Why are humans seemingly hardwired to worship gold? It is unique amongst metals: it is malleable, it doesn’t tarnish, and it shines like nothing else. Over time it has come to symbolise wealth and status. It can represent goodness and fidelity but also greed and lust. Financial educator, author and broadcaster Alvin Hall explores why we are so obsessed with this particular metal, and what it represents around the world - in terms of wealth and symbolism - both historically and now.

Story1
The medieval humoral system of medicine suggested that it was possible to die from having too much - or too little - sex, while the Roman Catholic Church taught that virginity was the ideal state. Holy men and women committed themselves to lifelong abstinence in the name of religion. Everyone was forced to conform to restrictive rules about who they could have sex with, in what way, how often, and even when, and could be harshly punished for getting it wrong.

Story0
Das Mittelalter, vordergründig von einer rigiden christlichen Moral geprägt, kannte die Lust an Liebe und Sinnlichkeit, ohne Reue und Gewissensbisse. Wie selbstverständlich Sexualität gelebt wurde - sowohl in der Ehe wie auch außerhalb - macht das Hörbuch ebenso anschaulich wie den uneingeschränkten Genuss anderer Lebensfreunden, des Essens und Trinkens (in den Klöstern waren zwei Liter Wein pro Tag und Person durchaus an der Tagesordnung), der Feste und des Tanzes.

Each week we’ll curl up with a chapter from classic erotica, then slip behind the curtain to explore the world that produced it: courtesans, censors, rumors, and whispers behind the walls.Think of it as part book club, part history salon, and part playful confession. From Renaissance Venice to Georgian London (and more), these tales once shocked, amused, and delighted — and ...
