Today’s revolutionary ideas come from China: David talks to historian Julia Lovell about the Taiping Revolution, another massive mid-19th-century upheaval that nearly overturned the established order. How did Christianity inspire an uprising against the Qing dynasty? Was it a revolution or a civil war? What was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? And where does this cataclysmic event fit into China’s 20th-century revolutionary history?

What was ‘the Social Question’ and who was asking it? Where did the violence that erupted in the summer of 1848 come from? What, if anything did it achieve? And who paid the price?

In the first of three episodes about the revolutions that swept through Europe in 1848 David is joined by historian Chris Clark to explore the ideas behind this continental upheaval. We start with the ‘Liberal Revolution’: Who were the liberals and what had turned them into revolutionaries? How did the original French Revolution overshadow their hopes and fears? Were parliaments and constitutions capable of sustaining revolutionary fervour? And did the liberals of 1848 realise what they had unleashed?

Este episódio acompanha a viagem de um repórter para a Argentina, em busca dos golpistas de 8 de janeiro.
Dois anos após a tentativa de golpe em Brasília, no dia 8 de janeiro de 2023, o gabinete do ministro Alexandre de Moraes divulgou que 898 pessoas foram responsabilizadas criminalmente pelos atentados contra a democracia. Dos condenados, 371 tiveram penas com restrição de liberdade.
O problema é que só pouco mais da metade deles foram presos, enquanto o restante está na condição de foragido da justiça. A Argentina, governada pelo extremista de direita Javier Milei, é o destino favorito.
E apesar de um juiz argentino já ter acatado o pedido do Brasil e emitido mandados de prisão contra boa parte desses foragidos, apenas cinco foram presos.
Neste episódio de podcast, fruto da parceria entre a Rádio Escafandro e o The Intercept Brasil, o repórter Paulo Motoryn viaja à Argentina para fazer o que a polícia de Milei não tem sido capaz: encontrar os golpistas condenados pelo 8 de janeiro.

Today’s revolutionary idea is something a bit different: David talks to statistician David Spiegelhalter about how an eighteenth-century theory of probability emerged from relative obscurity in the twentieth century to reconfigure our understanding of the relationship between past, present and future. What was Thomas Bayes’s original idea about doing probability in reverse: from effect to cause? What happened when this way of thinking passed through the vortex of the French Revolution? How has it come to lie behind recent innovations in political polling, AI, self-driving cars, medical research and so much more? Why does it remain controversial to this day?

Registros poéticos do cotidiano, reflexões sobre a vida, experimentações literárias. No 131º episódio do 451 MHz, a poeta e escritora Paloma Vidal fala sobre "Lugares onde eu não estou" (7Letras, 2024), coletânea que reúne poemas, crônicas e diários escritos originalmente em seu blog ao longo dos anos. Na conversa, ela conta como descobriu que a escrita fragmentada que vem publicando na internet, sobretudo de poesia, se ressignifica e sugere conexões impensadas ao ser transformada em livro.

Today’s episode is about a very different revolution from any we’ve discussed so far: David talks to historian Hank Gonzalez about the Haitian Revolution, which for the first time in history saw a slave revolt result in an independent free state. How did the Haitian Revolution intersect with the American and French Revolutions that preceded it? Why were European powers unable to reverse it despite massive military intervention? What is its legacy for the state of Haiti today?

For our second episode on the people and ideas behind the French Revolution David talks to historian and biographer Ruth Scurr about the man who came to embody the revolution in all its radicalism and all its terror: Maximilien Robespierre. Who was he and how did he rise so fast once the upheaval was underway? How did he harness the power of the Jacobin Club? How did he marshal the violence of the streets? What did he believe in? And what made him think it was possible to reconcile virtue with terror?

Este episódio fala sobre como a narrativa do apocalipse pelas máquinas serve de cortina de fumaça pra ocultar problemas reais e imediatos trazidos pela popularização da inteligência artificial.
Nos últimos anos, cientistas de renome, políticos, jornalistas e até os próprios desenvolvedores de programas como o Chat GPT têm alertado para os riscos de longo prazo da IA. Para um futuro em que as máquinas vão ser mais inteligentes do que os humanos, o que pode gerar todo o tipo de catástrofe, sendo a aniquilação da nossa espécie, a pior delas.
Ao mesmo tempo, quem de fato estuda os avanços e os problemas trazidos pela inteligência artificial, costuma ter uma visão diferente. Por um lado, refuta a ideia de que os programas de IA, da forma como estão sendo desenvolvidos hoje, possam evoluir pra se tornar tão inteligentes, ou até mais inteligentes do que os humanos.
Por outro, argumentam que a popularização desses programas já causa uma série de problemas, concretos e atuais, que precisam ser enfrentados o quanto antes.

In the first of three episodes about the people and ideas behind the French Revolution, David talks to Lucia Rubinelli about the man who helped kickstart it all: the Abbé Sieyès. How did an obscure cleric galvanise a nation? What did he mean by the Third Estate and why did he think it was everything? What went wrong with his idea of a new constitutional order for France? And what happened when Sieyès encountered Napoleon?
