⚓ Naval Tactics of the Napoleonic Era Explained ⚓Step into the age of sail and discover how naval warfare shaped the fate of empires during the Napoleonic Wars. In this episode, special guest and author Joshua Meeks will break down the key tactics, strategies, and innovations used by legendary commanders like Admiral Nelson.From the devastating effectiveness of the “line of battle” to bold maneuvers like breaking the enemy line at the Battle of Trafalgar, you'll learn how discipline, signaling, and seamanship determined victory on the high seas.
Live from Dr Johnson's House off Fleet Street in London, in this episode the biographer and historian Paul O'Keeffe takes us on an immersive dive into the year 1806. This was a time when both the British and the French attempted to come to terms with the fall out of the Battle of Trafalgar. News of Trafalgar was received in Britain with great ambivalence. The sheer scale of the victory was thrilling, but it was marred by the death of Admiral Nelson. King George III reflected the national mood when he declared that it was a victory that had been bought at too dear a price. While Britons buried Nelson and set about commemorating the battle, in France there would be ramifications of a rather different kind of Admiral Villeneuve – whose strange death is described by O'Keeffe as 'either a murder of an extremely tenacious suicide'. Our thanks to Min Kym for the music, the fine folk at Dr Johnson's House for all the support and for everyone who came along to an enjoyable night. The scenes, characters and storylines in this episode of Travels Through Time all feature in Paul O'Keeffe's book, Trafalgar: Battle and Aftermath. Show Notes Scene One: 9 January 1806. Walking up to St Paul's with the seven sailors of HMS Victory during Nelson's funeral. Scene Two: 22 April 1806. Inside the 'locked room' to solve the mystery of Admiral Villeneuve's death.

Horatio Nelson. Glorious victory. Britain “ruling the waves.” We've all heard the legend — but what if the real story of Trafalgar is far more complicated… and far less heroic… than we've been led to believe?In this episode of History Rage, three-time returning rager Dr Zack White tears apart centuries of patriotic mythmaking to reveal the uncomfortable truths behind Britain's most celebrated naval battle. From propaganda to psychology, from invasion fears to Victorian moralising, Zack makes the case that Trafalgar's fame owes more to storytelling than strategy.Discover why Napoleon had already abandoned his invasion plan before the battle… why Nelson himself was disappointed… why the French and Spanish navies were nowhere near as formidable as we imagine… and how Victorian historians rewrote the whole saga to craft a national legend of heroic sacrifice and divine destiny.This episode is a masterclass in myth-busting — bold, funny, furious and absolutely packed with historical insight.What You'll LearnWhy Trafalgar did NOT end the French invasion threatHow Nelson's death became the backbone of a nation-building mythThe real state of the French and Spanish fleetsHow British naval supremacy was already secured before TrafalgarWhat actually changed the balance of power in the Napoleonic WarsWhy Victorian writers reshaped Nelson's story — and erased the uncomfortable bitsHow propaganda shaped the way Britain remembers its “great men”Why battles like Copenhagen and the Nile mattered just as much — if not moreAbout Our Guest: Dr Zack WhiteDr Zack White is a historian, broadcaster and host of The Napoleonic Wars Podcast, exploring every corner of the era from major battles to the strangest personalities.Follow & Contact Zack:

Is mise Oisín Mac Conamhna.Ta an cogadh idir Iosrael, Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá agus an Iaráin, fós ar siúl. Ainmníodh Mojtaba Khamenei, mac an Ayatollah Ali Khamenei a maraíodh ag tús an chogaidh, mar Ardcheannaire nua na hIaráine Dé Domhnaigh. Gortaíodh é san ionsaí a mharaigh a athair, agus níl sé le feiceáil go poiblí ó shin. Léadh ráiteas in a ainm ar theilifís stáit na hIaráine Déardaoin, inar gheall sé díoltas ar son na nIaránach atá maraithe sa chogadh go dtí seo, agus mhol sé Caolas Hormuz a choiméad dúnta. De ghnáth, bíonn thart ar 25% de tháirgeadh ola an domhain á iompar tríd an gCaolas, agus tá an dúnadh ag ardú phraghas na hola agus ag cur isteach ar gheilleagar an domhain go mór. Mhaígh Khamenei gur ionsaíodh bunscoil i Minab d'aon ghnó, ina maraíodh breis agus céad go leith cailíní óga; tá fianaise láidir go raibh Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá freagrach as an ionsaí. Dúirt Benjamin Netanyahu, príomhaire Iosrael, nach molfadh sé árachas saoil a scríobh ar Khamenei. I Londain Dé Céadaoin, diúltaíodh an t-achomharc a thóg Seirbhís Ionchúisimh na Corónach san Ard- Chúirt i gcoinne an bhreithiúnais go raibh siad as am agus ródhéanach ag cúiseamh Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, an rapálaí mór le rá leis an ngrúpa Kneecap, le cion líomhaintí go raibh sé ag tacú leis an eagraíocht thoirmiscthe Hezbollah ag ceolchoirm in 2024. Dúirt Ó hAnnaidh, a úsáideann an ainm stáitse Mo Chara, gur scór a trí in aghaidh a náid atá ann do Kneecap, agus nach raibh an próiseas uilig faoin sceimhlitheoireacht in aon chur, acht faoin bPalaistín, agus dúirt sé nach mbeidh sé ina thost, nach mbeidh Kneecap ina dtost, agus nach mbeidh muintir Iarthar Bhéal Feirste ina dtost. Dúirt Seirbhís Ionchúisimh na Corónach go nglacann siad leis an mbreithiúnas, agus go ndéanfaidh siad úasdatú ar a próisis dá réir. Ta pobail ar fud Éireann agus an domhain ag ullmhú le Lá Fhéile Pádraig a cheiliúradh, agus beidh both ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain ar Chearnóg Trafalgar ag an bhféile amárach. In Éirinn, ainmníodh Paddy Claffey, an fear is sine sa tír, mar Ard-Mhaor na paráide i gClóirtheach, Contae Uibh Fhailí. Tá Paddy ceithre bliana is céad d'aois, agus ina thuairim tá a shaol fada mar thoradh ar bhia maith, teaghlach maith, agus an aclaíocht a mbaineann le obair chrua.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the accelerating AI Revolution as Jack Dorsey's company Block cuts half its workforce, signaling a major shift in how corporations operate and raising fresh political questions ahead of the midterms. Bryan then turns to Washington, where President Trump's approval rating climbs following the State of the Union while Democrats subpoena the Clintons over Jeffrey Epstein ties. Meanwhile, explosive revelations surface about Biden-era FBI surveillance of Susie Wiles and Kash Patel, a Democrat judge defies the Supreme Court on deportations, and internal fights erupt over ICE hiring, Dreamer deportations, and warehouse detention facilities. The global front remains tense, with China quietly purging over 100 military officers, routing drone shipments to Russia through Thailand, and possibly aiding Iran's missile ambitions. Bryan also addresses listener questions on Iran's nuclear timeline, hypersonic threats to U.S. naval assets, and whether the "one week away" nuclear talking point holds up under scrutiny.

In 1805, an epic confrontation occurred off the southwest coast of Spain, resulting in one of the greatest naval battles in history. This monumental sea battle saw the British and French fleets facing each other in one of the most important conflicts of the Napoleonic Wars. When the smoke cleared, the results left the British as the masters of the seas for over a century and radically changed the course of European geopolitics.

Cornwall, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, was best known for its smuggling. The combination of an insular and impoverished countryside, a rugged coastline characterized by numerous inlets and coves, and price hikes caused by the ongoing wars between Britain and France—played out in high tariffs and embargoes—created the perfect conditions for people desperate to make a living to defy what they saw as an unfair law. Over the years, those same characteristics have appealed to novelists from Daphne du Maurier to the present day. The Sea Child (Ballantine, 2026)—which takes place in an isolated village in Cornwall, although on a river leading to the sea rather than the coastline itself—certainly dips into the long and contentious struggle between Cornish villagers and the British Crown. But at the heart of the story we find Isabel Henley, a young woman who, as a child of four, was plucked from the sea with no knowledge of her parents or her home. Adopted by local landlords, Isabel has grown up, moved away, married a naval man, and, following his death at the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), returned to her childhood village. There she discovers that the legend surrounding her—that she is not entirely human but a daughter of the Sea Bucca, a merman who haunts the waters of the Cornish coast—survives and thrives. Isabel discounts the locals' tale, but she can't deny that the river calls to her as she strolls along its banks at twilight … Linda Wilgus—a former bookseller, knitting pattern designer, and writer of short stories, many of which have been published in literary magazines—lives in Cambridge, England, with her family. The Sea Child is her debut novel. Website here C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels.

Nelson's coffin was placed on a grand funeral car designed to resemble HMS Victory for its final journey to St Paul's Cathedral and subsequently interred in the crypt, joining a small number of national figures accorded this ...
Naval commander Horatio Nelson became the first non-Royal to receive a full British state funeral on 9th January, 1806, when tens of thousands of mourners lined the streets of London to pay tribute to their fallen hero - including, surprisingly, his defeated counterpart, French admiral Pierre-Charles de Villeneuve. The anticipation for the burial was fuelled by the nationalistic fervour that developed during the two months it took from news of Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar to his body arriving back in Britain. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly pick apart ‘Kiss Me Hardy'; explain how it was his earlier success at the Battle of the Nile that cemented his reputation as a household name; and pore over his commemorative funeral merch, from Union flags to anchor earrings… Further Reading: • ‘Nelson's funeral' (Royal Museums Greenwich): https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/nelsons-funeral • 'Horatio Nelson: Britain's Famous Admiral' (The Collector, 2021): https://www.thecollector.com/horatio-nelson-britain-famous-admiral/ • ‘1805: The Battle That Shattered Napoleon's Invasion Plans' (Timeline, 2023): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-po6WQ-wDd0 This episode first aired in 2024 Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week's episode of InteleCast, Donna Nelson tells us what it's like on a familiarisation trip to Peru
In this episode, we explore the comprehensive strategic investments cruise lines are making to dominate global waterways, focusing on simultaneous fleet refinement, massive capacity expansion, and entry into highly competitive markets.We look at how Princess Cruises is maintaining a competitive edge through targeted revitalization, such as the extensive two-week dry dock of the Sapphire Princess. This refit centered on transforming existing spaces into premium dining venues, including the acclaimed Crown Grill Steakhouse and the new Makoto Ocean Edomae-style sushi venue by Chef Makoto Okuwa. Beyond dining upgrades, this strategy supports targeted market expansion, as the Sapphire Princess prepares for diverse itineraries, culminating in Princess Cruises' most expansive Japan season ever in 2027.Next, we dive into the staggering growth of Viking Cruises, which recently expanded its total fleet to 103 vessels with the addition of nine new river ships. This move underscores Viking's ongoing commitment to tailored, region-specific travel experiences. The new ships, including those purpose-built for Egypt's Nile River (Viking Thoth and Viking Amun), solidify Viking's leadership in vessel count and demonstrate remarkable profitability. Viking's committed orderbook anticipates a total fleet of 135 vessels by 2031.Finally, we examine the strategic shift by Trafalgar, a major guided vacation company, as it makes a decisive entry into the river cruising industry. Trafalgar's expansion reflects a move to meet the rising demand for immersive European journeys. The company plans to debut its first-ever river cruise fleet in 2028, leveraging its decades of guided travel expertise to redefine the luxury river cruising standards with innovative vessel designs and curated shore excursions.We discuss how these three diverse strategies—refinement, capacity growth, and new market entry—reflect the industry's renewed confidence and focus on delivering elevated, experience-driven products across river and ocean segments.

And after a series of depressing topics, maybe we should all just look at photos of curly haired chickens… 5:00pm- Rich continues to take calls—and listeners continue to react to Tuesday's election results. 5:15pm- In a video posted to social media, Nancy Pelosi announced she will not seek reelection in 2026—meaning that next year will be her last as a member of Congress. The former Speaker of the House has served in the House of Representatives since 1987. Despite members of Congress earning $174,000 annually, Pelosi—according to most estimates—has amassed a net worth of over $200 million. 5:30pm- Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in a case that will determine the legality of President Donald Trump's unilateral adoption of global tariffs. The court seems skeptical of the Trump administration's argument—with Justice Neil Gorsuch asking U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer if, hypothetically, a president could impose a 50% tariff on gas powered vehicles to address the threat of climate change? 5:45pm- Would you buy a humanoid robot to help around the house with chores like folding laundry and loading the dishwasher? 1x Technologies has introduced a personal robot named Neo—measuring 5'6”, weighing 66 pounds, and capable of lifting up to 55 pounds! 6:05pm- Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that Tuesday's election results were a “disaster” for Republicans. 6:30pm- While speaking at the American Business Forum in Miami, President Donald Trump unveiled a new nickname for California Governor Gavin Newsom: “Slimy Newscum!” 6:45pm- Rich goes back to the phones to close out the show.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- On Tuesday night, Democrat Mikie Sherrill defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli in their New Jersey gubernatorial race. With more than 95% of the vote reported, Sherrill leads by 13%—56.3 to 43.1%. Prior to election day, most pollsters—including Trafalgar—published data showing the race would be significantly closer. What happened? 3:10pm- Government Shutdown's Impact: Did the Trump administration's decision to halt federal funding for the Gateway Tunnel project between New Jersey and New York help Mikie Sherrill win? 3:15pm- Despite winning her race to become the next governor of New Jersey less than 48-hours ago, is Mikie Sherrill already planning for a White House run in 2028? 3:30pm- Listeners call in and react to Tuesday's election results. 3:40pm- Rich notes that the American education system no longer teaches the history of communism—and the disastrous consequences for societies that embrace it. Accordingly, young Americans are becoming more and more sympathetic to the ideology.
The new year is coming at us fast: 2026, here we come! At this time of year the reports and articles about travel trends are rife, and I like to look through them all and see what might be happening in tourism and whether or not I like it (by which I mean, of course, does it fit with a thoughtful travel ethos?). In this episode, I take you through some of the key trends identified by numerous players in the travel industry and also figure out which destinations are being predicted most often as being 2026 hotspots. I also chat with some experts, starting with Brett Mitchell, Managing Director of Intrepid Travel for Australia and New Zealand, who describes key trends Intrepid has identified and discusses their annual "Not Hot" list. I then chat with Melanie Fish, Vice President of Global PR for the Expedia Group, who explains how their "Unpack 26" study has included a new feature this year which I particularly like.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (11/05/2025): 3:05pm- On Tuesday night, Democrat Mikie Sherrill defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli in their New Jersey gubernatorial race. With 95% of the vote reported, Sherrill leads by 13%—56.2 to 43.2%. Prior to election day, most pollsters—including Trafalgar—published data showing the race would be significantly closer. What happened? Is NJ, simply put, just a blue state? Did President Donald Trump's absence from the ticket depress Republican turnout? 3:30pm-Listeners call into the show and voice their frustrations with last night's results. One caller notes that Democrats managed to get 60% of their voters to the polls—but Republicans managed a mere 54%. Is New Jersey now east coast California, as one listener suggests? 3:40pm- Rich continues to take calls—with a listener explaining that she knew NJ was progressive, but she had no idea the state was THIS deep blue. Others said they are still “stunned” by the results. Plus, people are disappointed that Larry Krasner won another term as district attorney of Philadelphia. What were voters thinking? 4:05pm- Rich keeps the phone lines open. Was candidate quality an issue? Unlikely. Jack Ciattarelli won all 21 counties across the state of New Jersey during the Republican primary. Why did 30% of Republican voters who cast their ballots for Trump in 2024 not show up? 4:10pm- Did the Trump administration's decision to halt federal funding for the Gateway Tunnel project between New Jersey and New York help Mikie Sherrill? Should President Trump have held an in-person rally for Ciattarelli in NJ? Rich notes, if we don't fix the problem now—we're in major trouble heading into the 2026 midterm elections. 4:25pm- A listener points out that young female voters overwhelmingly voted for Mikie Sherrill. Can Republicans reverse this trend? 4:30pm- First, the GOP had to deal with the “Never Trumpers”—but now the Republican Party's biggest problem appears to be the “Only Trumpers,” voters who will only show up to vote if President Donald Trump himself is on the ballot. 5:05pm- On Wednesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders hilariously hijacked a press conference held by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. One listener says Sanders has been “emboldened” by socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in New York City. 5:30pm- Are all Trump voters also Republican voters? One caller suggests that Trump voters are not emotionally invested in the rest of the party—and we shouldn't ever expect them to show up for an election where President Trump's name isn't on the ballot. 5:45pm- Was yesterday the worst polling disaster since 2016? 5:50pm- Following Zohran Mamdani's election win, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said the “Democratic Party cannot last much longer by denying the future” of democratic-socialism. 6:05pm- Rich celebrates his 11th year on 1210 WPHT! 6:10pm- Linda Kerns—Attorney & Pennsylvania Election Integrity Counsel for the Republican National Committee and Donald Trump—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Election Day. Plus, she attempts to cheer up Rich! 6:15pm- In her victory speech, New Jersey governor-elect Mikie Sherrill baselessly accused President Trump of “running a worldwide extortion racket.” 6:30pm- Matt Rooney—Founder of SaveJersey.com, State Director of the America First Policy Institute of New Jersey, & host of The Matt Rooney Show on 1210 WPHT (Saturday's 7pm to 10pm)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Election Day in NJ. Will the Garden State ever become a truly “purple” state? Despite the blowout loss, perhaps there is still reason for optimism long-term.

How did the British fleet prepare for war, on the morning of the Battle of Trafalgar? With the flags of both fleets flying and both Nelson and the French admiral Villeneuve glittering in their uniforms, how did the two fleets finally collide?

And, cornered by three enemy ships, what would be the fate of Nelson aboard his Victory…? Join Dominic and Tom as they reach the glorious, tragic climax of their epic voyage through the life and battles of Horatio Nelson, at the height of the Napoleonic Wars. _______ Start generating your own greener electricity for less, with £500 off Solar.

We're just about a week out from Election Day, and I have to say, this is what I live for. These are the kind of stories that really scratch the itch for anybody who loves the game of politics as much as I do. We've got real contests, real dollars behind them, and actual electoral stakes. Yes, I know it's not a presidential year, but this is the sandbox where some serious groundwork gets laid. And for as much as I hate the off-off-year calendar, I love election season more than anything. Here's my breakdown of where I think the chips are going to fall in November.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Starting in California, we've got Prop 50. Gavin Newsom has staked a big chunk of political capital on this one. It's pitched as a pushback on Republican redistricting, with the messaging ultimately landing on “protecting America from Trump.” What started off messy got refined quickly, and with Newsom's team sticking the landing, I see a 10 to 15 point win. McCarthy was supposed to pour in $100 million to fight it, but as of now, the actual spending is suspiciously light. All that adds up to a clear Democratic win.Now onto Virginia: Winsome Earl Sears vs. Abigail Spanberger. I'm heading up to D.C. this weekend, and originally thought I'd be bouncing around Virginia to catch campaign stops. But Sears? She's nowhere to be found. Spanberger, while not the most electrifying candidate, has managed to avoid major blunders post-Jay Jones scandal. The polling tells a consistent story; Spanberger holding a lead that's grown since the scandal broke. I'm calling it Spanberger by eight. Could be tighter, but it's hard to see Sears overcoming the fundamentals working against her.As for Jay Jones, man, what a collapse. DUI, community service for his own super PAC, and leaked texts about shooting a rival politician? That's how you lose an election. Miyares hasn't trailed since that story broke. Nate Silver might be holding out hope, pointing to early voting and ticket-splitting, but my money's on Miyares by one. A close one, but still a loss for Jones. This scandal made a difference, period.New Yorkers better get ready for Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He hasn't been behind at all in public polling, all while Cuomo is clawing for relevance. Meanwhile, Curtis Sliwa isn't pulling enough Republican support to matter to anyone but Cuomo. The energy just isn't there for a last-minute surprise. Mamdani by 13.And then there's New Jersey. The Mikie Sherrill vs. Jack Ciattarelli race is the sleeper of the night. Sherrill has led for most of the race, but recent polling has things tightening. Trafalgar and Coefficient both show her up by one. Republicans are feeling bullish, and if this ends within three points, they'll have reason to. That would mean New Jersey, at minimum, becomes a fringe battleground in 2028. Not quite Arizona-level swing, but enough to force Democrats to spend real money defending it. I'm predicting Sherrill wins — but just barely.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:32 - Election Predictions00:23:08 - Update00:24:53 - Trade Deals00:30:58 - Shutdown00:38:10 - Israel00:44:36 - Interview with Austin Padgett01:38:03 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

After two years at sea chasing the combined fleet of France and Spain, what was Nelson's next step? Upon returning to his beloved Emma, how was the heroic Nelson received? What was the terrifying Napoleon Bonaparte scheming for his fleet across the seas? And, would Britain finally face an imminent French invasion, and with it apocalypse - for both Britain and Nelson himself? Join Dominic and Tom as they discuss the build up to one of the most totemic naval clashes of all time - Trafalgar - and Nelson; the man behind it all. _______ Start generating your own greener electricity for less, with £500 off Solar.

In this episode, Dr Sam Willis discusses the conservation of HMS Victory. As the flagship of Admiral Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar, Victory holds immense historical and cultural significance, but preserving her is proving to be a monumental challenge.Simon Williams, who leads the ship's conservation project 'HMS Victory: The Big Repair', shares the unexpected realities of working on the 260-year-old wooden vessel, including the discovery of extensive degradation. What began as a plan to replace six futtocks has grown into a massive effort to conserve 150 futtocks on the starboard side alone. With limited documentation from previous restorations, Simon explains how the team navigates risk management and decision-making in uncharted territory. Simon also discusses the delicate balance between public access and preservation, revealing how the team has had to repair structural elements while ensuring visitor safety and offering the public a rare opportunity to witness conservation in action. He reflects on the privilege of working on HMS Victory, and his fascination with the hidden stories embedded in the ship's construction and maintenance. To ensure future generations can continue this work, the team is creating a detailed historical record of the conservation process - laying the foundation for informed maintenance and repair for years to come.Carolina Sophie Henham also offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily realities of conservation work, from managing water ingress to battling persistent pests like the 'Death Watch' beetle, which is notoriously resistant to traditional treatments and particularly fond of oak, HMS Victory's primary timber. Carolina explains the difficulty of treating infestations without compromising the ship's structure, and shares insights into the team's ongoing research into sustainable pest control methods. She also discusses the innovative approaches being explored to protect this historic vessel.Tony Noon offers a behind-the-scenes tour of the conservation workshop at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, revealing bays dedicated to tasks like laminating futtocks and carving ornate timbers. The space also houses materials and artefacts from other historic ships, showcasing the broader scope of maritime preservation. This episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of the most ambitious maritime conservation projects in recent years.This episode is supported by the Society for Nautical Research, the Save The Victory Fund (STVF) and the Lloyd's Register Foundation.

In this commemorative episode of Mariner's Mirror Podcast, host Dr Sam Willis marks the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar by exploring the exact location and circumstances of Admiral Lord Nelson's death aboard HMS Victory on the 21st of October 1805. Joined by Andrew Baines, Executive Director of Museum Operations at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, and Dr Dan O'Brien, historian of undertakers and funerals in Eighteenth Century England, the discussion unfolds on the very decks where history was made - the quarter deck where Nelson was shot, and the orlop deck where he died.This episode offers a poignant reflection on the emotional weight that the decks of the Victory still retain. Baines observes how visitors respond to these spaces onboard the ship, noting the evolving significance and the solemn atmosphere on the flagship. The plaque on the quarter deck is polished every morning by the Royal Navy crew to commemorate Nelson's death. Once a functional part of the ship, the purpose of the orlop was forever transformed by the events of Trafalgar. O'Brien explores how this quiet, confined area has become a site of reverence - not only for Nelson's final moments but also for the countless anonymous sailors who perished. These spaces onboard HMS Victory now stand as a powerful reminder of sacrifice, legacy, and the human cost of naval warfare.Listeners are immersed in the chaos of battle on October 21, 1805, with vivid accounts of Nelson's final moments, the ship's damage, and the emotional impact on the crew. The episode also reflects on the significance of HMS Victory as a national memorial, contrasting it with Trafalgar Square and other public monuments. This is more than a retelling - it's a journey into the heart of naval heritage, recorded on the ship that still carries Nelson's legacy.This episode is supported by the Society for Nautical Research, the Save The Victory Fund (STVF) and the Lloyd's Register Foundation.

It is a historic day for President Trump and his second presidency. The world celebrated as all living hostages were returned after 2 tormenting years of being held captive. President Trump received a hero's welcome at the Knesset as he spoke to Israel's parliament about the triumph and future of Israel. Winsome Earle-Sears, the current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and Republican Gubernatorial Candidate for Virginia is here to discuss her vision for Virginia. As the latest Trafalgar poll shows a neck and neck race, Earle-Sears exposed Abigail Spanberger on the debate stage earlier this week. From bad energy polices, open borders, crime and men in women's sports, Spanberger is the same woke nonsense that America voted out in 2024. Spanberger smirked when Earle-Sears confronted her about Jay Jones demented and disturbing text messages and refused to even look at Earle-Sears. Abigial Spanberger is a cunning politician only out for herself and Winsome Earle-Sears is here to serve the people of Virginia. Audrey Fahlberg broke the story on Jay Jones's homicidal fantasy. The story surrounding the text messages changed the race in Virginia and put Republicans in a place to sweep the election. Audrey unpacks the text message scandal along with more unscrupulous behavior from Jay Jones.

TTC's Donna Nelson discusses Trafalgar's new river cruise programme.
This year, it's all about travel brands making their entry into Europe river cruising. We’ve been surprised this year by the number of established names moving in to the Rhine, Danube and beyond: Celebrity Cruises, Trafalgar and National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions among them. With Lisa Fitzgerald, a river-cruise expert advisor and founder of Fitzgerald Travel, and river cruise editor Brinley Hineman, we’re exploring why each of these brands is approaching river, and how they’re doing it in different ways. We’ll also look at the popularity of emerging destinations around the world, and numbers from Viking, the biggest river cruise line. This episode was edited for length and clarity. Since it was recorded on May 23, more information has been published about Celebrity's foray into river cruising -- and stay tuned for even more.

For today's episode in the history of bad ideas David talks to cultural historian Tom Wright about charisma, a term that often feels essential for understanding modern politics but which ends up obscuring far more than it explains. How did an old idea from Christian theology get used to explain the hold that political leaders have over crowds? Why is it so important not to confuse charm with charisma? What has made a word from early twentieth-century social science ubiquitous on twenty-first-century dating sites? And if Trump hasn't got charisma, then what has he got? Out now on PPF+: A bonus bad ideas episode in which David and Dan Snow talk about all sorts of ‘decisive battles' that weren't what they seem: Yarmuk, Hastings, Agincourt, Trafalgar, Warsaw 1920, Stalingrad, and more.

A political earthquake is underway as recent polls, even those historically skeptical, show a significant surge in Trump's approval ratings, sending shockwaves through the Democratic party. In this episode, I discuss how reputable polling outfits report unprecedented numbers for Trump, including surprising bipartisan approval, directly linked to rising economic sentiment. I also talk about the dire implications for the upcoming midterms, with historical data suggesting a potential "bloodbath" for Democrats, further exacerbated by growing calls for the party to address past deceptions regarding a previous administration's health and mental state. --If you wanna take advantage of this ECONOMIC BOOM, click on the link https://neoscdg.org/golden-age-summit or scan the QR code and get registered!*The content presented by sponsors may contain affiliate links.

Mainstream media would have you believe that Trump's first 100 days were a failure—despite securing the border and strong economic gains. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the polling regarding Donald Trump's early 2025 presidency on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” and asks the question: Were pollsters reflecting public opinion, or manipulating it? “There were analyses after each of the 2016, the 2020, and the 2024 elections about the accuracy of polls, post facto, of the election. And we learned that they were way off in 2016. They said they had learned their lessons. “They were way off in 2020. They said they learned their lesson. And they were way off in 2024. And why are they way off? Because liberal pollsters—and that's the majority of people who do these surveys—believe that if they create artificial leads for their Democratic candidates, it creates greater fundraising and momentum. “ If you look at the polls that were the most accurate—Mark Penn was very accurate. He's a Democratic pollster. But especially, the Rasmussen poll and the Insider Advantage and the Trafalgar poll. … They have Trump ahead by anywhere from two to three points after 100 days.”
