In this episode, Diana and Nicole discuss Phase 5, Part 3 of the search for Cynthia (Dillard) Royston's biological father. They review the known facts about Cynthia's life using census, tax, and estate records, as well as death certificates of her children. Diana presents her hypothesis focusing on three Dillard men who drew lots in the 1832 Gold Lottery in Cass County, Georgia: James Dillard, Joseph B. Dillard, and Roliver Dillard. She explains how they previously eliminated thirteen other Dillard candidates. They also explain how DNA evidence identifies Elijah Dillard as Cynthia's probable biological brother, which helps narrow down their shared father's location in Georgia by 1814. The hosts outline their prioritized research strategy, dividing it into documentary research and DNA analysis. For documentary evidence, they plan to survey online trees, analyze censuses, search probate records, and look through Georgia newspapers. For DNA, they focus on using Ancestry Pro Tools, analyzing network graphs, and finding the most recent common ancestor through custom clustering. Listeners will learn how to build a methodical research plan that keeps research focused. They will also learn how to write a hypothesis, prioritize a wide range of source records, and combine traditional paper trails with DNA tools to overcome tough genealogical brick walls.

KJ Dillard joins The Jamir Smith Show for a conversation that goes beyond the spotlight. From his new single “Girls in NY” and joining Bravo's Summer House to fashion, skateboarding, mental health and becoming the first Black male cast member in the show's history, KJ opens up about identity, representation and staying grounded as his platform grows. We also get into the women who shaped him, finding himself in New York and the person he refuses to lose along the way.
Ben and Alex are back to break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, Episode 5, “Imperialis,” as the struggle to rebuild Manhattan begins exposing some serious cracks beneath the surface. This week, they dive into the formation of the wonderfully bizarre Dead Squad, the growing divide over how this new society should be governed, Dillard finally finding a group where he belongs, and the increasingly complicated dynamic between Maggie and Negan. But it's the episode's shocking final confrontation that really gets the conversation going, as Ben and Alex debate whether Negan crossed a line—or simply did what no one else was willing to do. Plus, plenty of listener feedback, theories about the developing power struggle between Maggie, Renata and Negan, some speculation about where the final three episodes could take us, and the usual assortment of wonderfully inappropriate detours along the way.

Joel “Jay-Ray” Anderson is a drummer that was recently touring with The Wiz.I caught up with him mid-tour. We talked about growing up in a musical family in Fort Lauderdale, learning drums from YouTube and his oldest brother, coming up through the Dillard High School drumline, studying music at Broward College and Florida Memorial University, landing his first tour (Pretty Woman) the week after graduation, and transitioning to The Wiz through a network built one relationship at a time. We got into gospel drumming history, drumline battles, a month spent touring Japan, and why networking, not just chops, is what actually opens doors.Jay-Ray comes from a house full of musicians. His father plays guitar and sings; his oldest brother plays drums and keys; another brother sings, plays drums, and plays saxophone; and a third brother plays bass, guitar, and keys while producing. Jay-Ray's own introduction to the drums came at six years old, when his oldest brother sat him down in front of a kit for the first time. By twelve, he had his own Sonor drum set, a gift from that same brother, and was already teaching himself by copying drumming videos on YouTube.Jay-Ray attended Dillard Center for the Arts, where he played in two jazz bands, marched snare in the wind orchestra and drumline, and got pulled onto snare drum as a freshman after impressing section leader Javon with a string of paradiddles. He talks about the discipline instilled by band directors Christopher Dorsey and Dr. Sheldon McClain, learning traditional grip for the first time, and the intensity of real drumline battles.Jay-Ray studied at Broward College (Associate's in Music Performance) before transferring to Florida Memorial University for his bachelor's degree, where he played under percussion director Taurus Lovely, a 25-year Broadway touring veteran (including Tina Turner: The Musical) who would later become the person who got Jay-Ray his first tour. Jay-Ray's first trip to New York came in 2018, when Dillard's jazz band won the Essentially Ellington competition at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the same trip where he first saw a Broadway show, Ain't Too Proud.The day after Jay-Ray graduated from Florida Memorial in May 2023, Taurus Lovely called with an audition opportunity for the Pretty Woman national tour. Jay-Ray recorded four songs from the show, landed the gig, and was in rehearsals in Syracuse, New York within months. He talks candidly about the learning curve of running click tracks and Ableton on the road, getting walked through the system by original drummer Kevin Maynard, and the parts of touring nobody warns you about, like setting up and breaking down your own kit on travel days. Over roughly two years with the show, he toured extensively across the U.S. and spent a month performing in Japan (Shinjuku, Tachikawa, Kyoto, and Osaka).Jay-Ray's move to The Wiz came through his network: Sammy Merandino and Quentin “Q” Robinson recommended him, and MD Michael Aarons brought him in. Jay-Ray left Pretty Woman in Wichita and, within a week, was in New York starting rehearsals, spending his off-hours studying original drummer Trevor Holder's book and comparing the Broadway cast recording to the touring arrangement. He also shares how he first met Q Robinson years earlier, showing up at Hamilton's closing show in Fort Lauderdale just to introduce himself.Asked what he'd tell a high school or college drummer chasing a career like his, Jay-Ray's answer is simple: networking. Every opportunity in his career, from Pretty Woman to The Wiz to this very podcast episode, traces back to a relationship someone else made on his behalf.Where to Find Jay-Ray* Instagram & TikTok: @jay.ray04* Facebook: Joel Anderson* Email: joel.r.anderson04@gmail.comResources * Free: How to Land a Broadway Gig Roadmap — subscribe to Broadway Drumming 101 (free or paid) and grab it at broadwayboundbook.com/roadmap* The Broadway Sub Playbook ($7.99) — available at signaturebrandworks.com* Broadway Drumming 101 merch (backpacks, tees, hats, mugs, and more) — signaturebrandworks.com* Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career by Clayton Craddock — out nowClayton Craddock was most recently the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

Diana and Renee break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, Episode 4, "Found/Lost." Maggie and Luis hit the road in search of supplies, giving us a surprisingly vulnerable and playful side of Maggie, and a connection that may be about more than survival. We talk Maggie and Luis, the fake-out kiss, Negan and Renata's uneasy alliance, Gerald's unusual community, the mysterious Trader, and the earthquake/sinkhole that turns Manhattan upside down. Plus, the Glenn moment that hit Diana hard, Hershel and Negan's surprisingly fun chemistry, and what this episode says about moving forward after loss. And, of course… Eugene's mullet. Yay or nay?
Ben and Alex are back to break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, Episode 4, “Found/Lost,” as the season officially reaches its halfway point. This week, they dive into Maggie's continued evolution, her relationships with Luis and Renata, Negan's complicated place within the growing Manhattan community, and why this quieter, more character-driven episode still gives them plenty to unpack. They also discuss the season's refreshing approach to storytelling, the growing investment in its new characters, Dillard's increasingly intriguing role, and what the episode's final moments could mean moving forward. Plus, plenty of listener feedback, theories about Maggie and Negan's futures, some classic Walking Dead callbacks, and as usual a few completely unexpected detours along the way.

This episode explores the ongoing genealogical project to identify the biological father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston, an ancestor who remains a mystery after years of research. Diana and Nicole focus on the fifth phase of this investigation, which involves utilizing DNA and documentary evidence to connect Cynthia to potential candidates among the Dillard men who drew lots in the 1832 Georgia Gold Lottery. Diana explains how she organizes this project using Airtable to track timelines and research logs while eliminating data duplication. She also shares her strategies for managing and selecting records, such as census data from 1840 to 1880, to establish a baseline for Cynthia's birth between 1815 and 1818. Listeners learn about the practical application of locality research in genealogy as Diana investigates the counties associated with the Dillard candidates. She contrasts the availability of records in Pulaski and Oglethorpe counties, which have extant records and no major courthouse disasters, with the challenges of Burke County, where fires destroyed many documents. Diana describes how she uses the FamilySearch Wiki and 1832 maps to contextualize the migration of these men relative to Cass County. By walking through her research process, the hosts demonstrate how to combine timeline creation, map analysis, and targeted locality research to build a strategy for complex DNA projects.

The salient point of discussion in this podcast episode centers on the disconcerting decline in furniture and home furnishing store sales, which amounted to $11.35 billion in July, reflecting a 1.2% decrease from the previous year. This decline, notably the only recorded decrease among measured retail categories, raises significant concerns regarding the overall health of the furniture sector, particularly as total retail sales experienced a robust increase of 5% during the same period. We delve into the complexities of this disparity, analyzing various data sources that suggest contradictory trends within the industry, thus highlighting the nuanced landscape in which retailers operate. Furthermore, we explore ongoing trademark litigation involving Wayfair, which underscores the competitive tensions within the market, as well as the varied responses of four betting companies to prevailing soft consumer demand and tariff uncertainties. In conclusion, we examine the implications of these developments for stakeholders in the furniture industry, emphasizing the necessity of discerning genuine growth from mere statistical anomalies.Takeaways:The furniture and home furnishing sales declined by 1.2% year over year, indicating an industry contraction that warrants further examination.The ongoing lawsuit involving Wayfair illustrates the complexities of trademark disputes in the furniture sector, particularly concerning alleged deceptive practices.Retail margins in various sectors, including Dillard's, have been artificially propped up by tariff refunds, which may not sustain future profitability.The disparity in performance among companies within the same market highlights the necessity for retailers to adopt tailored strategies that address specific operational challenges.Recent trends indicate that domestic manufacturers are leveraging their heritage and customization capabilities to compete effectively against foreign investments.The evolving landscape of retail sales amidst changing consumer behaviors necessitates a careful analysis of market data to inform strategic decisions moving forward.
Dead City Season 3, Episode 3 is finally moving forward, and things are getting WILD! Diana and Renee break down the arrival of new groups, Maggie and Renata's growing leadership dynamic, Negan and Dillard's unexpected friendship, and Dillard's increasingly disturbing connection to the walkers. Then there's the hospital chao, walkers, emergency surgery, an oxygen tank fire, and way too much for one doctor to handle! We also dig into the writing, including some rushed story beats and missed emotional moments, and debate whether Maggie and Renata made the right call sending out their signal. Plus, we answer a listener's question about the biggest "good intentions gone wrong" mistakes in The Walking Dead universe, discuss the episode's themes of trust, survival, leadership and building a community, and finish with our rapid fire, predictions and recommendations.

For more than six decades, the sound of the upright bass in modern jazz has carried the unmistakable authority, elegance, and intelligence of Ron Carter.Recognized as the most recorded jazz bassist in history, Maestro Carter's tone has become part of the very architecture of the genre.From shaping the harmonic foundation behind countless landmark sessions to collaborating with many of the greatest jazz artists of our time, his artistry has both defined and expanded what the bass can be.But beyond the staggering discography lies something even more enduring: dedication.Maestro Carter has never stopped learning, never stopped refining, and never stopped listening. His commitment to excellence extends well beyond the stage and studio. As an educator and mentor, he has invested deeply in the next generation of bassists, setting a living example of discipline, curiosity, and musical integrity.Now, in yet another inspired chapter of his extraordinary career, Maestro Carter joins forces with renowned choirmaster Ricky Dillard for a powerful gospel–jazz collaboration, Sweet Sweet Spirit, released February 6, 2026.This project beautifully bridges sanctified soul and sophisticated swing, blending Carter's masterful touch with Dillard's uplifting choral brilliance.The result is music that feels both reverent and rhythmically alive, deeply rooted, yet refreshingly expansive.It is truly an honor to share this conversation with a living legend whose work continues to inspire musicians across genres and generations.Here is Maestro Ron Carter.This interview first appeared in Bass Musician Magazine in June 2026Go to jazzguitartoday.com and bassmusicianmagazine.com more interviews and lessons.
Diana and Nicole examine the ongoing research project to identify the biological father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Diana summarizes previous research phases conducted through the Research Like a Pro with DNA study group, which have systematically tested Dillard candidates and narrowed the search using documentary evidence. She explains the genealogical background of Cynthia, who was born about 1815 in Georgia, and details the elimination of various candidates from earlier research phases. The discussion also covers the DNA analysis, including the use of network graphs to identify clusters related to Elijah Dillard, a potential brother of Cynthia, and the efforts to increase genomic coverage. The hosts outline the research goals for phase 5 of the project. Listeners learn how Diana applies both documentary and DNA evidence to identify Cynthia's father. Diana describes her plan to search for connections between Cynthia and three specific Dillard men who drew lots in the 1832 Gold Lottery in Cass County, Georgia: James Dillard, Joseph B. Dillard, and Toliver Dillard. Additionally, she discusses her DNA research objective, which focuses on further analyzing network graphs and expanding DNA evidence through Y-DNA testing and improved genome coverage. By listening, you gain insight into the structured process of managing complex genealogical projects through distinct phases of investigation. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

This is part one of this interview. Part 2 and 3 should air next month. Chad and Alta Dillard have had some very interesting experiences, and we get into the initial bunch of them here. Personally, I really like their approach to it all, and find the story compelling. I will include their bio below this.Chad & Alta met and married in the early nineties in the city of Little Rock Arkansas. The marriage was one of destiny and as Alta would say, arranged. What they did not know is that from that moment on the couple would partake in a journey into the world of unknown and High Strangeness.From aliens to ghosts, to a shape shifter, from meeting people who have been seen, and some unseen, this is a story for the open minded. In 1995 Chad & Alta experienced their first UFO, a massive sight in Hammond, Louisiana. This experience opened their eyes and led them to the well-known French Quarter in New Orleans where the high strangeness continued.As they tried to take day by day to understand their place and purpose of these unusual events, they met a young lady, a co-worker named Jacqueline. Little did Jacqueline know this would be the most unusual bond of her life. In 1997, a night that would live with them to their last breath, Chad, Alta and Jacqueline were taken from a street corner in the French Quarter. Alta calls this “the night of missing time” where the three have shared their own individual experiences. Everything from Chad's blue being encounter, Alta's blond female interaction, and an implant found in her arm and four digit prints. Their story will take your breath away.The High Strangeness continued when, in 1999, Chad and Alta moved to New Mexico where Chad went face to face with a black eyed adult and other anomalous happenings. The couple moved to Denver, Colorado for their jobs, and found themselves in the middle of the infamous Columbine High School massacrewhich occurred on April 20, 1999.In 2001 the couple found their way to Alabama where Chad works with his dad in the locomotive business. Their stay continues to bring High Strangeness into their lives. The strange encounters continued, or should we say followed them, as they discovered a sasquatch creature, ghosts, red orbs, lizard monkeys and so much more.Chad and Alta encountered their second UFO while driving across Mississippi in 2012 and discovered that one of their family members has had a similar experience. The story gets more and more strange. How does this all play together? Well, they can't be sure, but what they do know is that it has happened . Sit back and listen and Chad and Alta will tell you.2026 Update: Sadly Alta passed away in Oct of 2022. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if the biggest obstacle to great patient care wasn't a clinical problem at all — but a zip code? At Your Health, patients on opposite ends of the same zip code could mean an hour of unnecessary drive time, surprise visits, and the slow erosion of trust every time a provider couldn't say exactly when they'd arrive. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Whitney Dillard, ACT Executive Director, and Alexis Reuter, Executive Director of Training, to unpack how a homegrown scheduling tool changed everything. Both came to healthcare from unexpected places — Whitney challenged her CNA boards without schooling; Alexis started at a spa front desk — and that outsider's clarity shows in how they rethought the entire scheduling experience. In this conversation, you'll hear: Why scheduling by zip code was quietly sabotaging both providers and patients The "aha moment" when a tool went from nice-to-have to non-negotiable How real care managers were brought in to "break the tool" and shape what it became Why predictable scheduling rebuilds trust in a patient's most sensitive space — their home How proactive, geolocated visits make preventative care actually work in rural Georgia and South Carolina Press play to hear how the right tool — and the right team — turned scheduling into a competitive advantage for patient trust. www.YourHealth.Org
Some wounds leave scars. Others stay hidden. They live inside first responders, veterans, military families, and the people who spent years running toward emergencies while quietly carrying their own pain. In this powerful episode of The MisFitNation, Army Veteran Rich LaMonica sits down with Ashlea Dillard — former firefighter, paramedic, licensed professional counselor, clinical and transpersonal hypnotherapist, and host of Sit Around the Fire. Ashlea spent nearly a decade answering emergency calls, walking into crisis, and helping people through some of the worst moments of their lives. But eventually, she had to face a difficult truth: The rescuer needed healing too. This conversation dives deep into the invisible weight carried by first responders and veterans:
I'm getting honest about one of the biggest mistakes I made in midlife fashion: letting the size on a clothing tag dictate how I felt about myself and what I was willing to wear. Confidence has far less to do with a number and far more to do with finding clothes that fit and flatter the body you have today. I'm sharing 10 midlife sizing lessons I learned the hard way so you don't have to—from letting go of comparisons to your younger self to understanding how fit, structure, and fabric can completely transform an outfit. If you've ever struggled with sizing, body image, or feeling confident in your clothes, I hope this encourages you to embrace where you are today and dress in a way that makes you feel your very best.

Investment-grade debt issuance fueled by hyperscalers continues at a record pace, and a new wave of AI-related IPOs—including filings and preparations by Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX—is cause for cautious optimism among investors and corporates.
