Podcast appearances and mentions of salvador dal

Alfred Hitchcock remains cinema's Master of Suspense a century after directing his first film, but decades of biography have blurred the line between the man and the myth. Mike talks with author Tony Lee Moral about his sixth Hitchcock book, A Century of Hitchcock, and the archival discovery that reshaped it: a 36-page 1980 transcript of biographer Donald Spoto's own interview with Tippi Hedren.Moral traces how Spoto's personal grievances against Hitchcock — including being routinely ignored by name and bitten by the director's West Highland terrier — colored The Darkside of Genius and shaped decades of tabloid narrative. Drawing on new interviews with secretaries, screenwriters, and script supervisors who worked alongside Hitchcock, Moral makes the case for reexamining the record on Hitchcock's treatment of women, from Tippi Hedren's shifting accounts to the making of The Birds and Marnie.The conversation also revisits The Pleasure Garden on its hundredth anniversary, Hitchcock's collaboration with Salvador Dalí on Spellbound, and what a possible sixth Hitchcock book might hold.

Grötiga terroristtankar, banbrytande filosofi och viktiga litterära författarskap. Allt rymdes hos Bo Cavefors förlag. Det får en av fundera över dagens intellektuella klimat, säger Tor Billgren. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2018-06-14.”RAF: texter”, som publicerades på Bo Cavefors förlag i oktober 1977 måste vara en av bokhistoriens mest vältajmade utgivningar. Det är en 520-sidig antologi med texter av aktivister inom den västtyska terrorgruppen Röda Arméfraktionen, RAF.Cavefors berättar om publiceringen i Malmökonstnären Lena Mattssons filminstallation ”I betraktarens öga”, som visades på Moderna Museet i Malmö 2014. Förutom den svenska boken, gav han också ut en utgåva på tyska, eftersom inget tyskt förlag vågade göra det. För att böckerna inte skulle fastna i tullen, fabricerade han ett fejkomslag: ”Kärlek med förhinder” stod det på framsidan av ett stort antal av de tyska böckerna.Cavefors hade starka drivkrafter, både politiska och litterära. I Lena Mattssons intervjufilm kallar han sig ”kulturell onanist”.Det som gör boken så vältajmad, är att det var just i oktober 1977, som palestinska PFLP kapade ett Lufthansaplan med kravet att ett antal fängslade RAF-ledare skulle friges.I fem dagar irrade planet runt i Mellanöstern med fem besättningsmedlemmar och 86 passagerare som gisslan, sju av dem barn. Tidigt på morgonen den 17 oktober kunde planet slutligen landa i Mogadishu, Somalia. Det stormades av tysk specialpolis, och gisslan fritogs.Följande morgon hittades RAF:s fängslade ledare, Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin och Jan-Carl Raspe döda i sina fängelseceller i vad som förmodligen var ett koordinerat självmord.I samma veva lägger alltså Bo Cavefors ”RAF: texter” på bokhandelsdiskarna.Det var förstås också en mycket kontroversiell utgivning. RAF hade vid det laget mördat 16 personer i sina olika aktioner, varav två i Stockholm under ockupationen av Västtyska ambassaden 1975.Och våren 1977 hade SÄPO slagit till mot en RAF-trogen terrorcell i Sverige som planerade att kidnappa före detta ministern Anna-Greta Leijon i utpressningssyfte. Så hösten 1977 visste alla vad RAF var. Bo Cavefors hade en särskild näsa för det som låg i tiden.Han startade sitt bokförlag 1959, men det är först 2018 som historien om förlaget berättas utförligt i bokform. Det är bokhistorikern Ragni Svensson som gör det i sin doktorsavhandling ”Cavefors – Förlagsprofil och mediala mytbilder i det svenska litteratursamhället 1959–1982”.Första året gav den då 27-årige förläggaren ut nio titlar från sitt föräldrahem i Limhamn, bland annat ”Sju algeriska studenters vittnesmål om tortyren i Frankrike” och tre böcker av den mycket kontroversielle poeten Ezra Pound.Stig Claesson sökte sig tidigt till förlaget, liksom en ung Lars Norén. Honom refuserade dock Cavefors, tre gånger på tre år.Förlaget fick snabbt en vänsterpolitisk profil. Ragni Svensson noterar att utgivningen kom att ”spegla eller rentav föregå den väg som den svenska vänsterrörelsen kom att ta framåt slutet av 1960-talet”.Cavefors gav ut Mao Tse-tung, Rosa Luxemburg, Antonio Gramsci, Marx, Stalin, Lenin och Nordkoreas diktator Kim Il Sung.Det kom tjogtals med titlar som ”En socialistisk kultursyn”, ”Marxismens politiska ekonomi” och ”Kulturrevolutionen vid Kinas universitet”.Han introducerade tänkare och filosofer som Roland Barthes och Michel Foucault. Peter Weiss knöts tidigt till förlaget, och 1975 gav Cavefors ut den nigerianske författaren Wole Soyinka, 11 år innan han fick Nobelpriset.Det är inte dåligt för vad som länge var ett enmansförlag. Men Cavefors hade starka drivkrafter, både politiska och litterära. I Lena Mattssons intervjufilm kallar han sig ”kulturell onanist”.Att läsa om Bo Cavefors skapar funderingar om intellektuell takhöjd och diskussionsklimat nu och då. Vill man få en överblick över vidden av utgivningen kan man ta till en annan bok från 2018: ”BOC – en bok om Bo Cavefors Bokförlag”, som innehåller en komplett bibliografi.De Caveforsböcker som jag själv har starkast kontakt med är Salvador Dalís självbiografi, som tidigt väckte mitt intresse för konst. En annan är William Burroughs ”Den nakna lunchen”, som Cavefors tog till Sverige 1978. Jag hittade den på en loppmarknad i Simrishamn 1996 och läste den på ett kvavt tåg samma sommar som jag skulle rycka in i Flottan. Boken var osprättad, så jag satt med min morakniv och skar. Sida efter sida sköljde bokens febriga och erotiska hallucinationer över mig.Förlaget gick under i det som kom att kallas Caveforsaffären; en stormig process som spelades upp kring 1980. Bo Cavefors hade vunnit en upphandling från Kulturrådet om att ge ut Strindbergs samlade verk i ny utgåva. Men mitt under förberedelsearbetet drogs beslutet tillbaka.Officiellt på grund av brister i upphandlingsförfarandet, men i den debatt som följde menade Cavefors försvarare inom kulturvärlden att det var hans kontroversiella utgivning som var det egentliga skälet. Han var för obekväm, för besvärlig.Snart kom också anklagelser om ekonomisk brottslighet. Han satt häktad i polishuset i Lund i nio dagar, men frikändes sedan på 10 av 11 åtalspunkter. Förlaget gick i konkurs och i början av 1981 såldes det enorma boklagret i en legendarisk utförsäljning. Det är förmodligen från denna som min osprättade Burroughsbok härstammar.Att läsa om Bo Cavefors skapar funderingar om intellektuell takhöjd och diskussionsklimat nu och då. Hade utgivningarna av till exempel Ezra Pound, Stalin och den svenske fascistledaren Per Engdahl, vars memoarer Cavefors gav ut 1979, kunnat stå emot dagens sociala medierdrev och polariserade åsiktsjournalistik?Hade ett etablerat förlag idag kunnat ge ut visdomsord från Islamiska Statens teologer, eller Anders Behring Breiviks manifest?Bo Cavefors har motiverat utgivningen av RAF-boken med att det rörde sig om ”viktiga dokument för den tiden”.Att publicera något måste inte betyda att man ställer sig bakom det. Det finns en historisk och vetenskaplig poäng med att tillgängliggöra material för den tänkande allmänheten, även av kontroversiell, oetisk och korkad natur.Kanske är den här nakenheten exhibitionism, precis som det kan vara exhibitionism att ge ut böcker.Efter tiden med förlaget har Bo Cavefors i hög grad fortsatt med sin kulturella onani. Han har skrivit böcker och gett ut tidskrifter, men också samarbetat med olika konstnärer. I Lena Mattssons installation som visades på Moderna i Malmö, ingår förutom intervjufilmen, bland annat också en liten projektion av en naken Cavefors från en pjäs som han satte upp i Malmö 2005.Den här nakenheten återkommer i flera konstnärliga samarbeten, till exempel med Martin Bladh på Fylkingen i Stockholm 2009, och med Leif Holmstrand. Boken ”Ett rum på tredje våningen” består av textflöde och bilder, där en åldrad Cavefors poserar i olika sexuella situationer, inte sällan insnärjd i Holmstrands virkade girlanger.Kanske är den här nakenheten exhibitionism, precis som det kan vara exhibitionism att ge ut böcker: att torgföra sina åsikter och posera med vad man tycker är viktigt.Kanske är nakenheten provokation, precis som det kan vara provokation att ge ut Stalin eller ett tjockt manifest med ”grötiga terroristtankar och livsfarlig våldsromantik”, som en av recensenterna beskrev RAF-boken.För 40–50 år sedan yttrade sig denna inskränkthet genom upprop om moralisk resning, idag genom krav på trygga rum och triggervarningar.Men det är ett ytligt sätt att se på saken. Jag ser snarare nakenheten som ett verktyg för att ifrågasätta kroppsideal och avslöja fördomar, precis som utmanande bokpubliceringar kan avslöja inskränkthet och en subjektiv och godtycklig syn på yttrandefrihet.För 40–50 år sedan yttrade sig denna inskränkthet genom upprop om moralisk resning, idag genom krav på trygga rum och triggervarningar.Ett samhälle behöver sina obekväma och besvärliga personer. Det är de som lockar den indignerade flocken att demonstrera var toleransens gränser går.Tor Billgren, frilansjournalist LitteraturRagni Svensson: Cavefors – förlagsprofil och mediala mytbilder i det svenska litteratursamhället 1959–1982.

There are only a very few artists from the 20th century who are truly household names, figures like Salvador Dalí, Frida Kahlo, and Andy Warhol. The name M.C. Escher is certainly on that short list. Escher's impact on the wider culture may be as big, or even bigger that of those other figures, even as he remains somewhat hard to classify as an artist. Born Maurits Cornelis Escher, the Dutch artist was a highly skilled maker of woodcuts, lithographs, and engravings, bringing a sense of exquisite precision and intricate geometry to his compositions. But as an artist, Escher is almost synonymous with the idea of visual paradox. You will know him for works like Drawing Hands (from 1953), depicting two hands holding pencils, each seeming to emerge from a piece of paper, where they are each being drawn by the other, in a magical loop. Or for Ascending and Descending (from 1960), showing a palace with a looping set of stairs on its roof, which seem, due to Escher's cleverly realized optical illusion, to be leading tiny pilgrims both upwards and downwards—at the same time. So, is Escher one of the greats, or is he more of a novelty act? My colleague, Jo Lawson-Tancred recently went to see a show currently at Somerset House in London that's called “M.C. Escher: The Exhibition,” which includes 150 of Escher's original works from all the major phases of his career. Art Critic, Ben Davis leapt at the chance to talk to Jo about the show, the artist, and the cultural phenomenon that is M.C. Escher.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.A sprawling surrealist exhibit Twin Cities painter David Amdur recommends seeing "The Internal Affairs of Mr. Invincible," an exhibition of more than 100 mixed-media drawings by Lou Ferreri at Hopkins Center for the Arts, on view through August 1. Amdur says: “To get some sense of it, imagine a collaboration between Salvador Dalí and R. Crumb. They are entire editorial pages from the New York Times that have been painted on with acrylic pens, so they're very colorful, and most of the images are quite complex and very surreal, very strange. Also in the exhibition are monumental charcoal drawings that are more than four feet across. It's not a show to rush through. There's really a lot to take in. I would give myself time to linger with the drawings. You'll find unexpected and surprising connections emerge.” Sculpture walking tours Tony Austinson of Fridley got interested in public sculpture during the pandemic, when viewing art indoors wasn't an option. Visiting the sculpture walks created by various Minnesota cities has turned into a hobby, and he likes to go with his literal art hound, Tillie, at his side. Over time, he's come to recognize and appreciate the work of individual artists, such as Tim Nelson of Bemidji, who makes sculptures from scrap metal. Austinson recommends checking out the sculpture walks in a city near you. Here are links to self-guided walking tours in Mankato, Bemidji, Park Rapids, Fergus Falls, Hutchinson, Red Wing, and Delano, as well as Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Performance art meets political theater Sarra Beckham-Chasnoff is a theater superfan in the Twin Cities. One standout theatrical performance from last fall—which she is excited to see return this weekend—is “In the Backroom,” created and performed by Michael Torsch. The show is 70 minutes without intermission and runs July 2-5 at 7 p.m. at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis. Beckham-Chasnoff says this play-within-a-play surprised her at every turn, and its themes feel timely for the Fourth of July. “Michael Torsch is just a local treasure, so he does a type of performance art that is very smart and funny, and simultaneously very accessible. He introduces some controversial 21st-century American figures. I think it just kind of has a more complicated view of what America is, and so with the 250th anniversary, I just think it will be a poignant piece to see. “The [theater] is just a few blocks away from where the fireworks will be in Minneapolis, and so for folks going to the July Fourth show, they'll be able to walk over and watch the fireworks afterwards.”

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.

The weather is hotter than a dashboard in August, which naturally leads the gang to ask the important scientific questions... like whether eating ridiculously spicy food actually cools you off or if someone's "Mexican friend" just made that up.Then things take an unexpected turn when the crew debates one of life's biggest questions: January or July? One side argues for sunshine, pools and BBQs, while the other passionately defends fireplaces, blankets and seasonal depression. Somehow everyone makes a compelling argument... even if none of it makes any sense.Meanwhile, Learn officially declares Dry July after an absolutely legendary night that ended exactly the way every adult swears will "never happen again." The crew relives embarrassing hangover stories, questionable late-night food choices, mysterious sink incidents, and enough bad decisions to make every listener suddenly want a glass of water.As if that wasn't enough chaos, the conversation shifts toward dangerous TikTok trends after reports of the Benadryl Challenge resurfacing. The crew mixes genuine concern with their trademark sarcasm while reminiscing about all the unbelievably dumb things their own generation somehow survived.There's also plenty of discussions about American air conditioning, European heat waves, saunas, spicy snacks during a heat advisory, weird summer traditions, and why every generation somehow invents new ways to accidentally knock themselves unconscious.Basically... if you've ever questioned your life choices while sweating through your shirt, this episode is for you.Whether you're listening at work, in traffic, by the pool, or hiding from the heat with the AC cranked to "meat locker," this daily comedy show delivers exactly the kind of ridiculous conversations you've come to expect from The Rizzuto Show.The crew dives headfirst into nostalgia after discovering an old collection of TV commercials that somehow unlocked memories nobody asked for.

Then it's Social Media Day, which naturally turns into everyone comparing screen-time stats, admitting their phone addictions, and realizing we've collectively donated years of our lives to scrolling videos of people organizing refrigerators we'll never own.Then things get weird.A tech futurist casually suggests we should all accept that privacy is basically dead, cameras will be everywhere, and the best solution is simply "be a good person." Totally normal. Naturally, the crew dives headfirst into Meta smart glasses, surveillance culture, creepy recording technology, Black Mirror predictions, and whether we're sprinting toward a future where literally everything is being watched.As if that's not enough existential dread, there's celebrity chaos everywhere.Taylor Swift wedding rumors refuse to die, Aaron Lewis accidentally becomes packing material for Taylor merch, Barry Manilow's latest appearance sparks one of the funniest conversations of the day, Limp Bizkit's comeback continues to surprise everyone, and the gang debates which era deserves a Rolling Stones biopic.There's also classic Rizz Show randomness including fake live albums, KISS concert intros, the Olsen twins making a rare appearance, John Cena's latest hair transplant adventure, Will Ferrell modeling underwear, and one wildly questionable list ranking the TV shows that supposedly define America.Basically, it's another perfectly normal episode where birthday planning somehow turns into discussions about government surveillance, celebrity gossip, 90s rock, social media addiction, and whether anyone can still tell the Olsen twins apart.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Budweiser Is Giving Out Free Beer to Celebrate America's 250th Birthday'I felt them on my face': Rogers Park tenant says rats chewed on him while he sleptYoungsville woman bitten by copperhead while taking out trash shares warningSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Salvador Dalí once said, "A real connoisseur does not drink wine but tastes of its secrets." On this week's show, we sit down with wine experts and wine vintners to unlock those secrets and better understand the world of fermented grapes. And a bonus – they're all female!

La madrugada del 10 de junio de 1982, Salvador Dalí cruzó Cataluña en secreto con el cadáver de su musa para cumplir una última y delirante promesa. En este episodio exploramos el viaje clandestino hacia el Castillo de Púbol y desentrañamos una de las relaciones más destructivas y fascinantes del arte contemporáneo. Acompáñanos a descubrir quién era realmente la diosa, administradora y demonio detrás del genio: Elena Ivanovna Diakonova, o lo que es lo mismo, Gala Dali.

“Los Caballeros de la Orden de Toledo” es la serie de tebeos creada por Javierre y Juanfran Cabrera, que narra las aventuras del grupo operativo formado por Federico García Lorca, Luis Buñuel y Salvador Dalí, al servicio de la Institución Libre de Enseñanza, durante los años de estancia en la Residencia de Estudiantes de Madrid. En el segundo arco argumental, es Javierre quien se ha encargado del guión y el dibujo, y ahora se publica, en versión digital, el episodio 9 que lleva por título “Abd El-Krim”, que fue el líder que encabezó la resistencia contra las administraciones coloniales de España y Francia en la guerra del Rif. Un personaje histórico que encaja perfectamente en la cronología de esta interesante ficción en viñetas.Escuchar audio

fWotD Episode 3299: All Hell Breaks Loose (Charmed) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 17 May 2026, is All Hell Breaks Loose (Charmed)."All Hell Breaks Loose" is the twenty-second and finale episode of the third season of the American fantasy drama television series Charmed. Written by Brad Kern, the series' showrunner, and directed by Shannen Doherty, one of its leading actresses, "All Hell Breaks Loose" was originally broadcast on The WB on May 17, 2001.Charmed focuses on the three Halliwell sisters, Prue (Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano), who are known as the Charmed Ones, the most powerful good witches of all time. They use their powers to protect innocent lives from evil beings such as demons in San Francisco, while trying to lead normal lives. "All Hell Breaks Loose" focuses on their secret as witches getting exposed to the public after Prue and Piper are caught on tape battling the demon Shax (Michael Bailey Smith), which proves to have deadly consequences.Doherty's role as director was announced in March 2001, with filming taking place in April; "All Hell Breaks Loose" was the third episode of Charmed that she directed. During filming, Doherty used a painting by Salvador Dalí as inspiration for the episode's aesthetic and color scheme, and helped her co-stars during emotionally-charged scenes. Shortly before the episode aired, Doherty was fired from the series. According to contemporary press releases, she left the series of her own volition due to creative differences. However, rumors circulated that her departure was facilitated by an ongoing conflict with Milano. In 2023, Doherty and Combs would state that her exit from Charmed was indeed due to a feud with Milano. Kern intentionally wrote the episode to end on a cliffhanger with all three sisters' lives being in jeopardy to accommodate any potential cast changes. After Doherty's departure, Tiffani Thiessen and Jennifer Love Hewitt were offered the role of Prue; both turned it down, at which point it was decided to kill the character off."All Hell Breaks Loose" was watched by 5.26 million viewers and received positive reviews, often being cited as one of Charmed's best episodes, and highlighted for Prue's death. The episode's focus on magic's exposure and the consequences this has for the Charmed Ones was also praised, with "All Hell Breaks Loose" being recognized for its thematic connection to prior works involving similar stories. Some of the show's cast members responded negatively to the episode owing to the circumstance regarding Doherty's firing—particularly Combs—though her directing skills were praised. Doherty considered "All Hell Breaks Loose" her favorite episode out of the ones she directed.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:16 UTC on Sunday, 17 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see All Hell Breaks Loose (Charmed) 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 Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Stephen.

W nowym odcinku wideokastu „Kultura na weekend” Janusz Wróblewski i reżyser Marcin Borchardt, twórca takich dokumentów jak „Beksińscy. Album wideofoniczny” oraz „Tony Halik. Tu byłem”. Rozmawiamy o tym, jak powstaje film dokumentalny, który potrafi ożywić archiwum filmowe i zamienić je w uniwersalną opowieść o sztuce i wolności. Głównym tematem jest awangarda polska i jej najwybitniejsi przedstawiciele: Franciszka oraz Stefan Themerson, o których Marcin Borchardt nakręcił swój najnowszy film „Moi Themersonowie”. Reżyser analizuje ich nowo odnaleziony film eksperymentalny z lat 30. pt. „Europa”, stawiając ich w jednym rzędzie z takimi postaciami jak Salvador Dalí czy Luis Buñuel, autor przełomowego dzieła sztuki awangardowej „Pies andaluzyjski”. Dowiecie się, dlaczego malarstwo Franciszki Themerson jest dla gościa równie poruszające co prace, które stworzyli Lucian Freud i Francis Bacon, oraz jak wyglądało ich życie po drugiej wojnie światowej w Londynie i Paryżu. To tam prowadzili wydawnictwo Gaberbocchus Press, publikując takie tytuły jak „Król Ubu” czy „Wykład profesora Mmaa”, książka, o której sam Bertrand Russell pisał, że jest równie istotna co „1984” George'a Orwella czy „Nowy wspaniały świat” Aldousa Huxleya. W rozmowie poruszamy także wątki historyczne, takie jak II wojna światowa, modernizm w sztuce oraz emigracja Polaków. Marcin Borchardt zdradza, jak dziś, korzystając z nowych technologii, można na nowo interpretować polski film sprzed dekad. Na koniec pytamy, jakie są jego plany filmowe i dlaczego dokument to dla niego nieustanne odkrywanie nieznanego. Dowiesz się z tego odcinka: – Jak reżyser filmu „Moi Themersonowie” pracuje z archiwalną taśmą, by zamienić stare dokumenty w emocjonujące, nowoczesne kino? – Co sprawiło, że Bertrand Russell zachwycił się polską prozą i porównywał ją do najważniejszych antyutopii Orwella i Huxleya? – Czy polski eksperyment filmowy z lat 30. był bardziej rewolucyjny od zachodnich klasyków? Oś czasu: 00:00 – Najciekawsze fragmenty 00:09:26 – „Europa”: Filmy Themersonów na tle zachodniej awangardy 00:15:40 – Malarstwo Franciszki w zestawieniu z Baconem i Freudem 00:21:12 – Gaberbocchus Press i wydawanie „Króla Ubu” 00:31:00 – Jasia Reichardt: przewodniczka po Themersonach 00:45:50 – Co łączy Beksińskich, Halika i Themersonów?

Gala et Salvador Dali forment un couple mythique de l'histoire de l'art. Sans Gala, l'œuvre du peintre catalan ne serait pas la même. La femme fut une inspiration et un soutien constant pour l'artiste. En échange, Dali a toujours affiché sa loyauté et sa fidélité à son épouse. Il disait "J'aime Gala plus que ma mère, plus que mon père, plus que Picasso et plus que l'argent". Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecrit et raconté par Alice Deroide Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Art Ed Radio, Tim is joined by Kyle Wood, art teacher and host of the Who ARTed? podcast, for a fun romp through some of art history's funniest, strangest, and most surprisingly hilarious works. They dig into the surreal nightmare world of Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights, the dry conceptual wit of René Magritte, and the internet-breaking audacity of Maurizio Cattelan's Comedian (aka the duct-taped banana) along with a detour through Renaissance babies with male pattern baldness and Salvador Dalí's near-death by diving helmet.   Whether you're an art teacher looking to bring more humor into your classroom or just a fellow appreciator of the wonderfully weird, this episode is a perfect reminder that art history is both stranger and funnier than you might think. This month at The Art of Education, we're leaning into laughter, and there's no better place to start than right here.

Rock and roll meets theater in full force as I catch up with Alice Cooper ahead of this year's MMR*B*Q, and the conversation proves exactly why he remains one of the most enduring and fascinating figures in music. From the moment we start talking, Cooper is sharp, funny, and completely dialed in—still every bit the ringmaster of the dark carnival he's built his career on.We kick things off with the excitement surrounding the MMRBQ, where Cooper is set to help launch our summer concert season. He talks about how much he still values opportunities like this—not just to perform for longtime fans, but to win over entirely new audiences. For him, that discovery element is part of the magic. Even after decades on stage, there's something uniquely rewarding about watching younger fans experience his music and theatrical live show for the first time.When I ask how he'd approach breaking into the industry if he were starting fresh in 2026, Cooper doesn't hesitate—he says he'd still lean into originality and full commitment to a character. Trends may change, but bold identity and storytelling, he emphasizes, are timeless.We also get into his evolving live band, including the addition of 22-year-old guitarist Anna Cara, who is stepping in while longtime collaborator Nita Strauss takes time off. Cooper speaks enthusiastically about Cara's talent and energy, making it clear that fresh blood keeps the show exciting—not just for the audience, but for him as well.Of course, I ask about shock rock in an era where audiences have “seen it all.” Cooper's take? True shock today isn't just about visuals—it's about creativity, surprise, and pushing ideas in unexpected ways. That philosophy carries into how he builds his shows, blending music, narrative, and spectacle into one cohesive experience.Beyond the stage, Cooper opens up about his upcoming memoir, Devil on My Shoulder, which dives into stories from across his legendary career—including encounters with icons like Salvador Dalí and John Lennon. He also touches on his ever-growing list of projects, from his “Cooper Club” golf apparel line to special performances with Criss Angel in Las Vegas and future plans with the Hollywood Vampires.After six decades, Alice Cooper isn't slowing down—he's evolving. And if this conversation proves anything, it's that his passion for performance, storytelling, and connecting with fans is just as strong as ever.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this week's special Easter episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Prof. Albert Cheng of the University of Arkansas and Center for Strong Public Schools' Alisha Searcy speak with Dutch art historian Gijs van Hensbergen, author of Gaudí: A Biography and The Sagrada Familia: Gaudí's Heaven on Earth. They discuss the life, faith, and enduring legacy of Antoni Gaudí and his masterpiece, the Sagrada Família. Mr. van Hensbergen reflects on Gaudí's upbringing in Catalonia, where deep Catholic devotion, modern artistic dynamism, and the natural landscape shaped his unique architectural philosophy. He explores how Barcelona's Modernisme movement, alongside avant-garde artists like Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró, fostered Gaudí's distinctive blend of Neo-Gothic, Art Nouveau, and organic design. He highlights Gaudí's vision of the Sagrada Família as a “stone Bible,” uniting theology, geometry, and nature-inspired engineering. Mr. van Hensbergen also discusses the Nativity, Passion, and Glory façades, each representing key moments in the life of Jesus Christ, and the challenges of continuing construction after the destruction of Gaudí's plans and models during the Spanish Civil War. In closing, Mr. van Hensberger reflects on Gaudí's lasting influence and the spiritual and artistic significance of his work, by reading a passage from Gaudí: A Biography.

The Grand Palais in Paris this week unveiled an enormous exhibition focusing on the final 13 years of Henri Matisse's life and work, a project conceived by the Centre Pompidou. The show includes abundant examples of the celebrated gouache cut-outs, his works for the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence, and his final paintings, drawings, and illustrated books, among much else. Ben Luke interviews the exhibition's curator, the Centre Pompidou's Claudine Grammont, in Paris. The latest edition of Art Basel Hong Kong opened this week amid much uncertainty about the Hong Kong art world after a prolonged downturn in the Chinese economy. Yet, some commentators are suggesting that Hong Kong has turned a corner. The Art Newspaper's chief contributing editor, Gareth Harris, has been in Hong Kong this week and tells us what he discovered. And for this episode's Work of the Week, we focus on a related painting and dress. The painting is Salvador Dalí's Necrophiliac Spring (1936), which was owned by the fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli; the dress is the Tears Dress with Veil, from Schiaparelli's Circus Collection of 1938, made with a fabric designed by Dalí. The painting and the garment are in Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, which opens this weekend, and Ben talks to Rosalind McKeever, one of the three curators of the exhibition, about the pairing.Matisse 1941-1954, Grand Palais, Paris, until 26 July.

Um dos artistas mais famosos do século XX se envolve emuma polêmica que vai muito além da arte. Em meio à ascensão do nazismo naEuropa, Salvador Dalí passa a fazer declarações ambíguas sobre Adolf Hitler — echega a transformar essa figura em tema de suas próprias pinturas.O que para ele era uma “fascinação psicológica”, para ossurrealistas era inaceitável.Neste episódio do Art Talks, você vai entender como essaobsessão levou Dalí a um confronto direto com o grupo surrealista, culminandoem um verdadeiro “julgamento artístico”, sua famosa frase “Eu sou osurrealismo” e, anos depois, seu afastamento definitivo do movimento.A partir da análise de obras como O Enigma de Hitler,exploramos uma questão que continua atual: até que ponto é possível separararte e posicionamento político — especialmente diante de regimes autoritários?‘História da Arte sem tédio' é uma série do Art Talks queconta bastidores, conflitos e histórias reais por trás de grandes nomes daarte. É a História da Arte contada de forma acessível, envolvente e semlinguagem acadêmica — para ouvir no dia a dia, mesmo sem ser especialista.Roteiro, produção e locução: Thais de Albuquerque@thais.de.albuquerque

Matt and Michael open with a meditation on waiting—something they used to do constantly without realizing it. Remember standing outside school, wondering if your ride forgot you? Or running out of gas on the interstate with no cell phone? Those moments weren't just inconveniences; they were built-in spaces for our minds to wander, to sit with the unknown, to discover what we weren't looking for. The conversation spirals through the tension between "builder mode" and presence, the Dunning-Kruger effect of parenting, and why the most honest Oscar speech is simply "I want to thank God." They land on a paradox: the more skilled you become at anything, the less certain you feel. Along the way: Salvador Dalí's spoon trick, the MMA fighter's fiancée, why Chesterton says true believers in themselves end up in asylums, and whether we're wired for God—or just wired to need something bigger than ourselves. Cheers y'all

La Fundació Dalí ha presentat Dalí News, una nova revista dirigida per la directora Montse Aguer que neix amb la voluntat d'esdevenir un espai de reflexió cultural i intel·lectual a partir de l'univers de Salvador Dalí.

Salvador Dalí no fue solo el pintor del bigote imposible y los relojes blandos. Fue también un sujeto sexualmente incómodo, contradictorio y profundamente no normativo, cuya vida afectiva y erótica ha sido simplificada durante décadas por una historiografía demasiado cómoda con la versión matrimonial y domesticada del personaje. En este episodio de Grandes Maricas de la Historia, nos adentramos en la sexualidad no heteronormativa de Dalí desde una perspectiva rigurosa, crítica y sin concesiones: su relación con Federico García Lorca, su miedo al coito, el papel singular de Gala, el voyeurismo, la masturbación, la fascinación por la androginia y el testimonio tardío de Carlos Lozano. Todo ello dentro del contexto represivo, médico y moral de la España de su tiempo. Y, como remate, nos asomamos al Dalí final: el artista convertido en marca, el genio reciclado en reclamo publicitario, el hombre que terminó diseñando el logo de Chupa Chups y vendiéndose al mejor postor como si también el surrealismo pudiera envolverse en papel brillante y ponerse a la venta. Un episodio sobre deseo, miedo, espectáculo, armario, mercado y esa extraña capacidad daliniana para convertirlo absolutamente todo, hasta su propia contradicción, en performance.

L'histoire ressemble à une fable surréaliste, et pourtant, elle est parfaitement vraie. Elle se déroule en 1965, à une époque où Dalí est déjà une star mondiale, conscient que sa vie elle-même est devenue une œuvre d'art.Cette année-là, la compagnie Air India souhaite renforcer son image luxueuse auprès de ses clients VIP. L'idée est simple : commander à Salvador Dalí une série d'objets exclusifs, capables de transformer un banal vol long-courrier en expérience artistique. Dalí accepte le projet : il dessinera 500 cendriers, chacun orné de figures oniriques, éléphants aux pattes démesurées, symboles chers à son imaginaire.Vient alors la question du paiement. Combien réclame le maître du surréalisme ? Une somme astronomique ? De l'or ? Un cachet à six chiffres ? Dalí surprend tout le monde. Il refuse l'argent. Il ne veut ni chèque, ni contrat classique. Ce qu'il exige est autrement plus déroutant : un éléphant vivant.Les dirigeants d'Air India pensent d'abord à une provocation, puis comprennent que Dalí est parfaitement sérieux. Pour lui, l'éléphant n'est pas un caprice exotique, mais une obsession artistique. Dans son œuvre, l'animal incarne la force, la mémoire, le poids du monde porté par des jambes frêles. Posséder un éléphant, c'est prolonger sa création dans la réalité.La compagnie accepte. Et quelques semaines plus tard, un événement totalement improbable se produit : un éléphanteau de deux ans est chargé dans un avion cargo et envoyé en Europe. À son arrivée, Dalí organise une réception spectaculaire, digne d'un happening artistique. La presse est conviée, les invités fascinés. Dalí parade, théâtral, comme s'il venait de recevoir un chef-d'œuvre… alors qu'il l'a lui-même commandé.Pendant un temps, l'éléphant devient une attraction, presque une extension vivante de l'univers dalinien. Mais la magie s'estompe. Un éléphant n'est pas une sculpture : il grandit, il mange, il impose une logistique bien réelle. Peu à peu, Dalí se lasse. Le symbole devient contrainte.Quelques années plus tard, l'animal est confié au Zoo de Barcelone, où il finira sa vie loin des projecteurs et du surréalisme.Cette histoire résume parfaitement Dalí. Pour lui, l'art ne s'arrêtait jamais au cadre. Il transformait chaque commande en performance, chaque transaction en récit. Se faire payer en éléphant n'était pas une excentricité gratuite, mais une manière de rappeler au monde que, chez Dalí, la réalité devait toujours se plier à l'imaginaire. Et parfois, cela passait par un éléphanteau livré par avion. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Àngel Guimerà fue uno de los grandes nombres del teatro catalán, símbolo cultural de la Renaixença y autor de clásicos como Terra baixa o Mar i cel. Pero detrás del monumento literario existía también una vida personal mucho más compleja de lo que la historiografía oficial quiso admitir. En este episodio de Grandes Maricas de la Historia exploramos la biografía íntima del dramaturgo: su soltería persistente, las cartas con Tomàs Rigualt, la convivencia durante décadas con Pere Aldavert, los poderes notariales mutuos firmados en San Valentín de 1910 y la tumba compartida en el cementerio de Montjuïc. Entre el contexto moral del siglo XIX, la presión social sobre la homosexualidad y el escándalo provocado por Salvador Dalí tras su muerte, reconstruimos la historia de un autor cuya vida afectiva probablemente desafió las normas de su tiempo. Porque, como tantas veces ocurre en la historia, lo que se silenció durante décadas no desapareció: simplemente quedó esperando a que alguien volviera a leer entre líneas.

This week, we dive headfirst into Absolute Wonder Woman — a reimagining of Diana raised in hell by Circe — and we can't stop talking about how good this book is. We break down why this version finally captures the heart of Wonder Woman, why compassion is her real superpower, and why this heavy-metal redesign absolutely works. Along the way, we detour through Conan, grindhouse cinema, crocodile cult horror, and Peter's descent into AI-powered app building. It's a wild one — but mostly, we're here to say: go read this comic.Show NotesOpening Catch-Up

L'Eurovision est-il en train de vivre la fin d'une ère ?

Why was Jean-François Millet's The Angelus considered highly controversial and politically divisive in pre-industrial 19th-century France? What do we know about his personal background, his ambiguous relationship with his subjects, and the scene of the famous Barbizon School? And, how did artists like Salvador Dalí and Vincent Van Gogh draw inspiration and reinterpret the painting?  In this new The Rest Is History Club series, Tom is joined by art critic and author Laura Cumming to discuss the histories behind famous paintings and put them in their historical contexts.

Not all art is love at first sight. This week, we spotlight the hard-to-get artists — those acquired tastes who confuse you before they convert you. In the conversation, we celebrate bold originals like Richard Corben and Tony Salmons, unpacking how their styles challenged comic readers and pushed boundaries within the medium. Beyond the panel borders, we cite rule-breakers Ralph Steadman and Jean-Michel Basquiat, alongside surreal giants Frida Kahlo and Salvador Dalí — artists who proved that being  “strange” isn't a flaw, it's a feature. We also swap stories about artists who weren't our cup of tea when we were younger, and how second and third looks turned skepticism into respect. Then we ask the hard stuff: Does great art require effort from its audience? And is it okay if some art leaves people behind?

Get ready for a mind-bending episode of the "Money" Market Podcast where we step into a world of melting clocks and cutting edge technology.

She shares the twists and turns of her career journey and how curiosity fueled every step. From projection mapping to VR worlds to interactive installations, Beth reveals how the museum pushes creative boundaries every day to provide a one-of-a-kind art experience. She breaks down how the museum collaborates with creators, tech partners, and even OpenAI to bring Dalí's imagination to life in unexpected ways. Learn how the team designs emotionally powerful installations that make visitors feel awe, wonder, and a sense of personal connection. You'll hear examples of how emotion guides their tech choices, not the other way around. This episode is packed with inspiration, big ideas, and a reminder that creativity thrives when art and tech collide.   WATCH NEXT: RECOVERING PINELLAS REAL ESTATE WITH JULIE LARSEN https://youtu.be/gs06ai2i4WQ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz_7yNs7dOuyKApAkohqJIQ   Follow The "Money" Market Podcast here:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6e7E0DaJZQkuw339G7nGI4?si=27d047641a1d4b17 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-money-market-podcast/id1733948143 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneymarketpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneymarketpodcast Website: https://moneymarketpodcast.com    The Bank of Tampa | Member FDIC

Andy Warhol is one of the most recognisable artists of the 20th century, but after his death in 1987, it was what he owned that truly shocked the art world. Hidden inside his New York townhouse was a vast, obsessive, and deeply personal collection: furniture, fine art, kitsch, cookie jars, watches… and an extraordinary cache of jewellery he never wore in public. In this episode, we explore Andy Warhol the collector — from flea-market finds to Cartier, from Elsa Peretti for Tiffany to surrealist jewels by Salvador Dalí, modernist designs by Jean Després and the aquamarine parure once worn by Joan Crawford. We unpack the legendary Sotheby's auctions that followed his death, the records they broke, and the moment a second secret stash of jewels and watches was discovered hidden in false-bottom drawers. A story of taste, obsession, secrecy, and the quiet extravagance behind one of art's loudest icons. www.courtville.ie Get social with Courtville, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok This podcast was produced for Courtville by Tape Deck

Abrimos La Ventana del Arte con Miquel de Pozo para hablar de La Madona de Portlligat de Salvador Dalí.

For the 42nd episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Dr. Matthew Affron, Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art at the Philadelphia Art Museum, about his book "Dreamworld: Surrealism at 100," published by the museum and distributed by Yale University Press.Their conversation traces Surrealism from its 1924 origins in André Breton's manifesto—which asked "how should we live?"—to its evolution as both an artistic movement and a philosophy of liberation. Affron shows how Surrealism emerged not as a singular style but as a set of strategies for merging dream and reality, expressed through automatism, collage, found objects, and juxtaposition—techniques designed to bypass conscious control and access the unconscious.They discuss how the movement's early lyrical explorations gave way in the 1930s to urgent responses to fascism's rise, with monsters and hybrids becoming visual metaphors for political evil. Affron examines the wartime diaspora that transformed Surrealism from a Parisian phenomenon into an international force, as artists fled to Mexico City and New York, drawing on indigenous North American imagery alongside European traditions.Affron emphasizes that Surrealist images are not transcriptions of dreams but invitations into unstable territory where thinking, desiring, and imagining intersect. He explains why these works reward openness to surprise over attempts to decode them, and how their techniques—now part of popular culture—keep Surrealism relevant for contemporary audiences.For anyone interested in modern art's avant-garde movements, the intersection of art and politics, or how creative communities adapt under pressure, this episode offers essential insights into a movement that continues to shape how we think about imagination and freedom.ABOUT THE AUTHORMatthew Affron is the Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art at the Philadelphia Art Museum. He holds a Ph.D. in art history from Yale University and has published extensively on early abstract art, Fernand Léger, and modern art's relationship to politics. His previous books include Paint the Revolution: Mexican Modernism, 1910–1950, The Essential Duchamp, and Inventing Abstraction, 1910-1925.ABOUT THE EXHIBITION"Dreamworld: Surrealism at 100" is on view at the Philadelphia Art Museum through February 16, 2026.

Brian Walshe has been convicted of first-degree murder in the death of his wife Ana Walshe. After just six hours of deliberation, a Norfolk County jury found the fifty-year-old Cohasset man guilty of premeditated murder, making this one of the rare cases where a conviction was secured without the victim's body ever being recovered. Ana Walshe was a thirty-nine-year-old mother of three who disappeared on New Year's Day 2023. Prosecutors presented devastating digital evidence including Google searches from Brian's devices for best way to dispose of a body, hacksaw best tool to dismember, and how long for someone to be missing to inherit. Surveillance footage showed him purchasing a hacksaw, Tyvek suit, and cleaning supplies at Lowe's on New Year's Day. Investigators recovered blood-stained items from dumpsters including Ana's Hunter boots, pieces of carpet with her DNA, and a hacksaw that tested positive for her blood. But this was not Brian Walshe's first calculated crime. Years earlier, he allegedly stole nearly eight hundred thousand dollars from his own father during a home refinance deal and then vanished for over a decade. When Dr. Thomas Walshe died in 2018, he left Brian nothing in his will but his best wishes. According to court filings, Brian got into his father's home before anyone else, allegedly destroyed the will, and convinced probate court he was the rightful heir. He drained at least two hundred fifty thousand dollars from bank accounts and sold off a Salvador Dalí painting, a Miró, oriental rugs, and jewelry before the scheme was stopped. One longtime family friend wrote that Brian had been diagnosed as a sociopath at Austen Riggs psychiatric hospital. The pattern is impossible to ignore: forge, destroy, manipulate, and take what is not yours. Brian Walshe now faces mandatory life in prison without parole. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheVerdict #GuiltyVerdict #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #CohassetMurder #JusticeForAna #FirstDegreeMurder #TrueCrimeNews #ThomasWalshe #InheritanceFraud #CrimePodcast #TrueCrimeYouTube #MassachusettsCrime #NoBodyMurder #LifeInsuranceMurder #TrueCrimeCommunity #CriminalJustice #CourtroomVerdict Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Years before Brian Walshe was charged with murdering and dismembering his wife Ana, he allegedly pulled off another calculated crime—this time against his own father. Dr. Thomas Walshe, a prominent neurologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, hadn't spoken to his son in over a decade when he died unexpectedly while traveling in India in September 2018. And for good reason: according to court documents, Brian had stolen nearly $800,000 from his father during a Lenox home refinance deal years earlier—took the check, then vanished for over a decade.  Thomas made his feelings clear in his will, leaving his only child "my best wishes but nothing else from my estate." He even appointed his nephew Andrew as executor. But Brian, according to family friends, got into his father's Hull home before anyone else, allegedly destroyed the will, then convinced Plymouth County Probate Court he was the rightful heir. By the time Thomas's friends intervened, Brian had already drained at least $250,000 from bank accounts, sold off a Salvador Dalí painting, a Miró, oriental rugs, jewelry, even the car—and nearly unloaded the waterfront house itself.  The only reason the scheme was stopped? One of Thomas's friends had photographed the will with his cell phone. Court filings also reveal allegations that Brian once tried to smuggle antiquities out of China and allegedly attacked guards when confronted. One longtime friend wrote that Brian was diagnosed as a sociopath at Austen Riggs psychiatric hospital. The pattern here is impossible to ignore: allegedly forge, destroy, manipulate, and take what isn't yours. This is the same man now accused of killing his wife days after learning of her affair—and standing to collect $2.7 million in life insurance.
