What happens when a teenager's quiet night at an Oregon scout camp turns into a terrifying brush with the impossible? In this chilling episode of Bigfoot Society, Jeremiah Byron sits down with a witness from Eugene who recounts a face-to-face encounter with not one, but two Sasquatch inside their cabin on the Oregon coast. From the putrid smell that filled the room, to the shocking moment when the massive figure bumped into furniture and left behind strands of hair, this story is unforgettable.We also hear generational sightings from his grandfather in Klamath Falls, eerie encounters from Georgia highways, and strange Bigfoot activity in places like Texas, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. Along the way, we dive into the connections between footprints, UFOs, and interdimensional theories that leave even seasoned researchers puzzled.From Oakridge and Dexter Lake to the swamps of the Deep South, these accounts remind us: the forest is never empty. Tune in for one of the most intense and personal episodes yet — and decide for yourself if these creatures are closer than you think.

Stacey Abrams is a renowned political leader, lawyer, author, and advocate for equity and justice. Known for her relentless work supporting voting rights and addressing poverty and inequality, Stacey is also an acclaimed writer of legal thrillers, including her latest work, Coded Justice, which explores the ethical dilemmas surrounding AI in the legal system. With roots in the Deep South, Abrams credits her family and upbringing for inspiring her commitment to social change and her ability to translate complex issues into relatable action. Beyond politics and books, she is a powerful speaker and founder of several organizations advocating for inclusion and systemic reform. Takeaways: Power is Borrowed, Not Owned: Stacey discusses the idea that positions of authority are ultimately “borrowed power,” and true impact comes from influence, not titles. AI & Justice: Her novel Coded Justice highlights both the potential and the danger of integrating AI in the legal system, urging that technology must always operate within ethical guardrails. Leadership is Responsibility, Not Permission: Abrams emphasizes that leadership means taking responsibility and acting even without formal authority—championing the idea of being a “professional troublemaker” for good. Sound Bites: “Poverty is immoral. It is economically inefficient, and it is solvable… For me, it is a call to action.” – Stacey Abrams “You don't have to be given the authority to act, to have the responsibility of action. And that's leadership.” – Stacey Abrams “AI is a tool that can be used to build or a tool that can be used to destroy, but it's just a tool. It's up to the humans who are wielding it.” – Stacey Abrams Connect & Discover Stacey: Website: https://www.staceyabrams.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/staceyabrams Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StaceyAbramsGA# YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPjnB2FdBAvJp2fKOGzJHww X: https://x.com/staceyabrams Book: Coded Justice: A Thriller

Robert Young Pelton first became aware of the phenomenon of hired guns in the War on Terror when he met a covert team of contractors on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border in the fall of 2003. Pelton soon embarked on a globe-spanning odyssey to penetrate and understand this shadowy world, ultimately delivering stunning insights into the way private soldiers are used.Enter a blood-soaked world of South African mercenaries and tribal fighters backed by ruthless financiers. Drop into Baghdad's Green Zone, strap on body armor, and take a daily high-speed ride with a doomed crew of security contractors who dodge car bombs and snipers just to get their charges to the airport. Share a drink in a chic hotel bar with wealthy owners of private armies who debate the best way to stay alive in war zones.Licensed to Kill spans four continents and three years, taking us inside the CIA's dirty wars; the brutal contractor murders in Fallujah and the Alamo-like sieges in Najaf and Al Kut; the Deep South contractor training camps where ex–Special Operations soldiers and even small town cops learn the ropes; the contractor conventions where macho attendees swap bullet-punctuated tales and discuss upcoming gigs; and the grim Central African prison where contractors turned failed mercenaries pay a steep price.The United States has encouraged the use of the private sector in all facets of the War on Terror, placing contractors outside the bounds of functional legal constraints. With the shocking clarity that can come only from firsthand observation, Licensed to Kill painstakingly deconstructs the most controversial events and introduces the pivotal players.

I was confirmed into the Anglican Church when I was twelve years of age.  I remember it was the first time I ever wore a tie in my life. Prior to that, every week I had to ride my bicycle to the church after school and do bible studies with other kids with the Minister in order to pass the test to be able to confirmed.  My parents were not religious at all, but I guess because Christianity is such a central component to our belief systems and literature, that they wanted me to get the basics. Years later I discovered Zig Ziglar, one of the most famous modern day sales trainers.  He was raised in the Deep South of America where bible studies is very big.  I have read his books and watched his videos.  I am fan.  I noticed he was an incredible communicator.  I also noticed that a lot of his sales stories where like the parables he would have read in his “red letter” bible, that is where the words attributed to Jesus are written in red.  Australians are not particularly religious like Americans are, but I did recognise the power of these parables in communication.  I don't mean the actual quotation of the parables themselves, but the storytelling structure. The parable structure always has a learning component wrapped up in the story being told.  Often in business, we want to achieve the same thing for our audience.  We might be giving a “persuade” speech rather than simple “inform” speech” or we may be calling for the audience to “take action” rather than just “entertain” them.  The parables are always from real life, rather than being a confection created for effect.  This makes it easy for us to identify with the story.  When I mentioned going through the confirmation process as a child, I am sure many readers went through a similar experience, including those who are from Hindu, Muslim or Buddhist religious belief systems.  Our real life stories make it easy to connect with our audience, because they can understand or emphasise with what we are saying. The parables are also very easy to understand.  The message is crystal clear.  Do this and things will be good.  Do that and things will be bad.  This simplicity is what makes the storytelling so effective.  Zig Ziglar was a master of telling his stories which each had a lesson there for us in sales to absorb.  They were from his experience or the experience of others from the real world, not from the “how it should be world”.  This is the danger when we become speakers.  We pontificate from on high, from way above the clouds, as if we were superhumans who never made a mistake or had a failure.  The ego has to be strong to tell a story against yourself.  We have grown up supersensitive to being criticised and so it is like kryptonite, we avoid it completely.  Criticising yourself sounds crazy, so we only talk about what a legend we are. Zig understood that audiences love a good redemption tale. Of course we like to hear how to do things so that they go well, that parable is always in fashion.  Interestingly though, we often feel distant from this model story of bravery, perseverance against the odds, intelligence, strength and wisdom.  We naturally aspire to those things, but they can feel like they are a million miles away from where we are at this moment.  Now failure, disaster, train wrecks all feel much closer to our reality and of course we want to avoid those.  Parable stories on what no to do are much more popular than the ones on what we should be doing. When things go pear shaped, don't miss the chance to take a note on that for a future talk.  The events may feel radioactive at the time, but get it down on the record, so that you can retell it when the pain has subsided.  Particularly include the characters involved, the extent of the damage and the depth of the heroics or stupidity involved.  Don't be limited to your own disasters.  Comb through the media and books for other people's disasters, which can then be trotted out as a parable for doom and gloom.   Storytelling master Zig Ziglar copied the parables, probably without even giving it a second thought, because it was so much a part of his cultural upbringings in Yazoo City, Mississippi.  As presenters we can find our own blue ribbon stories of triumph and catastrophe.  We can wrap these up in simple, true renditions of reality that our audience can identify with and easily recall.  The parables are well remembered for a reason – they work as a storytelling structure and we can adopt it for our own talks too.  In ten minutes, I bet you can come up with at least two or three good incidents that have parable like qualities, which can then be fleshed out into mini-stories of business good and evil for an audience.  Give it a try!

Send us a textThe power of storytelling lies not just in whose stories are told, but in who gets to tell them. For Adria Walker, a seventh-generation Mississippian and race and equity journalist for The Guardian, this understanding forms the foundation of her approach to reporting on Indigenous communities across the Deep South.Walker's journey began with an unlikely childhood inspiration—the classic film "His Girl Friday" sparked her passion for journalism at just five years old. That early fascination evolved into a career defined by amplifying overlooked voices, particularly from her home state that's often misunderstood by outsiders. "Mississippi is the butt of everyone's jokes," Walker notes. "People have this idea of a state they've never visited, idea of people they've never seen." This experience of being prejudged has profoundly shaped her reporting philosophy: approaching every interview without preconceptions, letting subjects guide conversations, and seeking to understand communities on their own terms.After starting as a teenage intern at a local alt-weekly, Walker's path took her through sociology studies, freelancing and reporting in upstate New York before returning to Mississippi to cover Gullah Geechee communities and other Indigenous groups for The Guardian. Her reporting methodology emphasizes genuine human connection—striking up conversations at gas stations, attending community events even when not reporting and building relationships that extend beyond single stories. This approach has yielded rich dividends, with stories naturally "snowballing" as community members recognize her commitment and share more leads.Walker balances reporting on difficult subjects by prioritizing self-care and seeking stories that highlight joy alongside challenges. "If you're burning yourself out, you're not helping the communities you're reporting on," she explains. Her advice to aspiring journalists, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, focuses on both mastering fundamentals and showing up consistently: "You have to learn the basics, but you also have to show up for people."Discover how authentic, community-centered journalism can challenge stereotypes and elevate voices that deserve to be heard.

Four days before Christmas in 1957, Clarence Horatious Pickett, a preacher and newspaper ad salesman in Columbus, Georgia, walked into town to pick up his paycheck. Forty-eight years old and known as “Reverend” to many, the tall, lean man with wire-rimmed glasses left his home and headed toward The Columbus World, a black newspaper where Pickett worked. Pickett, who’d been a boy preacher, was showing signs of mental instability and had spent time in the county jail and the state mental hospital, which was notorious for employing doctors with addictions, poor training and racist beliefs. Before the day was over, Pickett would be arrested, jailed, and beaten senseless by a white police officer. An examining physician would conclude that Pickett was “putting on.” He wasn’t. His injuries would lead to his death two days later. Pickett’s killing would spur police and FBI investigations where a remarkable number of eyewitnesses would come forward to testify on what they saw. But would an all-white criminal justice system bring charges against a white cop for beating a black man?

 He was charming. He was convincing. And for more than a decade, Jeremy Bryan Jones was a shapeshifter moving through the Deep South—stealing names, slipping past suspicion, and leaving behind only victims and lies.In this week's ReWired episode, Dani pulls back the curtain on the illusion, dismantling the mythology of a drifter who turned murder into a method of survival.This isn't just a retelling of Jones's crimes—it's a confrontation with the systems, the psychology, and the societal blind spots that allowed a predator to keep moving, even as bodies piled up in his wake.We begin with a woman whose story was nearly erased—until a single moment of defiance broke the silence. Then we explore nine gripping speculative arcs, each one rewiring what we think we know:What if someone escaped?What if we could decode the mind of the monster before the damage was done?What if AI, deepfakes, and modern forensics could expose what the justice system missed?From the haunting legacy of a mother's denial to the terrifying plausibility of digital alibis, Dani peels back each layer with sharp analysis, gut-punch storytelling, and a challenge to the audience: What do we really see when we look evil in the eye?This episode will leave you disturbed, questioning, and unable to look away.

633. We talk to Heidi Kim about her research into the novel, Vieux Salomon. "Set in Guadeloupe, New Orleans, the surrounding Louisiana plantations, and briefly in other areas of the South, this is a key text of the history of slavery in Louisiana and the Deep South.There is obviously a difference between memoirs and novels in terms of perception and claims to nonfiction. However, in U.S. antislavery literature, both usually attempted to appeal to the same white mainstream readership (with the exception in this case of Testut's audience being French-speaking and largely Catholic). Most claimed realism; even novels asserted that they depicted events that had happened or were familiar, even if the characters were fictional." "Heidi's research and teaching ranges through 19th-21st century American literature, with specializations in the Japanese American incarceration of World War II, law and literature, and the Cold War period. She has also published on Walt Whitman and antislavery literature, including the partial translation of Louisiana Francophone novel Le Vieux Salomon, and collaborated on interdisciplinary environmental research" (Kim).

Send us a textWhat separates truly influential leaders from those who merely complete tasks? It all comes down to how they communicate. Laura Camacho, host of "Develop Your Executive Presence" podcast, reveals the critical mistake most leaders make: focusing too heavily on proving themselves rather than adding value to others.In this thought-provoking conversation, Laura introduces the powerful "flashlight concept" — the idea that in every interaction, we're either shining the light on ourselves or others. When leaders constantly highlight their own achievements and knowledge, they miss countless opportunities to create meaningful connections. Real influence happens when you turn that flashlight toward others, asking follow-up questions and showing genuine interest in their experiences.The discussion explores practical communication techniques you can implement immediately. Count how many times "I" appears in your important emails. Prepare thoughtful questions before social events. Consider how your energy levels impact your message delivery. These small shifts can dramatically transform your leadership presence.Laura also shares her personal journey as a self-described "hardcore introvert" who's built a successful career in communication. Growing up in the Deep South with a grandmother who introduced her to different languages at age four, Laura's path has been shaped by powerful influencers who showed her that women could build multi-million dollar companies when that wasn't the norm.Whether you're leading a team, building relationships, or simply wanting to communicate more effectively, this episode offers actionable insights on creating consistent routines, establishing empowering boundaries, and developing communication habits that reflect your values. Ready to stop proving yourself and start adding real value through your communication? This conversation is your starting point.To Learn more about Laura Camacho: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauramcamacho To Reach Jordan:Email: Jordan@Edwards.Consulting Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93Zw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/ Hope you find value in this.

In 1976, as America struggled to recover from the twin traumas of the Watergate scandal and the war in Vietnam, an unlikely figure emerged from the Georgia countryside promising to bring integrity back to the White House. Jimmy Carter was a drawling peanut farmer and former Navy man, whose plain-spoken message resonated with American voters. His election win marked a seismic shift in American politics. Carter became the first Deep South president since the Civil War, and he quickly pursued controversial actions: granting amnesty to conscientious objectors to the Vietnam War and pushing to give the Panama Canal back to Panama. He then set his sights on bringing peace to the Middle East with a series of risky talks at Camp David. But a lingering energy crisis would shadow his first year in office.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
