Podcasts about Edgar Allan Poe

Photographs of Edgar Allan Poe are incredibly rare. The famed writer sat for portraits only a few times, resulting in eight unique images, known as daguerreotypes. When one appeared on the TV show in Omaha, NE it seemed too good to be true.  Then the FBI called.  It's a tale never shared before on TV. And but for this podcast may be shared nevermore.

Double Edgar Allan Poe! The Universal Classics deep dive continues with two very loose Poe adaptations: The Black Cat (1934) and The Raven (1935) both starring Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. From wiki: “The Black Cat is a 1934 American pre-Code horror film directed by Edgar G. Ulmer and starring Boris Karloff and Béla Lugosi. It was Universal Pictures' biggest box office hit of the year, and was the first of eight films (six of which were produced by Universal) to feature both Karloff and Lugosi. In 1941, Lugosi appeared in a comedy horror mystery film with the same title, which was also named after and ostensibly "suggested by" Edgar Allan Poe's 1843 short story.”The Raven is a 1935 American horror film directed by Louis Friedlander (who started to be credited as Lew Landers the following year) and starring Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Billed as having been "suggested by" Edgar Allan Poe's 1845 poem of the same title, excerpts of which are quoted at a few points in the film, it was adapted from an original screenplay by David Boehm. Lugosi stars as a neurosurgeon obsessed with Poe who has a torture chamber in his basement, and Karloff plays an escaped murderer on the run from the police who Lugosi manipulates into doing his dirty work.Also discussed: ™, gay Halloween, Bubble Bath (1980), Frankenstein (2025), deaf crocodile, Soviet fantasy films, Knives Out,  NEXT WEEK: Frankenstein (1931) and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

In this Unsolved Crimes episode of Terror Talk – Killer Minds and Creepy Stuff, Shannon and Cathy dig into three of America's most haunting unsolved mysteries.From Hollywood's glittering shores to 19th-century New York and the shadowed aisles of 1980s Chicago, these cases reveal how beauty, mystery, and tragedy intertwine.We begin with the death of Natalie Wood, whose drowning off the coast of Los Angeles still raises questions decades later. Was it an accident, or something darker beneath the Hollywood glamour?Next, we travel back in time to the murder of Mary Rogers, the beautiful cigar girl whose unsolved death inspired Edgar Allan Poe's chilling story The Mystery of Marie Roget.Finally, we discuss The Chicago Tylenol Murders, a case that sparked national panic and changed the way America viewed consumer safety forever.This episode blends psychological insight with historical intrigue, exploring the archetypes of the “femme fatale,” the cultural fear of random violence, and the enduring fascination with unsolved crime.The psychological and cultural archetype of the “beautiful victim”How Natalie Wood's case blurred lines between tragedy and scandalEdgar Allan Poe's real-life inspiration for The Mystery of Marie RogetThe panic and policy changes caused by the Tylenol murdersWhy these cases continue to captivate decades laterDon't miss weekly episodes diving into true crime, psychology, and horror culture.

Harold SchechterOnly the sex-and-drug-fueled, drop-out culture of hippie-era southern California, with its occult dabblings and nothing-is-forbidden philosophy, could have produced the Manson murders. The barren landscape of Nebraska was not just the historical setting for the 1950s killing spree of the young outlaw-lovers Charlie Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate, but the outward projection of their harsh, empty lives. America's dean of true crime Harold Schecter has penned a definitive study of crime that reflects the typical (or stereotypical) traits associated with the state where it took place. Rather than rehash the details of such overly familiar horrors, in 50 STATES OF MURDER: An Atlas of American Crime (September 16, 2025; $19.99 paperback) Schecter reveals lesser known, darkly fascinating cases that, taken together, form a unique criminal history of the United States.Filled with hundreds of darkly fascinating tales of murderous mayhem, 50 STATES OF MURDER is a chilling work of storytelling and an authoritative survey of the United States' homicidal history. Schechter explores each state's most grizzly, gruesome, and notorious murders that have passed into regional lore, including:The 1840 murder of New Jersey banker Abraham Suydam that inspired Edgar Allan Poe's horror classic “The Tell-Tale Heart.”The 1912 “Villisca Axe Murders” that claimed the lives of eight victims, including all six members of a single family, in a small town in Iowa. The “Inwood Park Horror” of 1937, when the mutilated corpse of a twenty-eight-year-old woman was found in a Cincinnati dance hall.Robert Hansen's ten-year reign of terror in Alaska from 1973-1983, where he hunted and slayed at least seventeen women, ranging in age from sixteen to forty-one.The brutal 1953 abduction-murder of six-year-old Bobby Greenlease Jr., son of a multimillionaire car dealer, in Kansas City, Missouri.Andrew Cunanan's 1997 killing, not of Gianni Versace in Miami, but of two intimate friends in Minnesota three months before his assassination of the fashion icon.Presented in a photo-filled, atlas-like format, 50 STATES OF MURDER is a bloodcurdling journey into the dark heart of American murder that will please any true crime obsessive.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Edgar Allan Poe: Annabel Lee Fue hace muchos y muchos años,en un reino junto al mar,que vivía una doncella a la que quizá conozcaspor el nombre de Annabel Lee;y esta doncella vivía sin otro pensamientoque amar y ser amada por mí. Yo era un niño y ella era una niña,en este reino junto al mar;amándonos con un amor que era más que amor—yo y mi Annabel Lee—con un amor que los alados serafines del cielonos codiciaron a ella y a mí. Y esta fue la razón por la que, hace mucho tiempo,en este reino junto al mar,un viento sopló desde una nube, enfriandoa mi hermosa Annabel Lee;así que sus nobles parientes vinierony se la llevaron lejos de mí,para encerrarla en un sepulcroen este reino junto al mar. Los ángeles, no tan felices en el cielo,los envidiaban a ella y a mí—¡Sí! — Esa fue la razón (como todos los hombres saben,en este reino junto al mar)de que el viento saliera de la nube por la noche,enfriando y matando a mi Annabel Lee. Pero nuestro amor era mucho más fuerte que el amor…de aquellos que eran más viejos que nosotros—De muchos mucho más sabios que nosotros—y ni los ángeles en el cieloni los demonios bajo el mar,podrán jamás separar mi alma del almade la bella Annabel Lee; Porque la luna nunca brilla sin traerme sueñosde la bella Annabel Lee;Y las estrellas nunca salen, pero siento los ojos brillantesde la bella Annabel Lee;Y así, toda la noche, me acuesto al ladode mi querida —mi querida— mi vida y mi novia,en el sepulcro junto al mar—en su tumba junto al sonoro mar. La música que se escucha al principio es The Edge de Swoop.

A finales de los años veinte, las sombras del expresionismo alemán se habían extendido. Numerosos cineastas con vocación artística se acercaron al terror para explorar las posibilidades plásticas en la representación de la locura y lo macabro que abrió «El gabinete del Doctor Caligari» (1920). Entre ellos, de los grandes maestros del cine silente que quisieron acercarse al género. Jean Epstein, próximo a las vanguardias artísticas, había entregado ya varias obras redondas bajo el influjo del "impresionismo" cinematográfico cuando decidió adaptar «La caída de la casa Usher» de Edgar Allan Poe, un escritor al que admiraba y que consideraba precursor del relato cinematográfico. Epstein puso en escena una mansión Usher imbuida de la decadencia mórbida de Poe, rodeada de fango y árboles secos y azotada por un viento perpetuo. Incluso, consiguió una película llena de sonoridad pese a ser muda. Carl Theodor Dreyer acometió el rodaje de una película de terror tras el enorme despliegue que supuso «La pasión de Juana de Arco» (1928). Inspirándose muy libremente en varios relatos de Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, concibió «Vampyr» (1932). Una película en estado liminal como pocas lo han estado en la historia del cine, atrapada sin salida entre la realidad y la imaginación fantasiosa de su protagonista, entre el día y la noche, entre el cine sonoro y el mudo. Las dos fueron, además, proyectos independientes que sus directores levantaron fuera del sistema de estudios. Y ambas dan testimonio de los grandes logors expresivos del cine mudo antes de que fueran barridos por el sonoro y el cine se convirtiera en otra cosa. Este episodio es la segunda entrega de los programas especiales sobre terror con los que, a lo largo del mes de octubre, recorremos la antesala a Halloween. Tras los micros, Miguel Muñoz Garnica, Julio Bernad y José Luis Forte.

Dubbelgångare är vanliga i litteraturen sedan 1800-talet. Men de verkar livskraftiga och har fått nytt liv i den moderna tv-serien. Gabriella Håkansson har en teori om varför. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän publicerades ursprungligen den 12 september 2018.En av Fjodor Dostojevskijs mest lästa böcker är ”Dubbelgångaren”. Det är hans andra bok som kom bara några veckor efter succédebuten ”Arma människor” 1846. Kritikerna gillade den inte. Den var alldeles för absurd för tidens realistiska ideal. Ärligt talat är den heller inte en av hans bästa böcker, men idén med en dubbelgångare som en dag dyker upp och totalförstör huvudpersonens liv är intressant. Den ställer en intrikat fråga som löper genom hela den moderna litteraturen, och vidare in i dagens tv-serier och populärkultur.Inom den gotiska skräcktraditionen har man tolkat det som en viktoriansk ängslan för gränsöverskridanden, inte minst sexuella sådana.”Dubbelgångaren” börjar med att den strävsamme, lite märklige kanslisten Goljadkin får ett ryck. Han är övertygad om att alla hans problem kommer att försvinna om han får gifta sig med chefens dotter Klara. Maniskt shoppar han kläder och tar en droska till chefens galamiddag – övertygad om att han kommer att göra succé. Men Goljadkin är varken inbjuden eller önskad. Och det som skulle bli den första kvällen i ett helt nytt liv, slutar med brakskandal – och han slängs ut från festen.Det är på hemvägen, när han fylld av skam och självhat går längs kanalen som dubbelgångaren dyker upp, som en personifikation av de sidor hos sig själv han inte står ut med. Goljadkin bjuder hem honom, super till och ett besynnerligt tycke, nästan som kärlek, uppstår i ruset mellan de två männen. Men det dröjer inte länge förrän dubbelgångaren har tagit över Goljadkins arbete, lägenhet, umgänge och sociala status – medan kanslisten själv degraderats till en sjavig loser. Det slutar med att han måste läggas in på psyket.Även om dubbelgångartemat gjorde entré i litteraturen redan något decennium tidigare med böcker som Hoffmans ”Djävulsdrogen”, och Mary Shelleys ”Frankenstein”, så var det helt nytt för publiken att få följa en sinnesförvirrad person inifrån. Dostojevskij inspirerades av den mallade gotiska romanen, men hans mer egensinniga komposition slog an något som gjorde att snart sagt varje författare med anseende ville skriva en egen dubbelgångarberättelse. Poe, Stevenson, Dickens, Wilde, Conrad, du Maurier och Nabokov – alla har de gett sin version av temat. Så vad är det hos dubbelgångaren som attraherar egentligen? Inom den gotiska skräcktraditionen har man tolkat det som en viktoriansk ängslan för gränsöverskridanden, inte minst sexuella sådana. Den mörka andre är ett monster som uppstår när människan syndat mot Gud, moralen eller naturen, som doktor Frankenstein när han skapar liv ur död materia.I den traditionella skönlitteraturen har tolkningen istället kommit att präglas av Sigmund Freud. I sin essä ”Det kusliga” använder han Hoffmans dubbelgångare i novellen ”Sandmannen” som exempel på just det kusliga – något som är välbekant men ändå främmande. I dubbelgångaren känner du igen dig själv, men får samtidigt möjlighet att se dig själv utifrån, med andras blick, precis som Goljadkin. Och Freud satte tonen. Under dubbelgångarlitteraturens glansperiod blev de psykologiska läsningarna helt dominerande. Den andre skulle förstås som en rädsla för att det psykiskt förträngda kunde blottas, men kanske gav den läsningen inte hela bilden?I familjevåningen och salongen fanns inte plats för några låga begär [...] samtidigt som staden och gatan med sina lockande synder låg öppen.För om vi går tillbaka till Dostojevskij och skalar bort allt utanpåverk så handlar ju romanen om en man som vanäras socialt och går under. Om och om igen upprepas, i Bengt Samuelsons fina översättning, fraserna ”dra i smutsen” och ”få sitt rykte svärtat” om den stackars Goljadkin. Samma sak sker i Edgar Allas Poes ”William Wilson” där huvudpersonen avslöjas som en tarvlig falskspelare av sin dubbelgångare – och i Vladimir Nabokovs ”Förtvivlan” så är det den skötsamme affärsmannen Felix som får idén att mörda sin dubbelgångare för att få ut livförsäkringen, och naturligtvis misslyckas.Det karakteristiska verkar vara att dubbelgångaren synliggör huvudpersonens dåliga sidor, antingen genom att själv vara tygellös och amoralisk, eller genom att trigga och avslöja originalets bristande moral. Och frågan är om det inte är moralproblematiken som är genrens fundament? Konflikten som gestaltas utspelar sig kanske inte, som Freud menar, inom individen, utan mellan individen och samhället, eller mer specifikt, mellan mannen och samhället, för den stora majoriteten författare som skrivit om dubbelgångare är ju, liksom dubbelgångarna själva, män.Så vad är det för djupt liggande oro manlig dubbelgångaren ger uttryck för? Kanske har det något att göra med de sociala regelsystem som växte fram under moderniteten, och som kom att kontrollera och forma just mansrollen på ett nytt sätt. Huvudpersonerna är ju kanslister, läkare och jurister, män ur det hårt arbetande borgerskapet som byggde sin klassidentitet på ordningssamhet, pliktkänsla och moralisk rättskaffenhet. I familjevåningen och salongen fanns inte plats för några låga begär eller utsvävningar, allra minst vad gällde det sexuella, samtidigt som staden och gatan med sina lockande synder låg öppen. Men bara för mannen, vilket nog förklarar varför dubbelgångarlitteraturen är en så specifikt manlig genre.I 1800-talets dagböcker och brev ser man ofta män som ger uttryck för sin skam över att ha supit ner sig, spelat bort pengar eller köpt sex, men mycket lite av detta ventileras i romanen på grund av den hårda censuren. Dubbelgångaren blir då en litterär gestaltning av en rädsla som inte kan vädras offentligt, och som bottnar i en skräck för deklassering och social utstötning.För det ju är mot det postindustriella samhällets normer och moral som den manliga dubbelgångaren brottas idag,Men var hittar vi då dubbelgångaren idag, när censuren avskaffats och vi kan prata om allt? Ett bra exempel är tv-serien ”True detective” från 2014, som skapats av litteraturhistorikern Nic Pizzalotti. Kriminalarna Rust Cohle och Marty Hart gestaltar två sidor av manligheten; den fria amoraliska outsidern som varken tror på gud, naturen eller samhället, men ändå är den som agerar rätt och är sann, och den tyglade, moraliska familjefadern som bygger samhället, men ändå hycklar och begår onda handlingar. Serien har kritiserats för att vara en bromance, och enbart fokusera på mäns relationer, men jag tycker den kan ses som vidareutveckling av det gamla dubbelgångartemat, som gestaltar konflikten mellan det otyglade driftslivet, och kravet på att kontrollera begären och inlemma sig i den sociala ordningen. Frågan som gestaltas är precis samma som hos Dostojevskij och Poe: Hur ska mannen möta de moralkrav som ställs på honom, hur ser den goda maskuliniteten ut?Som en extra krydda kan man säga att serien har en tredje huvudperson, den inavlade seriemördaren – ett driftsstyrt mansmonster som utgör den goda maskulinitetetens motsats, och är ett talande exempel på hur det går om man hamnar utanför samhället. Även en fjärde huvudperson anas. Precis som Sankt Petersburg i början av industrialismens och byråkratins era i Ryssland spelade en avgörande roll för Dostojevskij, så spelar den amerikanska södern med sitt industriella förfall, och sitt dubbla rop på gudsfruktan och frihet, en av huvudrollerna i gotiska ”True Detective”.För det ju är mot det postindustriella samhällets normer och moral som den manliga dubbelgångaren brottas idag, och även om ”True Detective” gestaltar ett specifikt amerikansk dilemma med sin rashistoria och sin klasskamp, så finns grundkonflikten i alla samhällen. De gemensamma lagarna och det sociala trycket ställs mot den enskilda personens frihetslängtan och begär. Den konflikten kommer aldrig lösas, och dubbelgångaren, ja han kommer komma tillbaka – om och om igen.Gabriella Håkansson, författare Litteratur om och med dubbelgångareFjodor Dostojevskij ”Dubbelgångaren”, översatt av Bengt Samuelson, Bakhåll, 2004Vladimir Nabokov ”Förtvivlan”, översatt av Aris Fioretos, Modernista, 2017Edgar Allan Poe ”William Wilson”, översatt av Erik Carlquist, i ”Edgar Allan Poe.

Juan Manuel de Prada recomienda los cuentos de Edgar Allan Poe y su aportacion a la literatura de misterio.

Welcome to Episode 244! In years past, the cooler temps and changing leaves were indicators that the year was winding down. This year, we also have THE PENGUIN BOOK OF GHOST STORIES: From Elizabeth Gaskell to Ambrose Bierce as a gauge. After this episode, we have only three more stories left to read – can you believe it? (We can guess the mixed responses to this question! haha.) We both enjoyed “The Moonlit Road” by Ambrose Bierce, which we discuss in this episode. Other books we've read and talk about include A HOUSE WITH GOOD BONES by T. Kingfisher, 107 DAYS by Kamala Harris, SUNNY SIDE UP by Katie Sturino, MARGARET FULLER: Collected Writings edited by Brigitte Bailey, Leslie Eckel, and Megan Marshall, and DEATH AT THE WHITE HART by Chris Chibnall. In Biblio Adventures, Emily recaps some of the bookish highlights from her vacation on Cape Cod, including BOOKSTORES (Provincetown Bookshop, Tim's Used Books, and Titcomb's Bookshop), LIBRARIES (Provincetown Public Library, the Sturgis Library, Eldridge Public Library and the South Chatham Library), and a bunch of LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES, including a charming mosaic #LFL. Chris spent a day working in the Barnard College Archives and then met a friend for a delicious dinner at Osteria Accademia, a book-lined restaurant on the Upper West Side. Afterwards, she headed to Grand Central to catch a train home to Connecticut and experienced the building's power outage, which made her worry about Dementors and rats. Last but not least, we are thrilled to welcome back OUR MYSTERY MAN, John Valeri for his 14th guest appearance. John joined us to discuss two ghost stories that are on our Ghost Stories Bingo card: “The Mask of the Red Death” by Edgar Allan Poe and “The Canterville Ghost” by Oscar Wilde. He also drops a few reading recommendations because it wouldn't be a proper visit from Our Mystery Man without them. Happy Listening and Happy Reading! https://www.bookcougars.com/blog-1/2025/episode244

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! “Solo su verdadero nombre hace reales a todos los seres y todas las cosas". Michael Ende Publicada por primera vez en la década de 1830, ha desconcertado a generaciones de lectores por su mezcla de simbolismo, prosa poética, parábola filosófica y narración fantástica. Apenas unas páginas bastan para que Poe construya un universo arquetípico que explora uno de los temas más profundos y perturbadores del pensamiento humano: la experiencia del silencio como metáfora del vacío, del límite del lenguaje, de la aniquilación del yo y el vértigo existencial. No se pierdan este poema en prosa de uno de los grandes maestros de la literatura universal, con nuestro análisis primigenio habitual...

In 1838, Edgar Allan Poe published a novel about shipwrecked sailors resorting to cannibalism, choosing a cabin boy named Richard Parker as their victim. Nearly fifty years later, a real shipwreck occurred—and the crew also cannibalized a cabin boy named Richard Parker. The eerie coincidence has baffled literary scholars and historians ever since. In this episode, we explore the strange overlap of fiction and reality in the Richard Parker coincidence.

Bronze Age Sword and Sorcery meets Military Fantasy in a lost world of long ago… Flying Ace Mason “Mace” Dickson was once a legend among fighter pilots. Now, in his middle years, that storied life is a distant memory—until NASA drafts Mace for a black book flight test. He's transported to a strange world forgotten by time, where he wakes on the desert sands of a bloody battlefield. In this land, warfare isn't fought from the skies at a distance. It's vicious and hand-to-hand, and arcane spells can kill a man just as quickly as spear or sword. Mace is pressed into service as a slave for the Black Legion, a renowned company of mercenaries under the banner of the splendid Atlantian Army of the West, currently besieging the fabled City of Serpents. The Legion is the tip of the Atlantian spear aimed straight at the heart of the power-mad Thuman Evol, who marshals red sorcerers, armored war-dinosaurs, and a host of grim fighting men to oppose them. Out of his depth, Mace is trapped in a no-holds-barred contest of gritty grunt infantry, massive war machines, and strange sorcery, where the soldiers, NCOs, and battle captains of glorious Atlantis fight the enemy and sometimes one another for eternal honor, glory, and ultimate power. In this brutal world, ruthless circumstances force Mace to face at long last his inner demons. Inspiring him to persevere is the burning desire to return to his family for one more second chance at redeeming a life he once surrendered to fading glory and the bottle. But first he must survive the crucible of deadly magicks, backstabbing intrigues, and the utter savagery that is the lost world of Atlantea... First, Mace must live through hell...

The initial inspiration for the film was NOT based on a true story – it was based on an unfinished Edgar Allan Poe story that was also called “The Lighthouse.” Max Eggers began adapting the story but couldn't figure out what to do with it so his brother jumped in to help, sourcing the plot from the story of a Welsh lighthouse tragedy, which for most people, would sound tame. It isn't. And while the story of Thomas Howell, Thomas Griffith, and the Smalls Lighthouse isn't a story of an unexplained disappearance, a mysterious death, or brutal true crime, it's still a horror story that is worthy of Edgar Allan Poe.

What happens when classic literature inspires classic albums? This week, Dude and Don explore two towering concept records that channel the words and worlds of famous authors, transforming poems and dystopias into some of rock's most ambitious music.Theme: Albums Inspired by Books From Poe to Orwell, musicians have long found fuel in the pages of novels and poems—turning tales of fear, fate, and rebellion into creative sonic journeys.1. The Alan Parsons Project – Tales of Mystery and Imagination (1976)Background: Debut album by producer Alan Parsons and songwriter Eric Woolfson, tales of Edgar Allan Poe reimagined in progressive rock. Features guest vocals from John Miles, Arthur Brown, and orchestral flourishes by Andrew Powell.Sound/Legacy: Cinematic, theatrical prog with standout studio effects (early use of vocoder on “The Raven”) and lush orchestration. A cult classic, it set a standard for literary concept albums—melding horror, drama, and symphonic grandeur.Key Tracks: “A Dream Within a Dream,” “The Raven,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Fall of the House of Usher.”2. David Bowie – Diamond Dogs (1974)Background: Eighth Bowie album, born from an abandoned adaptation of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, blends dystopian fiction with glam, proto-punk, and theatrical storytelling. Bowie takes the reins on guitar and production.Sound/Legacy: Razor-edged and restless, this LP combines dark glam anthems with fragmented narrative and new techniques like Burroughs' “cut-up” lyrics. “Rebel Rebel” provides glittery hooks, while Halloween Jack and Hunger City stalk its dystopian landscape. Influenced punk and goth scenes to come.Key Tracks: “Diamond Dogs,” “Sweet Thing/Candidate,” “Rebel Rebel,” “Chant of the Ever Circling Skeletal Family.”Diggin'The Hives – Forever Forever The Hives (2025)Duran Duran – Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983)Of Monsters and Men – All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade (2025)Kathleen Edwards – Billionaire (2025)Join Us What book would make a wild concept album?

“En las sociedades primitivas los chamanes podían considerarse como una clase de embaucadores, estos tenían muchas categorías y existía entre ellos la tradición del ‘trickster’, y el trickster no era otra cosa que un bufón, un payaso, un tipo que desplegaba su magia a través de la comedia y el arte. Su tarea era engañar a los dioses, hacer reír a los dioses, para así tener acceso a lo divino, porque la risa y el humor nos permiten ser completamente nosotros mismos.” George Carlin Esta noche en nuestro #podcast de iVoox, vuelve uno de los autores más influyentes de la literatura, el maestro Edgar Allan Poe, con uno de sus relatos de venganza más representativos y originales, Hop-Frog.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 20, 2025 is: enmity • EN-muh-tee • noun Enmity is a formal word that refers to a very deep unfriendly feeling, such as hatred or ill will, that is often felt mutually. // Having to collaborate on the project only increased the bitter enmity between the two coworkers, who had never gotten along. See the entry > Examples: "Paul Monreal is a fourth-great-grandchild of Catherine and Patrick O'Leary, who endured the enmity of Chicagoans after they were wrongfully accused of starting the Great Chicago Fire, which legend said was started by a jittery dairy cow named Daisy." — William Lee, The Chicago Tribune, 5 July 2025 Did you know? The resemblance between enmity and enemy is no coincidence: both words come from the Anglo-French word enemi, which literally translates to "enemy." And when you feel enmity for a particular person—that is, deep-seated dislike or ill will—"enemy" may very well be an apt descriptor for them. While it is possible to feel enmity for someone who does not share or return one's animosity, enmity is typically used for mutual hatred or antagonism between people (or groups, factions, etc.), as when Edgar Allan Poe wrote of the families of Berlifitzing and Metzengerstein in his first published short story: "Never before were two houses so illustrious, mutually embittered by hostility so deadly. The origin of this enmity seems to be found in the words of an ancient prophecy—'A lofty name shall have a fearful fall ...'"

Send us a textWithin the past few days, this podcast has dealt with Victor Hugo, Jonathan Swift, and Edgar Allan Poe - all these individuals were giants who challenged the status quo, but in vastly different ways. Today I would like to add Henry David Thoreau to the mix for a hopefully a compelling contrast. He's often misunderstood, just like Poe, but his rebellion was one of quiet solitude rather than gothic excess or satirical fury.Now when you think of a revolutionary, what comes to mind? A furious orator on a soapbox, a satirist wielding a pen like a sword, or a poet railing against the universe? We've talked about all of them: Jonathan Swift and his biting satire, Victor Hugo and his grand, sweeping social protests, and Edgar Allan Poe, the ultimate rebel of the interior self.But what about the man who rebelled by simply walking away?Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

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.
