Beyond The Outer Realm welcomes returning Guest, Luke Eastwood Host: Michelle Desrochers Date: June 24th, 2025 Episode: 579 Discussion: On this segment, Luke will be talking Druids and Ancient Religions Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com Rumble: TheOuterRealm X - MicheleDerocher Website: www.theouterrealmradio.com Please support us by Liking, Subscribing, Sharing and Commenting.!!! About Luke: I have been involved in the arts in some shape or form since I was a teenager. I was born in Aberdeen, Scotland but spent most of my childhood and all my teenage years in Kent and Surrey, England. At 19 I moved to London to study at university and this was the beginning of my development into a semi-professional or professional artist, designer, musician, photographer and writer. In 1990, at university, I discovered the Apple MacIntosh computer which I immediately fell in love with, leading to my interest in digital art and Graphic Design (which became my career), following a stint in Mitre House Publishing for my degree industrial placement and writing for the university magazine Cityscape. I began writing poetry at the age of 15, pretty badly I might add. Over time I developed my own style of both poetry and prose. My first article was published in 1991 but a year after leaving university I left journalism aside for other activities (mainly music) until the early 2000s when I began to write more frequently. For most of the 1990s I concentrated on my band Children Of Dub and released several albums and singles during that time. A multitude of my articles in magazines and websites have been appearing in recent years, which you can find on my articles page. In 2005 my first book, on spiritual wisdom, "The Journey" was published under the pseudonym Joseph Dawton. In 2006 I was editor of a collection of poetry entitled "Where The Hazel Falls", featuring some of my poems, as well as eight other authors in Ireland. My first book to be published without the use of a pseudonym was "The Druid's Primer" in 2012, which is a non-fiction book on Druidry. A revised and expanded edition of "The Journey", was published in UK and USA by Moon Books, in late 2012. My first solo collection of poetry "Through The Cracks In The Concrete The Wilderness Grows" was published in 2016 through Killkenny Druidry College Press and "Kerry Folk Tales" (with Gary Branigan) was published in summer 2019 through The History Press. "How To Save The Planet" was published by Electric Publications in November 2019. "5th Element" by Children Of Dub was released on CD in March 2020, followed by a 2xCD best-of compilation "Evolution 1993-2020". In April 2021 "The Druid Garden" was published by Moon Books, swiftly followed by "Samhain: The Roots of Halloween" from The History Press in September 2021. In April 2022 "Dingle Folk Tales" was pubished through Electric Publications, featuring stories entirely from the Dingle Peninsula, on the west coast of Ireland. I am currently working on several more books for 2023/24 and beyond and have returned to occasional photographic work after a long break from it.

Ziel unseres Ausflugs ist ein Ort, der so eigentlich gar nicht existieren hätte dürfen: Die Kowloon Walled City. Wir sprechen darüber, wie dieser Ort wortwörtlich historisch gewachsen ist, wie es in dieser Stadt, die nicht größer als ein Häuserblock war, aussah und weshalb sie schließlich einem öffentlichen Park weichen musste. //Erwähnte Folgen - GAG34: Tee, Silber und Rauschmittel – https://gadg.fm/34 - GAG423: Der Sohn Gottes Hong Xiuquan und sein Aufstand gegen das imperiale China – https://gadg.fm/34 //Literatur - David Akers-Jones.

Beyond The Outer Realm welcomes special Guest, Luke Eastwood Host: Michelle Desrochers Date: April 8th, 2025 Episode: 546 Discussion : Luke will be discussing his new book " Scotia: The Lost Sister of Tutankhamun" From Luke's Press Release: - This is the latest book from author, folklorist and amateur historian Luke Eastwood, who has previously had success with titles such as “Kerry Folk Tales”, “Dingle Folk Tales” and “The Druid's Primer”. It also features an introduction from best-selling UK author and acclaimed archaeologist Lorraine Evans. A nation under threat and a dynasty facing collapse under a much hated, heretic king. Tracing the Amarna Egyptian royal family, from Akhenaten through to Tutankhamun and the final Pharaoh Horemheb, a picture emerges of a dynasty caught up in a religious controversy and the unfolding of an unstoppable drama. This book explores the mysterious deaths of this dynasty's pharaohs and the flight of one of its last queens, an older sister of the ill-fated Tutankhamun. Why did she flee Egypt and how? Why did she go to Spain and then Scotland? How did she come to meet her death in the West of Ireland?

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: From Cityscape to Countryside: Zoltán's Easter Treasure Quest Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-04-02-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A tavaszi nap sugarai gyengéden simogatták a magyar vidék földjét.En: The gentle rays of the spring sun caressed the land of the magyar countryside.Hu: Zoltán, a harmincas éveinek végén járó férfi, lassan sétált a frissen zöldellő mezők között, élvezve a természet csendjét és a madarak énekét.En: Zoltán, a man in his late thirties, walked slowly among the freshly greened fields, enjoying the silence of nature and the song of the birds.Hu: Nemrég költözött ide a nyüzsgő városi élet elől menekülve, de a kíváncsiság és a kalandvágy nem hagyta nyugodni.En: He had recently moved here to escape the bustling city life, but curiosity and a thirst for adventure would not let him rest.Hu: Egy régi öreg fa mellett megállt, hogy pihenjen egy kicsit.En: He stopped beside an old, ancient tree to take a break.Hu: Ahogy a fatörzsre támaszkodott, valami különöst érzett.En: As he leaned against the tree trunk, he felt something unusual.Hu: A fa kérge mögött egy kis rés rejtőzött, melyben egy kopott, megsárgult levél rejtőzködött.En: Behind the bark, there was a small crevice hiding a tattered, yellowed letter.Hu: Óvatosan kihúzta és szívverése felgyorsult a titokzatos felfedezéstől.En: He carefully pulled it out, his heartbeat quickening with the mysterious discovery.Hu: Zoltán hazafelé tartva elmerült a gondolataiban.En: Heading home, Zoltán became lost in thought.Hu: A levél régi magyar nyelven íródott, és ő alig értette.En: The letter was written in old Hungarian, and he understood little of it.Hu: Tudta, hogy segítségre lesz szüksége.En: He knew he would need help.Hu: Másnap megkereste Kata-t, a szomszédját, aki a magyar vidék történeteit szinte szívből ismerte.En: The next day, he sought out Kata, his neighbor, who seemed to know the stories of the Hungarian countryside by heart.Hu: Kata vonakodott egy idegen előtt megnyitni családi meséit, de Zoltán kíváncsisága és őszinte érdeklődése végül meggyőzte őt.En: Kata hesitated to open her family's tales to a stranger, but Zoltán's curiosity and genuine interest eventually convinced her.Hu: A húsvét közeledtével a falut áthatotta a készülődés izgalma.En: As Easter approached, the village was infused with the excitement of preparations.Hu: A templom harangjai, a puha kalács illata és a locsolkodás hagyománya mind hozzájárultak a vidám ünnepi hangulathoz.En: The church bells, the scent of soft kalács (a type of bread), and the tradition of sprinkling all contributed to the cheerful festive atmosphere.Hu: Zoltán és Kata a takaros látványra függesztették tekintetüket, miközben együtt próbálták kibogozni a levél titkát.En: Zoltán and Kata focused their gaze on the charming scene while they tried to unravel the letter's secret together.Hu: Hosszú órák és számtalan csésze tea után végre sikerrel jártak.En: After long hours and countless cups of tea, they finally succeeded.Hu: A levél egy régi rejtély nyomait tartalmazta, mely kapcsolatban állt Lászlóval, a faluszélén élő idős férfival.En: The letter contained traces of an old mystery related to László, an elderly man living on the edge of the village.Hu: Az írás szerint egy eldugott kincs várja megtalálóját, és László családjához kötődik.En: According to the writing, a hidden treasure awaited discovery, connected to László's family.Hu: Zoltán és Kata bizonytalanul, de elszántan kopogtak László ajtaján.En: Zoltán and Kata, uncertain but determined, knocked on László's door.Hu: Az idős ember eleinte zárkózott volt, de amikor megtudta, hogy a kincs története újra életre kelhet, csillogást láttak a szemében.En: The elderly man was initially reserved, but when he learned that the story of the treasure might come alive again, they saw a sparkle in his eyes.Hu: Együtt indultak útnak.En: They set out together.Hu: Az úthoz vezető ösvényt frissen nyíló vadvirágok szegélyezték.En: The path leading to their journey was lined with freshly blooming wildflowers.Hu: A falu határán lévő erdő mélyén végül megtalálták a kincsesládát, mely nem aranyat vagy ezüstöt, hanem egy régi időkből származó időkapszulát rejtett.En: Deep in the forest at the village boundary, they finally found the treasure chest, which did not hide gold or silver but rather a time capsule from a bygone era.Hu: Az emlékek és régi tárgyak közösséget kovácsoltak a falu lakóiban és Zoltán így az igaz kincsre lelt: a közösség meleg ölelésére.En: The memories and old objects forged a bond among the villagers, and Zoltán thus found the true treasure: the warm embrace of community.Hu: Zoltán most egyike volt a közösségnek.En: Zoltán was now one of the community.Hu: A tavaszi nap sugarában állva, új barátokkal körülvéve érezte, hogy a kaland igazi értelme az út, ami az emberekhez vezet.En: Standing in the rays of the spring sun, surrounded by new friends, he felt that the true value of adventure lies in the path that leads to people.Hu: Kata oldalán állva, mosolyogva nézte az összegyűlt falusiakat.En: Standing by Kata's side, he smiled as he looked at the gathered villagers.Hu: A húsvét öröme és az újonnan talált kötelékek megszilárdították Zoltán helyét a falu szívében, és elhozta neki mindazt, amire mindig is vágyott: kalandot, felfedezést és igazi, emberi kapcsolódást.En: The joy of Easter and the newly found bonds solidified Zoltán's place in the heart of the village and brought him everything he had always desired: adventure, discovery, and genuine human connections.

Join us as Andrew Conboy, an ISA certified arborist famously known as Andrew the Arborist, captivates us with his journey through urban forestry and ecological restoration. Andrew's passion for integrating native flora into cityscapes shines as he addresses the challenges of urban stressors like soil compaction and pollution. Explore how underutilized species such as swamp white oak and post oak offer hope for climate adaptation in urban areas. From historical anecdotes about the resilience of honey locusts to the intriguing notion of urban foraging, Andrew sheds light on the potential of trees to transform our cities. The heart of the episode beats with Andrew's insights on community-based environmental stewardship. Discover how the seeds of Colonial Canopy Trees were planted, nurturing a grassroots initiative to tackle invasive species and promote native tree planting. Andrew shares the power of starting small and the joy of building community connections, highlighting stories where volunteers bridge generational and cultural divides. His experiences illustrate that meaningful environmental change starts with local action and collaboration, with each tree planted and invasive weed pulled embodying a step toward a healthier ecosystem. This episode also ventures into the digital realm, where Andrew discusses the impact of long-form video content in raising awareness about native plants and urban forestry. Reflecting on his transition from a gaming content creator to an ecological educator, Andrew emphasizes the role of storytelling in engaging communities. As the conversation unfolds, listeners are invited to participate in environmental restoration efforts, understanding that the fusion of personal narratives and ecological action can truly reshape our urban landscapes.

What if the honey locust tree holds the key to transforming American agriculture yet remains an untapped treasure? Join us as we explore this remarkable tree's profound historical significance and unique attributes. We guide you through its pre-human landscapes and symbiotic relationship with Pleistocene megafauna, shedding light on how its fearsome thorns might have served as tattoo tools for indigenous peoples. With insights from Dr. Robert Warren, we unravel the intriguing journey of the honey locust, drawing comparisons to the Kentucky coffee tree and pondering its adaptation to wet regions through human intervention. In a lighthearted and anecdotal manner, we delve into the quirky connections between anachronistic trees like the honey locust and Kentucky coffee tree, alongside their relationships with now-extinct species. Discover the indigenous significance of the honey locust's sweet pulp, a sugar alternative in warmer regions, and laugh with us as we draw amusing parallels with modern-day treats like candy corn. While we acknowledge the mysteries surrounding ancient methods of processing honey locust pulp, our light-hearted exploration invites you to imagine historical storage practices and potential uses. The honey locust is more than just a historical icon; it is a beacon of agricultural potential. Uncover its promising varieties, like Millwood, identified in the 1930s, and their potential for livestock feed and ethanol production. We recount the efforts of researchers like Dr. James Hanover to unlock the tree's capabilities for sustainable farming systems. Whether it's silvopasture or energy farming, the honey locust fits seamlessly into modern agriculture, offering ecological benefits and versatility. We invite you to join us in supporting ongoing research into this fascinating crop and perhaps even become a part of our knowledge-sharing community.

Cityscapes: Anthology of Urban Short Stories and Poems by B.W. WilliamsThe World Health Organization estimates that half of the world's population is currently living in cities and will continue to climb. Cities are often vilified in many stories as 'concrete jungles, slums, ' or seem terrifying to many. Thomas Jefferson believed that the strength and future of America lay in its rural heritage, and that cities were anathema to this concept. Perhaps the truth is that they are a culmination and reflection of the best and worst in our society. Cities are by their very nature, split personalities. Wasteful and ecoconscious. Chaotic in appearance, but concerned about efficiency, economies of scale, and marshalling the resources required to house, feed, clothe, educate, and move masses of people back and forth from home to work, and play. Many cities are also unique in that people gravitate toward them as centers of cultures and learning. The theme of this collection of urban short stories and poems revolve around life in the city during four seasons. In the section outlined, 'Spring, ' for example, I start with an ode to New York, a poem dedicated to the city and its vibrancy, celebrating the dawn of something new and fresh. In the 'Fall, ' section, on the other hand, I make historical reference to events of September 11th, 2001, in the poem Big Brothers. In between, the thematic expression of urban life and its experiences during the different seasons is laid out, sometimes metaphorically, as in the poem, 'Shadow of Wings, ' which represents summer travel and freedom from the routines of life, and at times literally, as is in the short story, 'South Station, ' where the main scene is played out in the winter.Berestrand Williams is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Connecticut School of Medicine.He is employed by Mount Sinai Hospital in New York and is the Medical Director for the Mount Sinai-Unite Here Health Primary Care Center, which cares for the employees of the Atlantic City, New Jersey based casinos and their dependents.His interest in writing began in third grade when he wrote and acted out his first play about a detective in front of his class for show and tell.The critique was mixed, but undaunted he continued to write about events, politics, and sports through college, graduate school, to the present day, despite busy days and frequent sleepless nights.He has written poems and short stories about interesting situations and moments when people are at their worst, but also demonstrate remarkable strength and heroism.He resides with his family on the Jersey Shorehttps://www.amazon.com/Cityscapes-Anthology-Urban-short-stories/dp/166326550Xhttps://mainspringbooks.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/101024bwwmsb.mp3
Cities have lived with exclusionary zoning for decades, if not generations. Is inclusionary zoning the answer? Inclusionary zoning, or IZ, requires developers to set aside a share of units in new buildings for low- or moderate-income households, seeking to increase the supply of affordable homes and integrate neighborhoods racially and socioeconomically. But how well does it accomplish these goals? This week we're joined by the Mercatus Center's Dr. Emily Hamilton to discuss her research on how IZ programs have impacted homebuilding and housing prices in the Washington, D.C. region, and the ironic reality that the success of inclusionary zoning relies on the continued existence of exclusionary zoning.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Twists and Turns: A Budapest Bathhouse Friendship Challenge Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/twists-and-turns-a-budapest-bathhouse-friendship-challenge Story Transcript:Hu: Budapest, melynek szívében Anna és István, két jó barát élvezte szombat délutánjukat. A Gellért Fürdőben találkoztak, egymás társaságának és a gyönyörű termálfürdő lágy pataklásának élvezete miatt. De bonyolódott a dolog, amikor a fürdőben lévő labirintusszerű építészet elkapta őket.En: Budapest, in the heart of which Anna and István, two good friends, enjoyed their Saturday afternoon. They met at the Gellért Baths, enjoying each other's company and the soothing flow of the beautiful thermal baths. The situation became more complicated when the labyrinthine architecture of the baths captured them.Hu: Anna és István kitalálta, hogy játszanak egy játékot: ki találja meg a legrövidebb idő alatt a kiutat a fürdőből. Nagyjából mosolyogva váltattak meg, hogy végül eltűntek egymás látóteréből. Az idő akkor szállt, amikor mindketten vadvízi csúszdákban és pezsgőfürdőkben találták magukat. Valahogy mégis mindketten elvesztek a komplex labirintusban. Mindannyian zavarodottak voltak, képesek voltak a logikájukra és az emlékezetükre támaszkodni ahhoz, hogy megtalálják az útjukat kifelé.En: Anna and István came up with a game: to see who could find the way out of the baths in the shortest time. With smiles on their faces, they quickly separated, disappearing from each other's view. Time flew by as they found themselves in wild water slides and bubbly pools. Yet, they both ended up getting lost in the complex maze. Confused, they relied on their logic and memories to find their way out.Hu: A nap véget ért, és a napló szélén állva követték az alkony színekben úszó termálmedencét. István megnézte az óráját, az barátja még mindig hiányzott. Aggódni kezdett Annáért. Megpróbált néhány személyzeti tagot értesíteni, de senki sem tudott segíteni. Megszilárdította elhatározását, hogy inkább egyedül keresi meg Annát.En: As the day came to an end, standing by the edge of the pool, they followed the twilight colors dancing on the thermal pool. István checked his watch, his friend was still missing. Worried for Anna, he tried to inform some staff members, but no one could help. He made a firm decision to search for Anna on his own.Hu: Másfelől, a távolban, Anna volt. Fáradtan és csalódottan ült a beltéri medence szélén, azon gondolkodott, hogyan került erre a helyre. A fürdő által felkínált kényelem ellenére folyamatosan érezte az aggodalmat és a félelmet. Hiányzott a barátja; István.En: On the other side, in the distance, was Anna. Exhausted and disappointed, she sat by the indoor pool, wondering how she ended up there. Despite the comfort offered by the baths, she still felt worry and fear. She missed her friend, István.Hu: Hosszú percek teltek el. Végül István felfedezett egy keskeny járatot, amely egy központi medence felé vezetett. Egyedül tartózkodó lányt pillantott meg, aki a medence szélén ült, ami csak Anna lehetett. A siker és a megkönnyebbülés boldogságos mosolyt csalt arcára.En: Minutes turned into long moments. Finally, István discovered a narrow passage leading to a central pool. He spotted a girl sitting alone by the pool, who could only be Anna. Success and relief brought a happy smile to his face.Hu: Anna szinte felugrott a meglepetéstől és az örömtől, amikor meglátta Istvánt. Boldogan sietett felé, és elmondta neki, mennyire hiányzott. Az öröm és a könnyek keveréke tükröződött az arcán.En: Almost jumping with surprise and joy, Anna saw István. Happily, she rushed towards him, expressing how much she missed him. The mix of joy and tears reflected on her face.Hu: A nap után István és Anna együtt találtak kiutat a labirintusból, kéz a kézben, valóban megtapasztalva a szorongás érzését, ami összekötötte őket. A félelem, a fáradtság és az öröm olyan élmény volt, amit soha nem felejtenek el.En: After the day, István and Anna found their way out of the labyrinth together, hand in hand, truly experiencing the anxiety that bound them. The fear, fatigue, and joy created an unforgettable experience.Hu: Ezzel a tapasztalattal elhatározták, hogy többet nem játszanak többé hozzá hasonló játékot. De azt is megjegyezték, hogy az események mélyebben összekötöttek őket, mint bármi más korábban. Eközben Budapest, a gyönyörű város, csendesen, de büszkén állt ott, mintha figyelne és tanúsítaná ezt a kis kalandot.En: With this shared experience, they decided never to play such a game again. They also noted how the events had connected them on a deeper level than ever before. Meanwhile, Budapest, the beautiful city, stood quietly and proudly, as if observing and acknowledging this little adventure.

Fluent Fiction - Japanese: Yuki's Journey: Navigating Tokyo Station's Cityscape Chaos Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/yukis-journey-navigating-tokyo-stations-cityscape-chaos Story Transcript:Ja: 東京のスカイラインは、まるでビルの洪水がサンセットに輝く海に注ぎ込んでいるかのように見えた。その美しさに見とれていた中にいたのは、小さな女の子、ゆきだった。彼女が迷いに迷って、サイハテまで来てしまった場所、それは東京駅だ。En: The skyline of Tokyo appeared as though a flood of buildings was pouring into the sea shimmering with the sunset. Among those mesmerized by its beauty was a little girl named Yuki. Lost in her thoughts, she found herself at the faraway destination of Tokyo Station.Ja: ラッシュアワー。駅は人の波で溢れていた。向かいから来る流れ、後ろから押す流れ、足を運ぶ全ては一つの方向へと向かい、その逆に立っているゆきは途方に暮れていた。En: It was rush hour. The station was overflowing with waves of people. Streams coming from opposite directions, pushing from behind, every footstep moving in one direction, while Yuki, standing against the flow, was at a loss.Ja: ゆきは自宅からはるか遠くにいた。居場所なんて確かなものではなく、彼女の心の中はいますぐ家に帰りたいという思いで満ちていた。でも、流れる人々は彼女の願いを無視して、川のように勢いよく流れていく。En: Yuki was far from her home. Her place of belonging was uncertain, and her heart was filled with the immediate desire to return home.

The African continent is projected to have the fastest urban growth rate in the world: by 2050, Africa's cities will be home to an additional 950 million people. While this surge presents urban centers with a wealth of opportunities such as a larger workforce, increased consumer markets, and greater potential for cultural exchange, it also brings forth substantial challenges. The rapid population growth can exacerbate existing problems such as inadequate infrastructure, housing shortages, and environmental concerns. African cities with their unique history and socio-economic landscape, must navigate these complexities while harnessing the potential for innovation and economic diversification that a growing populace brings. Obvious Katsaura is a senior lecturer in sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand. His research interests are in, and at the intersections of, the fields of transnational urbanism, transnational religiosity, religious urbanism, urban politics and urban violence.

Jubel, Trubel, Heiterkeit - heute, am 01. Oktober erscheint die 400. Episode von "XtraChill"! Für den lieben Andreas ein Grund, ein wenig stolz zu sein, denn knapp sechzehneinhalb Jahren auf Sendung stehen im schnelllebigen Zeitgefüge des Internet für ein ganzes Zeitalter! Viele "runde" dreistellige Episoden waren in der Vergangenheit nicht selten ganz besondere Ausgaben; so widmeten Jürgen und Andreas vor ziemlich genau dreizehn Jahren die 100. Folge dem Projekt "Fonogeri" und seiner grandiosen "Roughneck Selection". Auftragswerke gab es seit dem immer wieder, die bislang letzte monographische Sonderausgabe war Episode 351, in der "Dott. Santafeo" einen ganz exklusiven Mix seiner Werke präsentiete. Und genau das erwartet Euch Hörer heute auch, denn das kroatische Soloprojekt "NuLix" hat sich spontan bereit erklärt, für diese Sonderfolge kreativ zu werden. Das Ergebnis ist ein durchgehender Mix mit dem Titel "Cityscape"; eine Melange aus diversen Eigenkompositionen, die teilweise auch mit dem Projekt "Expozed" entstanden sind, und die nun ganz exklusiv nur hier bei "XtraChill" zu erleben ist. Dabei steigert sich das Werk von Ambientsounds und Soundscapes zu jazzig angehauchten Momenten - Robert präsentiert seine ganze musikalische Bandbreite. Viel Spaß mit diesem erlebnisreichen Experiment! Hip Hip Hooray! Today, on October 1st, the 400th episode of "XtraChill" is released! A reason for dear Andreas to be a little proud, because almost sixteen and a half years on air represents an entire era in the fast-moving time structure of the Internet! In the past, many important three-digit episodes were often very special editions; almost exactly thirteen years ago, Jürgen and Andreas dedicated the 100th episode to “Fonogeri” and its magnificent “Roughneck Selection”. Since then, there have been a number of commissioned works; the last monographic special edition to date was episode #351, in which "Dott. Santafeo" presented a very exclusive mix of his works. And that's exactly what listeners can expect today, because the croatian solo project "NuLix" has spontaneously agreed to get creative for this special episode. The result is a continuous mix titled “Cityscape”; a melange of various original compositions, some of which were created with the project “Expozed”, and which can now only be experienced exclusively here at “XtraChill”. The work increases from ambient sounds and soundscapes to jazzy moments - Robert presents his entire musical range. Have fun with this exciting experiment!

Photo: [Johnstown, Pa.:. Cityscape photograph @Batchelorshow 2/4: The migrants of Johnstown PA. Russell Shorto. Smalltime: A Story of My Family and the Mob. Hardcover – February 2, 2021, by Russell Shorto (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Smalltime-Story-My-Family-Mob/dp/0393245586/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Family secrets emerge as a best-selling author dives into the history of the mob in small-town America. The best-selling author Russell Shorto, praised for his incisive works of narrative history, never thought to write about his own past. He grew up knowing his grandfather and namesake was a small-town mob boss but maintained an unspoken family vow of silence. Then an elderly relative prodded: You're a writer―what are you gonna do about the story? Smalltime is a mob story straight out of central casting―but with a difference, for the small-town mob, which stretched from Schenectady to Fresno, is a mostly unknown world. The location is the brawny postwar factory town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The setting is City Cigar, a storefront next to City Hall, behind which Russ and his brother-in-law, “Little Joe,” operate a gambling empire and effectively run the town. Smalltime is a riveting American immigrant story that travels back to Risorgimento Sicily, to the ancient, dusty, hill-town home of Antonino Sciotto, the author's great-grandfather, who leaves his wife and children in grinding poverty for a new life―and wife―in a Pennsylvania mining town. It's a tale of Italian Americans living in squalor and prejudice, and of the rise of Russ, who, like thousands of other young men, created a copy of the American establishment that excluded him. Smalltimedraws an intimate portrait of a mobster and his wife, sudden riches, and the toll a lawless life takes on one family.
