Podcasts about Flanders Fields

In the heart of every shadow that plagues our communities, from the silent cries of the trafficked to the silent battles of addiction, We Fight Monsters stands as a beacon of hope and defiance. Born from the shared experiences of those who've faced the abyss and emerged to tell the tale, our organization is a testament to the power of resilience and the strength of unity. We are the ones who navigate the night to bring back the lost, who stand in the face of evil not with weapons, but with the unwavering belief in redemption and recovery. Ben is a daddy to eight (sometimes ten), grandparent to one, humanitarian, fighter of evil, bringer of hope, formerly addicted, alcoholic and homeless. He's also the owner of BlackRifle Co, a data intelligence and digital media agency not to be confused with the coffee company of similar name, and co-founder of two non-profits—We Fight Monsters and Flanders Field—that help people in some of the worst places in America and the world. Ben loves sharing that his wife Jess can drive, load, and fire a M18 Hellcat, a WWII tank destroyer. He’s also the only crackhead ever invited to CIA headquarters. When they’re not in South Memphis helping others rebuild their lives after addiction, Ben and Jess can be found in rural Georgia where they live with their family.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Storylines, the voices of Canadian World War One soldiers, sharing their stories of the front lines. You'll hear these veterans talk about poison gas attacks, shellfire, the mud, the air war, and even the food.   The stories come from interviews with World War One veterans done for the CBC program Flanders Fields which first aired on November 11, 1964. Also, a story from Montreal about a century-old Catholic church that faced a dilemma over what to do with its bells.After the bell tower was damaged, the church faced the prospect of losing bells that had rung out for generations during worship services, weddings, and funerals. Instead, the choir director at Sacré-Coeur-de-Jésus found a way to preserve them, ensuring they will continue to resonate with the congregation and community for years to come.Produced and reported by Simon Nakonechny and originally aired on The Sunday Magazine. Hear the Soldiers of WW1 Speak was produced by Craig DessonStorylines is part of the CBC Audio Doc Unit

In this special segment, "Three Good Things," we delve into the true origins of Memorial Day, a day deeply rooted in American history and marked by profound significance. Contrary to popular belief, the first Memorial Day observance took place on May 1, 1865, in Charleston, South Carolina, where thousands of freed African Americans honored fallen Union soldiers. We also explore the poignant legacy of John McCrae's poem "In Flanders Fields," which gave us the poppy as a symbol of remembrance. Join us as we reflect on the sacrifices made by soldiers and the enduring pain of those they left behind.

When the poem, Flander's Field by John McCrae, written about a battle during World War 1 is read at Memorial Day ceremonies, most people miss the second sentence because the reader normally gets choked up after the first sentence. Here is a reading of the poem by AP's Lisa Dwyer.

Fr. Eric Nicolai preached today November 11: at the 11th hour, the 11th day, the 11th month in 1918, the bugle sounded to announce the ceasing of all hostilities. Today we remember the fallen. Now Poppy is emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem "In Flanders Fields" written by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae.  In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row,  That mark our place; and in the sky  The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.  We are the Dead. Short days ago  We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie  In Flanders fields.  Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.  If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow  In Flanders fields.

Arming Ourselves With Poetry, Film & Discussion on Memorial Day: 1917  Memorial Day is here. Sarah and Jennie urge Screen Cares listeners to respect the extraordinary bravery and sacrifice of all armed forces and their families by choosing to seek civil discourse rather than looking for an enemy among us. By thoughtfully screening 1917, we are reminded that there is a real human cost in war and that as articulated in Amanda Gorman's optimistic poem, “The Hill We Climb,” America is “not broken but simply unfinished.”  1917 (2019) - IMDb For those who are Deaf or hard of hearing, please visit this link for the transcript of this episode of Screen Cares: Episode Transcript Special Thanks to all who have served and lost in armed conflicts. We see you, your families, and your sacrifices.  Episode Host: Sarah Woolverton-Mohler Co-Host: Jennie Ziverk Carr                 Screen Shares Rating:  1917 is an excellent Family Screen to share in any experiences and memories that an intergenerational viewing may stir up, as well as a (cautionary) Little Screen to help provide older adolescents with the context that violence in real life is very different than that often portrayed in action movies, and that Memorial Day celebrations come at a cost.  Screen Sparks: Use our Screen Sparks to discuss 1917 and the incredible significance of Memorial Day as you consider the use of war movies, depiction of violence and truth with those you care about: There are many types of violence– slapstick/comedy, domestic, sci-fi/superhero, horror/torture, war and more. Do you feel that all violence should be treated the same? Do war movies make you feel more or less optimistic about the human condition? In an emotional moment in 1917, Blake is mortally wounded and asks Schofield if he was dying. Schofield says,  “yes, I think you are.” How do you know when to share the truth and when to gloss it over?

In Flanders Fields by lotuseaters.com

Sometimes, it's good to remember that even amidst some of the most horrific moments in history, it's still possible to create something of beauty and significance.

We'll look back on Veteran's Day with a special focus on "In Flander's Fields" by John McCrae and poppies. 

During his recent visit to the battlefields of the Western Front, Adam visited the medieval town of Ypres (modern day Ieper), and sat down with the chairman of the Last Post Association, Benoit Mottrie. The Last Post Association is an independent voluntary, non-profit organisation who founded the Last Post Ceremony back in 1928. It is still responsible for this unique daily act of homage to this very day. The mission of the Last Post Association is to honour and remember the soldiers of the British Empire who gave their lives during the Great War. The daily Last Post Ceremony seeks to express the lasting gratitude which we all owe to the men who fought and fell for the restoration of peace, and the independence of Belgium. Every evening just before 8pm, the local Police halt the traffic passing through the Menin Gate to the east of the town centre. For a brief moment the modern world is brought to a stop, as the solemn Last Post Ceremony allows us to reflect on the men who passed through this gate on their way to the deadly battlefields of the Ypres Salient. The cost of war is all too evident as we stand under the Menin Gate where 54,000 names to the missing are recorded. Men who have not had the honour of a proper military burial. No grave for family to visit and tend. We pause and remember their sacrifice. In the words of Field Marshal Plumber, pronounced during the unveiling of the monument in July 1927 “ HE is not missing, he is here”. These men still lie in Flanders Fields. We owe it to them to remember their ultimate sacrifice they made for our freedom. Lest we forget.   Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Benoit Mottrie Editor: Kyle Watkins Investigative Consultant: Adam Holloway

Sykes-Picot: voor velen in het Midden-Oosten klinkt het als een vloek. Logisch ook, want in dat verdrag werd na de Eerste Wereldoorlog de hele regio met één pennenhaal hertekend volgens de koloniale wensen van het Westen. Heel wat conflicten die de streek tot vandaag teisteren, zijn toen ontstaan. De gast van deze week, historicus Pieter Trogh, weet er alles van. Hij maakte er voor het In Flanders Fields-museum een tentoontstelling over.

Listen to "new" or lesser-known poems by Poet Warrior John McCrae, best known for his poem In Flanders Fields.

The red poppy came to symbolize our war veterans in 1921. It is a wildflower poppy. During World war one, the fields of Flanders in western Belgium saw 4 years of unrelenting battle. On today's Garden Bite, I share the poem of Flanders Field, the history of Memorial Day and where to get these poppies. Garden Bite remembers our Fallen...

The first official Memorial Day was observed on May 30, 1868, three years after the end of the Civil War. On Memorial Day, and always, we honor the military personnel who have given their lives in the service of their country. We keep them in our hearts. We do not forget. (Monday's episode didn't show up in some feeds, so here is the rebroadcast of "Flanders Fields," the Memorial Day podcast leading into the hiatus. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Memorial Day with friends and family. All the best to you over the summer - enjoy! I'll keep you updated as to the progress on my book about personal finance and home economics for young people. If you have any good tips, please send them my way!

Laurens en Stefan gaan verder. En ze zijn niet alleen. Ze zijn in Flanders Fields om Gent Wevelgem na te beschouwen en dat doen ze bij de boys van de Polderblues. Florian Vermeersch, Brent van Moer en ook Viktor Verschaeve schuift even aan. De schitterende putsch van Higuita en Carapaz in Catalonië wordt uitgebreid besproken en Viktor mag uitleggen hoe hij die dag zijn moraal behield. Ook de orgie van Lefevre komt aan bod want Florian heeft nog geen corona gehad en Brent wel. De angst in het peloton is nog steeds groot aangezien de koersen waar het om gaat voor de deur staan. Laten we hopen dat hij gespaard blijft want de strijd om de World Tour plekken is gaande. Tactiek, vriendschap en pech binnen Lotto Soudal komen aan bod maar hoe zit het nou met die sirene? Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast... Meer verhalen, achtergronden en film?

En vanvittig nedkørsel sikrede Matej Mohoric årets første monument, Milano-Sanremo.

Mattias Skjelmose imponerer i Katalonien og Tim Merlier vandt De Panne foran Dylan Groenewegen. Og så fortæller Tour-boss Christian Prudhomme, hvorfor Touren starter i Danmark om 100 dage, ligesom du kan høre Jørgen Leths begejstring for at verdens største cykelløb kommer til Danmark.

What You'll Get From Today's Show On November 11th, 1918 the guns finally fell silent on the Western Front with the signing of a cessation of hostilities by the belligerents fighting in World War I. The significance of that event started a worldwide adoption of the day for remembrance and celebration that continues today over 100 years later.     Resources Related to the Topics Discussed in Today's Episode The British Imperial War Museum. https://www.iwm.org.uk/     The Canadian War Museum. https://www.warmuseum.ca/    Arlington National Cemetery. https://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/Explore/Tomb-of-the-Unknown-Soldier    A short history of the poem In Flanders Fields. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/military-history/history-heritage/remembrance-ceremony/4.html    If You Want to Support The Podcast You can help others find the podcast by leaving a positive review on whatever podcast player you're listening to it on.

Chris Wiers speaks about the events that occurred in Iraq on October 6th, 2005.

This week - our last episode of the season brings all the horrors of World War I with the additional terror of an unexplained pandemic! In this episode Nicola and Hannah discuss the gendered expectations of soldiers returning from WWI with disabilities, especially facial injuries, and the expectations of women in their lives. There's a brief Robin Williams-diversion, and then a discussion of the work of American artist Anna Coleman-Ladd in restoring confidence to some soldiers with her delicately crafted copper masks that served to mimic the men's pre-war faces. Thanks to everyone who listened through this season of our podcast, we appreciate every single one of you. We will be back sometime in 2022, hopefully recording together and not being hit by things falling off the desks we're recording under. Anything for slightly better audio quality.  Thanks to Dorian (here's his twitter) for his reading of “We Are the Maimed” and “In Flanders Fields.” Dorian is a queer-, disability- and trans- rights activist and artist based in Melbourne. He also has a kofi: https://ko-fi.com/sindesiecle This episode contains descriptions of war injuries and disability, mental illness, suicide and suicidal ideation, murder, facial injuries, pandemics and illnesses, comas, domestic violence and murder by intimate partners, and swearing. Why do we warn people about the swearing? We just don't know.  This episode also contains discussion of medical issues. It is not intended as advice. Do not take medical advice from two historians who live with their parents, or any strangers online. Please speak to a doctor or other medical professional if you have questions about Covid-19 or vaccination.  All efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information presented in this podcast however with the nature of historical research, there may be mistakes or inconsistencies. Nicola does give the wrong name for one of the writers of the 100 Stories - it's Laura, not whatever the hell she said. She knows too many people with the surname James. Sorry Laura.  For more information on disabled and mentally ill returned servicemen after WWI, check out Shattered Anzacs by Marina Larsson, The 100 Stories by Bruce Scates, Rebecca Wheatley and Laura James, The Last Battle by Bruce Scates and Melanie Oppenheimer, or  The Cost of War by Stephen Garton. For more info on Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance check out A Place to Remember by Bruce Scates.  For the whole political issue of Anzac in Australia, check out What's Wrong With Anzac, or Anzac's Long Shadow.  Penny Marshall's film Awakenings does not appear to be streaming in Australia. Piracy is wrong, but the film is 30 years old so good luck finding it regardless.  Footage of Anna Coleman Ladd working in her mask clinic is available in this article: https://allthatsinteresting.com/anna-coleman-ladd.    For more information on the podcast, go to womenofwarpod.com or follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram @womenofwarpod for updates, sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes shenanigans.

In honor of Memorial Day and the men and women who have sacrificed their lives in the armed forces, this special episode of Strategies & Consequences War is an anthology of excerpts from poems and prose about war. In On War, Clausewitz writes about war as a science that can be analyzed impersonally. This perspective is contrasted with Mccrae's In Flanders Fields and Komunyakaa's Tu Do Street. These poems reflect lived experience in brutal conflicts and the effects on combatants and civilians alike.

This episode is the oral version of my essay on Memorial Day 2021. It discusses the origins of Memorial Day as “Decoration Day,” a remembrance of Civil War dead that has its roots in the Appalachian decoration day ritual of decorating ancestors' graves. The episode concludes with a recitation of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem “Decoration Day.” The episode begins with a discussion of last year's essay on Memorial Day, centered around the poem "In Flanders Fields." That essay can be read here: https://westof98.substack.com/p/decoration-day-2020-poppies The referenced story in The Bitter Southerner, "Grave Concerns" by Jennifer Crossley Howard, about the decoration day traditions that persist today in the Deep South: https://bittersoutherner.com/grave-concerns-southern-decoration-day-tradition The text of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Decoration Day" poem: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/05/a-memorial-day-poem-by-longfellow-from-the-atlantic-june-1882/239636/ As a special bonus, "Decoration Day" from the Drive-By Truckers, with Jason Isbell singing lead. It's not about the holiday, but it tells the story of a violent feud between Southern families and the veneration of ancestors and death plays an integral role in the story: https://open.spotify.com/track/3jemxe3JnL0QXCDh1DdEgV?si=557308f4a3f74290
