JollyRoger is set to release its newest single, ‘Band of Brothers, ’ on December 9th, 2022. The song is a story of loss in the fishing community and was written by Dorian Arnold who is the Aunt of JR’s Mandolin player / vocalist - Samantha. It describes the heartbreak of people not returning from sea and tells the tale of those left behind with delicate acoustic guitar moving to an emotive and powerful electric guitar solo, reminiscent of ‘Zombie’ by the cranberries. Dorian Arnold (the songwriter) holds the subject matter very close to her heart, she says: ‘Throughout the '90s, I dated a Newlyn man, an ex-fisherman, & I spent a lot of time with the close-knit fishing community there. The loss of the Margaretha Maria with all 4 of its crew haunts me still, & I am reminded of those sad days every time I hear a news report of another missing boat somewhere off the shores of the UK. Those lost boats, their crews, the grieving families & friends are what inspired me to write this song.’ The music video features Jolon Williams, whose father was one of the lives lost on the Margaretha Maria, and will be released alongside the single. JollyRoger is working with the Fishermen’s Mission to donate all physical and digital download sales to their cause of supporting fishing communities throughout the UK.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Dr. Jud Newborn served as Founding Historian and co-creator of New York’s Holocaust museum (Museum of Jewish Heritage). An acclaimed multimedia lecturer, storyteller and erstwhile undercover operative, Newborn is co-author of the now classic Sophie Scholl and the White Rose, currently in a 3rd, special 75th Anniversary edition marking the execution of these incredibly courageous White Rose anti-Nazi student resisters in 1943. Newborn recounts in the book and his programs how Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans - former fanatical Hitler Youth leaders, the latter arrested for a teen gay relationship - transformed uniquely to become the greatest heroes of the German anti-Nazi resistance. Forming the secret "White Rose" with a handful of determined comrades, they issued a staccato burst of six impassioned, eloquent leaflets calling out against Nazi crimes from 1942 to 1943, stymieing an embarrassed Gestapo and outraging Hitler himself.  Forcing Germans to confront the Nazi mass murder of Jews, they ended Leaflet Four with these words: “We will not be silent! We are your bad conscience! The White Rose will not leave you in peace!”  On February 18, 1943, Hans and Sophie Scholl mounted a gallery high above the University of Munich’s vast atrium and tossed down hundreds of leaflets into the hands of astonished students. It was the only fundamental public protest by Germans against Nazism as a whole ever to be staged. Quickly captured, they were subjected immediately to a show trial - and summarily beheaded. But their message lived on after the war and has only grown in importance, especially as we face the rise of White Nationalism, antisemitism and the extreme right wing today.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

A relentless detective and an amateur genealogist solve a haunting cold case—and launch a crime-fighting revolution that tests the fragile line between justice and privacy. In November 1987, a young couple on an overnight trip to Seattle vanished without a trace. A week later, the bodies of Tanya Van Cuylenborg and her boyfriend Jay Cook were found in rural Washington. It was a brutal crime, and it was the perfect crime: With few clues and no witnesses, an international manhunt turned up empty, and the sensational case that shocked the Pacific Northwest gradually slipped from the headlines. In deep-freeze, long-term storage, biological evidence from the crime sat waiting, as Detective Jim Scharf poured over old case files looking for clues his predecessors missed. Meanwhile, 1,200 miles away in California, CeCe Moore began her lifelong fascination with genetic genealogy, a powerful forensic tool that emerged not from the crime lab, but through the wildly popular home DNA ancestry tests purchased by more than 40 million Americans. When Scharf decided to send the cold case’s decades-old DNA to Parabon NanoLabs, he hoped he would finally bring closure to the Van Cuylenborg and Cook families. He didn’t know that he and Moore would make history. Genetic genealogy, long the province of family tree hobbyists and adoptees seeking their birth families, has made headlines as a cold case solution machine, capable of exposing the darkest secrets of seemingly upstanding citizens. In the hands of a tenacious detective like Scharf, genetic genealogy has solved one baffling killing after another. But as this crime-fighting technique spreads, its sheer power has sparked a national debate: Can we use DNA to catch the murderers among us, yet still protect our last shred of privacy in the digital age—the right to the very blueprint of who we are?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Neurodivergent, young Dwight Skinner considers his mental challenges to be a superpower, but it's a pure bloodline that will put him in danger. When a tragic event brings a mysterious Romani neighbor, Mr. Mortimer, out of seclusion and into the Skinner family's lives, Dwight and his emotionally overloaded mother find an unsuspecting protector in this dark whisperer. Death and horrific secrets trail the unfolding life of Mr. Mortimer's past, and questions soon arise as to who has the more sinister of intentions, Dwight or the "Gypsy" he unconditionally trusts. The whispers have the answer.Whispers of a Gypsy brings fear back to horror and psychological suspense the way we remember classic Stephen King and Thomas Harris novels, while adding Patten's trademark penchant for hair-raising twists and capturing some similarities to current horror favorites of Alma Katsu, Stephen Graham Jones, and Gabino Iglesias.Note: Whispers of a Gypsy is a story about how purity of heart dies in a world of hate. Using the word "Gypsy" refers to members of the Romani people (and/or their sub-groups Roma, Sina, etc.). The G-word, however, is pejorative. It is used in this case for conscious correction and to relate to an Auschwitz-Birkenau Camp book and the over 500,000 Romani killed by the Nazis. This group was one of the foremost peoples who suffered inhumane tests while in the camps. Na bister 500,000Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Hosted on Acast.
