Welcome, South Coast newcomer and the owner-operator of an already local institution, Fairhaven Frets, Bryon Knight. One of our newest friends, supporters, and collaborators. He began his musical career at age 11 and wanted to know more about how instruments were built. Bryon began “hanging around” a shop where a master fiddle maker was producing hand-made violins, violas, cellos, and a few guitars. He "swept the sawdust just to be near the old luthier and glean technical tidbits that would prove to be valuable later in my life." He also began playing in bands and eventually started touring regionally. Did we mention that Byron was from Arkansas and that he also had a 25-year career in television production, producing programs for ESPN, Fox Sports, The Discovery Channel, and The Outdoor Channel? He moved on to join the largest music retailer in the world, Thomann/Sweetwater Sound. After the devastating loss of a friend, he was encouraged by Little Rock Frets, which, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, was the largest string instrument repair shop in the state. His wife, Frances, is a New England Native and wanted to return "Home," and so they did and came to Fairhaven, Massachusetts, where Fairhaven Frets came into existence in 2019. Byron Knight spoke with The Artists Index's cofounder, documentarian, and podcast host, Ron Fortier, this past April, about how he "always played music and worked on instruments - mostly for the pure love of the art". This episode was recorded at our recording studio at Spectrum Marketing Group at Howland Place in New Bedford.   Bryon Knight Fairhaven Frets 105 Sconticut Neck Road Fairhaven MA 02719 508-433-3738   Email | Website | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Other   Please consider donating whatever you can to help and assure us in our mission to continue documenting the legacies of South Coast Artists.

C'est l'une des affaires criminelles les plus marquantes des États-Unis, pas tant pour le nombre de victimes, mais pour la violence du double meurtre. Andrew Borden et sa femme Abby, âgés respectivement de 70 et 64 ans, sont retrouvés morts chez eux, dans la matinée du 4 août 1892. L'arme du crime ? Une hache. Le nombre de coups portés ? 18 pour Andrew, 19 pour Abby. Quant à la clé du mystère : il n'y aurait eu aucun témoin. À moins, bien sûr, que les deux autres personnes présentes dans la maison ce jour-là n'aient menti...Le procès de Lizzie Borden s'ouvre le 5 juin 1893, dans la ville de New Bedford, Massachusetts, au sein de la Cour supérieure. Il doit durer 2 semaines. La cour est présidée par trois juges ; Albert Mason, Justin Dewey et Calvin Clifford. La défense est assurée par un trio de renom : Andrew Jennings, ami de longue date de la famille, Melvin Adams, un jeune avocat et George D. Robinson, ancien gouverneur du Massachusetts.

Welcome, South Coast native, America's Master Mentalist, and our friend, Jon Stetson, to our 206th podcast! Jon was our guest during the height of the pandemic when we recorded his visit on Podcast Number 67. A lot has happened in the World since we last spoke with him. In case you didn't know, Jon inspired the CBS hit television series “The Mentalist”. Stetson blends the art of Mystery with the study of Psychology, the predictability of human nature, and the power of intuition. According to Jon, “Imaginations are wowed, stretched, and captured, as thoughts are revealed and minds are being read.” This all takes place with Jon's intriguing games of mind-to-mind contact. As his billing touts, “The Stetson Experience is intelligent, interactive, sophisticated fun.” Jon says he began, "the study of the mystic arts at a very early age and has been blessed to receive formal training from some very gifted and proficient mystics, intuitives, shamans, and healers." He has performed for five U.S. Presidents, the King of Sweden, and the Royal Family of Monaco. He has appeared on several major television networks and made hundreds of corporate and celebrity appearances, Jon Stetson spoke with The Artists Index's cofounder, documentarian, and podcast host, Ron Fortier, once again last summer, about his study of the mystic arts and interactions with some of the greatest mystics and shamans.

This week: State representative Chris Flanagan from Cape Cod has been indicted, but will he step down from office? Neighbors of the Sagamore Bridge speak out on the pain of being in the path of new construction. And: a chilling video from New Bedford raises questions about federal immigration enforcement.

In the war on drugs, police rely heavily on confidential informants, because citing a CI empowers them to use tactics with less oversight and fewer guardrails. But the practice is rife with abuse, allowing them to skirt civil liberties on the word of snitches who might not even exist.   The problem is pronounced in the historic fishing town of New Bedford, MA. Investigative reporters have identified many instances where cops used the CI system to make dubious arrests, rip off dealers, and avoid accountability. It found that one of the biggest users of these shady tactics has long evaded culpability - and today is the city's police chief.From The Boston Globe's vaunted investigative unit, “Spotlight: Snitch City” uncovers the murky world of informant-based law enforcement and its history in one community. Host Dugan Arnett talks to former New Bedford officers and CIs about misuse of the system. It also uncovers evidence of questionable behavior by Paul Oliveira, who built his career using snitches and is now head of the department.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "SPOTLIGHT: SNITCH CITY" IN THE FINAL NINE MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.  For exclusive podcasts and more, sign up at Patreon.Sign up for our newsletter at crimewriterson.com.

Today, we're sharing the first episode of the brand new podcast Spotlight: Snitch City, produced by The Boston Globe's award-winning Spotlight team. In this specific episode, you'll find yourself on the docks of New Bedford, Massachusetts, hearing whispers about a rogue police officer harassing fishermen and stealing drugs, all of which come to a head one late night aboard a scalloping boat. The officer forces his way on board, saying an informant told him there would be drugs on board, and demands some. But when another officer, Mark Raposo, shows up, he thinks his colleague is in the middle of a “drug rip.” Now Raposo is ready to blow the whistle on what he's seen. And it turns out that this officer's abuse of the informant system is just the tip of the iceberg in this historic port city.

Welcome, Max Wickemeyer to our 205th podcast! Max is also known as Max Harris Wickemeyer or, by his professional name Max H. Wickemeyer. We were introduced to Max by our friend and early podcast guest, Dan Cooney, the co-owner of Heavenly Spirits and our first sponsor. Max said that I described him as a polymath and that, "only time will tell" if, what I said was accurate. He started taking music lessons at 7 years old including trumpet, drums, and then guitar at 12. He's continued playing ever since and was a trio member of a hobby rock group, which according to AI Overview, is a group, "whose members play music primarily for enjoyment and personal satisfaction, rather than for professional gain or career advancement.  It's a group that enjoys the creative process of making music together, often focusing on the camaraderie and artistic expression rather than commercial success." The group performed for charities and was called The Turlebackband. Max says they got together in 2003 and played together until 2017. He was a collaborator and not a frontman. His role was bass player and very occasional harmony. According to Max, "I also helped keep the group glued socially. Max Wickemeyer's other artisanal experiences and executions include carpentry, painting, plaster, metalwork, fine furniture, and picture frames. He is a long-time landscape gardener and his other hobbies include yoga, forest walks, biking, and roaming places including neighborhoods of my most recent residence, the South Coast. He's also been a volunteer land steward for Nature Conservancy. He spent 37 years in the insurance industry and retired to, "only seek an understanding of the cosmos." He has one daughter and two grandchildren. Max Wickemeyer spoke with The Artists Index's cofounder, documentarian, and podcast host, Ron Fortier, last summer, about his passions, his interests, and his new life after relocating to the South Coast.

After attending the final evening of the Metropolitan Opera's performance of  Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, in this  episode I share a passionate introduction and my fandom and I read one of my favorite segment from Chapter 15, titled "Chowder."  This hilariously funny and vivid passage describes Ishmael and Queequeg's encounter with Mrs. Hussey at the Try Pots Inn on Nantucket after their frosty voyage from New Bedford where they enjoy both a delectable clam and cod chowder before negotiating sleeping arrangements minus Queequeg's harpoon.I was so inspired to share this reading and then direct you to check out my YouTube channel for my specialD, "Ocean State of Mind Clam Chowder" recipe that I hope you'll make at home!  Zero or minimal food packaging waste, nutritious, organic and economical.https://youtu.be/DW7Dezumy5Y?si=gkg9zUMut2rwPaLj MINDFUL MEALS & SUSTAINABLE LIVING - The Art of Living an Elevated Lifestyle

Today, we're sharing the first episode of the brand new podcast Spotlight: Snitch City, produced by The Boston Globe's award-winning Spotlight team – some of the same folks who brought you the Gladiator podcast!Named a “must listen” podcast by The Guardian, Snitch City brings you inside the secret world of police informants through one small city – at the forefront of America's drug war – New Bedford, Massachusetts. Featuring never-before-told cases, the podcast investigates how officers have exploited the secrecy of the informant system to enrich themselves, break laws, protect drug dealers, and attack perceived enemies… all with impunity.In this specific episode of Snitch City, you'll find yourself on the docks of New Bedford, hearing whispers about a rogue police officer harassing fishermen and stealing drugs, all of which come to a head one late night aboard a scalloping boat. The officer forces his way on board, saying an informant told him there would be drugs on board, and demands some. But when another officer, Mark Raposo, shows up, he thinks his colleague is in the middle of a “drug rip.” Now Raposo is ready to blow the whistle on what he's seen. And it turns out that this officer's abuse of the informant system is just the tip of the iceberg in this historic port city.

Welcome to the Lost Artists of Fairhaven Podcast Series hosted by Scott Bishop! The series focuses on the artists who once lived, worked, or were born in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. The town was and continues to be called home to many now-historical artists who were forgotten or unsung in their day. This focused series of podcast episodes presented by The Artists Index brings you informative conversations with historians, family members, friends, or acquaintances who once contributed to Fairhaven as Visual, Performing, Literary, or Culinary Artists as well as the supporters, and cultural impresarios of this remarkable corner of the South Coast's creative community. Scott speaks with The Millicent Library's director, Kyle DeCicco Carey * about Lillian Allen Dexter. She was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, on August 29, 1871.  She graduated from New Bedford High School in 1889. From there, she then went on to study at the Cooper Union School in New York City, where she earned a certificate in Pen and Ink Illustration from the school's Women's Art Department in 1893. During the 1890s, Dexter traveled to various locations between Massachusetts, New York, and West Virginia visiting, parks and Civil War battlefields, where she sketched flowers and other botanicals. In the late 1890s, she lived in Washington, D.C., with her uncle, the clerk of the US Senate Finance Committee. While there she worked for the American Rose Company, creating commercial art. After leaving Washington, Dexter settled in Marion, Massachusetts where she remained until her passing on July 13, 1928. The Millicent Library archival collections include many of her watercolors and pen-and-ink drawings. If you have any further knowledge, memories, or documentation on this artist, please contact us!

Back in 1958, passenger rail service came to an end between Boston and the South Coast of Massachusetts, leaving cities like Taunton, New Bedford, and Fall River without train access to the largest city in New England. Now, decades later, South Coast residents are about to get that access back, as the MBTA is starting up service in late March. MBTA General Manager Phil Eng joins the show to discuss the long-running project, what riders can expect, and what comes next.

In this engaging bi-weekly news roundup, host Tim Montague welcomes back John Weaver, "the commercial solar guy," to discuss major developments in the renewable energy sector. The episode highlights Bloomberg NEF's report of nearly 50 gigawatts of solar deployed in the US in 2024, a significant increase from the previous year that demonstrates solar's growing dominance over wind in capacity additions.John shares his analysis of California's impressive clean energy progress, where solar generation is up 34% year-over-year and recently achieved the milestone of meeting 100% of the state's electricity demand - remarkably in February. They discuss how battery storage deployment is revolutionizing California's grid stability and enabling more solar integration.The conversation takes a serious turn examining the Trump administration's executive order pausing IRA funding and its implications for domestic manufacturing, including the news that Freyr Battery (now T1 Energy) has canceled its planned US battery factory.

Welcome Milt Brightman to this special episode. Milt, who was our guest on Podcast Episode 17, speaks about his late friend, Swain School of Design classmate, and fellow artist, the late Eric Hart.  Eric was the very first person Milt met when he attended the Swain School of Design. They attended their first class in the sculpture building behind the Rodman House - the William Rotch Rodman Mansion - in 1972 . In this podcast, Milt Brightman relates how he, "approached the front of the building... I saw stacks of boxes, which turned out to be clay, and a male student with long flowing blond hair. I asked him what's going on and he said, 'help me move these boxes inside'. After we had done so and the class started and ended, I thought I had someone in this sea of strangers to talk to, but he just ignored my approach and moved away to the next class." Milt continues, "The way we ended up as friends was through a third party, Dave Peloquin, who found out I liked sword and sorcery art work and started talking to me. As it turned out, he and Eric Hart were rooming together. On my many visits to their apartment, that, by the way was filled with Swain students in other apartments inside the same building. Eric warmed up to me eventually but had a stronger bond to Dave at the time. I believe it was in our sophomore year that Dave, who was a very good artist in his own right, had to drop out of Swain due to personal reasons. From that point on, it was just me and Eric working together." "In our Junior and Senior years we shared a studio together in the Melville (Building) and our bond grew much stronger. Many times we abandoned our classmates on landscape painting excursions and went off on our own to paint. Yes, we got some flack for that but we were young and arrogant and making the progress in our work that we hoped to make, so we continued along in the same way all the way to graduation." "When Eric left, we made the usual promises that people make to stay in touch, but in our case we did, through letter writing and I begain to make excursions to Connecticuit (where Eric moved to) on a yearly basis. Eric also came back to Massachusetts on occasion and we always, had painting as our connection. We drank and spoke of old times, but that was after day long excursions into the landscape to paint in oils, watercolors and drawings. Our friendship lasted right to the end when he passed away, and I will never forget him. Every time I start to draw or paint he is always there with me, and will be so always." On this podcast, Milt Brightman speaks with The Artists Index's cofounder, documentarian, and podcast host, Ron Fortier, about his friend Eric Hart, their lifelong friendship, and their journey as artists.  This episode was recorded at our recording studio at Spectrum Marketing Group at Howland Place in New Bedford.   Eric Palmer Hart | PAINTER  According to Milt Brightman, he lived at a number of locations in Connecticut. He moved to Uncasville, Connecticut on the shore of Haugton's Cove. It was his second studio and was adjoined to the house. He moved to Groton, Connecticut just before he died in October of 2023.   Milt Brightman 75 Clara Street New Bedford, Massachusetts 02744 508-965-6048 Email | Website | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Other   Please consider donating whatever you can to help and assure us in our mission to continue documenting the legacies of South Coast Artists.

A child of the 70s, my heart beats to the timeless rhythms of old-school R&B, the electrifying vibes of 80s MTV, and the soulful grooves of 90s New Jack Swing. Growing up in New Bedford, MA, I was inspired by a vibrant local music scene and spent countless nights sleeping on studio floors to hone my craft. Since the mid-1980s, I've been crafting music that echoes the golden eras that shaped me, blending nostalgia with innovation to create a sound uniquely my own.

Quando as notícias das mortes das prostitutas em Lisboa chegam a New Bedford, nos Estados Unidos, ressurge uma dúvida antiga. E se o responsável pelas mortes de 11 mulheres na cidade, onde quase metade da população é descendente de portugueses, não só tiver fugido para Portugal como tiver voltado a matar? E se o “New Bedford Highway Killer” e o “Estripador de Lisboa” forem a mesma pessoa? Nesta altura, são várias as pistas internacionais seguidas pela PJ. Que também vai pôr sob escuta um médico muito suspeito. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
