David Grann: Mojito (2 ounces white rum, 1 ounce lime juice, sugar, mint, topped with club soda)David discusses his early years covering politics on Capitol Hill, how his mother paved the way for women executives in publishing as the first woman CEO of a major publisher and how she eventually agreed that writing was a good career choice for David, describes conversations with Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese to review details of KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, mentions other authors of narrative history who he admires, identifies his first and most trusted reader of his early drafts, reveals how he organizes his thinking for new projects, names the person from history he'd most like to interview, and gives a tiny and cryptic hint about his upcoming book.

Today, we're joined by New York Times best-selling author David Grann. In this conversation, David opens up about his New York roots, his passion as a die-hard Knicks fan, and why he'll never approach someone reading his book in public. He shares stories of defying his mother's wishes to pursue his writing dream, his unexpected moment as an answer on Jeopardy, and the honor of making it onto President Obama's must-read list.David reflects on his decision to transition from reporting to writing, culminating in the gripping tale of The Lost City of Z. He explains why he chose to explore Percy Fawcett's fateful journey into the Amazon for his first book, shares his experiences in the jungle, and reveals the moment he found out he had made the New York Times bestseller list.From there, David takes us into the tragic history of the Osage people in his blockbuster book Killers of the Flower Moon. He dives into how he gained their trust and why he believes their story is one of the greatest injustices in American history.We also dive deep into his latest work, The Wager, where David shares how he first came across the story, his fascination with mutiny, cannibalism, and life on the high seas. And, of course, he opens up about seeing his books brought to life by Martin Scorsese, his time with Leonardo DiCaprio, his visit to Wager Island, and much more.This is an insightful and fun conversation with one of the greatest storytellers of our time. Enjoy!

Neujahrsvorsätze sind oft dieselben: mehr Sport, gesünder essen, schlechte Gewohnheiten ablegen. Aber wie wäre es mit einem Vorsatz, der Sie wirklich weiterbringt? Lesen Sie mehr Bücher! Tiefgehende, inspirierende Bücher – keine oberflächlichen Schlagzeilen oder sozialen Medien. Hier präsentiere ich Ihnen sieben Bücher aus den Bereichen Psychologie, Abenteuer, Geschichte, Politik und Inspiration. Diese Bücher sind anspruchsvoll, aber sie werden Sie 2025 mit Klarheit und Stärke ausstatten.  The Comfort Crisis – Michael Easter (die Komfort Krise) (2021)Michael Easter nimmt Sie mit auf eine fünfwöchige Jagd nach einem Karibu in der Arktis – eine Reise voller körperlicher Herausforderungen und existenzieller Fragen. Doch das ist nur der rote Faden. Easter unterlegt seine Abenteuererzählung mit wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und psychologischen Studien, die eine zentrale Botschaft tragen: Unsere moderne Bequemlichkeit macht uns schwach.  Die ständige Verfügbarkeit von Komfort hat uns körperlich, geistig und moralisch geschwächt. Easter zeigt, dass Wachstum nur ausserhalb der Komfortzone stattfindet – durch Fasten, körperliche Herausforderungen, durch Langeweile (!) und den Mut, sich dem Scheitern zu stellen. Warum lesen? Dieses Buch ist ein Weckruf, der zeigt, wie Sie durch bewusste Unbequemlichkeit ein stärkeres und erfüllteres Leben führen können.Civilized to Death – Christopher Ryan (2019)Christopher Ryan stellt eine provokative Frage: Was, wenn unser Fortschritt uns in die falsche Richtung führt? Er zeigt, wie viele Errungenschaften der modernen Zivilisation nur die Schäden reparieren, die der Fortschritt selbst verursacht hat – von Zivilisationskrankheiten wie Diabetes und Krebs bis hin zur Isolation in Städten.  Ryan zieht scharfe Vergleiche zwischen unserer modernen Lebensweise und einem schlechten Zoo, in dem wir wie Tiere in Käfigen gehalten werden. Seine Thesen sind unbequem, aber sie regen zum Nachdenken an: Was bedeutet Fortschritt wirklich, wenn er uns unglücklich, krank und isoliert macht?  Warum lesen? Ryan fordert uns auf, unser modernes Leben kritisch zu hinterfragen. Dieses Buch wird Ihre Perspektive auf Fortschritt und Zivilisation verändern.  Everybody Lies (2017) & Don't Trust Your Gut (2022) – Seth Stephens-Davidowitz Ehemals Datenanalyst bei Google, zeigt Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, warum wir Umfragen und Statistiken nicht trauen sollten. Wir lügen – ständig. Aber vor Google? Da geben wir unsere wahren Ängste und Zweifel preis.  Ob es um Gesundheit, Beziehungen, Sex oder Glück geht – diese Bücher enthüllen, was uns wirklich antreibt, und bieten datenbasierte Erkenntnisse, wie wir bessere Entscheidungen treffen können.  Warum lesen? Sie lernen, ehrlicher mit sich selbst zu sein und die Wahrheit hinter den Zahlen zu erkennen – eine wertvolle Fähigkeit in einer Welt voller Fake News und Manipulation.  The Wager – David Grann (2023)Ein wahres Abenteuer aus dem 18. Jahrhundert: Schiffbruch, Meuterei und der nackte Überlebenskampf. David Grann erzählt die Geschichte der HMS Wager, die vor der Küste Südamerikas strandet. Die Überlebenden kämpfen gegen Hunger, Kälte und einander – eine psychologische Studie darüber, wie dünn die Schicht der Zivilisation ist.  Warum lesen? Dieses Buch ist mehr als eine Abenteuergeschichte. Es zeigt die menschliche Natur in Extremsituationen und regt dazu an, über Moral, Loyalität und Überlebensinstinkte nachzudenken.  The War on Warriors – Pete Hegseth  (2023)Als Donald Trump seinen Kandidaten für das Amt der Verteidigungsministers präsentierte, schossen vor allem die europäischen Medien aus allen Rohren. Pete Hegest habe keine Erfahrung und sei lediglich Journalist, so der Tenor. Doch wer ist Herseht wirklich und wie denkt er? Pete Hegseth, Harvard- und Princeton-Absolvent sowie Kampfveteran, rechnet in diesem Buch ab mit der Richtung, die das US-Militär eingeschlagen hat. Politische Agenden und woke Ideologien haben die Effizienz der Streitkräfte geschwächt, argumentiert er.  Hegseth fordert eine Rückkehr zur Meritokratie und zeigt auf, wie politische Eingriffe die nationale Sicherheit gefährden. Seine Kritik ist scharf, seine Lösungen klar.  Warum lesen? Egal, ob Sie Hegseths Ansichten teilen oder nicht – dieses Buch zwingt Sie, über die Rolle und den Zustand moderner Institutionen nachzudenken.  Black Spartacus – Sudhir Hazareesingh (2021)Toussaint Louverture, der Anführer der Haitianischen Revolution im ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert, ist für mich eine der bemerkenswertesten Figuren der Weltgeschichte. Ein ehemaliger Sklave, der gegen die stärksten Armeen seiner Zeit kämpfte und die erste unabhängige schwarze Republik gründete.  Der Republikaner Louverture war nicht nur ein militärisches Genie, sondern auch ein Mann von Prinzipien: Freiheit, Gleichheit und Vergebung. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie eine Vision und unerschütterliche Werte die Welt verändern können.  Warum lesen? Louvertures Geschichte inspiriert dazu, mutig für das einzustehen, was richtig ist, und erinnert daran, dass wahre Größe aus Charakter und Überzeugung entsteht.  Warum lesen Sie nicht mehr?  Hören Sie auf, sich mit sozialen Medien oder flachen Schlagzeilen berieseln zu lassen. Bücher bieten Tiefe, Perspektive und Klarheit. Sie machen Sie zu einem stärkeren, klügeren Menschen.  Besuchen Sie meine Webseite www.muellermathias.ch für das vollständige Transkript dieses Artikels und weitere Buchempfehlungen. Unterstützen Sie diesen Podcast via www.buymeacoffee.com/stoicpirate – jeder Beitrag hilft, weiterhin Inhalte für Sie bereitzustellen.  Machen Sie 2025 zu einem Jahr des Wachstums und der Selbstherausforderung. Lesen Sie, lernen Sie, und denken Sie kritisch. Die Welt braucht Menschen, die denken können – nicht nur Mitläufer.

In a new series by Felix, Josh (@ettingermentum), and Spencer, we ask: how did the Republican Party, once the dominant force in American culture for almost a generation, become a group of bowtied cosplayers and rapist streamers yelling about Litterboxes? We trace this development back to the empires built by two men—Paul Weyrich and James Dobson—as well as the failures of one Pat Buchanan. This episode draws from Dan Gilgoff's The Jesus Machine and David Grann's “Robespierre Of The Right.” For a full list of sources, check our works cited doc here: www.chapotraphouse.com/seeking

Note: Hi friends. We had to say goodbye to our sweet, 17-year-old cat, Boo, this week, so we're releasing this episode from our Patreon. We'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week. Teri Horton didn't mince words. The $5 thrift store painting she'd picked up for a friend was ugly. Very ugly. It wasn't even what she'd call art. It looked like blobs and sprays of paint flung willy-nilly on a massive canvas. So, when Teri's friend didn't want the painting, Teri wasn't offended. But Teri was sure surprised when an art teacher told her she might have purchased a genuine Jackson Pollock painting. Teri's response was quick. “Who the f*** is Jackson Pollock?” Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: The documentary, “Who the #$and% is Jackson Pollock?” “The Case for Jackson Pollock,” by PBS Digital Studios “The Mark of a Masterpiece” by David Grann for the New Yorker “Jackson Pollock: Demystifying America's Most Influential Painter,” by The Conspiracy of Art YouTube channel “$50-million question,” by Louise Baring for The National Post “‘Ugly' painting's creator still disputed; now artists claim it,” by Kristina Sauerwein for The Los Angeles Times “A thrift-shop Jackson Pollock masterpiece?” 60 Minutes “‘Bakersfield Mist' pits art misfit against art maven,” by Barbara Yoresh for the Indian River Press Journal “Costa Mesa woman known for the fight to authenticate a possible Jackson Pollock painting dies without selling it,” by Susan Hoffman for the Daily Pilot “After 25 years, Costa Mesa woman still holding out for a ‘fair price,'” for the Daily Pilot

In this episode, David Grann regales viewers with some of the amazing true stories surrounding the wreck of The Wager, a British ship that sank off the tip of South America in 1741. In his book The Wager, Grann uses rare primary source documents to reconstruct the harrowing experiences of the ship's castaways and shows how the aftermath of the saga is still relevant today. The book will be adapted into a film directed by Martin Scorsese, as was another of Grann's bestsellers, Killers of the Flower Moon. Originally Aired: 12/15/2023 The interview is part of the series “Conversations from the Sun Valley Writers' Conference” and was taped at the 2023 conference. Since 1995, the conference has been bringing together some of the world's most well-known and illuminating authors to discuss literature and life.

“Each man carried, along with a sea chest, his own burdensome story.” - Excerpt from The Wager, by David GrannThis is true not only for the men that sailed on the HMS Wager, but your audience and customers (minus the sea chests). Just as David Grann took those burdensome stories from journal entries to write The Wager, so too can you use the burdensome stories of your customers in your marketing.This is one of the things we're talking about in this episode of Remarkable with the help of our special guest, former Director of Content Marketing at Authentic8, Shannon Ragan.Together, we draw marketing lessons from David Grann's book, The Wager, including going to the source, shaping your stories as stranger than fiction, and sourcing those stories from the smallest footnote.About our guest, Shannon RaganShannon Ragan is the former Director of Content Marketing at Authentic8. She joined the company in September 2020 as Content Marketing Senior Manager. She is also a producer and co-host of NeedleStack: the OSINT podcast. She previously served as Senior Marketing Communications Manager at Skybox Security. She has been blogging in the cybersecurity industry for ten years and vows to never write another Patch Tuesday update again.What B2B Companies Can Learn From The Wager:Go to the source. Talk to your customers to understand what matters most to them. And use that in your messaging. Shannon says, “Experience it yourself, as authentically as you can. I think that is a huge thing in content marketing. I feel like there is often a lot of gatekeeping between sales and marketing to customers that it's like, ‘No, I don't want the marketing team to talk to my customers.' It's the practitioners, the people using your tool, your product, that you need to talk to the most. And so any amount of time that you can get with them [is valuable].” In The Wager, David Grann actually sailed the same route that the crew of the HMS Wager did to see what it was really like. That was the only way he could write authentically about the experience.Shape your stories as stranger than fiction. When you do talk to your audience or your customers, get their war stories about the struggles they've had that your product will solve. Shannon says that having a podcast has been a great platform for sharing those stories. She says, “I think the true stories are the most interesting. And so getting  people that live it, walk the walk, do it every day to kind of tell their war stories and their learnings along the way, and be able to share those with our audience under our brand without really having to talk too much about ourselves has just been a great brand builder and gotten people into our orbit. And then once they know us and like us and love us, then it's really easy to be like, ‘By the way, we have this great product I think you'll like.'” It's like how The Wager is a true story that, in David Grann's telling, feels closer to fiction because of the detail and expressive voices he includes. And he was able to do that through the use of primary sources. So use your primary sources - your audience and customers - to write your marketing messages. Stories can start with the smallest footnote. When David Grann was doing research for The Wager, he was looking through lists of people who boarded the ship. And next to many names, he saw “DD,” which he discovered meant “Dispatched Dead.” It was through researching the deeper story behind this two-letter abbreviation that he uncovered stories of scurvy and the overall human toll of the voyage. Look for the small footnotes that could tell you a much deeper story for use in your marketing.Quotes*”Kill your darlings. It is the thing that is most difficult to do to your own work, because it's the thing that you're like, ‘But I grew this babe in my womb. I can't get rid of it.' And it's like, you do it in service of the rest of the thing that you have tended and grown. And it's such a hard lesson to learn and you have to teach it to yourself over and over again. Like David Grann had to teach it to himself again. But it makes a good writer.” - Shannon Ragan*”One of my biggest pieces of advice is that part of your strategy should be co-creating content with your prospects and customers. Like, that should be a pillar of your strategy. And all of the people who can't give you testimonials, who aren't legal approved to give you a quote, who can't do all that stuff, can come on your podcast and talk about everything but the thing.” - Ian Faison*”Think about where you want to end up. Like, do you want people to thank you for your content marketing? And if so, how do you build the path to get there? So yeah, think about where you want to end up, and then build your strategy and your editorial path to get there.” - Shannon RaganTime Stamps[0:55] Meet Shannon Ragan, former Director of Content Marketing at Authentic8[3:50] Content Marketing Insights from The Wager[5:33] David Grann's Research Journey[14:33] Crafting Authentic Content[15:21] Engaging with Customers through Content[16:11] The Power of Co-Creating Content[25:30] Marketing Strategy Overhaul[38:05] Character Development in Writing[42:06] Final Thoughts on Content StrategyLinksConnect with Shannon on LinkedInLearn more about Authentic8About Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Jonathan Small has been chronicling the failures and successes of people for most of his career. From doing his first interview (with George Carlin) to his sharing dating tips as “Jake” for Glamour magazine to his stint as an editor at Entrepreneur magazine to his experience interviewing hundreds of writers on his Write About Now podcast, Small has been a fly-on-the-wall for many failure-to-success stories.Now he's released a book made up of the origin stories of some of the writers he's interviewed, which I'm proud to say Legacy Launch Pad has published. With insights from as wide a variety of people as Killers of the Flower Moon author David Grann to 90s fashion queen Betsey Johnson, Write About Now reveals the failures and successes of a succession of greats.In this interview we talked about the main qualities successful people have in common, our shared experience starting our careers working at parenting magazines and why many companies would be far better off sharing the struggles of the founder, among many other topics.For more info, go to www.failyourway.com.

Patrick Millikin in conversation with Dean Jobb and  David Grann 

During the 2023 New Yorker Festival, three legendary staff writers got together to discuss the craft of investigative journalism: digging for information like detectives, and then presenting it in a way to rival the best thrillers. For each of these writers, the “bad guy” —whose actions usually set the story in motion – needs to be presented in three dimensions; trusting the reader to grapple with that person's perspective is key to an engrossing story. “I look at these big, boring issues often, like economic inequality or corruption in politics,” Jane Mayer says. “You take a subject like campaign finance – the Citizens United decision and how it's corrupted politics. If you can find somebody like [Charles or David] Koch and explain there actually was a billionaire behind so much of this, and he has a story, and he has a family, and there are always screwed-up fathers and sons involved in these families. . . . It means that you're able to explain the ethical choices people make.” Mayer is best known for her book “Dark Money,” about the Koch brothers; David Grann wrote “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “The Wager,” both best-sellers; and Patrick Radden Keefe covered the Sackler family's opioid dynasty in “Empire of Pain,” and a murder during the Troubles in Northern Ireland in “Say Nothing.”  They were joined by their editor, The New Yorker's Daniel Zalewski.

Welcome back to The Cromcast's dive into "The Broken Sword" by Poul Anderson. We've been through heck and back with these characters, but if Odin's presence is any indication, things aren't about to get better! Join us for the final turn with this fantastic tale and learn what fate befalls Skafloc and Valgerd!One ThingsJonathan: "The Wager" by David Grann, British naval chicanery Josh: "

Literary journalist David Grann talks about writing adventure and true crime stories, including The Wager and Killers of the Flower Moon.

Author David Grann often writes about obsession. His stories feature people doing extraordinary, and often dangerous or morally questionable things, in pursuit of ambitious goals. He’s the author of the books “Lost City of Z,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and his newest, “The Wager.” Grann is also obsessive about the research and details he puts into his books. We talk to Grann in front of a group of students at Nelson High School in Happy Valley.

Finally after many years and false starts Devon and Sejohn are ready to discuss Martin Scorsese's film adaptation of David Grann's true crime novel "Killers of the Flower Moon." As a bonus, since this is the first project featuring newly minted Academy Award Winner for Best Action Brendan Fraser it makes perfect sense for it all to happen during Brendan Fraser History Month.However, before we can discuss the film, we have to discuss the leaps and bounds that have occurred in these early days of the third wave streaming wars. Especially since in the two weeks that we first broached the topic lines have been draw in the sand and alliances formed revealing who will be working together in an attempt to find themselves the definitive king of streaming entertainment. 

Join Sunny and Kim as they discuss two true and fascinating adventure books: A Man of the World by Gilbert M Grosvenor and The Wager by David Grann. Both books involve travel and adventure as they take a look into history.

In Dostoevsky's book Crime and Punishment, the character Raskolnikov says, “All people seem to be divided into 'ordinary' and 'extraordinary'. The ordinary people must lead a life of strict obedience and have no right to transgress the law because they are ordinary. Whereas the extraordinary people have the right to commit any crime they like…just because they happen to be extraordinary.” Spoken like a true psychopath, my dude. It probably won't surprise you to hear that Raskolnikov murders an old woman in that book—not just for the money, but to prove to himself how “extraordinary” he is. That the rules most of us abide by aren't for him. Today's case is about a modern-day Raskolnikov—a self-proclaimed intellectual whose grandiose narcissism hid a deep well of rage and insecurity, and led him to not only commit a brutal murder, but to tell us all about it on his blog. Sources:The New Yorker, David Grann: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/02/11/true-crimeTaipei Times: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2007/09/23/2003380130The Guardian, Elizabeth Day: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2007/sep/16/crimebooks.featuresSky TV's "Killers: Behind the Myth," episode "Bala: The Novel Killer"Follow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfirehttps://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/Facebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comMERCH! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com

Book Club #95 - The Wager - Richard takes a Transatlantic call luckily in a time when it's much easier to traverse the oceans, with David Grann the best-selling author and journalist, about his fantastic book The Wager - A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder. It's an unbelievable and remarkable true story which has much to tell us about our history and the present day. David talks about what it's like to work on a book that goes on to be an Oscar Nominated move, Killers of the Flower Moon and how he discovered the largely forgotten story of The Wager, the meticulous research required to create a book like this and how to deal with conflicting accounts of the same story. Also the surprisingly horrendous effect of scurvy, the difficulty of persuading men to become sailors at a time when death seemed almost inevitable, the class divisions and racism that made the crew of The Wager's nightmare voyage even more nightmarish, how a cut off ear was the impetus for all of this madness and David's slightly insane trip to visit Wager Island and why it was worthwhile. A really excellent chat about a highly recommended book.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-real-hero-pa-david-grann/3440772?ean=9781471183706Or the audiobook here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audible-The-Wager/dp/B0BPTL14T5/See Rich's stand-up tour Can I Have My Ball Back - https://richardherring.com/ballback/ Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

Join Dan as he narrates the harrowing story of the HMS Wager and its crew's descent into mutiny and survival against all odds. Set against the backdrop of the War of Jenkins' Ear, the Wager, a British warship, was part of a secret squadron sent to attack Spanish holdings in the Pacific but, tragedy struck as the ship was wrecked off the desolate coast of Patagonia during a storm in 1741.With expert testimony from David Grann, the author of the best-selling HMS Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder, this episode delves into the ensuing struggle for leadership as the survivors split into factions, the deterioration of their psychological state due to the appalling conditions and the moral quandaries of mutiny and loyalty the men faced as they clung to life.Written by Dan Snow and edited by Dougal Patmore.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

Warning: If you prefer to watch a film with a blank slate, don't listen to this episode if you haven't seen or read Killers of the Flower Moon. While it doesn't give away spoilers or information that isn't widely known, and the film itself will be a powerful discovery given the stunning directing, acting, and musical score, it does prepare you for an unforgettable experience with a crash course on the brutal history.    Andrea and Terrell Starr of the essential Black Diplomats Podcast and Substack have been watching the rich offering of Best Picture Oscar contenders, and have a lot to say about Killers of the Flower Moon. While it was eclipsed by buzzier films like Oppenheimer and Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon is a monumental masterpiece that explains how America was founded and the forces we are up against today. No one should be surprised by Trump. Trumpism is what founded our country.    Killers of the Flower Moon reminds us of the urgent importance and power of art.

This week on Rational Security, just Scott was joined for a Bizarro-world episode with guests Lawfare Senior Editor and Brookings Senior Fellow Molly Reynolds (back for a second episode in a row!) and Lawfare Legal Fellow Anna Bower! They talked over some of the week's big stories, including:“Two Houses, Divided Against Themselves...” The fate of key national security legislation—including the Ukraine supplemental and border legislation—is increasingly coming down to the increasingly dysfunctional dynamics within and between the two chambers of Congress. What does this tell us about how our most democratic institution is operating?“Fani, Be Tender With My Love.” In recent weeks, Fulton Co. Prosecutor Fani Willis's case against former President Trump and his associates has been endangered by rumors that she is engaged in a longstanding affair with subordinate prosecutor Nathan Wade—and that she extended the investigation to secure more salary for him. But is the story more smoke than fire?“Carpe Seize ‘Em.” The Biden administration has officially come out in qualified support of seizing Russia's frozen assets to compensate Ukraine, and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is scheduled to consider authorizing legislation this week. Is this finally a route to accountability? Or do the associated risks outweigh the benefits?For object lessons, Molly endorsed David Grann's latest book, “The Wager.” Scott shouted out listener Paul whose birthday party he inadvertently crashed this past weekend, and urged other listeners to come say hi if they see him in the wild! And Anna urged anyone seeking a divorce in the state of Georgia to seek out the fine people at the Cobb County courthouse (who also make a lovely salad).Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Today, we're bringing you an episode from another Pushkin show, Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford. This episode is based on Killers of the Flower Moon, with permission from its author, David Grann. Minnie Smith grew sick quite suddenly. She had been young, fit and healthy; the doctors were baffled when she died. "A peculiar wasting illness," they called it. Then, her sister Anna went missing. She was found a week later, dead, with a gunshot wound to her head. When a third sister, Rita, died in an explosion at her home, the grim pattern was clear: the family was under attack. Lawman Tom White came to town to investigate, and uncovered a vicious plot. This episode is the first of two cautionary tales produced in association with Apple Original Films. The Killers of the Flower Moon movie is in theaters now. It's directed by Martin Scorsese, and stars Robert DeNiro, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kihekah Avenue cuts through the town of Pawhuska, Okla., roughly north to south, forming the only corridor you might call a “business district” in the town of 2,900. Standing in the middle is a small TV-and-appliance store called Hometown, which occupies a two-story brick building and hasn't changed much in decades. Boards cover its second-story windows, and part of the sign above its awning is broken, leaving half the lettering intact, spelling “Home.”One winter day in February 2021, Jack Fisk stood before Hometown with Martin Scorsese, explaining how beautiful it could be. For much of the last week, he and Scorsese had been walking around Pawhuska, scouting set locations for the director's 28th feature film, “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The film, which is based on David Grann's best-selling book, chronicles the so-called 1920s Reign of Terror, when the Osage Nation's discovery of oil made them some of the richest people in the world but also the target of a conspiracy among white people seeking to kill them for their shares of the mineral rights.To render the events as accurately as possible, Scorsese had decided to film the movie in Osage County. It would be a sprawling, technically complicated shoot, with much of the undertaking falling to Fisk. Unlike production designers who use soundstages or computer-generated imagery, he prefers to build from scratch or to remodel period buildings, and even more than most of his peers, he aspires to exacting historical detail. His task would be to create a full-scale replica of a 1920s boom town atop what remains of 2020s Pawhuska.This story was recorded by Audm.

Martin Scorsese's film, based on David Grann's 2017 book, tells the true story of white men in the 1920s who married into and systematically murdered Osage families to gain claims to their oil-rich land. Grann spoke with Dave Davies about this story when the book came out. Also, Justin Chang shares his review of the movie.
