Box Number Seven

History EN ↓ 64 episodes

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."

Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and why I have no recent appreciable content 08.12.2024

On today's podcast,I engage in the mortal error presented to any c ontecbnt maker that has nothing redeemable to say: I talk about myself. I also chronicle my odd track through the world of entertainment, and how card tricks as story-telling medium have been wonderful to me--and others. I also mention Aregentinian magician, the late Rene Lavand, and the trick that kicked off my desire to use these...

Jimi Hendrix showed you the way to escape materialistic thinking. Will you take it? 28.11.2024

Live from Kaleidoscope Coffee: Why did I name the Podcast like I did? 10.11.2024

Today, I go ahead and fill in the explanatory blanks as to why I called the Podcast "Box Number Seven." I also clarify that Apocalypse Coffee is a real company and that I love them.

Bonus: My Unsolicited Affinity For Apocalypse Coffee 09.11.2024

I had my first taste of apocalypse coffee on November 5th. Election Day. That's right. All my fear and loathing was offset by their amazing Anti-Matter blend. And while the commercial here is foolish, my advocacy for them is not. Apocalypse Coffee Music from #Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/dive-in License code: KGVGLTIQFZ1OVPMJ

Spoilers. They Spoil Stuff 08.11.2024

Not a lot of need for elaboration here.

Lincoln's Death Photo and the Peanut Gallery Haters 02.11.2024

A few years ago, Discovery Channel aired a documentarians foray into the validity of a single photograph—one in which it is claimed that sometime during the morning of April 15th, 1865, Photographer Henry Ulke and his brother were granted access to an expired president and take an Ambrotype, potentially leveraging a copy as a bribe for the man guarding the bedroom—George Valentine Rutherford. I fo...

The Shroud of Turin--Real, or Tomfoolery at its finest? 30.10.2024

On this ever-exciting broadcast, we discuss the more contemporary findings about the world's most fascinating relic--the Shroud of Turin, and discuss the evidence in support of it possibly being the genuine, unadulterated, uncompromised and unparalleled evidentiary specimen to the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Mark Twain's 1869 critique of the relic industry is cited, along with the de...

Austen's Pride: A discussion--live from Kaleidoscope Coffee 27.10.2024

I have an instagram: @boxnumberseven. FOLLOW THE SHOW. Local theatrical troupe (is that the right word) performed Austen's Pride --a new musical of Pride and Prejudice. A wonderful, creative, and parallel take on the original. In this episode, I talk about the cast, crew and the local value as well as the larger role for this wonderful adaptation.

Is Paganini to Blame For Yngwie Malmsteen? 25.10.2024

In this weeks, episode, we examine the life and career of one Nicolo Paganini--the violinist whose abilities and legendary persona remain unmatched--and also his influence on modern, neoclassical firebrand, Yngwie Malmsteen. I also evaluate a 1 to five "Satanic index rating" for the infernal influences attributed to both men. I also engage in rank foolishness. Because it's my podcast. Enjoy

ALERT: PODCAST NAME CHANGE. LIVE FROM KOLEIDOSCOPE COFFEE 20.10.2024

After some serious rumination, contemplation, sublimation and the side effects of nuclear-grade espresso at Kaleidoscope Coffee, I have decided that a name change is in order. Look, I'm new at this and need to feel good about the aesthetic. The content, however, will not be changing. Give my friends at Kaleidoscope a follow: @kscope_athens.

Nikki Cheng Saelee McCain and the "Papini Effect" 18.10.2024

NOTE: The title of this podcast will be changing. A bonus show will explain this. Nikki Cheng Saelee-Mccain is still missing from my hometown, since May, 2024. Someone knows where she is. Did the high-profile Sherri Papini case have any effect on the community's level of involvement? A question worth asking at least. But the ultimate question is: Where is NIKKI? Anyone who may have information reg...

Stealing Lincoln's Body 16.10.2024

Three shadowy figures entered the Oak Ridge Cemetery in July of 1876 for one purpose: to steal the Body of President Lincoln. We examine the events around this time, and how an eleven year gap between assassination and such a plot added to the intrigue.
