This is episode 235, and it's back to high drama circa 1873. Before that just some news .. unbelievable as it may appear, Apple Podcasts has named The History of South Africa pod as one of their top ten Best so Far podcasts of 2025. They have asked me to say so, so this is saying so. An irregular musket salute is in order!! Thanks to my fantastic listeners for helping make this podcast resonate, I am truly grateful. And thus to our story this episode Cetshwayo Glamped and Crowned, Shepstone Stalled, Masiphula Poisoned, it's early 1873, and King Mpande kaSenzangakhona of the amaZulu has been buried and the process of selecting a new king has begun Cetshwayo kaMpande, his son is to be the new regent. Or is he? This wasn't a simple matter. Succession disputes had riven the Zulu nation from since Senzangakhona died, the last internal ruction had led to the Zulu Civil War and the shattering battle of Ndondakusuka near the Thukela River in 1856. I dealt with this significant moment in episode 209. Mpande was still king at the time, but Cetshwayo and Mbuyazi, his two eldest sons, were vying to be formally nominated as the king in waiting. Mbuyazi was defeated in the battle, vanquished and killed, leaving Cetshwayo in de facto control of the kingdom, though his father remained king. Mbuyazi's followers, including five other sons of King Mpande, were massacred in the aftermath of the battle. But some escaped. Succession had been murky ever since 1816 when Shaka had supplanted his half-brother and presumptive heir Sigujana. Cetshwayo may have been the eldest son of the King Mpande kaSenzangakhona and many of the izikhulu supported Cetshwayo, but Mpande favoured his next-eldest son Mbuyazi. One of the central characters of our story was John Dunn who had supported Mbuyazi, but switched sides afterwards and was helping Cetshwayo collect firearms by the early 1870s. When Mpande died, Cetshwayo would turn to the British in Natal for recognition, because he faced two major threats. One was the Boers to his north who had taken control over the disputed territory around northern Vryheid, Utrecht, and the foothills of the mountains below Volksrus, and the other threat was internal. Cetshwayo was beholden to some powerful Zulu chiefs in the north, who'd helped him defeat Mbuyazi, and most of these opposed Cetshwayo doing deals with the British. They were traditionalists. The British would disturb the indigenous rituals they said. Cetshwayo saw things differently. He was playing a bigger diplomatic game, aware of the wider powers at play. If he could convince Natal's commissioner of Native Affairs, Theophilus Shepstone, to ride into his territory and formally crown him king, this would keep the boers at bay, and simultaneously undermine those northern izikhulu who were conducting a whispering campaign against him. In this geopolitical tango, Shepstone understood this power game only too well — he'd been installed in 1846 as Native Commissioner and virtually ruled the black population in Natal — as well as trying to rule the amaZulu north of the Thukela.The once and future king Cetshwayo began to move in July 1873, just before sending word to Shepstone, the period of mourning Mpande's death now over. After gathering his amabutho regiments, he set off in full chief attire, having packed up his entire oNtini great place. Dozens of his isigodlo girls, his harem carried his goods and chattels. They travelled up the Mhlathuze River, into the thickets which held a vast array of wild game. Cetshwayo ensured that all protocols were followed, including the purification rituals of a Great Hunt, an iHlambo, where the King would be indirectly washed clean by the amaButho washing their spears in blood. All evil influences that had gathered force during the mourning period after Mpande's death in October 1872 would be dispatched.

Ever been killed by coffee? Poisoned by pepper? Drowned by molasses?! Welcome to the most unappetizing episode of the century. In this delightfully unhinged episode of For the Love of History, we're diving into the sticky, deadly, and downright absurd world of food disasters in the early 1900s. From lead-laced milk to spice-rack murder, we explore how everyday foods became instruments of death — all thanks to lack of regulation, industrial negligence, and profit-hungry robber barons.

Angela Craig was a devoted mother of six whose sudden illness shocked everyone who knew her. When she died after days in the hospital, doctors were baffled, until a web of betrayal began to unravel.

Starved. Poisoned. Locked in a castle tower. In Tudor England, one woman endured unthinkable cruelty at the hands of her noble husband—imprisoned in a tower, reduced to drinking her own urine to survive, and desperate enough to smuggle a secret letter to Thomas Cromwell begging for rescue. Her name was Elizabeth Hungerford. Her husband? Walter Hungerford—a man later executed for treason, sorcery, and what the records chillingly called “the abominable vice of bu****y.” But Elizabeth's story is the real tragedy—one of domestic abuse, survival against the odds, and a rare voice speaking out in an era when women had little power or protection. In this episode of Tudor True Crime, I uncover: Who Walter Hungerford really was The disturbing charges brought against him Elizabeth's smuggled plea for help And what became of her after his execution This is not just the story of a disgraced nobleman—it's the haunting tale of a woman who endured and survived. Let's give Elizabeth Hungerford the place in history she deserves. Have you heard of her before? Let me know in the comments.

Why Amy Murray Poisoned Her Husband With Antifreeze to Marry a Prisoner SHE Guarded Amy Murray was supposed to help people heal. Instead, she brewed up a deadly cocktail of antifreeze, lies, and fire. In today's gripping breakdown, we dive into the unbelievable case of a Missouri prison nurse who poisoned her husband, set their home on fire, and plotted a future with a convicted murderer—all while claiming innocence. Joshua Murray was found dead in his bedroom in 2018—but not from the fire that engulfed the house. A toxicology report revealed antifreeze in his system, and investigators say it was his wife, Amy, who put it there. Why? Because she was secretly in love with Eugene Claypool, a convicted killer serving a life sentence. And yes—she was having a full-blown affair with him while working at the prison. Prison calls revealed the twisted truth: Amy telling Claypool that her husband was “out of the picture.” That picture? A burning house. The motive? Marriage. But when detectives poked holes in her McDonald's alibi and found untouched food at the crime scene, everything unraveled. Amy Murray took an Alford plea, dodging a life sentence in exchange for a 12-year bid for second-degree murder. But here's the kicker—she's also facing sexual abuse charges for her prison relationship with Claypool. That case is still pending, and we'll be watching. How did a healthcare professional end up a murder convict? What drove her to risk everything for a killer? And is justice truly served with a 12-year sentence?

Send us a textPop in with Price Van Ray who supervises Hakeem and Reggie Brown on Pop City Culture. On Episode #206 we discuss:   what in the world is going on with plastics and microplastics.  This is something that could alter ou DNA and lifespan. This is scary stuff.   Lets see what is going on in this episode. ... "Pop City Culture"  Keeping it real and keeping it REAL and RAW!!!!!

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) released its 2025 Dirty Dozen list, a “Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce,” and it serves as a solid reminder that we still have a lot of work to do when it comes to cleaning up the food system. This year, the report found that more than 75 percent of non-organic samples tested positive for at least one pesticide.And get this: Topping the list on the basis of the level and toxicity of detected pesticides were green beans, spinach, bell peppers and hot peppers, kale, collard and mustard greens. In addition, blueberries remain, and alarmingly, green beans (which landed just outside the Dirty Dozen in 2025) displayed residue of acephate, a toxic pesticide that was banned from use on green beans grown for food by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) more than a decade ago. Plus, blackberries and potatoes landed on the list as new additions in 2025.

When Sydney detectives confirm star Balmain rugby league player Bob Lulham has been poisoned with Thall-Rat, they begin an investigation that at first turns up few leads. A series of mysterious phone calls to the CIB keeps the police wondering until they finally make a shocking arrest. While the identification of the suspect is sensational, what emerges at the accused's committal hearing has jaws on the floor in 1950s Australia — as it would be today.

Starmer has appeared more confident on the world stage but, for domestic audiences, this is small consolation when the public has perceived little change on the problems that have faced Britain for years.

On the 20th of July 1953, Sydney detectives discovered that someone had used rat poison to try to murder star Balmain rugby league player Bob Lulham. More than 70 years later, this remains one of Australian sport's most sensational, strangest and saddest scandals — and among the least remembered. In part one of this deep dive, we explore Bob's proud family legacy – his father fought at Gallipoli on 25 August 1915 — and Bob's meteoric rise in rugby league, which included his record-breaking 1947 debut season and him donning the Kangaroo jersey to represent Australia against England in 1948-49.Wanna hear the rest of The Poisoned Footy Player right now?It's easy to get a free trial that will give you access to parts 2 and 3 - and to a dozens of other ad-free, early and bonus episodes.

Chiropractor Brian Mann Convicted Poisoned Wife for $1 Million Insurance Scam An Alabama jury has found 36-year-old Brian Mann—once a well-regarded chiropractor in Hartselle—guilty of attempted murder for secretly dosing his estranged wife's “multivitamins” with lead and then taking out a stack of life-insurance policies on her worth more than $1 million. The verdict was read Thursday after roughly three hours of deliberations spread over two days. Mann now faces sentencing on August 27. Hannah Pettey, now 25, told jurors her nightmare began in August 2021 with crippling back and abdominal pain, dizzy spells, and relentless nausea. Over the next few months she shed 40 pounds, eventually hallucinating as her condition spiraled. Mann, she testified, insisted she stay home and keep taking the “immune boosters” he supplied from his clinic—capsules prosecutors say he spiked with lead salvaged from a construction project. While Pettey languished, Mann was busy buying “a lot of insurance policies,” each carrying six-figure payouts if she died. At least one agent testified the flurry of applications was so unusual it triggered an internal review. Mann even asked to raise existing coverage limits while she lay hospitalized. Pettey told jurors Mann appeared “the nicest he'd ever been” during her illness—bringing water, pills, and, crucially, ankle weights. She said he insisted she strap them on before doctor visits so the scale wouldn't reveal her drastic weight loss and jeopardize the new policies that required her to be in “good health.” When Pettey's mother finally rushed her to the hospital, specialists found her lead level hovering around 80 micrograms per deciliter—eight times the threshold considered dangerous. Physicians testified that any movement risked shifting pressure inside her skull; at one point, surgeons irrigated her colon to flush out residual metal. Despite aggressive treatment, Pettey still carries lead in her bones, suffers chronic hand pain, and has been told the poisoning likely left her infertile. As detectives closed in, Mann tried to cast himself—and even the couple's young children—as fellow victims, telling a nurse practitioner he'd spotted “lead fragments” in a self-administered X-ray. A hospital scan did show a suspicious mass in his stomach—but doctors said it appeared freshly swallowed, bolstering prosecutors' claims he ingested lead to stage a false parallel poisoning Pettey described years of manipulation: Mann deleted her social-media accounts, discouraged her from working, and limited contact with her family. Once the investigation began, relatives barred Mann from visiting her in the hospital—an action that initially left her “distraught” until the evidence of foul play became clear. Jurors convicted Mann of attempted murder, rejecting his defense that testing procedures were flawed and that he, too, had been poisoned. He remains in custody awaiting the August 27 sentencing hearing, where he could face decades in prison for a scheme prosecutors say was as methodical as it was merciless.

An epidemic of serial killers plagued the United States throughout the 1970s and ‘80s. The crimes were shocking, horrific, and vile, leading many people to ask themselves: What makes a murderer? The answer to that question may be an invisible evil - a poison that penetrated the earth, as well as the minds of these monsters.   Pulitzer Prize-winning author Caroline Fraser explores the cultural and environmental factors that gave way to this plague of violence in her new book, Murderland.
