When Tina Bowen and her sister, Karen, began hearing knocking in the walls of their home in Pepperell, Massachusetts, the girls believed it was their recently deceased mother trying to reach out to them from beyond the grave. In time, however, the knocking became more intrusive and aggressive, and it was soon accompanied by objects being moved around the house and frightening messages left on the walls. After months of torment, the Bowens discovered that it wasn't a ghost haunting their home, but sixteen-year-old Daniel LaPlante, a boy Tina had briefly dated and who'd become obsessed with her. Daniel LaPlante was arrested and charged with various crimes, for which he was convicted and served a sentence in a juvenile detention center. Unfortunately, the court's decision to try LaPlante as an adult meant that he was granted bail and after just one year in detention, he was bailed out and allowed to live with his mother pending trial. It turned out that brief period of freedom was all the time LaPlante needed to find a new object of his obsession and by the time the police learned of his violent intentions, it was already too late.

Send us Fan MailInside Communications: Rhode Island Primary Closing Messages and Election PredictionsBill Bartholomew and Half Street Group's Mike Raia break down how campaigns shift from persuasion to turnout in the final stretch before Rhode Island's primary elections. They also look at which candidates are handling their closing messages well, how early voting changes campaign strategy, and where the major races appear to be headed.Key topicsIn this episode, Bill Bartholomew and Mike Raia discuss why the Rhode Island election season finally feels fully underway, with more yard signs, more voter curiosity, and more attention to early voting.Mike explains what a closing message is in campaign communications, describing it as the final turn from persuasion to mobilization in the last two to three weeks before voting ends.They discuss how campaigns should peak at the right moment, since cresting too early can leave a candidate vulnerable to losing attention before Election Day.Mike says the most successful closing messages usually shift away from attacking opponents and toward biography, vision, authenticity, and turnout.They examine Governor Dan McKee's messaging and argue that his campaign has spent too much time defining Helena Foulkes instead of telling his own story.The conversation highlights early voting as a major strategic factor, especially in light of the 2022 governor's race and how late-breaking debate timing affected Helena Foulkes' momentum.Mike says Mayor Brett Smiley has one of the strongest closing strategies in Rhode Island right now, crediting him for clearly defining his base and contrasting his leadership style with David Morales.They also discuss the lieutenant governor's race, where Mike sees Saya as having an effective closing message built around showing Rhode Islanders themselves in the campaign's imagery and tone.In the attorney general's race, Mike says the key battle appears to be between Kim Ahern and Keith Hoffman, with Ahern possibly benefiting from Helena Foulkes's broader support network.The episode closes with a broader reflection on generational turnover in Rhode Island politics, with Bill and Mike arguing that millennial and Gen X leaders are increasingly ready to take the reins.Timestamps00:00 - Election season finally feels real in Rhode Island01:08 - Early voting, yard signs, and the race for voter attention04:02 - What a closing message actually is05:18 - Why campaigns stop persuading and start mobilizing06:29 - Why attacking the opponent can weaken a final push08:28 - Final two weeks are about turnout, not conversion09:05 - How media, field, and mail work together late in the race10:35 - Why timing the closing message matters more than ever12:36 - Building a campaign cadence backward from the decision date13:54 - Brett Smiley's closing message in the Providence mayor's race15:25 - Saya's visual and generational strategy in the lieutenant governor race17:17 - Mike's governor's race prediction: Helena Foulkes by a wide margin19:37 - Mike's Providence mayor prediction: Smiley over Morales22:19 - Why the lieutenant governor race is so hard to call23:37 - The attorney general race and the Kim Ahern versus Keith Hoffman split27:06 - Rhode Island's leadership transition to younger generations29:36 - Why millennials see themselves as ready for leadership now31:35 - Final thoughts heading into election day Support the showFollow Bill on Instagram and YouTube

“We have deluded ourselves into thinking that we are as gods, and we are not.” — John West Back in 2006, at the height of Web 2.0 optimism, Time made YOU person of the year. The user-generated technology of the internet, Time implied, would make all of us into digital gods of memory and forgetting. Twenty years later, the script has been totally flipped. Now we know that the internet is all-too-human. And so are we. This reminder of our mortality is the heart (if that's the right word) of the new book by John West, the double Pulitzer Prize-winning Wall Street Journal computational journalist. West's The Internet Will Die, and So Will You is a kind of digital memento mori. His argument is metaphysical rather than political. Offline, he writes, our lives are marked by constraint. But we mistake the internet's destruction of physical distance for limitlessness. “We have deluded ourselves into thinking that we are as gods,” he reminds us, “and we are not.” A Christian and a digital deconvert (not an uncommon combination in the technocrati), West wants us to import our mortality online. If we recognize that the internet will decay and finally die, he suggests, we will make it human. (Re)Make it, as us. I've been making a version of this argument since The Cult of the Amateur in 2007. Only West's version — by contrasting Bach, Ecclesiastes, and Mary Oliver with the infinite scroll — is more poetic and musical. Politer too. Noli timere, as the poet Seamus Heaney texted before he died. Be not afraid. Of life, of death. But beware of YOU. Be afraid. Timere. Very afraid. Five Takeaways •       We Are Not Gods. The book's thesis: offline life is marked by constraint — you cannot talk to people farther than you can shout, or hug your child while she's at school — while online we act at a distance and mistake that “foot-loosening technology” for limitlessness. “We have deluded ourselves into thinking that we are as gods, and we are not” — the AI singularity being the theological version of the same delusion, and “a recipe for disaster, both interpersonally, but also within ourselves.” The fix is not logging off but bringing our mortality online: “this is where we live,” and the Internet's magic only stays magical when tempered by limits — “in order for it to be magical, we need the flip side, which is that it can't always be magic.” Andrew's frame: in 2006, Time made YOU person of the year, promising digital gods of memory and forgetting. Twenty years on, the internet is all-too-human — and so are we.•       The Deconvert's Meditation. “No one is more strident than the convert or the deconvert.” West's digital utopianism began in a middle-school computer lab, where an unhappy kid discovered he could find friends and communities online — and it died by monkey's paw: the same mechanism that found him anime fans now routes lonely kids into pro-anorexia TikTok rabbit holes (his own Journal colleagues' reporting) and neo-Nazi forums. “That supercharging is something that I wished for.” He concedes the lineage Andrew has worked since The Cult of the Amateur (2007) and The Internet Is Not the Answer (2015) — and goes further: “I actually think largely, Plato and Postman were right.” Culture must metabolize its technological ruptures. Or, per the Freudian slip Andrew gifted back to him for the next book: its raptures. Andrew's verdict on the lineage: the same argument, more poetic and musical. Politer too.•       A Few Thousand Weeks. On the Luddite summer, West channels past guest Brian Merchant: hatred of technology is usually hatred of lost control. The backlash against AI data centers is about being “completely removed from democratic control over that technology,” and the marketing — a magic box that will take your job — has backfired predictably. His arithmetic of dignity: we get only a few thousand weeks on this earth, and “our dignity demands that we have some say over what we do with our lives.” He cites Freddie deBoer's Copernican principle — everyone believes they live at history's hinge — then breaks it honestly: “but I also think this time, it might be right,” the elder millennial awestruck at the rupture he came of age inside.•       Religious, Not Spiritual. West inverts the modern chestnut: “everyone says they're spiritual and not religious these days. I actually think it's important to be religious, and spiritual can take it or leave it” — religion being “a powerful technology” for binding people into the civic fabric. His Christianity runs to liberation theology: not storing up treasure for the glorious day, but making this world more just now. Hence Bach cantatas, Ecclesiastes, and Mary Oliver as the book's unnamed philosophies — and hence his verdict on the billionaires who struggle with finitude: it doesn't shock him that men who earn millions while sleeping believe themselves gods, since “every dollar is like a little Iago whispering poison into the ears of the Silicon Valley elite.” The advantage belongs to us mere normals, unburdened by the whispering.•       Noli Timere. The Latin on West's X page — be not afraid — was Seamus Heaney's last text message, sent by SMS before the surgery he didn't survive, then carried by the Internet to thousands who found hope in it. That, West argues, is the network at its best: “it is about how you spend your time on the Internet, not what you can do on the Internet.” On memory, his formula is to remember “not more and not less, but rather differently” — choosing what we remember (the Odyssey's oral re-membering, retold body to body) rather than having it forced on us (the red solo cup photos, the traumas that refuse processing). The great mismatch of the web: “the things that we think should be permanent are often the things that are the most impermanent online, and the things that I really wish would fade away are the ones that refuse to.” Andrew's send-off inverts Heaney: be not afraid — of life, of death. But beware of YOU, the ultimate human conceit. Timere. Very afraid. About the Guest John West is a writer and technologist. He reports the news with code at The Wall Street Journal, where his work has won multiple awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes. The Boston Globe called his first book, Lessons and Carols: A Meditation on Recovery, “lyrical and crystalline.” He holds an MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars and degrees in philosophy and music performance from Oberlin College, and lives outside Kingston, New York, with his partner, children, and unruly cat.

John Searles joins Book Gang to dish on his new novel Single Girls, inspired by Helen Gurley Brown and the women who transformed Cosmopolitan magazine. We welcome John Searles to Book Gang for a heartfelt conversation about his historical fiction novel, Single Girls—a story inspired by Helen Gurley Brown and the trailblazing women behind Cosmopolitan. Drawing on his years as an editor at Cosmo and his deep admiration for Helen, he brings readers behind the scenes of the magazine's revolutionary 1960s makeover. Together, we explore the mix of nostalgia, ambition, and feminist history that animates this witty, unconventional story of women's work and self-discovery. Single Girls follows Helen Gurley Brown as she assembles a team of unforgettable women to take on a skeptical publishing world, reshaping Cosmo and, in the process, the lives of millions of single women. Through playful structure, shifting points of view, and the signature Cosmo quizzes and glossaries, John immerses readers in the vibrant, sometimes chaotic world of magazine publishing and female empowerment.

Send us Fan MailRhode Island's primary sprint, the Providence mayor's race, and the shakeup in statewide politicsWith early voting underway, Bill Bartholomew and Jim Hummel (The Hummel Report, Ocean State Media, WPRO) break down a Rhode Island primary that feels unusually compressed, low-energy, and wide open in several marquee races. They focus on the governor's race, the Providence mayoral primary, and how turnout, apathy, and candidate organization could decide everything.We discuss why the governor's race appears to be Helena Foulkes versus Dan McKee, why Providence mayor could be the most consequential contest on the ballot, and how the attorney general and lieutenant governor primaries are shaped by heavy uncertainty and weak candidate separation. The conversation also zooms out to the collapse of Rhode Island Republican infrastructure and the question of whether independent Ken Block can change the dynamics.Key topicsThe primary feels like a sprint after a long buildup, with very little time to energize voters before election day.Hummel argues that apathy is the dominant force in this cycle, especially because many races feel either predetermined or hard to differentiate.In the governor's race, Dan McKee is framed as carrying a long list of political liabilities, including the Washington Bridge, CVS/opioids, and general voter fatigue.Helena Foulkes is seen as holding a consistent polling advantage, with multiple polls showing her ahead by a meaningful margin.The Providence mayor's race between incumbent Brett Smiley and challenger David Morales is described as the most interesting contest, with Morales bringing national attention and youthful energy.Smiley's strength is his political infrastructure, especially his turnout operation and support from Eddie Catucci, who is described as a master of mail ballots and ground game.The lieutenant governor and attorney general primaries are portrayed as crowded and muddy, with lots of undecided voters and very little ideological separation.The discussion notes that gun policy and constitutional concerns may be pushing some Democratic voters away from more aggressive positions in the AG race.National anti-incumbent sentiment is seen as helping challengers broadly, but not necessarily translating cleanly to every local race.Rhode Island Republicans are described as deeply weakened, lacking a coherent bench, a strong message, or an effective opposition strategy.Aaron Guckian and the Republican gubernatorial field are viewed as weakly positioned, while the congressional races are portrayed as even more chaotic.Ken Block is treated as the most plausible wild card in the governor's race, especially if he can consolidate support or benefit from a one-on-one dynamic.Timestamps(00:00) Opening the primary sprint and why this cycle feels flat (01:43) Why turnout and election-day energy matter more than usual (03:23) Providence mayor becomes the race to watch (05:36) McKee's polling problem and the uphill climb in the governor's race (06:23) What could help McKee and what still works against him (07:31) Smiley's turnout machine versus Morales' grassroots energy (08:42) Why the lieutenant governor and AG races are so unsettled (09:46) Little separation in the AG field and the gun policy divide (11:23) Does national anti-incumbent anger spill into Rhode Island? (13:14) What Providence schools and city management mean for Smiley (14:15) The collapse of the Rhode Island Republican ecosystem (15:55) Why the GOP congressional slate looks so weak (17:14) How Trump hollowed out the state party (19:41) Could Ken Block become the real governor's race alternative? (21:55) Block's media strategy and money challenge (22:25) Election day timing, early voting, and closing thoughtsSupport the showFollow Bill on Instagram and YouTube

The conversation also zooms out to the collapse of Rhode Island Republican infrastructure and the question of whether independent Ken Block can change the dynamics.Key topicsThe primary feels like a sprint after a long buildup, with very little time to energize voters before election day.Hummel argues that apathy is the dominant force in this cycle, especially because many races feel either predetermined or hard to differentiate.In the governor's race, Dan McKee is framed as carrying a long list of political liabilities, including the Washington Bridge, CVS/opioids, and general voter fatigue.Helena Foulkes is seen as holding a consistent polling advantage, with multiple polls showing her ahead by a meaningful margin.The Providence mayor's race between incumbent Brett Smiley and challenger David Morales is described as the most interesting contest, with Morales bringing national attention and youthful energy.Smiley's strength is his political infrastructure, especially his turnout operation and support from Eddie Catucci, who is described as a master of mail ballots and ground game.The lieutenant governor and attorney general primaries are portrayed as crowded and muddy, with lots of undecided voters and very little ideological separation.The discussion notes that gun policy and constitutional concerns may be pushing some Democratic voters away from more aggressive positions in the AG race.National anti-incumbent sentiment is seen as helping challengers broadly, but not necessarily translating cleanly to every local race.Rhode Island Republicans are described as deeply weakened, lacking a coherent bench, a strong message, or an effective opposition strategy.Aaron Guckian and the Republican gubernatorial field are viewed as weakly positioned, while the congressional races are portrayed as even more chaotic.Ken Block is treated as the most plausible wild card in the governor's race, especially if he can consolidate support or benefit from a one-on-one dynamic.Timestamps(00:00) Opening the primary sprint and why this cycle feels flat (01:43) Why turnout and election-day energy matter more than usual (03:23) Providence mayor becomes the race to watch (05:36) McKee's polling problem and the uphill climb in the governor's race (06:23) What could help McKee and what still works against him (07:31) Smiley's turnout machine versus Morales' grassroots energy (08:42) Why the lieutenant governor and AG races are so unsettled (09:46) Little separation in the AG field and the gun policy divide (11:23) Does national anti-incumbent anger spill into Rhode Island? (13:14) What Providence schools and city management mean for Smiley (14:15) The collapse of the Rhode Island Republican ecosystem (15:55) Why the GOP congressional slate looks so weak (17:14) How Trump hollowed out the state party (19:41) Could Ken Block become the real governor's race alternative? (21:55) Block's media strategy and money challenge (22:25) Election day timing, early voting, and closing thoughtsSupport the showFollow Bill on Instagram and YouTube

The Boston Globe has endorsed Rep. Seth Moulton over longtime Sen. Ed Markey in the Democratic Senate primary, arguing that Moulton offers the leadership and generational change Massachusetts needs. Back in 2020, the Globe endorsed Markey in his primary against Joe Kennedy III, and Markey went on to win the nomination and reelection. Will the Globe’s endorsement make a difference this time?

What does justice mean when a mentally ill person takes a life? Before Lindsay Clancy killed her three children in Duxbury, there was another case. In 2018, a mother in Brockton, Latarsha Sanders, killed her two young sons while in the midst of a psychotic episode. But the tragedy didn't end with their deaths. A dubious interrogation and a jury trial portraying Sanders as “evil” resulted in a first degree murder verdict. Boston Globe columnist Yvonne Abraham revisits the trial with an overflowing reporter's notebook. She shares her findings with Say More's Shirley Leung.

“As psychedelics move into the mainstream media driving clinical research, venture investment, and therapeutic treatment, they are often framed as a scientific breakthrough. But much of the cultural framework behind this movement can be traced back to figures like Terrence McKenna, whose ideas were shaped not by controlled research but by highly personal, perception-altering experiences.In A Short Strange Trip, John revisits the 1971 “Experiment at La Chorrera” and places it in a broader historical and psychological context. He examines how narrative, belief, and altered states of consciousness intersect, and how those early interpretations still echo in today's conversations around mental health, spirituality, and medicine. The result is a grounded, investigative perspective on a movement often discussed in purely optimistic terms.John's work has appeared in The New York Times, GQ, Men's Journal, Financial Times Magazine, Oxford American, and The Boston Globe. His Previous book, The Secret History of Bigfoot, was named best book of 2024 by NPR and the Chicago Tribune and was covered by outlets including The Washington Post and NPR. He holds an MFA from Columbia University and teaches Journalism at Boston College. Born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan (the original home of Gibson guitars), he lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts with his wife and children.TAG ALONG ON A TRIP THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING...MARCH 4, 1971: Deep in the Columbian rain forrest, a motley crew of “psychonauts” prepared for what they believed would be the ultimate experiment. Convinced that a mixture of powerful hallucinogenic plants held the key to unlocking human consciousness, they soon found themselves entering hyperspace.The return journey was...complicated.PRESENT DAY: Acclaimed journalist John O'Connor is fascinated by this forgotten expedition. What really happened in those jungle depths? Armed with decades-old field notes, new interviews, and a healthy dose of curiosity, O'Connor ventures into the same Amazon territory, retracing the psychonauts' steps through the remote Putumayo in search of a legendary hallucinogen called Ukue' and the truth about an “experiment” that's been quietly gathering dust.Working alongside Indigenous Uitoto people who bore witness to it all, O'Connor explores how humanity's relationship with psychedelics has shaped everything from ancient religion to modern medicine. But as he journeys deeper into both the rainforrest and the cosmic dimensions these substances reveal, one question keeps nagging at him:Were the psychonauts on to something truly profound—or just profoundly stoned?Some stories are worth the trip.You can find John at his website:https://www.johnmoconnor.com/Instagram: https://www.johnmoconnor.com/

Patrick Clancy lost three children on January 24, 2023. Now TikTok creators are accusing him of killing them. They're comparing him to Chris Watts. They're posting theories that Lindsay didn't jump from the window — he pushed her. They're dissecting his remarriage and his testimony for signs of guilt.Lindsay Clancy's own defense team has told the jury she killed the children. The defense isn't arguing innocence — it's arguing she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. The conspiracy theories on social media contradict the position of both the prosecution and the defense.The scrutiny has intensified during the trial. Newsweek published an analysis of the "TikTok jury" phenomenon forming around this case. The Boston Globe ran an opinion piece calling the social media coverage an indictment of public discourse. Creators are examining Patrick's remarriage to Dr. Rachel Danis, comparing his new wife to Lindsay, and framing the speed of his remarriage as suspicious.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down whether Patrick Clancy has legal options against creators who are accusing him of murder online. The difference between a protected opinion and an actionable defamation claim. Whether Patrick qualifies as a public or private figure. What the Alex Jones and Sandy Hook precedent established. And the practical reality of pursuing lawsuits against creators who are anonymous, scattered across multiple states, and unlikely to have assets worth collecting.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We explore a common paradox in this episode (and I'll be up front that this is one I've struggled with for most of my career) – and that is, being a likeable badass. How can we be both liked as a person and respected for our success? How do we get the recognition, negotiate for our value, and create opportunities without our peers or colleagues seeing us as cold, calculating or selfish? How do we create and leverage power and status as women, if we feel icky about the words power and status? I don't have the answers, friend, but I know someone who does. Alison Fragale is the author of Likeable Badass and the Mary Farley Ames Lee Distinguished Scholar of Organizational Behavior at the Kenan-Flagler Business School. Her work has been published in the most prestigious academic journals in her field, and is featured in prominent media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Financial Times, Boston Globe, and many more. A sought-after keynote speaker and trusted advisor, Alison was introduced to me by Adam Grant, and is here today to help us understand more about power, status, and likeability – and how those things impact our ability to get more of what we want. A loving reminder that whether or not you're a working professional, we're ALL negotiating for the things we want, for what matters most to us. And whether you're at work or in your personal relationships, your status matters. It's time for us to set aside those limiting mindsets because they aren't serving us or our people. You can be and become a likable badass. Thank you to our sponsors! Don't wait to teach your kids real-world money skills!
