This playlist is 87% vinyl friendly. Impressive. Döhmann Helix One MK III Turntable with Vacuum Hold-Down Previewing at The 2026 AXPONA Show, I’m not sure whether the $150,000 price tag included the Wilson Benesch Graviton Ti arm, Tessellate Diamond cartridge, Supatrac Nighthawk 12** arm with DS Audio Grandmaster EX cartridge, analog front end feeding the ARC Ref 10 phono (or DS Audio TB-100 tube equalizer), the new ARC Ref 20 preamp, ARC Ref 330 mono amps, Wilson Audio XVX loudspeakers, cables from Transparent and the Olympus Ultra racks from Critical Mass Systems… or not. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. Lyric of Playlist 152 Sad Alex! 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – The Village (Kilkenny Rose Hill Hotel, 24.4.83) – Power Corruption and Lies, Definitive Edition – Warner Music – 2020 It gets off to a slightly shaky start at what was a legendary night in early years New Order history, with Barney and Hooky acting as a modern day comedy double act for the evening. The onstage antics were definitely inspired by seeing the hotel’s flyer in the afternoon… and I don’t remember Liam turning up. Me on photos duty, none of which I would have remembered until Steve Morris sent me photos I’d taken this night… with my writing on the back… followed by the above Movement Definitive Edition then including the video. I remember the afternoon soundcheck chat and Ozzy leaving the mixing desk mid gig and standing next to me but the things you forget… 05.03 PAUL HAIG – Trip Out The Rider – 7″ – Impotent Fury – 2010 ‘Packaged in a fancy pants paper cut sleeve that is hand screen-printed, foil embossed and limited to 500 copies. Rumoured to be the first of six vinyl releases… ‘ – Discogs His albums surface only very occasionally these days and any teaser singles even less so. This 7″ – driving with the zest of his early years – appears to have been the most recent but he’s a ‘signature’ voice we should hear more of. 07.41 LINES OF SILENCE – Lines In Opposition (Radio Edit) – Lines In Opposition, LP – Sprechen – 2026 These sleeves aren’t getting any easier to look at. An experimental krautrock band (Can? Neu?… ) out of Todmorden, UK – ‘a hotbed of UFO activity and home to the UK’s highest ever beach‘ – and I slightly cheated the vinyl thing here, as the Radio Edit is only downloadable, with the full version on the just released vinyl album. Should have gone with the latter. 11.12 SILICON VALLEY – X-Cell – Cold Waves Of Color Volume 3, v/artists LP – Color Disc – 2016 Whoever they were/are, they seem to have only released six singular tracks over a period of forty two years(!) * and on Color Disc label, v/artist albums only. A side hustle, the SV releases are not. * Makes Got-Ta-Scatta look prolific. 15.09 CLOCK DVA – 4 Hours (7″ Version) – 7″ – Fetish – 1981 Adi Newton is a voice that sits you up but they’d had a bucket load of self and semi released material before I tuned in with the Thirst album that includes this their debut 7″. 18.59 THE EVENT GROUP – Approach Work (Pt B) – Approach Work, self released, cassette only – ? – 1983 For any kids picking up on this, the voice you hear here is of England cricketing legend of yesteryear, Freddie Truman, also featured on the main Approach Work track already playlisted on 41 Rooms and the cassette’s cover, obviously, where he nearly looks like he’s got his ever present pipe on the go. And as for the church bells on the track… maybe adding to the image of a village green setting? Search out the band’s Feb ’82 Riverside TV appearance at some point. An entertaining watch at the time and another release for me to upload (the images anyway) to Discogs at some point, maybe. 25.11 UT – Evangelist – Split 7″ – Blast First – 1989 Yep, also the lead track from the 1987 album, In Gut’s House but I’ve gone for the, split with Dinosaur Jr., 7″ and as mentioned before here at 41 Rooms, a band I’ve grown to like more now than I maybe did back then. Cheers for the 41 Rooms iD snippet, Nina! Supporting The Fall, Bedford Boys Club, 1.10.83 Photo credit: Dec Hickey 27.57 YOUNG MARBLE GIANTS – Include Me Out – Colossal Youth, LP – Rough Trade – 1980 In YMG world this is them nearly rocking out! 29.50 KAREN MARKS – Cold Café – 7″ – Astor – 1980 Out of Australia and her only release at the time but the price tag the single has acquired through the years since (one of a few on this show), brought about a 2019 EP of tracks also recorded back in the day. Definitely an ‘indie’ sound. 32.42 DEENA WEBSTER – Scarborough Fair – 7″ – Parlophone – 1968 A folk standard I seem to remember hearing fairly regularly when I was young, so in one guise or another it must have cropped up on the radio and TV, though I never had the urge to buy it until I heard Deena’s version in more recent years and though she maintained the tempo of the song’s more traditional singers it’s everything backing her wasting no time in getting ‘busy’ that helps this version get my vote. ‘Bustling folk’, so let’s hear it for Deena and her arranger… “I chose none of the singles (from the album Is Tuesdays Child) apart from Scarborough Fair.” The track was one of the first arrangements for another artist by Barbara Moore. She was best known for her work as a singer with The Ladybirds and, when she arrived at the studio, many of the musicians thought that she'd come to help with backing vocals. She remembers that when she got onto the rostrum to conduct,the baton “it fell out of my sweaty little palm and ended up on the bass drum – that relaxed the whole atmosphere”. At the end of the session, Moore received a standing ovation from the 60 string andhorn players present. – Record Collector/Ian Shirley, #424, Jan 2014 edit 35.38 AL STEWART – Turn Into Earth – 7″ b-side – Decca – 1966 The flip may from Stewart’s debut release and his vocal ‘swagger’ makes this a rarity, in that it’s the only time I can think of where I’ve preferred a Yardbirds song performed by others… not that there are many of those. 38.29 MASSIVE ATTACK – Angel (Live) – Stream only – 2006 Performed as part of UK Channel 4’s first season of Live from Abbey Road series, with the Bristol band and Horace Andy managing to give the track even more gravitas and tension than on the its studio recording. No small feat. 43.15 CALLERS – Bloodless Ties – Life Of Love, LP – Western Vinyl – 2010 Sara Lucas’ vocal is just sublime, even if that bass guitar keeps hitting a note that I DO NOT LIKE. 47.39 PLATON DAVYDOV (feat OLEG KIRILKOV) – Sadness * – Stream only? – 2019 Violins… 49.02 MARTYN BATES – I’ll Wrap Your Hopes – Letters To A Scattered Family, LP – Integrity – 1990 Poetry, with a rippling outro. 53.01 FINK – Memorise Your Senses – The City Is Coming To Erase It All, LP – R’COUP’D – 2026 It took this his ninth album for me to have even heard of him, so I might have to rewind on him. 56.41 BÔA – Duvet – 7″ – Cinema-Kan – 2018 Or bôa… and on listening to the 1998 debut album, The Race Of A Thousand Camels, that first included this song, a band even at that point sounding like they might have been fighting to be two bands? I’d never heard of them until this track recently bumped into me but you then do a bit of a dig and Duvet has 43million Youtube hits… so you have to do a bigger dig. Here they sound not unlike The Sundays but that bigger dig explains some of the above. 01.00.00 RENAISSANCE – Back Home Once Again – 7″ – Warner Brothers – 1977 And what were the chances? Looking for something to follow Boa’s Duvet I decided on this 1977 single from Renaissance, a ‘prog folk’ band who for a couple of years in the late ’70s I had a real liking for. It turns out that Bôa’s drummer, Lee Sullivan is the son of Renaissance’s former drummer, Terry Sullivan. Who’d have thunk, eh? 01.03.03 HANNE HUKKELBERG – Do As I Do – Little Things, LP – Leaf – 2005 Promo’d (albeit as a CD only) as the single off the album at the time, so this was the ‘teaser’ – and it’s easy to see why. Cute! 01.06.39 08/15 – 1000 Gelbe Tennisbälle – 7″ – Sterbt Alle – 2025 If you had thoughts of releasing music on the subject of 1000 yellow tennis balls then someone’s beaten you to it. A 300 run re-release of their 1981 and only single. 01.11.25 COLDCUT – Beats + Pieces (Mo’ Bass Remix) – 12″ – Ahead Of Our Time – 1987 With a nod to Steinski, they were ahead of most of the others. 01.17.15 RAE & CHRISTIAN – Check The Technique (feat Tony D, Jazzy Jeff and Agent 86) (edit) – Mercury Rising, 2LP – LateNightTales – 2013 Minus the wonderful Veba’s vocals but with Mark Rae’s hip hop credentials they still produce. 01.21.10 THE JUJU ORCHESTRA – What Is Hip (Mo’ Horizons Hipstyle) – 12″ – Remixes – Agogo Records – 2006 TC (RIP) spending some time in the studio with the youngsters. 01.26.55 SAD ALEX – Ice Ice Baby (But You Have Anxiety) – Stream only – 2025 The only way Vanilla Ice was going to get on 41 Rooms was via som break borrowing… and songwriter Alex Saad has done just that. 01.28.59 SIMPLE MINDS – King Is White And In The Crowd – 12″ b-side – Virgin – 1982 Thankfully still here holding on to their futurist feel, even if the sound is housed in a contender for Worst Record Sleeve of all time. So, you’re only get the reverse… and that’s bad enough. 01.34.27 WAMDUE PROJECT – King Of My Castle (Original Version) * – 12″ – Eruption – 1998 More kings! Unusual for a dance track with nothing special in the vocals department to chart mainstream but this did just that. Maybe some intrigue and charm in the ‘Must be the reason why I’m king of my castle‘ lyric as it chugs along? Sometimes there’s just no knowing… 01.39.04 JOHNNY MAESTRO & THE CRESTS – I’m Stepping Out Of The Picture – 7″ – Scepter Records – 1965 If there’s a world in music I won’t stop finding ‘new’ gems it’s the rare/northern etc soul scene. I heard this gritty and restrained-in-equal-measures brassy belter for the first time only recently, via Beth Arzy (Jetstream Pony and others) capturing herself in front of a DJ spinning this tune. Re-released a couple of times in the intervening years, I won’t though be getting an original copy any time soon, as that could be anywhere between $800 and for a promo copy, $1700! 01.41.17 JIMMY RUFFIN – It’s Wonderful (To Be Loved By You) – 7″ – Tamla Motown – 1970 Motown still in their prime in these years and come the mid-late 70s I had the grand notion of collecting every UK Motown single between TMG 501 and TMG 801… but I soon gave up the ghost, though this one made it into the fold. 01.43.58 McFADDEN & WHITEHEAD – Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now * – 12″ – Philadelphia Int – 1979 Reminds me of Bedfordshire clubs of the time, and footballing mates and girlfriends and not a care in the world. 01.49.53 THE TYRREL CORPORATION – Going Home (Original Mix) * – 12″ – Cooltempo – 1992 Had three or four biggish tunes that gave them an identity of sorts. Not sure why great train robber, Buster Edwards is here but this was a 15.8.92 ad, most probably in Record Mirror. 01.55.08 NEW ORDER (Again!) – World In Motion (1990 No Alla Violenza Mix) * – 12″ – Factory – 1990 It’s World Cup time again! So, for only the second time (I think) in 41 Rooms’ history it’s New Order twice in one show – and the last time was Show 1! With a break in there nicked from somewhere I can’t quite grasp and Barney’s vocal deservedly getting some real breathing space here in between the Italo piano, will it do the job for us footie fans this time around? Who’d be an England fan, eh? If we’re still in the mix by show 153 we’re doing OK. Show 153 will be alive July 5.

King Carl Goes Skating by Astor by 826 Valencia

What happens when a prosecutor realizes the criminal justice system is failing the very people it claims to serve? Mark Astor discovered this harsh reality after seeing the same faces cycle through courtrooms over and over-all struggling with untreated mental health and addiction issues. His journey from "lock them all up" prosecutor to founding the only law firm in America dedicated exclusively to mental health and addiction law reveals a broken system and the innovative legal tools that can actually save lives. Mark's unique approach combines three powerful legal mechanisms-the Baker Act, Marchman Act, and guardianships-often simultaneously, to help families navigate crisis situations when traditional treatment approaches have failed.Through candid stories of his own rock bottom moments, including studying for the California bar exam three times while broke, and the family crisis that opened his eyes to Florida's "draconian" mental health system, Mark shares how personal growth must precede financial growth. His firm now helps hundreds of families annually using legal strategies most attorneys never touch, supported by their own investigation team and clinical experts. You'll discover why he believes addiction and mental health issues are diseases, not choices, and how the right legal intervention can mean the difference between life and death for families in crisis.Want to grow your podcast, land more guest appearances, and save hours every week?

A single street can reveal a lot about ambition, identity, and the rise—and disappearance—of cultural ideals.In this episode of Grandma's Silver, Allie Kochinsky is joined by architectural historian Mosette Broderick, author of Fifth Avenue: Architecture and Society, to explore how one of New York's most iconic avenues became a powerful lens for understanding American social and architectural history.From its early days as rural farmland to its transformation into a boulevard of brownstones, and later, a stage for Gilded Age mansions, Fifth Avenue tells a story of aspiration, competition, and constant reinvention. Families like the Vanderbilts and Astors built grand homes not simply for comfort, but as expressions of status, taste, and belonging.Yet many of these archiectural landmarks were surprisingly short-lived. As the city evolved, mansions gave way to apartments, hotels, and luxury retail, marking a profound shift in how status was defined, from private ownership to public presence.Together, Allie and Mosette explore the idea of architecture as social performance, examining how buildings reflect identity, hierarchy, and cultural values, and what it means when those symbols are erased. This conversation offers a thoughtful look at Fifth Avenue as a place and as a cycle, one that continues to shape how we think about cities, preservation, and the meaning of prestige today.Listen in for:The evolution of Fifth Avenue from farmland to cultural iconHow Gilded Age architecture reflected wealth, aspiration, and social competitionThe role of architects in shaping American identityWhy so many historic mansions were demolished... and what was lostHow status shifted from private homes to public, commercial spaceWhat Fifth Avenue reveals about modern urban development and cultural changeTo purchase Mosette's book, click here.If you enjoy Grandma's Silver, follow the podcast and share this episode with a friend who loves heritage, design, and timeless living.

Today we're heading to the Cotswolds to meet Henry Astor who runs Bruern Farms. Henry took on the reigns of the family farm from his father in 2017 and decided that creating diversity on the farm was the way to meet the challenges of the post Brexit farming landscape. The farm's arable enterprise was joined by a herd of English long horns, saddleback pigs, chickens, and a host of building diversifications including turning a grain dryer into studio spaces and grain silos into work spaces. Henry also bought a flour mill, began brewing beer, started a market garden, began growing heritage grains, bought a cold press to make sunflower oil, built a farm shop and café. He also helped to found the North East Cotswold Farm Cluster which has over 125 farms in its membership. Henry also lived and worked in the USA for many years.

Abrimos el programa sigueindo el hilo de nuestra anterior emisión, recordando músicas del siglo pasado con aires turcos y rumanos recuperadas para nuestro disfrute por Canary Records.

We continue with more new releases inspired by Greek, Syrian, Colombian, Spanish-French, Brazilian and Argentine sounds. – [Artistas desconocidos / Unknown artists] - Ege - Whistling for donkeys: some Turkish instrumental music from 78rpm discs ca. 1927-47 [V.A.] – Cornelius Codolban & His Gypsy Trail Orchestra - Doina oltului - Dor, dor, dor: Romanian recordings from Josef Cristea's label, New York City, ca. 1943-49 [V.A.] – [Artistas desconocidos / Unknown artists] - Hora din goicești - Folklore dances from Romania, ca. 1950s [V.A.] – Comlosana - Sârba - Plays your favorite Romanian dance music vol. 2, Chicago ca. 1963 – Melech Mechaya - Gente estranha - Gente estranha – Vasilis Kostas - Kalesma - Léna – Rihab Azar - Indulgence - Dandelion – Super Panela - La gaita siempre tira pal monte - Sangre nueva – Arthur de Faria, Tum Toin Foin & Orquestra Theatro São Pedro - Osvaldo y Astor en Venus - Arthur de Faria, Tum Toin Foin & Orquestra Theatro São Pedro – [Super Panela - A tope, amigo - Sangre nueva]

In this episode of the Collectability podcast, Tania Edwards is joined by Reginald Brack, Senior Vice President and Head of Department for Freeman's Watches, and John Reardon, to discuss one of the most extraordinary pocket watches to come to market in recent memory: the gold Tiffany & Co.-signed Patek Philippe pocket watch owned by John Jacob Astor IV, recovered from his body following the sinking of the Titanic.John Jacob Astor IV was widely regarded as the wealthiest passenger aboard the Titanic. He helped his pregnant wife into a lifeboat, remained behind, and did not survive. The watch was purchased through Tiffany & Co. in 1904, remained within the Astor family for more than a century, and is supported by documented recovery, continuous family ownership, expert authentication, and an Extract from the Archives from Patek Philippe.In this conversation, Tania, Reginald, and John discuss the provenance, the history, the watch itself, and what it means to hold an object that connects so directly to one of the most famous nights in modern history.The watch and pencil will be offered at Freeman's in Chicago on April 22, 2026, with an estimate of $300,000 to $500,000 for the watch and $10,000 to $20,000 for the pencil.If you enjoyed this episode, please like

Cumpleañero de marzo, nuestro invitado de hoy, desde muy niño se situó como un músico excepcional provisto de un genio único que lo ubicó -igual que a sus tangos y melodías-, en lo más alto de los escenarios internacionales donde se aprecia y reconoce a los talentos sobresalientes. Cuando nos toca oír las notas de alguna de sus piezas por orquestas sinfónicas, cuartetos de cuerdas o agrupaciones musicales, nos gana la recurrente emoción de estar ante un compositor e intérprete de altísimo vuelo que enorgullece a nuestro país y a la música porteña del río de la Plata, en cualquier punto del planeta donde se difunden sus temas que alcanzaron carácter de clásicos inolvidables. En Argentina se lo reconoce de manera unánime como una figura innovadora máxima del Tango, un esencial, un disruptivo que se destacó siempre en el mundo tanguero. Ninguna de sus composiciones puede pasar desapercibida, todas contienen una calidad suprema en cada nota de alta recordación, más allá del tiempo, esa que requieren como condimento indispensable las grandes obras musicales que circulan por el mundo.

Ninguna de sus composiciones puede pasar desapercibida, todas contienen una calidad suprema en cada nota de alta recordación, más allá del tiempo, esa que requieren como condimento indispensable las grandes obras musicales que circulan por el mundo.

In this Director's Clip Notes episode, host Nichel Anderson revisits the powerful story arc “King Rules Over Tiamat Secures the Astor” from the MOLIAE Short Stories Podcast Series. This reflective look back explores the moment when King Mahlon returns to Ancient Egypt / Mitsrayim to meet with the tribal leaders, seeking to uncover who among them remains loyal — and who conspired in the war against him and his kingdom. Nichel provides behind‑the‑scenes insight into the creative direction, symbolism, and emotional depth of this pivotal episode, connecting it to the broader MOLIAE universe. As a bonus reflection, Nichel revisits Season 1, Episode 25 – “A Disagreement Among the Orions,” where Nontu, Ecko, and Lanko clash over their mission in the Sudan. The tension rises when Nontu reveals what he has captured — a revelation that challenges leadership and loyalty among the Orions. The episode features the soulful background song “Don't You Remember The Times” by Nichel MOLIAE, adding emotional resonance to this cinematic retelling of power, betrayal, and destiny.

S8 E2: Dave Astor On Books Keep Us CenteredIn a world that moves quickly, speaks loudly, and rarely pauses for reflection, books continue to offer something quietly radical: steadiness. They slow us down. They ask us to listen. They remind us that complexity has always existed and that human beings have long turned to stories, ideas, and language to make sense of it all.Today on Tea, Toast & Trivia, I'm delighted to welcome back Dave Astor for a thoughtful conversation about how books help keep us centred in uncertain times. This is not a discussion about reading lists or literary trends, but about reading as companionship, as a way of orienting ourselves when the world feels fragmented, overwhelming, or simply too fast.Together, we explore why books still matter, how reading creates inner stillness, and what happens when we give ourselves permission to step away from the noise and return to the page. It's a conversation about humour, empathy, attention, and the deep human need for stories that help us live with greater clarity and care.So pour yourself a cup of tea, settle into a comfortable chair, and join us. This is a gentle reminder that even in a complex world, there are places we can return to, and books are often among the most faithful.RebeccaMusic by Epidemic Sound“No River Wide Enough” by Airaehttps://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/25d1f5fb-ac34-3626-981a-a57d2740a1eb/

The Astors... Chances are you've hear the name of this prominent and obscenely wealthy dynasty of gilded age America. You may have been to a hotel, library, subway station or town that bares their name; vaguely remember that one of them went down with the Titanic, or recall seeing their modern decedents in US or UK tabloids. But who were these captains of industry and Queens of society? Today we'll sort out the Astor family tree, put faces to the famous names and unearth their scandals! We'll explore how they got their incredible wealth, what they did with it and what their decedents are up to today. Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

Leila Philip explains how John Jacob Astor founded America's first multi-millionaire fortune by overhearing traders discuss the massive profit margins on beaver fur. Astor leveraged the Lewis and Clark expedition to establish global trade routes, utilizing beaver pelts—which functioned as a literal currency—to jumpstart American capitalism before the species was nearly wiped out.

Patriots, gear up for the breakdown—@intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove unleash on **Season 8, Episode 010: "Renee Good the New George Floyd?; Premium Part 2: Follow the Bloodlines"**, starting Hour One with a hard look at the January 7, 2026, fatal shooting of 37-year-old U.S. citizen Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in south Minneapolis. They question the rapid narrative spin framing it as another George Floyd moment—highlighting conflicting accounts: federal self-defense claims after Good's vehicle allegedly threatened agents versus eyewitness videos, bodycam audio of her saying "It's all good, dude, I'm not mad at you" before the incident, and local outrage sparking protests, whistles for alerts, and calls for oversight amid broader ICE operations targeting criminal illegal immigrants (backed by DHS data on arrests). They call out protester interference with warrants, play clips showing coordinated messaging like "one falls, another rises," and expose "black pill" networks pushing consistent anti-Trump talking points on Israel and more, plus hypocrisy via old Obama clips refusing deportation freezes. They spotlight media manipulation where critics echo identical language to mislead the public. Hour Two kicks off with the timely Rumble Wallet rollout—empowering financial independence through a non-custodial crypto wallet integrated into Rumble, letting users buy and hold Tether (USDT), Tether Gold (XAUt), and Bitcoin, plus instant, direct tipping to creators without bank, government, or tech interference for true creator and audience control. The main Premium focus continues the exclusive deep read from Fritz Springmeier's "Bloodlines of the Illuminati" (publicly archived and noted for its origins), unpacking the Astor family's historical ties to Freemasonry, occult influences, and monopolistic global economic structures—linking elite bloodlines and power networks to modern "New World Order" references and why understanding these connections matters for navigating today's events.

For most people today, the story of the original colony of Astoria is remembered — if it's remembered at all — as a dismal failure. It was an ill-equipped party sent out by a rich guy in New York, which failed and was forced to sell out at fire-sale prices to the British. And yeah, that's all kind of true … but the most interesting thing about Fort Astoria is, if John Jacob Astor's explorers had stayed home — or even left a year later than they did — the Oregon country would probably be part of Canada today. Going a bit farther (and being quite a bit more speculative) — if Astor had made even slightly less awful hiring decisions when he launched the project, the British would likely have ended up locked out of the entire central West Coast, from Mexico to Alaska; and it's possible, if not likely, that it would have become its own independent country, governed or ruled by Astor's descendants. To explain all that historical what-iffery, I need to give you a Cliff's Notes version of the story of the Astoria project. (Astoria, Clatsop County; 1810s, 1820s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2508a.1008b.astoria-party-saved-oregon-from-uk-704.083.html)

Were the Vanderbilts visionary aristocrats building a lasting legacy, or history's most spectacular example of how to lose an unfathomable fortune in three generations? In this episode of History's Greatest Idiots, we explore the family that controlled 10% of all money in circulation in America and turned it into absolutely nothing through the revolutionary strategy of building 250-room houses nobody needed and throwing $8 million parties to impress people who already hated them.This is the story of the Vanderbilt dynasty: from ruthless railroad tycoon to 120 descendants without a single millionaire among them in less than a century. Featuring marble palaces, forced marriages to British dukes, and enough champagne-fuelled bad decisions to sink the Lusitania. Oh wait, that happened too.What You'll Discover:How Cornelius "The Commodore" Vanderbilt built a $200 billion fortune (in relative economic terms) by being brilliant, ruthless, and too cheap to buy a new coatWhy his son William Henry was the last competent Vanderbilt, doubling the fortune before his descendants set it on fireThe $265 million "summer cottage" with 70 rooms that required 40 full-time servants (The Breakers in Newport)Alva Vanderbilt's $8 million costume ball that forced New York society to accept them (one guest came dressed as a working lightbulb)George Vanderbilt's 250-room Biltmore Estate that accidentally became a successful tourist attraction by losing so much moneyHow Consuelo Vanderbilt was literally sold to the Duke of Marlborough for $95 million and a fancy titleReginald Vanderbilt's masterclass in drinking and gambling away $400 million in just 23 yearsWhy Alfred Vanderbilt survived cancelling his Titanic ticket only to die on the Lusitania three years laterThe 1973 family reunion where 120 Vanderbilt descendants gathered and not one was a millionaireHow Anderson Cooper became the last wealthy Vanderbilt by doing something radical: getting a jobThe Mathematics of Disaster: The Commodore leaves $95 million to one son. That son splits it among eight children. Those eight split it among dozens of grandchildren. Each generation builds million-dollar mansions requiring hundreds of thousands in annual maintenance. None of them work. All of them spend like the money is infinite. Spoiler: it wasn't.The Gilded Age Arms Race: We explore how the Vanderbilts competed with the Astor's and other old money families by building increasingly absurd monuments to their wealth: Fifth Avenue châteaux that were demolished 40 years later because nobody could afford the property taxes, Newport "cottages" with indoor swimming pools and two-story libraries, and enough marble to build a small Italian village.Three Generations of Wealth Destruction:First Generation (The Commodore): Builds empire through ruthless business practices and penny-pinchingSecond Generation (William Henry's children): Maintains wealth while building increasingly expensive houses and establishing lavish lifestylesThird Generation: Drinks it, gambles it, and watches their houses get torn down because they can't afford the heating bills.⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Animation: Daniel Wilson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/wilson_the_wilson/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music: Andrew Wilson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/andrews_electric_sheep⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The Maltese Falcon premiered in movie theaters eight eighty-four years ago this month, and we're celebrating the anniversary of one of Hollywood's best mystery pictures with a showcase for its stars - Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, and Sydney Greenstreet. We'll hear each of them headline a radio mystery, and all four of them together as they recreate their roles in a radio adaptation of the film. Lorre stars in a locked room mystery from the pen of John Dickson Carr - "The Moment of Darkness" from Suspense (originally aired on CBS on April 20, 1943). Ms. Astor may be a murderess in "The Silent Hands" from Inner Sanctum Mysteries (originally aired on CBS on May 13, 1944). Greenstreet is Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe in "The Case of the Impolite Corpse" (originally aired on NBC on December 8, 1950). And Bogart co-stars with Lauren Bacall in an episode of their syndicated mystery drama Bold Venture (known as "Forged American Pasports"). Finally, all four stars reunite to present The Maltese Falcon on The Lady Esther Screen Guild Theatre (originally aired on CBS on September 20, 1943).

Today's New York neighborhood called NoHo, wedged between Greenwich Village and the East Village, holds the stories of many people and places that then went on to become deeply associated with the great Gilded Age.The Astor family began their dynasty here in both investment and real estate as did the well-known Dutch-American merchant family the Schermerhorns.Caroline Schermerhorn, who became the famed Mrs. Astor, grew up right here on Bond Street along with many members of her family. NoHo today still contains many remnants of its early 19th-century glamorous past and sites where the tensions between the wealthy residents of the Lafayette Place neighborhood clashed with the growing immigrant population just one street away on the Bowery. Bowery Boys Walks tour guide Aaron Schielke joins Carl Raymond of the Gilded Gentleman podcast for a look at this fascinating neighborhood, which includes stories of the rich and famous, as well as the macabre details of a grisly 19th-century murder that took place on Bond Street that remains unsolved to this day. Take a Bowery Boys Walks tour with Aaron! Find dates to his NoHo tours here and other walking tours here.This episode was originally released in the Gilded Gentleman feed in March 2025. The show was edited and produced by Kieran Gannon.

Some called him the Gilded Age's biggest snob. Others thought he was a genius of social protocol and maneuvering through aristocratic circles.  Most famously, he acted as Mrs. Astor's right hand in sorting, selecting and assembling a group of New York's elite he was credited (erroneously) as naming "the 400".  Nonetheless his influence on who got in and who stayed out was significant - but just exactly who was HE?  Join Carl for this in-depth look at just who Ward McAllister (played by Nathan Lane in HBO's "The Gilded Age") was and how he climbed the social ladder - and most of all, how he committed one of Gilded Age society's greatest sins - he wrote a book and told all. Listen to other Gilded Gentleman shows tied to the HBO series including Black Newport, Playing Mamie Fish, Consuelo Vanderbilt and the Gilded Age's Million Dollar Princesses and The Real Mrs. Astor. And listen to the Bowery Boys Podcast's Tom Meyers on the Official Gilded Age Podcast

Newport, Rhode Island has been an important center for the evolution of America's African heritage community. -- from its earliest days of the 18th century slave trade to the late 19th century years of the Gilded Age, Viewers of HBO Max's The Gilded Age follow the character of Peggy Scott and her family to Newport and into the center of its wealthy, thriving Black community in the late 19th century. Joining The Gilded Gentleman to trace this extraordinary history of Newport's African heritage community is Rhode Island's historian laureate Keith Stokes. Keith is a 9th generation Newporter and is descended from many of the major players that were trailblazers in civic government, education, medicine and science during Newport's Gilded Age.  The stories of the Astor and Vanderbilt families along with many others of the New York elite is only part of the story of Newport and its pivotal role in American history.  This episode hopes to reveal another.For more Gilded Age adventures, listen to the Gilded Gentleman podcast and the Bowery Boys podcast. You can also find Tom Meyers on the Official Gilded Age Podcast. This episode was edited by Keiran Gannon.

The Gilded Gentleman looks at one of the most legendary figures of the Gilded Age – Caroline Astor, or the Mrs Astor, the ruler and creator of New York's high society in the early 1870s. Is she anything like the depiction on HBO's The Gilded Age?In collaboration with Southern social climber Ward McAllister, Mrs. Astor essentially created the rules for who was ‘acceptable' in New York social circles.But she's also known for her battles with family members — most notably with her nephew (and next door neighbor) William Waldorf Astor. What was behind her unusual motivations? And in what unusual way did she decide to cap her legacy at the end of her life?Carl is joined by Tom Miller, creator of the website Daytonian in Manhattan, documenting the history of New York City, one building at a time. This is a rerun of one of Carl's first episodes of the Gilded Gentleman, re-edited and re-mastered to honor her latest appearance on television.Visit the Bowery Boys website for more information and articles about New York City history.

At the heart of New York's Gilded Age — the late 19th-century era of unprecedented American wealth and excess — were families with the names Astor, Waldorf, Schermerhorn, and Vanderbilt, alongside power players like A.T. Stewart, Jay Gould and William “Boss” Tweed.They would all make their homes — and in the case of the Vanderbilts, their great many homes — on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue.The image of Fifth Avenue as a luxury retail destination today grew from the street's aristocratic reputation in the 1800s. The rich were inextricably drawn to the avenue as early as the 1830s when rich merchants, anxious to be near the exquisite row houses of Washington Square Park, began turning it into an artery of expensive abodes.In this podcast, Tom and Greg present a world that's somewhat hard to imagine — free-standing mansions in an exclusive corridor running right through the center of Manhattan. Why was Fifth Avenue fated to become the domain of the so-called “Upper Ten”? And what changed about the city in the 20th century to ensure the eventual destruction of most of them?The following is a re-edited, remastered version of two past Bowery Boys shows — the Rise and Fall of the Fifth Avenue Mansion. Combined, this tells the whole story of Fifth Avenue, from the initial development of streets in the 1820s to its Midtown transformation into a mecca of high-end shopping in the 1930s. This could also serve as a primer to the HBO series The Gilded Age, the official podcast co-hosted by Tom Meyers!

Vandalism at draft board offices as U.S. involvement in Vietnam was escalating was deeply divisive.
