Podcasts about Edgar Allan Poe

Brocarde is the creator of an enchanting world where dark, haunting aesthetics meet passion-fuelled lyrics and design. Her latest single "Identity Theft" was produced by Chris Collier (Korn, Mick Mars). Brocarde is a dynamic storyteller who marries both music and fashion in an orchestral explosion, designed to make the ears and eyes bleed. A one-woman horror story, if centuries aligned, Brocarde could almost be the secret lovechild of Edgar Allan Poe and Sylvia Plath. In what could only be described as an effervescent melting pot, Brocarde's bubbling cauldron is peppered with hints of Little House on The Prairie, and seasoned with remnants of the Addams family values: she's an all-consuming artist who's not for the faint-hearted. Brocarde arrived on the music scene in 2019 presenting her debut single Last Supper. With its biblical relatability and an army of sinister pigs, the music video depicted a twisted fairy tale that whetted the appetite of her loyal supporters. She was hailed as "One to Watch" by Planet Rock Magazine, and secured airplay on Kerrang!, Planet Rock and BBC Introducing.  www.Instagram.com/brocarde website www.Brocarde.com  About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Getty Images photographer.

El Dorado is applied to a legendary New World story in which precious stones were found in fabulous abundance along with gold coins. The legend of the Seven Cities of Gold became mixed with the stories of El Dorado, which was sometimes said to be one of the seven cities. Sir Walter Raleigh of Roanoke fame would later take up the search for the mythical kingdom. Francisco Vazquez de Coronado was a Spanish conquistador who led an expedition from Mexico through the southwestern USA in search of the fabled Cities of Cibola in the sixteenth century. He had hoped to reach the continent’s El Dorado located throughout the pueblos of the New Mexico Territory. E128.

Bienvenidos a Lecturas de Leyenda, hoy les traigo otro cuento de Edgar Allan Poe, uno al que le tengo mucho cariño, pues fue los primeros que leí del autor y con los que me adentré a su obra. Estoy hablando de la Máscara de la muerte roja, un cuento sobre una peste y un príncipe tratando de evitarla y, al mismo tiempo, tratando de evadir la realidad. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Einfach nur wild! In den Kapiteln 11 bis 13 von Die Erzählung des Arthur Gordon Pym wartet Edgar Allan Poe mal wieder mit hartem Tobak auf. Um zu überleben müssen Arthur, Augustus und Peters kulinarisch besonders kreativ werden. Außerdem bekommen wir es mit merkwürdigem Licht sowie Bad-Therapie gegen den Durst zu tun. Wir fragen uns: Hat Arthur diesen Teil seines Berichts wirklich so erlebt? Oder spricht da das Delirium? Wir wünschen euch viel Spaß mit der Folge! --- In der nächsten Folge geht es weiter mit den Kapiteln 14, 15, 16 und 17 von Die Erzählung des Arthur Gordon Pym von Edgar Allan Poe.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 386 - What Did Whitman Sound Like, 1In previous years, I have always done episodes about Walt Whitman simply by talking about his life. I did not use the format of me talking in the first person, and asking questions from Walt Whitman because I simply didn't know where to start regarding the topic of what did Walt Whitman sound like.  There is a controversial recording of what may have been Whitman's voice, but it is a very poor quality and isn't much help at all.So I decided to use perplexity AI in finding out information about Walt Whitman's voice - what he may have sounded like and how I could get the spirit of that across and a podcast. So I started with this prompt - and note that - and this is something I will say over and over again - you need to give a lot of information in your prompt to an AI bot even if it doesn't seem necessary to get a good response. This is my prompt regarding getting the qualities for Walt Whitman's voice, and I apologize for the length. - but you really need to try and be thorough.I do a podcast called celebrate Poe about the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe. It has had almost 400 episodes and downloads in more than 100 countries and territories. The format is that I interview the imaginary ghost of Edgar Allan Poe regarding his works and life. Of course I use my voice as the interviewer, and a Southern Voice as Edgar Poe. I used to be a historical re-enactor as Poe, and use a deep southern drawl - one that most authorities believe that Edgar Poe would've used, being from Richmond and not influenced by such sources as television, movies, and the Internet. And I am from Staunton Virginia, so a southern draw is not hard for me. Now fo pride month - june - and maybe longer - I am playing the part of an interviewer while interviewing the the imaginary ghost of Walt Whitman - using my natural voice and Walt Whitman responding in the first person. My question is do you have any advice on coming up with a voice to represent Walt Whitman for the podcast? Of course this is purely for audio, so I can contort my face all kinds of positions - but what qualities should I go for in coming up with a Voice for Walt WhitmanThank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Gegen-Meuterei auf der Grampus! Arthur, der alte Jeck, verkleidet sich gruselig und bläst gemeinsam mit Augustus und Peters zum Angriff auf die Wannabe-Piraten unter dem ersten Maat. In einem klärenden Dialog können die beiden Fraktionen ihren Konflikt zivilisiert beilegen. Ha ha, als ob! Es werden Brustkörbe durchschossen, Schädel aufgebrochen und Hälse zerbissen. Nachdem unser Mitleidsempfinden schon ein bisschen unter der Brutalität der Pym-Gang gelitten hat, erleidet die Gruppe Schiffbruch und begegnet zuletzt sogar einem mega gruseligen Geisterschiff! Wir bemerken, dass wir uns spätestens jetzt auf der Grenze von Abenteuer und Horror befinden.

Send us a textNo name in the poetical world is more firmly established than that of Fitz-Green Halleck. (Ghost of Poe voice)Edgar Allan Poe wrote these words about Fitz green Halik for Graham's Magazine in 1843. This episode will take a look at Halleck as inspiration for some of America's first homoerotic works. My name is George Bartley, and this is Episode Episode 383 - to clasp thy hand in mine revisited. This is the first of a series of podcast episodes for Pride months dealing with some of the individuals in Poe's literary circle - some of the I people who were responsible for some of the earliest homoerotic literature in the United States.If you have been listening to past episodes of Celebrate Poe, you probably know by now that I really like memory aids - especially when introducing a new subject or individual.  Probably the most important name to remember  is Fitz-Greene Halleck.   At first, I wasn't sure if the name was pronounced HALeck or HAYeck - but think of the computer Hal in 2001 - A Space Odyssey - Hal - who has the famous line “I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.” Think Hal - for Halleck.  And if I say HAYLeck instead of HALeck - which I probably will do - just chalk it up to me pronouncing the word wrong - it should be HALeck.Fitz-Greene HALeck was born in 1790 - almost 20 years before Poe - in Guillford, Connecticut.  Haleck and Guilford had an interesting relationship -  it is said that the town never fully accepted Fitz Greene, and even though Halleck moved back to Guilford for the last two decades of his life, it appears that he never really felt at ease in his own hometown.   Now when Fitz-Greene was two years old, two drunken soldiers were passing by his father's front door. The soldiers thdought it would be funny to discharge their rifles loaded only with powder right next to the side of the infant's head.  They thought it would be funny to watch the infant scream. As a result, little Fitz-Greene had severe hearing problems in his left ear for the rest of his life - often appearing isolate in his relationships with other people because he just wasn't able to hear what they said.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Unusual Deaths The history of unusual deaths is a fascinating, if sometimes macabre, collection of bizarre and unexpected demises that span centuries and cultures. These stories often highlight the unpredictable nature of life, the oddities of human behavior, and sometimes, the limits of scientific understanding. While many accounts are well-documented, others exist as legend or have been subject to modern re-evaluation.Deaths by Unforeseen Accidents and Objects:Aeschylus (c. 525/524 – c. 456/455 BC): The ancient Greek playwright is famously (and possibly apocryphally) said to have died when an eagle dropped a tortoise on his bald head, mistaking it for a rock to break the tortoise's shell. Ironically, he was said to have gone outside to avoid a prophecy about a falling object.Hans Staininger (16th Century): The burgomaster of Braunau am Inn, Austria, was known for his extraordinarily long beard (reportedly 4.5 feet or 1.4 meters). He died when he tripped over his own beard during a fire evacuation, breaking his neck. His beard is reportedly still preserved in a local museum.James Betts (1667): An English suitor who, while hidden in a wardrobe by his lover to avoid her father, became trapped and suffocated to death.Adolf Frederick, King of Sweden (1710–1771): This monarch is reported to have died from overeating. On February 12, 1771, after consuming a massive meal of lobster, caviar, sauerkraut, kippers, and 14 servings of his favorite dessert (semla, a sweet bun), he succumbed to digestive problems.Tycho Brahe (1546–1601): The eccentric Danish astronomer reportedly died from a burst bladder after refusing to leave a banquet to relieve himself, considering it impolite. Modern analysis of his remains in 2010 found no evidence of poison, supporting this theory.Clement Vallandigham (1871): A lawyer and politician who accidentally shot himself in court while demonstrating how a victim in a murder case might have shot himself. He was attempting to prove that the victim could have self-inflicted the fatal wound.Franz Reichelt (1912): Known as the "Flying Tailor," Reichelt was an Austrian-born French tailor who died testing his self-designed parachute from the Eiffel Tower. His invention failed, and he fell to his death.Roger Wallace (2002): A 60-year-old man who was flying his 5-foot wingspan remote-control plane when he lost sight of it in the sun. The plane struck him in the chest, killing him.Jose Luis Ochoa (2011): A man in California died after a cockerel (rooster) participating in an illegal cock-fighting match stabbed him in the leg with a knife that had been strapped to it for fighting.Brittanie Cecil (2002): A 13-year-old girl who died from injuries at an NHL game after being struck in the temple by a deflected hockey puck. She was the first and only fan fatality in the league's history.Chandler Hugh Jackson (2005): A 12-year-old boy who died after falling on his 9-iron golf club, which broke and pierced his aorta through his chest.Steve Irwin (2006): The "Crocodile Hunter" and Australian wildlife expert, died after a stingray's barb pierced his chest while he was filming in shallow water off the Great Barrier Reef.Deaths with Mysterious or Disputed Circumstances:Alexander the Great (356–323 BC): Died at the age of 32 after a two-week illness. Theories range from malaria, typhoid fever, or West Nile encephalitis, to even Guillain-Barré syndrome, which could have left him paralyzed and appearing dead before he truly was. His body reportedly showed no signs of decay for six days after his "death." and there's moreGrigori Rasputin (1869–1916):.Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849): The Somerton Man (1948):Elisa Lam (2013): The Dyatlov Pass Incident (1959):#UnusualDeaths, #StrangeDeaths, #BizarreDeaths ,#HistoricalMysteries ,#FatalFollies ,#DeathByDesign, #UnexplainedDeaths ,#MacabreHistory ,#OddDemises, #TrueCrimeStrangeCases, #WhenDeathGetsWeird, #HistoryFacts #CreepyButTrue,

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.

A chilling tale of obsession, decay, and madness, Berenice stands as one of Poe's most disturbing works.

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 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.

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

Para escapar de la epidemia de cólera, un hombre abandona la ciudad y visita a un amigo en las afueras.

El faro es posiblemente uno de los cuentos inacabados más enigmáticos de la historia de la literatura, hoy se lo hemos traído desde la Editorial Valdemar, con la maravillosa traducción de José Luis Moreno Ruiz y pueden encontrarlo en la antología de Robert Bloch, "Dulces Sueños"… Aunque Edgar Allan Poe tan solo nos dejó unos párrafos iniciáticos, continuar esta pequeña historia se ha convertido en un fetiche para muchos escritores. Se cuentan ya por cientos el número de autores y autoras que se animaron a escribir su propia versión… Aunque posiblemente la versión de Robert Bloch sea una de las más conocidas por la calidad de sus delirios y por su temprana y extendida publicación… Disfrútenlo amigoshh... ^(;,,;)^ Sigan a estos maestros primigenios!

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.

In this chapter we examine the movie often hailed as the greatest Roger Corman ever made - Masque of the Red Death (1964) - starring Vincent Price, Hazel Court, and Jane Asher, plus cinematography from future legendary director Nicolas Roeg.
