Greg Jenner is joined in 16th-Century Mexico by Dr Amy Fuller and comedian Jen Brister to learn about Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés and his translator Malintzin.In 1521, the powerful Aztec empire was brutally conquered by the Spanish, led by the ambitious and fanatical Hernán Cortés. After a falling-out with his boss in Cuba, Cortés disobeyed orders and led an expedition party into Mexico. He was helped in his conquest by local peoples who bore a grudge against the Aztecs, chief amongst them the woman who became his translator: Malintzin. A skilled linguist, Malintzin was given to Cortés upon his arrival in Mexico, but after gaining her freedom was central to Cortés's success. The two even had a son together.This episode tells the story of Cortés and Malintzin before, during and after the conquest, exploring how an Indigenous woman came to translate for a conquistador. From Malintzin's murky childhood to Cortés's desperate attempts to impress the king of Spain, via the rumours that he killed his first wife and the complicated politics of Mexico, we examine these two intertwined lives. If you're a fan of bloody conquests, Indigenous histories and women surviving at any cost, you'll love our episode on Cortés and Malintzin.If you want more from Jen Brister, check out our episode on Emma of Normandy. And for more Latin American history, listen to our episodes on the Aztecs and the Columbian Exchange.You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.

In this episode, I speak with Jen Brister and Georgia Takacs, the founders of All Our Relations, an not for profit organisation dedicated to providing essential support to families in Gaza. We delve into the origins of All Our Relations, the challenges they face, and the importance of long term solidarity. Jen and Georgia share their personal experiences, the harsh realities on the ground, and what long term solidarity REALLY looks like.Key Takeaways:All Our Relations focuses on providing individualised support to families in Gaza, addressing their specific needs for survival and fostering a sense of agency.The situation in Gaza is dire, with aid being blocked and people facing extreme hardship, trauma, and financial exploitation.True solidarity involves more than just donations; it requires a commitment to long term support, discomfort, and a willingness to challenge our own privilege and complicity.Palestine is a liberation movement that is freeing us, demanding an up leveling of our awareness, a reorientation of our priorities, and a recognition of our interconnectedness as human beings.We must resist the narratives of powerlessness and engage in critical thought, amplify the voices of those in Gaza, and support initiatives that provide direct assistance and long term solutions.Episode Highlights:[00:03] The inspiration behind All Our Relations and providing individualised support to families.[00:07] The current situation in Gaza, including challenges with aid distribution and the psychological warfare experienced by Gazans.[00:21] The concept of long term solidarity and recognising privilege and imbalance.[00:26] Palestine as a leveler, a catalyst for self-development, and seeing our complicity and interconnectedness.[00:32] The power of community, taking action, and the importance of resisting numbness.[00:48] Connecting with families individually and the value of human connection.About the Guests:All Our Relations:https://www.instagram.com/_allourrelationsWebsite: ⁠https://allourrelations.co.uk/Jen: https://www.jenbrister.co.uk/Georgia: https://georgiatakacs.com/Episode Links:Sponsor a Family: ⁠bit.ly/donatetoAOREnd Credits:Connect with Megan:Instagram: ⁠@‌HigherLove_withMegan⁠Website: ⁠www.higher-love.com⁠⁠.This episode was written and recorded by me and produced by Lucy Lucraft (http://lucylucraft.co.uk )If you enjoyed this episode please leave a 5* rating and review.

Greg Jenner is joined by Professor Elizabeth Tyler and comedian Jen Brister in early medieval England to learn all about Queen Emma of Normandy. Emma was wife to two English kings – Aethelred and Cnut – and mother to two more, Harthacnut and Edward the Confessor. She was a key player in the complex politics of 11th-century England, and symbolised the overlapping English, Norman and Scandinavian identities at play in England even before the Norman conquest of 1066. This episode traces Emma's life from her childhood in Normandy, through her marriages to the English Aethelred and Danish Cnut, and into her final years as mother to the king. Along the way, it explores Emma's political savvy, and the messy family relationships that shaped early medieval English history.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

In this week's Changes Focus we are zooming in on parenting. Whether you are a parent yourself or not, we have all been parented in some way and many of us spend time around people who are parents. We therefore all have experience of parenting and the huge effect it has on our lives. It is no surprise that many of our guests on Changes choose becoming a parent as the biggest change of their adult life. In this hilarious and heartwarming episode, author Zadie Smith gives her profound thoughts about why having children has changed her outlook on freedom, Annie's husband Toddla T talks about his ADHD and how this affects his parenting, comedian Jen Brister gets into the difficulties of talking about porn with kids and comedian and host of the ‘Parenting Hell' podcast, Josh Widdicombe, remembers his misguided thoughts about labour and gets real about the reality of being a father.

Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with hilarious comic and writer JEN BRISTER! The RESURRECTION edition! Below will be the original writeup for this episode which originally aired October 1st 2020. This one's a Resurrection - a version of the podcast which you've surely heard before but if not, the format will make a lot of sense once you're listening... Basically Jen is brought back to life from the previous appearance, and comes back with loads more answers to different questions. Crazy fun! Even if you've heard it before, it's WELL worth a re-up.

She draws on this in her comedy with millions of views on instagram of her hilarious observations about mothers and their relationships with their children. Jen is currently touring her show The Optimist described by the Guardian as “expertly calibrated crabbiness”, “no one rages against the world better”.

Her sell out show ‘Meaningless' can be streamed on Amazon Prime.

Why has such a large swathe of the population started plunging into freezing-cold water, in a country whose climate is pretty obviously ill-suited to wild swimming, or arguably any sort of swimming away from a spa resort? Jen Brister might seem, at face value, an unlikely candidate to ask. In her critically-acclaimed stand-up she has never been noted for suffering fools – or fads – gladly. Yet amid the bedlam of the past two years, as the mother of young twin boys suddenly finding herself a full-time nurse, teacher and a lot of other jobs she never signed up for, Jen has found refuge in the unlikely setting of the sea off Brighton, where she lives. Armed with the unusual combination of wetsuit and microphone, she takes us on a personal odyssey in this unique comedy special, which sees her shuttle between the stage and the less familiar performance space of the deep ocean. In a counterweighted series of stand-up segments and waterbound philosophical passages, Jen tries to piece together what it is about (sometimes dangerously) cold water that has helped reunite her with her sanity. Swimming in the elements promotes mindfulness, enhances our sense of self, and allows us to think our thoughts with a clarity that is often elusive. But what does a comedian do with this enhanced self-awareness? With her customary sharpness of tongue – admittedly, a little mellowed by all the wholesome exercise – and precision of thought, one of the most exciting comedians in the country finds waves of inspiration both on dry land and in the milieu she has started to regard as a second home. Actually, maybe a first home if the kids get any noisier. Written and performed by Jen Brister Produced by Lianne Coop An Impatient production for BBC Radio 4
