Join hosts Mitti and Michelle as they recall tales of haunted nights aboard the Queen Mary, close encounters near Area 51, a record-breaking birder who can hoot like an owl, the rhinestone sparkle of Portland's 8 Seconds Rodeo, and the cuddly joys of goat yoga.

fWotD Episode 3047: HMS Queen Mary Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 7 September 2025, is HMS Queen Mary.HMS Queen Mary was the last battlecruiser built by the Royal Navy before the First World War. The sole member of her class, Queen Mary shared many features with the Lion-class battlecruisers, including her eight 13.5-inch (343 mm) guns. She was completed in 1913 and participated in the Battle of Heligoland Bight as part of the Grand Fleet in 1914. Like most of the modern British battlecruisers, the ship never left the North Sea during the war. As part of the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron, Queen Mary attempted to intercept a German force that bombarded the North Sea coast of England in December 1914, but was unsuccessful. The ship was refitting in early 1915 and missed the Battle of Dogger Bank in January, but participated in the largest fleet action of the war, the Battle of Jutland in mid-1916. She was hit twice by the German battlecruiser Derfflinger during the early part of the battle and her magazines exploded shortly afterwards, sinking her with the loss of more than 98 percent of the ship's complement.Her wreck was discovered in 1991 and rests in pieces, some of which are upside down, on the floor of the North Sea. Queen Mary is designated as a protected place under the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986 as it is the grave of 1,266 officers and ratings.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:30 UTC on Sunday, 7 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see HMS Queen Mary on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Salli.

Long before she was Queen Mary I, or more infamously to her detractors as Bloody Mary, there was a young girl, born a princess, the first born child of King Henry VIII to reach adulthood, Mary, by his first with, Katherine of Aragon, so what was Mary's young life like? Who was involved in her christening, spoiler, what were the many marriage prospects created, and did she ever blame her father rather than Anne Boleyn for what befell her? Well to discuss all of this and much more I am pleased to welcome back Dr Peter Stiffell onto the podcast for a discussion all about his favourite figure from history!

In this second half of the story of Mary Adelaide, Duchess of Teck, Alicia takes us through the family's financial exile to Italy - Queen Vic thought living in Florence would restrain the lavish spending the Tecks were known for - and the circuitous, flu-induced path that took Fat Mary's daughter from shy noblewoman to future Queen of England. Oh - and why some historians have falsely tarred Queen Mary as a kleptomaniac. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast.

In Hongarije groeit de verontwaardiging over het landgoed van Viktor Orbán. Een parlementslid is naar binnen geglipt en laat met video's zien dat het luxer is dan de premier zelf doet voorkomen. Beschuldigingen van corruptie vinden steeds meer weerklank, met als gevolg dat Orbán al een paar maanden niet meer bovenaan in de peilingen staat. Wat de politieke implicaties zijn van de onthulling vertelt NRC-correspondent Mark Middel. (09:06) Hoe Reform UK het Britse immigratiedebat bepaalt Operation Restoring Justice, zo noemt de radicaal-rechtse partij Reform UK haar plannen om alle asielzoekers te deporteren. Voorman Nigel Farage presenteerde zijn ideeën deze week in een onrustige tijd voor het VK: door het hele land waren protesten bij hotels die asielzoekers huisvesten. Profiteert Reform UK van de hoogoplopende gemoederen? En welk antwoord heeft de regerende Labourpartij onder premier Keir Starmer op dit alles? Te gast is Stijn van Kessel, politicoloog verbonden aan de Queen Mary universiteit in Londen. Presentatie: Sophie Derkzen

This episode is brought to you by Incogni! In the tangle of British royals to come out of the Hanoverian period, most aren't memorable. This is probably partly due to Queen Victoria's long reign, but there was a cousin of the Queen that she was quite partial to: Fat Mary. Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge was 14 years the Queen's junior, but she and her siblings were the cousins who comprised Victoria's friend group during her heavily restricted childhood, and Mary's age made her almost a younger sister to the future Queen. Mary had little use for the notions of how women were supposed to behave, especially royal women, in her era, and enjoyed life lavishly. Her weight was a concern to her parents from a young age, and when it came time to find suitors for their daughter, few were forthcoming. Mary wouldn't walk down the aisle until the age of 32, when she found a love match with Frances, Duke of Teck, a member of a noble family in Germany. The couple prospered - though never financially - and in this Part One episode, we talk about Fat Mary's childhood, and the childhood of her daughter, the future Queen Mary. Let's say that having a large and extremely gregarious mother was not especially to the liking of her shy daughter. Sponsors Protect your privacy from data brokers, scammers, and more with Incogni.

Holidays pop up and Huw completely forgets he's taking a week off. So apologies for that on my end. We dive into the recent nuptials of one of our hosts. We then go down the haunting of the Queen Mary as well as a few other special items. Somehow a rabbit hole takes us into the world of comedy. Marc Maron is on a heater going after everyone and anyone. We find our way into the newest hot topic of male cheerleaders. This will lead us into the battle of the Chrises and RFK jr taking some shots. Finally there are new words coming to the dictionary and we're surprised but not shocked with the results. Hopefully everyone is keeping it together in the madness out there, stay safe.
Steve Smotrys, managing director and senior vice president, commercial for the Americas at HX Expeditions, has decades of experience in the cruise industry — but his first taste of travel came in the form of roadtrips up the California coast. And his first time on a cruise ship? During his senior prom, onboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. In this episode of Humans of Travel, Smotrys reflects on his career journey, his passion for expedition cruising and how a pandemic-era social media post led him to meet his now-wife, Emmy. He also speaks about the evolution of the 130-year-old HX Expeditions (formerly Hurtigruten Expeditions), how the company is redefining what it means to explore remote parts of the world and why travel advisors shouldn’t be afraid to sell expeditions — even to clients who don’t consider themselves “adventurous.” This episode is sponsored by Travel Insured International.

This is a solemn and unusual episode, Nelson and Alexandra speak with Clinton Bonelli. They met their new Titaniac friend on the Queen Mary over Titanic Weekend 2025 and immediately found each other to be kindred spirits.Clinton's is a mortuary science specialist and death care professor, so Nelson had the idea to invite him on to Titanic Talk to tell us about the recovery of the bodies of Titanic's victims and how they were treated in 1912. It's well known that only one lifeboat returned to pick up survivors in the water, many passengers would have gone down with the ship and many didn't survive longer than fifteen minutes in the freezing water of the Atlantic.Clinton's background in funeral arrangement and embalming and his research on who was buried at sea, who was laid to rest in Halifax in the cemetery and whose bodies were returned to their families outlines, even in death, the unbalanced distinction of the classes.Follow Clinton on Instagram @clintonb1979 and @pedantictitanicSHIP OF DREAMS: TITANIC MOVIE DIARIES is on Amazon Prime, Apple TV etc DVD available on Amazon LINKS ~shipofdreamsfilm.com Facebook TikTok @titanic_talk_podcastYouTube...

Melvyn Bragg and guests explore typology, a method of biblical interpretation that aims to meaningfully link people, places, and events in the Hebrew Bible, what Christians call the Old Testament, with the coming of Christ in the New Testament. Old Testament figures like Moses, Jonah, and King David were regarded by Christians as being ‘types' or symbols of Jesus. This way of thinking became hugely popular in medieval Europe, Renaissance England and Victorian Britain, as Christians sought to make sense of their Jewish inheritance - sometimes rejecting that inheritance with antisemitic fervour. It was a way of seeing human history as part of a divine plan, with ancient events prefiguring more modern ones, and it influenced debates about the relationship between metaphor and reality in the bible, in literature, and in art. It also influenced attitudes towards reality, time and history.

Since plants have to mate and produce offspring while rooted to the spot, they have to be pollinated – by wind, water, or animals – most commonly insects. They use a surprising array of tricks to attract pollinators: striking colours, iridescent light effects, and enticing scents, to name but a few. Insects, on the other hand, do not seek to pollinate plants – they are looking for food; so plants make sure it's worth their while. Insects are also remarkably sophisticated in their ability to find, recognise and find their way inside flowers. So pollination has evolved as a complex dance between plants and pollinators that is essential for life on earth to continue.

Lights in the skies, sightings of saucer shaped objects, and the start of what eventually came to be known as crop circles. It's a mystery that still lingers today, and it appears to be a kind of catalyst for so many similar oddities to follow.
