Sometime in the 1850s or '60s, at a terrible moment in U.S. history, a strange man seemed to sprout, out of nowhere, into the rocky landscape between New York City and Hartford, Conn. The word “strange” hardly captures his strangeness. He was rough and hairy, and he wandered around on back roads, sleeping in caves. Above all, he refused to explain himself. As one newspaper put it: “He is a mystery, and a very greasy and ill-odored one.” Other papers referred to him as “the animal” or (just throwing up their hands) “this uncouth and unkempt ‘What is it?'”But the strangest thing about the stranger was his suit.

In this episode, we'll uncover the truly impressive accomplishments of Benjamin Banneker, a free Black man living in rural Maryland in the 1700s. Banneker was a self taught astronomer who helped to lay out the boundary for the construction of Washington DC. He also built his own working clock and wrote and published almanacs for the years 1792 to 1797. He also called Thomas Jefferson out for being a hypocrite, my personal favorite accomplishment. But, despite all of the truly impressive things he really did, he's mostly remembered for things he did not do: planning the city of Washington DC, constructing the first clock in America, writing the first almanac in America, etc. Join me to examine how and why his already impressive enough real life accomplishments have been embellished by historical telephone.

What goes into the making of a folk hero? There has been a lot of discussion about the killing of a United Healthcare CEO and Luigi Mangione. There is a history of making figures like this into folk heroes through music. Jesse James is a great example. Woody Guthrie and other sang about him. And now the same thing is happening with Luigi. Today we take a look at this phenomenon and what goes into the making of a folk hero.

Was this a righteous stand against a broken system or just a narcissist seeking attention in the most twisted way possible? When UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down on a Manhattan street, the shocking act left a trail of breadcrumbs—or perhaps entire loaves—that pointed straight to Luigi Mangione. From a manifesto inscribed on shell casings to a social media frenzy that turned him into a cult figure for some, Mangione's actions are as baffling as they are horrifying. Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and Behavioral Analysis expert, helps peel back the layers of this alleged "social justice warrior" to reveal a different story entirely. Privileged upbringing? Check. Narcissistic tendencies? Double check. The data suggests this wasn't about justice at all—it was about him. But with a highly skilled defense team preparing to spin a tale for the jury, what will resonate more: the evidence or the emotions?

After a five-day manhunt, Luigi Mangione, a twenty-six-year-old Ivy League graduate, was arrested and charged on Monday with the widely publicized assassination of the UnitedHealthcare C.E.O. Brian Thompson. The case seized public imagination, and there has been a torrent of commentary celebrating Mangione and denigrating Thompson, including fan edits of the alleged shooter to posts sharing personal anecdotes of denied health-insurance claims. “Mangione is going to be seen as a folk hero across the aisle,” the New Yorker staff writer Jia Tolentino tells Tyler Foggatt.

He doesn't hold the same name recognition as George Washington, Ulysses Grant, or George Patton but he had multiple remarkable military successes. He organized the effort at Bunker Hill, was Washington's military “go-to fixer” during the Revolutionary War, and defended the Hudson River by having heavy chains stretched across the river to successfully keep British ships from navigating along it. There are so many incredible stories about his legendary bravery, leadership, and accomplishments. You'll hear about them from the author of a new book on Putnam, Michael Westerfield.

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS - Harlingen resident Federico “Fred” Garza delivered a handwritten note to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador when he met him in Matamoros last Monday. Asked what he wrote in his note, Garza said: “I basically just thanked him for having made all the effort to finally recognize Catarino Garza, my great-great-uncle. I gave him a little note thanking him and telling him, it has taken 131 years but thanks to you, it happened.” President López Obrador, otherwise known as AMLO, was in Matamoros to commemorate one of his heroes, Catarino Erasmo Garza Rodriguez, a Mexican revolutionary who fought to overthrow Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz. AMLO unveiled a monument to Catarino Garza, and also had the remains of Garza's body returned to Mexico from Panama. Catarino Garza, a former Mexican Consul in Missouri, was born in Matamoros on Nov. 25, 1859. He died in combat in Panama on March 8, 1895. He lived for a time in Brownsville. He is described in Wikipedia as a journalist, folk hero and revolutionary.  Catarino Garza was Fred Garza's great-great-uncle. Catarino Garza's brother, Encarnación, was Fred Garza's great-grandfather. Catarino and Encarnación Garza fought together against Díaz's army and the Texas Rangers. The Rio Grande Guardian secured an exclusive audio interview with Fred Garza following the unveiling of a plaque for Catarino Garza last Wednesday at the old city cemetery in Brownsville. Mexico's Consul in Brownsville, Judith Arrieta Munguia, gave the keynote speech at the event. This was immediately followed by the showing of a documentary about Catarino Garza that had been commissioned by the Mexican government. Fred Garza is featured in the documentary at the Harlingen gravesite of his great-grandfather. The documentary was shown at the Brownsville Historical Museum.Editor's Note: Go to the Rio Grande Guardian website to read the full story.Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

On No Tags 25, we meet Jonny Banger: T-shirt hustler, avant-bootlegger, visionary rabble-rouser, DJ battle champ and bossman of the anarchic anti-fashion brand Sports Banger.From a certain angle, it can seem like the clothes are the main event at Sports Banger, from the original Free Tulisa tee and bootlegged NHS logos to wearable inflatables and a Chanel toilet seat headpiece. Naturally, Jonny has been asked a lot of questions in previous interviews about his designs and his philosophical take on bootlegs and infringement. But there's another side to the Banger story that hasn't been excavated: obviously, the music.Flipping through Sports Banger: Lifestyles of the Poor, Rich and Famous, the book that charts the first decade of the project, you can find musical references on almost every page: pilfered record label logos, Skepta in a postie's hi-viz jacket, descriptions of his studio's fine-tuned sound systems, playlists of tunes that inspired the Sports Banger runway shows, and even allusions to Jonny's previous life in the UK rap scene.We invited Jonny to go deep into the musical side of his story, from tape packs to free parties to the “shit mix jar” that collected fines in the first Sports Banger studio. He told us about his teenage years as a scratch DJ, his previous life as a club booker on Brick Lane, his ravey links with Swamp 81, School Records, Shangri-La and his own Heras label, and how he finally fell in love with free parties. And, most exciting for our resident KLF dweeb, he gave us a hint of what to expect from Sports Banger's forthcoming collaboration with K2 on the People's Pyramid.It's been a wild ride, and he's got the stories to prove it.If you enjoyed this big fat interview episode of No Tags then we implore you to press all the buttons and like, rate, review or subscribe on your podcast app of choice.
