This episode dives deep into ancient peace history, as Alice interviews Professor Polly Low, from Durham University, and Dr Hannah Cornwell, from the University of Birmingham. Polly is a historian of ancient Greece, with a particular interest in political history and interstate relations. Her 2007 book on Interstate Relations in Classical Greece examined the norms and ethics that shaped relations between Greek city states, the scope and enforcement of ‘international law', and the complexities of diplomacy across the Classical period. An expert on Greek inscriptions, she has published on many other aspects of Greek political history – including imperialism, political mechanisms for restoring or ensuring stability, discourses of victory and defeat, and the commemoration of the war dead in the 5th and 4th centuries BCE.Hannah's research focuses on Roman socio-political history, and she is particularly interested in Roman imperialism, discourses of power, ideas of peace and approaches to diplomacy. Her 2017 book Pax and the Politics of Peace examined the two generations that spanned the collapse of the Republic and the Augustan period in order to understand how the concept of pax Romana evolved, as a central ideology of Roman imperialism. She has also published multiple articles and chapters on the representation of Roman peace-makers in literary accounts, on negotiation and diplomacy during the Roman civil wars, physical sites of diplomatic practice, and the performance and theatre of diplomacy – among other topics. In this episode, we explore Greek and Roman understandings of peace and approaches to peacemaking. Polly and Hannah discuss the sources available to us, whose experiences of peace they particularly foreground, and what they can tell us about how ideas of peace evolved across antiquity. We consider the relationship between peacemaking and imperialism, habits of truce-making, the intricacies of diplomacy, and peace as a performance. The episode covers several hundred years of history, considering civil war contexts as well as interstate relations, and differences between democratic Athens and Rome under the Principate. We hope you enjoy the conversation. It's a long one, because of the ground we cover, so we'd suggest you listen in two halves!    For a version of our podcast with close captions, please use this link.

In this episode I talk with Anna Christine "AC" Seiple about slowing down, embodiment, and what it means to listen to our bodies and our parts.  AC is a licensed counselor and the author of The Sacred Art of Slowing Down. She lives in St. Andrews, Scotland, where she's working on her PhD exploring the intersection of ancient contemplative practices and modern mindfulness.  She shares why she felt called to write her book, how slowing down was not something she chose at first but something life required of her, and how chronic pain, illness, and unexpected disruptions shaped her relationship with her body. She talks honestly about what it's like to move from living primarily in the head, to slowly rebuilding trust with the body. Takeaways from this episode: • why slowing down often happens through life events rather than choice • how disconnection from the body can begin as a survival strategy • the role of self compassion and curiosity when parts resist slowing down • how faith, culture, and early messages can shape our relationship with our bodies • the importance of establishing safety before forcing embodiment • how slowing down and embodiment support parts that have been neglected • what it means to build new "muscle memory" with our nervous systems and parts • how seasons, light, and cycles mirror internal emotional rhythms I loved how she normalized how hard this work can be, and how she reminded us that slowing down does not mean changing who we are or stopping our lives. This conversation felt especially timely as the year winds down, a time when slowing down can feel counterintuitive. We continue part of this conversation in an extended interview for our paid community over on Substack, where we talk more about hope, seasons, and what it looks like to live with greater acceptance of where we are. About Anna Christine Seipel Anna Christine ("AC") is a licensed counselor, retreat leader, and researcher. She loves cultivating healing spaces that honor the entirety of our embodied beings. She holds two master's degrees, one in clinical mental health counseling and a second in ancient languages and is currently working on a PhD at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, exploring conversations between ancient contemplative practices and mindfulness interventions.

Royal fans grumble over the King's 2025 Christmas card, complaining that a photo taken in the spring “doesn't feel Christmassy.” Meanwhile, supporters are delighted to learn they can send cards to the Royal Family — and often receive one in return. William and Harry may both attend the 2026 World Cup in the United States as the next transatlantic royal showdown brews. William joins Kate's cold-water swimming routine, admitting he “does a lot of yelling” during plunges. Visitors to Windsor Great Park face a frustrating new detour around the Waleses' home. And officials explain why renaming streets linked to Prince Andrew is far more complex than it sounds — even as his old St Andrews golf course gets a clean rebrand.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

I first met the Rev back in 2009 when I moved to South Florida and started teaching at St Andrews in Boca. We worked in different grade levels but clicked instantly. Even after I left the school he stayed in my life and supported me through one of the hardest seasons I have ever faced. Years passed and when his name came up again I knew I had to bring him on the show.Rev has been teaching for more than 25 years and is a cornerstone of the St Andrews community. His former students now have children walking the same halls. He has touched generations and continues to show up with the same steady heart. Teaching is his passion but he also loves acting, singing and being a grandfather.Our conversation started with simple questions about his day to day life and turned into something much deeper. We talked about potential, loss, resilience and heartache. We explored how the school has changed over the years and what he hopes to do in the future. He is one of the calmest and most peaceful people you will ever meet. I cannot wait for you to hear this episode.

Join Dr. Ali Ansari, Professor of Iranian History and Founding Director of the Institute for Iranian Studies at the University of St Andrews, and Hoover Senior Fellow H.R. McMaster, as they examine the nature of the Islamic Republic, Western misunderstandings about the regime and why engagement strategies have repeatedly failed, and the widening gap between the regime's propagandized image of strength and the vulnerabilities revealed in recent conflicts. Drawing on recent events, including the 12-day Israeli campaign exposing profound intelligence and air-defense failures, Ansari examines the IRGC's struggles to reconstitute its terrorist and militia proxies in the region while confronting severe financial and economic crises at home, including shortages of electricity and a growing water crisis in the capital city of Tehran. Despite these mounting pressures, Ansari reflects on Iran's potential futures, from the emergence of new leadership to the enduring resilience of the Iranian people.

Yet another busy news week in UK energy! We discuss the budget and all of its windfall tax implications, the government's North Sea plan, and what the decommissioning industry needs. This week's episode features Energy Voice's Ryand Duff and Erikka Askeland, as well as Aberdeen University's John Underhill, and Three60 CEO Walter Thain. Up First, Ryan and Erikka discuss the surprises, or lack thereof, from Rachel Reeves' Autumn budget. With no changes to oil and gas tax and a reiteration of previously announced Grangemouth funding, the areas that are shedding jobs saw little support. However, the green energy sector saw something of a boost, but was it enough? Next, Ryan caught up with John Underhill about the future of UK licencing and how he came to his suggestion that led to the government's transitional energy certificates measure. But who paid for his study, and will this permitting change extend the life of North Sea producers? Finally, Walter Tahin tells all about the decommissioning market following an industry workshop at OEUK's Decommissioning Conference in St Andrews. Collaboration is a major theme, building upon Three60 and AF Decom's latest contract with BP.

The Hoover History Lab and its Applied History Working Group in close partnership with the Global Policy and Strategy Initiative held The Arsenal of Democracy Technology, Industry, and Deterrence in an Age of Hard Choices on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 4:00 PM - 5:15 PM PT. The event featured the authors Eyck Freymann, Hoover Fellow, and Harry Halem, Senior Fellow at Yorktown Institute, in conversation with Stephen Kotkin, Kleinheinz Family Senior Fellow. The US military stands at a moment of profound risk and uncertainty. China and its authoritarian partners have pulled far ahead in defense industrial capacity. Meanwhile, emerging technologies are reshaping the character of air and naval warfare and putting key elements of the US force at risk. To prevent a devastating war with China, America must rally its allies to build a new arsenal of democracy. But achieving this goal swiftly and affordably involves hard choices. The Arsenal of Democracy is the first book to integrate military strategy, industrial capacity, and budget realities into a comprehensive deterrence framework. While other books explain why deterrence matters, this book provides the detailed roadmap for how America can actually sustain deterrence through the 2030s—requiring a whole-of-nation effort with coordinated action across Congress, industry, and allied governments. Rapidly maturing technologies are already reshaping the battlefield: unmanned systems on air, land, sea, and undersea; advanced electronic warfare; space-based sensing; and more. Yet China's industrial strengths could give it advantages in a protracted conflict. The United States and its allies must both revitalize their industrial bases to achieve necessary production scale and adapt existing platforms to integrate new high-tech tools. FEATURING Eyck Freymann is a Hoover Fellow at Stanford University and a Non-Resident Research Fellow at the U.S. Naval War College, China Maritime Studies Institute. He works on strategies to preserve peace and protect U.S. interests and values in an era of systemic competition with China. He is the author of several books, including The Arsenal of Democracy: Technology, Industry, and Deterrence in an Age of Hard Choices, with Harry Halem, and One Belt One Road: Chinese Power Meets the World. His scholarly work has appeared in The China Quarterly and is forthcoming in International Security.  Harry Halem is a Senior Fellow at Yorktown Institute. He holds an MA (Hons) in Philosophy and International Relations from the University of St Andrews, and an MSc in Political Philosophy from the London School of Economics.  Mr. Halem worked for the Hudson Institute's Seapower Center, along with multiple UK think-tanks.  He has published a variety of short-form pieces and monographs on various aspects of military affairs, in addition to a short book on Libyan political history. Stephen Kotkin is the Kleinheinz Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution as well as a senior fellow at Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. He is also the Birkelund Professor in History and International Affairs emeritus at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (formerly the Woodrow Wilson School), where he taught for 33 years. He earned his PhD at the University of California–Berkeley and has been conducting research in the Hoover Library & Archives for more than three decades. Kotkin's research encompasses geopolitics and authoritarian regimes in history and in the present.

After 27 years, Melvyn Bragg has decided to step down from the In Our Time presenter's chair. With over a thousand episodes to choose from, he has selected just six that capture the huge range and depth of the subjects he and his experts have tackled. In this third of his choices, we hear Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss Greek philosophy. Their topic is Zeno of Elea, a pre-Socratic philosopher from c490-430 BC whose paradoxes were described by Bertrand Russell as "immeasurably subtle and profound." The best known argue against motion, such as that of an arrow in flight which is at a series of different points but moving at none of them, or that of Achilles who, despite being the faster runner, will never catch up with a tortoise with a head start. Aristotle and Aquinas engaged with these, as did Russell, yet it is still debatable whether Zeno's Paradoxes have been resolved.

In this episode I was pleased to be join by another star from Czechia in 2023 Amundi German Masters winner Kristyna Napoleaova as we find out about her 2025 season fresh off a Aramco China Championship team win with Mimi Rhodes, Trichat Cheenglab & Kutilda Pramphun.  Kristyna is from Pelhrimov in Czech Republic but currently resides in Prague. A late starter in the game at the age of 20 after being a very good football player winning 6x U15/U19 Women's League titles with Czech giants Sparta Praha. Injury would halt her football career and would take up Golf and has made strides ever since turning pro in 2020. Kristyna would go to University of St Andrews which she would love her time at the home of golf. In 2022 Kristyna would get an opportunity at Saudi Ladies International which she would grab with open arms finishing T2nd in Saudi a fantastic achievement in a high calibre field. 2023 would see the talented Czech win her maiden LET title at G&CC Seddiner See for German Masters where she would defeat Cara Gainer in a playoff. At the back end of 2023 would see a 4th at La Sella Open and 6th at Mallorca Ladies Open. By her own admission it has been a tough time in spells with swing changes and trying to get back to her 2023 form.  It was great to chat with Kristyna, had a lot of fun with this one!

Host Diana Korte speaks with military historian Phillips Payson O'Brien, author of 5 books, whose newest title is “WAR AND POWER. Who Wins Wars And Why.”           He is an American professor of strategic studies at the University of St Andrews in Scotland and known for his work on 20th and 21st-century conflict, war, and politics.           His groundbreaking book reveals that military might alone is an incomplete and often misleading measure of power. Instead, he argues that victory in war is rooted in a far broader spectrum of forces: economic strength, technological innovation, political leadership, societal resilience, and alliance-building.   Phillips's Newsletter,”  his popular Substack, has frequent updates about the war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, don't forget to follow Booktalk so you never miss an episode.

Not for the first time, the Old Course at St Andrews is set to undergo a raft of changes ahead of The Open's return to golf's hometown in 2027 - but is this a case of evolution or revolution?

Yesterday I learned that William Lane Craig is an atheist. I was very saddened to learn that Craig has lost his faith. According to Time Magazine, Craig is one of the most influential living philosophers. As many of you know, Craig is also one of the most influential living evangelists. So today, unfortunately, we need to talk about Craig's atheism. CreditsHost: R.T. Mullins (PhD, University of St Andrews; Dr. Habil.

Si tous les trous de golf ont la même taille, ce n'est pas un hasard, mais le résultat d'une normalisation historique née au XIXᵉ siècle en Écosse, berceau du golf moderne. Aujourd'hui, chaque trou sur un parcours officiel mesure exactement 10,8 centimètres de diamètre, soit 4,25 pouces. Cette dimension, universellement adoptée, remonte à un incident tout à fait fortuit, devenu ensuite une règle mondiale.Au milieu du XIXᵉ siècle, les terrains de golf écossais n'avaient pas de standard précis. Chaque club creusait ses trous « à la main », avec des diamètres variables selon la pelle ou le goût du jardinier. Tout change en 1829, sur le célèbre parcours de St Andrews, considéré comme la « Mecque du golf ». Cette année-là, les jardiniers du club décident d'utiliser pour la première fois un tuyau métallique afin de découper les trous de manière plus nette et régulière dans le gazon. Par hasard, le tuyau mesurait 4,25 pouces de diamètre. Le résultat était si propre et pratique que le club adopta cette dimension de façon permanente.Pendant plusieurs décennies, chaque terrain continuait toutefois à faire « à sa manière ». Mais lorsque les fédérations se sont formées pour unifier les règles — d'abord le Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R&A) en 1891, puis l'United States Golf Association (USGA) —, elles ont décidé de fixer officiellement la taille du trou à 4,25 pouces de diamètre et 4 pouces de profondeur. L'idée était simple : garantir que tous les parcours du monde soient comparables et que les golfeurs jouent selon les mêmes conditions, quelle que soit leur localisation.D'un point de vue pratique, cette taille s'est révélée idéale. Un trou plus petit rendrait le putting quasi impossible, tandis qu'un trou plus grand réduirait le défi du jeu. Avec 10,8 centimètres, on obtient un équilibre parfait entre difficulté, précision et faisabilité technique. C'est aussi une dimension qui s'accorde avec la taille de la balle (4,27 cm de diamètre) : elle laisse juste assez de marge pour un putt réussi, mais exige une grande précision.Ainsi, derrière cette mesure millimétrée se cache une histoire de hasard devenu tradition. Le tuyau utilisé à St Andrews il y a près de deux siècles a, sans le savoir, figé pour toujours l'un des standards les plus emblématiques du sport mondial. Comme souvent dans l'histoire du golf, la légende s'est transformée en règle — et la règle, en symbole d'élégance et de rigueur. Hébergé par Acast.

It is the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. We have 4 big questions that we want to debate. Was the Council of Nicaea a good thing for Christianity? Is Nicene theology coherent? Is Nicene theology consistent with the Bible? Then, finally, should Nicene Theology be binding for Christians today? Naturally, we will start with the first question.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has just reemerged in a major way after a relatively quiet period and the past few days have seen a swirl of headlines and speculation about both his business and personal life. According to multiple outlets including People and RTÉ, Bieber surprised fans by filming an impromptu music video in Dundee, Scotland for his new single Bad Honey. The video, which captures him wandering around an empty local pub called Abandon Ship while drinking beer and reflecting alongside a mirror with the phrase Not everything sucks, has already racked up over 120,000 likes on his Instagram. The surprise drop is part of Bieber's broader return to music following a four year break. Bad Honey is from his latest album Swag II, which along with its prequel Swag, signals not just new music but reportedly a new era for Bieber in terms of style and tone. The video was shot by his longtime collaborator Rory Kramer, with the two reportedly editing it together on a flight home from Scotland. Local bar staff in Dundee described Bieber as kind and down to earth, taking time to chat with employees and guests before filming.Meanwhile, there is major business news. People reports that Bieber and his former manager Scooter Braun have reached a $31.5 million settlement to resolve a financial dispute connected to concert advances and unpaid commissions. This resolves issues stemming from Bieber's 2022 Justice tour and the massive $200 million sale of his music catalog in late 2022, a move initially speculated—per a May 2025 documentary—to be motivated by financial strain after tour cancellations. While neither Bieber nor his representatives have commented directly on this, the financial settlement could mark an inflection point in his business dealings, especially as he moves forward with his seventh album Swag and his new fashion brand SKYLRK, both announced alongside news of his settlement.Bieber has also been photographed enjoying downtime in Scotland, golfing at iconic courses like St Andrews. On social media, there's been buzz both for and against his new material, with Perez Hilton on YouTube describing the new music video as both a bop and cringe-inducing, fueling further debate about Bieber's current state and direction. There is fan interest in his evolving relationship with wife Hailey Bieber after recent reports in People highlighted ongoing challenges but insisted they remain committed to each other, calling each other soulmates. Overall, this week marks Justin Bieber's most significant public and career resurgence this year, set against the backdrop of major personal milestones and business resets.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
