Podcasts about Winston Churchill

Gyles talks the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and as this is a Rosebud conversation, we begin by hearing about Justin's fascinating family story. We hear about Justin's father - the charming, but alcoholic, Gavin Welby. About his mother, Jane Portal, who had worked as Winston Churchill's secretary and also struggled with alcohol addiction. About how, in the midst of chaos at home, Justin found solace in books, school, his grandmother, and eventually, in God. We hear about Justin's spiritual journey, about reading the Bible from cover-to-cover by the light of an oil lamp, about 'coming to faith' and about meeting his wife, Caroline, through the church. We hear about the birth of their first daughter, Johanna, and her tragic death in a road accident at only seven months old. We hear about Justin's career - first in the oil industry, and later in the Church of England. We hear about becoming the one hundred and fifth Archbishop of Canterbury, and some of the high points of that job. We hear about the shocking discovery Justin made about his family history in 2016.Gyles also talks, in some detail, to Justin about his resignation in 2024 - about his regrets, his learnings, and how that chastening experience has affected him. This is a long, thought-provoking and we hope, interesting conversation about failure, humanity and the possibility of redemption.Our thanks to Justin Welby.Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube here.

Mitten im Zweiten Weltkrieg entwickeln US-Präsident Roosevelt und der britische Premier Churchill die Atlantik‑Charta. Das Dokument formuliert erstmals die Vision einer neuen Weltorganisation und wird zum Grundstein der UNO, die 1945 gegründet wird. Wie kam es dazu? Im August 1941 treffen sich Franklin D. Roosevelt und Winston Churchill im Geheimen vor Neufundland, um mitten im Zweiten Weltkrieg über die Zukunft nach dem Krieg zu beraten. Aus diesem Treffen entsteht die AtlantikCharta, die erstmals gemeinsame Grundsätze für eine friedlichere Welt festhält und später zum zentralen Fundament der UNO wird. In den folgenden Jahren schliessen sich 26 Staaten der Erklärung der Vereinten Nationen an, die direkt auf dieser Charta aufbaut. 1945 verabschieden Delegierte aus 51 Ländern in San Francisco die UNOCharta, die am 24. Oktober in Kraft tritt und die neue Weltorganisation begründet. Gleichzeitig löst sich der Völkerbund 1946 auf, weil er den Frieden nicht sichern konnte, und überträgt seine Aufgaben an die UNO. Die UNO erhält mit dem Sicherheitsrat und den Friedenstruppen erstmals Instrumente, um bei Bedrohungen des Friedens verbindlich eingreifen zu können, etwas, das dem Völkerbund fehlte. Als neuer Hauptsitz setzt sich New York durch, während Genf europäisches Zentrum bleibt und weiterhin wichtige multilaterale Aufgaben übernimmt. Die Episode des SRF-Podcasts «Geschichte» zeigt, wie aus dem Scheitern des Völkerbunds eine stärkere Organisation entsteht, die den internationalen Frieden sichern soll und bis heute die Weltpolitik prägt. ____________________ Vom Ersten Weltkrieg zu Woodrow Wilsons Vision, vom kleinen Genf zum Sitz einer globalen Organisation: Diese Serie erzählt, wie der Völkerbund entstand, scheiterte – und wie daraus die UNO wurde. ____________________ In dieser Episode zu hören: · Pierre-Etienne Bourneuf, wissenschaftlicher Berater des Archivs und der Bibliothek der UNO in Genf · Chloé Maurel, Historikerin und Buchautorin · Fredy Gsteiger, internationaler Korrespondent Radio SRF ____________________ Recherche, Produktion und Moderation: Silvan Zemp, Anaïs Kien (RTS) ____________________ Literatur: Maurel, Chloé (2015): Histoire des idées des Nations unies.

This is Empires of the Future, conversations to encourage the Church in a time of change.  The Lure of Danger and the Price of Achievement Alex Honnold is a name some of us have come to know in the past few years for his death-defying climbs of both man-made and natural wonders.  His "free solo" climb of natural wonder El Capitan with no safety gear leads us to ask important questions about danger, challenge, and achievement, while also considering sports of various kinds and how they fit into a life well-lived.  We use Rusty McKie's article at the Gospel Coalition as a reference point.  https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/achieve-die-reflections-free-solo/ "The Empires of the future will be Empires of the Mind." - Winston Churchill 

Winston Churchill sought something like immortality through the power of his words.Wednesday • 2/18/2026 •Ash Wednesday, Year Two This morning's Scriptures are: Psalm 32; Psalm 143; Amos 5:6–15; Hebrews 12:1–14; Luke 18:9–14  This morning's Canticles are: following the OT reading, Canticle 11 (“The Third Song of Isaiah,” Isaiah 60:1-3,11a,14c,18-19, BCP, p. 87); following the Epistle reading, Canticle 16 (“The Song of Zechariah,” Luke 1:68-79, BCP, p. 92)

Chapter 5: The Universal Court of Conscience Is it right for Lula to use a samba school? What if the greatest thinkers in history were the judges? We created a hypothetical “Universal Court of Conscience” with eight timeless judges: Justification for the judge's vote Plato suspends the parade: "If the Idea already contains the vice, allowing its execution corrupts justice itself." Marcus Aurelius: "Allow parades. Preventing action out of fear is passion, not reason. Punish later, if necessary." Nietzsche annulled the case: "Contradiction proves that there is no justice, only the will to power." Benjamin Franklin said: "Allow parades. Those who abdicate essential liberty to buy temporary security deserve neither." Jesus Christ allows (with compassion): "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Cyrus the Great suspended: "The order and peace of the kingdom must come first; review the content beforehand." Sun Tzu said (strategically): "Attack weakness later (punishment) than strength (censorship)." Winston Churchill said: "A democracy that fears a parade has already begun to die." Final result: 5 allowed, 2 suspended, 1 annulled.#ProjetoCardinal#EuropeanBanking#PrivateAdvisory#CapitalGovernance#CrossBorderInvestmentAssetStructuringWealthPreservationInvestInBrazilInstitutionalStandard

Today, we're talking about grit and determination, which go a long way in helping find success in life. And they're contagious.Winston Churchill was almost 70 when his country needed him most, when he stared down Hitler's war machine. The British Prime Minister's signature line was, “We shall fight on the beaches,” but the essence of his message came with these words, “We shall go on to the end.” Luke 18:1 says, “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” And it is a partnership because God keeps His word. Philippians 1:6, “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”There's a great practical application in scripture. These old words that are always new were not meant to be just some nice thing to say. God does what He says he will do. If you feel like you have no way out of your troubles today, tell God that. Remember the scriptural promises and remind yourself that countless people have done the same and come out okay on the other side. Don't give up, and see what the Lord will do. Let's pray. Lord, we give you our fear and our uncertainty. We can't cope with the situation we're in alone, but we trust you to give us strength not to quit. We believe for the victory over these circumstances, and God, we find rest in your mercies. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

As bombs dropped and enemies threatened to take over his country, Britain's prime minister, Winston Churchill, understood that the war would not be won by giving up the fight. Surrender is not an option if you plan to win. In a world where marriage is under attack by pressures outside and inside the Christian church, God's people cannot abdicate. We have a responsibility to ourselves, to our world, and to our God to stand strong in our marital commitment. But how can we do that?

In this episode, the 125th anniversary of the birth of Brendan Bracken, the Irish born adventurer who became Winston Churchill's greatest supporter, with biographer Charles Lysaght; the 400 year fight to end slavery in the Americas, with historian Carrie Gibson; and treasure and ghosts in the London clay, with author Victoria Shepherd.

Fear silences more people than failure ever could. In this episode of Unstoppable Mindset, I sit down with world-class speaking coach and author Robert Begley to explore why trust, clarity, and moral character matter more than polished delivery. Robert shares how his journey from a stage-frightened kid in New York to coaching powerful speakers was shaped by Aristotle's timeless principles of ethos, pathos, and logos. Together, we talk about why audiences want conversation, not performance, how stories build trust faster than facts, and why learning to control fear instead of avoiding it changes how you lead, sell, and speak. This is a practical and thoughtful conversation about using your voice with purpose in a distracted and divided world. Highlights: 00:10 – Why trust and character matter more than polish when you speak03:41 – How timeless principles from history still shape powerful communication today08:51 – Why authenticity is essential in an AI-driven, distracted world13:44 – How fear of embarrassment silences people before they ever use their voice17:33 – What speakers can listen for to know if an audience is truly engaged25:06 – Why fear of public speaking is really a thinking problem, not a talent issue33:16 – How storytelling helps messages stay memorable long after the talk ends40:00 – Why learning to control fear, not avoid it, leads to stronger leadership and confidence About the Guest: Robert Begley is a world-class speaking coach, keynote speaker, author, and founder of Speaking With Purpose LLC. With more than 15 years of experience transforming lives through the power of effective communication, Robert helps entrepreneurs, executives, and emerging leaders craft unforgettable presentations that inspire action and drive results. A native New Yorker who once struggled to command the stage, Robert learned to conquer his fear of public speaking and now coaches others to do the same. He has delivered hundreds of presentations across the U.S. and coached NYPD officers, immigrants from tyrannical regimes, Fortune 500 executives, and business owners to speak with purpose, power, and persuasion. Robert is the author of Voices of Reason: Lesso ns for Liberty's Leaders (Indie Books International, 2025), a book that blends public speaking mastery with historical analysis. Drawing on Aristotle's rhetorical principles—ethos, logos, and pathos—he dissects the speeches of iconic figures like Patrick Henry, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Ayn Rand, Martin Luther King Jr., and Magatte Wade to teach timeless lessons for courageous leadership in today's context. He leads multiple coaching programs including Voices of the American Dream, for immigrants learning to share their personal stories, and Elite Speakers Forum, where rising communicators develop their craft in a supportive community. Robert has also partnered with global organizations like Students For Liberty and Liberty Ventures to teach persuasive speaking to international student leaders and business executives. Robert now lives in Orlando, Florida, with the love of his life, Carrie-Ann. When he's not coaching speakers or crafting keynotes, you might find him running Spartan Races, reflecting on philosophy, or attending rock concerts or ballet performances.

Ahead of Pat Kenny's move to weekends at the beginning of March, we've delved into the archives to bring you some of the best pieces from his dozen-and-a-half years of mornings on Newstalk.Ireland and Britain's relationship is as intertwined as it has so often been violent and traumatic. In these Divided Isles, the award-winning author and journalist Philip Stephens charts the dramatic century since the political leaders David Lloyd George, Michael Collins, Winston Churchill and Éamonn De Valera alongside those of millions of Irish emigrants. With the complicated relationship between Ireland and Britain, could it ever end up with a United Ireland? All to discuss with Philip Stephens - Writer, Historian and Author of 'In These Divided Isles'.

For more content, early access and the chance to put questions to future guests, join our community on Substack HERE: https://open.substack.com/pub/winstonmarshallIn this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with historian and peer Lord Andrew Roberts for a sweeping conversation on Britain after 1945, the defeat of Churchill, and the post-war settlement that shaped the modern world.We begin with why Winston Churchill lost the 1945 general election, despite winning the war, and how promises of state provision, nationalisation, and the Beveridge Report reshaped British politics. Lord Roberts explains how wartime socialism, propaganda, and unrealistic expectations laid the foundations for decades of economic stagnation.The discussion explores Britain's post-war decline, austerity, debt, and the illusion of prosperity created by Lend-Lease, Marshall Plan aid, and Keynesian economics. We examine why Germany and Japan rebuilt faster than Britain, how trade unions and high taxation crippled growth, and why successive governments chose to manage decline rather than confront it.We also discuss immigration, the welfare state, deindustrialisation, and how the failures of the 1945 settlement echo through Brexit, Trump, globalisation, and the collapse of the rules-based international order. Lord Roberts reflects on NATO, the United Nations, American power, and why the West now faces a historic turning point.A wide-ranging and authoritative conversation about history, power, leadership, and whether Britain can rediscover the courage to reverse its long decline.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE: https://open.substack.com/pub/winstonmarshall/p/why-winston-churchill-lost-the-1945?r=18lfab&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:23 Why did Churchill lose the 1945 Election05:00 Appeasement, Blame & the Conservative Collapse06:34 The Beveridge Report & the Dream of a New Jerusalem10:51 War Socialism, Lend-Lease & National Delusion12:36 Bankruptcy, Austerity & Britain's Financial Reality14:28 Why Germany & Japan Recovered Faster17:24 Keynes, American Loans & Avoiding Collapse22:23 The Marshall Plan & Stopping European Communism24:09 Learning the Wrong Lessons from Victory28:04 Trade Unions, Inflation & the Road to the 1970s33:24 Immigration After the War & Changing Britain39:35 Corelli Barnett & Britain's Long Economic Decline54:43 The Revolt Against the 1945 Settlement1:07:43 Leadership, Thatcher & Britain's Future Hosted on Acast.

There is a cryptic aspect of the Gospel that many of the Apostles did not understand. It is a mystery that was not revealed prior to Paul. It was difficult to understand then and it remains difficult to understand today. This enigma surrounding the Gospel has everything to do with Gentiles! We could even call it the Mystery of the Gentiles. The words of Winston Churchill might find an application here, “It's a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma…” Join us in the exciting series as we unpack what Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, calls the Mystery of the Gospel.

Not the most pleasant topic today but a worthy rational requirement if you want to see what history has to say about where we ARE headed.Source: "The Gathering Storm" by Winston S. Churchill (1948)Photo: Ron JonesEpisode #406

Hej, w najnowszym odcinku serii Powojnie opowiadam historię powstania brytyjskiej bomby atomowej. Winston Churchill nie był zwolennikiem nuklearnego wyścigu zbrojeń z Amerykanami. W czasie II wojny światowej liczył na szeroko zakrojoną współpracę z Waszyngtonem i wspólne prace nad nową bronią. Franklin D. Roosevelt formalnie nie mówił „nie”, jednak brytyjscy naukowcy nie byli wtajemniczani we wszystkie kluczowe elementy projektu. Co więcej — to właśnie dzięki ich wiedzy i doświadczeniu amerykański Projekt Manhattan mógł rozwinąć skrzydła. Kulminacją tych starań było porozumienie zawarte w Quebecu między Stanami Zjednoczonymi, Wielką Brytanią i Kanadą, zakładające współpracę oraz wymianę doświadczeń w zakresie badań nad bronią jądrową.Po wojnie klimat do dalszej kooperacji wyraźnie się jednak pogorszył. Na światło dzienne zaczęły wychodzić informacje o sowieckich szpiegach działających w Projekcie Manhattan. Amerykanie szybko zamknęli się na współpracę z sojusznikami, a w praktyce całkowicie ją zerwali. Brytyjczycy zostali zmuszeni do samodzielnego prowadzenia własnego programu nuklearnego. Co ciekawe, prawdziwego rozpędu brytyjski program atomowy nabrał dopiero wraz z powrotem Churchilla do władzy w latach 50. Więcej na ten temat dowiecie się słuchając najnowszego odcinka serii Powojnie.

After France fell in 1940, it was Charles de Gaulle who led the Free French forces against Nazi Germany and Vichy France. From the moment he assumed that position, de Gaulle was locked into a relationship with British prime minister Winston Churchill. The two men are the subject of the latest book by Professor Richard Vinen, The Last Titans, and here, in conversation with James Osborne, he shares his insights into the two men, their relationship, and their lasting impact.

Víctor del Árbol es uno de nuestros autores favoritos. Desde su primer novela le vimos una clara intención literaria, de escribir historias, donde no solo hubiera peripecia, sino también profundidad psicológica. Heredero de los maestros rusos, el autor catalán cierra la trilogía del sicario sin nombre con Las buenas intenciones. Es un novelón. Miguel de Cervantes, Hedy Lamarr, Einstein, Goya, Winston Churchill… y personajes conocidos por todos son recopilados en un libro, delicioso, que encantará a jóvenes lectores, y a no tan jóvenes: Pequeña historia de los grandes personajes que cambiaron el mundo. Lo ha escrito Eduardo Torrilla y lo ha publicado Espasa.

Winston Churchill once said, “Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.” That's a nice sentiment—I mean, by and large it's good to let failure be a learning experience, to not let it discourage you from following your dreams. But…hear me out here: What if you're just a hot mess? What if every time you go from one failure to the next, you leave a pile of bodies in your wake? Can you be a little TOO good at failure? Should you sometimes maybe acknowledge “Hey, maybe this thing I'm trying to do isn't one of my strengths”? I think some of the people in this week's episode would have left the world a better place if they'd thrown in the towel.Registration is now open for CrimeWave 2.0!

With the Conservatives on watch for further defectors, academic Richard Johnson and Conservative peer Danny Finkelstein join James Heale to discuss whether British politics rewards traitors or faithfuls. Richard points out that often personal success is dependent on whether the party goes on to be a major or minor player in British politics; Winston Churchill and Shaun Woodward fared better, while Shirley Williams and Mark Reckless had less success. Danny – whose political career began with the SDP in the 1980s – also takes us through his personal experience and the challenges of defecting, from ideology and demography to the perception of betrayal. How fundamental is the shift taking place in British politics?Produced by Patrick Gibbons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Evil rarely announces itself; it blends into policy debates, media cycles, and daily habits until victims become invisible. We pull the mask off modern sex trafficking, call it the slavery it is, and ask the uncomfortable question: who benefits when the public looks away? From cartel-driven exploitation to grooming scandals abroad, we connect the dots between criminal markets, political incentives, and the cultural appetite that turns people into products.We don't stop at outrage. We ground the conversation in Scripture that speaks to marriage, fidelity, and forgiveness, drawing a straight line from personal virtue to public justice. If the marriage bed is to be honored, then our imaginations must be trained toward loyalty and restraint, not consumption. Forgiveness frees hearts from bitterness, but it never excuses harm; true mercy seeks the good of the vulnerable and demands accountability from the powerful. Along the way, we honor a Medal of Honor recipient and revisit Churchill's warnings about systems that need a political police to quiet dissent—reminders that liberty with moral limits outperforms enforced equality that breeds misery.Expect hard questions and practical direction: learn the signs of coercion, support survivor services, back serious action against buyers and cartels, and push for policies that reduce vulnerability rather than import it. Most of all, begin at home. The daily disciplines of self-control, generosity, and prayer shape the kind of citizens who refuse to trade human dignity for ideological comfort. If this conversation moves you, share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so we can keep building a community that chooses courage over silence.#Psalm23 #WinstonChurchill #Socialism Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe Countryside Book Series https://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Adam Christing, a humorist, keynote speaker, and author, to talk about the power of laughter, connection, and storytelling. Adam has spent four decades performing more than 4,000 humor presentations for CEOs, Fortune 500 companies, major nonprofits, and high-stakes audiences around the world. He is a member of Hollywood's iconic Magic Castle, has worked with David Copperfield, authored The Laugh Factor: The 5 Humor Tactics to Link, Lift, and Lead, and is the CEO of Clean Comedians®, a business that uses humor to bring people together rather than driving them apart. Adam is more than just a gifted public speaker and performer. He is a student of human nature. In our conversation, he explains how comedy works psychologically, why humor diffuses conflict, how it disarms resistance, and how it allows leaders to deliver truth without putting people on the defensive.  Adam also offers a brilliant blueprint for anyone who speaks publicly. Executives, trial lawyers, entrepreneurs, military leaders, and educators, can all benefit from Adam's crash course in how to grab an audience's attention and keep it. We break down how great presenters prepare, how to deal with nerves, why silence is so powerful, how to tailor your message to the room, and how storytelling can transform information into impact.  Along the way, Adam tells stories about joining the Magic Castle as a teenager, bombing on stage, learning from masters like Johnny Carson and Winston Churchill, and discovering that audiences do not want perfection - they want presence. He also explains why the boundaries of "clean comedy" actually make comedy more creative, why leaders should practice humor like a skill, and why audiences always root for the person at the microphone. This episode is about leadership, persuasion, communication, and how to connect through humour. It is also full of laughs. I invite you to listen to the full conversation and learn how humor can help you become a better leader, speaker, and storyteller. And now I give you, Adam Christing.

This is Empires of the Future, conversations to encourage the Church in a time of change.  Don't Have it Your Way, Against Consumer Spirituality How should someone formulate his (or her) view of the world?  In an article by Brett McCracken for The Gospel Coalition, he documents the emergence of what he calls “metamodern” Christianity.  This is not “modern”, meaning dedicated to an abstract idea of truth and pointed toward “progress”.  It is also not “post-modern”, dedicated to feelings and dismissing notions of truth in favor of viewing the world as only consisting of power dynamics.  It's somewhere between the two.  In contrast, christians should be a people dedicated to God almighty, to loving Him first and others second and seeking to live lives of sacrifice and love after our Savior Christ who gave himself for us.  https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/challenge-opportunity-metamodern-christianity/ "The Empires of the future will be Empires of the Mind." - Winston Churchill 

“First we shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us.” - Winston Churchill (attributed)The natural world is humanity's original habitat. This habitat supports our physiological energy efficiency and is an important health intervention for the AEC industry. These are core perspectives that Helena van Vliet shares in this joint PHA-Building Science Podcast interview. Helena makes the clear case that we are “open systems” - we take in our environments, both physically and with our perceptions. Whether outdoors or indoors, our physical selves have their own experience of each environment we inhabit. This experience first informs our bodies, which have their own reactions of ease or dis-ease; and next, seemingly at the same time, this experience then informs our minds and our psychological reality comes to life. This interview is yet another beacon guiding us to deeply rethink how we deliver indoor spaces to ourselves. Enjoy the nourishing feast of ideas here!Helena van VlietHelena van Vliet Dipl.-Ing.

Celebrated medium Helen Duncan was arrested on 19th January, 1944, when, midway through one of her séances, an undercover policeman dramatically revealed her "spirit" to be nothing more than… herself draped in white fabric.  Initially charged with minor fraud, her case took a wild turn when she became the last woman imprisoned under the 1735 Witchcraft Act. Duncan's trial, steeped in wartime paranoia and media frenzy, spotlighted her peculiar career, from her regurgitated "ectoplasm" performances to an unfortunate séance where she revealed the sinking of a British warship, inadvertently ruffling governmental feathers. Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how Duncan's "physical manifestations" worked (it's not for the faint-hearted); consider why public sentiment was on her side, even from Winston Churchill himself; and explain what happened to a controversial bronze bust of Duncan, initially donated to her hometown of Callander… Further Reading: • ‘The Strange, Freakish Story of Britain's 'Last Convicted Witch'' (Vice, 2017): https://www.vice.com/en/article/helen-duncan-the-strange-freakish-story-of-britains-last-convicted-witch/ • 'The truth about the UK's last witch Helen Duncan' (The National, 2018): https://www.thenational.scot/news/16209915.truth-uks-last-witch-helen-duncan/ • ‘Alan Crossley talks about his experiences of materialisation seances with Helen Duncan and Alec Harris' (The Psychic Times, 2007): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuEBASIrDGk Love the show?

The news Mets fans feared becomes reality as Kyle Tucker chooses the Los Angeles Dodgers over the New York Mets. Evan reacts with raw frustration, breaking down why this one hurts even though the Mets made a massive and legitimate offer. Tiki Barber explains why the Dodgers always win these battles, how their financial edge changes everything, and why no one should be surprised. The conversation turns from Tucker to the bigger picture as Evan questions the Mets' offseason direction, the failure to replace Pete Alonso, and what the real pivot is with spring training approaching. Is this anger really about Tucker, or about the position the Mets have put themselves in? Plus a Winston Churchill inspired rally cry, and a brewing conspiracy involving MLB and Rob Manfred. A must listen for Mets fans trying to figure out where this team goes next and whether there is still a path to contention.

HERE'S A PODCAST FROM A YEAR AGO - 2025... LAST YEAR'S Happy New Year! Well no time like the present to kick off the new year with a mind bending podcast courtesy of Jennifer Shaffer and Rich Martini.  Jennifer's web page JenniferShaffer.com has links to her "Uncorked" events, or to book with her directly, RichardMartini.com is where one can book a guided meditation with Rich. So the other day in my kitchen (and I don't know why it's the case, but I sometimes get a message or feeling there that someone wants to talk to us) President Jimmy Carter popped into my head. It of course could have been because he'd just passed away - but I try not to judge why someone shows up, or if someone shows up.  I just leave it aside, and see what happens when we start the podcast. And as we often do, I left it up to our moderator on the Flipside, Luana Anders to suggest the topic for the day. And she told Jennifer: "Richard has someone who spoke to him yesterday." Which is accurate.  And just prior to the podcast - literally a minute before, I remembered that happened, and I looked up Jimmy on Wikipedia so at the very least I had some of his background correct. as it is - at some point I call the King of England before Elizabeth "Edward" when everyone knows that's not her father's name. But Jennifer didn't say his name - just pointed out that she was seeing him when Winston Churchill showed up. (For historians out there, the story of Winston sleeping in the White House and seeing a ghost is old news.) As noted, when over the past ten years we have someone Presidential show up (We've had all chats with Hoover, FDR, Truman, JFK, Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr.. and folks associated with the Presidency - Abe Lincoln, Mary Todd Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, RFK, John McCain - those interviews are in the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE (books 1, 2 and 3). Some of them are searchable on the podcast - Abe, JFK, RFK, etc... but it wasn't surprising what Jimmy said about seeing Reagan on the flipside, how McCain stopped by - and the legions of people who loved him were there to greet him. Interesting that he said Rosalyn was "with him" frequency wise - he spoke about the regrets he had from his life (associated with war) and the things he was proudest of.  I asked him a question about a film project I've been working on - something only he would know about, the land case in Maine.  Fun to hear him say it's a story "that should be told." He also talked briefly about people off planet - since he saw a UFO back in 1969, and says that the kinds of work they're doing are benevolent... nothing to fear.  The same kind of things I've heard in the research behind CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FLIPSIDE KIND.  We asked him who he was surprised to see - and he mentioned Winston Churchill and Elvis - who was friends with him. Paul Newman showed up - I wasn't aware of their friendship, but Jimmy talked about Paul's food charity work, and we asked Paul some questions about his journey, including what it was like to welcome his wife Joanne Woodward home.  (Joanne is still on the planet, but has Alzheimers - from the research, multiple conversations with people offstage, our loved ones who have dementia are "90% already home" - so it's normal for them to interact with each other.  As my friend's father Jack Tracey told us in his last weeks of being here, "It's like leaving a leg in the pool."  I didn't mean to imply she is gone - just was asking him what it was like to see her "higher self" on the flipside.) So while one is watching the nation mourn this President, while the nation has a funeral for him, honoring him and his service, be aware that he hasn't disappeared or is gone: he's just not here. Available. Like everyone is. Hope this helps. WE'LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK!

Over the course of World War II, Germany’s submariners sank over three thousand Allied ships, nearly three-quarters of Allied shipping losses in all theaters of the war. Winston Churchill famously declared the only thing that truly frightened him during World War II was the U-boat threat. But the treat was more imagined than real. The actual capability of the German Navy was somewhat limited. Some historians think that the Germans would have been better off in WWII if they had built no navy at all and devoted those resources to the army and the Luftwaffe. In the process the submariners endured horrific conditions and suffered a 75 percent death rate, the highest of any arm of service in the conflict. The campaign began with daring, high-profile successes that fostered a dangerous overconfidence, most notably the sinking of the HMS Royal Oak in 1939 by U-47, which killed 835 British crewmen. Yet, despite these early victories—when the U-boat wolfpacks inflicted devastating losses on weakly defended Allied convoys—the force was never able to maintain the scale needed for a knock-out blow. By the time Germany had sufficient numbers, the industrial and military might of the United States, coupled with increasingly effective Allied countermeasures, had already passed the U-boat's moment of maximum threat. As the war progressed, the elite, superbly trained pre-war crews were wiped out and replaced by those with less training, leading to a steady deterioration in effectiveness. Today’s guest is Roger Moorhouse, author of “Wolfpack: Inside Hitler’s U-Boat War.” We look at how Germany’s U-boat campaign challenged British naval supremacy and brought international trade to its knees. We follow the story of these U-Boat crews from the enthusiasm of the war’s early days, buoyed with optimism about their cause, through the challenges of the Allied counterthreat, to the final horrors of enemy capture and death in the depths.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In his speaking, Winston Churchill often deliberately made mistakes. He understood that an imperfect speech would be more persuasive and moving than a perfect speech, and he chose to make his performance better by making it worse.

THE FALL OF FRANCE AND THE FLIGHT OF HESS Colleague Charles Spicer. As the German army overran France and the Low Countries in May 1940, Winston Churchill became Prime Minister and began utilizing the intelligence Christie had provided through Vansittart. The summer of 1940 also saw the publication of Guilty Men, a polemic that unfairly blamed appeasers for the war, simplifying a complex history and embedding a narrative of betrayal in the public consciousness. Across the Atlantic, Lord Lothian, having turned against Germany, successfully persuaded Roosevelt to support Britain, crucial for the war effort. The narrative touches on the bizarre flight of Rudolf Hess to Scotland, who sought the Duke of Hamilton—a figure connected to the Fellowship—in a deluded attempt to negotiate peace between the two nations.
