In this episode, Tony Brueski investigates the Paramount Theatre in Austin, TX, where ghost stories have become part of the venue's lore. Visitors and staff share tales of cold spots, shifting objects, and a shadowy figure known to appear in the balcony. Some say these occurrences are the result of residual hauntings—fragments of the past replaying endlessly within the theater's walls. But could there be more to these experiences? Tony explores both paranormal and psychological theories, questioning whether the theater's storied history has created the perfect setting for ghostly encounters—or if the mysteries of the Paramount are simply part of the show.

Tony Brueski delves into the haunting history of Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., where President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Visitors and staff claim that Lincoln's presence still lingers, with many reporting sightings of his ghost in the box where he was shot, as well as unexplained footsteps echoing through the halls. The emotional weight of the tragedy seems to have left a lasting impression, making Ford's Theatre one of the most historically significant—and haunted—locations in the U.S. Are these experiences the result of residual energy from that fateful night, or are they products of emotional projection? Tony explores how trauma, history, and belief intersect at Ford's Theatre, inviting listeners to consider whether Lincoln's final moments continue to replay not just in history books—but in the very walls of the theater itself.

Queen of the stage, Alison Quigan is a mainstay in New Zealand's performing arts scene. You may know her best as Yvonne Jeffries, Shortland Street's maternally-minded receptionist, or from one of her many theatre productions, as Quigan has spent her career creating stories that portray the real lives of Kiwis on stage. She's back to her theatrical ways, directing a brand-new production by Sir Roger Hall, ‘End of Summer Time'. It's the story of retired cow cocky Dickie Hart and his wife Glenda's move to Auckland, a decision Dickie thinks is the beginning of the end. Quigan told Jack Tame that Hall's a great observationist, and it's his understanding of his audience that allows them to connect with his works. “He's been telling the story of this particular generation for 50 years, and he is very loyal to them and they are very loyal to him.” She started directing his plays in the late 80's when she took over Centre Point Theatre in Palmerston North, but as a solo show, this one is a little bit more complex than normal. “You're actually trying to create all the other characters with the actor, and obviously with the writer, and so it's a case of making sure that he's, he can get from A to B to C to D, to all of that, so he can get through to the end of the play,” Quigan explained. “So there's the practical part of understanding how a solo show works, but also reassuring and just loving what this other person can bring to the play.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1710, the British Parliament passed a piece of legislation entitled An Act for the Encouragement of Learning. It became known as the Statute of Anne, and it was the world's first copyright law. Copyright protects and regulates a piece of work - whether that's a book, a painting, a piece of music or a software programme. It emerged as a way of balancing the interests of authors, artists, publishers, and the public in the context of evolving technologies and the rise of mechanical reproduction. Writers and artists such as Alexander Pope, William Hogarth and Charles Dickens became involved in heated debates about ownership and originality that continue to this day - especially with the emergence of artificial intelligence.

This is a family saga that captures the essence of rural America, Helen Sheehy's Just Willa spans seven decades of one woman's life, taking us from the Dust Bowl to the Depression, from Roosevelt to Reagan. It gives us a character of indomitable spirit—the daughter of a homesteader who survives the trials of single motherhood and goes on to marry a bootlegging cowboy—who fuels and anchors her family with love and bravery. And it shows us a world filled with people and struggles both realistic and relatable—a world that is beautiful, despite its hardships.HELEN SHEEHY grew up on tenant farms in Oklahoma and Kansas. She has worked as a dramaturg, written a theatre textbook, and authored biographies of three theatre pioneers: Margo: The Life and Theatre of Margo Jones (Southern Methodist University Press, 1989), Eva Le Gallienne: A Biography (Knopf, 1996), and Eleonora Duse: A Biography (Knopf, 2003). The latter two books were named New York Times notable books of the year. Sheehy taught theatre and acting at Southern Connecticut State University for more than two decades. After spending years writing non-fiction, she has turned to her earliest love, telling stories. She lives in Hamden, Connecticut. "Just Willa" is her first novel. https://www.amazon.com/Just-Willa-Helen-Sheehy/dp/1734267836http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

On this episode, Tony Brueski investigates the Orpheum Theatre, a Memphis landmark celebrated for its live performances and long-standing ghost stories. The theater's most famous spirit, Mary, is said to be a young girl who lingers in the mezzanine, playing tricks by flickering lights, slamming doors, and creating unexplained cold spots. Visitors and staff alike have shared strange experiences, making the Orpheum a popular destination for paranormal enthusiasts. But what draws these mysterious events to the theater? Is it residual energy from its storied past, or could psychological factors be at play, creating ghostly illusions for those expecting them? Tony Brueski explores both sides of the story, dissecting the evidence and questioning whether the Orpheum's paranormal reputation is deserved—or just part of the magic that has captivated audiences for over a century.

Dean advices a caller who is asking about putting an offer on a house that he has been renting for 10 years, but needs a lot of work. Is it worth it? Dean also discusses ways to save money from capital gains taxes on a townhouse. And Dean advises another caller on making a house fireproof friendly. 

Dean dives into how your home can tell a story—starting with the entryway. Learn why floor lines matter, what the Lincoln Memorial teaches us about design, and why the family room should steal the show. A must-listen for anyone planning a renovation or dreaming big.

Today, Dean talks about how design matters most when it comes to your home, and that great architecture should feel theatrical. Your home is like a stage -- it can be designed to fit the tastes of everyone who lives under the roof. Placing a spotlight on the stage darkens things up, and Dean explains how it has the opposite effect of what most people think it does. Dean also talks about cemeterial images and the fine arts, like the Mona Lisa.

One County Has Transformed Its Approach.” The piece, written by Paige Pfleger for WPLN and ProPublica, is read in its entirety.

On this episode, Tony Brueski investigates the Orpheum Theatre, a Memphis landmark celebrated for its live performances and long-standing ghost stories. The theater's most famous spirit, Mary, is said to be a young girl who lingers in the mezzanine, playing tricks by flickering lights, slamming doors, and creating unexplained cold spots. Visitors and staff alike have shared strange experiences, making the Orpheum a popular destination for paranormal enthusiasts. But what draws these mysterious events to the theater? Is it residual energy from its storied past, or could psychological factors be at play, creating ghostly illusions for those expecting them? Tony Brueski explores both sides of the story, dissecting the evidence and questioning whether the Orpheum's paranormal reputation is deserved—or just part of the magic that has captivated audiences for over a century.

It was a couple walking their dog who found the human remains in a beautiful part of Dartmoor. This grisly find led to a tricky investigation for police to find out who the person was and just what had happened to them. The answer to this investigation lay not in forensics or other technology, but good old-fashioned police work.Writing Credit: Chris WoodYou can buy Chris's second book, 'Death in the Theatre' here: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Theatre-Chris-Wood/dp/1399009117Support me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeWatch my YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime Hosted on Acast.

The entire facade crumbles when we learn to ask the right questions. Peace is not currently on the menu. The influencer flotilla is psyop operation. And, that's not Greta. Greece is helping the second flotilla. There will be diplomatic repercussions. Testing the waters in Gaza. The Israeli civilian victims. The UN says they committed crimes. Ukraine is on fire too. Programs cannot replicate programs. Evil counterfeits are not inventions. You are dangerous because you are uncontrolled. Elon is the lightning rod. Trump has done so much at great cost. Now that they're adrift, let's cut them loose. Remember to say what hasn't been said. What if Isreal was the most evil? The CCP runs the UN now. Turkey will be coming in hard. Counter-intel Islamafobia. Red string connections show unconscious links. They are pushing the collective to the breaking point. Stress pressure is a very cruel teacher. Evil is our creation, and we must judge it's fruits. It teaches us to see in the dark, and builds scaffolding for the truth. Did she say reherseauthority? Moving with the crowd does not mean safety. Beneath the showy performance is the truth. Those who do not choose must only adapt. Remember, when the programming wears off, love is the best operating code.
