Vikingar som bildade riken

En aspekt av vikingatidens historia som lämnade starkast möjliga spår i eftervärlden var riksbildningen. Det var nu Sverige, Norge och Danmark framträdde som kungariken i nivå med de redan etablerade rikena på kontinenten och på brittiska öarna. De första fröna såddes till det som långt senare skulle utvecklas till nationalstater. Vikingatidens mest framgångsrika vikingatida hövdingar gick följaktligen till historien som riksbildare och landsfäder.Men varför? Att förena flera bygder och herravälden till ett rike var inget som gjordes i en handvändning, och att dessutom ge härskarämbetet en radikalt ny image genom mynt, kristendom, kröningsritualer, militära bastioner och städer var svårsmält för hela den gamla järnålderseliten. När de jylländska kungarna Harald Blåtand och Sven Tveskägg under andra hälften av 900-talet underlade sig hela den danska övärlden och Skånelandskapen och upprättade ett överhöghetsvälde över Norge var det en revolution uppifrån som svepte bort gamla dynastier och maktcentra och etablerade en härskarordning efter tyskt mönster som aldrig tidigare existerat i Norden. En liknande process ägde några decennier senare rum i Norge under Olav Tryggvason och Olav Haraldsson, sedermera hyllad som ”Sankt Olav”. Men hur gick det till? Och varför skedde det just då? I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om riksbildningen under vikingatiden, från begynnelsen i 960-talets Danmark till avslutningen i 1000-talets och 1100-talets Sverige.Bild: Olav Tryggvasson koras till norsk konung.

I november 1653 lägger sex engelska fartyg i Göteborgs hamn. Ombord finns ambassadör Bulstrode Whitelocke och ett rullande skådespel av vagnar, hästar, tjänare och ceremoniell prakt. Hans uppdrag var att få drottning Kristina att sluta avtal med en regim som just har avrättat sin egen kung och styrdes av Oliver Cromwell.Mötet med drottning Kristina blir en krock mellan två politiska världar. I Stockholm och Uppsala väntar en monark som både fascinerar och förbryllar sin samtid – lärd, teatralisk och redan på väg mot sin mest dramatiska handling: abdikationen 1654. Mitt i detta försöker Whitelocke säkra handel, sjöfart och vänskapspolitik i Östersjön, där Danmark och Nederländerna skuggar varje steg. Att han kunde dansa skulle visa sig avgörande.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu Premium samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Erik Petersson som bland annat skrivit Maktspelerskan: drottning Kristinas revolt. Detta är början på ett Historia Nu Premium-avsnitt. Vill du lyssna på hela avsnittet blir du medlem på www.historia.nu/premium. Det kostar 75 kr/mån och då får du två extra avsnitt samt alla vanliga avsnitt reklamfria.När Karl I halshöggs 1649 blev England ett diplomatiskt problem för Europas furstehus. Oliver Cromwells regim behövde visa att samväldet var en legitim stat, inte en tillfällig revolt. Historikern Edward Turnbull beskriver hur acceptans utomlands blev en del av överlevnadsprogrammet i London – och att Sverige, som protestantisk stormakt, framstod som en nyckelpartner.Samtidigt hade Sverige egna strategiska skäl att lyssna. Östersjön var 1600-talets ekonomiska pulsåder: där fanns hampa, tjära och timmer – material som Europas flottor bokstavligen byggdes av. Ett engelsk-svenskt närmande kunde också balansera rivaler i regionen. I efterhand brukar alliansens syfte sammanfattas som att väga upp Danmarks och Nederländernas ställning.Ambassadör Bulstrode Whitelocke (1605–1675) var ingen vanlig sändebudstyp. När England ville öppna en formell kanal till Sverige var han därför ett logiskt val. Han var jurist, politiker och van vid maktens innersta rum. I Turnbulls framställning framstår han dessutom som relativt motvillig: uppdraget var prestigefullt men också ett riskfyllt avståndstagande från Londons intriger under Protektoratets första år.Sverige var vid mitten av 1600-talet en stormakt i Östersjöområdet. För England handlade diplomatin inte bara om artighet, utan om strategi: sjöfart, tullar, tillgång till marina råvaror och ett maktbalansspel där allianser snabbt kunde skifta. Whitelockes mission siktade på ett avtal som knöt Sverige närmare England – och samtidigt visade att republiken i London var en aktör att räkna med även vid kungliga hov.Whitelockes dagbok – som publicerades i tryck långt senare – understryker hur själva resan och följet var en del av diplomatins språk. När han anländer till Göteborg i november 1653 har han ett stort sällskap med sig, “ståtliga vagnar och hästar”, och begär fler fordon för färden mot hovet. Det är inte bara bekvämlighet, utan ett sätt att signalera att England, trots sin republikanska form, fortfarande kan uppträda med statlig värdighet.Bild: Montage av drottning Kristina av Sverige (regerade 1632–1654), dotter till kung Gustav II Adolf.

Russell explains the lawful procedure of reclaiming your estate—the net worth of everything you own, earn, and owe—back from the control of the Crown Commonwealth. We explore the deception of property registration, the reality of the "public estate," and how the "citizen" functions as a legal franchise that keeps your assets in bondage.

Alla har hört talas om Oden, Tor, Loke, Freja, Balder, Njord och de andra gamla asagudarna. De flesta tror sig också känna till de lika ryktbara som beryktade offerhandlingarna – bloten – med vilka vikingarna firade dem och offrade till dem. Men vad vet vi egentligen om den fornnordiska religionen? Vilka gudar vördade man på riktigt, och hur gick offren till?Sanningen är att vikingatidens förkristna religion var mångfacetterad, med flera olika typer av kulter. Här fanns det småskaliga alvablotet, privata högtider på gårdarna, som främlingar inte fick ta del av, men också de stora riksbloten på platser som Lade, Lejre och Uppsala, där representanter från flera bygder förväntades delta. Här fanns också det kvinnliga sejdandet, då völvor försatte sig i trans och skådade in i framtiden. I de tidigmedeltida kristna redogörelserna för bloten dominerar kusliga exposéer av blodiga människooffer i heliga lundar och tempel, medan de norska kungasagorna snarare låter oss se festliga sammankomster med rituellt drickande och inmundigande av helgade köttgrytor. Vilken bild är mest korrekt? I takt med att arkeologerna hittar de gamla templen – ”kulthusen” – kan vi lägga ihop allt fler pusselbitar till bilden av de religioner som gick i graven när kristendomen segrade på 1000- och 1100-talen.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om vikingatidens asagudar och de kulter som tillägnades dem.Bild: 1800-talsskildring av ett forntida Disablot.

Det fransk-indianska kriget i Nordamerika (1754–1763), mellan de två kolonialmakterna Storbritannien och Frankrike, startade med en lokal gränskonflikt i Ohiodalen i Nordamerika och växte till ett imperiekrig som i praktiken raderade ut Nya Frankrike från kartan.Storbritanniens framgångar blev samtidigt fröet till koloniernas frigörelse från den brittiska kronan. Snart skulle kolonisterna vänd vapnen mot moderlandets trupper. Kriget hade svetsat samman de brittiska kolonierna och gav dem ett ökat självförtroende.Detta är det första av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu om det fransk-indianska kriget i Nordamerika – en konflikt som globalt blev känd som Sjuårskriget. Här samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist, professor i historia med särskild inriktning på historisk geografi vid Stockholms universitet.Sjuårskriget (1756–1763) var ett globalt krig som utkämpades i Europa, Indien, Amerika och till sjöss. I Nordamerika stred Storbritannien och Frankrike – tillsammans med olika urfolksnationer som allierade – om överhöghet i det som i efterhand ofta kallas det fransk-indianska kriget (1754–1763).Det brittiska Nordamerika bestod i mitten av 1700-talet av tretton kolonier med skilda ursprung, styrelseformer och ekonomiska profiler under den brittiska kronan. För de tretton kolonierna innebar konflikten en förskjutning: från ett djupt beroende av moderlandets militära beskydd till en växande insikt om den egna styrkan – och om gemensamma koloniala intressen. För fransmännen betydde krigets utgång slutet för Nya Frankrike, och för urfolken försvann i stor utsträckning möjligheten att spela ut kolonialmakterna mot varandra.I början av kriget besegrade fransmännen, med stöd av kanadensisk milis och urfolksallierade, flera brittiska attacker och erövrade ett antal brittiska fort. Urfolken var starka regionala maktaktörer – inte passiva offer eller enkla bundsförvanter. Samtidigt var de splittrade av egna konflikter och ställdes mot kolonialmakter vars befolkning, ekonomi och territoriella expansion till slut blev övermäktiga.Bild: Handkolorerat träsnitt som visar det franska lägret vid Great Meadows som anfölls av George Washingtons styrkor från Fort Necessity under inledningen av det fransk-indiska kriget 1754.

Vikingatiden brukar ofta förknippas med krig, sjöröveri och plundring, men det var också en av de största fredliga expansionstiderna i vår historia. Vanliga jordbrukare och boskapsskötare lämnade sina hem på jakt efter större marker, samtidigt som stormän och furstar som skrämdes av de nya kungamakterna satte segel mot väster för att finna nya länder att kolonisera, och därmed bevara sin frihet.Den vikingatida kolonisationen förändrade Nordeuropas historia för alltid. Shetlands- och Orkneyöarna, Färöarna, Island, Grönland och många andra områden fick en skandinavisk befolkning. Nordbor slog sig ned på Hebriderna och Isle of Man, i norra Skottland, södra Wales och vid flera nygrundade städer på Irland, medan andra bosatte sig i norra och östra England (”Danelagen”) och i Normandie. Majoriteten av kolonisterna var bönder och handelsmän som valde att lämna sina gamla bygder i förhoppning om att kunna bygga sig en ny och bättre framtid på andra sidan havet. De grundade städer – till exempel Dublin – och påverkade såväl konsthantverk som ortnamnsskick i alla bygder de rotade sig i. Än idag är arvet efter kolonisationen fullt synligt i många delar av Västeuropa. På andra håll, som på Grönland, är det endast synligt i form av ruiner, eftersom kolonisternas ättlingar till slut försvann från scenen på sätt som ännu inte har klarlagts.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om den vikingatida kolonisationen, framför allt i västerled.Bild: Sommar på Grönlandskusten ca. 1000 e.kr.

När Sveriges förste nazistledare Birger Furugård återvände till sin gamla studentstad Lund i februari 1931 fick han ett varmt mottagande och talade i en fullsatt AF-borg, prydd med stora hakkors.I Lund fanns två profilerade nazistiska studentorganisationer, flera ledande akademiker var nazister och när Lunds studentkår den 6 mars 1939 röstade om ett uttalande kring asyl till tio judiska specialistläkare ställde sig två tredjedelar av medlemmarna bakom ett skarpt uttalande mot asyl. Studentkårens rasbiologiskt motiverande uttalandet refererades i rikspress och väckte frågor om hur demokratisk den framtida svenska eliten var.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med journalisten och lundabon Eskil Fagerström, aktuell med boken Historien om Lund (Historiska Media).Medicinalstyrelsens förslag att låta tio judiska läkare fly till Sverige ledde ett skarpt uttalande från Lunds studentkår den 6 mars 1939 till efter en omröstning bland medlemmarna. Med en explicit rasbiologisk formulering hävdades att det var skadligt och oförsvarbart inför framtiden att ”främmande element upptagas i vårt folk”.Lund var en småstad där universitetet dominerade det sociala livet. År 1930 hade Lund cirka 24 520 invånare, och studenternas andel av stadsbilden växte snabbt under decenniet; vårterminen 1939 fanns omkring 2 200 inskrivna studenter. Studentkåren var i praktiken en elitmiljö, rekryterad från välbärgade hem, med traditioner som stärkte sammanhållningen – och en känsla av att vara samhällets blivande ledarskikt.Den kombinationen – liten stad, stor social prestige och starka traditioner – gjorde politiken till mer än debatt. Den blev identitet. När Europas kriser fördjupades och nazismens propaganda presenterade sig som ett ”modernt” svar på arbetslöshet, kommunistskräck och ”nationell förnedring” fanns det redan en publik som var mottaglig.Redan 1930 bildades en nationalsocialistisk studentklubb i Lund. Efter krigsutbrottet bytte den namn till Lunds svensk-socialistiska studentförening (LSSS). Den tidiga etableringen fick draghjälp av kopplingar mellan svensk nazism och Lund: när nazistledaren Birger Furugård kom till staden i februari 1931 talade han i en fullsatt AF-borgen som prytts med stora hakkors.Under mitten av 1930-talet kunde två konkurrerande nazistiska studentorganisationer verka parallellt vid universitetet. Samtidigt odlade man en aktivistkultur: läger med ”kamratskap”, militär drill och nattmarscher – samt regelbundna samlingar i partilokaler. Det här var inte enbart skrivbordsradikalism. De lundensiska nazisterna sökte offentligheten: möten på Mårtenstorget, propaganda, uppvisningar och försök att vinna tolkningsföreträde över det ”nationella” studentlivet.I samtiden noterades också hur sympatier kunde sträcka sig in i etablerade kretsar av lärare och intellektuella, vilket gav rörelsen status och nätverk. I en miljö där studenterna såg sig som framtidens domare, ämbetsmän och opinionsbildare blev frågan brännande: Om eliten vacklar – vad händer då med demokratin?Om du vill lyssna reklamfritt och dessutom få två extra avsnitt i månaden ska du bli medlem i Historia Nu Premium för 75 kr/mån – du kan testa gratis i sju dagar.Lyssna också på Fascismens födelse.Bildtext: Nazistledaren Birger Furugård talar i Akademiska Föreningens stora sal vid Lunds studentkår 1931.

Modern UFO reports are often associated with the 20th century, but strange objects in the sky have been recorded for hundreds of years. Medieval chronicles describe unusual celestial events, mysterious lights, and unexplained phenomena that left witnesses searching for answers. Centuries later, some researchers and UFO enthusiasts have pointed to curious details in medieval and Renaissance artwork, arguing that certain paintings appear to depict objects that resemble modern ideas of UFOs.In this episode, we explore reports of strange sightings from the Middle Ages and examine some of the most famous examples of alleged UFOs in historical art. We'll look at the historical context behind these accounts, the explanations offered by historians and art experts, and why these images continue to fuel debate today.Are these records evidence of something extraordinary, misunderstood natural phenomena, religious symbolism, or examples of modern interpretations being applied to ancient works?

The rules of ownership may be changing faster than technology itself. In this episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo examines a growing judicial shift that is quietly expanding the public domain across copyright, patent, trademark, and trade-secret law. As AI systems, software platforms, and humanoid robots become increasingly functional, courts are treating more of their core methods and designs as shared building blocks rather than exclusive property. For founders, investors, and creators, the stakes are enormous. If software, AI models, and robotic forms are becoming harder to own, how do companies build defensible moats? From AI training disputes and collapsing software patents to the rise of contracts as the new legal shield, this episode explores a provocative question: as billion-dollar technologies collide with centuries-old legal doctrines, are the courts redrawing the boundaries of ownership itself?

In this episode Dave Homewood, Don Simms and Chris Newey discuss the making of this film, the real life characters who appear as themselves, and the Lancaster that is featured, ND752. Portions of the original film footage, along with original black and white and recently colourised photographs are used to illustrate the discussion. This all-but-forgotten film is an amazing time capsule showing life at RAF Mepal, near Ely, Cambridgeshire, which became a little bit of New Zealand back in 1944-45. NOTE: It is recommended that you watch the original 18 minute “Maximum Effort” first, and the watch the WONZ 354 Maximum Effort video. There is an audio podcast version of the latter but the video is much more satisfying.

Stormaktskungen Karl X Gustavs (1622-60) militära framgångar formade mycket av dagens svenska gränser i kamp mot arvfienden Danmark. Han tog risker som gav utdelning i form av den mest fördelaktiga freden i Sveriges historia freden i Roskilde 1658. Trots detta har han en undanskymd plats i historieskrivning.Redan som ung visade Karl Gustav prov på en administrativ och militär kapacitet, vilket skulle komma att bli avgörande för hans framtida styre. Överviktig och slutkörd dog han i lunginflammation bara 37 år gammal.I denna repris av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Björn Asker är docent i historia och före detta arkivråd vid Riksarkivet. Han har bland annat skrivit boken Karl X Gustav - En biografi.Karl X Gustav föddes den 8:e november 1622 på Nyköpingshus som son till pfalzgreven Johan Kasimir och prinsessan Katarina av Sverige. Han växte upp i Sverige, och hans uppfostran präglades av en gedigen utbildning där språk, historia, politik och krigiska färdigheter var centrala inslag. Han studerade en kort tid vid universitetet i Uppsala och företog en studieresa i Europa mellan 1638 och 1640. Under sin tid i Paris fick han utbildning vid den ledande riddarakademin.Vid tjugo års ålder reste han till den svenska armén i Tyskland, tjänstgjorde under Lennart Torstensson, befordrades till överste och deltog i flera sammandrabbningar, samt i krigståget mot Danmark 1643–1644. Karl X Gustav blev utnämnd till generalissimus för den svenska armén i Tyskland 1648–1650.Karl Gustav stod nära den svenska tronen som kusin till drottning Kristina, men som son till en tysk greve betraktades han i vissa kretsar som en utländsk inkräktare. Karl Gustavs föräldrar kämpade dock hårt för att ge honom en plats i tronföljden, helst genom äktenskap med drottning Kristina. Karl Gustav hoppades länge på detta giftermål, men till sist avvisade Kristina hans frieri. Trots detta utnämnde hon honom till sin efterträdare, och när hon abdikerade 1654 hyllades och kröntes Karl Gustav till kung samma dag.Karl X Gustavs regeringstid präglades av krig. Ett år efter tronbestigningen, sommaren 1655, ledde han Sverige i krig mot Polen. Karl Gustavs huvudmål med detta krig var att förvärva tullintäkter från Polens hamnar och förhindra Ryssland från att få tillgång till Östersjön. Men kriget gick inte som planerat, och när Sverige attackerades av Danmark vände han sina vapen mot det landet istället.Efter attacken mot Danmark 1657 ledde Karl X Gustav den svenska armén i ett av de mest framgångsrika fälttågen i Sveriges historia. Han tågade över Stora Bält på isen och besegrade den danska armén. Resultatet var Roskildefreden 1658, där Danmark tvingades avträda Skåne, Halland, Blekinge, Bornholm, Bohuslän och Trondheims län. Därmed regerade Karl X Gustav över ett större rike än någon annan svensk kung, före eller efter honom.Efter Roskildefreden gick Karl X Gustav åter i krig, denna gång med målet att fullständigt eliminera det danska hotet. Om han hade lyckats, skulle Norden ha varit förenat under en enda krona, som under medeltiden. Men Karl X Gustav dog plötsligt 1660, bara 37 år gammal. Hans död kan delvis tillskrivas hans ohälsosamma livsstil, men också den enorma arbetsbörda som hans ambitioner medfört.Bild: Porträtt från 1600-talet på Karl X Gustav i hjälmkrona med plym, blå mantel och kommandostav målad av David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl, Skoklosters slott, Wikipedia, Public Domain.Musik: Claudio Monteverdi-Quel Augelin Che Cantaav, The Tudor Consort, CC BY 3.0, via Wikimedia CommonsLyssna också på Hedvig Eleonora blev rikets första dam under 55 år.

Under decennierna omkring år 1000 genomfördes ett antal lika djärva som seriösa nordiska försök att anlägga permanenta kolonier i Nordamerika. Med utgångspunkt i nordligaste Newfoundland utforskade nordborna nuvarande Kanadas östkust, byggde långhus och trädde i kontakt med urbefolkningen i det land som de döpte till Vinland.Upptäckten av Amerika framstår i efterhand som vikingarnas mest imponerande bragd, men vad var det egentligen som hände? Vem eller vilka tog initiativ till upptäcktsresorna och bosättningarna? Vad ville de åstadkomma – grunda utposter för handel eller ta över landet? Och varför slutade det som det gjorde, med att nordborna drog sig tillbaka till Grönland och Island?Frågorna blir inte mindre spännande när vi finner att de verkliga pionjärerna var kvinnor, först Gudrid Torbjörnsdotter och sedan Frejdis Eriksdotter. Till skillnad från i alla andra kända vikingatida kolonisationsprojekt gick kvinnorna i spetsen, något som medeltidens islänningar var väl medvetna om – så till den milda grad att de skrev långa historiska skildringar av kvinnornas liv, i vilka de dominerar över männen, både som hjältar och som skurkar. I ett senare skede av historien glömdes dock kvinnorna bort till förmån för sagornas manliga bipersoner. Varför?I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om Vinland och de vikingatida försöken att utforska och kolonisera nordöstra Nordamerika.Bild: Leif Eriksson upptäcker Amerika.

I augusti 1920 utkämpades slaget om Warszawa mellan en sovjetisk invasionsarmé och den polska armén under generalen Pilsudski. Utgångsläget för polackerna var inte bra. Försvaret runt den polska huvudstaden sviktade.I detta läge genomförde den polska armén en omfattade omgruppering och därefter en snabb motoffensiv. De sovjetiska arméerna krossades och ringades in 16-25 augusti 1920 i ett slag som har kallats ”undret vid Visla”. Den polska segern räddade den unga polska republiken och stoppade en eventuell sovjetiska fortsatt frammarsch mot Tyskland.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden berättar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved om ett måhända lite mindre känt krig. Som en direkt följd av första världskriget inleddes i Östeuropa ett antal militära konflikter frammanade av olika nationella strävanden. Polacker, balter, ukrainare, rumäner och så vidare försökte skapa egna nationer och vinna så stort territorium som möjligt. Samtidigt rasade inne i Ryssland ett inbördeskrig 1918-22.Polens ledare Pilsudski hade en vision om att skapa en federation av stater under polsk ledning som motsvarade det gamla Pols-Litauiska samväldet som slutade att existera 1795. Polska trupper kom under 1919 att ockupera stora områden i både dagens östra Ukraina – provinsen Galicien – och flytta gränsen mot Sovjet österut mot Minsk. Den sovjetiska motoffensiven i augusti 1920 tillintetgjorde dessa erövringar och det var först efter segern i slaget om Warszawa som den polsk-sovjetiska gränsen kunde stabiliseras i och med freden i Riga i mars 1921. Polen hade vi det laget även lagt sig till med de östra delarna av dagens Litauen i vilket Pilsudskis hemstad Vilnius ingick.För Lenin och bosjevikerna var nederlaget framför Warszawa en stor katastrof. Drömmarna om att tränga längre västerut och understödja en tysk kommunistisk revolution grusades. Vision om en världsrevolution fick ett abrupt slut i augusti 1920.Bild: Polska soldater bemannar en kulspruteställning vid försvarslinjerna nära Miłosna i byn Janki utanför Warszawa, augusti 1920, under polsk-sovjetiska kriget och striderna om Polens självständighet.

Goebbels totala kontroll över kulturen i Tredje riket

Joseph Goebbels stack ut bland de ledande nazisterna genom att vara disputerad och framstå som intellektuell. Han var en övertygad antisemit som avhumaniserade judar och initierade den första stora pogromen i Tredje riket 1938.Som propagandaminister tog Goebbels ett hårt grepp om kulturen i Tredje riket. Samtidigt var majoriteten av de filmer som producerades under hans ledning breda underhållningsfilmer – ett medvetet sätt att normalisera regimen och styra publikens uppmärksamhet. Han var också tidigt skicklig på att utnyttja ett nytt massmedium: radion.I detta andra av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Ulf Zander, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, om Tredje rikets propagandaminister Joseph Goebbels.I oktober 1926 utnämnde Hitler Goebbels till partichef i Berlin. Som gauleiter fick han ett uppdrag som passade hans temperament: storstadens politiska gatukamp. Här finslipade han en metod som känns igen i modern demagogi:Provokation som strategi: skapa konflikter som genererar rubriker.Personfixerad agitation: peka ut syndabockar och “förrädare”.Möten som teater: ljus, symboler, marscher – en känsla av att historien rör sig nu. Nazismens budskap blev inte bara något man hörde; det blev något man upplevde.En central del i Goebbels framgång i Berlin var hans förmåga att förvandla nederlag till heroiska berättelser. När nazisten Horst Wessel, en ung SA-ledare, sköts i januari 1930 och senare avled i februari, insåg Goebbels omedelbart propagandavärdet och gjorde Wessel till martyr. Texten som Wessel skrivit till en äldre melodi blev “Horst-Wessel-Lied”, som därefter blev NSDAP:s partihymn och – efter 1933 – en av Tysklands nationalsånger i praktiken, sida vid sida med “Deutschlandlied”.Genom massmöten i Sportpalast och andra stora arenor utvecklade Goebbels en ny politisk estetik. Han använde dramatiska ljuseffekter, uniformerade vakter, standar och en noggrant planerad koreografi för att skapa en känsla av oövervinnerlig kraft. Under presidentvalskampanjen 1932 organiserade han kampanjen “Hitler över Tyskland”, där Hitler flögs mellan städer för att tala inför enorma publiker på kort tid. Vid maktövertagandet 1933 hade Goebbels gjort Berlin till en scen för nazistiska triumfer.Efter maktövertagandet inrättades 1933 Rikets ministerium för folkupplysning och propaganda, lett av Goebbels. Ministeriet fick ett ovanligt brett grepp om press, radio, film, teater, litteratur, musik och bildkonst – och blev centralt i regimens kulturella likriktning. Goebbels verkliga makt låg inte i att övertyga varje individ, utan i att göra avvikelse dyr och samstämmighet lätt. När alla kanaler låter likadant blir tystnaden det enda motståndet.Goebbels förstod radion som en politisk genväg in i hemmen. Satsningen på billiga massproducerade mottagare – Volksempfänger – gjorde det enklare att samla nationen kring ledarens röst och regimens nyheter. Här finns en mediehistorisk lärdom som återkommer: teknikens räckvidd är politiskt neutral – men användningen är det inte.När diplomaten Ernst vom Rath sköts i Paris den 7 november 1938 och avled den 9 november utnyttjade regimen händelsen propagandistiskt; den upphetsade rapporteringen bidrog till att bana väg för pogromen Kristallnatten (9–10 november).Under kriget fortsatte Goebbels att driva en retorik som band samman “folkets överlevnad” med fiendens eliminering. Propagandan bidrog därmed till den mentala terräng där massmord kunde framstå som “nödvändigt”.Bild: Propagandaminister Joseph Goebbels talar vid ett offentligt framträdande i Nazityskland, Foto: Georg Pahl, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons (Bundesarchiv, Bild 102-17049).Musik:‘Horst-Wessel-Lied' (‘Die Fahne hoch'), en nazistisk kampsång använd i NSDAP:s propaganda under 1930–40-talen. dirigenten Carl Woitschach.

Den tidiga medeltiden ligger mer än ett millennium bakom oss, och för många nutidsmänniskor är det en svårgripbar era, men än idag finns det gott om museer och platser där vi kan komma epoken nära. Oavsett om vi håller oss till Sverige eller om vi söker oss mot kontinenten eller brittiska öarna är det lättare än vi tror att komma perioden mellan romarrikets fall och vikingatiden in på livet. I detta highlights-avsnitt rör vi oss från Hagia Sofia och Yerebatan Saray i Istanbul över de mosaikklädda kyrkorna i italienska Ravenna och de visigotiska votivkronorna i Spanien till fascinerande platser i Nordeuropa, som irländska Skellig Michael, Björketorpsmonumentet i Blekinge och bildstenshallen i Gotlands museum. Vi bekantar oss med intakta verktygslådor från södra Norrland, en Buddhaskulptur från Helgö i Mälardalen, den karolingiska klosterporten i tyska Lorsch, Sutton Hoo-fynden från England och de undersköna bokilluminationer som kan beskådas i montrar i Dublin och London.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om lämningar efter tidig medeltid och järnålder i dagens Europa, med djupdykningar om många föremål och platser.Bild: Yerebatan saray, eller Basilikacisternen, efter restaurering.

  From a 10-bed lying-in hospital to Handel's Messiah, the Rotunda Maternity Hospital has operated continuously for 281 years. A Nurses' Week story. Summary Across the street from Danny’s Dublin hotel stood a large white institutional building with no signage. It turned out to be the Rotunda Hospital — the oldest continuously operating maternity hospital in the world, delivering babies in the same building since December 8th, 1757. Surgeon Bartholomew Mosse founded it after losing his wife and child in childbirth, trained as a midwife in Paris at a time when physicians were penalized for practicing midwifery, and returned to Dublin determined to build something that didn’t yet exist. The first version had 10 beds and delivered 190 babies in its first year, with one maternal death. Unable to raise money for a larger hospital — no one wanted to fund poor women’s care — Mosse attended the world premiere of Handel’s Messiah in Dublin in 1742 and was inspired. He turned the future hospital site into a pleasure garden with orchestras, dances, and theater to attract wealthy donors. He was later imprisoned for debt, escaped through a castle window in Wales, hid in the mountains for three weeks, and died exhausted and broke in 1759, less than two years after the new hospital opened. Sara E. Hampson, one of Florence Nightingale’s original nurses, became the hospital’s first female superintendent in 1891 — a thread that ties Nurses Week directly to this building, Danny almost walked past. Click here to view the printable newsletter. More readable than a transcript. Contents Podcast episode on YouTube Episode Proem: No Signage, No Appointment, No Problem Hello. Welcome to 2026 Nurses Week, May 6th through 12th. I’m very proud to be a nurse. I’ve been a nurse for 50 years. And my grandson’s going to nursing school next year. He’s graduating as a senior and will attend Loyola University in Chicago for its nursing program. I’m very proud. I want to tell you a story about one of the most significant things that happened during our trip to Ireland a couple of weeks ago. We were staying in the north-central city of Dublin, Ireland. Across the street, I saw a big white institutional facade with no signage. It looked like the side of the building. Next to it, on its right, was a dome with a more modern sign that read “Ambassador”. So, I went into the hotel and asked, “So what’s this building?” And they didn’t know. I looked it up, and it turned out to be the Rotunda Hospital. The Rotunda Hospital is the oldest freestanding maternity hospital in the world. Midwifery Was Scandalous. He Did It Anyway. Now let me see. I’ve got some notes here. The hospital was founded in 1745 by a man named Bartholomew Mosse, M-O-S-S-E. He was a certified surgeon. His wife and child died in childbirth. After this tragedy, he left Ireland to serve as a doctor with the British Army. While he was away, he received midwifery training at a hospital in Paris and obtained his midwifery license, which was unusual. In fact, fellows of the Royal College of Physicians were even penalized if they practiced midwifery. But Mosse wanted to change that. So, he built this small place, 10 beds, that… Let’s see, when did it open? I guess it opened in 1745. Mosse’s ambition was to build a dedicated maternity hospital in Dublin to provide medical care and shelter to the city's penniless mothers. This came after he encountered unspeakable conditions during his practice, particularly in the aftermath of the 1739 famine. So he established this 10-bed hospital. It was in a small theater called the New Booth Theatre. It says here that it was the first lying-in hospital of its kind in the world. It had only 10 beds, but in its first year, 190 babies were born, and just one mother died. But obviously, they couldn’t meet demand with 10 beds. When No One Funds Poor Mothers, Try Dancing Mosse tried to raise money to build a larger hospital, but nobody really wanted to give money to poor women. So he happened to attend the world premiere of Handel’s Messiah on April 13, 1742. While he was there, he was inspired to raise money by entertaining the wealthy. Somebody sent me a picture of the Handel statue that’s in front of the theater where the premiere was, which I thought would be interesting. According to my research, on the evening of April 13th, 1742, Handel conducted the world premiere of his Messiah on Dublin’s Fishamble Street, and Mosse was present. Historians suggest that this moment crystallized Mosse’s idea of using high-society entertainment to fund a hospital for the poor. So Mosse turned the proposed hospital site into a pleasure garden with a live orchestra, theatrical performances, and dances in a coffee house, marrying philanthropy with frivolity to reach the wealthy. Debt, Daring Escape, Death Here’s a little interesting tidbit. Lotteries nearly destroyed Dr. Mosse. Before he was able to return to Ireland, he was arrested and charged with being 200 pounds in debt, and he’s thought to have been imprisoned in Beaumaris Castle in Anglesey, Wales. The story was that he managed to escape through a window and hid in the Welsh mountains for three weeks before reaching Ireland. He then vindicated himself by publishing his receipts and lottery accounts, whatever. But less than a year after the hospital opened, he was taken seriously ill, exhausted, heavily in debt, and petrified about the prospect of arrest and imprisonment. He died on February 16th, 1759. Fix the Air, Save the Babies. Then and Now. Around 1781, when the hospital was poorly ventilated and every sixth child died within nine days of birth, they realized the problem was poor ventilation. Ventilation was improved, and mortality dropped to 1 in 20 over the following five years. They’re also planning to celebrate their millionth birth in 2026. It’s just amazing. I met a saleswoman in a sweater store who asked where we went in Dublin. When I told her about the Rotunda Hospital, she said she had a difficult pregnancy and birth without insurance. She received care at the Rotunda Hospital, with her baby in neonatal intensive care for three weeks and herself as an inpatient for two weeks. Awesome care! So, when we were there, I, an old white guy in a wheelchair, motored into the Rotunda Hospital and stopped at the registration desk to ask if I could speak with someone. I had not made an appointment. I was leaving the next day. Very nice people. I tried to get hold of people in their library, research, and marketing, but they were busy, of course. Oldest? It's Relative. I’m really impressed by the idea of being the world's longest-operating specialist hospital. I was trying to get some perspective on that, so I looked up the oldest continuously operating hospitals, and here’s what I learned. I learned that in the United States, the oldest continuously operating hospital is Bellevue Hospital in New York City, which opened in 1736 as a six-bed infirmary.[1] So, it began as a haven for the indigent and is still a major public hospital on the East Side of Manhattan. It opened nine years before Mosse opened his first lying-in hospital. The other long-running hospital is the Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia[2], established in 1751 by Benjamin Franklin and Dr. Thomas Bond. It’s still operational as part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System. The oldest hospital is the Hôtel-Dieu in Paris[3], which officially opened in 650 AD, and that’s the hospital where Mosse became a midwife. There’s St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, founded in 1123[4]. And there’s the Hospital de Jesús Nazareno in Mexico City, opened in 1524. But really, the Rotunda is the oldest maternity-only specialist hospital, continuously operating in the world, which is a more specific and arguably more impressive claim than the general acute care hospitals Bellevue and Hôtel-Dieu, which have both moved buildings, changed missions, and been rebuilt. The Rotunda has been delivering babies in the same building since December 8th, 1757. That’s really something. Reflection: Nightingale Was Here Too So, let’s bring this back to Nurses Day and to Florence Nightingale. Interestingly, Sara E. Hampson was one of the original Nightingale nurses and the first lady superintendent of the Rotunda Hospital in 1891. So yay, nursing. Yay, history. I’m really looking forward to exploring more of this amazing hospital in Dublin. I wonder who was in charge all these years, and how it survived past Mosse and through those first decade or first few years? And then, how did the Rotunda Hospital survive war, famine, pandemics, and technological change? What research occurred there? Is there a diaspora of Rotunda alumni? Anyway, more to come. Thanks.

How much does the average documentary filmmaker's biggest licensing mistake cost?A 30-second Jackson 5 clip can run a documentary $50,000 to $70,000 in licensing fees. Veteran ARC Producer Teddy Cannon has spent a decade in the messy middle between production and legal, and he is here to walk Christian through how to keep your film from becoming the next case study.In Episode 277, host Christian Taylor sits down with Teddy to break down the role most documentary filmmakers overlook until it costs them tens of thousands of dollars: the ARC Producer, the modern hybrid of the Archival Producer and the Clearance Producer.The conversation centers on three frameworks that every documentary filmmaker needs before rolling camera. First, the $70,000 Jackson 5 case study, a real licensing scenario Teddy is working on right now. Second, the Public Location is not Public Domain rule, which catches filmmakers who assume that filming a statue, mural, or artwork in a public space makes it free to use. Third, the Berry Picking method for finding rare archival footage in places the standard stock libraries do not reach. Teddy also gives a first look at ArcWorks, the digital management system he is building to replace the spreadsheet workflows the industry has been stuck with for decades.In this episode, you'll learn:Why a 30-second clip of a famous artist can cost $50,000 to $70,000 to licenseThe difference between an Archival Producer and a Clearance Producer (and why you need both)Why filming a statue in a public park can still require legal clearanceHow the Fair Use doctrine actually works for documentary filmmakersThe Duck Rule for understanding fair use in 7 secondsWhen fair use protects you and when an attorney is required for E&O insuranceThe Berry Picking method for finding rare footage in small, non-digital museumsHow a senior ARC Producer can save thousands through industry relationshipsWhat it costs to hire an ARC Producer ($2,500 to $3,500 per week)A first look at ArcWorks, Teddy's new digital management systemChapters:0:00 The $70,000 Mistake: Why Licensing Matters1:03 What is ARC Producing?

In today's production pipeline, the two roles have melded into one. A senior ARC Producer is hired in pre-production, not at the end, and saves filmmakers thousands of dollars by spotting licensing problems before footage gets locked in the edit.How much does it cost to license music from a famous artist for a documentary?Licensing music from a major artist like the Jackson 5 can cost $50,000 to $70,000 for a single 30-second clip. That figure includes both the synchronization license, which is the right to use the song with picture, and the master use license, which is the right to use the specific recording. Music is among the most expensive third-party assets because it requires clearance from both the publisher and the record label, and major artists' estates are often hyper-protective of their brands.Can you film a statue or work of art in a public place and use it in your documentary?No, not without clearance. Even when a statue, mural, or painting is displayed in a public location, the work itself is owned by the artist or estate and is protected by copyright. Documentary filmmakers who include works of art in their footage, whether intentionally framed or accidentally captured behind an interview subject, must clear those works before delivery. Bringing a clearance professional into the pre-production meeting can prevent the costly post-production scramble of identifying artwork after the fact.What is the Fair Use doctrine for documentary filmmakers?Fair Use is a legal doctrine that allows documentary filmmakers to use copyrighted material without licensing it, provided the use serves a clear documentary purpose. The general rule is that the visual on screen must directly relate to what the talking head or voiceover is discussing. If you are talking about a duck and there is a duck on screen, that use typically falls under fair use. Documentary filmmakers should work with both an ARC Producer who understands fair use boundaries and a fair use attorney whose written letter is required for Errors and Omissions insurance.How much does it cost to hire an ARC Producer for a documentary?An ARC Producer's weekly rate ranges from approximately $2,500 to $3,500. Senior, veteran ARC Producers typically command $3,500 per week, while junior producers are available at lower rates. Veteran ARC Producers are often worth the higher rate because their long-standing relationships with stock houses, archives, and rights holders can save the production thousands of dollars through negotiated rates. Most documentary productions hire ARC Producers in pre-production rather than at the end of post-production to maximize cost savings.DocuView DEJA VU PICKSTeddy Cannon recommends two films:Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary (HBO, 2024).

Air Date: 4–29-2026 Today we explore the extraordinary clash between Pope Leo XIV and the Trump White House — a feud involving military threats, medieval papal history, and an American-born pope who refuses to back down. We'll hear why analysts say MAGA's religiosity is pure aesthetic, and what that hollowness means for the millions of Americans still taking their faith seriously.

The Brown Tree Snake (Boiga irregularis) has wreaked ecological havoc on Guam since its accidental release in the years following WWII, playing a major role in the extinction of endemic bird species and causing trophic cascades that have rewired how the island's forests function. But how did a population of millions come from just a handful of snakes? And how does this species continue to thrive after eliminating so much of its prey base? A soon-to-be-released study looked into the genome of this invasive species and uncovered some intriguing possibilities. In this episode, the guys welcome their special guest, Dr. Christopher Osborne, to discuss his study and its implications for species management.This episode was recorded on March 15, 2026 at Rollin T. Grant Gulf Wilderness Park in Lockport, NY, a place Bill has (jokingly) called “the armpit of WNY” despite its deep history and the fact that he'll absolutely encourage you to check it out.Episode Notes and LinksIn the beginning of the episode, Steve said we would definitely, 100%, without doubt, cover something called Lewontin's paradox. Well, we skipped it! The main idea behind the paradox is that genetic variation varies little among species, but population size varies massively. We would expect large populations to have a lot of genetic diversity, but we often find that they don't. Population size doesn't always scale with genetic diversity.
