Podcast | BNRVan Bekhovens BrittenDat president Trump zich zou Mengen in de oorlog tussen Israel en Iran en Irans nucleaire installaties zou aanvallen, kwam voor premier Keir Starmer als een donderslag bij heldere hemel. De Britse regeringsleider was er heilig van overtuigd dat Donald Trump zijn gevechtspiloten thuis zou laten. Wat zegt die onwetendheid of gebrek aan inschattingsvermogen van Starmer over zijn verhouding met Trump? En dan speelt na elf jaar en vele onderzoeken ook weer een langslepend misbruikschandaal op: er komt een nieuw, groot, juridische enquete in de Rotherham-zaak.

De Spending Review betekent zware teleurstelling voor sommige ministeries, tegelijkertijd opluchting voor anderen – maar nergens overheerst echte blijdschap. Eén ding is zeker: als het uitgavenprogramma ergens op gebaseerd is, is het op de angst voor ‘oprukkend, populistisch rechts’. Ook in deze aflevering Hij heeft hem eindelijk binnen.

What Is Emergence Astrology?In this episode, which was also very personal and moving, I invited Emergence Astrology co-creators (aka students!) to share what Emergence Astrology feels like to them. They also articulated how it feels different than other astrologies. This is very exciting for me since definitions for Emergence Astrology are very fluid for me. It’s also going to be partial and relative to who is talking, and when, and where. Thank you to Sydni Baumgart for your written submission - oh my gosh the TEARS!

Want waarom werden duizenden asielaanvragen van Afghaanse militairen die destijds meevochten met de Britten in Afghanistan en zelfs door de Britten waren opgeleid afgewezen door Londen? De redenen voor de massale afwijzing van de verblijfsvergunningen zouden wel eens te maken kunnen hebben met het wangedrag van Britse militairen die volgens ooggetuigen oorlogsmisdaden pleegden in Afghanistan bijna 15 jaar geleden’.

Om een goede voorspelling te maken is het ook zaak om terug te kijken naar 2023 en de lessen die uit dat jaar kunnen worden getrokken. Wat was hét politieke verhaal van vorig jaar, en hoe gaat 2024 eruit zien? Eén ding is zo goed als zeker: er komen verkiezingen. Het is Rishi Sunak nog altijd niet gelukt om het tij te keren, de Tories staan al zo'n twee jaar lang fors achter in de peilingen. Ook in d...2024-01-0330 minVan Bekhovens Britten | BNRKerst met Van Bekhovens Britten | LuisteraarsvragenSpeciaal voor derde kerstdag een bijzonder feestelijke, extra lange aflevering van Van Bekhovens Britten. Connor en Lia nemen de Britse kijk op the most wonderful time of the year door. Van de typische Britse kersttelevisie tot befaamde Panto, de Britten pakken kerst zeer serieus aan, maar zelden formeel. Door de lange aanloop kan het voelen als een marathon, fysiek en mentaal. Het eten is niet best, de drank is er in overvloed, en een familieruzie is praktisch gegarandeerd. Religie is tegenwoordig ver te zoeken, en zoals zo vaak in het Verenigd Koninkrijk is er niet één manier om kerst te v...2023-12-2743 min
From The Red HouseDiscovery Session: English SongIn this month’s podcast we celebrate the fascinating subject of song and singing.

Following his example, Britten Pears Arts has song at the very centre of its work. Lucy is joined by Dr Chris Hilton (Head of Archive and Library) and Caro Barnfield (Head of Music Programme) who discuss how song manifests in the continuing work of the organisation, from teasing out stories in the ar...2023-09-2028 min

In Search of TarotThe Paradox of Queerness with Britten LaRueToday's episode is first for us. It's a crossover/part two that builds on a conversation Nick took part in over on Britten LaRue's Moon to Moon podcast. In that episode, Nick shared his thoughts on The Margin, and mused on queerness as an unknowable, unspeakable power. Then Britten asked a question that sent both of their heads spinning in opposite directions.
Today, Nick and Britten are coming back together to hash it all out and share where their different experiences have led them since that first conversation. If you'd like to listen to part one of...2023-06-0151 min
