fWotD Episode 2911: I'm God Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 24 April 2025, is I'm God."I'm God" is an instrumental song by the American producer Michael Volpe, known professionally as Clams Casino, and the British singer Imogen Heap. Volpe created "I'm God" in 2009 by sampling Heap's song "Just for Now" (2005), after learning of her through a friend. Volpe sent the track to American rapper Lil B; the instrumental is featured on a song of the same name on Lil B's second mixtape, 6 Kiss (2009), containing his vocals. Volpe self-released "I'm God" in 2011 and, in 2012, it appeared on his Instrumentals 2 mixtape. Following years of unsuccessful attempts to clear the sample usage, it was officially released on streaming on April 24, 2020, appearing on Volpe's Instrumental Relics compilation.A cloud rap song, "I'm God" is noted for its ethereal and dream-like aspects. It received a cult following on the Internet, being unofficially reuploaded by fans to social media, including in the form of a music video that incorporates clips from the French film Perdues dans New York (1989). "I'm God" went on to be influential to the cloud rap genre. It was certified gold in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Thursday, 24 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see I'm God on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Aria.

Get the JOY discount on Morning Kick HERE: www.chuckdefense.com/JoyHow pervasive is Sean Comb's child sex trafficking ring and is the network WAY bigger than the Hollywood celebrities implicated? Could local officials, corrupt judges and rogue government agencies also be involved?Just a few years after the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, rap mogul Sean Combs is in jail facing absolutely horrifying charges following his arrest and a massive police raid at multiple residences. Combs was arrested in September and charged with three felony counts for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty, the judge denied Combs' request for bail and set a trial date of May 5, 2025.Like Epstein, the REAL story is much bigger than the scumbag front man on the front pages of all the newspapers.The story is about the power players & influencers and local agencies behind Sean Combs, who were potentially blackmailed and coerced into committing crimes with hundreds of hours of incriminating videotape and photos.Potentially implicated? Jennifer Lopez, The Kardashian Clan (like ALL of them), Kanye West, Jay Z, Beyonce, record label CEOs and scores of other Hollywood A-listers who frequented his infamous White Parties featuring late night ‘freak offs' which were actually grotesque orgies complete with accusations and evidence of drugging, violence, rape and other crimes.Also implicated? Local government officials, judges and corrupt cops. This is based on a revelations from investigative reporter Michael Volpe who has been following a case dating all the way back to June of 1997 and an absolutely stunning affidavit filed in a civil case. This angle might even be the most disturbing as it points to the very very granular and ultimately LOCAL operation that must be in place for a sex trafficking cartel to survive and thrive.This could be in your town too.Stunning deep dive TODAY on the SJ Show!______________________________________Show Notes:Michael Volpe's Report on Derrick Lee & The Diddy Connectionhttps://michaelvolpe.substack.com/p/michael-volpe-investigates-special-598DOJ Report on Charges Filed In Manhattan Federal Court With Sex Trafficking And Other Federal Offenseshttps://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/sean-combs-charged-manhattan-federal-court-sex-trafficking-and-other-federal-offenses#:~:text=Among%20other%20things%2C%20COMBS'%20sexual,a%20multi%2Dfaceted%20business%20empire.A Former SDNY Prosecutor's Read on the Diddy Indictmenthttps://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/sean-diddy-combs-indictment-a-federal-prosecutor-view.htmlWATCH - ALL the Celebs Going DOWN With Diddyhttps://youtu Extra special bonus from Field of Greens!!!!Plug in the promo code SHANNON for an additional 15% off your purchase!Go to www.fieldofgreens.com to shop and save!

For many of us, our urologists arrived in our lives at a time of crisis and have confined their care to managing our prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. But in an engaging conversation with host Ed Randall, Dr. Michael Volpe walks us through the gamut of urinary and reproductive organ conditions a urologist might encounter in a clinical practice. Dr. Volpe also suggests that as we age, we might want to consider adding a urologist to our medical team. Dr. Volpe also shared stories about meeting his wife Isabelle in medical school in 1990 and bonding over their mutual love of catching the #4 train to take in Yankees games from their regular seats in the bleachers. And, of course, there is the surreal (and joyful) experience thirty-four years later of his son Anthony playing shortstop for his parents' favorite team.
Slam the Gavel welcomes back James Sisco to the podcast. He was last on the podcast Season 3, Episode 176 and Season 4, Episode 54. This case is tainted with players who need psychological evaluations, such as the Judges, opposing attorney and ex-wife. James is suffering through three years of egregious treatment at the hands of Judge Thomas P. Mann and Judge Penny S. Azcarate. Azcarate incarcerated James for not paying attorney fees to his ex-wife to the tune of $65,000.00 prior to James having not only back surgery and shoulder surgery, a STROKE as well. The extortion continues as well as the emotional and physical STRESS. The "Psychologist for the children", Mary Lindahl, extorts $195.00 to "review" each Skype call James has had with his children. The Skype calls were taking a toll on James's health, due to the fact his ex-wife CHOOSES to end them when "she feels like it," as evidenced in Jame's TikToks. Like a demon possessed, she will whip that lap top around and away from the kids as she sits there, staring at him for a second or two and then turns off the laptop. But the court approves of this behavior, alienating a good father from his children and who needs to be there FOR HIS CHILDREN. Other reporters have covered James Sisco's story besides myself. Julie Haskell and Michael Volpe covered segments of this ongoing legal abuse and false accusations from his ex-wife at TAXPAYER EXPENSE. When will it end? There is a hearing on January 22, 2024, to decide how long the trial will be. James continues to be an advocate even after having a stroke and to be there for others who can't protect themselves. Because that's what a Veteran does. THE RIGHT THING.

This time around, Mike will be presenting a plethora of explosive cases he's been working on that are going to blow your mind. From Missouri adoption horrors, to teenagers taking on social media to speak out where the court refuses to hear them, to a Parental Alienation racket in Maricopa County, you will hear these cases and more on this week's episode! In addition to being a guest on tons of incredible podcasts, Mike also hosts his own podcast on YouTube under his channel, ‘Michael Volpe' as well as on his subscription-based Substack platform called “Michael Volpe Investigates” at www.MichaelVolpe.substack.com.

Michael Volpe joins us to discuss his investigations into CPS and Family Court. We will delve into the corruption and connections ties between these institutions and others. Guest Link Michael Volpe Substack
What You Need to Know is Joe Biden is giving away our sovereignty. In a deeply concerning move, the Biden Administration has welcomed the International Criminal Court into our justice system, subjecting our nation to their authority despite warnings from the Pentagon. This decision threatens the sovereignty of America and is nothing short of an outrage. We must resist this change. It damages the effectiveness and clarity of our justice system and we must protect any integrity we have left. Garrett Zeigler, Founder of Marco Polo USA, discusses a letter he wrote asking a judge to reject Hunter Biden's plea deal. This letter, co-signed by Robert Costello and Rudy Giuliani, presents whistleblower allegations that outline a boatload of prosecutorial misconduct that should be considered in this deal. Ziegler emphasizes that their aim is to seek justice and shed light on corruption and talks about the judge's handling of the case as it is up to them to address this corruption in a fair manner. Visit MarcoPolo.org to follow their work. Investigative journalist Michael Volpe discusses issues related to the Connecticut judicial system and the criminalization of speech. He talks about a specific case involving a man who lost custody of his children and started a blog where he made hateful remarks about judges. He was arrested in Virginia for cyberstalking and potentially faces a long jail sentence. Volpe highlights the effect such actions can have on speech and the need for fair reporting on these cases. Follow all of Michael's work at his SubStack here. Wrap Up: Jamie Corley's Politico article about abortion by pills through telemedicine argues that it's perfectly fine and we should stop fighting to regulate abortion because it's so divisive! Well, regulation is needed to prevent abortions altogether to protect the mother's health, especially in the world of telemedicine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What You Need to Know is Beware the Climate Change Tyrants. The left quickly and wholly attributes any and all ecological disasters to man-made “climate change,” which is here to kill us all in less time than we can imagine. But what's truly terrifying is the real possibility that these disasters really are man-made but with a purpose of making a world-wide power grab. Look no further than the UN's “Summit of the Future” slated for September 2024, and the global agreements to give over power in the case of so-called “global shock” events. Watch out for eco tyranny! Evan Nierman, founder and CEO of Red Banyan, talks about his new book The Cancel Culture Curse: From Rage to Redemption in a World Gone Mad. Nierman highlights elements of this intimidation or isolation of alleged transgressors such as crimes against the collective, the rapid internet pickup of incidents, disproportionate responses, and moral absolutism. Cancel culture is undermining freedom of speech and due process. It is antithetical to American values. Follow Evan's work at CancelCulture.com. Investigative journalist Michael Volpe exposes the misuse of "parental alienation" in the justice system, leading to child trafficking and prolonged legal cases. He highlights the financial incentives involved and cites a specific case in Maricopa County. Volpe calls for reforms to protect children from abuse and prevent the manipulation of parental alienation claims. Check out his articles here.

What You Need to Know is our cities are falling into chaos, and it's no accident. It's no wonder when our cities are creating soft-on-crime policies. When the cost of crime is low, don't be surprised when people take advantage of it. We're literally creating the hotspots and handing over cities to chaos and violence and crime. It's just inevitable that people aren't going to come to lawless places anymore. The left isn't just defunding the police, they're literally asking for crime in our cities. Michael Volpe, investigative journalist, talks about how Dr. Eric Hensen challenged the Texas medical establishment and put his career on the line. In the first days of response to Covid, Dr. Hensen followed facts, figures, science, and research, but he's been persecuted for speaking truth to the bureaucracy.

Investigative journalist Michael Volpe discusses gender dysphoria issues in Family Court. We will also delve into California AB 957 and various cases around the country. Guest Link Michael Volpe Substack
What You Need to Know is a DC juror reveals corruption of the January 6 trials. A journalist named “Ellen” went on a C-SPAN podcast to talk about her jury experience during the January 6 trials. Her interview is absolutely flabbergasting, as she describes the tainted, biased viewpoints of many jurors. We know about the corruption at this point, but to hear it all out loud is almost unbelievable. My prediction? This reflects very badly for the judge, the jury, and all of the January 6 prosecutions! Michael Volpe, investigative journalist, talks about a new bill being debated in California. AB957 in the CA General Assembly is a very extreme shift, even in California, that weighs in on one side of the debate about the so-called “best interests of the child” in family courts. This introduction of the transgender ideology to “best interests” will have massive implications on parents and kids. Follow Michael's investigations on his Subtack here. Dan Schneider, VP of MRC's Free Speech America, talks about the Twitter files and the FBI visiting [read: intimidation] of independent journalist Matt Taibbi right before he was to testify before Congress! The feds are sending a chilling message not to cross them, from the FBI to the IRS to all of the “Deep State.” The weaponization of the federal government is in full force.

What You Need to Know is the Prosecutors are Politically Targeting Americans. Donald Trump is clearly being targeted by the Manhattan DA, and it's absolutely horrendous for our nation. Forget the political implications, this is just unacceptable and we can't let it stand! These Soros-funded hacks and their political theater are tearing our cities apart. From Trump to St. Louis crime to January 6 defendants, we have to stop prosecutorial abuse. Michael Volpe, investigative journalist, discusses one of his recent investigations from Pennsylvania. By all appearances, Joseph Marcy is sitting in jail now for false accusations of molesting his daughter. She has recanted her entire story and a mountain of evidence is piling up that she was coached by Child Protective Services and her mother. Judges are wading through it now, but courts have shot down his appeals on shaky ground. Follow Michael's investigations on his substack here. Mark Schneider, Coast Guard engineer and former nuclear power professional, gives us an update on the green nuclear energy movement. Gen IV nuclear power is the wave of the future, but it's being hampered by regulation and media. Get all the facts and truth from Mark by following him on Twitter. What You Need to Do is know your attorney general and state legislators and encourage them to stop prosecutorial abuse by district and circuit attorneys in your state!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What You Need to Know is a few can do it. This week we're watching 19 members-elect of Congress control the whole debate over leadership and change in the People's House. It really does only take a few people, who dig in on principle and conviction, to drive the discussion. And guess what? It grows. Michael Volpe, investigative journalist and author, discusses the Texas Supreme Court's ruling against a father trying to prevent the gender transition of his son. Plus, new California laws on transitioning and how it affects all of us! While it's far from over, this legal battle has the potential to affect Americans from coast to coast. Find all of Michael's work at MichaelVolpe.Substack.com. Dr. Ted Malloch, author, lecturer, businessman, and contributor to American Greatness, talks about his 13 Big Predictions for 2023.

What You Need to Know is Dems want a SWAT Team against the GOP? David Brock (formerly Media Matters) wants to beat up on Republicans in the House who will investigate corruption. We need to read and understand his braggadocious memo, because it's really a pretty good playbook at what's coming. What's the RNC doing, however? Ronna McDaniel is setting up a commission led by Henry Barbour (a Republican grifter if there ever was one) to figure out how to do better in elections. If that's how they're going to engage, I can tell you it's going to fail miserably. We must fight for the country. Michael Volpe, investigative journalist and author, talks about his recent article — A Modest Proposal. Michael talks about how to speed processes and reduce costs by proposing forcing courts to hold custody trials no more than a year after filing. Be sure to check out MichaelVolpe.Substack.com. Dr. Ted Malloch, author, lecturer, businessman, and contributor to American Greatness, talks about his latest article FTX and the Root of Our Financial Crisis.

Michael Volpe joins us today to discuss several of his most recent investigative cases. We will delve into false imprisonment and the corrupt justice system. Guest Link Michael Volpe
What You Need to Know about Three big things happening this week! 1) Merrick Garland's appearance is weak and career-ending. He will likely be out of office by Thanksgiving. 2) The notion that Biden only found out about Monday's raid or Merrick Garlands press conference when it became public is a lie or he's out of it. Susan Rice knew about it, guaranteed. 3) Democrats are stuck defending this over-reach because they have to look rabidly anti-Trump to run for president or to win their primaries. Michael Volpe, investigative journalist and author, talks about how All Court Orders Are Not Created Equal. Michael explains that the way that court orders are done are entirely haphazard. Their enforcement of court orders are also haphazard and chaotic. Be sure to check out MichaelVolpe@substack.com. Dr. Scott S. Powell — Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute, American Historian, & author, shares his recent article — A Chinese Trojan Horse in Grand Forks, North Dakota? Dr. Powell explains how the Chinese have chosen not to play by our rules but to catch up any way they can. China is truly the largest and greatest world power in committing industrial espionage. Be sure and get a copy of his book Rediscovering America: How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story about Who We Are. What You Need to Do is check out Jack Posobiec's dramatic reading of Gen. Milley resignation letter. It's awesome! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Slam the Gavel welcomes Rick Black to the show. He and his wife established the Center for Estate Administration Reform in 2018 Their headquarters are located in Charlotte, NC and they have been advocating for seniors and dependent adults as well as those exploited by the legal community in equity court proceedings since 2014. Rick's wife, Terri, lost her father in Las Vegas when she discovered his landlord and longtime friend had stolen $220,000 from him and was systematically exploiting and neglecting him. When confronted with this, his “friend” took him hostage and was able to completely isolate him from all family with the help of a "professional guardian" and three attorneys until he died in 2015. Terri had all the legal authority and executed documents to protect her father and yet law enforcement negligence and the predatory legal community ensured his complete exploitation. This experience caused Rick to leave his profession as an Engineer and begin studying guardianship files and proceedings in Nevada and nationwide. His research and work with local media and the Nevada Attorney General gained a state wide investigation into adult guardianship abuse. As of 2020, those efforts have yielded massive statewide reforms and 10 convictions of Nevada attorneys and professional guardians who used guardianships as a cover for their criminal acts. There were two cases in Clark County that went to trial in 2020. Since 2014 CEAR has investigated and counseled over 5,000 cases nationwide of suspected DPOA, trust, and adult guardianship and probate frauds orchestrated by the predatory legal community.To Reach Rick Black: www.cearjustice.org 804-564-5330 Facebook: Cear Justice Twitter and Instagram Support the show(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)http://beentheregotout.com/https://monicaszymonik.mykajabi.com/Masterclass USE CODE SLAM THE GAVEL PODCAST FOR 10% OFF THE COURSEhttp://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/Music by: mictechmusic@yahoo.comSupport the show
Slam the Gavel welcomes back Michael Volpe, Investigative Journalist, to discuss the rampant corruption taking place in the Family Court System in the state of Connecticut. Along with it's corruption, Michael explains several cases that have taken place where Parental Alienation is used against a parent to remove children. There is a common pattern where a mother will go back into court for Child Support and the judge will go along with the opposing side of false allegations and Parental Alienation to remove the children from the mother. Guardian ad Litems continue to make money out of the conflict, parent's and their children's suffering all in order to get a colleague elected for judge. The extreme lengths and far reach of corruption is immeasurable. Michael also wrote up an Act to be submitted, called The Elaine Pudlowski Act. This would end the reign of rogue Custody Evaluators, Guardian ad Litems' and other third party appointees. Fast-paced and intriguing podcast not to be missed.

What You Need to Know is about the Narrative Machine's Propaganda! Two important points of information coming out JUST this week — 1. President Biden met with a number of TikTok influencers this week at the White House. He talked with them about the Ukraine situation and gave them talking points to share. Now they are reinforcing the narrative that gas prices are Putin's fault — not Biden's. 2. Reports showed this week that the government paid close to a billion dollars to push their Covid related ads to news outlets. It is apparent more and more that the information being fed to us is planned and calculated. It's hard to know who to trust. Michael Volpe, investigative journalist, and author, talks about How whistleblowing lawyers get retaliated through the BAR disciplinary process. Michael shares real life stories on how this is affecting good lawyers. You can read these stories at MichaelVolpe.substack.com. John Schlafly delivers the #SchlaflyReport! This week's column is “Clean Out the Rot”. John explains that the United States does not have any commitments to Ukraine and is not aligned with them, but it's disturbing seeing our representatives essentially taking our country to war without the approval of the American people. Find all of John's work with his brother Andy Schlafly at PhyllisSchlafly.com. Wrap up: There was going to be a hearing today about Examining Stock Trading Reforms for Congress but it was suspended. This isn't shocking really. If and when they ever have a hearing, I'll let you know! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Slam The Gavel welcomes back Michael Volpe, Investigative Journalist to discuss cases of corruption in Family Court going on in LA and Orange County, California. Apparently, these are local rackets structured the same, yet the names are different. However, the local public doesn't know what they are doing. California is unique in its own way as they have Private Judges. The court system in California is so backed up, but if a parent "pays" for a Private Judge, their case will move faster and in the direction of their favor. Judge Tamara Hall was moved from Family Court for four years, yet she is tied to many court cases. Upon discussing the Marika Taylor case, her ex-husband shows up in Hall's chambers and Judge Hall then writes an exparte order to give the ex sole custody. It appears it was a permanent order and several other judges "rubber stamped" it, continuing it, and Marika hasn't seen her son in six years..... From Family Bridges, a reunification camp to Judges creating cases and dragging them out in order to bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars the greed continues. The book, "Screw The Bitch," is very well known handbook for men filing for divorce and that was discussed at length, along with the case Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349 (1978) is the leading US Supreme Court conclusion on judicial immunity. This too was an in-depth discussion not to be missed.

Bonkers, basically. The story of opera singer Adelina Patti is one of the most eye-popping of all the tales we explore in this series. The saga starts in Madrid, where Patti was born in 1843, before it takes us to Clapham in South London, moves around the world and ends in a haunted castle in Wales. As well as being in possession of a stunning voice, Patti made an absolute fortune, was friends with Tchaikovsky, was a billiard champion, owned one of the world's first ice-making machines, and built a theatre in her back garden decorated with images of herself and kitted out with a mechanical auditorium floor. She once threw a party where 450 bottles of Champagne were drunk. Who ever said that opera was boring? If it weren't for the pandemic, Dave and James were planning to record this episode on location at Patti's former pile in Wales. Instead, they're relying on documents and diaries – and their brilliant regular guest Michael Volpe – to tell the story of Patti's madcap 63-year career. A child prodigy, Patti remains one of the legends of opera. She made her professional debut in 1859 in New York when she was 16, before being invited to sing at Covent Garden two years later. She was a smash so she… bought a house in Clapham. She used it as a base to conquer Europe. Soon she was touring the world, singing for Presidents and royalty. So in demand was Patti, it is said, that she could demand to be paid $5,000 a night IN GOLD in advance. That's the equivalent of $100,000 a night in today's money. We don't want to spoil the story but we can't wait for you to hear this episode. Patti left her recording until the end of her career, when Fred and colleagues went to her Welsh castle with their gear to capture her voice. Their recollections of what went on there are recounted here in their incredible detail. Although her voice was not in its prime due to her age, the Patti recordings are things of beauty. You can almost hear the stories, and the scars and bumps of a life well lived, in the songs she committed to the gramophone. We hope you enjoy it all. Hosted on Acast.

Melba toast. Peach Melba. Melba sauce. Why are we listing foodstuffs (and sounding a bit like Alan Partridge in the process)? Because they are all named after the subject of this episode of The Sound of the Hound, Nellie Melba. The soprano was one of the most famous singers of the era – and it was Fred who captured her voice for us to enjoy over 100 years later. Melba was born in Victoria, Australia, in 1861 and moved to Europe in the mid-1880s in search of a singing career. Nothing really happened in London so she went to Paris and found success there. Curious, romantic and demanding, Melba soon became a household name in opera houses around the world. Although she recorded some phonograph cylinders in New York in 1895, she hated them (a “scratching, screeching” noise, “never again,” she declared). It fell to Fred, his brother Will and their associate Landon Ronald to change her mind. “Melba was more than a prima donna. She was in the diva class, and well she knew it,” Fred wrote. But in early 1904, they captured her voice. The session was not without its problems. The biggest one was that she demanded the recording took place in her Great Cumberland Place flat in London – complete with a full orchestra. She was “dominant” and “harsh” and, despite all the work, refused to let The Gramophone Company release the recordings. It took all of Fred's guile to persuade her to finally release them. Once out, they sold like hot cakes, increasing her fame. Her recording sessions then became events in themselves. Journalists were invited, and Melba even had her own coloured label on her discs. Indeed, the initially reluctant singer lapped it all up, becoming something of a recording pioneer; she did a live radio broadcast and her last appearance at Covent Garden in 1926 was recorded by His Master's Voice and broadcast. She became a Dame. So famous was she that another Dame, Kiri Te Kanawa, played her in Downton Abbey. Michael Volpe joins us to discuss this memorable singer, her unique voice and her incredible legacy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Growing up as an Italian boy in London, Michael Volpe listened to everything from Mario Lanza to prog Rock. Despite having very little money, his mum brought him and his brothers up with plenty of Italian food, packed social gatherings, alongside the expected Italian family dramas, much to the shock of his girlfriends. As a teenager he excelled in music and the performing arts, but turned down an opportunity to audition at RADA, feeling that it wasn't the path for him. Going on to take a role at what was then Holland Park Theatre to promote and market the festival of visiting productions, he brought audience numbers up from 15,000 to 25,000 in his first year. He realised that opera was the heart of the work at Holland Park, and the way to create work of real value and impact would be to develop a new festival with an entity of its own. As General Manager of Opera Holland Park, alongside the Producer James Clutton – now Director of Opera & CEO - the pair formed a formidable long-running partnership until Michael recently retired from OHP, joining Iford Arts as Interim Executive Director, where he's inspiring the future of the festival. Michael has just been awarded an OBE for his services to opera, and his journey is beautifully captivated in his book ‘Noisy at the wrong times' one of The Sunday Times' 100 biographies to love.

In this episode we look at the epic – and we mean epic – story of Russian bass singer Feodor Chaliapin. The singer's relationship with Fred spanned decades, continents, wars and revolutions. It is a tale about music but it is also a tale about the extraordinary power of friendship. And spats. It's a story about spats. And potatoes. And backstage punch-ups. This episode really does have it all. Chaliapin was a big beast of a man with one of the deepest and most expressive voices you can imagine. He was born in the same year as Fred, 1873, but on the other side of the world, in Kazan in Russia, and into poverty. He took to singing as a youngster and, shortly after his 20thbirthday, was performing at the Imperial Opera in St Petersburg. Fred first heard him in 1900 when he was in the city scouting for talent. He immediately made moves to record this “enormous young bass” singer, but Chaliapin would not respond to his overtures. Again and again Fred tried but, despite becoming friends, it wasn't until 1910 that they signed a contract (with steep terms dictated by the Russian). The recordings were tricky. The thin-skinned Chaliapin would only record at certain times of the day and was partial to raucous vodka-fuelled parties, which one imagines Fred only mildly resisted. A strong bond was formed. Chaliapin sung in front of the British royal family in London but not before the burly bass got involved in a backstage fist fight. He was on the cusp of global fame and untold riches when the First World War broke out. Back in Russia with his family, Chaliapin was thrust back into poverty. He was paid in potatoes and lived in rags. It took a daring and covert mission by Fred to get him out of Russia (with the help of author H.G. Wells) and smuggle him back to England. Here, Chaliapin indulged in his love for fine tailoring and shoes and, of course, singing. Sell-out crowds treated this great, bruised singer as something of a hero. He and Fred went to America (eventful, inevitably) and stayed close until Chaliapin's death in Paris in 1938. This story has to be heard to be believed. We are joined in this episode once again by Michael Volpe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Diva alert! In episode four, Holley and Hall tell the story of the recording of one of opera's greatest characters, Emma Calvé. Basking in the glory of having captured the voice of the mighty Enrico Caruso in Milan (as outlined in Series One of The Sound of the Hound), Fred goes on something of a recording spree back in London. But he gets more than he bargained for with Calvé, who proves to be something of a handful.Calvé, who is today seen as one of the greatest opera singers of the Belle Epoque era, had made her name playing the lead role in Carmen when Fred records her (indeed, her interpretation of the role is still widely used today). But Fred and his team discover that the character's feistiness is not confined to the stage when they try to coax Calvé into their Covent Garden studio. Holley and Hall tell the tale of this complex French diva, and play some of her famous – or as Fred would no doubt have it – infamous recordings. Her dissatisfaction with one of her tracks was caught on disc, and we play it here. We are joined in this episode for the first time by our new regular guest Michael Volpe, the founder and former general director of Opera Holland Park. Michael brilliantly dissects Calvé's voice and gives us an insight into her career. He also tells us if, to put it bluntly, she was really any good. Hosted on Acast.

Where is the media? Why haven't they covered more of family court stories? investigative journalist Michael Volpe of PJ Media describes why the press won't cover these cases. Michael Volpe BIO As seen in: The Times, The Daily Caller, The American Conservative, The Stage, Lexology, Bloomberg Law News, Bloomberg Industry Group, The Arts Desk, Long Island Press, Gotham Gazette and more After spending more than a decade in finance, I changed course entirely in my professional career and became a freelance journalist. Since 2009, I've been published both locally in Chicago in newspapers and magazines like New City, Times of Northwest Indiana, Inside Booster, Welles Park Bulldog, Chicago Reader, and Chicago Heights Patch. I've also expanded into national stories. On the national level, my work has been published in such places as the Daily Caller, WND, Counter Punch, Crime Magazine, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference Newsletter, Front Page Magazine, and Big Government. In 2009, my expose of Dr. Anna Chacko led in part to her termination from the Pittsburgh VA. My expose of Dr. Chacko also received coverage in the Pittsburgh Tribune as well as the radiology website, Aunt Minnie. In October 2012, I published my first book entitled "Prosecutors Gone Wild: The Inside Story of the Trial of Chuck Panici, John Gliottoni, and Louise Marshall." In 1993, once powerful City of Chicago Heights mayor, Chuck Panici, was convicted, along with co-defendants John Gliottoni and Louise Marshall, of a number of corruption related charges, including RICO charges. This book revisits that trial and exposes the corruption perpetrated on the court. The book proves that all three defendants were innocent and victims of a grand conspiracy perpetrated by ambitious prosecutors and desperate criminals.

SPECIAL TOPIC Night - "For Our Kids" - Deborah Maddison and Eugenea Couture, Canadian activists from British Columbia, will join Bill Murray to lead this evening's discussion about the Rights of Children and Families in North America. ~~ TONIGHT'S TOPIC: "Organized Crime?" The IRS has released a federal tax lien in a case in which substantial evidence of criminal fraud was proven and perpetrated by a judge, lawyers and experts. However, the Allegheny County District Attorney has refused to prosecute these criminals. This begs the question, are any criminal acts prosecuted for any crimes perpetrated in Family Courts across this country? With vicious retaliation occurring against those who dare to stand up to this 'Old Boy's Club', where are we to turn? Agencies sweep crimes and complaints under the rug, accepting money from professionals to operate without impunity. They punish any who try to uphold ethics and mandates. The difference between this and the mob or any other criminal organization is the fact that these perpetrators never have to fear prosecution for their crimes. Join us tonight as we talk with Dr. Jim Singer, noted journalist Michael Volpe and Claude Clanton with his shocking story of systemic retaliation. ~~ Every two weeks a new THEME will be presented in this series, with frequent special guests speaking from their own experience. ~~ Please see our web page at: www.NAASCA.org/ForOurKids or write to: naasca.forourkids@gmail.com
