German surrender brought the Second World War in Europe to an end. But all feared that war with Japan would drag on and on. Behind the scenes, the US had been working on a secret weapon – the most powerful ever devised – and by August 1945… it was no longer such a secret. These films explore A-Bomb in Pop Culture or: How The West Has Changed its Portrayal of the Atomic Bomb Through Time, from the dropping of the very first atomic bomb, through to the Cold War and right up to the present day. The films conclude by asking whether or not these types of weapon should have existed in the first place, and questioning what the future holds for the A-Bomb.
The films relate to the Open University Course A327 Europe 1914-1989: war, peace, modernity -

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the approach to medicine was vastly different from today. Health is now recognised, at least in most European countries, as a universal right, but what was it like in the past? How did social and political boundaries affect access to treatment, and what were the treatments of the day? This unit examines how Scottish healthcare institutions were influenced by these underlying social, economic, political and cultural contexts. This study unit is just one of many that can be found on LearningSpace, part of OpenLearn, a collection of open educational resources from The Open University. Published in ePub 2.0.1 format, some feature such as audio, video and linked PDF are not supported by all ePub readers.

History: Tom Assheton and James Jackson explore the past. Man has led a bloody charge through the millennia, and we have a good look at why. Why so violent. What happened to bring about these bloody events. We discuss, we interview, and we explain how it is that history so often explodes into violence.
But hey, it's not all doom and gloom: we have dogs in action, mad dictators, and brave and unsung heroes. We have Bloody Battles, Bloody Objects and some shorter Bloody Bites. History is our hinterland, the past that influences our present and future.
It will be Bloody, it will be Violent ... so it goes

The story of World War One has been told from every point of view, from every angle, by countless historians, amateurs, authors, and soldiers, a thousand times over and a bit more than that. Brilliant scholars, popular podcasters, and authors ranging from Keegan to Hemingway have scoured the Great War for truth and answers. For decades they have been shining a light into every trench, wading through every muddy decision and its deadly results, collecting the millions of tales about life during the Great War. With each passing year, we move further from the events themselves. Time has marched to its eternal drum beat, inexorably erasing the collective memories of the horrors that followed that idyllic 1914 summer.
Our show intends to share the story of the First World War in a way that is unlike any before – from three very important perspectives: bird’s eye, ground level, and perhaps most importantly… human. Each episode will cover an offensive, battle, engagement, skirmish, or dust-up by starting at the strategic level and broadly affixing its story within a proper macrocosmic context. Nicole will cover the key players, war-wide implications, and big-picture narrative as to where each event stands in the timeline of World War One. The second component zooms into the tactical aspect. Mike will tackle a particular aspect of the fighting and deliver details on how the engagement unfolded; this includes specifics on the combatant operations, what weapons were used, and more. Then in the final part of the episode, Cullen will provide a ground-level human account of the event in question. Famous warriors, iconic moments, soldiers’ personal experiences, and the odd or exciting stories warfare generates by the thousands.
To forget the Great War would be to damn the countless thousands that died unknown and unaccounted. It is a great passion and pleasure for Nicole, Mike, and Cullen to “do their bit” and share the lessons and stories of the lives lived, lost, and long past. Though we aim to entertain and educate, we must always honor and never forget.
Thank you for listening!

There will always be something distinct about our present day, yet history haunts. American democracy is at a crossroads and we have to decide who we really are as a nation. This moment begs us all to look to our past to help understand our present and to imagine a better future. In the aftermath of the carnage of the Civil War, the nation struggled to give shape to a country drenched in blood. In many ways, we are still fighting old battles and still trapped in assumptions that blocked the way to imagining a new America. Written and narrated by award-winning author and Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University, Dr. Eddie S. Glaude, History is US asks questions about who we are as a nation, and what race might reveal about our current crisis. Through the voices of distinguished historians and scholars, this limited series gives listeners the background and education to understand how we got here and how we can all use history to clarify the choices before us.
History is US is an Audacy original presented in partnership with Shining City Audio and Jon Meacham Studio.
