We are proud to welcome Rock PR veteran Sharon Chevin who has been in the music business for more than 4 decades. What began as a deep love for rock music became a sustaining career which has taken her around the world and helped her forge friendships with some of the biggest artists on the planet. These days, Sharon manages prog rock legends Yes (and she wants me to remind everyone that Aurora is out now) and Steve Hackett (she teases his new collaboration with Marillion's Steve Rothery) but has worked with and hung around some of the biggest stars of all time. Her stories are amazing and funny as she shares how Alice Cooper will work a 14 hour day as long as you give him a couple of hours to shop. Hear how she had to convince hotel staff in Germany that she needed corn flakes for Tom Petty and George Harrison at 1 AM. She talks going to see a new band at Hammersmith called U2 with Pete Townshend and Bruce Springsteen. Mostly, Sharon lets us know that most of the top talent are marvelous people who are great to work with. But not all of them are and she drops a couple of names onto the jerk list. But mostly we hear about how Chris Squire invited her to stay with his family after an earthquake or how John Lord would always drop by her local pub for a glass of wine when he was in town. She admits she fell in love with Billy Idol the moment she met him and how Bryan Adams talked her out of getting Bonnie Raitt's picture taken with Madonna. We're just glad Sharon is still doing PR for bands we love and that she's still sharing her stories of her rock n roll odyssey.

In 1954, hundreds of Glasgow schoolchildren armed with makeshift weapons stormed the Southern Necropolis, hunting a towering, iron-toothed vampire they believed had already claimed two victims.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/GorbalsVampireREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4xtvswmmFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: What caused hundreds of Scottish children in the 1950s to suddenly become vampire hunters? (The Gorbals Vampire) *** Over the years, from ancient to more modern times there have been a number of incredible cases of mass hysteria. Some are so unbelievable it's difficult to understand how they happened at all. (Ancient Cases of Mass Hysteria) *** Zachary Davis had a history of mental disturbance, but no one could have predicted the horrors he was truly capable of. (The Disturbing Story of Zachary Davis) *** When poor travelers are found dead in the frozen winter, could it be that there is something more to their story? Could they have been killed not by the cold, but by a demon of the snow? (Demon of the Snow) *** Southwest of Tombstone, Arizona are the remains of a simple adobe cabin nicknamed ‘the bloodiest cabin in Arizona'. (Brunkow's Cabin) *** Oscar Beckwith was a hermit who lived in the woods, in a small, squalid shack with no furnishings but a bunk, two stools, and a stove… on which he cooked human flesh.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2019Weird Darkness moves from a 1950s Scottish vampire panic and centuries of mass hysteria through a Tennessee teenager's matricide, the vengeful Japanese snow demon Yuki-Onna, the bloodiest cabin in the Arizona desert, and a New York hermit who cooked the man he murdered.It opens on the evening of September 23, 1954, when hundreds of schoolchildren poured into the Southern Necropolis cemetery in the Gorbals district of Glasgow, Scotland, armed with sharpened stakes and knives to hunt a creature they called the vampire with iron teeth, blamed for abducting and killing two missing boys. Police could not clear the children from among the headstones, and only the rain finally drove them home, though the hunt resumed over the next two days. Although no children were actually missing, newspapers and Parliament blamed American horror comics such as Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror, a panic that drew in Labour MP Alice Cullen and led to the 1955 Children and Young Persons (Harmful Publications) Act, while others traced the iron-toothed monster to the Book of Daniel or to the Glasgow Green bogeywoman Jenny Wee. From the Gorbals the episode widens into centuries of mass hysteria: the first recorded case on an Egyptian papyrus dated to 1990 BC, children in a 1676 Dutch orphanage who barked and crawled like dogs, the 1374 dancing plague known as choreomania that seized the German town of Aachen, the Swedish witch panic of 1664 to 1676 and its children flown to the devil's meadow of Blakula, and French convent nuns who meowed in unison until soldiers threatened them with rods. The same survey takes in the 1630 poisoning terror of Milan that sent the barber Mora to torture and execution, the 1771 Okage Mairi pilgrimage that drew five million Japanese to the Ise Grand Shrine of Amaterasu Omikami, Richard A. Locke's 1835 Great Moon Hoax describing winged bat-men called Vespertilio-homo in the New York Sun, the Salem witch trials of 1692 that hanged nineteen people after the slave Tituba's confession, and the Hammersmith ghost of 1804 that ended when Francis Smith shot the plasterer Thomas Millwood dead in the dark.From there the focus shifts to Sumner County, Tennessee, where on August 10, 2012, fifteen-year-old Zachary Davis killed his sleeping mother, Melanie, striking her nearly twenty times with a sledgehammer he had carried up from the basement, acting on what he believed was the voice of his dead father. His father, Chris, had died of ALS in 2007, after which Vanderbilt psychiatrist Dr. Bradley Freeman diagnosed the boy with schizophrenia and depression before Melanie pulled him out of therapy. After the killing Davis doused the family game room in whiskey and gasoline and set it ablaze to kill his sixteen-year-old brother Josh, who woke to a smoke alarm and escaped while Davis fled on foot and was found roughly ten miles away. He told investigators he felt nothing when he killed her, laughed during a televised interview with Dr. Phil McGraw as he described the weapon and the wet sound it made, and was sentenced to life in prison after Judge D. David Gay told him he had gone to the dark side, with parole possible only after fifty-one years.Next the episode crosses into Japanese folklore and Yuki-Onna, the Lady of the Snow, a vengeful Onryo spirit said to have begun as a pregnant woman left to freeze in a mountain storm and to return on snowy nights as a tall, pale figure with blue lips and long black hair who floats over the drifts without leaving footprints. Her most famous tale follows two woodcutters, the old Mosaku and the young Minokichi, who shelter in a mountain hut where Yuki-Onna breathes a killing cold over Mosaku but spares Minokichi on the condition that he never speak of her. Years later Minokichi marries a woman named Oyuki who never seems to age, and when he finally recounts his strange night in the hut, Oyuki reveals that she is the snow demon herself and vanishes, sparing his life only for the sake of their children.After that the episode turns to the desert of Cochise County, southwest of Tombstone, Arizona, where the ruined adobe Brunckow Cabin earned its reputation as the bloodiest cabin in Arizona through at least twenty-one deaths. The German miner Frederick Brunckow built it in 1858 to work a San Pedro silver claim and was murdered there by his own laborers, killed with a rock drill driven into his abdomen alongside the chemist John Moss and the miner James Williams. The owners who followed met similar ends: Milton Duffield, the first U.S. Marshal of Arizona Territory, was shot dead at the cabin by James T. Holmes during an eviction, N.M. Rogers was killed by Apaches, and five thieves who hid there gunned one another down in a quarrel over stolen loot. Ed Scheifelin used the cabin as a base camp in 1877 before he founded and named nearby Tombstone, and visitors today report an apparition that fades when approached and the phantom sound of mining machinery drifting through the ruins.The episode closes with Oscar Beckwith, a seventy-two-year-old hermit living in a squalid shack in Austerlitz, New York, who on January 10, 1882, killed his mining partner Simon Vanderkoek over a soured gold claim near Alford, Massachusetts, then dismembered and cooked the body. A neighbor named Harrison Calkins smelled burning flesh at the shack and was told Beckwith was only frying pork rinds, but he returned the next day to find the mutilated remains, a blood-stained axe, and charred bones in the stove. Beckwith fled to Canada and evaded capture until the detective J.B. Gildersleeve tracked him to Bracebridge, Ontario, in 1885, by which time rumor had branded him the Cannibal of Austerlitz. Six trials sent him to the gallows in Hudson, New York, on March 1, 1888, where at seventy-eight he became both the oldest man and the last person hanged in the state, struggling at the end of the rope for eighteen minutes before he died.

In this episode we welcome Lloyd Bradley back to Hammersmith to discuss his monumental new tome Funk Is Its Own Reward. We ask our guest about what he describes as "Black America's second great cultural revolution" before learning of his own first awareness of funk as a new musical form. After we consider the parts played in the movement's evolution by James Brown, Earth Wind & Fire and Kool & the Gang, we get to George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic, whose mind-blowing "P-Funk Earth Tour" of America celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Clips from a rare audio interview with Betty Davis prompt our combined thoughts on the cult funk-rock queen who married Miles Davis and helped him fly his freak flag by turning him on to Sly Stone and Jimi Hendrix. After William discusses newly-added library pieces about the Beatles (1962) and a Marc Almond convention at London's Heaven (1986), Jasper revisits a live review of Bruno ('Uptown Funk') Mars from 2017.

In this episode, Dr. Lorne Brown speaks with consultant urologist Jonathan Ramsay about the overlooked role of sperm health in fertility, miscarriage, IVF outcomes, and men's long-term health. They explore why a standard semen analysis often misses key issues, how sperm DNA quality can affect conception, and why lifestyle, environmental exposures, oxidative stress, varicocele, age, and metabolic health all matter before trying to conceive. Jonathan also explains how male fertility can act as an early warning sign for broader health concerns, including cardiovascular and metabolic issues. Together, they unpack the growing research on sperm DNA fragmentation, environmental toxins, and practical strategies couples can use to improve fertility outcomes naturally and alongside IVF treatment.Key Takeaways:Male fertility is often a marker of overall men's health.A “normal” semen analysis does not always mean sperm quality is optimal.Sperm DNA fragmentation may contribute to unexplained infertility and miscarriage.Lifestyle changes may take 5–8 months to show full improvement in sperm health.Environmental toxins, plastics, smoking, heat, alcohol, and weight can affect sperm quality.Where to find Mr. Jonathan Ramsay:Website: https://jonathanramsay.co.uk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ5n0L0732L1MPMGJtVEliQ Mr. Jonathan Ramsay's Bio:Jonathan Ramsay is a Consultant Urologist who has specialized in male fertility for more than 30 years. Since 1988, he has worked at Hammersmith, Charing Cross, and Chelsea & Westminster Hospitals in the UK, collaborating closely with leading fertility clinics across London and surrounding regions. He also holds an honorary contract at Imperial College and was named Visiting Professor at Ulster University in 2025.His research focuses on male infertility, including sperm DNA quality, inflammation in the reproductive tract, the microbiome, azoospermia, varicocele repair, vasectomy reversal, and advanced sperm testing.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniú an ceathrú lá is fiche de mhi Bealtaine, Is mise Gwyneth Nic Aidicín Ni LoinsighThascar Iosrael an Cabhlachán Domhanda Sumud in uiscí idirnáisiúnta arís i rith na seachtaine. Bhí 50 bád agus níos mó ná 400 gníomhaí páirteach sa chabhlachán, ag déanamh iarracht nua cúnamh a thabhairt go Gaza tar éis tascartha ó Israel ar an misean roimhe seo. Bhí ar a laghad dháréag saoránach Éireannach páirteach sa chabhlacán, an Dochtúir Margaret Connolly, deirfiúir le hUachtarán na hÉireann Catherine Connolly san áireamh. Cuireadh físeán ar líne a thaispeáin na coinníollacha uafásacha ina bhfuil na gníomhaí á gcoimeád. San fhíseán, tá Aire Slándálal Náisiúnta Iosrael, Itamar Ben-Gvir, le feiceáil, agus é ag déanamh trasnáil agus magadh orthu, rud a tharraing cáineadh ó oifigigh agus cinn stáit timpeall an domhain. Luaigh ionadaí ón gcabhlachán go bhfuil na coinníollacha céanna, agus níos measa fiú, á bhfulaingt ag na Pailistínigh agus gur chóir rialtais an domhain bearta níos láidre a thógáil i gcoinne Iosrael.Thug an tUachtarán Catherine Connolly an chéad chuairt oifigiúil ar an Ríocht Aontaithe i ról an Uachtaráin i rith na seachtaine. Thosaigh sí le cuairt ar an Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith, áit ar bhuail sí le polaiteoirí agus ionadaithe cultúir agus ealaíne de chuid na hÉireann i Londain, baill de Chonradh na Gaeilge i Londain san áireamh. Labhair sí faoin imirce stairiúil ó Éirinn go Sasana, agus an tionchar leathan ag daoine Éireannacha ar thionscal agus ar chultúr na Breataine. Luaigh sí cúiseanna eacnamaíocha agus an géarchéim tithíochta mar phríomhchúis leis an ardú is déanaí ar an imirce idir an dá thír le blianta beaga anuas. Ag céilliúradh cultúr Gaelach, dúirt sí freisin gur chóir d'Éireannaigh a bheith bródúil as cultúir eile a chuimsiú agus gan iad a fheiceáil mar bhagairt. Thug sí cuairt ar Phálas Buckingham ina dhiaidh sin agus thug sí cuireadh don Rí Séarlas cuairt a thabhairt ar Éirinn an bhliain seo chugainn. Lean an turas le stop ag Seó na mBláthanna in Chelsea agus cuairt ar an London Irish Centre i gCeamdain. Ansin, thaistil sí go Leeds le haghaidh cuairt ar Ollscoil Leeds agus an Leeds Irish Centre chun críoch a chur leis an turas.Bhuaigh Arsenal Príomhshraith Shasana Dé Máirt, den chéad uair ó bhí 2004 ann. Tháinig an bua nuair a chríochnaigh cluiche idir Manchester City agus Bournemouth ar comhscór. Bhí Manchester city sa dara háit sa tsraith ó thaobh pointí de agus bhí orthu bua a bhaint amach sa chluiche sin le bheith ábalta an ceann is fearr a fháil ar Arsenal sa bhabhta deireanach den tsraith. Níor bhain agus bhuaigh Arsenal an tsraith gan an cluiche deireanach a imirt. Bhí céilliúradh ar siúl trasna Londan ar an oíche, sa Tuaisceart go háirithe, áit dúchais na Gunners. Is í an Phríomhshraith an duais is airde i sacar Sasanach agus seo an ceathrú uair déag go bhfuil sé buaite ag Arsenal riamh. Beidh Arsenal ag iarraidh a rath a leanúint le bua i Sraith na Seaimpíní ag deireadh na míosa, den chéad uair i stair an chlub. Tarlóidh cluiche ceannais Shraith na Seaimpíní i gcoinne Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest ar an tríochadú lá de Mhí na Bealtaine.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

In this podcast, we look at The Publicity Photograph from the fifth radio series.The sepia-tinted triumvirate consider how this is another episode starting round the breakfast table and discuss Kenneth Williams's brilliant portrayal of Hillary St. Clair. The team discuss the rest of the cast and, in particular, Bill's excellent portrayal of his more witless character.

We continue our live panel discussion, recorded at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, with Jonathan and his inner circle group of experienced dealmakers. This isn't about tactics, it's about mindset. Because the real challenge in business acquisition isn't finding deals, it's what's happening in your head. Most people think success in acquisitions comes down to: • The right sector • The right deal • The right timing But the truth? You are the biggest variable in the entire process. Your thinking. Your habits. Your willingness to let go. This episode explores what changes when you stop working in the business… and start thinking like an acquirer. Why business buying is a mental game first • Your mindset shapes how you negotiate, source deals, and make decisions • Confidence and self-perception matter more than technical knowledge • The biggest breakthroughs come from changing how you think, not what you do The founder trap (and how to escape it) · Why building from scratch can cost you years of time, stress, and missed opportunities · How acquisitions can accelerate growth instantly · The hard truth: many founders realise too late they took the long route How to stop being the bottleneck in your own business · Why your name is probably in every box on the org chart · The cost of holding onto control · Practical ways to step back and build a leadership team One powerful idea: If you're not doing the one thing you're world-class at, you're losing money. The mindset shift around delegation · Why letting go feels uncomfortable (and often irrational) · The real reason you resist paying others to do tasks · How to value your time properly A simple but confronting example: If your time is worth £500+ per hour, why are you doing £120/hour tasks? Building a business that runs without you · How experienced dealmakers structure their time · Why some owners are almost invisible inside their own companies · The difference between owning a business and running one Fear vs ego: what's really holding you back? · Why most people don't delegate (and it's not what they think) · The hidden fear of losing control and not knowing how to recover · How self-awareness becomes a competitive advantage What happens when you lose everything One of the most powerful moments in this episode: A dealmaker shares how they lost everything… And rebuilt it all in just 64 days. The lesson? Skills and mindset are more valuable than money. Once you know how to create value, you can do it again. Why your peer group matters more than you think · The difference between personal friends and professional peers · How being around the right people stretches your thinking · Why growth often requires changing your environment The long-term game: hunter vs hunted · Why acquisitions allow you to leverage years of someone else's work · How to build a group of businesses strategically · When to switch from buying… to becoming the asset others want Key takeaway You don't build wealth by working harder inside a business. You build it by: • Letting go • Thinking bigger • Leveraging people, systems, and acquisitions And most importantly… Becoming a different person in the process.

Twelve years ago, the Hammersmith Chess Club in London was down to fewer than 20 members and facing an uncertain future. Today, thanks to committed volunteers, a welcoming culture, and the broader boom in chess, it's the largest chess club in London, and was recently named ECF Chess Club of the Year. I'm joined by Hammersmith Club Captain Gaston Franco to discuss the club's remarkable turnaround and what other communities can learn from it. We cover topics like financial sustainability, league play, and gender dynamics, as well as the importance of creating an inclusive, welcoming environment. We also explore Gaston's own chess journey, which highlights one of the game's great strengths: its ability to provide instant community, especially when moving alone to a new country.

If you'd like to buy Electric Friends merch including stickers, T-shirts, mugs and more, please head to https://electric-friends.printify.me/In this episode I dive into one of the most unexpected Gary Numan surprises of recent years — the release of Like a B-Film, a previously unheard Telekon-era demo that suddenly appeared via the 45th anniversary re-issue.I explain how the track appeared almost out of nowhere. Very quickly, it became clear this was genuine: raw 1980 synth textures, unfinished edges, and Gary's unmistakable vocal — a time capsule suddenly dropped into the present.The episode looks closely at the lyric sheet shared by fans online, lines that shrink humanity into “little pictures,” reference “B-films” and deadened media culture, and land on stark declarations like we are broken, we are shattered, we are glass. I discuss how the imagery hints at emotional numbness, voyeurism and disconnection — themes that would later define tracks like I Dream of Wires and Remind Me to Smile.We also hear Gary himself address the track at Hammersmith — admitting he doesn't remember writing it, joking that it probably didn't make the album “because it's happy,” and marvelling at Beggars Banquet uncovering a demo he'd forgotten.The episode includes reactions from fans comparing the sound to John Foxx, celebrating the synth tones, and debating whether it ever would have sat comfortably on Telekon — or whether saving it has made the surprise even sweeter.I also preview other demos on the anniversary release, and reflect on why unheard material still excites Numan fans after four decades.
In this podcast, we look at Hancock's first television Christmas special from the third series, Hancock's 43 Minutes. The three musketeers discuss this unusual variety style episode and consider the similarity between the show and much of Hancock's stage act, look at how Hancock has the audience in stitches whilst doing nothing other than reacting to everything going on around him and consider whether this episode may have proved an inspiration for the Morecambe & Wise shows of the 1970s. Finally, the gang compete to see who shows the most promise for a career dancing on plate glass. Don't forget to rate and subscribe to the podcast.

In this episode we sit down with Carl McCluskey, the quietly obsessive mastermind behind Crisp, the cult London pizzeria that has gone from a backstreet Hammersmith pub to one of the most sought after tables in the city. Carl walks us through the whirlwind first three weeks of his new Marlborough site and the sheer graft behind bringing a tiny pop up operation into a polished, high pressure restaurant setting. From staff struggles and stretching stations held together with rope to finally stepping into a dream kitchen, it is a rare look at the leap from local hero to full scale powerhouse.Carl breaks down the craft behind his pizzas, including the infamous Vecna, born by accident during a chaotic Halloween party when he grabbed hot honey and burrata as a last minute experiment. He shares the Reddit conspiracies about his secret hydration levels, the ongoing myth that his dough sits in trays, and why he refuses to reveal the tiny tweaks that make Crisp different. He explains how his cousin Pedro became the best oven man in the world, how the team makes up to forty litres of hot honey a week, and why scaling too fast would destroy the magic.The conversation turns to the business side, where Carl opens up about the heartbreak of leaving the original Hammersmith pub after impossible lease demands from Stonegate. He tells the wild stories that came with success, from seven hour queues to customers offering a thousand pounds in cash for a table. He recalls the day Dave Portnoy's 8.1 review changed everything, the surreal moment an American number rang asking for margaritas, and the sudden global spike in calls from fans desperate to try his pizza. There is also the now legendary saga of the toilet graffiti that became a t-shirt, a Wi-Fi code, and a small legal dispute.Carl's life story threads through the episode, from his days as a semi pro footballer playing alongside the Wealdstone Raider to being raised in his nan's old school London pub. He reveals the New York and LA inspirations behind his food, why an all day John and Vinnie's style concept could be his next move, and the places he eats on his own perfect food weekend. Honest, funny, and completely unguarded, this is Carl McCluskey at his best. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In 1803, the village of Hammersmith in London was terrorized by reports of a ghost - a tall figure in white said to haunt the churchyard, attack travelers, and drive locals into hysterics. Fear spread so widely that armed patrols took to the streets to hunt the apparition. Then, on a freezing January night, a man pulled the trigger on what he believed was that ghost… and killed an innocent bricklayer instead. This episode of THS Case Files investigates the unforgettable Hammersmith Ghost case - a chilling blend of folklore, panic, tragedy, and one of the most important legal debates in British history. You'll hear: The eerie encounters that set the village on edge A dramatic reconstruction of the shooting The surprising confession of the “real ghost” Believer vs. skeptic perspectives And the strange twist: how this case haunted English law for nearly two centuries Was Hammersmith truly haunted? Or did fear create a ghost where none existed? Subscribe for more documentary-style deep dives into the strange, the unexplained, and the forgotten.

In late 1803, accounts of ghost sightings began to circulate in Hammersmith, England. This led to a tragic event, and a legal case that revealed some limitations in existing English law.

In 1804, London was gripped by fear of a ghost said to haunt the Hammersmith district. When sightings spread, armed patrols took to the streets—until one night a man was shot dead, mistaken for the phantom. The case sparked a legal dilemma: can killing in belief of the supernatural be justified? In this episode, we revisit the bizarre true story of the Hammersmith Ghost murder case.
Send us a text In 1804, the streets of London trembled with terror as whispers of the Hammersmith Ghost spread through the city. One night, a figure dressed in white was confronted—and shot down—by a frightened man who believed he was ending a haunting. The gunfire silenced more than a ghost; it ignited one of England's most infamous murder trials. For the next 180 years, the case haunted the courts, reshaping the boundaries of law and self-defense. Was the Hammersmith Ghost truly laid to rest, or did fear claim yet another victim?Watch the video version here: https://youtube.com/live/_U4jBY7BJgMDon't forget, you can watch us live on Tuesday nights at 8PM CST - U.S. on YouTube and Facebook!
