How is this not a movie yet?

Part 2 of our Queens of Crime series, Today we talk about how Sophie Lyons lightened the purses of people in New York in the late 1800s. It is a surprisingly romantic and sympathetic tale of harrowing crime sprees and the love the blossomed from it. Or maybe she was just a sociopath. Who knows. Give it a go, and watch your pockets.

We're Back! After a few months Hiatus, the podcast is finally back. New Location, same ol' amateur crap you listen too! Today's show is about a little known crime lord of the New York City streets in the 1800s. Frederika Mandelbaum was her name, and she provided food, shelter, and a place for orphans to unload their stolen goods. She even had a school dedicated to teaching children how to steal. Sounds like a grandmother everyone would want!

So today's podcast is about on of the icons of the Peace Movement, Father Dan Berrigan. Father Dan was a Catholic priest who specialized in Peaceful Protests. You might call him a PRIESTful Protester. Does that scan? Alex just laughed at it so it must be funny. Just came up with that on the fly. Should I change the title of the episode now? Anyway, He was a Radical. And not radical in the 90s doing-kick-awesome-moves-on-a-skateboard sense, the 60s Radical, and ended up on the FBI most wanted list. What did he do?

Well, the title is pretty self-explanatory, isn't it? No show, its been a busy month for me. But starting next week I have summer break, so I'll be able to upload on a regular basis! And a website, if things go well for me.

Sorry, Its been a while since I've posted a show. Its the end of the school year, so lots of work to be done. But the summer is coming, which means I have some major shows I'm researching! Today we have a story of survival and heroism is impossible circumstances. It is the story of the Galeris Eruption of 1993 and the Science expedition that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or would that be Right place at the wrong time? I mean, they were studying the volcano, so they were supposed to be there. It just erupted while they were there. Rotten luck, that.

The enemy of my enemy... is still my enemy but at least they can help me out for a bit. That was the attitude the Israelis had when they asked an ex-Nazi intelligence officer to help them out in the early 60s. In an adventure that reads more like a spy novel than a history book, Otto Skorzeny teamed up with the Mossad to stop a threat that would shift the balance of power in the Middle East. (Totally feel like I'm writing a blurb on the back of a spy thriller right now) Special thanks to Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman for their fantastic article on this subject: foward.com/news/336943/ht/

So today I am joined by my father, Allen, and we have a podcast about the year long Reign of Terror during the French Revolution and the two men who orchestrated it. Maximilian Robespierre and Antoine Saint Just may have WANTED to bring about a better country, one where every man was equal and the aristocracy would never again take advantage of the poorer classes... but maybe guillotining 16,000 people isn't the best way to do that.

Would you ever have thought that the most successful pirate in history was a 25 year old woman in China in the beginning of the 1800s? At the height of her power, Pirate Queen Ching Shih had more than 600 ships and over 50,000 pirates under her command. How did she come to power? How did she control so many pirates, who don't exactly have a sparkling reputation of discipline? What happened to her? Who would play her in the movie?
