It's one of those sounds that instantly feels like New Orleans - bright, loud, historic, a little strange, and completely unforgettable. It's the calliope! Debbie Fagnano, the calliope player on the Steamboat Natchez, joins Ian Hoch to explain what it is like to play such a rare instrument on one of the city's most iconic boats? How do you keep a tradition like that alive?

Jetzt wirds herrlich ehrlich, denn Kim Fisher kommt zum Waffeln essen vorbei. Kim erzählt von Tennistraining in Hausschuhen, neuen Zähnen und warum Milchkaffee heute Übelkeit auslöst. Es geht um Survival-Skills bei Männern, Camping, Airfryer und ein libidofreundliches Leben in der gemütlichen 30er-Zone. Außerdem: Wie aus einem Abendessen mit Klaus Wowereit am Ende ein gemeinsamer Podcast wurde, hört ihr in der neuen Folge.

Wir haben nicht nachgezählt, wie viele Gäste Kim Fisher in ihren insgesamt fast 20 Jahren bei der MDR-Talkshow "Riverboat" schon begrüßt hat. Fest steht jedoch, dass jedem einzelnen von ihnen eine charmante wie zugewandte Moderatorin begegnet - beste Voraussetzungen also für ein gutes Gespräch, das bei uns jedoch mit einem Rollenwechsel stattfindet. Auf dem Roten Sofa lassen wir uns von Fisher berichten, wie ihre Karriere Ende der 1980er-Jahre als Sängerin begann und wo sie und Klaus Wowereit sich über den Weg gelaufen sind. Mit Berlins ehemaligen Regierenden Bürgermeister verbindet sie nicht nur eine langjährige Freundschaft, sondern aktuell auch der launige gemeinsame RBB-Podcast "Kim & Klaus".

The Yukon River is famous for its remoteness and scenic vistas and history, where very little may seem to happen – but in 1906, one man's lack of situational awareness and fine-motor skills created the greatest, cattle-based pyrotechnics display the world had ever seen. On today's episode:  you will see how miners and prostitutes used to travel in style in the far sub-Arctic North; you will hear about what may be the clumsiest bad-day-at-work episode we've ever discussed; and you will find out at what point an incinerating cow flips from piquing your appetite to inducing eye-watering vomit.And if you had been listening on Patreon… you would learn about the most unusual haunted home ever built in the history of human habitation; you would hear how today's story could be considered more punishing than the Uruguayan Rugby Disaster, the Greeley Arctic Disaster and the Donner Party; and you would hear the debunked tale of a man in full diving gear who became part of a forest fire.I love getting to visit new and exotic places around the globe, but being chained to an office chair ten feet from where I sleep means these stories can be as close as I'll ever get  to visit it, in the theatre of my mind, and I'm unendingly appreciative to listeners who provide the suggestions that let me do that. The Yukon River sits about 4,400 km (about 2,735 miles) from my door, so it's a little far, but this is our first trip to the Yukon, and I couldn't have been more excited by it. This absolutely bug-nuts story came courtesy of listener, Jonny Wilkie, a resident, and he inspired me to want to incorporate more minisodes from story suggestions you've all supplied that didn't have enough beef on them to inflate into a full episode, but are just too damn good not to want to share. Also, this came out about 30% shorter than a regular episode, so they're not-so-minisodes. No matter.I was going to add a cooking segment to today's story, but opted for the quick and benign details of an open-air BBQ that flambés metric tons of food a lot quicker and grosser than you'd think. I settled for the details of the worst nature hike anyone's ever attempted on this show. And that includes the students of Wolf Creek and the Uruguayan Rugby Team. Gun safety will play an important role in our story too. I will make the point how a single bullet can cause a lot of harm, and then we're going to back it up, mark my words.–––––THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn't exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it's been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone. I don't do this for you, so much as I do this because of you.

One fine day in October of 1891, a teenage boy named Aquilla Ernest Clark left the farm in Scappoose where he'd been working, headed for Portland. He was going to see the sights and maybe show himself a good time for a few days. He wandered around the waterfront, taking drinks here and there and probably taking a hand in a card game or two; then, when it was getting close to evening, he met a pleasant fellow who happened to mention that he was staying at the sailors' boardinghouse at Second and Glisan streets. “It's the best place to stay in Portland,” he said. That sounded good; Aquilla needed a place to stay for the night. So he went with his new friend to the boardinghouse. “The place was rather dimly lighted,” Aquilla told author Stewart Holbrook, years later, in a 1933 interview for the Portland Sunday Oregonian. “A Scandinavian was playing an accordion in the big main room on the ground floor; several old-time seamen, or at least I took them to be such, were sitting in chairs around the room, smoking pipes that reeked to the skies and telling how these new-fangled steamboats would never amount to much.” It was good enough for Aquilla. He checked in.... (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/20-10.aquilla-clark-shanghaied-590.html)

Send us a textInteresting things about the distillery:Said to be America's oldest continually maintained brand of whiskey, it was founded in West Overton, Pennsylvania, in 1810.Old Overholt is a rye whiskey distilled by A. Overholt & Co., currently a subsidiary of Beam Suntory, which is a subsidiary of Suntory Holdings of Osaka, Japan. It is currently distilled at the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, KYHenry Oberholzer (Anglicized to “Overholt”), a German Mennonite farmer, moved to West Overton, Pennsylvania, on the banks of Jacobs Creek in Western Pennsylvania in 1800.  His family came from the area of Germany which specialized in distilling “korn”, or rye whiskey, and Henry took up the tradition.In 1810, Henry's son took over the management of the distillery and made it into a business. By the 1820s, the distillery was putting out 12 to 15 gallons of rye whiskey per day. By 1859, Overholt incorporated his business as “A. Overholt & Co.” He operated out of a new distillery building that was six stories high, 100 feet long, and which could produce 860 gallons per day.Old Overholt was one of six distilleries allowed to continue issuing bottled-in-bond, government stamped, pints with a dosage cup atop the cap and doctor's prescription attached to the back.Maybe because Andrew Mellon was a partner in the business and he was the secretary of the treasury under HardingMellon Sold his shares in 1925 due to concerns from prohabisionists Beam bought out the old overholt in 1986, when they made the purchase of Dekuyper Peachtree Schnapps. This was during a time when brown liquor was frowned upon and clear liquors were in. Our Bottle:Pipe Pairings: 80 proof- Cornell and Diehl gentleman caller. BIB- eight state burley Cornell and Diel 114 - peterson Hyde Park10 year- Irish Flake by petersonMonogahela Rye- Cornell and Diehl riverboat gamblerCocktails:Research Sourceshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Overholt https://whiskyadvocate.com/old-monongahela-rye Support the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!

Paddlewheel riverboats and fancy bordello girls seem like a match made in pop-culture heaven, don't they? Plush “parlour houses” and luxurious riverboats both were common in the “naughty nineties,” and both represented probably the closest thing to luxury a working man or woman would find in a frontier waterfront city like Portland or San Francisco, or even St. Louis or New Orleans. And yeah, there were times when the twain did meet in real life. Naïve farmboy Aquilla Ernest Clark was lured into the clutches of Portland shanghaier Larry Sullivan by a flock of beautiful, friendly ladies obviously hired for the purpose, who joined him and eight other victims on a chartered riverboat for what they thought was a “birthday party” cruise. (Here's a link to that story.) And who can forget Eliza “Boneyard Mary” Bunets, the 40-year-old solo practitioner who apparently entertained her customers aboard mothballed sternwheelers in the Oregon Steam & Navigation Co.'s “boneyard” at the foot of Flanders Street? (Here's a link to that one.) But the combination seems to have reached its peak in the case of a Portland madam named Nancy Boggs, who actually operated a bordello aboard a 40-by-80-foot barge anchored in the middle of the Willamette River, in the early 1880s.... (Portland, Multnomah County; 1880s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2502b1007d.nancy-boggs-floating-bordello-688.120.html)

Since the Alabama Riverboat Brawl dubbed (Cinco Agosto) has occurred, there's been some chatter and activity going on. Let's discuss what took place thus far since the brawl, enjoy! Join the discussion Live, link will be provided but you must show your face to get in on the discussion.

Back in the 1800s, a fire on a riverboat was a very serious matter, and not as rare as you might think. Riverboats were made of wood and powered by steam boilers, so there was always a fire on board. If powered by coal, there was coal dust to worry about; if, in later times, by oil, the engine room was often soaked with flammable liquids. The stories of paddlewheel riverboats on American rivers are peppered with tales of fires breaking out on them and quickly surging out of control, and nearly all such anecdotes come with a body count. Oregon's most famous riverboat fire has a body count, too. It's 1. But it unquestionably would have been a lot higher than that, if not for the quick thinking and clear decisionmaking of its legendary skipper — and, probably more importantly, his instant unwillingness to gamble his passengers' lives to try and save his boat. THE BOAT THAT burned was a legend in its own time, and that  legend has only grown since. (Astoria, Clatsop County; 1880s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2503d1111a.heroic-captain-scott-telephone-694.145.html)

Thanks to Bob Irving, millions have seen Chicago's skyline from the best seat in the house — the river. He created the Chicago Architecture Center's boat tours, which are now a staple of the city's tourism industry. Irving died earlier this month at the age of 93.

#156 - Chris Nance's life reads like an adventure novel where dropping out of school at 13 somehow leads to piloting massive ships down the Mississippi River and co-founding a successful coffee company. Growing up just south of New Orleans in a family of riverboat pilots and commercial fishermen, Chris's education took an unexpected turn after Hurricane Katrina when his mother discontinued homeschooling. Shortly after, his father was imprisoned for tax evasion, pushing Chris into the challenging world of commercial fishing before he could even drive.The heart of Chris's early journey involves "koonin oysters" – a grueling harvesting method where he crawled through deep mud on hands and knees, using specialized tools to collect oysters from tidal flats. By day's end, he'd be pushing 1,500 pounds of oysters through mud. This backbreaking work built the foundation of grit and determination that would define his future success.What makes Chris's story truly remarkable is his educational trajectory. Despite having only a GED and significant insecurities about his academic abilities, Chris was encouraged by mentors to pursue higher education. In a decisive moment aboard a tugboat, a captain convinced him he could succeed at Texas A&M Maritime Academy. Within days, Chris had relocated to Galveston and begun classes, ultimately completing his degree in just three years while taking up to 31 credit hours per semester.Today, Chris navigates massive international vessels along the treacherous Mississippi River as a riverboat pilot and has co-founded Backbone Coffee Company with fellow outdoorsmen. The specialty coffee company roasts to order and aims to honor hardworking Americans building the country. For Chris, adventure must be both difficult and unknown – a philosophy that has guided his extraordinary journey from the muddy oyster beds to the helm of international shipping.Ready to try premium coffee from someone who understands hard work?

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - It's time to take a leisurely cruise around the Rivers of America as we head to Magic Kingdom to ride the Liberty Square Riverboat on this episode of Attraction Checklist. Attraction audio recorded on June 6, 2024. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we're going to hop aboard the Liberty Belle for a cruise on the Liberty Square Riverboat. The Walt Disney World website describes this attraction saying: Cruise the scenic Rivers of America aboard an authentic steam-powered paddle wheeler.  There are no age or height requirements for this attraction and the thrill level describes the attraction as being a slow ride. Before we shove off, here are five fast facts about the Liberty Square Riverboat in Magic Kingdom. 1. The Liberty Square Riverboat attraction opened at Walt Disney World on October 2, 1971.  The first boat that served was called the Admiral Joe Fowler, named after Joe Fowler who was in charge of construction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.  In 1973, a second river boat was added named the Richard F. Irvine.  In 1986, that boat was renamed to Liberty Belle which still runs the Rivers of America today.  An interesting note is that the original boat, the Admiral Joe Fowler was damaged in a dry dock incident and was retired in 1980.   2. The Liberty Belle is a steam-powered sternwheeler replica.  Sternwheeler means there is one paddle wheel on the rear or stern of the ship.  A steam engine pulled water from the river to turn into steam to power the paddlewheel. 3.  The Liberty Belle is 47 feet tall and features four decks for guests to visit during the ride. 4. During the 17 minute trip, a narrator, in the in the voice of Mark Twain points out the sights guests see as they travel down the river including an early American settlement, a Native American village and Big Thunder Mountain. 5.

Kim recently took her two girls to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando for a mother-daughter getaway. Hear more about her trip, learn some strategies for using Lightning Lane, new rides, new theme parks coming, and comparisons between the parks. It was hot, humid, and rainy in the afternoons, but they still had a fun time exploring all the parks. Luckily, Universal Orlando has more indoor rides that help on rainy days. Updates from Walt Disney World Tron in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom - it is like riding a motorcycle but on a roller coaster track. The ride is fabulous but really short. Splash Mountain is now Tiana's Bayou Adventure - this is a two-by-two flume-like ride that has been redesigned. Disney now has Lightning Lane Multi Experience and Lightning Lane Single Experience. With the Multi Experience, it works on multiple rides and as soon as you tap into one ride, you can request the next Lightning Lane. You want to purchase and prebook your first ride in advance. Single Experience is where you can buy a Lightning Lane time slot for individual rides like Tron or Rise of the Resistance. Disney's Lightning Lane experience is better than Universal's Express Pass because they load people from that lane faster. Disney has also changed their rules around their Disability Access service and made it much harder to obtain a pass. Keep this in mind if you have children with special needs and have used that service in the past. Tip: If you want to stay at one of the Deluxe hotels on property, you can stay by renting Disney Vacation Club points. (Riviera has Skyliner access) See Kim's article on renting and using DVC points. Disney is building a new ride in the Avengers Campus and they are getting rid of the Tom Sawyer Island and Riverboat in Magic Kingdom to create Cars Land. Updates from Universal Orlando Note: Universal Orlando hosted Kim's family for this part of the trip. Kim stayed at the Loews Sapphire Falls, which is a Moderate property and does not include the Express Passes. The Sapphire Falls is within walking distance to the parks and guests get one hour early entry. Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure still has very long lines. The nice thing about the Universal Express Passes don't require you to book any times online, so it is less stressful to manage. However, many people have these passes because they are staying at the premium hotels and the lanes load slowly so sometimes you don't save a lot of time (sometimes only about 10 minutes of time savings). There is a Universal Express Unlimited Pass that lets you ride a ride in the Express pass lane as much as you would like, without limits. Universal Orlando is building a whole new theme park in 2025 called Epic Universe. It is going to be further away from CityWalk and the other parks or hotels. It will also have another portion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Ministry of Magic. There will also be two premium hotels and a How to Train Your Dragon land.   Other Episodes You May Enjoy Disney Vacation Club tips Choosing a Disney World hotel Walt Disney World tips Universal Orlando's Volcano Bay Universal Orlando insider tips

Roy pours his heart and soul into producing Because Miami, and Dan accepts that it constantly loses viewers and listeners because he believes in Billy Corben's work, but is it really possible that the Shipping Container thinks TAYLOR'S music is better than the music on Because Miami? Let's find out. Then, Roy Wood Jr. is here to celebrate the one-year anniversary of what he is calling a "seminal moment" in black history: the Montgomery Riverboat Brawl. He also discusses Kamala Harris definitely picking a white man to be her VP, RFK Jr.'s bizarre bear story, his show "The Other Games," the way the "International Transfer Portal" has surprised him during these Olympics, and his semi-sure bet of the week. Plus, "the other black Roy" has returned with a selection of songs from Because Miami to challenge Taylor's Mariners song, and the crew votes on the best tunes. Learn more about your ad choices.
