This fiery segment exposes a week of radical shifts—from NYC replacing a Jefferson statue with symbolic art, to a foiled bomb plot by a Trump-deported pedophile, to the Biden-backed Gaza pier sparking outrage. Plus, a deep dive into how U.S. visas are allegedly being used to bring Hamas-aligned activists onto college campuses. The host connects global chaos, media silence, and government complicity in a battle for America's future.

Across two explosive broadcasts, the host lays out a sweeping narrative of cultural erasure, unchecked immigration, and growing radical influence. From the removal of Thomas Jefferson's statue to a foiled terror plot in Brazil, to U.S. college campuses allegedly harboring Hamas sympathizers via student visas, these segments argue that America is under assault—culturally, politically, and ideologically—from within.

Visiting churches might not sound like everyone's idea of a great time. Yet the buildings are stuffed with strange carvings, peculiar graffiti, interesting artwork, and even sassy memorials. These church curiosities tell us a lot about what mattered to people in centuries past. They also preserve folklore, legends, and the beliefs of the congregation. From apotropaic marks scratched onto fonts, to stone guardians on the outer walls, churches are a fascinating repository of folk practices...if you know where to look. That's precisely what we're going to do here, looking at gargoyles, grotesques, graffiti, carvings, and even door knockers.  Let's figure out what they have to do with folklore, and what they tell us about our forebears in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

Dans l'imaginaire contemporain, les statues de l'Antiquité sont souvent perçues comme de froids blocs de marbre immaculé, exposés dans des musées silencieux. Mais la recherche pionnière de l'archéologue danoise Cecilie Brøns révèle une réalité bien différente : dans l'Antiquité, les statues étaient colorées, habillées, ornées de bijoux… et parfumées. Cette découverte, publiée en 2025, réinscrit l'art antique dans une expérience sensorielle globale, où l'odorat tenait un rôle central.Le parfum comme offrande divineL'usage du parfum dans l'Antiquité ne se limitait pas à la toilette personnelle ou à la séduction. Il s'agissait aussi d'un acte religieux, un moyen de rendre hommage aux dieux. Dans les sanctuaires, les prêtres et prêtresses oignaient les statues sacrées avec des huiles aromatiques coûteuses : essence de rose, de myrrhe, de nard ou de cannelle, souvent mélangées à de l'huile d'olive ou à de la cire d'abeille. À Délos, des documents comptables mentionnent les sommes importantes dépensées pour parfumer les effigies d'Artémis ou d'Apollon, preuve de l'importance de cette pratique.Ces rituels n'étaient pas uniquement symboliques.

Le parfum, volatil et invisible, servait de pont entre le monde humain et le monde divin.Une esthétique du vivantAu-delà du rituel, parfumer les statues contribuait à leur donner une présence vivante. Comme le rappelle Cecilie Brøns, ces effigies n'étaient pas conçues pour être contemplées dans un silence muséal : elles étaient exposées dans des temples animés, au milieu des chants, des prières, des fumées d'encens et… des odeurs.Certaines statues étaient même mobiles : montées sur des chars ou portées en procession, elles étaient lavées, habillées, décorées de guirlandes florales et abondamment parfumées lors des grandes fêtes religieuses. On retrouve cette pratique lors des Floralia romaines ou des Panathénées à Athènes, où les effigies de divinités participaient activement à la vie collective.Un art multisensoriel à redécouvrirEn restituant l'usage des parfums, la recherche de Cecilie Brøns invite à repenser radicalement notre rapport à l'art antique. Ces œuvres n'étaient pas seulement visuelles : elles engageaient tous les sens, dans une esthétique du sacré incarné. Le marbre n'était pas froid, il était chaud de vie.

From Cape Town to Bristol and Richmond, statues have become sites of resistance and contestation of our imperial past and postcolonial present. The Psychic Lives of Statues by Rahul Rao offers an insightful exploration of these global controversies, demonstrating that beneath their surface lie deeper struggles over race, caste, and the politics of decolonisation. Rao takes readers on a journey through South Africa, England, the US, Ghana, India, Australia, and Scotland, revealing how statue controversies have dramatically rearranged the canon of anticolonial political thought. By examining these debates through a personal and literary lens, Rao addresses the multifaceted issues of justice, cultural memory, and belonging. The Psychic Lives of Statues (Pluto Press, 2025) examines both the toppling of colonial statues and the raising of postcolonial ones, demonstrating that the statue form as a medium of representation and a bid for immortality is by no means obsolete. Engaging with artists, scholars, and activists, Rao provides fresh perspectives on how societies grapple with and reinterpret the past and present through iconography. About the Author:  Rahul Rao is a Reader in International Political Thought in the School of International Relations at the University of St Andrews, and Professorial Research Associate at SOAS University of London. He is the author of two books – Third World Protest: Between Home and the World (2010) and Out of Time: The Queer Politics of Postcoloniality (2020), both published by Oxford University Press.

This week we look at the earthquake risks in different parts of France after the city of Nice and the surrounding area was recently shaken by a 4.1 magnitude tremor. Scientists say France should expect a big quake one day, but do we know where and when?We also wade into a new transatlantic war of words over the Statue of Liberty and look at what else France has given the United States over the years.We explain a new and very innovative plan to combat drought in the south of France and find out when foreigners living here will be able to do most of their admin online like the French are doing more and more with a new digital ID.And we explain how to avoid being scammed and needlessly paying far too much when getting an ETA visa waiver to go the UK, which will be required from next month.Host Ben McPartland is joined today by the dazzling duo from The Local France, Emma Pearson and Gen Mansfield.Useful websitesIn this episode, we reference three websites that you may find useful.To look at the risk of earthquakes and other natural disasters near you, try going to the French government website Géorisques.To keep track of water restrictions in France, use the vigieau.gouv.fr website. And finally for the UK's ETA visa waiver, the genuine site can be found here - look out for the prefix www.gov.uk indicating a genuine UK government websiteFurther reading:MAP: The parts of France most at risk from earthquakesWhere to find France's 12 Statues of LibertyEleven things the French have given AmericaDrought-prone southern France to inaugurate first 'air-to-water' plantWhat is France Identité and can foreigners use it?How to avoid ETA scams for France-UK travelDo Franco-British dual nationals need an ETA to travel to UK?

Lorsque nous pensons à l'art de la Grèce antique, nous imaginons souvent des statues de marbre immaculé, dépouillées de toute couleur. Pourtant, cette vision est une erreur historique largement répandue. En réalité, les statues grecques étaient richement polychromes, peintes de couleurs vives qui ont disparu avec le temps.Une réalité oubliéeL'idée des statues blanches s'est imposée à la Renaissance et au XVIIIe siècle, période où de nombreuses sculptures antiques ont été découvertes à l'état brut, après des siècles d'érosion et de nettoyage intensif. Les artistes et intellectuels de l'époque, comme Winckelmann, ont idéalisé cette blancheur, la considérant comme un signe de pureté et de perfection esthétique. Mais les Grecs anciens voyaient les choses autrement.Des preuves scientifiques indéniablesGrâce aux avancées technologiques, des analyses modernes ont révélé des traces de pigments sur de nombreuses sculptures antiques. En utilisant des techniques comme la luminescence ultraviolette, l'imagerie multispectrale et la spectroscopie Raman, les chercheurs ont identifié des résidus de couleurs comme le bleu égyptien, le rouge ocre, le vert et même de l'or.Des reconstitutions, notamment celles de Vinzenz Brinkmann, montrent à quoi devaient réellement ressembler ces œuvres : des statues éclatantes aux détails peints avec précision. Un exemple célèbre est le kouros de Munich, dont les restes de peinture prouvent l'usage de couleurs vives sur la peau, les cheveux et les vêtements sculptés.Pourquoi cette polychromie ?Pour les Grecs, la couleur avait un rôle crucial dans la sculpture. Elle permettait de rendre les statues plus réalistes, de symboliser le statut social, et même d'exprimer le caractère des divinités. Les temples étaient également peints de couleurs vives, créant un environnement artistique loin de l'image austère que nous avons aujourd'hui.ConclusionL'idée de statues grecques blanches est une construction culturelle née d'une mauvaise interprétation historique. La réalité est bien plus vibrante : les sculptures antiques étaient des œuvres éclatantes, richement décorées. Grâce aux recherches actuelles, nous redécouvrons enfin l'art grec sous son vrai jour, en couleur. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

The Psychic Lives of Statues (Pluto Press, 2025) examines both the toppling of colonial statues and the raising of postcolonial ones, demonstrating that the statue form as a medium of representation and a bid for immortality is by no means obsolete. Engaging with artists, scholars, and activists, Rao provides fresh perspectives on how societies grapple with and reinterpret the past and present through iconography. About the Author:  Rahul Rao is a Reader in International Political Thought in the School of International Relations at the University of St Andrews, and Professorial Research Associate at SOAS University of London. He is the author of two books – Third World Protest: Between Home and the World (2010) and Out of Time: The Queer Politics of Postcoloniality (2020), both published by Oxford University Press. He is a member of the Radical Philosophy editorial collective. About the Host:  Stuti Roy has recently graduated with an MPhil in Modern South Asian Studies from the University of Oxford.

My guest today is Prof. Elizabeth Frood, Associate Professor of Egyptology and Director of the Griffith Institute at the University of Oxford, UK. In a lively discussion, Dr. Frood shares her insights into ancient lives and how people living in the non-royal sphere approached their immortality. Statues, texts and graffiti show us the minds of these people and how they depicted their concerns, beliefs and ideas. It's a great conversation and I think you'll really enjoy it!

Le 14 juillet 1789, la Révolution française débute par la démolition d'un symbole de l'absolutisme royal : la prison de la Bastille. Alors que la monarchie agonise, l'on cherche à renouveler l'espace public par la destruction et le remplacement des symboles de l'Ancien Régime. Statues, monuments à la gloire des rois de France sont la cible de certains révolutionnaires, alors qu'émergent des notions clé, parfois opposées, celle de régénération, de vandalisme et de patrimoine. Pour évoquer ces questions, Virginie Girod reçoit l'historien Loris Chavanette. Spécialiste de la Révolution française, il a consacré plusieurs ouvrages à cette période.
