How did the United States Constitution become the supreme law of the land? Who wrote it? What issues did they face? Why is the Constitution important to us today? The Constitution is under attack at the same time few Americans can answer simple questions about what it says and what it means. Becoming America: The Constitutional Convention of 1787 addresses these important issues in a unique blend of interviews with nationally acclaimed scholars and experts and lively, upbeat songs from the new musical “Convention: The Birth of America.” Designed for “we the people” of all ages, Becoming America will take you on a tour of America in 1787 and in-person encounters with Presidents George Washington and James Madison. Sponsored by the Center for Civics Education at Concordia University Irvine, each of seventeen episodes is co-hosted by Dr. Jo Ellen Chatham, Judge James P. Gray (retired) and the Honorable Bijan Kian.An underlying theme is the notion that “The United States of America is the perfect idea. The United States of America is a work in progress.” How do we, as Americans, continue to build on the original principles of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and equality under the law? Only a basic understanding of those principles, their origin and purpose, and commitment to their fulfillment can we assure their endurance and applicability to all Americans and those who live here.Becoming America promises to inform, inspire and entertain you through an historic journey unique in the history of the world and foundational to how our government was established and has endured for more than two hundred thirty years. The Constitution is ours. It belongs to us, “we the people.”

Hungary's story is a thousand-year saga of kingdom and resistance, from the coronation of Stephen I in 1000 AD to the 1956 uprising against Soviet domination. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the triumphs and tragedies of a nation perched at the crossroads of Europe. The Árpád dynasty forged a Christian kingdom that withstood Mongol invasion in 1241, only to fall at Mohács in 1526, splitting the land between Ottoman occupation and Habsburg rule. The Hungarian nobility preserved national identity through the Reformation, the anti-Habsburg kuruc rebellions, and the 1848 Revolution led by Lajos Kossuth. The Compromise of 1867 created the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary, a great power that collapsed after World War I, losing two-thirds of its territory in the Treaty of Trianon. The interwar period saw regent Miklós Horthy, alliance with Nazi Germany, and the tragedy of the Holocaust. Post-war communism under Mátyás Rákosi gave way to the 1956 revolution, crushed by Soviet tanks but leaving a legacy of defiance. The peaceful end of communism in 1989 led to EU membership in 2004. Along the way, the show explores Hungarian culture: the poetry of Sándor Petőfi, the music of Franz Liszt, the paprika-rich cuisine, and the enduring symbol of the Holy Crown. Why does Hungary, a small landlocked nation, loom so large in European history? Because its story is one of survival against empires—and the fierce pride that endures.#KingdomOfHungary #RpDDynasty #BattleOfMohCs #OttomanHungary #HabsburgHungary #LajosKossuth #Revolution1848 #AustriaHungary #TreatyOfTrianon #MiklSHorthy #HungarianHolocaust #1956Revolution #SovietOccupation #HungarianUprising #HolyCrown #History #EuropeanHistory #FexingoHistoryKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Divine Comedy (Italian: Commedia, later christened "Divina" by Giovanni Boccaccio), written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321, is widely considered the central epic poem of Italian literature, the last great work of literature of the Middle Ages and the first great work of the Renaissance. A culmination of the medieval world-view of the afterlife, it establishes the Tuscan dialect in which it is written as the Italian standard, and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature. - The Divine Comedy is composed of three canticas (or "cantiche") — Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Paradise) — composed each of 33 cantos (or "canti"). The very first canto serves as an introduction to the poem and is generally not considered to be part of the first cantica, bringing the total number of cantos to 100. - The poet tells in the first person his travel through the three realms of the dead, lasting during the Easter Triduum in the spring of 1300.

Dive into the enchanting world of the Kalevala, a 19th-century epic poem masterfully compiled by Elias Lönnrot from the rich tapestry of Karelian and Finnish oral folklore and mythology. Revered as the national epic of Karelia and Finland, this monumental work has significantly shaped Finnish literature and identity. The Kalevala not only fueled the spirit of Finnish nationalism but also played a crucial role in the movement that led to Finlands independence from Russia in 1917. The first edition, known as The Old Kalevala, emerged in 1835, while the more widely recognized version was published in 1849, encompassing an impressive 22,795 verses across fifty songs. The title itself can be interpreted as The Land of Kaleva or Kalevia. If the rhythm resonates with you, it may be because Henry Wadsworth Longfellow drew inspiration from its distinctive trochaic tetrameter in his renowned Song of Hiawatha. Among the five complete English translations of the Kalevala, only the earlier works by John Martin Crawford and William Forsell Kirby have faithfully adhered to the original rhythmic structure known as Kalevala meter. The influence of this epic extends to modern literature, inspiring writers like J. R. R. Tolkien, who wove elements of its style and content into his iconic Lord of the Rings trilogy. - Summary by Wikipedia (edited and supplemented by Expatriate)

Michel de Montaigne, a contemporary of Shakespeare, emerged from the tumult of Frances devastating wars of religion to embrace a life of reflection and introspection. In the tranquil setting of his estates, he turned to writing about the most profound subject he knew—himself. Through his insights on personal likes and dislikes, historical reflections, and tales of love and travel, Montaigne captures not just his own essence, but the essence of all humanity. His famous query, What do I know? invites us to ponder our own souls and experiences. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)
