Now, When people think of the British Army in the age of Napoleon, they usually picture the big stuff - Waterloo. Salamanca. Lines of redcoats smashing French columns.  But that was only part of the story. Because the British Army of this era was not just fighting set-piece battles in Spain and Belgium. It was everywhere. Corsica. Egypt. The Low Countries. Strange little expeditions, half-forgotten raids, awkward amphibious landings, sieges, disasters, and operations that now sit in the shadows of the more famous campaigns. And some of them are extraordinary. In this episode, I'm joined once again by historian Steve Brown - he is a Goliath of British military history of the Napoleonic era and his books are incredible . Today he is digging into three neglected actions: the invasion of Corsica in 1794, the Ostend raid of 1798, and the Fraser expedition to Egypt in 1807. They may be obscure, but they are anything but dull. We've got Horatio Nelson losing the sight in an eye, British troops smashing their objectives and then being wrecked by the weather and Highlanders and Swiss soldiers ending up in Egyptian slave markets. So put the big battles out of your mind for a bit and grab a brew. I started off by asking Steve what made him want to research these obscure corners of the Great War against France.   Buy Steve's books here - https://amzn.to/4rlq6x1  Join my Patreon here - https://www.patreon.com/RedcoatHistory  

As the British tried to wrap up their war against the Zulu in South Africa, further afield the happy sound of a baby being born could be heard in Germany. Not just any baby. Albert Einstein was born at 11.30 in the morning on March 14, 1879 in Ulm. His birth was not without drama; his family initially worried about his development because the back of his head was unusually large, and his grandmother feared he would have delayed development based on the sound of his cry.  His mother Pauline was deeply concerned when Albert didn't start talking until he was three. Then when he started speaking, he had a habit of repeating sentences to himself, which led the family maid to nickname him "Der Depperte" (the dopey one). When Albert was five and sick in bed, his father Hermann gave him a magnetic compass. This invisible force fascinated Albert and is often cited as the spark for his lifelong obsession with physics. A compass is what the British surveyors carried, so too did some Boers of the Wakkerstroom District. The area wasn't as stable as British Army Lieutenant Colonel Evelyn Wood had supposed. Sure, the hyena of Phongola chief Mbilini — had been killed but the abaQulusi still lurked about their mountains undefeated. While the British had gone about their war against the Zulu with some zeal in 1879, the Boers of the Transvaal were seething about their territory being summarily annexed by the Empire only two years earlier. The Boers of Wakkerstroom, east of Volksrus, lived on a frontier and a ledge. The escarpment along this north eastern line intersects with places like Luneburg, Paulpietersburg, Bilanyoni with Swazi territory further towards the rising sun. June mornings are cold — as cold as the relations between the Boers of Wakkerstroom and local Englishmen. Luneburg was a Lutheran mission station and on the 4th June, the pastor's son Heinrich Filter was killed there along with six black border policemen. Large groups of Qulisi warriors swept back into the northern Zululand region, scooping up hundreds of cattle and other livestock. So it was with fury that commander Chelmsford and Wood heard what was going on between the Boers and the Zulu along the Mkhondo River. The two nations were in league against their common imperial enemy. Zulu deputations had visited the bughers and some Boers had even travelled to go and see king Cetshwayo kaMpande. By June reports circulated the there were even more Boers than usual wintering along the border, below the icy escarpment amongst the Zulu imizi of the Phongola. The fact that they were safe confirmed all suspicions that there was Zulu-Boer collusion. Suspicions were further confirmed when the British found out that the Boers were even acting as guides leading the Zulu impis in their June raids that had been so destructive. Chelmsford had been putting together a potent column for his return to Zululand after he had relieved Eshowe, and in May he began a slow moving march to Ondini. Ranging in front of his force as it gathered close to Rorke's Drift for the second major invasion, were his reconnaissance units, scouts and observers. And one of these observers was the enthusiastic but reckless twenty three year-old Prince Imperial of France, Louis Napoleon. The last hope of the Bonapartist dynasty, serving on Chelmsford's staff. He was the only son of Emperor Napoleon the Third, great-nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. In his first 14 years he had lived the pampered life of a monarch-in-waiting, but that changed in 1870 when his father was deposed after a string of defeats in the Franco-Prussian war. Louis fled to England with his mother Empress Eugenie. Queen Victoria gave them a warm welcome — in 1871 his father was released by the Prussians and joined Eugenie and Louis at a rented mansion in Chislehurst in Kent. A failed attempt to remove a gallstone killed the Emperor n 1873, and Louis ended up in the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich.

In the mid-1800s, long before the Soviet Union or Maoist China, a French political dreamer named Étienne Cabet tried to build a communist utopia... in the heart of America. What followed was a bizarre, ambitious, and often comically disastrous experiment involving disease, deception, authoritarian hypocrisy, failed frontier settlements, buying an abandoned Mormon town, and one of the strangest forgotten social movements in U.S. history.

I'm thrilled to announce two new small-group tours for 2026! The first is a 6-day French Revolution & Napoleon tour in Paris this October. The second is a 10-day Christmas Markets & History tour across France, Germany, and Austria this December. JOIN THE WAITLIST They are two very different journeys, but both are built around the same idea: thoughtful, history-led travel for people who want more than a quick overview and a checklist of sights. The Paris tour is the more focused of the two. It is centred on the Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras, exploring the key places where those histories actually unfolded. The Christmas Markets tour is broader in scope and combines history, festive traditions, and beautiful winter towns. Stops in places such as Strasbourg, Nuremberg, Munich, and Salzburg, along with iconic towns in Alsace and Bavaria.  If one or both sound like your kind of journey, join the waitlist and I'll make sure you hear first when places open.

In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Jose Maria Barrera, software engineer, photographer, and author of Dendera: Temple of Time, to explore one of the most mysterious and symbolically rich temples in all of Egypt — the Temple of Dendera.What begins as a conversation about ancient architecture quickly becomes something much deeper: a meditation on language, time, symbols, divinity, and the difference between modern precision and ancient wholeness.Jose bridges two worlds effortlessly — the scientific and the symbolic. As a data architect and lifelong student of Egyptian cosmology, he invites us to reconsider what we think we know about ancient civilizations. We explore:• Why the ceiling of Dendera — with its pristine zodiac — stunned Napoleon's scholars • How astrology is “science expressed in symbols” • The difference between precision (modern language) and wholeness (symbolic language) • Why ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs were considered sacred sounds • The cyclical nature of time — and why linear thinking may limit our perception • The Nile as a living metaphor for life, death, and rebirth • Why the builders of Dendera weren't building for “future civilizations” — but for eternityJose offers a profound reframe: the ancient Egyptians were not obsessed with death — they were celebrating life in its most finite and divine expression.This episode is a reminder that symbols are not primitive thinking — they are a different lens of intelligence.And perhaps most importantly:The world is not made of matter. It is made of meaning.1. Time is cyclical, not linear. Everything we measure — clocks, seasons, lunar cycles, the Nile flooding — is circular. The ancients lived inside this understanding.2. Astrology is symbolic astronomy. The zodiac at Dendera reflects Babylonian, Greek, and Egyptian synthesis — science encoded through sacred imagery.3. Precision and wholeness are two different intelligences. Modern civilization optimized for precision. Ancient civilizations optimized for symbolic integration.4. Language shapes reality. In ancient Egypt, sounds themselves were divine. To speak was to invoke god.5. Symbols preserve eternity. The Egyptians inscribed images in stone not for “future humans,” but because the symbols themselves were sacred and timeless.6. Life is divine because it ends. The finite nature of existence is what makes it miraculous.“Remember that from the moment you are born until the moment you die, you are the center of the universe. Every moment you experience is at the center of the universe — because everything is around you.”“They (The Egyptians) did not build for future civilizations. They built for eternity.”Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

There's a concept within statecraft known as grand strategy. The "grand" strategy means paying attention to every avenue of conflict, not just the military sphere, but also the diplomatic, the logistical, and the domestic, and everywhere else advantage might be gained or lost. It encompasses soft power, irregular actions, public opinion, etc. But at the same time, it also encompasses prioritization and focus, because, while it's important to consider every avenue, resources are always limited and need to be spent wisely.  A great example of grand strategy done right is the US in WWII. We supported the Soviets, we developed nukes, we invaded Europe, we came together as a nation, and most of all, we buried the Axis with our industrial capacity.  For an example of grand strategy done poorly consider Vietnam. Our battlefield tactics were great. But at the strategic level we comprehensively failed in almost every domain. There was vast domestic opposition, political goals were unclear, we failed to contain the conflict geographically, and never really understood the resolve of the Vietnamese people. You might think that the point of grand strategy, if well executed, would be winning. I disagree, I think the point of grand strategy is not losing. (There's probably an essay to be written about how this applies to Iran, but I think we have enough hot takes on that subject at the moment.) Grand strategy asks you to pay attention to all potential avenues by which disaster may arrive. Disaster in Vietnam did not arrive through the front door, it came from many unexpected directions, but an unexpected disaster is still a disaster, and generally worse than disasters which have been foreseen. As one considers the various aspects of grand strategy, what would it mean to have a personal grand strategy? And how would that be different from just living a "good life"? As a bridge between these two ideas, consider the life of Napoleon. Something Robert Greene does at great length in his book: The 33 Strategies of War By: Robert Greene Published: 2006 496 Pages

Andrei lies moaning from a head wound on the Pratzen Heights, symbolic of the numerous souls dead or wounded.  The depiction of Andrei chasing military glory but falling short, was influenced by how Kutuzov historically lost his son-in-law, Theodor von Tiesenhausen, at Austerlitz.   Kutuzov sent the young noble, who served as an aide-de-camp, to rally retreating troops. After Tiesenhausen seized a fallen standard and ran forward, he was quickly shot in the chest. Frenchmen swarmed him and there was a barbaric scuffle over his military decorations. When Napoleon took a victory lap, he noticed the “glorious” sight of the barely alive Tiesenhausen still holding the flagstaff. Andrei is a physical causality but was imbued with a realization of the baseness of war. Going in and out of consciousness, Andrei held onto the value of his vision. Unable to open his eyes, he thought, “Where is it, that lofty sky that I did not know?” He did not remember the intricate battle plans nor leading the charge. What brought him back to earth was the burning pain in his head. When he heard the sound of approaching horses and French voices, he finally opened his eyes and captured the clouds floating majestically and the blue infinity beyond. Tolstoy has Napolean have a fictional interaction with Andrei while making his triumphant walk.  Napolean comments on the gallantry of the fallen, notably a grenadier whose body was swelling and blackening. It is sinking in for Andrei that there is very little admirable about such a man's life being wasted. Napolean approached Andrei, whose hand was still on the flagstaff and asserted: “That's a fine death!” Andrei now regarded Bonaparte's words as the buzzing of a fly. Napoleon seemed insignificant compared with the sky, which is representative of the Almighty.Andrei desperately wished to be assisted back to life. He collected all his strength to utter a sickly groan. Napoleon immediately ordered Andrei to be treated and rode on met Marshal Lannes, who congratulated his Master. Andrei remained in agony, but regained his bearings after he was placed with other wounded officers. Napoleon encounters Andrei once again when he inspects the overflow of valuable prisoners. The senior officer captured was Nikolai Repnin-Volkonsky, an Imperial Guard Colonel, who Andrei recognized from Petersburg.  Napoleon commended Repnin, saying: “Your regiment was honorable in fulfilling their duty.” Repnin responded “The praise of a great commander is a soldier's highest reward.” More kind yet superficial words were bestowed on a young lieutenant. Napoleon then sees and remembers Andrei and calls him, “mon brave” an old fashioned term meaning “my good fellow” or “my good man.” Andrei remains silent on the only occasion he would meet his one-time idol. All the vain interests that absorbed men like Napoleon now seemed so insignificant. This is Tolstoy's comment on the value of military glory. Andrei thought of the pettiness of such men compared to the lofty, equitable and gentle sky.  His mind was on a plane of solemnity. Various factors led to his mental state including: the loss of blood, nearness of death and appreciation of the divine. Napoleon instructed that Andrei and others be cared for by his own doctor and bid Prince Repnin, Au revoir!” He galloped away -- shining with satisfaction. Frenchmen who had carried Andrei had stolen the gold icon his sister gave him. However, seeing the favor the Emperor bestowed, quickly returned the charm. Beholding the icon made Andrei consider: “it would be good if everything were as clear and simple as it seems to Mar'ya.” He yearns to know where he should seek for help and what to expect beyond the grave. Andrei considered the nature of the Almighty and how to address his prayers. Andrei realizes that he understands the greatness of something incomprehensible but paramount.  He conceptualized the Almighty's ineffable power and contrasted this with image on his amulet, which is a critique of graven images. When Andrei's stretcher moved on, he again felt pain that was difficult to endure. He experienced visions of his father, wife, sister, and future son.  He considered his quiet home life and peaceful happiness that he never appreciated. He realized only the heavens promised a similar peace.Upon examination, Napoleon's doctor pronounced a grave prognosis: “He is a nervous and sickly subject…and will not recover.” Inevitably, the doctor and War Machine moved on leaving Andrei and others to the care of the inhabitants of the district.And that finally ends analysis Book 1 and about 25% of the novel.

“I don't think we're sleepwalking, because people have striven to be as thoughtful as possible. In some ways, they've been too thoughtful. We're paralysed, in fact, by our risk awareness.” — Christopher ClarkIt's 1830 in East Prussia. The city of Königsberg still bathed in the amber glow of the late Enlightenment—at least in the minds of people who'd never been there. But that glow, it goes without saying, is illusionary. The greatest of all Königsberg citizens, the illustrious 18th century philosopher Immanuel Kant is dead. Napoleon's shattered army limped west back through the city two decades earlier after its failed invasion of Russia. The place had slipped into a sad provinciality, living off 18th century nostalgia. And then two Lutheran preachers, so-called “Muckers”, get accused of running a sex cult.Christopher Clark—Regius Professor of History at Cambridge, author of the brilliant The Sleepwalkers and Revolutionary Spring—has been brooding on this story for thirty years. His short new book, A Scandal in Königsberg, is a Prussian microhistory with global ambition. The scandal, he says, was entirely fabricated: no sexual transgressions ever occurred. The two Muckers were convicted, stripped (so to speak) of office, and imprisoned, then exonerated on appeal – giving this case more historical significance than a mere sex scandal.What made them targets? They were evangelical in a city that prized Kantian rationalism. They followed a dead mystic who believed creation was born from two cosmic spheres—fire and water—which sounded like dangerously mystical in the scientific age of steam power. And the lead preacher, Johann Ebel, committed the unforgivable sin of listening to women confess their unhappy marriages. In a pre-Freudian central Europe, Ebel became the confidant the men of Königsberg couldn't abide.And then there's Iran — far from 19th century East Prussia, but on all of our minds right now. At the end of our conversation, I couldn't resist asking Clark if he thinks we are sleepwalking into another catastrophic world war. He doesn't think so. The problem in 1914 was a failure of imagination, he says. Today, Clark argues, we're actually paralysed by a fear of risk. The Iran invasion is certainly stress testing the international system. But the one thing most people agree on, Clark notes with characteristic dryness, is that nobody much regrets any damage done to the regime of the Mullahs. Even if, as he warns, we still don't know whether decision to invade Iran was smart or reckless. The Mullahs, at least, aren't quite Muckers. Five Takeaways•       This Was a Scandal Without a Transgression: Most scandals expose something real. The Mucker scandal was different: the sexual allegations were entirely invented. Two clergymen were stripped of office, fined, and imprisoned—then exonerated on appeal when a sharp young lawyer proved the charges were fabrications. The process of invention, Clark argues, is more interesting than any transgression could have been.•       Steam Was the AI of the 1830s: The two preachers at the center of the scandal were followers of a dead mystic who believed creation was born from two cosmic spheres—fire and water. In the age of steam, that sounded like science. Königsbergers only saw their first steam engine in the 1820s. New technology makes old ideas feel prophetic—a pattern we might recognise.•       The Preacher Women Loved: Johann Ebel attracted women from the best families of Königsberg because he listened to them. There were no couples counsellors, no psychoanalysts—only clergymen. Ebel was non-judgmental about sexual life within marriage. The men around him found this intolerable. The scandal was driven not by what Ebel did, but by what he represented: a threat to patriarchal authority.•       We're Not Sleepwalking—We're Paralysed: Clark wrote the book on how Europe sleepwalked into 1914. He doesn't think the analogy holds today. The problem in 1914 was a failure of imagination—nobody could see the other side's perspective. Today we're hyper-aware of risk, especially nuclear risk. If anything, we're too thoughtful—paralysed by what we know rather than blind to what we don't.•       Iran and the Crumple Zone: The invasion of Iran is testing the edges of the international system. Clark notes that both Putin and the US-Israel alliance have chosen targets without nuclear weapons—probing the crumple zone rather than the core. The danger is an unintentional transition to nuclear exchange. And we still don't know whether the decision to strike Iran was smart or reckless. About the GuestChristopher Clark is Regius Professor of History at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of St Catharine's College.

The Battle of Bautzen (May 20–21, 1813) – Napoleon's Hard-Fought Victory in the War of the Sixth CoalitionIn today's episode, special guest Jonas de Neef breaks down the Battle of Bautzen, one of the most intense and strategically intriguing clashes of the 1813 campaign. Fought after Napoleon's retreat from Russia, Bautzen saw the Emperor attempt to crush the combined Prussian & Russian armies under Blücher and Wittgenstein.

Er is maar 1 schilderij van Goya in een openbare Nederlandse collectie: een portret van Don Ramón Satué. Op zich is dat al bijzonder, maar nog bijzonderder is dat er een ander portret ónder dit portret zit. Wie is de mysterieuze man die Goya overschilderde? En hoe gaat zo'n onderzoek in zijn werk? Je hoort het in deze podcast. 

This project is approaching the final chapter of Book I, a critical juncture with Napoleon victorious and holding the greatest reputation man can bestow.  Even after Napoleon suffered a string of defeats years later, his reputation was colossal when Tolstoy wrote War &Peace. Many readers coming to this book do not realize Napoleon is something of a dark force utilized to portray how to view those who send others to die for a ruler's vain ambitions. In this regard, it is important to recall how Tolstoy was influenced the Bible book of Ecclesiastes, which comments on vainglorious ambitions as well as the meaningless of everything without an appreciation of the Transcendent. Tolstoy is reaching to you from another age, highlighting how you can recognize War's profane nature compared to what is above.  Tolstoy recognizes how calls to war are a siren's song as well as how easy it is to get young men to answer, usually via a small bounty or appeal to patriotism.Acknowledging the idiosyncratic pacifist Tolstoy became, his work still recognizes how a defensive war is more justified than the type of conflict at Austerlitz. Further, Tolstoy was exceptionally critical of his own government, which makes War & Peace so relevant in our times. In this spirit, I bring up the following story:Upon Russia's mass invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, Aleksei Nikitin, a regular citizen from Moscow, tried to make a difference and stood up to power.Aleksei recognized crossing his neighbors' border and unleashing the largest land invasion since the Second World War is the type of aggression Tolstoy condemned.   Aleksei brought Tolstoy into his public protest by writing an excerpt on a poster-board from the 1894 essay “On Patriotism.” It read:“Patriotism is the abdication of human dignity, reason and conscience and a slavish submission to those in power. Patriotism is slavery.”It was a controversial sentiment then and remains so.  This essay described Tolstoy's conception of patriotism -- in that militaristic age -- as a vulgar sentiment used by governments to justify their war machines. He argued it is opposite to what he took out of the Bible, namely Christian brotherhood. Aleksei's use of the essay speaks to what Tolstoy has Andrei grasp as Andrei views the senselessness of a red-haired Russian artilleryman squaring off against a French attacker – both Christians struggling over a mop as if it was the Holy Grail. Tolstoy was speaking to the baseness of what he witnessed, as a soldier on campaigns in Chechnya and being on the losing side of the Crimean War.Tolstoy points out that men mercilessly hacking one another have a great deal more in common with one other – than the men of supposedly higher status, who sent them to die.  Tolstoy described, in another part of the essay:"It is even impossible to imagine, how and for what, Russian and German workmen, peacefully and conjointly working on the frontiers or in the capitals, should clash. And much less easily can one imagine animosity between some Kazan peasant who supplies Germans with wheat, and a German who supplies the peasant with scythes and machines. It is the same between French, German, and Italian workmen."Aleksei Nikitin was arrested and the Moscow police statement on the proceeding was carefully worded and likely came from their Intelligence Service:“This writer's (Tolstoy's) works and articles were harshly critical of the ruling (Czarist) regime, including justifying violence against the government.   Therefore, the actions of Citizen Nikitin should be interpreted as a call to overthrow the existing authorities and also to follow the ideology of Tolstoy.”This was a revealing acknowledgement that the philosophy of Tolstoy is threat to a system throwing countless men into their War Machine. Nevertheless, the Russian government succeeded in stunting that portion of citizenry who were in line with the ideals of Tolstoy. Once the internal dissension was suppressed, the Russian leader found it prudent to create, a “Tolstoy Peace Prize.”Over his career, Tolstoy brought out how such aggression brings out an ever-lasting hatred by those affected. Some of such work involves Chechnya.  One of Tolstoy's first short stories, “The Raid,” from 1853, explored amidst the Chechen  landscape -- what motivates man to kill his fellow. Further, one of final works, “Hadji Murad,” tells the story of  brutal campaigns against Chechnya, which  involved the burning of villages, fields, and livestock. Tolstoy took to heart how raids would leave the helpless crying in despair;He recognized, how such aggression promotes a natural resistance, like many Chechens have demonstrated for generations; and like the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians have capably demonstrated in our times.

The spring and summer of 1810 saw Napoleon enjoying life as a newlywed. Bonaparte was happy, but there were ominous signs of trouble ahead. He himself would later admit the Empire was headed towards "the edge of the abyss." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode from Highclere Castle, I sit down with Nick Hopton to talk about his book, "Marma Mia," which begins as the story of buying and restoring a holiday house in an unspoiled part of Tuscany, the Maremma and becomes a wider family and personal journey. Nick shares how reading "A Year in Provence" during COVID while he was British Ambassador to Libya helped inspire him to write a feel-good book that encourages readers to discover lesser-known regions. We discuss his Foreign Office career and his approach to languages, including learning Arabic across postings such as Morocco, Yemen, Qatar and Libya, along with French, Italian, Spanish, some German, and some Farsi ahead of becoming ambassador to Iran after the 2015 nuclear deal and the reopening of the British embassy. Nick explains how a friend's suggestion to look beyond Chianti led serendipitously to the first house they viewed and ultimately boughtalongside the realities of renovating abroad: high costs, practical challenges, and the highs and lows of making a place work for family life. We also talk about his unexpected love of landscaping and working with a skilled digger operator he calls “Michelangelo,” the region's food, wine, local olive oil and its strong Tuscan accent. Nick recounts a memorable moment when a friend arrived with an armed escort and the town's mayor turned out to greet them, and he updates me on ongoing projects, including drilling a 97-meter well to reach a fresh aquifer. Looking ahead, Nick describes writing best in the relative isolation of the Italian house and shares his interest in writing more broadly about the Mediterranean, linked to his role creating a new program at the University of Cambridge Centre for Geopolitics. We touch on the Napoleonic history of the area, including the principality of Piombino and Lucca and Napoleon's sister Elisa and end with a playful question about a dream dance guest Nick chooses Dante's Beatrice, reflecting his early love of Dante's poetry and its lifelong influence.00:00 Meet Nick Hopton & the book ‘Marma Mia' (restoring a house in Italy)00:50 Inspired by ‘A Year in Provence': writing a feel-good travel memoir during COVID01:59 Diplomatic life & learning languages: Arabic, French, Italian (and more)04:26 Why you should speak the local language (even with bad grammar)05:17 Falling for Tuscany's Maremma: the serendipitous house-buying story07:42 Renovation reality: highs, lows, and why the Maremma stays authentic08:44 Landscaping obsession: diggers, Kubotas, and ‘Michelangelo' the operator11:05 Food, wine & dialect: tomatoes, olive oil, and the Tuscan accent12:49 Small-town surprises: the ambassador friend visit and the mayor's welcome13:43 The work never ends: is the villa project ever really finished?14:01 Digging a 97m Well & the Never-Ending House Project14:27 What's Next After the Book: A Wider Mediterranean Focus14:58 Seeing the Mediterranean Holistically (Cambridge Geopolitics & Trade Routes)16:26 Duff Cooper, John Julius Norwich & Highclere's Colorful Guests17:20 Writing Habits: Tuscany, Isolation, Rhythm & Beating Procrastination18:37 Italy, Maremma & Napoleonic History: Elisa and the Principality of Piombino and Lucca20:30 Diplomatic Postings & Reopening the UK Embassy in Iran (2015)23:09 Iran Today: Regime Weakness, Protests, and a Hope to Visit the Cradle of Civilization24:21 Highclere's Library, the Book Club, and a Shared Love of Italy25:27 Finale: The Summer Dance Fantasy Guest—Dante, Beatrice & Vita NovaYou can hear more episodes of Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcasts at https://www.ladycarnarvon.com/podcast/New episodes are published on the first day of every month.

Today's Scripture: 1 Peter 5:10On October 19, 2025, thieves broke into the Louvre museum in Paris and made off with historic, priceless treasures. An ornate crown from the Napoleon era was dropped and crushed during the escape.  Experts determined a delicate restoration was possible. The Bible tells us that human beings are the crown of God's creation, bear the image of God and, as such, possess infinite worth.Genesis 3 tells us our life is a sacred treasure, a masterpiece under construction, so valuable that a thief with criminal intent is trying to steal it away.There are some who, like the damaged crown, have been recovered from the theft and are in the process of being delicately restored. The Bible calls these Christians.

Im Jahr 1805 besetzte die französische Armee das erste Mal Wien, das sich kampflos ergab. Kaiser Napoleon bezog Quartier in Schönbrunn, wo er sowohl einige Tage im November und nach seinem Sieg bei Austerlitz knappe zwei Wochen im Dezember verbrachte. Es sollte nicht sein letzter Aufenthalt sein, vier Jahre später stand er wieder vor den Toren Wiens.

Am Morgen des 8. September 1997 war Herbert Feuerstein hundemüde gewesen. Grund war nicht sein Fernsehhund Billy, sondern eine zwölfstündige Livesendung, für die der Westdeutsche Rundfunk Himmel, Hölle, Intendanz & Ü-Wagen in Bewegung gesetzt hatte. Feuerstein war zutiefst unzufrieden aus diesem Experiment herausgegangen, ein an seinem Fernseh-Waterloo gescheiterter Napoleon. (Die Rückspultaste berichtete.) Doch was für ein Unterschied ein Jahr machen kann. Am Abend des 6. September 1998 war Chefhektiker Feuerstein voll des Optimismus wieder am Start in seiner Dachgeschoßwohnung im Kölner Severinsviertel. Zum zweiten Mal zwölf lange Stunden vor sich. Diesmal würde alles (naja, vieles) gelingen und nicht wieder die Hälfte aller geplanten Aktionen ins Wasser fallen. Seine charmante Nachbarin Anke war erneut mit von der Partie, ein Stockwerk weiter oben. Billy sowieso – und diesmal gab es tatkräftige Unterstützung von Götz Alsmann, Gotthilf Fischer, Dolly Buster, Herrn Fuji, Queen Elisabeth II., WDR-Intendant Fritz Pleitgen und vom Kölner Rundfunkorchester. Schalten in ARD-Büros rund um die Welt sollte es geben. Ein Feierabendkölsch mit Willy Millowitsch, Sticheleien mit Eva Herman, Lagerfeuergesang mit Beckmann, Gassigehen mit Ulla Kock am Brink, kretisches Omelett mit Bio, ein sabotierender Harald Schmidt, Fachsimpeln mit Experten von Handleser bis Ernährungsberater – und die Weltpremiere der WDR-Hymne. (Du großer Sender, überstrahlest alle Länder.) Tadderich Simon, Fazitator Christian & Sebastian widmen sich ein weiteres Mal ihrem kreativen Vorbild. Herbert Feuerstein will return.

Brandon and Jesse talk concentrates, edible tolerance, and what happens when you take 250mg of Apple Fritter before watching a movie that definitely is not that funny… until it is. They break down how different consumption methods actually feel in real time, from “behind the eyes” pressure to full-body giggles.But then the conversation shifts.They get into cannabis history, why Napoleon reportedly banned his army from smoking in Egypt, and how weed doesn't exactly inspire battlefield aggression. From there, it turns into a bigger conversation about the scientific method, celebrity scientists, and why real innovation usually comes from the quiet builders nobody talks about.The back half of the episode moves into something deeper. Handwritten letters. Navy memories. Physical mail. Human connection. The idea of Cannabis School pen pals. Why writing something down might be one of the most honest ways to say what you actually feel.It is classic Sesh energy. Funny, unfiltered, reflective, and unexpectedly thoughtful.In this episode we talk about:• Dabbing vs flower and how concentrates hit differently• Taking 250mg of edibles and what that experience actually feels like• Purple Platinum Jager and Apple Fritter effects• Cannabis in world history and Napoleon's Egypt campaign• Why weed does not exactly make you want to fight• The scientific method and celebrity culture• Handwritten letters and deeper human connection• The idea of Cannabis School pen palsThis episode is less about being right and more about being real. Just two friends, some concentrates, and a conversation that moves from giggles to meaning without forcing it.If you've ever had one of those nights where cannabis opens up something deeper than you expected, this one will feel familiar.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.We keep a running list of tools and brands we personally enjoy and actually use.Find everything in one place here:

Napoleon House has never tried to be anything other than what it is. In this episode of the Retire Southern Podcast, James Lewis sits down with Chris Montero, Executive Chef and General Manager of Napoleon House, to explore what it means to care for one of the French Quarter's most enduring neighborhood institutions. An eighth generation New Orleanian, Montero brings his family's traditions into the kitchen every day. His red beans are made without soaking and built on three kinds of pork fat, cooked the same way his grandmother made them. He favors the classic Pimm's Cup served over ice, light and restrained, just as it has been for generations. His connection to Napoleon House is not theoretical. It is lived. The conversation moves through food, cocktails, history, and the responsibility of stewardship. It is a story about loving a place enough to protect it, about honoring history without freezing it in time, and about the people who make an institution feel like it belongs to everyone who walks through the door. Listen to the full episode and read the complete written feature at retiresouthern.com.

(01:32) De VS heeft onder Trump een oud doel weer opgepakt: Cuba afknijpen, totdat het communistische regime valt. En nu, doordat Venezuela geen olie meer levert, is de druk op Cuba extreem hoog. Edwin Koopman, Latijns-Amerikakenner en journalist bij Bureau Buitenland, vertelt meer  (11:26) Napoleon veroverde Europa met kanonnen. Madame Germaine de Staël bestookte het met ideeën, en dat maakte haar gevaarlijker dan een leger. Wie was deze vrouw, die zo gevaarlijk werd gevonden door de machtigste man op aarde? Margot Dijkgraaf is te gast met haar nieuwe boek   (25:50) Hij staat te boek als zeeheld, admiraal en - niet onomstreden- nationaal icoon: Michiel de Ruyter. Zijn huis in Vlissingen wordt nu op internet te koop aangeboden. Gepensioneerd archivaris Ad Tramper bezocht de woning en vertelt meer.   (29:57) In Marokko werd hij gezien als culturele grootheid, maar in Nederland is hij vrijwel onbekend gebleven. De Oost-Groningse kunstverzamelaar Bert Flint (1931-2022) vertrok in de jaren ‘50 naar Marrakech. Journalist en documentairemaker Lejo Siepe schreef het boek Een vreemdeling in de Medina en is te gast.  (40:02) Op 10 februari 1941 verschijnt Het Parool voor het eerst tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Vijfentachtig jaar later is het een gevestigde krant, maar de vraag waar het ooit om begon blijft urgent, want de vrije pers staat wereldwijd onder druk.  We gaan erover in gesprek met een van de schrijvers van het jubileumboek Vrij, onverveerd, journalist en onderzoeker Teun Dominicus.   (53:00) Het recht van de sterkste #5: filosoof en journalist Thomas Muntz over Hannah Arendt    (01:07:21) Vanwege die vieringen van het Chinees nieuwjaar was het deze week weer veel te zien: de leeuwendans. Een bekend beeld — een rij mensen, gezamenlijk kleurrijk verkleed, die zich als één leeuw voortbewegen. Wat is het verhaal achter deze dans? We vragen het sinoloog en vaste OVT-recensent Fresco Sam-Sin.   (01:13:06) OVT Doc: Jeugd versleten Deel 1    Begin februari vond in Marrakech in Marokko de 6e Wereldconferentie over de uitbanning van kinderarbeid plaats. 2025 had het jaar moeten zijn dat er wereldwijd een einde aan kinderarbeid zou komen, maar dat doel is bij lange na niet gehaald. Nog altijd werken er 138 miljoen kinderen, van wie 54 miljoen gevaarlijk of schadelijk werk doen.   In Nederland is kinderarbeid wel uitgebannen. Maar wie denkt dat al zo is sinds het ‘Kinderwetje van Van Houten' in 1874, zit ernaast. Nog tot ver in de 20e eeuw werd er in Nederland door kinderen gewerkt. In de tweedelige documentaire ‘Jeugd versleten' horen we de verhalen van mensen die dat zelf hebben meegemaakt.   Programmamaker Katinka Baehr maakte dit tweeluik, op basis van interviews uit 1989 uit de OVT-serie ‘Arbeiderslevens'.     Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-22-februari-2026   (https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-22-februari-2026%20)

His military campaigns around the world had already introduced him to the supernatural power of jewelry...

So much so that he imagined a strange talisman, a lucky charm and symbol of his love, sculpted in the shape of… a scarab beetle!Voice of Jewels, a podcast from L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts supported by Van Cleef & Arpels.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Toronto poet Guy Elston about his debut poetry collection, The Character Actor Convention (Gordon Hill Press/Porcupine's Quill, 2025).  A pumpkin writes a letter to his father. A sheep recalls a revolution, and love. Hydrogen pens a tell-all expos of Oxygen. The Stick Insect Orders His Tomb. Napoleon counts waves and cheats at cards. A sunflower seeks answers - why sun? A crow considers children in this cruel, spiky world. And allthe while, character actors gather for the endless convention... Guy Elston's debut poetry collection, The Character Actor Convention, is a curious smorgasbord of personas, new voices and (un)natural perspectives. Through impossible encounters and strange viewpoints an insistent, ever-shifting 'I' questions its relation to reality, and itself. Wist, wit, obsession and irony rise like tides, are forgotten, and start fresh. Authenticity is always just round the corner. The Character Actor Convention is not urgent, timely or topical. It's something else. Guy Elston was born and raised in Oxford, UK. After various jobs, journeys and other lifetimes he surfaced in Toronto in 2020. He has an MA in History from the University of Amsterdam. Since moving to Canada his poetry has been published by The Malahat Review, Canadian Literature, Event, The Literary Review of Canada, Vallum, The Antigonish Review and other journals. His chapbook Automatic Sleep Mode was published by Anstruther Press in 2023. His debut full-length collection, The Character Actor Convention, is forthcoming from The Porcupine's Quill in 2025. Guy lives in Toronto and can be found at poetry events. He's a member of the Meet the Presses collective and is a first reader for Untethered magazine. Learn more about your ad choices.

James Gillray was one of Georgian Britain's most ruthless satirists, using his prints to mock kings, politicians and generals, turning politics into popular entertainment. From the print shops of London, he reduced figures such as Napoleon to objects of ridicule while capturing the humour and anxieties of an age shaped by revolution and war. Historian Alice Loxton speaks to Rachel Dinning about Gillray's world, the crucial role of his publisher Hannah Humphrey, and why his imagery still underpins modern political cartoons. ----- GO BEYOND THE PODCASTAlice hosts HistoryExtra Academy's The World of the Georgians, which explores Gillray's art and what it reveals about Georgian society.

Day 1,440.Today, as Ukrainians endure temperatures of minus -20 degrees Celsius and Russia marks the end of its so-called “energy ceasefire” with a new mass aerial attack, we ask what is stopping Donald Trump from simply urging Vladimir Putin to spare Ukraine's energy infrastructure for another week. We report on NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's address to Ukraine's parliament, examining what he meant by the “difficult choices” Kyiv may face in pursuit of peace. And later, with the START nuclear treaty due to expire this month, Adélie speaks to two researchers about nuclear signalling – and how to interpret what Moscow and Washington really mean behind their public statements.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Adélie Pojzman-Pontay (Journalist and Producer). @adeliepjz on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.
