This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers red-hot Gulf Coast fishing from bluewater current breaks to Dauphin Island beach trout.  Butch Thierry is joined by Angelo DePaola, who opens the show with an update on the Abaco Orange Beach development and how boating, fishing, waterfront access, and lifestyle are driving strong interest in the project. Tom Hilton of Realtime Navigator follows with a detailed offshore breakdown after the recent tropical weather, explaining how cleaner water, color changes, sea surface temperatures, altimetry, current, and structure should guide anglers looking for blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, mahi, and other pelagics. Capt. Myles Colley of It Just Takes Time joins next for a deep offshore conversation on big-game fishing, Omni sonar, tuna tubes, live baiting, trolling teasers, pitch baits, current direction, boat handling, and how aggressive drag pressure can help anglers land more billfish and tuna. He also shares a wild story about releasing a giant blue marlin years ago near the Nipple and Elbow area. To close it out, Capt. Cody Broughton checks in from Dauphin Island with a strong inshore report, breaking down the live-croaker beach bite for speckled trout, night fishing, major bite windows, rigging details, leader choices, croaker placement, flounder, tarpon, and how long the summer beach trout pattern may last.

Can an artist from outside a community become an effective force for change—or does arriving with good intentions risk repeating the very patterns the work is meant to challenge?Bill Cleveland joins Alice Lovelace and Barbara Schaffer Bacon to examine one of community arts practice's most persistent questions: when outsiders enter a community, what allows their work to take root, and what turns a promising intervention into a brief visit—or even a source of harm? Through stories from Serbia, Atlanta, Ohio, and rural Georgia, the conversation moves beyond simple answers and into the practical ethics of entering another community's living room.Listen for three ideas that can change how artists, hosts, and funders approach community-based work:Why local knowledge and leadership must shape the work from the beginning—not merely approve it afterward.How an outside artist can sometimes become a catalyst, witness, or lightning rod when local people cannot safely raise a difficult issue themselves.Why the deepest measure of success is not the artwork left behind, but the relationships, skills, confidence, and community power that remain after the artist leaves.Join us for a candid exploration of what it means to enter with humility, listen for the truth of a place, share leadership, and leave a community more able to tell—and act upon—its own story.Notable MentionsPeopleAlice Lovelace: Poet, educator, performer, and Executive Director of ArtsXchange whose decades of community-based practice inform the episode's most vivid stories about the opportunities and risks faced by visiting artists.Barbara Schaffer Bacon: Cultural policy leader and co-founder of Animating Democracy, known for advancing ethical, reciprocal, and civically engaged arts practice.Bill Cleveland: Host of ART IS CHANGE and longtime community arts practitioner whose book Art and Upheaval examined artists working amid war, oppression, displacement, and social crisis.Dijana Milošević: Serbian theater director, activist, and co-founder of DAH Theatre, cited for describing artists resisting tyranny as citizens acting inside their own community.Slobodan Milošević: Serbian and Yugoslav political leader whose authoritarian rule and the wars surrounding Yugoslavia's breakup form the historical setting for the discussion of DAH Theatre.John O'Neal: Civil rights activist, playwright, co-founder of the Free Southern Theater, and a major developer of story-circle practice in community cultural work.Liz Lerman: Choreographer, educator, and civic arts pioneer whose residencies model inquiry, participation, and shared creative leadership.Michael Rohd: Theater-maker, facilitator, and civic-practice leader whose community residencies use creative process to support public dialogue and local problem-solving.Organizations & InitiativesCenter for the Study of Art & Community: Producer of ART IS CHANGE and a resource for arts-based community development and cultural organizing.ArtsXchange: Atlanta-area interdisciplinary arts center connecting artistic practice, community development, environmental work, and social justice.DAH Theatre Research Center: Belgrade-based theater laboratory founded during the breakup of Yugoslavia, using performance as a form of resistance, memory, and civic engagement.Urban Bush Women: Black women-led dance company and social-change organization that combines performance, artist development, education, and deep community engagement.Animating Democracy: National initiative documenting and strengthening the role of arts and culture in civic dialogue, community change, and democracy.Appalshop: Appalachian media, arts, and education organization dedicated to telling stories from within the region and challenging stereotypes through locally rooted cultural work.CETA Arts Legacy Project: Project preserving the history of federally supported artist employment under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, referenced through artists who worked in communities with unusually open-ended assignments.Events & ProgramsHurricane Katrina: The devastating 2005 Gulf Coast hurricane whose aftermath prompted many artists to seek ways to enter affected communities and help—raising difficult questions about urgency, expertise, and the impulse to parachute in.Story Circle: A structured method for sharing personal experience, discovering common ground, and grounding community work in local voices; used in the Lima, Ohio residencies discussed in the episode. (See also, John O'Neal above)Building Blocks of Effective Community Arts Practice: ART IS CHANGE conversation series examining the skills, ethics, and strategies required for effective arts-based community work.Alice Lovelace — Episode 23: Earlier podcast conversation in which Lovelace recounts in greater depth the controversy, community response, and lasting impact of her work as an outside artist in Georgia.Publications & Learning ResourcesArt and Upheaval: Artists on the World's Frontlines: Bill Cleveland's examination of artists responding to war, oppression, cultural dislocation, and community crisis in places including Serbia and Cambodia.Literature Is History: The course Alice Lovelace created for young people in rural Georgia, grounding literature in lived experience and restoring the history, skills, and cultural gifts of enslaved Africans to the community narrative.Story Circle Facilitation: A Quick Guide: Practical guide to the community story-circle method developed through Roadside Theater and Junebug Productions.Places & InstitutionsAtlanta, Georgia: Home ground for Alice Lovelace's community arts practice and a central reference point for considering the difference between working inside one's own community and entering another.Evans, Georgia: Community associated with one of Lovelace's experiences of becoming a politically targeted outside artist whose resistance helped provoke local solidarity and institutional change.Lima, Ohio: Site of artist residencies where story-circle skills remained available to the community and were reactivated years later during a local crisis.Serbia: Major case study in Cleveland's work on artists responding from within communities experiencing authoritarianism and war.Cambodia: Referenced as another setting where local artists' long-term...

The case has been marked by unusual developments. Hawk recounts the reporting that those on the trip deactivated their social media in the immediate aftermath, that the family retained attorney Benjamin Crump and arranged a second independent autopsy that was complicated by missing tissue, and that questions have been raised about the local investigation. He is careful to note that what happened is not known and that these are open questions, not conclusions. The new development is an analysis of the officially released 911 audio by an audio engineer, Janetta Brantley, whose breakdown is circulating widely on TikTok. Hawk plays her full video, in which she isolates the background of the call and offers her interpretation of what can be heard, and stresses it is her analysis. He reflects on how the interviews some participants have given could become admissible, extends his sympathy to the family, and hopes the investigation delivers answers.

Passenger rail in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama doesn't get the spotlight often, but the story behind Amtrak's new Mardi Gras service proves how much demand has been waiting on the sidelines. We sit down with Knox Ross, chairman of the Southern Rail Commission, to unpack how a three-state compact built the coalition, the funding path, and the political momentum needed to bring New Orleans to Mobile passenger trains back to the Gulf Coast after years of false starts.We get into what the Southern Rail Commission actually does day to day: stitching together state DOTs, local leaders, congressional champions, Amtrak, and freight rail operators who own the tracks. Knox explains why launching a new passenger route can feel like “almost a miracle,” from changing governors to local supermajority votes, and why persistence matters as much as any technical plan. We also talk candidly about the freight railroad reality: dispatching conflicts, liability concerns, capacity constraints, and why infrastructure upgrades like longer sidings can be the key to making passenger rail coexist with freight.If you enjoy smart, realistic conversations about passenger rail in the United States, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review with the corridor you want to see connected next.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

We disappeared for a while, and when we finally hit record again we knew we had to come back with something that actually means something. This drop is that lost conversation we filmed with BC, a true Southeast skateboarding original with stories that stretch from Louisiana flatground to Pensacola indoor parks to the Jacksonville scene and Kona Skatepark energy.BC breaks down the early days in a place where you had to push forever, then the moment everything changes when you see an ollie and can't stop chasing it. We get into classic parking lot skate demos, building ramps way too big when you're way too young, and why the best skate sessions feel like you stepped out of real life for a minute. He also gives his own definition of “Search For Animal Chin” that hits harder than any trivia: it's the feeling of being fully locked in with your friends and your board, and spending the rest of your life trying to find that feeling again.From there we bounce through skate travel and skate history, including San Francisco routes, Chinatown, and skating the China Banks, plus the behind-the-scenes reality of keeping scenes alive before social media. BC talks SCU TV and South Coast Uprising, trading tapes, highlighting skaters with real stoke, and the way skateboarding can hand you friendships, work, purpose, and even your family. There are also some wild stunt stories, tour miles, and a few throwback gifts that'll make any skater nostalgic.If you care about skateboarding culture, DIY skateparks, Florida skate history, Gulf Coast scenes, and what keeps older skaters rolling, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a skate friend, and leave us a review with the most “Animal Chin” moment you've ever had.

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report recaps the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo with Capt. Tanner Deas, Capt. Branden Collier, and Dr. Dylan Kiene. The roundtable covers a huge weekend of inshore, offshore, and live-release fishing, including Branden and Tanner's 101-flounder day, tough Saturday inshore conditions, and how low oxygen, nip tides, jubilees, wind-blown banks, and water stratification may have affected the bite. Dr. Dylan Kiene brings the fisheries-science perspective from the judge's table, breaking down the speckled trout, flounder, redfish, and live-weigh-in categories, including the success of the new live triple tail category and the value of tagging healthy fish for future research. The crew also talks through the Gulf-wide cobia and triple tail tagging project, acoustic tags, high-dollar reward tags, and what anglers should do if they catch a tagged fish. Offshore, Capt. Branden Collier explains how he targeted big red snapper and mangrove snapper with heavy tackle, big live baits, strong drag, and structure-focused fishing during one of the Gulf Coast's biggest fishing weekends.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Giacomo "Jack" Prandelli, Founder of The Merchant's News Substack. The Merchant's News covers oil, gas, LNG, metals, and geopolitics, with a particular focus on global trade flows, commodity markets, and the macro forces shaping energy prices. Jack is a former commodities trader who has built a large global following on LinkedIn and X through his data-driven analysis of rapidly evolving geopolitical events and energy markets. We were pleased to visit with Jack to discuss the Strait of Hormuz crisis, the resilience of global oil markets, and the evolving geopolitical forces reshaping the global energy landscape. In our conversation, Jack explains why he believes oil prices have been far more resilient than many expected despite the Strait of Hormuz crisis. He walks us through a few charts and outlines how coordinated releases from strategic petroleum reserves, a stronger-than-anticipated recovery in global oil flows, and increased production from the U.S. and Middle East producers helped offset supply disruptions. We discuss the evolving balance of power in global energy markets, including the growing influence of U.S. production, China's role as the world's largest oil importer, and what the conflict revealed about OPEC, strategic petroleum reserves, and the resilience of the global energy system. Jack outlines why refining, not crude supply, has emerged as the market's primary constraint, how Russian refinery attacks and China's inventory strategy have reshaped global energy flows, and why he believes the market remains structurally bullish over the longer term. We also explore the shift toward energy security, deglobalization, and the changing geopolitical landscape as countries increasingly prioritize control over energy, refining, and commodity supply chains. We greatly appreciate Jack for joining us and sharing his insights. To start the show, Mike Bradley noted that fixed income markets continue to trend higher, with the 10-year Treasury yield rising to ~4.62% and the 30-year Treasury yield reaching ~5.14%. Both benchmarks are nearing the peak levels seen during the height of the Iran war, highlighting bond market concerns around inflation. On the broader equity market front, the S&P 500 was up just under 1% for the week to date, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was Tuesday's standout performer, gaining ~400 points on strength in industrial stocks, led by 3M, whose shares surged ~8%. Several high-profile companies are scheduled to report results this week, including Alphabet (Google), Tesla, IBM, Intel, and NextEra Energy. On the oil market front, Brent crude was trading at ~$91/bbl, up ~$3/bbl for the week and ~$15/bbl over the past two weeks. Notably, Brent settled above $90/bbl for the first time since early June. Mike noted that the energy complex is wrestling more with global refining constraints than a global crude oil supply shortage. As evidence, U.S. Gulf Coast refining crack spreads have risen to ~$70/bbl, up from ~$60/bbl three weeks ago and from ~$25/bbl prior to the onset of the Iran war. He concluded by noting that investors are turning their attention to second-quarter earnings across the oilfield services sector, with Halliburton kicking off the group's reporting season on Tuesday. Several other key service providers are scheduled to report this week, including Weatherford International, Liberty Energy, Oceaneering International, and SLB. The broader energy sector will also be active, with earnings expected from EQT Corporation, Range Resources, Equinor, Kinder Morgan, Ovintiv, TotalEnergies, and Repsol. Veriten Senior Advisor Deborah Byers also joined and added her perspectives and questions throughout the conversation.

Over the past 18 months, Gulf Coast dock capacity capable of handling either LPG or ethane has grown significantly. It's something relatively new called “flex capacity,” and it's a darned good thing it's online. Without it, both LPG and ethane export capacity would already be maxed out.

Paul Skalnik was a cop turned con artist turned jailhouse informant. Over two decades, he provided testimony or information in more than 40 criminal cases, trading confessions he claimed to have overheard for reduced sentences and early release. Prosecutors in Florida's Pinellas County knew what he was. They used him anyway. Four of the men he testified against were sent to death row. At least one of them, Jim Dailey, is almost certainly innocent — and after more than 30 years, he's still there.Journalist Pam Colloff spent 20 years at Texas Monthly before joining ProPublica and the New York Times Magazine, where her investigation into Skalnik won the National Magazine Award and helped halt an execution. In this episode, Pam tells the story of a con man who married nine women, posed as an oilman, a lawyer, and an FBI agent — and discovered that his most profitable scam was the criminal justice system itself.Pam Colloff's new book is "Catch the Devil: A True Story of Murder, Deception, and Injustice on the Gulf Coast" https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593230868?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallbackSubscribe to our newsletter: ⁠https://jedlipinski.substack.com/⁠ Connect with Jed Lipinski:⁠https://www.instagram.com/gonesouthpodcast/⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/gonesouthpodcast/⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jed-lipinski/

Jim dives deep into the shadowy world of the Dixie Mafia—the ruthless Southern crime network that terrorized the Gulf Coast with drugs, gambling, corruption, and murder. From their strongholds in Biloxi, Mississippi, and operations reaching into Louisiana, these loosely connected criminals operated with impunity for decades. At the heart of the story is one of their most infamous schemes: the "Lonely Hearts" scam run straight from Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. Dixie Mafia kingpin Kirksey Nix Jr., serving life for murder, orchestrated the massive extortion racket from behind bars. The money flowed through a Biloxi law firm, but when funds went missing, Nix's paranoia led to a deadly betrayal. His alleged associates, including lawyer-turned-mayor Pete Halat, allegedly pointed the finger at Halat's law partner, Circuit Court Judge Vincent Sherry, and his wife, prominent Biloxi city councilwoman Margaret Sherry. On September 14, 1987, a hitman executed the couple in their own home in a cold-blooded double murder ordered from Angola. We'll unpack the Louisiana ties—the web of corruption that protected the Dixie Mafia, the investigation that finally brought down key players like Nix, Halat, and others, and the shocking betrayals that exposed it all. This is a tale of greed, deception, prison power, and how one scam shattered lives on the Gulf Coast.Chapters:04:55 Crime and Corruption09:02 Carnival Massacre20:27 Violence Expands24:45 Gillich's Rise25:55 Lonely Hearts Scam34:11 Murder Over Missing Money36:28 The Sherry Double Murder43:16 Federal Trial Unfolds47:33 Aftermath and LegacyExposed Listener Deals!

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 07/11/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth and neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS This week, we analyze the global enforcement of institutional deception, judicial manipulation, and targeted state terror: 1. **The Nolan Wells Horn Island Tragedy:** We dissect the horrific case of 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells, found dead on Mississippi's Gulf Coast after an outing where he was the only Black individual present. We deconstruct the deceptive media framing and law enforcement tactics attempting to label the death an accidental drowning, analyzing how the system coordinates to insulate surviving white peers from accountability. #WhiteFriends 2. **The Sabotage of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA):** Marking the 60th anniversary of this landmark transparency law, we look at the federal government's aggressive campaign to block document disclosure. We link this structural obstruction directly to Gus T's recent, stalled FOIA requests regarding the surveillance and tracking of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing and Neely Fuller Jr., revealing how the state systematically hides records to suppress counter-racist intelligence. 3. **Exoneration Hypocrisy and Judicial Realities:** We analyze Kansas City and NPR reports detailing the extreme structural hurdles wrongfully convicted inmates face when trying to access basic post-conviction resources. We contrast this systemic stagnation with the legacy of privileged black male Philando Castile a decade after his murder, demonstrating how the legal apparatus protects its agents while actively denying restoration to victims of judicial warfare. 4. **Chemical Contamination and Narrative Warfare:** We decode global reports—from the suppression of "super" cannabis imports entering England to the rolling back of firearms regulations and weaponized accusations of "extreme political activism" targeting the Smithsonian. We apply counter-racist logic to show how legislative rollbacks, chemical distribution, and cultural propaganda are managed concurrently to maintain structural dominance over non-white populations. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #CounterRacism #MediaLiteracy #NolanWells #TheCOWS INVEST in The COWS: - PayPal: [http://paypal.me/TheCOWS](http://paypal.me/TheCOWS) - Cash App: [https://cash.app/$TheCOWS](https://cash.app/$TheCOWS) #SurviveYourShift #SafetyFirst #TheCOWS17Years #CounterRacism Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report is hosted by Capt. Tanner Deas of Dauphin Island Fishing, with reports from Capt. Derek Rogers of Southside Fishing Company, Capt. Kendall Annan of Gulf Rebel Charters, and Riley Ludlam of Dauphin Island Fishing Charters. Capt. Derek kicks things off with a Dauphin Island inshore report, covering a strong speckled trout bite, how he's using live shrimp, croakers, slip corks, free-lined baits, Carolina rigs, and plastics, and why small rigging changes can make a big difference when trout get picky. He also breaks down redfish, flounder, and triple tail tactics, including live pogies, dead shrimp, structure, dirty water, and why some bigger triple tail are starting to get more stubborn as summer pressure builds. Capt. Kendall follows with an offshore report from Gulf Rebel Charters, where snapper, vermillion snapper, amberjack, mahi, wahoo, Spanish mackerel, and king mackerel are all part of the current pattern. He explains why fresh bait, clean rigs, long leaders, drift lines, trolling spreads, and paying attention to small details can be the difference between a solid trip and a great one. Riley closes it out with a beach report from Dauphin Island, where dirty water, sharks, catfish, and changing surf conditions have made the trout bite tougher, but flounder have been saving trips. He breaks down how he's finding flounder around structure, why moving water has been key, and why Z-Man plastics, Eye Strike Texas Eye jig heads, and Pro-Cure continue to be his go-to flounder setup.
