May 26, 1946 - The Fred Allen Show with special guest star Jack Benny. In this episode they spoof the radio program "Queen for a Day". Other references include The Lone Ranger, Ralph Edwards, Mary Margaret McBride, The Street Singer, Duncan Phyfe, Marconi, Sidney Greenstreet, "The Postman Always Rings Twice", President Truman, Camels cigarettes, and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe.
No episódio 46 do VerbOnline, Ge Monteiro vai deixar você por dentro de todas as novidades que estão rolando no Ministério Verbo da Vida. O convidado da vez é Marconi Raulino, coordenador das Escolas de Ministros Rhema, aqui no Ministério Verbo da Vida. Na conversa de hoje, Marconi nos conta um pouco de como foi esse convite para coordenar as escolas, como equilibrar as responsabilidades da coordenação e vida familiar, além das expectativas para as Aulas de Campo e segundo semestre.
🩸 ¿Imaginas un arma capaz de convertir la sangre en glicerina al instante? En 1934, un médico español en Cleveland lo logró. Antonio Longoria no solo mató ratones con un rayo: fulminó perros, gatos, conejos... incluso un buey entero. La General Electric lo vio funcionar. Los soviéticos le ofrecieron 58 millones. Pero en 1940, con la Segunda Guerra Mundial rugiendo, Longoria tomó una decisión que cambió la historia para siempre. Carlos Montero nos desvela esta historia REAL que suena a ciencia ficción, en la época dorada de los "rayos de la muerte" - cuando genios como Tesla, Marconi y otros científicos perseguían el arma definitiva. Una carrera armamentística secreta que, de haber triunfado, habría convertido la guerra en una masacre de segundos. ¿Por qué ningún gobierno consiguió este poder absoluto? ¿Qué pasó realmente con el invento de Longoria? Una historia que te hará replantearte qué separa la ciencia de la destrucción total. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the guys are on vacation this week and Marconi award winner Dan Mandis fills in. We begin with the horrific ordeal from Idaho where a man started a fire and the opened fire on the responding firefighters, killing two Firefighters and wounding 11 others including a firefighter who is clinging to life. Also President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" passed the first stage of approval as Republican senators voted 51-49 to now send the bill back to the House for final approval before landing on the President's desk by a July 4th deadline. After passage Chuck Shumer demanded the entire 960 page bill be read aloud on the Senate floor taking hours overnight and well into the day Sunday. Caller Chris challenges Dan on the reading of the bill and other issues democrats would oppose about the bill, Medicaid cuts seem to be the key issue that most people are concerned about. Also discussion about the two key democrats that voted against the bill.. Tom Thune and Rand Paul, things may be getting ugly again in Iran as satellite photos reveal ongoing activity around the bomb sites, the great week of progress that President Trump has enjoyed especially the Supreme Court victories on Friday, a polling of your favorite person in the Trump administration (besides the President) and Zohran Mamdani and his city owned grocery stores and how his mayoral candidacy serves as a threat to the non-muslim community. Also Mandami's rap video, the migrant truck drivers that are causing deadly accidents and much more.

Marconi filed a patent application in London for a spark-gap transmitter that generated radio waves and a coherer as a receiver to detect the signals, which was the first patent for a communication system based on radio ...
On this episode of Mood Killers, Marconi opens up about his awkward, emotional, and occasionally itchy journey of growing out his hair—because why not reinvent yourself in the middle of a crisis? In another scroll-worthy edition of Keep Scrolling, the guys serve up a buffet of TikTok audio gems that are weirdly wonderful. Eddie airs his comedic grievances with Tom Segura and explains why he's slowly backing away from Steve Harvey like he just saw a Family Feud ghost. Plus, in Marconi-Logs, we finally learn who makes Eddie's elusive Top 5 Friends list… but is Marconi one of them? All this and a comforting Dollop of Joy to balance out the existential dread.

Sara Marconi, Beniamino Sidoti"Le so tutte"Illustrazioni di Francesco FagnaniEdizioni Lapiswww.edizionilapis.itSavannah e Maicol sono amici da sempre, anche se non potrebbero essere più diversi.Savannah è brillante, determinata e appassionata di ecologia. Ha un mito assoluto: Ross Michaels, imprenditore visionario e guru dell'ambientalismo, con cui sogna – un giorno – di salvare il mondo. Maicol invece è imprevedibile, buffo, pieno di idee. A scuola si perde facilmente, le sue risposte sorprendono, confondono, fanno sorridere o disperare le maestre. Nessuno sembra capirlo, tranne Savannah.Finché un giorno Maicol riceve un oggetto misterioso: un ciondolo capace di fornire la risposta esatta a qualunque domanda. Da quel momento, sa tutto. Sempre. Confida in gran segreto alla sua amica che l'oggetto gli è stato recapitato da una civiltà aliena. All'inizio è entusiasta. Finalmente non sbaglia più, tutti lo ascoltano, le risposte arrivano senza fatica. Ma a poco a poco si rende conto che quel sapere non gli appartiene: è il ciondolo a parlare.Savannah è convinta che il ciondolo fosse destinato a Ross Michaels – i nomi si somigliano, dopotutto.Quando vince un concorso della Ross Corporation, parte con Maicol per partecipare al torneo e incontrare finalmente il suo idolo.Ma l'incontro non va come previsto: il ciondolo costringe Ross Michaels a dire la verità e rivela che la consolle “ecologica” è in realtà fatta di plastica.Per Savannah è una delusione profonda. L'uomo in cui aveva riposto fiducia si rivela ben lontano dai suoi idealiMaicol recupera il ciondolo e scopre che era davvero destinato a lui. Solo che è arrivato in anticipo: dieci anni troppo presto.Savannah, disillusa ma più consapevole, capisce che non basta sapere tutto. Le risposte non contano, se non si fanno le domande giuste.E capisce anche che non sarà Ross Michaels a salvare il mondo. Maicol, forse, sì. Naturalmente, con il suo aiuto!Età di lettura dai 9 anniSara MarconiEditor e traduttrice, si laurea in Storia della lingua italiana presso l'Università di Bologna.

It's The British Broadcasting Century's century! Thanks if you've joined us for the story so far, from Morse and Marconi to Reith and the Pips (before Gladys Knight took over lead vocals). This special 100th episode is for both the newcomer and the seasoned veteran - being the previous 99 episodes in summary form, BUT with lots of new bits. So this is no best-of... (alright it's a bit of a best-of) ...this is packed with new things we didn't know, old things we hadn't found yet, new perspectives on the areas we've covered previously, things we left out completely, and much more, or less, depending on how you look at it. New things include: The first song Marconi played via wireless (thanks John Hannon) New (corrected!) info on Marconi's first sports report by wireless - not 1899 in America, but 1898 in Ireland... Long clips of Britain's first DJ Gertrude Donisthorpe, Marconi engineer William Ditcham, first broadcast singer Winifred Sayer, Marconi man R.D. Bangay, and more, that we haven't played you before. News on the Melba recording (er, not good news) A 6min-long never-before-heard reminiscence by Arthur Burrows, reflecting on the first BBC broadcast, with new info - including the 2LO orchestra being accused of electoral bias because of their song choice. The first accusation of BBC on-air bias... in musical form! The opening words of the first BBC children's broadcast New info on Harry Tate's 'Broadcasting' sketch (thanks Alan Stafford) The first singer of Cardiff 5WA The Sykes Committee look into the BBC (just to keep the story moving forward, a bit) And we've been asking you for your favourite moments so far. So we re-bring you: Peter Eckersley on 2MT Writtle Tales from 2ZY Manchester and 5IT Birmingham More Peter Eckersley on 2MT Writtle Even more Peter Eckersley on... ...You get the idea. Thanks for joining us for our first 100 episodes - here's to our next 100. Do share this with people to help make that happen! . SHOWNOTES: Original music is by Will Farmer. Our re-enactment of the first BBC broadcast is on Youtube. Dr Andrea Smith's new book is Shakespeare on the Radio, published by Edinburgh University Press. Alan Stafford's book is Bigamy Called the Radio Star, published by Fantom. Paul's latest Substack article is about Arthur Burrows (first voice of the BBC) and his link with the Eurovision. I claim there's no Eurovision with him! Find it on paulkerensa.substack.com See Paul Kerensa on tour, with An Evening of (Very) Old Radio: www.paulkerensa.com/tour.

On this episode of Mood Killers, Marconi and Eddie dig into the identity crisis—literally. Do you need a REAL ID, City ID, passport, and a driver's license just to exist now? They also warn you about the true horror of hot air balloons (spoiler: it's all of it), why you should keep scrolling, and how sleep apnea is lurking like a bedtime villain. Plus, what's Honey Boo Boo up to these days? Things that got too popular and ruined the fun for everyone. And finally, “A Dollop of Joy” explores the question: Is legacy just ego dressed in a tux?

Marconi is haunted by how efficiently he's using his time now that he's finally sleeping like a grown-up. Eddie's unimpressed with the new Jon Hamm series on Apple TV+, and he's got thoughts about Google Nest, Windows 10, and LG phones all going *poof*. Meanwhile, the internet turns on Katy Perry—again—and she's definitely *not* laughing. All that and more, plus a Dollop of Joy to cleanse your palate.
Marconi's apartment is *rudely invaded* (legally, of course) and he copes the only way he knows how—by sharing some raw, unfiltered **Marconi-Logs**. Meanwhile, Eddie dives into the chaos of Bill Belichick's awkward TV moment, Katy Perry's baffling stage antics, and the strange-but-true Texas law that exists *because of her*. Plus: What would *you* do if you struck it rich from a $200 loan from a friend? All that, and we end with a much-needed **Dollop of Joy** to cleanse your palate. Listen now. It's weird. It's wonderful. It's **Mood Killers**.
Just about everybody knows the story. A supposedly unsinkable ship hit an iceberg and sank, proving the folly of humans. But there are many facts which are not widely known as well as prevalent myths which need to be debunked. Learn what really happened, what caused the disaster, and who were the heroes and who were the villains.

Marconi experiments with something completely new: a normal adult sleep schedule (it's weird, we know). Eddie surprises everyone by introducing a brand-new co-host to the show. Plus, therapy is explained in 60 seconds—even though one of the guys still goes every week. In Keep Scrolling, we take a wild guess at what the future holds, and in Did You Know?, we reveal the artist behind that mystery track you've definitely heard before certain online videos. Oh, and Marconi forgot to hit record... but don't worry—he still managed to find a Dollop of Joy to wrap things up.

Eddie's still battling the flu, but that doesn't stop the nonsense! Marconi debuts a new game called What Am I Crinkling?—because obviously, that's content now.

Plus, a woman prays to Tesla, and the guys take a moment to remember KROQ legend Jed The Fish. A little sick, a little weird, and fully Mood Killers

On the day of episode 99's release, it's exactly 100 years since the death on 17 April 1925 of Godfrey Isaacs - Managing Director of the Marconi Company. More than that - new evidence shows that he came up with and championed the idea of the one BBC. For years, the British government (via the Post Office) has been credited with the plan for a singular British broadcaster. But lost meeting minutes have been rediscovered.... The academic who found these minutes - misplaced for decades - is David Prosser of the University of Bristol. He joins us to tell us about the 18 May 1922 meeting where Godfrey Isaacs proposed that the Marconi Company share patents and collaborate with its rivals to form one (British) Broadcasting Company. And Robert Godfrey - Isaacs' great-great-grandson - joins us to give new insights into the life of this under-heralded pioneer in the ways of wireless. Hear tales of the Marconi Scandal, Titanic, business wrangling, broadcasting innovation, battles with the press, and a life cut short. There's a lot to tell, so this is a longer episode than usual - sorry! Actually I'm not sorry... these chaps know their stuff, and it's an incredible tale. .

Imaginemos por un momento, si podemos contar para nuestro placer, con una orquesta de Tango donde sólo toquen maestros, virtuosos de la música, hombres emparentados con la aceptación del público. Agreguemos que ellos mismos se encargan de armar su repertorio con temas que abarcan, desde el morocho del Abasto como compositor, la finura de Julio De Caro, pasando por el genio musical de Pedro Maffia, la creatividad enorme de Vicente Greco, el talento acompasado de Don Osvaldo Pugliese, la recreación modernizada del Tango de los Tangos, una pieza musical a ritmo de candombe que es una delicia en percusión, la recordación del inspirado y prolífico Julián Plaza, hasta la ‘polenta' y sensibilidad extrema de Astor Piazzolla. Todos estos atributos musicales por excelencia, los reúnen los integrantes de la Orquesta del Tango de Buenos Aires, con la dirección de Néstor Marconi, en el marco colmado de tangueros en un majestuoso Teatro Colón.
Acquista Il Libro: https://amzn.to/4c9itUD Il 5 marzo del 1896 Guglielmo Marconi depositò la richiesta provvisoria di brevetto della radio, e il 12 febbraio 1931 fu inaugurata Radio Vaticana. Un dubbio, però, persisteva nella mia mente: come era riuscito Marconi a costruire la radio avendo conseguito solo la licenza elementare? C'erano altri aiutanti oltre i nomi noti? Sono entrata nell'Archivio Apostolico (ex “Segreto”) Vaticano con l'intento di rispondere a queste domande. Non ho trovato le risposte, ma ho trovato altro: esiste un fascicolo dedicato al cosiddetto “Raggio della Morte” e la storia è ben diversa da come la conosciamo. Learn more about your ad choices.

14 August 1923: Ireland's first licensed radio station takes to the air... Yes for one episode, The British Broadcasting Century leaves Britain to become The Irish Broadcasting Century. Well how could we not bring you the tale of Marconi setting up a (legal) radio station at the Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, to broadcast to the Horse Show... only to be closed down a few days later because the government panicked - and especially in the company of the Irish broadcasting historian Eddie Bohan. After Ireland in 1923, we return to Britain in the present-day for an interview with composer David Lowe - the man behind the BBC News theme (as well as The One Show, Grand Designs, Countryfile and more). David's new album of official BBC News themes (and remixes) is available now from Spotify, Apple Music and other places.

One hundred and sixty minutes. That is all the time rescuers would have before the largest ship in the world slipped beneath the icy Atlantic. There was amazing heroism and astounding incompetence against the backdrop of the most advanced ship in history sinking by inches with luminaries from all over the world. It is a story of a network of wireless operators on land and sea who desperately sent messages back and forth across the dark frozen North Atlantic to mount a rescue mission. More than twenty-eight ships would be involved in the rescue of Titanic survivors along with four different countries. At the heart of the rescue are two young Marconi operators, Jack Phillips 25 and Harold Bride 22, tapping furiously and sending electromagnetic waves into the black night as the room they sat in slanted toward the icy depths and not stopping until the bone numbing water was around their ankles. Then they plunged into the water after coordinating the largest rescue operation the maritime world had ever seen and thereby saving 710 people by their efforts.The race to save the largest ship in the world from certain death would reveal both heroes and villains. It would begin at 11:40 PM on April 14, when the iceberg was struck and would end at 2:20 AM April 15, when her lights blinked out and left 1500 people thrashing in 25-degree water. Although the race to save Titanic survivors would stretch on beyond this, most people in the water would die, but the amazing thing is that of the 2229 people, 710 did not and this was the success of the Titanic rescue effort. We see the Titanic as a great tragedy but a third of the people were rescued and the only reason every man, woman, and child did not succumb to the cold depths is due to Jack Phillips and Harold McBride in an insulated telegraph room known as the Silent Room. These two men tapping out CQD and SOS distress codes while the ship took on water at the rate of 400 tons per minute from a three-hundred-foot gash would inaugurate the most extensive rescue operation in maritime history using the cutting-edge technology of the time, wireless. To talk about this race against time is frequent guest Bill Hazelgrove, author of the new book One Hundred and Sixty Minutes: The Race to Save the RMS Titanic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
