In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we step away from the battlefields and examine how the February Revolution of 1917 was received and interpreted in two key Western cities: London and New York.When the Tsar fell in March 1917, governments around the world struggled to make sense of what was happening. Russia under revolutionary conditions was—and remains—notoriously difficult to penetrate. Whose reports could be trusted? Which factions would prevail? And what would it mean for the ongoing war against Germany?For Britain, the stakes were existential. The government of David Lloyd George hoped desperately that a new Russian administration would fight more effectively than the Tsar's. The Labour left, by contrast, hoped the revolution might end the war altogether. Both would be disappointed.Drawing on Robert Service's superb Spies and Commissars, we explore this forgotten moment when London briefly became the world's largest hub for Russian political émigrés. Maxim Litvinov, the future Bolshevik commissar, was living in the East End with his English wife Ivy, agitating against the war and meeting with anti-war MPs like Ramsay MacDonald. Across the city, the Russian embassy at Cheshire House—still adorned with portraits of the imperial family—found itself issuing visas to revolutionaries it had spent decades monitoring.We follow the revolutionaries as they attempt to make their way home, braving U-boat-infested North Sea crossings from Aberdeen to Bergen, and examine the peculiar dilemmas this created for British authorities. Should they expedite the return of anti-war militants? Detain them? Deport them?Then we cross the Atlantic to New York, where the American press—unconstrained by British wartime censorship—reported the revolution days before London or Paris. Leon Trotsky and Nikolai Bukharin were there, denouncing US entry into the war from East Coast platforms, while Jewish refugees from the Empire celebrated the fall of the Tsar.From the Albert Hall rally of 10,000 people honouring Russia's "freedom" to Brixton prison cells holding revolutionaries deemed too dangerous, this is a story of hope, naivety, intrigue, and the complex international dimensions of a revolution that would soon take a very different turn.Topics covered:The British government's hopes and fears after the February RevolutionMaxim Litvinov and the Russian émigré community in LondonRamsay MacDonald, the Labour Party, and the anti-war movementThe Russian embassy's awkward transition under the Provisional GovernmentThe logistical challenges of returning to Russia via U-boat-infested seasNew York's reaction to the revolution and America's entry into the warTrotsky and Bukharin's anti-war agitation in the United StatesThe Albert Hall rally and British left-wing enthusiasm for the revolutionThe detention of Chicharin and Petrov in Brixton prisonIf you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us on Patreon for ad-free listening and exclusive video content.

Esperanza and Irwin have discussed horticulture on the east end before. Tree collecting, while related, is a bit different. In the early 70's Alfonso A. Ossorio, the artist and sugar magnate, began amassing thousands of rare specimens of evergreens on his 60-acre estate, the Creeks. Horticulturists and tourists have come from all over the world to visit his arboretum. Ben Heller, the real-estate investor and art collector and dealer, also collected rare and beautiful trees, and Warner Leroy filled 60 acres in Amagansett. More obsession than hobby perhaps, but a fascinating peek into a world not often discussed.
Hops from a Wellington brewery, cotton offcuts from a fashion label and forestry slash has turned Matt Welton into a bit of a Heath Robinson. His first job was collecting scrap metal in London's East End and after careers as a prison officer and cartographer, he has come full circle, this time turning the organic waste he collects into biochar for farmers and growers on his Akatarawa property.

On January 26, as residents hunkered down in their warm homes to watch snow from a massive storm pile up outside, Sag Harbor's Marit Molin and several volunteers from Hamptons Community Outreach headed out into the elements. With temperatures well below freezing, the group trudged through the South Fork's wooded areas in search of the homeless who ride out winter in rudimentary shelters. The goal of Molin and her team is to encourage these individuals to accept help and a few nights shelter at motels paid for by her nonprofit. Similarly, at Maureen's Haven, an advocacy group with community partners across the East End that provide temporary shelter for these individuals in the coldest months of the year, executive director Dan O'Shea has seen great need for services this year. This week Arts & Living Editor Annette Hinkle and news reporter Cailin Riley are joined by Molin and O'Shea, who discuss the challenges of serving this population in light of both the current weather conditions and the political environment.

The Hamptons real estate market saw its median home sales price breach $2 million for the first time in 2025, and for the first time in history, 70% of transactions were above $1 million. To make sense of the numbers, Jonathan Miller, the president and CEO of real estate appraisal and consulting firm Miller Samuel Inc., joins the editors for a discussion of what influenced sales in 2025 and his outlook for the market in 2026.
In this episode, Matthew Lloyd Roberts was joined by Sam Elbahja to discuss a vanished building with a complicated history. Robin Hood Gardens was a housing estate in Poplar, designed by Alison and Peter Smithson for the LCC, completed in 1972. It was the first opportunity that the Smithsons had to enact their long-developed ideas about modern residential planning, including 'streets in the sky', a principle for community design grounded in the sociological patterns of kinship in the East End. The building was controversial from the outset, and in 2010, Tower Hamlets Borough Council decided to demolish and redevelop the estate. In 2025, the demolition of the estate was completed, and the V&A Storehouse opened in nearby Hackney Wick, featuring a fragment of the facade of the building as part of their collection.Sam Elbahja is a Moroccan-Thai poet and artist from East London, and a recent Architecture graduate from the University of Cambridge. Sam is an Eden's Scholar and recipient of the Cambridge David Flemming Prize, she is also a four-time published poet, with work featured by the V&A, Chicago's Trope, and in her debut collection Naked Pen. Sam's greatest passion lies in community engagement and exploring the intersectionality of architecture, poetry, and art - recently co-founding an interdisciplinary collective called ISO.

Step into a century of East End history at The Macbeth — a legendary boozer that's survived near-closure and comes back swinging, thanks to Jamie Allan and Patrick Nolan. This episode marks the start of my brand-new monthly residency, soundtracking the room with chilled anthems, rare grooves, conscious hip-hop, future-soul selections, early-hours mood music and revolutionary reggae from Sly & Robbie. Historic walls. Forward-thinking sounds. Lock in and let the music take you there.
As we head into spring, Trapped History takes a brisk wintery walk through the streets of London's Docklands to seek out the Limehouse Chinatown of the 1880s.Jack the Ripper is striking fear into the heart of the East End, the Bryant & May matchgirls are on strike and the magnificent Ching Hook is knocking them dead at the Sebright Music Hall. And Pearl Fitzgerald, a young woman with a Chinese mother and an Irish father, is trying to secure her inheritance.But Pearl isn't real. She is a fiction, the main character in novelist Fiona Keating's bodice-ripping Smoke & Silk. Everything else, though, is true – and so Fiona is taking us and you on a journey through Pearl's world to re-discover London's first Chinatown. Here you will find laundries and opium, poverty and anger – but above all else a small Chinese community, hanging on by its fingernails in the onslaught of the tabloid ‘yellow peril' scare.It's bracing, it's exciting and it might help change your mind about Sherlock Holmes.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

As costs rise, taxes increase and budgets are stretched, small school districts across the region face the daunting task of providing robust programming to their students with fewer resources. Compounding the challenges on the East End are decreases in state aid, overall falling student population numbers and unaffordable housing costs that are driving families from the area. This week, the editors discuss the pros and cons of school consolidation. With more than a dozen school districts on the South Fork, it's likely only a question of time before consolidation becomes a matter of survival.
The Golden Globe winners join us for a tasty Dish dinner. We return back from a break with a full table hosting two incredible actors, Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty. Just days after their Golden Globes success (where they both won awards for their roles in Adolescence), Stephen and Erin join us to chat about Season 2 of A Thousand Blows, now streaming on Disney +. The series sees them reprise their roles as bare-knuckle boxer Sugar Goodson and notorious criminal Mary Carr in the historical drama set in the East End. But before any chat, Stephen needs to be fed. He is starving! Angela delivers with a dal gosht, a north Indian curry from Mallika Basu, where lamb falls off the bone into a sauce packed with spiced lentils. The Waitrose wine experts have paired the meal with a bottle of cave de Turckheim Gewurztraminer, but our quartet are focusing on spicy rum sours, made with non-alcoholic rum. To finish, Angela makes a last-minute decision to pull together a millefeuille, under Stephen's watchful gaze. It's a brilliant episode to launch our ‘Dish Eternal Infinity' season, with chat about the perfect pan of Scouse, the merits of prawn cocktail crisps (Erin, we're with you on that one), and there's a Dish debut for a Lazy Susan. As for Stephen's hunger? Most definitely dealt with! You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.

It was a tough one to take at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, after an unbelievable first half the Manager once again loses his bottle, makes the wrong tactical decision and we leave with nothing. A lot of positives to take from that first half but that result does leave us 6 points from safety with a MASSIVE game on Saturday which we quite simply HAVE to win. Traore certainly announced himself, Todibo receives a three match ban, Somerville on fire again, another goal for Jarrod, Lucas leaving….so much to talk about before having a chat with singer / song writer Joseph J Jones, getting news from Ex and answering questions from Patrons....To unlock the full show and a range of other benefits, you need to be a Patron of The West Ham Way.

Esperanza and Irwin delve deep into one of the most unknown of East End stories. The Lindisfarne Association (1972 -2012) was a nonprofit foundation and diverse group of intellectuals organized by cultural historian William Irwin Thompson for the "study and realization of a new planetary culture". With a cast of characters from the worlds of art, science, religion, poetry and medicine (including Dr. Jonas Salk), the collective brainpower was through the proverbial roof. And all of it on a campground at Fish Cove in North Sea, Southampton. Listening is Believing.
With the growing prevalence of cameras in public spaces and what some refer to as a "surveillance state," many citizens are concerned with the widespread use of license plate readers and related video technologies in police departments. James Kiernan is Chief of Police for the Town of Southampton police department. He joins the panel to discuss the practical and local applications of video surveillance and how he views law enforcement's moral precedent to use technology available to them for the sake of public safety. The topic was prompted by a recent article from the East End Beacon about the seemingly sudden rise in solar-powered traffic cameras across the East End.This week's panel is:Joe Shaw, Consulting Editor at The Express News GroupBill Sutton, Editor-in-chief at The Express News GroupDenise Civiletti, Editor & Publisher of RiverheadLocalBeth Young, Editor & Publisher of East End BeaconJames Kiernan, Chief of Police for Southampton TownEnjoying this show?

From inspiring local stories and major community milestones to exciting new developments, summer previews, and plenty of hot tea, it's an episode packed with everything Long Islanders love.#ShowUsYourLongIslanderThis week's spotlight is on Long Island native Timothy Fabrizio, a passionate collector and storyteller whose search for a dream car uncovered an unforgettable piece of hip-hop history.What began as an attempt to buy his father a rare 1990s Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible turned into something much bigger when Timothy discovered the car had once been driven by Tupac Shakur during the height of Death Row Records. His research traced the vehicle back to a 1996 Death Row delivery convoy, firmly linking Long Island to one of the most iconic eras in music history.By connecting automotive culture, hip-hop, and personal storytelling, Timothy transformed a luxury classic into a living piece of pop culture artifact, bridging coasts, generations, and genres.Show us YOUR Long Islander by sending a DM or emailing spillthetea@discoverlongisland.com#LongIslandLifeSuffolk County's grocery landscape continues to evolve in 2026 with new openings including Sprouts Farmers Market in Centereach, Trader Joe's in Miller Place, and additional Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace locations.

As the country grapples with a recent murder by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, the East End prepares for potential demonstrations and vigils. The panel expresses their personal views on the issues of ICE possibly causing more unrest than they solve. They also discuss the efforts of the Montaukett people to gain recognition from New York State, Jerry Halpin's unique style as the new Riverhead Town Supervisor, and horseshoe crab protection. They close the talk on a positive note about Peconic Community School's growth and the new programming's impacts on the local area.This week's panel is:Joe Shaw, Consulting Editor at The Express News GroupBill Sutton, Editor-in-chief at The Express News GroupDenise Civiletti, Editor & Publisher of RiverheadLocalBeth Young, Editor & Publisher of East End BeaconEnjoying this show?

Two of The Express News Group's most enduring newsroom fixtures decided that 2025 would be the year they finally stepped away from journalism. At the end of December, photo editor Dana Shaw and reporter Stephen J. Kotz officially filed their last stories. For more than three decades, Shaw was a constant presence at the region's most important moments — from protests and public meetings to wildfires and parades. And for over 30 years on the East End, Kotz — who also had stints as a news editor — chronicled the villages, towns, people and personalities of the South Fork with relentless curiosity and determination. This week, the editors sit down with Shaw and Kotz for a candid “exit interview,” filled with unforgettable anecdotes, hard-earned wisdom, and reflections on a lifetime spent chasing the story.

In 1989 after notable releases of Watchmen, The Killing Joke, and wrapping up V for Vendetta , one of the great comic book writers of all time Alan Moore sets to tell another gripping tale based on the Whitechapel murderers during the 1800s around the question: Who is Jack the Ripper? With illustrations of talented Eddie Campbell, this Eisner Winning graphic novel explores circumstances around the time period of when these tragedies occurred, who, or whom could have been involved in the crimes, and an idea of what the world was like in East End of London. Every angle, motive and perspective is explored by a core cast of characters. Alan Moore himself thoroughly researched the historical manuscripts with notes of the Victorian Era, which are included in the collected editions. It is a stunning tale that is recommended for fans of true crime, horror, historical fiction, and fans of this creative team to truly appreciate all that From Hell has to offer. The graphic novel can be read in the hardcover Master Edition with full colors or the black/white tradition paperback copies as well.
This week on the Long Island Tea Podcast, Sharon and Stacy pack up the mics and head to the Northport Hotel, where the twinkling lights, charming Main Street views, and cozy North Shore vibes feel like stepping straight into a Hallmark holiday movie.

What happens when kids put down their phones and step into the wild? Jen Skilbred knows firsthand. She's the assistant director for environmental education at Group for the East End, where her job often means leading students off the pavement and into forests, fields and shorelines to discover the region's plants and wildlife. Last year alone, Group for the East End reached more than 2,270 students across the East End. So earlier this year when Governor Kathy Hochul announced a statewide ban on student cellphone use during the school day, Skilbred saw an opportunity to extend that phone-free time beyond the classroom by getting kids outside and reconnecting them with nature. This week, the editors are joined by Skilbred to talk about what happens when young people discover the magic of the natural world. “Let's make real life more interesting than screens,” Skilbred says. “We live on the East End, and there are so many beautiful outdoor spaces.” CHRISTOPHER SCOTT PHOTO
The Talkhouse. Peter. Institutions. Very few establishments on the East End have had the staying power of Stephen Talkhouse. But the iconic bar and nightclub in Amagansett remains more vital than ever, even if Peter slips out by 10pm nowadays. The Talkhouse has become famous on a level that no one, especially not Peter, would have imagined 39 years ago when he bought the divey little bar with only a jukebox for music. More than 80 members of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame have played the Talkhouse. Global megastars like Coldplay, Dave Matthews, Jelly Roll, Brandi Carlisle, and most recently, Metallica, have performed onstage. Despite the worldwide notoriety, The Talkhouse remains a deeply local, deeply soulful establishment. Local and regional acts have played there as unknowns, only to become huge-- and continue to play there. Some performers have been returning year after year for over thirty years. Employees, too, have stood the test of time. Over a dozen employees have been there for more than twenty years. No one is quite sure how long Larry has been working there, but it's longer than anyone, himself included, can recall. And then there's the generosity. Soldier Ride was conceived here, and has become a nationwide foundation to raise money and awareness for wounded American combat veterans. And again, locally, any time anyone in need comes to Peter to help raise money or other support for a cause, whether a local family or a worthwhile organization, Peter is eager to help. So please listen in to this very special episode.

There's no hyperbole in this statement: my guest, native New Yorker and founder and managing principal at East End Capital, Jonathon Yormak, influences independent filmmaking more than any other guest I've had on the podcast. East End will have over 2.5 million square feet of studio space under management at the opening of his fifth studio in Los Angeles.So not only does that space support a number of studio-level productions, the talent that works there is your next audio engineer, gaffer, cinematographer, or director...if New York and California remain friendly to U.S.-based production.A big if...and a big topic in this extraordinarily special -- and important -- episode of the podcast.In this episode, Jonathon and I talk about:what drew him to developing five different studios across Los Angeles and New York;the recent history of real estate/TV + film production, including the opportunities available in New York City;the role of COVID in building out the new studios;the expectations vs. reality of building in the entertainment world;the economics of building studio space after the strikes;competing for business, in the United States and abroad;the kinds of business his studios attract and why a production might choose one stage over another;the future of AR/VR and AI in studio space;how he stays current on news in this space;what he advises the New York City mayor and California regarding the film business;how he'd love Quentin Tarantino or Steven Spielberg to use one of his facilities.Memorable Quotes:"if you really look back the intersection...between real estate and film and TV production, it really began with Netflix and their explosion into digital content distribution and then spending an enormous amount of money directly on content creation.""And so by 2018, 2019, you also had Apple and Amazon that had both started to get into the game. And in a couple of instances, Amazon in particular had leased some space for ten year terms. And so what you started to see was that occupancy was well north of 90% in almost every sound stage in the United States. And on top of that, there really had been no new development, with the exception of Atlanta, of new best in class film and television sound stages in the US for 25 years.""To build anything in California takes forever." "What happened is, the strikes hit and at the same time, Wall Street was putting pressure on all of the streamers to figure out how they were making money.""So they started to go to places...that had very favorable tax incentive regimes. So those would be...the UK, Ireland, Canada in particular.""Our view of [AR/VR/AI], it actually is supportive of higher stage occupancy.""So if you wanted to film in Times Square, you had to actually go to Times Square. You wanted to film in front of the Eiffel Tower, you had to go in front of the Eiffel Tower. In facilities like ours, where you can get the height and the distance away from them, you can film that in a sound stage.""From AI...being able to make a movie. I still think that, the human element...it's not from everything I'm seeing, it's just not able to capture that well."Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content
Dr. Rachel Lichtenstein, one of the foremost chroniclers of Jewish East London, visited with The Shmooze to talk about A. N. Stencl, a native Yiddish speaker from Poland, who settled in London's East End in 1936 and became an activist and campaigner for the continuation of Yiddish. His extraordinary life spanned the height and demise of contemporary Yiddish culture. Stencl's literary journal, Loshn un lebn (Language and Life), featured his own memoirs, poems, and essays alongside an array of work by other Yiddish writers from around the globe that explored political and literary topics of the time. Rachel's work on Stencl includes a forthcoming book, The Prince of Whitechapel, a website hosting the complete collection Loshn un lebn, and a digital archive on Stencl in collaboration with the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research and the Centre for Jewish History in New York, funded by Arcadia.

The 1999 London nail bombings were a series of bomb explosions in London, England. Over three successive weekends between 17 and 30 April 1999, homemade nail bombs were detonated in Brixton in south London; at Brick Lane, Spitalfields, in the East End; and at the Admiral Duncan pub in Soho in the West End. Each bomb contained up to 1,500 100 mm nails in duffel bags that were left in public spaces. The bombs killed three people and injured 140 people, four of whom lost limbs. On 2 May 1999, the Metropolitan Police Anti-Terrorist Branch charged 22-year-old David Copeland with murder. Copeland, who became known as the "London nail bomber", was a neo-Nazi militant and a former member of two political groups, the British National Party and then the National Socialist Movement. The bombings were aimed at London's Black, Bengali, and LGBT communities.[1] Copeland was convicted of murder in 2000 and given six life sentences.[1]Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
