valley, "the longevity escape velocity." It's this notion that with this technology, we will be able, ultimately, to basically live forever. We won't have to worry about dying. And not just living forever, but being healthy and more vibrant and flourishing more than we've ever flourished in the past. And I think that's being underestimated as a potential driver of significant change in our lives and in our society.KEEN: Some people will hear that, John, and be very fearful of that. And lots of novels and stories and music have been made suggesting that if we live forever, life will become a nightmare. We'll be bored by everything and everyone. Should we, in any way, be fearful of that world you're describing?HAGEL: And again, you know, sure, if we're going to live our lives in fear for an eternity, yes, we should be afraid of living our lives in fear. But I believe as human beings, we all have within us the potential for that passion that I described, the passion of the explorer, which is never ending. No matter how much impact you achieve, if you're pursuing that passion, you're driven to have even more impact. What can I do to have even more impact? And excited about it and fulfilled by it. This is nourishing. I think people who have this passion will want to live forever. They will be excited to live forever. And we all have the potential to find that passion within us. By the way, I would just say we I get a lot of pushback. Yes, John, come on. Some of us are capable of this passion, but most of us just want to be told what to do and have the security of an income. My response is, let's go to a playground and look at children 5 or 6 years old. Show me one that doesn't have that kind of excitement about exploring and coming together and trying new things, seeing the things. We all had it as children. What happened to us? We went to school and we were taught by the teacher, "Just listen to the teacher. Memorize what the teacher has to say and show on the exam. So you've memorized it." I've studied the US public school system. It was explicitly designed to prepare us for work environments where the key was just to read the manual, follow the manual, do what's assigned. Passion is suspect, passionate people ask too many questions. Passionate people deviate from the script, they take too many risks. Why would you want passionate people? Just get people who will do their job. And so I think, back to your question about AI, again, I think there is obviously a lot of fear about AI. And one of the reasons for the fear is when I talk to executives, senior executives, about AI, I get two questions. First, how quickly can I automate with AI? And secondly, how many jobs can I eliminate with AI? It's all about scalable efficiency, faster and cheaper. I believe the role of AI is to help us become human again. To take away all of that work, the routine tasks, highly standardized, routine tasks that most of us do on a daily basis, and free us up to actually explore and find ways to create new value and have impact that's meaningful to us. That's exciting.KEEN: If you're right, John, if the next 20 years are ones where there is a profound biotech revolution—and we may not live forever, but certainly will live longer and longer lives—what do we need to address? Seems to me as if one area would be inequality, given that already in America, the difference between how long people live in on the coasts, in California or New York, are quite different from the hinterland. Does this concern you, if indeed you're right? What are the the biggest threats and challenges in a world where longevity is the central reality?HAGEL: Now, again, you talk about threats and challenges. I would talk about opportunities. The opportunities are to help everyone achieve more, to help them all find their passion, help them all find ways to earn income from their passion and achieve more impact that's meaningful to them and to others. And yes, there are issues like inequality, climate change, all the rest, limited resources in the world. But I believe with technology and innovation, we can overcome all those obstacles and achieve amazing results for everyone.KEEN: Finally, John, you're naturally an optimist. So, for me to ask you to put on your rose-tinted glasses might be slightly inappropriate, but if you were to think most positively about the future, in 20 years' time in 2045, if DLD celebrates its 40th anniversary, what kind of world could this be? Imagine the best kind of world. Would it be like a giant kindergarten? Like people are running around and excited all the time before the teachers got their hands on it?HAGEL: You know, my belief is that if we can really unleash this passion and excitement about driving change and creating more value, that we can create a world where every living thing flourishes. Not just human beings, not just animals, plants, every living being flourishing in ways that would have been unimaginable 20 years earlier, because we're all creating an environment that helps us to flourish. And to me, that's what's really the potential and exciting.KEEN: Do you think the next 20 years will bring more change than the previous 20 years?HAGEL: It's going to bring a lot of change. I suspect it's going to be even more change, because we're talking about exponential change and change exponentially increases over time.KEEN: Well, John Hagel, who spoke at DLD in 2016, a great friend of the conference, a real honor, John, and a pleasure. And I hope we will meet again in 2045 to see whether or not you were right. Thank you so much.HAGEL: Excellent. Thank you. This is a public episode.

David Salomoni"Leonesse"Le guerriere del RinascimentoLaterza Editoriwww.laterza.itC'è stato un tempo di donne in grado di guidare eserciti e di condurli in battaglia. Un tempo in cui, dall'alto delle mura di città circondate dai nemici, erano voci femminili a dare ordini e incitare gli uomini. Era il tempo delle leonesse, le donne cavaliere del Rinascimento.Chi l'ha detto che le donne del Rinascimento erano destinate unicamente a indossare splendidi abiti come Monna Lisa? O a passare la vita tra seduzione, inganni e trame come Lucrezia Borgia? In realtà in Italia è esistita una tradizione importante di donne dedite all'arte della guerra: feudatarie, capitane di ventura, donne cavaliere e anche popolane. Se Matilde di Canossa è la prima, e forse la più conosciuta, altre sono state all'epoca capaci di suscitare sconcerto e terrore per l'audacia delle proprie imprese: da Caterina Sforza a Cia Ordelaffi, da Orsina Visconti a Bona Lombardi – la Giovanna d'Arco italiana. Donne al comando di eserciti in difesa dei propri castelli, è il caso di Donella Rossi, e battaglioni interamente femminili, come quelli che combatterono a protezione di Siena e della sua indipendenza durante l'assedio dei fiorentini nel 1555.caQuello che emerge da queste storie avventurose e che oggi appaiono quasi leggendarie, è un tema trascurato dagli storici: quello di una vera e propria educazione militare impartita alle donne dai padri e più spesso dalle madri o dalle nonne, che hanno dato vita a una via femminile alla guerra.Per secoli è stato facile idealizzare queste donne combattenti, imbalsamandole nel ruolo di figure eccezionali e irripetibili, quasi letterarie, addomesticandone la portata rivoluzionaria. Oggi, finalmente, possiamo provare a restituire a queste donne la loro verità di soggetti attivi, anche nella violenza estrema della guerra.David Salomoni è docente presso l'Università per Stranieri di Siena. Ha lavorato nel Dipartimento di Storia e Filosofia della scienza dell'Università di Lisbona nell'ambito del progetto ERC Rutter: Making the Earth Global e nel 2022 è stato Berenson Fellow presso l'Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies a Villa I Tatti.Tra le sue più recenti pubblicazioni, Scuola, maestri e scolari nelle comunità degli stati gonzagheschi e estensi (Anicia 2017) e Educating the Catholic People: Religious Orders and Their Schools in Early Modern Italy (1500-1800) (Brill 2021).

In July 1588 the Spanish Armada set sail to conquer England. Three weeks later a fierce naval battle foiled the planned invasion. Many myths surround these events. The "genius" of Sir Francis Drake is exalted, while Spain's efforts are belittled. But what really happened during that fateful encounter?Professor Suzannah Lipscomb gets the fullest possible account from Professor Geoffrey Parker who co-wrote the definitive and authoritative history of the Spanish Armada in 1988. A new, much-expanded edition, titled Armada: The Spanish Enterprise and England's Deliverance in 1588, was published in 2023.Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

La Contra Armada Inglesa de 1589 fue una expedición militar lanzada por Inglaterra contra España tras la derrota de la Armada Invencible en 1588. Liderada por Francis Drake y John Norreys, su objetivo era atacar puertos españoles, debilitar el poder naval de España y liberar Portugal del dominio español. Sin embargo, la expedición fue un fracaso, con enormes pérdidas humanas y materiales. La resistencia española, las enfermedades y las malas condiciones hicieron que la operación no alcanzara sus objetivos, consolidando a España como potencia europea y debilitando a Inglaterra en el proceso.

¡VIRREINATO EN GUERRA! El apuro y la necesidad obligan al rey Felipe II a colocar lo más inmediatamente posible a Fernando Torres y Portugal como virrey del Perú. ¿Cuál era la emergencia? La construcción de la Grande y Felicísima Armada o Gran Armada, más conocida como la ARMADA INVENCIBLE y costear los gastos de la Guerra de Flandes. De ese modo, la consigna era mejorar la recolección de la Hacienda pública, tarea encargada para realizar lo más pronto posible. A pesar de los esfuerzos y los primeros éxitos en la recolección de plata, la guerra contra Inglaterra generará una serie de desaciertos militares y amenazas terribles como las incursiones piratas de Francis Drake. Así, mientras la ARMADA ESPAÑOLA sufre terribles penalidades, el virreinato peruano vive una de sus peores tragedias en múltiples niveles (desde terremotos, pasando por agotamiento de recursos económicos hasta epidemias). Si bien España no perdió sus bríos con todo lo ocurrió en este tiempo, sí fueron opacados. Acompáñanos a conocer un poco de nuestra historia (poco conocida en más de una ocasión).

Amaro Pargo fue un corsario canario del s. XVIII que combinó su audacia en el mar con una profunda religiosidad. A diferencia del resto de piratas, Pargo actuaba bajo el permiso y la protección de la corona española, saqueando barcos y acumulando grandes fortunas para el reino. Pero también es recordado por sus obras de caridad y su devoción religiosa. Una figura que guarda tras de sí misterios, tesoros escondidos y aventuras en altamar.

Desde el siglo dieciséis, «en Cartagena de Indias pasaba de todo: sitios a la ciudad, asaltos de piratas, tráfico de esclavos, inquisición, hoguera.... Era el lugar perfecto para corresponsales de guerra.». Así comienza el capítulo titulado «Historias de piratas» del escritor Daniel Samper Pizano en su divertido libro Lecciones de histeria de Colombia. «Uno de los primeros ataques depredadores que sufrió la ciudad fue el del inglés Francis Drake en 1586. Durante más de un mes Cartagena se defendió como pudo, pero al fin triunfó el pirata y entró a saco en ella. Drake mató gente, quemó casas, se llevó las campanas de la iglesia, secuestró a decenas de esclavos, robó ochenta cañones, hurtó joyas valiosas... y 400 mil pesos en oro, y pidió rescate por algunos objetos públicos. Le pagaron todo lo que pidió y, fuera de eso, se molestó cuando supo que lo consideraban un corsario. ¿Acaso qué se creía: doctor en comercio internacional?», se pregunta el periodista colombiano con su típico tinte humorístico.... «Otro inglés que encontró divertido asolar los puertos españoles en el Caribe fue Henry Morgan, inventor del buque-bomba. Este aporte al terror marino consistía en una embarcación cargada de prisioneros y pólvora que apuntaban hacia el enemigo y estallaba al acercarse a él.... Uno de sus principales pasatiempos era crucificar a sus víctimas y, una vez en la cruz, asarlas con antorcha. [Otras veces] se limitaba a colocarles encima piedras de un cuarto de tonelada y lanzarles hojas de palma encendidas.... »Lo que más ofende en la manía de los piratas contra Cartagena no son los ataques en sí, aunque ellos provocaron hambre, mortandad y desesperanza en la ciudad, sino que los criminales fueran premiados por sus gobiernos y considerados ciudadanos ejemplares. A Drake la reina en persona lo hizo caballero, y sus contemporáneos lo consideraban uno de los grandes hombres de su época. Morgan también fue ordenado caballero y Teniente Gobernador de Jamaica. Después se extrañan del auge del terrorismo internacional...»1 ¡Qué observación tan relevante la de Samper Pizano! Los terroristas actuales, al igual que los piratas de antaño, torturan y martirizan a quienes consideran enemigos suyos. Y sin embargo sus superiores los recompensan por su conducta despiadada, y muchos de ellos creen que a todos los recompensará también el dios implacable a quien se imaginan y sirven. A eso se refería Jesucristo, el Hijo del único Dios verdadero, cuando dijo que, a diferencia de aquéllos, no debemos odiar sino amar a nuestros enemigos.2 Por eso San Pablo, como apóstol de Jesucristo, nos exhorta a vivir en paz con todos y a vencer el mal con el bien, tal como nos enseña el proverbio del sabio Salomón: «Si tu enemigo tiene hambre, dale de comer; si tiene sed, dale de beber. Actuando así, harás que se avergüence de su conducta, y el Señor te lo recompensará.»3 ¿Acaso no debiéramos buscar más bien esa recompensa de nuestro Dios compasivo?

Story of Francis Drake/

As Elizabethan England's most famous sea captain, Francis Drake saw his fair share of sea-faring adventures – from scuffles with the Spanish Armada, to circumnavigating the globe. But his story also contains darker elements – including slave-trading, looting and the execution of his right-hand man. Speaking to Ellie Cawthorne in our latest 'life of the week' episode, historian Robert Hutchison revisits Drake's dramatic life, and re-examines his contentious legacy.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! La historia de la Armada Invencible es una de las más fascinantes y estudiadas de la historia naval. En el año 1588, el rey Felipe II de España organizó una de las flotas más grandes y poderosas de su tiempo para invadir Inglaterra. Esta flota, conocida como la Grande y Felicísima Armada, tenía como objetivo destronar a Isabel I y poner fin al apoyo inglés a los rebeldes protestantes en los Países Bajos, que estaban en guerra contra España. La Armada Invencible era una fuerza formidable, compuesta por 130 buques y más de 30,000 hombres, incluyendo marineros y soldados. El mando fue confiado al duque de Medina Sidonia, un aristócrata andaluz de prestigio. La estrategia era reunirse con las fuerzas terrestres en Flandes y, desde allí, lanzar la invasión a Inglaterra. Sin embargo, la campaña no salió como se esperaba. A pesar de la superioridad numérica y la preparación meticulosa, la Armada se enfrentó a una serie de desafíos inesperados. Los ingleses, bajo el mando de Francis Drake y otros comandantes hábiles, utilizaron tácticas innovadoras y barcos más ágiles para hostigar a la flota española. Además, un temporal devastador dispersó a los barcos españoles, forzándolos a una peligrosa travesía alrededor de las islas británicas para regresar a España. El resultado de la expedición fue una derrota para España, con la pérdida de muchos barcos y vidas. Sin embargo, la Armada Invencible dejó un legado duradero. La campaña demostró la importancia de la innovación táctica y la adaptabilidad en la guerra naval. También resaltó la valentía y la resistencia de los marineros y soldados que enfrentaron condiciones extremas con determinación. La Armada Invencible es un testimonio de la complejidad de la guerra en el mar y de la interacción entre la estrategia militar, la política y la naturaleza. A pesar de su fracaso, la expedición de 1588 sigue siendo un símbolo de la ambición y el poderío militar de la España del siglo XVI, y continúa inspirando estudios y obras de ficción hasta el día de hoy. Para aquellos interesados en profundizar en la historia de la Armada Invencible, pueden encontrar información detallada y análisis en la página de Wikipedia, así como en artículos especializados que exploran las causas, el desarrollo y las consecuencias de esta empresa fallida.

[20240322] Crónicas de San Borondón Continúa siendo la tragedia área de mayor magnitud de la aviación civil, y de su investigación se obtuvieron resultados que, más allá de reconstruir y clarificar lo ocurrido, contribuyeron a mejorar los sistemas de seguridad área en todo el mundo. Hacia las 5 de la tarde de aquel fatídico domingo de 27 de marzo de 1977, dos jumbos 747 de las compañías Pan Am (EEUU) y KLM (Holanda) chocaron en la pista de Los Rodeos cobrándose la vida de 583 personas, entre pasajeros y tripulación. Fue el desenlace de una cadena de acontecimientos que incluyó, entre otros factores, la saturación del aeropuerto tinerfeño como producto de un aviso de bomba en Gran Canaria, la masiva acumulación de niebla en la pista, interferencias técnicas y errores de interpretación en las comunicaciones, el exceso de combustible en el 747 holandés, así como la excesiva presión padecida por las tripulaciones por cumplir con los horarios. Todo ello condujo a una tragedia de la que el próximo miércoles se cumplen 47 años, un episodio que también cuenta con una lectura misteriosa al generarse en torno a ella un número significativo de leyendas. De todo ello conversará José Gregorio González en CSB con Alfonso Ferrer, investigador que ha profundizado con rigor en las múltiples facetas de este episodio. El espacio también incluirá entre sus contenidos un repaso a la figura del poeta y dramaturgo Bartolomé Cairasco de Figueroa, nacido en Gran Canaria, de madre indígena y padre con linaje italiano. Formado en el mundo eclesiástico, termina asumiendo importantes responsabilidades en la catedral grancanaria, participando de la defensa y de la diplomacia en acontecimientos clave de la ciudad como fueron los ataques de Francis Drake en 1595 y Pier Van der Doez en 1598. Además, fue impulsor de la primera tertulia de intelectuales en Canarias, en las que parlamentó con personajes tan relevantes en la historia de Canarias como el ingeniero genovés Leonardo Torriani o el médico e historiador Antonio de Viana. Junto al periodista Luis Bacallado, el programa analizará en su sección La Ventana Atlántica, la figura de Cairasco y la manera en la que leyó Canarias a través del prisma de los mitos grecolatinos. La computación cuántica con Miguel Ángel Cabral en su espacio Crónicas de Prometeo, el análisis de Juan Carlos Saavedra sobre las similitudes y diferencias entre las advocaciones marianas del Pino y Candelaria, y el caso de María García, la bruja de Teror, con el historiador Gustavo A. Trujillo completan el menú de este viernes

En mayo de 1588 una gigantesca flota compuesta por 154 barcos, la mayor que se había visto en las costas europeas en toda la historia, zarpó de Lisboa con dirección al mar del Norte. El plan encomendado a su comandante, Alonso Pérez de Guzmán, duque de Medina Sidonia, era navegar hasta la costa flamenca y allí proteger el cruce del canal de cientos de barcazas con infantería tomada de los tercios de Flandes. Una vez en Inglaterra las tropas, capitaneadas por Alejandro Farnesio, desembarcarían, tomarían Londres y depondrían a la reina Isabel I que sólo un año antes había ordenado ejecutar a María Estuardo. Con esa operación Felipe II pretendía conseguir tres objetivos. El primero suprimir el principal apoyo que tenían los rebeldes holandeses, el segundo poner fin a las incursiones de corsarios ingleses en América y el tercero reimplantar el catolicismo en Inglaterra. La armada española se encontró con resistencia a la entrada del canal, frente al puerto de Plymouth. Allí les esperaba el almirante Howard con otra flota aún mayor y formada por navíos más pequeños, rápidos y maniobrables que los galeones españoles. Medina Sidonia carecía de experiencia naval y desoyó los consejos de sus capitanes, que le sugirieron dirigirse a la isla de Wight y apoderarse de ella. Eso hubiera puesto en jaque dos de los principales puertos ingleses: el de Portsmouth y el de Southampton que se encuentran cerca de esta isla. Pero Pérez de Guzmán no quiso arriesgar y siguió las órdenes que le habían enviado desde Madrid. La armada llegó a Calais prácticamente intacta, pero fue atacada por los ingleses con brulotes durante la noche. Eso provocó que los barcos españoles se dispersasen facilitando el trabajo a Howard. Los ingleses, colocados a barlovento y con sus puntos de avituallamiento muy cercanos, se lanzaron sobre la armada que a punto estuvo de encallar en las costas flamencas. Cambió entonces el viento y eso les permitió huir de aquel caldero internándose en el mar del Norte. Howard comenzó entonces una persecución de los navíos españoles, obligados a circunnavegar el archipiélago británico en una penosa singladura marcada por los temporales en la que se perdieron muchos de sus barcos, un total de 24 que encallaron en Escocia e Irlanda. El resto consiguieron regresar a España con sus tripulaciones en un lamentable estado. La denominada Grande y Felicísima Armada no había logrado ninguno de sus propósitos. Felipe II encajó la derrota de mala manera asegurando a sus íntimos que había enviado a sus barcos a luchar contra los hombres, no contra los elementos. En Inglaterra la victoria reafirmó a Isabel I en el trono y la empujó a devolver el golpe un año más tarde con la llamada contra armada británica que la reina encargó a Francis Drake. La contra armada pretendía dar la puntilla a la maltrecha flota española en los puertos cantábricos, tomar las islas Azores y arrebatar Portugal a Felipe II colocando en el trono a Antonio de Avis, prior de Crato, que se encontraba exiliado en Inglaterra. Pero fracasaron en su intento sin conseguir nada de lo que se habían propuesto. En los años siguientes Felipe II consiguió reconstruir buena parte del poderío naval español, pero esa derrota quedó grabada en el imaginario colectivo inglés, que rebautizó a la armada española como armada invencible. Su gesta la comparaban con la de David contra Goliat, se acuñaron medallas conmemorativas y el inesperado éxito inglés animó a los protestantes de toda Europa. Inglaterra iniciaba de este modo su ascenso como potencia naval, pilar fundamental sobre el que edificaría su imperio un siglo más tarde.

El 28 de enero de 1596 falleció Francis Drake, corsario, explorador, comerciante de esclavos, político y vicealmirante inglés.

In the summer of 1579, Francis Drake had to land in a ‘fair and good bay' on the western coast of the New World when his ship - The Golden Hind - needed repairs. A sign was put up, naming it Nova Albion (‘New England') for Queen Elizabeth I. But the question of exactly where Drake landed has continued to vex historians to this day.In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Melissa Darby, whose meticulous and painstaking work has uncovered all manner of evidence to finally resolve the controversy.This episode was edited by Joseph Knight and produced by Rob Weinberg.Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free original podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world renowned historians like Dan Snow, James Holland, Mary Beard and more.Don't miss out on the best offer in history!

La armada invencible enviada por Felipe II de España en 1588 para invadir Inglaterra junto con un ejército español de Flandes. Felipe estaba motivado por el deseo de restaurar la fe católica romana en Inglaterra y por la piratería inglesa contra el comercio y las posesiones españolas. La Armada, comandada por el duque de Medina-Sidonia, constaba de unos 130 navíos. En la batalla de una semana, los españoles sufrieron la derrota después de que los ingleses lanzaran barcos de fuego contra la flota española, rompiendo la formación de los barcos y haciéndolos susceptibles a las armas pesadas de los barcos ingleses. Muchos barcos españoles también se perdieron durante el largo viaje a casa, y un total de quizás 15.000 españoles murieron. La derrota de la Armada, en la que Francis Drake desempeñó un papel principal, salvó a Inglaterra y los Países Bajos de una posible absorción por el imperio español.

This is a fun one, especially for fans of Sir Francis Drake! Longstanding and attentive listeners will remember Melissa Darby as the author of the 2019 book, Thunder Go North: The Hunt for Sir Francis Drake's Fair & Good Bay, which was the primary source for our episode “Novo Albion and Drake's Legacy,” which goes back to early December, 2021.  It wouldn't hurt to listen or (re)listen to that episode before this one, but I don't think it is essential.  Another way might be to go back and listen to it after you have heard this interview.  In the interview Melissa and I talk about the documents discovered by two women scholars, Zelia Nuttell and Eva Taylor, around a century ago, that upended the evidence for Francis Drake having claimed Novo Albion in the area of San Francisco; the ethnographic and linguistic evidence in support of the Golden Hind landing on the coast of Oregon or Washington instead of California; the plot by a famous University of California historian to manufacture Drake's "plate of brass" to refute Nuttell's claims and obstruct the publication of her paper; the remarkable point that the crew of the Golden Hind spent between five and ten weeks on the Northwest coast, interacting with Indians routinely, without ever having fought with them; and Drake's legacy more generally.  Twitter: @TheHistoryOfTh2 Books referred to in this episode Melissa Darby, Thunder Go North: The Hunt for Sir Francis Drake's Fair & Good Bay Samuel Bawlf, The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake: 1577-1580

In October 1569, a captain of a French ship off the northern coast of Nova Scotia was summoned on deck. Alongside was a canoe, and in it were three Englishmen–David Ingram, Richard Browne, and Richard Twide. They claimed to be the survivors of a group of 100 men marooned on the Gulf coast of Mexico by an English slave-trading expedition. From that point, the three of them had walked north for 3,600 miles, making the journey in about a year. Thirteen years later, in August 1582, David Ingram was interviewed and his answers recorded by none other than Sir Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth I's secretary of state and chief of intelligence. Shortly after the publication of his testimony, and ever after, Ingram has been regarded as one of the great liars of his era. He described such impossibilities as large cities, kings carried about in crystal chairs, American natives working with and using iron, and the appearance of penguins and elephants along the eastern seaboard of North America.  Add to that the claim of his extraordinary journey, and little wonder that Samuel Purchas in 1625 observed of his account that “the reward of lying is not to be believed in truths.” But Dean Snow, who once believed like most people that Ingram was at best given to tall tales, has changed his mind about Ingram's journey. In his new book The Extraordinary Journey of David Ingram: An Elizabethan Sailor in Native North America, Snow reconsiders the evidence and recreates the context of Ingram and his journey through an America that just fifty years after his long walk had faded away. Dean Snow is Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at Penn State. A past President of the Society for American Archaeology, he is particularly known for his work on archaeology of native North America with a long-standing focus on the Haudenosaunee (or Iroquois) people. For Further Investigation If you haven't already, get a great overview of David Ingram's era in Episode 303 when Lucy Wooding described some of the characteristics of Tudor England; and while we didn't talk about him in the conversation, Dean Snow has a lot to say about Thomas Harriot. If you listen to Episode 109, you can find out why Thomas Harriot is one of the most fascinating intellectuals that you have never heard of. When Dean Snow referred to Francis Drake escaping from the Battle of San Juan de Ulua in small ship, he was not getting. Drake's Judith was just 5o tons. By way of comparison the Pride of Baltimore II, a modern reconstruction of a early 19th century Baltimore sailing ship, is 97 tons. And that doesn't mean it's a particularly big ship... The Susquehannock town that Ingram visited was probably the "Schultz site"; you can find out more about the Susquehannocks' culture and landscape here. There are apparently a lot of crystal mines in upstate New York, enough for a great vacation.

Había una vez en una de las más bellas ciudades del planeta llamada Cartagena de Indias, por allá en en siglo XVI una iglesia que se había erigido en honor a Santo Domingo por la orden religiosa de los dominicos, en lo que antes se conocía como la plazuela de la Yerba. La iglesia construida en madera y paja entre 1534 y 1539 era la primera iglesia de la ciudad recién fundada. La primitiva iglesia servía de culto a los pocos habitantes de la Cartagena de Indias, pero extraños acontecimientos comenzaron a suceder  y lo que era la iglesia sufrió de un incendio que la destruyo. Durante años los habitantes recogieron los recursos necesarios para reconstruir la iglesia en lo que hoy se conoce como la plaza de santo domingo.  La iglesia comenzó a ser construida en piedra en el año 1579 y se planeó con dos magnificas torres igualmente de piedra.  Dice la leyenda que después de ser terminada el diablo comenzó a sentir envidia de aquella altas torres que se alzaban majestuosas como un tributo a Dios y que una noche lluviosa se sintió un gran remesón en la iglesia, los dominicos que vivían en el claustro adjunto a la iglesia se asomaron y vieron una enorme figura oscura que se había había aferrado a una de las torres y con gran poder intentaba derribarla. Los dominicos comenzaron a orar y pedirle a Dios que protegiera su iglesia y no permitiera que ese demonio derribara la torre.  Después de varias horas de lucha entre las oraciones de los religiosos y el poder del maligno, este solamente alcanzo a girar un poco la torre en su eje y por esto hasta el día de hoy la torre se ve levemente girada si se le compara con la fachada principal.  Frustrado y derrotado por las oraciones de los monjes dominicos, el demonio salto de la torre hacia el pozo de agua que hay en la plaza y allí se internó entre las aguas de aquella fuente de agua tan necesaria para los habitantes del pueblo.  Inmediatamente, el agua que antes era clara y limpia se tornó nauseabunda y de el pozo comenzó a salir un olor a azufre que hasta el día de hoy se conserva.  Se dice que la iglesia quedo muy averiada por el intento del demonio de tumbar las torres y que después de aquella noche, los dominicos se dieron cuenta que una de las paredes que daba a la calle se había deteriorado y amenazaba con caerse. De urgencia llamaron a los arquitectos de la época que siguiendo los cánones de la época optaron por construir los pilares laterales que todavía tiene la pared y que los cartageneros llamaron estribos. La calle aledaña a la pared se llamaba anteriormente la calle de nuestra señora de la luz, pero cuenta la leyenda que un par de señoras en una noche oscura mientras recorrían la calle oyeron una voz misteriosa que les decía que la calle debía llamarse callejón de los estribos. Las señoras corrieron y contaron asustadas lo que oyeron y siendo Cartagena un aún un pueblo pequeño todo el mundo se enteró y todos comenzaron a llamar la calle como callejon de los estribos, nombre que hasta el día de hoy conserva.  Pero allí no terminan las penurias de la iglesia, Años después del incidente con el demonio, otro demonio llego a asolar a Cartagena. En el año 1586 El pirata Francis Drake llego a las costas cartageneras dispuesto a saquear la rica ciudad que almacenaba gran parte del oro extraído de las tierras americanas. La batalla de Cartagena por parte de Drake tuvo como consecuencia que múltiples cañonazos golpearon la hasta el momento más alta estructura de la ciudad. La torre que no había sido afectada por el demonio cayo como efecto del cañoneo constante y la pared que la sostenía resistió gracias a los estribos que le habían puesto anteriormente.  Por esta razón, la iglesia de santo domingo no tiene sino una sola torre y la que tiene esta girada levemente.  La i

Does life exist beyond the confines of our planet?  In 1950, Enrico Fermi conducted a thought experiment where he estimated the number of habitable planets in our galaxy and concluded that the galaxy should be teaming with life.  However, no sign of life had been observed despite our search for it.   This became known as the Fermi Paradox.  In this episode we discuss possible solutions to the Fermi Paradox as the first of several steps on our journey to search for new life in the universe and the possible avenues humanity may be able to transverse as we seek it out. Support the show

In this "throwback episode" we look back at episode #96. In the 1930's a famous California history professor thought he had discovered a long lost historical treasure. It was a brass plate apparently inscribed by the famous English adventurer Sir. Francis Drake. The plate was heralded as an amazing discovery, but it was actually an elaborate hoax orchestrated by an irreverent secret society. The group behind the hoax is known as E Clampus Vitus and it may be America's weirdest secret society. Tune in a find out how tin-can medallions, “widders”, and a Grand Noble Humbug all play a role in the story.

Sir Francis Drake was one of the many Buccaneers that roamed the shores of North America on behalf of Queen Elizabeth I in the late 1570s. He was an English explorer, sea captain, privateer, slave trader, Elizabethan naval officer, and politician. He is best known for his circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition, from 1577-80. This included his incursion into the Pacific Ocean, until then an area of exclusive Spanish interest, and his claim to Nova or New Albion for England, an area in what is now the U.S. state of California.

It is 1614. John Smith of Jamestown fame is now looking for a new gig, and he sets his gimlet eye on the northeast coast of North America. He travels the coast in a small boat, and by 1616 has produced a tract called "A Description of New England" with an accompanying map. He gives New England its name, and makes the case for the English settlement of the region. He would not get his gig, but his writing and fund-raising campaign would change the course of history. Along the way we notice that Smith has something quite important to say about Francis Drake. And we enthusiastically recommend Jacob Mchangama's new book, Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media.
