In March 2000, a 23-year-old from North Carolina left a note about Jack Kerouac, packed her Jeep, and drove west toward a mountain she'd only read about – and what searchers found in the woods nine days later still has no explanation.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/LeahRobertsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/y6mnafrdFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: If you have information regarding Leah Roberts's disappearance, contact the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office at 360-778-6600 or the Whatcom Communication Dispatch Center at 360-676-6711.

Heather has always loved out loud. She has always talked about her boys to anyone who will listen, shown pictures to strangers, shared memories on social media without a second thought. It never dawned on her not to. And when she lost her youngest son Owen, whom everyone called O, it never dawned on her to stop. O was funny, mischievous, and big-hearted in equal measure. The kind of boy who once spent $40 of his own money on meat sticks at thirteen years old just to hand them out to classmates and leave one on his teacher's desk because she was having a bad day. The kind of boy who left notes on his desk at home that said, you mean my heart to me. So when she lost him, she did not go quiet. She started collecting "O signs" almost immediately, writing every one of them down in a notebook because she was so afraid of missing a single one. She built the chaos garden she and O had planned together, grew hundreds of flowers, preserved every bloom, and turned them into art that now goes out into the world carrying a little bit of his love in each piece. She created a journal for others to record their own signs from the loved ones they have lost. She organized a second line, a Louisiana-style brass band parade through the streets of her town, on what would have been O's first birthday after his death, inviting everyone who had lost someone to suicide to come celebrate how their person lived, not how they died. She carries O's photo everywhere her family travels, because she promised him they would see the world together, and she intends to keep that promise. None of it was planned. None of it was strategic. It was just love, looking for somewhere to go, and finding it. Near the end of our conversation, Heather shares a poem she found on one of her hardest days, written by Sharon Marsh. She reads it at the second line every year. I think it is the most beautiful summary of everything she has done since losing O. I'll live for you. Your life was cut short, but there is still so much living for you to do. I will live for you. I will take you with me everywhere I go. Drink coffee in dimly lit cafes, travel to foreign places, put my toes in the sand, create memories. So that whenever I see you again, I can tell you all about it. And she will. She already is. At the end of this conversation, she shares one more story. A man she met in Antigua, who never knew O, sent her a message months later to say his daughter had been born. And then he said, "Don't worry, Heather. I'm going to teach her to love like O." A stranger who never met O. Teaching his newborn daughter to love like him. That is what grieving out loud does. It lets the people who loved your child keep loving them. And it lets the people who never knew them love them too.

“MK Confidential” starts on the corner of East 34th Street and East Roosevelt Avenue, on a drizzly evening in Tacoma, Washington. It's Saturday, February 16th, 2002. Lee Boyd Malvo is two days shy of turning seventeen. He's about to take a life for the first time, at the prompting of his surrogate father. He will struggle to scrub himself clean from the murder. Megyn Kelly charts Malvo's path from Jamaica to Antigua to the United States, and traces how a faraway father and abusive mother primed him to partner with John Allen Muhammad. As a child, Malvo was passed around from house to house, maintaining honor roll grades despite an unsteady home life. When Malvo's mother leaves for America — using papers forged by Muhammad — Malvo is utterly alone. Muhammad comes to his aid, and the two bond as adopted father and son. Muhammad clears the way for Malvo to come to the States. When Muhammad loses custody of his own children, Malvo goes to him. He does exactly what the soldier says, including learning to kill with precision. This is Episode 3 of the Beltway Snipers story.

Guatemala is the beating heart of the Maya world – a small, mountainous Central American country where volcanoes loom over colonial towns, jungle swallows ancient pyramids, and market colour spills into every corner.

What if the price you charge isn't just a number — it's a threshold? In this episode, Jess explores a concept that reshaped how she thinks about money in business: numbers as portals into different realities. Every price point you set is a ticket to a specific version of your life, your business, and your future.Jess unpacks why most people build their offer first and price it last — usually landing on whatever "everyone else" charges — and why that's backwards. Instead, she walks through why the number has to come first: decide the reality you want to live in, let that number reveal itself, and only then build the offer that lives inside it.Along the way: a story about a billionaire-feeling holiday in Antigua, a tangent on a Yoga Alliance controversy that reveals how entire industries police their own pricing ceilings, and why charging a number that scares you is often exactly the number that's doing its job — bringing your suppressed beliefs about worth and visibility to the surface so you can finally move through them.This one applies whether or not you're building a membership. If you've ever felt yourself capping your prices to stay comfortable, or stay "in belonging" with your industry's going rate — this episode is for you.In this episode:Why pricing is a spiritual initiation, not just a business decisionThe difference between choosing an offer first vs. choosing a number firstHow suppressed beliefs about worthiness only surface once you actually say the number out loudThe "energetic barrier" concept — why you can see other realities but can't access them without crossing the thresholdA real example: the Yoga Alliance pricing controversy and what it reveals about industry-wide scarcity agreementsHow The Vessel helps you identify which portal — which number — is actually yoursPlay with your own numbers and step into The Vessel here:

Miquita Oliver is a podcaster, TV presenter and all-round brilliant woman. She was just 16 when she burst onto our screens co-hosting Channel 4's cult music show Popworld alongside Simon Amstell. Twenty-five years later, she's still one of Britain's most distinctive broadcasters and interviewers. She co-created Miss Me?, with Lily Allen, and now co-hosts it with musician Jordan Stephens of Rizzle Kicks. You may also know Miquita from the acclaimed BBC series The Caribbean with Andi and Miquita, in which she and her mother, Andi Oliver, travelled to Antigua to reconnect with their family, heritage and identity. We talk about Miquita surviving the 2004 tsunami in Thailand, the shame she associates with going bankrupt, her struggle with alcoholism in her thirties, love, family, and why she still can't quite conquer her driving theory test. She even opens up about her hopes and fears around motherhood. This is an essential conversation for any one who survived the noughties diet culture or who has grappled with financial hardship. Frank, funny and unexpectedly moving: just like Miquita herself.

Espero que muy bien y, sobre todo, que estés disfrutando del verano. Para mí, una de las claves para estar bien en esta época del año es no pasar mucho calor, por eso solemos ir de vacaciones a Galicia, aunque este año no sé si vamos a poder hacerlo. Espero tener noticias muy pronto. Así que, en cuanto las tenga, las compartiré contigo. Mientras tanto, Luxemburgo también es un buen sitio para estar en verano, porque no hace demasiado calor. Y hablando del verano, una de las cosas que suelo hacer en vacaciones es leer mucho más que durante el resto del año. Tengo más tiempo libre y me encanta disfrutar de un buen libro. En Galicia, por ejemplo, tenemos una biblioteca pública en el mismo pueblo al que vamos, de modo que es muy sencillo tener acceso gratuito a buenos libros. La otra opción es comprarlos, aunque debo reconocer que últimamente solo compro libros para regalar, no para mí, porque llegó un momento en el que no tenía sitio para colocarlos en casa. De hecho, casi todos están en el trastero. Como te puedes imaginar, esta pequeña introducción está relacionada con el tema de la noticia de hoy, que trata sobre la librería más antigua de España. Pero antes de entrar en la noticia, merece la pena entender un poco el contexto, porque hablar de una librería también es hablar de la lectura y de los hábitos culturales del país. En España, leer es una actividad bastante común, aunque, como en muchos otros países, no todo el mundo lo hace con la misma frecuencia. De hecho, los datos más recientes nos dicen algo interesante: alrededor del 70% de la población lee libros, al menos de vez en cuando. Es una cifra bastante alta y, además, lleva años creciendo poco a poco. Si miramos más en detalle, vemos algo todavía más curioso: más del 65% de los españoles leen en su tiempo libre, es decir, por placer, no por obligación. Esto quiere decir que la lectura se ha consolidado como una forma de ocio, igual que ver series o escuchar música. Ahora bien, no todo son buenas noticias. A pesar de estos datos positivos, todavía hay una parte importante de la población que no lee casi nunca. Se calcula que alrededor de un tercio de los españoles no tiene el hábito de leer. Y cuando se les pregunta por qué, la respuesta más habitual es muy sencilla: falta de tiempo. También hay diferencias según el perfil de la persona. Por ejemplo, los jóvenes leen más de lo que mucha gente piensa, con porcentajes superiores al 70%, y las mujeres suelen leer más que los hombres. Es decir, la idea de que “la gente joven no lee” no es del todo cierta. En cuanto al formato, aunque han crecido los libros digitales, el libro en papel sigue siendo el preferido en España. A muchas personas les gusta la experiencia de tener el libro en las manos, pasar las páginas, o incluso tenerlo en casa después de leerlo. Y aquí entran en juego las librerías. En España es muy común comprar libros en librerías físicas, tanto grandes cadenas como pequeños negocios de barrio. Estas librerías tienen un valor especial, porque no son solo tiendas: muchas veces son espacios culturales, donde se organizan presentaciones, encuentros con autores o actividades. Al mismo tiempo, cada vez más gente compra libros por internet, sobre todo por comodidad. Es una tendencia que no deja de crecer, aunque la librería tradicional sigue teniendo mucho peso. Y luego están las bibliotecas públicas, que también forman parte de la vida cotidiana. Son espacios gratuitos donde puedes coger libros prestados durante un tiempo. Y no solo eso: también sirven para estudiar, para trabajar o simplemente para leer en silencio. En resumen, en España conviven varias formas de acceder a la lectura: comprar libros, leer en digital o utilizar bibliotecas. Y todas ellas reflejan algo importante: que, con sus diferencias, la lectura sigue teniendo un papel relevante en la sociedad. Con esta idea en mente, ahora sí, vamos a escuchar la noticia… porque no habla solo de una librería, sino del valor que todavía tienen los libros y los espacios donde se mantienen vivos. “Hijos de Santiago Rodríguez ha recaudado los 60.000 euros necesarios para evitar el cierre de la librería más antigua de España en Burgos. Luján Ortihuela. Sí, buenas tardes. Solo han necesitado 13 días para recaudar esa cantidad de dinero que supone un balón de oxígeno para esta librería burgalesa y que ha permitido saldar las deudas urgentes por las que se temía su cierre inmediato. Por tanto, y de momento, Hijos de Santiago Rodríguez continuará con sus puertas abiertas, eso sí, ahora y después de coger aire, toca pensar cómo retomar el negocio, aunque lo más seguro es que se traspase y deje de pertenecer a la familia que ya iba por la sexta generación. Recordamos que esta librería, con 176 años de historia, entró en preconcurso de acreedores y comenzó una campaña de recogida de fondos en los que se han volcado escritores, libreros, críticos literarios y, por supuesto, la ciudadanía burgalesa en general.” 176 años de historia. Me parece increíble que haya sobrevivido durante tanto tiempo, ¿no te parece? Bueno, vamos con las palabras y expresiones que pueden resultar más complicadas. Recaudar: reunir o conseguir dinero, normalmente para una causa, un proyecto o una necesidad concreta. Han recaudado dinero para ayudar a las familias afectadas por el incendio. El colegio organizó un evento para recaudar fondos para el viaje de fin de curso. Balón de oxígeno: es una ayuda importante en un momento difícil. Es algo que te da alivio cuando la situación es complicada. Ese préstamo fue un balón de oxígeno para la empresa. La ayuda económica ha sido un balón de oxígeno para muchas familias. Saldar una deuda: significa pagar completamente lo que debes. Tuvo que vender su coche para saldar la deuda con el banco. Después de varios años, por fin saldó todas sus deudas. Inmediato: Algo inmediato es algo que ocurre o sucede enseguida, sin esperar. Necesitamos una solución inmediata al problema. El cambio fue inmediato y muy evidente. Tener las puertas abiertas: Esta expresión significa seguir funcionando o estar disponible. El restaurante sigue con las puertas abiertas después de tantos años. Aunque haya dificultades, el negocio quiere mantener sus puertas abiertas. Coger aire: significa descansar un poco o tener un momento para recuperarse antes de continuar. Necesito coger aire antes de seguir trabajando. Después del examen, por fin pudo coger aire y relajarse. Retomar: significa volver a hacer algo que habías dejado. Después de las vacaciones, retomó sus clases de español. Tuvo que retomar el proyecto después de varios meses. Traspasar: cuando hablamos de un negocio significa venderlo o dejarlo a otra persona para que lo continúe. Decidieron traspasar el bar porque querían cambiar de vida. Está buscando a alguien para traspasar su tienda. Preconcurso de acreedores: es una situación legal en la que una empresa reconoce que tiene problemas económicos y busca una solución antes de no poder pagar sus deudas. La empresa entró en preconcurso de acreedores por sus problemas financieros. Intentaron evitar la quiebra solicitando el preconcurso de acreedores. Recogida de fondos: es una campaña para conseguir dinero, normalmente para ayudar a alguien o a una causa. Organizaron una recogida de fondos para el hospital. La asociación lanzó una recogida de fondos en internet. Volcarse: significa implicarse mucho en algo, participar con mucho esfuerzo o dedicación. La comunidad se volcó en ayudar a los vecinos. Se volcó completamente en el proyecto hasta terminarlo. “Hijos de Santiago Rodríguez ha recaudado los 60.000 euros necesarios para evitar el cierre de la librería más antigua de España en Burgos. Luján Ortihuela. Sí, buenas tardes. Solo han necesitado 13 días para recaudar esa cantidad de dinero que supone un balón de oxígeno para esta librería burgalesa y que ha permitido saldar las deudas urgentes por las que se temía su cierre inmediato. Por tanto, y de momento, Hijos de Santiago Rodríguez continuará con sus puertas abiertas, eso sí, ahora y después de coger aire, toca pensar cómo retomar el negocio, aunque lo más seguro es que se traspase y deje de pertenecer a la familia que ya iba por la sexta generación. Recordamos que esta librería, con 176 años de historia, entró en preconcurso de acreedores y comenzó una campaña de recogida de fondos en los que se han volcado escritores, libreros, críticos literarios y, por supuesto, la ciudadanía burgalesa en general.” Antes no lo he dicho, pero burgalés o burgalesa, en femenino, es el gentilicio de Burgos. Un hombre nacido en Burgos es un burgalés. Y una mujer, una burgalesa. Venga, vamos con mi versión de la noticia, utilizando sinónimos para que puedas ampliar tu vocabulario. La librería Hijos de Santiago Rodríguez, situada en Burgos, ha conseguido reunir los 60.000 euros que necesitaba para no cerrar sus puertas. Según explica la periodista, han tardado solo 13 días en conseguir ese dinero, una ayuda muy importante que ha servido para aliviar la situación económica del negocio y hacer frente a las deudas más urgentes, que ponían en riesgo su continuidad. Gracias a esta iniciativa, y al menos por ahora, la librería va a seguir funcionando. Sin embargo, esta solución es temporal. Después de este respiro, ahora toca pensar en cómo dar un nuevo impulso al negocio. Todo apunta a que podría cambiar de manos y dejar de estar gestionada por la familia, que lleva varias generaciones al frente. Conviene recordar que este establecimiento, con más de 170 años de historia, había iniciado un proceso legal debido a sus problemas financieros. A raíz de esta situación, se puso en marcha una campaña solidaria para conseguir dinero. En esa campaña participaron muchas personas del mundo del libro, como autores, libreros o especialistas en literatura. Pero, sobre todo, destacó la implicación de los propios ciudadanos de Burgos, que se movilizaron para apoyar a esta librería histórica. Perfecto. Escuchamos la noticia por última vez para que puedas comprobar que la entiendes al cien por cien, y te cuento más cosas interesantes. “Hijos de Santiago Rodríguez ha recaudado los 60.000 euros necesarios para evitar el cierre de la librería más antigua de España en Burgos. Luján Ortihuela. Sí, buenas tardes.

Como hemos visto, en España alrededor del 70% de la población lee libros, y más del 65% lo hace en su tiempo libre. Es un dato bastante positivo, sobre todo si tenemos en cuenta que ha ido mejorando en los últimos años. Sin embargo, si lo comparamos con algunos países del norte de Europa, como Suecia, Finlandia o Alemania, vemos que allí la lectura suele estar todavía más extendida. En esos países, leer forma parte de la vida cotidiana desde la infancia, y es muy habitual que los índices de lectura sean más altos, especialmente entre adultos. Por ejemplo, en muchos países del norte es muy común que la gente vaya regularmente a bibliotecas, que son espacios muy activos y muy utilizados. En España también existen buenas bibliotecas, pero en términos generales no tienen el mismo nivel de uso que en esos países. Si bajamos un poco y miramos países más cercanos culturalmente, como Italia o Portugal, la situación es más parecida a la española. Allí también ha crecido la lectura en los últimos años, pero igualmente hay una parte importante de la población que no tiene el hábito de leer con frecuencia. Y luego hay otro punto interesante: los jóvenes. Durante mucho tiempo se decía que los jóvenes ya no leen, pero los datos actuales lo desmienten. En España, por ejemplo, más del 75% de los jóvenes lee en su tiempo libre. Y esto es algo que también se observa en otros países europeos: los jóvenes sí leen, pero a veces lo hacen de otra manera, combinando libros con contenido digital. Otra diferencia importante es el tipo de lectura. En países como Alemania o Francia, hay una tradición muy fuerte de lectura de ensayo o de libros más técnicos. En España, en cambio, la novela y los libros de entretenimiento siguen teniendo mucho peso. Es decir, se lee mucho… pero sobre todo por placer. Y en cuanto a la compra, pasa algo parecido. En muchos países europeos, especialmente en el norte, las bibliotecas tienen un papel todavía más importante. En España, aunque se usan, sigue siendo bastante habitual comprar libros en librerías. En resumen, España no es un país donde no se lea, como a veces se dice. Al contrario, los datos muestran una tendencia positiva. Pero sí es verdad que todavía queda camino por recorrer si lo comparamos con los países europeos con mayor tradición lectora. Y por eso, cuando escuchamos una noticia como la de hoy, entendemos mejor su importancia. Porque no se trata solo de una librería concreta, sino de algo más amplio: del valor que tiene la lectura… y de los lugares que la hacen posible.

Jeffrey Epstein understood that respectability could be manufactured, and he invested heavily in creating that appearance through charitable organizations, philanthropic donations, and nonprofit entities. By attaching his name to scientific research, education initiatives, and high-profile charitable causes, he cultivated relationships with academics, business leaders, politicians, and influential public figures who might otherwise have been reluctant to associate with him. Those philanthropic efforts helped project the image of a wealthy financier and benefactor, allowing him to gain access to elite social circles while obscuring the serious allegations that surrounded him. Critics have long argued that these charitable activities functioned not only as public relations tools but also as mechanisms for building influence, credibility, and networks of powerful allies.Epstein also sought legitimacy through financial ventures, including the creation of his own financial institution, the Southern Country International Bank in Antigua. The bank became another pillar of the carefully constructed image that Epstein presented to the world, giving the impression of a sophisticated international financier while providing financial services connected to his broader business empire. Authorities later scrutinized aspects of the bank's operations as part of wider investigations into Epstein's finances, with questions raised about its compliance practices and the movement of funds through his network. Taken together, his charitable organizations and banking interests helped create a veneer of legitimacy that masked the true nature of his activities and enabled him to maintain relationships with influential individuals for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Today with Jim Davis-Johnson: Jim Davis-Johnson: Build a Luxury Window Treatment Business Without a Workroom Today with Jim Davis-Johnson of Jim Davis Designs, we get into what it takes to build and run a high-end luxury window treatment business. Jim shares how he grew his company from working in his mother's South Georgia business since seventh grade to running a multimillion-dollar brand serving high-end designers and discerning clients from Atlanta to the Caribbean, all without his own workroom. We talk about the non-negotiables of serving luxury clients: how to present yourself and your brand, how to build vendor relationships that maintain impeccable quality at scale, and how to price properly so you can say yes to every client request without resentment or burnout. Jim gets candid about the hard lessons he's learned along the way and shares why managing your own expectations is the key to running a profitable, sustainable business. If you've been wondering how to elevate your business, attract higher-caliber clients, or work successfully with production workrooms while maintaining custom-level quality, this conversation will give you a clear roadmap. More About Jim Davis-Johnson: Jim Davis-Johnson is the Principal Designer and Aesthetic Artist behind Jim Davis Designs, a luxury window-treatment and soft-goods atelier headquartered in Midtown Atlanta. Since founding the company in 2015, Jim has grown his firm from a one-man operation into a multimillion-dollar brand known for its bespoke craftsmanship, meticulous detail, and elevated client experience. His portfolio spans high-end residential, boutique hospitality, and commercial projects across the U.S., the Caribbean, and beyond, including ongoing work in Antigua and luxury communities throughout the Southeast. Jim brings a rare blend of artistic intuition, technical expertise, and personal depth to his work. Raised in South Georgia in a family dynamic that shaped both his resilience and his drive, Jim built his company from the ground up with no shortcuts, relying on determination, curiosity, and a vision for beauty that felt both healing and purposeful. His upbringing gave him an extraordinary sensitivity to how spaces make people feel, something that now guides every design decision he makes. Jim's spiritual growth, including transformative experiences with meditation and therapy, has influenced his belief that design is far more than aesthetics. For him, window treatments are an expression of intention: they soften emotions, shift energy, and elevate the way people engage with their homes. He approaches each project as an opportunity to bring clarity, harmony, and beauty into a client's life, grounding his creative process in mindfulness and the power of meaningful service. Now, since April 2025, based in a street-front Midtown Atlanta showroom with over 22,000 cars passing by daily, Jim leads a team alongside his husband and lead installer, Rickey Davis-Johnson. Together, they provide full-service fabrication, project management, and installation, with a reputation for delivering flawless results and building lasting relationships with designers, architects, builders, and homeowners. Jim's work is increasingly in demand, from Florida's coveted 30A corridor to mountain homes in North Georgia, Kentucky horse country, international island estates, and major metropolitan projects. His recent launch of a national quick-ship drapery program and growing e-commerce platform has positioned Jim Davis Designs as a leader not only in custom luxury fabrication, but also in accessible, ready-to-ship window fashions for design-forward clients nationwide. With a philosophy rooted in intention, authenticity, and the belief that design can be both luxurious and deeply meaningful, Jim continues to expand his influence as a designer, entrepreneur, and storyteller. His journey, from overcoming adversity to building a brand grounded in service, craftsmanship, and soul, reflects the heart of his work and the spirit he brings to every project.

In this episode, we discuss the rum industry in connection with grievances #16 and #17 in the Declaration of Independence: "For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world" "For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent" Topics include the following: -an explanation of rum production, from sugarcane to the finished product -the origins of sugarcane and rum production in Barbados in the early 1600s -the development of distilleries in the Colonies, particularly Massachusetts, in the late 1600s -rum consumption in the Colonies by people in cities, slave traders, fishermen, and native Americans -the use of rum as a form of payment in the triangular slave trade -the imperial mercantilist competition between British rum and French brandy -the moral and religious history of rum and alcohol consumption -the Colonial activist movements that aimed to create political change, for example, by refusing to consume products made by enslaved people or by boycotting tea -the Molasses Act of 1733 and the Sugar Act of 1763 -the rise of rum smuggling and the association between rum and piracy -the deleted passage in the Declaration condemning slavery and its connection to the rum industry -the state of the rum industry, slavery, and the abolition movement after the formation of the United States -the development of the maple syrup industry as a moral alternative to the sugar and rum industry, which was driven by the immoral institution of slavery Prof. Smith's book can be found here: [The Invention of Rum: Creating the Quintessential Atlantic Commodity](https://www.pennpress.org/9781512828184/the-invention-of-rum/) His article in Commonplace can be found here: [Where's the Pirate?](https://commonplace.online/article/wheres-the-pirate/) The cover image features a sugarcane plantation with a mill and enslaved people in Antigua.

Duran Duran's eponymous debut not only established their sound with funky bass and new wave synths but coincided with the launch of new US cable station, MTV. With their danceable beats, the boys stylish brand of new wave was perfect fot the 80s and perfect for MTV. It introduced a whole new generation of American music fans into Anglophiles including your hosts The Wolf & Action Jackson. We, like all of the MTV Generation, were not only grooving to John Taylor's funky bass but were fascinated by their fashion, haircuts and models that always seemed to find them. In the UK, they got on the charts and even went Top 10 in Australia with Planet Earth in the spring of 1981. But it was MTV that launched them to superstardom in the US. Simon LeBon's vocals complemented the textures coming from Nick Rhodes synths and Andy Taylor's guitar but his presence in the videos gave them a wider audience. The videos shot in Antigua for the Rio album are MTV greats but the macabre Night Boat was also filmed there and is creepier than Anyone Out There or Careless Memories. The Girls On Film video was censored in parts of the US and a racier edition could be found on Showtime, much to the delight of two young suburbanites. To give the US market more material in 1983 ahead of the Seven and the Ragged Tiger album which would come out in the fall, the debut was rereleased with a slightly different order and the new single Is There Something I Should Know? It went to #1 in the UK and went into heavy rotation on MTV, helping to drive the album platinum. We recall the first time seeing them on MTV, review the entire 1983 US version (with plenty of time for all the songs surrounding the debut) and rediscover some old faves.

The thirteen colonies that became the United States were just half of the British colonies that existed in the 18th century. The empire stretched from New England, south to Georgia and Florida and the islands of the West Indies, east to India, Scotland, and Ireland, and south again to British forts on the West coast of Africa. Because of this, the revolution of 1776 wasn’t isolated to the North American eastern seaboard. It was a world-historical crisis that swept up American Indian nations, Caribbean islands, West African forts, Indian cities, Scottish drawing rooms, German principalities, Cuban harbors, Chinese trading houses, and a fledgling colony in Sierra Leone. The result is a Revolution that was on the one hand a political struggle for the 13 colonies, but it was also a genuinely global catastrophe in which Indigenous nations, enslaved Africans, German soldiers, French philosophes, Caribbean planters, Indian merchants, and Spanish generals all fought for their own competing visions of what "freedom" actually meant. Today’s guest is Sarah Pearsall, author of Freedom Round the Globe. We see how the fight for liberty went far outside the borders of the American colonies. When the British Parliament imposed the Stamp Act in 1765, the protests and violent crowd actions that erupted were not confined to Boston or Virginia, they broke out with equal fury in St. Kitts, Nevis, Antigua, and other Caribbean colonies. But they chose to stay loyal because they feared slave uprisings more than they resented Parliament. The French alliance that saved American independence at Yorktown drove France itself toward bankruptcy and revolution. And there were at least two would-be fourteenth colonies (British Florida and Quebec) courted by Americans but believed their fortunes were better served in other places than the Revolution. The Revolution was not a contained colonial rebellion. It was a world war, and the Treaty of Paris in 1783 settled the claims of dozens of nations, most of whom had nothing to do with the thirteen colonies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
