Three generations of women owned and operated a millinery business in Brattleboro for over 75 years during the eighteen and nineteen hundreds.  One of the women, Mary Donnell, also spent a great deal of time representing the interests of the seamstresses and female factory workers who were supposed to benefit from the Thompson Trust.  Here's the story...

👑 Elisabeth of Austria and Eugénie of France were more than royal icons—they were revolutionaries in silk gowns.
In our latest Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview series episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with acclaimed historian and author Nancy Goldstone about her riveting new book, The Rebel Empresses. It’s a dual biography that traces the intertwined lives of two women who refused to be footnotes in the grand story of European empire.
Elisabeth (known as Sisi) and Eugénie were married into power, but they never conformed to it. They pushed boundaries—from challenging court politics to redefining women’s roles in public life. One became the fashion icon of her age; the other quietly reformed prisons, promoted women’s education, and preserved a nation’s cultural identity.
Yet both women lived through unimaginable personal sorrow. Nancy’s storytelling reveals their complexity—not as tragic figures, but as bold, often misunderstood agents of change. For listeners 50+, their stories remind us it’s never too late to be influential, purposeful… even radical.
📚 Whether you love women’s history, European politics, or simply a good story well told, this episode is worth your time. Nancy Goldstone’s research, wit, and passion shine through every minute.

The Rebel Empresses: Elisabeth of Austria and Eugénie of France

Uploading a techno track about Hiroshima and Nagasaki is an extraordinary thing to do. This is a big thing we can't forget about.
The techno track is released at LEZAMAboy Recordings.

I then donated this track to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in Japan!
 
This music was created to help all the people in the world so we all can remember this terrible and horrifying incident on 6 to 9 August 1945, when the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Well hello everyone, and welcome to Season 3 of the Common Man! This year we are changing it up a little bit. Instead of our usual talk about what's happening in the world of sport, we are peering into the archives to bring you a series on the greatest sporting dynasties in history. Each week, one of us will bring a new (well, old) story of sporting grit, sweat, triumph and silverware. So come join us for this nostaligia filled ride!

This week's episode is all about the Australian Test team's world record breaking run of wins from 1999-2001. From Warne's return from injury, to the rise of Justin Langer... and Colin 'Funky' Miller... the Australian's did it all in the test arena over a 2 year span.
