Podcasts about Moonstone

We return to Wilkie Collins and early detective writing with a study of this comic story, originally published in the Atlantic Monthly back in April of 1858. Mr Yatman, a hard-working SoHo stationer, has been robbed at home and now faces financial ruin. Conditions and suspects in the crime point to a "closed circle" mystery. When the veteran Sergeant Bulmer is taken off the case, a young upstart named Matthew Sharpin takes over the investigation... in a manner of speaking. Sharpin is well-connected but absurdly self-confident and Collins leans into the popular form of epistolary writing to chart this young man's (not-so-tragic) fall.Summary@7:50; PIPES@28:40.For more on Wilkie Collins, check out our episode on "The Moonstone" from March 2022.

My loves, welcome to a new week and another Meditation Monday on The Kirsty Gallagher Podcast. Each week, I will bring you a short meditation or practice to set you up for the week ahead. You can revisit this practice as many times as you like.This week we have the Cancer new moon, a moon that invites us to journey deep into our emotions - so this week, we're going to journal with our emotions. Our emotions are messengers. They're signposts, holding powerful insight and wisdom, showing us where we're in alignment in our lives and where we may be out of alignment. That's what we'll use this meditation for: to really listen within and hear what your emotions are wanting to tell you. We'll begin by creating a safe space within you. Then I'll guide you through a series of journaling prompts, giving you around two minutes to write after each one. Try not to think too much about what you're writing. Instead, allow it to become more like automatic writing, where you simply let the words flow. If it helps, try not to lift your pen from the paper once you've started. Just keep writing, allowing whatever wants to come through to come through. And if you need a little longer with any of the prompts, simply pause the meditation and begin again when you feel complete.❤️Crystal for this practice: Moonstone to help you connect with your emotions and trust your inner wisdom.Receive the new codes coming into Earth with my Light Body Activation meditation and workbook: A guided experience designed to help you reconnect to your deeper self, awaken your gifts, and open to the deeper potential, insights and frequencies ready to come through you.

This week we present "A Terribly Strange Bed" by Wilkie Collins, first published in 1852 in Household Words, the celebrated literary magazine edited by Charles Dickens. A young Englishman in Paris visits a disreputable gambling house, breaks the bank at Rouge et Noir, and makes the mistake of accepting a bed for the night. What follows is one of the most gripping sequences in Victorian fiction—methodical, claustrophobic, and chilling in the way only the best suspense can be. Wilkie Collins is best remembered for The Woman in White and The Moonstone, but this early story reveals the master at work long before those landmarks. He thought enough of it to adapt it for live readings later in his career. Once you've heard it, you'll understand why. No ghosts. No monsters. Just a room, a bed, and the slow, silent certainty of something descending. Narrated in the Fearsome Fiction tradition—atmospheric, unhurried, faithful to the original text.

Today we talk about Dr. Karla Sofen, who is a terrible therapist and also mostly does crime under the guise of Moonstone, because she gets her power from a stone from the moon that she stole from one of her clients (the original Moonstone). What we were up to this week: Briar read Gideon the Ninth and (most of) Harrow the Ninth Olivia got a hold of the Absolute Batman #20 Tim Drake variant cover, Barbara Gordon Breakout #1, and is excited to read Absolute Green Arrow #1.

It took 20 adventures and just as many dead Darklords to finally make Naar curse. August and Jonathan do not deliberate on what the swear word was, instead choosing to use this episode to delve into greater mysteries of the universe. For the first time, we go into details about the Planes of Light, unveil how Naar got a hold of the Moonstone, and reveal what Naar's equivalent to the Sommerswerd is. This episode is a straight hour of lore, a start-to-finish gauntlet of answers to some of Magnamund's best kept secrets.

This week we're diving into a deeply personal stone for me: classic white moonstone.As we continue exploring March's theme of the Veil Between Worlds — alongside Victorian Spiritualism, liminal spaces, and upcoming Ostara energy — it felt like the perfect time to share the stone that quietly opened the doorway for me.In 2001, while newly independent and discovering who I was, I bought a moonstone pendant at a small shop on Catalina Island. I wore it constantly — and I'm wearing it again while recording this episode. Looking back, it feels like a conversation with my younger self… the one who sensed there was more beyond the surface of this world.Moonstone has always felt like:A soft doorway rather than a dramatic portalA glimpse beyond the veilA quiet, intimate cousin to labradorite✨ In This Episode:The science behind moonstone's glow (adularescence) and its feldspar structureAncient lore: solidified moonlight, sacred feminine energy, protection at nightMoonstone as a stone of new beginnings and transitionsEmotional balance, intuition, and dream workIts connection to hormonal cycles, fertility, and nurturing energyWhy moonstone enhances psychic sensitivity — especially during the full moonMoonstone doesn't rip the veil open. It gently thins it.It reminds us that not all awakenings are sudden. Some gifts unfold slowly — through cycles, through time, through lived experience.If you feel drawn to this stone, maybe it's not by accident.Sit with it under the full moon. Wear it close to your heart. Notice what begins to surface.Trust what glimmers just beyond the veil.

This is the fourth and final episode of our series examining the 1860 Road Hill House murder, the case that gave birth to modern detective fiction. Previous episodes covered the murder of three-year-old Francis Saville Kent, Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher's groundbreaking investigation, and the five years of cold case torment that preceded Constance Kent's confession.The gallery was packed to suffocation. July 21, 1865. Five years they'd waited for this moment. Five years since Francis Saville Kent was found with his throat cut in the family privy. Five years since Inspector Whicher accused Constance Kent of murdering her baby brother—and was destroyed for saying so. When the clerk asked how she pleaded, Constance spoke one word: "Guilty." No mitigation. No excuse. No insanity defense that might have saved her from prison.When Constance Kent stood in the prisoner's dock at Devizes Assizes on July 21, 1865, she refused the insanity defense her counsel had carefully prepared. Instead, she pleaded guilty to murdering her three-year-old half-brother Francis—a single word that silenced the packed courtroom and condemned her to death.But Queen Victoria's government commuted her sentence. At sixteen when she committed the murder, Constance had carried the secret for five years before confessing voluntarily. She served twenty years in Victorian prisons—first at Millbank, then Fulham Refuge—transforming from a troubled teenager into a model prisoner who educated herself and learned nursing skills.In 1886, a woman named Ruth Emilie Kaye boarded the ship Carisbrooke Castle bound for Sydney. Constance Kent ceased to exist. For fifty-eight years, she built a new life in Australia, rising to Matron at several institutions, nursing the sick and elderly, living in quiet anonymity until her death at one hundred years old in 1944. No one in Australia knew they were burying England's most notorious Victorian murderess.Key Case DetailsTrial and Sentencing (July 1865):Thirty-minute trial at Devizes AssizesJustice Willes presiding, John Duke Coleridge defendingGuilty plea rejected insanity defenseDeath sentence commuted to life imprisonmentPrison Years (1865-1885):Twenty years served at Millbank and Fulham prisonsModel prisoner with no disciplinary incidentsSelf-educated in nursing skillsRelease conditional on leaving EnglandAustralian Reinvention (1886-1944):Emigrated as Ruth Emilie Kaye aboard Carisbrooke CastleNursing career spanning four decadesMatron at Parramatta Industrial School for GirlsMatron at Pierce Memorial Nurses' Home for twenty-one yearsDied April 10, 1944, at age 100, identity unknownLiterary Legacy:Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone (1868) directly inspired by the caseSergeant Cuff character modeled on Inspector WhicherFoundation for Sherlock Holmes and entire detective fiction genreInspector Whicher died June 29, 1881—exactly twenty-one years after the murder nightFrancis Saville Kent was three years and ten months old when he died. He was not a plot device or a mystery to be solved. He was a child with dark hair and bright eyes who ate his porridge at a small table by the window, who played in the June sunshine of a Wiltshire garden, whose small voice fell silent on a night that would echo through a century and a half of English history. He was not the mystery. He was the cost.Historical Context & SourcesThis series draws extensively from Kate Summerscale's The Suspicions of Mr Whicher (2008), the definitive modern account based on extensive primary research. Original trial transcripts from the National Archives and contemporary newspaper coverage from The Times and Morning Post (1860-1865) provided additional verification.

My loves, welcome to a new week and another Meditation Monday on The Kirsty Gallagher Podcast. Each week, I will bring you a short meditation or practice to set you up for the week ahead. You can revisit this meditation as many times as you like.This week, we move from the first quarter moon in Taurus into the Leo full moon - a beautiful invitation to lay deep, steady roots, and at the same time allow ourselves to rise, open, and shine. We also move through Imbolc at the end of the week, the cross-quarter festival that marks the first gentle shift from winter towards spring. A time when the seeds of life begin to stir beneath the soil… and within us. It's a moment for quiet preparation, for listening inwardly, and for sensing what is ready to emerge.So in today's meditation, we'll be rooting deeply into the Earth for support and stability, while also lifting into the heart - allowing your inner light to rise, expand, and gently shine as you prepare for the season ahead.. ❤️Crystal for this meditation: Moonstone, to help you connect with your intuition, support emotional balance, and gently guide new beginnings as you root, rise, and begin to shine.Imbolc Ritual Pack: 3 guided meditations and supporting journal prompts, journeying with the Goddess, Brigid: https://www.kirstygallagher.com/offers/uvaWBu4K/checkout

Season 37, Episode 1 of 4This is the first episode in Foul Play's four-part investigation into Victorian England's most notorious family murder and the case that birthed modern detective fiction.Elizabeth Gough checked Francis Saville Kent's cot at five in the morning on June 30, 1860. The blankets were gone. The three-year-old was gone. And somewhere in Road Hill House, someone who knew exactly what had happened was waiting for the search to begin—On the last night of June 1860, three-year-old Francis Saville Kent was lifted from his nursery bed in the family's Wiltshire mansion. Hours later, a servant discovered his small body in the outdoor privy, his throat cut nearly to the spine.The killer came from inside the house. That much was immediately certain. But who among the nine people sleeping at Road Hill House that night would murder a child? And why?This episode traces the fractured Kent family—a household divided between a tyrannical father's first marriage and second, where teenage Constance and her brother William existed as ghosts in their own home while their half-brother Francis received everything they'd been denied. We witness the horror of discovery morning, the bungled local investigation, and the arrival of Detective Inspector Jonathan "Jack" Whicher from Scotland Yard—a working-class detective about to walk into a class warfare trap that would destroy him.Some walls don't protect families. They hide what families are capable of doing to themselves.Key Case DetailsVictim: Francis Saville Kent, age 3 years and 10 months, murdered June 29-30, 1860Location: Road Hill House, village of Road (now Rode), Wiltshire, EnglandCrime: The boy was taken from his nursery bed between midnight and five in the morning, carried through the dark house, and murdered in the outdoor privy. His throat was slashed from ear to ear with a razor or knife, cutting nearly to the spine. His body was stuffed into the privy vault and hidden among waste.Initial Investigation: Local police focused on servants and outsiders, refusing to suspect the respectable Kent family. Critical evidence—including a bloodstained nightgown belonging to sixteen-year-old half-sister Constance Kent—was destroyed by her father with police cooperation. The inquest returned "willful murder by person or persons unknown."Scotland Yard Intervention: Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher arrived July 16, 1860, and within five days identified Constance Kent as his primary suspect—the first time in English history a young lady from a respectable family faced formal murder charges.Section 4: The Victim - Francis Saville KentFrancis Saville Kent deserves to be remembered as more than a murder victim. He was three years and ten months old—dark-haired, curious, his father's favorite child. He collected smooth stones from the garden and named them after colors. He asked endless questions about where stars came from and why dogs didn't talk. He had a stuffed rabbit he couldn't sleep without and an imaginary pack of dogs that followed him everywhere.He was learning to count but always skipped the number nine. He negotiated extra bedtime stories with remarkable persistence for a toddler. He called his half-sister Constance "Tannie" because he couldn't pronounce her name.He was three years old. Someone murdered him anyway.Section 5: Victorian True Crime ContextVictorian England in 1860 was obsessed with respectability. Gas lamps flickered in drawing rooms across the countryside while servants moved silently through service corridors. Behind heavy curtains and locked doors, families performed daily rituals of propriety—morning prayers, afternoon tea, church attendance every Sunday.The outside world saw polished brass door knockers and manicured gardens. Inside, secrets festered.The Road Hill House case shattered Victorian assumptions about where crime originated. Respectable families didn't produce murderers. Young ladies of good breeding didn't commit violence. Working-class detectives couldn't accuse gentlemen's daughters.These assumptions would destroy Detective Inspector Whicher's career—and let a killer walk free for five more years.Section 6: Historical Context & SourcesThe Road Hill House Murder became Victorian England's most notorious domestic crime and directly inspired the birth of detective fiction. Wilkie Collins used case details when writing The Moonstone (1868), widely considered the first modern detective novel. Charles Dickens followed the investigation closely and incorporated elements into his final, unfinished novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood.Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher's methods—systematic crime scene analysis, methodical witness interviews, evidence-based deduction regardless of social class—represented revolutionary policing. His destruction by class prejudice exposed how Victorian justice protected the respectable while prosecuting the poor.Primary Source: Kate Summerscale's The Suspicions of Mr Whicher (2008) provides the most comprehensive modern account, drawing on original trial transcripts, contemporary newspaper coverage, and National Archives documents.Content Advisory: This episode contains clinical description of violence against a child, consistent with documented historical records.Section 6A: Resources & Further ReadingThe Suspicions of Mr Whicher by Kate Summerscale (2008) - Definitive modern account of the caseCruelly Murdered by Bernard Taylor (1979) - Alternative analysis exploring brother William's potential involvementThe Moonstone by Wilkie Collins (1868) - Detective fiction directly inspired by the Road Hill House investigationThe National Archives (UK) maintains original trial transcripts and investigation documents from 1860-1865Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this 2022 discussion, editor and writer James Aquilone joined Word Balloon to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kolchak: The Night Stalker — the cult-classic TV franchise that helped define the modern supernatural investigator genre. Aquilone talked about the enduring influence of Darren McGavin's Carl Kolchak, from The Night Stalker's 1972 TV movie origins through its single-season series and lasting impact on shows like The X-Files.The conversation also covered Aquilone's work curating and editing the Moonstone Books graphic novel anthology, a Kickstarter-backed project that united top writers and artists to tell new Kolchak stories spanning five decades of the character's career — from classic newspaper-era mysteries to modern paranormal cases. He discussed collaborating with Moonstone's long-time Kolchak publisher, coordinating contributions from creators across genres, and ensuring the stories captured the tone and noir-horror style of the original show. Aquilone reflected on Kolchak's place in pop culture history, the challenge of blending nostalgia with fresh storytelling, and how the 50th anniversary served as both a tribute to Jeff Rice's original creation and a reintroduction of the Night Stalker to new generations of fans.
