Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from the death of Adolf Hitler, the first spacewalk and the making of the movie Jaws, to celebrity tortoise Lonesome George, the Kobe earthquake and the invention of superglue. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: Eva Peron – Argentina’s Evita; President Ronald Reagan and his famous ‘tear down this wall’ speech; Thomas Keneally on why he wrote Schindler’s List; and Jacques Derrida, France’s ‘rock star’ philosopher. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the civil rights swimming protest, the disastrous D-Day rehearsal, and the death of one of the world’s oldest languages.

Hey Guys! I’m B. Simone. Most of you know me as a stand-up comedian, actress, and entrepreneur. But now I want you to join me as I virtually document & take you on my healing journey. This podcast is to encourage others to be resilient and find joy in the midst of pain.
I will highlight the importance of not letting pain and disappointment taint you or make you bitter, but instead, propel you forward into life’s beautiful second chances. LTTA is about resilience, finding purpose & healing. Growth is necessary, but don’t forget to enjoy life while doing it. We’ll talk about Reaching the most fulfilling life, not just financially but spiritually, physically, and emotionally.
Life is all about infinite chances. Don’t quit now… just try again!
The Apple and The Tree is a podcast where a parent and their adult child get to ask each other about the parts of their shared history they’ve always wanted to know more about, but never given themselves the time to do so.
These are deep, intimate and revealing conversations that move through love, grief, shame, sexuality, religion, addiction, identity and so much more. Because these shows were recorded in our guest’s own homes, it’s like you’ve been invited in to sit alongside them and hear exactly how their lives have unfurled.
At the end of each episode, Richard Coles and the guests unpack what’s been shared to discover if the apple really does fall far from the tree.
