For history lovers who listen to podcasts, History Unplugged is the most comprehensive show of its kind. It's the only show that dedicates episodes to both interviewing experts and answering questions from its audience. First, it features a call-in show where you can ask our resident historian (Scott Rank, PhD) absolutely anything (What was it like to be a Turkish sultan with four wives and twelve concubines? If you were sent back in time, how would you kill Hitler?). Second, it features long-form interviews with best-selling authors who have written about everything. Topics include gruff World War II generals who flew with airmen on bombing raids, a war horse who gained the rank of sergeant, and presidents who gave their best speeches while drunk.

I familien Rothschilds våbenskjold ses en handske, der holder om fem pile. Historien bag motivet er den, at familiens stamfader, den jødiske bankier Mayer Amschel Rothschild, omkring år 1800 sendte sine fem sønner afsted til fem forskellige europæiske storbyer for her at opstarte selvstændige bankvirksomheder, som skulle videreføre hans indbringende geschæft. De fem byer var Frankfurt, Napoli, Wien, Paris og London. Resultatet blev særdeles vellykket, lad os bare kalde det det. Rothschilderne blev nemlig Europas rigeste og mest magtfulde familie, og deres navn giver ekko i evigheden. Radio24syv har bedt historikeren Thomas Oldrup følge de fem pile i Rothschilds våbenskjold til de fem byer - Frankfurt, Napoli, Wien, Paris og London for at fortælle historien om Rothschild-dynastiet.

Never before has the complete life of Krishna been told in a way that is so engaging and understandable, yet so faithful to the ancient epics of India. Spiritual seekers of all traditions will find inspiration and revitalized faith in these pages.
Sri Krishna Lila describes the extraordinary manifestation of the Eternal in the realm of time that occurred in Krishna, the playful and enchantingly beautiful Deity who embodies the highest truths of India's spiritual wisdom.
While the usual Western image of God as father or monarch is represented in this story, readers will also find here much more -- a refreshing and powerful picture of God as child, playmate, lover, friend, and teacher. They will discover how India conceived the most intimate and joyous experience of God, using the seductive metaphor of the Divine Beloved. What is evoked here is not a religion of moral law and stern obligation, but a spirituality of joy and true desire, love and beauty, contemplation and inner awakening.
This life of Krishna expands our concept of divinity and raises our thoughts to a higher spiritual plane. What does it mean to conceive of God as warrior and king? What does it mean to relate to the Infinite as friend or husband? Such experiences are vividly portrayed in these pages. We are uplifted as we contemplate the unlimited joy of the Eternal, appearing to us in a form combining beauty, strength, and irrepressible playfulness.
Just as the music from Krishna's heavenly flute is irresistibly attractive, so this book will entrance its readers.
In this podcast Mataji Vanamali reads book 1, Bala Lila, of the three books of Sri Krishna Lila, and the first 10 of 33 chapters.
