Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father plus daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to bring your riveting stories of history's great women war leaders. In history class, we were all taught the stories of great wartime leaders—but the stories have always been about men. Now, for the first time, listen to a new podcast that brings you the stories of the fearless, powerful women leaders: War Queens. History’s war queens come in all colors, ages, and leadership styles. Elizabeth Tudor and Golda Meir played the roles of high-stakes gamblers who studied maps with an unblinking, calculating eye. Angola’s Queen Njinga was willing to shed (and occasionally drink) blood to establish a stable kingdom in an Africa ravaged by the slave trade. Caterina Sforza defended her Italian holdings with cannon and scimitar, and Indira Gandhi launched a war to solve a refugee crisis. Join Emily Jordan, an historian, along with her father, Jonathan Jordan, an historian and bestselling author, and actor Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones, Fast & Furious, The Maze Runner) every week as we bring you the stories of extraordinary leaders: War Queens. All of them, legends.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England".

Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Nightline: War with Iran ABC News Late-night television's award-winning news program featuring anchors Juju Chang and Byron Pitts.
