They're in the books we read, the shows we watch, and the art we hang on our walls. They conjure notions of might, magic, romance, and more. Castles, perhaps as much as any other architectural structure in history, define the landscape of our fantasy and imagination. But is our imagination an accurate lens through which to view these fortresses of ol'? And why, after hundreds of years, does our culture's fascination with these structures seem to be on the rise? This hour, we speak with experts and enthusiasts about the reality and mystique of castles. GUESTS: Marc Morris: Medieval historian and author of books including Castles: Their History and Evolution in Medieval Britain Victor Lodato: Playwright, poet, and novelist whose books include Edgar and Lucy Edward Town: Assistant Curator of Paintings and Sculpture at the Yale Center for British Art Brent Bruns II: - Star of the hit National Geographic reality TV show "Doomsday Castle" The Colin McEnroe Show is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, TuneIn, Listen Notes, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Episode 292: Lori returns from her unforgettable trip to Scotland and Ireland—packed with castles, cobblestone streets, walking tours, pub chats, and even an ancient gospel manuscript. She and Vonda reflect on the joy of cultural exploration, the value of unplugging, and the unexpected tug of floral FOMO, even when you're surrounded by highland cows and Guinness.Back stateside, Vonda shares behind-the-scenes lessons from AIFD Symposium and what it means to lead with intentionality, observation, and personal invitation. Together, they dive into how volunteering, mentoring, and simply asking someone to step up can change everything—at work, in community, and beyond.Whether you're a flower pro, a traveler at heart, or someone who believes in learning from every experience—this episode reminds you how powerful it is to stay curious, stay connected, and say yes to new opportunities.Sponsored by: Flower CliqueFlower Clique Prep SchoolReal Life Retail Florist

Think America doesn't have castles? Think again. In this episode, we tour the strangest fortresses in the U.S. — from a Gilded Age mega-mansion with its own zip code, to a Texas castle built by a baker, to a Chicago hotel designed by a serial killer. You'll get heartbreak, egomania, imported ceilings, wine cellars, and one truly medieval waterpark.These aren't castles built for kings — they're built for love, for ghosts, and for pure American delusion.____________________________________S03 Ep117____________________________________Connect with us on social media: Instagram: @unscaledtravelshowTwitter: @fullmetaltravlrFacebook: @fullmetaltravelerWebsite: ⁠⁠https://www.unscaledtravelshow.com/

TCW Podcast Episode 237 - Jordan Mechner and Price of  Persia   We continue our look at Jordan Mechner with the development of Prince of Persia. Its cinematic inspirations include Castles of Dr. Creep, the opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the 1938 Robin Hood. To animate the prince, Mechner filmed his brother performing stunts, then manually painted key frames, painting his brother white and the background black to make the footage compatible with a limited digitizer. Memory constraints forced creative solutions, like XORing the prince and bit shifting him to create Shadow Man. A promising film project delayed the game's release, but Prince of Persia launched on the Apple II with groundbreaking animation.

In today's episode we will talk about the Imperative mood in Greek. Emily and Danai will first engage in a dialogue with suggestions of what to do in Thessaloniki and then explain the use of the Imperative mood.D: Emily, I want to visit Thessaloniki! What do you suggest I do there?E: Oh, perfect! You'll have an amazing time! First of all, take a walk along the beach to see the White Tower up close and climb all the way to the top. The view is incredible!D:I already love this idea! Where else should I go?E: Go to the Upper Town and the Castles. There, you'll see the Heptapyrgion, and of course, the view of the entire city from above. Also, visit the Hagia Sophia, the Rotunda, and the Church of Saint Demetrius—they're among the most historic churches in the city.D:I probably won't be able to do all of this in one day, right?Ε:Most likely not. It's better to plan on needing two to three days to see all of that, plus maybe visit a museum, like the Archaeological or Byzantine Museum, which are both in the city center.D: Alright then. What about food? What should I try?E: Well, definitely take a walk around Ladadika for lunch, and also go there in the evening for drinks. Of course, after that, for dessert, you should try "trigona Panorama," and for breakfast, at least once, have bougatsa with cream.D: Wow! Everything sounds delicious! There's no way I'm not trying "trigona"! Everyone's telling me about them!Ε: They're definitely amazing! But there are also lots of other syrupy sweets to try.D: Got it… I'm going for gastronomic tourism! Ε: Yes! And don't forget to walk around Aristotelous Square and have a freddo.D: Of course, I can't wait for a proper freddo espresso!Ε: You have to!D: It looks like I'll need to write all this down so I don't forget!Ε: Good idea! Make a list for each day so you can manage to see and do everything!D: I think I'll really like Thessaloniki because there's so much to see and do!Ε: Exactly!

For more than 400 years, Irish warfare was dominated by the Galloglass, elite Norse-Gael mercenary warriors who reshaped battles with their two-handed sparth axes and claymores. Why did Gaelic chieftains and Norman lords alike rely on these foreign fighters? And what drove the Galloglass to fight with such ferocity that English observers would later write, "When they strike they inflict a dreadful wound"?To find out more, Matt Lewis is joined by Fergus Cannan-Braniff, a descendant of Rob Roy MacGregor and Robert the Bruce, and author of Galloglass 1250-1600: Gaelic Mercenary Warrior.MORECastles and the Conquest of Irelandhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/4mQSY11BBAru3Q3tDQgXWAMedieval Ireland: Death & Politicshttps://open.spotify.com/episode/3sGKfux9jioLnvOUcydbovGone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis and edited by Amy Haddow.

In the 1920's and 30s, shark attacks off the coast of New South Wales, Australia were not an especially uncommon event. In 1935, however, Sydney's peaceful coastal charm was shattered by a grotesque discovery at the Coogee Aquarium that was anything but normal. A captured tiger shark, put on public display, vomited up a human arm—severed, tattooed, and unmistakably out of place. What began as a curiosity quickly spiraled into a chilling murder mystery involving gangsters, betrayal, and a body that was never found. SOURCES Roope, Phillip & Meagher, Kevin (2020) Shark Arm.

Shakespeare uses the word “castle” over 40 times in his works. He talks about sieging a castle, the power of castle walls, and even mentions specific real life castles by name including Berkley Castle and “Pomfret” castle which is another name for Pontefract Castle, along with at least a dozen more. These castles were prominent features in the landscape of Shakespeare's lifetime, playing roles both in their commanding presence on the visual horizon on the physical landscape, but also their place in society, monarchy, and the broader political landscape as well. In this week's episode we'll explore the castles of Shakespeare's lifetime, looking at which castles were actively in use around England, as well as what they were used for, major events that occurred there, and which of these architectural giants survive to the present day, allowing us to visit them centuries later. Here this week to take us on a tour of the real castles mentioned in Shakespeare's plays is our guest, Audrey Thorstad.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
