This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers the late-summer transition along the Alabama Gulf Coast, from improving surf conditions and flounder on the beach to light-tackle billfishing, snook, tuna, amberjack, and bluewater live-bait tactics. Butch Thierry opens the show with Tony Emmons of South Alabama Surf Fishing, who reports cleaner water, more manageable mornings, improving beach action, and a growing mix of surf species as fall gets closer. Tony breaks down how he's targeting flounder from the beach with quarter-ounce jig heads, tandem rigs, new penny plastics, and long casts around the second sandbar, troughs, and points. He also talks through the return of pompano, whiting, black drum, redfish, bluefish, and other surf species, including when to fish close, when to fish behind the bar, how to read troughs and sandbar edges, and why fresh shrimp, Fishbites, small pyramid weights, and moving water can all matter. Chris Vecsey of J&M Tackle follows with an Orange Beach report covering light-tackle billfishing, gag grouper interest, blackfin tuna, mahi, wahoo, trout, redfish, snook, and inshore topwater fishing. Chris explains how he's using teasers, squid chains, dredges, pitch baits, and a light-hook spread for sailfish and other billfish, then shifts inshore to talk about snook tagging, larger snook sightings, high-current trout lights, topwaters, wake baits, grass lines, LY schools, and why bait movement is one of the biggest keys right now. Capt. King Marchand of Capt. Mike's Fishing closes the fishing reports with a deep offshore update from the Lady Ann, including a 209-pound yellowfin tuna, more quality tuna, live chumming, crazy fish, circle hooks, fluorocarbon leader, braid, FG knots, drag management, amberjack, snapper, and whale shark fishing. King explains how he finds catchable tuna in the water column, why bigger yellowfin may need more live chum to fire up, how leader size and bait behavior change the bite, and why live bait remains so important for both tuna and amberjack. The episode also includes a sponsor spotlight with Ultra Wash Mobile, covering drone washing, soft washing, Gulf Coast salt and mildew, commercial property cleaning, and how waterfront homes, condos, marinas, and businesses can better protect their exterior surfaces.

Geopolitics drives mineral markets. Ed Conwayjoins Argus to explore trade wars, rare earths, and if the West can rebuild critical mineral supply chains. The US Gulf Coast gasoline market has undergone notable shifts in 2026, driven by the lasting effects of the US-Iran conflict, changing domestic fuel movements and the seasonal transition to higher-RVP winter gasoline specifications. In this episode of Driving Discussions, Argus experts examine how the temporary Jones Act waiver reshaped Gulf Coast gasoline and blendstock flows, redirecting volumes from the Bahamas to direct shipments between US ports and increasing movements to both the West Coast and Atlantic Coast. The discussion also explores how tightening inventories, strong export demand and ongoing supply concerns have continued to support gasoline prices, even as the summer driving season comes to an end. As the market moves through the fall RVP transition, our specialists analyze evolving blending economics, changing demand for key gasoline components and the supply factors that market participants should watch in the months ahead. Key topics covered: How the US-Iran conflict and Jones Act waiver reshaped Gulf Coast gasoline and blendstock trade flows Why Florida and the Atlantic Coast have become key drivers of Gulf Coast gasoline demand The supply, inventory and export trends supporting gasoline prices despite seasonal demand declines How the fall transition to higher-RVP gasoline is changing blending economics and component demand What refiners, traders and market participants should monitor as regional supply balances evolve Tune in for expert analysis of the market dynamics shaping the US Gulf Coast gasoline sector and the outlook for pricing, trade flows and blending economics heading into the winter gasoline season.

Betsy Harris was born healthy in October 2023. By four months her parents had noticed one leg looked different, and the answer seemed simple: a completely dislocated hip nobody caught at birth. She was casted, she started physical therapy, and the milestones still didn't come. At fourteen months her orthopedic surgeon suggested genetic testing. The results took until August, and the neurologist in New Orleans came back with congenital muscular dystrophy, a rare neuromuscular disorder affecting nerves, muscles and brain. She didn't know of another child anywhere with Betsy's specific mutation. Amanda Harris works in medicine and had never heard of it. Within two months, she and Tyler had started a nonprofit. Tyler and Amanda walk Andrew through what happens after a diagnosis with no treatment behind it. They explain how a few hundred emails built Betsy a medical team running from Boston Children's to the University of Iowa, how researchers at Atrium Health are breeding mice with Betsy's exact mutation so a therapy can finally be tested, and how Facebook groups led them to about ten families worldwide, including a mother in Ireland who'd been alone with this for five years. They also talk about the elephant sound Betsy makes when she's happy, which other CMD kids make too, and which became the logo. Their first Elephant Run at Jones Park raised over $70,000. The inaugural Fight CMD Golf Classic is November 16 at Windance Country Club in Gulfport, with registration at fightcmd.org under Get Involved. 3 Key Takeaways 1. The Delayed Diagnosis A dislocated hip caught at four months looked like the whole explanation, and it cost them time. Betsy was casted, treated and put in therapy, and the missed milestones got written off as a consequence of the hip. It took until fourteen months and a surgeon's suggestion of genetic testing to find out something else was going on. 2. Nobody Is Coming Pharmaceutical companies don't develop drugs for ultra-rare disease, so the Harrises were told plainly that there was nothing available, no one knew how long Betsy would live, and the only certainty was that it would get worse. That's the moment the nonprofit starts. Fight CMD exists because the alternative was waiting. 3. The Community Is the Research Budget Over $70,000 came in at a first-year 5K, from a Gulf Coast town where fifty-plus businesses signed on. That money is what funds the mouse model at Atrium Health, and the mouse model is what makes testing a therapy possible. If it works, it's the first therapeutic approach ever attempted for this form of CMD.

No smell. No warning. Just a beach full of people who start coughing at the same time, grab their towels, and leave. That's red tide, and it feels completely random until you know what's actually happening in the water. Karenia brevis, the algae behind it, produces a toxin called brevetoxin that rides the wind and waves into the air along the shoreline, which is why people can start coughing with no visible sign anything's wrong. The 2017 to 2019 Southwest and Southeast Florida bloom cost the region an estimated $2.7 billion, mostly in tourism losses, and it wasn't a freak event. Follow the water back far enough and it traces to nitrogen and phosphorus flowing out of the Kissimmee River basin, through Lake Okeechobee, and down the Caloosahatchee River into the Gulf, fueling the same algae that's always been there into a much bigger, longer bloom. Here's the turn: this is trackable. Mote Marine Laboratory's Beach Conditions Reporting System lets anyone on the Gulf Coast check named beaches for red tide conditions before they ever leave the house, the same way you'd check a weather forecast. This episode also connects back to the nutrient-pollution mechanism from the "nature's kidneys" episode with Adam Langley, and lands on one thing you can actually do this season. Takeaways: Red tide is caused by Karenia brevis, an algae that produces brevetoxin, a toxin that becomes airborne in sea spray and can cause coughing and respiratory irritation, worse for people with asthma but capable of affecting anyone near the water. The 2017–2019 Southwest and Southeast Florida red tide bloom cost the region an estimated $2.7 billion, mostly in tourism-dependent business losses. Red tide blooms are naturally occurring, but excess nitrogen and phosphorus flowing from the Kissimmee Basin through Lake Okeechobee and down the Caloosahatchee River make them bigger, longer, and more frequent. A legally mandated program has cut phosphorus leaving Everglades-area farmland by roughly 55 percent long-term, against a 25 percent legal minimum, but the broader system still isn't meeting the water quality standard the Gulf and estuaries need. Mote Marine Laboratory's free Beach Conditions Reporting System lets Gulf Coast beachgoers check red tide conditions beach by beach before they go.

1849 CLAUDE MONETCONTENTS FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-10-2026Russian Election Strategy And European SecurityAnatol Lieven notes the Kremlin closely monitors legislative elections, banning opposition parties to preempt anti-war sentiment while relying on well-paid volunteers rather than unpopular mass conscription. Meanwhile, CIA Director John Ratcliffe visited Moscow, signaling possible shifts in diplomatic representation to explore war termination talks with Russian leadership. Discussions encompass discreet Russian assistance to Iran, hybrid warfare tactics in Europe, and mutual restraint among major global powers to avoid escalating into nuclear conflict. Concurrently, Great Britain faces severe military budget constraints, leaving its reserve forces underfunded and reducing its active fleet to just five operational warships. Political opposition across Europe further threatens long-term financial backing for Ukraine. (1)SpaceX Environmental Waivers For Louisiana PortDoug Messier reports SpaceX has proposed constructing Starbase Louisiana, a massive spaceport covering 125,000 acres along a vulnerable Gulf Coast ecosystem. The proposed facility plans to feature ten launchpads arranged in five clusters, natural gas extraction operations, employee housing, and a deepwater port facility to support thousands of annual Starship Super Heavy launches. To expedite development, the Department of Transportation proposed waiving twelve federal environmental protection laws, including the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act. While government officials argue these exemptions remove bureaucratic obstacles to supercharge commercial space exploration, conservation advocates warn that waiving regulatory oversight threatens fragile coastal habitats and likely violates statutory protections. (2)Analyzing Family Subsidies And National DebtVeronique de Rugy analyzes Vice President JD Vance's policy proposal to extend federal Child Care and Development Fund subsidies to stay-at-home parents. De Rugy contends that low-income single mothers cannot afford to leave the workforce, meaning the subsidies would primarily benefit higher-income households or families who had already chosen stay-at-home care. International examples in France, Norway, and Finland demonstrate that similar stay-at-home subsidies failed to reverse declining national fertility rates, benefiting higher-educated mothers instead. Furthermore, de Rugy criticizes proposals offering direct 5,000-dollar payments to citizens, warning that funding such initiatives through tariffs is financially unviable and would expand the national debt by over 1.35 trillion dollars. (3)Political Assets Intelligence Networks Financial TiesCraig Unger, author of American Kompromat, House of Trump, House of Putin, House of Bush, House of Saud, and Den of Spies, discusses intelligence allegations surrounding Donald Trump, evaluating claims by former Kazakh security official Alnur Mussayev that Trump served as a Russian intelligence asset. Unger distinguishes between formal intelligence agents and political assets, who may act as useful contacts or unknowing participants, while pointing out procedural irregularities regarding specific KGB directorates. He questions sending real estate representatives or political appointees rather than seasoned diplomats to negotiate complex conflicts in Moscow and Gaza. Unger also details historical Saudi political connections, noting how members of the Bin Laden family were flown out of American airspace immediately following the 9/11 attacks through private financial partnerships involving the Bush family and the Carlyle Group. (4)rones Target Russian Space Program InfrastructureAnatoly Zak and David Livingston: Zak reports on recent Ukrainian drone strikes against vital Russian space infrastructure, including the Progress aircraft company in Samara and the Plesetsk launch site. These targeted attacks aim to impede the manufacture of Soyuz rockets and delay the deployment of Russia's Rassvet satellite constellation, intended as a military equivalent to Starlink. While Soyuz and Angara rocket systems carry essential surveillance payloads for the Russian military, early Rassvet satellites have encountered operational difficulties, failing to reach intended orbits and risking atmospheric re-entry. Additionally, economic strain from wartime spending and budget deficits threatens Roscosmos, impacting future space station development following the retirement of the International Space Station. (5)Literary Evolution Of Novelist George SandFiona Sampson, author of Becoming George, explores the life and literary legacy of Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, who became the pioneering nineteenth-century French author George Sand. Sampson traces Sand's upbringing at Nohant, marked by childhood grief, an aristocratic paternal lineage blended with working-class maternal roots, and a formative convent education in Paris. After escaping a brief, unhappy marriage to Casimir Dudevant, Sand established independence in Paris, initially collaborating with Jules Sandeau before achieving immediate solo acclaim with her debut novels Indiana and Lélia. Her writings broke ground by depicting female interiority, challenging traditional marriage institutions, and infusing progressive political idealism into intimate social narratives amidst turbulent French political eras. (6)SecurityDynamics Across Latin American NationsEvan Ellis details US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's diplomatic tour across Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru to strengthen regional security partnerships. In Colombia, President de la Espriella has renewed security alignment with Washington, exited China's Belt and Road Initiative, and sought aid against Venezuelan transnational crime networks. Ecuador's President Noboa secured US anti-gang assistance and maritime vessels to counter expanding narco-trafficking violence. Meanwhile, Peru balances US counter-narcotics cooperation against deep-seated Chinese investments in mining, telecommunications, and the Chancay port. Ellis further examines judicial corruption in Brazil ahead of presidential elections, severe power grid collapses in Cuba and Venezuela, and potential tech investments in Argentinaunder President Milei.

This special episode of the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report looks back at some of the best conversations and most useful fishing intel from the summer season along the Alabama Gulf Coast. With Butch Thierry out this week, the show pulls together highlights from recent reports covering inshore, nearshore, offshore, and surf fishing, with practical tactics from captains and contributors who have been on the water through heat, dirty water, changing tides, and late-summer transitions. The episode covers a strong mangrove snapper bite around Orange Beach structure, docks, rocks, bridges, jetties, and deeper current, including bait selection, Carolina rigs, circle hooks, reef endorsements, and why croakers, spots, LYs, and small pogies can outproduce shrimp when pinfish are thick. It also revisits tarpon movement, tide-line and triple tail fishing, how to read color changes and offshore satellite imagery, and what anglers should look for when structure, current, bait, and clean water line up. The show also includes offshore and reef-fishing highlights, with reports on swordfish, squid and octopus baits, bait rigging, full-moon swordfish action, late-season beeliners, triggerfish, mahi, reef scouting, diving, thermoclines, oxygen changes, and how experienced captains use bottom type, bait presence, visibility, and fish quality to decide where to spend their time. Inshore and onshore segments round out the episode with eastern shore pier fishing, Fairhope Rattles, popping corks, live shrimp, flounder around pilings, Gulf Coast surf trout, pompano, redfish, beach troughs, fly fishing, and why small changes in current, bait, and structure can concentrate fish in surprisingly tight areas. The episode closes with one of the summer's best offshore stories: Capt. Myles Colley's account of a giant blue marlin caught years ago between the Nipple and the Elbow. It is a fitting end to a summer recap built around the kind of details, stories, and hard-earned fishing lessons that make the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report valuable week after week.

North America is suddenly facing a wave of new oil pipeline proposals—but which projects actually make commercial sense, and which are being driven by energy security and geopolitics?On this episode of Oil Ground Up, Rory Johnston is joined by Rob Wilson, President of East Daley Analytics, for a deep dive into the rapidly changing North American oil infrastructure landscape. They begin with the latest resurrection of Keystone XL and explain how the proposed Prairie Connector and Bridger Pipeline system could move more Canadian crude through Cushing and ultimately toward the U.S. Gulf Coast. Wilson explains why the project has commercial backing—and how adding more Canadian heavy crude could displace lighter U.S. barrels and create new infrastructure constraints elsewhere in the system. The conversation expands into the growing competition between commercially driven pipelines and strategically motivated projects. Rory and Rob discuss Trans Mountain expansion opportunities, Enbridge Mainline optimization, a potential new Canadian West Coast pipeline, and whether Canada can realistically produce enough incremental oil to fill all the proposed capacity.They also examine the return of Venezuelan heavy crude and whether it poses a meaningful threat to Canadian barrels in U.S. refineries. Wilson argues that existing pipeline infrastructure makes Canadian crude difficult to displace in the Midwest, while Venezuelan supply is more likely to compete with Mexican, Colombian and Middle Eastern heavy barrels on the Gulf Coast. Finally, the discussion turns to the Permian Basin, where Rob sees a potentially overlooked problem developing. While enormous amounts of natural gas takeaway capacity have been built, crude pipeline additions have lagged. If high oil prices accelerate Permian production, existing pipelines could approach their limits and create a new crude egress bottleneck as early as 2027.

Jonathan Ames returns to the podcast to discuss his latest novel, A Past Without Pictures, which hits shelves on September 8th. He has long been one of my favorite writers, and in this episode, we chat about the book's path from Los Angeles down to the Gulf Coast of Alabama. We discuss how protagonist Maria Cole reflects the sharp, feral edge of the LA coyotes Ames sometimes sees on his walks, as well as her origin story as a quick one-line police officer in the first Happy Doll novel. Ames also opens up about the six-year path to adapting the novel Kockroach for the screen, a project recently filmed in Australia starring Chris Hemsworth, Taron Egerton, Zazie Beetz, Alec Baldwin, and Rachel Sennott.We also spend some time talking about the craft itself and how to navigate the mental noise that comes with creating. Jonathan shares how patience can serve as an antidote to creative anxiety, reminding us that showing up at the desk every day brings a grounded reward that matters far more than external timelines. If you grab the hardcover of A Past Without Pictures, you'll find a great bonus in the back—the first two chapters of the upcoming fourth Happy Doll book. Be sure to grab a copy from your local independent bookstore on release day!Thanks for listening!KylerEpisode Links:Purchase A Past Without PicturesVisit SaltLakeDirt.com for more interviews Intro and outro music courtesy of Hot House West.• Vienna Waltz composed by Nathan Royal, performed by HHW.

ne night in the Texas darkness, Chester Moore found himself looking through the sights of a rifle at an animal he had every opportunity to shoot. He didn't pull the trigger. What Chester believes stood in front of him that night was a red wolf—an animal officially declared extinct in the wild across its historic Texas range decades ago. In this episode of Dark Outdoors®, Chester tells the story of that encounter and others he has had with mysterious wild canines over the years. Some looked remarkably like the red wolves that once roamed Texas and Louisiana. Others were harder to explain. The official story of the red wolf is complicated by hybridization with coyotes, disappearing populations and decades of debate over what exactly constitutes a red wolf. But what happens when animals resembling those supposedly lost wolves continue turning up in unexpected places? This is a journey into the swamps, forests and backroads of the Gulf Coast in search of one of America's most mysterious predators—and an exploration of the possibility that what people are seeing in the darkness isn't always what we've been told should be there. Sometimes extinction leaves behind ghosts. And sometimes those ghosts have four legs.

In this episode of Diverse Voices Book Review, contributor Tayyba Kanwal interviews Hasan Dudar, author of Carryout.  Carryout is a collection of linked short stories rooted in the Arab diaspora in Toledo, Ohio. In this conversation, Tayyba speaks with Hasan about how these vivid, intimate stories about an immigrant family from Palestine and Lebanon brim with humor, wit and tenderness, even as they grapple with the disorientation of displacement. They travel across generations, intrigued by how an evolving sense of identity and home complicates what surviving and especially thriving means for these vibrant characters. Hasan Dudar is an award-winning writer, documentary producer and a graduate of the Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. His fiction has appeared in journals such as Gulf Coast and Pinch, and his reporting has appeared in various publications including USA Today, Bloomberg News, and Aljazeera America.Follow Diverse Voices Book Review on Social Media: Facebook - @diversevoicesbookreview Instagram - @diverse_voices_book_review Bluesky - @diversevoicesbooks.bsky.social

Razor Wire News hosts Fitz and McShane recap a chaotic week mixing major geopolitical narratives with bizarre tabloid stories and show banter. Fitz wishes his mother a happy birthday, while they preview topics including a Venezuela oil deal, renaming Lake Ontario as “Lake of America,” and intensified China-related narratives (election manipulation, audio hijacking, bot farms, and data-center issues). They discuss U.S.–Canada tariff disputes, claiming longstanding Canadian tariffs are higher than U.S. increases, and suggest Alberta may separate from Canada due to oil restrictions. They argue the Venezuela deal undercuts China and Russia, could help refill the SPR, and better matches Gulf Coast refinery needs, though they disagree on near-term gas-price impacts and note U.S. infrastructure limits. They cover claims the FBI eliminated a 1.8 million DNA-forensics backlog but question how and what it means for investigations. The hosts react positively to reports of tax crackdowns targeting George Soros nonprofits, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and CAIR, while noting Scott Bessent's past ties to Soros. Other topics include Portland Antifa labeled domestic terrorists, a Tibet–Nepal glacier flood disaster with large death and missing counts, and skepticism toward climate-change framing. Lighter segments include beer reviews (a disappointing pumpkin-spice scotch ale, Dragon's Milk Coconut Rum Barrel Reserve, and a Russian Imperial stout), a “fart corner” classroom story, a Los Angeles proposal for homeless sexual-relief clinics, masking hours at San Francisco's Exploratorium, Pennsylvania Gov. Shapiro's disputed measles-death claims, cosmic-radiation links to flight attendant breast cancer and weakened magnetosphere concerns, and a debate over human pheromones and “pheromone maxing.” Jefe joins for rapid-fire questions, roulette anecdotes, and a “farm report” on unusual foods eaten worldwide.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

Two listeners. Two hauntings that weren't asking to be heard, they were asking to be let in.Callum lives alone in an 1890s Aberdeen tenement when the knocking starts: always three slow knocks, always on the internal hallway wall with nothing behind it. It only knocks when he's in the hall and it seems to want him to answer. One night he knocks back. It replies instantly, right under his hand. Then the knocking begins to move through the flat, until it's behind his headboard in a room it had never touched.Then Renata and her husband buy an 1890s house in Galveston, and the elderly seller leaves them with four words: "Don't move the mirror." The figures never come from the mirror, they step through every other doorway in the house. Until the night her baby son screams at the glass, and for a second she sees a reflected hallway with extra doors that aren't in her house.Producer Dom unpacks the darker folklore: the Scottish "knocker at the wa'" that must be invited across, the "following" that leaves the wall and goes where you go, and the Gulf Coast "passway" pinned shut beneath a mirror that doesn't reflect a room, it holds one.What happens when answering back is the one thing you were never meant to do?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

I managed to keep Renee Miller Helmer sitting still long enough talking about family, faith, Parkinson's, directional drilling, the Permian, Cajun cooking, whiskey, entrepreneurship, the Gulf Coast and why the strongest relationships in oil and gas need more people face to face. Her story did not start with an executive title. In 1994, Renee was teaching eighth grade religion at Our Lady of Fatima School in Lafayette when she entered oilfield sales. She later met Richard Helmer of Helmer Directional Drilling, became a wife and stepmother on the same day, and spent the next eighteen years raising their family. Richard's Parkinson's diagnosis in 2016 changed their lives, and by 2018 Renee was back inside Helmer Directional in an executive and business role, learning mud motors, MWD, well planning, BHAs, torque and angle building so she could represent the company credibly. From there, in her words, she “drove my happy ass to Midland by myself.” West Texas added another layer to her education. Technical knowledge mattered, but so did mentors, meals, rig cookouts, showing up repeatedly and earning the right to have a conversation. Renee talks about building her own table in the Permian and using that table to explain why Helmer's directional drilling experience in Louisiana and the Gulf could have value in West Texas. That work grew from surface opportunities into intermediate work and three full well pads. COVID forced another reinvention. Renee built Helmer OPS, a business development consulting firm focused on new technology, rebranding companies and helping startups get grounded in real customer relationships. She also launched What Will Renee Say Today?, a podcast born from a season when she did not need another person telling her how strong she was. She needed empathy, understanding and somewhere honest to talk about what life had become. That honesty is why this conversation is worth watching. Renee says “the oil field will humble you,” and that it can make you “drill deep within yourself to find your black gold.” She is talking about family, grief, caregiving, faith, leadership, rebuilding and finding abilities you did not know you had until life required them. On September 23 at 5:00 PM, Renee is bringing Mrs. Helmer's Whiskey Wednesday to Brenner's on the Bayou in Houston, where she plans to launch her speaking work around the same relationship philosophy she has practiced for years. Brenner's is creating a specialty drink for the evening called Black Gold, with whiskey, activated charcoal, gold flakes and a few surprises.

Family Ministries intern Morgan Garrett builds this sermon around a childhood neighbor, a pastor named Paul who Morgan knew only as a warm, playful presence, never once talking theology, until learning after his death that he'd led a Gulf Coast diocese through the recovery from Hurricane Katrina. From there, Morgan turns to 1 John's claim that no one has seen God, and asks how God's love becomes visible anyway: through the body, through incarnation, and through a children's book about a village with no windows, where God turns out to live in the space between people. It's a gentle case for the old phrase "preach the gospel at all times, use words when necessary," landing, unexpectedly, by way of Dolly Parton. Sermon date: August 30, 2026

693. Part 2 of our conversation with Patricia Knight Meyer about her adoption. In her gripping memoir, Wonderland: Memoir of a Black Market Adoption, Patricia unravels the complex and harrowing story of her origins within a illegal adoption ring, exploring the deep psychological ripple effects of a childhood built on hidden truths. Raised under the shadow of secrecy, Meyer masterfully weaves personal memory, investigative persistence, and raw emotional vulnerability to illuminate how illicit adoptions break identity apart and how truth can ultimately piece it back together. Her voice brings vital light to the silenced histories of black market adoptees, offering listeners a compelling exploration of belonging, family ties, and the relentless search for self-discovery.

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers the late-August transition across the Alabama Gulf Coast, from white marlin and sailfish offshore to mangrove snapper, bridge redfish, wade-fishing trout, white trout, flounder, and improving reef conditions. Butch Thierry is joined by Angelo DePaola, who opens the show with a look at Alabama's growing light-tackle billfish fishery and why September and October could be special months offshore. Capt. Ben Knight of Great Southern Fishing Charters kicks off the reports from Orange Beach, where mangrove snapper have been one of the most consistent late-summer bites around docks, rocks, jetties, bridge structure, and deeper current. He explains why croakers, spots, LYs, and small pogies can outproduce shrimp, and how the same Carolina-rig setup can lead to bonus flounder, redfish, and jack crevalle. Capt. Bobby Abruscato of A-Team Fishing follows with a Mississippi Sound and Dauphin Island report focused on speckled trout, wade fishing, Slick Juniors, popping corks, shrimp activity, white trout, flounder, and redfish. Bobby breaks down why hard bottom, grass, shell, bait, fish slicks, stealth, and boat positioning matter so much this time of year. The episode also includes a sponsor spotlight with Daniel and Ed Bejrowski of Slipski, who talk with Joe Baya about aluminum dock and boat-cover systems built for Gulf Coast conditions. Capt. Kendall Annan of Gulf Rebel Charters closes the show with an offshore report covering red snapper, triggerfish, beeliners, amberjack, grouper, Spanish and king mackerel, cobia, wahoo, dolphin, and tuna prospects, along with what he learns from diving and scouting reefs late in the season.

Why is everyone mad at Kolohe Andino? This week on Pinch My Salt, Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan break down the Kolohe Andino drama, the backlash inside surf culture, his comments about the modern surf industry, and why some surfers are questioning the former Target and Nike-sponsored pro surfer's new direction. We get into Kolohe Andino's surf film, the criticism that it was heavily inspired by an older Joe G. surf movie, the “core lord” complaints Sterling says started coming in, and the bigger question: can a surfer who benefited from huge mainstream sponsorships now criticize what surfing has become?From Kolohe Andino, Target, Nike and surf industry politics to Tom Curren, Kelly Slater, Jamie O'Brien, John John Florence, Dane Reynolds, surf brands, pro surfer sponsorships, surf films, surf media, vlogging and the loss of mystery in surfing, this episode gets into what “core” even means anymore. Sterling and Ryan debate whether Kolohe is being hypocritical, whether the surf world is being too hard on him, and whether he's actually one of the few surfers trying to bring creativity, style and real surf culture back.The boys also get into Tom Curren's legendary surf aura, why so many modern pro surfers feel overly branded, the rise (and possible death) of the term “core lord,” Gen Z surf culture, social media algorithms, surfing vlog content, and whether pro surfers should control their own careers instead of relying completely on surf brands.Then things go completely off the rails.Sterling discovers he may be becoming the Tony Hawk of surfing, the guys talk Kelly Slater, Jack Johnson, Reddit, John John Florence, Florence, Former, Outerknown, starting their own surf brand, and why the modern surf industry looks completely different from the Billabong-era surf world they grew up in.Later, Sterling gets surprisingly deep about growing up as a traveling pro surfer, spending years chasing waves around the world, the brutal Gulf Coast summer flat spell, and watching surfers constantly chase swell from Hawaii to Indonesia, Tahiti and Fiji. The conversation turns toward Nathan Florence, surf travel, getting older as a surfer, Sterling's brain injury, fatherhood, grief, forgiveness and learning how to actually slow down.Basically: Kolohe Andino drama, surf industry politics, core lords, surf brands, pro surfing, surf culture, questionable life advice and two cousins trying to figure out if surfing has completely lost the plot.Subscribe to Pinch My Salt for weekly surf news, surf culture, surfing stories, pro surfer interviews, comedy and the important conversations nobody else in surfing is brave—or dumb—enough to have.#KoloheAndino #Surfing #SurfCulture #SurfPodcast #PinchMySalt

William Sarradet speaks with Galveston-based paint conservator and object restoration artist Jhonny Langer about disaster mitigation, the slow work of triage and salvage after a storm, and what a century of Gulf Coast weather has taught the island about holding onto things. "The biggest excuse for tearing down an amazing structure is that it's too costly. And I would propose that it's too costly not to have that building; it's too costly not to have art history."

Episode 253 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!This week we are joined by Southern crossover artist and American Idol Top 30 Bryant Thomas!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of The Hitstreak, I sit down with Bryant Thomas, a Southern crossover artist and American Idol Top 30 who is in Nashville recording his debut album. Bryant was a fire protection inspector in Alabama with no friends his own age and no drive, posting Christmas music in June and playing seven hour TikTok Lives for four viewers, when Alyona Palhof, the woman who would become his wife, found him and believed in him more than anyone ever had. We get into the leap of faith that ended his party band days, how Big Vinnie sent his picture straight to Luke Bryan, the audition where producers had to ask him to act excited, and the moment he got down on one knee on the American Idol stage and forgot to actually ask the question. Plus the album with no genre, nine instruments and a trombone on stage, the Blues Tavern jam family that shaped his sound, his sister beating a thirty percent survival rate as a little girl, and the prayer that took him from 20,000 to 275,000 monthly listeners in one month.Key Points:- TikTok Live takes the gatekeeping out of the industry. It connects you straight to the people.- Somebody believing in you can be the reason you start believing in yourself.- The dice do not work if you do not roll them.- Golden ticket or not, you can walk out of the room a winner.- Nobody can make your art better than you.- Serve the song. The genre is not the point.- You are a songwriter when you are writing songs, so always be writing.- There is no way to succeed following in someone else's footsteps. You will always be behind them.- Everything you learn in life applies to music, and everything you learn in music applies to life.- God does not give you things you are not ready for.About our guest:Bryant Thomas is a Southern crossover artist and American Idol Top 30 from the Gulf Coast, raised on Mobile Bay. Classically trained in music from middle school through college and in jazz band from sixth grade on, he plays nine instruments, including the trombone he brings on stage to set his shows apart. He spent his Monday nights jamming with the old heads of the Blues Tavern, a historic stop on the Gulf Coast blues circuit, and it taught him the thing his music still runs on: it does not have to be perfect, it has to be real.After high school he worked as a fire protection inspector in Alabama, and a TikTok account he started almost as a joke turned into the whole road: a viral Taylor Swift cover led American Idol to reach out, the auditions led to the Top 30, and at his audition he got down on one knee and proposed to Alyona Palhof, the woman who found him on TikTok when he was, in his words, nobody. Now based in Florida and recording his debut album Rock Bottom in Nashville, he has Shoulda Known, Drinking Again and Drunken Denial out now, with the big ballads still to come.Follow and contact:Instagram: @Bryant.Thomas.BandWebsite: BryantThomasMusic.comSubscribe to Nick's top-rated podcast The Hitstreak on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Spotify: https://spotify.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter

Sean Sullivan is joined by J.J. McCool of Wildlife Solutions for a fascinating look at wildlife management, coastal restoration, and the growing use of living shorelines along the Gulf Coast.McCool explains how his crews work on massive habitat-restoration projects stretching from the Gulf Coast across the country—including a recent season in which they planted approximately 2.7 million trees and marsh plants. He takes Sean behind the scenes of planting bald cypress, hardwoods, marsh grasses and other native species in areas that can only be reached by boats, barges and Marsh Masters.They also discuss restoration work at Robinson Island, the importance of sand fencing and native vegetation in building dunes, and how projects such as living shorelines can help property owners combat erosion while creating valuable habitat for fish, birds, crabs and other wildlife.J.J. explains why a living shoreline can sometimes be both less expensive and more environmentally beneficial than a traditional bulkhead, how these projects help rebuild lost shoreline, and why working with nature can be more effective than fighting against it.It's an entertaining and informative conversation about the wildlife, wetlands and waterways that make the Gulf Coast unique.Midday Mobile with Sean Sullivan — FM Talk 1065

In this episode, we're talking about the Gulf of Mexico, its incredible ecosystems, the communities that depend on it, and the environmental challenges it has faced for generations.I talk with Alex Horn, Communications Director for Healthy Gulf, an organization that has been working for decades to protect the Gulf and the communities connected to it. We'll talk about how Healthy Gulf got started, what exactly we mean when we talk about “the Gulf,” and why this waterbody is so important to wildlife, our climate, our economy, and the people who call the Gulf Coast home.We'll also look at the history of pollution and environmental threats in the region, the ongoing impacts of offshore oil and gas development, and the work Healthy Gulf is doing today to hold industries accountable and protect these ecosystems. We also talk about the recent proposal involving the potential storage of radioactive nuclear waste beneath the Gulf, and what Healthy Gulf is doing in response.https://healthygulf.org/ ttps://www.nola.com/news/business/louisiana-gulf-nuclear-waste-storage-plan/article_6c2ae372-82a8-4855-b430-c45a3822a30f.html?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook

This special episode takes a closer look at the growing number of snook sightings and catches along the Northern Gulf Coast, from Northwest Florida to Coastal Alabama. Butch Thierry and Joe Baya are joined by Zoe Hendrickson, a PhD student at the University of South Alabama, to talk through why a fish once associated mostly with South Florida is now showing up around Pensacola, the Emerald Coast, Perdido Pass, Fowl River, and other local waters. Zoe explains how snook have expanded northward in Florida, how their movement into places like Cedar Key may help researchers understand what is happening in Alabama and Northwest Florida, and why warmer winters, shorter cold snaps, and thermal refuge in rivers may be helping these fish survive. The conversation covers how juvenile snook use rivers and deeper pockets of stable water, how adult fish may move seasonally toward jetties, flats, oyster reefs, and other saltwater habitat, and why the recent snow and cold events made their survival even more interesting. The episode also digs into what anglers should do if they catch a snook in Alabama or Northwest Florida. Zoe explains current tagging efforts, the importance of reporting sightings, why handling and releasing fish carefully matters, and why anglers may want to let these fish go while the local population is still developing. The group also discusses snook biology, including how they change sex as they grow, how slot limits work in Florida and Alabama, how snook may interact with native fisheries, and why this new opportunity comes with a chance for anglers to help shape the future of the fishery.

In this week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report, host Joe Baya takes a deeper look at the growing snook population along the northern Gulf Coast with Zoey Hendrickson, a PhD student with the University of South Alabama's Estuarine Ecology Lab. The conversation covers why snook are appearing more frequently in Alabama and Northwest Florida, how they are surviving winter cold snaps, and what their continued range expansion could mean for local anglers. Zoey explains that warming winters, fewer prolonged cold periods, and the ability of snook to find thermal refuge in deeper rivers and other temperature-stable areas are helping the species establish farther north. Researchers are now seeing snook throughout the year, including juveniles that appear to be surviving multiple winters and gradually growing into larger fish. Similar patterns occurred around Cedar Key before that area developed into an established snook fishery. The discussion also covers how adult snook move between rivers, jetties, grass flats, oyster reefs, and other estuarine habitat as water temperatures change. Zoey explains that snook are adaptable predators capable of tolerating everything from freshwater to full saltwater, giving them an advantage as they expand into new habitat. She also discusses research into tagging, habitat use, genetics, and whether these "novel native" fish could eventually compete with established species such as speckled trout. Joe and Zoey wrap up with conservation considerations for this developing fishery. Larger snook play an important role in reproduction, and with the northern Gulf population still relatively small, releasing fish can help give the population an opportunity to become established. Anglers who catch snook are encouraged to handle them carefully, report sightings to the Estuarine Ecology Lab, and report any tagged fish so researchers can continue tracking their growth and movements.

LEARN MORE & REGISTER Welcome to another episode of The Plant Healer's Path. In this episode, Jesse Wolf Hardin sits down with Gulf Coast cunningman Howl Aza for a wide-ranging conversation about animism, rewilding, bioregionalism, herbalism, and what it means to truly belong to a place. Together, they explore an approach to healing that extends far beyond the individual. Howl shares his perspective on the self as something shaped by the totality of our relationships—with our bodies, families, communities, plants, animals, landscapes, and the other beings with whom we share our lives. They also discuss what an herbalism informed by animism and deep ecology might look like, including the importance of local plants, reciprocity, tending relationships with place, and considering the entire life cycle of the medicines we make and use. Throughout the conversation, Howl and Wolf reflect on wildness, responsibility, discomfort, presence, and those powerful moments when we realize that we aren't simply visitors to the natural world—we belong within it. Whether you're an herbalist, naturalist, animist, rewilding enthusiast, or simply interested in cultivating a deeper relationship with the living world, this conversation offers plenty to contemplate. If you'd like to learn from Howl and Jesse Wolf Hardin in person, join them at the 2026 Good Medicine Confluence.
