Three airmen were ordered to guard the Triangle at Keesler Air Force Base, Biloxi, Mississippi in 1980. What they saw, shook them enough to make a pact. For decades they stayed silent, fearing ridicule and damage to their careers. Until now. This is the true testimony from Kris Maddalena's The 13th Squadron.For the first time, Kris tells what happened inside the supposedly empty dormitories: the wardrobe painted black inside and carved with an inverted pentagram, the 1 AM scream that returned like clockwork, chanting from inside the walls, the mysterious fire breakout at a heavy metal concert on base, and the pale figure with a butcher knife that stood beside his bed. Locals have long whispered about everything from Satanic activity to UAP sightings along the Gulf Coast (the The Pascagoula alien abduction happened nearby, and the experiencers were examing on this very base). Yet what happened in the Triangle to these three Airmen is a frightening yet untold mystery. A huge thank-you to Kris Maddalena for trusting us with his story, sharing his memories (including having President Donald Trump as his landlord at Trump Towers, New York) and photographs, and also for being so generous with his time while we put this episode together.

Monday-Friday, 3 pm-6 pm MT. https://RushToReason.com HOUR 1 Shocking Teen Takeovers, Masculinity Debates, and the Disappearing Consequences Crisis When discipline vanishes, and social media fuels chaos, the result is pure mayhem. John Rush dives into the jaw-dropping Aurora teen takeover—hundreds assembled after a viral post—and questions: Is respect for parents, authority, and responsibility vanishing before our eyes? Then Joël Malm, teaching pastor and Summit Leaders founder, joins John for a raw discussion on the Tate brothers, modern masculinity, and the dangerous lure of instant wealth. Are we trading real purpose for get-rich-quick illusions? Next: a heated anti-ICE student walkout rocks Colorado. Will students and teachers face real consequences? John ties this protest to the big questions: public education, vanishing enrollment, funding battles, and the future of Colorado politics. Don't miss the hour that asks—what's left when accountability disappears? Timestamps 29:04 — Joël Malm — https://summitleaders.com/ HOUR 2 Are We Punishing Success? Power, Ice Cream Scandals, and Dangerous New Trends What happens when political power crushes the people? John Rush and Mark Mix from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation expose the explosive conflict between union bosses and everyday workers—compulsory dues, runaway spending, and collapsing school enrollment. The disconnect has never been greater. An unbelievable twist: a Pennsylvania fair vendor nearly shut down for being too successful—selling too much ice cream! John unpacks what's fueling our urge to punish achievement instead of celebrating it. Dr. Andrew Fox then joins John for a fiery debate: WNBA controversies, transgender athletes, and the battle for free expression. Plus, John spotlights two wild TikTok trends: a menacing Cat in the Hat meme causing school panic, and “pheromone maxing”—the jaw-dropping dating fad where men skip showers before big nights out.

Nazareth's journey from Hollywood to hope is too good to miss. Next, John unpacks Meta's billion-dollar settlement over Facebook and Instagram's alleged role in fueling social media addiction among kids. Where does Big Tech's responsibility end—and where does parenting begin? The hour doesn't stop there: a viral trivia clip exposes surprising gaps in what young adults know, but a wise 17-year-old's call brings hope for the next generation. Finally: the big family mystery—what happens to all our stuff? Silver, china, art, and heirlooms—do your kids really want it, or are you setting them up for tough choices? John urges families to rethink legacies before it's too late. Timestamps 1:08 — Comedian Nazareth — https://comedianNazareth.com/

Who are the Kennedys, really? And what has made the legacy of America's political dynasty so famous, divisive and enduring? The Kennedys are often described as the closest thing the United States has to a royal family, with fiercely competitive and divisive figures taking up space in American political and public life for generations.Even now, the influence of the Kennedy family continues to persist with RFK Junior, who is serving as the U.S. secretary of health and human services.There have been Kennedys who thrived with fame and power, and those who struggled greatly with that burden, with tragic consequences.The sunniest images of this famous family come from when they gathered at their rambling seaside compound in Cape Cod in the summers.One particular summer, in 1944, changed everything for the Kennedy clan, according to historian Leigh Straw, who is an internationally recognised expert on the Kennedy family and their legacy.It was the final year of World War Two—Jack, the future president, had become a war hero but his health was ailing; his brothers Bobby and Teddy were there, but their eldest brother Joe Junior was in England, preparing to embark on his final wartime mission. Their sister Rosemary was out of the picture altogether, hidden away from public and never spoken of.This was the year, Leigh says, when personal tragedies and public heroics began to shape the Kennedy legacy.The Kennedys at Cape Cod, 1944: The Summer That Changed Everything is published by Bloomsbury.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggiei Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores American politics, the United States, family dynasties, Trump, federal elections, JFK, John F Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, RFK Jr, Covid, Rosemary Kennedy, Robert F.

només quedaven pocs treballadors.En: He waited until nightfall when he knew there would be only a few workers left.Ca: El silenci del bosc el cobria com una manta.En: The silence of the forest covered him like a blanket.Ca: Va obrir la porta, guardant un petit dispositiu que Oriol li havia prestat per desactivar els sensors.En: He opened the door, using a small device that Oriol had lent him to disable the sensors.Ca: Dins del laboratori, les parets brillaven amb llums blaves i màquines desconegudes.En: Inside the laboratory, the walls glowed with blue lights and unknown machines.Ca: Els seus passos eren suaus, evitant qualsevol soroll.En: His steps were soft, avoiding any noise.Ca: En un moment crucial, Marcel va veure una càmera de seguretat girant lentament.En: At a crucial moment, Marcel saw a security camera slowly rotating.Ca: Va respirar profundament.En: He took a deep breath.Ca: Amb paciència, es va apropar i va col·locar un petit blocador al seu lateral.En: With patience,

joia de la família.En: In one of them, in plain sight, was the family's jewel.Ca: Una llàgrima brillava als seus ulls.En: A tear gleamed in his eyes.Ca: El cor li bategava a mil.En: His heart was pounding.Ca: Va utilitzar una altra eina d'Oriol per obrir la caixa, sense activar cap alarma.En: He used another tool from Oriol to open the box without triggering any alarms.Ca: La joia era seva, al palmell de la mà.En: The jewel was his, in the palm of his hand.Ca: Sortir va ser menys complicat, però Marcel va mantenir la calma.En: Getting out was less complicated, but Marcel remained calm.Ca: Va recórrer el camí de tornada, i amb un últim cop d'ull al laboratori, va sortir cap al bosc profund.En: He retraced his steps, and with one last glance at the laboratory, headed into the deep forest.Ca: Pel camí, mentre tornava a casa, sentia una barreja d'alegria i alleujament.En: Along the way, as he returned home, he felt a mix of joy and relief.Ca: Havia aconseguit salvar la seva família i havia après una cosa vital: treballar amb confiança amb els altres pot obrir portes abans impensades.En: He had managed to save his family and learned something vital: working with trust in others can open doors previously unimagined.Ca: Quan el sol començava a sortir darrere de la ciutat de Barcelona, Marcel sabia que aquesta experiència l'havia canviat per sempre.En: As the sun began to rise behind the city of Barcelona, Marcel knew that this experience had changed him forever.

At 66, Pat Hicks answered a phone call and found out that his father was not his father. Pat is the author of My Name Is a Lie and Other Truths, and our conversation gets into what rebuilding your identity after a family secret asks of you when the foundation was poured before you could remember any of it. What Pat found in the poems his mother chose not to burn The reason his brother suspected the truth for decades and never said a word Why Pat points to erasure, rather than the lie itself, as the real wound The truth changed every answer he had ever given about himself, and he will tell you it still ends somewhere good. Check out the full episode page: https://thelituplife.com/post/discovering-a-family-secret-at-66 Meet Pat Hicks Pat is the author of My Name Is a Lie and Other Truths, a memoir that begins with a late life revelation and opens into something far more universal. After discovering in his 60s that the story of his origins was not what he had been told, he had to reconstruct both the truth and himself. His writing sits with what we inherit emotionally, what it means to be seen, and why our imperfections are the making of a human being rather than a flaw.

Sterling Point is giving us everything we've been missing from a classic teen drama—and this week, we're diving into all of it. From the creators behind some of our favorite teen TV, the Prime Video series brings the family secrets, love triangles, shocking reveals and emotional cliffhangers, while somehow making even its soapiest twists feel incredibly human.I'm breaking down the entire first season, including Annie's unexpected summer at Sterling Point, her growing connection with Ellis, Ramona and Oona's complicated relationship, and the family mystery that completely turns Annie, Connor and Ramona's lives upside down. Plus, we count down the Top 5 Classic Teen Drama Soapy Moments Turned Sincere, from secret letters and messy love lives to that absolutely wild reveal about Ramona's biological father.We also get into why Sterling Point feels like a true return to the teen dramas of the Dawson's Creek, The O.C. and Gossip Girl era, why its characters and dialogue feel so refreshingly real, the season finale's biggest unanswered questions, and why we desperately need Season 2. And yes, we have to talk about that Ellis move.Major Sterling Point Season 1 spoilers ahead!00:00 Intro to pod02:07 Behind the scenes - Megan Park04:04 Dialogue and characters06:42 Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage08:47 Recap of season 112:05 Top 5 Soapy Turned Sincere12:20 Letters15:25 Love Triangle22:13 Punches thrown27:06 Goldie28:33 Joe32:05 Steven37:07 Ending42:50 Season 2Thank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our new theme song.

What if a story buried in your family for more than a century suddenly asked you to tell it? Brigid Kennedy's story begins with a real Irish treasure hunter, her great-grandfather Robert Patrick Kennedy, who crossed the Atlantic, married Eudocia Rodrigues in Arequipa, Peru, in 1910—and then disappeared into the Amazon.The story survived in fragments until one night, when Brigid's grandmother appeared to her in a dream and asked her to write the family story.Brigid had never written a novel. She said yes.The result is LOST — The Lost City of Incan Gold, a historical fantasy rooted in her Irish and Incan heritage.In this remarkable conversation, Michael and Brigid explore family mysteries, ancestral places, the power of heritage, and what happens when we travel across the world to reconnect with the people who came before us.From Ireland's Cliffs of Moher and Galway to the monastery in Peru where her great-grandparents married, this is a story about the past refusing to stay buried—and one woman's journey to bring it back to life.Sometimes the story isn't lost. It's waiting to be remembered.Takeaways:The story of Brigid Kennedy's great-grandfather, an Irish treasure hunter, is a profound tale that spans cultures and generations.Brigid's journey to write her family's history began with a dream from her grandmother, prompting her to uncover a long-buried legacy.The intertwining of Irish and Incan heritage in Brigid's novel serves as a testament to the power of ancestry and storytelling.Brigid's travels to Ireland and Peru allowed her to connect deeply with her roots, enriching her narrative with authenticity and emotion.The act of saying 'yes' to her grandmother's call led Brigid to rediscover her family's past and share it with the world through her writing.The conversation highlights the importance of reclaiming one's heritage and the stories that shape our identities across time and space.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

For nearly two decades, John Sabine was simply gone.His wife, Leigh, had spent years telling elaborate stories about their lives, convincing friends and family that John had left and started over somewhere else. She was a gifted storyteller whose lies became more outrageous with time, and few people questioned them. But when Leigh died of cancer in 2015, those stories began to unravel.After two friends made a horrifying discovery in the garden of the couple's former home in Beddau, Wales, investigators were confronted by a body wrapped in plastic. After 18 years the remains of John Sabine, had been found. As they worked to find out what happened, police revealed years of manipulation, compulsive deception, and the couple's infamous decision to abandon their five young children before John's disappearance. Today, we'll trace the lies that concealed a murder for nearly two decades, examine the evidence that finally exposed the truth behind one woman's carefully constructed fiction.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comAroesti, R.

Fluent Fiction - Dutch: Unlocking Van Dijk's Hidden Past: A Family's Journey to Truth Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2026-08-01-07-38-20-nl Story Transcript:Nl: De zon hing laag in de lucht terwijl het geluid van vogelgezang zich vermengde met het zachte geruis van bladeren in de wind.En: The sun hung low in the sky as the sound of birdsong mingled with the soft rustling of leaves in the wind.Nl: Het was een warme zomerdag in augustus, en de oude boerderij van de familie Van Dijk zat vol met familieleden die elkaar al lang niet hadden gezien.En: It was a warm summer day in August, and the old farm of the familie Van Dijk was filled with relatives who hadn't seen each other in a long time.Nl: Anouk stond op de veranda en keek naar het gebroken houten hek dat toegang gaf tot de overgroeide tuin.En: Anouk stood on the porch and looked at the broken wooden gate that led to the overgrown garden.Nl: Ze voelde zich niet op haar gemak.En: She felt uneasy.Nl: Binnen zat Bram met een glas limonade in zijn hand.En: Inside, Bram was sitting with a glass of lemonade in his hand.Nl: Hij was haar oom, altijd een beetje afstandelijk, en Anouk vroeg zich af wat hij verborg.En: He was her uncle, always a bit distant, and Anouk wondered what he was hiding.Nl: Lotte, haar tante, stond in de keuken en schilde aardappelen.En: Lotte, her aunt, was in the kitchen peeling potatoes.Nl: Ze glimlachte, maar haar ogen verraadden een geheim.En: She smiled, but her eyes betrayed a secret.Nl: "Misschien moet ik het gewoon vragen," dacht Anouk.En: "Maybe I should just ask," thought Anouk.Nl: Ze had altijd gehoord over het 'familiegeheim', een vaag verhaal dat haar nieuwsgierigheid had gewekt.En: She had always heard about the 'family secret,' a vague story that had piqued her curiosity.Nl: Vandaag was de dag om antwoorden te krijgen.En: Today was the day to get answers.Nl: Na de lunch trok Anouk haar stoute schoenen aan.En: After lunch, Anouk gathered her courage.Nl: Ze liep naar Bram.En: She walked to Bram.Nl: "Oom, waarom praat niemand over onze geschiedenis?En: "Uncle, why doesn't anyone talk about our history?Nl: Wat gebeurde er vroeger?"En: What happened in the past?"Nl: Ze zag zijn glimlach versmelten in een frons.En: She saw his smile melt into a frown.Nl: "Ach, Anouk, sommige dingen blijven beter onbesproken," zei Bram en nam een grote slok van zijn drank.En: "Oh, Anouk, some things are better left unsaid," said Bram, taking a large sip of his drink.Nl: Niet iedereen was daar echter mee eens.En: Not everyone agreed, though.Nl: Lotte legde haar mes neer en draaide zich naar Anouk toe.En: Lotte put down her knife and turned to Anouk.Nl: "Misschien moeten we het erover hebben, Bram," zei ze zachtjes maar beslist.En: "Maybe we should talk about it, Bram," she said softly but decisively.Nl: Anouk voelde de hitte stijgen, zowel van de zon als van de opwelling van moed binnenin.En: Anouk felt the heat rising, both from the sun and from the surge of courage within her.Nl: Ze besloot de zolder op te gaan, een plek waar ze als kind altijd had willen rondneuzen.En: She decided to go up to the attic, a place she had always wanted to explore as a child.Nl: De oude trap kraakte onder haar gewicht.En: The old stairs creaked under her weight.Nl: Tussen stof en spinnenwebben vond ze een oude kist.En: Amidst dust and cobwebs, she found an old chest.Nl: Met trillende handen opende ze het deksel en zag een vergeeld briefje.En: With trembling hands, she opened the lid and saw a yellowed note.Nl: Het was een brief, geschreven door iemand met handschrift dat ze niet herkende.En: It was a letter, written by someone with handwriting she did not recognize.Nl: Anouk las wat de brief onthulde: een verloren familielid, een geheim dat nooit gedeeld was.En: Anouk read what the letter revealed: a lost family member, a secret that was never shared.Nl: Met de brief in haar hand keerde ze terug naar de woonkamer waar de familie verzameld was.En: With the letter in her hand, she returned to the living room where the family was gathered.Nl: "Kijk wat ik heb gevonden," zei ze, en gaf de brief aan Lotte.En: "Look what I've found," she said, handing the letter to Lotte.Nl: De kamer vulde zich met een ongemakkelijke stilte.En: The room filled with an uncomfortable silence.Nl: Maar langzaam begonnen er gesprekken.En: But slowly, conversations began.Nl: Oude verhalen kwamen naar boven, schaduwen van de geschiedenis kregen kleur.En: Old stories surfaced, shadows of history gained color.Nl: Hoewel er spanning ontstond, bracht de ontdekking ook verlichting.En: Although tension arose, the discovery also brought relief.Nl: De familie Van Dijk had eindelijk het geheim ontrafeld, en dat maakte ruimte voor verzoening.En: The familie Van Dijk had finally unraveled the secret, and that made room for reconciliation.Nl: Anouk voelde zich eindelijk op haar plek.En: Anouk finally felt at home.Nl: Ze begreep haar familie beter en met deze nieuwe kennis voelde ze een sterker gevoel van verbondenheid.En: She understood her family better, and with this new knowledge, she felt a stronger sense of connection.Nl: Terwijl de zon langzaam onderging, keek Anouk rond en zag gezichten die opgelicht werden door inzichten en hoop.En: As the sun slowly set, Anouk looked around and saw faces illuminated by insights and hope.Nl: De zomeravond viel zacht over de boerderij, de gesprekken gingen door tot het donker werd.En: The summer evening fell gently over the farm, conversations continued until it grew dark.Nl: En in dat moment wist Anouk dat ze haar doel had bereikt.En: And in that moment, Anouk knew she had achieved her goal.

Family history is often where the heroic version of the past falls apart.We like to imagine our ancestors standing on the right side of history. Someone in the GPO in 1916 or in the IRA in 1920. We like to think they made brave choice when it mattered. But most people were not heroes, revolutionaries or figures from the history books. They were ordinary people trying to survive events they could not control.That is what makes family secrets so revealing. They show us how people actually lived through history, without knowing how things would turn out. They hedged their bets, backed the side they thought would win, followed the crowd, made compromises and sometimes buried the truth when it all looked very different in hindsight.In this episode, I look at the murkier side of family history through my own ancestors. Across five generations, the stories include a shotgun marriage, someone being sent to prison during the Great Famine for stealing food, support for the local landlord and opposition to Irish independence, followed by a very convenient change of heart when independence became unavoidable.These are not exactly stories that have aged well, but they are probably far more common than we like to admit. From the Great Famine to the Irish Revolution and beyond, this episode is about the awkward, uncomfortable and often hidden ways ordinary people lived through extraordinary times.Sound: Kate Dunlea Hosted on Acast.
