Podcasts about Gloucester

This week we're peeking behind the Patreon wall with one of my favorite Katy's Corner episodes! When Eleanor Cobham, Duchess of Gloucester, was accused of witchcraft in 1441, was she actually casting spells... or simply too close to the English throne at the wrong moment? We follow Eleanor's rise from noblewoman to one of the most powerful women in England, her romance with Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, and the political intrigue that turned astrological predictions into charges of treason and sorcery.

A scrapbook in sound: voices, reflections and field recordings from Three Choirs Festival 2026 in Gloucester — a postcard from two life-enhancing days.

Richard Duke of Gloucester has the crown in his sights. But first, he needs to clear the room.  Allies become enemies. Councillors are arrested. Lord Hastings is dead. And Edward IV's heirs are locked in the Tower of London.  Then Richard needs to sell himself. A preacher declares Edward IV's children illegitimate while Richard positions himself as the antidote to his brother's salacious decadence. Richard's going to be England's pious, orderly, righteous king. Or so he claims.  The heirs locked in the tower slowly slip from public view — and history has never stopped asking about where they went.  – As always, Dan's royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory. It's where you get your bonus episodes, and on this week's episode Dan tries to understand why Elizabeth Woodville handed her son over to Richard III from sanctuary at Westminster Abbey. Plus, learn more about how Richard tried to legitimate his claims to the throne by sullying his deceased brother's reputation.  – A Sony Music Entertainment production.  Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts  To bring your brand to life in this podcast, email podcastadsales@sonymusic.com  Learn more about your ad choices.  Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices  –– Presented by Dan Jones  Producer - Alan Weedon Senior Producer - Dominic Tyerman Junior Producer - Dulcie Whadcock Executive Producer - Louisa Field  Executive Producer - Dan Jones Production Manager - Jen Mistri  Production Coordinator - Eric Ryan  Head of Content - Chris Skinner Learn more about your ad choices.

"Richard III" is a gripping history play that delves into the ruthless ambition of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, as he schemes to seize the throne of England. Set against the backdrop of the Wars of the Roses, the play opens with King Edward IV in power, but Richard's insatiable desire for kingship leads to a bloody and treacherous path. This timeless tale explores themes of power, manipulation, and the moral consequences of ambition, making it a poignant reflection on the darker aspects of human nature. Shakespeare's masterful characterizations and dramatic tension resonate today, reminding us of the lengths individuals will go to achieve their desires, and the chaos that often ensues in the pursuit of power.

Williamsburg, Virginia, is surrounded by more bass fishing opportunities than many Mid-Atlantic anglers realize. In this episode of Fishing the DMV, I sits down with Brain Boog, a local tournament angler and Woods & Waters writer, to discuss largemouth bass, spotted bass, chain pickerel, and bowfin fishing throughout Williamsburg, Newport News, Gloucester, Suffolk, and the greater Hampton Roads region.he  breaks down the lakes he has been fishing through a local electric-only tournament trail, including Waller Mill Reservoir, Diascund Reservoir, Lake Prince, Beaver Dam Reservoir, Chickahominy Lake, and several of the Suffolk water-supply reservoirs. Anglers planning a Virginia bass fishing trip will hear firsthand observations about which fisheries are producing quality fish, which lakes can become difficult under tournament pressure, and how these bodies of water change throughout the summer.A major part of the conversation focuses on Chickahominy Lake, located above the Chickahominy River near Williamsburg. Bryan explains why the lake remains one of his favorite places to fish large wake baits around shallow cover, grass, and warm summer water. The discussion also covers the impressive weights being brought into local Tuesday-night tournaments, the lake's largemouth bass population, and the bowfin that regularly surprise bass anglers.Brain also highlights Harwood's Mill Reservoir as an overlooked destination for anglers searching for quality largemouth bass and trophy-sized chain pickerel near Newport News. Other valuable topics include punching thick vegetation at Newport News Park, targeting offshore structure at Diascund Reservoir, fishing bridge pilings at Lake Prince, and learning how to use forward-facing sonar without allowing electronics to distract from productive fishing.Thomas and Brian also discuss access changes at Little Creek Reservoir and Western Branch Reservoir, the unique bass fishing opportunities around Norfolk and Virginia Beach, and the possibility of a future Virginia state-record largemouth coming from an overlooked lake or private pond. That conversation was inspired by a massive bass caught from the runoff lake beneath the roller coasters at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.In this episode, we cover:Chickahominy Lake summer bass fishing and large wake-bait techniquesHarwood's Mill Reservoir largemouth bass and chain pickerel fishingWaller Mill, Diascund, Lake Prince, and Beaver Dam tournament conditionsPunching grass mats at Newport News ParkForward-facing sonar and the challenges of learning new electronicsLittle Creek and Western Branch Reservoir access updatesOverlooked bass fishing lakes around Williamsburg and Hampton RoadsVirginia's largemouth bass record and hidden trophy fisheriesWhich Williamsburg-area lake are you fishing right now?

We're back in our moment-by-moment timeline of British broadcasting's early days, and it's just after the BBC's first birthday... 16 November 1923: Sheffield 6FL becomes the BBC's first relay station, rebroadcasting programmes from Manchester. But will there be original local content too? What of Sheffield's pre-BBC radio station? And is it coincidence that '6FL' could link to 'Fred Lloyd' - the man who made Sheffield broadcasting possible? Was it not he who marched into BBC Chief Engineer Peter Eckersley's office and said: "Have you heard the wireless in Sheffield? It's like an insurrection in hell!" ...Discover the truths, the maybes, the pioneering moments and the hidden history of this long-ignored station, from our Newspaper Detective Andrew Barker, who I'm convinced knows more than anyone on the planet about the Sheffield relay station 6FL, and what came before it. Plus exclusive rare audio from Harry Lloyd in 1968, talking about how he and his dad began it all. We're so grateful to today's BBC Radio Sheffield and Sheffield City Archives for permission to share this clip, with an insight into not only how Sheffield broadcasting began in 1923, but the first days of local radio when that interview was broadcast on BBC Radio Sheffield, just months into its existence as the second local radio station of the modern era. Thanks to Fred Lloyd, the Sheffield station achieved far more than the history books might let on - bringing the first educational broadcast to schools before the BBC, and the first broadcasting bishop. A few key dates of Fred Lloyd and the Sheffield station's story, thanks to Andrew Barker... 20 Oct 1922: Fred Lloyd becomes President of the Sheffield and District Wireless Society, unusually giving his inaugural speech by radio from his home, to a packed hall of 800 members - facing an empty stage with just a loudspeaker. 31 Dec 1922: The Bishop of Sheffield, the local MP and a local newspaper editor broadcast from Fred Lloyd's home. That's the first bishop on air! 21 March 1923: Britain's first broadcast to schools, three of them in Sheffield, thanks to Fred Lloyd. 12 April 1923: BBC Chief Engineer Peter Eckersley visits Sheffield, and tests are carried out. Will the BBC take it over? (Yes.) The relay idea is born days later. 9 July 1923: Test transmissions begin at the university, again thanks to Fred Lloyd. 14 August 1923: The first attempt at relaying another station. 17 August 1923: Fred Lloyd says he hopes local programming continues, despite the relaying of other stations. Will it? 1 Sept 1923: Local newspapers run the Sheffield station for an evening. 13 Sept 1923: Fred Lloyd gives the experimental station's farewe... oh that would be spoiling it. You'll have to listen. 16 Nov 1923: Sheffield 6FL opens, under the BBC banner. ...So that's where we are in our timeline. Coming up on the podcast: November 1923 continues with transatlantic broadcasting, relays from France, early drama, an upcoming election, and BBC's first Muslim broadcaster.

Edward IV finally has it all. With his enemies vanquished, the Yorkist king can now focus on what really matters to him — pleasure. But, after one fateful fishing trip, he drops dead at 41. The kingdom is now left to his 12-year-old son, Edward V.  It's not like England hasn't seen this before. After all, Henry VI ascended to the throne at nine-months-old. So the realm expects another royal council to steer things on Edward's behalf until he gets older. And there's a long list of nobles who are more than happy to shepherd the young king.  This includes Edward IV's brother, Richard Duke of Gloucester, who has other plans. Diabolical plans that will change the course of Plantagenet — and indeed English history — forever.  – As always, Dan's royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory. It's where you get your bonus episodes, and on this week's episode Dan tells us about why Edward's gluttony was his undoing, and just how much life the Yorkist king packed into his 41 years.

On the evening of August 28, 1991, 23-year-old Anna McGurk left her job at Gloucester City Council after working a little later than usual to make up for a dental appointment earlier that day. She only had a short walk back to her car, which was parked in a council car park beside the River Severn. It was a route she'd taken countless times before, and one that should have ended with her arriving home to her husband. Instead, Anna disappeared without a trace, triggering a murder investigation that would leave the city of Gloucester asking how such a horrific crime could happen in broad daylight.Anna's murder shocked Gloucestershire and exposed serious concerns about safety around Gloucester Docks and Castlemeads car park, where staff had previously raised fears about the isolated location. As detectives hunted for her killer, witnesses came forward describing a suspicious man seen loitering near the riverside in the days before the attack. The investigation would soon uncover a disturbing chain of events that raised difficult questions about policing, the criminal justice system and whether Anna's death could have been prevented.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murder of Anna McGurk. We explore Anna's life, her marriage to childhood sweetheart Brian McGurk, the timeline of her disappearance, the police investigation, the evidence that led detectives to Andrew Patrick Hagans, and the courtroom proceedings that followed. We also look at the lasting impact the case had on Gloucester, the changes made to staff safety after her death, and the parole hearings that continue to attract attention more than three decades later.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

The Backwoods Cryptid Road Trip pulls into Maine, and this stop needs two maps, one for the water and one for the woods. We start on the granite edge of Casco Bay, where lobstermen, ferry crews, and one very unlucky kayaker have reported something long, dark, and fast moving through cold Atlantic water.They call her Cassie, the Casco Bay Sea Serpent, and her paper trail runs deeper than you'd think. We trace New England's sea serpent tradition from John Josselyn's sixteen thirty-nine account at Cape Ann through young Edward Preble chasing a serpent by rowboat in Penobscot Bay during the Revolution, into the famous Gloucester sightings of eighteen seventeen, when the Linnaean Society of New England took sworn depositions from dozens of witnesses and then torched its own credibility with a deformed blacksnake.From there it's old Maine newspaper accounts, Danish dragger captain Ole Mikkelsen's nineteen fifty-eight sighting off Cape Elizabeth, and a run of modern encounters from working boats, including a three-boat sighting on a flat calm August morning that nobody involved ever wanted to talk about again. Then we leave the coast and drive inland, because Maine is the most forested state in the country and the North Woods have their own resident.We dig into Wabanaki traditions of forest giants, the Durham gorilla flap of nineteen seventy-three, and Sasquatch encounters from Aroostook County deer swamps, the Hundred-Mile Wilderness, a log landing north of Jackman, and a frozen pond in the Moosehead country where the snow kept a record two brothers wish it hadn't.As always, the ordinary explanations get first crack, basking sharks and moose and the pattern-hungry human eye, and as always, there's a residue they can't quite eat. The ocean hides one monster and seventeen million acres of trees hide the other, and Maine never asks either of them for proof.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods? We want to hear your story.Email your encounter to brian@paranormalworldproductions.com for a chance to be featured on a future episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories.Backwoods Bigfoot Stories is a paranormal storytelling podcast featuring real Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch sightings, Dogman reports, cryptid experiences, and true scary stories from the backwoods.Follow the show and turn on automatic downloads so you never miss a chilling encounter from the forest.

This is the start of a series into enforcing orders; this part focuses on enforcing financial remedy orders. We are joined by Christopher Stirling (Field Court Chambers) and Kara Swift (Family Law in Partnership) who breathe life into this topic. Chris starts with telling us that recitals that deal with the payment of money are enforceable: Austin v Haynes [2021] EWCA Civ 1919 per Moylan LJ. However, be careful about how you are drafting the recital to make sure that they are not conditional or incapable of definition.   In respect of property adjustment orders, Chris reminds us that they take effect immediately in equity once DA/Final Order is made: Mountenay v Treharne [2003] Ch 135.  He also reminds us of the ability of the Court at the time of the final hearing to provide for deadlines for executing documents in default of which an application can be made ex parte to direct that a conveyancing solicitor or Judge should sign in the place of the defaulting party.  Kara then reminds us that orders for sale pursuant to S.24A of the MCA allows for orders for sale to be made at any time on or after the making of a financial remedy order making it useful standalone relief.  She reminds us that a lump sum is a simple debt.  It doesn't take priority over any other debt, unless it is supported by a default order for sale.  Kara and Chris move on to discuss charging orders.  Note, there are no formal time limits for making charging order – see Lowsley v Forbes [1999] 1 AC 329 – though any interest claimed on sums charged is limited to 6 years – s.24(1) LA 1980 – nor is there need to seek any permission after 6 years like some other forms of execution: see Frankl-Rietti v Cheltenham & Gloucester plc [2011] EWCA Civ 524 per Rimer LJ @ [21] – and once obtained have an indefinite “shelf life” – CA refused to set aside charging order made 16 years previously in Yorkshire Bank Finance v Mulhall [2008] EWCA Civ 1156 They are made via a 2 stage process – interim and final order – interim order usually an ex parte process – though can be made immediately at time of judgment/order – see Mostyn J in Green v Adams [2017] 2 FLR 1413 (though if lump sum may be more practical to make default order for sale). Can get charging order where judgment debtor has some interest in charged asset and it is not necessary to establish the extent of that interest at stage of charging order -  Walton v Alman [2017] 1 FLR 927 .  Kara tells us that 3rd party debt order – interim and final - is a mechanism to secure funds ahead of enforcing the direct payment of them to the applicant by the third party holding the funds. Note, A v Z (No 2) (Interim Third Party Debt Order), where an interim order was made against a party's solicitors' client account.  Enforcing costs orders is like any other lump sum, but it must be liquidated to be enforceable i.e. you need to have agreed the amount or had it assessed after on detailed or summary basis. You do not have to wait for the final order of the divorce.   Periodical payments order can be enforced by an attachment of earnings order.  They can be made as part of the original final order, if someone has been defaulting or diverting income. Generally, there is no provision for interest - TW v TM (Minors). They then talk us through:Warrants of control – the bailiffs/ Enforcement OfficersJudgment summons see Barclay v Barclay [2022] EWHC 2026 (Fam) in respect of the burden of proof;Receivers – as a last resort if there are no other methods and proportionate.   Blight v Brewster Orders – compelling a party to draw from a private pension;Thwaite jurisdiction – the power to vary executory orders where unjust not to do so 

A grieving farmer's seance vow and a healer's vision of buried iron built the world's only school for talking to the dead — and left the town of Whitewater steeped in legends of witches, haunted cemeteries, and things that crawl out of the lake.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/HauntedWhitewaterREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/WD20260626B-HauntedWhitewater-transcript.txtFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Whitewater legend says that the bizarre experiments conducted at the Morris Pratt Institute of Spiritualism in Wisconsin, to communicate with the dead, have left the town cursed by witches and haunted by restless spirits. It's no wonder it has garnered the nickname of “Second Salem.” (Whitewater: The Second Salem) *** The Wild West had many drifters with troubled pasts. One found himself at the heart of one of the most infamous crimes in American history. Ben Kuhl went from horse theft, to stagecoach robbery, to murder – from notoriety to infamy – all in pursuit of elusive riches. Finally arrested and convicted due to a bloody handprint (The Last Stagecoach Robbery) *** Fred West was just a regular boy, or so it seemed. But behind closed doors, in reality, he was becoming evil incarnate. And upon meeting his future wife Rose, it only expanded his predatory predilections. Fred and Rose descended from petty crimes to unspeakable horrors of rape and murder – even of the most young and innocent. From their "House of Horrors" the depths of their depravity was acted out — hidden from site. But as the walls closed in and the truth emerged, the true horror of their crimes was laid bare.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 16, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness travels from a Wisconsin school built to teach the living how to speak with the dead, through the cellar of one of Britain's most notorious murder houses, to the last stagecoach robbery in American history and a gallery of history's most ravenous eaters.It opens in Whitewater, Wisconsin, where farmer Morris Pratt vowed during an 1880s seance to build a temple to the spirit world if he ever grew rich. A trance medium named Mary Hayes-Chynoweth steered him toward a barren tract on Michigan's Upper Peninsula that turned out to sit atop the Gogebic iron range, and the fortune that followed funded the Morris Pratt Institute, the world's only school dedicated to spiritualism, which locals nicknamed the "Spook Temple." Students studied clairvoyance, levitation, and psychic surgery in a three-story building whose white-painted top floor was closed to non-believers, and even agnostic Chicago attorney Clarence Darrow left it admitting he was mystified. The school later relocated to Milwaukee and still operates, but Whitewater kept its reputation, earning the name "Second Salem" for its tales of the axe-murdering witch Mary Worth in Oak Grove Cemetery, the inward-pointing spikes on the Starin Park water tower, the haunted Witches Triangle formed by its three cemeteries, and a tentacled creature said to have overturned a fishing boat on Whitewater Lake in 1923.From there the episode moves to Gloucester, England, and the crimes of Fred and Rose West, who tortured, raped, and murdered young women and girls across roughly two decades. Fred, born in 1941 and shaped in part by head injuries from a teenage motorcycle crash, killed his pregnant lover Anna McFall in 1967 and removed her fingers and toes, a mutilation he repeated on later victims including his first wife Rena Costello and his own daughter Heather. He and Rose buried nine victims beneath 25 Cromwell Street, the address the press called the "House of Horrors," and added Heather to the back garden. Detective Constable Hazel Savage's investigation finally exposed them; Fred hanged himself in his cell on January 1, 1995, and Rose was convicted of ten murders that November and handed a whole life order.Next the show heads to the snowbound mountains around Jarbidge, Nevada, where on December 5, 1916, drifter Ben Kuhl ambushed the Rogerson-Jarbidge mail stage, shot driver Fred Searcy in the back of the head with a .44 revolver, and made off with a mailbag holding four thousand dollars in cash. A stray dog led searchers to the buried money, and Kuhl's ivory-handled pistol marked him as a suspect, but the conviction turned on a bloody palm print found on an envelope from the coach, the first time such forensic evidence sent a man to prison for murder in the United States. Kuhl drew a death sentence later commuted to life, served nearly twenty-eight years, and died of tuberculosis in San Francisco in 1946 without ever revealing where the loot was hidden.The episode closes with a parade of history's most extreme eaters, from Georgian London's Edward Dando, who downed hundreds of oysters at a sitting and walked out without paying until cholera killed him in prison in 1832, to seventeenth-century Kentishman Nicholas Wood, who ate raw sheep wool and horns included. It runs through Roman emperor Vitellius, who vomited between courses to keep feasting and invented a dish of flamingo tongues and lamprey entrails; the corpulent King George IV, lampooned as the "Prince of Whales"; the geologist William Buckland, who tasted moles, panthers, and a preserved fragment of a king's heart; and Elvis Presley and his pound-of-bacon Fool's Gold Sandwich. It ends with the most disturbing case of all, the eighteenth-century Frenchman Tarrare, whose bottomless hunger drove him to eat stones, live animals, and raw offal, and who was expelled from a hospital after he was suspected of devouring a fourteen-month-old child.

GONOMAD TRAVEL PODCAST — SHOW NOTESExploring the Quirky Hammond Castle of Gloucester, MassachusettsOn this episode of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast, contributor Susmita Sengupta takes us to the rugged, wave‑carved coastline of Cape Ann, Massachusetts — home to one of New England's most eccentric landmarks: Hammond Castle.Built between 1926 and 1929 by inventor John Hays Hammond Jr., the castle rises dramatically above the Atlantic, its stone towers and arched windows overlooking the crashing surf. Hammond, known as the Father of Radio Control, held hundreds of patents and transformed his seaside home into both a medieval fantasy and a working laboratory.The drive from Boston to Gloucester is a scenic hour along winding coastal roads, with ocean views that beg for photo stops. Arrive mid‑morning, and head straight to the lookout point — a rocky perch framing the open sea through stone arches.Inside, the castle feels like stepping into another century. Visitors wander beneath Gothic archways, climb narrow towers, and explore rooms filled with Renaissance art and ancient artifacts Hammond collected from Europe.The Great Hall is the showstopper — a cathedral‑like space with a massive fireplace, a stained‑glass window, and Hammond's own pipe organ. From there, the tour leads to the glass‑roofed courtyard, lush with tropical plants and a pool dyed bright green to disguise its nine‑foot depth. Inspired by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, this space blends art, science, and whimsy.The library holds over two thousand books and features the famous Whisper Ceiling, an acoustic marvel that amplifies a whisper at its center while keeping it inaudible elsewhere. Hammond's mischievous streak appears in the Room Without Doors, where seamless wallpaper hides the entrance so well that guests often found themselves trapped until they called for help.In the Inventions Room, exhibits showcase Hammond's pioneering work in radio control, FM broadcasting, and early sound amplification — including his World War I radio‑guided torpedo. His friendships with Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell are chronicled here, revealing the scientific network that shaped his career.After touring the castle, Susmita suggests extending your day trip to nearby Manchester‑by‑the‑Sea, just fifteen minutes away. Relax at Masconomo Park overlooking the harbor, or visit Singing Beach, where the sand hums beneath your feet.End your day at Lobsta Land, a Gloucester favorite for more than thirty years. Enjoy fresh seafood while watching herons and egrets glide across the salt marshes — just remember, they're closed on Mondays.Hammond Castle is more than a museum; it's a glimpse into the mind of a man who fused invention with imagination. Combining its history with the natural beauty of Cape Ann makes for a perfect New England adventure.CALLS TO ACTIONListen to more episodes of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gonomad-travel-podcast/id1525960132 (podcasts.apple.com in Bing) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4xXGq5yRvCNrI6VsgGAaZp (open.spotify.com in Bing)Read more travel stories on GoNOMAD: https://www.gonomad.comFollow GoNOMAD on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gonomadtravel (instagram.com in Bing)Cape Ann, MASusmita Sengupta, an architect by background, from New York City, loves to travel with her family.

Sheila Dillon heads out on the highway to investigate the world of food at motorway service stations. Historically they have been a place viewed as a functional stop-off for a "tea and a pee" and often maligned for the quality of their food. Motorway services enthusiast Dr David Lawrence from Kingston University talks through a short history of the Great British service station from Watford Gap and Newport Pagnell in 1959 through to present day.AA President Edmund King briefs Sheila on how his membership views motorway service food and Robin Markwell reports on the opinions of lorry drivers from Chippenham Pit Stop on the M4 in Wiltshire where more healthy eating options are now appearing on the menu. Dan Sutton from Roadchef - one of the largest motorway service operators - also gives his thoughts on what the British motorist is looking for when wanting to be fed on the motorway and argues that familiarity of brands is key.Sheila takes a trip to Tebay Services on the M6 in Cumbria to understand a different way of providing motorway service food. She meets the Dunnings family who have since opened services at Gloucester, Cairns Lodge in Lanarkshire and will soon open another at Tatton in Cheshire. Their ethos includes an emphasis on locally sourced, homecooked food. Sheila meets with their coffee and bread suppliers as well as touring their farm to understand how service areas might also be an engine for the local economy.Produced by Robin Markwell in Bristol for BBC Audio.

One more gem of a discovery while formulating my Black Madonna Mysterious Soul Companion course on Teachable, was finding a unique modern image of The Black Madonna of Chartres. I was so taken by it, I decided to follow up with the artist, who is a delightful person based in Gloucester, Massachusetts. She has an entire repertoire of Divine Feminine and Goddess images in addition to The Black Madonna, Isis and Makeda - The Queen of Sheba. The interview explores the inspiration and process that Ms Berger goes through where she allows the artistic expression to come forth.Baraka Robin Berger's work can be found through Etsy at Baraka Berger Art www.etsy.com/shop/ArtoftheGoddessShe also has a Facebook page at Baraka Robin Berger Fine Artshttps://www.facebook.com/p/Baraka-Robin-Berger-Fine-Arts-100031786642313/And Instragram at Barakanrobinhttps://www.instagram.com/barakanrobin/To order The Black Madonna Mysterious Soul Companion course on Teachablelivingpharmacy.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-black-madonna-mysterious-soul-companionTo order The Virgin of Guadalupe, Mysterious Messenger of Destiny on Teachablelivingpharmacy.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-virgin-of-guadalupe-mysterious-messenger-of-destiny#Blackmadonna #DivineFeminine #Art #SacredImage #Chartres #Labyrinth

In August 1817, a large serpentine creature was spotted off the coast of Gloucester by dozens, if not hundreds, of residents. Sure you've heard of Bigfoot and Nessie, perhaps even the Chupacabra and the Jersey Devil. But have you heard the famous Gloucester Sea Serpent? YES, the North Shore has its very own Nessie and it is perhaps the most well-documented and most-sighted cryptid of American legends. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they discover the mysteries and the truths about what was seen in Gloucester Harbor over 200 years ago. How big was this thing? How valid were the reports? Did the serpent come to Salem? What exactly was it that visited Gloucester that fateful summer of 1817?

"When I heard the field recording of people milling around Gloucester Cathedral, the choir rehearsing with the organist, I liked to think of the many ghosts that (probably) reside in the cathedral and them weaving in and out of the congregation and choir, possibly into the organ as well, unbeknownst to anyone but themselves. "The organ samples have been retuned/detuned against an waltz time drum beat playing against a common time baseline."Gloucester Cathedral soundscape reimagined by Moray Newlands.

Episode 218:Last time I looked at the first part of ‘King Lear' from the opening scene where Lear makes his disastrous decision to split his kingdom between his children, through to the renowned scene where the ex-king and his fool are caught in a raging storm on the moor and saved only by the loyalty of Kent. On the way I looked at the deliciously evil Edmund, the poor judgement of his father Gloucester, and the scheming of Lear's oldest daughter Goneril. Now I will complete this look at the play and discuss it's place as a very Jacobean play addressing the concerns of its time when King James was working hard at an attempt to unite his disparate kingdom.

Historian Nathen Amin sat down with me at Warwick Words History Festival before his talk on "The year of the 3 kings, 1483" to discuss Edward IV's lack of forward planning, the course of events which brought Edward V to London and into the Tower, and when Nathen thinks Richard, then Duke of Gloucester, decided he should not just act as Regent for his nephew, but take his crown and become king.Useful timestamps in this episode:00:00 - The significance of 1483: Year of the Three Kings00:14 - Edward IV's reign and sudden death at 4000:57 - Edward IV's physical transformation and health neglect01:24 - Succession challenges with young princes02:23 - Rival factions: Woodvilles vs. Richard of Gloucester03:17 - Could Edward IV have prepared better for his death?03:54 - The importance of securing the heir in medieval rulership04:23 - Fears of vulnerability when the king is a child05:24 - The influence of male ambitions after Edward IV's death06:11 - The movement of Edward V and the importance of his return to London06:40 - The importance of the princes' crowning and the rise of Richard07:10 - The political tension with Lord Hastings and the Woodville family07:40 - Richard's diplomatic position and the meeting in Northamptonshire08:08 - Elizabeth Woodville's reaction and her flight into sanctuary09:06 - The decision to move the princes to the Tower09:34 - The arrest of Lord Hastings and the centralization of Richard's power10:32 - Richard's assumption of Lord Protector and consolidating authority11:01 - Elizabeth Woodville's flight and the rising tensions11:31 - The move of the princes into the Tower of London12:28 - The infamous execution of Lord Hastings and Richard's ruthlessness13:28 - Richard's strategic moves and the escalation of violence14:27 - Threats to Richard's power in the North and the Neville lands15:27 - Richard's swift consolidation of power and the downfall of rivals16:26 - The anonymous sermon condemning the princes and Richard's rapid rise17:25 - Richard's strategic decisions and the perception of his ruthlessness18:10 - The debate over the legitimacy of the princes18:49 - Richard's potential motives about the princes' legitimacy and accusations19:19 - The evidence (or lack thereof) around the princes' deaths and legitimacy20:16 - The political context of Richard's usurpation21:12 - The legitimacy of Richard's claim and the legitimacy law21:42 - Richard's legal justifications, including Titulus Regius22:08 - The question of the princes' legitimacy and Richard's evidence22:39 - The political manipulation and timing of Richard's actions23:08 - Richard's rapid moves and the urgency of power consolidation24:21 - The moral and religious conflict faced by Richard24:48 - Richard's faith and the justification of ruthless acts25:17 - The medieval kingship and divine justification for harsh decisions25:46 - Parallels with modern leadership and the justifications for tough choices26:09 - Closing remarks and thanksThank you for listening to this episode, I hope you enjoyed it.

As the first day of the German invasion of Crete drew to a close on May 20th, 1941, neither side held the clear advantage they had hoped for — the Germans had failed to secure their primary objectives, while the British commander General Freyberg struggled with poor communications and an overriding fear of a seaborne invasion that would shape his decisions in the days ahead. This episode examines the Royal Navy's critical role in the battle for Crete, exploring both the strengths and significant weaknesses of Admiral Cunningham's fleet — including the limitations of their anti-aircraft systems against the Luftwaffe — and the aggressive positioning of British naval forces north of the island to intercept German supply convoys. The episode then covers two pivotal naval engagements: the night interception of the 1st Motor Sailing Flotilla by British cruisers and destroyers, which turned back the first German reinforcement convoy with the loss of at least eight vessels and 327 men, and the pursuit of the Sagittario convoy on May 22nd, which drew British ships northward into withering Luftwaffe attack and resulted in the loss of the cruisers Gloucester and Fiji, the Warspite damaged, and over a thousand sailors killed — a day that demonstrated both the courage and the cost of the Royal Navy's commitment to holding Crete.
