Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from the death of Adolf Hitler, the first spacewalk and the making of the movie Jaws, to celebrity tortoise Lonesome George, the Kobe earthquake and the invention of superglue. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: Eva Peron – Argentina’s Evita; President Ronald Reagan and his famous ‘tear down this wall’ speech; Thomas Keneally on why he wrote Schindler’s List; and Jacques Derrida, France’s ‘rock star’ philosopher. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the civil rights swimming protest, the disastrous D-Day rehearsal, and the death of one of the world’s oldest languages.
这是一档探讨普通人生活、记录自我成长的播客。面对生命的有限、生活的庸碌以及残酷,我们也许束手无策、悲观懊恼,但依然努力寻找方向和力量。未来漫漫,道阻且长,我们能做的是对自己和世界保持真诚与开放。
两位主播是分别生活在美国和澳洲的好朋友,一边在法律行业出卖苦力,一边在探索一种更自由更有掌控感的生活方式。
