On September 6, 1982, convicted murderer Leroy James Chasson made a daring break for freedom from the Massachusetts Correctional Institute-Walpole—one of the most infamous, escape-proof prisons in the country. But this wasn't just any prison break. It was a meticulously planned, five-year effort, made possible by an unlikely accomplice—Kathleen MacDonald, Chasson's former pen-pal turned wife.True crime author Daniel Zimmerman (SHOTS IN THE DARK) brings the shocking escape to life, detailing how Chasson, wounded and bleeding from self-inflicted wounds was first transferred to a hospital for treatment. Then, using a .45 automatic smuggled to him by his wife who was disguised as a nurse, took hospital guards and staff hostage, before fleeing under a hail of gunfire.Dubbed the "Bonnie and Clyde" of Massachusetts, the couple's daring run across the country captivated the nation and they would evade capture for years. Living under assumed identities, they nearly made it—until a tip from America's Most Wanted led to their eventual capture in 1989.

My own Gothic tales, such as The Fall of the House of Usher, share thematic and stylistic elements with Walpole's work, including haunted settings, supernatural events, and psychological terror.Ah yes, Mr. Poe - what about E.T.A. Hoffman?Ah, Mr. Bartley, Mr. Hoffman definitely influenced my works - due to hisuse of first-person narratives and exploration of madness, align with techniques pioneered in Otranto.  And I must point out how Otranto's Gothic tropes - —haunted castles, doomed aristocrats, and supernatural Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Covering the period from the end of the Anglo-French alliance in 1731 to the declaration of war between the two powers in 1744, British Politics and Foreign Policy, 1727-44  (Routledge, 2014) charts a turbulent period in British politics that witnessed the last decade of the Walpole ministry, the attempt to replace it by a Patriot government, and the return of the Old Corps Whigs to a process of dominance. In particular it reveals how ministerial change and political fortunes were closely linked to foreign policy, with foreign policy both affecting, and being affected by, political developments. The book draws upon a great range of foreign and domestic sources, but makes particular use of foreign diplomatic records. These are important as many negotiations were handled, at least in part, through envoys in London. Moreover, these diplomats regularly spoke with George II and his ministers, and some were personal friends of envoys and could be used for secret negotiations outside normal channels.  The range of sources consulted ensures that the book offers more than any previous book to cover the period as a whole, whilst not simply becoming a detailed study of a number of episodes. Instead it retains the strong structural aspects of the relationship between foreign policy and politics necessary to examine questions about political stability, motivation and effectiveness. Following on from Jeremy Black's previous studies on eighteenth-century foreign policy, 'Politics and Foreign Policy under George I' (covering the period 1714-27) this new book takes the story up to 1744 and continues to illuminate the complex and often opaque workings of the British state at a turbulent period of European history.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 338 - The Haunted PalaceAs you may know, The Castle of Otranto was written by Horace Walpole and first published on December 24, 1764. While the first edition was dated 1765, it was released at the end of 1764, making it the true publication year.And I think it is especially interesting that Horace Walpole was inspired to write The Castle of Otranto through a combination of personal experiences, dreams, and his fascination with medieval history and Gothic architecture.Walpole claimed that the idea for the novel came from a vivid nightmare he experienced while staying at his Gothic Revival home, Strawberry Hill House. The house's secret passages, maze-like corridors, and dramatic design elements influenced the eerie and atmospheric setting of the novel.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

December is upon us and hence it is the season for Yuletide ghost stories. And we begin with a tale from Mr Hugh Walpole, the story of an eerie Christmas spent in an old house in snowy Cornwall...

"You thought perhaps when learned Campion dies, His pen must cease, his sugared tongue be still; But you forgot how loud his death it cries How far beyond the sound of tongue and quill." In 1581, a young Englishman named Henry Walpole attended the execution of the Jesuit Edmund Campion. As Campion was hung, drawn and quartered, Walpole stood close enough to be spattered with his holy blood. Though Campion's fame in England was already great, Walpole would amplify it further with a splendid, lengthy poem, which became enormously popular among English Catholics—so popular that the man who printed the book had his ears cut off as punishment. In his poem Walpole wrote: We cannot fear a mortal torment, we, This martyr's blood hath moistened all our hearts, Whose parted quarters when we chance to see We learn to play the constant Christian's parts. This was more than wordplay: Two years after Campion's death, Walpole became a priest, and was himself hung for the faith in 1595.

Cerca de dois milhões de brasileiros vivem nos Estados Unidos, a maioria deles na Flórida. No entanto, é em Massachusetts, no nordeste do país, que cidadãos originários do Brasil são a maior comunidade imigrante em um estado do país. A RFI foi até o local conhecê-los e saber os motivos que os levaram até lá.   Daniella Franco, da RFIDados do Instituto Diáspora Brasil, baseado em Boston, capital de Massachusetts, apontam que a história da comunidade brasileira no Estado teve início há mais de 50 anos. Segundo o fundador do instituto, Alvaro de Castro e Lima, essa imigração, "de vai e vem", intensificou-se nos anos 1980, época de recessão econômica e de alto desemprego no Brasil. "Em geral, os brasileiros vinham para trabalhar aqui durante o verão, na maior parte jovens e homens. Eles trabalhavam no setor de serviços da costa de Massachusetts, e quando o inverno chegava, eles voltavam para o Brasil", explica. "Com as mudanças na política imigratória dos Estados Unidos, essas idas e vindas foram ficando impossíveis, e essa política teve como efeito não previsto a permanência dessas pessoas aqui", reitera.Nos anos 1990, a imigração brasileira começou a ter um caráter mais familiar, com a chegada de mais mulheres. "Esse movimento se espalha pelo estado e vai mudando conforme as oportunidades de emprego, com o custo de vida e o preço dos aluguéis, principalmente", diz Lima. Atualmente, cerca de 350 mil pessoas com nacionalidade brasileira vivem no estado. Segundo o fundador do Instituto Diáspora Brasil, os brasileiros nos Estados Unidos se dividem hoje entre profissionais da classe média e pessoas de meios mais desfavorecidos, que desembarcam em Massachusetts em busca de melhores oportunidades de vida. Um futuro melhorO engenheiro civil paulista Eduardo Oliveira faz parte da última onda da imigração brasileira em Massachusetts, onde trabalha com serviços de manutenção e reparos. Ele chegou ao país com o filho adolescente há três anos e não se arrepende de ter trocado o Brasil pelos Estados Unidos."O meu motivo de vir para cá, ao contrário de muitos imigrantes, não foi em busca de dinheiro para mandar para o Brasil, mas vim pensando no futuro do meu filho", diz. "Aqui em Massachusetts estão as melhores universidades do mundo e estou investindo toda a minha vida pensando no futuro dele", acrescenta.Embora nunca tenha sido vítima de xenofobia no país, Eduardo aponta duas principais dificuldades em sua vida de estrangeiro. "Inicialmente, tem o choque da língua e também a convivência com diferentes culturas", diz. "Massachusetts é um Estado que acolhe imigrantes do mundo todo. No trânsito, às vezes você se depara com indianos, que gostam de ficar buzinando o tempo todo, porque lá no país deles o costume é esse", explica. O paulista também destaca a qualidade de vida que tem nos Estados Unidos e o poder de consumo. "Eu consigo comprar uma televisão bonita apenas com o valor que recebo em um dia de trabalho", salienta.Igrejas evangélicasNesse apoio à adaptação em um país estrangeiro, as igrejas evangélicas têm um papel social de peso. Há dezenas de instituições religiosas brasileiras em Massachusetts, entre elas, a igreja Palavra de Vida, em Walpole, ao sul do Boston. Um de seus fundadores, o pastor Hélio Ferreira, detalhou o suporte que concede aos imigrantes brasileiros."Imagine uma pessoa lá do interiorzão do Brasil sozinha. Aqui ela não tem mãe, pai, filhos, esposa. Então, a igreja passa a ser a família dessas pessoas", afirma. "Uma pessoa que está bem socialmente vai contribuir para a comunidade, e nós trabalhamos muito esse aspecto social", destaca. Além do apoio à integração, Ferreira também destaca a ajuda financeira a seus fiéis. "Aquela senhora que eu levei lá na frente e que sobreviveu a um câncer [durante culto em 3 de novembro, acompanhado pela reportagem da RFI]. Nós passamos dois, três anos orando com ela. Quem você acha que sustentou essa pessoa durante três anos? São coisas que a gente não fala em público, mas são coisas que igreja faz", sublinha o pastor. A empresária Marcieli Pastorio, fiel da igreja Palavra de Vida, confirma as palavras de Ferreira. "Eu estava passando por um divórcio muito difícil, tive um problema pessoal e acabei indo para o hospital. Minha mãe encontrou o pastor Hélio e ele, com sua esposa Nani, foram ao hospital me fazer uma visita. Quando eu tive alta, comecei a frequentar aqui", conta.Segundo ela, a instituição é um importante suporte para sua vida espiritual e sua integração. "Quando me divorciei, meus pais decidiram comprar a loja do pastor Hélio, que estava à venda na época para que eu pudesse me sustentar e sair da casa do meu ex-marido. Então, foi onde a relação com a igreja Palavra de Vida se intensificou, porque comecei a ter um papel maior dentro da comunidade brasileira aqui nessa região, e também dentro da igreja", completa.Brasileiros na política de MassachusettsOs brasileiros também marcam presença na vida política de Massachusetts. O Estado conta com três deputados que emigraram do Brasil, todos do Partido Democrata. Entre eles, Priscila Sousa, natural de Ipatinga (MG), que representa na Assembleia Legislativa estadual o distrito que abriga Framingham, conhecida como a cidade mais brasileira dos Estados Unidos."É uma honra representar a nossa comunidade aqui", diz Priscila. "Eu amo essa cidade que abraçou os brasileiros e que deu espaço para empreendermos e crescermos aqui", reitera, destacando a imensa responsabilidade de seu trabalho. "Na nossa comunidade está aumentando o engajamento político. Então, temos também essa obrigação de participar da educação cívica dos brasileiros", sublinha. Marcony Almeida Barros, natural de Maceió (AL), é chefe-adjunto de gabinete da governadora de Massachusetts, a democrata Maura Healey. Em Everett, ao norte de Boston, onde é o idealizador de um programa pioneiro para alunos sem-teto, o alagoano também exerce o cargo de vereador escolar, similar ao de um secretário de Educação estadual no Brasil. "Existe um grande número de alunos em Everett que são considerados 'homeless', ou seja, que não têm casa para morar, inclusive muitos brasileiros. As famílias vêm para cá e quando não dá certo a vida aqui, eles querem voltar para o Brasil. Mas os filhos já se adaptaram aqui, estão falando inglês fluente, e consideram que os Estados Unidos são o país deles. Então tem muitos pais que voltam, mas deixam os filhos aqui", conta.Segundo Barros, várias dessas crianças ficam sob a responsabilidade de outros familiares ou amigos, e acabam indo parar nas ruas. Ao assumir o cargo de vereador escolar, o alagoano contabilizou cerca de cem menores nesta situação em Everett. "A gente paga o aluguel destes jovens, contrata uma agência de assistência social para ajudá-los, e essa agência vai em busca de quartos ou casas para eles. A única condição para continuarem no programa é não deixarem a escola", explica. A ameaça de Trump aos imigrantes brasileirosCom a promessa do presidente eleito dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, de colocar em prática um projeto de deportação em massa de imigrantes, a comunidade brasileira pode entrar na mira da extrema direita americana, prevê o fundador do Instituto Diáspora Brasil."Muita gente acredita que ele fala essas coisas, mas não vai fazer, que essas declarações dele são só política eleitoral", diz Alvaro de Castro e Lima. "Mas ele é capaz disso", reitera, destacando também a possibilidade do republicano de mobilizar a população contra os imigrantes. "O problema é quando esse caldo que Trump está preparando atingir o ponto de fervura", adverte. Segundo ele, a situação pode piorar nos próximos meses. "A imigração aumentou bastante nos Estados Unidos, e em cidades que não conheciam esse fenômeno. Então, você tem uma massa que pode ser manipulada e que realmente acredita no que Trump diz", observa. "Para eles, o grande problema dos Estados Unidos são os imigrantes", lamenta.

It's Wednesday, July 3rd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Pakistani court sentenced Christian to death A court in Pakistan sentenced a Christian man to death on Saturday.  Twenty-eight-year-old Ehsaan Shan Masih is accused of reposting content considered blasphemous against Islam by the government.  The accusations followed a terrible mob attack against Christians in the country's eastern Punjab Province in 2023.  Shan's lawyer will appeal the sentence. He said, “The Christian community in Pakistan is facing severe injustice, living in constant fear for their lives, property, and places of worship. This verdict symbolizes the virtual death of all Christians in Pakistan today.”  According to the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations, Pakistan is ranked the seventh most difficult country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Revelation 12:11 says believers overcame Satan “by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” Church of England greenlights blessing homosexual couples The Church of England's General Synod began this week.  The church is facing division over the issue of sexually perverted lifestyles. Last year, the Church of England allowed priests to bless homosexual couples.  However, conservative leaders in the Church of England are pushing back. The group known as The Alliance represents over 2,000 clergy members.  A letter from the group warned they are preparing to create a "parallel province” in the Church of England and to “seek pastoral oversight from bishops who remain faithful to orthodox teaching on marriage and sexuality.”  Biden: “I can do this job!” Last Friday, in Raleigh, North Carolina, following his disastrous debate performance, President Joe Biden admitted that his age has limited his abilities. BIDEN: “I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate, debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. (cheers) I know right from wrong. (cheers) “I know how to do this job. (cheers) I know how to get things done. (cheers) I know, like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down you get back up. (cheers) “I know what it took to take our economy from the depths of pandemic, where it is the day, the strongest economy in the world. Folks, I give you my word, as a Biden, I would not be running again if I didn't believe, with all my heart and soul, I can do this job!” First Democrat Congressman tells Biden to step aside However, Biden's defense was not sufficient for Democratic Congressman Lloyd Doggett of Austin, Texas. On Tuesday, Doggett became the first in the party to publicly call for President Joe Biden to step down as the party's nominee for president, citing Biden's poor debate performance against Donald Trump, reports The Associated Press. In a statement Tuesday, Congressman Doggett said, “My decision to make these strong reservations public is not done lightly nor does it in any way diminish my respect for all that President Biden has achieved. … I am hopeful that he will make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw. I respectfully call on him to do so.” Shortly afterwards, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro joined Doggett in calling for Biden to withdraw. Castro ran against Biden in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries. Trump advisor Rudy Giuliani disbarred On Tuesday, Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, federal prosecutor and legal adviser to Donald Trump, was disbarred in New York after a court found he repeatedly made false statements about Trump's 2020 election loss, reports The Associated Press. The Manhattan appeals court ruled Giuliani, who had his New York law license suspended in 2021 for making false statements around the election, is no longer allowed to practice law at all in the state, effective immediately. Texas Court upholds ban on transgender drugs/surgeries for minors Last Friday, the Texas Supreme Court  upheld a law that bans transgender drugs and surgeries for minors. The court ruled 8-1 in favor of the law. Texas is the largest of about 25 states that banned such mutilating practices on children.  The court emphasized the role of parents in their children's care. The ruling stated, “We have said—and we reaffirm today—that fit parents have a fundamental interest in directing the care, custody, and control of their children free from government interference.”  Iowa court upholds Heartbeat law Also last Friday, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that the state's Heartbeat Law should go into effect.  The law bans physicians from killing unborn babies. If a heartbeat is detected, the baby is protected with some exceptions.  The ruling stated, “We have previously held that abortion is not a fundamental right under the Iowa Constitution. … We conclude that the fetal heartbeat statute is rationally related to the state's legitimate interest in protecting unborn life.” American patriotism declining July 4th might be tomorrow, but American patriotism is down, according to a new Gallup poll. Only 41% of U.S. adults say they are extremely proud to be American, down from 70% in the early 2000s. An additional 26% say they are very proud to be American. A combined 67% are extremely or very proud, down from 90% in the early 2000s. Being extremely proud to be an American is down among Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. But Republicans were the most likely to be extremely patriotic. Generations Radio guest empowers sex abuse victims to speak up Today, as Kevin Swanson is traveling overseas, I guest host for him on Generations Radio. I interviewed Elizabeth Good, the author of Speak the Unspeakable: Real Talk on Secrets, Sex and Being Set Free. Through TheFoundationUnited.org, she empowers people to stop concealing their trauma. GOOD: “If abuse starts at three, four, or five years old, and we keep it secret until [age] 53, things are happening that a child, their intuition, they know it doesn't feel right. They feel yucky. And the textbook ploys of somebody that is abusing them, and the predator tactics of this type of behavior, is so textbook. And so to arm the children, so they have the empowerment and the ability to speak to the things that are entering at five years old, six years old, seven years old. “We have so many children in seventh grade that are going through our different materials that we have for the church or for schools or for homeschool. And as they're going through it in seventh grade, we've had so many girls especially say, ‘Why wasn't I given this in fourth grade? If this would have been given me in fourth grade, I would have known exactly what to do. When this happened to be online. I would have known exactly what to say because this is exactly the situation.'” Take a listen to my 30-minute interview with Elizabeth Good at Generations.org/radio. That's Generations.org/radio. Christian athlete gives glory to God A Christian track athlete broke a world record in the lead-up to the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. Sydney McLaughlin Levrone was competing in the U.S. Olympic team trials. She finished the women's 400-meter hurdles in 50.65 seconds. That beat the previous world record which she herself had set. Listen to her interaction with a sports reporter. NBC REPORTER:  “Sydney, when you looked up and you saw the clock, we saw the look on your face. But just tell us what went through your mind, another world record.” LEVRONE: “Honestly, praise God. I was not expecting that, but He can do anything. Anything is possible in Christ. So, yeah, I'm just amazed, baffled, and in shock!” After breaking world records in the past, she has quoted Hebrews 4:16: “So let us come BOLDLY to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” Final 2 Worldview listeners gave $225 And finally, we want to say a special thank you to our final two donors who helped support The Worldview over the next fiscal year. Keziah in Walpole, New Hampshire gave $25 and Israel and Michelle in Lexington Park, Maryland gave $200. Interestingly, $50 of that $200 donation came from work their son Isaac did.  Since the family has been battling Colorado potato beetles, they offered him 5 cents per dead beetle.  To his credit, over the course of several hours and in 90-degree heat, Isaac successfully killed 1,000 Colorado potato beetles, earning $50 for his effort which he decided to donate, in its entirely, to The Worldview. Isaac, if you took a picture of your pile of dead beetles, email it to me at Adam@TheWorldview.com. Ready for our final final total? Drum roll please. (sound effect of drum roll) $96,800! (audience cheering) Michelle from Lexington Park, Maryland wrote, “We are expecting baby number six in one month and thank the Lord for always providing for us financially so I can stay home and homeschool my kiddos.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, July 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

It's Tuesday, June 4th, A.D. 2024,. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson What did Malaysian government do with Pastor Raymond Koh? The American Center for Law and Justice has issued a petition on the social media site X demanding answers from the Malaysian government on Pastor Raymond Koh's whereabouts. The petition has almost 30,000 signatures.   The petition states that “Pastor Raymond Koh has been missing for [seven] years in Malaysia [and] the Malaysian government refuses to provide answers.”  Koh ran a non-profit group working with HIV/AIDS patients, people with an addiction, and other individuals in need of help.  75-year-old pro-lifer given 2-year prison sentence Paulette Harlow is 75 years old and she is the ninth and final pro-life advocate to be sentenced for violating the Freedom of Access to Abortion Clinics Entrances Act at the Washington Surgi-Clinic in 2020.   A grandmother, and mother of six -- including four adopted children, Harlow received a 24-month sentence on May 31st from Judge Colleen Kotelly.  However, in the final analysis, God will be the Judge. Proverbs 18:5 reminds us that “It is not good to show partiality to the wicked or to overthrow the righteous in judgment.” Mexico's new pro-abortion, pro-homosexual secular president Mexico has elected its first female president. Claudia Sheinbaum won the election with 59% of the vote. Raised as a secular Jew, Sheinbaum is outspoken about her pro-abortion and pro-homosexual positions.  Mexico's Supreme Court legalized abortion last September. Since 1990, over 60 nations have liberalized their abortion laws. Only the United States, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Poland have slowed the legalization of abortion in recent years. Sheinbaum's election makes for the 54th election of a female head of state over the last 10 years. There were nine female heads of state elected during the 1980s, and five in the 1970s.  Abortion rates are up worldwide Abortion rates are up in the U.S. and other nations around the world.    Scotland, for, example reports the number of abortions up 53% over the last decade. This is largely due to the increase access to the Kill Pill program. Abortions by the abortion pill have increased from 9,600 per year to 17,900 per year over the last decade. And home-based abortions in Scotland have doubled from 5,100 to 10,500 per year since 2020. Meanwhile, surgical abortions have decreased from 2,300 to 350 per year over the last decade. Let us all remember that “there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” (Hebrews 4:13) India's national elections unlikely to help Christians India is conducting national elections today. As they face rising persecution at the hands of fundamentalist Hindus, India's Christians throughout the country are hoping for some respite or help from the national government.  However, current polls point to another win for the Bharatiya Janata Party. One million African Methodists walk away from denomination The Côte d'Ivoire Conference of the United Methodists, based in West Africa, has voted to leave the United Methodist Church — after the U.S.-based denomination voted to approve the ordination of pastors who live out sinful, homosexual lifestyles. The “Ivory Coast” Methodists make up about one million members, one of the largest regional church bodies in the world. Korean pastors eager to sever ties with U.S. Methodists Also, an assembly of Korean Methodist pastors have met in mid-May to discuss a severance of relationships with the U.S. United Methodist Church.  The Korean General Assembly of Methodist Churches has already announced plans to ”solidify our traditional position and Bible-centered faith for its own ministry and mission direction.” In 3 days, Americans gave $200 million to Trump's campaign Americans responded to former President Donald Trump's guilty verdict with massive fund raising for the Trump for President campaign. Eric Trump, his son, told Fox News Sunday, the campaign has raised $200 million within three days, $70 million of which came from small donors. Listen. ERIC TRUMP: “They're coming out of the woodwork and they want to support a guy that they just believe is getting bamboozled by a system. We saw it with Impeachment One. We saw it with Impeachment Two. “We see it where they weaponized every liberal [District Attorney] and [Attorney General] across the country with one intent: to take him down, to slander him, to ruin his reputation, to try and divide his family, to try and bankrupt him, to throw him in jail. And America sees through it. They know exactly what's going on.” Meanwhile, by comparison, the Biden campaign has reportedly raised $104 million since the beginning of the year. Thailand officials eager to pass homosexual faux-marriage bill Thailand's prime minister attended the Pride Festivities in celebration of sexual perversions over the weekend in Bangkok. Srettha Thavisin  pledged his government's support for the “homosexual faux-marriage” bill which was passed through the legislature by a vote of 400 to 10 back in March.   Sadly, Thailand legalized abortion in 2019, and extended the legalization of abortion to the 20th week of the child's life in 2022.   Plus, Thailand has long been known as the “global capital” of prostitution and the child sex trade. Thailand will join Taiwan as the only two Asian nations embracing homosexual faux-marriage. China landed spacecraft on far side of moon In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth.   Six thousand years later, China has landed a spacecraft on the far side of the moon — the only nation to have accomplished the feat so far. The Chinese space program hopes to collect rocks for analysis on the lunar south pole.  Worldview listeners in Ohio and Pennsylvania weigh in In response to my invitation for listeners to write me at Adam@TheWorldview.com about what our newscast means to them, Connie in Blanchester, Ohio wrote, “I depend on your broadcast to supply me with truthful news.

In the latest episode of the "Remotely One" podcast, Jeff Walpole, CEO of Phase2, joins hosts Rick and Kaleem for an engaging chat about the evolution and future of remote and hybrid work environments. The entertaining exchange delves into Jeff's extensive experience managing hybrid teams and offers valuable lessons for organizations navigating these new work paradigms.Jeff's career spans from working on IT projects for the U.S. Navy, EPA, and Department of Defense, to leading Phase2, a digital agency he co-founded in 2001. His background as a musician in a heavy metal hair band named "Without Warning" adds an intriguing twist to his professional journey, sparking nostalgic banter about 80s rock fashion and music icons like Dio and Ratt.Starting Phase2 shortly after September 11, 2001, Jeff and his co-founders initially worked on-site at the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), developing a system for calculating the NFL salary cap. Their early adoption of remote and flexible work practices, including holding meetings in a Starbucks conference room, laid the groundwork for their future operations.Phase2 has since grown into a leading digital agency, delivering large-scale, custom software solutions for clients like Fannie Mae, Johnson & Johnson, and the Smithsonian!For remote enthusiasts, the trio deeply explore Phase2's transition to remote-first operations. Originally having a significant office presence, the company gradually reduced office space in response to the rise of remote work, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, their Arlington headquarters is mostly empty, reflecting a strategic shift to accommodate diverse work preferences.By fostering a culture that values flexibility, purposeful meetings, and strong client relationships, Phase2 has successfully navigated the challenges of remote work while continuing to innovate in the digital space. Through action, Phase2 underscores the importance of intentionality in remote work!The pandemic was a turning point, forcing everyone to experience remote work and fostering greater empathy for remote team members. This universal shift helped overcome the final barriers to a more inclusive hybrid work culture. Phase2 even created the "Phase2 Remote Work Playbook," a resource made freely available during the pandemic. This playbook, drawing from their long history with remote work, offered technical tips and cultural advice for effective remote meetings, helping other companies navigate the sudden shift to remote work.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the practicalities and philosophies of managing hybrid and remote work environments. Jeff's emphasis on flexibility, empathy, and productivity provides a valuable framework for organizations adapting to these models.

In The Beggar's Opera we enter a society turned upside down, where private vices are seen as public virtues, and the best way to survive is to assume the worst of everyone. The only force that can subvert this state of affairs is romantic love – an affection, we discover, that satire finds hard to cope with. John Gay's 1727 smash hit ‘opera', which ran for 62 performances in its first run, put the highwaymen, criminal gangs and politicians of the day up on stage, and offered audiences a tuneful but unnerving reflection of their own corruption and mortality. Clare and Colin discuss how this satire on the age of Walpole came about, what it did for its struggling author, and why it's an infinitely elusive, strangely modernist work.This is an extract from the episode.
