Go as a River by Shelly Read  This begins in the late 1940's, set in Colorado in a town called Iola, in Colorado, where young Torie lives with three very difficult men (her father, brother and uncle who was disabled in WW2) after her mother was killed in a car accident when she was 12. It was immediately assumed that she'd take over all the household duties and she spends the next several years cooking and cleaning and helping out on the family's peach farm. One day, when taking a load of peaches into the town she has a chance encounter with a Native American man which changes her life irrevocably - with bigotry being alive and well in that era, her options are few and far between. It's the first novel by this author and is being compared a lot to Where the Crawdads Sing.     Wanderlust by Reid Mitenbuler  Extraordinary nonfiction about a larger than life great bear of a man named Peter Freuchen who was a Dane who spent 20 years living in Greenland and embarked on a series of Polar explorations – getting into some sticky situations from which you can scarcely believe he managed to extricate himself. With an extraordinary appetite for life and an eclectic CV to go with it, he explored the Canadian wilderness, spent time in Hollywood as a screenwriter and producer, won a major game show, met the President and married several times. I've attached the front cover image of the book as it's so remarkable - the photo was taken by the legendary photographer Irving Penn of Freuchen and his third wife and sums him up quite well I think! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've often internalised a particularly destructive story about what it is to be human - that we're inherently selfish, grasping, and inevitably violent to one another. And that because of that we ought to live very warily indeed. But, as the writer David Graeber reminds us, the 'common-sense' story of what it is to be human is just one story out of many. And we are filled with many different kinds of qualities and capacities, some of which we choose to prioritise over others - and some of which we've practiced more than others. But which qualities we bring to the world is a choice - the unique gift of being sentient, choosing humans. And the real question is which qualities we choose take as the foundation of our humanity, and therefore, make the basis of our civilisation. This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

Here's our source for this week: “Freuchen tells how one day, after coming home hungry from an unsuccessful walrus-hunting expedition, he found one of the successful hunters dropping off several hundred pounds of meat. He thanked him profusely. The man objected indignantly: ‘Up in our country we are human!' said the hunter. ‘And since we are human we help each other. We don't like to hear anybody say thanks for that. What I get today you may get tomorrow. Up here we say that by gifts one makes slaves and by whips one makes dogs.' … The refusal to calculate credits and debits can be found throughout the anthropological literature on egalitarian hunting societies. Rather than seeing himself as human because he could make economic calculations, the hunter insisted that being truly human meant refusing to make such calculations, refusing to measure or remember who had given what to whom, for the precise reason that doing so would inevitably create a world where we began “comparing power with power, measuring, calculating” and reducing each other to slaves or dogs through debt. It's not that he, like untold millions of similar egalitarian spirits throughout history, was unaware that humans have a propensity to calculate. If he wasn't aware of it, he could not have said what he did. Of course we have a propensity to calculate. We have all sorts of propensities. In any real-life situation, we have propensities that drive us in several different contradictory directions simultaneously. No one is more real than any other. The real question is which we take as the foundation of our humanity, and therefore, make the basis of our civilization.” ― David Graeber, Debt: The First 5,000 Years Photo by Darrell Chaddock on Unsplash

What would you be willing to do to cement your legacy in music history?Before we look into that question, Bailey is going to tell us about a tree. That has more legal sovereignty than a lot of Americans do.After that, Ben introduces us to a Danish explorer (among other things) Peter Freuchen. His entire life could be a standalone episode of Weird Shit, so Ben picked his favorite anecdote about the time Freuchen survived an avalanche because of a bowel movement.And lastly, Ian keeps it in Scandinavia but fast forwards to the early 90s, when the infamous genre of black metal formed, and then escalated.

La historia de la exploración nos ha dejado grandes aventuras y relatos apasionantes. Historias que podemos leer en multitud de libros, como los que publica Interfolio. De ello hablamos con sus responsables, Ángel Sanz y Teresa García, que llegan cargados de vivencias y anécdotas de los grandes exploradores de la historia en esta charla que mantenemos con ellos. Podcast Oxígeno, con Elena Moro y Jorge Jiménez Ríos.

Today on the pod, we'll be talking about non other than the enigmatic Peter Freuchen. What's that you say? Never heard of him? We hadn't either.  Listen along with us as we cover his colorful life and just a handful of the crazier stories. Like the time he escaped the Nazis, or  starred in an Oscar-winning movie, or perhaps the 30 books he wrote, and of course, don't forget about the poop knife. Peter Freuchen (Pronounced FROY-kn).  Peter Freuchen was born in Denmark in 1886. His father wanted him to have a stable career so he sent him to enroll in the University of Copenhagen. Freuchen soon dropped out of school so that he could sign on to any polar expedition that would have him. In 1906, Freuchen (age 20) and Knud Rasmussen sailed from Denmark as far north as they could and then they continued with dogsleds for over 600 miles. They build relationships with the Inuits and learned how to hunt and speak their language. Fruechen even made himself a coat out of a polar bear he killed. He was 6'7” and weighed over 300 pounds.In 1910 Freuchen(24) and Rasmussen went on to establish and trading post in Cape York, Greenland that they named “Thule”(thoo-lay). Freuchen lived in Thule for the next ten years and inadvertently became the world expert on the native peoples of Greenland. They used Thule as a base for seven more expeditions between 1912 and 1933. During one of these expeditions Freuchen was testing a theory that there was a channel that divided Greenland and Peary Land (a peninsula in NE Greenland) which was a plus mile trip across Greenland. During their journey, the crew was hit by a blizzard and Freuchen found himself entombed in ice after taking refuge under a dogsled. Since he had no tools on himself, he ended up fashioning a shiv out of his poop. Once it froze, he used it to hack his way out after 30 hours of being trapped. He married an Inuit woman in 1911 named Navarana Mequapaluk and had a son and a daughter with her. Freuchen and Mequapaluk went on many expeditions together. She later died from the Spanish flu in 1921.  After his first wife died, Freuchen returned to Denmark and began his writing career, writing everything from books on Inuit culture to manly fiction stories and arctic exploration. One of which, Eskimo, a fictional story about an Inuit warrior living in the arctic, was turned into a movie in 1933, and Freuchen played the part of the villain. Even though he lived predominantly in Denmark during this point in his life, he still visited Greenland from time to time and continued on arctic expeditions as well as trips to Siberia and South Africa. In Denmark he became a regular contributor to a political newspaper.  During the second World War, he was such a vocal part of the Danish resistance that Hitler put out a hit on him. Apparently he had no qualms about announcing his jewish heritage any time he heard someone making antisemitic comments. He would walk over in his 330 pounds and over 6'7” and say, “I'm Jewish, what are you going to do about it?”. He was also known for hiding refugees and working to subvert Nazi operations in Denmark. After he was captured and sentenced, this giant with a peg-leg managed to escape to Sweden in 1945. That same year (1945) Freuchen  remarried a Danish fashion illustrator named Dagmar Cohn. Together they moved to the US where he worked on writing his many books, and she worked for Vogue. In 1956, the year before he died at age 70, Freuchen went on the American game show, The $64,000 question and became the 5th person in the course of the show to win the $64k. He died of a heart attack in 1957, just three days after finishing his final book, “Book of the Seven Seas”. His ashes are scattered in Greenland. thestoriesweforgot.comSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TSWFpod)

Store Peter, Peter Løgn eller bare Peter Freuchen. Kært barn har mange navne. Peter Freuchen var en alsidig mand, som levede et liv fyldt med eventyr og kuriositet. Han er sandsynligvis mest kendt for sine ekspeditioner i Grønland, hvor han ofte agerede Knud Rasmussens højre hånd, samt sin tid som guvernør i Thule. Peter Freuchen var dog meget mere end det, da han også på forskellige tidspunkter i hans liv forsøgte sig som journalist, spillefilmskonsulent, landmand, modstandsmand og skuespiller. Hans mest prominente eftermæle er dog stadig de mange etnologiske og sociologiske optegnelser, han lavede af inuitterne, mens han var guvernør i Thule. Mange af dem bruges stadig den dag i dag.

Prologue:This is episode three of Thicker Than Blood History, our subject is like no other. In the immortal words of actor Sam Elliot… sometimes there’s a man... Late in the 1930’s there was a man. A 50 year old man who, like so many others, walked the streets of New York City on various errands of business. But this man in particular stood out for a few notable reasons. For starters, he was around 7 feet tall and weighed about 300 pounds. He sported a grizzly red beard and walked with a slight limp, because concealed by his trousers, was a wooden leg. But perhaps what stood out the most about this man was that in the midst of the inexorable New York city blizzards… this man wore no coat, no hat, and yet seemed quite comfortable in the frigged temperatures. One woman whom he met told him what a wonderful beard he had. He’s said, in a thick Danish accent, “Oh you like it?” And promptly cut off a piece of it and gave it to her as a keepsake.Sometimes there’s a man… this man’s name was Peter Freuchen… and he is epic.History is full of stories about people who encounter the worst situations, starvation, war, disease, genocide… the literal four horsemen of the apocalypse… right? And most people caught in these moments are often like lemmings in an old game of slave and slave-master. Some die, some live… some just barely. But sometimes there’s a man who dies hard. Like something out of a movie, we occasionally get these people in history who, in the face of outrageous odds live to make the sequel.Some people just have it… whatever it is. They seem invincible, immovable… imposing. I’m reminded of General George Washington. There are first-hand accounts of Washington standing atop a rampart with musket balls whizzing by… some grazing his coat, and yet there he stands… undaunted, leaving his men awestruck. Whatever you want to call that quality… Peter Freuchen’s got it.He’s something of a cross between Indiana Jones and Yukon Cornelius. Like a true Hollywood-esq hero, his countless near-death experiences will keep us on the edge of our seats. But deep down, we all know that somehow, he’ll survive. Somehow he’ll escape… he’ll outsmart the Nazi’s, get the girl, and live to make the sequel.If you google “Peter Fruechen” you’ll come across dozens of short articles, quick bullet points of his accomplishments, and without a doubt the amazing photograph of him donning a polar bear coat with a beautiful woman sitting at his side. It’s that image that first captured my attention.He’s proclaimed as “the greatest badass in history”, or “the man who saved his life with a poop chisel”, or a “hunter of Nazi’s”, or a “tower of testosterone”, and “The real most interesting man in the world”. You’ll see accomplishments such as, Oscar winner, polar bear and wolf killer, greatest friend of the Eskimo, a chivalric Viking who saved a damsel from crocodiles, a heroic explorer who saved a damsel from a sinking ship, a friend of kings, and presidents… an enemy of tyrants. While all those things are true, they have created something of a myth more than a man. For this podcast episode I use much of Peter’s own written word, and by his words, I think you’ll find a most profound human beneath the cheap layers of internet fame. Today, you’ll learn the true story of the Vagrant Viking.Body:Lorenz Peter Elfred Freuchen was born the son to a Danish-Jewish businessman on February 2nd, 1886 in the Danish town of Nykøbing Falster. I’m sure I butchered that pronunciation, but that’s probably going to happen a few more times, so I won’t dwell on it. My apologies to any Danes who might be listening.As a child he often skipped school to spend time seaside listening to the tales and lore of the sailors. Freuchen himself recounted his childhood habit later in his book Arctic Adventures, quote:As a child my inclinations were to follow the sea. My&

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we cover the life of one of the world's greatest explorers, survivalists, Nazi Hunters, movie producers, and authors of the past hundred years: Peter Freuchen. Never heard of him? Well, get ready for a story full of jail breaks, fecal daggers, and peg legs! Peter Freuchen was born in 1886 to a businessman who drove him hard to excel at school. Young Peter, however, had different plans. He dropped out of a prestigious medical school and took all the money he had to go on a truly epic adventure. He met up with his friend Knud Rasmussen and took a ship that sailed as far north from Denmark as any ship would travel. Then, they took sled teams and pushed 600 miles deeper north. There, they discovered the Inuit people, and their lives changed forever. They were the first white men to learn their language and embrace their culture. They learned how to fish, hunt, and track in the extreme North. While there, Freuchen found an Inuit bride and killed polar bear. They established a base camp called Thule Trading Station, and from there launched several death defying expeditions. On the third such expedition, Freuchen was buried in an ice cave and had to dig out with a dagger made of his own poo and cut all of his toes off with a pair of clamps and a hammer. After crawling back to base camp, he had to have his frost bitten foot replaced with a peg. And he kept right on adventuring. After he lost his wife to the Spanish flu, he traveled and lectured and even made Oscar winning film adaptions of some of his memoirs. He got all political and ran a magazine in Denmark and ultimately found himself there when the Nazis invaded. He became a key figure in the resistance and talked smack any time a Nazi said anything bad about Jews, and Hitler himself ordered his capture. He was captured and sent to a camp in France to be executed, but he escaped. Did I mention the peg leg? Oh, and while he was escaping he met a fashionista from New York who worked for Vogue magazine and helped her escape as well, marrying her and moving to New York. Like you do. So, if you want to hear about the baddest of the bad, a bulletproof adventurer the likes of which even Steve Irwin would have marveled at, this is the episode for you.

Lorenz Peter Elfred Freuchen (February 2, 1886 – September 2, 1957) was a Danish explorer, author, journalist and anthropologist. He is notable for his role in Arctic exploration, especially the Thule Expeditions. If there was anyone who deserves the crown of the “Biggest Badass in the World,” it’s this guy. Peter Freuchen was a legend. In his lifetime, this Danish explorer took on polar bears and wolves, wore their fur like a viking hero, wrote and starred in an Oscar winning movie, won a game-show, amputated his own toes and became a millionaire.  Patreon: Carousel Sniper Victim Shop here: www.carouselsnipervictim.com/shop -LIKE-SHARE-COMMENT-TAG-REVIEW- Find more at www.carouselsnipervictim.com Produced by Shaun Jeffery Additional production by Leigh Massoni massoni.sound.design@gmail.com Tunes by- DMX- X Gon Give It To Ya Follow us on all your finest social tubes: @CarouselSniperVictim @DeadGlassDesign Facebook, Instagram, Twitter "Canon in D major/ lost time/ stages of grief" By Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ sources/ further reading: Vagrant Viking, My life and Adventures by Peter Freuchen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Freuchen#cite_note-13 http://thechive.com/2018/03/28/peter-freuchen-is-the-actual-most-interesting-man-in-the-world-15-photos/ http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,863290,00.html    

Devin takes on the historian hat this week to talk about BAMF Lorenz Peter Elfred Freuchen and his poop shiv.

In this episode, I start out with an invaluable writing tip for long works. While writing the first draft, you don't want to stop for research and such. You can use Find and Replace to locate bookmarked spots where work is needed. You can put the word BOOKMARK or something of your own choosing. You can also do RESEARCH, TIMELINE, and others as needed. It's crazy what authors Google search when writing a book. "Erase my search history if I die" is a meme. If you have any questions about this, drop me a line. Next, I talk about how people who text you in error don't believe you when you say they have the wrong number. I give a couple anecdotes of this happening to me. It's very frustrating. I live in cocaine country, and I thought someone was trying to get hold of their dealer, but they really wanted the Avon lady! I watched the Grammy's for the first time in decades. There was no Gaga or Kanye, thank God. There was Katy Perry and T-Swift, though. Katy Perry had 226 cliches on her last album. Wow. No wonder she sounds generic. That fact was from Gawker. Now everybody lip syncs, but they are sneaky because they record new "live" versions for them to lip sync to so it sounds live. Some of them that actually do sing use a prerecorded tape to sing along with. Willie Nelson and Kristofferson really sang, and their voices were stronger than Pharell's. I read "Call of the Wild" by Jack London. I decided to just go through the Wiki page because it was full of interesting information. Sorry to use the crutch, but that's what they do on talk radio, right? I did read the book, though. It came out as serialized fiction in 1903. I think writing it like that might make them pack it full of things that happen. The book starts out with a dog named Buck in California. The Klondike Gold Rush is going on and sled dogs are in demand. Buck gets stolen by the gardener's assistant. "Atavistic" comes up a lot and it means returning to something primal inside. Hunter Thompson uses that word a lot. Buck turns into a killing machine by the end of the book. I interrupt with a discussion of how cold it is here in Northern Mexico/Southern Texas. Buck gets shipped to Seattle in a crate, then gets beaten with a club by a man in a red sweater. He learns 'the law of the club'. Buck is a huge dog like Cujo. Buck gets sold to two French-Canadians and they take him to the Klondike. Buck enters a pack society of sled dogs. There is a leader named Spitz, and Buck eventually defeats him and the pack rips him apart. It's a brutal book. I liked the writing style. It's formal, but simple. The descriptions of instinct were very good. The whole pack gets sold to haul mail to mining camps. Buck gets stronger. Then they get sold to a trio of idiots who don't know what they are doing. They are just there for the gold rush. Buck refuses to pull them after a while and a man named John Thornton takes custody of him. The idiots fall into a river and drown with the rest of the pack. Thornton and Buck fall in love with each other. Buck wins a bet for him by pulling a huge sled out of the ice. Buck starts going out on sojourns with a wild wolf and getting really atavistic. One day he comes back to camp and his master has been killed by natives. Buck rips their throats out. He becomes a legend to the natives, called the "Ghost Dog". Jack London was a hobo, which reminded me of a Whitesnake song. Hobo is not a good word to use in a rock song. He got scurvy and his gums swelled up, so he returned to California. He sold his first story to "Cosmo" magazine. "Call of the Wild" was printed in the "Saturday Evening Post". Some people thought London was a dog whisperer, but he wasn't really. The story is an allegory. Next, I talk about Peter Freuchen. He is a giant who looks like Mick Fleetwood. He has a fur coat and a peg leg and is probably the most interesting man in the world. His gal was named Dagmar, which is a great name, and she was pretty interesting, too. She was a margarine heiress. Freuchen did lots of interesting things like fight Nazi's and cut himself out of a snow cave with a feces knife. He even won the $64K question on the early game show. On this day in 1978, Van Halen's first single was released, and it was a high water mark in the history of teenage boys. I talk about how much I love Van Halen and Eddie's 'brown' sound.
