The ornate eggs that Faberge made for the imperial family of Russia are famous around the world. 52 eggs were made for the imperial family, and the majority of these are still around today, on display around the world in various collections.  However, some of the eggs are still missing and have from time to time been found in the strangest of places.  Take a listen, maybe you'll be the next to come across a long lost egg.

In the 2000s an anonymous American man found an egg worth millions. It was a Faberge Imperial Egg and it's story is fascinating. This episode traces the origin of the Faberge Eggs, and also the story of how it wound up in a kitchen in America's Midwest. Also, as the Gold Rush boomed in the 1800s there were not enough actually, edible eggs to feed all the new faces in California. As a result, an Egg War developed over unusual eggs laid by murres on an island chain off the the coast of San Francisco

How do we help young (and not so young) truth seekers make connections, build context, and satisfy their curiosity? Nonfiction storyteller extraordinaire Candace Fleming joins us to discuss the power of nonfiction storytelling for building connections, the importance of asking questions, and the power of vital ideas in creating works of nonfiction that kids (and their adults) want to read.  Among her nonfiction titles are Giant Squid, Amelia Lost: The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart, and The Family Romanoff.. Most recently, she's published The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindberg, which won the 2021 YALSA Excellence in nonfiction and Honeybee: The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera, the winner of the 2021 Sibert Medal. She also just recently published Crash From Outer Space and Polar Bear. I had a wonderful time talking truth, fiction, and everything in between with Candace Fleming. [01:41] Why write nonfiction? And how do you write for diverse audiences that range from preschool to high school?The reason I write for middle school and middle school and high school nonfiction is because I think they have plenty of facts to hand, but they don't have any context. And I also think that that is an age group that are seeking facts. They're looking, actively looking. They are truth seekers. [05:27] How does creative nonfiction help build connections? Crash From Outer Space I ask myself, what does this piece of history have to say? What does this piece of history have to say to how we live today? What echoes? What hooks? [10:18] How do you structure nonfiction to keep readers engaged while providing confidence that what they are reading is factual?[11:56] Building Creative Nonfiction Through Vital Ideas [14:25] What happens when research shifts the vital idea?

Welcome to episode 29, in which we spend more time talking about Anastasia Romanov than "Nancy Drew and the Clue in the Jewel Box". Trophy winners from this book include: Escaped Romanovs hiding out in River Heights, Helen Corning's return to our lives (thank goodness), and Nancy's meteoric rise to to the top of the local modeling industry.

Listen to the end for a sneak peak of what are sure to be the greatest hits from the soundtrack. We'll be auditioning for tap dancing twins shortly.Rated 9 out of 12 Faberge Eggs.

You are in the right place! Your eyes do not deceive you! We're actually talking about spy romances this week and no Sarahs were harmed during the discussion, but that's probably because it was a discussion with one of her favorite people, the fantastic Nana Malone! We talk about Nana's immense career, about how she took matters into her own hands and started making the covers she wished to see in the world, about her Brown Nipple reading challenge, about her latest book, a Kobo original, The Spy in 3B, and about porny ferris wheels. Real ordinary stuff. We also get to the bottom of why Sarah doesn't like spy romances generally, but why she can't get enough of Mr. & Mrs. Smith retellings. Our next read along in some number of weeks (three? four?) is Kylie Scott's Lead, one of our longtime favorites. Get it at Amazon, Apple Books, B&N, Kobo, or Bookshop.org! Thank you, as always, for listening! Please follow us on your favorite podcasting app, and if you are up for leaving a rating or review there, we would be very grateful! Show NotesWelcome Nana Malone back to the pod, and if you want to hear more about the Brown Nipple Challenge, check out her Instagram. She is an amazing author and recently became her own cover model after failing to find good stock photos for her books.If you don't know how stock photography works, here's a brief primer on how they can be used to make book covers and teasers. The problems with finding stock photography that is truly diverse is a well-known problem. For most authors, custom photography is cost-prohibitive. Nana's favorite photographer is Wander Aguiar. If you want to hear more about romance covers and their history, Sarah was interviewed on an episode of the 99% Invisible podcast about covers this week. Head over and have a listen after you listen to this! Just in case you need a quick review, there are currently three paths in publishing: self-published, indie, and traditional. It's common to use “indie” and “self-published” interchangeably, which why Nana described an author as “their own business.” Strictly speaking, Indie means small, independent presses, such as Violet Gaze Press. And Trad, or traditional publishing, refers to the Big Five (Big Four?) New York publishing houses: Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster. A little about the history of Kobo and why it's worth supporting them. No one likes it when the Mary Sue character has no idea what's going on. Turns out that Ferris Wheel sex is a real thing at Coachella. And Myrtle Beach. And Vegas. And Kindle Unlimited.Daniel Craig jumps on a train. Pierce Brosnon catches a plane.Faberge Eggs have a storied history and are very fancy. The hero of Night Magic is not that John McClane. If you like a Cold War thriller, you might enjoy a bonkers 80s spy thriller, The Charm School by Nelson DeMille. Jen did love Lies, but had some thoughts about the ending and unreliable narrators that you can read after you finish the book. Miss Moneypenny.We also mentioned some movies and TV shows about spies: Mr. and Mrs. Smith, La Femme Nikita, Spy, James Bond, True Lies, The Americans, Kingsman, and The Scarlet Pimpernel.

There’s a saying in Russian… Better to have 100 friends than 100 rubles. And until I spoke with today’s guest - I didn’t truly understand the depth of meaning in that statement. Here to discuss the country of Russia with me is Greg Tepper. Greg has spent the last 30 years opening the eyes of visitors to one of Russia’s best kept secrets - the warmth of the Russian people once you’re part of their inner circle. Greg explains how the typical stereotypes of Russians are only surface level, and how, with the right connections - you can dig deeper. You might be expecting scenes of the Red Square, Summer Palaces, the Russian Imperial Family, and Faberge Eggs when planning a trip to Russia - but it’s meeting actual Russians that will help you to understand the world, and yourself just a little bit better. And insider tip - you can’t do that without an expert at your side. Greg and I discuss everything from the Trans Siberian Railway to how to chase your vodka; from ultra exclusive experiences to Russian comfort food.

Just in time for Easter - I am talking with Sophie Law, a Bonhams Russian expert and Faberge Egg aficionado, oh yes - and fellow author. Tune in to learn everything about the most beautiful eggs in the world. Including the extraordinary story of a missing egg that was almost melted down, but instead proven to be Faberge - and sold for £20m! And one of the Queen's exquisite eggs which forever had been thought to be by Boucheron, but instead was a Tsar Imperial Faberge Egg. Why Tsar Alexander III decided to start this tantalizing tradition of giving his wife Tsarina Maria Feodorovna an Easter by Faberge in 1885, and how they perhaps started to symbolise the extravagance of the Romanovs, and their ultimate and devastating downfall.

Its another commentary, this time for the campiest Bond movie of all time and a personal favorite. This movie has a lot: Faberge Eggs, Soviets, Auctions, Fake Horses, Knife throwing circus henchmen whom are also twins, Bond in clown white, and lastly and certainly most least a horrible depiction of the culture of India. Literally, they hit every terrible cliche.

We crack open the trivia-filled world of EGGS! Which end of the egg comes out of a chicken first? Chris fluffs it up with the science and how-to behind perfect scrambled eggs. (And we have a micro interview with a very special guest who has very strong opinions on this particular dish.)

Welcome to SPECTRE etc. This is the James Bond podcast where we discuss the ins and the outs of each film. In this episode, Roger offers a history lesson on India’s colonial past! Enjoy our first ever pre-titles sequence as we try to out-do Bond for schoolboy humour, and join our short stay on a sapphic island in “Octopussy”. * A pre-titles sequence everyone enjoys sets us up for what we can only assume is the all-time high of Rita Coolidge’s career: yet another Bond ballad. * Agent 009 learns that a clown costume is the worst possible outfit for a midnight chase through the jungle. Then, we meet the new M when Bond gives a crash course in Faberge Eggs. * Orlov defies the wishes of his frenemies and presses on with his plan to conquer Europe. Part One of this plan? Sending Kamal to a jewelry auction. Bond is meant to walk on eggshells but bids big; Kamal keeps his cool and shells out for the egg. * In India, Bond heads straight for the casino to play his signature game… backgammon? Bond brings sexy back with a no-look roll, as he and Kamal eventually come face-to-face. This cheekiness is swiftly punished with a tuk-tuk chase - which includes a quick lesson on the cultural delights of the subcontinent. * Bond visits Q’s makeshift lab for terrible one-liners and schoolboy nonsense. Bond’s date with Kamal’s girl leads to Magda shows Bond her octopussy, then taking a walk of shame right off the balcony - upon which Gobinda comes out of the shadows to have his way with James. * Bond’s imprisonment in Kamal’s castle leads to nice suits and fine dining. Refusing to put up with this outrageous treatment, James breaks out of his cell and catches a hint of exposition. Bond quickly realises the only way out of this fortress is to hide in a bodybag until he is taken out with the next truckload of corpses. * An unconvincing zombie impression gives James enough room to escape into the jungle.This is hard viewing even before the vine swing is ruined with Tarzan’s awful audio. * Bond’s colleague Vijay is demoted to massuese, while Octopussy’s ladies-only island outrages James. Bond heads for this island paradise, and Octopussy quickly wraps her tentacles around him. Kamal arrives and is angered by Bond’s nasty habit of surviving, so heads off to hire some henchmen at the cantina. Unlike Vijay, James is able to escape the circular saw yo-yo. * Bond follows Octopussy and Kamal to Germany, where he learns that Orlov and Kamal are double-crossing Octopussy by switching precious jewels with an atomic payload. Bond kills a few henchmen before Orlov dumps exposition all over him. Bond’s knowledge of the full plan leads to driving a car on the train tracks, and then spending time on, in, and under a train. SPECTRE Etc has plenty of questions about these scenes, but Col has all the answers! * James jumps from the train and once more flees through a jungle. Bond arrives at the circus and spends a good half hour putting on clown makeup. It turns out that Col is also our go-to man for questions about painting one’s own head. * Bond infiltrates the circus but no one takes the clown seriously. Octopussy steals a policeman’s gun to shoot at the bomb; then James defuses it the old-fashioned way. * Everyone zooms back to India for a circus-style sneak attack, before Bond’s horse catches up to Kamal’s plane. Bond brings down the plane, then lets Octopussy nurse him back to health. And of course, keep checking back for a link to our petition to have Gobinda officially renamed The Turbanator!

Richard Reames grows boats and chairs! He plants trees in a pattern, waters and waits as they grow into what he wants them to be. He visits Ripley Radio, the official radio show of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! this week and tells us how, and why, he does this. Chad Lewis takes us on a road trip to Southern Wisconsin, where he discovers the Garden of Eden. Additional weird, crazy, strange and wacky stories on the May 5 Edition of Ripley Radio includes: Skidmore College is offering a summer course based on Miley Cyrus. Ralf finds out it’s much more than a class on popular culture when he talks with the assistant professor who will be teaching it; Angela reports on a new cell phone fit for the spies amongst us – it self-destructs if tampered with; Chad Lewis tells the tale of a mansion that purportedly grew and shrank on its own, and nobody could figure out how it did it; In her Weird Medical Malady Minute, Jodi Pliszka informs us if the doctor can’t figure out what’s ailing you, check out what alien objects you may have in your stomach; Award-winning Florida broadcaster Scott Fais describes a small island on Florida’s West Coast inhabited only by monkeys, with a warning to not get too close; A man on a business trip to Europe buys one of the missing Faberge Eggs from the Court of Imperial Russia for $15,000. He bought it for the gold value, not realizing at the time that it was worth many, many millions. We unveil its value; and we hear of a new mummy discovery in Germany. The mummified woman was discovered sitting in a chair in front of her turned-on television. For our musical egress this week, we hear the award-winning country song by Kacey Musgraves, Merry Go ‘Round.

Mariella talks to author of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, Paul Torday, about his new book. Sue Arnold reviews the latest crop of audio books from Faberge Eggs to Freedom by Jonathan Franzen.
