Episode 489 / Alexis RockmanBorn in 1962 in New York, Alexis Rockman has depicted a darkly surreal vision of the collision between civilization and nature – often apocalyptic scenarios on a monumental scale – for over three decades. Notable solo museum exhibitions include “Alexis Rockman: Manifest Destiny” at the Brooklyn Museum (2004), which traveled to several institutions including the Wexner Center for the Arts (2004) and the Rhode Island School of Design (2005). In 2010, the Smithsonian American Art Museum organized “Alexis Rockman: A Fable for Tomorrow,” a major touring survey of his paintings and works on paper. Concurrent with Rockman's 2013 exhibition at Sperone Westwater, the Drawing Center mounted “Drawings from Life of Pi,” featuring the artist's collaboration with Ang Lee on the award-winning film Life of Pi. His series of 76 New Mexico Field Drawings was included in “Future Shock” at SITE Santa Fe (2017-18). “Alexis Rockman and Mark Dion: A Journey to Nature's Underworld” was presented at the Bruce Museum, Greenwich, CT (2023) and traveled to the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (2024). It will be on view at the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY until 5 January 2025, and at the Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State from August 30th through December 7th. His work is represented in many museum collections, including the Baltimore Museum of Art; Brooklyn Museum; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art; Grand Rapids Art Museum; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; New Orleans Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Smithsonian American Art Museum; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; and Whitney Museum of American Art. Rockman's first solo exhibition with Sperone Westwater, “Evolution,” was presented in 1992. He has had subsequent solo exhibitions at the gallery in 2013, 2018, 2020-21 and 2023. He lives and works in Warren, Connecticut.

In this episode of the podcast, I'm joined by author Ron K. Fried for a deep dive into one of the most compelling figures in organized crime history: Frank Costello, the mob boss who rose to power during Prohibition and later became known as the “Prime Minister of the Underworld.” We discuss Ron's novel Frank Costello: A Novel—a carefully researched work of historical fiction that vividly brings Costello's complex character to life. Together, we explore the real-life events behind the book and how Ron approached writing about a man who straddled the worlds of organized crime and political power.We start with Costello's early years—his immigration from Sicily, his upbringing in East Harlem, and how he gravitated toward petty crime and gang life. In this environment, he met future legends like Charles “Lucky” Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, and Vito Genovese—key figures in the creation of a national crime syndicate.During Prohibition, Costello built his fortune and reputation through bootlegging, running extensive liquor operations, and leveraging alliances that would shape the mob's future. We discuss the bloody 1931 power shift following the assassinations of Joe Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano, which led to the formation of the Five Families. As Luciano's trusted associate, Costello rose in the ranks of what would become the Genovese Crime Family.We explore the mid-1930s transition period when Luciano was imprisoned and Genovese fled to Italy to avoid a murder charge. This opened the door for Costello to become acting boss, a position he would hold for nearly 20 years. During this time, he built a reputation as a refined, politically connected mobster who favored influence over brute force—garnering real sway in political and judicial circles.We delve into Costello's political entanglements, including the wiretap involving Judge Thomas Aurelio, in which Costello was caught influencing judicial appointments. We also examine his ties to New York Mayor William O'Dwyer and his suspected involvement in the mysterious death of Abe Reles, a Murder, Inc. informant who “fell” from a window while under police protection.One major focus is Costello's appearance at the 1951 Kefauver Committee hearings, a turning point in his career. His decision to only allow his hands to be filmed became a media sensation and diminished his power and mystique. The public scrutiny weakened his position and empowered rivals—most notably, Vito Genovese, who sought to reclaim the top spot in the family.We look at the 1957 assassination attempt on Costello, carried out by Vincent “The Chin” Gigante on Genovese's orders. Though Costello survived, he chose to step down. We also discuss the murder of Albert Anastasia later that year, and the theory that Costello may have had a hand in framing Genovese, leading to his 1959 conviction on narcotics charges.From there, we examine Costello's final years, during which he remained influential behind the scenes but largely retired from active leadership. We reflect on his complex legacy: a ruthless gangster who carefully curated an image of legitimacy and respectability. Ron shares how he explored that duality in his novel—bringing humanity to a man who lived in both the criminal underworld and the corridors of political power.We also discuss mob portrayals in film and television, and look ahead to the upcoming 2025 gangster film Alto Knights, a much-anticipated movie featuring dramatizations of several key historical figures we covered. Our conversation touches on why the Mafia continues to fascinate the public and how Frank Costello's story stands apart as one of strategy, survival, and power.

This month on the Feminine Frequency with Jennifer Mulak, we sit down with a dear friend Beth Carestia. Living in the Hudson Valley for almost two decades Beth has come to love our vibrant and diverse community. Local Tarot Reader, proud O+ Alum performer with The Goddess Party and soon to be the MC for the O+ Festival Comedy Show second year running.Playing faithfully with the Rosendale Ukulele group for some time now has brought Beth joy beyond measure. Also being Beth's fifth time contributing her voice to a Radio Kingston show, all have become sparkling personal highlights.We chat with Beth about recently leaving her 9-5 and stepping into what's next. How the yearning to do something more aligned with her passion and purpose started brewing long before the leap, how the loss of the structure has nudged her to look more deeply inward and importantly, how she values and cares for herself. We talk about how she's approaching life with less structure, more joy and a lot of compassion for self. Having all been there in one way or the other, we all vibe about what it is to be in that liminal space, sometimes called the void or the underworld, between where you've been and where you're going.This past weekend's New Moon is perfectly aligned with what we're talking about and where we're at.Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

It's that time again — the annual Venus–Pluto opposition arrives, stirring the cauldron of feminine power, creative intensity, seduction, and deep transformation. As Venus faces off with the Lord of the Underworld, we're invited to explore the beauty in the shadow and the magnetism of what's hidden. This week also brings another long Void Moon, opening a liminal space where inspiration brews in silence. Deb reflects on the potent creativity that can arise in this cosmic pause — especially as it unfolds beside Venus and Pluto's dramatic dance. Meanwhile, Uranus and Neptune align with a touch of magic, weaving imagination and surprise into the week's energy. All this — and so much more — on The Golden Astrologer Podcast. Tune in, conjure wisely, and let the stars speak.

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 18th - 22nd August (Episodes #11,647 - 11,652). There was definitely something in the Weatherfield water this week as everyone seemed to be more than a little bit randy! From Steve and Cassie (and an unwilling third party teddy bear) cavorting in the living room of Number 9 to Sarah-Louise using her best seduction techniques on Underworld's latest client, the cobbles were practically steaming - and as for Abi and Carl's saucy antics.. well we can definitely say we were pleased to see Tracy pouring a bucket of cold water over that on Friday! Also this week, we had Aadi deciding that a trip to India maybe isn't  such a bad idea after all, romance between Dee-Dee and Olly, and an some intriguing comments from Costello that had us theorising all sorts about the circumstances surrounding Becky's death... After the Street Talk segment of the podcast, we were off to The Kabin, where we take a look at which cast members have been nominated for an NTA this year, and we finish things off with some lovely listener feedback.

From the Lock Tavern via The Gun to spoons… Family Silver are Mr Nick ‘The Gun' Stephens and Casper ‘Volte Face' Clark. Nick was the publican at The Gun, a much-loved Hackney institution that recently closed its doors – more on that here for those who have been living under a rock. Nick's excellent Netil radio show can also be found here. Casper, is based in Clapton and was the music programmer for Camden institution The Lock Tavern where our paths originally crossed – most of the time being kicked out whilst DJing. Casper's shared stages with Justice, Jeff Mills, Helena Hauff, Daniel Avery and many more and is also known for his long-running BleeD events via which he collaborated with labels like Blackest Ever Black, PAN and Downwards. Both share a love for “v lo-fi early eighties sound, kosmische, post-punk and scuzzy electronics,” with Nick's influences ranging from 80s TV themes and Giorgio Moroder to The KLF, while Casper was shaped in his youth by electronic acts like Leftfield, Underworld, and William Orbit with DJ Hell's International Deejay Gigolo Records becoming a huge influence later on. Their sound sits between post-punk and the electronic… so with that in mind let's give it a listen shall we? Handily via the wonder of a recording from this year's Field Maneuvers where they opened The Gun's stage.

The Underworld is the place where you broke bread with Baba Yaga, made peace with limit, were fed small scraps of meat by crows when you needed it the most. It's the deep dip in a myth, the katabasis, the descent, the mischievous, startling bewilderment of irrational energies. Logic has little traction at such a moment. Successful returnees of the Underworld are Blake, Anna Swir, Patti Smith, Elie Wiesel. Sometimes we make these journeys alone, sometimes as a culture.My petition is that we accept the challenge of uncertainty. As a matter of personal style. It's the right thing to do. It's what the Anglo-Saxons called “living in the bone-house.” We get older, we find life is riven with weirdness. We should be weird too. To know, tell, and create stories is a wondrous skill that keeps faith with the traditional and beauteous techniques our ancestors used when faced with the sudden mists and tripwires of living. —Martin Shaw

Chris and Molly read Underworld, part 15. Part 2, chapter4. You look at them, and they kill you. Discussion starts at 26:02.

We venture into the inner spaces of the earth to explore her mysteries, rekindle wonder. As we cross the threshold into the underland, following our own Cerunnos, our knowledgeable guide, we find ourselves within an adventure in which space and time change at every step, climbing, descending, grasping onto crevices and cracks to move ahead and discover the possibilities that hide right under our feet. We also go further into the life story of the owner of the Rio Claro Reserve and listen to his words and wisdom regarding the issues of the Magdalena River, so intertwined with the history of Colombia, as revealed in the new Wade Davis book. I conclude with the emergence of the new face of the Green Human, the newest  earthlings who will be tasked with re-building a radically different, nature-centric future.

Chris and Molly read Underworld, part 14. Part 2, Chapter 3. Brian & Marvin, Fresh Kills Landfill. Discussion starts at 24:50.

Indiana Jones' further adventures may have stopped (for now), but Brian and Sam are still at it! And they've brought along a Star Friend from A Long Time Ago, Kregg Castillo, to dive into a Thrawn storyline published over a year and a half ago! In addition to our bafflement regarding the insane way Marvel has chosen to present this storyline, Sam is also having his R5-D4 dreams crushed, Brian is reminiscing on his recent travels abroad, and the whole gang is finally taking a trip to the Underworld. 

We're still not done with Libra – or Libra is not done with us! In Episode 28, DDSWTNP pick up threads left hanging after our three-part treatment of DeLillo's JFK novel. While tackling a wide variety of subjects, this episode homes in on Anthony DeCurtis's 1988 interview with DeLillo for Rolling Stone (and later re-published in expanded form), “An Outsider in This Society.” We're led to discuss DeLillo's canny interview articulations in general, his method of writing by day and reading more history by night, and his reply to the suggestion that on the basis of Libra some readers regarded him as “a member of the paranoid left”: “I don't have a program.” Along the way we also draw in vivid evidence of how DeLillo subtly reworked the voice of Marguerite Oswald from testimony in the Warren Report, what fellow Oswald novelist Norman Mailer had to say about Libra, and all that is illuminated by an exchange of letters to the New York Times between DeLillo and one of the Warren Report investigators. We also try here to understand as fully as possible the nuances of DeLillo's ideas about historical fiction that emerge in the incredible DeCurtis interview: what DeLillo means when he says Libra is “a piece of work which is obviously fiction,” touts novels' ability to “redeem” readers' “despair,” and makes the powerful claim that “fiction rescues history from its confusions.” We quote enough that listeners will get plenty of insight even without having read the DeCurtis interview in full, and we look forward to applying many of the lessons about history learned here to future works like Underworld. “Some stories never end,” as DeLillo writes to begin “Assassination Aura,” and that's true of this episode's cover image, which uses a National Enquirer cover from March 2025 about new releases of JFK files. The interlude clip near the beginning is from Oswald's August 1963 interviews on WDSU-TV in New Orleans. Finally, as we note in the episode, thanks to Joel in Toronto for an Instagram comment (we're @delillopodcast) that inspired our return to the DeCurtis interview. Texts mentioned and discussed in this episode: Aristotle, Poetics.

Laura and Maria discuss what happened on the recent DRI Dream retreat to the ancient dream healing site of Epidavros in Greece.  We join them while they are there, enjoying the sights and sounds of this powerful ancient complex dedicated to Asklepios, the God of Healing and go down into the Abaton with them.   As part of the 4 day retreat the retreatants also visit the ancient city of Corinth, much still standing, and then enjoy the powerful temple dedicated to the secretive Eleusinian mysteries at Elefsina near Athens. We hear Laura and Maria reflect while there on how impressive the 3000 year old complex still is and they recall the cult of the resurrection mysteries which are dedicated to the myth of Goddess Demeter and her daughter, Persephone who is stolen by Hades, the Death God of the Underworld, and has to live in the dark for six months of each year before being allowed to return to the earth and her mother. The power of centuries of worship here can still be felt today.   Details of our next retreats and events will be advertised on the DRI website: driccpe.org.uk    Our dreams are worth inquiring about too!

Welcome to Earth A Love Story. I'm your host Robin Lassiter.This time on the podcast I speak with author, experiencer, husband, father and all around great guy, Edson Freeman. Edson has just released his first book Strange Light: Personal Accounts of UFO's, NDE's and other Enduring Mysteries.We had a wonderful conversation about what it's like to be a writer, his journey from skeptic to author in the field of the absurd, mysterious and paranormal, how the phenomenon seems to “tap” experiencers for certain projects and more. Before we get into it, I feel like I owe a report on thewhat and where and what the fuck of the last few months of my life. I've gone through a month-long solitary silent retreat, I'm no longer the community manager of the Experiencer Group, I've traveled back and forth across the country in my trusty truck Denny multiple times, and oops I fell in love. ‘Member when I said 2025 is the weirdest timeline with the most potential? Yes, that. I keep trying to wrap my head around how to sum all of thisup, as well as the fact that the Armageddon dreams are back, how I'm making sense of them, how I'm wrestling with what is Evolution through Joy anyway, and is it ok to be ok as the world shudders in ways that modern humans have nevercollectively felt. How to talk about the new Underworld journey that's arrived. Ereshkigel calling me down and in again and again and how GOOD it is to be back there. So much to say. So many threads and tributaries all woven together, and it's all defying orderliness. So instead, I give you bad poetry. You know you missed it.

John Maytham speaks to Pieter du Toit, News24’s assistant editor for investigations and author of the searing analysis: “Sodi, Matlala: How the ANC’s Vulgar Ecosystem of Extraction Flourishes.” In his piece, du Toit lays bare the intersecting interests of corrupt tenderpreneurs, government officials, and ANC elites—what he calls the golden triangle of systemic corruption. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather.

This time, the animated stories focused on one character long thought dead due to a novel and another character whom we saw meet their demise at the hands of Boba Fett in The Book of Boba Fett! But it turns out both Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane had some more stories left in them after all. Join the crew of the Drunken Gungan as we debate whether this was a worthwhile exercise...or an exercise in futility.

Cad Bane is bound to a life of blood and money. (And blood money.) Will it be his only legacy?Deeply out of chronological order, we're venturing five or six decades before the Battle of Yavin to watch Cad Bane grow up in “Tale of the Underworld.” We examine how, and why, Star Wars chose to tell a police drama, a spaghetti Western, and a Mafia crime ascendancy in the same story. We parse the fantasy of the “good cop,” wonder about Cad and Niro's legacy, and discuss the critical reception of this very lovely piece of animation.

This week on MYTH, we're headed north of north to meet some very unusual husbands. You'll learn that short kings make the best providers, that kayaks can be turned into submarines with a little know-how (and a lot of magic), and that you should be careful where you throw rocks. Then, in Gods and Monsters, handsome strangers are not always who they appear to be. Source: Inuit Mythology

 "Camp Shame" is an eight-episode investigative series that delves into the darker aspects of Camp Shane's operations. Snelling, through meticulous research and heartfelt interviews, exposes how the camp, under the guise of promoting health, often pushed children to their physical and emotional limits. The podcast critically examines the systemic issues and societal pressures that allowed such practices to persist for over half a century.Central to the podcast are the firsthand accounts of former campers. These individuals recount experiences of being subjected to extreme diets, intense physical regimens, and psychological tactics aimed at enforcing conformity to narrow beauty standards. Many describe lasting impacts, including struggles with body image, self-esteem, and mental health. Snelling's compassionate storytelling ensures that these voices are heard, validated, and contextualized within broader societal issues.Beyond the confines of Camp Shane, "Camp Shame" serves as a commentary on the pervasive culture of fatphobia and the commodification of weight loss. The podcast challenges listeners to reflect on how societal obsessions with thinness can lead to harmful practices, especially when targeted at vulnerable populations like children. It also questions the ethics of for-profit institutions that capitalize on these obsessions without adequate oversight or concern for long-term well-being.Episodes available here:Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-camp-shame-272594326/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Kelly is the oldest of three siblings. Her own birth was a hospital induction—an experience that led her mother to choose home birth for her subsequent children. The intergenerational thread of trauma from Kelly's birth carried forward into her own experiences with childbirth. With her first two children, she faced intense postpartum periods, and separation from her babies. The birth of Kelly's third child, however, was a transformative home birth. This healing experience not only helped her process the trauma of her previous births but also reached back a generation, bringing healing to her own birth story as well. Follow Kelly on Instagram @kelly.atxdoulas If you love the show, I would greatly appreciate a review on  Spotify or Apple Podcasts!  Follow me on Instagram @healingbirth Do you have a birth story you'd like to share on the podcast, or would like to otherwise connect?

A rethinking of African American religious history that focuses on the development and evolution of Africana spiritual traditions in Jim Crow New Orleans. When Zora Neale Hurston traveled to New Orleans, she encountered a religious underworld, a beautiful anarchy of spiritual life. In Underworld Work, Ahmad Greene-Hayes follows Hurston on a journey through the rich tapestry of Black religious expression from emancipation through Jim Crow. He looks within and beyond the church to recover the diverse leadership of migrants, healers, dissidents, and queer people who transformed their marginalized homes, bars, and street corners into sacred space. Greene-Hayes shows how, while enclosed within an antiblack world, these outcasts embraced Africana esotericisms--ancestral veneration, faith healing, spiritualized sex work, and more--to conjure a connection to freer worlds past and yet to come. In recovering these spiritual innovations, Underworld Work celebrates the resilience and creativity of Africana religions. Learn more about your ad choices.
