In July 1975, former competitors the Soviet Union and the United States both launched rockets into the sky within hours of each other, as part of a joint project. They wanted two spacecraft, from two different countries, to achieve the first international docking in space. While millions watched on TV, the cosmonauts and astronauts opened the hatches between the two vehicles and shook hands, then shared meals and conducted joint science experiments. In 2022, former NASA chief historian, Bill Barry told Nick Holland why the unique rendezvous was a turning point. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there.

74:The Metal Maniacs Podcast : Interview with Mike Poshedly of The Wounded Touch In this episode, host Jay Ingersoll dives deep into the harsh and chaotic world of Midwestern hardcore with special guest Mike Poshedly, guitarist for the punishing hardcore outfit, *The Wounded Touch*. Known for their noisy, raw sound that pushes boundaries, The Wounded Touch has been shaking up the scene with their unique blend of distortion-heavy, emotionally charged music that demands attention. Jay and Mike discuss the origins of the band, how their sound developed, and the journey from their 2019 debut album *From This Day 0 Forward* to their most recent single *Submitted for Disapproval* (released July 2024). Mike offers insight into the writing process behind their shorter, yet impactful songs, exploring the themes of tension and release that define their sound. Fans of heavy, abrasive music will appreciate the conversation about how the band crafts their brutal sonic landscape, blending noise and groove into something distinctly Midwestern. Mike also opens up about his bandmates — Nick Holland on vocals, Ben Jenson on guitar, Jeremy Schultz on drums, and Kyle Maddock on bass — and how each member contributes to the volatile energy of the band. The discussion touches on the evolution of the band's sound, including the more melodic elements found on tracks like "Condolences and Autumn Nights" from *Americanxiety* (2022), and how they balance clean parts with relentless heaviness. Expect some in-depth talk about the gear and production choices that give The Wounded Touch their crushing tone, from guitar rigs, saturated distortion that defines their live sound. They also delve into the creative process, touching on everything from songwriting patterns and riffs to when a guitar solo finds its place in the chaos. The episode is packed with stories from the road, as Mike recounts some of the band's favorite live performances, worst show experiences, and upcoming tour plans. You'll also hear about how *The Wounded Touch* creates a captivating atmosphere during their performances and what keeps them motivated in an ever-evolving hardcore scene. For anyone interested in the DIY ethic and intense energy of hardcore, this conversation is a must-listen. Plus, Mike reveals some of his favorite hobbies outside of music and what he's currently spinning on his playlist. Whether you're a die-hard fan of *The Wounded Touch* or just discovering them, this episode offers a raw, unfiltered look into the world of one of hardcore's most interesting acts.

Plans announced in the Budget to spend £1 million on a war memorial for Muslim soldiers who died in the two World Wars have been applauded by campaigners, but others worry it is singling out one religious group for special treatment. Some have also questioned the timing of the announcement, when the Conservative Party is facing allegations of Islamophobia.What role did Muslims play in the two World Wars? Do other religious groups have their own memorials? And how have monuments like this become flashpoints of the culture wars?

On this Bonfire night special Bunker Gold, let us take you back to November 2020… Was Guy Fawkes really “the last honest man to enter Parliament”, as we keep hearing on Twitter? Or a fore-runner of today's religiously radicalised terrorists? Why is a villain of the Gunpowder Plot acclaimed as a hero by some in 2020? Nick Holland, author of The Real Guy Fawkes, tells Jude Rogers why Guy Fawkes persists as a symbol… and what we misunderstand about a man who almost murdered thousands in a 17th century atrocity. “Guy Fawkes is a complicated figure – so both political sides can claim him.” “It's estimated he'd gathered enough gunpowder to destroy Parliament 25 times over.” Presented by Jude Rogers. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production Learn more about your ad choices.

We are breaking from our typical format because of the intense news that is developing around the crypto markets, and how that is affecting businesses in that sector of the industry. We all know that the price of cryptocurrencies dropped. Bitcoin dove to a year low of $26284. Ethereum dove to $1792. Both seem to be stabilizing, but are very far from their beginning of the year highs. Even bigger are the stories about Luna and TerraUSD. TerraUSD is a stablecoin that is pegged to the USDollar, and managed to fall sharply under the $1 mark dragged down by Luna, which is the sister cryptocurrency. Luna has collapsed. As of this recording on May 12, 2022 at 3pm, it had dropped in value by 99% and is worth a little more than a penny. This has caused a certain amount of chaos at different crypto businesses, and their consumers.Today, Sanjib Kalita, Nick Holland, Micky Tesfaye and Rachel Morrissey take a look at whether the nature of cryptocurrency is amenable to sustainable business models, what type of oversight can crypto exchanges and businesses expect, and what this will mean for private and public stablecoins.

Zohra Drif was 21 years old when she planted a bomb that exploded at a busy ice-cream parlour in Algiers. The Algerian student targeted the venue in 1956 during her country's war of independence with France, because she knew it would be frequented by European settlers. Dozens of civilians were maimed by the blast, which marked the start of a new phase of urban conflict known as the Battle of Algiers. Nick Holland hears from Zohra Drif about what happened that day, and from Danielle Chich, who was enjoying a cold treat at the café when the bomb went off.

In August 2008, Russia went to war with another former Soviet republic, Georgia. The conflict began after Georgia attempted to recapture the breakaway region of South Ossetia, which had fought a separatist war with Tbilisi during the 1990s. As fighting escalated, Russia sent in troops - seizing control of South Ossetia and also of Georgia's other breakaway region, Abkhazia. The five-day war ended in humiliation for Georgia - several towns, a Black Sea port and military airfields were bombed by the Russian air force. Several hundred people were killed and thousands of ethnic Georgians displaced. Nick Holland reports. PHOTO: Russian troops on their way to South Ossetia in 2008 (Getty Images)

In June 2012 one of the solar system's rarest of astronomical events took place, when it was possible to see the planet Venus fly past the face of the Sun. It appears when the orbits of Earth and Venus momentarily line up, but that happens only four times every 243 years. Astronomers in Australia, London and Hawaii tell Nick Holland what it was like watching the sight, one they will never get to see again because they won't be alive when it next reappears in the year 2117.

Scientists are checking up on the health of forests by analysing the sounds in them. They test their vital signs by measuring the croaks, tweets and hums of resident creatures. If they can hear a full range of animals they can be confident an ecosystem is doing well. However, if gaps start to appear, it's a sign something is up. Nick Holland hears more about how it works and how it's being used to strike a balance between the needs of Papua New Guinea's growing indigenous communities and the need to preserve the biodiversity of the forests they live off.

In 2005 thousands of tonnes of petrol ignited at a fuel depot 40 kilometres North-West of London. The explosion was the largest in the UK since the end of the WWII. The blast, which severely damaged surrounding homes and properties, was reportedly heard in Holland. Despite the enormous amount of damage, nobody was killed. The fire destroyed large parts of the depot, leading to shortages of fuel at petrol stations in the weeks that followed. Five firms were eventually fined millions of dollars for safety failures that led to the blast. Greg Smith tells Witness History what it was like to be inside the depot at the time of the explosion.
