Podcasts about queen the life

Queen Elizabeth II was the most recent monarch of the United Kingdom before the current Charles III. She was also the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Born to the second son of King George V, she was not originally in line to the throne. How she came to it is just as interesting as the story of her illustrious reign. This is Elizabeth II's story.

Like nearly everyone else in the world, I am watching the funeral preparations for Queen Elizabeth II, and the transition to the new King, with great interest. I thought you might like a compilation of my favorite books about the royals, and royally-adjacent fiction that I return to again and again. In addition to what I have already read, I am also very fascinated by all of the work that writers and activists from colonized countries are providing, and I look forward to broadening my understanding of the points of view of People of the Global Majority. I would love to hear any book recommendations you have, fiction or nonfiction.   Follow the Best Book Ever Podcast on Instagram or on the Best Book Ever Website   Host: Julie Strauss Website/Instagram   Want to be a guest on the Best Book Ever Podcast?

Sometimes the modern world looks like a crazy race to success, where we all looking to the side, comparing and measuring our results with each other. Everything happens so fast we barely have time to think or even enjoy what we've accomplished so far. Many of us fail to see that we insist on pushing against noes instead of going after the yesses. A no will keep us stuck, while a yes will move us forward, will put us in contact with a whole set of opportunities. A shortcut to the success line might be taking a pause, looking around, focusing on our strengths, and saying no to what doesn't serve us. Joining me today is Karen Mangia, Vice President, Customer and Market Insights at Salesforce, 3x Best Selling Author, and TEDx Speaker. She works with customers worldwide to solve complex, strategic business difficulties and get a better future growth perspective. Karen is passionate about customer success, and she has over 20 years of experience guiding people from multiple industries and segments to success. In this episode, we had an inspiring conversation about success, how we measure it, and how we can put ourselves in extreme situations when we can't achieve what we thought we would. Karen kindly shared how her life changed when she decided to pause and redefine what success was and we also talked about how long and challenging the path is towards a balanced existence.

Suzanne’s daughter, Katy, returns to the podcast today to join her mom and Michelle in their passionate discussion about Harry and Meghan’s recent interview with Oprah. Armed with a history of interest in all things regarding the Royal Family, our three hosts have a lot to say about this explosive media event, and they are definitely not shy about offering their varied opinions here today.   They begin by sharing their own individual histories with Royal Family interest, their thoughts on Meghan, and their first impressions as the interview started. In attempting to determine the intention behind the interview, they cover such topics as Meghan’s expectations of life as a Royal, the Queen’s response to the interview, the fact that no questions were off limits, and precisely where their empathy lies in the aftermath. They also delve into the way Harry and Meghan chose to respond to questions, the potential impact of the interview, and how Meghan will be perceived throughout history. As you will hear, this is a conversation that easily could have lasted many hours given the extensive knowledge our hosts have about the Royal Family and their strongly held opinions on this momentous interview. Episode Highlights:   ·   Suzanne, Michelle and Katy’s history of interest in the Royal Family ·   Their thoughts on Meghan ·   Their first impressions as the interview started ·   The purpose of the interview ·   Meghan’s expectations regarding joining the Royal Family ·   The Queen’s response ·   Opening themselves up to ‘no questions off limits’ ·   Where our hosts’ empathy lies ·   The way they chose to answer Oprah’s questions ·   The potential impact of the interview ·   How Meghan will be perceived years from now Quotes:   “I felt like my jaw was on the floor the entire time.”   “Things just kept falling.”   “It was one of those worldwide scandalous photos that was plastered all over magazines and newspapers.”   “I’m a little bit obsessed, too.”   “I actually like her more now than I did before the interview.”   “When I listen to her in an interview, I see an actress.”   “She puts on that exterior protection.”   “It was jarring.”   “Why are they doing this interview to begin with?”   “She was defending her name.”   “To bash the Royal Family…I think is a little over the top.”   “It’s not the Hallmark version of life.”   “You’re so full of it!”   “These are private family issues.”   “This interview is so polarizing…there’s so much that we don’t know.”   “We’re living in a time of reckoning for so many people.”   “I don’t think they called people out like you feel like they did.”   “I think they’re going to get a lot more attention instead of a lot less attention, at least in the short term.”   “You’ve just drawn the rest of the world into it.” Links:   Homepage:  Orange Juice Optional   Goodnight Sweet Bear:  Goodnight Sweet Bear   Why Hello!

The second-longest reigning British Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II has always remained an elusive figure, a monumental accomplishment given the media attention focused upon her family. In her new book, Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch (Random House, 2012), Sally Bedell Smith peels back the layers of mystique to reveal the very shy woman who is the current Queen. It isn't so much a dismantling as a reevaluation, an effort to appreciate a figure who– though part of an institution that is seen by some as vestigial– is nonetheless deeply impressive and truly beloved. Smith interviewed over 200 people, 160 of whom are on the record as the queen's relatives and friends–a fact that suggests that the 40 individuals who opted for anonymity are even grander higher ups. Though the book is not “authorized,” it carries significant clout. Buckingham Palace also offered Smith limited access to the Queen, so the author could see her subject in action and play witness to her quiet charm. That's the biggest stamp of approval for which a royal writer can hope. Like many royal biographies, Elizabeth the Queen is filled with small, gossipy tidbits. We learn what the Queen eats for breakfast and what she carries in her ubiquitous handbag. But Smith also offers substantive insight into the less examined areas of the queen's life, in particular her religious faith, her life pre-ascension and her relationship with the Queen Mother. The end result is a lively portrait of a hard-working woman who, in her own way, has represented “a new Elizabethan age.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tapping into newly unearthed material—including stories of family and career—Nadine Cohodas gives us a luminous portrait of the singer who was born Eunice Waymon in Tryon, North Carolina, in 1933, one of eight children in a proud black family. We see her as a prodigiously talented child who is trained in classical piano through the charitable auspices of a local white woman. We witness her devastating disappointment when she is rejected by the Curtis Institute of Music—a dream deferred that would forever shape her self-image as well as her music. Yet by 1959—now calling herself Nina Simone—she had sung New York City's venerable Town Hall and was on her way. Princess Noire is a fascinating story, well told and thoroughly documented with intimate photos—a treatment that captures the passions of Nina's life. Special Guest: Nadine Cohodas is the author of several books, most recently Queen: The Life and Music of Dinah Washington, which received an award for Excellence in Research in Recorded Jazz Music from the Association for Recorded Sound Collections.
