So much going on! The T20 fixtures are coming thick and fast, there's an imminent - and brief - return to the County Championship and there's yet more trouble off the field at both Lancashire and Middlesex. Our regular panel of county supporters are here to dissect it all!Oliver Hawke, Craig Tranter, David Wright, Barrie Funnell, Dan Haggar and Alex Gates share their thoughts.
Host Hazel Baker and Westminster guide Philip Scott record in Soho Square, tracing its shift from Middlesex countryside and royal hunting ground—where “Soho!” was cried—to a late-1600s development originally called King Square for Charles II, whose weathered statue remains after being moved and later returned. They highlight residents and landmarks, including Mary Seacole's blue plaque and her Crimean War work after being refused by Florence Nightingale's nurses: she built the British Hotel, treated soldiers and went to battlefields, later publishing her 1857 autobiography and receiving a benefit concert. They discuss Seacole's rediscovery from the 1980s and her statue near Parliament, the square's 1925 mock-Tudor gardener's hut and tunnel myth, Huguenot immigration and the French-language Protestant church, Theresa Cornelis and Casanova, and trivia about entertainer Danny La Rue, buried near Seacole. The episode ends promoting a Soho walking tour.
Lancashire CCC had their AGM last Sunday and by all accounts was a lively affair. With yet another SGM slated for 9.30am on Sunday 7th June, co-founder of the Lancashire Action Group Ian Lomax gives his take on events. Craig Tranter then offers his view on whether all the off-field activity is having an effect on the field. We hear from Surrey supporter David Wright, who expresses his concerns at falling attendances at the T20 Blast, notably the Middlesex v Surrey fixture at Lord's, which in the past was a 26k sell-out, but this weekend, barely 7,000 were in attendance. Finally, writer Tim Brooks has got a new book out - "The Englishman" - and very good it is too! He joined me for a curry and told me all about it.

Retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins examines the rise and influence of Louis “Streaky” Gatto and the Genovese crime family's powerful New Jersey faction. Drawing from a 2004 New Jersey Crime Commission report, this episode explores how Genovese crews operated across multiple counties while controlling illegal gambling, loan sharking, and waterfront rackets through intimidation and organized violence. Gary breaks down the structure of Gatto's Bergen County crew, including the involvement of his son Joseph Gatto and son-in-law Alan “Little Al” Greco. The discussion details how the crew maintained control over bookmaking and gambling operations and how prosecutors later tied key members to murders connected to their criminal enterprises. The episode also dives into the federal RICO prosecution and the dramatic courtroom testimony of witness Robert Belli. Gary explains allegations that associates of the Gatto crew attempted to pressure and intimidate witnesses before testimony, including claims involving the infamous “evil eye” or malocchio. Prosecutors argued that subtle intimidation tactics, courtroom stares, and indirect threats were all part of an effort to influence testimony. Another major focus is Moe Brown, a reputed associate connected to the Gatto organization. The episode explores how prosecutors used recordings and testimony to connect Brown to the defendants and how his conduct in court became part of the government's intimidation narrative. Finally, Gary examines the later criminal cases involving Joseph Gatto, including offshore sports betting operations, convictions, prison sentences, and the eventual decline of the family's gambling empire. The episode concludes with the deaths of both Joseph Gatto and Louis “Streaky” Gatto, marking the end of an era for one of New Jersey's most feared Genovese crews.

I did this interview with Scott Deitch about Jerry Katina, and I got a lot of. [0:12] Comments, a lot of reactions to that show, a lot of New Jersey mob fans, Genovese mob fans out there. A guy named Carmine, Carmine something, he had some other numbers after his name. Carmine commented that I should do a show on Louis Streaky Gatto. That was a New Jersey capo who was one of the Chin’s best earners in the Genovese family. He had a crew down in New Jersey. And if you notice, one more thing, I was going to mention this before. I got a new hat. Now, check this out. [0:46] Hope you can see that. Got the gangland wire insignia on it. Now, this is my official gangland wire hat. [0:56] Louis Streaky Gatto, the New Jersey Crime Commission report in May 2004, reported that the Genovese family maintained five crews headquartered in New Jersey. Each was overseen by a capo, of course, and each of the four New York-based crews, this is right out of The Sopranos, about 40 soldiers and more than 400 criminal associates who were active in New Jersey. [1:21] They reported that the family operated in the northern New Jersey counties of Hudson, Essex, Union, Bergen, and Passaic County. They also had gained strength in Middlesex, Monmouth, and Ocean counties. Ocean, is that down in Atlantic City? I don’t have a map in front of me, so I’m not sure. The crime report stated that the Genovese family controlled the largest bookmaking and loan sharking rings in the New York, New Jersey metropolitan area. And the family maintained a strong influence on the Port Newark, Elizabeth, and Hudson County waterfronts. This report also identified the family consigliere Lawrence Little Larry Dentico as a person with the most extensive familiarity of the family’s New Jersey operations because he had been the top aide to the former consigliere and New York, New Jersey operations chief, Louis A. Bobby Mann. I did a show on Bobby Mann and Irwin Schiff and some of those plots, I don’t know, sometime in the last year, I believe. This 2004 report identified the five capos at that time in New Jersey, and they were Tino Fouimara, who died in 2010, Angelo Prisco, who died in 2017, Joseph Gatto died in 2010, Silvio DeVita, and Ludwig Bruchy, who died in 2020. [2:44] Now, Streaky Gatto, Louis Streaky Gatto, he was always the favorite money earner of Vincent de Chin Gigante. Before he was promoted to captain, his New Jersey crew was led by a capo named Peter LaPlaca until the mid-1970s, and that’s when Streaky Gatto took over the crew. Gatto was the boss of Bergen County with the help of his son, Joseph the Eagle Gatto. And his son-in-law, and a guy who keeps coming back in this thing, and who was his top enforcer, Alan Little Al Greco. I noticed a comment. Somebody said that he was really half Polish. I think his mother was Polish and his father was Italian. Somebody correct me on that in the comments, if you will. Controlled large illegal gambling, loan sharking, bookmaking operations in Bergen and Passaic counties. [3:33] These three guys used murder, violence, and fear to click on these rackets and control everybody who was a bookmaker. You couldn’t be, like Chicago, you couldn’t be a lone wolf bookmaker making money without these guys getting a piece of your action and working with you on it. They made sure that other rivals didn’t take advantage of somebody that was [3:55] under their protection. Gatto and Alan Greco, Little Al, were indicted on two counts of murder for the murders of Arthur Belli and Vincent Mastretti. They also were alleged to be behind the murders of a guy named Jack Handsome Jack, Ciaranella, Johnny Lombardi, and Peter Adamo. 1991-1990. [4:20] Streaky Gatto and Alan Greco were sentenced to 65 years. Streaky Gatto’s son, Joseph Gatto, was indicted on racketeering charges in the same RICO prosecution, but he only received 30 months. There was an appeal to that trial, and we learned a little bit about their brazen intimidation tactics, how it works. There’s a guy named Robert Belli, whose brother had had a gambling operation. His brother, Arthur Belli, was one of the persons in that RICO case that was murdered by Streaky Gatto. They called on Robert Belli to testify about the extortionate takeover of their gambling business. And he said that little Al Greco once told him, he said, things are going to be different now. And then shortly after that, Robert Belli’s hot dog truck was blown up and he was beaten by two men with baseball bats, typical mob extortionist takeovers of a small-time gambler, a bookie, a guy that had his own book of business, his own customers. As a result, he just gave it up. But he also testified that Belli disappeared and now we’re in trial for Belli being murdered by Streaky Gatto and planned on returning to the business just before he disappeared. [5:37] Now, in cross-examination, it turns out that he had been spoken to by somebody in the Gatto families because he all of a sudden starts agreeing with all the defense counsel’s suggestions, first of all, that the prosecutor paid him and pressured him, and all the local police and prosecutors involved in the case were corrupt. I’ll redirect. The prosecutor tries to show that Belli had become hostile to government and accommodating to the defense because he’d been intimidated. They asked Belli about a guy named Frank Sesta, who was known as Mo Brown. We’ll refer to him as Mo Brown. He was always known as Mo Brown. Belli stated that after defense investigators, Gatto’s lawyers and their investigators handed him into a meeting with the defense counsel, Mo Brown showed up and wanted to take him to the meeting. And then when he wouldn’t go with Mo Brown, Brown tried to pressure him into letting one of his associates drive him to this meeting and again to a pretrial hearing. He wouldn’t do it. He knew better than that. He took a ride with a government investigator. He did have to go meet with the defense counsel, of course. Anybody that’s going to be a witness against you, they have to make them available to the defense investigators and counsels, defense counsel, in order to do a deposition or just listen to what, see what they got to say. [6:59] He said Brown approached him and told him about a job interview. He said he’d take him to his job interview just before he testified at trial. He said Brown had discussed the case with him more than once and once said, isn’t it a shame that Little Al got 60 years in this case and he did get 65 years? And this all was coming out after they got their 65-year sentences, Little Al and Streaky Gatto. They just kept coming back. And then during the trial, the prosecutors got testimony from Belli that Moe Brown had been in the courtroom and standing directly in front of him several times and that he looked at him with an unhappy look. [7:36] Of course, they objected, the defense counsel objected to all that. They also introduced evidence that this Moe Brown was really closely connected to Streaky Gatto and Little Al Greco. They’d sent him into surveillance during the social club, the Lodi Social Club, and sent him with other people in the defendant’s gambling business. They also had a tape of a conversation between Louis Gatto Jr., Stryker Gatto’s son, and little Al Greco, talking about Mo Brown, that they were real familiar with him. So they connected Mo Brown to the Gattos and to Little Al Greco and then showed how he was then in court and was given the witness, the evil eye, the malokia, I think they call it, something like that was in The Godfather. And that he had tried to befriend the guy before he testified and told him about a job and tried to give him rides different places. They even mentioned that how… [8:39] They asked the witness Belli about three occasions during the trial when Al Greco had given him a look. One was before he testified, and Greco passed by him in the hallway, and he gave him a look. Defense has strenuously objected to this. It’s irrelevant, and you can’t really say that look was a bad look. The defense counsel strenuously objected to these points, but it was overruled. The second look came when Belli was in the back of the courtroom him waiting to testify, and Greco, Little Al Greco, just turned his chair around just to give him a look, and the third time was when Greco stood up and then turned over around and looked at Belli during the sidebar while Belli was on the stand. Prosecutor then asked Belli if Greco had ever looked at him that way before, and Belli said, well, he had. He said when he told him, Little Al Greco told him things are going to be different just before he beat him up, or had he beaten, And, of course, they strenuously object to all this. In the end, it did not do any good. In the end, little Al Greco still got his 65 years, and he didn’t get a new trial or anything. [9:45] A little story in regards to little Al Greco, the guy that was son-in-law to Strique Gatto and was right under him. It seemed like he was his main kind of enforcement guy, guy out dealing, maybe underboss, under people trying to, guy that deals with people on the street. He made a connection with a notorious New Jersey con artist and mob associates, Tom Giacomaro. They wanted him to come in and be a made man, supposedly, in the 80s. And, you know, he didn’t want it. He was independent. He knew better because once you come in, you know, they’re going to take everything from you. And he was quoted as saying, you know, I don’t want to kiss the ring. Everybody’s kissing Streaky Gatto’s ring, he said, except me. Jack Amaro was in the trucking business with two of Streaky’s crew, and they were making a lot of money. Streaky wanted to sit down. He wanted to bring this guy in because he was earning a lot of money. Giacomaro remembers that they met at Vesuvius in Newark. I mean, it sounds just like the Sopranos, doesn’t it? He described the table and how it went down. He said, Streaky sat at the head of the table with his sons right next to him, Joseph and Louis Jr. And his son-in-law, little Al Greco. [11:02] And Giacomaro remembered that Streaky was a skinny little guy who hardly said anything, but he said he had an ego big enough to suffocate the entire restaurant. Over again, little Al took care of the business during this lunch. He pitched Giacomaro on Friday. Him joining the family plan. And Streaky, during this time, he made a big production of putting some $100 bills between his knuckles. He held up his fist when the waiters came and they kissed his ring and took the bill and said, oh, thank you, Don Luigi. Thank you. During this lunch, he remembered that little Al once said, you know, we want to open the books for use. We got big plans for use. He knew what that meant. He knew he was then going to have to give him a percentage of his earnings and let them use his businesses to launder their money. Finally, he says, you know, Giacomaro says, I told Streaky and I told Lil Al, I said, you know, what can you really offer me with that? I don’t already have. He said, it was like everybody just quit breathing. [12:02] Just a dead silence fell over the table. He said he thought Streaky Yaddo was going to leap across his pastas and stab him in the eye with a fork. He didn’t, you know, he’s in a public place. And, you know, he would later say, you know, I was going to use them for everything they had, but never be one of them. You know, I’ll infiltrate their world all the way at the top if I can, [12:22] but I ain’t never being made because the only crime boss I want to answer to is myself. Joseph Gatto, Stricky Gatto’s son, was released in 1993, and he took over control of his father’s crew. He expanded the crew’s gambling operations and introduced, you know, brings it in the 21st century, so to speak, of the use of pagers and cell phones. And by 1999, he gets convicted again on some illegal gambling charges and took a plea deal. And at that time, he did admit that he was a capo of the Genovese family. You know, gambling is getting lesser, lighter sentences by then. He had a pretty light sentence. He gets released again in 2003. But a year later, he’s indicted in 2004 for running something called Catalina Sports, which is an offshore wire room in Costa rica bosley this thing was taking in 300 to 500 hundred thousand dollars profit per week and these gatos they were they were money earners that’s for sure that conviction gets overturned and you know by now 2005. [13:22] They did try him again in 2008. I don’t even know what happened. He’ll die in 2010. He’ll never go back to jail again. And nobody cares about gambling by then because it’s getting opened up all over the place. Streaky Gatto, who originally started talking about his father, died in prison in 2002. He never got out after he got that 65-year sentence from his RICO and murder convictions. So that’s a little bit about Louis Streaky Gatto. [13:48] And Carmine, thanks for suggesting that. So I hope y’all like this story. I hope y’all like my hat with my Gangland Wire logo on it. Talk to you later. Thanks, guys.

Message us.In this second episode of Season Eleven, host Andrew Martin is delighted to welcome the family historian, author, lecturer, historical interpreter, One-Place and One-Name studier Dr. Janet Few who amongst these roles is also the President of the Family History Federation.Janet explains how she got hooked on researching family history, her passion for One-Name and One-Place studies and how they complement family history research, and her thoughts on the genealogy industry.THE LIFE STORY - ANN STRATFORDJanet has chosen to tell the life story of her 2x Great Grandmother Ann Stratford b.c. 1834, with whom Janet discovered a surprise extra connection to. Ann's family were based in a rural community in Buckinghamshire, England, and times were hard. Ann learned straw plaiting (something Janet wasn't as successful with) and this brought the family a valuable income.However, plaiting was taught at an early age in specialist schools, and those who were good at it could earn sometimes twice as much as the men... and this seems to have been a problem! The plait girls and women were thought of as disreputable, and they were victim of lots of bad press. THE BRICK WALL - MARY CARDELLAn unusual surname gives Janet a long-term brick wall - Mary Cardell - her 2x Great Grandmother and the only one of her 2x Great Grandparents whose parents (her 3x Gt Grandparents) remain unknown.Janet has found several references to Mary having been born in Highgate, Middlesex, England, with her 1841 marriage certificate giving her father as James Cardell, and the witnesses including a Catherine Cardell. Janet can't find a baptism record for Mary, but she can find references to other Cardells, but she isn't able to link them up. Is there a Worcestershire connection?Can you help Janet;Find Mary and her husband Philip Woolgar in the 1851 census?Find Mary's baptism, with James Cardell as her father?If you think you can help Janet with a clue or idea, then you can contact her at her Granny's Tales website. Alternatively, you can send us a message and we'll pass it on.In the meantime, Janet is curious of Andrew's offer of help, but has concerns over her safety...- - -Episode Credits:Andrew Martin - Host and ProducerDr. Janet Few - GuestSupport the showThank you for listening!

Gabriella Ambrosio"Aprile è una strana stagione"Gramma Feltrinelliwww.feltrinellieditore.itLa complessità dell'amore e della sessualità umani ha dato spesso vita, in alcuni magistrali romanzi, a personaggi indimenticabili, capaci di dar voce ai propri desideri e ai propri sentimenti al di là delle convenzioni e dei pregiudizi sociali. Si pensi, ad esempio, a libri come Orlando di Virginia Woolf o a Middlesex di Jeffrey Eugenides. È la magia della letteratura, capace di addentrarsi là dove nessuna indagine psicologica o medica può: nell'impenetrabile problematicità della natura umana e del suo desiderio.In Aprile è una strana stagione è all'opera una simile magia. Gabriella Ambrosio ritrae vita e avventura di un protagonista unico, che fa della duplicità della propria sessualità, dell'attrazione e della fascinazione per i due sessi, la ragione fondamentale del suo essere, la possibilità reale di divenire artefice della sua condotta e di sé stesso. È la storia romanzata di un cineasta italiano realmente vissuto che, nato negli anni trenta, attraversa il Novecento, passando per tre continenti e soprattutto due sessi: dall'infanzia napoletana degli anni del dopoguerra – dove la lingua di Gabriella Ambrosio, napoletana di nascita, si addolcisce in modo struggente –all'adolescenza in un collegio, fino all'età adulta con la paternità e insieme le più violente oscillazioni del pendolo della sua esistenza, amando uomini e donne ed essendo amato da entrambi, vivendo mille vite dentro una sola. Grazie a una scrittura impeccabile, capace di scolpire con parole vivissime le vicissitudini di un'avventura esistenziale, Gabriella Ambrosio dona al lettore una storia in cui trionfa un'unica norma: la legge dell'amore. Gabriella Ambrosio, napoletana di origini, laureata in filosofia, è scrittrice, saggista, copywriter pubblicitaria pluripremiata a livello internazionale e giornalista di cronaca.Ha pubblicato Prima di lasciarsi (Nutrimenti, 2004), un romanzo tratto dalla storia vera di un attentato kamikaze a Gerusalemme, “un viaggio straordinario, ricco di empatia e stile” secondo Colum McCann, tradotto in 11 lingue, e Il garbuglio di Garlasco. Un perfetto colpevole e l'ostinata ricerca della verità (Rubbettino, 2022).

En 1945, à Nuremberg, de hauts responsables nazis étaient jugés pour crime de guerre et crime contre l'humanité… 80 ans après ce procès historique, comment s'inspirer de ce tribunal fondateur de la justice internationale pour en finir avec l'impunité dans les conflits armés en Ukraine, à Gaza ou encore en RDC ? Le 20 novembre 1945 s'ouvrait à Nuremberg, en Allemagne, le plus grand procès de l'histoire. D'un commun accord, la France, les États-Unis, l'Union soviétique et le Royaume-Uni affirmaient leur volonté de juger vingt-deux dignitaires nazis, chefs militaires ou hauts fonctionnaires, tous accusés de crimes de guerre ou de crimes contre l'humanité. Mais pourquoi invoquer Nuremberg lorsque l'on réclame la fin de l'impunité ? Le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky l'a fait pour son pays l'Ukraine en interpellant le peuple russe dès le 4 avril 2022, suite à l'invasion russe du 24 Février : « Le moment viendra où chaque Russe apprendra toute la vérité sur ceux de ses concitoyens qui ont tué. Qui a donné des ordres. Qui a fermé les yeux sur ces meurtres. Nous allons établir tout cela. Et le faire connaitre dans le monde entier. Nous sommes maintenant en 2022. Et nous avons beaucoup plus d'outils que ceux qui ont poursuivi les nazis après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. » Et le docteur Mukwege, prix Nobel de la paix a explicitement fait référence à Nuremberg, en octobre 2024, lors d'un passage à l'Université de Strasbourg en France : « Les Congolaises et les Congolais ont aussi droit à leur Nuremberg. Telle est la raison pour laquelle nous plaidons aux côtés des victimes et des survivant.es pour l'établissement d'un Tribunal international pénal pour le Congo et/ou des chambres spécialisées mixtes. » Un Nuremberg pour l'Ukraine, Gaza ou la RDC est-il possible ? Une enquête signée Clémentine Méténier avec William Schabbas, professeur de droit pénal international et des droits de l'homme à Londres, Université de Middlesex, Leyden et Sciences Po ; Christian Delage, historien et cinéaste, réalisateur du film historique «Nuremberg, les nazis face à leur crime» ; Thierry Cruvellier, rédacteur en chef du site Justice Info ; Rafaëlle, professeure de droit international à l'Université Paris Saclay et travaille sur la justice pénale internationale, précisément sur la notion de génocide. Reagan Miviri, avocat au Barreau de Goma dans le Nord-Kivu, il travaille au sein de Ebuteli l'Institut congolais de recherche sur la politique, la gouvernance et la violence. À lire sur le site Justice Info Le grand entretien de Clémentine Méténier avec l'historien et cinéaste Christian Delage. À suivre au Mémorial de la Shoah à Paris la journée d'étude Nuremberg et son héritage, 1945-2025. Le 20 novembre 2025 marque le 80è anniversaire de l'ouverture, à Nuremberg, du procès des grands criminels nazis, où, pour la première fois, des responsables politiques et militaires de haut niveau – accusés des crimes de conspiracy (complot), crimes contre la paix, crimes de guerre et crimes contre l'humanité – étaient traduits devant une cour internationale, composée des principales forces alliées victorieuses de l'Allemagne nazie. Pour le procureur général Robert H. Jackson, il s'agissait de construire un «procès documentaire», où, en raison des crimes considérables commis par les nazis, notamment leur politique d'extermination des Juifs d'Europe, il était nécessaire de faire reposer l'accusation sur des preuves irréfutables, pour éviter qu'à l'avenir leur réalité fasse l'objet d'une négation. Contre toute attente, les images allaient jouer un rôle majeur pour confronter les nazis à leurs propres crimes. La journée de colloque s'interrogera sur l'héritage des «principes de Nuremberg» depuis les années 1990, grâce au développement d'une justice internationale fondée sur des tribunaux ad hoc (du Rwanda à la Centrafrique) et des cours permanentes (Cour pénale internationale, Cour internationale de justice), appelées à statuer en particulier sur le risque potentiel ou la commission de génocides. Or, la collecte de preuves qui s'inspire de la jurisprudence de Nuremberg est forte des nouveaux outils mis en place par les autorités judiciaires, en collaboration avec des ONG et des applications en open source qui en garantissent la fiabilité. Pour la première fois dans l'histoire, en Europe comme au Proche-Orient, la fabrique du dossier probatoire se déroule en co‑construction avec la société civile, en flux tendu et en temps réel. 11h - LE CHOIX DU PROCÈS DOCUMENTAIRE La construction de la preuve, de Nuremberg à Kiyv, 1945-2025 de Christian Delage, historien, Institut d'histoire du temps présent De Nuremberg au TPIY : la jurisprudence de l'image comme preuve pénale de Ninon Maillard, maîtresse de conférences à Paris Nanterre Modération : Ghislaine Glasson Deschaumes, directrice de la MSH Mondes, Paris Nanterre. 14h - LA CONSOLIDATION D'UNE JUSTICE PÉRENNE Tribunaux pénaux internationaux, tribunaux mixtes, Cour pénale internationale : du Rwanda à la Centrafrique, des instances judiciaires multiples de Joël Hubrecht, responsable d'études et de recherche à l'Institut Robert Badinter.

Modération : Emanuela Fronza, professeure de Droit pénal international à l'Université de Bologne. 16h - LE RÔLE DES ONG Mémorial face à la réécriture de l'histoire par Poutine de Nicolas Werth, directeur de recherche honoraire au CNRS, président de l'Association Mémorial. Prendre davantage en compte les violences sexuelles en temps de guerre de Yuliia Chystiakova, chercheuse en droits humains, East Ukrainian Center for Civic Initiatives.

Steven Finn is a triple Ashes winner. A 6"8 fast bowler with 257 international wickets to his name, he was part of a side that won Test series in Australia, India and South Africa. He got Steve Smith out twice in one game, and also counts Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers amongst his Test victims. Middlesex's youngest debutant at 16, he came of age bowling at Lord's, and would end his playing career at Sussex, 19 seasons later. Still only 36, he has already established himself as a voice on the BBC's Test Match Special and will be covering this winter's hotly anticipated Ashes series for TNT Sports. His new book, The Ashes Files, charts some of the highs and lows of his own time as a professional cricketer, and in this episode of 20 Questions With he explores the psychology of bowling, the thrill of success, the single-mindedness of his commitment to a sport he grew up playing, the challenges of balancing personal life with professionalism, the skillset required for his new roles in commentary and punditry, England's chances Down Under, and the importance of Ben Stokes to the project of winning back the urn.

Graham Frederick Young was an extremely intelligent young man, who was very interested in poisons; and their effects on those around him. Haanna brings us the story and it is an incredible tale with enough twits and turns that even a 14 year old poisoner might not be able to nagivate it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/murder-mischief-moscato--5466986/support.

On 28th August 1588, the year of the Spanish Armada, a young Franciscan friar named Thomas Felton was hanged near Brentford, Middlesex. Felton's “crime”? His Catholic faith, and his refusal to acknowledge Elizabeth I as head of the Church. The son of Blessed John Felton (executed in 1570 for posting the papal bull of Elizabeth's excommunication), young Thomas endured brutal imprisonment and torture — confined in the Little Ease, flogged, and even hanged by his hands until they bled. Yet he refused to betray his faith or the priests who sheltered English Catholics. He was just 21 years old when he went to the gallows — turning down a pardon rather than compromise his beliefs. In this podcast, I, Claire Ridgway, historian and author, share the tragic yet inspiring story of Thomas Felton, and why his courage deserves to be remembered.

Season 18, Episode 14: It's almost northern Test summer time, with Ben Stokes out of hibernation, Zimbabwe playing warm-ups, and the Australian and South African IPL players... heading back to India to finish the delayed season. Ah well. Meanwhile, Cam Green makes runs while Marnus doesn't, the South African squad is named, West Indies have a new captain, Middlesex is more into Virat Kohli than Kohli is into Middlesex, and Charlotte Edwards' first squad doesn't include Sophie Ecclestone, which might mean one of two very different things.

Who digs in dead ground? A chance encounter on a desolate beach leads Maddox to a discovery that chills the very air. A parchment, a prayer, or perhaps a curse. The local priest knows better than to pry, but Maddox cannot resist the lure of the unknown. On the windswept Breton coast, something awakens. Experience the unsettling tale of "Celui-Là." Helen Madeline Leys, born on 11 July 1892 in Hampton Hill, Middlesex, and passing away in Devon in 1965, was a British educator and writer whose work, though initially overlooked, is now gaining renewed appreciation for its subtly unsettling atmosphere and exploration of folk horror themes. Whilst her given name was Helen Madeline Leys, she wrote under a number of pseudonyms, most notably Eleanor Scott.
