For the last week, historian David Cannadine has been presenting a series of documentaries on Winston Churchill on BBC Radio 4 (which is the high-brow talk service of the BBC). The focus of the series is on Churchill’s personal life and personal quirks, such as his fondness for bricklaying.
People worldwide can listen to all of the documentaries here. Keep in mind, however, that there is a 7-day moving wall for downloads and if you want to listen to the first documentary of the series, you will need to do so within the next few hours.
The Past Speaks 
Interesting side note. Raekwon, who is an alumnus from the mid-1990s rap group, Wu-Tang Clan recently put out another solo album entitled Shaolin Vs. Wu Tang. The album’s fifteenth track is entitled “Masters of Our Fate” and features a sampling of a speech that Churchill gave in 1942. Even more than 60 years later, Churchill’s words manage to transcend immense cultural differences and find their way into hip-hop. I guess he has some serious street cred…link to the song below:

My apologies Andrew, that first post contains a link to a Subaru commercial my sister showed me earlier. I meant to post a link to the Churchill speech.
