In each episode, we invite our guests to reflect on the assumptions that lie behind the question, “But where are you really from?“ and how they respond.

McIlroy, Frampton, Best, Galway; Belfast has always punched above her weight, and we love her for it. But why is national identity so much more important in smaller nations? And what can it give to an artist's voice that former colonial nations can't? Grma xInline G Merch

Across Europe, the walls are closing in. In Spain, activist Isabel Peralta is sentenced for speaking the truth about migrant violence. In Germany, the surging AFD is punished for rising in the polls. In Norway, peaceful protesters are investigated like criminals. From the UK's online speech police to Scotland's snitch kiosks, this is not the Europe you knew — it's the EU-SSR. NATO was built to fight the old USSR, but now Brussels is pushing censorship, silencing dissent, and criminalizing patriotism. And the worst part? American elites want to import the same model. This is the battle for the future of the West — and it's only just beginning.

"Crisis of Historical Subjectivity" - my guest, Dr. Namhee Lee, used this phrase to describe the Korean people's experience of 'failed history' and their collective effort to overcome that past. This is the story of "disguised employees" - South Korea's intellectuals who left high-paying jobs to instead work on the factory floor with the aim of bringing about democratic change.

How were Moroccan Muslim and Jewish cultures depicted in Spanish literature, journalism, and photography during the Rif War and what did this portrayal reveal about conflicting visions of Spanish identity? Runner-up for the 2017-18 AHGBI-Spanish Embassy Publication Prize Spanish National Identity, Colonial Power, and the Portrayal of Muslims and Jews During the Rif War (1909-27) (Boydell & Brewer, 2021), examines how anxieties about colonial power and national identity are reflected in Spanish literature, journalism, and photography of Moroccan Muslim and Jewish cultures during the Spanish colonisation of Northern Morocco from 1909 to 1927. This understudied period, known as the Rif War, is highly significant because of its role in shaping the identities that came into conflict in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). Furthermore, the book makes a key contribution to Spanish colonial studies by offering a comparative analysis of Spanish representations of the Iberian Peninsula's cultural and historical relationship with Moroccan Muslims and Jews in this context, showing how conflicting visions of Spanish identity are portrayed through and in relation to them.

In this explosive Heretics interview, left-wing trade unionist Paul Embery delivers a scathing critique of Britain's political class, Keir Starmer, wokeness, multiculturalism, mass immigration and the modern Left. From Labour's abandonment of the working class to the Lebanon-isation of Britain, Embery unpacks the deep cultural and political crisis facing the UK. "No other country trashes its own history like Britain." "The Labour Party is now run by social activists and student radicals." "We promoted a hard multiculturalism that is now fracturing the country." #PaulEmbery #BritishPolitics #CultureWar  Support my guest by going to http://paulembery.com  Get his book, Despised: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Despised-Modern-Loathes-Working-Class/dp/1509539999  Follow him on X: https://x.com/PaulEmbery    Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com  Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates  Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Chapters: 0:00 Paul Embery Highlights 0:55 Is the UK Just An Airport? 3:55 Elites & Liberal Progressivism 6:45 JD Vance - Elites vs Ordinary People 7:55 Conspiracy Theories About Kate Middleton 9:40 Epstein's Island & Hunter Biden's Laptop 12:25 What Happened to the Left? 15:25 The Best Example of Leftist Contempt 20:20 Will What Happened to Lebanon Happen to Us? 23:55 Cultural Enrichment 26:55 Tommy Robinson 30:55 Delivery Man Kicking Fella on the Floor 33:55 Japan Example 37:55 National Identity & Making Parliament Artists More Diverse 40:55 Prince Harry the Worst Example 43:55 Harry & Meghan Criticism 47:20 Owen Jones 48:55 Problem with Queers for Palestine 51:55 What We Can Learn From Trump 55:10 A Heretic Paul Admires Learn more about your ad choices.

When Time magazine named Stanley Hauerwas “America's Best Theologian” in 2001, Hauerwas replied, “‘Best' is not a theological category.” This response encapsulates the work and conversational style of Hauerwas, who joined Moore to discuss his new collection of essays, Jesus Changes Everything: A New World Made Possible. With his signature approach that prompts the audience to wonder if there's another way to think about a topic, Hauerwas talks about the books that shaped him, how he came to be a theologian, and why he believes that being a Christian is the most interesting thing that could happen to a person. Moore and Hauerwas consider the importance of Christian friendship, the person of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and the life-changing power of the truth. The two offer poignant, practical insights for reclaiming Christian vocabulary and better understanding our lives as narrated by Christ. Resources mentioned in this episode or recommended by the guest include: Jesus Changes Everything: A New World Made Possible by Stanley Hauerwas Stanley Hauerwas “America's Best Theologian: Christian Contrarian” The Sun and the Umbrella by Nels F.

Tahrir Hamdi is a Professor of Resistance Literature at the Arab Open University in Jordan. She is the author of the award-winning Imagining Palestine and serves as an assistant editor of Arab Studies Quarterly. National identities are inherently fluid, shaped as much by collective beliefs and cultural practices as by official borders and territory. For Palestinians, whose national status remains contested, the articulation and imagination of national identity take on particular urgency. Imagining Palestine: Cultures of Exile and National Identity (Bloomsbury, 2022) examines how Palestinian intellectuals, artists, activists, and ordinary citizens envision their homeland, engaging with the works of key figures such as Edward Said, Ghassan Kanafani, Naji al-Ali, Mahmoud Darwish, Mourid Barghouti, Radwa Ashour, Suheir Hammad, and Susan Abulhawa. Drawing on decolonial and resistance concepts—particularly Palestinian sumud—Hamdi argues that the imaginative construction of Palestine is central to the Palestinian struggle. This interdisciplinary study, rooted in critical theory, postcolonial and decolonial studies, and literary analysis, offers valuable insights for students and scholars of Palestine, Middle East studies, and Arabic literature. Imagining Palestine received the Counter Current Award at the 2023 Palestine Book Awards.

What does it mean to have undivided loyalty? In this thought-provoking episode, I explore the powerful connection between our faith commitments and our national identity through the lens of Theodore Roosevelt's 1916 speech rejecting "hyphenated Americans."The journey begins with a hard look at our daily priorities. When we examine how we actually spend our time—scrolling social media, watching entertainment, or engaged in other distractions—versus how much time we devote to prayer, Scripture, and spiritual growth, what does that reveal about our true values? These small daily choices form the foundation of our larger loyalties.Drawing from Colossians 1, we explore how Paul emphasizes the supremacy of Christ and the importance of giving Him first place in everything. This spiritual principle parallels Roosevelt's passionate call for citizens to be "Americans and nothing but Americans." Both perspectives challenge us to examine where our true allegiances lie and what it means to have an undivided heart.The heart of this episode centers on Roosevelt's powerful declaration that he would dismiss anyone from his cabinet who identified themselves as a hyphenated American. "If they had severally designated themselves and had acted as one a German-American, another a French-American, another an Irish-American, another a British-American... not one of them would have remained an hour in my cabinet." This historical stance raises profound questions about our modern identity politics and the fragmentation of both national and spiritual loyalties.What would it look like to reclaim an undivided American identity while also embracing an undivided Christian identity? Whether you're wrestling with questions of faith, citizenship, or personal priorities, this episode offers historical wisdom and spiritual insight to help navigate these complex waters. Join me in exploring what it means to be wholly committed to both God and country in an age of divided loyalties.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

What is the nature of national identity? Can you replace the pieces that make up a nation but maintain the same identity? As the West wrestles with its crisis of meaning it becomes more and more important to understand who we are and what defines us. We'll be using the Ship of Theseus, a classic philosophical thought experiment, to investigate these questions.

How much do we really know about what is happening in Ukraine? What is life like for the Ukrainian people? How do they see peace and what will it look like? This interview was recorded on 26th February 2025 following a tumultuous 2 weeks of 'hard news' related to the war in Ukraine.  Putin/Trump telephone call on 12th February President Trump described President Zelensky as a 'dictator.'  Vice-President JD Vance attacked European leaders on the basis of whether current European values warranted defence by the US. On 24th February the US sided with Russia, Belarus and North Korea to pass UN resolutions on the war in Ukraine.  February ended with visits by 3 European leaders to the White House with Presidents, Macron, Zelensky and Prime Minister Starmer meeting with Donald Trump. UK announced an increase to 2.5% of GDP for DefenceHowever, for all we read and hear about in the news I wanted to have the opportunity to hear from somebody who is living in Ukraine and what his take is on all this and so I'm very pleased to welcome back Yuri Yastavny to the show.

Austin Frerick is an economist, Yale Fellow, former Congressional Research Assistant, and author of Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America's Food Industry. He investigates how the U.S. food system became both outrageously expensive and dangerously toxic—not just for consumers, but for the farmers who grow our food. Instead of blaming deregulation alone, Frerick exposes the real culprits: the Big Ag monopolies that have spent billions to rig the system, buy politicians, and crush opposition to expand their hidden empires. We break down how these corporate Barons pulled off their silent coup, the devastating impact of monopolization on farming, food prices, and public health. Most importantly, we explore what can be done to take back control of the food system before it's too late. Don't miss the historic cosmology summit in Portugal this summer!!!

A new survey by Afrobarometer, the Pan-African research network, says Africans are likely to prioritize their national identity over their ethnic one, or to equally feel allegiance to both. In a survey conducted across 33 countries, Afrobarometer also found that Africans have no objection to living next door to people from different ethnic backgrounds and are open to inter-ethnic marriages.

“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” The words of Oscar Wilde set the stage for this episode, where we are examining the power of the theatre to inspire and connect across borders.  In this episode, we're specifically looking at the concept of identity, in particular national identity and national culture, and how this is played out on stage, by examining the role of national theatre and telling a nation's story both at home and in the wider world.  Host Christine Wilson is joined in the studio by Jackie Wylie. Jackie has been the Artistic Director and Chief Executive at the National Theatre of Scotland (NTS) since 2017. We also travel to Argentina where we hear from Rubén Otero, who is a naval veteran of the South Atlantic conflict between the UK and Argentina. Rubén participated in the play, Minefield, which brought together veterans from both sides to explore the conflict and its impact. In the conversation, both Christine and Jackie speak about the origins of NTS from its early days in a newly devolved Scotland, and how it has evolved to articulate the diverse experiences of Scots from across the country, as well as represent Scotland on the world stage. They talk about the magic of the collective experience for the audience, and how the artform continues to adapt to engage theatregoers in our fast paced world. Rubén illustrates the power of drama in his telling of the story of making the play Minefield, in particular the experience of sharing the stage with men who were once seen as enemies.  This episode invites you to be part of the conversation and consider how we can better connect with each other, whatever the context.

Today, we're looking at U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's continuing talk of Canada becoming the "51st state" as the country continues to be in a state of disarray following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's to prorogue Parliament and announce his intent to resign. Plus, Trudeau tried — and failed — to define Canada's national identity in his first interview and press conference since he declared he'll leave as Liberal leader. In contrast, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre put forward his vision for how Canadians define themselves. And finally, the Liberals' leadership race is getting underway with some prominent cabinet members saying they're not entering the race, while others are bringing a ... different approach ... to the Liberal platform.

In this podcast, I speak to Fernando Romero Nuñez, a sports journalist with the Buenos Aires Herald, about the evolution of Argentinian national identity and where football fits into that. We look at the emergence of the sense of an 'Argentine identity' in the 19th century, the growth of football and local-founded clubs.   We also discuss the 'sibling rivalry' with Uruguay and how that differs from Argentina's clashes with Brazil. We look back at 'La Nuestra' ('Our Thing'), and the clashing styles of Cesar Menotti and Carlos Bilardo, both World Cup winning coaches.    Also, what does the 2022 World Cup win say about Argentina today?

In this episode, Dr Amy Saunders and Dr Johanna Strong join Susannah to speak about their Royal Studies Journal Cluster, “Queenship and Cross-Confessional Identity”. The Cluster features in the December issue of the Royal Studies Journal and is available open-access through the RSJ website. Guest Bios:Amy has recently completed a PhD in early modern history and heritage at the University of Winchester, supervised by Dr Ellie Woodacre and Dr Simon Sandall. Her research examines the representation of Stuart royal narratives in modern heritage sites, exploring the reconstructed narratives of James VI & I, Anna of Denmark, Charles I, Henrietta Maria, Charles II, and Catherine of Braganza. Confessional and national identity are central themes in Amy's research and are relevant in both her work on the seventeenth century and the modern heritage sites she examines. Her forthcoming book chapter, “Curating a Conduit: Elizabeth Stuart, Motherhood and National Identity in Heritage Sites”, explores how James and Anna's daughter Elizabeth has been repositioned as the ideal ‘English' royal woman in modern heritage sites in England. Johanna completed her PhD at the University of Winchester under the supervision of Drs Ellie Woodacre and Simon Sandall. Her thesis focused on how narratives of religion, national identity, and gender influenced the creation and perpetuation of Mary I's legacy in the dominant English historical narrative from 1558 until 1660. Her research has been featured on a variety of podcasts and informed Winchester Cathedral's 3-part series on Mary I and Philip II's wedding at the Cathedral. Her first published chapter appeared in Valerie Schutte and Jessica S. Hower's award-winning volume Writing Mary I: History, Historiography, and Fiction and her first monograph is forthcoming. Johanna is the Digital Seminar Series Coordinator for the Royal Studies Network and is the Social Media Coordinator for all things RSN.

We're familiar with the idea that history shapes contemporary politics, but what about the reverse? How do today's political dynamics influence the way we remember the past?In this episode, we explore a compelling study that examines this question in the context of Ukraine—a country caught between conflicting historical narratives from Russia and the West.Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the nation has endured not only a devastating war but also an intense battle over history, identity, and legitimacy. Yet, these struggles are deeply rooted in Ukraine's complex past.The study we discuss was conducted in 2019, offering a snapshot from before the war. It investigates how Ukrainians recall their families' experiences of victimisation during the Second World War and whether these memories are shaped by their present-day political beliefs.Joining us to discuss these findings is Kristin Bakke, Professor of Political Science and International Relations at UCL and co-author of the study. Mentioned in this episode:Bakke, K. M., Rickard, K., O'Loughlin, J., & Toal, G. (2024). Politicizing Memory: Evidence from Ukraine. Problems of Post-Communism, 1–20. The study in The Conversation.

From Pulitzer Center: “Germans Thought They Were Immune to Nationalism After Confronting Their Nazi Past. They Were Wrong”Tim Bayly interviews Jürgen von Hagen on Christian nationalism, exploring its historical roots within the Lutheran Church during the Nazi regime. They discuss Toby Von Hagen's (Jürgen's son) thesis on the church's intertwining of theology and national identity, its subsequent alignment with nationalism, and the dangers of merging faith with political aspirations. The conversation highlights parallels with contemporary American Christian Nationalism and critiques the impact of political nationalism on faith and doctrine. Jürgen reflects on historical figures like Martin Niemöller and the complexities of academic integrity in the face of political correctness. They conclude by sharing personal insights about faith in relation to professional life and current moral dilemmas.Chapters0:05 Toby's Thesis2:15 Church and State Dynamics8:31 The American Perspective11:45 The Rise of Christian Nationalism16:18 The Barman Declaration20:50 The World Economic Summit23:52 Experts and Academics30:28 Reflections on the Third Reich36:12 The Role of the Church40:49 Experiences in Leadership43:16 Vice Rector Responsibilities48:11 Diversity in Universities50:22 Journey to Pastoral Leadership57:13 Relationships and Reconciliation1:01:30 Future Aspirations and Service1:03:40 Final Thoughts and FriendshipTagsTim Bayly, Juergen Von Hagen, Christian nationalism, Lutheran Church, Nazi regime, theology, national identity, academic integrity, Martin Niemöller, political correctness, faith, professional life***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.
