For a hundred years, parents attempting to undertake creative endeavours have had a ready-made excuse, courtesy of Cyril Connolly: “The enemy of art is the pram in the hall.”Kids, the thinking goes, are where creativity goes to die. But Austin Kleon thinks Connolly got it exactly backwards.This month on the podcast, I sat down with Austin—author of the New York Times bestselling trilogy Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work and Keep Going—to talk about his new book, Don't Call It Art: 10 Ways to Create Like a Kid Again. This book is a love letter to his two sons, and a collection of everything they taught him about creativity.Austin spent his career helping people tap into their creative potential, Then his kids arrived, and he realised he wasn't the teacher anymore. He was, in his words, “the apprentice to the beginners,” the studio assistant in his own home, saving the drawings, keeping the paper trail, and watching two small artists figure out how to “let it rip.”We talk about why children aren't an obstacle to your creative life but an opportunity for it to grow, the gentle art of benevolent neglect, and how watching your kids create might be the best way to quiet your own inner critic—and re-parent the artist you used to be.Subscribe to the Podcast* Spotify* Apple Podcasts* YouTube* Pocket CastsWhere to Find Austin Kleon* Buy Don't Call it Art* Read his blog, especially the parenting tag* Subscribe to his newsletter* Follow him on InstagramEpisode ReferencesBooks & Essays* The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything by Sir Ken Robinson* The Idle Parent Manifesto by Tom Hodgkinson* Bringing Up Bebe by Pamela Druckerman* Several Short Sentences About Writing by Verlyn Klinkenborg* 100 Essays I Don't Have Time To Write by Sarah Ruhl* The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson* Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs by Sally Mann* Playing With My Son by Andy Baio* Heidi's Horse by Sylvia Fein* American Elf by James KochalkaFeatured Artists, Musicians & Innovators* John Baldessari – The legendary conceptual artist whose revolutionary “Post-Studio Art” teaching style shaped a generation of creators.* Creative Growth: Childhood to Maturity at MoMA – The historic 1939 solo exhibition tracking artist Dahlov Ipcar's development from a young child to an adult.* Lynda Barry – The MacArthur-winning cartoonist, author of What It Is, and professor of interdisciplinary creativity.* Ruth Asawa – The brilliant San Francisco wire sculptor who believed art education should be accessible to all children.* Eleanor Coppola – The visionary documentary filmmaker who beautifully balanced her own creative life alongside an iconic filmmaking family.* Brian Eno – The experimental ambient music pioneer whose philosophy centers on answering the ultimate creative question: “What is it that I actually like?”* Michel de Montaigne – The Renaissance essayist whose father instituted a spartan pedagogical plan, including raises with peasants and learning Latin as a first language.Misc* Cyril Connolly's “Pram in the Hall”* Jeff Tweedy on Making Art without ControlTimestamps03:10 — Pre-publication anxiety and “the gulp”: Austin's advice for a first-time author05:03 — Why a second book is like a second child06:04 — Austin's family: Megan, two boys, and a houseful of weirdos in Austin, Texas07:12 — A love letter to his kids: bottling the energy of two “cavemen Picassos”09:55 — Growing up in rural Ohio: pigs, county fairs, and a broad definition of creative work12:10 — Ken Robinson's “I'm drawing a picture of God” story13:29 — Puberty and the arrival of the inner critic14:31 — Milton Glaser's perfect combination: a mother who says “you can do anything,” a father who says “prove it”16:11 — Parenting tension as a guitar string: freedom, constraint, and Bringing Up Bébé18:50 — The story of how Owen held his pen—and the magic line that disappeared22:31 — Benevolent neglect: D.H.

The Presenter's Dilemma The presenter's dilemma is simple: should we build the talk around slides, or build the slides around the message? Too many business presentations begin with recycled decks, clever visuals, and a desperate slide shuffle. The better path starts with one clear message, a specific audience, and stories that make the idea memorable. Should presenters start by building slides? No, presenters should not start by building slides; they should start by deciding what they want the audience to know, believe, and remember. A collage of slides is not a message. The warm embrace of an existing deck is tempting. We plunder old PowerPoint files, pull in favourite charts, add new content, and then wonder why the presentation feels like a beast with too many limbs. In Japan, Australia, the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific corporate settings, executives often equate slides with preparation. That is the trap. Slides are support tools, not the thinking itself. Before any visual appears, the speaker must boil the subject down to one pungent, crystal-clear message. Do now: Write the central message in one sentence before opening PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, or Canva. How do you choose the right message for a presentation? Choose the right message by understanding who will be in the audience and what will hit the bullseye for them.The best message is not always the speaker's favourite message. The topic gives a clue, but the audience decides the angle. Ask the organiser who usually attends, which companies are registered, what roles are represented, and what outcomes they expect. A talk for CFOs at Toyota, Rakuten, Salesforce, or a Japanese SME should not sound identical to a talk for HR leaders, sales managers, investors, or startup founders. In B2B presentations, audience intelligence changes everything: examples, story selection, data points, objections, and the final call to action. Do now: Get audience intelligence early. Then choose the message most likely to matter to those specific listeners. Why are stories more powerful than raw data in presentations? Stories are more powerful than raw data because they give information context, colour, and human meaning. Data informs, but stories make people care. Numbers can be inert. A spreadsheet, table, or statistic may be accurate and still leave the audience cold. When data is wrapped inside a story, people can visualise the point. That is why presenters translate measurements into familiar comparisons, such as football fields, daily costs, customer time saved, or missed revenue per month. In sales presentations, investor pitches, leadership briefings, and training sessions, the story turns abstract information into something the audience can feel and remember. Do now: For every major data point, ask: "What story, person, image, or comparison will make this real?" How many slides should a business presentation use? A business presentation should use only the slides that strengthen the message; sometimes that means very few slides or even none. The goal is impact, not slide volume. Video meetings make this especially important. In Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Webex presentations, screen sharing often shrinks the speaker into a tiny box while the slides dominate the screen. If the speaker's personal brand, leadership presence, or executive credibility matters, that can be a poor trade. A senior leader presenting to top management may create more impact by using fewer visuals and speaking directly into the camera. This keeps attention on the human being, not the slide machinery. Do now: Cut every slide that competes with your presence rather than amplifying your point. How can speakers tell stories without relying on visuals? Speakers can tell stories without visuals by painting a scene with time, place, people, and sensory detail. A well-told story creates its own screen inside the audience's mind. Instead of showing a snowy New York image, say it was three years ago, heavy snow was falling, and the streets around Rockefeller Center were white. Add a recognisable person, such as Warren Buffett leaving the building in a thick coat and long scarf, and the audience starts building the scene themselves. This works in Japan, Australia, the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific because humans are wired for narrative. The speaker becomes the focus, not the slide deck. Do now: Build stories with four anchors: when it happened, where it happened, who was there, and what changed. When should presenters use slides? Presenters should use slides when the visual can be processed quickly and supports the story rather than replacing it. A good slide earns its place in about one second. Photographs with no words can work beautifully because they trigger curiosity and allow the speaker to explain the symbolism. Dense text, detailed spreadsheets, complex graphs, and tables of numbers often do the opposite. They drag attention away from the presenter and force the audience to read instead of listen. In executive communication, keynote speaking, sales enablement, and leadership presentations, slides should be visual allies. They should never become the main act while the speaker becomes the narrator of a document. Do now: Prefer simple visuals, strong photographs, and story-led explanations over text-heavy slide dumps. Conclusion: How should presenters solve the presenter's dilemma? The presenter's dilemma is solved by changing the order of preparation. First, know the audience. Second, define the one message. Third, choose stories and examples. Fourth, decide whether slides are needed at all. Finally, build only the visuals that help the audience understand and remember. When your personal and professional brand is on display, these choices matter. A recycled slide deck may feel efficient, but it can bury the message. A story-led presentation keeps the spotlight where it belongs: on the speaker, the audience, and the idea that needs to land. Meta description: Learn how to solve the presenter's dilemma by choosing message-first storytelling over slide-heavy business presentations. Keywords: presentation slides, business presentations, storytelling, executive communication, presentation structure FAQs Should I reuse old slides for a new presentation? You can reuse old slides only after you have defined the new audience, message, and story. Starting with old slides often creates a patchwork presentation. What is the biggest mistake presenters make with slides? The biggest mistake is treating slides as the presentation instead of support for the message. The speaker, not the deck, should carry the impact. Are stories better than data in presentations? Stories and data work best together, but stories give data context and meaning. Raw numbers often need a human example or familiar comparison to become memorable. Should I use slides in a video presentation? Use fewer slides in video presentations when your presence and eye contact matter. Screen sharing can reduce the speaker to a small box and weaken impact. What kind of slides work best? Simple visual slides, especially strong photographs with little or no text, often work best. They are easy to process and leave room for the speaker's story.

This year marks a major milestone for one of East Clare's best-loved community events as Scariff Agricultural Show celebrates its 80th anniversary.  To mark the occasion, a new Heritage Council-funded project is underway to document and preserve the rich history of the Show, and organisers are now appealing to the public for photographs, programmes, memorabilia and personal memories that tell the story of the event since its beginnings in 1944.   The Eight Decades of the Scariff Show: Oral and Community Heritage Project will create a permanent digital archive, capturing the experiences of volunteers, exhibitors, farmers and families who have helped shape the Show over the past eight decades.  Joining Alan Morrissey this morning to tell him more about the project, the public appeal and why preserving these stories is so important are Dr Tomás Mac Conmara of Mac Conmara Heritage Consulting, along with Scariff Show Committee members Paddy Doyle and John Blake.

Photography Historian and Curator Audrey Sands joins PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf to discuss her book, Lisette Model: The Jazz Pictures (Eakins Press Foundation). Drawing on years of research, Sands presents Lisette Model's rarely seen archive of photographs of 1950s jazz legends, including Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Percy Heath, Miles Davis, and Dizzy Gillespie. Sands and Wolf discuss the rise of fine art photography as a collectible medium in the latter half of the 20th century, the role of museums and institutions in shaping the narrative of photographic history, and the role of the historian in editing and interpreting an artist's work posthumously. https://harvardartmuseums.org/about/press-media/audrey-sands-appointed-associate-curator-of-photography-at-the-harvard-art-museums https://www.instagram.com/audreyleesands/  Audrey Sands is a historian of photography and curator who specializes in twentieth-century American photography.. She holds a Ph.D. and M.Phil. in the History of Art from Yale University, an M.St. in the History of Art and Visual Culture from the University of Oxford, and a B.A. in Art History from Barnard College. Since February 2025, Sands has served as the Richard L. Menschel Associate Curator of Photography at the Harvard Art Museums, where she oversees a collection of approximately 75,000 photographs and time-based media ranging from the early 19th century to the present. Her appointment followed a postdoctoral fellowship as Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellow in the Department of Photographs at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (2022–25), during which she contributed to the exhibitions Gordon Parks: Camera Portraits from the Corcoran Collection (2024–25) and the multi-venue Photography and the Black Arts Movement, 1955–1985 (2025–26). Prior to the NGA, from 2019 to 2022, Sands held the Norton Family Assistant Curator of Photography position at the Center for Creative Photography (CCP), University of Arizona—a joint appointment with Phoenix Art Museum—where her exhibitions included Freedom Must Be Lived: Marion Palfi's America, 1940–1978 (2021–22) and Farewell Photography: The Hitachi Collection of Postwar Japanese Photographs, 1961–1989 (2022). Earlier curatorial positions include the Department of Photographs at The Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the J. Paul Getty Museum. Sands has been the lead scholar on the work of photographer Lisette Model for over a decade, beginning with her Yale dissertation, “Lisette Model and the Inward Turn of Photographic Modernism.” Her most recent publication, Lisette Model: The Jazz Pictures (Eakins Press Foundation, 2025), realized a suppressed collaboration between Model and Langston Hughes that had been shelved during the McCarthy era, publishing for the first time nearly 200 of Model's approximately 1,500 jazz negatives alongside Hughes's original essay and new scholarship by Sands. Her ongoing research on flash photography—supported by a 2021 Curatorial Research Fellowship from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts—is developing toward a publication and exhibition titled The Shape of Light: History, Ethics, and Aesthetics of Flash Photography.

HT2627 - How the Art Is Built Painters usually start with a sketch, a visual working-out of an idea, a practice run, an experiment. They build from the sketch to the finished painting, step by step. The same can be said of poetry, theater, cinema, novel writing, most every medium I can think of. Photographs start with a fully realized image which the photographer then improves by modifying or eliminating things the camera sees in entirety. I'm fascinated by this difference in approach. I also think this is the main reason I'm resistant to AI photography. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!

ARCHIVE EPISODE: This is an archive episode with hosts Joe Giordano and Elena Volkova originally released in 2020.

What was the last thing you ate? This is the question we always begin our podcast episodes with. The reason is because we always want to know what the other is fixing and cooking! What's going on in your kitchen these days? What's fresh and good? One of our earliest episodes recounts everything in our refrigerators at the moment! That was a lot of fun to record.Part of what drives this interest in what we are eating is developing the ideas and understanding of what a day in the life of ancestral food looks like in a world where you may be the only person you know who is eating anything like an ancestral or ancestrally inspired diet. A world where once upon a time it would have been the norm to eat this way, but now you are trying to create a life, habits, rolling tasks, completely on your own, and without the benefit of examples from your childhood or the people around you or expert cooks who live nearby and can give suggestions and show you a good way to use up chicken carcasses or how to feed a lot of small children filling food day after day. And another reason why is - there is something intangible we learn when we travel to a place, stay in a home and break bread with someone. It is an intimate communion that tells us something about that person.For this episode, we decided to track our meals for an entire week so you could see the shape of them - where some were more interesting, some were new and exciting, and others were leftovers, scraps, things we were just trying to use up. An ancestral diet is often made up of the mundane and simple, but exquisite foods. Pure in their sourcing, flavour, freshness but simple in their preparation and humble in their serving.To create a supporter bonus, I reached out to our supporter community and asked if they were willing to contribute a week of their meals as well, to be published as an accompanying booklet to the episode. The incredible booklet for podcast supporters that accompanies this episode includes at last count 50 pages with about 20 delicious menus, real menus made by families eating ancestral and home prepared meals ranging in size from empty nesters to 7 children in the home, including a special weekend with 12 children to be fed!There is also an aftershow - we wanted to go over some details from these contributed menus and we were really pushing the limit on podcast length so we continued recording some of those discussions as an aftershow which supporters can find in the podcast feed.

What if the natural world holds mysteries we've forgotten how to see? In this enchanting and thought-provoking episode, Laurie Walthers explores Life in Nature Revealed: Real Photographs of Faeries, sharing experiences and images that she believes capture the presence of mystical beings connected to the natural world. Drawing from her photography and personal interpretations, Laurie discusses how moments in nature can inspire a sense of wonder, imagination, and spiritual connection. She explores the long history of faerie folklore across cultures and why stories of elemental beings continue to fascinate people today. This episode invites listeners to approach the subject with curiosity and reflection. Are such images examples of unseen realities, symbolic interpretation, or the power of imagination interacting with nature? Why do myths and legends about faeries endure through generations? And how does reconnecting with nature influence the way we perceive the world around us? Join us for a whimsical and immersive conversation that journeys into the beauty and mystery of the natural world—where folklore, photography, and imagination come together in the search for wonder.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

In February 1959, nine skilled winter hikers vanished in Russia's Ural Mountains during what should have been a routine expedition. When rescuers found their tent weeks later, it had been slashed open from the inside, and the bodies were scattered across the mountainside—some nearly naked in minus 25-degree temperatures, some with crushing injuries, one missing facial features. For over six decades, theories ranged from secret military tests to supernatural forces, but no explanation could account for all the evidence. Now, groundbreaking scientific research offers a chilling answer that's somehow more unsettling than any conspiracy: the mountains themselves.

It's a Sunday morning in July 2019 on a quiet street in Markham, Ontario. The kind of neighbourhood where nothing ever happens. Somewhere across the world, in an online gaming community, messages are coming in. Photographs. A confession. Players are staring at their screens, unsure if what they're reading is real, or just another disturbing joke from the guy they know as an online troll. But unfortunately, this wouldn't end up being just another joke. Because shortly after, four people would end up dead. A grandmother. A mother. A father. A sister. And the man who killed them is still inside the same house where he murdered them all. Menhaz Zaman had spent years building a lie; a carefully constructed fiction about university degrees, engineering careers, and a future that never existed. And when that lie was finally about to unravel, he made a choice that no one who knew him saw coming. Part 1 - We look into the background of the Zaman family, as well as the how the brutal family murders were carried out by Menhaz. Part 2 - We dig into the chilling evidence uncovered by investigators as they try to make sense of this senseless crime. Online messages, warning posts, gruesome images, all signs indicating that trouble had been brewing for a lot longer than anyone had expected.

A rambling, meandering episode full of happenstance reminiscences that barely ties in to the Antarctic history thread of this series through an encounter with Antarctic novel author Evelyn and an interview with Cam Hawley about the restoration of the Beech Staggerwing carried south by the United States Antarctic Service Expedition.   Cam spoke to me in a hangar at Wanaka airport during the Warbirds Over Wanaka airshow and the ambient sounds of Harvards and Strikemasters going about their skybound business outside offers a neat backdrop to our dialogue.  Photographs of the Antarctica connected airframes I encountered during my whirlwind South Island visit at the Wordpress site.  And some of the model Whirlwind Brian built and the model Hughes 500 I built during our evenings at his place. I don't often travel other than for work or family duties, so I loved every second of my time in Brian's company. No-one relying on me for data, consumables, or maritime services. No-one dying of cancer. A week well spent on every front.       

A Volatile Picture: War and the Political Work of Photography in Sri Lanka (U Washington Press, 2026) by Dr. Vindhya Buthpitiya is a groundbreaking ethnography that explores how, in the context of Sri Lanka's protracted civil war and its turbulent aftermath, photography has become bound to the Tamil political imagination. From state-commissioned images meant to surveil and rebel documentation of armed resistance, to the fragile memorials created from identity photographs of the disappeared, A Volatile Picture traces the making and moving of images across borders, communities, and generations. Studio portraits, passport pictures, family albums, atrocity photography, social media posts, and more act not only as records of loss and horror but also as vital tools for protest, solidarity, and the realization of alternate political futures. Drawing on transnational archival and ethnographic encounters and long-term fieldwork in northern Sri Lanka, Dr. Buthpitiya situates photography as both a volatile medium and a political practice. Photographs emerge here as incendiary agents—simultaneously evidencing and triggering violence, sustaining memory, and inciting new visions of liberation.This is the first in-depth study of Tamil photographic practices in Sri Lanka, offering a major contribution to the anthropology of war, visual culture, and South Asian studies. Richly researched and deeply humane, A Volatile Picture demonstrates how, amid devastation and displacement, photographs continue to generate truths, solidarities, and hopes that resist erasure. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

It's a Sunday morning in July 2019 on a quiet street in Markham, Ontario. The kind of neighbourhood where nothing ever happens. Somewhere across the world, in an online gaming community, messages are coming in. Photographs. A confession. Players are staring at their screens, unsure if what they're reading is real, or just another disturbing joke from the guy they know as an online troll. But unfortunately, this wouldn't end up being just another joke. Because shortly after, four people would end up dead. A grandmother. A mother. A father. A sister. And the man who killed them is still inside the same house where he murdered them all. Menhaz Zaman had spent years building a lie; a carefully constructed fiction about university degrees, engineering careers, and a future that never existed. And when that lie was finally about to unravel, he made a choice that no one who knew him saw coming. Part 1 - We look into the background of the Zaman family, as well as the how the brutal family murders were carried out by Menhaz. Part 2 - We dig into the chilling evidence uncovered by investigators as they try to make sense of this senseless crime. Online messages, warning posts, gruesome images, all signs indicating that trouble had been brewing for a lot longer than anyone had expected.

In this episode, Court sits down with pro safari photographer and guide, Richard de Gouveia, to get practical about what actually improves your wildlife and landscape images on the ground, from low-light decisions to vehicle positioning and daily image review. A lot is covered in this episode with so many wonderful takeaways, including best-practices when planning an African photo safari, conservation photography, the best gear, thoughts on improving your odds in photo contests and his advice for sharing photos, particularly on social media (he's got an impressive following).The thread that ties it all together is intention: making photographs that represent something, not just collecting wildlife sightings.Key Takeaways:Start with the end in mind - Plan safaris around what you want to photograph, not just where you want to go—build the itinerary backward from your goals. A great guide is your secret weapon - The best results come from guides who understand both wildlife behavior and photography.Stay longer, shoot better - Proper duration allows for better light, behavior, and storytelling opportunities. Low light is the biggest technical challenge - The best moments happen at dawn/dusk—so mastering shooting technique is critical. Gear matters—but only at the margins - You don't need top-tier gear, but you do need gear that can handle motion + low light.Big primes = power + constraints - They deliver incredible image quality and subject isolation—but require mindset shifts.Background is everything - Great wildlife photos aren't just about the subject—it's equally about what's behind it.Think in sequences, not single shots - As an animal approaches: shoot wide → mid → tight. This builds a complete visual story instead of a one-off frame. Review your photos daily (non-negotiable) - Why waiting until you get home is too late.Photography is about representation, not just aesthetics - How to get your best images to mean something.Court's WebsitesCheck out my photo portfolio here: shop.courtwhelan.comSign up for my photo and conservation blog at www.courtwhelan.comFollow me on YouTube (@courtwhelan) for more photography tipsView my camera kit and recommended camera gearSponsors and Promo Codes:MPB.com - Buy, Sell, or Trade Camera GearArtStorefronts.com - Mention this podcast for free photo website designBayPhoto.com - 25% off your first order (code: TWP25) ArtHelper.com - a photo community to learn, share and be inspiredArthelper.Ai - Smart tools to promo and showcase your art.LensRentals.com - WildPhoto15 for 15% off

Katie and Steve speak with esteemed copyright lawyer Nancy Wolff about the Ninth Circuit case Sedlik v. Von Drachenberg, in which photographer Jeffrey Sedlik sued celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D for copyright infringement related to her inking a copy of his photographic portrait of Miles Davis on a friend's arm and publicizing the process on social media. They discuss the Ninth Circuit's unique approach to copyright infringement in applying a subjective (jury-determined) test for substantial similarity based on "total concept and feel" and how that test may be in conflict with basic and established copyright principals.   Notes for this episode: https://artlawpodcast.com/2026/04/27/ninth-circuit-greenlights-tattoo-copying-of-photographs-of-miles-davis-at-least/   Follow the Art Law Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artlawpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@artlawpodcast Katie and Steve discuss topics based on news and magazine articles and court filings and not based on original research unless specifically noted.

The evidence seized from the Yearning for Zion Ranch reads like a prosecution's exhibit list assembled by the defendant himself. The Bishop's Record—a handwritten ledger documenting underage marriages. Photographs of Warren Jeffs with a pre-teen girl in ceremonial settings. Medical records showing dozens of children with histories of bone fractures. And the recordings: Jeffs' own voice, captured during assaults inside the temple he had built.Part Four of the Hidden Killers investigation into Warren Jeffs and the FLDS covers the full legal arc—from a hoax phone call that triggered the largest child removal in American history, through the public backlash and Texas Supreme Court reversal, to the 2011 trial in San Angelo where Jeffs represented himself and was convicted in under thirty minutes. We examine the Utah case that was overturned on flawed jury instructions, the moral and constitutional questions raised by the raid's scope, and the evidence that made the Texas conviction unassailable: the defendant's own voice, on tape, in the room.The jury heard what Warren Jeffs did. The FLDS faithful heard the same recordings and called it martyrdom. Same evidence. Two realities.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the Nancy Guthrie investigation, the evidence collected in the first hours — the DNA from inside the home, the doorbell camera footage, the physical items left behind — is either going to solve this case or it isn't. The determining factor will be whether the people who handled that evidence from the very first moment were equipped for the responsibility. The Adam Walsh case is what happens when they aren't. And it's the most devastating evidence failure in modern American criminal history.In 1981, six-year-old Adam Walsh was abducted from a Sears store in Hollywood, Florida. Two weeks later, his severed head was found in a canal over a hundred miles away. A serial killer named Ottis Toole confessed — twice. He described the abduction, the murder, and the machete he used. His description matched the autopsy findings. The Hollywood Police Department had everything it needed to close this case.Then the department lost it all. The bloody carpet from Toole's car — the most critical piece of physical evidence — was "misplaced." The blood on the machete was never lifted for testing. The car itself vanished from police custody entirely. Photographs from the original evidence collection were never even developed — they sat in the case file for over two decades. Without physical evidence, Toole recanted. He was never charged. He died in prison in 1996 serving time for other crimes.It took twenty-seven years for Hollywood PD to officially name Toole as the killer and apologize for the department's failures. John Walsh channeled his grief into America's Most Wanted, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and AMBER Alerts. The system his son's case broke became the system his son's legacy rebuilt.The Guthrie case is active right now. The evidence chain is live. Every person who touches it is either preserving Nancy's chance at justice or compromising it. The Adam Walsh case is proof — permanent, irreversible proof — that when the wrong people handle the evidence, even a confession and a cooperating suspect aren't enough to deliver justice.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre has a permanent investigation room inside the police station.  Tables are fixed in place, walls used for more than overflow, and everything that comes in is immediately sorted into where it fits or discarded when it doesn't. Photographs remain grouped by location, but the emphasis has moved to timelines and connections. Statements are broken down into components—time, location, observation—and those components are compared across every person who spoke. Anything that aligns is marked. Anything that drifts even slightly is flagged and held back from the core.  Is there a connection between the Austin Yogurt Shop Murders and the Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre?Sources: https://lascruces.gov/las-cruces-mass-shooting-unsolved-after-35-years/https://www.borderreport.com/regions/new-mexico/las-cruces-bowling-alley-massacre-still-unsolved-after-nearly-4-decades/https://kfoxtv.com/news/local/las-cruces-police-seek-new-leads-in-1990-mass-shooting-casehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Cruces_bowling_alley_massacrehttps://www.krwg.org/regional/2017-02-10/27-year-anniversary-of-las-cruces-bowling-alley-massacre?https://kfoxtv.com/news/crime-news/family-remembers-victim-of-bowling-alley-massacre-investigation-continues Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kinda-murdery-true-crime-murder-stories--5496890/support.Zevon Odelberg is a true crime podcast host and disability advocate.  Zevon has cerebral palsy and he wants Kinda Murdery to be welcoming community for people with disabilities and for people living with challenges of any kind.  Life can be hard, but being together makes it better.

Welcome to episode 579 of the Perceptive Photographer. This week, we explore the unexpected connection between the distillation of alcohol and the art of photography. This idea came to me when I was thinking about a visit to a local distillery mean years ago. I was amazed how the process of removing impurities from spirits mirrors the photographic journey of refining images to their essential core. So this week I thought I would talk about the “triple distillation” mindset and how distilling your images, your intention, and your creative approach can lead to photographs that are clearer, more intentional, and truly resonate. Whether your work leans toward complexity or simplicity, I hpe that you can find someithng in this weeks episode on the value of eliminating noise/impurities from both in your frames and your mind to make more meaningful photographs.

PREVIEW FOR LATER. GUESTS: John Batchelor and Professor Fitzhugh Brundage. SUMMARY: John Batchelor and Professor Fitzhugh Brundage examine 16 rare photographs of the Andersonville Civil War prison camp. Taken by Andrew Riddle, these images became iconic through later etchings published in newspapers and journals. (2)1865 CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS HEADED HOME, FARMWILLE, PA.

In episode 577 of the Perceptive Photographer, I wanted to offer a different take on how we approach composition that goes beyond traditional rules. Instead of simply arranging subjects within a frame, I wanted to start from the frame's edges and working inward. I stumbled across this concept inspired by Charles Traub's truism: “Construct your images from the edge inward. For me, the edges of a photograph aren't just boundaries—they're pivotal to how an image communicates. Edges create tension, define limits, and invite viewers into the scene. By consciously shaping what lies within these boundaries, I mark a slice of the world as significant and have the power to guide how audiences experience the work. Photography isn't just about lines, shapes, and objects. it's also about psychology and emotion. I've always loved the way Cartier-Bresson spoke about aligning the head, eye, and heart, and Robert Frank emphasized speaking to the humanity of the moment. In my own practice, I find that the best compositions are always intentional. They provide clarity and hold the viewer within the image rather than letting them get lost. If you want to strengthen your own images, evaluate them from the edge in. This shift in perspective can reveal distractions at the boundaries and lead to more intentional compositions. By constructing from the boundary inward, I've heightened my own awareness and created more engaging, meaningful photos. Rethinking composition from the edge inward transforms photographs from static arrangements into compelling experiences, guided by intention and emotion. Next time you frame your shot, let the edges take the lead on your composition.

Veins of Influence: Colonial Sri Lanka (Ceylon) in early Photographs and Collections by Shalini Amerasinghe Ganendra (Neptune Publications, 2023) is a pioneering monograph that brings a rich array of early images (specifically of Sri Lanka (Ceylon)) into the global discourse of photography, pairing a striking lens of visual appreciation with distinctly humanizing perspectives. In the context of colonial photography, “veins of influence” delineates the circulatory pathways through which images operate, tracing not only their material production and dissemination, but also the curatorial, creative, cultural, epistemic narratives they generate across time. The over 450 images featured are from the: Royal Collection Trust; Pitt Rivers Museum, University of Oxford; Royal Commonwealth Society, Cambridge University; Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland; Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; Rothschild Archives and, also by the famed Victorian photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron. (A little known fact is that Cameron spent the last 4 years of life in Ceylon and died there.) In addition to these UK collections, this publication includes early photographs from important local family collections and period publications. The collections are mainly those of influencers and the writing considers images by both studio photographers and hobbyists, for commercial and non-commercial purposes. This seminal publication is for general audiences and specialists. Ganendra's unusual analysis of these collections adds another layer of understanding of the viewing and imaging of Ceylon specifically, importantly also offering another approach to the understanding of colonial images generally. Shalini Amerasinghe Ganendra's impact on cultural development has been defined by nearly three decades of cultural programming including exhibition and scholarship, with notable focus on Sri Lanka. Ganendra is Sri Lankan born and lives in Malaysia. She read law at Cambridge University (1987) and qualified as a Barrister and New York Attorney. She was the first Sri Lankan specialist to be appointed to the Tate Gallery (UK) Acquisitions Committee (SAAC) and has served on numerous judging panels including for the Commonwealth Arts Award and as a nominator for the Sovereign Art Prize and Aga Khan Architecture Awards. She was most recently a Chevening Fellow at Oxford and has held visiting positions at the University of Oxford, including at: the History of Art Department, St. Catherine s College and the Pitt Rivers Museum. She was made a Dame of the Order of St. Gregory the Great (Vatican) in 2019. Learn more about your ad choices.

At the turn of the 20th century, Black photographers were starting to make a name for themselves. Photographers like William E. Woodard, James Van Der Zee and Miles Webb were opening and running their own studios. In African American art history, the Harlem Renaissance in New York is often celebrated. But Chicago played a role in that as well. Photographs of Black life circulated in local and international publications at the time, and the photographers behind those images focused on the community, intentionally. “The photographers know of each other and are in some ways competing, yet they're also really supportive of each other's work,” said Amy Mooney, art history professor at Columbia College Chicago. In our last episode, we explored the first art galleries in Chicago. Many of those “established” spaces were owned by white people who exhibited works by white artists. But that didn't mean skilled and prolific artists of color were scarce. Today, Mooney tells us more about the early Black photographers who opened up their studios to everyone.

For years, the relationship between Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein was framed as trivial and incidental, a narrative reinforced through repeated denials and aggressive spin from Clinton's defenders. That framing has unraveled as photographic evidence and documented associations demonstrate a level of proximity that contradicts claims of distance and ignorance, particularly Clinton's social interactions with Ghislaine Maxwell well after Epstein's conviction. The issue is not an allegation of direct criminal conduct by Clinton, but the repeated misrepresentation of his relationship with Epstein and Maxwell, which helped preserve Epstein's legitimacy and influence. By minimizing those ties, Clinton contributed to an environment where Epstein could continue abusing victims under the protective aura of elite association. That deception matters because power and credibility are currency in trafficking networks, and Clinton's stature provided both.The controversy is compounded by Clinton's continued evasiveness, including disputing survivor accounts such as those of Virginia Giuffre and resisting full transparency through legal processes. Deflections rooted in whataboutism or claims of unfair targeting miss the core point: accountability is not partisan, and scrutiny is not persecution. Photographs, documented social access, and contradictory statements establish a pattern of dishonesty that deserves examination regardless of political affiliation. The public outrage reflects frustration with a double standard that shields powerful figures while demanding silence from victims. This is not about sides or symbolism; it is about truth, credibility, and the real-world consequences that flow when influential people lie to protect themselves and, in doing so, protect abusers.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Prince Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein became one of the most damaging scandals to hit the British royal family in modern times. Andrew maintained a long relationship with Epstein that continued even after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution in Florida. Photographs, flight records, and witness accounts placed Andrew in Epstein's social circle for years, and his friendship with Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell further deepened the scrutiny. The controversy escalated when Virginia Giuffre accused Andrew of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager trafficked by Epstein. Andrew has denied the allegation, but the case led to a civil lawsuit that was ultimately settled out of court in 2022. The fallout forced Andrew to step back from public royal duties and relinquish his military titles, leaving his relationship with Epstein as one of the most damaging personal scandals attached to the monarchy.King Charles has faced a different but still troubling association through his long relationship with the late British television personality Jimmy Savile. Savile was one of the United Kingdom's most famous entertainers for decades and maintained close access to senior figures in British society, including members of the royal household. Charles corresponded with Savile on multiple occasions and reportedly sought his informal advice on matters related to charities and public relations. After Savile's death in 2011, investigations revealed that he had been one of the most prolific sexual predators in modern British history, with hundreds of victims alleging abuse spanning several decades. While there is no evidence that Charles knew about Savile's crimes, the relationship became another example of how figures at the highest levels of British society maintained proximity to individuals later exposed as serial abusers.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Alaska is the largest state in the union. It is also one of the deadliest places in America to be an Indigenous woman. Alaska Native people make up roughly one-fifth of the state's population but account for more than sixty percent of its recorded homicide victims. Four of the ten American cities with the highest per-capita rates of missing and murdered Indigenous women are located in Alaska.And for decades, a quiet, unspoken policy within the Anchorage Police Department — known internally as NHI, or "no human involved" — ensured that the women most at risk received the least protection.This episode is the story of what that policy made possible, and what a community of determined women did about it. In 2017, Brian Steven Smith — a South African national living in Anchorage — was arrested after a woman brought a memory card to police containing footage of him torturing and murdering thirty-year-old Kathleen Jo Henry, an Alaska Native woman he'd picked up near a Walmart and brought to a midtown hotel where he had maintenance access. During his interrogation, Smith voluntarily confessed to a second murder — that of Veronica Abouchuk, fifty-two, an Alaska Native woman from the village of Stebbins whose remains had been lying near Earthquake Park for more than a year. He was convicted in February of twenty-twenty-four on all fourteen counts and sentenced to two hundred and twenty-six years in July of twenty-twenty-four.But the case didn't end there.Photographs recovered from Smith's devices showed a third woman — appearing dead or unconscious, with blood visible, a man's foot standing over her body. Those photographs sat in a case file for five years. It took a community advocate digging through sentencing documents to find them and publish them. Within hours, the family of Cassandra Boskofsky, missing since August of twenty-nineteen, recognized her. Smith was never charged in her death. Her remains have never been found. In September of 2024, her family held a presumptive death hearing and a civilian jury of six ruled her death a homicide — the only official acknowledgment her family has ever received.Also discussed in this episode: the NHI designation and the testimony of former APD officer Michael Livingston, who spent twenty-eight years on the force and is now a full-time MMIP advocate; the missed opportunity when a woman named Alicia Youngblood told police in 2019  that Smith had confessed a murder to her, and police did nothing; the question of Ian Calhoun, a man prosecutors believe probably knew about at least one of Smith's murders and who has never been charged; and the HBO and Investigation Discovery documentary series "Lost Women of Alaska," executive produced and narrated by Octavia Spencer, which premiered February twenty-fifth, twenty-twenty-six.There are two rewards currently outstanding. Five hundred dollars for information leading to the recovery of Cassandra Boskofsky's remains, and five hundred dollars for information leading to the arrest of Ian Calhoun.

On Valentine's Day 1929, seven men were gunned down in a Chicago garage in an attack that stunned the nation. Photographs of the bloody scene appeared on front pages across the country, and the public reacted with horror. Even in Chicago—a city hardened by daily gang violence—the message was clear: this was different.City officials were under intense pressure to respond, and suspicion quickly fell on the city's most powerful gang leader, Al Capone. But proving who ordered the hit would be far more difficult than expected. And as investigators struggled to build their case, the fallout from the massacre would change Chicago—and Capone's fate—forever.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
