Paperclip: America's Nazi Scientists

It’s 1945. Hitler is defeated. America is looking to outsmart a new enemy, the Soviet Union. To advance in rocketry, aviation, and chemical weapons, America recruits scientists and engineers who fueled the war machine of another nation...Nazi Germany. Inspired by the true story behind the Emmy-eligible drama series "Hunters" from Amazon Studios, starring Al Pacino and Logan Lerman, PAPERCLIP explores how Operation Paperclip – the recruitment of Nazi Germany’s most brilliant and, in many cases, most villainous scientists to the United States after World War II – impacted some of America’s most vital, monumental, and controversial endeavors in military technology, medical research, and the space program. As our two hosts, history professor Monique Laney and actor-comedian Michael Ian Black, tackle Operation Paperclip from multiple angles – from its “pragmatic” Cold War motivations to its wide range of applications – listeners will come to understand this little-known and unbelievable moment in American history.This is a paid podcast funded Amazon Studios.

There is a town in England called East Grinstead. It is a quiet, unassuming town, with a beautiful church and a row of timber framed Tudor houses on the high street. It is everything you'd expect from a quaint, middle-class town. And yet, it is the town that didn't stare; the home of alternative religion in the UK. From the Scientologists to Opus Dei, druids to Mormons, East Grinstead has it all. But why?Praise for The Town That Didn't Stare:"Arch and funny, ­but... deeply serious in trying to understand the peculiar history of the town" – Financial Times"Facinating... mysterious, it really hooks you in" – BBC"Brilliantly arch" – Sunday Times"Hilton is an engaging narrator, tip-toeing the lines between nostalgia, comedy and truth-telling" – The Big Issue Hosted on Acast.

Ami Bouhassane, grand-daughter of photographer Lee Miller and Surrealist artist Roland Penrose presents, reads and shares their love letters, with guest speakers that contextualise the letters' content.In the pre-digital age, before email and cell/mobiile phones, letters carried an importance that few who were not part of those times will understand.The words on the pages of a love letter carry the nuances and emotions of love and desire, passion and anger in a deeply confidential way.The urgency and the intimacy of the writers can be clearly felt in this collection of letters between Lee Miller, Photographer, and Roland Penrose, Surrealist Artist as they conduct their long-distance romance.It begins with their meeting in Paris in 1937 and runs to 1939 when Lee Miller left her Egyptian husband Aziz Eloui Bey in Cairo and joined Roland Penrose in London at the start of World War 2. In this real-life romantic drama, the period and their connections give us a supporting cast that includes Dora Maar and Picasso, Nusch and Paul Eluard, Leonora Carrington and Max Ernst, Ady Fidelin and Man Ray.These nearly three hundred pages of love letters show that as the relationship grew it produced and supported some of the world’s best loved art and photography. These have only been read by a handful of people since they were first written.Guest Speakers: Antony Penrose (son of Lee Miller and Roland Penrose and Co-Director of Lee Miller Archives), Hilary Roberts (Independent Curator, formerly senior curator of photography at Imperial War Museums, London), Hussein Omar (lecturer on Modern global history, University college Dublin) and Sam BourdouilLee Miller's letters read and Presented by Ami BouhassaneRoland Penrose's letters read by Adam GraysonMusic composed by David Cullen Series Producer: Tolly RobinsonReleased to accompany the book of the letters of the same title that also contains many photographs by Lee Miller and Roland Penrose, in both colour and Black & White, that have not previously been published from the same period as the letters.
