Baron Munchausen and his Father Donald
A story for our times
This is the story of Baron Munchausen also known as Baron the younger, and his father, Donald the elder.
It seems that the Munchausen line had a rare genetic disorder, which leads to an incapability to distinguish been truth and falsehoods leading at times to assertions that other people considered to be impossible claims and exaggerations of their achievements.
The condition known as Munchausen syndrome is becoming better known as medical studies continue
I can reveal latest research which reveals hitherto unreported evidence about the syndrome.- Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter!

Wokeness. How a concept became a political battleground
Notes for a discussion
Spoken and written by Tudor Rickards
January 13, 2025
The widespread use of the term Woke has been attributed to the American folk and blues singer Huddie William Ledbetter (1888-2049), better known as Lead Belly.
In his performances to people of colour, he popularised the injunction ‘Stay woke’, (stay awake) to those injustices imposed on them.
The term returned in the vocabulary of civil rights activists in America in the 2010s. A tipping point was its use in the rise of the protest movement Black Lives Matter, in 2014 after the shooting of Michael Brown, by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown’s killing and the subsequent events became a national controversy touching on much larger national issues of race, justice, and police violence.- Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter!

The ‘Test next week’ logic puzzle
Spoken and written by Tudor Rickards
January 1st, 2025
A teacher tells her class
"I’m going to give you a test one day next week. I will not tell you the day, so that it will be a surprise for you".
This is a well-known puzzle in logic. Is the teacher correct in saying that the day of the test will be a surprise to her students?
If you haven’t heard this puzzle before, I’m giving you a little time to think about it. Serious thinkers may wish to halt the audio, until you think you have the answer, or have given up on it ...- Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter!

A dramatic turn of events in the battle for the Sunday morning doubles tennis trophy.
The long-awaited final tennis match of the year ended unexpectedly in late December, in a cancellation.
Injuries, and it must be admitted, advancing years, have taken their toll on the competitors.
The event at the Northern tennis, squash, and Paddle centre, has been competed for over several decades, and has been frequently mentioned in local social media in more recent times.
The regular competitors are team William (William and Gordon) representing Didsbury and Sale Dragons, and Team Lindsay, (Lindsay and myself) representing Weaverham and Woodford warriors
These weekly battles remain competitive. But recently, William has playing under enormous pressures from his medical advisors urging him to reduce the intensive training regime he follows ...- Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter!

About TudoRama
From the publisher's feed
TudoRama explores the nature and practice of creativity in the arts, sciences, politics and above all in everyday life. Tudor Rickards is Emeritus Professor of Creativity and Organizational Change at…
the University of Manchester. Tudor studied chemistry and radiation chemistry at The University of Wales at Cardiff. Following post-doctoral research at New York Medical College, he returned to the UK to work in technical management before joining Manchester Business School. He has published numerous books and articles on creativity, sporting management and leadership, as well as fictional works involving the mythical University of Urmston. He has been influential in the development of creativity-related projects in Europe, including the European Association for Creativity and Innovation (EACI), and was co-founder (with Susan Moger) of the journal Creativity and Innovation Management. He is also author of detective stories centred around the fictional University of Urmston, and a nearby chess club which houses a top-secret government surveillance operation. His recent switch to podcasting reaches out to a wider general audience interested in current affairs, and the processes of creativity previously described in his lectures, blogposts, and textbooks.
