RECALL: Act Two In February 1961, the boys of Miami Military Academy are still marching, joking, fighting, shaving, bleeding, stealing, and pretending the world outside the gates is someone else’s problem. But the world is already inside the school. It is in the news from Cuba. It is in the old munitions bunkers by the bay. It is in the secrets the adults keep, the wounds they drink through, and the wars they keep handing down to children. Written by Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison, and once optioned and held by the great Al Pacino, RECALL is a funny, savage, deeply human coming-of-age drama about abandoned boys, broken fathers, old soldiers, Cuban exiles, secret weapons, and the machinery that turns fear into patriotism. Act Two begins as Stephen Lishinsky tries to survive the strange education of “A” Company. His head has been butchered. His pride has been beaten. His idea of honor has already taken a few direct hits. When he tries to run, Commander Patterson finds him at the bus stop and gives him the kind of broken advice only a broken soldier can give: if you are in a storm, sometimes the only move is to sit tight and let the morning come. But morning at Miami Military Academy is never clean. Coombs is missing. The Razor Fiend is back. Bear is bleeding into the sink. Lindquist, the feral boy from the mango trees, is pulled into uniform and passed off as a cadet because, at this school, identity is just another piece of equipment someone misplaced. Sally Barnes drifts through the place like a lit match, furious at her father, suspicious of Patterson, and impossible for Lishinsky to ignore. Patterson tries to protect her, but the past between him, Colonel Barnes, and Sally’s mother is its own battlefield. Meanwhile, Slouch and Bebop stop pretending their war is imaginary. The key to Bunker 3 becomes guns, ammunition, and contraband dragged through the machinery of a school that is already falling apart. Patterson lectures boys on amphibious landings while the real invasion waits in the shadows. Bebop is pulled closer to the Cuban exile cause. Slouch, half romantic and half criminal, follows him into the Everglades, into blindfolds, pistols, secret rooms, and men who do not look like teachers. There is comedy everywhere because boys make comedy out of terror. There is coconut rum, marching songs, bad haircuts, chocolate cokes, contraband, dirty jokes, and the Dade County Fair waiting like a reward for good behavior nobody intends to have. But underneath the noise, the rifles are getting heavier. The lies are getting harder to carry. And the adults are running out of time. RECALL is about boyhood at the exact moment history stops being a lesson and starts becoming a weapon. It is about fathers who failed, sons who improvise, countries that ask for sacrifice before they explain the cost, and boys who are still laughing because they do not yet understand what the world is loading.

This hour opens with a Dolphins discussion centered around the team's new regime, which Joe says has brought a breath of fresh air and officially moved the organization past the bad vibes of recent years. The conversation quickly turns back to Tua Tagovailoa, with Joe insisting he's moved on while Hollywood isn't fully convinced, leading to debate about Tua's potential future in Atlanta, whether he could realistically win a starting job, and revisiting some of his well-known press conference miscues. The guys also weigh Mike McDaniel's outlook compared to Tua's and which one is more likely to find success moving forward. The discussion then shifts to the NBA and the Knicks, where the Heat-Knicks rivalry, fan behavior, and perceptions of today's Knicks roster are explored, including whether players like Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart make this version of New York more likable despite the intensity of their fan base. The hour wraps with Hollywood's Headlines, featuring Shohei Ohtani's minor knee injury and GOAT debate, ongoing drama surrounding Bill Belichick and UNC involving Jordon Hudson and a public records request, Ben Stiller filming the Knicks' Finals run, Phil Mickelson's reported ban from a golf club, and an Everglades cleanup effort that removed hundreds of invasive Burmese pythons.

In today's edition of Hollywood's Headlines, the guys react to Shohei Ohtani exiting yesterday's game with what appears to be a minor knee injury, and debate whether he is already the greatest baseball player of all time given his unprecedented ability to dominate as both an elite hitter and pitcher. The conversation then shifts to Bill Belichick's off-field drama, as Jordon Hudson reportedly makes a public records request in an attempt to uncover Pablo Torre's source behind a critical story, with Joe placing blame on Belichick for the ongoing media chaos surrounding his time at UNC. The segment continues with lighter but wide-ranging headlines, including Ben Stiller filming an HBO documentary on the Knicks' Finals run entirely on his iPhone, Phil Mickelson being banned from a San Diego golf club over alleged misconduct, and a massive Everglades cleanup effort that removed 177 invasive Burmese pythons totaling nearly 8,000 pounds.

Josh opens up about the challenges of running a creative business, why learning to say "no" became one of the most important lessons of his career, and how becoming a father completely changed his perspective on success.   The crew also explores the connection between hunting, fishing, conservation, and storytelling. From Florida's red tide crisis and Everglades restoration efforts to Minnesota wetlands and waterfowl habitat, the conversation highlights how some of the strongest advocates for conservation are often the people who spend the most time outdoors.   Whether you're building a business, pursuing a passion project, or simply trying to create a more meaningful life, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and perspective from someone who has spent years documenting people who live life to the fullest.   Topics Covered: Josh Bodkin's journey from Florida fishing guide to media entrepreneur Building Solar Wave Media and Chasing Passion Magazine Entrepreneurship and the realities of creative work The power of saying "no" Fatherhood and redefining success Adventure, storytelling, and outdoor culture Conservation through hunting and fishing Florida red tide and Everglades restoration Why outdoor enthusiasts are often conservationists first Living a life driven by curiosity and purpose   Thanks for listening to the Midwest Flyways Podcast and be sure to subscribe and review!   Join Flyways Hunt Club and get 1 month free!

The Backwoods Cryptid Road Trip rolls south out of the Delaware mud and doesn't stop until the asphalt runs out at the edge of the wet. This stop is Florida, and the thing waiting in the saw grass is the Skunk Ape, the South's swamp-bound cousin to Bigfoot, seven feet of reddish-brown hair that most witnesses say they smell long before they see.Rotten eggs, wet dog, sulfur, a stink that hangs in the yard for an hour after the thing is gone. We get into the encounters fast and we get into a lot of them, because that's what you came for.A night fisherman who kills his lantern and still sees two eyes burning high over the reeds. A family watching something cross the road that stands taller than a six-foot-five inch man. Hunters who could taste the smell before anything stepped out of the palmetto. A scream out of the Big Cypress dark that froze a campsite, and the thing that came to a four-year-old's bedroom window and held her gaze through the glass. Along the way we work the documented record the way you work an open case, weighing a Vietnam vet and former cop named Charles Stoeckman who slept a month with a shotgun, a tour guide and thirty passengers who watched one rock back and forth for fifteen minutes, a fire chief and a real estate agent who saw the same creature minutes apart on the same road, and the 1977 wave that got loud enough that a Florida lawmaker actually tried to make it a crime to harm one.We dig into the famous Myakka photographs, the two flash shots an anonymous grandmother mailed to the Sarasota sheriff asking if anyone was missing an orangutan, and why a quarter century later nobody's closed the case in either direction. We spend real time with Dave Shealy and his Skunk Ape Research Headquarters out on the Tamiami Trail, the man who's given fifty years and the most argued-over footage in the field to proving the thing is real.Then we do the honest part, the bears and the panthers and the genuinely-real wild monkey colonies breeding in Florida's woods, the skeptics inside the research community who put the credible-sighting rate at maybe five out of a hundred and fifty, and the one detail none of the easy answers explains: the smell.Roll the windows up for this one. Trust me. Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

fWotD Episode 3318: Geography and ecology of the Everglades Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 5 June 2026, is Geography and ecology of the Everglades.Before drainage, the Everglades, a region of tropical wetlands in southern Florida, were an interwoven mesh of marshes and prairies covering 4,000 square miles (10,000 km2). The Everglades is both a vast watershed that has historically extended from Lake Okeechobee 100 miles (160 km) south to Florida Bay (around one-third of the southern Florida peninsula), and many interconnected ecosystems within a geographic boundary. It is such a unique meeting of water, land, and climate that the use of either singular or plural to refer to the Everglades is appropriate. When Marjory Stoneman Douglas wrote her definitive description of the region in 1947, she used the metaphor "River of Grass" to explain the blending of water and plant life.Although sawgrass and sloughs are the enduring geographical icons of the Everglades, other ecosystems are just as vital, and the borders marking them are subtle or nonexistent. Pinelands and tropical hardwood hammocks are located throughout the sloughs; the trees, rooted in soil inches above the peat, marl, or water, support a variety of wildlife. The oldest and tallest trees are cypresses, whose roots are specially adapted to grow underwater for months at a time. The Big Cypress Swamp is well known for its 500-year-old cypresses, though cypress domes can appear throughout the Everglades. As the freshwater from Lake Okeechobee makes its way to Florida Bay, it meets saltwater from the Gulf of Mexico; mangrove forests grow in this transitional zone, providing nursery and nesting conditions for many species of birds, fish, and invertebrates. The marine environment of Florida Bay is also considered part of the Everglades because its seagrasses and aquatic life are attracted to the constant discharge of freshwater.These ecological systems are always changing due to environmental factors. Geographic features such as the Western Flatwoods, Eastern Flatwoods, and Atlantic Coastal Ridge affect drainage patterns. Geologic elements, climate, and the frequency of storms and fire are formative processes for the Everglades. They help to sustain and transform the ecosystems in the Shark River Valley, Big Cypress Swamp, coastal areas, and mangrove forests. Ecosystems have been described as both fragile and resilient. Minor fluctuations in water levels have far-reaching consequences for many plant and animal species, and the system cycles and pulses with each change.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:22 UTC on Friday, 5 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Geography and ecology of the Everglades on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Danielle.

What happens before a single power line ever goes up?Ryan sits down with Jake Brown, Brad Minerick, and Jonathan Pipsair to pull back the curtain on foundation drilling, one of the most important and least understood trades in the utility industry.Jake is a VP-level drilling operations leader overseeing projects across North America. Brad is a superintendent who has spent years balancing road life, family, and leadership in the field. Jonathan brings more than 40 years of experience in foundation drilling, including marine and amphibious projects throughout the Everglades and Louisiana.Together, they share what decades in the trade have taught them about road life, family sacrifice, career growth, leadership, and the hidden work that happens long before the lights turn on.The conversation explores why drilling is more art than science, what most people never see behind reliable power, the realities of spending years on the road, and why the higher you climb the ladder, the more you should understand what you're asking for.Whether you're an apprentice, journeyman, supervisor, contractor, or simply curious about the people who build the infrastructure around us, this episode offers a rare look into the foundation of line work.Topics covered:The hidden trade behind every power lineWhy drilling is more art than scienceThe realities of life on the roadFamily sacrifice and career growthThe generation gap in the tradesLeadership, ambition, and climbing the ladderPride in building something tangibleWhat decades in the field teach you about success✌️SUPPORT THE PODCAST HERE ✌️

THE STORM THAT BROKE THE BOOM: THE GREAT MIAMI HURRICANE OF 1926Weather With Enthusiasm | Kol Simcha Productions━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━EPISODE SUMMARYOn the morning of September 18, 1926, a Category 4 hurricane made landfall near Perrine, Florida — just fifteen miles south of downtown Miami — and changed American history. The storm caught a booming, unprepared city almost entirely by surprise, killing hundreds, displacing tens of thousands, and delivering the final blow to the greatest real estate speculation in American history: the Florida Land Boom.This episode tells the full story: the storm's origin in the central Atlantic, the catastrophic failure of the warning system, the deadly lull of the eye, the destruction in Miami and Moore Haven, the economic collapse that followed — and why this hurricane still matters today.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━KEY FACTSMETEOROLOGICAL DETAILS• Storm type: Classic Cape Verde hurricane• Formed: September 11, 1926, central Atlantic Ocean• Category at landfall: 4 (Saffir-Simpson scale)• Peak sustained winds: 150 mph (September 16, 1926)• Winds at Miami landfall: 145 mph• Recorded wind speed: 128 mph from the east/southeast at 7:30 a.m.; anemometer blew away at 8:12 a.m. while registering 120 mph; estimated peak 140–150 mph• Barometric pressure at Miami: 27.61 inches (minimum recorded)• Landfall location: Near Perrine, Florida (15 miles south of downtown Miami)• Landfall date/time: Before 12:00 UTC, September 18, 1926• Radius of storm: Approximately 60 miles wide at landfall; outermost closed isobar 375 miles acrossSTORM SURGE• Coconut Grove: 14–15 feet• Dinner Key: 11.7 feet• Miami Beach and barrier islands: 10-foot surge• Moore Haven (Lake Okeechobee): 13–15 feet of water after dike breach• MacArthur Causeway: submerged under 6 feet of waterTIMELINE• September 11: Storm forms in central Atlantic• September 15–16: Passes north of Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico; reaches Category 4• September 17, noon: Miami Weather Bureau posts storm warnings (one step below hurricane)• September 17, ~11 PM: Hurricane warnings finally issued as barometer drops sharply• September 18, ~2:00 AM: Storm hits Miami Beach• September 18, ~6:30 AM: Eye passes over downtown Miami — lull of ~35 minutes• September 18, ~7:00 AM: Back wall of hurricane arrives; worst destruction begins• September 20: Second landfall near Pensacola, Florida (Category 3)• September 21: Moves into Mississippi and LouisianaDEATH TOLL AND CASUALTIES• Red Cross reported deaths: 372 (as of October 9, 1926)• Deaths in Miami alone: 114• Moore Haven deaths: At least 150 confirmed; estimates up to 300• Missing persons: More than 800 never accounted for• Total injured: Over 6,000• Total deaths across full storm path (including Pensacola/Mobile): 243+DESTRUCTION IN MIAMI AND SOUTH FLORIDA• Homes destroyed: 2,000• Homes damaged: 3,000• Homeless residents: 25,000–47,000• Every building in downtown Miami was damaged or destroyed• Collins Avenue covered in sand; lobbies of oceanfront hotels flooded• Utilities (electricity, water) cut offMOORE HAVEN DISASTER• Lake Okeechobee surge burst through earthen dikes (only 6 feet tall)• Town submerged under 13–15 feet of water• Most buildings swept off foundations• Many bodies carried into the Everglades and never recoveredECONOMIC IMPACT• Property damage (1926 dollars): $105 million (Florida alone: $75 million)• Adjusted for inflation: More than $164 billion in today's dollars• Wealth-normalized estimate (2018): $235.9 billion — the costliest U.S. hurricane on record by that measure• Estimated cost if an identical storm struck in 2005: $140–157 billion• Described by the U.S. Weather Service as "probably the most destructive storm in the history of the United States"• Delivered the final blow to the Florida Land Boom; thousands of newcomers left the state• South Florida entered economic depression three years ahead of the rest of the country• Full economic recovery did not come until the 1940sLEGACY• Miami appointed its first chief building inspector, who created what became the first enforced municipal building code in the United States — later adopted by more than 5,000 U.S. cities• Florida State Legislature created the Okeechobee Flood Control District• President-elect Herbert Hoover visited; authorized cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for comprehensive flood control• Hurricane warning systems nationwide were overhauled• The University of Miami, which opened weeks after the storm, spent its first 15 years in financial hardship due to the boom's collapse━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━SOURCES AND FURTHER READING• NOAA / National Weather Service Miami — "Great Miami Hurricane of 1926" https://www.weather.gov/mfl/miami_hurricane• NOAA National Hurricane Center — "Hurricanes in History" https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/outreach/history/• Wikipedia — "1926 Miami hurricane" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1926_Miami_hurricane• PBS American Experience — "The Hurricane of 1926" https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/miami-hurricane-1926/• Flamingo Gardens — "Eye-witness Account of the Great Hurricane of 1926" (D.

Revisited: Everglades Resortation Progress

2 Real Cryptid Legends with Darrell Denton, Ron Morehead and Moderator Host and Producer Michelle Desrochers , Guest Host Royce Morehead Guest: M.K.Davis May 25th, 2026 EP: 015 TOPIC: A Quest Towards a deeper understanding of Sasquatch PLEASE NOTE: Sensitive SHOW CONTACT: michelledesrocherscontact@gmail.com About M.K. Davis: For the last 31 years M.K.Davis has been researching the subject of the Sasquatch. M.K.'s quest began quietly with his interest in astro-photography where he gained experience with film and how to photograph the very faint objects in the heavens. One day, all those years ago, M.K. saw two very high quality frames from the famous Patterson Bigfoot film and they were nothing like what was commonly shown on television and the movie theaters. M.K. began an inquiry into this famous piece of cinema that has taken him around the country until he had obtained the highest quality frames from the film. From there he reprocessed the frames and removed all hand motion to produce the clearest and most stable version of the film to date. This led to a wider pursuit in search of the answers such as "What is the nature of the Sasquatch?" and "What is the importance of the Sasquatch and how does it relate to each of us?" M.K. has travelled to and hiked many of the major wilderness areas in his quest for the answers to such questions. From Bluff Creek in Northern California to the Jarbidge Wilderness in Northern Nevada and down to Death Valley and Joshua Tree National Parks in the Mojave desert, Texas hill country, Louisiana swamps, The Everglades, and most everywhere in between, M.K. has been there.

As we continue our commemoration of America 250, we're inspired to present a variety of different celebrations of our country. In that spirit, we are honored to welcome on theshow Dr. Matthew Mehan of Hillsdale College, Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Government at the Van Andel Graduate School in Washington, D.C.

Dr. Mehan joins us to share the stories behind the book, the timeless lessons inside, and why these fables matter now more than ever.Purchase The American Book of FablesFollow Dr. Mehan's work at Hillsdale in DC

Send us Fan MailSnow in May sounds like a joke until you are 15 hours from home, standing on a Minnesota ramp, watching it actually fall while the wind stacks up three to four foot rollers. We share what that trip taught us about smallmouth fishing and about bass boat setup when the water turns into a constant stress test. The goal was simple: catch giant brown fish and see what the H-22 jack plate does in true big-water conditions where long runs punish a bad balance point. Then we jump to the opposite extreme, down in the Everglades and Keys zone, chasing invasive exotics like Oscars and cichlids and learning how to catch peacock bass. One tip changed everything for us: you often cannot “see” peacocks until you train your eyes to hunt for the orange fins, and once you do, the whole canal starts to light up. We also talk about bedding fish around rocks and bridges, shallow access with a jack plate, and why that style of fishing feels like a different planet from home water. From there, it gets technical in the best way. We break down ongoing H-22 testing across different hulls, what counterweights really do, how poles dragging can cost speed, and why most boats look fast but are still running too wet with the water break pushed forward. If you care about bass boat performance, jack plate setup, prop efficiency, rough water ride, and real-world speed with a fishing load, this is the kind of shop-talk that turns into results on the lake.

A few weeks back we wondered how well Michael would fare at the box office. There is so much to his legacy that we truly had no idea. Two weeks later, we have a good idea. It also leads to a discussion about how the media, especially movie critics, really suck. It took one of us a second viewing to truly appreciate it, but we both loved Longlegs. It is moody, well acted, and just all around frightening. Unsurprisingly, we are very excited to see the sequel. Surprisingly, that is going to be longer than expected. Hokum was recently released and will probably end up being on the list for one of the best horror movies of the year. Based on his output, it seems like director Damian McCarthy has a promising future in horror. At least we thought that until The Python Hunt did not have to do much. The true story is centered around an annual competition in Florida about the hunting and killing of invasive pythons in the Everglades. This means you will get a cool setting, conflict, and eccentric characters. So, how does the film disappoint after delivering on all of this? This documentary is a great example of how important it is for this type of release to have some type of message or some semblance of a story. It is certainly interesting, but that will only take you so far. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

A listener writes "My name is Timothy, and I want to say how much I enjoy your show and appreciate the work you do. I'm a Seminole Native American who grew up in South Florida, right next to the Everglades. Over the years, I've had several paranormal experiences. One of the most striking happened in April 2021, when I had a clear, close encounter no more than 15 yards away with what I believe was a Sasquatch, or what locals call a Skunk Ape. I was out riding my four-wheeler in the woods at the time. After that, I had a few more unusual experiences in the same area with friends, though I'm not entirely sure if those were related to Bigfoot. I've also been involved in what I later realized was a demon summoning ceremony, during which I experienced some disturbing paranormal activity. More recently, at the beginning of December, a friend and I heard a distinct wood knock, followed by the sound of something moving toward us from the other side of the woods. And just today, while riding along the reservation line, I came across a set of three-toed tracks. These experiences have stayed with me, and I thought they might be of interest to you."

In the summer of 1975, the bodies of young women began surfacing in canals along the edge of the Florida Everglades. To make matters worse, investigators blamed the victims for their own deaths. Today, we will cover many things the Everglades have swallowed. From serial killers to a doomed jetliner pulled from the sky, to a creature with over 600 documented sightings. The deeper you go, the stranger it gets.
