Thanks to today's sponsor Osprey Publishing. They have tonnes of relevant books include a number of brilliant new releases. Please follow this link to check out their catalogue and also support my show https://bit.ly/Ospreypublishing    In this episode, we walk the battlefields of Barba del Puerco and the Combat on the Coa, two early engagements in the Peninsular War where the Rifles and the Light Division cemented their reputation as elite troops. Using first-hand accounts, military analysis, and on-location footage, we explore: How the Rifles came to be What made the Baker Rifle so revolutionary Why their training under men like Sir John Moore changed the game And how they stood firm in the face of overwhelming French assaults This is the real story behind Richard Sharpe's old regiment — not fiction, but fact. These were the battles where the myth began.  

In this episode, we are joined by Dr Chantal Kobel (Department of Early Irish, Maynooth University) to chat all about medieval Irish manuscripts (literally documents written by hand) and the various specialists skills and tools needed to read these precious historical sources. From palaeography (the study of old handwriting and writing systems) to codicology (study of the actual books) we learn about how manuscripts were physically made (trigger warning, it gets a little gruesome!), what they feel like, why so few survive, where you can see them for yourselves (online or Royal Irish Academy!), whether some more could be discovered, and whether any were written by women. Some notable mentions: Faddan More Psalter, Rawlinson B502 (Book of Glendalough?), Book of Armagh, Aided Chonchobair ‘The violent death of Conchobar.

It's mini-series time! Come with us on a journey as we dive into the series that was designed in a lab deep under London to appeal directly to one Matthew J. Conrad: "Sharpe". "Sharpe" was a TV show that ran from 1993 until 2008 for a grand total of 16 episodes. The hitch is that each episode is 2 hours long! So this is a 16 movie long series that the Brits called a "TV Show". TV makes no sense over there. ANYWAY, we follow our hero Richard Sharpe (played by Sean Bean at his absolute swarthiest) as he makes his way through the ranks of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars (like we said, designed in a lab for Matt Conrad). The first up in our adventure is "Sharpe's Rifles", adapted from the novel of the same name. We meet Richard and the rest of the Chosen Men. They fight, they fight, and well... they also fight. Secrets are kept secret, French people get shot, Spanish women are seduced, and a Rothschild dresses up as a Methodist woman. It's a trip. Join Matt and Connor as they sit down to discuss the first step of their great adventure together. After this, there are only 15 more to go!

This week on rabble radio, we feature a segment from our most recent Off the Hill political panel. This month, our theme was ‘Off the Hill: Tackling systemic inequalities.' This month is Black History Month. In our political panel this month, we examined the critical issues facing us in Canada this month including the privatization of health care in federal-provincial agreements, the ongoing space right wing sentiment has in mainstream culture and some of the initiatives happening across the country to address systemic racism and inequality. Our February panel included MP Matthew Green, Richard Sharpe, Stephen Brown and Karl Nerenberg. Hosted by Robin Browne.   If you like the show please consider subscribing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you find your podcasts.

This week on rabble radio, rabble contributor Doreen Nicoll speaks to Katie Purdy, a drag performer in Oakville, Ontario. Purdy is on a mission to host more drag events in the Great Toronto Area.  Katie Purdy (or, as they're known in drag, Capt Danny Bailey) is a new face in the Canadian drag scene. Largely influenced by the style of Elton John, The Beatles, and Ninja Sex Party, Purdy's drag act is fluid – one performance may be drag king, next may be queen. Out of drag, Purdy identifies as a pansexual gender queer or "cis-ish" and does not care about labels.  Later this month, Purdy is hosting Take Me to the Drag Show! Learn more about this event below.  Take Me to the Drag Show!  When: February 18, 2023 (doors open at 7pm show starts at 8pm)  Where: Seasons Brasserie, downtown Oakville, Ont.  Hosted by local drag artist Capt Danny Bailey, featuring home town icon Adrianna Exposée, plus Toronto stars Krēme Inakuchi, and Tash Riot! Join us at the historic Seasons Brasserie for an evening of memorable drag numbers, and delicious hor d'oeuvres. Show will be 18+ due to the possibility of adult themes and profanities. Tipping the performers is encouraged. Tickets are available via ​​Eventbrite.  Join us for Off the Hill this month!  Black History Month is our lens for a dive into critical issues facing us in Canada this month. Our panel will also dig into some of the initiatives happening across the country to address systemic racism and inequality. This month we're joined by: Matthew Green, MP Hamilton-Centre; Richard Sharpe, director of the Black Equity Branch, Treasury Board Secretariat in the Ontario Public Service; Stephen Brown, CEO of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, and rabble's own senior parliamentary reporter, Karl Nerenberg.  You don't want to miss this panel.

There are times when you need to give your brain a bit of a break, that's when comfort shows come in handy! Movies and TV shows you can watch again and again- you can appreciate them every time and they don't get old. The tension never gets too much for you because you already know what's going to happen. You can just relax and enjoy the familiar story, revelling in the company of characters you know and visiting their world once more. They're great for creating to as well because you don't have to worry about missing anything important. I have quite a lot on my list. Often it's older stuff but there are newer things as well. Scott Pilgrim Vs the World, Romney and Michelle's High School Reunion, The Life Aquatic with Steve Siszou, Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, Conan the Barbarian, The Office (US version), Parks and Rec, the Richard Sharpe series, The New Girl, The Duellists, and much more. For Banes it was things like Friday the 13th part 2, Back to the Future 2, Terminator 2 and more. This is a great season for comfort shows, especially the Christmas themed ones. What are your fave comfort shows and why? This week Gunwallace has given us the theme to This theme is unsettling, creepy, on an angle… off-putting. It's a journey into a strange dimension. The lights are dim and won't turn to full brightness, it's grey and shadows abound, what are the strange sparkles in the darkness? A heavily splintered dark wooden door slams shut. This is a perfect late 80s horror film sountrack! A mix of electronic and orchestral sounds are layered to make this scary, demonic piece.

What was England's history like before William the Conqueror came from Normandy in 1066?  How did the Napoleonic Wars play out from a strategic standpoint?  Newt's guest is one of his favorite historical novel writers, the prolific author, Bernard Cornwell.  He is the author of the Richard Sharpe series and The Saxon series, now known as, “The Last Kingdom.” bernardcornwell.net  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on April 17th 2022 The subject of tonight's conversation. SHARPE, based upon the novels by Bernard Cornwell, set during the Napoleonic Wars, and starring Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe, which was one of those long format film series that appeared on ITV for sixteen feature-length stories across about fifteen years from 1993 to 2008 that somehow I was never particularly drawn to, and so I never actually saw one. Luckily, our regular contributor and History Woman LISA PARKER, from the ROUND THE ARCHIVES podcast, was on hand to guide me towards seeing its greatness, and I hope that you'll agree with me that her enthusiasm for the show is infectious and truly makes for a fascinating hour as we discuss what turns out to be a rather interesting sounding series of TV films, some of which was filmed in the Crimea, and that now much-troubled country of Ukraine, which just goes to show that, unfortunately, two hundred years later, when it comes to people disputing the ownership of pieces of land in many ways little has really changed. PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.

A medical savant, Dr. Richard Sharpe transcended his working class roots to become a world class dermatologist. Although the Sharpes seemingly had a perfect life, the façade crumbled one night after an explosive and deadly decision.

Bernard shares the lowdown on his upcoming novel, War Lord, his family connections to Saxon hero, Uhtred and much more! Hear about the possible discovery of the location of the monumental Battle of Brunanburh, Bernard's fantasy dig sites, and the return of Richard Sharpe – famously brought to life on screen by Sean Bean. Please note: This is an unabridged, audio-only version of a video interview original released on the Time Team Official YouTube channel.

In this episode Bishop Umbers chats with Richard Sharpe and Jeremy McLellan about all things humour, wit, and stand-up comedy in light of the phenomenology of the human person. Richard Sharpe is a Latin Tutor at the Lyceum Institute. An American and cradle Catholic, his undergraduate and graduate studies in philosophy brought him to a study of the phenomenology of the human person, especially the nature of humour and its role in our lives. He's also had an on and off addiction to performing at open mic comedy nights. Jeremy McLellan is an American stand-up comedian and Catholic convert. He was recently awarded a Teaching Fellowship at Word on Fire Ministries and was named a “New Face of Comedy” at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. Before the pandemic Jeremy completed sold-out tours in the US, Canada, UK, and Pakistan.

The Battle of Waterloo Waterloo (Sharpe's Adventures, No. 11) by Bernard Cornwell  This excerpt of the book describes the battle for the Crossroads that connected the British Army to the Prussian Army. Napoleon attacked and defeated the Prussians then turned to face the British at Waterloo two days later. This selection serves as an introduction to this fine book. Purchase the book or Audiobook on Audible.  About the book- June 1815: The Duke of Wellington, the Prince of Orange, and Napoleon will meet on the battlefield--and decide the fate of Europe With the emperor Napoleon at its head, an enormous French army is marching toward Brussels. The British and their allies are also converging on Brussels--in preparation for a grand society ball. It is up to Richard Sharpe to convince the Prince of Orange, the inexperienced commander of Wellington's Dutch troops, to act before it is too late. But Sharpe's warning cannot stop the tide of battle, and the British suffer heavy losses on the road to Waterloo. Wellington has few reserves of men and ammunition; the Prussian army has not arrived; and the French advance wields tremendous firepower and determination. Victory seems impossible.

Dr. Richard Sharpe could be described as many things, genius, arrogant, anti-social, successful, cruel. Richard was raised in a highly abusive household. He stereotypically continued the abuse, hitting and tormenting his wife and children. The fact that Richard graduated from medical school, while constantly abusing his family, highlights his complicated genius. Karen Sharpe was Richard's high school sweetheart, she suffered severe abuse for decades. Richard's growing fortune was not enough to keep his demons at bay. Karen Sharpe finally had enough of being abused, she was planning to divorce. That meant Karen would be entitled to half of Richard's successful businesses. Richard couldn't have that and he did the unspeakable, in an ill-conceived murder plot.This episode is sponsored by;Podcorn- a marketplace for podcasters and advertisersHuge thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

In this week's episode, I discuss four ideas that will help us as men to find the will and the strength to move through life even as we face strife and challenges. Those four ideas are: The will to act - simply put, the willingness and the ability to take action even when we are afraid of the outcomes; Understanding the difference between risk and uncertainty - the two concepts are NOT the same and one must understand clearly the difference between the two in order to prosper under certain regimes; Taking Extreme Ownership of yourself and your actions - don't ever hide or cower behind anyone or anything to avoid responsibility for your actions, but own them and their consequences; Iron Sharpens Iron - seek out and treasure those men who will tell you, without fear or favour, exactly when and where you are screwing up, and never ever disregard or discount their advice, for they can be trusted while others cannot; Follow the steps outlined in this podcast, and you will quickly find that your idleness and laziness will disappear. They will be replaced by achievement and momentum, which is what you need in order to get anything done in this world that hates you.

Key Takeaways: Building Supply Chain Resiliency Supply chain resilience is the ability of a supply chain to both resist disruptions and recover operational capability after disruptions occur. COVID-19 has disrupted supply chains around the world and reminded supply chain professionals of the importance of building supply chain resiliency. While COVID is the latest crisis to disrupt supply chains, it is certainly not the last. Consumers, investors, governments, and communities may ultimately judge companies on how they respond to this period of disruption. As supply chains have become larger, more sophisticated, and global, there is a greater chance for disruption. There is a reactive and proactive element to building supply chain resiliency. There are 3 types of supply chain disruptions: geopolitical, commercial, and physical. Supply chain resiliency process begins with understanding where your supply chain is vulnerable to disruption. Once a supply chain vulnerability is identified, measures should be taken to minimize or eliminate the vulnerability.

Agincourt by Bernard Cornwell.This segment serves as an introduction to this fine book. Purchase it at your favorite book seller or Audible. The New York Times bestseller, now available in paperback— the heroic tale of Agincourt.Bernard Cornwell, the New York Times bestselling “reigning king of historical fiction” (USA Today), tackles his most thrilling, rich, and enthralling subject yet—the heroic tale of Agincourt. The epic battle immortalized by William Shakespeare in his classic Henry V is the background for this breathtaking tale of heroism, love, devotion, and duty from the legendary author of the Richard Sharpe novels and the Saxon Tales. This extraordinary adventure will captivate from page one, proving once again and most powerfully, as author Lee Child attests, that “nobody in the world does this stuff better than Cornwell.”

Celtman - Extreme Scottish Triathlon. Extreme, long, crazy, epic. Called as you want, it will still kick your ass.

Well hello once again, once again those Nerds have given us another episode full of fun and laughter, so strap in and hang on tight as we enjoy the rid. Please remember to keep arms inside the ride at all times to avoid injury. To start this mad cap episode we have the cast list of the new Dr. Dolittle with Robert Downey Jr. This cast has almost as many stars as the US flag. Will this be just another remake of a great movie, or will it be great? Who knows, at present all we know for sure is the cast is pretty impressive. Next up we take a moment to discuss the presence of water on the moon. That’s right water on the moon, is it H2O or OH, is there enough for a pool to soak away the long dreary hours after working all day as a janitor. Oops, that was the story for Space Quest, sorry. But the presence of water is important to plans to build a moon base for further space exploration. Last topic is about Crazy Taxi and not horrifying us with gruesome violence like the horror movie right there on our TV, called the 6 o’clock news. Sorry, distracted again, but hey, it is an amazing line up to entertain you and is followed by the usual shout outs, remembrances, birthdays and events of interest. As always we would love to hear from you, and please remember to take care of each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES:Dr Dolittle Movie starring Robert Downey Jr - http://collider.com/robert-downey-jr-doctor-dolittle-movie-reshoots/Moon Water - https://phys.org/news/2019-04-meteoroid-eject-precious-moon.html- https://www.newscientist.com/article/2199618-there-is-water-just-under-the-surface-of-the-moon-that-we-could-use/Crazy Taxi patent expiration - https://patents.google.com/patent/US6200138B1/enGames currently playingProfessor– Age of Empire 2 HD - https://store.steampowered.com/app/221380/Age_of_Empires_II_HD/Buck– Car Simulator 2016 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/car-mechanic-simulator-2016/9nblggh4t4c4DJ– Apex Legends - https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legendsOther topics discussedThe Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (2020 movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voyage_of_Doctor_DolittleKnut the Polar Bear- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knut_(polar_bear)Inuka the Polar Bear- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InukaSelena Gomez bio- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selena_GomezThe Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (1922 novel)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voyages_of_Doctor_DolittleThe Futurist (Robert Downey Jr. album)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Futurist_(Robert_Downey_Jr._album)Craig Robinson (actor)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Robinson_(actor)Pineapple Express (2008 movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineapple_Express_(film)Puss in Boots- https://shrek.fandom.com/wiki/Puss_in_BootsTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014 film)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_(2014_film)LADEE - Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LADEELCROSS - Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCROSSNASA's strike on moon worked- http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/10/09/probe.moon.crash/index.htmlWater on Titan?- https://www.astrobio.net/news-exclusive/a-water-ocean-on-titan/Moon (2009 film)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_(film)Aniara (1956 poem)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AniaraSpace: 1999 (1975 TV Series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space:_1999Bottle Waters of the World- http://www.finewaters.com/bottled-waters-of-the-world/japanDriver : San Franciso- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver:_San_FranciscoKylie Minogue Darling Perfume- https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Kylie-Minogue/Darling-842.htmlLoading screen mini games- https://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/11/the-patent-on-loading-screen-mini-games-is-about-to-expire/Patent - https://patents.google.com/patent/US5718632Midtown Madness (1999 game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midtown_MadnessMidnight Club (racing series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_ClubMidnight Club 3: Dub Edition- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Club_3:_Dub_EditionAssassin’s Creed Unity free giveaway- https://www.gamesradar.com/au/ubisoft-is-giving-away-assassins-creed-unity-for-free-as-a-nod-to-the-notre-dame-cathedral/My Summer Car (game)- https://store.steampowered.com/app/516750/My_Summer_Car/Days Gone motorcycle upgrade- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP5OjNq_CfsEVA-8 Auto (Apex Legends Gun)- https://apexlegends.gamepedia.com/EVA-8_AutoAl-Aqsa Mosque on fire same time as Notre Dame- https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/small-fire-broke-out-jerusalems-al-aqsa-mosque-flames-ravaged-notre-dame-180971983/Monty Python's Life of Brian- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python%27s_Life_of_Brian3D Printed heart using patient cells- https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2019/04/15/USAT/903d849a-04cb-4171-b786-4cd7e60fcf8a-AFP_AFP_1FN7BD.JPG?crop=5471,3077,x0,y566&width=3200&height=1680&fit=boundsLive Animal in keychains- http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/04/14/china.animal.keyring/index.htmlMel Blanc (voice actor)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_BlancPeppermint (2018 movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppermint_(2018_film)Ronin (1998 film)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronin_(film)Operation Desert Shield also known as The Gulf War- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_WarElvis Lives!

Prof. Richard Sharpe, Hon. MRIA Based at the University of Oxford, Richard Sharpe has published extensively on a range of medieval topics – lives of saints, studies of medieval libraries, individual manuscripts and collections. With Mícheál Hoyne, he has compiled Clóliosta, an online catalogue of books printed in Irish, 1571-1871 (publication autumn 2019). Conference by the Royal Irish Academy Library in partnership with Roinn na Sean-Ghaeilge, Ollscoil Mhá Nuad. The Royal Irish Academy manuscript known by its shelfmark ‘23 N 10' was produced in Ballycummin, Co. Roscommon, in the sixteenth century. It is an extraordinarily important manuscript for many reasons, but it is particularly significant because it contains tales which are amongst the oldest surviving literature in Irish. These tales would originally have been preserved in a now-lost manuscript called Cín Dromma Snechta. Aside from wonderful examples of Old Irish narrative literature, the manuscript also preserves legal texts, poetry and wisdom literature from early medieval Ireland. This two-day conference will explore all aspects of the production, survival and significance of the ‘Book of Ballycummin' and the marvels of medieval Irish literature which are contained within it. Described in the nineteenth century as a ‘little remnant of the work of the ancients', this manuscript is a remarkable witness to the earliest development of Irish literature.

Born in the wake of one devastating hurricane, the American Logistics Aid Network found itself in the eye of another. ALAN was formed in response to a series of unusually intense storms in 2005, most notably Hurricane Katrina. Today, the organization draws on an extensive roster of private companies, trade associations, government agencies and relief organizations to respond to any manner of disaster, enabling the rapid delivery of food, clothing, shelter and other critical supplies to those in need. Kathy Fulton, interim president and director of operations with ALAN, and Richard Sharpe, chief executive officer of Competitive Insights LLC, join us to discuss how ALAN and its partners responded to Hurricane Sandy, which slammed the Caribbean and Atlantic seaboard in 2012. They talk about the lessons they learned, and how they plan on dealing with the next big disaster.

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is Britain's most popular writer of historical fiction Bernard Cornwell. His work has sold more than five million copies in nine languages. His most famous character is the rifleman Richard Sharpe - an embittered, slightly villainous career soldier whose fortunes are followed through the late 18th century and early 19th. Cornwell's journey to writing was a long one. He was born in 1944 the illegitimate son of an English woman and Canadian airman. His mother was forced to give him up for adoption when he was a few weeks old and, after a short spell in an orphanage, he was brought up by an Essex couple who were members of the religious group The Peculiar People.He trained first to be a teacher and then joined the BBC as a researcher on Nationwide. He had a successful career in television but, when he met the woman he wanted to marry, he had to leave it all to join her in America. Refused a Green Card, he reassured her that he would support them both by writing historical novels - an ambition he'd held for years but had yet to realize. On the strength of the first book, he was offered a contract for an entire series and, eventually, his character Richard Sharpe was brought to life by Sean Bean.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Flower duet from Lakme by Delibes Book: A Glastonbury Romance by John Cowper Powys Luxury: My boat - but not to escape
