Salve avventurieri, continua il viaggio nei nostri custodes nel magico mondo di Lex Arcana, edito da @acheronbooksandgames Dopo essere sopravvissuti ai pericoli della biblioteca, i custodes partono alla ricerca del tombarolo Muluk attraverso il vasto delta del Nilo, scoprendo a poco a poco quanto il controllo di Roma sia flebile e debole in queste terre.Fra veleni ed oscuri segreti, continua "Il Cerchio degli Usurpati"Speriamo vi possa piacere, consigliateci altri GDR che vi potrebbero interessare!Potete trovare i video di #IntavernadaKurt su:●Twitch●Youtube●Facebook●Telegram●Discord

I custodes salpano in una calda mattinata di primavera, a bordo dell'enorme nave granaria, in direzione della grande città del Re conquistatore, la città più evoluta e cosmopolita al mondo seconda solo a parte Roma. Vi è sempre bisogno di custodes in Egitto, terra ricca di misteri ma mai completamente doma, vecchia quanto il mondo stesso e crudele come i coccodrilli che popolano il suo enorme fiume. Indagando, i nostri eroi troveranno le tracce di un complotto millenario, un potere tanto potente da poter mettere in ginocchio lo stesso Impero.

The German Democratic Republic has come to stand as a symbol of communist tyranny, a source of Cold War nostalgia and socialist kitsch, and a failed alternative to the worst excesses of 21st century capitalism. In this book, Ned Richardson-Little delves into the central contradictions of the GDR state: This book illustrates the fault lines of GDR society, the worldviews and experiences of not only those who ruled the GDR, but also those who rebelled against the strictures of state socialism, and those in between who sought a normal life under dictatorship. The German Democratic Republic: The Rise and Fall of a Cold War State (Bloomsbury, 2025) is a succinct and comprehensive history of East Germany that traces its story from the country's origins as the Soviet Zone of Occupation after World War II through key events such as the 1953 Uprising, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Helsinki Accords, and the collapse of state socialism in 1989. Some of the themes explored include the memory of Nazism and national identity, everyday life under dictatorship, including consumerism, sexuality, and racism, the global politics of the GDR, the diversity of dissenting voices, and the competing visions for East Germany's democratic future. Guest: Ned Richardson-Little (he/him) is a Research Fellow in Department V: Globalizations in a Divided World at the Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History Potsdam (ZZF), in Germany. He is a historian of modern Germany, with a focus on the GDR, socialism, far-right extremism, and the history of international law and international crime. He is the author of The Human Rights Dictatorship: Socialism, Global Solidarity and Revolution in East Germany (2020), and co-editor of Socialism and International Law (2024). Host: Jenna Pittman (she/her), a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Duke University. She studies modern European history, political economy, and Germany from 1945-1990.

In dieser Radioreise nimmt Sie Alexander Tauscher mit auf eine deutsche Geschichtsreise. Erleben Sie ein Jahrhundert an zwei historischen Orten. Wir fokussieren uns auf die zwei Diktaturen des 20. Jahrhunderts, ohne sie gleichzusetzen und ohne irgendetwas zu relativieren. Das dunkelste Kapitel deutscher Geschichte ist eng mit einer der schönsten Landschaften Deutschlands verknüpft. In der Dokumentation Obersalzberg erfahren wir die Geschichte des Berges vom einstigen Bauerndorf zum so genannten Führerhauptquartier. Adolf Hitler und seine SS-Schergen trafen vor der Kulisse dieser idyllischen Landschaft brutale Entscheidungen. Das erzählt erzählt uns Bildungsreferentin Nadine Tauchner beim Rundgang durch das Dokumentationszentrum. Dann wechseln wir den Ort und auch das Geschichtskapitel. Im DDR-Museum am Spreeufer in Berlin-Mitte erleben wir den sozialistischen Alltag im einstigen so genannten Arbeiter- und Bauernstaat. Gordon Freiherr von Godin, Museumsleiter, führt uns in verschiedene Bereiche des Lebens. Wir sitzen im Trabbi und in einem typischen Wohnzimmer im Plattenbau. Wir sehen Haushalts- und Unterhaltungstechnik made in GDR und lächeln über die Form von Turnhosen jener Zeit. Aber natürlich widmet sich das Museum auch den gesellschaftlichen Zwängen und den Methoden der Überwachung durch die Staatssicherheit. Wir nehmen Platz in einem Sessel einer SED-Politoffiziellen. Diese Sendung erhebt natürlich keinen Anspruch auf vollständige Geschichtsgliederung. Wir wollen damit einfach Reiselust erzeugen - für einen Urlaub im Bergerlebnis Berchtesgaden oder einen visit Berlin. Gute Unterhaltung auf dem Weg von B nach B!

La nuova campagna di Remote ci riporterà nel mondo delle Alternative Intelligences con un prequel in cui vivremo il passato di Control, Silence e l'Eremita, che abbiamo conosciuto come PNG nella precedente campagna. In questa campagna cercheremo di esplorare il trauma che li ha portati a diventare i personaggi che abbiamo conosciuto.Per farlo useremo un nuovo gioco, chiamato Ceneri, testato negli ultimi mesi sul server Discord di Fumble e che forse avrete già ascoltato giocare in Role, uno degli altri podcast di Fumblecast.

Control, Silence e l'Eremita si risvegliano tra le Ceneri di un mondo scomparso in una purga catastrofica. Una serie di eventi, scaturiti dal battito di ali di una farfalla, hanno condotto ad una fine traumatica per quelli che una volta si facevano chiamare CTRL, The Voice e l'Eremita.Giocatori: Alessandro, Apple.j, UddinaNarratore: StefanoMontaggio: Stefano, AlessandroMusiche: Alexander NakaradaRemote è il podcast di Fumblecast nato dalla community per giocare di ruolo anche da remoto.Tutti i nostri contenuti sono gratuiti e disponibili pubblicamente, rilasciati sotto licenza Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0: puoi distribuirli, manipolarli, copiarli quanto vuoi, e se hai dubbi su quali siano i limiti entro cui farlo puoi scriverci su Discord, dove saremo felice di risponderti.Un'ultima cosa: Quello che noi mettiamo in scena non è scriptato e giochiamo live, così come ci viene.

Losten I, Imperatore di Azmeria sembra sedere sempre più comodo sul suo trono ed è giunto il momento di consolidare il potere con o contro l'aristocrazia militare che vorrebbe appropriarsi di una sua fetta consistenta. Sotto le ceneri della rivolta però, l'Occhio della Verità e le province esterne dell'Impero tramano per raggiungere un nuovo equilibrio che rischia di minacciare la sopravvivenza dell'intero Impero.Giocatori: Daniele, Stefano, Nonno Nerd, XenoNarratore: AlessandroMontaggio: Stefano, AlessandroMusiche: Alexander Nakarada, Kevin McLeodRemote è il podcast di Fumblecast nato dalla community per giocare di ruolo anche da remoto.Tutti i nostri contenuti sono gratuiti e disponibili pubblicamente, rilasciati sotto licenza Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0: puoi distribuirli, manipolarli, copiarli quanto vuoi, e se hai dubbi su quali siano i limiti entro cui farlo puoi scriverci su Discord, dove saremo felice di risponderti.Un'ultima cosa: Quello che noi mettiamo in scena non è scriptato e giochiamo live, così come ci viene.

This is the story of a Communist family in East Germany whose world was turned upside down by the implosion of the GDR. The story is told by Katja Hesse, whose father was a Vice Admiral in the Volksmarine, the East German Navy. We start the episode with Katja crossing into West Berlin on the night of 9th November 1989 and journey through the emotional landscape of certainties overturned by the opening of the Berlin Wall. Using her father's diaries Katja shares in detail her memories and reflections. From her father's shock upon learning she crossed into West Berlin, to the complexities of navigating a new reality in a reunified Germany. It's an intimate glimpse into the struggles of her family as she recounts the legacy of the GDR and the profound impact it had on her upbringing and identity.

Se non fosse stato per le vicissitudini dell'idiozia, che è sempre ben accetta e ricercata, il sottotitolo di questo episodio sarebbe stato "dolcezza", in riferimento al profondo senso di calore e affetto che Francesco racconta di aver provato nei giorni passati al centro estivo a tema gioco di ruolo di VIlla Lazzaroni a Roma. Questa puntata è qui perché ne aveva bisogno il suo conduttore ora che quella dolcezza e quella bellezza ha deciso di lasciarle andare.Questa puntata è dedicata a tutt3 l3 bambin3 e l3 ragazz3 del Centro Estivo a tema GDR di Roma, a coloro che l'hanno frequentato, che lo frequentano e che lo frequenteranno, a coloro che ci hanno lavorato, che ci lavorano e che ci lavoreranno. Grazie.E grazie Francesco di avermi accompagnato in questo non abbastanza lungo saluto
After the Second World War, in what was then East Germany, or the German Democratic Republic (GDR), tens of thousands of women and girls were forcibly detained and abused in sexual health clinics. In 1977, at the age of 15, Sabine was at a house party in Leipzig when police came for her. She was taken to a so-called ‘Tripperburgen' which translates to ‘gonorrhoea castle'. After 31 days she was told to leave. Research shows at least 10 of these wards existed in the GDR and 70% of the women had not been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease. Sabine tells Megan Jones about what happened to her, including being subjected to her first ever gynaecological exam. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Tripperburgen at Riebeckstraße 63.

We have ended part 2 with Hannes Meyer leaving the Soviet Union to go and help build a socialist republic in Spain which was interrupted by the Franco coup and left Meyer in limbo in his home country, Switzerland. Here, he married Lena Bergner in 1937 – they already had a daughter, Lilo, back then. In 1938 to 1939 Hannes Meyer built the orphanage Mümliswil, which I have discussed more extensively at the end of part 2. In this new episode I have invited the Mexican art-historian Raquel Franklin to talk about Meyer's next and last emigration to Mexico between 1938 and 1949, about which she wrote her PhD thesis. What were his goals and opportunities? Was Meyer really a spy for the Soviets? What was the Black book of Nazi terror and Meyer's role in it? And why did he leave Mexico, too, ending up again in Switzerland and not in another socialist country like the GDR? As in parts 1 and 2 I will bring in former Berlin Senator for Culture Thomas Flierl to share his research results and expertise, too.

Katja Hesse, daughter of Vice Admiral Gustav Hesse of the East German Navy, shares her deeply personal story of growing up behind the Iron Curtain. In this fascinating conversation, Katja provides rare insights into life in the GDR as the child of a high-ranking officer— from an idyllic childhood in privileged housing to working at the Grand Hotel Berlin. She recounts her father's harrowing World War 2 escape from the Sudetenland, her experiences of political indoctrination in school and life within a family loyal to the East German government. Katja also describes her work at guest houses for East Germany's elite , where she served dignitaries including Erich Honecker and Egon Krenz. This is a moving and revealing glimpse into a unique Cold War upbringing— and into the personal costs of German reunification for families like Katja's.

In December 1989, Germany's ‘Green Belt' was born. For more than 40 years, the country had been split by a 1,400km border and, in the decades the so-called ‘death zone' had existed, life flourished everywhere. In 1989, communism crumbled and, as soon as the borders opened, Kai Frobel knew he needed to act fast to stop farmers and developers. He called a meeting on 9 December, hoping a few people might come along. Around 400 people from both sides of the border joined Kai to help create what would become known as Germany's ‘Green Belt', securing life in a place which had been associated with death for decades. Professor Kai Frobel tells Laura Jones about growing up near the fortified GDR border and why it's such a special place for rare species of birds and animals.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar chats with Saint Leonard—the visionary artist formerly known as Kieran Leonard—about the extraordinary journey that led to his third and most ambitious album, The Golden Hour. From recording his debut, Good Luck Everybody, at Stanley Kubrick's historic home to headlining sold-out shows at London's The Windmill and Third Man Records and supporting The Libertines on tour, Saint Leonard has built a reputation for fearless reinvention. In this fascinating conversation, Leonard shares the wild and deeply personal story behind The Golden Hour—an album shaped by Wild nights in Berlin's underbelly, Spiritual awakenings in India, Isolation in a GDR-era apartment during the pandemic, and Collaborations with Brian Eno and members of Fat White Family. Recorded at the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin and Paul Epworth's Church Studios in London, The Golden Hour blends electronic textures, techno pulses, and Weimar cabaret flair—all woven together with Leonard's surreal storytelling and dark wit. Highlights include: Meeting Fat White Family by chance in Berlin and forming a band overnight Collaborating with Brian Eno and how it reshaped his sonic vision Wrestling with identity, paranoia, and rebirth during lockdown Using music to capture the absurdity of existence—with a wink The Golden Hour is not just an album—it's a full-blown experience: cinematic, unhinged, and unforgettable.

In this third episode of the East Germany series, Artie is joined by Deputy Minister and fellow Berlin tour guide Tina to discuss East Germany's first major crisis.By the early 1950s, West Germany was booming thanks to American subsidies, while the GDR remained in ruins, burdened by Soviet reparation payments. Living standards had declined, fuelling unrest. When the government ordered a 10% productivity increase without extra pay, anger boiled over. On 16 June 1953, workers in East Berlin went on strike. By the next day, protests had spread nationwide, turning into a full-scale uprising. Crowds stormed government buildings, tore down propaganda, and overpowered security forces. The SED was on the brink of collapse—until Soviet tanks rolled in.The uprising was brutally crushed, killing 55 people, with more subsequently executed after show trials. In response, the GDR expanded Stasi surveillance, cementing its status as one of history's most oppressive police states.The Ministry of History offers more than just podcast episodes!

Alva Noto—aka Carsten Nicolai—has spent decades at the forefront of experimental electronic music and multimedia art. Growing up in East Germany, his work has been shaped by the country's stark aesthetics, Leipzig's bookmaking traditions, and the GDR's Bauhaus-influenced design. In this episode, we talk about minimalism, sound as texture, the NOTON label and how his collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto (including The Revenant soundtrack) have redefined electronic music.Carsten takes us back to the late '80s and '90s—a time when electronic music was shifting from analog to digital, opening up new creative possibilities. He shares how artists like Kraftwerk and Brian Eno paved the way for his work and how embracing imperfections in technology led to the birth of glitch.We also explore how music distribution evolved from CDs to MP3s, how that shaped the way we experience sound, and what it means for artists today.

Donate to Personal Landscapes. Eighties movies portrayed East Germany as a vast open-air prison populated by monotonous grey blurs without individuality or agency, but the GDR was not a static land that time forgot. Katja Hoyer's brilliant book Beyond The Wall tells its story through the lives of ordinary people. She also grapples with the ongoing tension between a Germany that sees the GDR as an aberration, and the desire of East Germans to hold on to their memories of a life they lived in colour. We spoke about daily life in East Germany, why the Berlin Wall reduced political tensions, and why tinned soup became a modern political controversy.
Today we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history that occurred 35 years ago this month - the Romanian Revolution of 1989. This episode is from our archive and features, Mark Brayne, a former Reuters and BBC journalist, who provides a gripping first-hand account of the tumultuous events that led to the fall of Nicolae Ceausescu. As Mark recounts his experiences, listeners are given a rare glimpse into the life of a journalist reporting from a war zone. He embarks on a perilous journey to Bucharest, navigating roadblocks and dodging bullets to report on the revolution. His determination to capture the story amidst chaos and danger is a testament to the courage and resilience of journalists who risk their lives to bring us the news. Beyond the historical events, Mark shares personal reflections on how these experiences shaped his life and career. The emotional intensity of covering such significant moments led him to a new path as a psychotherapist, helping others navigate their own traumas. This episode is not just a recounting of history but an exploration of the human stories behind the headlines. It highlights the bravery of journalists like Mark, who venture into the unknown to bring us closer to the truth. For anyone interested in history, journalism, or the human condition, this episode is a must-listen.

Hello Radio GDR listeners! I am so pleased to bring you the second episode of two with my new friend Herta Peter. My favorite thing about doing this podcast is hearing stories from those of you who lived in the GDR. Your stories are always extremely compelling, and we welcome them with open arms. History deserves to be preserved, and Radio GDR has been here to do it. Herta was born in Halle in 1981. While she was only 8 when the wall fell, her memories of her childhood in the GDR to two parents who lived during the country's entire existence are simply amazing. Having family in West Germany, Herta received care packages she had to keep a secret when at school. Upon reaching pension age, her grandmother was able to visit the west but could never shake the habit of whispering, a survival tactic learned in the repressive East where, like the Three Monkeys one saw no evil, heard no evil and said no evil. Just listen for her story of the Soviet tank driver who made a mess no one ever talked about. From her memories of what she says were the "various shades of grey" she saw in the GDR, she has written and is working to publish a children's book about her memories - How the Grey Disappeared from Greyland. It's a compelling short story about the arrival of a colorful package in the land of grey, a representation of the care packages she got from the West. In this episode, we'll learn how her childhood in the GDR inspired her book and the lessons she believes life in the GDR can teach us today. Let's dive in with Herta Peter as she brings the second part of her story to life here on Radio GDR. Our ability to bring you stories from behind the Berlin Wall is dependent on monthly donors like you. Visit us at https://www.radiogdrpodcast.com/p/support-the-podcast/ to contribute. For the price of a Berliner Pilsner, you can feel good you are contributing to preserve one of the most important pieces of Cold War history.

Welcome to The Spark—your weekly creative pick-me-up from The Creative Boom Podcast. Every Thursday, we bring you a shorter, snappier episode filled with inspiration, creative news, and practical tips to carry you through the week. Whether you need motivation or insights, we've got you covered! This week, we welcomed Joseph Parsons to the podcast. By day, Joseph is a freelance graphic designer, and by night, he takes to the stage as a stand-up comedian. His dual career path sparked a fascinating discussion about balancing two passions: navigating the challenges of freelancing and the unexpected parallels between pitching design ideas and performing stand-up comedy. This episode is for you if you've ever juggled different roles in your creative journey. Joseph shared his thoughts on how the industry is changing, including the impact of the Government's IR35 legislation on freelancers and small businesses. We also explored how comedy has evolved, with platforms like social media offering new opportunities for comedians to find success outside traditional routes. Joseph's upcoming tour, Re-Designed, is a brilliant blend of his experiences in comedy and design—be sure to check it out for a good laugh and some relatable industry insights. This week's creative news takes us on a journey of nostalgia and innovation. In Finland, Aalto University is unveiling Nokia's design archive on 15 January, celebrating the brand that defined the mobile world in the '90s. From the iconic 8110 "banana phone" to the customisable 3210, the archive is a treasure trove of design sketches, marketing materials, and audio recordings, offering a rich blend of inspiration and history. Meanwhile, Cornish landscape artist Dianne Griffiths has won the 2024 People's Choice Award for her atmospheric painting Driving Home. This evocative depiction of a Texaco petrol station under a starry sky captivated voters and has even been purchased by the petrol station itself. In tech news, Apple is rumoured to be working on its thinnest phone yet, the iPhone 17 Air. Combining sleek design with advanced technology, it's shaping up to be a bold step forward in minimalist tech. Our Spotlight segment this week celebrates the 25 most admired graphic designers of 2024, as voted for by the design community. From bold innovators like Jessica Walsh to typographic legends like Astrid Stavro, these creatives are shaping the future of visual culture and leaving a lasting impact on the industry. The full list is a testament to the diversity and brilliance of today's graphic design scene. Our Book of the Week is Beyond the Wall: East Germany, 1949–1990 by Katja Hoyer. It offers a fresh look at life behind the Iron Curtain. This detailed history reveals the complexities of the GDR, from its Marxist roots to its collapse, blending personal stories with political insights. A must-read for history buffs! For our Tip of the Week, we look at networking and why it should be your priority in 2025. Networking is about building real connections. Start small—ask simple questions like, "What brought you here?" Follow up afterwards to keep the relationship alive. Authenticity is key. Networking isn't about selling yourself—it's about making new friends. On Monday, our guest will be Jessi Brattengeier, creative director at The New York Times. She will share her inspirations, processes, and aspirations and give us a really interesting look behind the scenes at one of the world's most prestigious publications. And then, instead of The Spark on Thursday, we've got a Christmas Special for you, featuring ten former guests of The Creative Boom Podcast, all helping us get into the festive spirit. Until then!
Today is the 35th anniversary of the Berlin Wall and East German border opening in the autumn of 1989. In this riveting episode, I speak with Dietmar Schultke, a member of the Grenztruppen, the East German Border Guards and delve into the life of those responsible for preventing escapes over the Berlin Wall and the East German Border. Dietmar opens up about his life in the GDR, sharing personal stories of his recruitment into the border troops, the rigorous training he endured, and the psychological pressures he faced during his service. Training in Eisenach prepared him for a potential third World War, with exercises in sharpshooting, combat, and gas mask drills. The psychological toll of such training was immense, as soldiers were constantly under surveillance, with one in ten being a Stasi informant. The cultural impact of the time was not lost on Dietmar. He vividly recalls attending a Bruce Springsteen concert in East Berlin, an event that felt like a taste of freedom amidst the oppressive regime. The concert was a beacon of hope, yet, the return to the border was a stark reminder of the barriers that still existed.
