Private companies and state governments have long exploited the 13th Amendment to create a profitable agribusiness system that runs on prison slave labor. “If you look at the history of agriculture in the United States, it's built on dispossession, it's built on enslavement,” says Joshua Sbicca, director of the Prison Agriculture Lab, and the legacy of that violence lives on in the big business of “agricarceral” farming today. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host and former political prisoner Mansa Musa speaks with Sbicca about the prisoners farming our food, the parties profiting from their exploitation, and the ongoing fight to uphold the basic rights and dignity of incarcerated workers.Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on BlueskyLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

Hello and welcome to the History of the Germans: Episode 194 – The Fuggers of Augsburg, which is also episode 10 of Season 10 “The Empire in the 15th Century”Jakob Fugger had been dubbed the Richest Man Who Ever Lived, but there are many more contenders, my favorite being an African, Mansa Musa, the ninth Mansa of the Mali empire whose generous gifts during a visit to Mecca in 1324 triggered a currency crisis.That is something Jakob Fugger would never have done. He never was a flamboyant banker who impressed his contemporaries with lavish displays of wealth. He was actually fairly dull. If anyone in the firm of Fugger was flamboyant, it was the chief accountant. So if Jakob is a bit of a pale shadow, the story of what happened in the world of European Finance between 1480 and 1520 is anything but boring. Within just 40 years the heart of the banking industry moved from Florence and Venice where it had held sway since it was invented and moved north, into a medium sized Swabian city, Augsburg.That is as if JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley closed their doors and in their stead some local players from Scandinavia or Mexico took over the financing of the Global economy. I am not kidding, something like that really happened back in the late 15th century.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

In this compelling episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by the insightful Luke Pepera, broadcaster, anthropologist, and author of "Motherland," as they delve into the rich tapestry of African history that often goes unrecognised. Together, they challenge the pervasive myths surrounding the continent's past, particularly the notion that Africa's significance began only with European contact. Shattering Misconceptions:Luke passionately argues against the portrayal of Africa as a mere backdrop to European narratives, highlighting the continent's profound historical relevance and its role in global dynamics long before colonisation.He emphasises the importance of recognising Africa's diverse civilisations, such as the Nubians and the Mali Empire, which played pivotal roles in trade and cultural exchange.Exploring Ancient Civilisations:Listeners are introduced to the remarkable achievements of ancient African societies, including the Kushites and the wealth of the Mali Empire, showcasing their contributions to art, science, and trade.Luke recounts the story of Mansa Musa, whose legendary wealth and influence reshaped global perceptions of Africa during the 14th century.Matriarchal Societies and Oral Traditions:Discover the fascinating matriarchal structures in ancient African societies, highlighting figures like Queen Amanirenas of Nubia, who defied Roman power and exemplified female leadership.Luke also draws connections between African oral traditions and contemporary cultural expressions, such as rap battles, revealing the enduring legacy of storytelling in African communities.This episode is a powerful reminder of Africa's rich and complex history, urging listeners to broaden their understanding beyond the confines of colonial narratives. Luke's insights invite us to appreciate the depth of African culture and its lasting impact on the world stage.

Although it's the cradle of our species, and a land as rich in culture as it is legendarily rich in resources, retellings of African history often place their focus heavily on the transatlantic slave trade. While this is valuable, too narrow a focus can make it easy to lose sight of how incredibly powerful, interconnected, and respected African people have been within the fabric of global history. This week, Danièle speaks with Luke Pepera about medieval Africa, what it would've been like to find yourself in one of the most powerful empires of the Middle Ages, and the famous pilgrimage of Mansa Musa.You can support this podcast on Medievalists.net Patreon page, which sells this digital map of medieval Africa: https://www.patreon.com/medievalists/shop/map-of-medieval-africa-36747?source=storefront

The Ghana Empire, also known as Wagadou or the Kingdom of Ghana, was a powerful West African empire that flourished from the 6th or 7th century CE until 1235 CE. Located in the western Sudan savannah region (modern southern Mauritania and Mali), it became wealthy through its control of trans-Saharan trade routes and gold production, earning it the nickname "Land of Gold". The empire's capital, Koumbi Saleh, was a large city with an estimated population of 15,000 to 20,000 people, featuring wells, irrigated fields, and significant structures like a mosque and public square. At its height between the 9th and 11th centuries CE, the Ghana Empire's influence extended across a vast territory, but it eventually declined due to factors such as drought, civil wars, and the rise of rival powers like the Amoravids and the Mali Empire. 00:55:06: Where was the Ghana empire?00:01:50: What made Ghana great?

Capitalism or Contentment? Today, we explored the incredible story of Mansa Musa, the richest man in history, whose wealth was unmatched. But his legacy wasn't just about gold—it was about generosity, knowledge, and uplifting his people. His journey challenges us to reflect: Is true success measured by the riches we accumulate or by the impact we leave behind? Are we chasing wealth for the sake of more, or are we seeking contentment and purpose in how we live and give? Let this lesson inspire us to redefine what it means to be truly wealthy.

Bonjour tout le monde! In this week's Conflicted, Thomas and Aimen are going continental as they continue their survey of Africa, with the first of a two part series on French West Africa, aka La Françafrique! France's West African colonial possessions are relatively unknown in the English speaking world, but from Chad to Senegal, their histories are fascinating, and remind us of the disturbing continued tentacles of colonialism on the continent… In this first episode, Thomas and Aimen take us back to the precursors to colonial West Africa, from the Ghana Empire of antiquity, to the resplendent reign of Mansa Musa and his Malian empire renowned as the richest in the world… They then look to the arrival of the French and the ‘civilising mission', before examining how France have continued to subjugate and exploit many West African countries through a neo-imperial control of their monetary policies. New Conflicted Season 5 episodes will be coming every two weeks, but if you want to have your Conflicted fix every single week, then you'll have to join our Conflicted Community.

Mansa Musa's wealth is a thing of legend. It's impossible to know exactly how much he was worth, but he himself spread rumours that gold grew like a plant within the Mali Empire. When he embarked on a storied pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324, he gave away so much gold in Egypt that the value of the ore depreciated. But there was much more to the ninth Mansa of Mali than his great wealth - under his reign the empire prospered as a trade hub between West Africa and the Mediterranean World and a centre of Islamic culture and learning.Dan is joined by Sirio Canós-Donnay, an archaeologist specialising in the pre-colonial states of West Africa. She charts the course of the Mali Empire from its founding by the legendary warrior-king Sundiata Keita, to the zenith of its power under Mansa Musa.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.We'd love to hear from you - what do you want to hear an episode on?

On Aug. 9, 2014, Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO. Police left Brown's lifeless body in the hot sun for four hours, plainly demonstrating the contempt of law enforcement for the local community. The righteous rebellion that followed in Ferguson shook the nation and the world, turning the Black Lives Matter movement that had begun following the earlier murder of Trayvon Martin into a global mass movement. Ten years later, some things have changed, but most things have not. Reforms have been passed at various levels concerning the power and accountability of the police. Yet the culture of impunity and the reality of racialized police violence as a daily occurrence in the US continues. In this special episode of Rattling the Bars, Taya Graham and Stephen Janis of Police Accountability Report join Mansa Musa for a look back on the past decade of attempts to stop police violence, and a discussion on why justice for Michael Brown and so many others continues to elude us.Studio Production: David Hebden, Cameron GranadinoPost-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

Jeff Bezos's fortune is vast, but he isn't the richest person in history. That title belongs to Mansa Musa, whose wealth, even adjusted for inflation, surpasses Bezos, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates combined. Ruling the Mali Empire in the 1300s, Musa controlled vast gold and salt reserves and his immense generosity caused a decade-long gold recession in cities like Cairo, Medina, and Mecca. He transformed Timbuktu into a global center of trade, culture, and learning. Despite his monumental impact, Mansa Musa's story is largely forgotten outside of Africa. In this episode, I discuss the forgotten story of Mansa Musa and the transformative power of his wealth and visionary leadership.

The 2024 US elections are just three months away, and with polls showing a tight race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, the outcome may come down to voter turnout—and data show that there is a direct correlation between income level and voter turnout. As Katherine Hapgood recently wrote in an article for the Washington City Paper, "Of the roughly 35 million Americans living at or below the $50,000 threshold widely accepted as 'low income,' just about half reported participating in any of the past five presidential elections, according to an analysis of 2020 U.S. Census data. By comparison, 86 percent of Americans with incomes of $150,000 or higher reported casting a ballot during the same time period." Many poor and working-class people understandably feel that the electoral system does not represent them and their interests, but the results of elections continue to directly and indirectly impact their lives and communities. In this special #election2024 episode of Rattling the Bars, TRNN editor-in-chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with RTB host Mansa Musa and David Schultz, a criminal reform and social justice advocate, about why elections still matter for all of us, and how poor and working-class people, and people impacted by the prison system, can navigate the fraught world of electoral politics to get what they and their communities need.Read the transcript of this episode here.Studio Production: Cameron Granadino, David HebdenPost-Production: Cameron GranadinoAudio Post-Production: Alina NehlichHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

The lived reality of the racist prison system can get lost in the swirl of facts and figures surrounding mass incarceration. Frigid cells in winters and sweltering conditions in summers; the volatility and capriciousness of hostile guards and correctional staff; food barely fit for human consumption; isolation from one's community and deprivation from the routines and small freedoms that made up one's identity prior to incarceration. The trauma of such an experience is undeniable, and extends far beyond prison walls—from overpoliced communities subjected to the constant presence of police surveillance and terror, to the families and relationships put under the strain of separation. Dr. Da'Mond Holt returns to Rattling the Bars for the final installment of a two-part interview, this time speaking with host Mansa Musa and his friend Lonnell Sligh, about their respective experiences behind bars, and the implications of the prison system as a deliberate system of mass trauma affecting Black and other working class communities of color.Studio Production: David HebdenPost-Production: Cameron GranadinoJoin this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrmm_7RDZJeQzq2-wvmjueg/joinThe Real News is an independent, viewer-supported, radical media network.

#ghana #folktale Today we are back in the book of Ghanaian folklore written down by W.H. Barker. In the first story, we learn how to bull yourself out of a court case. In the second, we learn why Rams live at home while the leopard lives in the forest. And in the final story, we learn about biting the cat that feeds you and why Leopards are like nascar drivers.

Video by Headliner Listener Shoutout: Bamako Mali. I'm still not sure how someone in the city found my podcast, but I'm glad that they listened to at least one episode. Bamako is the capital of the country of Mali, which is the legacy of the Malian empire. This city has seen the likes of Mansa Musa who traded salt for gold and then messed up the whole gold market when he went on hajj and flooded it with gold gifts. People have lived in the city since the paleolithic era. Of course it was also colonized by France during the ransacking of Africa by the European powers. It did make me smile when they dropped French from their official languages. And so today, I'll be attempting the main language Bambara. To the listener in Bamako I say Aw ni ce and Aw ni su Thank you and goodnight Photo: "Wahoo the Leopard" by CarolineG2011 is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sandman-stories/message

The US has one of the highest prisoner recidivism rates in the world: over 70% of incarcerated people who are released from prison in the US will be rearrested within five years of their release date. That is not an accident. Our system of mass incarceration sets people up to fail as they leave the prison system and try to reintegrate into society. That is why organizations like Hope for Prisoners in Nevada are working to provide returning citizens with the resources and support they need to rebuild their lives and maintain their freedom. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, Mansa Musa speaks with Jon Ponder, founder and CEO of Hope for Prisoners, about why returning from prison is so difficult for so many, and what it takes to “empower the formerly incarcerated and their families to create a successful future.” Studio / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-pod-rtbSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/nl-pod-rtbLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews
In the list of the world's all-time wealthiest people, one name regularly tops the charts: Mansa Musa. Ruling a kingdom that stretched across West Africa, the 14th-century Mali emperor is best known for undertaking a glittering pilgrimage towards the holy city of Mecca. Yet, speaking to Emily Briffett, Hannah Cusworth argues Mansa Musa left a much larger legacy than that. The HistoryExtra podcast is produced by the team behind BBC History Magazine.
