  • The Book of Ser Marco Polo, the Venetian, also known as Il Milione or The Travels of Marco Polo, is an iconic 13th-century travelogue crafted by Rustichello da Pisa from the tales of Marco Polo. Chronicling Polos adventurous journeys through Asia, Persia, China, and Indonesia between 1271 and 1291, this work has captivated readers since the 14th century, solidifying Polos status as the quintessential explorer. The narrative highlights Marco Polos significant role at the court of Kublai Khan, providing an intriguing glimpse into a world of wonder and discovery. Written in Old French during his imprisonment in Genoa, Rustichello skillfully captures Polos vivid experiences. This audiobook features the 1903 third edition of Sir Henry Yules translation, revised by Henri Cordier. Join us as we embark on this extraordinary journey through the marvels of the East.

  • The Punic Wars (264-146 B.C.) were a series of conflicts between the rapidly expanding Roman Republic and the Phoenician Sea empire, Carthage. Both sides expended enormous resources assembling armies and building and rebuilding fleets. Hannibal crossed the Alps and the Romans, for the first time, confronted war elephants. The struggle featured heroic personalities, brilliant battles, terrible sieges, cruelty, craft, and for Carthage, devastation and ruin. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)

  • The Balkans: a jagged peninsula where continents collide, empires crumble, and the fate of Europe is forged. From the Illyrian tribes and Roman province of Illyricum to the Byzantine 'shatter zone' after the Fourth Crusade, this region has been a crossroads of civilizations. Join hosts Lucas and Luna as they unravel the story of the Balkans, tracing the rise of the Bulgarian Empire under Tsar Simeon I, the Serbian zenith of Stefan Dušan, and the centuries-long Ottoman domination that reshaped faith, language, and identity. They explore the pivotal Battle of Kosovo (1389), the long shadow of the 'Millet' system, and the explosive 19th-century national awakenings that led to the Balkan Wars and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo—the spark that ignited World War I. The narrative continues through the turbulent 20th century: the interwar Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the brutal Partisan and Chetnik conflicts, Tito's socialist federation, and the violent breakup of the 1990s, including the siege of Sarajevo and the Srebrenica genocide. Along the way, Lucas and Luna examine how geography, religion (Orthodox, Catholic, Islam), and great-power rivalries (Austria-Hungary, Russia, the Ottoman Empire) conspired to make the Balkans a perpetual 'powder keg.' They also delve into cultural legacies: the epic poetry of gusle players, the soaring stone bridges of Mostar, and the unique syncretic traditions of Bogomilism and the Bosnian Church. Why does this small region still shape global headlines? This show offers a sweeping, nuanced tour through the Balkans' layered past—where every mountain pass holds a story of resistance, and every city square bears the weight of history.#Balkans #History #WorldHistory #FexingoHistory #Podcast #OttomanEmpire #ByzantineEmpire #Yugoslavia #BattleOfKosovo #ArchdukeFranzFerdinand #Illyrians #Srebrenica #Tito #Sarajevo #BalkanWars #Mostar #Gusle #TreatyOfBerlinKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Subtitled "The Bastille", Volume 1 of Thomas Carlyle's three volume "The French Revolution: A History" was first published in 1837, and covers the events of the French Revolution up to the forced move of Louis XVI from Versailles to Paris. While a modern listener not already familiar with the events described here may need some time to get their bearings amidst a sea of unfamiliar names and allusions, Carlyle's idiosyncratic yet justly famous present-tense, quasi-firsthand narrative quickly builds into a gripping, highly dramatic story which contemporary scholars still regard as being essentially accurate. It may help the reader to understand that the term 'Oeuil de Boeuf' signifies the palace of the French King, and that references to 'Jean Jacques' are to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, whose 1755 book "The Social Contract" argued that 'we are obliged to obey only legitimate powers'. - Summary by Peter Dann

  • In the mid-1970s, a man burst onto the evangelical scene with a shocking tale: claiming to be a former witch involved in human sacrifices among elite circles. After converting to Christianity, he toured the nation warning of hidden Satanists and spoke about a secret organization known as the Illuminati. John Todd preached salvation to frightened congregations, urging them to prepare for a world takeover by stockpiling weapons and retreating to remote areas. But John Todd was no saint; he was not the good, honest Christian he claimed to be. He was running from his past. As his influence peaked and his teachings spread through countless tapes, his facade crumbled, and he vanished. Yet, his legacy endured, inspiring acts of extreme violence from Ruby Ridge, Waco, PizzaGate, QAnon right through to the steps of the Capitol on January 6th.

  • Classic Episodes from Dave Emory Spitfirelist.com and For The Record

    David Emory is a political researcher and broadcaster whose California-based radio programs are heard on a regular basis in the United States, Canada and Europe.

    Mr. Emory’s broadcasts focus on the U.S. military and intelligence community’s historical involvement with international fascism. Researching such national security establishment abuses as domestic and foreign political assassinations, and governmental complicity with organized crime and drug smuggling syndicates, Mr. Emory has distilled his academic research into an archival documentary format. These “archive” programs consist of excerpts from printed sources read during his broadcasts.

    Mr. Emory’s programs have been featured on a regular basis on Pacifica stations KPFK (Los Angeles) and WBAI (New York), and many smaller stations. He has appeared as guest on major commercial stations including KGO-AM (San Francisco) and WLUP-AM (Chicago) and as an expert commentator on broadcast outlets in three continents. Audio cassette copies of the archive programs are also circulated internationally.

    Mr. Emory began his work during the Watergate era when he noted numerous connections between that scandal and the assassination of President Kennedy. Pursuing his work on the JFK assassination, Mr. Emory discovered Nazi General Reinhard Gehlen’s Eastern front spy apparatus, and its incorporation into the CIA after World War II. This led Mr. Emory to study the origins of fascism and its influence on the contemporary world.

    Mr. Emory graduated from Amherst College with a B.A. in psychology.

  • The second installment in a provocative trilogy set during the Reconstruction era, The Clansman (1905) follows The Leopards Spots (1902) and precedes The Traitor (1907). This novel, which inspired the 1915 silent film classic The Birth of a Nation, weaves a fictional narrative that captures Thomas Dixon Jr.s perspective on the origins of the first Ku Klux Klan—shaped in part by his uncles role as a Grand Titan during his youth. It explores the motivations behind the white southern response to the perceived injustices and social upheaval of the Reconstruction period. While the book has been criticized as dangerous propaganda promoting segregation and white supremacy, it also offers valuable insight into the social dynamics and mindset of many Americans—both North and South—during this tumultuous time. Its impact is evident in the works of later southern authors, influencing literary giants like Margaret Mitchell, William Faulkner, Allen Tate, and Robert Penn Warren. (Michele Fry)
