  • Happily Ever After? #4: Sexist Fairy Tales

    Happily Ever After? -- the show where we revisit the fairy tales we fell in love with once upon a time. We've been speaking to scholars about the history and meaning of fairy tales, and what we've heard has been pretty positive. But if you're a child or a parent, would you read these stories from a different perspective?

  • Stealing Art for Hitler

    When Adolf Hitler was in power, the Nazis systematically plundered artwork and all manner of cultural property from the many territories they occupied. At the heart of that operation was Hildebrand Gurlitt, perhaps one of the greatest art thieves in the world. He successfully amassed over 1,400 pieces of art, including pieces by Chagall, Picasso and Matisse. Part of that collection, valued at 1.4bn, was only discovered 80 years later, in the apartment of his son Cornelius Gurlitt. We speak to author Susan Ronald about this notorious cultural heist.

Why should this be of any interest to us, you ask? Because Malaysia is represented by Independence-X Aerospace Malaysia, and will be competing against the likes of India, the US and Israel; countries that are light years away in space technology. Independence-X's CEO Izmir Yamin, speaks to us about the journey so far.
