Podcasts about Unearthed

In this episode of The Filmumentaries Podcast, I'm joined by filmmaker John Campopiano and producer Jim Beller to talk about their new documentary, The Farmer and the Shark. The film centres on Craig Kingsbury, a farmer from Martha's Vineyard who appeared in Jaws (1975), playing Ben Gardner, the local fisherman whose abandoned boat is discovered by Chief Brody early in the film. From that small but unforgettable role, the documentary explores Craig's life, his connection to the island, and how his story intersects with the legacy of Jaws. John Campopiano is the director of the film and is known for documentaries including Unearthed & Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary and Pennywise: The Story of IT. Jim Beller is one of the producers of The Farmer and the Shark - former producer of my Inside Jaws - A Filmumentary and all round Jaws expert.I should note that I haven't seen the finished film yet, so this conversation focuses on the making of the documentary, how the project came together, why Craig Kingsbury's story stood out, earning trust, and shaping a film around a real person whose life briefly intersected with a cinematic landmark. If you're looking for a calm, thoughtful conversation about film history, storytelling, and the people behind the scenes, I hope this episode provides a welcome distraction.

In 1968, a group of Luton apprentices started creating a rock opera. Chris Stokes and his band Genesis (not that Genesis) conceived a concept album with baroque piano arrangements and experimental passages, then packed it away and got on with their day jobs. For over 50 years, this album and other material spanning a decade, existed only on deteriorating tape and acetates. Chris recorded with various lineups from the mid-1960s including The Mantis Set, Genesis, and Sunday Painter, mostly at home on a Revox tape machine; self-financed, largely improvised, never properly released. Then Dimorphodons from Hand of Glory Records bought a battered Hohner keyboard on eBay for £10, heard a sample track, and discovered a treasure trove of lost British psychedelia. Chris and Dimorphodons share highlights from this incredible archive, with the bulk of these tracks heard in public for the first time.

There's a house in Hartford City, Indiana, that locals whisper about—but few dare to enter after dark. Known as the Monroe House, it's earned a reputation as one of the most haunted locations in the state, a place where strange voices echo through empty rooms and shadows seem to crawl just out of sight. For over seven years, Matt Benton and his team dug into the house's dark past—interviewing witnesses, capturing chilling evidence, and uncovering a discovery in the crawl space that feels pulled straight from a nightmare: ritualistic objects buried deep beneath the floor, as if the earth itself was trying to keep them hidden. Matt shares how seven years of relentless research and hundreds of hours of footage came together to tell the house's story—not just as a documentary, but as an immersive, dread-soaked experience designed to pull viewers inside the haunting itself. This isn't just another ghost story. This is an invitation into one of America's most sinister hauntings—and a glimpse at what happens when something evil refuses to stay buried. Today on The Grave Talks, Evil Unearthed: The Monroe House, a conversation with Joe Vitale and Matt Benton.

Our fascination with ancient mysteries was rewarded in 2025 with a host of incredible discoveries that are shedding light on the past. Curious findings throughout the year have pushed back the timescales on the beginnings of ancient structures in Europe and other parts of the world, unusual artifacts found in odd places, and in some cases, discoveries that are bridging the gap between ancient history and mythology. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at some of the most fascinating and unusual archaeological discoveries of the last twelve months, from curiosities of the ancient world to lost technologies, forgotten societies, and monumental structures that are reshaping our views on the lives of the ancients.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

In this episode of Unearthed, hosts Joe Cavatoni and John Reade, Senior Market Strategists at the World Gold Council, are joined by Allan Guild, Director at Hilltop Walk Consulting and long-time partner to the World Gold Council. Together, they explore a major innovation poised to reshape how gold is traded, owned, and integrated into global financial infrastructure: Wholesale Digital Gold and the introduction of Pooled Gold Interests (PGIs). Joe and John walk through the implications for market participants, from clearing banks and exchanges to ETF issuers and digital asset innovators. Allan also shares an update on the project's development, the upcoming pilot program in the London OTC market, and key milestones that will signal progress as PGIs move from concept to operational reality.

Maybe wholesale digital gold can fill that opportunity gap and bring us into a more modern era.” – Joe Cavatoni “Right now, you've got a universe of participants that support the gold market, but I'm hearing about a market that will allow those that may not have a full vault or custodian capability to be more active.” – Joe Cavatoni “We're seeing something like $250 billion of gold changing hands every day… so physical gold works. I'm interested to hear what wholesale digital gold can do to improve a market that's performing pretty well.” – John Reade “Gold is a unique asset with this combination of a physical market and a financial market. Wholesale digital gold can address the gaps that stop gold from being a top-tier financial asset in terms of its utility.” – Allan Guild “PGIs are uniquely positioned to power a future set of digital end-user products in the gold market.” – Allan Guild   About World Gold Council We are a membership organisation that champions the role gold plays as a strategic asset, shaping the future of a responsible and accessible gold supply chain.

Why are our history books mostly silent when it comes to the ancient mounds of America and the anomalous artifacts and enigmatic entities that were unearthed inside them? As the early American pioneers expanded westward, they would often happen upon giant earthen mounds constructed with an ancient knowledge and mathematics that had withstood the ages of time. From the 1800s through the early 1900s, major publications like the Smithsonian and the New York Times published countless articles related to the discovery of large skeletons and strange artifacts that were unearthed from these mounds. Even President Abraham Lincoln wrote about "that species of extinct giant, whose bones fill the mounds of America." Why has this fascinating history been suppressed? JOIN ME ON A 2026 TOUR

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Unearthed Secrets: A Journey Through Time in Zijincheng Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2025-12-02-23-34-02-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 冬天的清晨，紫禁城被一层淡淡的雾气笼罩。En: On a winter morning, the Zijincheng was shrouded in a light layer of mist.Zh: 漫步在宏伟的宫殿间，莲心中充满了好奇。En: As Lian strolled among the magnificent palaces, her heart was filled with curiosity.Zh: 莲是一名历史学的学生，特别迷恋古代文物。En: Lian is a student of history, particularly fascinated by ancient artifacts.Zh: 今天，她和考古学家明约在紫禁城的庭院中汇合。En: Today, she is meeting with archaeologist Mingyue in the courtyard of the Zijincheng.Zh: 对于莲来说，这是一场不同寻常的探险。En: For Lian, this is an extraordinary adventure.Zh: 几天前，他们偶然发现了一张神秘的地图。En: A few days ago, they accidentally discovered a mysterious map.Zh: 地图上描述了一个隐藏的宝物，据说就埋藏在紫禁城的某个角落。En: The map described a hidden treasure, supposedly buried in some corner of the Zijincheng.Zh: 莲兴奋地想要揭开这个秘密，她总觉得这个宝物能为她的身份寻根溯源。En: Lian was excited to uncover the secret, feeling that this treasure might trace the roots of her identity.Zh: 然而，明对此持怀疑态度，认为地图可能不可信，而且关于守护灵的传说更是无稽之谈。En: However, Ming was skeptical, believing the map might not be credible, and the legends of guardian spirits were nonsense.Zh: “可这地图是不完整的。”明拿着地图说。En: "But this map is incomplete," Ming said, holding the map.Zh: 他脸上露出几分担忧，“你不觉得这太冒险了吗？”En: His face showed a hint of worry, "Don't you think this is too risky?"Zh: 莲坚定地说：“我们必须试一试。也许这是一生一次的机会。”En: Lian replied firmly, "We must try. Perhaps this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."Zh: 于是，两人开始沿着地图上的指引前进。En: Thus, the two began to follow the directions on the map.Zh: 冷风吹拂，紫禁城的庭院中静得出奇，仿佛在等待着什么。En: The cold wind blew, and the courtyard of the Zijincheng was unusually quiet, as if waiting for something.Zh: 随着越往前，路径变得越来越难辨。En: As they progressed, the path became increasingly indistinct.Zh: 莲拉紧她的围巾，对明轻声说：“就快到了。”En: Lian tightened her scarf and softly said to Ming, "We're almost there."Zh: 沿途，他们开始感到一种难以名状的压力，就像被某种无形的力量监视。En: Along the way, they began to feel an indescribable pressure, as if being watched by some invisible force.Zh: 突然，空气中响起了奇异的声音，树叶无风自响。En: Suddenly, strange sounds filled the air, and the leaves rustled without wind.Zh: 莲和明心中都涌起了一阵恐惧。En: Both Lian and Ming felt a surge of fear.Zh: “也许传说是真的？”明不再那么坚定。En: "Perhaps the legends are true?" Ming was no longer so steadfast.Zh: 他开始有些动摇。En: He started to waver.Zh: 但莲没有放弃。En: But Lian did not give up.Zh: 她感受到使命感的驱动，继续朝前走。En: Driven by a sense of mission, she continued walking forward.Zh: 不远处，一扇隐蔽的门出现在她的视野中。En: Not far away, a concealed door appeared in her sight.Zh: 两人对视一眼，默契地走上前去，推开那扇看似普通的门。En: They exchanged a glance and stepped forward in unison, pushing open what seemed like an ordinary door.Zh: 他们进入了一个小小的密室，映入眼帘的不是宝物，而是一段刻在石板上的信息。En: They entered a small secret chamber, where they were greeted not by treasure but by an inscription on a stone slab.Zh: 文字简单，却充满力量：“遗产重于金银，守护胜于占有。”En: The words were simple yet powerful: "Legacy is weightier than gold and silver, protection surpasses possession."Zh: 虽然没有找到预期中的宝物，莲却从中领悟到了更深刻的道理。En: Although they did not find the treasure they anticipated, Lian gained a deeper understanding.Zh: 她转向明，微笑着说：“有些秘密是属于过去的，值得我们去保护，而非占有。”En: She turned to Ming and said with a smile, "Some secrets belong to the past and are worth protecting, not possessing."Zh: 明点头，同意地说道：“历史的分量在于保存，而不是探寻。En: Ming nodded in agreement and said, "The significance of history lies in preservation, not exploration.Zh: 我们都学到了宝贵的一课。”En: We have both learned a valuable lesson."Zh: 走出密室，雾气渐渐散去，阳光重新洒在紫禁城壮丽的屋檐上。En: As they walked out of the secret chamber, the mist gradually dissipated, and the sunlight once again shone on the magnificent eaves of the Zijincheng.Zh: 莲与明在这一刻都明白了，守护历史才是最珍贵的宝藏。En: At that moment, both Lian and Ming understood that safeguarding history is the most precious treasure.

Ancient Greek mythology tells of a daunting underground maze known as the labyrinth, which, according to legend, housed the fabled beast known as the minotaur. However, clues hidden in ancient writings through the centuries have suggested that there may be more to the tale than mere legend, and that there had in fact been more than one labyrinth that existed in the ancient world.  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, a remarkable new discovery in Crete has reinvigorated debate over the origins behind one of ancient Greece's most enduring legends, and it marks only the beginning of our search for answers to one of history's most enduring mysteries. Where were the locations of these massive underground complexes in antiquity, and could they indeed still exist into the present day?   Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

Two years ago this week I was in Manhattan covering the Vision Zero Cities conference hosted by the great nonprofit Transportation Alternatives. At a panel discussion titled, Supersized SUVs, Mega Trucks, and Regulatory Failure, one of the speakers made me sit up and take notice: He railed against feckless leadership that wouldn't improve bus service, critiqued the "war on cars," called for higher taxes on large vehicles that are more prone to kill people, and spoke about traffic victims and transportation policy with the candor, clarity and conviction you'd expect from an activist.But this wasn't an activist. It was an elected official. He was a member of the state assembly named Zohran Mamdani. Yes, the same Mamdani who might very well be New York City's next mayor in a few weeks.This audio from that 2023 conference is a detailed view inside Mamdani's mind and it reveals how he approaches what are still some the most important road safety and transportation topics of the day.Links:BikePortland recap of this panel discussionMamdani campaign websitePlease support this work!

There's a house in Hartford City, Indiana, that locals whisper about—but few dare to enter after dark. Known as the Monroe House, it's earned a reputation as one of the most haunted locations in the state, a place where strange voices echo through empty rooms and shadows seem to crawl just out of sight. For over seven years, Matt Benton and his team dug into the house's dark past—interviewing witnesses, capturing chilling evidence, and uncovering a discovery in the crawl space that feels pulled straight from a nightmare: ritualistic objects buried deep beneath the floor, as if the earth itself was trying to keep them hidden. Matt shares how seven years of relentless research and hundreds of hours of footage came together to tell the house's story—not just as a documentary, but as an immersive, dread-soaked experience designed to pull viewers inside the haunting itself.  This isn't just another ghost story. This is an invitation into one of America's most sinister hauntings—and a glimpse at what happens when something evil refuses to stay buried. Today on The Grave Talks, Evil Unearthed: The Monroe House, a conversation with Joe Vitale and Matt Benton. This is Part Two of our conversation.

Could a long-hidden miniature painting unlock the mystery of Shakespeare's most intimate poetry? Unearthed after 400 years in a private collection, a portrait depicts a strikingly androgynous youth—jewelled and enigmatic. But this is no ordinary likeness. Concealed within its layers lies a coded message of love, betrayal, and secrecy. Could it depict Henry Wriothesley, the 3rd Earl of Southampton, Shakespeare's patron and perhaps the true “Mr. W.H.” of his most homo-erotic sonnets? In this thrilling episode, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Elizabeth Goldring and Emma Rutherford to reveal a breathtaking find that could rewrite literary history.MORE:A Tudor Mystery: The Girl who Could be Queenhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/7ah4FWEOjfcDKCK9QVFmVEElizabeth I's Favourite Painter: Hilliardhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/0Ozixx69Vx10DncZhgGYXtPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Behind the doors of an isolated farmhouse on the outskirts of Plainfield, Wisconsin, a trove of macabre secrets were stashed out of sight of the locals that blurred the line between reality and nightmare. Unearthed in 1957, the world of quiet, shy farmer, Edward Theodore Gein, revealed a bizarre story of grave robbing, body parts fashioned into household items, and a fascination with death that was almost unparalleled in its depravity. A psychiatrist's examination stated plainly that, “The overall picture was not that of a well person,” which was, perhaps, one of the greatest understatements in medical and criminal history.SOURCES Schechter, Harold (1998) Deviant: The Shocking True Story of Ed Gein, Original Psycho.
