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

Una serie in 5 episodi di Topic, scritta e condotta da Eugenio Signoroni, e prodotta da Piano P, che vi porta alla scoperta del Bitto e del Valtellina Casera DOP, delle persone che li producono e dei luoghi che li custodiscono.
La Valtellina è un luogo tanto splendido quanto poco conosciuto. Tra vette maestose e pascoli secolari, borghi di pietra scura e vigneti appesi alle pareti rocciose, sono custoditi due formaggi che raccontano del rapporto dell'uomo con queste terre. Il Bitto e il Valltellina Casera DOP sono un patrimonio gastronomico non solo di questa regione ma dell'intero Paese e meritano di essere conosciuti.
Attraverso le vicende delle persone che abitano questa valle, scopriremo la storia e le caratteristiche di questo luogo e i dettagli della produzione casearia, e ci interrogheremo sul presente e sul futuro del territorio montano e dei suoi frutti più preziosi.
Un’iniziativa finanziata dal Fondo Europeo Agricolo per lo Sviluppo Rurale (FEASR) attraverso il Complemento di Sviluppo Rurale del Piano Strategico della PAC della Regione Lombardia 2023–2027. Info
