  I’m ALWAYS asking folks, “How did you come to be inside Hot Springs Village?” Frequently, people reverse it and ask me the same thing. That’s the impetus for today’s show. Some places become meaningful because of what happened there. For us, Hot Springs Village became that place. In September of 2018, our family was carrying a burden we never expected. Life had shifted hard and fast, and we needed somewhere quiet to think, regroup, pray, and figure out what came next. What was supposed to be a simple three-day getaway became something much deeper. We walked the trails, sat in silence, asked difficult questions, and found a kind of peace we desperately needed. Looking back now, I think experiencing the Village during one of the most stressful seasons of our lives forever connected this place to healing and hope. Over time, those visits turned into a dream, then a decision. We eventually bought a home here three years ago, and along the way, HSV Inside Out was born (June 1, 2021). This episode is the story of how Hot Springs Village slowly became more than a destination for us — it became home.   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________

  It started with an email about 2 years ago. Now and again, I’d get the same question. Then yesterday I got another email asking the same question. I reply to each email, but I figured it was worth telling the rest of you about it. There's a rhythm to life inside Hot Springs Village. If you live here long enough, you begin to notice it. Some residents are here year-round, fully immersed in the daily routines, community events, and long-term life of the Village. Others come seasonally, returning for part of the year before heading elsewhere when the weather or family schedules change. In this episode of HSV Inside Out, I explore the quiet reality of “snowbird” living in Hot Springs Village and how part-time and full-time residents shape the culture, energy, and identity of the community. From seasonal homes and rental properties to shifting social activity and neighborhood rhythms, this episode takes a thoughtful look at what happens when a community lives in cycles. Whether you're a full-time Villager, a seasonal resident, or considering a move to HSV, this conversation offers a deeper understanding of the unique balance that makes Hot Springs Village unlike almost anywhere else. But it’s not likely what you’re thinking because Hot Springs Village is unique.   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________

  Hot Springs Village has a reputation. Depending on who you ask, that reputation can be wildly inaccurate. In this episode of HSV Inside Out, I tackle the myths and misconceptions that often shape people's opinions before they ever visit. Is it just a sleepy retirement community? Is everybody old? Is there nothing to do? Today, I share candid observations about what Hot Springs Village is NOT, while helping prospective residents better understand the lifestyle, culture, and realities of living in America's largest gated community.   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________

  One of the most surprising things I've learned from talking with people interested in Hot Springs Village is just how different they all are. Some are retired couples where one spouse is completely sold on HSV, while the other is hesitant because they've never even visited. Others are single retirees, widows, widowers, golfers, non-golfers, nature lovers, budget-conscious planners, or people simply looking for a quieter, more intentional next chapter. The common thread isn't golf or even retirement itself — it's the desire to build a better life. In this episode of HSV Inside Out, I explore why Hot Springs Village appeals to such a wide variety of people and how this unique community allows residents to create retirement on their own terms.   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________

Photo: The South Dakota Board of Minerals and Environment conducts a hearing about a uranium exploration permit application on May 19, 2026, at the Mueller Civic Center in Hot Springs, South Dakota. (Meghan O'Brien/South Dakota Searchlight) A new South Dakota law requires language translation services for some government proceedings. The law does not take effect until July, but it already had a test during a hearing on a uranium drilling permit application. South Dakota Searchlight's Meghan O'Brien explains. The new law requires translation services for contested administrative cases, like a pending case involving a permit application for uranium exploration in the southern Black Hills. State Rep. Erik Muckey (D-SD) sponsored the legislation. “Any proceeding that’s open to the public would receive or have those translation services available at no cost to the participants, so it would be covered by the state of South Dakota. We can’t turn people away from due process of law, and we need to be able to provide that, especially knowing that we already do this when it comes to the civil and criminal case law that goes before the state.” The state Board of Minerals and Environment is considering the drilling permit. Some project opponents requested Lakota interpretation services. Lakota-speaking tribes formerly controlled the Black Hills as part of the Great Sioux Reservation. There is rock art created thousands of years ago on the walls of Craven Canyon near the drilling site. The board voted in March to provide interpretation services. Board members knew the new law won't take effect until July first, but decided to honor the intent of the law anyway. Alex White Plume is one of the two people hired to interpret spoken English into Lakota during the hearing. “I speak Lakota better than I speak English.” He grew up in Manderson, an especially rural part of the Pine Ridge Reservation. “The vast majority of the members of my community will still speak Lakota, and it’s funny to hear somebody come speak white man language amongst us, you know, cause it sounds funny.” White Plume was happy to interpret the hearing. “That was really important for the Lakota speakers to really hear their language and get a clear understanding about what the legal jargon was that the lawyers were speaking. So it's really an important day, and to me, it was a historic day.” But the state board failed to provide a Lakota interpreter for the first day of the hearing. A state official said potential interpreters had conflicts of interest or scheduling conflicts that prevented them from accepting the role. On the second day of the hearing, the department contracted with two interpreters — White Plume and Leola One Feather. So, when Clean Nuclear Energy's legal counsel asked a question to an executive for its parent company, Nexus Uranium … “Can you generally describe steps Clean Nuclear Energy took to evaluate the project's potential impact on historic, archaeologic, geologic, scientific, recreational aspects of the effective surrounding land?” …Leola One Feather translated. As the hearing continued, some exchanges went without interpretation. Project opponents in the audience objected. Elizabeth Lone Eagle (Rosebud Sioux), is one of more than a dozen people who have filed official complaints against the project. “This is institutionalized racism, and you are promoting it.” She interjected after exchanges between the hearing chair, lawyers, and a witness went untranslated. “You are forbidding her from doing her job, because you want your white colonizer sanitized way of doing things.” The board did not respond and the hearing continued. The day after that exchange, Lone Eagle filed a federal lawsuit against the board, the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the company seeking the permit. It cites concerns about the hearing's lack of interpretation on the first day. A spokesperson for the department told South Dakota Searchlight that the hearing is adjourned until the lawsuit is resolved. (Courtesy Inuit Circumpolar Council Alaska / Facebook) Alaska Native leaders are remembering a long-time advocate for Inuit rights, James “Jimmy” Stotts, who passed away in May. As the Alaska Desk's Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports, Stotts spent decades promoting food sovereignty and creating a unifying voice for Indigenous people across the Arctic. James “Jimmy” Stotts died late last month after a long fight with cancer. He was 78. For more than four decades, Stotts led the Inuit Circumpolar Council, an organization that represents Inuit people from Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Russia. In his work, he fought for protecting Inuit food sovereignty and culture, and for including Inuit people in the decisions concerning the Arctic. Patsy Aamodt was Stotts' friend and former colleague. “He cared so much for our people all across the circumpolar north, because we’re related.” Stotts was born in Utqiagvik and lived in various villages across Alaska. “He knew the importance of making sure caribou were caught…. Nobody had to explain that to him.” Stotts worked for several tribal organizations, including the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation. Rex Rock Sr., the current head of the corporation, called Stotts a mentor. “He was someone that I respected, and you always looked up to, right?” The leadership of the Inuit Circumpolar Council Alaska said in a written statement that Stotts worked to bring people across the Arctic together. Rock says that Stotts' Utqiagvik roots helped those efforts. “We know, being whalers, that you cannot accomplish landing that whale on your own. … He knew what it took to work together to accomplish great things.” Former Alaska politician and Northwest Arctic leader Reggie Joule knew Stotts for a long time. He says Stotts was among leaders who made it their goal to educate others about the Iñupiaq way of life. “This is something that Jimmy understood really well – rise to the challenge and responsibility of being an Indigenous person. … It goes on to basics – teaching your children the things that we would like to continue to be.” Joule and Aamodt say they hope Stotts' legacy lives on and the young people take on that mantle. (Courtesy San Carlos Apache Council) The San Carlos Apache Council has hired a forensic accounting firm to conduct an audit following recent allegations of embezzlement by the tribe's own staffers. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. Four employees, including the tribe's secretary, have all been placed on paid administrative leave pending this review. The staffers have been accused of cashing fraudulent checks using the tribe's funeral assistance fund by creating hundreds of fake names for spouses or siblings, who are not enrolled. The family of each deceased relative is entitled up to $850. The team responsible for overseeing the burial expense program paid out nearly $470,000 within the last six months alone. The tribe says it remains “committed to ensuring that all funds are accurately accounted for.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

  Three years ago, my wife and I made a decision that changed the course of our lives: we bought a house in Hot Springs Village. Since then, we’ve experienced the beauty, challenges, friendships, surprises, and everyday realities that come with calling the Village home. In this episode of HSV Inside Out, I answer a simple but important question: knowing everything we know now, would we still make the move? I’ll share what has exceeded our expectations, what took some adjustment, and what prospective residents should consider before making a similar decision. If you’re thinking about retiring, relocating, or simply curious about life in Hot Springs Village, this honest reflection may help you decide whether the Village could be the right fit for you.   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________

A little something different this week. Carman Carrion just got back from four days in a cabin on the Ouachita River near Hot Springs, Arkansas—and she didn't come home empty-handed. In this special shorter episode, there are no dramatized retellings. No fictional reenactments. Just a folklore field report from the deep hollers of the Ouachita Mountains, told the way it might've been told on a porch a hundred years ago. Pull up a chair and listen in as Carman shares what she learned about the old mountain ways—the folk magic, healing traditions, and dark whispers that have lived in these ancient hills for generations:

Sussex Development Corporation is a privately held general contracting firm founded in 1990 by Harry L. Davis III, a Virginia Beach native and Virginia Tech graduate who set out to build a company grounded in integrity, commitment, collaboration, and excellence. Starting with a two-room office and an early hospital renovation project, Sussex grew steadily by leveraging key relationships, eventually expanding its presence across the Mid-Atlantic region in markets spanning healthcare, recreational facilities, banking, education, and beyond. Today, the company remains closely held, with over 90% of its work coming from repeat clients and referrals, a testament to the trust and lasting relationships the team has built over more than three decades in business.This episode is somewhat unique as it was recorded live in front of an audience during the Associated General Contractors of Virginia's (AGCVA) 2026 Annual Convention at the Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, Virginia. I was honored to have father and son Harry and Rolley Davis from Sussex Development Corporation join me for a conversation about the history and stories behind their company. Rolley recently made his own mark on that history, having been named President of Sussex Development, a milestone that speaks to the next chapter of this family-built firm.

Laodicea, an important city of the Roman Empire, had a serious issue with drinkable water. Hot Springs filled with impurities were a main source of water for the city. Archaeological excavations have revealed an attempt to bring water from an outside source in through stone pipes containing limestone deposits which would have contaminated the water for drinking. Just as lukewarm water is useless, the church in Laodicea is useless to Jesus. Dependency is a sign of maturity for a Christian. The danger of wealth is that it has the potential to create independent people. They may feel competent and successful but they are in actuality poor, and pitiful. Jesus strong words are a love gift to wake them up and reset their lives onto a new trajectory. They need only to repent, turn away from self-sufficiency and turn back to Jesus!------------------------By now we can see each church named is located in a real place with real temptations, hardships, and opposition. This is how it is for all Christians in all centuries – for we do have a very real enemy and this world is not our home. Additionally we have also seen how Jesus uses illustrations from the reader's own environment to communicate deep spiritual truths for greater understanding among its hearers. He did this all throughout the gospels as well!  In Summary:• **Ephesus – drifting church:** right doctrine but did not have love• **Smyrna – suffering church:** going through persecution—encouraged to stay faithful• **Pergamum – compromising church:** held to the truth—exhorted to not compromise• **Thyatira – tolerant church:** tolerance led to unfaithfulness• **Sardis – defeated church:** apathy and material wealth lead to defeat• **Philadelphia—suffering church:** going through persecution—Jesus reminds them of His love.• **Laodicea—lukewarm church:** apathy and material wealth lead to uselessnessThe pattern laid out in these letters is: *who Jesus is, who the church is, exhortations and promises.*Let us take to heart the condition of each church, examining our own walk and the culture of our own church against each possible state. Let us receive both Jesus' words of encouragement in suffering and His warnings in apathy. Above all else let us wake up to and rejoice in our “great need for a Saviour and a great Saviour for our need!” (Spurgeon)Prepare for this week's teaching by reading Revelation 3:14-22

Today from SDPB - a uranium mining exploration hearing in Hot Springs is halted following a federal suit filed on the matter, new public polling suggests a shakeup at the top of the GOP primary race for governor and more.

  After decades in Austin, Texas, Liz Atherton found herself asking a question many retirees eventually face: “Where do I really want to spend the next chapter of my life?” Following a lung cancer diagnosis and successful surgery, the question became even more urgent and personal. Liz wasn't looking for just another place to live. She wanted a place that felt right financially, emotionally, and physically. So she did the research. Tennessee. The Carolinas. Other retirement destinations across the South. Like so many people considering retirement relocation, Liz carefully weighed climate, cost of living, lifestyle, safety, beauty, and community. In the end, Hot Springs Village kept rising to the top. Just two months after making the move, I joined Liz on her back porch to share why she chose HSV, how she's “cash flowing” her retirement on Social Security, and why this encore chapter feels exactly right. This Porch Prowling episode is an honest, encouraging conversation about resilience, intentional living, and discovering where home truly belongs.

In this SPECIAL EPISODE of HSV Inside Out, I share what storms are really like here…from dramatic lightning over the lakes to the peaceful calm that follows a rain. Let’s talk honestly about severe weather preparedness, power outages, tornado warnings, and why longtime residents often grow to appreciate the slower, nature-connected rhythm that thunderstorms bring to life in the Village.   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________

This episode contains discussions of murder, arsenic poisoning, the deaths of children, and historical criminal trials. Ifyou need to skip any portion, advance past that segment using your chapter markers. This EpisodeSeason 40 of Foul Play marks America's 250th anniversary by examining two cases that expose how the justice system treated killers differently based on wealth, gender, and class. This week: a double feature — one case from Texas, one from Pennsylvania, eleven years apart, and both asking the same question. Was justice served?In January 1877, a woman known as Diamond Bessie crossed a footbridge over Big Cypress Bayou in Jefferson, Texas. She never came back. Her companion — the wealthy son of a Cincinnati jeweler — walked away with her rings on his fingers and her luggage on his arm. What followed was one of the most contested murder trials in Texas history, in a town that was already losing everything. This is true crime at its most infuriating: a woman's life weighed against a powerful family's money.Then we cross to Philadelphia, 1888. Sarah Jane Whiteling, a forty-year-old factory worker's wife in a rear apartment on Cadwallader Street, lost her husband, her daughter, and her son inside sixty-seven days. The insurance companies paid out $399 total — $47 for her two-year-old boy. Arsenic trioxide was in every body. The prosecution called it wholesale murder. The defense called it insanity. The jury took two hours. This is historical true crime that doesn't let you look away.The VictimsDiamond Bessie — real name believed to be Annie Stone, born around 1854 in upstate New York — had built a life on her own terms in an era that gave women almost none. She worked in upscale establishments in Cincinnati, New Orleans, and Hot Springs, accepting fine jewelry as payment, which earned her the name everyone knew her by. Dark- haired, pale-skinned, with grey or steel-blue eyes that period newspapers described as striking, she was intelligent and charming by every account. She married Abraham Rothschild in Danville, Illinois on January 11, 1877. Ten days later, a Black woman named Sarah King found her body propped against a twisted oak in the bayou woods — fully clothed, stripped of every piece of jewelry, a single gunshot wound to her temple.The Whiteling victims were a family. John Whiteling, thirty-eight, worked as a streetcar conductor and factory worker. Bertha was nine years old. Willie was two. John died on or around March 20, 1888. Bertha died April 25. Willie died May 26. Sixty-seven days, start to finish. Each death had a doctor's signature and a natural cause on the certificate. None of those causes were arsenic. The bodies at Mechanics' Cemetery held the truth that the living room had hidden.The CrimesAbraham Rothschild — son of Meyer Rothschild, a prosperous Cincinnati jeweler — had been traveling with Bessie since meeting her in Hot Springs around 1875. On January 21, 1877, he bought two picnic lunches from Henrique's Restaurant in Jefferson, crossed the footbridge over Big Cypress Bayou with Bessie, and came back alone. He told the hotel staff she was visiting friends. The next morning he wore two of her large diamond rings to breakfast. Two days later he boarded the eastbound train with both sets of luggage. He was traced to the Capitol Hotel in Marshall, then arrested after shooting himself outside a saloon — blinded in his right eye — in Cincinnati. His family spent what contemporary sources called "no fewer than ten high-priced attorneys" on his defense, led by U.S. Congressman David B. Culberson. The first trial ended in a conviction and a death sentence. The Texas Court of Appeals threw it out on a procedural technicality. The second trial ended in an acquittal. The jury deliberated four hours.Sarah Jane Whiteling purchased Rough on Rats — an arsenic trioxide compound manufactured by Ephraim S. Wells of New Jersey — and administered it to three members of her household between March and May of 1888. Coroner Samuel H. Ashbridge ordered the bodies exhumed. Professor Henry Leffmann, a chemist, and Dr. Henry F. Formad, a pathologist, found arsenic in every body. A drugstore clerk confirmed the purchase. Sarah confessed. Her defense centered on Dr. Alice Bennett — the first female physician to lead a department at an American asylum, Norristown State Hospital — who testified that Whiteling suffered from "physiological insanity" linked to reproductive dysfunction. The prosecution answered with their own experts: Drs. Charles Mills and John Chapin, who acknowledged she was of weak mind but said she was not legally insane. The jury deliberated approximately two hours. Guilty. First-degree murder. Death.On June 25, 1889, at 10:07 in the morning, Sarah Jane Whiteling was executed at Moyamensing Prison in Philadelphia. She was the first woman executed in Philadelphia since colonial times. She reportedly appeared calm and believed she would be reunited with her children in heaven.Historical ContextBoth cases unfold during America's Gilded Age — that era of violent contradiction between spectacular wealth and grinding poverty. Jefferson, Texas had been the biggest riverport in the state until the Army Corps of Engineers removed the natural logjam on the Red River in 1873, and the railroad bypassed the city for Marshall. What had once shipped more than 75,000 bales of cotton annually was already hollowing out when Bessie's body was found. Reconstruction was collapsing across the South. Democrats had retaken the Texas state government three years earlier. In this context, the Rothschild family's ability to hire an army of lawyers — including a sitting U.S. Congressman — and purchase an acquittal reads as something beyond a legal outcome. It reads as a statement about whose life counted.In Philadelphia, 1888, a factory worker's full-year wages ran between $300 and $500. Sarah Whiteling collected $399 from three life insurance policies — nearly a year's salary — for the deaths of her husband and two children. The arithmetic is not subtle. Dr. Alice Bennett's insanity defense was, by the standards of 1888 forensic psychiatry, genuinely innovative — her theory of "physiological insanity" in women with reproductive dysfunction would later be examined in the *Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law* (Vol. 48, No. 3, 2020). But the jury didn't buy it, and Sarah Whiteling hanged.Together these cases are a portrait of American justice in 1877 and 1888: brilliant, broken, and priced according to what you could afford.Our Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code SHANE for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  If you're considering retiring to Hot Springs Village, this episode gives you the truth about what it's really like to live here. Walking the Magellan Dam Trail, I share the realities most people don't talk about—spring pollen, bugs, hot, humid summers, limited nightlife, the drive to the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport, and what it means to live in a Property Owners Association (POA). These are the real-world factors that can impact your day-to-day life in retirement. Hot Springs Village isn't perfect. No place is. The key to thriving in retirement is understanding the trade-offs and deciding what matters most to you. For many, the natural beauty, lower cost of living, and peaceful lifestyle far outweigh the negatives. The question isn't whether Hot Springs Village is perfect; it's whether it's the right place for you to retire. Are the negatives make-or-break…or are they acceptable inconveniences? You decide.   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________
