A week after a lenient sentence in a plot to murder a Republican‑appointed Supreme Court justice, another left‑wing attacker shows up with a manifesto and 200+ explosive devices outside a Red Mass. In this episode we trace the pattern — shootings at newsrooms, bomb plots at public religious events, violent confrontations at motorcades, and juries and judges who seem to treat left‑wing attackers differently. From Portland's streets to Asheville and Washington, D.C., we ask: when courts, prosecutors, and local officials consistently fail to hold violent offenders accountable, who protects ordinary citizens and public figures? Tune in for a fast, unflinching breakdown of the incidents, courtroom decisions, and the rising fear that a two‑tier system of justice is empowering political violence.

They discuss how our nervous system shapes who we're drawn to, why recognizing dating patterns is the first step toward healing, and how to create authentic, grounded relationships. From attachment theory to swiping fatigue, Amber shares actionable strategies to help you date with self-awareness, intention, and emotional integrity. If you're tired of surface-level connections and want to shift toward conscious love, this episode is for you. About the Guest:Amber Lavin is a relationship coach and counselor based in Asheville, specializing in helping women reclaim their dating lives through mindfulness, embodiment, and emotional healing. Through her work at True Nature Counseling, she helps clients understand their nervous system, shift attachment patterns, and foster deeper, healthier connections. Key Takeaways: Dating patterns often stem from nervous system imprints developed in early life. Embodied dating helps you tune into your body's cues and break cycles of unhealthy attraction.

His work focuses on helping individuals and couples heal from patterns of ancestral, familial, and relational trauma.

In this episode, Jared and I discuss the relationship dynamics of codependency, differentiation and autonomy in relationships.

In September 2024, Hurricane Helene tore through the Southeastern United States, bringing deadly storm surge, destructive winds, tornadoes, and record-breaking rainfall.

What do you do when the place that once held your memories is suddenly gone? A year ago, I watched floodwaters swallow a familiar corner of Asheville—a neighborhood full of weekend strolls, quiet moments, and memories. In a single day, what felt solid and permanent was swept away. In this deeply personal episode, I'm finally opening up about Hurricane Helene. What our community faced, how the past 12 months have changed me, and what the storm taught me about gratitude, grief, and what it really means to call a place “home.” If you've ever grieved the loss of a season… If you've ever looked at a cluttered room and felt a surprising wave of emotion… If you've ever asked yourself why certain things feel so hard to let go of… This one's for you. Because decluttering is never just about “stuff.” It's about memory. Identity. Story. And sometimes… healing. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why decluttering often stirs up emotion, and why that's completely normal What the storm revealed about the connection between our belongings and our identities The surprising truth about grief and gratitude and why they're not opposites How simplicity can be a choice before it's forced on us The moment in Costco that broke me, and what it helped me understand about being human Why “things” are never just things and how to know what's worth keeping Resources & Mentions: Join Clutter Cure Club Want to create a home that feels light, peaceful, and aligned with what truly matters? Inside CCC, we turn powerful mindset shifts (like today's episode) into small, doable changes that last.

Bask has called Asheville, North Carolina home for as long as they've been together. Drummer Scott Middleton and guitarist Ray Worth were already making some serious noise when they teamed up in 2013 with bassist Jesse Van Note and vocalist/guitarist Zeb Wright, who had just moved to The Land of the Sky. "We've been a band longer than we've been with our spouses," Van Note says with a gold-toothed grin. Even after 12 years in the same city, Bask still has a sound that's uniquely their own. They've shared stages with heavyweights like High on Fire, Black Tusk, and Weedeater, which has led some metal fans to label them as stoner rock. But it's clear from the start that these guys are carving out their own path.Their album, The Turning, is deeply rooted in the natural sounds of Appalachia. You can hear the banjo poking through the heavier riffs in "The Cloth," like a black bear swimming upstream. "We all love heavy music, and half of us grew up around folk and bluegrass," Wright explains, "but this album really leans into that mix." The lead single, "Dig My Heels," kicks off with a solid metal foundation but then ventures into the lush, kudzu-covered fields of prog. "Scott called me out on this one," Worth laughs when asked about the song's origins. "Instead of writing to my riffs like we usually do, his drumbeat took the lead this time."Official Links:Bandcamp: https://basknc.bandcamp.com/Passionate about metal?

In this special Carolina Weather Group podcast, James Brierton talks with WCNC's Brad Panovich and WFMY's Tim Buckley, as they reflect on the storm's impacts, the lessons still being learned, and the striking parallels to past events like Hurricane Ivan (2004) and the 1916 flood.This special presentation originally aired as "Live Weather Impact," which streams weeknights at 6:30 p.m. on WCNC+ and WFMY+.

In June 1955, Judge Curtis Chillingworth and his wife Marjorie vanished from their Manalapan, Florida, beach cottage. There were haunting clues, but no bodies were ever found. Their disappearance exposed corruption in Florida's courts and led to the downfall of a fellow judge. Curtis was known for integrity, Marjorie for her quiet strength — together, they became the heart of one of Florida's most infamous true crime cases. Their story, and its unexpected ties to the legend of Trapper Nelson, remains one of Florida's most haunting mysteries.

On tonight's episode of Real Ghost Stories Online Live, the darkness begins with a chilling call from Katrina in Asheville, North Carolina. Her family's home on Marilyn Avenue carried more than memories—it carried terror. Katrina's Aunt Patsy knew something was wrong from the start. The dog growled into empty corners. Katrina's sister refused to sleep there. But the house revealed its true power one night on the upstairs balcony. While feeding her cat, Patsy watched in horror as the sliding patio door slammed shut—and the deadbolt locked. From outside. Trapped 13 feet up, she had no way down. After twenty minutes, bleeding and desperate, she smashed a small bathroom window and crawled through the jagged glass to escape. To this day, there's no explanation for how that lock was thrown. The haunting tied itself to a family already touched by sorrow. Katrina's grandmother bore ten children—four lost in horrific ways: a drowning, a fatal car crash, a brutal bar killing, and a sudden heart attack. The tragedies seemed like a curse, and in the old house, that shadow lingers still. Then, Tony and his daughter Harper bring listeners to a Wisconsin cemetery on Thanksgiving morning. With EMF meters and spirit boxes, they walk among the stones. Names like Gabriela and Marian emerge from the static. The word sacred echoes when asked about the ground beneath their feet. Harper feels the heaviness as they approach the chilling “receiving vault,” once used to hold bodies through long frozen winters until the thaw allowed for burial. Tonight's episode is a tapestry of hauntings: a locked door that drew blood, a family marked by loss, and voices rising from sacred ground. Whether it's Aunt Patsy's desperate escape or whispers from a cemetery vault, one truth remains—sometimes the dead don't stay quiet, and sometimes the land itself remembers. #RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #ParanormalEVP #GrandmaGhost #HauntedCemetery #DeadboltMystery #HatMan #GhostVoices #ReceivingVault #HauntedFamily Love real ghost stories?

The conversation travels to the beautiful city of Asheville and how its residents have come together to rebuild after Hurricane Helene and her unbelievably destructive passage through some of the oldest mountains in the world.
