The spirit had vowed to put John Bell in his grave, and on a December morning in 1820 a coma, a smoky vial of black poison, and a dead barn cat proved she meant every word.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/bellwitchfinallaughREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yfpsnbfwFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Did a malevolent spirit cause the death of John Bell, or was it something else that brought his demise?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2021Weird Darkness gathers four accounts of the inexplicable across this episode — a frontier farmer poisoned by a spirit, a midnight keyboard played by no one, the worldwide superstitions surrounding human skulls, and a hidden reading of the Watergate burglary.It opens with the death of John Bell, the Tennessee gentleman farmer remembered as the only man ever murdered by a spirit. For nearly four years the entity known as the Bell Witch had tormented his household with attacks, flying objects, and a disembodied voice, singling out Bell and his daughter Elizabeth, called Betsy, for the worst of it. On the morning of December 19, 1820, Bell could not be roused from a deep stupor, and his son John Jr. found the cupboard of prescribed medicines emptied and replaced by a smoky-looking vial holding a dark, nearly black liquid. The witch laughed over his bed and admitted she had dosed "Old Jack" the night before; when Alex Gunn brought in a barn cat and a straw of the liquid was drawn across its tongue, the animal screeched, whirled, and dropped dead. Dr. Hopson confirmed Bell had swallowed the contents, Frank Miles hurled the vial into the fire where it flared blue up the chimney, and Bell died early on December 20, 1820, never having woken.From there the episode turns to a quieter haunting, recounted by a father awakened at 1:14 a.m. on March 9, 2018 by a few composed notes from his twelve-year-old son's electronic keyboard. He found the boy sound asleep and the cat sitting upright on the bed, staring at the instrument, and when he pressed the keys himself no sound came because the power was switched off. The next morning he woke his son for school and recognized the boy's shirt, worn for the first time, as one that had belonged to his late brother, who died suddenly in 2015 and whose lifelong dream had been to play in his band, called Ghost Of. The shirt read "Rock Isn't Dead… it's just played by Ghost Of," and the brothers had shared a love of ghost stories and a standing joke that he would return to visit after death.Next comes a survey of the human skull as an object of dread and reverence stretching back through cultures on every continent, rooted in the old belief that the head housed the soul and offered a channel to the Other World. The segment weighs the disputed Celtic "Cult of the Head," with historian Ronald Hutton arguing the recurring head motif on Celtic metalwork reflects artistic fashion rather than worship, and moves through the 1612 trial of Lancashire witch Anne Chattox, hanged after she was accused of robbing graves for skulls and teeth. It gathers the screaming-skull legends of England, including Anne Griffiths of Burton Agnes Hall in Yorkshire, whose exhumed head was bricked into a staircase wall to quiet the slamming and crashing, and the skull at Bettiscombe Manor in Dorset, said to belong to an enslaved man brought from Nevis by the Pinney family and denied his promised burial in the Caribbean.The episode closes with a long, skeptical reexamination of Watergate that treats the official account as a fabrication. It returns to the June 17, 1972 arrest of five burglars inside the Democratic National Committee offices and the address book linking E. Howard Hunt to Nixon's White House, then argues, following journalist Jim Hougan's 1984 book Secret Agenda, that the men never actually bugged the building at all. James McCord, a senior figure in the CIA's Office of Security rather than the low-level technician he claimed, rented a line-of-sight surveillance room facing the wrong side of the complex, paid an employee to transcribe conversations from nonexistent wiretaps, and twice taped the stairwell locks horizontally across the door face so guards could not miss them. A key found on burglar Eugenio Martinez fit the desk of DNC secretary Ida Wells and pointed toward a suspected call-girl ring run out of the adjacent Columbia Plaza apartments, raising the possibility that Hunt and McCord, both career CIA men who lied about a decade-long association, sabotaged the break-in to shield a clandestine operation, to topple a president who had sidelined the agency, or both, taking the full truth with them to their graves.
Edward Chisholm joins Adam Biles to discuss Murder in Paris '68, his deep-dive into the Markovic Affair, one of the most explosive scandals of postwar France. In October 1968, the dismembered body of Stevan Markovic, a Yugoslav immigrant and bodyguard to Alain Delon, was found on the outskirts of Paris. The case implicated France's most iconic film star, the Corsican “milieu”, and eventually the Élysée Palace itself.Chisholm traces how he stumbled onto the story in an obscure Parisian crime library, and what followed: years of obsessive research, classified archives in the suburbs of Versailles, and a surveillance-heavy reading desk watched over by attentive archivists. The conversation covers Delon's impenetrable persona, the Ripley parallels, France's Resistance-era ties between politicians and gangsters, and why a murder nobody solved still can't be fully declassified today.Buy Murder in Paris '68: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/murder-in-paris-68-2*Edward Chisholm was born in Dorset, England, and moved to Paris in 2012 where he worked all manner of low-paid jobs, from waiting and bar work to museum security and market hand, while trying to build a career as a writer. His memoir, A Waiter In Paris has sold over 100,000 copies and has been translated into several languages. Now, Chisholm makes a living as a creative director, author and screenwriter, based in Switzerland. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Guardian and the Financial Times magazine.Adam Biles is Literary Director at Shakespeare and Company.Listen to Alex Freiman's latest EP, In The Beginning: https://open.spotify.com/album/5iZYPMCUnG7xiCtsFCBlVa?si=h5x3FK1URq6SwH9Kb_SO3w Hosted on Acast.

In episode 255, Max chats with England international cricketer and Perth Scorchers star David Payne! From playing club cricket in Dorset to representing England on the international stage, David's journey is a story of perseverance, resilience and taking advantage of every opportunity that came his way. David takes us inside his recent IPL experience with the Sunrisers Hyderabad, including what it was like sharing a dressing room with Pat Cummins and Travis Head, making his IPL debut, taking his first wicket, and the emotions of having his tournament cut short through injury. We also dive into his remarkable cricket journey, from earning an England Under-19 World Cup selection alongside future stars Ben Stokes, Joe Root and Jos Buttler, to navigating the challenges of county cricket, dealing with setbacks, and eventually earning his England debut after years of persistence. David shares incredible stories from inside the England setup, the lessons he learned from some of the game's biggest names, and the mindset that helped him establish himself as one of the world's leading T20 bowlers. Plus, we discuss the pressure of bowling at the death, winning championships with the Perth Scorchers, the realities of franchise cricket, handling expectations, and why mindset and resilience are often the difference between success and failure in professional sport. A fascinating conversation on high performance, leadership, overcoming setbacks, and life at the highest level of world cricket. All this and much more in episode 255 of Sporting Max! www.instagram.com/sportingmax.podcast/

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November 28, 2021Weird Darkness host Darren Marlar moves from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas to a phantom black dog in the English county of Dorset, the murder and dismemberment of a retired sea captain on a quiet island in Washington's San Juan archipelago, and the 1901 killing of a young woman in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, whose spirit is said to still walk her family home.It opens in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963, where President John F. Kennedy was shot and the Warren Commission, headed by Judge Earl Warren, concluded in 1964 that ex-Marine Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots alone from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. Eyewitnesses undercut that account from the start: Arnold Rowland saw two men at the window minutes earlier, one holding a rifle and neither matching Oswald, while secretaries Victoria Adams and Sandra Styles and caretaker Jack Dougherty never saw Oswald flee down the only staircase he could have used. The episode dismantles Arlen Specter's single-bullet theory — the claim that Commission Exhibit 399 passed through Kennedy's neck and inflicted five separate wounds on Governor John Connally before turning up nearly pristine on a Parkland Hospital stretcher — a conclusion Connally and his wife Nellie both rejected and Abraham Zapruder's home film contradicts on timing. Oswald's negative paraffin test, his suspicious 1959 defection to the Soviet Union and fluent Russian, his leafleting against the Fair Play for Cuba Committee alongside FBI-linked investigator Guy Banister, and a Mexico City impersonation so plain that J. Edgar Hoover told President Lyndon Johnson the recorded voice and surveillance photograph did not match the man in custody all steer the evidence away from a lone gunman. The thread ends with Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby, whose out-of-state mob contacts spiked twenty-fivefold before he shot Oswald on live television and whose 1965 hint that the truth would never surface still shadows the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle that remains the strongest piece against the accused.From there the tone turns to folklore and a listener's firsthand sighting of Black Shuck, the spectral black dog reported for centuries across Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and East Anglia and long treated as an omen of coming disaster. Camping alone beside a medieval moat near Raoul Castle in East Dorset, he watched the dark shape of a large dog settle on the far embankment and stare back at him, then rise and dissolve into nothing as every nearby sound of wildlife cut out, leaving him zipped inside his tent until morning.Next comes the disappearance of Rolf Neslund, an 83-year-old retired sea captain who in 1978 drove a 550-foot freighter into the West Seattle Bridge before retreating into a drink-soaked marriage on Lopez Island in Washington's San Juan Islands. When Rolf vanished in August 1980, his wife Ruth insisted he had flown home to Norway, yet his prescriptions went unfilled, his American and Norwegian bank accounts went untouched, and no Christmas card reached his relatives that December. In 1982 Ruth's brother told police she had confessed that on August 8, 1980, a second brother held Rolf down while she shot him twice in the head, after which the body was dismembered in the bathtub, burned in a backyard barrel, and scattered on the manure pile. A search turned up replaced carpet over bloodstains, spatter on the ceiling, and a bloodstained .38-caliber Smith & Wesson hidden in Ruth's dresser, tying her to a killing that began as a fight over the roughly $80,000 she had quietly moved into an account bearing only her name; convicted in 1985 and sentenced to twenty years, she maintained her innocence until her death at seventy-three.The episode closes with nineteen-year-old Nell Cropsey, who walked onto the front porch of her family's Elizabeth City, North Carolina home with her suitor Jim Wilcox on the night of November 20, 1901, and was never seen alive again. Her body surfaced in the Pasquotank River on December 27, her death caused by a violent blow to the left temple, and Wilcox — the son of the local sheriff, known for a fierce temper — was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to thirty years before Governor Thomas Walter Bickett pardoned him in 1918. Once freed, Wilcox sought out newspaper editor W.O. Saunders to reveal something so startling that Saunders began planning a book, but Wilcox killed himself with a shotgun before he could tell it, Saunders died soon afterward in a car wreck, and whatever he knew went with them. More than a century on, the former Cropsey home still answers with lights that switch on and off, doors that open by themselves, faucets that run with no hand on the tap, and a pale young woman glimpsed crossing empty rooms and gazing from an upstairs window — recognized by more than one resident as Nell, her killing never truly solved.

In episode 297 of the Kite Podcast, Will Evans and Ben Eagle are joined by Rob Daykin from Daykin Partnership, Shropshire farmer Tim Downes, event host and Leicestershire farmer Will Armitage and Dorset farmer Sophie Gregory, as well as podcast producer Becki Reay. They discuss the evolution of the organic dairy sector, and the upcoming organic dairy conference run by the Organic Dairy Round Table, taking place in Leicestershire next week. The Organic Dairy Roundtable has been key in bringing farmers, processors, and retailers together around a shared goal of promoting organic dairy. It creates space for open, honest discussions and constructive challenge. As chair Sophie Gregory highlights, the focus is on giving the sector a voice, direction and turning conversations into real action. The episode dives deep into the state of the organic dairy market, which has seen fluctuations over the years. Will Armitage explains how the Roundtable has helped the sector respond to market signals and make sure farmers are heard. A big theme throughout is the need for farmers to work together to tackle market challenges. No milk market update from Chris Walkland this week.

Vikingarna på Grönland levde på randen till den kända världen. Där var jordbruket en balansakt och järn, timmer och måste komma utifrån. Handeln blev den livlina som band grönlänningarna till Skandinavien och vidare till Europa.Därför reste vikingarna hundra tals mil norrut på somrarna i öppna små båtar för att få tillgång till en eftertraktad handelsvara – valrossbetar. Betar som kunde förvandlas till romanska krucifix, exklusiva skrin och andra statusföremål i Europas kyrkor och furstehov.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist, professor i historia, med särskild inriktning på historiska geografi vid Stockholms universitet, om hur modern arkeogenetik och nya tolkningar av handel och resurser kastar nytt ljus över nordbornas valrossjakt – och varför den blev så central för koloniernas liv på Grönland.När Erik den röde och andra islänningar grundade de grönländska bygderna omkring år 985 etablerade de sig som boskapsskötande bönder i fjordlandskapet i sydväst: Österbygden i söder och Västerbygden längre norrut. Traditionellt skandinaviskt jordbruk var svårt att bedriva i en arktisk miljö och jakt blev en överlevnadsfråga.Valrossbetar var en högvärdig, tät och transportvänlig exportvara, och nordbornas läge gav dem tillgång till stora bestånd norr om bygderna. I skriftliga källor beskrivs sommarens jaktexpeditioner till Norðrsetur (”de norra jaktmarkerna”). De kunde pågå nästan hela sommaren och tömde därmed bygderna på arbetskraft – just när den korta jordbrukssäsongen var som mest intensiv.Den stora nyheten är den högupplösta kartläggningen i en Science Advances-studie (27 september 2024), där ett urval kulturföremål av valrosselfenben genetiskt källbestäms till konkreta jaktområden och delas in i två perioder: en tidig (före cirka 1120) och en sen (efter cirka 1120).Här blir DNA-resultaten historiskt explosiva: de antyder en systematisk förskjutning från lokala till allt mer avlägsna jaktmarker. Forskarna tolkar det som en ekologisk dominoeffekt – där trycket på mer lättåtkomliga bestånd ökar och driver expansionen norrut.Att flytta jakten norrut var inte bara en fråga om vilja, utan om kapacitet. Studien diskuterar att nordborna kan ha haft ett mycket begränsat tidsfönster – omkring tio veckor – för sommarens jakt, och att olika fartygstyper kan ha använts: från mindre, roddbaserade båtar till större expeditionsfartyg med betydligt större besättning.När jaktens tyngdpunkt förskjuts mot North Water Polynya hamnar den dessutom i ett område där andra arktiska grupper rört sig. Studien väger tre scenarier: att nordborna jagade själva, att de fick elfenben via utbyte med arktiska jägare, eller en kombination. För den tidiga perioden bedöms direkt nordisk jakt som mest sannolik. För den senare perioden öppnas tydligare möjligheter för interaktion i högarktis, inte minst eftersom Tuniit (sen Dorset) och senare Thule-inuiter fanns i och kring dessa områden.Samtidigt är själva byteshandeln svår att bevisa i detalj. Ändå finns indikationer på kontakter: nordiskt material dyker upp på Thule-platser under 1200–1300-talen, och forskarna pekar på möjliga möteszoner i nordliga farvatten.Om valrossbetarna var koloniernas styrka kunde det också bli deras svaghet.

F-Stop Collaborate and Listen - A Landscape Photography Podcast
In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, host Matt Payne interviews wildlife photographer and conservationist Ian Wood, delving into his impactful work raising awareness for orangutans and badgers. Ian Wood shares the story behind his award-winning urban badger photograph, which sparked renewed public attention and activism regarding the controversial UK badger cull, ultimately contributing to policy change. He discusses his passion for conservation-driven photography, from rewilding land in Dorset to fundraising for the Orangutan Foundation UK, and offers practical wisdom about making a difference, the importance of passion, and the responsibilities photographers have when their work intersects with public opinion and policy. Throughout, Ian Wood highlights hopeful conservation stories and encourages photographers to follow their passion, build relationships, and trust in their ability to drive change.

Separating The Artist From The Art I am in the lovely Dorset town of Wimborne just outside the Minster. And in this solo show I am talking about separating the artist from the art. I'm reflecting on how revisionist history has changed our attitudes towards people from the past but also we're currently going through a transition stage where people who are writing great books and works of art are being cancelled because of their private lives or comments. I suggest that the art is not the person and we are possibly losing something to our personal benefit.

What does “sustainable seafood” actually mean and are we being misled about the fish on our plates? This week on Food Rebels, AJ Sharp meets chef patron Ben Champkin from Catch at The Old Fish Market in Dorset. After training in some of the world's top kitchens including L'Enclume, The Newt and three Michelin-starred Meadowood in California, Ben returned to the South West with a mission to champion truly sustainable British seafood. From dayboat fish and dry-ageing sea bass to why we should be eating cuttlefish instead of imported squid, Ben lifts the lid on the realities of the UK fishing industry and the huge misconceptions around “local” seafood. The pair discuss disappearing cod stocks, why lobster shouldn't be eaten in winter, the surprising rise of octopus in British waters and how supermarkets and food culture may be holding back lesser-known sustainable species. It's a fascinating deep dive into provenance, food miles, restaurant ethics and the future of British fishing.

Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news. On the programme:Last week, Annunziata Rees-Mogg took to X to post a claim about the proportion of sex offences in Dorset that are committed by asylum seekers, writing that “asylum seekers make up 0.8% of Dorset's population and 44% of alleged sex offenses. So unbelievable I had to check.” We checked too, and the number isn't right.In the last series of More or Less we suggested that nuclear power plant Hinkley C was spending so much on protecting the fish population that it would cost something like £250,000 per fish saved. We've had to take a look at that one too.Last year, we looked at a report by the Bible Society based on polling from YouGov. The Quiet Revival suggested that churchgoing was on the rise in the UK, with young men leading the trend. YouGov now have an update on that survey.How many caterpillars does a blue tit chick eat before it leaves the nest? In a recent nature documentary, Sir David Attenborough said the right number was 20,000.

Chris Amey opens up about three decades in policing - from joining the Met in the early nineties to dealing with football hooliganism, riots, major events, and the changing face of the force. From Chelsea, Millwall, West Ham and Tottenham clashes to control rooms, CCTV, public order units and moments of real danger, he reflects on what it was like policing London when the streets could turn quickly.But behind the uniform was a career shaped by pressure, politics, trauma, and frustration. Chris speaks honestly about austerity, recruitment, falling standards, police pay, vetting failures, misconduct, PTSD, and why he believes modern policing has become fractured. He also reflects on high-profile cases, the Jill Dando murder, the London riots, and the officers he believes have been failed by the system.After leaving the Met for Dorset, Chris helped tackle crime in Boscombe before later facing his own battle inside the organisation he had served for almost thirty years. It's a raw look at loyalty, leadership, public service, and what happens when the job changes beyond recognition.This is the eventful life of Chris Amey.

Sonia Purnell describes the 1939 marriage proposal between Randolph Churchill and Pamela Digby, who met for the first time at a London dinner. Pamela, a 19-year-old aristocrat from an isolated, cash-strapped Dorset estate, accepted the unromantic proposal as a strategic means of escaping her stifling rural life for the city's intellectual and political circles. Raised in a household that favored male heirs and discouraged formal female education, Pamela possessed a keen mind and an early awareness of her power over older, influential men. Her time in Munich in 1937 exposed her to Hitler and the terrifying rise of the Nazi party. Despite a failed debutante season in 1938 where she was dismissed as a "plump" oddball, Pamela's marriage provided the entree into high society she desperately craved. The union was a calculated gamble to move from the periphery to the center of global events as war loomed. (1/8)1642 COMMONS

The price of wool from British sheep is at a ten year high - on average farmers will see a 70 per cent increase on last year. However that will still only just cover the cost of shearing the sheep. The price is set by British Wool, which is owned by around 30,000 UK sheep farmers, and collects, grades, sells and promotes wool. It says the price rise is down to increased demand, and a worldwide fall in the number of sheep. Well if you've been out and about in the countryside in the last few weeks you may have seen the glorious displays of bluebells. Not all of them are native - and there's concern that the invasive Spanish variety is spreading, and could threaten our more delicate blooms. Bluebells are protected - it is illegal to pick them - and in some parts of the UK, land owners are doing more to preserve the native species. And all this week we're listening to the countryside - the sounds we hear beyond, say, a tractor, or cows mooing. So far we've heard bats, worms in the soil and babbling brooks. Today we're joining an organised dawn chorus walk - It's one of the most popular events at Bere Farm in Dorset, run by the Countryside Regeneration Trust. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Sally Challoner.

It's Wednesday, May 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian Muslim militias killed 9 Christians Over the past week, Muslim gunmen killed at least nine Christians in a spree of attacks across central Nigeria. Others were injured or abducted in the attacks. Fulani Ethnic Muslim Militias also destroyed nearly 100 acres of farmland. International Christian Concern stated, “Residents across affected areas are now reporting attacks on mining routes and farming communities, vital sources of income for many families. Local leaders are urgently calling for reinforced security deployments and thorough investigations into the escalating incidents.” Nigeria is ranked seventh on the Open Doors World Watch List of the most difficult countries in which to be a Christian. United Kingdom court rules in favor of 80-year-old pro-life activist A High Court judge in the United Kingdom ruled in favor of a pro-life activist last month. The case began in 2023 when David Skinner sent an email to public authorities in Dorset in South West England. The pro-lifer expressed his opposition to a new buffer zone law that restricted speech near abortion mills. He also included images of babies that had been killed in abortion. Authorities responded by charging Skinner under communications legislation. However, the recent ruling overturned that conviction. Eighty-year-old Skinner commented, “This prosecution should never have been brought. It has taken a heavy toll on me, but I hope this ruling will protect others who wish to speak out peacefully on matters of conscience without fear of being criminalized.” Proverbs 24:11 says, “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.” 75th anniversary of National Day of Prayer on May 7th Tomorrow, Thursday, May 7th, is the 75th anniversary of the National Day of Prayer in the United States. Christians are hosting tens of thousands of prayer events across the country. The day culminates in a prayer service broadcast from Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol at 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Many leaders are attending the event, including House Speaker Mike Johnson. Kathy Branzell, president of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, told CBN News about the theme of this year's event. Listen. BRANZELL: “Our theme this year is glorify God among the nations, seeking Him in all generations, in this 75th year and the 250th of America, even though to other nations, we might still seem like a baby. That's been a long 250 for us. But all glory to God before we get too puffed up in our patriotism and all of that we want to make sure we say, Thank You Lord, it is only by him shedding His grace on us.” The theme verse for the event is 1 Chronicles 16:24. It says, “Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.” Find a prayer event near you by typing in your zip code in the linked page. America owes more debt than it produces The Wall Street Journal reports the United States. now owes more than it produces. The national debt reached $31.265 trillion last week. Meanwhile, the country's gross domestic product, the total of the country's products and services, was $31.216 trillion over the last year. That means U.S. debt now exceeds 100% of GDP. The debt-to-GDP ratio has not been this high since the 1940s. First religious charter school in America A Christian school in Tennessee received approval for what could become the first religious charter school in the U.S. Last week, the Jackson-Madison County School Board approved a charter school application from Union University, a private Christian college. A similar attempt to create the first religious charter school failed in Oklahoma. The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court last year. Southern Baptist Convention membership dropped by 3% And finally, Lifeway Research released analysis on the Southern Baptist Convention yesterday. Their membership fell by over three percent from 2024 to 2025. Total membership stands at about 12.3 million. Weekly attendance at Southern Baptist Convention churches averages nearly 4.5 million people each week. That figure is up by over three percent compared to 2024. The number of baptisms also increased last year by five percent. Jeff Iorg, President and CEO of the SBC Executive Committee, said, “We are grateful Southern Baptists continue to show growth in key metrics like baptisms, worship attendance and Bible study participation.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, May 6th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

The bean machine emits most known smells most days as a byproduct of its relentless toil. In a few short moments the aromas belched forth could be resinous, minty, jazzy, agricultural or anything in between. Something it has never spat out, however, is the topic of smells but that's all changed now thanks to Andrew of Bremen, Dorset. Tune in for a gripping discourse on the difference between Eau de Cologne (water from the city of Cologne) and Odour Cologne (the smell of the city of Cologne which is Eau de Cologne which is water from the city of Cologne) and more!!!With thanks to our editor Laura Grimshaw.Join our PATREON for ad-free episodes and bonus/video episodes: www.patreon.com/threebeansaladMerch available here: www.threebeansaladshop.comGet in touch: threebeansaladpod@gmail.com Insta: threebeansaladpodDetails of Henry's tour here: henrypaker.comSponsor John Robins's marathon running here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/johnrobins
In April 1991, 21-year-old Jo Ramsden disappeared from the Dorset town of Bridport, a place she knew well and where her routine rarely changed. When she didn't return home, concern quickly turned into a desperate search. Witnesses reported seeing Jo with a man in a distinctive zig-zag patterned jumper — a sighting that would become central to the case. Despite strong suspicions around a known offender, no one has ever been charged with Jo's disappearance. More than three decades later, the identity of “Mr Zig Zag” — and what really happened to Jo — remains unknown, although we have strong suspicions... www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.
