Podcasts about Edgar Allan Poe

Matt Ehret and Ghost take aim at Candace Owens' recent claims that the American Revolution was a fraud and “fake and gay,” dissecting her reliance on a book by British intelligence-linked author Nicholas Haggar. They explore the deeper battle between competing Freemasonic traditions, the manipulation of history by British elites, and the ongoing information war designed to demoralize Americans into rejecting their founding principles. From Mozart's republican lodge and Edgar Allan Poe's warnings to the occult ambitions of Albert Pike and modern Israeli leaders calling for Solomon's Temple, the hosts connect past and present efforts to restore oligarchy under the guise of order. The conversation then pivots to current events, including Netanyahu's missile strike on Qatar, the unraveling Abraham Accords, and Trump's strategic handling of Middle East dynamics. A fiery episode that blends history, geopolitics, and the fight for America's spirit.

Send us a textEpisode 217His life begins in turbulence and ends in mystery. Orphaned before he can form a memory, carried from place to place, he grows in the shadow of loss. Genius fuels his pen, yet poverty dogs his steps. He loves deeply, yet death claims those closest to him. In taverns and lecture halls, on quiet streets and in crowded parlors, he moves like a man marked by fate. Through each hardship, he writes — stories of haunted houses, guilty hearts, and dreams that curdle into nightmares. His words bring him fleeting fame, but never peace. To speak of him is to tell a story where brilliance and ruin walk side by side, and where art becomes both salvation and curse.Support the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity Episode 441 - Did Poe Have Epilepsy?As many of you know, I used to work at the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond Virginia - my favorite room in the entire museum, and one of my favorite places in the entire world, is the Virginia Poe room name for the mother of Edgar Allan Poe.  Now this building contains  an excellent collection of the writers works - original editions of everything from Hans Pfall - for obvious reasons, the museum takes stringent security measures - security concerns and actions which I don't even begin to understand - nor would I want to.  The reason that I am talking about this collection is that it was given to the museum by a Dr.  John Robertson - he not only had deep pockets, but was a neurologist - a brain doctor - and a genuine expert on the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe. He wrote a huge book about Poe's life - especially from from a neurological standpoint - and in the following episodes I would like to address some of his findings regarding America's Shakespeare - especially where Dr. John Robertson connected his medical expertise to his passion for Poe's works.  And a look at Dr. Robertson's findings are especially relevant when looking at any possible connection of Edgar Allan Poe and seizure disorders.As mentioned before, Dr. John W. Robertson's (1856-1934) was a neurologist and author who was a prominent Poe collector. His collection of Poe's works and memorabilia was substantial and is noted to have included original manuscripts and rare editions. He was a benefactor of the Poe Museum in Richmond and is also listed as having placed a plaque at a cemetery with the museum's founder, James H. Whitty. This deep interest in Poe's life and his writings went beyond simple collection; it fueled his professional endeavors.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity - Episode 439 -  An Uneasy MindLet me start with an example of my creative - if if that is what you wanna call it - approach to Gemini - I figured out what I wanted to say, my situation, and give Gemini a place to start with. I knew that Gustav Flaubert and Lord Byron lived approximately at the same time, but I was not exactly sure which came first chronologically.  So I looked them up Gemini and got Lord Byron was Born: January 22, 1788 and died April 19, 1824 - whileWell now I guess you could say that I'm speaking as me here I guess you could say that is true with me personally I may have the tendency to have a seizure but I haven't had a seizure for decades but then I can take well anticonvulsants and the medication's seem to have Gustave Flaubert was born about 30 years later on December 12, 1821 and died may 8, 1880.  So chronologically, this episode and the one afterwards will be about Lord Byron.  I then typed the following prompt into GeminiI am doing a podcast where I am planning several episodes about writers who it is believed suffered from epilepsy - such as Edgar Allan Poe, Dostoyevsky - definitely - Agatha Christie - of course there are other notable figures who are believed to have suffered from epilepsy. From what I understand there is not definite proof that dickens had epilepsy, but he did take great care en describing the symptoms and actions of people with epilepsy. First - and it may require several episodes to cover all the writers - could you describe the role of epilepsy in the life of Lord Byron?And Gemini replied - The role of epilepsy in the life of Lord Byron is a fascinating and often debated topic. While some historical accounts and figures (like Nietzsche) suggested he suffered from epilepsy, modern interpretations of the available evidence tend to be more nuanced, suggesting that if he experienced seizures, they were likely occasional convulsions rather than chronic epilepsy.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Una merenda con la cioccolata a Parigi e Francesco Petrarca? E ancora, cosa può avvicinare i versi di un mistico islamico a quelli del poeta Dylan Thomas? La risposta è: la musica. Grazie alla sua musa Euterpe, infatti, prendono qui vita tanghi e quadri surrealisti, pagine dodecafoniche insieme ad Arie rossiniane e gourmanderie. Ogni autore qui crea tra-miti fra la propria arte e il talento altrui dando vita a spartiti in cui possono figurare danze popolari spagnole e pagine di Aleksandr Skrjabin, Sirene fuggite dall'Ulysses di James Joyce e feste mascherate alla corte di Leonor Fini. Un viaggio appassionante attraverso i capolavori della letteratura, della pittura e della musica, tra testi sacri e profani ascoltati – letti – in una inedita “partitura”. Valentina Ferri è giornalista, attrice e scrittrice: autrice di testi teatrali e biografie su personaggi dell'arte e della musica, coniuga da molto tempo la ricerca sulla voce e l'efficacia della comunicazione sonora con la scrittura e l'interpretazione di testi e autori inediti.

Prepare to be disturbed…In this chilling reading of Edgar Allan Poe's The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar, we dive into one of Poe's most gruesome and scientifically provocative stories. What happens when a man is mesmerized at the moment of death? And what unspeakable horror lies in keeping the dead in a trance?Originally published in 1845, this short story pushed boundaries with its grotesque imagery and shocking finale—and still manages to haunt readers nearly two centuries later.Whether you're a fan of classic horror, gothic literature, or just looking for something truly unsettling… this tale will leave you breathless.

A elderly man returns to Rocky Point, a place where he was happy and had great exectations. But he's drawn there now by regret and a love that never died. Is it too late for some of those expectations to be met?Lee Clark Zumpe, an entertainment columnist with Tampa Bay Newspapers, earned his bachelor's in English at the University of South Florida. He began writing poetry and fiction in the early 1990s. His work has regularly appeared in a variety of literary journals and genre magazines over the last two decades. Publication credits include World War Cthulhu and The Children of Gla'aki from Dark Regions Press; Through a Mythos Darkly from PS Publishing; Children of Lovecraft Country and Shadows of an Inner Darkness from Golden Goblin Press; and Corridors and The Pickman Papers from Innsmouth Gold. Lee lives on the west coast of Florida with his wife and daughter.  Lee's inclination toward horror manifested itself early in his childhood when he began flipping through the pages of Forrest J. Ackerman's Famous Monsters of Filmland and reading Gold Key Comic classics like Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery and Grimm's Ghost Stories. In his teenage years, he discovered Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce, Richard Matheson and other masters of the genre. Lee's work often focuses on character interaction set against a pervading sense of cosmic dread and high strangeness.You can read "Return to Rocky Point" at https://www.kaidankaistories.com.Website: kaidankaistories.comPlease feel free to contact me through the website contact form.Follow us on: InstagramFacebookBlueskySubstack

Send us a textWelcome to celebrate Poe  episode 417 - Why Dickens Still Matters, Part OneThis first quote is from a George Gissing in 1898 - he famously said -I suppose that for at least five and 20 years of his life, there was not an English speaking household in the world where his name was not as familiar as that of any personal acquaintance, and where an illusion to characters of his creating could fail to be understood.And that creative person was none other than Charles Dickens. So I felt that a a brief look into Charles Dickens might be a good place to start in an examination of major 19th century writers.Therefore I gave the following prompt to Gemini:I am doing a podcast about using AI, as well as writers from the 19th century - such as Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson.

John Cusack can't help but be cool.  He just is.  Probably owes Peter Gabriel big time, but it's not just the iconic "boom box" Say Anything thing.  His roles have ranged from record store owner to Edgar Allan Poe, he's heroically saved people from natural disasters and been terrorized by a kid on a bike demanding "two dollars!".  Versatile, right?  So here we have a typically cool 1997 Cusack film which also features a Ghostbuster/Blues Brother!  It gets better: my guest for this episode is a fellow podcaster from "across the pond", Anthony Short (or just "Ant", for short!)  He has an impressive knowledge of film, music, Marillion...all the good things in life, basically.  Now you can have a listen to our spirited banter about one of his favourites: Grosse Pointe Blank.  Why not give it a shot?

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity - Episode 408  - Rent a Black Cat!Hopefully this will be a really fun episode of Celebrate Creativity.  I want to illustrate what constitutes an effective prompt in the most entertaining way, - probably your prompt will be for business, literary, and other educational purposes - but here I am using the imaginary situation of Edgar Allan Poe applying to a company that rents pets. I never really asked the AI to answer using Poe's style - which I could have and probably should have - but it went ahead and answered as Poe might have.  And note how the AI picked up on the use of Poe's language and easily participated in the online role - I would like to thank technology educator Dave Birsss for the idea of writing to apply for a job with an imaginary pet store, although I don't know if he was thinking about Edgar Allan Poe!My prompt was:Starting with episode 400 of my podcast about Edgar Allan Poe and other 19th century writers, I am broadening the emphasis of my podcast to include such areas as creativity and AI. Of course one of the things that I want to try and get across is what AI can do through an effective prompt. Would you imagine that you are Edgar Allan Poe and have come to the realization that you need a new job? You are applying to a company that rents black cats. Would you write a letter to the company of why you would be a good person for that position in their company? Note that I am explaining my situation -Unfortunately, I did explain the STYLE that I want Mr. Poe to answer the letter, but the AI seemed to automatically know to answer as Poe might have using his style by literally comparing the thousands of examples of Poe's writings that it has access to, and answers using those examples - a task that would be humanly impossible. In a real world situation, it would be preferable for you to come out and explain the style that you want Mr. Poe - or whoever you are communicating with - to use.   But note that without really prompting, the AI picks up on the style of Poe and replies to each situation cleverly and appropriately - without missing a beat. It would take me forever to even approach such a task - and I have read a lot of Poe.  But back to AI Poe's answer - Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Originally released October 10, 2022. When Edgar Allan Poe wrote his only novel in 1838, he included a grim story about a young cabin boy who was killed and eaten at sea so that other sailors could survive. 46 years later, an uncanny coincidence took place.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessagePoetry possesses a unique ability to capture moments of national crisis in ways that speak across centuries. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "The Ship of State" – the stirring final stanza of his 1849 poem "The Building of the Ship" – emerged during a time when America stood at the precipice of disaster. With slavery debates raging and North-South tensions escalating toward civil war, Longfellow crafted a maritime metaphor that would become one of America's most enduring poetic touchstones.Through vivid nautical imagery, Longfellow transforms America into a vessel navigating treacherous waters. "Humanity with all its fears, with all the hopes of future years, is hanging breathless on thy fate," he writes, capturing both the fragility and significance of the American experiment. The genius lies in how he acknowledges the storms battering the ship – political divisions, moral crises, constitutional questions – while maintaining unwavering faith in the journey. "Fear not each sudden sound and shock," he reassures, distinguishing between temporary turbulence and structural damage to democracy itself.This poem transcended its historical moment to become a recurring national refrain. Abraham Lincoln reportedly found solace in these verses during the Civil War, repeating "Sail on, O Ship of State" amid America's darkest hours. Presidents, writers, and citizens across generations have returned to Longfellow's maritime metaphor when navigating national crises. As we approach America's 250th anniversary amid renewed polarization, the poem's final rallying cry – "Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, our faith triumphant o'er our fears, are all with thee" – reminds us that the American journey requires collective investment and shared purpose. Join us as we explore how poetry speaks to the soul of a nation in crisis and why, as JFK noted, "when power corrupts, poetry cleanses." Take a moment this week to discover or rediscover the power of poetic wisdom in your own life.Key Points from the Episode:• Influential Americans including Edgar Allan Poe, William Faulkner, and JFK have all emphasized poetry's essential role in society• Longfellow wrote "The Building of the Ship" during 1849's political powder keg, with slavery debates threatening to fracture the nation• The poem's final stanza transforms a ship into a powerful metaphor for the United States navigating stormy waters• Abraham Lincoln reportedly found solace in these verses during the Civil War, according to his secretary John Hay• The poem's imagery of storms, false lights, and steadfast sailing continues to resonate in discussions of modern political polarization• Longfellow's vision reminds us that democracy requires collective effort and faith in the national project• JFK's insight that "when power corrupts, poetry cleanses" captures the enduring importance of poetic wisdomKeep fighting the good fight and read some poetry this week.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we're diving deep into the wild, weird, and wonderfully low-budget world of Roger Corman, the godfather of indie horror and cult cinema. From gothic Edgar Allan Poe adaptations to biker gangs and blood-soaked exploitation flicks, Corman did it all—and on a shoestring budget.We chat about Corman's signature filmmaking style, his unapologetically fast shooting schedules, and the way he could turn a dime into dread. We explore his most iconic horror films, his love of dramatic lighting and moody monologues, and how he shaped the future of horror by mentoring legends like Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and James Cameron.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate creativity - Episode 402 - The Future of History - My hope is that listeners get more out of their AI interactions - and I certainly will be helping you along the way.  I also plan nothing less than for "Celebrate Creativity" to become a vibrant, intergenerational hub for exploring the enduring power of human imagination, supported by the exciting possibilities of modern technology.You might  "Use an AI bot (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity), and ask it to compare and contrast the poetic styles of Edgar Allan Poe and Walt Whitman. Specifically, ask it to discuss their use of meter, imagery, and themes of nature/death. After you get the AI's response, read one poem by each author (e.g., Poe's 'Annabel Lee' and Whitman's 'O Captain! My Captain!'). Do you agree with the AI's analysis? Where does it align, and where does your own reading diverge?  Of course you can obviously do a lot more, but we get into that later.I'm just throwing out these ideas, and showing you what can be done - which is very important - not necessarily asking that you do these activities right now - but we certainly will get into that and a lot more later.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

1947 marked the end of an era on Suspense as Roma Wines (“that's R-O-M-A”) ended its sponsorship of the program. But before it parted ways with “radio's outstanding theater of thrills,” it brought another big line-up of stars to the microphone, and this week we'll hear my favorite episodes from the year. Van Heflin stars as an executive who resorts to less than ethical methods to climb the corporate ladder in “Three Blind Mice” (originally aired on CBS on January 30, 1947). Howard da Silva plays a dogged cop out to prove Jack Webb is guilty of murder in Cornell Woolrich's “You Take Ballistics” (originally aired on CBS on March 13, 1947). Kirk Douglas stars in two shows - first as a man who finds murder a more efficient method of divorce in “Community Property” (originally aired on CBS on April 10, 1947) and then as an author who discovers a lost work of Edgar Allan Poe and passes it off as his own in “The Story of Markham's Death” (originally aired on CBS on October 2, 1947). Finally, Ozzie and Harriet star as a married couple who take steps to accelerate the collection of their inheritance from an ailing uncle in “Too Little to Live On” (originally aired on CBS on December 26, 1947).

Richard Kopley, Distinguished Professor of English, Emeritus, Penn State DuBois, has written and edited books that focus on nineteenth-century American literature, with particular attention to Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne.  They are accessible and revealing works of analysis and discovery.

Seeing it in action, anybody would quaver in alarm: What hath Farnsworth overwrought? The Big Bounce by Walter S. Tevis. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today's tale comes from an author whose name may not be as instantly recognizable as some, but whose work has left a lasting impact on both science fiction and American literature.Born in San Francisco in 1928, Walter Tevis spent much of his childhood in poor health, even spending a year in a convalescent home while his family moved to Kentucky without him. He was 11 when he took a train across the country by himself to reunite with his family. That early experience of isolation would later echo through many of his stories.While best known for his six novels — including the science fiction classic The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Hustler, and The Color of Money, all of which became major motion pictures and The Queen's Gambit which was adapted in a Netflix miniseries, he also penned over a dozen short stories.From the pages of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in February 1958, turn to page 37, The Big Bounce by Walter S.

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.

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.

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.
