Hello everyone! As noted on the show, I am retiring on 1 October, and today's show is our last meal together. Unfortunately, The Sound Kitchen is retiring too – I will not be replaced. We've had a great time together all these years, haven't we? Click here to listen to past Sound Kitchen podcasts.   I know you will all stay loyal to RFI English – our service has so much to offer. We're small, but my colleagues are firebrands! For example, we have wonderful podcasts: Spotlight on France, with journalists Alison Hird and Sarah Elzas; Melissa Chemam's insightful Spotlight on Africa, and our International Report, usually sent to us by one of our foreign correspondents. We also have an award-winning bilingual series – an old-time radio show, with actors (!) – to help you learn French, called Les voisins du 12 bis. Remember, podcasts are radio, too! As you see, sound is still quite present in the RFI English service.  Please keep checking our website for updates on the latest from our team of journalists. You never know what we'll surprise you with! To listen to our podcasts from your PC, go to our website; you'll see “Podcasts” at the top of the page.

At the top of the page, click on “Test level”, and you'll be advised on the best-suited activities for your level, according to your score. Do not give up! As Lidwien van Dixhoorn, the head of the “Le Français facile” service, told me: “Bathe your ears in the sound of the language, and eventually, you'll get it”. She should know – Lidwien is Dutch and came to France hardly able to say “bonjour,” and now she heads this key international award-winning RFI department – so stick with it! For the quiz on 7 February: I asked you a question about the 68th annual Grammy Awards that took place on 1 February. You were to re-read our article “French DJ wins Grammy for Lady Gaga remix” and send in the answer to this question: Which six artists were given “Lifetime Achievement” awards? The answer is, to quote our article: “On Saturday evening, Nigeria's Fela Kuti was posthumously awarded a lifetime achievement award, becoming the first African artist to receive the distinction. The king of Afrobeat was one of several artists to receive the award, including Cher, Whitney Houston, Carlos Santana, Paul Simon and Chaka Khan.” In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question, suggested by RFI Listeners Club member Alan Holder from the English Isle of Wight. Alan's question was: “What would be your ideal gift from your best friend or spouse? Why?”  The winners are: RFI Listeners Club member Mohamed Elsayed Abd Elraheim from Elsharkya, Egypt. Mohamed Elsayed is also this week's bonus question winner. Also on the list of lucky winners are RFI Listeners Club members Hans Verner Lollike from Hedehusene, Denmark; Helmut Matt from Herbolzheim, Germany; Kashif Khalil from Faisalabad, Pakistan, and last but not least, gentle Debashis Gope from West Bengal, India. Congratulations winners! For the quiz on 14 February: That week, I asked you a question about the Benin Bronzes, the trove of Nigerian sculptures and artifacts that were looted by colonial powers. One of the most well-known organizations working for the return of these works is in Nigeria: it's the National Commission for Museums and Monuments – the NCMM- which requested the return of bronzes from Britain that were looted from the Kingdom of Benin during the British Benin Expedition of 1897. Some of the sculptures date to the fourteenth century, but the bulk of the collection dates to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. And that week, the NCMM had a win, as my good colleague Melissa Chemam noted in her article: “Cambridge University museum set to return Benin bronzes to Nigeria”. You were to re-read Melissa's article and give the details of the artefacts to be returned. What did Melissa name in her article about the Benin Kingdom artworks that went home to Nigeria? The answer is, to quote Melissa: “Among the returned bronzes that will travel in the coming months are wood and ivory sculptures, as well as commemorative heads of King Oba and Queen Mother Lyoba Idia. The term ‘Benin bronzes' refers to objects crafted from brass and ivory as well as bronze, which were seized during the colonial-era military expedition.” The bonus question you answered that week was: “What do you know after all these years? What have you found are important life truths? The winners are: Faithful RFI Listeners Club member Jayanta Chakrabarty from New Delhi, India. Jayanta is also the bonus question winner. Also on the list of lucky winners are RFI Listeners Club member Nasyr Muhammad from Katsina State in Nigeria, as well as RFI English listeners M. Ganesan from Goa, India, and three listeners from Bangladesh:  Rafiq ul Islam from Naogaon, as well as Abdul Mannan and Mahfuza Akhter, both from Chapainawabganj. Congratulations winners! Here's the music you heard on this week's programme: “Minor Swing” by  Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli, performed by the composers with Le Quintette Hot Club de France; "Water No Get Enemy" by Fela Kuti, performed by Fela Kuti and Africa '70; “The Cakewalk” from Children's Corner by Claude Debussy, performed by the composer;  “L'hymne à l'amour” by Edith Piaf and Marguerite Monnot, sung by Edith Piaf, and “I Wish You Love” by Charles Trenet and Léo Chauliac, performed by Laufey with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra conducted by Hugh Brant. With much affection from The Sound Kitchen team – Erwan Rome, Paul Myers, and yours truly, Susan Owensby - fare thee well!

Britain's small boats saga has had a dramatic week. Wednesday saw 781 people arrive in Britain, the highest number of the year, while on Monday a dingy carrying 60 migrants was met at sea by the far-right activist ‘Danny Tommo'. Protests have since engulfed parts of the south coast, but why is this all happening now? And what can the government do to get a handle on it?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

Bonjour, et merci d'avoir écouté cet épisode.Bon… 1969 fut quand même une année compliquée à traiter, notamment à cause de la qualité parfois très moyenne des extraits et de la difficulté à trouver certaines archives en français.J'aurais aimé pouvoir mettre davantage de choses sur les manifestations de plus en plus importantes aux États-Unis contre la guerre du Vietnam, par exemple, mais il faut parfois savoir faire des choix… et surtout composer avec ce qu'on arrive à trouver !Bon, par contre, j'ai définitivement abandonné l'idée de faire tenir une année en 80 minutes. Ce sera donc simplement le titre du podcast… et certainement plus un objectif !

It's a tough time in the football for our Petersfield sides right now as the men are knocked out of 2 cup competitions last week and the women's side are looking for their first point since being bumped up 2 divisions to Hampshire Division 2 last season. It's back to league action for the men this week as they take on tough opponents Hamble away on Tuesday and then welcome Brockenhurst to the Smartspaces Stadium on Saturday. the Shine Radio team were at the game petersfieldtownfc.co.uk . As for women's side, it's a tricky fixture against a gritty Romsey side. There's no 2 ways of saying it but Liss are in freefall just now and points are rare as are goals. Can they turn around their fortunes as they play an out-of-sorts side in Crofton Saints at the West Leigh stadium. https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/lissathletic/. Liphook United are arguably our most in form side as it stands although predicting which side turns up at matches is a bit of a fool's game. But in Denmead they have another great chance of picking up all three points. https://www.liphookunitedfootballclub.org/ . We have hockey news for you as both the men's and women's sides look for early form. The women are involved in a 10 goal thriller against West Meon and our men's team travel overseas to Isle of Wight https://www.petersfieldhockeyclub.com/ . And we take a look at Petersfield Rugby clubs chances of success in 2026/7 as their delayed league campaign will begin at home on Saturday the 26th September soon to be followed by the women's historic return to competitive sport. https://www.petersfieldrfc.club/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the quiz on 31 January: You were to listen to our podcast “Spotlight on France”, the brainchild of my colleagues Alison Hird and Sarah Elzas. I hope you listen to it regularly, it's really quite good. On their programme number 138, Alison reported on La Ménardière, an alternative living arrangement for seniors in the village of Bérat, close to the southern French town of Toulouse. The aim of the project is for seniors to live and grow old together, contributing to society for as long as possible, and to delay – or avoid – the moment when people are forced into institutional care. The answers you were to send in were: How many residents can live at La Ménardière, and what is the selection process? The answer is, to quote Alison: “La Ménardière can house up to 20 residents. The selection process to become one is rigorous. Candidates stay for trial weekends and, if they decide to join, they must then complete a six-month probation period.” The bonus question you answered that week – suggested by Murshida Parvin Lata, the co-chairman of the Sonali Badhan Female Listeners Club in Bogura, Bangladesh – was: “Which daytime temperature do you prefer: cold or hot? Why?” The winners are: RFI Listeners Club member Father Steven Wara, who lives and serves in the Cistercian Abbey in Bamenda, Cameroon. Father Steve is also the winner of this week's bonus question. There's long-standing RFI Listeners Club member Zenon Teles, who is also the president of the Christian – Marxist – Leninist – Maoist Association of Listening DX-ERs in Goa, India, as well as another faithful Sound Kitchen listener – and club member – Radhakrishna Pillai from Kerala State, also in India. Moving over to Bangladesh, Anjana Parvin – she's the secretary of the very active Shetu RFI Listeners Club in Naogaon. And last but not the least, club member and my fellow dinosaur, Alan Holder, from England's Isle of Wight. Congratulations winners! Here's the music you heard on this week's programme: “Take the A Train” by Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington, performed by Duke Ellington and his orchestra; the “AFCON 2025 Official Intro Theme – Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025” by Othmane Laaouina; “What a Wonderful World” by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss, sung by Louis Armstrong; “The Cakewalk” from Children's Corner by Claude Debussy, performed by the composer, and “Étincelles”, Op. 36, No. 6 by Moritz Moszkowski, played by Alexander Zhou.

Natasha is a year-round wild swimmer, qualified Stand-Up Paddleboarding instructor, freelance travel writer, and outdoor adventurer with a deep love of water in all its forms. Based in Suffolk, she is also a volunteer for the Bluetits Chill Swimmers and an Ordnance Survey Champion. Natasha's journey into the outdoors began early, swimming in the sea as a child, but like many people, her connection to sport and adventure faded during her 20s and 30s. It wasn't until her 40s that she rediscovered the water, found her community, and stepped into a completely new chapter of adventure. In this episode, Natasha shares how she went from feeling like she wasn't "outdoorsy" to becoming immersed in wild swimming and paddle boarding, including getting involved with inclusive swimming communities, discovering cold water swimming, and building confidence in outdoor spaces. She opens up about being diagnosed as autistic in her 40s, and how understanding herself better helped her find her tribe and her confidence. We also talk about her progression into Stand-Up Paddleboarding, from early lockdown experiments to completing endurance challenges such as the Race to the Castle, and preparing for a 162-mile coast-to-coast SUP journey across England. Natasha shares what it's really like training around work and family life, the realities of cold water swimming, and why time on the water has become so important for her wellbeing. Alongside her adventures, Natasha is also the author of the upcoming guidebook Swimming Wild in London and South East England, featuring 100 incredible swimming spots across beaches, rivers, lakes, lidos, and hidden wild locations. Listen to this episode to hear how Natasha found confidence through cold water and community, why it's never too late to become an adventurer, and how simple steps—like saying yes and asking for help—can open the door to a whole new way of living. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

This week, I'm around 30% of the way through the first draft of Seven of Swords and talk about how the story is progressing as I get deeper into the book.I've also spent some more time on Wyvern Academy, adding three new chapters to the first act and continuing to develop the story beyond the original Wyvern Rider novella.On the reading side, I've finally finished Will Wight's Cradle series.

​Jeremy Kyle reacts as hundreds of protesters have clashed with police in Portsmouth after a mega-dinghy carrying 140 migrants reached the UK from Normandy.Around 500 demonstrators are believed to have joined a protest in the area on Sunday night, with some dressed in all black – similar to those who joined an anti-illegal migrant protest which blocked the Port of Dover on Saturday.The large boat of migrants – believed to be the longest-ever Channel crossing by people-smugglers – was intercepted in the Solent between the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth earlier on Sunday.It comes as only one in 100 asylum claims are genuine, according to a whistleblower who has revealed widespread fraud and dysfunction in the system.

This week, I'm around 40% of the way through my draft of The Hammer and the Crown, book five in my Ravenglass Legends series. The story is gathering momentum, and I talk about how the draft is progressing as I move deeper into Ragnar and Maja's next adventure.I've also returned to an older project, Wyvern Academy, a follow-up to my Wyvern Rider novella for Patreon. On the reading side, I'm nearing the end of Will Wight's Cradle series. I'm now on the final book and have been hugely impressed by how the series has developed. Wight has done a fantastic job of building the characters, escalating the stakes and improving his craft across twelve books while keeping the story compulsively readable.

La mañana de este martes 25 de agosto de 2026 comenzó a puro humor y resistencia en Ritoque FM. En un "Martes Apocalíptico" marcado por lloviznas matinales en Valparaíso, Francisco Marambio y Nicolás Argyros abrieron los fuegos enfrentando un severo colapso técnico en la consola. La emergencia fue salvada por el radiocontrolador Angelito, quien le dio a Marambio a elegir entre seguir en la "prehistoria" de un solo canal o dar un "salto cuántico" reiniciando el equipo. El momento cumbre ocurrió cuando Angelito desplegó sus "alas peludas" y le ofreció su pecho a Marambio para cobijarlo antes de presionar el botón de encendido, desatando la ironía y las burlas de Nicolás, quien comparó la escena con las esculturas del Renacimiento. El fango sentimental se apoderó del estudio cuando Nicolás apareció sufriendo con un par de zapatillas nuevas que le apretaban a los lados. Tras revisar cuatro insólitos métodos caseros para ensancharlas —desde meter bolsas Ziploc con agua al congelador hasta usar diario mojado—, Marambio recordó la estocada romántica más dolorosa de su vida: la vez en que, discutiendo en la calle con una expareja hace 15 años, ella le espetó con brutalidad: "¿Sabes qué eres tú? Eres el par de zapatos más lindo que tengo, pero no me los pongo porque me aprietan". Nicolás no dudó en celebrar la genialidad de la expareja y trolear a Marambio durante el resto del bloque, sumado a las bromas por el aniversario de la comuna de Hijuelas y el debate sobre la mística relación de la dupla. En el bloque del "Martes Apocalíptico", desglosaron una lista de noticias de culto: la revocación masiva de 200.000 visas en EE.UU., la respuesta satírica de Irán adjudicándose California tras los dichos de Donald Trump, y la abolición de la pena de muerte en el Líbano. El impacto local llegó al analizar los encuentros sexuales masivos (cruising) detectados en el Parque Metropolitano —lo que dio pie a bromear sobre cómo se conocieron por una app de citas con un filtro engañoso donde Nicolás figuraba como "DJ Locochón"— y la insólita explosión en el Hospital Gustavo Fricke de Viña del Mar por una pipa de oxígeno. Todo esto cerrado con un monumental spoiler de Marambio a Nicolás sobre Breaking Bad y el concurso por dos almuerzos dobles en el Rincón de Martín a propósito del Festival de la Isla de Wight. ¿Quieres escuchar la desquiciada conversación completa? ¡Haz clic en el reproductor y no te pierdas ningún detalle en Ritoque FM!

This week, I've finished Six of Swords and sent it off for editing, bringing another Ravenglass Chronicles novella to the next stage of production.I've also made good progress on The Hammer and the Crown, book five in the Ravenglass Legends series. I'm now around 25,000 words into the draft as Ragnar and Maja's story continues.I also talk about my ongoing readthrough of Will Wight's Cradle series. I'm currently on book eight, Bloodline, and thoroughly enjoying it. One of the things that has stood out is how much Wight's craft develops as the series progresses, particularly in terms of pacing, character work and handling an increasingly large story without losing momentum.

This week I'm recording from Ibiza and Sophie is back from the Isle of Wight. I'm so excited to share some news about Harvey with you all.

Many people think there aren’t non-LDS temples, but that’s not true. When Joseph Smith was assassinated in 1844, the restoration did not just fracture geographically—it shattered the unified theology of the temple. While the LDS Church went on to build a massive global network of private temples, several other branches of the restoration developed highly unique, surprising, and divergent temple traditions of their own. https://youtu.be/AiIf0-7mOIE Don’t miss our other conversations on temples: https://gospeltangents.com/mormon_history/lds-temples/ In this presentation to the Book of Mormon Perspectives Forum, Gospel Tangents host Rick Bennett explores the fascinating history of “Divergent Temples” across different restoration groups: The Wightites (Texas): Led by Apostle Lyman Wight, this group built the first temple west of the Mississippi in Zodiac, Texas, in 1849—nearly 30 years before the St. George Utah Temple. Shockingly, Wight’s temple endowments were completely open to the public. To secretly practice polygamy, women in the group used their maiden names on both the census and during proxy baptisms to avoid government detection. The Strangites (Wisconsin & Michigan): Led by James Strang, who claimed an angel ordained him as Joseph’s successor on the day of the martyrdom. Strang established the “Order of the Illuminati,” which featured mysterious, phosphorus-anointed initiations that culminated in Strang being crowned as the “king in Zion.” The Cutlerites (Missouri): Founded by Alpheus Cutler, the seventh member of Joseph Smith's original Quorum of the Anointed. Today, a dwindling number of Cutlerites in Independence, Missouri, still perform temple work on the private second floor of their building. Scholars believe their endowment ceremony is the most unchanged version since the 1840s. However, to distance themselves from polygamy, they reject sealings for the dead while continuing to perform sealings for the living. Whether you are interested in historical mysteries, theological evolutions, or the Masonic roots of early endowment dramas, this episode offers an eye-opening look at how different restoration groups have sought to build holiness to the Lord. 00:00 Introduction 04:13 Nauvoo Temple Origins 12:14 Groups That Kept Nauvoo-Style Temples

In episode 142 we reach the final part of our journey across the Ghost Island — and now, the stories become stranger still. The Isle of Wight is not only home to hauntings of history and landscape, but to phenomena that defy every category: phantom villages, impossible pubs, figures half formed, landscapes where time behaves unpredictably, forests that watch, ancient stones that seem to remember, and churches where voices sing long after the choirs have fallen silent. And at the very heart of this high strangeness lies one of Britain's most baffling and unsettling encounters — a being that was not a ghost, not a cryptid, not an alien… and not easily dismissed. A figure so bizarre it has become legend all on its own. So join me, as we step into the island's deepest mysteries, and confront the questions that haunt its lonely paths, its ancient hills, and its darkest stories. And together, for the final time… let us ask: just how haunted is the Isle of Wight? Support How Haunted? by subscribing and leaving a review.

We go pond jumping this week and head to the Isle of Wight for one of the strangest paranormal encounters ever reported: All Colours Sam, better known as the Sandown Clown.In 1973, two children claimed they met a nearly seven-foot-tall, three-fingered, three-toed, ghost-like humanoid living in a metal hut near Sandown Airport. Normal British stuff, we are pretty sure. Sam wore a pointed yellow hat, spoke through a strange device, said he was “a ghost in an odd sort of way,” and somehow managed to make eating berries look like advanced alien surgery.So what was All Colours Sam? An extraterrestrial? A robot? A folkloric entity? A man in a costume? Or one of the most bizarre childhood stories ever to escape into UFO and cryptid lore?We break down the full encounter, the witnesses, the weirdest details, what believers think happened, what skeptics say, and why the Sandown Clown mystery is still confusing paranormal researchers more than 50 years later this week on Hysteria 51.SourcesBUFORA Journal, Vol. 6, No. 5, Jan/Feb 1978 – “Ghost or Spaceman '73?”Internet ArchiveThink Anomalous – The Sandown “Ghost Clown,” 1973Think AnomalousOnTheWight – All Colours Sam, aka Sam the Sandown ClownOnTheWightOnTheWight – The Sandown Clown: Exploring Sam, the Isle of Wight's Surreal 1973 EncounterOnTheWightBBC Radio 4 / Uncanny – Cold Cases: Case 5: The Sandown ClownApple PodcastsOnTheWight – BBC Sounds and Cease to Exist Podcasts Turn Their Attention to All Colours SamOnTheWightSpooky Isles – The Sandown Clown: Fact or Fiction?Spooky IslesWeird Darkness – The Sandown Clown: All Colours Sam and the Isle of WightWeird DarknessIsland Echo – The Sandown Clown Returns to the Isle of WightIsland EchoBedtime Stories – The Sandown ClownThe Sandown ClownShrouded Hand – The Sandown Clown Incident: A Creepy Encounter With an Unknown EntityThe Sandown Clown IncidentEmail your Contest Entries to:ForthHandmedia@gmail.comEmail us your favorite WEIRD news stories:weird@hysteria51.comSupport the ShowGet exclusive content & perks as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 from just $1ShopBe the Best Dressed at your Cult Meeting!https://www.teepublic.com/stores/hysteria51?ref_id=9022See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In episode 141 our journey across the Ghost Island continues, but now, the hauntings shift from grand houses and grim institutions to something deeper and more unsettling: the landscape itself. On the Isle of Wight, the very ground holds memory. Botanic gardens grown over a sanatorium where countless patients drew their final breath. Tunnels beneath the earth where footsteps still echo long after the workers who heard them have gone. Cliffside inns shaped by smugglers, sailors, and centuries of coastal danger. Ruined hotels where the walls seem to watch. And offshore, ships that sank long ago still appear in the mist, sailing silently against the wind. These are ghosts not tied to a single room or corridor, but to earth, stone, sea, and sky. The island itself becomes the haunted thing. So join me, as we wander deeper into its shadowed valleys and storm battered coast, and ask yet again… just how haunted is the Isle of Wight? Support How Haunted? by subscribing and leaving a review.

We're back in our moment-by-moment timeline of British broadcasting's early days, and it's just after the BBC's first birthday... 16 November 1923: Sheffield 6FL becomes the BBC's first relay station, rebroadcasting programmes from Manchester. But will there be original local content too? What of Sheffield's pre-BBC radio station? And is it coincidence that '6FL' could link to 'Fred Lloyd' - the man who made Sheffield broadcasting possible? Was it not he who marched into BBC Chief Engineer Peter Eckersley's office and said: "Have you heard the wireless in Sheffield? It's like an insurrection in hell!" ...Discover the truths, the maybes, the pioneering moments and the hidden history of this long-ignored station, from our Newspaper Detective Andrew Barker, who I'm convinced knows more than anyone on the planet about the Sheffield relay station 6FL, and what came before it. Plus exclusive rare audio from Harry Lloyd in 1968, talking about how he and his dad began it all. We're so grateful to today's BBC Radio Sheffield and Sheffield City Archives for permission to share this clip, with an insight into not only how Sheffield broadcasting began in 1923, but the first days of local radio when that interview was broadcast on BBC Radio Sheffield, just months into its existence as the second local radio station of the modern era. Thanks to Fred Lloyd, the Sheffield station achieved far more than the history books might let on - bringing the first educational broadcast to schools before the BBC, and the first broadcasting bishop. A few key dates of Fred Lloyd and the Sheffield station's story, thanks to Andrew Barker... 20 Oct 1922: Fred Lloyd becomes President of the Sheffield and District Wireless Society, unusually giving his inaugural speech by radio from his home, to a packed hall of 800 members - facing an empty stage with just a loudspeaker. 31 Dec 1922: The Bishop of Sheffield, the local MP and a local newspaper editor broadcast from Fred Lloyd's home. That's the first bishop on air! 21 March 1923: Britain's first broadcast to schools, three of them in Sheffield, thanks to Fred Lloyd. 12 April 1923: BBC Chief Engineer Peter Eckersley visits Sheffield, and tests are carried out. Will the BBC take it over? (Yes.) The relay idea is born days later. 9 July 1923: Test transmissions begin at the university, again thanks to Fred Lloyd. 14 August 1923: The first attempt at relaying another station. 17 August 1923: Fred Lloyd says he hopes local programming continues, despite the relaying of other stations. Will it? 1 Sept 1923: Local newspapers run the Sheffield station for an evening. 13 Sept 1923: Fred Lloyd gives the experimental station's farewe... oh that would be spoiling it. You'll have to listen. 16 Nov 1923: Sheffield 6FL opens, under the BBC banner. ...So that's where we are in our timeline. Coming up on the podcast: November 1923 continues with transatlantic broadcasting, relays from France, early drama, an upcoming election, and BBC's first Muslim broadcaster.

July is on course to be the driest in Wales for almost 190 years. It means that North Wales and the Upper Severn catchment are the first areas in the UK to be declared officially in drought, this year. So far this month they've seen less than two per cent of the usual rainfall. Natural Resources Wales says river levels are approaching all time lows after a series of back-to-back heatwaves, with impacts on wildlife and soil. In South East England, Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight have been moved into 'prolonged dry weather' status which is one step away from drought. That won't be news to farmers and growers in the area where some veg businesses are already investing to adapt to the 'new normal'. Barfoots grow broccoli and sweetcorn, amongst a long list of crops, for the supermarkets. The company's spent a million pounds on a new reservoir, at its farm near Chichester, which holds 28 million gallons of rain water supplemented by recycled treated water from their factory. Barfoots Commercial Director tells us the company is looking at building more reservoirs to store winter rainfall, to use in increasingly hot and dry summers.Farmers have a crucial role in cleaning up one of the UK's most polluted river systems and could save themselves money in the process, according to a new study. The eastern and western Cleddau rivers in Pembrokeshire flow through farmland which produces as much as 25% of Wales' milk. Researchers from Lancaster University found the area's farms were buying in more fertiliser and processed animal feed than needed, causing a build-up of phosphorus in the soil and polluting waterways. Now dairy farmers are working out their "nutrient footprint" to help tackle the problem.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear Recently, there have been reports throughout the media that FBI files concerning a UFO sighting reported by three Anoka, Minnesota, police officers have been declassified and are available at the National Archives. Remarkably, almost none of the media outlets covering the story provide a link to the actual document with the exception one news outlet, KARE 11, which was kind enough to provide a pdf with one of the FBI documents and related material from Americans for Safe Aerospace and the National UFO Reporting Center.There is an article by Conor Wight on the CBS News site (updated May 28, 2026) headlined “Newly declassified FBI documents detail UFO sighting by Anoka officers — and one of them filmed it.” Wight is with CBS Minnesota and starts his story with this: “Buried within the National Archives is an unexplained sighting from right here in Minnesota.”Buried is an apt description, as the documents were quite hard to find in the National Archives Catalogue, but a search within “Group 16: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection,” brought us to records from the FBI, which led us to the files related to the Anoka case, which are the top three in a series of six results. Read more →CONTACT AND SUPPORT

Robyn Hitchcock is my best on this episode of That's How I Remember It. Robyn has a great new book out called Stranded in the Future, which details his life in the years between 1968 and 1978. He also has an excellent new record The Confuser, which is his 25th solo record. We talked about all of that as well as his ability to remember birthdays, astrology, writing hungover, Trout Mask Replica, seeing Dylan at Isle of Wight in 1969, spanners, and much much more. I was thrilled to have the chance to talk to Robyn and it turned out great. Listen and subscribe!

In tonight's dead letter… three families lived in the same old house across the years, none of them knowing each other, and each one wound up sharing the place with the same two ghostly visitors. As kids, our listener Heather and her sister kept seeing a little boy who was never actually there when they looked closer. The adults saw someone different — an old man, solid enough that Heather's stepmother screamed for her father, certain a stranger had walked in. The corroboration of everything shows up in the form of a psychic.REFERENCE LINKSRelated Astonishing Legends EpisodesAstonishing Legends — The Sallie House: Ghost in the Machine, Part 1 (Spotify)Astonishing Legends — The True Story Behind the Conjuring, Part 1 (Spotify)Astonishing Legends — Sam the Sandown Clown, Ep 183 (Spotify)Astonishing Legends — The Fermi Paradox, Ep 022 (Spotify)Astonishing Legends — Battle at Cisco Grove, Ep 246 (Spotify)Astonishing Legends — Mantis Men, Ep 258 (episode page)Topic & Background ReferencesPareidolia: why we see faces and figures in random shapes (Britannica)The doppelgänger, the living double of folklore (Britannica)Vic Tandy and the 19 Hz "haunted" frequency of infrasound (Wikipedia)The Sallie House of Atchison, Kansas (Wikipedia)The Perron family haunting, the true story behind "The Conjuring" (All That's Interesting)Sam the Sandown Clown: the 1973 Isle of Wight encounter (OnTheWight)The Cisco Grove alien encounter of 1964 (UFO Casebook)John Keel and the "ultraterrestrials" (Wikipedia)The Fermi paradox: "Where is everybody?"

In episode 139 we return to the Isle of Wight, but this time, we leave behind the haunted manors and family tragedies of part one, and step into something colder. This island is shaped not only by folklore and legend, but by the long shadow of justice, imprisonment, military power, and war. Across these hills stand places where authority ruled with an iron hand. Inns marked by murder. Castles that held kings captive. Hospitals filled with sorrow. Fortresses built in fear of invasion. Lighthouses scarred by wartime tragedy. And coastal batteries where generations of soldiers kept watch over a hostile sea. These are the stories of punishment, duty, confinement, and lives defined by violence and consequence — echoes that many believe still walk the island today.

Nous avons monté l'escalier : oui, c'était émouvant comme l'a dit Christine Dezaunay dans l'épisode précédent. On se retrouve donc sur le palier, un espace dédié à Edouard Manet. Puis nous entrons dans trois pièces très importantes pour Berthe Morisot : la chambre, la bibliothèque et enfin... l'atelier ! La chambre contient plusieurs reproductions de tableaux et notamment le célèbre "Le berceau", certainement le tableau le plus connu de Berthe Morisot.  Les dispositifs qui permettent de découvrir chacune des pièces sont ingénieux comme ce "canapé qui parle" dans la bibliothèque et dans lequel je me suis assise, vous allez l'entendre. Ce canapé permet d'évoquer la relation amicale entre Berthe Morisot et le poète Stéphane Mallarmé.  Enfin, nous entrons dans l'atelier.

//The Wire//2300Z June 16, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: ALLEGED TERRORISM PLOT FOILED AT WHITE HOUSE UFC EVENT. MASS 911 CALL CENTER OUTAGE REPORTED LAST NIGHT. B-52 CRASHES IN CALIFORNIA. RUSSIAN WARSHIP FIRES WARNING SHOTS NEAR YACHT IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-English Channel: This morning a Russian warship engaged a private yacht 20 miles off the coast of the Isle of Wight. The Krivak V-Class Frigate (FFG) Admiral Grigorovich fired warning shots in the general vicinity of privately owned yacht, which did allegedly not heed audible warnings to steer clear, and was approaching their position outside Britain's territorial waters. No damage or casualties were reported during the incident, and two Royal Navy vessels were also on station, shadowing the Grigorovich during the incident.Analyst Comment: The proverbial business appears to be getting out of control on the high seas, and this is the latest escalation to occur in the region over the past few days. Two days ago, the Royal Navy boarded and seized the Russian dark-fleet tanker (the M/T SMYRTOS) in the Channel, continuing the recent trend of NATO members capturing ships smuggling oil from Russia, to the global grey-market. As a result, this little spat could be more along the lines of diplomacy by warning shot.Middle East: As the peace settlement continues to move toward a signing on Friday, the Iranians and Americans are continuing to enforce the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Overnight, at least one vessel was reportedly fired upon by the Iranians for attempting to transit the Strait without prior coordination, however this has not been confirmed by the UKMTO yet.-HomeFront-USA: Yesterday evening mass waves of 911 call center outages were reported. Disruptions to emergency services were noted in Iowa, Arizona, Texas, and Washington due to the outage, and no further details have been provided on the cause of the incident.California: A crash of a B-52 Stratofortress was reported at Edwards Air Force Base during a routine training mission testing a new radar system. The crash reportedly took place immediately after takeoff, and the circumstances of the incident have not yet been disclosed. All 8x members of the crew were killed in the crash.Washington D.C. - Following Sunday's UFC event on the White House lawn, the FBI has released the details of an alleged terror attack targeting the venue. So far, five suspects have been arrested by federal authorities for attempting to carry out a complex coordinated attack at the event. Per the FBI, the attack was alleged to have utilized sniper teams, explosive drones, and a breach of the perimeter fence.Analyst Comment: Right now, very few details have been provided on what would have been one of the most substantial terrorist attacks in recent memory. This would also be one of the very few terror attacks that was foiled ahead of time, and many questions remain regarding the circumstances of this whole affair.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Contradictions also continue regarding the status of the peace deal in the Middle East. Yesterday, President Trump took to social media to explicitly state that the $300 million (sic) payment to Iran that is part of the leaked deal terms, is fake news. However, this morning Vice President Vance flat-out confirmed that the Iranians will have access to a $300 Billion fund, which will be made available to Iran as part of their cooperation in the agreement. As a result of these contradictions, the contents of the peace deal remain up in the air, even though the document has already been digitally signed by all parties, pending the wet signature ceremony on Friday. Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

The incident is believed to have involved the Russian frigate -- Admiral Grigorovich -- and took place between the Isle of Wight and Normandy, outside UK territorial waters. Also: President Trump has delivered a rare public rebuke of Israel at the G7 summit of the world's biggest advanced economies in France. And: In tennis, the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, Serena Williams and her sister, Venus, will return to Wimbledon after being handed a wildcard to compete in the women's doubles.

In episode 138 we head to a place which has been called the “Ghost Island”. This isn't a reputation rooted not in modern gimmickry but in centuries of verified sightings, folklore, tragedy, and lingering energies. It's been claimed that this small island off England's south coast has more paranormal reports per square mile than anywhere else in the UK. This is the first of a very special series of episodes in which we will journey through the island's most haunted manors, ruined forts, former hospitals, pubs, botanical gardens, and ancient landscapes — tracing their histories in rich detail, grounding everything in verifiable accounts, and exploring the ghost stories that have earned the island it's spectral crown.

Un sonido metálico imposible de identificar llevó a dos niños a cruzar un puente en un parque de la Isla de Wight, Inglaterra, y encontrarse cara a cara con algo que jamás pudieron explicar.  Medía casi dos metros, tenía la piel blanca como papel, ojos en forma de triángulo azul y antenas saliendo de la cabeza, las muñecas y los tobillos. Vestía como un payaso grotesco y se movía dando saltos antinaturales, como si la gravedad no funcionara igual para él. La criatura los condujo hasta una extraña cabaña oculta cerca del lago, donde les dijo llamarse “Sam” y aseguró ser “un fantasma… de una manera extraña”.  Durante horas, los niños convivieron con aquel ser imposible, mientras los adultos alrededor parecían incapaces de verlo. Décadas después, el caso del “Payaso Fantasma de Sandown” sigue siendo uno de los encuentros paranormales más desconcertantes y absurdos de la historia moderna.

The Sandown Clown | Paranormal Podcast This episode we dove into one of the strangest and most uniquely bizarre encounters in UK paranormal history, the Sandown Clown, where in May of 1973, two children on the Isle of Wight followed an unsettling wailing sound across a golf course and a marsh, only to find a seven-foot-tall, no-neck, bone-white, three-fingered entity in a yellow pointed hat living under a bridge who dropped a book in a creek, gave them a wave, and then invited them inside his metal shed for what ended up being a very long and surprisingly cordial conversation. We went through every possible theory for what Sam could have been — a very method-acting, very high Ringo Starr filming a movie nearby, an alien scout afraid of humans who found children to be the least threatening study subjects, and Charlie's personal favorite, a Fae entity operating by his own bizarre logic in a liminal space between dimensions, which explains the bridge, the enchantment, the mechanical speech, and why the child just was not scared at all.

In 1293, King Edward I finally got what he wanted: the Isle of Wight. He'd been trying to take it for decades. He had to wait until its owner, Isabella de Fortibus, was on her deathbed to get it. And even then, she made him pay for it. Isabella de Fortibus was a 13th century countess who became one of the wealthiest people in England after a series of family tragedies left her controlling Devon, the Aumale estates in Yorkshire, and the strategically crucial Isle of Wight. Two kings, Henry III and Edward I, spent years trying to force her to remarry and hand over her lands. She said no. Repeatedly. Legally. One suitor actually tried to abduct her, and she bribed a prior and fled to Wales to escape him. She also owned her own personal copy of the statutes of the realm. In the 13th century. A laywoman. And she used it to win dozens of legal battles protecting what was hers. I found Isabella in Medieval Horizons by Ian Mortimer -highly recommend it if you love this kind of deep dive into the medieval world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In 1973, a bizarre encounter allegedly unfolded on the Isle of Wight, involving two children who claimed to meet an odd, clown-like humanoid figure near Sandown, England. Speaking in odd phrases and appearing to inhabit a strange, makeshift dwelling, the being called itself "All Colors Sam," and despite the obscure origins of the tale, it would eventually gain a cult following within the annals of UFO and high-strangeness lore, remembered today as the story of Sam "The Sandown Clown." Joining us this week on The Micah Hanks Program to discuss this case from ufology's "Odd Files" is Ryan Whalen, a Brooklyn-based researcher, science reporter, and college instructor who holds an MA in History and a Master of Library and Information Science with a certificate in Data Science. Whalen, who also co-hosts the podcast "Cease to Exist", reveals what he and his colleagues recently uncovered about this bizarre 1973 urban legend. What new details have emerged about the case, and one of the alleged witnesses to these eerie events that have since become a mainstay in modern UFO folklore?

We take you to the Isle of Wight, where a quiet afternoon turns into something straight out of a fever dream…or a Stephen King novel. Two kids follow a strange, siren-like sound into the woods and come face to face with a bizarre, clown-like entity who introduces himself as “all colors, Sam.” Despite his inhuman movements and unusual appearance, Sam seems friendly, inviting them into his metallic hut and admitting that he's afraid of adult humans. As we dig deeper, the story expands into UFO sightings, with one child's father witnessing glowing lights in the sky and something watching him from beneath the ocean's surface. What starts as a strange childhood memory quickly spirals into a whimsical paranormal mystery that leaves us questioning reality by the end. Watch the video version here.
