Hærfører er en dansk, fortællende historiepodcast, hvor Adam Holm sammen med militærhistoriker Jakob Sørensen går tæt på de hærførere og konflikter, der har formet verdenshistorien. I grundigt researchede, flerdelte episoder åbnes generalernes og soldaternes virkelige planer, dilemmaer og skæbnesvangre beslutninger: fra Eisenhower og beslutningen om D-dag, til Rommel, general Kuribayashis sidste kamp på Iwo Jima, den danske krigshelt Anders Lassen, Montgomery, Schwarzkopf og Moshe Dayan. Det er krigshistorie fortalt som nærværende, cinematisk drama, der også spørger, hvorfor de samme mønstre bliver ved med at gentage sig.

Don Quixote is an early novel written by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Cervantes created a fictional origin for the story in the character of the Morisco historian, Cide Hamete Benengeli, whom he claims to have hired to translate the story from an Arabic manuscript he found in Toledo's bedraggled old Jewish quarter. The protagonist, Alonso Quixano, is a minor landowner who has read so many stories of chivalry that he descends into fantasy and becomes convinced he is a knight errant. Together with his companion Sancho Panza, the self-styled Don Quixote de la Mancha sets out in search of adventures. His "lady" is Dulcinea del Toboso, an imaginary object of his courtly love crafted from a neighbouring farm girl by the illusion-struck "knight" (her real name is Aldonza Lorenzo, and she is totally unaware of his feelings for her. In addition, she never actually appears in the novel). Published in two volumes a decade apart, Don Quixote is the most influential work of literature to emerge from the Spanish Golden Age and perhaps the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature, it regularly appears at or near the top of lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published. (Summary from Wikipedia)

In Zwijgen aan Zee ontdekt Roeland wat er in 1915 werkelijk gebeurde aan boord en waarom het verhaal zo lang verborgen bleef. Zijn onderzoek neemt onverwachte wendingen door geheime archieven, langs boze nabestaanden en gestolen documenten.

The purpose of this project is to critically evaluate the history of Stalin and Stalinism. Since the beginning of the Cold War, the selective rendition of Soviet history has been used to delegitimise socialist political movements globally, whilst simultaneously downplaying or ignoring the multiple horrors inflicted on colonised populations by capitalist imperialism. Stalinism as a concept has been central to the denigration of ‘actually existing socialism’, and is often portrayed as the end result or final consequence of any attempt to build real socialist alternatives.
Many self-proclaimed socialists in the West have adopted the capitalist telling of Soviet history wholesale, abandoning any attempts at materialist analysis altogether. But to place all the blame for the failures of the Soviet Union with Stalin alone is both intellectually lazy and politically dangerous. Unless the Left learns from the mistakes of history it is doomed to repeat them.
Until the opening of the Soviet Archives by Gorbachev after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, most history on the Stalin era was written based on scant empirical evidence, predominantly from Trotsky or other anecdotal sources from political enemies. Despite obvious bias, these interpretations of events were taken as fact by most Western historians during the Cold War, especially after Khrushchev's "secret speech" in 1956, following Stalin's death. These sources formed the foundation of anti-Soviet Cold War propaganda.
Starting any discussion about actually existing socialism from the assumption that the version of history put forward by the capitalist superstructure is true prime-facie, rather than challenging its ideologically distorted assertions, puts socialists at a disadvantage rhetorically. Responding to accounts of the many tragedies that occurred in the Soviet Union with claims that:
”it was all Stalin’s fault”,
“it wasn’t really socialism”, or
“our version would of socialism be different’,
is not a convincing rebuttal for non-partisan observers. The Left needs to start seriously engaging with its own history, and taking accountability for it, if it wants to win the hearts and minds of the people it seeks to liberate.
This podcast is a modest attempt to provide an overview of the relatively new literature on the history of the Soviet Union under Stalin, which has been slowly emerging since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Most of this new history has not been written by Marxists or Socialists, but instead by authors with liberal or conservative sympathies. The gradual fading away of Cold War polemics since the collapse of the Soviet Union has created space for higher levels of academic integrity, based on the judicious use of newly abundant primary source material.
Unsubstantiated pseudo-psychology, once prevalent in Stalin biographies, has given way to trenchant criticisms of Marxist ideology itself as the root cause of all socialist evils. Far from being an irrelevant topic of the past, critical engagement with the latest revisions to the history of Stalinism is consequential to winning the argument for a socialist future. -

The Byzantine Empire, or the Eastern Roman Empire, endured for over a millennium after the fall of the West, preserving Roman law, Greek learning, and Orthodox Christianity. This podcast explores its rise from Constantinople's foundation by Constantine the Great to its tragic fall in 1453. Hosts Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the reigns of Justinian I and Theodora, the Nika Revolt, the Hagia Sophia, and the codification of Roman law. We delve into the iconoclastic controversies, the Macedonian Renaissance, and the Komnenian restoration. The empire's military innovations—Greek fire, the thematic system, and elite Varangian Guard—are examined alongside its diplomatic strategies and silk monopoly. Key figures like Basil II the Bulgar-Slayer and Anna Komnene come to life. The show covers the Great Schism of 1054, the Fourth Crusade's sack of Constantinople in 1204, and the Palaiologan revival. We discuss the empire's legacy in art, liturgy, and Slavic civilization. Why does Byzantium matter? It shaped Eastern Europe, bridged antiquity and modernity, and offers lessons on resilience and adaptation. Join us as we unravel a civilization that refused to die.#ByzantineEmpire #EasternRomanEmpire #Constantinople #JustinianTheGreat #Theodora #HagiaSophia #GreekFire #VarangianGuard #Iconoclasm #MacedonianRenaissance #Komnenos #BasilII #AnnaKomnene #FourthCrusade #GreatSchism #Palaiologos #History #FexingoHistoryKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

From the medieval kingdom of Tomislav to the gunfire that shattered Yugoslavia, Croatia’s story is a hinge of European history. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through a thousand years of shifting borders, dynastic struggles, and cultural survival. They explore the rise of the Trpimirović dynasty, the personal union with Hungary, and the long shadow of the Ottoman advance — including the pivotal 1566 Battle of Szigetvár and the enduring legacy of the Military Frontier. The show examines Dubrovnik’s golden age as a maritime republic, the Illyrian movement’s 19th-century national revival, and the turbulent 20th century: the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the Ustaše regime, Tito’s federation, and the bitter Homeland War of the 1990s. Each episode unpacks how geography — the Adriatic coast, the Dinaric Alps, the Pannonian plain — shaped a nation caught between empires. No episode is complete without discussing Croatian cultural touchstones: the Glagolitic script, the UNESCO-protected klapa singing, and the stone walls of Ston. By the end, you’ll understand why Croatia’s past still echoes in its EU membership, its border disputes, and its quest for identity in a united Europe. This is a history of resilience, not just a list of kings and treaties.#Croatia #CroatianHistory #MedievalEurope #DubrovnikRepublic #TrpimirovicDynasty #OttomanWars #BattleOfSzigetvar #IllyrianMovement #AustroHungarianEmpire #KingdomOfYugoslavia #Ustase #Tito #HomelandWar #GlagoliticScript #KlapaSinging #AdriaticSea #FexingoHistory #HistoryKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

Membership is informal. Discretion is not.
In this on-location series, Angus Blair and David Ludlow take you inside the real rooms where espionage history was made — the corner tables, hotel suites, smoky clubs and quiet side streets where spies exchanged envelopes and empires quietly shifted.
These are not fictional thrillers. These are the real stories of charming traitors, elegant double agents and the cities that made them.
New city. New spy. Same bad behaviour.

A group of young explorers set out for Antarctica carrying a fragile piece of history, but reaching its final destination would be anything but certain.
77 Degrees South is a six-part podcast series from Antarctic Heritage Trust following eight rangatahi (young people) on the Inspiring Explorers Expedition™ to the Ross Sea, Antarctica. Travelling aboard Heritage Expeditions’ 'Heritage Adventurer', the team embarks on a remarkable journey to some of Antarctica’s most significant historic sites, while attempting to return a carefully restored copy of The Count of Monte-Cristo to its original home inside Scott’s Discovery hut. Along the way, listeners are taken inside the huts of Scott and Shackleton, where everyday objects remain almost exactly as they were left more than a century ago. Through these extraordinary places, the team discovers the human stories of Antarctic exploration, develops a deeper connection to the continent's heritage, and reflects on their own role in protecting its future. The series also offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the Antarctic Heritage Trust’s world-leading conservation work, protecting these fragile sites in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
