• REMEMBERING I LOVE LUCY

  TV history was made in 1951 when the first episode of I Love Lucy aired on CBS starring a fiery red head Irish actress named Lucille Ball and her real life husband, Cuban American band leader Desi Arnaz as New York City apartment dwellers Lucy and Ricky Ricardo. The show would air 6 years, making #1 in ratings 4 of those years, and breaking single episode viewer ratings twice- once when Lucy announced she was pregnant, and again when she went to the hospital to have their baby.  Today we remember the show, the cast, the techniques and inventions that DesiLu Productions gave to the  television industry., and most of all the millions of laughs the Lucille Ball and company gave  and still give to viewers.

• JACK JOHNSON VS THE GREAT WHITE HOPE AMERICAN BOXING HISTORY REVISITED

  On July 4th, 1910. in Reno, Nevada, a fight for the Heavyweight Championship of the World took place between Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries. Jack Johnson was a black man- the first black man to hold the heavyweight title in boxing, which he had won two years before. His lifestyle was, by 1910 standards, flagrant- he was frequently seen acting indecently in the company of white blond prostitutes, he drank and gambled to excess, and he liked fast sports cars. In the past two years a number of white boxers had tried him and all of them had lost. In 1909, white boxing fans turned toward a retired heavyweight champion named James L. Jeffries, naming him "The Great White Hope". You have two ringside tickets waiting...... Get all of our shows at one website:www.bestof1001stories.com REVIEWS NEEDED .

• THE JFK ASSASSINATION COVER-UP: THE REPORTER WHO KNEW TOO MUCH-DOROTHY KILGALLEN

  Full Transcript at  https://www.bestof1001stories.com/show/1001-heroes-legends-histories-mysteries-podcast/ In light of the recent release of thousands of previously classified documents concerning the Kennedy Assassination we present an in-depth look at the aftermath, which left investigators wirth the murder of the assassin Lee Harvey Oswald by strip club owner Jack Ruby, who was said to be heavily in debt to the New Orleans mafia, and the suspected murder by poison of journalist and popular tv game show contestant Dorothy Kilgallen, who was only reporter to interview Ruby twice, and who said she was close to busting the investigation of the Kennedy conspiracy wide -open.  Many, many details as shared by "The Reporter Who Knew Too Much" author Mark Shaw and others lead to the sensible conclusion that Dorothy was murdered for what the mafia suspected she knew.  Our guest writer, researcher, and voice talent is Gizelle Erickson. Reviews appreciated! FYI   How many reporters who spoke with Jack Ruby ended up dead? Reports vary on the exact number of journalists who interviewed Jack Ruby and later died, and the circumstances of their deaths are sometimes disputed. However, some prominent cases often cited include: Jim Koethe: A journalist for the Dallas Times Herald who interviewed Ruby and was planning to write a book about the case. He died on April 23, 1964, allegedly from a karate chop to the neck.  Bill Hunter: Another journalist who interviewed Ruby. He reportedly died the same day as Jim Koethe, April 23, 1964, from the accidental discharge of a weapon in a police station.  Dorothy Kilgallen: A crime reporter for the New York Journal. She secured a private interview with Jack Ruby during his trial. Kilgallen died in November 1965, with the official cause of death ruled as an accidental overdose of alcohol and barbiturates . It is important to note that these deaths have fueled numerous conspiracy theories, with some claiming they were murdered due to their knowledge or investigation of the JFK assassination and Jack Ruby's role in it. However, official investigations have attributed their deaths to other causes, and the veracity of claims related to their alleged murders remains controversial.

• THE LEGEND OF THE THREE MARYS (PT. 2)

  When Mary Magdalane, Mary Salome, and Mary Cleopas landed on the shores of pagan France with their group of faithfuls- they had a mighty task to accomplish.  Taking refuge under a Roman Temple- they began to preach the word of Jesus- simple and pure, 350 years before Catholicism. Legend says that she brought with her The Holy Grail, and that after her death it was kept safe from invading Saracens and the armies of the Pope's Inquisition. Even the German Nazis joined in the search, convinced thata group of early believers called Cathars had buried it in the catecombs beneath their mountain fortress at Mont Segur. Join us as we sort through a milennium of legends from Southern France to find traces of Mary Magdalene's legacy and the Holy Grail.

  Finally!  The incredible two part story beginning with the journey of "The Three Marys"- Mary Magdalene, Mary Cleopas, and Mary Salome- and their group of believers in a rudderless boat with no sails as they are cast adrift in the Mediterranean Sea after being exiled from Judea by enemies of Christ after his crucifixion. They survive to land on the coast of France and begin to spread the word of Christ in its most basic form. Part Two,   traces the legends that have sprung up all over Southern France- legends that Mary brought with her The Holy Grail, stories of the Cathars- a large group of followers that made their home and fortress in the foothills of the Pyrenees, rejected Catholicism, and were nearly wiped out by Catholic forces bent upon their destruction, the story of Otto Rahm, the Nazi archeologist who combed the Cathar ruins for the Holy Grail, and the stories of the other exiled passengers on that boat, including Lazarus, Mary Salome, Mary Cleopas, Sidonius, Joseph of Aramathia, and Maximinus- all who would preach the gospel of Jesus to the pagan worshippers that lived under the shadow of Roman occupation.
