We continue our conversation with Antonia Unaqsiq Commack a Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples advocate in Alaska. Antonia is Inupiaq from the Native Village of Shungnak and is a survivor herself of domestic abuse. Antonia is challenging the open letter to the community that the Kotzebue Chief of Police wrote addressing the suspicious deaths of Jennifer Kirk and Sue Sue Norton in Kotzebue, Alaska. The Chief's letter tries to assure the public that the investigation into these cases has been thorough, but Antonia points out all the holes in that story. Laura fills us in on the background of the horrific domestic violence these women suffered at the hands of their intimate partners before their deaths. The Kotzebue police have closed Jennifer's case, refusing to investigate it as a homicide.The lead investigator for Sue Sue Norton's case is Alaska MMIP investigator Lonnie Pisciya at907-764-3864Chief Roger Rouse office number is 907-442-3351Please go to the Lawless website to find out more: https://www.propublica.org/series/lawlessYou can listen to Invisible: Life and Death on the Reservation https://amzn.to/3UZTKvhYou can read the letter that the Kotzebue Chief Of Police released to the community here, scroll to the end of the City page:https://www.cityofkotzebue.comThen please also go and watch Antonia's incredible videos on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@alaska.mmip You can also join: Missing and Murdered in Alaska Facebook Pagehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1013590965769563/If you or someone you care about needs help please go over Laura's DASH checklist and take it to law enforcement.DASH www.dashriskchecklist.com You can get Laura's book here "Policing Domestic Violence" https://www.dashriskchecklist.com/resources/books#realcrimeprofile #TrueCrime #podcast #ExpertAnalysis #FBI #NewScotlandYard #CriminalBehavior #BehaviorAnalysis #rapist #coercivecontrol #stalker #survivor Follow us and continue the conversationOn Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/realcrimeprofile/?hl=enOn Twitterhttps://twitter.com/realcrimeprofilOn Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/realcrimeprofile/>>>>>>>>> SUPPORT OUR OTHER SHOWS

Who is killing the indigenous women of Alaska? Spoiler alert, it is not that hard to figure out if proper investigations had been done, yet time and time again, these victims' deaths are ignored, suspects are not questioned, evidence is not collected, autopsy reports are glossed over, known repeat offenders are not prosecuted, and on the rare occasions when they are prosecuted, judges are letting them go with less than a slap on the wrist. Joining us to discuss two such cases is victims' advocate Antonia Unaqsiq Commack of Missing and Murdered In Alaska, a group that often focuses on violence against Native Alaskans. Antonia is Inupiaq from the Native Village of Shungnak. Antonia herself has had two close friends murdered by their intimate partners and since 2017 has devoted herself to shouting loudly to make the public aware of the injustices going on in her community. Antonia takes us through the deaths of two women in Kotzebue, Alaska - Jennifer Kirk and Sue Sue Norton -- who died under extremely suspicious circumstances and who need to get much more attention from those in power to deliver justice. Their stories are just the tip of the iceberg.

So here he is. A quick note on the audio quality; it's not as good as I'd prefer because of some feedback noise.

As you'll be able to  clearly tell, I'm a huge fan of James and his channel. I bet that if you look him up on Youtube, you'll agree.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit ensouled.substack.comvol. 2 Episode 34Greetings,I figure the mainstream media industry should be viewed with the same casual indifference that so many within it, especially those at the top, view us. But we don't have to discount it entirely. To that end, in this episode, Elisabeth and I change up the format. Rather than bust through a list of headlines and then offer a forecast of what to expect in the week ahead, we take on three separate news items and parse them according to the three criteria I suggest you use to determine if some so-called news item is worth your time. And then we deconstruct their astrological signatures for more clues about what is happening at a deeper, more Cosmic level. We're trying this new format for a few reasons. First of all, I have been fretting that the mission statement I read out every episode is still not being fulfilled. I truly want our listeners to understand what it means to say you are the media. It could mean that you do your own research and gather data in order to get the full story, but that's not the heart of the sentiment. What I primarily mean when I say it, is that you are the MEDIA — you are the medium, the transformer, the means of downstepping the ensouled energies of the cosmic flow. My belief, based on my years of observation and thinking really effing hard about all this, is that the energies are filtering through the celestial spheres, and then we, but when it reaches us as sub-lunary units, it is filtered through us yet again. This is not a top down event, however. Those energies move through us, the final mediation point, and then into our material world.The Media, which is an industry, one with a sinister objective to distract us, even as it is disguised as “delivering news and information”, is developed in such a way that it comes between us and our experience of the world. Essentially, it seeks to replace us as the filter between the Cosmos and this local dot within it, aka our Earth. The Media isn't coming between us and our direct experiences because they are better at interpreting the energies of existence than we are. They are assuming that role — too often with our implicit permission. So, when I say you are the media, it's really a wake up call to kick out the interlopers!The Media industry wants us distracted because being distracted from our own experience means we are at worst addicted to the Media, or at the very least, reliant upon them for our experience of the world. And the more we let the Media stay in that position, the less we can rely on our own powers to mediate the ensouled energies through us and into the world, and from the world through us and back out again. The Media makes us dull, in other words. At least duller than we have to be. And it surely means we are that much more removed from our power.Oh, and while we are letting the Media drain away our powers of observation and interpretation, the Media is only too happy to make money off of having distracted us by selling the rights to our attention.This is such an egregious attack on our personal sovereignty and an abasement of the Ensouled Universe.All these ensouled energies I am always referring to both on the show, and throughout my collected works within the News from the Ensouled Universe and docu-mental: mapping the american states of mind, are the energies that comprise the stuff of all life. All life. Here on planet earth, the energies of All That Is, are moving through you, around you, and within you, and come from a level of omni-intelligence that I can only hope to have a nano-glint of understanding. That's my belief, anyway. It's the ethos that urged me to ask Elisabeth to bring her photographic memory of the planetary patterns in mundane astrology to the show. And at least for now, her more lighthearted “astonishing synchronicities between headlines and planetary patterns” will inform the show, but will be more fully available on her website: elisabethgrace.comThen there are some practical reasons for switching up the format. We were getting listener feedback that the show would be more compelling if we had more conversations and less check lists of things to speed through like a run-away train. And as Elisabeth wants you to know, and will explain in this audio, because Saturn demands it. So, we pulled together three stories with national and international tendrils, and figured what they have to do with one another, and what the implications are for all of us living in a world where these things are happening. Namely, that we live in a post-truth world. Now what? How and why should you care? We subject them to the three criteria of newsworthiness.Our three stories:* A series of unprovoked rage murders by men with fire arms.* An alleged leak of a mass of American intelligence with far reaching implications globally.* The nearly 1 billion dollar settlement out of court between News Corp/Fox News Channel and the Dominion Voting Systems. And then, with each story, we suggest ways to view it as though you are the media, beginning with asking yourself whether you should care.

Montrose Grace Place -- Tokyo Night Festival Sumo Matches -- Fitness guru/novelist Shana RossWe speak with Courtney Sellers, executive director of Montrose Grace Place. A native Houstonian, Courtney started as a Direct Mentor and Treasurer with Montrose Grace Place in 2015. In 2017 she took over as MGP Executive Director, helping to add a second night of services, increase resources, and make Montrose Grace Place more accessible for more LGBTQ+ youth. Courtney is passionate about amplifying the voices of youth experiencing homelessness and the specific intersectional needs of MGP youth who are victims of both racism, sexism, and homophobia & transphobia. Courtney loves to spend time with her daughter and their dog, exploring Houston's many thrift shops, and making a lot of noise about public transportation in Houston.Guest: Courtney Sellershttps://www.montrosegraceplace.orgWe speak with organizers of the Sumo match at the Tokyo Night Festival event. Tokyo Night Festival was started when Chef Naoki, owner of Shun Japanese Kitchen, decided to bring together amazing chefs that have been inspired by Japan to create Japanese street food with their own flair. Tokyo Night Festival aims become the largest attractions in Texas through bridging Japanese communities and those that love Japanese culture, by bringing a piece of Japan to Houston.Guest: Tam Lohttps://www.tokyonightfest.comThen, we speak with the incomparable Shana Ross for part two of her interview, fitness guru and author of the novel, Tribeless. For many adoptees, feeling out of place with no sense of true belonging is all too common. From the time she was a small child, Shana Ross struggled with these emotions. She felt mismatched from her family and her environment – like an outsider waiting to be let in.And then the truth came: her parents told her she was adopted. From that moment forward, Shana felt that her inner nature overruled nurture at every turn. She felt isolated and alone.Tribeless is Shana's account of her tumultuous upbringing by parents who never understood the biracial child they adopted from an agency in 1950s Texas. She shares the pivotal events that finally pushed her to challenge the Texas court system in 1994 to unseal her closed birth records and begin a two-year search for her birth mother that ended in heartbreaking failure. Her quest gained new hope with the advent of online DNA testing that led to the discovery of her accepting tribe twenty-two years after her search first began.Tribeless: Discovering the Truth about Nature vs. Nurture as One Woman Finds Her Birth Mother is a guiding memoir for adoptees who have craved a family that truly understood them – for those who have been waiting for their true tribe.Guest: Shana Rosshttps://www.amazon.com/Tribeless-Discovering-Nature-Nurture-Birthmother-ebook/dp/B0BFK5VDTF

Stages Theatre production "Plumsugah:The Rise of Lauren Anderson" Director and ChoreographerWe speak with director, Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton of the Stages Theatre production of "Plumsugah:The Rise of Lauren Anderson". This innovative new work blends spoken word, dance, music, and theater for a vivid and intimate look into Lauren Anderson's rise to ballet royalty and her eventual triumphant rise to accept her authentic self. In 1990, Lauren Anderson became one of the first Black principal ballerinas of a major ballet company when she ascended to Principal Dancer of the Houston Ballet. Unknown to her adoring audiences, she brought with her on stage the weight of her own tumultuous relationships, abuse, and battles with addiction. In PLUMSHUGA , you'll share a conversation with Lauren at home, where she breaks the fourth wall to discuss her greatest trials and successes by reliving them in memories painted by music and dance. This is Lauren Anderson's story in her words, for the first time ever.Guest: Deborah Moutonhttps://stageshouston.comThen we speak Harrison Homer-Guy, activist and choreographer of Plumsugah about his work on this production and his work in the community.  A leader in Houston's Black queer community since 2005, Guy was no stranger to being at the helm of an LGBTQ-focused organization. To those who knew him, his work, and his community involvement, there was no question of what he was capable of doing or what he had already accomplished. But the Mayor's Board presented a new challenge for Guy—and the community was watching closely. What transpired over the next three years was sincere, honest, and inspiring leadership. Guy also is behind the creation of Urban Souls, In the Beginning History: Urban Souls Dance Company (USDC) grew from a solo performed by founding artistic director Harrison Guy at the city-wide dance festival Dance Houston on July 30, 2004. Harrison decided to explore his potential for leadership and choreography and began teaching a free modern dance class on Sundays at Barnevelder Movement Arts Complex. Guest: Harrison Homer-Guyhttp://urbansouls.org

This week you're getting two for the price of one! We start the episode with Lone Tree! Lone Tree is the rock band you never expected. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, this group of 5 international teens formed in 2016 to create a high-energy, powerful sound that is both contemporary while firmly rooted in their influences from classic rock, funk, reggae, and the legacy of great, live music.​For the first 4 years, the band was named REFUGE which represented what they have always been about: an escape from shallow, inauthentic music. Originally meant as a joke, it ended up symbolizing their drive for social progress as well as their origins as “development kids”.​Then something changed during the pandemic. 4 years together developed their skill and creativity, but being hit with the biggest challenge imaginable helped determine their identity and purpose as a band. We talk with Teresa and Patric from the band about what it is like for them expat, how being brother and sister has helped them mature musically, what the mission of Lone Tree is, some of their experiences dealing with juggling regular life and making music, some lessons learned through traveling around the globe, their desire to express themselves through an entire album, what music has influenced them, and a ton more!SINGLE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW: 'One Season' - by Lone TreeFOR MORE INFO ON LONE TREE: www.lonetreeband.comThen, Aaron, Melanie, & Apple get into their 2021 recap and dig into the issues of dealing with depression, mental health through the pandemic, their hopes for the future of No Simple Road into 2022, and their favorite episodes of the past year!NEW!!!

Back in Grandma’s day, you had to spend an afternoon defrosting the freezer once in a while. Today we have frost-free freezers but unfortunately they can do damage to the frozen food in there. I’ll explain what to do about it.One of the reasons life is so stressful is because we try to do things that we are just not wired to do. Gretchen Rubin, host of the “Happier with Gretchen Rubin” podcast and author of the audiobook The Four Tendencies has a solution. She explains how to figure out your own personality profile and then incorporate ways to live your life that are in line with your personality. When you do, life gets easier.By the way, to take the personality test Gretchen talks about, go to her website www.GretchenRubin.comThen, a lot more kids today have allergies and eczema compared to previous generations. And it may have to do with your dishwasher. You’ll want to hear this.We humans are very good at making irrational decisions. It seems we can’t help ourselves. We like to think we are rational beings but so often what we do and how we think is driven by something else. Ron Brafman, co-author of the book Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior explains why we do irrational things and offers some advice to help you be more rational when everyone else isn’t.

The most entertaining weight loss and fitness podcast show on radio." Please click on the POD button to listen to the latest Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy radio show podcast broadcasting live each week from Atlanta, GA, USA.   To download the show on iTunes please click on this linkTonight we did the show without Dr Fitness who was partying on South Beach probably with Jennifer Nicole Lee and other hot models. But we had in his place the lovely Kathie Larkin and Tiffany Davis Atlanta Editor of the Daily Candy.On tonight's show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about Gourmet Healthy Eating from Dr Gourmet Dr. Tim Harlan. Dr Harlan is an Internist in New Orleans, who has had a love of food preparation since he was a teenager washing dishes in a restaurant. Along the way he learned cooking from many fine chefs, and at age twenty-two opened his own restaurant: a small country-French café. Dr. Harlan originally was going to get a degree in restaurant management, but he ultimately chose to become a doctor.Working as a caterer throughout school, he continued to be involved with food and cooking but noticed a lack of knowledge in the medical field about eating healthy and eating well. Neither patients nor health care providers understood much about a healthful diet. Patients, it seemed, were usually told not what they could eat but, rather, what they could not eat. And that is where Dr Gourmet was born. He was uniquely qualified to combine the benefits of creating healthy tasty recipes for his his patients. His website has eatTHISdiet plans for his patients and anyone else who is interested. There are diets that are low cholesterol, low fat, low sodium. If you have acid reflux / GERD or are on Coumadin / Warfarin and soon if you are lactose intolerant you can find recipes just for you. There is even a section for kid friendly meals and how to safely navigate fast food drive thrus. Please check it out. Dr Gourmet is a great resource www.drgourmet.com We started the show with the Pasta Queen Jennette Fulda author of the upcoming book Half Assed: A Weight Loss Memoir. Jennette says she entered this world weighing 8 pounds 5 ounces and came close to leaving it at 372 pounds. After several false starts, she started working her weight loss attempt in 2005. She blogged about it along the way and two short years later she had officially lost 186 pounds, half her weight. She is looking to drop a few more pounds to get down to her goal weight of 160. Her story is truly inspiring - she started out barely able to go a half mile on the treadmill and today she is training for her first half marathon. Please check out her blog and cheer her on to her goal weight. And while your their you can pre-order her upcoming book. www.pastaqueen.comThen we had on one of the amazing people we met when we attended the Publicity Summit in New York...Carole Brody Fleet The Widow Who Wears Stilettos. Carole was widowed at a young age and has now devoted large part of her life trying to help other young widows get back on track and live a fuller more balanced life. She has a website and an upcoming book. Her book Widows Wear Stilettos: A Practical Guide For The Young Widow is especially timely now with the war helping to create widows as young as 17 years old. Her website which is the first of its kind to deal with women going through this difficult challenge. Check it out at www.widowswearstilettos.com.Then we had the Fat Guy's Favorite drink from 2007 John Paul Lee founder of Tavalon Tea. Tavalon has been called the Starbucks of Tea. But we think they are better than that. Did you know that all tea comes from the tea leaf leaf but how it is processed determines whether it will be green, black or white? John-Paul knows that and so much more. This guy is so passionate about tea and how to give his customers a great tea experience. He talked at length about the health benefits tea. Did you know white tea has the least caffeine and black tea has the most. there are several Tavalon Tea Bars in New York City and I'm sure there will be many more popping up all over the country. This guy is on to something. So if you are interested in learning more about the ant-aging benefits of tea and want a truly premium tea you must go to www.tavalon.com. They will deliver the finest tea and tea accessories right to your door. The fat Guy says checks they are the best!And we closed the show with sweet talkin Tiffany "T-Love" Davis from the Daily Candy. Tiffany as always shares websites and resources that you cannot find on your own. She is out there scouring the internet and the streets of Atlanta to find the next hot thing. Like Bacon Salt, two flavors that were born to go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Go to www.baconsalt.com for more info. How about a site that helps you save the world a few grains of rice at a time. Go to www.freerice.com play a vocabulary game and for every correct answer you are donating some rice to hungry people. Tiffany also mentioned that a great way to start the new year off on the right foot is to start a gratitude journal. Every night before bed just take a moment to write down what you are grateful for. This might be a nice gesture from the stranger who held the door open for you or a kind word you child said to you. Only write about the good things that happened to you and you'll have a much better attidue the next day. For more great stuff from tiffany please sign up for the Daily Candy newsletter at www.dailycandy.com.Amazingly the Fat Guy is being followed by close to 3 dozen people who are interested in what he eats each day. Who would have thought?  Anyone can follow the Fat Guy's eating exploits on Twitter.  Food journals are great ways to lose weight and the Fat Guy is always trying anything in order to lose those last 20 pounds. So take a peek into his food diary. You never know what he'll write. Somehow he can stay compliant to writing on Twitter but he can't fit in exercise each day. That's right, moments after he eats something the Fat Guy Twitters about it and you can follow him so that one day if you try real hard you too can look like the Fat Guy. Please go to www.twitter.com/fatguy Hot mom, Kathie Larkin was in the studio lending her thoughts and laughter. You know Kathie as the host of Real Savvy Moms.  Real Savvy Moms is a great show for hot moms, fat moms, all kinds of moms and is available on most PBS' around the US and online and now on in Atlanta. So be sure to look out for that. Remember Kathie is one of the top feet and legs model's out there... she is so hot she got to be a body double for Alyssa Milano in that Veet commercial that is on TV 24 hours a day. Be sure to check out Kathie's website www.getkathie.com. Also check out her hosting skills on www.RealSavvyMoms.com. Remember we are now on every morning in Michigan. On radio station WKNW. They asked us to create a Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy "Wellness Minute." So now a new Wellness Minute runs on that station each morning at around 7:40. Each Wellness Minute features the doctor and I going over 5 of his best tips on a given wellness subject like: losing weight, getting in shape, living a healthy lifestyle, etc. We're working on ways to make those tips available to all our listeners. If you have a favorite radio station that you think would benefit from our Wellness Minutes send them an email telling them about it and who knows maybe you can hear us everyday too. Also once again, I need you to please do me a favor. My kid Max has been doing a radio show called "Kid Power Radio" for awhile now and you should check it out. Tiffany from The Daily Candy called his family friendly radio show "Hilarious!" This is a great show for your kids. It is kind of like a kids version of David Spade's "Showbiz Show" on Comedy Central or Entertainment Tonight mixed in with a little Wayne's World. Max recaps the week in entertainment and gives his take and review of what he liked and didn't like on TV, at the movies, video games, in books and in music and even restaurant reviews.
