Podcast appearances and mentions of Jack Sheppard

Eighteenth century prison break artist and folk hero Jack Sheppard is among history's most frequently adapted rogues: his exploits have inspired Daniel Defoe, John Gay, Bertolt Brecht, and most recently, Jordy Rosenberg, whose first novel, Confessions of the Fox (2018), rewrites Sheppard as a trans man and Sheppard's partner Bess as a South Asian lascar and part of the resistance movement in the Fens. Rosenberg embeds the manuscript tracing their love story within a satirical frame narrative of a professor whose discovery of it gets him caught up in an absurd and increasingly alarming tussle with neoliberal academic bureaucracy and corporate malfeasance. Jordy is joined here by Annie McClanahan, a scholar of contemporary literature and culture who describes herself as an unruly interloper in the 18th century.  Like Jordy's novel, their conversation limns the 18th and 21st centuries, taking up 18th century historical concerns and the messy early history of the novel alongside other textual and vernacular forms, but also inviting us to rethink resistance and utopian possibility today through the lens of this earlier moment. Jordy and Annie leapfrog across centuries, reading the 17th century ballad “The Powtes Complaint” in relation to extractivism and environmental justice, theorizing the “riotous, anarchic, queer language of the dispossessed” that characterizes Confessions of the Fox as a kind of historically informed cognitive estrangement for the present, and considering the work theory does (and does not) do in literary works and in academic institutions.

Eine schnelle, schwärmerische Rezension des Romans von Jordy Rosenberg (2018), in dem Prisonbreak-Artist Jack Sheppard & their partner in crime and queer love, Edgeworth Bess, aus den Tiefen des Londons des 18. Jahrhunderts neu fiktionalisiert werden. (Jack Sheppard war unter anderem auch die historische Vorlage für Mackie Messer in Brechts Dreigroschenoper.) Jordy Rosenberg erzählt auf eine Weise vom Leben und Erleben von Trans_ness, die nicht nur den Plot queert, sondern auf alle Ebenen des Texts ausgreift. Trans_ness wird in Confessions of the Fox –weit über Gender-queerness hinausreichend– als befreiendes Moment verstanden, das Herrschaftsverhältnisse, historische Narrative, textuelle Beschränkungen sowie Genre-Normen öffnet und aufbricht und hier letztlich den Tod überwindet. In dieser Rezension gehe ich auch auf erotische Aspekte des Romans ein. ...::::.....::::::....::::::....:::::....

Joseph "Blueskin" Blake was hanged on 11th November, 1724. His notoriety as a highwayman was due in large part to his network of criminal associates, including ‘London's most glamorous rogue' Jack Sheppard (who inspired Gay's Beggars Opera) and ‘Thief-Taker General', Jonathan Wilde. Under the guise of law enforcement, Wilde had charged victims for retrieving their stolen goods, manipulating the criminal justice system so that he profited from crimes he had himself orchestrated. Blake found himself under Wilde's wing as a young pickpocket, but his loyalty didn't pay off in the end, as Wilde personally apprehended Blake following a botched robbery. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain what a ‘Buttock and File' scheme is; recall how Sheppard's daring prison escapes captured the public imagination; and explain how an offence as minor as lace theft ultimately brought Wilde to the same grim end as Blueskin… Further Reading: • 'Lives of the Most Remarkable Criminals: Joseph Blake' (Hayward, 1735): https://www.pascalbonenfant.com/18c/newgatecalendar/lives_joseph_blake.html  • 'The Amazing Escapes of Jack Sheppard' (Historic UK): https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/The-Amazing-Escapes-of-Jack-Sheppard/ • 'Policing London - The Fall of Jonathan Wild' (Extra History, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9siL4CWTe4 #Crime #London #1700s #Macabre This episode first premiered in 2023, for members of 

20 años se cumplen de aquel primer momento en que vimos abrir los ojos a Jack Sheppard, perseguir a Vincent hasta la playa y descubrir el caos del vuelo 815 de Oceanic y ponerse sin pensarlo dos veces a salvar a los que serían sus compañeros de viaje. Un viaje que nos tuvo 6 años en vilo, madrugando algunos para ver los episodios en directo recién estrenados en EEUU, y a otros corriendo del trabajo los lunes para que nadie nos reventara las sorpresas. Por ello le dedicamos un super monográfico partido en dos partes. En este primer volumen la creación de la serie, sus secretos de rodaje, curiosidades y una galería de personajes inolvidables.

This week Johnboy treats the lads to the tale of London's earliest policing, which was run by a stolen goods thief and fence who secretly organized theft into a scam that saw victims and thieves taxed alike to his benefit, before a rogue thief and routine prison escapee beloved by the public brought his reign to a bitter end!

Or will Jack continue to grow his fame through jailbreak after jailbreak? We finish our dive into Jack's story in this Part 2!

Look up "rogue" in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of Jack Sheppard, the real life inspiration behind characters like the Artful Dodger and Captain MacHeath. But how did this budding young Carpenter's Apprentice become one of the most-loved criminals and escape artists in all of 18th Century London? And why do we still know his name today?

For this week's addition to the Campfire Classics Collection, we have a story from a lesser known, but equally as monumental a writer of the Victorian era, William Harrison Ainsworth. Ainsworth was a prolific English writer who lived from 1805 to 1882. Ainsworth's literary career was marked by a fascination with the macabre, the gothic, and the supernatural, making him an unsung hero of Victorian horror literature. The story of The Spectre Bride is a haunting tale that intertwines love and the supernatural in a way that only Ainsworth could masterfully accomplish. It's a tale of dark family secrets, cursed love, and a bride with an otherworldly twist.Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only.

In this episode of the ⁠London History Podcast⁠, we delve into a truly intriguing aspect of London's history – the remnants of Georgian life found along the city's riverbanks through the activity known as mudlarking. Mudlarking, the practice of scavenging along riverbanks, often unearths some fascinating glimpses into the city's past, and the Georgian era is particularly ripe with discoveries. Our guest for today is Anna Borzello, a seasoned mudlarker, who will share her insights and findings from the Georgian period. Anna has uncovered a wealth of items from this era, each with its own unique story to tell, giving us an intimate, tangible link to Georgian Londoners. And don't forget, f you have a particular interest in Georgian London, we have many more episodes on this period in our archives. From the escapades of the celebrity thief, Jack Sheppard in Episode 94, to a peek into the life of radical MP John Wilkes in Episode 91, and a look at the day-to-day life of Georgian Londoners in our introductory Episode 80, there's a wealth of knowledge waiting for you. So, pull up a chair, put on your headphones, and prepare to be transported back to the times of powdered wigs, elegant attire, and the charming chaos of Georgian London. Let's set off on another journey this time, down the intriguing, muddy riverbeds of history. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/londonguidedwalks/message

Thee hundred years ago, Jack Sheppard was the most famous man in the country.    Britain's first celebrity was not a royal,  an actor,  or aristocrat -  but a petty thief.    This podcast tells the story of how an East End chancer became so famous, that a third of London's population took to the streets to see if he could cheat the noose. 

Joined by Beverley Cook of the Museum of London, we delve into the long, murky, often intriguing history of executions in London. Enter at your peril! As ever, we look at the people, places and events that surround the executions, and see how they became a public fixture in London's calendar. Brits are an enterprising bunch, and that is no different here, with people making money from the spectacle and pageantry of an execution day. Why were executioners allowed to keep the rope? Who was Mother Proctor and how did she make a living? How did one man become synonymous with the parades from Newgate to Tyburn? Plus we meet some old friends along the way, like Jack Sheppard, jail-breaker extraordinaire. Visit https://www.ladieswholondon.com for more information. Get in touch!

Last week we looked at Jack Sheppard, the wild and roguish folk-hero of 18th Century London. This week we'll be looking at his antagonist, the Thief-Taker General Jonathan Wild. Wild's career was... wild. It's unbelievable quite how much of a stranglehold he had over the criminal underworld of London, while also appearing to be the city's greatest policeman. Here you can find out about his rise and fall, and the lessons in criminal empire management that we can all take home. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

You may have seen films or TV where people break out of prison using bedsheets as a rope. Did you ever think that was a bit far-fetched? Well, this week on That Time When, Barnaby tells us the story of Jack Sheppard, a young man who repeatedly managed to break free from London prisons in the 18th Century. The real question is: Was Jack Sheppard some kind of specific Marvel mutant whose power was to create files and lockpicks? That's as good an explanation as any for some of Jack's feats. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode is part of our Trans Studies Speakers Series, hosted by Dr. Susan Stryker, the Barbara Lee Distinguished Chair in Womens' Leadership. Dr. Stryker is in conversation with Dr. Jordy Rosenberg, scholar and author of the breakout novel, Confessions of the Fox—a faux memoir of the 18th-century folk hero Jack Sheppard.

It is the start of International Cave Diving Month and the boys make a trip across the pond to Jolly Ol' England. This episode takes us on what may be considered the very first cave dive in the UK. In 1934, Graham Balcombe and Jack Sheppard became cave divers. Join Jamesy and Brando as they revisit this exciting tale of adventure and mystery, and homemade cave diving gear.

It's the 1700s in London. Times are hard and money is low. What do you do? If you're like many, you might fence items for cash. If you're Jack Sheppard, you not only fence stolen items, you're arrested multiple times and escape from the "inescapable" jails, particularly Newgate Prison. His escapes included scaling walls with bed sheets, dressing in women's clothing, and climbing a chimney and going through 6 locked doors and a chapel. Join us as we cover this Georgian escape artist.

The Incredible History of John Shepard 18th Century Burglar

Cette semaine à #histoirede, nos collabos bravent la seconde vague de pandémie pour nous présenter trois nouvelles chroniques ! Eliott Boulate célèbre la réouverture des bibliothèques à Montréal pour nous parler de ces fameux établissements à l'époque du Moyen Âge. Marie-Pier Berthelet continue de fréquenter les coins lugubres de l'histoire en nous présentant le célèbre criminel Jack Sheppard : roi du cambriolage et de l'invasion. Finalement, Joel Beauchamp-Monfette nous rappelle que la controverse a toujours animé la santé publique au Québec en nous parlant de la fondation des égoûts de Montréal. À l'animation, notre habituelle Chloe Poitras-Raymond et, moins aisé à la régie, Julien Lehoux.

Just Jack, Sheppard, Bob Sinclar, Chef Special

Hello dear Men v Man v Food Fanatics! We are lockdown but that isn't gonna stop us from releasing podcasts! In an effort to satiate our hunger for Adam Richman's insatiable appetite we hopped on to video chat and got recording. We were joined by Edward Crysz from Stranger Kitchens to observe Adam's escapades in Seattle. This week he eats food straight from a table, meets a lady called Babe and then attempts to eat a lot of eggs. We also hear about the ending to a movie that Adam has imagined which remains one of the most impossibly strange and specific things ever imagined. In addition to all this we introduce a brand new feature entitled Man v Men v Man v Food presented this week by friend of the podcast Jack Sheppard! Jack has done a blinder of a job, so if you do nothing else skip to about 50 mins in and listen to his Oscar worthy dramatic monologue. (Apologies for the audio quality there was an error with the recording that Josh spent 2 hours fixing to get to this point, but we hope you can let us off this one time due to the world being on fire) Stay safe and stay hungry!!

It's March 4th, so we are covering cases that have to do with... March 4th! First, Caitlin throws it back to our mob episode with a story on mob mastermind, Lepke Buchalter. Then, Sarah brings it way back to the 1700's with a story on the dashing, poor-man's hero: Jack Sheppard.Support our Show |www.patreon.com/luminolpodFollow Us | Instagram: @luminolpodEmail Us | luminolpod@gmail.com

Clay and Jack discuss improv, film, and you guessed it - creativity! We go in DEEP and cover a lot of ground on this episode, so strap in!

Yarrr! Ahoy there me farties! We're back, and better than ever (by that I mean tired). This week we go DEEP into the pressing issues that are torturing the youth and the anti-youth of today (i.e. Oldies), limited to but not including: Sheesh Chigwell. You can look forward to such familiar segments as 'The Horse Segment', and 'Olli's Regional Question'. On the now-classic 'Kharacter Komedy', we welcome a newbie to the class in the form of the wonderful Mr. Jack Sheppard, and an anti-youth (i.e. Oldie) in the effervescent conglomerate that is Elias Juul Reichel (star of the rival show Men vs Man vs Food - available now). It's a good one - and we should know! Thanks for coming, and thanks for leaving again after the episode is done. Bye bye Thankers. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thanks-dan/message

Hello Men V Man V Food fanatics! This week we take a trip to Chicago, Illinois to watch Adam pound his poor overworked digestion system with pizza and both wet and dry sandwiches. We also have our first ever guest viewer in the form of Jack Sheppard!

Buckle up hunger warriors this podcast is a full of content as Adam Richman is of soupy Chicago deep dish pizza!!

Episode 42: Nathan Besser's latest book, "Wild" (Viking an imprint of Penguin, 2019) is based on the extraordinary story of how the lives of Daniel Defoe (of Robinson Crusoe fame), notorious crime figure Jonathan Wild and petty criminal Jack Sheppard became intertwined in the turbulent underbelly of London in the early 18th century.A witty, highly entertaining but fictionalised account of the intersection of these historical personalities, "Wild" casts a contemporary spotlight on an era which arguable spawned the modern phenomena of crime writing and tabloid journalism.Tune in to this informative interview as Nathan and I chat about the London that these men lived in, what they were really like and how Nathan balances a writing career with family and business.

In a wide-ranging conversation, Eric and Medaya talk with author Jordy Rosenberg about the life and times of Jack Sheppard, eighteenth century Britain’s most famous prisonbreak artist, who is at the center of Rosenberg’s Confessions of the Fox. Plumbing the archival material that remains of this mysterious figure, Rosenberg’s novel imagines Sheppard as a transgender man whose gender ambiguous “slight” body was often described as boon to his trade and to his reputation as a notorious ladies man. Throughout the conversation, we discuss how our changing understandings of gender and sexuality across history challenge how we think about identity, desire and embodiment. Also, filmmaker Werner Herzog returns to recommend J. A. Baker's The Peregrine.

Jack Sheppard is the most notorious burglar in London while Jonathan Wild runs the city’s largest bounty hunting operation. The two should be enemies, but is there more going on than meets the eye? 

Co-founders of Frederick’s newest brewery (for the time being), Joe Idoni and Jack Sheppard joined us in the studio for episode 109. We discussed their brewery, sour beers, and shared cat custody.

Jordy Rosenberg is a transgender writer and scholar who focuses on 18th-century literature and queer/trans theory. His first novel, Confessions of the Fox, smashes those two disciplines together by retelling the story of two notorious thieves, jailbreakers, and lovers: Jack Sheppard and Edgeworth Bess, both real people who lived and breathed the fetid London air. But in Rosenberg's imagining, Jack is trans and Bess is the daughter of a South Asian sailor and an Englishwoman from the soon-to-be-drained fen. Confessions of the Fox is the title of both the novel and a long-lost manuscript that may or may not be their confessions, discovered by a scholar named Dr. Voth. He obsessively annotates the novel and presents it to us, the reader, with an introduction and footnotes that unspool into a conspiratorial tale of surveillance, resistance, and suspense. Rosenberg joins us on the podcast to talk about what it’s like to rewrite history.Also, we have a copy of the novel to give away!

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, looks ahead to Sunday when he's transforming Trafalgar Square into 'London's biggest cinema' for a free public screening of Iranian director Asghar Farhadi's Oscar-nominated film The Salesman, just hours before this year's Academy Awards are announced. Jake Arnott discusses his latest novel The Fatal Tree set in Georgian London's criminal underworld. It follows the fortunes of notorious prostitute and pickpocket Edgworth Bess and her husband Jack Sheppard, a thief whose escapades inspired the character of Macheath in John Gay's The Beggar's Opera.Next week the Guildhall School will put on the world premiere of Julian Philips' opera The Tale of Januarie. Based on Chaucer's The Merchant's Tale, it's the first opera to have been written in Middle English. The librettist Stephen Plaice and composer Julian Philips join John to discuss how they approached it.Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Edwina Pitman.

The Brecht/Weill song, 'Mack The Knife' first appeared in 'The Threepenny Opera' in Berlin in 1928. Sung about the criminal MacHeath, the 'play with music' is based on John Gay's 'The Beggar's Opera', who was inspired by the real-life English highwayman, Jack Sheppard. The song became a hit when performed in 1959 by Bobby Darin. Ella Fitzgerald famously forgot the words when performing live in Berlin in 1960 and her improvised version won a Grammy. Suzi Quatro talks about how she performed it with her father as a child, playing bongos to accompany him, and Lenny Kaye from the Patti Smith Group recalls how he and Patti did a version of 'Mack The Knife' at their first ever performance together at St Marks Church in New York on 10th February 1971, as it was Brecht's birthday. Film-maker Malcolm Clark tells the story of the song's first public performer, Kurt Gerron, an actor and director, who took the song into the darkest places of the Third Reich.
