On this day in Tudor history, 10 October 1530, Thomas Grey, 2nd Marquess of Dorset, died. Soldier, jouster, courtier, and grandfather of Lady Jane Grey, he lived a life that perfectly captured the dangers and rewards of Tudor ambition. Born into royalty - grandson of Elizabeth Woodville and Katherine Neville, sister of the Kingmaker - Thomas grew up in the shadow of shifting alliances and rebellion. He was imprisoned by Henry VII, restored under Henry VIII, and rose again through charm, courage, and sheer survival instinct. - He dazzled at court tournaments, fought in France in 1513, escorted Mary Tudor to her French wedding, and bore the sword of state at the Field of Cloth of Gold. - He sat in judgment on the Duke of Buckingham, backed Henry VIII's annulment, and—when the tides turned—joined the charges against Cardinal Wolsey. - Yet behind the glitter was a man who fought feuds, faced imprisonment, and watched power slip as easily as it came. By his death, he was one of England's wealthiest nobles—and the patriarch of a line that would end in tragedy with Lady Jane Grey. Join me,  historian and author Claire Ridgway, for the remarkable story of a Tudor magnate who lived, fought, and schemed at the heart of power.

Queen Elizabeth replays a tape of her husband King Edward's band as she obsesses over his failing health. Her brother, Lord Rivers, tries to comfort her, as do her two sons from a previous marriage, Gray and Dorset. She tells them that the sons she conceived with Edward are still too young to rule, and that if her husband dies, the throne will go to Richard until the oldest son comes of age, putting her safety in jeopardy. Buckingham and Derby arrive to report that King Edward's health is improving and that he wants to make peace between Richard and Elizabeth's clans. Richard barges in with Hastings at his side, railing that he's being disrespected and that people are telling lies about him. Elizabeth does her best to defend herself against his accusation that she put Clarence in jail and that she is vying for the throne. As they argue, the old Queen Margaret arrives unseen and listens to them from outside the house, commenting bitterly to herself about how quickly power is lost. She finally confronts the group and berates Richard for the murders of her family before cursing everyone in the room, one by one. After she departs, Catesby enters to say that King Edward wants to talk to his family. Richard, left alone, celebrates his mischief, then hires two murderers to kill his brother Clarence in the Tower. There, Clarence tells Brackenbury (the jailer) about a nightmare he had in which he drowned trying to rescue Richard and was dragged down to hell.

Out walking in the countryside, a man spots something different about a hill in Symondsbury, Dorset. Intrigued, he finds himself inexorably drawn into the ancient battle between good and evil. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “THE HILL” by R. Ellis Roberts, 1923.

This lecture looks at the evolution of Guantánamo Bay, first as a focal point of Haitian immigration in 1991 (Gitmo 1.0), to the more famous detention of terror suspects in 2002 (Gitmo 2.0), and back to immigration in 2025. We will explore how Gitmo 3.0 is probably already over, and how we were able to head it off so quickly through legal challenges. However, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said the U.S. is “actively searching” for countries to accept migrants deported from the U.S., with both El Salvador and Rwanda under consideration. We will discuss how lessons from legal action around Guantánamo Bay might translate to other settings.This lecture was recorded by Clive Stafford Smith on 18th September 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Clive is the Gresham Professor of LawHe is the founder and director of  the Justice League a non-profit human rights training centre focused on fostering the next generation of advocates.  He also teaches part time at Bristol Law School and Goldsmiths as well as running a summer programme for 35 students in Dorset, his home. He has received all kinds of awards in recognition of his work, including an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II for “services to humanity” in 2000. He has been a member of the Louisiana State Bar since 1984.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/guantanamoGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

As his older brother, the newly crowned King Edward, weakens with illness, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, lays out his plans to take the throne. He frames his brother Clarence for conspiring to kill Edward, then convinces Lady Anne, the widow of the previous King Henry, to marry him, even though he killed her husband and their son.

‘From Waterloo Station to the small country town of Ramsgard in Dorset is a journey of not more than three or four hours, but having by good luck found a compartment to himself, Wolf Solent was able to indulge in such an orgy of concentrated thought, that these three or four hours lengthened themselves out into something beyond all human measurement.' We rejoin Sally this week in conversation with the producer, James Bowen, discussing how to navigate, and ultimately teach, ‘difficult' literature, drawing on John Cooper Powys' Wolf Solent (1929) and James Joyce's Ulysses (1922). Listen for a discussion of ambiguity, pedagogy, and the role of the author in narrative resolution. More information on Powys can be found here. Sally's fable, Worm in the Bud, will be published in November of this year by The New Menard Press. It will be available from all good booksellers. You can also find out more about James and his work here. This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen. Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus.

In the heart of Dorset lies a place where history and horror are tightly bound in stone — Dorchester Prison. Built in 1795, this grim institution stood for over two centuries, its walls witnessing the cries of the condemned, the despair of the forgotten, and the shadow of death itself.From the public hangings that drew crowds in the thousands to the chilling stories of restless spirits said to linger long after the last execution,Dorchester Prison is more than just a relic of the past.It is a place where England's justice system, in all its brutality, left its mark on countless lives. In this episode we step inside those heavy gates,to uncover tales of punishment, suffering, and the echoes that still haunt its crumbling corridors. Welcome… to the story of Dorchester Prison.

Tonight on the podcast, we hear from two guests on opposite sides of the Atlantic whose lives have been marked by strange encounters.First, Peter from Dorset, England, recalls a flight from Manila in the Philippines to London when passengers were suddenly ordered to close their window shutters. Curious, he left his half open and watched as a fast-moving object shot beneath the plane. What followed was even stranger: a disembodied voice in his mind instructing him to “tell them you saw too.” Decades later, the memory remains as vivid and puzzling as the day it happened. Then we're joined by Jimmy from Ohio, who grew up with nightly visitations in his apartment, shadow figures at his bedside and ghostly apparitions in the doorway. But after moving into a house, his experiences shifted into the realm of UFOs. He describes lights descending through the ceiling and repeated face-to-face encounters with a towering mantis-like being. Two voices, two continents, and two very different lives, but both Peter and Jimmy carry the same enduring question: what exactly is visiting us, and why?More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-350-voices-and-visitors/Hidden Cults (Promo)It is a documentary-style podcast that digs deep into the world's most extreme, elusive, and explosive fringe groups.

After over 6 months, the Antlered Path podcast returns with an episode linked to tree spirits! I share an opening meditative connection to World Mother Tree, to help us ease into a sacred space.I share folklore and other insights into tree spirits together with poetry and hone in on two species in particular - Hawthorn and Hazel.I have a lovely guest this episode, Louise Tarrier. I have known Louise for many years. We started a women's circle together out on the land in mid Dorset and have a very deep shared love of trees! So it was a lovely gift to have Louise with me to share this passion. She has spent over a decade involved in reforestation and ecological repair, including her work with Carbon Positive Australia, where she supported large-scale tree planting initiatives across Western Australia. There, she witnessed the quiet resilience of the land — and the powerful role of trees in healing it.  Her work is grounded in both transpersonal psychology and conscious leadership, and she brings these threads together through her platform She Changes, guiding individuals and organisations to lead, from a place of passion in purpose, and  in harmony with nature — not separate from it.

September Witchcraft - Harvest Moon, Mabon, Heather & The White Hare In this episode, I'm stepping into the autumn magic of September — a time of gathering, gratitude and transition. We begin with the Harvest Full Moon, exploring its folklore and how you can weave its abundant energy into your craft. I dive into the lore of Heather — a plant long tied to luck, protection, and threshold spaces — and share its magical properties for spellwork and ritual. We celebrate Mabon, the autumn equinox, a sabbat of balance, harvest, and honouring the turning of the wheel. To close I read the folk tale of The White Hare — a story from Dorset legend filled with mystery and enchantment. Plus, I review The Cornish Witch by Elena Collins — a time-slip novel brimming with spirits, Cornwall's landscape and the whisper of magic. Whether you're preparing your altar for Mabon, gathering herbs beneath the Harvest Moon, or simply soaking in September's shifting energy, this episode will guide you deeper into the magic of the season. Harvest Moon Tarot/Oracle Spread (5 cards — can be done with tarot, oracle, or a mix)  The Harvest — What have I gathered this season? → What blessings, lessons, or abundance is ripe and ready to acknowledge.  The Gratitude — What deserves my thanks right now? → Where to pour appreciation to strengthen roots.  The Balance — What is seeking harmony within me? → What needs to be brought into balance at this turning point of light and dark.  The Release — What must I let go of before winter? → Habits, fears, or weights that cannot come with you into the darker half of the year.  The Illumination — What guidance does the Harvest Moon shine upon my path? → The wisdom or vision that lights the way ahead.  Harvest Moon Journal Prompts  What am I most proud of harvesting this year — in work, spirit, relationships, or self?  Where in my life am I being called to pause and give gratitude?  What feels “out of balance” in me right now, and how might I restore harmony?  What am I ready to lay down, release, or compost before the dark months?  If the Harvest Moon could whisper one message to me, what would it be?  What seeds of intention do I want to carry safely through the winter, to blossom when light returns?

1. Kingmaker: Pamela Harriman's Astonishing Life of Power, Seduction, and Intrigue by Sonia Purnell chronicles the extraordinary life of Pamela Digby, later Pamela Harriman, a woman who masterfully leveraged her personal connections and keen intellect to become a significant, albeit often behind-the-scenes, figure in 20th-century politics. Born into an aristocratic but cash-strapped family in rural Dorset in 1920, Pamela Digby received a limited education but possessed a sharp mind. Her desire to escape her constrained upbringing led her to an impetuous marriage with Randolph Churchill, Winston Churchill's son, in September 1939. Despite warnings about Randolph's philandering and abusive nature, she saw the marriage as a doorway to an exciting lifestyle and a way to avoid returning to Dorset. During World War II, as her marriage to Randolph deteriorated, Pamela forged a close bond with Winston Churchill. She quickly became Churchill's secret weapon, joining his inner circle, "Padlock," and gathering crucial intelligence from influential Americans. Her most notable liaison was with Averell Harriman, the 49-year-old in charge of Lend-Lease, whom she successfully "enlisted to the British cause" and "bewitched" with her charm and strategic "mating dance". She also influenced figures like CBS star Ed Murrow, feeding him information to bolster British support in American broadcasts. Her wartime experiences, including giving birth during a Blitz air raid, deeply shaped her perspective. After the war, Pamela continued to cultivate influential relationships, including with Gianni Agnelli of Fiat, whom she helped gain acceptance in Washington. She later moved to America, marrying producer Leland Hayward in the late 1950s. While in the US, she was a close friend of President John F. Kennedy, whose assassination deeply affected her. Following Leland Hayward's death, which left her financially depleted, Pamela re-encountered and married Averell Harriman. This marriage marked her full immersion into American politics. She transformed their Washington D.C. home into a hub for Democrats, making Harriman feel like a king and advancing her own influence. She was an early advocate for women's political involvement, pushing beyond the traditional role of a political hostess to focus on policy and candidates. Pamela became a crucial mentor to Bill Clinton after his 1980 gubernatorial loss, restoring his self-belief and providing strategic guidance, including advice on television appearances. Her efforts were instrumental in shaping the Democratic party and contributing to its successes, including Clinton's 1992 presidential victory. As a reward, President Clinton appointed her Ambassador to Paris, a role she embraced despite her lack of formal diplomatic training. In this position, she played a decisive role in strengthening Franco-American relations and bringing a "moral compass" to the Bosnia crisis, drawing on her own wartime experiences to urge intervention. Pamela Harrimandied in 1997 from a brain hemorrhage, with Bill Clinton delivering an emotional eulogy, acknowledging her indispensable role in his political journey and her significant contributions to the 20th century. 1827 FOREIGN OFFICE AND DOWNING STREET

Richard Ames, tour manager for Kate's Tour of Life in 1979 chats with Darrell from Bush Telegraph. Richard's professional and personable qualities were always sought after by many leading bands and musicians, including Fleetwood Mac, Paul McCartney and Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel to name just a few. He talks about his work with Kate and the process of how the tour all came together, from meeting with Kate and her family at East Wickham Farm to the heady days of the rehearsals and sold out performances. We also get a glimpse of the genius of Kate's creative mind and artistry as we go behind the scenes of this once-in-a-lifetime tour, when she was still only 20 years old. With the highs also came the lows, and Richard talks about the devastating loss of lighting engineer, Bill Duffield on the first leg of the tour in Poole, Dorset. Outside of this tragic story, there are still many other stories and experiences that will bring a smile to your face. Let's go back to 1979, and see the young Kate at work on stage...

EP159: Amy's Journey: Discovering freedom after trauma and disordered eating * Please Note - This episode discusses early childhood abuse and may be upsetting for some listeners. In this deeply moving episode of the Weight Loss Warrior Podcast, I sit down with Amy from Dorset, who has one of the most powerful transformation stories I've ever shared on the show. Amy bravely opens up about her past, including childhood trauma and how it led to binge eating disorder, secret eating, and years of believing that her life was already over. At her heaviest, everyday life became a struggle - from not fitting into seats and breaking chairs, to withdrawing from relationships because she believed she wasn't worthy of love. But Amy's story is also one of resilience and hope. Through counselling, a defining mindset shift, and a determination to reclaim her life, she went on to lose an incredible 13 stone (183lbs / 83kg). More importantly, she discovered self-belief, freedom, and the joy of truly nourishing her body. We discuss:

In a week that saw Donald Trump visit Scotland and the Dog Surfing Championships take place in Dorset, we’re going to be discussing some of the other stories that inspired The Week Junior team.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"In the last episode I mentioned that a young John Ash was baptized and joined the Loughwood Baptist Church in Dorset. This church erected a chapel in the 1650s that is still standing; a beautiful little building fully restored by Great Britain's National Trust. But before I tell you some of the story of the church, let me tell you about the chapel itself because it one of the oldest and loveliest Baptist meetinghouses still standing in England."

It's Devon vs Dorset when Vicky goes up against Richard on the quiz!

Pete Scott didn't grow up dreaming of becoming a photographer — he never even went to art school. But over the last decade, he's quietly built a stunning wildlife and landscape portfolio, capturing everything from owls to kingfishers to badgers to foxes to coastal starry night shots or even swallows in flight. In our talk, Pete shares how it all started — how a misty morning with a fox changed his life behind the lens. We talk about the slow approach to wildlife, how patience beats gear, and what it really takes to photograph wild animals without disturbing them. He also walks us through his gear choices, how he films his peaceful YouTube wildlife vlogs, opposing the UK's controversial badger culls and fox hunting practices — and using his voice and images to speak up for the nature he spends so much time with, in Dorset's forests, fields, or coastline which offer endless inspiration. But Pete also opens up about something more personal: his volunteer initiative AIM, which renovates homes for families with terminally ill children — at no cost but making a huge impact outside the spotlight... It's a photography podcast, yes, but we also need to talk about about purpose, compassion, and showing up for the world in quiet, powerful ways. Whether you're just starting out or deep in your photography journey, Pete's story is a reminder that beautiful images — and meaningful lives — don't require a rule book. *****

The soul suckers of private equity, Douglas Murray on Epstein and MAGA & are literary sequels ‘lazy'?First up: how private equity is ruining BritainGus Carter writes in the magazine this week about how foreign private equity (PE) is hollowing out Britain – PE now owns everything from a Pret a Manger to a Dorset village, and even the number of children's homes owned by PE has doubled in the last five years. This ‘gives capitalism a bad name', he writes. Perhaps the most symbolic example is in the water industry, with water firms now squeezed for money and saddled with debt. British water firms now have a debt-to-equity ratio of 70%, compared to just 4% in 1991. Britain's desperation for foreign money has, quite literally, left Britain ‘in the shit'. Gus joined the podcast to discuss further, alongside the journalist Megan Greenwell, author of Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream. (00:46)Next: why is MAGA so incensed over Jeffrey Epstein?Six years after he died, the Jeffrey Epstein scandal is still haunting Donald Trump. Trump had vowed to release all files on various cases that attract conspiracy theorists – from JFK to Martin Luther King Jr. What makes the Epstein case different, as Douglas Murray writes in the magazine this week, is that the case was so recent and Epstein's ties with the elites, many of whom are still in power. Trump appeared to backtrack on releasing files relating to Epstein, prompting ire from the MAGA world, and there is now mounting cross-party pressure to uncover who knew what. Mike Johnson, the House speaker, sent representatives home early for summer, and there is even talk of Ghislaine Maxwell testifying.  Why is the Epstein scandal such a lightning rod for MAGA rage? Douglas Murray joined the Spectator to discuss. The full interview can be found on Spectator TV. (15:49)And finally: are literary sequels ‘lazy'?It's ‘sod's law', says the Spectator's literary editor Sam Leith, that when a friend's book is due to be reviewed in the pages of the books section that you edit, the review will be bad. Mike Cormack reviews Men In Love by Irvine Welsh this week, calling the decision by Welsh to pen another sequel to Trainspotting ‘lazy'. At the Spectator this made us ponder whether this is true of all literary sequels, and what motivates authors to stick with characters and stories that they know.Sam joined us to discuss further alongside Lucy Thynne, the Telegraph's deputy literary editor. (33:59)Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Megan McElroy.
