Justice is coming for Charline at last! News broke this week in her 16-year-old murder case. The first real hope for justice for Charline and her family. On Thursday, April 10, Middlesex County District Attorney Marion Ryan announced the arrest of Heinsky Anacreon, age 38, of Malden, Mass, who was indicted by a Middlesex County grand jury on charges of murder, willfully misleading a police officer and willfully misleading an attorney, charging him with first-degree murder in this cold case that has haunted Charline's family since the day she disappeared on April 7, 2009. The investigation revealed a heartbreaking betrayal - Charline was lured by so-called friends with the promise of a sweet deal on a car, only to be robbed and killed. Most disturbing perhaps is the evidence that after the murder, her killers celebrated with a bottle of Moet champagne and toasted their windfall. For those who've followed Crime of the Truest Kind, this case has been near to my heart. After sharing her case in a live show in 2024, and interviewing Charline's sister Rose (listen to episodes 71 and 72) last fall and advocating for this case at every opportunity, seeing this development brings joy. Nothing can bring Charline back or erase her family's 16 years of hoping and waiting for her killers to be caught. As we look toward a trial, I will continue following every development. Advocacy is key. After 16 years, there's finally been an arrest in the murder case of Charline Rosemond, a 23-year-old woman from Everett who was shot to death for $4,000 cash in 2009. Middlesex County District Attorney Marion Ryan has announced charges against Heinsky Anacreon, revealing that Charline was set up by someone she considered a close friend, Roberto Jude, who died before facing justice.• Charline disappeared April 7, 2009, she was found on April 13. • DNA evidence on the car's door handle linked Roberto Jude to the scene• Anacreon allegedly admitted to disposing of the murder weapon in a river• Charline's family will be meeting on April 13th at 3pm in Union Square, Somerville – the 16th anniversary of when she was foundMore at CrimeoftheTruestKind.comFacebook.com/justiceforcharlinerosemondSupport the showFollow Instagram | Facebook | BlueSky | TikTok | Threads | YouTube For show notes & source information at CrimeoftheTruestKind.comGive the dogs a bone tip jar: buymeacoffee.com/truestkindBecome a patron: Patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkindThis podcast has minimal profanity but from time to time you get one or some curse words.

The idea of sexual fluidity may seem new, but it is at least as old as the ancient Greeks, who wrote about queer experiences with remarkable frankness, wit, and insight. Sarah Nooter's How to Be Queer: An Ancient Guide to Sexuality (Princeton UP, 2024) is an infatuating collection of these writings about desire, love, and lust between men, between women, and between humans and gods, in lucid and lively new translations. Filled with enthralling stories, this anthology invites readers of all sexualities and identities to explore writings that describe many kinds of erotic encounters and feelings, and that envision a playful and passionate approach to sexuality as part of a rich and fulfilling life. How to Be Queer starts with Homer's Iliad and moves through lyric poetry, tragedy, comedy, philosophy, and biography, drawing on a wide range of authors, including Sappho, Plato, Anacreon, Pindar, Theognis, Aristophanes, and Xenophon. It features both beautiful poetry and thought-provoking prose, emotional outpourings and humorous anecdotes. From Homer's story of the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, one of the most intense between men in world literature, to Sappho's lyrics on the pleasures and pains of loving women, these writings show the many meanings of what the Greeks called eros. Complete with brief introductions to the selections, and with the original Greek on facing pages, How to Be Queer reveals what the Greeks knew long ago--that the erotic and queer are a source of life and a cause for celebration.

We find a freshly awakened Gaal Dornick, who has been in cryo-session for 34 years and 223 days.

Sean Carroll tells the story of a man who suffers an accidental death that leads him to visit Anacreon, the Greek god of drunken Revelry. There, he indulges in all the pleasures that the god can offer - but every time he gets too fond of them, he falls prey to tantalisation and humiliation.

The surviving fragments of his work show him to have been a metrical innovator of the highest ability.Archilochus's father was Telesicles, a wealthy Parian who founded a colony on the island of Thasos. Archilochus lived on both Paros and Thasos. Fragments of his poetry mention the solar eclipse of April 6, 648 BCE, and the wealth of the Lydian king Gyges (c. 680–645 BCE). The details of Archilochus's life, in the ancient biographical tradition, are derived for the most part from his poems—an unreliable source because the events he described may have been fictitious or may have involved imaginary personae or ritual situations.Modern discoveries, however, have supported the picture given in the poetry. Two inscriptions dedicated to Archilochus were discovered in a sacred area on Paros; they are named, after the men who dedicated them, the Mnesiepes inscription (3rd century BCE) and the Sosthenes inscription (1st century BCE). Archilochus's self-presentation was taken seriously as early as the late 5th century BCE by the Athenian politician and intellectual Critias, who denounced him for presenting himself as the impoverished, quarrelsome, foul-mouthed, lascivious son of a slave woman. Some scholars feel that the Archilochus portrayed in his poems is too scurrilous to be real.Archilochus probably served as a soldier. According to ancient tradition, he fought against Thracians on the mainland near Thasos and died when the Thasians were fighting against soldiers from the island of Naxos. In one famous poem, Archilochus tells, without embarrassment or regret, of throwing his shield away in battle. (“I saved my life. What do I care about my shield? The hell with it! I'll buy another just as good.”) The motif of the abandoned shield appears again in the lyric poems of Alcaeus and Anacreon, in a parody by Aristophanes (Peace), and in a learned variation by the Latin poet Horace (Carmina).Although the truth is difficult to discern with certainty from the poems and other evidence, Archilochus may have been disreputable. He was particularly famous in antiquity for his sharp satire and ferocious invective. It was said that a man named Lycambes betrothed his daughter Neobule to the poet and then later withdrew the plan. In a papyrus fragment published in 1974 (the “Cologne Epode”)—the longest surviving piece of Archilochus's poetry—a man, who is apparently the poet himself, tells in alternately explicit and hinting language how he seduced the sister of Neobule after having crudely rejected Neobule herself. According to the ancient accounts, Lycambes and his daughters committed suicide, shamed by the poet's fierce mocking.Archilochus was the first known Greek poet to employ the elegiac couplet and various iambic and trochaic metres, ranging from dimeter to tetrameter, as well as epodes, lyric metres, and asinarteta (a mixture of different metres). He was a master of the Greek language, moving from Homeric formulas to the language of daily life in a few lines. He was the first European author to make personal experiences and feelings the main subject of his poems: the controlled use of the personal voice in his verse marks a distinct departure from other surviving Greek verse, which is typically more formulaic and heroic. For his technical accomplishments Archilochus was much admired by later poets, such as Horace, but there was also severe criticism, especially of a moralistic character, by writers such as the poet Pindar (5th century BCE).From https://www.britannica.com/biography/Archilochus-Greek-author.

I speak to Anacreon about confluent online spheres, about reaching the same conclusions about liberalism via different redpill flavors, about high trust societies, social capital and how hard this is to build and how easy to burn, believing in progress, talking to your neighbors, Liberal democracy, the nuclear family, hard work and equality of opportunity. Anacreon is a guest with a unique origin story and one of the few non-Twitter-derived guests on this podcast. I found his great account on Instagram @totallynotanacreon and it is well worth a visit.

This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the season's penultimate episode and the final showdown between warden Salvor Hardin and the Anacreon huntress Phara. Wayne turns out to be correct in his distrust of Azura, but it's still not clear whether Brother Dusk is involved in some way. In our What We're Watching segment, Dave continues to love The Americans, and Wayne warns about the excessive violence in the compelling Netflix series Squid Game. In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands wonders whether the Dawn clone would have changed his approach once inside the palace, and in her Facebook post, Linda Bond suggests we may have been too harsh with our assessments of Gaal's behaviors.

This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the Brother Day's confrontation with Dusk regarding the latter's decision to nuke Thespis and Anacreon. As we await the fall of the Empire, Brother Dawn clearly has fallen out of sync with the other two Cleons. In our What We're Watching segment, Dave takes a page from Fred's viewing approach and is rewatching S3 of Lucifer, NBC's time travel series La Brea, Netflix's Squid Game, and has begun a Battlestar Galactica rewatch.

In looking back I want to say how much this has been a blast to do and I am just thrilled that there are people out there who find it worthwhile to listen. You encourage me to do my best to continue the story. Our next season will feature some amazing characters and some truly mind-blowing plot twists, but I'll get to that in a bit. First a quick recap of the story thus far.In our first episode, The Psychohistorians, young PhD student Gaal Dornick left his home planet of Synnax and traveled to the capital of the empire, Trantor. He discovered his boss, Hari Seldon, waiting for him in his hotel room and was told the empire was due to collapse imminently, then got arrested along with him and stood trial for disturbing the peace. Seldon tricked the High Commissioner Linge Chen into sending him, Dornick, and 100,000 of his followers to the edge of the galaxy to a lonely and primitive planet named Terminus, where they were to catalog all of the knowledge of the human race into a grand Encyclopedia Galactica (or so they thought).In The Encyclopedists, we saw the fledgling colony of Terminus face its first “Seldon crisis” when the belligerent nearby system of Anacreon broke away from the Empire and threatened the Foundation with imminent annexation. The clever young Mayor of Terminus City used the Foundation's technological advantage – chiefly the understanding of nuclear power – to convince Anacreon's powerful neighbors to join in an alliance against them. This was the first occasion in which Hari Seldon's recorded image appeared in The Vault, the specially designed chamber in which he would periodically provide updates on the Seldon Plan. To the horror of Lewis Pirenne and his Board of Trustees Seldon informed them that the ostensible reason for their project, the creation of the Encyclopedia, was a fraud. Their real purpose was simply to take over the galaxy.A generation later, in The Mayors we found Hardin firmly in power and facing an even more serious threat from Anacreon in the person of the wicked regent Wienis who intended to use his nephew Lepold's coronation to launch a powerful attack upon Terminus, but again Hardin had the political skills to rise to the occasion. He had turned the knowledge of sophisticated technology and especially of nuclear science to form a false religion, and with the help of Foundation High Priest Poly Verisof, turned the tables on Wienis and brought him to a humiliating and rather messy end.Later, we took a quick side trip with smooth-talking salesman Limmar Ponyets in The Traders on a high-stakes rescue mission to the Kingdom of Askone, where the ethically-challenged protagonist used sophisticated high tech extortion to free his comrade and get the superstitious Askonians hooked on Foundation gadgetry.Still later, in The Merchant Princes, Hober Mallow dueled on the home front with the powerful politician Jorrain Sutt and on the distant planet of Korell with the tired but still greedy Commdor Asper and his well-connected but difficult wife, the Commdora Licia. He used a similar technical trick to catch the spy Jaim Twer and his faux priest Jord Parma in an act designed to undermine Mallow's authority through character assassination. A side trip to visit an old man named Onum Barr on the unfortunate planet of Siwenna may have appeared almost incidental, but will have significant implications in our next chapter. Don't worry – I'll bring you up to speed when we get there.After all that whirlwind activity and so many strange names you might wonder what you really need to remember going forward. To be honest, it's not much, and I'll try to help with that too. For now, just keep a space for Hari Seldon, Salvor Hardin, and Hober Mallow in your memory banks. They will be referred to frequently as the legendary founding fathers of Foundation and as we march through the ages to come.While we get ready to start into the next great chapter of this epic in Season 2, the novel Foundation and Empire, I want to bring up something else that I haven't discussed much yet, and that is the new and ambitious TV series based on Foundation to begin streaming on AppleTV+ starting on September 24th of this year. Interviews with the showrunner indicate they intend an ambitious 80 episodes! A lot of commentary in the online community has sprung up around some significant departures from the original storyline evident in the pre-release trailers, including three generations of rulers on Trantor named Brothers Dawn, Day, and Dusk (no Cleons), and a much larger role for Gaal Dornick. The latter has been cast as a female person of color, as is Salvor Hardin, who also seems to be lugging around a large weapon quite out of character for the Hardin we've come to know and love. In my opinion, the gender swaps and greater diversity is welcome, while some of the changes in basic plot may be a bit harder to swallow. Then again, this is the year 2021, and if it wants to succeed in capturing the imagination of today's audience it probably needs to make some significant changes to grab the attention span of a far different audience than the one that was introduced to the original stories. I'm rooting for it to succeed and I hope it draws even more people to read the source material, and maybe even listen to this podcast!There's getting to be a lot of buzz about the show, and this is bringing a lot of Asimov fans out of the woodwork online. I've already mentioned the r/asimov subthread on Reddit and a couple of others are dedicated more directly to Foundation and the upcoming TV series and I'll link to these in the show notes. Another great place to stay caught up is my friend Luigi at his Youtube channel Foundation Era. He's put together a string of videos analyzing the tea leaves from the limited material Apple has produced, as well as one on the Asimov Future Timeline I mentioned in episode 6. Luigi was kind enough to give Seldon Crisis a plug on his most recent video, which resulted in an enormous spike in downloads for this podcast, so thank you very much Luigi!There's another new podcast that I just discovered I want to call out by the name of Star's End. The three co-hosts; Dan, Jon, and Joseph, are a joy to listen to as they talk about the latest news on the TV show, discuss Asimov trivia, and introduce listeners to the original story in a way that I find really compliments my approach on this podcast. It's like getting invited over to hang out with some Asimov geek friends just having a good time talking about their favorite topic. You can find it on all the major platforms like Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify and Anchor and they have a website at http://starsendpodcast.wordpress.com or you can find them at the twitter handle @StarsEndPodcast. Links in the show notes, of course.I expect more podcasts, youtube channels, and other platforms to spring up as the Apple show gets closer and really welcome the growth of this robust online community. The more the merrier!Some of you have asked how you can help to support my efforts to produce this podcast, so I've started a patreon page. For now it's going to be really simple because I just thought of it, like this minute, and there are a lot of ways I might end up using it. The link will be in the show notes and I'll provide more info when I develop it a bit more.So, what's coming up? Only one of the most amazing and stimulating novels I've ever had the joy of reading. Foundation and Empire is the middle novel of the original trilogy, and some say the best. There are two chapters which I'm going to break up into five episodes. First up is The General, Part one of two, the three episodes of The Mule. In the first episode we'll meet two descendants of characters from The Merchant Princes and a young general of the declining Empire determined to reverse their fortunes and stamp out the emerging and still tiny Foundation. The Mule will feature Asimov's first compelling female character in the epic as well as one of the most compelling anti-heroes in all of fiction - not just science fiction.I've got some subtle and not so subtle surprises coming in this season - besides the colossal ones Asimov will bring in his elegant story construction. Stay tuned for a fabulous season 2 beginning in only two weeks. I can hardly wait to bring it from my humble studio to your waiting ears. Stay on this channel, subscribe if you haven't yet, and you'll be hearing soon from a new season of Seldon Crisis.[Theme music]
In today's story we explore the interconnected stories of Anacreon the Greek Poet, Francis Scott Key, Robert Ripley, John Philip Sousa and 7 US Presidents. The Star Spangled Banner isn't just about a flag or the Battle of Fort McHenry. It involves slaves, Charles Schulz, Jack London, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and even Barry Goldwater.
It's the last episode of 2020, so what better way to wind it up than with some deep philosophical musings, a consideration about what Anglo-America might be and a splattering of beers from all over the world. We talk bitcoin, Brexit, UK/US relationships and even consider what life is like when we're all uploaded to the cloud.And of course, beer reviews from some of the best beer brewers in the world! Even one that gets a BB+ – close to our highest possible rating ever!
Sappho: The Translations (Reprise) The Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast - Episode 11 with Heather Rose Jones In this show we'll look at the legacy of Sappho from the Middle Ages up through the 19th century: the various images people had of her, how people used her as a symbol, the way those images affected how her poetry was translated into everyday languages, and how poets used her themes and imagery in their own work. In this episode we talk about: How much poetry did Sappho write, and how much survives? Why was it lost, and why were the bits we have preserved? What was the changing image of Sappho from the middle ages through the 19th century? How did people reconcile their admiration for Sappho's poetry and their disapproval of homosexuality?
