The enclave known as Butcher Town flourished around Cannon's millpond until 1850, when the expansion of Charleston's city limits propelled the slaughtering business northward. The migration of butchers' pens across the Neck then triggered a decades-long battle between private enterprise and public efforts to regulate the industry. Following a suite of political and technological developments in the early twentieth century, a modern municipal abattoir ultimately scrubbed the ancient blood-soaked industry from the local landscape.
Send us a textA cold morning, a fortified town, and a scaffold placed just out of earshot—Charleston, Virginia tried to choreograph John Brown's end and, with it, the story the country would remember. What they could not contain was a single handwritten note that slipped past the rope and into the bloodstream of a nation already splitting at the seams.We walk the final hours with four witnesses whose perspectives refract the moment: Thomas J. Jackson, the meticulous VMI professor whose faith and discipline frame the state's show of force; Edmund Ruffin, the fire-eater who turns pikes into propaganda and sees opportunity in the gallows; David Hunter Strother, the conflicted journalist caught between honesty and editorial fear; and a young John Wilkes Booth, reading the scene as theater and quietly rehearsing a darker role. Alongside them, Brown tends his will, thanks his jailer, hands coins to his men, and chooses silence over spectacle—saving his last words for paper, not the crowd.The procession becomes public theater, the pause on the trapdoor stretches time, and the drop turns a man into a symbol. From controlled access to censored sketches, from church bells in the North to militia drills in the South, we trace how a state-managed execution became a catalyst. Keywords that matter here—John Brown, Harper's Ferry, Bleeding Kansas, Stonewall Jackson, Edmund Ruffin, John Wilkes Booth, abolition, secession, Fort Sumter—aren't just tags; they're threads that stitch a straight line from a quiet cell to a continent at war.Listen for the details that history often blurs: the bronze guns on the field, the black box that is also a coffin, the exact phrasing of a prophecy that predicted blood. Stay for the larger question that lingers long after the body is cut down: can power manage meaning when memory prefers to travel light and fast?

Most of us think we're struggling with follow-up because we aren't consistent enough, or the leads just aren't good enough. But in reality, the problem goes much deeper than missed calls and forgotten reminders. The real issue is that most agents fundamentally misunderstand how long it actually takes to convert a lead, and what those follow-up conversations are supposed to feel like. We expect one call to turn into an appointment and one appointment to turn into a deal. When that doesn't happen, we assume the lead isn't interested, or worse, that we're “bothering them.” What makes follow-up fall apart isn't laziness, it's uncertainty. We jump off that first call, and when it's time to reconnect, we genuinely have no idea what to say next. So we default to the fastest escape hatch: a cold text, a generic check-in, a “just touching base” message that signals the wrong thing, you're following up for yourself, not to bring value to the lead. How do we shift our mindset around follow-up? How do we take the pressure and hesitation out of lead follow-up? In this episode, we break down the patterns behind bad follow-up, the mindset shift that makes good follow-up easy, and the small adjustments that help you stay connected to your entire pipeline. Things You'll Learn In This Episode Follow-up takes more touches than most agents assume Most clients need several conversations before anything moves forward. How do we plan for a longer decision cycle instead of expecting quick wins? Why “just checking in” messages fall flat Generic follow-up doesn't create meaningful engagement. How do we make sure our touchpoints actually reflect where the client is in their process? How to pick up the conversation where it last ended A good follow-up feels like continuity, not a reset. What becomes easier when we reconnect around the client's timeline, concerns, or next step? The role of warm and older leads in your pipeline Hot leads aren't the only ones who convert. What opportunities show up when every stage of our database has a consistent follow-up rhythm?

One True Podcast would never let 2025 end without one more episode celebrating the centenary of In Our Time, so today we discuss a classic short story from that collection: “The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife.”Scholar (and podcaster) Scott Yarbrough visits us from Charleston to lead us through the many elements of this great story: Dr. Adams's quarrel with Dick Boulton, the doctor's icy relationship with his wife, and finally his moment of connection with his son. Along the way, we touch on the ethics of log stealing, the implications of Christian Scientism, Hemingway's captivating early prose style, Nick's role in the narrative, and whether or not this story qualifies as one of Hemingway's “greatest hits.”Join us for a trip into the Michigan woods and a guided tour through “The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife.” We know where there's black squirrels!

Recorded on the floor of the EMS|MC EMSpire Conference in Charleston, South Carolina, this episode of EMS One-Stop finds host Rob Lawrence in conversation with long-time collaborator and EMS advocate Matt Zavadsky. Fresh off the longest federal government shutdown in history, Rob and Matt unpack what the hyper-turbulence in Washington really means for EMS: suspended Medicare extenders, disrupted grant programs, agencies taking out loans just to meet payroll and training programs put on hold. They break down NAEMT's flash poll on the shutdown's impact, the promise of the Treatment in Place (TIP) legislation, and why associations “hunting as a pack” on Capitol Hill matters more than ever. Along the way, they spotlight EMSIntel.org as a national barometer of EMS funding, staffing and response time crises, and issue a clear call to action for providers, billers and leaders to use association tools to contact their members of Congress. | MORE: Government reopens: What EMS providers need to know right now In the second half, Rob is joined by Dr. Shannon Gollnick, paramedic, EMS leader and organizational psychologist, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping EMS — right now. Shannon makes the case that AI is “not the future; it is the present,” and that agency leaders must urgently build literacy, policies and guardrails around its use. They dig into the difference between HIPAA-compliant, embedded AI in ePCR systems, and risky open tools like ChatGPT, touching on hallucinations, embedded code and emerging Medicare fraud-detection programs. | MORE: Artificial to augmented intelligence. How Dr. Shannon Gollnick wants EMS to work smarter, not harder Rob and Shannon talk about AI as a powerful but potentially dangerous tool — “like having a tiger” — and outline practical steps for chiefs: Ask: “Do we have an AI policy?” Define what AI can and cannot be used for Insist that every AI-generated work product is double-checked by a human before it hits the record Memorable quotes “We weren't here to actually scare you off it. We're here to let you know that it's here, but it's like having a tiger, right? We all love to have a tiger, but it has to be contained in some sort of guard, otherwise it's going to run rife and cause havoc, and we don't want that.” — Rob Lawrence “This is part of the hyper-turbulence that's occurring in EMS right now.” — Matt Zavadsky “So I think the message for the profession right now is, now is not the time to put your foot on the brake. It's time to put your foot on the gas.” — Matt Zavadsky “We put the fun into function.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “I think it's important to understand that AI is not the future. It is the present. We are currently here right now. And it's nothing to be afraid of.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “If you're not doing it, I promise you that your staff is doing it and they're playing around with AI.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “Guardrails don't exist from a congressional standpoint. They don't exist from a regulatory standpoint. The technology is moving far too fast. So we as agency leaders have to take the lead in putting up some of those guardrails.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “There are ePCR software out there that are using proprietary AI that will use AI-generated narratives. And that absolutely is 100% good to go. What we don't want to see is our crews putting in their ChatGPT to have ChatGPT write their narrative.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick “ChatGPT has embedded code inside of it that you can't see, but that code is there ... so what we're kind of afraid to do is to say, hey, what happens 6 months from now, 8 months from now when Medicare does an audit, they run your ePCRs and find all of this embedded code from ChatGPT ... you open yourself up for a lot of compliance issues.” — Dr. Shannon Gollnick Additional resources: EMS Intel EMS News Tracker American Ambulance Association Advocacy NAEMT Advocacy EMS shutdown survival: What leaders need to know now Charting the future: How AI is rewriting the EMS narrative Episode timeline: 00:21 – Rob introduces guest Matt Zavadsky 02:02 – Rob recaps the 40-plus-day federal government shutdown, questions about reopening, and his upcoming return to Capitol Hill for renewed advocacy 02:02 – Matt frames the shutdown as part of the “hyper turbulence” in EMS; explains the regulatory suspensions, pauses in Medicare extenders and grants, and how cash-flow uncertainty forced some agencies to take out loans just to make payroll 03:04 – Matt details NAEMT's flash poll (408 agency responses) showing suspended training and grant-funded programs, and warns of a possible repeat shutdown around January 30 03:54 – Rob and Matt discuss the reopening of government, ongoing bipartisan work, and the risk that everything “comes to a grinding halt” again if Congress can't agree 04:51 – Matt explains why NAEMT released the shutdown-impact poll even as government reopened and stresses the need to keep pushing for permanent relief from Medicare extenders and advancement of key bills like Treatment in Place (TIP) 06:03 – Matt outlines the House and Senate TIP companion bills and why Medicare paying for treatment in place is better for patients, EMS, the health system and the Medicare trust fund 06:54 – Rob notes broad association/provider support and professional lobbyists on the Hill; Matt stresses that field providers, administrators and billers must still use association legislative portals to send letters to Congress 08:08 – Matt describes a surge in communities reevaluating their EMS delivery models because of staffing, finance and subsidy challenges — “a great time to be an EMS consultant” 09:09 – Rob introduces EMSIntel.org as a curated clearinghouse of EMS news, used to show communities they aren't alone; describes failed tax measures and funding referenda 10:15 – Matt cites EMS Intel data: ~85% of stories each month involve funding, staffing or response times; Rob and Matt stress the ubiquity of these themes from big cities to small towns 11:09 – Rob highlights mutual aid tensions and taxpayers questioning why they “pay to send our resources somewhere else;” both emphasize that hyper-turbulence and funding gaps are national issues 13:23 – Rob resets the scene from the EMSpire conference and recaps Matt's Hill update before introducing Dr. Shannon Gollnick 14:41 – Shannon gives his backstory: in EMS since 1996, paramedic since 2002, progression into EMS leadership, doctorate in organizational psychology and focus on how organizations function 15:14 – “We put the fun into function.” 15:24 – Rob invites Shannon to talk AI, calling it “the specter we are embracing everywhere,” and references HIPAA concerns; Shannon opens with the core message: AI is not the future, it's the present, and nothing to be afraid of 16:03 – Shannon urges leaders to build AI literacy, noting that if agencies aren't using it, their staff and the younger generation already are 16:28 – Shannon emphasizes policy and procedure: AI guardrails aren't coming from Congress or regulators, so agency leaders must define how AI will be used and where its limits are 16:55 – Rob reminds listeners that AI in EMS isn't new, citing early monitor rhythm interpretation in the UK; Shannon underscores that crews already use AI tools and that unmanaged cut-and-paste practices can create billing and compliance risks 17:24 – Shannon explains the dangers of using open tools like ChatGPT for ePCR narratives: potential PHI exposure in a “black box” system and AI hallucinations generating plausible but false patient information 18:21 – Shannon describes how AI “wants to answer your question and make you happy,” leading to made-up details, and shares examples from testing minimal-input scenarios that returned overly detailed, inaccurate narratives. 19:03 – Shannon calls ChatGPT “kind of a snitch,” explaining embedded code markers that fraud detection tools — and increasingly Medicare's AI-based “Wiser” program — can use to identify AI-written content in documentation 19:59 – Shannon warns about retrospective audits and compliance exposure if ChatGPT-coded narratives are found in ePCRs, noting that AI rules are still emerging and tech is outrunning regulation 20:51 – Rob summarizes the mixed message: AI is here and being built into devices and software, but there are real dangers. They discuss data going “to the cloud” — which Shannon defines as “somebody else's computer.” 21:24 – Shannon frames AI as a powerful tool that can “put a lot of holes in the wall” if misused; he references fraudulent AI uses and deepfakes as emerging issues 22:05 – Shannon compares AI's impact to the internet's paradigm shift; Rob gives a “spoiler alert” about his own workflow using transcripts and ChatGPT agents, and notes the importance of reading and checking any AI-generated output 22:45 – Shannon reinforces that AI makes mistakes and cannot understand human context; he uses his “How you doing?” Joey Tribbiani vs. Tony Soprano example to illustrate contextual nuance 23:06 – Rob expands the context point with the “Friends”/“Sopranos” slide and reminds listeners that once AI-written words are published, “you said it.” Shannon highlights the WebMD effect and AI-driven self-diagnosis risks. 24:02 – They note that ChatGPT can generate long, complex diagnoses without sufficient patient context, leading to errant or misleading outcomes if misused clinically 25:00 – Rob summarizes: AI is here and, used correctly, is a good thing; advises chiefs to ask their teams, “Do we have an AI policy?” 25:27 – Shannon outlines what an AI policy should contain: acknowledgment that AI is here; clear, non-fearful framing; specificity on what decisions AI can support; and clarity on which tools (e.g., embedded EPCR AI) are allowed versus prohibited uses of ChatGPT 26:17 – Shannon stresses AI should not be used for clinical decision-making or clinical narrative writing; its role should be administrative only, and all outputs must be double-checked Enjoying the show?

12-2-25 Tonight we're talking with Matt and Lauren Bloom, owners and meadmakers at Bløm Mead and Cider in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. Bløm Meadworks (pronounced “bloom”), makes modern ciders and session meads – they're light, dry, carbonated, and remarkably sessionable. For their meads, they start with the same ingredients as a traditional mead - honey, water and yeast - which means they can source all of our ingredients from Michigan. They ferment it like a dry craft cider, so the result isn't nearly as thick or sweet as traditional mead. So, if the word “mead” automatically conjures a drinking hall filled with Vikings for you, think of theirs as its friendly, approachable descendants, without the pillage and plunder. After years in the nonprofit sector, Lauren realized that what had become her hobby and outside-of-work stress reliever was actually the thing that she cared about most – food. And more specifically, local food production. Soon after, she joined the board of Slow Food Chicago, an organization that advocates for the value and pleasure of good food for all. A few years later, Lauren and Matt moved to Ann Arbor, looking to put down roots in their home state and open Bløm - a business that would allow them to create sessionable brews and highlight some of the mouth-watering ingredients grown in Michigan. Matt started his professional life as a financial geek. Turned out it was far more exciting to apply those geeky skills to brewing chemistry than options software. He kicked off this new career as a home brewer in Chicago and was lucky enough to have two friends who were passionate enough to start a brewery with him. While owner and head brewer for Begyle Brewing, Matt sadly learned that he was among the unfortunate crew that can't process gluten - his love affair with beer had come to an abrupt end. Hooked on the creative fermentation process, and always intrigued by the quirky possibilities for mead and cider, Matt found Bløm to be the perfect love child of what he enjoys making and drinking. Join us to see what Lauren and Matt are doing with their meads and ciders!

Chef Paul Smith joins Dave Weekley for a post-Thanksgiving edition of Hotline, answering a surge of listener questions on food safety, holiday prep, and Christmas dinner strategy. Paul explains the safest way to thaw a turkey in brine, whether brining meaningfully increases sodium, and why he saves compound butter for the finished slice of prime rib rather than the roast itself. The conversation shifts to Christmas cooking as Paul outlines the four knives every home cook should own, how much to spend on a good chef's knife, block vs. bag storage, carbon steel vs. stainless, and why dull knives are the most dangerous tool in your kitchen. A practical, engaging, and highly educational segment for home cooks heading into the holidays.

Peter B. Cotton: When Fred the Snake and Friends Learn the Chinese Zodiac and the Great Race! This is episode 802 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Dr. Peter B. Cotton is the author and creator of an award-winning children's book series, Fred the Snake, which now consists of 10 books. He grew up in England, where the first tale was conceived long ago as a bedtime story for his then young children about how (not) to cross the road. When they had their kids, they asked what happened to “Fred-Fred”. Peter teamed up with a special illustrator (Canadian Bonnie Lemaire) and published the first book, When Fred the Snake got Squished and Mended. Before becoming a great grandfather and celebrated children's book author, he saved lives as a leading gastroenterologist. His illustrious, international, five-decade career in medicine included treating royalty and celebrity patients, teaching, writing nearly 1,000 published medical papers, penning 10 medical books, and lecturing in over 50 nations and across the United States. He has written the definitive textbook, now in its eighth edition, Cotton and Williams' Practical Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: The Fundamentals. He also recently published his memoir, The Tunnel at the End of the Light. Schooled by Quakers, he used to tag along with his dad, a doctor, on farmhouse calls. He received his pilot license and gliding certificate in his youth. He played junior tennis at Wimbledon and got to caddie for his son who twice competed at the British Golf Open. Dr. Cotton, 85, and his wife, Marion, are blessed with four children, eight grandchildren and four great grand kids. They reside near Charleston, SC, on Dewees Island, an eco-sensitive community of 72 homes, without any cars or shops. Our focus today is Peter's latest book … When Fred the Snake and Friends Learn the Chinese Zodiac and the Great Race! Awesome stories! Incredible conversation! Thanks for listening!

In this very special episode, host Peter Bauman (Le Random's editor in chief) speaks with artist Beeple (Mike Winkelmann) about a busy year of institutional shows, studio experiments, and what it means for digital art to edge closer to the canon.The artist traces how works like Human One, Diffuse Control, and Transient Bloom at institutions like LACMA, The Shed, Mori Art Museum and Toledo Museum of Art have shifted his sense of digital art's inevitability. They also discuss why he thinks IRL encounters with screens, robots and installations are “higher fidelity” than years of online discourse. They then cover how his Charleston studio has become a public lab by hosting CryptoPunks nights, video game tournaments, and a Synthetic Theater event.The second part of the conversation mostly covers REGULAR ANIMALS, Beeple's robotic, AI-mediated dog pack for Art Basel's new Zero 10 digital section. They look at the work as a prototype for long-form generative systems that sense and interpret the world in real time, plus much more!Chapters

För Dev Hynes, som gör musik under namnet Blood Orange, innebar terrordådet i Charleston, då nio människor sköts till döds i en kyrka, ännu en brytpunkt i skapandet. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Albumet ”Negro swan” från 2018 är en personlig och melodiös uppgörelse med det amerikanska samhället och dess återuppväckta demoner. Blood Orange drar det mesta genom drömsk, småfunkig och dröjande nostalgi som ibland framkallar en hallucinatorisk bild av framtidens R&B. Här kan han lösgöra sig från tiden och sin egen kropp. ”Do you see my skin through the flames”. Dev Hynes är helt enkelt en av världens coolaste artister.

A peaceful camping trip near the Oklahoma–Arkansas border turns terrifying when a couple experiences one of the most intense Bigfoot encounters ever shared on the show. In this episode, Amy recounts the night at Webber Creek when rocks began flying, branches snapped high above them, and something massive stalked them from both sides of the trail. As the forest went completely silent and a heavy, musky odor filled the air, the couple realized they were not alone—and whatever was out there did not want them staying overnight.Amy also shares multiple firsthand Bigfoot accounts from Oklahoma and Arkansas, including sightings in Sequoyah County, LeFlore County, Marble City, Charleston, and Moffett. From white Sasquatch sightings to roadside crossings and aggressive nighttime behavior, this episode dives deep into the region's long history of Bigfoot activity.If you're drawn to Bigfoot sightings, Sasquatch encounters, cryptid hotspots, or chilling wilderness experiences, this episode is packed with details you won't forget.

Visit Patreon for exclusive Tape Study write up on this epsiode. https://patreon.com/marieshadowsWelome to the Squared Circle Podcast with your host Marie Shadows and co-host Dos Evil as we talk about MLW!In this episode, you and Dos Evil dive into MLWxDongato, breaking down the show from top to bottom with honesty, humor, and actual wrestling insight.We discuss MLW's big move to Charleston and how the energy of the crowd elevated the show despite obvious production flaws. The Scarlett vs. Isla Dawn opener gets praise for presence and charm, though you both agree they deserved way more time.The Good Brothers tag match sparks a rant about commentary inaccuracies — especially Karl Anderson's sobriety — and some of the awkward booking choices that made the finish feel unnecessary. Diego Hill's lightning match and the Akamora interference angle leads into fantasy booking that makes far more sense than what MLW delivered.Cross vs. Riddle becomes the segment of the night for both of you: strong character work, callbacks, and undeniable chemistry. This is the feud MLW should anchor their upper card around.Then comes the big one: the bunkhouse match. You both unload on the poor layout, missing “bunkhouse” elements, confusing babyface/heel alignment, and the complete lack of time needed for a match with legacy names. This becomes the most passionate part of the episode.We wrap by talking potential — MLW is clearly trying, but trying too much at once. With better planning, production alignment, and breathing room, they could turn these chaotic shows into something genuinely great.

Keith Benjamin, co-founder of Uptown Hospitality Group in Charleston, tells the story of how throwing massive Penn State tailgates set him on a 20-year path from NYC bartender to operator of six concepts—while raising three kids under five. After buying small equity stakes in New York bars and becoming an operating partner at 29, he felt pulled to Charleston and went all-in on a $5M buildout of Uptown Social, a 10,000 sq. ft. sports bar and nightlife hub inside a 1915 building. He recalls surviving COVID—shutting down 48 hours after his wedding—then creating Bodega, a New York-style breakfast sandwich brand that grew from a parking-lot pop-up to multiple locations. Uptown Hospitality later added Share House, the upscale tavern By the Way (with partners from Southern Charm), and The Waverly, a wedding venue. Through rapid growth, thin margins, seasonality, and crushing liquor liability laws, Keith stays centered on preparation, service, and his belief that restaurants and bars are the emotional backbone of a community—and that operators carry that responsibility on their shoulders. 10 Takeaways Hospitality people “run into the fire.” You're either wired for the chaos and unpredictability of restaurant ownership or it will spit you out. Preparation beats the playbook. Every shift changes at minute one; the only constant is how ready your team is for the unexpected. Tailgates were the training ground. Running $40K-per-season Penn State tailgates taught Keith energy management, leadership, and crowd control. From golden handcuffs to ownership. High-earning NYC bartending could have trapped him, but he insisted on a path to management and equity. Charleston was the “chips all in” leap. With no collateral, Keith borrowed from friends and family to take on a 25-year lease and rebuild a 1915 building. COVID nearly crushed the dream—but sparked Bodega. Forced shutdowns led to launching a breakfast-sandwich concept that quickly exploded in popularity. Growth exposed growing pains. Opening multiple concepts while having three young kids humbled him and revealed how thin the margins can be. Food-heavy concepts are a different math. Booze-driven venues thrive; a full-service breakfast-and-lunch model did not, leading to a fast pivot to QSR. Liquor liability laws threaten the industry. South Carolina's rules once assigned 100% blame to anyone who served one drink to someone later in a wreck, pushing insurance premiums into the stratosphere. Service and community are the lasting moats. With heavy competition and rising closures, the only real differentiator is how you make people feel—because restaurants are the heart of every community.

We're thrilled to welcome chef, author, TV host, and proud PBS champion Vivian Howard back to Radio Cherry Bombe. Vivian has long been one of the most thoughtful, curious voices in food, so it's no surprise that her latest PBS series is called “Kitchen Curious.” Vivian joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the show and, of course, Thanksgiving, from turkey to sides to the pecan pie recipe on the bottle of Karo Corn Syrup. They also chat about her restaurants, including Chef & the Farmer in Kinston, North Carolina; her Charleston spot Lenoir; and Theodosia on the Outer Banks (yes, named for that Theodosia, Hamilton fans!).Thank you to JW Marriott for supporting our show.

I sat down in Charleston with the fabulous Juju Taylor (aka @juliannetaylorstyle) to talk about living unapologetically, finding your authentic style, charging what you're worth, and building a female entrepreneur think tank that lifts everyone higher. If you've been playing small, this is your nudge to take up space—sequins, saucer, and all. What you'll hear: Authenticity, style as a mindset, and why "matching sets" can change your brain How to find your people (and keep your think tank small + mighty) Pricing, boundaries, and the exact script for "no budget" pitches Morning rhythms, slow living, and signaling self-worth daily Legacy over hustle: saying yes to soft life, big purpose, and more good juju Timestamps 00:01 — Juju's mission: helping women live authentically (style as permission) 06:20 — From "I give up clothes" to Good Juju: the identity shift through fashion 11:35 — Build your think tank: where to find women who cheer (and why size matters) 17:50 — Pricing confidence: the agency call + the boundary script you can borrow 23:48 — Morning rhythms, quiet thinking time, and signaling "I'm worth it" 29:40 — Saucer, candles, and using the "good stuff" every day to rewire self-worth 34:45 — Legacy > hustle: soft life, travel, and creating from joy

The Descent has led us to Charleston, and to a haunted historic theatre where we finally uncover a clue—one that may bring us closer to the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe.
