New York Times bestselling author Lauren Willig is our guest! Join us to discuss her new novel, The Girl from Greenwich Street. The Girl from Greenwich Street is a gripping historical thriller based on a real 1799 murder case that united bitter political rivals Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr in an explosive courtroom drama. When young Elma Sands disappears just before Christmas and is later found dead, public outrage targets a local carpenter—forcing Burr and Hamilton into an uneasy alliance to defend him. As the trial unfolds against the backdrop of a high-stakes election, the novel weaves mystery, ambition, and betrayal into a shocking final revelation about the woman at the heart of it all.

We talked about: …why do pastors have term limits? …how do we get families of children in CCD to be more active? …how do we revitalize our Catholic schools? …how can we pray the rosary better? …can you help me forgive someone who continues to hurt me?   I'm sure you'll enjoy this episode… and please join us for the next live audience session on Friday, May 30th at St Rose of Lima in Newtown!   Pax Christi, Steve Lee The other guy on Let Me Be Frank   LINKS Email List: https://www.veritascatholic.com/ To Support Veritas: https://www.veritascatholic.com/donate Other Shows The Tangent on Veritas: https://www.youtube.com/@thetangentonveritas Daily Reflections: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyCatholicReflections Restless Catholic Young Adults: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1SbvGysG6C0mnQRAVcagkg

Over the past year, I've shared my own stories and the stories of my incredible guests about motherhood, grief, career pivots, personal reinvention, and all the messy, beautiful, complicated moments in between.

In this episode, I'm sharing:• Why I'm taking a break—and why pausing is sometimes the most powerful decision.• How stepping away from something can help us grow in new ways—personally, creatively, and professionally.• What's next?

Elizabeth was born at Greenwich in 1533 and was the daughter of the Tudor King Henry VIII by his second wife Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister Queen Mary to the throne in 1558. Elizabeth’s long reign was one of the most brilliant in English history. Referred to as The Golden Age, it is remembered for the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots the year before, and for many important voyages of exploration and discovery to North America. Known as the Virgin Queen, the colony of Virginia along the eastern coast was named after her.

Victor Vidal: Transforming Navesink’s Racquets Program

How did an international trade and finance student from Mexico come to head up Red Bank New Jersey's Navesink Country Club's Racquet Program? It's a long and winding road, but one that is full of insights into the private members club industry. Victor Vidal knew he was not suited to work behind a desk. As Navesink's Director of Racquets, Vidal runs a year-round program boasting tennis, platform tennis and pickleball. With a team of 5 certified professionals and four collegiate players along with a retail manager, Victor is on the courts, but as his staff grows, his time behind that desk grows also. Victor started his career at the famed Belle Haven Yacht Club in Greenwich, CT. Belle Haven has one of the most active tennis programs in the country. Born in Mexico, he soon realized that yacht clubs can be a misnomer with racquets, rather than sailing, the main source of revenue after food and beverage. Racquets usually provides one of the biggest revenue streams at a yacht club – not always so at a country club, where racquets tends to be an add on, or an amenity, says Vidal. Family Time Imposing Itself On Summer Activities Either way, whether its golf, sailing or racquets, family time is shortening the activity or experience at private members clubs. “One o'clock is pushing it…” says Vidal when holding a tournament. “Folks like to start at 8.30am and be done by 1pm and move on to family activities.” The era of weekend-long tournaments on the tennis courts at least, might be over. Programming follows the same suit. Live Ball has become Victor's most popular clinic program. It's an hour and a half, non-stop tennis, which gets the member to hit “a ton of balls” in a short amount of time, fitting into their weekend schedule. And “105” will be the new focal point for the upcoming summer. With lights on the court, Victor has more social-focused clinic programming in the evenings with adult beverages to follow. Although he doesn't always enjoy his time behind the desk, Victor is limiting his hours on the court. He still relishes his time on the court. He enjoys mentoring his staff when he is off the court. He tends to look for those who want to stay in the industry as possible candidates. “I want them to move up and spread their wings,” says Victor. That's how we make our industry better.

Click here to send a text to Christian and Doug with your contact infoStep into the world of air-cooled engines, handwritten carbon copy receipts, and a family legacy spanning over a century with Guinevere of Freecia Brothers. From her first car—a Tropicana Orange Karmann Ghia that proved challenging to drive—to her current rotation of beloved VWs including a 1963 Beetle named "Lily" and a 1987 Cabriolet called "Gadget," Guinevere's life has been shaped by these iconic vehicles.Located on dealership row in Greenwich, Connecticut, the Freecia Brothers shop started by painting horse-drawn carriages before evolving with the automotive industry. Today, they specialize in air-cooled Volkswagens, Porsches, and Corvairs. What makes these vehicles so special? Beyond their mechanical simplicity and distinctive chirping sound, they're conversation starters. "Everyone has a Volkswagen story," Guinevere explains, noting that she allocates extra time for errands when driving Lily because strangers inevitably approach to share their own VW memories.After studying fine art photography, Guinevere returned to the family business in 2012, finding it still operating with rotary phones and no computer. She gradually modernized their approach while preserving essential traditions—her father still insists on using carbon copy paper for receipts. This balance of old and new perfectly represents the Volkswagen community: honoring history while ensuring these beloved cars continue running for future generations.Whether restoring flood-damaged dune buggies, replacing convertible tops, or simply keeping these automotive icons on the road, the Freecia Brothers team brings passion and expertise to every project. As Guinevere puts it, "We just want to keep them on the road. Just want to make people happy."

Quando lo scafo di una nave fende l'acqua, del suo passaggio non permane che l'effimera spuma. Oceani e mari non conservano memoria dei transiti umani in superficie, sono le mappe a tracciarne le rotte. Disegnando complesse trame di linee, schiacciando il globo su un'innaturale bidimensionalità, rendendo solido ciò che è liquido, concreto quel che è impalpabile. È così che il mondo è diventato leggibile, navigabile, dominabile. Sulla scia di questa suggestione Sara Caputo, brillante storica di Cambridge, invita a viaggiare alle origini della cartografia, raccontandone le avventure e gli intrecci, dalle imprese di Cristoforo Colombo alle moderne tecnologie di tracciamento delle correnti oceaniche, incrociando rotte favolose da Odisseo ad Achab, da Sir Francis Drake a James Cook.

In November, a far right, pro-Russia figure came from almost nowhere to become favourite for the presidency. Calin Georgescu, with no affiliated political party and whose campaign had been largely on social media, won the first round of Presidential elections in Romania. The result sent shockwaves across the continent. But serious allegations surfaced over the legitimacy of Georgescu's campaign, resulting in Romania's Constitutional Court annulling the vote and barring Georgescu from standing. After mass demonstrations across the country, it's clear Romania's political landscape has been upended. Ahead of the rerun of the vote for president on 4 and 18 May, what will happen now with Romania's elections? Will the country lean towards a more nationalist future or back the mainstream parties that were previously in power?Contributors: Veronica Anghel, assistant professor at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at The European University Institute, Italy Oana Popescu-Zamfir, director of the GlobalFocus Center, associated expert at Carnegie Europe and associate researcher for the European Council on Foreign Relations, Romania Dr Radu Cinpoes, associate professor of politics and international relations at the University of Greenwich, United Kingdom Costin Ciobanu, political scientist with Aarhus University, DenmarkPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Vicky Carter Researcher: Katie Morgan Production Co-ordinator: Liam Morrey Technical producer: Nicky Edwards Editor: Tara McDermott

When the supernatural seeps into our world, it doesn't just leave behind fear—it can also leave sickness. From shadowy visitors to ominous dreams, some eerie paranormal encounters suggest that the price of witnessing the unknown may be paid in flesh and blood.IN THIS EPISODE: When the supernatural intrudes into our lives, it's not just our minds that are affected. We'll delve into a few bizarre cases where individuals fell gravely ill after brushes with the paranormal. Is it coincidence? Or something more sinister? And could these illnesses be due to the paranormal literally draining us of life? (Supernaturally Sick, Paranormally Poisoned) *** Helen Duncan made a living from conducting séances—until her uncanny knowledge of classified World War II tragedies spooked British authorities. (Britain's Last Witch) *** Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher whose ideas about mortality and utility extended beyond death. Bentham's wish for his body to be preserved and displayed as an "auto-icon" – so it could be seen publicly by all. And while his wishes were granted, it came with a few hiccups along the way… mostly with his poor head. (The Strange Story of Mr. Bentham's Corpse) *** Annie Dorman was discovered lifeless with a gunshot wound, sending shockwaves through her tight-knit community. Suicide seemed improbable, leaving detectives baffled and family perplexed. Was it a crime of passion, an accident, murder… or truly suicide? In a similar case, just a few years later, in the serene countryside of Greenwich, New York, the lifeless form of Maggie Hourigan is found, floating in a tranquil pool, speculation runs rampant. Were these cases suicide, as hastily concluded, horrible accidents… or sinister murders?

C.O. Bigelow president Ian Ginsberg on unlocking profitable pharmacy retail: 'You have to create a want, not a need'

For New Yorkers, C.O. Bigelow is an institution.  “There's something about the [Bigelow] apothecary that emotionally appeals to people,” Ian Ginsberg, president, pharmacist and third generation owner of C.O. Bigelow, told Glossy. “Everybody, no matter how young or old you are, has some memory about going to the apothecary and the pharmacist telling you what to do. That's where I started [when I joined the family business four decades ago]. I started focusing on what happens when you walk in the door.” Opened in 1838, C.O. Bigelow is a mainstay in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City and touted as the city's oldest apothecary. To wit: The original Kiehl's apothecary opened 14 years later in 1851.  C.O. Bigelow is known as a go-to for well-heeled New Yorkers, NYU students, tourists and neighborhood locals. Its lore includes customers like Sarah Jessica Parker and the late Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, who purchased her iconic headbands in the shop, according to C.O. Bigelow.  “It's not always about what you buy, it's about how you feel when you're there,” said Ginsberg. “I always say we have to be in the want business, not the need business. The minute we're in the need business, we're dead.”  His family has built more than a pharmacy and retail. The company also has an eponymous beauty brand made in partnership with Bath & Body Works, formerly Limited Brands. The products range from makeup to body care and currently sell in the Greenwich store as well as through Bath & Body Works, Bloomingdale's and Revolve, among other retailers.  The company also sells its wares direct to consumers. They include the namesake beauty line and the diverse curation found in store. Its stores offers luxury brands like Westman Atelier and Augustinus Bader, prestige offerings from RMS Beauty and Caudalie, and masstige products like Avene and Bioderma.  “You can't just put stuff on shelves anymore,” Ginsberg said. “Anybody can find unique things and put them on shelves, but it's about making people feel good -- that's more important now than ever before. People talk about experiential retail, but our experimental retail is just person-to-person communication, helping people, explaining things to them and answering questions and showing them how to use things in whatever category it is. That's the secret sauce.” The company also owns a distribution company called Bigelow Trading that imports and distributes small brands into the U.S., for its own retail and others. Marvis toothpaste is among those brands. In addition, Bigelow Trading has a thriving hotel amenities business that works across hospitality brands like Aman, Nobu Hotel and Soho Grand Hotel, among others.  But perhaps the most surprising thing about C.O. Bigelow is the role of the pharmacy in the overall business.  “People sometimes say to me, ‘You have this great beauty business because you have this strong pharmacy business,” Ginsberg said. “But they have it all wrong. [The pharmacy business is supported by the beauty business].”  As previously reported by Glossy, 2024 was a bad year for American drugstores, and 2025 could end up even worse. Just last year, CVS closed 586 locations, Rite Aid closed 408 stores, and Walgreens closed 259 locations, which has created “drugstore deserts” across the U.S. As a pharmacist and third-generation pharmacy owner, Ginsberg also shared his perspective on a buzzy topic in the industry: pharmacy benefit managers, which act as middlemen between drug companies and consumers. PBMs are currently under investigation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for alleged pricing abuse, according to reporting by Reuters in January,  Paired with razor-sharp drug margins, pharmacist staffing shortages and more issues native to pharmacies, the industry is struggling. Ginsberg joined the Glossy Beauty Podcast to discuss the company's secret sauce behind its thriving brick-and-mortar business and the role beauty retails plays in it.

In the realm of healing and personal growth, the subject of spiritual awakening often emerges as a complex theme, merging both the psychological and the transcendental. In our latest episode, we host Jessica Corneille, MSc, a Research Psychologist with a focus on the enigmatic field of spiritually transformative experiences (STEs). Jessica shares her mission to bridge science and spirituality, urging a shift in mainstream psychology to embrace spiritually transformative experiences as a vital part of our humanity. Through her fascinating insights and research, she describes these experiences as profound moments that often unveil a transcendent reality. Jessica's personal narrative sheds light on her deep commitment to this field, recounting her own unexpected awakening which inspired her academic pursuits. We discuss unexpected catalysts for spiritual awakening such as intense psychological turmoil and trauma, revealing how such spontaneous experiences often arise amidst life's most challenging moments, and the nuances between awakenings that occur spontaneously, those catalyzed by psychedelics, and those nurtured through practices like yoga and meditation. Learn how cultural and religious frameworks impact the interpretation of awakening experiences, and the societal taboos surrounding these phenomena. We also discuss the challenges of introducing the scientific framework to validate and understand such experiences that have historically been marginalized or pathologized. Finally, Jessica stresses the value of community after an awakening experience to assist with integration. With her research, Jessica aims to unite the divide between science and spirituality, highlighting how psychological frameworks can adapt to encompass these significant human experiences.Jessica Corneille, a Ph.D. Candidate in Neurophenomenology at University of Cambridge, has a Master's Degree in Psychology from the University of Greenwich. She has presented her work at several academic conferences, including with the British Psychological Society, and has published articles for various publications including the Psychedelic Society, as well as a chapter in a new book that explores spiritual awakenings among members of the scientific community.

171: Old Sport Campana (1836-1906) – Part Four

Ultrarunning History

By Davy Crockett By 1884, “Old Sport” Peter Napoleon Campana (1836-1906), had gained national fame. He was being called "the clown of the walking matches." While he was never competitive enough to win a six-day race, event managers knew that he was a huge draw to bring spectators into a race. They paid him a salary to be in their races. At age 52, some called him "The living skeleton." Campana acted the part of a decrepit old man and said, “I am 62 years old and I haven't got a tooth in my head and only a few hairs on it, but I'm here for sport, and don't you forget it.” New book! Old Sport Campana: Ultrarunning's Most Popular and Amusing 19th Century Runner. As I researched for these podcast episodes, I realized that I had enough content for an entire amusing and interesting book. This episode previews chapter six of the book. To read the entire story of Old Sport, get my new book on Amazon. Another Retirement After May 1884, the number of six-day races declined. Those held until 1886 were more of a minor nature, and no races were held in Campana's favorite venue, Madison Square Garden. It was written, “Walking matches no longer fire the public heart to the violence of a volcano”. The lull was mostly caused by a long financial recession until mid-1885, which contributed to tightening money. Campana did not compete in another six-day race for nearly three years. He tried to enter the first major six-day roller skating race held in March 1885, in Madison Square Garden. “One of the familiar sights was the appearance of Old Sport Campana, the ancient rival of O'Leary, still wearing the peaked cap, red shirt and bandanna neckerchief, that made him the object of curiosity in days gone by.” He believed he could win the race, but the managers refused to let him enter, knowing about his clowning reputation. Campana's Fame Campana was now recognized nearly everywhere he went. One day, he showed up in Boston. “A number of people followed the ‘old hero' about town with no particular object in view, other than to see him. Finally, he went into one of the drug stores and purchased sixteen ounces of the tincture of Jamaica ginger, which he drank at once, on a bet. Everyone expected to see him drop dead, but ‘Sport' is not one of the dying kind. It took considerable water and a good deal of profanity to cool his mouth off.” Later in the month, Campana was in New York City, examining a bunch of bananas in the warehouse of a Greenwich dealer. Going by, was a well-dressed man, with three friends who went into Smith & McNell's hotel. Campana yelled out, “There goes John L. Sullivan and Patsy Sheppard (boxers).” That started a mob of nearly 500 men going to the windows of the hotel trying to get a glimpse of the famous athletes. Campana Seriously Injured At his hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut, one day in June 1885, Campana was at a baseball game, cheering for Princeton instead of Bridgeport. He went too far, became abusive, and refused to leave. “The old man doesn't like the Bridgeport team worth a cent, and he kept on with his voice regardless of consequences. His brother, Policeman Alex Campana, was asked to quiet Sport and he did so, after a short parley with him, by whacking him three times on the head with his club. The pedestrian then walked off like a little lamb, bleeding. Some of the bystanders expressed indignation that the special officer clubbed his brother, but the majority thought that he got what he deserved.” He ended up in the hospital for weeks, sick, in critical condition, and without money or friends. In August 1885, after six weeks, he was discharged, became a ward of the city, and was expected to die at any moment. A month later, he had recovered and seemed to be like his old self. Campana the Peddler Campana succeeded in peddling a new product. He said, “There's no place like the New Milford fair. I went up there without a cent.

January was such an incredible month, and we're kicking off February with a solo episode that dives deep into self-discovery, personal growth, and a more focused mission for this show. I've been thinking a lot about what truly matters—not just for this podcast, but in my own life. Over the past year, I've navigated some big personal revelations, reevaluated what brings me joy, and made a conscious decision to create a space right here that fosters connection, healing, and authenticity. We don't always have to have everything figured out, and I'm working on giving myself permission to keep things messy and always evolving – with a mindset of “we'll see” – and I invite you to do the same. I played around with the show intro to make sure it really captured the essence of the show - and me, your host. I'm not totally there yet but will keep working on it! In this episode:• Reflections on our Five-Part January 2025 Glow-Up Series and how it's setting the tone for the year ahead.• A behind-the-scenes look at why I updated the show's teaser and trailer—what I've learned about myself and how I want this space to evolve.• Why I didn't turn this into a Greenwich gossip show (despite the temptation) and how my past as a celebrity reporter shaped that decision.• The personal struggles that redefined my perspective—from infertility and pregnancy loss to rebuilding a life that truly aligns with who I am.• The transformative power of the phrase “We'll see”—why it can change the way you approach life's challenges and uncertainties.• A beautiful quote from Yung Pueblo that perfectly captures the heart of this podcast and the kind of energy I want to cultivate. This episode is all about stepping into alignment, letting go of what no longer serves us, and embracing the journey—even when we don't have all the answers.

This week, we travel alongside Dominick Dunne on a quest for justice in the murder of Martha Moxley, slain in the exclusive enclave of Greenwich, Connecticut, on October 30, 1975. The investigation was dormant for almost two decades, but our man Nick gets a whiff of a bigger mystery during the rape trial of William Kennedy Smith in 1991. With his curiosity aroused, Dunne begins his own investigation, resulting in his 1993 novel A Season in Purgatory, a fictional telling of the crime. But Dunne hadn't really solved anything.  With the help of a confidential informant, Dunne has access to the Sutton Report – the file the Skakel family never wants seen. Dunne is going to make sure someone sees that report to continue the journey for justice for Martha. That person is former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman.  Continue your investigation with ad-free and bonus episodes on Patreon!

Before launching her fitness studio, Michelle Gross dedicated her career to being an operating room nurse in New York City and Greenwich, CT, where she built a strong foundation in health and wellness. But after years of treating patients, Michelle finally discovered her true passion was rooted in prevention, inspiring her to empower individuals to avoid illness altogether! A transformative moment, influenced by her young (and super talented) Broadway star daughter, Leila, compelled Michelle to take a bold step and establish Studio50Fitness in Mamaroneck, NY, just before the onset of the pandemic. Originally focused on dynamic group fitness classes like Mega, Hot Barre, Scorch HIIT, and Hot Flow Yoga, the studio has since expanded to include health coaching, weight loss programs, and non-surgical cosmetic and wellness treatments. In this episode, Michelle shares her journey of overcoming the challenges of running a fitness studio during COVID-induced closures and restrictions. She reflects on the valuable insights she has gained about herself along the way and highlights the essential mindset that she believes can lead anyone to cultivate a fulfilling career at any stage of life!
