On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into one of the most chilling and iconic crime scenes in American history: the Clutter House in Holcomb, Kansas. What began as a shocking multiple homicide in 1959 became a cultural touchstone through Truman Capote's In Cold Blood—and has since taken on a darker legacy. Locals and visitors alike have whispered about strange sounds, cold spots, and eerie feelings in the very rooms where the Clutter family met their tragic end.   But are these the echoes of restless spirits—or the lingering trauma of a town that never truly healed? From psychological theories to EVP recordings, Tony Brueski explores the intersection of true crime and the paranormal in this unsettling deep dive into the house that refuses to be forgotten.

     This week- two films featuring men abusing their positions of power and the fallout from it.     Miss Giddens is hired as a governess at Bly Manor. She is immediately taken with her young charge, Flora, and strikes an instant friendship with Mrs. Grose, the housekeeper. Despite the encouraging start, small moments of discomfort begin to poke at Miss Giddens new normal. When Miles is expelled from his boarding school, Miss Giddens finds herself caught up in the effects from the not too distant past. Based on one of the most influential horror tales ever written with a screenplay co-written by Truman Capote, taking a three week break from his magnum opus to work on it, and casting its own shadow nearly as long for itself- The Innocents.     Lillian founds a ballet company in the name of her late husband. Her ambulance-chasing attorney, Roland T. Flakfizer- assisted by associated   Rocco and Jacques, face off against the late husband's equally conniving lawyer, Edmundo Lazlo. The legal eagles compete to sign the world's greatest ballet dancer, "The Great" Volare, and to deliver an awe-inspiring Broadway debut for the new company. Inspired by the Marx Brothers, even being filmed at the same locations as several of their most beloved films, produced by David and Jerry Zucker, and fully embracing the "they don't make them like they used to" lifestyle- Brain Donors.     All that and Kevin enthuses, Dave forgot, and Tyler weeps in his Happy Place. Join us, won't you?   Episode 416- Synaptic Rotation

Marco Rossari"Piccolo dizionario delle malattie letterarie"Einaudi Editorewww.einaudi.itI libri sono una febbre bellissima, e tutti noi ne siamo malati. Ma che succede quando vi viene la sindrome di Salinger? E che cos'è l'intellettualite? Avete mai avuto il complesso di Henry Miller o la paranoia di Pessoa? E il flaubertismo, o il singhiozzo di Dickinson? Compilando questo breve, fulminante dizionario, Marco Rossari ci racconta cosa significhi esser contagiati dal virus delle parole. Perché è vero che la letteratura è spesso un portentoso medicinale, ma nessuno ci aveva mai detto che le controindicazioni possono essere pericolose e divertentissime.Con intelligenza e sarcasmo, Marco Rossari stila un elenco curioso ed esilarante di tic, compulsioni, vizi, vezzi e malattie immaginarie contratte da chi, nella vita, ha scelto di dedicarsi anima e corpo ai libri. Troverete l'antidepressivo Sedaris, il morbo di Bernhard, i medicamenti fasulli dell'autopubblicazione, la plaquette come forma di infezione batterica contratta tramite enjambement e la bukowskite, che sappiamo di avere quando ci svegliamo dopo una sbronza e improvvisamente ci sentiamo scrittori. E poi la temutissima sindrome di Franzen e quella adolescenziale di Siddharta, il borgesismo come forma acuta di labirintite. Chi contrae l'intellettualite legge Bachtin mentre tutta l'Italia guarda Sanremo, invece chi romanza troppo la propria vita potrebbe aver preso il morbo di Zeno… Pubblicato per la prima volta da Italo Svevo Edizioni nel 2016, torna in una nuova versione rivista e ampliata questo divertissement acuminato, perfetto per chi è capace di non prendersi troppo sul serio. Da sfogliare e leggere ad alta voce, da conservare come un talismano e consultare come un oracolo – anzi, un bugiardino.Marco Rossari ha pubblicato per Einaudi i romanzi Nel cuore della notte (2018) e L'ombra del vulcano (2023) e Piccolo dizionario delle malattie letterarie (2025). Nel 2019 ha pubblicato il volume di poesie Le bambinacce (Feltrinelli) a quattro mani con Veronica Raimo. Ha tradotto e curato opere di Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Truman Capote, Anthony Burgess, Charles Dickens, Joseph Conrad, George Orwell e tanti altri. Ha curato l'antologia Racconti da ridere (Einaudi 2017).

¿Debe tener límites la literatura cuando se adentra en territorios de profundo dolor real? ¿Hasta qué punto pueden ir los autores si escriben sobre historias verdaderas? El disparador de estas preguntas es la decisión que tomó hace pocas semanas la editorial Anagrama de no publicar la novela "El Odio" del escritor español Luisgé Martín. La obra, que retrata al asesino José Bretón, un andaluz que en 2011 mató a sus dos hijos pequeños en un acto de venganza contra su expareja, había generado una fuerte expectativa en España, entre otras razones por los recursos legales que interpuso la madre de los niños, Ruth Ortiz, para bloquear el libro. La Justicia no dio lugar a esos reclamos pero, de todos modos, la editorial optó por rescindir el contrato con el autor y retirar el libro antes de su publicación. Entrevistado por RTVE de España, el autor del texto aseguró que nadie en su entorno le planteó que la madre de las víctimas fuera a parar el libro, dado que en su mirada es una obra en la que “la empatía está con las víctimas”. "Me sorprende y me escandaliza también más que un libro como este se prohíba y se censure. Creo que puede aportar al diálogo". No es, por supuesto, el primer libro que se acercó a “villanos” de la vida real. Podríamos recordar aquella obra maestra de la novela periodística, "A sangre fría", de Truman Capote, con su crónica sobre dos hombres que mataron a una familia entera. O, más cerca en el tiempo, "El adversario", del francés Emmanuel Carrère. Los dos libros fueron publicados en español, justamente, por la editorial Anagrama. ¿Es la literatura un espacio sin límites? ¿Todo debe ser publicable en nombre de la libertad de expresión?

The Strokes… Music’s coolest ‘The’ Band of the early 21st century. Along with Sweden’s The Hives, Australia’s The Vines, and Detroit’s The White Stripes - The Strokes almost certainly had no intention of getting looped into the phenomenon of wispy haired indie rock bands that all seemed to break out between the summers of 2001 and 2002; because - if we’re being honest - they didn’t exactly have what you might call an indie origin story. Formed in New York City in as early as 1997 by Frontman Julian Casablancas, Guitarist Nick Valensi and Drummer Fabrizio Moretti at the illustrious Dwight Private School (which lists Truman Capote and Paris Hilton as Alumni) the trio would quickly recruit friend Nikolai Fraiture to play bass with them, as well as Guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. in ‘98. Hammond Jr. had just relocated to New York from Los Angeles by way of Switzerland, where he was childhood friends with Julian Casablancas - at - you guessed it - an even more illustrious Private Boarding School. Within less than 3 years, The Strokes would completely re-define what it would mean to be a trendy modern rock band - and they did it mostly on the back of this hit single; This is the story of The Strokes Last Nite, with newly unearthed audio from the band!

por Yaiza Santos Tiene algunas objeciones a la manera en que el periódico trata la última información sobre el fiscal general del Estado. Veremos qué tan exitosa resulta la cuestión, para quién y qué significa el adjetivo que con tanta ligereza ha lanzado el juez Hurtado. Es posible, incluso probable, que en el paquete entregado por Google no solamente estén correos electrónicos sino todo tipo de documentos. ¡Impensable algo así hace treinta años! De algo está seguro: nadie, y mucho menos una autoridad pública, resiste a la exhibición pública de una semana de comunicaciones. A cuento de los muertos de los pasados días –Vargas Llosa, Francisco, Prenafeta–, Santos leyó el imprescindible decálogo sobre el género, que, dijo él, no estaría mal que se aplicara también a los vivos. El documental sobre Carrère en Filmin y lo ocurrido con Luisgé Martín le empujan a despotricar sobre el pensamiento literario, y a recordar lo que le contaba Sánchez Ferlosio. Vuelve a detectarlo en el discurso de Pombo al recibir el Cervantes, cargado del narcisismo de aquello que decía Michel Leiris, el choque de dos palabras. Este Pombo crepuscular, por otra parte, tan parecido a Léautaud, le lleva a hacerse una pregunta que le parece obligatoria para toda persona con vida pública: ¿cuándo retirarse? No es el momento, desde luego, para Pascal Bruckner, que se demuestra entero y lúcido. Elogió del francés la metáfora que usa para Occidente sobre la princesa y el guisante, la verdadera naturaleza victimista que detecta en Trump y, sobre todo, lo que observa sobre la víctima, nuevo héroe. No, sentenció, recordando los peores años del terrorismo: la víctima puede no tener razón. Y fue así que Espada yiró.

Certo, può darsi. Oppure no. E i discendenti di Dracula non sono affatto la cosa peggiore che si può incontrare in una chat. C'è, per esempio, una setta di aspiranti “immortali” a caccia di ragazze affette da misteriose “malattie celesti”, una sorta di rarissimo elisir nel sangue umano la cui esistenza sarebbe accreditata da antiche leggende esoteriche tibetane, in grado di risvegliare immondi Nosferatu. Per tentare di fermare questo risveglio, si riunirà una compagnia di ragazze e ragazzi che approda in una Palermo virtuale, diventata una “zona morta” e una “terra di nessuno”.Piero Melati è stato cronista del quotidiano L'Ora di Palermo, per il quale ha seguito il Maxiprocesso e la guerra siciliana di mafia degli anni Ottanta, e vicecaporedattore alla cultura del Venerdì di Repubblica.

In honor of Felice Picano's gay literary legacy, I would like to re-feature my conversation with him that happened in April 2024. May you rest well Felice and thank you for all you did for gay rights. I'm joined with award winning author Felice Picano who was a key figure of the Greenwich Village literary community from the mid-1970s through the 1990s. He was one of the founders of the modern gay literature movement, particularly through his involvement with the literary salon the Violet Quill. He explains how Violet Quill came to be, and why he decided to co-found this literary society with six other gay writers in New York City, including Andrew Holleran and Edmund White. Their goal? To meet and give each other creative feedback at a time when gay literature wasn't being taken seriously at all. During his time in Greenwich Village's gay literary scene, Felice explains that he met many notable authors like Frank O'Hara, Allen Ginsberg, and yes even Truman Capote. In 1977, he founded Sea Horse Press, the country's first gay-oriented publishing house, and in 1981, he became editor-in-chief of The Gay Presses of New York. He continues to teach and write, and one day hopes that Hollywood matures enough to adapt more queer literature into films.You can find all of Felice's books here: ⁠https://www.felicepicano.net/⁠

Written off as a mere courtesan and social climber, her true legacy was overshadowed by a glamorous social life and her infamous erotic adventures. Much of what she did behind the scenes – on both sides of the Atlantic - remained invisible and secret. That is, until now: with a wealth of fresh research, interviews and newly discovered sources, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full, spectacular story of how she left an indelible mark on the world today. At age 20 Churchill's beloved daughter-in-law became a “secret weapon” during World War II, strategically wining, dining, and seducing diplomats and generals to help win over American sentiment (and secrets) to the British cause against Hitler. After the war, she helped to transform Fiat heir Gianni Agnelli into Italy's ‘uncrowned king' on the international stage and after moving to the US brought a struggling Democratic party back to life, hand-picking Bill Clinton from obscurity and vaulting him to the presidency. Picked as Ambassador to France, she deployed her legendary subtle powers to charm world leaders and help efforts to bring peace to Bosnia, playing her part in what was arguably the high-water mark of American global supremacy. There are few at any time who have operated as close to the center of power over five decades and two continents, and there is practically no one in 20th Century politics, culture, and fashion whose lives she did not touch, including the Kennedys, Truman Capote, Aly Khan, Kay Graham, Gloria Steinem, Ed Murrow, and Frank Sinatra.
