The Bowery Boys NYC History: #87 The Kings of New York Pizza
New Yorkers are serious about their pizza, and it all started with a tiny grocery store in today’s Little Italy and a group of young men who became the masters of pizza making. In this podcast, you’ll find out all about the city’s oldest and most revered pizzerias — Lombardi’s, Totonno’s, John’s, Grimaldi’s and Patsy’s in all its variations. But if those are the greatest names in New York-style pizza, then who the heck is Ray — Original, Famous or otherwise? (www.boweryboyspodcast.com)

The Bowery Boys NYC History: #103: Case Files of the NYPD
We’re playing Good Cop / Bad Cop this week, as we take a close look at four events from the early history of the New York Police Department. You’ll meet shining stars of the force like Jacob Hays, who kept the peace in the early 19th century armed with a mean billyclub — and the only man to ever hold the title of High Constable of New York. And then you’ll encounter Joseph Petrosino, the Italian immigrant turned secret weapon in the early battles against organized crime.
Not all the early men in blue were so recommendable. During the Police Riot of 1857, cop turned against cop while the city burned and "Five Points criminals danced in the streets." And finally there’s the lamentable tale of officer Charley Becker, the only member of the New York Police Department to be executed for criminal misdeed. But did he really commit the crime — commissioning the murder of a nervous gambler who was prepared to rat him out? (http://theboweryboys.blogspot.com/)

PodCastle 125: The Whistling Room
Featuring Carnacki, the Ghost Finder
by William Hope Hodgson
Read by Paul S. Jenkins
“‘The whistling started about ten o’clock, on the second night, as Ibsaid. Tom and I were in the library, when we heard an awfully queer whistling, coming along the East Corridor–The room is in the East Wing, you know.
“‘That’s that blessed ghost!’ I said to Tom, and we collared the lamps off the table, and went up to have a look. I tell you, even as we dug along the corridor, it took me a bit in the throat, it was so beastly queer. It was a sort of tune, in a way; but more as if a devil or some rotten thing were laughing at you, and going to get ’round at your back. That’s how it makes you feel.
“‘When we got to the door, we didn’t wait; but rushed it open; and then I tell you the sound of the thing fairly hit me in the face. Tom said he got it the same way–sort of felt stunned and bewildered. We looked all ’round, and soon got so nervous, we just cleared out, and I locked the door.

Radio Drama Revival: Halloween Horror - “The Cask of Amontillado”
This week Radio Drama Revival starts our fourth annual audio horror extravaganza! Each week you’ll enjoy a new bone-chilling tale courtesy of some of audio’s most talented (and demented) minds…
The sextet we plan to feature are all creators who will be featured on Halloween night, October 31st, from 5pm – 11pm EST for a horror special we’re calling Transcontinental Terror. This gore fest runs from GMT to PST in an expressly terrifying trip – all new horror audio from 3D Horror Fi, Electric Vicuna, FinalRune Productions, Chatterbox Audio Theater, Icebox Radio Theater, and the Willamette Radio Workshop.
Today’s feature is a new effort by the folks behind the Wireless Theater Company – a troupe called 3d Horror Fi (horror-fi… get it?). They’re doing binaural recordings of horror originals and classics… this week it’s Poe’s ever delightful classic, The Cask of Amontillado.
Wear headphones for this one, folks. Listen in, and be prepared to scream! (http://www.radiodramarevival.com/)
