We have a slightly different format for this podcast episode! A little while ago we floated the idea to our flaired users of a podcast episode where various answers were read out by the answerers themselves. This lets our flaired users highlight some of their answers that they think were particularly spectacular, and gives their answers another chance to reacha new audience! On our first episode of this type, user trevor_culley reads off four of his answers on Persian History! 43min.
This week we're covering the namesake chapter of this season and who better to help us break it down than Andrew from the Ministry Misfits! We're covering Esther chapter 4 and discussing why it's so important to understand what the scriptures are saying in this chapter and why it's dangerous to read ourselves into the text. This is the point in the story where we see the full faith of Mordecai on display as well as Esther's response to it. If you enjoy having conversation about the intersection of the life of faith and politics/sociology this is the episode for you.

This week we're jumping into Esther chapter 3. In this chapter we'll be looking at Mordecai's decision not to pay homage to the promoted Haman and what his motivations may have been. We'll then be looking at everything that spirals out from Haman's reaction of hurt pride We're unpacking this moment in history in an effort to look at this piece of the history of the Jewish people to understand the beauty of the moment when we understand that while God is in control, there is a yes/and relationship with our ability to respond.

“A leader is a dealer in hope.” —Napoleon BonaparteHere in Episode 35, we take closer look at two perhaps lesser-known great leaders in history. When all hope was lost and the odds were stacked against them, they defied all probability and led their men safely home. These are two of the most fascinating adventure stories ever told – one on land and one on water and what's even better… the truth is stranger than fiction. If you were to see these stories on the big screen, you'd probably say, “no way, that's impossible.” But Sir Ernest Shackleton and Xenophon did the extraordinary and both lived to tell their tales. Episode Notes:Shackleton's final Antarctic expedition of 1921-22 had imprecise goals but one of them was a possible circumnavigation of the continent.

Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon, and Sun Tzu would have had a lot to say about it!2500 years ago, the Greek historian and soldier Xenophon wrote what is now called Cyrus the Great. In this episode, we're exploring the wisdom and virtue of Cyrus, as I take you through my favourite highlights of the story. Even the music is arranged with Persian instruments!In the Collisions segment, I compare Cyrus the Great to The Art of War by Sun Tzu. This part gets into some of the impressive military strategies that Cyrus utilized.The final book covered is Sun Tzu for Success by Gerald Michaelson. This is where we tie it all in to how we can use the wisdom of Cyrus and the strategies of Sun Tzu in our lives today.This is a special episode for me, and if you enjoy it in any way, it would mean the world if you could leave a review and send me a message on Instagram! @kail.letkemannHope you enjoy!

On today's show, Shahram Aghamir speaks with Erdem Yörük, a sociologist at Koç University in Turkey about workers' rights and safety in Turkey. On May 13th, Turkey witnessed what has been characterized as the deadliest mining accident in Turkish modern history. This tragedy has raised questions about the impact of neo-liberal and privatization policies of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and its far reaching impact on the lives of millions of workers in Turkey. Later in the program, Malihe Razazan hosts a conversation with John Lee, Associate Professor of history at UC Santa Barbara and Dr. Jaleh Niazi of HistoryAdvocates, about a new campagin to bring radical change in the way ancient Persian civilization is being taught in K-12 public education. The post Voices of the Middle East and North Africa – ” Coal mine tragedy in Turkey and correcting ancient Persian history in schools” appeared first on KPFA.
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. In 1859 the poet Edward FitzGerald published a long poem based on the verses of the 11th-century Persian scholar Omar Khayyam. Not a single copy was sold in the first few months after the work's publication, but after it came to the notice of members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood it became enormously influential. Although only loosely based on the original, the Rubaiyat made Khayyam the best-known Eastern poet in the English-speaking world. FitzGerald's version is itself one of the most admired works of Victorian literature, praised and imitated by many later writers. With: Charles Melville Professor of Persian History at the University of Cambridge Daniel Karlin Winterstoke Professor of English Literature at the University of Bristol Kirstie Blair Professor of English Studies at the University of Stirling Producer: Thomas Morris.

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the epic poem the Shahnameh of Ferdowsi, the 'Book of Kings', which has been at the heart of Persian culture for the past thousand years. The poem recounts a legendary history of Iran from the dawn of time to the fall of the Persian Empire in the 7th century and serves, in a sense, as a creation myth for the Persian nation. The Shahnameh took Ferdowsi thirty years to write and, consisting of over 50,000 verses, is said to be the longest poem ever written by a single author. Laced with tragedy, Ferdowsi's epic chronicles battles, romances, family rifts and Man's interior struggle with himself. Although the stories may not always be true they have a profound resonance with Iranians even today, and the poem has been referred to as both the 'encyclopaedia of Iranian culture' and the identity card of the Persian people. With: Narguess Farzad Senior Fellow in Persian at SOAS, University of London Charles Melville Professor of Persian History at Pembroke College at the University of Cambridge Vesta Sarkhosh Curtis Curator of Middle Eastern Coins at the British Museum Producer: Natalia Fernandez.
