The genocide and the trial - NBIH

Mar 14, 2010 11:00am

Before I direct you to the two recent issues of New Books in History that touched on the issue of genocide and the trial of the perpetrators, I would want to advise you to listen to an old episode of Philosophy Bites. In this interview Chandran Kukathas of the London...

The battle of The Podcast Parlor

Mar 10, 2010 3:02pm

There is small on-line community that every reader of this blog should be a member of: The Podcast Parlor. I have set up this place for my readers together with podcast reviewers Dara, Baxter and Saeed (and their readers) to have a single place where the good, educational, intellectual podcasts...

New history podcasts to look out for

Mar 9, 2010 9:19pm

In the past weeks several history podcasts that are worth following delivered new content. I will be referring to history podcasts that have little frequency in their release schedule and this may have as a result the new episode is overlooked. First of all, there was a new episode in the...

De Eerste Wereldoorlog in podcast

Mar 9, 2010 8:39pm

Het is hoog tijd dat ik weer eens over Veertien Achttien schrijf. Deze amateur podcast, verzorgd door Tom Tacken, brengt wekelijks een kwartier luisterrijke audio waarin het verloop van de Eerste Wereldoorlog chronologisch op de voet gevolgd wordt en tevens een portret van een van de aanwezigen wordt uitgewerkt. Aan...

Two podcast issues on the History of Haiti

Mar 4, 2010 5:01am

Haiti may be associated with natural disasters, abject poverty and political instability, but it can pride itself in being the product of the one successful slave revolt in history, to be the first republic of black people and to be the second independent state in the Western hemisphere (after the...

Destruction and the end - FITJ

Mar 3, 2010 1:47am

A highly recommended podcast series has finished its subject. Michael Satlow's From Israelite to Jew (feed) has spent 22 shows of around half an hour in a most fascinating, informative and provocative reconstruction of Jewish history from around 500 BCE to 100 CE. As the title indicates, Satlow went to...

New podcasts in February 2010 - Anne is a Man

Feb 28, 2010 4:03am

Four new podcast were reviewed for the first time this month. All of them in the realm of history and three out of the four in European history. It has not only been a quiet month from my part, the readers have also not made new podcast suggestions (as opposed...

Chicken in spinach

Feb 27, 2010 9:12pm

I love spinach. The preparation of my childhood years, boiled with salt and served with egg and nutmeg, was my starting point when I started cooking myself, but from there I got to know it in pastry and with meat and poultry. My favorite recipe is chicken in spinach and...

Historical Jesus (2) - Philip Harland

Feb 25, 2010 3:52am

Here is a quick heads up about the latest section in the podcast series Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean (feed). After I had written about its kick off last month, two new episodes have come out. These are still preliminary. Host Philip Harland takes his time in pointing out what...

The Indian Rebellion 1857 - BBC, Berkeley, UCLA

Feb 23, 2010 4:17am

In a short a time, three podcast series have started paying attention to the revolt in India in 1857. What began with disconcerted Indian foot-soldiers in the British colonial army - hence the rebellion is also called a mutiny - extended into a broad revolt which eventually even got the...

Stay tuned, I will be back

Feb 19, 2010 6:58am

As you surely have noticed, I have not been blogging for the last week. The reason was, and is, that I am struck by a rather stubborn cold, that has me partly incapacitated. I have not been listening to new podcasts and I have not had the energy to convert...

Hans Galjaard - Het Marathon Interview

Feb 14, 2010 1:02am

Het jaar 1989 had een ruim aanbod van gedenkwaardige Marathon Interviews. Zojuist verscheen in de nieuwe feed van VPRO's Het Marathoninterview alweer vijf uur om meteen op te halen en te beluisteren: Het interview met Hans Galjaard. Toen ik het interview besprak in 2007 (uit de oude feed van de...

A recent history of Yemen - Rear Vision

Feb 12, 2010 6:23pm

Here is a quick recommendation to the podcast Rear Vision from Australia's ABC. This is a very informative program that gives historical background to current issues. It compiles the explanations and thought from two or three specialists that are interviewed for the show. A good example that would want to recommend...

Revolution, Industry & Empire - UCSD

Feb 12, 2010 6:06pm

Last October, I wrote a post about the modern history courses that are available from Berkeley, Yale, UCLA and UCSD. To sum them up quickly History 5 at Berkeley, European Civilization at Yale, History 1c at UCLA and then there was MMW 4 at UCSD, with the proviso that this...

Europe from its origins - A history of Europe

Feb 10, 2010 3:00am

Here is a podcast I have recently discovered and about which I am very excited: Europe from its origins (feed). The first 10 episodes in the podcast are enhanced podcasts. These are m4a files with slides inside. When you listen to this podcast on iTunes or in iPod, you can...

Nation and Culture - NBIH

Feb 9, 2010 11:39pm

As a citizen of Israel, I am always engaged in understanding the history of the state of Israel, of Zionism and of Judaism as a culture. As a consequence, when I listened to Marshall Poe's interview with Kenneth Moss at New Books in History, I heard all history of Zionism...

Where is the new look going?

Feb 8, 2010 9:00am

In order to cramp down on the overhead my non-standard blogging template entails, I want to change to a standard Blogger template and therefore, the look of this blog will change. I would love to find what you think on the potential looks. I have set up three sample blogs. Two...

Aftermath of victory - Historyzine

Feb 8, 2010 3:08am

Last November Historyzine told the tale of the Battle of Ramillies and a little over a week ago the next episode came out and in it host Jim Mowatt spoke of the aftermath of the battle of Ramillies. And what I have learned here is that it is one thing...

Stone Pages Archaeo News podcast

Feb 7, 2010 7:10am

It showed again in my Friday post: the majority of podcasts I listen to are history podcasts. And in this respect I am an omnivore - I like to listen to all history podcasts. I have no preference for any era or type of history. The reason is as simple...

Mohammed Jabri - Simek 's Nachts uit 2005

Feb 7, 2010 6:37am

De podcasts van Simek 's Nachts zijn podfaded en mijn pogingen om op het internet de files van het programma op te sporen zijn meestal mislukt. Een van de interviews waar nog wel eens naar gevraagd wordt is het dubbel interview dat Martin Simek in 2005 met Mohammed Jabri had....

The Friday portion for Anne is a Man

Feb 5, 2010 9:46am

Every other Friday we clean our home and that means I get some six hours of pretty uninterrupted podcast listening done. Here I will give you an idea what I listened to this morning. Most of these podcasts will soon get a more extensive review. MMW 5 - Revolution, Industry &...

Indus Seal - World History in Objects

Feb 4, 2010 3:53am

Didn't I just ask for more podcasts on the Indus Valley Civilization? (History of India - the search goes on; towards the end of the post) Here was yet another one. In the series A History of the World in 100 Objects (BBC) in the subsection about the first cities...

Your opinion on a new look for Anne is a Man

Feb 3, 2010 9:05am

I keep playing with the regular templates in order to find out if they can fit for the blog. Reader Gerald left a comment and recommended taking a stretched template with a header picture. Stretch in this respect means that the width of the blog is adapted to the size...

Three issues of Speaking of Faith

Feb 2, 2010 7:33am

APM's Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippett is a radio program and podcast that I do not listen to all the time, but I keep a close eye on whatever comes up in the feed. And then I try to to pick out issues that appeal to me most. And...

Bert ter Schegget - Het Marathon Interview

Feb 1, 2010 11:37pm
