Just when you think you know everything there is to know about the White House, here comes Corey Mead and his book The Hidden History of the White House: Power Struggles, Scandals, and Defining Moments, which came out June 4. This book is presented by the hit podcast “American History Tellers,” and it reveals behind-the-scenes stories of some of the most dramatic events in American history, told from right inside the White House where they happened. Talk about “if these walls could talk”—the White House has been the soundstage for some of the most climactic moments in American history, and its walls have witnessed history-making decisions, power struggles, scandals, and so many stories from the First Family, their guests, and the staff at the White House. Just some of the topics delved into were Andrew Jackson's disastrous inauguration; Woodrow Wilson's stroke and his second wife Edith's basically shadow presidency as his administration came to a close; Dolley Madison's courageous act when the White House was set aflame in 1814; when U.K. Prime Minister Winston Churchill visited the White House and plotted, with FDR, plans to defeat Germany; and the decision by Barack Obama to green-light the Navy SEAL raid that ultimately killed Osama bin Ladin. I talk about this with Corey, but maybe one of the most fascinating parts to me about the book—and I wasn't expecting this—was the actual construction of the White House itself and its subsequent renovations, especially the 1948 Truman renovation, which we talk about on the show today. The book is broken into three parts: part one, Laying the Foundation; part two, The People's House; and part three, Halls of Power—each as fascinating as the last. As Corey writes in the book, “Every corner and hallway has a tale to tell,” and there's so many of those tales in this book. We have Corey Mead on the show today, the author of this great book and also an associate professor of English at Baruch College, City University of New York. In addition to this book, Corey is also the author of Angelic Music: The Story of Benjamin Franklin's Glass Armonica and War Play: Video Games and the Future of Armed Conflict. You can also find his work everywhere from Time to Salon, The Daily Beast, and numerous literary journals, and I know you'll enjoy this conversation.   P.S.: The Rebecca Boggs Roberts episode we mention in this conversation about First Lady Edith Wilson is from season 7, episode 6!   The Hidden History of the White House: Power Struggles, Scandals, and Defining Moments by Corey Mead

At the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California visitors can see a bright yellow car with a unique design, built with promises that seemed too good to be true. At the Bakken Museum in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a glass and wooden musical instrument tells the tale of miraculous medical cures that came under the scrutiny of one of America's most famous statesmen. And at the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC, a small piece of paper tells an epic story of espionage, secrecy, and a very unlikely spy during a trying conflict. Hosted on Acast.

Only Benjamin Franklin would listen to a musician playing wine glasses and think "I bet I could use technology to make this easier."

In May of 1761, Benjamin Franklin was in Cambridge, England, and he heard a man play a performance on musical glasses. They were crystal wine glasses filled with different levels of water, and when the performer rubbed the edges of the glasses, they produced different notes.

Benjamin Franklin: Prolific writer. Founding Father. Inventor. Creator of a killer instrument? The Glass Armonica, more or less a series of singing water bowls with haunting melody, became a popular instrument for a very short amount of time. But by 1830,  it ceased being played entirely. Was it because its strange harmonics were making people ill? Or maybe it was just very fragile and hard to carry around? Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/

From the wellsprings of psychology and psychiatry: Tales of sex, scandal, and madness.

Mesmerism has had an outsize influence on medicine, despite the rapid rise and fall of its inventor Dr. Franz Mesmer and hostility from the medical establishment. This curious story covers the healing powers of magnets, secret societies in pre-Revolutionary France, fundamental questions about what makes someone alive, and one of the most fascinating medical investigations in history led by a dream team of Benjamin Franklin, Lavoisier, and Guillotine on behalf of King Louis XVI.

Moderated by Michael Coleman, SoundWorks Collection Two-time Emmy-nominated composer Nathan Barr has received critical acclaim for his unmatched versatility, incorporating eclectic instruments from musical cultures across the world. Nathan recently completed construction on his new 8,000 square foot personal studio in Tarzana, California. The studio, named Bandrika, houses the original Wurlitzer pipe organ that was installed at Fox studios in 1928. With 1,500 pipes, its music can be heard in iconic films including "Journey to the Center of the Earth," "The Sound of Music," and "Patton." Nathan recently used the Wurlitzer to score Eli Roth’s upcoming adventure film "The House with a Clock in Its Walls" starring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett. The film's release on September 21 marked the Wurlitzer's 21st-century debut for movie audiences. Additionally, Nathan recently completed the score for the gritty dystopian action thriller, “The Domestics,” starring Kate Bosworth and Tyler Hoechlin, coming to theaters June 28. He is currently scoring season two of AMC’s multi-generational western epic, “The Son,” starring Pierce Brosnan and later in 2018, Nathan will score Amazon’s upcoming fantasy, period drama, “Carnival Row,” starring Orlando Bloom and produced by Guillermo del Toro. He also scored Columbia Pictures’ sci-fi drama, “Flatliners,” starring Keifer Sutherland, Ellen Page and Nina Dobrev, and both seasons of Amazon’s acclaimed con man drama “Sneaky Pete,” starring Giovanni Ribisi. Nathan’s hallmark adaptability has led him to scoring an eclectic roster of some of television’s biggest shows. He scored all six seasons of FX’s “The Americans,” starring Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, which earned him an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music in 2013. Nathan’s music can also be heard on all seven seasons of HBO’s Emmy-winning and fan-favorite series, “True Blood” and Netflix’s “Hemlock Grove,” for which Nathan earned his second 2013 Emmy nomination for the main title theme. With two Emmy nominations for both “The Americans” and “Hemlock Grove,” Nathan has the distinction of being the first composer to have two nominations in the Main Title category in the same year. Alongside his extensive career in television, Nathan has a long record of scoring successful films, as he approaches his fortieth feature. A frequent collaborator with gore-horror master Eli Roth, Nathan scored Roth’s early cult-classics “Cabin Fever” and “Hostel.” Some of Nathan’s other feature scores include Jason Blum’s box office hit thriller “The Boy Next Door,” starring Jennifer Lopez, Warner Bros.’ “The Dukes of Hazard,” Lionsgate’s “The Last Exorcism,” and Stephen Moyer’s “The Parting Glass,” starring Anna Paquin. Nathan began studying music in Tokyo, Japan at four years old. He grew up surrounded by music ranging from Kabuki Theater to the sounds of his mother performing on the koto and piano, and his father playing the banjo, guitar and shakuhachi. In addition to writing scores, he performs many of the instruments heard in his compositions, and is skilled in many styles and genres ranging from orchestral to rock. Nathan is also known for his collection and inclusion of rare and unusual instruments from around the world such as: a human bone trumpet from Tibet, dismantled pianos, a rare Glass Armonica, gourd cellos and many others.

Composer Nathan Barr has received critical acclaim for his unmatched versatility, incorporating eclectic instruments from musical cultures across the world. Nathan recently completed construction on his new 8,000 square foot personal studio in Tarzana, California that can house 50-60 musicians. The studio, Bandrika (named after the fictional country in Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes, which I had forgotten!), houses the original Wurlitzer pipe organ that was installed at Fox studios in 1928 that recently went through a four-year restoration. With 1,500 pipes, able to mirror hundreds of different instruments ("It's like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory for music," he says.), its music can be heard in iconic films including Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Sound of Music, and Patton. Barr and his team are currently compiling a list of composers that have used the organ including Oscar winners John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith and Bernard Herrmann. I chatted with the two-time Emmy-nominated composer about his work on The Americans, how his pianist mother and banjo-playing father introduced him to music in Japan at five years of age and becoming a collector of rare and unusual instruments from around the world such as a human bone trumpet from Tibet, dismantled pianos, a rare Glass Armonica, gourd cellos, many of which you can hear on any number of his original compositions. We also talk about some of his favorite composers and film scores including The Third Man and its classic zither. Since the end of The Americans, Nathan scored the dystopian action thriller, The Domestics, starring Kate Bosworth and Tyler Hoechlin, which hit theaters June 29th and is currently scoring season two of AMC’s multi-generational western epic, The Son, starring Pierce Brosnan. He's also putting the finishing touches on his next collaboration with director Eli Roth, the upcoming adventure film The House with a Clock in Its Walls (see trailer below) starring Jack Black and two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett.  The film's release on September 21 will mark the Wurlitzer's 21st-century debut for movie audiences. 2019 will find Nathan scoring Amazon’s upcoming fantasy, period drama, Carnival Row, starring Orlando Bloom and produced by Guillermo del Toro. Nathan Barr currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

Benjamin Franklin has been called the first American. We might also call him the last American Englishman, because he was one of the last of our Founders to abandon his hope that, somehow, America and England could patch up their differences and avoid armed conflict. Indeed, our Founding Grandfather spent sixteen years in London just prior to the American Revolution, trying to keep the American colonies British. Stewart recently travelled to London, where he visited the house where Franklin lived, near Trafalgar Square. He spoke with the staff at what is now called the Benjamin Franklin House, who told him the whole story. They even played a musical instrument that Franklin invented while he was there, the Glass Armonica.
