Today’s story takes us to a place of snow, silence, and long polar nights. A place so cold that the ground never truly softens. A place where bodies do not decay the way they should. And a place where, slowly and quietly, dying became illegal.

This is the story of the town that banned death. 

Welcome to Longyearbyen, a small town located on the Svalbard archipelago, far above the Arctic Circle.

Today’s story may sound funny when you first hear its title, and yes, there is something undeniably absurd about it. But behind the laughter lies a very real and deeply human experience.

We are travelling back in time to 18th-century England, to a moment in history that sounds almost unbelievable, yet is completely real.

An Original Story for The Storytelling Podcast

Before we begin, I want you to imagine standing alone at the edge of the world. No city lights behind you. No voices. No certainty that the ground beneath your feet is solid or safe. 

Only the sound of the sea breathing in the dark, and the feeling, deep in your chest, that something far older than you has noticed your presence.

Today I am taking you into one of the darkest and strangest scandals in French history, a case involving poison, witchcraft, forbidden rituals, and secret trials that many powerful people wanted erased forever.

In seventeenth-century France, reputation meant survival, appearances mattered more than truth, and secrets were a form of currency.

Is a real tale of folklore, supertition and a lot of poison. All of this during the court of Louis XIV.

Savannah feels old in a way that goes beyond architecture. It feels heavy, as if the ground itself carries memory.

This is a city that has seen more death than most people realize. Long before ghost tours and haunted hotel rooms, Savannah was shaped by war, disease, slavery, and repeated disaster.

Today I have another long episode, and we are diving into the extravagant, obsessive, dramatic, and often ridiculous life of King Louis the Fourteenth of France, better known as the Sun King.

He did not simply inherit a crown and issue laws. He transformed himself into a living symbol, a political performance so constant and so convincing that France itself began to orbit around his presence.

If you like or love coffee, this is going to be a horror story, the perfect nightmare story for all coffee lovers.

Coffee is so deeply embedded in modern life that most of us never question it. It exists quietly in the background of our routines, waiting on kitchen counters, office desks, and café tables, almost invisible because of how familiar it is. 

This episode takes us to the 18th century, to a place where coffee was not celebrated but criminalized, where cups were confiscated, where people drank in secret, and where a king became so obsessed with proving coffee’s danger that he ordered one of the strangest human experiments in European history.

Tonight’s episode is going to be a very long one, because it is not about one theft, but about 20th Century Heists.

This is a journey through time, across countries and decades, exploring some of the most famous, audacious, and baffling thefts ever committed.

Thank you to all of you who sent the stories and requested this episode.

Some mysteries come from silence, from absence, from places where something clearly happened, yet nothing was left behind to explain it. 

The Lost Colony of Roanoke belongs to that category of history, not because it is dramatic in the traditional sense, but because it is disturbingly quiet.
