True Crime Tuesday Presents Crime And Unusual Punishment: The Psychological Realities Of Federal Prison w/Former Psychologist/Author, Paul Smith! Paul Smith was a clinical psychologist sentenced to 51 months for healthcare fraud and in his new book, confronts the harsh realities of federal prison. Incarcerated amid the chaos of the COVID pandemic, he endured a relentless odyssey through eight different prison facilities, caught in a near-perpetual cycle of transfer. Through his expert lens, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT: A Memoir of the Psychological Realities of Federal Prison unveils the stark truth of an uncivilized, harsh, and insane system that erodes the very essence of humanity. The author reveals a grim truth: extended exposure to the cruel environment of prison—crafted by government policy and the ruthless prisoner code—strips away humanity, pushing individuals toward savagery. Drawing from his own struggle to preserve his sense of self and the hard-earned wisdom of those who survived years of confinement, he offers a raw, introspective exploration of survival under psychological siege. On today's episode, we sit down with Paul and talk to him about the psychological effects of the prison system on the average inmate, whether every inmate is redeemable, and changing over the prison system from a punitive system to a truly reformative one and what model should be used as an example. We also relive Paul's story and recall the pitfalls that led to his downfall... PLUS DUMB CRIMES/STUPID CRIMINALS WITH JESSICA FREEBURG!

The next three months—Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the holidays—are basically a budgeting minefield. Even if you've been disciplined all year, this season can throw your money game completely off. In Part 3 of our Back-to-School, Back-to-Budget series, I'm giving you a clear strategy to holiday-proof your wallet and make sure your spending reflects your priorities—not panic. We're talking sinking funds for things you know are coming—gifts, school events, sports travel—and how to build a 3-month forecast that gives you room to breathe and room to celebrate. This episode isn't about being the holiday Grinch—it's about putting boundaries in place so you can actually enjoy the season without carrying guilt or a January credit card hangover into the new year. You'll learn: how to map out your fall spending from Halloween through New Year's how to budget for all those "surprise-but-not-really" expenses how to shift your mindset from restrictive to intentional. By the end, you'll walk away with a simple fall money plan, sinking funds set up for what's ahead, and the confidence to celebrate without sabotaging your financial goals. If you're a busy professional or parent who dreads the financial chaos of the holidays but still wants to enjoy every bit of it—this one's for you. And if this episode gives you the holiday money reset you've been craving, share it with a friend and make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss the final episode in this series: Building Momentum for Year-End Success.

Episode 65 of News Man Weekly sets the tone with a spooky twist as Carl, Zac and Hayden gear up for the Halloween season. The trio trades NFL Week 2 overreactions, recaps the buzz from the Budweiser Clydesdales’ appearances across the region and dives into local headlines — including a federal lawsuit against Mansfield police, the latest in Shiloh’s “unauditable” finances and more.

Now in its 10th season, the Midwest’s biggest haunted house continues to push the limits of fright with new sets, actors and surprises every year. Vic talks about his early days in the haunt business, how the prison’s eerie architecture elevates the experience and what fans can expect when Blood Prison opens its cell doors on Sept. 26. From Halloween haunts to holiday spinoffs, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run one of the nation’s premier scare factories. Get your tickets to Blood Prison here.

(00:00 - 2:43) It's Tuesday! Bob had a question for us. He wanted to know if it was ok to speak the limited Spanish, he knew to the waiter at the Mexican restaurant he was eating at with his family. LBF cringed! (2:43 - 7:05) Costco is winning says LBF. Why? They already have X-Mas decorations up for sale. Bob thinks it's way too early for it. They just steamroll right over Halloween and Thanksgiving. LBF says she's not going to yuck anyone's yum. (7:05 - 11:13) There's a new trend taking over. It's called The Glow Up, it's when a girlfriend basically gives the boyfriend and makeover then takes credit for the man looking good. Bob is all for it but says if you flipped the script, it wouldn't go so well. LBF thinks it's messed up the girlfriend is taking the credit for the guy looking so goo when it's the guy who's putting in the work. (11:13 - 16:37) Today's DM Disaster it's Matt! He went out on a first date with this woman; it was a really nice place; they had some drinks and an app. But after they ordered entrees, she got up to use the bathroom and never returned. He only found out after the waiter dropped off the food. That's Matt's DM Disaster! (16:37 - 20:44) Today's player for Supah Smaht was Kristin From Norton! How'd she do with her 10 questions for $1000. (20:44 - 24:31) A couple in the UK had a creative idea to have card readers at the table of wedding guest instead of asking for gifts. Bob isn't down for that. But LBF is ready for this to become a new thing. All this and more on the ROR Morning Show with Bob Bronson and LBF Podcast.

Let's Chat!The creative journey behind "Death of Peace of Mind" has been nothing short of extraordinary. What began as an experiment in gritty, 80s-inspired storytelling evolved into our most explosive series yet, with a community response that's left me genuinely overwhelmed with gratitude.Pulling back the curtain today, I'm revealing how dramatically the series changed during development. My original plan to kill Black at the Greenbrier house transformed when I realized a more powerful ending was possible—one where Grayson vanishes, completing his cycle, while Black inherits the Greenbrier mantle. This twist represents uncharted territory for me as a storyteller, moving beyond traditional narrative patterns into something more psychologically complex. The music integration, explicit content, and detailed world-building all contributed to creating an authentic thriller experience while maintaining deeper personal development themes.At its philosophical core, the Greenbrier represents "the mirror that you only see yourself, that no one else sees," forcing characters to confront self-deception and hidden truths. This reflects my belief that genuine personal growth isn't always inspirational quotes and feel-good moments—it's raw, uncomfortable, and sometimes bloody as we break destructive patterns and begin healing. I'm also thrilled to announce our next major series, "The Patients of Predators," followed by themed content for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the holiday season. With over 300 episodes now available, we're creating a storytelling approach to personal development unlike anything else out there. Share this journey with someone who might connect with our unique approach to growth through narrative. Your reality is waiting to be created."True mastery is found in the details.

True Crime Tuesday Presents Crime And Unusual Punishment: The Psychological Realities Of Federal Prison w/Former Psychologist/Author, Paul Smith! Paul Smith was a clinical psychologist sentenced to 51 months for healthcare fraud and in his new book, confronts the harsh realities of federal prison. Incarcerated amid the chaos of the COVID pandemic, he endured a relentless odyssey through eight different prison facilities, caught in a near-perpetual cycle of transfer. Through his expert lens, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT: A Memoir of the Psychological Realities of Federal Prison unveils the stark truth of an uncivilized, harsh, and insane system that erodes the very essence of humanity. The author reveals a grim truth: extended exposure to the cruel environment of prison—crafted by government policy and the ruthless prisoner code—strips away humanity, pushing individuals toward savagery. Drawing from his own struggle to preserve his sense of self and the hard-earned wisdom of those who survived years of confinement, he offers a raw, introspective exploration of survival under psychological siege. On today's episode, we sit down with Paul and talk to him about the psychological effects of the prison system on the average inmate, whether every inmate is redeemable, and changing over the prison system from a punitive system to a truly reformative one and what model should be used as an example. We also relive Paul's story and recall the pitfalls that led to his downfall... PLUS DUMB CRIMES/STUPID CRIMINALS WITH JESSICA FREEBURG!

Tonight's story takes us deep inside one of Idaho's most infamous paranormal hot spots — the old TB Gooding Hospital. Once a tuberculosis ward, then left abandoned, this massive building has developed a reputation as one of the most haunted sites in the state. Paranormal investigator Jennifer Ward of Western Idaho Paranormal shared with us one of the most chilling EVPs ever captured inside the crumbling hospital walls. What makes this EVP different? It's not a faint whisper or scratchy static. This one is crystal clear. A child's voice — small, fragile, and unmistakably present — saying “Bye Dada.” Investigators were stunned, especially after learning that the building's owner had lost a child years earlier. Could it really have been her voice breaking through from beyond? Or was it another child spirit trapped within those halls? EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) have long been debated in the paranormal field. Are they legitimate voices of the dead, or audio pareidolia — our brains searching for patterns in noise? In this case, even skeptics were caught off guard. The clarity, timing, and emotional punch of this EVP leaves very little room for denial. Join Tony, Carol, and Todd as they dive into the recording, share their reactions, and of course, go off on their signature tangents — everything from Satan voice jokes to memories of haunted Halloween shows. This is Real Ghost Stories Online at its best: authentic chills mixed with humor, curiosity, and a dose of the bizarre. #ghoststories #paranormal #hauntedhospital #EVP #realghoststories #ghosthunters #paranormalactivity #haunting #creepy #supernatural Love real ghost stories?

CONTINUED David Pietrusza's book, Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal, chronicles Franklin Delano Roosevelt's pivotal re-election campaign in 1936, a moment that fundamentally reshaped American political demographics and solidified the New Deal as a national agenda. The campaign began under the shadow of the death of Louis Howe in April 1936, FDR's closest political strategist and confidant since 1912. Howe, despite his "unpleasant acerbic" nature and poor health, was an invaluable aide, worshiping FDR and actively pushing Eleanor Roosevelt into political activism following FDR's 1917 affair. His passing left Roosevelt to navigate a complex political landscape on his own. Roosevelt faced significant opposition from both the political right and left. On the right, Al Smith, former Governor of New York and FDR's erstwhile mentor, emerged as a fierce critic. Disaffected since FDR's governorship, Smith believed Roosevelt's "forgotten man" speech and New Deal policies constituted "class warfare." Allied with wealthy individuals like the DuPonts and E.F. Hutton, Smith co-founded the American Liberty League, which lambasted the New Deal as unconstitutional and socialist, compelling Roosevelt to wage his own campaign of "class warfare" against these "rich guys in the Silk Hats." From the populist left, FDR contended with the legacy of Huey Long, the charismatic Louisiana senator assassinated in September 1935. Long's radical "Share Our Wealth" program, advocating for massive wealth redistribution and government provision of cars and radios to every family, garnered millions of followers and represented "the greatest force of the populist left." His strategy was to siphon votes in 1936 to ensure a Republican victory, creating a worse economic situation that would pave his way to the presidency in 1940. In Georgia, conservative populist Eugene Talmadge, while ideologically different from Long (being a "Jeffersonian conservative" who refused to fund welfare), also vigorously opposed the New Deal through "race baiting" and accusations of "communist influence," drawing some of Long's former supporters. A significant third-party challenge coalesced around Dr. Francis Everett Townsend, an elderly physician whose Townsend Plan proposed giving $200 a month to every person over 60, requiring them to spend it within 30 days to stimulate the economy. Though Roosevelt personally disliked "the dole," the plan's immense popularity and the formation of millions of Townsend clubs pushed FDR to swiftly introduce Social Security. Townsend later joined forces with Father Charles Edward Coughlin, an influential "radio priest" who initially supported FDR but turned against him over monetary policy, and Reverend Gerald L. K. Smith, a fiery orator akin to Long, along with Congressman William Lemke. This "amateur" coalition, however, failed to gain significant electoral traction, securing only 1.2% of the vote due to ballot access issues in major states and a lack of experienced political leadership. Coughlin, notably, was a more prominent radio figure than FDR for a period, influencing millions through his syndicated broadcasts. FDR's secret meeting with Coughlin at Hyde Park, orchestrated by Joseph Patrick Kennedy, famously ended in a rupture, leading to open political warfare. Ideological parties also presented concerns. The Socialist Party, led by Norman Thomas, consistently polled hundreds of thousands of votes, particularly in urban centers like New York City. The Communist Party USA, under Earl Browder (chosen by Stalin for his pliability and non-Jewish background), initially condemned the New Deal as "fascist." However, with the rise of Adolf Hitler and the global shift to a "popular front" strategy, the Communist Party covertly supported FDR to keep him in power against the looming international threats, while running their own candidate to avoid the "kiss of death" of an overt endorsement. Media mogul William Randolph Hearst, who controlled a vast empire of 28 newspapers and eight radio stations, also became a powerful opponent. Despite initially supporting FDR in 1932, Hearst grew increasingly disaffected by the New Deal's progressive policies and taxes on the wealthy, leading to a "long bumpy involved breakup." FDR even considered "throwing 46 men who make a million dollars a year to the wolves," a direct reference to Hearst and his wealthy allies. The Republican Party ultimately nominated Alf Landon, the Governor of Kansas, a "complete surprise" and "least interesting character." Landon, a progressive Republican favored by Hearst, was known for balancing Kansas's budget but was widely regarded as uncharismatic and a poor public speaker, especially on radio, a crucial medium of the era. His campaign message, promising only a more efficient implementation of New Deal programs he had largely supported, failed to energize the electorate. Earlier potential nominees included Herbert Hoover, William Borah, Frank Knox, and Arthur Hendrick Vandenberg. Roosevelt's campaign, in stark contrast, was dynamic. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt played an indispensable role, defying initial party reluctance to campaign vigorously. She became a crucial link to the African-American vote in Northern cities, even though FDR, for political reasons, declined to support an anti-lynching law favored by Eleanor and the NAACP. Roosevelt himself delivered powerful, "frenzied and irate" speeches, most notably his Madison Square Garden address on Halloween night, where he famously embraced the "hatred" of "economic royalists" and promised accountability, a compelling message of "class warfare" that galvanized the electorate despite his own staff's initial horror at its perceived demagoguery. Despite initial polls, like the Literary Digest (which had predicted a Landon victory), suggesting a close race, Rooseveltachieved an unprecedented landslide. He won 46 of 48 states, secured overwhelming Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress (74 senators, 334 representatives), and claimed 38 governorships. Crucially, FDR carried 104 of 106 major cities, solidifying the Democratic Party's urban strength and marking a profound political realignment in American history. This decisive victory was a clear mandate for the New Deal and established the foundation of the modern Democratic Party.

His strategy was to siphon votes in 1936 to ensure a Republican victory, creating a worse economic situation that would pave his way to the presidency in 1940. In Georgia, conservative populist Eugene Talmadge, while ideologically different from Long (being a "Jeffersonian conservative" who refused to fund welfare), also vigorously opposed the New Deal through "race baiting" and accusations of "communist influence," drawing some of Long's former supporters. A significant third-party challenge coalesced around Dr. Francis Everett Townsend, an elderly physician whose Townsend Plan proposed giving $200 a month to every person over 60, requiring them to spend it within 30 days to stimulate the economy. Though Roosevelt personally disliked "the dole," the plan's immense popularity and the formation of millions of Townsend clubs pushed FDR to swiftly introduce Social Security. Townsend later joined forces with Father Charles Edward Coughlin, an influential "radio priest" who initially supported FDR but turned against him over monetary policy, and Reverend Gerald L. K. Smith, a fiery orator akin to Long, along with Congressman William Lemke. This "amateur" coalition, however, failed to gain significant electoral traction, securing only 1.2% of the vote due to ballot access issues in major states and a lack of experienced political leadership. Coughlin, notably, was a more prominent radio figure than FDR for a period, influencing millions through his syndicated broadcasts. FDR's secret meeting with Coughlin at Hyde Park, orchestrated by Joseph Patrick Kennedy, famously ended in a rupture, leading to open political warfare. Ideological parties also presented concerns. The Socialist Party, led by Norman Thomas, consistently polled hundreds of thousands of votes, particularly in urban centers like New York City. The Communist Party USA, under Earl Browder (chosen by Stalin for his pliability and non-Jewish background), initially condemned the New Deal as "fascist." However, with the rise of Adolf Hitler and the global shift to a "popular front" strategy, the Communist Party covertly supported FDR to keep him in power against the looming international threats, while running their own candidate to avoid the "kiss of death" of an overt endorsement. Media mogul William Randolph Hearst, who controlled a vast empire of 28 newspapers and eight radio stations, also became a powerful opponent. Despite initially supporting FDR in 1932, Hearst grew increasingly disaffected by the New Deal's progressive policies and taxes on the wealthy, leading to a "long bumpy involved breakup." FDR even considered "throwing 46 men who make a million dollars a year to the wolves," a direct reference to Hearst and his wealthy allies. The Republican Party ultimately nominated Alf Landon, the Governor of Kansas, a "complete surprise" and "least interesting character." Landon, a progressive Republican favored by Hearst, was known for balancing Kansas's budget but was widely regarded as uncharismatic and a poor public speaker, especially on radio, a crucial medium of the era. His campaign message, promising only a more efficient implementation of New Deal programs he had largely supported, failed to energize the electorate. Earlier potential nominees included Herbert Hoover, William Borah, Frank Knox, and Arthur Hendrick Vandenberg. Roosevelt's campaign, in stark contrast, was dynamic. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt played an indispensable role, defying initial party reluctance to campaign vigorously. She became a crucial link to the African-American vote in Northern cities, even though FDR, for political reasons, declined to support an anti-lynching law favored by Eleanor and the NAACP. Roosevelt himself delivered powerful, "frenzied and irate" speeches, most notably his Madison Square Garden address on Halloween night, where he famously embraced the "hatred" of "economic royalists" and promised accountability, a compelling message of "class warfare" that galvanized the electorate despite his own staff's initial horror at its perceived demagoguery. Despite initial polls, like the Literary Digest (which had predicted a Landon victory), suggesting a close race, Rooseveltachieved an unprecedented landslide. He won 46 of 48 states, secured overwhelming Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress (74 senators, 334 representatives), and claimed 38 governorships. Crucially, FDR carried 104 of 106 major cities, solidifying the Democratic Party's urban strength and marking a profound political realignment in American history. This decisive victory was a clear mandate for the New Deal and established the foundation of the modern Democratic Party.

CONTINUED David Pietrusza's book, Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal, chronicles Franklin Delano Roosevelt's pivotal re-election campaign in 1936, a moment that fundamentally reshaped American political demographics and solidified the New Deal as a national agenda. The campaign began under the shadow of the death of Louis Howe in April 1936, FDR's closest political strategist and confidant since 1912. Howe, despite his "unpleasant acerbic" nature and poor health, was an invaluable aide, worshiping FDR and actively pushing Eleanor Roosevelt into political activism following FDR's 1917 affair. His passing left Roosevelt to navigate a complex political landscape on his own. Roosevelt faced significant opposition from both the political right and left. On the right, Al Smith, former Governor of New York and FDR's erstwhile mentor, emerged as a fierce critic. Disaffected since FDR's governorship, Smith believed Roosevelt's "forgotten man" speech and New Deal policies constituted "class warfare." Allied with wealthy individuals like the DuPonts and E.F. Hutton, Smith co-founded the American Liberty League, which lambasted the New Deal as unconstitutional and socialist, compelling Roosevelt to wage his own campaign of "class warfare" against these "rich guys in the Silk Hats."
