As Italy advances into Egypt, Britain quietly prepares its first major offensive — Operation Compass — in this tense buildup episode. We explore the friction between Churchill's impatient push for victory and General Wavell's insistence on realistic desert readiness, while massive reinforcements arrive: Matilda tanks, armored regiments, artillery, and supplies all vital to a bold strike through the Enba Gap. You'll also see how Italy's disastrous invasion of Greece shifts British priorities — from Egypt to the Balkans — with far-reaching consequences. This is the quiet storm before Operation Compass, where logistics, terrain, and leadership clash in the desert — setting the stage for one of WWII's most consequential early battles.

Rome began as a pagan, Latin-speaking city state in central Italy during the early Iron Age and ended as a Christian, Greek-speaking empire as the age of gunpowder dawned. Everything about it changed, except its Roman identity. This was due to a unique willingness among Romans to include new people as citizens, an openness to new ideas, and an unparalleled adaptability that enabled Romans to remake every aspect of their society in ways that made it stronger and more resilient. Romans, who believed that their city was originally settled by exiles and captives, found a balance between the embrace of new people and ideas and a conservative attachment to the core features that had traditionally defined Roman society. Roman history is a story of 80 generations of Romans who deftly challenged the rules governing their lives—and usually did so without overturning the institutions that made them safe and prosperous. In an age when people around the world are increasingly looking to charismatic leaders promising to scrap the rules governing modern states, Rome shows why states that want to endure should be repelled by the sudden, unpredictable jolts such characters provide. To explore this topic with us is today’s guest, Edward J. Watts, author of “The Romans: A 2000-Year History.” Rather than collapse, Watts shows how Rome endured, evolved, and redefined itself for two thousand years—from the Punic Wars to the Crusades, and from Augustus to Constantine to Charlemagne.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Richies, we're baaaaaaaack!Kinda, Sorta. Unless you've been in a coma since August, you might have noticed that Rich and Weekly came to an end.

The Azzurri collapse at home. San Siro stunned. Fans furious. And Italy? Completely OUTPLAYED by Norway.
If you've ever stared at a “competition worthy” image and thought, “Is this actually any good, or am I just emotionally attached and mildly delusional?” then this episode is for you. In this one, I'm lifting the lid on what really happens inside a judge's head when your prints hit the panel: the mindset you need, the mistakes we see over and over again, and the tiny details that can quietly kill an otherwise beautiful image. We'll talk blown highlights, grubby greys, over sharpening, dodgy mounts, vignettes turned up to eleven, and why blindly following the latest photo trend might actually sink your chances. We'll also get into mentors, titles, paper choice, time pressure (my personal kryptonite), and why the only real failure in competitions is not to enter at all. If you're thinking about qualifications, print comps or you just want to finish your images to a higher standard, grab a drink, have a listen, and then go and do something brave with your work.

Glenn Flickinger and Todd DePastino discuss the VBC's WWII Tour of Italy in October 2026, where they will spend 14 days following the path of the Allied forces through one of the most grueling campaigns of World War II. Todd and Glenn will also talk with Italian Campaign expert, 45th Infantry Division Historian Professor David D'Andrea, who will also be joining us on our trip. We'll trace the course of the Italian Campaign, beginning with Operation Husky, the massive Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943 that opened the road to Europe's soft underbelly. From the hard-fought landings at Gela and Scoglitti to the urban battles in Palermo and the mountainous defenses near Messina, Sicily tested the courage and coordination of American and British troops. From there, the campaign moved to mainland Italy, first at Salerno, where American soldiers fought to hold their beachhead against fierce counterattacks, and then up the rugged spine of the Apennines. We'll visit key battlegrounds of Cassino, where Allied forces waged a costly struggle for control of the ancient Abbey of Monte Cassino, and Anzio, where troops endured months of shelling in a desperate bid to outflank German defenses. The campaign culminated in the liberation of Rome on June 4, 1944, two days before D-Day in Normandy. Our trip will visit these storied sites—Catania, Syracuse, Agrigento, Palermo, Salerno, Cassino, Anzio, and Rome—accompanied by historians and local guides who will help us connect the landscape to the history that unfolded there. Along the way, we'll also enjoy the beauty that drew the world to Italy long before and long after the war: the turquoise waters of the Amalfi Coast, the golden temples of Agrigento, and the ancient beauty of Palermo and Rome. We're grateful to UPMC for Life for sponsoring this event!
When Rome's Emperor Valerian fell into Persian hands, his defeat became one of history's most grotesque legends — a tale of humiliation, torture, and a death said to come by molten gold. | #WDRadio WEEK OF NOV 11, 2025==========HOUR ONE: When it comes to receiving the death sentence, history has given us several ways to go about the execution. Hanging, firing squad, gas chamber, being stoned to death or burned at the stake… but you have to be some whole new level of “hated” by the people if your death blow comes by way of molten gold being poured down your throat. (Death By Golden Throat) *** Typically, when you hear the phrase “high speed chase”, you think of law enforcement trying to catch the bad guys who are in a getaway vehicle. Perhaps after a bank robbery, or after blowing a stop sign and simply refusing to pull over. But have you heard about the time that the police were involved in a high-speed chase up to 100-miles-per hour, trying to catch up to a flying saucer? (The 100mph UFO Chase) *** When the Black Plague arrived at their doorsteps, the villagers were forced to choose between life or certain doom. It's the tragic tale of England's Plague Village – the village of Eyam. (The Black Death Comes to Eyam) *** In the 1800s, women finding themselves “with child” but unmarried, were treated like second-class citizens or worse. And during a time when birth control was limited or even unavailable outside of the rhythm method, what was a girl to do if she found herself in such dire circumstances? Fortunately, there was a woman there ready to help – to take the baby off their hands and give it a good home. Or so everyone thought. (Minnie, The Baby Farmer) *** On frozen lakes near Manitowish Waters, a hooded figure appears to ice fishermen, silently guiding them to the best spots for a catch before vanishing into the winter air. (The Ice Fisherman Ghost)==========HOUR TWO: Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray devised a scheme to get rid of Ruth's husband – and they planned it so well that, okay… actually no. They were so inept they were caught immediately, and even the police publicly called them incompetent. (The Dumb-Bell Murder) *** For over 2,000 years across South and Southeast Asia, trained elephants served as living instruments of execution, crushing condemned prisoners with calculated brutality under the control of their handlers. (Execution By Elephant) *** Before he became a Civil War general, Congressman Dan E. Sickles' scandalous murder trial changed our legal system forever. He said outright that he had killed his wife's lover. So how did he avoid being found guilty of the crime he admitted to committing? (How A Congressman Got Away With Murder) *** In 1150, two children were found near Woolpit in England – they wore strange clothes, spoke oddly, but the most identifiable characteristic for both children was their skin was green. The children themselves were a mystery – but what happened when they grew up? Did they marry? Did they have children? Could there be decedents of the green children of Woolpit living among us today? (Great Grandkids of Green Children) *** In the summer of 1518, a mysterious dancing plague seized the French town of Strasbourg, compelling hundreds to dance without rest for months—some until they collapsed and died—in a frenzy that baffled authorities and remains unexplained to this day. (Dancing Plague)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: “Tom" and "Lena" are in a loving relationship and have a young child together. It sounds like the perfect family – except for one tiny detail about their relationship. Tom and Lena are biological brother and sister. (I Fell In Love With My Sister) *** In Norfolk, England the village of Eccles was slowly gobbled by the rising waters of the sea in the early 1600s. But even today, sometimes during a particularly heavy story, you can see St. Mary's Church mysteriously reappear… bringing with it, the dead buried in the church graveyard who cannot find rest. (The Disappearing And Reappearing Village of Eccles) *** Lory Price and his wife Ethel mysteriously disappeared from Marion, Illinois. But then, sometimes that happens when you are mixed up with the mob or may have learned something you weren't supposed to. (The Vanishing of Lory Price) *** The Catacombs of St. Callixtus in Rome, Italy, hold the remains of sixteen popes, several martyrs, and around half a million Christians, and according to on author, a not-of-this world entity. (The Callixtus Catacombs Entity)==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:“Death By Golden Throat” by Genevieve Carlton for Weird History https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3586qeqk, Rachel Nuwer for Smithsonian Magazine https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/18pu2d9b, and Laurie L.

Jason shares his path from Utah's freestyle community to building a career outside the traditional LA route, and the mindset behind choosing what actually feels right.

The 2026 World Cup is still a year away and the Talking City podcast is already predicting who will score the most goals at the tournament in North America.

He tells Alex James about the prolific striker's immense workload this season - where he could play over 70 games for club and country - and a night of contrasts for Haaland and his City teammate Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was between the sticks for Italy.

Ireland v Australia. Italy v South Africa. Scotland v Argentina. Wales v Japan. How good. Not done with just talking to George Ford straight after his MOTM performance against the All Blacks, Ben Youngs & Dan Cole are back in the For The Love Of Rugby studio to dissect the rest of the weekend's biggest games!
In this high-impact episode of Yachting USA from Yachting International Radio (YIR), host Rick Thomas sits down with world-renowned maritime attorney Michael Moore, Founding Partner of Moore & Company, to dissect the real state of the U.S. and Canadian yachting industry — legally, historically, economically, and environmentally. Together, they unpack why North America lost more than 75–80% of its yacht-building infrastructure, how global competition reshaped the market, and why shipyards like Westport, Delta Marine, Burger Boat Company, and Crescent Custom Yachts remain crucial to the continent's maritime future. They dive into the big questions driving searches worldwide: Can North American yacht building rebound? How does the Jones Act impact superyacht ownership and construction? What role do owners, crew, brokers, and shipyards really play in a healthy industry? Why are class rules, surveys, and maritime law more important than ever? How will American and Canadian yards compete with Turkey, Italy, the Netherlands, and Taiwan? Michael also gives rare insight into his decades-long career — from maritime cases in New York and Saudi Arabia to major work on the Exxon Valdez litigation. His perspective connects global shipping, commercial maritime law, yacht building, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and the real-world economics behind superyachts. You'll also discover how yachts are becoming powerful tools for ocean science through organizations like the International SeaKeepers Society, Project Baseline, and Seabed 2030 — with actionable ways owners, captains, and crew can contribute to ocean data, conservation, and citizen science. KEY TOPICS COVERED Decline of U.S. shipyards (Christensen, Trinity, Palmer Johnson, Northern Marine & more) The resurgence of American builders and refit yards Jones Act realities for large yachts The risks of poor brokerage, bad surveys & misrepresented vessels How maritime law, class, and flag states shape yacht value Why Fort Lauderdale remains the true capital of global yachting How SeaKeepers & Project Baseline are changing ocean science U.S. & Canadian yachting trends in 2025 and beyond ABOUT THE GUEST Michael Moore Founding Partner, Moore & Company Maritime Law Advisor to yacht owners, captains & shipyards worldwide SeaKeepers Board Member • Maritime Industry Leader ABOUT THE HOST Rick Thomas Host of Yachting USA Veteran of 37+ years in North American yacht building, equipment manufacturing & maritime innovation

From 1968 to 1985, a series of lovers' lane attacks happened in Italy, leaving several dead young couples. The killer in this case has commonly been referred to as Italy's Zodiac killer, but frighteningly, this killer had far more confirmed victims than Zodiac. Join Mike and Morf for this second and last episode on the Monster of Florence. Like with Zodiac, the killer was never caught, but there are some very strong suspects, and as you'll hear, there's a mystery within a mystery, as these crimes are somehow linked to a case in which the killer was caught and went to prison.

Jack Welch's binder hit the floor before Michael Bourque had time to react. At just 23, he sat in a Honeywell acquisition review meeting as the “keeper of the numbers,” rifling through a binder he knew didn't contain the EPS detail Welch demanded. When the answer didn't come, Welch “swept his binder off the table, threw it across the room, and got up and left,” Bourque tells us. The moment stayed with him—not only the need to anticipate every question, but the feeling of “how I was treated,” a lesson he carried forward.That early scene captures the intensity of Bourque's 15 years at GE, where he rotated every four months on the corporate audit staff, learned to understand a business model quickly, and moved across countries from Mexico to Italy to Canada. He tells us those experiences became “a massive accelerator” but also showed him what he did not want: senior lives “lived 90 days at a time.”Leaving GE led him into Ocwen, where regulatory pressure mounted immediately. Advisers warned him to “run for the hills,” yet he stayed, tracking cash daily and absorbing public blows from the New York DFS. The experience, he tells us, taught him “how to navigate a crisis and try to keep your cool.”At LendingHome (later Kiavi), he applied that calm to redesign the business around two customer cohorts—first-timers and professionals doing “eight or more” flips a year—and anchored decisions in unit economics. That discipline would shape his leadership at Convera, where he now steers a global payments network and pushes teams to adopt AI tools that “help them… get clarity on that next operational step.”

Welcome to the DMF.I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode I sit down with Sara Alessandrini, who dives deep into the hierarchy of film production and the often misunderstood roles of directors and producers.Sara has met her fair share of people who love calling themselves “director” but shy away from the responsibilities that come with it — and she's not afraid to talk about it. With experience in both Italy and the United States, she's seen firsthand how dramatically different directors can be, and how those differences shape a set.She explains that a true director isn't defined by a title but by vision — the clarity to know what they want and the communication skills to guide an entire team toward that goal. Sara opens up about her film school journey, the early mistakes she made, and how learning every role on set fundamentally changed her approach to directing.Her insights offer a grounded, realistic look at what it actually takes to lead a production. Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker or simply curious about how movies get made, Sara breaks down the challenges, misconceptions, and triumphs of directing with honesty and experience.Join us as she pulls back the curtain on the real work happening behind the scenes — and why knowing your craft inside and out is absolutely essential.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more industry insight and filmmaking wisdom.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:07 - The Role of a Director00:01:23 - The Importance of Understanding Different Roles in Filmmaking00:03:32 - Learning from Mistakes and Gaining Experience00:04:34 - The Decision to Learn All Aspects of Filmmaking00:05:25 - Experiences Working in the Egyptian Theater00:06:42 - The Love for Music Videos00:08:34 - The Birth of 'This is What New Yorkers Say'00:10:30 - Frustrations with the Movie Industry00:15:30 - Leaving the Egyptian Theater and Working with Netflix00:16:10 - The Challenges of Building Safety Standards in California00:17:37 - Frustration with the Response to COVID00:18:11 - Political Interests and Experiences in Rome00:19:18 - Encounter with Dario Argento00:20:35 - Involvement in the Screening of Suspiria00:23:44 - Keeping Updated with Press Conferences During COVID00:24:38 - Discovering and Admiring Cuomo00:26:37 - Desire to Improve Society00:28:21 - ConclusionCheck out Sara's website, where you can learn more about the documentary miniseries and find links to watch it! https://www.thisiswhatnewyorkerssay.com https://www.instagram.com/lasava.alessandrini/

It's World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) and we have prepared a special episode in light of that. In this week's Communicable, Navaneeth Narayanan and Thomas Tängdén host Aula Abbara (London, UK), Guido Granata (Rome, Italy) and Tuomas Aro (Helsinki, Finland) to discuss the phenomenon of AMR in conflict and crisis zones. They elaborate on how difficult conditions and austere environments amplify the spread of AMR, drawing on findings from the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, Syria and other regions. Other topics covered include adapting antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention and control (IPC) practices as well as the need for genuine political will and international collaboration to end conflicts and their exacerbation on AMR.This episode follows the webinar “Beyond the frontlines” organised by ESCMID's AMR Action Subcommittee for WAAW 2025, featuring the same guests, and is available on ESCMID Media.
