Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Dobbs

Seguimos con la segunda parte de la audioserie titulada "Érase una vez el Este", en ese viaje y aventuras y desventuras de nuestros protagonistas a la isla caribeña en la que se encuentra Haití. Como ya sabéis esta serie o audioserie consiste en varios capítulos en los que se mezclan la realidad y la ficción y en los que hablamos de hechos históricos y de sucesos que están de plena actualidad. Y este proyecto de "Érase una vez el Este", es idea, como ya sabéis, de dos grandes amigos de LA BIBLIOTECA DE LA HISTORIA, como son Juan Lamas, malagueño, historiador, escritor y guionista, y Verónica, barcelonesa, actriz y cantante amateur y gran apasionada por la historia. Ellos son los artífices de esto y les agradezco su trabajo. *En este programa tenemos de nuevo el placer de contar con la voz de nuestros grandes amigos Julio Caronte y Doc Salvaje del podcast Relatos Salvajes. Os dejo con el noveno capítulo titulado "Más allá del jardín". En fechas tan señaladas como la Navidad, es mandato ético acordarse de los menos favorecidos. Haití es el país menos favorecido de toda América, ya lo sabéis. Más allá del que fuera el Jardín del Caribe que lucha por brotar, existen intereses maquiavélicos que no quieren que renazca. Intereses mundanos, vulgares, intereses económicos y políticos. ¿Pero qué hacer cuando la naturaleza también conspira para matarte? Al principio de la serie recordamos cómo los colonos de la Corona de Castilla supervivientes acabaron abandonando la parte occidental de la isla de Santo Domingo y si el territorio quedó libre para su explotación por los filibusteros, fue precisamente por la dureza del clima, con periódicos huracanes, enormes montañas, selvas intransitables e insalubres, y los temblores de tierra, los más crueles y destructivos terremotos que zarandeaban los edificios como si fueran de juguete. Haití se está muriendo. A finales de 2024 la misión policial y militar keniata fracasa en imponer el orden a la fuerza. Pero hay gente en Haití que no se rinde, que lucha por construir una vida. Para ellos, Feliz Navidad, y Feliz Navidad a todos. Este es un Podcast producido y dirigido por Gerión de Contestania, miembro del grupo "Divulgadores de la Historia".

Michael Harrison engages in a conversation about the importance of local media with legendary Western Massachusetts journalist and author, G. Michael Dobbs.

Puntata a cura di Jacopo Bulgarini d'Elci e Livio PacellaAbbiamo registrato questo episodio letteralmente quando in America erano aperte le urne delle presidenziali 2024, il 5 novembre. Una giornata che ci sembrava ideale per parlare di una serie che ha segnato forse il punto di non ritorno del racconto dark della politica e del potere: House of Cards. Simboleggiando perfettamente il tumultuoso sviluppo della “tv complessa" del nostro tempo. E mostrandone al contempo anche i limiti. Prima produzione autonoma di una piattaforma streaming, House of Cards (Netflix, 2013-2018, 6 stagioni) si basa sull'omonimo romanzo britannico di Michael Dobbs (1989) e sulla serie TV britannica (1990). David Fincher firma i primi episodi, Kevin Spacey e Robin Wright (entrambi premiati con i Golden Globe) ne sono le star.“1 classico in 2” è uno dei format del podcast di Mondoserie: conversazioni a due voci su serie che hanno segnato l'immaginario collettivo.Parte del progetto: https://www.mondoserie.it/Iscriviti al podcast sulla tua piattaforma preferita o su: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mondoserie-podcast Collegati a MONDOSERIE sui social: https://www.facebook.com/mondoseriehttps://www.instagram.com/mondoserie.it/ https://twitter.com/mondoserie_it https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwXpMjWOcPbFwdit0QJNnXQ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mondoserie/

Few things in life, let alone politics, are truly unprecedented. When it comes to the American presidency, Donald Trump did make history as the first former chief executive to be charged with a crime. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg got a grand jury to indict Trump on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records. Trump's case comes half a century after President Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon, preventing the latter from facing any legal consequences for the Watergate scandal. While Ford hoped to put the "long national nightmare" in the past, the pardon deprived the country of establishing any precedent for prosecuting rogue presidents. But no two cases will ever be the same, and in this episode, historian and Watergate chronicler Michael Dobbs discusses the major similarities and differences between then and now.

Plenty of former MPs, advisers and political journalists have tried their hand at writing fiction, and they often turn to the drama and skulduggery of Westminster for inspiration. So what makes a good political novel? Matt Chorley speaks to Conservative peer and House of Cards author Michael Dobbs, who says if he wrote a sequel he would introduce new, younger characters.Plus the first installment of the Times Radio Columnists Festive Focus Group, led by former Number 10 pollster James Johnson. Matt's regular panellists look back on a dramatic year for the Conservative Party. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Host Ailbhe Rea takes a closer look at the shadowy world of the whips — the sinister party enforcers whose job it is to keep MPs in line.Michael Dobbs, the creator of "House of Cards" and one-time chief of staff to Margaret Thatcher, lifts the lid on the murky world of whipping that inspired his novels and the hit TV dramas, while Jacqui Smith, a chief whip to Tony Blair, describes how she did it in the era of Blair/Brown plotting. Playwright James Graham — whose hit play "This House" brought the dark arts of the whips' office to London's West End — discusses the hung parliament of the 1970s, the most legendary period in whipping history, and Wendy Morton discusses her unique experience as chief whip to Liz Truss.

Michael Dobbs was a very successful politician in his youth. He was labelled as the Tories baby faced hit man. But then he turned to fiction but still writing about politics .... House of Cards was his invention. After the loathsome amoral Francis Urquhart he came up with Thomas Goodfellowe MP. Around 20 years ago Michael met David Freeman and they started their conversation musing on how party discipline was achieved in Westminster.  Around that time he had said of the Tory government  'We have a flat pack Cabinet that threatens to collapse every time you turn the telly on' Maybe nothing changes!

Will Vladimir Putin see missile strikes against his forces in annexed Ukrainian regions as missile launches against Russia? If so, will he retaliate with nuclear weapons? This scenario is just one reason Cold War historian Michael Dobbs is warning that the conflict in Ukraine “presents perils of at least equal magnitude” to the Cuban Missile Crisis. And Putin's thinking is evidence of a greater cultural issue that affects us all: the conviction that I have a right to what I want, no matter the consequences for those who disagree.

The lessons of Watergate and the story of Richard Nixon's epic fall from power are as relevant as ever. Former President Donald Trump's ongoing campaign to undermine public confidence in our elections, after trying to remain in power despite decisively losing the 2020 race, raises parallels as well as important differences with Nixon's coverup of the Watergate scandal. In this episode, journalist and historian Michael Dobbs, author of King Richard: Nixon and Watergate -- An American Tragedy, discusses what led to Nixon's unraveling. But while Nixon was discredited across the political spectrum as he resigned in disgrace, Donald Trump now rules the Republican Party despite having been impeached (and acquitted) twice.

Michael Dobbs, author and former longtime reporter for The Washington Post, discusses his new book "King Richard: Nixon and Watergate - An American Tragedy" with award-winning author and journalist Evan Thomas.

Michael Dobbs was Moscow Bureau Chief for the Washington Post. He has written seven books. King Richard and several others deal with presidential crises. For King Richard he listened to the Nixon tapes at the presidential library in Yorba Linda for a first hand account of how the coverup that forced the President's resignation unfolded. The book zeroes in on the first 100 days of 1973 after the January 20th second inaugural. This was the timeframe when the fate of the Nixon presidency was sealed. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/james-herlihy/message

Ruth speaks to the creator of House of Cards, Michael Dobbs

This week: Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been directed to begin detaining and deporting all unauthorized immigrants. We’ve talked about sanctuary cities, but what about jurisdictions where law enforcement does report to ICE? We look at the very different approaches taken by Vermont and New Hampshire. Later, we visit the front lines of a border war between competing casino developments. Plus, we meet New England’s other NEXT. What Roles Are States Playing in Immigration Enforcement? A case in front of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court this past week could determine how much local law enforcement is able to cooperate with federal immigration officials. We've been covering stories like this in so-called sanctuary cities, but this case applies to entire states. The court will decide whether local law enforcement officers are authorized to detain a person solely at the request of ICE. WBUR’s Shannon Dooling has been following the case. A woman lies motionless in her bunk at the Strafford County Jail in Dover, NH. This part of the jail is designated for women detained by ICE who face no criminal charges, only federal immigration violations. Photo by Emily Corwin for NHPR The directive from the Trump White House to immigration enforcement to begin detaining and deporting all unauthorized immigrants has stirred up a series of legal questions around our region. The new policy marks a change from Obama-era directives, which directed agents to prioritize deporting individuals convicted of serious crimes. But how do immigration agents find undocumented but otherwise law-abiding immigrants? It turns out there are big differences between states, including in neighboring Vermont and New Hampshire. We speak with with New Hampshire Public Radio’s Emily Corwin and Vermont Public Radio’s Kathleen Masterson. Is a Casino the Answer to Springfield’s Woes? “Springfield, Massachusetts” and “resort casino” aren't words you expect to see in the same sentence. But if you live in the area, you've been hearing about a casino coming to town for years. On three blocks in the city's struggling downtown, MGM Resorts is building that casino with a hotel, movie theater, skating rink, and other amenities, set to open in fall 2018. An artist rendering of the MGM Springfield resort casino, with hotel rotunda in front view. The original plan included a glass skyscraper. Image courtesy of MGM Springfield. Construction began two years ago, but the political groundwork was laid back in 2011, with two separate events. That June, two tornadoes ripped through the area, causing 17 miles of damage, including right in the heart of downtown. Officials there wondered what to do to rebuild. Then, in the fall of that year, hoping to recapture some of the gambling dollars that had been leaving Massachusetts for years, the legislature passed the Expanding Gaming Act, allowing for three casinos to be built, including one in the western part of the state. After a lengthy process, Springfield won that bid. MGM got the contract, and broke ground in March 2015. But Connecticut's two federally-recognized Indian tribes, long the beneficiaries of those Massachusetts customers, got worried about losing their market share. Connecticut officials were also concerned, since through a tribal gaming compact the state receives 25 percent of the gaming revenue at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. So the the Mohegans and Mashantucket Pequots formed a partnership with Connecticut’s help to build a new casino in the Hartford metro area. The vacant Showcase Cinemas in East Windsor, Connecticut is the site where Connecticut’s Mohengan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes want to build a casino, 14 miles south of MGM Springfield. Photo by Henry Epp for NEPR This February, the tribes announced they had chosen a site off Interstate 91 in East Windsor — just 14 miles south of the MGM casino in Springfield. East Windsor is on board, but the tribes need a new law to allow them to operate the casino. And proposals are currently tied up in the state legislature. Whether the East Windsor casino goes forward or not, the big question for the city of Springfield is whether the massive development will give the city the economic boost it sorely needs. We visit the MGM construction site and chat with MGM Springfield president Mike Mathis, as well as city councilor and casino booster Melvin Edwards. For a more critical perspective, we sit down with Mike Dobbs, managing editor of the local newspaper The Reminder, who has been covering the Springfield project over the years; and WNPR business editor Harriet Jones, who covers the Connecticut casino proposal. The Other NEXT John Dankosky interviews host Elaine Bourhan on the set of New England’s Xtrordinary Talent at the studios of Focus Springfield. Photo courtesy of Focus Springfield Just northwest of the casino site, a friendly storefront houses the local cable access TV station, Focus Springfield. MGM now owns the building, and Focus is getting evicted. They have to move by November. It just so happens that one of the shows that tapes there is also called NEXT. In their case, it stands for “New England’s Xtrodinary Talent.” (In our case, if you’ve been wondering, it doesn’t stand for anything.) Host Elaine Bourhan, who goes by Elaine B, is a local musician who also scouts talent for the show. We speak with her about some of her favorite guests on the program. Below: interviews and a performance by Western Massachusetts locals Charles Neville and son Khalif Neville on New England’s Xtrodinary Talent. While we were on set, Elaine also interviewed us! We’ll let you know when that’s posted. About NEXT NEXT is produced at WNPR.
