Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have condemned photographers they say spent hours watching Archie and Lilibet's school, with police now investigating the incident. According to ITV News and Sky News, two men carrying backpacks were spotted near the school before leaving in a rented van. The Sussexes' spokesperson called the alleged behavior “extraordinarily reckless,” while details of the incident have reportedly been passed to the committee reviewing the family's request for police protection.The incident brings Harry's long-running security battle back into focus just weeks after Archie and Lilibet changed schools. Meanwhile, Harry's potential connection with Jeff Bezos and Amazon is attracting criticism, with The Independent questioning whether an alliance with one of the world's wealthiest businessmen sits comfortably alongside Harry's public advocacy on issues including climate change and burnout.Harry's sustainable travel initiative Travalyst has also reported a small financial loss for 2025, which the organization describes as planned investment, while Meghan's latest As Ever promotional video has received the full parody treatment online.And William and Catherine joined Sir Kevin Sinfield as he completed another stage of his seven-ultramarathons-in-seven-days challenge supporting motor neurone disease charities. Catherine also took time with a nervous young girl during a visit to Headingley Stadium before later turning up on residents' doorsteps to help passengers aboard a community minibus.Questions this episode answers: What happened outside Archie and Lilibet's school? Why are police investigating photographers near the Sussex children? What did Harry and Meghan say about the incident? Could the incident affect Prince Harry's security review?

Ari Emanuel has delivered a remarkably blunt answer about Meghan Markle's Hollywood future following the end of her relationship with William Morris Endeavor. Asked about Meghan by The Sunday Times, Emanuel replied, “Here's the great thing: I don't have to think about that anymore.” Meghan signed with WME in 2023, but the agency stopped representing her in 2025.Meanwhile, Meghan is sharing new hosting advice through As Ever, while a separate report claims she wants guests to sign confidentiality agreements before certain dinners where private family or royal matters could be discussed. That NDA claim comes from unnamed sources in Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack. Photographs of Archie and Lilibet have also reportedly appeared in an Architectural Digest feature on Gloria Steinem's Manhattan home, including an image of Steinem with Archie and a Sussex family Christmas card.Plus, a branding expert estimates that Prince Harry could command as much as one million dollars for an exclusive appearance, while commentator Angela Levin has some very strong opinions about Harry and Meghan remaining in Britain.And away from the Sussexes, Prince Edward is visiting the United States and Canada, while Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, is winning praise after carrying on with a royal tour of Zambia despite her luggage failing to arrive.Questions this episode answers: What did Ari Emanuel say about Meghan Markle? Why did WME stop representing Meghan? Does Meghan Markle require NDAs at private dinners? Were new photographs of Archie and Lilibet revealed? How much could Prince Harry earn for a speaking appearance? What is Prince Edward doing in America? And what happened to Sophie's luggage during her royal tour?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/palace-intrigue-harry-meghan-the-crown-royal-family-news-and-gossip--4522904/support.Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor.

Alice is a long-distance bike tourer, drone pilot, and freelance creative who designs her adventures around self-imposed rules and unconventional challenges. Based in a van and working with Komoot, she uses cycling as both a mode of transport and a way to deeply explore the landscapes of Britain. Her journeys are anything but ordinary. In 2021, Alice cycled through every town and village in Sussex, covering over 1,000 miles without leaving the county. The following year, she completed a full cycle of the British coastline. In 2023, she attempted an even more ambitious challenge—travelling from Shoreham to Oldshoremore in as straight a line across Britain as possible. In this episode, Alice shares how she first discovered bike touring, what inspired her to take on increasingly creative endurance challenges, and why she is drawn to journeys that combine geography, problem-solving, and adventure. She talks about life on the road in a van, the logistics behind her rides, and the realities of planning multi-week cycling expeditions using everything from paper maps to GPS apps. We explore the highs and lows of long-distance cycling, from wild camping and weather challenges to moments of complete freedom on remote coastal routes. Alice also reflects on what she has learned from designing her own rules for adventure, and why letting go of perfection has opened the door to more meaningful experiences. Listen to this episode to hear how cycling can become a creative practice, why the UK is full of endless adventure opportunities, and how setting your own rules might just be the best way to explore the world. *** New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)!

Before the 1990s, international institutions and mainstream political figures seldom used the term. Then came the Serb atrocities in Croatia and Bosnia, and ethnic cleansing gained wide acceptance.What does it mean? Does it have a legal grounding? Or is it a euphemism for genocide?

Prince Harry jumped out of a plane near Toronto to keep a promise to 102-year-old Second World War veteran Ed Marshall, then immediately called Meghan Markle after landing safely. Harry says Meghan was “very relieved” to hear he was back on the ground. He also offered a rare update on Archie and Lilibet, saying the children are happy at school following the Sussex family's return to Britain. Meanwhile, Meghan's latest outings are attracting criticism over privacy and security after photographs from another English pub visit appeared online. We also look at Meghan bringing back the “PH 40” baseball cap she created for Harry's fortieth birthday, and the reaction to footage of Harry walking through New York apparently unnoticed by passersby. Plus, Amazon is reportedly discussing a major sponsorship deal involving the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, with reports claiming Kris Jenner helped make connections involving Meghan and Lauren Sánchez. Invictus organizers dispute suggestions that the Games face a funding shortfall, saying the event already has the funding required for delivery.And could another confrontation with Buckingham Palace be coming? Commentators are questioning whether Harry and Meghan's private engagements increasingly resemble royal tours and what that could mean for their relationship with King Charles and the Royal Family.Questions this episode answers: Why did Prince Harry go skydiving in Canada?

Le 30 avril 1945, jour du suicide d'Hitler, une femme prend un bain dans sa baignoire personnelle à Munich, quelques heures après avoir photographié l'horreur du camp de Dachau tout juste libéré. Cette femme, c'est Lee Miller : ancienne mannequin vedette de Vogue, muse et collaboratrice de Man Ray à Paris, puis l'une des très rares femmes correspondantes de guerre accréditées par l'armée américaine.Dans cet épisode d'Art au Féminin, on retrace le parcours de Lee Miller : son enfance marquée par un traumatisme dont elle ne parlera jamais, sa rencontre avec Man Ray et leur découverte conjointe de la solarisation photographique (une technique que l'Histoire a longtemps attribuée à lui seul), sa couverture du Blitz à Londres pour Vogue UK, puis son entrée à Dachau et cette photographie devenue l'une des images les plus commentées de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.Pendant trente ans après la guerre, elle n'en parlera à personne. Ses milliers de négatifs dormiront dans un grenier du Sussex, découverts par son fils Antony Penrose après sa mort.Troisième épisode de la série septembre 2026 : Celles qui tenaient l'appareil.Abonnez-vous pour ne rien manquer, et si ce projet vous touche, une note cinq étoiles aide énormément à le faire connaître.Instagram et FacebookART au féminin le siteSoutenir ART au féminin

Staying competitive requires being proactive. Networking, learning about industries firsthand, exploring unfamiliar companies, and building relationships can be as important as submitting applications. Business school is more than the classroom. Internships, company visits, experiential projects, exchanges, career services, and peer networks can help students develop the skills and exposure they need to navigate what comes next.

For this week's story we're throwing caution to the wind, preparing for societal collapse, and offering you a different kind of folk nightmare.Written by Martin, Chocorua follows the main story beats of one of New Hampshire's most famous legends, only with the titular Native American chief replaced by a radicalized white nationalist struggling through the Covid-19 pandemic.It might not make for comforting listening, but if you're up for a nightmarish, paranoid, tech-savvy survivalist thriller then this one is for you - and if you're not, well, we hope you'll give it a try anyway, as we're pretty sure you won't have heard anything quite like it before.Drawing on Lydia Maria Child's fictional tale "Chocorua's Curse" as published in The Token magazine in 1830, and long years attempting to understand the mindset of America's radical Libertarians, it a offers a look over the edge and into the abyss where hopefully, despite everything, something sympathetic looks back...About Three Ravens

Babes in the Wood Murders /// Chapter 2 Chapter 2 /// The Murder of Margaret Frame www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Babes in the Wood Murders - Chapter 2 /// The Murder of Margaret Frame In the late 1970s sexual assault attacks were on the rise in Brighton, England. London saw a very similar uptick in crimes against women and child as well. By the autumn of 1978, Brighton and the wider Sussex area were already gripped by fear. Reports in the press asked how many potential sex attackers might be prowling the streets of Sussex during the long, dark nights of that coming winter. Violence against women, sexual assaults, attacks after dark had become urgent public concerns. Then Margaret Frame went missing walking home through Stanmer Park after a work shift. The same day that her remains were found another women nearby, Ann Dubeau was stabbed to death in the kitchen of her home.

What if the way most of us travel—rushing between crowded landmarks and snapping quick photos—is actually preventing us from connecting with the true soul of a place?In this episode of TALKdesign, host Adrian Ramsay sits down with close friend Wenna Privé, founder of Eratō Retreats, to explore the magic of slow travel, the emotional concept of "Alma" (soul in space), and how small, design-led walking journeys are changing the way women experience the world.Drawing on her extensive background in luxury hospitality, Wenna shares what transforms a simple trip into a deeply memorable, life-changing journey. The secret lies in connection: to local people, to centuries-old craft traditions, to the history embedded in stone walls, and to the shared human energy of those traveling alongside you. Together, Adrian and Wenna explore the stark difference between generic modern "box" architecture and spaces built with genuine character, story, and warmth.In this episode, we dive into:• The Concept of "Alma" (Soul): Why a 500-year-old stone house in Provence feels fundamentally different from a 50-story concrete box.• Intimacy Over Mass Tourism: How capping retreat groups at 6 to 8 women removes the cattle-prod feel of traditional tours and creates space for lifelong friendships.• Preserving Local Heritage: The magic of visiting third-generation artisans, like sandal makers in Saint-Tropez handcrafting leather since the 1920s.• Refilling the Creative Cup: How daily walks through wild landscapes—from the chalk cliffs of Sussex to French villages—act as a natural remedy for burnout.• "Favourite People, Favourite Spaces": Why the emotional energy we share within an environment ultimately defines our memory of it.Whether you are a creative seeking to recharge your inspiration or a traveller longing for a richer, more meaningful adventure, this conversation will change how you look at place, design, and connection.⏯️ CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS:02:15 - Introducing Wenna Privé & The Story of Eratō Retreats05:00 - The Romance of Slow Travel & Meaningful Connections10:30 - Curation in the Nuances: Light, Linen, & Quiet Spaces15:15 - Choosing Unforgettable Places: From the Seven Sisters to Provence24:00 - Why Small Groups (6–8 People) Change Everything36:00 - Connecting with Local Artisans & 1920s Sandal Makers in Saint-Tropez43:30 - The Loss of Soul in Modern Cities & Thomas Heatherwick's 'Humanise'54:00 - Understanding "Alma": Feeling the Presence of Space01:08:00 - Solo Travel vs. Group Safety & Curing Creative Burnout01:22:00 - Refilling Your Creative Cup & Final Inspiration#TALKdesign #AdrianRamsay #SlowTravel #EratoRetreats #WennaPrive #ArchitectureAndDesign #DesignMagic #SlowMovement #BiophilicDesign #CreativeWellness #UKRetreats #ProvenceTravel #DesignPodcast Hosted on Acast.

Time to break off your search for the Great Carbuncle and adventure through New Hampshire, the "Granite State!"We start with the story of Oceanborn Mary and then discuss New Hampshire's rugged terrain and the centuries-long struggles to define its borders. From the "Presidential Range" and the now collapsed iconic 'Great Stone Face' to the state's 18-mile sea coast and northern forests, it's a pretty wild ride.Speaking of wild rides, we also debunk some of the mythology surrounding Paul Revere, explore how some of New Hampshire's most famous 'Native American' legends are not Native American at all, and do discover some New Hampshire originals, alongside some reheated stories that originated on our side of the Atlantic...We include extracts from Saturday's Local Legends interview with the wonderful Roxie Zwicker of New England Curiosities and Wicked Curious Radio, and quarry our way inside tales including The Deerfield Booms, the dubious mystique of "America's Stonehenge" and a whole tonne of cryptids, from the Devil Monkey of Danville to "Winnie" - another localized variation on the Loch Ness Monster!From the grim history of The Witch of Hampton to Odzihózo, "the giant who created himself", to The Wood Devils of Coös County and New Hampshire's intriguing interpretations of Libertarian philosophy, it's a folkloric banquet - and that's not even mentioning this week's maple syrup-infused State Dinner!About Three Ravens
Why are online commenters claiming Prince Harry used a body double in Meghan Markle's family fishing video? Questions about Harry's hair have prompted speculation about digital editing and a stand-in, but the script offers no evidence supporting those theories.Harry is scheduled to attend London's WellChild Awards today before traveling to New York for the Clinton Global Initiative. What will he do at the awards, and will his charity appearances help define his new public life in Britain?Meanwhile, is Prince William's relationship with Harry now a “very, very cold war”? Royal commentators assess whether the brothers can share public occasions even without a private reconciliation.Plus, why does Nicola Sturgeon argue that abolishing the monarchy would benefit Prince George? Critics question the Sussex school-change narrative, while Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, visits Zambia to champion eye care, meet female business leaders and deliver royal honey.

Will King Charles III open Prince Harry's Invictus Games in Birmingham in 2027? As Commander-in-Chief, could Charles feel obligated to support the military competition despite his latest dispute with Harry and Meghan Markle—and would appearing alongside the Sussexes blur the Palace's insistence that they remain private citizens?We also examine a growing religious controversy surrounding the King. Is Charles still “Defender of the Faith,” or is Buckingham Palace redefining him as a monarch who “protects the space for Faith” in a multi-faith Britain? Could Prince William eventually weaken—or eliminate—the sovereign's traditional connection with the Church of England?Plus, Ricky Gervais reveals what might persuade him to accept a knighthood; King Charles's former gardener recalls accidentally swearing after addressing the new monarch incorrectly; and royal biographer Andrew Lownie urges Harry, Meghan, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson to surrender their titles.Is Prince William preparing a smaller, more European-style monarchy—and has the Royal Family reached its “last chance saloon” for reform?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/palace-intrigue-harry-meghan-the-crown-royal-family-news-and-gossip--4522904/support.Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor.

In today's special edition of The Royal T, as both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are awaiting a review into their individual security status to determine whether they are entitled to receive taxpayer-funded security, Camilla Tominey and Victoria Ward speak to Paul Lewis -- a close protection expert who has run security operations for royal and high net-worth individuals for more than 20 years.He explains the logistics and eye-watering cost of the security Prince Harry and Meghan would need as both private citizens and high-profile members of the Royal family.Paul reveals why the Sussexes' full security detail could cost up to £12m in the UK, why social media has exacerbated modern security risks and why private teams without armed authority struggle to counter these threats, compared to state-level intelligence resources.You can get tickets to The Daily T On The Road Sunday Showdown at Labour conference with Bridget Phillipson at telegraph.co.uk/partyconferences► Subscribe to our new Daily T YouTube channel: youtube.com/@dailytpodcast► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

John Claisse explores the evolution of alternative investing, from private markets and hedge funds to AI, digital assets, due diligence and opportunities across Asia.Albourne has expanded from its genesis in Sussex in 1994, to one of the most recognized global investment advisors in the world of alternatives. It is unusual both as an employee-owned organisation, and because it has adhered to its original vision of advising only and never to manage capital. John Claisse frames the alternative industry today. He discusses institutional priorities, the change in allocating behaviour, the secular shift of retail flows into private assets, and what clients want across the alternative assets spectrum. He discusses private equity and private credit trends in light of the current malaise, and why he expects further growth in these asset flows in the years ahead. He weighs some of the investment dilemmas facing allocators, why Hedge Fund interest is strong, why digital assets are being increasingly scrutinised for their potential appeal, and where investment allocations might be headed. *Please note that at the 53:00 mark, Simon Sebag Monetfiore's upcoming book is mistakenly titled The Crucible.

How did Meghan Markle's phone number reportedly end up circulating online? Screenshots said to come from a school parents' WhatsApp group have raised fresh privacy concerns after Prince Harry and Meghan moved Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to another school.What went wrong on the Sussex school run? ITV's Chris Ship reports that heavy traffic separated the family's vehicle from its private security escort. Could a less conspicuous approach have worked—and why are former royal protection officers questioning the arrangements?Plus, four copies of Earl Spencer's forthcoming Princess Diana memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, have reportedly been stolen from a delivery truck. Was the tightly guarded book deliberately targeted?We also examine reports that King Charles, Prince William and Princess Catherine could seek a face-to-face meeting with Harry to discuss his future in Britain. What assurances would William want? Meanwhile, William and Kate visit the Isle of Bute as Harry prepares for an Invictus appearance, and the Prince of Wales calls for “urgent optimism” ahead of the Earthshot Prize in Mumbai.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/palace-intrigue-harry-meghan-the-crown-royal-family-news-and-gossip--4522904/support.Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor.

Many conversations about development for focus on aid: how much, from whom, and for how long. But aid has never been more than a small part of what pays for a country's development, and in 2025 it fell by 23.1%. The need to rethink our attitude to development has inspired the Future of Development Cooperation Coalition (FDCC). In this week's episode, Alexia Latortue and Radha Rajkotia of FDCC talk to Tim Phillips about its first report,. The report assesses the development challenges of LMICs using a balance sheet approach, with assets on one side and liabilities on the other. Tax revenue, remittances, pension and sovereign wealth funds, trade, natural resources and the skills of the population sit on the asset side. Unsustainable debt, illicit financial flows, poor credit ratings, weak institutions, climate exposure and conflict sit on the other.The idea? Each country focuses on the policies to develop their most important assets, and minimise their most problematic liabilities. They argue that governments and donors alike should stop thinking of developing countries as recipients of aid, and start thinking of them as partners in economic development.The research behind this episode:Future of Development Cooperation Coalition. 2026. "The Development Balance Sheet: Rethinking Development Cooperation from the Ground Up." Published 20 May 2026. Research team: Radha Rajkotia, John Norris and Mma Amara Ekeruche.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, Alexia Latortue, and Radha Rajkotia. 2026. "Rethinking development cooperation: The case for a 'balance sheet' approach." VoxDev Talks (podcast). About the guestsAlexia Latortue is Head of Secretariat of the Future of Development Cooperation Coalition and a Distinguished Non-Resident Fellow at the Center for Global Development. She served as Assistant Secretary for International Trade and Development at the US Treasury, where she led work on reforming the multilateral development banks and on using public finance to pull private capital into emerging markets. She was previously Deputy CEO and Managing Director for Corporate Strategy at the Millennium Challenge Corporation, sat on the Executive Committee of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and spent ten years at the World Bank working on financial inclusion, ending as Deputy CEO of CGAP.Radha Rajkotia is Director of Research at the Future of Development Cooperation Coalition and lead researcher on this report. She was Chief Executive Officer of Building Markets and, before that, Chief Research and Policy Officer at Innovations for Poverty Action, running its strategy across 22 countries. She spent eleven years leading the economic recovery and development unit at the International Rescue Committee, on work spanning cash-based relief and job creation in conflict settings. She holds a PhD in Refugee Studies from the University of Sussex, is a Senior Policy Fellow at the Henry Leir Institute at Tufts University, and teaches at Georgetown.Research cited in this episodeThe balance sheet approach. The report sets out assets and liabilities but argues that neither is a checklist. Some entries are country-specific, such as natural resource endowments or exposure to climate risk. Others are structural, such as a sovereign credit rating, which constrains or enables progress regardless of what a government does at home. The point of the exercise is situational awareness before prioritisation, not a universal to-do list.The 30 national development strategies. The research team reviewed the current development strategies of 30 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America. All 30 prioritise economic transformation and human capital. Governance appears as a stand-alone pillar in two-thirds of them. Inequality is a defining element in almost every Latin American strategy and largely absent as an explicit constraint in Africa and Asia. Most countries frame technology as digital economy rather than as AI governance or chip access, which the report reads as a widening sophistication gap.Nigeria and Ethiopia. The report's worked comparison. Ethiopia attracts more than three times Nigeria's foreign direct investment despite being roughly 100 million people smaller. Nigeria has strong tax revenues, considerable pension fund assets, a heavy debt servicing burden and large losses to illicit financial flows. Ethiopia has a narrow tax base and weak compliance, suffers far less from illicit flows, carries a lighter debt service burden and is nonetheless in debt distress.Debt as both asset and liability. Low-income countries spend 18% of government revenue on average servicing foreign debt. Angola, Laos, Bhutan, Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan, the Bahamas, Tunisia, Zambia, Benin and Senegal each spent more than 30% of tax revenues on debt servicing in 2024. As of 2026, 27 countries face a high risk of debt distress and nine are already in it, the majority of them in Africa. Latortue argues that the problem is the price, tenor and currency of debt rather than debt itself, and that restructuring machinery built around the Paris Club has not kept up with a creditor base that now includes China, Gulf states and a large body of commercial lenders.Credit ratings. Only eight countries across Latin America and Africa hold an investment-grade rating from Moody's, Fitch or S&P. They are Chile, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Botswana and Mauritius. A UNDP analysis cited in the report estimates that flawed ratings have cost African countries as much as $74.5 billion in excess interest and foregone investment, more than the continent's entire net receipt of official development assistance. The African Union is launching its own credit rating agency in 2026.South-South trade. UNCTAD figures in the report put South-South merchandise exports at about $0.5 trillion in 1995 and $6.8 trillion in 2025. Some 57% of developing-country exports now go to other developing markets. Rajkotia points to the Africa Continental Free Trade Area and to Mercosur as existing infrastructure that could support production integration rather than trade agreements alone.Demographics. Africa's working-age population is expected to double by 2050, which the report treats as an asset conditional on policy. By 2050 only 26% of the world's population is projected to live in Europe, North America and China, falling to 18% by 2100.Domestic capital in Africa. Latortue cites more than $4 trillion of assets held across the African continent, a figure that combines central bank reserves, commercial bank assets, institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, pensions and insurance. Her argument is that moving even a small share of it into productive investment would outweigh anything aid can now do. The report notes that Ghana mandated 5% of its pension fund for venture capital in 2025 and that Mexico legislated for an allowance of up to 30%.Conflict. The one item Latortue places firmly on one side of the ledger. She counts at least 60 live conflicts worldwide. The Peace Research Institute Oslo recorded more conflicts in 2024 than at any point since the Second World War, and more than half of all conflict-affected states now face at least two separate internal conflicts. Development work has a role in keeping the real economy going, she says, but the solutions are political.More VoxDev Talks episodesThe end of aid dependency. W.

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have been dealing with a lot of changes lately, and now, just two days after starting a new school, in a new country, they’ve had to make another major change: another new school. According to the Sussex’s spokesperson, the distance and traffic between home and school have proven to be too difficult and caused enough security concerns that they have switched the children’s school. This comes as the UK announced both the Duke and Dutchess will “imminently receive” an official risk re-assessment to determine whether tax funded security will be extended to them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's already time for us to visit the second of the Thirteen Colonies - Massachusetts!We start by discussing the lives of the Wampanoag peoples who inhabited the North Eastern Woodlands prior to the arrival of European settlers, before returning to the small group of religious dissenters who arrived on the Mayflower to make a home in New England.Of course, the Salem Witch Trials cast a long shadow, but so too does the bloody legacy of warfare between the colonists and the Native people, including the fascinating, awful history of King Philip's War, leading up to increased dissatisfaction with British rule and the forging of a distinct American identity with acts of protest like the Boston Tea Party.We include extracts from Saturday's Local Legends interview with the excellent Jeff Belanger, presenter of the Emmy-nominated New England Legends series, and talk through hauntings, happenings and a whole lot of folklore.From the gruesome history of Lizzie Borden to the peculiar Dover Demon and the cursed Hockamock Swamp, there's loads to get our teeth stuck into, not least some delicious Atlantic lobsters...We really hope you enjoy it - Massachusetts is a state with amazing history, and we'll put our John Hancock on that!About Three Ravens

We begin Season 10 of The Old Front Line with a journey into The Great War Around Us: the First World War history that can still be found in the places where we live.In this episode, we visit the East Sussex village of Wadhurst and explore how the impact of the Great War can still be discovered more than a century later. Starting at the village war memorial in the church, we uncover the stories behind the names carved in stone and examine what they reveal about the devastating losses suffered by this small community, particularly during the fighting of 9 May 1915 at the Battle of Aubers Ridge.We then step into the parish churchyard to search for traces of the war, from Commonwealth war graves to moving family epitaphs that preserve personal memories of sacrifice and loss. Along the way, we discover how local history can open a window onto the wider story of the First World War.This episode is also a call to action. Wherever you live, the history of the Great War is often closer than you think. War memorials, churchyards, memorial plaques and family stories can all help us understand how the conflict touched communities across Britain and beyond.Join us as we explore the Great War around us and discover why local remembrance remains such a powerful way to connect with the history of that conflict more than a century ago.
