Si vous êtes un fan de la première heure, vous avez déjà écouté le premier épisode de Scandales sur Meghan et Harry, sorti en mars 2022. À l'époque, les Sussex étaient installés en Californie depuis peu, tout le monde s'intéressait au couple qui avait osé claquer la porte de Buckingham Palace, et on ne savait pas trop ce qu'ils allaient devenir… Des héros ou des losers, ou quelque chose entre les deux. Depuis, il s'est passé 4 ans, autrement dit un siècle dans le monde fou fou des célébrités. Elizabeth II est morte, le prince Charles a été couronné roi, Meghan et Harry ont fait des annonces pharaoniques et signé de juteux contrats, Harry a sorti son livre explosif, Kate a annoncé son cancer… Et on peut se dire que c'est un bon moment pour répondre à cette question : que sont-ils devenus, ou que ne sont-ils pas devenus d'ailleurs ? Comment sont-ils tombés dans les limbes de la détestation des Britanniques et dans quelle mesure ont-ils même fini par saouler les Américains ? Et enfin, l'interrogation ultime : Harry pourrait-il finir par revenir au Royaume-Uni, comme certains le prédisent déjà ? Au micro de Scandales ce succèdent :Elizabeth Holmes, journaliste américaine basée à Los AngelesMarc Roche, journaliste spécialiste de la famille royale britannique et auteur de Ma vie chez les WindsorNicole Prieur, psychologue spécialiste des relations familiales. Scandales est un podcast de Madame Figaro, écrit et présenté par Marion Galy-Ramounot, et produit par Lucile Rousseau-Garcia. Fanny Sauveplane a été chargée d'enquête.

Anil Seth is a professor of cognitive and computational neuroscience at the University of Sussex and one of the world's leading researchers on consciousness. His central claim is both unsettling and liberating: we do not passively receive reality, we actively generate it. The world that appears when you open your eyes is not a transparent window onto what is actually out there. It is the brain's best guess, a controlled hallucination, built from the inside out.What We Dive Into:1. Your brain is not reading out the world like a camera. It is making constant predictions about what is out there and updating them with sensory signals. What you perceive is much more a product of those internal predictions than of the raw sensory data coming in. In that sense, all perception is a form of hallucination, just one that happens to be grounded in reality.2. Just as the brain generates a model of the external world, it generates a model of the self. The feeling of being a continuous, stable "I" is another best guess, not a fixed essence waiting to be discovered. This is both humbling and freeing, because a constructed self can be examined and updated in ways a fixed one cannot.3. As AI systems grow more sophisticated, they will increasingly appear to have inner lives. Anil draws a sharp line between intelligence and consciousness, arguing that current AI lacks the biological, embodied, self-regulating properties that we believe underlie genuine experience. Confusing performance for presence is not just a philosophical error. It shapes regulation, design, and how we treat these systems.Know Thyself, but not by yourself.

Neil Lanctot details the March 1916 sinking of the Sussex, which caused more American deaths and pushed Wilson to the brink of war. German Ambassador Johann von Bernstorff worked desperately to maintain peace, recognizing that American entry would doom Germany, while Wilson largely ignored his own ambassadors in London and Berlin, whom he considered useless or biased. Interestingly, the Wilson administration used wiretaps to monitor the German embassy, revealing Bernstorff's personal affairs and diplomatic strategies. In Berlin, leaders distrusted Wilson, viewing him as leaning toward the Allies, while British leaders like Lloyd George were frustrated by American neutrality. Domestically, TR's rage at Wilson's "holding back" reached a boiling point, leading him to use vulgar language toward the President during private meetings with Republican financiers. Meanwhile, militant pacifist Rosika Schwimmer, who had initially drawn Henry Ford into the peace movement, was marginalized as the movement became increasingly fragmented and impractical. (5)1914
Neil Lanctot recounts the June 1916 Republican convention, which nominated Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes as a compromise candidate to block TR and save the party. TR, realizing he lacked sufficient support, made the difficult decision to decline the Progressive Party's nomination and support Hughes to prevent a Democratic victory. The campaign was marked by Hughes' lackluster style and Wilson's clever political maneuvering. A central issue was women's suffrage; Hughes eventually supported a federal amendment, while Wilson cautiously argued for a state-by-state approach to avoid alienating his base. Despite threats from suffrage groups to campaign against him, Wilson maintained support in many suffrage states. The election largely hinged on the European war, with Wilson campaigning on the idea that he had "kept us out of war." However, the peace was fragile, as the German submarine threat remained quiet only because they had temporarily backed down after the Sussex incident. (6)1914 Federal Reserve

July 2026Lord Asa Briggs – the Keighley-born historian of the Victorian age and of broadcasting, served most prominently as vice-chancellor of the University of Sussex and later Chancellor of the Open University. He was one of Britain's most influential public intellectuals of the 20th Century. Less well known, however, is the formative period he spent at Bletchley Park between 1943 and 1945.Arriving somewhat after the time of pioneering codebreaking, Asa found a mature Hut 6 working efficiently and at scale. His insights into the work, as well as the social life at Bletchley Park, documented through contemporary diaries and letters as well as later writing, reveal much about the experience of the rank and file codebreakers in the Bletchley Park ‘intelligence factory'.Bletchley Park's Research Officer, Dr Thomas Cheetham, is joined by Adam Sisman, author of ‘The Indefatigable Asa Briggs', to focus on the life of this era-defining figure.This episode is interspersed with an interview we recorded with Lord Briggs on one of his last visits to Bletchley Park.©Bletchley Park Trust 2026#BPark, #Bletchleypark, #WW2, #Enigma, #Codebreaker,
Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el cirujano neozelandés Archibald McIndoe fue destinado al Queen Victoria Hospital en East Grinstead, Sussex, para tratar a los pilotos de la RAF con quemaduras graves en el rostro y las manos. McIndoe no solo reconstruyó cuerpos con técnicas quirúrgicas pioneras; creó una comunidad donde los pacientes eran tratados como personas íntegras: salían al pueblo local, eran presentados a las familias del lugar, participaban de la vida normal. Los habitantes de East Grinstead llegaron a conocerse como “El pueblo que no miraba”. Aquel pequeño entorno transformó para siempre el estándar de atención médica humanizada. El Señor Jesús trabajó con doce personas. No con multitudes permanentes, sino con un grupo pequeño al que formó profundamente y al que confió el inicio de Su obra en el mundo. La fe que transforma al mundo rara vez comienza en estadios; comienza en grupos pequeños donde hay amor real y compromiso genuino. Por tanto, invierte en las relaciones cercanas con la misma seriedad con que persigues los propósitos grandes. El impacto que Dios multiplica suele empezar en lo íntimo. La Biblia dice en Mateo 18:20: "Porque donde están dos o tres congregados en mi nombre, allí estoy yo en medio de ellos". (RV1960).

July is on course to be the driest in Wales for almost 190 years. It means that North Wales and the Upper Severn catchment are the first areas in the UK to be declared officially in drought, this year. So far this month they've seen less than two per cent of the usual rainfall. Natural Resources Wales says river levels are approaching all time lows after a series of back-to-back heatwaves, with impacts on wildlife and soil. In South East England, Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight have been moved into 'prolonged dry weather' status which is one step away from drought. That won't be news to farmers and growers in the area where some veg businesses are already investing to adapt to the 'new normal'. Barfoots grow broccoli and sweetcorn, amongst a long list of crops, for the supermarkets. The company's spent a million pounds on a new reservoir, at its farm near Chichester, which holds 28 million gallons of rain water supplemented by recycled treated water from their factory. Barfoots Commercial Director tells us the company is looking at building more reservoirs to store winter rainfall, to use in increasingly hot and dry summers.Farmers have a crucial role in cleaning up one of the UK's most polluted river systems and could save themselves money in the process, according to a new study. The eastern and western Cleddau rivers in Pembrokeshire flow through farmland which produces as much as 25% of Wales' milk. Researchers from Lancaster University found the area's farms were buying in more fertiliser and processed animal feed than needed, causing a build-up of phosphorus in the soil and polluting waterways. Now dairy farmers are working out their "nutrient footprint" to help tackle the problem.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling
This week, Ed Halliwell guides us through a practice to be with the inevitable moment-to-moment uncertainty of life.

This does not mean that our thoughts or feelings don't matter, or that we need to fix or control them; it only means that we can have more freedom when we don't get too attached or mistake a moment or a season for who we are.

What if selling more cars didn't mean working MORE hours? In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with Kevin Rudolph, an automotive sales professional who has sold more than 60 vehicles in a single month while working only four days a week! "Selling cars nowadays is about being part of the community more than it is about sitting by your desk and making phone calls." - Kevin Rudolph But Kevin's success is not built on chasing leads, discounting vehicles, or living at the dealership. It comes from something far more powerful: becoming deeply connected to the people and organizations within his community. Kevin shares how building an authentic personal brand, supporting local causes, and creating meaningful relationships helped him develop a business where customers no longer feel like transactions. They feel like family. "I don't WANT to write a $5,000 check. But now you just literally got yourself into the most loyal customer base there is!" - Kevin Rudolph Sean and Kevin explore what it truly means to become the "mayor of your community," why generosity can become one of the strongest drivers of long-term sales success, and how automotive professionals can create more opportunities without sacrificing their personal lives. "Stock the pond with the fish you want to catch." - Kevin Rudolph This conversation will challenge the traditional dealership grind and reveal why the most valuable relationships are often built far beyond the showroom floor. Key Takeaways: ✅ Community Involvement: Establish deep connections through community service and support, fostering a reliable and loyal customer base. ✅ Personal Branding: Create a memorable and trustworthy personal brand that resonates with your community, encapsulated by Kevin's "Ride with Rudolph." ✅ Work-Life Balance: Adopt strategies that allow a fulfilling work-life balance while maintaining high sales volume, like working four days a week. ✅ Relationship-Driven Sales: Focus on building lasting relationships with customers, leveraging these for high sales without resorting to hard selling. ✅ Innovative Networking: Engage with local institutions such as schools and fire departments to become a recognized and valued community member. About Kevin RudolphKevin Rudolph is a seasoned automotive sales professional known for his remarkable ability to sell over 60 cars in a month. With a deep-rooted background in the community as a humane law enforcement officer and a volunteer first responder, Kevin leverages his extensive community connections to fuel his successful career at Royal Buick GMC in Sussex, New Jersey. He actively engages in community service initiatives, establishing himself as a prominent figure in the local area, synonymous with trust and reliability. Unleashing the Power of Community to Sell Cars and Build Loyalty In the ever-evolving world of car sales, there's an emerging philosophy that redefines how success is cultivated. Kevin Rudolph, with his record-breaking achievements in car sales from a small dealership in Sussex, New Jersey, underscores a profound shift from conventional selling tactics to community-driven, relationship-centric approaches. His narrative exemplifies the transformative power of engagement, personal branding, and strategic community involvement in creating a loyal customer base and redefining sales success. Key Takeaways Community Engagement is Crucial: Connecting with diverse local organizations and causes fosters robust relationships and boosts business growth. Personal Branding is Vital: Building a unique personal brand can significantly impact your sales career, highlighting distinctiveness and expertise. Work Smarter, Not Harder: Discarding the 'grind' mentality in favor of strategic, community-oriented work boosts both sales and life quality. Immersing in Community for Sales Success Building Local Trust and Loyalty Kevin Rudolph's strategy of embedding himself within the community revolutionizes traditional car sales methods. By partnering with local organizations, such as first responders and charitable events, he not only cultivates trust but also ensures repeated business and referrals. He explains, "Selling cars nowadays is about being part of the community more than it is by sitting by your desk and making phone calls." Creating symbiotic relationships with local entities like fire departments and youth sports leagues not only garners loyalty but also establishes a brand synonymous with community care and support. For example, his innovative program of donating $20 per car sold to a local fire department epitomizes a strategy that benefits both the dealership and the community. His efforts highlight, "Proper ad spend when it comes to things like that… is better than anything because… now I'm their walking, talking billboard." The broader implication is clear: integrating into the community creates a positive feedback loop. Such involvement not only enhances brand awareness but also makes the business an integral part of the local fabric, leading to sustained growth and loyalty. The Power of Personal Branding in Automotive Sales Making a Name for Yourself Creating a powerful personal brand is crucial for distinguishing oneself in any field, particularly in car sales. Kevin Rudolph's "Ride with Rudolph" campaign serves as a successful model of combining personal identity with business goals. His brand capitalizes on his unique name, making it memorable and distinguished in the crowded marketplace. As Rudolph shares, leveraging one's personal narrative and strengths can lead to substantive career achievements, helping transform sales encounters into meaningful relationships. He asserts, "Create a brand that is personal to you… and then you have to live, breathe, and be that brand." In the broader landscape, personal branding presents pronounced benefits in enhancing visibility, establishing authority, and crafting a niche audience. It pushes sales professionals beyond the daily grind, allowing them to connect more personally with customers and inspire trust and reliability. Strategic Networking and Public Engagement Creating Events that Foster Connections A key element in Kevin's strategy is leveraging strategic community events and partnerships to amplify outreach and build a robust referral network. By organizing car seat safety checks and sponsoring sports teams, Rudolph intertwines everyday business operations with public service and engagement. For instance, Kevin's involvement with the local prevention and counseling center demonstrates how aligning business interests with community needs can drive remarkable outcomes. He positions this involvement within his broader brand strategy — attending events and providing tangible support. "You have to be present at these events, whether it's your high school basketball team or whether it's your whole youth sports league administration side," Kevin emphasizes. This tactic reinforces the potential impact of proactive networking and establishing oneself as a community leader. It highlights that successful sales are less about selling products and more about building relationships, trust, and brand loyalty through meaningful interactions. Reflections on Success Beyond Conventional Sales Car sales, often perceived as a transactional business, is undergoing a transformation driven by relationship-building and community immersion. Kevin Rudolph's journey magnifies how adopting a community-focused ethos, coupled with strategic personal branding, reshapes traditional approaches. Rudolph demonstrates that success can be achieved without compromising personal satisfaction, balance, and genuine community impact. His insights are a clarion call for sales professionals to rethink their strategies, emphasizing that empowering connections and purposeful brand building can yield both personal and professional fulfillment. Through civic engagement and strategic outreach, Kevin exemplifies a business model that is as profitable as it is personally rewarding, forging a path for continued success in the dynamic world of car sales.

On July 3, 1969, Brian Jones — the brilliant but troubled founding member of The Rolling Stones who helped shape the band's early sound through his adventurous blend of blues, rock, and world music influences — died at his home in Sussex, England at the age of 27. At the time of his death, Jones had only recently been dismissed from the band he created, as years of substance abuse, legal troubles, and growing tensions with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had left him increasingly isolated from the group's creative direction. More than half a century later, Brian Jones -- who tragically became a member of the so-called "27 Club" when he died -- remains one of rock's most enigmatic pioneers, a gifted musician whose restless experimentation helped launch one of the greatest bands in history.

In this episode of KickBack, host Professor Liz David-Barrett is joined by Robert Barrington, Professor of Anti-Corruption Practice at the University of Sussex's Centre for the Study of Corruption, to discuss his recently published book ‘Corrupted Kingdom: Britain's Disappearing Integrity – And How We Can Get It Back'. The conversation explores the state of corruption in the UK and why a country often viewed as a model of good governance has experienced a significant decline in public integrity. Barrington reflects on his professional journey from historian and anti-corruption practitioner to academic, explaining how his work in the field shaped his understanding of corruption and institutional weaknesses. He discusses key ideas from his book, including “moral exceptionalism,” the “reverse Big Bang,” and how Britain's confidence in its reputation as a clean country has limited recognition of domestic corruption risks. The discussion examines vulnerabilities in local government, failures of accountability in major public scandals such as Grenfell Tower, and the role of institutions and “influencing sectors” in promoting integrity. Barrington describes the UK's fragmented anti-corruption framework as a “blindfold orchestra” that requires better coordination and leadership. He also shares insights into his favourite authors and highlights the importance of transparency, strong safeguards, and political commitment in rebuilding trust in public institutions.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: August 20, 2020Weird Darkness returns with a night of urban legend, found-footage horror, and classic vampire fiction, moving from a South American death-spirit to a stack of home videos that shouldn't exist to an English village with a very sociable widow.It opens with "The White Death" by Christina Skelton, told by a narrator sitting at his computer waiting to die. A friend's aunt, drunk the night before, finally explained how the boy's parents had died: they were doing mission work in a small South American country when a terrified man burst into the mission hospital claiming a Muerta blanca — the White Death, the White Devil Girl — had killed his sister and was coming for him. She was a girl with dead black eyes that wept bile, who moved without moving her legs, and who knocked on the doors and mirrors between her and her victim: once for the skin she uses to patch her own rotting flesh, twice for the muscle, three times for bones she carves into knives, four for the heart she wears around her neck, and on through the teeth, the eyes, and finally the soul. She can only find you if you saw her kill someone, or if someone tells you about her. The missionaries phoned the aunt about it that same night, and were found in the morning skinned and dismembered, their bodies covered in small, child-like handprints. The aunt was murdered the night she told the story, the friend died on the phone while the narrator listened to the door come off its hinges, and now the knocking has started on the narrator's own door — twenty-eight times on the front door, twenty-eight on the hall mirror, twenty-eight on the bedroom door.From there the episode turns to "My Old Home Videos Showed Me a Life I Never Lived" by Richard Saxon, from Creepypasta.com. Adam Davies, thirty-something and unremarkable, digs a box of VHS tapes out of his parents' basement hoping nostalgia will shake loose whatever ambition he lost. The first tape looks like his childhood exactly as he remembers it, except for a dog named Doug he never owned and cannot recall, and except for the ending: a stranger with a camera follows him out of a bar on October 7th, 2006, and films him burning alive in a car wreck. Every tape after it does the same thing. His grandfather dies in 1999 instead of 1993, his first car changes from black to red, and the film always closes on Adam dying while an unspeaking cameraman watches — shot in the throat in an alley in 2002, drowned in a submerged car in 2004, bleeding out at the bottom of a cliff in 2005. His parents deny the tapes exist; their own footage, digitized and locked in a fireproof safe, ends with no deaths at all. Then Adam finds one labeled 1985 to 2021, watches his mother die in a hospital bed on December 17th, 2020, and watches himself open his own arm with a pocket knife in a motel room a month later while the cameraman films. He hands everything to the police, locks his doors, covers his windows — and an hour later his father calls to say his mother has collapsed in the bathroom.The episode closes with Darren narrating E.F. Benson's 1922 vampire tale "Mrs. Amworth", set in the Sussex village of Maxley. Mrs. Amworth, the widow of an Indian civil servant who died at Peshawar, arrives to enliven a sleepy street of Georgian houses with luncheons, piano playing, and games of piquet — charming everyone except Francis Urcombe, a former Cambridge physiology professor who abandoned his chair to study vampirism and the other borderland subjects his colleagues had filed away as superstition. A plague of night-flying gnats bites the villagers on the throat, a gardener's son wastes away with two small punctures on his neck and no inflammation, and Urcombe keeps watch at a twenty-foot-high window where Mrs. Amworth's face appears in the dark. Her maiden name was Chaston — the name on the gravestones in Maxley's disused churchyard, and the name of the woman blamed for an outbreak of vampirism there three centuries earlier. Death does not end her, and the story finishes at dawn in the cemetery with a pick, a shovel, a coil of rope, and a coffin lid slid aside.
Now that it's been decided that 24 Sussex Drive will be restored rather than torn down - what else should change in the area? The authors of a new book on the Prime Minister's official residence say this is a golden opportunity to not just reno the house - but the entire area around it.
Why does something as simple as posting online, sending an email or sharing your work sometimes feel so much bigger than it should?In this solo episode, I'm sharing what I witnessed inside the first round of Brave, my two-week visibility experience, and the powerful pattern I noticed across more than 70 business owners.So many people arrived feeling like they were the problem. Like they were overthinking again, procrastinating again, getting in their own way again, or somehow failing at visibility because it didn't feel easy.But what if visibility feeling hard doesn't mean there's something wrong with you?In this episode, I talk about the mental load that can build around even the smallest visibility actions, why we so often turn that struggle into a personal failing. I share the two things I noticed that seemed to help people move from circling around the thing to finally taking action - and why one of them surprised me more than I expected.If you've ever had a post sitting in drafts, an email you keep putting off, an offer you haven't shared, or a story you know you want to tell but can't quite bring yourself to say out loud, this episode is for you.Because maybe the question isn't, “What's wrong with me?”Maybe there's a much more useful place to start.Listen to this episode if:You've ever felt like visibility should be easier than it is.You find yourself circling around simple actions for far longer than the action itself would take.You're tired of calling yourself inconsistent, flaky or your own worst enemy.You've been doing lots of inner work, but still feel stuck when it comes to showing up.You want a kinder, more useful way to understand why visibility can feel so exposing.Join the waitlist for Brave, my 2-week visibility experience grounded in Positive Psychology:Find out more about my Visibility Retreat in Sussex this September.

Un crâne et une mâchoire découverts dans une carrière du Sussex, et l'Angleterre s'imagine avoir trouvé son ancêtre. Pendant quarante ans, l'homme de Piltdown a régné sur la paléontologie, avant que la science ne révèle… une supercherie.En 1912, une découverte sensationnelle secoue le monde de la paléontologie : un crâne fossile exhumé dans le village de Piltdown, en Angleterre, semble appartenir à l'ancêtre tant recherché de l'homme moderne. Baptisé l'Homme de Piltdown, ce mystérieux spécimen, doté d'un grand front et d'une mâchoire robuste, devient rapidement la pièce maîtresse de la théorie de l'évolution. Pendant près de 40 ans, la communauté scientifique s'enthousiasme pour cette découverte qui comblerait le "chaînon manquant" entre le singe et l'homme.Mais en 1953, des analyses révèlent l'incroyable vérité : l'Homme de Piltdown n'est autre qu'une supercherie élaborée de toutes pièces ! Le crâne s'avère être d'origine médiévale, tandis que la mâchoire appartient en réalité à un orang-outan, astucieusement teinté pour lui donner un aspect ancien.

We were all so hopeful that finally Prince Harry, Meghan and grandchildren Archie and Lilibet might have a royal reunion with King Charles and family at Buckingham Palace this week. Harry’s camp made the announcement that an invitation had been extended, but shortly afterward, the Palace announced that the Duke of Sussex didn’t respond in time to make the necessary staffing accommodations. Harry’s spokesperson suggested it may be the court decision regarding Harry’s lawsuit against the Daily Mail’s publisher that may be the real reason behind the Palace’s about face, not wanting King Charles in an uncomfortable position. Harry arrived solo in London on Monday, and right now, it’s unclear whether Meghan and the kids will join him later in the week outside of London, given security concerns and the government’s unwillingness to provide taxpayer funded security to the Sussexes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January 05, 2022This episode of Weird Darkness opens over the north Atlantic in May 1963, where a NATO English-language secretary based in Paris, flying on a near-empty DC-8 carrying fifty staff from Orly Airport to ministerial meetings in Ottawa, looked from her window and saw a dark grey, torpedo-shaped object six to seven thousand feet below the plane — its rear cut off sharply and squarely, with no wings, windows, or visible propulsion — before it vanished into cloud and the aircraft dropped into violent turbulence. Terrified and certain no one else aboard had noticed, she said nothing for almost twenty years, until a 1980 letter to Flying Saucer Review brought the account to light and the magazine published it the following year. The segment threads her sighting into a longer record of cigar-shaped craft: Melvin Vagle Jr. and his wife spotting a windowed object hovering over a plowed field near Grafton, Nebraska on November 22, 1961; Miss Footner tracking a silver, hundred-foot craft over Saanich Mountain near Victoria, British Columbia in early 1960; Reverend Lionel Browning and his wife photographing a grey mothership over Cressy, Tasmania on October 4, 1960 as smaller discs darted out of the clouds and explosions later shook nearby houses; RCMP Constable James Blackwood watching a cigar-shaped object near Clarenville, Newfoundland on November 26, 1978 mirror his patrol car's flashing lights for nearly two hours; a couple camping at Hexham, New South Wales in late December 1984 seeing discs swarm a lit craft that seemed to carry a helmeted figure; and an anonymous Swedish driver on Route 55 near Orsundsbro in June 1985 stepping out of her car to study a windowed craft she first mistook for a police helicopter.From there the episode crosses to England, where the night of November 16, 1963 brought four teenagers walking home from a dance past Sandling Park near Hythe, Kent face to face with a human-sized, headless creature with wings on its back; seventeen-year-old John Flaxton and eighteen-year-old Mervyn Hutchinson had first watched a bright gold oval descend behind the trees, and Flaxton felt a sudden, unexplained cold as the thing came at them through the woodland. The same evening in Saltwood, Tony Harrison and three companions saw a glowing oval and a figure in a scarlet cloak holding a flickering lantern, and within days John McGoldrick discovered three giant footprints, each roughly two feet long, near the spot where Keith Croucher had reported an identical object over a football field. The story then opens out into a year-long British wave: a flying saucer interfering with a woman's car headlights near Bluebell Hill in Kent; two men setting up a tripod that fired colored lights into the sky over the Britannia Barracks in Norwich; a market researcher named Joelle in Castleton encountering men who claimed to be extraterrestrials with bases on two of Jupiter's moons; and a dome-shaped craft that reportedly landed at RAF Cosford on December 10, washing the base in green light before vanishing. Stranger creatures shared the year — the Surrey Puma and other big cats stalking Shooter's Hill in London from July 18, a half-man, half-horse centaur seen in Sefton Park by witnesses including a police officer, a bulldog-headed monster rising beside two fishermen on Loch Ness, and a dinosaur-like animal that scattered seals along Cardigan Bay and left a half-eaten carcass behind. The episode closes on a darker thread of occult activity: two children found playing with a human skull taken from the ruined St. Mary's Church at Clophill in Bedfordshire, where Maltese crosses, cockerel feathers, and six tampered women's graves were uncovered; six decapitated horse heads and a cow, their jaws wrenched apart, discovered in Bluebell Woods at Caddington; clay effigies pierced with thorns and a sheep's head studded with thirteen thorns nailed up at Castle Rising in Norfolk; and a group of self-styled Devil worshippers interrupted mid-ritual at an active church in Westham, Sussex on December 7 — all set against a 1963 that began with one of the worst winters on record, claimed Labour leader Hugh Gaitskell and the poet Sylvia Plath, saw Ian Brady and Myra Hindley begin the Moors murders, and ended weeks after the assassination of President Kennedy.
Joanne Paul is a historian at the University of Sussex, author, and a go-to Tudor expert on YouTube. She tells Tyler she's drawn to the 16th century because it sits between the medieval and the modern, and because its paths not taken are a way of asking whether our own world had to turn out this way. Her biography Thomas More: A Life takes its subject in that spirit, refusing to reduce More to either martyr or monster. Tyler and Joanne discuss how More influenced Erasmus, what to make of Utopia, why fear drove More's persecution of heretics, how Holbein's portraits of More and Cromwell differ, what movie depictions get wrong about More, how his execution was viewed at the time, how the Tudor period paved the way for Shakespeare and the scientific revolution, the surprising social mobility of the period, how the City of London governed itself and where that clashed with the Crown, Joanne's upbringing in Canada and what drew her to English history, what she thinks sits beneath a lot of Britain's current stagnation, the subject of her next book, and much more.
