What does it feel like to lose your voice — literally — right before you're about to claim it?That's exactly what happened to me.I recently returned from the Azores — a volcanic archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic that sits on the St. Michael Ley Line, one of the most energetically potent lines on the planet. I went to rest. To restore. To breathe.The island had other plans.Within days, I lost my voice. And in the stillness that followed, something came through clear and undeniable:This isn't just losing my voice. This is an upgrade.What This Episode Is Really AboutI talk about:The woman I saw in a café in Portugal who stopped the entire room just by walking in — and what she taught me without saying a wordSix years behind this mic amplifying other voices while quietly dimming my ownThe visibility wound — what it is, why so many of us carry it, and why it shows up as perfectionism, waiting, and performing invisibility before anyone else can make us feel itWhy losing my voice in the Azores was the old energy leaving — literally, physically, cellularlyMy "fuck it" moment — the quiet internal shift that changed everythingWhat the Empress archetype actually looks like when you stop waiting for permission and start reigningAnd the thing I know now with absolute certainty:My age is not my liability. It is my greatest credential.IF YOU'VE EVER FELT INVISIBLE, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU.You're in your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. You feel the shift happening inside you. You don't want to light a candle and say a mantra — you want to shed your previous skin, reconnect with what got buried, and step into something bigger than what you've allowed yourself to be.This isn't decline. This is initiation.It's not just a returning. It's a becoming.And your reign? It begins internally.Grab the BookIf this episode resonated, Empress Rising is where we go deeper.This is the book I channeled when I woke up one morning and knew that the years ahead — the Empress Years — are not years of diminishing. They are years of expansion. Of invincibility. Of finally owning the wisdom you've spent a lifetime earning.

In this episode of People Of Lisbon, we spend time with Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros - a global leader in the world of sports integrity, governance and ethics.Born on the island of São Miguel in the Azores during a time of dictatorship, Emanuel's journey has taken him from the middle of the Atlantic to the frontlines of international sport, where he now works to protect the integrity of the games billions of people love.From major European debates and high-level assemblies to deeply personal reflections on fatherhood, leadership and responsibility, this film explores the mind of a man who believes sport can still be a force for unity, hope and meaning in a divided world.Along the way, Emanuel speaks candidly about corruption, organised crime, courage, conviction and the price of standing up for what you believe in.“Without integrity, sport is not sport.”This is a story about leadership, conscience and purpose - set against the backdrop of Lisbon.  / emanuelmacedodemedeiros    / sigalliance  Please support the partners who help make People Of Lisbon possible:United Medical Clinic LisbonFast and easy access to medical care for expats, tourists & localshttps://lisbon.umc.clinic/MoviinnMoving abroad made simplehttps://www.moviinn.comPractice PortugueseLearn Portuguese from Portugal — as it's spoken in Lisbon, Porto, Algarve and across the countryhttps://www.practiceportuguese.comJoin Club People Of LisbonBecome part of our community and support the project:https://www.peopleoflisbon.comVideo by Stephen O'Regan Photographer Rita Ansone

This episode contains detailed descriptions of violent death, including axe murders and decapitation. If you need to skip this content, advance to the chapter markers below. Support resources are listed at the end of these notes.This EpisodeSeason 40 of Foul Play marks America's 250th anniversary with a series of Twin Portraits — two true crimes from two different states, set in the same decade, examined side by side. This week: two axe murders from the 1890s, one in Massachusetts, one in Tennessee, both forgotten by history.On May 30, 1893, twenty-two-year-old Bertha Manchester was killed in her father's farmhouse outside Fall River, Massachusetts — six days before the Lizzie Borden trial opened fifteen miles away in New Bedford. In March 1897, five members of a German immigrant family were slaughtered on a Tennessee ridge, their house burned to the ground, their case never solved. Two women named in this episode lived into their nineties and never saw justice. Shane and Wendy tell both stories.The Victims (Case A — Massachusetts )Bertha Mabel Manchester was born May 7, 1871, in Fall River, Massachusetts. She was twenty-two years old. Her mother had died when she was young, and she helped run the family dairy farm on New Boston Road — the quiet, rural edge of a city better known for cotton mills and crowded streets. She was home alone on the morning of May 30, 1893, when her father Stephen and her twelve-year-old brother Freddie left with the milk wagon.She fought back. The medical examiner found twenty-three wounds to the back of her skull, defensive cuts on her hands and arms, and clothing torn in the struggle. Five teeth had been knocked out. The same doctor who performed those wounds had examined two other bodies less than a year before — Andrew and Abby Borden, murdered with a hatchet eight miles away the previous August. Dr. William A. Dolan was the medical examiner for Bristol County. He had seen this kind of violence before.The Victims (Case B — Tennessee)Jacob Ade was a German immigrant who had farmed 410 acres on Paradise Ridge, in the northwestern corner of Davidson County, Tennessee, for twenty years. His wife Pauline was fifty. Their daughter Lizzie was eighteen. Their son Henry was thirteen. On the night of March 23, 1897, a ten-year-old neighbor named Rosa Moirer was sleeping over at the Ade farm.By 9:30 that night, a neighbor named Squire Simpson saw a glow on the horizon. He went to investigate with a potato fork lashed to a long pole, probing through the burning debris. He pulled four bodies from the sitting room. All four Ade family members had been decapitated. Rosa Moirer, the neighbor's daughter, was found outside. She had not been decapitated. Her head was still intact. Five people were dead.The Crimes and InvestigationsIn Fall River, a nineteen-year-old Azorean immigrant named José Correia de Mello — who had arrived in America barely one month earlier, spoke no English, and had worked a day or two on the Manchester farm before disappearing — came back to the property on May 30 looking for money he believed Stephen Manchester owed him. When his uncle was told police needed him as a witness to a horse theft, de Mello went to the station without any idea he was a suspect. A shoe store owner testified that de Mello had tried to pay for new shoes using a trade dollar and a plugged half-dollar — the distinctive coins known to have been in Bertha's stolen purse. On September 18, 1893, de Mello changed his plea to guilty of second-degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison. He walked out on January 31, 1914 — twenty-one years later — and was deported to the Azores. No record of him survives after that.In Tennessee, the case produced theories but no convictions. Jacob Ade had withdrawn approximately $200 from a Nashville bank the day he died, intended as a loan for a neighbor. The money was never found. Investigators considered the neighbor Henry Moirer, whose daughter Rosa was among the dead; a man named Ed Anderson with whom Jacob had quarreled over hogs; and a group of men from Ashland City whose confessions didn't match the physical evidence and who were eventually released. Every trial ended in acquittal. The Paradise Ridge axe murders have never been solved.Historical ContextBoth cases belong to the same decade — the 1890s — when the United States was processing waves of immigration, rapid industrialization, and deep regional tensions a generation after the Civil War. In Fall River, José de Mello arrived in a city with one of the largest Portuguese-American populations in New England. The community that helped deliver him to police later spent years petitioning for his release. In Tennessee, the racial climate meant that multiple Black men from Ashland City were arrested, subjected to interrogation, and coerced into confessions that investigators ultimately couldn't use. Both cases carry the shadow of a justice system that worked very differently depending on who stood before it.Rosa Ade married Lawrence James Hehir in Nashville on January 20, 1897 — just two months before her family was killed. She lived until May 17, 1962. She was ninety years old. The Tennessee Centennial Exposition opened in Nashville five weeks after her family was buried on the Ade property in March 1897. The state was celebrating. A family had been erased.In 2023 — a hundred and thirty years after Bertha Manchester's death — William D. Spencer published *The Other Fall River Tragedy* through the Fall River Historical Society. It was the first full-length account of her case. A historical marker for the Ade family was erected in 2018 at 3000 Morgan Road in Joelton by the Historical Commission of Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County. A small road called Jacobs Valley runs through what was once the Ade homestead, named in honor of Jacob Ade.Our Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code SHANE for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, Ray Cochrane breaks down a reversible conductive glue from Newcastle University that could replace solder and finally make electronics recycling work. Additional stories cover China widening its clean energy lead, DeepMind’s AlphaEvolve scoring wins from genomics to Google’s database, Anthropic’s $200 million partnership with the Gates Foundation, Intel teaming up with McLaren Racing, and end-to-end encrypted RCS rolling out in beta. – Want to start a podcast?

Support my Show Sponsor: Best Godaddy Promo Codes Get 1Password Full Summary Cochrane opens the show with a deep dive into Newcastle University’s reversible conductive glue, a water-based adhesive that could finally make electronics recycling economically viable. He frames the e-waste problem first: 62 billion kilos a year, with less than a quarter ever recycled. Then he walks through the silver nanoparticle chemistry, the lead-free angle on traditional solder, and the geopolitical stakes of critical mineral recovery. From there the episode pivots through energy, AI, hardware, open source, data research, space, science, and consumer privacy. A Reversible Conductive Glue That Could Replace Solder A team at Newcastle University has developed a water-based glue that conducts electricity well enough to replace solder. Unlike solder, however, the glue releases cleanly with a quick rinse of acetone or an alkaline bath. The breakthrough relies on silver nanoparticles suspended in a water-based binder. Consequently, components can be recovered intact, opening a viable path to electronics recycling at scale. Co-investigator Volker Pickert framed the second prize directly: solder has the best conductivity, but the best formulations contain lead. China Widens Its Clean Energy Lead A new Atlas Public Policy report shows Chinese firms accounted for 55 percent of $1.1 trillion in global clean energy manufacturing investment between 2019 and 2025. Battery manufacturing alone pulled in nearly half of that money. Meanwhile, U.S. companies have actively retreated from those same industries. With the Strait of Hormuz currently closed, supply chain ownership in solar, wind, and batteries matters more than ever. A separate Ember analysis showed Chinese solar panel exports doubled in March alone. DeepMind’s AlphaEvolve Scores Real Wins DeepMind published an update on AlphaEvolve, its Gemini-powered AI coding agent. The system cut genomic variant detection errors by 30 percent. Additionally, it lifted AC Optimal Power Flow feasibility from 14 to over 88 percent on the electrical grid. AlphaEvolve also found a better cache replacement policy in two days that would have taken human engineers months. Furthermore, it reduced write amplification in Google’s Spanner database by 20 percent. The pattern shows applied AI sticking, not as a chatbot but as a quiet optimizer. Anthropic and Gates Foundation Commit $200 Million Anthropic announced a four-year, $200 million partnership with the Gates Foundation across three pillars. The biggest pillar targets global health and life sciences in low and middle-income countries. Notably, the research scope includes polio, HPV, and preeclampsia. A second pillar covers AI in education across the U.S., sub-Saharan Africa, and India, in partnership with the Global AI for Learning Alliance. Finally, an economic mobility pillar focuses on agricultural productivity and crop benchmarks. Google’s AI Educator Series Launches Free Google rolled out the first 20-plus sessions of its AI Educator Series this week. The free AI literacy training targets the roughly 6 million K-12 and higher education teachers across the U.S. Modules are designed as short, snackable trainings teachers can finish in a prep period or a lunch break. Additionally, stackable workshops let educators build credentials over time. Importantly, the program requires no institutional subscription. Amazon Bedrock Prompt Optimization Goes GA Amazon Bedrock dropped its Advanced Prompt Optimization tool, now generally available across most major regions. The feature rewrites prompts to perform better on specific models and automates prompt migration when switching between models. Furthermore, a built-in evaluation feedback loop lets users benchmark against up to five models side by side. The default judge model is Claude Sonnet 4.6. Consequently, teams can stop hand-tuning string templates and focus on product work. Sponsor: GoDaddy Economy hosting $6.99/month, WordPress hosting $12.99/month, domains $11.99.

Intel Becomes McLaren Racing’s Official Compute Partner Intel announced a multi-year deal as the official compute partner for McLaren Racing. The agreement covers the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 team, Arrow McLaren IndyCar, and McLaren F1 Sim Racing. Trackside edge compute will power real-time race decisions, while Xeon and Core Ultra silicon drive Computational Fluid Dynamics and digital twin work. Consequently, design iterations that once took weeks now collapse to days. The deal puts Intel silicon in front of every CTO watching a Grand Prix. Rust Lands 13 Google Summer of Code Projects The Rust Project landed 13 accepted projects in Google Summer of Code 2026. Out of 96 proposals, a 50 percent jump from last year, the project selected 13. Notably, three returning contributors from prior years are back. Mentors flagged a noticeable share of AI-generated submissions as a growing challenge. Furthermore, the real bottleneck remains mentor capacity rather than funding. GitHub Innovation Graph Maps Digital Complexity Researchers used GitHub Innovation Graph data to predict GDP, inequality, and emissions through the Economic Complexity Index, or ECI. Countries are compared to kitchens; the more variety and sophistication in software output, the higher the score. Germany ranks first, followed by Australia and Canada. The U.S. lands at sixth. However, the dataset only captures public GitHub activity, leaving most proprietary software invisible. NASA and Eta Space Prepare Cryogenic Fuel Demo NASA is teaming with Eta Space on an in-orbit demonstration called LOXSAT, short for Liquid Oxygen Flight Demonstration. The nine-month mission tests cryogenic fluid management techniques required for in-space propellant depots. Launch is no earlier than July 17 aboard a Rocket Lab Electron from the Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand. Successful refueling in orbit could reshape what is possible for deep-space missions to the Moon and Mars. Stealth Magma Surge Under São Jorge Surprises Researchers Researchers in the UK and Spain published in Nature Communications on a 2022 magma surge under São Jorge Island in the Azores. The surge climbed from more than 20 kilometers underground to 1.6 kilometers below the surface. Surprisingly, most of the thousands of earthquakes happened after the magma stalled, not during the climb. Consequently, scientists are calling it a stealth surge and a failed eruption. A primed magma chamber now sits closer to the surface than before. End-to-End Encrypted RCS Begins Rolling Out Apple and Google led a cross-industry effort to roll out end-to-end encryption for RCS messaging. As of May 11, the feature is rolling out in beta on both platforms. Importantly, encryption is on by default and auto-applies to new and existing conversations. A lock icon in the chat indicates active end-to-end encryption. This quietly raises baseline privacy for billions of cross-platform messages.

El redescubrimiento de las Canarias por parte de los europeos se produjo durante el siglo XIV. Una serie de expediciones mallorquinas, portuguesas, italianas y castellanas tocaron las costas insulares con diversos propósitos, desde la captura de esclavos hasta la evangelización. La presencia castellana se afianzó con la expedición de Jean de Béthencourt y Gadifer de la Salle entre 1402 y 1405, que ocuparon las islas de Lanzarote, Fuerteventura y El Hierro para convertirlas en señoríos castellanos. A mediados del siglo XV, La Palma, Tenerife y Gran Canaria seguían siendo independientes. Gran Canaria, la tercera isla más extensa del archipiélago, estaba dividida en dos guanartematos, el de Telde y el de Gáldar. Aquellos canarios tenían una sociedad relativamente compleja que vivía de la agricultura y la ganadería caprina. Era además una isla fácil de defender por su gran tamaño y su abrupto relieve. Pero los castellanos estaban determinados a conquistar la isla porque era de gran valor estratégico para controlar las rutas marítimas hacia el África occidental. Tenía además un potencial azucarero similar al de Madeira, una isla más al norte que los portugueses habían convertido en un próspero ingenio. El tratado de Alcazobas, firmado en 1479 tras la guerra de sucesión castellana, permitió a los Reyes Católicos concentrarse en las Canarias a cambio de reconocer la primacía portuguesa en Madeira, las Azores, Cabo Verde y el golfo de Guinea. La Corona decidió entonces asumir directamente la conquista de Gran Canaria como una empresa propia. La primera fase comenzó en junio de 1478 con el desembarco de Juan Rejón en La Isleta, donde fundó el Real de Las Palmas. La batalla del Guiniguada enfrentó a las tropas castellanas con los canarios mandados por el guanarteme de Gáldar y por el caudillo Doramas. Pese a la bravura indígena, la superioridad técnica castellana se impuso. Las disputas internas culminaron con la ejecución del alcaide Pedro de Algaba por orden de Rejón, que sería asesinado posteriormente en La Gomera por agentes de Hernán Peraza. En 1480 la reina Isabel intervino nombrando a Pedro de Vera, un jerezano curtido en la frontera granadina, que abandonó la idea de batirse con los canarios en campo abierto. En su lugar se decantó por avanzar hacia el interior de la isla fortificándose por el camino. Junto a eso de Vera explotó en su beneficio las rivalidades internas, se atrajo aliados indígenas y contó con la labor evangelizadora de fray Juan de Frías, lo que anticiparía los métodos que aplicarían décadas después Hernán Cortés y Francisco Pizarro en las Indias. La conquista concluyó entre 1482 y 1483. La captura del caudillo Tenesor Semidán, al que bautizaron en Castilla como don Fernando Guanarteme, resultó de una importancia capital. Guanarteme se encargó de ir convenciendo a los isleños para que no resistiesen a la conquista. Pero no lo consiguió con todos. Los irreductibles, capitaneados por Bentejuí y el faycán de Telde, se atrincheraron en Ansite. Rodeados por las tropas castellanas el 29 de abril de 1483 se arrojaron al vacío antes de rendirse. La Corona procedió entonces al repartimiento de tierras, introdujo la caña de azúcar y se formó una sociedad mestiza con colonos peninsulares y de otras partes de Europa. De aquel crisol humano y cultural surgiría la Gran Canaria moderna. Para hablar de esta conquista nos acompaña hoy en La ContraHistoria Carlos Pérez Simancas, nuestro experto en historia de las Canarias con quien ya vimos hace tiempo la conquista de la isla vecina, la de Tenerife, que se realizó unos años después.

Cuando la OTAN nació en abril de 1949 entre sus doce miembros fundadores figuraba Portugal, un país gobernado desde hacía casi dos décadas por el dictador António de Oliveira Salazar. España, en cambio, tuvo que esperar hasta 1982 para poder acceder. El franquismo y el Estado Novo portugués eran dos regímenes ideológicamente hermanos que compartían inspiración católica, corporativismo, partido único y desprecio por la democracia liberal. ¿Por qué admitieron a Portugal, pero no a España? La clave no está en la ideología, sino en lo que cada dictador hizo entre 1939 y 1945. Franco había recibido ayuda directa de Hitler y Mussolini durante la guerra civil, vistió su régimen con los ropajes fascistas de Falange, se reunió con el Führer en Hendaya y, sobre todo, envió la División Azul al frente ruso. Aquel gesto, pensado para saldar deudas pasadas manteniendo la ilusión de la neutralidad, se convirtió para los aliados en la prueba incontestable de que se había alineado con las potencias del Eje. Salazar jugó otra partida muy distinta. Practicó lo que los historiadores portugueses llaman "neutralidad geométrica”. Vendía wolframio a ambos bandos, pero mantuvo intacta la vieja alianza con Inglaterra. Cuando en 1943 Churchill invocó un tratado medieval para poder instalar bases en las Azores, Salazar cedió. Aquellas islas, situadas en mitad del Atlántico, resultaron decisivas para cerrar el agujero en el cazaban los submarinos alemanes. Portugal pasó así a estar, de forma muy discreta, del lado de los aliados. En 1945 se condenó explícitamente a Franco en la conferencia de Potsdam. Un años más tarde la recién fundada ONU recomendó la retirada de embajadores de Madrid y España quedó aislada internacionalmente. Portugal, en cambio, entró en la OTAN porque sin las Azores la alianza atlántica era inconcebible. Franco se conformó con los Pactos de Madrid de 1953 y con unas bases americanas que le permitieron normalizarse. La apariencia, las formas y la geografía marcaron la diferencia de dos dictaduras que, en casi todo lo demás, fueron de la mano.

In this episode, I take you with me to São Miguel in the Azores, where powerful crystalline and Golden Atlantean frequencies surprised me in the most beautiful way. What began as a simple walk toward a waterfall became a real-time calibration with the waters, the rock guardians, and the elemental presence woven through the land.From there, we travel to Sete Cidades, a volcanic caldera site where we tuned into an etheric retreat for a council of Golden Ascended Masters anchored just beyond what the physical eye can see. The wind rises, the trees witness, and the transmissions flow directly from the landscape itself.This is on-site gridwork, spontaneous channeling, and remembering through the Earth. I am so honored to share it with you.Join Eye of Horus Quantum Codex: https://www.activationswithjj.com/offers/5kQxfQUv

Kelsey sits down with Joy Smith from Franklin, TN, creator of Savvy Travel Mamas (Instagram + podcast), to share the ultimate Harry Potter-inspired trip for a 12-year-old. After Joy's son finished all seven books, she promised to take him to iconic filming locations and bring the magic to life and in summer 2025, they did exactly that!From London highlights and a special Harry Potter afternoon tea to the must-do Warner Bros.

¡Hola fotógrafo! ¿Cómo estás?Todavía tengo arena en las botas, salitre en la mochila y la cabeza llena de recuerdos del último viaje a Azores. Y claro… había que contarlo.En el podcast de hoy te hago un resumen sin filtros de lo que ha sido el viaje con mi bro David Gamez y los testimonios de los asistentes: localizaciones brutales, madrugones épicos, risas que no caben en una tarjeta de memoria, improvisaciones meteorológicas y ese tipo de momentos que solo pasan cuando juntas a un grupo de fotógrafos con ganas de comerse el mundo.Te hablo de fotos que salieron, fotos que no salieron, anécdotas que no se pueden planificar y de por qué este tipo de viajes son mucho más que hacer clic. Son experiencias que te cambian la forma de mirar.Si te gustan los viajes fotográficos y quieres vivir un poco desde dentro cómo se cuece uno… este programa es para ti y si quieres viajar, en marzo nos vamos a Islandia y hay una plaza libre… https://www.fotografonocturno.com/cursos/islandia-marzo-2026/ ¡Dentro podcast!

Señoras, señores, me alegro. Buenos días.Bueno, ya son las ocho de la mañana, las siete en Canarias.Por ahí anda Oriana. Ayer, vaya viento en Cataluña. Hoy, cuidado, Tarragona, alerta naranja.Y parece que se despeja la cosa, nos dice Maldonado.A partir del lunes tal vez llegue por aquí el ansiado anticiclón de las Azores.A las siete de la mañana les contábamos la historia de un expediente que es de misterio: estaba Sánchez o no estaba en la reunión de la Unión Europea, previa y luego la no previa en el castillo belga de Alden-Biesen, porque parece que estaba muy enfadado porque le habían dejado aparte.Miren, no se confundan. Sánchez no defrauda nunca. Su naturaleza pendenciera es legendaria. Yo creo que está para análisis de atención profesional. Se pega con su partido, con la oposición, con los supervillanos, con Trump, con la OTAN y también con los socios europeos. Él es la bronca permanente por todo, contra todos, con motivo y sin ...

El anticiclón de las Azores se acerca el lunes, mientras la borrasca Oriana trae lluvias, nieve, fuertes vientos y un descenso de temperaturas. Pedro Sánchez genera controversia por su ausencia en una reunión previa a la cumbre europea. Se le acusa de buscar la confrontación con Meloni para una imagen progresista, lo que margina a España de decisiones cruciales y es contraproducente para la defensa europea y las relaciones transatlánticas, tema clave en Múnich. José Luis Ábalos, figura central del sanchismo, comparece en el Tribunal Supremo con sus defensas rechazadas, simbolizando al sanchismo en el banquillo, mientras el PSOE se distancia. Internamente, Emiliano García Paje reclama adelantar las generales, y Óscar López culpa a Javier Lambán (fallecido) de la derrota de Pilar Alegría en Aragón, evidenciando profundas divisiones en el PSOE. El Congreso aprueba la ley de multirreincidencia. VOX adopta una estrategia inflexible en Extremadura, pidiendo consejerías imposibles que ...

In Episode 80 of Geopolitics with Ghost, Ghost breaks down a significant press conference following a high level meeting between Colombian President Gustavo Petro and President Trump, focusing on what it reveals about the global drug trade and shifting geopolitical alignments. Drawing directly from Petro's remarks, the episode explores how drug trafficking power no longer sits with armed groups in the jungle, but with international financial networks operating out of major global cities. Ghost walks through the details of recent multinational cocaine seizures, including narco submarines intercepted near Colombia and the Azores, and explains why these operations signal a move toward intelligence driven, top down targeting of the true “bosses of bosses.” The discussion also examines Petro's rejection of sanctions, his criticism of traditional drug war tactics, and his emphasis on economic reform, crop substitution, and international cooperation. Throughout the episode, Ghost connects these developments to broader questions of sovereignty, diplomacy, and the future of coordinated global enforcement efforts, highlighting why these events may represent a meaningful shift in how transnational crime is confronted.

Dan shares tales of two islands this week. We'll head to the remote Pacific Samoan island of Ofu, where there's a stretch of beach so feared that many locals refuse to walk it after dark. A place believed to be a gathering ground for spirits who've never crossed over. A place where ghosts can do more than just scare you. Next, we'll head to the other side of the world to the Azores.  High above a volcanic crater on São Miguel, an abandoned luxury hotel looms out of the fog  - a five-star dream that collapsed almost as soon as it opened. Visitors today report footsteps in empty hallways, voices in stairwells, and the unmistakable feeling of being watched by something that never left. A little less exotic but equally as creepy, Lynze brings us a tale from Spokane. The story of an entity that has attached itself to a someone and still lingers close today. To wrap up, we go to a midwest county fair where two young friends get more than they bargained for at the fun house. Bad Magic Monthly Donation: This month, we are donating to the HALO Dental Network.

Kelsey chats with Jen (@diveintopoints on Instagram) from Wisconsin, who lives on a hobby farm with her husband and three kids (a 6 year old daughter and 4 year old twin boys). Jen, her family, and her parents headed to San Diego in October 2025 staying at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, booked on points.In this episode, Jen shares about the waterslides and pools their kids couldn't get enough of, plus beach time at Mission Beach, beautiful sunset views, and their favorite moments at SeaWorld and aboard the USS Midway. Quick note: our connection dropped at the very end of recording, so Jen's answer to the final Trip Tales question is here in the show notes. If someone out there is considering this trip, what is it about San Diego and the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay that would make you say: Just Book It? I'd say just book it because you can't beat an easy trip to soak up the sunshine, slip down waterslides and enjoy a family friendly resort. Kids grow up too fast to not take the trip! -JenThis episode is now available to watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kelseygravesIf you'd like to share about your trip on the podcast, email me at: kelsey@triptalespodcast.comBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/kelseygravesFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsey_gravesFollow me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mskelseygravesJoin us in the Trip Tales Podcast Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1323687329158879Mentioned in this episode:- Link to the inflatable travel bed: https://amzlink.to/az0wCGVzlVgpS- Link to inflatable booster seat: https://amzlink.to/az0xDyfGJ0mGH- Link to collapsible beach toys: https://amzlink.to/az0f5UVVALIq8- Points and Miles, Delta and Hyatt- Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, Guest of Honor- USS Midway- Kids Free San Diego in October- Flytographer- Tecolote Playground- Mission Beach- Sea World: Dolphins, Orcas, Sea Lions- Red Marlin restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Mission BayTrip Tales is a travel podcast sharing real vacation stories and trip itineraries for family travel, couples getaways, cruises, and all-inclusive resorts.

A prospector's peaceful camping trip in British Columbia turns into a six-day nightmare when he's kidnapped in his sleeping bag and carried miles into the mountains by an eight-foot Sasquatch.IN THIS EPISODE: When mine owners cut wages in 1870s Pennsylvania, the Molly Maguires fought back and ultimately won what would become the first labor war in U.S. history… although they had to assassinate a couple dozen people to do it. (Inside The Molly Maguires) *** Numerous cultures have images of a being tied to nature – simply called “The Green Man”. But how can so many different cultures spanning so many years have almost the exact same representation of him? (Digging Into The Roots of the Green Man) *** There is a scary urban legend from Spain about a bizarre website that offers you the ultimate horror experience. Apparently, the experience can prove to be lethal. (The Blind Maiden) *** In 1898, reports of a brutal killing surfaced in Ontario, Canada… and it was only then that the settlers finally began to believe what the local Algonquin tribe had been telling them about the Wendigo. (Horror of the Wendigo) *** The Azores island chain in the Atlantic is said by sailors to be the site of strange and disturbing events. Some are so spooked by the waters surrounding these islands that they refuse to go there. (Vanishings Around the Azores) *** Is it true that Bigfoot has abducted humans and run off with them? There are numerous stories that seem to lay credence to the idea!
