Podcasts about shaped our world

On today's episode we sit down with journalist and author Vincent Bevins to discuss his recent book If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution. This wide reaching conversation reviews the main themes and topics of his book, and the broader political lessons and reflections that the global social movements between 2010-2020, with an emphasis on those outside of the global North, can provide today. Here's a description of If We Burn "From 2010 to 2020, more people participated in protests than at any other point in human history. Yet we are not living in more just and democratic societies as a result. IF WE BURN is a stirring work of history built around a single, vital question: How did so many mass protests lead to the opposite of what they asked for? From the so-called Arab Spring to Gezi Park in Turkey, from Ukraine's Euromaidan to student rebellions in Chile and Hong Kong, acclaimed journalist Vincent Bevins provides a blow-by-blow account of street movements and their consequences, recounted in gripping detail. He draws on four years of research and hundreds of interviews conducted around the world, as well as his own strange experiences in Brazil, where a progressive-led protest explosion led to an extreme-right government that torched the Amazon. Careful investigation reveals that conventional wisdom on revolutionary change is gravely misguided. In this groundbreaking study of an extraordinary chain of events, protesters and major actors look back on successes and defeats, offering urgent lessons for the future." Bevins is also the author of The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World

The Bible warns us that the sluggard justifies his laziness by claiming there is danger around every corner (Proverbs 22:13). On the other hand, Ephesians 5:11-13 calls us to actively expose the deeds of darkness, even of unbelievers. God calls Christians to be like the men of Issachar, who not only understood the times, but also knew what to do about them (I Chronicles 12:32). Discernment is not primarily a supernatural spidey-sense that tingles for some especially spiritual Christians. It is the ability to understand what the threats of our time are and to apply biblical principles to them.

Rubik's cubes, leg warmers and Walkmen. How does the pop culture of a decade define it? Looking beyond clichés and caricatures, how was culture an agent of social change in the 1980s? Dr. Kasia Tomasiewicz speaks to Dr. Lucy Robinson, author of Now That's What I Call a History of the 1980s, to discuss photograph of Diana's legs, Roland Rat and political power of popstars.   “Nostalgia assumes you had something positive to look back on.”  “Historians in the 80s start thinking, what is the role of how we talk about war in perpetuating these kinds of ideas of masculinity?” "Rather than just taking popular culture seriously, I wanted to learn from it."  BOOK LINK https://manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526167255 Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Kasia Tomasiewicz.

Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues author Jonathan Kennedy joins us to discuss how microscopic pathogens have shaped our world. What We Discuss with Jonathan Kennedy: If we were to weigh all the bacteria on Earth, their mass would be about 1,000 times more than all humans. If all of the viruses on the planet were laid end to end, they would stretch for 100 million light years. About eight percent of the human genome's DNA comes from retroviral infections we've endured over our evolution. From them, we've inherited memory and the ability to give birth to live young. Our gut microbiota communicates with our brains and can directly affect our mood and influence our behavior. We modern humans have our ancestors' romantic soirees with Neanderthals to thank for genetic defenses against countless viral diseases. How the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture was a double-edged sword that brought us innovative progress and population-decimating pandemics. And much more...

3 : 10 Reasons You Can Homeschool - Reason 3: History of Public Education I pray that if you desire to get your child out of the pragmatic government schools, you can do so. Digging deep into the history of our public school system, Amy explains how denying absolute truths has turned into the complete reversal of basic truths. The educational system can do this because the groundwork for establishing the religion of secular humanism, influencing children with moral relativism, and completely changing the foundation of a liberal arts education has been detrimental to our American society.

This week, we welcome my new friend, writer, activist, filmmaker, and witch, Sarah Lyons, for a special in-person recording of the pod! I actually adored the background of city sounds you hear in this interview that I did with the @citymystic discussing her two books, which I personally think were well missing from occult literature until she wrote them, How to Study Magic and Revolutionary Witchcraft. We giggle, we joke, we contemplate horror, as we discuss some serious issues such as; Who gets to define who as “Othered”? Why is it so important to reclaim the term Wtich? How does the body act as an object held within the political dimension? What's the difference between calling yourself Witch vs Magician? Why might we need the discipline of a container to unleash ecstasy? And perhaps most importantly, how can we find safety as we stand at crossroads making deals with uncertainty? All this and more, on today's episode of SaturnVox. To find more on Sarah, check out their website where you can find access to their impressive portfolio of written articles, book them for consultation for your tv show or podcast, read their blog, or buy their books!

To celebrate International Women's Day, we explore the remarkable stories of four women who overcame immense obstacles to achieve greatness and leave a lasting impact on the world.First, we delve into the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman, the former slave who became one of the most famous conductors of the Underground Railroad. Despite the immense danger she faced as she led countless slaves to freedom, Tubman was undaunted in her pursuit of justice, and she continued to fight for civil rights long after the abolition of slavery.Next, we turn our attention to Claudette Colvin, the teenager who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus nine months before Rosa Parks did the same. Although her actions were instrumental in the fight for civil rights, Colvin's name is often overlooked in history books. We delve into the reasons behind her erasure from the narrative, and celebrate her courage and resilience in the face of discrimination and injustice.We then discuss Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in British history. We explore the challenges and triumphs of her reign, her role in modernizing the monarchy, and the ways in which she has served as a symbol of continuity and stability in times of great change.Finally, we examine the groundbreaking work of Marie Curie, the physicist and chemist who became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the first person to win two in different fields. Despite facing tremendous sexism and opposition from her male colleagues, Curie's discoveries and contributions to the field of science continue to impact our world today.Through the stories of Tubman, Colvin, Queen Elizabeth II, and Curie, we gain a deeper understanding of the courage, determination, and resilience that it takes to change the world, and the importance of recognizing and celebrating the achievements of these women on International Women's Day.Visit our websiteFollow us on InstagramListen on your favorite podcast platform Like this show?

Nomads: The Wanderers Who Shaped Our World (W. W. Norton & Company, 2022) by Anthony Sattin tells the remarkable story of how nomads have fostered and refreshed civilization throughout history. Moving across millennia, Nomads explores the transformative, sometimes bloody, sometimes peaceful and symbiotic relationship between settled and mobile societies. Often overlooked in history, the story of the umbilical connections between these two ways of living generates a radical new view of human civilization. From the Neolithic revolution to the twenty-first century via the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the great nomadic empires of the Arabs and Mongols, the Mughals and the development of the Silk Road, nomads have been a perpetual counterbalance to the empires created by the power of human cities. Exploring the evolutionary biology and psychology of restlessness that makes us human, this sweeping history charts the power of nomadism from before the Bible to its seeming decline in the present day. Connecting us to mythology and the records of antiquity, Nomads explains why we leave home, and why we like to return again. Maggie Freeman is a PhD student in the School of Architecture at MIT. Her work focuses on histories of nomad-state relationships and uses of architecture in nomadic contexts, with a focus on the Middle East. Learn more about your ad choices.

Will A Colorado River Drought Dry Up Energy Supplies? This week, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, a federal agency that manages water in the Western U.S., started the process of cutting water use allotments along the Colorado River after seven states missed a deadline for coming up with their own reduction plan. The area has been under a long-running drought—and with water in demand for everything from drinking to agriculture to industry, and with the population of the area on the rise, agreements over water use are difficult to come by. The drought has another less obvious effect on the area as well—drops in water allocation could lead to declines in power production in a region that relies on several major hydroelectric facilities. Umair Irfan, staff writer at Vox, joins Ira to talk about the plan for distributing western water and other stories from the week in science—including a possible reprieve for nuclear power plants in Germany and California, a geomagnetic storm sparking an astronomical light show, orders for future supersonic aircraft, and investigations into why thinking hard makes you physically tired.   How Viruses Have Shaped Our World SARS-CoV2. HIV. CMV. HSV-1 and HSV-2. MPX. EBV. HPV. WPV. WNV. The alphabet soup of viruses that infect us may seem long and daunting. But as scientist and author Joseph Osmundson writes in Virology: Essays for the Living, the Dead, and the Small Things In Between, these viruses are vastly dwarfed by the total number of harmless or even beneficial viruses on our planet. “It's a rounding error larger than zero,” he writes. A single ounce of seawater will contain more than seven billion individual viruses incapable of doing us harm. Osmundson's book is both COVID-19 quarantine memoir, and reflections of a self-described queer man coming of age after the identification of the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS. In it, he questions the war-like language we ascribe to “fighting” pathogens, explores the non-binary nature of health and illness, and advocates for a world where we are more ready to care for each other. “The problem wasn't illness,” he writes of HIV's death toll before the development of effective treatments. “The problem never is. Illness is a fact of life. The problem is our inability to provide care to all.” Osmundson talks to producer Christie Taylor about making new meanings for viruses through biomedicine and public health interventions. Plus, lessons for the monkeypox global public health emergency, and all the viruses to come. Seagrass Oasis In Gulf Of Mexico Signals Good News For Manatees Florida's offshore marine habitat is in peril. Populations of fish are dwindling in many places, and manatees have been dying in record numbers. The basis for much of this life lies in seagrass just under our boats. We join scientist on a trip into one of the healthiest seagrass meadows in the Gulf of Mexico. Read the rest at sciencefriday.com.

Prime Minister Pierre Eliot Trudeau once gave a press conference while visiting Washington, during which he famously said: "Living next to [the United States] is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt." For many of the countries in eastern Europe, this must also ring true, except that the elephant hasn't necessarily been the same bedfellow. At different points, particularly over the last 2 centuries, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, have all caused smaller neighbors to be very nervous––with just cause. With the current situation in Eastern Europe, as Ukraine and potentially other nations fight for their right to exist, it seems a timely moment to talk to Tomek Jankowski about the recent release of the 2nd edition of his book, Eastern Europe!: Everything You Need to Know about the History (and More) of a Region That Shaped Our World and Still Does, published by Academic Studies Press and New Europe Books. The book is a great hybrid – it can be read all the way through as a fast-paced and easily digestible tour through the history of a region most people in Western Europe and North America don't know well, or it can be used as a reference text; a reader can dip into it to find answers to questions. In our far ranging conversation, we discuss the common dynamics and cultural legacies that we can see today as a result of the historical reality that many eastern European countries share. National identity is a complex and contested subject, no more so than in Eastern European where some nations have only existed for short periods of time or, in other cases, national sovereignty has come and gone depending on the era. In addition to the invasion of Ukraine, first in 2014 and then this year, many other nations that share border with Russia - the Baltic states, Finland, and Moldova – are also feeling increasingly vulnerable. Others, such as Serbia and Hungary, are offering either official or popular support for Russian's aggression but it is a very contested issue. We discuss the roots of these various reactions. On the subject of Russia, Jankowski addresses why Putin has repeatedly framed the current war using the language and summoning the ghosts of the Soviet Union's role in WWII. Even 80 years on. He reminds the listener of Russian sacrifices and losses in that war, explains how they were remembered and understood in the Soviet Union under Stalin, Khrushchev and later leaders, and how they are remembered and understood in Russia today.

At different points, particularly over the last 2 centuries, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, have all caused smaller neighbors to be very nervous––with just cause. With the current situation in Eastern Europe, as Ukraine and potentially other nations fight for their right to exist, it seems a timely moment to talk to Tomek Jankowski about the recent release of the 2nd edition of his book, Eastern Europe!: Everything You Need to Know about the History (and More) of a Region That Shaped Our World and Still Does, published by Academic Studies Press and New Europe Books. The book is a great hybrid – it can be read all the way through as a fast-paced and easily digestible tour through the history of a region most people in Western Europe and North America don't know well, or it can be used as a reference text; a reader can dip into it to find answers to questions. In our far ranging conversation, we discuss the common dynamics and cultural legacies that we can see today as a result of the historical reality that many eastern European countries share. National identity is a complex and contested subject, no more so than in Eastern European where some nations have only existed for short periods of time or, in other cases, national sovereignty has come and gone depending on the era. In addition to the invasion of Ukraine, first in 2014 and then this year, many other nations that share border with Russia - the Baltic states, Finland, and Moldova – are also feeling increasingly vulnerable. Others, such as Serbia and Hungary, are offering either official or popular support for Russian's aggression but it is a very contested issue. We discuss the roots of these various reactions. On the subject of Russia, Jankowski addresses why Putin has repeatedly framed the current war using the language and summoning the ghosts of the Soviet Union's role in WWII. Even 80 years on. He reminds the listener of Russian sacrifices and losses in that war, explains how they were remembered and understood in the Soviet Union under Stalin, Khrushchev and later leaders, and how they are remembered and understood in Russia today.

Prime Minister Pierre Eliot Trudeau once gave a press conference while visiting Washington, during which he famously said: "Living next to [the United States] is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant.

We finish our final third of Vincent Bevins' The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World about some of the most pivotal yet hugely unsung hinge points in the Cold War, centered around the mass slaughter of communists (and those alleged to be) in Indonesia circa 1965-66.

October 1 marks the fifty-fifth anniversary of the beginning of one of the worst episodes of mass murder in the twentieth century: the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Indonesians in 1965-1966. Organized and directed by Indonesia's military, the killings targeted people associated with the country's communist party, the world's largest outside of China and the Soviet Union. The dismembering of a large part of Indonesia's political spectrum reshaped politics not only in Indonesia but around the world, foreclosing on a political pathway that might have produced greater justice and more equitable outcomes in the Global South. Despite the enormity of these events, and the sordid U.S. role of support, the killings in Indonesia are little-known in the United States and beyond. And within Indonesia, a country in which the outsized power of the military endures, there has been no accountability for the slaughter. This show will explore what took place in Indonesia in the mid-1960s, and its significance for the sprawling country and the larger world; the enforced silence surrounding these events in much of Indonesian society since that time; and their present-day manifestations and efforts aimed at accountability. In doing so, the show brings together three guests:  Vincent Bevins, John Roosa, and  Krithika Varagur, hosted by Joseph Nevins.  Books by Our Host and Guests Vincent Bevins (2020) The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World. ​ Joseph Nevins (Co-edited with Nancy Peluso) (2008) Taking Southeast Asia to Market: Commodities, Nature, and People in the Neoliberal Age.

Simpson (2008) Economists with Guns. Selections from the Zoom Chat Audience: When I toured the GDR in 1983 with a multi-party delegation, there were two Indonesian comrades, both teaching economics in Moscow. Are there countries other than the Netherlands that host other survivors of the massacre? Response: Long story about the exiles. Thousands of students and party activists and other nationalists were stranded in the Soviet Bloc and China after Oct 1. The PKI in China called all of them to come to China in 1966-67 and some did. But then China normalized relations with Indonesia in the early 1980s and the exiles were no longer welcome and many moved to W. Europe as refugees.  Audience: This is also the era of the Sino-Soviet split. Apparently PKI exiles were unable to get together to organize a party organization in exile. Response: Yes, and the Sino-Soviet split affected how the international left interpreted the defeat of the PKI. The Soviet side blamed the PKI for being too radical, too Maoist. While the Maoists blamed the ‘modern revisionists' in the PKI for not preparing the PKI to defend itself. In the process, the humanitarian side of the story was lost. A lot of the postmortem analyses by the international communist parties were really dogmatic and formulaic. Next Show: Trump's Wall Must Fall 10/15 https://www.facebook.com/events/425837915057329

Journalist Vincent Bevins (@Vinncent) joins us to discuss his book, "The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World"  What was the "Third World" and what was it's significance geopolitically. The CIA's moves in Southeast Asia. How our "Globalized" economy emerged with the mass murder of leftists.

Vincent Bevins is an American journalist and writer. From 2011 to 2016, he worked as a foreign correspondent based in Brazil for the Los Angeles Times, having worked in London for the Financial Times. Bevins moved to Jakarta in 2017 to cover Southeast Asia for the Washington Post. His first book, published in 2020, is entitled The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World.In this shocking revision of Cold War history, Bevins uses recently declassified documents, archival research and eye-witness testimony collected across twelve countries to piece together events from this era that few in the developed world can claim to know. They reveal the consistent brutal exterminations of unarmed leftists by right-wing US-backed militias, the scale of which did more to seal Washington's victory in the period than any clash with the Soviet Union.Jack Aldane speaks to the author on the UK publication date of the book, 11 June 2020.

John Simpson looks at the how the Iraq War has affected America's international role and reputation.

In Programme Three, Lyse Doucet looks at how the Iraq War changed the regional balance of power.

In Programme Two Magdhi Abdulhadi looks at how the neocon dream of a democratic Arab world was promoted then put in reverse as things went wrong in Iraq.

Magdi Abdelhadi explores how the dream of a democratic Arab world was promoted then put in reverse as things went wrong in Iraq.

Programme One: BBC correspondent Jim Muir evaluates how war has changed Iraq from the beginning of the invasion to the handover of power.

In this episode, we explore the incredible power words have to shape reality, tracing this truth back to the creation story. Just as God spoke the world into being, the enemy tempted and deceived using words. We see through stories like the Tower of Babel how unified language allowed people to accomplish anything.The printing press revolution spread ideas widely and the Bible was translated into common tongues. Shared words and meanings are key for communication and progress. Today, definitions are shifting as words are redefined contrary to their original intent, causing breakdown in society.Whose words are we listening to and repeating? Do toxic words from the world and enemy fill our minds? Or are we saturating our hearts with God's living, life-giving words? What we continually speak and believe directs our perception, relationships and destiny.
