Über diesen Titel

 FASCINATION is a seasonal exploration that taps into the imagination of podcast creator Angelo D’Agostino – a storyteller whose early life was colored by traditional fables, pop-culture and inherited folklore. The stories that dazzled his early world, set him upon journeys of discovery and fostered a lifelong obsession with the curious and unusual. If you’re new to FASCINATION, start with season one; a ten episode take on the life of screen legend, Marilyn Monroe.Copyright Angelo D'Agostino Sozialwissenschaften

  • A Royal Banquet

    A Royal Banquet
    Nov 16 2021
    What do Tennessee Williams and Herodotus have in common? The story of a woman named Nitocris, a pharaoh, a queen - perhaps entombed or created by folklore itself...but a legend passed on through generations. While disputed (and some would say disproved) it wouldn't be the first time a patriarchal system tried to erase a woman from history completely.

    What is it they say about revenge being best served cold...well, it must have been on the menu - this is a story about a royal banquet where the guests got tanked...literally.

  • A Phantom Train

    A Phantom Train
    Oct 14 2021
    "Did you ever hear of the phantom train?"

    On Saturday September 6th 1879, readers of The Wichita Kansas Herald were treated to a good ol' fashioned ghost story. What set it apart (aside from it being published and republished nationwide) was the type of ghost, the central character to an old railroad switchman's tale - a phantom train. Not just any train, the funerary train of arguably the most important person in United States History...President Abraham Lincoln.

    As mentioned in the introduction, there is an amazing book by author Peter Manseau entitled; The Apparitionists: A Tale of Phantoms, Fraud, Photography, and the Man Who Captured Lincoln’s Ghost. The book explores the influence (and importance) of photography in this particular era - and while unrelated to this particular story, it illuminates a confluence of cultural, technological and sociological factors that might help explain it...

  • Stingy Jack & The Devil in Ireland

    Stingy Jack & The Devil in Ireland
    Sep 14 2021
    As the summer fades and the promised autumnal chill comes creeping, we're reminded of the ghoulish traditions of Halloween...

    Do you know the Irish tale of Stingy Jack? Before you place a candle in your gourd this year...come with me to a sleepy village in the 1700's - where a miserly old blacksmith, with pint in hand and prank in mind - unwittingly seals his fate, forever.

    Park your PSL and gather 'round for a fully realized retelling of the story - a story where we learn that the Devil doesn't always make you do it - when you do it to yourself.

    Special thanks to actor Mark Manning for voicing the authentically Irish - Stingy Jack.
