Podcasts about family secrets

Who are the Kennedys, really? And what has made the legacy of America's political dynasty so famous, divisive and enduring? The Kennedys are often described as the closest thing the United States has to a royal family, with fiercely competitive and divisive figures taking up space in American political and public life for generations.Even now, the influence of the Kennedy family continues to persist with RFK Junior, who is serving as the U.S. secretary of health and human services.There have been Kennedys who thrived with fame and power, and those who struggled greatly with that burden, with tragic consequences.The sunniest images of this famous family come from when they gathered at their rambling seaside compound in Cape Cod in the summers.One particular summer, in 1944, changed everything for the Kennedy clan, according to historian Leigh Straw, who is an internationally recognised expert on the Kennedy family and their legacy.It was the final year of World War Two—Jack, the future president, had become a war hero but his health was ailing; his brothers Bobby and Teddy were there, but their eldest brother Joe Junior was in England, preparing to embark on his final wartime mission. Their sister Rosemary was out of the picture altogether, hidden away from public and never spoken of.This was the year, Leigh says, when personal tragedies and public heroics began to shape the Kennedy legacy.The Kennedys at Cape Cod, 1944: The Summer That Changed Everything is published by Bloomsbury.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggiei Morris.

Sterling Point is giving us everything we've been missing from a classic teen drama—and this week, we're diving into all of it. From the creators behind some of our favorite teen TV, the Prime Video series brings the family secrets, love triangles, shocking reveals and emotional cliffhangers, while somehow making even its soapiest twists feel incredibly human.I'm breaking down the entire first season, including Annie's unexpected summer at Sterling Point, her growing connection with Ellis, Ramona and Oona's complicated relationship, and the family mystery that completely turns Annie, Connor and Ramona's lives upside down. Plus, we count down the Top 5 Classic Teen Drama Soapy Moments Turned Sincere, from secret letters and messy love lives to that absolutely wild reveal about Ramona's biological father.We also get into why Sterling Point feels like a true return to the teen dramas of the Dawson's Creek, The O.C. and Gossip Girl era, why its characters and dialogue feel so refreshingly real, the season finale's biggest unanswered questions, and why we desperately need Season 2. And yes, we have to talk about that Ellis move.Major Sterling Point Season 1 spoilers ahead!00:00 Intro to pod02:07 Behind the scenes - Megan Park04:04 Dialogue and characters06:42 Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage08:47 Recap of season 112:05 Top 5 Soapy Turned Sincere12:20 Letters15:25 Love Triangle22:13 Punches thrown27:06 Goldie28:33 Joe32:05 Steven37:07 Ending42:50 Season 2Thank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our new theme song.

What if a story buried in your family for more than a century suddenly asked you to tell it? Brigid Kennedy's story begins with a real Irish treasure hunter, her great-grandfather Robert Patrick Kennedy, who crossed the Atlantic, married Eudocia Rodrigues in Arequipa, Peru, in 1910—and then disappeared into the Amazon.The story survived in fragments until one night, when Brigid's grandmother appeared to her in a dream and asked her to write the family story.Brigid had never written a novel. She said yes.The result is LOST — The Lost City of Incan Gold, a historical fantasy rooted in her Irish and Incan heritage.In this remarkable conversation, Michael and Brigid explore family mysteries, ancestral places, the power of heritage, and what happens when we travel across the world to reconnect with the people who came before us.From Ireland's Cliffs of Moher and Galway to the monastery in Peru where her great-grandparents married, this is a story about the past refusing to stay buried—and one woman's journey to bring it back to life.Sometimes the story isn't lost. It's waiting to be remembered.Takeaways:The story of Brigid Kennedy's great-grandfather, an Irish treasure hunter, is a profound tale that spans cultures and generations.Brigid's journey to write her family's history began with a dream from her grandmother, prompting her to uncover a long-buried legacy.The intertwining of Irish and Incan heritage in Brigid's novel serves as a testament to the power of ancestry and storytelling.Brigid's travels to Ireland and Peru allowed her to connect deeply with her roots, enriching her narrative with authenticity and emotion.The act of saying 'yes' to her grandmother's call led Brigid to rediscover her family's past and share it with the world through her writing.The conversation highlights the importance of reclaiming one's heritage and the stories that shape our identities across time and space.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

For nearly two decades, John Sabine was simply gone.His wife, Leigh, had spent years telling elaborate stories about their lives, convincing friends and family that John had left and started over somewhere else. She was a gifted storyteller whose lies became more outrageous with time, and few people questioned them. But when Leigh died of cancer in 2015, those stories began to unravel.After two friends made a horrifying discovery in the garden of the couple's former home in Beddau, Wales, investigators were confronted by a body wrapped in plastic. After 18 years the remains of John Sabine, had been found. As they worked to find out what happened, police revealed years of manipulation, compulsive deception, and the couple's infamous decision to abandon their five young children before John's disappearance. Today, we'll trace the lies that concealed a murder for nearly two decades, examine the evidence that finally exposed the truth behind one woman's carefully constructed fiction.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comAroesti, R.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Secrets in the Sunlit Room: A Revelation at Sant Pau Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2026-07-23-22-34-01-ca Story Transcript:Ca: Sant Pau brillava amb la llum d'estiu.En: Sant Pau shone with the summer light.Ca: Les parets blanques de l'hospital tenien un aire gairebé càlid, tot i l'aroma fred d'antiseptics que omplia l'aire.En: The white walls of the hospital had an almost warm feel, despite the cold aroma of antiseptics that filled the air.Ca: Jan estava assegut a la vora del llit de la seva mare, observant atentament com el sol entrava per la finestra, dibuixant ombres suaus que ballaven al sostre.En: Jan was sitting by his mother's bedside, attentively observing how the sun entered through the window, casting soft shadows that danced on the ceiling.Ca: Marta li feia companyia, dret al seu costat.En: Marta was keeping him company, standing by his side.Ca: Ella mirava la seva mare amb una tranquil·litat abatuda, com si la malaltia fos només un obstacle més en el seu camí familiar.En: She looked at her mother with a calmness tinged with resignation, as if the illness were just another obstacle in their family journey.Ca: "Marta, hem de parlar", va començar Jan, amb la veu una mica tremolosa.En: "Marta, we need to talk," Jan began, his voice a little shaky.Ca: Sempre havia sentit com si mai encaixés.En: He had always felt as though he never fit in.Ca: La família era com un trencaclosques on ell era la peça sobrera.En: The family was like a puzzle where he was the extra piece.Ca: Però aquella sensació tenia una explicació, un secret que mai no havia compartit.En: But that feeling had an explanation, a secret he had never shared.Ca: "Què passa, Jan?", va dir Marta, sense apartar la mirada de la seva mare.En: "What is it, Jan?" Marta said, not taking her eyes off her mother.Ca: "Hi ha una cosa que has de saber. És important per a nosaltres, per a la família", va respondre ell, sentint el pes de les paraules abans que sortissin.En: "There's something you need to know. It's important for us, for the family," he replied, feeling the weight of the words before they came out.Ca: Ella es va girar, intrigada però també alerta.En: She turned, intrigued yet also on guard.Ca: Jan va agafar aire profundament, mirant a la seva mare, que semblava envoltada en una pausa tranquil·la del temps.En: Jan took a deep breath, looking at his mother, who seemed enveloped in a calm pause of time.Ca: "La veritat és que sempre he estat el diferent perquè... no sóc el fill del papa", va deixar anar, sentint que el cor li bategava gairebé fins a explotar.En: "The truth is, I've always been different because... I'm not dad's son," he revealed, feeling his heart pounding almost to the point of bursting.Ca: El silenci es va fer espès a la sala.En: Silence thickened in the room.Ca: Marta es va quedar glaçada, la seva expressió era una barreja de sorpresa i confusió.En: Marta was left frozen, her expression a mixture of surprise and confusion.Ca: "És una broma, oi?", va murmurar, buscant una rialla d'alleujament en la situació.En: "Is this a joke?" she murmured, searching for a relieving laugh in the situation.Ca: Jan es va mantenir ferm, sacsejant el cap amb tristesa.En: Jan stood firm, shaking his head sadly.Ca: "No ho és, Marta.En: "It's not, Marta.Ca: Mai no ho he dit, però ara que la mama està... així, sento que ho has de saber."En: I've never said it, but now that mom is... like this, I feel you should know."Ca: Al principi, Marta es va apartar una mica, recollint els fragments de la seva comprensió trencada.En: At first, Marta withdrew a bit, gathering the fragments of her shattered understanding.Ca: Però, a poc a poc, va tornar a mirar el seu germà amb uns ulls que començaven a entendre.En: But, slowly, she turned to look at her brother with eyes that began to comprehend.Ca: "Per què mai no vas dir res?", va demanar, aquesta vegada amb menys tensió i més curiositat.En: "Why did you never say anything?" she asked, this time with less tension and more curiosity.Ca: "No volia ser la causa de més dolor.En: "I didn't want to be the cause of more pain.Ca: Però sempre m'ha pesat, com si visqués una mentida."En: But it's always weighed on me, as if I were living a lie."Ca: Amb aquelles paraules, Jan es va sentir més lleuger.En: With those words, Jan felt lighter.Ca: El secret que havia amagat tant de temps ja no tenia lloc per romandre ocult.En: The secret he had kept for so long no longer had a place to remain hidden.Ca: Marta va esbossar un somriure petit però sincer.En: Marta managed a small but genuine smile.Ca: "Jan, sempre seràs el meu germà.En: "Jan, you'll always be my brother.Ca: Potser no ho entenc del tot ara, però tenim temps per això."En: Maybe I don't fully understand now, but we have time for that."Ca: Les ombres van seguir ballant al sostre, però el seu significat havia canviat.En: The shadows continued to dance on the ceiling, but their meaning had changed.Ca: En aquella mateixa sala d'hospital, entre el soroll llunyà de passes i murmuris, es va començar a construir un nou vincle.En: In that very hospital room, amid the distant sound of footsteps and murmurs, a new bond began to form.Ca: Jan va somriure també, sentint l'abraçada invisible del perdó i la possibilitat de reparació.En: Jan smiled too, feeling the invisible embrace of forgiveness and the possibility of healing.Ca: Així, en el cor de Sant Pau, amb les ombres com a únics testimonis, el silenci es va tornar còmplice d'un nou començament entre germans.En: Thus, in the heart of Sant Pau, with the shadows as the only witnesses, silence became an accomplice to a new beginning between siblings.

Send us Fan MailRHOA Scotland Showdown: Family Secrets Destroy a Lifelong FriendshipRHOA- S17 E14- Highland Games and Explosive ClaimsThe Scotland trip begins with the ladies embracing local traditions during the Highland Games, where Team Sturdy wins the tug-of-war, and everyone samples haggis while trying to move past the previous night's tension. Pinky opens up about the pressures of running her multimillion-dollar business, Drew shares intimate details about recovering from her hysterectomy, and Kelli reveals she's found happiness in a new relationship. Later, the women shop for traditional tartan sashes ahead of Phaedra's birthday dinner, and the mood seems hopeful as Porsha and Kelli appear to have reached common ground.That peace doesn't last. At dinner, Shamea confronts Porsha over their broken friendship, Dennis' comments about Pilar, and feeling shut out of Porsha's life. What starts as a conversation quickly spirals into explosive accusations about each other's mothers, leaving the entire table in shock. Shamea claims she's been protecting Porsha for years, while Porsha insists Shamea deliberately tried to provoke her. The argument ends with Shamea in tears, Porsha declaring their friendship over for good, and the rest of the women questioning whether the decades-long bond can ever be repaired. Summary – RHOA Season 17, Episode 15: "Waking the Dead"The fallout from the explosive dinner in Scotland continues as Shamea leaves the restaurant devastated, realizing her friendship with Porsha is likely beyond repair. Later that night, the women head to a nightclub to celebrate Phaedra's birthday, where K. Michelle serenades her. When Shamea and Kelli arrive, Porsha immediately leaves with several of the ladies, leaving the group divided once again.The next morning, the cast splits into two groups. Phaedra, Cynthia, Kelli, and Shamea visit the famous Greyfriars Kirkyard cemetery, where they learn about its connection to Harry Potter and its eerie history, including a real-life exorcism. Meanwhile, Porsha, Angela, Drew, Pinky, and K. Michelle skip the cemetery for what turns out to be a very underwhelming spa experience.As tensions linger, Porsha calls her sister Lauren to recount Shamea's shocking allegation about their parents. Lauren encourages her not to react emotionally, while Shamea apologizes to Cynthia and the others for how the previous night's argument escalated, insisting she never intended things to go so far.Back at the castle, the ladies secretly prepare a surprise birthday party for Phaedra in a hidden room next to her bedroom. During dinner, emotions shift from celebration to vulnerability as K. Michelle opens up about surviving 13 surgeries and Drew becomes emotional discussing the guilt she feels for not visiting her late father's gravesite in two years. Porsha comforts Drew as the group reflects on grief and healing.Shamea once again apologizes for the previous night's confrontation, but K. Michelle questions why she chose to bring up such deeply personal family accusations. Pinky jokes that Shamea has become "a professional apologizer," while Kelli encourages her to stop apologizing for everything.The episode ends with teasers for more drama ahead. K. Michelle confronts Shamea over how low the argument with Porsha became, Porsha and boyfriend Mike discuss the future of their relationship, and Shamea meets with Dennis, claiming rumors are spreading that they had a sexual relationship—potentially validating Angela's earlier accusations and setting up another explosive conflict. ✳️Follow us on Social Media✳️ ============================================

This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel heads to New Orleans for Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh, the sequel that expands the mythology of one of horror's most iconic urban legends.Trading Chicago's Cabrini-Green for Mardi Gras and Southern Gothic vibes, Candyman 2 dives deeper into Daniel Robitaille's tragic past, family lineage, and the curse that continues to haunt generations.We dig into everything, including:

In the play "The Loved Ones," a woman prepares to scatter her son's ashes alongside his widow at a remote farmhouse in Ireland. And then there's a knock on the door. Actors Maryann Plunkett, Alana Raquel Bowers and Clare O'Malley star, and they join us in person to discuss the play, which is playing at the Irish Repertory Theater through August 2.

Family history is often where the heroic version of the past falls apart.We like to imagine our ancestors standing on the right side of history. Someone in the GPO in 1916 or in the IRA in 1920. We like to think they made brave choice when it mattered. But most people were not heroes, revolutionaries or figures from the history books. They were ordinary people trying to survive events they could not control.That is what makes family secrets so revealing. They show us how people actually lived through history, without knowing how things would turn out. They hedged their bets, backed the side they thought would win, followed the crowd, made compromises and sometimes buried the truth when it all looked very different in hindsight.In this episode, I look at the murkier side of family history through my own ancestors. Across five generations, the stories include a shotgun marriage, someone being sent to prison during the Great Famine for stealing food, support for the local landlord and opposition to Irish independence, followed by a very convenient change of heart when independence became unavoidable.These are not exactly stories that have aged well, but they are probably far more common than we like to admit.
