The first of a four-part podcast series on the Italian resistance to fascism, both during World War Two and immediately after, in conversation with anti-fascist partisans themselves. In this episode, we look at the rise of fascism, the start of the resistance during World War Two, the partisan formations of the mountains and the participation of women in the resistance.

A podcast for readers of sword and sorcery and sword and planet

Interesting multi part series about the Microdot gang who made millions of trips in the sixties

Occasional SYSK Listener here. I am baffled by the amount of new shows that pop up under the their Banner. Thematically these Shows are totally random and they only ever seem to get advertised for a very short period befor the next one takes their place. Are they just pumping out these shows hoping one is a hit and makes worth all the misses? How is this sustainable? Especially since they only ever seem to advertise their own networks Content?

I've recently finished the fantastic series on BBC Sounds about the events at the Fukashima nuclear power plant a decade ago. Each episode is roughly half an hour long, and it's really well acted and very engaging (It's called Fukashima)

Another from the BBC that I've been loving is Call Jonathan Pie. Okay so Jonathan Pie is a YouTube satirical journalist. In the podcast he's taking calls from the general public. As someone who's usually on board with his politics I think it's pretty great.

What about you?

With the increased popularity of lemmy and suggestion that meta is getting into the federated game, I was wondering if there are any podcasts dedicated to news and views surrounding the fediverse.
