Notorious Pleasures is the second book in Elizabeth Hoyt's Maiden Lane series. Elizabeth Hoyt came onto the historical romance scene with her 2006 debut The Raven Prince. She writes strong characters who have opposing ideological centers to generate conflict. Lady Hero, the daughter of a duke, is set to marry Lord Mandeville, Thomas, in an advantageous society marriage. They will consolidate lands and interests and Hero can strengthen his parliamentary position . Her desire to marry Thomas comes about mostly so she can appease her brother, the one who arranged the match. Yet, it's Thomas' brother, Griffin, that catches Hero's eye. The feeling is reciprocated and made all the more complicated by the gossip that Griffin seduced Thomas' first wife.Support us on our Patreon!Visit our website for transcripts and show notes: reformedrakes.comFollow us on social media:Twitter: @reformedrakesInstagram: @reformedrakesBeth's TikTokChels' TikTokEmma's TikTokChels' SubstackEmma's SubstackThank you for listening!

On Thursday evening I passed by New York's leaning tower. We've all heard of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The modern day equivalent of that is the Millennium Tower in San Francisco. That building is leaning nearly 60cm, a little over 2 feet. Several attempts have been made to stabilize the Millennium Tower by underpinning the foundation and have actually destabilized the building even further. New York's leaning tower is right on the East River and I was speaking on a yacht full of investors while taking a tour of NY Harbor. I got a close up first hand view of the building. We passed my so many iconic landmarks from the water including Rikers Island, Ellis Island, Lady Liberty, the Battery, the new Freedom Tower. I was even able to get a photograph of one of my mother's buildings from the water. She was an architect in Manhattan at one of New York's premiere architecture firms. The building in question has been fully erected, all 60 stories of poured concrete. It's all happening over at One Seaport or 161 Maiden Lane: 60 storeys of prime real estate on Manhattan's East River waterfront. At first glance it may look like any other construction project downtown. But look a lot closer, and you'll find it's actually leaning 8 centimetres, or three inches, to the north. The North side of the building consists of a sheer wall made of solid concrete. It's an incredibly narrow building. From the water it seems pencil thin. Manhattan island is ideal for building tall buildings. Most of it sits on solid bedrock which is made mostly of slate. But a building which is directly on the East River will have brackish salt water do contend with at the foundation level which will make the soil underneath the tower more fluid. --------------- **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

I met Tom on Maiden Lane and Broadway just days after September 11, 2001. He was standing like a statue looking up at the smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center. Many years later, I was reminded of Tom when I posted his photograph to my Instagram account in 2016. Sadly, when I googled him, I found his obituary. He passed away in 2012, but I thought his family might appreciate receiving a print of the picture, so I mailed a copy with a note to the funeral home. In September of 2023, I received a call from one of his daughters, Jo Ann, who told me that she had just received a print from the funeral home. The funeral home had been bought and sold and the new owners were going through the files when the print I had sent to the Stevenson family popped up. This episode is the story of a larger than life man told by two of his 10 children, Jo Ann and TJ, 10 years after his death and 22 years after I made the picture. Show notes: This episode was produced by Greg Miller in June 2023.

Descubra a intrigante conexão entre o gênio do Iluminismo, Voltaire, e sua associação com a Maçonaria em seus últimos dias. Infância e educação (1694-1711): François-Marie Arouet, mais tarde conhecido como Voltaire, nasceu em 21 de novembro de 1694, em Paris, França. Ele era o caçula de cinco filhos em uma família de classe média e seu pai era funcionário do governo. A mãe de Voltaire faleceu quando ele tinha apenas sete anos. Criado em uma família religiosa, ele recebeu uma educação jesuíta no estimado Collège Louis-le-Grand, onde estudou retórica, filosofia e teologia. Durante seu tempo no Collège, Voltaire foi exposto a uma variedade de discussões intelectuais, incluindo as ciências populares e as obras de filósofos como Pierre Bayle e John Locke. Essas influências mais tarde se tornariam instrumentais na formação de suas ideias filosóficas, enraizadas no ceticismo e na tolerância. Apesar da insistência de seu pai para que ele seguisse a carreira de advogado, a verdadeira paixão de Voltaire era escrever. Iniciou o seu percurso literário com a composição da sua primeira tragédia, “ Édipe ”, ainda na escola. Sua paixão pela escrita e suas habilidades de pensamento crítico tornaram-se evidentes em uma idade jovem e mais tarde contribuiriam significativamente para seu sucesso literário. Carreira Inicial e Prisão (1711-1718) Após completar seus estudos, Voltaire seguiu brevemente os desejos de seu pai e trabalhou como secretário do embaixador francês na Holanda. No entanto, logo abandonou a carreira diplomática e voltou a Paris para seguir sua verdadeira vocação de escritor. Voltaire tornou-se conhecido por sua perspicácia e abordagem satírica das questões sociais e políticas. Suas opiniões bem articuladas sobre religião, governo e outros tópicos lhe renderam a reputação de pensador destemido e influente. Infelizmente, suas críticas implacáveis às normas sociais e ao governo levaram à sua prisão na Bastilha em 1717. Voltaire foi acusado de difamação contra o regente da França, Philippe II, duque de Orléans. Ele passou quase um ano na prisão, período durante o qual escreveu sua peça trágica, “Oedipe”. Libertado em 1718, Voltaire rapidamente ganhou destaque como dramaturgo e poeta. Sucesso literário e defesa das liberdades civis (1718-1733) Na década seguinte, Voltaire alcançou um sucesso literário significativo, produzindo obras de várias formas, incluindo peças teatrais, poemas, ensaios, obras históricas e tratados científicos. Seu talento multifacetado o ajudou a emergir como uma das principais figuras literárias do Iluminismo francês. No cerne das obras de Voltaire está sua defesa inabalável das liberdades civis. Ele era um firme defensor da liberdade de expressão, liberdade de religião e da separação entre igreja e estado. Ele criticou a estreita aliança entre a igreja e o estado, que ele acreditava impedir o progresso da ciência e promover a ignorância, o fanatismo e a perseguição. Suas perspectivas sobre essas questões alimentaram sua missão de educar as massas e melhorar as condições sociais. Os esforços de defesa de Voltaire se concentraram em desafiar dogmas intelectuais, promover a tolerância e abordar injustiças cometidas por poderes religiosos e políticos. Seu compromisso incansável com essas causas contribuiu significativamente para a fundação do movimento iluminista, que de fato mudaria o mundo. Exílio de Voltaire na Grã-Bretanha (1726-1728) Após uma disputa contenciosa com o Chevalier de Rohan-Chabot e um período de prisão na Bastilha, Voltaire solicitou o exílio na Inglaterra como punição alternativa. As autoridades francesas concordaram e, em maio de 1726, Voltaire embarcou em uma jornada que influenciaria significativamente seu desenvolvimento intelectual. Após sua chegada à Inglaterra, Voltaire se estabeleceu em Wandsworth e logo formou conexões com figuras proeminentes como Everard Fawkener . Mais tarde, mudou-se para Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, para ficar mais perto de seu editor. Sua estada na Grã-Bretanha permitiu que ele se envolvesse com mentes ilustres, como Alexander Pope, John Gay, Jonathan Swift e Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, entre outros. Voltaire foi especialmente cativado pela monarquia constitucional britânica, que contrastava fortemente com o absolutismo da França. A maior liberdade de expressão e religião da Grã-Bretanha o impressionou profundamente, assim como seus prósperos esforços literários e científicos. Em particular, Voltaire foi inspirado nas obras de William Shakespeare, embora relativamente obscuro na Europa continental na época. Apesar de sua crítica ao desvio de Shakespeare dos padrões neoclássicos, Voltaire apreciou a capacidade do dramaturgo de criar um drama poderoso e envolvente, algo que ele sentiu que faltava nas produções teatrais francesas. À medida que a influência de Shakespeare começou a se espalhar na França, Voltaire procurou desafiá-la com suas peças, tentando mostrar o equilíbrio entre a profundidade emocional e os padrões teatrais clássicos. O tempo de Voltaire na Inglaterra o expôs ao funeral do visionário cientista, Sir Isaac Newton, deixando uma profunda impressão no escritor francês. Inspirado por nomes como Newton e outros intelectuais britânicos, Voltaire começou a publicar ensaios em inglês que afirmavam sua recém-descoberta apreciação pela sociedade e cultura britânicas. Esses primeiros trabalhos incluem “Sobre as Guerras Civis da França, extraídos de manuscritos curiosos” e “Sobre a poesia épica das nações européias, de Homer Down a Milton”. Depois de dois anos e meio morando na Grã-Bretanha, Voltaire voltou para a França com uma visão transformada sobre política, religião e cultura. Suas experiências na Inglaterra moldaram suas perspectivas sobre liberdades civis, tolerância e os méritos de uma monarquia constitucional, influenciando significativamente seus esforços filosóficos e literários subsequentes. Pouco depois de retornar à França, a admiração de Voltaire pela sociedade britânica culminou na publicação de “Cartas sobre a nação inglesa” (publicado como “Lettres philosophiques” em francês). Esta coleção de ensaios incitou controvérsia devido ao seu elogio à monarquia constitucional da Grã-Bretanha, à liberdade religiosa e ao respeito pelos direitos humanos. Apesar de enfrentar censura e reação em sua terra natal, Voltaire permaneceu inabalável em suas convicções, profundamente influenciado por seu tempo na Grã-Bretanha. Relacionamento com Émilie du Châtelet (1733-1749) No início da década de 1730, Voltaire envolveu-se romanticamente com Gabrielle Émilie le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise du Châtelet. Émilie du Châtelet era uma potência intelectual e uma matemática brilhante, o que era altamente incomum para uma mulher de seu tempo. Ela foi inflexível sobre seu desejo de se envolver no trabalho intelectual e permaneceu dedicada a suas atividades, apesar da pressão social para cumprir os papéis tradicionais de gênero. Apesar de casada e mãe de três filhos, Émilie du Châtelet embarcou em um relacionamento apaixonado e intelectualmente estimulante com Voltaire. Os dois compartilhavam um intenso amor pela ciência, literatura e filosofia que os ajudou a formar um vínculo profundo. Eles trabalharam juntos em vários projetos científicos e realizaram experimentos em sua casa comum, Cirey, um castelo no nordeste da França. A parceria deles foi, sem dúvida, produtiva. Tanto Du Châtelet quanto Voltaire contribuíram para o trabalho um do outro, enriquecendo seus respectivos campos e ampliando os limites da investigação intelectual. Por exemplo, Du Châtelet traduziu e expandiu o Principia Mathematica de Isaac Newton, que foi fundamental na promoção de suas ideias científicas inovadoras na França. Por sua vez, Voltaire aprimorou suas habilidades em matemática sob sua orientação, incorporando essas ideias em seus escritos filosóficos. Seu relacionamento único, baseado na busca intelectual e no respeito mútuo, persistiu até 1749, quando Émilie du Châtelet faleceu tragicamente devido a complicações decorrentes do parto. Voltaire lamentou-a profundamente e continuou a reconhecer seu notável legado como cientista, matemática e figura influente do Iluminismo. Exílio na Prússia (1750-1753) Na década de 1750, Voltaire recebeu um cobiçado convite do rei Frederico, o Grande, da Prússia, que admirava a sagacidade e o intelecto do escritor. Ansioso por buscar oportunidades intelectuais na corte de Frederico, Voltaire deixou a França e mudou-se para a Prússia. Ele foi calorosamente recebido e os dois homens desfrutaram de uma admiração mútua um pelo outro, discutindo literatura, filosofia e política. No entanto, as tensões começaram a surgir entre Voltaire e Frederick devido a divergências sobre o trabalho criativo, filosofia e assuntos pessoais. O relacionamento inicialmente promissor se deteriorou, levando à saída de Voltaire da Prússia depois de apenas três anos. Vida em Genebra e Ferney (1755-1778) Depois de deixar a Prússia, Voltaire se estabeleceu em Genebra, onde continuou a escrever e apoiar causas justas. No entanto, os rígidos regulamentos na cidade protestante tornaram-se sufocantes, o que o levou a se mudar mais uma vez, desta vez para Ferney, um pequeno vilarejo perto da fronteira franco-suíça. Em sua residência em Ferney, Voltaire passou a maior parte das últimas duas décadas de sua vida. Dedicou-se a várias atividades intelectuais, incluindo a construção de uma grande biblioteca e um teatro. Voltaire também continuou a defender indivíduos perseguidos injustamente, emprestando sua voz e influência à causa deles. Anos Finais e Morte (1778) Em 1778, aos 83 anos, Voltaire voltou a Paris para supervisionar a produção de sua peça “Irene”. Ele foi recebido com grande entusiasmo pelo público parisiense, que o saudou como uma figura heróica do Iluminismo. No entanto, a saúde de Voltaire começou a piorar rapidamente e ele faleceu em 30 de maio de 1778. Apesar de suas críticas ao longo da vida à Igreja, Voltaire, ciente do potencial de seus restos mortais serem descartados em solo não consagrado, foi enterrado secretamente em uma abadia em Champagne. Seu túmulo foi posteriormente transferido para o Panteão de Paris, onde seus restos mortais repousam ao lado de outros grandes pensadores franceses, como Rousseau e Victor Hugo. Obras e legado de Voltaire Ao longo de sua vida, Voltaire escreveu inúmeras obras que deixariam uma impressão duradoura nas gerações futuras. Algumas de suas obras mais notáveis incluem "Candide", "Zadig", "The Age of Louis XIV" e "The Maid of Orleans". A escrita prolífica de Voltaire serviu como testemunho de sua genialidade e de sua dedicação incansável à busca do conhecimento e do progresso. Como pioneiro do Iluminismo e feroz defensor das liberdades civis, as ideias e contribuições de Voltaire deixaram uma marca indelével no mundo. Seu compromisso inabalável em desafiar o status quo e promover a liberdade de pensamento continua sendo um exemplo inspirador para todos os que lutam pelo progresso intelectual e social. Voltaire e a Maçonaria La Loge des Neuf Sœurs (As Nove Irmãs), fundada em Paris em 1776, foi uma proeminente Loja Maçônica Francesa do Grande Oriente da França que foi influente na organização do apoio francês à Revolução Americana. O nome se referia às nove Musas, filhas de Mnemosyne/Memory, patronas das artes e das ciências desde a antiguidade e há muito tempo significativas nos círculos culturais franceses. Em 1778, ano em que Voltaire se tornou membro, Benjamin Franklin e John Paul Jones também foram aceitos. Benjamin Franklin tornou-se Mestre da Loja em 1779 e foi reeleito em 1780. Quando Franklin, após uma longa e influente estada na Europa, retornou à América para participar da redação da Constituição, Thomas Jefferson, um não maçom, assumiu o cargo de enviado americano. Voltaire foi iniciado na loja em 4 de abril de 1778, em Paris; seus regentes foram Benjamin Franklin e Antoine Court de Gébelin. Ele morreu no mês seguinte. Sua filiação, no entanto, simbolizava a independência de espírito que Les Neuf Sœurs representava. Benjamin Franklin, um dos Pais Fundadores dos Estados Unidos, foi uma figura chave na loja. Ele serviu como Venerável Mestre da loja de 1779 a 1781. Sua influência e conexões desempenharam um papel significativo na promoção do relacionamento entre a França e os emergentes Estados Unidos durante a Revolução Americana. Em conclusão, Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin e a Loge des Neuf Sœurs em Paris estavam interligados. Todos faziam parte desta influente Loja Maçônica, que desempenhou um papel significativo no cenário cultural e político da época. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/malhete-podcast/message

Well, listeners, it finally happened to us! Kelsey accidentally recorded with the wrong mic, so while our audio isn't quite the quality you're used to, the content still is! James Trevellion has been Lady Phoebe Batten's bodyguard for almost a year. While his presence seemed just another way for her brother to limit her freedom, she reconsiders his usefulness after he thwarts a kidnapping attempt. While she admits she needs him to keep her safe, she cannot help but feel more interested in him as a man than a guard. James has admired Phoebe from the start but never dreamed she would return his feelings. Yet when Phoebe suddenly kisses him one night, he's faced with a choice: make it clear he is only her brother's employee or give in to his deeper feelings.

The Maid of Maiden Lane audiobook by Amelia E. Barr. The Maid of Maiden lane is a wonderful love story in which Amelia E. Barr intertwines the hot political and social issues that were occurring in America during the last decade of the 18th century with an excellent love story plot. Some of those issues include: the moral dilemma and debate over the French Revolution, and how that event touched the lives of the immigrants in America; the prejudices between the immigrants from England, and those from France or Holland, and how those animosities affected the ordinary lives of the people; and the political debate over titles, foreign policy, and such things(for example)as where the capital of the nation was to reside, New York or Philadelphia. The author gives us a picture of New York City that is vastly different from today, with it's residential areas and tree lined roads as the backdrop for this very interesting drama. Cornelia, the Maiden of Maiden lane, is loved by two young men. Who she chooses, and the obstacles that the two face because of the opposition of their fathers, friends, and a huge mistake that turns everything upside down, propels the story towards its climax, where a surprise character, spiritual in nature, comes to the rescue, while sacrificing her own desire for love to help the two lovers. Good character, love, and the family ties and relationships that existed during those times are very well portrayed by the author, and the book is as interesting from a historical point of view as it is from a truly interesting and sweet old fashioned love story.
We are very sorry if this is your favorite Maiden Lane because it is not ours. The groundwork for the rest of the series, however, is excellent. Goodness knows we dig Hart's Folly
We kick off our deep dive into Maiden Lane with... the beginning. Lazarus and Temperance felt secondary to world building, but Hoyt delivers on hotness and tragedy, if that's your thing.

What you'll learn in this episode: The history of JCK and the JCK Show How Victoria identifies trends to highlight in JCK Why the line between women's jewelry and men's jewelry has blurred, especially among younger consumers How travel influences jewelry design The most exciting new designers Victoria has her eye on About Victoria Gomelsky Victoria Gomelsky is editor-in-chief of JCK, a New York City-based jewelry trade publication founded in 1869. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Robb Report, AFAR, WSJ Magazine, the Hollywood Reporter, Escape, The Sun and Waking Up American: Coming of Age Biculturally, an anthology published by Seal Press. She graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from UCLA with a BA in political science in 1995 and earned her MFA in nonfiction writing from Columbia University in 2002. She specializes in jewelry and watch writing but her greatest love has always been travel — 60 countries and counting. Victoria was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and emigrated to the United States in 1978 with her parents and twin sister, Julia. She divides her time between New York City and Los Angeles. Additional Resources: Victoria's Website Victoria's Instagram Photos: Victoria Gomelsky watches: Transcript: Victoria Gomelsky, editor in chief of esteemed jewelry trade publication JCK, was bitten by the travel bug during her first-ever trip—when she and her family immigrated to the U.S. from the Soviet Union in the late 1970s. Since then, she's visited more than 60 countries, often traveling to visit jewelry shows and report on jewelry trends. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how her career in jewelry started with a mysterious online job posting; why Gen Z is changing the way we categorize jewelry; and where to find her favorite jewelry destinations. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is a two-part Jewelry Journey Podcast. Keep your eyes open for part two, which we'll be posting later this week. Today, our guest is Victoria Gomelsky, editor-in-chief of the well-known industry publication JCK. Victoria is an accomplished writer. She's written about jewelry for the New York Times as well as an extensive list of respected publications. She also covers another of her passions, which is travel. She's had a quite a jewelry journey, as she was born in Russia and has been to more than 60 countries and counting. We'll hear all about her jewelry journey today. Victoria, welcome to the program. Victoria: Hi, Sharon. It's so great to be here. Thank you so much. Sharon: I will go into my normal questions, but my first question is—and it seems like a silly one—but you speak Russian, then? Victoria: I do. It's actually not that silly. I came here when I was five with a twin sister. We arrived at JFK in December of 1978, pretty much the height of the Cold War. So, my sister and I really did not want to be Russian, as we were five, six years old. We didn't want to be different from our classmates. So, we started speaking quite quickly in English, and that's how my language developed. I could understand Russian, but in terms of speech, I am not a great speaker. Those are really two different centers in the brain, as I realized. I can be a very good tourist. I can go to St. Petersburg or Moscow, ask for directions, order food at a restaurant, but if you want to have a deep conversation with me about business or anything that requires an extensive vocabulary, it's not going to be me. But I can understand pretty well. Sharon: It always fascinates me. Did you speak any English when you came here? Victoria: No, but having a twin sister and being five, you're a little bit of a sponge. I've read that before age seven, if you pick up another language before that age, that's more or less the cutoff. You can learn to speak quite fluently very quickly, and we did. We didn't know any words. We stopped in Vienna on the way out of the Soviet Union, and then we lived outside of Rome for a few months, so I probably picked up some Italian then, too, come to think of it, not that it stuck. But when we got to the States, it all happened very quickly. I really don't remember learning English. It was almost as if I picked it up by osmosis. Sharon: Wow! It's a great way to learn, in terms of thinking about how it is to learn a language. Your English has solidified in a sense. Victoria: Exactly. Sharon: Were you artistic then? Were you already artistic? Do you consider yourself an artistic person? Victoria: It's a good question. I don't know. I consider myself creative. My sister—again, I have a twin sister; she's really the artist of the family. She's much more visual. She's a graphic designer, an artist. She creates collages and all kinds of things with her hands. I'm not dexterous at all, so my creativity is on the page, what I write and how I see the world. So, I don't consider myself an artist, but I do consider myself a creative. Sharon: Does she call you up sometimes and say, “What were you thinking about that layout on the page?” Victoria: Oh yeah, she's super-critical. Trust me, I do not design or do anything around the home that doesn't get her buy-in, because if I don't get her buy-in on it, she'll come over and say, “Oh my God, I can't believe you put that on the wall.” She'll never let me hear the end of it. So, I make sure to get her buy-in on any artistic or design-oriented decision I have to make. Sharon: She must be a great resource for you in terms of what you do. Did you come to jewelry through writing, or did you have a love of jewelry? How did that work? Victoria: I came through writing. It was all quite random. I'll share the story because it's really my story; it's my original tale, I guess you would say. Sharon: It's a journey. Victoria: My journey. This was the beginning. I was in living in L.A. I was 25. I really wanted to move to New York, and I was too scared to move without a job or without knowing anybody. I really wanted to continue my writing career. I had been a journalist. Even though I majored in poli-sci at UCLA, I had always worked for the Daily Bruin. I had done internships at various news organizations, some of them in the television field; some of them were written publications. I applied to one MFA program in total, and that was the Columbia University Master of Fine Arts program in their non-fiction writing department, specifically. That's the only school I applied to, because I wanted to move to New York and I wanted to continue writing, and that felt, to me, like the only possible way for me to do that. I moved to New York in August of 1998, did two years of this Master of Fine Arts program, and then didn't want to leave. I was still working on my thesis and finishing my degree when I started applying for jobs that were in the writing field. Mind you, this was 2000, so it was the very first wave of web jobs. It was Web 1.0. I didn't realize it yet, but it was on the verge of crashing. That crash we had in 2001 was coming, but I didn't see it then. There were a lot of jobs; a lot more jobs than people to fill them. I happened to go on Monster.com. I'm not sure if it's around anymore. It was a job search site. I had a profile on the site, and I happened to come upon a posting that said, “Luxury goods website seeks writer/editor with two to three years' experience. Click here to forward your profile to this employer.” I had no idea what that meant. It was very vague. At the time, you faxed people your résumé. I guess you could email, but a lot of times it was still faxed. There was just no information at all. It was literally a button. I clicked it and thought, “O.K.” and I forgot about it promptly. A few days later, I heard from a woman named Lisa at a company called Gemkey.com. I had no idea what that was, but it turns out Gemkey was a startup in the jewelry space. It was meant to be a website where retailers would go on and source their inventory online, which was laughable because 20 years later, that's still something that most retailers don't do. It was way, way, way ahead of its time. It was founded by Fred Mouawad, whose father is Robert Mouawad. Robert Mouawad is a Lebanese businessman who donated a ton of money to GIA. His name graces their campus in Carlsbad. GIA being the Gemological Institute of America. Sharon: That's why it sounded familiar. I was going, “Where do I know that from?” Victoria: Yeah. Anyway, Fred was the son. He was an entrepreneur. He was based in Bangkok, and he had this website that had an office in New York. They were looking for some editors to fill out the news section of their site. I was hired as their pearl and watch editor, and I had no idea about either category. I didn't even know pearls were cultured. I really had no language to describe them. I knew what a watch was, but I knew nothing. I could have named Rolex, Cartier maybe, and maybe Timex. I had been backpacking around the world in the late 90s prior to going to grad school, so I was living very scrappily and was quite frugal. I was in my early 20s, not really in the jewelry scene. One of my first trips was to a pearl farm in Australia to see the Paspaley farm located off the coast of Northern Australia. On the way there, I stopped in Bangkok to visit Fred Mouawad's main headquarters and meet some of my colleagues. On the way out, I stopped in Hong Kong to go to the pearl auctions, and I was hooked. It was a wonderful introduction to the world of jewelry, quite literally the world of jewelry. I had loved travel until then, and here was a way to combine my love of it with a way to explore this new category, this new universe. So, I came to jewelry through writing and then through travel. Sharon: That must have been so exciting, to be writing about something you found you loved as opposed to—I don't know. I'm trying to think of some of the things I've had to market over the years where it's like, “You've got to be kidding me.” Victoria: Yes, I think that was one of the things I learned quite early. My job with Gemkey didn't last long because it got bombed not that long after. I think I was employed with them for eight months or so, and then I got laid off because the company was losing money. I ended up getting hired almost right away by National Jeweler, which at the time was close to a hundred-year-old publication. It's still around, not in print form, but it's around in digital form. It was founded, I believe, in 1906. It's really an industry trade like JCK, one of the stalwarts of the business. I got hired as their gemstone editor. I got to National Jeweler, and I realized the company—National Jeweler at the time was owned by a bigger corporation that owned lots of different publications, everything from the Hollywood Reporter to Billboard Magazine to a publication called Frozen Food News. I realized there are so many different niches in the world, and as a writer, I was grateful I didn't slip into the frozen food world, but the music world is great. If you enter music via Billboard, what a great way to learn about music. I happened to enter through the trade of jewelry, and that was a wonderful way to get down into the trenches of an industry that is quite esoteric, quite hard to penetrate, and it still is. All these years later, there's still so much to learn about jewelry, but starting out through a trade was the key. When you're a trade reporter, you get to talk to dealers; you go to tradeshows; you learn from a very ground-up level, as opposed to being an editor of Vogue, where you don't get to see the real world. You spend your time in the limelight. You get to see all kinds of topical designers, but you don't always get the nitty-gritty details, that insight into the supply chain and insight into how a gemstone might emerge from the ground and the steps it takes to become a beautiful jewel. That all came through the trade, so I was very grateful to have that experience and the years and years I spent going to the Tucson shows to research the world of gems, to Basle to speak to high-end jewelers in Europe. There were all kinds of events. I have had a very unique perspective on this trade and the world at large through the lens of jewelry. Sharon: Do you find that writing about jewelry has its own language, in a sense? It's like writing about sports. I couldn't write about sports. Victoria: Very much so. The lingo takes a long time to understand. People think of jewelry as a very superficial subject. I think people who don't know about jewelry will perhaps think, “Well, it's just a bauble. It's just something you put on to sparkle, to add a little or to show off your status, whatever it is.” But there are so many layers to jewelry, and the way you talk about it gets ever more complicated the more you know. There's a whole language around diamonds and gemstones and the ways you describe color, not to mention all the ways you talk about the fabrication of jewelry. That's always eluded me a bit. I've been to factories, and I've been to places where jewelry is made, and that still feels like a topic that's difficult for me to access because I don't have a brain to understand mechanics or engineering. When people are sitting there at the bench trying to tell me the steps of the process, I always get a bit lost. It does feel like a very complicated venture, but I have been fortunate enough to see a lot of that. Sharon: No, I can understand. I was at some design show, and there was a jeweler talking about how much of jewelry is engineering. He was talking about getting the piece to balance, but it's also when you're talking about extrusions when a piece of jewelry is being manufactured. So, you went into nonfiction. Was that something where you said, “I'm not a fiction writer”? Victoria: Yeah, pretty much. I love fiction and I love poetry, but it never felt like a natural pursuit for me. I was always interested in telling stories, and the stories that really compelled me or held my attention were always nonfiction. I think we all know that truth is stranger than fiction. We've all had the epiphany many times throughout lives, I'm sure, where we realized that the stories in front of us are as compelling as anything made up. My entrée into that world was initially through The Daily Bruin, which was a huge college newspaper at UCLA. I learned the basics of being a reporter and a journalist and hunting down sources and doing interviews, but at the same time I didn't love the grind of a daily journalism beat. It was good training, but when I applied to Columbia, I specifically did not apply to the journalism school. I applied to the arts program, to the Master of Fine Arts program, and I was drawn to the writings of, say, a Joan Didion or a Tom Wolfe or polemicists or memoirists—a lot of fiction authors who write beautifully in nonfiction or have beautiful examples of nonfiction in their repertoires. I was drawn to the kind of writing that was true, that was honest, but that still held all the same elements of a good fiction tale. It had characters, dialogue, a plot. I probably don't do as much of that kind of writing as I hoped I would, or as much as I wish I could, because I'm making a living. I write journalism; I write stories, but in all the stories I write, I really try to spend a lot of time with the people who are my sources and get their stories. I really try to convey a sense of story, even if it's a short piece that's running in a newspaper. I do as best as I can in that limited word space with a storyline. Sharon: Tell us about your job as editor. Are you pulling together all the departments, like you see on TV editorial meetings? Victoria: It's a little bittersweet, because JCK—for those of you who aren't familiar, I'll tell you a little bit about what that stands for, because it's a mouthful. JCK goes back to 1869. It wasn't always JCK, which, by the way, stands for Jewelers' Circular Keystone. Jewelers' Circular was a publication in the 30s that merged with another jewelry publication called Keystone. From then on, they were called Jewelers' Circular Keystone, until the 70s when they shortened it to JCK. So, that's what those three initials stand for, but initially, it goes back to 1869 in Maiden Lane, New York, where the fledging jewelry district was growing up. There were watchmakers and jewelers who needed a publication to help them source their materials, help them sell. Various publications formed around them, and they eventually merged and aligned. What we know as JCK today really comes out of Maiden Lane in the 1870s. It's pretty stunning to think about. I joined the magazine in 2010. I had moved back to Los Angeles after nearly a dozen years in New York because I was ready to move. I moved back in late 2009. I had lost my job with National Jeweler after the financial crisis, and that was fine. I had been there for eight years or so, so it was time to move back to California where I grew up. About six months after I landed back in L.A., I ended up getting asked by a friend of mine who was the publisher of JCK if I'd be willing to take a temporary job with JCK as their editor. They were looking for a new editor. They were looking for somebody in New York, but they needed somebody to get them over the hump of a few issues. I thought, “Great, this is a perfect bridge job as I find my footing back in L.A.” Well, as it turns out, it was not that hard to manage a publication from L.A. because I knew the industry. I had my contacts. I even knew my colleagues because I had worked with them. They were editors at JCK, but I had met them many years ago, as I was one of their cohorts in the jewelry media space. So, I knew the people I was working with. After six months or so, everybody thought, “Hey, this is actually going pretty well,” so they brought me on full time. Luckily, I had an apartment in Brooklyn Heights that I had sublet out and hadn't gotten rid of, so I was able to come back to New York once a month for about a week. For about six years, I was truly bicoastal, from 2010 to about 2016. In that time, JCK continued to be—its tagline is “the industry authority.” It's been reporting on this business for so long, and it was exciting. At first, we started out with 10 print issues a year. We had contributors; we had staff writers; we had a whole publishing team. Slowly over the years, that print frequency has shrunk. It became seven issues a year. Then it shrunk down to four print issues a year; mind you, with a robust website and a very strong daily news presence online, but print has always continued to shrink in this environment. As of this year, we went down to one print issue a year. That harried newsroom where people are running around and there are photoshoots happening, that did happen and still does happen, but just not to the frequency and level that you might imagine of a busy magazine publishing schedule. The good thing is that we're published by a company called Advanced Local that is based at One World Trade Center in New York. Of course, nobody's been in the office for a good long while now, but when we are in the office, it's the same parent company, Condé Nast, so we use the same studios to do our photography. We rely on the same talent in terms of photographers and stylists that Vogue and GQ do. So, we have a really good team of people. They're not directly staffed. They're not members of the JCK staff, but they are people that are available to us. We have a wonderful creative director, again, somebody who's a freelancer, but works with top magazines, a wonderful photo editor. When we do get back to being in the office, I'll certainly fly out to New York and partake, or at least be a witness to the photoshoots we do for our covers and our jewelry still lifes. But the hectic, frenzied nature of that has certainly calmed down. We do have, like I said, a robust online presence. We have a well-known news director named Rob Bates. He's covered the world of diamonds and jewelry news for 23 years, coming on 30, I think. We're staffed by some of the best in the business, but it definitely is a small, very scrappy operation. Sharon: So, during Covid, you've been doing this through Zoom, I take it. Victoria: Yeah, everything is through Zoom. We managed to get a bunch of photoshoots in right at the very beginning of March of 2020 that luckily saved us in terms of what we could produce through 2020. Then we did a photoshoot in May. There was that lull where things were looking pretty promising before the Delta variant, so we were able to do a photoshoot then. Like I said, now we're looking to 2022. We have a big issue coming out. It always comes out on the eve of the JCK Show. The JCK Show is the big Las Vegas tradeshow. It shares our name. I don't want to get too complicated with this, but the show was founded in 1992 as a spinoff from the magazine. The magazine existed for all these decades, and the team involved thought, “Hey, isn't it time we use our clout in the industry to form a tradeshow?” And so they began this tradeshow in Las Vegas that then grew to be such a big presence in such an important industry meeting place that the tradeshow ended up being bought by different exhibition companies, and it eventually landed with Reed Exhibitions, which is a big company headquartered in the U.K. with U.S. headquarters in Connecticut. They run a lot of tradeshows and exhibitions, and they ended up buying the magazine and then hiring a different company to publish it. That may be more than your listeners want to hear. It's kind of complicated, but the point is we are related to JCK, this big tradeshow, but we're also an independent editorial voice, so we aren't bound to only write about JCK. Sharon: That's interesting. What about Couture, which is part of the JCK Show, isn't it? Victoria: It's a separate company. In fact, National Jeweler, when I worked there, was owned by the company that—it's gone through many iterations. The company that runs Couture is called Emerald Exhibitions, and they're headquartered in New York. That was the company that owned National Jeweler at some point. There's a lot of overlapping relationships in this world. Couture and JCK are separate companies, separate entities, but they happen at the same time in Las Vegas to make it easy for members of the jewelry industry to shop the shows. There are different points of view. Couture is very much focused on couture-level, high-end designer jewelry. JCK has that, but it also has everything else you might imagine, everything from packing to loose diamonds, loose gemstones, dealers from Hong Kong, Turkey, China when the Chinese are able to visit. JCK is much more a mass marketplace for the entire industry, and Couture is much more focused on high-end design. They're complementary and I love going to both.

This series of The Sound of the Hound ends with an interview with Giles Martin, the Grammy-winning record producer and son of Beatles producer Sir George. With this episode it feels as though we've come full circle: Giles was there at the plaque unveiling that we featured in the first episode of the series. And his family has a direct connection to that Maiden Lane studio where it all began. Dave and James talk to Giles about his career to date, from the early days working with Britpop bands to his big breakthrough creating the music for the Beatles-themed Love show in Las Vegas (his inspired mash-up of Within You Without You and Tomorrow Never Knows sounds like The Chemical Brothers). They talk about how production techniques have changed over time and how technology continues to alter the way music is consumed and understood. The interview takes place in Giles's state-of-the-art studio (and we're talking incredible) and so it's hard not to make comparisons between today's recording kit and the cumbersome acoustic gear that Fred and his buddies lugged around the world just over 100 years ago. Which takes us to the Martin family link to The Gramophone Company and EMI, as it was later known. Talk about six degrees of separation. If it wasn't for Fred, then the Maiden Lane studio wouldn't have got off the ground. If it hadn't got off the ground, then the City Road studio wouldn't have followed, and neither would Abbey Road, which was opened in 1931. Without Abbey Road, Giles's dad George wouldn't have got a job out of the Guildhall School of Music, and without his father being in Abbey Road there probably wouldn't have been The Beatles. So you can trace a direct line from the exploits of Fred to the greatest and most important group of all time. Without one, there wouldn't have been the other. James, Dave and Giles talk a lot about The Beatles, inevitably. Not only about the 50th anniversary editions of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The White Album and Abbey Road that Giles remixed, but about how John, Paul, George and Ringo clicked. They talk about Beatles ‘what ifs…' and try to get to the bottom of the mystery of the box of instruments that – we think – directly links Fred to Yellow Submarine. There's so much more. Giles talks about working on the Rocketman film, on which he was music director. We discover just how you teach someone like Taron Egerton to sound like Elton John. We hear about The Rolling Stones. Giles recently remixed The Stones' Goats Head Soup album: how did their approach to recording differ to the Fab Four's? But, most memorably, Giles talks movingly about his father, his work and his great legacy. We hope you agree that this episode is a fitting end to the second series of The Sound of the Hound. If you've enjoyed it, please spread the word. See you soon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
With these episodes focusing on the life and work of the mighty Fred Gaisberg, we may have given the impression that he was his own boss. That would be wrong. Working for The Gramophone Company in London, Fred was answerable to a man called William Barry Owen. In this episode we tell Owen's story. It was his business acumen and vision that saw The Gramophone Company go from a pipe dream to a reality. We look at the Company through the prism of this fascinating man's stewardship.Despite his Welsh-sounding name, William Barry was actually from Massachusetts. A lawyer, an opportunist and a gambler, he sailed for London in 1897 to raise investment funds for the European arm of The Gramophone Company on behalf of Emile Berliner. He was, in effect, rolling the pitch for the music industry's arrival on this side of the world. When he arrived in London, William Barry hired one of the most opulent rooms at the Hotel Cecil on the Strand for business meetings, giving the impression that he meant business. It worked. Within a matter of weeks he had assembled a small syndicate of likely investors, chief among them being a London solicitor called Trevor Williams. The group acquired the European rights to Berliner's gramophone but, in a move that would prove decisive for the future of recorded music, the investors forced William Barry to commit to a strategy of recording European musicians rather than simply import records from America, which was what he was proposing. It was this change in tack that led to the arrival in London from the States of a certain Mr Fred Gaisberg. As Fred was weaving his sonic magic in Maiden Lane, William Barry (Managing Director) and Trevor Williams (Chairman) took care of business. William Barry didn't always get things right. When the gramophone initially failed to take off, he diversified the company into typewriters, a move that didn't work. And by the time that the company had moved into larger premises on City Road in 1902, it had already grown too big for the building. But in William Barry, we have one of the original and most often overlooked recording pioneers. So who was this man? What made him tick? And what did he do after he left the company in 1906? Dave and James find out, and play some cracking tunes along the way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Every hero has a sidekick. And in this episode we tell the story of Fred's wingman, the wonderfully named William Sinkler Darby. Five years Fred's junior, fellow American Sinkler was by his boss's side as he established The Gramophone Company in London and travelled the world to capture sound. Their tale is like a buddy movie: it's Batman & Robin meets The Hangover meets Lethal Weapon (if the weapon in question is an unwieldy mobile recording rig). Darby first worked with Fred in Emile Berliner's laboratory in Washington DC in the summer of 1897 (he got a job that Fred's brother Will had initially wanted, only to be banned by their father). Once in London, Darby proved himself to be the most reliable partner imaginable. He helped Fred in the newly established Maiden Lane studio before they headed to mainland Europe to make the Company's first continental recordings. Leipzig, Vienna, Budapest, Paris, Milan… they visited them all. There was a definite element of ‘boys on tour' to these trips, as Dave and James find out in this episode. There were many escapades, including a curious story involving a sausage in a sweltering train carriage in Spain. They then toured the UK and Ireland, recording in Scotland, Dublin and elsewhere. Darby was also with Fred on their ground-breaking recording expedition to Russia in 1900. But this was more than a Victorian bromance. The duo recorded hundreds of historic recordings. Darby was an accomplished engineer himself, and helmed plenty of recording sessions himself, both at Maiden Lane and at the City Road studio that followed. We play a selection of those tracks here. Perhaps keen to emerge from Fred's shadow, Darby went it alone with an interesting venture that we explore in this episode. The history of recorded music is packed with characters. But it's unlikely that a duo exist who did so much to kick-start the music industry as these two, and – frankly – had so much fun doing it. Hosted on Acast.

Maiden Lane - a "country dance" from John Playford's English Dancing Master, 1651. The dance and its melody is thought to be named after Maiden Lane in Covent Garden, and it is just one of a great number of dances called for London places. Situated between the Covent Garden Market and the Strand, Maiden Lane was originally a path running from Drury Lane to St Martin's Lane along the southern edge of the ‘Covent Garden': that is, the Convent Garden, belonging to the Benedictine monks of Westminster Abbey, and providing produce for their table. The street was first called Maiden Lane in 1636. A statue of the Virgin stood at the Eastern end of the lane, and this may be the origin of the name Maiden Lane. Another explanation is that it is a corruption of the Middle-English word ‘Midden'. Famous residents over the centuries include Louis Napoleon, Benjamin Disraeli, Voltaire and the artist J.M.W. Turner. Edward VII and Lily Langtry dined in Maiden Lane and William Terriss, a celebrated actor of his day was murdered here by a crazed understudy in 1897.

Fred's back! And he's got a plaque! The first episode of Series Two of The Sound of the Hound covers the unveiling of a commemorative plaque on the wall of Europe's first recording studio, opened by Fred Gaisberg in Covent Garden in 1898. The unveiling of the plaque, which is part of the Westminster Council Green Plaque scheme, followed a campaign by Sound of the Hound co-presenter James Hall.This opening episode was recorded live at the unveiling ceremony in the building at 31 Maiden Lane on 4 December 2019. We hear an introduction by Caryn Tomlinson, the chair of the EMI Archive Trust, who backed the campaign, and a speech by James before legendary drummer Roger Taylor says a few words and pulls the chord to unveil the plaque. That's right. Rock royalty. The previous Westminster Council commemorative plaque was unveiled on the old GCHQ building by the Queen. We went one better and got a member of Queen.The words on the plaque are simple: “In August 1898 Fred Gaisberg and The Gramophone Company opened Europe's first disc recording studio on this site.” But the stories in the building behind it are legion, as we hope we're showing in this podcast series. The episode continues with co-presenter Dave Holley interviewing attendees of the ceremony with his roving microphone. Dave talks to members of the City of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society, who kindly set up a demonstration of old gramophone machines for guests. It's the Antiques Roadshow meets Top of the Pops, and it's fascinating stuff. Also present is animator Jim Le Fevre, who brought along a special Fred Gaisberg edition of his Phonotrope invention, designed specifically for the day. We're thrilled that Fred's achievement is now publicly acknowledged for all to see. We're glad he's hanging around. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"if you've got a taste for London quirky and quixotic..."
COMING SOON New York, 1835: A city at its tipping point. It’s ten years since the completion of the Erie Canal. New York City’s population is now over 270,000. Most of these people live below Fourteenth Street in wooden or brick buildings no taller than five stories. The gap between rich and poor is rapidly expanding as each week thousands of new men and women pour onto New York’s dangerously overcrowded streets. Many come to earn an honest living. Others for more nefarious reasons. ___________ As New York grows, widening old streets and creating new ones is paramount. It raises property value, but property taxes can only increase if the land is improved upon. Buyers are purchasing land on credit and selling to someone new before needing to pay back the original balance. This artificial inflation is creating a very unstable economy. ___________ The city has no reliable source of drinking water. Although New Yorkers vote in favor of the Croton Aqueduct in April, construction is yet to begin. The aqueduct needs to be paid for. That same month, officials place a twenty-four hour guard in the cupola of City Hall to ring a large bell and hang a light in the direction of any fire. The potential for a cholera epidemic or a crippling blaze is a constant source of fear. ___________ These fears are stirred by the City’s penny papers, chiefly The Sun and The New York Herald, whose publishers Benjamin Day and James Gordon Bennett are battling for readership. In August, this battle leads to the greatest literary hoax of the nineteenth century—fooling both layman and scholar—portending the existence of intelligent life on the Moon. ___________ Even as he calls the hoax remarkable, Phineas T. Barnum is orchestrating one of his own. With the help of William Niblo, Barnum is set to display a woman named Joice Heth: Ms. Heth claims to be the one-hundred-sixty-one year-old nursemaid of George Washington. Remarkable indeed. ___________ New York is a powder keg. On the frigid, blustery night of December 16th, 1835, it finally explodes as the worst fire in city history sweeps through Manhattan. The East River is frozen solid. The undermanned and exhausted team of volunteer firefighters are no match. Everything south of Maiden Lane and east of Broad Street—the chief merchant district and the one with the highest property value—turns to ash. The fire causes the modern equivalent of $500 million in damages. The official investigation finds it to have been caused by a leaky gas valve near a lit coal stove. No public blame is assigned. But what if New York’s greatest fire was no accident? ___________ Coming soon to your favorite podcast app: Burning Gotham, the new audio drama about the fastest growing city in the world, and the opportunists who shaped it.

Dave interviews James about his novel on the early days of recorded sound, The Industry of Human Happiness. James tells how he chanced upon the adventures of Fred Gaisberg and Sinkler Darby in the sleeve notes of a CD that he bought outside a concert, and how they inspired him to write a fictional account of those heady days of format wars, skulduggery and breath-taking invention. James also talks about his campaign to have a commemorative plaque erected on the Maiden Lane building where the industry started (a plaque that was unveiled by Queen drummer Roger Taylor in December 2019).

COMING SOON New York, 1835: A city at its tipping point.It’s ten years since the completion of the Erie Canal. New York City’s population is now over 270,000. Most of these people live below Fourteenth Street in wooden or brick buildings no taller than five stories. The gap between rich and poor is rapidly expanding as each week thousands of new men and women pour onto New York’s dangerously overcrowded streets. Many come to earn an honest living.Others for more nefarious reasons.___________As New York grows, widening old streets and creating new ones is paramount. It raises property value, but property taxes can only increase if the land is improved upon. Buyers are purchasing land on credit and selling to someone new before needing to pay back the original balance. This artificial inflation is creating a very unstable economy. ___________The city has no reliable source of drinking water. Although New Yorkers vote in favor of the Croton Aqueduct in April, construction is yet to begin. The aqueduct needs to be paid for. That same month, officials place a twenty-four hour guard in the cupola of City Hall to ring a large bell and hang a light in the direction of any fire. The potential for a cholera epidemic or a crippling blaze is a constant source of fear.___________These fears are stirred by the City’s penny papers, chiefly The Sun and The New York Herald, whose publishers Benjamin Day and James Gordon Bennett are battling for readership. In August, this battle leads to the greatest literary hoax of the nineteenth century—fooling both layman and scholar—portending the existence of intelligent life on the Moon.___________Even as he calls the hoax remarkable, Phineas T. Barnum is orchestrating one of his own. With the help of William Niblo, Barnum is set to display a woman named Joice Heth: Ms. Heth claims to be the one-hundred-sixty-one year-old nursemaid of George Washington. Remarkable indeed. ___________New York is a powder keg. On the frigid, blustery night of December 16th, 1835, it finally explodes as the worst fire in city history sweeps through Manhattan. The East River is frozen solid. The undermanned and exhausted team of volunteer firefighters are no match. Everything south of Maiden Lane and east of Broad Street—the chief merchant district and the one with the highest property value—turns to ash.The fire causes the modern equivalent of $500 million in damages. The official investigation finds it to have been caused by a leaky gas valve near a lit coal stove. No public blame is assigned. But what if New York’s greatest fire was no accident?___________Coming soon to your favorite podcast app: Burning Gotham, the new audio drama about the fastest growing city in the world, and the opportunists who shaped it.

Just weeks after arriving in London, Fred makes the world's first disc recording of a female singer outside of America. The lady's name is Syria Lamonte and, according to Fred, she's a barmaid in Rule's restaurant, next to his studio on Maiden Lane. Lamonte – real name Sarah Cohen – is an Australian who arrived in London from Sydney in 1896. Her recordings, which include songs such as Comin' Through The Rye, accompanied by a tinkling piano, are groundbreaking. But was Lamonte really the struggling waitress that Fred claims? Hall and Holley discover that Lamonte's history is not quite as Fred described. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Summer 1898. Fred Gaisberg arrives in London to set up The Gramophone Company at the behest of his American boss Emile Berliner, who invented the flat-disc gramophone. Before Berliner, music only lasted for as long as the notes hung in the air. Now, Fred is under orders to commit as many artists as possible to disc. The recording technology is rudimentary to say the least, but 25-year-old Fred has big dreams. Having sailed from New York to Liverpool with £10 in his pocket, a bicycle and an instruction manual, Fred travels to a sweltering and vice-ridden Covent Garden to open Europe's first recording studio at 31 Maiden Lane. The delights and temptations of the buzzing city – and the challenges of starting an industry from scratch – soon become all too clear. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s officially December, so we’re going full-holiday on you all! That special time of year where you spend time with loved ones...or with a family you happen to come across when your carriage breaks down in a snowstorm with Grandma inside! Even if you’re like our hero Adam and not that into Christmas, it’s hard not to find joy from an almost-kiss while hunting down holly for the Christmas Ball. Or better yet - from a bit of action under the stairs while everyone else is occupied with parlor games! Miss Sarah St. John is about to learn that the best-made plans don’t always come to be - sometimes you can try to push away any and all rakes and a snowstorm will just blow a silver-tongued charmer into your home! Elizabeth Hoyt’s Once Upon a Christmas Eve is a festive novella that seems just right for a bit of holiday reading by the fire. **Spoilers all the way!**

During a handful of months in 1789 and 1790, representatives of the new nation of the United States came together in New York City to make decisions which would forever affect the lives of Americans. In this second part of our two-part show on New York as the first federal capital of the United States, we roll up our sleeves and get down to business. (In the first part, he moved the capital to lower Manhattan and inaugurated ourselves a new president George Washington!) The men of the first Continental Congress -- which first met in the Spring of 1789 -- had a lofty job in front of them that year. They needed to not only construct the tools and offices of a brand new government, they were also tasked with defining the basic rights of American citizens via a set of amendments to the U.S. Constitution -- the Bill of Rights. Now imagine doing this in your post-Colonial era garments during a hot summer, all crammed into a few rooms at Federal Hall, the former City Hall building on Wall Street. It was here that the Bill of Rights was introduced, debated and voted upon. But those weren't the only monumental decisions being made in the city. When nobody could come to an agreement on two major issues -- the assumption of state debt and the location of the permanent federal capital -- it was up to Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison to craft a deal, made during a legendary dinner party on Maiden Lane. We live today with the critical decisions made by these three men on that night over food and wine. ALSO: The tale of James Hemings, an enslaved man who became an accomplished French chef and most likely the cook for that very dinner, witness to the events in "the room where it happened." boweryboyshistory.com Support the show.

This week, we are thrilled to welcome Huoy Ming Yeh to the show. Ming is co-founder and managing partner of CSC Upshot Ventures, the largest fund dedicated to financing seed-stage startups, ever. If you're the type of person who listens to the Venture Studio podcast regularly, you probably heard about CSC Upshot launching in October. If not, it was a big deal. Here is some background- CSC Upshot is a $400MM venture fund created to invest primarily in US seed-stage technology startups via AngelList. It's biggest LP is CSC Group, one of China's 3 largest private equity firms, with $12B under management. Remember, if you're a fan Venture Studio, please subscribe on iTunes so you never have to miss an episode. If you're feeling up to it, do us a favor and leave a 5-star rating and review in the iTunes store- it helps other people find the show. As always, you can connect with us on twitter @ventureStudio and you can listen to prior episodes at venturestudio.org, and on iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher and TuneIn. Now that the words “$400MM” and “AngelList” have sunk in, lets dissect this a bit. Earlier this month, you learned about the Angel List's Syndicates product in our interview with Dustin Dolginow of Maiden Lane. Today, we dig further into the massive opportunity. Some stats: as of October 2015 (when CSC Upshot was announced), AngelList Syndicates had helped over 650 companies raise $205MM from 4,400 individuals and Maiden Lane's $25MM vehicle. Now, CSC Upshot joins the Syndicates ecosystem with a fund nearly double the size of all Syndicate activity to date. Today Ming and Dave talk all about CSC Upshot, the need for more liquidity at the seed stage, the difference between Chinese and US entrepreneurs, and whether we're seeing the great unbundling of VC or just a natural evolution of the venture financing market.
This week, we welcome Dustin Dolginow to The Studio. Dustin a co-founder of Maiden Lane Ventures, the first institutional venture fund built for AngelList Syndicates. Here's an excerpt from Maiden Lane's AngelList page: Raising seed capital is unnecessarily complicated. Great angel investors have always helped founders cut through the noise. Maiden Lane's mission is to make partnering with world-class angels more impactful. To do that, we use capital and software to rethink the workflow of seed investing. Seems pretty logical, right? Maybe even a bit boring? Well, not really. Syndicates and funds like Maiden Lane have been called, progressive, disruptive, cute and fraudulent, and everything in between. Today, we'll learn why. Dave and Dustin discuss the facts behind Syndicates, the massive opportunity for individual investors and founders that Syndicates presents, and the support, critiques and criticisms from others in the venture capital industry. They'll also talk more broadly about how thought leaders like like Chris Sacca, Brad Feld, Paul Graham and Mark Suster have approached innovation and unbundling in venture capital. This episode is just the first installment of our series on AngelList Syndicates. Later this month, we'll catch up with Ming Yeh, Founder and Managing Partner of CSC UpShot Ventures, a $400 million venture fund formed to invest in startups on AngelList. Dave and Dustin talk a bit about CSC UpShot in this week's episode as well. You can find Dustin on AngelList (obviously) and on twitter and Medium under @dolginow.

We do love to celebrate New Year and what better group to help us do that than Cheerleaders?

And it’s not just about entertainment. The activities promote health, community, family and acceptance. Our local group, London Infinity Elite, usually takes part in the New Year Parade in London, but this year they’ve been invited to Italy for the first ever event of its kind there. Just before the group took off their inspirational founder, Valerie Amajoutt, came into our studios and talked to Ann Carroll who asked; What was she expecting from this New Year’s Parade in Rome?

Maiden Lane’s Food Loop was there with its sustainable products. There were free bike repairs from cycling campaigners, free head and shoulders massages from Camden Women and Health and there was food and drink as well as music, song, dance and gymnastics. Big Up to Maiden Lane Community Centre and the Festival Group for a great day. Camden Community also had a stall this year and lots of you came to say hello to us.
