Wuthering Heights is a story full of passion, violence and sexual tension.So it's no surprise that it shocked Victorian readers when it first came out.

And how accurate is the new film to the original story?!Joining Kate today is Dr Claire O'Callaghan, author and Brontë scholar, to take us back to Victorian England at the peak of the Industrial Revolution, and find out more about this scandalous story.For tickets to the live show of Betwixt the Sheets in May, follow the link here https://www.fane.co.uk/betwixt-the-sheets This episode was edited by Hannah Feodorov.

Recently, the Washington Post ran a story headlined "8 political sex scandals that threw the nation into a frenzy." Longtime Post reporter Roxanne Roberts wrote that story. Here's one politician who made Roxanne Roberts' list: "We're all going to have to seriously question the system for selecting our national leaders that reduces the press of this nation to hunters and presidential candidates to being hunted, that has reporters in bushes, false and inaccurate stories printed, photographers peeking in our windows, swarms of helicopters hovering over our roof and my very strong wife close to tears because she can't even get in her own house at night without being harassed. And then, after all that, ponderous pundits wonder in mock seriousness why some of the best people in this country choose not to run for high office."   Who was that and how did he get on the list of 8? Who are the other seven? What's the history behind each of the frenzies? And what do they all have in common? In the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "Extreme Mortman" – find out. Our very special guest -- Roxanne Roberts herself – she goes through each of the political sex scandals which made her Washington Post list. And we hear clips about the scandals from most of the politicians and those individuals they were involved with. It's a special two-parter of "Extreme Mortman." This week's episode is part 2.

Explosive new claims reopen the darkest chapter of the House of York. Fresh reporting alleges Sarah Ferguson carried on an affair inside Prince Andrew's private study — while he slept upstairs. The accusations, drawn from multiple books and former household staff, revive memories of the York marriage's spectacular collapse and the Palace's fury at Ferguson's behaviour.Meanwhile, biographer Andrew Lownie says the dam has finally burst. Former protection officers, diplomats, naval figures, and palace insiders are now coming forward daily with new allegations about Andrew, prompting plans for a sequel rather than a simple book update. Sources warn there is now enough material to haunt the monarchy for years, with fears Andrew could ultimately flee abroad if pressure escalates further.We also look at why Lownie's newly announced Prince Philip project has triggered quiet alarm inside royal circles, as well as the contrast on display elsewhere in the family: Catherine releases a deeply personal cancer recovery film marking her birthday, while Queen Camilla promotes the growing reach of her Reading Room charity. As the York scandals resurface yet again, the Palace faces an uncomfortable truth — some ghosts simply refuse to stay buried.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

We live in an era where scandals often fail to make much of a dent in the reputations of the rich and famous, and today's story illustrates that this sad situation isn't really new. In 1870s Brooklyn, a famous preacher named Henry Ward Beecher had a problem in his private life. He was having affairs. Lots and lots of affairs. But it was his affair with Elizabeth Tilton, the wife of his close friend Ted, that would scandalize the nation - without ever delivering any consequences to Henry himself.

This week's episode captures a country in tension and transition. We unpack the stunning firing of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore and what it says about accountability in high-profile institutions. We then turn to Pennsylvania, where Governor Josh Shapiro's million-dollar security upgrades spark debate over public safety, transparency, and political optics. Finally, we zoom out to Netflix's massive media ambitions and the antitrust backlash they're fueling. From sports to politics to corporate power, this conversation asks a bigger question: what does responsibility look like in America right now?

Investigative journalists ⁠Mandy Matney⁠ and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠ expose a shocking case of alleged retaliation at Horry County Police Department. When CIT Investigator Kelsey Manemeit filed a sexual harassment complaint against Deputy County Administrator Randy Webster—whose name adorns a $24 million building—she expected justice. Instead, she and county PIO Mikayla Moskov were accused of participating in a allegedly fabricated "sex scandal" and forced to resign. Attorney Jonny McCoy shares how HCPD Chief Kris Leonhardt allegedly weaponized an internal affairs investigation to punish women who reported misconduct, while Webster quietly retired with his reputation intact. Today we examine disturbing text messages, questionable timelines, and a pattern of alleged corruption in the same department that failed Mica Francis Miller and Scott Spivey. Did transparency claims mask retaliation, and why did this case represent a reckoning for Horry County's Good Ole Boy network? Tune into Jonny McCoy's Facebook to watch his press conference at THURSDAY November 13 at 2 pm

Former ESPN host drops BOMBSHELL on Shannon Sharpe returning to ESPN after SEX SCANDAL!

Two corrections: The pronunciation of Beaulieu is closer to "B-you-ly" or BYOO-lee. In the episode, I mention that the age of consent was 16. That was the age of consent for heterosexuals only. Homosexuality was illegal across all ages until a minor reform in 1967. The Sexual Offences Act 1967 legalized homosexual acts between two men over 21 in private. This did not apply to the armed forces or the merchant navy. Lesbian acts were never criminalized, so there was no legal age of consent.  In the spring of 1953, four men, including a British lord and two RAF officers, would become the focus of a national homosexual sex scandal—one that would destroy reputations, shock the country, and ultimately help change the law. From the moment I read about this scandal many years ago, I was fascinated. As an American, I have to confess, I cannot fully understand the British class situation. It seems that Lord Montagu's penchant for surrounding himself with "commoners" seemed to alarm those in his social strata to such a degree that open season was declared on him and any of the lower orders around him. Montagu and Peter Wildeblood were from similar backgrounds, but when Wildeblood and his RAF boyfriend spent the weekend at Montague's estate, the event presented the perfect opportunity to come down hard on Montagu.  The result was something of a show trial with a preordained conclusion. That level of invasion of privacy led to a change in the law.       

Gouvernour Morris is a lesser-known American Founding Father (that was his name btw, not his job title). He was so full of BDE that he headed over to France in the midst of the Revolution to a) be the Ambassador and b) fuck.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! Julius Caesar...military genius, fashion icon, drama queen, and oh yeah—murdered by 60 of his coworkers. We've all heard the name before. Maybe you think of togas, Caesar salads (not from him btw), or that phrase "Beware the Ides of March." Whatever that means. But Caesar's real story? Lemme tell you... way messier than what they told us in school. From pirate kidnappings to public sex scandals, and flexing on his enemies to literally dumping a bucket of #2 on a senator's head— history remembers this man as some regal leader. But he was pure chaos. And his murder? Less Shakespearian tragedy and more Game of Thrones energy. So why did Rome turn on their “god”? And did Caesar kind of have it coming? Let's get into it. This is the Dark History of Julius Caesar. I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show.

We are on day 3 of the Fox Sports sex scandalpalooza and we have a very special episode planned today. Former NFL player and former Fox Sports host Marcellus Wiley sits with Whitlock to unpack the sports tyrant's collapse. Ironic how the two guys who were run out of Fox Sports because they asked too many questions and preached the truth now are on the outside looking in, mocking the very people who mocked them. Steve Kim also joins the show to talk about the NFL off-season. Antonio Pierce is fired as the Las Vegas Raiders' head coach. Bill Simmons claims the reason why the NFL is headed down a bad path is because of DEI leadership. Who is more likely to remain employed: Joy Taylor or Sam Darnold? Jason has become a meme across social media. His face has now become a meme used to react to women's large breasts. You can't even make this stuff up. While the mainstream legacy media burns, we will rise from the ashes. Tune in to “Fearless.” We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

The bigger they are, the harder they fall! Welcome back to the Fearless Army in the new year. The times may be changing, but our mission forever stays the same. Fox Sports, the sports media giant, has recently been embroiled in a massive sexual misconduct scandal. Whitlock further exposes some of the secrets he uncovered from his short time at Fox. Skip Bayless, Joy Taylor, and Shannon Sharpe all have their part to play in this dumpster fire. Maybe 2025 will be another year of truth? Steve Kim also joins the show to weigh in on the Fox Sports blunder. An eventful week 18 in the NFL brings a host of new stories. Our local Titans receive the No. 1 overall pick, Jerod Mayo becomes the failure heir apparent to the cut-off hoodie, an NFC North showdown on SNF, and much more. Lastly, Shemeka makes her 2025 appearance, taking Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark to school on how to properly dress.

With Trump's imminent return to the White House, we've decided to take stock of how political and journalistic norms have evolved over the years. For this week's midweek podcast, we're sharing an episode from Radiolab that aired in October, on the whirlwind history of Gary Hart, a young charismatic Democrat who in 1987 was poised to win his party's nomination and possibly the presidency – until a bombshell sex scandal derailed it all. Brooke Gladstone and Radiolab co-host Latif Nasser discuss that history, and why sex scandals don't really matter anymore.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

We are without a shortage of sex scandals from Jeffrey Epstein to P. Diddy and, now implicated Jay-Z. But sex scandals from the highest echelons of entertainment, social elites, and political juggernauts are nothing new. In fact, Alexander Hamilton was once outed for having an affair with a married woman and Thomas Jefferson was proven to have been sleeping with his slave. Unfortunately, the trend continues with seemingly increasing high profile cases against these villains and their sexual improprieties. Today, I'm joined by investigative journalist, Nick Bryant to talk about his decades-long work against child sex-trafficking. Today, Nick and I talk about the similarities between Epstein and Diddy, why and how these blackmailing strategies turn into political weapons and assets, why these pedophiles get caught when they do, and what a man can do to protect his loved ones and serve a greater calling to destroy these rats.

In 1987, Gary Hart was a young charismatic Democrat, poised to win his party's nomination and possibly the presidency. Many of us know the story of what happened next, and even if you don't, it's a familiar tale. Back in 2016, we examined how, when this happened, politicians and political reporters found themselves in uncharted territory. And with help from author Matt Bai, we looked at how the events of that May shaped the way we cover politics, and expanded our sense of what's appropriate when it comes to judging a candidate.In the wake of the 2016 election, and in the throes of our current political moment, it would seem we've come full circle in the weirdest way. So we sat down with Brooke Gladstone, co-host of our sister show here at WNYC, On the Media, to talk about why sex scandals don't matter anymore. We have some exciting news! In the “Zoozve” episode, Radiolab named its first-ever quasi-moon, and now it's your turn!
