De eerste aflevering van In de Zevende Hemel eindigde als volgt:Marilyn zag het met ongelovige ogen aan, Rooie Rita beet haar roodgelakte nagels stuk van de spanning en Hein Maegerman zat met zijn handen in zijn schaarse haren. Hij begreep er niets meer van. De enige min of meer redelijke verklaring die hij kon bedenken voor deze betreurenswaardige gang van zaken, was dat meneertje Van Stichelen in zijn lange leven zoveel rotzooi naar binnen had gewerkt, zowel in vloeibare als in vaste vorm, dat hij er min of meer immuun voor geworden was. Het leek volslagen ongeloofwaardig, maar meneertje Van Stichelen moest in werkelijkheid wel zo'n beetje een man van staal zijn, met ingewanden van gewapend beton. De bedorven maatjes, het gemalen glas en de antivries hadden eenzelfde effect op hem als champagne en kaviaar op een doorgewinterde courtisane…MYSTERIES VAN ROODE of... Hoe moeilijk kan het zijn om een moord te plegen?Er bestaan misdaadverhalen die zo onwaarschijnlijk zijn dat zelfs de meest ervaren romanschrijver ervoor terugschrikt om ze te vertellen, omdat ze zo ongeloofwaardig klinken. Toch zijn het vaak precies deze verhalen die waar gebeurd zijn.

In de twee afleveringen van deze reeks loopt parallel met het misdaadverhaal in de Zevende Hemel van Roode een "murder ballad" mee over Tony Marino en Michael Malloy, die als een voorafschaduwing kan gelden voor wat gebeurt in het verhaal over Mooie Mina - ook Marilyn geheten -, begrafenisondernemer Hein Magerman en "man van staal" Honoré Van Stichelen.Meer informatie over Tony Marino en Michael Malloy vindt u op de blog van Patrick Bernauw: www.bernauw.comScript, stem, opname, montage: Patrick Bernauw.

In the summer of 1928, Al Capone was back in Chicago and was still building his empire. Things like gambling, prostitution, and, of course, liquor, were still making up the bulk of his profits – but he knew that wasn't going to last forever. He knew that he needed to diversify, a lesson he learned from John Torrio, who knew that Prohibition would only last for so long. Capone's most profitable alternative to liquor was racketeering. A racketeer was defined as the boss of a supposedly legitimate business operation. Labor unions were the most common operations. Using violence and intimidation, he organized the union or pushed a group of businessmen into a “protective association.” A worker or merchant who didn't join or refused to stay in the union and pay tribute was bombed, beaten, or intimidated into changing his mind. He was making a fortune that way -- but he had problems, too. Even as the millions continued to roll in, he found the problems hampering his business over and over again. The North Side Gang, now led by George Moran, was just as relentless as it had been under the leadership of O'Banion, Weiss, and Drucci. It was time to take care of that problem once and for all and on February 14, 1929 -- a deadly plan was hatched.

Adrian and Dion are back, saying hello to their little friend. In this case, that friend is Howard Hawks' Scarface (1932) and Brian De Palma's remake, Scarface (1983). They discuss the "two Tonys" - Paul Muni as Tony Camonte and Al Pacino as Tony Montana - and the different contexts that give rise to these gangster films. They return to the key aspects of the films that make them both so effective, yet distinguished from one another.

On Valentine's Day 1929, seven men were lined up against a wall in a Chicago garage and shot dead. Nearly a century later, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre may still be leaving its mark on the city. In this episode of the True Hauntings Podcast, Anne and Renata revisit the gangland violence surrounding Al Capone and his rival “Bugs” Moran, then follow the ghost stories tied to the massacre. What have people reported at the places connected to that bloody February morning—and how much of the haunting is history?

In this lively episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed celebrates two fantastic picture books that blend heart, humor, and big feelings. First up we celebrate "Owl Capone" with debut author Christy Ewers and illustrator Rob Sayegh Jr. Christy shares how a lifelong fascination with classic gangster movies and Al Capone's quote, "Don't mistake my kindness for weakness," eventually hatched into Owl, the kindest soul in the Windy Forest. She wanted to flip the gangster trope, exploring what happens when someone kind is hurt or betrayed—and how choosing to "kill 'em with kindness" is its own kind of strength. Rob, who is also represented by Christy as his agent, talks about instantly seeing the character in his mind and diving deep into Chicago and Capone lore. He sprinkles the art with playful Easter eggs—like the Green Bill (a wink to Chicago's Green Mill) and Deers & Roebuck—creating layers of jokes and details that kids will love and grown-ups will quietly appreciate. Christy also pulls back the curtain on the role of a literary agent, describing it as part producer, part lawyer, part therapist, and full-time advocate for creators navigating a constantly shifting marketplace. Later, Jed welcomes Loryn Brantz, author-illustrator of "I Am a Spicy Nugget." Inspired by her own fiery, big-feelings kid, Lauren uses humor and imaginative play—like pretending her daughter turned into a "spicy nugget"—to diffuse meltdowns. The book helps families name big emotions, talk about anger, and see tantrums with more empathy and playfulness, while reminding kids (and parents) that feelings are powerful, but manageable.

Living with chronic pain Chronic pain is generally defined as pain that lasts for more than three months, and it can stem from an injury, an illness, inflammation or sometimes a cause doctors can't identify. Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults experiences chronic pain, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Chronic pain becomes more common with age and is slightly more common among women, but it can affect people at any age. When pain becomes a constant part of someone's life, its effects can extend far beyond physical, affecting sleep, mobility, mental health, relationships and the ability to work or participate in everyday life. Wednesday on the “Sound of Ideas,” hosted by Stephanie Haney, we're talking about what it means to live with pain that doesn't go away, and whether there are ways to change the way we understand and respond to it. Guests:- Pavan Tankha, D.O., Medical Director, Comprehensive Pain Recovery, Cleveland Clinic- Robert Saper, M.D., Chair, Department of Wellness and Preventative Medicine & Nancy J. and Michael F. Roizen Chair of Wellness, Cleveland Clinic- Gary Klein, Creator and Facilitator, Northeast Ohio Pain Support Group- Talia, "Disabled.Girlie," Chronic Illness Content Creator "Cleveland Mafia Summit" In December of 1928, two dozen well-dressed men caught the eye of a Cleveland police officer outside of the Statler Hotel in Playhouse Square. After jotting down their names from the hotel register and passing them off to the detective's bureau, the authorities realized they had stumbled upon a collection of mafia members, right around the same time as a telegram had come in warning that some of Al Capone's men were traveling to Cleveland for a meeting. Why did these gangland members choose Northeast Ohio for their summit? What were they here to talk about? And what happened to each of these 23 men, after 75 officers descended upon the Statler to bust up their plans? To end the hour, we'll learn the answers to these questions with the help of "Cleveland Mafia Summit" author Don Billie. Guest:- Don Billie, Author, "Cleveland Mafia Summit"

**Discussion begins at 3:10**Picture this: You're standing on a tiny island in the middle of San Francisco Bay.  The city skyline is just over one mile away.  You can see it.  At night, you can see the lights.  If the wind is right, you can even hear the sounds of people living their normal, free lives across the water.  But between you and them is freezing water, brutal currents, and a prison specifically designed to make sure you never leave.  Welcome to Alcatraz.  From 1934-1962 the former military fortress became the home of some of America's most notorious criminals, including Al Capone, George “Machine Gun” Kelly, and Whitey Bulger to name a few.  If they were too notorious, too dangerous, or too escape prone for normal prisons, they were sent to Alcatraz.  And honestly, the setup was pretty solid.  You had reinforced cells, armed guards, watchtowers, barbed wire, and almost two miles of San Francisco Bay between you and freedom.  The government was so confident in this arrangement that Alcatraz developed a reputation as being virtually escape-proof.  Officially, no prisoner ever successfully escaped Alcatraz.But on the morning of June 12, 1962, guards discovered something very inconvenient.  Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin were not in their cells.  The men had spent months secretly digging holes through the walls of their cells using homemade tools, hiding the damage behind fake vents, building dummy heads out of soap, concrete dust, paint and actual human hair, constructing a raft out of stolen raincoats, and essentially running a tiny arts-and-crafts program behind the backs of the federal government.  Then they climbed through the walls, got onto the roof, made their way to the shoreline, launched their homemade raft into San Francisco Bay…. and vanished.The FBI eventually concluded that the men most likely drowned, despite the bodies never being found.  And this is where we put on our little tin foil hats.  Because over the decades, there have been alleged sightings, family stories, mysterious photographs, flowers reportedly sent to the Anglin brothers' mother, and even a letter allegedly written by one of the escapees claiming that all three men survived.  So either three convicted criminals drowned in one of the coldest, roughest stretches of water in California... or the federal government spent years insisting that nobody could escape Alcatraz after three men successfully escaped Alcatraz.  And that is not even the only weird thing about this island.Alcatraz has military history, infamous mobsters, bizarre escape attempts, a violent prison uprising literally called the Battle of Alcatraz in which the Marines had to save the day, an Indigenous occupation, and enough alleged paranormal activity that apparently even after the prison closed, some residents still refused to check out.  Get your drinks ready Foil Heads, because today we are going to The Rock.Send us Fan MailSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Socialism 2026 Conference Kicks Off in Chicago Featuring Marxism Classes, Anti-Israel Panels, and DSA Endorsement Chicago has seen a lot come and go – the World's Fair, Al Capone, a functioning city budget. This weekend, it's hosting something arguably more destructive than all three. A four-day gathering is descending on the Windy City, and its organizers aren't even pretending to hide what they're about. The conference website proudly declares it's the place for “seasoned radicals and new activists to sharpen analysis, hone strategy, and build community.” Their words, not mine. Not sharpen job skills. Not build businesses. Sharpen radical analysis.... View Article

This week on Born to Watch, we head into Prohibition-era Chicago for The Untouchables 1987 Review, revisiting Brian De Palma's stylish gangster classic starring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro and Andy Garcia. It's cops, Capone, Tommy guns, questionable accents, immaculate suits and enough testosterone to make this one of the great 1980s sausage fests. More importantly, this special episode is dedicated to our great mate Chupperz, who requested the film. Chupperz, this one is for you.Released in 1987, The Untouchables takes us into the battle between federal agent Eliot Ness and Chicago crime boss Al Capone. Kevin Costner plays Ness as the ultimate straight-laced good guy, determined to bring Capone down legally, at least until Chicago starts teaching him that playing by the rules might not be enough.Enter Sean Connery as Jimmy Malone.Connery won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the role, and the boys spend plenty of time discussing whether he is also the real star of the movie. Malone brings the experience, attitude, and gravitas Ness needs, along with one of the best approaches to law enforcement ever put on screen. If they pull a knife, you might want to start thinking about bringing something slightly more substantial.Then there's Andy Garcia as George Stone, young, ridiculously cool, deadly accurate and sporting enough back hair to qualify as an additional cast member. Garcia doesn't need many lines to make an impression. He simply turns up, looks cool and shoots people with an accuracy that would make most action heroes jealous.And then we get Bobby De Niro.Robert De Niro goes full method as Al Capone, putting on the weight and delivering a wonderfully smug, intimidating performance. The problem? Whitey wants more of him. A lot more. The discussion turns to whether The Untouchables missed an opportunity by keeping Capone relatively limited, instead of giving De Niro more screen time and letting the film explore both sides of the battle.There's also plenty of love for Brian De Palma's direction. This movie is packed with memorable filmmaking, from brutal moments of violence to beautifully constructed suspense. The famous Union Station sequence remains the standout, slowly tightening the tension before everything explodes. Even if the boys have a few questions about that pram, the woman carrying it, the strangely busy midnight railway station and why nobody thought to give her a hand.The episode also digs into Ennio Morricone's brilliant score, one of the elements that immediately gives The Untouchables its identity. The music is bold, instantly recognisable and a massive part of why the movie still feels so cinematic decades later.Of course, this is Born to Watch, so respectful film analysis only lasts so long.The boys question continuity problems, Sean Connery's Scottish take on an Irish accent, Frank Nitti's questionable escape plan, Capone's all-in-one grooming experience, Costner's white-knight energy, and whether a piece of paper listing bribed jurors would really be enough to send a courtroom completely sideways.There's also the usual trip through The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Snorbs Report, Film School for F-Wits, quotables, trivia and the random tangents that somehow turn a discussion about a Brian De Palma gangster movie into conversations that have absolutely no right being there.But beneath all the piss-taking is genuine appreciation for a movie that still looks fantastic. The costumes, locations, production design and old-school filmmaking give The Untouchables a scale and atmosphere that remains impressive nearly four decades later.Is Costner charismatic enough to carry it? Is Connery actually the MVP? Should De Niro have been given far more screen time? Is the Union Station shootout still one of the great action sequences of the 1980s?And most importantly, where does The Untouchables eventually land in the sacred halls of the Born to Watch Rank Bank?You'll have to listen to find out.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONThink The Untouchables is an untouchable 1980s classic? Let us know your favourite scene, character and quote. And if you've got a movie you think deserves the full Born to Watch treatment, send it our way. Just remember, as Chupperz discovered, getting your movie selected also means giving the boys permission to absolutely tear it apart.Born to Watch, the Movie Review Podcast where we don't take the movies, or ourselves, too seriously.#TheUntouchables #TheUntouchables1987 #BornToWatch #MovieReviewPodcast #KevinCostner #SeanConnery #RobertDeNiro #AndyGarcia #BrianDePalma #80sMovies

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Al Capone, Ed Sullivan, fake Jan Brady, a Lawrence Welk crush, and the days when just about everybody seemed to have a television variety show. We talk Milton Berle becoming Mr. Television, six-year-old Rose Marie getting a gold ring from Al Capone, Ed Sullivan surviving decades of changing television, and some of the legendary performers who found their way onto his stage. We also talk The Carol Burnett Show, Tim Conway breaking Harvey Korman, Laugh-In, Sonny & Cher, Donny & Marie, Captain & Tennille, and the Brady Bunch Variety Hour. Plus, Vicki Lawrence's surprising career beyond Carol Burnett, the Hudson Brothers as the poor man's Three Dog Night, and the bizarre television experiment known as Pink Lady. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with forgotten TV shows, one-season wonders, Kev on the Scene Classics, stars who knew when it was time to walk away, stars who didn't, and a plea to keep Pot Luck Saturday from going on hiatus.

Happy Thursday! We got a 2-hour shorty following The Ryan Day Show. What on earth is going to happen with LSU's roster and these former NFL players? We play Fool's Paradise. Myles Garrett was named the best player in the NFL by his peers. Rothman is challenging Scotty Vegas to put the ball in play against a high school pitcher. We make our official Heisman picks.

In the fall of 1926, the best friend of Chicago gangsters returned to politics and got his name added to the Republican mayoral primary ballot. William “Big Bill” Thompson was back from political exile – he just couldn't stay away. In early July, he sailed his yacht down the Chicago River and into Lake Michigan, carrying an motley crew of politicians, businessmen, beer-swilling clowns, assorted cronies, and a gangster or two. They were cheered on by thousands of people who lined the shoreline. The man was a walking punchline, but people loved him. He'd spent the last year or so rebuilding his political capital, knowing that Chicago was not a city that wanted reform as badly as the current mayor wanted to offer it. Al Capone was so enthused about the corrupt former mayor's return that he contributed $250,000 to Thompson's campaign fund and introduced every form of bribery and terrorism imaginable on the man's behalf. It was also during this campaign that Capone was credited with the Chicago's most famous political slogan and one that's still around to this day:“Vote early and vote often.”Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Prince Mashele has a warning for KwaZulu-Natal: when Jacob Zuma dies, he believes MK's hold on the province won't survive him. On this Daybreak, the political analyst spells out the party he's quietly building to replace the ANC, who he says is bankrolling it, and why he'd rather copy Singapore than "African democracy." Then Rob Hersov makes the case that Johannesburg is being run like 1920s Chicago, except the mafia here has captured the police, the courts and the boardroom too, and nobody agrees on who the city's Al Capone actually is. Johnny Copelyn, in one of his last interviews as HCI's boss, explains why South Africa is still sitting on oil and gas its neighbours are racing to exploit. Riël Malan explains why 36 failed startups taught him more than any MBA could. And Wall Street closes out August in the red as a hawkish Fed chair and a spiking oil price rattle markets, with one Californian utility down 20% in a single session.

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave SmithThe West's grip on Iran is not diplomacy. It is an offer a country cannot refuse. This episode follows that gangster logic from the 1953 CIA-MI6 coup against Mohammad Mossadegh, through Iran-Contra and Mena, to the Business Plot — the Wall Street scheme to recruit America's most decorated Marine to stop the New Deal.Smedley Butler had two Medals of Honor and 33 years in the Corps. In War Is a Racket he said he was not a patriot for hire. He was “a high-class muscle man for Big Business… a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.” He made Mexico safe for oil, Haiti safe for the banks, Nicaragua safe for Brown Brothers, Honduras safe for fruit companies, China safe for Standard Oil. Al Capone ran three city districts. Butler said the Marines ran three continents.Same playbook in Tehran. Mossadegh nationalized Iranian oil. Operation Ajax removed him. Decades later Iran-Contra sold weapons to the same “terrorist state,” funneled the profits to the Contras in violation of the Boland Amendment, and looked the other way while cocaine paid for the war. Gary Webb was right that the CIA protected Contra-linked traffickers. He was wrong that one ring explained the crack epidemic. Mena was real. The legend is bigger than the documented load.Then they tried it at home. In 1933–34, after Roosevelt left the gold standard and launched New Deal jobs, housing, and labor programs, financiers approached Butler to lead 500,000 veterans on Washington. The plan: a “Secretary of General Affairs” as dictator, FDR as figurehead. Money from Wall Street. Arms from Remington. Cover from the American Liberty League.Butler got the names and testified under oath. The McCormack-Dickstein Committee reported that the plot “was discussed, was planned, and might have been placed in execution when and if the financial backers deemed it expedient.”Nobody was prosecuted.

Dimitri and Khalid discuss Brian De Palma's 1987 blockbuster “The Untouchables” and its deeply inaccurate representation of 1930s Chicago crime-fighting. From there, the boys explore the true vigilantes of the era: a shadowy organization of wealthy right-wing Chicago businessmen calling itself the “Secret Six”, who declared a total counterinsurgency war on Al Capone and bootleggers in the Windy City… For access to weekly premium SJ episodes, upcoming installments of DEMON FORCES, and the Grotto of Truth Discord, subscribe at https://patreon.com/subliminaljihad.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/12/arts/music/prince-buster-trailblazer-of-ska-dies-at-78.html  Cecil Bustamente Campbell was born in Kingston, Jamaica, on May 24, 1938. He performed with teenage groups in Kingston; he also became a boxer, taking the name Prince Buster.In the 1950s he began working for one of Jamaica's top producers and sound-system disc jockeys, Coxsone Dodd. By the end of the decade he had opened a record store, Buster's Record Shack, and was playing street parties with his own sound system, the Voice of the People. He decided to start producing songs as well as spinning them.Jamaicans were listening to, and imitating, the American R&B that reached the island on radio stations from New Orleans and Miami. Prince Buster's productions were more deliberately Jamaican. His production of the Folkes Brothers' “Oh Carolina,” recorded in 1959, meshed the traditional Nyabinghi drumming of a Rastafarian musician, Count Ossie, with what would come to be known as a ska beat.That beat, in songs like Eric Morris's “Humpty Dumpty,” made for huge hits in Jamaica and also had an impact in 1960s Britain. Prince Buster's instrumental “Al Capone” was a Top 20 hit there in 1965.By the end of the 1960s ska had given way to the slower rocksteady beat, a closer precursor of reggae. Prince Buster adapted, notably with his series of singles using his Judge Dread character. But in the early 1970s he gave up producing music and concentrated on business ventures, including record stores and a jukebox company, and moved to Miami.

La impostura acompaña a la humanidad desde sus orígenes. Su secreto no reside tanto en el farsante como en la gran cantidad de gente que necesita creerle. Todo gran engaño se sostiene sobre un público que quiere ver a un rey resucitado, a un príncipe perdido o a un superviviente heroico, un público que prefiere la ilusión antes que admitir su propia ingenuidad. El caso más antiguo documentado se remonta al 522 a.C., cuando el mago Gaumata se hizo pasar por Esmerdis, el hermano asesinado de Cambises II. Gaumata llegó a gobernar el imperio aqueménida hasta que Darío le derrocó. Se encargó además de que la posteridad supiese que había acabado con un impostor grabando la historia en piedra. En la Inglaterra de los Tudor, el flamenco Perkin Warbeck dijo ser Ricardo de York, uno de los príncipes ejecutados en la Torre de Londres. Durante varios años recorrió las cortes europeas antes de acabar ahorcado en 1499. Años más tarde, tras la muerte de Sebastián I de Portugal en la batalla de Alcazarquivir sin que se encontrase su cadáver, surgiría el sebastianismo. Aparecieron varios falsos Sebastianes uno de ellos un pastelero castellano, Gabriel de Espinosa, y el otro un calabrés errante, Marco Túlio Catizzone, que ni hablaba portugués ni se parecía al monarca pero aún así encontró adeptos que le creían. El siglo de las luces no hizo honor a su nombre rindiéndose a los charlatanes más audaces. Un aventurero francés llamado George Psalmanazar engañó a todos en Inglaterra asegurando que provenía de una tribu exótica de la isla de Formosa. El conde de Saint-Germain insinuaba ser inmortal y Giuseppe Balsamo, convertido en conde de Cagliostro, se dedicó a vender elixires y extraños cultos masónicos que tenían mucho público. Aquella élite ilustrada era precisamente la que más deseaba ser embaucada. El siglo XIX trajo fraudes a otra escala. El escocés Gregor MacGregor se inventó un país entero en Centroamérica, Poyais, para el que emitió moneda y títulos de deuda en la City londinense. Mary Baker se transformó en la princesa Caraboo de una isla inexistente. Todos anhelaban exotismo y eso mismo fue lo que obtuvieron. Ya en el siglo XX, un zapatero prusiano llamado Wilhelm Voigt demostró que con un simple uniforme de capitán se podía dar un gran golpe. El austriaco Victor Lustig llegó a vender dos veces la torre Eiffel a unos chatarreros y a timar al mismísimo Al Capone. La ejecución de los miembros de la familia imperial rusa dio a Franziska Schanzkowska, una joven polaca de extracción humilde, la oportunidad de hacerse pasar por la gran duquesa Anastasia. En la posguerra el español Enric Marco se hizo pasar por un superviviente de los campos de concentración y gracias a ello ganó mucha celebridad. En la misma época Ferdinand Waldo Demara fue encadenando oficios, algunos muy delicados como el de cirujano, sin tener un solo título. Lo que une todas estas historias no es tanto el descaro de los farsantes como el deseo colectivo que supieron encarnar. El impostor no inventa esos deseos, se limita a representarlos y luego cada cual proyecta sobre ellos lo que ya lleva dentro. Por eso los recordamos más con simpatía que con rencor porque nos revelan hasta qué punto nos atraen las mentiras reconfortantes.

Forty years ago, millions of Americans turned on their TVs to watch The Mysteries of Al Capone's Vault. In this live broadcast, construction workers blasted their way into a subterranean chamber beneath Chicago's Lexington Hotel, believed to have been a secret vault that belonged to the crime boss. My guest, William Elliott Hazelgrove, author of the new book, Capone's Vault, tells the story of how this broadcast got made and what investigators discovered underneath the Lexington once the cameras were rolling.

Shakespeare and Al Capone. What could possibly be a link between these two men who were born centuries apart? A master codebreaker named Elizebeth Smith Friedman. If her name doesn't sound familiar, there's a reason for that. Even though she is one of the pioneers of cryptanalysis, very few people knew about her war-changing contributions until after her files were declassified in 2008.

Le 11 août 1934, un convoi discret quitte le continent pour une petite île battue par les vents en pleine baie de San Francisco. À son bord, 137 détenus.Tous choisis pour leur dangerosité, leur capacité à s'évader, leur légende aussi parfois. Direction Alcatraz. L'île n'était qu'un fort militaire.Ce jour-là, elle devient la prison fédérale la plus redoutée d'Amérique. Haute sécurité, règles strictes, isolement presque total. Aucune chance d'évasion, en tout cas, c'est ce qu'on affirme.Ici, pas de rédemption affichée, pas de promesses de seconde chance. Le message est clair, ceux qui échouent ailleurs viennent ici pour être oubliés. Al Capone y sera transféré. George "Machine Gun Kelly" aussi, et puis d'autres figures du crime organisé. Mais derrière les barreaux, les gangsters ne sont plus que des numéros. Et l'île, cernée par les eaux glacées et les courants violents, devient leur ultime horizon. Alcatraz, c'est autant une prison qu'un symbole, celui d'une Amérique qui veut se montrer forte face au crime, après la prohibition, après les années folles. Une île-prison pour contenir la peur. Et pourtant, elle fermera 29 ans plus tard, trop coûteuse, trop dure, trop contestée. Mais la légende, elle, n'a jamais quitté les murs. Le 11 août 1934, Alcatraz est né de la peur et de l'ordre, et son nom continue de résonner comme une menace ou une fascination que certains aujourd'hui aimeraient bien rouvrir.

If you visit Westlawn Cemetery just outside Chicago, you'll find a simple granite headstone for the man who silenced Lee Harvey Oswald on live television. But carved right in the center of that marker is a bracketed childhood nickname: Jack "Sparky" Ruby. In part two of our special miniseries, we rewind the tape to the cobblestones of 1920s Chicago to meet the teenage Jacob Rubenstein long before the strip clubs, the mobsters, and the history-shattering events in Dealey Plaza. This is the story of a boy running wild on Roosevelt Street—a kid who refused to sit at a school desk, refused to work for a boss, and violently beat anyone who dared call him by his own name.Following his designation as a dependent ward of the state in 1923, young Jacob was temporarily exiled to a rural Illinois foster farm—a quiet landscape that must have felt like another planet to a boy raised on the pavement of the Maxwell Street ghetto. Though his fractured family was loosely patched back together a couple of years later, the household remained a chaotic, disorganized pressure cooker. Jacob quickly sought his education on the streets, bouncing between grammar schools and repeating the third grade before dropping out permanently after the eighth grade at age sixteen. Traditional high school was an unaffordable luxury; for Jacob, survival meant money, and he made a lifelong rule: he would never work for a boss, choosing instead to survive on pure grit as a street hustler.As the Great Depression squeezed the Chicago streets dry, Jacob's hustle took on many forms. He and his teenage friends became street-level ticket scalpers outside local ballparks and boxing arenas, which led to his first physical altercation with a police officer. Though he escaped charges through his brother's early political connections, the margins on the street grew razor-thin, pushing Jacob into a highly unusual black-market venture: printing and selling unauthorized bootleg copies of copyrighted sheet music. The scheme landed him a brief, humiliating stint behind bars, deepening his view of himself as an outsider who had to scrape, claw, and fight for every single dime.During these formative years, Jacob's personality split into two completely contradictory worlds. To some, he was a gentle, polite boy who idolized world welterweight champion Barney Ross. To others, he was a manic street brawler with a legendary hair-trigger temper who was obsessed with physical health and boasting he could hit harder than Joe Louis. Nothing triggered his volcanic rage faster than his childhood nickname "Sparky"—a name his sister Eva claimed mocked his awkward, wobbling walk like a comic strip horse, but his brother Hyman insisted was a badge of lightning speed and street intelligence. By 1933, with the Chicago streets dry and Al Capone's gangster empire fracturing, Jacob packed his bags for California carrying with him the deep insecurities and explosive temper that would one day seal his fate in a Dallas basement.

Is kindness in school leadership a weakness, or is it the one thing that actually stops your best teachers walking out the door?In this episode of the podcast, Ben Whitaker and Steve Hope sit down with Joanna Povall, principal, COBIS lead improvement partner, and author of Kind Leadership: Leading Schools with Empathy, Honesty and Impact. Joanna has spent 30 years in education across the UK, France and the UAE, including running a school through genuine crisis conditions in Abu Dhabi, and now carries out school accreditation visits everywhere from Tokyo to Ascension Island.We cover:- Why Joanna wrote Kind Leadership after coming close to burnout in a school that turned toxic almost overnight- The difference between being nice and being kind, and why people confuse the two- - The Al Capone quote that shaped the whole book, and what it reveals about legacy and leadershipThe CHASE framework: Communication, Honesty, Accountability, Self-esteem and Ego- What COBIS accreditation actually looks like when it's done as a relationship, not an inspection- Whether leaders can be both liked and respected- Why teacher and headteacher retention is a leadership problem before it's anything else- Being kind to yourself, and the story behind the now-famous red jacketIf you lead people, manage a team, or have ever worried that being kind makes you look weak, this conversation will change how you think about it. Joanna makes a compelling, funny, and occasionally uncomfortable case that kindness and accountability were never opposites.Chapters00:00 Highlights02:20 Welcome to the Edufuturists Podcast04:14 Meet Joanna Povall: from Manchester to Abu Dhabi06:11 Moving into international school leadership08:53 A melting pot of cultures and communities11:14 Inside COBIS: what accreditation really looks like14:23 Why accreditation should build relationships, not fear20:10 Introducing the book: Kind Leadership20:41 The toxic experience that inspired the book25:38 Kindness vs weakness: the Al Capone question32:41 The CHASE Framework explained37:31 The red jacket story: kindness to yourself39:11 Can leaders be liked and respected?48:48 Being kind to yourself as a leader54:00 Quickfire QuestionsGrab a copy of Joanna's bookThanks so much for joining us again for another episode - we appreciate you.Ben & Steve xCheck out all about Edufuturists Want to sponsor future episodes or get involved with the Edufuturists work?Get in touch Grab your copy of the new Pick 'n' Mix Education bookJoin the Edufuturists Wolfpack

Ganz klar, wenn man zum ersten Mal in die USA reist, wird man höchstwahrscheinlich nicht gerade Arkansas und Alabama besuchen. Wegen der wechselvollen oft dunklen Geschichte der Südstaaten gibt es in den Südosten des Landes viel zu entdecken – Orte, die an die Bürgerrechtsbewegung erinnern ebenso wie lebendige Musikgeschichte, Artenvielfalt in State Parks und schnuckelige kleine Downtowns.„La petite roche“- kleiner Felsen- so nannte der französische Entdecker de la Harpe eine Gesteinsformation, als er Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts den heutigen Arkansas River landeinwärts entlangschipperte. Die Hauptstadt des heutigen Bundesstaats Arkansas heißt „Little Rock“. Eine Stadt mit rund 200 000 Einwohnern, die sich über viele Quadratkilometer verteilt, aus einem Patchwork unterschiedlicher Neighbourhoods besteht und mit viel Interessantem aufwartet. Nahe des State Capitols von Arkansas erinnert eine eindrucksvolle Skulptur an die „Little Rock Nine“.Das waren die ersten afroamerikanischen Schülerinnen und Schüler, die nach der offiziellen Aufhebung der Rassentrennung in Arkansas eine High School besuchten. 1957 war das - der Gouverneur von Arkansas versuchte, ihnen den Besuch der High School zu verwehren, ein weißer Mob demonstrierte vor der Schule. Und Präsident Eisenhower setzte schließlich Bundestruppen ein, um die Schüler zum Unterricht zu eskortieren. Heute wird die High School samt Gelände vom National Park Service betreut, es gibt Führungen und unterschiedlichste Veranstaltungen.Überhaupt, Little Rock bietet eine ziemlich vielfältige Museumslandschaft. Von den dichten Wäldern und mittelgebirgsähnlichen Regionen in Arkansas zum Süden von Alabama. Das Tensaw River Delta bei Mobile wird auch der „Amazonas Nordamerikas“ genannt. Hier, wo sich Salz- und Süßwasser mischen, ist eine enorme Artenvielfalt zu finden - allein rund 300 Vogelarten sind hier gesichtet worden, dazu zahlreiche Amphibien, Alligatoren und kleine Säugetiere.Mobile selbst gehört zu den ältesten Städten der USA und ist besonders stolz auf seinen „Mardi Gras“, den ältesten Nordamerikas. Doch Mobile steht auch für ein dunkles Kapitel der amerikanischen Geschichte - im Viertel Africatown erzählt ein kleines Museum seit einigen Jahren die Geschichte der „Clotilda“. Das Schiff schmuggelte 1860 – Jahrzehnte nach dem Verbot des transatlantischen Sklavenhandels - 110 aus Westafrika verschleppte Menschen nach Alabama. Ihre Nachfahren leben heute teilweise noch in Africatown. Und wollen mit dem Museum aber auch mit regelmäßigen Veranstaltungen dafür sorgen, dass ihre Geschichte nicht in Vergessenheit gerät.Crosspromotion: ARD-Podcast: "Amerika, wir müssen reden" https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/amerika-wir-muessen-reden,podcast5882.htmlModeration: Philipp AbreschAutor:in: Sabine LoeprickRedaktion: Philipp Abresch, Angelika PenzMitarbeit: Patricia Batlle Produktion: Wolfgang Seesko, Konrad Winkler

After surviving a terrorist nightmare, Justice Department lawyer Blake Hudson takes on a new enemy: the Chicago mafia. Assigned to the Organized Crime Strike Force, he dives into a world that's nothing like the movies. The Chicago Outfit may still live in Al Capone's shadow, but its power has evolved—slicker, smarter, and more dangerous than ever. At its center is Enzo Renzi—a polished consigliere with an Ivy League mind and a conscience buried beneath layers of loyalty. To Blake, he's the key to bringing the Outfit down. To others, he's a marked man. Ruthless killers close in, and neither Enzo nor Blake knows who's behind the crosshairs. When a secret meeting between rival gangs threatens to ignite a citywide war, Blake races to stop it—only to uncover something far darker than mob violence: a hidden network whose reach extends deep into America's institutions. Chad Boudreaux is a Washington insider hired by the U.S. Department of Justice the night before the September 11, 2001 attacks—launching him immediately into counterterrorism work that earned him high accolades at an early age. His success in the Justice Department carried him to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, where his role as Deputy Chief of Staff allowed him to work directly on significant policy, operational, and legal issues facing the Department. He currently is the chief legal officer of a publicly traded, Fortune 300 company and America's largest military shipbuilder. Boudreaux leverages his unique, high-level experience in global security matters and his extensive legal expertise to craft breathtaking, insider stories of mystery and intrigue that are ripped from today's headlines and are sure to shock his readers. book out now!

Brad Paisley recently started rolling out tracks for his ongoing project, Tacklebox, and I had the absolute honor of sitting in the studio to track these songs. But the craziest part of this project is the "butterfly effect" story of how it actually came to life.It all started in early 2025 during a random dinner with my buddy Dan Strain (Danocaster Guitars). A college-aged waiter recognized us, and fast forward a few months to the Nashville Vintage Guitar Show, I ran into him again. He was trying to sell his Brad Paisley Silver Sparkle Road Worn Telecaster to buy a much-needed acoustic guitar. I took him over to meet Brad to get it signed, and they ended up in a deep conversation.Turns out, this guy was a Belmont graduate who had interned at SeaGayle (Brad's publishing company). He started rattling off unreleased song titles from Brad's massive '90s songwriting vault, tunes written back when Brad was a professional songwriter aiming for cuts by Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, and George Strait. That conversation lit a spark, leading Brad to dig those tracks out of the archives, play them for the label, and head straight into the studio.In this video, I'm taking you behind the scenes of those tracking sessions at the historic Castle Recording Studio in Franklin, TN (a former Al Capone party house!). I break down the 1990s country session mindset, show you the handwritten legal-pad charts, and do a mini-guitar lesson on the actual fills, B-Bender licks, volume swells, and chorus-drenched parts I played on tracks like "Without You," "This Town" (where I played 6-string bass), and "Overnight Low." I also talk about tracking a wild harmony bender part with Brad on "High Ho Silverado" featuring David Lee Murphy.Plus, I give you a real-time studio floor tour showing off my rig, Randall Currie's steel setup, Kenny Lewis's bass rig, and Brad's legendary, re-covered red Vox AC30 from the 1960s.By the time you watch this, I'll be out on the road with Brad across Europe for the month of June! TIMESTAMPS0:00 - The "Butterfly Effect" Backstory: A Dinner with Danocaster3:56 - The Nashville Vintage Guitar Show Encounter that Sparked Tacklebox6:06 - Opening the 1990s Songwriting Vault (Writing for George Strait & Brooks & Dunn)7:51 - The Call to Play & Tracking at Al Capone's Old Castle Studio9:58 - The '90s Country Session Mindset & Handwritten Charts11:16 - Mini-Lesson: SWELLS & FILLS on "Without You"14:55 - The Session Pedalboard: Original TC Chorus & Mirage Compressor15:17 - 6-String Bass on "This Town" & Twin Harmony Benders on "High Hole Silverado"16:42 - The Hallmark Christmas Movie Detour17:55 - Heading to Europe: The June Tour Rig (Glazer Tele, Baritone, & Electric 12-String)19:34 - BONUS: Exclusive Studio Room Tour (Brad's Red Vox AC30, Steel & Bass Rigs)GEAR USED IN THIS VIDEO / SESSION:Fender Custom 3-Pickup Telecaster (Seymour Duncan Pickups, Music City Wiring Blend Control, B-Bender)Vintage 1968 Fender Princeton Amp (Studio demo) / Headstrong Amp (Tracking session)Original TC Electronic Stereo Chorus Flanger (Modded for DC Power)Mirage Compressor, Line 6 Echo Park, & Strymon El CapistanStream Brad Paisley's Tacklebox tracks here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/46ym8csh8mKzAia5pZikdu?si=53a544359fde4ee1www.truetone.comTo Support the Channel:Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/AskZachttps://ask-zac-shop.fourthwall.comTip jar:  https://paypal.me/AskZacVenmo @AskZac#BradPaisley #Tacklebox #AskZac #GuitarLesson #BBender #NashvilleSession #CountryGuitar #TheCastleStudio #VoxAC30 #Danocaster #Telecaster #GuitaristSupport the show

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: February, 2021Weird Darkness takes listeners inside the federal penitentiary on Alcatraz Island — what daily life was actually like behind its walls, the fourteen escape attempts that mostly ended in the San Francisco Bay, and a tour of American prisons whose conditions make the Rock look mild by comparison.It opens with the texture of everyday survival at Alcatraz, where the prison held roughly 330 men in cells measuring five feet by nine, and where food, clothing, shelter, and medical care were the only four rights an inmate had — everything else, from library access to a spot in the prison band, had to be earned. Warden James A. Johnston enforced a code of silence that lasted until 1937, so inmates like Jim Quillen talked through the pipes between cells, and Quillen described nineteen days in solitary as total silence and darkness. Al Capone begged his way into the Rock Islanders band and learned tenor guitar, tenor banjo, and mandola; Robert Stroud, the Birdman of Alcatraz, spent eleven of his seventeen years there in the hospital, studying law and languages. Prisoners were counted thirteen times a day, allowed a single two-page letter each week to a blood relative, and served food widely regarded as the best in the federal system — and still, by inmate Bryan Conway's account, fourteen of three hundred seventeen men went violently insane during his last year, one dock worker chopping off the fingers of his own left hand with an ax.From there, the episode turns to the men who tried to leave. Joseph "Dutch" Bowers became the first, shot off a fence on April 27th, 1936, while working the incinerator detail. Theodore Cole and Ralph Roe sawed through a window in the Model Industries Building and vanished into a storm-driven current in December 1937, their bodies never found. The 1938 breakout by James Limerick, Jimmy Lucas, and Rufus "Whitey" Franklin killed guard Royal C. Cline with a hammer; Arthur "Doc" Barker, son of Ma Barker, was shot in the head near the shoreline in January 1939. The May 1946 "Battle of Alcatraz" pulled in the Coast Guard and the Marines over two days and left guards William Miller and Harold Stites dead. And the most famous attempt of all came in June 1962, when Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin chipped through their cell walls with spoons, left dummy heads made of soap and hair in their beds, and disappeared on a raft stitched from raincoats — three men the FBI never found.The episode closes by leaving Alcatraz behind for prisons still standing. ADX Florence in Colorado, the "Alcatraz of the Rockies," holds inmates like Ted Kaczynski and Ramzi Yousef in seventy-five-square-foot concrete cells for twenty-three hours a day. At the Polunsky Unit in Livingston, Texas, an inmate named Andre Thomas removed his own eye. Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Maricopa County Tent City Jail in Phoenix housed people outdoors in the Arizona heat until it was dismantled in 2017. Orleans Parish Prison in New Orleans has stood on the same ground for three hundred years, first used to hold enslaved people who tried to escape. San Quentin, built in 1852 and once home to Charles Manson and Richard Ramirez, drew a court-appointed report describing a facility so old, dirty, and overcrowded that housing people there was called dangerous.

The Haunted Rock Island Roadhouse is a 50,000-square-foot former YMCA building located at 500 20th Street in Rock Island, Illinois. It has been officially recognized as a paranormal hotspot since investigations began in 2018. The structure, built in 1913, is historically linked to Prohibition-era organized crime…including serving as a front for a brothel run by Helen Van Dale, and a speakeasy connected to mobsters like John Looney and Al Capone!!!https://hauntedus.com/illinois/haunted-rock-island-ymca/https://www.hauntedrooms.com/illinois/ghost-hunts/rock-island-roadhousehttps://rockislandroadhouse.com/investigations-%26-eventshttps://rockislandroadhouse.com/historyhttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-222-paranormal-podcast-27825258/episode/483-rock-island-roadhouse-haunted-history-298623850/https://search.brave.com/ask?q=rock+island+roadhouse+haunted&conversation=094caba970434470d3a0c56d2d81f6a0ea51

Things Discussed: The Warde Report: Did they find anything? Apparently not. Do we get anything? Apparently not. Really? Eleven months of waiting and the answer is "nothing to see here?" Do we get a "report"? Does one exist? To avoid FOIA it's possible that the findings of the investigation were delivered orally so that they could not be used in litigation (e.g. Shiver's). That's a sad state of affairs, because we are interested parties who deserve access to the findings. The WSJ's thing: Claims Warde was aware of the relationship enough to warn Moore not to bring Shiver on a trip. Doesn't mean anything, unless you really want to stretch it, because the timeline shows the program conducted that investigation after it was brought to the university, and didn't have enough to do anything until Shiver came forward in December, at which point they fired Moore on the spot. Relitigating the scandals and "scandals." Craig says again he thought the Mel Pearson situation was handled correctly, which gets a lot of pushback. Seth says Warde wasn't playing the long game with the NCAA, and his indifferent approach to the buildup of Ohio State influence plus Harbaugh's inability to separate the little reportable stuff from the fights made all of it into a maximal storm over really miniscule events. The one thing that bothered in all of it was letting people into the building during COVID. That's a minor violation that should have been reported. The Bad Faith people—sparties, buckeyes, haters—don't need to be reasoned with. Just block and move on, because trying to reason with hate is a waste of time. Summary of status: They spent $X million(s) on an investigation, the results of which did not lead to the immediate termination of Warde Manuel, and which are not being shared. There is talk of a buyout, which means he's not getting removed now, and probably not for a year at least (there's 3 or 4 years left on his contract). There's clearly a faction that wants him gone, and clearly a faction that needs convincing, and this report did not do any convincing. I feel so....unsatisfied.

She covers Graham Platner ending his Maine Senate campaign after his Reddit post mocking a wounded Purple Heart soldier, the rape revelation and the Totenkopf tattoo; Finland's Supreme Court convicting MP Päivi Räsänen over a 2004 church pamphlet on Christian teaching (and Rod Dreher's report that she can't transit Heathrow); Google AI falsely claiming New York Times coverage of the case; the cyclospora parasite outbreak and America's dependence on Mexican produce under NAFTA and USMCA; and The Atlantic's numbers on the death of reading, from the National Endowment for the Arts surveys to the reversing Flynn effect. Then the Heritage Foundation's Roger Severino — Project 2025 drafter, former head of civil rights at HHS, husband of Carrie Severino — details the plan JD Vance boosted for fighting the Supreme Court's anchor-baby ruling: closing the 14th Amendment territories loophole behind Chinese birth tourism in the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam, declaring birth-tourist parents persona non grata for life unless they renounce their child's citizenship, expedited deportation for the parents, requiring hospitals to report citizenship status of parents, making illegal-alien parents pay public school tuition to challenge Plyler v. Doe, and using tax law against returning anchor-baby 'sleepers' — the Al Capone treatment.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2022Weird Darkness journeys into haunted prisons, botched executions, secret time-travel technology, and a neighbor's death that seemed to linger after the funeral, spanning true crime, the paranormal, and a firsthand ghost story from a listener.It opens with the ghosts of Death Row, where condemned killers appear to keep terrorizing long after execution. German immigrant Frederick Hollman, one of America's earliest serial killers, was hanged at the Ford County Jail in Paxton, Illinois, on May 14, 1897, after promising to return and rap on the windows of the witnesses and jurors who convicted him — and the jail is now a paranormal hotspot where his face has been photographed glaring into his old cell. Lavinia Fisher and her husband John ran the Six Mile House near Charleston, South Carolina, in the early 1820s, allegedly poisoning and dropping wealthy travelers through a trapdoor before their hanging for highway robbery, and her aggressive spirit is still blamed for choking sensations and foul stenches at the Old Charleston Jail. Raymond Snowden, dubbed Idaho's Jack the Ripper for the 1956 stabbing of Cora Dean, endured a botched twenty-minute hanging at the Old Idaho Penitentiary in Boise in 1957 and reportedly haunts the gallows site alongside inmate Douglas Van Vlack, who leaped to his death from the cell block rafters. Ted Bundy, executed in Florida's electric chair on January 24, 1989, has supposedly been seen grinning atop the chair and telling guards he beat them all, while Willie Lloyd Turner — executed by lethal injection in 1995 after fifteen years and five aborted trips to the chamber — appeared so lifelike after death that inmates mistook him for the living. The segment closes across the Atlantic with executioner John Ellis, who hanged more than a hundred people at Manchester's Strangeways Jail before killing himself in 1932 and is said to still patrol B Wing to keep the prison's other ghosts, including poisoner Mrs. Merrifield, in line.From there the episode moves to Alcatraz, the federal penitentiary that operated on its fog-bound San Francisco Bay island from 1934 to 1963 and earned a reputation as one of America's most haunted sites. The solitary cells of D-Block known as "the hole" are tied to the 1940s strangulation death of a screaming inmate in cell 14D, possibly the work of former occupant Rufus McCain, and visitors report icy fingers and unnatural cold there. The 1946 Battle of Alcatraz left two guards and three escapees dead in a utility corridor where clanging noises still echo, psychic Sylvia Browne sensed murdered hitman Abie "Butcher" Maldowitz in the laundry room, and the catacomb "dungeon" beneath A-Block preserves the screams of prisoners once chained naked to its walls. Al Capone spent part of his 1934 sentence strumming a banjo to hold off insanity, and that banjo music is still reportedly heard in the halls, while "Birdman" Robert Stroud haunts the hospital wing where he was confined among his canary research. The island carried dark associations long before the prison, from Ohlone tribal beliefs that it gathered evil spirits to the Civil War soldiers who died chained in its guardhouse basement, and even the 1969 to 1971 Native American occupation ended in fire and loss before the ghosts reportedly stayed behind.Next the episode turns to a fringe theory that reframes flying saucers as human technology rather than alien craft, arguing that a secretive commercial group used patent-law secrecy to build working time machines in twentieth-century laboratories. The account claims these machines can move an ion through time in both directions, that short-range "trans-burst" devices let a person leap across nearby distances, and that the UFOs people photograph are previews of future mankind rather than extraterrestrial visitors. It ties the idea to Einstein's 1901 work as a patent clerk and to E=mc², and recasts Area 51 as cover not for alien bodies but for a commercial experiment involving four trained monkeys linked to a 1961 interstellar flight.The episode closes with a listener account from Amber Harris, who lived at the end of a cul-de-sac in Williamsburg, Virginia, in a house set down in a ditch so the second floor sat level with the street. After her next-door neighbor died suddenly in his home and his widow moved away, the house sat unsold for months, and one night past midnight the hallway light outside Amber's bedroom switched on without the telltale sound of anyone climbing the loud staircase, casting the shadow of a male figure beneath her door before it went dark. Weeks later her sister woke her by text to watch the dead neighbor's dog standing beneath the orange street light, barking at the empty house before turning its head directly toward the two of them at the window and then vanishing, an image that stayed with the family until a job moved them to Indiana, with the neighbor's house still unsold when they drove past it the following May.

Episode 111: The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui by Bertolt Brecht Host: Douglas Schatz Guests: Stephen Sharkey and Tom Kuhn Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Bertolt Brecht's 'gangster spectacle', The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is both an exuberant and funny piece of theatre, and a chillingly topical political satire. Set in the 1930s Chicago of Al Capone, Brecht presents a parody of the rise of Hitler through the character of the gangster Arturo Ui. The play is a universal cry for vigilance against the rise of unscrupulous, populist leaders who threaten democratic societies and global peace. As we recorded this episode a new production of the play by the Royal Shakespeare Company was playing in Stratford-upon-Avon, starring Mark Gatiss as the title character. I am delighted to be joined by both the show's translator, playwright Stephen Sharkey, and by Brecht scholar, Professor Tom Kuhn, to guide us through Brecht's political parody.

On the night of April 21, 1986, an estimated 30 million Americans sat in front of their televisions waiting for a moment that almost no one alive had ever seen: a live, prime-time excavation of a gangster's secret vault. Geraldo Rivera, recently fired from ABC News and hungry for a comeback, had convinced Tribune Broadcasting to stake its credibility on a two-hour live special built around a single, tantalizing question: what had Al Capone hidden in the sealed basement of his Chicago headquarters? The network flew in IRS agents to handle the expected cash, a county medical examiner to process any bodies, and locksmiths to crack whatever fortress Capone had left behind. What they found, on live television, in front of 30 million viewers, was dirt and a few empty gin bottles. William Hazelgrove, author of Capone's Vault, joins the show to explain why the special was a ratings triumph anyway, and why that's the more interesting story. Capone had been dead for nearly 40 years, yet his myth was so potent, his legend so carefully self-constructed during his lifetime, that the mere possibility of a hidden room full of gold and skeletons was enough to hold the country's attention for two hours. The empty vault didn't kill the spectacle, it completed it, proving that anticipation is a more powerful television engine than any actual revelation. What Geraldo Rivera stumbled into that night, almost by accident, was the blueprint for every reality TV cliffhanger, true-crime docuseries, and hype-culture livestream that would follow in the next four decades.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“To hell with them Sicilians!”It was just an off-hand comment – a remark that was usually delivered with a smirk. Dean O'Banion and his North Siders were quick to say it. They didn't care. The South Side mob, run by John Torrio and Al Capone, were tolerated – they weren't pals. They were business associates and if it wasn't for the money they made for O'Banion and his crew, they'd have nothing to do with them at all.So, “to hell with them Sicilians” became a remark that often passed between them with a laugh. Other people, though, didn't find it so funny. To a Sicilian, it was a deadly insult – a quip that would eventually mark a man for death.And that man, of course, was O'Banion himself. And as brash and confident as he was, he never saw it coming.Check out our new American Hauntings Podcast Network for even more spooky shows.Have a question or comment?

In 1986, The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults drew a larger audience than the Super Bowl or David Frost's interview with Richard Nixon. The special was intended as a comeback for journalist Geraldo Rivera, built around the dramatic opening of a "vault" beneath Chicago's Lexington Hotel, rumored to contain Al Capone's riches. But when the vault was finally opened live the moment didn't deliver what millions of viewers were expecting. My guest is William Hazelgrove, author of Capone's Vault: The Real Story of the Biggest Disaster in Television History. His book traces how the idea came together, combining Rivera's career arc with the mythology of Capone's hidden fortune, and reconstructs the broadcast itself along with its fallout, showing how the event became a defining example of live television gone wrong.

Chicago in the 1920s is often remembered for the rise of organized crime and it's larger than life leaders like Al Capone and Johnny Torrio. While these men and their organizations surely shaped the city's identity, their infamy and influence were, at least for a short time, rivaled by a group of young women whose murderous acts would dominate headlines in papers around the country throughout the decade. While Beulah Annan and Belva Gardner—the real-life inspiration for the musical Chicago—were arguably the most well known of the female murders from this era, their famous murders were preceded by the equally sensationalized murder spree of Tillie Klimek. Between 1914 and 1921, Klimek was believed to have killed as many as seven people including four husbands. While her crimes would ultimately land her in the Illinois State Penitentiary for the rest of her life, her exploits and criminal trial were sensational and occupied the front pages of city newspapers for years.
