A journey that could only be described as a country song come to life. Professional modeler Bruce McRae returns to share his unbelievable cross-country expedition to four  scale modeling competitions – a trip marked by disasters that would have sent most people packing for home.What began as an ambitious nine-week journey across America turned catastrophic when Bruce and his wife woke to find their campsite in Louisiana rapidly flooding in the early morning darkness. With water rising to waist level, they evacuated with their two golden retrievers, only to discover their vehicle disabled and their trailer ruined. Most would have called it quits, but Bruce's models had miraculously survived dry in their elevated containers, and the competitions beckoned.Renting a replacement vehicle at considerable expense, Bruce continued to Florida's Armorgeddon show, showcasing both armor and figure modeling. He highlights the benefits of open judging systems that provide detailed feedback to every entrant, allowing modelers to understand their strengths and weaknesses – a stark contrast to traditional competitions where non-winners leave with no insight on how to improve.The most remarkable aspect of Bruce's tale isn't just his perseverance after a second disaster – when a van ran a red light in Albuquerque and destroyed their rental vehicle – but his unwavering passion for the hobby community. His reflections on different show formats provide valuable insights for competition entrants.Bruce's extraordinary determination reunited him with friends at each show and allowed him to share his exceptional modeling work despite overwhelming obstacles. His story reminds us that sometimes the greatest modeling adventures happen far from the workbench, and that the true spirit of this hobby lies in the connections we forge and the challenges we overcome together.Model Paint SolutionsYour source for Harder & Steenbeck Airbrushes and David Union Power ToolsSQUADRON Adding to the stash since 1968Model PodcastsPlease check out the other pods in the modelsphere!PMM Merchandise StoreSupport the show with PMM Merchandise!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

This story was read as a part of a live show hosted by the great Judy Blume, on the subject of banned books, something she personally knows about. This story hasn't been banned on its own, but many of Roxane Gay's works have, including Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture and Hunger: A Memoir of My Body. Because these bans are so prevalent, and so pernicious, we wanted to talk about that cultural argument, too. Surprising to absolutely no one, we at Too Hot are free speech boosters; so after the reading, we feature a fascinating talk with Amanda Jones, the author of That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America, who is on the frontline of this culture war in Louisiana. The story was read by actress Jessica Hecht. Our host is Aparna Nancherla.

This summer, we're taking you to a few spots in the south. This month, we drove to Gibsland, Louisiana, and explored the Bonnie and Clyde Ambush Museum. It's the centerpiece of tiny Gibsland, housed in a building that used to be Ma Canfield's Cafe. Bonnie and Clyde stopped here on May 23, 1934, bought a fried baloney sandwich and BLT to go, then headed down the road in their soon-to-be "Death Car" (a stolen V-8 Ford) and got killed. Listen up as we tell you about two outlaw lovers on the run.

On this episode, Jason and Matt are joined by their close friend Luis Fernando Mises, along with Jennifer Gillis and Misty Brown, two tireless advocates with the American Kratom Association. Together, we dive deep into the criminalization of kratom — from Louisiana's looming ban to the federal government's quiet war on natural medicine. Luis Fernando Mises is a consultant who teaches leadership across the U.S., a yoga and meditation teacher, a student of Austrian economics, a statesman with the Libertarian Party, a curandero, an entrepreneur, and a family man. He also runs a successful kratom business and brings rare clarity on both the plant and the marketplace. Misty Brown is a fierce kratom advocate and consumer who uses her voice to protect whole-leaf kratom and keep it legal and safe. Her work is personal — helping others fight addiction, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. Jennifer Gillis has lived with chronic pain for 19 years. After finding real relief through kratom six years ago, she became a dedicated advocate, educator, and truth-teller who supports efforts to keep kratom accessible for all. We begin with the Louisiana ban, where Misty reveals troubling claims of bribery between a sheriff and a rehab clinic pushing the ban behind closed doors. From there, we move to the federal level — breaking down the media's obsession with 7-OH (a lab-concentrated alkaloid being falsely labeled as “kratom”) and how it's fueling disinformation, addiction, and panic. Luis gives clear and grounded advice on avoiding dangerous gas station extracts and choosing safe, whole-leaf kratom instead. We then explore the FDA's alliance with Big Pharma, RFK Jr.'s recent crackdown on 7-OH, and how this could pave the way for a nationwide ban. We dive into Scott Gottlieb's ties to GlaxoSmithKline, the push for synthetic patents, and the blatant monopolization of nature. Then we bring it home with a hard look at the horrors of prohibition through the heartbreaking stories of Shaina Brown and Marshall Price, two innocent people whose lives were upended — and in one case, ended — over this plant. We close with each guest offering real solutions and a final word of encouragement to the millions of Americans who use kratom safely, responsibly, and with purpose. This is a must-listen for anyone who cares about bodily autonomy, plant medicine, and the rising tide of pharmaceutical control.

SCOTUS Takes on Racist Gerrymandering in Louisiana v. Calais! Will Race-Based Politics Get the Boot? I dive into the explosive Supreme Court case that could reshape American politics! Louisiana's outrageous gerrymandering to create a black-only congressional district is under fire, pitting the U.S. Constitution's demand for racial equality against the Voting Rights Act of 1965's controversial race-based mandates. Is this the end of racist congressional redistricting? We'll unpack the high-stakes battle: Can the government keep dividing us by skin color, or will the Constitution prevail? This case could dismantle decades of discriminatory policies, following SCOTUS's recent smackdown of affirmative action in colleges.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 08/02/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS More than a year after the gruesome murder and dismemberment of 19-year-old Sade C. Robinson, convicted killer, arsonist and White Supremacist Maxwell Anderson was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole. Apparently, a number of Suspected Race Soldiers penned letters of support for this convicted White killer. Gus prays that each unredacted letter is published online and translated into 100 different languages. We also discuss "Cancer Alley" and black Louisiana residents Roishetta & Kamea Ozane, who detail their efforts to counter the chemical and biological warfare against the black residents of the state. Kamea brilliantly and precisely diagnosed that White people deliberately poison regions with high populations of black residents. #SoberWouldBeBest #DontSeeNothingWrong INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. When Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in August 2005, the world watched in disbelief as one of the most destructive storms in American history swallowed communities whole. Among those whose lives were upended was a woman named Dr. Sandra Speer. The storm not only destroyed her home, it unearthed emotional wreckage that had been buried for decades. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. “Lake Pontchartrain was in my living room,” Sandra recalled. “I lost everything I owned, but what I didn't expect was that it would force me to face the emotional destruction I'd lived with since childhood.” In the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. This is not just a story about surviving a natural disaster. It is a story about surviving life. It's about resilience after a profound life change caused by a hurricane and the lifelong shadows of childhood trauma. It's about rebuilding, not only a house or a career, but a sense of self, and learning to live fully, freely, and fiercely. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The Day the Waters Rose, Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. Hurricane Katrina was more than just a Category 3 storm when it hit land near Buras-Triumph, Louisiana, on August 29, 2005. It was a monstrous force of nature that ultimately claimed 1,392 lives and caused more than $125 billion in damages. It flooded 80% of New Orleans, displacing hundreds of thousands and revealing deep flaws in infrastructure, governance, and preparedness. Sandra was among the countless residents who lost everything. She was in her 40s, living a modest life with her family when the levees failed and water surged into her neighborhood. Without access to money, food, or medical care, she and her loved ones were forced to evacuate and relocate to Florida, beginning a painful journey of recovery. But Katrina, she says, wasn't just the storm outside, it was the storm within. A Life Already Marked by Trauma, Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. Before Katrina ever formed in the Gulf, Sandra's life had already been shaped by a very different kind of disaster, childhood trauma. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “I was sexually abused starting at the age of nine until I was nearly eighteen,” she said quietly. “There was verbal abuse, psychological abuse. I was never really safe.” These early experiences had a devastating impact on her development. As with many survivors of childhood abuse, Sandra struggled with relationships, trust, and emotional regulation as an adult. She carried the trauma with her, even if it wasn't always visible to others. The trauma was cyclical, passed down through generations, never fully named or addressed, until the hurricane forced everything into the open. The Catalyst for Change, Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. When Sandra lost her home, it felt like the ground had literally and metaphorically been ripped from under her. But in that devastation came clarity. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “Katrina stripped everything away. It forced me to stop running, stop hiding, and start healing.” This was the moment she began her journey toward resilience. No longer just surviving, she began rebuilding her life from the inside out. It started with therapy. Then came education. And eventually, self-discovery and a career shift that allowed her to use her pain to help others. Her life change caused by the hurricane was not the end of her story, it was the beginning of something much deeper. Understanding Childhood Trauma Experts define childhood trauma as any distressing or painful event during the developmental years (ages 0–18) that can have long-lasting physical and emotional consequences. These events include abuse, neglect, witnessing violence, or surviving a natural disaster. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. Trauma of this kind can affect nearly every area of life, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship development, and even physical health. And while children often try to move on, the emotional wounds can fester into adulthood, showing up in anxiety, depression, poor boundaries, or chronic stress. “The trauma didn't just stop when I turned eighteen,” Sandra explains. “It stayed with me, in my body, my decisions, my parenting, my relationships. But I made a decision: It would not pass on to my children.” With that powerful intention, she broke the cycle. Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. A New Purpose Emerged After returning to Louisiana, Sandra continued her education and earned her Ph.D.. She became a Legal Advocate, focusing on CPS and Parental Alienation cases. Though she's not an attorney, she serves as an Abuse and Corruption Expert Witness, working to protect families and hold systems accountable. Her career shift was a direct result of her lived experience. She knew what it was like to be failed by systems, first as a child, then during a disaster. Today, she uses that knowledge to empower others. She also authored a book, The Remains of Hurricane Katrina, which tells her personal story and offers insight and encouragement to others dealing with trauma, loss, and resilience. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. “I wrote the book for people who felt like they were drowning emotionally, even after the storm had passed.” The Ongoing Work of Healing, Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. Healing is not a one-time event, it's a lifelong process. And Sandra continues to do the work. “I'm learning to develop healthier intimate relationships. That's something that was always hard for me. But I'm proud of how far I've come.” In her advocacy and public speaking, she often emphasizes the importance of seeking mental health care, especially for children who experience trauma. She advocates for evidence-based treatments like trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and encourages families to ask for referrals through pediatricians, school counselors, or community organizations. Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Not every child recovers from trauma just with love. Some need professional support, and there's no shame in that.” Reaching Audiences Worldwide, Resilience After A Life Changing Hurricane. Today, Dr. Sandra Speer is reaching audiences around the globe. She actively shares her message of resilience and recovery on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Social Media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Her interviews and insights have been featured on major outlets, and her story has been covered in numerous podcasts on Apple, Spotify, and other popular platforms. Through it all, her message remains consistent: “You are not what happened to you. You are what you choose to become.” The Legacy of Strength Sandra's life now serves as a living testament to what's possible when a person decides to rise after being knocked down, by people, by systems, by nature itself. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast is promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. She broke the cycle of generational trauma for her children. She built a new life rooted in truth, advocacy, and service. And she's using her voice to ensure that no one feels alone in their pain again.

El Camino Real de Los Tejas is a network of trails that connected Spanish missions, settlements, and military outposts from Mexico through Texas and into Louisiana. Now a national historic trail, this road played a crucial role in the Spanish colonization of the region in the late 1600s. It served as a vital route for communication, trade, and military movement.  Over time, that trail facilitated cultural exchange and interaction between Spanish settlers, indigenous peoples, and later, Anglo-American pioneers. The 2500 mile route is marked by numerous historical sites, including mission ruins, forts, and early settlements. It provides a tangible link to the colonial past and the diverse communities that shaped Texas and the broader Southwest.  The Traveler's Lynn Riddick takes a stroll along the trail with expert Steven Gonzales, who shares his knowledge about the significance of the trail and the American historical narrative.

The following is an extended interview from our upcoming podcast special “Louisiana Survived Katrina. Will it Survive the Petrochemical Industry? — that takes a deeper dive into the stories of the frontline communities fighting back.We speak with General Russel Honoré, the retired Lieutenant General who led the federal response to Katrina and now heads the GreenArmy, a grassroots environmental alliance.Since the Trump administration returned to office in 2025, a surge of federally approved LNG export plants has swept across Louisiana's coast. Honoré warns these developments are accelerating land loss, worsening hurricane impacts, and deepening the crisis for communities already facing climate displacement. Many have been forced to move multiple times as storms intensify, floodwaters rise, and petrochemical pollution endangers public health—especially in Black, Indigenous, and working-class areas.In this urgent and unfiltered interview, General Honoré speaks out about government capture, corporate corruption, and the growing disconnect between environmental policy and public survival.

637. It's been 20 years this month since Hurricane Katrina, and we're marking the anniversary this August and September. Today, we talk to Kiona Walker LeMalle about her Katrina-themed novel, Behind the Waterline. The novel takes readers to the home of a teenager and his grandmother in a New Orleans neighborhood on the eve of Katrina, where there are few resources and little warning of what is about to happen, in this novel that mixes magical realism with reality. When Hurricane Katrina approaches New Orleans, teenaged Eric and his grandmother and many of their neighbors decide to ride out the storm. Kionna Walker LeMalle's masterful debut novel brings her readers, like the rising water, onto Eric's street in the Third Ward, where stranded dogs bark for a time, where neighbors are floating on doors, and where Eric and his grandmother must take refuge in his second floor bedroom. After days of heat, dwindling supplies, and relentless rising water, neighbors begin to disappear and Eric's grandmother, already known as an eccentric, begins to falter. It is then that Eric--in a dream, a hallucination, or something else--discovers a room beyond his closet wall, a place he has never seen. What he discovers inside will send him on a path to discover secrets to survival, bitter progress, and, ultimately, the history of his own people--those he sorely misses and those he never even knew.

The most radical piece of legislation in the 20th century was Louisiana Governor Huey Long’s “Share Our Wealth Plan,” a bold proposal to confiscate individual fortunes exceeding $1 million to fund healthcare, free college education, and a guaranteed minimum income for families struggling through the Great Depression—a plan so radical it sparked theories that his 1935 assassination was orchestrated to silence his challenge to the economic elite. From his early days as a plain-speaking lawyer to his transformative tenure as governor and U.S. senator, Long’s media mastery, colorful antics—like coaching LSU football from the sidelines and delivering drunken speeches—and relentless fight against oligarchies cemented his reputation as the greatest politician of the 20th century. His influence on Roosevelt’s New Deal and parallels to modern figures like Donal Trump and Bernike Sanders reveal a recurring pattern of populist fervor in American politics. Join Scott as he discusses these themes with Thomas E. Patterson, author of “American Populist: Huey Long of Louisiana, to uncover how Long’s vision continues to resonate today.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Once beloved in root beer and medicine cabinets, sassafras was later banned as dangerous. So...is it poison or a powerful plant ally?In this episode, we're diving into the wild and winding story of Sassafras albidum—a tree deeply rooted in Southern culture, traditional herbalism, and kitchen magic. From thickening gumbo to flavoring root beer (before it was pulled from shelves in the 1970s), sassafras has played many roles—and stirred up plenty of controversy.Herbalist Matthew Hunter joins me today to shine a light on this misunderstood tree. He shares his favorite ways to work with sassafras, including his recipe for homemade sassafras root beer (yes, it's safe—and yes, it's delicious!). You can download a beautifully-illustrated recipe card here.Matthew also brings a refreshingly unique perspective.

Popular menu items include The Griswold, featuring turkey, bacon, and barbecue sauce, and the Nacho Maximus, topped with nacho cheese Doritos. Co-owned by Sophie Balas and her parents, the family aims to bring this unique concept, originally founded in South Carolina, to the Marietta community. Sully’s is open daily, serving a variety of bagel flavors and creative sandwiches. STORY 2: Marietta kindergartners get first taste of school bus life Marietta’s annual "Ready, Set, Ride" event gave first-time bus riders a practice run before the school year begins. Over 100 students participated, preparing for the return of 8,500 students across 12 campuses, with 5,800 riding buses. Bus driver Cathy Wells decorated her bus with positive messages, calling it an extension of the classroom. She emphasized safety rules, reminding kids to sit properly. Kindergartener Waverly Andrews experienced her first bus ride with excitement, while fifth-grader Giovanna Ricciardi guided her younger brother Nico, ensuring a smooth start to the school year. STORY 3: Fake Romeos used Facebook, Instagram and other platforms in scheme to swindle women Kenneth G.

STORY 5: Three Cobb educators named 2025 Teachers of the Year Cobb Superintendent Chris Ragsdale surprised staff at three schools to announce the district’s Teachers of the Year: Caleb Garrett (Compton Elementary), Lakeisha Grange (Betty Gray Middle), and Amanda Dillard (Pope High). Each teacher, selected by colleagues, was praised for their dedication and impact on students. They received a pin, crystal award, and a free one-year car lease, with the district winner earning the car permanently. Garrett, a fourth-year teacher, called it a “full circle moment,” while Grange emphasized building lasting relationships with students. Dillard, a special education teacher, highlighted helping students find their passion.

STORY 7: Sheriff Owens calls for unity at 34th annual shrimp boil in Cobb The Cobb County Sheriff’s 34th annual Low Country Shrimp Boilin’ drew 400 attendees to Jim Miller Park.

Guests enjoyed shrimp, live music, and family activities, with proceeds supporting Owens’ reelection and community programs like backpack drives and holiday donations. Owens, Cobb’s first African-American sheriff, highlighted unity and equal treatment for all citizens, regardless of political affiliation.

In this episode of Brothers Just Searching, we dive into what it means to honor our employers as employees, even when it's hard. God calls us to work with integrity and respect, not just when things are easy, but especially when we're mistreated or falsely accused. We discuss how the Bible sees such endurance as commendable before God, reminding us that He is always watching and that Christ Himself suffered for our sake. And while others may treat us unfairly, they often turn to us in times of need—asking for prayer and seeking hope.

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1. Carolyn and I talk about making decisions and intentionality vs. circumstance, need, and necessity. We then go on to talk more about Carolyn's lifelong love of sports. She shares the story of her maternal grandmother coming from The Philippines to live with them and how they'd watch games together. It was the days when, in much of the country, if you wanted to watch Major League Baseball, it was all Atlanta Braves, all the time (thanks to TBS, of course). Carolyn became a Braves fan, especially a fan of Dale Murphy. She watched football, too. She didn't watch the Giants on TV much, because every game wasn't televised in those days. But she could easily hop on Muni to see a game at Candlestick Park. Her dad often picked them up, showing up at the ballpark around the seventh inning, getting in free, and watching the end of the game with Carolyn and her friends and/or sisters. We go on a short sidebar about bundling up in San Francisco—at Candlestick and if you just wanted to go to the beach. In addition to Candlestick, she went to Warriors games a bit and also various sporting events at Cow Palace. Her dad learned how to bowl and would take his kids with him. We fast-forward a bit to hear about Carolyn's years in high school, when she went to the all-girl school Mercy High (which is now closed). Later, she took the same bus, the 29, to SF State that she had taken to Mercy. State was the only college she applied to. We talk a little about her decision not to leave San Francisco for school. In high school, she had decided that she wanted to be a sports writer. In fact, she aimed to become the first woman anchor at ESPN. We rewind a bit to talk about some of the journalism Carolyn did in high school. She had her own column in the school paper called “Off the Bench.” She shares a fun story of calling the Braves' front office to arrange for an interview with her favorite player—Murphy—the next time Atlanta rolled into town. In her third semester at SF State, Carolyn got pregnant. Around this time, she also took her first Asian-American Studies class, something that kicked in for her and stays with her to this day. She dove in head-first. I ask Carolyn whether and how much of that history her parents were aware of. She says that, for them, much of it was just things going on in their lives in the city they came to—things like the strike at SF State or the demonstrations at the I-Hotel in Manilatown. Learning more and more about the history of her people in the US lead Carolyn to confront her dad. “Why did you bring us here?” she'd ask. She ended up raising her first child, a mixed-race kid, as a single parent around this time in her life. She had figured that her son's dad would bring the kid the Blackness in his life, and she'd bring the Filipino-ness. Her own ideas of how best to raise the kid had to evolve, and they did, she says. She eventually returned to State and graduated. She lived in South City for a hot minute, held three jobs, and raised her son. She never felt that she couldn't leave The Bay. It was more, “Why would I?” Then, because if you know Carolyn Sideco, well, you know … then we talk about New Orleans. New Orleans is why and how Carolyn came into my life. My wife is borderline obsessed with The Crescent City. I'd been there some earlier in my life, growing up not too far away and having some Louisiana relatives. Erin and I spent three weeks in fall 2022 in a sublet in Bywater, Ninth Ward. That NOLA fever caught on for me then, and I'm hooked. Back home sometime after that, Carolyn came across Erin's radar. “There's a woman in San Francisco who seems to love New Orleans as much as I do and she has a house there!” Erin would tell me. In 2024, at a vegan Filipina pop-up at Victory Hall, we finally met this enigmatic woman. We ended up spending Mardi Gras this year at Carolyn's house in New Orleans—Kapwa Blue. “New Orleans has been calling me for about 20 years,” Carolyn says. One of her younger sisters lived there awhile. Her oldest son served in AmeriCorps there for three years and kept living in New Orleans four more. Carolyn and other members of her family visited often. This was around the time that Hurricane Katrina hit and devastated Southern Louisiana. A little more than a decade ago, Carolyn learned of the historical markers in the area that told the stories of Filipinos being the first Asians to settle in that part of the world. (Longtime listeners of Storied: SF might recall that Brenda Buenviaje hails from just across the Mississippi River from New Orleans.) As Carolyn learned more and more of the Filipino history in the region, that calling started to make more and more sense. Three years ago or so, her oldest son got married in New Orleans. That visit told Carolyn that she, too, could live there. Her husband devised a plan, and with some of Carolyn's cousins, they bought a house in the Musician's Village part of town, near the Ninth Ward—the aforementioned Kapwa Blue. They intended to bring that same sense of community her parents found and participated in back in San Francisco all those decades ago to their new neighborhood New Orleans. In addition to the house, Carolyn helped found tours of Filipino history in New Orleans and the surrounding area. Find them Bayou Barkada Instagram at @bayoubarkada Back in The City these days, Carolyn has her own sports consultancy called Coaching Kapwa (IG). “I call myself ‘Your sports relationship coach,'” she says. This means that she provides comfort and advice to anyone interacting with any of the various sports ecosystems. She aims to apply the idea of kapwa to an otherwise competition-driven sports landscape. We end the podcast (and the season) with Carolyn's interpretation of the theme of Storied: San Francisco, Season 7: Keep it local. She shares what that idea means for her here as well as how it pertains to her time in New Orleans. We'll be taking August off as far as new episodes go. I'll be busy putting together the first episodes of Season 8 and getting ready for the season launch party/art opening. “Every Kinda People” kicks off at Mini Bar on Sept. 4. That's also the theme of the next 20 or so episodes of this show.

You can be living in a storm and swear it's a sunny day. That's what it's like when insight slips away. In this episode, Dr. Nicole (board certified psychiatrist) and Kit Wallis (lives with schizoaffective disorder) explore why people with serious mental illness, like bipolar disorder, often can't see their own symptoms — even when the evidence is undeniable. Dr. Nicole unpacks the science behind lack of insight and explains how it isn't all-or-nothing. Insight flickers, evolves, and sometimes disappears just when you need it most. From Kit's early experiences hearing voices (and assuming they were just a creative mind) to the manic episodes that shattered her reality, you'll hear firsthand how denial and confusion can coexist. Discover why antipsychotic medications didn't convince Kit the voices weren't real, why manic highs feel too good to question, and why telling someone “you're sick” rarely makes them believe it. If you've questioned why it's so hard to see bipolar symptoms in yourself or a loved one, this conversation will open your eyes to the hidden forces behind denial — and acceptance. Cold Open Transcript: Kit Wallis: It took me years to figure out I was hallucinating. And the voices hated it whenever I did that. They were like, don't do that, don't research us, don't do that. Looking back on it, it doesn't make sense, but in the moment, it made perfect sense to me. It's kind of wild to me that I can go through all this effort to really figure out what is going on and I still have moments where it just completely slips my mind. It still slips my mind when it is happening most of the time. We have a guest host for this episode (Don't worry, Gabe Howard will be back!): Our guest host, Kit Wallis, who goes by SchizoKitzo, is a content creator who advocates for schizoaffective and bipolar disorders. She uses long-form videos on her YouTube channel and short-form content on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Her content centers around her personal experience with schizoaffective disorder and often includes deep dives into research topics regarding mental health. Kit was diagnosed with the bipolar type of schizoaffective disorder in late 2020 and has struggled with symptoms since she was in middle school. Schizoaffective disorder is a mental health condition where someone experiences symptoms of schizophrenia--such as delusions and hallucinations--but also symptoms of a mood disorder--either major depression or, in Kit's case, bipolar. Realizing there was a lack of schizoaffective advocates, she decided to start her SchizoKitzo project to raise awareness for this complex condition. The mission of SchizoKitzo is to raise awareness of schizoaffective disorder and all of its aspects, from the mood side to the psychotic side. Kit works to bridge the gap between life and science so she can help break the stigma around mental health. Our host, Dr. Nicole Washington, is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she attended Southern University and A&M College. After receiving her BS degree, she moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to enroll in the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed a residency in psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma in Tulsa. Since completing her residency training, Dr. Nicole has spent most of her career caring for and being an advocate for those who are not typically consumers of mental health services, namely underserved communities, those with severe mental health conditions, and high performing professionals. Through her private practice, podcast, speaking, and writing, she seeks to provide education to decrease the stigma associated with psychiatric conditions. Find out more at DrNicolePsych.com.

This week Pastor Denny Duron from Shreveport, Louisiana joins us for an inspiring message, sharing powerful stories of faith, healing, and generational miracles.

The discussion covered various topics, including the end of the first half of summer, a dent in a Tesla, and the impact of Philip K. Dick's "Man in the High Castle." They discussed the political implications of Boaz Burgers' stance on immigration and the potential for cheating in elections. A Walmart stabbing incident was highlighted, where a former Marine's actions prevented further harm. The conversation also touched on Elon Musk's innovations, including Starlink's service interruption and his plans for chip manufacturing. Trump's trade deals with the EU and Japan were debated, emphasizing the reduction of tariffs and the potential impact on the global economy. The conversation begins with light-hearted banter about a lizard sighting under Speaker 2's house, which was later clarified to be near the doorbell camera. Speaker 1 mentions their dog, Willie, killing a raccoon. then shifts the topic to promoting PJ's Coffee in Louisiana, highlighting their offerings, including cold brews, pastries, and a special mention of Second Round Bakery cookies available on Etsy. He encourages listeners to visit, enjoy the Wi-Fi, and share feedback via email. 

In this powerful sermon, Bowen Robin unpacks the remarkable story of Abraham and the promise that seemed impossible—that he would become the father of many nations through his son Isaac. Even when God asked Abraham to sacrifice the very son tied to that promise, Abraham's faith didn't waver. At the moment all hope appeared lost, God provided a ram in place of Isaac, revealing a deeper truth that points to Jesus Christ—the ultimate sacrifice. This message calls us to trust in God's promises, even in moments of doubt, and to see the provision of Christ on the cross as the fulfillment of God's unwavering faithfulness.Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Facebook also leave us a review If You Like To donate to this podcast you can through cashapp or email us at brothersjustsearchingpodcast@gmail.com for more infoAnything is appreciated Cashapp infoBJSmediaThis podcast is brought to you by BJS MEDIA.

In the early morning hours of July 4, 2002, 4-year-old Dannarriah Finley was sleeping in her bedroom in her home in Orange, Texas. Orange is the easternmost city in Texas, and it’s right across the border from Louisiana on the Sabine River. It feels like a small town. The population was only about 19,000. Dannarriah lived with her mother, 26-year-old Jaime Arnold, and her two sisters. For the July 4th celebrations, three of their young cousins were staying over with them. Jaime came home from work that night and put the kids to bed at around 1:30 am. She told police that she checked on the kids at around 3 or 4 am. Everything seemed fine, so she went to sleep. She woke up the next morning at around 10 am. Dannarriah’s sisters and cousins were playing at home, but Dannarriah….was gone.

Our card this week is Robert Gene Jones, the 10 of Diamonds from Louisiana. Robert was known as a quiet man who stayed out of trouble, so when he was found shot to death in his home one morning in the winter of 2002, police were initially stumped when it came to both motive and culprit. That might've been because Robert was never the intended target in what's now become a mystery that investigators hope one of you may hold the key to solving.If you or anyone you know has information that can help bring closure to Robert Gene Jones' case, you can make an anonymous call to Caddo-Shreveport Crime Stoppers at (318) 673-7373. You can also submit a tip by visiting their website. View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/robert-gene-jonesLet us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.Instagram: @thedeckpodcast | @audiochuckTwitter: @thedeckpodcast_ | @audiochuckFacebook: /TheDeckPodcast | /audiochuckllcTo support Season of Justice and learn more, please visit seasonofjustice.org.The Deck is hosted by Ashley Flowers. Instagram: @ashleyflowersTikTok: @ashleyflowerscrimejunkieTwitter: @Ash_FlowersFacebook: /AshleyFlowers.AFText Ashley at 317-733-7485 to talk all things true crime, get behind the scenes updates, and more!
