The Football Legend Who Traded the Ivy League for the Front Lines: The Story of Johnnie PoeIn the middle of a major winter storm, with classes canceled and the wind howling outside, it's easy to find your mind wandering toward the macabre—perhaps to a certain Edgar Allan Poe story like The Cask of Amontillado. But while most of us associate the name Poe with gothic poetry and raven-themed football teams, there is a far more "rough and tumble" legacy attached to the family name.On a recent episode of the Pig Pen podcast, Darin Hayes sat down with Timothy Brown of Football Archaeology to discuss a man who was a second cousin twice removed from the famous poet: the legendary Johnny Poe.A Princeton DynastyJohnnie Poe was the third of six brothers who played for Princeton University between 1882 and 1901. In an era where the Ivy League was the epicenter of the sport, the Poes were football royalty. Johnny himself was a standout during the 1891 and 1892 seasons, consistently ranking as one of the team's top scorers.However, Johnnie Poe wasn't your typical Ivy League student. He wasn't destined for the quiet life of a district attorney or a businessman like his brothers. He was a man who marched to the beat of a much louder, more dangerous drum.The Wanderer and the WarriorAfter dropping out of Princeton following his sophomore year, Johnnie's life read like an adventure novel. He spent time:Coaching: Leading the teams at the University of Virginia and Navy.Laboring: Mining for gold in the Yukon and working as a cowboy in New Mexico.Soldiering: Seeking action wherever he could find it.Johnnie's thirst for combat was legendary. He joined the Maryland militia for the Spanish-American War (but saw no action), joined the Army to fight in the Philippines (still no action), and even joined the Marines during the Panamanian Revolution. He finally "found his calling" fighting in the Honduran Army, where he finally saw the direct combat he craved.A Hero's End in the "Black Watch"When World War I broke out, Johnnie didn't wait for the United States to enter the fray. He traveled to Europe and joined the British Army. Unsatisfied with being an artilleryman behind the lines, he transferred to the Black Watch, the famous Scottish Highlander regiment.In 1915, during a fierce battle near Ypres in Flanders, Johnnie Poe was killed in action. He was shot in the stomach, and due to the chaotic nature of the conflict, his body was never recovered. He remains "out there" somewhere in the fields of France or Belgium—a fittingly mysterious end for a relative of Edgar Allan Poe.A Lasting LegacyJohnnie Poe's impact on Princeton football didn't end with his death. Even before the U.S. officially joined WWI, Princeton established the John Poe Award for the team's top player. Today, after being combined with another legend's name, it is known as the Poe-Kazmaier Trophy.It's a remarkable testament to a man who was respected by everyone from common soldiers to future presidents (he once spent an hour talking football on the practice field with then-Princeton President Woodrow Wilson).Whether you find him brave, reckless, or a bit of both, Johnny Poe remains one of the most fascinating figures in the intersection of sports and military history.For more deep dives into the forgotten stories of the gridiron, visit FootballArchaeology.com or find Timothy...

Episode 51: The Unfortunate Pirate For over a century, "Annabel Lee" has been read as Edgar Allan Poe's final love poem—a haunting elegy to his child bride Virginia, written months before his death. But what if we've been wrong about the poem's true subject all along? In this episode, Mike follows a trail of evidence from a forgotten 1827 tale about a murderous pirate to the windswept shores of Sullivan's Island, where Poe was stationed as a young soldier. Along the way, he uncovers a family accusation that pursued Poe his entire life, a poem he was forced to burn, and the testimony of a woman who nursed him through his darkest hours. What emerges is a radical reinterpretation of America's most famous poem of loss—and a story about what it means to defend someone you love when the whole world has turned against them. The grave of Annabel Lee has finally been found. It was never where anyone thought to look.

Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre, as well as the genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career. Poe died in 1849, in Baltimore, under mysterious circumstances, but he left us with a legacy of tales of wonder and woe, the marvelous and the macabre.Theme music: Liberator by Man In SpaceTo comment on this or any episode:Send comments and/or recordings to journeyintopodcat@gmail.comPost a comment on Facebook here, or on X here

A murder Case That Has Haunted Us for Almost Eighty Years Black Dahlia. Carl talks with William Mann Every one has heard about Black Dahlia. It is a term bathed in mystery and mystique, but few know anything about the murder it is based on. In 1947, Elizabeth Short was killed, and her body was completely drained of blood and severed in two. Her cheeks were slit diagonally ear to ear. The crime propelled the press, and the LA Detective's office to search and accuse anyone who might have done the terrible crime. But no one was charged. William Manna New York Times best selling author and Poe award-winning crime writer, took up the case. He combed through the police reports and witness statements to give us all the suspicions and misconceptions that propelled a rapacious press and Hollywood to invent a myth. But the difference is that Mann believes he discovered the real murderer. He has written an account that will be the definitive source about the murder. It is not only a retelling of a horrible crime, but of a time that produced an unusual woman. Listen in on this fascinating discussion.

Bruno Nacci"Racconti crudeli"Auguste de Villiers de l'Isle-AdamCarbonio Editorewww.carbonioeditore.itPubblicato nel 1883, Racconti crudeli è annoverato tra i capolavori di Auguste de Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, aristocratico decadente e visionario, e figura di spicco della narrativa simbolista francese: un autore dalle molteplici sfumature che con il suo immaginario febbrile, ironico e profondamente poetico smaschera e sovverte il patinato mondo della borghesia ottocentesca, devota al denaro e al teatro delle apparenze. Questa raccolta di ventotto racconti è una galleria di visioni fulminanti e spietate, che ridicolizza le invenzioni grottesche della scienza, l'ipocrisia di una classe tronfia e superficiale, la superstiziosa fede nel progresso. Con una lingua raffinata e musicale, di sublime purezza, Villiers disegna un universo che, tra il fantastico, il grottesco e il terrifico, riecheggia le atmosfere di Poe e anticipa quelle di Lovecraft, lasciando emergere la spaventosa realtà di ciò che nell'accecante luccichio resta invisibile. Il suo sguardo feroce e crepuscolare incide con il bisturi della parola un corpo sociale che si crede integro, consegnandoci pagine di raggelante bellezza che mettono a nudo il volto più crudele della modernità.Auguste de Villiers de l'Isle-Adam (1838-1889), scrittore, drammaturgo e poeta, è tra i più importanti esponenti della letteratura francese della seconda metà dell'Ottocento. Malgrado l'indole riservata, fu sodale ammirato dei maggiori intellettuali dell'epoca, da Baudelaire a Huysmans, Wagner e Mallarmé. Tra i suoi lavori più importanti, i Contes cruels (1883) e il romanzo L'Ève future (1886), i racconti di Tribulat Bonhomet (1887), i Nouveaux contes cruels (1888) e il dramma teatrale Le Nouveau Monde (1883).Bruno Nacci ha curato classici della letteratura francese, da Chamfort a Nerval, in particolare Blaise Pascal, su cui ha scritto La quarta vigilia. Gli ultimi anni di Blaise Pascal (2014). È autore dei noir L'assassinio della Signora di Praslin (2000) e Cercate Claude (2025); insieme a Laura Bosio, ha scritto i romanzi storici Per seguire la mia stella (2017), La casa degli uccelli (2020) e il saggio Da un'altra Italia (2014). Ha pubblicato anche diverse raccolte di racconti, e per Carbonio ha già tradotto e curato La tentazione di sant'Antonio di Gustave Flaubert (2023) e L'eredità di Guy de Maupassant (2024).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
CHARLESTON GOTHIC Episode 4: Tekeli The Charleston Library Society has survived fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and war—emerging each time with its treasures intact. Among those treasures: the world's most complete archive of Charleston newspapers from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In this episode, we enter the stacks where a ghost named Hinson is said to wander, where Henry Timrod's blood-stained manuscript bears witness to a poet's final days, and where a century-old scholarly article waited decades for someone to understand what it revealed. What was Edgar Allan Poe really searching for when he visited Charleston's archives during his time at Fort Moultrie? For over a hundred years, the legend said he came looking for pirate treasure—the buried gold that would inspire "The Gold-Bug." But a 1922 discovery by a Texas scholar suggested something far more personal. Following threads that connect the Poetry Society of South Carolina, a Harvard-trained philologist, and the vanished stage of the Charleston Theatre, we trace Poe's footsteps to a secret hidden in plain sight—one that may unlock the strangest passage he ever wrote. The answer lies where it has always been: in the newspapers, in the archives, in the advertisements for a play called Tekeli. Sources: Books - Allen, Hervey.

JEFF NILES PRESENTS: The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe Here we commence the re-release of several audio productions from the late Jeff Niles, a prolific creator and voice actor, who is much-missed. Here, we present Jeff's reading of the classic Poe horror story, The Tell-Tale Heart.
In this interview, she discusses her book, Race, Politics, and Irish America: A Gothic History (Oxford UP, 2023), which inserts successive Irish-American identities--forcibly transported Irish, Scots-Irish, and post-Famine Irish--into American histories and representations of race. Figures from the Scots-Irish Andrew Jackson to the Caribbean-Irish Rihanna, as well as literature, film, caricature, and beauty discourse, convey how the Irish racially transformed multiple times: in the slave-holding Caribbean, on America's frontiers and antebellum plantations, and along its eastern seaboard. This cultural history of race and centuries of Irishness in the Americas examines the forcibly transported Irish, the eighteenth-century Presbyterian Ulster-Scots, and post-1845 Famine immigrants. Their racial transformations are indicated by the designations they acquired in the Americas: 'Redlegs,' 'Scots-Irish,' and 'black Irish.' In literature by Fitzgerald, O'Neill, Mitchell, Glasgow, and Yerby (an African-American author of Scots-Irish heritage), the Irish are both colluders and victims within America's racial structure. Depictions range from Irish encounters with Native and African Americans to competition within America's immigrant hierarchy between 'Saxon' Scots-Irish and 'Celtic' Irish Catholic. Irish-connected presidents feature, but attention to queer and multiracial authors, public women, beauty professionals, and performers complicates the 'Irish whitening' narrative. Thus, 'Irish Princess' Grace Kelly's globally-broadcast ascent to royalty paves the way for 'America's royals,' the Kennedys. The presidencies of the Scots-Irish Jackson and Catholic-Irish Kennedy signalled their respective cohorts' assimilation. Since Gothic literature particularly expresses the complicity that attaining power ('whiteness') entails, subgenres named 'Scots-Irish Gothic' and 'Kennedy Gothic' are identified: in Gothic by Brown, Poe, James, Faulkner, and Welty, the violence of the colonial Irish motherland is visited upon marginalized Americans, including, sometimes, other Irish groupings. History is Gothic in Irish-American narrative because the undead Irish past replays within America's contexts of race.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 5, 2026 is: marginalia mahr-juh-NAY-lee-uh noun Marginalia is a plural noun that refers to notes or other marks written in the margins of a text, and also to nonessential matters or items. // I loved flipping through my literature textbooks to find the marginalia left behind by former students. // She found the documentary's treatment of not only the major events but also the marginalia of Scandinavian history fascinating. See the entry > Examples: “Marginalia have a long history: Leonardo da Vinci famously scribbled thoughts about gravity years before Galileo Galilei published his magnum opus on the subject; the discovery was waiting under our noses in the margins of Leonardo's Codex Arundel.” — Brianne Kane, Scientific American, 19 Sept. 2025 Did you know? In the introduction to his essay titled “Marginalia,” Edgar Allan Poe wrote: “In getting my books, I have always been solicitous of an ample margin; this not so much through any love of the thing in itself, however agreeable, as for the facility it affords me of penciling suggested thoughts, agreements and differences of opinion, or brief critical comments in general.” At the time the essay was first published in 1844, marginalia was only a few decades old despite describing something—notes in the margin of a text—that had existed for centuries. An older word, apostille (or apostil), refers to a single annotation made in a margin, but that word is rarely used today. Even if you are not, like Poe, simply ravenous for scribbling in your own books, you likely know marginalia as a telltale sign that someone has read a particular volume before you.

In this interview, she discusses her book, Race, Politics, and Irish America: A Gothic History (Oxford UP, 2023), which inserts successive Irish-American identities--forcibly transported Irish, Scots-Irish, and post-Famine Irish--into American histories and representations of race. Figures from the Scots-Irish Andrew Jackson to the Caribbean-Irish Rihanna, as well as literature, film, caricature, and beauty discourse, convey how the Irish racially transformed multiple times: in the slave-holding Caribbean, on America's frontiers and antebellum plantations, and along its eastern seaboard. This cultural history of race and centuries of Irishness in the Americas examines the forcibly transported Irish, the eighteenth-century Presbyterian Ulster-Scots, and post-1845 Famine immigrants. Their racial transformations are indicated by the designations they acquired in the Americas: 'Redlegs,' 'Scots-Irish,' and 'black Irish.' In literature by Fitzgerald, O'Neill, Mitchell, Glasgow, and Yerby (an African-American author of Scots-Irish heritage), the Irish are both colluders and victims within America's racial structure. Depictions range from Irish encounters with Native and African Americans to competition within America's immigrant hierarchy between 'Saxon' Scots-Irish and 'Celtic' Irish Catholic. Irish-connected presidents feature, but attention to queer and multiracial authors, public women, beauty professionals, and performers complicates the 'Irish whitening' narrative. Thus, 'Irish Princess' Grace Kelly's globally-broadcast ascent to royalty paves the way for 'America's royals,' the Kennedys. The presidencies of the Scots-Irish Jackson and Catholic-Irish Kennedy signalled their respective cohorts' assimilation. Since Gothic literature particularly expresses the complicity that attaining power ('whiteness') entails, subgenres named 'Scots-Irish Gothic' and 'Kennedy Gothic' are identified: in Gothic by Brown, Poe, James, Faulkner, and Welty, the violence of the colonial Irish motherland is visited upon marginalized Americans, including, sometimes, other Irish groupings. History is Gothic in Irish-American narrative because the undead Irish past replays within America's contexts of race.

You know the story: the cruel Prince Prospero and his closest... and wealthiest... friends and acquaintances attempt to escape the "Red Death" that ravishes the countryside by hiding away from the rest of the world, throwing a lavish event celebrating all things hedonistic, only to be visited by a mysterious partygoer on a mission. Now experience Poe's classic chiller from a wholly different point of view: that of the evening's entertainment. Our season finale... Written by Edgar Allan Poe Adapted by MJ Willson from a concept by William Dufris Produced and Directed by William Dufris with Fred Greenhlagh Featuring the voices of Harlan Baker, William Dufris, Corey Gagne, Adam Henderson, Jen Hodgson, Paul Hodgson, Michael Howard, Caroline Keller, David LaGraffe, Alison Larkin, Daniel Noel, Jay Piscopo, Donna Postel, Lisa Stathoplos, and Tony Reilly.

Find the grave of Annabel Lee and you find the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe! In this episode, a hand-drawn map pulls us through a locked iron gate into Charleston's most overgrown churchyard, where legends gather like mist and names disappear into leaves. A lady in white wanders the paths. Sixty-four people have collapsed before this very gate. We follow the trail of Annabel Lee—the girl Poe loved, or invented, or summoned—and uncover the stranger story beneath the legend: a visiting scholar who survived war and exile, stood before Juliet's Tomb in Verona, and quietly planted a grave that may never have existed. The map points toward a burial—but the real treasure may be hidden elsewhere. What if the grave was a lie but the lie was true?

The filmmaker Amos Poe was a guest on the podcast on two memorable occasions. The first time we sat was in a podcast studio in the East Village; Episode 385 in the Fall of 2016. For Amos’ second appearance, we sat in the downstairs lobby of the Roxy Hotel in Tribeca outside the screening room; that was Episode 520 in the Fall of 2018. Poe was a major influence in the underground filmmaking scene of Downtown NYC —aka the No Wave movement— beginning in the mid-1970’s. Of that community, which included folks like Jim Jarmusch, Bette Gordon and Eric Mitchell among others, Poe was often credited as being the first to pick up a camera. He would go on to make such films as “The Blank Generation” and “Unmade Beds”. I had heard he was ill for the past bunch of years and had reached out to him about returning, but he understandably had more important things to do with his time. He passed away on Christmas Day after a prolonged battle with cancer and is survived by his wife Claudia Summers and daughter Lisa Poe.

It's been TEN YEARS since the Disney-era of Star Wars got kick-started with the Sequel Trilogy, giving us so many amazing new stories. It is only fitting that we revisit this special film that introduced us to new characters like Rey, Finn, Poe, and of course, Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. Does this film hold up ten years later? Was it a worthy way to honor the Original Trilogy and kick start this new era?Today we reminisce on the time leading to this film and the joy and positivity the journey to The Force Awakens generated.

My chat this week is with Andrew Li of Philadelphia's Franklin & Poe, one of the best shops in the US for serious quality footwear, denim, and more. I got to know Andrew over the last few years the old fashioned way—seeing him in person, sitting down, and chatting entirely too deeply about some boots and shoes and denim. Which is pretty much exactly what Andrew and team have done every day since 2016 with customers in Philly's Fishtown neighborhood, both at their original location and the new shop they had opened only days before we taped this episode. On the episode, Andrew and I chatted about that dedication not just to customer service but also creating a place for enthusiasts to find a real community, how to build out a top notch footwear brand list, the quest for a perfect white t-shirt, where brick & mortar retail is going and how it might thrive again, and his three pairs he'd keep forever if it came down to it. Oh and malls. We talk a lot about malls.Also sandwiches. Philly does good sandwiches.https://franklinandpoe.com/ Support the Shoecast, get full bonus episode access, and join the most interesting shoe-and-boot-loving community on the internet with a Stitchdown Premium membershiphttps://www.stitchdown.com/join-stitchdown-premium/A website.
