For the past several decades, writer and editor Lavinia Spalding has championed women's travel writing. She's helmed seven editions of the Best Women's Travel Writing—the celebrated Traveler's Tales anthology—including the latest, released on June 9th. Over the years, she's read hundreds of submissions a year from women around the world and distilled them into one essential collection. So host Aislyn Greene sits down with Lavinia to talk about what two decades of editing these stories has taught her about how women explore the world, and why amplifying those voices matters more than ever right now. THIS WEEK'S GUEST Lavinia Spalding is the author of Writing Away: A Creative Guide to Awakening the Journal-Keeping Traveler , seven-time series editor of The Best Women's Travel Writing, and co-author of With a Measure of Grace, This Immeasurable Place, and two editions of the Frommer's EasyGuide to New Orleans. She has been teaching for more than 30 years and leads writing workshops online and around the world. She lives with her family in New Orleans. Watch her TEDx talk here, and subscribe to her Substack newsletter for updates and essays. IN THIS EPISODE How Lavinia shapes each volume of Best Women's Travel Writing like a playlist—balancing place, tone, voice, and the ratio of dark to light—and why this year's theme might be best described as "flashes of insight that arise from connection" The essay that has never left her: Sandra Gail Lambert's pre-dawn solo kayak trip through the Florida Everglades, written from a wheelchair, with stakes so high that every preparation detail becomes profound What two decades of reading women's travel writing has taught Lavinia: never underestimate a woman, and women who write about travel tend to be actively seeking transformation, not just sights How the legacy of male-dominated adventure travel writing—conquest narratives, man-versus-place drama—may have conditioned women to fear solo travel, and what it looks like as that changes Why a women's travel writing anthology still matters in 2026: to amplify voices of autonomy and adventure at a moment when women's rights and freedom of movement are under pressure CHAPTERS 00:00:00 Young, Fearless, and Filled With Wonder 00:03:00 How a Volume Comes Together 00:07:00 The Traveler She Was, the Traveler She Is 00:10:00 Building the Playlist 00:14:00 The Stories That Live Inside Her 00:19:00 Never Underestimate a Woman 00:23:00 Who Gets to Be an Adventurer 00:28:00 Why It Matters Now LINKS & RESOURCES Best Women's Travel Writing, Volume 13—Bookshop.org Traveler's Tales Lavinia'swebsite Lavinia'sWriting Away Substack Lavinia's essay for Afar and Aislyn's essay for Afar West With the Night by Beryl Markham Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

In the aftermath of Eastern Air Lines Flight 401's fatal 1972 crash in the Florida Everglades, crew members on other L-1011 jets began reporting eerie encounters with the ghosts of Captain Bob Loft and Flight Engineer Don Repo—figures tied to salvaged parts from the wrecked aircraft. These calm, uniformed apparitions appeared in cockpits, galleys, and first-class seats, often delivering precise warnings about mechanical issues that later proved accurate. Drawn from eyewitness accounts collected in the 1970s, this well-known aviation mystery raises haunting questions about duty, memory, and what lingers beyond the final flight.

In this episode: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis confirmed this week that the state is closing “Alligator Alcatraz” after one year — but not before paying out millions in “demobilization fees” to vendors who have already banked hundreds of millions building and operating the infamous immigrant detention facility in the Florida Everglades. Plus: A closer look at some recent favors Florida's governor and Legislature have done for a few billionaire megadonors — including a car dealer, an insurance magnate, and a luxury hotel owner.

From the Texas Killing Fields and Gilgo Beach to a corpse left decomposing in a hotel water tank and three infants found frozen in a family freezer, these are the notorious dump sites where killers hide their victims — and the strangest places human remains have ever turned up.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/BodyDumpSitesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckm2tkwFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Where are bodies dumped most often? What are some of the strangest places bodies have been found, and what odd situations ended up in death? We'll look at some weird stories of dead bodies being found. (Strange Dumping Grounds) *** A man is found dead – obviously murdered. But even after a positive identification, some believed the body was not of the man authorities thought it was – and an even larger mystery was, whose monogrammed handkerchief was stuffed in the corpse's mouth? (The Ruttinger Mystery) *** In Florida, there is a short stretch of freeway that is so full of incidents of danger, death, and the paranormal, that many consider it cursed – and most definitely haunted. Locals have deemed it, the Dead Zone.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December 06, 2021Weird Darkness maps the ground where the dead are hidden, traveling from America's most notorious body-dumping fields to a cursed quarter-mile of Florida interstate and a strangled German lace salesman pulled from the Staten Island mud in 1891.It opens with the dump sites scattered across the United States, where unidentified victims are still pulled from soil and water decades after they were left. In the New York Central Pine Barrens of Long Island, as many as eleven bodies have surfaced, four of them between 2000 and 2003 and two decapitated, in killings attributed to the Butcher of Manorville. Lake Tahoe keeps its secrets through physics rather than concealment, its thousand-foot depths holding a near-constant 39 degrees that stops bodies—rumored to date to Mafia disposals in the 1950s—from decomposing enough to float. Sugar planter Edgar Watson terrorized the Florida Everglades in the early 1900s, allegedly killing laborers each harvest to dodge their wages, and in 2016 two alligators were found feeding on a corpse in the same swamp. Leakin Park in Baltimore has given up roughly 70 bodies since 1946, while the Texas Killing Fields along I-45 between Houston and Galveston have yielded 30 since 13-year-old Colette Wilson vanished in 1971—among them Krystal Jean Baker, whose 1986 murder was tied to Kevin Edison Smith by DNA in 2012. Over 100 bodies have come out of the Mojave Desert, sending photographer William Bradford and William Floyd Zamastil to prison, and the still-unidentified Gilgo Beach killer dumped as many as 17 victims along Ocean Parkway, three of them strangled, bagged in burlap, and linked to the Long Island Serial Killer. Pelham Bay Park concealed at least 65 bodies between 1986 and 1995, the East River surrendered 26 in the spring of 2010 alone, and Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, confessed to ending at least 49 women's lives.From there the episode turns to bodies found where no one thinks to look. Canadian student Elisa Lam decomposed for as long as 19 days inside a rooftop water cistern at Downtown Los Angeles's Cecil Hotel while guests drank and bathed from the same supply and complained the water tasted off. In Xi'an, China, a woman starved to death trapped in an elevator over the Chinese New Year, her hands mangled from a month of clawing at the doors after workers skipped a required inspection. Elmer McCurdy, killed by police in 1911 after robbing a train of $46 and two jugs of whiskey, was embalmed with arsenic and toured carnivals as a sideshow attraction until a film crew for The Six Million Dollar Man snapped his arm off at a Long Beach amusement park in 1976 and found bone beneath the wax; he was finally buried in Guthrie, Oklahoma, in 1977. A Disneyland Paris worker was electrocuted behind the scenes of the Phantom Manor ride in 2016, a German mother kept three of her infants in freezer wrapping for some 30 years until her grown children uncovered them while digging for frozen pizza, and Joshua Maddox, missing since 2008, was discovered seven years later wedged in the chimney of his parents' Colorado cabin with no sign of injury.Next comes a quarter-mile of Interstate 4 near Lake Monroe, Florida, that locals call the Dead Zone. The asphalt covers four unmarked graves of Dutch immigrants who died in the Yellow Fever epidemic that erased the 1870s settlement of St. Joseph's, graves that landowner Albert Hawkins fenced and protected after stumbling on them in 1905, and which earned a reputation for lightning strikes, house fires, and a fatal hit-and-run befalling anyone who disturbed them. The state promised to relocate the remains before construction but paved over them, and as work began in 1960 Hurricane Donna changed course to follow the road's path; the highway opened in 1963 with a deadly truck crash at that exact spot. Somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 accidents have clustered along the short stretch since, Hurricane Charley retraced Donna's route over it in 2004, and drivers report their radios filling with growls, children's laughter, and disembodied voices in a place with no nearby transmitters.The episode closes with the 1891 murder of Karl Emanuel Ruttinger, a German lace salesman from Dresden whose body watchman Samuel Mortin found half-floating in the mud below Tottenville, Staten Island, his arms bound behind his back and a linen handkerchief monogrammed "W.W." rammed down his throat with a stick. Suspicion fell on his brother-in-law, William Wright, who had sailed with him from Liverpool and shared his boarding-house room, yet Wright stood only five-foot-four at 120 pounds, far too slight to overpower a six-foot, 200-pound man alone. The trail twisted through a throat-cutting suicide at the Astor House by a man calling himself Fred Evans, a string of conflicting witness identifications, and the discovery that Ruttinger's life had been insured for more than $20,000 just a month before the voyage—raising the possibility that the corpse was not Ruttinger at all. A Tottenville inquest ruled that it was indeed Ruttinger, suffocated by persons unknown, and in 1892 the Equitable Life Assurance Society paid his mother Therese roughly $22,000, conceding privately that settling was cheaper than proving the fraud they suspected.

Hour 3 opens with a conversation about the Florida Everglades, Joe's experiences growing up around rattlesnakes, and the surprisingly real concept of guided python hunting tours—complete with jokes about what it would be like if they actually went on one (and the no-alcohol rule that comes with it). The hour then shifts into NBA and Heat conversation as Miami Heat writer Ira Winderman joins the show to break down the Knicks' wild Game 4 comeback over the Spurs and how the modern three-point era has made no lead safe in today's NBA. The discussion turns to the latest Giannis Antetokounmpo trade buzz, including Boston's potential involvement with Jaylen Brown as a possible centerpiece, as well as which Western Conference teams could make a run at him in a potential short-term “Kawhi-to-Toronto” type scenario. Ira explains why Miami still makes sense as a landing spot and how the Heat would need to seriously reshape the roster around Giannis and Bam Adebayo after consecutive underwhelming seasons, while also weighing in on what the team should do with the No. 13 pick and why trading it for future assets might be the smartest move. The hour wraps with broader sports chatter, including Texas Tech's ongoing controversy, Florida's massive stadium renovation project and the future of the Gators, and some NBA speculation around team chemistry issues in Boston.

Brian and Glennis are back, this time remote (Glennis is sick, not with hantavirus or Ebola, thanks for asking). And the corruption story of the season just dropped. Trump sued the IRS for $10 billion claiming emotional damages over a leaked piece of his 2019 tax return. A federal judge called it bullshit, brought in legal experts who agreed it was bullshit, then settled by creating a $1.7 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" controlled by five allies of AG Todd Blanche, with no transparency requirements and the explicit purpose of paying out January 6 defendants. Glennis just paid her taxes. Brian explains why this is the most brazen self-dealing in modern American politics.This week, Brian Derrick (Political Strategist and Founder of Oath) and Glennis Meagher (Political and New Media Strategist and Co-founder of Generator Collective) walk through the slush fund, what it means that taxpayer money is about to flow to people who assaulted police officers at the Capitol, and why Brian thinks the Trump children and several cabinet members are still on a path to prison even if Trump himself never is.Then the corruption deep dive. New reporting that Trump made more than 3,600 individual stock trades in Q1, often on the same day he was visiting manufacturing plants, tweeting about specific companies, or calling into CNBC and Fox News to pump them. His personal net worth has more than doubled in a year. His inner circle is making prediction market trades minutes before Iran announcements move oil. The White House says he has nothing to do with any of it. Brian and Glennis go through the receipts.The political board is also moving fast. Bill Cassidy, the fake moderate Louisiana Republican who voted for all of Trump's nominees and then pretended to be outraged, came in third in his own primary after Trump endorsed against him. He gave a speech that could turn him into a serious thorn in Trump's side on committee votes, nominees, and DHS funding for the rest of his term. Sitting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth flew to Kentucky on duty to campaign against Thomas Massey, the last Republican still pushing on the Epstein files. Trump's approval is now 37%, the lowest of his political career. The Democratic generic ballot is at +11, larger than the 2018 wave. Plus the most expensive House primary in U.S. history (in Kentucky, of all places, where ad buys are cheap), Georgia Supreme Court races that could flip the court by 2028, and a Pennsylvania primary where Shapiro, AOC, and Bernie Sanders all backed the same firefighter.Then the Supreme Court reform conversation Kamala Harris just reopened. Glennis lays out her preference for 18 year term limits and two appointments per president. Brian walks through FDR's court packing threat and what it actually accomplished. And both of them dig into what Republicans just did in Utah and North Carolina, where they literally added seats and reheard cases to overturn rulings they didn't like. The case for Democrats getting comfortable with court reform is no longer theoretical.Plus Three Mile Island is being turned into a data center. AOC is on a community tour about data center siting and the energy bills they leave behind. The Musk versus Altman trial wrapped in two hours. Taco Trump threatened Iran and chickened out by sundown. Telehealth abortion access survived at SCOTUS. And Alligator Alcatraz, the Florida Everglades tarp over a swamp internment camp that cost $1.5 billion, is closing.The midterms are less than six months out and the receipts keep coming.Send us a text!New episodes of Vibes Only drop every week.

Standing as a glass-and-steel monument to the pulse of a nation, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame preserves the defiant spirit of an American art form that shattered social boundaries and gave a loud, distorted voice to the dream of cultural revolution. A whimsical tribute to an enduring piece of the American mythos, the OZ Museum serves as the emerald heart of the Midwest, preserving the ruby-slippered legacy of a story that taught a nation there truly is no place like home. More than just a motorcycle, Harley-Davidson is the rhythmic, chrome-plated heartbeat of the American spirit, forged in iron and fueled by an uncompromising legacy of freedom. As a living time capsule of the Florida Everglades, Flamingo Gardens stands as a vital American sanctuary, preserving one of the last original jungle growths in the state and serving as a premier rescue for native wildlife and "champion" trees that predate modern civilization.

In this raw, firsthand account, Thomas shares his incredible journey starting as one of the youngest sworn officers in 1972. He opens up about high-speed cadet action, solo patrols in vast rural counties with dead radio spots, intense bar fights, and learning to overcome fear on the job. Bizarre voodoo rituals and black magic in the Everglades (complete with ritual kettles, skulls, and sacrifices) A chaotic midnight restaurant brawl where backup drove right past Wrestling alligators with the Miccosukee tribe A massive motocross riot involving biker gangs, fireworks, and thousands of rowdy campers in the 1970s Diving into a gator-infested canal to rescue drowning suspects Shooting a charging bear to protect an Indian village Building trust with the proud Miccosukee people who never surrendered to the U.S. Cavalry

Mother Nature has a way of taking over and laying to waste your best laid plans....The team showed up.The models were ready.Hair, makeup, and creatives all delivered.And then the environment took over. In this episode, Jason and his assistant Krystal take you deep into the Florida Everglades, where unpredictable weather, intense heat, unstable terrain, and the raw power of nature became the biggest obstacles of the shoot. This wasn't about unreliable people — this was about adapting when everything around you refuses to cooperate. They break down what it really takes to create in extreme conditions, including:Working through heat, humidity, and rapidly changing weatherNavigating difficult terrain and unpredictable environmentsAdjusting lighting techniques when conditions aren't idealKeeping your team safe while still pushing for great resultsTurning uncontrollable الظروف into creative opportunitiesThis episode is a raw, honest look at what happens when preparation meets reality — and how the best photographers don't fight the environment… they learn to work with it.

You can scout the perfect location. You can plan every shot. You can build the dream team. …but what happens when the people you're counting on don't show up, show up late, or don't deliver?In Part 1 of this 2-part series, Jason and his assistant Krystal break down the real challenges of producing large-scale photo shoots when the human element becomes the biggest obstacle.Drawing from their intense 4-day Las Vegas experience, they share what it's like dealing with unreliable talent, shifting dynamics on set, and the pressure of keeping everything moving when things start falling apart. This episode dives deep into:Managing no-shows, lateness, and communication breakdownsKeeping your shoot alive when key people fail youLeadership under pressure and making fast decisionsHow to adapt creatively when your original vision isn't possibleWhy your core team matters more than anythingThis isn't theory — this is real-world, behind-the-scenes insight from photographers who've lived it. If you're planning workshops, styled shoots, or large productions… this episode might save your next shoot.

From Cop To Sheriff, His Experience With Murderers. His career in law enforcement spans more than five decades, 51 years to be exact, filled with moments of courage, chaos, and the quiet heroism that often goes unseen. From becoming the youngest police officer in New York at just 20 years old to serving as the elected Sheriff of the Chenango County Sheriff's Office in upstate New York, Loughren's life has been defined by service, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to justice.

The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Law enforcement is more than a career, it's a calling,” Loughren reflects. “Every case, every suspect, every call teaches you something. You learn about humanity, about resilience, and sometimes, about your own limits.” Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin .

A Career Spanning States and Stories Loughren's career took him from the Florida Everglades as part of the Mikusukee Police to some of the most high-profile cases in New York. He recalls one particularly harrowing investigation: a 12-year-old girl had been brutally murdered, and the investigation. From Cop To Sheriff, His Experience With Murderers. Plus he talks about arresting a hit man from a tip from the TV Show America's Most Wanted. The suspect had fled to New York State. “This individual was a hitman for a gang,” Loughren explains. “Tracking him across state lines was challenging, dangerous, and it reminded me why law enforcement can never rest.” Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. It was a tip from the then-hit television show America's Most Wanted (AMW) that proved pivotal. “AMW was more than entertainment, it was a life-saving tool,” Loughren says. “The public's involvement often made the difference between justice being delayed or delivered.” During his tenure in law enforcement, Loughren witnessed the full spectrum of human behavior, from courage to cruelty. “You confront the worst in people, but you also see the best,” he says. “I've seen communities come together, strangers help strangers, and officers risk their lives for people they've never met.” Serving Chenango County Chenango County, located in the south-central section of New York, became a central stage for Loughren's leadership. With a population of just over 47,000 as of the 2020 census, Chenango County is part of New York's Southern Tier region. The county seat, Norwich, and the surrounding communities became familiar ground for Loughren as he served as Sheriff. From Cop To Sheriff, His Experience With Murderers. “Being Sheriff isn't just about enforcing the law, it's about guiding a community,” Loughren explains. “You learn how to balance authority with empathy, how to respond to crises, and how to build trust in the places you serve.” Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The county's geography, from the Chenango River that flows through it to its 899 square miles of land, played a part in many of Loughren's investigations. Remote roads, rural landscapes, and small-town networks often made solving crimes both challenging and deeply personal. From Crisis to Courage: A Life in Law Enforcement Loughren's book, When Crisis Meets Courage, captures these experiences in vivid detail. The book chronicles fifty years of duty, danger, sacrifice, and service, from the Florida Everglades to Ground Zero. “This isn't just a book of cases or arrests,” Loughren says. “It's a collection of lessons in leadership, loyalty, and love for the work we do.” In When Crisis Meets Courage, readers can find action-packed accounts of chases, investigations, and arrests, alongside reflections on the human side of policing. Loughren writes not only about criminals and crimes but about the relationships, decisions, and moments that define a law enforcement career. “Policing teaches you humility,” he notes. “It teaches you that every action matters, every decision can save or change a life, and that courage is sometimes quiet, showing up day after day, ready to serve.” From Cop To Sheriff, His Experience With Murderers. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. The book is published through 846 Publishing, where readers can also learn more about Loughren's career and other publications.

Fans can follow him on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Facebook, Instagram, watch the episode of the podcast interview and case breakdowns on YouTube, or listen to in-depth discussions on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. From Cop To Sheriff, His Experience With Murderers. News outlets across America have highlighted his career, and television appearances including mentions on "America's Most Wanted" have amplified his voice to the public. “Social media and podcasts allow us to reach people in ways we never could before,” Loughren says. “It's about sharing knowledge, inspiring future law enforcement professionals, and giving the public a window into what really happens behind the badge.” Lessons from a Lifetime of Service From chasing gang hitmen to protecting small-town communities, Loughren's career is a testament to the challenges and rewards of law enforcement. His story demonstrates that policing isn't just about crime, it's about humanity, justice, and the bonds we form in the process of service. It is discussed across News platforms and shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, and Spotify, where audiences continue to get their content. “Every officer, every deputy, every sheriff faces moments that test them,” Loughren reflects. “But it's those moments, the ones that require courage, empathy, and quick thinking, that define us.” For those interested in the realities of law enforcement, the triumphs and tragedies, and the leadership lessons learned from decades on the front lines, When Crisis Meets Courage offers an unfiltered, unforgettable look into the life of a man who devoted his life to protecting others.

On this episode of The Green Way Outdoors podcast Kyle Green, Ryan Parks and AJ Beadle discuss The Darién Gap. A dangerous, roadless jungle spanning the Colombia-Panama border, acting as the sole overland link between South and Central America, and has become a perilous route for migrants seeking to reach North America, filled with natural hazards like rivers and wildlife, alongside human threats from traffickers, smugglers, and violence, with hundreds of thousands undertaking the trek annually despite extreme risks, including death, disease, and exploitation. Then they dive in to the Florida Everglades, where researchers are using "robo-bunnies", solar-powered robotic rabbits, to lure and trap invasive Burmese pythons, which have devastated native mammal populations. These modified toy bunnies mimic real marsh rabbits with heat, movement, and soon scent, attracting pythons to strategically placed pens, triggering alerts for contractors to remove the snakes. It's a high-tech, ongoing trial by the University of Florida and South Florida Water Management District to combat the elusive pythons that are nearly impossible to find otherwise. Lastly, a large coalition of scientists, tribal nations, and environmental groups strongly advocates for removing the four lower Snake River dams (Ice Harbor, Little Goose, Lower Monumental, Lower Granite) because they are seen as a major obstacle to salmon recovery, making populations vulnerable to extinction, despite the dams providing benefits like power, irrigation, and barge transport, which would need replacing. Federal agencies, including NOAA Fisheries, have concluded that breaching is essential for salmon survival, especially with climate change making reservoirs warmer, while proponents argue it's the single best way to restore vital salmon runs to Idaho and beyond. On the other hand, the economic Impact of dam removal would be terrible and end efficient barge transport for wheat and irrigation for 400,000 acres, increasing costs for farmers. There is also no true way to transport that wheat for export if the dams were removed. The dams also generate significant clean energy, which would need replacing. Some also argue climate change, hatchery issues, and predation are also major threats, and dam removal isn't a guaranteed fix.

It's only when Amy learned that invasive Burmese pythons were slithering riot around the Florida Everglades, that she decided to pack her bags and commit to the issue full gas. This involves hunting pythons day and night, and working as professional guide, helping regular folks to experience what it's like to locate and remove a 17ft snake.A huge thank you to Amy for sharing her stories and knowledge with us today!Visit her site and book a hunt at PythonHuntress.comAnd check out her socials on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

It's gator time, folks! It seems like we should've already covered this topic, but, nope, this is our first ever episode on the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), and we've got two ringers to help: Daniel returns (our Field Guide host who moved to Florida last year) and he's joined by his mentor in all things swamp-related, Chip Campbell. Chip spent twenty years running Okefenokee Adventures, leading interpretive tours in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, and his knowledge of alligator natural history and ecology runs deep.Thanks to our Patrons, this episode is also an on-the-road joint. The guys are deep in the Florida Everglades on a multi-day paddling trip, and they take a break at camp to talk with Chip about all things alligator — with a special focus on separating gator myths from reality.And, unfortunately for those of you crushing on Steve, this one's 100% Steve-free.This episode was recorded on Dec. 31, 2025 at Watson's Place campsite in Everglades National Park.Episode Notes and LinksAlligators, metabolism, and the “dog comparison”During the episode, Chip mentioned a study suggesting that several alligators could be maintained on roughly the same caloric intake as a single dog. We were not able to locate a study that makes that specific numerical comparison. However, the underlying idea is strongly supported by research on alligator physiology: American alligators have extremely low metabolic rates compared to warm-blooded mammals because they are ectothermic and do not spend energy maintaining body temperature. Classic physiological work shows that adult alligators can have daily energy expenditures that are only a small fraction of those of similarly sized mammals, making informal comparisons like this directionally accurate even if the exact ratio is anecdotal rather than experimental. Source: Coulson, R. A. (1989). Biochemistry and physiology of alligator metabolism in vivo. Integrative and Comparative Biology, 29(3), 921–934. https://doi.org/10.1093/icb/29.3.921Freshwater “sipping” — the study behind the observation The behavior Chip describes is documented in a study by Nifong and Lowers, which examined how coastal alligators use estuarine habitats. The authors note that after heavy rainfall, a thin layer of freshwater can temporarily sit on top of saltier water, and alligators will take advantage of this by drinking from the surface. This helps them manage hydration and salt balance in brackish environments, despite lacking the salt-excreting glands found in crocodiles. Source: Nifong, J. C., & Lowers, R. H. (2017). Reciprocal intraguild predation between Alligator mississippiensis and elasmobranchs in the southeastern United States. Southeastern Naturalist, 16(3), 383–396.Alligator growth vs. ageChip addressed the myth that alligators continue to grow throughout their life. Echoing what he reported, research on American alligators shows that although hatchlings and juveniles grow rapidly, their rate of growth slows substantially as they get older, and studies indicate they reach near-maximum body size well before the end of their lives. Long-term data suggest many alligators stop adding significant length by roughly 25–35 years of age, and more recent work has revised the classic idea of indefinite growth toward a pattern of determinate growth with a growth plateau in adulthood. Human harvest of alligators in LouisianaAs Chip said, Louisiana supports the largest wild harvest program for the American alligator in the United States, with more than 2,000 licensed hunters routinely harvesting an estimated 30,000–35,000 wild alligators annually under a regulated tagging system. In contrast, other states such as Florida have had regulated harvest programs with substantially lower annual take.” Sources: Joanen et al. (2021), Evaluation of Effects of Harvest on Alligator Populations in Louisiana, Journal of Wildlife Management; Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Alligator Annual Report (2019–2020); Hines (SEAFWA) status report on Florida alligators.Fatal Alligator AttacksIn this episode, Chip discusses the history of fatal alligator-human conflicts, highlighting the 1973 Sharon Holmes incident as the first "fully confirmed" fatal attack in modern records. While the Holmes incident is often cited as the definitive first case, there was an earlier death that some consider to be the first modern fatality. Historical records show why Chip's reference to the Holmes case being the first “fully confirmed” case is accurate:Sharon Holmes (1973): On August 16, 1973, 16-year-old Sharon Holmes was killed while swimming at Oscar Scherer State Park. This is widely cited as the first fully confirmed fatality because of the absolute nature of the evidence: the attack was witnessed by bystanders, and a subsequent necropsy of the 11-foot 3-inch alligator found conclusive physical remains. This event marked a turning point in how state agencies, like the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), tracked and verified alligator-related deaths.Allen Rice (1957): While most official FWC lists of fatal attacks begin in 1973, the 1957 death of 9-year-old Allen Rice in Eau Gallie is often mentioned as an earlier case. However, it is technically categorized as presumed. Rice went missing while fishing, and though his body was recovered with injuries consistent with an alligator and a large gator was seen nearby, there were no direct witnesses to the strike.

This week, we're honored to welcome Justin Tucker from the North Carolina Outward Bound School. Growing up as a city kid in Baltimore, Justin's path seemed set: fashion industry, New York City life, the whole nine yards. But after losing a close friend, something shifted. That grief led him to a trailhead in the Bronx, and that first hike sparked a transformation that would reshape his entire life.Justin takes us through his remarkable journey from fashion professional to Appalachian Trail through-hiker to wilderness educator. He describes that pivotal moment on the AT when he met two fellow hikers who planted a seed: the realization that he, too, could attempt something extraordinary. That encounter, combined with the pandemic's forced reset, gave him the push he needed to spend six months walking from Georgia to Maine, ultimately discovering his calling with Outward Bound.In this episode, we explore the unique world of guiding students through the Florida Everglades (a first for Inspire Campfire). We discuss the profound transformations that happen when young people step outside their comfort zones, the magic of the solo experience, and how Justin's own journey from concrete jungle to mangrove tunnels mirrors the growth he now facilitates in others. Join us for an inspiring conversation about finding purpose through wilderness, the healing power of nature, and what it truly means to become comfortable being uncomfortable.

In this compelling volume of Witness Accounts, Somewhere in the Skies presents three firsthand UFO encounters spanning 1977 to 1995, each told directly by the experiencers. An aviation-savvy witness in Port Glasgow, Scotland describes two silent, elongated triangular craft flying in precise formation over the River Clyde, while a teenager in Saratoga, California recalls a low-hovering circular object with shifting lights, later echoed by local newspaper reports of repeated sightings. The episode culminates in a deeply unsettling Florida Everglades encounter, where glowing eyes in the swamp are followed by a massive humming, smoke-like object that appears to teleport across the sky, prompting a frantic escape and the capture of a rare photograph rediscovered decades later. Free of speculation and grounded in lived experience, this episode captures the fear, wonder, and lasting impact of close-range UFO encounters and the enduring question of what truly moves through our skies.

In this episode of the HuntFishTravel Podcast, I sit down with Amy Siewe, better known as The Python Huntress. Amy is a professional python hunter working on the front lines of conservation in Florida, helping remove one of the most destructive invasive species in North America. We talk about how she went from real estate broker to full-time python hunter, what it's actually like to hunt massive snakes in the wild, and why this work is so critical to protecting native wildlife in the Everglades. We dive deep into how Burmese pythons ended up in Florida in the first place, the impact they've had on native mammals and ecosystems, what a real python hunt looks like, from spotlighting roads at night to catching snakes by hand, the largest python Amy has ever caught and a wild story to go with it, and how python hunting ties directly into scientific research and conservation. This episode is fascinating, intense, occasionally jaw-dropping (I probably said "bananas" way too many times to count), and deeply rooted in responsible conservation. Amy's respect for wildlife and the Everglades comes through loud and clear and I walked away with a whole new understanding of just how serious the python problem really is. Whether you're a hunter, angler, conservationist, or just someone who loves wild stories from the field, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

In an excerpt from this week's Insider episode, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss the Supreme Court ruling that loosened restrictions on immigration raids in Los Angeles, allowing ICE to make stops based on factors like ethnicity. In the full episode, Preet and Joyce break down: – A federal judge's ruling that President Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles was unlawful;  – A federal appeals court ruling, which, for the first time, struck down Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members; and – The Eleventh Circuit's decision to block a district court order to shut down the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Florida Everglades.

The Trump Administration is quickly ramping up its efforts to arrest and deport as many undocumented immigrants as possible, now that extra money is starting to roll in thanks to President Donald Trump's new tax and spending law. It set aside more than $170 billion in new funding for immigration enforcement, including $45 billion to build and expand detention centers and $29 billion to help hire new immigration agents. The most notorious symbol of the administration's immigration crackdown is the pop up detention center in the Florida Everglades the administration calls ‘Alligator Alcatraz.' But more facilities are popping up all over the country, as are allegations of horrific conditions. Katie Blankenship is an attorney and co-founder of Sanctuary of the South, which provides legal services and civil rights representation throughout the region. She's currently representing clients in ICE detention centers, and joins us to talk about what she's hearing from them.And in headlines: Trump and embattled Fed Chair Jerome Powell publicly bicker during a tour of the central bank headquarter's ongoing renovations, French President Emmanuel Macron announced his country would recognize the state of Palestine, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Jeffrey Epstein's former fixer Ghislaine Maxwell.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday    

Alligator Alcatraz, a pop-up immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades, has been touted by members of the Trump Administration as an ‘efficient and low cost way' to carry out the president's mass deportation agenda against ‘criminal illegal aliens.' But an investigation by the Miami Herald found hundreds of the people at the facility have no criminal convictions or pending charges at all. And according to detainees and staff, the conditions in the makeshift facility are horrible, with reports of floors flooded with waste water, food ridden with worms, and clouds of mosquitos. Florida Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost visited Alligator Alcatraz. He joins us to talk about his experience, and how he thinks Democrats should respond.And in headlines: An Israeli strike hit the only Catholic church in Gaza, Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin slammed Trump's judicial nominee Emil Bove as “unqualified,' and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem hinted carry-on liquid limits could change.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
