Game of Thrones and Fast & Furious actor Nathalie Emmanuel presents: Every week father-daughter team Jon and Emily Jordan examine the incredible stories of history’s most powerful female battle leaders, the brilliant methods and maneuvers history’s "killer queens” used to defend themselves and their people from enemy forces—and both father and daughter find out something about each other and how each generation appreciates these incredible women. From ancient Persia to modern-day Britain, experience the daunting thresholds these exceptional women had to cross and the clever, sometimes violent ways in which they smashed obstacles in their paths. History’s killer queens come in all colors, ages, and leadership styles, and from countries and cultures around the world. Elizabeth Tudor and Golda Meir played the roles of high-stakes gamblers who studied maps with an unblinking, calculating eye. Angola’s Queen Njinga was willing to shed (and occasionally drink) blood to establish a stable kingdom in an Africa ravaged by the slave trade. Caterina Sforza defended her Italian holdings with cannon and scimitar, and Indira Gandhi launched a war to solve a refugee crisis.

History
A time machine through the origins of metal music, its connection to darkness and decadence, the lifestyle of many of its followers and how its upped the ante on the phrase "sex, drugs and rock n’ roll." It might be the colossal doom of Black Sabbath, the cutting precision of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden or the graphic lyrics of Slayer, metal is The Devil’s Music. Some fans have fallen under its seductive spell, turning them into rebellious beasts. Bestselling author and music journalist Jon Wiederhorn is your host with insightful and sometimes outrageous interviews with musicians from over 30 years. Take a trip through the tropes of metal and examine — and sometimes celebrate — what makes metal so lasting. Hear from members of Black Sabbath, Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Anthrax, Motley Crue and many more as we hunt down the devil within and discover why it’s okay, and even necessary, to keep metal alive.

Just excellent, Mr. Patterson, thank you so much! I listened on 8/26/2026, and it was so sweet, hearing Dolly and her humble, loving words about people.

I love listening to this podcast. Great conversations with authors and getting to know James Patterson. If I won the $1000, I would use the money to help my daughter with nursing school. She is in the nursing school at University of Michigan. We had the honor to meet you in New York at a Book signing with Bill Clinton and you gave her such advice about continuing to read and it’s one of her favorite memories. She was a big Jacky Ha Ha fan. She is hoping to work in Pediatrics. Thank you for encouraging her to read.

I really enjoy listening to your interviews on the podcast. I would use the $1000 grant to buy copies of the upcoming 2026 Stone Canoe literary magazine published annually by the YMCA Downtown Writers Center in Syracuse NY. This program and classes do wonders to grow the next generation of writers. This edition will have the first publication of my son, Jason Markell. I am so excited and proud! Look out James Patterson.
