Story
Perhaps thanks to TV period dramas, the popular imagination may picture the Edwardian era as an idyllic window between the wars, a time of manners and tea on the lawn. But below the surface lies a frenetic and often bizarre age where scientific leaps forward went hand in hand with belief in fairies, and secrets of sex, lies and murder simmered. Across 12 episodes, in this sequel to his Victorian Secrets, Stephen Fry uncovers some of the startling and unexpected hidden histories of the Edwardians.

Story
A five part series exploring how the story of Western ideology may have unfolded differently in the 20th Century, based on the undelivered speeches of world leaders. Features academics, writers and historians talking to presenter Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. Tracking through the 20th century, from the Western heroic rhetoric borne of Allied success in the D-Day Landings, all the way to Britain's present day relationship with Europe, we'll explore the fragile balance of power, nuclear armament, warfare, heroic narratives and the spread of democratic protest throughout the world.

Story
Col nome di Belle Époque si indica il periodo storico che va da fine ‘800 agli anni ’20 del ‘900. Sono gli anni della nascita del tempo libero e delle vacanze, delle grandi scoperte (dalla lampadina al vaccino al cinema), della nascita del concetto di consumo, della rivoluzione delle comunicazioni con la radio. Il podcast ci porta in quest’epoca di grandi trasformazioni, e nel suo epicentro, Parigi, per raccontarci come quegli anni abbiano contribuito in maniera decisiva a delineare il mondo di oggi, anche con la nascita del moderno spettacolo di intrattenimento.

Story
"XX Discorsi" è il podcast che accompagna l’ascoltatore in un viaggio nella RetoStoria, la storia interpretata attraverso la retorica dei grandi discorsi. I fatti del XX secolo sono illustrati attraverso i discorsi pronunciati dai suoi protagonisti. Dal discorso del presidente statunitense Thomas Woodrow Wilson, che nel 1918 provò a “progettare” un mondo in pace, fino all’ultimo discorso di François Mitterand del 1995, che chiuse idealmente il secolo.
