Podcasts about Yugoslavia

With her bewitching and beautiful novel NEVERMORE (Seagull Books, translated from French by Tess Lewis, who joins our conversation), Cécile Wajsbrot takes us on a tour of Chenobyl's Forbidden Zone, the High Line in NYC, Dresden, Paris, under the shadow of the Time Passes section of Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse. We talk about the challenges of writing a first-person novel about translation, the strange ways Woolf has followed Cecile throughout her careers as author & translator, and how it felt to see her novel about translating Virginia Woolf into French get translated into English. We get into her literary career, how Time Passes became a stand-in for her fascination with destruction, why she's translated Woolf's The Waves three times over thirty years (and whether the first one got her into the bad graces of the editor of Le Monde de Livres), what it was like to subvert the translator's typical role of invisibility with this novel, and the language she wishes she had. We also discuss mourning and the ways we try to keep conversation alive with those we've lost, the time I impressed the Princess of Yugoslavia by transliterating the Cyrillic on her family's jewels, and more.

In this episode, I'm joined by bestselling author Damien Lewis to talk about one of the remarkable men featured in his new book SAS Great Escapes Four — Archie Gibson. Archie served with the Long Range Desert Group and worked closely with the SAS during some of their earliest and most daring operations. His wartime journey took him from the harsh deserts of North Africa to the rugged terrain of Yugoslavia, where he operated alongside local resistance fighters behind enemy lines. We also delve into the ongoing campaign to award SAS legend Paddy Mayne a posthumous Victoria Cross, recognition he was controversially denied during the war.   patreon.com/ww2podcast

The road novel is often dismissed as a mundane, nostalgic genre: Jack, Sal, and other tedious white men on the road trying to recapture an authentic youth and American past that never existed. Yet, new road novels appear every year, tackling unexpected questions and spanning new geographies, from Mexico, Brazil, Bulgaria, Palestine, Ukraine, and former-Yugoslavia. Why did the road novel emerge and why does it persist? What does it do and why has it traveled so widely? In Cartographies of Empire: The Road Novel and American Hegemony (Stanford University Press, 2025) Dr. Myka Tucker-Abramson draws from an archive of more than 140 global road novels from over twenty countries, challenging dominant conceptions of the road novel as primarily concerned with American experiences and subjectivities. Grounding her analysis in materialist theories of genre, world-ecology and commodity frontier frameworks, and post-45 American literary studies, Dr. Tucker-Abramson persuasively argues that the road novel is a genre specific to, coterminous with, and revealing of US hegemony's global trajectory. Shifting our focus from Americanness to the fraught geopolitics of US Empire, from the car to the built environment through which it moves, and from passengers to those left behind, Dr. Tucker-Abramson remaps the road novel, elucidating the genre's unique ability both to reveal the violent and vertiginous processes of capitalist modernization and to obfuscate these harsh truths through seductive narratives of individual success and 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.

Rambo Amadeus (Montenegro, 2012) - 23:05, Nico Carney (Vulture, Comedian You Should Know) - 42:30         On this episode, we talk about how Eurovision can achieve its goal of expansion. First, we use the occasion of Montenegro returning to the contest to explore the ways that Eurovision can make it easier for even more countries to join.          Then we talk to iconic Montenegrin artist, Rambo Amadeus, whose Euro Nero explores the complications of integrating into the larger European project. We talk to him about whether participating in European institutions makes sense for Montenegro - and explore why Europe is facing rising tides of nationalism and isolation.         Finally, we sit down with comedian Nico Carney to explore the difference between Yugoslavian entrants into Eurovision and the Montenegrin entrants that followed.

Serbia's citizens have been protesting for over six months, taking part in demonstrations around the country in reaction to their government's alleged corruption. Though the country's president, Aleksandar Vučić, has attempted to appease them, the movement shows no sign of slowing down.Situated in the Western Balkans, Serbia has had a long history of conflict; from the Ottoman Empire to the dissolution of Yugoslavia, but the ongoing civil unrest comes at a crossroads moment for President Vučić. Serbia is awaiting approval to join the European Union yet remains closely tied with the Kremlin.As the Serbian government seeks to solidify its place in the world, protestors continue their calls for transparency and accountability.

Student scholarships were a huge part of Yugoslavia's nonaligned diplomacy and one of the most tangible and visible ways Yugoslav citizens experienced nonalignment. Between 1955 and 1984, Yugoslavia granted nearly 8,000 scholarships to young people from 90 political parties, liberation movements, and countries of the Global South, with foreign students receiving professional, military, and university training and education in the country for various periods. But the program also had an ugly side: discrimination and racism (PLUS). With Rima Sabina Aouf, Leonora Dugonjic-Rodwin, and Peter Wright, plus Goran Musić, Žiga Smolič, Paul Stubbs, and Damir Vučićević.

Rising through the ranks of the Communist Party, he became Serbia's president in 1989 and quickly moved to consolidate power by revoking the autonomy of Kosovo and Vojvodina. His leadership fueled a wave of Serbian nationalism and played a major role in the wars in Croatia, Bosnia, and later Kosovo, supporting Serbian forces involved in ethnic violence and atrocities.Milošević's regime was marked by authoritarian control, suppression of opposition, and state-controlled media. Though he maintained popular support in the early years by presenting himself as a defender of Serbs, his policies led to international isolation, UN sanctions, and ultimately NATO intervention. In 1999, following a brutal crackdown on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, NATO launched a bombing campaign against Serbia.Domestically, economic hardship and political repression led to growing dissatisfaction. After a disputed election in 2000, massive protests forced Milošević to resign. He was arrested in 2001 and extradited to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague, where he faced charges of war crimes, including genocide. He died in 2006 during the trial.source 

Julie Brill joins Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about growing up the daughter of a Holocaust survivor and her journey to understand the unexamined childhood stories she grew up with, being a reluctant memoirist and leaning into telling the story of an ordinary person figuring things out, the Holocaust and the history of the Jews of Serbia, inherited memories, making ourselves the central character, when our parents'  foundational stories become ours, finding our place, permission to tell a story if you didn't live through it, and her new memoir HIdden in Plain Sight: A Family Memoir and the Untold Story of the Holocaust in Serbia.   Also in this episode: -the missing missing -the unthought known -making research readable   Books mentioned in this episode: Three Minutes in Poland by Glenn Kertz Paper Love by Sarah Wildman Plunder by Menachem Kaiser Big Magic by Liz Gilbert The Creative Process by Twyla Tharp   As a child, Julie Brill held two conflicting beliefs. She knew Germans had murdered her Jewish grandfather in occupied Yugoslavia, yet she somehow believed the Holocaust had never come to his hometown of Belgrade. The family anecdotes her father passed down, a blend of his early memories and what his mother told him, didn't match what Julie had heard about Germany, Poland, and Anne Frank in Holland during World War II. Even frequent readers of Holocaust history likely do not understand the Serbian story. Destruction there came early and fast. Without cattle cars, gas chambers, or distant camps, the Nazis murdered almost the entire Jewish population before the plan for the Final Solution was even set. With so few Jewish survivors and descendants from Serbia, the story of the Shoah there has gone untold. Julie's quest to understand and share what she learned led to Hidden in Plain Sight: A Family Memoir and the Untold Story of the Holocaust in Serbia. Julie has written for Haaretz, the Forward, Kveller, The Times of Israel, Balkan Insight, and elsewhere. She shares her family's experiences in the Holocaust in middle and high school classrooms through Living Links.  Additionally, Julie is a lactation consultant, doula, childbirth educator, and the author of the anthology Round the Circle: Doulas Share Their Experiences. She began attending births and teaching childbirth classes in 1992 and has supported thousands of families in the childbearing year. She graduated from Tufts University with a degree in Sociology and Gender Studies and completed the Massachusetts Midwifery Alliance Apprenticeship Course. She is the mother of two adult daughters.   Connect with Julie: Website: https://juliebrill.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliesbrill/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/juliebrill.bsky.social Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/julie.brill1 X: https://www.Twitter.com/juliebrill8 Get her book: https://mybook.to/irl0   – Ronit's writing has appeared in The Atlantic, The Rumpus, The New York Times, Poets & Writers, The Iowa Review, Hippocampus, The Washington Post, Writer's Digest, American Literary Review, and elsewhere.

Slavoj Žižek, one of the most outrageous and maverick thinkers of our time, joins Robin Ince for deep dive into his life and thought. From his life and education in the former Yugoslavia under communist rule, where his master's thesis was denounced by the authorities for being ‘not Marxist enough' and he fought to democratise Slovenia and defend human rights, to his current position as one of the 21st century's most renowned public intellectuals, Slavoj Žižek has travelled into territory where few of us dare to tread. The man widely known as ‘the most dangerous philosopher in the West' reflects on his life and our times with Robin Ince, for a chat covering cinema, sex and science. Where does America go next?

As a child, Julie held two conflicting beliefs. She knew Germans had murdered her Jewish grandfather in occupied Yugoslavia, yet she somehow believed the Holocaust had never come to his hometown of Belgrade. The family anecdotes her father passed down, a blend of his early memories and what his mother told him, didn't match what Julie had heard about Germany, Poland, and Anne Frank in Holland during World War II.With so few Jewish survivors and descendants from Serbia, the story of the Shoah there has gone untold. Julie's quest to understand and share what she learned led to Hidden in Plain Sight.Julie's numerous short pieces related to this larger project appear in Haaretz, The Forward, Balkan Insight, Kveller, Cognoscenti, Alma, the Globe Post, and elsewhere. Julie is a contributor to the Read650 Anthology Jew-ish: True Stories of Love, Latkes, and L'Chaim and has been featured on Memoir Mondays. She shares her family's Holocaust experiences in classrooms through Living Links.Additionally, Julie is a lactation consultant, doula, birth educator at WellPregnancy. She is the author of the anthology Round the Circle: Doulas Share their Experiences. She lives near Boston and is the mother of two adult daughters.Hidden in Plain Sight: A Family Memoir and the Untold Story of the Holocaust in Serbia (Holocaust Heritage)Discover a powerful, untold chapter of Holocaust history and a daughter's enduring quest to know the story that began a generation before her birth. From childhood, Julie Brill struggled to understand how her father survived as a young Jewish boy in Belgrade, where Nazis murdered 90 percent of the Jewish population without gas chambers or cattle cars. Through exacting research, a bit of luck, and three emotional trips to Serbia, she pieces together her family's lost past, unearths secrets, and returns to her father a small part of what the Nazis stole: his own family history.https://juliebrill.com/Get the book:https://a.co/d/bdHtCyZBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

In this hard-hitting, no-nonsense Speak Up episode, value investor Sven Carlin joins Anthony Scaramucci to expose the financial risks threatening your portfolio, from U.S. debt compounding at 8%, and overvalued markets, to investor psychology shaped by years of Fed and fiscal bailouts. Drawing from his childhood in hyperinflation-era Yugoslavia, Sven warns that money printing is the only way out of the West's massive debt burden, and that the endgame is hyperinflation. He explains why traditional inflation hedges like gold may not offer cost-effective protection, and what real assets he believes investors must own to protect their wealth from what's coming. Key Topics: • Why Sven won't touch the S&P 500 at current valuations • The hidden costs of Trump's tariff strategy and trade wars • Why food stocks and real businesses beat speculative assets • The “buy the dip” trap enabled by Fed policy • How China may outlast the U.S. in economic warfare Whether you're a cautious investor or market bull, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and help you prepare for what's next. Chapters: 0:33 – Did Sven Carlin See the Financial Whiplash Coming? 2:18 – Warren Buffett Called Tariffs on China War—Does Sven Agree? 3:17 – Can Washington Cut 70 Trade Deals in Just 3 Months? 4:53 – Is There Anything Left Worth Investing In? 5:58 – Gold or Bitcoin? Sven Reveals His Real Hedge 9:14 – Inside the Minds of Today's Investors: Fear, Greed, or Delusion? 10:25 – Has America Lost Its Magic? 12:17 – Can Tariffs Really Revive American Industry? 14:36 – China vs. U.S.: Who Wins the Trade War Poker Game? 17:28 – Is Europe Waking Up or Falling Behind for Good? 18:31 – What Would Make Sven Carlin Turn Bullish Again? 21:28 – They'll Print Again, So Should You Go All-In? 24:02 – Sven's Hyperinflation Warning Volatility got you concerned?

On November 1 2024, the roof of a newly €55 million renovated railway station in Novi Sad, Serbia's second biggest city, collapsed and killed 16 people. The deaths sparked Serbia's largest wave of student-led anti-government protests since Yugoslavia's disintegration in 2000.Mid-March protests in Serbia saw roughly one in twenty Serbians participate. This week Mladen Mrdalj joins host Aaron Schwartzbaum to explore how the tragedy in Novi Sad sparked a mass movement, and why it spells potential trouble for Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.Explore previous episodes of The Continent series.

We're unveiling a new series on the podcast: Corman Graduates, where we chronologically discuss the filmography of a director who went through "the Roger Corman school of filmmaking" and we're starting with Jack Hill, director of films like TEH BIG DOLL HOUSE and COFFY. Joining us for this first episode is writer, film historian, and filmmaker Calum Waddell, who literally wrote the book on Jack Hill with 2009's Jack Hill: The Exploitation and Blaxploitation Master, Film By Film. We start at the very beginning of Hill's career with "The Host," his student film at UCLA, and his entry into the world of Roger Corman with his work on 1962's THE WASP WOMAN and 1963's THE TERROR before getting his first feature-length assignment, 1966's BLOOD BATH aka TRACK OF THE VAMPIRE, which saw Hill try to create a film around footage from a film shot in Yugoslavia that Corman had invested in.  Corman eventually hands it to Stephanie Rothman, another Corman graduate, who took Hill's film about an obsessed artist who murders his models into a vampire film (at Corman's request, of course). Did we like the film? We discuss! We then talk about what Jack Hill felt was his true directorial debut, 1967's SPIDER BABY, which Hill did away from Corman and took some time before it reached theaters and then was mostly forgotten until Quentin Tarantino stepped in the 1990s when he re-released Hill's 1975 film SWITCHBLADE SISTERS on his now-defunct Rolling Thunder Pictures label. We'll discuss the incredible performances - including Sid Haig and Lon Chaney Jr. - and why the film was so prophetic to the horror films that followed it. Don't miss this look into the beginnings of Jack Hill's career with the keen insight and first-hand knowledge of another exploitation expert, Calum Waddell.

Yugoslavia pursued its own socialist path in the realm of culture, too, exporting its production to the Global South to showcase its progress. Though the Nonaligned Movement lacked a policy on culture, cultural cooperation was part and parcel of decolonization and peaceful coexistence. In the process, a global network of cultural exchanges and a distinct version of modernism developed. With Bojana Piškur and Ljiljana Kolešnik.

https://youtu.be/-c6W8JuZsVo Podcast audio: Oppression and authoritarianism have been constant themes in regimes that ruled in the name of Marxism. From the Soviet Union to Cuba and from Yugoslavia to China, individual rights were ignored and violently suppressed. Is such anti-individualism a feature or a bug in Marxism? What about Marx himself? How did he view the individual? Was he the one who planted the seed for the future orgy of anti-individualist violence that has been perpetrated in his name? Nikos Sotirakopoulos tackles these questions in this talk from OCON 2024. Recorded live on June 15 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

We talk about his approach to bridging divides—whether cultural, personal, or organizational—and the four key pillars he believes every leader should nurture: work, play, health, and love. It's a conversation about looking to the past to better understand the future, and about how choosing to lead with humanity can transform not just our organizations, but ourselves.

Slobodan Milosevic har sikret sig magten i Serbien, men hans ambitioner stopper ikke dér. Han vil nu brede sin magt ud over det øvrige Jugoslavien - og han vil gøre det med vold, hvis det er nødvendigt. Med allierede som den brutale Radovan Karadzic sætter han Balkan i flammer. Milosevic drømmer om serbisk dominans - men efterlader kun død og ødelæggelse. Krigen raser i Bosnien, hvor etnisk udrensning og belejringen af Sarajevo og Srebrenica bliver symboler på rædslerne.

Emilija Kokić, Riva, Rock Me, WINNER Yugoslavia 1989 (27:23), Jackie Cox (47:08)       This is the second episode in our two part series about Celine Dion! We pick up right after Celine's Eurovision victory, tracing her rise to global pop stardom, her experience of critical backlash, her health struggles and her recent comeback. As we do so, we discuss the parallels between Celine's ebb and flow of cultural relevance, and that of the contest that launched her.          Then we speak to Emilija Kokić, who won Eurovision the year after Celine for Yugoslavia, as the front woman of Riva, with the song Rock Me. We discuss that incredible moment in the late '80s when it felt like the world was opening up, and the difficult aftermath as Emilija launched her solo career against the back drop of war, genocide and the break-up of Yugoslavia.         Finally, we sit down with Jackie Cox (RuPaul's Drag Race Season 12), and explore Canadian acts at Eurovision, in a game of Tops and Bottoms that we're calling the "Not Like Us" edition. We cover everything from the code switching Canadians are often forced to do on the international stage, to the threat the country now faces from Donald Trump.         TOPS AND BOTTOMS: NOT LIKE US EDITION       Sherisse Laurence, L'amour de ma vie (Luxembourg, 1986):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTyzJSnLv3Q       Celine Dion, Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi (Switzerland 1988): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXLWfXmlXPc       Annie Cotton, Moi, tout simplement, (Switzerland, 1993): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QG-kvD7GHo       Natasha St-Pier, Je N'ai Que Mon Âme, (France, 2001): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCfqvkCEyy4       Rykka, The Last of Our Kind, (Switzerland, 2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96ENe3EYBE0       La Zarra, Evidement, (France, 2023): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWfbEFH9NvQ

Ghost and Matt Ehret are joined by geopolitical analyst Xoaquin Flores for an eye-opening deep dive into the 25th anniversary of NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia. Together, they trace the origins of the Balkan conflict, the psychological and cultural warfare used to fracture the region, and how it laid the blueprint for future color revolutions around the globe. From the weaponization of music and media in the 1990s to today's protests in Serbia, the trio unpacks how regime change operations evolve, and how they're repeating the same tactics in Ukraine, Taiwan, and beyond. They also touch on Operation Paperclip, Hong Kong psyops, the Arctic front, and the growing resistance to globalist networks from Trump, Putin, and allies around the world. This one's a history masterclass with modern-day implications.

Self-management was at the core of the identity of Yugoslav socialism and its best export. It was an outgrowth of nonalignment, the domestic expression of Yugoslavia's aspirations to play a global role and differentiate itself from the two power blocs.

Dani Blanco repasa el conflicto bélico en Yugoslavia y cómo afectó el mundo del fútbol.

Send us a textProfessor Margaret MacMillan illuminates how decisions made at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 continue to shape today's geopolitical landscape, particularly in understanding current European conflicts including Russia's invasion of Ukraine.• The Treaty of Versailles and related settlements redefined Europe through borders that still cause tensions today• World War I was the war that made World War II possible, with unfinished business from 1919 leading to future conflicts• Self-determination principles created challenges when applied to ethnically mixed regions of Central and Eastern Europe• Personalities of leaders at Paris 1919 profoundly influenced outcomes, with Wilson, Clemenceau and Lloyd George negotiating for six months• Germany's refusal to accept defeat and responsibility contributed more to future conflict than actual treaty terms• Russia was excluded from Paris negotiations, reflecting a position of outsider status that continues today• Yugoslavia's creation and eventual violent breakup stemmed directly from decisions made in 1919• Current European security questions echo issues faced after both world wars about preventing future conflicts• The 80-year European peace since WWII remains historically unusual given the continent's conflict-filled past• Great powers today remain cautious about direct confrontation due to the potentially catastrophic consequencesCheck out more at bookclues.com and on YouTube at Crossword Author Interviews – don't forget to like and subscribe!

Show Notes This week on MSB - it's the research from 10.44: Hope Springs Eternal! This is part four of our series on Yugoslavia and its influence on Victory Gundam, and the second of three research pieces covering World War II in Yugoslavia. This week we follow the Partisans, who led the resistance against the fascist occupation, from the beginning of the uprising through to what may have been their lowest point in the summer of 1943. Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/.

Dr. Kuburic sheds light on the psychological motivations behind trauma dumping, its impact on relationships, and how individuals can navigate these interactions with empathy and boundaries. Dr. Sara Kuburic is an existential psychotherapist, consultant, writer, and former USA Today columnist, known for her popular Instagram account, @millennial.therapist, where she shares insights on mental health and self-discovery. Born in Yugoslavia and raised in Canada, Dr. Kuburic completed her doctorate in psychotherapy science at Sigmund Freud University in Vienna. Her diverse background and personal experiences living through wars have fueled her passion for helping others live authentic, meaningful lives. In her new book, "It's On Me," she guides readers toward self-awareness, self loss, and finding out who they truly are.

Show Notes Victory Gundam ep. 43 This week on MSB: Victory Gundam episode 43. We meet a new BESPA character who will surely be around for a long time, talk about comets and their characteristics, wonder whether Fuala Griffon is a Char or some other legacy character back for revenge, and find that our opinions of Uso's after school special dilemma diverge pretty widely. The research this week returns to Yugoslavia for Part 3 of our history of the Yugoslav Wars. Please listen to it! Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/. We would like to thank The Lenape Center for guiding us in creating this living land acknowledgment.
