This week, Mitchell Prothero joins us with his report on why Jared Kushner is pursuing a multi-million-dollar development deal on an uninhabitable former Cold War air base in Albania. Then, many of you are no doubt watching Outrageous, the new series on BritBox that charts the dazzling and controversial lives of the Mitford sisters. Well, our colleague George Pendle reveals that the glamorous sisters' lives were more complicated than we knew, filled with suicides, Nazi-esque orgies, and a classic P. G. Wodehouse character with a radioactive legacy: British Fascist Oswald Mosley, the second husband of Diana Mitford. And finally, Michelle Mone, the scandal-plagued lingerie hawker known as "Baroness Bra," has become a pariah in her native United Kingdom. Now she's trying to start fresh in—where else?—Florida. Stuart Heritage will join us from England to give us the story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How do you grow your revenues without upsetting your existing customers?  In this episode, Colin Shaw and Professor Ryan Hamilton dive into the new book he has written with Anne Wilson, Senior Lecturer at Wharton.  Published by Harvard Business Review Press, the book is called:  The Growth Dilemma: Managing Your Brand When Different Customers Want Different Things Available here: https://bit.ly/3ZCN2wD Professor Ryan Hamilton reveal how brand growth often gets derailed not by bad strategy, but by insufficient attention to how your customer segments relate to each other. You may think your audiences are living on separate islands, but spoiler alert: they're not. They're watching each other, seeing what the other does, and sometimes they don't like it and will move elsewhere.  From Crocs to Prius to the Bud Light fiasco (and yes, even neo-Nazis in New Balance sneakers), this episode pulls no punches. It's a fast-paced, funny, and brutally honest look at why many brands fail to grow—and how you can avoid becoming the following cautionary tale.

Today's True Weird Stuff - Nazi Farm Part 1   Paul Schäfer was a Nazi who, after World War II, would go on to become a minister. When Schäfer was accused of abusing two young boys at his orphanage, he fled to Chile and started a community called Colonia Dignidad. Though this 53-square-mile compound looked peaceful on the outside, Colonia Dignidad was a horrific nightmare. Violence, abuse, forced separation of families, and an alliance with a Chilean dictator were just a few of the ways Paul Schäfer maintained control over his Nazi cult with an iron fist.

We're back at the trough this week. Author John Efron joins Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg to share some of the findings in his latest book, All Consuming: Germans, Jews, and the Meaning of Meat.

New York Times bestselling author, historian and White House correspondent Lynne Olson's new book The Sisterhood of Ravensbrück tells of defiance in a notorious women-only Nazi concentration camp. 

The story unfolds a dramatic narrative set during World War II, focusing on two German soldiers who find themselves in a tense situation at Dorset Manor. As they confront their fears and the reality of their actions, themes of duty, hallucination, and the haunting presence of the past emerge, culminating in a gripping climax involving a grenade and the laughter of the dead.takeawaysThe story is set during World War II.Two German soldiers encounter unexpected challenges.Themes of fear and duty are prevalent.Hallucinations blur the line between reality and imagination.The tension escalates with the introduction of a grenade.The soldiers grapple with their past actions.Laughter symbolizes the haunting presence of the dead.The narrative explores the psychological impact of war.Confrontation leads to a critical decision point.The aftermath reflects on the consequences of war.war, Nazi, soldiers, fear, hallucination, duty, confrontation, death, reality, tension

In this double episode celebrating pride month, Kate Wolf speaks with the critic Vince Aletti about his new book, "Physique," an assortment of hundreds of physique photos from Aletti's own personal collection. The images in the book represent a time when homosexual life in the US was illegal, existed mostly underground, and was by necessity furtive and coded. Yet throughout the country there were photo studios producing erotic and often very beautiful photographs of barely clothed men, and distributing them through mail order catalogues and small magazines. Aletti revisits these images and their quiet revolution in his book; post-Stonewall physique photos may have appeared timid or kitsch but today they point to a largely unknown story and genre of imagery that is worthy of reconsideration as well as enjoyment. Then Milo Todd discusses his novel "The Lilac People" with Eric Newman. Set in the aftermath of World War II, "The Lilac People" follows three queer Holocaust survivors—Bertie, a trans man; his girlfriend, Sofie; and a young trans man named Karl—as they attempt to flee a hostile postwar Germany. As they evade Allied forces who are re-imprisoning queer and trans survivors, they must also navigate betrayal, suspicion, and the ongoing threat of violence from neighbors and hidden Nazis alike. Todd's debut shines a light on a buried chapter of Holocaust history, one in which the queer and trans people, who were among the Reich's first victims, became victims anew after its fall.

¿Y si te dijera que los nazis desarrollaron una máquina del tiempo con forma de campana que viajaba por el aire? La historia de Die Glocke es uno de esos misterios que mezcla ciencia ficción, teorías conspiratorias y hechos históricos reales. Desde las Wunderwaffen del Tercer Reich hasta el extraño incidente de Kecksburg en 1965, donde algo con forma de campana se estrelló en Pensilvania... ¿Coincidencia? Los documentos oficiales brillan por su ausencia, pero los indicios son inquietantes. Werner von Braun, el coronel Hans Kammler, prototipos desaparecidos y tecnología imposible para su época. En DÍAS EXTRAÑOS desentrañamos una historia que conecta pasado y presente de forma perturbadora. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Depending on where you are in Europe, your right to a safe abortion — and reproductive care in general — can vary dramatically. This week, we speak to pioneering abortion activist Rebecca Gomperts about why she's hopeful that we can fight back against these inequalities as well as crackdowns on abortion access in other parts of the world. We're also talking about a rebel campaign in Germany to defeat a draconian Nazi-era law, and some disturbing research into the stuff that gets sprayed all over your fruit and vegetables.    You can find out more about Women on Waves here and Women on Web here.

We need a fresh perspective on propaganda. The old strategies for combating misinformation are no longer effective. Simply offering fact-checks isn't enough—those ensnared by propaganda aren't searching for facts. They're searching for something deeper: identity, belonging, and meaning. This is the central argument of a new book by Peter Pomerantsev, a renowned scholar of propaganda and information warfare. "How to Win an Information War" tells the story of British journalist Sefton Delmer, who developed innovative techniques to counter Nazi propaganda during World War II. Peter explores Delmer's legacy in hopes of uncovering lessons for today. Perhaps we, too, can learn something from both of them. Book: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/peter-pomerantsev/how-to-win-an-information-war/9781541774728/ Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, editor-in-chief of UkraineWorld, and president of PEN Ukraine. *** UkraineWorld is run by Internews Ukraine, one of the country's leading media NGOs.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- While appearing on Fox News, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) called out Democrats for comparing the U.S. Army's 250th birthday celebration to an authoritarian military parade. He explained: “Let's…stop ever comparing anyone, anything to the Nazis.” Is Fetterman's sudden shift to the political middle genuine or an act of political convenience? He has emphasized that he hasn't changed, the Democratic Party has—but in 2016, Fetterman endorsed Bernie Sanders for president saying: “He and I agree on virtually everything.” 4:15pm- In an interview with Fox News, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) called for regime change in Iran. 4:30pm- Corey DeAngelis—Senior Fellow at the American Culture Project & Author of the book, “The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten leaving her position at the DNC. But, as DeAngelis asks, why was she holding a position with the Democratic National Committee in the first place? He highlights that roughly 99% of AFT campaign donations over the past 30+ years have gone to Democrats—“it's a money laundering operation.”

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/17/2025): 3:05pm- Israel continues to strike Iranian nuclear development sites, ballistic missile launchers, and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps leadership. On Monday night, President Donald Trump was forced to leave the G7 Summit early in order to focus on the conflict. While speaking with the press aboard Air Force One, Trump said: “I'm not too much in a mood to negotiate” with Iran any longer. 3:10pm- According to a report from Alex Leary and Josh Dawsey of The Wall Street Journal, President Donald Trump met with advisors in the situation room on Tuesday—and is at least considering a U.S. strike on Iran. 3:15pm- Montage: For years, President Donald Trump has insisted that Iran cannot be allowed to develop and possess a nuclear weapon. 3:40pm- The New York Times reports that Fordo—“Iran's most heavily fortified nuclear site”—was constructed deep within a mountain and contains 3,000 sophisticated centrifuges. It's believed Israel does not possess the capabilities to destroy the facility unilaterally and they would require assistance from the U.S. which possesses 30,000-pound bombs. You can read the full report here: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/us/politics/iran-nuclear-site-israel.html. 3:45pm- In a series of posts to Truth Social, President Donald Trump wrote of Iran: “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader' is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there—we are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don't want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” He then posted: “Unconditional Surrender!” 4:05pm- While appearing on Fox News, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) called out Democrats for comparing the U.S. Army's 250th birthday celebration to an authoritarian military parade. He explained: “Let's…stop ever comparing anyone, anything to the Nazis.” Is Fetterman's sudden shift to the political middle genuine or an act of political convenience? He has emphasized that he hasn't changed, the Democratic Party has—but in 2016, Fetterman endorsed Bernie Sanders for president saying: “He and I agree on virtually everything.” 4:15pm- In an interview with Fox News, Sen.

But, as DeAngelis asks, why was she holding a position with the Democratic National Committee in the first place? He highlights that roughly 99% of AFT campaign donations over the past 30+ years have gone to Democrats—“it's a money laundering operation.” 5:05pm- In a series of posts to Truth Social, President Donald Trump wrote of Iran: “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader' is hiding.

Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” He then posted: “Unconditional Surrender!” 5:20pm- Where do Senators stand on Iranian regime change? Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ) have called for the Trump Administration to continue to negotiate with Iran. Meanwhile, Senators James Lankford (R-OK), John Fetterman (D-PA), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have opposed assassination but are openly calling for Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Khamenei to be toppled. 5:30pm- What the heck is “gibbeting”? 5:40pm- Breaking News: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been rushed to a D.C. hospital via ambulance.

Gary discusses two recent writings: one a book by Andrew Klavan and the other an article in World Magazine. Both deal with the question often asked by Dr. Gary North: "What is the proper response?" The Bible has the answers to today's moral dilemmas, but too often people believe that modern issues require modern solutions. The Bible deals with human life as it is, not in an idealized way. For this reason, its "ancient" answers are exactly what we need.

Life has been snatched from the jaws of death! Or is it the other way?

In this episode, we hear from with award-winning author, journalist and broadcaster Ben Arogundade about his latest book, Hollywood Blackout.Drawing on a century of film history, Hollywood Blackout explores how the Academy Awards have both resisted and reflected changing social forces — from the Nazi invasion of Europe to the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam, #OscarsSoWhite, and #BlackLivesMatter. Arogundade reveals how external political and cultural shocks shaped who was celebrated at the Oscars and when — and how Hollywood's slow path toward inclusion has been won by generations of under-recognised artists and activists.We discuss the ground breaking victories of Hattie McDaniel, Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington and Will Smith — and how moments of global crisis forced the Academy to evolve. Ben also shares powerful insights into the systemic barriers faced by Black, Asian, Latino, Indigenous, and female creatives throughout Hollywood history. Hollywood Blackout is a richly detailed, deeply researched account of the struggle for recognition in one of the world's most powerful cultural institutions. A must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of race, politics, and cinema.*****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

While one part of the German government tries to decide whether it's against international law to be sending weapons to a country that has started a war while committing genocide, another department is trying to figure out why one in four immigrants wants to leave the country. Meanwhile, we've apparently decided that enough Nazis are dead now so it's ok to have a military veterans' day. Plus, a tiny morsel of good news about urban speed limits.

What is happening behind closed doors in Britain's far right movement? On today's episode, we're joined by journalist Harry Shukman, the journalist who spent over a year undercover investigating the British far right. Drawing on his new book, Year of the Rat, Shukman sheds light on the secret meetings, pub gatherings, political canvassing, and neo-Nazi conferences at the heart of the extreme right-wing activity in Britain. Through his investigations, Shukman has effectively exposed the mechanics of how far-right ideologies – from eugenics to Holocaust denial – are being normalised across the country, often with surprising allies in big tech, government, and the mainstream media. Harry Shukman is a researcher at HOPE not hate, an anti-fascist organisation. Formerly a journalist, he worked as a news reporter for The Times and then a writer and editor for the Manchester Mill. Joining him to discuss the book is Carl Miller, the journalist, co-founder of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at Demos, and host of crime podcast Kill List.

From December 26, 2023: The Supreme Court during World War II issued some of the most notorious opinions in its history, including the Japanese exclusion case, Korematsu v. United States, and the Nazi saboteur military commission case, Ex parte Quirin. For a fresh take on these and related cases and a broader perspective on the Supreme Court during World War II, Jack Goldsmith sat down with Cliff Sloan, a professor at Georgetown Law Center and a former Special Envoy for Guantanamo Closure, to discuss his new book, which is called “The Court at War: FDR, His Justices, and the World They Made.” They discussed how the Court's decisions during World War II were informed by the very close personal bonds of affection that most of the justices had with President Roosevelt and by the justices' intimate attachment to and involvement with the war effort. They also discussed the fascinating internal deliberations in Korematsu, Quirin, and other momentous cases, and the puzzle of why the same court that issued these decisions also, during the same period, issued famous rights-expanding decisions in the areas of reproductive freedom, voting rights, and freedom of speech.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

REFRESHER COURSE ON WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THE 1930S IN THE LAND OF BACH AND MOZART:   5/8: Takeover: Hitler's Final Rise to Power Hardcover – Deckle Edge, by  Timothy W. Ryback  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Takeover-Hitlers-Final-Rise-Power/dp/0593537424 From the internationally acclaimed author of Hitler's Private Library, a dramatic recounting of the six critical months before Adolf Hitler seized power, when the Nazi leader teetered between triumph and ruin In the summer of 1932, the Weimar Republic was on the verge of collapse. One in three Germans was unemployed. Violence was rampant. Hitler's National Socialists surged at the polls. Paul von Hindenburg, an aging war hero and avowed monarchist, was a reluctant president bound by oath to uphold the constitution. The November elections offered Hitler the prospect of a Reichstag majority and the path to political power. But instead, the Nazis lost two million votes. As membership hemorrhaged and financial backers withdrew, the Nazi Party threatened to fracture. Hitler talked of suicide. The New York Times declared he was finished. Yet somehow, in a few brief weeks, he was chancellor of Germany.  1934 BERLIN
