Picking up where we left off in Part 1, Earle Leonard Nelson — the man newspapers called the 'Dark Strangler,' the 'Gorilla Man,' and the 'Gorilla Killer' — unbeknownst to the public or authorities had left the Pacific Northwest and was heading east. Behind him: a trail of victims across California, Oregon, and Washington, including four in Portland alone. Ahead of him: a killing spree that would accelerate across the Midwest and Eastern United States before finally being brought to a halt in Winnipeg, Manitoba.Part 2 follows Nelson to Iowa, Kansas City, Philadelphia, and Buffalo where he would continue his brutal crimes. His final ten days would become the most violent stretch of the entire spree — five women killed across Detroit, Chicago, and Winnipeg between June 1st and June 10th, 1927. It's Winnipeg where the trail finally catches up with him, thanks to a jeweler, a barber, and a citywide search of boardinghouses.We follow Nelson's arrest, trial, and eventual execution — hanged on Friday, January 13th, 1928 at the Vaughan Street Jail, becoming the 13th person to hang there, after walking 13 steps to the gallows. His confirmed count of over twenty victims would stand as a horrifying record in America for nearly fifty years.Visit our website! Find us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Patreon, & more!

Are you interested in how to adapt our natural systems to climate change? Debate of the article titled Facilitating adaptive forest management under climate change: A spatially specific synthesis of 125 species for habitat changes and assisted migration over the eastern United States from 2019, by Louis R. Iverson, Anantha M. Prasad, Matthew P. Peters, and Stephen N. Matthews, published in the MDPI Forests journal.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Jasen Johns in episode 448 talking about urban and community forestry. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how our natural systems, specifically forests in this case, can be prepared for climate change. This article synthesises two decades of research to provide a comprehensive framework for managing species under the changing climate.Find the article through this link.Abstract: We modeled and combined outputs for 125 tree species for the eastern United States, using habitat suitability and colonization potential models along with an evaluation of adaptation traits. These outputs allowed, for the first time, the compilation of tree species' current and future potential for each unit of 55 national forests and grasslands and 469 1 × 1 degree grids across the eastern United States. A habitat suitability model, a migration simulation model, and an assessment based on biological and disturbance factors were used with United States Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis data to evaluate species potential to migrate or infill naturally into suitable habitats over the next 100 years. We describe a suite of variables, by species, for each unique geographic unit, packaged as summary tables describing current abundance, potential future change in suitable habitat, adaptability, and capability to cope with the changing climate, and colonization likelihood over 100 years. This resulting synthesis and summation effort, culminating over two decades of work, provides a detailed data set that incorporates habitat quality, land cover, and dispersal potential, spatially constrained, for nearly all the tree species of the eastern United States. These tables and maps provide an estimate of potential species trends out 100 years, intended to deliver managers and publics with practical tools to reduce the vast set of decisions before them as they proactively manage tree species in the face of climate change.Connected episodes you might be interested in:No.392 - Interview with Sebastian Pfautsch about being climate smartNo.411R - Is coastal climate adaptation infrastructure worth public investment?

My guest for the latest episode of Creative Spirits Unleashed is Peter Barr. He's a repeat guest with this being his third time on the podcast. We last spoke in July 2021. You might remember that Peter and his wife began living out of their RV six years ago, with the intention to live a life of adventure. In the prior two conversations Peter spoke about some of his harrowing experiences in the mountains, and this conversation had plenty of that and more as he describes two of his biggest changes in the last few years, as he became a father 3 years ago, and then discovered a reason for his vertigo. That became it's own journey. Peter is known as a “peak bagger”, which means he loves to get to the highest places everywhere he goes. In Peter's case, that means he's made it to thousands of them. He has hiked all 900 miles of trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, reached the highest point in 40 U.S. states and was the second person to reach the high point in all100 North Carolina counties. He completed the 2,181 mile Appalachian trail in 2010. And that's just the beginning. He's climbed the Adirondack 46ers, New England Highest Hundred, all summits (790 of them!) above 4,000 feet in elevation in the Eastern United States and more than 2000 ranked peaks nationwide. He's also the author of the definite guide on Carolina fire lookouts titled Exploring North Carolina's Lookout Towers. When you listen to this conversation, remember those statistics, because Peter tells several stories of achieving peaks and also making the difficult decision to turn around when the conditions are not right. You will also get a sense of his perseverance when he tells the story of his journey through the vertigo-causing brain tumor. Many would have given up, and without a doubt, this one tested his limits. We spent some time reflecting on the mindset required to navigate the kind of challenges that Peter seeks out. Once again, Peter gives us a masterclass on balance under pressure. Enjoy this conversation with Peter Barr.
The Pentagon has released its fourth tranche of videos and documents related to UAP under its Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) initiative, with the latest batch of materials now available for viewing at the U.S. Department of War's website. However, the latest revelations only add to a growing number of indistinct videos and other materials that raise more questions than they provide answers to. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we delve into what the latest PURSUE Release 04 contains and some of the questions that arise from viewing the new UAP materials. Is this really "Disclosure" that we're seeing, or are the recent UAP materials released by the Pentagon just the latest distraction in a long history of similar efforts by the U.S. government?

This broadcast of the Closing Market Report from June 29, 2026, hosted by Todd Gleason, provides a comprehensive overview of commodity markets, agricultural policy, industry data, and global weather patterns. The program begins with an assessment of the grain markets, noting a broad downward trend in corn, soybean, and wheat futures ahead of the upcoming USDA reports. Guest analyst Sue Martin shares regional crop insights from North Central Iowa, highlighting favorable crop appearances due to timely rains and structured planting rotations. She anticipates potential shifts in acres toward soybeans in the upcoming government data and outlines market expectations for a July low followed by a demand-driven rally tied to international trade developments with China.The report transitions into federal regulatory updates, highlighting the USDA's finalization of a voluntary regenerative feedstock rule linked to low-carbon biofuel markets and the federal 45Z credit. The program also touches on a joint university study tracking rural concerns regarding the expansion of AI data centers, as well as new bipartisan legislation designed to train local extension agents to counter the spread of the New World screwworm pest. In livestock industry updates, recent USDA NASS figures are presented, showing a total US hog and pig inventory of 73.7 million head alongside steady weaning averages. This is followed by a discussion on legislative friction regarding California's Prop 12 standards and a Supreme Court decision affecting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants, which may tighten labor supplies for food processors and meatpackers.The final segment features an ag weather analysis with Mark Russo of EverStream Analytics, detailing an immediate heat wave and high humidity building across the Corn Belt and the Central and Eastern United States. Russo reports an increase in short-term environmental stress across multiple livestock sectors—including Plains beef cattle, Midwestern poultry and swine operations, and East Coast facilities—though high winds and projected ridge shifts are expected to offer regional relief and more normalized temperatures by the following week. Additionally, the forecast indicates a low threat of disruptive heat during domestic corn pollination throughout July, while contrasting these developments with an intensifying, multi-wave European heat wave breaking all-time temperature records in Germany and Poland and compounding summer crop deficits across Western and Eastern Europe.01:22 Ag Markets with Sue Martin, Ag and Investment Services08:31 WILLAg News for June 29, 202611:52 Considering Pork Industry News15:08 Ag Weather with Mark Russo, EverStream Analytics ★ Support this podcast ★

Want to know the best winery to visit in the US? The Dr. Konstantin Frank winery was named the best winery tour in America for the third year in a row in 2024 by the USA Today 10 Best Reader's Choice Awards. What's the secret sauce? On today's show, we're headed to New York's Finger Lakes region, where winemaking dates back to the 1800s. Meaghan Frank is the great granddaughter of Dr. Konstantin Frank, a Ukrainian immigrant credited with pioneering modern wine making in the Finger Lakes. He is known as the father of vitis vinifera in the East because he taught American vintners how to grow European varietals in the cold climate of the Finger Lakes. Dr Frank developed and mastered cold weatherproofing farming techniques in Ukraine and he brought that innovation to America and his namesake winery, Dr. Frank Konstantin.Meaghan Frank inherited quite a legacy, but she's also brought her own experience and knowledge to the family winery, where she is now in charge of the day-to-day operations. Meaghan's family has many milestones to celebrate, including 40 years of making sparkling wine and women playing major roles in the winery's success and evolution. Riesling wines are a big part of the story. In fact, Dr. Frank's Riesling Vineyard, planted in 1958, is the oldest Riesling planting in the Eastern United States. Riesling is one of the most aromatic and versatile white varieties in the world, made in many styles, from bone dry to dessert wine sweet, in both still and sparkling versions. After listening to today's episode, we hope you'll be inspired to seek out Riesling in all its styles.
Founded in 1962, Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery's namesake founder planted the first vinifera vines in the Eastern United States, forever changing the course of winemaking in New York. In 1985, Dr. Konstantin Frank became the first winery in the eastern U.S. to release a traditional method sparkling wine made from classic Champagne grapes, setting a new quality standard for the region. Meaghan Frank discusses her family winery, its milestones and what sets the Finger Lakes wine region apart.The Connected Table is broadcast live Wednesdays at 2PM ET and Music on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).

More than 70 million Americans sweated through the muggiest first two months of summer on record as climate change has noticeably dialed up the Eastern United States' humidity in recent decades, an Associated Press data analysis shows. And that meant uncomfortably warm and potentially dangerous nights in many cities the last several weeks. In other news, Ken Paxton is asking that California law enforcement officers be allowed to arrest Texas House Democrats who are staying in the state. It's the second time this week Paxton has petitioned a state to allow civil arrest warrants issued by the Texas House to be enforced outside of state lines; NYSE and the Nasdaq place big bets on ‘Y'all Street', but TXSE has an ace up its sleeve; and the Dallas Cowboys season is underway. Fresh out of training camp, Dallas got things started with their preseason opener against the Rams, putting forth a rather hazy effort in Los Angeles en route to a 31-21 loss.

While Tuesday's outlook may be somewhat unremarkable, the forecast is likely to get a little more exciting later in the week when the heat dome currently stationed over most of the Eastern United States is expected to make its way toward Texas. In other news, Gov. Greg Abbott announced that he will call a special session of the Legislature after vetoing several bills Sunday night. That will summon Texas lawmakers back to the Capitol to focus on several key issues — including regulating hemp-derived THC products; Dallas-Fort Worth law enforcement will host active shooter training across North Texas this weekend. North Texas law enforcement agencies announced the community sessions Monday at the Grand Prairie Public Safety office; and Senate Bill 22, which invests $1.5 billion into Texas' film incentives program over the next decade, has been passed into law and will go into effect starting Sept. 1. The piece of legislation was not among the 334 bills that Gov. Greg Abbott signed and publicly endorsed on Sunday, but bills can become law without his signature, per the state constitution.

Remember grocery shopping in 2016 and the outrage over eight-dollar cauliflower? Since then, the Covid-19 pandemic caused havoc with the global supply chain and drove up the costs of everything - from food to vehicles. Now, there's another blow to shipping and a boost in the cost of goods. This week, dockworkers in the Eastern United States went on strike, and the Retail Council of Canada says we're all going to feel it. Jim Cormier, Atlantic director of the trade association spoke with the CBC's Leigh Anne Power.

Todd Kliman, is a James Beard Award winning writer. After reading The Wild Vine you will know why. He has an incredible ability to bring to life the story of the Norton Grape and have you feel as if you just entered another world, you didn't even know existed. All the time going back into time and then bringing you back to the moment. He started out with the idea that he would write a column about Norton. But after meeting Jenni McCloud at Chrysalis Vineyards and spending time understanding her story and why she planted the largest single vineyard of Norton in the world he realized there was much more to this story and was inspired to write his book about it.For my part this is one of the more intriguing and interesting Podcast Episode interviews I have ever done. It just crystalized for me why I have been captivated by Norton and the wines it can produce when grown and vinted by a talented winegrower. One last note; if you ever have the opportunity to taste a well-aged Norton wine, say one that is at least 10 to 15 years in age, you will then understand and wonder like Todd does in the last segment of this Episode; what if Prohibition had not happened and wiped out all of the winegrowing in the Eastern United States what could have been. Enjoy the Episode.Thanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast. For more information go to www.finewineconfidential.com

Are forest fires a good thing? When most people think of forest fires, they might imagine the destructive wildfires out west. But for our forests in the Eastern United States, hardwood forests are going through dramatic changes in species composition due to a lack of fire in the landscape. In particular, fire suppression policies have contributed to a precipitous decline of young oak forests. On this week's episode of The Hardy Woods Podcast, we talk to Dr. Daniel Dey of the US Forest Service to talk about what can be done to save these amazing trees and why simply bringing back fire isn't enough.

What started out as a project in a screenwriting class in a writers boot camp, has turned into a novel describing how Nashville, also known as “Music City” evolved into what it is today… or not. Nashville Tennessee is well known for its Country music, but did you know that the birthplace of Rhythm and Blues, or what we these days call “R&B” actually was born in this Middle Tennessee City we call Nashville. The moniker “Music City” was actually derived from the1860's after the Civil War, when the Jubilee Singers from Nashville's Fisk University performed in front of England's Queen Victoria, preceding Country music by approximately 80 years or so. In the studio today, we chat with author Paula Blackman about the “night music” that took place in Nashville in the midst of segregation in the 40's, 50's and early 60's, how the legendary Nashville TN based WLAC Radio had the ability to broadcast across the Eastern United States, and how this worked out in the favor of introducing R&B Music to the World. A retired gemologist, Paula Hope Blackman turned her lifelong storytelling hobby into a second career, becoming an author, screenwriter and playwright. She is a sixth generation native of Tennessee, who divides her time between Nashville and Southwest Florida, where she lives with her husband, Michael Iacampo. www.paulahope.com Creator and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella Showrunner and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender Management Representation: Chuck Thompson for Thompson Entertainment Group, LLC Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment All Around Problem Solver (and Mental Health Therapist for us): Connie Ribas Recorded at Music Dog Studios in Nashville TN Mixed and Mastered at Bobby's Diner & Studio in Nashville, TN Editing and Post at Midnight Express Studio located in Olian, NY Production Sound Design: Keith Stark Voice Over and Promo: Lisa Fuson Special Thanks to the creator and founder of the podcast, Tom Sabella, along with Traci Snow for producing and hosting over 100 episodes of the original "Business Side of Music" podcast and trusting us to carry on their legacy.

We had the UFO Genesis Pass in November 2022 with over 8000 mints, which helped create an audience and community starting from scratch, which has only grown since then.In June 2023, UFO was the first podcast to mint on the Zora network as it went live. We publish to an 1155 contract, and you can listen and mint onchain via all your favorite apps.There's been 61 guests on UFO, covering arts, music, technology, and culture. Exploring trends in AI, web3 social, onchain media. Many of the most happening projects have dropped into the UFO studios to share stories along the way.It's been a place for revolutionary ideas. A show to discover new projects and the people creating them. Revealing the many connections and friendships between people in this space who are collaborating and building things together.It is a counterculture scene, spread across the world, and happening for the most part online and onchain.Now that we're here, next steps for UFO is launching a collective of podcasts. Building towards an onchain radio station and magazine from ufo.fm.Our approach is a combination of music, arts and ideas. These podcasts we have coming through, including quite a few we're not announcing yet, will surprise and delight our listeners. We're still early.This recording for UFO 50 with Alex, aiio and LGHT was the first time the four of us have all spoken together. We talk about UFO as a collective signal. The vital importance for collective platforms like this to exist. Sharing experiences and imaginings for how we see this going forward into 2024 and beyond.Thank you for being here.

It's easy to theorize and speculate about angels and demons. But what do you do when you actually encounter demonic activity in your home or parish? Fr. Creighton and Fr. Hayden find out by sitting with Fr. Matt Harlow, the Canon to the Ordinary in the Diocese of the Eastern United States of the Anglican Province of America, as he recounts an experience they had at his parish, Christ the Redeemer in Warner Robins, Georgia.

Because I travel so much, I watch the Weather Channel, or something like it, a lot. I just sat back, this one time, in amazement as I watched them track this monster low pressure system moving across the country. By the time it reached the Eastern United States, that low pressure system stretched on the Weather Channel map from the Maritime Provinces in Canada all the way to Mexico! I mean, it was massive! And everywhere it went, it left flooding rains or heavy snows or even violent weather. In Minnesota, for example, this low pressure system registered the lowest barometric pressure ever. All across the eastern half of the country, the news reported massive power outages, cancellations, delays. For millions of Americans, whatever they had planned just didn't happen. I'm Ron Hutchcraft, and I want to have A Word With You today about "What God's Saying In Your Storm." One thing a night like that turbulent weather night demonstrates is this: God can change your plans anytime. And He may be bringing some weather into your life right now to do just that. Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Psalm 148 beginning at verse 1. It's a Psalm that reaches across the universe to celebrate the scope of God's power and control, and to remind us of the size of the God we belong to. "Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise Him in the heights above. Praise Him, all His angels, praise Him, all His heavenly hosts. Praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him all you shining stars... Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths, lightning and hail, snow and clouds..." And then this phrase that just leaped out at me, "Praise the Lord...stormy winds that do His bidding." Obviously, this refers to the physical storms that blow through our lives, but I believe it's true of all the stormy winds that hit us: medical storms, financial storms, emotional storms, all those "turbulences" that take things out of our control. They are "stormy winds that do His bidding." If you're feeling some of those stormy winds right now, remember that God is asserting His sovereignty over your life, and your plans, your priorities, and your timing. He is in charge - and sometimes we forget. But as His stormy winds move across the weather map of our lives, we can remember again that "our times are in His hands." If it's stormy right now, consider what He might be trying to say to you. As Solomon tells us, "When times are good, be happy; when times are bad, consider..." (Ecclesiastes 7:14). Is God trying to slow you down? Does He want you to reconsider? Is He trying to get you to change course? Is He trying to get your attention because you've been ignoring something He's trying to say to you or something He's trying to do in your life? Don't just stand there frustrated because His weather has messed up your plans. Don't fight what He's trying to do. Listen for God in this storm! It's hard to be a follower of Jesus when you're a rigid person. Following someone requires flexibility because you never know when your leader is going to speed up, slow down, make a turn, or change direction. Actually, flexibility is fundamental to being able to follow the dynamic leadership of Jesus Christ. And the storm is a lot more bearable when you go with His flow rather than flying stubbornly against it. The stormy wind blowing in your life right now is doing God's bidding. Make sure that you are.

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”On November 9, 1965, a huge portion of the Eastern United States experienced a power outage that began at 5:17 p.m. and lasted until 7:00 a.m. the next day in most areas. According to an article on the New England Historical Society website, it happened because maintenance workers “set a protective relay too low on a power line to Ontario, which then tripped the relay. It then sent power to other lines, overloading them.” At the time, the entire U.S. was in the midst of a UFO flap, and there was speculation that UFOs had something to do with the outage. As far-fetched as that might seem, this was considered seriously by Saturday Review columnist John Fuller in his 1966 book, Incident at Exeter and was discussed in Congress in 1968 during a UFO symposium. A high-strangeness aspect to all this is that Oscar-nominated actor Stuart Whitman, claimed he was given an explanation by the occupants of two UFOs he saw in New York City the night of the blackout.

Matt and Gus do a deep dive on the extinction of Eastern Elk, the reintroduction of elk to the mountains east of the Mississippi River through various conservation programs and the best places to hunt them today and how to go about doing so. Topics Discussed: Cracking a bottle of Old Elk bourbon and some alleged insight into the distillery's treatment of its employees and legitimacy of its master distiller's involvement. History of the Eastern Elk in North America. The eventual extinction of them through hunting and human contact as Europeans settled the united states. Reintroducing elk to the Eastern United States nearly 150 years later in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Tennessee. A breakdown of how herds of elk are thriving in each of those four states. Where the elk were captured for reintroduction. Which of the four states are your best shot for getting a chance at a tag to hunt. The success rates for those hunts and how many tags are given each year. What the future looks like for elk hunting in the Eastern United States. What biological and environmental factors play a role in the success of these herds.

This month, Bill and Steve visit Floating Fen, although some might call it a bog, or is it a swamp? Thankfully, they're joined by Erik Danielson, Stewardship Coordinator of the Western NY Land Conservancy (WNYLC), who schools them on the difference between these wetlands. Erik and the WNYLC are trying to preserve Floating Fen, a property home to a unique wetland, extraordinary life, and a diverse forest. Erik guides Bill and Steve through the fen, discussing just what makes a bog a bog and a fen a fen, as well as what makes these peatlands such amazing habitats.The episode was recorded on June 17, 2023 at the Floating Fen near Fredonia, NY.Episode Notes Please comment below if you notice any mistakes or unanswered questions in the episode.Links to the Western NY Land ConservancyVisit the website of the Western New York Land Conservancy to find out more about their vital conservation efforts.Find out more about the Floating Fen, including the efforts to preserve it.Explore the WNY Land Conservancy's Western New York Wildway, their ambitious new initiative to create an extensive series of protected lands that connect the vast forests of northern Pennsylvania to the Great Lakes, central NY, the Adirondacks, and beyond.Other Episode-related LinksA one-page primer on Conservation EasementsThe book that Erik mentioned was A Focus on Peatlands and Peat Mosses by Howard (not Viktor) Crum.The Wildlands Network - the group responsible for initially identifying the four “Continental Wildways” traversing the Pacific and Atlantic coastlines, the Canadian Boreal Forest region, and the “Spine of the Continent” between Alaska and Mexico.Bill's article about Mike Radomski, Outside Chronicles, and the WNY Hiking ChallengeSponsors and Ways to Support UsGumleaf Boots, USA (free shipping for patrons)Thank you to Always Wandering Art (Website and Etsy Shop) for providing the artwork for many of our episodes!

I have no horse in this race. But many do. Where did the Book of Mormon take place? The academic model is the Meso-American model. But there is a growing belief in what has become known as the Heartland model which states that the Book of Mormon took place in the Eastern United States. According to scholar Jonathan Neville, one of the thought leaders of the Heartland Model, if we simply listen to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery, we would have to take a closer look at this model. Is there "gatekeeping" going on at Book of Mormon Central (Scripture Central)? Key to the Heartland Model is the location of Cumorah. The Meso-American Model has the Hill Cumorah in Meso-America. The Heartland Model in New York. Obviously, the plates were found in New York, but the meta-narrative is that this hill was mistakenly called Cumorah or "traditionally" called Cumorah. Listen to this conversation and make your own judgment. Website - www.cwicmedia.com
