Andy & Martin almost meet their match in the 1975 series Quiller. But once they get past the first 10 dreadful minutes of its opening episode they find much to enjoy in this Bond-on-a-budget BBC spy series starring Michael Jayston in the title role. However, it would be lazy to say Quiller simply knocks off Bond, because Elleston Trevor's Quiller is quite different to 007. He doesn't like guns or gadgets and doesn't let women distract him from the job in hand. It's not a cheap series either. As well as some inevitable stock footage there's heaps of exotic location filming in Germany, Malta and beyond. Jayston plays Quiller with a cool and appealing detachment. He is joined by Angus Kinloch (Moray Watson) as the Controller of the mysterious Bureau, and Rosalind (Sinead Cusack) who has more agency than most women on TV in 1975. At one point she even threatens to pinch Quiller's bottom! The series boasts many familiar writers and directors of the time such as Brian Clemens, Peter Graham Scott, Anthony Read, and Viktors Ritelis. Guest stars are aplenty: Patrica Hodge, Shane Rimmer, Celia Gregory, Ed Bishop, and Lalla Ward to name just a few. Andy & Martin select 5 of the 13 episodes to review in depth and find much to enjoy in this largely forgotten series that they believe deserves to be much better known. Next Time: Rockliffe's Babies

Raymond Chandler wrote three more Philip Marlowe novels: The Little Sister in 1949, The Long Goodbye in 1953, and Playback in 1958. He became a dual citizen of the U.S. and Great Britain. His wife, Cissy died in 1954. In 1955, he attempted suicide. Heartbroken and drunk, Chandler neglected to inter her cremated remains. They sat for fifty-seven years in a storage locker at Cypress View Mausoleum. Chandler was in the midst of a new Marlowe novel, Poodle Springs, when he passed away on March 26th, 1959. Robert B. Parker finished the novel thirty years later. Chandler is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery, in San Diego, California. Later that year ABC brought Marlowe to TV for the first time in a series starring Philip Carey. It lasted five months. James Garner starred as Marlowe in a 1969 film, while Elliott Gould played Marlowe in the cult classic Long Goodbye from 1973, and a middle-aged Robert Mitchum starred in the 1975 Farewell, My Lovely and the 1978 Big Sleep. Between September of 1977 and January of 1978 BBC dramatized The Big Sleep, The High Window, The Lady in the Lake, The Little Sister, and The Long Goodbye. Ed Bishop starred as Marlowe. Ten years later, BBC did a version of Farewell, My Lovely. The shows were later heard in Los Angeles over NPR's affiliate KCRW-FM. BBC was back at it again with new adaptations of Chandler's novels starring Toby Stephens in 2011. Meanwhile HBO produced two series of Marlowe TV episodes in the mid-1980s starring Powers Boothe, and both Danny Glover and James Caan have played Marlowe in made-for-TV films in the years since. It has recently been announced that Liam Neeson will star in a new Marlowe film in 2023.

Check out our latest contribution to TroMarch, the crossover event no one wanted, besides us and Damn, That's Scary! This week, we review Redneck Zombies from 1987, which was only distributed by Troma, not made by. Of course-- OF MOTHER FLIPPIN' COURSE, on the one episode where we got an interview with someone from the actual movie this month, our pals from Damn, That's Scary! don't like it. Well, we at Slashers love Redneck Zombies, and that was even before we set up the interview with Ed Bishop. Ed was the producer, editor, cameraman, effects guy, script supervisor, casting director, and basically "D) All of the above" for this film. He and his high school friend, director, Pericles Lewns set out to make a movie, which became a year-long, weekend-only project. The whole process was very similar to that of Peter Jackson with Bad Taste. Peri actually went on to continue working with Troma, working as the special effects supervisor for Sgt. Kabukiman and Toxic Avenger III. Fun fact, he is actually the first person onscreen in Toxie III, while making a reference to Redneck Zombies. Ed has continued his film career as an editor for the UFC. He talks about ending up there after he and Peri did a documentary on mixed martial arts years ago. Peri now owns and operates InGrano Bistro Bakery in Annapolis, Maryland. We talk about their early discussions, which lead to their lives after the radioactive moonshine had long been swallowed and peed away. The entire film is something of a masterwork, especially given the budget of $10,000 (roughly $23,152.64, when adjusted for inflation to 2021). Ed discussed his efforts in editing and makeup effects.

This is a re-broadcast of Episode 17. After Star Trek went off the air, there was a 27-month period when there wasn’t much new science fiction on TV. Then in the fall of 1971, along came the British TV show UFO. It was ground breaking with a unique style. But more importantly, UFO gave some comfort to the growing Star Trek audience. The fact that it was on TV said to them, “Science fiction is relevant, here’s another form of it, and it’s of to like it." It also raised the bar for sci-fi producers. This was a smart, stylish show dealing with contemporary issues such as politics, drug abuse, adultery and divorce. UFO was not a hokey kids show. There's a Trek connection, as well. Series star Ed Bishop voiced the character Asmodeus in the Animated Series episode The Magicks of Megas Tu. Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto take a look at this unique show on this episode of 70s Trek.
Love it or hate it (you hate it, right?) you're going to love Sophia Myles' candid answers to a whole bunch of questions about *that* Thunderbirds movie from 2004! After a little discussion as to whether this should be Pod 1 or Pod 2 (it's Pod 2), Richard and Jamie get underway with some news, FAQ's answered and general chat before moving into our first interview with 2004 Thunderbirds film's Lady Penelope - Sophia Myles. Sophia talks candidly about her involvement with the film, her views and reflections, as well as how she came to be involved with Doctor Who. After the interview we head into the Randomiser with Chris Dale... but what Gerry Anderson episode will it pick for him to watch and review?!

Welcome to rememberinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making it. I’m Robin Lofton, the Chief In-house Historian and host of this great and groundbreaking show that will inspire YOU and your FAMILY with true stories, real experiences, practical lessons, cultural traditions, and fun celebrations—all inspired by African American history. I find history to BE inspirational, instructional and entertaining. And African American history fits the bill in all of these ways. Personally, I hate boring stuff. So boring stuff is not allowed at rememberinghistory.com or at this Wiki history podcast show. Speaking of the show, today’s podcast show is about Black explorers and adventurers. I think that this is a great time to learn about Black explorers. Why? Because it’s October. In the United States, October is the month that many people celebrate Columbus’s birthday. Yes, it’s a federal holiday celebrated on the second Monday in October. But it’s important to know many individual states are celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ day instead of Columbus’s birthday. And I think that we all know the reason for that. Here at rememberinghistory.com, we are celebrating Black explorers as we have for the past several years by discussing a few Black explorers and their inspirational stories. However, this year, we’re doing something a bit different. We are going to examine WHY people explore, why exploration is so important, and then we’re gonna ask for your thoughts about what exploration means to you and where you might like to explore one day. During this podcast, you will hear about people, places, events and issues. You will HEAR about them, but I completely understand if you want to actually SEE them, too. You can find pictures of them on the Wiki History Podcast Page on Facebook. You will find pictures, animated videos and a community of history lovers. There is also a place for comments, which I hope that you will leave for me because I really appreciate them and I do respond. Also, if you enjoy this show, please let others know about it. They might like it and find it inspirational too. Let’s change the way that we think of history—one friend at a time. So, why is exploring important? First let’s look at what exploring actually is. To explore means to travel to an unfamiliar area in order to learn about it. Throughout the centuries, exploring has taken different forms. Yet there was always the aspect of a “new and unfamiliar” place. In days past, many people explored new areas to find new riches and wealth like gold or other precious minerals. Others explored new areas to acquire land that they could homestead and farm. Still others were interested in the peoples of new and unfamiliar lands for reasons such as enslavement, slave trading or promoting “civilization.” Wow, these past purposes of exploration were not so noble or endearing. Exploitation was the focus. And we know the damage and destruction that was done to indigenous peoples and their land. Gee, this makes me think of the quote “I fear the evil that men do in the name of evil but God save us from the evil that men do in the name of good.” Lots of death and destruction in the wake of many early explorers. Columbus included. But did you know that there were several Black explorers who traveled with Columbus like the Nina brothers Juan (he actually helmed La Nina), Francisco who was a sailor and Pedro who was actually with Columbus when he landed in Trinidad. Another Black explorer, Juan Guarrido, accompanied Vasco de Gama in his search of the Fountain of Youth. Juan Guarrido was also part of the Cortez-led invasion of Mexico, which led to the conquest of the Aztecs in 1519. (Okay, that’s not a great legacy for an explorer but he is also credited with harvesting the first commercial wheat crop in the Americas.) Modern exploration is MUCH different from exploring in days long past. (Unless perhaps you’re thinking of exploration for oil, rubber or other precious commodities.) Modern explorers focus more on the educational and observational aspects of exploring. Today’s explorers really want to learn about a new place or to discover the existence of the new place. Take Matthew Henson for example. He is credited as being the first African American to reach the North Pole. (Some say that he was actually the first person from anywhere to reach the North Pole!) But Matthew Henson was an able and experienced sailor, navigator and craftsman. He learned the Inuit language and culture, married an Inuit woman and learned to build igloos and drive dogsleds in the Inuit way. I remember an iconic quote from Henson saying, “I think that I am the first man to sit on the top of the world!” And, of course, there was William Henry Sheppard who explored the Congo river area in Central Africa. Born a free man in Virginia in 1865, he attended a “colored” school where he learned to read and write then actually took classes with Booker T. Washington at Hampton College. After becoming a Presbyterian minister, he developed a burning desire to become a missionary in Africa. He was finally allowed to go to the Congo river basin in what is today called the Democratic Republic on Congo. He settled in a village called Luebo. He met the Bakuba people and learned their methods of survival and culture. He studied their crops, textiles and music. He studied the way that the Bakuba people worshipped their ancestors. He learned to hunt and killed snakes and large game to help feed the villagers. He even killed a hippopotamus and learned to dry the meat to trade and share with the villagers. Sheppard learned to speak the Kuba language, which helped him to discover parts of the Congo region where no American or European had ever gone. Sheppard and his local Bakuba guide would go from village to village buying eggs at different markets. For three months, he would buy and eat eggs and preach the gospel at every village where he stopped. For years, he stayed and studied the culture and, because of his excellent language skills and respectful manner, he was welcomed into the villages by the local leaders. William Henry Sheppard was definitely an explorer! As a boy, Sheppard had often said of Africa, “When I grow up, I shall go there.” And that’s exactly what he did! Barbara Hillary also went there! Not to the Congo but to the North Pole. Then to the South Pole. Many people told her that she was too old and that she would die from the cold and hardships. That the North Pole was no place for a 75-year old woman from New York who had reduced breathing capacity about a bout with lung cancer. But she went there anyway. At the age of 75, she went to the North Pole. Then at 79 years old (in her case, 79 years young), she went to the South Pole! She always said that age was just a number. To get out a challenge yourself. That was exactly what she did. Another explorer who wouldn’t let age stop her was Sophie Danenberg who at age 34 became the first African American woman to climb Mount Everest. Through the urging of a childhood friend, she started mountain climbing while living in Illinois. Danenberg's first major climb was at Mount Rainier in Washington State in 2002. Over the next two years, she scaled Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Baker in Washington state, and Mount Kenya, 2003. In 2005 she scaled five more major peaks including Denali and Mount Tasman. But 2006 proved to be her big year! Sophie received a surprise phone call to inform her that she was permitted to join the expedition that was going up Mount Everest. And she only had one week to prepare! Yes, it was a struggle. On the mountain of mountains, she developed bronchitis, frostbite and a clogged oxygen mask. Yet but she persisted and prevailed. And, on May 19, 2006, she became the first Black woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Sophie was the first Black person but definitely NOT the last. With privately raised funds and sheer focus and determination, men and women from the African continent have scaled Mount Everest. Notably, Saray Khumalo from South Africa climbed Kilimanjaro, Mera Peak, LoBuche East, Elbrus and Aconcagua—all in four short years. She has faced Everest but, unfortunately, nature stood in the way. In 2014, she was deterred by deadly avalanche that killed 16 sherpa. The following year, an earthquake prevented her from climbing Everest. But Saray Khumalo will not be forever deterred and she’s already started raising the money for her next excursion—this time to the summit!—going up Everest, encouraged by a quote from Nelson Mandela: It always seems impossible until it’s done! Saray climbs for herself but also for others: she has raised money to building libraries and schools in South Africa and to provide lunches for school children. And, by the way, another South African, SibuSiso Vilane, became the first Black man to climb Mt. Everest in 2003 and has actually climbed all seven major peaks and completed the 3 Poles Challenge (you know, North Pole, South Pole and Everest). But explorers have not stopped with Mount Everest. That’s the highest peak offered on this planet but other Black explorers went beyond the limits of planet Earth. Where did they go? They went into space! African American astronauts are a group of extreme explorers and have gone “where no man (or no ONE) has gone before!” (Sorry I just couldn’t resist that Star Trek quote!) Let’s quickly meet them: *Colonel Frederick Gregory—an accomplished pilot and test pilot BEFORE joining NASA. He spent more than 18 days in space and he was the first African American to pilot and command a space shuttle mission. *Mae Jemison was a scientist and medical doctor before joining NASA. She spent 190 hours in space as a mission specialist and conducted groundbreaking experiments in space on weightlessness and motion sickness. In 1992, she became the first African American woman to go to space. *Major General Charles Bolden was an experienced marine aviator and test pilot before joining NASA. He went on 4 flights and served as commander and pilot on the different flights. Major General Bolden spent more than 28 days in space. *Colonel Guion Bluford, Jr.—a fighter pilot and engineer before joining NASA. In 1983, Colonel Bluford became the first African American to go to space, logging in more than 28 days in space as a mission specialist. *Stephanie Wilson was an aerospace engineer before joining NASA as an astronaut. She has spent more than 42 days in space as a mission specialist and was responsible for robotics for spacewalking support. Ms. Wilson is still in active duty with NASA. *Joan Higginbottam was an electrical engineer before joining NASA. She logged in more than 12 days in space where she operated the space station remote manipulator system. *Robert Satcher was a surgeon, chemical engineer and professor at Feinburg School of Medicine before joining NASA. He was a mission specialist logging in 10 days and 2 walks in space. *Robert Curbeam was a Naval flight officer, pilot and engineer before joining NASA as an astronaut. He worked as the spacecraft communicator and spent 37 days in space, including 45 hours on 7 walks in space. And yes THAT is the record for time spent walking in space! *Lieutenant Colonel Michael P. Anderson was a physicist before joining NASA as an astronaut. He spent more than 593 hours in space as a mission specialist, payload commander and lieutenant colonel in charge of science experiments. *Captain Winston E. Scott is an engineer, pilot and (today) Dean of the Florida Institute of Technology before joining NASA. Captain Scott logged in 24 days in space, including 19 hours spent on 3 WALKS in space. *Alvin Drew was a physicist and aeronautical engineer before joining NASA. He spent more than 25 days in space as a mission specialist and CAPCOM officer. He also did 2 walks in space for 12 hours! *Leland Melvin was a materials science engineer before joining NASA. He has since logged in more than 23 days in space as a mission specialist. *Bernard Anthony Harris was a biologist, medical doctor and pilot before joining NASA. He logged in 18 days in space as mission specialist and payload officer. In 1995, he became the first African American to do extra-vehicular activities, meaning that he actually WALKED in space. Wow, we could make an entire show of the African American astronauts who have graced the NASA program AND ventured into outer space. I want to give a special salute to two astronauts who died during their explorations: *Major Robert Lawrence, Jr. was a skilled pilot and scientist. He was the First African-American astronaut; the first to be selected for astronaut training in 1967 in the Manned Orbital Laboratory program, which predated NASA. Major Lawrence was killed in a jet accident. *Ronald McNair—was an optical physicist when he was selected by NASA. McNair was killed in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster mission in 1986. Before we move on to another interesting group of explorers, I do want to mention one more astronaut: Jeannette Epps. She has not yet gone into space but her time is coming. In 2016 NASA announced that Ms. Epps will launch on her first spaceflight in May 2018. She will be a flight engineer on Expedition 56, remaining on board for Expedition 57. Ms. Epps will become the first African-American crew member on the space station! Let’s cheer her on in May of 2018. Great to watch a first flight AND a great step forward for African Americans and women everywhere! But African American explorers didn’t only just aim higher and higher. They also set their sights on what lies beneath. In this case, they aimed—and conquered—the Mammoth caves in Kentucky. We’re gonna stop here in this podcast show. We’ve covered a lot of great explorers; people who explored the North and South poles and the Congo. We just discussed people who have explored outer space and even walked in space! I think that we’ve gone high enough for now. In the next podcast show, we’re gonna explore another dark and untouched part of THIS planet. And we’re gonna continue our discussion about why we explore and why exploring is so important. I hope to see you at Part II of this great and groundbreaking discussion. Also, please remember that you can “meet” many of these people on Facebook at out Wiki History Podcast page. Or at least you can see them. Pictures really do say a thousand words and seeing these people can help to bring them to life. You will also find our newsletter that helps you to learn history and teaches ways that you can MAKE history. Remember, we’re all history makers. We all have something to contribute. These stories show that ordinary people can do extraordinary things and live extraordinary lives. So, I look forward to seeing you at Part II of the Black explorers podcast show at rememberinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making it every day. Bye for now! Welcome back to rememberinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making it. I’m Robin Lofton, the Chief In-house Historian and host of this great and groundbreaking show that will inspire YOU and your FAMILY with true stories, real experiences, practical lessons, cultural traditions, and fun celebrations—all inspired by African American history. This is part II of the podcast show on Black explorers. In the previous show, we discussed the importance of exploration and how exploration has changed over the centuries. And we discussed people who had aimed high (Mount Everest high) and even higher (outer space). Those were such interesting and inspirational stories. I hope that you’ve listened to part I of this series. I promise that you’ll be ready to stand and salute these brave men and women. But for now, I think that we should continue with the discussion of Black explorers. Remember at the end of the show, I introduced the next group of explorers. They didn’t aim to go higher and higher. They were focused on discovering a part of this planet that had been ignored and feared: the Mammoth Cave system in Kentucky. Let’s get straight to their fascinating stories and then we’ll end with a discussion of why exploring is important and why it’s important to learn the stories of these great explorers. The Mammoth caves make up the longest known cave system in the world, with more than 400 miles explored. Did that stop or scare these explorers? Not for a minute. In fact, many African Americans (some former enslaved persons) extensively explored this grand, gloomy and peculiar place. Let me just mention a few of these courageous and skilled cave navigators. Although human activity has been recorded in the Mammoth caves for more than 6,000 years, Stephen Bishop was one of the lead explorers and guides in the complex and yes dangerous subterranean cave system. In fact, he is the person who coined the “grand, gloomy and peculiar” term to describe the Mammoth Caves. Stephen Bishop came to the Mammoth caves in 1838. He was African American, 17 years old and enslaved. Yet because of his great exploration and guiding skills, he did enjoy some freedoms and privileges in the Mammoth caves—and avoided the grueling physical work and suffering endured by other enslaved people. In fact, he was first introduced to the Mammoth caves by a white explorer. This developed Bishop’s love of exploration—and he spent the next two decades exploring the Mammoth caves. Although he was introduced to the caves by other explorers, Stephen Bishop went far beyond those explored and toured areas. Bishop discovered miles of new routes that no human eye had ever seen. And he opened the gateway for modern exploration of these vast and incredible caves. Bishop also worked to draw a map from memory of the different passages in the caves. It was published in 1844 and was the defining map of the caves for over 40 years! Yes, he made history: Stephen Bishop was the first to cross the “Bottomless Pit” which was a series of deep vertical shafts. Other explorers had stopped at the Bottomless Pit, refusing to cross over that dangerous abyss. Quite understandable but Bishop was not scared or stopped. He continued past the Bottomless Pit and into areas that had been completely unexplored. And he later safely guided others over the Bottomless Pit and into new regions of the caves. Bishop also explored and guided others into areas of the Mammoth Caves called Fat Man’s Misery (I can only guess why it was given that name!), Cleveland Avenue and the Mammoth Domes. Those are some of the most famous areas of the caves, made famous and popular by Stephen Bishop. Other popular attraction discovered by Stephen Bishop He discovered strange blind fish, snakes, silent crickets, and the remains of cave bears. He absolutely loved the Mammoth caves and had a real drive for exploration. Still it was hard work and he crawled through tight winding passageways, discovered an underground river, scaled huge rocks, and dared to walk on a rickety nature-made ladder across the "Bottomless Pit." In 1856, Stephen Bishop received his freedom but unfortunately died the following year at the age of 37. Stephen Bishop might have been born into slavery, but he was never a slave. He was an explorer! And today he is a legend! Another Black explorer who came to the Mammoth caves in 1838 was Nick Bransford. However, Bransford didn’t become a full-time explorer for nearly 20 years after moving to the caves. He started full-time guiding in 1857, after the death of Stephen Bishop. Nick Bransford was an enslaved person (born during the period of slavery). Like Bishop, he was leased out and sent to the Mammoth caves to work. And interestingly there were records showing that he was valued at $800, which was substantially more than for other enslaved persons. This was most likely because of his skills as an explorer and guide. Bransford later purchased his freedom by selling eyeless fish that he captured in the underground rivers within the caves. The Mammoth Caves attracted many formerly enslaved people. Ed Bishop for example. No relation to Stephen Bishop. He came to the Mammoth caves in 1886. Among his greatest achievements was to guide the German cartographer, Max Kamper, into the Mammoth Caves. For 8 months, he and Kamper remained at the cave, visiting all the known sections. But Ed Bishop also discovered new sections that he presented to Max Kamper. One such newly discovered point (located on the Violet City Lantern route) was named Bishop’s Pit in 1908, in honor of Ed Bishop. Together Bishop and Kamper produced a map representing more than 35 miles of passages in the cave. Ed Bishop was widely recognized for his knowledge of the cave and as a teacher for the guides. Ed Hawkins discovered a monumental series of vertical shafts. The passage leading up to these incredible shafts was later named Hawkins Pass. A great honor to this great explorer. And, yes, visitors can still see these shafts. Just take the Wild Caves Tour! The last person that we’ll discuss who was important at the Mammoth Caves was Will Garvin. He was a private in the army, serving in a Colored Troop during the Civil War. Will Garvin was never an enslaved person. Following the Civil War, he began exploring and guiding in Mammoth caves where he made his mark for discovering an area later call the Corkscrew. This was actually a maze through collapsed rubble that linked the upper levels of the cave system to the lower levels near the water table. This area also provided an exit from the cave so visitors wouldn’t have to retrace their steps. Some people say that Will Garvin also discovered the Colossal Caverns. This area was so treacherous that it even wasn’t opened to the public until 1972 (some 70 years after its discovery). It is one of the caves still protected within Mammoth Cave National Park. But Will Garvin also made another important discovery—or had an important experience. This is really interesting. He was the first person to experience the optical illusion called the Statue of Martha Washington. As he was exiting the cave, he saw a spectral silhouette of a woman who looked just like Martha Washington! I know strange things can be seen in the caves but this was one of the strangest! And it is still occasionally seen on certain tours in the historic section! So, that concludes the discussion about Black explorers at the Mammoth Caves. And it concludes the presentation of Black explorers. Now I just have one question: Why do we care about these explorers? Because they faced their challenges with honor, courage, and determination. Whether it was Mount Everest, the Mammoth caves, the mighty Congo River, the North and South poles or outer space, they went there (using the words from Henry Sheppard in the Congo!) And they went boldly! Everyone has an Everest. Everest can take many forms: going to school, applying for a job, fighting injustice, writing a book, public speaking or fighting an addiction. We all have our Everests. We are ALL explorers. The personal accounts in this podcast are stories of REAL people. And we can have a story too. We just have to find our challenge and face it. Victory is inevitable. So we have much to learn from explorING and from exploRERS. Like many other people, I have done my share of exploring. And I think that the main thing that explorers discover is actually something within themselves. It is strength, courage, determination, creativity, persistence and other qualities that helped them to endure hardships, face their fears and rise to new heights. As Barbara Hillary said, when she reached the North Pole at the age of 75, there are no limits to what we can do and we can all challenge ourselves to do great things. On that high note, I think that this is a great place to conclude this podcast. I hope that you have found it fun, educational and inspirational. I definitely have! One interesting thing that I noticed about all of these great explorers is that they had so many different interests. Of course, they were completing committed to their explorations and their time, energy and focus were always in that direction. But they were multi-dimensional people in every respect. Matthew Henson—who went to the North Pole—was also a survivalist and linguist who loved the Inuit culture. William Henry Sheppard –who explored the Congo—was also an avid art collector. Mae Jemison—the first African American woman in space—loves African history and dance and speaks four languages: Swahili, Russian and Japanese in addition to English. Others are voracious readers, cartologists, scuba divers, marathon runners, musicians, public speakers, sculptors and so many different interests. So, it’s important to remember that we can have many interests—some might be consistent with your dharma (life’s purpose) but others might conflict. Yet these interests make us complete people. And, since I mentioned Mae Jemison, I read a story about her. After she had finished her medical studies and returned from the Peace Corps, she received a phone call. It was from NASA. She had submitted an application to NASA years before. On the phone call, they asked her: “Are you still interested in becoming an astronaut?” She answered simply “yeah”. That answer opened up a whole new world to her and within 2 years she went to outer space. Lesson here: Say “yes!”. All of these explorers said yes to new experiences even when others were telling them to say no. But saying yes opened them to becoming great explorers. Finally, Charles Bolden, the astronaut who was the first African American to become head of NASA, showed how there are no limits except what we can envision. He said, "You know, the universe is a big place. I'm a practicing Christian, so in my faith, I learn about omnipotent, omnipresent God, which means he's everywhere. He's all-knowing. He does everything. And I just cannot bring my little pea brain to believe that a God like that would pick one planet of one of millions of suns and say that's the only place in the vast universe that I'm going to put any kind of life. And so the problem is I haven't been far enough away." [29] I realize that I mentioned lots of names, places, events, experiences and other information that you might want more information about.

Finally, I just want to remind you that 2017, the Wiki History podcast show is dedicated to the National Museum of African American History & Culture. Located in Washington, DC, the National Museum of African American History & Culture opened in 2016. This kind of museum was long overdue but it finally happened and it is a place that everyone should visit and explore. Museums are a great way to bring history to life and to keep it alive for future generations. Wiki History is honored to be a part of this important process. For every person that listens to this podcast show, rememberinghistory.com will donate $1 to the National Museum of African American History & Culture. Come back soon to Remembering History where we ARE remembering history and we’re making it. Every day! And, like Matthew Henson, get ready to sit on top of the world! Bye for now!
In episode 53 we talk about Gerry Anderson's UFO (1970 )set in the future of 1980's where them pesky aliens are attacking earth but for what reason ( to catch Pokemon or plant them ) will we ever find out. UFO was the Andersons' first totally live-action TV series. Despite the assumption of many TV station executives, the series was not aimed at children but was intended for an older audience; many episodes featured adult themes such as adultery, divorce, and drug use. Most of the cast were newcomers to Century 21, although star Ed Bishop had previously worked with the Andersons as a voice actor on Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons.

After Star Trek went off the air, there was a 27-month period when there wasn't much new science fiction on TV. Then in the fall of 1971, along came the British TV show UFO. It was ground breaking with a unique style. But more importantly, UFO gave some comfort to the growing Star Trek audience. The fact that it was on TV said to them, “Science fiction is relevant, here's another form of it, and it's of to like it." It also raised the bar for sci-fi producers. This was a smart, stylish show dealing with contemporary issues such as politics, drug abuse, adultery and divorce. UFO was not a hokey kids show. There's a Trek connection, as well. Series star Ed Bishop voiced the character Asmodeus in the Animated Series episode The Magicks of Megas Tu. Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto take a look at this unique show on this episode of 70s Trek.
Hello and welcome to rememberinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making it. I’m Robin, the founder and host of this great and groundbreaking podcast show. I would also say that this is an historic show—yes, I know it’s about history—but it is historic because we are discussing, learning and being inspired by people who have been forgotten by history. In this series, we’re focusing on Black explorers. Remember in the first show of this series, we discussed William Sheppard who was born a poor boy in the southern United States but became one of the greatest explorers in the Congo, learned the Kuba language, gained the respect of the Bakuba people and became one of the world’s first human rights activists. He alerted the world to the horrible treatment and atrocities (remember the severed hands?) suffered by the Congolese resulting from the Belgian rubber trade. William Sheppard also became one of the first collectors of African art. In the second podcast show, we discussed Black women explorers and met Barbara Hillary who skied to both the North and South poles—oh, did I forget to mention that she did these amazing feats when she was in her 70s?! And we cannot forget Saray Khumalo who has already summited Mount Kilimanjaro (the highest peak in Africa) and Mount Elbrus in Russia. She has her sights set on Mount Everest but was stopped twice by natural disasters, both of which she was lucky to survive. But she so wisely noted that “We all have our everests.” And that’s why this podcast series is so important. We all do have our own everests to face. What is your Everest? The explorers in today’s podcast also had their everests—though it wasn’t going high in the sky, it was going deep into the earth. But, of course, I know that you that Everest is not high or low, near or far. It’s within us. Within each an every one of us. Still, today’s show is slightly different in the explorer series. Okay, I admit that each show is unique. We will still focus on Black explorers but in this podcast show, we will focus on Black explorers and guides at one place: Mammoth Caves in Kentucky. Why am I making this change? Why am I focusing only on Mammoth caves? There are good reasons for this. I promise. The Mammoth Caves are a very special place on this planet. The Mammoth caves are the longest known cave system in the world. There are more than 400 miles of vast chambers and complex passages. And it is twice as long as the second longest cave system, which is found in Mexico. New discoveries and connections add several miles to the cave system every year. The Mammoth Caves in the Mammoth Cave National Park are a World Heritage Site and an international Biosphere Reserve. You will see that much of the discoveries there are due to the work of the courageous and determined Black explorers and guides in the caves , which were described by Stephen Bishop (whom we’ll meet very soon) as a “grand, gloomy and peculiar” place. The Mammoth Caves are important for another, perhaps surprising reason. The stories of the African Americans (both enslaved and free) who came to live and work at the Mammoth Caves showed a lot about the society and times in which they lived. It showed the difficulties, the struggles and the discrimination. But it also showed the triumphs, the courage and the great skills of both the enslaved and free people at the Caves. You’ll get more details about this, and get the heartwarming stories and the frustrating stories at the Mammoth caves throughout this podcast. The caves really were a microcosm of the society and racial conditions at the time. So, I would like to get started with this third and final show this month about Black explorers, this time in the Mammoth Caves in Kentucky. Of course, though, we have a bit of housekeeping to do. I’ll make it quick so we can get straight to the show. At the end of the show, I’ll tell you about the exciting and inspirational podcast shows for next month. I’ll just remind you that you can get additional information about the explorers in this podcast series at the Remembering History Podcast page on Facebook. You’ll find a fun and friendly group of historians who love to be inspired and who love to discuss history. So, join the conversation. And feel free to discuss whatever interests you. This is an open forum for discussion and everyone is welcome. Also, you can find great books, DVDs and other educational resources about these great explorers at rememberinghistory.com website, at the Books & Stuff store. I have personally vetted all these resources so you can trust them. Or you can complain directly to me. I believe in accountability. You can’t find it in many places on the Internet, but you can find it here. I’m gonna stop here because I’m anxious to get to the real deal of this final podcast show on Black explorers. Remember that there is important information at the end of the show about next month’s wiki history podcast series. Without further ado… Let’s begin with arguably the greatest explorer of the Mammoth Caves: Stephen Bishop! Because of his great work, skill, and dedication, Stephen Bishop is without question one of the greatest explorers of the grand, gloomy and peculiar Mammoth Caves. And you’re gonna see why! Bishop came to the Mammoth caves in 1838. He was African American, 17 years old and enslaved. Slavery was still legal in Kentucky and many other states. Remember slavery wasn’t abolished until 1865, some 27 years later. Yet because of his great exploration and guiding skills, he did enjoy some freedoms and privileges in the Mammoth caves—and avoided the grueling physical work and suffering endured by other slaves. In fact, he was first introduced to the Mammoth caves by a white explorer. This developed Bishop’s love of exploration—and he spent the next two decades exploring the Mammoth caves. Although he was introduced to the caves by other explorers, Stephen Bishop went far beyond those explored and toured areas. Bishop discovered miles of new routes that no human eye had ever seen. And he opened the gateway for modern exploration of these vast and incredible caves. Yes, he made history: Stephen Bishop was the first to cross the “Bottomless Pit” which was a series of deep vertical shafts. Other explorers had stopped at the Bottomless Pit, refusing to cross over that dangerous abyss. Quite understandable but Bishop was not scared or stopped. He continued past the Bottomless Pit and into areas that had been completely unexplored. And he later safely guided others over the Bottomless Pit and into new regions of the caves. Bishop also explored and guided others into areas of the Mammoth Caves called Fat Man’s Misery (I can only guess why it was given that name!), Cleveland Avenue and the Mammoth Domes. Those are some of the most famous areas of the caves, made famous and popular by Stephen Bishop. He absolutely loved the Mammoth caves and had a real drive for exploration. Still it was hard work and he crawled through tight winding passageways, discovered an underground river, scaled huge rocks, and dared to walk on a rickety nature-made ladder across the "Bottomless Pit." In 1856, Stephen Bishop received his freedom but unfortunately died the following year at the young age of 37. He left behind his wife, Charlotte, and son, Thomas. His cause of death remains a mystery but he is buried in the Old Guides’ Cemetery at Mammoth Caves National Park. Personally, I love visiting cemeteries because there is so much history and so many personal stories found there. So, if you visit the Mammoth caves, I think that visiting the Old Guides’ Cemetery would be an interesting and moving “exploration” and a great way to honor this great explorer. And, by the way, I do want to mention that Stephen Bishop had many other talents that enhanced his abilities as an explorer and guide. He was also widely known as a great speaker, an excellent orator, a gifted singer and a natural showman. He brought his love of the caves to each visitor and brought the caves to life for everyone who dared to enter them. Stephen Bishop might have been born into slavery, but he was never a slave. He was an explorer! And today he is a legend! Another Black explorer who came to the Mammoth caves in 1838 was Nick Bransford. However, Bransford didn’t become a full-time explorer for nearly 20 years after moving to the caves. He started full-time guiding in 1857, after the death of Stephen Bishop. Nick Bransford was an enslaved person (born during the period of slavery). Like Bishop, he was leased out and sent to the Mammoth caves to work. And interestingly there were records showing that he was valued at $800, which was substantially more than for other enslaved persons. This was most likely because of his skills as an explorer and guide. Nick Bransford was a different kind of guide and explorer than Stephen Bishop. And he was also highly respected and trusted to lead people into the deep and dark caverns and the areas explored by Bishop. One visitor to the Mammoth Caves described him by saying, “He seemed thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the place in which he had spent the greater portion of his time for 17 years. He was as grave and taciturn as some cave-keeping hermit. During our inward progress, he had carefully pointed out every place and object of interest. If I paused or made a misstep, he instantly looked around.” Bransford later purchased his freedom by selling eyeless fish from the caves. Yes, there were fish in the underground rivers who didn’t have eyes. And visitors were keen to buy them. Bransford was also known as a caring and giving man. He donated the land for the Mammoth Cave School where many Black children (including his grandchildren) learned to read and write. And he was one of the first deacons of the Pleasant Union Baptist church, which was located in the park. Nick Bransford continued to work as an explorer and guide at the Mammoth caves until his death in 1895. He had devoted more than 50 years of his life to guiding and exploring. Unfortunately, his exact gravesite remains unknown today. Many of slaves or former slaves came to Mammoth caves for similar reasons and had similar experiences. Yet everyone also had a unique experience. Take Ed Bishop for example. No relation to Stephen Bishop. He came to the Mammoth caves in 1886. The slave period was over so he was free, he had not been leased to the cave owners like Nick Bransford and Stephen Bishop. But he quickly became a well-known and respected explorer as well as an integral part of the guiding force. Among his greatest achievements was to guide the German cartographer, Max Kamper, into the Mammoth Caves. For 8 months, he and Kamper remained at the cave, visiting all the known sections. But Ed Bishop also discovered new sections that he presented to Max Kamper. One such newly discovered point (located on the Violet City Lantern route) was named Bishop’s Pit in 1908, in honor of Ed Bishop. Together Bishop and Kamper produced a map representing more than 35 miles of passages in the cave. Ed Bishop was widely recognized for his knowledge of the cave and as a teacher for the guides. Someone wrote: “The real guide was Ed Bishop. He instructed Hunt how to reach the New Discovery from the Cathedral Dome route and Hunt instructed Bob Lively. But during 1916 and 1917, it was always necessary to wait for Bishop to make the trip.” Ed Bishop and his wife, Josie, later moved to Indiana where he died. Today, Ed and Josie Bishop (as well as their baby girl Chancey) are buried beneath a large cedar tree near the cave. Yes, there is a headstone (which was donated recently by cave guides). It would be wonderful to locate this headstone and see where this great guide and explorer was finally laid to rest. Another explorer and guide who came to the caves after slavery was Ed Hawkins. No, not Ed Bishop whom we just discussed but Ed Hawkins. And he has a unique and interesting story too. Although he was an explorer and guide, he didn’t take on this role exclusively like many of the others. Ed Hawkins also worked as a laborer on the privately owned Mammoth cave estates. In addition to exploring and guiding, he also did structural repairs, chopping wood and plucking chickens. But guiding and exploring were definitely his first loves and his greatest skills. Unfortunately, those skills were not valued by the owners of the caves. Yes, slavery had been abolished but African Americans were still in a difficult position and treated as lower class citizens. Jobs and other opportunities were quite limited for Black people, particularly in the southern U.S. states like Kentucky. In those states, Blacks could have jobs as porters or waiters. In contrast, whites could have higher paying and more prestigious jobs like clerks or managers. And this severely limited Ed Hawkins’s opportunities at the Mammoth caves. There was a story that Ed Hawkins had arranged and organized an exploration for himself and as a guide for a group. However, the manager at the cave forced him to cancel and abandon the exploration because he needed Hawkins stay at work and peel potatoes that day! One can only imagine how Ed Hawkins felt, how devastated that must have been for him. Despite the difficulties, Ed Hawkins discovered a monumental series of vertical shafts. The passage leading up to these incredible shafts was later named Hawkins Pass. A great honor to this great explorer. And, yes, visitors can still see these shafts. Just take the Wild Caves Tour! Ed Hawkins died in 1936. He is buried at Western State Hospital cemetery in Kentucky. Unfortunately, he was buried in an unmarked grave. But anyone who wants to show honor and respect for Ed Hawkins can visit the Mammoth caves and take the Wild Caves tour to see Hawkins Pass. I just want to mention one unique characteristic of Ed Hawkins, which is actually more personal. He was known always to secure his clothes with large blanket pins. They actually look like giant clothespins. And they make Ed Hawkins very distinguishable in pictures. You can find a picture of him on the Remembering History Podcast Page. Please go there and take a look to see this great explorer! Another Black explorer and guide at the Mammoth caves was also a multi-skilled, multi-talented person. Before coming to the Mammoth caves, Will Garvin was a private in the army, serving in a Colored Troop during the Civil War. Will Garvin was never an enslaved person. Following the war, he began exploring and guiding in Mammoth caves where he made his mark for discovering an area later call the Corkscrew. This was actually a maze through collapsed rubble that linked the upper levels of the cave system to the lower levels near the water table. This area also provided an exit from the cave so visitors wouldn’t have to retrace their steps. Some people say that Will Garvin also discovered the Colossal Caverns. This area was so treacherous that it even wasn’t opened to the public until 1972 (some 70 years after its discovery). It is one of the caves still protected within Mammoth Cave National Park. But Will Garvin also made another important discovery—or had an important experience. This is really interesting. He was the first person to experience the optical illusion called the Statue of Martha Washington. As he was exiting the cave, he saw a spectral silhouette of a woman who looked just like Martha Washington! I know strange things can be seen in the caves but this was one of the strangest! And it is still occasionally seen on certain tours in the historic section! Will Garvin died in the early 1900s, survived by his wife Hannah. The place of his burial remains unknown. Stay tuned for more information on this optical illusion. Finally, we come to Matt Bransford, who was neither an explorer nor a guide into the Mammoth caves. But he was an exceptional businessman who filled a niche that supported the work of the black explorers and guides. His work and vision puts him right up there with those history makers; he was truly a legend and an important part of the guiding and exploration work. And his story gives us more insight into the life and experiences of Blacks in the southern United States. You might remember from Ed Hawkins’ experience, segregation in jobs and housing existed after the abolition of slavery. (Of course, we know that it continued until the 1950s and 1960s.) However, among guides, segregation wasn’t practiced. But outside the caves, black visitors did face segregation. Blacks were not allowed to be on the same tours with whites or stay in the same hotels as white visitors. Matt Bransford (who was the grandson of one of the original guides and explorers, Materson Bransford, who was an enslaved person) had travelled around the country, encouraging Blacks to visit the world famous Mammoth caves. But when Black visitors did come to the caves, they were faced with the problem of segregation. What did Matt Bransford do? He started special tours for African Americans into the Mammoth caves. Matt and his wife, Zemmie provided lodging and meals at their home for Black visitors. They later started a hotel called the Bransford Resort. It was the first place and time in Mammoth cave history that the African American community could experience the same comforts and fascination of the cave that white visitors had experienced for more than a century! The Black community started visiting and enjoying Mammoth caves in large numbers. And they heard and kept alive stories of the Black explorers and guides like Stephen Bishop, Nick Bransford, Ed Hawkins and many others. These explorers became legends around the world! So, Matts Bransford was not an explorer but his vision and contribution were essential to the African American experience and discoveries at the Mammoth caves. This really shows that everyone has something to contribute. Everyone can make a difference. Whether it is by exploring the caves, providing tours in the caves or providing housing and food for people at the caves—everyone can make a difference! So, this wraps up our great and groundbreaking podcast series on Black explorers. I hope that you have enjoyed it as much as I have. And I also hope that you have also felt inspired by their courage, their determination and their never-give-up attitude. They faced their everests—sometimes with fear, sometimes without it—but they faced their inner Everest and emerged victorious. They emerged as legends. Are you ready to face your Everest? By the way, the optical illusion experienced by * (and still experienced by visitors to the cave) was actually caused by the reflection of light from an approaching tour casting its lights upon the bends of the cave avenue. As promised, I’ll give you a sneak peek into the next podcast series. Remember that we actually have two podcast series going right now. In our long-term podcast series, we focus on the Black educators. In the next podcast show, we will focus exclusively on Black educators who are men. I decided that it was time to show that women are not the only great educators, but that men have been and still are serving as teachers, mentors, coaches and role models for children of all backgrounds. They should be recognized and they will be in the next podcast show on Black educators. Stay tuned. In the second podcast show, we will honor and recognize African Americans in the military. The Black men and women who have served their country and are continuing to serve their country are often overlooked, even forgotten. But we will recognize them and I know that their stories will inspire us all. Stay tuned for that show. Both are coming soon. Lot’s of great stuff coming so I look forward to seeing you at rememberinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making it. Bye for now.
This week we continue Smith In The City plus we'll begin to learn of the Madness of King George. Our feature of course is the Long Goodbye a Philip Marlow novel writeen by raymond Chandler dramatized by Bill Morrison and starring Ed Bishop. Enjoy
