Bands rarely fall apart because somebody missed a chord.They fall apart because expectations about money, gigs, rehearsals, song choices, musical standards, commitment, and leadership go unspoken until somebody finally blows up.This week, we brought in somebody who actually knows what he's talking about.Dr. Jesse Erdheim is an industrial-organizational psychologist and wellbeing coach with more than 20 years of experience working with motivation, conflict, burnout, leadership, and change. He also fronts a working classic-rock cover band—so he understands band dysfunction from both sides.We talk about:*Why bands are uniquely difficult organizations*How mismatched expectations turn into resentment*How to give musical criticism without destroying morale*What psychological safety actually looks like in a band*Why emotional regulation matters before a difficult conversation*What to do when your band culture has already become unhealthyOne of the biggest lessons: sometimes the explosion you think came out of nowhere actually started months earlier when everyone stopped checking whether they were still working toward the same goal. Jesse describes his own experience with a guitarist whose frustration over money and travel finally erupted at a show—and how that changed the way his band communicates with new members.If you're a band leader, working musician, or anyone currently sitting in a group text wondering “How the hell did we get here?”—this episode is for you.More from Dr. Jesse Erdheim:jesseerdheim.comUpcoming book: A Full Cup: Reflections on Living WellJesse also fronts The Backroads, a Durham-area cover band performing around Durham, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough.https://www.facebook.com/thebackroadsdurham/https://www.instagram.com/the.back.roads__/#CoverBand #BandDrama #WorkingMusician #BandLeader #musicbusiness 00:00 Podcast kickoff00:55 Meet Dr Jesse01:53 From GNR to gigging03:48 Band leadership style05:37 Shared vision basics08:14 Why bands are hard10:21 Gig meltdown story12:44 Assumptions and alignment17:47 Common band problems23:20 Giving feedback safely27:16 Trust Bank Accounts27:44 Giving Notes With Care28:25 Adaptability Over Control30:02 Does The Audience Care31:03 Perfectionism And Perspective31:58 Are Musicians Different34:54 Win Win Band Leadership37:30 Pre Show Regulation Routine39:38 Time Confetti Planning42:09 Hard Conversations Toolkit45:30 Stop Rumination Loops49:59 Relationships And Wrap Up

Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. What lurks in the shadows of Ohio's backroads, forgotten cemeteries, and hidden corners of history? Join us as we uncover the Buckeye State's most chilling legends, mysterious sightings, and enduring folklore. Marblehead Lighthouse: The Guardian of Lake Erie Perched on the rocky shores of Lake Erie, the Marblehead Lighthouse has stood watch over Ohio's dangerous western basin for nearly two centuries. In this episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads, we travel to the Marblehead Peninsula to explore the history, legends, shipwrecks, keepers, and stories surrounding one of Ohio's most recognizable landmarks. Built in 1822, Marblehead Lighthouse is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes. For generations, its beacon has guided ships safely around the rocky Marblehead Peninsula and toward the harbors of Lake Erie. But behind that familiar tower is a fascinating history filled with storms, treacherous waters, lighthouse keepers, and the ever-present danger of the lake. We'll look at why the lighthouse was built, what life was like for the keepers and their families, and how the technology of the light changed over the years. We'll also explore some of the dramatic storms and maritime disasters that occurred in the waters surrounding Marblehead—and the stories of the men and women who kept the light burning when Lake Erie turned violent. From the lonely life of a lighthouse keeper to the ships battling darkness, fog, ice, and massive waves, the Marblehead Lighthouse is more than a beautiful landmark. It is a reminder of the dangerous relationship between Ohio and the Great Lakes. So join Dan and Stephen as we head down the backroads to Marblehead, Ohio, and uncover the history and mysteries behind the Marblehead Lighthouse—the guardian of Lake Erie. Blending local history, eyewitness accounts, folklore, and a healthy dose of skepticism, this podcast explores the legends that refuse to die.

Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. In tonight's episode we talk with author Kelly Boyer Sagert about her award winning book entitled: "Wells Waite Miller and Me. An 8th OVI Civil War biography". Her fantastic book chronicles the life of the Civil War veteran Wells Waite Miller and his heroic efforts to help the Union win the war. On July 3, 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg, twenty-one-year-old Captain Wells Waite Miller of the 8th Ohio Voluntary Infantry fought in the bloody heat of Pickett's Charge as dying men fell all around him. Ultimately, though, his “bruised and undersized regiment” played a crucial role in the Union victory. Chosen to lead an outpost about one hundred yards away from the main Union line, against seemingly insurmountable odds, Miller and 150 courageous men faced down six thousand desperate Rebels. Fighting valiantly, they “broke an entire . . . brigade of the Army of Northern Virginia.” Miller nearly died from his wounds, and this book reconstructs and celebrates the life of this forgotten Civil War hero—and the incredible synchronicities that exist between his life story and that of the author. The book also contains dozens of photos, most never published before, along with information directly from numerous descendants of Miller. Miller lived a captivating life before, during, and after the Civil War: a student in Oberlin during a tumultuous time in history; courageous soldier; briefly, a teacher; a highly respected agriculturist; revered member of his community; dedicated, trusted politician; and a son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather. You can order the book at local North Eastern Bookstores, (soon to be on) Amazon or direct from her website:https://kbsagert.com/ Kelly is a lot of fun and has several upcoming appearances to hear her speak about the book.

What happens when our modern schooling system reaches its logical conclusion—one optimized for a thin slice of intellectual testing that the computer in our pocket can now ace in seconds? In this episode of An Educated Guest, host Todd Zipper sits down with Abby Falik, the founder of Global Citizen Year and the creator of the flight school, an innovative global community without a physical campus designed to provide an education higher than higher ed. Abby shares how her early experiences as a Backroads trip guide and her two decades of dedicated Vipassana meditation practice converged to form a living laboratory aimed at moving learning entirely beyond traditional schooling.The conversation dives deep into the concept of human agency, exploring how the hyper-distractions of 2026 threaten our innate ability to choose our responses to the world around us. Abby explains why the flight school completely upends the classic "gap year" narrative, choosing instead to view this transitional life stage as a structured "launch year." By guiding ambitious young seekers from dozens of countries through specialized modules on rethinking success, time, attention, and money, the program serves as a secure base for daring global explorations that reshape identity from the inside out.Ultimately, Todd and Abby unpack the exhilarating inflection point currently facing higher education as the traditional credential economy faces unprecedented disruption. Moving past rigid metrics and AP-course arms races, they discuss what it truly means to build learning pathways centered around the "immeasurables"—qualities like equanimity, attention, and vitality. Whether you are an institutional leader looking to navigate the era of AI, a parent trying to foster resilience in your children, or a seeker trying to align your livelihood with genuine aliveness, this episode serves as a beautiful invitation to make the leap from fear to freedom.

A road rally sounds like racing until you learn the best teams win by thinking, not speeding. We sit down with John Poulos from the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Texas Region to break down what road rally really means: precision driving on public roads, sharp navigation, and a driver-navigator team solving a moving puzzle while trying not to miss a turn.We dig into the different “flavors” of SCCA road rallies, from time speed distance formats to scavenger-hunt style gimmick rallies, then zoom in on a DFW shortest-distance map rally where you do not get a pre-set route. You get a map, a stack of waypoints, and limited planning time to build the most efficient loop, hit every location, and come back with the lowest mileage. We also cover practical details people always ask about: street-legal car requirements, classes based on experience (not car type), odometer calibration, time limits, and how modern GPS rally apps can verify waypoint visits without needing volunteers posted everywhere.After the rally talk, we pivot into two more listener-favorite segments: Jeff's Car Culture on choosing the right car jack for your garage (including low-profile and specialty options), and Mike Marrs' driving destinations that turn Houston's flood-control engineering into real places you can visit, like Addicks Reservoir, Barker Reservoir, Buffalo Bayou, Terry Hershey Park, and the San Jacinto Monument view.Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a new kind of car event, and leave a review so more drivers can find the show.

Send us a text! We love hearing from listeners. If you'd like a response, please include your email. Howdy! This week on the Ordinary Extraordinary Cemetery podcast, Jennie and Dianne are joined by award-winning author and historian Mary Ellen Pethel, who shares the Ordinary Extraordinary story of Sarah Ophelia Colley Cannon, or as most of the world knows her, Minnie Pearl! Born in 1912 in Centerville, Tennessee, Sarah often recalled how her upbringing in a small town shaped her outlook on life. After moving to Nashville during the Great Depression to study theater, she joined a touring company and developed the iconic country girl persona we know today, inspired by her friend Mattie Burden. Her big break came in 1940 when she debuted at the Grand Ole Opry, making audiences laugh with her signature greeting and comedic style. Over her fifty-plus year career, she shared the stage with country music legends like Patsy Cline and Hank Williams, while also mentoring young artists like Elvis Presley and Garth Brooks, new to the industry. As Dolly Parton said, "Minnie Pearl became my friend in 1964. I was 18, new in town, and Minnie Pearl took me under her wing. She gave me good advice, the how to's, the how not to's, the when to's, and the when not to's. I learned a lot from her as a woman and as a professional entertainer but above all that, as a good, solid human being. Minnie was more than a big laugh. She was a big heart, and I will always love her."Image Credit: By Denny-Moeller Talent, Inc.

TEATIME WITH MISS LIZ SERVES: Haley StrawTitleAmish Stories & Hidden Journeys: Finding Courage on the Backroads of Life TaglineSometimes the roads we never planned to travel become the ones that transform us most. DescriptionOn June 9th at 3 PM EST, Teatime with Miss Liz welcomes Haley Straw — author, homeschooling mother of six, and former Amish taxi driver whose unexpected journey opened the door to a world few people ever truly see. What began as a fearful decision to drive Amish families to weddings, funerals, hospitals, and emergencies became a life-changing experience rooted in faith, resilience, simplicity, and human connection. Through years spent travelling, laughter, courage, and the beauty found in ordinary moments. Her storytelling reflects the deeper truths that emerge when life pushes us beyond our comfort zones and into unexpected growth. This Teatime explores transformation, authenticity, faith, courage, community, and the unseen ways life reshapes us through everyday experiences. Opening:Welcome, remind us how deeply connected humanity truly is. Today's guest brings us into a world many people are curious about, but few truly experience firsthand. Haley Straw's journey began with uncertainty and fear, but one unexpected opportunity completely changed the direction of her life. Driving Amish families through moments of celebration, hardship, loss, and everyday life became more than a job — it became a journey of understanding, growth, and discovery of the beauty hidden in ordinary moments. Her story reminds us that courage is not always loud. Sometimes courage quietly shows up on one road, one conversation, and one choice at a time. Haley, welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz. Closing: Tonight's conversation reminds us that transformation often happens slowly and quietly. Haley Straw's journey through Amish country shows us the beauty of simplicity, the power of human connection, and the courage it takes to cross unseen boundaries in life. Sometimes we believe growth comes through grand moments, but often it's found on ordinary roads, in unexpected conversations, and in the willingness to keep moving forward even when we are afraid. As we leave today's Teatime, may we all reflect on this: What unseen journey in your own life may actually be shaping you into who you are meant to become? Haley Straw is an author, former Amish taxi driver, and homeschooling mother of six whose life was transformed through years spent driving Amish families throughout rural Missouri. Through storytelling rooted in faith, resilience, and authenticity, she shares powerful reflections on courage, community, simplicity, and the quiet transformation found in everyday life.

I guess in the short time that I've been doing true crime episodes, it would be inevitable for me to speak to someone arrested for murder. But leave it to me to be able to get it done in 3 tries, instead of 1! Nonetheless, I found this to be a very different type of interview for me, as you would expect. Michael was as brutally honest with me in this interview as he is in his book. He is someone clearly self-aware of who he is and what he is incarcerated for. If you've seen the episode of "Evil Lives Here", you'll notice that he is a large man who is now confined to a wheelchair as a result of injuries and health problems. In his book, he mentions that he weighed over 300 pounds while in the Iron Horsemen and working as a mob enforcer. I thought the show was an interesting companion piece to the book. He doesn't portray himself as neither a victim or a hero, but as a man who chose violence after his own abused upbringing. (I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, Rebels.)

Hello Ohio Mysteries Backroads listeners. Before the bombings, power struggles, and notorious crime bosses that would make Cleveland infamous, there was a small but determined network of Italian immigrants building a criminal empire in the shadows. In this episode, we explore the origins of the Cleveland Mafia, tracing its roots from the late 19th and early 20th centuries as immigrant communities established themselves in Northeast Ohio. Discover how early organized crime figures Joe Leonard and Joe Morello leveraged gambling, bootlegging, extortion, and political connections to create the foundation of what would become one of America's most influential Mafia families. We'll uncover the key personalities, pivotal events, and social conditions that allowed the Cleveland crime syndicate to emerge and grow. From the challenges faced by immigrant neighborhoods to the rise of Prohibition-era opportunities, this episode reveals how the Cleveland underworld evolved from a loose collection of street gangs into a structured criminal organization that would shape the city's history for decades. Join us as we examine the origins of the Cleveland Mafia and the beginnings of a story that would leave a lasting mark on both organized crime and Cleveland itself. Tune in and found out!

Hello Ohio Mysteries Backroads listeners. Did you ever look up in the sky and see something weird, something you can't explain? In this episode we have 3 stories about unexplained things in the night sky. Our first story explores the efforts of a group of St. Joe High School students from Cleveland, Ohio who figured out a way to listen to and track the Soviet satellite, Sputnik, even before our own military. They then created a device from a slide rule and a globe to assist in their efforts. Their efforts landed the boys on TV stations, newspapers, magazines then a visit by the FBI who promptly confiscated all their recorded tapes. Tune in and find out what happened next! Our next story we look at astronomer Jerry Ehman in 1977 using the Ohio State University Big Ear radio telescope. His volunteer job was to simply examine marks on an endless scroll of paper searching for anomalies, outlying marks indicating signals from out space. These signals may show something or someone trying to make contact us here on earth. On this particular day, in review of the data, the signal was so strong he made a notation "WOW" indicating the unusual signal that he had never seen before. This weird and strong signal was so strange, it caused arguments and discussion that continue to this day. Find out what happened and what people think the signal may or may not be. Our final story is about a mystery. A mystery that may or not exist at all. Its yjr infamous Hangar 18 at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Some people think that the aliens that were rumored to have been recovered from a UFO crash at the infamous Roswell, NM crash. Were these alien bodies taken there? Who's allowed there?

Hello Ohio Mysteries Backroads listeners. Ohio played an outsized role in shaping the leadership of the Union and Confederacy during the American Civil War—producing a remarkable number of generals who would go on to influence not only the outcome of the war, but the future of the nation itself. In this episode, we explore the lives and legacies of some of the Buckeye State's most prominent military leaders, including Ulysses S. Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, Philip Sheridan, and George McClelllan. From Grant's steady rise to overall command of Union forces, to Sherman's ruthless and transformative campaigns across the South, these men redefined modern warfare through strategy, innovation, and sheer determination. We'll uncover how Ohio's frontier spirit, political climate, and growing industrial power helped shape these commanders—and why so many Union generals traced their roots back to towns and cities across the state. Along the way, we'll dive into battlefield decisions, personal rivalries, and the lasting impact these leaders had long after the guns fell silent. Join us as we journey through war-torn America and discover how Ohio became a proving ground for some of the most influential military minds in U.S. history.

Hello Ohio Mysteries Backroads listeners. In the quiet railroad town of Bellefontaine, crates of bananas once arrived daily—ordinary cargo masking an extraordinary and sinister story. In this episode, we dive into the shadowy world of the so-called “Society of the Banana,” a chilling chapter tied to the rise of the Black Hand in small-town Ohio. What seemed like a simple fruit business became entangled with whispers of extortion, secret threats, and violence carried over from the Old World into America's heartland. Through the lens of a brutal early 20th-century crime, we explore how immigrant communities were targeted, how coded warnings and fear spread through tight-knit neighborhoods, and how something as innocent as a shipment of bananas could conceal a much darker reality. Join us as we peel back the layers of this forgotten mystery—where commerce, crime, and culture collided in Bellefontaine, and where the reach of the Black Hand may have been closer than anyone dared to admit.

Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mystery Backroads. Step right up folks… but don't get too close to Laffin Sal. In this chilling episode, we explore the wild history of one of America's most unsettling carnival icons—a life-sized laughing figure whose cackling once echoed across midways and funhouses. Known for her wide grin, towering presence, and relentless mechanical laughter, Laffin Sal was designed to entertain… but for many, she did the exact opposite. We'll trace Sal's origins at a paper cache company in Canton, Ohio on to early 20th-century amusement parks, uncover how she became a staple attraction, and dive into the strange stories that followed her—from frightened children to lingering rumors that her laughter carried something far more sinister than simple amusement. Why does she still unsettle people today? And how did a piece of vintage entertainment become a symbol of pure nightmare fuel? Join us as we pull back the curtain on carnival history, nostalgia, and the thin line between fun and fear—because once you hear Laffin Sal… you may never forget it.

Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mystery Backroads. In the shadows of the Midwest, far beyond the famous sightings in Point Pleasant, whispers persist that the legend never stayed contained. It crossed rivers, followed highways, and found new life in the quiet corners of the Buckeye State. In this episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads, we dive into chilling reports of the Mothman seen soaring over rural roads, lurking near abandoned structures, and terrifying witnesses across Ohio. From glowing red eyes piercing the darkness to massive wings cutting through the night sky, these encounters raise one unsettling question—did the Mothman ever really leave, or has it been here all along? We'll explore the eerie patterns that connect Ohio to one of America's most enduring cryptid legends. Is this creature a harbinger of disaster, a misidentified animal, or something far stranger? Turn down the lights, keep your eyes on the sky… and listen closely. Because in Ohio, the legend may still be watching.

Hello Ohio Mysteries Backroads listeners. In this episode we step into the shadowy underworld of early 20th-century Akron, where whispers of extortion, secret societies, and coded threats gripped immigrant communities in fear. In this gripping episode, we uncover the story of Rosario Borgio—a name tied to the chilling rise of the Black Hand in Northeast Ohio and spurned the rise of organized crime. Borgio was a ruthless killer and brutal enforcer who sought to wage war against law enforcement. His rise to power left a wave of death and violence in his wake. Borgio even offered a bounty on any policeman that was killed in the line of duty. This episode dives into the broader impact of Black Hand activity across Ohio, examining how fear spread through tight-knit immigrant neighborhoods and how law enforcement struggled to combat a secretive and deeply rooted network. Join us as we peel back the layers of crime, culture, and consequence in a story that feels ripped from the pages of a gangster novel—but is all too real.

In part 2 of this episode, we explore the long-debated mysteries surrounding Cleveland's most infamous mansion — Franklin Castle. Often called the most haunted house in Ohio, the towering stone castle on Franklin Boulevard has been surrounded by chilling legends for decades: secret passageways, mysterious deaths, and stories of restless spirits. But how much of the legend is actually true? Joining us is historian and author William G. Krejci, whose extensive research into the castle and the family who built it has helped separate fact from folklore. Krejci has spent years digging through historical records to uncover the real story behind the home built by German immigrant Hannes Tiedemann in the late 1800s. Together we discuss the origins of the castle's haunted reputation, the tragedies that struck the Tiedemann family, how rumors and media sensationalism shaped the modern legend, and what the historical record actually reveals about life inside the mansion. Is Franklin Castle truly one of America's most haunted houses—or is its dark reputation the product of a century of mythmaking? Join us as we uncover the history, mystery, and truth behind one of Cleveland's most fascinating landmarks.
