Trajan's Projects In The Provinces

Think of pirates and there’s a great chance that the first image that comes to your mind is a Blackbeard look alike : a cruel captain with a long beard and a hat, thirsty for blood, yelling at his men from the upper deck of his ship as he prepares to board an unfortunate merchant’s boat. Well, this has been the image of Blackbeard, alias Edward Teach, over the centuries. But the real Teach was not especially cruel and tyrannical, at least no more than any other pirate back in the days.Writer: Abdelhakim RezguiHost: Danny WallaceProduction: Axelle Gobert, Clément LesaffreProduction assistant: Aimie FaconnierRecording: Théo AlbaricMixing and editing: Adrien Le Blond, Jimmy BardinInternational coordination: Martin StahlOriginal music: David SpinelliPre-existing music: Music from Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag / Composed by Brian Tyler / Published by Ubisoft Music Publishing / Courtesy of Ubisoft MusicIllustration: © Ubisoft Entertainment.

As the only person to have signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, Treaty of Alliance with France in 1778, Treaty of Paris in 1783, and U.S. Constitution in 1787, Benjamin Franklin remains in history as perhaps the most important Founding Fathers of the United States. And this even though he never ruled, earning him the title of "the only president of the United States who was never president of the United States". But behind the politician lies a great man of science responsible for a variety of inventions, starting with the lighting rod.Writer: Abdelhakim RezguiHost: Danny WallaceProduction: Axelle Gobert, Clément LesaffreProduction assistant: Aimie FaconnierRecording: Théo AlbaricMixing and editing: Adrien Le Blond, Jimmy BardinInternational coordination: Martin StahlOriginal music: David SpinelliPre-existing music: Music from Assassin's Creed Rogue Original Game Soundtrack / Composed by Elitsa Alexandrova / Published by Ubisoft Music Publishing / Courtesy of Ubisoft MusicIllustration: © Ubisoft Entertainment.

Writer and philosopher, the Marquis de Sade is a very controversial figure because of its texts, where erotism and pornography had an important place, along with cruelty, rape and murders. To such an extent that his name gave the root of the word "sadistic". Because of his work and his deviant behavior, he spent more than a third of his life in prison. But how did the heir of an ancient French noble family become this despicable yet legendary character ?Writer: Abdelhakim RezguiHost: Danny WallaceProduction: Axelle Gobert, Clément LesaffreProduction assistant: Aimie FaconnierRecording: Théo AlbaricMixing and editing: Adrien Le Blond, Jimmy BardinInternational coordination: Martin StahlOriginal music: David SpinelliPre-existing music: “The Marquis” from the Assassin's Creed Unity Dead Kings Original Game Soundtrack / Composed by Cris Velasco / Published by Ubisoft Music Publishing // “On Father’s Watch” from the Assassin's Creed Unity, Vol, 1 Original Game Soundtrack / Composed by Chris Tilton / Published by Ubisoft Music Publishing / “Ballroom Fight (Invention No.13 in D Minor)” from the Assassin's Creed Unity, Vol, 2 Original Game Soundtrack // Composed by Sarah Schachner / Published by Ubisoft Music Publishing / Courtesy of Ubisoft MusicIllustration: © Ubisoft Entertainment.

In Norse mythology, Loki has a place of his own. Taken into Asgard as an infant, he grew under the protection of Odin. Rival and friend of Thor, he prefers illusions to sheer force. His magical talents are very useful in Asgard. Little by little, however, Loki turns evil and his tricks do not amuse anyone anymore. In the end, the god of discord will turn against the other gods fighting Ragnarök.Texts: Julie Gouazé, Clément LesaffreVoices: Lance Geiger, James BrackProduction: Axelle Gobert, Clément LesaffreProduction assistant: Aimie FaconnierRecording: Théo Albaric, Marec PanchotMixing and editing: Alexandre FerreiraSpeakers: Annelie Jarl Ireman, Gísli Sigurdson, Eric LaceyDubbing: Elisabeth WautletInternational adaptation: VSI, MaremotoInternational coordination: Martin StahlOriginal music: David SpinelliPre-existing music: Stephanie Economou, Einar SelvikIllustration: ProdigiousExecutive producers: Lorenzo Benedetti, Louis Daboussy, Benoit Dunaigre, Julien Fabre, Etienne BouvierUbisoft: Etienne Allonier, Aymar Azaizia, Céline Brillouet, Leslie Capillon, Louis Raynaud, Justine VilleneuveAn original Ubisoft series, produced by Paradiso MediaIf you liked this podcast please subscribe, share, rate & review.To find out more go to website or find us on Facebook& Twitter.Hosted on Acast.
