"Insurance companies are the wealthiest businesses, wealthier than banks and even countries. It seems very scammy." This listener question captures what most people think about insurance - and why they're wrong about life insurance.Hans and Brian examine contract law to explain why life insurance operates under completely different legal protections than the car and home insurance that's given the industry its bad reputation. From centuries of case law to the incontestability clause, this episode reveals the legal guidelines protecting policyholders.When courts consistently rule against insurance companies and companies are required to maintain 100% reserves plus reinsurance, it's not a coincidence that no whole life insurance beneficiary has ever gone unpaid. The math, the law, and the business model all align to protect you in ways most people never understand.The Contract That Can't Be Negotiated (And Why That's Good for You)Life insurance contracts are "contracts of adhesion" - you can't negotiate terms, it's take it or leave it. Since the insurance company writes the entire contract and you have no bargaining power, courts heavily favor policyholders in every dispute. Centuries of case law have built an almost impenetrable wall of consumer protection.Warranties vs. Representations: The Historical Shift in Your FavorIn the 1700s, maritime insurance contracts used "warranties" - black and white statements that could void your policy for any breach. If you warranted your ship would sail with convoy protection and it sailed alone, coverage was nullified regardless of circumstances. Modern life insurance has evolved to use "representations" instead, requiring proof of intentional misrepresentation, materiality to the contract, and knowledge of falsity. The burden of proof is entirely on the insurance company.The Two-Year Window: Your Contestability ProtectionInsurance companies have exactly two years to challenge a policy for misrepresentation. After that window closes, even suicide is covered. This isn't arbitrary - it reflects the legal reality that life changes too much after two years to fairly challenge original statements. The contestability clause protects both parties: it gives companies time for due diligence while preventing indefinite claim challenges.Why "100% Reserves" Isn't Like BankingUnlike fractional reserve banking where your deposits aren't fully backed, life insurance operates on full reserves for current liabilities. Your policy's cash value must be available immediately - no exceptions. Future death benefits are covered through reinsurance and state guarantee funds, creating multiple layers of protection that banking simply doesn't have.➡️ Chapters: 00:00 - Military waste and efficiency (the stark contrast to insurance) 07:00 - Listener question: Why trust insurance companies? 13:00 - Property insurance vs. life insurance: Different games entirely 17:00 - Contract law foundations: Why courts favor policyholders19:00 - Warranties vs. representations: The historical evolution 26:00 - The incontestability clause: Your two-year protection window 35:00 - Unilateral contracts: Only one party has obligations 38:00 - Contract of adhesion: Why you can't negotiate (and don't want to)46:00 - Reserve requirements: 100% backing vs. fractional banking 52:00 - Reinsurance and state guarantee funds: Multiple safety nets 55:00 - Actuarial math: Why conservative assumptions create dividends 58:00 - Points of failure: Safety assets vs. speculationGot Questions?

This week on Crimes of the Centuries, we're breaking from tradition. Instead of a crime from decades past, we're looking at a case that's still shaping headlines — and raising questions that may take years to answer. When Boston police officer John O'Keefe was found dead in the snow outside a fellow cop's home, his girlfriend, Karen Read, was accused of running him down with her SUV in a fit of drunken rage. Prosecutors said it was an open-and-shut case. But as two trials unfolded, evidence of sloppy policing, possible cover-ups, and investigative misconduct began to surface. With insights from journalist Rebecca Lavoie, we examine the tangled relationships, explosive allegations, and courtroom battles that turned this into one of the most contentious cases Massachusetts has ever seen. Will history remember the death of John O'Keefe as a tragic accident, a conspiracy, or a crime of the century?

This Sunday Pastor Josh Kelsey shows us how complaining is more than words, it's poison that delays the promise. Israel's grumbling in the wilderness revealed unbelief, but God's response was both strange and beautiful: look and live. Healing didn't come from striving harder but from fixing their eyes on the serpent lifted on the pole. Centuries later, Jesus fulfills this moment on the cross becoming the curse so we could be free. True freedom isn't the absence of snakes, it's the presence of a Savior who breaks their power. Stop fighting the snakes. Stop striving. Lift your eyes to Jesus, the One who heals.

In 1981, 21-year-old Danny Hansford was shot and killed inside one of Savannah's grandest mansions. The man who pulled the trigger, antiques dealer Jim Williams, claimed self-defense. What followed was a legal circus resulting in four high-profile trials. Then, less than a year later after the dust settled, Williams was dead. This is the case that inspired Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, the bestselling book that turned Savannah into a gothic brand. But the real story is messier than the myth.

Israel was hiding in fear, oppressed by the Midianites, when God called Gideon—an ordinary man threshing wheat in secret. Gideon doubted himself, asking, “How can I save Israel? I am the least.” But God answered, “I will be with you.” Through signs and patience, God turned Gideon's weakness into strength. Centuries later, Peter reminded believers that this same divine power gives us everything we need for life and godliness. He urged us to grow in faith, adding goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, affection, and love. Together these passages declare: God calls the weak, equips the ordinary, and transforms doubt into bold faith so we can live fruitful lives and fulfill His purpose.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Once the dream was a chicken in every pot and a car in the driveway. Today it's Kardashians, crypto, and curated excess—fantasies without a staircase.The American Dream used to be modest, and that was its strength. A chicken in every pot, a house in the suburbs, a car in the garage, kids who might do a little better than their parents. It wasn't glamorous, but it was believable. A ladder you could climb rung by rung: steady work, a paid-off mortgage, kids who graduated without a lifetime of debt.That phrase—“a chicken in every pot”—has its own history. It traces back to Henri IV of France, who supposedly wished that even the poorest peasants could afford a chicken on Sundays. Centuries later, Republicans revived it in 1928, boasting of prosperity: chicken in every pot, a car in every backyard. Hoover never said it himself, but the promise clung to him—so much so that in the Depression, “Hoovervilles” and “Hoover flags” mocked the gap between slogan and reality. The line survived because it was modest, plausible. Not silk socks and yachts—just chicken and a car.But that plausibility collapsed in the late 20th century. The postwar boom built suburbs on one salary, then wages stalled, housing spiked, health care and college ballooned out of reach. By the 2008 crash, the Dream itself looked like a trap. Millions saw the ladder pulled out from under them—homes foreclosed, equity erased, savings gone. The modest ranch house, once the symbol of stability, became the scene of mass eviction.Into the vacuum rushed social media. Where TV once sold middle-class sitcoms, Instagram sells penthouses, yachts, and Bali retreats—always framed as attainable, always staged by “people just like you.” The Kardashians and their copycats turned success into spectacle, training us to measure ourselves against an airbrushed elite. What was once aspirational now feels punitive: if you don't match the feed, you've failed.Meanwhile, the millionaires next door are invisible. In places like Arlington, Virginia, they're ex-government workers who did 30 years, maxed their retirement accounts, and bought houses decades ago. They drive Camrys, cook at home, and quietly cross the million-dollar mark on paper. But that doesn't trend. It isn't cinematic. Our culture keeps inflating the definition of success—first $1 million, then $10 million, now $100 million—as if stability itself no longer counts.And here's the second lie: that burn rate doesn't matter. We're told that buying Starbucks every day doesn't block you from owning a home. But it does. Small habits compound, just like savings and compound interest. The “millionaire next door” built wealth by living modestly, not by chasing Instagram lifestyles. That truth is boring, so we bury it under envy and excuses.So we are trapped between two illusions: the fantasy of instant luxury and the consumer gospel that spending freely is harmless. Both erase the modest, achievable dream that once defined America. The tragedy isn't that the Dream died. It's that it was replaced with one that has no ladder. A chicken in the pot and a car in the driveway were never glamorous, but they were real. The penthouse in Malibu and the private jet to Tulum are not just unreachable—they are designed to be.Without a ladder, a dream is only a taunt.

Host Natalie Grueninger welcomes historian Helene Harrison to explore how Anne Boleyn crafted her image and how it was reshaped after her death. They discuss Anne's coronation symbolism, self-fashioning, and efforts by Henry VIII's court to win public favour. The conversation examines key portraits and artefacts—from the Hever Rose portrait and the Chequers ring to the 1534 medal—and the ongoing debates around their dating and identification. Helen traces contemporary reactions at home and abroad, Anne's reappearance in Elizabeth I's reign, and the clash between Nicholas Sander and John Foxe. She then follows Anne's evolving legacy through Stuart drama, Victorian myth‑making, and modern screen portrayals, including Anne of the Thousand Days, The Tudors, Wolf Hall, and Six the Musical. Helene also shares details of her new book, The Many Faces of Anne Boleyn, teases a forthcoming study of Henry VIII's Great Matter, and offers a lighthearted Tudor-themed reading recommendation.  Visit Helene's blog https://tudorblogger.com/author/tudorblogger/ Find out more about your host at https://www.nataliegrueninger.com Support Talking Tudors on Patreon

In “Virginia Public Schools Serve Indigenous Cuisine,” Gravy producer Anya Groner takes listeners to the second annual Indigenous Peoples Feast at the College of William & Mary. The evening's menu showcases indigenous food–foraged wild rice, duck confit, acorn grits, and a four-corn stew. But these dishes aren't just for enjoying tonight. With the help of a USDA grant, they'll eventually be served at public school cafeterias in Virginia's coastal Tidewater Region. Coming up with the menu wasn't easy. Centuries of forced assimilation, land grabs, and genocide prevented cultural knowledge from being passed down through generations. Designed by Chef Diosa Hall from the Mohawk Nation and Chef Joe Rocchi from the Pamunkey Tribe, the meal combined native plants and fowl from the Eastern Seaboard with contemporary culinary trends, emphasizing the entire production process, from tiny seed to plated meal. Volunteers foraged herbs like plantain and bergamot. Hunters donated ducks. Growers harvested sustainably farmed vegetables. Scaling up the supply chain to make these ingredients available to hundreds of schools could take two or three decades. Dr. Troy Wiipongwii is the Director of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Conservation at the College of William and Mary and a founding member of the Traditional Eastern Woodlands Foodways Alliance, the intertribal group leading this program. He says sustainable foods cost almost double to produce, but they're worth it. Agricultural systems like food forests not only rebuild ecosystems, but they also produce nutrient-dense food that's healthier to eat. Wiipongwii put together a K-12 curriculum integrating indigenous foodways into science, math, health, and humanities to change attitudes around food production. Chef Hall believes making native foods available in public schools will give indigenous students a sense of belonging. That's especially important because schools haven't always been welcoming places for Native children. For centuries, residential schools took children from Native families and forced them to learn European culture and adopt Christianity. Hall hopes the new menu she helped put together will reclaim some of the cultural practices targeted by the residential schools. Listen to find out what it will take to keep indigenous food traditions visible in the nation's cultural landscape—and how kids rate acorn grits and butternut squash against the typical school lunch.

Bella Wright was a shy, working-class woman whose life was cut short on a summer night in 1919, just short of her 22nd birthday. At first, her death looked like a tragic accident – until a single bullet found lodged in the dirt road changed everything. What followed was a century-long mystery involving an unshaven man on a distinctive green bicycle, a suspiciously dismantled frame dredged from a river, and a murder trial that gripped the nation. With early forensics, conflicting testimony and possible testimony that came too late, this is a case that refuses to rest.

Laura Fair wanted what many women in Gilded-Age San Francisco wanted: security, respectability, and a husband who told the truth. What she got instead was a years-long affair and a heap of public scorn. When a single gunshot rang out aboard a crowded ferry, it set off a national debate about morality, madness, and how far a woman could be pushed. Based on real letters, real lies, and a courtroom drama that captivated 19th century America.

Hear about travel to the Silk Road as the Amateur Traveler talks about his recent trip to the Gansu province of China, Buddhist Grottos, stunning landscapes, barren deserts, and the original Great Wall of China. More than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty sent his prodigy general Huo Qubing to seize the Hexi Corridor from the Xiongnu nomads, founding four fortified outposts—Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang—that anchored the eastern Silk Road. Centuries later, the monk Xuanzang left Lanzhou for India along the same desert corridor, returning with Sanskrit scriptures that reshaped Chinese Buddhism. Following their footsteps today reveals grottoes, Great Wall forts, and rainbow-striped badlands that still echo with the sounds of camel bells and caravan legends.

You'd think the guy helping build the deadliest weapon in history would be someone the Allies vetted carefully. You'd be wrong. Klaus Fuchs was a physicist, a refugee, and a trusted member of the Manhattan Project. He was also a Soviet spy. His quiet betrayal helped the USSR test its first atomic bomb years ahead of schedule—ending America's monopoly on nuclear weapons and setting the stage for the Cold War. All in the name of “peace.” "Crimes of the Centuries" is a podcast from Grab Bag Collab exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.

Paul in writing to the Romans speaks about “the power of God”. What does he mean? He is not referring to physical power such as will be shown at the time Jesus returns when the greatest earthquake ever (Rev. 16 v.18) and other terrible events will occur.In today's reading in Romans, Paul writes of the gospel saying, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes “ [1 v.16].Paul's point is that the Gospel makes sense, compared to the nonsense surrounding the many gods (of human imagination) the Romans, and all except the Jews, believed in.Today, we can say it makes sense – compared to the nonsense that so many teach about evolution which more and more willingly accept as true. They think that everything that exists, sort of created itself, and there is no need for a creator God. Much of this attitude seems to be motivated by a desire to be free of the restrictions God's laws impose on their lives.A particular example of this is evident at the moment. In Ch. 1 v.26,27 Paul particularly singles out acts of homosexuality – writing “Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity to the dishonouring of their bodies … “ The fact that more and more Governments are legalizing same-sex “marriages” would horrify those living a generation or two ago! But most of all – what must God think!? What action will he take?But we need to also realise that to believe a gospel about believer's having a future life in heaven is also nonsense and, as a falsehood, has no power at all. It is only the gospel God revealed to men through his son that has “power”- because it is truth.It is based on historical fact, because the events of the First Century and what followed,make sense the more we think about what is written. The conviction of many people became so strong it had the power to turn the beliefs of the pagan Roman world upside down in the 2nd & 3rd Centuries – but sadly, then the Gospel became corrupted and expressed in Man-made creeds. .We must let this gospel become a power in our lives – if we are to really live a life worth living with the wonderful prospect of eternity. We must not let ourselves be influenced by those who scoff at “the power of God.”

On this episode, we take another look at contributor Steph Machado's story about inmates learning the language of computers, also known as coding. Then, a second look at Pamela Watts' story on how whaling logs from the 19th century are helping modern-day scientists track weather patterns and assess changes in the climate. Finally, in our continuing My Take series, we meet again Rhode Island Quahogger Jody King who tells us everything we need to know about Quahogs, Rhode Island's favorite clam

Nestled on the northern Sword Coast, between Neverwinter Wood and the Sword Mountains, is the town of Phandalin. Centuries ago, Phandalin was a thriving settlement with deep ties to its neighboring communities. But then bandits overran the town, and Phandalin lay abandoned for centuries.Only in the past few years have settlers built a new village on the ruins of the old. These townsfolk hope to grow Phandalin through hard work, camaraderie, and the shared purpose of building a lasting home. Threatening their efforts and their survival are bandits, brigands, and monsters.We are playing the new rules of Dnd 2024

Nestled between water and foliage, the Château d'Azay-le-Rideau seems like a stone dream set on the Indre River. But behind its harmonious facades lies a more turbulent history, marked by ambition, upheaval, and rebirth. Built at the dawn of modern times, transformed, saved, and almost lost, it has silently stood the test of time. This story gives voice to the builders, the forgotten, and the saviors of one of the most subtle jewels of the Loire Valley.Teaser image DR © clemMTravelSound: Com d'Archi podcast___If you like the podcast do not hesitate:. to subscribe so you don't miss the next episodes,. to leave us stars and a comment :-),. to follow us on Instagram @comdarchipodcast to find beautiful images, always chosen with care, so as to enrich your view on the subject.Nice week to all of you !

In 1974, 28-year-old Karen Silkwood left her home with a binder full of evidence and a plan to blow the whistle on dangerous conditions at the plutonium plant where she worked. She never arrived. What followed was a national uproar, a swirl of conspiracy theories, and a battle over the truth that still echoes today.

What was it like to be a Christian in the earliest centuries after the resurrection of Christ? How did theological thinking and the understandings of authority develop? Dr. George Kalantzis helps us consider the layers of complexity that early Christians wrestled with as the church was established. George points out the important place of canon, creeds, apostolicity and ethics, underpinned by submission to the Holy Spirit. Born and raised in Athens, Greece, George brings a unique perspective to the study of the patristic period, so bring your questions into the classroom for “The First Christian Centuries” (July 28–Aug 1). You can also catch his Evening Public Lecture on July 28 at 7:30 pm: Migration and Refugees (and the Re-humanizing Role of the Church).Note: At 49:50, Dr. Kalantzis references Project 1611, but he intended to say Project 1619 and the 1776 Commission when reflecting on competing historical narratives in the United States.George's BioDr. George Kalantzis is Professor of Theology and Director of The Wheaton Center for Early Christian Studies at Wheaton College. A native of Athens, Greece, he specializes in historical theology with a focus on early Christianity, particularly the development of Christological and Trinitarian thought, ecclesial ethics, and the Church's engagement with Greco-Roman culture. Dr. Kalantzis is the author and editor of several volumes, including Caesar and the Lamb: Early Christian Attitudes on War and Military Service. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a Senior Fellow with the International Association for Refugees, where his work intersects theology and humanitarian advocacy. George will be joining us here in the last week of July to teach “The First Christian Centuries.” He will also be giving an Evening Public Lecture on Monday July 28, titled Migration and Refugees (and the Re-humanizing Role of the Church).Summer Listener SurveyPlease fill out our Listener Survey before the end of July for the opportunity to win a $100 Regent College Bookstore Gift Card.Resources MentionedVisual Museum of Women in ChristianityInternational Association for RefugeesRegent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

On this week's episode of Women Speak — a segment on Northeast Newscast — hosts Northeast News Editor-in-Chief, Julia Williams and former Missouri House Representative for District 19 Ingrid Burnett sat down with CEO of Early Start, June McDaniel to kick off a new series, where we highlight women in education.Throughout this episode, McDaniel discusses her journey of how she went from working a professional career in human resources (HR) to shifting into early childhood education — including how her previous skills have transferred into her current work. She delves into some particulars of Early Start and how the program works to best serve its students. McDaniel goes on to discuss her personal background as a Kansas City native and how her personal experiences have helped her build connections with students and families today. Williams shares a history of a few women who pioneered early education — leaving an impact on what it is today. This includes an education system — The Montessori Theory — which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries that is still utilized in many early childhood institutions today, including Early Start. Burnett and McDaniel how these systems have and are currently working in the education system. Cohosts and McDaniel additionally discuss ways for community members to get involved in early childhood education through City, County and State boards and commissions. Music used within this Women Speak episode is a song called “I Wish I Knew You Then” by Kansas City local artist Honeybee and the group's lead female vocalist, Makayla Scott. “I Wish I Knew You Then” is a recent single, which Honeybee released in March 2025.  Honeybee's latest single “Lindenlure,” was released on May 30 and is now available on its streaming platforms. 2025 singles “I Wish I Knew You Then,” “Charmed Life” and “Lindenlure” as well as additional Honeybee tracks are available on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, TIDAL and Youtube Music. *Disclaimer* I Wish I Knew You Then and any previous or future Honeybee songs used by The Northeast News within the Women Speak podcasts are courtesy of and approved by Makayla Scott and Honeybee under proper copyright law.

The influence and impact of capitalism across the globe on violence against women, especially with witch hunts, cannot be understated. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the book Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women by Silvia Federici (and published by PM Press), which outlines and analyzes the root causes and impact of interpersonal and institutional violence against witches and women across the globe throughout history and into our present day, as well as the necessary work to resist and combat this violence, and what we learn and take away from this book in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.

Jerry Sandusky was a legend at Penn State University. As the right hand of head football coach Joe Paterno, he was known not only as an exceptional coach but also as a big-hearted philanthropist and advocate for troubled youth. So when a 2011 grand jury report exposed decades of abuse, the fallout was immeasurable, bringing to light a story of power, silence, and the cost of looking the other way.

This is a special bonus episode from the excellent Crimes of the Centuries podcast. When members of the incredibly wealthy Osage Nation started dropping dead of mysterious ailments in 1920s Oklahoma, few people in state power paid it much mind. After all, many of those who could do something about it were benefiting from the deaths. Eventually, with the help of a still-evolving agency called the FBI, federal authorities uncovered an unthinkable conspiracy known today as the Reign of Terror.

I recently read in Jaroslav Pelikan's excellent Jesus Through the Centuries a line from American scholar Arthur O. Lovejoy, who asserted, “The term ‘Christianity' is not the name for any single unit of the type for which the historian of specific ideas looks.” Rather, the term describes “a series of facts which, taken as a whole, have almost nothing in common except the name”. At first I thought his statement was absurd, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was true. And that I did not believe in Christianity. Please let me explain.

In 1935, 12-year-old Lillian Gobitas and her little brother William were kicked out of their Pennsylvania public school — not for misbehaving, but for quietly refusing to salute the flag, which they believed went against their Jehovah's Witness faith. Their dad sued, arguing the school had violated their right to religious freedom. But in a sweeping decision, the Supreme Court sided with the school, saying national unity outweighed First Amendment protections. The ruling sparked a wave of violence against Jehovah's Witnesses across the country, and fueled criticism the Court had abandoned core constitutional rights.

He has written articles, monographs and edited books, mostly on philosophy in the Islamic world and ancient philosophy. He is the host of the weekly podcast "History of Philosophy without any gaps". He is the author of several books, including Heirs of Avicenna: Philosophy in the Islamic East, 12-13th Centuries. In this episode, we focus on Heirs of Avicenna. We start by talking about Avicenna and his main contributions to philosophy, the relationship between philosophy in the Islamic East and the scholastic tradition in Europe, the relationship between Avicenna and the traditions of falsafa and kalam, and how the book was organized. We focus on the topics of metaphysics in the Islamic East, and the issues that best characterize the philosophy of the Islamic East. We discuss whether the thinkers from this time period were philosophers of “paraphilosophers”. We talk about the most prominent philosophers, including al-Suhrawardī, Abū al-Barakāt al-Baghdādī, Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī, and al-Ṭūsī, as well as their legacy. Finally, we discuss what we can learn from studying philosophy beyond Europe.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Crimes Of The Centuries is dark again this week, so here is an episode that you might not have heard previously... or might just want to listen to again. When news spread that a high-profile comedian was killed in a murder-suicide in 1998, the response was disbelief: Phil Hartman wasn't just famous for being funny. He was even better known for being a good-hearted guy. The shocking story behind the deaths of Hartman and his wife, Brynn, not only made international headlines, but it shook the entertainment industry and changed how people talked about substance abuse and mental health issues in America.

When a schoolteacher's borrowed BBC computer began displaying mysterious messages from a 16th-century scholar and beings from the year 2109, it sparked one of England's most bewildering paranormal cases.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: In Victorian London, a grisly murder case involving Maria and Frederick Manning shocked society and caught the attention of Charles Dickens himself. What began as a love triangle turned into a chilling tale of greed, betrayal, and murder, culminating in a public execution that would challenge the very nature of capital punishment in Great Britain. (The Murderous Mannings) *** In 1720, amidst a perilous pirate attack on the Atlantic, a newborn's cry changed the course of destiny. Ocean-Born Mary, christened by buccaneers and gifted with a bolt of green silk, would grow from a maritime legend into a symbol of courage and resilience in colonial New England, her extraordinary birth weaving a tapestry of fact and fiction that continues to captivate imaginations centuries later. (A Pirate's Godchild, Ocean-Born Mary) *** On the morning of June 20, 2001, Andrea Yates shocked the nation by drowning her five children, one by one, in the family bathtub. Years of untreated mental illness, compounded by religious fanaticism and postpartum psychosis, culminated in this unimaginable tragedy. Was it the work of a tortured mind, or something darker at play? (Did The Devil Make Her Do It?) *** Deep in the ancient folds of the Appalachian Mountains, where time seems to slow and shadows linger, legends have taken root for millennia. These peaks have become a breeding ground for supernatural tales that blend seamlessly with the landscape. The sheer age and untamed nature of Appalachia have given birth to a rich tapestry of myths, from the Mothman, to ghosts, to the Devil himself. (Modern Mythology and Ancient Appalachia) *** In the heart of Preston, Ladywell Street is infamous for a chilling spectral presence capable of shifting forms—from eerie footsteps to a blood-soaked apparition known as the Bannister Doll. Once a beautiful young woman, Dolly Bannister met a tragic death at the hands of her father, a punishment for a crime she didn't commit. Now, her restless spirit seeks retribution, haunting the streets and striking fear into anyone who dares to cross her path. (The Haunting of Ladywell Street) *** In 1984, a sleepy English village became the unlikely stage for a mind-bending mystery when a schoolteacher's computer began receiving messages from a man claiming to be from 1546. As past and present collided through a BBC Micro, Ken Webster and his friends found themselves entangled in a web of Tudor English, future prophecies, and inexplicable phenomena that would challenge everything they thought they knew about time and technology.

In 1971, two boys found a pair of carved stone heads in their garden that unleashed a werewolf-like creature, baffled archaeologists, and vanished without a trace — leaving behind only terror and unanswered questions.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: Deep within the ancient limestone caves of Wookey Hole, a legendary witch once cast her dark curse over the nearby village, dooming all love to fail. Centuries later, the echoes of her magic still haunt the caverns, where eerie sounds and ghostly figures continue to baffle and terrify visitors. Is the petrified figure in the Witch's Kitchen truly the stone remains of the cursed sorceress, or does her spirit linger, waiting for someone to break the spell? (The Witch of Wookey Hole) *** In 1954, off the coast of Australia, a routine flight turned into one of the most compelling UFO encounters in history. When Royal Australian Navy pilot Lieutenant O'Farrell reported two mysterious lights outpacing his Sea Fury aircraft, he couldn't have imagined that his sighting, confirmed by multiple radar operators on the ground, would become a cornerstone case in UFO research for decades to come. (The Sea Fury UFO Mystery) *** "When two boys unearth strange stone heads in their backyard, they unknowingly trigger a series of eerie events, from ghostly encounters to bizarre werewolf sightings. As archaeologists and paranormal investigators examine the Hexham Heads, rumors of ancient curses and supernatural forces grow — but are the objects truly cursed, or is it all just legend?"

Greg Jenner is joined by Dr Vanessa Heggie and comedian Stu Goldsmith to learn all about the perilous history of Arctic exploration.From the 15th to 20th Centuries, Europeans searched for the Northwest Passage, a supposed seaway between the Atlantic and Pacific through the Arctic Ocean. Indigenous groups had been traversing the passage for centuries, using small skin boats and dog sleds, but from 1497, European expeditions were launched to find and claim it. Most of these ended in failure, with explorers either returning home empty-handed or not returning at all. Some even got completely lost, arriving in Hawaii or North Carolina rather than Canada!In 1845, the most famous Arctic expedition, led by Sir John Franklin, was launched. Within a few months, his two ships, the Erebus and the Terror, with their crew of 129 souls, had vanished. It was not until 1906 that a Norwegian team, led by Roald Amundsen, finally navigated the passage. This episode explores the often fatal quest for the Northwest Passage, charting the various expeditions that tried and failed to find and traverse it, uncovering the men who lost their lives looking for it, and asking why Europeans were so keen to explore such a hostile region of the world. And we unravel the mystery of just what happened to John Franklin and his men out there on the ice.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

While Crimes of the Centuries takes a brief summer break, enjoy a guest episode from Josh at The Wild West Extravaganza. This one's a doozy: It's the story of "Black Jack" Ketchum — a train robber whose criminal exploits made headlines across the American frontier. But it was his botched execution that really cemented his place in Wild West lore. This is one of those cases where the truth is not only stranger than fiction — it's also way bloodier.

In late 1910 and early 1911, a band of impulsive Latvian radicals fleeing persecution in Russia unleashed a wave of violence in London that left three policemen dead and part of a quiet city block in ruins.

When Berry Stoll returned from work on Oct. 10, 1934, the scene greeting him was pure chaos: His maid was tied up, his wife was missing and a terrifying pool of blood covered one of the beds. Alice Speed Stoll had been kidnapped by a smooth-talking, well-dressed man who claimed to be a phone repairman.

For hundreds of years sailors have told stories about miles of glowing ocean during moonless nights. This phenomenon is known as "milky seas," but the only scientific sample was collected in 1985. So atmospheric scientist Justin Hudson, a PhD candidate at University of Colorado, used accounts spanning 400 years to create a database of milky seas. By also using satellite images to visually confirm the tales, Justin hopes his research brings us one step closer to unraveling this maritime mystery.

One Sunday morning in 1997, a security guard noticed the front fence at Loomis Fargo in Charlotte, North Carolina, was ajar. So was the warehouse door. And the vault inside was fitted with a suspicious time lock. When authorities finally opened the vault the next day, they found it completely empty, the target of one of the largest cash thefts in US history. The manhunt that followed would grip the nation as authorities raced to track down the inside man who they believed vanished with millions.
