  • Spøkelseshistorier handler om det vi frykter mest – og håper aldri skal skje. De forteller om menneskene som levde før oss, og om trådene som fortsatt binder oss sammen. I denne podkasten utforskes virkelige hendelser og mørke kapitler fra fortiden: foreldreløse barn, desperate mødre, englemakersker og forlatte sjeler. Gjennom psykologi, historie, filosofi og kunst ser vi hvorfor spøkelsene vender tilbake – og hva de egentlig forteller oss. For spøkelsene minner oss om virkeligheten. Og den overgår ofte fantasien.

    Produsert av Cecilie Tyri Holt og Stephan Lyngved, med støtte fra Kulturrådet.

  • Genghis Khan rose from the harsh Mongolian steppe to forge the largest contiguous land empire in history, stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Caspian Sea. In this show, Lucas and Luna explore the life of the man born Temüjin, his unification of the Mongol tribes, and the brutal yet innovative military campaigns that shattered the Khwarezmian Empire, the Jin dynasty, and the Tanguts of Western Xia. They examine the Yassa legal code, the creation of the Silk Road's Pax Mongolica, and the controversial legacy of a conqueror who killed millions but also fostered trade, religious tolerance, and cultural exchange across Eurasia. The narrative follows the rise of the Mongol Empire through the reigns of Ögedei, Möngke, and Khubilai Khan, touching on the sack of Baghdad in 1258, the failed invasions of Japan and Vietnam, and the eventual fragmentation into the Yuan, Ilkhanate, Chagatai, and Golden Horde khanates. Debates about Mongol warfare—the use of composite bows, feigned retreats, and siege engineers—and the long-term impact on global history are central. This show is not a hagiography but a probing look at how one man's ambition reshaped the world, raising questions about power, violence, and the price of empire that still resonate today.#GenghisKhan #MongolEmpire #SteppeWarriors #YassaCode #PaxMongolica #SilkRoad #Khwarezm #JinDynasty #Tanguts #BattleOfBaghdad #KhubilaiKhan #GoldenHorde #Ilkhanate #YuanDynasty #CompositeBow #MongolInvasions #WorldHistory #FexingoHistoryKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Iceland's history is a saga of survival on the edge of the Arctic, where volcanic fire meets glacial ice and a fiercely independent people forged a unique identity. This show, hosted by Lucas and Luna, traces Iceland's journey from its Viking settlement in the 9th century—led by Ingólfur Arnarson—through the establishment of the Althing, the world's oldest surviving parliament, in 930 AD. We explore the saga era, where family feuds and epic poetry like the Njáls saga captured the spirit of a Commonwealth without a king. Then comes the tragedy of the Sturlung age, civil war, and the loss of independence to Norway and later Denmark under the Old Covenant of 1262. The show delves into the harsh centuries of Danish rule, the Reformation's violent imposition, the devastation of the Laki eruption in 1783, and the slow resurgence of nationalism led by Jón Sigurðsson. The 19th and 20th centuries saw a peaceful struggle for home rule, culminating in the 1944 republic, while the Cod Wars with Britain defined modern sovereignty. Today, Iceland grapples with its Viking heritage, global tourism, and the legacy of isolation—a microcosm of resilience in a world of change.#Iceland #VikingAge #Althing #IngolfurArnarson #NjalsSaga #SturlungAge #OldCovenant #DanishRule #LakiEruption #JonSigurdsson #HomeRule #RepublicOfIceland #CodWars #VolcanoAndGlacier #HistoryOfIceland #NordicHistory #FexingoHistory #HistoryKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Patriarchs is a six-part audio drama focused on the dynamic between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams during the founding of the United States. Written by award-winning playwright Jim McGrath, the podcast stars America’s preeminent interpreter of Shakespeare Stacy Keach as Thomas Jefferson, and six-time Helen Hayes Award winner Edward Gero as John Adams. Patriarchs opens in Philadelphia at the Continental Congress in 1776 Philadelphia and concludes on Independence Day July 4, 1826.

    During that 50-year span, Patriarchs chronicles the origin of our country through the most consequential relationship in American History: the friendship, rivalry, animosity, and reconciliation of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Through this lens, Patriarchs answers the hard questions about how America began, who paid the price, and what kind of republic it has become. Every scene, every argument, every confession in Patriarchs is drawn from real letters, speeches, and memoirs of the people who created this nation. The result is an intimate drama of brilliant founders who are also flawed fathers, husbands, slaveholders, and partisans.

    In addition to Adams and Jefferson, the podcast includes Abigail Adams, one of the sharpest political minds of the age, whose letters slice cleanly through ego and ideology. With Sally Hemings centered not as rumor but as a speaking, thinking presence whose choices and constraints shape Jefferson’s life, Patriarchs boldly confronts the reality of slavery and sexual exploitation in the founding generation.
