Island

Season 2: In 1974 after experiencing financial hardship, Michael Taylor joined a local church in the rolling hills of Northern England.  After falling in love with a young, beautiful preacher, Michael's personality began to change. The mild-mannered family man became abusive and unhinged. His new church believed he was possessed by no fewer than 48 demons and would require an exorcism to save his soul and protect his family from evil. But the supposed remedy would come at a very steep price...  The podcast THE DEVIL WITHIN returns with a second season that will send chills down your spine. THE DEMONS OF YORKSHIRE tells the terrifying true story behind Michael Taylor's brutal exorcisms, and seeks to answer the question, who is to blame for the vicious murder of his wife?

The Pink Moon Murders is investigative, true crime podcast that delves into the slaughter of eight members of the Rhoden family in rural, Appalachian Ohio in 2016. It was a night that shocked the country with its brutality—and its mystery. Who would commit such horrible crimes? And why? Ohio native David Raterman, a longtime journalist and former author for National Geographic, spent 18 months researching this, interviewing Rhoden survivors and friends as well as hundreds of others in the small community. He even spoke with prosecutors and police officers who were officially gagged by the judge, visited the crime scenes countless times, and pored through records at courthouses throughout the region. Two and a half years after the Rhoden murders, investigators suddenly arrested six members of another family. Raterman attended more than 20 of their hearings at the small, one-room courthouse in Pike County and interviewed their neighbors and friends. What he discovered about that family, who owns the most land in the county as well as an elite horse farm, will leave listeners in utter disbelief. And what he reports overall will surprise investigators—as well as true crime listeners who think they've heard it all. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

When the calm of dawn is broken by a cannon shot from a ship called de Soutbergh entering the bay that clear morning of Apr 16, 1633, the amiable Bastiaen Jansen Crol raised his head off his pillow of straw and reluctantly swallowed the fact that his short-lived term as "Governor" at the southern tip of Manhattan was over.And shuffling his feet upon the slick, wooden deck of that very incoming ship, stood a paunchy 27-year old nervously digesting the daunting beauty of this green and still quite untamed ISLAND...And as the ship glided and hopped through the moderate ripples of the Narrows, he gripped the port-side bulkhead to secure himself, as he spied another figure joining him - just across the deck.But, no, they didn't speak.They had already tolerated each other's abrasiveness for NINE MONTHS at sea...This other chap, on the starboard side, was a slightly more rounded character, with an infinitely more stoic disposition...in fact, this particular young man had been called by GOD himself -- to impart His word upon mankind unconditionally, unapologetically and relentlessly. After all, this wasn't any minister that had been selected to replace the embattled Jonas Michaelius...no. This was THE CHOSEN ONE himself -- Dominie Everardus Bogardus, the second ordained minister of the Colony of New Netherland.And as de Soutbergh tacked east, and the fort drifted behind them, it was not the sight of the fresh pine planks of the recently-rebuilt dock along the Strand at Pearl Street that caught the collective eyes of these two incoming voyagers, but rather the posture of a buxom woman perched atop that dock----who called out to them --"Welcome to New Netherland -- GOVERNOR Van Twiller."And one thing is for certain -- this nervous, little Dutch boy, is not in Amsterdam anymore.

Two years into Walloon Pierre Minuit's administration,  the Directors of the Dutch West India Company take that major leap of finally deciding that "yes" this territory was now worthy of more than just a few krankenbezoekers...that in fact this colony of about 300 souls (and counting) was now worthy of its own ordained minister...but in spite of this major development, the challenges of maintaining a start-up colony, halfway across the globe, while simultaneously trying to pillage and rid the Earth of all Spanish and Portuguese, was becoming an increasingly costly endeavor for the Dutch.  And by the time that chosen MINISTER finally sets foot on that rickety dock at Pearl Street -- all hell was just about ready to break loose on this wild and still very untamed ISLAND of Manhattan.Episode guests Dr. Wim Klooster of Clark University and Minister Elise Brown of the Marble Collegiate Church of New York.https://marblechurch.org/#ClarkUniversity #WimKlooster #RevEliseBrown#Manhattan #ISLAND #historyiscool #subscribe #sharethelove #geweldig #GrootDesseynhttps://www.audible.com/pd/The-Dutch-Moment-Audiobook/B07YZS621Mhttps://www.amazon.com/Revolutions-Atlantic-World-New-Comparative/dp/1479857173https://www2.clarku.edu/faculty/facultybio.cfm?id=457

Of all the souvenirs you COULD send back to someone from Manhattan -- beaver bones may have never occurred to you...regardless, come along and see what exactly the first Minister of Manhattan may have had in mind when he chose this for his friend, back in 1628...History is cool...and often, quite bizarre.Episode 6  MINISTER: 1627 to 1632 - Dominie Jonas Michaelius ----coming VERY soon -- this April 2021.Climb aboard.

And the one we’re all waiting for - the one and only Dominie Everardus Bogardus.Thank you for joining our voyage of discovery en route to saying, “Wow! History is cool!”And, we’ll see you in April :)Chance and the ISLAND team

With the influx of the earliest settlers to New Netherland, these Walloon Pilgrims set up primarily at Ft. Orange (today's Albany) per their instructions, while a small Council of delegates huddled precariously with the newly appointed Provisional Director Willem Verhulst on the muddy, windy, untamed southern tip of Manhattan Island. The Directors of the Dutch West India Company issued an exhaustive catalog of instructions to Verhulst on how to proceed once here. Foremost amongst these instructions were that he and all Council members were to deal fairly, humanely and honorably with the native Algonquins. That above all else diplomacy with the wilden (as the Dutch were calling them) was an unconditional requirement. And within these parameters, the directive of not becoming embroiled in any quarrels amongst various native tribes was a specific mandate. But, when a young commander at Ft. Orange disobeys that mandate, in the effort to further strengthen his newly formed alliance with the local Mahicans, the horror that unfolds sends shock waves all the way down to the Council in Manhattan, rapidly losing its patience with an increasingly inept and undiplomatic Verhulst. And in the wake of this brutal tragedy, the Council takes the radical step of unseating Verhulst in favor of an entrepreneurial Walloon whose competence is revered and his courage unrivaled. And in that Summer of 1626, replacement Director Pierre Minuit puts his visionary spirit to work immediately, boldly executing the most epic and impactful land deal to which this incredible city would ever bear witness.

In these three minutes we give you the long and the short of the program. Come aboard. History is cool.

In the wake of the assassination of Hendrick Christiaensen, the already wild frontier of Manhattan devolves into a frenzied melee, as the hornet's nest has been kicked. And just as this experimental trading region starts digressing into a nebulous commercial haze, the twelve years of the Twelve Years Truce is expiring, making the timing just right for a certain Antwerp-born merchant operating in Amsterdam...and a Walloon faction living, working and worshiping in Leiden. Flemish businessman Willem Usselinx's long-lobbied concept of a massive, heavily-funded company partnered with the States-General -- one with the authority to carry on international trade and simultaneously wage war, has been pulled off the shelf after many decades of his efforts, as the Dutch decide that peace simply doesn't pay. But Usselinx's concept requires willing participants to risk the welfare of their families in this far off land of "savage beasts and savage men." Enter Jesse Deforest and his Walloons, along with nineteen-year old Joris Rapalje and his eighteen-year old bride, Catalina Trico and we shall witness the true pilgrims of Manhattan, whose lineage would go on to define large swaths of the very fabric of our United States of America.Let us not forget this race of fierce and passionate people, who boldly settled this incredible ISLAND when no one else would. Let us not forget the story of the Walloons. Episode guest: Professor Bertrand van Ruymbeke, PhD - University of Paris

From 1614 until 1619 there was ONE man in charge on Manhattan Island and his name was Hendrick Christiaensen. And while diplomacy between the intrepid Dutch and the native Algonquins endured for the better part of this decade, eventually the harmony became unhinged. Was this a result of the resentment that grew in the hearts of the native hosts?Or was it the case of insidious rivalries between competing European cartels? Whatever the case, one thing is certain -- this furry little amphibious rodent that the Dutch called BEVER was more than just a coveted commodity on this wild and lawless island...it was the key to building an empire...and something that all players would eventually become more than willing to kill over.

On OCTOBER 11, 1614, as a direct result of the remarkable alliances established by this one man over the past four years, the States General grants exclusive charter to the newly formed "New Netherland Company" for the express purpose of cultivating the emerging fur trade in this uncharted New World that Henry Hudson had left behind.And 406 years later, to the day, on OCTOBER 11, 2020, we are honored to tell you the story of this incredible navigator and businessman who would become the Great-Grandfather of American Trade.#historyiscool

After being fired by the English Muscovy Company, frustrated and aging explorer Henry Hudson is hired by the Dutch East India Company to find the shortcut to Asia over the top of Russia. But when pack-ice and an obstreperous, violent crew with a profound language barrier make that impossible, he changes course. Against the instructions of his employers, Hudson sails over 3,000 miles to the then unknown side of the planet, where he navigates up the river that would come to bear his name, and kicks off this epic story of the greatest city in the modern age. Climb aboard the Halve Maen for the incredible voyage of discovery that would change the course of life on this planet forever.
