Podcasts about Vlad the Impaler

We've all been having the best time revisiting different failures within the Dark Universe. This week it's Dracula Untold, a thinly veiled attempt to turn Dracula into a comic book action hero. Which is weird because Dracula already exists in both the Marvel and DC Universes. Anyhoo Luke Evans stars as Vlad The Impaler, a kind and gentle family man who just wants to forget the time he literally impalled 1000 people. BUT THEN an man from his past returns to get all the boys and Vlad's like "NO WAY" and he turns into a Dracula. Other things happen but that's the main thrust of it.

In an era dominated by sluggers putting up prodigious video game power-numbers, Vladimir Guerrero becomes one of the game's most electrifying players, in defiance of the baseball Gods with his five-tool arsenal of hitting for average, power, baserunning insticts, defense and the intercontinetal ballistic missile, he had for a right arm. His unlikely rise to baseball immortality begins in abject poverty in the Dominican Republic, as a fifth grade dropout, playing baseball in his barefeet on the dusty Dominican sandlots, and drinking rain water from the puddles in the Nizao Bani streets. His batting style was unconventional; See the ball, hit the ball, as hard as humanly possible, as he would swing at virtually any pitch offerred up to him, becoming one of the best bad ball hitters the game has ever seen. He was throwback to a different era of ballplayer, when batting gloves were shunned and pine tar covering the bat and helmet was a badge of honor. This week we follow his incredible baseball journey. #VladimirGuerrero #NizaoBani #DominicanRepublic #WiltonGuerrero #FredFerreira #MontrealExpos #FelipeAlou #PedroMartinez #AnaheimAngels #TexasRangers #BaltimoreOrioles

Explore the captivating story of the Romanian revolution of 1989, a pivotal moment shaped by the country's rich history of resisting and embracing external influences. This intricate tapestry of events traces back to the second century AD when the Roman Emperor Trajan conquered the region, leaving an indelible mark in the form of plundered gold. Subsequent waves of invaders, including Goths, Huns, Bulgars, Magyars, and Ottomans, were met with fierce resistance, led by legendary figures like Vlad The Impaler. Each conqueror left behind a lasting legacy, contributing to Romania's unique heterogeneity in a region dominated by homogeneity. While neighboring Slavic countries followed certain paths, Romania charted its own course, embracing Orthodox Christianity while adopting the Latin alphabet. As a result, Romanian stands as the language most closely linked to modern Italian, setting it apart from the predominantly Slavic, Turkic, or Greek languages spoken in the Balkan nations. Join us in this episode as we unravel the complex historical threads that culminated in the Romanian revolution of 1989, shedding light on a nation's enduring spirit of resistance and its quest for a distinct identity.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 355 - Vlad the Impaler, Part TwoIn the previous episode, I talked excusively about the historical figure - Vlad the Impaler.  But in this episode, I want to introduce a literary figure - Dracula - who is often confused with that historical figure - Vlad the Impaler.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 328 - Vlad the Impaler, Part OneVlad the Impaler was a 15th-century ruler of Wallachia, a historical region in modern-day Romania. His life and reign were marked by political intrigue, military campaigns, and extreme cruelty, earning him a fearsome reputation that persists to this day. Vlad's legacy is deeply tied to his brutal methods of punishment, particularly impalement, which has made him both a national hero in Romania and he is said to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker's fictional vampire, Count Dracula.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

This week Aaron explores the life, legend and legacy of Vlad Dracula III and the boys explore to what extent the 15th century ruler of Wallachia influenced Bram Stoker's novel! Vlad cuts an equally chilling figure as a daring, sadistic, brutal ruler and military leader - with a flare for unfathomably macabre spectacle!

This week we are rebroadcasting our episode on Count Dracula! The Nosferatu craze has gotten ahold of us too.  Enjoy! -----------  There is much about the myth of the vampire that science will never understand.

This week we explore the origins of most famous and enduring vampire of all time: Count Dracula. If you're thinking this will be a whole episode on Vlad The Impaler, think again. There is so much more to the iconic count than one Transylvanian tyrant with a pointy nose.  Click to learn more     WWBD Merch Buy your WWBD swag here!  Join the Conversation

A figure of mythic proportions during his lifetime, Vlad the Impaler's notoriety receded over the centuries only to be resurrected in the 1970s, when a pair of Boston University scholars went public with theories connecting him to Bram Stoker's Count Dracula. We begin with snippet of Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film, Bram Stoker's Dracula, the … Read More Read More The post Vlad the Impaler appeared first on Bone and Sickle.

Vlad the Impaler is one of history's most terrifying villains. A leader who used torture, terrorism, and sadistic punishment to retain his grip on power. Though he was considered a folk hero by some in his homeland, for many, he's the inspiration behind the most spine-chilling tale of all time: Bram Stoker's Dracula. But what sparked Vlad's bloodthirsty obsession? How did he come to give his name - Dracul - to a vampire? And when it comes to medieval violence and tyranny, how did Vlad the Impaler keep raising the stakes? This is a Short History Of Vlad the Impaler. A Noiser production. Written by Jo Furniss.

The kingdom of Wallachia was the home to warlords, brutality, and the reign of Islamic terror. One man rose from Turkish captivity to save his people, and would as a result become one of the most fascinating—and brutal—leaders in Christendom. His name was Vlad Tepes, but he was best known as Vlad Dracul or, more ominously, Vlad the Impaler. In the late 1800s, Bram Stoker found documents about Vlad's brutal methods and in turn wrote the famous novel, Dracula. He told of a blood sucking vampire who could never die. But how do we separate the myth of Dracula from the real man, Vlad Tepes, who was no doubt brutal but was also known as a defender of the West?In this episode, we talk about Vlad, the true story behind the man, and the vicious propaganda campaign waged against him. We also relate it to bitter disputes within Christian circles today, and why it's so important to unite around our common faith rather than divide ourselves into petty factions.Be sure to sign up at the King's Hall Patreon to get exclusive access to interviews with historians like Glenn Sunshine and to access the Deus Vault, a Patreon-exclusive podcast that goes deeper into the histories, mysteries, and heroes of Christendom.Visit Full Stadium Marketing to find your next marketing partner, aligning with your values and providing tools to grow your business all to the glory of God.Get 10% off your next order at Reformation Heritage Books with the code, "KINGSHALL."Alpine Gold Exchange Website: alpinegoldogden.comSet Up a Meeting: https://calendly.com/alpinegold/alpine-gold-consultation10 Ways to Make Money with Your MAXX-D Trailer.Buy your beef or pork box today from Salt and Strings Butchery.Talk to Joe Garrisi about managing your wealth with Backwards Planning Financial.Squirrelly Joe's Coffee.

Have you ever heard of "clinical vampirism," more commonly known today as Renfield's Syndrome? One review of psychiatric literature claims that over 50,000 people addicted to drinking blood have appeared in case studies from 1892 to 2010.

While Rubin and Josh get settled in their new digs, we take a week off from recording. So in it's place, we are replaying what is to date our most popular episode. Vlad the Impaler featuring our good friend, Mark Cameron.

This medieval bad boy earned his nickname by impaling his opps, often bootyhole first. In addition to all the impaling, he boiled his detractors alive, set beggars on fire, and nailed turbans to the heads of those who refused to remove them in his company. Also, just want to add this because I forgot to mention it during the podcast, but Vlad dined amongst the impaled. Bummed I forgot this because eating mozzarella sticks surrounded by enemies with poles up their butts has always been a dream of mine.

That's right, dear listeners, you recognize that name. We're headed back in time to the no longer existing country of Wallachia to talk about the inspiration for one of the greatest and most classic of the horror monsters.

On the night of November 25th, 1996, Rick Wendorf, 49, and his partner Ruth Queen, 54, were beaten to death with a crowbar inside their home in Eustis, Florida, by a vampire over 500 years old known as Vesago. At least that's what their killer believed. "Vesago" was really Rod Ferrell, a sixteen year-old from Murray, Kentucky, who lost himself in a vampiric role playing game, and truly thought he'd become an immortal bloodsucker. Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Tj4P-thTEdcMerch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?

We all know of Dracula, both the myth and the real man… Whether it be movies about a vampire or books about the historic Vlad The Impaler. But few know about his younger brother Radu. Who had an interesting life of his own. A man who fought with and slept with Sultans, waged war against multiple kingdoms and sat on the same throne multiple times. In this episode we dive into the life of Radu whose life could be a Shakespearean play or new game of thrones novel.

Ben and Pat are joined on a special Halloween episode by Tani Caesar (Unhinged History) to talk about a couple of infamous (and spoooooky) Eastern European nobles -- Elizabeth Bathory, the terrifying Blood Countess of Hungary, and th equally-notorious Vlad III of Wallachia, better known outside of his native Romania as Vlad the Impaler (or, if you prefer, Vlad Dracula). This one is going to be gruesome and unhinged, but luckily we'll have Tani here to help us get through it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a Text Message.Picture a vampire. Yeah, you're picturing Dracula. That's Dracula. I mean unless you're a Twilight fan, then maybe you're picturing Robert Pattinson's fine self. But no, chances are you're picturing the title character from Bram Stoker's 1897 novel “Dracula” about a vampire named Count Dracula who moves from Transylvania to England in search of new victims of his undead curse. This character, who basically invented the genre of vampires in fiction, was loosely based on, at least named after, a 15th century Romanian prince named Vlad III AKA Vlad the Impaler AKA Vlad Dracula. But did you know, besides the name and the fact that they were both savage, blood-thirsty killers, Vlad Dracula and Count Dracula don't really have all that much in common? Let's fix that. Sources: National Geographic "Vlad the Impaler's thirst for blood was an inspiration for Count Dracula" by Juan Jose Sanchez ArreseigorArs Technica "Scientists find evidence that Vlad the Impaler shed bloody tears" by Jennifer OueletteACS Publications "Count Dracula Resurrected: Proteomic Analysis of Vlad III the Impaler's Documents by EVA Technology and Mass Spectrometry"Time Magazine "Bram Stoker Claimed that Parts of Dracula Were Real.

We've made the executive decision to start Spooky Season early on EBC, because let's face it, it's always Spooky Season around here! We're kicking things off by getting down and dirty with one of Halloween's OG monsters : the vampire! He's hungry for blood, shape shifting on the reg and can't help but count grains of rice...? There's a lot we don't know about these creatures of the night, and we're going to dig into it all. We'll draw inspiration from vampiric queens like Sekhmet and Lilith, and unearth bloody tales from around the globe. The strigoi from Romania, adze from Africa and nukekubi from Japan are sure to turn heads (and maybe even fly away with them!) Of course we'll get into Bram Stoker's Dracula and uncover the blood thirsty tyrant who inspired it all : Vlad the Impaler, aka Daddy Vladdy. Who knows what horrors await us in year's first Halloween episode. Hold on tight, Spider Monkey! You're in for a real treat. Happy Haunting! 

Vlad the Impaler left his mark on the world with the horrific acts he committed on people during the Middle Ages. The ruthless ruler was responsible for the deaths of thousands via torturous methods such as impalement. His bloodlust may have even helped to inspire Bram Stoker's own monster, Dracula.

Vampire lore goes back to the ancient world (revenant legends abound from Rome to China) but vampire mythology doesn't come into its own until at least the Renaissance period. Was the inspiration for it all the bloodthirsty Wallachian ruler Vlad Tepes, the ruler who impaled tens of thousands in the 1400s? Was he the direct inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula? Partially yes, but it's not as clear cut as most think. In this episode we will sink our fangs into vampire lore, the reign of Vlad Tepes, and where Bram Stoker got his ideas for his most famous novel.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3101278/advertisement
