Podcasts about Winston Churchill

British Prime Minister and prominent leader during World War II, Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.”  He could have very well been gleaning truth from a passage that King Solomon wrote centuries earlier that is recorded in Proverbs Chapter Eleven, verse twenty-five.  That verse and this sermon addresses the question, “What do we gain when we give?”  

Political commentator Robert Godden returns to The Adelaide Show with a thesis that cuts to the bone: The South Australian Liberal Party has no realistic chance of winning the forthcoming election. But his essay raises an even more unsettling question: can they realistically ever win another one? This episode doesn’t feature an SA Drink of the Week, allowing more time for a forensic examination of what’s gone wrong with liberalism itself, and the party that bears its name. In the Musical Pilgrimage, Steve shares “Spring Gully Road”, his song chronicling four generations of the Webb family’s beloved pickle company, from Edward McKee’s small brown onions in 1946 to the recent appointment of administrators, drawing a tenuous but poignant parallel to the Liberal Party’s own decline.

Running Sheet: Do The Liberals Have No Chance Of Winning This Forthcoming South Australian Election? 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week No SA Drink Of The Week this week. 00:05:07 Robert Godden Before diving into party politics, Steve and Robert tackle a fundamental question: what is liberalism itself? Drawing on American political philosopher Patrick Deneen’s work (as sampled from the glorious podcast, Econtalk, episode July 9, 2018), they explore how liberalism originally meant self-governance within community, where individuals held themselves accountable within the framework of church and society. Deneen argues that modern liberalism, both classical and progressive, has fractured into two economic camps: classical liberals claiming government interferes with freedom, and progressive liberals arguing that economic inequality prevents people from achieving liberty. Robert offers his working definition: liberalism has always been about “the bigger pie theory”. Classical liberals like John Locke, Adam Smith and John Stewart Mill championed free markets as the path to prosperity for all. But as Robert notes, these philosophers wrote their treatises while people lived in gutters within ten miles of them, suggesting their definitions had blind spots about who they actually represented. The conversation turns to neoliberalism, which Robert describes as taking the apple of classical liberalism and focusing on its core: free market capitalism, fiscal austerity, individual responsibility, and globalisation. The problem? Many neoliberals benefited from generous government support before pulling up the ladder behind them. As Robert puts it, they’re “more like a wild jackal in a wolf’s clothing”, presenting themselves as something more palatable whilst pursuing fundamentally conservative ends. When Steve asks about the overlap between liberalism (lowercase L) and the Liberal Party (uppercase L), Robert’s answer is stark: “The Venn diagram of liberalism and the Liberal Party is not a perfect circle. It’s more like a third overlap.” John Howard’s famous declaration that the Liberal Party is “a broad church” marked both the high point and the beginning of the end. Where Howard allowed diverse opinions united by shared values, today’s party demands conformity. Robert observes you could “literally interchange” Angus Taylor with five other Liberal members and several Nationals, they’ve become so ideologically uniform. Robert shares a revealing personal story from his childhood in Whyalla. At age 12 or 13, he wagged school to attend a lunch where Malcolm Fraser was speaking. After enduring mumbled warnings about Bill Hayden, young Robert lined up afterwards and asked the Prime Minister where he could find out what the government would actually do if re-elected. The dismissive response and perfunctory policy booklet were Robert’s first disillusionment with political rhetoric over substance. This leads to a broader discussion about accountability’s erosion in Australian politics. Robert identifies a turning point: when Jay Weatherill wasn’t held responsible for abuse discovered in South Australian schools because “nobody had told him”. This represented a complete rewriting of Westminster conventions about ministerial responsibility. Compare that to Barry O’Farrell resigning as New South Wales Premier over failing to declare a $300 bottle of wine, or John Howard’s principled approach to the GST, admitting he was wrong, explaining why he’d changed his mind, and taking that position to an election. The discipline of the Fraser and Howard years came from a culture where the party room would discuss issues on merit, then Fraser or Howard would determine the right course, and the party would follow with discipline, not through fear but through shared purpose. Today’s Liberal Party has abandoned that model for something closer to authoritarianism without the competence to make it work. When discussing South Australia specifically, Robert doesn’t hold back about Vincent Tarzia’s challenges. Beyond policy positions, there’s the fundamental problem of presence. Robert recalls a body language seminar by Alan Pease where five people were cast for different film roles based purely on appearance. We can’t help making these visual judgements. Tarzia, Robert notes, is “one of the 5% of the population that never blinks”, creating an unfortunate vampire quality. He looks like “a Muppet version of Dracula”. Combined with a voice lacking joy, he presents as “the joyless undead” when facing off against Peter Malinauskas’s considerable charisma. Robert’s assessment of the Malinauskas government is admirably even-handed for someone with Liberal roots. He calls it “the best government in Australia” whilst adding the qualifier “a totalitarian dictatorship that makes you feel good”. Everything is done Malinauskas’s way, but unlike Putin or Trump, he’s careful never to say anything that isn’t actually true. He might make predictions that don’t pan out, but he won’t barefaced lie, and if an idea isn’t popular, he simply doesn’t voice it. The result is what Robert calls “preshrunk jeans” of political messaging. Robert’s father, a lifelong Liberal voter and member, has only been impressed by two political figures: Gough Whitlam, whose charisma was “absolutely off the chart” despite taking four people to dinner when a Whyalla event was mistakenly under-attended, and Peter Malinauskas, who regularly visits the Whyalla Men’s Shed. This speaks to something fundamental about political success. As Robert observes, great Labor leaders have consistently been better communicators and sellers of vision because their message is easier: “you’re being ripped off by the system, and we’re going to sort it for you” beats “if we govern ourselves, all will be great” in almost any contest. The federal picture offers one glimmer of hope: Victoria’s new opposition leader, Jess Wilson. In her thirties, a lawyer and former business advisor to Josh Frydenberg and the Business Council of Australia, she represents exactly the kind of moderate Liberal who should have been in the party all along but whom the party’s rightward drift has made anomalous. As Robert puts it, “the idea that Jess Wilson should be in the Liberal Party is an idea that is eight years out of date. She should be a teal.” The teals, after all, are liberal party people who haven’t gone down the right-wing rabbit hole. This raises the central question: are there eight to ten members of parliament the federal Liberals could have had? Yes, the teals. “All of those teal candidates could have been Liberal Party candidates and would have been 15 or 20 years ago if they had not wilfully taken this blindness about the climate.” Speaking of climate, Robert dissects Susan Ley’s recent positioning as if she’s discovered that abandoning net zero and embracing fossil fuels will bring electoral victory. The polling suggests otherwise. Among diverse Australians, Labor’s primary vote sits at 46%, the Coalition at 17%. Gen Z voters break 51% Labor, 10% Coalition. The Liberals are “aiming at the wrong target”, trying to chip 10% from groups with 10% when they should be targeting Labor’s 46%. They should be saying “your ideas are great, it’s a pity you’re not smarter, we’re going to get to where you want to get but we’ll do it better.” Instead, they get their facts from Facebook. The cognitive dissonance is staggering. National Party MPs stand up claiming farmers don’t want renewable energy whilst farmers lead the way with innovative approaches: solar panels in fields that collect water, provide shade for sheep grazing underneath, and generate income. Farmers don’t want bushfires or floods, they want to make money. Watch ABC’s Landline, Robert suggests, though the Nationals would dismiss it as left-wing propaganda. Looking ahead, Robert sees no Liberal victory on any horizon in the next five to six years. More likely? “No Liberal Party, or let me put it another way: the Liberal Party not being the opposition.” They’re seriously under threat of other parties overtaking them. Federally, if you separate the Coalition partners, the numbers are nowhere near the historical imbalance where Nationals made up numbers for the Liberals. Now those numbers are close. A One Nation-National coalition would be numerically viable. Victoria represents the critical test. If Jess Wilson’s woeful Liberals manage to topple a deeply unpopular Victorian government by picking the right leader, “that’ll be a critical moment for the Liberals to take that lesson.” Robert’s prediction? “The only reason we have to think they’re incapable of learning is all the evidence.” Robert’s father once said that Don Dunstan’s departure horrified him, not because of policy agreement, but because Dunstan was a strong leader with ideas who made the state feel good about itself. That’s what’s missing from the contemporary Liberal Party: ideas that inspire rather than divide, leaders who build rather than tear down, and the humility to recognise when the world has changed and they haven’t. The conversation closes with Winston Churchill’s 1920s quote distinguishing socialism from liberalism. Robert agrees it was “100% correct” for about 1924, when those ideologies were genuinely competing and distinct. But it’s become a caricature over the intervening century. The quote doesn’t really apply to 2025, when the ideologies have mingled, adapted, and in the case of the Australian Liberal Party, lost their way entirely. 01:14:33 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we play Spring Gully Road, a song written by Steve Davis and performed by Steve Davis & The Virtualosos, chronicling the four-generation story of Spring Gully, one of South Australia’s most beloved food companies. The story begins in 1946 when Edward McKee returned from the war and started growing small brown onions outside his back door on Spring Gully Road. His pickled onions became a South Australian staple. The company expanded under Allen and Eric, then weathered storms under Ross and Kevin’s leadership, before Russ and Tegan faced the modern challenge of cheap imports and changing market appetites. Steve reveals a personal connection: his colleague Domenic at Funlife Fitness in Ingle Farm remembers his father growing small onions and cucumbers, taking sacks to Spring Gully weekly to be weighed and paid. It was simply part of the fabric of South Australian life. In full disclosure, Steve is friends with Russell Webb, who along with Tegan led the company through its recent challenges before administrators were appointed. Most believe it’s written off and gone, but Steve holds hope for a way forward. They were doing innovative things to fight back against retailers bringing in cheap overseas alternatives, gutting the market for local sovereign food production capability. The song’s folk-influenced simplicity captures something essential about generational enterprise, family legacy, and the challenge of maintaining local production in a globalised economy. The repeated refrain, “Turn the earth, turn the earth when it’s harvest time, pick the bounty and preserve it in your sweetly seasoned brine”, becomes a meditation on the cycles of growth, harvest, and preservation that sustained Spring Gully through good years and hard years. Steve offers a tenuous but poignant link to the episode’s political discussion: the Liberal and Country League, precursor to the modern Liberal Party in South Australia, formed in 1932 and became the South Australian Division of the Liberal Party in 1945. Spring Gully started in 1946. Now in 2025, we have administrators appointed for Spring Gully, and Robert Godden suggesting you might as well call them in for the Liberal Party as well. Both represent South Australian institutions facing existential questions about their future in a changed world. Both have served their communities for generations. Both are confronting the reality that what worked for decades may not work anymore. And both deserve more than a quiet fade into history.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is Empires of the Future, conversations to encourage the Church in a time of change.   We are at the front end of a wave of churches closing in the United States.  But what does it mean when a local church closes its doors? What can be done about it? In this episode, we examine an article from Axios.com by Russell Contreras and consider these questions and more. https://www.axios.com/2025/10/03/us-churches-close-religious-shift-christians "The Empires of the future will be Empires of the Mind." - Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill (1874-1965) utnämning till marinminister 1939 måste vara världshistoriens största politiska comeback. Den möjliggjordes av att Churchill tidigt varnat för Hitler när den politiska majoriteten ville har fred till nästa vilket pris som helst.När andra världskriget bröt ut öppnade det för Churchills återkomst till politikens högsta ämbeten i Storbritannien. Kriget ökade hans livskänsla och han tog sig an arbetet som marinminister med energi och entusiasm.Trots att han vara medansvarig för en misslyckad operation att ockupera Norge för att förhindra svensk malmexport till Tyskland blev fiaskot biljetten till premiärministerposten. Något han strävat efter sedan unga år.Churchill var den enda ledare som kunde vinna bred uppslutning och bildade i maj 1940 en samlingsregering, i vilken även liberaler och arbetarpartiet ingick. Det enda löfte Churchill kunde ge var en tid av ”blod och möda, svett och tårar”. Hans tal till nationen och världen under kriget satte tonen för det brittiska motståndet mot Hitlertyskland.Trots Winston Churchills många fel, brister och misstag under andra världskriget går det inte att bortse från hans centrala betydelse för att Storbritannien inte dukade under av trycket från den oövervinnliga tyska krigsmaskinen. När andra brittiska regeringsmedlemmar ville förhandla med Hitler vägrade Churchill att böja sig. Churchills vägran att förhandla med Hitler avgjorde krigets utgång.I avsnitt 44 av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med författaren Bengt Liljegren som har skrivit flera biografier om historiska personer, bland annat om Winston Churchill, samt Erik Hedling är professor i filmvetenskap vid Lunds universitet med ett särskilt intresse för Winston Churchill.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12:1 Imagine a marathon runner pushing through the final miles, each step fueled by determination and hope. Just like that runner, every day we have the opportunity to take another step toward our goals, knowing that the finish line is drawing nearer. The Bible encourages us in Hebrews 12:1-2 to run with perseverance, shedding anything that may slow us down and fixing our eyes on Jesus. His example of unwavering commitment inspires us to keep moving forward. Perseverance is not merely a prolonged effort; it's like a series of short races, each one requiring focus and grit. Walter Elliot beautifully captures this in his quote about perseverance. Every time we choose to push on, even when we may feel weary, we are winning those short races that ultimately lead to our desired outcome.  Remember, "The good you do is a quiet marathon; therefore, pace your hope, and the finish line will find you." Galatians 6:9 says, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Think about Nehemiah, who faced many obstacles while rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. His unwavering spirit in the face of opposition serves as a powerful testament to what can be achieved through perseverance. Nehemiah didn't allow his vision to be derailed; instead, he pressed on, motivated by a clear purpose, and as a result, completed the wall. This story resonates with our own journeys, reminding us to stay steadfast in our pursuits. Reflect on your own experiences; how often has perseverance led you to unexpected success? Perhaps it was in your career, a personal project, or a relationship that grew stronger through ongoing effort. Each of these moments contributes to your story of resilience and achievement. Remember, “Success is not final; failure is not fatal,” as Winston Churchill wisely stated. It is the courage to continue that defines you and your path ahead.  James 1:12 says, "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." Prayer for the Day!Dear Lord, grant us the strength to continue this journey with steadfast hearts. May we embrace our purpose with joy and conviction, knowing that our finish line is near. Help us to remember that each step is a victory and that we are never alone in our pursuits. In Jesus' name. Amen.” Keep going; your finish line is indeed within reach!

Förväntningarna var höga på den unge Winston Churchill (1874–1965), som föddes in i den brittiska högadeln. Men bakom aristokratins fasad dolde sig ett besvärligt barn som både familj och släkt gärna undvek.Föräldrarna var sällan närvarande under hans uppväxt. Fadern, den välkände politikern Lord Randolph Churchill, hade en särskilt kylig relation till sonen och avled tidigt, vilket lämnade ett tomrum i Winstons liv.I denna repris av podcasten Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med författaren Bengt Liljegren, lärare och historiker som har skrivit flera biografier om historiska personer, bland annat om Winston Churchill. Dessutom medverkar Churchill-kännaren Erik Hedling som är professor i filmvetenskap vid Lunds universitet.För att förstå hur denne bångstyrige och excentriske yngling kunde utvecklas till en ledargestalt som hela världen samlades kring när den fria världens existens hotades av nazismen under andra världskriget, måste vi blicka mot hans formativa år.Churchill vantrivdes på de engelska internatskolor han skickades till redan som åttaåring. Redan som barn var han en självständig och upprorisk själ, som bland annat vägrade lära sig klassiska språk som grekiska och latin. Trots en uppenbar intellektuell kapacitet hade han svårt att prestera i skolan. Först efter flera försök lyckades han bli antagen till militärhögskolan Sandhurst – en miljö där han för första gången fann trivsel och struktur.Churchill hade tidigt i livet satt som mål att en dag bli premiärminister, och hans envishet gjorde att han gång på gång kunde resa sig efter motgångar. Som ung vuxen valde han ett äventyrligt liv, först som officer och sedan som krigskorrespondent – med uppdrag på Kuba, i Sudan och under boerkriget i Sydafrika.Winston Churchill, som blev Storbritanniens premiärminister under andra världskriget, betraktas som en av världshistoriens mest inflytelserika personer. Enligt Wikipedia – som rangordnar historiska gestalter efter omfattningen och länkningen av deras artiklar – är han världshistoriens femte viktigaste person.Bild: Den unge Winston Churchill i uniform som underlöjtnant vid 4th Queen's Own Hussars i Aldershot år 1895, i början av sin militära karriär.

On Armistice Day, we bring you an episode of Rosebud which opens at the Garden of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, where Gyles meets veteran and double amputee turned skydiver Al Hodgson. We then take you to Salisbury, and an interview with Sir Nicholas Soames, himself a former soldier who later became a longstanding Conservative member of parliament, recorded live at Godolphin School in aid of the Edward Heath Charitable Foundation. Sir Nicholas talks to Gyles about his remarkable family: his grandfather was Sir Winston Churchill. We hear what Churchill was like as a grandfather and family man, about his unusual daily routine, and about his immense courage. We hear about Clementine Churchill, and about Sir Nicholas's parents - Christopher and Mary Soames, and their distinguished careers. This is a fascinating episode about a great family who were so central to the history of Britain in the twentieth century. Sir Edward Heath's former home in Salisbury Cathedral Close, Arundells, is open to the public and is well worth a visit. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Winston Churchill was clearly one of the most impactful persons of the 20th century—that's why so much has been written about him and his doings. But he made many mistakes, some of them huge. And that's one reason why reading about Churchill can be so fruitful. Join Kevin as we dive into the topic of intentionally learning from folks doing badly and the inadequacy of lesser solutions—with that discussion ranging from Churchill and Britain to John the Baptist and Jesus! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

To what extent does the course of history turn on the force of individual personalities? It's a question that looms large when examining the unlikely alliance forged between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union that ultimately triumphed over the Axis powers in the Second World War. Danny Bird speaks with author Tim Bouverie to explore the complex, often uneasy rapport between Winston Churchill, Franklin D Roosevelt and Josef Stalin. Tim delves into the secrets, suspicions and towering ambitions that defined this remarkable chapter in wartime diplomacy, revealing how the fragile unity among these three leaders not only shaped the path to victory but also laid the uneasy foundations of the postwar world order.

En los albores del siglo XX, el káiser alemán desafió al poder naval de los británicos con una nueva y majestuosa flota. ¿Quién dominaría los mares del mundo? La respuesta se decidiría en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Después de la derrota de los británicos en Coronel, una batalla que costó las vidas de 1.700 marinos, Winston Churchill exigió una venganza implacable. Frente a las Islas Malvinas, casi la totalidad de la flota alemana fue hundida junto con 2.200 hombres. Solo dos cruceros, el Dresden y el Emden, consiguieron escapar. Entonces, Winston Churchill ofreció una recompensa por ellos, convirtiéndolos en los dos barcos más buscados de los Siete Mares. En los helados fiordos de la Patagonia y en el calor tropical de los Mares del Sur, las dos tripulaciones lucharon por la supervivencia. Después de una dramática cacería, los dos fueron hundidos. Sin embargo, la mayor parte de la tripulación escapó a la muerte y logró volver a casa sana y salva. Materiales de archivo descubiertos recientemente sobre algunas batallas navales decisivas, informes y diarios personales permiten una reconstrucción precisa de los hechos. Por primera vez, entrevistas con los descendientes e historiadores militares, imágenes de escenas de acción auténticas, así como recreaciones extraordinarias, nos permiten hacer justicia a estas dos apasionantes historias.

BBC Winston Churchill-Americas Thanksgiving Day 1944-11-23

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, Jonathan Thomas takes listeners on a journey through significant locations in Britain associated with Sir Winston Churchill. The discussion begins with key sites in London, including the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, and the Cabinet War Rooms, highlighting their importance in Churchill's life and career. The conversation then shifts to notable places outside of London, such as Blenheim Palace and Chartwell, which were pivotal in shaping Churchill's identity. The episode concludes with a look at international connections to Churchill's legacy, including museums and archives in the United States.

The Houses of Parliament served as a key location for Churchill's political career. Chartwell was not just a home but a source of inspiration for Churchill. Blenheim Palace is significant as Churchill's birthplace and family heritage site. The Cabinet War Rooms provide insight into Churchill's leadership during WWII. Churchill's speeches were often first delivered in the House of Commons. The Churchill Archives at Cambridge is a valuable resource for research. Churchill's legacy extends beyond the UK, with significant sites in the US. The Wallace Collection will host a major exhibition of Churchill's paintings in 2026. Visiting Churchill-related sites offers a deeper understanding of his impact on history. Sound Bites "If he had a single place of work that was most important to him, it would be the Houses of Parliament and the Palace of Westminster." "He genuinely had a great love and affection for the Houses of Parliament. He thought they were beautiful. He thought they were the heart of the empire. He thought that it was an immense privilege to work there." "Many people don't know that when you hear recordings of Churchill's speeches, most of those were actually recorded after the war." "He famously said that a day away from Chartwell is a day wasted." "To him, the manor house represented the England that he loved the most." "Chartwell is not a grand house. It's not like Blenheim Palace. Blenheim Palace is a palace. Chartwell is a family home." "He produced much of his literary output that he would eventually win the Nobel Prize for literature for." "I should do a whole podcast on Young Churchill because some of the stuff that he did is wild." "We're going to guide you through the places, why they're important to Churchill, and then give you some visiting tips in case you would like to visit."

En los albores del siglo XX, el káiser alemán desafió al poder naval de los británicos con una nueva y majestuosa flota. ¿Quién dominaría los mares del mundo? La respuesta se decidiría en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Después de la derrota de los británicos en Coronel, una batalla que costó las vidas de 1.700 marinos, Winston Churchill exigió una venganza implacable. Frente a las Islas Malvinas, casi la totalidad de la flota alemana fue hundida junto con 2.200 hombres. Solo dos cruceros, el Dresden y el Emden, consiguieron escapar. Entonces, Winston Churchill ofreció una recompensa por ellos, convirtiéndolos en los dos barcos más buscados de los Siete Mares. En los helados fiordos de la Patagonia y en el calor tropical de los Mares del Sur, las dos tripulaciones lucharon por la supervivencia. Después de una dramática cacería, los dos fueron hundidos. Sin embargo, la mayor parte de la tripulación escapó a la muerte y logró volver a casa sana y salva. Materiales de archivo descubiertos recientemente sobre algunas batallas navales decisivas, informes y diarios personales permiten una reconstrucción precisa de los hechos. Por primera vez, entrevistas con los descendientes e historiadores militares, imágenes de escenas de acción auténticas, así como recreaciones extraordinarias, nos permiten hacer justicia a estas dos apasionantes historias.

Winston Churchill demeure l'un des visages les plus emblématiques du XXᵉ siècle. Premier ministre britannique pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il incarne la résistance face à l'Allemagne nazie. Ses discours galvanisants, son courage et sa détermination ont fait de lui un symbole de liberté. Pourtant, derrière cette figure héroïque se cache un homme dont certaines positions politiques et morales suscitent aujourd'hui une profonde controverse.Car si Churchill fut le sauveur de la démocratie européenne, il fut aussi, selon de nombreux historiens, le produit et le défenseur d'un empire colonial profondément inégalitaire. En 1937, lors de la Commission Peel chargée d'examiner l'avenir de la Palestine mandataire, il déclara sans détour qu'il ne voyait « aucun tort » à ce que des peuples autochtones — les Aborigènes d'Australie ou les Amérindiens d'Amérique — aient été remplacés par une « race plus forte et de meilleure qualité ». Pour lui, la domination britannique n'était pas seulement légitime : elle relevait d'un ordre naturel des choses.Mais c'est en Inde, joyau de l'Empire, que ses choix politiques ont eu les conséquences les plus tragiques. En 1943, une famine d'une ampleur catastrophique frappe la province du Bengale. Environ trois millions de personnes meurent de faim. Les causes sont multiples — mauvaises récoltes, guerre, blocages des transports —, mais les archives montrent que Churchill refusa sciemment d'envoyer les cargaisons de blé disponibles dans les colonies voisines. Il justifia ce choix par des considérations racistes : selon lui, « les Indiens se reproduisent comme des lapins » et « étaient de toute façon mal nourris ».Pendant que des familles entières mouraient dans les rizières, le gouvernement britannique continuait d'exporter du riz indien pour nourrir ses troupes et ses alliés. Interpellé par ses ministres sur la gravité de la situation, Churchill répondit par des sarcasmes : il demanda pourquoi Gandhi n'était pas encore mort de faim.Aujourd'hui, ces propos ternissent l'image d'un héros longtemps présenté sans nuance. Pour beaucoup d'historiens, il faut reconnaître Churchill dans toute sa complexité : un stratège exceptionnel et un orateur de génie, mais aussi un homme pétri de préjugés raciaux et d'un colonialisme brutal.Ainsi, l'héritage de Churchill reste double. Il fut le défenseur du monde libre… mais pas de tous les peuples libres. Une gloire bâtie sur la victoire, et une ombre que l'Histoire, désormais, ne peut plus ignorer. Hébergé par Acast.

En 1943, un barco camuflado cruzó el océano con una misión secreta: entregar un ornitorrinco a Churchill. El plan terminó en tragedia, encubrimiento y décadas de rumores. La verdad sobre su final se conoce ahora, 80 años después.

In this episode, Leslie sits down with writer and editor Daisy Prince to explore the real history behind Outlander. Daisy—whose work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Vogue, The Telegraph, and Tatler—takes us deep into the fascinating story of Clan Fraser, the real-life Scottish family that inspired the hit series.This conversation spans centuries — from 14th-century Scotland, when Sir Simon Fraser fought alongside William Wallace against the English, to the real events and characters that inspired Outlander. Among them is the infamous 11th Lord Lovat, whose beheading famously gave rise to the phrase “laughing my head off.”Leslie and Daisy also talk about the dashing Brigadier Simon “Shimi” Fraser, a World War II hero who led his men into the D-Day invasion—bagpiper and all. Shimi had a bounty on his head from Hitler, and Winston Churchill once described him as “the most beautiful man who ever cut a throat.”If you're an Outlander fan (or just love a good Scottish saga), you're going to love this one.

The man voted Britain's greatest of all time started as a struggling, distracted student who felt "completely outclassed and left behind." Winston Churchill battled what he called "the Black Dog" his entire life, severe depression that brought crushing mood swings and dark periods. Yet this same man led England to victory in World War II and became an international hero. In this episode, we explore how Churchill's personal battles with his own "dark forces" gave him the deep understanding of human struggle that allowed him to inspire an entire nation. Discover why his famous words "never give in, never, never, never" weren't just political rhetoric, but hard-won wisdom from someone who learned to overcome his own overwhelming internal enemies first.

The Allied campaign in Italy stalled, and British and American leaders were searching for a way to break the stalemate on the peninsula. Winston Churchill suggested an amphibious invasion behing enemy lines.

Aretha Franklin sang about it. Rodney Dangerfield joked about it. And Jackie Robinson famously said, like him or not, he'd earned it. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. We are living in a period where respect is a neglected virtue — too often sacrificed in public discourse, online exchanges, and everyday interactions. Robert L. “Bob” Dilenschneider aims to change that, even if only one interaction at a time. Bob is the founder of The Dilenschneider Group, which, since October 1991, has provided strategic advice and counsel to Fortune 500 companies, professional organizations, trade associations, educational institutions, and leading families and individuals around the world. Bob's newest book, his 20th, is Respect: How to Change the World One Interaction at a Time. The book is a timely reflection on the urgent need for civility in an era of deep division. Drawing on both his life and professional experience and the wisdom of 13 admired leaders, Respect outlines five practical strategies for restoring civility and rebuilding mutual understanding. “It can feel like the world is broken,” Bob acknowledges in his book. The solution, he believes, does not rest with political leaders or other highly influential individuals but with individuals, regular citizens, who can take steps to restore a culture of respectfulness.

Winston Churchill famously remarked that the threat of the German U-Boats was the only thing that had “really frightened” him during World War Two. The U-Boats certainly claimed a bitter harvest among Allied shipping: nearly 3,000 ships were sunk, for a total tonnage of over 14 million tonnes, nearly 70% of Allied shipping losses in all theatres of the war. With justification, then, they are an integral part of the traditional narrative of the Battle of the Atlantic; a story of technological brilliance, dramatic sinkings, life and death, and – of course – the sinister, unseen threat of the U-Boats themselves. For Allied seamen during the war, the U-Boat was a hidden menace, a faceless killer lurking beneath the waves; and the urgent needs of survival afforded them little time or energy to consider the challenges and privations of their enemy. History, however, affords us that time and energy, and any pretence of comprehensiveness demands that we consider what life was like for the crews of those most claustrophobic vessels; packed into a steel hull, at the mercy of the enemy, of the elements – and of basic physics. Germany's U-Boat crews posted the highest per-capita losses of any combat arm during World War Two. Some 30,000 German submariners were killed – over 75% of the total number deployed – the vast majority of whom have no grave except the seabed. Using archival sources, unpublished diaries and existing memoir literature, Wolfpack: Inside Hitler's U-Boat War (Basic Books, 2025) by Roger Moorhouse gives the U-Boatmen back their voice, allowing their side of the narrative to be aired in a comprehensive manner for the first time. With that testimony, Wolfpack takes the reader from the heady early days of the war, when U-Boat crews were buoyed with optimism about their cause, through to the challenges of meeting the Allied counterthreat, to the final horror of defeat, when their submarines were captured by the enemy or scuttled in ignominy. Using the U-Boatmen's own voices to punctuate an engaging narrative, it tells their story; of courage, certainly, but also of fear, privation and – ultimately – failure. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Winston Churchill said, ‘We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.' But being generous doesn't make us healthier or protect us from calamities. Pastor Dan considers why we might want to be givers.

Most Amazon sellers chase precision when they should be chasing progress.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack what it really takes to simplify your systems, trust your numbers, and finally reach the point where the business can pay you.   They break down three powerful frameworks that connect structure, clarity, and growth:   The Three ASIN Types: How to turn chaos into clarity and start treating listings like data, not drama. Profit Clarity: Why chasing perfect numbers kills momentum and how discipline compounds faster than data accuracy. The Profit Profile Framework: What to do when you are profitable on paper but still not getting paid.   As Winston Churchill reminded us, “Perfection is the enemy of progress.”   This episode is your reminder that the fastest path to clarity and cash flow is testing more ASINs, not perfecting the spreadsheet.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Is it true that IP complaints are really no big deal?"   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/A8HnqMH8WoI   Show note LINKS:    SilentSalesMachine.com - Text the word “free” to 507-800-0090 to get a free copy of Jim's latest book in audio about building multiple income streams online (US only) or visit https://silentjim.com/free11   SilentJim.com/bookacall - Schedule a FREE, customized and insightful consultation with my team or me (Jim) to discuss your e-commerce goals and options.   My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam - Join 82,000 + Facebook members from around the world who are using the internet creatively every day to launch and grow multiple income streams through our exciting PROVEN strategies!

Send us a textIn this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we sit down with Evan Siegel, Vice President of AI at eGain, where he leads the development of next-generation AI-powered conversational guidance. With a rich background that includes 16 years at Wells Fargo leading customer experience and contact center innovation, Evan brings deep insight into how technology can drive better service outcomes without losing the human touch.Evan's career journey began in entrepreneurship — running a successful residential painting business that grew to 300 employees before he sold it and pursued an MBA at Stanford. His experience at Wells Fargo honed his expertise in solving large-scale customer pain points and improving first-contact resolution in massive contact centers. Those experiences led him to eGain, a company dedicated to providing “the right answer to the right person at the right time, in the right channel.”Evan explains that eGain's AI-powered knowledge management platform helps companies clean, update, and centralize information so agents can quickly find accurate answers. This not only improves customer satisfaction but also transforms efficiency—some clients have seen up to 37% improvement in first-contact resolution, a 30-point rise in Net Promoter Score, and 50% reduction in training time. For instance, eGain supports the U.S. Veterans Administration, the country's largest healthcare provider, to deliver consistent, fast, and empathetic service across millions of interactions.A key theme in the discussion is balancing technology and empathy. Evan emphasizes that AI doesn't replace human connection—it enhances it by freeing up employees' mental space to focus on emotional intelligence and rapport-building. By handling the “how” of issue resolution, AI lets people focus on the “who.”He also shares how eGain builds knowledge bases for each company by analyzing customer inquiries, extracting top issues using AI, and rewriting existing materials to align with best practices for clarity and accessibility. This process—once lengthy and manual—can now be done in days or weeks.When asked about tools he can't live without, Evan points to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, which he uses daily as brainstorming and writing partners. His motto: “AI won't replace me, but someone who knows how to use AI better than me will.”Evan also discusses two books that shaped him: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, which taught him the power of genuine curiosity in relationships, and William Manchester's three-part biography of Winston Churchill, which inspired lessons in conviction, communication, and strategic thinking.Today, what excites Evan most is collaborative leadership—bringing teams together to brainstorm, check egos at the door, and make the best collective decisions. His guiding philosophy: “I don't need to be the smartest person in the room.

Abbey Road Studios in London, England was the world's first purpose-built recording studio. Opened way back in 1931, this building and the people inside have been at the cutting edge of recording technology for over 90s years. Abbey Road Studios is most famous for being where The Beatles recorded almost all of their music, but it also drove innovation with stereo recording, multitracks, editing, and the shift from analog to digital recording.  In addition to all of those amazing Beatles records – which we'll get to – some other stuff recorded at Abbey Road includes Dark Side of the Moon and albums from Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Oasis, the Hollies, Radiohead, and the Zombies. Music scores for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Marvel movies, and video game soundtracks for Halo, Call of Duty, and World of Warcraft. They even recorded some of Winston Churchill's famous speeches during World War II to help keep morale high.  From classical roots to rock rebellion, Abbey Road's always been ahead of the game, rewriting rules along the way. So kick back, feel the beat, and join us as we explore the studio that turned sound into a revolution. Let's roll! Episode Playlist Check out our episode playlist ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠h⁠ere⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

A hostage return and the signing of a cease-fire agreement signal a new chapter in the long-running dream of peace in the Middle East. Did it matter that the key negotiators, on the US side, were financiers and real-estate developers rather than scions of America's diplomatic corps? Russell Berman, a Hoover Institution senior fellow and codirector of Hoover's Working Group on the Middle East and the Islamic World, joins GoodFellows regulars Niall Ferguson and John Cochrane to discuss the sturdiness of the Trump White House's 20-point peace plan, the futures of Hamas and the Abraham Accords, the likelihood of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reliving Winston Churchill's fate (a successful wartime leader rejected by a war-weary electorate), plus whether the “real estate-ism” approach to diplomacy is applicable to President Trump's upcoming meetings with his Russian and Chinese counterparts. After that, Niall and John reflect on the likelihood of a market crash (it is October, after all), the chances of a full-fledged tariff war with China, the merits of a US-Argentina currency swap, plus an ominous warning from the International Monetary Fund regarding global debt. Finally, the fellows salute the legendary economist Thomas Sowell, the subject of a Hoover Institution tribute later this month.   Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

In this episode, Scott Becker reflects on a quote by Winston Churchill.

Most people think their best years are behind them, but Winston Churchill's greatest victories didn't even begin until after sixty. When the world was collapsing under Nazi tyranny, he rose from years of rejection and failure to become the voice that turned history . His story proves that God's timing is never late and your preparation season is never wasted. Churchill's journey will inspire you to see how every setback can be shaping the convergence moment when your purpose, experience, and destiny finally align.   Podcast Episode 1900: How Churchill's Greatest Hour Came after 60 - Discover His Secret to Convergence! | don't miss this!

"At long last, Mr. President.”—Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill This is the story of the second year of WWII and the United States' response.  As the war enters its second full year, things are looking dire for Britain: Germany has forced France into submission, the Blitz is in full swing, and the cash-strapped nation is running out of money to pay for US aid. Lend-Lease, or H.R. 1776, is the proposed solution; it'll allow Franklin to transfer munitions to “any country whose defense the President deems vital to the defense of the US.” But there is stiff opposition. Is the language too dictatorial? Does it make entering the war unavoidable? As Americans discuss the bill across the country, famed aviator Charles “Lucky Lindy” Lindbergh will argue against it, while recently defeated 1940 presidential candidate Wendell Willkie will argue for it. Nor are they the only ones disagreeing: workers are striking in record numbers. Building an “arsenal of democracy” means labor and business will have to settle their differences. Meanwhile, as FDR and Winston Churchill secretly meet for the first time in the frigid climes of the northern Atlantic, the Army and Navy are drilling down to brass tacks—what would it really mean if America enters the war? How many men would the nation need in uniform? Could American production cope with wartime demands? Pragmatic American leaders are preparing and planning just in case, mostly with their eyes on Germany … but increasingly on Japan. Relations are eroding swiftly. Perhaps Uncle Sam's greatest immediate threat isn't across the Atlantic but the Pacific … ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.
