250 Years Ago (June 1775) British troops in New York City were evacuated to transports anchored in the harbor. A small group of Sons of Liberty confiscated five wagonloads of royal weapons. Maj. Gen. Philip Schuyler of New York and George Washington, the newly appointed commander of the army, left Philadelphia for New York City. Addressing fears of military rule, Washington reassured the New York Provincial Congress that, after the establishment of liberty, he would return to private life. On June 26, Washington and Schuyler crossed King's Bridge into Westchester County. The next day, slowed by well-wishers, they made it only as far as New Rochelle, where Schuyler headed to Albany and Washington toward Boston. 150 Years Ago (June 1875) John Cox, the flagman at Garrison's station, was suspicious of banks and paper money. On a Thursday night, while John was at work, five masked men pushed through the door and bound Mrs. Cox and the couple's two sons, ages 14 and 20. After ransacking the house, they left with a box of silver and gold coins valued at $1,100 [about $32,000 today]. Two tramps at the station were arrested after the Cox family said they resembled the suspects - one with a dark complexion, an ugly face and a bad eye and another who was "more honest-looking." Signor Sebastian, a circus performer, broke his leg at a Friday performance in Cold Spring when he was thrown from a horse while riding bareback seated in a chair. He was taken to the Pacific Hotel and, a few days later, returned by train to his home in New York City. A few weeks later, a baggage-car fire on a sidetrack in Connecticut destroyed all the troupe's baggage and musical instruments. Shortly after midnight, Thomas McAndrew, the watchman at the lower railroad switches, heard a noise and found two men standing at a broken door on a freight car on the sidetrack. When the larger man put his hand into his pocket and threatened to shoot, McAndrew dropped him with a shot to the neck. The man - who said his name was McKinseynally - was taken to Town Hall, where Dr. Murdock removed the bullet. Three people held solid-silver life passes for the Hudson River Railroad: John Jervis, the first chief engineer, his wife and Gouverneur Kemble of Cold Spring, the founder of West Point Foundry and an early supporter of the railroad. Commodore Foote and his sister, Eliza, "celebrated Lilliputians," performed at Town Hall. The Indiana natives claimed to be the smallest people in the world and were as well-known in their time as Tom Thumb. A six-horse team delivered a 7,530-pound load of bedplate to Sunk Mine for its steam-powered machines. The Methodist Episcopal Church held its annual Strawberry, Ice Cream and Floral Festival. The Recorder noted that a new state law made it illegal, punishable with a fine of up to $10 [$290], to mutilate shade trees near schools, churches, public buildings or highways. "It is well known that people from the farming districts are the principal offenders," the editor wrote. "They come into town to do some business and seek a comfortable shade for their teams. All right, so far; but how about the shade next year if the horses girdle the trees while standing thereat?" A reader complained to The Recorder that people were taking water by the barrel from the Main Street pumps to irrigate their strawberries and gardens. After the first baseball game of the season on Vinegar Hill between a club from West Point and the Kellogg team (which the latter won, 22-19), the Newburgh Telegraph said the Army boys lost only because of the "considerable partiality shown by the umpire who, of course, proved to be a resident of Cold Spring." The Recorder retorted that the visitors lost because they did not score enough runs. On a Tuesday at noon, while Isaiah Jaycox of the Highlands was driving at a good speed down Main Street seated atop a cord of wood, a front wheel on his wagon fell off as he passed High Street. Passersby lifted the corner of the wagon with...

Ross joins the podcast to share his powerful journey from personal tragedy to public advocacy, following the suicide of his father - a traumatic event that profoundly shaped his mental health. We explore how Ross turned to alcohol and cocaine to suppress overwhelming grief, endured multiple suicide attempts, and reached a pivotal moment of clarity during hospitalisation. His recovery story is rooted in the transformative impact of sobriety and the critical role of peer support. Through his involvement with Andy's Man Club, Ross found a renewed sense of purpose in creating space for men to speak openly, confront trauma, and support one another without judgment.This conversation delves into themes of emotional resilience, the social conditioning of masculinity, and the healing potential of community-led recovery. We also discuss the moment Ross met the paramedic who saved his life, and how full-circle experiences like these reinforce the value of second chances. Ross's story is a compelling reminder that silence is not strength—and that choosing to speak out can be the first step toward real, lasting change.If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, addiction, or overwhelming emotions, please contact Samaritans at 116 123, or visit Andy's Man Club to find a local group.

The ninth annual Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report, compiled by Dr Clare McAndrew of Arts Economics, provides a comprehensive, macroeconomic analysis of the state of the global art market in the past year. It examines the industry’s various segments, including galleries, dealers, auction houses and art fairs, and assesses their performance against the backdrop of changes in global economics and wealth. We hear from McAndrew, Art Basel CEO, Noah Horowitz, and Paul Donovan of UBS. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In two-and-a-half months since the inauguration of President Donald Trump, a series of executive orders and other initiatives have attempted systematically to eliminate and defund some of the federal agencies responsible for the distribution of federal money to museums, libraries and other organisations. The Art Newspaper's editor-in-chief in the Americas, Ben Sutton, joins Ben Luke to discuss what is being seen as an authoritarian and ideologically driven attempt to control cultural activities in taxpayer-funded institutions, restrict free speech and—to use the administration's own term—“rewrite history”. We also discuss the effect of the economic chaos caused by President Trump's seesawing on trade tariffs in the past week. That same topic is discussed by Clare McAndrew of Arts Economics, the writer of the Art Basel and UBS Art Market Report 2025. The report's key finding is that global art sales declined by 12% in 2024 and McAndrew discusses this stark statistic and other aspects of the survey. And this episode's Works of the Week are by Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone, the two artists in an exhibition subtitled The Art of Friendship at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin. Jellett and Hone were key figures in Irish Modernism, and we talk to one of the curators of the exhibition, Brendan Rooney, about Jellett's painting, Decoration (1923) and Hone's stained-glass image of a chalice (1948-52), a study for her most famous piece, the East Window of Eton College Chapel in Berkshire, UK.The Art Basel and UBS Art Market Report 2025, theartmarket.artbasel.com.Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone: The Art of Friendship, National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin, until 10 August.Subscription offer: enjoy a three-month digital subscription to The Art Newspaper for just £3/$3/€3.

With one transfer in and one transfer out, what will the future hold for Mizzou men's basketball's portal season? Calum McAndrew of the Columbia Daily Tribune joined the Big Show on Thursday to discuss how Mizzou should approach filling out the rest of their roster, and how Kellie Harper can add to the Mizzou women's hoops team in her first year in Columbia.
Joe kicked things off by diving into Liberation Day, coming up on April 2nd, when Trump tariffs hit all foreign nations, projected to pull in a massive $600 billion for the Treasury General Fund. Joe highlighted how this signals good times ahead for our economy and even bigger wins for the nation. Next, Joe brought on a familiar guest, James McAndrew - lead singer of Milquetoast & Co. and chairman for House District 3 and Senate District 26. The duo zoned in on the Colorado GOP and the drama-packed Colorado GOP Gala, questioning why the party isn't focusing on real work instead. After James stepped off, Joe kept hammering the Colorado GOP for failing to represent the people. He spotlighted Tina Peters' case, insisting it needs more federal attention, touched on Dominion, and closed by debunking Jovan Pulitzer's claim that storing ballot copies in a datacenter costs tens of thousands monthly. Joe, a datacenter owner himself, called BS - he knows the real costs. Next up, tensions in Ukraine and Iran are rising. Ukraine has yet to reach a rare earth deal with the United States as their war rages on, and Iran is refusing to come to an agreement surrounding its nuclear weapons. Later, it's all about the news: Trump trolls a third term, Elon suggests we end the Fed, and Hegseth has vowed to make the military truly equal.

Send us a textEver wondered about the mental health toll on members of a death penalty “Execution Team”? We discuss this topic and others on the JustPod with two men who are both familiar with the practice of lethal injection, but for very different reasons. Ron McAndrew is a retired Warden at Florida State Prison, where he led the Execution Team, supervised the execution of three inmates by electric chair, and observed the execution of others by lethal injection, before becoming a death penalty opponent. Ron explains where the bodies of the executed are buried if no family claims them for private burial, and his decision to stop taking the Execution Team for the traditional post-execution breakfast, after he ran into an executed inmate's defense counsel at the same restaurant. Dr. Shanker Nesathurai is a Professor of Medicine at McMaster University in Canada. His article, “America's Continuing Experience With Lethal Injection Executions,” appears in the Fall 2024 edition of Criminal Justice Magazine, published by the Criminal Justice Section of the American Bar Association.

Guest Bio:Patrick McAndrew is the founder of Hara, a high-impact community focused on self-mastery for the self-made. He began his career as a speed-reading instructor and has since become a leading voice in attention and mental performance. Patrick's work centers on helping leaders go beyond linear learning to develop practices that strengthen focus, resilience, and intentionality. His methodologies bridge the gap between cognitive science and human-centered leadership, equipping professionals with the tools to cultivate their best selves while achieving organizational impact.Core Topics:Rethinking Productivity: Moving Beyond Willpower and Motivation: Patrick shares how traditional approaches to productivity often miss the mark by focusing on external solutions like willpower and motivation. Instead, he reveals how the real struggle is internal fragmentation—our inability to organize thoughts, emotions, and energy. His focus is on creating systems that address the root cause rather than treating the symptoms of distraction.Linear vs. Nonlinear Learning: Designing for the Modern Workforce: Through his experiences running Momentum Mind, Patrick highlights why linear learning models fail to resonate in today's fast-paced environments. He discusses how a nonlinear mentorship approach, with adaptive content and context-based problem-solving, can meet people where they are and help them address deeper challenges beyond simple skill-building.Self-Mastery for the Self-Made: Aligning Business and Personal Growth: Patrick explains why he launched Hara and the philosophy behind it: mastering the inner game of life and business simultaneously. He emphasizes that success is not just about professional achievements but aligning personal growth with business impact. Hara is designed as a community where leaders refine both their business acumen and personal mastery through shared experiences, deep mentorship, and continuous refinement.The True Value of Thought Leadership: From Information to Wisdom: In a world of information overload, Patrick argues that value no longer lies in mere data or knowledge. Instead, the focus should be on transforming that information into actionable wisdom. He shares how thought leaders can elevate their impact by cutting through noise, offering clarity, and developing insights that resonate on a deeper, more human level.Resources:Learn more about Patrick McAndrew:WebsiteLinkedInYouTubeLearn more about Josh Linkner:WebsiteYouTubeLinkedInInstagramXFacebookABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

In this show, Dr. Frank McAndrew returns to Psych Up Live to answer the question, “Why Do We Fall For Conspiracy Theories? In addressing this question he also addresses the issue of why we hang on to conspiracy theories once we believe them. In his interesting response, Dr. Mc Andrew considers whether certain factors make us more susceptible to embracing conspiracy theories. He proposes that in reality most of us can fall for the “ right” conspiracy theory due to certain biases in how we all process information. Once we believe a conspiracy theory, Dr. McAndrew discusses why these beliefs are very difficult to undo. He discusses the impact of many forms of media in often providing a “ false consensus” and “ Exposure Effect” that fuels conspiracy theories. Dr. Mc Andrews describes why conspiracy theories flourish in atmospheres of fear and the consequences of conspiracy theories. You will be intrigued and informed. Listen in.

When Marie and Pierre Curie discovered radium in 1898, the chemical element was quickly adopted by manufacturers for its luminescent properties that would go on to be used in, among other things, the painting of clock faces, watches, and instrument panels, allowing them to be seen in the dark. At the time, the introduction of radioluminescent materials into manufacturing was hailed as a scientific solution to an age-old frustration, but it didn't take long before that solution was shown to have terrible consequences. As a radioactive element, radium is highly toxic to humans, particularly when ingested or inhaled. While it seemed unlikely that anyone would ingest or inhale the radium used to paint a clockface, this fact posed a serious problem for the largely female factory workers whose job it was to paint the dials. These “Radium Girls,” as they would come to be known, not only spent most of their day in close proximity to the paint, but also employed a technique in which they frequently wet their paintbrushes with their mouths, consuming small amounts of radium in the process. Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, hundreds of young women working in at least three radium dial factories in the United States suffered deadly radiation poisoning as a result of working so closely with radium, all without any safety protocols and completely unaware of the dangers. After dozens of deaths, a group of factory workers successfully sued their employers for damages, exposing the widespread disregard for worker safety. While the suits were generally a major victory for the American labor movement, it was ultimately hard-won and little comfort to those who would die within a few years.Thank you to the incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research!ReferencesCamden Courier-Post. 1928.
