This holiday season, we're reviving a spooky Victorian tradition: ghost stories by the fire! Ever wonder why scary tales were part of the holly-jolly festivities? In this episode, we dive into the history of Victorian Christmas ghost stories, from the influence of Queen Victoria to the rise of printed tales like Charles Dickens' iconic A Christmas Carol.We also explore how America embraced a sweeter, less spooky holiday tradition and sidelined ghostly encounters to Halloween. But why not bring some eerie fun back to Christmas?

The article explores Victorian Christmas food traditions through three recipes that reflect the era's culinary practices: Turkey Soup: Derived from Isabella Beeton's The Book of Household Management (1861), this recipe used leftover turkey bones to create a rich, flavored soup, showcasing the use of branded ingredients like Harvey's Sauce. It highlights both resourcefulness and historical food influences. Roast Goose: A recipe from Bow Bells (1893) details a traditional roast goose, a popular alternative to turkey in Scotland and northern England. Instructions were less structured, relying on cooks' intuition and familiarity with techniques like scalding and basting. Cottage Christmas Pudding: From Eliza Acton's Modern Cookery (1845), this pudding included mashed potatoes to bulk up the recipe, reflecting rural or working-class adaptations. It combined affordable staples with luxurious ingredients like spices and dried fruits, emphasizing the festive desire for indulgence.

In this festive conversation, Laura and Melinda are joined by author Lucinda Dickens Hawksley, Dickens' great, great, great granddaughter to explore the profound influence of Charles Dickens on Christmas traditions, dreaming and the cultural significance of his work, particularly 'A Christmas Carol.'    They delve into Dickens' complex relationship with sleep and dreams, which is often explored in his novels with their themes of redemption and social responsibility, and his bizarre sleeping habits. Dickens suffered from parasomnias – sleeping disorders like hallucinations and nightmares, which are the hallmark feature of ‘A Christmas Carol' when the ghost of Marley terrorises his business partner Ebenezer Scrooge in his sleep on Christmas Eve, with dramatic consequences.   Lucinda, biographer and Victorian historian, shares insights into Victorian Christmas celebrations and personal traditions, emphasizing the importance of connection and joy during the holiday season. They discuss the enduring legacy of Dickens' storytelling and its relevance in today's world and Lucinda's new book, ‘A Victorian Christmas' as well as her earlier book ‘Dickens and Christmas'.   Your dreams are worth inquiring about too!

This episode marks the 3rd birthday of Charles Dickens: A Brain on Fire!

We're releasing this episode (our Season 1 finale) on a Sunday rather than the regular Tuesday, for a very good reason indeed: 1st December 2024 is the 57th anniversary of the amazing Jimi Hendrix performing in the Central Theatre, Chatham, another milestone in the long, rich history of Medway's music scene.The Hendrix Experience were headlining a package tour of seven bands - the kind of tour that was very popular in the US in the 1950s, but quite unusual in the UK by the late 60s. Second on the bill were Pink Floyd, who'd only just released their first album. So we went to talk to Nick Mason, the Floyd drummer, about his memories of being on the tour with Jimi. In his wry, understated way, he gives us a real insight to what it meant to him musically and personally.We also talk to John Campbell, the lead guitarist and singer in Europe's best Hendrix tribute band, Are You Experienced?, about channelling Hendrix for audiences in the 2020s. And illustrator and typographer Will Hill tells us about going - aged 12 - to his first-ever gig: Jimi Hendrix in Washington DC in August 1967, only a few months before he came to Chatham…Finally, Phil chats to Rob about the times he got to play piano with both the then surviving members of the Hendrix Experience - bassist Noel Redding in County Cork, and drummer Mitch Mitchell in the Hard Rock Café on Piccadilly.And we've added a Christmas bonus: a teaser for Series 2 with Lucinda Dickens Hawksley, the great-great-great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens.Thanks for listening - and a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!!With thanks to John Campbell from Are You Experienced?

Just about every town in America has a tree lighting event, walk-through light display or downtown shopping night for the holidays, but a few spots like to do something a little extra. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we look at the Pacific Northwest holiday events that might be worth traveling to, from busy winter festivals to visits from Krampus. There's something delightful about small towns going all out for the holidays, one-upping each other for the biggest, best and busiest events –and offering Northwest travelers a window into local holiday traditions. Here are some highlights from this week's show: Why you should check out Leavenworth's Christmastown, even though it will be a scene. The best light display in Oregon? It might be at a state park on the coast. Get a taste of Victorian Christmas pageantry in this southern Oregon destination. A small town in Washington has a delightfully creepy Krampus tradition.

It's that time of year again my little Christmas angels!   We jump back in to the time when ghost stories were a "Christmas Only" kind of thing.  The nights were dark, the houses cold and full of shadows and at a rare time of year when the family was together and not working for just one day of the year, there was nothing better than to get the magazines and find the newest and scariest ghost stories in the style of Charles Dickens, at least that's what you did in the 1860's.  Join us as we hear two terrifying tales of ghosts, loss, treasure and mayhem that occurred at Christmas's long past, the authors long dead, but their words live on to hold the tradition of making Christmas bright, by making it just a little bit more spooky.  Merry Christmas or any other winter festival of your choice and we will see you for the start of Season Four of Ghosts 'N Bears when we come back in February after our break.

550. Part 1 of our conversation with Shane K. Barnard about his research into Tabasco Sauce and Bayou Teche. Holding a Ph.D. in history, Bernard has served as historian and curator to McIlhenny Company for over twenty-five years. He is the author of Tabasco: An Illustrated History and several books about Cajun and Creole history. "Teche: A History of Louisiana's Most Famous Bayou. Recipient of a 2017 Book of the Year Award presented by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. Shane K. Bernard's Teche examines this legendary waterway of the American Deep South. Bernard delves into the bayou's geologic formation as a vestige of the Mississippi and Red Rivers, its prehistoric Native American occupation, and its colonial settlement by French, Spanish, and, eventually, Anglo-American pioneers. He surveys the coming of indigo, cotton, and sugar; steam-powered sugar mills and riverboats; and the brutal institution of slavery. He also examines the impact of the Civil War on the Teche, depicting the running battles up and down the bayou and the sporadic gunboat duels, when ironclads clashed in the narrow confines of the dark, sluggish river" (Google Books).

Bonnie Hayes is the Director for Tourism Development for the City of Thomasville, a position she has held for seven years and thoroughly enjoys. Before working for the City, Bonnie was teaching Video Broadcast in the Thomasville School System as well as being the on-air host of Thomasville Today, a local event-focused TV program. Many people recognize her from the TV program or remember her holding puppies and other animals in her pet store, Pet Stop, which she opened when she arrived in Thomasville. A graduate of Florida State University, Bonnie is originally from the Florida panhandle but has called Thomasville home for over 25 years. When she has time, she works in her yard, takes care of her many pets, or travels with her husband and college-age twins. Debra Smith is a retired teacher who taught in the Thomasville School System for 30 years. She retired at age 51, and after growing bored sitting at home, she knew she needed to do something. Debra decided to investigate food tours, and she went to Food Tour Pros in Chicago to learn how to do food tours. Her first tour was on March 24, 2013. As of today, Debra has hosted 1469 tours and 11800+ guests. Her company was named Small Business of the Year in 2018 and GA CVCB Travel Trail Blazers in 2022. Debra gives credit to her wonderful guides, who she couldn't do this business without, and she notes that she has the best team! On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Bonnie Hayes and Debra Smith about the power of collaboration between a tourism office and a local tour operator. We discuss the partnership between their two organizations, how they support each other, and how this collaboration led to an elevated visitor experience. What You Will Learn in this Episode: How the partnership between Taste of Thomasville and the Visitors Centre has evolved The process of shaping the food tour into an authentic tourist experience Why Bonnie nominated Debra for the Trailblazer Award Debra's lessons learned from ten years in the travel and tourism business The importance of being visible and asking questions How Debra built her partnerships with local restaurants and why personal connection was so important in building those relationships Upcoming events and festivals happening in Thomasville The Value of Personal Connection In the world of tourism, personal connections, collaborations, and partnerships are key to success. This is especially true for the tour industry, where visitors are looking for a unique and memorable experience. Debra, who has been running her Taste of Thomasville tour for ten years, understands this better than anyone. Bonnie Hayes, Director for Tourism Development for the City of Thomasville, also shares more about how her organization created a collaboration with Debra and how their partnership has evolved over the years. An Innovative Tourism Experience Debra and Bonnie have continued to shape the restaurant tour into a tourism product that appeals to a range of visitors. This meant creating not only a daytime tour on weekends but also an evening tour where guests could have drinks in a range of fun establishments. But their creativity didn't stop there. When large groups come into town for events like the Victorian Christmas festival, Debra also curates specific experiences to entertain visitors during the day. For her outstanding contributions to the tourism industry, Debra won the Trailblazer Award, which celebrates individuals who have significantly impacted the travel industry and helped shape how we experience new places. Debra's dedication and creativity have undoubtedly earned her this recognition. The Future for Taste of Thomasville As the popularity of the food tour in Thomasville continues to grow, there are always new ideas and possibilities for expanding the experience. One such idea that has been on the mind of Debra and Bonnie is to incorporate more of the town's art district, also known as the “bottom,” into the tour. This area has some great restaurants currently not included in the tour's walking path, so the hope is to eventually create a third tour called “Breakfast on the Bottom,” which would showcase these establishments. In addition to expanding the tour for adults, there are plans to continue offering tours geared toward children and high school students. The children's tour has become particularly popular, with many elementary and middle schools taking field trips to participate. Meanwhile, the culinary tour for high school students allows them to learn from the owners and managers of local restaurants and get a behind-the-scenes look at the culinary industry.

Everyone knows A Christmas Carol...Why were the Victorians so obsessed with telling ghost stories at Christmas? And why did the tradition never really catch on in the United States?FacebookInstagram

In the early 1800s Christmas was not the festive holiday it is today. Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens helped change that. In fact, through Victoria's influence on popular culture and Dickens' literary reach, these two important figures helped create and spread many of the holiday traditions that we still follow today. In this special holiday episode, Candy and Ashley (along with their husbands, Kirk and Brian) celebrate the Victorian Christmas, often referred to as the Dickens Christmas, with a field trip to the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum in Louisville, Kentucky.  Join the two couples as they share their reactions to a candlelight tour of this stunning historic home, including fascinating insights shared by tour guides and the director of the Conrad-Caldwell House.

497. We interview Ashley Oliphant and Beth Yarbrough about the book they wrote, Jean Laffite Revealed: Unraveling One of America's Longest-Running Mysteries. The book "takes a fresh look at the various myths and legends surrounding one of the last great pirates. Beginning in 1805, the book traces Laffite through his rise to power as a privateer and smuggler in the Gulf, his involvement in the Battle of New Orleans, his flight to Texas, and his eventual disappearance in the waters of the Caribbean. With stunning revelations, this book picks up the trail from there—a trail that no one knew existed until now. This carefully researched work is a bona fide wild ride that will silence long-held speculation about Laffite's ultimate fate" (ULL Press).This week in Louisiana history.

To raise the money to re-publish a new, updated edition of My Awakening, David Duke instigated a 21-day fundraising drive on November 26, 2007 where he had to raise "$25,344 by a December 17 deadline for the printers." Duke stated that this drive was necessary because the work "has become the most important book in the entire world in the effort to awaken our people for our heritage and freedom."
