Story
On January 29, 1774, Benjamin Franklin was called to appear before the Privy Council--a select group of the king's advisors--in an octagonal-shaped room in Whitehall Palace known as the Cockpit. Spurred by jeers and applause from the audience in the Cockpit, Solicitor General Alexander Wedderburn unleashed a withering tirade against Franklin. Though Franklin entered the room as a dutiful servant of the British crown, he left as a budding American revolutionary.

Story
In the summer of 1776, fifty-six men risked their lives and livelihood to defy King George III and sign the Declaration of Independence - yet how many of them do we actually remember? Signing Their Lives Away introduces listeners to the eclectic group of statesmen, soldiers, slaveholders, and scoundrels who signed this historic document - and the many strange fates that awaited them. Some prospered and rose to the highest levels of United States government, while others had their homes and farms seized by British soldiers.

Story
At the age of 19, scared and illiterate, James Pennington, escaped from slavery in 1827 and soon became one of the leading voices against slavery prior to the Civil War. Just 10 years after his escape, Pennington was ordained as a priest after studying at Yale and was soon traveling all over the world as an anti-slavery advocate. He was so well respected by European audiences that the University of Heidelberg awarded him an honorary doctorate, making him the first person of African descent to receive such a degree.

Story
The first-born son of his generation, Peter Balakian grew up in a close, extended family, sheltered by 1950s and '60s New Jersey suburbia. He was immersed in an all-American boyhood defined by rock 'n' roll, adolescent pranks, and a passion for the New York Yankees that he shared with his beloved grandmother. But beneath this sunny world lay the dark specter of the trauma his family and ancestors had experienced: the Turkish government's extermination of more than a million Armenians.

Story
Signing Their Rights Away chronicles a moment in American history when our elected officials knew how to compromise - and put aside personal gain for the greater good of the nation. These men were just as quirky and flawed as the elected officials we have today: Hugh Williamson believed in aliens, Robert Morris went to prison, Jonathan Dayton stole $18,000 from Congress, and Thomas Mifflin was ruined by alcohol. Yet somehow these imperfect men managed to craft the world’s most perfect Constitution.

The long-awaited biography of the frontier Founding Father whose heroic actions and neglected writings inspired an entire generation, from Paine to Madison. On May 10, 1775, in the storm-tossed hours after midnight, Ethan Allen, the Revolutionary firebrand, was poised for attack. With only two boatloads of his scraggly band of Vermont volunteers having made it across the wind-whipped waters of Lake Champlain, he was waiting for the rest of his Green Mountain boys to arrive....

Tina si chiamava Assunta Adelaide Luigia Modotti. Era nata a Udine nel 1896, da un'umile famiglia. Il padre era un muratore di idee socialiste, lei dovette ben presto lasciare la scuola e lavorare per aiutare la famiglia, poi emigrò negli Stati Uniti dove stavano crescendo i grandi movimenti sindacali. La vita culturale e artistica in fermento a San Francisco, Los Angeles, Hollywood e a Città del Messico le dischiusero la via prima del teatro e del cinema, poi della fotografia.

Pino Cacucci racconta la singolare storia di Jules Bonnot operaio, soldato, autista nientemeno che di sir Arthur Conan Doyle, il creatore di Sherlock Holmes. E il suo sogno di una felicità rabbiosa che lo trasforma in rapinatore (il primo rapinatore che usa l'automobile) e anarchico sanguinario, convinto di dover colpire la società borghese senza mezze misure, creando il caos, facendo parlare i giornali. Cacucci gli oppone il commissario Jouin, vicecapo della Sureté, a cui è stato affidato il compito di fermare con ogni mezzo la banda Bonnot.

Story
Di cosa è fatta la bellezza di una casa, se non della vita di chi la abita? Ma quando accade che un intero popolo si trovi all'improvviso espropriato delle sue dimore, la domanda che passa, amara, di bocca in bocca è soltanto una: che fine fa quella bellezza, e che fine fa l'anima di chi in quelle case, in quei palazzi, in quei giardini, ci ha vissuto, ci ha pianto e ci ha gioito, per una vita intera? Questa storia ha inizio nel 1948, quando gli inglesi, partendo da Israele, lasciarono due popoli in lotta.

Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine y Mary-Jane son famosas por lo mismo, aunque nunca se conocieron entre ellas. Ellas eran de Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Suecia y Gales. Compusieron baladas, regentearon cafeterías, vivieron en fincas, respiraron el polvo de la tinta de las imprentas y escaparon de traficantes de seres humanos. Lo que sí tuvieron en común fue el año 1888. El año de sus asesinatos.

Story
En 1519, Hernán Cortés acababa de abandonar Cuba para embarcarse en dirección a México. Cuenta con muy poca información sobre su destino, de tal manera que ni siquiera está seguro de si se halla ante un puñado de islas o un continente entero. Cuando, por fin, toca tierra, se cruza en su camino una mujer de tan solo dieciséis años que, con el tiempo, se convertirá en la clave de la expedición española hacia el corazón de México. Esa joven, de nombre Malintzin, le proporcionará a Cortés las claves para adentrarse en un territorio complejo, violento y maravilloso al frente del cual se encuentra una ciudad de fábula: Tenochtitlan.

Story
Figura indissociável da conquista da América, Hernán Cortez guarda muitas ambiguidades. Representa, ao mesmo tempo, o extermínio de um império indígena vasto e populoso e a origem do povo mestiço que constitui o México. A campanha liderada por Cortez no mundo asteca entraria para a História da cultura ocidental como um dos maiores símbolos do contato entre culturas e o consequente choque de valores de sociedades distintas. E foi a partir desse encontro que um novo mundo, aos poucos, se ergueu e outra sociedade, sincrética, nem europeia e nem indígena, começou a ser formada.

Fu per un ventennio una delle donne piú potenti d’Europa, o per questo almeno passò, circonfusa da un’aura di leggenda che non l’abbandonò mai. Era la figlia del dittatore d’Italia: ne fu sempre consapevole anche se talvolta non a suo agio nel ruolo. Ma alla fine del 1943, Edda Ciano Mussolini era una donna disperata, in fuga, inseguita dai nazisti e aiutata da un passato amante che sarà tra i fondatori della moda Made in Italy.
