It is Ashe's golden age birthday (47, an even MAGA number) and the ladies open with the most on brand baroque dinosaur and clown birthday card from Archangel Michael, leaf photo challenge submissions that look professionally lit, and a coffee photo challenge fail that Ashe is fully embracing. Ashe then digs into the history of her own birthday: James Madison introducing the Bill of Rights in 1789 (the part she would never let them change), George Orwell's 1984 published in 1949 with a passage about lack of understanding keeping people sane, and the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty. Christy takes the professor chair for mad as a hatter, which turns out to come from actual mercury poisoning in seventeenth century French hat makers and not Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Ashe walks through CannCon's research on Smartmatic and how its Venezuelan code lives on inside Dominion and Sequoia, the LA Spencer Pratt election circus, and Trump walking off Kristen Welker's barn set after she demanded evidence the media already knows exists. Cristina from Rise Attire joins to debut The Crystal Veil, her first short film and the start of Dauntless Tales, a stylized AI fantasy series in the spirit of Dark Crystal and Legend, with a Guy Fawkes knight, an allegory for a different psyop in every episode, and a reminder that our kids need to see good guys win.

In this solo episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas delivers his definitive guide to Oxford — his favorite city in England outside of London and the subject of his guidebook 101 Oxford Travel Tips and Tricks. From the bleary-eyed chaos of his first visit in 2012 with an angry 16-month-old and the Mini Cooper factory ring road at midnight, to two stays as a student on the Oxford Experience program, Jonathan brings nearly 15 years of personal history with the city to bear on a comprehensive, enthusiastic, and practically useful travel guide. The episode covers how to get there, how long to stay, the Oxford Experience immersive student program, the colleges you must see, the Bodleian Library's remarkable layers, the essential museums, the unrivaled bookstore scene led by Blackwell's and its famous five-mile Norrington Room, Oxford's extraordinary literary connections from Lewis Carroll to Tolkien to Philip Pullman, the day trips that demand your time — including Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds — and the practical tips that will make your visit infinitely more enjoyable.

Two days minimum is the right call; three is better. Oxford is just 60 miles and 40-45 minutes by direct train from London Paddington, making it one of the easiest day trips or overnights in Britain — and you can also get there direct by bus from Heathrow without going into London at all. The Oxford Experience — a residential immersive programme at Christchurch offering one-week courses for adults in July and August — is Jonathan's single highest recommendation for anyone who wants to truly inhabit the city. Courses cost £1,500–£2,000 all-in and include room, board, lectures, and excursions; book in November when the schedule is released as popular courses fill within hours. The Bodleian Library is not one library but several — the Divinity School, Duke Humphrey's Library, the Radcliffe Camera, and the Weston Library — and the best way to see them properly is to book a guided tour well in advance, as they sell out. Blackwell's bookshop on Broad Street is arguably the greatest bookshop in the world — the underground Norrington Room alone has five miles of shelving beneath Trinity College — and Jonathan has never left without spending several hundred pounds. Staff will package books in brown paper and ship them back to the US at reasonable rates. Oxford's literary connections are extraordinary: Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland at Christchurch (Alice was the Dean's daughter); Tolkien and C.S. Lewis met with the Inklings at the Eagle and Child every Tuesday through the 1930s and 40s; Philip Pullman set His Dark Materials here; Oscar Wilde studied at Magdalen; and Inspector Morse has made every corner of the city feel like a crime scene. The Eagle and Child — the Inklings' famous pub on St. Giles' Street — has been closed since COVID and is currently being refurbished by new owners. It must reopen as a pub by heritage law, and is expected to reopen either in 2026 or 2027; keep an eye on the show notes link for updates. If you're in Oxford for even one day, you must go to Blenheim Palace — just eight miles away by bus, the only non-royal non-episcopal palace in England, birthplace of Winston Churchill, UNESCO World Heritage Site, and arguably the greatest country house in Britain. A bus from Oxford drops you at the gates. Jonathan's top Oxford hack: stay for at least one night. By 4-5pm the tour buses are gone, Oxford becomes a completely different city, and the cultural life — theatre, bookshop talks, music — begins. Arrive early to beat crowds at the sights, then save the evenings for culture and quieter exploration. Avoid mid-April to mid-June (exam season, colleges restrict access), avoid July if you run hot (medieval stone buildings have no air conditioning and bake in the heat), and buy a fan the moment you arrive if visiting in summer. September and October are ideal months to visit. ⠀ Soundbites "Most of my early memories of Oxford were driving the ring road at midnight with a toddler who would not go to sleep and who would only stop crying if he was in the car. We drove round and around, seeing nothing other than the Mini Cooper plant every time we went past." — Jonathan on his first trip to Oxford in 2012. "Oxford has this warmth to it — that yellow beige Cotswold stone, weathered and warm. And there's this scholarly, bookish vibe from the place that you don't really get anywhere else. It's not just a campus. Oxford University is the town of Oxford." — Jonathan on why Oxford grabs you. "I was immediately spellbound. I loved it immediately. And that's the thing about Oxford — it grabs you once you visit, and you're walking around this beautiful architecture surrounded by deep, deep history. They don't even know exactly how old the university is. It's over 800 years old. When Oxford was founded, the Aztec Empire hadn't even reached its peak." — Jonathan on falling in love with Oxford in 2016. "There were riots. There was full scale urban warfare in Oxford in 1355 — the St. Scholastica's Day riot. 63 scholars and 30 townspeople were killed. As a result, the town was forced to pay annual reparations to the university in a formal ceremony that continued into the Victorian era." — Jonathan on Oxford's violent town vs. gown history. "You basically get to live as an Oxford student for a week. Morning is lectures, afternoon is tours and excursions, evening is formal dinner in the Great Hall. And one night you're invited to high table — suit and tie, port, mingling with the professors. It's a very quintessentially British experience." — Jonathan on the Oxford Experience programme. "I've never gotten out of the Norrington Room without spending several hundred pounds. Let me just say that. Five miles of shelving underground beneath Trinity College. So many books." — Jonathan on Blackwell's legendary underground bookshop. "The Pitt Rivers Museum is like the Victorian cabinet of curiosities. Dimly lit, quiet — maybe people don't even know it's there. Polynesian canoes, samurai outfits, weapons, armour. A strange and wonderful melange of human culture from all over the world." — Jonathan on one of Oxford's most atmospheric museums. "If you're in Oxford and you don't go to Blenheim Palace, you've wasted a trip to Oxford. It's the only non-royal, non-episcopal palace in England. I would argue it's probably the greatest house in Britain. And a bus from Oxford drops you right at the gates." — Jonathan on Blenheim Palace. "By four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the tour buses are gone. And it's just you and the people who live and work and study in Oxford. Oxford becomes a completely different place. That's when the cultural life wakes up." — Jonathan's key Oxford overnight hack. "Scriptum on Turl Street — if you're a bookish type, you will love this place. Beautiful blank books, journals, diaries, fancy pens. I have a beautiful leather book from there with gorgeous cream pages that I cherish so much I haven't written anything in it. I'm afraid to ruin it." — Jonathan on his favourite hidden gem shop in Oxford. ⠀ Chapters 00:00 Introduction — Jonathan sets up the Oxford guide episode and plugs his Oxford guidebook 01:48 Jonathan's Relationship with Oxford — Brideshead Revisited, American universities, and the Oxford DNA in US campus culture 03:30 First Visit: Oxford 2012 — Diamond Jubilee trip, an angry toddler, and the ring road at midnight 06:20 Second Visit: Oxford 2016 — The train from Paddington, the proper day, and falling in love properly 08:42 A Brief History of Oxford — Ford of the Oxen, Alfred the Great, Henry II, 800 years, and the St. Scholastica's Day riot 13:30 The University Explained — 44 colleges, town vs. gown, the founding of Cambridge by Oxford exiles, and Oxford today 16:10 How to Get There — Train from Paddington, Oxford Tube bus, direct from Heathrow, and why not to drive 19:30 Getting Around Oxford — Walking, taxis, park-and-ride pitfalls, and Tolkien's grave 21:10 Day Trip vs. Overnight — Why staying beats leaving, and how Oxford transforms after 4pm 23:40 The Oxford Experience Programme — Christchurch, Worcester College, the Nelson course, high table, and the Enigma course Jonathan wants to do next 33:15 Accommodation Options — Hotels, staying in colleges out of term time, and the Randolph (Inspector Morse's pub) 35:20 The College System Explained — 44 semi-independent colleges, how to apply, porters, scouts, and visiting hours 38:00 Must-See Colleges — Christchurch, Magdalen, Worcester, Merton, Wadham (Brideshead), and the peculiar All Souls 43:00 The Bodleian Library — Five buildings, Duke Humphrey's Library, the Radcliffe Camera, the Divinity School, and why you must book a tour 47:00 Radcliffe Square & St. Mary's Church Tower — The most beautiful urban space in Britain and the best views in Oxford 48:40 The Ashmolean Museum — Britain's first public museum, the Alfred Jewel, Guy Fawkes's lantern, Turner paintings, and it's free 51:00 The Pitt Rivers Museum — Through the Natural History Museum, the shrunken heads, Polynesian canoes, and the Victorian cabinet of curiosities 53:00 Carfax Tower, Oxford Castle & Prison, and the Covered Market — Views, ruins, Brown's Café, and Ben's Cookies 55:30 The Botanic Garden & Broad Street — Riverside walks, the Martyrs' Cross, and the Reformation in Oxford 56:30 Shopping in Oxford — The High Street, Blackwell's, the Norrington Room, OUP Bookshop, Scriptum, The Last Bookshop, and why to skip the Harry Potter tat 01:03:00 Literary Oxford — Lewis Carroll, Tolkien, C.S.

Aside from the great music, his story is one of the importance and challenge of finding your community amidst these difficult times. Said challenge is not a destination, it's a journey. One that we're all still on. Please welcome to the show, Black Guy Fawkes. 

The Plymouth Company was chartered by King James in 1606 with responsibility for colonizing the northern east coast of America. The merchants agreed to finance the settlers’ trip in return for repayment of their expenses plus interest out of the profits made. The Plymouth Company established the Popham Colony, in present-day Maine, the northern answer to the previously discussed Jamestown Colony, founded by the Virginia Company of London. The Popham Colony was named for its chief investor and Lord Chief Justice of England Sir John Popham who presided over the trials of Sir Walter Raleigh and the conspirators of the Gunpowder Plot, including Guy Fawkes.

Daniel Villalobos repasa la historia de “V de Vendetta” a dos décadas de su estreno. Desde el cómic original basado en la Inglaterra de Margaret Thatcher hasta el rechazo de su creador a las adaptaciones cinematográficas. El propio Alan Moore no quiso nada con la película de las hermanas Wachowski, que popularizó la máscara de Guy Fawkes convirtiéndola en un símbolo de protesta.

Guy Fawkes (/fɔːks/; 13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606),[a] also known as Guido Fawkes while fighting for the Spanish, was a member of a group of provincial English Catholics involved in the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. He was born and educated in York; his father died when Fawkes was eight years old, after which his mother married a recusant Catholic. Fawkes converted to Catholicism and left for mainland Europe, where he fought for Catholic Spain in the Eighty Years' War against Protestant Dutch reformers in the Low Countries. He travelled to Spain to seek support for a Catholic rebellion in England without success. He later met Thomas Wintour, with whom he returned to England. Wintour introduced him to Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. The plotters leased an undercroft beneath the House of Lords; Fawkes was placed in charge of the gunpowder that they stockpiled there. The authorities were prompted by an anonymous letter to search Westminster Palace during the early hours of 5 November, and they found Fawkes guarding the explosives. He was questioned and tortured over the next few days and confessed to wanting to blow up the House of Lords.

In this thrilling episode of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson recounts an adventure that takes place on Guy Fawkes Day. The story begins with the historical significance of the day and transitions into a mysterious visit from Mr. James Stewart, who fears for his life due to threats from his cousin. As Holmes investigates, they uncover a plot involving gunpowder and a sinister plan to murder Mr. Stewart. The narrative unfolds with suspenseful twists, leading to a dramatic climax on the rooftops of London, where the true intentions of the characters are revealed. The episode concludes with reflections on the events and the enduring legacy of the Gunpowder Plot.Most mysteries stem from simple ideas—like a childhood joke or a familiar name. But what if that childhood prank spirals into a deadly, elaborate plot involving a tunnel, stolen dummies, and a century-old conspiracy? Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson unravel a twisted murder scheme that combines Guy Fawkes' historic gunpowder plot with modern-day danger—right on Guy Fawkes Day.In this gripping episode, you'll discover how a secret tunnel and staged disguises nearly turned into a catastrophe. Holmes leverages his legendary attention to detail, unpicking clues like a silk strip with a wire ring and a fake dummy to expose a murderer's carefully crafted revenge plot. We break down the deliberate use of historical symbolism, with ties to the 1605 gunpowder conspiracy, revealing how ancient plots influence contemporary crime.We explore Holmes' unique methods: turning disguises into investigative tools, utilizing the Baker Street Irregulars effectively, and decoding symbolic gestures—like Falconby's falconry-themed accessories—that unveil the truth. Dr. Watson offers insights into his own experience of the case, revealing how Holmes' deduction skills turn seemingly insignificant clues into life-saving revelations.Why does it matter? Neglecting the nuances of disguise, symbolism, and historical context leaves vital evidence undiscovered—making crimes easier for cunning villains to pull off. Holmes' approach demonstrates the importance of patience, knowledge, and a detective's instinct to see beyond the surface—transforming suspicion into certainty.Perfect for fans of clever mysteries, historical intrigue, and masterful deduction, this episode highlights why Holmes remains the ultimate detective. Whether you're a casual listener or a devoted sleuth, you'll walk away with tricks to sharpen your own investigative skills—and a new appreciation for the timeless art of deduction.Join us as Holmes exposes a deadly game where history repeats itself—reminding us that some treason and plots are never forgotten, only reshaped by those who dare to repeat them.

American psychiatrist Stephen B. Karpman coined this social model of human interaction in 1968. It describes the roles that we take on in unbalanced social relations. Relations which lead us to take one of three roles within Karpman's triangle. These are three roles in Karpman's triangle. These are the victim, the persecutor and the saviour. And the role we take on unconsciously leads someone else to take on one of the others. Let's take the role of the victim. If I consider myself as a victim, I'm going to tend to blame my hardships on a persecutor, who I consider responsible for my misfortune or pain. What are the roles in the Karpman triangle then? What's the point of this whole theory? How does one escape from this infuriating triangle then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

La conspiration des poudres de 1605 est l'un des attentats politiques les plus célèbres de l'histoire britannique. Un projet radical : faire exploser le Parlement anglais pour décapiter le pouvoir d'un seul coup. Nous sommes dans l'Angleterre du début du XVIIᵉ siècle, sous le règne du roi Jacques Ier.Pour comprendre, il faut revenir au contexte religieux. Depuis la Réforme, l'Angleterre est officiellement protestante. Les catholiques, minoritaires, subissent une série de restrictions : amendes pour ceux qui refusent d'assister au culte anglican, exclusion de certaines fonctions, suspicion permanente. Beaucoup espèrent qu'avec Jacques Ier — qui succède à Élisabeth Iʳᵉ en 1603 — les tensions vont s'apaiser. Mais le roi maintient une politique dure.C'est dans ce climat qu'un petit groupe de catholiques anglais décide de passer à l'action. Leur chef est Robert Catesby, noble charismatique et déterminé. Le plan est simple et terrifiant : stocker des barils de poudre sous la Chambre des Lords, puis les faire exploser le jour de l'ouverture du Parlement, quand le roi, les lords et les représentants seront réunis. L'idée n'est pas seulement de tuer : c'est de provoquer un choc national, puis de rétablir un pouvoir catholique.Pour mettre ce plan en œuvre, les conspirateurs louent un local puis une cave proche du Parlement. Ils parviennent à accumuler 36 barils de poudre. Pour surveiller et déclencher l'explosion, ils recrutent un homme : Guy Fawkes, soldat ayant combattu en Europe, et surtout spécialiste des explosifs.Mais le complot échoue à la dernière minute. Le 26 octobre 1605, une lettre anonyme avertit un lord catholique de ne pas se rendre au Parlement. L'information remonte aux autorités. Dans la nuit du 4 au 5 novembre, les gardes fouillent les sous-sols. Ils trouvent Guy Fawkes avec des allumettes et du matériel pour enflammer la mèche.Fawkes est arrêté, torturé, puis finit par avouer. Les conspirateurs sont traqués. La plupart sont tués ou capturés. Ceux qui survivent sont condamnés à la peine la plus terrible : pendaison, éviscération et démembrement.L'échec du complot a un impact immense : il renforce la méfiance contre les catholiques pendant des générations. Et paradoxalement, Guy Fawkes devient une figure mythique. Chaque 5 novembre, l'Angleterre commémore toujours cet événement : “Remember, remember the Fifth of November…”. Hébergé par Acast.

A key figure and major promoter of the English colonization of New England was Pioneering colonist Ferdinando Gorges (1565-1647), a British naval, military commander, and investor in the Popham Colony. His early involvement in English trade with and settlement of America as well as his efforts in founding the Province of Maine earned him the title of the "Father of English Colonization in America," even though he never set foot in the New World. The Plymouth Company was chartered by King James in 1606 with responsibility for colonizing the northern east coast of America. The merchants agreed to finance the settlers’ trip in return for repayment of their expenses plus interest out of the profits made. The Plymouth Company established the Popham Colony, in present-day Maine, the northern answer to the previously discussed Jamestown Colony, founded by the Virginia Company of London. The Popham Colony was named for its chief investor and Lord Chief Justice of England Sir John Popham who presided over the trials of Sir Walter Raleigh and the conspirators of the Gunpowder Plot, including Guy Fawkes.

This episode traces the real story of Guy Fawkes, from Robert Catesby's radical plot to the brutal aftermath that shaped Britain's most famous annual ritual.

This week, Sabrina is on location at the legendary Guy Fawkes Inn in York, one of England's most haunted cities and the birthplace of the notorious rebel himself. Surrounded by crooked medieval architecture and history practically breathing down her neck, she dives into Guy Fawkes' explosive life and tragic end while sitting just steps away from where it all began. But the real chills come from the inn's paranormal residents. In the infamous Belfry Suite, guests report children running through empty rooms and waking up violently ill at 3 a.m., while staff casually recount having their hair yanked by unseen hands. Sabrina gathers firsthand stories of paranormal activity that has kept this place legendary for centuries. Plus, we've got a listener story from “Dr. Ghost,” who has a PhD in ghost beliefs.

'Remember, remember the fifth of November…'. For more than 400 years, the Gunpowder Plot has been etched into Britain's memory. In the final episode of our series on the plot, Danny Bird speaks to John Cooper to trace how the failed conspiracy has been commemorated with sermons, bonfires and fireworks.

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts don their Guy Fawkes masks and look back at V for Vendetta, 20 years after its premiere. What began as a cautionary tale about authoritarian control, surveillance, and manufactured fear feels eerily prophetic two decades later. The crew revisits the Wachowskis-produced classic, exploring how its themes of rebellion, censorship, and identity hit harder in today's world than ever before. From Hugo Weaving's chillingly poetic performance to Natalie Portman's transformation as Evey Hammond, we reflect on how the film's dystopian vision has crept frighteningly close to reality—and why V for Vendetta remains a timeless rallying cry for freedom and truth.

On 5 November 1605, Guy Fawkes became infamous not for what he achieved, but for what he failed to do: kill King James VI & I and bring down the British parliament. But what if the Gunpowder Plot had been successful? How would it have reshaped Britain, Europe and even the wider world? And would Shakespeare have written 'Guy Fawkes' instead of 'Macbeth'?In this special episode Professor Suzannah Lipscomb explores one of history's most tantalising "what ifs" with a panel of historians: Jessie Childs, Gareth Russell and Professor Anna Whitelock.Mary I: What If She'd Lived?Gunpowder Plot: Tudor OriginsPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

In November 1605, a group of religious radicals attempted to assassinate King James I, the man they deemed responsible for their oppression. Guy Fawkes was meant to light the fuse, bringing the Houses of Parliament down in a catastrophic explosion. He failed.   But what drove him and the other plotters to this drastic action?  In this re-released episode, hear from curators Charles Farris, Alden Gregory, and Brett Dolman, as they discuss the context of religious persecution and political discontent that led to the Gunpowder Plot.   Discover more about Guys Fawkes and the Tower of London.

Guy Fawkes, the man behind the iconic rhyme has just failed to light the fuse of the Gunpowder Plot, one of the most notable plots in British history.   In this second episode of our two-part series, Curators Charles Farris, Brett Dolman and Alden Gregory talk through the failure of the plot and what relevance this has to us today. Why do we still celebrate it? 

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Remember, remember, the 5th of November... which was yesterday. Can't be that hard to remember yesterday, right?

History remembers Guy Fawkes as the man who tried—and failed—to blow up Parliament. But the real story is bigger, bloodier, and far more explosive. In this Bonfire Night episode, Ben Thompson is joined by Samuel Datta to tell the tale of a soldier turned saboteur, a plot fueled by faith and fury, and how one man's failure became one of the most famous nights in British history.  Remember, remember the 5th of November...

In Episode 211 of The Alan Sanders Show, Alan dissects yesterday's off-year election "wins" for Democrats, gubernatorial flips in Virginia and New Jersey, a socialist NYC mayor and California's gerrymander grab. Using 2024 Trump vs. Harris vote data, he exposes these as far-left echo chamber echoes, not a real resurgence. Trump pushes GOP to nuke the filibuster amid shutdown chaos for funding and reforms, showing how crucial this is in achieving Trump's America First agenda. Plus, illegal alien deportation surge, with over 2.2 million already self-deporting and over 650K in custody who are set for removal by the end of 2025. And, being November 5th, Alan closes with a nod to a very old poem and the tale of Guy Fawkes. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

“Remember, remember the Fifth of November…” It's one of the most famous rhymes in English history, but behind the fireworks and bonfires lies a night of terror, faith, and betrayal that almost changed the course of Britain forever. On 5th November 1605, guards discovered Guy Fawkes in the cellars beneath the Palace of Westminster, surrounded by 36 barrels of gunpowder. His mission? To blow up King James I, the royal family, and Parliament in one devastating explosion. In this podcast, I uncover the gripping true story of the Gunpowder Plot — how religious tension, persecution, and broken promises drove a group of young English Catholics, led by Robert Catesby, to plan the ultimate act of treason, and how it all started in Elizabeth i's reign. Discover how: - A secret undercroft was filled with gunpowder right beneath the Lords chamber - A mysterious letter betrayed the plotters' plan - And how one night's failure created centuries of tradition, from Bonfire Night to the cry of “Remember, remember the Fifth of November!” Recommended Reading & Viewing: – God's Traitors by Jessie Childs – Gunpowder (BBC/HBO mini-series, starring Kit Harington) #GuyFawkes #GunpowderPlot #BonfireNight #JamesI #RobertCatesby #TudorHistory #OnThisDay #ClaireRidgway #AnneBoleynFiles #HistoryExplained #EarlyStuartHistory #TreasonAndPlot  

Science correspondent Allan Blackman takes this Guy Fawkes opportunity to talk about the chemistry behind fireworks? What makes them go bang and where do the colours come from? Could sharper knives be the secret to stopping onion tears in the kitchen? And America's Health Secretary RFK wants to put saturated fat back on the menu, but what does science have to say about that? Allan Blackman is a Professor of Chemistry, School of Science, Auckland University of Technology.

The SPCA is renewing its call for a nationwide ban on the private sale and use of fireworks, ahead of Guy Fawkes tomorrow. Scientific Officer Alison Vaughan spoke to Corin Dann.

Producer/Host: R.W. Estela Hi, I'm RW Estela: Since 1991, I've been presenting A Word in Edgewise, WERU's longest-running short feature, a veritable almanac of worldly and heavenly happenings, a confluence of 21st-century life in its myriad manifestations, international and domestic, cosmopolitan and rural, often revealing, as the French say, the more things change, the more they stay the same — though not always! Sometimes in addressing issues affecting our day-to-day lives, in this age of vagary and ambiguity, when chronological time is punctuated elliptically, things can quickly turn edgy and controversial, as we search for understanding amid our dialectic. Tune in Monday mornings at 7:30 a.m. for an exciting journey through space and time with a few notable birthdays thrown in for good measure during A Word in Edgewise . . . About the host: RW Estela was raised as a first-generation American in Colorado by a German mother and a Corsican-Basque father who would become a three-war veteran for the US Army, so RW was naturally a military brat and later engaged in various Vietnam-era civil-service adventures before paying his way through college by skiing for the University of Colorado, playing Boulder coffeehouses, and teaching. He has climbed all of Colorado's Fourteeners; found work as an FAA-certificated commercial pilot, a California-licensed building contractor, a publishing editor, a practitioner of Aikido, and a college professor of English; among his many interdisciplinary pursuits are the design and building of Terrell Residence Library (recently renamed the Terrell House Permaculture Living & Learning Center at the University of Maine), writing Building It In Two Languages (a bilingual dictionary of construction terminology), aerial photo documentation of two dam removals (Great Works and Veazie) on the Penobscot River, and once a week since 1991 drafting an installment of A Word In Edgewise, his essay series addressing issues affecting our day-to-day lives — and WERU's oldest continuous short feature. When pandemics do not interfere, he does the Triple Crown of Maine open-water ocean swims (Peaks to Portland, Islesboro Crossing, and Nubble Light Challenge) and the Whitewater Downriver Point Series of the Maine Canoe and Kayak Racing Organization. RW is the father of two and the grandfather of three and lives with his partner Kathleen of 37 years and their two Maine Coons in Orono. The post A Word in Edgewise 11/3/25: Thomas Hood, Tuesday's Vote, Guy Fawkes, & the Hunter's Moon . . . first appeared on WERU 89.9 FM Blue Hill, Maine Local News and Public Affairs Archives.

We know the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 failed – but what if it hadn't? What if Guy Fawkes had ignited the gunpowder under parliament, killing the king, nobles and bishops, and reducing Westminster to rubble? In the penultimate episode of our series on the plot, Danny Bird speaks to historian John Cooper to consider an alternative course in Britain's history. Could a child queen have become a puppet for a restored Catholic kingdom? Might foreign powers have intervened, and could Britain and Ireland have descended into religious civil war? ––––– GO BEYOND THE PODCAST Want to know more about the Gunpowder Plot?

Every November, London flares with fireworks and half-forgotten history. London Walks Capo David traces the story behind the rhyme – Guy Fawkes, the Gunpowder Plot, and the strange endurance of a failed revolution. From the haunted cellars beneath Parliament to the Tower's shadowed ramparts, the ghosts of 1605 still stir. The gunpowder never exploded, but its charge is still humming under London's stones.

"Remember, remember, the 5th of November; Gunpowder, treason and plot; I see no reason why gunpowder, treason; should ever be forgot." Every year, people across the United Kingdom light fireworks and bonfires to commemorate the events of November 5th, 1605. Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night celebrates the capture of Fawkes (1570-1606), who was apprehended under the British Houses of Parliament with 36 barrels of gunpowder, fuses and matches, planning to blow up King James I and his entire Parliament, which would have severely altered the course of British North America.

In the autumn of 1605, Robert Catesby and Guy Fawkes led a desperate band of Catholic gentlemen in one of history's most daring conspiracies. Having smuggled 36 barrels of gunpowder beneath the Palace of Westminster, their plan was to blow up James VI & I, along with the majority of England's Protestant elite, paving the way for the restoration of Catholicism. In this first episode of our four-part series on the plot, Danny Bird speaks to historian John Cooper to uncover a world of persecution, espionage and faith-driven extremism. They unfurl the conspirators' bold plan and interrogate the powerful spy networks of late Elizabethan and early Jacobean England that set the scene for an explosive act of treason. ––––– GO BEYOND THE PODCAST Want to know more about the Gunpowder Plot?
