This week, we head to Main Street in Annapolis to meet Kristen Umana, co-owner of Local Coast, a homegrown coastal lifestyle and apparel brand that got its start in 2021 and now has stores in Annapolis and Severna Park. Kristen tells us how an idea born during COVID grew from online sales and local pop-ups into two brick-and-mortar stores. We talk about her background with Ralph Lauren and Hermès, the family effort behind Local Coast's original designs, why crabs and Orange Crushes are naturally big sellers, and how the company gives back to organizations including the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and Annapolis Maritime Museum. We also get into running a business with your spouse and four kids in the mix, the differences between the Annapolis and Severna Park stores, and where Local Coast might be headed next. It's a truly local brand inspired by the Chesapeake and the people who call this area home. Have a listen.

For so many people, a single body comment has stayed with them for years. Someone remarks on what's on your plate, or how you look compared to last time they saw you, and you stand there without knowing what to say. Commenting on bodies got normalized somewhere along the way, and most of us were never given the language to push back on it. But what if you already have the right to end that conversation, and the only missing piece is knowing what to say? In this episode, we talk about what happens when people comment on your body, your food, or your weight, and what you can actually say back. Between the three of us we have lived this from opposite sides. Comments about being too thin, comments about gaining weight, comments in a larger body, comments filtered through cultural norms where remarking on appearance is the first thing out of someone's mouth. What we bring to this conversation is a range of responses that fit different relationships, different rooms, and different levels of energy on any given day. In this episode, you will discover: The reason a comment about your body says almost nothing about your body What most people never realize they are doing when diet culture teaches them that commenting is helpful The one question to ask yourself before you decide whether to respond at all Why unsolicited advice about your health so often arrives dressed as concern What setting boundaries actually sounds like with the family member you cannot avoid What to say when someone celebrates their own weight loss Why food comments at a party are rarely about the food What body shaming looks like when it comes wrapped in a compliment The part of body autonomy that requires no explanation from you to anyone Why food freedom includes eating without explaining your choices Protecting your body image does not require a confrontation, and this episode shows exactly what it does require.

“MK Confidential" opens in a hotel lobby in Annapolis, Maryland, in July of 2016. A sliding glass door closes on a golden retriever named Buddy, and a stranger gathers the animal up and carries him inside. He tells the dog's owner his name is Phoenix. Over the next few days he tells her the rest — twenty years in prison, and still capable of doing horrific things when prompted. She gets frightened enough to start recording their conversations. By the time she stops, she has seven hours of a career criminal named Armando Morales, the witness who sent Ingmar Guandique to prison for sixty years for the murder of Chandra Levy. Megyn Kelly lays out how the murder conviction comes apart. On the stand, Morales swore he had never been an informant. Sitting in the government's own files was a letter proving otherwise — a document the prosecution never turned over, and the defense was entitled to have. A judge vacates the conviction and orders a new trial. Then, the tapes surface, and the government's star witness sounds nothing like the reformed man the jury voted to trust. On July 28th, 2016, prosecutors drop the murder charge. Guandique is deported to El Salvador, and disappears. A dismissal is not an acquittal, and it is not an exoneration. Megyn walks through what the evidence still shows, and what has never fit — the rough horse trail where Chandra's family says she would never have run, the workout shoes still sitting in her apartment, an unidentified man's DNA on her clothing, her missing keys and pinkie ring, never found. Chandra's aunt never believed Guandique killed her; neither did the family's private eye. In time, even Bob and Susan Levy stopped being sure. Twenty-five years after their daughter walked out of her apartment, the murder of Chandra Levy is, in the eyes of the law, unsolved. Her parents find consolation in ladybugs, the source of Chandra's childhood nickname, which find them wherever they go, exploring the world in honor of the daughter who left so much of it unseen. This is Episode 5, and the conclusion of the Chandra Levy story.

Holly Hendrickson joins us today to discuss Real BFFs Annapolis, a women's friendship community serving Annapolis, Anne Arundel County and surrounding areas. Hendrickson explains how her own difficulty making new friends as an adult led her to create the group in 2021. What began with a Facebook page and a dinner for 12 women has grown into a network of nearly 4,000 members, with events ranging from brunches and book clubs to craft nights, walks, mixers, and themed dinners.  The conversation also covers the challenges of adult friendship, the importance of social wellness, how new members can ease into the group and the organization's plans to work with more local businesses and eventually create a permanent clubhouse.

Kim Kelley did not buy her Annapolis home with an Airbnb business plan.She bought it so her family could be close to their daughter, Lizzie, while she attended the United States Naval Academy and played varsity lacrosse. After Lizzie graduated and was commissioned into the Navy, Kim had a decision to make: sell the house or turn it into something more.So she “threw it on Airbnb.”In this episode, Sarah and Annette talk with Kim about how The Goat Getaway became much more than a second home. Kim shares what it took to get licensed in a strict market, why her second guest immediately exposed the need for a stronger team, and how she built boots-on-the-ground support while hosting remotely from Dallas.She also breaks down the strategy that changed everything: learning PriceLabs, raising her base rate, adjusting minimum stays, creating parent-child listings, and building direct booking demand through the Naval Academy community.If you have a property with untapped midweek demand, a strong niche audience, or a direct booking opportunity hiding in plain sight, this episode will show you what happens when you stop guessing and start operating like a real business.In this episode, you'll learn:How Kim turned a family home into The Goat GetawayWhy remote hosting requires a trusted local teamWhat her early guest issues taught her about operationsHow PriceLabs changed her pricing strategyWhy parent-child listings helped unlock midweek demandHow she reached 70% direct bookingsWhy one bad guest pushed her toward a stronger business modelHow she uses weekly metrics to keep improving the listingResources Mentioned: Join us live & learn about Strategic Host!

Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating, better known as CRAB, has spent 35 years making sure people with disabilities are not left at the dock. In this Local Business Spotlight, CRAB President and CEO Bo Bollinger joins us from the nonprofit's Adaptive Boating Center on Back Creek to explain how the organization helps guests sail, fish, and experience the Chesapeake Bay safely and independently. Bo shares the story of CRAB's founding in 1991 after Don Backe, who had been paralyzed in a car crash, rediscovered a sense of freedom aboard a sailboat and decided others deserved the same opportunity. Today, CRAB operates six adaptive sailboats, radio-controlled sailboats, and a 40-foot power catamaran capable of carrying five wheelchair users. The goal is not simply to give guests a ride. CRAB puts the tiller in their hands and gives them the chance to sail the boat themselves. The conversation also covers the growth of CRAB's waterfront facility, its highly trained volunteer force, free sailing programs, family outings, recovering warrior regattas, Special Olympics sailing and year-round wellness programs. Bo explains how people can volunteer, donate a boat, support the organization financially or simply help someone with a disability discover that this resource exists right here in Annapolis.

Captain Tom Weaver of Tom Weaver Fishing Guide Service joins the Fishing the DMV Podcast for an information-packed conversation about more than 35 years of fishing and working on the Chesapeake Bay. Operating from the Annapolis area, Captain Weaver offers light-tackle fishing, Chesapeake Bay fly fishing, and family-friendly fishing charters targeting everything from shallow-water rockfish and winter pickerel to bluefish, cobia, red drum, and other seasonal species.Captain Weaver shares how he arrived in Maryland in 1990, just as striped bass fishing reopened following the moratorium, and immediately fell in love with the Chesapeake Bay. Before becoming a full-time Chesapeake Bay fishing guide, he spent approximately 25 years racing sailboats professionally, competed in America's Cup campaigns, raced around the world, helped lead an Italian America's Cup team, and later started a boatbuilding company. He also spent more than a decade guiding during the winters in Key West before earning one of Maryland's limited-entry guide licenses and building his Maryland fishing charter business.The conversation takes a detailed look at how Chesapeake Bay fishing has changed since the 1990s. Captain Weaver explains how major schools of striped bass gradually shifted north from traditional Mid-Bay locations such as The Hill near Poplar Island toward Love Point, Swan Point, Tolchester, Baltimore, and the Susquehanna Flats. Rather than following those fish farther north, he adapted by locating smaller groups of rockfish in extremely shallow water around Eastern Bay and the Choptank River. He now regularly fishes in three feet of water or less, sometimes sight-casting to wary striped bass in water barely deep enough to float his boat. He also discusses the growth of the Severn River chain pickerel fishery, improving water clarity, expanding grass beds, oyster restoration, striped bass spawning conditions, and serious concerns surrounding white perch recruitment.Captain Weaver also breaks down his favorite Chesapeake Bay fishing techniques. During the summer, he frequently throws topwater lures throughout the day—even under bright afternoon sun. His preferred spinning lures are the Heddon Super Spook XT and Heddon One Knocker, modified by replacing the treble hooks with inline single hooks. For fly anglers, he recommends eight- or nine-weight equipment, accurate presentations, clear fly lines when fish are especially wary, topwater poppers, and learning to use a proper strip-set instead of lifting the rod with a traditional trout-set.Captain Weaver also shares memorable Chesapeake Bay fishing stories, including catching large winter striped bass near the Bay Bridge, targeting pickerel on fly tackle, encountering a group of huge tarpon south of Taylor's Island, and getting shots at 17 cobia near Poplar Island during a single fly-fishing trip. He explains why late summer can bring opportunities for cobia, red drum, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, and speckled trout, while winter offers catch-and-release opportunities for trophy striped bass and chain pickerel.The episode also explores Captain Weaver's fisheries advocacy work. He explains why he supports responsible winter catch-and-release fishing, how seasonal closures can protect striped bass during periods of high water temperatures, and why keeping anglers connected to the resource is important for the long-term future of Chesapeake Bay conservation. His observations come from decades spent on the water, but he also emphasizes the importance of listening to fisheries biologists, managers, and scientific research. Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon: https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcastIf you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fishwithweaver/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/fishwithweaver?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Website: https://fishwithweaver.com/home FITT Lures: https://bit.ly/4w5lgHtLMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/ Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/  Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/  Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech  Phone Number: (757) 566-1278 Email: lin@fishingprotech.us Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168    Max4 Fishing: https://bit.ly/4unuiOs Flint Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/43t8h5N #FishingtheDMV #FishingReport #ChesapeakeBayfishing Support the show

NOTE: We initially had a bad connection; parts of the first 90 seconds may sound garbled! Chris Vos, founder and frontman of The Record Company, joins us ahead of the band's return to Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis on Monday, August 17. The show is part of the Give It Back to You 10th Anniversary Tour—and, as it turns out, it also marks ten years since the band last played the intimate Annapolis venue. Vos calls Rams Head "one of the greatest rooms ever" and says the return carries more meaning than he initially realized. During the conversation, Vos shares the deeply personal connection between that 2016 Annapolis show and the death of his grandfather. He reflects on growing up on a Wisconsin dairy farm, the years of doubt before The Record Company broke through, and how the debut album was made before Grammy nominations, major tours and a career in music became reality. He also explains why the band released a raw recording of its first living-room concert, saying artists should not be embarrassed by their growth or allow perfectionism to keep honest work hidden. The interview also explores how Vos approaches performing songs written by a younger version of himself, why every song in the set deserves his full commitment and what decades in music have taught him about work, humility and staying present. He talks about the influence of his family, the importance of respecting the audience and why he views every concert as one fewer opportunity to do what he loves—not one more. He also reveals that his dream gig would be sharing a stage with The Rolling Stones and closes with a reminder that word of mouth remains one of the most powerful ways to support a band.

Annapolis Mayor Jared Littmann joins us for a wide-ranging conversation marking roughly 200 days in office. He discusses securing funding for the City Dock project, reaching a tentative settlement in the HACA housing lawsuit, filling several key leadership positions, launching the search for a new police chief, and passing his first city budget without increasing the tax rate. We also dig into permitting reforms, including shorter review times and the possible use of artificial intelligence to screen applications for code compliance. Littmann explains why the police chief search includes a community advisory committee, responds to concerns about city communications and social media, and addresses the financial impact of the proposed $15 million HACA settlement. The conversation also covers progress at City Dock, the challenges facing nearby businesses during construction, proposed changes to downtown parking, the return of the Golden Pass program, and the mayor's priorities for the next 100 days. Littmann also reflects on what he considers one of his early missteps and what he hopes residents will begin noticing as investments in streets, sidewalks and other city services move forward.

That's a wrap on the 2026 season, and the Blues saved some of their best for last. Sam and Hiram recap a final week that started in Virginia Beach, where the boys battled a keeper standing on his head, took the lead on a Brady Geho penalty, and settled for a 1-1 draw that officially closed the playoff door. But the home finale at Navy Memorial? Pure joy. In front of 7,815 fans with Crabtown and the Bay Bhoys in full voice, the Blues dismantled Bethesda 4-1. Enzo bagged a brace, Ben Madore uncorked an absolute worldie from 25+ yards off a self-volley, and Tyler Gabara buried a penalty and earned the most acceptable yellow card of the season with a shirt-off celebration. A five-game unbeaten run to end the year, jumping Bethesda and Christos to finish 5th at 7-5-2 with 36 goals scored and a +16 goal difference. This week's episode features three post-match conversations:

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV!! I have on EJ from Anglers of Annapolis to discuss white perch fishing around Annapolis, Kent Island, the Severn River, the Magothy River, and Maryland's tidal tributaries. Whether you are introducing a child to fishing or looking for a dependable summer bite, this conversation offers practical information you can use on your next trip.EJ is a lifelong Maryland angler who has fished the Chesapeake Bay since childhood and has been visiting Anglers of Annapolis since he was around 14 years old. He explains why white perch are such a great species for beginners, how anglers can get started without spending a fortune, and where these fish can be found throughout the year. We discuss public fishing opportunities at places such as Matapeake Fishing Pier, Romancoke Fishing Pier, Jonas Green Park, and other shoreline locations throughout Anne Arundel County and Maryland's Eastern Shore.We also break down the best bait for Chesapeake Bay white perch. EJ explains why bloodworms remain one of the most productive choices in the main bay, while night crawlers can be an affordable and effective option farther inside tributaries where the water becomes fresher. He also walks through the early spring spawning run, the movement of white perch toward docks and piers during the warmer months, and the deeper-water schools anglers may find during the fall.The conversation then turns to the 11th Annual White Perch Open hosted by Anglers of Annapolis. The family-friendly event includes youth divisions, prizes, food, music, and hundreds of white perch being cleaned, cooked, and served on-site. This year's event honors the late Charlie Ebersberger, a longtime owner of Anglers of Annapolis who loved white perch fishing and played an important role in the local fishing community.EJ also shares the mission behind Combos for Kids, a nonprofit that introduces underserved children, children with special needs, at-risk youth, and children in foster care to fishing. Volunteers donate their boats, equipment, time, and knowledge, while every child participating in the boating events gets to keep their fishing setup and continue their journey on the water.In this episode, we cover:The best bait for catching Chesapeake Bay white perchBloodworms versus night crawlers in tidal tributariesPublic fishing spots near Annapolis and Kent IslandSeasonal white perch movements from spring through fallThe history and format of the White Perch OpenThe secret ingredient in Anglers' fried white perch recipeHow Combos for Kids introduces children to fishingChanges EJ has witnessed across the Chesapeake Bay fishery Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon: https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.comTo enroll in the White Perch Open: https://www.anglerssportcenter.com/white-perch-open/Anglers Sport Center website:  www.anglersannapolis.com  Combos for Kids: www.combosforkids.org Combos for Kids donation: https://donorbox.org/combos-for-kids LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/ Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/  Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/  Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech  Phone Number: (757) 566-1278 Email: lin@fishingprotech.us Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168    Max4 Fishing: https://bit.ly/4unuiOs Flint Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/43t8h5N Fitt Lures: https://bit.ly/4w5lgHtSupport the show

Lessons in Sailing Upwind William D. Parker, July 9, 2026 When my friend Dave Sandowich, a retired principal with 20+ years of admin experience, invited me to go sailing with me off the Chesapeake Bay, I was thrilled. This would be the third time he had taken me on the water, and my son Jack, now 20 years old, was coming along. We sailed 60 miles over three days, from Dave's place on Kent Island to Annapolis, Maryland, and then south to a quiet cove. Sailing upwind was the most challenging and exhilarating part of the trip. Calm waters and quiet moments were nice too, but Dave was quick to point out that sailing upwind takes work – a mastery of understanding the sail and jib, the use of crewmates to help you come about, and knowledge and skill to stay on track. As Dave told me the first time we sailed together in 2019, “Sailing is a lot like leadership,” he said. “On a sailboat your destination may be directly from where the wind is coming from. A sailboat can't sail directly into the wind but it can work its way up wind by sailing at angles off the wind and working its way up wind to the destination. It is more work and will take more time but you will get there if you stay the course, apply your sailing knowledge and get the feedback from your instruments and instincts and adjust along the way.” Whenever I think about resistance in leadership, I think about sailing into the wind. Leaders have a destination in sight for their teachers, students and communities. The question is: what do you do when you experience pushback and resistance toward reaching those goals. What has facing resistance taught you? This week, I met with a group of leaders for a retreat, and I posed that question to them. Some of their responses included: “Pushback causes me to reassess my own understanding of mission and vision and if I'm effectively and clearly communicating it with others.” “Perhaps there is misunderstanding or misrepresentation of our goals that I need to recommunicate.” “It's my responsibility to realign expectations while keeping in mind that relationships are complex. Reaching my goal may not be a straight shot. Sometimes I have to work with people until they come around to a clearer perspective.” “Leadership is more like chess than checkers. It requires wisdom to know how to maneuver among people and systems while still reaching the right outcome.” Each one of these statements reminds me that the work of leaders is complex, and navigating complexity takes more than just a good handbook or code of conduct. It requires wisdom to step into the complexities and determine the next best step for moving forward. Having said that, here are a few thoughts to keep in mind as you sail a route in the coming school year: People – Investing in people means taking time to know who is on your team, gaining their trust, and remembering that development is not a one time event. Systems – Developing systems means analyzing your operations, processes, routines, and procedures in light of your students, teachers, and community members. Ask yourself what it is like to be on the other side of any activity at your school. How are you aligning the system involved for the outcome you want them to experience? Belief – Encouraging collective efficacy among your team members means being clear on what you believe is most important for the outcomes and impact happening around student learning. These three reminders bring us back to commitments to people, systems, and belief – the essentials for any flourishing school community. Anyone trying to navigate or move forward an entire organization or community must be prepared to face some winds of resistance. You can either allow the pushback to cause you to throw anchor, drop sails, or turn around. Choose Your Hard Our last day together, Dave and Jack and I were having breakfast together, when I asked Dave what were some lessons in leadership he's learned along the way. Dave is enjoying retirement and a lot of time on his boat with family and friends. When I asked him what lessons he was learning, he looked at me and Jack and said, “You have to learn to choose your hard.” “What do you mean by that?” I asked. “Take my physical fitness, for example,” he continued. “I choose the hard by keeping my workout routine. I don't really want to do pullups, planks and pushups, but I choose that hard over the hard of declining health, higher blood pressure, or losing my mobility over time. You choose your hard one way or the other.” Life and leadership teach us a lot of lessons along the way if we slow down enough to listen and reflect. In leadership, the harder and wiser option often requires sailing into the winds of resistance. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it by default. But good outcomes often require hard choices. When I think about the goal of schools to build a community of learning, I'm encouraged that the task is worth it for students, for teachers, and for communities. It's also worth it for leaders. On our last day of sailing, Dave navigated the boat back toward Kent Island. He gave each of us a turn at the helm. I tried to soak in the memories of sun, waves, and the warmth of friendship and family. Your school year ahead will be full of unexpected situations, and the truth is: you don't choose the winds you encounter. But you can choose how you respond to them. As you sail into the winds of a new school year, may you learn to pivot, to navigate, and to recalibrate along the way. The destination and experiences you reach will look different in each journey, but the mindset you have along the way may be what makes all the difference. Now It's Your Turn What are some experiences in pushback or resistance you've faced, and what lessons did you learn? How can you apply those lessons to navigating with wisdom “upwind” in the school year ahead?

A child's mutilated torso surfaced from the Thames near Shakespeare's Globe in 2001, and more than two decades later no one has been convicted of killing the boy investigators could only call Adam.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/TorsoInTheThamesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3h6yrmk5FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Most people, when they think of the end of their lives, want to feel that they have accomplished something of significance. To leave a lasting legacy. But it is much more rare for someone to accomplish something significant – after they are dead! (Done By The Dead) *** Mrs. Elizabeth G. Wharton was a pillar of society in Baltimore, Maryland in the late 1800s. That is, until she was accused of murdering General William Scott Ketchum. (The Baltimore Borgia) *** For every legitimate and fascinating find by geologists, there seems to be a fraudulent find somewhere else trying to fool the masses. This has been a problem since geology became a thing – and one of the most fascinating of these true tales is the one about Baringer's Lying Stones. (The Lying Stones) *** A strange, ape-like creature with glowing eyes in England might really be, as some believe, a specter of the night. (Man-Monkey of the Night) *** It's hard to understand how human sacrifice has ever been a reality in any point in history – but what if you were to learn that evidence of it showed up in London, England… in 2001? (Torso In The River) *** A would-be geisha murders her lover… but the events leading up to and during the death make for a fascinatingly dark story. (The Murderess Geisha) *** When it comes to spectral animals, we're more than familiar with black dogs or hell hounds, ghostly cats, horses carrying a headed or headless phantom, even a ghost bear rumored to haunt the Tower of London… but have you ever heard of the American Southwest's ghost camels?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from ghost camels haunting the Arizona desert to corpses that kept making history after death, a Baltimore poisoning that gripped a courtroom for weeks, a professor fooled by carved stones, a child's murder in the Thames that London police have never solved, a Tokyo geisha who killed the man she loved, and a glowing-eyed creature on an English canal bridge.It opens in the American southwest, where the U.S. War Department imported some seventy-two camels in 1857 to haul supplies, only to turn the animals loose in the desert when the Civil War broke out and the soldiers tired of their foul temper and habit of spooking horses. Wild camels roamed Arizona for decades afterward, and one became legend as the Red Ghost — a beast blamed for trampling a woman to death in 1883 and later seen carrying a dead man lashed to its back, a rider who eventually decayed until a human skull dropped from the saddle in front of a group of startled prospectors. An Arizona farmer finally shot the animal in 1893, still wearing the leather straps that had held its corpse rider in place.From there the episode turns to figures who kept shaping the world after they died. A gang of Chicago counterfeiters led by "Big Jim" Kennally plotted in 1876 to steal Abraham Lincoln's body from his Springfield tomb and ransom it for a jailed engraver, foiled by a Secret Service informant working for the very agency Lincoln himself had signed into existence. A grave robber broke into George Washington's crypt at Mount Vernon in 1830 hunting the president's skull and made off with the wrong one. The British philosopher Jeremy Bentham left instructions to have his body dissected and mummified, and it sits on display at University College London to this day. And in the ninth century Pope Stephen VI dug up his predecessor Formosus, dressed the rotting corpse in papal vestments, propped it up for trial, found it guilty, and had it thrown into the Tiber.Next comes Baltimore in 1871, where Elizabeth Wharton, a respected society widow, hosted General William Scott Ketchum in her home on Hamilton Place until he fell suddenly ill and died with twenty grains of tartar emetic in his stomach — fifteen is enough to kill. Police discovered she had bought sixty grains days earlier, and a financial advisor named Eugene Van Ness nearly died the same way after she served him a drink. Her forty-two-day poison trial in Annapolis exhausted the medical and chemical experts of the day, and after deliberating through the night the jury acquitted her of murder.The episode then crosses to Germany, where Johann Beringer, a celebrated professor at the University of Würzburg, spent 1725 collecting strange carved stones dug up on Mount Eibelstadt by teenage boys he had hired — figures of birds, lizards, comets, and the name of God rendered in Hebrew. Convinced they were the handiwork of God himself, he published a book on them called the Lithographiae Wirceburgensis, only to learn the nearly two thousand stones had been planted by two envious colleagues, J. Ignatz Roderick and Johann Georg von Eckhart, who thought him an arrogant know-it-all and wanted to humble him.From an academic hoax the episode moves to an unsolved horror. On September 21st, 2001, a child's headless, limbless torso surfaced from the Thames near the Globe Theatre, wrapped in orange cloth, and London's Metropolitan Police could give the boy no name but Adam. Forensic analysis of poison and minerals in his remains traced him to the Benin region of Nigeria and showed he had been paralyzed and drained of blood in what investigators believed was a muti ritual killing. Nelson Mandela made an international appeal for information, and traffickers including Kingsley Ojo and a caregiver named Joyce Osagiede were investigated, but no one has ever been convicted and the boy's true identity has never been confirmed.The episode carries that darkness into 1936 Tokyo, where Sada Abe strangled her lover Kichizo Ishida in an inn after a days-long affair, then took a kitchen knife to his body and carried a severed part of him away in her handbag. Her capture two days later set off a national obsession the papers called "Sada mania," and her testimony about killing the man she refused to share became a bestseller in a country where such candor was scandalous. She was sentenced to six years, served her time as a model prisoner, and vanished from public life sometime after 1970.The episode closes on a cold English night in January 1879, when a furniture hauler crossing Bridge 39 over the Shropshire Union Canal near the village of Ranton was charged by a shaggy, ape-like creature with glowing eyes that leapt onto his cart and terrified his horse. When he swung his whip at the thing, the lash passed straight through its body, and the creature bolted down toward the canal and vanished. The folklorist Charlotte Burne later learned from the village constable that the sightings had begun only days after a man drowned in that same canal, in a place where people believed a violent death could send someone back in the shape of a beast.

The Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum is much more than a museum—it is Maryland's official home for African American history and culture, preserving stories that have shaped not only the state but the nation. This week on the Local Business Spotlight, Executive Director Chanel Compton Johnson shares how the museum serves as both a destination and a gateway, connecting visitors to African American heritage sites and stories throughout Maryland. Johnson discusses the museum's current exhibitions, including She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory, plans for a reimagined permanent exhibit, and why the museum's mission extends beyond preserving history to helping visitors better understand the present. She also talks about the museum's role in education, community partnerships, youth programming, and the importance of making African American history accessible to everyone. It's an engaging conversation about history, art, education, and why this remarkable Annapolis institution deserves far more attention than being called a "hidden gem."

For 25 years, Kacy Paide has helped people tackle the paper piles, packed closets, hidden boxes, and overwhelmed workspaces they often feel they should be able to manage on their own. Through The Inspired Office, Paide focuses on offices and paper wherever it accumulates, whether that means a desk, dining room table, basement, or a closet filled with what she calls "time capsules." In this week's Local Business Spotlight, Petty explains why getting organized is often less about buying containers and more about understanding habits, emotions, and the systems that will actually work for each person. She also discusses the value of visible filing systems, why going completely paperless is not realistic for everyone, and how her virtual small-group programs are helping people well beyond the Annapolis area. Kacy also shares how she launched the business straight out of college, built it largely through word of mouth, and is now using 25 years of client stories and experience to write her first book. The Inspired Office also offers videos, a free email crash course, an online assessment, and other resources for anyone ready to make their paper life feel a little less overwhelming. Have a listen.

Kaj Larsen did not follow the typical route to becoming a U.S. Navy SEAL. He was admitted to the U.S. Naval Academy but left after two years to focus on playing water polo at the collegiate level. A few years later he enlisted in the Navy and immediately tried to get a slot in Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL (BUD/s) training in Coronado, California. Those billets are not usually given to men who left Annapolis but Larsen managed to snag one after his lifeguarding skills made headlines. In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Larsen explains his path to becoming a SEAL officer in more detail, his thoughts upon arriving at Coronado, and how the incredible intensity of the training started during the first hour of the very first day. Larsen also details the agony of "Hell Week," his most difficult moments during BUD/s, and what the seemingly ruthless instructors are trying to achieve through their relentless demands. Larsen also tells us what it was like being in the middle of this training when the 9/11 terrorist attacks struck the U.S.Finally, Larsen reveals what his first combat experience was like and how SEAL gear and tactics have evolved since his time in combat as a result of new technologies and adapting to the tactics of our enemies. 

Steven Pressfield is the bestselling author of titles such as Gates of Fire, Tides of War, and The Legend of Bagger Vance. He's also written numerous nonfiction books, such as The War of Art and Turning Pro. Collectively, his books have sold millions of copies and been translated into countless languages; Gates of Fire, in particular, is required reading at West Point and Annapolis and has been on the U.S. Marine Corps Commandant's Reading List for all ranks since 2002. But what I love about him is that he's incredibly open. He wrote for 27 years before he got his first novel published, and during that time, he worked 21 different jobs in 11 states. He taught school, drove tractor-trailers, worked in advertising and as a screenwriter in Hollywood, worked on offshore oil rigs, picked fruit as a migrant worker — you name it. His newest book is a novel called The Arcadian, and that's what we're getting into today. We're discussing the genesis of the book and how it maps onto many of the personal struggles we all overcome in our day-to-day lives, both as leaders and individuals. We also touch on a few topics that he's never really been asked before, as it pertains to his writing and why he can sometimes bounce in and out of writing both fiction and non-fiction. Regardless of your profession, you'll find something relatable here. He has a wonderful perspective and is a tremendous writer.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: -Why fiction can be more effective at exploring deeper human truths than nonfiction when it comes to psychology, conflict, and motivation. -How great stories are effective because they keep the reader moving by planting breadcrumbs, small hints, and bits of information along the way. -How to improve your writing by honing your voice, finding the right voice for the project, and using a clear structure with recurring symbols and threads. -The things that still keep Steven curious and learning including the creative process, the Muse, and the idea that stories come from another dimension. -How he balances research with storytelling by grounding the reader in real details while still keeping the ideas organized and understandable   Follow Steven: https://www.instagram.com/steven_pressfield/?hl=en https://stevenpressfield.com/   Follow Us: Website: ArtofCoaching.com Instagram: @coach_brettb X: @coach_brettb
