Podcasts about Mitford

Jessica was the good Mitford sister. The English aristocrat who fought against fascism in the Spanish Civil War, then came to America and dedicated her life to social justice. According to her biographer Carla Kaplan, Mitford had the fierce, unruly life of a great muckraker. She was a Troublemaker in the best sense of the word. Unlike prudes like Upton Sinclair or Ralph Nader, she was hysterically funny—her voice as distinctive as Jane Austen's or Virginia Woolf's. She understood that bullies are driven by insecurity and paranoia, and she knew exactly how to punch them in the nose with her sharp upper-class English humor. So where are you now, Jessica Mitford? When the left desperately requires a good dose of humor and the right needs to be laughed at?Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Every so often, the sisters return In the 1930s, an aristocratic family in the U.K. became the subject of society pages because of its six sisters, who followed widely divergent paths. The Mitford sisters were Nancy, Pam, Diana, Unity, Jessica ("Decca") and Deborah ("Debo"). Among them, Nancy became a bestselling novelist (Love in a Cold Climate); Diana married a British fascist leader; Unity moved to Germany and became close friends with Hitler; Deborah, the Duchess of Devonshire, presided over a country estate; and Jessica relocated to the U.S., joined the Communist Party and became an accomplished journalist (The American Way of Death). Two new books examine the lives of the Mitford sisters, and both authors will be at the Desmond-Fish Public Library in Garrison on Dec. 13. Carla Kaplan is the author of Troublemaker: The Fierce, Unruly Life of Jessica Mitford, and Mimi Pond wrote and illustrated Do Admit! The Mitford Sisters and Me. They will be joined by Constancia "Dinky" Romilly, 84, Decca's daughter, who lives in Philipstown. Her father, Esmond Romilly - a nephew of Winston Churchill - was killed during World War II, and she was raised in Oakland, California, by her mother and stepfather, Robert Treuhaft. "Every 20 years, there's a Mitford boom," Dinky says. "The new generation is finding out about this pretty remarkable family. My attitude about what was remarkable about my parents was completely different from Swinbrook [the Mitford home in England], and the whole growing up isolated in the country and the fascist sisters." She points out that she was never a Mitford. "I didn't grow up in a Mitford household," she says. "My mother wasn't a recognized personality [as a writer] until after I left to go to college. I grew up in the Treuhaft household; I was Dinky Treuhaft." Along with The American Way of Death (1963), an exposé of abuses in the funeral industry, Decca was known for Hons and Rebels (1960), a memoir of her eccentric upbringing. After moving to California, she became a political activist; her husband was a civil rights lawyer. Dinky says that, as a child and teenager, "I knew that there was this weird family over there [in England] that had titles - the honorable this and the lord that. But when I was growing up, we lived in a lower-middle-class neighborhood in Oakland. My parents didn't have much money. My life was going to school and taking care of my brothers after school." Of the recurring Mitford mania, Dinky says that, "in the past, I have not liked it. It has been annoying to be constantly badgered." But she says she is pleased with the two new books. Troublemaker follows Decca from her country girlhood to her life as an American communist and later journalist dubbed "queen of the muckrakers" by Time. Do Admit! is a graphic memoir that follows author Pond's girlhood obsession with the family's blue-blood lifestyle. "It's exciting to see books coming out that cover all of my mother's life, starting as a Mitford, then her life as a Treuhaft, and then a Mitford again," Dinky says. "The books are both deeply researched. You know, you don't research your own mother. You just grow up with that mother, and then, after you leave home, you watch. My mother was an activist until the day she died. I learned and relearned a lot of things from both books." Kaplan's book focuses on Jessica Mitford "as a person who very consciously changed from an aristocrat, a person of privilege, to a worker in the movements of her time, to a radical activist," says Dinky. It documents "the change in this woman and how she negotiated it, and how that fit in with the history of the period." Pond's book is about the six sisters, "how they developed, how they grew, what their relationships were among each other," Dinky says. "Another good reason to read Mimi's book is that it's clear that my mother was her favorite!" A third book will be available at the event: a newly released paperback edition of Decca's edited letters, of w...

Get Carla's Book here: https://carlakaplan.com/troublemaker-the-fierce-unruly-life-of-jessica-mitford.html   The second youngest of the famously beautiful—and brilliant—“Mitford Girls,” Jessica Mitford was brought up by an eccentric English family in the bucolic Cotswolds. She and her sisters were raised to marry well and reproduce their class. Five of them enthusiastically embraced that path and went on to lead glamorous lives that have been the subject of countless books and movies, with more on the way. And then there was Jessica...   Jessica—known as Decca—broke the Mitford mold. At the age of nineteen, she ran away from a world of wealth and privilege to fight fascism in the Spanish Civil War. She survived war; her husband, Esmond, did not, leaving her to raise their then-unborn child alone. Undaunted, Decca became an American Communist and, in mid-life, pioneered a witty and wildly popular style of writing which placed her at the heart of the social struggles of her day. A celebrity in the civil rights, free speech, antiwar, and prison abolition movements, she relentlessly pursued both fairness and joy, injecting humor into all her political work and encouraging the activists she influenced to do the same. She left her mark on celebrities too, including famed baby doctor Benjamin Spock and best friend Maya Angelou. Decca's anti authoritarian irreverence had an impact that was broad and profound.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

In this podcast is an interview with Dr. Carla Kaplan, author of the biography "Troublemaker: The Life and Times of Jessica Mitford." The conversation centers on the extraordinary life of Jessica "Decca" Mitford, one of the famous (and famously eccentric) Mitford sisters.   Jessica "Decca" Mitford was an aristocratic British rebel who became a formidable American left-wing activist and muckraking journalist. Born into the famously eccentric Mitford family—where her sisters included a Nazi sympathizer and a fascist—Decca rejected her life of privilege to join the Communist Party in the United States. As the author explains, Decca was a "biographer's gift": fiercely principled, incredibly hard-working, and gifted with a brilliant sense of humor that she used as a powerful tool for activism. Her training in the Communist Party, particularly on the West Coast, taught her to listen to marginalized communities, shaping her into a highly effective and empathetic ally in the civil rights movement.   Dr. Carla Kaplan is a distinguished scholar in American literature, women's writing, African American literature, and feminist theory. She holds the Davis Distinguished Professorship in American Literature at Northeastern University and founded the Humanities Center to encourage diversity and interdisciplinary dialogue. Her academic career includes roles at Yale University, the University of Southern California, Wellesley College, and the University of Illinois. Dr. Kaplan also teaches writing through various arts councils and writers' centers.  She earned a Ph.D. in English from Northwestern University.   Get the Book: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/troublemaker-carla-kaplan Dr. Kaplan's Homepage: https://carlakaplan.com/ Greg's Blog: http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/ Pat's Substack: https://patcummings.substack.com/about   JessicaMitford#Troublemakerbiography#CarlaKaplaninterview#Mitfordsisters#DeccaMitford#AmericanWayofDeath#CommunistPartyUSA#muckrakingjournalism#leftwingactivism#biographypodcast#Britisharistocracy#fascistMitfordsisters#DianaMitford#UnityMitford#civilrightsmovement#investigativejournalism#funeralindustryexpose#famouswritersschool#historicalbiography#PatCummings#GregGodels#ZZBlog#ComingFromLeftField#ComingFromLeftFieldPodcast#zzblog#mltoday

Welkom bij aflevering 80 van Royal Tea! Ja, echt 80! Deze week praten Rick en Odilia over alles wat de royal-wereld bezighield:

Everyone's a critic. Especially exposé-writing investigative journalists publishing books about the funeral industry's underbelly. But can we, as funeral directors, face accusations with grace and learn something about ourselves in the process?

RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next of his regular audio described theatre reviews. This week we have the sensational story of the Mitford sister's with 'The Party Girls' at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre with description by Professional Audio Describer Carolyn Smith. About ‘The Party Girls' The glamorous Mitford girls cut a glorious swathe through pre-war high society, amidst the glittering world of debutantes and dukes. But as Fascism rises and political storm clouds crackle over carefree country houses, the bonds of sisterhood are threatened by new and treacherous desires.

Nancy aspires to be a celebrated novelist, Diana and Unity fall for the dangerous, charismatic leaders of the Far Right in Britain and Germany, and Debo sets her cap at a Duke.

Esta semana hablamos de series de hermanos, que es un tema para empezar y no terminar. Recordemos a los Jordache, a los Ewing, a los hijos de Logan Roy y suma y sigue. Nos ocupamos de unas hermanas de la aristocracia que en nada se parecen unas a otras en aquellos tiempos de la Inglaterra prenazi. De unos hermanos que se han tirado más de una década enfrentándose a fenómenos sobrenaturales y de una familia aparentemente modélica, con sus más y sus menos. Escandalosas (Movistar Plus +, 1 temporada, 6 episodios) Basada en un best seller y ambientada en 1930 narra la vida de las rebeldes hermanas Mitford. Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica y Deborah, las hijas del barón Redesdale y su esposa Sydney Bowles, protagonizan una historia de lazos familiares y traiciones, escándalo público, extremismo político, amor y desamor. ¿Cómo y por qué estas mujeres, reacias a conformarse, estaban tan adelantadas a su tiempo y qué las impulsó a seguir caminos tan diferentes, complejos y a menudo peligrosos? Lo mejor: El reparto encabezado por James Purefoy y Anna Chancellor. Pone en alerta al espectador sobre la ascensión del fascismo en el Reino Unido, asunto tan incómodo como interesante Lo peor: El ligero desarrollo de algunos personajes secundarios. Trailer Parenthood (Disney, 6 temporadas, 103 episodios) Los cuatro hermanos Braverman son padres, pero a la vez hijos y, naturalmente, tienen que afrontar todo tipo de problemas familiares. Adaptación televisiva del largometraje Dulce hogar... a veces, de Ron Howard en el que coexisten diversos tipos, el responsable, la hermana ambiciosa, el viva la virgen, la luchadora e independiente... Lo mejor: Aparte del reparto, encabezado por Lauren Graham (Las chicas Gilmore), los conflictos son como la vida misma. Lo peor: La última temporada es levemente cansina. Trailer Sobrenatural (Prime, HBO, Movistar PLUS +, 15 temporadas, 327 capítulos) Un misterioso mensaje telefónico de su padre, que hace mucho tiempo que ha abandonado el hogar familiar, lleva a los hermanos Dean y Sam Winchester hasta California. Aunque no encuentran a su padre, descubren su diario, en el que intentan encontrar pistas que les ayuden a destruir al espíritu maligno que, según su progenitor, es el responsable de la muerte en extrañas. circunstancias de la madre de los hermanos. (Jared Padalecki y Jenssen Ackles) Lo mejor: La originalidad de cada capítulo con los argumentos a menudo atados a leyendas urbanas. Y son 327... Lo peor: Que no se tenga en cuenta por estar inscrita en un género a menudo denostado. Sería un error. Trailer

Jessica Mitford was a muckracking journalist and memoirist, radical activist and wit.

Peter Sussman, editor of a collection of Mitford's letters, and the late radical journalist Conn Hallinan discuss Jessica Mitford's singular life and contributions. The post Fund Drive Special: The Life and Politics of Jessica Mitford appeared first on KPFA.

Send us a textIn this follow-up to our 2021 episode on Nancy Mitford, we're turning the spotlight on her younger sister, Jessica (a.k.a. “Decca”) Mitford, an activist and journalist whom Time magazine called “the queen of the muckrakers.” Her influential 1963 nonfiction title The American Way of Death exposed corruption in the funeral industry and was lauded by David Bowie as one of his “Top 100” favorite books, whereas her 1960 childhood memoir, Hons and Rebels, left her own family seeing red! Joining us in conversation is Mimi Pond, whose recently-published graphic biography Do Admit: The Mitford Sisters and Me adds new color (literally) to the Mitford mythology with wry commentary and artwork perfectly suited to England's most outrageous debutantes.Mentioned in this episode:Do Admit: The Mitford Sisters and Me by Mimi PondHons and Rebels by Jessica MitfordThe American Way of Death by Jessica MitfordDavid Bowie's Top 100 Favorite BooksThe Pursuit of Love by Nancy MitfordLife in A Cold Climate by Laura ThompsonDecca: The Letters of Jessica Mitford edited by Peter Y.

Another quarterly conversation on books with Christianity Today's Editorial Director, Ashley Hales, on the subject of resisting the digital era. Watch the full conversation on YouTube What's the role of reading in a screen-saturated, distracted, AI world? Russell is joined once again by Ashley Hales, print editor at Christianity Today, to explore how literature can help us resist the attention-fractured nature of our technological era by offering unique ways to process real life itself, giving us tools to see grace where we least expect it. Russell reflects on Wendell Berry's latest (and perhaps final) Port William novel, Marce Catlett, and what it means to say goodbye to a lifelong literary companion. Ashley shares insights on Jan Karon's return to Mitford, and the two discuss how stories shape our capacity for empathy, memory, and hope. They also highlight nonfiction works like Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation (check out our recent episode with Jon) and David Zahl's The Big Relief, considering how books can guide us through exhaustion, anxiety, and the pressures of modern life. Then, the two share the stack of books they're reading just for fun, and upcoming releases they're looking forward to.You can find all the titles mentioned in the episode below.

Rarely out of the papers during their lifetimes, and still figures of fascination in modern media, the six Mitford sisters have become notorious. From a shared, if eccentric childhood, the sisters grew into very different women. As adults, they inhabited diverse worlds, from the literary to the agricultural, and rubbed shoulders with both the aristocratic leaders of English society and Europe's fascist elite.   But how did one family produce such a disparate group of women? What role did they play in the political and cultural life of interwar Britain? And why do they continue to fascinate us?  This is a Short History Of The Mitford Sisters.  A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins.

Bessie is currently also starring in Mrs. Warren's Profession in London with her mother, Imelda Staunton (The Crown, Harry Potter).Bessie breaks down Outrageous, from working with her talented co-stars, and what it was like to portray oldest Mitford sister, who was part of a historically controversial family who rose to fame during WW2. Their story begins in the late 1930s, and chronicles the sisters alongside the rise of fascism. Bessie reveals what it was like growing up in a family of actors, the concept of nepo babies, and says when it comes to Bridgerton spoilers, she's too afraid that Netflix might have spies all around. Joanna Vanderham plays Diana Mitford, Shannon Watson plays Unity Mitford, Zoe Brough plays Jessica Mitford, Isobel Jasper Jones plays Pamela Mitford, Toby Regbo plays Thomas, and Orla Hill who plays Deborah Mitford.

Like many families, the Mitfords emerged from the Second World War bearing scars. Yet as the world entered a new, uncertain era, the sisters' knack for making headlines showed no sign of abating. Released from prison, Diana remained loyal to fascism. In America, Jessica became the target of McCarthyism, and later joined the burgeoning Civil Rights movement. Nancy enjoyed literary success in France, while Pam relished the gentle rhythms of country life, and Deborah unexpectedly became Duchess of Devonshire. In this second of two episodes, biographer Mary S Lovell joins Danny Bird to unpack the personal and political divisions that shaped the sisters' postwar lives, revealing how this eccentric aristocratic family continued to reflect and challenge the evolving social landscape and rub shoulders with some of the era's most famous people.

For much of the 20th century, six sisters from Britain's minor aristocracy had a knack for making headline after scandalous headline. They were Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica and Deborah Mitford. Now, the sisters' incredible shared story has been adapted into a TV drama called ‘Outrageous' – based on the best-selling biography by Mary S Lovell. In this first of two episodes, Mary explores the sisters' lives up to the end of the Second World War in 1945. Speaking to Danny Bird, she covers the hedonistic 1920s, the ideological rupture between fascism and communism in the 1930s, and how the sisters seemed to be on the frontlines of history, wherever it was happening.

This week, Mitchell Prothero joins us with his report on why Jared Kushner is pursuing a multi-million-dollar development deal on an uninhabitable former Cold War air base in Albania. Then, many of you are no doubt watching Outrageous, the new series on BritBox that charts the dazzling and controversial lives of the Mitford sisters. Well, our colleague George Pendle reveals that the glamorous sisters' lives were more complicated than we knew, filled with suicides, Nazi-esque orgies, and a classic P. G.

We bounce from balls to benefits this week as we hang out with a lot of very rich people in YA adaptation We Were Liars on Prime (1:00:45), and Mitford sisters miniseries Outrageous on U&Drama (48:19), then explore the life of a woman taking a creative approach to government welfare cutbacks in Rosie Jones' comedy Pushers on Channel 4 (38:41). Plus Kay makes her triumphant return and uses the opportunity to quiz us on our (TV-themed) summer holiday plans. All that and James manages to coin an upsetting new phrase for overtly YA TV dramas.

In this fascinating episode, Geoff gives Rory and our listeners a whistle-stop overview of the famous (or infamous) Mitford sisters; the socialite daughters of the 2nd Lord Redesdale and all great beauties of their day. From Nancy the novelist and Diana the Fascist to Jessica the Communist and of course Debo the Duchess, the six Mitford sisters entranced and scandalised early 20th century British society in equal measure.

In the early 20th century, David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale, and his wife Sydney Bowles had seven children, six girls and one boy.  The sisters all achieved notoriety for entirely different reasons. They were, how can I say, different from each other. Very different. Several of them found themselves associated with some of the most important individuals of the mid-20th century. Learn more about the Mitford Sisters and their very different lives on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Tabloid The Daily Mail pakt deze week flink uit met een bijzondere scoop: de krant heeft de dagboeken van Unity Mitford boven tafel gekregen. Mitford, een van de destijds beroemde Mitford-zussen, was de dochter van puissant rijke aristocraten, en hield er een bijzondere fascinatie met Hitler en nazi-Duitsland op na. Mitford zou naar eigen zeggen meer dan honderd keer met Hitler hebben afgesproken, en haar dagboeken lezen als die van een verliefde puber. Haar liefde voorliefde voor het Derde Rijk was al lang bekend, maar waarom komen de dagboeken nu pas boven tafel? Ook in deze aflevering De Liberale Democraten (LibDem) haalde mede dankzij de knotsgekke PR-campagne van leider Ed Davey de beste verkiezingsuitslag in decennia: 72 zetels in het Lagerhuis. Na de Conservatieven zijn ze de tweede oppositiepartij, maar wat koop je voor die 72 zetels? Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor. Abonneer en mis geen aflevering. Over Lia Lia van Bekhoven is correspondent Verenigd Koninkrijk voor onder andere BNR Nieuwsradio, VRT, Knack en Elsevier en is regelmatig in talkshows te zien als duider van het nieuws uit het VK. Ze woont sinds 1976 in Londen, en is naast correspondent voor radio, televisie en geschreven media ook auteur van de boeken Mama gaat uit dansen, het erfgoed van Diana, prinses van Wales (1997), Land van de gespleten God, Noord-Ierland en de troubles (2000), In Londen, 9 wandelingen door de Britse hoofdstad (2009) en Klein-Brittannië (2022). Over Connor Connor Clerx is presentator en podcastmaker bij BNR Nieuwsradio. Hij werkt sinds 2017 voor BNR en was voorheen regelmatig te horen in De Ochtendspits, Boekestijn en de Wijk en BNR Breekt.

In this fiery episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill welcomes back historian, journalist, and author Guy Walters to rage against the sanitized veneration of the Mitford Sisters. These interwar aristocrats have often been glamorized in books, media, and society, but beneath their glittering façade lies a much darker reality.Fascist Fables:Unity Mitford's Obsession with Hitler: Unity stalked Adolf Hitler, met him over 130 times, and became one of his closest British confidantes. Her diaries, recently unearthed and published, reveal her disturbing Nazi sympathies and personal infatuation with the Führer.Diana Mitford's Glamour and Extremism: Diana married Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists, in Joseph Goebbels' living room, with Hitler himself in attendance. Despite her aristocratic charm, Diana remained an unrepentant fascist even decades after the war.The Mitford Dynamic:The Extreme Spectrum: With parents steeped in fascist ideology, the Mitford siblings included fascists like Diana and Unity, alongside Jessica Mitford, an avowed communist. Guy explores how political extremism permeated the family's psyche.Romanticisation in Media: From syrupy books to glossy TV dramas, the Mitfords are too often depicted as glamorous, eccentric aristocrats, overshadowing their political extremism and disturbing sympathies.Guy's Call to Action:Stop the Mitford glorification. Shift your fascination to figures like the women of the SOE—glamorous, courageous, and committed to fighting tyranny, not enabling it.Join Guy Walters as he dismantles the myths surrounding the Mitford Sisters and rages against the misplaced admiration for these controversial figures.
