"A sane person to an insane society must appear insane." ― Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Not Mad as in Angry, Mad as in Insane.&nbsp; And in an insane world, the sane are simply Mad.&nbsp; I am The Mad Centrist. You can be too! The Mad Centrist podcast is a middle ground, pragmatic, politically polite, and irreverently independent show.&nbsp; Pulling the rug out from beneath Democrats and Republicans alike, while respecting democrats and republican citizens (the distinction between Party and people is critical!).&nbsp; Amusing anecdotes of the crazy world we find ourselves in, how to maybe get along better, and pull the world back towards sanity, and do so while having some fun!

"A sane person to an insane society must appear insane." ― Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Not Mad as in Angry, Mad as in Insane.  And in an insane world, the sane are simply Mad.  I am The Mad Centrist. You can be too! The Mad Centrist podcast is a middle ground, pragmatic, politically polite, and irreverently independent show.  Pulling the rug out from beneath Democrats and Republicans alike, while respecting democrats and republican citizens (the distinction between Party and people is critical!).  Amusing anecdotes of the crazy world we find ourselves in, how to maybe get along better, and pull the world back towards sanity, and do so while having some fun!

This is an interview by the Shoah Foundation in 2004 with my grandma Renée Dertner who survived the Holocaust. She was an eyewitness to Kristallnacht in Vienna, Austria in 1938 and soon after escaped to Malmö, Sweden in 1939. Forever in our hearts, Renée Dertner September 27, 1919 - June 26, 2022.

Daniela Sandner vom Bayerischen Landesverein für Heimatpflege e.V. und Annette Schäfer, Kreisheimatpflegerin des Landkreises Bamberg, stellen euch in diesem Podcast eine Reihe von interessanten Leuten aus dem Landkreis vor. Mit unseren Gesprächen tauchen wir in ganz unterschiedliche Themen ein, die trotzdem auch irgendwie typisch für die Region sind. Vor allem interessieren uns aber die persönlichen Geschichten der Menschen, mit denen wir uns treffen. Wir reden über ihren Lebensweg, das Leben im Landkreis und darüber, was für sie Heimat eigentlich bedeutet.

I love the Middle Ages. I'm a professor of medieval history, part time metalhead, and former Marine, and I think the Middle Ages are awesome. Chances are, if you're here, then you think so too. Whatever brought you here -- maybe you're fan of video games, novels, and role-playing games that hark back to medieval Europe, maybe you find medieval illuminations and stained glass to be heart-breakingly beautiful, or maybe you're just curious -- if you join me for a listen, I think you'll find that this stuff is amazing as well.

The Reeve's Tale: A Medieval Miscellany with Andrew Reeves

Journey through the riveting life of Charles Simeon, a young man of extravagance and indulgence, who is radically transformed by an encounter with the profound truth of the Atonement. His newfound passion for Christianity propels him into a spiritual journey marked by challenges, opposition, and relentless determination. Listen as we delve into the tumultuous years of his ministry at Trinity Church, where he faced resistance, ridicule, and severe testing of his faith. Yet through it all, Simeons unwavering devotion to his calling paved the way for a powerful evangelical movement that not only filled the halls of Trinity Church but resonated far beyond its walls. The depth of Simeons influence in the Church is beautifully captured in this compelling narrative, drawn from A History of the Evangelical Party in the Church of England by GR Balleine.

For the Term of His Natural Life, penned by Marcus Clarke, first appeared in the Australian Journal from 1870 to 1872 (initially titled His Natural Life) and was published as a novel in 1874. Renowned as the quintessential portrayal of convict life in early Australian history, this gripping tale unfolds the harrowing journey of Rufus Dawes, a young man wrongfully convicted of murder and transported to a penal colony. With vivid descriptions of the brutal conditions faced by convicts—many sent away for minor offenses—the novel immerses readers in a world of injustice and survival. Clarkes compelling narrative, enriched by meticulous research and his visit to the notorious Port Arthur penal settlement in Tasmania, reveals the stark realities of a dark chapter in Australias past.

For the Term of His Natural Life

The great civil liberties we enjoy today, like Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press, have their foundation in Freedom of Thought. Without being able to freely explore all kinds of matter with an inquisitive mind, whether it be religious, political, societal, scientific, etc., any expression thereof is limited in and of itself. John Bagnell Bury tells the history of freedom of thought from its roots in Ancient Greece and Rome through the dark and restrictive Middle Ages and its renewed liberation in the Renaissance and the Reformation until the Rationalism of the 17th - 19th centuries. The focus of this book is on religious freethought, but the ideas and values of freedom of thought can be applied to any subject where rigorous thinking is beneficial. (Summary by Ava)
