The 1885 Preller-Maxwell Murder Of St. LouisAd-Free Safe House Edition Episode 101 spans three years and three continents as a pair of British dandies meet on the steamer ship coming out of Liverpool and make a pact to travel together across the United States and on to Auckland, New Zealand. One of them only makes it as far a St. Louis before his body is found packed in a trunk in a hotel room and his partner gone with all of his traveling money. The case, the chase, the trial and the final reckoning all make national headlines and a celebrity out of the murderer, but that's not going to make this end any better for him.This is one of my favorite stories with one of my favorite tropes: The Trunk Murder. Hear More Stories About TRUNK MURDERSBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

A tour can change your clock, your appetite, and your sense of scale. Ours did all three. We flew across the Pacific in those elusive lie-flat pods, learned how to live inside a tiny sky room, then stepped into cities that start the party early and shut it down by midnight. Auckland turned into a nightly blackjack table with our road crew. Sydney strapped us to the top of the Harbour Bridge where the wind reminds you that steel has a heartbeat. We almost did the shark “dive” until we realized it was an aquarium nurse-shark swim—so we're saving the real cage for Perth.Onstage, Australia sang back. That's the magic of streaming meeting sweat and lights—songs born in Nashville echoing across arenas a hemisphere away. We discovered a cultural twist: seated sections stay seated out of courtesy, even while GA goes wild, so we're already scheming ways to design spaces that invite everyone to stand without guilt. The food? Fresh. The coffee? Espresso or nothing. Without omnipresent iPad tip prompts, generosity felt like choice, not pressure, and that small shift changed the tone of a day. Yes, we ate kangaroo on a kebab. Yes, it was good.Between shows, the news cut through: war with Iran. We wrestled with the same mix of dread, resolve, and hope you probably felt. We watched our pilots outfly missiles and felt awe and sorrow at once. It's messy to hold certainty and doubt in the same breath, but that's where we lived—on a bridge above Sydney, in a quiet hotel bar in Auckland, and backstage listening to a crowd finish a chorus we started years ago. Also, a 22-hour flight turned into a stand-off over a pod seat, and it became a lesson in boundaries: sometimes keeping your spot is the kindest thing you can do for your sanity.If you're here for tour stories, coffee talk, crowd psychology, or a grounded take on a loud headline, you'll feel at home.

Jules and Effin Older were enjoying retirement in a beautiful rent-controlled apartment in San Francisco until COVID hit and the appeal of big-city life faded. Having lived in New Zealand before, they saw it was handling the pandemic better than most places.

A groundbreaking study's revealed that even 50 years after the end of commercial whaling, its devastating impacts continue to shape humpback whale behaviour. Historical records show that in the waters of Oceania, which span from New Caledonia to French Polynesia, there were once more than 14,000 humpback whales. By the mid 1970s that number had plummeted to fewer than 200, bringing the species to the brink of extinction Now it's been revealed that as the population recovers, how whales' mate has been changed dynamically. Dr Emma Carroll is a molecular ecologist at the University of Auckland, she is the co-author of the research in the scientific journal Current Biology.

Episode 113: In the Shift is back for 2026, and so is Shane – and we're continuing our conversations about non-coercive community and how we build communities of care in a world shaped by capitalist individualism. In this episode we look at how society has changed over time, toward what is often called secularisation. In the secularised West, participation in communal life has become something of a free market choice that we must add to our already full lives. In that sense, participation in faith communities and other communities of care become choices we need to continually make, against the overwhelming tide of energy, demand and resources. But what if the full life we live is not neutral or a given, but is itself shaped by a set of default fundamental commitments built into contemporary capitalist society? Is it possible to ‘convert' away from this mode of being, toward something more sustainable and life-giving?

Despite being at the backbone of our health system, primary care in Aotearoa is facing unprecedented struggles.That's according to a recent study looking at six wealthy countries healthcare systems, including New Zealand's. An Increasing shortage of GP's, with the marjority of the workforce planning to retire in the next 10 years, an ageing population of patients, along with outdated and disconnected degital systems hampering the streamline transfer of patients between health organisations is putting unprecedented strain on the system, increasing wait times, and worsining outcomes.

Hello to you listening in Auckland, New Zealand! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate  Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. As the oldest of 7 children I learned early on the innate wisdom toddlers bring to the game of life. They know how to say No! And then the world shows them the error of their ways. We grow up saying Yes when we mean No! What changed? We were taught that saying Yes is right, good, proper, helpful even and saying No! is just plain wrong. The problem is the more we say Yes when we mean No we forget how to make choices in our own best interest and well-being. This self-sabotage robs us of our ability to choose wisely, of our personal power, of our legitimate right to say No! with certainty, confidence, and clarity. Of course, there's nothing wrong with saying Yes so long as we agree with ourselves, are not limited in our options, feeling compelled, or thinking we will be rejected or worse.  It takes practice to practice saying No! As you get better at it you will come to value saying what you mean and meaning what you say.   Practical Tip: When asked to take on work you want to decline, say this, “No. It's good work; but it's not my work.” And thank you for listening!    You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

A paediatrician who assessed 10-month-year-old Poseidyn Hemopo-Pickering, who died in 2020, says his injuries were so severe, it was like he'd been swung into a hard surface like a cricket bat.
