  Little Women Podcast: Red Flags...

  He was charming. He was devoted. He grew up next door. 
  But was Laurie's proposal to Jo March truly the romantic gesture it appeared to be, or a masterclass in missing the point entirely? 
  In this episode of the Little Women Podcast, we revisit one of classic literature's most debated scenes through a modern lens. Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel gave us a young man full of feeling, but feelings aren't always enough, and the proposal that broke a thousand hearts may have been waving more warning signs than a Victorian parlour had room for. 
  "Loving someone isn't the same as knowing them. Laurie loved the idea of Jo, and when Jo refused to become it, he called it heartbreak." 
  From Laurie's sense of entitlement to his emotional volatility, from his inability to accept a "no" gracefully to the speed with which he rebounds, we unpack it all with warmth, wit, and just a little righteous indignation. Whether you're a long-time Alcott devotee or a first-time listener, this episode will change how you hear those famous words: "Jo, I love you." 
  Thoughtful, funny, and unapologetically feminist, this is the literary conversation you didn't know you needed. 
  There are certain things that Laurie says when he proposes that, for some reason, never get into the Little Women Cinema, but here is the question, if the viewers heard the actual dialogue, way fewer people would want Jo to end up with Laurie.

  Inner space" - 26 March 1971. Duration: 61 minutes. 
  Is it possible to be free of the centre so that the centre doesn't create space around itself and build a wall? Can the centre be still or fade away? Can consciousness empty itself of its content? Is love within the field of consciousness?If you don't form an image now, the past images have no place. Are there environments which can be conducive to liberation? The company of the good doesn't teach me what is good and what is false or true. I have to see it.

  Reminiscences of Forts Sumter...

  Abner Doubleday was a busy man. He rose to be a major general during the American Civil War, started the first cable car company in San Francisco, and is credited (though perhaps erroneously) with inventing the game of baseball.In 1861, he had the distinction as a captain to be second-in-command of Ft. Moultrie, one of the harbor defenses of Charleston, SC.. When that state seceded from the Union, Doubleday and the garrison of artillerists manning the fort were cut off from supplies and reinforcements. Through a tumultuous period, during which the command transferred to Ft. Sumter and soon found the Secessionists building batteries all around it, Doubleday had an additional target painted on him, as he was known as the only "Black Republican" in the fort and the mobs wanted to tar and feather him.Doubleday walks us through a day-by-day account of the final weeks before the new Confederacy opened fire on Ft. Sumter to begin the Civil War. Our busy man sighted the gun for the first shot fired by the Union in response. And we learn what it is like to be the target of thousands of cannonballs, until, nearly out of ammunition and food, the fort is surrendered with the honors of war and the men are evacuated to New York.The historical events are well-known. This first-person account allows us to experience them.

  Veil of Silence - How the Irish...

  J.P. O’Sullivan

  In 1985 John Corcoran, a garda informer within the ranks of the Cork IRA, was abducted and brutally executed by the IRA. No one has ever been charged with his murder, but for decades, speculation was rife that gardaí of the highest rank allowed Corcoran – a father of eight – to be murdered to protect Sean O’Callaghan, the state’s most prized IRA informer during the Troubles. 
   
  Now, for the first time, J.P. O’Sullivan, Corcoran’s Special Branch handler, breaks his silence. He reveals the chain of events leading to the killing, including detailed reports he filed warning of potential threats to his informant’s life that were systematically ignored by garda intelligence. He recounts how he was inexplicably sidelined from the investigation into Corcoran’s murder and later framed and convicted for a crime he did not commit in order to silence him and bury the truth. 
   
  O’Sullivan’s account is a damning indictment of garda complicity in covering up an IRA murder. It exposes murky manoeuvres, a flawed investigation, and the devastating cost paid by a detective who refused to back down. This is a story of betrayal and justice denied in a state under siege, and one man’s quest for justice.
