James M. Scott traces the dramatic, complex final months of World War II in the Pacific. Scott details how Secretary of War Henry Stimson briefed Truman in depth on the secret atomic bomb, and praises General Leslie Groves' masterful management of the Manhattan Project's secret cities. He describes Japan's political division: Emperor Hirohito secretly sought peace while militarists prepared a fanatical defense of Kyushu to force better terms. Scott explains the intense debate over demanding unconditional surrender versus preserving the Japanese monarchy, concluding with the Trinitytest, Potsdam Conference, and Truman's hope that the bomb's shock value would force surrender.

In March of 1987, Sheila Washington was walking near East Colfax Avenue, which was once dubbed the “longest, wickedest street in America," when a stranger in a blue Concord offered her a ride. That afternoon turned into a fight for survival when he tried to strangle her, exposing 34-year-old Vincent Darrell Groves: a prolific yet largely unknown Colorado serial killer. Decades later, dedicated cold case units and modern DNA testing are finally holding him accountable for a long list of cold cases and bringing long-overdue answers to grieving families. Join Jen and Cam as they piece together the many cold cases and DNA evidence that finally brought Vincent Darrell Groves to light.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Seika Groves for a fascinating exploration of Science and the Paranormal. For generations, people have reported experiences involving ghosts, psychic phenomena, telepathy, precognition, unexplained energies, and other events that appear to challenge conventional explanations. But can these experiences be investigated scientifically, and where should we draw the line between genuine mystery, personal belief, and phenomena that may eventually have a conventional explanation? Seika examines the intriguing territory where scientific inquiry and paranormal research intersect. From reports of extrasensory perception and unusual consciousness experiences to hauntings and unexplained encounters, the discussion considers how researchers can approach extraordinary claims using observation, experimentation, critical thinking, and an open but skeptical mind. Scientific investigation does not require automatically accepting or rejecting paranormal claims—it requires asking good questions and following the evidence wherever it leads. During this thought-provoking conversation, Rob and Seika explore parapsychology, consciousness, psychic phenomena, ghosts, ESP, telepathy, precognition, and unexplained experiences. They discuss the difficulties researchers face when attempting to reproduce paranormal phenomena under controlled conditions, the importance of separating anecdotal experiences from scientific evidence, and whether our present understanding of physics and consciousness leaves room for discoveries that could change how we perceive reality. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or someone fascinated by mysteries that remain unexplained, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show offers an intriguing examination of the continuing debate between science and the paranormal. Join Rob McConnell and Seika Groves as they investigate whether science may someday provide answers to phenomena that currently exist at the boundaries of human understanding.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Jim Robbins, author of The Man Who Planted Trees: A Story of Lost Groves, the Science of Trees, and a Plan to Save the Planet, discusses the life's work of David Milarch, a man who, following a transformative near-death experience, embarked on a mission to save the genetics of the world's largest and oldest trees. Through the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, Milarch and his team clone "champion trees"—the largest specimens of various species—to preserve their resilient DNA, which Milarch believes contains the "schooling" of centuries of survival against storms and disease. Despite early resistance from federal regulators and established forestry groups, the project has gained global attention as a vital response to the climate crisis. Robbins highlights trees as sophisticated "eco technology" that performs "ecosystem services," such as filtering water through the rhizosphere (root system), signaling threats to one another via chemical processes, and even influencing global weather patterns. The discussion underscores a dire environmental reality: 95% of old-growth redwoods and sequoias have been lost, and current giants are dying due to rising temperatures. To counter this, Milarch utilizes "assisted migration," replanting clones of ancient giants in cooler northern climates like Oregon to ensure their survival. Ultimately, Robbins emphasizes the deep emotional and biological connection between humans and trees, advocating for a "gospel of trees" to restore the planet's damaged ecosystems.

Welcome to the first stop on our five-part audio guide to Asheville, North Carolina. And where better to start than at the beginning? In this episode of Unpacked by Afar, host Aislyn Greene sets out on foot to trace Asheville history from the ground up, and to answer a simple question: How did a remote, hard-to-reach valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains become one of the most creative small cities in America? Aislyn's first guide reveals the deep Asheville history hiding in plain sight downtown. There are the ancient mountains and rivers, the Cherokee crossroads that predated the city by thousands of years, the rowdy cattle-drive era that gave the town its early reputation, and the arrival of the railroad in 1880, which brought the Vanderbilts, the Groves, and the money that built landmarks like the Grove Arcade. From there, Aislyn drives out to the Biltmore Estate, America's largest privately owned home, to meet Chase Pickering, a fifth-generation member of the Vanderbilt family. He shares what it was like to grow up on the estate, and why stewardship and sustainability still shape the property today. But no honest telling of Asheville history is complete without the Black community that helped build the city, including Biltmore itself. Aislyn rides through the historically Black neighborhoods of Eagle Street and Burton Street with DeWayne Barton of Hood Huggers, meets community elder Clifford Cotton, grandson of the pioneering entrepreneur E.W. Pearson, and hears a song from Asheville artist Virtuous. It all adds up to a rich piece of cultural travel and the story of how Asheville became Asheville: a place ringed by mountains where people have both passed through and put down deep roots. Consider this your starting point for planning Asheville travel, and your first look at one of the South's most distinctive travel destinations. It's also your reminder that the best trips start with knowing where to go and why a place is the way it is. Unpacked by Afar is a travel podcast that unpacks one destination at a time. This Asheville audio guide continues across four more episodes, so look for the rest of the series waiting in the feed.

If you've ever posted something you were really proud of, watched it completely flop, and then spiralled about it for the rest of the day – today's episode of the How I Do Content Podcast is for you!Because I've seen this scenario play out time and time again. When you do something that doesn't work: you make it mean something. You decide the whole strategy is broken or worse, that you're broken. But the one thing you don't do is the thing that would actually tell you what happened: go and look at the data.And I know, I know. The second I say "data," you tense up and go "but I'm not a numbers person." I get it – I'm the creative, messaging, words girlie, not the spreadsheet one. But as my coach always reminds me – data is just information. And when you actually look at it, it's going to make your marketing efforts much more effective. And to help me highlight why data isn't so scary – today I'm joined by the extra magical Rebecca Caldwell.Rebecca is the founder of Three Groves Marketing, where she helps service-based business owners actually use their marketing data and build lead-generating systems, so they can spend their time, money and energy wisely, while building a business that lets them have a really great life.In this episode of the How I Do Content Podcast, Rebecca shares how to make data feel genuinely simple (and dare I say, not scary). We get into where this fear of data really comes from, where to start and how your data might just give you permission to stop doing all the marketing you secretly hate.I guarantee after you finish listening to this episode, you'll look at data a whole lot differently!So let's get into it.CONNECT WITH REBECCA CALDWELLFollow Rebecca on Instagram @threegrovesGet to know your data with Rebecca's Marketing Compass at https://threegrovesmarketing.com/marketing-compass Grab the Free Marketing Measurement Playbook at https://threegrovesmarketing.com/mmp Find out more at https://threegrovesmarketing.com/ WANT MORE?Watch my 13 minute One Offer, 5 Angles Mini Training at https://thesocialbolt.com.au/mini-training/ Join the Micro Messaging Waitlist at https://thesocialbolt.com.au/messaging-waitlist/ Follow me on Instagram at http://www.instagram.com/thesocialbolt Find out more at https://www.thesocialbolt.com.au TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODEmarketing data made simple, how to read marketing analytics, marketing analytics for beginners, google analytics for small business, what marketing metrics actually matter, data informed content strategy, how to use UTM parameters, marketing for service providers, stop guessing marketing, how to know what content is working, paid ads for small business, when to start paid advertising, retargeting ads for beginners, reusing top performing content, how to get off the content hamster wheel, why is my marketing not working, data driven marketing decisions, marketing for non numbers people, google search console for beginners, small business marketing strategyBackground Music is Copyright Free.

Deep in the California redwoods, beneath a towering owl statue hidden among the trees, robed figures gather around firelight as chants echo through the darkness. For decades, Bohemian Grove has fueled rumors involving secret ceremonies, elite power, occult symbolism, and hidden rituals far from public view. But what if scenes like this are not isolated? In this unsettling episode of Dark Outdoors®, Chester Moore investigates disturbing similarities between the mysterious rituals of Bohemian Grove and terrifying firsthand encounters reported deep in remote wilderness areas. Witnesses describe hooded figures gathered around fires… strange nighttime ceremonies…and mysterious leaders dressed in red standing at the center while others watch from the darkness. The episode also explores the ancient symbolism of the owl across cultures, from Mesoamerican beliefs surrounding death and sorcery to the owl's modern role in secretive ceremonial traditions. Are these merely recurring symbols rooted in human psychology and ancient mythology? Or do the stories point toward something darker hidden deep in the outdoors? From elite gatherings beneath giant owls to terrifying encounters in isolated forests, this episode examines the mystery, fear, and symbolism surrounding one of the strangest recurring images in Dark Outdoors history: the hooded figures in the wilderness.

Author and advocate Shanna Groves shares the emotional reality of living, parenting, and communicating with progressive hearing loss. In this conversation with Shari Eberts, the creator of Lip Reading Mom discusses her experience growing up with an undiagnosed hearing loss, navigating motherhood and professional life with hearing challenges, and ultimately receiving a cochlear implant in 2025.Shanna reflects on the emotional process of accepting hearing loss, the communication fatigue that often comes with relying on lip reading, and the importance of finding confidence, community, and self-advocacy along the way. She also explains how advancements in technology — from hearing aids to cochlear implants and video communication platforms — have helped reshape both her personal and professional life.The discussion also explores Shanna's work teaching lip reading classes, her Deafinitely Talking Podcast, and the inspiration behind her new book How I Hear: Confessions of a Lip-Reading Mom. Throughout the conversation, she shares honest insights about grief, resilience, parenting, identity, and why authentic hearing loss stories matter for people at every stage of their journey.Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn, Instagram and X.- https://x.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.instagram.com/thisweekinhearing/- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearingVisit us at: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/
My friend, Lauren Groves, is on the podcast today and she's not only an intentional wife and mother, but she's also an author of a beautiful kids book series entitled, "Toddler Theology." I instantly thought about her when thinking about this parenting series because she is truly gifted in helping parents teach simple, yet powerful truths about the gospel in such an easy way through catechisms. In this episode, we talk about how the mundane things in motherhood and discipleship matter and how to take the pressure off of "saving" your children, and instead, do what we can and let God do the rest (or rather, the MOST).

What happens when a journalist known for telling other people's stories turns the spotlight on her own? In this episode of Hear Tell, host Laurie Hertzel sits down with Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author Anne Hull to discuss her new memoir, "Through the Groves." After nearly two decades as a national reporter for The Washington Post, Hull shifts from observer to subject, exploring her coming of agein rural central Florida — where her father worked in the citrus groves — and her journey toward understanding identity, family, and belonging. Hertzel and Hull discuss the challenges of writing a memoir after a career in journalism, the tension between reporting and remembering, and what it means to tell the truth when the story is your own. They also explore how place shapes narrative, how silence can shape a life, and why some stories take decades to tell. This conversation offers a thoughtful look at craft, courage, and the complicated work of turning lived experience into story. Here is a link to purchase Anne Hull's memoir, "Through the Groves."

Disappearing Neighbors, Upended Constitutional Norms, ans an Artist's Response to ICE Curtis Chang talks with singer-songwriter and Twin Cities resident Sara Groves about heightened ICE activity in Minneapolis–Saint Paul and why the consequences for families and neighborhoods persist after the headlines fade. Groves challenges claims that "protesters are paid agitators" or that "ICE targets only criminals," naming the emotional and spiritual toll alongside concerns about due process and constitutional overreach. They discuss "borrowed courage," the cost of public witness—when refusing to defend the indefensible—and how Christians can resist dehumanization by loving neighbors and cultivating beauty amid fear and division.

In this episode of Murder in the Black, we unpack the heartbreaking story of Kim Groves—a Black woman, community advocate, and mother whose decision to report police misconduct in 1994 set off a chain of events that would change everything.What began as one woman speaking up against abuse of power quickly revealed something much bigger: a deeply corrupted system inside the New Orleans Police Department, and a city already battling violence, fear, and broken trust.Kim's story forces us to confront the cost of courage, the danger Black communities face when they challenge authority, and the uncomfortable truth that corruption doesn't always look like a stranger—it can wear a badge.The violent reality of New Orleans in the 1990s and the systemic failures that shaped itCorruption inside the NOPD, including the actions of Officer Len DavisKim Groves' courage—and what happens when a Black woman refuses to stay silentThe long history of mistrust between Black communities and law enforcement in AmericaHow race, power, and internal systems of oppression complicate “protection” and “justice”The investigation, cooperation deals, and what accountability looks like in a corrupt systemWhy police reform is still an urgent conversation—and why stories like Kim's must be rememberedTimestamps00:00 — Introduction + case overview00:35 — New Orleans in the 1990s: context + tension01:02 — Crime statistics + community impact02:24 — Len Davis + Kim Groves background03:42 — Misconduct culture inside the NOPD05:59 — Operation Shattered Shield begins08:11 — Kim files a misconduct complaint09:33 — The danger of speaking out11:05 — The legacy of racial oppression + policing13:09 — Kim Groves' murder + surveillance footage14:57 — Trial tactics: discrediting the victim16:37 — Witness testimony + plea deals20:03 — Victim-blaming + “perfect victim” expectations21:41 — Sentencing + why plea agreements matter24:50 — Len Davis' death + the lasting damage25:45 — Corruption and community trauma27:08 — Remembering Kim's humanity28:20 — Corruption involving Black officers30:05 — Accountability: personal + systemic31:26 — Closing reflection: race, policing, reformResources & LinksFBI: Operation Shattered ShieldKim Groves case coverage + justice reportingFollow + Support Murder in the Black
Across Mediterranean Europe, olive groves are in decline from a range of factors, from disease to depopulation. In Italy alone, there are roughly 440 million abandoned olive trees, and the ecological, cultural and socioeconomic impacts from the loss are devastating, explains the latest guest on the Mongabay Newscast. Still, solutions exist to help turn the tide of this under-discussed problem. Federica Romano is the program coordinator and UNESCO Chair on Agricultural Heritage Landscapes at the University of Florence. On this episode of the Mongabay Newscast she discusses the drivers of the degradation and abandonment of olive groves, how ecological factors and human-induced climate change exacerbate these, and the consequences for biodiversity and wildlife in Europe, where olive oil isn't just an economic institution, but also a significant cultural one. "Olive groves hold [a] deep cultural significance that goes far beyond agriculture [and] food production across Europe," she says. "Olive trees have symbolized peace, resilience and continuity through thousands of years, appearing in religious contexts, but also in arts and historical narratives." The Mongabay Newscast is available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify, and previous episodes are also accessible at our website's podcast page.

In a world obsessed with stimulation and strength, what can this gentle, velvety herb teach us about healing?In this episode, herbalist and prolific author Maria Noël Groves joins me to discuss one of the most soothing herbs around—the lovely marshmallow (Althaea officinalis). Together we explore what makes this mucilaginous (read: velvety, not slimy!) herb such a powerful ally for irritated and inflamed tissues—especially in the gut, where marshmallow helps to protect, moisten, and nourish while also supporting the microbiome.Maria shares why she's fallen so deeply in love with this soft, soothing herb, and how it works without being forceful or stimulating. She also includes a recipe for a cozy, delicious beverage to soothe not just the gut, but also the spirit—her Creamy Marshmallow-Nutmeg Overnight Infusion. You can download your beautifully-illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► The importance of tasting and experiencing an herb in different ways► How best to prepare marshmallow root (and why this is a point of contention among herbalists!)► When marshmallow leaf and flower might be a better medicinal choice than the roots► Why Maria includes marshmallow leaf in most of her tea blends► How marshmallow can help heal your digestion—from cooling inflamed tissues to feeding your gut microbiome (and more!)► When to use caution with taking marshmallow► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Maria Noël Groves is a clinical herbalist nestled in the pine forests of New Hampshire. She runs Wintergreen Botanicals, and is devoted to education and empowerment via classes, health consultations, and writing with the foundational belief that good health grows in nature. Maria is the author of the award-winning, best-selling book Body into Balance: An Herbal Guide to Holistic Self Care, as well as Grow Your Own Herbal Remedies, Herbal Remedies for Sleep, and the new Herbal Gut Health.Marshmallow offers an important reminder that some of the most profound healing comes not from pushing harder, but from learning how to soften. I hope this conversation with Maria inspires you to give your body the care, protection, and nourishment it needs in the new year and beyond.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?
