Send us a textThe Battle of Edgehill with ( Mark Turbull )On this episode of American Civil War & UK History podcast, host Daz was joined by author Mark Turbull to discuss the Battle of Edgehill which was the first pitched battle of the English Civil WarsThe Battle of Edgehill was fought near Edge Hill and Kineton in southern Warwickshire on Sunday, 23 October 1642. All attempts at constitutional compromise between King Charles and Parliament broke down early in 1642. Both the King and Parliament raised large armies to gain their way by force of arms. In October, at his temporary base near Shrewsbury, the King decided to march to London in order to force a decisive confrontation with Parliament's main army, commanded by the Earl of Essex.Support the show link.(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/AcwandukhistoryACW & UK History's Website.https://darrenscivilwarpag8.wixsite.com/acwandukhistoryACW & UK History's Pages.https://linktr.ee/ACWandUKHISTORYSupport the show

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Helen Lewis is a staff writer at The Atlantic and author of The Genius Myth: Great Ideas Don't Come from Lone Geniuses.  Notes: Shakespeare: Talent + Luck + Timing - William Shakespeare died in 1616 at age 52, celebrated but not yet immortal. His icon status required massive luck: friends published the First Folio (saving King Lear), then 50 years later, Charles II reopened England's theaters after Puritan closures and needed content. Companies turned to Shakespeare's IP, adapting his work (including changing tragedies to happy endings). Helen: "If anyone deserves to be called a genius, it's him. But he died as a successful man of his age. Scenius Over Genius - Brian Eno coined "scenius" - places that are unusually productive and creative. Shakespeare moved from Warwickshire to London for the theaters and playwrights. Helen: "You don't just have to be Leonardo, you also need Florence... Where do you find the coolest, most interesting bleeding edge of your field?" Modern example: Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership in Austin created an alternative to LA/NYC for comedians like Shane Gillis and Tony Hinchcliffe. Ryan: "Put yourself in rooms where you feel like the dumbest person... force you to rise up, think differently, work harder." Tim Berners-Lee vs. Elon Musk - Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. Has knighthood, lives an ordinary life, kids named Alice and Ben. Most people have never heard of him. Elon Musk has a lot of children, talks about his genes needing to live on, and lives a very public life. Helen: "We overrate the self-promoters, the narcissists. We demand oddness and specialness... We don't call modest people geniuses because they're too normal." Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos) and Sam Bankman-Fried (FTX) exploited this - looked like a genius (Steve Jobs cosplay, messy math prodigy) but stood on houses of cards. Trauma and the "I'll Show You" Engine - Matthew Parris wrote Fracture after noticing how many "great lives" had traumatic childhoods - loss of parents, being unloved, bullied. Helen: "I don't think that's necessarily genius in objective achievement. It's more like a hunger for recognition or fame... a kind of 'I'll show all of you' engine." Stephen Hawking on IQ - Stephen Hawking: "I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers." The Flynn Effect shows average IQ rose over the 20th century through better nutrition, schooling, and living conditions. Higher IQ correlates with better outcomes. But at the top end, every IQ point ≠ is one success point. Christopher Langan (the highest IQ guy) thinks he has a theory to overturn Einstein, and that Bush did 9/11 to cover it up. No history of achievement. Helen: "Smart people don't always prosper. You need the gears that connect the engine to the wheels on the road." Conspiracy Theories: Narcissism as Driver - Narcissism is the most correlated personality trait with conspiracy thinking. Helen: "The sheeple, the NPCs think this, but I alone have seen the truth. It positions you as the protagonist of reality." The Internet is a "confirmation bias engine." But conspiracies are sometimes true (Epstein's corrupt plea deal), which is why conspiracy thinking persists. Researcher Karen Stenner's solution: Get back to depoliticized conspiracies like Bigfoot, crop circles, Area 51 - harmless things that got people outside instead of "shoot up a pizza restaurant." The Beatles: Finiteness Creates Legend - Psychologist Han Isaac said geniuses should either die before 30 or live past 80. Middle is "eh." The Beatles had both: a short career that ended definitively, then John Lennon was shot at 40, frozen in time. Paul McCartney lives on, performs at Glastonbury with John's vocals. Craig Brown: "The Rolling Stones just go on and on, but there's never as much of the Beatles as you want." Quality Over Quantity - Helen: "Incentive now is producing constantly for algorithms... That's neither fun nor produces the best work." Early career: say YES. Later career: "The most important thing you can say is no." Her metric: "Can I say honestly, that was the best I could do? I didn't cut corners. That's the metric." Podcast: advised to do 2-3 episodes weekly for rankings, has been doing weekly for 10.5 years. Shows that went daily? He stopped listening. "I'm gonna increase the quality bar, not the quantity." Robert Greene: "Do not speak unless you can improve upon the silence." Improving the Silence - "My dad's not the loudest at family gatherings, doesn't have the most words, but when he speaks, we all stop and listen. That's who you want to be." Applies to meetings: people vomit garbage to show how smart they are instead of waiting for something valuable. When you speak, people should want to listen. Thomas Edison: Execution Over Ideas - The Light bulb wasn't Edison's conceptual innovation - the idea dated to Humphrey Davy. What was incredible: Edison made it work (vacuum seal, filament) and created the New York power grid. Helen: "Lots of people can have the idea that a man should be an ant. Not everybody can write the Ant-Man screenplay and have it produced." His Menlo Park lab lasted because he worked with brilliant people on problems they cared about. Logbook shows assistants' names on breakthroughs - collaborative. We underrate logistics and execution. Most "light bulb moments" are actually slow, incremental, contested creations. Why Helen Chooses Teams Over Independence - Could go independent on Substack for more money. Works at The Atlantic for: resources, legal support, editorial integrity, and colleagues she doesn't want to let down. Helen: "You must have people in your life, you think, I wanna do work that they like. Finding those people who make you your best version of yourself." Ryan connects to athletics: "Being surrounded by people better than me forces me to raise my game. That's why we want to be part of a great team." Sample First, Specialize Later - High achievers have "hot streak" later, but sample early - trying different things, learning transferable skills. Helen: "Take the first job at a publication you could learn from. Even if not wildly interested, if it's good and they'll hold you to high standards, do it. Your second job is infinitely easier to get than your first." Work Around People Who Care - Helen: "If you work somewhere where no one cares, it's very hard. You can't care on your own. You'll become infected by the apathy around you." Nothing is more boring than a job you don't care about. Don't Wait to Live - Some devote long hours to something for money, promising they'll retire at 30 and then live. Helen: "What if you spent all that time chasing something and then you get hit by a truck? Don't wait for it. Just try and enjoy what you're doing right now." Quotes: "You don't just have to be Leonardo, you also need Florence."  "We overrate the self-promoters and underrate the humble achievers."  "Smart people don't always prosper. You need the gears that connect the engine to the wheels."  "The most important thing you can say is no."  "Do not speak unless you can improve upon the silence." - Robert Greene "You can't care on your own. You'll become infected by the apathy around you."  It's funny that we have come to use the phrase ‘lightbulb moment' to describe a momentary flash of inspiration, because the birth of the lightbulb was slow, incremental, and highly contested.

Alex is back in the listeners chair again today. You send in the questions, we tackle them live—always with an environmental twist and no peeking beforehand.Jess, from  Bishop's Tatchbrook, Warwickshire, England sets the initial question - “I've been thinking about the police Stop and Search tactics in the UK. Should we keep it? Done for the right reasons, with truthful explanations, is it wrong? It's about how it's done I think, without aggression, reasonably and respectfully. Done well it lasts seconds, done badly it progresses and escalates”.Alex hasn't had much direct experience with stop and search but has heard mixed views. William sees outcomes as shaped by the officer's mindset, while Stuart argues stereotyping is inevitable—but misuse is harmful. Stuart's been stopped often and feels both sides share responsibility. William stresses the need for solid reasoning, though Stuart defends instinct. They discuss vague intel, lost police experience, and knowing your rights. Stuart calls for balance; William urges activists to check their egos to avoid pointless conflict.Vinroy, in Linstead, Jamaica sent us the next question - “Not been well recently so I have been thinking about some big issues. The world around us, including buildings and the sea, is it dominated by objects or processes?”William sees our world as shaped by habitual processes—things built, then replaced. Alex adds that automation plays a growing role. Stuart argues nearly everything is a process, not an object: the sea, buildings, even plastic all undergo constant change and decay. He struggles to see anything as static. William agrees, linking deterioration to environmental forces. Alex counters that objects exist as matter, while life itself is a process. The conversation dips into philosophy. William's action: don't over define everything. Stuart's: take time to reflect—or not. Alex's: contemplate life's full arc and step back from reality.What do you make of this discussion?

In a broadcasting first, the BBC has followed a team from His Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons as it investigates conditions in a prison near Rugby in Warwickshire. The result is a unique insight into the problems faced by the prison system. This portrait of a prison on trial reveals how under-resourced prison staff are failing to stop copious amounts of drugs being brought in, and are struggling to provide a safe and productive environment in which prisoners can be prepared for release back into society.His Majesty's Prison Onley is a category C, medium security prison, housing 740 inmates. Its governor, Mark Allen, says Onley is among the top ten prisons for incursion of drugs via drones and admits many of his staff are too inexperienced to handle the inmates, resulting in frustration among prisoners, and violence. In its last inspection three years ago, Onley was found to be struggling in various areas, and it doesn't take the inspection team long to find out that things are, if anything, getting worse. Inspectors meet prisoners who complain about everything from lack of laundry facilities to failure to provide meaningful work opportunities, or help with their offender behaviour. One inspector has to intervene when she finds a prisoner ‘spiced up' and in need of immediate help. Another prisoner is refusing to leave the relative safety of the segregation wing, because he's being threatened with violence over his debts to drug dealers within the prison. Inspectors discover evidence that officers are too ready to resort to force to deal with difficult prisoners and failing to keep accurate records of their restraining methods.Prison officers talk about the challenges of trying to deal with violence within the prison and of trying to prevent drugs coming in.In a lighter moment, lead inspector Angus Jones visits the prison library and discovers a surprising inclusion among books the prisoners are not allowed to read.The inspection ends with the team meeting to agree how to score Onley against their key criteria for a ‘healthy prison' and then presenting their conclusions to the Governor. Presenter: Rex Bloomstein Producers: Brian King and Rex BloomsteinA Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.

'Macbeth' es una de las tragedias más oscuras y poderosas de William Shakespeare, sumergiendo al espectador en un mundo de ambición, brujería, locura y traición. La obra se centra en Macbeth, un valiente guerrero escocés, y su esposa Lady Macbeth, quienes, consumidos por la ambición y las profecías de tres brujas, trazan un plan para asesinar al rey Duncan y tomar el trono de Escocia. La trama se desenreda en un espiral de violencia y paranoia, con Macbeth asesinando a aquellos que sospecha que amenazan su poder, incluyendo a su amigo Banquo y la familia de su rival Macduff. A medida que el derramamiento de sangre aumenta, Macbeth se ve acosado por la culpa y las visiones, mientras que Lady Macbeth, igualmente atormentada, desciende a la locura. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, Reino de Inglaterra, 23 de abril de 1564 - ib., 23 de abril/3 de mayo de 1616) ha sido considerado unánimemente el escritor más importante de la literatura universal. Se mantiene que nació el 23 de abril de 1564 y que fue bautizado, al día siguiente, en Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. Su llegada a Londres se ha fechado hacia 1588. Cuatro años después de su llegada a la metrópoli, ya había logrado un notable éxito como dramaturgo y actor teatral, éxito que pronto le valió el mecenazgo de Henry Wriothesley, tercer conde de Southampton. Con solo haberse dedicado a la poesía, Shakespeare ya habría pasado a la historia por poemas como Venus y Adonis, La violación de Lucrecia o los sonetos. Sin embargo, si hay un campo en el que Shakespeare realizó grandes y trascendentales logros fue en el teatro; no en vano es el responsable principal del florecimiento del teatro isabelino, uno de los mascarones de proa de la incipiente hegemonía mundial de Inglaterra. A lo largo de su carrera escribió, modificó o colaboró en decenas de obras teatrales, de las cuales podemos atribuirle plenamente treinta y ocho, que perviven en nuestros días gracias a su genio y su talento. Cuento extraído de Tragedias de Shakespeare, de 451Editores, autorizado por el autor Andrés Barba para su publicación en Historias para ser leídas. Andrés Barba, Licenciado en Filología Hispánica, es autor de la novelas 'La hermana de Katia', finalista del premio Herralde de Novela, 'Ahora tocad música del baile' y 'Versiones de Teresa', premio Torrente Ballester, así como el libro de relatos 'La recta intención'. Coautor junto a Javier Montes de 'La ceremonia del porno', premio Anagrama de ensayo, ha publicado la novela infantil 'Historia de nadas', y el poemario en prosa 'Libro de las caídas'.

Shakespeare escribió esta tragedia hacia 1606, y con ella puso en escena no solo la ambición y la sangre de un noble escocés, sino también los susurros de tres brujas que, dicen, hablaban con un lenguaje demasiado verdadero. Hechizos reales, robados a quienes no perdonan la profanación. Desde entonces, la obra arrastra un halo maldito. Se cuenta que cada vez que alguien osa pronunciar su título dentro de un teatro, la desgracia acecha. Para evitarlo, existe un ritual: salir, girar tres veces sobre sí mismo, escupir al suelo, lanzar una blasfemia y pedir permiso para volver a entrar. ¿Exageración? Quizá. Pero en los pasillos oscuros del teatro, donde la ficción y la realidad se rozan, más de un actor prefiere no tentar al destino. Y ahora, abramos el telón de esta tragedia… ¡Únete a la nave de Historias para ser Leídas y conviértete en uno de nuestros taberneros galácticos.

Send us a text The Greatest of Them All - Part 1Now when I first decided to have a series of podcast episodes dealing with what I believe are the 25 most influential writers, it seemed easiest and most effective to have one episode for each writer. But I soon found that William Shakespeare easily deserved several episodes - so I'm going to devote two episodes to Shakespeare because of his importance to the English language and creativity -still fully realizing that's not enough.Anyway, If you visit Stratford-upon-Avon today, the first thing you'll hear is that William Shakespeare was born in 1564. We don't actually know the exact day, but we do know he was baptized on April 26th at Holy Trinity Church. Since baptisms usually happened a few days after birth, tradition has settled on April 23rd — St. George's Day — as Shakespeare's birthday. A fitting coincidence, since St. George is England's patron saint and Shakespeare would become its greatest poet.He was the son of John Shakespeare, a glove maker and part-time wool dealer who rose to become an alderman in the town, and Mary Arden, who came from a well-off farming family. That gave young Will a household connected both to trade and to old Warwickshire landowners.Like many boys of his station, he probably attended the King's New School in Stratford. The curriculum would have been heavy on Latin, rhetoric, and the classics. Day after day, he would have been drilled in the works of Ovid, Seneca, and Plautus. Later, echoes of those schoolroom authors would resurface in his plays — Pyramus and Thisbe in A Midsummer Night's Dream, the Roman senators in Julius Caesar.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Great Hearts Academies' Dr. Helen Baxendale interview Dr. Kathryn Hughes, academic historian and award-winning author of George Eliot: The Last Victorian. Dr. Hughes discusses the significance of 19th-century novelist Mary Ann Evans, better known by her pen name George Eliot, in shaping British literature and capturing the societal tensions of the Victorian era. She highlights Eliot's formative years in rural Warwickshire, her intellectual and scandalous personal relationship with the philosopher George Henry Lewes, and how her unconventional experiences shaped her writing. Additionally, she delves into Eliot's most celebrated works, including Adam Bede, Silas Marner, and Middlemarch. Dr. Hughes reflects on recurring themes of marriage, women's roles, and political reform, solidifying her reputation as one of the greatest writers of the 19th century and ensuring her lasting impact on modern readers. She concludes the interview with an excerpt from her book, George Eliot: The Last Victorian.

A few years ago, the number of asylum seekers in the Warwickshire market town of Nuneaton was in single digits. But it has become another community facing anti-migrant unrest.   Our Midlands correspondent Shamaan Freeman-Powell visited Nuneaton, as it's a key battleground for the migrant crisis conversation, visiting the homes where migrants are placed, and witnessing community tensions in the high street.   Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Mike Bovill 

Welcome to the podcast that's not really about people, and definitely not about the countryside—unless you count emotional landscapes and the occasional sheep metaphor.Since the Great Plague of Zoom Calls (aka COVID), you lot have been flinging questions at us like confetti at a wedding we weren't invited to. We don't read them beforehand—because where's the fun in preparation? We hit record and hope for the best.We've got 18 more questions queued up, which means we're either wildly popular or someone's cat walked across a keyboard and hit “send” repeatedly. Either way, if you want your question featured, now's your moment.And yes, somewhere buried beneath our rambling, sarcasm, and occasional existential dread, there's probably a nugget of actionable wisdom. Like a motivational quote scribbled on a pub napkin.Jess, from Bishop's Tatchbrook, Warwickshire, England sets the first question  - “How do different forms of love (platonic, romantic, familial) direct and orchestrate our lives individually and collectively?”Love: the emotional Swiss Army knife. Stuart says it grounds you, energizes you, distracts you, levels you out, and occasionally hijacks your to-do list. William's all in—love is life, especially if it involves hugging trees. Stuart's less sentimental: family is great unless you're stuck with them like mismatched socks, and friends might just be the upgrade. William assumes families love each other (adorable), but also warns that love can morph into grief-monsters and toxic clinginess. Sometimes, the most loving thing is to ghost your relatives. And finally, William wonders: do we love the planet, or are we just swiping right on nature for the aesthetic?Luna, from San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico sets the next question - “ What do you think of your critics?”Stuart's approach to criticism? Less “What did they say?” and more “How dare they make me feel things?” He's basically running a one-man emotional focus group. William, ever the sage, thinks critics can be useful—like unsolicited life coaches with better vocabulary. But he refuses to create with critics in mind, because nothing says artistic paralysis like trying to please everyone. Stuart suggests we interrogate our environmental beliefs (cue existential crisis), while William wraps it all up with a TED Talk to a bank: be authentic, not beige. Because nothing screams soul like ignoring your shareholders.What do you make of this discussion? Do you have a question that you'd like us to discuss?

In 2010, the market town of Rugby in Warwickshire was shaken by a tragedy that few could have predicted. Gabrielle Chapman - known fondly as “Gabi” to those closest to her - was a nurse and midwife who had dedicated her life to helping others.With a warm nature and a tendency to always see the good in people, she was deeply loved by her family, friends, and colleagues. But behind closed doors, a very different story was unfolding. It was one marked by control, manipulation, and the dangers that can lurk within seemingly ordinary relationships.What followed was a devastating chain of events that left a lasting impact on her community, raising important questions about coercive control, domestic abuse, and the quiet dangers that can so easily go unnoticed.If you're experiencing domestic abuse and feel frightened of, or controlled by, a partner, an ex-partner or family member, it's important to remember that it's not your fault and there is no shame in seeking help.

Reports out of Israel suggest Benjamin Netanyahu is considering expanding military operations in Gaza, despite growing opposition to the war. Hundreds of Israeli security officials have signed a letter to US President Trump urging him to intervene and stop the war. We speak to one of them, former head of the Israeli Secret Service Shin Bet.Nigel Farage has called on the police to release the immigration status of suspects charged with crimes following the arrest of two men in connection with the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in Warwickshire.And after a spell-binding last test match, we'll ask where this summer's series between England and India sit in the cricketing pantheon.

The leader of the Reform UK Party has called for police to release more information about those charged with crimes. Nigel Farage believes details such as immigration status should be made public, saying it's not in contempt of court for the British public to know the identity of those who have allegedly committed serious crimes. UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking it comes after the arrest of two men in connection with the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in Warwickshire.

The Mill on the Floss is George Eliot's most autobiographical novel, and the first she published after her identity as a woman was revealed. A ‘dreamscape' version of her Warwickshire childhood, the book is both a working-through and a reimagining of her life. Ruth Yeazell and Deborah Friedell join Tom to discuss the novel and its protagonist Maggie Tullliver, for whom duty – societal, familial, self-imposed – continually conflicts with her personal desires. They explore the book's submerged sexuality, its questioning of conventional gender roles, and the way Eliot's satirical impulse is counterbalanced by the complexity of her characters.
