    Episode 10 - Looking Back

    Episode 10 - Looking Back
    PROFESSOR MARK CONNELLY shows how memory and remembrance have played a key role in the way later generations have interpreted the First World War. Memories of the past tend to mirror the concerns of the present: Britain, Germany and other nations have largely shaped their view of the Great War in response to their own immediate agendas rather than any quest for the truth.

    Episode 9 - Attrition

    Episode 9 - Attrition
    Most general histories of the First World War are narrative-driven or told from a national perspective. PROFESSOR WILLIAM PHILPOTT analyses the conflict as a coherent phenomenon, showing how the combatant nations had to evolve a strategy of attrition in which all the resources of the state were harnessed to support the armies in the field. In short, a war for survival where defeat for the losers meant national destruction.

    Episode 7 - Year of Victory

    Episode 7 - Year of Victory
    In the popular British narrative, 1918 is the ‘forgotten year’ of the First World War. PETER HART explains how, in fact, it was vital to turning stalemate into Allied victory. After the Germans failed in their last great gamble to win the war in massive spring offensives, the Allied coalition relentlessly pressed home its growing advantage in men and resources to force a final German retreat.

    Episode 6 - The Indian Experience

    Episode 6 - The Indian Experience
    1.5 million Indians volunteered to fight for Britain during the First World War. As GEORGE MORTON JACK reveals, their story has too often been ignored or misunderstood. For Britain, the conflict was partly about defending its huge empire, and the Indians, colonial subjects vulnerable to growing nationalism at home, were critical to this struggle.

    Episode 2 - The Western Front

    Episode 2 - The Western Front
    The popular British narrative depicts the war on the Western Front as wasteful and futile. PROFESSOR GARY SHEFFIELD shows such a view is misplaced: this war had to be fought and won. The Allies learned the hard way how to cope in unprecedented battle conditions, but ultimately overcame their mistakes to inflict a decisive defeat on the Germans.

    174: Moral Injury

    174: Moral Injury

    While medication has focused on treating the physical injuries that can contribute to PTSD, it remains ill equipped to address moral injuries one may encounter in war. Beyond the stigma placed on military veterans, and a cruel incentive program directed at their mental health, the idea of PTSD, when reduced to merely physiological responses to trauma, only looks at half the problem.

    A moral injury is defined as "When one feels they have violated their conscience or moral compass when they take part in or fail to prevent an act that disobeys their own moral values or personal principles," by the DAV (Disabled American Vets) or as "When someone does something that goes against their beliefs this is often referred to as an act of commission and when they fail to do something in line with their beliefs that is often referred to as an act of omission. Individuals may also experience betrayal from leadership, others in positions of power or peers that can result in adverse outcomes (2). Moral injury is the distressing psychological, behavioral, social, and sometimes spiritual aftermath of exposure to such events (3). A moral injury can occur in response to acting or witnessing behaviors that go against an individual's values and moral beliefs." according to Sonya Norman and Shinra Maguen for the VA. 

    The effects of moral injuries can be mitigated by individuals with a strong understanding of their moral foundation, and a dedication to it that surpasses their circumstances. 

    What does this look like in practice? Listen in.

    “Anxiety is the parrot sidekick that rides on my shoulder and occasionally squawks warnings in my ear,” says Tim Clare, poet and podcaster and author of the book Coward: Why We Get Anxious & What We Can Do About It. We talk about anxiety, cowardice, magic bullets vs silver bullets, the scary Bible, and seagulls.

    149. Complex PTSD

    149. Complex PTSD

    Complex PTSD is different to PTSD, but there's not that much understanding of it as its own condition - which was not much help to Stephanie Foo when she was diagnosed with it in 2018. We talk about facing trauma rather than burying it, self-care and self-soothing, endurance being an underrated word, and why people can quit sniping about triggers. Stephanie’s new book is What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma

    Content note: Stephanie refers fleetingly to the parental violence and abandonment she experienced, and we also mention sexual violence; but, we don’t discuss any of these things in detail. It’s a more general conversation about psychology and trauma, rather than stories of traumatisation. There are also a couple of swears.
