This week, former Manchester United, Sheffield United and Portsmouth striker Danny Webber submits three stories from his football career. Did Webber really install security cameras and fingerprint entry access to join an exclusive Sheffield United dressing room society? Did former Chelsea manager Avram Grant nickname him "World Wide Webber" after being impressed by his football knowledge? Or did Neil Warnock leave a voicemail pleading with him to ignore his reputation and sign for Sheffield United? Armed with photographs, football knowledge and plenty of suspicion, Karel and Anita investigate every claim before Webber returns to reveal the truth. Karel Prince: Lie Detector is presented by Karel Prince and Anita Abayomi and is a Sport Social Studios production for BBC Sounds.

We here at WKXL's NH Unscripted can never say enough good things, nor can we stop bragging, about “The Players Ring” in Portsmouth and so we asked Margherita Giacobbi, the executive director, to come by and extol it's many virtues. Topics included: It's history (The Players Ring operates in a historic 1833 brick structure in Portsmouth's Puddle Dock neighborhood), it's unique spot not only in size, but, in play selection, the “pitch night” process, intimacy of the theater itself, a brief look behind the scenes and a whole, whole lot more!*NH Unscripted is recognized as one of the Top 100 Acting Podcasts on the web and also featured in the Top 50 New Hampshire Podcasts list by Millionpodcasts.com*(Airs M/W/F @9am on 1450AM/103.9FM Concord, 101.9FM Manchester)

This week we sit down with the extraordinary Mursal Saiq for a conversation that goes far beyond food. Mursal takes us from a childhood shaped by war in Afghanistan and arriving in Britain as a refugee, to the devastating separation of her family at the UK border and the years that followed. She recalls the extraordinary places life subsequently took her — from Hackney to India and Italy, living on a fishing trawler in Portsmouth and even spending time with English showman families who couldn't pronounce Mursal and instead called her “Roger” — before eventually finding her place in food.Her route into restaurants has been just as unconventional. We hear how she immersed herself in American barbecue, eventually took Afghan-Texan BBQ to competitions in the United States and remarkably finished second at the World Food Championships in Texas — beaten by a team of US Air Force veterans. She explains how Cue Point was born, how it survived the pandemic and why combining the food of Afghanistan with the techniques of American barbecue became about much more than creating something delicious: it became a way of preserving recipes, memories and a culture she fears could otherwise disappear.And then things get fiery. Mursal explains why Gordon Ramsay's use of the word “authentic” infuriates her, and questions why an Afghan chef cooking outside Afghan cuisine can be challenged while celebrated white chefs are free to cook food from anywhere in the world. She reveals why her entire kitchen wears grey in protest at the hierarchy she believes traditional chef whites represent, discusses race and class within Michelin kitchens, the industry figures who told her to stop mixing conversations about race and heritage with food, and why she believes hospitality still excludes far too many of the people it claims to welcome. Funny, furious, moving and completely unfiltered — this is one of our most thought-provoking conversations yet.You can book a virtual demonstration with Quooker to find the right setup for your kitchen and remember, until the end of August, if you use the code GO TO FOOD, you'll get free installation and a free Quooker glassware set.

In today's chapters, HENRY COMES TO PORTSMOUTH!!! He meets the parents, befriends Fanny's sister, and reveals that he's been on some real good-boy behavior lately. Then, he joins the Prices at church and takes Fanny on a slutty little walk, and offers to take her home at the drop of a hat. Topics discussed include the distinction between “bois” and “boyz”, Darcy's behavior at Pemberley in relation to Henry at Portsmouth, Henry on the ha-ha vs. Henry now, the best kind of third wheel, whether doing good changes you, Henry's appreciation of nature, and Fanny as Henry's guiding light.Patron Study Questions come from Avi and Maddie. Topics discussed include what Henry's actions say about his character, and what Henry can do to prove himself to Fanny. Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include why Jane Austen has Henry visit Portsmouth, whether Henry is just better by comparison to his old self, why Jane Austen uses multiple POVs in this set of chapters, Henry's manners with the Bertrams vs. with the Prices, Henry as Logan, the motions of courtship, and Henry treating Fanny as a moral compass.Funniest Quote(s): “Fanny was most conveniently in want of rest. Crawford could not have wished her more fatigued or more ready to sit down; but he could have wished her sister away.”Questions moving forward: Are Edmund and Mary engaged? Will Fanny write to Mary asking for her and Henry to pick her up?Who wins the chapters? Henry Crawford

Lauren Atwood entered the world against all odds.Thirty-three years ago, the lifelong Seacoast native was born three months early as the product of an abusive relationship between her mother and biological father. In the ensuing years, Atwood bounced around from home to home, watched her mother bring home man after man, and became estranged from her real father, all while trying to live a normal life.But Atwood refused to become a statistic.After meeting her now-husband Chris in high school, Atwood paid her way through UNH, worked in marketing at Timberland, and started a successful blog that paved the way for Otter Creek Homes, the Seacoast's go-to construction & interior design company.From her office in North Hampton, N.H., Atwood joins host Troy Farkas for a wide-ranging conversation about the harrowing details surrounding her miraculous birth, why she was a "pawn in the game" between her mother and father, overcoming childhood trauma to build the business of her dreams, what sets Otter Creek Homes apart from other firms in the field, and the phone call she received last year that, for the first time in her life, made her feel free.If you or someone you know is fighting domestic and sexual violence here on the Seacoast, please find support with HAVEN.SUPPORT SEACOAST STORIES:⁠Visit the NEW ⁠⁠⁠⁠SeacoastStories.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ for our newsletter & LIMITED-TIME ⁠⁠⁠⁠summer merch drop⁠⁠⁠⁠!Follow Seacoast Stories on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get our new episodes every week.UPCOMING EVENTS:Seacoast Stories Dinner Club pres. by Partners Bank: Our largest Dinner Club yet visits Portsmouth on Wednesday, August 19! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book your seat at the table here.⁠⁠⁠⁠Seacoast Stories Dinner Club: We're in Newburyport, Mass., on Wednesday, September 3.

El año 2026 pasará a la historia de la ciencia y la sociología como el momento exacto en el que la posibilidad de interactuar con Inteligencia No Humana (NHI) o asimilar de forma oficial el asunto de los Fenómenos Anómalos No Identificados (UAP). Sin embargo, prácticamente ninguna infraestructura institucional ha evaluado el impacto psicológico, clínico y social de una revelación que altere la posición de la humanidad en el cosmos. Ante este vacío crítico, la Fundación uNHIdden ha publicado un marco de preparación pionero en salud pública a través de su informe general titulado "Plan de Preparación" (Preparing for Disclosure: A Public Health Framework for Paradigm-shifting Revelations). En este programa hablamos con el director del Departamento de Ufologia de la Sociedad de Investigaciones Biofísicas “Betelgeuse”, de Granada, Antonio Salinas, para que nos informe de este curioso “Plan de Preparación para la Gran Revelación”. HISTORIA DE LA UFOLOGÍA: EL VIAJE INTERRUMPIDO. El matrimonio formado por Betty y Barney Hill denunció el primer caso de abducción extraterrestre documentado. La noche del 19 de septiembre de 1961, mientras regresaban a su casa en Portsmouth, New Hampshire, relataron haber sido interceptados por una nave y humanoides en una carretera solitaria.Tras el suceso, ambos sufrieron graves episodios de estrés, pesadillas y ansiedad. Bajo sesiones de hipnosis años más tarde, recobraron recuerdos sobre exámenes médicos a bordo de la nave. Nuestro colaborador, el investigador y escritor Cristian Puig, nos trae uno de los episodios mas interesantes de la historia de la ufología, “el viaje interrumpido” del matrimonio Hill que abrió el capítulo de las abducciones. Y además: CASOS OVNI DE LOS OYENTES Y COMENTARIOS SOBRE LA XXXVI GRAN NOCHE DE LOS OVNIS En la noche del 31 de julio al 1 de agosto volveremos a vigilar los cielos a la búsqueda de objetos no identificados. Será nuestra tradicional “Gran Noche de los OVNIs”, en la que por encima de todo disfrutaremos del cielo y de la comunicación. En este programa os damos los detalles de los preparativos y hablaremos con Javier Lobato Bernal, que va a coordinar un grupo observación en Sevilla. También vamos a conocer dos casos de avistamientos de OVNIs reportados por los oyentes, con importantes documentos gráficos. Dirección, guion y presentación: Joaquín Abenza.

DC charging peaks at 105 kW with a 26-minute 10–80% charge, V2L supplies 2.3 kW and V2H is offered, and three packs of 50, 58 and 79 kWh are expected using the VW Group APP350 drive unit on the updated MEB platform rather than MEB+.EVGO GROWS IN TOWNS AND ON MOTORWAYSEVgo will add more than 500 DC fast-charging stalls at Brixmor Property Group shopping centres, covering at least 90 sites and over a quarter of Brixmor's retail portfolio, starting later this year at Barn Plaza near Philadelphia with further builds in Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas, many with up to 12 high-power stalls. Its highway venture with Pilot Company and General Motors, launched in 2022, has now passed 300 locations and roughly 1,300 stalls across 40 states and about 75% of the contiguous US, more than halfway to a target of up to 2,000 stalls at 500 sites, and on 5 August 2026 EVgo said it will add Tesla V4 Superchargers to its network.RIVIAN PUTS VOICE CONTROL BEHIND PAYWALLRivian switched off Amazon's Alexa across its entire fleet on Monday 3 August 2026, retiring Alexa Built-in from 4 August and leaving voice control available only through Rivian Assistant, which runs on Google's Gemini and requires a Connect+ subscription at $14.99 a month (about £11) or $149.99 a year (about £112). Previously free voice calls and messages now sit behind that paywall, along with the loss of Alexa-linked Amazon Music, Pandora and smart-home controls, though touchscreen and Bluetooth dialling remain, and the move follows Rivian charging for hands-free driving from April via Autonomy+ at $49.99 a month or $2,500 outright, despite Amazon being Rivian's second-largest shareholder.ID. BUZZ CARGO GETS CHEAPER, GOES FURTHERVolkswagen Commercial Vehicles has replaced the ID. Buzz Cargo's entry 59kWh pack with a new 58kWh unit shared with the ID.3 Neo, lifting WLTP range from 201 miles (323km) to 218 miles (351km) through cell chemistry and efficiency rather than extra capacity, while cutting the price to £29,995 excluding VAT, £5,655 less than before, with the £5,000 Plug-in Van Grant bringing the effective entry price close to £25,000 and Contract Hire from £239 a month. Charging peaks at 105kW for a 26-minute 10-80% top-up, the 79kWh version is unchanged at 277 miles (446km) and 185kW, and vehicle-to-load arrives across the range supplying 2.0kW continuously and 3.6kW peak at 16A/240V through a three-pin loadspace socket.KONA ELECTRIC GETS FULL UK EV GRANTHyundai Motor UK has moved the Kona Electric from Band 2 to Band 1 of the Electric Car Grant, raising its discount from £1,500 ($2,010) to the full £3,750 ($5,025). With a list price of £35,000 ($46,900), the model now starts at £31,250 ($41,875) with the grant applied.TESLA JULY EUROPE DATA SPLITS SHARPLYTesla's July European registrations diverged sharply, rising 86% year on year in France and 52% in Denmark, while falling 97% in Norway, 60% in Sweden and 81% in Spain, where just 131 cars were registered. Spain illustrates the underlying weakness, with Tesla up 19.8% year to date through July against a 34.9% rise in the electrified market, and Matthias Schmidt of Schmidt Automotive attributing the pattern to Tesla steering allocation towards incentive-rich markets such as Germany and France, with German volumes potentially jumping in the second half of 2026.UK BEV SHARE HITS 27.4%UK battery-electric registrations rose 49% to 43,547 units in July, taking a 27.4% market share according to NewAutomotive, while petrol registrations fell 8.2% and diesel dropped 10.6%. Chinese brands took 16% of the UK new-car market in the month, led by MG, Omoda, Jaecoo and BYD.BRITTANY FERRIES STARTS PORTSMOUTH SHORE POWERBrittany Ferries will begin using shore power at Portsmouth International Port from Monday with two hybrid vessels, activating a system completed late last year that had sat idle due to a delayed grid connection and months of negotiation over financial terms, since plugging in costs more than burning marine fuel. Chief executive Christophe Mathieu called it a milestone that unlocks the potential of the Channel's greenest vessels and makes the company a better neighbour to Portsmouth residents, while urging government tax breaks, as Portsmouth becomes home to the UK ports industry's first multi-berth, multi-user shore power system.US ARMY PICKS HARBRINGER HYBRID UGV PLATFORMThe US Army has awarded American Rheinmetall an 18-month contract to build and deliver next-generation uncrewed ground vehicles under Project Sustainment, using California firm Harbinger's Praesidia series-hybrid powertrain, which pairs a high-torque electric motor with a compact petrol engine that charges the battery but has no mechanical link to the wheels. Praesidia can export up to 350 kW to external systems, with 48 kW continuous from the engine and 15 kW split-phase AC from an onboard inverter, and Harbinger claims over 500 miles (805 km) on a full tank and charge, including roughly 105 miles (169 km) on electricity alone, with the architecture suiting silent-watch operation where acoustic signature matters.

She built a global fitness brand without investors, business degree, or plans for becoming an entrepreneur.When Eliza Shirazi graduated from UMass, she thought she'd spend her career working in public health. Fitness classes were simply a side hustle—a way to make a little extra money after work.Over the next decade, that side hustle became Kick It by Eliza, a kickboxing-inspired worldwide fitness community that has transformed thousands of lives through live events, instructor certifications, social media content to her 25,000 Instagram followers, online memberships, and partnerships/appearances with brands like New Balance, NBC's "The Today Show," POPSUGAR, and more.But as is often the case, things don't always appear as they seem.In this conversation with host Troy Farkas, Portsmouth's Shirazi opens up about the rejection that's shaped her, the sponsorship deal she lost just when everything seemed to be working, the imposter syndrome she felt training in the boxing ring with George Foreman's son, the nerves she felt before making the biggest media appearances of her life, and the terrifying uncertainty of watching the pandemic threaten everything she'd spent years building.This episode, which is presented by Degree Wellness Seacoast, is about much more than fitness. It's about betting on yourself before anyone else does, learning to separate your own dreams from everyone else's expectations, embracing rejection as a competitive advantage, and discovering that the biggest opportunities often arrive disguised as your worst setbacks.In this episode, you'll learn:Why losing her biggest sponsorship became the catalyst for her greatest growthHow George Foreman's son helped her overcome imposter syndromeThe surprising business lesson behind building a fiercely loyal communityHow one YouTube workout unexpectedly changed the trajectory of her careerWhat the pandemic taught her about resilience and reinventionThe simple goal-setting framework she uses to stay motivated during overwhelming seasonsWhy rejection is one of the most valuable assets an entrepreneur can haveTroubling health trends and why she refuses to lean into themSUPPORT SEACOAST STORIES:⁠Visit the NEW ⁠⁠⁠SeacoastStories.com⁠⁠⁠ for our newsletter & LIMITED-TIME ⁠⁠⁠summer merch drop⁠⁠⁠!Follow Seacoast Stories on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get our new episodes every week.UPCOMING EVENTS:Seacoast Stories Dinner Club: The club that's regularly attracting ~100 people heads to Amesbury, Mass. on Wednesday, August 5, and back to Portsmouth on Wednesday, August 19! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book your seat at the table here.⁠⁠⁠SPONSORS:Degree Wellness Seacoast: A new all-on-one recovery center is coming to North Hampton, N.H!

After being hurt in a major car accident, a Portsmouth woman tried handling her insurance claim on her own, like many people do. While she was still recovering and going to treatment, she got a call from her insurance company. They sent her a $1,000 check that she believed was to help with her property damage, so she accepted it. She had no idea the insurance company considered cashing that check to mean she settled her entire claim forever.Thankfully, she contacted us to help her with her personal injury claim. Because our consultations are always free, she had nothing to lose by asking us questions and getting us involved to advocate for her. We immediately took over communication with the insurance company so she could focus on healing while we did the legal work.When the insurance company claimed the case was over, Partner Bill O'Mara refused to back down. He argued there was no enforceable settlement because there had never been a true understanding of what that $1,000 check would resolve. With medical treatment for significant injuries, the bills were adding up. The reality was that $1,000 was not anywhere near what she needed to recover, considering the severity of her injuries. Our team gathered her medical records, documented the full extent of her damages, and fought for the compensation she deserved.Ultimately, we recovered the full $60,000 in available insurance for our client, which is sixty times more than the amount the insurance company initially offered. This case holds an important reminder: before accepting any money or speaking to an insurance company, give us a call. The conversation is free, and understanding your rights before you make a decision can make all the difference.ABOUT COOPER HURLEY INJURY LAWYERSCooper Hurley Injury Lawyers helps those injured in car, truck, and motorcycle wrecks or other serious injury and wrongful death cases.

Recording from Portsmouth, England during Oxford British Isles, Nancy continues reflecting on Chapter 13, Discipleship, from The Green Letters by Miles J. Stanford. She unpacks the liberating reality that the cross is not a burden to endure but the believer's place of complete emancipation in Christ. As the Father dismantles every false security and illusion, He is preparing mature sons who are grounded in Christ alone—sons who are dangerous to darkness, completely useless to religious systems & deeply inconvenient to the ways of man. This episode is a stirring invitation to embrace the ongoing work of the cross, allowing the Holy Spirit to strip away misplaced trust and establish an unshakable life founded upon Christ alone.

Recording from Portsmouth, England during Oxford British Isles, Nancy continues the Tent Talk Summer Reading Series with Chapter 13, Discipleship, from The Green Letters by Miles J. Stanford. She explores the inseparable relationship between the cross and true discipleship, reminding listeners that the cross is not merely the doorway to salvation but the daily pathway into freedom, fellowship, and maturity. Nancy explains that taking up our cross is not about enduring difficult circumstances but about embracing our identification with Christ's death and resurrection through intelligent faith. As the Holy Spirit applies Christ's finished work to everyday life, believers are progressively freed from self and brought into deeper fellowship with the Father. This episode is an invitation to embrace the liberating work of the cross and walk as a true disciple whose life is fully sourced in Christ. Thanks for Listening!

Recording from Portsmouth, England during Oxford British Isles, Nancy continues reflecting on Chapter 12, The Cross, from The Green Letters by Miles J. Stanford. She explores the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit, who does not create new victories for believers but faithfully administers Christ's finished victory into everyday life. Drawing deeply from Romans 8, Nancy reveals that mature sons are those who learn to live under the government of the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to continually apply the power of the cross to every thought, reaction, ambition, and circumstance. This episode is a compelling invitation to stop striving through self-effort and instead stand in intelligent faith upon the finished work of Christ, cooperating daily with the Spirit of life who forms sons for the Father's glory.

Continuing from Chapter 12 of The Green Letters, Nancy records from Portsmouth, England to explore one of the most liberating truths of the Christian life: reckoning upon the finished work of Christ. Drawing from Romans 6, she explains that victory is never something believers create through striving—it is something Christ first accomplished and now invites us to receive by faith. Through practical illustrations and rich biblical insight, Nancy reveals that reckoning is not pretending or positive thinking, but agreeing with God about what is already true because of Jesus. This episode is a powerful invitation to stop striving for victory, rest in Christ's completed work, and live daily from the life, love, and faith of Another. Thanks for Listening!

How does a tiny, hidden cocktail bar with no sign, no advertising, and (almost) no rules become one of the most beloved institutions in a city's history?Cresta Smith, the co-founder of the legendary bar The Red Door, joins host Troy Farkas this week to discuss the iconic Portsmouth speakeasy that shaped an entire generation of nightlife (and espresso martini lovers) on the Seacoast.From opening night in 2003 to her departure in 2014 and the bar's closure in 2017, Smith reveals the untold story of building a business entirely on instinct and word of mouth. She shares how a chance conversation with restaurateur Jay McSharry changed her life, why she refused to put a sign on the building, the secret behind their famous espresso martinis, and how The Red Door became the place everyone ended their night.But beneath the success was another story.The pressure of running one of Portsmouth's busiest bars... the mental toll of always being "on"... the temptations that came with success... and the unlikely companion that ultimately saved her.This isn't just the story of a bar.It's about ambition, identity, addiction to momentum, knowing when to let go, and why the places we remember most are often impossible to recreate.IN THIS EPISODE:Why The Red Door never needed a sign or advertisingThe business philosophy that's made Jay McSharry so successfulHow Portsmouth transformed into a nationally recognized food destinationThe secret behind The Red Door's legendary espresso martinisBuilding a cult following before social media existedThe hidden cost of success and burnoutThe dog that changed Cresta's life foreverWhy some places become legends—and why they can never truly come backCHAPTERS:(00:00) Portsmouth's Foodie Boom(01:02) Jumpin Jays Changes Game(02:06) Jay McSherry Playbook(08:48) The Red Door Origins(11:52) Designing Speakeasy Vibe(14:35) No Signs, No Advertising(18:12) Getting Through Loopholes(28:55) Big Musical Acts Who Performed There(32:00) The Physical & Mental Toll of The Red Door(34:20) The Dog Who Saved Her(36:45) SPONSORS: Budget Blinds + JOBTALK LLC(39:40) The Red Door's Famous Espresso Martinis(44:20) Leaving For New York City(50:00) How Portsmouth Has ChangedSUPPORT SEACOAST STORIES:⁠Visit the NEW ⁠⁠SeacoastStories.com⁠⁠ for our newsletter & LIMITED-TIME ⁠⁠summer merch drop⁠⁠!Follow Seacoast Stories on ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠ or on ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠ to get our new episodes every week.UPCOMING EVENTS:Seacoast Stories Dinner Club: The club that's regularly attracting ~100 people heads to Amesbury, Mass. on Wednesday, August 5, and back to Portsmouth on Wednesday, August 19! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book your seat at the table here.⁠⁠SPONSORS:Budget Blinds of the Seacoast!

Further reading: New species of extinct vampire-squid-like cephalopod When teeth grow on the body Fossil shark turns into mystery pterosaur Scientists Had Never Seen This Elusive Whale Alive—Until Now Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This month I wasn't sure what to cover in this episode, so I decided to just click on four random bookmarks of scientific articles that I've had waiting for attention, and we'll discuss them. We haven't done a four articles episode in a long time! The first article is from March 2022, and it's about the discovery of an ancient cephalopod. Cephalopods include octopuses and squid. Octopuses famously have eight arms, while squid have eight arms and two feeding tentacles. Despite its name, the deep-sea vampire squid is actually more closely related to octopuses than to squid, and a newly discovered fossil is an ancestor to both. The fossil is 328 million years old and was discovered in Montana, in the United States, in 1988 but was only studied recently. Fossils of soft-bodied animals are incredibly rare, and this one is remarkably well-preserved. All of the animal's arms are preserved, including the suckers, but instead of eight arms, it had ten. Scientists have long suspected that the ancestors of modern octopuses and vampire squid had ten arms. The vampire squid has eight arms and two feeding filaments that are vestigial arms. But this is the first fossil found that shows ten arms. The fossil is of an animal with a torpedo-like body shaped like a modern squid. Two of its arms appear to be elongated compared to its other arms. It's about 4 and a half inches long including its arms, or 12 cm. That's pretty much all we know about it now, but hopefully the fossil will reveal more information as it continues to be studied. Our next article is from October 2017 and is intriguingly titled “When teeth grow on the body.” It sounds horrific, but it's actually a study of certain catfish that grow bony plates with tiny teeth on their bodies as defense. Catfish don't have scales, but some species of denticulate catfish that live in South America grow bony plates that act like armor. Many of these plates are covered in thin little teeth–actual teeth, including enamel and dentin, with pulp inside. They're called extra-oral teeth, dermal denticles, or odontodes, and the study determined that they appeared about 120 million years ago in ancient catfish that hadn't yet evolved the bony plates. The teeth regrow when they're lost, and in some species, males grow larger teeth than females and use them to fight other males. Imagine biting someone without needing to open your mouth. Our next article is from November 2020, about more fossils. The fossils were discovered in a collection at the Sedgwick Museum of Cambridge and the Booth Museum at Brighton in England, and were originally found in the latter half of the 19th century by miners. A PhD student at the University of Portsmouth was studying fossilized shark spines from the collection when he realized they weren't actually shark spines. Instead, they were jaw fragments from pterosaurs. Pterosaurs were flying reptiles that filled many ecological niches that birds fill today. One of the species identified from the collection is called Ornithostoma, which means bird mouth, an animal that lived in the early Cretaceous, about 110 million years ago, in what is now Europe. We know very little about it except that it didn't have teeth, but it probably ate fish. But there were some other jaw fragments that didn't belong to Ornithostoma, and in fact don't match up to any known pterosaur jaws. It may belong to a new species, but the fossils are so fragmentary that there's no way to know for sure. The rocks that the fossils came from were completely destroyed more than a century ago during phosphate mining, so unless more fragments are found in other collections, we may never learn more about this mystery pterosaur. Our last article is from July 2022, and I have no idea why I haven't talked about it on the podcast before now. It's about Sato's beaked whale, also called kurotsuchi. It's a type of four-toothed whale with a short beak, and it's dark gray and can grow up to 23 feet long, or 7 meters. It was only identified in 2016 as being different from the two other known species of four-toothed whales, after careful analysis, including DNA analysis, of dead individuals that had been found washed ashore. Until the summer of 2021, no one had ever seen a living Sato's beaked whale. Then some researchers studying orcas spotted 14 of the beaked whales swimming together between Hokkaido, Japan and the Kuril Islands. The scientists recognized that these were unusual whales and they were able to get a small skin sample from one. Genetic testing confirmed that they were indeed Sato's beaked whales. Researchers think the whales may spend at least part of the year in tropical waters, since that's where cookie cutter sharks live and the whales show circular bite scars from cookie cutter sharks. Not much is known about most species of beaked whale, and Sato's beaked whale is especially mysterious. But at least we know it's alive and well right now.

Laura Fox needed a change.Late last year, at our 3S Artspace live podcast, the Foxglove lead singer and Maine Fox Marketing founder announced that she'd booked a one-way trip to Mexico, with no plans for anything besides returning just in time to record her first in-studio album in May. Seven months later, in another edition of "The Follow-Up" where we speak to popular past guests, Fox joins host Troy Farkas to reveal what she learned about herself from the three-month trip to Mexico. Plus, Fox previews Foxglove's upcoming performance at Prescott Park, and she takes us inside the recording process for upcoming first album, Maybe A Daydream. She also SOUNDS OFF on musicians using AI in the songwriting process, and the Seacoast lifer also explains why locals are so critical of newbies who move to the Seacoast.To learn more about Fox's upcoming performances, visit LauraFoxMusic.com.CHAPTERS:Recapping her Mexico trip & lessons learned (00:00)Achieving a lifelong musical dream (14:38)Inside the process of recording her first album (19:42)SPONSOR: Investment advisor David Higgins (27:40)The tricky part of writing songs about past relationships (29:37)Why it's "unethical" to use AI for songwriting (36:20)Will the AI train ever slow down?

1993 - Kittery, Maine. On a cold night in January 1993, an intruder broke into the home of 73-year-old Maxine Bitomski, killing the beloved widow in the quiet coastal town of Kittery, Maine. The following day, Maxine's grandson stopped by for a visit and made the heartbreaking discovery: she had been murdered. For decades, investigators revealed very little about the case, leaving the community to wonder why anyone would target the elderly woman. But behind the scenes, police say they had a suspect from the very beginning. In June 2026, Maine State Police arrested 59-year-old Daniel Jolly of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Jolly was 25 years old at the time of the killing and supplied oxygen equipment to Maxine through his job. Now, after more than three decades of unanswered questions, the case has entered a new chapter. For the first time, investigators have revealed key details about the evidence—and why they believe Daniel Jolly is responsible for Maxine Bitomski's murder. The work is not done: If you have any information on the murder of Maxine Bitomski, now is the time to come forward. Please contact the Maine State Police at (207) 624-7076 x9.

Fanny's in Portsmouth! We meet all the Prices, and they do not live up to our expectations; but more importantly, the Thrush has gone out of harbor. Fanny starts to feel that Portsmouth is not going to be all that she'd hoped for. We also learn that Fanny had another sister, Mary, who died while she was at Mansfield.Topics discussed include Fanny and William's dream home, the Crawfords' love letters, Fanny's rose-tinted glasses for Mansfield, the return of the fire symbolism, dirty martinis, the lack of good servants in Portsmouth, knife fights, and toasted cheese.Patron Study Questions come from Ghenet, Avi, Angelika, Linnea, and Sarah K. Topics discussed include our impressions of Fanny's family, whether Austen's portrayal of the Prices is fair, Fanny not fitting in with either class, all the new characters we've met, whether Fanny would be a different person if she'd grown up with the Prices, and a comparison between Henry and Frank Churchill. Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include a comparison between Fanny's first day at Mansfield and her first day at Portsmouth, Fanny's shift in status, Mr. Price in comparison to Sir Thomas, and what's going to happen with the characters we've left behindFunniest Quote: "But though she had seen all the members of the family, she had not yet heard all the noise they could make."Questions moving forward: How long will Fanny last here? How long will William stick around? Will Fanny befriend Susan?Who wins the chapters?

Come see us LIVE for a talkback after the 2 PM performance of The Betrothed on July 26th. The Betrothed is an absurdist comedy of love, ambition, and social expectation set in the 19th century and performed by an all-women cast. When her brother's broken engagement disrupts Kitty's plans to secure a suitor, she's forced to confront the rigid expectations placed upon her and schemes to restore order and ensure everyone gets their happily ever after. As romantic entanglements unravel and betrayals come to light, The Betrothed queers the classic marriage plot.

When the supernatural seeps into our world, it doesn't just leave behind fear—it can also leave sickness. From shadowy visitors to ominous dreams, some eerie paranormal encounters suggest that the price of witnessing the unknown may be paid in flesh and blood.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/SupernaturalSicknessREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/hp3ua63cFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: When the supernatural intrudes into our lives, it's not just our minds that are affected. We'll delve into a few bizarre cases where individuals fell gravely ill after brushes with the paranormal. Is it coincidence? Or something more sinister? And could these illnesses be due to the paranormal literally draining us of life? (Supernaturally Sick, Paranormally Poisoned) *** Helen Duncan made a living from conducting séances—until her uncanny knowledge of classified World War II tragedies spooked British authorities. (Britain's Last Witch) *** Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher whose ideas about mortality and utility extended beyond death. Bentham's wish for his body to be preserved and displayed as an "auto-icon" – so it could be seen publicly by all. And while his wishes were granted, it came with a few hiccups along the way… mostly with his poor head. (The Strange Story of Mr. Bentham's Corpse) *** Annie Dorman was discovered lifeless with a gunshot wound, sending shockwaves through her tight-knit community. Suicide seemed improbable, leaving detectives baffled and family perplexed. Was it a crime of passion, an accident, murder… or truly suicide? In a similar case, just a few years later, in the serene countryside of Greenwich, New York, the lifeless form of Maggie Hourigan is found, floating in a tranquil pool, speculation runs rampant. Were these cases suicide, as hastily concluded, horrible accidents… or sinister murders?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 17, 2024Weird Darkness gathers five accounts in this episode: people who fell gravely ill within days of a paranormal encounter, two unsolved deaths of young women in the late nineteenth century, a wartime medium jailed for witchcraft, a philosopher who arranged to have his own corpse put on permanent display, and the private oddities of history's most famous figures.It opens with the argument that anemia and anorexia-like wasting can follow a paranormal encounter within hours or days. The Franciscan monk Joseph McCabe, who died in 1955, catalogued dozens of people who developed anemia soon after nighttime visits he blamed on the Mesopotamian demons Lilu and Lilitu. Albert Bender, the Bridgeport, Connecticut man who launched the Men in Black mystery in the early 1950s, endured migraines, stomach pain, memory lapses, and sharp weight loss after three phantom figures ordered him to drop his UFO research, then recovered, married, and lived to 94. In 1982, a fourteen-year-old named Robbie watched a flat black shadow crawl across his bedroom ceiling in Beckenham, Kent, was hospitalized with meningitis, and months later collapsed from acute anemia. Jim Harpur opened his door to two black-eyed children outside Orlando, Florida in March 2008 and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes three weeks afterward. In Nova Scotia, Michelle came down with severe ulcerative colitis two days after a vivid Slenderman dream in January 2017. The longest case belongs to Alison, a seventeen-year-old in Texas who shed roughly twenty pounds in six weeks in 1998 while a tall, pale Woman in Black appeared at her bedside each night, starting days after she and two friends used a Ouija board; sea salt and sage spread through the house ended the visits, and she recovered.From there, the episode turns to two deaths that juries could not explain. Maggie Hourigan, a 19-year-old servant in Greenwich, New York, was found floating face-down in a roadside pool on October 20, 1889; a first autopsy by Dr. S. Walter Scott ruled drowning and suicide, but a second team found a head wound inflicted before she entered the water, and Dr. Scott later sued the New York Sun for libel over its coverage and won a $6,000 settlement. Eight years later and a state away, 18-year-old Annie Dorman was found shot dead in her half-brother John Dorman's farmhouse near Cobb's Creek, Philadelphia, on September 1, 1897; the rusty pistol that killed her sat unused on a high shelf the five-foot-tall victim could not reach without standing on furniture that had not been moved, it had been fired five times, and the coroner ruled she was shot by a person unknown.Next comes Helen Duncan, the Scottish medium nicknamed Hellish Nell, who produced ectoplasm and channeled spirit guides named Peggy and Albert at séances across wartime Britain. In May 1941 she announced the loss of the H.M.S. Hood before the public knew, and that November she described the sinking of the H.M.S. Barham, which the government withheld until January 1942. Authorities arrested her at a Portsmouth sitting and tried her at London's Old Bailey beginning March 23, 1944 under the 1735 Witchcraft Act; a jury convicted her on April 3, and she became the last person imprisoned under that law, serving her sentence at Holloway Prison while Winston Churchill dismissed the case as obsolete tomfoolery.After that, the episode examines Jeremy Bentham, the English philosopher born in 1748 who asked that his body be dissected, preserved, and displayed as what he called an auto-icon. Dr. Thomas Southwood Smith carried out the dissection three days after Bentham died on June 6, 1832, but his attempt to preserve the head with sulfuric acid and an air pump left it leathery and discolored, so a wax replacement by the French artist Jacques Talrich was fitted to the seated skeleton. The figure went on display at University College London, where students stole the real, shriveled head in 1975 and returned it after the university paid £10 against their £100 charity demand; the head later served as a soccer ball before being moved to a climate-controlled storeroom in 2002.The episode closes with ten eccentric routines of the wealthy and famous. Howard Hughes wore tissue boxes over his feet and wrote a manual instructing employees how to prepare and serve a can of peaches; Nikola Tesla fed pigeons in New York parks and called one white pigeon his muse; Salvador Dalí napped in a chair holding a key over a metal plate so its clatter would wake him; Marlon Brando dropped ice into hot coffee to drink it at once; Queen Elizabeth I whitened her skin with a mix of white lead and vinegar; Andy Warhol ate McDonald's nearly every day for two decades; Benjamin Franklin sat naked by open windows for what he called air baths; Michael Jackson traveled with a pet elephant named Gypsy on his Bad tour; Charles Dickens walked miles through London at night to feed his writing; and Albert Einstein gave up socks because his shoes already covered his feet.

A man reads about a murder in his morning paper over breakfast in his Piccadilly rooms. That should be the end of it. But something follows him from that reading — something that refuses to stay on the page. And when fate places him in the jury box at the murder trial itself, he begins to count his fellow jurymen, there there should be twelve, he counts thirteen... Dickens wrote this story with a title that is itself a warning. Whether you take that warning as a comment on the narrator, on the law, or on the nature of what follows, is a question the story leaves carefully unanswered. *"To Be Taken with a Grain of Salt"* was first published in the Christmas 1865 edition of *All the Year Round*, Dickens's own literary journal, as part of a collection entitled *Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions*. It was later republished under the titles *The Trial for Murder* and *The Thirteenth Man*. Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was born in Portsmouth and is widely regarded as the greatest English novelist of the Victorian era. He was also one of the finest writers of ghost stories in the language, and this story was considered the definitive English ghost story for decades, before M.R. James arrived to claim that title.

Fanny is going on a trip! Edmund has plans to go to London and propose to Mary, William returns to Mansfield, and Sir Thomas offers to send Fanny back to Portsmouth with him. Fanny hopes to get over Edmund while she's gone…good luck, girl.Topics discussed include Edmund's pride spinoff, Mary's daddy issues, the sexiest instrument of all time (the harp), whether Fanny is the type of person to adopt her man's opinions, Sir Thomas's real reasons for sending Fanny to Portsmouth, and Fanny's relationship with her family.Patron Study Questions come from Avi and Angelika. Topics discussed include Fanny's relationship to her mother and what it will be like for her at Portsmouth, and whether Edmund is willfully misunderstanding Fanny's emotions.Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include how Fanny's status will shift at Portsmouth, why Jane Austen is sending her there, why Sir Thomas sucks, the parallels between Edmund/Mary and Fanny/Henry, and what Portsmouth itself will be like. Funniest Quote: "It had, in fact, occurred to her, that though taken to Portsmouth for nothing, it would be hardly possible for her to avoid paying her own expenses back again. So her poor dear sister Price was left to all the disappointment of her missing such an opportunity, and another twenty years' absence, perhaps, begun."Questions moving forward: What will happen in Portsmouth? What will happen if/when Edmund goes to London? Who wins the chapters?
