Typhoid Mary: The Shocking True Story of New York's Silent Killer is one of the most eerie, gripping, and unexpectedly timely episodes of Terrifying & True. In this Best of 2025 revisit, we return to the haunting real case of Mary Mallon, the woman history would remember as Typhoid Mary—an apparently healthy cook linked to deadly typhoid fever outbreaks across New York and Long Island.At the center of this unforgettable historical mystery is a terrifying idea: what if the person spreading disease shows no symptoms at all? In the early 1900s, affluent households were suddenly struck by baffling illness. The homes were clean, the water was safe, and no one could explain why people kept getting sick. As investigators followed the trail, they uncovered one of the most chilling public health cases in American history—one involving invisible infection, forced quarantine, fear, stigma, and a woman who insisted she had done nothing wrong.This episode is one of the most engrossing Terrifying & True episodes of 2025 because it works on so many levels at once: as a historical true story, a medical mystery, a New York nightmare, and a disturbing ethical drama about freedom, blame, and public safety. It's creepy not because of gore or violence, but because the threat is silent, intimate, and impossible to see. That makes this Best of 2025 re-air especially strong for discoverability—and especially worth revisiting.Inside this episode:The 1906 Oyster Bay outbreak that launched the mysteryGeorge Soper's investigation into a hidden source of repeated typhoid casesMary Mallon's confrontation, arrest, and forced testingThe quarantine on North Brother Island and the legal controversy that followedHer return to cooking under aliases and the second outbreak that sealed her fateWhy Typhoid Mary still matters today in conversations about disease, stigma, and public healthIf you're drawn to historical true crime, dark history, medical mysteries, epidemic stories, New York history, and bizarre real cases that feel almost unbelievable, this is one of the strongest examples of what Terrifying & True does best. This Best of 2025 episode is a chance to revisit one of the show's most unsettling and memorable stories—one that still feels unnervingly relevant more than a century later.We're telling that story tonight.

Hear from acclaimed author, essayist, and critic Thomas Mallon, whose novel Fellow Travelers (2007) inspired an opera and a SHOWTIME® miniseries. With exacting attention to historical detail, Mallon's novel brings to life the shameful era in the early 1950s known as the Lavender Scare, during which gay and lesbian federal employees were systematically expelled from government service. More recently, Mallon also published The Very Heart of It (2025), a collection of journal entries during his literary coming-of-age during the AIDS crisis in New York City. Reporter Katie Campbell, creator and host of the KUOW Book Club, joins Mallon for a lively discussion on these works and the lessons they hold for our own time. Thomas Mallon's eleven books of fiction include Henry and Clara, Fellow Travelers, Watergate (a Finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award), and Up With the Sun. He has also written volumes of nonfiction about plagiarism (Stolen Words), diaries (A Book of One's Own), letters (Yours Ever,) and the Kennedy assassination (Mrs. Paine's Garage), as well as two books of essays (Rockets and Rodeos and In Fact). A collection of his personal journals, The Very Heart of It: New York Diaries, 1983-1994, was published by Knopf in June 2025. Mallon's work appears in The New Yorker, The New York Times Book Review, and other publications. He received his Ph. D. in English and American Literature from Harvard University and taught for a number of years at Vassar College. His honors include Guggenheim and Rockefeller fellowships, the National Book Critics Circle citation for reviewing, and the Harold D. Vursell Memorial Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, for distinguished prose style. He has been literary editor of Gentlemen's Quarterly and deputy chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and in 2012, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. An eight-part dramatic adaptation of his novel, Fellow Travelers, is now streaming on Showtime/Paramount+, and an opera based on the novel has had over a dozen productions throughout the United States. He is Professor Emeritus of English at The George Washington University and lives in Washington, D. C. Katie Campbell is an editor and reporter for KUOW.org. She has covered a variety of local topics, including Seattle politics, elections, and the arts. She also co-hosts KUOW's weekly arts podcast, Meet Me Here, highlighting the local literary scene and visiting authors. In 2024, Katie created the KUOW Book Club, featuring stories and authors from the Pacific Northwest. Katie's picks have included classics, like Timothy Egan's The Good Rain, and recent hits, like Sonora Jha's The Laughter.

The Utilities Dispute service is welcoming changes to power rules. The Electricity Authority's new rules, which kick in from October 30, will force power companies to simplify their bills and tell customers if they're on the best plan they provide. It will also mean power companies could only send backdated bills once every six months. Utilities Dispute Commissioner Neil Mallon told Ryan Bridge it won't just benefit customers. He says it will lead to fewer complaints and make it easier to resolve complaints. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite Pierre de Coubertin's vision of the Olympics being for male athletes only, women did participate in the games starting in 1900.

We talk about how Marie and John have made the shop the hub of the local fishing community.Jack talks great sense that I'm sure you'll gain something useful from.

In this episode of True Birth, we take on one of the most fraught subjects in pregnancy care: substance use. Their conversation goes beyond the obvious admonition that “drugs are bad in pregnancy” to explore the nuance — what counts as a teratogen, which substances alter fetal development directly, and which compromise pregnancy through vascular, placental, or behavioral pathways. The discussion begins with tobacco, a substance that does not cause specific birth defects but exerts powerful vascular effects that restrict blood flow to the placenta, increasing the risks of low birth weight, preterm birth, and ectopic pregnancy. From there, they move to alcohol, one of the few true teratogens, responsible for fetal alcohol syndrome and its enduring neurodevelopmental and behavioral consequences. The conversation then widens to heroin and opioids, which do not deform fetal anatomy but devastate pregnancy outcomes through miscarriage, placental abruption, and neonatal withdrawal syndromes. Cocaine emerges as a particularly dangerous agent, not for teratogenicity but for its capacity to cause catastrophic circulatory collapse in both mother and fetus — strokes, abruptions, and even loss of fetal limbs due to infarcted placental tissue. The hosts also explore the gray areas: hallucinogens like LSD, stimulants such as ecstasy, and prescription amphetamines. They note the complexity of studying these substances, given the socioeconomic, dietary, and mental health confounders that often accompany their use. What makes this episode compelling is not just the catalog of risks but the larger question of how to think about exposure. Mallon and Abdelhak acknowledge the historical shifts — from a time when physicians condoned “a few cigarettes a day” to today's zero-tolerance policies — and they highlight emerging treatments for addiction, such as Ibogaine, which may offer new hope for patients but remain medically and legally unsettled. The episode's takeaway is clear: in pregnancy, no recreational substance is benign. Some, like alcohol, directly alter embryologic development; others, like nicotine and cocaine, impair the very systems that sustain pregnancy. The evidence is complex, but the principle is simple — abstaining is the only truly safe choice. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe—your questions could be featured in our next episode!

She looked healthy. She cooked for the wealthy. But wherever Mary Mallon went, death followed.This is the chilling, true story of Typhoid Mary — the first identified “healthy carrier” in U.S. history — whose trail of invisible contagion swept through New York's high society, igniting fear, outrage, and a decades-long debate over public health versus personal freedom. From lavish Long Island mansions to the isolation of North Brother Island, discover how one woman became both villain and victim, and why her ghost still haunts medical ethics today.We're telling that story tonight

North Brother Island is a small, abandoned island in New York City's East River, between the Bronx and Rikers Island. Once home to Riverside Hospital, it was used to quarantine patients with contagious diseases like smallpox and typhoid—most infamously "Typhoid Mary" Mallon. After the hospital closed, it briefly housed WWII veterans and then drug rehab programs before being completely shut down in the 1960s. Today, it's off-limits to the public and overgrown, a decaying time capsule of crumbling buildings, medical history, and urban isolation. Some say it is haunted. Is it? Or is there another explanation entirely?-----------------Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.

The 2025 Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Final takes place on Sunday (10th August) when Galway chase a fifth O'Duffy Cup, and first since 2021. Former Down star Niamh Mallon made the move to the Tribeswomen last year and finished the year with an All-Star.  She scored a cracking goal in the semi-final victory over Tipperary. Niamh Mallon has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane. == Throw-in at Croke Park on Sunday is 5.15pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

In Part 2 of Season 12, Episode 33, former PGA Tour player, top orthopedic surgeon, and Olympic historian Bill Mallon returns to share some incredible stories from his time around the game. Bill tells the story of being there when Craig Stadler earned the nickname "The Walrus." He reflects on the players who taught him the most during his time on Tour — including our good friend Gary Player. He also shines a light on some of the most underrated players he's seen over the years. Bill then takes us into his deep well of Olympic knowledge, sharing his favorite Olympic memories and a fascinating connection between golf and the origins of the stones used in Olympic curling.

In 1906, a New York health department investigation into an outbreak of typhoid fever led to the discovery that a cook, Mary Mallon, was an unsuspecting ""healthy carrier"" of the deadly bacteria. This discovery forever altered Mallon's life, thrusting her into a national spotlight as the infamous ""Typhoid Mary.""In this episode, Lindsay is joined by Dr. Seema Yasmin, clinical assistant professor of medicine at Stanford University and former Epidemic Intelligence Service officer. Dr. Yasmin discusses how Mary Mallon became a target of public health authorities and a symbol of the clash between individual rights and public safety.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Send us a textEpisode 285 - Fishing, Gatherings and Good PeopleI'm back on the road once more and this time I'm in Derbyshire to attend one of our gatherings at Mallon and Green in Bakewell.I managed to tag on some fishing too and fish the Derwent with Geoff Hadley and bump into a few friends along the way as we fish late into the night.The next morning, I attend the annual event that takes place in Bakewell to celebrate the anniversary of the river Wye switching to the dry fly only rule after James Ogden showed how devastating this method of fishing could be.I speak with Jan Hobot who makes the ceremonial cast on the river and learn a little bit about this tradition that has taken place for 160 years.Later in the day, I head over to Mallon and Green, a fly shop, that over the last 3 years has become the hub for the local fishing community.I speak with some of the people attending about fishing who share some interesting stories.This a snapshot into fly fishing on many levels that I hope you'll enjoy listening to. 

Curating Dinosaurs II Curate Harder! On this episode we welcome Jordan Mallon, a long-time collaborator of Dave's and, against the odds, a long-time listener of Terrible Lizards. While we talk about Jordan's research and career in this pod, and his work on dinosaur sizes and ecology, this one also serves as something of a sequel to our previous episode. That's because he is also the curator of the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa, the national natural history museum of Canada.

Send those through before the end of March. In this episode we have Vaitoa Teaiwa Mallon (Banaba, Kiribati, Samoa, Irish) & Hele Christopher-Ikimotu (Banaba, Kiribati, Niue) who shed light on the history and current realities of the people of Banaba - an island whose story has been largely forgotten. We talk about the over exploitation of their island by foreign mining companies and how this had led to the complete destruction of the islands resources to the point where the island can no longer sustain life. So much so that Banabans have relocated to the island of Rabi, Fiji. While we talk about a painful past, Vaitoa & Hele also share stories of resilience with Banabans across the diaspora continuing to maintain and hold onto their culture and identity as proud Banabans. Send us a textThe Moanan is not just an educational platform but an online community — connecting diasporas all over the world.

Exercise during pregnancy is highly beneficial for both the mother and baby, promoting cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of gestational diabetes, improving mood, and aiding in better sleep. Moderate-intensity activities like walking, swimming, prenatal yoga, and strength training can help maintain fitness while reducing discomforts such as back pain and swelling. Regular movement also supports endurance and flexibility, which can be helpful during labor and delivery. However, it's essential to listen to the body, stay hydrated, and avoid high-impact or risky activities. Consulting a healthcare provider before starting or modifying an exercise routine ensures safety, especially for those with high-risk pregnancies.

It was created to build the Indiana Convention in what was then a sleepy downtown Indianapolis. Sixty years later,  the Capital Improvement Board is responsible for the highest profile venues in Indy---from Lucas Oil Stadium and Gainbridge Fieldhouse to Victory Field and what is now one of the ten largest convention centers in the nation. CIB Executive Director Andy Mallon gives us an inside look at the projects that have shaped the city's infrastructure and exciting plans on the horizon to enhance Indy's culture and economy.  

Pope John Paul II tells us that “evangelization is the cornerstone of all pastoral action, the demands of which are primary, preeminent and preferential.” Yet, let's be real—how often do we actually see this lived out in our parishes? Evangelization tends to take a back seat, overshadowed by other priorities, rarely making it into budgets or staffing plans. But here's the truth: holiness and orthodoxy aren't enough on their own to renew a parish. This week, I sit down with Fr. James Mallon, the author of Divine Renovation, to talk about how we can create parishes that inspire a commitment to Christ and cultivate a dynamic, engaged faith community. We dive into what it takes to make evangelization the heart of parish life, break through cultural barriers, and build leadership teams that lead with purpose.

In this episode of OPTalks, Dr. Ish Ruiz and Dr. Colleen Mary Mallon, a Dominican Sister, discuss her latest book, Inclusivity and Institutional Change in Education: A Theologian's Journey (Eerdmans, 2024). The book examines the intersection of theology, education, and social justice, with a specific focus on race and LGBTQ+ inclusion. Sister Mallon shares insights from her book which offers a critical examination of how Catholic institutions can better engage with diversity, equity, and inclusion. She discusses her process of unlearning whiteness and the need for greater awareness of positionality. As a Puerto Rican scholar, Dr. Ruiz reflects on the complexities of addressing race and privilege from his perspective as a person of color. The talk emphasizes the importance of personal transformation, intentional dialogue, and structural accountability in reconciliation and healing within the Catholic tradition. In this regard, Drs. Ruiz and Mallon explore Pope Francis' model of synodality, where the Church discerns the guidance of the Holy Spirit; Sister Mallon's adaptation of Ken Wilber's framework for mapping right relationships; and examples of advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, such as the work of Sister Janine Gramick. Sister Mallon stresses the Church's need to embrace difficult conversations with love and humility, to disagree in love. This conversation and the book are part of the Theological Education between the Times (TEBT) series, an initiative out of HTI member school Emory University Candler School of Theology that “gathers diverse groups of people for critical, theological conversations about the meanings and purposes of theological education. The project begins with a recognition that theological education is between the times, on the way. And it works in the confidence that we do not walk this road alone.”

Much of the peril and persecution of the McCarthy era is well-trodden territory in historical dramas, but the burden that the Red Scare placed on the L.G.B.T. community is another story. The historian and writer Thomas Mallon published a novel called “Fellow Travelers,” drawing from real-life events, about a gay couple living under the shadow of the McCarthy witch hunts; it has now been adapted into a Showtime miniseries. “The government was really on a tear when it came to dismissing gays from the State Department—but really all over in the early fifties,” Mallon tells David Remnick. “So really any gay romance had to be tremendously clandestine.” Gay Americans targeted by McCarthy and his acolytes were forced to assert not only their patriotism but their humanity, too. “The book is full of people trying to reconcile things which society and the government are telling them are irreconcilable,” Mallon says. “But the people themselves don't see any moral or logical reason why.” Mallon talks about the political climate in nineteen-fifties Washington and about the pioneering L.G.B.T. activist who picketed the White House years before Stonewall.Share your thoughts on The New Yorker Radio Hour  podcast.
