In the distance he sees a tall building that looks as though it is made of green porcelain, but instead of heading to this new discovery, he heads into one of the Morlock wells. It takes him a long time to climb down the 200 yard deep well, and he nearly falls, being nearly too heavy for the climbing hooks to hold. He finds a small tunnel where he rests before being awakened by a Morlock touching him. He quickly lights a match, causing the creature to flee, and he makes his way through the tunnel into a large cave. He sees some huge machines lining the walls and a light metal table with some White coloured meat laying on it. His matches are running low, and the creatures are getting more confident around him and he decides that it is a good idea to flee before they swarm him. Exhausting all of his matches, he only narrowly escapes the Morlock's clutches. SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, sees a Victorian scientist send himself forward to the year 802,701 AD. He is delighted to find that suffering has been replaces by beauty and happiness, and a "new man", the Eloi, has descended from man. Science Fiction book, Sci-fi, Classic Literature

Stigbergets teamed up with The Kernel to create a traditional English porter. Taking inspiration from an 1800's London Porter recipe, Victorian Porter is a roasted delight. We follow that up with a big imperial stout from Nogne. Also inspired by Victorian times, Ship-Shape and Briston Fashion is a reference to the condition of the ship.

    Here's something we love: Hunter Hammersen's "quiet, everyday magic that's easy to overlook. But it's magic nonetheless." She is talking about her "Noteworthy" pattern for a little pouch that looks like a piece of paper because "paper is magic, and the right piece of paper can change the world." When Bootie knit this little gem, it brought her "a bit of happy distraction," and while that did not change the world, it did just what Hammersen promised: it made the world "a tiny bit more comfortable, for just one person, for just a moment. And that's a kind of magic too." This is the power of knitting to take us out of the present and into a timeless moment of making. Hammersen is right--look at the world through the frame of quiet, everyday magic, and you'll find all kinds of magic. And here's a bit of culinary magic: Strawberry Shortcake with a Lemon Curd Cream--an upgrade on the old family favorite that you just have to try.We also found some magic in Anne Macdonald's account of women knitting in the 19th Century in No Idle Hands: The Social History of American Knitting. While we tend not to think of the Victorian era as particularly "sporty," this was when women started riding bicycles, playing tennis, golf and croquet; they were literally moving more and their clothing had to change to keep up. So they ditched their shawls, corsets and hoopskirts for sweaters and bloomers. Some regarded these new fashions as "ugly and eccentric," but thankfully, they persevered. The specter of a woman knitting was an assurance of womanliness that Mrs. Clorinda Nichols appropriated as she "tended strictly to her knitting" while she "duped male legislators into underestimating her crusade for more liberal property rights for women" at Kansas's first state constitutional convention (p. 143). Brilliant. But in the midst of all this moving and change, many women still found in knitting the space for creative transformation, as author Jane Croly expressed it:"The little work-tables of women's fingers, are the playgrounds of women's fancies, and their knitting needles are the fairy-wands by which they transform a whole room into a spirit isle of dreams."Jane Croly on her "view of knitting serenity," quoted in Anne L. Macdonald, No Idle Hands: The Social History of American Knitting, p. 142.So we hope we offer a little bit of quiet, everyday magic in this episode--it's not changing the world, we know, but if it makes you smile just once, or provides a bit of happy distraction, well, that's the kind of magic we aim to make.

    A thrilling, cinematic saga of a Southern belle whose espionage for Abraham Lincoln and the Union helped win the Civil War.Wealthy Southern belle Elizabeth Van Lew had it all. Money, charm, wit—the biggest mansion in Richmond. So why risk everything to become the Civil War's most productive Union spy?The answer was simple: freedom. In this gripping history of a secret espionage genius, Gerri Willis reveals how Elizabeth built a flourishing spy network in the heart of the Confederate Capitol. Flouting society's expectations for women, Elizabeth infiltrated prisons, defied public opinion, and recruited an underground movement of freed slaves, secret Unionists, and brave captives.Putting her straitlaced Victorian past behind her, Elizabeth encountered vivid characters—assassins, socialites, escape artists, and cross-dressing spies. From grave robbery to a bold voyage across enemy lines, her escapades grew more and more daring. It paid off. Her agents were so well-placed that she had spies gathering information in both the Confederate War Department and the Richmond White House, and couriers providing General Ulysses S. Grant with crucial, daily intelligence for the war's final assault.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Maxey questions Trump's tepid responses to border chaos, the fentanyl war, and the continued disappearance of over 350,000 migrant children trafficked under Biden's regime. The conversation uncovers explosive truths about NGO complicity, cartel influence under Mexico's new radical president Claudia Sheinbaum, and the growing grassroots revolt against D.C.'s blind loyalty to Israel.

    Intown Living, Peak Convenience

    Imagine the convenience of grabbing dinner as you walk home from work or powering through the afternoon slump with a stroll around the park. When you live intown, those dreams can be your everyday reality! Derek Turner, owner and president of The Middle Housing Company, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss intown living and his new community, Knight Walk at Howell Station in West Midtown. Intown Living: Connection and Convenience Turner said, “Intown living is increasingly appealing because it offers a lifestyle that's built around convenience and connection.” The idea of walkable living is a major draw for many homebuyers and renters moving to the city. Mixed-use developments are popping up all over the metro area, bringing together restaurants, office spaces, shopping and residential opportunities. Intown living offers this same convenience for residents to walk to work, live near cultural venues and save time in their daily routines. Balancing Affordability in An Urban Climate Turner says creative design is the key to building affordable homes in the city. He starts with a smaller footprint that allows for higher-density housing and a lower cost per unit. Turner emphasizes that, while infrastructure and land costs remain high intown, the demand for walkable living makes it desirable to build there. Which homebuyers are gravitating toward the intown lifestyle? Turner identifies dual-income, millennial couples and higher-earning, single professionals as major buying groups for intown communities. These buyers seek a shorter commute to the city, especially when one or both residents work intown. While the monthly payments are relatively pricey, the savings on gas and time often override the cost. Knight Walk at Howell Station The Middle Housing Company recently opened for sales at its new, intown community, Knight Walk at Howell Station. Located in one of northwest Atlanta's historic neighborhoods, this community is nestled near Westside Paper and the Atlanta Beltline-connected Spur Trail. Knight Park, a historical greenspace, is just minutes from the community. Howell Station is long-renowned for its mixed architectural styles, including bungalows, craftsman-style, Victorian and Colonial revival residences. During the 1800s, it was developed around the Western Atlantic Railroad stop in Atlanta and still displays its industrial roots. “We drew from that architecture,” said Turner. “The brick, the concrete board, the darker palette, some of those industrial tones,” said Turner. “We want it to feel authentic to the neighborhood.” What can homebuyers expect to see at Knight Walk at Howell Station? Every home is an end unit! Instead of building traditional townhomes with four, six or eight units in a row, Turner opted for building townhomes in sets of two residences to maximize natural light and provide ample outdoor living. Each home is 1,400 square feet and boasts 14 windows, creating an open, inviting living space. Residents also enjoy 8-foot-deep covered porches that allow maximum outdoor living with plenty of space for outdoor furniture. “We made zero concessions when it comes to natural light,” said Turner. “It's an amenity here.” Community Influence on Smart Housing Solutions With innovation, discussion and pushback often occur. Turner points out that he appreciates collaboration because it holds him accountable and encourages conversations. When The Middle Housing Company is working to remedy zoning issues or trying to get a project approved by local officials, it approaches those concerns with flexibility and a willingness to meet conditions effectively.

    In 1818, a curious root arrived in a small English village, tucked—seemingly by accident—in a packing case mailed from Brazil. The amateur botanist who cultivated it soon realized that he had something remarkable on his hands: an exceptionally rare orchid never before seen on British shores. It arrived just as “orchid mania” was sweeping across Europe and North America, driving a vast plant trade that catered to wealthy private patrons as well as the fast-growing middle classes eager to display exotic flowers at home. Dubbed Cattleya labiata, the striking purple-and-crimson bloom quickly became one of the most coveted flowers on both continents. As tales of the flower's beauty spread through scientific journals and the popular press, orchid dealers and enthusiasts initiated a massive search to recover it in its natural habitat. In The Lost Orchid: A Story of Victorian Plunder and Obsession (Harvard University Press, 2025) Dr. Sarah Bilston illuminates the story of this international quest, introducing the collectors and nurserymen who funded expeditions, the working-class plant hunters who set out to find the flower, the South American laborers and specialists with whom they contracted, the botanists who used the latest science to study orchids in all their varieties, and the writers and artists who established the near-mythic status of the “lost orchid.” The dark side of this global frenzy was the social and environmental harm it wrought, damaging fragile ecologies on which both humans and plants depended. Following the human ambitions and dramas that drove an international obsession, The Lost Orchid is a story of consumer desire, scientific curiosity, and the devastating power of colonial overreach. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

    Ghosts aren't just relics of Victorian fiction—Dr. Kate Cherrell reveals how 19th-century spiritualists shaped the ghost-hunting traditions we still follow today. With a PhD in female mediumship and a lifelong fascination with the paranormal, Kate shares both her scholarly insights and personal experiences, from haunted homes to unsettling physical encounters. She explains how Victorian séances ranged from refined tea-time table-tipping to wild, theatrical performances involving everything from spirit gifts to (allegedly) teleporting mediums. If you thought modern ghost hunting was dramatic, wait until you hear about the woman who "materialized" on a séance table as a surprise gift. Jim and Dr. Cherrell also dive into how modern paranormal investigations differ—and eerily resemble—those of the past. They explore consciousness as a ghost-hunting tool, tales of time slips in Liverpool, and why ghosts may not be just spirits of the dead but something much stranger. You'll also hear about Kate's eerie run-in with a very hands-on spirit and how those experiences inspired her gothic novel Begotten. Whether you're into psychic history, hands-on investigation tips, or jaw-dropping séance stories, this episode will leave you questioning the very nature of reality.

    Love and Death: 'In Memoriam' by Tennyson

    Tennyson described 'In Memoriam' as ‘rather the cry of the whole human race than mine', and the poem achieved widespread acclaim as soon as it was published in 1850, cited by Queen Victoria as her habitual reading after the death of Prince Albert. Its subject is the death in 1833 of Tennyson's friend Arthur Hallam at the age of 22, and in its 131 sections it explores the possibilities of elegy more extensively than any English poem before it, not least in its innovative, incantatory rhyme scheme, intended to numb the pain of grief. From its repeated dramatisations of the experience of private loss, 'In Memoriam' opens out to reflect on the intellectual turmoil running through Victorian society amid monumental advances in scientific thought. In this episode, Seamus and Mark discuss the unique emotional power of Tennyson's style, and why his great elegy came to represent what mourning, and poetry, should be in the public imagination of his time.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

    Greg Jenner is joined in medieval Europe by Dr Mary Bateman and comedian Mike Wozniak to learn all about the legends of King Arthur.Most of us have heard of Arthur, Guinevere, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table. But where do these legends come from? Arthur first appears in the writings of a 9th-Century monk, but he's not the king we know today: no Merlin or Lancelot, no Excalibur, and no Camelot. These elements were added later, as the legends were retold and rewritten across Europe.This episode traces the stories of Arthur and his knights from their early medieval origins, exploring the changes made as they were adapted over the centuries by everyone from French romance authors to Victorian poets, and taking in some famous medieval texts, including the Welsh Mabinogion and Malory's Morte d'Arthur, as well as some lesser-known tales. Along the way, we also look at the places in modern Britain that still bear Arthurian names and the wacky artefacts that have been associated with the legendary king, and ask the crucial question: did King Arthur really exist?This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

    In 1965, three hard-nosed stockmen camped beside Western Australia's remote Goldfields Pipeline. At dawn, they heard cheerful whistling and watched, stunned, as an elderly man in a Victorian suit and top hat strolled the pipeline like a catwalk, never acknowledging their greeting before melting into the desert. Years later, a granddaughter learns the pipeline's designer, Charles Yelverton O'Connor, died by suicide before its completion, and was often photographed in that exact attire. Was the whistler a desert mirage or O'Connor himself, still guarding the steel lifeline he died to create?  If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!

    Sleepovers are awkward—lumpy couches, cold pizza, and no sleep. But when three curious teens bring their DIY ghost-hunting kit to friend Lee's house, awkward turns terrifying. Crackling EVPs and a drifting orb give way to an out-of-body chase through a basement that seems to stretch for miles, pursued by a red-eyed shadow leaking black smoke. A silent Victorian boy and his stern grandfather try to keep the evil caged behind a locked utility-room door—until the door explodes open. The fallout? Broken friendships, a family in chaos, and a tragedy no one saw coming. Was it teen imagination, or did something real—and hungry—slip free that night?
