A 19th-century empress chases eternal beauty, while a 20th-century thief risks everything to steal her crown jewel. Their fates are fixed to the same dazzling treasure: a perfect cluster of diamonds, the Sisi Star.
Empress Elisabeth of Austria loves that star. She uses it to defy the rules of her time and carve out her own legacy of beauty and power. Its pursuit drives her to her very limits.
And when petty crook Daniel Blanchard spies the jewel, it's the challenge he's been waiting for. His plan to steal it is high-stakes: a daring night-time parachute jump. If he can get his hands on the star, he knows it will launch him into the criminal big-leagues.
His exploits unleash a relentless game of cat-and-mouse, as a determined police team tracks Daniel across continents – even as time and again he vanishes from their grasp. But how long can Sisi’s star stay lucky for Daniel?
A Most Audacious Heist is a gripping tale of ambition, risk and obsession, as host Seren Jones tracks the empress and the thief across two centuries, to find out just how far they'll go to get what they desire.

Story Girl: The Life of Lucy Maud Montgomery is a 7-part narrative series about the beloved author of Anne of Green Gables.
Lucy Maud Montgomery once wrote that biography is a “screaming farce,” adding that the best biographies give only a two-dimensional portrait of its subject, while everyone has a half-dozen “different sides.” Aware of this fool’s errand, we're leaning in, and examining the different-sidedness of Maud. Each episode explores her personal triumphs and struggles, her creative inspirations, and the ways in which her "scribblings" left a lasting impact on literature and culture.

Ferdinand Magellan stood at the bow of his flagship Trinidad in the winter of 1520, scanning the forbidding coastline of what is now southern Argentina. Behind him lay a mutinous crew, dwindling supplies, and the weight of two monarchies' expectations. Ahead stretched an unknown passage that might—or might not—lead to the Pacific Ocean. Like many visionaries throughout history, Magellan possessed a peculiar combination of brilliance and stubbornness that would either change the world or destroy him. In his case, it would do both. Born into the minor Portuguese nobility around 1480, Fernão de Magalhães (later hispanicized to Ferdinand Magellan) developed an early fascination with the intersection of geography, navigation, and possibility. As a young page in Queen Leonor's court, he spent hours studying the latest maps and charts arriving from Portuguese explorers. These weren't just documents to him; they were invitations to imagine what lay beyond their edges. "The world is round," he would later write in his navigation notes, "but our knowledge of it remains flat." This fundamental insight—that theoretical understanding must be tested against physical reality—would drive his later achievements and ultimately reshape humanity's understanding of global geography. Like many innovators, Magellan's greatest strengths emerged from apparent setbacks. His relatively humble noble status meant he had to earn advancement through merit rather than birthright. This fostered both practical skills and an outsider's willingness to challenge conventional wisdom. Early service in the Portuguese navy taught him not just navigation and command, but the crucial art of managing men in extreme conditions—though his later choices would suggest these lessons were imperfectly learned. His first major expeditions took him to India and Malaya, where he participated in the capture of Malacca in 1511. More importantly, these voyages exposed him to the complex reality of the spice trade. He learned that the most valuable spices came from islands that lay somewhere beyond the known maps. This knowledge, combined with his study of geography and navigation, led him to a revolutionary hypothesis: these islands could be reached by sailing west from Europe, through a hypothetical passage south of the American continent. The idea wasn't entirely original—other navigators had speculated about such a passage. What set Magellan apart was his unique combination of theoretical knowledge, practical experience, and sheer determined belief that made him willing to risk everything to prove it. When the Portuguese king rejected his proposal, Magellan made the fateful decision to offer his services to Spain, Portugal's chief rival. It was a choice that would mark him as a traitor to some, but it illustrated a key aspect of his character: he was more loyal to his vision than to any nation. The Spanish court of Charles V provided fertile ground for Magellan's ambitions. Spain was eager to challenge Portuguese dominance in the spice trade, and Charles was intrigued by Magellan's argument that the valuable Spice Islands might lie within Spain's hemisphere according to the Treaty of Tordesillas. Here again, Magellan demonstrated the innovator's ability to align personal vision with institutional interests. The preparation for Magellan's expedition revealed both his genius for technical detail and his sometimes difficult personality. Like Leonardo da Vinci preparing his war machines or Steve Jobs obsessing over the iPhone's interface, Magellan immersed himself in every aspect of the venture's planning. He personally supervised the refitting of his five ships, introducing innovations in how they were caulked and waterproofed. He insisted on bringing multiple sets of replacement sails, tools, and navigation instruments—decisions that would later prove crucial to the expedition's survival. His attention to detail extended to provisioning. The supply list he prepared reads like a renaissance-era survival manual: 21,380 pounds of bread, 5,000 pounds of salted pork, 200 barrels of sardines, 420 pounds of salted fish, 250 pounds of oil, and enough wine to last three years. He also insisted on stocking items specifically for trade: 500 pounds of brass bracelets, 2,000 bells, and thousands of glass beads. This wasn't just good planning; it reflected his understanding that exploration required both survival tools and diplomatic currency. But Magellan's precision with technical matters was matched by a certain tone-deafness in human relations. When Spanish officers were appointed to his crew—a political necessity given that this was a Spanish expedition—he treated them with a coolness that bordered on contempt. He conducted meetings in Portuguese and favored his Portuguese companions in assignments of responsibility. "He trusts more in these Portuguese, his relatives and friends, than in those who were assigned to him by Your Highness," one Spanish captain would later complain to King Charles. These tensions came to a head even before the fleet left Seville. Spanish officers questioned his route plans, suggesting he was secretly planning to betray Spain to Portugal. Magellan's response was characteristic: he simply ignored them. Like many visionary leaders, he seemed to believe that success would ultimately vindicate his methods. It was an attitude that would have fatal consequences. The fleet finally departed on September 20, 1519: five ships carrying 270 men from a dozen nations. The Trinidad, Magellan's flagship, led the way, followed by the San Antonio, Concepción, Victoria, and Santiago. As they sailed southwest across the Atlantic, Magellan revealed another characteristic of innovative leaders: the ability to adapt theory to reality. His original navigation plans had called for staying close to the African coast before crossing to South America. But reports of Portuguese ships waiting to intercept him led to a bold change of course. He instead took a route far out into the Atlantic, using his understanding of wind patterns and currents to guide the fleet. It was a decision that demonstrated both his practical knowledge and his willingness to defy convention. The crossing revealed another side of Magellan's leadership style. Unlike many captains of his era, he believed in sharing knowledge rather than hoarding it. He held regular meetings with his pilots and captains, teaching them his methods for calculating latitude using the sun's altitude. But this transparency had limits—he kept his own charts closely guarded and never revealed the full extent of how far he intended to sail. When the fleet reached the coast of Brazil, Magellan's complex character again came into play. His handling of a crisis at Port São Julião demonstrated both his tactical brilliance and his ruthless streak. Faced with a mutiny led by Spanish officers who wanted to turn back, he acted with decisive force. He had the ringleader, Juan de Cartagena, marooned and executed another leader. Yet he also showed mercy to the ordinary sailors who had been caught up in the revolt, understanding that he would need their skills and loyalty for the challenges ahead. This pattern—brilliant innovation combined with interpersonal conflicts—would define the expedition's most crucial phase. As they began their search for a passage through the continent, Magellan showed remarkable patience. Unlike earlier explorers who had given up after brief searches, he methodically explored every promising inlet along the South American coast. This persistence was matched by an almost mystical confidence. When asked how he knew there was a passage, he reportedly replied, "I have seen it in the treasury of the King of Portugal in a map made by Martin of Bohemia." The discovery of the strait that would bear his name came on October 21, 1520. Like many breakthrough moments in the history of exploration, it emerged from a combination of careful planning and serendipity. The fleet had been methodically exploring a deep bay when they noticed strong currents—a sign that this might be more than just another inlet. Magellan's response revealed his innovative approach to gathering intelligence: he sent two ships ahead to scout while keeping the rest of the fleet in a defensive position. When the scout ships didn't return after two days, the Spanish officers assumed the worst. But Magellan, showing the same intuition that had characterized his earlier decisions, sensed a breakthrough. When the ships finally returned five days later, their crews were ecstatic. They had found not just a passage, but one that continued as far as they had explored. The strait was real. What followed demonstrated both Magellan's greatest strengths and fatal flaws. The passage through the strait took 38 days, an extraordinary feat of navigation through treacherous waters where steep cliffs created unpredictable winds and currents. Like a chess master thinking several moves ahead, Magellan organized a system of signal fires to keep the ships in contact and established regular anchor points for regrouping. Yet during this crucial period, he lost one of his most important assets: the San Antonio, his second-largest ship, deserted and returned to Spain. The ship's pilot had become convinced that the passage was a dead end and the expedition doomed. Magellan's response to this setback was characteristic—he simply pressed on, even though the desertion meant the loss of a significant portion of his supplies. The Pacific crossing that followed would test his leadership abilities to their limit. Magellan had conceived of the ocean beyond the strait as a relatively small body of water—an understandable error given the geographical knowledge of his time. Instead, his fleet faced a crossing of nearly four months, far longer than any European voyage had previously attempted without resupply. His management of this crisis revealed both brilliance and blindness. His technica

On a late March evening in 1989, the Exxon Valdez, an oil tanker owned by the Exxon Shipping Company, spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil into Alaska’s Prince William Sound.
At the time, it was the largest single oil spill in U.S. waters. It covered 1,300 miles of coastline and killed hundreds of thousands of seabirds, otters, seals and whales.
The world thought that was the end of the story. But there’s so much more to what happened that night in Alaska.
Our newest podcast reinvestigates the Exxon Valdez spill 35 years later, bringing new voices, new information and new stories to one of history’s most infamous environmental disasters.
With a background in health, science, and climate reporting, host Gordon Katic immerses listeners into one of the darkest days in marine history.
We hear from scientists and fishers who form unlikely friendships and unfold the trauma of how an oil spill impacts the environment, economy, and people as they fight against Big Oil.
Slick Science: The toxic legacy of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill is a collaboration between Cited Podcast and Canada’s National Observer.

Perché ci dovremmo abituare a considerare le guerre e la barbarie che abbiamo sotto gli occhi, come eventi inevitabili e perfino «naturali»?
In che modo le notizie e le informazioni su questi temi, tendono a nascondere e travisare la verità e a farci convivere con le tragedie?
Perché la guerra e la distruzione delle forze produttive, dell’uomo e della natura, rappresentano il DNA del capitalismo?
Esiste un’alternativa? È possibile aprire un futuro all’umanità e all’ambiente naturale nel quale viviamo?
Attraverso documenti, dati e testimonianze, il podcast indipendente di Alberto Pian aiuta a vedere oltre la «cultura di massa» e l’ideologia mainstream diffusa dai grandi mezzi di comunicazione, fedeli a un sistema che ha fatto il suo tempo, che rimette seriamente in causa l’esistenza dell’umanità e del suo stesso pianeta.
