Film in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia
<p><strong>Our second podcast takes a look at the development of film in Germany and Russia between the first and second world wars. We explore how these countries both experienced ‘golden ages’ of cinema in the 1920s, before the artistic freedom of the cinema was crushed by the totalitarian impulses of the Nazi and Soviet regimes. Throughout the episode we address important questions, such as can propaganda be art? And how do historical developments shape the film industry? Our podcast does not provide definitive answers to these questions. Rather, we encourage listeners to explore these questions for themselves.</strong></p> <p><strong>Check out our supporting materials </strong><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ud385qfrFfTZ1JQKg5731UyipCc8mGR9/edit">Film in Germany and the Soviet Union during the interwar years supplemental material.docx - Google Docs</a> </p> <p>Here is the transcript <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1suae0kNoGuUtTfz_nh_4tTB0lDt03rO_/edit">Nazi_Germany_and_soviet_Russia transcript.docx - Google Docs</a></p>

China and Vietnam: Exploring the role of women
<p><strong>Our third podcast focuses on the Vietnam War, along with America’s role, and the Chinese Communist regime under Mao Zedong in the twentieth century as a backdrop for an exploration of two women - Jane Fonda and Jung Chang - who have made a significant contribution to the way that these areas of history are written about and studied, highlighting the need for female narratives to be included in the wider historiography. It also features an interview with Jon Howlett, Lecturer in Modern Asian History</strong> <strong>at the University of York. </strong></p> <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CnXs-9EgWv7O-UovAkImixtwJ4-Em-4uBNh8DUtTQ6Y/edit">supplementary materials/transcript - china and vietnam - Google Docs</a></p>

Tudors and Stuarts: Art, Literature and Monarchy
<p><strong>Our first podcast, on the Tudor and Stuart period, focuses on art and literature as a means of exploring the power of the monarchy. We look at contemporary and modern sources to help illustrate how mediums such as the fashion of the time period were a source of propaganda for the royal houses of the Tudors and Stuarts. On top of this we examine the exploration of the so-called “New World” which was an emerging power for the monarchy, as well as international perspectives of the English royalty, more specifically Anglo-Spanish and Anglo-Dutch relations at a turning point of colonialism within these Empires. Later on in this episode we also discuss some academic arguments regarding colonialism during the Tudor and Stuart period, as well as fashion with some contemporary sources for the listeners to explore.</strong></p> <p><strong>Please see the artworks as part of the supporting materials as you listen </strong><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U-F_hgDQnTQLpCv0b6ZSj-7M_ugZO18O/edit">HNP_ Tudors & Stuarts Supplementary Material & Transcript.docx - Google Docs</a></p> <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t3svE5DWaAD2fkSMu-Ho9D8TcDHZUDAI44CnuM848rg/edit">History Nerds Podcast - Tudors & Stuarts Transcript - Google Docs</a></p>
