John 3:1-17Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews, who came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God because no one can do the signs that you do apart from the presence of God.” Jesus answered him, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born from above.” Nicodemus said, “How can one be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?”Jesus answered him, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh and what is born of the Spirit is Spirit. Do not be astonished that I've said to you, ‘You must be born from above.' The wind blows where it chooses and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?”Jesus answered him, “Are you a teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things? Very truly I tell you, we speak about what we know and we testify to what we have seen and yet, you do not receive our testimony. If we speak to you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe when we tell you about heavenly things?“No one has ascended to heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up a serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.“For God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him may not perish, but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” I heard about the shoes long before stepping foot into the Holocaust Exhibition yesterday in Cincinnati with the group of Cross of Gracers who made the trip there. Not only had I heard about the shoes, but I'd seen something similar at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. several years ago. In Cincinnati there were pictures and a couple of stories about individual shoes from murdered Jews. D.C.'s museum hosts an exhibit of actual shoes, though, piled several feet deep – hundreds of them – men's shoes, women's shoes, the tiny shoes of children – stacked, like bodies you might say, as a grisly reminder – not just of the number of lives destroyed by the Holocaust, but the very simple, profound, fairly universal symbol of humanity that was lost in those years.What's also sobering to realize is that there are museums and memorials around the world with equally large and disturbing piles of shoes of their own. Which makes sad, terrifying sense of course. More than six million murdered Jews leave behind plenty of shoes to go around. (And let us not forget the queer folk, the Roma people, those with disabilities, and thousands of others who were also murdered as part of Hitler's Holocaust and Final Solution.)Anyway, and of course, we also saw, yesterday, plenty of pictures, video footage, and so many living, personal testimonies about the horrors of that regime, and of those days, and of that sinful stain on humanity's history. And they are difficult to see – sad, shameful, and scary – but necessary, to look at, in my opinion; as people of faith, as responsible citizens, as human beings on the planet, as children of God.And, for so many reasons, I thought of these things when I thought about this morning's Gospel.See, when Jesus reminds Nicodemus about that time in Israel's history when “Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,” he's recalling that strange story from the book of Numbers when God's people had lost faith and had been disobedient and doubtful of God, so that poisonous serpents showed up to bite them as punishment, so the story goes. When they realized the error of their ways and asked for help, Moses – at God's direction – put a bronze serpent on a pole, and set it up so that God's people could look at the serpent – like some sort of sacred, spiritual anti-venom – and be healed from the poisonous of those snakes that had plagued them. They were called to look back; to face their fear; to stare their struggle, their sadness, their sin – the source of their pain and punishment – in the eye – in order to be healed of it.And isn't that, a lot of the time, the very last thing we are inclined to do – get close to and look at the source of our struggle and sinfulness, I mean? Isn't it hard and scary, sometimes, to look our fear, our shame, our guilt, and our greatest threat in the eye? Aren't we pretty good at – if not inherently wired for – avoiding so many of the difficult, scary, broken parts of our lives and of our history, rather than face them, admit them, let alone engage and get close to them and expect good things to come of it?And it's no wonder, really. Our world is an unforgiving, judgmental, punishment- seeking, vengeance-hungry, score-keeping, death-dealing kind of place to live in. Admitting mistakes is bad for approval ratings – just ask a politician. Failure is to be avoided at all costs – just ask a student or a young athlete in your life. Admitting sin and seeking forgiveness feels like weakness – just look in the mirror.But this is what I hear Jesus ask of us in this morning's Gospel. “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up” … on a pole… on a tree… on a cross for all the world to see, so that we might look at him, so that we might look to him for deliverance from that which we fear threatens us most – our greatest mistakes, our deepest guilt, our darkest shame, our unfathomable brokenness, our Sin – with a capital S – heaped upon God, in Jesus, and left to die on a cross.And that's the power – and the practical, holy importance – of museums and memorials that point to and remind us of our history, and that force us to look it straight in the eye, even when, especially when, it's terrible and terrifying – like any Holocaust exhibit, like the Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama, like the Vietnam Wall, the 9/11 Museum, the Stonewall National Monument in Greenwich Village, New York.These are hard, holy reminders of humanity's capacity for inhumanity. But there is also warning and hope and potential for transformation when we dare to confront, study, learn from, and be changed by what we've done.- I don't know how anyone could spend 5 minutes in that Cincinnati exhibit and deny the atrocities of Hitler's regime – but there are too many who still pretend it didn't happen or that it wasn't as bad as it was, and who refuse to believe what their eyes could see if they'd just look.- After learning that some of the Nazi's first sinister steps toward “Making Germany Great” included very deliberately “Germanizing” the names of towns, villages, and streets, I'll think even harder every time I hear or see someone refer to “The Gulf of America” on a map.- And when I hear about innocent US Citizens being unfairly, unjustly detained, imprisoned, and deported, I'll remember the way that happened to innocent Japanese Americans once before, too, while we were simultaneously, ironically, fighting to liberate Jews from similar tyranny in the same damn war.We need all the reminders and reality checks we can get, people. Because, as Maya Angelou used to say, something with which I believe Jesus would agree: “When you know better, you do better.”That's why yesterday – and all of this – is more than a history lesson for me. It's an exercise of faith because these Lenten days are all about doing this work – looking back, acknowledging, admitting, confessing, repenting of our sins – working to change and be changed because of them – and extending mercy, grace and love to the world of God's children as a result.Because “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might have eternal life.” And because “God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”It's hard to look at what hurts, horrifies and threatens to kill us – at what has killed too many of us – and trust that, in doing so, we can be saved. But that's Jesus' invitation today, nonetheless… “to look and live” like those Israelites were commanded to do, way back when. To look at the Sin that has bitten us and that bites us, still. To see, repent for, and change all the ways we manage to break the heart of God; not avert our eyes, not run from, not pretend or deny the fullness of our Sin – and to not be fooled into believing God can't redeem it, either.And that's why we look to the cross … so that we might stop hiding from the sins that hang there – all the things done, left undone, and yet to be done – so that we might look full in the face at our greatest shame and our deepest fears and into the threat of our own brokenness – into the face, even, of death – and to see God's promised salvation in spite of it all.Because when we see the whole of our SIN crucified and killed … then forgiven and raised to new life … it can't bite, burden, or betray us any longer. And when we receive and accept the fullness of this grace, we can learn to walk in the shoes of our neighbor and live transformed lives in return – asking for forgiveness, extending mercy, and loving one another – wholly – the way we have already been loved, by God, in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen

Why are the streets of Manhattan's West Village so unusually charming and romantic? Why does it make such an excellent place for a night out in New York City? Why is the real estate so expensive? And when did it become a distinct place separate from Greenwich Village? We hope to get to the bottom of these questions in the first part of our epic new limited series on the history of the West Village. People have been living in this region of Manhattan Island for centuries -- first the Lenape, then the Dutch, who gave the area its distinctive name ("Groenwijck"). During the English colonial period, several large estates were developed here, and their memories survive today in certain street names -- like Christopher Street. By the 19th century, the fear of yellow-fever epidemics in the crowded city south of here brought new residents, new housing development -- and new streets, built every which way, conforming to hills, farms, and private property. It immediately clashed with the city's plan for an organized Grid Plan of streets and avenues. The result is a bewildering map that often seems to bend space and time (as at the intersection of West 4th and 11th Streets).

Jaume Segalés y su equipo comentan asuntos de la actualidad y traen las mejores recomendaciones culturales. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: Enfermedades Raras Mañana sábado 28 de febrero se conmemora el Día Mundial de las Enfermedades Raras. Una jornada que da pie a reflexionar sobre los retos pendientes que afectan a quienes las padecen: mejorar el diagnóstico precoz; avanzar en la creación y acceso a tratamientos; y visibilizar la realidad de los que conviven con estas patologías poco frecuentes. Se conocen más de 7.000 enfermedades raras, pero sólo aproximadamente el 6% dispone de tratamiento. En España, se estima que más de 3 millones de personas padecen alguna de estas patologías. Muchas de ellas son graves, crónicas, potencialmente mortales y la gran mayoría (alrededor del 70%) se desarrollan durante la infancia. Además, el diagnóstico suele retrasarse por el desconocimiento de sus síntomas, lo cual incrementa la carga física, emocional y social para los pacientes y sus familias. Este año, ponemos el foco en las entidades que investigan y desarrollan medicamentos para este tipo de enfermedades, cuyos tratamientos están dirigidos a un número muy reducido de pacientes. Tal es el caso de Recordati Rare Diseases, división del grupo Recordati (que este año celebra su centenario) especializada en patologías poco frecuentes. Desde 2007, centra su actividad exclusivamente en enfermedades raras como la de Cushing, la acromegalia, la porfiria o el neuroblastoma de alto riesgo. Entrevistamos al director general de Recordati Rare Diseases en España y Portugal, David Marín Raboso. Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre "Mi hermana Elena" (My sister Eileen). Película musical estadounidense de 1955 dirigida por Richard Quine, con guion de Blake Edwards, Richard Quine y Joseph Fields, y protagonizada por Janet Leigh, Jack Lemmon y Betty Garrett. Dos hermanas muy diferentes, una explosiva rubia y una tímida morena, llegan a Nueva York dispuestas a abrirse camino: una como actriz, la otra como escritora. Narra la historia de las hermanas Ruth (Betty Garrett) y Elena Sherwood (Janet Leigh), nacidas en Columbus (Ohio), que llegan a NYC para conseguir fama y fortuna. Ruth, la mayor, es tímida, se considera poco agraciada, teme quedar soltera, escribe cuentos y es portadora de una carta de recomendación para Robert "Bob" Baker (Jack Lemmon), editor de la revista "L'Amour". Elena es rubia, extrovertida, guapa, simpática y desea triunfar como actriz de teatro. Ambas se instalan en un semisótano destartalado de Greenwich Village, rodeado de vecinos excéntricos.

La pochette de l'album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan est aujourd'hui une des images les plus iconiques des années 60. On y voit deux jeunes gens qui marchent bras dessus bras dessous dans une rue enneigée de New York, serrés l'un contre l'autre pour résister au froid. Et on grelotte avec eux, c'est vrai, mais ce qu'on ne peut pas louper, c'est la lumière qui se dégage leur sourire. Une lumière dont on devine, bien évidemment, l'origine : l'amour et la jeunesse, le monde est à leurs pieds.Quand il la rencontre, Bob a vingt ans, pas vraiment d'adresse, et est financièrement raide. Il dort chez des gens sur des canapés, parfois par terre, traîne toute la journée à Greenwich Village, joue dans les petites salles pour le chapeau et vit avec une guitare, un harmonica, un carnet et l'idée obstinée que quelque chose va arriver.Suzanne Rotolo, c'est son nom, est plus jeune que lui, mais plus stable. Elle a un toit, un vrai travail, comme disaient les parents à l'époque, mais aussi des idées politiques et une curiosité immense. Quand Dylan arrive chez elle, il a vite fait de poser tout ce qu'il possède. Suze lui fait à manger : une soupe et des pâtes, rien d'extraordinaire, sauf que pour lui, ça compte énormément.Bob reste. Il parle beaucoup, écrit tout le temps, vit comme si chaque jour était décisif. Suze écoute, l'emmène au théâtre, aux manifestations, lui fait écouter autre chose que du folk. Ils marchent beaucoup, surtout le soir, parce que rester dehors ne coûte rien. Ils s'aiment fort, se disputent aussi. Bob peut être dur, absorbé par son art. La photo de cette pochette d'album qui va se vendre par millions, est prise en plein hiver 1963, dans Jones Street, à Manhattan. Il fait très froid et ils n'ont pas vraiment ce qu'il faut pour s'en protéger. Dylan n'est pas encore une voix mythique, c'est un garçon qui tient debout parce qu'une jeune femme marche à son bras. Vous devriez voir cette autre photo prise un instant plus tard, quand il l'embrasse, et elle fermant les yeux, le visage collé à son épaule à en mourir, c'est bouleversant.Quand l'album sort, et qu'on se met à entendre Blowin' in the wind partout, les choses vont changer, c'est vrai. Bob va devenir Dylan. Suze, elle, va s'effacer peu à peu. Mais pour l'éternité, il reste cette image : avant la légende, un hiver, deux manteaux trop fins, et un amour en guise de soleil.Avant d'être une pochette mythique, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan est le souvenir d'un hiver new-yorkais, d'un artiste en attente de reconnaissance, et d'une jeune femme formidable qui l'a aidé à tenir le temps que sa voix trouve sa place. Alors on reste figé, comme cette photo que des milliers et des milliers de couples sont allés reproduire depuis dans Jones street. La vieille camionnette Volkswagen n'est plus garée sur la gauche de la rue mais le vent d'amour et de cette jeunesse insolente y souffle toujours. Rien ne pourra le faire tomber, pas même le ciel.

Life begins for Anita in 1968 when she graduates from college, leaves her family home in Brooklyn, and moves to Greenwich Village, stepping into the revolutionary heyday of her times. Against the turbulent backdrop of charged school strikes, the Stonewall Inn and Attica uprisings, and the nascent feminist movement, Anita grapples with gang violence, job restrictions, gender stereotypes, as well as the corrosive nature of familial secrets and regrets, and, ultimately, her own evolution as a woman during and after this volatile era. As she ages, Anita asks herself and her friends the question: “Did you have the life you wanted?” prompting surprising and heartbreaking responses. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

On the afternoon of December 22, 1984, shots rang out beneath the streets of New York, from the subway's 2 Seventh Avenue express train.A Greenwich Village man named Bernhard Goetz shot four black teenagers who he believed were about to assault him. The incident made international news, amplified by the city's shameless tabloid newspapers because it so perfectly embodied all the cultural stereotypes about New York City in the 1980s.Goetz became a sort of folk hero, the so-called Subway Vigilante, who took things into his own hands because the city's weakened and inept services could not.The facts of this case only came to light in the courtroom, playing out over the years. And, if you're old enough to remember this incident, chances are that you may not be remembering it accurately.To untangle the truth from the hype, Greg is joined in the studio by Elliot Williams, the author of the gripping new book Five Bullets: The Story of Bernie Goetz, New York's Explosive ‘80s, and the Subway Vigilante Trial that Divided the Nation.This episode was produced and edited by Kieran GannonOther Bowery Boys episodes you may enjoy: Ford To City: Drop Dead, the Subway Graffiti Era 1970-1989 and Taxi Driver (Bowery Boys Movie Club) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Book of Reservations is the second installment of The Ghost Table trilogy. It picks up one year after The Coat Check Girl ends. It is autumn 2000 and Miss Sylvie's Bistrot in Greenwich Village, New York is struggling to survive. Growing pains, an unreliable clientele, and the threat of a hotshot real estate developer loom large. Josie Gray, co-owner, is confident things will turn around, while her much more pragmatic partner thinks she's being unrealistic. She's not. Josie has the benefit of friends on the “other side” of the veil who make her feel like everything's going to be all right. Unfortunately, those same friends drive a wedge further in her relationship with her partner, who wants nothing to do with the spirit world. This would be okay were it not for the fact the spirit world is trying desperately to reach him, and Josie is their only conduit.                                                                                             For more info: https://www.laurabuchwald.com/https://www.instagram.com/laurabuchwaldauthor/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Robin Dellabough, writer and editor, shares her unconventional journey from growing up in a bohemian Greenwich Village household to spending decades supporting other people's creativity. Raised by beatnik parents who gave her the confidence to try anything, she hitchhiked Europe at 17, lived in a Hawaiian treehouse, worked as a theater stage manager, and ghostwrote books—all while her own creative voice remained underground. Dellabough explains the pattern of talented people who facilitate others' success while neglecting their own work, how she eventually claimed her creative life through poetry and writing, and why direct feedback without sugarcoating serves creative growth better than false encouragement.

En este episodio nos visita Fred Neil, la voz mas profunda y libre del folk rock americano, el artista que huyó de las voces que le hablaban. Repasaremos su fugaz carrera, desde sus inicios a finales de los 50 como cantante de rock and roll clásico, pasando por su trabajo como compositor para otros artistas en el mítico Brill Building de Nueva York, mientras labraba una carrera de leyenda del folk rock en los garitos nocturnos del barrio de Greenwich Village, y grababa espléndidos discos para las discográficas Elektra y Capitol. Y llegaremos hasta el momento en el que él mismo truncó su ascendente trayectoria artística desapareciendo de la escena en el año 70 sin avisar, y sin dar señales de vida hasta su muerte en 2016 víctima de un cancer. En definitiva, otra de esas historias legendarias de las que nadie está hablando y que nos gusta recordar en esta vuestra Autopista Sin Fin.

This playlist is 72% vinyl friendly. Not bad. The SL-1300G in 2025. Technics keeping it simple with the design, if not with the spec trying to convince punters they need one. ‘Coreless Direct Drive Motor Achieving Stable Rotation The use of a coreless direct-drive motor with no iron core eliminates uneven rotation of the turntable known as cogging. Also, the twin-rotor construction reduces the bearing load while maintaining high torque and reduces minute vibrations during rotation. Furthermore, the SL-1300G's motor was redesigned to eliminate subtle vibrations that could affect sound quality. To improve rigidity, the same reinforcement pattern as the Reference Class SL-1000R/SP-10R was used for the coil mounting base‘. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. NB: THIS PLAYLIST INCLUDES EXPLETIVES. Lyric of Playlist 148 For the reality… Courtesy of Crooked Man, Jarvis’ by a country mile, but… For the idyll…John Sebastian. 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Turn – Waiting For The Sirens’ Call, 2LP – London – 2005 With Barney’s lilting, slightly forlorn vocal, a little gem nearly lost on one of the band’s least successful albums. 05.02 LITTLE NEMO – A Day Out Of Time – Past And Future, LP – Domestica – 2013 Though the track originally surfaced in 1987 on the 500 run, cassette-only format of the (debut) album. Even back then it could have been seen as yet another ‘sound’ out of Europe that seemed to echo the UK alternative/new wave scene of a few years earlier. 08.48 KIM GORDON – Not Today – Play Me, LP – Matador – 2026 Get past the intro – where it very momentarily sounds (to my ears anyway) like the batteries ran out – and Kim Gordon drifts nicely across the wash of sound. 12.03 THE COMSAT ANGELS – The Eye Dance – Sleep No More, LP – Polydor – 1981 Judging by a known set list for late Nov ’81 and the fact the band were then promoting the recently released, above album, this track was likely in the set list for my Bedford Corn Exchange gig promotion earlier that month. Big smiles when I hear them… though I’ve sadly never heard a tape of the Bedford night. 15.40 BUNNYDRUMS – Holy Moly – Holy Moly, LP – Fundamental – 1984 The short-lived, mid ’80s Philadelphian band with a quirky mix of ‘new wave’ vocal and a belting soul vocal bv in the backdrop of a low slung, punk country’ish workout. Maybe it’s the ‘yippee-ki-yay’ and pseudo peddle steel guitar? The band have been here before – and will be again. 21.30 COSTUME – Once I Loved (Original Mix) – Download only – 2021 Claudia Placanica’s slightly disconcerting delivery is always the thing for me! 23.54 THE IRONSIDES – The Web – Changing Light, LP – Colemine – 2023 Cinematically soundtracking the ’70s like a good’un! The Streets of San Francisco and its like… which is apt… as that’s where The Ironsides are from. 28.57 BABY ROSE – Go – Through and Through, LP – Secretly Canadian – 2023 My fave 21st century track of the show, Jasmine Rose Wilson (to her mum and dad) with a quivering indie soul vocal – on this tune anyway – that Anonhi/Antony and the Johnsons could have penned and rolled out, albeit with a slightly different sound, no doubt. And that really is the sleeve, honest. I could be wrong but I reckon it’s a photographer’s dud that someone subsequently had a weird liking for. I struggle to actually look at it! 31.56 THE DRIFTERS – Like Sister and Brother – 7″ – Bell – 1973 I had this single in the mid ’70s but with the years since maybe ‘softening’ the senses, this made-to-measure ballad (with lead vocalist, Bill Fredericks sounding more like Johnny Mathis than I’d have remembered) sounds better now than it did back then but in the world we now live in there will be few if any songs written like this again. I had to run the idea past one of my teenage years mates but I reckon that, along with Jimmy Ruffin’s What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted (and others, no doubt), this was a last-dance-of-the-night/grab-a-girl-type tune at Bedford Rugby Club’s Saturday night ‘discos’. I’m making this actually sound like the ’40s but it was the era and I was in my late teens… and until I find my membership card, this’ll have to do. ‘Swing to Boomerang’ indeed. I don’t think they came back. 34.52 EYELESS IN GAZA – Flight Of Swallows – Back From The Rains, LP – Cherry Red – 1986 The intro to my 1984 Rorschach Testing article below sums up my thinking on Flight back then – and though the track was being played live at the time it was a couple of years before it surfaced on the above album. EIG article, Rorschach Testing, 1984 39.22 JONI MITCHELL – Eastern Rain – Archives – Volume 1: The Early Years 1963-1967, 5CD – Rhino – 2020 Truly a legend, such is the quality of the lady’s songwriting this beaut – from a Folklore Radio broadcast, of March 19, 1967 – never even made it to an official album and though it was covered by others and turned up in Joni live appearances of the time it took until the above retrospective to be released officially. And she’ll be back here quicker than you might be expecting. 43.13 SÓLEY – I Will Find You (Live, at the KEX Hostel in Reykjavik: 30.10.13) – Stream only – 2013 With a whole different tone to Liam Neeson’s ‘I Will Find You’ :), a production from the classy KEXP and a song only found on Sóley’s 5 track, 10″ EP, Don’t Ever Listen. This take however is a far more endearing version. 45.54 NORMA TANEGA – Walkin’ My Cat Named Dog – 7″ – Stateside – 1966 Was Norma ‘indie’ before there was such a thing? Sadly, she died in 2019 but search out a short Youtube interview and snippets piece (and the comments that followed) from a decade or so earlier. It was meant to be included in a proposed documentary that never then got going. 48.06 THE ELECTRIC FLAG – Look Into My Eyes – A Long Time Comin’, CD only – Columbia – 2003 From a handful of tracks that possibly didn’t make the cut for the initial 1968 release of the Chicago soul rock band’s second album, this is one of two that were first added to the above reissue. 50.52 LOVIN’ SPOONFUL – Summer In The City – 7″ – Kama Sutra – 1966 Maybe the best known tune on the show, with a forceful sounding John Sebastian and his/their ‘city’ being New York and its Greenwich Village hub back then. 53.13 THE FORTUNES – Here It Comes Again – 7″ – Decca – 1965 Innocent ’60s ‘pop’ with a classy arrangement, and another the likes of which will never be made again… and certainly not by anybody aiming for the charts. 56.09 THE MINDBENDERS – Groovy Kind Of Love – 7″ – Fontana – 1965 Wayne Fontana at the helm (and co-written by a pre-Sager Carol Bayer, I’ve just noted) I think this might have subconsciously stuck with me enough in its chart days (I was 8), to then make it to my record collection in the early ’70s. It felt then like a great many happily got rid of their records (certainly singles) after just a few years coz every second hand record shop had loads of chart stuff from just the 5-10 years prior. I was too young to have been buying the height of ’60s ‘pop’ during its time but picking it up a decade later was dead easy. Bet this cost me 10p or thereabouts. 58.05 SPUDDHA – Ton – Unreleased demo – 2014 ‘Recorded in a single take with a pair of £100 analog groove boxes (Korg Volcas) and there's no multi tracking, effects or post processing. One of the boxes is a three voice paraphonic synth and the other is an analogue drum machine. ‘At the time I was interested in making big, immersive music with an organic quality with sparse loops and a minimal setup. There's a lot of live tweaking and you will notice that the limitations of the synth mean that 1) only 3 notes can sound simultaneously and 2) the voices interrupt each other. Also presets couldn't be saved… if I didn't record what I was doing I couldn't move onto making something else without losing it all‘. – Spuddha. ‘Spud’ to me. 01.04.46 LONELADY – Hinterland – Hinterland, LP – Warp – 2015 Julie Lonelady groovin’ a tune and lyric that should have been here before now. c/w Julie ‘helping out’… 01.09.32 JONI MITCHELL – River (acapella) 01.13.30 ATRIC & FRIDA DARKO – Hide & Seek – Download only – 2023 ‘Always trying to combine genre fluid compositions, qualitative mixing and to take the whole process with a good sense of humor‘. – Them, via Bandcamp 01.17.26 A CERTAIN RATIO – Knife Slits Water (Peel session, June ’81) – Sextet, 2LP reissue – Factory Benelux – 2013 Yep, with Martha ‘Tilly’ Tilson’s oh-so-right vocal, the slightly epic Knife Slits Water. Very coincidentally, the day ACR recorded the above Peel session (according to the Keeping It Peel site) I saw them live supporting Cabaret Voltaire at Leicester Uni and the day the session was broadcast my diary says I had a long phone chat with Rob Gretton – no idea about what, other than re what New Order were up to at that point. 01.25.11 EARL16 – Changing World (Remix) – , LP – Merge Records – 2001 I caught this on a late night KISS FM radio show. His conscious sounds here taken up a few BPM. 01.30.05 COURTNEY BUCHANAN – R U Conscious (Album version) – 12″ – Conscious – 1993 And speaking of ‘conscious’… ‘Courtney has one of the most soulful, spiritual voices to come out of the UK. His music here combines jazzy acoustic sounds with delicate use of technology on a rhythmic, down-paced head nodder. I various mixes, the track’s ‘conscious’ lyrics and impressive vocals are a fine showcase for this British talent.‘ – Ralph Tee, Record Mirror (Music Week), 3.7.93 01.34.42 DELTA HOUSE OF FUNK – Lovers & Losers – 12″ EP – Go! Discs – 1996 Decided to playlist this before I remembered it was another of Ashley Beedle’s works. So, this is with a big nod to a top lad who’s been going through the health ringer in the last few years. 01.39.38 DRAX – Middle Earth – Drax Two, 12″EP – Trope – 1993 Clear vinyl gentle German techno. 01.44.51 CROOKED MAN – Cunts – Crooked Stile, 2LP – Viscous Charm – 2026 The reimagining here courtesy of Richard ‘Parrot’ Barratt. ‘Jarvis Cocker released Running The World in 2006The line ‘cunts are still running the world' is more relevant than ever… 20 years on and Crooked Man thought it needed to be said againHis razor-sharp reimagining is a call to arms with added electronic biteHe's skipped the niceties and titled it CUNTS.Out today on Vicious Charm today. The track is accompanied by an Agit-Prop video directed by British contemporary artist Dominic McGill, who, armed with a photocopier and a scalpel, has cut & pasted a perfect accompaniment to the song – breathless and furious. They are still running the world. It’s a work of “northern genius”, Jarvis’ words, not ours‘. – Bandcamp. 01.47.21 DESPERATE JOURNALIST – 7 – No Hero, LP – Fierce Panda – 2024 Driving indie rockers ever present on Simon Williams’ Fierce Panda label, with a nod to Jo Bevan’s confident vocals. 01.50.22 GANZHEIT – Motions – ‘Summer Of ’84’ demos cassette, unreleased – 1984 With a couple of this cassette’s tracks now playlisted on 41 Rooms, there are more to come from this lost Bedford-based band.

Betty Boyd Caroli's biography of Mary Kingsbury Simkhovitch is the first full-length work on a seminal figure in the settlement house movement, which spearheaded efforts to improve the life of immigrants and to counter urban squalor in cities around America in the early 19th century. Greenwich House, the community center Simkhovitch founded in 1902 in Greenwich Village, then a destination point for new immigrants to New York, quickly gained a reputation equal to that of Jane Addams's Hull House in Chicago, providing services in health, recreation, education, and the arts (which Greenwich House continues to do to this day). Simkhovitch became a tireless advocate of public housing and has been called by some "the mother of public housing." She played a central role in designing and administering the first public housing projects in America during the New Deal, in which she was an integral figure. The National Housing Conference, which she founded in 1931, continues to operate in our current "housing crisis" as among the most prominent advocates for safe, affordable housing. She co-wrote the National House Act of 1937, the first piece of legislation to establish the federal government's responsibility to help provide low-income families with housing. A Slumless America: Mary K. Simkhovitch and the Dream of Affordable Housing (Oxford University Press, 2026) by Caroli, best-known for her work on presidential First Ladies, which has gone through multiple editions, will become the standard account of a truly remarkable life. Born in New England and educated in Boston and at the University of Berlin, Simkhovitch married a Russian intellectual seven years her junior who spoke no English and had no job prospects. Raising a family while working for her rapidly expanding set of causes, Simkhovitch was portrayed in a DC Comics series (also featuring Diana Prince) in the early 1940s as a "Wonder Woman of History" for her seeming ability to do it all: take on the full spectrum of urban ills while also raising and supporting her family. Her husband eventually joined the Columbia faculty and became a noted art collector, advising collectors such as J. P. Morgan, while she exposed the squalor of Downtown slums. The stress of trying to do it all took a heavy toll on Simkhovitch, but her lifelong, passionate advocacy of and contributions to housing reform continued unabated and remains both inspiring and relevant. Betty Boyd Caroli is a graduate of Oberlin College and holds an MA in Mass Communication from Annenberg School of University of Pennsylvania, as well as a Ph.D. in American Civilization from New York University. She studied at the Università Per Stranieri in Perugia, Italy, and the Salzburg Seminar in Austria. A Fulbright in Italy led her to teach at the British College in Palermo, the English School in Rome, and two branches of City University of New York (Queens College and Kingsborough Community College).

Vincent “Chin” Gigante was the most powerful mob boss in America...and he was also the mob's best performance artist. By day, he wandered Greenwich Village in a bathrobe, muttering to himself, selling the world on the idea that he was crazy. By night, he ran the Genovese crime family with near-absolute discipline, avoiding wires, indictments, and the spotlight that destroyed flashier dons. For decades, he convinced the FBI and the courts he was too mentally ill to stand trial, all while green-lighting murders, controlling unions, and skimming millions, turning the Genovese family into the most powerful criminal group in America.

Send us a textThe Power of No Like many women of earlier generations the ability to utter the word “no” was difficult. But I quickly learnt its power when I arrived in NYC at age 16 and had to survive a new and abstract environment .Fresh from a village in the Corentyne  of nearly 500 people  I landed in Greenwich Village , Manhattan- the bohemian community of artists, hippies, gamsters, gangsters where live accelerated- surrounded by cozy pubs,  pool halls, record shops, vintage clothing shops ( where I found my first style in a Balenciaga dress, and Givaunchy coat for  than one hundred dollars, feasted on lunches at a Cuban cafetiera - arroz, black beans, and fried platanos for less than five dollars… traded Vidal Sassoon haircuts for fashion tips with my new friend, Miwa… a  metropolis exploration where I learned to unreign my free will to bolster and materialise an infinite sense of creativity. I trained myself to learn the word “no”, No to taking the easy route No to being exploitedNo to jobs that underpaid immigrantsNo to unscrupulous landlordsThe most aggrieved No was to my father who was adamant about my pursuing my academic studies. The power of No did not alleviate mistakes and blindspots along the way but it safeguarded my focus. I had no choice but to succeed with my new life. With the power of NO, I was able to step by step build a new life with revolutionary clothing designs and empowered the brand name Maya which fashion designs in the seventies were featured by 80% of America's hi fashion fashion retailers. I had delved into unearthing remembered skills. Then cancer struck at the height of my fashion career. A five year long journey that took me through the first fire of imitation of adult life. Cancer rerouted me back to the rich ground of my Vedic ancestry. My father was the pivotal oarsman In this transition. He reminded me that my birth path was a sacred one. I belonged not to the path of celebrity, but to the path of service. Just like that the power of No which had rapidly grown my success in the fashion world morphed into itself to bail me out of the cursory industry of commerce and commodity. His echo was a resounding NO to my life in the fashion industry. I closed the doors to my quintessential Madison Ave boutique, Closed all retailers access to my designs, closed out my licensing project that had just opened its first flagship store. The journey of Yes had begun: Yes to realigning with ancestral wisdom. Yes to being the first of my family to return to the Motherland. Yes, to the grace of an intensely disciplined and structured vocation of studying Vedas. Yes to my remarkable Guru, who was one of the rare and authentic scholar of Vedas. After my spiritual initiation, I returned to a fresh blossoms of  new life, with abundant pristine energy, and opened the Wise Earth School for disseminating Ayurveda holistic  medicine way of life.  The Spiritual Life of YES40 years of Yes ( while there were thousands of noble deeds and  lessons culled in these years, what stands out in the wane of energy is the priceless cost of Yes.Yes to women who needed my spiritual energy without accountabilityYes to women who needed a mother because their own relationship with their mother was deficient. Yes to those who needed to heal without doing the work Yes to the Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey~www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Mothermaya@gmail.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

In this episode of Reading Is Funktamental, we discuss the long history and profound influence of a single song, “Hey Joe,” a tune that binds nearly every strand of 20th-century American popular music. “Hey Joe” was written sometime in the early 1960s by a man named Billy Roberts, an obscure singer and guitarist from South Carolina who moved to New York City, drawn by the burgeoning folk music scene in Greenwich Village. It was a time when original material was scarce, leading other singers to quickly adapt quality songs in the spirit of folk music's oral traditions. Thus began the long journey of “Hey Joe” from New York coffeehouses to the bars on L.A.'s Sunset Strip to the ears of a young guitarist named Jimi Hendrix, who launched his career with his radical, electrified interpretation. The story is related by Jason Schneider, author of That Gun In Your Hand, a new book that also presents previously unpublished information about the life of Billy Roberts, a shadowy figure whose 2017 death went unreported by all news outlets. For more, read my review at NYSMusic.com https://nysmusic.com/2025/10/20/the-strange-saga-of-hey-joe-revealed/ "Reading is Funktamental" is a monthly one-hour podcast and radio show about great books written about music and music-makers.

Rainy Greenwich Village Tales

In November 1987, first responders arrived at a Greenwich Village townhouse to find six-year-old Lisa Steinberg unconscious and severely injured. Her adoptive father, a prominent New York defense attorney, claimed she had choked. But doctors quickly determined Lisa had suffered months of abuse, with injuries far too severe to be accidental.As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a disturbing reality inside the home. Lisa had never been legally adopted, leaving her invisible to the child welfare system. Her adoptive mother, Hedda Nussbaum, was also found to be a victim of extreme domestic abuse, with broken bones and untreated injuries that shocked authorities. Warning signs had surfaced for years through neighbors, teachers, and officials, yet no one intervened in time.Lisa was declared brain-dead three days later and removed from life support. The televised trial that followed captivated the nation and ended with a manslaughter conviction that many believed was far too lenient. But the impact of Lisa's death went far beyond the courtroom.Her case led New York to reform private adoption practices, expand mandatory reporting laws, and restructure how child welfare cases are handled. Lisa Steinberg's life was tragically short, but the reforms that followed ensured her story permanently changed how vulnerable children are protected.

The Book of Reservations is the second installment of The Ghost Table trilogy. It picks up one year after The Coat Check Girl ends. It is autumn 2000 and Miss Sylvie's Bistrot in Greenwich Village, New York is struggling to survive. Growing pains, an unreliable clientele, and the threat of a hotshot real estate developer loom large. Josie Gray, co-owner, is confident things will turn around, while her much more pragmatic partner thinks she's being unrealistic. She's not. Josie has the benefit of friends on the “other side” of the veil who make her feel like everything's going to be all right. Unfortunately, those same friends drive a wedge further in her relationship with her partner, who wants nothing to do with the spirit world. This would be okay were it not for the fact the spirit world is trying desperately to reach him, and Josie is their only conduit.                                                                                             For more info: https://www.laurabuchwald.com/https://www.instagram.com/laurabuchwaldauthor/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 17, 2025 is: espouse • ih-SPOWZ • verb To espouse an ideology, belief, etc., is to take it up and support it as a cause. Espouse is usually encountered in formal speech and writing. // The article explores some of the lesser-known viewpoints espoused by the charismatic leader. See the entry > Examples: “Crammed into a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village, they [Yoko Ono and John Lennon] immersed themselves in the city's counterculture, absorbing progressive politics whenever they weren't glued to the television set. Lennon's celebrity secured the duo a large platform to espouse these ideas ...” — Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Pitchfork, 11 Oct. 2025 Did you know? As you might guess, the words espouse and spouse are hitched, both coming from the Latin verb spondēre, meaning “to promise” or “to betroth.” In fact, the two were once completely interchangeable, with each serving as a noun meaning “a newly married person” or “a partner in marriage” and also as a verb meaning “to marry.” Their semantic separation began when the noun espouse fell out of use. Nowadays, espouse is almost exclusively encountered as a verb used in the figuratively extended sense “to commit to and support as a cause.”

Sarah Vogel was born in Auschwitz and liberated at age three, but she has no memories of being there and nobody to tell her the story of her birth or her mother. Becoming Sarah (Diane Botnick, She Writes Press 2025) grapples with identity, memory, belonging, and reinventing oneself. Sarah's trajectory is filled with both happiness and extreme loss, and she finds love, friendship, and home, but the lies she invented as a survivor follow her through her daughters and granddaughters, each of them survivors of something. Diane was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, but always knew she'd wind up in New York City. Her first night in Greenwich Village she went to a double feature of Godard's “Weekend” and Wiseman's “Titicut Follies,” and her romance with the city began. For the next 30 years, Diane worked around, starting out in Italy assisting people like Jerome Robbins and Ellen Stewart with their contributions to the Spoleto Festival, then back in the City for the Dia Art Foundation, Isamu Noguchi, Great Performances at WNET, and finally, Workman Publishing. Along the way, she returned to school in pursuit of a master's in creative writing at City College. Fulfilling all requirements but unable to pass the French exam (with a dictionary!), she was never awarded her diploma. However, the privilege of being mentored by Donald Barthelme and being appointed student editor of the literary magazine FICTION gave her far more than a diploma ever could.

In this episode of Reading Is Funktamental, we discuss Bob Dylan's New York, a guidebook and history of New York's key role throughout Dylan's lengthy career. It places Dylan's early career within the storied history of Greenwich Village, a hotbed of artistic innovation. A contemporary of Dylan's, musician/author/educator Dick Weissman walked the same streets, played music in the same venues, and witnessed the growth of the folk music revival from before Dylan became popular to after the height of his impact on the music scene. In this episode, Weissman discusses ten easy-to-follow walking maps and historic photographs, allowing the reader to retrace Dylan's footsteps and experience both Dylan's New York and contemporary New York. It also goes beyond the Village to include the many areas of the city where Dylan lived and worked, as well as the storied time he spent in Woodstock. Combining cultural history with personal history and anecdotes, Bob Dylan's New York illuminates the life and times of this seminal artist.

A burst of gunfire on a quiet November night. Two lives lost, more injured and an icon gay bar turned crime scene forever.On November 19, 1980, 38-year-old ex-transit cop Ronald K. Crumpley opened fire on patrons entering RAMROD, a beloved gay leather bar in Greenwich Village. What began as a night out ended in chaos. People ducked behind parked cars, others ran but two men, Vernon Kroening and Jörg Wenz, were killed, and many more wounded. In this episode of our LGBTQ+ true crime podcast we trace the horror of that massacre, the homophobia and mental illness behind it, and the ripple effect it had in a community already living in the shadows. We explore how a single act of hatred cracked open the illusion of safety for queer New Yorkers and why that reckoning still echoes today.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.To sign our online petition to have a memorial or plaque added to the building that once was the RAMROD please visit: https://c.org/L6QfmV4Q6N

It started as a normal trip home. A group of teenage girls coming back from a night in Greenwich Village, laughing, tired, just minding their own business waiting for the bus in downtown Newark. Minutes later, one of them was bleeding on the sidewalk, stabbed for saying one simple truth. “We're lesbians.” She was just fifteen years old, a child. Her tragic death would expose the risks that queer people, including children face daily while navigating public spaces. But it also revealed the strength of a community that refused to let her disappear into silence.

We have so much to tell you about!  In this episode, we dig into the life of Storme DeLarverie, a man who was born to a black mother and white father.  Mom was a servant and Dad was wealthy.  Because he was a child of black and white parents he was never issued a birth certificate and chose to celebrate his birthday on December 24th.  His dad paid for his education but he was raised mostly by his grandfather.  He joined the Ringling Brothers Circus as a show rider and began to get on stage at Jazz Clubs at only 15.  He would travel Europe with a jazz ensemble before returning to the United States where he joined the Jewel Box Revue.  The Jewel Box was at the time the only interracial drag show and it toured all over the country even to military bases.  And Storme became the show's lone drag king and emcee.  He was on hand at the Stonewall when the infamous uprising began in New York City aand may have been the one to kick off violence.  He later went on to become the Guardian of Greenwich Village in this, wow this was a true American episode of the Family Plot Podcast.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

Willa Cather, the beloved American novelist who lived during the height of America's Gilded Age, is perhaps best known for her insightful passionate writing about life on the Nebraska Plains where she spent her childhood. But Cather's writing and life included much more than that. She spent a significant part of her adult life in Pittsburgh before coming to New York and establishing her life with her partner Edith Lewis in bohemian Greenwich Village. Her work is set in an astonishing array of locations from New York to London to the American Southwest. Cather's characters span the broad range of humanity and are deeply universal in their passions as well as their struggles. Historian and educator Peter Cipkowski joins The Gilded Gentleman to share his insight on the work and life of the extraordinary and fearless American writer of the early 20th century.  For more information, please visit the Willa Cather ArchiveThis episode was edited and produced by Kieran Gannon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The aviation hero Amelia Earhart, who became one of the world's most famous women during the Great Depression, is one of those historic figures that people think they know quite well.But during her lifetime, much of her public image was the product of a New York book publisher. And even today, Earhart's legacy is reduced down to seemingly strange disappearance over the Pacific Ocean in 1937.Laurie Gwen Shapiro, author of The Aviator and the Showman: Amelia Earhart, George Putnam, and the Marriage that Made an American Icon, joins Greg on this week's show to untangle her surprising and even provocative true story -- as a young midwestern woman who embodied the possibilties of flight through the persona of 'Lady Lindy' even though the lofty ambitions of her publisher (and lover) George Putnam often placed her in dangerous situations.And New York City figures into both her story -- and that of early American flight. From the airfields of Governors Island to the Greenwich Village settlement house which became her home.ALSO: What really did happen to Amelia Earhart?

On a very special First Concert Memories we welcome two extraordinary guests to not only tell us all about a series of concerts from 50 years ago but for an upcoming show that will celebrate a very special tour in music history. The enchanting Scarlet Rivera, a world renowned violinist who toured with Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue in the 1970s's and played the haunting violin on Hurricane, is teaming up with Stu Allen to celebrate that historic tour. Stu is a veteran of jam band heavyweights in Northern California (Phil Lesh & Friends, Mars Hotel, Dark Star Orchestra) and is leading Scarlet and his friends in concert on November 4, 2025 at The Junction in Mill Valley (get tickets here ⁠www.thejunc.com/music-calendar⁠). Scarlet regales us with tales from the road when Bob Dylan decided he wanted to play live again but wanted to play in smaller venues and connect with people along the way. With greats like Mick Ronson onboard, Dylan also collected poets (Allen Ginsberg), playwrights (Sam Shepard), folk legends (Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Roger McGuinn) and a cast of characters to create not only incredible music on stage but to feed his own creativity and curiosity. The scene was captured by Stefan van Dorp and Martin Scorsese created a film for Netflix in 2019 that gave context to this unique tour. Scarlet was along for the ride after Dylan flagged her down while she was crossing the street in Greenwich Village. Hear who she befriended on tour and the rock legend she was dating at the time without knowing what his stage shows were all about (she ended it after seeing him live). If you can make it to The Junc in Mill Valley on November 4, please do and tell em The Wolf sent ya! If you can't we know you'll still love hearing from Scarlet Rivera about her fond memories of The Rolling Thunder Revue and why she's excited to play with Stu to enjoy those tunes live once again. ⁠www.thejunc.com⁠ ⁠www.scarletriveramusic.com⁠ Check out our new website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ugly American Werewolf in London Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LInkTree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.pantheonpodcasts.com⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Be sure and join us on our Youtube Channel with our special guest, former Fire Patrolman Arnold Roma, father of Patrolman Keith Roma. Tune in as we honor and pay tribute to the ONLY patrolman that perished on 911. Keith was with Fire Patrol 2 in Greenwich Village and responded to the trade center on that horrific day. Keith performed some great heroic acts on 911 including several trips into the North Tower where he saved an estimated 200 civilians.

Today's New York neighborhood called NoHo, wedged between Greenwich Village and the East Village, holds the stories of many people and places that then went on to become deeply associated with the great Gilded Age.The Astor family began their dynasty here in both investment and real estate as did the well-known Dutch-American merchant family the Schermerhorns.Caroline Schermerhorn, who became the famed Mrs. Astor, grew up right here on Bond Street along with many members of her family. NoHo today still contains many remnants of its early 19th-century glamorous past and sites where the tensions between the wealthy residents of the Lafayette Place neighborhood clashed with the growing immigrant population just one street away on the Bowery. Bowery Boys Walks tour guide Aaron Schielke joins Carl Raymond of the Gilded Gentleman podcast for a look at this fascinating neighborhood, which includes stories of the rich and famous, as well as the macabre details of a grisly 19th-century murder that took place on Bond Street that remains unsolved to this day. Take a Bowery Boys Walks tour with Aaron! Find dates to his NoHo tours here and other walking tours here.This episode was originally released in the Gilded Gentleman feed in March 2025. The show was edited and produced by Kieran Gannon.
