Podcasts about West Berlin

Serhii Plokhy describes how by October 20, the Joint Chiefs, led by Curtis LeMay, were pushing for Oplan 312 (a full-scale invasion), accusing Kennedy of "appeasement." Kennedy feared an invasion would trigger a Soviet takeover of West Berlin. He successfully hid the crisis from the media for a week to weigh his options. Choosing the term "quarantine" to avoid a legal act of war, he bought critical time. Meanwhile, Khrushchev fell into a panic in Moscow, fearing an imminent U.S. strike and even considering a false-flag claim that the missiles were under Cuban control. (4)1920

Berlin wasn't blockaded — and that changes everything you think.Was Berlin really “blockaded” in 1948? Or have we been repeating a Cold War myth for nearly eighty years?In this explosive episode of History Rage, cultural historian and author Joseph Pearson dismantles one of the most entrenched narratives of the early Cold War. We all know the story: Stalin sealed off West Berlin, starving its people, and the West heroically saved the city through the Berlin Airlift. But what if Berlin was never truly blockaded at all?Drawing on deep archival research and firsthand accounts from Berliners, Pearson argues that the term “blockade” is historically misleading. While ground and rail access from West Germany was restricted, movement between East and West Berlin continued. Civilians crossed borders. Food flowed in. Even Soviet authorities offered rations. The airlift was real — and extraordinary — but the idea of a city completely sealed off is far more myth than fact.We explore:What a “blockade” actually means — and why the word mattersHow ordinary Berliners experienced the airliftThe women who built Tegel Airport in just 90 daysThe terrifying near-misses that could have sparked World War IIIThe propaganda war that turned former enemies into alliesWhy the Berlin Airlift remains a masterclass in geopolitical brinkmanshipJoseph Pearson, originally from Canada and now based in Berlin, specialises in everyday history — the lived experience behind the headlines. His latest book examines the Berlin Airlift through the eyes of civilians and pilots, revealing a more complex, human and politically charged story.Guest Details:Joseph Pearson is a cultural historian and author based in Berlin.Book: The Airlift: Victories, Myths, and the Berlin BlockadeBuy here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781803998220Follow Joseph on Instagram @writing_josephIf you care about Cold War history, post-war Germany, the Berlin Blockade, the Berlin Airlift, or how propaganda shapes memory — this episode will challenge what you thought you knew.Episode recommendations:Episode 219 – Giles Milton on Post War Berlin - https://pod.fo/e/2f6bc6Episode 103 – Katja Hoyer on East Germany - https://pod.fo/e/21793e Follow & Support History Rage

„The End is Near, Here”. Heißt das große Fotobuch von Michael Dressel, entstanden am Vorabend der Wahl von Donald Trump zum 47. US-Präsidenten. In seiner Street-Fotographie wird ein Land sichtbar, das viel soziales Elend und waffenstarrenden Schrecken produziert – insgesamt eine Gesellschaft am Abgrund. Geboren 1958 in Ost-Berlin, verbrachte Michael Dressel nach missglückter Flucht zwei Jahre in DDR-Gefängnissen. Dann Ausreise nach West-Berlin und weiter nach Los Angeles, wo er seither vornehmlich lebt. Als Fotograf wurde er vor allem durch seinen scharfen Blick auf Menschen im Alltag bekannt.

Nach einem erfolgreich abgebrochen Jurastudium, studierte sie Kulturwissenschaft und Romanistik in Berlin und Paris. Während des Studiums ist sie über Praktika und freie Projekte zum Journalismus gekommen. 2019 machte sie ihr Volontariat beim NDR und blieb.

Deutsche Medien und der Gaza-Israel Krieg") und als Producerin und Autorin für Panorama. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über den wachsenden Vertrauensverlust junger Menschen in die Medien‑Berichterstattung und den öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk am Beispiel des sogenannten Nahost‑Konfliktes, über die Ursachen dieses Misstrauens und mögliche Auswege aus diesem. Noura erklärt, warum nach dem 7. Oktober 2023 viele Jugendliche die Berichterstattung als zu positioniert wahrnehmen, welche strukturellen und historischen Faktoren dabei eine Rolle spielen und wie Social‑Media‑Effekte die Wahrnehmung verzerren. Außerdem diskutieren wir, warum Transparenz und eine offene Fehlerkultur beim ÖRR wichtig sind und wie Schulen in Zusammenarbeit mit Journalist*innen Medienkompetenz stärken könnten.

Tupoka Ogette erzählt vom Aufwachsen in der DDR als Schwarze Tochter einer Regimekritikerin, die 1988 mit der Tochter nach West-Berlin übersiedelte, vom tansanischen Vater, der die DDR zuvor verlassen mußte und in seine Heimat zurückkehrte, von der Suche nach Zugehörigkeit, von einem Leben im Widerspruch, von Flucht, Verlust, Sexismus und Gewalt, aber auch von Liebe, Mutterschaft und Selbstermächtigung. „Meinen Zweitnamen Sibylle habe ich so oft es ging verheimlicht. Ich habe der Geschichte und den damit einhergehenden Zuschreibungen und Projektionen, die andere über mich und meinen Namen hatten, mehr Glauben geschenkt als mir selbst. Diese Zeit ist vorbei.“, schreibt Tupoka Ogette in „Trotzdem zuhause“ und fährt fort, „Tupoka heißt auf Deutsch „Die das Glück ins Haus bringt“. Die Sibyllen sind mythologische Gestalten aus der antiken griechischen und römischen Tradition, die als Prophetinnen oder Seherinnen galten. … Ich bin die Tochter von Camilla aus Gera und Ambonesigwe aus Sange. Ich bin Tupoka Sibylle. Ich bin ein Brückenmensch. Das ist doch was“.Tupoka Ogette wurde 1980 in Leipzig als Tochter eines tansanischen Studenten der Landwirtschaft und einer deutschen Mathematikstudentin geboren. In West-Berlin lebte Tupoka Ogette bis zum Abitur. An der Universität Leipzig studierte sie Afrikanistik mit Schwerpunkt Politik und Wirtschaft Afrikas, sowie Deutsch als Fremdsprache und absolvierte 2007 bis 2009 einen Master in International Business an der Graduate School of Grenoble. Von 2008 bis 2012 arbeitete Tupoka Ogette als Lektorin des Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienstes an der Université Stendhal in Grenoble.

Rassismuskritisch denken lernen.“ In ihrem podcast „TUPODCAST“ spricht sie mit Schwarzen Frauen über ihr Leben, Wirken und Sein in Deutschland. Zudem gründete sie mit ihrem Team die digitale Akademie „Tupokademie. Die Community“, ein Angebot für Menschen, die rassimuskritisch denken und leben lernen möchten. Tupoka Ogette lebt mit ihrem Mann, dem Künstler und Bildhauer Stephen Lawson, und ihren Kindern in Berlin. Im Penguin-Verlag erschienen zudem die Bücher „Und jetzt du. Rassismuskritisch leben“ und „Tag für Tag aktiv gegen Rassismus“.Moderation Julia HemmerlingRedaktion: Angelika Zapf

Wenn Ihr Radio hört, den Fernseher anschaltet oder ein Computerspiel zockt, dann kennt Ihr auf jeden Fall seine Stimme. Rau, markant, mit ganz viel Leben drin.Eine Stimme, die man nie vergisst. Der Mann, dem diese Stimme gehört, ist mein Gast in der aktuellen Folge des BB RADIO Mitternachtstalk Podcasts: Reiner Schöne. Schauspieler, Musiker, Songwriter, Synchronsprecher und Autor. Einer, der eigentlich mal Seemann werden wollte und stattdessen ein Leben bekommen hat, das spannender ist als manche Netflix-Serie. Besonders dann, wenn er selbst davon erzählt. Das ist auch der Anlass seines Besuchs: Seine Autobiografie „Immer Sehnsucht nach der Ferne“ ist erschienen. Und schon der Titel sagt eigentlich alles über ihn. Geboren in Hessen, groß geworden in Weimar. Erst DDR, später West-Berlin, dann Hollywood, Los Angeles und irgendwann zurück nach Deutschland. Dazwischen liegen Geschichten, für die andere wahrscheinlich drei Leben brauchen würden. Er steht mit Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef und Kris Kristofferson vor der Kamera, spielt in Serien wie MacGyver, JAG, Babylon 5 oder Star Trek und lebt viele Jahre den amerikanischen Traum. Ein deutscher Schauspieler mit einem internationalen Leben und einer Stimme, die Millionen kennen. Denn wenn Willem Dafoe auf Deutsch spricht, Darth Vader bedrohlich klingt oder Optimus Prime die Welt rettet, dann steckt oft seine Stimme dahinter. Reiner Schöne lebt ein Leben auf der Überholspur. Immer unterwegs zwischen Fernweh und Heimat, zwischen Aufbruch und Ankommen, zwischen Erfolg und Abstürzen, zwischen Neuanfängen und verrückten Zufällen. Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über Flucht und Freiheit, über Schutzengel und Rock 'n' Roll, über Leben und Tod und über die Frage, warum manche Menschen niemals wirklich stillsitzen können. Freut Euch auf ein sehr schönes, tiefes, aber auch sehr lustiges Gespräch mit „The Voice“ Reiner Schöne.

On August 13, 1961, the Communist government of East Germany) began to build a barbed wire and concrete barrier, between East and West Berlin, which came to be known as the Berlin Wall. The primary aim was to prevent mass exodus of East Germans into the affluent West Germany.  28 years later, on November 9, 1989, the Wall came crashing down, heralding an end to the Cold War.

Many of you probably know the story of Gail Halvorsen -- a transport pilot in World War 2 who helped bring supplies to those trapped in West Berlin. Among the things he dropped was candy… leading him to become known as the Candy Bomber. Now, Utah students are taking some time to learn more about this historic event.

Back to our beginnings; the continuation of PART ONE, from my "First Hand Accounts" episode. This true story includes recording excerpts of myself, from 1982 in West Berlin! Thomas and I, were telling about our dramatic journey together, from the time we met in 1970. We were true hippies, delving into new age practices and philosophies, looking for God. The first time I began to understand the Bible was when I was in jail!When we moved up to Mendocino, California, with our homemade tipi, everything changed. We finally met someone who told us the truth! This turning point, has everything to do with why I write and talk about, "Finding Purpose - the Song of my Life."Welcome friends! I am glad you are here!

In dieser Radioreise präsentiert Ihnen Alexander Tauscher ein paar der Berlin-Citylights. Freuen Sie sich auf einen Rundgang vom Gendarmenmarkt über den Checkpoint Charlie, die Trabi-World zum Potsdamer Platz und Brandenburger Tor. Weiter führt uns der Weg entlang der Straße "Unter den Linden" vorbei an der Botschaft der Russischen Förderation zur Museumsinsel. Sabine Müller, die im einstigen Westberlin aufgewachsen ist, erinnert dabei immer wieder an die Zeiten, als diese Stadt durch Mauer und Stacheldraht geteilt war. Auf dieser Route liegt unser Basiscamp, das Hilton Berlin Hotel, vis á vis von Französischem und Deutschem Dom. Die stellvertretende Bar-Managerin Natascha Schlicht stellt uns das neue Konzept einer französischen Brasserie mit Berliner Touch vor. Sönke Schneidewind, Bereichsleiter Marketing im Humboldt-Forum, begrüßt uns in einem Haus auf historischem Boden und mit historischen Mauern. Er spricht über hochkarätige Ausstellungen in diesem Komplex, den man als ein Teil der Museumsinsel sehen kann.  In 207 Metern Höhe, hoch über den Dächern der Hauptstadt, verbindet im Berliner Fernsehturm das Sphere Tim Raue seine kulinarische Handschrift mit der ikonischen Architektur und feinster Ingenieurskunst zu einem Erlebnis. Restaurantleiterin Katharina Bambach blättert mit uns in der Speisekarte.

Viel Spaß in Spreeathen, im dicken B, in der deutschen Hauptstadt - im bärenstarken Berlin!

Spaßeshalber droppen wir hier im ersten Satz mal names, denn welcher verhältnismäßig junge Mensch kann von sich schon behaupten, mit den Legenden Conny Froboess und Günter Pfitzmann zusammengearbeitet zu haben? Unser heutiger Gast kann es, Dennenesch Zoudé, die im Dezember des Jahres 1966 in Äthiopiens Hauptstadt Addis Abeba zur Welt und mit zwei Jahren nach West-Berlin kam. Die politischen Verhältnisse in der Heimat wurden und blieben wackelig, die Rückkehr verschob sich auf ungewisse Zeit und Dennenesch konnte auf Umwegen das tun, wofür sie wirklich brannte: Theater spielen, Singen lernen. Als Schauspielerin arbeiten. Ihre erste Rolle 1992 bestritt sie – daher auch die legendären Verweise – in der früher sehr gefeierten "Praxis Bülowbogen", ein guter Start also. Ein Blick auf Dennenesch Zoudés Stationen zeigt, dass sie sich inhaltlich nicht festlegen lassen möchte, davon zeugen Engagements als Sängerin, klassische Unterhaltungsfilme aber auch anspruchsvollen Theaterstücke. Und nun? Wird es ein ganz neues Projekt geben, über das wir natürlich auch sprechen. Neben all den Geschichten und Songs ihres Lebens.

Ab dem Jahr 1961 sind Ost- und West-Berlin durch eine Mauer geteilt. Erst 28 Jahre später wird diese Grenze aufgehoben. Im ersten Teil unserer Doppelfolge erzählen wir von den Anfängen des Kalten Krieges und wie es geschehen konnte, dass ein tödlicher Streifen einmal quer durch die deutsche Hauptstadt gezogen wurde. Es geht um die Menschen, die dieses Monstrum geplant und gebaut haben. Um die Reaktion der Welt auf den Bau der Mauer. Aber auch um all jene, die sich nicht damit abfinden wollen und alles für ein Leben in Freiheit riskieren.Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

May we resolve to live not by lies, political correctness, wokeness, or ‘repressive tolerance‘ by any name. May we live by the Truth alone, and may God have mercy on us. Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. — Theodore Dalrymple (Anthony Daniels) Frontpage Magazine interview (August 31, 2005) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. — Romans 10:8-13 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. — John 14:6 KJV Links Videos / Clips [x] = Played Triggered!

Für viele in der Bundesrepublik sozialisierte Hörerinnen und Hörer begann alles mit ganzen drei Fernsehsendern. ARD, ZDF und das jeweilige 3. Regionalprogramm. Und: es gab DDR1 und DDR2. Nachts lief ein Testbild, wer da was wie genau testete, hinterfragte kaum jemand, auch nicht, dass es einen Sendeschluss gab, das war’s für heute, Ende, aus. 1984 schließlich kam in Deutschland das Privatfernsehen hinzu und plötzlich gab es eine nie dagewesene Vielfalt. Talkshows. Gerichtsshows. Sportshows. Und einer, der - vielleicht nicht von der ersten Sekunde an, aber dann doch - recht bald auf sehr vielen Ebenen mitmischte, war und ist Johannes B. Kerner. Ein sportaffiner Junge, geboren 1964, aufgewachsen im Rheinland und in West-Berlin, einer, der ein BWL-Studium abbrach, um sein Glück beim damaligen SFB zu versuchen. Mit Erfolg, wie wir heute wissen. Sportreporter, Kommentator, lange Moderator des aktuellen Sportstudios, ran, eigene Talkshow, Ein Herz für Kinder, Quizchampion.

Mit "Black Celebration" hat die Band Depeche Mode im März 1986 ihr fünftes Studioalbum herausgebracht. Produziert wurde das Album in den legendären Hansa-Studios in Berlin. Für ihr Album "Black Celebration" sind Depeche Mode 1985 zurückgekehrt in die, für sie bereits bekannten, Hansa-Studios nach West-Berlin. Dort hatte die Gruppe um Sänger Dave Gahan bereits die beiden Vorgängeralben "Some Great Reward" und "Construction Time Again" aufgenommen. Die Band hat sich von der Qualität ihrer Produktion und ihres Samplings enorm weiterentwickelt, findet Dave Jörg. Und sie haben damit auch Mut bewiesen, denn sie haben sich mit "Black Celebration" gegen die aktuellen Trends von sanftem und weichem Pop gestellt, wie zum Beispiel Samantha Fox, Sandra oder Modern Talking. Depeche Mode haben mit ihrem Album das Gegenteil gemacht und sind noch düsterer geworden. Bereits der selbstbetitelte Album-Opener zieht uns mit seiner Soundcollage rein in die Platte. Alles klingt dabei sehr düster, aber diese Düsternis ist nichts Schlechtes, erklärt SWR1 Musikredakteurin Katharina Heinius: "Sie drehen dieses Düstere schon fast um". Das passiert, indem sie eine Passage einer Rede von Winston Churchill nehmen, die er nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs gehalten hat. Daraus nehmen Depeche Mode für den Anfang ihrer "schwarzen Feier", den Ausschnitt: "Wir dürfen uns eine kurze Zeit der Freude gönnen". Mit "Black Celebration" haben Depeche Mode sich ein ganzes Stück weiterentwickelt, ihre Position im Popbusiness gefestigt und gleichzeitig ein neues Level erreicht, was ihre Karriere betrifft, so ordnen Dave Jörg und Katharina Heinius das Album im Kontext der Bandgeschichte ein. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Black Celebration" sprechen wir im Podcast (10:16) – "Black Celebration"(20:17) – "A Question Of Lust"(27:56) – "A Question Of Time"(35:30) – "Stripped"(47:22) – "But Not Tonight"(51:59) – "New Dress"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "Black Celebration" findet ihr hier: https://x.swr.de/s/depechemodeblackcelebration __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Today, I decided to share a more personal story with music, that I haven't used yet, on the podcast. With Thomas' birthdate coming up, I am reminiscing about the musician boy, that I met in July of 1970. We were teenagers from opposite ends of the world. If he hadn't spoken English at the time, our story would have turned out differently. Instead he began a conversation with me at the school-boy's pub in West Berlin, and we immediately clicked.Everyone loves, a great "Love Story", so this is ours!

Part Two - is titled Hippie Conversion - Episode 122- You can scroll back to that story!! Today, I will take you back to the beginning of our story, as we told it when we were 31 and 32 years old. My granddaughter recently said to me, it is such a miracle that you stayed together as a couple. If it wasn't for God saving both of you we wouldn't even be here today. So we must never underestimate the power in prayer, for our loved ones.   This event in West Berlin was in 1982, twelve years after we had orignally met in that very city. Nadja also brought her mother to the meeting, because she wanted her to hear, how Jesus saved her grandson. There were many details in our story, that were new to both of them. I was even surprised listening to Thomas tell about his upbringing. Fortunately, the event was recorded and because we were speaking in German, I will translate some portions of it.

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with a bold challenge: are we being told the full truth about our health—or just the convenient version? John Rush is joined by Dr. Kelly Victory, an independent physician and nationally recognized public health expert, for a wide-ranging and provocative conversation. Should some prescription drugs—like antibiotics—be available over the counter? Would it lower costs and restore patient freedom, or create new risks? Then the discussion pivots to hormone replacement therapy. Is declining testosterone or estrogen just “normal aging,” or are people suffering unnecessarily? And how do you pursue hormone therapy safely—without falling for clinic hype? The hour turns more intense as they examine rising cancer rates, particularly in younger adults. Is it a coincidence, lifestyle, COVID itself, or the mRNA shots? Dr. Kelly outlines concerns about immune disruption, lipid nanoparticles, and batch inconsistencies. What can people do now? Are antibody tests and certain supplements worth considering? If you've ever felt like key details are missing from the mainstream narrative, this episode asks the hard questions—without apology. Websites Mentioned * https://LabCorp.com * https://howbadismybatch.com HOUR 2 Hour 2 turns up the heat. John Rush welcomes Alvin Louie, President of Courage Is a Habit, for a tactical breakdown of what he calls “language deconstruction.” Are cultural debates—especially around transgender ideology—being won not by facts, but by redefining words? Alvin shares a provocative role-play and a six-month social experiment designed to expose what he believes are manipulative debate tactics. How do you avoid getting dragged into the “swamp” and losing moral clarity? Then John pivots to media accountability. With the FCC reportedly scrutinizing The View over equal-time rules, what exactly is the Fairness Doctrine—and could it apply to late-night hosts, too? If one political candidate gets airtime, should the opponent automatically get the same? The hour closes with strong commentary on circumcision, religious doctrine, and a viral controversy involving an Islamic scholar condemning dog ownership.

Grief knocks first, and we don't look away. A young woman's murder and the raw honesty of Psalm 31 set the tone for a frank, searching conversation about sorrow, courage, and what real faithfulness looks like when the world feels unsteady. From there, we move into the harder rooms of Scripture—1 Peter 3 on marriage—and ask how to hold honor, respect, and mutual duty in a culture that often treats vows as suggestions. The goal isn't to win an argument; it's to recover a pattern of life that keeps love sturdy and prayer unhindered.The lens widens with Matthew 25 as we wrestle with works of mercy: feeding the hungry, welcoming the stranger, visiting the sick and imprisoned. Compassion matters, and so does prudence. How do we protect the vulnerable already in our care while serving those at the edges of our attention? We trace that tension with clear eyes, resisting slogans and aiming for lived obedience that counts the cost and still says yes. Along the way, we step into history—a Berlin bombing, a Civil War sailor's courage—to show how ideology without virtue fractures communities, while duty rooted in character preserves them.Finally, we bring it home: men and women, honor and gratitude, strength and tenderness. Households ordered by Scripture become small schools of public virtue. Citizens who fear God choose leaders who tell the truth, steward resources, and remember they will answer to a higher Judge. It's a call to lament honestly, love concretely, and vote with a conscience trained by the Word. If this conversation steadies you or sparks a healthy disagreement, share it with a friend, leave a review, and consider supporting the show so we can keep building thoughtful, faith-filled content together.

Last week was about the music! Today, I am taking a look at the biblical foundation, which was the inspiration for our songs. I have enjoyed listening this week, to an old sermon from Thomas, and then remembered I have all of his notes. I discovered that the church secretary, had put them in order, listing them according to the date and title. I was so glad to find the matching page to that tape. It is fascinating to see his outline with the scriptures and the main points he wanted to make. The thing is, about old tapes, they have to be digitalized to use them. Three years ago, I took my tapes from the 70s, some videos and 8mm films, to be professionally copied. All I could imagine for the podcast stories, was our beginnings in West Berlin, and then in California. If you have been following me since the start of “Finding Purpose”, you have heard excerpts from all of those tapes. In my documentary on YouTube, you have seen a few snippets from the old films. So far it's been a step by step adventure, of putting those treasures, into a podcast.  Believe me, there are a lot more things to uncover, so I try to be diligent in transporting the essence of those days.

„Essen ist eh mein Lieblingsthema“. Was kann es Schöneres geben als einen Gast, der diesen Satz bereits in der 1 Minute des Gesprächs rauslässt. Nilam Farooq, wurde 1989 in West-Berlin geboren als Tochter einer polnischen Mutter und eines pakistanischen Vaters, heißt: Weihnachten und Zuckerfest. Weder Latinum noch Graecum werden dem schlauen Girl genutzt haben, als sie jung ihren eigenen Youtube-Kanal aufbaute, bevor die Schauspielerei sehr schnell sehr viel wichtiger wurde. Contra, Kroymann, jerks oder jetzt Take the Money and Run, eine 6teilige Serie, in der sie die Hauptrolle spielt - Nilam hat das Glück und die Fähigkeiten, sehr unterschiedliche Rollen spielen zu können.

From Amy:You likely know that Renee Nicole Good was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota two Wednesdays ago. ICE is occupying our state because the Supreme Court said that they could. Specifically, Brett Kavanaugh—who gave me flashbacks to a Third Reich judge* in his confirmation hearings—wrote in September that speaking Spanish was probable cause for detention.*Google the White Rose to see for yourself.And now, here we are.ICE was always going to come to Minnesota. Once again, our home state, specifically Minneapolis extending outward, is the focus of Trump's White House. But he doesn't own us. He's never won here. Our Governor Tim Walz ran against his ticket and called him weird. That's why Trump is so fixated on us, and what makes him want to control us so badly.When I say we, I mean Minnesota. I mean all of the kinds of people who love our home state and our neighbors. It's incredibly cold and beautiful here in the winter.We're here because we've chosen to be here.Hours after a friend texted me the shocking news of Renee's death, I recorded a podcast episode with my friend and colleague Terry Newby. Terry's a Twin Cities novelist, playwright, and lawyer who writes about Black history, which is American history. He'd prepared good questions on a related topic, so we carried on and acknowledged the death without sharing details we didn't yet know.We wanted to bear witness with the information we did have.Here's another thing I already knew: Being a white woman (like Renee Nicole Good) in America is not always safe, but it's not immigrants and people of color and queer folks and native people who endanger our freedoms. For many years, I've driven into Minneapolis several times a week and felt incredibly safe there.Paul Wellstone, our beloved late senator, famously said that we all do better when we all do better. Renee Good's final words wouldn't be widely heard until the following day, from the shooter's own phone: "That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you." In return, after he filmed himself shooting her, the coward in a mask called her a f'ing bitch. Then he ran away, went into hiding, and feigned an injury; meanwhile his ICE buddies prevented medical treatment as Renee died. He's still out there.All of this is fact. You can witness it for yourself.As you can tell, I am still angry, and I am not sorry for being angry. The occupation of Minnesota continues in real time. Meanwhile, I've let myself be a witness, making relevant notes to self. Because I know that my books have revealed themselves in good time. Tiny Altars, published in 2023, provides relevant prologue to what's happening right now.Ten years ago, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I walked away from my teaching career, and I'm grateful I walked away when I did. I've been present to pay attention to what's happening in Minnesota and forge connections far beyond her borders.This moment will add up to so much more.My own experience tells me so. Both of my memoirs document everyday intersections with historical moments. In 1987, as an exchange student to West Germany with minimal German fluency, I lived on a street named after two heroes of the German resistance, siblings Sophie and Hans Scholl from the White Rose. They grew up in the Black Forest where my host family lived. I stood on both sides of the notorious Berlin Wall, built in the aftermath of World War II, and I first learned their history further in a West Berlin museum. My comprehensive journal of daily rambling notes to self from those three months helped me to write and publish German Awakening three decades after I returned home from West Germany, a country that no longer exists.Once the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and reunified a divided people, my German literature major no longer made logical sense. Yet my path through language education was the most relevant training I can imagine to meet this moment in American history, as ICE comes down on us all.I haven't been outside much in this cold snap, unlike many brave neighbors in Minneapolis. But I know what it is to live and learn and connect using a non-native-to-me language. That's worth a lot in this moment. I'll find the work I'm called to do. I call myself a Courageous Wordsmith, along with my collaborators. We're in this together.What's the work you're called to do? How are you courageous?I am asking you to not look away from Minneapolis or Greater Minnesota. I wonder, what can you offer to center humanity in this moment? How can you raise awareness so that all of US, everywhere, can do better? You don't have to know the end at the outset.You don't have to be a martyr for the cause. But we all need you. Nothing is wasted.We start wherever we are.All the path of a real-life witness requires is that we're aware: We're willing to ask questions, listen, keep taking notes, and do something Good. Terrance C.

Ambisonics recordings at Checkpoint Charlie, the famous crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold War.Recorded by Anders Vinjar.

We're back next week but until then, we have ANOTHER bonus subscriber episode for you to enjoy.BUT CRUCIALLY, DON'T FORGET!

Thursday 15th January at the Underbelly Boulevard in London's Soho.

Love the show? Have any thoughts? Click here to let us know!Happy New Year, everyone! This week, Kenzie dives into the horrifying crimes of Johann Jack Unterweger, one of Austria's most infamous serial killers—who was shockingly released from prison after already committing murder. Then, Lauren lightens things up (slightly) by sharing some of the wild, reckless, and downright stupid crimes people have gotten themselves into on New Year's Eve. Join us for our final spooky special of 2025!*Towards the beginning of Kenzie's story, she discusses what life was like in Germany at the time with the Berlin Wall splitting it into West and East Berlin. In the episode, it was said that the Allies had East Berlin and the Soviet Union had West Berlin. That is incorrect and it was the other way around.*--Follow us on Social Media and find out how to support A Scary State by clicking on our Link Tree: https://instabio.cc/4050223uxWQAl--Have a scary tale or listener story of your own?

So now, back to telling our story to the German women, in West Berlin in 1982. When I listen to this old recording, I am reminded of the reasons, that my family and I, have persevered, and still live in Germany. I would like to read from 1 Corinthians, Chapter 1, which explains what God's will is for every person. There is no one that is special, we are all equal in His sight, both men and women. He loves each one of us, and has called us to bring Him glory through serving Him.The fact that I chose this, shows how important the scripture was, in my life. It was deeper, than just reading a short verse, for the day. I was taught as a young woman, that the Word of God can transform my mind, and give me a desire to know and understand His purpose. “For you see your calling brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, and things which are not, that he might nullify the things that are, so that no man should glory in His presence. But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God, is made unto us wisdom and righteousness, sanctification and redemption:according as it is written. He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.“This story ends with music and these words: Then one morning, a few days after the Lord took Thomas home, I had a very clear thought, “Start writing the book.” I knew what that book was, our story. Even though I never considered myself a writer, I got started. But it wasn't until seven years later, that I found a German Christian, publishing house. That book eventually, led me 15 years later, to writing this podcast!Documentary: YouTube, Finding Purpose, Kristine van Dooren

Get it here: found.ee/spandau20-011 Spandau20 delivers its eleventh various artists release, a sonically rich and future-facing blend of broken grooves, spatial moods and modern Detroit romanticism. Four tracks, four new angles on the dancefloor. ANNA Z sets the tone with 'Kabeljau', an eclectic, IDM-flirting workout. On the opening track, elastic rhythms stretch and snap while ethereal pads drift overhead, punctured by sudden turns and glitchy surprises. Moody, weird and beautifully unpredictable. Dajusch continues with 'Fallout', diving into shimmering Detroit-inspired chords and pristine production. Clean yet full of soul, its dreamy propulsion moves with effortless optimism. It's a track that lifts heads and hearts without ever losing its club focus. Flip the record and FJAAK welcome you into a breakbeat-infused haze. 'Your Time' pairs groovy percussion and airy atmospheres with those unmistakable powerhouse vocal chops, a warehouse anthem with a gentle cosmic touch, driving yet deeply emotional. Closing the EP, Claus accelerates the pulse. 'Moist Logic' is a faster, more urgent exploration of the techno continuum. Machine funk encoded into a forward-thrusting groove, a sleek atmosphere swirling around a sharp, kinetic core. With SPANDAU20 011, the West-Berlin collective celebrates a hybrid future, rhythmically adventurous, melodically rich and rooted in a love for the dancefloor's most timeless emotions. This record combines Berlin grit with dream-state techno, balancing rough energy and refined emotion across four cuts that leave their mark on the floor.

Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie schreiben ein Buch und es landet auf den Bestsellerlisten. Und jetzt stellen Sie sich vor, Sie schrieben noch mehr Bücher, sagen wir mal an die 20, jedes Jahr eins, und quasi jedes dieser Bücher landet in den Bestsellerlisten. Und dort dann nicht auf Platz 19, was auch schon beachtlich wäre, sondern ganz weit vorne. Wie muss das sein? Wie denkt man über sein eigenes Gehirn, seine eigene Phantasie, wie sehr kann man sich da auf kreativen Nachschub verlassen? Das fragen wir ihn am besten selbst. Der Autor Sebastian Fitzek k am 1971 in West-Berlin zur Welt, studierte sehr kurz Tiermedizin und Jura bis zum 1. Staatsexamen, damit könnte man schon mal das nötige Besteck für's Thriller-Genre beisammen haben. Gut, dann wird er noch Autor, Unterhaltungschef und Chefredakteur beim Radio, bevor er zum Bestsellerautor wird, dessen Bücher millionenfach verkauft und in mehr als 20 Sprachen übersetzt werden.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with author Kasia Jaronczyk about her novel, Voices in the Air (Palimpsest Press, 2025).  What would drive women to risk the lives of their children and innocent people to leave their mother country forever? On April 30, 1982, two women and their families hijack a Polish passenger plane flying from Breslau to Warsaw in a bold attempt to escape Martial Law in Communist Poland and find safety in West Berlin. Among the hijackers are a cotton spinner whose husband wants to avoid a long prison sentence, a schoolteacher with a sick daughter, a pregnant fourteen-year-old who has visions of the Virgin Mary, and an ambitious young filmmaker. Inspired by real events, Voices in the Air is told from the point of view of these four women and a stewardess in love with the married pilot. Will they find happiness beyond the Iron Curtain or was the hijacking not worth the risk? Told using traditional narrative and documentary film-style interviews, Voices in the Air follows the main characters' lives before and after the hijacking, and through real-life events as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the fight for women's rights in modern Poland, the Covid pandemic and the refugee crisis on the Polish-Belarus border. A must-read novel exploring ambiguous moral choice, censorship, emigration, fate and regret. Kasia Jaronczyk is a Polish-Canadian writer, artist and microbiologist. She immigrated to Canada at the age of 14. Her debut short story collection Lemons was published in 2017 by Mansfield Press.

The Berlin Airlift stands as one of the most significant events in Cold War history, a testament to the resilience and determination of the Allies in the face of Soviet adversity. I speak with 98 year old veteran Ralph Dionne, who played a crucial role in this monumental operation. Ralph details the story of the Berlin Airlift and shares his journey from basic training to becoming a flight engineer during the Airlift. His insights provide a unique perspective on the challenges faced by military personnel tasked with delivering food, coal, and other supplies under the threat of Soviet control. The airlift was not just a logistical operation; it was a lifeline for the people of West Berlin, showcasing the unity and resolve of the Western Allies. One of the most touching aspects of Ralph's story is the kindness shown by airmen who dropped candy to children in Berlin, a gesture that became known as Operation Little Vittles. This act of humanity amidst war served to strengthen the bond between the Allies and the citizens of Berlin, fostering hope during a dark time. Throughout the episode, Ralph reflects on the broader implications of the Berlin Airlift, emphasizing how its success prevented the spread of Soviet influence in Western Europe. As we listen to his experiences, we are reminded of the importance of remembering our history and the lessons it holds for the present and future.
