FORGERIES, THE MAINE PENNY, AND ALT-RIGHT APPROPRIATION Colleague Martyn Whittock. Whittock dismisses American rune stones like the Kensington Stone as 19th-century forgeries made to claim land rights, though he accepts the "Maine Penny" as genuine evidence of trade. He concludes by warning against the modern "alt-right" appropriating Viking history to justify racial prejudice and white supremacy narratives. NUMBER 4

Vous avez peut-être vu la vidéo hilarante que Elton John a publiée ces jours-ci dans laquelle il n'arrive plus à ouvrir une porte chez lui, que ce soit celle de son living, frigo et même le four dans sa cuisine, sans entendre une chanson de Noël en sortir. Elle lui a d'ailleurs valu une remarque sur la propreté de la porte intérieure de son four, alors que l'artiste est réputé pour ne pas supporter la moindre saleté ni le désordre.Mais bref, cela n'a rien d'étonnant car le mois de décembre en Grande Bretagne est un mois chargé comme on n'en voit nulle part ailleurs dans le monde. Ce n'est pas pour rien que c'est là qu'est née la fête telle que nous la pratiquons aujourd'hui, le Christmas Carol de Charles Dickens en est d'ailleurs la preuve.Mais bon, il aime ça aussi, Elton John, tout comme son ami Freddie Mercury. Aah, la Noël, c'était sacré. Ces deux gars qui avaient connu une enfance compliquée à tous les niveaux, avaient du retard à rattraper quand ils sont devenus des stars riches comme Crésus. Ca y allait les cadeaux chez Cartier, Fortnum & Mason ou Tiffany, à Londres et à New York, le samedi avant la Noël. Un ami de Freddie Mercury se souvient qu'une année chez Harrods, Freddie s'était vu refuser sa carte American Express, pour cause de solde dépassé, tellement il y était allé fort en bouteilles de parfum pour ses invités. Freddie était comme ça. Sûrement le plus calme de la bande en privé, quand il était chez lui, à Manhattan, Kensington ou Montreux. Il était loin d'être le plus extravagant avec ses proches, c'était plutôt les autres qui se déchaînaient, trop heureux d'être avec LUI, la rockstar. Freddie, lui, cherchait juste le réconfort d'un noyau de gens qui l'accepte pour ce qu'il est, pas ce qu'il chante. Voilà sans doute le pourquoi de l'avalanche de cadeaux. Pareil pour Elton John. D'ailleurs, vous vous souvenez dans le film Love Actually, quand il invite Bill Nighy alias le punk Billy Mack devenu N°1 du Top40. L'auteur n'a rien inventé, Elton John est connu pour ses fêtes de Noël à la hauteur de la ferveur populaire qui saisit les Britanniques. C'est vrai qu'on y fête plus le sapin, la dinde et la cuvée spéciale que le petit Jésus dans la crèche.On raconte qu'il y invitait souvent son voisin le prince Philippe et la reine, ses voisins à Windsor, et qu'ils déclinaient poliment. Par contre qu'il y ait compté dans les années 90, un certain Robbie Williams et les Spice Girls pour l'écouter jouer au piano jusqu'à huit heures du matin, ça c'est lui qui l'a raconté. Tout cela avait lieu, évidemment, dans sa maison de campagne, loin des voisins qu'on aurait pu déranger. Imaginez Geri Halliwell en robe de mère Noël ultra courte, en train de hurler dans la cour Merry Christmas avec Robbie Williams. Freddie était, sur ce coup-là, plus discret, je vous l'ai dit, comme en atteste l'unique disque de Noël publié par Queen en 1984, et dont la carrière a été, cette année-là, éclipsée par l'immense single du Band Aid.

On this episode, we're joined by Angela Giampolo of Giampolo Law for our monthly SpeakOUT segment, which explores issues impacting the LGBTQIA+ community and how they intersect with the broader population. Angela breaks down current trends affecting the LGBTQIA+ community, including healthcare access and job discrimination, and discusses alarming new legislation that could have serious implications for people with dual citizenship—or those considering applying for that status.  But first, we shine a light on Christmas Babies, a holiday initiative founded by Philadelphia Police Officer Ashley Capaldi, an 18-year veteran who mobilizes fellow officers and community volunteers to deliver hundreds of Christmas gifts to families in the Kensington neighborhood. Through a partnership with SWAT, LaLa's Winter Wonderland, and local community leaders, Christmas Babies continues to grow—meeting urgent needs and spreading joy during the holiday season.

Over the last few months, the names Skrilla, Santería, and even the mysterious 67 Trend have been popping up everywhere. Whether it's young people going wild at In-N-Out when order number 67 appears, or the “Zombieland” look of Skrilla's hometown of Kensington, there's already plenty to examine when it comes to Skrilla himself—an artist whose imagery and influences increasingly point toward Santería and occult themes.From symbols and rituals appearing in his videos to his own explanations of how to curse people using ancient religious practices, Skrilla has become a focal point in conversations about the blending of entertainment and the supernatural. And as his influence grows, it's crucial to understand what's behind it—and what Scripture has to say about the spiritual forces being glamorized today.   Follow Good Fight Ministries on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodfightministries  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfightministries  Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/goodfightmin  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodfightministries  Rumble: https://rumble.com/GoodFightMinistries  Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodfight 

“Our longings are much more powerful than our logic, and our desires are stronger than our reason.” (Graham Tomlin on the thought of Blaise Pascal)The Rt. Rev. Dr. Graham Tomlin (St. Mellitus College, the Centre for Cultural Witness) joins Evan Rosa for a sweeping exploration of Blaise Pascal—the 17th-century mathematician, scientist, philosopher, and theologian whose insights into human nature remain strikingly relevant. Tomlin traces Pascal's life of brilliance and illness, his tension between scientific acclaim and radical devotion, and his deep engagement with Descartes, Montaigne, and Augustine. The conversation moves through Pascal's analysis of self-deception, his critique of rationalism and skepticism, the transformative Night of Fire, his compassion for the poor, and the wager's misunderstood meaning. Tomlin presents Pascal as a thinker who speaks directly to our distracted age, revealing a humanity marked by greatness, misery, and a desperate longing only grace can satisfy.Episode Highlights“Our longings are much more powerful than our logic, and our desires are stronger than our reason.”“The greatness and the refuse of the universe—that's what we are. We're the greatest thing and also the worst thing.”“If everybody knew what everybody else said about them, there would not be four friends left in the world.”“Only grace can begin to turn that self-oriented nature around and implant in us a desire for God.”“The reason you cannot believe is not because of your reason; it's because of your passions.”Show NotesGraham Tomlin introduces the Night of Fire and Pascal's meditation on “the greatness of the human soul”Evan Rosa frames Pascal as a figure of mystery, mechanics, faith, and modern technological influence.Tomlin contrasts Pascal with Descartes and Montaigne—rationalism vs. skepticism—locating Pascal between their poles.Pascal's awareness of distraction, competition, and “all men naturally hate each other” surfaces early as a key anthropological insight.Evan notes Nietzsche's striking admiration: “his blood runs through my veins.”Tomlin elaborates on Pascal's lifelong tension between scientific achievement and spiritual devotion.The story of the servant discovering the hidden Night of Fire parchment in Pascal's coat lining is recounted.Tomlin reads the core text: “Joy, joy, joy, tears of joy… Let me never be separated from him.”Pascal's distinction: “God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers.”Discussion of Jansenism, Augustinian anthropology, and the gravity of human fallenness.Tomlin sets the philosophical context: Pascal as a counter to both rationalist optimism and skeptical relativism.Pascal's core tension—grandeur and misery—is presented as the interpretive key to human nature.Quote emerges: “the greatness and the refuse of the universe—that's what we are.”Tomlin describes Pascal's political skepticism and the idea that politics offers only “rules for a madhouse.”Pascal's diagnosis of self-deception: “If everybody knew what everybody else said about them, there would not be four friends left in the world.”Evan raises questions about social hope; Tomlin answers with Pascal's belief that only grace can break self-love.They explore Pascal's critique of distraction and the famous line: “the sole cause of man's unhappiness is that he does not know how to stay quietly in his room.”Tomlin ties this to contemporary digital distraction—“weapons of mass distraction”.The conversation turns to the wager, reframed not as coercion but exposure: unbelief is driven by passions more than reasons.Closing reflections highlight the apologetic project of the Pensées, Pascal's brilliance, and his ongoing relevance.Helpful Links and ReferencesSpecial thanks to the Center for Christian Witness and Seen and Unseen https://www.seenandunseen.com/Blaise Pascal: The Man Who Made the Modern World, by Graham Tomlin https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/graham-tomlin/blaise-pascal/9781399807661/Pensées, by Blaise Pascal https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/18269Provincial Letters, by Blaise Pascal https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2407Why Being Yourself Is a Bad Idea, by Graham Tomlinhttps://www.amazon.com/Why-Being-Yourself-Bad-Idea/dp/0281087097Montaigne's Essays https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3600Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/23306Augustine's Confessions https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3296About Graham TomlinGraham Tomlin is a British theologian, writer, and church leader.

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter reflects on his previous conversation with Professor Greg Downey, exploring the complexities of masculinity through an anthropological lens. He emphasizes that masculinity is a practice shaped by societal systems, rather than a fixed essence. The discussion highlights the dangers of toxic ideologies and the importance of emotional health and community. Gunter provides practical reflections on how individuals can embody healthier masculinity in their daily lives, focusing on the body, relationships, and the wider social context. He encourages listeners to engage in self-reflection and practice small, meaningful changes in their behavior.TakeawaysMasculinity is embodied and relational, not a fixed essence.Toxic ideologies can anesthetize men's pain rather than heal it.Masculinity is shaped by systems, not just individual actions.Cultural narratives about masculinity influence our behaviors.Practicing awareness of our bodies can reveal ingrained habits.Emotional responsiveness is key in relationships.Social media can amplify toxic narratives about masculinity.Self-reflection helps in recognizing internalized patriarchal values.Values should guide our actions, not societal expectations.Change in masculinity comes from small, consistent actions.Keywordsmasculinity, toxic ideologies, emotional health, community, anthropology, personal growth, relationships, social media, patriarchy, self-awarenessMid-Episode Break is brought to you by Distil Union.“You know, on this show we talk a lot about living with purpose — slowing down, paying attention, and being intentional about the choices we make every day.

The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story. If there is any place that captures the raw, unfiltered reality of America's drug crisis, it is The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market. For decades, this neighborhood has been the epicenter of open-air dealing, addiction, and human suffering, an area where people lie on sidewalks, stumble through streets, and inject or smoke drugs in plain view. Sidewalks, parks, and alleys are littered with used needles. Crowds of people slump over, “nodded out,” as if frozen in time. Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “It's something you have to see to believe,” one writer observed. “Whatever you've seen on Twitter (X), Facebook, Instagram, or the evening news doesn't even come close.” The intense episode now streaming on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform. A Marketplace of Desperation Kensington offers something few other places in America do, product variety. Fentanyl, now responsible for most overdose deaths, saturates the scene. Meth and crack mix in for users looking to combine “uppers and downers.” Even retro drugs like PCP have made a return. One user told investigators his typical order was “three down, one hard”, fentanyl for the down, crack for the hard. The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story.  Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . This is the reality former Philadelphia warrant investigator Tristin Kilgallon witnessed firsthand. From the Streets to the Classroom Kilgallon, who grew up near Kensington, spent years navigating these streets as part of the First Judicial District's Warrant Unit. Once a frontline investigator tasked with tracking fugitives, he later left the unit to attend law school. He became a lawyer, then a criminal justice professor, teaching the next generation of justice professionals. “I loved the job, but the danger, the low pay, and the burnout, it wears you down,” Kilgallon explains. “Kensington changes you. You see things you can't unsee.” The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story.

He now speaks openly about the realities he observed, not just in policing but also in higher education. “There's a lot of myth versus reality in the classroom,” he says. “And too often, the focus is on political indoctrination, not actual education.” The Book: A Real Story of Crime, Chaos, and Brotherhood Kilgallon co-authored the book Philly Warrant Unit with lifelong friend and fellow investigator Mark Fusetti. The two grew up on the same block, reunited professionally years later, and began working side by side in one of America's toughest fugitive-tracking units. “This book isn't a traditional cover-to-cover read,” Kilgallon says. “It's a collection of true stories, intense, funny, tragic, and real.” The authors share behind-the-scenes experiences: tense arrests, tragic overdoses, unpredictable street encounters, and the kind of dark humor only law enforcement veterans understand. Their stories paint an unfiltered portrait of policing Philadelphia during a period when Kensington's drug market became a billion-dollar enterprise and a global symbol of urban decay. The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. His interview can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners crave authentic law enforcement stories. Kensington: A Neighborhood Consumed Kensington was once a thriving industrial hub. When factories shut down during the 1960s and deindustrialization hollowed out the area, poverty, abandonment, and neglect took root. Vacant factories became havens for dealing and drug use. The Market-Frankford Line offered easy access. By the late 1990s, Kensington had become the place to buy heroin on the East Coast. As Kilgallon puts it: “The drug market didn't just appear, it grew like a parasite. And it's been feeding off the neighborhood for generations.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Today, fentanyl, xylazine, meth, and crack dominate. Doctors and treatment centers struggle to help people addicted to substances that often leave them disfigured or near death. Residents face homelessness, encampments, violence, and crushing economic inequality. “Kensington has become the Las Vegas of Drugs,” Kilgallon says. “It's shocking, but it's the truth.” The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story. A Real Story Worth Hearing Kilgallon's firsthand insights, on policing, addiction, community collapse, and the failures of both policy and academia, make him a powerful voice in conversations about Kensington's future. His Real Story matters because it cuts through the political noise and media sensationalism.

As rapid development reshapes neighborhoods like Kensington, residents and business owners face displacement and loss of local control. The Kensington Corridor Trust and Women's Community Revitalization Project offer models of community ownership—using neighborhood and land trusts to preserve affordability, reinvest profits locally, and align development with community priorities. This episode explores how these approaches center equity and empower residents to shape their own futures.

LIFE AND HOW TO LIVE IT This memoir traces a boy growing up in 1980s Philadelphia as he navigates gangs, addiction, fractured faith, and a home life wired with chaos, finding his only lifeline in the music that gives him a sense of self. It's a raw, darkly funny look at survival, identity, and the stubborn hope that rises even when you're raised in the wreckage. Learn More WHEN THE LIGHT IS MINE A poetry collection that cuts through the noise with sharp, confessional poems about capitalism, faith, identity, depression, and the messy business of surviving yourself. It moves from raw disillusionment to moments of real tenderness, offering an unfiltered look at modern life that challenges, unsettles, and still manages to land on hope. Learn More TOPICS OF CONVERSATION About the Book and the Inspiration Behind It Growing Up in Kensington and the Lasting Impact of Poverty and Violence The Influence of a Deeply Religious Upbringing and Conflicting Family Dynamics Music as an Emotional Lifeline and Catalyst for Self-Discovery Navigating Identity and Personal Beliefs Amid a Restrictive Environment Developing an Authentic Writing Voice and the Decision to Tell His Story Without Filters Themes of Resilience and What He Hopes Readers Take Away The Role of Poetry as Creative Expression and Expansion of His Storytelling ABOUT THE AUTHOR Chaz Holesworth writes from the gritty edge of lived experience. Raised in Philadelphia by a father struggling with heroin addiction and a mother bound to extreme fundamentalist Christianity, he grew up in a world defined by poverty, trauma, and contradiction. Out of that turbulence emerged a voice that is both unflinching and lyrical, capturing the weight of survival, the failures of society, and the fragile hope that persists despite it all. Over the past twenty-five years, Chaz has been sculpting those experiences into stories and poems. His memoir offers a brutally honest account of his past, while his poetry collection distills decades of struggle and reflection into themes of love, depression and loneliness, religion, and the fault lines buried beneath our society. Chaz strives to both trace the contours of intimacy and confront the politics of power, inviting readers into a deeply personal yet universally resonant search for meaning. Now living in the suburbs of Philadelphia with his wife and their beloved dog, Chaz continues to write with the urgency of someone who knows the cost of silence. His work speaks to anyone drawn to poetry and memoirs that dwell on deeper things, offering not just snapshots of a difficult life but the possibility of connection, understanding, and light.

What happens when you trade a neuroscience degree at UCLA for the unpredictable world of music? On this episode of Bringin' it Backwards, Adam Lisicky sits down with singer-songwriter Isabella Kensington—a rising artist whose million-plus TikTok following and viral covers are just the beginning of her story. Raised in London by American parents, Isabella shares how performing with Paul McCartney as a teen, choosing art over a "sensible path," and weathering breakups and self-doubt shaped her bold new EP, Not in a Dollhouse Anymore. From her earliest days harmonizing in the Capitol Children's Choir to navigating the pressure-cooker academic world and building a digital fanbase from scratch, Isabella opens up about the moments that tested her grit and ultimately led her to NYU's Clive Davis Institute. She gets real about the creative highs, the viral surprises, and those panic-inducing risks every artist faces when chasing their dream. Whether you're a musician fighting for your big break or just love stories of vulnerability and perseverance, this episode is packed with inspiration. Hit play, and bring it backwards with Isabella Kensington!

In this NBN episode, Hollay Ghadery speaks with Robert de la Chevrotiere about his novel, Tall is Her Body (Kensington, 2025).  Readers of Black Cake and Family Lore will be captivated by this sweeping, multicultural family story of keen observation and the supernatural in which one man's journey to wholeness—both emotionally and physically—is shaped by the lands of his childhood and those of his ancestors, still reeling from the effects of colonialism and immigration.Before the oracular gadèt-zafè came to warn his mother she would die, 6-year-old Fidel knew only the everyday mystery of the Guadeloupe around him. The lush greenery, the dusty roads, the sugar cane growing and the neighbors arguing, the push and pull of love and resentment between people who rely on each other—his world is small but full. Until a few moments of violence change his life forever.Orphaned, Fidel returns to his mother's native Dominica and whirls from one relative and reality to another, learning pieces of his own story. His heritage is one of layered secrets and sharp divisions—between the grandmothers who love him and the aunt who wants him dead, the Catholic orthodoxy of his school and the Obeah knowledge of his grandfather, and the indigenous and the colonial. The violence he's witnessed inhabits not only strangers but himself. The spirits of the dead visit him with advice, threats, and explanations. And when he sees a path toward happiness in Canada, he must reconcile his intense, bittersweet love of his home with the possibility of leaving it. Robert de la Chevotiere is an Afro-Caribbean immigrant to Canada, who teaches French and English language arts. He is a member of the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia and has recently had a poem published in Arc Poetry Magazine's 2021 fall issue. Learn more about your ad choices.

We're joined by Nancy Barile, award-winning author of "I'm Not Holding Your Coat", an insightful chronicle of her life as an OG Philadelphia/Boston punk who lived through the golden age of hardcore music as it evolved in real time before her eyes. The Ramones, Bad Brains, Misfits, Minor Threat, Black Flag... You name it, she saw it. We talk about the legendary brawl in Kensington, booking the infamous "Gathering of the Tribes" show, cold calling CBGBs to get bands booked, and bumping elbows with just about every legendary figure in hardcore punk, and much more. Her husband, the late great Al Barile of SSD, was a pioneer of the straight edge movement and a name brought up often on HardLore throughout the years. He sadly passed away in April of 2025, and we talk all about their chance meeting, his impact on us, and share stories of Al through the years and look back at his perception of how straight edge and hardcore music have grown since his early days in SSD. An incredibly informative and cathartic conversation and an episode we've wanted to make happen for a long time. Thank you Nancy for joining us and all of you for watching/listening.

Bangladeshi voters in Brooklyn's Kensington neighborhood helped propel Zohran Mamdani to the most powerful position in New York City. Meanwhile, a film shop in Chinatown has become an unlikely destination for portraits.

The moment has arrived! That is, an actual announcement of Doctor Who's future from the BBC (and not the outgoing Disney+) in the form of a last hurrah from Russell T Davies and Bad Wolf by way of a Christmas special in 2026, along with official confirmation of Turf and Surf hitting the iPlayer this Christmas and Disney+ in February. What does this portend for both the present and future of Doctor Who? The Three Who Rule put on their television detective hats and as usual solve nothing, as do many entertainment journalists including friend of the show Kyle Anderson, and lesser lights such as Variety, Deadline, and The Hollywood Reporter.

In the winter of 2010, fear gripped the streets of Kensington — a neighborhood already bruised by addiction, poverty, and neglect. When three women were found strangled within weeks of each other, residents whispered of a phantom stalking the night. But the truth was far worse — because the killer wasn't hiding in the dark. He was walking in plain sight.This episode dives deep into the story of Antonio Rodriguez, the man known as The Kensington Strangler — how he lured his victims, how the system failed to stop him, and how an entire community was left haunted by the silence of those it ignored.A story about violence, survival, and the devastating cost of delay. We're Matt Lepore and Gavin Sowden — and this is Stuttering in Silence: The Shadow of Kensington.

We learned this week that there's some good news when it comes to the city's opioid crisis: Overdose deaths were down the last two years – and the rate this year is decreasing, too. This comes as the city changes course in how it handles the drug crisis. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Emily Rizzo, Kensington Voice accountability reporter, about this new approach and if it's working. She breaks down a new drug recovery housing facility that was opened by Mayor Cherelle Parker in the Northeast, which the majority of funds from a legal settlement with pharmaceutical companies that sold opioids are going to support. Emily also breaks down why certain service providers are being kicked off the streets of Kensington, which has been the epicenter of the crisis. And how a new expedited court aims to get people into treatment immediately.  Read more of Emily's work at Kensington Voice here.  Get Philly news & events in your inbox with our newsletter: Hey Philly Call or text us: 215-259-8170 We're also on Instagram: @citycastphilly You can support this show and get great perks by becoming a City Cast Philly Neighbor at membership.citycast.fm.

HEADLINE: Runestones, Artifacts, and Modern Misappropriation BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: Following the translation of the sagas, runestones (e.g., Kensington in Minnesota) began appearing, primarily after 1865. These are almost certainly fakes created by newly arrived Scandinavian immigrants seeking to claim "prior title" to the land by asserting "Vikings were here first." The only artifact likely to be genuine is the Maine Penny (Goddard Coin), found at a Native American trading site in 1957. It was likely passed along Native American trade networks, indicating Norsecontact as far south as Maine.
