Podcasts about Titanic

This week's show follows a journey that stretches from the Pacific to the Atlantic, five days, 2,845 miles by road, from LA, through Vegas, Denver, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, finally reaching New York City, and then a week at sea aboard the Queen Mary 2. I travelled with the photojournalist Marissa Roth, helping her bring home six precious heavy cases packed with nearly half a century of negatives; work that spans everything from Women and War, her lifetime project on the human cost of conflict, to assignments that shaped her long career behind the camera. Together we crossed America before sailing for Southampton with that extraordinary cargo. There were wrong turns, long drives and high North Atlantic waves, but more than anything, a reminder that photographs hold stories worth carrying safely home. Also on the show, special guest John Plews, a Titanic expert and fellow passenger shares facts about a ship made famous by tragedy. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai, giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily.

In a city where violence has become so commonplace that we've grown numb to daily death tolls, a powerful movement is taking shape. On November 1st, Athlone Stadium will host 60,000 men coming together to say "enough" to the senseless violence plaguing Cape Town communities. This isn't just another prayer meeting—it's a declaration that the normalization of violence, especially against children and women, must end. As beloved gospel singer Neville D passionately explains, this free event represents more than unity; it represents Cape Town's desperate need for divine intervention across all cultural and religious boundaries. The call is specifically directed at men to step up and take leadership in their communities. Like a sinking Titanic that threatens everyone aboard regardless of background, Cape Town's violence epidemic requires collective action before more innocent lives are lost to stray bullets and senseless crime.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Phil Salvador introduces the new Andrew Nelson papers collection with guest, you guessed it, Andrew Nelson, himself. Guest-host Alex Greenberg joins to chat with Nelson, co-founder and creative director of CyberFlix, known for its 1996 title Titanic: Adventure Out of Time. Andrew discusses his transition from magazine journalism to game development, the creation of CyberFlix, and the development of Titanic, which included extensive research and character development. Nelson also reflects on the impact of the game and his subsequent career, including work at Britannica and National Geographic.You can listen to the Video Game History Hour every other Wednesday on Patreon (one day early at the $5 tier and above), on Spotify, or on our website.Mentioned in the show:Andrew Nelson Collection: https://archive.gamehistory.org/folder/5dcf7309-5e3f-4609-b264-62f44da8e79fVGHF Blog post: https://gamehistory.org/andrew-nelson-papers/See more from Andrew Nelson:Book: Here Not There: 100 Unexpected Travel DestinationsInstagram: @andrewtyrrellnelsonSee more from Alex Greenburg:Website: alexgreenberg.netVideo Game History Foundation:Email: podcast@gamehistory.orgWebsite: gamehistory.orgSupport us on Patreon: /gamehistoryorg

El Titán del mar, el gran barco que no podía hundirse y que finalmente se hundió; más de un siglo después, el Titanic sigue siendo estudiado. Solo un tercio de los pasajeros sobrevivieron, mientras que más de 1500 perdieron la vida. Pero, de ese total, solo se recuperaron 340 cuerpos. Entonces, la duda permanece: ¿qué ocurrió con los 1160 restantes? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on the KOKO show we bring it back to our roots, delivering to you a no guest nonsense pod that is packed full of smack talk, poking fun at each other's insecurities and butt load of code. To start off the lads unpack the Wallabies' close call in Tokyo, as Eddie's Brave Blossoms put up one hell of a fight to try and claim their first ever ‘dub' against the might of the green and gold. However, our golden gladiators battled the elements and some sloppy execution to claim the win and our panel of pricks picked it apart to identify some work-ons before we take on the might of England. Ladies and gentlemen spring has sprung and autumn has autumned, depending on where you live, but one thing is for certain the world over its time for some tangy touring. With the Wallabies touching down in the Motherland ready to make jellied eels out of these pommy princes, the KOKO lads have put together a full ‘Spring Tour Set Up', previewing this week's tussle at Twickenham, as well as all the other international clashes this weekend. With hemispheric denomination at stake, emotions will run high as KOKO gets well and truly behind the South to ride these suckers home and prove which semi-circle is the best at playing footy. So get jacked, don your nation's garb and ready your noble steed, because this shit is about to get real up in here and The KOKO Show is a one stop shop for all your Spring Tour silliness.

Brad Zerbo and Josh Reid connect the dots between global resource control, AI development, and Trump's geopolitical maneuvers in this high-energy third episode of Q After Hours. From China's internal power struggles and deep state sabotage to Alaska's newly reopened mining projects, they explore how Trump's second term is redefining world trade, national sovereignty, and the future of American energy independence. The hosts dive into historical patterns, from the Titanic and the Federal Reserve's origins to modern-day AI and blockchain integration, revealing how the United States may be positioning itself to dominate the next technological revolution. With speculation on John Brennan's looming indictment, shifts in global alliances, and the coming birth of a “new world,” this episode blends history, politics, and prophecy into one explosive late-night conversation.

From Netflix's birth to Titanic mania, its safe to say that 1997 was a stacked year, but not before a 26-year-old Paul Thomas Anderson dropped Boogie Nights, turning taboo into pure cinema. On this episode, we revisit the film's intoxicating rise-and-fall arc, the found-family heartbeat, and the moment VHS killed the golden age of adult films. We also dig into the real-world inspirations (Dirk Diggler ⇄ John Holmes; the Wonderland murders), the deliriously tense Alfred Molina “Jessie's Girl” sequence, some wild what-ifs—like Leo DiCaprio passing on the lead—and the legend behind Dirk's big reveal at the end of the film.Chapters:00:00 PTA Was HOW OLD?!00:24 What You'll Get (Adult Themes)01:23 First Impressions03:30 From Valley Kid to Visionary04:24 What Could've Been06:33 Why Wahlberg Works07:31 Burt Reynolds vs PTA (…and the Oscar)08:38 The REAL Dirk Diggler11:25 Was that Real or Fake?12:52 This Opening One-Take SLAPS15:28 More PTA Flexing21:34 Tone Flip on NYE25:54 VHS Killed The Film Star29:39 Jessie's Girl: The Most Tense 8 Minutes33:06 Found Family… and Fallout42:16 Wrap-UpContent note: Heavy adult themes on this episode, so viewer discretion is advised.

“How hard is it to just line up on sides?”That's the question that sets the tone for this fiery, funny, and brutally honest episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray go full throttle on the Cowboys' latest meltdown.Cowboys Carnage: The crew breaks down the 44–24 loss to Denver, highlighting how three pre-snap penalties in the first six minutes derailed the entire game. From offside disasters to missed red zone opportunities, the Cowboys' defense is described as “the Titanic… already at the bottom of the ocean decaying.”National Loose Ends Day: While the NFL celebrated National Tight Ends Day, the Cowboys apparently celebrated “National Loose Ends Day.” KT's joke lands hard and fast: “There were a lot of parts they could tighten up.”

Were the Vanderbilts visionary aristocrats building a lasting legacy, or history's most spectacular example of how to lose an unfathomable fortune in three generations? In this episode of History's Greatest Idiots, we explore the family that controlled 10% of all money in circulation in America and turned it into absolutely nothing through the revolutionary strategy of building 250-room houses nobody needed and throwing $8 million parties to impress people who already hated them.This is the story of the Vanderbilt dynasty: from ruthless railroad tycoon to 120 descendants without a single millionaire among them in less than a century. Featuring marble palaces, forced marriages to British dukes, and enough champagne-fuelled bad decisions to sink the Lusitania. Oh wait, that happened too.What You'll Discover:How Cornelius "The Commodore" Vanderbilt built a $200 billion fortune (in relative economic terms) by being brilliant, ruthless, and too cheap to buy a new coatWhy his son William Henry was the last competent Vanderbilt, doubling the fortune before his descendants set it on fireThe $265 million "summer cottage" with 70 rooms that required 40 full-time servants (The Breakers in Newport)Alva Vanderbilt's $8 million costume ball that forced New York society to accept them (one guest came dressed as a working lightbulb)George Vanderbilt's 250-room Biltmore Estate that accidentally became a successful tourist attraction by losing so much moneyHow Consuelo Vanderbilt was literally sold to the Duke of Marlborough for $95 million and a fancy titleReginald Vanderbilt's masterclass in drinking and gambling away $400 million in just 23 yearsWhy Alfred Vanderbilt survived cancelling his Titanic ticket only to die on the Lusitania three years laterThe 1973 family reunion where 120 Vanderbilt descendants gathered and not one was a millionaireHow Anderson Cooper became the last wealthy Vanderbilt by doing something radical: getting a jobThe Mathematics of Disaster: The Commodore leaves $95 million to one son. That son splits it among eight children. Those eight split it among dozens of grandchildren. Each generation builds million-dollar mansions requiring hundreds of thousands in annual maintenance. None of them work. All of them spend like the money is infinite. Spoiler: it wasn't.The Gilded Age Arms Race: We explore how the Vanderbilts competed with the Astor's and other old money families by building increasingly absurd monuments to their wealth: Fifth Avenue châteaux that were demolished 40 years later because nobody could afford the property taxes, Newport "cottages" with indoor swimming pools and two-story libraries, and enough marble to build a small Italian village.Three Generations of Wealth Destruction:First Generation (The Commodore): Builds empire through ruthless business practices and penny-pinchingSecond Generation (William Henry's children): Maintains wealth while building increasingly expensive houses and establishing lavish lifestylesThird Generation: Drinks it, gambles it, and watches their houses get torn down because they can't afford the heating bills.⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Animation: Daniel Wilson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/wilson_the_wilson/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music: Andrew Wilson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/andrews_electric_sheep⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian explore the demonic powers revealed in Exodus as the plagues close in on Pharaoh's Egypt. Al and Zach recall their visit to Auschwitz, where they both felt a chilling, decades-old evil that seemed to confirm the spiritual realities Scripture describes. Back home, John Luke faces his own “plague of biblical proportions,” though his version is admittedly more mundane than the ones that befell Egypt. The guys reflect on why God revealed His name as Yahweh, what that name means for believers today, and how our hearts must be positioned before we can truly enter His presence.

In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, Lyle and Meghan sit down with bestselling author Alyson Richman to talk about her haunting new novel, The Missing Pages. Set inside Harvard's Widener Library, the book reimagines the story of Harry Elkins Widener—a real-life Titanic passenger and rare book collector—who lingers as a ghost among his treasured collection. We explore the real history behind Harry's tragic death, the campus lore surrounding Widener Library, and how Alyson blended love, grief, and the supernatural into a powerful ghost story. Plus, we dig into Titanic legends, the quiet eeriness of libraries at night, and what Harry himself might say if he could read the book written about him.

Ron compares things to being on the Titanic or needing a bigger boat in "Jaws" or being stuck on a really bad Disney ride..... Guest: Chef Josh Archibald about grilled cheese

1912: Harry Widener, a promising and passionate book collector, boards the Titanic holding tight to a priceless volume he's just purchased in London. After catastrophe strikes the ship, Harry's last known words are that he must return to his cabin to retrieve his latest treasure. Neither the young man nor the book are ever seen again. Honoring her son's memory, Harry's mother builds the Harry Widener Memorial Library at Harvard to house his extensive book collection and ensure his legacy. Decades later, Violet Hutchins, a Harvard sophomore recovering from her own great loss, is working as a page at the Widener Library. When mysterious things begin happening at the library, Violet wonders if Harry Widener's ghost is trying to communicate with her, seeking Violet to uncover a long-buried secret that the ardent young Harry took with him to the grave.“The Missing Pages” reminds us that books are as eternal as the soul – and a book has the power to connect us to our loved ones, transcend time and distance and forge lasting bonds that defy even death.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Mia Goth is the latest actor shedding a bit of light on the long-shelved Blade movie from Marvel Studios. In an interview with Elle, promoting her upcoming appearance in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Goth shared only that she is still attached to the film and commented that “It's for the best that it's taken the time it has.

Driver explained that Lucasfilm was interested in continuing his character's story in a film that had a script written by Steven Soderbergh.

Early AM submarine breakfast prep ambience.I am obsessed with the minutia of submarine voyages and there's no books out there that can slake my middle-aged hunger for non-Clancy submarine stories. I'm more interested in the banal, what is work like when you're job puts you far underwater and beyond rescue.I'm positive I would feel the need to constantly ask shipmates how "we're doing." I'm not even talking mission — “how are we doing on food?” “Are we sure we've charted all the underwater mountains?” Not even amusing questions to read in a podcast description let alone under staggering amounts of water pressure.I feel like hypochondria would be a terrible attribute in a submariner. Like the type of hypochondria exacerbated by weekend afternoons watching mild freak show cable telivision about bizarre medical diagnosis. Silent heart attacks, fugues that strike while you bathe. People that probably believe actual murders are hosted by Keith Morrison. And John Quiñones might jump out from behind any counter when a suburban mom loses her **** on a barista.I would be a worse candidate for a submarine than the guy tapping "I am U-571 destroy me" morse code in that Matthew McConaughey sub movie. But, administer that submarine **** directly into my veins. I love it (If you have any books recommendations along the lines of Blind Man's Bluff, torpedo them over... via comment or email — Look, I doubt the Navy lets folks set up microphones on modern vessels. Maybe if the Titanic guy promised to make Red October 2 or Das Boot 2 they would let him drop a zoom mic in a ship's galley. But for now we will be riding in a fictionalized submarine. During breakfast prep.

If nuclear submarines can generate their own water and oxygen underwater, why do they need to surface at all? Why are submarine propellers always at the back, while airplane propellers are usually at the front? How did submarines and the US Navy play a part in the discovery of the Titanic? ... we explain like I'm five Thank you to the r/explainlikeimfive community and in particular the following users whose questions and comments formed the basis of this discussion: ilearnrussian, lokiorin, slobbie, hemingwavy, yancy_farnesworth, luckbot, omnipotentsandwich, r3dm0nk.

Today on The Travel Diaries we're revisiting a very special conversation from the archives with national treasures Si King and the late, much-loved Dave Myers, better known to millions as The Hairy Bikers.Si and Dave were my very first duo on the podcast, and what a joy they were. For more than two decades, they entertained Britain with their infectious humour, foodie expertise and shared love of motorbikes. Their travel and food shows from Asian Adventure to Mediterranean Adventure and Route 66 inspired countless viewers to see the world through flavour and friendship.When I spoke to them, Dave was in the middle of undergoing cancer treatment. He joined me the night before a round of chemo, having travelled down to London especially, which made their generosity of time and spirit all the more moving. Listening back now, after Dave's passing earlier this year, it feels particularly poignant to hear his warmth, wit and passion for life come through so vividly.

“He weakened my strength in the way.” – Psalm   Life's Waves and God's Sovereignty Referencing Psalm 42:7, “Deep calls unto deep,” he explains that it portrays wave after wave of life's challenges, not mystical depths. Sometimes, trouble comes in relentless succession — one wave after another — yet God uses even pain, sickness, and discomfort to shape us. We often blame the devil, but sometimes it's the Lord doing deep work in us. He reminds the congregation that when we gave our lives to Christ, we surrendered the right to run our own lives. “We said, ‘You get to call the shots.' ”   Psalm 84 – Dwelling in God's Presence The message centers on Psalm 84, portraying the believer's longing for God's house and presence amid a fallen world. “How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts.” Believers must live in the world but not of it, finding their refuge not in wealth, approval, or comfort — but in God's presence. Even the sparrow finds a home near His altar — showing that everyone, humble or lowly, is welcome in His presence. The pastor urges believers to maintain a “secret place” — a daily sanctuary of prayer and fellowship with God. We need His manifest presence, not just His omnipresence.   Strength in the Pilgrimage Psalm 84:5 – “Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.” True strength comes from the Lord, not self. The Christian life is a pilgrimage, requiring perseverance and endurance — “a journey, not a sprint.” Like Noah, Abraham, and Jesus, we must walk faithfully even when the outcome seems far away. “Decide yesterday that you're not going to quit today.”   The Valley of Baka – Digging Wells Psalm 84:6 describes the Valley of Baka, a place of weeping, decay, and death. Spiritually, it represents the world's brokenness. Believers are called to dig wells — to bring life, truth, and hope where there is despair. Each Christian has a circle of influence (family, workplace, community) where God expects them to “dig wells” for others. He contrasts Absalom, who built a monument to himself, with Jacob, who dug a well. “The statue is gone; the well still flows.” The challenge: be an effective well-digger whose influence blesses others long after you're gone.   From Strength to Strength Psalm 84:7 – “They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.” This phrase means believers become an army within themselves because God dwells in them. Strength increases through intimacy with God, not worldly alliance. Avoid letting worldly media and negativity shape your mind — renew your thoughts in God's Word. Illustrations include: A soldier in WWII saved by a spider's web God used for protection. A survivor of the Titanic quoting Psalm 91 as God delivered him. These show that God's care extends to the smallest details for those who trust Him.   Staying Coupled with the Lord Psalm 84:11 – “No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” The pastor explains that “uprightly” in Hebrew (tāmîm) means “to stay coupled” — like train cars joined together. We don't have to be perfect; we just have to stay connected to God. Whether rusty or shiny, the only train cars that move are the ones still coupled. “If you'll stay coupled with Me, I won't withhold any good thing from you.”   The Final Call – Dig Wells, Stay Coupled, Trust God Believers are called to: Remain coupled to God through every trial. Commit to the pilgrimage — no turning back. Dig wells in dry, dying places. Trust God through both good and hard seasons. “Once you dig a well in Christ, it will always have water in it.” The sermon closes with an altar call to: Renew one's commitment to Christ's work, Receive strength to influence others, and Begin or restore a relationship with Jesus. Key Theme: God is calling His people to intimacy, endurance, and influence — to stay coupled, keep digging wells, and bring living water into a dying world.  

Canadian cities are now declaring "housing emergencies" to fast-track homeless encampment sweeps – and surprise, surprise, it's just expensive whack-a-mole with taxpayer dollars! Toronto's homeless population doubled in under four years, while cities spend tens of billions on "affordable housing" that somehow creates more homelessness, not less. We dive into the uncomfortable truth about the homeless industrial complex: build it and they will come, complete with wraparound services costing $50K per person annually.From Toronto's hostile architecture (concrete blocks to prevent tent setup) to Barry's mayor declaring "day one, no encampments allowed," we see two approaches to the same crisis. Meanwhile, advocates ignore the crime spikes, the screaming at night, and the fact that 70% of Seattle's homeless come from outside the city for the resources. The real kicker? New York's shelter system houses 95% of their homeless economically, while cities obsessed with individual housing units can't keep up with demand.Is this really about compassion, or is it a multi-billion dollar industry that depends on perpetuating the problem? What happens when "misguided compassion" meets fiscal reality? Drop your thoughts below – are encampment sweeps the answer, or just shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic? Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share if this opened your eyes to the homeless industrial complex!

Tusentals människor vilar på havets botten, offer för historiens många fartygsförlisningar. Andra har hamnat där frivilligt och valt havet som grav. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Titanic, Estonia och ubåten Ulven. Vad är det som lockar och skrämmer oss med historierna om fartygskatastrofer och varför vill vi se resterna av fartygsvrak på museum? Tobias Svanelid träffar etnologerna Simon Ekström, Hanna Jansson och Claes-Göran Wetterholm på Sjöhistoriska museets scen för att samtala om vårt förhållande till havet som grav, om utställningarna om Hansakatastrofen och Ghost Ships och om det faktum att allt fler människor väljer att frivilligt låta begrava sig i havet.

Send us a textConnect with Michele at https://www.bookclues.comWhat if the most important maps we'll ever draw are hidden under miles of water and thousands of PSI? We sit down with physicist and exploration roboticist James Bellingham to trace a life spent pushing past pressure, busting tethers, and building the autonomous systems that make the deep sea knowable.We start with the physics that rule the depths: hydrostatic pressure that crushes air spaces, why small pressure vessels survive better than big ones, and how neutral buoyancy and material science set the limits of human and machine. That frame sets up the cautionary tale of the Titan submersible—why carbon fiber shines in tension but falters in compression, how storage and certification matter, and what fast‑moving tech cultures miss when the ocean sets the terms. From there, we cut the cable. With radio waves blocked by conductive seawater, true autonomy became the only path. James explains how AUVs navigate without GPS, conserve energy, and work without ships, opening doors to safer, cheaper, and vastly wider exploration.The payoff is discovery. Only about 26 percent of the seafloor is mapped with modern bathymetry, so AUVs deliver first looks: mid‑ocean ridges where new crust is born, hydrothermal vents that power sunless ecosystems, and trench habitats that most of us will never see yet shape global cycles. We revisit shipwrecks as time capsules—Endurance and Titanic rendered in crisp 3D—and walk through crisis missions that advanced science: Deepwater Horizon's deep oil plumes metabolized by microbes, and the MH370 search that produced exquisite seafloor maps even without the plane. Each story underlines a simple truth: every dive, even the “unsuccessful” ones, expands the ocean's blueprint.Looking ahead, James sketches an ocean filled with quiet robot fleets running experiments, mapping chemistry and biology at scale, and building predictive skill for climate, fisheries, and coastal safety. The same playbook reaches outward to Europa and Enceladus, where subsurface oceans and likely hydrothermal vents could host life built on chemistry rather than sunlight. If the deep teaches anything, it's that curiosity thrives without Wi‑Fi—and that exploration gets smarter when we let machines take the pressure.If this journey into the hidden 70 percent sparked your curiosity, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves science, and leave a review with the deep‑sea question you want answered next.

Before the age of the internet, young people were not interested in Instagram stars but in actors and actresses that they saw in movies and TV series. We are always ready to watch some of the old movies again, like Leon, Home Alone, Titanic, Spy Kids and others. But how do the actors that played our favorite characters look like now?

Third-generation owner Travis Seeholzer came on the pod a few years back to trace the eight-decade arc from this dude flexing 10-foot-long kamikaze boards to the present:Just about every ski area in America was hacked out of the wilderness by Some Guy Who Looked Like That. Dave McCoy at Mammoth or Ernie Blake at Taos or Everett Kircher at Boyne Mountain, swarthy, willful fellows who flew airplanes and erected rudimentary chairlifts in impossible places and hammered together their own baselodges. Over decades they chiseled these mountains into their personal Rushmores, a life's work, a human soul knotted to nature in a built place that would endure for generations.It's possible that they all imagined their family name governing those generations. In the remarkable case of Boyne, they still do. But the Kirchers and the Seeholzers are ski-world exceptions. Successive generations are often uninterested in the chore of legacy building. Or they try and say wow this is expensive. Or bad weather leads to bad financial choices by our cigar-smoking, backhoe-driving, machete-wielding founder and his sons and daughters never get their chance. The ski area's deed shuffles into the portfolio of a Colorado Skico and McCoy fades a little each year and at some point Mammoth is just another ski area owned by Alterra Mountain Company.It's tempting to sentimentalize the past, to lament skiing's macro-transition from gritty network of founder-kingpin fifes to set of corporate brands, to conclude that “this generation” just doesn't have the tenacity of a Blake or a McCoy. But the America where a fellow could turn up with a dump truck and a chainsaw and flatten raw forest into a for-profit business with minimal protest is gone. Every part of the ski ecosystem is more regulated, complicated, and expensive than it's ever been. The appeal of running such a machine - and the skillset necessary to do so - is entirely different from that of sculpting your own personal snow Narnia from scratch. We will always have family-owned ski areas (we still have hundreds), and an occasional modern founder-disruptor like Mount Bohemia's Lonie Glieberman will materialize like a new X-man. But ski conglomerates have probably always been inevitable, and are probably largely the industry's future. They are best suited, in most cases, to manage, finance, and maintain the vast machinery of our largest ski centers (and also to create a ski landscape in which not all ski area operators are Some Guy Who Looked Like That).Killington demonstrates this arc from rambunctious founder to corporate vassal as well as any mountain in the country. Founded in 1958 by the wily and wild Pres Smith, the ski area's parent company, Sherburne Corp., bought Sunday River, Maine in 1973 and Mount Snow, Vermont in 1977. The two Vermont mountains became S-K-I in 1984, bought five more ski areas, and merged with four-resort LBO in 1996 to become the titanic American Skiing Company. Unfortunately ASC turned out to be skiing's Titanic, and one of the company's last acts before dissolution was to sell Killington and Pico to Utah-based Powdr in 2007.The Beast had been tamed, at least on paper. Corporate ownership of some sort felt as stapled to the mountain as Killington's 3,000 snowguns. And mostly, well, it didn't matter. Other than Powdr's disastrous attempts to shorten the resort's famously long seasons, Killington never lost its feisty edge. Over the decades the ski area modernized, masterplanned, and shed skier volume while increasing its viability as a business. Modern Killington wasn't the kingdom of a charismatic and ever-present founder, but it was a pretty good ski area.And then, suddenly, shockingly, Powdr sold both Killington and Pico last August. And they didn't sell the ski areas to Vail or Alterra or Boyne or to anyone who owned any ski areas at all. Instead, a group of local investors - led by Phill Gross and Michael Ferri, longtime Killington homeowners who ran a variety of non-ski-related businesses - bought the mountains. After 51 years as part of a multi-mountain ownership group, Killington (its relationship to neighboring Pico notwithstanding), was once again independent.It was all so improbable. Out-of-state operators had purchased five of Vermont's large ski areas in recent years: Colorado-based Vail Resorts bought Stowe in 2017, Okemo in 2018, and Mount Snow in 2019; Denver-based Alterra claimed Sugarbush in 2019; and Utah-based Pacific Group Resorts added Jay Peak to their small portfolio in 2022. Very few ski areas have ever entered the corporate matrix and re-emerged as independents. Grand Targhee, Wyoming; Waterville Valley, New Hampshire; and Mountain Creek, New Jersey (technically owned by multimountain operator Snow Partners) are exceptions spun off from larger companies. But mostly, once a larger entity absorbed a ski area, it stays locked in the multimountain universe forever.So what would this mean? For the largest and busiest mountain in the eastern United States to be independent? Did this, along with Powdr's intentions to sell Mount Bachelor (since rescinded), Eldora (sale in process), and Silver Star (no update), mark a reversal in the consolidation trend that had gathered 30 percent of America's ski areas under the umbrella of a multi-mountain operator? Did Killington's group of wealthy-but-not-Bezos-wealthy investors set an alternate blueprint for large-mountain ownership, especially when considered alongside the sale of Jackson Hole to a similar group the year before? Had the Ikon Pass – that harbinger of mass-market pass domination that had forced the we-better-join-them sales of Crystal Mountain, Washington and Sugarbush – inadvertently become a reliable revenue pipeline that made independence more viable? And would Killington, well-managed and constantly improving, backslide under cowboy owners who want to Q-Burke the place in their image?We're a year in now, and we have some clarity on these questions, along with two new chairlifts (Superstar this year, Snowdon next), 1,000 new snowguns, a revitalized Skyeship Gondola, and progressing plans on the East's first true ski village. Locals seem happy, management seems happy, the owners seem happy. Easy enough, Gross points out in our interview, when winter hits deep like the last one did. But can we keep the party going indefinitely? It was time for a check-in.What we talked aboutA strong first winter under independent ownership; what spring skiing off Canyon lift told us about the importance of Superstar; “it's an incredibly complex operation”; letting the smart people do their jobs; Killington's surprise spin-off from a multi-mountain operator; “our job is to keep the honeymoon going”; Superstar's six-pack upgrade; why six-packs are probably Killington's lift-upgrade future; why Pico is demolishing the Bonanza lift for a covered carpet; why Superstar won't have bubbles; where bubbles might make sense in a future lift; why ski areas can no longer run snowmaking under newly constructed chairlifts; why Superstar is a Doppelmayr machine after Killington installed a brand-new Leitner-Poma six at Snowdon in 2018; long- and short-term Superstar impacts to Killington's long season; long-term thoughts around early-season walkway access to North Ridge; Skyeship Gondola upgrades, including $5 million in new cabins; what 1,000 new snowguns means in practice; why Killington sold the Wobbly Barn; considering Killington as a business and investment; how Killington is a different financial beast from other Vermont ski areas; how close Killington was to going unlimited on Ikon Pass; Phill's journey to buying Killington; Devil's Fiddle and why sometimes things that don't make sense financially make sense anyway; “we want to own this for generations to come”; a village layout and timeline update – “we want to make sure that this is something that's additive to the ski experience” even if you don't own within it; “Great Gulf wants this [village] to be competitive for the western resorts”; “we don't want to change what Pico is”; how piping water over from Killington has reinvigorated and stabilized Pico; why Killington and Pico remained on Ikon Pass post-sale and probably will for the foreseeable future; is Ikon helping big ski areas stay independent?; Killington's steady rise in lift ticket prices; future lift upgrades and why the Snowdon Triple is next up for a replacement.What I got wrong* File “opinionation” under LOL I'm Dumb Talking Is Hard* I said that former Killington owner Powdr had “just sold” Eldora, but that's not accurate: in July, the town of Nederland, Colorado, announced their intent to purchase the ski area. The sales process is ongoing.Podcast NotesOn previous Killington podsOn Gross' purchase of Killington and PicoOn ANSI chairlift standardsWe get a bit in the weeds with a reference to “ANSI standards” for chairlifts. ANSI is the American National Standards Institute, a nonprofit organization that sets voluntary but widely adopted standards for everything from office furniture to electrical systems to safety signage in the United States. The ANSI standard for lifts, according to a blog post describing the code's 2022 update, is “developed by the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA), [and] establishes standard requirements for the design, manufacture, construction, operation, and maintenance of passenger ropeways.” On Killington's long seasonsKillington often opens in October (though it has not done so since 2018), and closes in June (three straight years before a deliberately truncated 2024-25 season to begin demolition of the Superstar chair).

After catastrophe strikes, Titanic passenger Harry Widener's last known words were that he must return to his cabin to retrieve his latest treasure. Neither the young man nor the book is ever seen again. Ghost, hauntings, Halloween, All Souls Day, Harry Widener Memorial Library at Harvard

This timeline . . . nothing can satisfy the Beast. He gets the Time cover he craves, then proceeds to whine about it. Oh, and that's kinda scary prophesy-wise. He's already recovered from the wound in his head.  Have we ever had an individual in the White House less suited to it? So much work to be done . . . 

Victor L. Vescovo is a private investor with over thirty years of experience in a variety of complex business situations. He co-founded private equity firm Insight Equity in 2002 with his business partner, Ted Beneski and raised over $1.5 billion in equity capital across four funds. In 2023, he departed Insight in order to focus on his own investments with new capabilities to support industrial startups, life sciences, and other areas of venture capital and special situations. Victor received his bachelor's degree from Stanford University, a Master's Degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and received an MBA from Harvard Business School where he graduated as a Baker Scholar. Additionally, Victor served 20 years in the U.S. Navy Reserve as an intelligence and targeting officer, retiring in 2013 as a Commander. In 2017, Victor completed the “Explorer's Grand Slam” which requires climbing the highest peak on all seven of the world's continents including Mt. Everest and skiing at least 100 kilometers to the North and South Poles. He piloted the first repeated dives to the ocean's deepest point, Challenger Deep, in the Pacific's Mariana Trench - now fifteen times, and in August 2019 became the first person to visit “The Five Deeps,” the deepest point in all five of the world's oceans. Victor has now personally explored the bottom of seventeen deep ocean trenches and has made three dives to the Titanic including the only solo dive ever made there. He and his team also discovered and surveyed the two deepest shipwrecks in the world: the USS Johnston in 2021 and the deepest, the USS Samuel B. Roberts at 22,600 feet, in 2022. In 2025, the US Navy announced that T-AGOS 26, a new ocean surveillance vessel of the Explorer class, would be named after him. He is also a commercially rated, multi-engine jet, glider, seaplane, and helicopter pilot, a certified submersible test pilot, and recently flew into space on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket, becoming the first person in history to climb Mount Everest, dive to the bottom of the ocean, and visit space.

Dive deep into the icy waters of the North Atlantic to discover the lost treasures of the Titanic. When the Titanic sank in 1912, it took with it a world of fascinating and valuable items. Some of these treasures include beautiful jewelry, fine china, and even love letters. Scientists and explorers have worked hard to find these hidden treasures on the ocean floor. Each item tells a story about the people who sailed on the Titanic. Join the adventure to learn about the amazing artifacts that help us remember this famous ship.

Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEThese fictional books predicted the Titanic, nuclear weapons, presidential names, and pandemic lockdowns before they happened, and with such terrifying accuracy that you'll question whether the authors were writing fiction — or prophecy.IN THIS EPISODE: The captain and crew of the ocean vessel St. Andrew not only saw what appeared to be a flying saucer – but narrowly avoided being destroyed by it when it dove into the sea, almost crashing into their ship. (The Falling Saucer) *** We hear of crashed UFOs, flying saucers, or extraterrestrial spacecraft – but… how reliable are the stories we've been told? We'll look at cases after the Roswell incident to see if they hold up. (Where Are The Crashed UFOs?) *** In the Mexican city of Durango there lived a witch who, while stunning beautiful, was grotesquely ugly when it came to her soul and personality – because people never seemed to believe her when she told them of the powers she possessed. And some regretted that. (The Witch of Durango) *** Imagine yourself in the Old West renting a carriage, forgetting to return it the next morning on time, and because of that, having the finger of murder being pointed at you. That's what happened to Hattie Woolsteen. (The Trial of Hattie Woolsteen) *** A cemetery off the western coast of Winnipeg has lost its gravestones, the house that used to be there is gone, but that doesn't mean that souls don't reside there. (The Legend of Nes Cemetery) *** But first – we'll look at nine books, works of fiction, but somehow they eerily predicted the future with stunning accuracy. We begin with that story.
