‘Unforgettable characters, written with irrepressible verve and historical accuracy [...] thrums with swordswinging energy.' ― Simon Sebag Montefiore  The Hundred Years' War was an age-defining conflict. The violent struggle between England and France spanned over a century and permanently transformed the art of European warfare itself. Rich with stories of iconic figures, from Joan of Arc to Henry V, the sheer scale of it continues to inspire fictional retellings today.  In his Essex Dogs trilogy, bestselling historian and author Dan Jones retells the battles and bloodshed through the eyes of the Essex Dogs, a fictional platoon. Now, as the series reaches its climax, he joins us on stage for an exploration of war, plague, and the third and final instalment of the trilogy – Lion Hearts.  Jones' story resumes as the Black Death is tearing through Europe. The Essex Dogs have scattered: Romford thrives in the glittering court of King Edward III, Loveday struggles with loss and a reluctant return to violence, and Millstone and Thorp enlist themselves on a deadly mission to escort a princess to Castille. Yet an explosive turn of events is set to pull them back together.  Jones returned to Intelligence Squared to explore the brutal realities of the Hundred Years' War, the profound impact of the bubonic plague, and the craft of weaving together fact and fiction.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey, guitarists (OK...and wannabe guitarists too)! What were the records that made/make YOU want to pick a guitar and learn to play? That's the burning question this week, as we welcome Third Lad Andy Golding from C86 legends The Wolfhounds to O3L! The Wolfhounds are an English noise pop band formed in Romford, Essex, in 1985 by Dave Callahan, Paul Clark, Andy Golding, Andy Bolton and Frank Stebbing, and originally active until 1990. The band reformed in 2005 and continues to write, record and play live, releasing new albums in 2014, 2016, and 2020. (Thanks, Wikipedia.) Andy's current project is called Dragon Welding (hmmm...what does that mean? Listen and find out!), whose latest single is "TADT (These Are Dangerous Times)." What the hip kids are saying about Dragon Welding: "..a pulsating beat with all sorts of strings being strummed and plucked, in all sorts of 60's/70's school holidays tv series soundtrack kind of ways." - Whisperin' & Hollerin' - 2023 "Dragon Welding.. guitarist of Essex post-rock outliers The Wolfhounds, is a wondrous tapestry of ambient guitar instrumentals and sonic manipulations. This is music that channels the cosmic experimentations of 70s German avant-garde synth-rock with a dark Essex twist that somehow has glorious poptones. For fans of : Mouse On Mars, Plaid, Cluster." - Platekompaniet - 2023 Plus, as an added bonus, hear some of Brett's teenage recordings, including the "legendary" 1990 Empty Glass concert! What the hip kids said: "Wow, he sounds like a neanderthal toddler who just discovered music for the first time!" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome To Horror Episode 192 is a round up of our visit to this year's Romford Horror Film Festival. We had an excellent time on our first visit to the festival. We got to see two amazing features - “The Pocket Film of Superstitions” and “How To Kill Monsters”, (which went on to win several awards at the festival, including best director and best actress). We give spoiler-free reviews of these features, as well as the shorts “Collection Only” and “Kin”, and talk about the festival as a whole, and some of the lovely people we met there; such as author, actor and podcaster Lauren Jane Barnett, director Tony Mardon and actor Ross Sambridge. This episode is (hopefully) spoiler free, but with (likely) swearing. Join us!

Jeannette talks to Harry Hastings, the co-CEO and co-founder of Ocean Holidays. Harry shares his personal and professional journey, starting from his early days as a self-employed sales agent to the growth and challenges of building Ocean Holidays over the past 20 years. He discusses the importance of perseverance, resilience, and learning from mistakes in business. Harry also opens up about his personal experience as a parent of a child with special needs and the impact it has had on his life and the company's commitment to accessibility in the travel industry KEY TAKEAWAYS Harry highlights the significance of having strong controls and processes in place, especially in the early stages of a business. Our upbringing and experiences shape our entrepreneurial mindset. We should use the lessons of the past to shape the outlook for our futures. There have been major setbacks in the travel industry, including thin margins and global shocks, which is why there's a great need for resilience in navigating these challenges. The culture at Ocean Holidays is happy, fun, and high-performing, with a focus on personal relationships and high standards. This drives the company to greater heights constantly. BEST MOMENTS "I think that if we look at my childhood and we go up to when I was 18, 19 years old, both my parents were creatives. So they're both playwrights and they never had full-time jobs." "You know your children better than anybody, any doctor, any expert, any specialist, anyone that gives you advice, you know them better than anybody else and have confidence and belief in what you know." "Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Good morning everyone! Thank you for listening to the Motivated Entrepreneurs podcast. I'm your host, Dean Booty. Today is Saturday, the 24th of September. Today we have the book review called "Barry Hearn: My Life" by Barry Hearn. A larger than life working class hero, Romford born and bred - always ready with the perfect soundbite - Barry Hearn was famously described as 'roguish but never a rogue'. Hearn is credited with turning snooker into one of the biggest sports in Britain. He essentially turned a sport in which competitors wear bowties into a massive, globally televised event. Away from the table, his promotions empire casts its net over a dozen sports - from professional boxing to darts, fishing to ten-pin bowling - and his career spans four decades. He also previously owned Leyton Orient football club. Packed with hilarious anecdotes from the golden age of snooker, and behind-the-scenes insight into boxing negotiations and darts bust-ups, Hearn's book is a joy to read from start to finish. Give a listen.
