Send us a textIn today's episode, I am chatting with Denise Smith Cline. Denise grew up in a textile town in Upstate South Carolina before the world got so complicated. The youngest of 5 spirited siblings, Denise realized early on to survive, she'd need to master the dual arts of watchfulness and eavesdropping. A shy kid, she buried her face in books and found a few fine friends for company. Denise started her writing career as a newspaper reporter fresh out of Davidson College. Denise still practices employment law in the firm she founded in Raleigh, North Carolina. She reads constantly and has an abiding interest in people from big families and small places. When she's not working, reading or writing, she loves good conversations with her beloved family and friends. We are here today to discuss her latest novel, The Resettlement of Vesta Blonik. Episode Highlights:Denise shares how her day job as a lawyer and her night job as a novelist complement each other.Why her legal background helps her craft compelling, character-driven stories.The surprising history behind New Deal resettlement programs and mental health institutions that inspired parts of her novel.The humorous (and humbling!) amount of research she did to accurately portray farm life and livestock.Her book flight features novels with strong female protagonists set in harsh climates.Connect with Denise:InstagramWebsiteBooks and authors mentioned in the episode:Elizabeth Strout booksJane Austen booksWellness by Nathan HillClaire Keegan booksTana French booksAngle of Repose by Wallace StegnerPeace Like a River by Scott GouldBook FlightThe House of Doors by Tan Twan IngThe Last Whaler by Cynthia ReevesThe Resettlement of Vesta Blonik by Denise Smith ClineDessert PairingSalt Houses by Hala Alyan

The word "poetry" is often used as a metaphor. Many see the art form as something from the past, associate it with academics or think of it as unapproachable, it is none of those things. Poetry is alive and well, and in North Carolina, it's promoted by the state's poet laureate Jaki Shelton Green. She's the ninth person to hold that position and joins us to talk about the role of poetry in modern life.
Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Tonnika Haynes, owner of Brown's Automotive in Chapel Hill, North Carolina—a family business founded by her father, William Brown, in 1980—joins us for a conversation recorded live at the ASTA Conference in Raleigh, NC. Together, we explore the powerful and defining mentorship that shaped both her leadership and her legacy. Tonnika shares that she never worked for her “dad,” she worked for William Brown, the business leader. That separation became clear when, early in her ownership, she faced her first major crisis: losing a key employee. When she called her father for guidance, it wasn't “Dad” who picked up; it was William Brown. His advice was blunt but transformative. Instead of sympathy, he challenged her: “What would you do if they got hit by a bus? You can't sit in it, move forward.” It was a defining moment that taught her the importance of separating emotion from action. As William often reminded her: “We don't have time for feelings right now. We have time for fact and action.”“Feelings don't fix cars. Facts and movement fix cars.” This heartfelt episode highlights the power of tough love, mentorship, and maintaining emotional discipline in business. Tonnika's story is a testament to how strong roots and even stronger lessons can prepare the next generation to lead with both heart and backbone.

How one rural weaver is helping neighbors feel seen, supported, and connected in Wilkes County, NC — and what we can learn from her example. We are kicking off something special. This episode is the first in a new ongoing series highlighting Weavers — local leaders around the country who are rebuilding trust and community from the ground up through Weave: The Social Fabric Project (weavers.org). Our inaugural guest is LB Prevette — a “rural rejuvenator,” community connector, and what she jokingly (but truthfully) calls an “aggressive friend.” LB is based in Wilkes County, North Carolina, where she works to create safe, inclusive, deeply rooted community spaces for queer youth, neighbors in recovery, families, and folks who don't always feel seen in small-town America. We talk about what it means to leave home — and to return to it. We talk about pain, belonging, queerness in Appalachia, rebuilding trust one relationship at a time, and why community isn't built in speeches — it's built in porches, casseroles, group texts, and checking in at the exact moment someone needs it. And we talk about Merle's — the community bar / gathering space LB helped co-found — a place that feels less like a bar and more like your cool aunt's house party where everyone belongs. This is not a story about charity. It's a story about returning to each other.
In this episode, Ed DeVaney joins the sisters of "Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver" to share his deeply personal caregiving experience. Raised in a competitive and close-knit Irish Catholic family in Chicago, Ed describes a childhood filled with familial connections and strong influences from his mother, who not only modeled the values of care and perseverance but also became the central figure in his own journey as a caregiver. When Ed moved to North Carolina for a major career opportunity, it coincided with the onset of his mother's dementia and Alzheimer's diagnosis—changes that altered the dynamic of his family and thrust him, alongside his two older sisters, into the complexities of caring for an ailing parent.Ed speaks candidly about the emotional and logistical challenges that came with balancing his professional growth, the demands of an MBA program, and raising his young family while regularly traveling back to Chicago to help care for his mom. He highlights the family tensions, the guilt of missing pivotal moments in his children's lives, and the difficulties of honoring his mother's wish never to enter a nursing home—a promise the siblings ultimately struggled with before acknowledging her increasing needs. Looking back, Ed shares honest reflections on vulnerability, the importance of asking for help, and the lessons this experience has taught him as both a leader and a father. Above all, his story underscores the universal challenges faced by caregivers, the enduring bonds of family, and the need for grace—toward others and oneself—throughout the journey.About Ed:Ed DeVaney is a Chicago native from a large, close-knit family. Growing up, he was a dedicated athlete, and that competitive spirit continues to drive him today. Ed has been married to his wife, Michelle, for 20 years, and together they have three children: Grace, Chloe, and Ryan. Their family also includes three dogs: Lakota, Lola, and Poncho.Support the showConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Sisterhood of Care, LLC Website: www.confessionsofareluctantcaregiver.com Like us on Facebook!

The Need-to-Know Morning Show on Monday covers a range of intense topics, starting with the immediate effects of the ongoing government shutdown, which is now the second longest in U.S. history. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy details the stress on air traffic controllers and warns of increasing flight delays and cancellations as a direct result of the standoff. The core issue, Duffy states, is the Democrats' alleged push for $1.5 trillion for healthcare for illegal aliens. The show turns to devastating weather news as Hurricane Melissa, now a Category 5, tracks for a catastrophic, slow-moving hit on Jamaica. The island is expected to see up to 40 inches of rain and a 9 to 13-foot storm surge. Politics, Crime, and Survival In a deep dive into politics and crime, the show features a segment with investigative journalist Miranda Devine on the "Cocaine at 1600" Fox Nation special. Devine discusses the suspicious destruction of evidence within 11 days related to the bag of cocaine found in the White House. She reports that Secret Service sources indicate a partial match to someone in the White House was found through DNA analysis. This has led to the FBI and Kash Patel reopening the case. Transportation Secretary Duffy also weighs in on a key legal battle, threatening to strip California of its ability to issue commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) because the state unlawfully issued over 60,000 licenses to foreigners. The host and his co-hosts also have a segment on the general state of the Democratic Party, asking, "What are they for?" and pointing out that their efforts, such as the fight for illegal immigrants to have Obamacare subsidies, are "loser leverage". Personal Preparedness Health and wellness expert Mariah Prussia stops in to discuss her recent intense "mountain readiness" survival training in North Carolina. She recounts learning tactical preparedness, including how to pick handcuffs, night vision driving, and recognizing that preparedness is essential because it's not a question of "if" but "when" a serious situation will arise. Travel agent Cindy also checks in, giving an update on the travel chaos due to the shutdown and offering a great all-inclusive deal to Cozumel.

Judy Smith decided to accompany her husband to a work conference in Philadelphia. She disappeared some time after leaving the hotel to go sightseeing. Months later, her body was found in a remote area of the Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Judy Smith. Judy's husband, Jeff, was frantic and called the police to begin investigating her disappearance. There were several alleged sightings of Judy in both the Philadelphia area and North Carolina. In Philadelphia, people who thought they saw her described her as being disoriented. People who thought they saw her in North Carolina didn't describe her this way.

Across the South, the word witch has been used to explain what people fear and cannot control. For generations, healers, midwives, conjurers and root workers carried knowledge their communities needed, yet often faced suspicion when tragedy struck. In this episode of Southern Mysteries, we explore the real lives and southern legends behind those branded as witches. From colonial courts to mountain cabins and coastal swamps, these stories reveal how the line between healing and haunting has always been thin and how fear can turn ordinary people into figures of folklore.

Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the rainy weather and a frustrating experience with a tailgater on his drive to the studio. Using that as a segue, he transitions into broader reflections on leadership, strength, and decisiveness—qualities he attributes to former President Donald Trump. Brett contrasts Trump’s assertive style and global influence with what he describes as the weakness and confusion of the Biden administration. He highlights Trump’s recent trip to Asia as an example of America’s renewed respect on the world stage, emphasizing new economic developments, particularly in rare earth trade and shifting global alliances. Citing a viral X post, Brett describes the United States’ emerging dominance over China in technology and resource control, framing it as “the day America became an empire Later, Brett turns his attention to the New York City mayoral race, focusing on Zorhan Mondami, whom he predicts will almost certainly become the city’s next mayor. Brett warns that Mondami’s election could trigger a new wave of migration from the industrial Northeast to states like North Carolina, as residents flee what he describes as failed left-wing leadership. He criticizes Mondami as part of a broader trend of progressive politicians who, in his view, do not truly care about improving the cities they lead. Brett also discusses recent controversy surrounding Mondami’s dual Ugandan citizenship and the debate over Uganda’s anti-LGBTQ laws, playing a clip of Mondami defending himself against accusations of extremism and Islamophobia.

Saturday's game against Virginia highlighted progress for Bill Belichick's team, but the wins remain elusive as the Cavaliers did just enough in overtime to steal a 17-16 win in Kenan Stadium.

Jason Staples and Buck Sanders join Tommy Ashley to break it all down.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the second study session on Evelyn Williams's Inadmissible Evidence: The Story of the African-American Trial Lawyer Who Defended The Black Liberation Army. We read our 4th biography of the year in recognition of the recent passing of Assata Shakur. The Katherine Massey Book Club read Assata's autobiography a decade earlier, where she reveals extraordinary details about her childhood and what led to her becoming an attempted counter-racist and member of the Black Liberation Army. Williams is Shakur's aunt and has her own fascinating experiences with the System of White Supremacy. Last week, Williams described her journey to becoming an attorney. She shouted out Eugene Kinckle Jones and other black people who helped her through the years of school and labor to becoming a lawyer. She then tells readers about helping her parents fight to retain their beach front property in Wilmington, North Carolina. A large number of Wilmington Whites engaged in unjust networking to steal this property, and they even managed to punish a few individuals who attempted to help Williams's black parents keep their land. #SobrietyWouldBeBest INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

Ravi Gupta and guest host Stephen Webber, filling in for Jason Kander, start with some rare good news for Democrats, breaking down Harry Enten's latest analysis showing early positive signs in New Jersey's returns and what that might mean heading into 2026. They unpack data showing Democrats cutting into the GOP's mail ballot lead, rising early vote enthusiasm, and a noticeable shift in party energy as figures like Senator Schatz test new messages aimed at revving up the base. Gupta and Webber also highlight the bizarre week for Republican leadership, as Speaker Johnson defends the president's crude social media posts and dodges questions about pardoning a January 6 rioter, while Ted Cruz stokes culture war outrage over pro-democracy protests. Meanwhile, Trump spends his days golfing, demanding DOJ payouts, and posting rants as his shutdown drags on and GOP hypocrisy explodes—from private jet subsidies to ballroom renovations. The hosts then turn to North Carolina's redistricting fight, stalled Democratic donor activity, and the brewing Maine Senate race, before diving into escalating tensions with Venezuela, confusion over U.S. beef imports, and Trump's latest chaos at the DOJ.
