Trapped by the blizzard, Sarah searches the cabin for answers—and finds more than she bargained for. Hidden passages run through the walls like veins. Scratches mark the inside of closet doors. And in decades of family photographs, the same impossible shape appears in every frame, watching from windows and doorways. A letter from her grandmother reveals the horrifying truth: something has lived in this cabin since before it was built. It took Sarah's aunt in 1962. Now, on Christmas Eve, Lily has vanished into a hidden door—following the voice of a man who's been waiting for decades.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

For years now, we've seen the pressures of housing and affordability explode into a crisis, and the answers to that crisis never seem to make themselves known. Maybe things are changing. In November, the City of Guelph and Wyndham House announced that by this time next year, they will have effectively ended youth homelessness in Guelph. What makes them so confident? The media release said, “Guelph is on track to become the first mid-sized city in Canada to end chronic youth homelessness.” The project in question is at 107 and 109 Waterloo Avenue; 109 will have 24/7 wraparound care and on-site health services while 107 will have three apartments for youth preparing to move into permanent housing. With this impressive progress, Wyndham House boldly stated that Guelph will have functionally zero youth homelessness in this city by the end of 2026. So how did they do it? According to Wyndham House, youth homelessness has dropped by 76 per cent over the last three years, which they credit to early interventions that stop youth from ending up homeless in the first place. Forty-four per cent of homeless adults are unhoused for the first time before they turn 25, so if you can stop any young people from ending up homeless in the first place, that can have a big impact on stopping homelessness in the future. But is it really that simple? Kristen Cairney, who is the executive director of Wyndham House, is going to tell us why they're so confident in this bonus edition of the podcast. We will talk about the Waterloo Avenue project, how it will allow Guelph to get to "functional zero” on youth homelessness, and what that means practically for the community. Also, we will talk about the things that  Guelph is doing to make this possible, how they're reaching out to young people everyday, and what Wyndham House is working on next.  So let's find the good news on this week's episode of the Guelph Politicast!  If you would like to learn more about Wyndham House, access their services, or are interested in volunteering, you can go to their website, and you can follow them on special media on Facebook and on Instagram. You can also learn more about the City of Guelph Housing Affordability Strategy at the City's website.  Programming Note: The 500th episode of the show will air in the usual timeslot this Wednesday.  The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at Apple, TuneIn and Spotify .

Sarah brings her husband and seven-year-old daughter to her family's remote mountain cabin for Christmas. Her mother was supposed to arrive days earlier—but the cabin sits empty and cold. As a historic blizzard seals them in, Sarah discovers footprints in the snow leading to the cabin. Only to the cabin. Not away. That night, her daughter begins talking to someone she calls "the man in the wall." Someone who's been waiting in the dark spaces of this old house. Someone who doesn't like the Christmas lights. The first chapter of a four-part winter nightmare.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

Thanksgiving Day dawns with the family buried in snow and slowly starving, unable to eat anything except the impossibly tempting feast Marcus has prepared. The transformed family members from across the centuries sit as shadows at the table when Thomas Brennan enters—now eight feet tall with sideways-opening mouth and fingers that drag the floor, yet his eyes remain human and suffering. As family members succumb to hunger and transform into Wendigos with each bite, Emma discovers Mary Brennan's hidden writing revealing the curse can only work if they choose to eat—starvation will break it—and that an altar in the cave is the source. Emma cleverly uses the transfer ritual to make Thomas the "chosen one," causing him to consume himself in an endless loop of hunger, while Sarah and Pete crack the obsidian altar in the cave despite warnings that breaking it means death for all. The family survives and appears free when the hunger vanishes with the altar's destruction, but they find a final note from Josiah warning that hunger never dies, only sleeps, and a new empty journal appears with Sarah's unwritten words already inside. As they flee the cabin, Emma sees Thomas's human form in the reflection, crying and mouthing either "thank you," "I'm sorry," or "still hungry"—they'll never know which—leaving them as eternal guardians of a sleeping hunger that waits for the next family desperate enough to make the same terrible choice.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Reid Carter exposes how Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 young men between 1978 and 1991 while Milwaukee police ignored every warning sign. Convicted in 1988 for molesting a 13-year-old Laotian boy, served just 10 months. May 1991: Three police officers returned the victim's 14-year-old brother—naked, bleeding, and drugged—to Dahmer's apartment. Thirty minutes later, Konerak Sinthasomphone was dead. July 22, 1991: Tracy Edwards escaped with handcuffs dangling from his wrist and led police to apartment 213. Inside: eleven bodies, severed heads in the refrigerator, body parts in acid barrels. The Milwaukee Cannibal's thirteen-year killing spree finally ended.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

The power dies at 3 AM as something massive walks across the cabin roof, telling them "one more day" in a voice like wind through a collapsed throat. Marcus disappears, only to be found in the cellar butchering something frozen and human-shaped while inhabited by the Wendigo, singing about preparing the feast with knowledge learned from Josiah in his dreams. Sarah discovers recipes in the journal's final pages detailing how to prepare "the Chosen"—requiring the youngest blood relative, Emma—while another recipe reveals the chosen one can transfer the hunger to another willing family member.As the family argues over sacrificing Emma, with Dana and David suggesting she should be given up to save the rest, the lights impossibly flicker to reveal Thomas himself: seven feet tall with fingers that touch the floor and too many teeth. Marcus emerges from the unlocked cellar with elongated fingers and white eyes, accompanied by shadows of all the cave's victims, as he begins cooking meat that fills everyone with supernatural hunger. The journal reveals a torn page from Josiah's wife Mary confessing that Thomas didn't die from infection—Josiah murdered him—and they've all become the Wendigo, carrying it in their blood.With less than twenty-four hours until Thanksgiving, the smell of Marcus's cooking threatens to awaken the inherited hunger in their blood as they realize they're not trying to stop the Wendigo but stop themselves from becoming it.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

A massive blizzard traps the family at the cabin as Uncle Pete reveals their ancestor Josiah's journal from 1874, documenting how thirteen family members, snowed in and starving, resorted to cannibalism when Josiah fed them his dying brother Thomas—who then returned as something inhuman, impossibly tall with elongated fingers, scratching at the walls with endless hunger.Emma and Sarah sneak into the forbidden root cellar using keys Marcus secretly provides, discovering human bones from victims spanning 151 years, including one person killed every fifty years on Thanksgiving, plus additional victims from years when the creature wasn't properly fed.When Marcus catches them in the cave, his eyes turn frost-white and he speaks in an ancient voice about feeding the family, his fingers stretching impossibly long before returning to normal with no memory of the encounter. The complete journal reveals that eating Thomas transformed the family line into "the Wendigo's children," carrying the curse in their blood, requiring them to feed one family member to it every fifty years or lose everyone—with only two days until Thanksgiving to decide who becomes this year's meal.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

When Pete finally reveals that something has been visiting since he began the restoration—something connected to their ancestor Josiah and the winter of 1874 when thirteen family members disappeared—Sarah realizes they haven't been gathered for a reunion but to feed a tradition that demands its Thanksgiving dinner. The empty place settings for thirteen missing relatives and the words "STILL HUNGRY" scratched into the ancient table suggest that this year, the family might not be preparing the meal—they might be the meal.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

The last 24 hours have seen three important developments, both legal and political, that spell real trouble for Donald Trump and his administration.First: the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the lower court opinion in which two Trump-appointed judges decided Trump should be able to militarize the streets of Portland, Oregon. The appeals court will now sit in judgement en banc (full court) and hopefully put a more permanent stop to Trump's attempts to send troops into Portland based on Trump's "assertions that are untethered to the facts," as the trial court judge found.Second: As NPR reported, "Senate Republicans deal Trump a rare rebuke on trade with vote against Brazil tariffs."And Third: a federal judge in California ruled that the US Attorney for the Middle District of California was appointed unlawfully by Trump. This ruling has important implications for the prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James, and may result in those cases being dismissed.For Glenn's Substack: hhtps://glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
