  Een waargebeurde Dan Brown of Umberto Eco. Een duistere kathedraal in een stad waar het altijd regent en mistig is, een omstreden religieuze leider, valse nonnen en een verdwenen manuscript.... Luisteren dus! Wil jij een PodcastHeld zijn? Dat kan! Geef me vijf sterren op Spotify of een duimpje op Podimo en volg me op Instagram, TikTok, of Youtube. Of koop mijn nieuwe boek! Nu ook verkrijgbaar als audioboek! Een besneeuwd kasteel, een vervloekte diamant, een gemaskerd bal, een onverklaarbare moord... Kom mee naar Kasteel De Haar. Als je durft... Mijn nieuwe boek is Moord in Kasteel de Haar. In dat boek worden Joop en Nettie, het dynamische duo uit De Moord op mr. Jacques Wijsman, door barones Hélène van Zuylen uitgenodigd op Kasteel de Haar.  Het hoogtepunt is een gemaskerd bal waar iedereen als Napoleon moet verschijnen. Tijdens het bal wordt één van de Napoleons vermoord. Wie heeft de trekker overgehaald en hebben ze eigenlijk wel de juiste Napoleon te grazen genomen? Als ze tot overmaat van ramp ingesneeuwd raken met de moordenaar moeten Joop, Nettie en Hélène zo snel mogelijk de moordenaar ontmaskeren... Ik groeide op in Haarzuilens, letterlijk om de hoek van het kasteel, heb er ook jaren als gids gewerkt.

In April 1809, Napoleon faced one of the greatest challenges of his military career when Austria launched a surprise offensive against the French Empire. With his forces scattered across Bavaria, Napoleon moved with incredible speed to regain the initiative, setting the stage for the dramatic Regensburg (Ratisbon) Campaign.In this episode, special guest Jack Gill will explore how Napoleon rapidly concentrated his army, defeated Austrian forces at Abensberg, Landshut, Eckmühl, and Regensburg, and forced Archduke Charles to retreat across the Danube. The campaign showcased Napoleon's operational brilliance, his ability to exploit enemy mistakes, and the aggressive leadership that made him one of history's most successful commanders.We examine the key decisions made by both Napoleon and Archduke Charles, the role of the French marshals, the fierce fighting around Regensburg, and the famous moment when Napoleon was lightly wounded while observing the assault on the city walls. The victories of April 1809 restored French momentum and opened the road toward Vienna, setting the stage for the climactic battles of the War of the Fifth Coalition.X/Twitter: @andnapoleonPlease consider supporting us on Patreon.

I. Matthew Adelstein (aka Bentham's Bulldog) and Richard Chappell debate the existence of God. So do JP Andrew, Benjamin Tettu, Sangwon Lee, Ethan Muse, other Ethan, and "Atheistic Journals", all within this month! I thought the omnipresence of the early '00s online atheism debate was a time-bound historical phenomenon. But now that the blogosphere has reincarnated as Substack, it's back, nearly as strong as ever. I enjoyed participated in the early 00's version, but the current incarnation leaves me cold. I can't get as interested as I once did in the details of the Fine-Tuning Argument, the Argument From Miracles, et cetera. It's not just that I've already served my time in the theology mines. My lack of belief in God intuitively feels like it precedes all of these things. Consider by analogy a society where people regularly debated whether aliens assisted the rise of Napoleon. There are many reasons to believe in such assistance: Napoleon's rise from Corsican nobody to Emperor and would-be world conqueror was a bizarre deviation from the usual pattern of history. He won battles outnumbered 4-to-1, when everyone knows victory usually goes to the larger army. He became monarch of France immediately after it had declared eternal enmity against the concept of monarchy and resolved to murder anyone who didn't hate monarchy enough. And the arguments against such intervention are comparatively flimsy. True, nobody saw aliens, but a sufficiently advanced civilization could conduct its interventions in secret. True, our prior for alien intervention is generally low, but maybe this is unjustified: we have no idea how many historical events the aliens have intervened in; Alexander the Great was pretty strange too. True, Napoleon finally lost, but this is not decisive; maybe the aliens only wanted him to blaze brightly for a few years before his eventual defeat, or maybe stronger aliens were backing the Duke of Wellington. In a world where this hypothesis somehow entered the space of serious debate, it would be hard to dislodge. Our own historical community is protected from it not because they can precisely add up the Bayesian evidence for and against each of these considerations and conclude its falsehood, but because common sense precludes entertaining it in the first place. This isn't to say that Reason doesn't work - if someone could precisely add up the Bayesian evidence for and against these considerations, they would get the right answer - but as a historical matter, this type of delicate reasoning wasn't how our society resolved this question. My atheism is more deeply rooted in whatever prevented us from considering this question in the first place than in the type of delicate reasoning that could get us out of it. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/why-im-staying-out-of-the-substack

Wie Friedrich Merz seit sechs Jahren Wirtschaft und Solidarsysteme schreddert.Ein Kommentar von Paul Clemente.BlackRock-Kanzler hin oder her. Es gibt Momente, da tut einem sogar Friedrich Merz leid. Und diese Momente nehmen zu. Was muss der Mann in den letzten Wochen erduldet haben! Napoleon hatte ein Waterloo, Merz hingegen stapelweise. Warum das selbstverschuldet ist? Weil er das Schlachtfeld nicht räumen will. Rückzug auf die einsame Insel wie St. Helena? – Für ihn keine Option. Dabei erwartet ihn schon Übermorgen, am Mittwoch, die 30. September die nächste krachende Niederlage. Und die Umfragenwerte? Werden noch mieser. Ein endloses Endspiel.Merz bisherige Strategie zur Bekämpfung der Wirtschaftskrise: Hilfsleistungen kürzen, den Druck erhöhen. Dann läuft das wieder. Kaum hatte er das Amt des Bundeskanzlers erobert, extrahierte er sofort den Schuldigen der wirtschaftlichen Stagnation: Den Bürger. Weil der zu wenig arbeitet. Das müsse mehr werden. O-Ton:Damit einhergehend: Eine widerliche Lust, selbst bei Empfängern der mickrigen Grundsicherung weitere Streichungen und Kürzungen durchzudrücken. Natürlich nur als Hüter der Gerechtigkeit. So polemisierte am Wochenende Johannes Winkel, stellvertretender Vorsitzender der CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion:Und solche Debatten in einem Land, in dem 212 Milliardäre wohnen und als Herberge der Superreichen weltweit Platz 4 belegt. Mario Czaja, ehemals Generalsekretär der CDU, hat da einen Verdacht:In seinem Buch „Mehr Kapitalismus wagen“ behauptet Merz zwar, dass er die Wirtschaft vom Staat befreien wolle. Aber als CDU-Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel vor gut sechs Jahren eine gut funktionierende Wirtschaft strangulierte, hat er nicht protestiert, sondern assistiert und mitgespielt. Im Namen eines Retorten-Virus wurden Gastronomie, Kulturstätten und Läden dicht gemacht, in die Pleite getrieben. Zur Kompensation von Einkommensdefiziten zahlte der Staat insgesamt 439,7 Milliarden Euro an die Eingesperrten.Und was tat Merz? Hätte er als Neoliberaler nicht aufschreien müssen? Okay, einmal forderte er baldiges Beenden eines Shutdowns - um kleine Betriebe zu schützen. Aber im November 2021 verkündete er: Dank der 2G-Regelung dürften nur noch Geimpfte ihrer Arbeit nachgehen. Seine Vision:„Wir müssen in diesem Land wieder mehr und vor allem effizienter arbeiten. Mit Viertagewoche und Work-Life-Balance werden wir den Wohlstand dieses Landes nicht erhalten können.“„Ist es eigentlich okay, dass zwei Menschen gleich viele Sozialleistungen bekommen und der eine hat vorher noch nie was eingezahlt und der andere hat vorher vielleicht einen langen Zeitraum schon mal was eingezahlt?“„Ich glaube, ihm (Merz) fehlt einfach die emotionale Intelligenz, zu verstehen, was da gerade im Land passiert.“„Kein Ungeimpfter mehr im Büro, kein ungeimpfter Fußballspieler mehr auf dem Rasen, kein ungeimpfter Abgeordneter mehr im Bundestag, kein ungeimpfter Student mehr im Hörsaal.“...https://apolut.net/waterloo-fur-die-pflege-reform-von-paul-clemente/

In the 1960s, the Soviet film industry decided to make an adaptation of Tolstoy's War and Peace that would blow any Hollywood epic out of the water. They gave it a virtually unlimited budget, with battle scenes using over 12,000 Soviet soldiers trained using the historical French and Russian drill manuals from the time of the war with Napoleon, using real period paintings and furniture borrowed from Russia's museums. The result was the most epic film ever made, divided into four installments taking over seven hours in total. But War and Peace has something more than a big budget and battle scenes on a mind-blowing scale. It is also one of the most creative and poetic films ever made, a very faithful adaptation of the novel yet using all the tools of cinema in the most unexpected ways to bring Tolstoy's vivid prose to life in scenes of dancing, hunting, dueling, love, betrayal, forgiveness, and spiritual awakening.

Today we're revisiting an episode from SHINE, our walk through the book of Philippians. And there's a reason we're bringing this one back: we've just launched a new Bible reading plan on the Bible App based on the SHINE series. So if today's teaching is helpful to you and you'd like to go deeper, you can now walk through the whole series one day at a time in the Bible App.What if there were a law of the spiritual world as dependable as gravity?In Philippians 2, Jesus doesn't grasp for power. He lets go. He becomes a servant. He humbles himself all the way to the cross.Then everything reverses.God exalts him.John Ortberg explores what this reveals about the deepest pattern of reality: the way up is down, greatness comes through service, and self-giving love is always worth it.So when love gets costly, when you're tempted to self-promote, or when failure and guilt overwhelm you, remember the strategy:Double down on the cross.And remember the phrase:Jesus Christ is Lord.This is how we shine.#JohnOrtberg #Philippians2 #Jesus #SpiritualFormation #TheCross #ChristianityMusic in this episode: Starry Dream - Uptempo by A.

Before the 19th Century, there was no such thing as Germany. Not yet. The German people were scattered across dozens of separate countries, dominated by Austria and Prussia. But an idea was loose in Europe - that a people should rule themselves, that a nation should be free - and that idea was about to catch fire.In Part 1 of the Wars of German Unification series, our big "context" episode, we trace the origins of German nationalism, the epic rivalry of Austria and Prussia, the influence of the French Revolution and Napoleon on German history, and the rising tide of revolution that led to the European Spring.Because to understand the Wars of German Unification, the battles and the iron and the blood, we have to start with the first attempt to unify Germany, the one that failed.We have to start with the road not taken.We have to start with 1848.Sources: https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/post/the-wars-of-german-unification-source-listMusic:Haydn String Quartet In C Major Emperor Hob Iii 77 Op 76 No 3 Movement 2, by Lynnepublishing via Pond5.comhttps://www.pond5.com/royalty-free-music/item/92945102-haydn-string-quartet-c-major-emperor-hob-iii-77-op-76-no-3-m"Phoenix Uprising" by Allwaves via Pond5.comhttps://www.pond5.com/royalty-free-music/item/302066823-phoenix-rising-cinematic-trailer-theme-rebellion-sacrifice-iChasing Daylight by Scott Buckley | https://soundcloud.com/scottbuckleyMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Voice of Earth by Alex-Productions | https://onsound.eu/Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 3.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Juggernaut by Scott Buckley | www.scottbuckley.com.auMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

DEFENDANT: Alexander Dumas EVIDENCE: Medley Rosé SCENE OF THE CRIME: Languedoc, France -- Hey — we're starting Season 6 with boxed rosé, bad accents, and a whole lot of literary chaos. Join Judge Topher (beverage boss) and Judge Rachel (pop-culture prosecutor) as they unbox Medley's Languedoc rosé, gush over the pool-friendly packaging, debate whether boxed wine counts as classy, and taste notes of apple, pear, and a cheeky finish of strawberry. Spoiler: it's an easy, drinkable crowd-pleaser and perfect for pool days and boat trips.   Then we stumble through The Count of Monte Cristo — from Edmond Dantès's naive beginnings and prison metamorphosis to a pirate-fueled treasure haul and one very dramatic revenge tour. There are detours into Napoleon-era politics, serialized 19th-century publishing, Henry Cavill's youthful cameo, and too many accent attempts to count. Expect goofy banter, surprising historical tidbits (Dumas' family history is wild), and a lot of laughs — plus a trivia quiz that goes off the rails in the best way.   Whether you love wine talk, classic revenge tales, or just want a podcast that feels like two friends riffing over a bottle, this episode's your vibe. Pop a cork (or pull a bag tab), get comfy, and come for the rosé, stay for the drama.

What was life like in the Kingdom of Naples during the Napoleonic Era? In this episode, special guest Jonathan North explores one of the most fascinating and overlooked states of the Napoleonic Wars.From the arrival of French armies in Italy to the reigns of Joseph Bonaparte and Joachim Murat, the Kingdom of Naples underwent dramatic political, military, and social transformation. Napoleon sought to modernize southern Italy, abolish feudal privileges, reform government institutions, and bring French influence deep into the Mediterranean world.We'll examine how Naples became a key part of Napoleon's empire, the reforms introduced by Joseph Bonaparte, the ambitious rule of Marshal Joachim Murat, and the kingdom's role during the final years of the Napoleonic Wars. We also discuss the rise of Italian nationalism, resistance movements, British involvement in Sicily, and the eventual collapse of Napoleonic rule in southern Italy.Topics covered:The Bourbon Kingdom of Naples before NapoleonThe French invasion of southern ItalyJoseph Bonaparte as King of NaplesJoachim Murat's reign and reformsThe abolition of feudalismBritish influence in SicilyThe Napoleonic Wars in ItalyItalian nationalism and independenceMurat's final campaign of 1815The restoration of Bourbon rule

On this Let's Talk Pastor Rocky Stevenson of Benoni Bible Church is joined with Kevin Swanson from Generations Media Network in the USA, and they explore church history through the lens of Jesus as the central hero who conquers the world by love rather than force. They contrast the transient power of historical figures like Napoleon with the enduring impact of Christ, emphasising that the gospel has transformed global demographics and culture over two millennia. The discussion highlights the rise of Western civilisation due to Christian influence and its subsequent decline since 1800, while noting the vibrant growth of Christianity in other regions. By examining past missionary efforts and biblical sovereignty, the conversation encourages believers to maintain courage and hope for the future spread of the gospel. Ultimately, the message asserts that Jesus remains the most significant figure in history and the focal point of all human events.

Andy Harriss has run track safety on the F1 movie, Top Gear, Mission Impossible, No Time To Die, Napoleon and more, and worked directly with Max Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton along the way.In this episode we go deep on what it actually takes to keep an F1 set, a live street show, or a Top Gear stunt safe when everything is moving at 200mph. Andy tells the story of Vettel covering for an absent Hamilton on live TV, being overtaken by Lando Norris on an ice lake in Norway, briefing Verstappen one on one before a stunt, and the moment Michael Schumacher was unmasked as The Stig.We also get into his honest take on the 2025 F1 season, the McLaren title fight, and his next project: the Isle of Man TT movie, produced by Brad Pitt and starring Channing Tatum.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Sidey, Dan and Reegs finish “Reach Around Week” with Jack Reacher, the 2012 Christopher McQuarrie action thriller starring Tom Cruise as Lee Child's wandering ex-military investigator. After watching Alan Ritchson's Prime Video version in the Midweeker, the dads now turn to the film that gave many book fans their first major complaint before the opening credits had even rolled: Tom Cruise is many things, but he is not 6'5".The episode begins with the real main event, which is obviously walking football. The dads' team has beaten Madeira 3–0, Dan has scored, Sidey is still protecting his clean-sheet record, and the squad has somehow been told off at half-time despite being ahead. Christian is missing after a suspected bout of sunstroke, while recent viewing includes Reegs watching The Patient, Dan falling into YouTube pinball and arcade content, Sidey continuing through Barry, and a new version of The Grand Tour that appears to have enough Amazon money behind it to launch a car into another tax bracket.Before the film, the Top 5 theme is short people, or at least people who are not especially tall. That means Dustin Hoffman, Katharine Hepburn, the Oompa-Loompas, Mickey Rooney, Martin Short, Al Pacino, Daniel Radcliffe, Prince, Danny DeVito, Verne Troyer, Hervé Villechaize, Warwick Davis, Charlie Chaplin, Napoleon, Michael J. Fox and Michael J. Anderson all come up in a list that moves freely between Oscar history, Jersey trivia, Austin Powers, Twin Peaks, Bill & Ted, The Simpsons, Purple Rain and the frankly irresistible existence of a 2 foot 9 Filipino action star called Weng Weng in For Your Height Only.Then it is time for Jack Reacher, which opens with a cold and nasty sniper sequence. A man sets up in a parking garage, watches ordinary people through a rifle scope and kills five of them in public. The sequence is not especially gory, but the dads find it grim and effective, especially because the victims seem so arbitrary. The police quickly gather evidence pointing to James Barr, an ex-army sniper with previous, and the case appears open and shut until Barr writes one message during interrogation: “Get Jack Reacher.”Reacher arrives already wrapped in myth. The authorities describe him as a decorated military-police ghost with a ridiculous list of medals, only for him to appear at the door before anyone can find him. He knows Barr from the army and once warned him that if he ever killed again, Reacher would come for him. That means he is not initially there to prove Barr innocent; he is there to make sure the right punishment lands on the right man.Rosamund Pike plays Helen Rodin, Barr's defence lawyer and the daughter of the undefeated district attorney. Reacher agrees to investigate while sending Helen to learn about the victims, because he has already started to suspect that five random deaths may not be random at all. From there, the film becomes a conspiracy thriller about a staged mass shooting, a framed sniper, a murdered woman who may have been the real target, and a corrupt network hiding behind official certainty.The dads enjoy several of the action beats. Reacher's bar fight works because he predicts exactly what will happen before it happens, tells the men they wanted it, and then has to take a few shots while still finishing the job. The car chase is a highlight, partly because the film goes out of its way to show that Cruise is really doing the driving, with clean practical shots rather than incoherent cutting. Robert Duvall also turns up as Cash, a grizzled shooting-range owner who only agrees to help after making Reacher prove he can still hit the target, because apparently crucial murder evidence must sometimes be unlocked through old-man range banter.Werner Herzog is the secret weapon as the Zec, a shadowy villain with a damaged eye, a Gulag backstory and the sort of voice that makes every line sound like a cursed bedtime story. The dads particularly enjoy the scene where he demands a subordinate prove his worth by chewing off his own fingers, because the Zec once did exactly that to survive. Herzog is so strange and sinister that the only real complaint is that the film does not use him more.The final stretch takes the story to a quarry, because action thrillers love a quarry almost as much as they love corrupt cops. Cash provides sniper support, Reacher works his way through the henchmen, fights Jai Courtney's Charlie, exposes Detective Emerson as part of the plot, rescues Helen, and then deals with the Zec in the most Reacher way possible. The villain explains that prison will not scare him and that the case may not stick, so Reacher shoots him. When Helen asks what happened to justice, he says he just delivered it.Verdicts are positive but qualified. Dan thinks the film was more fun to discuss than to watch and prefers Alan Ritchson as the physical idea of Reacher, though he still credits Cruise's stunt work and the film's better action moments. Reegs also prefers the series but sees this as a solid, well-made, pulpy thriller with patient pacing and clear set pieces. Sidey likes the procedural shape, the conspiracy reveal, the car chase, Robert Duvall and Werner Herzog, but finds the film grey and a little sterile, and thinks Reacher's low-charisma wandering-avenger persona can be hard to fully love.So the Bad Dads verdict is a moderate-to-strong recommend: Jack Reacher is not the definitive version of the character, and Tom Cruise is never going to be the 6'5" human wall from the books, but as a tough, slightly overlong, well-staged action conspiracy thriller, it does enough. Also, any film where Werner Herzog quietly explains finger-eating survival tactics deserves at least some respect.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

En esta segunda parte del episodio dedicado a la campaña de Waterloo según Columbia Games, abordamos una introducción histórica a cargo de Paco Ronco y de David Gómez y el análisis del juego, en el que volvemos a contar con la participación de Carlos Gete, además del propio David. Como la campaña de Waterloo es sobradamente conocida, Paco y David nos hablarán sobre todo de los mitos, medias verdades y oportunidades fallidas que rodean a la campaña, destacando aquellos aspectos clave que podrían, si se hubieran producido de otro modo, haber cambiado este pedazo de la Historia tal y como la conocemos. Partes: 00:00:00 Primera parte histórica 00:55:00 Segunda parte histórica 02:10: 00 Análisis del juego 03:19:00 Conclusiones Tal y como se indica al final del episodio, los audios de terceros se incluyen bajo los acuerdos de ivoox con la SGAE.

Matt and Michael open with a meditation on digital trust in an age of voice cloning and AI impersonation. Then things get interesting. A Napoleon quote about Christ's empire of love launches them into a deep exploration of certainty, faith, and identity. They wrestle with the difference between certainty and certitude, the paradox of being certain of what we do not see, and why awareness itself can undermine confidence. The conversation builds toward a profound discussion of how Christ's reality transcends time and space, and what it means to be called not just to follow him, but to become him. Cheers y'all

Aufgenommen wieder vereint in Wien, Isabel noch gerötet von einer Microneedling-Behandlung, Lukas gedanklich noch bei Restaurants in New York. Er hat aus dem Founders-Podcast von David Senra eine Zeile von Napoleon mitgebracht, die hängen bleibt: Appetit kommt vom Essen. Je mehr du tust, desto mehr willst du tun. Wer wenig macht, will wenig. Außerdem: Anmeldechaos für eine schulische Freizeitaktivität. Anmeldefenster öffnet Punkt 20:00, Isabel refresht ab 19:55, alle 20 Plätze sind weg, WhatsApp-Gruppe explodiert. Die Lektion daraus führt zu einem Grundsatz: Man sollte sich weniger mit den Problemen beschäftigen, und mehr mit den Lösungen. Dazu ein semantischer, feiner Unterschied zwischen “No” und “Not now”. Und dann spricht Lukas über seine Erfahrungen mit GLP-1: er nimmt Mounjaro auf der niedrigsten Dosis, erklärt den Mechanismus — Magenrezeptoren, Sättigungsschwelle, Food Noise das einfach aufhört — und gesteht ein, dass er leider kein sehr guter Patient ist.

You might associate it with the foil that wraps leftover pizza and the shiny craft beer cans sold in breweries, but aluminum is literally everywhere. Scoop up a handful of soil or gravel anywhere on Earth and you'll find atoms of bonded aluminum hidden inside. But even before it was used in everything from airplanes to deodorant, the trade of aluminum minerals helped color the world, finance the Vatican, and led to the mass collection of human urine. In this installment of “The Element of Surprise” — a series all about the hidden histories behind the periodic table's most unassuming atoms, isotopes, and molecules — we're talking about aluminum.

Their winning formula of straight bar band old time rock, R&B, Blues and great catchy melodic songs was the key to their success. The album made it to #1 on the US Billboard charts and eventually went 7 times platinum. It was produced by Huey Lewis & The News.

In 1800, the Catholic Church appeared to be on the verge of collapse. Rome had been invaded, the Papal States seized, and Pope Pius VI had died as a prisoner in France. Yet the cardinals gathered in Venice and elected another successor of Peter: Pope Pius VII.Only two months after his election, Pius VII issued Diu Satis, declaring that Peter “lives in his successors” and that every attempt to overthrow the House of God is ultimately in vain. In this episode, we examine the historical circumstances behind the letter, Pius VII's appeal to Pope St. Martin I and St. Irenaeus, and his defense of the Church founded upon Peter—the Rock against which the gates of hell will not prevail.We will also consider the remarkable fact that the Vatican was built upon ground once belonging to pagan Rome, with St. Peter's Basilica standing over the burial place of the apostle himself.Pius VII would eventually live the principles of his own letter. Napoleon had him arrested and held prisoner in France, but after Napoleon's downfall, the pope protected his family and helped send the priest through whom his former persecutor returned to the sacraments and received the last rites.Napoleon could imprison the pope, but he could not destroy the papacy—and when Napoleon finally fell, Peter's successor still sought the salvation of his soul.Link to Diu Satis: https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius07/p7diusat.htm

On March 13, 1930, Adolf Hitler was sitting in the passenger seat of his chauffeur-driven car when a trailer truck sped through an intersection and struck the vehicle, pushing it across the road and stopping just short of crushing it. Everyone survived. Three years later, Hitler became chancellor of Germany. Would tens of millions of people still have died if the truck had killed him? To many people, the answer is obviously yes, because Hitler was uniquely evil. To many others, the answer is obviously no, because the Treaty of Versailles and hyperinflation had already created the conditions for catastrophe. Jared Diamond spent decades trying to figure out who is right, and his answer is: it depends on the circumstances, and we can actually test it. Today's guest is Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel and now Profits, Prophets, Coaches, and Kings: (When) Do Leaders Matter? We discuss how the inbreeding of European royal families created a natural experiment proving that monarchs' intelligence directly affected national outcomes, why Botswana's founding president is the clearest modern example of an irreplaceable leader because only he could have given away his own tribe's diamond rights without starting a civil war, and why Genghis Khan's conquests depended on rainfall patterns revealed by tree rings. We also see that Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs all made a difference but none of them passes what he calls the Hamlet test. Diamond's framework applies across politics, business, sports, and religion, and his conclusion is that leaders matter most when three conditions align: high discretion, genuine choices between balanced alternatives, and no one else who could have made the same decisions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Napoleon is remembered as one of history's greatest battlefield commanders, but his true genius extended far beyond the battlefield. In this episode, special guest & author Michael Leggiere will explore Napoleon's grand strategy—the ambitious plan that sought to establish French dominance across Europe and challenge the global power of Great Britain.From the victories of Austerlitz, Jena, and Friedland to the creation of a vast network of allied and satellite states, Napoleon attempted to reshape the political map of Europe. Central to this vision was the Continental System, an economic blockade designed to cripple Britain's trade and force its submission without a decisive naval victory.But did the Continental System strengthen Napoleon's empire, or did it ultimately contribute to his downfall? We'll examine how economic warfare affected France, Britain, Spain, Russia, and the wider European continent, setting the stage for the Peninsular War and the disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812.Join us as we analyze Napoleon's strategic vision, the strengths and weaknesses of the Continental System, and the lasting impact of one of the most ambitious grand strategies in military history.

Sara Weinshenk is back with another solo episode of SHENK, and this week she's trying to figure out why everyone is suddenly obsessed with pheromone maxing, Jellycats, weird sandwiches, nail polish names, and questionable internet gurus. Sara talks about losing her jewelry at the beach, men doing "female activities," discovering a suspiciously well-stocked guy's bathroom, and getting completely sucked into Hayden Panettiere's audiobook. Then things get weird with the TikTok dating trend of pheromone maxing and the idea that skipping showers somehow makes you more attractive. She also investigates Julia Roberts' bizarre favorite sandwich: peanut butter and jelly with sour cream and onion potato chips, imagines a Julia Roberts sandwich pop-up, names nail polish colors, reacts to Heidi Montag's "Matcha With You," and watches a very questionable spiritual healer named Gary Spivey. Plus: Jellycat couples, film festival people, dating, birth control, celebrity culture, Los Angeles, and Sara's ongoing realization that she may be seeing too much of herself in the people she judges.

In this special, crossover edition of Secrets of Statecraft and Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson, Andrew Roberts is the guest and is interviewed by Peter Robinson. Roberts explains why great individuals still shape history—and why Winston Churchill remains history's ultimate example. Roberts also confronts attacks on Churchill's record, explains Britain's decision to fight Hitler in 1940, and discusses tyranny, Brexit, socialism, immigration, Donald Trump, and Britain's future. Roberts also despairs of the decline of literacy and historical memory, and reveals  both the world leaders he admires today and the source of the title of this podcast: Winston Churchill's enduring advice: “Study history, for therein lie all the secrets of statecraft.”

Our recap episodes, which offer a synthesis of our 1792-1804 coverage one year at a time, have reached 1804 - the year in which France gets an emperor once again, and Europe gets an imperial-sized problem. Chris Sloan talks presenter Alex Stevenson through specific key clips he's picked out from our old episodes grouped around four themes which, we argue, help frame the period and shape our understanding of it in a whole new way. We hope this will provide a helpful refresh for longstanding listeners - whilst at the same time offering an 'entry ramp' to the podcast for those who want to get up to speed relatively easily (just) before we crash full-speed into the intensity of the Napoleonic Wars.This episode covers a 12-month period in which there is plenty of change - and lots of slowly developing tension. As well as Napoleon Bonaparte's coronation as Emperor following the uncovering of the Cadoudal-Pichegru plot earlier in the year, we see these themes mirrored in Britain becoming jumpy over intensifying French invasion threat, leading to William Pitt's return as prime minister. Russia breaks relations with France as a result of the deeply controversial kidnapping of the Duc D'Enghien, apparently on Napoleon's orders, whilst Britain moves against Spain by seizing its treasure ships. Old regimes like Austria are reshaping themselves with Francis becoming a new kind of emperor, whilst the United States is moving into new territory - literally - with the Lewis and Clark Expedition setting off.Help us produce more episodes by supporting the Napoleonic Quarterly on Patreon: patreon.com/napoleonicquarterly

The story of why, and how, an arrow ended up in Harold's eye in the Bayeux Tapestry is tied to the politics of the early 19th century, to Napoleon's ambitions and Britain's national pride, and the work of two antiquaries, Anne and Charles Stothard, who travelled to northern France several times to make drawings of the great embroidery. In this episode from our series on Romantic History, originally released in 2022, Rosemary Hill talks to Roey Sweet about the emergence of the Bayeux Tapestry as an artefact of political importance in the early 1800s and the new breed of multi-disciplinary investigators, who, in the years after the French Revolution, studied everything from woollen threads to tombstones in their efforts to imagine the past.

What I learned from reading The Mind of Napoleon by Napoleon. Made possible by: Ramp: ⁠⁠https://ramp.com⁠⁠ AppLovin: ⁠⁠https://www.applovin.com Vanta: ⁠⁠https://vanta.com/founders Sage: https://founderspodcast.com/sage Some of my favorite quotes: 0:00 — " The book gives you insight into the mind of a man who combined energy of thought and energy of action to an exceptional degree." 0:30 — "Work is my element. I am born and built for work. I have known the limitations of my legs, I have known the limitations of my eyes; I have never been able to know the limitations of my working capacity." 0:52 — "He knows that men have always been the same, that nothing can change their nature. It is from the past that he will draw his lessons in order to shape the present." 1:33 — "All my life I have sacrificed everything: comfort, self-interest, happiness, to my destiny. Destiny must be fulfilled that is my chief doctrine." 2:33 — "A consecutive series of great actions never is the result of chance and luck; it always is a product of planning and genius. Is it because they are lucky that [great men] become great? No, but being great, they have been able to master luck. What is luck? The ability to exploit accidents: The vulgar would call this luck, but in fact it is the characteristic of genius." 3:30 — "Hesitation is fatal; once an action is begun, it must be followed through with the utmost exertion of the will." 3:44 — "If I have any ambition, it is so natural to me, so innate, so intimately linked with my existence, that it is like the blood that circulates in my veins, like the air that I breathe." 4:14 — "To have lived without glory, without leaving a trace of one's existence, is to have not lived at all." 6:25 — "Without great men, we have only mediocre men, and if there had never been anything but mediocre men, we would still be half apes." 7:20 — "The great majority of men attend to what is necessary only when they feel a need for it-the precise time when it is too late." 7:30 — "True character always pierces through in moments of crisis. There are sleepers whose awakening is terrifying." 9:11 — "Be successful! I judge men only by the results of their actions." 11:15 — "The truth is that everything around us is miracle." 15:18 — "Men of genius are meteors destined to be consumed in lighting up their century." 16:13 —  "A man must know himself. Until then, all endeavors are in vain and all schemes collapse." 17:53 — "All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity; the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything." 18:12 —  "What I am, I owe to strength of will, character, application, and daring." 19:27 — "Imagination rules the world." 20:58 — " History I conquered rather than studied. That is to say, I wanted from it, and retained of it, only what could add to my ideas. I spurned what was of no use, and I seized upon certain conclusions that pleased me." 26:01 — " It is better to eat than be eaten." 26:08 — "Appetite comes with eating."  27:43 — "It may be possible to arrest the surge of progress or to throttle it, but not to destroy it." 29:01 — " I have read your letter. It is utterly worthless. There are too many words and not enough ideas." 31:08 —  "Without talent, without knowledge, there is no equality but the equality of misery and servitude." 33:46 — Napoleon to someone who hasn't studied history: " Speak as little as possible. Your knowledge is too limited, and your education has been too neglected for you to engage freely in discussions." 36:08 — "The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet.” 36:44 — "If you wage war, do it energetically and with severity. This is the only way to make it shorter and consequently less inhuman." 39:30 — ""In war, men are nothing. One man is everything." 40:20 — "Death is nothing, but to live defeated and without glory is to die every day." 46:23 — "Conquest made me what I am. Conquest alone can keep me there." 46:34 — "Power is my mistress. I have worked too hard at her conquest to allow anyone to take her away from me." 47:13 — "My soul is made of marble. Lightning has found no grip on it and had to slide off of it. I have no fear of becoming their victim. They will be biting into granite."

In a few day's time the Bayeux Tapestry goes on show at the British Museum in London. The famous embroidery that depicts the Norman conquest of England has returned to the country where it was stitched for the first since it was made almost a thousand years ago.  It was created by defeated Anglo-Saxon women, commissioned by their Norman conquerors, and they stitched it to serve a very particular political purpose. We will never know their names but they made one of the most extraordinary works of art to survive from early medieval Europe. Down the centuries it has exerted a powerful hold over many imaginations: it was taken to Paris by Napoleon to rally his troops as he planned to invade Britain, and later eyed by Hitler for the same reason. But the Tapestry is much more than a beautiful object. It is a brilliant piece of communication and in this episode, with the help of Michael Lewis, Curator of the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum, we look at the labour behind it and the story it was designed to tell.

So, who were these men in redcoats - the lower ranks - that fought Britain's wars across the globe? They marched across Europe and thrashed the French, overcame huge odds in India and stood to-to-toe with the fiercest opponents on earth. But despite their courage and ability to endure any hardship - society and, sometimes, even their own officers held them in low regard - to say the least. Today we are going to examine their backgrounds, how they were recruited, their training, their love for booze and of course we will ask were they really the scum of the earth?

Along the way, we'll examine the terrain, discuss Napoleon's battle plan, Wellington's defensive position, and the critical arrival of Blücher's Prussian army. The modern battlefield still preserves many of the landmarks that help visitors understand how the dramatic events of June 1815 unfolded.Whether you're a fan of Napoleonic history, military history, battlefield archaeology, or historical travel, this Waterloo battlefield tour offers a unique opportunity to experience the landscape that witnessed the end of Napoleon's empire.
