Podcasts about Transylvania

Everyone knows about America's 13 original colonies… but did you know there was almost a 14th? In 1775, a private land deal known as The Transylvania Purchase sought to create a brand-new colony in the rugged mountains where Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee meet. Frontiersman Daniel Boone carved the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap, opening America's first true gateway to the West. But the plan was tangled in conflict with Indigenous nations, colonial governments, and the Revolution itself. In this episode of Parkography, Jason explores the rise and fall of the Colony of Transylvania, the battles that defined it, and how the Cumberland Gap went from a dangerous frontier to a National Historical Park that tells the story of America's earliest westward expansion.

Episode 990- Jason Interviews Brian Gonsar DRACULA'S BRUNCH CLUBDracula's Brunch Club graphic novel: Have you ever wondered how vampires got their taste for blood? In Dracula's Brunch Club, it all started with a crimson-red donut, dripping and oozing with spooky secrets—I mean, jelly. Dripping and oozing with non-spooky-tasting JELLY. Get ready to sink your fangs into the hilarious new graphic novel Blood, treachery, and humor from two promising newcomers not enough? Count Dracula is not your average vampire. Well, sure, he's undead, hates garlic, and will burn up in sunlight––but unlike other vampires, he has a knack for baking. And it's his brunch club's famous blood-orange-jelly donuts that give his fellow vampires the energy source they need to live forever. But when Transylvania experiences a mysterious jelly shortage, it allows his nemesis, Constantine, to swoop in and steal the brunch club—and the vampires' loyalty—from Dracula. But it's not just jelly donuts at stake. When townsfolk start to go missing, Dracula suspects Constantine has far more sinister motives lurking that could threaten everything vampires and humans have worked for. With the help of his chef and human friend, Elena, Dracula must find a new energy source before every vampire and human turns on him and he loses his coveted brunch club forever.Buy It: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Draculas-Brunch-Club/Brian-Gonsar/9781637158401Theme Songs by Drew: Donuts and Darkness & Jelly DreamsLike & Subscribe on Youtube www.youtube.com/@comicsforfunandprofit5331Patreon https://www.patreon.com/comicsfunprofit Merch https://comicsfunprofit.threadless.comYour Support Keeps Our Show Going On Our Way to a Thousand EpisodesDonate Here https://bit.ly/36s7YeLAll the C4FaP links you could ever need  https://beacons.ai/comicsfunprofit Listen To the Episode Here: https://comcsforfunandprofit.podomatic.com/

Today I'm so pleased to welcome back someone who you all loved the first time around on the podcast - the brilliant author and travel writer, Monisha Rajesh. Her passion for trains, and for the way rail travel slows you down and opens you up to new worlds, was just infectious. And I'm so excited to say that she's back with a gorgeous new book called Moonlight Express, which takes us deep into the magical world of sleeper trains. In this new adventure, Monisha journeys across Europe, the Americas and beyond, trading airports for railway platforms and following moonlit tracks through some of the most cinematic landscapes on Earth, which we have the pleasure of chatting about today. From the soft snow and candlelit calm of the Norwegian night trains to the fairy-tale villages of Transylvania, glimpsed at sunrise through the window of a creaky couchette on the Dacia Express. Or to the pastel-painted streets of Savannah, Georgia, in the US, reached on Amtrak's Silver Meteor. She takes us high into the Andes too, aboard the luxurious Belmond Andean Explorer from Cusco to Arequipa, where the train carves through deserts and towering peaks, so close to everyday life you feel like you could touch it. And back in Britain, she celebrates her mum's 70th aboard the Royal Scotsman, sipping whisky in the observation car as the Highlands go past.She reminds us what makes train travel so unique: the romance, the community, and the chance to simply sit by the window and watch the world roll by.Destination Recap: Oslo to trondheim, Trondheim to Buda, NorwayTransylvania, Romania FinlandPeru - Belmond Andean Explorer - Cusco to ArequipaBelmond Royal Scotsman Caledonia Sleeper Train, London to Edinburgh Cornish Riviera trainSilver Meteor - Orlando, Florida to Savannah, GeorgiaSavannah, Georgia, USAMoonlight Express: Around the World by Night Train by Monisha Rajesh is published by Bloomsbury (28 August).With thanks to Airbnb for their support of today's episode.Thanks so much for listening today.

What if the real risk of AI isn't job loss but brain atrophy?Episode SummaryIf you've spent any time on social media recently, you'll be familiar with the flood of low-quality AI-generated sludge. And on this episode, I'm speaking to someone who is leading a one-woman campaign against it and in favour of human-generated content. Her name is Zsike Peter and she's the fiercely human founder of an agency called Vampire Digital; you'll hear why its called that on the show.  Zsike is also the author of a new book called Thinkbait: The Definitive Guide to Reclaiming Human Creativity in the Age of AI which seeks to highlight and combat the prevalence of AI-generated low-quality content.Her mission is a passionate defence of human creativity in an age where generative AI threatens to dull our minds and voices. Its a rallying cry for intentional, thoughtful use that keeps our agency intact. In a fascinating discussion, we explore her extraordinary backstory, from growing up in communist Transylvania to being arrested after escaping a toxic UK host family that hired her as an au pair. And you'll hear the remarkable story about how she went undercover in a brothel to win a journalism scholarship. These stories aren't just great anecdotes, they reveal a mindset of relentless curiosity, courage, and independence that informs her work today.What makes Zsike's objection to AI so compelling is that initially she embraced it.  But after having tried it out, she flipped from embracing generative AI to warning against its effects on our thinking. You'll hear her talk about the concept of Thinkbait as an alternative to clickbait; content that stimulates rather than stupefies.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has made plenty of headlines in just the past few days, mixing tour drama, family tension, a tough business loss, and international politics into the latest chapter of his story. Timberlake's European summer tour is winding down, with high-profile concerts across venues like Bánffy Castle in Transylvania on July 17 and upcoming dates in Paris, Tbilisi, Baku, and Istanbul through the end of July. His recent set at England's Lytham Festival turned chaotic when audio issues forced a halt mid-performance, prompting him to publicly lose his temper with his crew. Video clips of Timberlake animatedly dressing down staff made the rounds on social media, dividing fans between those criticizing him for being unprofessional and others defending his frustration as understandable under the circumstances, given the technical meltdown in front of thousands of paying fans. According to TMZ and Kiss 95.1, this incident was particularly embarrassing as the sound cut out during Cry Me a River, a song famously linked to his split with Britney Spears, leading to further chatter online about karma and showmanship.Offstage, Timberlake is facing scrutiny over the state of his marriage to actress Jessica Biel. Star Magazine is reporting that the couple's energy is “really bad” after a year of competing ambitions and the strains of their nearly 13-year marriage. Biel, coming off a snub for an Emmy nomination despite a high-visibility campaign for her role in The Better Sister, has reportedly not gotten much support from Timberlake, who himself is said to be weighed down by recent personal baggage. This runs from the much-publicized DWI arrest in 2024, to lingering fallout from allegations in Britney Spears' memoir, and even dating rumors from the set of Palmer. Insiders suggest Biel is well-positioned for her next act—with or without him—while Timberlake “needs the structure of family life,” hinting that a major reckoning could be ahead for their relationship when his tour winds down and he returns home.On the business front, it's a rough week for Timberlake as well: GolfWRX confirms he took a multimillion-dollar loss selling his beloved Mirimichi Golf Course in Memphis for just $500,000, after investing over $16 million into its renovation and restoration. Once a passion project and award-winning destination, the deal represents a significant financial blow for the pop star, though his net worth remains impressively high.Adding to the international attention, his planned July 23 show in Tbilisi has sparked a petition among Georgian fans urging him to speak out against their country's authoritarian tilt before performing as part of a government-funded initiative. According to OCCRP, organizers insist they don't want Timberlake to cancel but hope he'll use his platform to publicly support democracy—a high-profile political request that puts Timberlake in a potentially sensitive international spotlight. Altogether, this week has been classic Timberlake: sold-out shows, tabloid scrutiny, social media viral moments, and the persistent balancing act between global stardom and complicated personal realities.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Founded in 1780, what would become Transylvania University was established over a decade before Kentucky even became a state. In 1818, Horace Holley—a Yale-educated minister from Connecticut—took over as president of the fledgling institution. Holley attempted to transform the institution, but ran into a host of difficulties. Join us today for a discussion with a former research fellow, who has written a book exploring Holley's life and the tumultuous time that he spent at Transylvania. Dr. James P. Cousins is the President of Kentucky Wesleyan College. He holds a PhD from the University of Kentucky and has published widely on the history of education. He co-authored, Collaboration and the Future of Education: Preserving the Right to Think and Teach Historically. A former research fellow at the Kentucky Historical Society, Dr. Cousins will talk to us today about his book “Horace Holley: Transylvania University and the Making of Liberal Education in the Early American Republic,” which he published with the University Press of Kentucky. Kentucky Chronicles is inspired by the work of researchers worldwide who have contributed to the scholarly journal, The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, in publication since 1903. https://history.ky.gov/explore/catalog-research-tools/register-of-the-kentucky-historical-society Hosted by Dr. Allen A.

America is littered with lots of almost-states, which very nearly joined the Union in their own right, but for some reason did not. In today's episode we cover Vandalia, Transylvania, Westylvania, Franklin, and Nickajack. By investigating these almost-states, we delve into constitutional law on matters of succession, and tap into a centuries-old conflict between populist hillbillies and English lordlings. www.ThePoliticalOrphanage.com

Alive Again is available now. Search and listen wherever you get your podcasts. Kathy Preston was just a joyous little girl when the Holocaust tore through her golden childhood in Transylvania. In this unforgettable episode of Alive Again, Kathy recounts—in stunning detail—the moment her innocence ended, hiding in a barn as bayonets stabbed the straw just inches from her face. Miraculously, she survived. But this is more than a story of hiding and escape. Kathy’s story travels through persecution, displacement, and grief—but also healing, forgiveness, and the power of memory. She reflects on the woman who risked everything to save her life, on the trauma that shaped her worldview, and on the stubborn optimism that carries her forward. From being starved and hunted as a child, to building a joyful life with children and grandchildren, Kathy’s journey is a testament to resilience—and a reminder that surviving isn’t just about staying alive. It’s about choosing love over vengeance and passing that choice forward. And now, in her 80s, Kathy speaks to school children across the U.S. about the power of resistance, survival, and the importance of love over hate. “There are less and less people alive from the period I am from,” she tells us, “and the more people die, the less availability there is to connect with the past. I speak for the people who can’t speak for themselves.” Story producer: Nicholas Tecosky. For more information about Kathy and her work and books, you can go to www.katipreston.com Warning: This series contains graphic descriptions of trauma, violence, abuse, and other content that may not be suitable for certain listeners. * If you have a transformative near-death experience to share, we’d love to hear your story.

The Spinka chassidic dynasty was established in the late 19th century as a sort of offshoot of the Zidichov dynasty, by Rav Yosef Meir Weiss (1838-1909) in the town of Spinka, in the Maramuris region of Transylvania, then in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It soon gained a significant following and emerged as one of the prominent Hungarian Chassidic communities of the first half of the century. This was especially so under the able leadership of his son and successor Rav Yitzchak Eizik Weiss (1875-1944), the Chekel Yitzchak, who moved his court to the town of Selish following World War I. The Spinka Rebbe and most of his family were murdered by the Nazis in Auschwitz during the Holocaust, but surviving grandchildren who miraculously survived rebuilt Spinka in the United States and Israel after the war.
