It's been about a week since the release of new, unredacted documents from the JFK assasination investigation. So what have we actually learned? Author Fred Litwin shares his journey from a curious 18 year-old to a passionate researcher of the JFK assassination. He discusses his initial fascination with the case, the evolution of conspiracy theories, and his belief in the lone gunman theory. Litwin emphasizes the importance of evidence over speculation, critiques the role of secrecy in shaping public perception, and expresses a desire for more transparency regarding historical documents. He also explores the potential influence of Russian propaganda on American beliefs about the assassination.

The long-awaited JFK files have finally been released, and one of the most revealing details isn't what's in them—but what the CIA wanted to keep hidden. Among the redactions in the report, one stands out: “The Israeli Intelligence Service.” Why was this information deemed too sensitive for public eyes, even after all these years? In this episode, I break down my initial reaction to the files, what this redaction could mean, and how it fits into the bigger picture of JFK's assassination, and American politics in general.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmIkS3X8ivoZzZosZdSRJueTZ&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1um-BhDtARIsABjU5x6X9JVI5Dihvk6wiS1l5Ra9sToZWRHjj-F0vy3owqCssQ1Bpb0eGaQaAsF1EALw_wcB

Novelist Allegra Goodman found the name of a marooned French noblewoman in a history book decades ago when she was vacationing with her family off the coast of Canada. The woman’s name was mentioned in passing and Allegra got curious about her life. Years later, Allegra is out now with the brilliant new novel “Isola” based on the real life of a 16th-century noblewoman Marguerite de la Rocque — and it’s February’s pick for Reese’s Book Club. She joins us to talk about her first foray into historical fiction and the moment when she first heard Marguerite’s voice in her head.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Natalie sits down with historian and research consultant Karen Averby, who shares her passion for seaside heritage and beach huts. With a rich background in historical research, Karen discusses her journey into the field, sparked by her early experiences with history and supported by her family. Together they delve into the fascinating history of beach huts, their evolution from bathing machines, and the social changes that influenced their design and use. Karen also highlights the importance of local archives for budding historians and shares her love for the sea, making this episode a delightful exploration of history, creativity, and the allure of coastal life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Karen Averby specializes in various aspects of historical research, including house history, seaside heritage, and community heritage, working with a wide range of clients from architects to private individuals. The history of beach huts is complex, with origins linked to bathing machines and fishermen's huts. Social changes in attitudes towards leisure and health influenced their evolution from temporary structures to the permanent beach huts we see today. For those interested in pursuing history, visiting local archives is crucial. Many historical documents and resources are not digitized, and exploring familiar areas can provide valuable insights into local history. Beach huts are not only functional but also serve as a canvas for creativity, with owners often decorating them in unique styles. This reflects a broader cultural appreciation for seaside heritage and personal expression. Beach huts contribute to local tourism and community identity. Despite rising costs and regulations imposed by councils, they remain a cherished aspect of coastal life, attracting visitors and fostering a sense of belonging among owners. BEST MOMENTS "You'd study history if you wanted to go on to become a teacher or if you wanted to go into academia." "Bathing machines came along when people started to look towards the coast as having the healing properties of the sea." "The thought that there were such interesting and varied careers available as a result of studying history, that was not obvious to any of us kids at school." "I think a good place to start is your local area or your own house or your own street. There's a lot out there that is just waiting to be read." "I think my access to beach huts will be to rent them. I'm quite happy to do that." HOST BIO My name is Natalie Young. I bought a beach hut to bring joy into my life after escaping an abusive relationship and a difficult divorce. Based in Christchurch, Dorset, my beach hut is affectionally called the Salty Seagull and is located on Friars Cliff beach with sea views to the Needles on the Isle of White. It is my slice of heaven. Owning and hiring a beach hut is more complicated than I realised and I am on a constant mission to discover the best ways to manage and care for your hut. I have researched the pros and cons of renting and the best ways to market and host. The beach, the sights and the sounds of the sea bring me huge joy. I hope this podcast will bring you smiles, laughter and joy too! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559730024536&sk=about https://www.linkedin.com/company/103555627/admin/feed/posts/?feedType=following PODCAST DESCRIPTION Welcome to the Bonkers about Beach Huts podcast, the show that's all about beach huts! Whether you are thinking of buying a beach hut and don’t know where to begin or if you have had a beach hut in your family for generations this podcast is for you. As I travel across the UK exploring these coastal retreats and sharing personal stories of how the humble beach hut has shaped lives, I will also be creating the UK's first beach hut map. I will give tips on where and how to buy a beach hut. And share everything you need to know about beach hut maintenance plus advice on hiring a beach hut. We will be chatting with special guests from estate agents to lock specialists, beach hut associations to beach hut builders, and artists to interior designers. If you don’t know what all the fuss is about, join us every week and you too will become a little bit Bonkers Bbout Beach Huts.

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, historian and author Katherine Carter offers a fascinating look into her new book, Churchill's Citadel, which examines Winston Churchill's pivotal “wilderness years” of the 1930s. Katherine shares her lifelong passion for history and her journey to becoming Chartwell's curator, diving into how this beloved Kent home became Churchill's personal headquarters for intelligence gathering and diplomacy. She reveals the unique domestic life at Chartwell, with its lively gatherings, memorable overnight guests like T.E. Lawrence, and Churchill's meticulous attention to detail—even down to the design of the dining chairs. The discussion explores Churchill's resilience and isolation as he warned of the Nazi threat, Clementine Churchill's critical role in managing their household and finances, and the support of staff who endured Churchill's famously rigorous schedule. Katherine also touches on the financial ups and downs that marked the Churchills' lives, their strategic return to Chartwell after WWII, and the special steps taken to protect the home during the war. Finally, she hints at an exciting upcoming art exhibition at the Wallace Collection that will showcase Churchill's work as a painter, bringing new depth to this extraordinary leader's life. We're running a giveaway until the end of the month with two copies to give away. Links Churchill's Citadel Contest Buy Churchill's Citadel Chartwell National Trust Katherine Carter on Twitter Join the International Churchill Society Key Takeaways Katherine Carter's passion for history began in her childhood in York. The 1930s were crucial for Churchill, as he was a lone voice against the tide of appeasement. Chartwell served as Churchill's headquarters for diplomacy and intelligence gathering. The abdication crisis highlighted Churchill's support for the monarchy. Notable visitors to Chartwell included influential figures like T.E. Lawrence and Heinrich Brüning. Churchill's dinner parties were a blend of fine cuisine and political strategy. Clementine Churchill played a vital role in managing Chartwell and their household. Churchill's financial struggles impacted his ability to maintain Chartwell. The upcoming exhibition at the Wallace Collection will focus on Churchill's artistry. Katherine's research revealed the human side of Churchill's domestic life. Sound Bites On Churchill's early inspiration: "The 1930s are just as, if not possibly even more important [than WWII] because it's so much harder fighting for a cause when you are a lone voice… Churchill really was going out on a limb declaring that war was inevitable and we should be preparing for it." Chartwell as Churchill's strategic hub: "Chartwell becomes like his own branch of the Foreign Office out in Kent… they chose the 1930s as the period to immortalize, recognizing that as its moment of greatest historic significance." The significance of the visitor's book: "There's over 750 signatories from the 40 years the Churchills lived there… I wanted to interrogate everyone who came, whether they were a dine, wine, and dined guest or someone just quickly running in for the afternoon with a brown envelope of intelligence." On Churchill's unique social diplomacy: "Dinner at Chartwell… you'd have fine cuisine, excellent champagne, and discussion until midnight. Churchill would either be gleaning insights from you or trying to persuade you to his way of thinking." Chartwell's intimate charm: "It's not a grand house. There are grander houses in England… but it's a microcosm of everything he required. It feels very intimate, like you're walking around in Churchill's head.” On Churchill's resilience and purpose: "His courage to remain true to what he thought was right is truly inspirational… even with the political pressure and fear of war, Churchill held firm to his beliefs."

In early 1996, the web was ephemeral. But by 2001, the internet was forever. How did websites transform from having a brief life to becoming long-lasting? Drawing on archival material from the Internet Archive and exclusive interviews, Ian Milligan's Averting the Digital Dark Age (John Hopkins University Press, December 2024) explores how Western society evolved from fearing a digital dark age to building the robust digital memory we rely on today. By the mid-1990s, the specter of a "digital dark age" haunted libraries, portending a bleak future with no historical record that threatened cyber obsolescence, deletion, and apathy. People around the world worked to solve this impending problem. In San Francisco, technology entrepreneur Brewster Kahle launched his scrappy nonprofit, Internet Archive, filling tape drives with internet content. Elsewhere, in Washington, Canberra, Ottawa, and Stockholm, librarians developed innovative new programs to safeguard digital heritage. Cataloging worries among librarians, technologists, futurists, and writers from WWII onward, through early practitioners, to an extended case study of how September 11 prompted institutions to preserve thousands of digital artifacts related to the attacks, Averting the Digital Dark Age explores how the web gained a long-lasting memory. By understanding this history, we can equip our society to better grapple with future internet shifts.

"In my own two analyses, I had observed such transformations for me in a very impressive way. I started my own analysis after the traumatic death of my sister when I was 22 years old. At that time, I had a breakdown, and I suffered from severe depressive and psychosomatic symptoms and sleep disorders but also from terrible nightmares that haunted me almost every night. Fortunately, my two analyses did change my depressive and psychosomatic symptoms, but what was at least as important for me, subjectively, was the change in my dreams, including the manifest dream content. The nightmares became less frequent; I was hardly in the position of an observer anymore but actively involved in the dream event. I was less alone in the dream but accompanied by people close to me and was more often able to solve the problems and conflicts which arose in the dream. In addition, the dreams were no longer predominantly characterized by fear and death anxiety but a whole range of emotions emerged. Towards the end of my second analysis, I will never forget that I had the only dream of my life from which I woke up because I was laughing out loud."    Episode Description: We begin with acknowledging the ambivalence that many analysts have towards research. It is seen as distant from the sharing of subjectivities that draw many to our field. Marianne honors the unique transference reliving and then remembering that is central to the analytic encounter and from that position suggests ways that it can be researched. She presents a patient whose manifest dreams were studied over the course of treatment along with his sleep laboratory data. She notes how the stability of the analyst's presence is essential but not sufficient to maximize therapeutic benefit. We discuss the role of theory, the controversy over approaching the veridical past and the seductions of simplified treatments. Marianne closes by sharing her deep respect for the unconscious and how psychoanalysts are living in "rich times of pluralism."   Linked Episode:  https://ipaoffthecouch.org/2019/07/13/episode-10-refugees-germany-psychoanalysis/   Our Guest: Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber, Prof. Dr. phil, director of the Sigmund-Freud-Institut in Frankfurt Germany (2001-2016), professor for psychoanalysis at the University of Kassel, Senior Research Fellow at the University Medicine in Mainz.

Irfan Habib has been the most vocal propagandist of rewriting Indian history to force-fit it into Karl Marx's wild theories. He has also been the most vicious denouncer of the RSS, Hindutva and Hindu Dharma. In one of his articles, he has called Hindu nationalism as a disease. For decades, Irfan Habib treated the Aligarh Muslim University as his personal fiefdom. He has awarded and promoted those who toed his line and destroyed the careers of those who merely disagreed with him. Irfan Habib was Chairman of the Indian Council for Historical Research for a record FIVE TIMES! Like Romila Thapar and her ilk, he used the ICHR as a private bank, enriching himself on Indian taxpayer money. Habib's history books are a mass of falsehoods and dubious interpretations calculated to serve the cause of Marxism, not objective history. His tactics of sidelining and conspiring against his own colleagues are hardly befitting an academic. Irfan Habib's role in the Ayodhya episode deserves a special mention. This episode cites from the copious speeches and writings of Irfan Habib in this regard and shows him to be a staunch anti-Hindu. Do listen to the whole podcast that contains revealing information and rare anecdotes exposing the voluminous misdeeds and distortions committed by Irfan Habib.If you enjoyed this conversation, please consider supporting The Dharma Podcast so we can offer more such interesting, informative and educational content related to Indian History, Sanatana Dharma, Hindu Culture and current affairs.

“I have fallen deeply in love with looking at a piece, seeing what it is, and realizing that there are no real absolutes in music. There are no rules. You have to look at each piece of music for what it is and consider it in its historical and cultural context and then find out enough about the composer. It feels like a journey, a rabbit hole that go down.”Dr. Elizabeth Schauer serves as Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities at the University of Arizona, where she is in her twentieth year of teaching.

On this day in 1871, Arthur A. Schomburg, a Puerto Rican historian, writer, and researcher, was born. Renowned for his activism and dedication to preserving African-American history, Schomburg's collection of literature formed the basis for the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a division of the New York Public Library. After arriving in America in 1891, he relocated to New York City a decade later, where he worked as a researcher at a law firm. In 1911, Schomburg co-founded the Negro Society for Historical Research, aiming to establish a scholarly institute. Actively engaged in the Harlem Renaissance, he served as the co-editor of the 1912 edition of the Encyclopedia of the Colored Race. In 1926, the New York City Public Library acquired his extensive collection of historical materials. Arthur Schomburg passed away in 1938 in Brooklyn. Learn more about your ad choices.

Russia and China, the largest and most populous countries in the world, respectively, have maintained a delicate relationship for four centuries. In addition to a four-thousand-kilometer border, they have periodically shared a common outlook on political and economic affairs. But they are, in essence, profoundly different polities and cultures, and their intermittent alliances have proven difficult and at times even volatile. In China and Russia: Four Centuries of Conflict and Concord (Yale UP, 2023), Philip Snow provides a full account of the relationship between these two global giants. Looking at politics, religion, economics, and culture, Snow uncovers the deep roots of the two nations' alignment. We see the shifts in the balance of power, from the wealth and strength of early Qing China to the Tsarist and Soviet ascendancies, and episodes of intense conflict followed by harmony. He looks too at the experiences and opinions of ordinary people, which often vastly differed from those of their governments, and considers how long the countries' current amicable relationship might endure.

Since the age of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov, Russian literature has posed questions about good and evil, moral responsibility, and human freedom with a clarity and intensity found nowhere else. In Wonder Confronts Certainty: Russian Writers on the Timeless Questions and Why Their Answers Matter (Harvard University Press, 2023), Dr. Gary Saul Morson delineates intellectual debates that have coursed through two centuries of Russian writing, as the greatest thinkers of the empire and then the Soviet Union enchanted readers with their idealism, philosophical insight, and revolutionary fervor. Dr. Morson describes the Russian literary tradition as an argument between a radical intelligentsia that uncompromisingly followed ideology down the paths of revolution and violence, and writers who probed ever more deeply into the human condition. The debate concerned what Russians called “the accursed questions”: If there is no God, are good and evil merely human constructs? Should we look for life's essence in ordinary or extreme conditions? Are individual minds best understood in terms of an overarching theory or, as Tolstoy thought, by tracing the “tiny alternations of consciousness”? Exploring apologia for bloodshed, Dr. Morson adapts Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the non-alibi—the idea that one cannot escape or displace responsibility for one's actions. And, throughout, Dr. Morson isolates a characteristic theme of Russian culture: how the aspiration to relieve profound suffering can lead to either heartfelt empathy or bloodthirsty tyranny. What emerges is a contest between unyielding dogmatism and open-minded dialogue, between heady certainty and a humble sense of wonder at the world's elusive complexity—a thought-provoking journey into inescapable questions. Gary Saul Morson is without a doubt one of the leading specialists on 19th and 20th century Russian literature. He is professor of Arts and Humanities at Northwestern University. And he is perhaps one of the few writers who has written for both The New Criterion and the New York Review of Books.  Charles Coutinho, PH.

Political science is centrally concerned with understanding how politics works. It's a discipline of the present tense, and the bulk of our research focuses on gathering evidence in the here and now. But sometimes political scientists also dig into the past. From time to time, you'll even find one of us trawling through the records in a dusty archive. We are discussing one particular ongoing example of historical research in political science - at prisoner-of-war camps in the UK in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. We are joined by:Zeynep Bulutgil,Professor in International Relations. Regular listeners may remember in episode we did with her back in 2022 on the origins of the secular state.Sam Erkiletian, a final-year PhD student who's just about to submit his dissertation on patterns of socialization in groups of combatants. Mentioned in this episode:Bulutgil, H. Zeynep, The Origins of Secular Institutions: Ideas, Timing, and Organization.

In A Brief History of History (Indiana UP, 2023), acclaimed historian Jeremy Black seeks to reinvigorate and redefine our ideas about history. The stories we tell about the past are a crucial aspect of all cultures. However, while the traditional storytelling process—what we think of as "history" in the proper sense—is useful, it is also misleading, not least because it leads to the repetition of bias and misinformation. Black suggests that the conventional idea of history and historians is constructed too narrowly, as it fails to engage with the broad nature of lived experience. By focusing on a singular idea or story within the history being explored, we fail to understand the interconnectivity of the everyday experience. A Brief History of History challenges accepted norms of the historical perspective and offers a view of human history that will surprise many and (perhaps) infuriate some. But above all, it is a history of historians written for this moment in time, a time when the traditional Eurocentric approach to history now appears wholly inappropriate. Charles Coutinho, PH. D., Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history. He has written for Chatham House's International Affairs, the Institute of Historical Research's Reviews in History and the University of Rouen's online periodical Cercles.

Central Europe has long been infamous as a region beset by war, a place where empires clashed and world wars began. In The Middle Kingdoms: A New History of Central Europe (Basic Books, 2023) Martyn Rady offers the definitive history of the region, demonstrating that Central Europe has always been more than merely the fault line between West and East. Even as Central European powers warred with their neighbors, the region developed its own cohesive identity and produced tremendous accomplishments in politics, society, and culture. Central Europeans launched the Reformation and Romanticism, developed the philosophy of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, and advanced some of the twentieth century's most important artistic movements.

Education shapes lives - but how is this journey shaped by race, colonialism, and migration? Join us as we navigate the establishment of school systems in the British Caribbean post-Emancipation to the increasingly diverse classrooms of mid-20th century Britain. We're enlightened by the insights of Deanna Lyncook, a fellow podcaster and PhD student, whose research colors our understanding of Caribbean life and education abroad.We trace the racial and religious underpinnings of education in the anglophone colonies and unpack the challenges that newly-migrated British Caribbean students faced in the UK, from policies that hindered their academic success to the resistance and activism that these hurdles sparked within the Caribbean community. We also spotlight the unsung heroes: parents, educators, and activists who fought for an improved educational experience for Caribbean youth in Britain. Their story, alongside the enduring challenges faced by these students, continues to resonate today. In a world increasingly shaped by movement, understanding the interplay between education, history, and migration is more crucial than ever. Join us as we unearth an essential chapter of Black British and Caribbean history. Deanna Lyncook is a PhD student in History at Queen Mary University of London. Her research takes a transnational approach to the experiences of West Indian children in the British education system in Britain and its Caribbean colonies, in the second half of the 20th Century. She is the founder host of the weekly podcast The History Hotline where she discusses events and individuals that have shaped Black history in Britain and the Caribbean. She co-organised a Black British History Conference funded by the Institute of Historical Research, Queen Mary University and Northwestern University. She has curated an oral history exhibition at the Museum of Methodism and has also worked on historical research projects for the Society for Caribbean Studies, the University of Leeds, BBC Radio London and the Times Radio. She is also a coordinator for the Young Historians Project, that works on research projects to document neglected aspects of Black British History.

Convincing evidence that the Egyptian, Sumerian, and Dogon civilizations were founded by aliens from the Sirius star system who are now ready to return• Updated with 140 pages of new scientific evidence that solidifies the hypothesis that the KGB, CIA, and NASA attempted to suppress• An awe-inspiring work of research that calls for a profound reappraisal of our role in the universe• Over 10,000 copies sold in its first two months of release in BritainPublication of The Sirius Mystery in 1976 set the world abuzz with talk of an extraterrestrial origin to human civilization and triggered a 15-year persecution campaign against Robert Temple by the KGB, CIA, NASA, and other government agencies. Undaunted, however, Temple is back, with 140 pages of new scientific evidence that makes his hypothesis more compelling than ever.Many authors have speculated on the subject of extraterrestrial contact, but never before has such detailed evidence been presented. Temple applies his in-depth knowledge of ancient history, mythology, Pythagorean physics, chaos theory, and Greek, to a close examination of the measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which was built to align directly with the star Sirius. He concludes that the alien civilization of Sirius and our own civilization are part of the same harmonic system, and are destined to function and resonate together. His findings warrant a profound reappraisal of our role in the universe.Robert Temple is a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, the Egyptian Exploration Society, the Royal Historical Society, the Institute of Classical Studies, and the Institute of Historical Research. He is the author of nine books, including Conversations with Eternity and The Genius of China. Most recently he and his wife, Olivia, published The Complete Fables of Aesop to international acclaim.
