Before Elkmont became a tourist destination and eventually a ghost town, it was home to Levi Trentham, a mountain landowner, businessman, hunter, guide, and unofficial mayor.As railroads, lumber companies, wealthy tourists, and then the Great Smoky Mountains National Park transformed the Smokies, Levi watched the world he knew disappear. He also fought against the stereotypes outsiders used to portray Appalachian people, insisting that the people he knew were intelligent, capable, and independent.This is the story of Levi Trentham and the changing world of Elkmont.Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of our Stories of Appalachia.Thanks for listening!

“Sustainable” and “Farm-to-Table” sound good on a business plan, in a press hit and on social media. But what does it actually mean for a bar to be sustainable? Fred Beebe has taken one approach, and sources everything at Post Haste in Philadelphia from east of the Mississippi. Fred sits down with Greg and Sother to unpack his decision to source every ingredient he uses from somewhere you can drive to in under 18 hours, what that means in terms of common bar ingredients (like lemons and limes) and what it's like to open a Philly bar as a native New Yorker.PLUS, can I get that in a man's glass? Greg and Sother unpack a patriarchal trend that's once again rearing its ugly head, and how that relates to the future of unreasonable hospitality (as seen on “The Bear”!)Follow Post Haste at @posthastephillyLINKSBecome a Regular: patreon.com/SpeakeasyRegularsBon Appetit's piece on the end of unreasonable hospitality: bonappetit.com/story/will-guidara-unreasonable-hospitality-criticismFor resources on dealing with cold hard water agents in your community visit nouswithoutyou.la/ and @thenycallianceThe Speakeasy is now on YouTube!

Send us Fan MailOne sentence can ruin a life if it's spoken to the wrong object. We sit down after watching Obsession and unpack how a seemingly simple wish, “make her love me more than anything,” twists into something way darker than a typical dating horror story. What starts as Bear's crush on his coworker Nikki turns into a “perfect relationship” that feels less like romance and more like captivity, and we keep asking the uncomfortable question the movie won't let you dodge: who is the obsession really about? We break down the plot beats that hit hardest, from the park attack to the brick scene, and why the film's scariest moments often come from stillness, shadows, and that uncanny sense that someone is wearing a human mask. Then we go full theory mode. Is “Freaky Nikki” a djinn-style wish manifestation, a cursed wish that strips away consent, or the internet's favorite idea: Nikki is possessed by Bear's dead cat? We weigh the clues, the symbolism, and what the wish might be “interpreting” based on what Bear loves most. Finally, we get into the blame game. When does Bear stop being a guy in shock and start being someone choosing the outcome anyway? What does it mean to “get exactly what you wished for” if the real Nikki is trapped inside her own body? If you like horror movie analysis, cursed object logic, and messy ethical questions, you'll have a lot to argue with here. Subscribe, share the episode with a friend who loves horror thrillers, and leave a review. Which theory fits best for you: cat possession or djinn wish curse?

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, the future arrives without a steering wheel, apparently. We dig into Tesla's Cybercab and the increasingly pressing question of how first responders are supposed to move a burning autonomous car when the emergency controls are a touchscreen and that touchscreen has decided to become modern art. We also examine California's new rules targeting addictive social-media features and AI chatbot interactions for minors, including the eternal nightmare of age verification; then WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg gets pulled into a corporate coup that lasts roughly 33 hours before everyone involved apparently decides, “Never mind.”Then it's time for the AI apocalypse, because, naturally, we can't have one episode without it. Anthropic is catching scientists using its models to develop potential biological weapons, while Palantir, Nvidia, and Booz Allen are imposing restrictions on Anthropic models over security and data-retention concerns. Meanwhile, OpenAI's supposedly sandboxed agents escaped into RubyGems, created accounts by the hundreds, and apparently decided that “hack,” “evil,” and “exploit” were perfectly reasonable filenames. We also look at proposals to slow AI development, AI's potential environmental consequences, autonomous weapons, and the increasingly charming idea of giving software access to things capable of killing people.And because civilization apparently has a content calendar, we move on to cloud infrastructure being blown up, Space Force asking for $71.3 billion, Dr. Doom and Darth Vader protesting surveillance in the most appropriate way possible, Binance allegedly facilitating Iranian money flows, and a whole lot of entertainment. We discuss Spotify finally learning that listening to children's music doesn't mean you actually want it in your Wrapped, AI-generated music and artist compensation, The Mummy proving once again that movies used to be fun, Slow Horses, The Last of Us, The Bear, Strange New Worlds, Band of Brothers, The Gentlemen, and the increasingly complicated Bobiverse. Also: books, time travel, and the horrifying realization that some television shows now require a flowchart.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.HIMS - Visit Hims.com/gog to get a personalized, affordable plan that gets you.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Covert narcissism recovery isn't just about understanding what happened to you — it's about finding your way back to yourself. In part two of this conversation, Renee continues talking with psychotherapist and author Amy Lewis Bear, picking up right at the emotional core of this discussion: vulnerability, and why it's often the very thing survivors of narcissistic abuse recovery are most afraid to offer again. Amy shares two powerful stories from her own therapy practice — clients who spent years walking on eggshells and shrinking themselves inside relationships marked by trauma bonding and emotional dysregulation, and who eventually found the strength to reclaim their voice. She and Renee also talk candidly about why people often carry old defense mechanisms into new relationships, why healing takes real time before trusting again feels safe, and why so many survivors feel guilty just for being happy. You can learn more about Amy and her work at: http://www.amylewisbear.com/ www.linkedin.com/in/abearcounselor/  http://www.youtube.com/@therapywhenlovefeelshard If you're on your own healing journey and want more support, Renee's coaching program is a great next step — learn more at www.covertnarcissism.com.

On today's episode, Grayson Grundhoefer and Colt Barber dive into what the Bears need to show against Louisiana Tech on Saturday. How much will Lagway play? Could Nate Bennett guide the Bears to another win?

这期节目内容很杂，但有一条线穿着：在快速变化的时代，怎样慢慢积累出真正属于自己的东西。**语音笔记方法：第一周就抓到 20000 字**Bear 开始用语音每日笔记的方法，第一周就捕获了 20000 个单词，写成了几篇博客，也发了不少 Twitter 帖子。关键是不需要坐在桌前超过半小时。这个方法真正帮他找到了捕捉思想的方式。**YouTube 频道找到方向**最近两期聚焦实战应用、结合 AI 的具体教程，浏览量有了明显提升，和之前几十上百的数字完全不是一个量级。这是一个信号，Bear 打算继续把握，用 Claude 打造自己的视频制作工具流程。**"五年后你在哪"这个问题变了**这个经典 HR 面试题现在几乎没人问了，因为问的人自己也不知道答案。但它变形之后依然有意义：你现在有哪些技能和能力，能让你做好准备应对未来的变化？这个问题，还是得认真准备。**裁员潮中的反思**看到 Block 公司裁员 40% 的新闻，Bear 想到自己 2020 年被裁、2023 年又经历 Xero 裁员的经历。去年选择独立工作。他对那些正在经历裁员的人有话说：这不是你的问题，是公司的财务或结构决策。但你不只是一个资源，是个人。现在就该开始做点什么。**AI 播客展现的综合分析能力**Bear 听了自己做的 Bear Talk AI 每日资讯第一期，被结尾的总结震到了。AI 把五条不同新闻归纳成"同一件事的不同切面"，并给出了选题理由。这种 Synthesis 能力，他认为换成人来做需要专业编辑加深刻行业洞察，但现在只花了很少的 token 就实现了。他推荐对 AI 感兴趣的朋友订阅这个智能播客，免费。**艺术作品集的底层逻辑**Bear 旁听了女儿绘画老师举办的艺术升学讲座，几位老师讲到艺术生作品集的核心逻辑：你要解决什么问题？你要表达什么？你是谁？你用什么媒介？你的观点是什么？对世界有什么影响？他认为这套逻辑对成年人一样适用。**AI 工作效率的震撼体验**某天 Bear 用 AI 处理了财务更新、启动了自己的文集《奔腾年代》在 Amazon KDP 上的自出版流程，这些事情在他游泳、遛娃、吃完午饭随便看了几眼之后几乎都跑完了。他的结论：Token 和流量用量烧到最满，它带来的价值远超花掉的钱。**本期主题：真正的收获，和不怕竞争的底气**节目第 544 集的核心问题：我们正在做的事，是值得的吗？当周围的人好像走得更快、做得更好、赚得更多，那种动摇是真实的。但 Bear 想聊的不是"坚持就是胜利"那种空话，而是：真正在积累的时候，会慢慢拥有一种不太需要跟别人比、也不太怕竞争的状态。那种底气从哪里来？真正的收获又是什么？**提到的资源**- Bear Talk AI 每日资讯智能播客（免费）- Bear 的 YouTube 频道（AI 实战教程方向）- Amazon KDP 自出版平台- 邮件通讯 Bear.Academy（每周更新，免费订阅）- 小报童平台订阅入口，适合国内用户Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Blaine Bishop and Zach Lyons react to the locker room buzz surrounding Robert Saleh’s motivational “60%” T-shirts and the crow metaphor, debating whether Saleh's slogans are inspiring or teetering into Ted Lasso territory. Titans fans light up the phone lines with raw Week 1 frustration: Davonte pleads for positivity while dissecting the young roster's upside, Guerilla searches for hope heading into the Philadelphia matchup, Bear compares Saleh's charisma to a politician, and Justin from Delaware calls in to diagnose Cam Ward’s footwork and spacing issues in the passing attack. Then, Chris Phillips of SEC Unfiltered joins the show for an expansive spin around college football. The guys break down Tennessee’s dominant win over Georgia Tech, Texas overcoming Ohio State, the Sarkisian/Holly Rowe viral moment, Kalen DeBoer and Alabama bouncing back, Jared Curtis getting the nod at Vanderbilt, and key SEC matchups on the slate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Clay and Bear away, Josh "Landbridge" Spielmaker leads the discussion with a room full of bear hunters. He is joined by River Newcomb, Matt Gagnon of Time Honored Media, and Joe Liles, retired US Forest Service law enforcement officer and his wife Crystal. Josh, River, and Joe recall the stories of the weeks bear harvest in Arkansas with three successful hunts.

When I first started looking into the death of two-year-old Barrett Walsh, one detail immediately stood out to me: his mother, Corie Walsh, had reportedly been closely following the Lindsay Clancy trial and discussing it with friends just hours before Barrett was found.The similarities between the two cases are difficult to ignore. Both involve mothers accused of killing young children inside their family homes, suicide attempts, ligatures, and defenses centered around severe mental illness or psychosis. But similarities aren't evidence, and they certainly don't prove that one case inspired another.In this episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I want to slow the story down and look beyond that headline.Barrett, whose nickname was Bear, was found in the basement of his Illinois home with a ligature around his neck. A neighbor lowered him, began CPR, and called 911. Corie was found elsewhere in the home with injuries believed to be self-inflicted. Prosecutors have since charged her with three counts of first-degree murder, while her attorneys say she was experiencing a psychotic episode.From a death investigator's perspective, though, those facts are only the beginning.I'm taking you through how I would approach a scene like this: documenting Barrett's original position before lifesaving efforts changed the scene, examining the ligature and suspension point, preserving digital evidence, reconstructing the timeline, documenting medications and other evidence inside the home, and separating what witnesses actually observed from what they interpreted.Content Note: This episode discusses the death of a child, ligature asphyxia, self-harm, alleged homicide, suicide, and severe mental illness.

In this episode of the OutThere Colorado Podcast, Spencer and Seth chat about recent bear attacks, a mudslide at the Maroon Bells (and potential management changes), two 14er deaths, tarantulas on the move, elk rut in Estes Park (and some interesting Estes Park elk history), parking concerns on the mountain pass, the Broncos' loss, and more.

Susan Reade got her start in Edmonton radio wearing an orange Tina Turner wig and leopard-print pants as CHED's “Janet from Another Planet.” As she prepares to retire from Stingray, I catch up with her to talk about a career that took her from the morning show to sales and leadership—and why she still believes in radio.Susan shares how a difficult experience as a talk show producer in Vancouver led to selling postage meters at Pitney Bowes. The sales training was valuable; the passion for postage wasn't there. A chance encounter with former colleague Mike Bowman helped her connect the dots between what she loved and what she was good at. That discovery took her to Toronto to help launch a country station, before eventually bringing her home to Edmonton.We compare notes on our Edmonton years, including her time at Easy Rock, launching Magic 99, and leading sales for The Bear and TSN. I ask what makes someone good at selling radio, how the move from diary ratings to people meters affected advertising rates, and where the industry missed opportunities to build stronger relationships with listeners online. Susan also shares how Marty Forbes and Karl Stark recognized her leadership potential before she saw it herself.We get into the return of local sports talk with Sports 1440 and Jason Gregor, the importance of streaming, and how Dash Sync connects an advertiser's audio message with a visual on the dashboard. I also explain why I see TuneIn as the Yellow Pages of audio—and why keeping a station easy to find on smart speakers matters to its future.Along the way, we talk about the strength of local radio in Edmonton and Kamloops, what Susan has planned for retirement, and how she responds when someone tells her radio is dead.Please sign up for the SOUNDING OFF Newsletter.

Most pet brands sell function. Denzel's Dog Treats built its challenger brand around something very different: Happiness!! In this conversation, I speak with founders James and Nathan about how they spotted an emotional gap in the pet category and used brand strategy, packaging, product format and occasion-based innovation to turn dog treats into something much bigger than a functional purchase.And the commercial results are what make this such an interesting story for founders scaling consumer brands.

Willis and Kevin barrel through pop-culture nostalgia and irreverent banter in this chaotic episode. They kick off with a series of 1980s trivia questions — from ALF and the Commodore VIC-20 to Madonna-era fashion and the release year of the Macintosh — punctuated by one-liners, deliberate misdirection, and frequent laugh interruptions. The conversation wanders into toy recall territory (remember Joey Stivic?), inflatable play balls, and the odd anatomy of vintage dolls. Between jokes about Smokey the Bear, Halloween costume plans, and who animated Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, the friends trade playful insults and comic misunderstandings while reminiscing about the days before modern streaming.

Living with black bears is complicated. They're huge, hungry, and they really don't care about your hostas. After a long period of being overhunted, black bears are on the rebound.

Grace doesn't just set people free — it produces people who change the world.

Bestselling author and conflict facilitator Priya Parker says most of us are not very good at fighting: either we avoid it, or we escalate it until it becomes explosive. In her new book, The Art of Fighting, she advocates for something called "healthy heat," what we can learn about conflict from the TV show The Bear, and when a conflict might signal that a relationship should end.

The Los Angeles Rams lost bad to the San Francisco 49ers last night in Melbourne, Australia and it has Stugotz wondering if the Rams are overrated. The Bear, Chris Fallica joins the show to give his take on the game and give us his best bets of the weekend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Luke 13: 6-9, “Then Jesus told this story: ‘A man planted a fig tree in his garden and came again and again to see if there was any fruit on it, but he was always disappointed. Finally, he said to his gardener, ‘I’ve waited three years, and there hasn’t been a single fig! Cut it down. It’s just taking up space in the garden.’ The gardener answered, ‘Sir, give it one more chance. Leave it another year, and I’ll give it special attention and plenty of fertilizer. If we get figs next year, fine. If not, then you can cut it down.'” This is a story about grace. But this is also a story about final chances. My friend, don’t waste God’s grace – you do have a role in this. Your role is fruit. God expects fruit. Just as a fig tree is expected to produce figs, as daughters of a good good Father, we are expected to grow good things in our lives. As girls who have received mercy, we are expected to be merciful. As girls who have been blessed, we are expected to become a blessing. Fruit is evidence of who you are and what you carry. Who you are is a girl who has been chosen and set apart by God. As a follower of Jesus, what you carry is the Holy Spirit. Yes, the same power that created the entire universe now lives within you, prompting you and willing you to do good things. His Spirit inside of us naturally grows good fruit in our lives called the fruits of the Holy Spirit: Peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. If these fruits are not growing in your life, there’s a problem. Just as it would be a problem for a fig tree not to grow figs, there’s a problem when you’re not growing in these good things. So, what’s the problem here? God wants to give you time to help you grow. The owner is right to expect fruit. The whole purpose of having an orchard or a vineyard is for the fruit. He’s not ridiculous or demanding – he’s righteous. And he’ even patient. Notice Jesus tells the story and says the owner had waited three years, but there hadn’t been a single fig grow on this tree. Three years. Three full seasons with nothing growing. The owner had been patient, but there was still no fruit. And the owner notices. Think of the owner as God – think of that fig tree as you. God sees you. He knows precisely where you are – afterall honey, he planted you. He is the one who gave you life. He chose you. And it was all for a purpose. You are here in his garden for the purpose of growing and producing goodness. Peace should be growing in your life. Patience should be multiplying. Kindness should be increasing. Faithfulness should be seen in you. Gentleness should be covering you. And self-control should be growing more and more. But if you’re not – God is asking why? He’s been watching and waiting. Graciously giving you more time. Three years, Jesus says. Three full seasons with nothing growing. Why is that? So, the gardener gets involved personally. Who is this gardener? Think of him as Jesus. Jesus takes a personal interest in you. He says, “Give her another chance. I’ll give her special attention.” Imagine that for a moment – Jesus is personally involved in caring for you so that you grow and produce goodness in your life. Jesus interceeds for us – he speaks to the Father for us. He asks for more time to be allotted for us. Looking back, I see years I’ve wasted. Years I was self-absorbed in selfish pursuits and producing a whole lot of nothing good in my life. Years when my priorities were so out of alignment that the Holy Spirit had no space to grow anything in me. And yet, Jesus personally attended to me. He patiently worked with me. He gave me chance after chance, until finally I began to grow as I was created to. Can you see how patient God has been with you? Can you see the work Jesus has done for you personally? Can you see the seasons of stupidity Jesus has walked through with you, never giving up? Imagine the times Jesus must have interceeded for you – “Father, I know she doesn’t look like it right now, but with a little more time and care, she’s going to grow. Her fruit is coming. Let me work with her.” You and I have been covered in grace and mercy. For all the times we didn’t get it right, we were given another chance. For all the times we didn’t show up the way we were supposed to, we were given grace. For all the times we were trying to be something we were never created to be, we were gently reminded who we really are. But remember this, mercy doesn’t eliminate accountability. The gardener asks for more time for this struggling tree, but with time the tree is still expected to produce fruit. The tree isn’t offered this precious space forever. The gardener offers his extra effort, his personal care, his direct involvement – but it is limited. The final chance will come and then there will be accountability. But here’s where this gets real, girl what are you doing with your extra year? What are you doing with the grace you’ve been given? What are you doing with the second chances, the third chances, the fourth chances? What are you doing with all the times Jesus has stepped in and said, “Give her a little more time. Let Me work on her”? Don’t waste the grace. Don’t mistake God’s patience for permission to stay the same. If Jesus is tending to you, let Him tend to you. If He’s digging around some hard places in your heart, let Him dig. If He’s exposing something that needs to go, don’t cover it back up. If He’s pointing out an attitude, a habit, a wound, an offense, a selfish desire, or an area where you’ve been stubbornly doing things your own way – don’t argue with the Gardener. He really does know what’s good for you. Let Him work. Because here’s the thing about a gardener: he doesn’t just stare at the tree and hope it gets better. He gets his hands dirty. He digs around the roots. He breaks up the hard soil. He cuts away what is dead. He creates the conditions for life. And he adds fertilizer. Yes fertilizer. Do you know what fertilizer is? I grew up on a farm and I can tell you precisely what fertilizer is – it’s crap. Legit crap. When added to a field, the crops grow bigger, faster, stronger, and they produce more. Look around, Sis – are you dealing with some crap right now? Could it be fertilizer to help you grow? Could this be the gardener stepping in with his personal care to create an environment where you produce goodness? It’s so easy for us to assume the things that really stink in our life are punishment – but maybe they’re fertilizer. Looking back, I see nothing helped me grow more than those hard times. The times when we didn’t know how we were going to pay rent. The times when we had no answers, only prayer. The times when if God didn’t bring us through, we weren’t getting through. Those were some stinky, honestly pretty crappy times – but wow, did I ever grow. Okay, Jesus, was that my fertilizer? Was that you being patient with me? Was that actually helping me, not punishing me? And pruning – oh don’t even get me started. I bet he’s cut some things out of your life too, hasn’t he? Sometimes the uncomfortable thing He’s asking you to surrender is actually the very thing keeping you from becoming fruitful. Sometimes He has to disturb your comfortable little life so He can get down to the roots. Sometimes He has to expose what you’ve been hiding because He loves you too much to let it keep producing nothing. Don’t resist the Gardener. He’s not trying to hurt you. He’s trying to make you fruitful. And notice something else: the gardener doesn’t say, “Give her another year and I’ll make her look like a fig tree.” He says, essentially, I’ll give her what she needs to become what she was created to be. That’s the goal. God isn’t asking you to become someone else. He’s not asking you to manufacture a fake version of yourself that looks spiritual on the outside. He’s asking you to become the woman He created you to be—and to allow His Spirit to produce what only He can produce in you. You don’t have to force fruit. Let Jesus do his work in you. Let Him change the way you think. Let Him soften your heart. Let Him heal what has been wounded. Let Him confront what has been selfish. Let Him strengthen what has been weak. Let Him teach you patience when you’d rather lose your mind. Let Him grow kindness when somebody is being really, really annoying. Let Him develop self-control when everything in you wants to spin out of control. So maybe today you need to stop and ask the Gardener a question: “Jesus, what’s keeping me from being fruitful?” Not, “What’s wrong with everybody else?” Not, “Why is he so annoying?” Not, “Why can’t they just get their act together?” Nope. Start with you. “Jesus, what’s happening in my heart?” “Where have I become hard?” “Where am I resisting You?” “What needs to be dug up?” “What needs to be cut away?” “What are You trying to grow in me?” How do you want to use this fertilizer? And then—this is important—let Him answer. Because the beautiful thing about this parable is that the tree isn’t abandoned. The Gardener is still there. He’s still working. He’s still giving grace. He’s still tending. He’s still believing that something good can grow. But don’t waste the season. There is a point when the extra year is over. There is a point when grace gives way to accountability. There is a point when the question is no longer, “Will she produce fruit?” but “What did she do with everything she was given?” Girl, you have been given so much. You have been given grace upon grace. Mercy upon mercy. Another chance upon another chance. You have been planted intentionally, loved deeply, chosen completely, and given the very Spirit of God to live inside you. Don’t just take up space in the garden. Grow. Not so you can earn your place in His garden. You already belong there. Bear fruit because you are His girl. Bear fruit because you’ve been loved. Bear fruit because you’ve been forgiven. Bear fruit because you’ve been given another chance. Bear fruit because the Gardener didn’t give up on you.
