BLACK SAM BELLAMY AND THE WRECK OF THE WHYDAH (AND BONUS EPISODE) May 06, 2018

Show notes

"Black Sam Bellamy and the Wreck of the Whydah" tells the story of the notorious pirate Sam Bellamy, who, according to Forbes Magazine, acquired more stolen wealth than any pirate in his time. He was only involved in piracy for one year, 1716-1717, but was remarkably successful, and had accumulated a wealth of treasure. According to Cape Cod legend, he, upon setting out upon his voyages, had fallen in live with a 16 year old girl named Maria Hallett who he promised he would return to as a wealthy man. She became pregnant, accidentally killed her baby, and was imprisoned for neglect, going crazy through it all. Sam returned, and was just off the coast where she was staying when a storm struck and his ship went down. As the years went by, the legend that his ship had contained riches faded and disappeared, until 1984, when a treasure hunter named Barry Clifford found the wreck containing 4 tons of silver and gold.

REMEMBERING THE BLUES BROTHERS Apr 04, 2018

Show notes

REMEMBERING THE BLUES BROTHERS: On April 22,1978, Saturday Night Live's Paul Schaffer announced an R&B act featuring two unknown blues artists, Joliet Jake E.Blues and Elwood J Blues- who went by the name The Blues Brothers. When the live audience saw them run out to the stage, they instantly recognized Dan Akroyd and John Belushi, and for one short moment the crowd, and millions of tv viewers, thought that a comedy act was going to follow. But their driving performance of "Hey, Bartender", with a first class band behind them, left no doubt that The Blues Brothers was here for good. It was a big moment in their careers, and for all those who witnessed that performance and the many to come, it was America's Best of Times.

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES: UFO'S & BLACK OPS, CATTLE MUTILATIONS GOV, ALIEN OR BOTH? Apr 01, 2018

Show notes

"Unsolved Mysteries: Cattle Mutilations, UFO's & Black Ops" reveals the story of the still unsolved 10,000+ cattle mutilations which have been taking place in the U.S. for over 50 years, and the efforts by both the FBI and independent investigators to come up with the reason cattle are being cruelly killed in a manner that does not fit the pattern of a natural or predatory death. From the first publicized mutilation in 1967, reports of UFO's in the areas immediately near the mutilations, strange horse and cattle deaths indicating that the animals had been drained of blood and then dropped from the sky, and later numerous witness reports of black helicopters and government intervention, combined with strange goings on at military bases in New Mexico, have left three intensive FBI and ATF investigations with more questions than answers.
