Podcasts about objects

Ten years, 500 shows, countless guests. To celebrate our anniversary, we're releasing a special four-part series looking back at the evolution of L&D. In part one, Ross G and Ross D are joined by friend-of-the-show Julie Dirksen to revisit our early years. We discuss: whether L&D has yet become 'evidence-based' dumb ideas we fall for, get over, and fall for again evidence-based orthodoxies which we once believed, but now aren't so sure about. During the discussion, we referenced the Mehrabian fallacy, problems with the forgetting curve, and how psychologst Anders Ericsson improved his memory by forming connections with running times. In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross D referenced A History of the United States in 100 Objects, a podcast collaboration between the BBC and 99% Invisible. He wants you to know that his description of the 'screws' episode is inaccurate. Ross G discussed the carrier pigeon-based social media app Roost. Next week, we'll be revisiting our second Era: The pandemic years. You can find details of Julie's books, Design for How People Learn and Talk to the Elephant, at our website usablelearning.com Like the show? You'll love our newsletter!

When her family moved into an old farmhouse in Oregon, the strange activity seemed easy enough to dismiss. Objects disappeared, unsettling feelings lingered in empty rooms, and her parents occasionally heard what sounded like a child running and laughing through the house long after everyone had gone to bed.At first, they assumed there had to be a logical explanation.But as the months passed, the incidents became harder to ignore. The activity seemed to center around one of her younger sister's favorite possessions—a clown doll nobody could remember buying and a bedroom her father suddenly became very uncomfortable entering.What happened next convinced her parents that whatever was in the farmhouse wasn't going away.Not long afterward, they made a decision many families would never consider: they packed up, left the house behind, and never looked back. #RealGhostStories #GhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedHouse #HauntedFarmhouse #CreepyDoll #PossessedDoll #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #UnexplainedMysteryLove real ghost stories?

He had always considered himself more of a skeptic than a believer.Then he and his wife moved into a modest Cape Cod-style home and began noticing small things they couldn't quite explain. Shadows at the edge of their vision. Objects turning up in strange places. Motion lights activating when no one was near them.At first, he treated it all like a puzzle. His wife was less amused.The activity became harder to dismiss when the lights began turning on in sequence, almost as if someone were walking through the house. Then a casual conversation with a neighbor gave the mystery a name—and suddenly, the strange path through the home seemed to make a lot more sense.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #HauntedHouse #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #MotionLights #GhostChild #UnexplainedMystery #HauntedHomeLove real ghost stories?

No other American colony projected such extensive power with so few people. We recount how the French explored the vast northern region they called “Canada” for decades in pursuit of furs and the Northwest Passage, but repeatedly failed to plant a lasting colony in the harsh and forbidding land—until they found in Samuel de Champlain a leader with the shrewdness and grit to overcome the severe cold, the vast distances, and the treacherous politics of the Saint Lawrence basin. We trace the growth of Quebec from little more than a warehouse in the frozen wildnerness to a thriving town, controlling the most critical gateway into the continent and serving as the hub of a lucrative trading network, a vast constellation of mission towns and outposts (including the Christianizing experiment known as Montreal), and most importantly, a formidable indigenous alliance system that dominated the continenet from the Atlantic to Lake Superior. Finally, we consider the disasters of the mid-1600s, including deadly epidemics and warfare with the Five Nations, that brought Canada's most important allies to their knees and threatened to wipe the colony off the map.

In 1861, one man and a “gas bag” filled with hydrogen sparked America's obsession with going higher, farther, into the unknown. In this episode, Roman and journalist Jack Hitt tell the story of Thaddeus Lowe — showman, scientist, and dreamer — whose balloon flight from Cincinnati went wildly off course and straight into the Civil War. Lowe pivoted to create the US military's first aerial reconnaissance unit, a precursor to the Air Force, and today his legacy spans generations— stretching all the way to the dark side of the moon.

Have you ever picked up a piece of antique jewelry and wondered how it got there? Behind every brooch, ring, or sapphire in a boutique window is a network of specialists: historians, gemologists, goldsmiths, appraisers, lapidaries, and dealers, each playing a role in the journey from discovery to display case. In this episode, Matthew Weldon of Courtville Antiques breaks down the ecosystem of the antique jewelry trade, explaining who does what, how the roles connect, and what a typical week actually looks like across the industry. Whether you already work in the trade or are considering entering it, this episode offers a candid guide to the many career paths within antique jewelry. Drawing on his own background, from studying gemology at the GIA to running Courtville and working alongside his family's auction house, Matthew gives an honest picture of each role's rewards and risks. From spotting overlooked treasures to the tension of handing a six-carat Burma sapphire to a lapidary, the episode makes the case that there is a place in this business for many different skill sets. Key Takeaways • Antique jewelry passes through many hands before reaching a buyer, often involving researchers, gemologists, appraisers, goldsmiths, and dealers. • Gemologists identify and assess stones scientifically, while appraisers combine those findings with market data to produce legal valuations for insurance, probate, or resale. • Skilled lapidaries are increasingly rare, creating challenges for businesses dealing with valuable antique stones. • Auctions and private sales operate differently: auctions are strictly “as is,” while private dealers are bound by consumer protections and guarantees. • Content creation has become a legitimate route into the industry, with creators and journalists building careers around shows, auctions, and trade coverage. • Matthew's philosophy on consignment is simple: if you would not buy a piece yourself, you should not expect someone else to. Quotes “On average here in Courtville, I would say we would look at between three and four thousand pieces of jewelry a week... How many pieces do we buy? On average, I'd say we're buying one to two percent of the pieces that we'd see.” — 27:23 “If you lose a piece of antique jewelry, you might have to source lots of different antique stones... You'll also have to get a jeweller to hand make the piece.” — 8:38 “Never a more accurate phrase than measure twice, cut once.” — 22:54 Resources • GIA (Gemological Institute of America) • Gem-A, London • Wartsky's, London • Courtville Antiques — www.courtville.ie • Miami Beach Antique Show • Jewelry, Objects and Antique Show, New York • Galerie Apollon, The Louvre • The Smithsonian • The V&A • Musée des Arts Modernes, Paris • L'École Van Cleef & Arpels Socials & Contact Instagram: @gempursuitpod Instagram: @courtvilleantiques TikTok: @matthew.weldon Email: info@gempursuit.com Selected Timestamps (1:56) Why careers in antique jewelry matter (4:48) Gemologist (8:00) Types of valuation (14:19) Goldsmith and restoration (18:45) Lapidary and diamond cutter (26:50) Antique jewelry dealer (32:05) Auctions vs private market (40:50) Content creator and jewelry journalist (44:10) Museum and curatorial roles (45:16) Jewelry designer www.courtville.ie Get social with Courtville, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok This podcast was produced for Courtville by Tape Deck

“Objects in museums have to come from somewhere. The stories of how they came to be in those collections often involve laws being broken, unethical behaviour, and extreme violence.” — Matthew Campbell Imagine a gay Jeffrey Epstein who set up shop in Thailand. Only rather than peddling young girls, he traded in bodybuilders and priceless antiquities. That's the story of the British émigré Douglas Latchford, the subject of Matthew Campbell's new book The Man Who Stole the Gods. It's the true story of a man who was born in the last days of the British Raj, made his fortune in Bangkok, became the world's leading dealer of Khmer antiquities, and was indicted for criminal conspiracy in 2019. Campbell's tale is simultaneously a crime story, a history of Cambodia, and a parable about the relationship between Western wealth and the world's cultural heritage. The Khmer Empire, which dominated Southeast Asia from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries, produced one of the finest civilisations of the medieval world. Angkor in the twelfth century had 750,000 people — making it ten times the size of London. After the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime, every Khmer site in Cambodia was systematically looted. The pieces went to the Metropolitan Museum, to Christie's, to private American collectors. Latchford was the central conduit. The Jeffrey Epstein enabler. Like Epstein, Latchford got away with it for years. Unlike Epstein, he died a free man, even chalking up a 2020 New York Times obituary as a Khmer antiquities expert. Five Takeaways •       Douglas Latchford: The British Jeffrey Epstein of Asian Art: Born in the last days of the British Raj, educated in the UK, Latchford made his fortune in Bangkok and became the world's leading dealer of Southeast Asian antiquities — selling pieces for millions of dollars to the Metropolitan Museum, Christie's, and wealthy American collectors. He presented himself as an expert and connoisseur. He gave to universities and lent to exhibitions. He received a glowing obituary in the New York Times in August 2020. The dark side: he was, Campbell shows, the central organiser of a decades-long criminal conspiracy to loot Cambodia's cultural heritage. He was indicted in 2019 but died before he could be extradited. •       The Khmer Empire: 750,000 People When London Had 40,000: The Khmer Empire dominated Southeast Asia from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries, ruling directly or indirectly over what is now Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and parts of Malaysia. Its capital, Angkor, had 750,000 people in the twelfth century — when London had 40,000 at the absolute outside. The Khmer built extraordinary temple cities — Angkor Wat is only the most famous — and produced remarkable stone and bronze sculpture. Every single Khmer site in Cambodia was systematically looted. The pieces all went somewhere. A great many came to the West. •       The Vietnam War, Nixon, Kissinger, and the Conditions for Genocide: The Vietnam War is central to Campbell's story. The Ho Chi Minh Trail ran partly through Cambodia, making Cambodia of great interest to Nixon and Kissinger. Beginning in 1968, large-scale American bombing of Cambodia — ostensibly aimed at destroying a supposed communist headquarters that, Campbell notes, never actually existed — helped destabilise the country and created the conditions in which the Khmer Rouge could emerge. The Khmer Rouge ideology: Pol Pot believed civilisation needed not to be reformed but erased. A blank slate. Rebuild from zero. •       The Museum World's Complicity: The Sackler Parallel: The Metropolitan Museum of Art features prominently in Campbell's account. Objects in museums have to come from somewhere — the works in the Met did not originate in New York. How they came to be in those collections often involved laws being broken, unethical behaviour, and extreme violence. Campbell draws a parallel with Patrick Radden Keefe's account of the Sacklers: the more investigative journalists look at the wealthy donors and private collectors associated with major cultural institutions, the more troubling the stories that emerge. The museum world has a serious provenance problem. •       The Happy Ending: Repatriation and the National Museum in Phnom Penh: Latchford was indicted in 2019 for criminal conspiracy. He died in 2020, in a monastery in Northern Thailand, before he could be extradited. He never went to trial. But the recovery effort — a remarkable collaboration between Cambodia and the US Department of Justice — tracked down hundreds of stolen objects through meticulous detective work. The pieces have been returned to Cambodia. The National Museum in Phnom Penh now has so many repatriated objects that it is running out of room and may need to build a new wing. As Campbell says: that's a good problem to have. About the Guest Matthew Campbell is an award-winning investigative journalist at Bloomberg Businessweek. He is the author of The Man Who Stole the Gods: A True Story of War, Obsession, and a Global Art Conspiracy (Portfolio/Penguin Random House, June 2, 2026) and co-author, with Kit Chellel, of Dead in the Water (a Book of the Year in The Economist, Financial Times, and The Times; called a ‘masterpiece' by the New York Times). A 2025 Jonathan Logan Family Foundation Fellow at New America, Campbell has reported from more than 25 countries. He lives in Singapore. References: •       The Man Who Stole the Gods: A True Story of War, Obsession, and a Global Art Conspiracy by Matthew Campbell (Portfolio/Penguin Random House, June 2, 2026). •       Dead in the Water by Matthew Campbell and Kit Chellel (2022) — the preceding book, referenced at the opening. •       Patrick Radden Keefe, Empire of Pain — referenced as a parallel account of museum world complicity. •       The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York — a central institution in the Latchford network. •       Cambodia's National Museum, Phnom Penh — the destination of the repatriated objects. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

What do Civil War pension files reveal about one of history's most successful slave rebellions? Historian Edda Fields-Black joins Roman to trace a story of fire, flight, and freedom — beginning on a South Carolina rice plantation in 1863, where a Union raid liberated over 700 people in a single night. By unearthing Black soldiers' testimonies buried in military pension applications, they resurrect not just the raid, but the lives and communities it transformed.

Chris grew up hearing stories about an apartment his parents rented when he was a baby.At first, the stories sounded almost harmless. A Christmas tree that somehow lit up after being unplugged. Strange little incidents that were easy to dismiss individually.Then the activity became harder to explain.Objects appeared to move on their own. Rooms felt wrong. And one experience frightened his mother so badly that she grabbed her infant son and fled the apartment without even stopping for shoes.The strangest part came years later. Long after the family had moved away, new tenants kept asking the same question his parents had once been asked themselves: Had anything unusual ever happened in that apartment?#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #HauntedApartment #TrueGhostStory #ChristmasGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #HauntedHome #UnexplainedMystery #ThingsThatMoveOnTheirOwnLove real ghost stories?

This episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast is an introduction to “Leave it There”, this season’s theme. I share some of the initial topics it brought to my mind. I’d love to hear from you about what it brings to yours. What Does Leave It There Mean To You? Is there something you want to leave behind? Do you want to get better at letting things go? Or maybe, the opposite, persisting with important things even when others tell you to drop it. Have you stumbled across something left somewhere, deliberately or accidentally? Do you want to leave nice things for others to discover? Maybe you’d like to get better at spotting and ignoring bait that others want you to react to. Do you want to trust your preparation and know when something is good enough, rather than sabotaging it through over-preparation? This theme is open for exploring. I want to move through it in ways that reflect your curiosities, needs, and desires. Leave It There – A Train of Thought Mini-Zine I started off by jumping on the Train of Thought. I love using mini-zines to generate and explore creative ideas quickly, so that’s what I did. Old Hurt (leaving it in the past) Beliefs (recognising our ability to choose) The Point (avoiding over-explanation) Dropping It (letting go or standing firm) Surprises (discovering unexpected things) Gifts (subverting the myth that humans are driven by greed and self-interest) Blaming the Victim (was it my fault for leaving it there?) Objects in Unusual Places (there’s a story here) A Creative Process (germination, satisfaction, and courage) Exits and Quitting (knowing when and how to walk away) Bait (cultivating indifference) Conditions For Change (leaving things visible) Trusting Preparation (recognising when enough is enough) Offloading (sharing the burden) Setting Limits (running out of space) What would you add? Let me know! Loading Viewer... Journal Circle Prompts This season’s Journal Circle questions are all inspired by the theme “Leave it There”. Whether you have a journal practice, you’d like to start one, or you simply want to play with some of the ideas we are exploring, here are some prompts to get you started… Coming To Our Senses – End of Season Zine This season’s issue of Coming To Our Senses will bring together our Leave It There explorations. We will watch the video version together at the listening party on Sunday, September 6th 2026. It would be great to have you involved in some way, big or small! I’m always looking for contributions to fill the pages. You can send something below, or if you would like help deciding what to do, use the form to get in touch.

A cursed football jersey, a dead rival, and a summer camp full of athletes collide in this terrifying new Weekly Spooky horror story from Rob Fields.After surviving the impossible during last fall's championship game, Eddie “Peewee” Richter should be focused on college football, scholarships, and proving he belongs on the field. Instead, he's trapped at Camp Red Feather, haunted by nightmares of Greg Branlake—the football phenom who transformed into something monstrous in front of an entire stadium.But when the Demon returns, it is no longer just a nightmare.A brutal attack at camp proves that the horror from Strickfield's past is alive, angry, and hungry for revenge. Peewee may have escaped once, but the Demon has a new plan: kill everyone who was there that night, saving Peewee for last. As panic takes hold and secrets surrounding the mysterious 00 jersey begin to surface, Peewee realizes the only way to survive may be to uncover the truth behind the curse before it comes for him.This first chapter of the Summer of the Demon miniseries launches a fast, frightening blend of sports horror, supernatural revenge, summer camp terror, monster mayhem, and Strickfield mythology—perfect for fans of scary stories, cursed objects, demonic slashers, and horror fiction with a pulpy, high-energy edge.Listen now for a summer horror story where the game never really ended… and the Demon is still keeping score.Summer of the Demon: Part 1 — by Rob Fields

In this episode, Allie Kochinsky is joined by Brittany Shepard, founder of The Sentimental Decorator and co-host of The Sentimental Twist, for a conversation on what she calls storykeeping, the practice of weaving memory, meaning, and personal history into the everyday rhythms of home.Together, the two explore the quiet power of ordinary rituals: setting the table without occasion, using heirlooms instead of saving them, and gathering in ways that feel lived-in rather than performed. Brittany shares how her perspective on home was shaped by the women who raised her, and how continuing their traditions through objects and simple acts of hospitality has become a way of carrying their presence forward.Brittany and Allie also talk about the difference between hosting and hospitality, the emotional weight objects can hold, and why repetition rather than reinvention is often what creates a true sense of home. RESOURCES:Visit The Sentimental Decorator website here.Follow Brittany on Instagram. Follow Brittany's podcast!If you enjoy Grandma's Silver, follow the podcast and share this episode with a friend who loves heritage, design, and timeless living.

This month a bit of a JWST fest with news about the cosmic Web (Webb?! ) and those little red dots the seem to be breaking cosmology. There is also our normal skyguide and moon guide. Produced by Paul, Jen, John, Damien & Dustin

In the early 20th century, nothing quite fit — fire hoses couldn't connect to one another, football teams played with different balls, traffic lights meant different things in different states. Then World War II exposed the deadly cost of incompatibility, and the US quietly imposed a single solution on production lines across the world: the 60-degree screw. Roman Mars and historian Daniel Immerwahr tell the story of a hidden industrial empire, built one standard at a time.

The old apartment building had once been a school before being converted into rentals, but Karen didn't think much about that when she moved in.At first, the strange activity felt easy to explain away. A misplaced set of keys. A movie mysteriously turned off. Objects left in places she didn't remember putting them.Then the voices started.One afternoon while recording video at a friend's house, everyone in the room heard someone clearly say Karen's name—even though no one else was there. Moments later, the camera seemed to catch a shadow moving down the hallway.After that, the activity inside her apartment became harder to ignore. And years later, Karen still isn't completely sure whatever was there ever truly left her alone.#RealGhostStories #HauntedApartment #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #ShadowFigure #TrueGhostStory #SpiritEncounter #HauntedBuilding #VoicesFromBeyond #ParanormalExperienceLove real ghost stories?
