Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are ringing in the New Year with a new podcast. This time they're celebrating the 85th anniversary of His Girl Friday. His Girl Friday is a screwball comedy directed by Howard Hawks. It is the second film adaptation of the play The Front Page. It opened in theaters on January 18, 1940. In the film, Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell), former star reporter of The Morning Post, arrives at the paper to tell her former editor and ex-husband Walter Burns (Cary Grant) she's engaged to marry her fiancé Bruce Baldwin (Ralph Bellamy). Walter asks Hildy to help stop the execution of a condemned man, Earl Williams (John Qualen), before she leaves. However, Walter's motives are less than noble, and the story is more trouble than previously expected. His Girl Friday is a seminal film in the screwball comedy genre, notable for its biting wit and rapid-fire, overlapping dialogue. In 1993, it was selected for the Library of Congress' National Film Registry, for films that are “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”  The film and the play it's based on are in the public domain. The entire movie can be watched in high definition on Wikipedia. Aaron talks about seeing His Girl Friday in college before he and Josh go over the movie's plot, performances, humor, and legacy. Aaron also recommends more Cary Grant movies to Josh and listeners. For more classic films, you can listen to Josh and Aaron's podcasts on Singin' in the Rain and A Hard Day's Night.  His Girl Friday is streaming on Tubi and Pluto TV

Face à des centaines de milliers de manifestants déterminés, la Première ministre au pouvoir depuis 1996, quasi sans interruption, a fini par quitter le pays. En France, La Croix raconte cette foule qui s'est « engouffrée dans les jardins du palais de la Première ministre, (…) saccageant meubles et objets, » « fébriles », laissant éclater à la fois « [leur] colère et [leur] révolte, mais aussi [leur] joie et [leur] victoire ». Une chute « spectaculaire, » souffle La Croix, d'autant, rappelle Le Temps en Suisse, que « quelques jours avant, le calme semblait revenu au Bangladesh » et qu' « hier encore, elle promettait de "supprimer" les manifestants "terroristes"  pendant que sa police tirait sur la foule ». Une fuite non sans conséquence pour l'IndeCar, comme le rappelle le Times, lorsque Sheikh Hasina a été reconduite, « le dirigeant mondial le plus satisfait de cette victoire était le Premier ministre indien, Narendra Modi ». La Première ministre était pour lui une partenaire régionale de choix « dans sa rivalité avec la Chine et son hostilité ouverte avec le Pakistan ». C'est peut-être en raison de ces liens que l'Inde a accepté d'offrir un refuge à la cheffe de gouvernement déchue. Le Times of India raconte que New Delhi « a dû agir rapidement » pour garantir sa sécurité, « en déployant deux avions Rafale » et en assurant « une liaison constante entre l'avion [de Sheikh Hasina] et les plus hauts responsables indiens, » avant d'organiser « une réunion de haut niveau avec les chefs des renseignements. » Et, analyse le Times britannique, « la décision d'accueillir Hasina (…) pourrait être le résultat d'un accord passé avec les militaires bangladais pour faciliter la route vers la transition ». Et maintenant ?L'armée bangladaise a pris le contrôle, temporairement dit-elle, du pays. Le Guardian pointe que « beaucoup espèrent que le Bangladesh ne tombera pas dans les mêmes travers que par le passé » là où le Times entrevoit des tractations entre l'Inde et les militaires bangladais pour « un nouveau gouvernement toujours favorable à New Delhi ». Illustration de l'adage selon lequel chacun voit midi à sa porte, le South China Morning Post quant à lui se réjouit : le départ de Sheikh Hasina « signifie que n'importe quel nouveau gouvernement pourrait être plus favorable à Pékin » que ce qu'espèrent l'Inde et les États-Unis. Aucune garantie toutefois : « bien que les militaires ont promis un gouvernement par intérim puis des élections », un analyste interrogé par le Morning Post rappelle que ces derniers « ont un long passif d'interférence dans la politique – rien ne garantit qu'ils vont quitter le pouvoir ». Kamala Harris en campagne express aux États-UnisUn peu plus de deux semaines après que Joe Biden a jeté l'éponge, la candidate démocrate reprend le flambeau à toute vitesse. Elle doit présenter son numéro deux aujourd'hui lors d'un meeting en Pennsylvanie avant, signale El Pais, « une intense tournée de cinq jours dans les sept principaux tats-clés ». Et ce chronomètre accéléré pourrait bien bénéficier à la vice-présidente, juge le New York Times. Car elle « cherche à profiter d'un élan, espérant passer outre l'examen minutieux et les débats politiques détaillés auxquels les candidats sont habituellement confrontés ». Qui plus est, cela force Donald Trump « à s'adapter à un rival très différent » et à tourner le dos à des mois de campagne basée sur « des attaques sans relâche » contre Joe Biden. Et puis il y a le nerf de la guerre : « le robinet des dons a été réactivé, pointe El Pais, et s'est transformé le mois dernier en jaillissement de plus de 300 millions de dollars ». Sans compter « les centaines de milliers de bénévoles qui se sont inscrits à la campagne : au total 370 000 nouvelles paires de mains ». L'ex-président semble avoir perdu son avantage – Kamala Harris ne cesse de monter dans les sondages –, alors le Washington Post s'interroge : peut-être « Donald Trump panique-t-il, car le passage de Biden à Harris n'aurait pas pu mieux se passer pour les démocrates » d'autant que les meetings du républicain, émaillés d'attaques contre ses ennemis même dans son propre camp, donnent l'image d'un candidat « qui ne semble pas déterminé à rester concentré et à fournir le travail nécessaire » pour l'emporter. Et le journal conclut non sans ironie : « Bravo pour votre choix, les Républicains ».

In the last twenty-five years, ghost hunting has entered something of a golden age, with all sorts of technology playing its part and filling up an investigators kit bag. Cameras, EMF metres, InfraRed thermometers and spirit boxes all help to carve a science out of a difficult premise, with differing levels of credibility. In the early 1800s, things were a little bit different. It was a simpler time. All you needed back then was a stiff drink, or maybe two, and a loaded revolver, because as we all know, if you want to catch a ghost, you need to shoot it first. All well and good, provided the ghost you shoot isn't just a man in his work overalls. SOURCES Old Bailey Proceedings Online (1804) Trial of FRANCIS SMITH (t18040111-79).

Lord Byrons memoarer brändes, men kvar finns över 3000 brev. Per Bergström skriver ett svar. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Min käre LB,Jag har länge försökt komma ifatt dig, men inser nu att det är försent. Jag sökte dig på åstranden i Cambridge, men förgäves, på tjurfäktningsarenan i Cadiz och blodstänkta fält i Waterloo, jag såg inte dig men väl ditt namn inristat vid Genèvesjöns strand precis som på Poseidontemplet i Sounion, jag lyfte på masker på karnevalen i Venedig och viftade undan fåglar i ett florentinskt menagerie. Måhända var det för att jag till skillnad från dig inte förmådde simma över Bosporen som jag inte ens i Grekland han ikapp.Nu beger jag mig mot Hucknall för att slutligen få möta dig. Ja, du läste rätt. Hucknall intill det Newstead Abbey du en gång lösgjorde dig ifrån. Det är där du slutligen vilar, även om ditt hjärta är kvar i Grekland och Missolonghi. Skilt från din lekamen, precis som Shelleys, efter att ni på stranden i Viareggio lyfte hans hjärta ur begravningsbålet för att överlämna det åt Mary.Du ska veta att hon kom att vårda det, i en låda omvirat av en dikt, ända till sin död. Och Grekland vårdar ännu ditt. Ja, Grekland blev verkligen befriat. En förhoppning som blev din död, men att du anslöt dig till dem hjälpte dem att ena sig i sin frihetskamp mot den överhet du föraktade, var den än förekom. Vi hade behövt dig här idag för att fortsatt blotta de maktgalna.Och i Grekland hyllas du som frihetshjälte. Jag har sett ditt namn på gator, torg och stadsdelar och du reser dig från socklar över mången stad.Vid Akropolis är det lätt att förstå den avsky du kände för Lord Elgin. Hur du fnös åt hans försvar över att Parthenonfriserna bort till avskydd nord bestörta röva. Den avsmak du kände för det engelska barbariet när du såg dem packas i hamnen i Pireus Kall är den själ, som ej på Hellas serMed älskarens känslor vid sin älsklings grav!(…)Vars smycken Albion förde bort på hav,När just dess skydd de kunnat bäst behöva!Och vad hade denne Elgin att sätta emot din penna, som var lika vass mot adelsmän, hovdiktare och gemena kritiker, som mot dina kollegor, där Wordsworth av allt som trist och folkligt är kokar ihop sin poesi, och Coleridges penna åt Morning Post ger aristokrati.Ja, jag minns hur du till slut vände dig mot självaste din bundsförvant John Murray. Ni två som var omöjliga att separera, du den liberale omvälvaren, han den mer konservative, och kanske första moderna, förläggaren som såg till att samla ihop dina sånger och ständigt lyckas förse världen med nya upplagor.Tänk att det var samma år som du höll ditt liberala jungfrutal i Parlamentet som Murray gav ut de första två sångerna av Junker Harolds pilgrimsfärd, 500 exemplar sålda på tre dagar, 11 upplagor de kommande tre åren. Som du skrev var det han som såg till att du vaknade en morgon, och fann att du var en berömd man.Jag måste att erkänna att jag under vår långa vänskap har haft svårt att inte gå vilse bland alla dessa historier. Så många myter, men bland dem också så många sanna. Din förtjusning i Napoleon. Ditt vindrickande ur dödskallar. Hur din mor i din barndom hånade dig för din klumpfot, denna missbildning som skulle följa dig genom livet, men hur du i vattnet kunde känna dig fri när du simmade. Och som du simmade. Inte bara över Bosporen, utan tvärsöver bukten i La Spezia och dagligen i Venedigs Canal Grande.De oräkneliga kvinnohistorierna och din sylvassa penna – även du måste ju förstå att det fanns de i England somgjorde allt för att tvinga dig i exil. De fortsatte svärta din ära och ditt rykte även när döden kom att tvinga dig hem igen.Jag minns dina ord, när ryktena spreds om ett incestiuöst förhållande med din halvsyster: ”When justice is done to me, it will be when this hand that writes is as cold as the hearts which have stung me”.Detta det så kallade Byronmysteriet, du må tror att det har debatterats. Du har försvarats och rentvåtts, men nu säger de att relationen är belagd. Att ni fick barn tillsammans. Men kan det stämma?Du skrev:Har jag felsteg ock bakom mig,Fanns då ingen annan arm,Än den arm, som lindats om mig,Att ge hugget åt min barm?Allt detta till trots sägs det idag att du näst efter Shakespeare är Englands mest älskade skald. Och som med honom försöker man nu finna den du var, glömma att författaren är död, utan i stället följa de spår som kan ge oss ett svar.Själv tänker jag att det egentliga skälet till att du lämnade England inte var dessa kvinnorykten utan snarare minnena av ljuvlemmade möten i länder där tveeggad kärlek som din inte straffades med döden.Men frågorna kan nu aldrig ställas, och svaren vore svar som knappast behövs. Du må leva i de byroniska hjältarna, i Junker Harold såväl som i Don Juan. Och, med eller utan dig, passar dina dikter för vem som än läser dem, då som idag, likt ock imorgon.Men det var de personliga utsvävningarna som fick dekanen i Westminster Abbey att förbjuda din eviga vila där. Som skulle få det att dröja 145 år innan ditt namn fick ta plats i kyrkans Poets Corner. Dessa utsvävningar som århundranden varit så nyfikna på. Och ändå lämnade du allt åt oss. Dina memoarer över ett liv som hade kunnat fylla ett sekel, och som du menade skulle få det sena 1800-talet att häpna. Men jag får göra dig besviken och berätta att dina nära och förläggare lät manuskriptet möta lågorna då de ansåg det alltför skandalöst. Vad hade jag inte gett för att få ta del av det, men kvar sitter jag och dina levnadstecknare med 3000 brev, och nu vill jag ge dig åtminstone ett till svar.För jag vill bara säga dig det att hur du än levde, antecknade och svävade ut, så är dina dikter av inre liv en återglans. Som naturens skönhet varar, som river murar och störtar despoter. Som slåss för frihet och fångar kärlek, den förbjudna, den stormande, den obesvarade.Och jag tror inte du skulle bli förvånad över att det än idag från scener skriks ut ”She walks in beauty like the night”, att försmådda älskare ännu mumlar ”When we two parted in silence and tears”, och att studenter vandrar hem om morgonen med dina verser snurrande i huvudet: Fast vi i natten har ägt varandraoch gryningen kom för snart,skall vi två aldrig vandranär månen lyser klart. Nu når jag snart din grav och med mig mitt brev. Så skön, så fridsam och så mild är döden i sin första bild!I över 200 år har du saknats mig, men en hjälte aldrig fattats mig. Du lever bland oss med nya översättningar, biografier och samlingsutgåvor. I allt mörkare och auktoritära tider kan vi vända oss till dig, så som flertalet förtryckta minoriteter och frihetskämpar gjort för att med dina dikter spränga sina bojor. I känslolivets bergochdalbanefärder sitter du bredvid. I humorlösa tider lockar du med spetsfundig ironi.Jag vill det folket intet, det är visst, och tar därför vår gamla Byron.Låt oss mötas nu.Per BergströmförläggareLitteraturO dåna Ocean, Lord Byron, dikter i tolkning av Gunnar Harding.

Cases of stolen, mistaken and fraudulent identity were not an entirely uncommon thing in Victorian Britain. Somewhat more unusual was the bizarre allegation that an English aristocrat, the 5th Duke of Portland, had lived a double life and eventually faked his own death in order to escape the web of lies he had concocted over the years. It all sounded very far-fetched, but when interested parties attempted to bring the case to court, they found themselves cut off by shadowy powers that led to some deciding that the whole affair was akin to a mysterious conspiracy.

As investigators dig deeper into Ocey's past, they quickly discover that the three women closest to her, her mother, aunt, and mother-in-law, seem to have a strange hold over Ocey.

Among the Pine Barrens of New Jersey (a sprawling forest ecosystem in southern New Jersey), it is said there lives an elusive creature that has haunted and delighted the residents of New Jersey and northern Pennsylvania for centuries. The Jersey Devil (sometimes referred to as the Leeds Devil) is variously described as having the features of everything from a dog and horse to a kangaroo and even the devil himself, with sightings coming in waves throughout history, including a large spike in 1909. Join us as we talk with Jodie Sweetin all about this elusive creature. And check out Jodie's new podcast: How Rude, Tanneritos!

冰心是中国当代最有名的女作家之一。她一生为孩子们写作。冰心在《晨报》上刊登的《寄小读者》为当时中国的孩子们介绍了她在海外的见闻。今天，我们就要选择《寄小读者》中的两封信，回到100年前那艘从中国驶往美国的船上。 Bing Xin is one of the most well known contemporary female writers. She wrote for children all her life. Her “To My Little Readers” which was first published in the “Morning Post” brought her whereabouts abroad to Chinese children of that time. Today, we will choose two letters from this collection, and bring us back to that ship which was sailing from China to America. ◉ Read transcript for free ◉ More learning meterials on Patreon ◉  Find us on YouTube ◉ Attend our weekly Duolingo Events ◉ Find a Chinese teacher on italki (use this link) ◉ We are on LinkedIn

Before she settles down to life of homemaking, security, and insurance policies with Bruce Baldwin in Albany, star reporter Hildy Johnson has one more story to write for her ex-husband and ex-boss Walter Burns, editor of the Morning Post. Hildy must write up an interview with convicted killer Earl Williams that will grant him a last-minute reprieve on the basis of insanity. The ingenious angle she finds to prove he's insane: Earl listened to so many soapbox speeches in the park about the socialist concept of “production for use” that when a gun was placed into his hands, he had to shoot it. Howard Hawks's 1940 film His Girl Friday knits together two plots from two very different genres. One is a romantic comedy that intends to reunite its main couple in something like wedded bliss. The other is a dark drama of murder and corruption, complete with a gallows lurking just outside the window and a suicide attempt that takes place on screen. Yet Earl Williams and Hildy Johnson's fates in their respective plots are twinned. Both are, in a sense, looking for their own reprieves. And Hildy has her own production-for-use dilemma. What was she made for—the life of a newspaperman, or the life of a housewife? To what kinds of production should we devote our own lives? What are we made for—risk and adventure or security and insurance? Wes & Erin discuss.

The annals of late Victorian era crime are usually dominated by one name, but another series of murders, ones lesser-known but more grisly, took place from 1886-1889 with some outlying cases that may or may not have been connected. Were these murders all the work of the same offender? In some cases, were they even murders at all?

Como maçons, somos homens que lutam sempre para ser melhores. Nosso desejo de fazer parte e contribuir para algo maior do que nós nos define. Nosso esforço contínuo para tornar nossas comunidades e o mundo ao nosso redor um lugar melhor tem inspirado homens por gerações. Os maçons são conhecidos há muito tempo por serem grandes líderes. Inúmeros chefes de estado, empresários e diplomatas se juntaram às nossas fileiras ao longo dos séculos, guiados pelos três princípios da Maçonaria: amor fraterno, alívio e verdade. Entre esses homens, poucos tiveram tanto impacto na história mundial quanto o inimitável Winston Spencer Churchill. Embora seja mais conhecido como o primeiro-ministro da Inglaterra durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, Churchill era muitas coisas na verdade. Ele era um soldado, um artista, um escritor prolífico, um estadista – e sim – um maçom. O irmão Churchill foi firme e corajoso quando seu país e todo o mundo ocidental mais precisavam. Sua liderança inabalável durante as crises mais significativas que o mundo já conheceu continua sendo uma inspiração para as pessoas ao redor do mundo hoje. Vida pregressa Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill nasceu em 30 de novembro de 1874, em Oxfordshire, Inglaterra, na casa ancestral de sua família, o Palácio de Blenheim. Descendentes diretos dos Duques de Marlborough, sua família residia entre os mais altos níveis da aristocracia britânica. O pai de Winston, Lord Randolph Henry Spencer Churchill, era membro conservador do Parlamento por Woodstock e sua mãe, Jennie, era filha do empresário americano Leonard Jerome. O jovem Winston estudou na Harrow School, onde demonstrou aptidão para inglês e história. Depois de completar seus estudos, ele se matriculou na Royal Military Academy Sandhurst antes de ingressar no exército como segundo tenente no regimento de cavalaria do 4º Queen's Own Hussars em 1895. Churchill passou os seis anos seguintes cruzando o globo, primeiro viajando para Cuba para relatar as batalhas espanholas contra guerrilheiros cubanos. Após uma breve estada em Nova York, ele foi colocado na Índia, onde serviu como soldado e jornalista durante a Revolta Pathan na Fronteira Noroeste. No final de 1897, ele escreveu seu primeiro livro, The Story of the Malakand Field Force. Sua paixão pela escrita floresceu, e quando ele foi transferido em 1898 para o Sudão para servir na campanha do General Kitchener no Sudão como 21º Lanceiros, ele também trabalhou como jornalista para o The Morning Post. Aos 25 anos, Winston viu o mundo como um soldado, tornou-se um autor publicado e completou passagens como jornalista. Em 1899, ele deixou o exército e se esforçou para lançar sua carreira política. Ele conseguiu e no ano seguinte foi eleito membro conservador do Parlamento da Grã-Bretanha para Oldham. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/malhete-podcast/message

This is a case where the truth is stranger than fiction…or at least more disturbing.  The articles I've read about the legend of the witch tree made it seem like the Storm Demon was this little itty bitty tornado that swept through Louisville destroying one neighborhood and all was well…but all of the articles about the Witch Tree left out that this tornado was part of a mass casualty event with hundreds dead.  So, without further ado let's hear the legend as it's typically told and then learn the horrifying truths of what really transpired.       On the corner of Sixth and Park, in Louisville, Kentucky, stood a large, tall maple; straight as a pole.  It had been there for centuries and provided shade to the citizens of Louisville by day…but by night, below its leafy crown that stretched upwards towards the stars, witches would gather to cast their spells and worship their old gods.  Or, as some may mistakenly believe: the devil.  However, in 1889 a chain of events would be set into motion that would topple not only this sacred maple, but half the city of Louisvile.   Mr. Mengel, of the famous Mengel Lumber Company, was head of the city's planning committee and was scouting for trees to be used for Louisville's May Day celebration when he laid his eyes upon the majestic maple.  He knew that he had to have that tree, it was so tall and so straight, it was born to be a May pole.  The news quickly reached the ears of the witches, perhaps even before the thoughts formed in Mr. Mengel's mind.    One night, under the cover of darkness and a velvet hood, the priestess of the coven knocked on Mr. Mengel's door.  He answered, displeased, and she implored him not to cut down their beloved maple.   “I will do no such thing!” he bellowed.   “Please sir, I beg you to consider your actions very carefully.  I will ask once more for you to please not fell our sacred tree.”   “And I will tell you once more that I will be chopping down that tree”   “Very well,” the priestess said calmly, looking up from beneath her hood, “I asked you nicely and you refused, now you shall face the consequences.”   Before Mr. Mengel could even ask what she meant dozens of cloaked figures emerged from all directions: from behind the trees, around the street corners, and some even seeming to appear out of thin air.  They slowly began to gather together, holding hands as they chanted:   This tree shall stand and not be cut, We've fed her with our laughter. Our leafy haven you'll not gut. Or pay forever after.   But if you, Wooden King, prevail, And Mother Maple dies, The force of Fate shall strike this town And right between the eyes.   If our tree falls, yes, Fate will call To teach you, heartless Dunce, That all man's work can disappear. BEWARE ELEVENTH MONTH!   And just as quickly as they appeared, they were gone.  Leaving only the head witch on Mr. Mengel's doorstep.  “Don't say I didn't warn you Wooden King.  Remember, wood burns.”  She smiled a wry smile, swept her cloak, turned on her heel, and disappeared into the night.   Mr. Mengel paid no mind to the witches' warning, and he proceeded with his plans.  The tree was chopped down, and as its heavy trunk smashed to the ground horrid shrieks could be heard echoing through the city.   However, the May Day celebration went off without a hitch.  The trunk of the maple was adorned with ribbons and decorations of all kinds as men, women, and children danced about it.  Afterward, it's carcass was tossed into the Whitsuntide bonfire where to was turned to ash.  Everyone had forgotten about the witches' warning, but 11 months later, to the very day, the curse would take effect.   On March 28, 1890, the witches whipped up a hell of storm to terrorize the city of Louisville.  They first sent it down Maple Street, proving it was their craftwork, and into downtown.  Here, the storm flattened buildings, killing and injuring many – and among them were the members of the May Day committee and two members of the Mengel family.  And then, according to eyewitnesses, the twister made a bizarre right-hand turn down sixth street.  As it barreled down Sixth Street toward Park, the storm hurled a lightning bolt straight into the stump where the sacred maple had once stood.  From this charred base grew what is now known as the witches' tree: a gnarled wretched thing with great burls and thin branches like the bones of a witches' hand.   Since the day of the storm it is said that coven has returned to cast their spells beneath the twisted branches of the witches' tree.  Visitors to Louisville place flowers at the base of the tree and hang beads and charms from its branches as gifts to the city's witches, in hopes that they may cast a spell in their favor.  Meanwhile, the citizens of Louisville have never dishonored the wishes of a witch since in fear that their city may once again fall to ruins.       What a cute little story, right?  Wrong.  The articles about the witches' tree make it sounds like there was this little twister that rolled through Louisville but no…on March 27, 1890 there was a tornado outbreak and it was the most deadly tornado event in United States history.  I didn't know that a tornado outbreak was a thing?  But now that I know it is, I am absolutely horrified.   You may have caught that I said March 27th and not March 28th.  This is another case of modern journalism recounting the date that an event was reported, not the date that it occurred.  Much like the Carnegie medal situation in episode one.   So, on March 27th 1890 there was a massive outbreak of tornados, dubbed the Storm Demon by some papers, though it appears tornados may have just been called this as I saw newspapers for years after and prior calling them storm demons.  Which may be more errors in modern journalism, but I digress.  This outbreak created a number of storms ranging in intensity from F2 to F4 on the Fujita scale (which goes to 5 by the way).   The tornado that hit Louisville was an F4 storm with winds ranging from 207-260 miles per hour and it destroyed 766 buildings totaling 2.5 million dollars (the modern equivalent of $71 million dollars) in damage.  The storm killed an estimated 74-120 people though initial estimates were around 800, with most of the victims being those within the Falls City Hall building.   The newspapers at the time had a slew of eyewitness accounts.  Now, I will be forthright to say the sources I acquire historic newspapers from did not have the newspapers from Louisville for this time range.  But, fortunately, many newspapers back in the day would run columns verbatim from other areas if it was major news and I was able to acquire them this way.   Now, one of the newspapers I read listed off all of the confirmed dead at the time, and I was not able to find the name “Mengel” anywhere within them.  Two of Mr. Mengel's relatives were said to have died.  This at the moment is unconfirmed.  Also, before we get into the real horror, because I want to read eyewitness accounts, I wanted to talk about the witches' warning.  It has been told many ways – the way I told it was much more dramatic.  The chant I said was said to have been left on a note nailed to the tree, but other sources, or should I say the same exact source said that the warning had been uttered as a simple warning of “Beware 11th month” to Mr. Mengel.  This same source I am talking about is the author and historian David Domine who gives haunted tours.  It is hard to take his word for it when he has been quoted with two distinct stories, and I don't know what his book on Louisville says occurred…I didn't want to buy a physical copy and I can't get the e-book version from the library.  He's a professor, so I'm sure things may be cited in his book but I have to stay the story is a bit crumbly.   Like Falls City Hall.   An excerpt from the Greenville Journal from Thursday, April 3 that describes what happened at the city hall:   “The great center of death is the Falls City Hall where more than two hundred men, woman, and children are entombed.  It is situated on Market street, near Twelfth.  The structure was three stories in height and when struck by the tornado, several meetings were being held within it.  The loss of life at this place far exceeds that at any other one locality and of the great numbers known to be under the debris it is certain that none will be recovered alive.  The ruins are now scarcely one story high so thorough was the work of the wind.”   It goes on to detail some of what was going on in the building at the time:   “On the second floor of this building Miss App was teaching a dance class of young children, and there were present the mothers, fathers, and other attendants of the gay juveniles.  In one of the rooms on this floor the executive body of the Roman Knights was in session.  Of the seven members present all escaped but one.    On the third floor Jewell Lodge No. 2, Knights and Ladies of Honor was holding a meeting.  This was one of the largest lodges of the order, and there were 150 members present when the building fell.  A mere handful of these escaped.”   It describes more in attendance and recounts the tale of A.J. Reed the Past Grand Master LOOF of the State (I don't know what that is) said:   “I was entering the hallway when the tornado struck the building at the southeast corner.  There were several crashes and the structure began to rock, whereupon the men and women from the Knights of Honor meeting began pouring out of their lodge room adjoining shrieking in terror.  It was only for a moment though for the building collapsed and I found myself on top of the great pile.  I was stunned and blinded by the dust, but recovered myself and crawled out.  The agonizing shrieks of others were terrible.  I was finally taken away by a rescuing party.”   So I know that was a lot of reading, but this is the main building where the most life was lost.  I'm unsure if the children in the dance class were okay.  There are some pretty terrible accounts from the Sacramento Daily Record from Saturday the 29th.   Lewis Simms Jr.'s wife and four kids were in the dance class and he paced outside city hall for hours while workers searched the ruins.  Eventually the dance room was reached and his wife was found fatally wounded.  Three of the four Simms children were recovered unconscious and not expected to live.  To make matters worse, before his fourth child could be found, a fire erupted in the wreckage and no more bodies were able to be recovered.   Poor Miss App, the schoolteacher, was one of the bodies recovered before the blaze broke out.   I'm going to read a few more stories, I hope you don't mind.  I know this episode is really depressing and heartbreaking.  But I feel like this particular legend is another example of a city attempting to cope with a horrible tragedy.

For ep 15, our story of broadcasting reaches one John Reith, who spots a job advertisement in the Morning Post. He's never heard of broadcasting. But what led him to that point? Revisiting landmark moments of our story so far, we'll trace Reith's unusual, unorthodox, unexpected life. From son of the manse to voice of the nation, via love, friendship, war... and all three of those are somehow mixed up together in Reith's beloved: Charlie. It's quite a story, and we're indebted to Ian McIntyre's The Expense of Glory, Garry Allighan's Sir John Reith, Marista Leishman's My Father: Reith of the BBC and Charles Stuart's edited The Reith Diaries. Most quotations are from the latter. I recommend all four books for a deep-dive into this. Plus an Airwave Memory from Cole Moreton, whose marvellous book is The Light Keeper - also recommended.

You can support the show via ko-fi.com/paulkerensa for one-off £, or patreon.com/paulkerensa for regular perks - including advance writing and things from Paul. Paul's mailing list is very much joinable, for a monthly update of this, that and the other (writing, gigs, podcasts, etc). As mentioned on the podcast, Paul's festive history book Hark! The Biography of Christmas is now in audiobook form. There's an Audible free trial here if you've not had one before - so you can get Hark! for free, then cancel, and pay nowt. (Full disclosure - I get a couple of quids if you click and activate that, even if you only ever do the free trial.) (Oh and another full disclosure - I'm happy to take a few quid from Amazon, but I'd rather not line Jeff Bezos' pockets much further, so if you're going to buy Hark! The Biography of Christmas, this link takes you to Hive, which supports local independent bookshops - or just ask yours direct. I'm sure they'd love to hear from you.) Paul's Facebook Live show is PK's Uplift Live, every Tuesday from 8pm. Do join. Occasionally he talks about broadcasting history there too. There's also a quiz, some comedy, and an attempt at normality. Thanks to Will Farmer for composing the original music. Archive clips are either public domain or private domain from so long ago, it's nigh-on-impossible to trace... but if you own a clip and want it removed, we'd be happy to oblige. We're just here to inform, educate and entertain - thanks for helping us do so. (This podcast is not affiliated with the BBC. Unless they'd like it to be. But as it stands, this entire operation is just one bloke shouting into his wardrobe. Thanks for listening. Otherwise it's just the shirts.)

The Cricketer, on the edge of a well-deserved century, is the oldest surviving cricket magazine in the world – and shows no sign of leaving the crease. With Peter Oborne and Richard Heller in their latest cricket-themed podcast are its managing editor, and historian, Huw Turbervill, and its editor, Simon Hughes, known to millions from his televised appearances as the Analyst. They reveal that another distinguished centenarian, Captain Sir Tom Moore is a subscriber and an avid cricket follower. They trace the history of The Cricketer, from its foundation in 1921 as a worthwhile activity for Plum Warner after his retirement from first-class cricket. Although it followed the Great War and the Spanish flu pandemic but  neither figured much in its early pages.  Initially a weekly newspaper (at six old pence, about the price of a pint of beer), it began a tradition of securing famous cricketers and distinguished authors as contributors for little or no money.Besides being general editor of The Cricketer, Warner was cricket correspondent of the (ultra-conservative) Morning Post newspaper. He combined these roles with managing England's Bodyline tour of Australia in the 1930s an arrangement unthinkable today, which caused Warner considerable stress. In 1939, The Cricketer greeted the outbreak of war with a memorable cricket-themed editorial. Gallantly, the staff coped with paper shortage and the Blitz to bring out issues throughout the war, which were much appreciated by British prisoners-of-war.Huw and Simon share vivid memories of two distinguished contributors – E W Swanton, grandiose and overbearing but devoted to cricket and good writing, and Christopher Martin-Jenkins, gentle, humorous and always running late, who inspired deep loyalty. They analyse the innovative competitions in English cricket introduced and still supported  by The Cricketer, the Cup for old boys' teams, and the highly popular National Village Trophy, which gives village teams the chance of playing at Lord's (even in this Covid year.)Huw and Simon reveal the ructions caused by their two-yearly attempts to name the players and writer with the greatest influence in cricket. They reveal those who objected to being demoted or under-placed.They describe The Cricketer's tight relationship with its readers and its determination to cover cricket at all levels. Recent issues have had a more social focus, and Simon outlines the magazine's treatment of BlackLivesMatter and the loss of black people to English cricket. Outlining  his latest book A New Innings, co-authored with Manoj Badale owner of the IPL team, Rajastan Royals, Simon charts the generally benign effects of T20 on global cricket. He also sets out the revolutionary implications of the new relationships between cricketers and spectators through sophisticated digital platforms. These could make cricket thrive even if live spectatorship remains off-limits due to Covid (or the next virus).

This episode is going to concentrate on the minutiae of the British army surrounding the city of Gold, Johannesburg. Its the city that was the main cause of this war with its gold and uitlanders or immigrants, who were mainly English speaking and had demanded the right to vote in the Transvaal. It was Kruger who denied them this vote knowing that his government would disappear under the weight of the uitlander city men and women who were colonials through and through and his culture would end. That was the belief. For black Johannesburgers who lived under the harsh Calvinistic overtones of the Boer rule, it was the possibility of freedom that beckoned. Little did they know that the British would impose far harsher rule on blacks than the Boers, and in fact the British adherance to their imperial bureaucracy meant that the weak control over black movement for example would be beefed up with the arrival of the super-efficient British Empire. So as the townships of the Witwatersrand echoed with happy sounds as black residents waited in expectation for the British arrival, the Boer administrators were rushing to empty the city of all its valuables. Twenty six kilometres away to the south west, Roberts was coming to visit. The main song sung by troops in his army was “We're marching to Pretoria” which became a clarion call and a morale booster during tough times. The pattern of the advance rarely faltered, and surprised even Lord Roberts and one of the most famous war reporters riding alongside - Winston Churchill. He'd already been imprisoned and escaped from Pretoria, only to return to report for the Morning Post newspaper on the battles since. However, Churchill was beginning to have his doubts about the British role in this war.

Winston Churchill who had been captured near Chieverley on the railway line between Escourt and Ladysmith in October and was lucky not to have been shot on the spot. While ostensibly working as a war correspondent for the Morning Post newspaper, he really was more than an imbedded reporter. Churchill's father was Lord Randolph, a British Lord and well-known politician. Churchill literally took over the situation when his train was ambushed and issued orders to the commander who followed his orders. The Boers capture of one the empire's famous sons was deeply embarrassing for the British commander Redvers Buller. But Churchill's escape coincides with a terrible battle called Spion Kop which resonates to this day in so many ways.

It is popular to look at today's political challenges through the prism of prime ministers past, but when it comes to former liberal leaders it's usually Robert Menzies, not Alfred Deakin, who comes to mind. However Judith Brett, emeritus professor of politics at La Trobe University and author, says we have much to learn from Australia's second prime minister. Her new biography, The Enigmatic Mr Deakin, reveals the intense inner world of one of the most important fathers of Australian federation, who led the fledgling nation for three separate stints. Brett says Deakin was something of a puzzle - even to himself. As PM he had an unusual double life, anonymously penning political columns for The Morning Post in London - a well kept secret at the time. He was a gifted orator, but above all he harnessed his optimism to operate a government of compromise at a challenging time. “He saw himself as between the ultras - the ultra tory obstructionists and the part of the Labor party that was firming up as more ideological in his terms.” Brett argues that despite Deakin's undeniable charisma and skills in persuasion, his tendency towards great introspection and solitude means he would find the intensity of contemporary politics and media overwhelming. For today's two major parties “brand differentiation has become more important than actually solving problems”, Brett says, while Deakin advocated “policy before the needs of the party.”
