In early 1916, as the shadows of the ill-fated Gallipoli campaign of World War I lingered, renowned English novelist and poet John Masefield—later honored as Englands Poet Laureate—crafted a poignant account of this pivotal moment in history. Masefield delves into the strategic motivations behind the campaign, the immense logistical hurdles faced, and the staggering challenges that lay ahead. Through his evocative narrative, he captures the fierce combat and unyielding determination of British troops, including many brave Australians and New Zealanders, as they valiantly fought to seize the rugged and inhospitable shores of the Dardanelles from the Turkish forces.

Mao Zedong remains one of the most polarizing figures in modern history. Was he the visionary who unified China and lifted millions from poverty, or a tyrant whose utopian experiments caused catastrophic famine? This podcast, hosted by Lucas and Luna, doesn't take sides—it takes a scalpel to the contradictions. We trace Mao's rise from a peasant schoolteacher to the leader of the Chinese Communist Revolution, examining the Long March, the Yan'an years, and the founding of the People's Republic in 1949. We dissect the Great Leap Forward (1958-1962), the resulting Great Chinese Famine that killed tens of millions, and the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) that dismantled institutions and terrorized intellectuals. We explore Mao's strategic mind through the Sino-Soviet split, the Korean War, and his engagement with the Third World. We also confront the cult of personality—the Little Red Book, the slogan 'Serve the People,' and the Mao badge phenomenon. Beyond politics, we discuss the legacy of land reform, women's rights under the Marriage Law, and the destruction of temples. Each episode balances archives, memoirs, and scholarly debates. Whether you see Mao as a revolutionary hero or a ruthless dictator, this show will deepen your understanding of China's turbulent 20th century and the man who shaped it.#MaoZedong #ChineseRevolution #GreatLeapForward #CulturalRevolution #LongMarch #CommunistChina #Maoism #ChineseHistory #20thCenturyHistory #ColdWar #SinoSovietSplit #GreatChineseFamine #LittleRedBook #Tiananmen #PeopleRepublicOfChina #History #WorldHistory #FexingoHistoryKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

Luthersson läser världslitteraturen – en podcast om litterära klassiker som spelades 2013-2023 för Axess Television. Samtalen leds av litteraturdocent Peter Luthersson, som samtalar med kunniga gäster om världslitteraturens stora författarskap och personligheter.
Varför läsa den grekiske historieskrivaren Thukydides? Den brittiske skriftställaren George Orwell? Eller memoar- och tankeboksförfattaren Herbert Tingsten?
Den stora, genomreflekterade litteraturen sätter sin läsare i kontakt med levnadsvillkor och tankemönster som skiljer sig från dem som till vardags omger oss. Den låter oss uppsöka mer eller mindre avlägsna tider och platser. Där möter erfarenheter och uppfattningar om vad som är naturligt eller självklart som förbluffar oss och berikar vårt liv, som utvidgar vårt inre universum och den referensvärld som hjälper oss att orientera oss i tillvaron som människa.

Milton: a Poem is an epic poem by William Blake, written and illustrated between 1804 and 1810. Its hero is John Milton, who returns from heaven and unites with Blake to explore the relationship between living writers and their predecessors. While on earth, Milton also unites with his feminine aspect, Ololon. The poem describes progress toward the apocalyptic union of living and dead, internal and external reality, and male and female.

Tucked between the soaring peaks of the Himalaya and the plains of the Ganges, Nepal has long been a crossroads of cultures, religions, and empires. This show traces the history of the Nepal Valley from the ancient Kirat kingdom through the Licchavi dynasty—whose exquisite stone inscriptions and towering chaityas still stand—to the Malla golden age of art and urbanism in Patan, Bhaktapur, and Kathmandu. Lucas and Luna explore the Newar civilization, the rise of the Shah dynasty under Prithvi Narayan Shah, and the bloody unification campaigns that forged modern Nepal. They delve into the Anglo-Nepalese War, the Treaty of Sugauli, and the Rana oligarchy that closed the kingdom to the outside world for a century. The narrative continues through the 1950 revolution, the panchayat system, the decade-long Maoist insurgency, and the 2008 abolition of the 240-year-old monarchy. Along the way, they examine syncretic Buddhist-Hindu practices, the legend of Swayambhunath, the role of Gurkha soldiers, and the delicate geography that made Nepal a buffer state between British India and Tibet. This is not a simple timeline; it is an inquiry into how a landlocked, multi-ethnic kingdom survived colonialism, globalization, and civil war—and what its past reveals about its present and future. The Himalayas cast long shadows, but the stories of those who lived in them are just as towering.#NepalHistory #HimalayanKingdoms #KathmanduValley #LicchaviDynasty #MallaPeriod #ShahDynasty #PrithviNarayanShah #RanaRegime #GurkhaSoldiers #AngloNepaleseWar #TreatyOfSugauli #MaoistInsurgency #NewarCivilization #Swayambhunath #BuddhismAndHinduism #SouthAsiaHistory #FexingoHistory #HistoryKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
