According to reporting and court filings, Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly discussed a plan to discredit the now-infamous photograph showing Andrew with Virginia Roberts by manufacturing “evidence” that the image was fake. Maxwell's family had already circulated a staged photo meant to mimic the layout of her London townhouse bathroom in an attempt to claim that the original image couldn't have been taken there. Behind the scenes, Maxwell and Andrew allegedly explored additional ways to undermine the photo's authenticity, including commissioning experts to pick apart shadows, angles, and metadata in hopes of creating enough public doubt to neutralize its impact. The effort wasn't grounded in a definitive forensic flaw—it was an attempt to create a narrative that the photo was unreliable.The alleged plan went further than simply hiring experts. Reports indicated that Maxwell and Andrew hoped to construct an alternative explanation for the image's existence entirely—suggesting it could have been manipulated, misdated, or even fabricated by unknown actors. The strategy relied on fueling skepticism rather than proving a concrete hoax, banking on the idea that if the public believed the picture was questionable, Andrew could distance himself from Roberts' claims. Ultimately, these efforts fizzled because no credible forensic analysis ever supported the idea that the photograph was doctored. Instead, the campaign only drew more scrutiny to Andrew and Maxwell, reinforcing the perception that they were scrambling for any possible way to discredit evidence rather than confronting the substantive allegations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Virginia Roberts is battling it out in court with someone known as Jane doe # 133. The battle has to do with Jane Doe's persistent resistance to her name being unsealed as part of the document dump initiated by Judge Preska. Virginia Roberts and her legal team say that transparency and the publics right to know outweighs Jane doe's right to privacy, considering she has already been named in public. Now it will be up to the court to decide.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Victim Virginia Giuffre Fighting Jane Doe's Objection to Unsealing of Records (radaronline.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Dirigida por Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine, Cruce de caminos), Roofman: un ladrón en el tejado se inspira en hechos reales para reconstruir la insólita historia de Jeffrey Manchester, un delincuente meticuloso y casi invisible que logró robar decenas de restaurantes accediendo por los tejados y ocultándose en falsos techos. Protagonizada por Channing Tatum, junto a Kirsten Dunst y Ben Mendelsohn, la película transita con soltura entre el thriller y la comedia negra, evitando la idealización del criminal para centrarse en su ingenio, su soledad y la fascinación mediática que despierta su figura. Cianfrance imprime un tono ligero y melancólico a la vez, convirtiendo el relato de robos en un retrato de la América invisible, donde el talento y la obsesión se confunden con la necesidad de desaparecer. Min 15: FRONTERA (2,5 estrellas) Frontera, dirigida por Judith Colell (Elisa K, Nosotras), es un poderoso thriller histórico que recupera un episodio apenas contado de la Segunda Guerra Mundial desde la perspectiva española: en 1943, cuando miles de judíos huían de la represión nazi por los Pirineos, un funcionario de aduanas con pasado republicano interpretado por Miki Esparbé, junto a María Rodríguez Soto y Asier Etxeandía, se enfrenta a la orden de bloquear su paso y decide, contra todo pronóstico y bajo constante riesgo, ayudarles a cruzar la frontera hacia una esperanza de libertad, desafiando al régimen franquista y poniendo en juego la seguridad de su familia y su pueblo. Min 22: REY DE REYES (2,5 estrellas) Dirigida por el cineasta surcoreano Jang Seong-ho, Rey de Reyes es una ambiciosa película de animación coproducida entre Corea del Sur y Estados Unidos que reinterpreta la vida de Jesucristo a partir de La vida de Nuestro Señor, el cuento que Charles Dickens escribió para su hijo, combinando respeto por el texto original con una puesta en escena épica y accesible al público familiar. Con las voces protagonistas de Oscar Isaac como Jesús, junto a Kenneth Branagh, Uma Thurman y Mark Hamill, la película articula un relato clásico apoyado en un cuidado apartado visual que mezcla sensibilidad oriental y espectacularidad occidental, poniendo el acento en valores universales como la compasión, el sacrificio y la redención. Min 27: BALEARIC (2 estrellas) Dirigida por Ion de Sosa (Sueñan los androides, Mamántula), Balearic es una arriesgada fábula cinematográfica que mezcla drama, suspense y crítica social dentro de una narración que transcurre en la víspera de San Juan, cuando un grupo de adolescentes —interpretados por Lara Gallo, Elías Hwidar, Ada Tormo y Paula Gala— decide colarse en la piscina de una lujosa villa y acaba atrapado por tres feroces perros que desatan un espiral de tensión. Min 29: LA VIDA FUERA (2,5 estrellas) Dirigida por Mario Martone (Leopardi, Il giovane favoloso), La vida fuera (Fuori) es un drama biográfico que reconstruye con delicadeza y pasión la vida de la escritora Goliarda Sapienza, interpretada por Valeria Golino, acompañada por Matilda De Angelis, Elodie y Corrado Fortuna, en un relato que transcurre en la Roma de 1980 y se centra en la detención de Sapienza tras un acto impulsivo, su paso por prisión y el profundo vínculo que forja con jóvenes reclusas que cambiarán su visión sobre la vida y la escritura, empujándola a recuperar la alegría de vivir y el impulso creativo que la definió como una de las voces literarias más originales de Italia. Min 32: FRAGMENTOS (2,5 estrellas) Fragmentos es un drama psicológico rodado íntegramente en Lanzarote que explora las grietas emocionales de una familia contemporánea a través de la mirada introspectiva de Emma Suárez, en el papel de una madre cuya vida aparentemente estable se resquebraja tras un accidente que la obliga a enfrentarse a sus recuerdos, duelos no resueltos y relaciones tensas con su entorno. Min 34: REESTRENO DE LOS GOONIES. 40 aniversario Con motivo de su 40º aniversario, Los Goonies —la entrañable aventura juvenil dirigida por Richard Donner y producida por Steven Spielberg, protagonizada por Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Martha Plimpton y un inolvidable reparto de jóvenes intérpretes— regresa a las salas en un reestreno que celebra la vigencia de una película que se ha convertido en objeto de culto generacional. MIn 40: LA PELI DE TU VIDA, CON PEDRO CENJOR Y hoy en la peli de tu vida, cedemos el altavoz de Estamos de Cine a otro directo de la tierra. Este experimentado, toledano, miembro de la Asociación de productores Audiovisuales de CLM, con los que estuvimos hace una semana en Madrid para apoyar las posibles candidatos de nuestra comunidad de cara a los próximos Goya. Es Pedro Cenjor, que ha debutado en el largo este mismo año con La Boda...con Elena Furiase, Daniel Chamorro o Antonio Dechent. En plena Gran Vía, en la oficina de Promoción Turística de CLM, nos desvelaba por qué "Los Inúticos", de Federico Fellini, del año 1953, es el título que marcó su amor por el cine. Min 41: BSO ESPECIAL CENTENARIO DE JACK LEMMON La sección BSO de esta semana se convierte en un viaje muy especial para celebrar el centenario de Jack Lemmon, uno de los actores imprescindibles de la historia del cine. A través de un recorrido musical por su filmografía, repasamos algunas de las bandas sonoras más emblemáticas asociadas a sus películas, deteniéndonos en títulos tan representativos como Mr. Roberts, Días de vino y rosas, Irma la dulce, La extraña pareja o El apartamento. Un homenaje sonoro que permite redescubrir no solo la versatilidad interpretativa de Lemmon, sino también cómo la música acompañó y definió el tono de una carrera que supo moverse con brillantez entre la comedia, el drama y la sátira, y que sigue resonando con fuerza cien años después.

Host Seth Swerczek is joined by Preston Lentfer and Matt Ritchie to explore the history and lasting value of the 257 Roberts cartridge. They discuss its origins, ballistics, versatility, and why this classic still holds its own in the modern era of hunting and shooting.

Andrew and Dominique look back at their first year cohosting the At First Listen podcast. We did 43 episodes this year. It was a lot of music to listen to and far too much to remember! So we have to ask: What did we love? What did we forget about? What do we wish we could forget? Dominique admits that she still listens to Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet weekly. Andrew comes clean about his renewed enjoyment of brutal death metal and deathcore, and he shouts out some of the bands that have come into his orbit this year. Tell us about your favorite music of the year @AtFirstListenpodcast on Instagram. Subscribe so you don't miss an episode!This episode includes AI-generated content.

In this conversation, we dive into the magic and evolution of the Indiana Repertory Theatre's beloved A Christmas Carol, from its imaginative Tom Haas staging—where actors and minimal props bring Dickens' world to life on a snowy, sloped stage—to the behind-the-scenes realities of trap doors, rehearsal challenges, and mountains of fake snow. Former director Richard shares the pressure and pride of guiding a production that everyone else in the room had performed for years, the subtle artistic updates made over time, and the influence of new directors like Cara Hihn, whose own childhood experiences at IRT helped shape her inclusive vision. The discussion expands into how theater has long championed representation, diversity, and authenticity in casting, the collaborative joy of working with artists, and the importance of leadership in setting a positive creative environment. We talk about the casting process in the age of Zoom, the resilience of the IRT during COVID—producing streamed productions while many theaters shut down—and the emotional return of audiences craving community. The conversation closes with reflections on the irreplaceable value of live performance, especially in the age of AI, and how theater continues to offer shared human experiences no technology can replicate.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Scot Danforth, author of the new biography "An Independent Man," talks about the life of Ed Roberts, who founded the Independent Living Movement. In the revolutionary 1960s, Roberts and his fellow Berkeley activists pioneered the disability rights fight. He later led change in Sacramento as California's Director of Rehabilitation, advocating for state legislation years before the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. But, as current threats show, hard-won gains like these can be taken away.

Dr. Mysheika Roberts is navigating a staff of 600 through uncertain times, as the president and federal health officials cast doubt on medical science, pull funding and rewrite decades of established health practices.

The Federal Reserve cut rates by a quarter point Wednesday, but the real story is the division behind the decision. For the first time since 2021, three Fed governors dissented--an uncommon break in policy unity that raises new questions about inflation progress, economic risk, and the path of monetary policy into 2026. Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz explain why the Fed cut now, what the dissent signals, and how a split vote may affect market volatility, yields, and expectations for future rate moves. We also look at how past dissent has aligned with turning points in policy cycles and what this could mean for portfolios as financial conditions continue to ease.

After the publication of the photograph showing Ghislaine Maxwell with her arm around Virginia Roberts while Prince Andrew stands behind them, Maxwell's family responded by attempting to discredit the image through a counter-demonstration they claimed exposed its supposed manipulation. They released photos taken inside Maxwell's bathroom, focusing on the tiled wall and fixtures, arguing that these details did not match the background of the Roberts–Andrew photograph. The intent was to suggest the original image had been staged or altered, with the bathroom setting offered as proof that the widely circulated photograph could not have been taken where Roberts said it was.The effort was widely criticized and quickly unraveled under scrutiny. Journalists and observers noted that the bathroom photos proved little beyond the fact that Maxwell's home had a bathroom, while doing nothing to explain the consistent provenance of the original image, Roberts' contemporaneous possession of it, or the corroborating circumstances surrounding it. Rather than undermining the photograph's credibility, the staged bathroom images were viewed as a clumsy and defensive maneuver that raised more questions about the family's strategy than the authenticity of the evidence itself. In the end, the episode reinforced a familiar pattern in the Epstein saga: aggressive attempts to muddy the waters that only succeeded in drawing greater attention to the underlying allegations and the weakness of the rebuttal offered.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The red flowered plant that shows up everywhere at this time of year–I saw a forest of them in Wegman's this morning– is called in Mexico the cuetlaxochitl, or the noche buena; but Americans know it by as the namesake of man who introduced it to the United States: poinsettia. Yet Joel Roberts Poinsett was a more interesting organism than that plant given his name. He was a South Carolinian who spent years away from the state, and was a committed nationalist and anti-nullifier; a world traveller when few Americans were; a slaveowner who other slaveowners regarded as potentially anti-slavery; an international investor who also labored for South Carolina local improvements; a diplomat who spent years if not decades trying to find a way to be a soldier. And that's leaving a few facets of his identity out. As my guest Lindsay Schackenbach Regele sums him up, “He was not the same, anywhere.”Lindsay Schakenbach Regele is with me to discuss Joel Poinsett, his era, and what he reveals about it. She was previously on the podcast in a conversation that dropped on April 3, 2019, which focused on her book Manufacturing Advantage: War, the State, and the Origins of American Industry, 1776–1848 (Hopkins, 2019).

During the Virginia Roberts Giuffre defamation lawsuit, Ghislaine Maxwell attempted to use Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45 as a pressure tactic, asking the court to sanction Giuffre and her legal team over their handling of subpoenas. Maxwell argued that Giuffre improperly served or attempted to serve subpoenas on non-party witnesses without giving required advance notice, claiming this violated procedural rules and amounted to bad-faith discovery conduct. Maxwell framed the move as an abuse of the discovery process, alleging deadlines were ignored and that Giuffre was trying to extract testimony in ways that unfairly prejudiced Maxwell's defense.The court was ultimately unmoved by Maxwell's effort, viewing it as part of a broader strategy to choke off discovery rather than a genuine procedural grievance. Judges made clear that technical disputes over subpoenas did not outweigh the public interest and relevance of the underlying evidence, especially given the serious nature of the allegations involved. Maxwell's failed bid for Rule 45 sanctions instead reinforced a familiar pattern in the litigation: repeated attempts to delay, narrow, or derail discovery as damaging testimony and documents continued to edge closer to daylight.to contactme:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Judges made clear that technical disputes over subpoenas did not outweigh the public interest and relevance of the underlying evidence, especially given the serious nature of the allegations involved. Maxwell's failed bid for Rule 45 sanctions instead reinforced a familiar pattern in the litigation: repeated attempts to delay, narrow, or derail discovery as damaging testimony and documents continued to edge closer to daylight.to contactme:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Views on America and Marxist Dogma: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts explains that Stalin admired American production and the Constitution, viewing the U.S. as a progressive capitalist state; however, Stalin remained a Marxist dogmatist who edited texts to fit his ideology, with Roberts ultimately characterizing Stalin as an intellectual whose worldview was limited by his fanatical commitment to Bolshevism. 1934

Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on pianist Marcus Roberts.Roberts plays jazz piano like he's lived through its entire history. His style pulls from Jelly Roll Morton and Fats Waller as much as it does from bebop. He spent years in Wynton Marsalis's band, has performed piano concertos with Seiji Ozawa, and today leads The Modern Jazz Generation, a 12-piece ensemble encompassing three decades of musicians.Roberts is here today to talk about something beyond performance. He's one of twenty artists awarded a grant from the Doris Duke Foundation's Performing Arts Technologies Lab. His project tackles a technical problem that's plagued remote music collaboration: latency. He's working to get the delay below 40 milliseconds so musicians in different cities can actually play together in real time.Roberts has been blind since age five, and he's used technology his whole life to access music and create it. From Braille music notation to AI-powered tools, he shows us how tech can serve artists rather than replace them. And that's just a hint of where this conversation goes.(The first two musical excerpts heard in the interview are from a Marcus Roberts live performance, Jazz in Marciac 2024)–Dig Deeper• Visit Marcus Roberts at marcusroberts.com • Check out Marcus Roberts' music on Qobuz • Marcus Roberts on Wikipedia • Marcus Roberts - 60 Minutes Profile "The Virtuoso" (2014)• Jason Marsalis - drummer in Marcus Roberts Trio and The Modern Jazz Generation • Rodney Jordan - bassist in Marcus Roberts Trio • The Modern Jazz Generation - Roberts' 12-piece ensemble founded in 2012• Dig into this episode's complete show notes at podcast.thetonearm.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

Stalin's Early Education and Reading Habits: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts describes Stalin's Blizhnyaya dacha, where the dictator kept a massive library and died in 1953, detailing Stalin's youth as a pious, star seminary student who lost interest in the priesthood after discovering a radical bookshop, becoming a voracious reader of prohibited nationalist and socialist literature. 1921

Classifying the Dictator's Collection: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts reports that Stalin hired Lenin's former librarian to organize his growing collection, creating a handwritten classification scheme that prioritized Marxist thinkers, surprisingly ranking his rival Trotsky highly on this reading list; the Bolsheviks seized control of publishing to manage public thought, while Stalin adopted an ex libris stamp to identify his personal books. 1930

Stalin's Early Education and Reading Habits: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts describes Stalin's Blizhnyaya dacha, where the dictator kept a massive library and died in 1953, detailing Stalin's youth as a pious, star seminary student who lost interest in the priesthood after discovering a radical bookshop, becoming a voracious reader of prohibited nationalist and socialist literature. 1939

Personal Tragedy and the Dacha Library: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts recounts that following the suicide of his wife Nadia in 1932, Stalin became more isolated, moving his routine to the Blizhnyaya dacha, which became the "center of gravity" for his books eventually numbering around 25,000, suggesting that like Machiavelli, Stalin felt most among friends when surrounded by his library. 1934

Rediscovering the Scattered Library: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts explains that after 1956, Stalin's library was dispersed, leaving only about 5,500 identifiable books, some containing his pometki or markings; while Yuri Sharapov revealed the library in 1988, no "smoking gun" explains Stalin, with Roberts arguing the library proves Stalin was a serious intellectual who believed books changed the world. 1902

Historical Influences: Bismarck and Realpolitik: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts discusses how Stalin studied Bismarck as a fellow modernizer who executed a "revolution from above" to build a strong state, arguing that regarding Machiavelli, Stalin did not need The Prince to learn cynicism or power politics, as he had already learned those lessons effectively from Bolshevik mentors like Lenin and Trotsky. 1935

Rehabilitating Ivan the Terrible: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts reports that Stalin favored the narrative history of Robert Vipper, who rehabilitated Ivan the Terrible as a state-builder rather than a cruel tyrant; Stalin criticized Eisenstein's film sequel for portraying Ivan as weak, insisting Ivan's terror was a necessary defense of the state, a view justifying Stalin's own purges. 1945

You know the story. The language you speak doesn't determine your savings. If your language has a future tense, there's no impact on the way you see or describe the future. Language and perception are separate. Well, maybe it's time to revisit this. Séan Roberts and Cole Robertson are finding a cognitive connection, not with how our language makes us talk about the future, but with how our language lets us express uncertainty.

The defamation battle between Ghislaine Maxwell and Virginia Roberts was one of the most consequential legal clashes in the broader Epstein saga, because it forced Maxwell to confront allegations she had spent years trying to swat away through intimidation, denial, and public relations spin. Virginia Roberts accused Maxwell of knowingly recruiting and grooming her for Jeffrey Epstein, detailing years of exploitation that Maxwell publicly dismissed as lies. Roberts sued for defamation, arguing that Maxwell's denials were not just false but part of a deliberate effort to discredit her and protect the criminal network surrounding Epstein. As evidence accumulated, the case became a referendum on Maxwell's credibility and on the broader culture of silence that had shielded Epstein's circle for decades. Every filing, motion, and deposition chipped away at the carefully curated persona Maxwell tried to maintain, exposing a pattern of evasiveness and self-preservation consistent with Roberts's claims.Sensing that the case was moving toward discovery that could be devastating for her, Maxwell attempted a procedural escape hatch: she pushed for the judge to grant summary judgment in her favor, arguing that the case lacked sufficient evidence to proceed to trial. It was a classic high-power legal maneuver—cut the case off before testimony, documents, and sworn statements could drag more damaging details into the open. But the judge rejected the attempt, ruling that there were clear factual disputes that had to be resolved through a full legal process, not swept aside with a shortcut. The denial of summary judgment ensured that Maxwell would have to face the very evidence she sought to suppress, ultimately contributing to a legal and public unraveling that her attorneys had fought desperately to avoid.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell's attempt to secure Rule 37 sanctions against Virginia Roberts and her legal team was a strategic effort to regain control of a defamation case that had already begun to expose damaging details about her role in the Epstein network. Maxwell accused Roberts and her attorneys of allegedly withholding discovery, failing to comply with court-ordered deadlines, and intentionally obstructing the flow of information that Maxwell claimed she needed for her defense. In essence, Maxwell tried to paint herself as the party being unfairly disadvantaged, framing Roberts's team as litigants abusing the discovery process to gain leverage in the public arena. Her motion was not merely a procedural request — it was an attempt to undermine the credibility of Roberts and her counsel, shift the narrative away from the core allegations, and create a legal record suggesting that Maxwell, not Roberts, was the party suffering prejudice.The court, however, saw Maxwell's sanctions request for what it was: an overreaching attempt to weaponize Rule 37 to punish a survivor and her attorneys for routine litigation disputes. Judges are typically cautious about using sanctions in high-stakes civil cases, and Maxwell's claims failed to meet the standard required to impose penalties. The court found no basis for concluding that Roberts or her lawyers had acted in bad faith or deliberately withheld information in a way that warranted sanctions. As a result, Maxwell's effort not only failed but reinforced the perception that she was using aggressive procedural tactics to avoid confronting the substance of the allegations against her. The denial of sanctions further weakened Maxwell's legal posture and underscored the court's unwillingness to entertain attempts to redirect the case away from the central question of her role in Epstein's abuse network.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
