Today we journey deep into the swamps of Florida to investigate the legend of the Skunk Ape, Bigfoot's smaller, stinkier, swamp-dwelling cousin. From centuries-old sightings and bizarre eyewitness encounters to cryptid hunter Dave Shealy's controversial "evidence," we'll dig into the history, folklore, and possible explanations behind one of America's strangest regional monsters. Is something really hairy and stinky (but not human) hiding in the Everglades?

On tonight's program: We deconstruct the results of this month's Florida Primary Election, including some fascinating figures; It may be early days, but some Florida Democrats say the primary results give them hope for big gains in November; U.S. Representative Byron Donalds, Florida's Republican nominee for governor, this week tapped Miami Senator Bryan Avila as his running mate; Despite a grand jury finding about ten million dollars of misplaced money, the DeSantis administration insists “there's nothing to see here”; The federal government cancels a school food program, but the country's top public health official insists the program that replaces it is much better; Sometimes, when it comes to holding off the rising seas, we can learn a lot from the way nature does it; And ironically, falling water levels in the Everglades also pose a threat to coastal areas as the River of Grass provides a natural buffer.

Evil Dead: Burn (2026)Director: Sebastián Vaneček Starring: Suheyla Yacoub, Tandy Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciane BuchananThe Deadites are back, and this time they brought a body count and a grudge. This week on the Dewey Pod Monster podcast, we tear into Evil Dead: Burn, the newest entry in the long-running franchise, and figure out whether it earns the name on the poster or just borrows it. Expect strong opinions, a franchise history lesson, and at least one hot dog-based rating system.In this episode, we discuss:Does It Even Deserve the Name? — We dig into whether slapping "Evil Dead" on a movie automatically raises (or wrecks) expectations, and whether this one actually earns the title.Practical vs. Digital Gore — A full-throated rant on the franchise's practical effects legacy and where this entry falls short — or leans too hard on CG in its climax.Characters We Actually Care About (or Don't) — We break down the cast, the family drama at the center of the story, and why some of us just couldn't connect with anyone on screen.The Rules of an Evil Dead Movie — A deep dive into franchise logic, lore-bending choices, and the moments that made us go "how the hell did that happen?"We Also Talked About:Burden of Dreams (Ok.Ru) — Werner Herzog's legendary making-of documentary, discussed as an all-time favorite deep in the show's opening segment.Dark Side of the Ring: Ultimate Fantasy: The Fall of Renegade (DailyMotion) — The wrestling documentary episode covering Rick "The Renegade" Wilson's tragic story, brought up during our wrestling tangent.Python Hunt (Amazon) — A Florida-set documentary about amateur hunters tracking invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades, discussed as unintentionally hilarious "watch for the bumpkins" viewing.Killer Thong (Tubi) — A gloriously dumb low-budget horror movie about a reanimated killer thong, discussed purely for its "so bad it's good" charm.Jackass: Best & Last (Amazon) — The crew's latest (and possibly final) entry, discussed as low-budget, dumb, and exactly the kind of chaos we love.Some of the above links are affiliate links — if you purchase through them we get a small kickback, and it's the best way to support the show.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week.

Richard Lamondin and his brother started their company 13 years ago after reading that a fifth of all toilets leak, learning to replace them from YouTube videos, and going door to door at apartment communities. That business became ecofi, a national firm that cuts energy and water use in buildings. On this episode of Climate Change Environment Science & the Law, he tells host Gregg Goldfarb why that work led him to run for the Florida Senate in District 38. The through line is affordability. Richard lays out what he sees as the squeeze on Miami families, from preschool costs to rents to a property insurance market he says has become unaffordable, and argues that Florida's problem is one of priorities rather than funding. He also explains what a legislative supermajority is, why he says most of the decisions that touch daily life come from Tallahassee rather than Washington, and what breaking that math would change at the committee level. Gregg, an environmental lawyer, brings his own history to the table, including an early case in the Keys built on the argument that in South Florida the environment is the economy. From there the two get into coastal resilience: storm surge, living sea walls, mangroves, fish stocks, fertilizer runoff and algae blooms, and saltwater intrusion into the aquifer. Richard's case is that decades of inaction on coastal risk are a direct upstream cause of today's insurance bills. They also cover why South Florida has so little rooftop solar despite the climate, the Everglades restoration work Richard says has stalled, and what his first 100 days and first three bills would look like.   Join Gregg and Richard Lamondin on Climate Change Environment Science & the Law as they explore: TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 – "Can people actually make it here?"

Wanderlust is embedded into the human DNA. It is as much a part of us as thirst or hunger, and just as powerful a motivator. Humanity did not cross the Bering Strait because Asia ran out of space, we crossed because it was there. We spread across the world like a global pandemic, and now that we have airplanes, that pandemic has become airborne. Travelers traverse everywhere, and thus citizens of foreign lands need a place to put all these explorers. Just like airports have customs lines, and the Everglades has Alligator Alcatraz, popular cities have Tourist Traps. Some random, worthless artifact is given Can’t-Miss status and these groups flock to line-up and self-contain. But if your goal is to explore a new city, why waste time taking a selfie at the most photographed places in the world? Blend in with Mat and Veronique as we seek out new life and new civilizations by boldly going where everyone else already lined up for Tourist Stuff! *Grumbles are specifically off-the-cuff, no research went into this grumble. _____________________________________ Support the show and become a Grumble Kid!

In place of our regular Hudson Mohawk Magazine programing, today we share this episode of The Aunties Dandelion podcast called “Auntie Betty Osceola, Miccosukee, Panther Clan." Betty Osceola (Miccosukee, Panther Clan) grounds us in the spectacular land and life of the Everglades in this visit with host Kahstoserakwathe. She explains how the region's natural filtration system protects fresh water for millions, carries cultural memory for the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, and sustains plant, animal, and water relatives. Betty is well known for her prayer walks that became especially urgent when the cruelty of the “Alligator Alcatraz” outdoor immigrant detention camp surfaced last summer on traditional homelands in South Florida, and her research is instrumental in ongoing lawsuits around the facility. She says our struggle for equitable treatment cannot be separated from the health and well-being of the natural world. Betty spent decades living what environmental justice looks like from an Indigenous perspective: caring for water as kin, community mobilization as a responsibility, and finding joy in walking, guiding, laughing, and listening. She asks us to consider how we reconnect to our own sources of care and to show up when the land says it needs us. This conversation is a clear invitation to walk our lands and raise our voices to protect the natural world and the humanity of our hearts. Stay to the end for her cute stories about mama ‘gators and their babies.

On December 29, 1972, Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 silently descended into the Florida Everglades while three experienced pilots were distracted by a single burnt-out lightbulb. In this episode of The Horrors Of, we uncover the full timeline of the Flight 401 disaster—from the famous 9 minutes of crew distraction, to the legendary airboat rescue led by Bud Marquis, and the unsettling ghost sightings that followed on other Lockheed L-1011 jets.Then, I cover the dark history of the Florida Everglades with the wild story of the Ashley Gang. Led by John Ashley and Laura Upthegrove ("The King and Queen of the Everglades"), this family of Florida outlaws spent 13 years terrorizing law enforcement, robbing banks, bootlegging moonshine, and evading capture in the sawgrass of the Everglades until a deadly midnight ambush on a river bridge changed everything.If you enjoy bizarre historical events, dark true crime, and mysterious disasters told in a story format, click FOLLOW.

Researching apex predators often means putting yourself in situations that are mind-boggling to the average person. Our guest, Rosie Moore, is no stranger to this. She's found herself lost at sea researching bull sharks, waist deep the Everglades trying to find Burmese pythons, and in shark-infested waters right after an attack. This episode, she talks to host Dr. Samantha Yammine about her research. They discuss Rosie's experience on Shark Week, how to use forensics to analyze a shark attack, and the role of citizen science in understanding sharks. Before that, Sam looks into a new study that alleges cats are more selfish than dogs (and people). And later, there's evidence in a study that reveals how to keep mosquitoes from sticking around once summer ends.

Welcome back to another episode of the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States Podcast! In this episode, Mark Tieszen discusses sailing to the Dry Tortugas, Flotilla Safety, and Cruising Lessons Learned,You might remember Mark from his gripping appearance in Episodes 79 and 80, where he detailed the intense experience of running his 45-foot sailboat aground and washing up on a beach at night. Thankfully, this conversation centers on a much happier adventure—his successful blue water passage from the west coast of Florida to the breathtaking Dry Tortugas.Getting to this remote national park is no small feat. For Mark, this journey was a masterclass in patience and persistence, as it marked his fifth attempt over a ten-year period to successfully make the crossing. He opens up about his previous four attempts and the critical decision-making processes that led him to turn back when conditions weren't right. Mark breaks down the specific challenges of those past trips, including severe weather shifts, a sailing partner's sudden accident, and the unexpected government lockdowns of COVID-19 in Key West. He also breaks down the factors behind turning around during a fourth attempt with a Florida boating club flotilla, when high easterly winds promised a dangerously uncomfortable anchorage.This episode highlights the immense benefits and safety of sailing in a organized group or flotilla, utilizing a "hop-on, hop-off" itinerary managed by a cruise captain. Mark outlines their multi-day route skipping down the Florida coast to the Everglades, Marathon, and Key West, before finally conquering the final blue water stretch. Beyond the navigation logistics, you will get a fantastic history lesson on the Dry Tortugas and its surrounding strategic areas.Visual Episode Alert: Mark put together custom navigation charts, route diagrams, and gorgeous photos to document this successful trip.

This is part 2 of our 3-part series about elements. Last time we met nitrogen, today, it's partner in crime and in life – phosphorus.WLRN Environment Editor Jenny Staletovich has gotten to know the main character of this story pretty well after reporting on the environment in South Florida for more than a dozen years. Bone Valley in Central Florida has quietly fed the world's hunger for phosphorus, even as its waters, in particular the Everglades, suffer from the fallout.In this episode, you'll meet fishing captains turned environmental crusaders, hear about Guano Wars fought over this "Devil's Element," and learn how some are figuring out how to fix our phosphorus paradox.---WLRN Environment Editor Jenny Staletovich reported this story.

RECALL: Act Three By the time RECALL reaches Act Three, Miami Military Academy is no longer pretending it can survive. The school is still marching, still saluting, still shining brass and barking orders into the Florida heat, but the center is gone. Colonel Barnes is dying. Commander Patterson knows it. Sally knows it. And the boys, even when they are laughing too hard to say it out loud, can feel the whole place slipping into history. Written by Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison, and once optioned and held by the great Carroll O’Connor with eyes on a Pacino lead,, RECALL is a funny, savage, deeply human coming-of-age drama about abandoned boys, broken fathers, old soldiers, Cuban exiles, secret weapons, and the terrible bargain countries make when they ask the young to carry the sins of the old. Act Three begins with the last quiet hours before everything breaks. Lishinsky and Sally steal a small piece of freedom on the water, drifting toward Captain Kidd’s Island, talking about California, escape, fathers, graves, and the strange fantasy that two damaged kids might simply sail away from all of it. But nobody really gets away from Miami Military Academy. Not yet. Inside Barnes’ house, Patterson sits beside a dying friend and is handed the thing no soldier wants: responsibility without rescue. Barnes tells him the Army is calling in its chips. The school, the land, the boys, the munitions, the whole dream is coming apart. Patterson rages because he knows what the place is, and what it has been. A broken institution, yes. A madhouse, absolutely. But also the only home some of these boys have ever had. Then the machinery starts moving. The Army arrives. The Cuban officials arrive. The inspection becomes theater. A live round falls where it should not. The old bunkers by the bay are suddenly more important than the boys standing in formation. The parade takes them through Miami and into the Dade County Fair, where the whole strange, glorious organism of “A” Company explodes into one last carnival of cigars, sheep, majorettes, busted noses, bad decisions, and Patterson turning, for one mad instant, into the hero the boys still need him to be. But the comedy cannot hold the line forever. Colonel Barnes is gone. The flag drops to half-mast. The Razor Fiend is finally revealed. Lindquist, the feral boy from the mango trees, becomes a cadet, a savior, and maybe the strangest proof that the academy was never only a school. It was a place that took in the lost and gave them a uniform because it had no better language for love. Slouch and Bebop reach the end of pretending. Bebop is called home by a country that no longer exists the way he remembers it. Slouch follows because friendship, for him, is the only oath that ever meant anything. The Cuban exiles come in the night. Patterson tries to stop them. History steps over him. Sally leaves for California. Lishinsky stays behind with the ache of first love and the knowledge that some people are not meant to be held. Patterson sits with his ghosts. The boys graduate into a world already waiting to use them. And somewhere beyond the academy walls, the Bay of Pigs turns courage, loyalty, and bad American promises into blood in the surf. RECALL is about boyhood at the edge of the American century, when duty still sounded clean from a podium and war still knew how to dress itself up as honor. It is about boys who wanted fathers, fathers who failed them, soldiers who could not save themselves, and a country that keeps asking the young to pay for the old men’s maps.

There's Resurrection Mary, the ghostly hitchhiker still searching for a dance partner outside Chicago. There's the Villisca ax murders, an unsolved 1912 slaughter that turned a family home into a haunted museum. There's Mothman over Point Pleasant, the skunk ape in the Everglades, the Jersey Devil in the Pine Barrens, and Bigfoot stalking the forests of the Pacific Northwest.Cryptids and creepy clowns. Cursed roads and phantom trains. Witches, wendigos, and vampires. Alien crash sites and portals to hell. You'll meet the "watcher" who terrorized a New Jersey family through the mail, the Bunny Man of Virginia, Walking Sam on the Pine Ridge Reservation, and the Candy Lady of rural Texas. Whether these stories were born around a campfire or dragged out of something that really happened, they've survived because nobody can quite prove they're not true.So bolt your doors, lock your windows, and find out what's whispered about in your own backyard — because every state in the Union has its own creepy collection of urban legends, and some of them might be closer than you think.

Jamison welcomes Dr. Matthew Mehan back to the podcast to discusses his landmark work, The American Book of Fables, an illustrated heirloom collection released to commemorate America's 250th anniversary,. Dr. Mehan explores his mission to "restore the American imagination" by restocking the cultural pantry with moral images that foster virtue and wisdom in a free people. Organized into thirteen chapters representing distinct American regions—from the Everglades to the Great Lakes—the book weaves together nursery rhymes, fables, and primary sources that explain and elaborate on the core principles of the Declaration of Independence.The conversation highlights how these stories, featuring American wildlife such as bison and beavers instead of traditional Aesopic lions, serve as "moral puzzles" designed to shape the hearts and minds of "littles, middles, and bigs." Dr. Mehan emphasizes that civic rebuilding is a multi-generational endeavor rooted in patriotism, gratitude, and the cultivation of "gentle manliness and womanliness." Listeners will gain insight into the intensive research and artistic collaboration required to produce the book's stunning oil paintings and watercolors,. Ultimately, this episode showcases how fables offer a profound avenue for training witty, wise citizens prepared for a life of service.

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. Starring Alan Rosenberg, Carson Bolde, Stone Garcia, Wesley Kimmel, Dan Lauria, Kensington Tallman, Roxton Garcia, Bruce Davison, Luca Diaz, Amari O’Neil, Amir O’Neil, David Errigo Jr., Zeke Alton, Gian Franco Rodriguez, Miki Yamashita, Nemil Mudvari, Sofia D’Marco, and Ashley Ciarra.

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.

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.
