If you grew up in the Western world, it's entirely possible you've heard of a singular Silk Road used for trade between two major entities, Europe and China. And maaaybe Marco Polo. But the reality is so much more deeply textured and layered with transitions of food, spices, ideas, and cultures along along a wide array of travel and trading routes across Asia. My guest this week, Anna Ansari, speaks to this through her new cookbook-cum-memoir Silk Roads: A Flavour Odyssey with Recipes from Baku to Beijing. In this thoughtful and rich cookbook, Anna celebrates her Iranian-American heritage with the world's most storied trade routes through 90 recipes and essays. Anna is an Iranian-American writer, cook, and former international trade lawyer whose work explores the intersections of food, family, and history. Her work as appeared in Pit Magazine, Eaten, and Fillerzine. She lives in London with her husband, son, and cat. In today's conversation, Anna talks about her own journey into writing Silk Roads and researching culinary narratives across Asian trade routes, the expansive history of food and ideas travelling along the Silk Roads, and why the apple isn't so quintessentially American as people would think.  Learn More From Anna!

Throwin it back!!!Join Me and this weeks guest Rafael. Rafael reached out to me after friend of the show Micheal Swan suggested to him we should get in contact. Rafael has been studying the Bible and the works of Marco Polo after reading an article about a dinosaur bone being found with still preserved tissue on it. If what science tells us is true and the dinosaurs lived millions of years ago why did they find bones with tissue still on them? Well Rafael is here to tell us what he has found in his research and I can say he has found that dinosaurs may have been around much much later then the science would suggest. This episode is just the first of many on this topic coming in the future!If you like what Rafael has to say and want to hear more of what he talks about you can find his podcast at: https://open.spotify.com/show/3byIIM3oZ8E9DAp0328qdn?si=nsICTsVXRCu5vTzgmc-u8wMy Links:Youtube: https://youtube.com/@midwestmythospodcast?si=f5qXsiJuuWv4-hqEIf you would like to be a guest on the show contact me on the submission form at: linktr.ee/midwestmythospodcast or contact me on Instagram @midwestmythosThank you for all the support!

År 1271 lämnade den sjutton år gamle Marco Polo sin hemstad Venedig och påbörjade världshistoriens kanske mest berömda resa till Khubilai khans hov i Kina. Vid hemkomsten avfärdades hans reseskildringar som rena fantasierna – själv hävdade Polo att han bara hade berättat hälften.Men vem var egentligen Marco Polo? Hur kom det sig att han begav sig till Kina? Och hur kunde just han ha en sådan speciell relation med det mäktiga riket i Öst?Wikipedia säger sitt om Marco Polo. Hosted on Acast.

Sverige spelade en mer aktiv diplomatisk roll i Japan och Kina än i Europa under andra världskriget. Eftersom Sverige aldrig hotades militärt av Japan kunde landet föra en självständig utrikespolitik gentemot Tokyo och upprätthöll aktiva diplomatiska relationer i regionen.Medan bomberna föll över Nanjing i Kina och striderna rasade i Stilla havet, växte Sveriges legation i Tokyo till ett av landets mest betydelsefulla diplomatiska uppdrag. Sveriges främsta intressen i Östasien under 1930-talet var ekonomiska och diplomatiska. Export, import och handelsförbindelser – med produkter som järnmalm, trävaror, industrivaror ‒ var viktiga motiv. Och Sverige fortsatte att upprätthålla goda diplomatiska förbindelser med Japan under hela kriget.Detta är det första av två avsnitt om Sverige och Östasien under andra världskriget i podden Historia Nu, där programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med historikern Ingemar Ottosson, aktuell med boken Sverige och andra världskriget i Östasien.Trots att kriget mellan Japan och Kina hade pågått i flera år när andra världskriget bröt ut i Europa 1939, har det länge stått i skuggan av de europeiska och nordafrikanska krigsskådeplatserna. Detta trots att vissa forskare hävdar att andra världskriget i praktiken började redan 1931, med den så kallade Manchuriska krisen. Då iscensatte japanska officerare den så kallade Mukdenincidenten genom att spränga en del av järnvägen i Manchuriet och skylla på kinesiska trupper. Händelsen blev förevändningen för en snabb japansk ockupation av hela regionen, där man 1932 upprättade marionettstaten Manchukuo med den avsatte kejsaren Puyi som formell ledare.När Nationernas Förbund, med stöd från bland annat Sverige, fördömde Japans agerande, svarade Japan med att lämna organisationen. Detta blottlade det internationella samfundets oförmåga att stoppa aggressionspolitik och markerade början på ett skifte i världspolitiken där stormakter agerade alltmer ensidigt.Sex år senare, i juli 1937, utbröt strider vid Marco Polo-bron nära Peking efter en dispyt kring en försvunnen japansk soldat. Den inledande skottväxlingen mellan japanska och kinesiska trupper eskalerade snabbt och blev upptakten till det andra kinesisk-japanska kriget – en konflikt som skulle komma att bli en av 1900-talets mest förödande. Manchuriet blev därmed upptakten till Japans territoriella expansion, medan striderna vid Marco Polo-bron markerade övergången till ett öppet storkrig i Asien.Sveriges neutrala status under kriget gav dess diplomater ett unikt handlingsutrymme i Östasien. Legationen i Tokyo tjänade inte bara som förbindelsepunkt mellan Sverige och Japan, utan också som ett diplomatiskt nav för andra länder som saknade representation i området. Svenska diplomater vidarebefordrade exempelvis post och förhandlade om fångutväxlingar mellan stridande länder, vilket gav Sverige ett viktigt, om än diskret, inflytande i regionen.Bildtext: Japanska soldater ur 29:e regementet intar stridsställning vid Mukdens lilla västra port under Mukdenincidenten 1931 – en händelse som markerade början på Japans ockupation av Manchuriet.

Giulio Busi"Il cantico dell'umiltà"Vita di San FrancescoMondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itIlletterato, sprovveduto, sognatore, Francesco d'Assisi è il «santo» per eccellenza. Ma è anche, nell'opinione comune, un personaggio fuori dalla storia, relegato nella sfera del misticismo e dell'utopia. Come mai, allora, la Chiesa decide di innalzarlo agli altari a soli due anni dalla morte, dopo un processo di canonizzazione tra i più brevi nella vicenda millenaria del cristianesimo? Francesco ribelle e antisistema o docile strumento nelle mani del potere ecclesiastico? Giulio Busi passa al vaglio le cronache dell'epoca, s'immerge nel mare sconfinato dell'agiografia, e poi dipinge un Francesco inedito, vigoroso, a tratti mite, più spesso provocatorio e intransigente. Quando è costretto, infatti, sa obbedire e accettare l'autorità. Ma è una scelta che gli costa, e da cui, ogni volta, riparte per inseguire la verità. Mentre attorno a lui la società scopre, e soffre, l'economia del mercato e del profitto, Francesco accoglie i lebbrosi, si unisce ai mendicanti, rivendica per sé un posto tra gli ultimi. Nei primi tempi, i benpensanti lo dileggiano, lo considerano un folle. Intanto, però, il suo carisma attrae sempre più seguaci. Nella primavera del 1212 Chiara d'Assisi, nobile per nascita, lascia i propri beni e la sontuosa casa paterna per seguire l'esempio di Francesco. È l'inizio di una consonanza spirituale che durerà tutta la vita. Ai «fratelli» che hanno cominciato a raccogliersi attorno al Poverello si aggiungono le «sorelle minori», ispirate da Chiara. Nel giro di pochi anni, il successo del movimento è travolgente. E i dubbi del fondatore diventano sempre più angosciosi. La Chiesa ha bisogno di un Ordine francescano forte, efficiente, solido. Ma lui riuscirà a difendere povertà e umiltà, a mantenere la semplicità delle origini? Al termine della sua esistenza, così breve e intensa, Francesco è malato, e deluso. Sembra sconfitto, ma nel momento più buio detta il Cantico di Frate Sole, splendido, gioioso inizio della letteratura italiana. Ringraziamento è l'esordio, inno la conclusione. Francesco lo sa, lo ha sempre saputo. La sorgente è una sola, un unico fine ha il creato. E ora il suo Cantico è libero di percorrere il vasto mondo. Che con lui se ne vada il dolore, assieme a lui si diffonda la lode.Giulio Busi (Bologna, 1960) è professore ordinario alla Freie Universität di Berlino e presidente della Fondazione Palazzo Bondoni Pastorio. Ha scritto di mistica ebraica, di storia rinascimentale, della filosofia di Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Collaboratore di lungo corso delle pagine culturali del «Sole – 24 Ore», ha uno stile letterario inconfondibile, incalzante e, al tempo stesso, documentatissimo. Per Mondadori ha pubblicato: Lorenzo de' Medici (2016), Michelangelo (2017), Marco Polo (2018), Cristoforo Colombo (2020), Giulio II (2021) e Gesù, il ribelle (2023), Simboli del pensiero ebraico (2024) e Giovanni, il discepolo che Gesù amava (2024).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

L'émission 28 minutes du 01/10/2025 Elle a quitté la fac pour le front : récit d'une jeune résistante ukrainienne“Volia”, publié aux éditions Grasset est un récit de guerre et d'humanité, une ode à la résistance ukrainienne. À 32 ans, Anastasia Fomitchova, politologue ukrainienne et docteure en sciences politiques, a déjà vécu mille vies. Engagée dans la résistance ukrainienne aux côtés des Hospitaliers en 2022 et paramédic volontaire dans la guerre du Donbass en 2017, elle raconte “un carrousel de l'horreur, de bras et de jambes à moitié arrachés qui pendent”. Pendant la contre-offensive de 2022, elle est blessée par un obus, ce qui lui fait perdre 30 % de son audition et l'encourage à reprendre ses travaux universitaires au Canada. Elle a écrit cet ouvrage pour raconter le combat de tout un peuple, celui de millions de civils engagés dans l'armée ukrainienne. Aujourd'hui, elle vit à Kiev où elle enseigne le droit international humanitaire et travaille sur une future intégration de l'Ukraine à l'Union européenne. Si “volia”, mot ukrainien, est intraduisible en français, tous les Ukrainiens le connaissent : un mélange de volonté et de liberté. Mexique : un an après, pourquoi une telle popularité pour la présidente Claudia Sheinbaum ?Un an après son accession au pouvoir, la présidente mexicaine Claudia Sheinbaum présente 79 % de popularité. Un pourcentage dont tous les chefs d'État rêvent. Cette nouvelle présidente, féministe, doit sa popularité à sa personnalité mais aussi à sa politique économique et celle de son prédécesseur, son mentor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Depuis 2018, le salaire minimum, qui n'avait pas évolué en 30 ans, a augmenté de 135 % pour atteindre en moyenne 390 euros. Dans ce pays de 130 millions d'habitants, le nombre de personnes pauvres est passé de 52 millions à 39 millions en 7 ans. Pour autant, la moitié des Mexicains vivent en dehors du système et sans protection sociale, et un tiers de la population n'a pas les moyens de se soigner. L'insécurité reste le principal problème du Mexique. Le nombre de disparitions ainsi que le nombre de féminicides ont augmenté sous son mandat. La présidente mexicaine est aussi sous la pression de Donald Trump qui menace d'augmenter les droits de douane en novembre 2025 si rien n'est fait par rapport au narcotrafic. Elle lui a déjà donné des gages en envoyant 10 000 forces de sécurité le long de la frontière entre les deux pays. Enfin, Xavier Mauduit revient sur l'inauguration, en Chine, du pont le plus haut du monde et nous parle d'un autre pont, le Marco-Polo. Marie Bonnisseau s'intéresse à une nouvelle tendance au travail : retirer ses chaussures en arrivant au bureau. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.

Imagine if you will that you're a 15 yr old boy, you've never met your father, and your mom died soon enough after your birth you don't remember her. You're raised by an aunt and uncle until one day your dad Niccolo and your Uncle Maffeo roll back into town and he's like "Hey I'm your Dad. Let me tell you about a guy named Kublai and a place called China." Two years later at 17, your dad decides it's time to return to China and the court of the Great Khan and you're coming along. After a dicey first leg of the trip where you may or may not have killed your first man, then almost due of Tuberculosis, you find out your Dad and Uncle have an all access pass for pretty much anything once you're within the Khan's lands, ANYTHING. You meet the Great Khan and he takes a shine to you and for the next 17 years you work for the Khan traveling throughout his empire as a representative under his protection. Marco would travel all over China the return to regale the Khan with stories of his own land in only the way that Marco could. He had a level of access to Kublai's Mongol Empire thats almost impossible to wrap your head around, but we're gonna try.

This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Anuvab Pal and Tiff Stevenson for a global sweep of OH GOD NOT ANOTHER WEEK LIKE THIS. At least we have a fun top story...

Do the kids today still play Marco Polo?

Recently, Philip Pilkington and David Dusenbury published a couple of papers and an article on the long story of China's intellectual history with the West. A story that extends beyond Marco Polo, and has far more breadth and interchange in pre-modern times than most would suspect. David Dusenbury is an Associate Professor of Humanities at the University of Florida, author of three well-regarded books of religious history, and a frequent writer and thinker on the history of ideas. Last month, our duo sat down to comb over what they'd learned in the project for the Danube Culture podcast. We're bringing you their exchange as a bonus this week.

Have you ever wondered how your last name connects to your cultural identity? In this episode, hosts John Viola and Patrick O'Boyle, alongside co-host Dr. Marcella Martin, dive into the deep ties between Italian heritage and personal identity. The conversation takes a powerful turn with guests Janice Cenzoprano and Ralph Colasanti from the Cooley's Anemia Foundation, who guide us through the genetic story of thalassemia. Together, we trace its Mediterranean roots, its links to malaria zones, and even its surprising historical connections to explorers like Marco Polo. Through a moving firsthand account, we hear what it was like to grow up with thalassemia in its early days of treatment — from demanding regimens to the life-changing arrival of oral chelators. Along the way, we highlight the often-unsung community heroes: organizations like Sons of Italy and UNICO, whose unwavering advocacy and support have been vital in this journey. We also revisit the grassroots philanthropy that helped pave the way for today's progress, celebrating figures like Joe Polari and Pat Acasella whose tireless efforts fueled awareness and research. Patient advocacy and breakthroughs in genetic therapy point toward a hopeful future, where advanced treatments could transform patient care. Join us for an episode rich with history, resilience, and community spirit — a testament to how cultural identity and collective action can shape both personal journeys and medical advancement.   THEIR SOCIALS Instagram: @cooleysanemia TikTok: tiktok.com/cooleysanemia Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CooleysAnemiaFoundation X: @cooleysanemia Threads: @cooleysanemia LinkedIn: Cooley's Anemia Foundation   THEIR WEBSITE: Thalassmia.org NOTES FROM THE FOUNDATION: Our Thalassemia Care Walk Fundraiser is ongoing throughout the year.

Greg Jenner is joined in 13th-Century Venice by Professor Sharon Kinoshita and comedian Ria Lina to learn all about medieval traveller Marco Polo and his adventures in China.Born into a family of merchants, in 1271 a teenage Marco set out for the court of the Mongol emperor Qubilai Khan with his father and uncle. They would not return to Italy for nearly a quarter of a century. In the service of the emperor, the Polos saw all manner of extraordinary things – including the Mongols' amazing imperial postal service and diamond-hunting eagles in India.Imprisoned by the Genoese on his eventual return, Polo spent his time in prison writing his Description of the World with the Arthurian romance author Rustichello, a travelogue describing his exploits in the East and the wonders he had seen. This episode explores Polo's extraordinary life, the decades he spent travelling in China and beyond, and the fascinating account he wrote on his return.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

Life on a Nebraska farm is mostly corn, cows, and the occasional existential crisis—until the barn starts playing the world's creepiest game of “Marco Polo.” Kylie hears her name echoing from the hayloft, climbs up expecting her twin, and instead meets a pint-size specter in dusty overalls who clearly missed the memo about private property. Soon, the whole family's enjoying midnight footsteps, doors with minds of their own, and newborn puppies receiving ghostly playdates. Throw in children's clothes walled up like some HGTV: Exorcist Edition and dreams of a dad-turned-ax-murderer, and you've got a farmhouse fixer-upper only the undead could love.

It's a confusing time to travel. Tourism is projected to hit record-breaking levels this year, and its toll on the culture and ecosystems of popular vacation spots is increasingly hard to ignore. Social media pushes hoards to places unable to withstand the traffic, while the rise of “last-chance” travel—the rush to see melting glaciers or deteriorating coral reefs before they're gone forever—has turned the precarity of these destinations into a selling point. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz explore the question of why we travel. They trace the rich history of travel narratives, from the memoirs of Marco Polo and nineteenth-century accounts of the Grand Tour to shows like Anthony Bourdain's “Parts Unknown” and HBO's “The White Lotus.” Why are we compelled to pack a bag and set off, given the growing number of reasons not to do so? “One thing that's really important for me as a traveller is the experience of being foreign,” Schwartz says. “I'm starting to realize that there are places I may never go, and this has actually made other people's accounts of them, in the deeper sense, more important.”This episode originally aired on June 13, 2024. Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“The New Tourist,” by Paige McClanahanThe “Lonely Planet” guidebooks“The Travels of Marco Polo,” by Rustichello da Pisa“Of Travel,” by Francis Bacon“The Innocents Abroad,” by Mark Twain“Self-Reliance,” by Ralph Waldo Emerson“Travels through France and Italy,” by Tobias Smollett“Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown” (2013-18)“The White Lotus” (2021—)“Conan O'Brien Must Go” (2024)“It Just Got Easier to Visit a Vanishing Glacier.
