Two privileged young men, driven by arrogance and a twisted sense of superiority, plotted the 'perfect crime.' But the brutal murder of Bobby Franks left behind a trail of evidence and ghost that refuses to rest.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Leopold and Loeb believed themselves to be more intelligent than everyone and planned to commit the perfect murder. But it would be their pride that brought them down in the end, and it would result in a ghost story! (Chicago's Thrill Killers) *** A woman visiting her mother in the hospital takes an unexpected trip when stepping into the elevator. (Elevator Opens Into The Twilight Zone) *** Even 24 doors couldn't give Charles Lapham a way out of his seemingly-cursed life. (No Exit – The Lapham Patterson House) *** A nightmare is frightening, we can all agree on that. But what if you have a nightmare within a nightmare? One woman tells her terrifying story. (My Real Life Nightmare) *** Robert Berdella. Behind his friendly demeanor lurked a deadly obsession with torture and murder. (The Butcher of Kansas City) *** It was a tale that most considered simply gossip, or the town's urban legend. The rich and powerful made sure it stayed a secret; but all secrets eventually come to light – especially those covered in racism, tragedy, and hundreds of deaths. It's the truth behind the Hawk's Nest Tunnel tragedy. (Town Of The Living Dead) *** A teenager shares his story of being abducted by aliens. You may dismiss it as a nightmare or sleep paralysis, but then how do you explain the injection marks on his body? (Tall Black Shiny Aliens) *** A Weirdo family member tells us why we should be cautious when we hear dogs howling. (When The Dogs Howl) *** Most stories about the men in black are of an aggressive nature, with victims being questioned by them, even threatened into remaining silent. But one man had a strange encounter where the MIB saved his life. (Helped By Four Men In Black) *** It's always a bit scary sleeping in a new house that very first night. But sometimes, as one Weird Darkness fan discovered, there is reason to be frightened. (Whispers In The Night) *** They found the first body stuffed inside the church library's closet. Then a second body turned up. I'll share the creepy case of Theo Durrant – San Francisco's “Jack the Ripper”. (Demon of the Belfry) *** Outside of Washington, D.C. lies an abandoned institution with a thoroughly disturbing past.

Karen Frost held hands with a stranger named Frank at a U2 concert in Chicago—a man she sensed didn't have much time left. They didn't exchange contact information, but she knew what they shared was a soul connection forged through music. Years later, when she faced a cancer diagnosis and began guided imagery to prepare for radiation, something unexpected happened. It's a story about the fleeting connections that never really leave, the mysterious ways people return to us when we need them most, and how someone you barely knew can become exactly what saves you.

Everyone's talking about AI these days, including Chicagoans. And now, more data centers are popping up across the country, thanks in part to the AI revolution. But some cities are stemming the tide, including Madison, Wisconsin, who recently passed a one-year moratorium on new data center construction. City Cast CEO David Plotz feels strongly that this was the wrong choice! He's sitting down with City Cast Madison podcast host Bianca Martin to weigh the pros and cons of data centers, and debate the economic, ethical, and ecological considerations at the heart of this debate. Plus, David and Bianca share must-know tips for making it in Madison and DC.  We also mentioned this City Cast Madison episode. Is there something your city is doing that we should be talking about?

Why is it that we train people to survive under pressure… but never teach them how to come home to themselves?After 20 years serving as a Navy Hospital Corpsman alongside Marines in some of the most demanding environments imaginable, Patrick Nardulli realized something profound: toughness wasn't the same as resilience.In this episode, Patrick shares his journey from combat medicine to nervous system regulation — including the moment a heart rate variability monitor revealed he was “thriving” on the outside but dysregulated beneath the surface.We explore:The difference between heart rate and heart rate variabilityWhy high performers often live in chronic sympathetic overdriveHow breath becomes the bridge between mind and bodyThe role of coherence in leadership and relationshipsPractical tools to regulate your nervous system in real timeShow Partners:Get your MENTAL FITNESS BLUEPRINT here!

Air Week: February 23-March 1, 2026 The Moonglows, Pt. 1 – 1953-55 Much has been written about the great R&B vocal groups of the 1950s. Many of the classic groups were either great musicians and vocalists and never had the recognition or record sales to back it up or these groups were thrown together, they couldn’t sing very well and scored one, solid hit that still spins in the eternal jukebox of public consciousness. The Moonglows were one of the few groups to come out of the post World War II, pre-Elvis era, who were extremely talented and had the sales figures and notoriety to back it up. Originally called The Crazy Sounds, Harvey Fuqua and Bobby Lester led The Moonglows to a #1 R&B smash in 1954 with “Sincerely” on Chess, but that was after a somewhat bumpy start on Alan Freed’s Champagne Records and Chicago’s Chance Records. This week, Matt The Cat presents part 1 of a 2 part feature on the fantastic Moonglows, covering their career from 1953 to 1955. Vocal harmony doesn’t get much sweeter than this, so don’t miss one note of this week’s “Juke In The Back” radio program. LISTEN BELOW

Welcome to the weekly sermon podcast from Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago. We're glad you're joining us. We're continuing our series, Rise and Fall of a King. In 2 Samuel 7:1–17, we come to a defining moment in the life of David—and in the story of redemption. David wants to build a house for God. But instead, God reveals a better plan, makes a greater promise, and points to a greater King. In a world where every leader eventually fails, and every kingdom fades, this passage reminds us that God's purposes cannot be shaken—and His promised King will never fall. Open your Bible with us to 2 Samuel 7 and let's see how God's better plan leads us to a better King.

Jordan Love can't buy respect from the national media, and tonight's callers are fired up about it.

This week we welcome comedian Kerryn Feehan and dive headfirst into Black History Month chaos, white women discourse, Valentine's Day disasters, and the continuing MLK Jr saga of “My King.”From Derek being accused of secretly being a white woman, to the invention of White Women Month, to deeply unserious arguments about John Hamm, Bad Bunny, and “Black facts,” this episode is packed with wild takes and nonstop laughs.Apologies are issued (and immediately regretted), including Derek nearly smoking on a train, Dave admitting he doesn't do dishes because he thinks his wife likes to do them, and Kerryn yelling at a man with his foot on the stage. Then things take a romantic turn as the crew breaks down their Valentine's Day plans - including a very public Red Lobster date in Times Square.The episode wraps with “My King: Part 3”, including a recap of Parts 1 and 2 and the reveal of what actually inspired the script.If you thought you understood My King… think again.LIKE, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLAUp-4rTF4q4XLujbJ51YQ TOUR DATES https://www.linktr.ee/nnfaMERCH https://nnfa.creator-spring.com/ BONUS CONTENT https://www.patreon.com/c/ImDaveTemple?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink -----------------Follow host Derek GainesIG https://www.instagram.com/thegreatboy/ Follow host Dave TempleIG https://www.instagram.com/imdavetemple/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@DAT46Follow Kerryn FeehanIG https://www.instagram.com/kerrynfeehan/ Follow No Need for ApologiesIG https://www.instagram.com/nnfapodcast/ TT https://www.tiktok.com/@noneedforapologies FB https://www.facebook.com/noneedforapologies/Produced by Teona SashaIG https://www.instagram.com/teonasasha/TT https://www.tiktok.com/@teonasasha -----------------To advertise your product on our podcasts please email jimmy@gasdigitalmarketing.com with a brief description about your product and any shows you may be interested in advertising on.SEND US MAIL:GaS Digital StudiosAttn: NNFA151 1st Ave # 311New York, NY 10003"No Need for Apologies" - NEW Episodes every Saturday at 3PM/ET on YouTube-----------------⏱️ Timed Highlights00:00 – Intro00:40 – Welcome to the show02:33 – Welcome Kerryn Feehan03:35 – Why Derek a white woman07:25 – Announcing White Women Month13:40 – Derek's apology: Sparking on the Train16:21 – Dave's apology: Do the Dishes!20:49 – Kerryn's apology: Yelling at a Guy23:15 – Valentine's Day recap35:30 – My King Part 1&2 recap37:02 – My King: Part 350:58 – Dave reveals the inspiration behind My King52:18 – OutroSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Bears are inching closer to leaving Illinois, and the Packers have a culture problem that no single player can fix. Ryan breaks down the stunning collapse of the Bears-Illinois stadium negotiations after Chicago canceled a meeting with Governor Pritzker, while Indiana rolls out the red carpet with a fast-tracked Hammond stadium bill. Then he digs into a Romeo Doubs interview that reveals something uncomfortable: even the players don't fully understand what went wrong last season. The Bears stadium saga takes a dramatic turn as Indiana passes a 24-0 vote for Hammond while Illinois gets ghosted by their own franchise Romeo Doubs admits he still doesn't know what happened during the late-season collapse, pointing to game planning and energy as key failures Ryan makes the case that signing Micah Parsons inadvertently drained the team's collective belief and created a fragile, star-dependent identity A detailed blueprint for how LaFleur and the coaching staff must rebuild culture around standards, distributed ownership, and genuine belief rather than bumper sticker slogans If you think the Packers' problems are about talent, think again.

Daniel Jeremiah dropped real Detroit Lions intel on a two-hour NFL pre-combine conference call with roughly 150 media members. Three Lions-centric questions made the queue. The answers steered straight to offensive tackle and contingency planning. This Detroit Lions Podcast zeroes in on what matters for pick 17 and March. OT at 17: Monroe Freeling and Blake Miller Asked about offensive tackles at No. 17, Jeremiah immediately named Monroe Freeling of Georgia and Blake Miller of Clemson as fits he believes the Detroit Lions could consider. It is early in the process, and these are his opinions, but those were the first two prospects he tied to Detroit's draft slot. Both are squarely in the conversation before the NFL combine. Why Freeling resonates: learning curve and toughness Jeremiah outlined why Freeling stands out. Quick learner. Still improving. Limited experience but trending up. He added an off-field note with on-field value: Freeling's mother is a yoga instructor, which he views as a positive for injury prevention. He also relayed a durability moment. Freeling was expected to miss a game with a high ankle sprain. He said he felt healthy enough to go, entered on an emergency basis, then played the entire game and played well. That combination of growth, recovery habits, and resilience landed with the room. Free-agent tackle buzz and the contingency map Unprompted, Jeremiah said the Lions are sniffing around the free agent offensive tackle class. He did not elaborate. On the podcast, we walked through the practical outcomes of that note. It can be veteran insurance if a rookie tackle is the pick at 17. It can cover the possibility that Giovanni Manu is not ready to be the next man up. It can protect the depth spot that Dan Skipper filled. The class lacks sizzle, but there are playable options. Jermaine Illuminore has had decent starting stretches with the Lions and Raiders. He is not Taylor Decker, but he can start if needed. Braxton Jones is coming off a rough season. Jack Conklin brings a long injury history in Cleveland. Former Michigan State Spartan. Chicago area roots. Tough profile, but questions remain. Many in this market are primarily right tackles. This draft also gives Detroit room to stack swings. Beyond Freeling and Miller, there are many tackles in range throughout the weekend. Names mentioned as possibilities included Spencer Branch Manu, Caleb Holmes, Caleb Tiernan, and Dimitris Brown of Texas A and M as a Day 3 type the Lions could like. Doubling up is not out of the question if the board cooperates. For the Detroit Lions, the path at tackle runs through No. 17 and the veteran aisle. The next two weeks before the NFL combine will sharpen it. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nfl #monroefreeling #blakemiller #freeagentoffensivetackles #taylordecker #giovannimanu #danieljeremiah #highanklesprain #jermaineilluminore #braxtonjones #jacksonconklin Learn more about your ad choices.

At the tail end of Black History Month, we'll hear a new report by Matthew Wilson from the University of Illinois Chicago's Great Cities Institute. He says there's a large number of young people in greater Chicago area who are not in school or work. A hefty chunk of these folks are classified as black males. We'll also review the case of former Morgan County jailer Jarvis Moore. This privileged black male is accused of stealing honey buns from inmates. Mr. Moore says he's diabetic - which is not hard to believe for people classified as black in the western hemisphere. He's facing 7 felony charges - for seven honey buns. We also heard from our own 'Tumblin' Dice,' who was accused of looting traffic cones from an adjacent construction site. This same privileged black male was accused of stealing the school's weed-whacker previously. #YoungBlackAndUnemployed #NIGA05 #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Marketing Strategy & Brand Storytelling from Outside the Wine Industry One thing that sets the DTC Wine Symposium apart from most wine conferences is how many speakers come from outside the wine industry. Our friend Barbara Gorder taps into her Chicago ad-world network and brings in people who've spent their careers on the front lines of marketing, brand building, and cultural storytelling. The result is a perspective small wineries rarely get access to. Basically, we got a day at Leo Burnett University courtesy of Dean Barbara Gorder. As you might expect, the stories are as good as the insights. Lane Soelberg was on the early digital frontier at Leo Burnett and has been building narratives ever since. His work has shown up on your TV, inbox, computer, and phone for brands like GM, Pillsbury, and the Olympics. Today, based in Southern California, he helps shape global storytelling and innovation at the XPRIZE Foundation. Louie Monoyudis built his career at the intersection of fashion, brand, and entrepreneurship, from Leo Burnett to Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and John Varvatos. No doubt about it, if DTC handed out a Best Dressed award, Louie wins in a landslide. Today, through Groove Jet Luxury Travel, he applies that same eye for detail and design to crafting deeply personal, highly curated experiences around the world. He has plenty to say about wine and luxury positioning. Mike Siska comes out of the creative agency world, where he helped shape culturally resonant brands and was one of the creators behind the iconic “Mayhem Like Me” campaign. His work lives where strategy meets humanity, exploring how ideas spread, how attention is earned, and how stories shape the way people connect. Three conversations from outside the wine world, all circling the same reality. Wine does not compete with other wines. It competes with everything. If we want people to care, we have to tell better stories, tell them in better places, and pay much closer attention to who is actually listening. Grab a notebook. Open a bottle. Class is in session.
