Today it’s the first of two episodes with journalist and historian Fintan O’Toole about the trials that followed the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland. What did the leaders of the rising hope to achieve, with or without German help? How and why did the British get it so wrong by court martialling the supposed ring leaders in secret? Were those trials anything more than kangaroo courts? And why are fourteen martyrs more potent than thousands of victims?
Available from Saturday on PPF+: Part 2 of David’s conversation with Fintan O’Toole, where they explore the treason trial of Sir Roger Casement and the question of what makes a traitor.

Neste episódio, os escritores Bianca Santana e Ernesto Mané apresentam seus novos livros que narram a busca pela identidade, ancestralidade e o sentimento de pertencimento enquanto reconstroem a trajetória de familiares que deixaram a terra natal. No romance Apolinária (Fósforo), a paulistana Santana mistura memória e ficção para resgatar a história da avó materna, que migrou do interior da Bahia para São Paulo nos anos 50. Já em Antes do Início (Tinta-da-China Brasil), o paraibano Mané, diplomata de carreira, narra sua viagem à Guiné-Bissau para conhecer a família do pai, refletindo sobre suas raízes africanas.

Today’s episode in Politics on Trial is about the most famous trial in literature and one that never actually takes place. David talks to writer and literary scholar Ian Ellison about Franz Kafka’s The Trial, first published in 1925. What is the meaning of a book about a legal process that never happens? How was it inspired by Kafka’s failed love life? Why has it given rise to so many different understandings of what makes our world Kafkaesque? And how did a work of fiction that is full of weird and wonderful ideas get associated with mindless bureaucracy?
