Rampage in ValdostaAd-Free Safe House EditionEpisode 126 concerned this podcast's first non-human perpetrator, a great big crazy brilliant elephant first known as Empress when imported into the United States in 1871. She killed so many handlers that she was sentenced to death many times, but doing so was so difficult that she was just passed from show to show. Along the way someone changed her name to Gypsy, and she spent the last decade of her tragic life with the Harris Nickel Plate Circus. She claimed at least seven victims, but she was crazy for a reason, and if you're an animal lover, I've got to warn you that you're about to get a big dose of outrage and indignation. More Serial KillersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.

Issus du peuple Antandroy, une communauté chamanique du sud de Madagascar, ces artistes utilisent leurs chants et instruments traditionnels pour invoquer les esprits « Kukulamp » et ainsi soigner les villageois, éloignés de toute médecine moderne. L'origine de ce projet unique remonte à une commande du Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, qui demandait à Loya de concevoir un concert pour accompagner une exposition dédiée à Madagascar, en s'inspirant des archives sonores du musée. C'est ainsi que Loya découvre la musique de Remanindry et en tombe sous le charme. En 2019, il se rend à Tuléar pour rencontrer ce musicien en personne, donnant lieu à une rencontre musicale d'une rare intensité. De cette alchimie est née l'idée de collaborer sur Blakaz Antandroy, un projet ambitieux qui marie la musique chamanique Antandroy à l'univers de la musique électronique.Remanindry, comme Loya, est né dans l'océan Indien. Tous les deux grandissent en fréquentant des cérémonies faisant appel aux esprits. Les sons, les odeurs et les couleurs intenses lors des cérémonies spirituelles imprègnent profondément tous leurs sens. Loya arrive en Europe et s'initie aux instruments électroniques qu'il va maîtriser plus tard. Remanindry commence son apprentissage de la musique Antandroy sous la direction éclairée de sa belle-mère, elle-même percussionniste et chanteuse dans les cérémonies. Ancien lutteur, il découvre sa voix puissante qui résonne dans sa carrure imposante. Il apprend le lokanga (violon malgache) et intègre tout le répertoire de sa famille. Il pratique les cérémonies dans tout le sud de Madagascar et décide d'habiter à Tuléar lorsque sa famille s'agrandit. Il fait la rencontre d'autres musiciens malgaches, notamment Régis Gizavo qui découvre tout son talent exceptionnel. Il a été aussi membre du groupe Ny Malegasy Orkestra qui a porté l'étendard de la chanson malgache à l'international. De son côté, Loya commence son apprentissage en devenant ingénieur informaticien. Il apprend à maîtriser les machines et en parallèle entame un parcours d'apprentissage dans les musiques classiques et le jazz.

There's an old saying: “A picture is worth a thousand words.” By that count, artist Peter Waddell is a masterful storyteller. Beginning in 2004, the White House Historical Association commissioned the artist to create well-researched paintings to represent different periods from White House history that were not drawn, painted, or photographed definitively in their own times. The result is a collection of over a dozen pieces of artwork that capture lesser known moments of presidential life at the White House. Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, spoke with Peter about how these moments were chosen, the meticulous research that went into these paintings, and how Peter is able to create works that transport viewers and students to another time and another place in American history. Stewart and Peter discuss three of his extraordinary paintings that are part of the White House Historical Association's collection:  A Vision Takes Form, 1796 about the construction of the White House; Tiber Creek: The Bathers which depicts a moment when President John Quincy Adams escaped a leaking boat; and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy at Malmaison, 1961 which shows Mrs. Kennedy visiting the home of Empress Josephine of France. The Empress's silk draped bed chamber appears to have inspired the redesign and decoration of the Blue Room at the White House during the Kennedy administration. You can view Peter Waddell's paintings for the White House Historical Association here.

Empress Josephine was one of the most fascinating women of the French Revolutionary period. Little Jo started out as the oldest daughter of a French noble family in the Caribbean with plenty of clout but not enough cash, so she was soon married off to her first husband, who provided her with the cash she needed but not the love. The French Revolution turned her life upside down, and in the fight for financial security, she met a rising star named Napoloan, who would carry her from being the wife of a soldier to being the empress of his short-lived empire.

Ahoy, history besties! Ready to set sail into the chaotic and badass world of piracy? But forget the bearded, rum-guzzling captains of the 1600s—this week, we're diving into the legend of an ancient pirate queen who gave Rome the middle finger and (allegedly) cursed an entire city. Meet Teuta of Illyria, the woman who turned the Adriatic Sea into her personal treasure chest and left a legacy fierce enough to still haunt the waves. What's Inside This Episode? ⚓ A queen who ruled with a cutlass and a crown ⚓ How piracy went from a side hustle to Illyria's top industry ⚓ Rome's terrible attempt at diplomacy (Spoiler: it ends with an assassination) ⚓ Betrayals, sieges, and one epic curse that lasted centuries ⚓ Why Teuta's legacy still slaps over 2,000 years later Why You'll Love It: If you love history with a side of sass, drama, and high-seas adventure, this episode is for you.

Interview with David Rhodes, Executive Chairman, and Alexandra Woodyer Sherron, President & CEO of Empress Royalty Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/empress-royalty-tsxvempr-chairman-bullish-on-companys-potential-to-deliver-significant-growth-6299Recording date: 3rd March 2025Empress Royalty Corp. has reached a significant milestone in its growth trajectory, achieving positive cash flow and $8 million in revenue for 2024, more than doubling the $3.5 million generated in 2023. The company projects continued strong growth, with expectations to double revenue again to $15-16 million in 2025 based solely on their existing portfolio.This revenue is derived from four key assets: a silver stream in Mexico, a gold stream in Peru, a gold royalty in Mozambique, and a gold royalty in South Africa. The portfolio is already showing strong returns on investment, with Empress recovering nearly 90% of their $5 million investment in the Mexico project, about half of their $10 million Peru investment, and exceeding their initial $3 million Mozambique investment with $4.2 million returned to date.Empress differentiates itself in the royalty and streaming sector through its active investment approach, focusing on junior mining companies that are either entering production or expanding operations. Unlike competitors who may passively acquire existing royalties or focus on early-stage exploration, Empress directly invests in mining companies and maintains close operational relationships, including regular reporting and site visits."Our business motto is doubling every year our cash flow and our revenue. That takes wise stewardship and that's a little different. We're not just all about making the market happy; we're about building a business," stated David Rhodes, Executive Chairman.The company has maintained disciplined capital allocation, evaluating over 10 potential deals last year but advancing none due to technical or other concerns. This selective approach has ensured their existing investments perform well while preserving capital for strategic opportunities.Having achieved positive cash flow, Empress is now positioned to reinvest incoming revenue into new opportunities without diluting existing shareholders. They also maintain access to $20 million in funding from financial partner Nebari, providing additional capacity for growth while keeping general and administrative expenses flat at approximately $2 million annually.The company is currently in advanced discussions regarding a potential new investment in the United States, while also evaluating opportunities in Africa and South America. Empress maintains a flexible approach to geographical risk, leveraging management's international experience to evaluate and structure investments in diverse locations.As Rhodes noted regarding their precious metals focus: "We believe in gold, we believe it's going to $3,000, we believe in silver, we believe that's going to $40." This outlook would dramatically enhance returns from their existing portfolio while creating opportunities for new deals as mining companies seek capital to benefit from higher metal prices.View Empress Royalty's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/empress-royaltySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This is the man that even contemporaries referred to as THE LAST ROMAN.  Only son of General Gaudentius, born in Durostorum, a frontier fortress on the Danube, Aetius, he wound up in the West after his father fought under Emperor Theodosius at the Frigidus.  From there he found himself on a fast track that would send him as a hostage to Alaric and the Goths, and from there to Uldin and the Huns where he would grow up amongst Rome's most fearsome enemies.  When he was released by the Huns in his early 30's and returned to Ravenna, there was no man that had the knowledge of those enemies like Aetius, something that the Empress, Galla Placidia, knew all too well, as did his enemies at court...

From 527 to 565 AD, Emperor Justinian I and his Empress Theodora ruled over the Byzantine Empire in Constantinople. Together, they reshaped the Mediterranean world, weathering political upheaval, wars of conquest, and an outbreak of bubonic plague. In this first installment of a multi-part series, we explore the early years of New Rome's greatest power couple. Rising from a disreputable background in the brothels of Constantinople, the actress-turned-informant Theodora catches the eye of Prince Justinian, heir to the Byzantine throne...

She prevented war and death on an immense scale, in acts that could earn the Nobel Peace Prize today. But History enshrined Sisi, Empress of Austria, as a vain beauty queen. The smear campaign was personal, not political: it started with her own tyrannical mother-in-law. Can Sisi conquer her own self-doubt, and drag draconian Austria into the modern world? Our guest is Nancy Goldstone, author of The Rebel Empresses: Elisabeth of Austria and Eugenie of France, Power and Glamor in the Struggle for Europe. _________________ Music in the episode includes works by Johann Strauss, Joseph Suk, Giuseppe Verdi, Bedrich Smetana, Johannes Brahms, Franz Schubert, Franz Liszt, and Kevin MacLeod.

Theodora was the wife of Emperor Theophilus the Iconoclast, but secretly revered the icons, and protected others who did, until the emperor's death. Upon his death, she quickly restored veneration of icons to churches throughout the empire, the event celebrated on the upcoming Sunday of Orthodoxy, the first Sunday of the Great Fast. She ruled wisely as regent for the young emperor Michael for fifteen years: she is said to have initiated the mission of Sts Cyril and Methodios to the Slavs. Before Michael III reached his majority, he was prevailed upon by Bardas, Theodora's brother, to depose her and send her to a monastery, where she finished her life in peace and holiness.   When Constantinople fell, her incorrupt relics were taken to Corfu along with those of St Spyridon. They are still venerated there.   There is a much-debated story that, when Theophilus was dying, the Empress, moved by compassion for him, brought an icon of the Mother of God out of hiding and laid it on his face; and that Theophilus, coming to himself, kissed the holy icon and confessed the true Faith before giving up his soul. Other accounts say that the Emperor died in heresy. It seems possible that the holy Empress circulated the story to ensure that her departed husband would be remembered in the Church's prayers.

After surviving incarceration and forced incestuous marriage during the worst violence of the French Revolution of 1789, they dared sartorial revolt. Together, Joséphine and Térézia shed the underwear cages and massive, rigid garments that women had been obliged to wear for centuries. They slipped into light, mobile dresses, cropped their hair short, wrapped themselves in shawls, and championed the handbag. Juliette made the new style stand for individual liberty. The erotic audacity of these fashion revolutionaries conquered Europe, starting with Napoleon. Everywhere a fashion magazine could reach, women imitated the news coming from Paris. It was the fastest and most total change in clothing history. Two centuries ahead of its time, it was rolled back after only a decade by misogynist rumors of obscene extravagance.

Two-and-a-half years later, on a beach on the island of Hawaii, Cook was killed in a conflict with native Hawaiians. How did Cook, who was unique among captains for his respect for Indigenous peoples and cultures, come to that fatal moment? Hampton Sides' bravura account of Cook's last journey both wrestles with Cook's legacy and provides a thrilling narrative of the titanic efforts and continual danger that characterized exploration in the 1700s. Cook was renowned for his peerless seamanship, his humane leadership, and his dedication to science-–the famed naturalist Joseph Banks accompanied him on his first voyage, and Cook has been called one of the most important figures of the Age of Enlightenment. He was also deeply interested in the native people he encountered. In fact, his stated mission was to return a Tahitian man, Mai, who had become the toast of London, to his home islands. On previous expeditions, Cook mapped huge swaths of the Pacific, including the east coast of Australia, and initiated first European contact with numerous peoples. He treated his crew well, and endeavored to learn about the societies he encountered with curiosity and without judgment. Yet something was different on this last voyage. Cook became mercurial, resorting to the lash to enforce discipline, and led his two vessels into danger time and again. Uncharacteristically, he ordered violent retaliation for perceived theft on the part of native peoples. This may have had something to do with his secret orders, which were to chart and claim lands before Britain's imperial rivals could, and to discover the fabled Northwest Passage. Whatever Cook's intentions, his scientific efforts were the sharp edge of the colonial sword, and the ultimate effects of first contact were catastrophic for Indigenous people around the world. The tensions between Cook's overt and covert missions came to a head on the shores of Hawaii. His first landing there was harmonious, but when Cook returned after mapping the coast of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, his exploitative treatment of the Hawaiians led to the fatal encounter. At once a ferociously-paced story of adventure on the high seas and a searching examination of the complexities and consequences of the Age of Exploration, THE WIDE WIDE SEA is a major work from one of our finest narrative nonfiction writers. 1115-1130 2/8: The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook Hardcover – April 9, 2024 by  Hampton Sides  (Author) 1130-1145 3/8: The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook Hardcover – April 9, 2024 by  Hampton Sides  (Author) 1145-1200 /48: The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook Hardcover – April 9, 2024 by  Hampton Sides  (Author) FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 5/8: The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook Hardcover – April 9, 2024 by  Hampton Sides  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Wide-Sea-Imperial-Ambition-Contact/dp/0385544766/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xvSnWMwZwkRk3nB_oha-u7YL0k9kTC4voIQCoSWDz75eZXBRk_ZvRqUZ_P6pMaemKHJ8AhEdiyCpLrikQsp9iSIHNpX0v0n71kJqmCUW1VujrRMuDnenOyoWd5NtaDroImV4hSJ-hXf41L0HQmBS2q4Ws_PUqdVAXpvxskDgbzkPGE54c4xCqXxznyoRsahmmC7zXsNKkmipQCOKWZt728zHdG1ntVV4xSjkKJdX0v4.qQvWTGgLh4U5mw9t7ELNeecNVMkHQl35VNFyULPNX4g&qid=1720822146&sr=8-1 On July 12th, 1776, Captain James Cook, already lionized as the greatest explorer in British history, set off on his third voyage in his ship the HMS Resolution.

3/4: Liberty Equality Fashion: The Women Who Styled the French Revolution Hardcover – by  Anne Higonnet (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Liberty-Equality-Fashion-Styled-Revolution/dp/0393867951 Joséphine Bonaparte, future Empress of France; Térézia Tallien, the most beautiful woman in Europe; and Juliette Récamier, muse of intellectuals, had nothing left to lose. After surviving incarceration and forced incestuous marriage during the worst violence of the French Revolution of 1789, they dared sartorial revolt. Together, Joséphine and Térézia shed the underwear cages and massive, rigid garments that women had been obliged to wear for centuries. They slipped into light, mobile dresses, cropped their hair short, wrapped themselves in shawls, and championed the handbag. Juliette made the new style stand for individual liberty. The erotic audacity of these fashion revolutionaries conquered Europe, starting with Napoleon. Everywhere a fashion magazine could reach, women imitated the news coming from Paris. It was the fastest and most total change in clothing history. Two centuries ahead of its time, it was rolled back after only a decade by misogynist rumors of obscene extravagance. New evidence allows the real fashion revolution to be told.
