Historyk sztuki i poeta prof. Jacek Kowalski odnosi się do pojawiających się w mediach fałszywych informacji dot. jego udziału w wystawianiu spektaklu „Millenium Koronacji Królewskiej” w Gnieźnie. W ubiegły weekend na Placu św. Wojciecha w Gnieźnie odbyła się premiera kontrowersyjnego widowiska. Spektakl początkowo wzbudził spore zainteresowanie publiczności, ponieważ łączono je z inną inscenizacją. Chodzi tu o widowisko „Orzeł i Krzyż”, do którego nasz gość napisał scenariusz i który wystawiany był w Murowanej Goślinie przez Centrum Kultury „Park Dzieje”. Jednak „Millenium Koronacji Królewskiej” nie miał z tą produkcją nic wspólnego. Prof. Kowalski wyjaśnia, skąd wzięły się nieprawdziwe informacje dotyczące rzekomego udziału jego oraz CK „Park Dzieje” w nowym widowisku zamówionym przez Miasto Gniezno.

You know the perm. You know the voice. You've probably fallen asleep to the sound of “happy little trees.” But behind the gentle persona of Bob Ross was a very real — and very bitter — legal battle over who would control his name, image, and legacy after he died.This week on Framed, we go deep into the world of Bob Ross Inc, the Kowalski family who built the brand, and Bob's son Steve, who's spent decades trying to reclaim what he believes is rightfully his. There's friendship, betrayal, alleged fake paintings, a CIA background, and… a squirrel named Peapod.

We talk about how to deal with news anxiety, the good things about feeling strange, how everything is political, the music that changed our lives, and a few other things!

Tu zaczęła się Polska – dosłownie. Ostrów Tumski w Poznaniu to pierwsze centrum władzy, wiary i kultury piastowskiego państwa. O jego wyjątkowym dziedzictwie mówił w Radiu Wnet dr Jacek Kowalski.Deweloperzy planują postawić bloki mieszkalne tuż obok Katedry Poznańskiej – w historycznym sercu Ostrowa Tumskiego. Według doniesień medialnych, powstać ma nawet 9‑piętrowa zabudowa. Obszar inwestycji znajduje się na terenach dawnej elektrociepłowni i ma być przekształcony w duże osiedle – przewiduje się tysiące mieszkań wraz z miejscami parkingowymi. Inwestycja wzbudza silny sprzeciw mieszkańców, historyków i ekologów, którzy obawiają się zniszczenia historycznego charakteru Ostrowa Tumskiego.Ostrów Tumski to nie tylko wyspa katedralna, ale jądro pierwszego państwa Piastów– mówił w Poranku Radia Wnet dr Jacek Kowalski, historyk sztuki, poeta i wykładowca Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu.To było centrum, gniazdo. Gniazdo jest też w Gnieźnie, ale tutaj także biło serce tego pierwszego państwa– mówił dr Kowalski, przypominając, że zanim jeszcze powstała pierwsza katedra, na Ostrowie Tumskim działała prawdopodobnie stacja biskupa Jordana, który przybył, by ewangelizować ziemie Polan.Jak to się zaczęło w PoznaniuW tym samym miejscu rozpoczęto budowę dużego jak na owe czasy kościoła, jeszcze zanim powstała archidiecezja gnieźnieńska. Dziś w podziemiach gotyckiej katedry można zobaczyć pozostałości katedry przedromańskiej – fundamenty i filary pierwszego wielkiego kościoła w Polsce. Obok niej znajdowało się palatium książęce z kaplicą, którą historycy uznają za najstarszą chrześcijańską świątynię w państwie Polan. Nad jej fundamentami wznosi się dziś gotycka kolegiata Najświętszej Marii Panny.Jak podkreślał gość Poranka Radia Wnet, świadomość wyjątkowości tego miejsca przetrwała przez stulecia. Jeszcze w XV wieku ksiądz rezydujący przy kolegiacie nosił tytuł kapelana królewskiego – mimo że król od dawna już tam nie rezydował.Ostrów Tumski z czasem stał się duchowym miasteczkiem. Po lokacji Poznania w XIII wieku i powstaniu Starego Miasta po drugiej stronie Warty, wyspa została przekazana kapitule i biskupowi. Otoczona gotyckimi murami, wypełniona kanoniami, katedrą i innymi świątyniami, przypominała w swej strukturze miejsca takie jak Wawel czy Ostrowy w Płocku i Wrocławiu. Poznańska katedra, jak zauważył Kowalski, była jednak najstarsza – zarówno jako budowla, jak i prawdopodobnie jako katedra diecezjalna.Na Ostrowie Tumskim znajduje się również późnogotyckie Kolegium Lubrańskiego – drugi, obok krakowskiego Kolegium Maius, zachowany w Polsce przykład średniowiecznego kolegium.To miejsce wspólnego przebywania uczonych i uczących się. Powstało na początku XVI wieku i jest bardzo ważne w historii sztuki i nauki polskiej– zaznaczył.Jak zmieniała się okolica Ostrowa TumskiegoDr Kowalski przywołał także swoje osobiste wspomnienia z dzieciństwa, gdy jako mały chłopiec wchodził na Ostrów Tumski z poczuciem, że dotyka tysiąca lat historii.Pamiętam tę niezwykłą ciszę. A potem – taki szok– dodał, nawiązując do brutalnych zmian, jakie przyniosły lata 60.W tamtym czasie przez Ostrów Tumski przeciągnięto trasę dwupasmową, odcinając katedrę i pałac arcybiskupi od seminarium duchownego. Zlikwidowano także most prowadzący na Śródkę — dzielnicę, z której parafianie przez wieki chodzili do katedry.To był cios w miasteczko duchownych, cios w archidiecezję, w wiernych. W imię nowoczesności zniszczono cały układ przestrzenny– mówił.Dziś, jak ostrzegł, pojawiają się pomysły, które mogą być powtórzeniem tamtego błędu. Dlatego, podkreślił, trzeba z wielką ostrożnością podchodzić do każdej ingerencji w to wyjątkowe miejsce.Ostrów Tumski to jądro naszego państwa, miejsce, gdzie zaczęła się Polska– podsumował dr Jacek Kowalski.

W Poranku TOK FM gościł prof. Tadeusz Kowalski, członek Krajowej Rady Radiofonii i Telewizji, który skomentował kulisy odejścia Macieja Świrskiego z funkcji przewodniczącego KRRiT. Opisał je jako wynik długotrwałego chaosu, ignorowania członków Rady - nawet tych powołanych przez PiS - i braku transparentności. Prof. Kowalski relacjonował przebieg ostatnich posiedzeń Rady: po przerwaniu obrad 27 czerwca i zapowiedzi ich wznowienia 16 lipca, Świrski bez konsultacji przesunął termin aż na 8 sierpnia. "To była skrajna arogancja" - ocenił gość TOK FM. Dodał, że formalnie do zmiany przewodniczącego nie potrzeba nawet zebrania plenarnego - wystarczy zgodna decyzja większości. "Mogliśmy to zrobić przy kawie i ciasteczku" - skwitował z przekąsem. Jego zdaniem oficjalna rezygnacja Świrskiego była nieunikniona.

Osiedla mają powstać także po drugiej stronie rzeki. Całość ma liczyć około 10 tysięcy mieszkańców. To wizja wręcz przerażająca – mówił prof. Jacek Kowalski w możliwym zabudowaniu Ostrowa Tumskiego.Wydawało nam się, że to jest oczywiste, że Ostrów Tumski to jest coś takiego jak Wawel – a nawet więcej – bo na Ostrowie Tumskim Polska się zaczęła. To są zresztą słowa świętego papieża Jana Pawła II: „Pamiętajcie, że tu się Polska zaczęła”. Bo tu był jeden z głównych grodów państwa Piastów w X wieku. Tutaj stanęła pierwsza polska katedra. […] To właśnie tutaj zaczął się też Poznań jako miasto– powiedział na początku rozmowy w Poranku Radia Wnet prof. Jacek Kowalski, historyk sztuki.Ekspert odniósł się do już podnoszonej na antenie Radia Wnet sprawy, czyli możliwego zniszczenia historycznego charakteru poznańskiego Ostrowa Tumskiego poprzez planowaną gigantyczną inwestycję deweloperską. No i nagle taka hiobowa wieść, dla wielu szokująca, a dla środowiska historyków sztuki i miłośników zabytków szczególnie: że na tej wyspie, w północnej jej części, ma powstać gigantyczne osiedle. Jak na skalę wyspy – naprawdę ogromne. Ma pomieścić 5 tysięcy osób. Osiedla mają powstać także na Małej Wyspie i na wybrzeżu Cybiny – po drugiej stronie rzeki. Całość ma liczyć około 10 tysięcy mieszkańców. To wizja wręcz przerażająca– mówił.Ekspert tłumaczył dlatego według niego ta „wizja osiedla jest taka przerażająca”Po pierwsze – to jest wyspa Pierwszych Piastów. Nie byle jakie miejsce. Choć niezagospodarowana, stanowi część wyspy katedralnej, środek miasta, jego „pępek”. Nie można tu realizować czegoś tak banalnego jak blokowisko – w dodatku z budynkami mającymi nawet dziewięć pięter, czyli wysokość ok. 30 metrów. Obawiamy się, że będą one widoczne w tle katedry. Projektanci twierdzą, że nie – ale nie jesteśmy tego pewni. W tle są zapewne duże pieniądze dużego inwestora – zresztą już ujawnionego po bokach wyspy– zaznaczył.Co grozi historycznym budynkomWymienił też kolejne zagrożenie związane z tym, że „jeśli rozpoczną się prace budowlane, to będą one ogromnym zagrożeniem dla konstrukcji samej katedry oraz wielu innych zabytków po południowej stronie”.Choć zapewnia się, że cały ruch samochodowy nie będzie prowadzony wzdłuż katedry – to są naszym zdaniem puste deklaracje. W praktyce – dojazd do osiedla będzie się odbywał także tą drogą, bo planowany mostek prowadzi w zupełnie innym kierunku. Te wstrząsy mogą doprowadzić do pęknięć, a nawet – nie daj Boże – zawalenia się katedry czy kościoła Marii Panny. Takie są opinie archeologów i konstruktorów, którzy badali te zabytki. Ich fundamenty są kruche, a teren – niestabilny– wymieniał.Brońmy Ostrowa TumskiegoProf. Kowalski podkreśla, że dla Ostrowa Tumskiego nie jest jeszcze zbyt późno.Oczywiście można i trzeba się temu przeciwstawiać. W pierwszej kolejności – podpisując petycję skierowaną do władz miasta i prezydenta Poznania. Ona wnosi o to samo, o co apeluje pani Maja Komorowska: o anulowanie projektu i rozpoczęcie szerokiej debaty, co naprawdę powinno powstać na Ostrowie Tumskim Ale sama petycja to za mało. Nawet milion podpisów może nie wystarczyć. Dlatego warto też zabrać głos – nagrać krótkie wystąpienie, napisać w internecie, opowiedzieć znajomym. I nie dać się zniechęcić – to będzie długi proces, prawdopodobnie rozciągnięty na wiele miesięcy. Warto się przygotować na długą debatę i nie pozwolić, by temat zniknął z pola widzenia– wymieniał.Petycję w obronie Ostrowa Tumskiego można znaleźć -> TUTAJ.

On this episode of The Legal Impact, Professor Stanley Kowalski recalls President John F. Kennedy's South American initiative called the "Alliance for Progress," unveiled sixty years ago.

Today's Lake and Shed framed conversation is all about the Steve Kloves screenplay, The Secrets of Dumbledore, which is “based on a screenplay by J. K. Rowling.” Nick lays out the drama surrounding the third Fantastic Beasts franchise film and his favorite part of the movie (hint: it's about “confusion”). John reveals why Jacob gets a Snakewood wand and one without a core as well as why he thinks Kowalski is the embedded author in this series.New to the Lake and Shed Kanreki Birthday series? Here's what we're doing:On 31 July 2025, Joanne Murray, aka J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, will be celebrating her 60th birthday. This celebration is considered a ‘second birth' in Japan or Kanreki because it is the completion of the oriental astrological cycle. To mark JKR's Kanreki, Dr John Granger and Nick Jeffery, both Nipponophiles, are reading through Rowling's twenty-one published works and reviewing them in light of the author's writing process, her ‘Lake and Shed' metaphor. The ‘Lake' is the biographical source of her inspiration; the ‘Shed' is the alocal place of her intentional artistry, in which garage she transforms the biographical stuff provided by her subconscious mind into the archetypal stories that have made her the most important author of her age. You can hear Nick and John discuss this process and their birthday project at the first entry in this series of posts: Happy Birthday, JKR! A Lake and Shed Celebration of her Life and Work.Tomorrow? It's back to real books, a novel written entirely by Mrs Murray, aka Robert Galbraith. We'll be discussing Ink Black Heart with Nick covering the front and the back of making Lake readings of Strike6 without a lot of circumspection and John talking about the eerie feeling he had while reading this book that the author was ‘having a go' at him.

Czy nominacja Sławomira Cenckiewicza na szefa Biura Bezpieczeństwa Narodowego to początek nowego politycznego starcia? Choć sam Cenckiewicz zapowiada „harmonijną współpracę” z rządem Donalda Tuska, jego dotychczasowa postawa sugeruje raczej kurs konfrontacyjny – szczególnie że Tusk postrzegany jest przez niego jako przeciwnik ideologiczny. Nominacja ta nie była oczywista – w PiS preferowano kandydatów blisko związanych z Mariuszem Błaszczakiem. Ostatecznie o wyborze Cenckiewicza zdecydowały jego relacje z Karolem Nawrockim. Tło nominacji wskazuje na upolitycznienie BBN i zwiastuje dalsze zaostrzenie konfliktu między obozem PiS a obecnym rządem. Generałowie Bryś i Kowalski, choć wymieniani wśród potencjalnych kandydatów, zostali tylko zastępcami. O tym wszystkim Karolina Lewicka w rozmowie z Katarzyną Kaczorowską.

Veteran crime reporter Bob Ward of Boston 25 News joins me for a candid conversation about the recent online hysteria surrounding a New England serial killer after 12 people have been recovered around Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Drawing from his nearly three decades as host of "New England's Unsolved," Bob shares the profound impact of covering cases like Theresa Corley's 1978 murder—a young woman he personally knew before her death. This intimate connection frames a deeper discussion about the responsibility journalists carry when amplifying victims' stories.The conversation turns to the troubling social media frenzy claiming a serial killer is responsible for recent bodies discovered throughout New England. While acknowledging the region's history with serial predators, we agree that there is cause for concern about how unfounded speculation harms legitimate investigations and re-traumatizes families. "It's very tempting to think that one bad guy or two bad guys are responsible for all this evil, "but I just don't think life works that way."  -Bob WardWe spotlight numerous cases deserving attention—Melanie Melanson, Debra Melo, Bruce Crowley, Reina Morales Rojas—whose families continue waiting for answers while internet sleuths chase shadows.• The justice system often fails victims' families by providing few updates while requiring them to repeatedly relive trauma at parole hearings• Online speculation about a "New England serial killer" diverts resources from legitimate investigations• Internet misinformation is causing real harm, from false confessions to wrongful accusations• True crime advocacy should focus on supporting families and respecting victims rather than sensationalizing casesJoin us at Middlesex County Superior Court on Monday, May 12th at 10am for the arraignment in Charlene Rosemond's murder case, whose family has waited 16 years for justice.Other cases included: Andy Puglisi, Beth Brodie, Jeffrey Curley, Janet Downing, Colleen Ritzer, Shaun Ouillette, Miguel Oliveras, New Bedford Highway murders, Boston Strangler, Henry Bedard, Jr, Deanna Cremin, Bruce Crowley, Brittany Tee, Maura Murray, Shannan Gilbert, Lonene Rogers "Lonnie's Law"Up next, the history of serial killers in New England.More at crimeofthetruestkind.comSupport the showFollow Instagram | Facebook | BlueSky | TikTok | Threads | YouTube For show notes & source information at CrimeoftheTruestKind.comGive the dogs a bone tip jar: buymeacoffee.com/truestkindBecome a patron: Patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkindThis podcast has minimal profanity but from time to time you get one or some curse words.

Justice is coming for Charline at last! News broke this week in her 16-year-old murder case. The first real hope for justice for Charline and her family. On Thursday, April 10, Middlesex County District Attorney Marion Ryan announced the arrest of Heinsky Anacreon, age 38, of Malden, Mass, who was indicted by a Middlesex County grand jury on charges of murder, willfully misleading a police officer and willfully misleading an attorney, charging him with first-degree murder in this cold case that has haunted Charline's family since the day she disappeared on April 7, 2009. The investigation revealed a heartbreaking betrayal - Charline was lured by so-called friends with the promise of a sweet deal on a car, only to be robbed and killed. Most disturbing perhaps is the evidence that after the murder, her killers celebrated with a bottle of Moet champagne and toasted their windfall. For those who've followed Crime of the Truest Kind, this case has been near to my heart. After sharing her case in a live show in 2024, and interviewing Charline's sister Rose (listen to episodes 71 and 72) last fall and advocating for this case at every opportunity, seeing this development brings joy. Nothing can bring Charline back or erase her family's 16 years of hoping and waiting for her killers to be caught. As we look toward a trial, I will continue following every development. Advocacy is key. After 16 years, there's finally been an arrest in the murder case of Charline Rosemond, a 23-year-old woman from Everett who was shot to death for $4,000 cash in 2009. Middlesex County District Attorney Marion Ryan has announced charges against Heinsky Anacreon, revealing that Charline was set up by someone she considered a close friend, Roberto Jude, who died before facing justice.• Charline disappeared April 7, 2009, she was found on April 13. • DNA evidence on the car's door handle linked Roberto Jude to the scene• Anacreon allegedly admitted to disposing of the murder weapon in a river• Charline's family will be meeting on April 13th at 3pm in Union Square, Somerville – the 16th anniversary of when she was foundMore at CrimeoftheTruestKind.comFacebook.com/justiceforcharlinerosemondSupport the showFollow Instagram | Facebook | BlueSky | TikTok | Threads | YouTube For show notes & source information at CrimeoftheTruestKind.comGive the dogs a bone tip jar: buymeacoffee.com/truestkindBecome a patron: Patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkindThis podcast has minimal profanity but from time to time you get one or some curse words.

The North Shore presents a postcard-perfect façade of historic towns and scenic coastline, beneath this charming exterior lies a darker history of unsolved mysteries that have haunted local communities for decades. During a sold-out live show at Off Cabot in Beverly, Massachusetts, we pulled back the curtain on cold cases that continue to echo through North Shore communites, revealing how justice finally arrived for Claire Gravel, a Salem State sophomore murdered in 1986, when DNA evidence identified her killer 36 years later. This stands in stark contrast to cases like six-year-old Jesus de la Cruz, who disappeared from Lynn in 1996 after being approached by a man with a distinctively marked dog, or Lois Centifanti, whose 1974 strangulation murder remains unsolved despite her body being discovered in Lynn Harbor.What makes these cases particularly haunting is the suggestion that some killers may have escaped justice not just through clever evasion, but through protection. The murder of 15-year-old Henry Bedard, Jr. in Swampscott has become what locals describe as "an open secret" – a case where community members whisper about the perpetrator but fear or family connections have prevented justice for nearly half a century. As audience members shared their own insights and connections to these cases, it became clear that many cold cases remain unsolved not for lack of information, but because relationships, fear, and sometimes nepotism have created walls of silence. We explore cold cases that continue to haunt local communities decades later while highlighting how scientific advances and changing relationships can bring resolution to seemingly hopeless situations.• Claire Gravel's 1986 murder case was solved in 2022 after 36 years through DNA evidence• Six-year-old Jesus de la Cruz disappeared from Lynn in 1996 after a stranger with a distinctive dog approached him• Lois Centifanti was murdered in Lynn Harbor in 1974, with friends receiving threatening notes to "keep quiet"• Leanne Redden vanished in 2013 on Marathon Monday, with her boyfriend returning all her belongings days later• Joel de los Reyes was found in Rumney Marsh after taking a Lyft from Chelsea• Karen Sharpe's 2000 murder by her husband received national attention due to salacious headlines rather than domestic violence issues• Henry Bedard Jr's 1974 murder remains what locals call "an open secret" in SwampscottDo you have information about these or other North Shore crimes?

More from our sold out live in March. We have decades worth of unsolved mysteries and forgotten tragedies in our own backyards. In this continuation of our show at Off Cabot in Beverly, Mass, in March, we plunge into the case of Beryl Atherton—a 47-year-old schoolteacher brutally murdered in her Marblehead home during a 1950 Nor'easter, her throat cut in the sign of a cross. Decades later, her killer remains unidentified and her story largely untold. Beyond the details of these chilling cases lies a deeper exploration of how society treats victims of violent crime. Too often, especially with female victims, their characters become posthumously dissected and villainized—a disturbing pattern that continues from Elizabeth Short (the Black Dahlia, who grew up just miles away in Medford) to modern cases. This victim-blaming serves as a psychological buffer, allowing us to believe such horrors only happen to people who somehow "deserve" it. Audience members are welcome to share their connections to local crimes. We know these aren't just stories; they're lived experiences that have shaped neighborhoods and families across generations. Most importantly, this episode introduces the work of a new Massachusetts-based victim advocacy coalition formed alongside documentary filmmaker Melanie McLaughlin and forensic anthropologist Dr. Anne-Marie Myers. Our mission exemplifies what I call "everyday advocacy"—sharing accurate information, supporting grieving families, and refusing to sensationalize tragedy at the expense of human dignity.We learn from these unfiltered conversations is the importance of advocacy.  The stories we tell about victims shape how we understand not just crime, but humanity itself.  • Case of Beryl Atherton, a 47-year-old Marblehead teacher murdered in her home during a Nor'easter in 1950• Discussion of how crime victims are often villainized posthumously, particularly women• Introduction of a new Massachusetts-based victim advocacy coalition with Anngelle, documentary filmmaker Melanie McLaughlin, and forensic anthropologist Dr. Ann Marie Miers (MMMPAC)• Open Q&A covering lesser known cases and the controversy around the Karen Reid murder case and its impact on our communities. More about this show at crimeofthetruestkind.com. Have a case, location for a show, ask a questiont?

Elizabeth Short grew up in Medford, Massachusetts. Her story has the most brutal of endings. Elizabeth's death has been twisted and exploited for nearly eight decades, transforming a young woman searching for her place in the world into the infamous "Black Dahlia." Beyond the gruesome headlines lies a more poignant truth – Elizabeth was simply searching for belonging in post-war America when her life was brutally cut short in January 1947.Elizabeth's story begins with abandonment during the Great Depression when her father faked his suicide, leaving her mother Phoebe to raise five daughters alone. Coming of age during World War II, Elizabeth witnessed profound social transformation as women entered the workforce and Hollywood's Golden Age created dreams of opportunity that drew her westward. Her nomadic existence in Los Angeles – moving between hotels, apartments, and boarding houses – reflected her struggle for stability in a city that promised much but delivered little.The medical precision of her murder points to a killer with anatomical knowledge, possibly connected to a medical school. Her body was bisected using a surgical technique called hemicorporectomy, completely drained of blood, and meticulously cleaned – all suggesting methodical expertise rather than frenzied violence. This clinical approach connects to a disturbing pattern of unsolved murders of women in Los Angeles between 1943-1949, raising questions about a possible serial killer targeting vulnerable women.Among the numerous suspects, Dr. George Hodel emerges as particularly compelling – a well-connected physician named as a prime suspect by a 1949 grand jury. His own son, former LAPD detective Steve Hodel, believes his father responsible not only for Elizabeth's murder but potentially for other unsolved cases from that era.Elizabeth deserves to be remembered as more than just a gruesome case study. She was a young woman with hopes and dreams, searching for her place in a world recovering from war. Her story reminds us of our responsibility when exploring true crime – to honor victims by recognizing their humanity first, separating sensationalism from truth, and treating their stories with the dignity they deserve.Send a message to the showSupport the showFollow Instagram | Facebook | BlueSky | TikTok | Threads | YouTube For show notes & source information at CrimeoftheTruestKind.comGive the dogs a bone tip jar: buymeacoffee.com/truestkindBecome a patron: Patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkindThis podcast has minimal profanity but from time to time you get one or some curse words.

It's Wednesday! Sam welcomes Joel Lava from Tesla Takedown and Mase Veney, an organizer from the Philly Whole Foods Union. First, Sam runs through updates on the Trump Administration's Signal scandal over their accidental leaking of war plans, the Supreme Court's affirmation of Biden's ghost gun regulations, Pennsylvania's special election, the HHS's anti-vaxxer-headed study on autism, trickling details about the legal status of certain Venezuelans renditioned to El Salvador, Trump/Musk's plan to lay off thousands from the Treasury, the Senate GOP's budget, JD Vance's visit to Greenland, SpaceX's secret Chinese backers, and Trump's nomination for Social Security head, before diving into some of the biggest updates to the Trump team's Signal scandal with the full release of messages after Tusli Gabbard's claim that there was “no classified” information in the chat. Joel Lava then joins, diving right into the idea behind the wildly successful “Tesla Takedown” protests in attempting to undercut the overwhelming political power by hitting at its root: his massive wealth tied up in Tesla stocks. After expanding on the greater anti-Trump roots of this, Lava and Sam unpack the protests' goals and how far the stock would have to fall to really screw over Elon's business ventures, wrapping up with how you can join a protest near you – or even start your own! Mase Veney then dives into his personal history working at Whole Foods in Philadelphia, the initial bonding between coworkers over their shared experiences of mistreatment and the company's exploitation of the power imbalance, and the rapid evolution of the organizing process once he and his coworkers realized the overwhelming support the idea of unionization already had, quickly moving to work with United Food & Commercial Workers International to capitalize on their institutional knowledge of organizing within the grocery industry. After expanding on the important role UFCW played in helping them win the union vote with a strong majority, Veney and Sam shift into the Trump era, as they unpack how the company's refusal to recognize the union is bolstered by a neutered NLRB and a hostile Trump Administration, before wrapping up the interview by emphasizing the continuing campaign to keep the all coworkers invested in the fight, and how those of us outside can support the effort! And in the Fun Half: Sam watches MIke Walz try to sidestep questions about his Signal scandal from an incredulous Laura Ingraham, Senator Elizabeth Warren evicerates Trump's Social Security nominee and their relationship to DOGE, and Donald Trump shouts out the real one Chuck Schumer. Lis from California shares his perspective as a DACA recipient, and Kowalski from Nebraska unpacks Trump's terrible tariffs. Sam also watches Tim Pool and Co. go insane at the morally consistent belief in due process for all, and jumps off some criticism from the Pod Save guys as he espouses the need to unite pro-democracy and economic populist messaging. Tammy from Montreal explores a major win for Canada's indigenous communities, Nathan from Illinois talks organized religion and authoritarianism, and the MR Team dissects early results out of PA's special election, plus, your calls and IMs!

Elizabeth Short in life, The Black Dahlia in death. What do people really understand about the woman before she became the poster girl for true crime curiousities? Most know her as the Black Dahlia, but few know Elizabeth Short was a young woman whose life was marked by tragedy long before her brutal 1947 murder made headlines across America.In part one, we separate fact from fiction in the life of Elizabeth Short, who was born and raised in Medford, Massachusetts. Her tragic story has been sensationalized for decades, but few know about the real woman behind the gruesome headlines.Born in Hyde Park, Boston in 1924, Elizabeth was the middle daughter of five girls. Her early years took a devastating turn when her father, Cleo Short, lost everything in the 1929 Wall Street Crash and abandoned his family, staging his own suicide by leaving his car on a bridge. For twelve years, Elizabeth's mother Phoebe believed she was a widow, struggling alone to raise five daughters during the Great Depression.The family's world was upended again in 1942 when a letter arrived from the supposedly dead Cleo, revealing he was alive and living in California. Elizabeth, seeking connection with the father she thought dead, traveled west only to find disappointment. Their reunion lasted barely a month. Her life continued on a path of heartbreak when her boyfriend, decorated WWII pilot Major Matt Gordon, died in a plane crash just weeks before Japan's surrender in 1945.Despite media portrayal of Elizabeth as a "party girl," records reveal just one minor brush with the law—an underage drinking incident. The nickname "Black Dahlia" wasn't media sensationalism but originated during her time in Long Beach, inspired by her striking appearance: dark hair, pale skin, and signature red lipstick.The cruel irony of Elizabeth Short's story lies in how she's remembered only for her brutal end, while the resilient women in her family—her mother and sisters who lived well into their 90s—carried the burden of never knowing what happened to their beloved Elizabeth. By exploring her life before the headlines, we honor the real woman who existed beyond the infamous case that still captivates America's imagination.This is part one. In the next episode, I examine Elizabeth Short's final days and the enduring mystery of how this young woman met this fate and wSend a message to the showSupport the showNext live show, Thurs 3/13 at Off Cabot in Beverly, Mass.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Hal Singer, economics professor at the University of Utah, to discuss Trump's recent tariff threats. Then, she speaks with Cea Weaver, tenant organizer with Housing Justice For All and director of the New York State Tenant Bloc, to discuss the rent freeze campaign the organizations are working on. First, Emma runs through updates on the US' devastating jobs numbers as Trump plans to cut more federal workers, DOJ's threat to USAID workers, the dropping stock market, Trump's attack on the DOE, the GOP's attack on Medicaid, the censuring of Al Green, Senate Dems' decision to overturn Biden's crypto regulations, Trump's attacks on Ukrainian refugees and Gaza, Smotrich's visit to Washington, and Barnes and Noble's big labor wins, before watching James Comer attempt to discipline Ayanna Pressley for… submitting evidence about migrant lawfulness. Professor Hal Singer then joins, jumping right into an assessment of the “chaos and anxiety” spurred by the Trump Administration's economic and employment policies of destroying the federal government, and the long-term ramifications of straight up deleting financial protections for Americans, before shifting to the topic of Trump's indiscriminate tariffs, and his guiding strategy in all negotiations (domestic or foreign) of all stick-no carrot. After expanding on the shady relationship between Trump and his Big Tech crypto backers – particularly in the wake of an announced crypto reserve – and the dearth of economic theory to back his ongoing agenda, Professor Singer wraps up by highlighting the Democratic Party's need to return to policies centered on uplifting the working class' economic and labor power. Next, Cea Weaver and Emma dive deep into the ongoing push for a rent freeze for NYC's nearly one million rent-stabilized units, walking through the role it has already played among the Democratic primary in this year's Mayoral race, with myriad candidates coming out in support of a data-backed plan to reverse the tide of overwhelming rent inflation that has been, and threatens to continue to push out native, working-class New Yorkers. After expanding on the diverse and expansive coalition of constituents involved in this fight, and exploring how, exactly, rent-stabilized units are hit by rent inflation (hint: Andrew Cuomo), Weaver wraps up with a final assessment of the current state of the NYC Mayoral race, and what a ranked ballot could look like. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt Binder as they work through an early assessment of 2028 Democratic hopefuls in the wake of Gov. Gavin Newsome's insane decision to debut his podcast via an amicable interview with Charlie Kirk, Kowalski from Nebraska gives an in-depth agricultural and economic update, and John from Montreal unpacks the torpedoing trust and approval of the United States abroad.

Reina Carolina Morales Rojas was last seen on Saturday, November 26, 2022 when she left her apartment in her East Boston neighborhood. She was seen getting into a vehicle that was headed to Somerville - reportedly to a friend's house. She is believed to have entered that building on Alston St. That is the extent of what we know. But we didn't know it until she was missing for 45 days. The Boston Police Department would eventually acknowledge their obvious negligence in notifying the public. There was no urgency. Critical time was lost. With insights from Marcela García, the first journalist to report on Reina's case, we navigate the emotional toll on Reina's family and the systemic shortcomings in media coverage and police responses that hinder the search for justice.The initial lack of response to her case, both from the police and the media, is a factor in why it took time for her disappearance to gain wider notice. Reina Carolina had only been in the Boston area for a short time and did not speak English, which may have presented additional challenges in her disappearance. Another missing persons case in the region had taken up the air in the room. Marcela García, Associate Editor and columnist for The Boston Globe, covers a wide range of topics, from public education and immigration policy to social inequities and the Latinx community in Boston and beyond.Marcela GarcíaBoston Globe report on her visit to El Salvador: A heartbreaking visit to the hometown of a missing Boston womanWomen's Media CenterFBIMMMPACSources list at crimeofthetruestkind.comSend a message to the showSupport the showFollow Instagram | Facebook | BlueSky | TikTok | Threads | YouTube For show notes & source information at CrimeoftheTruestKind.comGive the dogs a bone tip jar: buymeacoffee.com/truestkindBecome a patron: Patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkindThis podcast has minimal profanity but from time to time you get one or some curse words.

In our season finale, we see Sophie Hartman follow in the footsteps of the Kowalski family, Andrea's sister Megan Carter and others, as she files a lawsuit against Seattle Children's and the others who investigated her for Medical Child Abuse. Journalist Olivia LaVoice shares her thoughts about how this has all played out.  We hear Sophie rebranding herself as a ‘falsely accused' mother in a visit to her home congregation in Kalamazoo and examine the crossover between evangelical Christianity,  the parents' rights movement, and medical child abuse cases.  We reveal what we know about where Sophie and the girls are today.  *** Links and Resources: Learn more about our featured non-profit and mutual aid organizations: https://www.nobodyshouldbelieveme.com/nsbm-supports/ Check out You Probably Think This Story's About You: https://brittaniard.com/podcast Click here to view our sponsors.

In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of "Kowalski," the intriguing off-Broadway production at The Duke on 42nd Street. We explore Tennessee Williams' creative process during the birth of "A Streetcar Named Desire" and dive into the complex dynamics between Williams, Marlon Brando, and their director. From Brandon Flynn's standout performance as Brando to the evocative 1940s Provincetown Beach House setting, we dissect the play's strengths and areas for potential growth. Is "Kowalski" a necessary addition to the theatrical landscape, or does it leave audiences feeling indifferent? Join us as we debate the play's relevance, its potential for film adaptation, and what it reveals about the creative tensions behind one of America's most iconic plays.

Episode 78, part two of my conversation with Melanie Perkins McLaughlin, host of Open Investigation, about her missing childhood friend, Andy and what she discovered in her years researching his story.This is about missing and murdered children, and details about what led to their disappearance. Listen with care.Melanie Perkins McLaughlin, host of Open Investigation, the 9-part investigative podcast, and documentary filmmaker of "Have You Seen Andy?" shares her story of her missing childhood friend, Andy Puglisi, and the new discoveries in his almost 50-year-old unsolved case.This episode uncovers the tragic story of Andy Puglisi, who disappeared from a Lawrence, Massachusetts pool in 1976, revealing systemic failures in protecting vulnerable children. It explores classism, child exploitation, and the vital role of advocacy in creating safer communities for all children.The case of Andy Puglisi has haunted Lawrence, Massachusetts since 1976. With the invaluable insights of Melanie Perkins McLaughlin, Andy's childhood friend and relentless advocate, we explore the dark underbelly of child exploitation and systemic abuse. This episode peels back the layers of a time when trusted figures betrayed the innocence of children, and society was largely silent in the face of such horrors. Melanie's personal connection to Andy and her tireless quest for truth offer a poignant perspective on the lasting impact of these tragedies.We shine a spotlight on the institutional failures that allowed predators to thrive, from clergy abuse to the misuse of CB radios by pedophiles. Crucial legal changes, including the creation of the sex offender registry and Amber Alert System, arose from the heartbreaking cases of missing children like Jacob Wetterling and Andy Puglisi. Yet, these measures are just the beginning, as we emphasize the need for continued advocacy and legislative reforms to protect the most vulnerable among us. The haunting story of Andy's disappearance serves as a powerful reminder of the legacy we must honor and the children we must protect.This episode also delves into the systemic nature of abuse within institutions and the need for reform, focusing on real-life cases and the strength of community support. Through the voices of those affected, we call for justice and change, not only for Andy but for all who missing and murdered children. Send a message to the showSupport the showFollow Instagram | Facebook | BlueSky | TikTok | Threads | YouTube For show notes & source information at CrimeoftheTruestKind.comGive the dogs a bone tip jar: buymeacoffee.com/truestkindBecome a patron: Patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkindThis podcast has minimal profanity but from time to time you get one or some curse words.

This is about missing and murdered children. Listen with care. In episode 77, Melanie Perkins McLaughlin, creator and host of Open Investigation, the 8-part investigative podcast, and documentary filmmaker of "Have You Seen Andy?" shares her story of her missing childhood friend, Andy Puglisi, and the new discoveries in his almost 50-year-old unsolved case. Melanie recounts meeting Andy - the cute older boy - their blossoming friendship, and the last day she spent with him. Within hours of her leaving the pool that day, Andy was gone. Last seen in the late afternoon of Sunday, August 22, 1976 - this date is a detail that developed in Melanie's research for the podcast. It is a detail that has an impact on how law enforcement handled the investigation. It is one of the most important discoveries made during the research for the podcast. An unexpected revelation in a recorded audio tape uncovers a crucial clue, challenging previous assumptions about Andy's disappearance. As we recount childhood memories, we recognize the profound impact of childhood trauma. I believe the day Andy disappeared, marked the beginning of Melanie's advocacy journey to uncover the truth of her friend. We discuss the importance of scientific advancements DNA technology, genetic geneology, and  in identifying  solving cold cases.

It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with Lee Hepner, senior legal counsel for the American Economic Liberties Project, to discuss the recent overturning of net neutrality. Then they speak with Joshua Kaplan, reporter at ProPublica, to discuss his recent piece entitled "The Militia and the Mole." First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the DoJ's release of details related to Trump's Jan 6th- and Stolen Documents-related cases, mass evacuations amid wildfires in LA, Dem's retaining of the Virginia legislature, the North Carolina Supreme Court's anti-democratic move, the House's massive anti-immigration bill, DoJ action over the RealPage rent-fixing scheme and the prior weaponization of the department under Trump, Israel's ongoing slaughter of Gazans in supposed safe zones, and ACA expansion, before unpacking a recent report on the unsurprising misinformation around gender-affirming care for adolescents. Lee Hepner then joins, jumping right into an extensive history of Net Neutrality, stemming from the establishment of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) under FDR's New Deal to preserve open networks and fair communication, with the 1996 Communications Act expanding its coverage to the internet and contributing to the arguments to expand to full Net Neutrality building under Bush before coming to fruition under Obama, only to be killed and restored by Trump and Biden respectively, all leading to the recent 6th Circuit decision to, once again, kill it. After tackling what Net Neutrality exactly is (the mandate for providers to serve websites equally) and expanding on the particular role the overturning of the Chevron Deference Doctrine played in this decision, Hepner wraps up with tactics to push back against this decision, and whether federalism will help keep these corporations in line. Joshua Kaplan then walks Sam and Emma through his extensive reporting on the far-right militia American Patriots 3% (AP3), tackling their role within the wider extremist militia ecosystem and how they used that to distance the organization from the January 6th insurrection attempt before having a wider discussion on the initial backlash (even internally) to these organizations in the wake of 1/6 before a steady rhetorical pivot from Trump and the GOP reversed the tides completely, and why that should concern us heading into a second Trump Administration with threats of mass pardoning for violent participators and organizers of 1/6. After expanding on AP3's odd “big tent” identity amid right-wing militias, Kaplan touches on his extensive conversations with a mole from AP3 and the role Facebook played in the militia's outreach, before wrapping up with the genuine threat posed by the extensive military training of these groups, both offered by the groups themselves and aided by their extensive connections to police, military, and veteran organizations. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack the response from Mexico's President Scheinbaum to Trump's absurd statements on the US' territorial rights, the passage of the GOP's Lincoln Riley Bill with support from myriad Congressional Dems – including John “Manchin 2.0” Fetterman – to hand over immigration enforcement to the states (alongside the right to deport without criminal conviction). Chris Hayes reflects on the short history of Facebook's moderation team, John from Montreal on Trump's antagonization of US allies, and Kowalski from Nebraska parses through the future of farming amid threats to land ownership and more.

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Madi Oates, shift supervisor and bargaining delegate for Starbucks Workers United (SWU), based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Michelle Eisen, organizing member of SWU, to discuss Starbucks recent update to its parental leave policy. And then, Sam is joined by David Dayen, executive editor at The American Prospect and co-host of the Organized Money podcast, to discuss the prospects of the Democratic Party going into 2025 and beyond. First, Sam runs through updates on the GOP's continuing resolution, the Matt Gaetz ethics report, the Fed's rate cuts, Senate judicial confirmation, Lina Khan's FTC, Luigi Mangione, Palestinians' and Palestinian-Americans' suit against the State Department, Trump's legal woes, Amazon labor action, and the US' TikTok ban, also expanding on the GOP infighting around the continuing resolution and Mike Johnson's message to unelected billionaire bureaucrats Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Madi Oates and Michelle Eisen then join as they dive right into the major victory won by Starbucks Workers United in securing the same level of paid parental leave for Starbucks' workers as it provides for its executives, tackling the major exploitation and effort put on the company's pregnant workers and unpacking the various policy benefits that this negotiation has won. Stepping back, Eisen and Oates paint a picture of the major progress SWU has had in expanding its US presence, organizing some 5% of stores nationally, and the major progress they've made in securing rights and fair wages for their members, before looking forward to the future of this fight, as Starbucks' myriad open unfair labor practice cases and lack of a clear economic proposal come into their crosshairs. David Dayen then joins, first touching on the coalescence of a rudderless Biden Administration with a floundering Democratic Party that seems incapable of working as an opposition party, dissecting the overlap of these issues in the role the party's gerontocratic class putting their egos and ideological commitments over the need for the party to readapt to a younger electorate with vastly evolved concerns. Expanding on this, Dayen and Sam zero in on the role Nancy Pelosi has played in legitimizing this cling to power (even amid failure), with her recent obstruction of AOC's bid for Dem chair of the Congressional Oversight Committee serving as a key example of her refusal to back down from dictating a party for which she is no longer Minority Leader. Wrapping up, they assess the problem of Democrats' utter dearth of a plan for acting as an organized opposition to Trump, and whether internal dissent in the party will be able to push leadership back on track. And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks Trump's plan to privatize the USPS, with some helpful confusion added by a member of the TimCast team, before tackling RFK Jr's ongoing pivot right on abortion. Sean Hannity is suddenly pro-Europe, Kowalski from Nebraska helps us understand why food in the US is unhealthier than in Europe (freedom… and deregulation), and the DOGE caucus sets their sites on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Hillary from Brooklyn helps us understand the NYPD's attempt to charge Luigi Mangione with terrorism, and John from San Antonio parses through the turnout and demographic numbers for the 2024 election, plus, your calls and IMs!
