Podcasts about Biltmore Estate

Come with us on a road trip!  In this episode the Crew discusses their experiences as we toured the famed Biltmore Estate here in Asheville, North Carolina and visited the King Tutankhamen exhibit on the estate grounds. George Vanderbilt, grandson of shipping entrepreneur and industrialist Cornelius “the Commodore” Vanderbilt, began purchasing land in Asheville area in 1888 ending up with 125,000 acres for what would become his country estate. Vanderbilt hired architect Richard Morris Hunt to design and build the 250-room château, the largest single family home in the United States. The house opened to guests for the first time in December of 1895. Listen as we discuss the synchronicities that accompanied us on the drive to Asheville, as well as some of the spirits and energies we experienced inside the house and on the grounds of the estate. After having been introduced to the galactic Hathor beings through Joanna the Healer, each of the crew has gone on to develop their own personal relationship with them and have been told through channeling of the beings that we all share a connection to them and to ancient Egypt. With that information it becomes obvious why we all felt it necessary for us to experience the exhibit showcasing the structure of King Tut's sarcophagus and tomb, as well as all the treasures that were found inside together.    It is now possible to book 1:1 mediumship or energy healing sessions with your favorite Ohm-g Podcast Host.Check out everyone's offers here: https://ohm-gpodcast.com/products Check out our memberships!! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ohmgpodcastllc/membership  Check us out on Facebook @ohmgpodcast and Instagram @ohmg_podcast.  Send us an email at support@ohm-gpodcast.com to get on our mailing list for monthly virtual and live events.

Biltmore Estate, in Asheville, North Carolina (where I live!) is essentially a whole other world. Some liken it to a "Disneyland" for the more historically-centered. Its history is wrought with questionable choices but its legacy teaches us much about economic history as well as class struggles. In this episode I explore the planning and building orchestrated by its creator, George Vanderbilt. In Part Two later this month I'll explore life at Biltmore and how it became the tourist Mecca we know it as now.For further reading in environmental history around this time, as mentioned in the episode, I recommend: Natural Rivals by John Clayton.Look History in the Eye, MelbourneWe're a history podcast for Melbourne lovers.

As we look back on 2024, the WRAL Daily Download is revisiting some of our episodes from the year. Back in February, WRAL's Gerald Owens told us the story of Shiloh--a historically Black neighborhood in the Asheville area that you may know as the Biltmore Estate. We bring you that story and how the area is doing after Helene.

In this episode, we explore the fascinating legacy of the Vanderbilt family and their iconic Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Discover how Cornelius Vanderbilt, "The Commodore," built a fortune through steamboats and railroads during the Industrial Revolution, leaving a lasting impact on American infrastructure, culture, and philanthropy. Together we'll take a tour of the Biltmore Estate, the largest privately-owned home in the U.S., featuring 250 rooms, stunning gardens designed by Central Park's Frederick Law Olmsted, and modern innovations like indoor plumbing and electricity. You'll learn polite and casual ways to describe wealth in English, such as "affluent" or "filthy-stinkin' rich," while gaining insights into the Gilded Age—a term coined by Mark Twain to describe the era's wealth and inequality. What next? Plan a visit to experience the Blue Ridge Mountains, farm-to-table dining, and the country's most-visited winery, especially during the magical holiday season.

What role did Biltmore play in supporting the community during the Great Depression, WW2, and the current Hurricane Helene recovery efforts?

In this episode, we're uncovering ten of North Carolina's most haunted locations. From historic mansions to eerie battlefields, the Tar Heel State has a spooky side that's filled with restless spirits and chilling legends. So, grab your flashlight and settle in as we explore some of North Carolina's darkest haunts. Featured Locations: Biltmore Estate Asheville, NC The opulent Biltmore Estate, built in 1895, is the largest privately-owned home in the U.S. But behind its grand halls and stunning gardens lies a haunted past. Visitors often report seeing George Vanderbilt's shadowy figure in the library and hearing strange splashes in the mansion's empty pool. Battleship North Carolina 1 Battleship Rd NE, Wilmington, NC 28401 This famed World War II battleship is known for ghostly sightings, particularly that of a young sailor who died in an accident. Guests have heard phantom footsteps echoing through the corridors and chilling sounds of distant gunfire, as if the ship is still engaged in battle. Brown Mountain Lights Blue Ridge Parkway, Linville Gorge, NC The Brown Mountain Lights have been a mystery for centuries, with glowing orbs floating over Brown Mountain. Legends suggest they are the spirits of fallen soldiers or lost Native American warriors, forever wandering the mountain in search of home. Omni Grove Park Inn 290 Macon Ave, Asheville, NC 28804 This historic hotel is home to the Pink Lady, the spirit of a woman who fell from the fifth floor in the 1920s. Known for her friendly demeanor, she's often seen on the fifth floor or playing harmless pranks on hotel guests. Devil's Tramping Ground 4900 Devil's Tramping Ground Rd, Bear Creek, NC 27207 A barren circle in the woods where nothing will grow, the Devil's Tramping Ground is said to be the place where the Devil himself paces at night. Visitors report objects mysteriously moving from the circle, and an overwhelming sense of dread lingers around this strange spot. Great Dismal Swamp North Carolina-Virginia Border The fog-shrouded Great Dismal Swamp is rumored to be haunted by the souls of those who sought refuge here centuries ago. Visitors often report eerie lights and ghostly figures floating through the dense wilderness, forever lost in the swamp's depths. Maco Light Maco, NC The ghostly light of conductor Joe Baldwin's lantern is said to float along the old train tracks in Maco, where he met his untimely death. Though the tracks are long gone, the light is still seen by those who dare to visit, swinging as if held by an invisible hand. Lydia's Bridge Jamestown, NC Legend has it that Lydia, a young woman killed in a car accident in the 1920s, still hitchhikes near this bridge on rainy nights. Drivers who pick her up say she disappears just as they approach her home, leaving only a chill in the air. Bentonville Battlefield 5466 Harper House Rd, Four Oaks, NC 27524 Site of a bloody Civil War battle, Bentonville Battlefield is said to be haunted by the spirits of fallen soldiers. Apparitions in ragged uniforms and the sounds of musket fire have been reported by visitors walking these hallowed grounds. Bellamy Mansion 503 Market St, Wilmington, NC 28401 Built in 1859, the Bellamy Mansion is home to the spirit of Mary Bellamy, who is often seen on the grand staircase. The mansion's basement is also rumored to be haunted by a former servant, with eerie sounds and voices frequently heard.

On either coast of the United States, you can see grand monuments to financial empires. The spectacular Biltmore Estate is in North Carolina. Hearst Castle is in northern California on 127 acres of gardens. These two places were built by wealthy, powerful men. But nobody resides in them anymore. They are show places for tourists to visit. They're not really even homes. You don't need a mansion to create a home. What counts is not elaborate luxury, but the love and peace at its heart. An old saying goes, “The family that prays together stays together.” There is a lot of truth in that. If we parents love each other and our children, if we teach them about God and His love for them, if we lead them with scriptural principles, we will create a place where the family can flourish. We will have a home. This is Andrew Palau. "Direct your children onto the right path,  and when they are older, they will not leave it."

But there's an elusive artisan in the Blue Ridge Mountains who could save her--if only she can find her. To track the mysterious weaver down, Lorna sees no other way but to seek out the relationships she abandoned in shame. As she pulls at each tangled thread from her old life, Lorna is forced to confront the wounds and regrets of long ago. She'll have to risk the job that shapes her identity as well as the hope of friendship--and love--restored. In this seamlessly woven historical tale, award-winning Appalachian author Sarah Loudin Thomas delivers a poignant novel of friendship, artistry, restoration, and second chances.Get your copy of These Tangled Threads by Sarah Loudin Thomas.Sarah Loudin Thomas grew up on a 100-acre farm in French Creek, WV, the seventh generation to live there.

In today's episode of Book Talk with Cara, it's a delight to introduce you to Sarah Loudin Thomas and take you behind the scenes of her latest book These Tangled Threads. I so enjoyed chatting with her because we talked about a novel set at one of my favorite locations, the Biltmore Estate. What I didn't know before our conversation was that Sarah had worked at the Biltmore for about six years, and that love and passion for the history of America's castle comes through loud and clear. She also works with youth, and her experience working with children who have overcome trauma and abandonment is woven through These Tangled Threads as well. Her passion for uncovering and weaving these Appalachian-based stories is so real and captivating. There is an energy that comes through in the way she talks about them. Each evening she writes one thousand words as she builds to her story. And that rhythm leads to the book. Her advice to new writers. Just do it. You'll get to your book.

New episode out now! We watched the 1980 mystery comedy The Private Eyes, starring Tim Conway and Don Knotts. We debate what the movie was aiming for between mystery and satire, wonder who the audience was intended to be, have issues figuring out if things were jokes or clues, and perhaps read too much into the actual plot. We learn the script was written in two days, and then subsequently wonder if the casting of two beloved comedy actors did a lot of the work in pumping up the humor of the film. We also feel that the Biltmore Estate lent a lot to the visuals, have issues with the casual '70s racism, think Mel Brooks was a big influence, and really like the Scooby-Doo of it all - with the epitome of a mysterious cloaked figure. Katy worried that ghosts were real, Carrie doesn't think Don Knotts is funny, Maddy has Biltmore blindness, and Mack knows who Richard Nixon is. We talk about Vulcan humor and what is unintentionally funny about old Star Trek, lament that it's difficult for kids today to learn about older pop culture, pitch The Carol Burnett Show TikTok, and channel The Mickey Mouse Club. We also cover castle architecture, funny pigeon bits, air quotes, Old Glory, and secret passages. Give it a listen and enjoy!

or..."It's Not Always Easy to Be a Smithsonian"-- Well, this gang is a bunch of total suckers for old Hollywood. We do live in L.A. and Palm Springs after all. And we also fall for a movie with a good budget. This one had that--or at least was HELLA sponsored by THE BILTMORE ESTATE! DID WE MENTION THE BILMORE ESTATE?! Which Beth hasn't been to, Richie has been to, Paige has been outside of, but which her grandmother deemed too expensive so instead they went to the Grove Park Inn. So it was nice to spend time there. We also all love a good time travel! So if you haven't watched this one, we recommend it!This one still didn't have enough seals for Richie.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Dec 3rd  Publish Date:  Dec 1st  HENSSLER 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Sunday, December 3rd and Happy heavenly Birthday to musician Andy Williams. ***12.03.23 - BIRTHDAY - ANDY WILLIAMS*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Peggy Slappy Properties. Over a third of young adults had anxiety or depression during pandemic Study says vegan diet can help rapidly improve heart health Mark Stoops says Kentucky fought the wrong battle in the SEC scheduling war All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Peggy Slappy STORY 1: Over a third of young adults had anxiety or depression during pandemic A study by Northwestern University found that people aged over 40 experienced lower levels of anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic than their younger counterparts. Over one-third of young adults were highly stressed during the pandemic, with anxiety and depression rates significantly higher among those aged 18 to 39 compared to those over 40. The study revealed that 40 percent of young adults had anxiety, and 33 percent had depression, compared to 31 percent and 24 percent, respectively, for those over 40. Economic precarity and responses to social upheaval were identified as factors contributing to young adults' worse mental well-being. STORY 2: Vegan diet can help rapidly improve heart health: study A study by Stanford University found that adopting a vegan diet for eight weeks significantly improved heart health, with the most substantial changes occurring in the first four weeks. The research focused on identical twins to eliminate genetic and upbringing variables. Participants on the vegan diet showed lower cholesterol levels, insulin, and body weight compared to omnivores. Vegan participants experienced a 20 percent drop in fasting insulin, reducing diabetes risk, and lost an average of 4.2 pounds more than omnivores. The study emphasized that incorporating more plant-based foods into one's diet could offer health benefits, even if not adopting a strictly vegan lifestyle. STORY 3: Mark Story: In the SEC football scheduling war, has Kentucky fought the wrong battle? The Southeastern Conference (SEC) football championship game between No. 1 Georgia and No. 8 Alabama will mark the end of an era, as the SEC is scrapping divisions, coinciding with the arrival of Oklahoma and Texas in 2024-25. The new format will feature the top two teams in the league's 16-team standings. Stoops argues that preserving the divisional split would have been more beneficial for Kentucky's football future. The SEC's current division era, in place since 1992, has provided meaningful annual rivalries, competitive balance, and geographic proximity. The article suggests that the focus on creating more diversity in scheduling within the league may not be worth sacrificing the advantages of the divisional format.

We'll be right back Break 2: MOG – TOM WAGES – DTL STORY 4: Could immigrants be America's new swing voter group? A nationwide survey conducted by The Times in partnership with KFF reveals a degree of ambivalence among immigrants, a group considered part of the Democratic base. While many lean Democratic, a significant number are not strongly attached to either major party. The survey, conducted among more than 3,300 immigrants, reflects the diversity of political views within this demographic. Overwhelming majorities indicated that their financial situation improved after moving to the U.S., challenging the conventional wisdom surrounding immigrants' partisan allegiance. The findings highlight a potential swing group among immigrants, showcasing their varied political perspectives and a willingness to consider alternatives. STORY 5: Christmas at Biltmore remains a beloved holiday tradition Biltmore House, the 250-room mansion built by George Vanderbilt, continues its long-standing Christmas tradition, inviting guests to experience the holiday enchantment with twinkling lights, ornaments, and hand-decorated Christmas trees. The estate, set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, offers the Christmas at Biltmore Daytime Celebration from Nov. 3 to Jan. 7, allowing visitors to tour the house, gardens, conservatory, winery, and Antler Hill Village. The Candlelight Christmas Evenings, running from Nov. 3 to Jan. 6, provides an Old World charm with thousands of lights, a 55-foot Norway spruce tree, and luminaries lining the walkways. The estate also features the Italian Renaissance Alive exhibition until Jan. 7, and special stay packages at the Inn on Biltmore Estate and Village Hotel. We'll be back in a moment Break 3:  JACKSON - INGLES 9 – ESOG STORY 6: Beverage Lab exhibit debuts at World of Coke The World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta introduces a new and immersive experience, the Beverage Lab, making it an even more compelling destination for the holiday season. The interactive exhibit allows visitors to actively participate in exploring the science, creativity, and innovation behind Coca-Cola's diverse lineup of drinks. The Beverage Lab features sections like "Look Inside," demystifying flavor creation and carbonation science; "Taste the Past," where visitors can sample classic drinks from Coca-Cola's vault, including New Coke; and "Shape the Future," where opinions on potential soft-drink formulas can be shared. Admission to Beverage Lab is included with general admission to the museum, offering various attractions. STORY 7: State Senate study committee recommends repealing CON law The Senate Study Committee on Certificate of Need (CON) Reform in Georgia has recommended repealing the state law governing hospital construction and medical services, concluding that the decades-old CON law hampers advances in health-care delivery, especially in rural areas. Georgia's CON law, in place since 1979, requires applicants for new medical facilities or health-care services to demonstrate the need to the state Department of Community Health. The committee's recommendation includes repealing the CON law or introducing reform measures that exempt certain healthcare services and facilities from the CON process, aiming to enhance healthcare delivery in the state. We'll have final thoughts after this. Break 4: Henssler 60 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

It's finally here! The Thanksgiving long weekend AND of course, A Biltmore Christmas. Mary and Sarah sit down to chat through the most anticipated Hallmark Christmas movie ever. Did it live up to expectations? What's the story of Biltmore anyway? How should we #redpenrewrite it? Have a listen....but as a preview #morepolaha !! Bring on the movie within a movie!! Lucy Hardgrove (Joy Lenz) is a screenwriter who lands the job of a lifetime when she's hired to pen the script for a remake of the beloved holiday movie, His Merry Wife! First filmed in 1947 at beautiful, historic Biltmore House, it has long been considered a Christmas classic. When the head of the studio isn't satisfied with the ending Lucy wrote because it deviates from the original's feel-good conclusion, he sends Lucy to Biltmore Estate for research and inspiration. While there, she unwittingly discovers the ability to travel to the 1947 set of His Merry Wife! through the help of an hourglass. After shaking off the initial shock of this turn of events, Lucy embraces this as her chance to uncover the truth about the movie's original ending. While on set, she and Jack Huston (Kristoffer Polaha), one of the film's stars, spend time together and become close. But her sudden appearance has set off a chain of events that put the production in jeopardy. Before she can return to the present, Lucy must make things right or threaten to alter the future forever. Starring Bethany Joy Lenz and Kristoffer Polaha.

After hiking hundreds of miles, volunteering for the park service, and earning certification as a naturalist/environmental educator, Marci wrote Clingmans Dome, Highest Mountain in the Great Smokies, Pisgah National Forest: a History, Nantahala National Forest: a History, and Pisgah Inn---all published by Arcadia/History Press.

Segment 3, August 5th, 2023 It's always fun to watch a project grow.  Over here at the Carolina Outdoors program, we've had the opportunity to visit with, learn from, & be entertained by a wide grouping of people. One of those people heads up Wild Bearings, is the author of a popular book at Jesse Brown's, Fly Fishing the Blue Ridge Parkway, NC Section. From that book came lectures, webcasts, and now a new undertaking, a new TV show on The Country Network - Wild Bearings Outdoors. Season one is in the books and season two is being planned now - first episode to be shot on the Biltmore Estate private waters. A discussion of how the book turned into a TV series. https://wildbearings.com/pages/webinars-points-of-interest with Sam Johnson. Johnson's YouTube presentations were noticed by management at the The Country Network which led to six episodes for the first season & has now been picked up for a second season. We'll learn how lighting, the setting, & the cooperation of the fish is a part of making a show.  Plus, Sam's show has a focus beyond just fishing.  A lot talks about the history of the watershed, the ecosystem, & the people & organizations that are a part of it.  He also talks about some of his favorite places not just to fish but to film & story tell a show. We'll find out about something that is required via digital and video programs:  Bloopers Learn Sam Johnson's answer when he's asked about the famed professional Bass fisherman & television angler Bill Dance bloopers that still air.  We'll find out if Wild Bearings Outdoors has any of those?

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Wednesday July 5 Publish Date: Monday July 3 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast Today is Wednesday July 5th , and happy 73rd birthday to singer Huey Lewis ****Lewis 73****   I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Mall Of Georgia Chrysler Dodge Jeep 1. Gwinnett County Public Schools will hold first 2023 millage rate hearing on Wednesday 2. Chattahoochee River closure expanded amid sewage spill 3. Breakthrough may lead to individualized breast cancer treatments   Plus, Leah McGrath of Ingles Markets talks with Bruce Jenkins about cutting back on soda.   All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.   Break 1 : Slappey   Story 1. millage   Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia will hold public hearings regarding the proposed millage rate for school taxes. The school board has tentatively adopted a 19.2-mill maintenance and operations millage rate and a 1.45-mill debt service millage rate, maintaining the rates at their 2022 levels. The millage rates fund the school system's day-to-day operations and pay down long-term debt from bond referenda. The rates determine property tax amounts, with the school system's millage rate comprising the largest portion. Despite the rates remaining the same, increased property values will result in higher school taxes. The hearings aim to gather community feedback.   STORY 2: sewage   Federal authorities have closed sections of the Chattahoochee River in Cobb and Fulton counties due to a sewage spill in Roswell causing high levels of E. coli bacteria. The closure includes all areas of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area south of the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Water quality tests have revealed E. coli levels exceeding the recommended limit for recreation. The park is collaborating with Chattahoochee Riverkeeper and local authorities to address the spill and has reported it to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. Direct contact with the affected areas should be avoided until further notice to prevent health risks associated with E. coli infection. Story 3: Scientists have made a breakthrough in identifying genetic mutations that explain why some patients with the most common form of breast cancer do not respond to treatment. The study specifically focused on estrogen receptor-positive, HER2 (ER+/HER2) breast cancer, which is typically treated with hormonal therapies. The research found that around 20% of tumors resist treatment from the start, and up to 40% develop resistance over time. The findings suggest that personalized breast cancer treatments could be developed based on a person's genetic makeup. This discovery is particularly significant for young women, who are more likely to develop aggressive tumors......……..we'll be right back   Break 2: M.O.G. - Tom Wages - Obits     Story 4: Bice   Roger Bice, a Grayson resident, has been teaching piano and voice lessons for 50 years, impacting students around the world. He was recently honored for his five decades of music education by the Lawrenceville-Suwanee School of Music. Bice's musical career includes teaching at various levels, performing at prestigious venues, and serving as a worship pastor. He has had notable experiences such as performing at Carnegie Hall and entertaining at the Biltmore Estate. Despite being 72 years old, Bice has no plans to retire and continues to teach part-time while expressing his love for music and desire to celebrate 60 years in the field.   Story 5: health   New research from the University of Georgia reveals that foods like melon, peppers, pumpkin, and corn, along with carrots, can improve vision in low-light conditions. These foods contain lutein and zeaxanthin, compounds that accumulate in the retina and enhance eye health and functional vision. Athletes, in particular, benefit from improved visual range, which allows them to see targets clearly over a distance. Lutein and zeaxanthin act as filters to prevent blue light interference and can enhance athletes' ability to track objects against the sky in sports like baseball. However, the absorption and effects of these compounds vary among individuals, and it may take time to notice any improvements. Nonetheless, the potential benefits for athletes are significant.   Story 6: Tobin   Former Arizona Cardinals head coach and defensive coordinator Vince Tobin passed away at the age of 79. The cause of death was not disclosed. Tobin had a mixed tenure as head coach of the Cardinals from 1996 to 2000, compiling a record of 28-43. He led the team to one winning season in 1998, which included a playoff victory. Prior to his head coaching role, Tobin served as the defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears from 1986 to 1992, working under Mike Ditka. He also held defensive coordinator positions in the CFL, USFL, Indianapolis Colts, and Detroit Lions. Tobin was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in 2008.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: Fernbank (nature of color spot) -ESOG – Ingles 3     Story 7: Leah   And Now, Leah McGrath of Ingles Markets talks with us about cutting back on soda   ****Leah****   We'll have final thoughts after this   Break 4: Lawrenceville Henssler 60 Thanks again for listening to today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.
