#308 Andrew Carnegie and New York's Public Libraries: EPISODE 308 In the final decades of his life, steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie -- one of the richest Americans to ever live -- began giving his money away. The Scots American had worked his way up from a railroad telegraph office to amass an unimaginable fortune, acquired in a variety of industries -- railroads, bridge building, iron and steel. In the age of the monopoly, Gilded Age moguls often made their money in ways we might consider unethical and illegal today. But Carnegie's view of his wealth was quite different than that of his rarefied clubhouse peers Carnegie devoted his latter years to philanthropy, primarily devoting his energies to the creation of libraries across the country. By the late 19th century, the New York City area already had dozens of libraries and reading rooms throughout the future five boroughs.  But they were certainly not welcoming to every person. And those circulating libraries that were available wer

The capital city of Canada’s Quebec province, the city is located on the St Lawrence River, around 500 kilometres from the Eastern coast of Canada, and around 700km northeast of New York City. Founded in July 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, a French explorer, Quebec City originated as Stadacona, a Iroqious Native American settlement, before the arrival of Europeans. A base for the French exploration and colonisation of what would become New France, Quebec remains a hub of French-Canadian culture and history, with French serving as the primary language, as throughout the wider province of Quebec. In 1775, American troops led by Benedict Arnold attempted t

Tue 15 Mar: Atomic Crimes (Part 2 of 2) - Refugees - Binding Contracts - Runit Salute - Early Years - Same Names - New Plans: The added years have changed perceptions of an evil legacy. Sea Gypsies, the dome, and the new nuclear tourism. Much has changed since the late fifties brought new weapons and atoll attacks. Blackouts, sea floors, radioactive pools and the death snow. Operation Hardtack cleanup was underfunded by a distracted Congress. Stateside nuke production and a Missouri story. Argentina's historic nuke fraud. In the Pacific, exiled island natives can rarely return. The familiar names of Robinson and Sinclair appear as original island owners. Forbidden communications or outside visitors is to save the culture. Some recent history brings us full circle. New ideas for isolated islands include prisons for the corrupt and treasonous. Soccer balls in action? Take it all in and consider the true facts, because our nation's nuclear history may shape our future.

#309 What Gets Saved? Landmarks & Historic Districts Explained: They're tearing down your favorite old building and putting up a condo in its place. How can this be? Before you plunge into fits of despair, you should know more about the tools of preservation that New Yorkers possess in their efforts to preserve the spirit and personality of the city. In the 1960s, in the wake of the demolition of Pennsylvania Station and other beloved historic structures, the New York City Landmarks Law was enacted, granting the city powers to protect its most precious endangered places. Walking down the beautiful street and see a brown street sign instead of the usual green? You're in a historic district. But preservation can be a tricky business; after all, the city is basically imposing rules about how someone else’s private property, in most cases, should look and be maintained. How do you preserve the past amid a rapidly changing metropolis In this episode, we present a sort of "landmarking 1

#324 Moving Day! Madness and Mayhem in Old New York: EPISODE 324 At last! The Bowery Boys: New York City History podcast looks at one of the strangest traditions in this city's long history -- that curious custom known as Moving Day. Every May 1st, for well over two centuries, from the colonial era to World War II, rental leases would expire simultaneously, and thousands of New Yorkers would pack their possessions into carts or wagons and move to new homes or apartments.  (Later on, October 1st would become the second ‘moving day’.) Of course, for the rest of the world May 1 would mean all different things – a celebration of spring or moment of political protest. And it would mean those things here in New York – but on a backdrop of just unbelievable mayhem in the streets. There are a few theories about the origin of Moving Day but most of them trace back the Dutch colony of New Netherlands. So why did New Yorkers continue the custom for centuries?
