Today I talked to David Tereshchuk about his memoir A Question of Paternity: My Life As an Unaffiliated Reporter (Envelope Books, 2024) Tereshchuk leapt from a bleak childhood in a small town on the English-Scottish borders to a precocious high-flying career as a TV reporter, first in London, then in New York. During his years as a journalist, he managed to elicit revealing statements from tyrants and the oppressed, but there was one person he never persuaded to open up to him—his mother. He wanted to know just one thing: who his father was. It wasn't until he was in his 50s that she confided to having been raped, aged 15, by a priest – and even then, not all her information was reliable. Alongside his career, the search for his mother's abuser has haunted him, adding further layers of stress to a life already marked by alcoholism and insecurity. This is his astonishing story, one that deserves to sit alongside those of Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings and David Brinkley, and another revelatory title from EnvelopeBooks.

Matt Crawford speaks with author David Tereschchuk about his book, A Question of Paternity: My Life as an Unaffiliated Reporter. Tereshchuk describes his childhood in a small town on the English-Scottish borders to a precocious high-flying career as a TV reporter, first in London, then in New York. During his years as a journalist, he managed to interview some of the most interesting figures of our times, from tyrants to heads of state, but there was one person he never persuaded to open up to him—his mother. The question of who his father was still haunted him. It wasn't until he was in his 50s that she confided to having been raped, aged 15, by a priest – and even then, not all her information was reliable. Alongside his career, the search for his mother's abuser has haunted him, adding further layers of stress to a life already marked by alcoholism and insecurity. This is his astonishing story, one that deserves to sit alongside those of Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings and David Brinkley, and another revelatory title from EnvelopeBooks.

We gladly roll out the red carpet this week, on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast, and welcome in veteran reporter DAVID TERESHCHUK to our worldwide show. David Tereshchuk leapt from an unpromising childhood in a small town on the English-Scottish borders to a precocious high-flying career as a TV journalist, first in London, then New York, interviewing such luminaries as Nelson Mandela and countless others. During his working life, he has managed to extract revealing answers from tyrants and the oppressed, but never managed to coax his mother into admitting who his father was, even after her revelation to him, when he was in his 50s, that she had been raped, aged 15, by a priest. Alongside his career, the search for his mother's abuser has haunted him, adding further layers of stress to a life already marked by alcoholism and insecurity.  This is his astonishing story, and one that deserves to sit alongside those of Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings and David Brinkley. A compelling addition to EnvelopeBooks' "Media" and "Memoir" titles.

Adam talks to Dan Jackson, author of The Northumbrians: Northeast England and its People, and Ted Olson, Professor of Appalachian Studies at East Tennessee State University. Hosted on Acast.

In a world where we thought gnomes were just a fun ornament in our yards, there lives a gnome that yearns for blood! Not just any blood, but the blood of their unsuspecting human victims! I know who would have known. Join us for another remix episode as our host Patrice walks us through the story of the Redcap Gnome. We will hear some history, great interpretations of the English/Scottish accent (ok they aren't that great, but we tried) and the most important thing is to hear how to survive an encounter with one of these gnomes. Grab a drink because it's time to relax and enjoy this week's episode.

This week on What the Smut we are talking all about manipulative lovers and other amazing historical characters in A Year and a Day (Medieval DeWarenne Trilogy Book 1) by Virginia Henley. The book is set in medieval Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence. In the first half of the episode, we are talking about the historical figures in the book including Edward Longshanks, John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey, and Robert The Bruce. We were lucky to have our guest and historical book reader Amanda come to the rescue. As bad as we are at math it has NOTHING on medieval English/Scottish history. In the second half of the ep, we got to chat about the non-historical characters. You really can't lose with these characters! A racist granny, a dick-faced bad guy, a sweet cunning lady, and a normative and normative manly type man. Join in and see if you can count how many times Kandy says colonialism... Our manly man main character thinks quite poorly of women. He sees them as manipulative beasts so we spent quite a lot of time talking about manipulation. I think we answered the question of what makes manipulative lovers and then some. A manipulation is just a tool and pretty much everyone uses it. We even managed to bring perspective, intent, and ethics into the thing. Hey, as long as it's not math or history... 

Episode 6 of the Thirty Years War, King of the Islands, is out NOW!Traditional narratives of the Thirty Years War frequently gloss over the English/Scottish or British contribution, and in this episode, we do our best to rectify that error! We start with a scene of peacemaking not dissimilar to that visited in our previous episode, with the added twist that James I and VI had ended a twenty-year war instigated by his famous predecessor. The Anglo-Spanish war was at an end, with little good gains to show for it and all that had been spent, but there was still work for King James to do. Ireland required planting, money needed borrowing, ships needed sailing, and foreign diplomats needed talking to.If James was to bring Britain out of its Spanish funk and into the continental system, arrangements with old foes like France would have to be reached, and the relationship with the Dutch properly formalised. In the background of course, were the residual impacts of twenty years of war – a deep-seated suspicion among the British populace of everything Spanish or Catholic. Such trends would have to be combated, and time would tell whether James was equal to the task.***********DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW THESE LINKS!**1) To support the podcast financially in return for some extra audio content, check out Patreon!2) To find a community of history friends, look at our Facebook page and group!3) To keep up to date with us, follow us on Twitter!4) For everything else, visit our website, where you'll find the shop, archive, and much more!5) To purchase merchandise of all sorts, including mugs, books and clothing, check out our Merchants' Quarter!

In this episode I talk to Danica Boyce, the host of Fair Folk, an outstanding folklore podcast. Clarification from Danica: The version of the Cruel Mother that she sings is by Shirley Collins, an English singer; the song is English/Scottish but the lines about the afterlives are from The Maid and the Palmer, a ballad collected from an Irish traveller.Check out Fair Folk Podcast at:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/fair-folk-podcast/id1177770160Support House of Legends on Patreon at:https://www.patreon.com/houseoflegendsGet my book, The Bone Flute, at Amazon UK:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bone-Flute-Tears-Stars/dp/1709378727/ref=sr_1_1?crid=LHV0C9LXX449&keywords=daniel+allison&qid=1576565192&sprefix=Daniel+all%2Caps%2C374&sr=8-1And Amazon US:https://www.amazon.com/Bone-Flute-Sorcery-Prehistoric-Scotland-ebook/dp/B081P2TRR6/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3H9JF1VI7OSTY&keywords=daniel+allison&qid=1576565229&sprefix=Daniel+Allison%2Caps%2C395&sr=8-2Join the House of Legends Club at:https://www.houseoflegends.me/landing-page

It's a Marketing Study Lab special! Regular programming will resume shortly but for today, enjoy as we talk all things creative! Yes, the first special, needs a special guest and I am delighted to be accompanied on this episode by Mr. Dave Birss, who amongst some other titles, which we’ll find out about a bit later on is the author of ‘How to Get to Great Ideas?’ a book all about, well, getting great ideas. Before we get stuck into the innovative world that Dave has create in this book I just want to let you all know that it is out tomorrow, links in the show notes as always, but forget the notes, just go to Amazon, type in Dave Birss and you’ll see it – its yellow and has squiggles on the front. Once you’ve pre-ordered it, you will be given an access code that will allow you to listen to the rest of this episode in any language you want – so keep a look out for that code, if you cant find it, not to worry, the default language is English / Scottish so you should be fine if you’ve understood the first part of this intro. Takeaways - There are two types of thinking; Creative thinking and doing thinking, where some people are better at creativity and others are more doers. - Innovative thinking can be taught, it’s not something you are born with or without. Dave describes it as the input defining the output – if your creativity input is minimal the how do you expect the output to be any different. The same with any type of system really. - And speaking of systems, from a business perspective it is said there can be two types. A stifling system where it is all about control and there are layers of fear dominating the hierarchical structure or there is a system of liberation and freethinking. For more of the creative stuff, get Dave’s book and lets all start to think about getting great ideas!
