About Box Number Seven

Forged in the fire of a childhood addiction to mystery, trivia, and answers to questions that are seemingly never asked.From History, to Mystery, missing persons to the conspiratorial aside. Throw in some eschatology and intrigue, and maybe something interesting comes out the other side.But generally, I'm appropriating the Genre of "Historical Intrigue."I can be reached at: boxnumberseven@yahoo.com

episode What in the Dickens? A look at my favorite Christmas Film artwork

What in the Dickens? A look at my favorite Christmas Film

In October of 1843, the literary genius Charles Dickens sat down to embark on what was in its original intent a cold, calculated business venture, intended to offset impending financial losses. While his previous works, The Pickwick Papers and The Old Curiosity Shop had risen to meteoric levels of sales and positive critical acclaim, other works like Barnaby Rudge and Martin Chuzzlewit had conversely registered numbers far less in magnitude than the author had originally expected. This left Dickens slightly bewildered and uncomfortable--and somewhat compromised—as his business partners of the day were tightening the pressure on him to produce a palatable work. And one that would make it to press by that December. He had absolutely no idea how deep an emotional chord his little story would strike with the ordinary citizen—a simple story of redemption. Today, I would like to discuss what is arguably the most famous of all the works of Charles Dickens—A Christmas Carol—and a few of it’s cinematic offshoots, adaptations and transmogrifications. On Box Number Seven.

episode Swinging in the Wind: The Lynching of the Ruggles Brothers artwork

Swinging in the Wind: The Lynching of the Ruggles Brothers

In May of 1892, John and Charles Ruggles conspired to rob a Wells Fargo Stagecoach just outside Shasta Ca. A man would be killed in the process and by July a clandestine community of men would circumvent the judicial process. Right or wrong, the moment cast a pall over California--as the photographic remnant would be disseminated worldwide. Further speculation about there the stolen gold was, might be or is goes on every today. On this episode, I am joined by Ryan McCloskey, most recently appearing on Discovery Channel's Expedition Unknown with Josh Gates, to discuss the dispositional theories of the loot. Inquires about the information accrued, interviews or so forth can be sent to boxnumberseven@yahoo.com [boxnumberseven@yahoo.com] Ryan McCloskey can be found on Instagram: @Redding_cemetery_tours Ryna was featured on Discovery Channel's "Expedition Uknown".

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
