On April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and staunch anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on the most famous horse ride in American history. A century later it inspired the poem and legend of "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." But the story is deeper and richer than we've all assumed. Acclaimed writer and editor Kostya Kennedy, through extraordinary and extensive research, has uncovered new and enlightening information on that amazing - including the women who were involved and African Americans in Boston - event presented now in his new book, THE RIDE: Paul Revere and the Night That Saved America (St. Martin's Press, On Sale Date 3/25/25, $30.00). Revere was not the only rider on the night of April 18, 1775, but he was by far the most critical. The Patriots best and most trusted "express rider" he had already completed at least 18 previous rides throughout New England, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years following - as the American Revolution transitioned from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war - became one of our founding tales. In THE RIDE, Kostya Kennedy presents a dramatic new narrative of the events of Revere's ride, informed by fresh primary and secondary research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. What he found are never before, or rarely, discussed events, before and after the ride, including: *On the night of the ride, Paul Revere was already the go-to rider for the revolution, called upon to make the most critical rides: in December 1773 he rode hundreds of miles south to New York and Philadelphia to deliver news of The Boston Tea Party.*Revere never said, "The British are coming!" during the ride.*On the night of the ride, Revere rode on a borrowed horse that was then taken from him by British officers; Revere never saw the horse again.*The "sea," in "one if by land, two if by sea," refers to the Charles River.*Revere intentionally did not carry his pistol on the night of the ride, which may have saved his life.*At the start of the ride, Revere was rowed quietly over the Charles River from Boston to Charlestown, along the way eluding lookouts stationed on a British warship.*Other riders galloped through the countryside that night carrying the alarm and nearly all of them were set in motion by Revere's alarm.*Only one other rider departed from Boston, William Dawes, who left over land across Boston Neck; as Dawes got past British guards he pretended he was a drunk country bumpkin. Kennedy's work shows the Revere ride to be vastly more complex than is usually portrayed. It was a coordinated ride of some 40 men that included near-disasters, capture by British forces, and ultimately success. While Paul Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, the author reveals the myriad other men - and women! - who proved crucial to the events that helped set in motion what would lead to America's independence. Thrillingly written in a dramatic heart-stopping narrative, THE RIDE re-tells the essential American story of our nation's awakening for a new generation of readers. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Werewolves and DemonsStory 1In Stone River, a seemingly typical American town with familiar seasonal events like carnivals and Christmas parades, a dark secret sets it apart: strict rules govern residents' lives to protect them from monstrous, bipedal wolf-like creatures that inhabit the surrounding woods and prey on humans. These rules, such as never traveling alone or leaving windows open at night, stem from centuries-old local lore about these creatures, which have claimed numerous lives, including newcomers like E.G. Parker and his crew in the 1940s, and local teens Alan and Lisa in the 1970s, whose gruesome deaths haunt the town. A 63-year-old lifelong resident, recounts the town's history and the rules' origins, which predate his grandmother's tales of a time without them. His own harrowing encounter with one of these creatures, when his truck runs out of gas on a lonely road, nearly costs him his life.Story 2In the summer of 1972, a 14-year-old boy fishing at a lagoon beneath the dilapidated "Monkey Bridge" near the Charles River discovers an old, ornate watch entangled in weeds, which he cleans and cherishes, unaware of its sinister history. That night, a terrifying dream places him on the bridge, reliving the fatal fall of a boy his age, and he awakens to see the boy's ghost pleading for help, with the watch mysteriously stopping at 4:18. The next day, compelled to climb the bridge, he encounters the ghostly boy again, tormented by demonic gremlins who mock him into a deadly crossing, revealing the watch's curse: it lures young boys to their deaths, manipulated by these malevolent entities. With his grandfather's help, a war veteran familiar with such evil, they uncover the watch's connection to Timothy Burns, a boy who drowned decades ago, and destroy it at his grave, banishing the gremlins and freeing the trapped souls. Now an old man and veteran himself, the narrator reflects on the ongoing battle against such soul-stealing evil, which persists in modern times through technology, as he vigilantly protects his grandson from similar unseen dangers.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support.

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2024! Pocas empresas privadas a lo largo de la historia han sido tan importantes y, al mismo tiempo, controvertidas como la Compañía Holandesa de las Indias Orientales, más conocida por sus siglas VOC. Se fundó en 1602 cuando aún las Provincias Unidas peleaban por su independencia contra el rey de España y pronto se convirtió en una de las más poderosas e influyentes de la historia. Durante casi dos siglos, dominó el comercio entre Europa y Asia, estableció un inmenso imperio colonial de titularidad y dejó una huella imborrable en la economía, la política y la cultura de todos los lugares por los que pasó. Los orígenes de la compañía hay que ir a buscarlos a finales del siglo XVI, momento en el que el comercio de especias con Asia estaba dominado por los comerciantes portugueses. Ellos eran los únicos que conocían la ruta para llegar hasta allí, pero no pudieron mantener el secreto eternamente. La unión de las siete provincias del norte de los Países Bajos impulsó a los comerciantes a desafiar el monopolio portugués. En 1602, el Gobierno holandés otorgó a la VOC una carta que le concedía el monopolio del comercio con Asia y poderes extraordinarios, como la capacidad de declarar la guerra, firmar tratados, acuñar moneda y establecer colonias. Esta combinación de ambición comercial y poder político sentó las bases para el rápido ascenso de la compañía. La VOC estableció puestos comerciales en todo el Océano Índico, desde el Cabo de Buena Esperanza hasta Japón. Su centro principal se ubicó en Batavia (actual Yakarta, en Indonesia), desde donde controlaba una red comercial que abarcaba Asia, África y Europa. La compañía se enriqueció con el comercio de especias, como la pimienta, el clavo, la nuez moscada y la canela. Para asegurar el control de la producción, sus directivos implementaron un sistema de control estricto recurriendo a la fuerza para mantener alejados a los competidores europeos y para para someter a los productores locales Conforme crecía, su actividad comercial se diversificó. Además de las especias, la compañía comercializaba con té, café, seda, porcelana, algodón y otros productos provenientes de Asia. También se involucró en el comercio de esclavos, transportando personas desde África hacia sus colonias en Asia. Establecieron factorías en Sudáfrica, India, Sri Lanka y Taiwan llegando durante unos años a ser la potencia dominante en la navegación por el océano Índico. Pero, a pesar de su éxito inicial, su declive comenzó a principios del siglo XVIII. Ya no estaba tan bien administrada como en sus orígenes y entraron en liza una potencia marítima en alza contra la que nada podía hacer. Esa potencia era Inglaterra, que fue quien terminó dándole la puntilla. En 1799, la VOC fue disuelta y sus activos pasaron al gobierno holandés. La VOC fue pionera en el desarrollo de prácticas comerciales modernas, como la emisión de acciones, la creación de un sistema contable y la construcción de una poderosa flota mercante. Su influencia en la economía global fue enorme, y su modelo de empresa sirvió de inspiración para otras compañías comerciales europeas. Dejó además una profunda huella en las sociedades asiáticas donde se estableció. Su presencia transformó las economías locales, introdujo nuevos cultivos y tecnologías, y dejó un legado arquitectónico y cultural que aún es visible en ciudades como Yakarta o Colombo.

On the morning of January 5, 1994, 27-year-old David Cox, a former Marine whose story inspired the movie A Few Good Men, was at home, anxiously awaiting news about a potential full-time job. But when his girlfriend, Elaine, returned home that evening, David was nowhere to be found. His truck was parked outside, with the keys in the ignition and an uncashed paycheck sitting on the dashboard. Despite these strange circumstances, police initially believed David had run off. However, nearly three months later, his body was discovered along a Medfield, Massachusetts riverbank five miles from his apartment. He had been shot four times. Despite a thorough investigation, no motive or suspects have been identified, leaving David's family desperate for answers. It's been over 30 years since David's murder, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible... On the morning of January 5, 1994, David Cox went missing from his apartment in Natick, Massachusetts. Almost three months later, on April 2, his body was discovered along the Charles River in Medfield, about five miles from his home. At the time of his death, David was wearing a Marine Corps camouflage jacket over a black hooded Marines sniper jacket, along with jeans and sneakers. If you have any information about David's murder, please call the Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to David's case at 617-593-8840.

In this episode of "Missing the Point," hosts Michael Marcangelo and Rayshawn Buchanan dive deep into the New England Patriots' preseason performance and what it signals for the 2024 NFL season. They kick off with a critical evaluation of the Patriots' first two preseason games, analyzing how rookie quarterback Drake Maye has shown flashes of brilliance while debating whether he should sit out the year. The discussion turns to the unexpected rise of rookie wide receivers, who are outperforming previous draft picks from the last two decades. But not everything is rosy, as the duo dissects the ongoing struggles of the offensive line and the impact of the team's failure to address this issue over the past two years. The conversation heats up as they discuss the controversial trade of star linebacker Matt Judon to the Atlanta Falcons for a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The hosts explore the potential fallout from this move, especially given Judon's claims that the Patriots never discussed a new deal with him. They also express concern over Christian Gonzalez's tough preseason and whether this signals bigger issues for the defense. As the episode unfolds, Michael and Ray debate the merits of supporting the Patriots through a full rebuild, comparing the team's situation to other NFL franchises in their first year of rebuilding. They wrap up with bold win-loss predictions for the upcoming season, with Michael predicting a 4-13 finish and Ray an even more pessimistic 2-15. In a lighter moment, Ray humorously vows to jump into the Charles River if the Patriots manage to win 10 games—a bet he doesn't expect to lose.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we bridge the gap between native analogs and native digitals in business by having a dialogue between the VC legend Ted Dintersmith and one of the new legends of her generation, Hannah Grady Williams. Ted Dintersmith is a VC legend on the East Coast. He's a former venture capitalist and a founding member of Charles River ventures, where he spent a significant portion of his career investing in and nurturing technology startups. Transitioning his focus toward education, he's become an influential advocate for innovative educational practices. Hannah Grady Williams is the legendary founder and CEO of d'Skills. She's recognized for her innovative approach to shaping education and her efforts to equip the next generation with the tools necessary for success in the modern digital landscape. And, oh yeah, she's only 25 years old. Hannah, Ted and Chris discuss the challenges of bridging generational gaps in education as native digital and native analogs. Along with the importance of introducing AI into education to empower students with real world projects. You'll be shocked at the transformative impact of the skills program on student's confidence, problem solving abilities, and career prospects. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Hannah Grady Williams on Education Reform and Preparing Students for the Workforce After a quick introduction between the two guests, the conversation starts with Hannah recounting a pivotal moment from her childhood when her dad involved her in a real estate deal at age 12, sparking her interest in applying academic skills to real-world situations. This experience led her to question the traditional education system's effectiveness in preparing students for modern careers, especially in the age of AI. She and Christopher discuss the shortcomings of current education models, emphasizing the importance of practical skills over rote memorization. Both share a vision of revolutionizing education by shifting focus from test scores to impact portfolios, where students showcase real-world projects demonstrating their skills. They aim to equip students with digital and AI skills through hands-on projects, enabling them to make tangible contributions to businesses. Ultimately, they envision a million students graduating high school with impact portfolios, ready for the demands of the modern workforce. Ted Dintersmith on the Disconnect between Traditional School Education and Skill Development Christopher and Ted discuss the stark difference between traditional education and teaching skills relevant to the modern workforce, particularly in the context of AI. They note the reluctance of many educational institutions to embrace AI tools, preferring to view them as potential cheating aids rather than productivity enhancers. Ted highlights the disconnect between traditional schooling and the demands of the job market, where college graduates often lack marketable skills and face uncertain career prospects. He emphasizes the need for parents to recognize the evolving nature of jobs and the importance of equipping students with adaptable skills. They see initiatives like Hannah's d'Skills as offering a path for students to create their own fulfilling careers, distinct from the outdated model of relying solely on degrees and conventional career paths. Education Priorities and Student Motivation Adding more on the topic of issues concerning traditional education, Ted also emphasizes that education's central issue isn't test scores or learning loss but rather the erosion of student motivation and purpose. He highlights the success of programs like d'Skills in engaging students, enabling them to pursue meaningful projects they find important. These initiatives contrast starkly with traditional sc...
