After years of waiting and hoping, while band members were in their various solo outings, and the jamband scene seemed more inclusive than ever, Phish returned to the stage. After their Hampton comeback in March, they hit the road for a HUGE summer tour and expectations were out of control. At the time, lots of long-time fans were overwhelmed with the excitement of Phish being back clean, sober, and cohesive but we were also wondering: where are the jams?But with time comes perspective and we are lucky today to have returning guest Derek Hill to explain why today's show–June 9, 2009 at the Asheville Civic Center–and 2009 in general deserves its due, deserves respect, and deserves attention instead of being brushed aside as “the band getting back on their feet.” You may remember that Derek was previously on Attendance Bias to tell about another show from 2009–the memorable Hartford show from August 14 when the band busted out several Gamehendge favorites, a killer version of Ghost, and even played Psycho Killer! That show was an instant classic, but today's show from Asheville was a bit more under the radar. It was early on in Phish's 3.0 return, and had several features that would become trademarks of the early-3.0 era; long sets, old favorites mixed in with songs from the new album, strong vocals, type 1 jams, and the occasional jam that pushed the boundaries. But there's also the personal aspect to it–the reasons Derek wanted to tell his story, and I'll leave that to him. So let's join Derek to talk about Sarah Palin, Fishman's journal, and what it's like UNDER the stage, as we discuss June 9, 2009 at the Asheville Civic Center.Support the show

Courtney and Tara share their personal journeys into nonprofit leadership, the importance of processing trauma, and why nurses are uniquely positioned to lead healing efforts beyond the bedside.This episode is a powerful reminder that meaningful impact does not require perfection, only heart, and that alone is no longer enough.>>Nurses Helping Nurses: Inside a Healing Outreach After the HurricaneJump Ahead to Listen: [2:18] Courtney's nursing background[4:32] How Rekindled Nurse supports nurses[7:02] Tara's path to nursing and trauma work[8:58] Launching Debriefing the Front Lines[10:22] Why debriefing matters after crisis[11:53] Intention behind the Asheville trip[12:57] Hurricanes that sparked the first outreach[14:23] From Florida outreach to Asheville[16:45] What the community was still carrying[18:11] Nurses forming a team in the house[20:23] The courage it takes to receive help[21:40] Simple ways to support these nonprofits[23:24] “I don't have enough to give”[24:55] Small gestures and caring for yourselfConnect with Melanie on social media: Instagram: @mels.crafty.cornerTikTok: @mels.crafty.cornerShop Mel's Crafty Corner!For more information, full transcript and videos visit Nurse.org/podcastJoin our newsletter at nurse.org/joinInstagram: @nurse_orgTikTok: @nurse.orgFacebook: @nurse.orgYouTube: Nurse.org

In June 1948, 21-year-old Mary Virginia Carpenter left Texarkana for college in Denton, Texas. She was last seen after a taxi dropped her near Brackenridge Hall at Texas State College for Women. The letter she promised her mother never came, and neither did Virginia. More than 70 years later, her disappearance remains one of Denton's quiet, enduring mysteries.

Tom welcomes back his younger brother Andy for this annual episode of previewing the Super Bowl! It's the Seattle Seahawks vs. the New England Patriots for Super Bowl LX. Before we get to Andy's top stories of this year's big game, we catch up on the biggest year of his life with a new baby girl – and also that the Eagles won last year's Super Bowl. We sneak in some Taylor Swift talk, including her podcast appearance with the Kelce brothers, and her future mother-in-law appearing on this season of The Traitors. Andy answers some silly yet relevant questions from our YOBBERS community, and he gets vulnerable about why football and the lesser things in life stress him out way more than the larger things do.

This is the third episode in a new season of our Main Street NC series. We're visiting communities across the state to hear from local leaders about the issues and challenges they're facing.The floodwaters of Helene in 2024 washed away much of the spa and resort for which the town of Hot Springs is named, along with many homes and businesses. But the small town north of Asheville has rebounded over the past year, rebuilding shops and houses with private donations and volunteer labor. Leaders there say help from the state and federal government has been slow to arrive, and they're hoping to restore the outdoor-oriented tourism economy that will sustain the reopened businesses.WUNC News visited Hot Springs and spoke with Madison County Manager Rod Honeycutt and Rebuild Hot Springs President TJ Phillips.

Ready to level up your retirement game? We're diving into the 10 essential questions every LGBTQ person should ask before picking their retirement city. Forget about palm trees and sunshine; we're talking about finding a place that vibes with who you are today, not who you were in your 20s. From walkability to genuine LGBTQ friendliness, we've got the scoop on what really matters for your happiness and sanity. Join me and my sassy AI sidekick, Michael, as we navigate the nitty-gritty of making your golden years truly shine!Diving straight into the heart of retirement planning, this week's episode is all about the essential questions every LGBTQ retiree needs to ask when choosing that perfect place to kick back and relax. We start by discussing the importance of picking a city that resonates with who you are today—not who you were 20 years ago. I mean, did you really think a beachside bungalow would still be your jam when you can barely handle a sand grain in your flip-flop? The conversation is rich with insights about walkability, cost of living, and how a place can either support or stifle your daily joy. We even share a few personal anecdotes about our own misadventures in city selection, which, spoiler alert, involved a gator or two in a retention pond. So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let's unravel what makes a retirement city the right fit for you.Next up, we tackle the burning question of LGBTQ friendliness. Spoiler: it's not just about rainbows and parades! We dive into what actual protections look like and how to spot a community that truly embraces you year-round, not just during Pride Month. Think about it—wouldn't it be nice to stroll down the street with your partner without feeling like you're on display? We chat about cities that excel in creating inclusive environments, from the glittering streets of San Francisco to the surprisingly warm vibes of Asheville, North Carolina. Plus, we share how places in Spain set the bar high when it comes to feeling normal and accepted. Trust us; it's a conversation you won't want to miss!Finally, we wrap it all up with the big picture—what does your ideal Tuesday look like in retirement? No, really! Tuesday is the unsung hero of your week, and we explore how the day-to-day aspects of a city can make or break your experience. Accessibility to stores, health care, and even coffee shops play crucial roles in your retirement happiness. We throw in a dash of humor with tales of our own Tuesday escapades, comparing cities that excel at making life easier (hello, Spanish trams!) versus those that turn errands into Olympic events. So, hang tight as we help you navigate these essential questions, ensuring your retirement isn't just about the sun—it's about thriving in your new home!Takeaways:Choosing a retirement city is all about finding the right vibe for who you are today, not who you were in the past.Is the city LGBTQ friendly year-round? Because Pride Month isn't the only time we need love and support!Your Tuesday routine matters more than you think—make sure it fits your retirement lifestyle and makes you happy.Don't forget to check out the healthcare situation; it's crucial to know if you can get the care you need when you need it!Affordability goes beyond just rent; consider all the little costs that can add up and stress you out.Ask yourself if the city supports your dreams for this new chapter of life, because you deserve to thrive!Links...

Today on Consuming the Craft, I welcomed Adam Bachman, the head production distiller and manager at The Chemist. We dove deep into the craft of distilling, from Adam's 11+ years of commercial experience in the industry to the evolution of American single malt whiskey. Adam shared stories from his early days building stills (legally for essential oils!), his academic path through biochemistry at Clemson, and how he transitioned through South Carolina's changing landscape of craft distilleries. We tasted some truly unique spirits and beers, including a locally smoked single malt and an oat whiskey, while discussing the challenges and creative opportunities in the world of craft distillation. Adam Bachman is recognized for his hands-on expertise in distilling whiskey, gin, and liqueurs, with a strong background in biochemistry and a minor in chemistry. He spent six years at 6 and 20 Distillery before moving to Asheville to join The Chemist, where he's helped ramp up whiskey programs, develop new recipes like the limited-edition rye, and recently barrel a small batch peated whiskey. Adam approaches distilling as both art and science, with a passion for experimenting with malts, grains, and local ingredients, and a deep appreciation for how changing techniques shape the identity of each spirit. "Getting second opinions is huge. I always try to get second opinions from the other guys working with us." ~Adam Bachman Today on Consuming the Craft:·     Adam has over a decade of legal, commercial distilling experience and is responsible for spirit production at The Chemist. ·     His background in biochemistry directly informs his craft, providing unique perspectives and technical skills in distilling. ·     The Chemist uses traditional copper pot stills with direct flame; the techniques and nuances are vastly different from hybrid steam systems. ·     Chemist has evolved from a primarily gin-focused operation to a distillery with robust whiskey and rye programs, with Adam leading recipe development. ·     Adam's approach to whiskey includes blending different grains and experimenting with malts to create spirits with depth and complexity, notably in their limited rye and upcoming peated whiskey. ·     Tasting and understanding barrel-aging is a skill built over years, requiring constant monitoring, collaboration, and experience. ·     The growth of American single malt whiskey is opening up new creative possibilities; it's a rapidly growing category with endless flavor options. ·     Adam is also exploring non-alcoholic spirit development, navigating the unique sensory and shelf-life challenges in that emerging market. Connect with Adam: ·     The Chemist Spirits: https://www.chemistspirits.com/·     Instagram: @chemistspirits Resources Mentioned: ·     Oak & Grist (peach wood single malt): https://oakandgrist.com/·     Riverbend Malt House (local malt supplier): https://riverbendmalt.com/·     Brevard Brewing Company (Dunkel): http://www.brevard-brewing.com  ·     Ginger's Revenge (collaboration partner): https://www.gingersrevenge.com/·     Seedlip (non-alcoholic spirits): https://www.seedlipdrinks.com/          http://www.chemistspirits.com/  This episode is brought to you by… McConnell Farms - Taste the Way You Remember.

Off the coast of South Carolina, on Edisto Island, a mausoleum at the back of an old churchyard has become the center of one of the state's most persistent ghost stories. The name “Legare” is carved over the entrance, and for generations people have whispered that a young woman named Julia was buried alive inside. This episode follows the legend to the historical record and asks what we can really know about the woman whose name turned a family tomb into one of South Carolina's most talked-about hauntings.

Forget the headlines. The real story behind today's housing market is more complex than you think. Jay Byce, president of ResiBuilt, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to explain what's often misunderstood about housing today, drawing on economics, demographics and long-term planning rather than headline-driven narratives. Debunking Housing Myths Despite frequent media narratives, institutional investors are not driving up housing costs. Even the largest publicly traded single-family rental developers control only a sliver of the overall market. In fact, they represent well under 1% of the nation's roughly 18 million single-family rental homes. “They cannot affect the market in that way. It's nothing like a monopoly,” Byce said. “They're improving the houses that people are living in, and coming out of the downturn, they renovated homes that were in severe disrepair back in 2011 and 2012.” Affordability challenges follow a simple equation: supply and demand. After more than a decade of underbuilding, the U.S. is short an estimated 5 million homes. When demand consistently outpaces supply, prices rise. Byce also addressed another common misconception — that builders are driving prices higher out of greed. Home builders historically operate on thin margins, averaging roughly 8% to 10% net profit over decades. Public confusion often stems from conflating gross margins with net returns. Land prices, development costs, municipal fees and the cost of capital all weigh heavily on final home prices. Execution efficiency can help, but it cannot offset structural cost increases, particularly those imposed by lengthy entitlement processes and rising local government fees. The Rise of Build-to-Rent ResiBuilt's early focus on build-to-rent was not accidental. Byce explains that the firm began studying millennial housing behavior well before its 2018 launch and concluded that younger households were not rejecting homeownership outright — they were rejecting outdated housing products. Millennials moved from amenity-rich student housing into high-end multifamily communities, only to experience a sharp drop-off in quality when transitioning to traditional starter homes. As a result, many simply opted out. Build-to-rent fills that gap by offering new, finished homes that deliver modern features without the maintenance responsibilities of homeownership. Instead of a millennial-dominated renter base, early communities quickly filled with two core groups: millennials and “young empty nesters,” each accounting for roughly 40% of residents. For empty nesters, build-to-rent offers a lock-and-leave lifestyle without sacrificing space, privacy or the ability to remain in family-oriented environments. Byce points out that the overlap in expectations between renters and buyers is far greater than many assume. Renting and Buying: More Alike than Different As build-to-rent expanded nationally, some operators attempted to cut costs to lower rents. ResiBuilt took the opposite approach. Renters notice quality just as acutely as buyers. From stainless steel appliances to tile backsplashes and upgraded countertops, renters expect durable, high-quality finishes. The modest monthly savings achieved by cutting finishes rarely justify higher long-term maintenance and turnover costs. ResiBuilt has selectively expanded into for-sale housing, which now accounts for about 10% of its annual production. Byce describes the transition as seamless, noting that the company has always designed homes as if they were intended for ownership. “Think about cars, right? So you want to go and buy a car. What do you do? First, you choose the car you want to buy, right?” Byce said. “Then they give you the option. ‘Do you want to put a lot of money down and get a loan on this car, ‘or ‘Do you want to lease this car and just pay a monthly payment?' We kind of thought of it the same way. We want to give people what they expect to buy, but with an option to lease it.” The Long View of Housing Trends Investor appetite for build-to-rent has cooled over the past two years, driven by higher interest rates and strong returns in competing asset classes such as equities. That slowdown has made new deals harder to pencil, even as demand for rental homes remains strong. Still, ResiBuilt continues to plan years ahead. Homebuilding is not reactive and takes time to develop into fruition. Communities delivering in 2028, for example, are being entitled and purchased today. That long lead time creates risk when builders pull back simultaneously. As land purchases slow and fewer projects break ground, the industry may be setting the stage for an even tighter supply environment three years down the road that could push prices higher regardless of interest rate relief. What is the solution? A sharp correction in home prices would erode household wealth for millions of homeowners and risk triggering a broader recession that far outweighs the benefits. Instead, Byce points to a more sustainable path: price stability combined with wage growth and lower interest rates. Even modest improvements on both fronts could meaningfully improve affordability without destabilizing the market. What's Next for the Housing Industry Byce is cautiously optimistic about the near-term outlook. He expects lower rates to unlock pent-up demand and fuel a stronger-than-expected spring housing season. Longer term, he remains confident that 2027 and 2028 will be strong years for housing, driven by demographics and an ongoing supply shortage. Opportunities are increasingly emerging in secondary and tertiary markets, including fast-growing exurbs around Atlanta and metros such as Savannah, Ga., Greenville, S.C., Huntsville, Ala., and Asheville, N.C. These locations boast quality of life, schools and relative affordability that continue to attract buyers and renters alike.

What makes a small Ruby conference feel electric instead of ordinary? We unpack the craft behind Blue Ridge Ruby—why we chose a newly renovated, accessible venue, how a single-track format keeps the room together, and the little details that turn a meetup into a memory. From open lunches across Asheville to surprise sponsor moments, we share the thinking that goes into designing an event that celebrates Ruby, supports new speakers, and still feels human-scale.Jeremy breaks down the CFP playbook: write clear abstracts with specific outcomes, submit widely, and rehearse before acceptance so you're not rushing at the end. With only ten talk slots, curation is both art and constraint. We talk honestly about the selection process, why “no” often means “not now,” and how meetups can incubate a 10-minute idea into a conference-ready talk. We also explore the real costs—venues, video, capacity—and why accessibility drove the move to the YMI Cultural Center.Then we zoom out to the work behind the work: choosing bounded risk to stay motivated, planning sustainable volunteer roles, and creating a container that invites the community to bring their best. On the engineering front, we share how voice-first AI workflows changed our Rails practice. Whisperflow plus LLMs accelerate iteration when conventions set guardrails. We describe using diverge–converge patterns to try multiple implementations, keeping architectural intent while rejecting unnecessary complexity. AI is the nail gun; we're still the builders who decide what the house should be.Want to be part of it? The CFP is open, sponsors are welcome, and volunteers make the magic real.

DEFENDANT: Gilded Age Decadence  EVIDENCE: Biltmore Estate Reserve Chenin Blanc  SCENE OF THE CRIME: The Biltmore Estate, Asheville, NC -- Hey friend — welcome back to True Crimes Against Wine for our first full episode of 2026! We're sipping a slightly off-dry Chenin Blanc (surprise: from Biltmore in North Carolina), chatting about how it tastes like walking through a crisp apple orchard, debating whether monkeys belong at high-society parties, and diving headfirst into the Gilded Age — Mansions, dollar princesses, scandalous debutante balls, and the Vanderbilts' iconic Biltmore Estate. We pair tasting notes (pear, honey, kiwi, and a lovely balancing acidity) with wild historical tangents, food pairing dreams (shishitos, spicy sausage, melon & prosciutto), and way too many fantasies about being wealthy eccentrics. If you love wine stories, architectural daydreams, and irreverent history deep dives, join us for laughs, snacks, and one judge-y quiz. Tell us your snack, your Biltmore memories, and whether you'd host a monkey at your next party. Cheers!

Send us a textThinking of waiting for spring to sell? We unpack why that strategy can backfire, drawing on fresh insights from agents in Connecticut, North Carolina, California, and Utah. Together we map how inventory, buyer motivation, and local price trends—not the calendar—shape your real outcome, whether you're trying to capture top dollar or avoid a long, stressful listing.We start with Connecticut, where scarce inventory keeps buyers active and competitive even in colder months. Then we contrast that with Asheville and Charlotte, where year-over-year declines and a growing pool of listings suggest that each month of waiting can reduce your net. We run the simple math of a 6 percent annual drop, show how price reductions reset comps, and explain why pricing to last year's peak is a costly trap. From Carmel's high-demand reality to Cache County's expected spring relist surge, we dig into how seemingly different markets share one truth: serious buyers don't care about leaves on trees; they care about finding the right home at the right price.You'll hear practical, no-fluff advice on when to list now, how to prepare if you must wait, and what to prioritize: pre-list prep, accurate pricing, fast feedback loops, and a plan for swift adjustments. We also outline options for convenience and certainty, including a full market value cash offer for sellers who want to skip showings and timelines. By the end, you'll have a clear, local-aware framework to decide whether to beat the spring rush or engineer a smarter launch.If this helped you think differently about timing your sale, follow the show, share it with a friend who's debating a spring listing, and leave a quick review to tell us what market you're in and what you're seeing.

The primary focus of this episode is a personal reflection on the significant events that transpired in the year 2025, as narrated by me, the host, Bill Risser. With a career spanning nearly 25 years in the real estate sector, I take this opportunity to share not only the highlights of my podcast journey but also poignant personal experiences that shaped the year. Notably, I recount the momentous occasion of my son Kevin's wedding in Asheville, North Carolina, as well as the subsequent reception hosted in Miami for family and friends. Furthermore, I reflect on the conclusion of the Die Happy Tour, which marked the end of a profound chapter in my life, culminating in the passing of my dear friend John. This monologue aims to encapsulate the myriad of emotions and milestones encountered throughout the year, providing listeners with insight into both my professional and personal realms. In an evocative solo episode of the Real Estate Sessions podcast, host Bill Risser embarks on a profound exploration of the year 2025, characterized by both joyous celebrations and poignant reflections. As he marks a decade of podcasting, Risser opts for a personal monologue that eschews the customary guest interviews, allowing for an unfiltered and intimate narrative. His nearly 25 years of experience in real estate informs his storytelling, yet this episode is less about the industry and more about the personal experiences that have shaped his life. Risser recounts significant personal milestones, such as the wedding celebrations of family members Kevin and Sarah, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Asheville, North Carolina. The vivid imagery he employs brings to life the narrow, winding roads leading to an enchanting Airbnb, creating a sense of adventure and familial joy. The narrative extends to a subsequent reception in Miami, further emphasizing the importance of family gatherings and the connections that bind us. Each anecdote serves to highlight the significance of love and community in navigating life's myriad challenges. Conversely, the episode does not shy away from the weighty themes of loss and remembrance, particularly as Risser reflects on the conclusion of the Die Happy Tour, dedicated to his beloved friend John, who passed away in November. This segment of the narrative is rich with emotion, as Risser shares the final golfing experiences they had together, entwining their shared passions with the poignant reality of mortality. Through these heartfelt reflections, Risser captures the essence of friendship, the bittersweet nature of farewells, and the enduring impact of cherished memories. As he looks forward to the next year, Risser expresses a desire to revitalize the podcast and reconnect with his audience, reinforcing the importance of ongoing dialogue and community in both real estate and life.Takeaways:The host, Bill Risser, reflects on his tenth anniversary of the podcast and shares personal highlights from the year 2025, marking a significant milestone in his journey.During the episode, Bill recounts the memorable wedding of Kevin and Sarah, noting the picturesque setting in Asheville, North Carolina, which provided a stunning backdrop for the celebration.Bill emphasizes the importance of personal connections and experiences, detailing a special family trip to Key West that included engaging activities such as a bike tour and viewing manatees.The episode also touches on the conclusion of the Die Happy Tour, a poignant chapter in Bill's life, reflecting on the impact of his late friend John and the fulfillment of promises made to him.

Many times we look to the year ahead around New Years, but it is perhaps more important to reflect on the year that has just passed.
