    George Washington and the Tale of Ona Judge (REPLAY)

    4 JUL 2024 · What a Creep (Replay!)  Season 20, Episode 7 George Washington and the Tale of Ona Judge https://www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/ is the “Father of Our Country” and one of American history's most revered Founding Fathers. We heard tales of how brave he was and that he could not tell a lie. He also famously refused to create a fiefdom with the office of President, which means we are not stuck with someone in office unless they are duly elected.  Like many white people of his time, he enslaved people. This is a fact, and though not unusual in his peer group--it's not a great look for a person who is enshrined all across the United States. People want to downplay his racism and evil acts. Listening tohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFEaTk--tZo minimize his actions made us realize we need to dive into one of the first President’s most heinous acts by talking about badass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oney_Judge. An enslaved woman who escaped from the President’s home and remained free despite his relentless pursuit of her.  This woman is an American hero whom everyone who truly believes in liberty and freedom needs to learn about and memorialize her contribution to history.  Trigger Warning: Racism and slavery Sources for this episode: https://twistedphilly.com/podcast-2/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washingtonhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4948260/Ona-Judge-The-slave-ran-away-George-Washington.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oney_Judgehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqzUI1ihfpkhttps://www.mountvernon.org/library/digitalhistory/digital-encyclopedia/article/ona-judge/or colonialhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLPT47Ll2Q0&t=139svideo neverhttps://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Never-Caught-the-Story-of-Ona-Judge/Erica-Armstrong-Dunbar/9781534416185https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipnmqh0w-mw&t=4356shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_S7nb7DrmU videohttps://www.whitehousehistory.org/the-remarkable-story-of-ona-judgehttps://www.nps.gov/articles/independence-oneyjudge.htm https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ona-judge-escapes/https://www.beyondthebelltours.com/blog/badass-women-of-philadelphia-ona-judgehttps://www.amrevmuseum.org/events/history-explorers-club-who-was-ona-judgehttps://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/washingtons-runaway-slave-the-liberator-august-22-1845/https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/fugitive-slave-actsNew York Times 2015 op-ed https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/16/opinion/george-washington-slave-catcher.html?searchResultPosition=3 Be sure to follow us on social media.

    The Killing of Dominique Dunne by John Thomas Sweeney & NON-Creep Theresa Saldana "Victims for Victims"

    21 JUN 2024 · What a Creep Season 25, Episode 7 The Murder of Dominique Dunne by John Thomas Sweeney https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001161/known for her role in the 1982 film "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poltergeist_(1982_film)," had a bright future. Tragically, her life was cut short on October 30, 1982, when her ex-boyfriend strangled her, John Thomas Sweeney, outside her West Hollywood home. She never regained consciousness and died on November 4, 1982, at just 22 years old. The trial that followed sparked outrage. Sweeney was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, not murder, and served only three years of a six-and-a-half-year sentence. This lenient sentence highlighted severe flaws in the justice system's handling of domestic violence cases. Dominique's death brought attention to domestic abuse, prompting her family, especially her father, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominick_Dunne, to advocate for victims' rights and legal reforms. Her legacy endures through these efforts and her memorable work in film.

    Baseball Creepy History: The Chicago Cubs Eddie Waitkus Tragedy & NON-Creep Hunter Pence (SF Giants)

    3 MAY 2024 · What a Creep Season 24, Episode 10 The True Crime Story Behind “The Natural” The Eddie Waitkus shooting is a notable event in baseball history. It occurred in 1949 when the popular first baseman (and WW2 hero) for the Philadelphia Phillies was shot by an obsessed fan named Ruth Steinhagen. The incident was a shocking reminder of the dangers of celebrity obsession. Also, it inspired Bernard Malamud's novel The Natural, which was later adapted into a popular film starring Robert Redford (who played a 19-year-old when he was 47 at the time!)
