The Boston Public Library's "Lost" Art: We dive into the bizarre case of two priceless artworks—an Albrecht Dürer engraving and a Rembrandt van Rijn etching—that went missing from one of the country's most prestigious libraries. The disappearance caused a media uproar and led to the resignation of the library's president . But in a twist, the art was never stolen; it was just in the wrong spot for an entire year.  The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: We explore the story of John Charles Gilkey, a man driven by intellectual vanity who used stolen credit card numbers to amass a collection of rare books worth over $200,000. Gilkey wasn't in it for the money; he simply wanted to appear to be a sophisticated intellectual . His obsessive "bibliokleptomania" forced the rare book community to tighten security and share information on thefts.  The Notorious Map Thief: Next, we cover Edward Forbes Smiley III, a charming and respected rare map dealer whose financial troubles led him to a life of crime. Using an X-Acto blade, he would carefully slice rare maps out of centuries-old atlases from institutions like Yale and Harvard. We reveal how a single misplaced blade led to his downfall, exposing his theft of nearly 100 maps .

There is no shortage of beauty in Maine – from the mountains and shore, to historic buildings and lighthouses, to all the many vibrant and ever-evolving types of art that are made here. Reflecting on how to think about the value of this kind of richness, and who has access to it and how, can lead to profound and important questions. We'll think about these huge ideas in the context of two very unusual and extremely unexpected stories. The first is a monster art heist that occurred in downtown Portland, and the second is a tale of a bird from the Amazon than inexplicably took up a perch in Maine one November.

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, New York Times bestselling author Ralph Pezzullo stops by to talk with Adam about the differences in how men and women approach work, and how radical gender ideology has reshaped society in a surprisingly short time. Adam shares his opinion on female aggression, and Ralph explains what led him to write his new book, The Great Chinese Art Heist. The conversation shifts to election integrity, foreign influence, and the dangers of electronic voting machines—prompting Adam to recount his own experience trying to vote in California. They also delve into how foreign adversaries seek to undermine the U.S. and how mainstream media selectively reports stories to push a narrative.In the news, Mike Dawson joins Adam to break down some headlines: Sean “Diddy” Combs is found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering but convicted on lesser charges; Lia Thomas is stripped of swimming titles at UPenn after administrative pressure; and Los Angeles hotel owners raise the alarm over a looming $30 minimum wage that could shutter businesses citywide. Plus, a harrowing ocean rescue goes viral after a dad jumps from a Disney cruise ship to save his daughter.Later, journalist and author Alex Thompson calls in to discuss his new book, Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, co-written with Jake Tapper. Adam and Alex examine how the media downplayed Biden's cognitive decline, draw parallels to the media's handling of COVID, and revisit the Hunter Biden laptop controversy. They wrap up with a big question: What, if anything, can the media do to win back the public's trust?Get it on.FOR MORE WITH RALPH PEZZULLO:BOOK: The Great Chinese Art Heist: Imperialism, Organized Crime,and the Looting of China's TreasuresBOOK: Stolen Election: The Plot to Destroy DemocracyPODCAST: Heroes Behind HeadlinesINSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @ Ralph PezzulloFOR MORE WITH MIKE DAWSON: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @dawsangelesFOR MORE WITH ALEX THOMPSON:BOOK: Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His DisastrousChoice to Run AgainINSTAGRAM: @ alxthompTWITTER: @ AlexThompThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineHomes.comoreillyauto.com/ADAMPluto.tvSHOPIFY.COM/carollaLIVE SHOWS: July 10 - Irvine, CA (Live Podcast)July 11-12 - Covina, CA (4 Shows)July 16 - Rosemont, ILJuly 17 - Plymouth, WISee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Museum of the Dogs has been robbed! Eight precious artworks are missing and the museum's curator, Elliot, needs Dexter's help to get them back.

When several men dressed as cops entered the Isabella Gardner Museum in March of 1990, the nighttime security detail didn't think much of it -- until one of the "officers" handcuffed the guards' wrists and announced, "This is a robbery." Thirty-four years later, theories abound about who was behind the largest -- and most mystifying -- art heist in American history. "Crimes of the Centuries" is a podcast from Grab Bag Collab exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.

In 1990, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston was the site of a major art heist, where two thieves disguised as police officers gained entry and stole 13 pieces of art valued at around $500 million. Among the stolen works was "The Concert" by Vermeer, one of only 34 known paintings by the artist. Despite extensive investigations and multiple theories, the stolen artworks, including "The Concert," remain missing to this day. The heist is considered one of the largest and most infamous art thefts in history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sarah had an unusual live comedy experience at the Demetri Martin special taping, and it took her back to her Real World days. She claims she did badly in her hip hop dance class despite being in the "top 25% of dancers." We learn about Sarah's traumatic and morbid Coachella experience, and we can't believe she's never shared this story before. We are fuming about the men who thought they should destroy a national monument by pushing rocks that are millions of years old off a cliff. A company is marketing weight loss drugs to men, and the difference between the ways they market to women are fascinating. Sarah tells us how someone stole rare bird feathers from a natural history museum to make fancy fly fishing flies, and it is one of the biggest "heists" in history. But the real take away from this episode is that Susie should probably not have wine during recordings because she cannot (!) stop laughing.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSusie on X: https://www.x.com/susie_meisterSarah on X: https://www.x.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get 20% off your first order when you go to https://www.liquid-iv.com and use code CANDY at checkout!To get Naked Wines' 6 bottle for $39.99 offer, head to https://nakedwines.com/BRAINCANDY and use code BRAINCANDY for both the code AND password!Get 20% OFF @honeylove by going to https://honeylove.com/BRAINCANDY! #honeylovepodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
