In 1997, 17-year-old Kristen finished her first year of college at North Carolina State University, but after classes ended, she had no plans to enjoy a lazy summer. Instead, she devised a plan to take another class across the country in California… A few short months to enjoy the Golden State and gain some independence as she entered adulthood.  She was smart, ambitious and had a solid plan.  But just 23 days after she landed in California, she disappeared.   Kristen Modafferi was 18 years old when she was last seen at the Crocker Galleria Mall in San Francisco, California, on June 23, 1997. She is white with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was 5'6” and weighed approximately 140 lbs. She may have been carrying a green Jansport brand backpack with a black mesh pocket on the front. If you have any information, please call the Oakland PD at 510-238-3775.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we're going behind the scenes with two powerhouse early childhood educators who are working to shift school culture from the inside out. Kiley Linnell is the assistant director at one of Little Sprouts' newest schools, and Alexandra Loos oversees systems-wide implementation across 41 programs. Together, we talk about what it really looks like to support teachers in real time—not just with one-off trainings, but with ongoing coaching and real tools that meet them in the moment. We explore how to help educators regulate their own nervous systems so they can show up for kids with patience and connection, and what happens when programs actually have a village behind them. If you're in early childhood or school leadership, this one is packed with takeaways to build a stronger, more sustainable culture. If this conversation sparks something for you, make sure to tell your kids' teachers about the Seed Teacher Summit, going live March 10th to 12th. It's a free virtual event created to give educators the kind of ongoing support we talk about in this episode—tools to help them regulate, connect with kids, and feel less alone in the work. We'll be featuring 18 incredible speakers who share our commitment to building schools where everyone—kids and adults—can thrive. You can learn more at seedandsew.org/summit.

Episode 62: Reading listeners first crushes confession

Today, I'm sharing an episode of The Final Hours, a new Crime House podcast hosted by me, Sarah Turney, and Kourtney Laymance. Listeners of Voices for Justice know how much the framing of a story matters. The Final Hours applies that same scrutiny to disappearance cases by focusing on the hours before someone goes missing. Each episode examines the routines, timelines, and details that often get overlooked once a case enters the public narrative. Together, Kourtney and I bring lived experience into every case, looking not only at what happened, but what led up to it.

fWotD Episode 3218: The Voices of Morebath Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 25 February 2026, is The Voices of Morebath.The Voices of Morebath: Reformation and Rebellion in an English Village is a 2001 non-fiction history book by the Irish historian of British Christianity Eamon Duffy and published by Yale University Press about Morebath, England, during the English Reformation of the 16th century. Using the detailed churchwarden's accounts maintained by Sir Christopher Trychay, the vicar of Morebath's parish, Duffy recounts the religious and social implications of the Reformation in a small conservative Catholic community through the reign of Henry VIII, during the violent 1549 Prayer Book Rebellion, and into the Elizabethan era. Trychay's accounts – first reprinted in 1904 – had been used in other scholarly works and were first encountered by Duffy during research for his 1992 The Stripping of the Altars on pre-Reformation English religion. The Voices of Morebath depicts both Morebath and Trychay through their strong early resistance to the Reformation to their eventual adoption of new religious norms under the Protestant Elizabethan Religious Settlement.The Voices of Morebath was praised for its coverage of ecclesiastical and secular parochial matters, particularly its personal treatment of Trychay. It drew criticism for instances where examples from Morebath are used to comment on broader subjects. Other reviewers commented that Duffy conceded the limitations of a local source. Though popular, some reviewers appraised the book as overly complex for the broad audience it had been written and marketed towards. In 2002, The Voices of Morebath won Duffy the Hawthornden Prize and the book was shortlisted for both the Samuel Johnson Prize and British Academy Book Prize.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:08 UTC on Wednesday, 25 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see The Voices of Morebath on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Niamh.

Music and singing weave through everyday life across the Pacific, shaping our stories, celebrations and connections. For many, it's more than just an expression; it's a source of joy.  But what is it about lifting our voice in song that makes us feel so good?  On Sistas Let's Talk, Natasha Meten sits down with Papua New Guinean-Australian opera singer Heru Pinkasova and choir director and ethnomusicologist Rita Seumanutafa-Palala to explore the deep pleasures of singing: how it binds communities, lifts spirits and continues to evolve across generations. Listen to this episode on ABC Radio Australia.

It's the Talk of Troy. Voices and sounds from the campuses of Troy University. I'm De'Shaun Cottrell, Troy's College of Health Sciences has recently made several advancements, including a new research building and a new doctoral program.     Producer Reana Wallace has more. LaGary Carter is proud of Troy University's latest innovation and education. Troy University will have the only the second chiropractic program in the country, particularly a public research university.     Troy's newest research building, Jones Hall, was named for Billy Jones, a foundation board member who passed away in January. He was also president of a company overseeing 17 nursing homes across the state.     Carter is happy that Troy continues to honor the legacy of Jones. Jones Hall epitomizes, if you will, the vision and generosity of Mr. Jones.     You know, it stands as a hallmark towards his legacy, and it is certainly a benefit when it comes to recruiting students. And Carter says those studies will leave Troy with a diverse portfolio and wealth of experience.     Getting a degree will open a lot of doors for them in the health care arena and even beyond. So they need to look at it as a as a long term investment strategy.     For more information on Troy University's College of Health Sciences, including the new Doctor of Chiropractic program, visit Troy Dot Edu. For the Talk of Troy, I'm Reana Wallace.     Troy University students earned seven awards for this year's Southeastern Journalism Conference. The winners include Reana Wallace, whose voice you just heard in the last story. Producer AnnaBrooke Rainey has more.     200 students from more than 20 universities heard speeches, attended seminars, took part in onsite competitions, and they also won some awards.     Matilda Ziegler, opinion writer for Troy's Tropolitan newspaper, won second place in the Media law competition alongside Kathryn Clark, said just going to the conference was meaningful Firstly, you get to connect with both your peers at Troy and your     peers at other institutions. And then in addition to that, I think it's good to really be putting your best foot forward in these competitions. Caden Walker competed in the PR challenge with Nate Henderson.     He also represented Troy Trojan Vision News and the TV anchoring competition. He walked away with awards in both categories. It was a really fun thing.     Coming in second in that is really a feat to our willingness to represent our school well there and just to try to have fun with it. And it paid off very well. Jameson Speece represented Troy Public Radio.     He received first place for best radio news reporter, a job he really enjoys. I think one of my favorite parts is getting to do the reporting on the fly.     I love all of the different aspects of reporting and like the talking to people in the they're getting to sit down and try to come up with something cohesive.     For more information about SEJC and Troy University's Best of the South winners, visit today.troy.edu.

In this three-part lecture series, we shall explore the origins of monasticism, from a personal quest for holiness and an individual's radical Christian living to the rise and spread of monasteries in the Early Church.

Rob opens his family archive to share a carefully restored 2002 interview with his grandparents—two voices that carry Minnesota farm grit, German cadence, and the quiet strength of a marriage begun at sixteen. What starts as a personal memorial becomes a living piece of oral history: Depression-era setbacks, threshing crews and one-room schoolhouses, a boy who learned English after first grade, and a medic shipped through Texas deserts to India on Christmas Eve.You'll hear how work stitched life together—textile mills turning rags into wipers, long shifts at Armor's, and the steady math that bought and paid off two homes. The war years come alive through field hospitals, penicillin lessons learned the hard way, and a Himalayan rest camp where cool air and careful roads offered relief. Then the light shifts to St. Paul: a wedding day with tough fried hens and a missing lipstick, two rooms with a shared bath when housing was scarce, and the hand-painted nativity set that became the heart of every Christmas. Faith isn't abstract here; it's a crib built by hand, a pew filled every Sunday, vows taken seriously, and affection practiced more openly with the next generation.We move through the tenderness and the hard parts—sectarian jabs in a mill yard, the discipline that shaped character, a grandson's death that still breaks the voice, and the fierce pride that spills over when grandkids serve Mass, finish college, or skate under winter moonlight. There are cabins and cocoa suppers, moon-bright sled hills, and the crunch of horse hooves on snow drifting across memory. There's even a strange echo of history when our granddaughter works in India decades after her grandpa served there, set against the grounded skies of 9/11.If you've ever wished you could bottle a voice before it's gone, this is your nudge.

An Interview with Nick Morgan, Founder and President, Investor Choice Advocates Network (ICAN) For decades, small investors and entrepreneurs who run afoul of the Securities and Exchange Commission have faced a stark reality: challenge a powerful federal agency with seemingly unlimited resources or settle. The result is a staggering 98% settlement rate that has led to ruined businesses, lost opportunities, and forever changed lives. Our guest on this episode of Voices of Freedom is doing something about it. Nick Morgan is Founder and President of the Investor Choice Advocates Network, or ICAN, a nonprofit public interest law firm that provides free legal representation to small investors and entrepreneurs facing SEC overreach. Before founding ICAN, Nick spent seven years as senior trial counsel at the SEC, followed by 18 years in private practice defending clients against securities enforcement actions. His insider's perspective revealed how heavily the deck is stacked against ordinary Americans trying to pursue economic opportunity — and drove him to act. Topics Discussed on this Episode: How the SEC's structure and incentives undermine fairness for small investors and entrepreneurs ICAN's mission and the clients it serves Building legal precedent through strategic litigation and regulatory reform advocacy The proper balance between investor protection and economic freedom What gives Nick hope that the balance of power between individual Americans and the SEC can shift

It's the end of an era. Saturday Night Live brings the original era to a close as Buck Henry (naturally) hosts the season finale of Season Five.  Andrew Gold (it's okay, you can ask “Who?”) and Andrae Crouch with The Voice of Unity are the musical guests.The show leans into the “will they or won't they be back” elephant in the room often throughout the episode – from the monologue right up to the goodnights. In between, Buck gives another solid performance as host, we get to say goodbye to some well-loved recurring characters, and are gifted one of the most iconic sketches in the show's history up to this point.A lot has been said about SNL during this era – and this season – and it is bittersweet to see it come to an end. We say goodbye to Gilda, Jane, Laraine, Garrett, and Bill (and Lorne), and no one is sure what the future holds for Saturday Night Live. With one last self-referential nod, the show bows out and leaves the audience wondering just what might come next.A special guest also stops by to help say goodbye to the original era and one of the greatest hosts in SNL history.---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!

Viola Bradford started working at The Southern Courier when she was 14. On July 26, she will celebrate the newspaper's 60th anniversary with the culmination of a years-long effort to put a marker at the newspaper's former office on Commerce Street.A group of Harvard University journalism students formed The Southern Courier in 1965 to document the Civil Rights Movement. The newspaper covered Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi and worked to recruit people from the area to report.Bradford's work with the Courier led her to a career in journalism. She earned five degrees, including a doctorate from Howard University. She taught journalism at Alabama State University for about five years. The Southern Courier offered important coverage from 1965 to 1968.“The Southern Courier didn't just report the news—it disrupted the silence,” said Hardy. “It dared to tell the truth about the South from the people living it. At Alabama Values, we carry that same spirit. We're a grassroots communications organization, using narrative to tell the stories others try to bury. Honoring the Courier is personal—it reminds us that truth-telling has always been a tool of resistance.”The Southern Courier photo archives—over 10,000 images, including iconic photos of Dr. King—were donated by Peppler to the Alabama Department of Archives and History. The complete newspaper collection is housed at Tuskegee University.About Sankofa Servants, Inc.: Dr. Bradford s Founder of Sankofa Servants, Inc. is a community-driven organization dedicated to preserving cultural history, promoting justice through education, and empowering future generations through service and storytelling.© 2026 All Rights Reserved© 2026 Building Abundant Success!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Radio @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

February is Black History Month – which, for many longtime Black D.C. residents, is every month, and inextricable from D.C. history. In an already rapidly changing city now facing growing, unprecedented challenges to its local communities, economy, and autonomy, this year's Black History Month has new weight for some residents.

Send a textAs loyalty programs move into 2026, brands are confronting a fundamental shift: loyalty is no longer sustained by accumulation alone. Points, miles, and introductory bonuses still matter, but they no longer guarantee relevance or emotional attachment.

At first, the house felt normal. Not old. Not creepy. Just a typical suburban home where nothing should have stood out. But the longer you spent there, the more small things began to feel slightly off.Voices sounded where no one should have been. Movement appeared where walls made it impossible. Familiar people showed up in places they couldn't logically occupy—sometimes more than once at the same time. None of it felt aggressive. Nothing ever escalated. That almost made it worse.The moments didn't announce themselves as frightening. They arrived quietly, slipped into ordinary routines, and left behind confusion instead of panic. The kind that makes you replay what you saw long after the moment has passed#TrueGhostStories #UnexplainedEncounters #Mimicry #ParanormalPodcast #CreepyButQuiet #UnseenPresence #RealParanormal #SubtleHaunting #SomethingWasThereLove real ghost stories?

In this episode, Tim speaks with feminist theologian and author Meggan Watterson about the Gospel of Mary and the Acts of Paul and Thecla — early Christian texts that didn't make it into the New Testament. They explore what these stories reveal about the diversity of early Christianities, the formation of the biblical canon, and the ways women's voices were preserved, reshaped, or silenced. What does it mean that some communities treasured these texts enough to pass them on — and how might Christianity have looked if Mary and Thecla had been read alongside Paul and Peter?The conversation moves from history into questions of authority, embodiment, and discernment. Meggan reflects on what drew her to these texts and what she means by “inner authority,” while Tim probes the tension between personal revelation and communal accountability. Together they ask what kind of faith might emerge if we loosen our grip on a single master story without losing our grounding.Following the interview, Nomad hosts Tim and Joy reflect on growing up with a narrow vision of “the early church,” the uneasy relationship between canon and power, and what it means to reclaim inner authority without losing community.Interview starts at 14m 01sBooks, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

February is Black History Month! A time to honor the leadership, scholarship, and activism of African Americans whose contributions have shaped our nation. In this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast, we center and celebrate the Black women whose intellectual and political leadership fundamentally transformed feminism and continue to shape the ongoing work of gender equity. Too often, the history of the women's movement highlights figures like Stanton and Anthony while overlooking the central role Black women played in abolition, suffrage, civil rights, and feminist thought. Long before the term intersectionality was coined, Black women were living and articulating the layered realities of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia. We begin with the powerful words of Sojourner Truth and her 1851 “Ain't I a Woman?” speech, and we explore the evolution of the feminist movement through its three waves. We examine how Black feminist thought reshaped and expanded mainstream feminism during the 1960s and 1970s. We honor leaders such as: bell hooks, who defined feminism as “a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression.” Audre Lorde, who reminded us, “I am not free while any woman is unfree.” Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress, whose legacy of being “Unbought and Unbossed” redefined feminist leadership. Kimberlé Crenshaw, who coined the term intersectionality and warned that when movements fail to be intersectional, the most vulnerable fall through the cracks. Angela Davis, whose lifelong commitment to justice reminds us that equity work is not a moment…it's a movement. Maya Angelou, whose words call us forward: “Take up the battle. It is yours.” This episode examines why Black feminism is foundational to inclusive leadership, and why intersectionality is essential to advancing women. If we are not intersectional, we are not advancing all women. If we are not advancing all women, we are not advancing women! This conversation is about honoring legacy, not just in February, but always. It is about recognizing that the unfinished work of equity requires courage, scholarship, service, and collective responsibility. Because together, we rise. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a colleague, a student, or a friend. The work of advancing women requires all of us.

Your story is not just your story. It's part of a larger narrative about whose voices are heard and whose are erased.I'm thrilled to have Janice Gassam Asare back on the podcast. She's an organizational psychologist, equity consultant, and author of the new book Rise and Resist - and this conversation went places I didn't expect.What struck me most is how Janice reframes resistance. Not as something dramatic or career-ending, but as the small, daily choices we make: amplifying someone else's idea in a meeting, speaking up when it's uncomfortable, refusing to let an important story quietly disappear. Those aren't small acts. They're how culture actually changes.We also get into what it takes to develop your voice when you've spent years being rewarded for staying in your lane. If that hits close to home, this episode is for you.Janice and I talk about:Why storytelling is preservation and power, not just communicationHow personal stories build connection that expertise alone never canThe everyday acts of resistance that shape workplaces and culture more than we realizeHow to find your voice when you were taught not to rock the boatWhat to do when you speak up and face criticism or pushback for itAbout My Guest: Janice Z.

On the morning May 3rd, 2002, 7-year-old Alexis Patterson was very excited about going to school. Alexis was already a good student, she got straight A's and prided herself on her perfect attendance record. But this day was going to be very special. The night before, she and her mother Ayanna Patterson, purchased cupcakes for her to bring to her first-grade class. But when her mother realized Alexis had not finished her homework, she told her she was no longer allowed to bring the treats to her class. Frustrated, Alexis packed up and got ready to make the short walk to Hi-Mount Community School. The school was just 242 steps from her front door, but her mother or stepfather usually walked with her anyway. That morning, her stepfather LaRon Bourgeois walked with her. When they got to the end of their street, they met a crossing guard who walked Alexis to the other side of the street to the school.   What happened next and even parts of what I've already told you is highly debated among LaRon Bourgeois, witnesses at the school and law enforcement. What we know for sure is that Alexis went missing that day.   To complicate matters further in 2016, 14 years after Alexis went missing, a man came forward claiming his ex-wife was the missing girl. Since then, Ayanna Patterson has believed her daughter is not missing but alive and well, unable to believe the truth of her identity. But some detectives are certain that the answers about what happened to Alexis will be found closer to home. Alexis Patterson was 7 years old when she went missing from Milwaukee Wisconsin on May 3rd, 2002. At the time she was 3ft 8 inches tall and weighed approximately 42 pounds. She was last seen wearing a red hooded jacket with a gray stripe on the sleeves, a purple shirt, light colored blue jeans, and white Nike tennis shoes. She wore her hair in two braids pulled back into one ponytail and was carrying a pink "Barbie" book bag. She has black hair and brown eyes. She also has a scar under her right eye and a bump on her left pinky finger. There is a $10k reward being offered for information that leads investigators to Alexis. Anyone with information is urged to call their local FBI office. You can also submit a tip anonymously online at Tips.FBI.Gov. This episode originally aired on May 5, 2022.
