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
In this episode, the lads sit down with self-taught rocket surgeon, Jonathan Wild. Jonathan is the brains behind Wild Arms Research and Development and has been spending his time LEGALLY building rocket launchers, recoilless launchers, and other things that you didn't know you could build without the ATF shooting your dog. We discuss how Jon got started doing this, the effort behind familiarizing himself with the law beforehand and how much cooler it is living in the US than the UK. (kidding sort of)We discuss the use of 3D printing in his projects and how the future of 3D printing metal could possibly make this kind of thing more accessible for people who don't want to invest a ridiculous amount of money into doing so.

Can a private individual own functioning rocket launchers in the United States? Blowing that question out of the water with us this week, Nathan and B.R are joined by Jonathan Wild. Jonathan is the author of "Expident Recoiless Launcher, Panzerfaust”, “Man Portable Air Defense System: Fliegerfaust”, “Flame Assault Shoulder Weapon: M202A1 Flash”, his newly released: “Expedient Recoilless Launcher: Panzerfaust” and the owner of Wild Arms Research & Development. The lads talk how Jonathan got into DIY launcher building from a background in competition shooting, the Form 1 legal process behind building launchers, the mission of Wild Arms Research and Development, pushing the 2nd Amendment *back* to it's historical precedent, the history behind launchers leading back to the American Civil War with the Hale Rocket Launcher, and how proliferation of DIY firearms such as JStark's FGC-9 have had significantly more impact on the world than anything multi-million dollar US manufacturers have developed in years. The gang also get into Jonathan's British origins, having moved stateside in 2007 from the UK, B.R and Jonathan's shared desire to own an SA80, @alyandkaufmanllc's ‘AKB-23' BRN180 SA80 clone kit, how antiquated launcher designs may have renewed utility in combatting drones in a much more affordable manner and much more!

Commonplace Quotes: Life was a hiding place that played me false. Lascelles Abercrombie, from “Epitaph” But if man's attention is repaid so handsomely, his inattention costs him dearly. Every time he diagrams something instead of looking at it, every time he regards not what a thing is but what it can be made to mean to him, every time he substitutes a conceit for a fact, he gets grease all over the kitchen of the world. Reality slips away from him, and he is left with nothing but the oldest monstrosity in the world–an idol. Robert Farrar Capon, from The Supper of the Lamb Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about. There is a certain kind of person who is so dominated by the desire to be loved for himself alone that he has constantly to test those around him by tiresome behavior; what he says and does must be admired, not because it is intrinsically admirable, but because it is his remark, his act. Does not this explain a good deal of avant-garde art? W. H. Auden, from The Dyer's Hand On Sitting Down to Read King Lear Once Again by John Keats O golden-tongued Romance with serene lute! Fair pluméd Syren! Queen of far away! Leave melodizing on this wintry day, Shut up thine olden pages, and be mute: Adieu! for once again the fierce dispute, Betwixt damnation and impassion'd clay Must I burn through; once more humbly assay The bitter-sweet of this Shakespearian fruit. Chief Poet! and ye clouds of Albion, Begetters of our deep eternal theme, When through the old oak forest I am gone, Let me not wander in a barren dream, But when I am consumed in the fire, Give me new Phoenix wings to fly at my desire.

On Today's episode of the TFB Behind the Gun Podcast, we've brought on two guests to talk about a recent training accident both myself and TFB's Nick C had to deal with. In addition to Nick C. Brad Gilpin Director of Medical Programming for Blue Force Gear will also be joining us to discuss the events of that day. To set the stage, a couple of months back Nick C and I as well as a few other friends were out gathering live-fire test footage of a DIY M202 FLASH Launcher made by Jonathan Wild, Long story short, some basic fundamental rules of range safety were violated and Nick C wound up getting a nice 2" hole in his rear end. Thankfully, Nick and I had both attended a trauma care class put on by Brad just a couple of years prior and his training helped us keep a bad situation from worsening. Today on the podcast we discuss the events of the accident, and how we responded, and then Brad wraps everything up by assessing our performance and giving us pointers on what we could have done better. Please welcome TFB's Nick C and Brad Gilpin from Blue Force Gear to the show! Adequate training should be completed from a licensed professional before performing any first aid discussed in this podcast This is not medical advice.

"counting Jonathan Wild's wives is an inexact science"
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.

In which jails are broken, Buttocks have Twangs, and everyone is sick.
London's greatest thief-taker had a secret: he was also the leader of its best-organized gang of thieves. For years, Wild turned one of the most brutal criminal justice systems in the world to his advantage—but even the self-styled Thief-Taker General ended up on the gallows. Content note: This episode contains a graphic description of execution by hanging. Show notes and sources at this link
A principios del siglo XVIII, en Londres se llevaba mucho lo de dar recompensas a cambio de atrapar a delincuentes y recuperar las propiedades robadas. Y de eso se aprovechó Jonathan Wild, que organizaba los robos para luego cobrar la recompensa. Descubrieron su plan y el 24 de mayo de 1725 fue condenado a morir en la horca

In today's episode we look at a man turned cop to criminal. A life very similar to things we've seen today. Besides living with a prostitute while married, Wild was just a regular guy.

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.
