This is a collection of essays, verbal sketches, and stories by Washington Irving. Irving lived at the Alhambra Palace while writing some of the material for his book. In 1828, Washington Irving traveled from Madrid, where he had been staying, to Granada, Spain. At first sight, he described it as "a most picturesque and beautiful city, situated in one of the loveliest landscapes that I have ever seen." He immediately asked the then-governor of the historic Alhambra Palace as well as the archbishop of Granada for access to the palace, which was granted because of Irving's celebrity status. Aided by a 35-year old guide named Mateo Ximenes, Irving was inspired by his experience to write Tales of the Alhambra. Throughout his trip, he filled his notebooks and journals with descriptions and observations though he did not believe his writing would ever do it justice. He wrote, "How unworthy is my scribbling of the place." A commemorative plaque in Spanish at the Alhambra reads, "Washington Irving wrote his Tales of Alhambra in these rooms in 1829". The book was instrumental in reintroducing the Alhambra to Western audiences. (Summary by Wikipedia and David Wales)

Lincoln's first inaugural address was delivered on March 4th, 1861, as the North and South were sliding towards separation and Civil War. His second inaugural, given just weeks before his assassination, was also delivered on March 4th but four years later, in 1865. Just over a month later, April 18th, 1865, the Civil War ended with the surrender of the Confederate army. This was four days after Lincoln was shot on April 14th. He died the next day. - Summary by John Greenman

Episode One: Cantona
Eric Cantona’s arrival from Leeds United transformed Manchester United after a 25-year title drought, reshaping the club’s fortunes and igniting the Premier League’s imagination. Internal conflict at Leeds and Cantona’s infamous disciplinary issues under Howard Wilkinson, culminated in a startling twist when Leeds approached United about signing Dennis Irwin. Instead, United countered with an offer for Cantona—setting in motion one of football’s most pivotal transfers and redefining what it meant to be a United legend.

Episode Two: Bitter Rivals
In the late 1990s and early noughties there were no more fierce rivals than Arsenal and Manchester United. From the mass brawl at Old Trafford in 1990, to trading titles in 1997, 1998 and 1999, two epic FA Cup semi-finals and pizzagate, no holds were barred.
---
Episode Three: Knighton
It is 1989 and Michael Knighton is on the Old Trafford pitch juggling a football and scoring at the Stratford End in front of a bemused crowd. Knighton had secured a £20m acquisition of Manchester United, agreeing to purchase shares from then club Chairman Martin Edwards. Yet, within a fortnight the deal had collapsed amid acrimony and accusations that Knighton didn't have the money to complete the deal. This is the inside story from those who covered it on the ground.

Episode Four: Welcome to Hell
In 1993, Manchester United ended the 26-year wait to win a league title. Their reward for that piece of history was to compete in the European Cup. United had qualified for the semi-finals in each of their five campaigns under Sir Matt Busby, winning it in 1968. The club's first foray into the tournament tin almost a quarter of a century was to end in stunning, controversial fashion, with one of the most memorable ties in the history of the competition. This is Manchester United's Welcome to Hell.

10 þátta röð fyrir Rás 1 í umsjón Þorgerðar E. Sigurðardóttur og Halldórs Guðmundssonar.
Ísland og Kaupmannahöfn í spegli bókmenntanna: Í þáttunum verða þessi aldalöngu tengsl skoðuð frá mörgum sjónarhornum. Kaupmannahöfn var í næstum 500 ár eins konar höfuðborg Íslands, aðsetur stjórnsýslunnar, æðsta dómstólsins og konungsins. Sumir Íslendingar hröktust þangað eða voru fluttir til borgarinnar nauðugir, aðrir leituðu þar frelsis og réttinda sem þeir nutu ekki heima. Hvernig kom borgin þeim fyrir sjónir, hvernig breytti hún viðhorfum þeirra eða umturnaði lífshlaupinu? Óvíða sést þetta betur en í bókum Íslendinganna sjálfra og hér verður leitað fanga í þeim og rætt við rithöfunda og ýmsa sérfræðinga, auk þess sem heyra má áhugaverð brot úr safni RÚV í bland við ýmiss konar tónlist. Til verður mynd sem er stundum fögur, stundum óhugnanleg en alltaf forvitnileg.

Leikna sjónvarpsþáttaröðin um Vigdísi Finnbogadóttur hefur verið í þróun í yfir tíu ár enda vandasamt verk að koma uppvexti og mótunaröflum fyrsta þjóðkjörna kvenforseta heims í handritaform. Hvaða áskoranir fylgja því að túlka Vigdísi Finnbogadóttur, konuna sem braut blað í heimssögunni, og hvernig er hægt að endurskapa veröldina sem blasti við íslensku þjóðinni á fimmta til áttunda áratug síðustu aldar?
Í þessum þáttum fáum við innsýn í handrita- og framleiðsluferli þáttanna. Leikstjórar, leikarar, leikmynda- og búningahönnuðir eru meðal þeirra sem sitja fyrir svörum og segja okkur sögurnar bakvið tjöldin.

Ρωσία: από τους Βίκινγκς στους Τσάρους
Η ιστορία των Ρως εξετάζεται ως ένα διαρκές παλίμψηστο όπου διαφορετικοί πολιτισμοί και εξουσίες συνέθεσαν τη Ρωσία.
Η κάθοδος των Βίκινγκς από τη Σκανδιναβία έφερε τους πολεμιστές σε επαφή με σλαβικά φύλα, ιδρύοντας οικισμούς που εξελίχθηκαν σε μεγάλα κέντρα όπως το Κίεβο και το Νόβγκοροντ. -

Veturinn 1987 sigldi lítið skip undir fölsku flaggi inn í Gulahaf. Um borð voru sjö menn, ráðnir af bandarísku leyniþjónustunni til að ferja sérlega viðkvæman og mikilvægan farm til Bandaríkjanna, og í stafni stóð Íslendingur.
Lífshlaup vélstjórans Birgis Þórs Helgasonar er lyginni líkast. Hann lék mikilvægt hlutverk í varnarmálum Vesturlanda í algerri kyrrþey en hér segir hann ævisögu sína, af sjóskaða, bróðurmissi og að sjálfsögðu eldflaugaförinni, í fyrsta skipti.

History class just got hilariously inappropriate.
Kristin Caruso, co-host of the true crime comedy podcast, Let’s Go To Court (14M+ downloads), and Norman Caruso, creator of the Gaming Historian YouTube channel (1M+ subscribers), team up to deliver a history podcast that is well researched, wide-ranging, and deeply silly.
In other words, this is a podcast for intellectuals. Intellectuals who make fart jokes. -
