Adam and Josh continue Filmspotting’s Dissident Cinema Marathon with Akira Kurosawa’s 1946 drama No Regrets for Our Youth. Released in the immediate aftermath of WWII, the film stands out as a blatantly political entry in Kurosawa's catalog — and notably, his only film featuring a sole female protagonist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this powerful two-part episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes two amazing guests whose books open doors to big conversations and joyful family reading. First, Jed talks with Kimberly Mach, author of the middle-grade novel Present Still Missing. Set just after World War II, the story follows Irene, a baseball-loving girl whose father returns from the war physically present but emotionally distant as he struggles with PTSD—long before it even had that name. Kimberly shares how the book grew from her love of this "out-of-her-time" character and her fascination with the often-overlooked years immediately after the war. She and Jed explore how stories like this can help families talk about mental health, trauma, and the complicated emotions kids feel when a parent is struggling. Kimberly also reflects on moving reader encounters, including a veteran dad who opened up to his daughters at a book event. Then Jed welcomes Kelly Riera, debut picture book author of What Trucks Love to Do: Wreck and Build Construction Crew. Kelly describes her rhyming, high-energy truck tale, where the vehicles themselves are the characters—waking up, brushing their "teeth," fueling up, working hard, and persevering through a busy construction day. Inspired by her own truck-obsessed kids (and the lack of enough good truck books), Kelly talks about the challenge of writing in rhyme, collaborating with an illustrator, and the joy of seeing her children proudly share her book with classmates. She also gives a sneak peek at book two, What Trucks Love to Do: Help and Serve Crew, celebrating community-helper vehicles and the essential work they represent.

Join Dale Partridge as he unpacks the Post-War Consensus and explains how America went from a strong, nationalistic, patriarchal, Christian nation to a secular hellhole of diversity, tolerance, feminism, multiculturalism, and radical individualism in under 60 years. In this episode, Dale traces the historical foundations that erased racial, sexual, national, and religious distinctions, reveals the five main drivers behind the shift—including collective guilt, Marxism, globalism, and the triumph of the selfish Boomer generation—and delivers a hard-hitting Weekly Audit exposing black partiality in the court system and the relentless cultivation of white guilt in mainstream media.

In this unique “history from below," Destination Elsewhere: Displaced Persons and Their Quest to Leave Postwar Europe (Cornell University Press, 2021) chronicles encounters between displaced persons in Europe and the Allied agencies who were tasked with caring for them after the Second World War. The struggle to define who was a displaced person and who was not was a subject of intense debate and deliberation among humanitarians, international law experts, immigration planners, and governments. What has not adequately been recognized is that displaced persons also actively participated in this emerging refugee conversation. Displaced persons endured war, displacement, and resettlement, but these experiences were not defined by passivity and speechlessness. Instead, they spoke back, creating a dialogue that in turn helped shape the modern idea of the refugee.  As Ruth Balint shows, what made a good or convincing story at the time tells us much about the circulation of ideas about the war, the Holocaust, and the Jews. Those stories depict the emerging moral and legal distinction between economic migrants and political refugees. They tell us about the experiences of women and children in the face of new psychological and political interventions into the family. Stories from displaced persons also tell us something about the enduring myth of the new world for people who longed to leave the old.  Balint focuses on those persons whose storytelling skills became a major strategy for survival and escape out of the displaced persons' camps and out of the Europe. Their stories are brought to life in Destination Elsewhere, alongside a new history of immigration, statelessness, and the institution of the postwar family.  Ruth Balint is Associate Professor of History at University of New South Wales. She is the author of Troubled Waters and coauthor of Smuggled. Geraldine Gudefin is a modern Jewish historian researching Jewish migrations, family life, and legal pluralism. She is currently a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Asian Legal Studies at the National University of Singapore, and is completing a book titled An Impossible Divorce? East European Jews and the Limits of Legal Pluralism in France, 1900-1939. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is a smaller, almost impromptu episode before I get to my next intended topic. During my last trip, the historic connection I was trying to make was to Charlemagne and his imperial capital at Aachen. That's still coming, both some games and a podcast episode. With that in mind, I'd specifically been trying not to get into more WW2 history while visiting Frankfurt, Cologne, and some places in-between. However, it still came up in the form of social history, the recent decades since 1945. I saw some sites about that, I read a book, saw a film, and wanted to share some thoughts on the podcast. But what about a game? This time I wasn't thinking of traditional military history--I was learning more about socio-political history. Fortunately, since 2014 our hobby has had a perfect game for this topic, Wir sind das Volk. It's a game I appreciated and played a few times when it was new, but its latest incarnation on Rally The Troops has given me many more opportunities to play it. What a rewarding tie-in to my reading and travels.

Postwar international order is in flux as Xi Jinping welcomes Vladimir Putin and projects Beijing as the world’s stable power.

What started in 1956 as a modest experiment in unity has evolved into one of the world's most watched live music events. The Eurovision Song Contest was born under the umbrella of the European Broadcasting Union, inspired by Italy's Sanremo Festival, with a simple mission: bring countries together through music after the scars of World War II. Just seven nations took part in that first edition. Today, it's a cultural phenomenon spanning continents, drawing hundreds of millions of viewers.In its early years, Eurovision followed strict rules. Each country submitted one original song, performed live with an orchestra, and juries decided the winner behind closed doors. There was no public vote, no spectacle—just music and a touch of diplomacy. But as the decades passed, the contest adapted. By the late 1990s, televoting entered the scene, giving audiences a direct voice. Today, the results are split between professional juries and public voting, creating a dynamic and sometimes unpredictable outcome.One of the most controversial moments came in 1969, when four countries; Spain, the United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands—ended in a historic tie. With no tie-breaking rules in place, all four were declared winners. The fallout led to rule changes that still shape the contest today.Beyond the glitter and eccentric performances, Eurovision has developed an undeniable political undercurrent. Neighborly voting patterns, geopolitical tensions, and cultural alliances often influence results, whether openly acknowledged or not. Yet, this complexity is part of its intrigue it reflects Europe as it is, not just as it sings.And then there's the legacy. Eurovision has launched global icons. ABBA's victory in 1974 catapulted them to worldwide fame. Céline Dion's win for Switzerland in 1988 marked the beginning of an extraordinary international career. Even artists who didn't win, like Olivia Newton-John, found their moment on this stage.From black-and-white broadcasts to dazzling LED productions, Eurovision remains a mirror of its time, equal parts music, spectacle, and subtle strategy. Love it or question it, you can't ignore it.

But on top of a captive politics & media distorting the context of the event, they also made effort not to mention that there was a Muslim victim in the event.

Will this preparation do anything to at least neutralise our impending doom? (Article By Natalie Donback)In Politics: (40:25) Over in the US, the Voting Right Act - the landmark act centred by the Civil Rights Movement - was gutted by the US Supreme Court.

Japan is witnessing its largest anti-war protests in decades. Since coming into power, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has taken major steps away from Japan's post-war pacifism, lifting restrictions on lethal weapons exports and actively seeking political support for revising the constitution. As a result, a sentiment against remilitarization is gaining momentum in Japan. How worrisome is Japan's deviation from pacifism under Takaichi? How far will Tokyo go in that direction? Host Ding Heng is joined by Professor Anna Rosario Malindog-Uy, Director and Vice President for External Affairs of Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute; Lee Pei May, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the International Islamic University Malaysia; Zoon Ahmed Khan, Research Fellow at Center for China and Globalization.

The Iran war is an unprecedented crisis but South-east Asia is better placed to handle it. Synopsis: Every second Friday of the month, The Straits Times’ senior columnist Ravi Velloor distils 45 years of experience covering the Asian continent, with expert guests. The US-Israeli assault on Iran, which led to the effective closure of the Straits of Hormuz, has seized up many Asian economies which are seeing rising fuel prices, soaring airline ticket costs and leaving restaurants short of cooking fuel. But South-east Asia, with memories of the Asian Financial Crisis of the late 1990s still fresh in memory is better placed macro-economically to tackle the crisis - evidenced in investors’ confidence in stocks such as DBS, SIA and OCBC. In this wide-ranging episode, host Ravi Velloor speaks with Thilan Wickramasinghe, head of research at Maybank Securities and an expert on the interplay of geopolitics, macro-economics and the stock market. They unpack the full dimensions of the crisis before discussing how Asia is likely to fare when it ends, as it must some day. Mr Wickramasinghe offers some advice: It has paid off for investors to be long on stocks, he says, and there is a case to keep some gold in your portfolio, as well as energy stocks. Highlights (click/tap above) 1:38 A Michelle Yeoh, Di Caprio-style crisis 8:16 South-east Asia is better placed than other regions 14:09 DBS, SIA - why some stocks do better than the rest 15:33 Opportunities for investors in this crisis 17:59 Post-War realities to watch for 21:10 Equities will never go out of fashion Read Ravi's columns: https://str.sg/3xRP Follow Ravi on X: https://twitter.com/RaviVelloor Sign up for ST’s weekly Asian Insider newsletter: https://str.sg/sfpz Host: Ravi Velloor (velloor@sph.com.sg) Produced and edited by: Fa’izah Sani Executive producer: Ernest Luis Follow Asian Insider Podcast on Fridays here: Channel: https://str.sg/JWa7 Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWa8 Spotify: https://str.sg/JWaX Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg --- Follow more ST podcast channels: All-in-one ST Podcasts channel: https://str.sg/wvz7 Get more updates: http://str.sg/stpodcasts The Usual Place Podcast YouTube: https://str.sg/4Vwsa --- Get The Straits Times app, which has a dedicated podcast player section: The App Store: https://str.sg/icyB Google Play: https://str.sg/icyX --- #STAsianInsiderSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bullet bras, bazookas, bombshells, bikinis. In Atomic Bombshells: How Plastics Shaped Postwar Bodies (Duke UP, 2026), Dr. Isabelle Held challenges the usual narratives of how war technologies enter domestic use by following plastics on their journey into women's bodies. Dr. Held explores the effects of military-industrial science and the emergence of nylon, silicone, and plastic foams on embodied and expressive configurations of gender, sexuality, and race. She focuses on the United States between the late 1930s with the launch of nylon—whose potential was widely celebrated as the world's first fully synthetic fiber and the ideal replacement for silk stockings—and the late 1970s, when policies began addressing the dangerous health consequences of implantable plastics. Dr. Held untangles the complex relationships between chemical companies, the US military, the Federal Drug Administration, plastic surgeons, advertising agencies, the Hollywood star system, go-go dancers, drag queens, and fashion and industrial designers. Using feminist, queer, and trans lenses, she shows that there was never just one bombshell identity. In so doing, Dr. Held complicates typical understandings of the shaping and reshaping of gender. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

She focuses on the United States between the late 1930s with the launch of nylon—whose potential was widely celebrated as the world's first fully synthetic fiber and the ideal replacement for silk stockings—and the late 1970s, when policies began addressing the dangerous health consequences of implantable plastics. Dr. Held untangles the complex relationships between chemical companies, the US military, the Federal Drug Administration, plastic surgeons, advertising agencies, the Hollywood star system, go-go dancers, drag queens, and fashion and industrial designers. Using feminist, queer, and trans lenses, she shows that there was never just one bombshell identity. In so doing, Dr. Held complicates typical understandings of the shaping and reshaping of gender. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

World War II brought global upheaval in the 1940s and caused a redirection of national priorities and placed a temporary pause on regulatory and conservation momentum of the 1930s. After the war, returning veterans became the pioneers in waterfowl management and led to a new era of scientific discovery, regulatory creativity, and a growing need for state and federal coordination via Flyways.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with science writer Matt Ridley for a wide ranging conversation on the collapse of the post war consensus, the crisis of expertise, and the growing distrust in global institutions.We examine the failure of international organisations, from the WHO to the United Nations, and why the rules based order is now being challenged across the world. Ridley explains how technocratic systems, built after 1945, have become detached from reality, and why top down control has repeatedly failed to account for how complex systems actually work.The conversation explores the politicisation of science, from Covid origins to climate change, and how institutional incentives, funding pressures, and groupthink can distort the pursuit of truth. We discuss the suppression of debate, the lab leak theory, and the growing perception that scientific authority is being used to defend power rather than question it.We also debate Net Zero, energy policy, and why Britain's economic stagnation is increasingly tied to high energy costs, overregulation, and political decision making that prioritises ideology over growth. Ridley outlines how innovation, markets, and technological breakthroughs are transforming the United States, and why the UK risks being left behind.A deep and challenging conversation about science, power, and whether the institutions that shaped the modern world are now losing the trust of the people they were built to serve.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction01:31 The Collapse of the Post-War Consensus03:01 The Rise of the “Expert Class” and Technocracy05:00 Bottom-Up vs Top-Down Systems Explained07:49 Covid Origins: The Lab Leak Cover-Up10:00 When Science Became Political11:09 Protecting Institutions Over Truth13:18 Climate Science and the Incentive to Exaggerate15:00 The WHO, China and the Failure of Accountability18:05 Why Covid Attribution Matters20:00 Biological Risk and the Failure of Global Oversight23:05 Bureaucracy, Incentives and Institutional Self-Preservation25:46 Net Zero and the Climate “Consensus”29:36 The Hockey Stick Scandal and Scientific Groupthink31:43 Why Dissent Is Shut Down in Science33:36 Climate as Religion and Moral Dogma37:02 The Threat to Enlightenment Values43:13 Are We Witnessing the End of the Enlightenment?48:06 Britain's Economic Stagnation and Energy Crisis49:40 Why Energy Policy Determines Prosperity52:46 How Britain “Designed a Stupid Energy System”55:00 America's Energy Revolution: Shale and Fracking56:59 The Nuclear Bottleneck and Regulatory Failure59:19 A New Era of Innovation and Growth1:01:21 Why Britain Is Falling Behind1:02:25 Overregulation and the Collapse of UK Industry1:04:10 What Would It Take to Fix Britain?1:07:10 Can Britain Recover or Face Long-Term Decline?1:08:09 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

The episode recounts the January 23–24, 1942 night raid at Balikpapan in the Dutch East Indies, seven weeks after Pearl Harbor, when Commander Paul Talbot led four aging Clemson-class destroyers (USS John D. Ford, Pope, Parrott, and Paul Jones) through the Makassar Strait toward burning Dutch-demolished oil facilities to attack a Japanese invasion convoy anchored off the coast. With no air cover, limited equipment, and unreliable Mark 15 torpedoes, the destroyers used the refinery fires for navigation and target silhouette, fired the first American surface-launched torpedoes of WWII against Japan, shifted to gunfire amid smoke and confusion, and withdrew before dawn with all four ships intact. Postwar records confirm four Japanese transports and patrol boat P-37 sunk, additional damage inflicted, but the invasion succeeded; the hosts emphasize morale, tactical lessons, and torpedo-failure documentation. The episode closes honoring Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Manuel Reyes Denton, killed in Vietnam in 1963 during a rescue mission.

Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story Recognized as "The Greatest Film of All Time" in the 2012 Sight and Sound Magazine poll, Yasujiro Ozu's 1953 masterpiece is a quiet, contemplative examination of generational conflict, modernization, and aging in Post-War Japan. Masterfully directed and beautifully acted by Ozu's stock company, including Chishū Ryū and Setsuko Hara, Tokyo Story is arguably the greatest film in Ozu's ouvreau and one of the most powerful examples of slow cinema.  A minimalist masterpiece that few directors have attempted to emulate, Ozu is a director that all cineastes eventually arrive at and - often. - find themselves unable to forget.

Reflecting upon the phenomenal growth of the American Yeshiva society in the second half of the 20th century, one tends to focus on the great accomplishments of individual leaders such as Rav Aharon Kotler, Rav Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, the Satmar Rav, institutions such as Torah Umesorah, RIETS, RJJ, BMG and other internal development within American Orthodoxy. However there's a broader narrative, with gradual processes taking place in broader American society which facilitated the growth of yeshivos during this time. Economic, social and demographic changes in the United States in the postwar era, LBJ's Great Society and the Vietnam War draft, are all external factors which facilitated the growth of the American yeshiva community. External factors are often overlooked but are no less important in understanding Jewish history.

Sean McMeekin describes how Stalin exploited Lend-Lease beyond military necessity, using the program to acquire industrial equipment, raw materials, and nuclear-related supplies while manipulating Western generosity to strengthen Soviet postwar capabilities and strategic position.1941 ROSTOV

The Jesse Scouts crippled Lee's retreat by intercepting supply trains, forcing the Confederate surrender at Appomattox. Rejecting guerrilla warfare to preserve the nation, Lee accepted Grant's respectful terms. Post-war, former partisan Mosby surprisingly became a Republican and close friend of President Grant, aiding national reconciliation.
