Podcasts about White City

Chicago, 1886. A charming young doctor arrives in a city where nobody knows his past—and quickly begins building a future of deception, ambition and murder. In this second episode of the HH Holmes saga, we follow his rise in Chicago, the creation of the infamous building that would later become known as the “Murder Castle,” and the disappearance of Julia Smythe and her young daughter Pearl. But how much of the terrifying legend surrounding Holmes is actually true?Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theserialkillerpodcastWebsite: https://www.theserialkillerpodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theskpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialkillerpodX: https://x.com/serialkillerpodSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-serial-killer-podcast.

We're hanging on to summer with the fragrance launches discussed, and in what we're wearing this week, but there is a noticeable change in the weather here in the U.K. There have even been sightings of socks, jackets, cardigans and knee-high boots on the streets! A week ago, such items were unthinkable, but now we're almost looking forward to the seasons changing again. ALMOST, but not quite yet. Not when there's a plethora of new perfume discoveries to delve in to (many of which will prove incredibly versatile in cooler weather anyway, we feel). Quite apart from some exquisite new fragrant finds to welcome Nicola back from holiday with, we've two more of your utterly brilliant Listener Prescriptions to answer, and an exciting update from Madeline – the musician / vineyard worker / medal-winning fighter we helped find new fragrances for last week! In this week's episode we discuss: Jo Malone London Sea Salt & Bergamot‘Plunge into the exhilarating surf of the Celtic Sea. Immersed in the wild waters, every wave carries a fresh minerality. Joining a burst of bergamot, driftwood anchors this sea-salt fresh scent. Experience the untamed beauty of the British coast. Top Note: bergamot(Brightens with its sparkling, citrus freshness) Heart Note: sea salt(The crunchy nature of sea salt accord brings both texture and a sense of freshness and purity to the heart of the fragrance) Base Note: driftwood(Suffused with the saltiness of the sea, this accord brings a light woodiness to the fragrance)' Jo Malone London Iris & White Musk Cologne Intense (recommend to listener in last week's episode seeking clean / soapy iris fragrances!) Harrods ‘The Iris and White Musk Cologne Intense from Jo Malone London is a light and airy scent that's perfect for everyday use. It marries powdery iris with creamy white musk, resulting in a distinctive aroma that's ideal for layering with other fragrances but can also be worn alone.' Ex Nihilo Demon Dancer (Harrods)‘Ex Nihilo recreates the defiant freedom of dance in motion.Inviting you to move to your own rhythm, Ex Nihilo's Demon Dancer is a call for ‘unapologetic self-expression'. Inspired by contemporary dance performance, the fragrance ignites an inner fire through energetic fruity notes that flow with freeing freshness and grounded intensity. Top Notes: rhubarb, bergamot, peppermint, blood orangeHeart Notes: orange blossom, blackcurrantBase Notes: georgywood, akigalawood, ambrofix, musks, tonka bean.' Une Nuit Nomade Sun Bleached ‘Clean Linen Accord • White Flowers • Bergamot •Ambrette AbsoluteMuscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman, also known as the White City. The sun drowns the immaculate walls with its rays. It is a bright light that makes eyes squint. Omanis wander the streets, elegantly wearing their dishdashas, a long white tunic decorated with a pom-pom that is delicately dipped in perfume. 'Sun Bleached' is adorned with freshness, in an accord of clean linen, white flowers and a zesty flight of citrus fruits as if biting into a piece of orange, with white musks and sandalwood rounding off its explosiveness.' Connock London Pelago‘A sun-drenched Mediterranean fragrance with bright citrus and aromatic herbs, evoking the warmth of golden afternoons along sunlit shores. Top Notes: orange, bergamot, lemon, mandarin, grapefruit.Heart Notes: rosemary, neroli, petitgrain.Base Notes: amber, vetiver.' Roger & Gallet Neroli Solid Perfume ‘Discover your Néroli Wellbeing Fragrant Water in a new solid format to put on the neck, the neckline and the wrists. An alcohol-free perfume merging soflty with the skin. A new way to boost and facet your trail all day long. Enriched with rose essential oil, known for its relaxing benefits, the solid fragrance is a real caress onto the skin. Its rich and unctuous texture with vegetal waxes encapsulates the olfactive notes and keep the trail longer. A small and nomad format with an addictive gesture, to bring everywhere, wherever you are.' French Cowboy Pear Pavlova‘Almond, Ambrette Seeds, Jasmine, Meringue, Pear, Pink Pepper, Powdery Musk, Vanilla. Ashley Santiago is the youngest perfumer at Givaudan and the co-founder of French Cowboy. California-born with Mexican-Caribbean roots, she honed her craft in Paris, New York & Singapore: blending global flavour with French savoir-faire.' PERFUME PRESCRIPTIONS: Update from Madeline (the musician / vineyard worker / medal-winning fighter from last week's Correspondence Special episode): ‘OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!Suzy and Nicola thankyou so so sooooo much for my prescription!!When I saw that you had dropped a new episode WITH MY NAME IN THE NOTES I screamed!!!! It's perfect perfect PERFECT beyond words.I have already ordered a bottle of the Map Of Hearts Valour and I am currently hunting for samples of the others you both suggested!!I CANNOT wait to let you know how I go, l am so so sooooo excited to try them all!!' (If we don't have time this week: NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE, another Perfume Prescription special?) Jessi - aka @grotesquex_o‘hi suzy and nicola, the day that you answered my cave perfume prescription was one of the best days of my life. i was hiking around the forest on a break at the museum in san francisco where i work, squealing and reveling in our shared zeal! ill remember the feeling forever. although i havent gotten my nose on that perfect perfume you found just yet, my sister and boyfriend know exactly what to get me for Christmas… I'm writing to you humbly with the hope of another perfume prescription. i love cold incense perfumes, and found that my favorites (andrea maack craft and CDG avignon) have a chlorine note (to my nose at least, tho unlisted) that i crave. like the way your skin and hair smell after a swim in the pool, not the smell of sunscreen or tropical fruits that so often characterizes pool culture-inspired perfumes. are there any other cold, chlorinated, incense perfumes you love?' Suzy's Answer: Serge Lutens L'Eau Froide‘By Christopher Sheldrake. The fragrance features Sea water, Pepper, Mint, Musk, Incense, Olibanum, Ginger and Vetiver.'‘"The situation was too hot for me to handle.” or “A chill ran down my spine.” I simply applied a similar concept to an Eau. The hero of this story is a tree during the dog days of summer. If an incision is made in its trunk, "tears of glass" come out. Without air conditioning, the heat would kill it. Frankincense helps this scent preserve an icy cool." - a note from the brand.' Bibbi Swimming Pool‘By Jérôme Epinette. Top notes are mint, basil and Ginger; middle notes are Eucalyptus and Geranium; base notes are Blonde Woods, Grass, White Wood, Ambroxan and Light Amber. You completely forget about time and space when you swim in the pool. The water forces you to go through all the darkest hours and brightest moments of your life. After swimming in the pool, you will be forever changed and have an intense basil-like scent stuck to your skin forever.' Heretic Nosferatu‘SMELLS LIKE: An encounter with an apparition in the cold, damp caves of Count Orlok's castle.'‘In partnership with Nosferatu and Focus Features, Heretic is proud to present Nosferatu Eau de Macabre, a fragrance inspired by the iconic vampire. A chilling scent of wilting lilacs, velvety vegan ambergris and strikes of lightning that fill the air with petrichor and electricity—It's both delicate and hedonistic. Samples available.Top Notes: lilac, ambretteHeart Notes: petrichor, violet absolute, orris concrete, cypriolBASE: vegan ambergris, oudh, labdanum.' Pip:‘Hi Suzie and Nicola. I'm looking for a perfume prescription. I've had a bit of a rollercoaster year, my partner and I were lucky enough to have a little boy together after IVF and it's been a really incredible (though exhausting!) time. One of my oldest and dearest friends died a month before we had him and there's not a day that goes by where I don't think about her. I'm incredibly sad that we never got to share any of our boy mum moments together. She was always so positive though and down to earth, and I want to remember her with happiness, as well as have a comforting fragrance that will make me think of my little boy when he's older and him of me. My memories of my friend when we were growing up together are scented with incense, books and the sticky floors of rock bars! I like vanilla, sandalwood and scents that have a bit of smoke. Thanks so much and thank you for keeping me company on my particularly sleep deprived days, I love listening to you both!

In this episode, Matthew Lloyd Roberts is joined by Samira Ahmed, journalist, broadcaster, presenter and President of C20, to discuss the BBC Television Centre. Opened in 1960 in White City, the building became one of the most recognisable homes of British broadcasting, where countless television programmes were made and transmitted for over half a century. In this episode, we explored the history and architecture of the Television Centre, its place in Britain's cultural imagination, and what its transformation tells us about the changing role of the BBC and public broadcasting.Subscribe to the Open City Podcast on Spotify, Soundcloud or iTunesThe Open City Podcast is supported by Bloomberg Connects, the free arts and culture platform and produced in association with the Architects' Journal, London Society, C20 Society and Save Britain's Heritage.The Open City Podcast is recorded and produced at the Open City offices located in Bureau.

The 1893 Chicago World's Fair is a cornerstone of the Tartaria and mudflood theory: the claim that its Greco-Roman buildings were dug out of a buried advanced civilization and passed off as new. I believed it believed it for years, until I looked at the historical records and 700 archival photos.Video Episode: https://youtu.be/yDjbnjjona0Chance and Dylan dig into the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition, the cornerstone of the Tartaria and mudflood theory that an advanced lost civilization built the "White City" and that elites faked its construction. Using C.D. Arnold's 700-photo construction archive, period engineering journals, and a frame-by-frame forensic analysis of the so-called impossible photos, this Inner Whirled investigation walks through how the fair was really built with staff plaster, timber, and 40,000 workers, why the "no blueprints" and "no materials" claims collapse on contact with the archive, and what this means for Tartaria.

Another funny story from my visit to the White City Veterans Hospital yesterday. Surely you remember the post, Lost in the Hallways – Gnostic Insights, from February? And then the follow-up to the story posted in Reforming the Demiurge – Gnostic Insights ? Well, here’s some more weirdness associated with the White City facility. First, the hallways remain a mystery to me, no matter how often I visit. I’ve returned there at least 10 times by now for various health related matters, and each time I venture back into the labyrinth, I am lost and need help to find my destination. Okay, that could be me. But here’s something so odd that I had to pull out my phone and snap a couple of pictures. As I was leaving a very relaxing acupuncture session from my wonderful therapist, I happened to glance out a window along one of the second-story hallways and spied this curious oddity. What? You can’t see it? I never saw it before yesterday, either. Here’s a close-up: I ask you–what the H-E-double-hockey-sticks is this? A manhole cover labelled “666“? If I believed in Hell, which I don’t, I would wonder if this were a portal. Just strikes me as weird, that’s all.

Episode 53: Recorded April 11, 2026 “Not only did you have the working class, if you like, after work, but also you had Lord this and Lady that in the club having dinner in black tie, and of course everyone else was milling around at the stadium having a bet. So it suited everyone.” Charlie Blanning, author and historian, on the class-crossing nature of the sport during the British Golden Age of racing Show Notes Traditional anniversaries have gift recommendations up to the 60th — the diamond anniversary — but what do you give for a 100th? In the case of British Greyhound racing, you sit down with the sport’s foremost historian — author Charlie Blanning — and trace a century of the sport from its improbable American origins to the grandeur of White City and Wembley. Charlie’s book — Please Mister: The Golden Age of Greyhound Racing — serves as a starting point in the story of British Greyhound racing, chronicling how Owen Patrick “O.P.” Smith’s oval track concept crossed the Atlantic. In the summer of 1926, rainy Manchester served as the venue for the sport’s first English race. It would grow into a sport that drew crowds of over 100,000 to a single Greyhound Derby final. In this episode, host John Parker sits down with Charlie to discuss the founding figures behind British Greyhound racing, Golden Age hounds and trainers, and the rise of high-society track culture at White City and Wembley. Charlie also shares his candid views on the sport’s precarious future. “When the sport goes, the breed will go with it.” Links The Greyhound and the Hare (Facebook) Please Mister: The Golden Age of Greyhound Racing (eBay UK)

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, Helen Pitt chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about The House: The dramatic story of the Sydney Opera House and the people who made it and Luna Park: The extraordinary story of the showmen, shysters and schemers who built Sydney's famous fun park. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: The catalyst for The House was hearing of the death of Sydney Opera House architect Jørn Utzon. Helen Pitt realised his tragic story deserved retelling for a new generation. Helen restored the largely forgotten story of Peter Hall, the Australian architect who completed the interiors of Sydney Opera House after Utzon's dramatic departure in 1966. Luna Park began taking shape in 2019, driven by Helen's desire to uncover the dark history lurking beneath one of Sydney's most joyful facades. The Ghost Train fire of 9 June 1979, which killed six children and one father, sits at the heart of Luna Park. Helen presents compelling evidence that the potential crime scene was bulldozed within 24 hours, making the truth perhaps permanently unknowable. Helen cites Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City as her primary model for novelistic nonfiction, employing scene-setting, dialogue and granular detail to bring history viscerally alive.

This week on Food Rebels, AJ Sharp interviews Alex Emmanuel-Jones, Commercial Director of The Black Farmer, to unpack the real story behind one of the UK's most recognisable challenger brands. What started as Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones' bold response to assumptions about who “belongs” in farming has grown into a nationally stocked brand found in Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Ocado, alongside urban farm shops in Brixton and White City. But this is more than a retail success story. It's about representation. It's about resilience. It's about building a commercially successful food brand without compromising on values.

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. It’s been a few weeks since I recorded a live episode, and here I am. Now, I don’t have any particular Gnostic insights for you today. However, I do have some interesting news to share and a very strange experience I had a couple of days ago. So, let’s start with the news. One of the reasons I don’t have a new episode for you this week, in particular a philosophical episode, is because I’ve been working on a stage play called A Midwife’s Trial. I wrote this play about 15 years ago, and I pulled it out of the drawer a couple weeks ago and decided to polish it and get it on its feet. I went with a friend to a little theater a few weeks ago, and they were putting on 12 Angry Men. Now, if you’ve never seen the movie 12 Angry Men, the original, there’s a newer movie, really bad, but the old classic movie starring Henry Fonda and 11 other very well-known actors of the black and white movie era—it’s a great movie. You should see it. It’s the story of the jurors in a deliberation room. They’ve just watched a trial, and they’re in the deliberation room. The entire movie or play takes place around the deliberation table, and they are the 12 Angry Men, the jury. My play is also a trial story, but it’s the trial side of it, so it makes like a nice bookend to 12 Angry Men. So, that’s why it reminded me to get my play back out and try it again. I had sent it around to play festivals and whatnot about 15 years ago. It made one final round, but didn’t win any prizes, so I put it away. It’s based upon my doctoral dissertation, The Trial of a California Midwife, and it is an enactment of actual trial testimony from a couple of midwives, an obstetrician, and then the two attorneys, one for the prosecution and one for the defense, and of course the judge. Those are all the characters. And then it cuts back and forth to a reenactment of this difficult birth that is the subject of the trial. So, it’s a very interesting play. I think it’s fascinating personally, and I’m hoping that audiences will too. I went ahead and contacted the creative director of the theater where I watched 12 Angry Men, and he says, yeah, sounds good. We’ll get you on the schedule for August. So, now it looks like I’m going to have a stage play staged in the town of Phoenix, Oregon. It’s between Ashland and Medford in southern Oregon. I’m going to produce and direct the play myself, which means that for the first time in my theater experience, I will have the power of casting, which is very exciting as well. Anyway, so that’s a little piece of exciting news for me, but it’s been taking up my mind and it’s been taking up my writing time. So, that’s my excuse for not having any new Gnostic Insights episodes for you. And if you live in the southern Oregon area or northern California, I do hope you will come and see the play. I’m also in the process of having the Children of the Fullness: A Gnostic Myth children’s book turned into an animated video. That’s very exciting. I got together with a fellow on LinkedIn, and he’s done a great job of animating these still pictures that are in the children’s book. So, we’re in the final polishing stage of that also. That should be available before too long on YouTube or wherever I can figure out it should go. Logos Falls What I mainly want to tell you about today is a very strange experience I had this week, day before yesterday. In November, my insurance coverage changed, and my primary care provider was not going to be covered by the insurance company that I had been with. So, I had to look for a new primary care provider, and it just so happens I don’t live very far from the VA hospital in White City, Oregon. It used to be an Army base in World War II, and then they changed it into a Veterans Administration hospital. And, by the way, part of the reason I linked into them, is because I actually live in one of the barracks from White City. My historic home is two parts. Half of the house is an 1875 farmhouse. That’s a two-story farmhouse, and I rent out that part of the house as an Airbnb rental, and it can accommodate parties of six pretty easily. The other side of my house is a set of Army barracks that were stuck onto the farmhouse around 1949, after the war was over, and White City was disassembling itself as an Army base, and people bought the old barracks as scrap lumber. So, the man that lived in my house in the 1940s bought two Army barracks and stuck them on the side of this farmhouse, and I live in one of those Army barracks. The other barracks is the garage. I like living in the barracks. It’s a very nice space, very cabin-y feeling, built in the 1930s, all local wood. So, I signed up with the VA to be my primary care physicians, and I have to tell you, very nice people. I’ve been to a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, and a primary care person there at the VA over the last couple of months. All three of them from other countries. That’s kind of funny to me. From Bulgaria, from Sri Lanka, and I didn’t even ask where the acupuncturist is from, but he sounds Eastern European. Very nice people and very competent care providers. Well, anyway, back to the weird part of the story. Day before yesterday, I went out to White City, my first appointment with their chiropractor. The VA hospital complex there, is made up of old two-story brick buildings. I think they probably replaced what must have been earlier wooden buildings when World War II was going on, and so these are really boring-looking boxes of brick buildings, two-story boxes, and they’re all right near each other and connected by corridors or breezeways. My appointment was in the upper floor of building 209, but you enter through the lower floor of 201, and there are like eight buildings you’ve got to get through to get to 209, and they’re all connected. That’s the way you get to building 209. The parking lot’s in front of building 201. So, I had brought a book with me, a library book, a very good library book that I’m enjoying reading that my brother Bill had recommended. He’s loving it. It’s called Culpability, and it’s about a car crash and who was at fault. Very well written and philosophical at the same time, and it includes AI and all kinds of stuff, self-driving automobiles and whatnot. So, I wanted to bring the book with me to read in the waiting room. Not that I’ve ever had to wait, because here’s the peculiar thing about this VA facility that I’ve been going to—I seem to be the only patient. It’s like I’m in one of those Reddit spaces called Mall World or Liminal Spaces, if any of you have ever been into any of those types of Reddit discussion groups, because there’s hardly any patients. Then the only people I see as I’m walking, and it takes, honestly, it takes about 20 minutes or a half hour to get from where I walk in to get back there to the chiropractor’s office. Maybe I saw three patients in all of that time. Corridor after corridor after corridor with empty waiting rooms, and the only people you see is glancing into office rooms, on the right and left, where people are working at their computers on whatever the heck they’re working on, because I never see patients there. It’s very strange. So, that in itself is very much like this place called Liminal Space or Mall World on Reddit. Anyway, I had brought my dog. He was waiting for me in the car. He’s a small dog, and so he has basically a high chair set up in the passenger seat, and he sits there to be able to see out the window as we drive along. Well, I know he likes to get in the driver’s seat and lay down when I’m doing errands and out of the car, so I set my book down on the roof of the car and straightened out a towel on the driver’s seat, and then I went into the building. Now, I lost the book somewhere. It’s a library book. I lost a library book. I don’t know if I left it on the roof of the car or if somewhere between 201 and 209. I did use a ladies room, and it had a couple of stalls in there, and it had a window with windowsill. I didn’t want to leave my purse out there on the windowsill, but I didn’t mind leaving the library book on the windowsill, so I took the purse into the stall with me, and then I came out. And by the time I got to the chiropractor’s office—of course, I was the only patient there—I didn’t have the book anymore. At first I thought I’d left it on the roof of the car when I was straightening the towel for the dog, so I said to the corpsman who was helping the chiropractor, oh darn, I left my book on the roof of the car. I hope nobody steals it. When the appointment was over and I made my long way back to the car, there was no book on the roof of the car, so either someone had stolen it, I figured, or I had left it in the bathroom on the windowsill instead. I wasn’t sure whether I left it on… I know I set it on the roof of the car, but perhaps I picked it up and took it into the bathroom. So I went back into the building and attempted to retrace my steps between 201 and 209 to look for, first, the stairwell I had taken—and that’s another thing that figures in these liminal spaces stories–stairwells. The stairwell I had taken from the first floor to the second floor in one of those buildings, I don’t know which one, had yellow daisies. It was a yellow flower motif painted on the stairwell walls. All of the stairwells have different motifs. So I was looking for the yellow stairwell that I took to the second floor and I couldn’t find it. So I went back and forth all this time looking for that yellow stairwell, couldn’t find it, and I’m passing through these empty hallways, and when I say there were very few patients, the weird thing about White City VA, of course, is that it seems that most of the patients that I’ve seen there are Vietnam or Korean veterans because they’re very elderly and usually in wheelchairs or walkers. I myself am not a spring chicken, but I can walk pretty good. Well, anyway, so that’s the other weird thing about it. The only people you see are elderly. So I’m looking for the yellow stairwell. I can’t find it, and I opened all those doors. I could not find the right ladies room, either, and I, of course, didn’t see the book. So I spent probably an hour and a half combing the hallways of 201-209 looking for a stairwell I couldn’t find and looking for a restroom I couldn’t find and looking for this book that I lost. But here’s the weird thing about the whole experience—I mean, I spent all this time—it was just like a dream. I do have a repetitive dream where I’m searching for something that I can’t find. So I thought to myself, oh my god, this is just like my dream, only it was for real. And it’s true. I couldn’t find it. Here’s how I would characterize it: I lost an object day before yesterday in a very confusing place in a room that I could not locate accessed by a stairwell that apparently doesn’t exist. So that was one weird experience. I wanted to share that with you for some reason. I figured, oh no, this is really going to trigger my dream, but I haven’t had that dream in the last two days. I just had the actual experience. If this prompts anything in you, please share it with us. I’d love to hear back from you. God bless us all, and onward and upward.

Milica asked.Sr: Немања је уздахнуо, али је осетио топлину у срцу.En: Nemanja sighed, but felt warmth in his heart.Sr: "Знаш, није све тако једноставно, али оно што је важно јесте да си ти срећна," рекао је лагано, нежно хватајући њену руку.En: "You know, it's not all that simple, but what matters is that you are happy," he said softly, gently holding her hand.Sr: Осетио је да нису само ветрови који доносе промене.En: He felt that it wasn't just the winds that brought change.Sr: Он и Милица су сада били као нови тим.En: He and Milica were now like a new team.Sr: Док су се враћали кући, ходали су загрљени, остављајући трагове на свежем снегу.En: As they returned home, they walked arm in arm, leaving traces in the fresh snow.Sr: Негација Немање и Милице претворена је у снагу — имао је њен осмех, а Милица је у њему видела оца који ће увек бити ту.En: The doubt of Nemanja and Milica was turned into strength — he had her smile, and Milica saw in him a father who would always be there.Sr: Снежна зима је заиста донела нови почетак.En: The snowy winter indeed brought a new beginning.

After Mount Vesuvius erupted - and original hosts Rome pulled out - the British Olympic council sent a letter, dated 19th November, 1906, agreeing to host the fourth modern Olympic games. With just two years to go, the event was put together hastily, and on a paltry budget; a stadium erected at the White City home of the Franco-British exhibition, and the chosen events ones that British athletes excelled at, including polo, lacrosse, tug of war, deer-shooting, and duelling. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal what a ‘flip-flap' was; consider the calculation done to establish the length of the modern-day marathon; and establish how a small swig of champagne contributed to one of the Games' greatest ever controversies...

Mit "White City (A Novel)" veröffentlichte Pete Townshend 1985 ein sehr persönliches Album. Es erzählt die Geschichte von seiner Jugend und dem Aufwachsen in Londons Sozialsiedlungen. "White City (A Novel)" erschien am 11. November 1985 als das fünfte Solo-Album des Sängers und The Who-Gitarristen Pete Townshend. Mit dem Album reflektiert Townshend seine eigene Kindheit und beschreibt die Welt, aus der er stammt. Der Sänger wuchs in der Nachkriegszeit in West London, in der Nähe des realen White City-Viertels auf. Die Gegend war in der Zeit eine Sozialbausiedlung, geprägt von Hoffnungslosigkeit, Gewalt und sozialer Ungerechtigkeit. Das Foto des Albumcovers wurde tatsächlich auch in diesem Viertel aufgenommen. Pete Townshends Eltern trennten sich, als er etwa fünf Jahre alt war. Da beide Musiker waren und oft unterwegs, musste er bei seiner Großmutter leben. Diese Zeit war für ihn äußerst traumatisch, da er dort emotionale Misshandlung erfuhr. Ende der 1970er- und Anfang der 1980er-Jahre verlor Townshend mehrere enge Weggefährten, was ihn stark prägte und in eine Depression stürzte. Zusammen mit seinen Kindheitserfahrungen verarbeitete er dies zunächst in der Therapie und später auch künstlerisch in "White City (A Novel)". "White City (A Novel)" greift tiefgehende existenzielle und soziale Themen auf und gibt Einblicke in die traumatische Kindheit von Pete Townshend. Für Meilensteine Redakteur Stephan Fahrig ist es ein Album, dass wegen seiner ernsten Inhalte besonders aus dem eher künstlichen Image der 1980er heraussticht. Meilensteine Redakteurin Katharina Heinius sieht das Werk sogar als den Abschluss einer Trilogie, die mit "Tommy" beginnt, mit "Quadrophenia" fortgeführt wird und schließlich in "White City (A Novel)" endet. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "White City (A Novel)" wird im Podcast gesprochen (21:19) – "Give Blood"(36:12) – "Come To Mama"(39:14) – "Brilliant Blues"(45:15) – "Face The Face"(54:47) – "White City Fighting"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "White City (A Novel)" findet ihr hier: https://1.ard.de/pete-townshend-white-city-a-novel __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

The images reveal the remains of a set of possible linear walls with 90-degree angles (as best as can be determined) at their corners that exhibit a high level of symmetry. The hypothesis of artificial design is presented based on an examination of possible artificial and natural mechanisms that could contribute to the structure of the features observed.Terrestrial comparisons of geological structures and geometrical designs are investigated. Further study and additional imaging of the structural components of this enigmatic feature are encouraged.Keywords: Mars; Arabia Terra; square; walls; foundation; mounds; Mars Global Surveyor; MarsReconnaissance Orbiter; Masada; White City; life on Mars; Anomalous Formations on Mars1. IntroductionA Mars Global Surveyor image depicting a square-shaped structure (also referred to in the popularpress as a “square-shaped formation”) was brought to the attention of the first two authors in 2001 by independent researcher Richard C. Hoagland via his Enterprise Mission website (https://www.enterprisemission.org/). This square structure has generated a high level of interest and has been featured in numerous online news programs; however no serious scientific assessment has been offered until now.2. The Square-shaped Structure (Mars Global Surveyor)In November 2001 NASA released an image acquired by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS)camera E10/00462. The image was taken in the winter, during the early morning hours with a resolutionof 6.3 meters per pixel (Mars Viewer, MGS, 2001). The original orientation of the image was inverted,with south toward the top; it shows exposed material within a crater that includes a feature that appears tobe square-shaped structure (Figure 1). The square-shape is offset with opposite corners aligned in a northsouth direction. The northern corner of the formation consists of an L-shaped wall-like structure that ispartially buried by debris. The western and southern corners are visible, while the eastern corner appearsto be covered by fine-grained deposits in this image; the western corner also appears to be covered tosome extent with fine-grained deposits (note that “fine-grained” is a relative term in this context, giventhe resolution of 6.3 meters per pixel). A detail of the area is provided in figure 2, showing the outline ofthe square-shaped walls and linear impression.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

He was no longer Herman Mudgett—he was H.H. Holmes, and Chicago was his playground. As the city prepared for the glittering World's Fair of 1893, Holmes began constructing something far darker: a hotel designed not for comfort, but for control, cruelty, and death. Step inside as we follow Holmes' arrival in Chicago, and the rise of his sinister empire in the shadow of the White City.Vote for Halley to become the "FACE of HALLOWEEN" here (until Sept. 2nd) :https://faceofhalloween.org/2025/heidi-2Patreon members get ad free content, early access and exclusive bonus episodes Paid supporters, Join us for Macabre Movie Nights and Game Nights : Macabre PatreonSend in your stories for a future listener episode!Email us at thatssomacabre@gmail.comJoin our private Facebook Group at : MacabrePodcastGet Macabre Exclusive Merch @ www.gothiccthreads.comJoin us on Discord: https://discord.gg/AgB7kgQMSOURCES:https://guides.loc.gov/chronicling-america-h-h-holmeshttps://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/h-h-holmeshttps://www.loc.gov/resource/rbc0001.2015gen22698/?sp=1&st=slideshow&utmFranke, David.

Episode 373: In the shadowy annals of North American crime, few names evoke as much dread as H.H. Holmes, a master manipulator, a conman, and a predator who thrived in the chaos of a rapidly changing world and the man often called America's first serial killer. Born Herman Webster Mudgett, Holmes's reign of terror began in Chicago, where he constructed his infamous “Murder Castle”—a labyrinth of hidden rooms, trapdoors, and secret passageways designed to lure and dispatch his victims during the bustling days of the 1893 World's Fair. But Holmes's evil did not respect borders; his murderous path would ultimately stretch into Canada. During his murderous career, in 1894, Holmes claimed the lives of his accomplice, Benjamin Pitezel, 38, and three of his youngest victims, Benjamin's children: Howard Pitezel, 8, in Indianapolis, and, later in Toronto, Pitezel's daughters, Alice Pitezel, 15, and Nellie Pitezel, 11. Their tragic deaths in a quiet Toronto neighbourhood forever linked Holmes's legacy to both sides of the border. Sources: The Holmes-Pitezel case by Frank P Geyer | Internet ArchiveH. H.

Hour 3 of Baskin and Phelps with Tom Withers filling in for Jeff Phelps

Saturday 19th of December 1992 at 2:20pm, behind a wooden hut at White City bus depot off Caxton Road in Shepherd's Bush, the body of 32-year-old successful Peter Wickins was found, he was naked except for a pair of socks and had been stabbed 19 times. The Police assumed because he was a millionaire dressed in a tuxedo and that his Rolex watch was missing, that it must be a robbery gone wrong. But it led to a story which was much darker, as one of life's winners... met one of life's losers.Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

My special guest is Kate Winkler Dawson here to discuss her new book American Sherlock about America's first and greatest forensic scientist.  Get her book on Amazon.   From the acclaimed author of Death in the Air ("Not since Devil in the White City has a book told such a harrowing tale"--Douglas Preston) comes the riveting story of the birth of criminal investigation in the twentieth century.   Berkeley, California, 1933. In a lab filled with curiosities--beakers, microscopes, Bunsen burners, and hundreds upon hundreds of books--sat an investigator who would go on to crack at least two thousand cases in his forty-year career. Known as the "American Sherlock Holmes," Edward Oscar Heinrich was one of America's greatest--and first--forensic scientists, with an uncanny knack for finding clues, establishing evidence, and deducing answers with a skill that seemed almost supernatural.   Heinrich was one of the nation's first expert witnesses, working in a time when the turmoil of Prohibition led to sensationalized crime reporting and only a small, systematic study of evidence. However with his brilliance, and commanding presence in both the courtroom and at crime scenes, Heinrich spearheaded the invention of a myriad of new forensic tools that police still use today, including blood spatter analysis, ballistics, lie-detector tests, and the use of fingerprints as courtroom evidence. His work, though not without its serious--some would say fatal--flaws, changed the course of American criminal investigation.   Based on years of research and thousands of never-before-published primary source materials, American Sherlock captures the life of the man who pioneered the science our legal system now relies upon--as well as the limits of those techniques and the very human experts who wield them.Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio]

Our card this week is Ralph Salazar and Alice Griego, the Ace of Hearts from Utah.Back in October of 2023, we were contacted by one of Alice Griego's son, Frankie, about covering his mother's case. He was a listener of The Deck and had previously heard us cover cases in Utah. Unknown to him, our reporting team had already flagged his mother's case as one we needed to take a closer look at. Not just because it was unsolved, but because we felt it had never received the full coverage it deserved. And we are confident someone out there knows the truth. Maybe it's time for that someone to come forward…If you have any information about the murders of Ralph Salazar and Alice Griego in December of 2012 in White City, Utah, please contact Salt Lake County Sheriff's Detective Ben Pender at (385) 468-9816 or email him at bpender@saltlakecounty.gov. View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/ralph-salazar-alice-griego Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.Instagram: @thedeckpodcast | @audiochuckTwitter: @thedeckpodcast_ | @audiochuckFacebook: /TheDeckPodcast | /audiochuckllcTo support Season of Justice and learn more, please visit seasonofjustice.org.The Deck is hosted by Ashley Flowers. Instagram: @ashleyflowersTikTok: @ashleyflowerscrimejunkieTwitter: @Ash_FlowersFacebook: /AshleyFlowers.AFText Ashley at 317-733-7485 to talk all things true crime, get behind the scenes updates, and more!
