Podcasts about Two Sisters

Continuing the 2025 Summer Reading Spectacular, Steve chats with Rachel Louise Driscoll, author of The House of Two Sisters, about her background as a librarian, the blending of Victorian Gothic and Egyptian mythology in her book, sisterhood (real and mythic!), and why Victorian England was primed for Egyptomania! Following the interview, in The Circ Desk … Continue reading 294: The House of Two Sisters by Rachel Louise Driscoll – Summer Reading Spectacular

When Swedish twins Ursula and Sabina Eriksson suddenly began throwing themselves into speeding traffic on a UK motorway—captured on camera by a reality TV crew—it was only the beginning of a shared psychotic break that would lead to superhuman strength, psychiatric hospitalization, and ultimately murder.==========HOUR ONE: In 1761, a young Frenchman died violently. This tragedy would lead to what is still one of that country's most famous cases of judicial injustice. Assuming, of course, that it truly was an injustice at all. (The Mysterious Death of Marc Antoine Calas) *** Most know them as “The Hidden Folk.” The elusive and magical residents of Iceland, who live inside rocks and sometimes play games with unsuspecting passers-by. Are they real? That's a complicated question, if you ask Icelanders. (The Elves of Iceland) *** As two boys were walking back to the house on their farm, a small stone rolled past them. Then a second one. They immediately thought some other boys were hiding in the scrub and throwing stones for a joke.  They couldn't have been more wrong. (Stone Throwing Spirits) *** Belle Gunness lured numerous suitors to her Indiana farm. Not to entertain them or to be courted by them. She simply wanted to kill them in cold blood and dump their bodies in her hog pen. (Belle Gunness – The Black Widow of the Midwest) *** "They're going to steal your organs!" screamed Sabina Eriksson, before running toward oncoming traffic on the M6 highway, having already been hit head-on by a Volkswagen. Her twin sister, Ursula, legs crushed by the truck that had just run her over, was spitting and screaming at paramedics on the side of the road. Now, many years after these events, we're still no closer to understanding the chaos that occurred over two days in 2008 involving psychotic twin sisters on a UK highway. (The Disturbing Case of the Eriksson Twins)==========HOUR TWO: In 1882 the Ma'amtrasna murders, the brutal killing of several members of the Joyce family in rural Galway, caused outrage in Irish society and remains one of the most notorious homicides in Irish history. However a few years later Cork was rocked by an equally heinous case which has largely been forgotten. We'll look at the brutal murders of four family members that took place in Castletownroche, Ireland. (The Castletownroche Murders) *** An Arizona family encounters a creature from the dark side of a Navajo legend. (The Arizona Skinwalker) *** John Blair liked to keep things “in the family”. But in his case, it wasn't just a saying. It was literal. Because John was infamous for being bigamous. (Bigamous Blair) *** Dozens of Korean War GI's claimed an unidentified flying object made them all sick. Theories range from high-tech Soviet death rays to extraterrestrials studying how we engage in battle to combat-stress-induced hallucinations. What actually happened? (The Korean War UFO)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Were people ever really tortured in Iron Maidens?

Sisters of the Same HeartIn this episode, Rev. Dr. Alix D. Pridgen explores the timeless story of Mary and Martha — and invites us to challenge the old divide between rest and work. With honesty, warmth, and real-life stories, this message speaks to anyone feeling stretched thin or longing for deeper connection.You'll hear how stillness is not weakness, but the sacred space where God meets us, renews us, and empowers us for the road ahead. Whether you're a Martha in overdrive or a Mary aching for meaning, this episode offers grace, hope, and a fresh invitation: to be held, to be healed, and to be moved by love into action.

These two adulterous sisters were Aholah and Aholibah.

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Names of Two Sisters Subtitle: Ezekiel Speaker: Seth Bourn Broadcaster: Grace Baptist Church Event: Prayer Meeting Date: 7/9/2025 Bible: Ezekiel 23:1-4 Length: 33 min.

This was being said to Israelites, chosen people of God, those whom He loved.

In Luke 10:38-42, we learn that devotion to Jesus and his word is the one necessary and enduring priority above all other good responsibilities. I. Devotion to Jesus is the One Necessary Priority. A. Martha's priorities were wrong. B. Mary's priorities were right. II. Devotion to Jesus is the One Enduring Priority. A. Martha's priorities were temporal. B. Mary's priorities were eternal.

Jessie was 21. Molly was 11. Two days after their joint birthdays, their mom, Jill, was murdered by Molly's father. In the hours, days, and years that followed, there was little room for grief. Jessie and Molly were expected to keep going — and they did. But that forward momentum came at a cost.  It's been nearly 20 years, and only recently have Jessie and Molly begun to revisit what happened and what it's meant to live with unspoken grief and unacknowledged trauma. As part of that process, they discovered a manila envelope packed away in storage - inside were eight children's book manuscripts written by their mom in the 1980s. Finding those stories sparked a new chapter of connection with their mom and motivated them to work towards getting them illustrated and published.   Note: This conversation includes descriptions of domestic violence, stalking, violent death, and suicide. If you or someone you know needs support, see the list of resources below.  In this conversation, Jessie and Molly talk about: What their mom was like and what she meant to each of them Their vastly different experiences of the day she was killed  What stood in the way of them naming what they lived through as abuse and trauma  How grief became something they held privately, even from each other  The impact of finally receiving permission to feel and grieve  Their efforts to get their mom's children's stories published  Follow along and support their project: Barty Books on Instagram GoFundMe: Everyone Has A Story To Tell.  Dougy Center: https://www.dougy.org National Domestic Violence Hotline - 1-800-799-7233 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline - 988

This interview left me feeling inspired and grounded.  I sat down with Hayley and Stephanie Painter, the passionate co-owners behind Painterland Sisters, a family-run brand that's redefining what it means to bring food from farm to spoon.  Raised on a fourth-generation regenerative farm in Pennsylvania, they've taken their roots and turned them into a vibrant, values-driven business that's nourishing people and the planet. In our conversation, we dive into how their Icelandic-style yogurt is not just a product, but a platform for connection, connecting consumers to farming, sustainability, and rural America. We talk about the highs and lows of building a CPG brand with family, the grit it takes to stay mission-aligned, and how they're navigating retail with boldness and heart. It's a story of sisterhood, soil, and serious entrepreneurial spirit. Here are some highlights from the episode: * How a regenerative farm upbringing shaped their business philosophy * The decision to launch with Icelandic-style yogurt—and why that mattered * What it takes to scale from local markets to national retail chains * Why storytelling and transparency are central to their brand DNA * Lessons learned from staying rooted in values while growing fast Join me, Ramon Vela, in listening to the episode and discover how two sisters are turning rural pride and regenerative farming into a standout CPG brand with heart.

Ilena and Meleana Levitt didn't just talk about school choice—they lived it. When their father became a fully disabled veteran and their family could no longer afford private school, these two Montana sisters made a bold and uncommon decision: they worked nearly full-time jobs as teenagers to pay for the education they believed in. It wasn't easy—but it was worth it. Now, as young adults, they're turning their personal story into public advocacy, fighting to expand school choice in Montana so that no student has to sacrifice like they did just to access the education that fits them best. In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Ilena and Meleana to discuss what classical education taught them, how their family rallied behind them, and why school choice policies—like education savings accounts—are a game-changer for families who just want the freedom to choose what's best for their kids. Their story is a testament to hard work, personal agency, and the power of policy to open doors for the next generation. School choice isn't a theory for these sisters—it's the reason they're thriving. This is the kind of potential that gets unlocked when families—not systems—are put first.

We take a look at another horror film, this time our first Korean Horror film. This was only picked because the poster made me do it.  It's a horror movie that is told you by a lying narrator but also something you don't realize till the very end.  It's a film that's made to make you think.  I am joined by a few horror fans for us to dig deep and explain this movie. Starring Mike Albertin, Tiffany Albertin, Kenneth Sanity, and Bill Tucker.

This week we're reading two stories that are often read separately, the Good Samaritan parable and Jesus's visit with Mary and Martha as told in Luke 10:25-42. The Good Samaritan has us thinking about the question of our obligations to our neighbors in need. When a lawyer asks Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?,” Jesus responds with a story that seems to dispense with the category of neighbor altogether, instead insisting that one must show compassion to whomever is in need. The Mary and Martha story leads us to think about the legitimate tasks of ministry and how they can sometimes be a distraction from listening to Jesus, which is the one thing a divine voice has commanded in this Gospel.

It's a movie that defined a lot of my growing up years, but really hit hard when I experienced my first real heartbreak: Sense and Sensibility. In our 18 years together, Brad has never seen it, despite it being one of my very favorite movies of all time. Today, we set out to change that. Listen in to hear why I love this movie so much and if Brad felt anywhere close to the same. Want the second half the the episode? Good news!

Nikki & Brie are in the thick of it. Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday…there's a lot going on and Christmas isn't even here yet! The Twins had plans to spend Thanksgiving together, but some unexpected events created opportunities for Nikki and Brie to celebrate the holiday in new ways. Then the sisters turned their attention to taking advantage of big deals on Black Friday and getting the most bang for their buck, but it's a Tale of Two Sisters because one of them did all of her shopping online while the other took to the streets and covered all of her Christmas bases in person.  Upon Birdie & Buddy's request, Brie has brought an Elf on the Shelf into her house. But it's not something that Nikki's prepared to do for Matteo just yet. Matteo is turning into quite the artist and his latest muse is Charlie Brown, Nikki will explain.  During the break, Brie took the kids to see Wicked and can't stop talking about it; Nikki wonders if she will miss out on a huge cultural touchstone involving flying monkeys and incredible songs. Brie also discovered a new way to keep Birdie and Buddy from trying to steal her snacks at the movies. Is this a method that could also work for you the next time you're at the theater? Then Nikki & Brie map out what they want for the rest of their 2024. There's one month left, which means you can still end the year as you wish. One is intent on not trying to overdo it this holiday season, the other is looking forward to creating balance and laying the groundwork for a better 2025.  Nikki closes the episode out with TWO choices for Inspiration & Affirmation. Why pick one when you can have two?  Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!
