New episode out now! We watched the pilot of The Pinkertons, a Canadian period procedural about the beginnings of the Pinkerton Agency in post-Civil War Missouri. We discuss the representation of both Allan Pinkerton and his son Will, as well as one of the earliest female detectives Kate Warne, and wonder how involved the actual Pinkerton agency was in their depiction. We decide it follows basic procedural rules, admire the costume design even if they are not dirty enough, try to diagnose our lackluster feelings about the episode, and talk at length about how it made us want to play Red Dead Redemption 2 instead. (Seriously, this episode is basically half advertisement for RDR2). Katy finds herself defending Canadian television again, Carrie busts out a high-point vocabulary word, Maddy reveals her feelings for bagpipes, and Mack raves about Allan Pinkerton. We talk about the true dangers of the Civil War, compare the weird commercials we saw while watching, share video game stories, and try to remember our confirmation names. We also learn many facts in real time, including why some movies are called spaghetti westerns, what bushwhackers are, and when sunscreen was invented. Listen to hear about wild unboxing stories, the Sultana steamboat, litigation, the sexual energy of Dulé Hill, and more! (Seriously Mack shares so many varied and interesting facts). Enjoy and yeehaw! TW: Anti-Union sentiment, strikebreaking, racism, Southern Confederacy  Show Notes: Wikipedia article about Adam Worth linked here. Wikipedia article about Allan Pinkerton linked here.  Mack meant the villain tried to poison the UK Parliament, not US Congress, in 2009's Sherlock Holmes Mack DOES know Wilson Fisk was Kingpin, not the Punisher, it was just a slip of the tongue. Rockstar Games Hits Back at Real Pinkertons Over ‘Red Dead Redemption 2' Lawsuit Re: The story Katy half remembered: The man who attacked the woman in the apartment was allegedly a Pinkerton employed security guard; the woman's name is Jennifer Morey and you can read about the story here. A YouTube link to the I Survived episode about her is here but be warned it is disturbing. Also, here is a link to the My Favorite Murder episode about it, released September 2016: Episode 33: What About Mimi?

Adam Worth was the Victorian Era's most infamous thief. He was so sneaky, so devious and so damn good at his job that he became Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's inspiration for Dr. Moriarity, arch-nemesis of Sherlock Holmes. Worth's exploits earned him the nickname “The Napoleon of Crime,” a nod to his ceaseless drive to steal anything that wasn't nailed to the floor. (And even if it was, he'd steal it anyway.) Worth and an array of ne'er-do-wells were as innovative as they were crooked, tunneling their way into bank vaults from adjacent building basements, setting up shape-shifting illegal gambling dens and slipping into new countries and identities when things got too hot. Worth was pursued across continents by the Pinkerton detective agency (which would one day become the Secret Service) and he cemented his status as one of the greatest thieves in history when he stole an incredibly famous painting of Georgiana Cavendish, The Duchess of Devonshire, right off the wall of a London gallery. Worth held onto the pilfered portrait for years, chauffeuring it around the world in the false bottom of a luggage trunk. Some say he was waiting for the right moment to sell it, others believe he fell in love with the Duchess's beguiling image. So how did it end for the art thief and his prized score? Listen to the episode and if you like it (of course you will!) please leave our little show a big fat five-star rating and a review. Your comments might be featured in a future episode. Thanks as always for listening!

New episode out now! We encounter another jewel-heist-in-London-involving-Muppets film with 2014's Muppets Most Wanted! We discuss the appeal of the Muppets and how the format they're in can really make or break the offbeat humor, and debate whether this movie accomplished that traditional zaniness. We talk about how we love the practical nature of the Muppets, wonder if we may have liked this movie a bit more if a few actors were replaced, and complain about the use of CGI. We also get into the fun cameos and how we recognized almost all of them, and confirm we loved all the songs - even the romantic one. Katy loves synchronized swimming and lists, Carrie does not enjoy a mirror mime gag, Maddy knows Josh Groban, and Mack goes on two separate rants but then does an incredible Doofenshmirtz impression. We also argue about the word of art thieves, think that freely dancing to the Macarena seems fun, yell at Mack twice, and some of us get weirded out by sexy Kermit (aka Constantine). Give it a listen to hear us talk about European employment laws, clown cars, the Tower of London, Labyrinth, and which one of us thought this movie was incredible. Enjoy! TW: Covid references, Russian gulag Show Notes/Corrections: Carrie's “Harvey” note was her noting the cameo of Ross Lynch, the man who played Harvey in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Katy had her details wrong but Thomas Blood did attempt to steal the Crown Jewels in 1671 and almost succeeded.

This week we are diving back into true crime with Adam Worth: the Napoleon of Crime! He started off as a petty thief but quickly rose to form his own criminal gangs in New York, most notably for bank heists. Eventually he fled to England and Paris, where he was followed by the Pinkertons. He would spent 25 years as the head of several international criminal gangs. His most notable crime was stealing the highly-prized Gainsborough painting of Duchess Georgiana. Though it's not known by many, his exploits would become the basis for Professor Moriarty, nemesis to Sherlock Holmes! Join us as we track his crimes, his life and his downfall.  You can contact us at: historyexplainsall@gmail.com anchor.fm/historyexplainsall instagram.com/historyexplainsitall_podcast Links for our sources, photos & maps can be found at:  History Explains It All Podcast | Facebook Music used: Call to Adventure Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Logo design by Katelyn Meade-Malley: Portfolio Link: projectk2.portfoliobox.net/ LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/katelynn-meade-malley-134485102 Fiverr: fiverr.com/projectk2 Disclaimer: Neither host is any way a professional historian --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/historyexplainsall/message

FTP Book Club: The Napoleon of Crime: Life and Times of Adam Worth

Sehr geehrter Herr Niklas, Sehr geehrter Herr Lino, seit Ihr Podcast "Verbrechen für Weicheier" mein besonderes Interesse für berühmte GanovInnen geweckt hat, strebe ich es an, meine Leidenschaft für diesen Bereich zu meinem Beruf zu machen. Gerne würde ich deshalb als Kriminelles Mastermind zu Ihrem Podcast beitragen. Aufgrund diverser Überfälle und Ausbrüche im Rahmen meiner Gang-Mitgliedschaft sind mir die Grundlagen der Ganoverei sehr vertraut. Als Leiter meines eigenen Verbrechensnetzwerks habe ich bereits zahlreiche Scams und Diebstähle geleitet und konnte darüber hinaus erste Erfahrungen im Tunnelbau und Sprengstoffeinsatz sammeln. Nicht zuletzt durch das langjährige Ausgeben meines Reichtums ist der Umgang mit Diamanten und Geldmünzen für mich selbstverständlich. Sehr gerne möchte ich mich deshalb in Ihrem Podcast einbringen und einen Einblick in die verbrecherische Praxis gewähren. Ich freue mich auf Ihre Rückmeldung und die Besprechung meiner Eskapaden. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Adam Worth --- Ihr habt auch alles gestohlen, was man überhaupt stehlen kann? Dann schickt uns eure selbst begangenen oder beobachteten Gaunereien für unser Community Verbrechlein der Woche zu - ganz einfach per Instagram oder verbrechenfuerweicheier@gmail.com. --- Wenn ihr noch mehr Gelaber von uns hören möchtet: Gelatine Kenobi - Noch ein Laberpodcast Rosenlose Frechheit - Ein Bachelor-Podcast auf Abwegen --- Quellen: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sezessionskrieg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Worth https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Worth https://criminalminds.fandom.com/wiki/Adam_Worth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Battle_of_Bull_Run https://www.officialdata.org/us/inflation/1861?amount=1000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounty_jumper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Lee http://web.archive.org/web/20150209235540/http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/cops_others/worth/1.html http://www.jewish-american-society-for-historic-preservation.org/internationalprograms/londonengland.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkerton_(detective_agency) https://headstuff.org/culture/history/adam-worth-the-napoleon-of-crime/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fredericka_Mandelbaum

New episode out now! We visit the Great White North with an episode of Murdoch Mysteries, season nine's “Raised on Robbery”. We debate whether the blatant anachronisms are charming or terrible, try to unravel the unnecessarily complicated robbery plot, and have some unflattering observations about the writing, acting, and editing. We also discuss the odd cleanliness of the sets, speculate about what other wild inventions Murdoch may have come up with, and get confused about the character relationships. (We did like the theme song…) Katy gets her serial killers mixed up, Carrie gets very, very salty, Maddy almost felt a feeling, and Mack practices his “NPC talks to police” voice. We also discuss the viability of baby whistles, come up with better robbery plans, learn about the Napoleon of Crime, and share a number of ways to call something “bland”. Two of us get real spicy about their dislike of this show, and one of us tries to defend it—with limited capacity to do so. Give it a listen to hear who is who! The sibling vibes are strong in this one! (We would also like to apologize to Canada - we know the show is beloved by many but we gotta be true to ourselves). Enjoy! TW: Child endangerment, orphaning NOTES: Katy was wrong about the rocket ship details - someone else came up with it and Murdoch just had to figure stuff out after the ship was discovered. It's S9E5 “24 Hours Til Doomsday”. The book Mack is referring to about Adam Worth is The Napoleon of Crime: The Life and Times of Adam Worth, Master Thief by Ben Macintyre

New episode out now! We enter the world of the 1980s with the season five episode of Miami Vice, “The Lost Madonna”. New to us all, we marveled at the wild fashions, the synth score, the feathered hair, and of course—the drugs. We really get into the Florida-ness of it all with the production design and color choices. And we talk extensively about Michael Chiklis’ ponytail. Katy critiques art packing techniques, Carrie thinks Don Johnson is very symmetrical, Maddy has started to see older people commercials tailored for her, and Mack tells a eulogy story. We also spoil St. Elsewhere, share college professor anecdotes, get excited about Indiana Jones, learn about product placement, and wonder why all Italian mafia members have a New York accent. We do introduce a new point of order in this episode and Katy is (justifiably) chastened for dominating research. And if you stick around after the end music, you’ll get a special treat! (A short interview with our parents re: Miami Vice that has terrible audio and random microwave beeping). Enjoy!

Ava Gardner, Gabriel Paseante , Adam Worth ... como si del elenco de una obra de teatro se tratara , así ha bautizado nuestro invitado Lituslas canciones de su último disco " Hablo tu idioma pero no lo entiendo". Un álbum en el que saca al filólogo que lleva dentro y muestra su exquisitez con las palabras y nos invita a jugar al "quién es quién" con cada uno de los personajes e historias que nos presenta. Y siguiendo este juego Miguel A. Hoyos nos desvela al artista que se esconde detrás de la figura de Litus (Carles Ruiz Bosch, cantante , compositor, hombre de tele y del teatro). Y el único músico capaz de actuar de verdad como nos cuenta su amigo el también actor y director Sergio Peris-Mencheta que nos confiesa " desistan de contratarle porque si se pone malo Litus no tiene sustituto". Tras interpretar en nuestro escenario el tema Erno Rubik, bautizado como el creador del cubo mágico , invitamos a nuestro local almago Adrián Marcmac que nos deja a todos ojipláticos al resolverlo en 13 segundos y hacer magia con el famoso cubo de rubik . Y mágica ha sido la noche con la presentación oficial al comienzo del programa de su jefe y amigo Andreu Buenafuente y con la despedida de su madre que nos recuerda cómo la primera vez que vio actuar a su hijo con tan solo 16 años comprobó que, pese a su timidez, había nacido para estar encima de un escenario.

Wir springen ins 19. Jahrhundert und beschäftigen uns mit der Biographie von Adam Worth. Er hat nicht nur zahlreiche Verbrechen auf mehreren Kontinenten verübt, in London ein Verbrechens-Kartell aufgebaut und das damals teuerste Gemälde gestohlen, sondern war auch als „Napoleon des Verbrechens“ die Inspiration für den Gegenspieler von Sherlock Holmes: Professor Moriarty. Das Episodenbild zeigt das Gemälde von Thomas Gainsborough mit Georgiana Cavendish, das Adam Worth stiehlt, nachdem es erst kurz zuvor bei einer Auktion für einen Rekordpreis verkauft wurde. Als Literatur für das Thema wird in der Folge das Buch „The Napoleon of Crime: The Life and Times of Adam Worth, Master Thief“ von Ben Macintyre erwähnt.

Nouveau coup de cœur de Gérard Collard : Ce livre écrit par l'auteur de L'Espion et le Traître raconte la vie extraordinaire d'un bandit de haut vol, Adam Worth (1844-1902). Il naît en Allemagne en 1844. Sa famille émigre aux États-Unis quelques années plus tard. Les Worth sont misérables. Dans le quartier de la Petite Allemagne (Die kleine Deutschland) à New York où ils habiteront, le jeune Adam se trouvera au cœur de l'«École du crime», la meilleure du monde, pourrait-on dire.

On January 8th, 1902 Adam Worth died. He was buried in Highgate Cemetery in a mass pauper's grave under the name of "Henry J. Raymond". An unceremonious end to a man whose crimes may have inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous character Moriaty, the criminal mastermind.

NOIR FACTORY PODCAST CASE #23- The Real Life Inspiration for Professor Moriarty.   “He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson. He is the organizer of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city, He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker. He has a brain of the first order. He sits motionless, like a spider in the center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them. He does little himself. He only plans.” -Arthur Conan Doyle     He was the World's Greatest Detective, but what did that mean if he went up against purse snatchers and sneak-thieves. He matched wits with the best criminals in London, but how impressive was that if you always came out on top? If you always won?   Doyle’s detective bored quickly and needed the game to keep his senses sharp, his intellect keen. So if you are Arthur Conan Doyle and you have the great Sherlock Holmes at your disposal, you don't need a good villain or even a brilliant foe.   You need the greatest criminal mind ever.   You need the man Scotland Yard dubbed the “Napoleon of Crime.” Adam Worth was born to a Jewish family in Germany in 1844 and traveled with his parents to America five years later. The Worth family settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Adam's father was a tailor and young Adam helped around the shop.   When he was 5 years old, young Adam was conned into trading two old, dull pennies for a bright, shinny new one.   Adam's father beat the boy for falling for the trick and even at that early, tender age, Adam Worth vowed that “no one would ever get the better of Adam Worth in any business transaction, regular or irregular.
