Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephen E Ambrose

Three things converged for me recently and at the point of their convergence was the issue of placing women in frontline combat roles. The first leg of the convergence was the election of Donald Trump. We're still debating the reasons why he won, but certainly a reassertion of gender differences are near the top of everyone's list. For example, allowing natal men into women's sports. The second was Trump's nomination of Pete Hesgeth for Secretary of Defense. Hegseth's nomination is controversial for a lot of reasons, but one of the controversies is his opinion that women should not be allowed into front line combat roles.  Finally, I just got done watching the miniseries Band of Brothers, while at the same time re-reading the Stephen E. Ambrose book it's based on. I would highly recommend the exercise (see my review of the book here.) In addition to being enjoyable it reminded me of how physical, grimy, and desperate combat can be. And of course the theme of both the book and the series is that Easy Company was so effective because they had developed strong bonds of brotherhood through the numerous challenges they overcame. These challenges include D-Day, Market Garden, liberating concentration camps, and finally being the first into Hitler's stronghold at Eagle's Nest. But if you were to pick the hardest thing they did, it was probably defending Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. Watching and reading about Bastogne was a sobering experience. It is also the point where the three things I just mentioned crystallized into this line of inquiry. Given that it might be helpful to give you a brief overview of the Siege of Bastogne...

fWotD Episode 2589: Saving Private Ryan Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Thursday, 6 June 2024 is Saving Private Ryan.Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 American epic war film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Robert Rodat. Set in 1944 in France during World War II, it follows a group of soldiers, led by Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks), on their mission to locate Private James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon) and bring him home safely after his three brothers have been killed in action. The cast also includes Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, Barry Pepper, Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel, Adam Goldberg, and Jeremy Davies.Inspired by the books of Stephen E. Ambrose and accounts of casualties among members of a single family such as the Niland brothers, Rodat drafted the script and Paramount Pictures hired him to finish the writing. The project came to the attention of Hanks and Spielberg, whose previous successes secured the project's development. Spielberg wanted to make Saving Private Ryan as authentic as possible, and hired Frank Darabont and Scott Frank to perform uncredited rewrites based on research and interviews with veterans. The main cast went through a week-long boot camp to understand the soldier experience. Filming took place from June to September 1997, on a $65–$70 million budget, almost entirely on location in England and Ireland. The opening Omaha Beach battle was the most demanding scene, costing $12 million to film over four weeks with 1,500 extras.Saving Private Ryan became one of the year's most successful films, earning critical acclaim for its graphic portrayal of combat. WWII veterans described the combat scenes as the most realistic portrayal of their own experiences; some were unable to watch it due to their traumatic memories. The film earned $481.8 million, making it the second-highest-grossing film of 1998, and went on to win many accolades, including Golden Globe, Academy, BAFTA, and Saturn awards.Saving Private Ryan is considered one of the greatest films ever made. Its battle scene filming techniques impacted many subsequent war, action, and superhero films, and numerous directors have cited Saving Private Ryan as an influence. It is credited with helping renew interest in WWII at the turn of the century, inspiring other films, television shows, and video games set during the war. In 2014, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:04 UTC on Thursday, 6 June 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Saving Private Ryan on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Joanna Standard.

On this episode we'll highlight some important leadership and business lessons we can learn from the experiences of Easy Company, as delivered in Stephen E Ambrose's book Band of Brothers. Key Takeaways: Uniting a team under a common purpose helps keep them together. Leaders should be willing to do the things they ask others to do. Learning from historical events and stories can provide valuable perspective. Quotes: "Uniting people, uniting teams under a common enemy and a common purpose helps keep them together." "As a leader, be willing to do the things that you're asking people to do." "Remembering the stories of the men who fought and died in these battles is important for its own sake."

Dr. Steven Herrine is the chair of medical education and professor of medicine here at SKMC at Jefferson and a practicing hepatologist and gastroenterologist. He grew up in NYC and studied math and history at Oberlin College, after which he spent a few years as a chef, and then went to Jefferson medical school, Penn, for IM residency and Jefferson for GI/hepatology, where he has stayed since. He has won multiple awards for teaching, including IM residency teacher of the year, which makes sense because he now runs medical education as the chair here at SKMC. This is a scary interview for me because if I say anything bad, Dr. Herrine can of course, kick me right out of medical school with only a couple months left.

In this installment of the Best of Muscle For Life, you'll hear hand-picked clips from three popular MFL episodes: an interview with Nick, who used my coaching program to lose 19 pounds and 11% body fat in 90 days, a monologue on whether the benefits of deadlifting outweigh its risks, and a book club episode on Band of Brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose.  Some people—my favorite people—listen to most or even all of my podcasts, but my wizbang analytics tell me that while many listeners tune in on a regular basis, they don't catch every installment of Muscle for Life and thus miss out on insights that could help them do at least a little better inside and outside the gym. That's why I do “best of” episodes that contain a few of the most practical and compelling ideas, tips, and moments from the more popular episodes I've published over the years. This way, you can learn interesting insights that you might have otherwise missed and find new episodes of the show to listen to. So, in this installment of The Best of Muscle for Life, you'll be hearing hand-picked morsels from three episodes: How Legion Coaching Helped Nick Lose 19 Pounds & 11% Body Fat In Just 90 Days (Originally published 7/11/2018) Is Deadlifting Worth The Risk? (Originally published 10/25/2021) Book Club: Band of Brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose (Originally published 8/11/2017) And we'll be starting with number one, How Legion Coaching Helped Nick Lose 19 Pounds and 11% Body Fat in Just 90 Days.

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley answer questions from listeners.Questions Covered in This Episode:“Jen, I have heard you at least twice talk about situations where it's ok to lie → I think you used the phrase “truth to whom truth is due” → How does that fit with scriptures' admonitions against lying? You guys are some of the best bible teachers I know so obviously you're not saying to just lie whenever. Please help! Thanks Jen for all the work you do keeping JT and Kyle in line and on track!”“What do you think of the conversations about how we should not refer to ourselves as sinners once we're saved?”Who is having this argument?“JT, if God knew his plan of unconditional election would send the majority of people he created to hell, why did he create man at all?”“What's your best marriage advice?”What do you think of the idea of dating your spouse?“Thoughts on Christians reading apocryphal documents?”“What is your favorite book that you read in 2021, and what books are you reading now?”“How should believers regard secular art/entertainment with obviously biblical themes? I watched Dune this weekend and found it to have a lot of biblical themes. Are all works of art/entertainment just outworkings of the ultimate story of the bible?”“How would you clearly define the gospel?”“My six year old wants to know if we will see the Holy Spirit in heaven?”“JT, what was the title of your PhD thesis and can you summarize it in a few sentences?”“What's the difference between women teaching in the church and pastoring?”“The concept of predestination is really confusing. Could you explain its basic tenets?”“What's your favorite thing about being in ministry?”Best books on church planting?Helpful Definitions:Sinner: One who is separated from God, alienated, fundamentally unrighteous, and in Adam or under the federal headship of Adam.Apocryphal Documents: Noncanonical documents (or books) that are related to the history of stories you might find in the Bible, adjacently, directly or indirectly, that speak to some of the issues of the Jewish people. For example: the intertestamental period, 1 & 2 Maccabees.The Gospel: Life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Christ mean that I am free from sin's penalty, I am being freed from sin's power, and I will one day be free from sin's presence.Predestination: God chose a people for himself (Romans 9, Genesis 12) so that he might receive glory among all peoples, all nations, all tribes, forever.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Exodus 1:15-22, Hebrews 10:14, Romans 9:19-23, John 3:16, 1 Timothy 3 , Titus 1, Genesis 12“Grant” by Ron Chernow“Band of Brothers” HBO Series“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” by Jonathan Safran Foer“Jesus and John Wayne” by Kristin Kobes Du Mez“The Lymond Chronicles” by Dorothy Dunnentt“The Red Rising Series” by Pierce Brown“Live No Lies” by John Mark Comer“Band of Brothers” by Stephen E.

I'm excited about this episode of High Reliability because it centers on a book and miniseries that I consider to be at the top of the book and miniseries chart: Band of Brothers. Band of Brothers is a 2001 American war drama miniseries based on historian Stephen E. Ambrose's 1992 non-fiction book of the same name. It was created by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, who also served as executive producers. The series won Emmy and Golden Globe awards in 2001 for best miniseries. If you have not watched Band of Brothers, put it on your list.The series is a dramatized account of  E-Company, part of the 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, assigned to the United States Army's 101st Airborne Division during World War II. Over ten episodes the series details the company's World War II journey. Starting with jump training at Camp Toccoa, Georgia, in 1942, Band of Brothers follows the unit through the American airborne landings in Normandy and Operation Market Garden, then on to the Siege of Bastogne and The Battle of the Bulge, and through war's end in 1945, including taking Eagle's Nest, which was a Third Reich–era building erected atop a mountain summit and used by Hitler.Band of Brothers chronicles Easy Companies triumphs and tragedies. It shows the men in their humanity. You don't need to have seen Band of Brothers to enjoy this podcast. But if you have seen it, we will apply leadership lessons from WW II to healthcare facilities management in 2021. These leadership lessons are timeless: They are universal.I would like to thank my three guests for their time and research. Like me, they appreciate American history, warts and all, and the lessons that can be learned from history. My guests are:  Thomas Elliott: Director of Facilities, Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, CAGeoff Schuller: Owner, GH Schuller Consulting, Mission Viejo, CA.  Steve Spaanbroek: CEO, MSL Healthcare PartnersThanks for listening. We hope you enjoy it.EndnoteIn addition to the miniseries and the many books chronicling  Easy Company and Major Dick Winters, this YouTube series, Reel History, provides excellent historical context, and when needed, a more accurate picture of the events depicted in Band of Brothers.  As Tom Hanks said," history had to fit into our television screens," meaning a 10-episode series could not completely capture all of the events from 1941-1945. Reel History with Professor Jared Frederick is a great companion piece.

Going through my father's books shortly after he died, I found a copy of Stephen E. Ambrose's Citizen Soldiers, which focuses on the role played by junior officers in the defeat of Germany in World War II. Daddy was one of those junior officers. Every year, as Veteran's Day rolls around, I think about what my father told me about his career as a soldier. And what he kept to himself. When I was young, not yet in my teens, Daddy talked about the war. He told me about cavalry training at Fort Riley, Kansas, where I was born. And...Article Link

In the 200 years since trains first started clattering on the rails, they dramatically changed industry and commerce — and inspired technological innovations that changed the world. But we like them because they're romantic and comfortable, allow us to interact with other travelers, and are the most fun way to get out of town. With the transcontinental railroads, far-flung destinations were connected for the first time. Entire continents were opened up to new trading opportunities, not to mention that people could travel farther and faster than they ever had before. The world got a bit smaller, but also far grander, and a new era in travel was born. Luxury trains like the fabled Orient Express offered the curious and the posh opportunities to see the world in opulent comfort. No wonder there are so many great stories set aboard Pullman cars and steam engines. In this episode, we briefly explore train history and discuss why train travel might just be the best mode of transportation. Then we share five books we love that capture the innovation and adventure of trains around the world. Books that we discuss include: The Lady Vanishes by Ethel Lina White The Edge by Dick Francis The Train Book: The Definitive Visual History by DK Publishing The Woman on the Orient Express by Lindsay Jayne Ashford Nothing Like It In the World: The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad 1863-1869 by Stephen E.

En esta ocasión hablamos con Alberto Venegas sobre cómo la Segunda Guerra Mundial aparece en el mundo de los juegos de mesa y especialmente en los videojuegos. Nos centramos en el enfoque que se vierte desde Estados Unidos. La historia militar tiene su espacio en los videojuegos y en el caso de Estados Unidos y La Segunda Guerra Mundial es claro. Alberto Venegas nos habla sobre el papel que jugó en la gran contienda Estados Unidos y la imagen que expone mediante el cine con película como Salvar al Soldado Ryan y su réplica en el videojuego con la saga Medal Of Honor. Por otro lado, nos haremos eco del impacto en la sociedad que tuvieron autores como Stephen E. Ambrose y las maneras en las que la industria representó la guerra. Analizando la realidad histórica documentada y la ficción cuyo fin es generar en el imaginario colectivo una realidad distorsionada que ensalce el papel del soldado ciudadano. En el segundo tramo del programa contamos con la presencia de Álvaro López Franco, director de la revista Descubrir la Historia. Nuestro invitado se asoma a los micrófonos de El Café de la Lluvia para darnos una primicia. Se trata de un importante cambio en el proyecto que lidera.

In this second half of our interview with Kishore Mahbubani, a former UN ambassador of Singapore, he talks to Kaiser about the perils of American exceptionalism, the poverty of strategic thinking in Washington, and the view of U.S.-China competition from the rest of the world. His latest book, Has China Won? The Chinese Challenge to American Primacy, is a bracing read, unsparing in its criticisms of Chinese and American strategic blunders, and its tough-love approach is sure to rankle. 8:52: Comparing Chinese realities to American ideals15:31: How the outcome of the U.S.-China geopolitical contest will be decided24:49: Strategic thinking regarding the South China Sea37:57: America’s relationships with its alliesRecommendations:Kishore: Rise to Globalism: American Foreign Policy Since 1938, by Stephen E.

O dia D na cultura======================Esta semana dentre todos os muitos dias importantes para a literatura e a cultura em geral, é uma data histórica nos chama atenção.Sim, uma data histórica, pois a História de um povo, de uma nação, da humanidade também faz parte da nossa cultura.A data em questão é o aniversário de 75 anos da maior batalha aerotransportada da história, o chamado dia-D, que aconteceu durante a segunda guerra mundial, numa terça-feira, 06 de junho de 1944.O impacto que esta data teve na história da humanidade é amplo e gigantesco. Alterou, junto com a batalha de Stalingrado, na então União Soviética, o curso da segunda grande guerra pois Estavam sob o poder dos alemães e seus aliados do Eixo, a Polônia, a Áustria, a Dinamarca, a Suécia, a França, a Bélgica, os Países Baixos, Luxemburgo, além de países que aderiram ao Eixo, como Hungria, a Eslováquia e a Romênia. Ou seja, quase todos os países da Europa Ocidental estavam sob o poder da Alemanha nazista e os países do Eixo. Hitler havia invadido a União Soviética e estava em território russo, em outra das maiores batalhas da guerra, em Stalingrado.A virada Aliada se inicia exatamente com a vitória dos russos em Stalingrado e, claro, com a invasão da Normandia no dia-D, que nesta semana completa 75 anos.A Operação Overlord foi o codinome para a Batalha da Normandia, operação que teve início em 6 de junho de 1944, com os desembarques na costa normanda francesa(Operação Netuno, vulgarmente conhecido como Dia-D). Além dos Estados Unidos e da Grã-Bretanha, doze países Aliados enviaram unidades que participaram da invasão, dentre eles Austrália, Canadá, Bélgica, França, Grécia, Nova Zelândia e Noruega.Os Aliados contaram com uma esquadra de 5.000 navios, que transportavam tanto homens quanto veículos, e 5.000 embarações de desembarque. Por ar, 11.000 aeronaves foram utilizadas, tanto para bombardeios quanto para transportar paraquedistas. Ao fim daquele dia 6 de junho, mais de 9.000 soldados aliados estavam mortos ou feridos, mas outros 100.000 haviam tomado a região costeira. Em apenas 5 dias, os soldados em território francês já eram mais de 320.000.Os números são proporcionais à magnitude da operação: cerca de 425.000 soldados aliados e alemães foram mortos, feridos ou desapareceram durante a batalha. Cerca de 200.000 homens foram capturados e feitos prisioneiros pelos Aliados, que abasteceram os campos de prisioneiros a uma taxa de 30.000 homens por mês do Dia D até o Natal de 1944. Estima-se que entre 15.000 e 20.000 civis franceses tenham sido mortos durante a Batalha. Em julho de 1944, cerca de um milhão de soldados aliados, principalmente estadunidenses, britânicos e canadenses, estavam entrincheirados na Normandia.Um evento tão marcante, claro, não poderia deixar de ser tema de livros, filmes, jogos, séries e sua influência na cultura popular é sentida até os dias atuais.Vou deixar algumas indicações de filmes, livros e séries e um recado importante ao final.Alguns grandes filmes foram feitos tendo o dia-D como tema e a segunda guerra como pano de fundo, entre os quais, destaco, “O resgate do soldado Ryan” de 1998, “O mais longo dos dias”de 1962 e Agonia e Glória (The Big Red One, 1980), filmes que fazem referencia à invasão em si, e “O grande ditador”, obra-prima de Chaplin de 1940, “A vida é bela” de 1999, “O pianista”de 2002, “A lista de Schindler” de 1993, “Casablanca”de 1942 e “A queda: as últimas horas de Hitler” de 2004 (entre muitos outros)Entre os livros eu destaco “O dia D, a batalha que salvou a Europa” e “A batalha das Ardenhas” ambos de Antony Beevor, “Memórias da Segunda Guerra Mundial de Churchill” escritas pelo próprio. Dia D: Amanhecer de Heróis, de Nigel Cawthorne. As espiãs do Dia D, de Ken Follett e os livros O Dia D e “Band of Brothers”: companhia de heróis de Stephen E. Ambrose.Entre as séries eu destaco duas: The Pacific e Band of Brothers baseada no livro homônimo. Duas excelentes séries sobre o conflito. Eu assisti e recomendo ambas. O conflito da segunda guerra matou mais de 20 milhões de pessoas. É algo para nunca se esquecer!Portanto, a dica para esta semana é acompanhar as celebrações do dia D pelo mundo curtindo filmes, séries ou livros sobre a segunda grande guerra. Um dos objetivos da história e entender os grandes erros do passado para não mais cometê-los. Conhecer nossa história também é cultura.

Ambrose

In honour of the 25th anniversary of the Stephen E. Ambrose book of the same name, we rewind to 2001 as we review the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers. Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks serve as executive producers, who had collaborated on the 1998 World War II film Saving Private Ryan. Band of Brothers is a dramatized account of “Easy Company”, a part of the 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, assigned to the United States Army’s 101st Airborne Division during World War II. The 10 episode miniseries follows the company during the war, and uses Major Richard Winters (played by Damian Lewis) as the central character, shown working to accomplish the company’s missions and keep his men together and safe. Having said that, the show features a large ensemble cast, with each episode generally focusing on a single character.

If you like war memoirs — and WWII memoirs in particular — then you have to read Band of Brothers. Hell, even if you don’t like war memoirs (or don’t know if you like them) but do like to read about how ordinary people find the courage and capability to do extraordinary things, then you should read it, because Band of Brothers is so much more than a clinical recounting of battles or analysis of soldiering. It’s an inspiring story of how a motley crew of freewheeling young bucks became one of the most elite and effective light infantry units to fight in the European theater, and it follows them from beginning to end, from their grueling basic training to jumping into Normandy on D-Day, holding the line in the Battle of the Bulge, and, in the end, drinking Hitler’s champagne in the Bavarian Alps. Band of Brothers also made me #thankful365 that Hitler had to fight the GI Generation and not our current crop of spineless, self-absorbed, “safe space” Peter Pans and Pams that can’t even stomach the basic realities and responsibilities of adulthood, let alone fighting the Nazi war machine. Methinks the latter would have rather stayed home, smoked a bowl, and spluttered a few “sieg heils”… Want to be notified when my latest book recommendations go live?
