Podcasts about Astoria

A Native American story tells of a galleon coming to the bluff, just south of Astoria, and its crew burying a mysterious chest there — guarded by the body of a murdered crew member. Is it true? And has the treasure already been found? (Near Manzanita, Tillamook County; 1700s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1008d_spanish-gold-of-neahkahnie-mountain.html)

On this week's episode we are examining the glorious, haunted houses of the Flavel family. One haunted by spirits and the other haunted by the last generation of the family, one member of which became known as Hatchet Harry. This is the story of family secrets and a mystery that endured for decades. There's a lot of twists and turns in this one. So lets get into shall we? Grab yourself a cup of tea, make sure the doors are locked, and the hatchet is close by. I have a story to tell you. This week we are moving out of Portland and up the coast to Astoria, Oregon, a sleepy little town directly on the Columbia River that has the cutest population of very loud sea lions. It's tucked up in a valley that leads right down to the waterfront where you can watch big freighter ships and little lead boats going up and down. As we drove into town we hit a pretty crazy rainstorm that apparently flooded out a lot of places in town but otherwise it was very calm, off and on sunny and then foggy. It was kinda hard to believe that we were right in the midst of the Graveyard of the Pacific. According to the Columbia River Maritime Museum, “Since 1792 approximately 2000 vessels, including over 200 large ships, have sunk at the Columbia River Bar.  More than 700 people have lost their lives to the sea. Mariners agree that the combination of high seas, a mighty river, land shallow, and shifting sand bars make the Columbia River bar one of the most dangerous bar crossings in the world.”  Considering the stories from the museum I don't want to see it at it's worse. That's kinda the backdrop to this week's stories.   For more photos, videos, and to support the show go to: https://www.patreon.com/MyHauntedLifePodcast     ----more---- Sources https://astoriamuseums.org/explore/flavel-house-museum/ https://www.dailyastorian.com/news/flavel-family-mystery-unsealed/article_4c1e913d-45b8-5a07-a214-c96592e114a7.html https://thatoregonlife.com/2017/10/flavel-house-astoria/  Haunted Astoria by Jefferson Davis  https://www.dailyastorian.com/news/local/mary-louise-flavelflavel-s-death-closes-a-chapter-on-a-long-and-complex-history/article_ca446d03-7131-5d80-8fb5-5461286fc575.html https://www.cultofweird.com/americana/flavel-house-astoria-oregon/ https://www.crmm.org/current-exhibits.html

Few people know how close Oregon came to officially becoming a British possession under the treaty that ended the War of 1812 — and the thing that "saved" the state was an expedition everyone thinks of as a disastrous failure. (Astoria, Clatsop County; 1810s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1008b_how-oregon-almost-became-part-of-canada.html)

Teri M. Brown has loved reading and writing since childhood. But her family saw authorship as a hobby, not a career. And years and years of enduring an emotionally abusive relationship made Teri feel like she wasn't capable or worthy of pursuing her dreams. Then in 2020, Teri and her new husband, Bruce, rode a tandem bicycle across the United States to raise money for Toys for Tots. And the trip from Astoria, Oregon, to Washington, DC, made Teri realize she could do anything she set her mind to. Today, Teri is the published author of two works of historical fiction, Sunflowers Beneath the Snow and An Enemy Like Me.

Dustin joins Amanda to discuss something near and dear (or at least super nostalgic): infomercials.  How did they become a billion dollar business in the late 80s? And when/where did they begin?  We discuss all of that (and more) in this episode.Watch:The First Informercial (Vitamix)Ronco Electric Food DehydratorThe Time Life Mysteries of the Unknown SeriesPure MoodsRead:"The Stepford Channel," Rick Marin, The New York Times.The first audio essay series of 2023!!We're going to be talking about our relationship with shopping!As we began to talk about at the end of last year, we are practically trained to be consumers from birth.  From sticker collections to toys to the commercials on the Saturday morning cartoons, we have been told that new stuff = a better life. More happiness. Popularity…and even in the case of the “romance industrial complex,” it means love and appreciation.  Shopping is a social activity, the subject of copious amounts of magazine articles, blogs posts, and social media content.  For some families shopping is the only way they can spend time together and get along!Here are some ideas of things you can cover in your audio essay: How did shopping fit into your childhood? Was it a part of your relationship with a family member? Did it change over time? Do you find yourself engaging in so-called “ retail therapy?”  Does it help? Have you found something that helps more? Are you addicted to bargains and deals? Have you found a non-shopping way to scratch that itch? Does shopping make you happy? Sad? Angry? Why? Are there any specific shopping memories that have shaped how you approach clothing as an adult? Or maybe you have your own theme you would like to cover! That's fine, too! Write out what you want to say before you record it. Try to fit it into 5 minutes or less.If you want your contact info (name, instagram handle, business) to be included in the episode, please tell us in the recording. If you want to be anonymous, that's fine, too!It's okay if you make a mistake while recording, just say that part again and keep going. Amanda will edit it.Record in a quiet room away from fans, air conditioners, bus stops, and howling hound dogs.Be sure to double check your recording before sending. Yes, I have received fully silent recordings.When you email it, include your name, pronouns, and IG handle.The deadline for this project is March 15.Check out Amanda's other podcast, The Department.Have questions/comments/cute animal photos?

Stacy, Chanel, and Ashley discuss the first part of the Astoria and Draco fanfic Always, Astoria by our fabulous friend Thebaroness1980. Katie Baron (the author) is on! We catch up with Katie and get her insight on Astoria during this episode. Story link below:https://archiveofourown.org/works/31099430/chapters/76838297Fic Story Recap:Astoria Greengrass has it all: she's beautiful, smart, strong-willed and hello gets to attend school at Beauxtons. All of that changes when she arrives at Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament. Icy welcomes from her sister, a handsome Hufflepuff, party-having slytherins, a grumpy blonde and unheard prophecy is just the beginning. When love and hate intertwine it can lead to a passion so heated it burns both alive.Describe & explain TAGS:○ Love/Hate: When two characters are in love but denial of it at the same time. They love the other person but they hide it by arguing/fighting.This can be exciting because as we all know there is a fine line between love and hate○  Wax play: is a form of temperature play practiced in a BDSM context, in which wax from a candle is dripped onto a person's naked skin, in order to introduce a slight burning sensation to the skin. This is considered a moderately advanced form of play. (thanks wikipedia!)○  Multiple POV: The story is not told solely by one character but two or more. In this fic we get Draco and Astoria's POV at different times.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

More happiness. Popularity…and even in the case of the “romance industrial complex,” it means love and appreciation.  Shopping is a social activity, the subject of copious amounts of magazine articles, blogs posts, and social media content.  For some families shopping is the only way they can spend time together and get along!Here are some ideas of things you can cover in your audio essay: How did shopping fit into your childhood? Was it a part of your relationship with a family member? Did it change over time? Do you find yourself engaging in so-called “ retail therapy?”  Does it help? Have you found something that helps more? Are you addicted to bargains and deals? Have you found a non-shopping way to scratch that itch? Does shopping make you happy? Sad? Angry? Why? Are there any specific shopping memories that have shaped how you approach clothing as an adult? Or maybe you have your own theme you would like to cover! That's fine, too!

ASTORIA, Ore. — A man who posted video on social media of himself leaving a dead fish on the porch of the famous "Goonies" house in Astoria on Wednesday later had to be rescued from a stolen boat, as seen in a harrowing video posted by the U.S. Coast Guard Friday afternoon, according to Astoria police.On Friday evening, Seaside Police and officers from the Clatsop County Sheriff's Office and Oregon State Police arrested 35-year-old Jericho Wolf Labonte of Victoria, British Columbia, at a warming shelter in Seaside. As of Saturday afternoon, Labonte is in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody at the Northwest Detention Center in Washington. Officers said Labonte was wanted on charges of theft I, endangering another person, unauthorized use of a vehicle and criminal mischief II.

We continue our discussion with Nate Sheen and get into security assessments, testing, and other good things to do. These are the ways you can determine where vulnerabilities are and how to secure your systems and organization. The idea and cost of an assessment may seem too much for your organization. However, the ROI is substantial. It is that old idea of the value of peace of mind. Security Assessments As A Proactive Move No one wants to find out where they have allowed holes for hackers after the fact. That is where security assessments come in. They point out known weaknesses and gaps in our security. While these can be technical issues, Nate also talks about how a hacking organization can use non-technical means to get into secure systems. It is not just code and firewalls. We also need to be aware of a human factor to security. A Little Background Nate grew up in a closed community; his first friends were his siblings. He launched his first business not knowing anyone in the community. At 19, running his 2nd business, he started understanding how the business worked. While he had the nuts and bolts, he had no sales or networking experience. Nate spent his early 20s' building a vast network in person and online. When he launched his 3rd company, which he owns today, he successfully built a solid corporation. Nate has worked through mental health issues with his struggles with Depression and suicide. Further, he has dealt with financial trials that allow him to have a firm grasp on how to keep on going. Learn More about Nate at Trustastoria.com His Story Nate is the President and Owner of Astoria, founded in 2015. Astoria is an Ohio-based Cyber-Security Agency. Nate has discovered through managing cyber-security, there is a mental health aspect. The health of individuals and businesses is linked to Cyber-Security.

They provide consulting and assessments to various business types to reduce attacks. Our discussion goes into why we all need to be more vigilant about security for our products and businesses. Securing Your Product And Business Should Be Intentional It can be easy to treat security in a lax way until you suffer from an attack. Unfortunately, there are many ways to be attacked, and little you can do once one is successful. Whether it is your business or securing your product, it needs to be done early and reviewed regularly. The bad actors are always updating their approach and finding new avenues of attack. Therefore, you need to secure your company and products today while setting plans to stay current. A Little Background Nate grew up in a closed community; his first friends were his siblings. He launched his first business not knowing anyone in the community. At 19, running his 2nd business, he started understanding how the business worked. While he had the nuts and bolts, he had no sales or networking experience. Nate spent his early 20s' building a vast network in person and online. When he launched his 3rd company, which he owns today, he successfully built a solid corporation. Nate has worked through mental health issues with his struggles with Depression and suicide.

On this week's episode we are going dark and discussing a heavy hitter in the paranormal community, the infamous Shanghai Tunnels of Portland. Trigger warning. It's real dark. Name a bad thing and it will probably be mentioned today. Human trafficking, sexual assault, drugging, murder, cannibalism, racism. Yeah there's a lot today. I discovered in my travels in the PWN that there are actually Shanghai Tunnels in Portland, Astoria, and Seattle. I thought this was fascinating! But the Portland ones are probably the most famous amongst paranormal enthusiasts because they have been seen on every ghost show basically ever. There is a lot of history to get through, don't worry it's very dark and gruesome. I was so upset when I didn't get to go the first time I was in Portland so I made sure to go this time, and I'll probably go again this year too! I even had a ghostly experience that I'll tell you all about at the end. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/myhauntedlife/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/myhauntedlife/support

Today, we have Carl Zha from the Silk and Steel Podcast joining us to discuss the Opium wars. Show Notes0:00:00 - 0:03:12 - Introductions0:03:14- 0:05:20 - Opium BeginningsOriginally, opium was ingested orally. However, ingesting it in large quantities lead to death because it stopped breathing. However, after Europeans colonized the New World, they brought back tobacco from the Americas. Particularly, the Spanish and the Portuguese, who brought it to the Philippines and Malaysia, both countries had a significant Chinese diaspora. Later, when the Dutch colonized Indonesia, they, too, brought tobacco. Now, Opium was mixed with tobacco and it could be smoked allowing for consumption in larger amounts without death.0:05:21- 0:07:08 - Damn British and OpiumOpium, itself, is not grown in china. It is grown outside of China and had to be imported. India grew Opium. In the Late 18th century when the British Colonized India, they forced the farmers in India to grow opium. Their policy of making Indian farmers grow Opium was responsible for many famines. The British East India Company (BEIC) would license the opium through their opium monopoly. They would sell the opium to individual traders who would carry them into China, because the British want plausible deniability. If someone every questioned them, they would say, “Oh, we are the venerable British East India company. We don't we don't actually believe in the opium trade.”0:07:08- 0:08:01 - Smoke and MirrorsThe BEIC ships the opium, but the individual parcels will be parceled out and sold to employees of BEIC. A famous opium smuggler is William Jardine, who started as a sergeant under the BEIC. As an employee of the BEIC, he got his own cargo space on their shops which was used to ship opium that he sold to China. 0:08:02- 0:09:48 - China's Opium EpidemicOpium was illegal in China and soon the Chinese government realized they had a crisis. Initially, opium was a luxury good because it was not grown in China. However, the innovation of the BEIC flooded the market with cheap opium. Now, laborers could afford it. It blossomed into a full-blown opium crisis.0:09:49- 0:13:42 - Limits on Foreign TradeOriginally, foreign presence in China was curtailed. It was limited to a few port ciites and the British could only stay for 6 months before having to go to the island of Macau. The British weren't happy that they could only conduct trade in the city of Canton. The British had to resort to selling opium because originally their product was not competitive. British had developed a taste for Chinese tea, and they needed silver to trade because China had gone into the Silver standard. 0:13:43 - 0:14:48 - The Magic FormulaSoon, the British hit the magic formula of selling drugs to the Chinese to drain China of it's silver. The British ran a trade deficit with China prior to the massive operation of opium smuggling. According to some estimates, 50% of the silver mined in the South America is from the 18th and 19th century, ended up in China. The British just decided to sell drugs to drain the silver. 0:14:48 - 0:18:28 Enter AmericansDuring the founding of the United States, most of the New England old money was made in the opium fortune. There was Astor who has an area in Queens named after him: Astoria. Other families who made their fortune through the Opium Trade:* The Forbes Family whose descendant John Forbes Kerry was Secretary of State under Obama.* The Delano Family - FDR's Grandfather.* HSBC bank During a famine in Guangzhau, American traders hid opium under bags of rice. All the Ivy league universities were also heavily invested in the opium trade. That's how America was founded on: Drugs and Slaves.0:19:24 - 0:25:47 China Fights BackChinese officials tried to tackle the problem by banning opium. The first few bans were ineffective because the British had paid off many officials. In the 1830s, the sends his minister Lin Tse-Hsu', who is known to be a very honest, upright official to Guangzhou, specifically put a stop to the opium trade. The British gave up the opium, but they were very indignant. William Jardine returns to London and buys up many newspapers and starts to agitate a media campaign against China in order to start a war. He hobnobs with UK politicians, especially Lord Palmerston, to urge for war with China. There was a lively debate in the British Parliament about morality of going to war with China over opium. But, in the end, they decide to wage war against China for Opium.0:25:47-0:32:12 The First Opium WarThe British sent their troops from India and landed in the port city of Guanzhou. The British had obtained Mysore rockets and their arsenal was significantly better than China's. While Britain had industrialized, they did so by destroying more advanced industries in India. Britain decided to bombard the Chinese coast and went up to the mouth of the Yangzi river. they decided they're going to apply pressure by raiding other Chinese coastal towns. So the sale of the salt from the South China Sea and bombarding the Chinese coast totally. And if they go that went up to the mouth of Yangzi River near Shanghai. They took over some islands to create big their headquarter for opium smuggling. And more importantly, they threatened to cut off the north-south traffic at the Grand Canal. At that time, most of the Chinese shipping was along the coast under the Grand Canal to sail from Nanjing to Beijing. Beijing, in 1839, had a population of more than a billion. The plains around Beijing was dry and couldn't feed the population. The British Navy blockaded the area around Nanjing, threatened to cut off the the rice shipment from from the south to Beijing to basically to starve the population. At this point, China capitulated. They paid large indemnity for the pleasure of being invaded and also recognized Hong Kong as a port.0:32:12 - 0:36:16 Treaty of Nanking * China Ceded Hong Kong in Perpetuity* Indemnity was paid to British ships* Opening up China for foreign exploitation.* Chinese law did not apply to British missionariesSoon, the french began negotiating with the British to allow a little colony in these areas. The city of Shanghai, British, France and even the US got their own concessions. The British and American concession eventually merged into the international Settlement of Shanghai. The colonialism was so bad that there needed to be a Chinatown in Shanghai. The Chinese were restricted to the Chinese city, where the Chinese law would continue to apply. But for the rest of European concessions, British, French, and American laws were applied. British imported Sikh police from British India to police the Shanghai concessions.0:36:16 -0:38:20 Modern Day Colony in OkinawaThis is eerily similar to Okinawa in modern day Japan. American soldiers can rape people in Okinawa. There is nothing that the Japanese government can do to them. The Japanese government is also a culprit because they don't want American soldiers on the Japanese mainland. So they stick them in Okinawa because, they never treated Okinawans at the same level as the Japanese citizens in Japan. Essentially Okinawa status is like it's a double colony of Japan and United States. 0:38:20 Century of HumiliationA Chinese person at this time was a second-class citizen in your own country. A very famous scene in a Bruce Lee film illustrates this:Some Western historians tried to disprove this as an urban myth. But, what they discovered was that there was that the sign actually said “This park is reserved for Europeans only, dogs not allowed.0:42:00 - 0:45:16 - Second Opium WarThe British were not very happy with the settlement for only $21 million. The opium was not fully legalized. So they waited for another opportunity to start another war. This opportunity came during the “Arrow Incident”. British authority had granted all the vessels registered in Hong Kong, British registration. So there was a cargo ship called Arrow. It was used by Chinese smugglers to smuggling opium again, which was captured by the Chinese authorities. The Chinese authorities arrested the crew and executed them for drug smuggling. Because the ship was flying a British flag, the British used this as an excuse to start another war. In another incident, proselytizing was illegal. A French priest decided to ignore this regulation and went to the interior. He got in trouble with the locals who killed him. The French used this as an excuse to align with the British to form the Anglo-French consortium. Now, the French-Anglo forces used Hong Kong as a launchpad to start another attack on China. The British just had finished fighting a war in India against the Great Sepoy Mutiny. They had shipped off mutineers to Trinidad, Guyana and other British colonies to work in bonded labor. 0:45:16 -0:49:29 Chinese Coolie TradeAround the time slavery was formally abolished in many Latin American countries, but there was still a demand for the docile labor force. British and Dutch traders set up shop in Hong Kong. They recruited Chinese peasants They will have these the British and Dutch traders, they will set up shop in Hong Kong and they will Chinese peasants with the promise of jobs overseas. When they went abroad, there conditions were terrible and slave-like. Bruce Lee's dutch great-grandfather was part of this. 0:50:13 - 0:59:07 The British Loot BeijingAfter Britain captured Guangzhou in 1856, they decided it was not enough, so they decided to bring in more pressure. They sailed up to the port of Tianjin, just outside of Beijing where they defeated the Chinese coastal defense. They send in their last remnant force led by the Mongol Prince Sengge Rinchen because they were poorly equipped. At this time, the British decided to send an envoy to negotiate with the Chinese side. But the Mongol Prince, Sengge Rinchen, was so mad at the defeat that he had the British envoy put to death. And now the British were out for revenge. They decided to sack Beijing and the Chines emperor fled the palace. The British commander Lord Elgin (the son of the famed Elgin marbles) decided to loot the Beijing summer palace and ordered the complete destruction of it. Today, the ruins stands. Everything within the summer palaces was shipped to Britain. A clause was inserted so that foreign priests could go anywhere in China to proselytize anywhere in China and British ships were allowed to carry indentured Chinese servants to the USA to work. 0:59:07 - 1:05:19 - Opium and the devastation on the Population* Foreign missionaries said nearly 40% of the adult male population were addicted to opium.* One doctor said, “There is no slavery to that compared to opium”Carl Zha tells us a personal anecdote about how opium ruined his grandfather's family.1:05:19 -1:14:12 KMT, Opium, CIA and the Cold WarAfter the communists seized power in China, the United States was sponsoring the remnant KMT troops who escape from southwestern China to northern Myanmar into this place now with nice golden triangle to start opium and heroin production over there. When the communists took power, opium was outlawed. They burned all the crops and now food such as size could be grown. Around this time, western pharmaceuticals started to develop more potent forms of opium to market it to the masses such as Heroin and Morphine which was treated as a cough remedy for Children.1:14:12-1:17:21 Heroin Crisis hits homeSoldiers who were in Vietnam became addicted to opium and it was shipped back home. 1:17:21 -1:23:20 -Getting back Hong KongWhile Hong Kong was leased in perpetuity, areas around Hong Kong was given a 100 year lease which would expire in 1997. At that time, Margaret Thatcher ran many scenarios to see if they could defend Hong Kong against Chinese forces. When she went to negotiate for Hong Kong, the Chinese government cut her off and flatly said no. They ran many scenarios and they realized they could not defend against an actual Chinese military.In the 1980s, a lot of fear was whipped up by the capitalist class. So, to assuage them, China did One Country Two Policies Get full access to Historic.ly at www.historicly.net/subscribe

The 1985 Steven Spielberg film "The Goonies'' is a quintessential adventure movie, following a middle schooler named Mikey and his friends as they find a treasure map and go on an epic adventure to save the family home from being demolished to make way for a golf course at the local country club. They call themselves the “Goonies” because they live in the Goon Docks neighborhood of a fictional version of Astoria on the Oregon coast. Since the movie first made its debut, the real Astoria house has been a tourist draw for fans across the country. The Goonies themselves famously “Never say die!” And one of the film's biggest fans would never do so either. Behman Zakeri lives in the Kansas City area and was among a number of would-be buyers that put in immediate offers when the home went up for sale last fall. He says he's committed to making sure the house is preserved and that other die-hard fans will have access to it. What that will look like, though, is anyone's guess, says Zakeri, as he's not legally allowed to rent the home on a short term basis or make it into a museum.Zakeri joins us to share why and how this movie became so woven into his identity and what his plans are for the future.

Writer Rachel Greenley joins us to share what she learned about fast fashion while working at a seasonal warehouse job processing returns for a big online retailer. She has the unique perspective of working in both the corporate office and warehouse of the same company. Experiencing both ends of the business only underscored the complex, grey areas within retail and our society.  If you have not read her essay, This Is the Reality of America's Fast-Fashion Addiction, go read it NOW!
