Pinochet Part 1: An Arrest in London
Season 5 · Episode 120
mardi 27 août 2024 • Duration 50:48
We travel to South America. In September 1973, Augusto Pinochet seizes power in Chile following a coup d’état. The aim is to topple the country’s socialist president. And it succeeds. But how does Pinochet - a seemingly unremarkable army man - come to lead the notorious uprising? And after that, how do he and his wife consolidate power, remaining in post for 17 long and bloody years?
A Noiser production, written by Sean Coleman.
Many thanks to John Bartlett, Mark Ensalaco, Peter Kornbluh.
This is Part 1 of 3.

Herod the Great Part 1: Ruler of Galilee
Season 5 · Episode 112
mercredi 20 décembre 2023 • Duration 58:14
Herod - you may well know the name from the Nativity story. The cruel king who learns of a prophecy proclaiming a Messiah and orders the slaughter of innocent children in response. He’s become synonymous with almost pantomime villainy. At the same time, Herod changed the face of the Middle East in the 1st century BC. His reign featured dazzling architectural ventures and significant legal changes… as well as social division, political intrigue and murderous family drama. So, all in all, who really was this iconic figure of the immediate pre-Christian era?

Adolf Hitler Part 1: Birth of a Führer
Season 2 · Episode 19
mercredi 24 mars 2021 • Duration 44:17
You may know something of the Hitler story. But there’s a decent chance you don’t know the half of it. We begin a deep dive into the early years of a man who became the very embodiment of evil. Peeling away Hitler’s own myths about his childhood, we explore how he emerged from obscurity. The future German Führer isn’t born in Germany. Growing up in Austria, he clashes with his father but idolises his mother. Abandoning schoolwork, young Adolf dedicates himself to the artistic life, hoping to make it as a painter. But then tragedy strikes.
