Podcasts about brickbat

When doing research for a recent live event, we uncovered yet another LA serial killer that hunted at the Barclay Hotel in DTLA. The Brickbat Slayer was responsible for several attacks and murders in both Los Angeles and Chicago in the mid to late 1930's. Tenacious police work and forensic evidence eventually linked his brutal crimes and brought the terror imposed on both of these thriving cities to an end. This week, the doctors re-visit serial killer Robert Nixon, aka “The Brickbat Slayer”, taking the opportunity to make a more incisive examination of his crimes and the spirit of the times in which he lived.

Today we dig into the origins and the history of America's Irish Mob.  We begin centuries ago in Ireland, when a series of oppressive, discriminatory laws designed to break the backs of the Irish and leave them too powerless to rebel against British rule, followed by the Great Famine that was greatly intensified by these same laws, led to hundreds of thousands of Irish fleeing the Emerald Isle for America to avoid certain death. Impoverished and often malnourished, these new immigrants were met with an increasing amount of anti-Irish sentiment in the United States, and to overcome this, they ended up banding together and working with gangsters and politicians who would help them get jobs and food in exchange for votes. And thus, the Irish mob was born. Cue 150+ years of underworld violence! We cover SO much territory today. A good one for both the true crime and the history lovers.

Hitting The High Notes is town planning's equivalent of Desert Island Discs. In these episodes Sam Stafford chats to preeminent figures in the planning and property sectors about the six planning permissions or projects that helped to shape them as professionals. And, so that we can get to know people a little better personally, for every permission or project Sam asks his guests for a piece of music that reminds them of that period of their career. Unlike Desert Island Discs you will not hear any of that music during the episode because using commercially-licensed music without the copyright holders permission or a very expensive PRS licensing agreement could land Sam in hot water, so, when you have finished listening to this episode, you will have to make do with YouTube videos and a Spotify playlist, links to which you will find below. Sam's guest for this episode of Hitting The High Notes is Aecom Director Ben Castell (@ben_castell). Their conversation takes in the New Deal For Communities; CABE; good practice design guides; the Housing Market Renewal Initiative and neighbourhood planning. Ben's song selections.

Here we are in the Black Museum, Scotland Yard’s museum of murder. Yes here lies death upon these tables, within these cabinets the files of death, labelled with day and date and name of victim. Here’s a brickbat, coarse grained, rough edged, familiar. Perhaps your own home is built of bricks exactly like this one. In this no home was built by such a brick, rather a home was destroyed by it. . . Duration: 22:09 Starring: Orson Welles Broadcast Date: 1952

Brickbat is a noun that refers to an uncomplimentary remark. Our word of the day is a portmanteau, meaning it combines more than one word. In this case, we get the combination of ‘brick’ and ‘bat’ to get a word that, when used literally, refers to a something used as a weapon. But when used figuratively, it may refer to something like an unkind remark. For example: My question about Chad’s tiny apartment wasn’t intended as a brickbat. I just wanted to know if it offered enough space to host the upcoming new year’s eve party.

It's a couple weeks later than I wanted, but Random Old Records is finally back! EPISODE #74 is a little bit messy. It's silly and sad, loud and soft, joyous and tense, goofy and awkward. Some of the transitions are a bit rough. There's some stuff here that sounds a little out-of-place if you're expecting hard-edged garage punk. Don't let all of that scare you off though, it's still loaded with jams!#74 kicks off with a set of classic Britpop, finishing up a with fresh track from Lush/Elastica/Moose supergroup Piroshka, then careens from electronic pop by Yumi Zouma to long-awaited new music from Australian punks UV Race, to blistering rage from Control Top, to sweet piano pop from Girl Ray, to old-school Random Old Records favorites like People's Temple and Teledrime, to a whole bunch more new and old rock n' roll. It's one of the most frantic and emotional episodes I've ever done, so enjoy the ride!Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to Random Old Records via Apple Podcasts, Google Play, or RSS.

In part two of Regrettable Villains we discuss Animal, Vegetable, Mineral Man, He-She, MODOK and more.  Every hero needs a villain. But not every villain comes with a cool costume, sinister pseudonym, or functioning death ray. Some super-crooks are incompetent, some are comical, and some are just . . . weird. In this follow-up to The League of Regrettable Superheroes, author Jon Morris presents over a hundred of the strangest, most stupefying supervillains ever to grace the pages of comics. Meet D-list desperados like Brickbat (choice of weapon: poisonous bricks), Swarm (a crook made of bees; Nazi bees), Robbing Hood (steals from the poor to give to the rich), plus a surprising number of law-breaking apes. Drawing on the entire history of the medium, The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains affectionately and hilariously profiles the oddeset oddballs in comic book history.

This week I bring you 3 more stories from The Black Museum hosted by Orson Welles. Every item in Scotland Yard's macabre archive is connected to an actual murder and this series brings those accounts to life. Any requests for a theme or if you want to help the show please click the links below and rate, review and share the podcast. FizzButton iTunes Patreon

Orson Welles hosted and narrated the shows. Mr. Welles opened each show slightly differently but followed a standard format. For example, the show, "The Bathtub", open as follows:"This is Orson Welles speaking from London." (Big Ben starts chiming in the background). "The Black Museum, repository of death... Here, in this grim stone structure on the Thames which houses Scotland Yard, is a warehouse of homocide, where everyday objects, a piece of wire, a chemist's flask, a silver shilling, all are touched by murder." (dramatic music) Following the opening, Mr. Welles would introduce the museum's item or items of evidence that was central to the case, leading into the dramatization. He also provided narration during the show and ended each show with his characteristic closing from the days of his Mercury Theater of the Air, remaining "obediently yours".
