Host Matt Trump continues his "summer abroad" as the self-described Rick Steves of Badlands, picking up the walking tour right where last week's City of London stroll left off. After recapping how a "digital" City of London projects financial power through shipping, insurance, and choke points, he leads you south from Bank Station down King William Street, past the Monument to the Great Fire, the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers, and a glimpse of the Shard and Tower Bridge, all the way to the famously plain London Bridge itself. The payoff is his central thesis: the bridge, not the architecture, is what matters. London began as Roman Londinium, a military garrison built to guard the crossing, which he frames as the birthplace of foreign domination over Britain and a lineage of concentrated power stretching to today. Expect history, geopolitics, wry asides, the three-city model, and a promise to tackle the Normans next week.

D is for Delon, Alain Delon. Author Edward Chisholm is back on the podcast, this time talking about his new book Murder in Paris '68. We recorded this one on location - sitting on the quai by the Seine, directly beneath the Quai des Orfèvres, the famous Paris police headquarters that has watched over the city's darkest crimes for centuries. Fitting, then, that we were there to talk about one of France's most explosive unsolved murders. In 1968, a body was discovered on the outskirts of Paris and identified as Stevan Marković, the former bodyguard and close associate of the enigmatic film star Alain Delon. What began as a simple murder case quickly spiralled into a full-blown political scandal, drawing in actresses, gangsters, and high-level politicians.  British author Edward Chisholm, the author of the bestselling memoir A Waiter in Paris, has written the definitive account of the affair. His new book takes us into the heart of an era and into the inner world of Alain Delon himself, a world of gangsters, violence, and underworld Parisian conspiracies, where everyone possessed their own cold elegance and charisma.  We talked about the book, the Marković Affair, and of course... Alain Delon. The music is from Pres Maxson.  This episode brought to you by The Earful Tower Tours. Come join us in the Marais, Montmartre, or the Latin Quarter.

C is for Carnavalet. Or should that be Kernevenoy?? In this episode, we dive into one of Paris's most overlooked treasures - the Carnavalet Museum, the only museum in the world dedicated entirely to the history of Paris. I share, for the first time, the story of visiting the newly renovated museum before it opened to the public - completely alone - while waiting for the birth of his first son. Plus: the strange story behind the museum's bizarre name, and the remarkable woman history forgot. The Carnavalet Museum: 23 rue de Sévigné (also entered from 16 rue des Francs-Bourgeois), 75003 Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am–6pm. Closed Mondays. Permanent collection is free.

How do we define a ghost? What makes us gravitate towards spooky stories, and not just in October? What causes these supposed paranormal things to happen? Are they trapped spirits who are unable to move on? Inter-dimensional visitors? Energetic imprints from the past history of a house? Or is it something ancient? Something tied to the land itself. I grew up in a house on Bay Parkway in Bensonhurst that had lots of strange activity. Don't believe me? Just ask my mom. Want to take a ghost tour and see me in person? I'm leading Haunted Bay Ridge on Saturday June 6th at 6:30PM. Tickets can be found here — https://www.eventbrite.com/e/haunted-bay-ridge-revised-tickets-1987612124369, at the tours and events tab at BayRidgeDigest.com, or through the linktr.ee at @BayRidgeDigest or @TheWallBreakers on Instagram.

From the ambulance bay, rooftop helicopter pad, vertical care and trauma resuscitation rooms, Dr. Eide pulls back the curtain on what actually happens behind those sliding doors. Learn what makes Monument Health a Level II Trauma Center, how this ER is able to care for a five-state region, and how the team manages patient care while keeping patients calm during the worst day of their lives. Whether you've ever wondered what happens after a helicopter lands or what "vertical care" really means, this episode offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at emergency medicine in action. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This podcast episode features host Oliver Gee and his co-host Lina exploring the history and physical traces of the Bièvre, a lost river in Paris. Once a vital waterway that flowed into the Seine, the river was entirely buried and built over by 1912 due to industrial pollution. In this updated re-release, we lead a "scavenger hunt" with a group of enthusiasts to find medallions, plaques, and architectural clues that reveal the river's hidden path through the 13th and 5th arrondissements. A highlight of the journey includes visiting a perfectly preserved medieval arch located deep beneath a modern post office. Oliver also ventures outside city limits with a colorful character named the "Comte de Saint-Germain" to wade through a restored section of the water. Finally, the discussion touches on future urban projects that aim to uncover parts of the Bièvre to help the city combat climate change.

B is for Brocantes! This podcast episode features an interview with Sharon Santoni, a long-time expert on French lifestyle and author of the book "The Art of Antiquing in France." She discusses the nuances of the "brocante", which she defines as accessible antiques that possess a unique history and patina. The conversation explores the cultural importance of repurposing vintage items and provides practical advice for navigating famous markets like the Puces de Saint-Ouen in Paris and fairs in Provence. Sharon shares her personal journey from starting a blog in 2010 to building a community centered on French country aesthetics. Additionally, she shares tips for international travelers on how to identify quality pieces, negotiate prices, and transport treasures home.

Let's take a deep dive into the Paris Rose Line. This is an updated re-release of the time I did another A to Z season, where A was for Arago, the name of the scientist who helped map out the Paris meridian line (François Arago (1786-1853)).  In this episode, I explored the "Rose Line" (as it was called in the Da Vinci Code), sought out the bronze medallions along the streets of Paris, through the Louvre, and into the Paris Observatory.  Featured is the voice of Nicolas Lesté-Lasserre, a science historian and the community manager of the Observatoire de Paris. He showed me around this incredible 17th century institution, which is usually closed to the public.  Find more, including beautiful pictures of the observatory, on The Earful Tower's website.  The episode in this music is from Pres Maxson, featuring an original song called Le Meridien de Paris.  This episode brought to you by The Earful Tower Tours.

Poďme sa prejsť. (Let's go for a walk.)Prechádzka mestom TrenčínAk niekedy navštívite mesto Trenčín na Slovensku, určite sa zastavte v jeho historickom centre.Prvá vec, ktorú musíte navštíviť, je Trenčiansky hrad. Dozviete sa veľa o jeho histórii a ľuďoch, ktorí ho obývali. A výhľady odtiaľ stoja za každý krok.Keď zídete dole do mesta, zastavte sa na Mierovom námestí. Toto je srdce mesta. Farebné domy, malé kaviarne a uvoľnená atmosféra z neho robia ideálne miesto na oddych. Pre nádherný výhľad na námestie, vylezte hore na mestskú vežu. Potom si pozrite Piaristický kostol sv. Františka Xaverského, morový stĺp a fontánu Marca Aurélia. A nezabudnite si pozrieť rímsky nápis na hradnej skale. Je starý viac ako 1 700 rokov!Trenčín je síce malý, ale jeho historické centrum je plné prekvapení. Stačí sa iba prejsť, poobzerať sa okolo a vypočuť si príbehy minulosti.Timestamps00:34 Introduction to the episode02:16 Walking tour of Trenčín03:30 Fun fact 105:46 Fun fact 207:16 Fun fact 312:43 Fun fact 414:32 Slovak lesson18:52 Walking tour in Slovak20:25 Walking tour in English21:46 Final thoughtsIf you have any questions, send it to my email hello@bozenasslovak.com.
