Podcasts about Moors

Actor and musician Jena Malone joins Sing For Science to discuss “Set Your Sorrows Down” from her album Flowers for Men, a deeply personal record exploring identity, desire, transformation, and non-monogamy. The song's central question — “Who am I to become now?” — opens a conversation about inherited relationship scripts and what it means to “take the society out of you.” Joining Jena is Chapman University psychologist and Kinsey Institute Research Fellow Dr. Amy Moors, whose work examines consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, stigma, jealousy, compersion, and the relationship structures that exist outside conventional monogamy. Together they explore why non-monogamy remains so stigmatized despite being far more common than many people assume, how art can make hidden experiences visible, and why studying love scientifically can help dismantle shame.

Mon. June 8th/26 Join Me LIVE tonight from 6pm-8pm EST on The Angel Rock With Lorilei Potvin, as I welcome back Special Guest, Brad Burkholder. Brad Burkholder is a 71 poet, author and retired English professor, began seeing a trance channel in 1996 because of a problematic relationship. The channelled spirit, Ramoth, explained that he had been in painful relationships with this woman in at least two past lives when she had been Fanny Brawne and Maud Gonne, and he had been her poet suitors. The spirit brought together the channel, three other clients and Brad. They all had prominent past lives that had intersected many times in history--the American Civil War, William Wallace's insurrection, the Norman invasion, Roland's battle with the Moors, Camelot, the time of Jesus, and the Trojan War. Together with Brad, they learned that they were one of twelve such groups, apparently preparing the way for a new age. They were tasked with combatting the Gray aliens in April 2000, with visiting southern England together later that year and with combatting Satanists, also that year. Afterward, they ceased to function as a group but still remain friends. Brad delayed writing this book until after his retirement for fear of losing his career and retirement income.

Hear about travel to Jerez de la Frontera and the province of Cádiz in Spain as the Amateur Traveler talks about a recent press trip to the 2026 Culinary Capital of Spain. This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. This episode is based on a recent press trip to Cádiz and Jerez, with guest Kristen Henning from Travel Past 50 joining Chris to talk about why travelers should consider this corner of Andalusia. Why Visit Cádiz Province and Jerez? The focus of the trip was Jerez de la Frontera, recently named Spain's Culinary Capital for 2026. But as Chris and Kristen discovered, Jerez is not just about food. It is also about sherry, Andalusian horses, Carthusian monks, flamenco, history, and easy access to the beaches and ports of Cádiz Province. Kristen describes Jerez as best known for sherry wine production, but says there is far more to the region than she expected. Travelers will find horses, especially the Andalusian horse, a deep history stretching from Roman times to the Moors, connections to Columbus and Magellan, flamenco, beaches, golf, and a strong food culture. Chris starts by adding context for Cádiz, the oldest city in Spain, founded by the Phoenicians around 1100 BC. Cádiz later became Carthaginian, Roman, Visigothic, Moorish, and, after the Reconquest, Spanish. Its maritime history made it one of Spain's most important ports, especially once trade with the New World shifted from Seville to Cádiz. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/jerez-spain/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode we talk about the Moors from Age of Crusades.Enjoy!

Friends of the Rosary,Today, May 6, the Church honors St. Peter Nolasco (1182-1258), born in France but later settled in Barcelona, Spain. After taking part in the Crusades against the Albigensians, he, together with St. Raymond of Penafort and James I, King of Aragon, founded the Order of Our Lady of Mercy (Mercedarians), devoted to ransoming Christian prisoners held by the Moors. He did so at the request of the Blessed Mary, who appeared to him in 1228.Around 1,300 Christians would regain their liberty. Peter Nolasco died with these words from Psalm 110 on his lips: "The Lord has sent redemption to His people."Also, today we remember a miracle at the end of the first century, mentioned by St. Jerome. St. John the Apostle was taken to Rome under the Emperor Domitian and convicted of proclaiming Christ.Considered a rebellious old man, he was sentenced by a pagan tribunal to an ignominious and cruel death. A huge cauldron of boiling oil was prepared in front of the Latin Gate in Rome, in which he would be plunged.The executioners seized the old man and threw him into the boiling oil. But suddenly the oil lost all its heat, and by this miracle, St. John came out safe, even feeling that his youthful years were restored to him.A church was built near the Latin Gate. Since then, we have observed the tradition of St. John before the Latin Gate.After the attempted torture, an imperial decree banished John to the rugged Isle of Patmos, where God revealed to him the future of the Church to the end of time in the Book of the Apocalypse.Alleluia! Christ is Risen!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Hey everyone, welcome back to Spanish Loops! We are Jorge and Fran. Today… we're taking you straight to the south of Spain, where history, culture, and flavor come together in a glass.We're talking about Sherry. Or as we say in Spain… Jerez.Now here's the first twist; “Sherry” isn't even a Spanish word. It's actually an English adaptation of Jerez, the city where it all began. Over centuries, traders (especially the British) couldn't quite pronounce Xérès or Jerez, so “Sherry” stuck… andwent global.But this isn't just wine. This is history in liquid form.We're going back over 3,000 years, when the Phoenicians first brought vines to this land around Cádiz. Then came the Romans, the Moors, and later the Christian kingdoms,each leaving their mark on what would become one of the oldest wines in the world. And here'swhere things get really interesting…The massive production? That explosion of popularity? You can thank international trade, especially with England. By the Middle Ages, Sherry was already being exported in huge quantities, becoming a favorite across Europe and turning Jerez into a wine powerhouse.Now let's talk grapes, because not all wines are created equal.Sherry is mainly made from three types:Palomino — the backbone of most dry Sherries.Pedro Ximénez — rich, sweet, almost syrup-like.Moscatel — aromatic and naturally sweet.And the result? A universe of styles.From the light and salty Fino and Manzanilla, to the deeper, nuttier Amontillado and Oloroso, all the way to those dark, dessert-style wines made from sun-dried grape.What makes it unique? A magical process called flor, (flower), a layer of yeast that transforms the wine as it ages, and the famous solera system, blending generations of wine into one consistent flavor.So today, we're not just drinking Sherry…We're tasting centuries of conquest, trade, culture and identity.Stay with us. This story gets even better.

Hey — let's talk Gothic. If you loved the Wuthering Heights episode but aren't sure what “Gothic” means, here's a friendly, no‑pressure rundown: it's a literary vibe that exploded in the late 1700s and early 1800s (part of Romanticism) and stuck around because people couldn't get enough of spooky mystery, big feelings, and weird houses. At its core Gothic mixes suspense and the supernatural with secrets from the past: ghosts (or things that feel like ghosts), hidden diaries or cursed heirlooms, murmured scandals, and the sense that history is still very much alive — and maybe angry. Stories often leave the door open between a rational explanation and the uncanny, so you're always wondering what's real. The setting matters: remote, isolated places—windy moors, stormy cliffs, spooky woods, and usually a grand but slightly crumbling manor. That atmosphere of beauty plus decay is basically Gothic's aesthetic fingerprint. Protagonists are frequently women, which made these books especially thrilling for female readers back when options for adventurous stories were limited. Other common threads: intense emotion over reason, troubled or doomed romances, the ever‑present shadow of death, and objects that carry memory or menace. Short stories work great as an intro (hello, Poe), and novellas are perfect if you want a quick, delicious chill. Gothic isn't one thing — it splinters into cool subgenres. Southern Gothic, for example, folds in religious hypocrisy, the legacy of violence, and heavy landscape feeling. Contemporary takes like Mexican Gothic (Silvia Moreno‑Garcia) remix classic Gothic tropes—isolated mansions, family secrets—with new cultures, histories, and anxieties. Other great touchstones: Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Rebecca, The Turn of the Screw (Bly Manor), Shirley Jackson's Hill House, Daphne du Maurier, Edgar Allan Poe, and even films like Crimson Peak that lean into the look and mood. Gothic also shows up in real cultural practices and local histories: think of rituals that try to heal a place's memory or reckon with past violence. Those real world echoes are part of what keeps the genre alive and relevant — it's not just spooky houses, it's how communities remember and reckon with what happened there. If you want to dive in, try a Poe short story, a classic like Jane Eyre, or a modern pick like Mexican Gothic or a T. Kingfisher novella. And hey — if you've got favorites, tell us. I want to know what weird, moody books give you chills.

Tuesday of the Second Week of Easter Saint of the Day: St. Peter Gonzales, 1190-1246; born in Spain, he entered the Dominicans and became chaplain and confessor of King St. Ferdinand of Castile; he preached a campaign against the Moors, and then cared for the captured Muslims; he also cared for sailors, who dubbed him Thelmo, after St. Elmo Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 4/14/26 Gospel: John 3:7b-15

Full Text of Readings Tuesday of the Second Week of Easter Lectionary: 268 The Saint of the day is Blessed Peter Gonzalez Blessed Peter Gonzalez's Story Saint Paul had a conversion experience on the road to Damascus. Many years later, the same proved true for Peter Gonzalez, who triumphantly rode his horse into the Spanish city of Astorga in the 13th century to take up an important post at the cathedral. The animal stumbled and fell, leaving Peter in the mud and onlookers amused. Humbled, Blessed Peter Gonzalez reevaluated his motivations—his bishop-uncle had secured the cathedral post for him—and started down a new path. He became a Dominican priest and proved to be a most effective preacher. He spent much of his time as court chaplain, and attempted to exert positive influence on the behavior of members of the court. After King Ferdinand III and his troops defeated the Moors at Cordoba, Peter was successful in restraining the soldiers from pillaging, and persuaded the king to treat the defeated Moors with compassion. After retiring from the court, Peter devoted the remainder of his life to preaching in northwest Spain. Having developed a special mission to Spanish and Portuguese seamen, he is considered their patron. Blessed Peter Gonzalez died in 1246 and was beatified in 1741. Reflection How often we have heard stories about some misfortune or disaster only to hear later on that it was now seen as a good thing. Not every “disaster” is truly bad in its consequences for the Lord can bring good out of what appears to be a misfortune. Such was the case for Blessed Peter. His being dumped in the mud by a falling horse turned out to be a good thing in his life.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

About This Episode: Bryn Kennedy returns to Stageworthy to talk about directing Riot King's production of The Moors by Jen Silverman — a darkly comic Victorian Gothic play about isolation, power, and the cost of giving up community. Bryn shares why this unsettling tale of spinster sisters, a mysterious governess, a mastiff dog, and a moorhen feels urgently relevant in our age of individualism and loneliness. Beyond The Moors, Bryn and Phil dig into big questions facing Canadian theatre: How do we reach audiences who aren't already theatre people? Why do we struggle to communicate story in our marketing? And what can we learn from Hollywood, fringe festivals, and even church about building community and inviting people in? Bryn also reflects on her work as a director, actor, producer, and marketer — and what she learned about the next generation of theatre-makers while managing Musical Stage Company's One Song Glory program. This episode explores: Why The Moors speaks to our culture of isolation and individualism The magic of the BMO Incubator Space at the Theatre Centre What Riot King gets right about indie theatre community Why we need to stop assuming everyone knows the classics What Bryn learned from working with fearless theatre kids And much more!

In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas sits down with Tim Barber, Yorkshire Blue Badge guide and founder of Real Yorkshire Tours, for an in-depth traveler's guide to one of England's most captivating and varied regions. Tim brings over a decade of guiding experience and a background in geography, geology, and marketing to the conversation, explaining why Yorkshire — at 6,000 square miles — deserves far more than a single day stopover between London and Edinburgh. The pair cover everything from the dramatic differences between the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors, to the best way to experience York Minster, to why the Yorkshire Wolds is the region's best-kept secret. Tim also unpacks his hugely popular All Creatures Great and Small filming locations tour, explains what the Blue Badge qualification actually means for travelers, shares his personal recommendations for how many days to spend and where to stay, and offers practical advice for Americans planning their first Yorkshire adventure — including the one language misunderstanding that left him without his lunch.

Always look for it when booking a guide. Yorkshire is England's largest region at 6,000 square miles, with more landscape variety than almost anywhere else in the country — from wild Pennine moorland and rolling Dales to a hundred miles of coastline and the little-known chalk uplands of the Yorkshire Wolds. If you only have one day in the countryside, Tim recommends the Yorkshire Dales over the North York Moors — not because the Moors aren't spectacular, but because the Dales offer slightly more varied scenery and you'll still get a taste of moorland driving over the tops. York Minster is the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe and contains 65% of all medieval stained glass in England — saved during the Civil War by a Yorkshireman who threatened his troops with death if they touched it. The All Creatures Great and Small new series has overtaken Downton Abbey in US viewing figures on PBS Masterpiece — and Tim's filming locations tour takes in Grassington (Darrowby), Helen's Farm, the church where James and Helen married, and more. The Yorkshire Wolds — a chalk upland area east of York — is Tim's top hidden gem recommendation: barely known even to locals, with picture-postcard villages, chalk streams, and stunning dry valleys almost entirely free of tourists. Americans typically underestimate how much time they need in Yorkshire. Tim's ideal recommendation is five days, covering York, the Yorkshire Dales, the North York Moors and coast, Fountains Abbey, and a stately home. York makes the best base for a Yorkshire visit, with easy rail and road access to almost every corner of the region — though Harrogate is a great alternative for those focused on the Dales and All Creatures tours. Haworth and the Brontë Parsonage offer a very different experience from the open Dales — a darkened millstone grit industrial village where Tim drives clients up onto the moorland tops so they can feel the wind and understand where Wuthering Heights came from. Jonathan is personally planning a two-to-three day Yorkshire visit after completing his Hadrian's Wall walk this summer, and Tim recommends Helmsley, Rievaulx Abbey, and Whitby as excellent options accessible by public transport from York. Soundbites "I won a big pitch and I just couldn't get excited by it. I came home on Friday and said, I think I'm done. She said, well, you're 48, you can't retire yet — we'd better find you a job then." — Tim on the moment he decided to leave marketing. "I take people to absolutely beautiful places, we have a traditional lunch in a country pub, they drop off at the end of the day, I get lots of thanks and a tip, I drive home and pinch myself and think — have I really been at work?" — Tim on loving his second career. "She just sort of said, I just can't believe it. It's more beautiful than I ever thought it would be. To see a reaction like that, where the landscape had created that kind of emotion — that's a pretty special thing." — Tim on a lifelong James Herriot fan finally seeing the Dales. "The history of York is the history of England. You can actually do it all on foot. You don't have to jump on trains or tubes. A lot of the stuff is within the city walls." — Tim on what makes York so extraordinary. "65 % of all the medieval stained glass in England is in York Minster. Because during the Reformation, a Yorkshireman told his parliamentary troops: you do not touch York Minster, under pain of death." — Tim on how Yorkshire saved its own history. "You'd be driving down little tiny country lanes in the Dales that are just difficult to pass on. You just couldn't get a 55-seat coach down them." — Tim on why the All Creatures filming locations can only be done in a small vehicle. "I knew there was a Yorkshire Terrier and I'd heard of a Yorkshire Pudding — but I can't believe what you've got to offer here." — a typical American tour operator reaction on first seeing the region, as recounted by Tim. "Yorkshire men have more call centres here than anywhere else in England because people want to talk to somebody with a trustworthy voice who tells them how it is and is honest and straightforward." — Tim on the Yorkshire character. "She said she'd just have chips — so I booked a restaurant that did pub grub. And about quarter to twelve she said, could we pull up at this garage? She came out with a bag of crisps. And I suddenly realised I wasn't going to get any lunch." — Tim on the chips vs crisps language trap.

Alpecin-Premier Tech heeft zijn laatste Vlaamse voorjaarsklassieker beet. Dankzij Philipsen en Van der Poel pakt de ploeg in vijf jaar tijd alle grote voorjaarskoersen. Welke doelen blijven nog over? De broers Roodhooft laten in hun kaarten kijken. In de Formule 1 denkt Verstappen opnieuw aan stoppen: nu voor echt? Ex-F1-rijder Robert Doornbos analyseert. En bijna lukte het de beloftevolle Fleur Moors bij om Wiebes te vloeren, wat heeft ze in haar mars? Haar ontdekker Sven Nys schat haar in.

In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas is joined by Mia Ferullo, Digital Engagement Officer, and Sam, Programme Officer at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, Yorkshire — and co-hosts of the museum's own acclaimed podcast, Behind the Glass: A Parsonage Podcast. Together they explore what makes the Parsonage one of Britain's most atmospheric and emotionally resonant literary destinations, from the world's largest collection of Brontë artefacts to the wild moorland that inspired the novels themselves. The conversation spans the remarkable story of three sisters who published against the odds under male pseudonyms, the often-overlooked legacy of Anne Brontë and patriarch Patrick Brontë, the concept and standout episodes of Behind the Glass, and the swirling cultural moment around Emerald Fennell's new big-screen adaptation of Wuthering Heights starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. Mia and Sam also share practical advice for American Anglophiles planning their first visit to Haworth, including the best time of year to go and how to get there. Links Brontë Parsonage Museum — bronte.org.uk Behind the Glass: A Parsonage Podcast Keighley and Worth Valley Railway — kwvr.co.uk Visit Yorkshire — visityorkshire.com Friends of Anglotopia Takeaways The Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth is home to the world's largest collection of Brontë artefacts, including handwritten manuscripts, first editions, writing desks, and extraordinary miniature books the sisters made as children. Almost everything on display in the Parsonage is genuine Brontë furniture and objects — not set dressing — making it one of the most authentically preserved literary homes in Britain. The Brontë sisters published their novels under male pseudonyms not just for anonymity, but to avoid the prejudice that would have greeted female authors — and the books were still considered shocking and coarse when they appeared. Anne Brontë is widely regarded as the most overlooked of the three sisters, lacking the pop culture adaptations and name recognition that Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights have accumulated over generations. Patrick Brontë, often cast as a footnote or even a villain in the family story, played a significant role in his daughters' development — educating them in the classics and sparking their imaginative lives by bringing home a set of toy soldiers for Branwell. Behind the Glass: A Parsonage Podcast invites guests to choose a single object from the collection as a jumping-off point, allowing deep dives into rarely seen items — including Charlotte's tea cosy and its fascinating gendered history. Emerald Fennell's new Wuthering Heights film has driven a surge of visitors to the museum, with people noting in the visitor book that the film brought them to Haworth for the first time. Controversy around Wuthering Heights is nothing new — the original 1847 novel was condemned as vulgar and depraved by contemporary reviewers, making modern critical debate very much in keeping with Emily Brontë's legacy. A new television adaptation of Jane Eyre has been announced, which the museum is already looking ahead to as potentially another major cultural moment. August is the best month to visit Haworth when the heather is in full purple bloom on the moors, though autumn's fog and mist give the village an irresistibly gothic atmosphere perfect for Brontë fans. Soundbites "When you go up behind the Parsonage, you've got the moorlands. There's the ruin of Top Withens up there, supposed to be the influence for Wuthering Heights. You feel like you can really step into the pages of the book." — Sam on Haworth's atmospheric setting. "There are moments where you think, gosh, this all started here where I work, and I'm there every day. They actually wrote Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights in this room, on this writing desk." — Mia on the weight of working at the Parsonage. "The writing desks contain all the same materials the Brontës left in them. Everything's been preserved exactly as it was when they died." — Mia on her favourite objects in the collection. "It's believed that Emily died on the sofa. And I think that's something people find very moving — especially when they've come from abroad, because Haworth isn't easy to get to even if you live in the UK." — Sam on emotional moments with visitors. "They had to use pseudonyms so nobody would know who they were, and there'd be no prejudice against them being women writers. And still the books were called coarse and shocking — people thought women shouldn't even be reading them." — Mia on the Brontës publishing against the odds. "I think Anne definitely gets overlooked. Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights have very much become part of pop culture — there are more movies, more adaptations, pop songs written about them. Anne doesn't get that same exposure." — Sam on the most neglected Brontë sister. "You can almost compare the Brontës to Shakespeare — how his work is reinterpreted in different settings and time periods. That's why the Brontës' work is so timeless. You can draw on certain elements and themes and keep it fresh." — Sam on why new adaptations keep coming. "We never really want to tell visitors what to think. We want people to read the books and make their own minds up." — Mia on the museum's approach to literary interpretation. "I don't think we expected it to be quite as big as it was. Seeing all the money that went into the premieres and the marketing — we've just been wanting to grab a bit of everything to remember it, because how often does something like this come along?" — Sam on the scale of the Wuthering Heights film moment. "It just came from this little house in this little village in Yorkshire." — Sam on the extraordinary global legacy of the Brontë Parsonage.

Mon. March 9th/26 Join Me Tonight LIVE @6:10pm-8pm EST, as I welcome back LIVE, returning Special Guest Brad Burkholder. Brad Burkholder is a 71 poet, author and retired English professor, began seeing a trance channel in 1996 because of a problematic relationship. The channelled spirit, Ramoth, explained that he had been in painful relationships with this woman in at least two past lives when she had been Fanny Brawne and Maud Gonne, and he had been her poet suitors. The spirit brought together the channel, three other clients and Brad. They all had prominent past lives that had intersected many times in history--the American Civil War, William Wallace's insurrection, the Norman invasion, Roland's battle with the Moors, Camelot, the time of Jesus, and the Trojan War. Together with Brad, they learned that they were one of twelve such groups, apparently preparing the way for a new age. They were tasked with combatting the Gray aliens in April 2000, with visiting southern England together later that year and with combatting Satanists, also that year. Afterward, they ceased to function as a group but still remain friends. Brad delayed writing this book until after his retirement for fear of losing his career and retirement income.

Wednesday of the Third Week of Lent Saint of the Day: St. Eulogius of Cordoba; Ninth Century Martyred priest of Cordoba, Spain, slain by the Moors, after his arrest in 850; Eulogius was a noted scholar of Scripture he wrote Exhortation to Martyrdom for two young virgin martyrs, Flora and Mary, who were beheaded; released, Eulogius was named archbishop of Cordoba or Toledo; before being consecrated, he aided Leocritia, a young Moorish woman who had converted to Christianity; they were caught and beheaded in 859 A.D.

Iran has a new Supreme Leader, the hard-line cleric, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has succeeded his father who was killed on the first day of the US-Israeli war against Iran. This morning, Iran's woman's football team are facing building pressure as they prepare to leave Australia's Gold Coast after being eliminated from the Asian Cup on Sunday. Fears for their safety has been growing since they failed to sing the national anthem ahead of their first match against South Korea last week. The decision prompted fierce criticism within Iran and in subsequent matches the players sung, or at least mouthed, the anthem's words. Katy Watson, the BBC's Sydney correspondent, is on the Gold Coast where the tournament is being held and talks to Nuala McGovern about what's been happening. There has been a surge of understanding about the menopause and we are better informed on many aspects. However three quarters of women surveyed for a YouGov poll do not know that a new mental illness can be triggered by the hormonal changes associated with the menopause. Those figures come from a YouGov poll commissioned by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The College wants to raise awareness about mental health and menopause and the implications for clinical practice. To tell us more about why this was needed now, Nuala is joined by Dr Lade Smith, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Do you have a "hassler" in your life? If so, they could be making you age faster. That's according to new research funded by the US National Institute of Aging. A third of all respondents in the study said they had at least one hassler in their life - that is someone who is creating problems and making your life harder. The study also shows that the impact on your health is worse if they are a family member. Psychotherapist and writer Lucy Cavendish explains how to deal with that difficult person in your life.The singer/songwriter Katherine Priddy played her first gig at the O2 and has since performed at the BBC Proms, and at festivals such as Glastonbury, Green Man and Cambridge Folk, where she was awarded the Christian Raphael Prize for best emerging artist. Katherine tells Nuala about her newly released third album, These Frightening Machines, and performs her track Madeline. Why do some women who commit crimes come to be seen as a definition of evil? The Moors murderer Myra Hindley became an enduring symbol of female wickedness but she is not the only one. Professor Joanna Bourke has written a new book, Five Evil Women. It looks at the fascination with these figures and finds it often reveals as much about society as it does about the crimes themselves. Joanna tells Nuala why she chose these five women and they're also joined by BBC Radio 4 New Generation Thinker, criminologist Professor Stephanie Brown.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Andrea Kidd

Is Wuthering Heights “the greatest love story of all time?” Or is it a tale of hate, violence, and vengeance? Or maybe a gothic satire? This hour we look at Emily Brontë’s novel and how it was received when it was published in 1847. Plus, a look at the highest-grossing movie of the year so far — Emerald Fennell’s loosely adapted “Wuthering Heights” — and how it stacks up against other retellings.

Controversially starring Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff and Margot Robbie as Catherine, it's already dividing the critics, so where does Mark stand? The lascivious literary adaptation's director is our guest this week. She joins Simon to talk about the story's sensuality, toxicity, and how much glaring, breathing, and storm-lashed longing is too much glaring, breathing, and storm-lashed longing?

What if everything you were taught about history is not just incomplete but inverted? What if America is not the New World but the Old World? What if the Mississippi River is the real Nile and the Grand Canyon is the true Giza Plateau? What if Utah is Judah, the Great Salt Lake is the Dead Sea, and the Exodus did not happen in the Middle East but right here, on American soil? Tonight we enter territory that will challenge everything you think you know about where you live, who built the world around you, and why the truth has been buried. Taylor Durden, known online as Tao Lore, has spent years piecing together what he calls the hidden history. His research spans Tartaria, a worldwide civilization that mainstream historians barely acknowledge, to quantum biology, to the claim that at least five major resets have erased previous societies from memory, with a thousand years injected into the timeline to cover the deception. He connects the Moors, the A00 haplogroup, and the true builders of the magnificent architecture we see across the world. He asks why Ellis Island looks like a Moorish palace and why Middle Eastern city names are scattered across the United States. But Taylor goes further. He says the human body is the first quantum computer. He says parasites are inherited, feeding on fear and pride across generations. He says hospital birth severs us from past life memories and that the orphan trains of the 1800s were not charity but repopulation efforts after a reset wiped out the previous inhabitants. He speaks of clones, of NPCs walking among us without souls, of Archons who architect this dream reality we mistake for waking life. This is not comfortable territory. This is the deep end. And tonight, we are diving in.

That is, of course, Stockton's Wing's tune Over the Moors, which most of you will probably know better as the song that was the Liveline theme tune up until last autumn. It adorned the time of Marian Finucane on that show and the twenty-six-year tenure of the man sitting in front of me, Joe Duffy. Now, exactly a day over seven months since his last Liveline, Joe is settling into a much freer lifestyle without the demands of a daily radio show. Joe Duffy joined Pat Kenny on the show to discuss his first seven months of retirement since leaving Liveline.

Wednesday after Epiphany Optional Memorial of St. Raymond of Penafort, 1175-1275; born in Spain, a relative of the king of Aragon; co-founded the Order of Our Lady of Ransom, dedicated to saving poor Christians captured by the Moors; went with King James to Majorca; he ordered King James to cease his scandalous behavior, but he did not; Raymond left Majorca by spreading his cloak upon the water, tying up one corner of it to a stick for a sail, standing on the cloak and sailing for six hours to Barcelona; King James repented; Raymond was 100 years old at his death Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 1/7/26 Gospel: Mark 6:45-52

Full Text of Readings The Saint of the day is Saint Raymond of Peñafort Saint Raymond of Peñafort's Story Since Saint Raymond of Peñafort lived into his hundredth year, he had a chance to do many things. As a member of the Spanish nobility, he had the resources and the education to get a good start in life. By the time he was 20, he was teaching philosophy. In his early 30s he earned a doctorate in both canon and civil law. At 41 he became a Dominican. Pope Gregory IX called him to Rome to work for him and to be his confessor. One of the things the pope asked him to do was to gather together all the decrees of popes and councils that had been made in 80 years since a similar collection by Gratian. Raymond compiled five books called the Decretals. They were looked upon as one of the best organized collections of Church law until the 1917 codification of canon law. Earlier, Saint Raymond of Peñafort had written for confessors a book of cases. It was called Summa de Casibus Poenitentiae. More than simply a list of sins and penances, it discussed pertinent doctrines and laws of the Church that pertained to the problem or case brought to the confessor. At the age of 60, Raymond was appointed archbishop of Tarragona, the capital of Aragon. He didn't like the honor at all and ended up getting sick and resigning in two years. He didn't get to enjoy his peace long, however, because when he was 63 he was elected by his fellow Dominicans to be the head of the whole Order, the successor of Saint Dominic. Raymond worked hard, visited on foot all the Dominicans, reorganized their constitutions and managed to put through a provision that a master general be allowed to resign. When the new constitutions were accepted, Raymond, then 65, resigned. He still had 35 years to oppose heresy and work for the conversion of the Moors in Spain. He convinced Saint Thomas Aquinas to write his work Against the Gentiles. In his 100th year, the Lord let Raymond retire. Reflection Raymond was a lawyer, a canonist. Legalism can suck the life out of genuine religion if it becomes too great a preoccupation with the letter of the law to the neglect of the spirit and purpose of the law. The law can become an end in itself, so that the value the law was intended to promote is overlooked. But we must guard against going to the opposite extreme and seeing law as useless or something to be lightly regarded. Laws ideally state those things that are for the best interests of everyone and make sure the rights of all are safeguarded. From Raymond, we can learn a respect for law as a means of serving the common good.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Saturday of the Third Week of Advent Saint of the Day: St. Dominic of Silos, 1000-1073; born in Navarre, Spain; when, as Benedictine abbot, he refused to surrender lands to the crown, he was exiled; he went to King Ferdinand I of Castile and Leon, who made him abbot of St. Sebastian Abbey at Silos, now called St. Dominic’s; one of the most beloved saints in Spain, Dominic also rescued Christian slaves from the Moors; the mother of St. Dominic of Guzman--founder of the Order of Preachers--visited Dominic's shrine, begging for a child; he was also noted for miracles of healing Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 12/20/25 Gospel: Luke 1:26-38

Welcome to Paranormal Spectrum, where we illuminate the enigmatic corners of the supernatural world. I'm your host, Barnaby Jones, and today we have a very special guest joining us:Originally from Bristol, David spent three years at Mountview Theatre School in London, before arriving in Paignton, after graduating in 1987, to perform in a Summer Season at the Palace Avenue Theatre.Having fallen in love with the wilds of Dartmoor, and finding that the area had plenty to arouse his interest in paranormal activity, he stayed in Torbay, and has immersed himself in all the myths & legends, and spooky stories that the area has to offer. He even set up his own paranormal investigation group, TIP (Torbay Investigators of the Paranormal) back in 1995, which holds regular meetings at Chelston Manor, in Torquay, and at The Red Lion in Broadclyst for the Exeter branch, TIP-X.During Covid, David left his Box Office Manager's job at the Princess Theatre, to set up his own tour guiding business, Moors & More Tours, to share his love of all things Dartmoor and the supernatural, with anyone who wishes to hire his services. Not only does it include Tours in an 8-seater vehicle, but last year he added a series of Ghost Walks to his repertoire around various Dartmoor towns, namely Ashburton, Bovey Tracey, Chagford, Okehampton Princetown and now Ivybridge , with more to be added soon. Whilst in Torbay, he has just relaunched the Brixham Ghost Walk.He is also available to give talks about his favourite subjects to clubs and groups.In his spare time, David can't stay away from the moors as he is an avid Letterboxer, as he finds this gives purpose to walking the moors. He is also happy if people wish to join his walks as he enjoys an audience to share his knowledge with, and he is particularly proud of his recent discovery of The Witches Triangle.As well as his column in the Torbay Weekly and The Moorlander, as The Storyteller, David can also be heard on a Thursday morning, featured on David Hammond's radio show on Riviera FM, telling tales in their South Devon Folklore segment.https://moorstoursdartmoor.co.uk/TIPFILES & TIP-X Files Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/29541431965/Click that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!

“There's a pyramid in the cow pasture”-In 1986, Niki Lopez lives with her family at 717 Bushwick Avenue, home to a secretive group called the Nuwaubian Nation in the heart of Brooklyn–alarmingly, in 1993, the whole community vanishes without a trace. Nearly ten years later, on May 8th, 2002, over 200 federal agents prepare to storm a seemingly “ancient Egyptian” compound in rural Putnam County, Georgia. Inside, nearly 200 families live under the control of Nuwaubian Nation leader, Dwight “Malachi” York. In order to get justice for all the victims before it's too late, it's up to Niki to escape, confront her past, and expose the truth behind one of the darkest cases in American history.Niki founded her organization “What's Your Elephant”, which aims to empower individuals from all walks of life to use the arts to tell their stories: https://whatsyourelephant.org/-Written, directed & edited by Matthew RiceResearched by Bianca Yzabelle TanVoiceover by William AkanaProduced by Alexandra Salois & Salim Sader-SourcesThe Nuwaubian Nation, How I Escaped My Cult: Freeform, 2025United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors, People Magazine Investigates: Cults: MMXVIII Discovery Communications LLC, 2018Nuwaubian Nation, FOX5 Eyewitness News, 1998Waco: The Inside Story, Frontline PBS, 2018Mysteries Behind Closed Doors: The Dr. Malachi Z.

THE STAPLETONS OF MERRIPIT HOUSE - I was miserable and, despite the company, I felt totally alone. The absence of Sherlock Holmes and a recent illness to Mariana was leaving me feeling very exposed. That isolation and the darkness of the Moors was driving me crazy.

Columbus's first trip to what would be called the Americas, in 1492, was a difficult one. Nobody thought he would actually get anywhere, since he had grossly underestimated the size of the globe, but the Spanish monarchs had some extra cash, since the war with the Moors was over, and thought they might as well fund the enterprise, because otherwise one of the other European countries was going to get across the Atlantic first, so they let him have some unneeded ships that were not in good shape (besides being much too small to carry the necessary supplies). He was supposed to find a route across the Atlantic to the Indies; he was supposed to claim any lands he found for Spain; he was supposed to establish colonies and manage them well; he was supposed to bring back lots of nifty stuff. Like gold. When he did arrive on land, there were humans there already, as we know, and they were wearing gold ornaments. So he captured some and demanded that they tell him where they had gotten the gold, but they didn't actually have much, so he enslaved them instead. After that, things got worse. So much worse that even the monarchs of Spain noticed how bad it was, and he was arrested for mismanagement and brutality, found guilty, and stripped of his offices. Michelle found an awesome biography and got immersed in Columbus's religious fanaticism, and Anne got immersed in the Europeans' obsession with water alternatives to the lost Silk Road. It's not a special episode, since we think of Columbus as essentially medieval, but it is a commemorative episode, for Indigenous People's Day.

Friends of the Rosary,Historically, today, September 25, is the commemoration of Our Lady of Ransom. The Blessed Virgin appeared in separate visions to St. Peter Nolasco, St. Raymond of Penafort, and James, King of Aragon, in 1218, asking them to found a religious order dedicated to freeing Christian captives from the barbarous Saracens, also known as Moors, who at the time held a significant part of Spain.On August 10, 1218, King James established the royal, military, and religious Order of our Lady of Ransom, first known as the Order of St. Eulalia, now known as the Mercedarian Order, with most of the members being knights. Many became heroes of charity who collected alms for the ransom of Christians, and often gave themselves up in exchange for Christian prisoners.This feast was extended to the whole Church by Innocent XII in the 17th century.Additionally, in England today, the Feast of Our Lady of Walsingham is observed. In 1061, the lady of the manor of Walsingham, Richeldis de Faverches, was instructed by a vision of the Virgin Mary to build in her village an exact replica of the house in Nazareth in which the Annunciation had taken place.The original house was destroyed by Henry VIII, but by 1897, the chapel had been reconstructed, and pilgrimage was restored for both Anglicans and Catholics.On March 29, 2020, England was rededicated as the “Dowry of Mary,” with Our Lady of Walsingham being the central Marian devotion around the rededication.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Charles Ross. He was born in East Germany, raised in the heart of Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, traveled through Africa, and now makes his home in Taiwan. That life journey has given him a perspective few can claim. It is the perspective of someone who notices what others overlook. Charles speaks of walking down streets in Taiwan and experiencing powerful deja vu. He sees train stations, cobbled alleys, Roman villages, even European architecture that simply should not be there. While most pass by without a second thought, he feels a memory that seems older than the place itself. It is as if the stones are speaking, and he happens to be listening. His research takes us across continents and across time. We will explore heraldry where Black royals appear in coats of arms, yet are later labeled as servants. We will ask why lions, towers, and crowns appear in families whose names remain common today. We will look at maps that once displayed Tartaria, a vast land now erased from mainstream history. We will study statues and crests that feature the double-headed eagle, a symbol carried by empires from Austria to Russia. Why does it appear everywhere, and what story does it tell? Charles also leads us into the world of technology and architecture. We will examine photographs of the great World Fairs, filled with palaces and domes that appeared and vanished within a season. We will discuss Tesla, the Baghdad battery, and energy systems that may have promised free power for humanity. We will consider pyramids in China that remain hidden from researchers, and the strange harmony between sacred geometry, human anatomy, and music itself. What emerges is not just a story about history, but about us. Who we are, where we come from, and why certain truths seem to be buried while others are celebrated. Tonight, Charles Ross joins us to bring forward those forgotten fragments, and to ask us to see with new eyes.
