During the 63-year-long reign of Queen Victoria, seven men took the fateful decision to try to kill her. The seven men were within seconds of changing history – each could have brought the Victorian era to a premature end, yet each has been forgotten to history. This new podcast series narrated by Dr Bob Nicholson will look to answer the question of what led these men to try to kill the most famous and influential woman on the planet.

This is the explosive inside story of James Meredith’s battle to smash the system of white supremacy in the most racially segregated state in 1960s America.

By becoming the first black person to apply to the all-white university of Mississippi – Meredith will draw in the KKK and JFK – and trigger the largest number of troops ever deployed for a single disturbance on US soil.

Across 10 episodes and with US public radio journalist Jenn White as our guide – James Meredith takes us from his childhood in rural Mississippi where racism runs deep – to a pivotal flashpoint in US civil rights history that will be described as the last battle of the American Civil War.

This could be our last opportunity to hear James Meredith tell this story in his own words and in a way that’s never been heard before.

A podcast full of Scottish folklore, folk history and folk traditions brought to you by Scottish Storyteller and author, Eileen Budd

“Essential listening…” Why the US and UK went to war in Iraq and its legacy. Gordon Corera investigates.

Twenty years ago a US-led coalition invaded Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein. The UK was America’s main partner. For many it remains a war based on a lie.

So why did it happen? Why was Washington so fixed on regime change in Iraq? And why did the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, commit the UK to taking part? The BBC’s security correspondent Gordon Corera seeks to find new answers to why the war happened and what it meant.

Gordon speaks to those at the centre of the story, including some of the decision-makers and those living with the consequences. Tony Blair explains his thinking and why he promised to support George Bush. Sir Richard Dearlove, who was head of the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service (also known as Mi6) at the time, defends the role of the intelligence services. The series also hears from the CIA’s head of the Iraqi Operations Group, from weapons inspectors who were under pressure to find Saddam’s WMD, and from Washington insiders.

Gordon also speaks to Iraqis who experienced the “shock and awe” bombing campaign, the post-war instability and the arrival of ISIS.

The series takes a fresh look at what really happened, revealing new information about the decision-making and the failures. And twenty years on, he explores some of the (ongoing) legacies of the invasion.

Você conhece a força da mulher brasileira?

O podcast Heroínas do Brasil nasceu com o propósito de dar voz à trajetória de brasileiras que foram protagonistas em capítulos muito importantes da nossa História: independência, abolicionismo, direito da mulher à educação, ao voto, à escolha de uma profissão.

Em foco, mulheres de fibra, ousadas, intensas, sonhadoras. Mulheres que com muita coragem e ousadia, sozinhas ou com pouco apoio, ajudaram a transformar a realidade ao seu redor. Algumas delas, pioneiras em áreas exclusivamente masculinas.

O convite será viajar ao passado – um, dois, três, quatro, cinco séculos – para conhecer figuras incríveis que enfrentaram preconceitos, romperam padrões e foram muito além dos limites estabelecidos.

Embarque com a gente nessa jornada!
