Podcasts about Hindenburg

After a triggering event we're calling Legislativegate, producer Wojciech has a bone to pick with the English language and all of its irregularities. This week, Katy arranges a therapy session for Wojciech with Rob Watts, the Berlin-based host of the wildly popular YouTube channel RobWords, to discuss the peculiarities of the English language and the joys of being a “word nerd”. We're also talking about Nikol Pashinyan's ✨pivotal✨win in Armenia's election, and whether or not we can forgive Dua Lipa for her Sicilian destination wedding.GOT A HOT TAKE ABOUT BREXIT?

Gallipoli ? Les Dardanelles ? ANZAC Cove ? …Ça ne vous dit peut-être rien et c'est à peu près normal. Si ce théâtre d'opération de la Première Guerre mondiale est aussi méconnu chez nous, ce n'est pourtant pas le cas dans le Commonwealth, et en particulier dans les anciennes colonies britanniques du Sud de l'Océanie.C'est bien plus qu'un théâtre d'opération, c'est la naissance d'un mythe et d'une identité, tout ça enrobé d'un échec stratégique et tactique sans aucune commune mesure.Dans cette sous-série de 14-18, D'un monde à l'autre, Julien Dauge vous plonge dans cette campagne oubliée de la Première Guerre mondiale.

Human curiosity drives discovery, invention, and progress. But the same instinct that helps us learn can also put us in danger. Why do people keep looking when they should look away?________________________________________Curiosity built civilizations.It helped create science, medicine, aviation, exploration, and countless discoveries that improved human life.But curiosity has a shadow side.In this episode of An Ounce, we explore how the same instinct that pushes us toward understanding can also lead us into danger. From childhood lessons and the Hindenburg disaster to real-world experiences as a first responder, this story examines why curiosity needs more than enthusiasm—it needs judgment.Sometimes the desire to know becomes stronger than the desire to stay safe.And sometimes "just one look" becomes a problem.________________________________________COMPANION EPISODE RECOMMENDATIONThe Night We Counterattacked Venus — A True Storyhttps://youtu.be/n_xTQIBBaqMWhy:Both episodes explore what happens when human beings act before they fully understand the larger system around them.In The Dangerous Side of Curiosity, people pursue answers without always recognizing the risks.In The Night We Counterattacked Venus, people attempted to solve a problem while operating with incomplete understanding of the consequences.Both stories examine a familiar human pattern:The desire to know, fix, or improve something before fully understanding what happens next.________________________________________If you enjoy stories about hidden consequences, human behavior, and looking beyond the obvious, consider subscribing.#Curiosity #HumanBehavior #Psychology #History #AnOuncePodcast________________________________________CHAPTERS00:00 Curiosity's Good Reputation00:30 Curiosity's Questions01:09 Curiosity: Innocence and Temptation02:09 The Hindenburg: Curiosity and Innovation make a misstep.03:12 The Coin Has Two Sides03:28 A First Responder's Lesson03:36 The Accident After the Accident04:01 Curiosity Versus Wisdom04:44 An Ounce________________________________________REFERENCESHindenburg Disaster – Background and historical informationhttps://www.britannica.com/event/Hindenburg-disasterNational Air and Space Museum – Hindenburg history and aviation contexthttps://airandspace.si.eduNational Transportation Safety Board – Traffic safety and distracted driving informationhttps://www.ntsb.gov

(5) Timothy Ryback recounts how the November 1932 defeat leaves the Nazi Party in a state of gloom, leading many to believe Hitler is "washed up." However, political desperation drives Franz von Papen to reach out to Hitler, hoping to salvage his own unpopular chancellorship by forming a new alliance. Hindenburg meets with Hitler a second time in a congenial but ultimately fruitless exchange of war stories. Internal party tensions escalate as Gregor Strasser advocates for conciliation while hardliners like Goebbels demand total power, leading to Hitler's infamous "nightshirt" scene where he was pulled off a train in Jena by his own lieutenants.1939

(8) Timothy Ryback recounts how on January 30, 1933, Hitler is finally summoned to become Chancellor. The appointment hinges on a frantic, last-minute negotiation in Hindenburg's foyer with media mogul Alfred Hugenberg, who reluctantly joins the coalition after being cornered by Göring and Papen. Hugenberg immediately regrets the decision, realizing he has made the "biggest mistake" of his life. The resulting government photograph captures a stunned cabinet and an angry-looking Hitler. The era of political "hustling" ends as Hitler consolidates power, eventually murdering former rivals, including Strasser and Schleicher, during the 1934 Night of the Long Knives.1936?

(7) Timothy Ryback describes how on January 28, 1933, the political crisis peaks as Kurt von Schleicher confronts Hindenburg, requesting martial law to stabilize the disintegrating Nazi threat. Hindenburg, increasingly stubborn and weary of Schleicher's manipulations, dismisses him instead. The aging President asserts his authority, refusing to be dictated to by the military or political factions. He secretly appoints Werner von Blomberg as Minister of Defense to secure the army's loyalty. Though Hindenburg continues to disdain Hitler, he finds himself out of options, having exhausted every alternative to prevent a total collapse of the constitutional order.1940 BERLIN

(3) Timothy Ryback explains how, following Hitler's refusal to join a coalition, the Nazis adopt a strategy of "obstructionist politics" to paralyze the Reichstag. With 230 seats, they create a legislative gridlock, preventing any laws from passing and forcing Hindenburg to rule by emergency decree. Joseph Goebbels famously remarks that democracy provides its mortal enemies with the tools for its own destruction. Meanwhile, Hermann Göring serves as Reichstagpresident, utilizing his status as a war hero and social elite to bridge the gap between Hitler's movement and Berlin's high society while working to dismantle the democratic system.1940 BERLIN

(1) Timothy Ryback describes how on August 13, 1932, Adolf Hitler meets President Paul von Hindenburg in Berlin. Despite the Nazis holding 37% of the electorate, Hindenburg refuses to grant Hitler the chancellorship, offering instead a secondary role in a coalition government. Hitler, an "all or nothing" leader, flatly rejects the offer, insisting on total control. Hindenburg, a statuesque Prussian aristocrat, disdains Hitler as a "Bohemian corporal" and fears his divisive, radical politics. This pivotal refusal marks the beginning of intense political manipulation as Hitler vows to besiege the state rather than be a prisoner within it.1910 GERMANY

Die Hindenburg war eines der größten Luftschiffe, das je gebaut worden ist. Ein fliegendes Hotel über dem Atlantik. Aber wie war es, auf diesem Schiff zu reisen? Und wie haben die Nationalsozialisten den Giganten der Lüfte für ihre Zwecke missbraucht? Klar ist: Am 06. Mai 1937 wird der Traum vom Fliegen in Lakehurst, USA, zum Albtraum.++ Mit dem Code "geschichte26" jetzt Bookbeat 90 Tage gratis nutzen ++Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

La noche de Cope repasa hitos de la aviación. En 1911, Henri Pequet realiza el primer vuelo postal en la India con 6.000 cartas, un servicio que antes se hacía en globos y que se regulariza en EE. UU. en 1918. Hoy, el correo aéreo se integra en la carga general. Amelia Earhart, pionera, es la primera mujer en cruzar el Atlántico en solitario en 1932. En 1937, su avión desaparece en el Pacífico durante su intento de dar la vuelta al mundo, generando una búsqueda masiva. Su legado inspira a muchas mujeres. Los zeppelines, dirigibles de lujo creados en 1900, se usan militarmente en la Primera Guerra Mundial para bombardear Londres de noche, causando pánico y víctimas. El incendio del Hindenburg en 1937 finaliza su era comercial. El Concorde, avión supersónico, reduce a la mitad el tiempo de vuelo entre París y Nueva York. Su estructura se dilata hasta 30 centímetros en vuelo por el calor. El 25 de julio de 2000, un accidente en París, causado por una placa metálica en la pista, provoca ...

En agosto de 1914, mientras Europa asistía al inicio de la Gran Guerra, el Imperio ruso lanzó una gran ofensiva sobre Prusia Oriental con la intención de aliviar la presión alemana sobre Francia. Lo que parecía una amenaza capaz de poner en jaque al Reich terminó convirtiéndose en una de las derrotas más contundentes de la Primera Guerra Mundial. En realidad, la batalla pendió de un hilo, pero el nuevo mando alemán en la zona logró explotar la mala coordinación rusa y su falta de información sobre el terreno. En este episodio analizamos una batalla decisiva que encumbró a Hindenburg y Ludendorff y cambió el curso de la campaña en el Frente Oriental, y tal vez en el occidental.

The European Union is many things: an economic powerhouse, an improbably successful peace project, or a bureaucratic hellscape, depending on who you ask. Most people would probably agree on one thing that it isn't: funny. So when Susanna Kierkegaard set out to write Sweden's first genuinely entertaining book about the EU, many might have dismissed the idea as a fool's errand. And yet she has somehow pulled it off. This week, we call up Susanna to share some of the best bits from her book Superstaten : EU och framtiden, from the MEP who expensed 250 kilograms of chocolate to the Italian whose unpaid electricity bills changed the course of European law. Susanna is a columnist for Aftonbladet. You can read her work here, and follow her on Instagram as well as TikTok.This podcast was brought to you in cooperation with Euranet Plus, the leading radio network for EU news.

Could the answer to the current fuel crisis be right under our noses? On Our Changing World this week, Sharon Brettkelly talks to some of the scientists analysing ultramafic rocks in places like Lake Pupuke on Auckland's North Shore and gases from various hotspots around the country, in the hopes that one day hydrogen could power local communities. Sign up to the Our Changing World monthly newsletter for episode backstories, science analysis and more.Learn more:New Zealand already has hydrogen trucks on our roads and active hydrogen refueling stations. However, some critics say battery technology is a better way to decarbonise. After delays from an international supplier, diesel trucks are being converted to hydrogen in New Zealand. Professor Allan Blackman looks at how the Hindenburg disaster has haunted the development of hydrogen technology and why that might be changing. And Jesse talks with Dr. Linda Wright from the New Zealand Hydrogen Council about if hydrogen could displace diesel.Guests:Kevin Faure, Senior minerals geologist and Team lead National Isotope Centre, Earth Sciences New ZealandPaul Viskovic, Geomodeller, Earth Sciences New ZealandThijs van Soest, Isotope Hydrogeologist, Earth Sciences New ZealandGo to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

The predictions began soon after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine: the collapse of the Russian economy was imminent. Four years later, it still hasn't happened. And yet, the cracks are appearing: Ukrainian drones that are now capable of striking critical targets in Moscow; economic data that even the Kremlin can't spin as positive. But what do these changes actually feel like for Russian citizens? This week, Wojciech calls people with friends and family in Moscow to find out.

En 1937, un géant des airs survole la côte Est des États-Unis : le Hindenburg, dirigeable de luxe de la marque Zeppelin, réservé à une clientèle privilégiée. Symbole de prouesse technique et de modernité, il entame sa manœuvre d'atterrissage lorsqu'un incendie spectaculaire le transforme en torche géante. Plongez dans l'enfer du dernier voyage du Hindenburg, la catastrophe qui scelle la fin de l'ère des grands dirigeables. Crédits : Lorànt Deutsch, Bruno Calvès.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

 Sometimes they aim big. A comic. A cartoon. A toyline. Video games. And sometimes that crashes like the Hindenburg. Failed Franchises! That’s what the boys are talking about this week. A slew of bad comics, mediocre toys and forgettable films. Some of them even had an ok aspect, but they just aimed too high. From Jim Lee’s Wildcats, to Warren Beatty’s Dick Tracy and a few other gems (or crystals) in the mix. Crystar the Crystal Warrior and Bucky O’ Hare anyone? And somehow we talk about Glenn Danzig and Billy Zane because why the hell not!?!? Direct Download: MP3

In this wild Neph to America episode, David Lee Corbo (The Raven) and guest co-host Matthew Heppner (Straight Bible host, Standard Coffee Shop/NDS Studios owner) step in after Top Lobsta literally sh*ts his pants and bails mid-show. Nancy joins for chaotic vibes while they roast everything from declining kid skills to end-times madness.They break down shocking stats: nearly 1/3 of kids can't use books (they swipe like phones), 28% can't eat or drink independently, and 25% lack basic life skills — tying it to fatherlessness in the Black community, Charlie Kirk debates, and how 90s rap (Tupac, Ludacris) once called out internal issues before victimhood took over. Plus Eminem bars, wigger culture confessions, and why chivalry died.Met Gala madness: Katy Perry's beekeeper outfit with alleged 6-finger Nephilim glove (satanic transhumanist agenda?), Lady Gaga crotch bulge rumors, and a wheeled-out trans influencer that leaves them speechless.Deep dive into Perry Stone's urgent warning to pastors: prepare your people for massive UFO/alien disclosure — non-human crafts, materials not from Earth, reptilian-looking hybrids from underground (not spaceships). They connect it to Book of Revelation beasts (Therion), Ezekiel's living creatures, Deuteronomy's “beasts of the field,” Kevin Zadai's interdimensional beings, Matt Gaetz hybridizing claims, and J.D. Vance “demons or aliens.”Bonus rabbit holes: Harlequin babies mistaken for reptilians, lost airship/blimp technology (only 20-25 left worldwide), Bohemian Grove tickets now on sale, AI Indian mermaid drama, Mother Horse Eyes series, and the insane John C. Lilly story — his assistant Margaret Lovatt living 24/7 with dolphin Peter, the LSD experiments, and the tragic “suicide” after their “close encounters.”They also touch Christian community drama, swearing vs. cursing in the Bible, and why the show's “terrible” reputation still produces Straight Bible fruit.Support the squad:Patreon.com/NephilimDeathSquad – early episodes, ad-free, private chats, Bohemian Grove ticketsTopLobster.com – merch + event ticketsNephilim Death Squad on all platforms  Subscribe, drop a like if you want more unfiltered Nephilim talk, and comment your wildest theory below.

‘Art and politics can totally be separated!' said no one ever – apart from the organisers of the Venice Biennale, a.k.a. the Olympics of the art world. This week we're diving into the fallout from the Biennale's decision to allow both Russia and Israel to participate. We're also looking at a case study of why it's so problematic to welcome Moscow to events that showcase its (Kremlin-approved) cultural offerings: the film Mr Nobody Against Putin, whose co-director Pavel Talankin, we are happy to report, has now happily been reunited with his mislaid Oscar. A round of applause for Lufthansa!It's taken us many years to get over our bitterness that there are some other kids on the block called The Europeans, but since it's Europe Day this Saturday, we've decided to bury the hatchet. This week we're delighted to be joined by the Dutch writer Arnold van Bruggen, one half of the photo-documentary project The Europeans. Along with the photographer Rob Hornstra, Arnold is spending the decade chronicling life around a continent that, as he puts it, is being rocked by a perfect storm of political, social and environmental changes. We spoke to Arnold about the latest chapter of the project, in which they got to know the migrant workers who keep southern Spain's giant greenhouse region running.

The Hindenburg. Lawsuits over tomato fraud and the loss of Peaches.

The Rizzuto Show proudly presents another episode that somehow starts with the Hindenburg disaster and ends with Bob Seger rankings, proving once again that this funny podcast is held together with duct tape, caffeine, and questionable decision-making.Rizz and the gang kick things off talking about local BMX hero and X Games champion Zack Warden ahead of the Show Me BMX Jam at Four Hands. What begins as a wholesome STL success story immediately spirals into everyone remembering how they once thought they could do BMX tricks before realizing gravity exists and hospital bills are expensive.Then things take a historical turn when the crew revisits the legendary Hindenburg disaster broadcast from 1937. The original radio coverage still hits like a truck, and the gang breaks down why hearing genuine emotion on-air was such a massive moment in broadcasting history. Somehow this turns into a discussion about how modern media has basically turned everybody into full-time catastrophe consumers. So… uplifting stuff.Elsewhere in this daily podcast, Lern's mom desperately searches New York City for Mick Jagger while accidentally missing him entirely, the crew debates whether concert ticket prices have officially become criminal activity, and everyone collectively roasts the Missouri State Fair lineup while Illinois quietly flexes on them with a way better roster. Sorry, Missouri. We still love you. Mostly.The gang also dives into misunderstood songs that people somehow turned into wedding classics despite the lyrics being deeply depressing. Turns out “Every Breath You Take” is not romantic, “Semi-Charmed Life” is very much about meth, and “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan absolutely ruined animal shelter commercials forever.Lern introduces the show to Castle Rat — a medieval fantasy doom metal band featuring chainmail, underboob armor, plague doctors, and enough theatrical nonsense to immediately earn the crew's respect. Honestly, if your band doesn't have a dedicated Rat Queen at this point, what are you even doing?Then it's time for a full-on Bob Seger birthday celebration as the crew debates his greatest songs, from “Night Moves” to “Against the Wind” to the inescapable wedding anthem “Old Time Rock and Roll.” Rafe practically turns into a Bob Seger historian while everyone else realizes they know way more Seger songs than they thought.You'll also get Seinfeld episode rankings, AMC's bizarre new live concert theater experiment, Anthony Bourdain movie talk, celebrity chaos, weird news, hilarious fails, and approximately 47 moments that would absolutely confuse anyone listening out of context.In other words: a completely normal episode of your favorite daily comedy show and your favorite comedy podcast from St. Louis.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

But what if some people already knew it was going to happen?In this chilling episode of Truth Be Told Paranormal, Tony Sweet explores the strange claims surrounding the Hindenburg tragedy — including vivid dreams, psychic warnings, eerie premonitions, and theories of unexplained energy anomalies connected to the doomed airship.Was the Hindenburg disaster one of the first modern “mass premonition” events? Could human consciousness somehow sense tragedy before it strikes? Or are these stories simply coincidence shaped by fear and memory?From paranormal theories and collective consciousness to curses, sabotage rumors, and lingering spiritual energy, we uncover the mystery behind the fire that shocked the world.Prepare for a haunting journey into one of history's most eerie paranormal mysteries.#TruthBeTold #Paranormal #Hindenburg #HindenburgDisaster #Premonition #PsychicPhenomena #MassPremonition #Mystery #ParanormalPodcast #UFO #GhostStories #Conspiracy #Supernatural #HistoryMystery #ClubParanormal #TonySweet #UnexplainedMysteries #DarkHistory #ParanormalHistory #FireInTheSkyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-paranormal--3589860/support.

We go behind the scenes to explore how thoughtful coding, modern frameworks, and evolving AI tools can help identify and fix accessibility gaps before they become obstacles.Most importantly, the conversation is placed within the context of the business case for making websites accessible to all, demonstrating the bottom line affect that inclusion can have for an organisation.To learn more and connect with our guests:Karren Visser:Website: karrenvisser.comFacebook, Instagram, LinkedIn: @karrenvisserJustin Hyde:Website: vertopia.co.zaSocials: @vertopiaCraig Strachan:Website: craigstrachan.comImage Description:White headphone and eye icon with a sound wave in the center, over a background patterned with hundreds of illustrated eyes.I'd love to hear from you – contact me atWebsite : loisstrachan.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/lstrachanFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/loisstrachanspeakerThis episode edited by Craig Strachan using Hindenburg PRO – find out more on Hindenburg.comCredits and music by Charlie Dyasi.

Chuck Todd unpacks a wave of devastating new polling that shows Americans have lost confidence in Trump across nearly every metric, with his approval cratering among independents and only his hardcore base still standing by him. He notes Trump is underwater on virtually every issue except taxes, immigration, and the border — that his trustworthiness is lower than any past president, that even 22% of his own 2024 voters don't believe he's kept his promises, and that his approval has collapsed with younger voters even as it holds up with the elderly. In a particularly striking finding, only 1 in 10 Americans approve of Trump naming things after himself, and even the "own the libs" voters can't get behind that particular vanity. Todd warns this is a political disaster in the making for Republicans: the enthusiasm gap is now massive in the Democrats' favor, and the Iran war is polling more unpopular than the worst polling ever recorded for Iraq or Vietnam. Yet despite all this, neither party's brand has actually improved with swing voters — both parties still carry almost identical unfavorability ratings, voters of both parties don't even want their leaders to work across the aisle anymore, and the political incentives are now firmly aligned with confrontation rather than compromise — creating an enormous opportunity for independent candidates that neither major party seems prepared to address. On Iran, he says there is no political room for Trump to escalate militarily — his only real escalation option would be ground troops, which would risk total political collapse — and predicts the eventual deal will look like whatever framework the Iranians put forward. He flags a striking recent Tucker Carlson interview in which Carlson was forced to face hard facts, observing that Tucker increasingly looks like a combination of Pat Buchanan and Roger Ailes who is genuinely trying to build a political movement of his own. He returns to the case for expanding the House of Representatives as the fix for the Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act ruling, warns that Republicans could pay a serious political price if Southern voters perceive the GOP as actively trying to disenfranchise Black voters and closes with the news that Janet Mills has dropped out of the Maine Senate race — leaving Democrats now trying to coalesce around Graham Platner, in what Chuck says feels increasingly like a mirror image of the 2016 presidential campaign. Then, Yale political scientist Ian Shapiro — author of the new book After the Fall — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the missed opportunities of the post-Cold War era and what it would take to actually fix what's broken in the global political economy. Shapiro argues America fundamentally squandered its chance to integrate Russia into the West after the Soviet collapse — there should have been a Marshall Plan for Russia along the lines of what was done for Germany and Japan after World War II, and both Yeltsin and Putin (in his early years) actively lobbied to join the Western order. Clinton was hesitant to help Russia economically, the 1994 midterm results pushed him away from foreign policy ambition entirely, and the eventual pivot toward NATO expansion in Eastern Europe — rather than transforming NATO into something genuinely inclusive — froze Russia out and is exactly when Putin's worldview hardened into the revanchism we're dealing with today. Shapiro extends this analysis to 2008, calling the financial crisis another massive missed opportunity: Obama had to bail out the banks, but his failure to insist on a parallel bailout for Main Street allowed the elites to rescue themselves while imposing austerity on everyone else, which directly fueled the right-wing populism now reshaping politics across the West. The conversation pivots to what comes next. Shapiro is clear that the good policies of the 2030s won't be a rehash of the New Deal — they need to address modern realities. He argues governments need to help workers be flexible rather than redistributing wealth through politically toxic taxation, advocating instead for portable health insurance and portable child care that follows the worker. Shapiro makes a forceful case for immigration as the only realistic answer to America's demographic challenges, noting that Spain and Poland are economically outperforming much of Europe specifically because they've embraced immigration to support aging populations. He warns that we're living in a world disturbingly similar to the 1930s — if ordinary people don't benefit from economic growth, they will not continue supporting the existing order — and notes that right-wing populists don't actually have answers; they just attack the elites. Shapiro argues Trump is inadvertently benefiting China enormously, but cautions that authoritarian governments are fundamentally bad at managing complex economies, so it's still unlikely China's model wins the 21st century. Shapiro closes by warning that the anti-Trump coalition has become too big to govern, but that if Zohran Mamdani succeeds in New York, it could meaningfully energize progressive politics nationally — proof that the road forward requires real ideas about power, not just opposition to Trumpism. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the Hindenburg disaster and how it was the origin of “breaking news”, and also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Chuck Todd unpacks a wave of devastating new polling that shows Americans have lost confidence in Trump across nearly every metric, with his approval cratering among independents and only his hardcore base still standing by him. He notes Trump is underwater on virtually every issue except taxes, immigration, and the border — that his trustworthiness is lower than any past president, that even 22% of his own 2024 voters don't believe he's kept his promises, and that his approval has collapsed with younger voters even as it holds up with the elderly. In a particularly striking finding, only 1 in 10 Americans approve of Trump naming things after himself, and even the "own the libs" voters can't get behind that particular vanity. Todd warns this is a political disaster in the making for Republicans: the enthusiasm gap is now massive in the Democrats' favor, and the Iran war is polling more unpopular than the worst polling ever recorded for Iraq or Vietnam. Yet despite all this, neither party's brand has actually improved with swing voters — both parties still carry almost identical unfavorability ratings, voters of both parties don't even want their leaders to work across the aisle anymore, and the political incentives are now firmly aligned with confrontation rather than compromise — creating an enormous opportunity for independent candidates that neither major party seems prepared to address. On Iran, he says there is no political room for Trump to escalate militarily — his only real escalation option would be ground troops, which would risk total political collapse — and predicts the eventual deal will look like whatever framework the Iranians put forward. He flags a striking recent Tucker Carlson interview in which Carlson was forced to face hard facts, observing that Tucker increasingly looks like a combination of Pat Buchanan and Roger Ailes who is genuinely trying to build a political movement of his own. He returns to the case for expanding the House of Representatives as the fix for the Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act ruling, warns that Republicans could pay a serious political price if Southern voters perceive the GOP as actively trying to disenfranchise Black voters and closes with the news that Janet Mills has dropped out of the Maine Senate race — leaving Democrats now trying to coalesce around Graham Platner, in what Chuck says feels increasingly like a mirror image of the 2016 presidential campaign. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the Hindenburg disaster and how it was the origin of “breaking news”, and also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

This week, we've got a little something for everyone: gambling! Kraftwerk! Blast from the recent US political past Tim Walz! It was a Good Week yet again for Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, the darling of the global left, who threw a party for… the global left. And it was a Bad Week for the legendary German electronic band Kraftwerk, who apparently have been around since 1970(!) and therefore can withstand the occasional bad week. We also caught up with Greek investigative reporter Eurydice Bersi, who was part of a team that uncovered a slew of streamers on places like YouTube and Twitch who've been directing their followers to unlicensed gambling sites – and profiting off it. Eurydice is a reporter with Reporters United, Investigate Europe's partners in Greece. This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are the European Cultural Foundation's calendar of the smörgåsbord of events coming up in celebration of Europe Day 2026, and the website WhoSampled.com. UPCOMING BOOK CLUB: Don't forget to pick up a copy of Vincenzo Latronico's novella Perfection, which we'll be discussing with our friends from the European Review of Books right here on 14 May.Resources for this episode:“The European rule on whether samples need to be cleared moves to a ‘maybe' with latest Kraftwerk ruling” – Complete Music Update, 15 April 2026“The Court of Justice clarifies the scope of the exception for ‘pastiche' in relation to sampling” – Court of Justice of the European Union, 14 April 2026“Greek utility completes 2.13 GW solar cluster at former coal mine” – PV Magazine, 7 April 2026“Social media influencers steer millions of Europeans to unlicensed gambling websites” – Investigate Europe, 24 February 2026Shady Bets, Investigate Europe's series on online gamblingWe know what you're thinking: you wish you got more emails.

Shortly after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, Elon Musk's company SpaceX swept in to restore internet connectivity to areas that had been affected by Russian attacks. But SpaceX and its internet service, Starlink, have hardly remained indisputable forces for good in the war in Ukraine. Earlier this month, the Kyiv Independent revealed that a fleet of old, rusty ships has been transporting hundreds of millions of barrels of Russian oil… with Starlink's help. Investigative journalist Tanya Kozyreva joins us to explain what her reporting uncovered about how Starlink is used by the Russian “shadow fleet” – and how Ukrainian sailors have found themselves onboard. We're also joined by The Europeans' resident Luxembourger, Nina Lamparski, to discuss a resurgence of bison in Europe and the imperiled fate of halloumi.JOIN OUR BOOK CLUB: We're so excited to be partnering with our friends at the European Review of Books on a new audio book club!

"The Drama," starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, asks the age old question: What would you do if, days before your wedding, you found out your fiancee almost shot up her school? The Boys are here to get philosophical, answer the hard questions and, of course, chat about the Hindenburg for about 15 minutes. Pop, pop!

A few weeks back, we asked you to weigh in on a question that's been on our mind a lot lately: Who are the Zohran Mamdanis of Europe, and when, pray tell, are they going to give our beloved, ailing continent a much-needed shake-up? As it turns out, that's a complicated question. This week's guest, Brussels-based journalist Dave Keating, says that the decks are stacked against insurgent outsiders like the New York mayor – yet we need them more than ever. We had a long-overdue chat with Dave about what might be preventing a charismatic, insurgent figure on the left from taking off in the EU, and we also talked about a few of the leaders you wrote in to share with us. (Of course, keep us posted of any changemakers cropping up in your country at hello@europeanspodcast.com.)We're also talking about a controversial new law in Germany introducing voluntary military service in the country for men under the age of 45. We recorded this segment a few hours before the news that young men will not have to seek permission for long stints abroad after all; you can read updated reporting here. We also unpack Netflix's failed legal challenge to EU regulations that led to a flood of funding for European TV and film production. A burning question has now been answered: yes, the US streaming giant really does have to set aside a decent budget for francophone Belgian content.This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are the viral videos emerging from Zara Larsson's tour and Juhani Karila's book Summer Fishing in Lapland, brought to our attention by listener Monika.Resources for this episode:Dave Keating's websiteDave's book The Owned ContinentUK Green Party leader Zack Polanski on the BBC's Political Thinking“Why a legal challenge by Netflix and Disney in Belgium could have huge implications for European producers” - Screen Daily, 14 May 2025“Forget Netflix — YouTube is our main rival, top French broadcaster says” - Politico Europe, 3 April 2026“Reading for a star: Meet the Portuguese teenager influencer helping kids to pick up books” - Euronews, 18 March 2026Can't get enough of us?

The most famous airship disaster in history left behind more than wreckage — and something at Lakehurst Naval Station may still be waiting to prove it.IN THIS EPISODE: In the Oakland Cemetery, a bronze monument to tragedy is said to bring death to anyone who touches it. (Black Angel of Death) *** While camping, a man has dreams of a dark-haired woman several nights in a row. Normally it wouldn't be anything to be all that concerned about, but it's something to fear if you are near the French Broad river. (Siren of the French Broad) *** Alien visitors, beings from a different dimension, our planet even had tree monsters and sentient pyramids showing up – and all in the year 1965.

(Alternative 3) *** On this date, October 24, 1953, Evelyn Hartley, a 15-year-old sophomore from La Crosse, Wisconsin, vanished without a trace while on her way to a babysitting job. It was like something out of a Halloween urban legend but in this case, the horror was real. (The Babysitter Who Vanished) *** The odd happening that takes place here and there in a house more than likely can be explained in some rational way. Even quite a few strange occurrences could probably be explained by science. But when the events seem to never stop, perhaps it's time to think something else is going on. (An Assortment of Experiences) *** Legend tells a centuries-old curse was placed upon Dudleytown in Connecticut. The town turned into a horrible place where people committed suicide or went insane. (Cursed Dudleytown) *** Exactly 92 years ago today – October 24, 1926 - something went wrong during a performance by Harry Houdini. A week later, he would be dead.

If you got a knock on your door from someone inviting you to Brussels to hash out some EU policies…you'd think it was a scam, right? Us, too. At least, that was the case until last week, when our producer Wojciech went to report on a European Citizens' Panel, an event designed to allow 150 randomly selected Europeans to weigh in on some of the EU's thorniest problems. This week we're taking a deep dive into the ins and outs of what seems like the nerdiest game show ever. How do these panels work? What do they actually achieve? And crucially, are they worth the cost?

It has been 16 years since Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party assumed power in Hungary – and it might have begun to feel like things could never change. But with a parliamentary election just around the corner, there's now a glimmer – a hint! a twinkle! – of hope that Europe's most illiberal government could finally be on its way out.   This week, we're devoting the entire episode to the April 12 elections: what's certain, what remains to be seen, and most importantly, what's at stake. And to make sense of it all, we're joined by two Budapest-based friends of the podcast: the novelist Krisztián Marton, and Viktória Serdült, reporter at HVG, one of the last surviving bastions of independent journalism in Hungary.   “At last, a figure has emerged who could wrench power from Viktor Orbán in Hungary” – Viktória Serdült for The Guardian, 18 December 2024 Paul the Octopus on Wikipedia Krisztián Marton on Instagram Viktória Serdült on X   This week's Hungary-themed Inspiration Station recommendations are the song “Tizenhat” by Elefánt, the documentary The Trap, and the FT series The Orbán System.   MISS OUR NORMAL PROGRAMMING?

1. Timothy Ryback describes the August 13, 1932, meeting where President Hindenburg offered Hitler a coalition role. Hitler, an "all-or-nothing" man, refused, demanding the chancellorship following his party's 37% election success. Hindenburg, viewing Hitler as a "Bohemian corporal," hesitated to grant total control to the divisive figure. (1)1933 GOEBELS AND SA.

7. In January 1933, President Hindenburg dismissed Schleicherafter the latter requested martial law to stabilize the country. Despite rumors of a military coup, Hindenburg maintained control by appointing Werner von Blomberg as Minister of Defense. Hindenburg is depicted as a stubborn, manipulative figure managing Germany's collapse. (7)1933 BERLIN. HITLER DEPARTS HINDENBERG.
