Podcasts about Edgar Allan Poe

Graham and I are back! And we are talking about some Homicide episodes that are kind of committed to weird 90s things, specifically poetic interludes with Edgar Allan Poe and "straight guys having to find out what gay people do and they're soooo uncomfortable!" Let's say its a mixed bag. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Relationen mellan hiphopens underjord och mittfåra har ju radikalt förändrats de senaste decennierna. En självständig livssyn ligger inte längre i vägen för kommersiell framgång. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I avsnittet möter du tre artister som avviker från det förväntade, och verkar på en egen våglängd. ASAP Ferg, den kanske mest excentriske från ASAP Mob, kombinerar smittsamma, udda och lite nördiga ordlekar med avantgardesmak. Billy Woods, aktuell med hyllade ”Golliwog”, skapar en förvriden bild av New York hiphop med sin Edgar Allan Poe-lika skräck och mystiska berättande, medan MIKE briljerar med vardagstolkningar till trasiga och svajiga samplingar. Timmarna inleds med partier från en aktuell träff med Talib Kweli som klev ur den mest romantiserade perioden i New Yorks underjord.

In the early 1900s, children's worst nightmares became reality when Albert Fish stalked New York as a real-life boogeyman who tortured, murdered, and cannibalized his young victims over a decade-long reign of terror.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

A chilling tale of obsession, decay, and madness, Berenice stands as one of Poe's most disturbing works. In this episode, we bring the story to life through a vivid narration that captures the eerie atmosphere and tragic descent of its narrator.Whether you're a longtime fan of Poe or just discovering his twisted brilliance, this reading is sure to haunt your imagination.

Elizabeth Barrett (1806-1861) was one of the most prolific and accomplished poets of the Victorian age, an inspiration to Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, and countless others. And yet, her life was full of cloistered misery, as her father insisted that she should never marry. And then, the clouds lifted, and a letter arrived. It was from the poet Robert Browning (1812-1889), admiring her from afar, declaring his love. How did these two poets find each other? What kind of life did they share afterwards? And what dark secrets had led to her father's restrictions…and how might that have affected his daughter's poetry? Host Jacke Wilson takes a look at the story of the Brownings.

Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!The Cigar Girl: The Unsolved Death of Mary RogersIn 1841, Mary Rogers was the most admired woman in Manhattan—a stunning young clerk in a bustling cigar shop who caught the eye of politicians, poets, and even Edgar Allan Poe. But when she vanished one summer Sunday, and her body was found floating in the Hudson near Hoboken days later, her fame turned into infamy. Was it murder? A botched abortion? Or something more sinister?Join us as we dig into one of America's first media-fueled murder mysteries—one that inspired Poe's fiction and left behind more questions than answers.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 377 - The House is a Vampire!My name is George Bartley, and for the rest of this series, I want to really look into a house that might not make it into Better Homes and Gardens - but is often classified as Edgar Allan Poe's greatest work.  The story is definitely Gothic in tone, complicated from a psychological standpoint, and a great example of how Poe dealt with vampiric characters and themes.Madeline and Roderick Usher are both vampiric-like characters that seem to take the life out of each other.  And even the house in which they live - with its eye-like windows - can be seen as a vampiric character.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Do IQ tests measure your fixed intellect, or is there more to the equation? Despite their dark history, Michael Regilio bears good news on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio!Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEdFull show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1159On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:In 1927, the US Supreme Court supported forced sterilization of "feeble-minded" people based on IQ scores. Over 7,000 were sterilized in North Carolina alone. Nazi war criminals later cited American eugenics programs as inspiration.Early IQ tests asked about Edgar Allan Poe and bowling terminology. These measured cultural knowledge, not intelligence, disadvantaging anyone without specific educational or social backgrounds. This could mean the difference between becoming an officer or cannon fodder in WWI.Researcher James Robert Flynn determined that IQ scores have risen three points per decade throughout the 20th century. But contrary to claims made in the 1994 book The Bell Curve, this "Flynn effect" isn't due to evolution or genetics, but factors like better nutrition, cleaner water, smaller families, and more cognitively demanding environments.ChatGPT scores 99.9th percentile verbally but fails simple logic puzzles humans solve instantly. This demonstrates how intelligence isn't a single number — it's more like a jazz ensemble where mathematical reasoning, emotional intelligence, creativity, and street smarts all play different instruments. Trying to capture that symphony with one test is like describing a rainbow using only numbers.IQ tests aren't worthless — they're just misunderstood. Use them as diagnostic tools, not destiny predictors. Low pattern recognition score? Practice puzzles. Weak verbal reasoning? Read more complex texts. Identify specific cognitive areas to strengthen rather than accepting a single number as your limit. Your IQ isn't your written-in-stone fate — it's your starting coordinates on an infinitely expandable map of human potential.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate. Poe. Episode 374 - PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES where the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe and myself continue our discussion of how the writer surpassed the boundaries of Gothic literatureWe begin this episode by continuing our discussion on how the theater might've affected your writings.Mr. Poe: Ah, Mr. Bartley, Now the dramatic storytelling inherent in theater from parents and youth may have also contributed to my affinity for Gothic literature. My works often featured dark, mysterious settings and explored themes such as death, decay, and the supernatural.Furthermore, the artistic environment surrounding my parents' careers could have nurtured my early interest in poetry and literature. Despite the hardships I faced after their deaths, my foundation may have laid the groundwork for my later literary achievements.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

En este episodio nos adentramos en El Barril del Amontillado, uno de los relatos más inquietantes de Edgar Allan Poe. Acompañamos a Montresor en su descenso literal y simbólico hacia las profundidades de la venganza, mientras conduce a su desprevenida víctima, Fortunato, por las catacumbas en busca de un vino inexistente. En apenas unas páginas, Poe despliega una historia de orgullo herido, engaño y justicia retorcida que sigue resonando dos siglos después. Analizamos su atmósfera opresiva, la precisión del lenguaje y el simbolismo oculto tras cada ladrillo. Un brindis macabro por la literatura del horror.

On October 3rd, 1849, Edgar Allan Poe was found wandering the streets of Baltimore, delirious, disheveled, and dressed in someone else's clothes. He was taken to a hospital, barely coherent, slipping in and out of consciousness. For the next four days, he was gripped by hallucinations, unable to explain what had happened or how he got there. He repeatedly called out the name “Reynolds,” a man no one could identify, before dying under murky circumstances. To this day, no one knows exactly how or why Poe died—and no autopsy was ever performed.In this episode, the boys dive into one of the most puzzling deaths in American literary history. Was Poe a victim of "cooping," a form of election-day voter fraud where victims were drugged, disguised, and forced to vote multiple times? Or was his death the result of alcohol withdrawal, rabies, syphilis, or even a planned murder? Some believe he may have had a secret medical condition, while others suspect foul play tied to a romantic rivalry.Theories are as numerous as they are bizarre, and the lack of medical records or police reports only deepens the mystery. Even Poe's burial was hasty and unceremonious—his grave went unmarked for years.From his eerie final days to the symbolic poetry of his death, this episode unravels the strange case of a man whose life was steeped in darkness—and whose death may be his greatest unsolved mystery.Originally recorded as Mini Ep 2 for Patreons Only. www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

Mientras reciben noticias trágicas y desesperanzadoras, intentan rearmar la rutina en medio del campo.

In this episode, I spoke with Elias Savada bout his book "Dark Carnival: The Secret World of Tod Browning, Hollywood's Master of the Macabre ". One of the most original and unsettling filmmakers of all time, Tod Browning (1880–1962) began his career buried alive in a carnival sideshow and saw his Hollywood reputation crash with the box office disaster–turned–cult classic Freaks. Penetrating the secret world of “the Edgar Allan Poe of the cinema".

Ein alter Mann in seinem alten Schloss. Er ist der letzte eines einstmals großen Geschlechts. Aus der Zeit geworfen und aus der Welt gefallen, beschäftigt er sich nurmehr mit sich selbst und seinen ungreifbaren Ängsten, die ihn mehr und mehr vereinnahmen. Dem Wahnsinn nahe lädt er einen alten Jugendfreund zu sich ein. Der kommt und erlebt Schreckliches ... So erzählt es Edgar Allan Poe in seiner Geschichte vom "Untergang des Hauses Usher". Lässt man den Namen weg, könnte es der Untergang irgendeines Hauses sein. Und manches erinnert von Ferne vielleicht sogar an ein Medienhaus. Von Walter Filz Nach einer Geschichte von Edgar Allan Poe Mit: Sylvester Groth Regie: Walter Filz SWR 2025 – Ursendung

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 367 The blood is the life!Today I would like to start out by comparing Bram Stoker's Dracula's castle to Edgar Allan Poe's decaying House of Usher.Both Castle Dracula and the House of Usher are iconic Gothic settings that share several key characteristics, emphasizing decay, isolation, and a sense of foreboding. However, they also have distinct features that set them apart.Castle Dracula is described as a vast, ruined structure with broken battlements and tall black windows. Its exterior shows signs of decay, with carvings worn by time and weather. The castle's imposing architecture and remote location on a great rock contribute to its air of impenetrability and isolation.In contrast, the House of Usher is portrayed as a mansion rather than a castle, but it shares the theme of decay. The exterior of the House of Usher is covered in "minute fungi" and a "fine tangled web-work," creating a more organic form of deterioration.Both structures evoke a sense of ancient history and faded grandeur. Castle Dracula is associated with Romanian aristocracy and contains valuable artifacts from centuries past. The House of Usher, while not explicitly tied to nobility, also carries an aura of long-standing family history.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

The Head of English at an Auckland college says he won't teach the proposed new English curriculum and is urging other teachers to boycott it too. The draft curriculum released earlier this month comes with a list of suggested texts including Arthur Miller's the Crucible, Edgar Allan Poe's the raven,1984 by George Orwell and Dubliners by James Joyce. The draft document makes no mention of Te Mataiaho a learning frame work grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Northcote College head of English David Taylor spoke to Lisa Owen.

«Junto a un muerto» es un cuento de terror del gran escritor de cuentos Guy de Maupassant, uno de los más de trescientos que escribió. Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant, escritor popular francés del siglo XIX, es considerado uno de los padres del relato corto moderno. Fue protegido de Flaubert, y se le conoce como uno de los mayores autores del naturalismo por su economía de estilo y su desenlace eficaz y sin esfuerzo, a pesar de que siempre renegó de aquella escuela. En ocasiones, la calidad de sus cuentos ha sido comparada con la de los relatos de Edgar Allan Poe. Tuvo discípulos en todas las lenguas, incluso fue plagiado numerosas veces. Admirado por Émile Zola, y seguido por Anton Chéjov y Horacio Quiroga, el terror psicológico, el terror metafísico y, en definitiva, el terror a secas están presentes en sus mejores relatos.

It was touch and go for a moment, but we've just about recovered from our first dive into The Witcher: Classic Collection. And that's a good thing because it's time to finish the book! The second three chapters are all based on classic Witcher short stories, so at least we know what we're in for…or so we thought! Why is that knight riding his horse up a giant stone dildo? Is that an Edgar Allan Poe cameo? What's up with the guy and his magic cat? And don't even get us going on the descriptively named cobbler in the final story! At least there's whisky this time around—the Icelandic Flóki Single Malt, which proves to be every bit the wild ride as the book we've paired it with.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 362 - Poetry and DreamsI was looking through articles about Poe to find information for a future article regarding why do so many people read Edgar Allan Poe. And I found some great stuff and certainly will be writing an episode or two about that subject. But I found an article that said that more Americans - almost 3/4 - are familiar with Edgar Poe - more than any other poet.  Shakespeare is second.Now  this was the episode where I wanted to start some episodes on Bram Stoker - but it turns out there is a poetry workshop that is rather time sensitive, so I better get this out now.You see, on Thursday, April 24 there will be a free workshop from the Academy of American Poets online at YouTube - no charge at all, tho I doubt they would turn down donations.  All you need to do is register, and again, it is free. I have the URL on my Buzzsprout transcript and show notes - but in case you can't  remember URLS - I can't - it is https//poets.org/gala/2025 - - again, it is free - all you need to do is register in advance.  The readers include people such as Christine Baranski, Stephen King, Tony Kusher, Fran Lebowitz, and Lawrence O'Donnell - among others.Just wanted to be sure that you got the info about what is called Poetry and the Creative Mind - again, to be held on Thursday, April 24.By the way, Meryl Streep is extremely active in Poetry and the Creative Mind, and has read works by Elizabeth Bishop, Sylvia Plath, and Walt Whitman in programs across multiple years.By the way, poets.org.gala.2025 will take you to the registration page as well.For the rest of this episode, I would like to delve into several of Edgar Poe's poems that deal with dreams.  The three poems are Dreams, A Dream, and A Dream Within a Dream, and Dreamland - and boy, are they easy to mix up.  So take them in order considering the number of words in the title - I know it sounds simplistic but stay with me because it makes things soooo much easier.  And I am not going to include the poem Dreamland until the end of this podcast  - It is (in my opinion, a poem that is in a class by yourself.)Think 1, 2, and 5 - words that is -The title of Dreams is just one word, the title of A Dream is two words, and the title of the shortest and most mature work - A Dream Within a Dream is 5 words. Dreams and A Dream were both published in 1827 and A Dream Within a Dream was published in 1849 - the year of Edgar Poe's earthly demise.Let me say that again - The title of Dreams is just one word, the title of A Dream is two words, and the title of the most mature work - A Dream Within a Dream is 5 words. Dreams and A Dream were both published in 1827 and A Dream Within a Dream was published in 1849.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

An author and unreliable narrator of implausible stories, Barker founded and operated Saucerian Books, an independent publisher of books about flying saucers and other ideas at the fringes of popular discourse. In The Saucerian, Gabriel Mckee tells the fascinating story of Barker's West Virginia–based press, the unique corpus of materials it published, and how office-copying and self-publishing techniques influenced the spread of paranormal beliefs and conspiratorial worldviews over the last century. Following the development of UFO subculture, Mckee explores the life and career of a larger-than-life hoaxer and originator of pseudoscientific ideas.Ever an entertainer, Barker established his reputation with one of the first flying saucer fanzines, The Saucerian, and with his first book, the conspiratorial and sensationalistic They Knew Too Much about Flying Saucers. By the close of the 1950s, he had established a publishing imprint that brought out some of the strangest UFO-related books of the era, with a particular emphasis on flying saucer contactees. Saucerian Books became a platform for those whose stories were too unusual, implausible, or crudely written for more mainstream publishers. Though Barker himself was a skeptic, he viewed the world of occult believers as a source of ongoing entertainment. He also may have used the perceived eccentricity of flying saucer research, or “ufology,” to obscure his homosexuality from his small-town neighbors. From his place on the fringes of midcentury American culture, Barker left an unmatched legacy in conspiratorial concepts that have become prominent pop-cultural folklore, including the Men in Black, the Mothman, and the Philadelphia Experiment. As a mastermind behind the fantastical, Barker's promotional efforts were the precursor to contemporary conspiracism.Gabriel visits with Talking Weird to chat about the amazing life of Gray Barker, and his profound impact on the development of UFO belief.This is an incredible episode, one filled with stories about early Ufology, that you do not want to miss!

Send us a textThis month we are celebrating National Poetry Month. In addition to our staff reading some of their favorite poems and our interview with Franz Douskey, the Hamden poet laureate, one of our patrons was kind enough to call in and read two of her original poems.  We also have a fun little quiz segment entitled “Taylor or Edgar” in which Kacie read me a series of short excerpts and I had to guess whether it was written by Taylor Swift or Edgar Allan Poe.  This has been a real labor of love for me and has turned out to be, I think, possibly my favorite episode that we've ever done. Of course, I was an English major so I'm a little biased, but I hope you enjoy it as well! - Mike

In this chapter we learn how Roger Corman made the very first movie adaptation of a HP Lovecraft story - The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, starring Vincent Price and Lon Chaney Jnr. - but when it hit cinemas, it had become Edgar Allen Poe's The Haunted Palace! (And yes, they even spelled Poe's middle name wrong!)

An eerie poem from Edgar Allan Poe, recited by mad Roderick Usher in the classic tale The Fall of the House of Usher.

In this bonus episode of Gangland Wire, I follow up on my interview with Mafia historian Anthony DeStefano to discuss New York City's organized crime more. One of the most significant topics Anthony and I covered was the Alto Nights social club. This was not only the title, but also the central character in the recent Mafia film written by Goodfellas scribe Nicholas Pileggi, who starred Robert De Niro in dual roles. Gary sets the record straight on two pivotal New York crime hangouts—the Ravenite Social Club and the Alto Knights Social Club—which the media frequently confuse. The Ravenite at 247 Mulberry, tied to Carlo Gambino, played a crucial role in his rise to power after Albert Anastasia's assassination. Meanwhile, the Alto Knights Social Club, at 86 Kenmarre, emerged from the old Cafe Royale, a well-known bookmaking hub, solidifying its place in Genovese family history. Only three blocks separated these clubs, but they were miles apart in Mafia history. Listeners will hear about notorious gangsters who frequented the Alto Knights, including Vito Genovese, Michael Miranda, and infamous enforcer Buster Ardito. Through historical anecdotes and law enforcement surveillance records, this episode paints a vivid picture of mob life—its power struggles, criminal enterprises, and the relentless pursuit by federal authorities.

Good to be back here in Studio Gangland Wire. A little bonus episode here. Hopefully, you just listened to or watched my interview with Anthony DeStefano, who had these books about Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, and from which Nick Pileggi researched to write his screenplay for the most recent movie that's just released, Alto Nights, It's a pretty interesting movie. We haven't seen a movie about the mob in the 50s since the 50s or the 60s, I don't think. And they talk about the Alto Knight Social Club. That's what this was all about, the Alto Knight Social Club. It was a Genovese social club. But what I've noticed is there's a lot of discussion about where was this club? And there's a whole school of thought, thanks to the New York Times or another New York newspaper, were obviously conflating the Ravenite Social Club and the Alto Knights Social Club. Two different clubs. So let's look at the Ravenite, which was at 247 Mulberry Street. And what the papers are saying, that the Alto Knights name was changed by Carlo Gambino when he inherited it from Albert Anastasia after he was killed. Barbershop Quartet, if you remember, murdered him in the Barbershare most famous mob photos ever, I think. Bosley Gambino changed it to the Raven Knights, Raven Knights, like, you know. [1:26] Knights with a sword and the raven, because he loved the Edgar Allan Poe poem so much, the one called the Raven, you know, the Raven, quote, the Raven nevermore. Now, it seems kind of weird that Gambino must have been a pretty erudite, sophisticated mob boss. If you read Edgar Allan Poe and poems, you know, I remember it because it's just so immensely popular. It got to, you know, quote the Raven nevermore. It's such a great line that, you know, you've heard of it. I don't think I ever read the whole thing. It's certainly not for fun, maybe in school.
