This week we have not one, but two episodes for you!For this story, we travel back to December of 1908, when people in Russell and Adair counties in Kentucky were shaken after 12-year-old Mamie Womack failed to return home from school. Her disappearance that winter afternoon triggered a desperate search, as neighbors, family, and bloodhounds followed a trail through the woods that uncovered a horrible crime.As the hunt for answers widened, suspicion fell on Elmer Hill, a young man with ties to the Womack family, who also went missing. What followed was a multi-county manhunt involving posses, bloodhounds, and growing public outrage. Hill would eventually be captured after days on the run, but the case would not end in a courtroom.In this episode of Stories of Appalachia, Steve and Rod tell the story of Mamie Womack's disappearance and the chilling fate of the man thought to be responsible, another one of the Stories of Appalachia.

Why did tobacco, and not gold or glory, save the first permanent English colony in America?

Today I am speaking with a woman from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about volunteering at a fish hatchery in Kentucky. Marsha Hart is from Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery in Jamestown, Ky. The hatchery raises nearly a million trout each year and serves as a popular attraction for campers, anglers, school groups and families. Marsha explains how Workampers help operate the visitor center, assist guests, care for educational animals and support special events throughout the year. She also shares why this volunteer opportunity is ideal for couples, what makes the campsites so appealing and how volunteers become an important part of the hatchery’s mission. More importantly, you’ll learn about the flexible schedule which gives volunteers plenty of time to explore Kentucky, Tennessee and the many attractions surrounding Lake Cumberland. If you enjoy meeting friendly people, sharing your love of the outdoors and helping visitors discover one of Kentucky’s most beautiful destinations, then this episode is for you. While the volunteer positions focus primarily on welcoming visitors and operating the visitor center, Workampers quickly become part of a close-knit community. With spacious full-hookup campsites, beautiful surroundings, abundant wildlife and a schedule that provides many consecutive days off, it’s easy to understand why many volunteers return year after year. We also learned that volunteers play an important role in helping the hatchery fulfill its mission of conservation, education and outdoor recreation. Whether assisting with fishing events, interacting with visitors or helping behind the scenes, Workampers make a meaningful contribution to the experience enjoyed by thousands of guests each year. For those who love nature, enjoy meeting people and want to spend time near Lake Cumberland, this could be an outstanding opportunity. To learn more about volunteering at Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery, visit the agency's website at www.fws.gov/fish-hatchery/wolf-creek. You can also contact Marsha Hart directly by phone or text at 270-566-3036 or by email at marsha_hart @ fws.gov. That's all for this week's show. Next time I will be speaking with a  Workamper who had such an interesting experience as a camp host for many years, that he wrote a book about it. I'll have that interview on the next episode of The Workamper Show. Thanks for listening and if you like these interviews, please consider leaving a review wherever you download the episodes.

Travels With Randy Route 66 Episode 15 is here! Illinois -  East St Louis To Springfield Personal Updates and Life Stories Bubba and Randy caught up on personal updates, including Randy's recent trip to Washington and Kentucky, where he visited family and retrieved his van. Randy shared an amusing story about discovering a spoiled hot dog in his van's freezer, which caused an unpleasant smell. Bubba discussed his family's plans, including bringing Luke home from Clemson for the summer, while Logan will stay in Raleigh to work as a waiter and potentially train as a bartender. They also talked about the challenges some college students face in finding internships, noting that unpaid internships are now rare. The conversation ended with Randy sharing his experience working as a runner at Mary Tyler Moore Enterprises, where he witnessed actor Lawrence Fishburne auditioning for bit parts in various TV shows. Entertainment Industry and Work Experiences The conversation covered personal experiences in the entertainment industry, with one participant sharing their experience working as a runner at Dick Clark Productions, including a memorable task of transporting Dick Clark and his wife's dogs in their Jaguar. The discussion also touched on Bubba's experience working at a coal plant in Decatur, Illinois, where they handled unusual materials like burning tires. The conversation ended with a reference to their ongoing discussion about Route 66, picking up where they left off last week after covering Missouri and St. Louis. Route 66 Illinois Tour Discussion Randy discussed the different routes of Route 66 in Illinois, highlighting the clear signage in the state that indicates different route periods. They shared details about two main routes near St. Louis, including the Chain of Rocks Bridge and the original 1926-1930 route through Mitchell and Edwardville to Hamel. Randy recommended visiting the Chain of Rocks Bridge and suggested a loop route through Mitchell, Edwardville, Hamel, and potentially Collinsville to see the world's largest ketchup bottle, before continuing to Springfield via the original 1926-1930 route. Route 66 Antique Mall Visit Randy described visiting an antique mall in Livingston, Illinois, which features kitschy Route 66 memorabilia including a giant pink elephant and a trailer referencing Brownsville Station's "Martian Boogie" song. They recommended a detour from the 1930 route to see the pink elephant and Ariston Restaurant in Litchfield, which is the longest continuously operating restaurant on Route 66, having moved from the original 1926 alignment in 1930. Bubba, who is from Decatur, Illinois, provided context about the geographic location of these sites between St. Louis and Springfield in southern Illinois. US 250th Anniversary and Route 66 The discussion focused on the 250th anniversary of the United States and the centennial of Route 66, with participants clarifying that the correct term for a 250-year milestone is "semiquincentennial." They discussed early American settlements and how quickly cities developed, with Bubba mentioning his visits to historical sites like Jamestown. The conversation then shifted to Route 66 in Illinois, where Randy explained that the route spans approximately 300 miles from the Mississippi River to Chicago, with Springfield located about 75-80 miles from the river. Randy noted that visitors can see multiple landmarks including the Ariston Cafe, Pink Elephant, and antique mall by following different route alignments. Route 66 Historical Discussion The discussion focused on Route 66, with Randy describing the route through Gillespie, Carlinville, and surrounding areas. They discussed the historical significance of the old courthouse in Carlinville and the original Ariston restaurant location. Bubba shared his experience growing up in a farming community and working seasonal farm jobs, including tassel corn work, which paid better than minimum wage jobs at the time. Randy explained the different alignments of Route 66 from 1926 to 1930 and mentioned the unique red brick section in Auburn, which is the only red brick road on the entire 2,400-mile route. AI Character Design Planning Session Randy and Bubba discussed Randy's travel experiences, particularly his journey along Route 66, where he had initially rushed through locations but later learned to slow down and explore more thoroughly. They then engaged in a creative exercise to design an AI character named Beth, deciding on specific features including deep blue eyes, dark brown wavy hair, and an olive complexion. The team planned to have Beth create her own visual representation using an AI tool like Grok or ChatGPT, which they would then share on their TWR social media page. Illinois Route 66 Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed the geographical and political dynamics of Illinois, particularly focusing on the contrast between Chicago and the rest of the state, including Springfield as the state capital. They explored the historical and cultural aspects of Route 66 in Springfield, highlighting specific attractions such as Motorheads and the Route 66 display at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The conversation included practical travel advice for visiting these sites, emphasizing the importance of exploring different Route 66 alignments within the city to experience various roadside attractions. Route 66 and Lincoln Connections Randy shared his personal connection to Abraham Lincoln through family genealogy and discussed plans to visit Lincoln-related sites in Springfield and the town of Lincoln, which will be featured in upcoming podcast content. He also mentioned his upcoming trip to Navy Pier in Chicago, which now serves as a ceremonial start/end point of Route 66. Bubba revealed that he and his wife Linda previously lived in Joliet, Illinois, near where Route 66 passes through the area. The conversation concluded with both participants discussing their experiences with memory recording and the use of AI tools like Gemini to document personal stories and life experiences. eBay Conventions and Podcast Success Bubba and Randy discussed their shared memories from past eBay conventions, particularly a memorable night in Las Vegas where they pretended to be movie producers. They reflected on their long friendship and how their brains share memories of shared experiences. The conversation then shifted to their podcast's success, with Randy sharing that it ranks in the top 1% of all podcasts, having surpassed 100 episodes over 5-6 years with approximately 115 weekly downloads. Randy also announced that their Facebook page has been certified by the Route 66 Commission, making them an officially recognized Route 66-related page, and plans to share new Route 66 content including photos and a planned September trip from Chicago to Santa Monica to coincide with the 100th anniversary celebration in November.   SO.

We consider Virginia's tumultuous rise to wealth and prominence as the so-called “Old Dominion” and one of the largest European settler colonies in the world –from the colony's dangerous stand in the English Civil War, through the subsequent demographic boom, and the codification of chattel slavery – as all the while, social tensions escalated, with the growing underclass of smallholders and landless laborers chafing against gentry rule. We disentangle how a trade dispute between planters and the Doeg Indian tribe on the Potomac River touched off a massive rebellion that overthrew the royal governor, laid waste to Jamestown and many of the great plantations, and threatened to destroy the English colonial enterprise, before order was restored, and the colony was set a new path towards becoming a slave society.

Fala Pirataria! Já está no mar mais um episódio da História de Bolso dos EUA, um projeto encabeçado pelo Prof. Marcos Sorrilha em colaboração com o História Pirata. Em nosso quarto episódio, exploramos Jamestown, o primeiro assentamento inglês permanente na América do Norte. Longe de um projeto de liberdade ou fé, a Virgínia nasceu como um empreendimento econômico voltado ao lucro marcado por desafios desafios iniciais (fome, conflitos e alta mortalidade). Ao longo dessa história, veremos como o tabaco transformou a colônia em um negócio viável, impulsionando a exploração do trabalho, da servidão à escravidão africana. Como não poderia deixar de ser, Pocahontas aparece, não como a figura romântica apresentada pela Disney, mas como parte de um complexo jogo político. Ao final, veremos como Jamestown revela, desde o início, as contradições que marcariam a história dos Estados Unidos.

Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna and guests Celestial Convergence, Navigating the Shift to Soul Identity This podcast episode explores the profound spiritual and astrological shifts occurring in late April 2026, centered on a rare celestial alignment and the transition from "wounded human" consciousness to "soul identity." The discussion blends Mayan calendar wisdom, galactic weather reports, and channeled guidance to support listeners through a period of intense energetic transformation. The Mayan Record and Galactic Weather The discourse begins with a ceremonial invocation of the sacred galactic directions, setting a tone of harmony and planetary healing. The current period is identified as a "double warrior" phase in the Mayan tradition, emphasizing equality, organization, and fearlessness in questioning existing structures. This spiritual framework coincides with significant "galactic weather," specifically the perihelion of Comet R3 Pan-STARRS—a celestial body with a 170,000-year orbit—and recent X-class solar flares that are intensifying the Earth's atmospheric and Schumann resonance. The Great Conjunction: A 12,000-Year Cycle A central theme of the discussion is the extraordinary astrological alignment of Venus, Uranus, the Pleiades, and the trans-Neptunian object Sedna. This specific configuration is described as a "once-every-12,000-year" event that signals a radical shift in human evolution. While Uranus acts as a "Promethean" agent of liberation and disruption, Sedna provides a counterbalancing frequency of deep peace and crystalline light. Historical Context and Global Shifts The speakers analyze previous occurrences of similar conjunctions (dating back to 1606, 1773, and 1942), noting a recurring pattern of exploration, rebellion, and shifts in global commerce. Historical touchpoints include the founding of Jamestown, the Boston Tea Party, and the Manhattan Project. These cycles suggest that the current alignment will likely disrupt international trade, financial systems, and energy technologies, moving humanity toward a more equitable "new earth" model. Channeled Guidance: From Wounded to Whole Channeled messages from the Pleiadian consciousness emphasize a 48-hour window of intense "liver cleansing" and the dissolution of the "witch wound" and other ancient traumas. The goal of this energetic influx is to shift human focus away from "trying to fix" the wounded self and toward surrendering to the soul's identity. This transition is described as the "Phoenix rising," where the mind becomes the servant of the heart, and the soul is fully anchored within the physical body rather than hovering in the higher energy centers. The episode highlights a pivotal moment of cosmic alignment that invites humanity to move beyond historical cycles of trauma. By embracing the incoming "divine feminine" frequencies and anchoring the soul within the physical body, individuals can participate in the co-creation of a balanced and harmonious "New Earth."

Pastor Bob Fox has watched the prayer culture of evangelical churches shift dramatically over the last twenty-five years, and he is not quiet about what that shift has cost. This is a serious, grounded call to pastors and congregations to recover what was lost and restore it for a city under pressure. America Pray Now Assistant Director Ken Miller interviews Pastor Fox in a conversation that calls all believers back to a life of prayer.-------America Pray Now publishes a magazine on prayer that is free of charge and can be delivered directly to your home. You can sign up for this magazine on our website at americapraynow.comIn addition to our weekly podcast, we meet in 17 different cities every month to pray in person.

To Pastor Bob Fox, it is a place of foundational spiritual significance for the entire nation, and what happens there matters far beyond its borders.That conviction drives this episode of the Virginia Pray Now monthly call, hosted by Ken Miller of America Pray Now. Pastor Fox, who has served in pastoral ministry in the Hampton Roads area for thirty-five years, joins the call to share his burden for Virginia Beach and to make a case that the church in that city, and perhaps across the country, has quietly retreated from one of its most essential callings: corporate, focused, expectant prayer.The historical foundation Pastor Fox returns to is the 1607 landing at Cape Henry, where the first English settlers knelt and dedicated the land to Jesus Christ before they did anything else. Fox sees this act as more than a historical footnote. He believes it established a spiritual root for the nation, and that the health or brokenness of this region flows outward into the rest of America. This is not background information to him. It is the reason Virginia Beach carries unusual weight in the spiritual geography of the country, and the reason its current struggles demand serious attention from the church.Those struggles have become visible in disturbing ways. Over consecutive weekends, the Virginia Beach oceanfront saw multiple-victim shootings that shocked the city and led officials to impose curfews that are essentially unprecedented for a place that has long prided itself on being one of the safest large cities in the nation. The tourism industry, central to the city's economy, took an immediate hit. But Pastor Fox is less concerned with the economic impact than with what these events reveal. He describes the violence and the depression gripping young people as a canary in the coal mine, a signal that something is deeply wrong beneath the surface of community life. His point is not to catastrophize, but to name the moment clearly: the city is hurting, and the church needs to move toward that hurt rather than away from it.At the center of his concern is what he sees as the slow erosion of corporate prayer and community engagement within evangelical churches. He traces this shift across roughly twenty-five years. A generation ago, weekly prayer meetings and active evangelism teams were standard features of church life. Today, those practices have largely disappeared. Churches, in his assessment, have become proficient at serving their own members while losing their outward orientation toward the community. The result is a spiritual vacuum. The church has stepped back from standing in the gap for the vulnerable and the lost, and that withdrawal has consequences.Pastor Fox is careful not to offer despair as a conclusion. Instead, he points toward specific, actionable responses. The first is directed at civil leadership. He believes Mayor Bobby Dyer of Virginia Beach has a unique opportunity and responsibility to call the city to a day of prayer and fasting. Fox cites historical precedents with striking specificity: Abraham Lincoln's call to prayer during the Civil War, King George's call for national prayer before the Dunkirk evacuation, and Governor Pillsbury of Minnesota, who faced a devastating locust plague in the 1870s and declared a day of prayer after all other remedies had failed. In each case, according to Fox, the response from God was measurable and swift. His argument is that a mayor carries a level of credibility and reach that can mobilize diverse houses of worship in ways that individual pastors cannot. When a civic leader stands up and calls people to pray, something shifts.But the second, and ultimately more foundational, response must come from pastors themselves. Fox is direct: if the pastor does not model and lead corporate prayer, the congregation will not follow. He challenges church leaders to move away from broad, unfocused prayer requests and toward specific, sustained intercession on defined topics over a period of months. This approach, he argues, allows people to see that their prayers are actually producing results, which builds faith and increases participation. He also presses the issue of repentance, not only personal repentance, but what he calls foundational repentance for the ancestral sins connected to the Jamestown colony, including the early exploitation of indigenous people and the origins of the slave trade in America. He frames the confession of these sins as a biblical act, necessary before God can fully heal the land.The call closes with an extended time of intercession led by Ken Miller, Pastor Fox, and America Pray Now Director Hanna Alway. Their prayers are specific: wisdom for city officials, judges, and law enforcement; protection over the young people of Virginia Beach; a fresh move of the Spirit across the region. They also address a redistricting proposal on the upcoming ballot, urging listeners to engage with it as a matter of justice and righteous representation.The episode ends with a thirty-day prayer commitment focused on Virginia Beach, rooted in the belief that what God does there does not stay there. It ripples outward. The church's job is not to wait for conditions to improve. It is to pray, repent, engage, and trust that God responds when His people ask with faith and specificity.

Art Papers, Fire Ecology, and Ending Well This week on Bad at Sports, we sit down in Atlanta with Sarah Higgins, Executive and Artistic Director of Art Papers, during the Art Papers symposium. What unfolds is a candid, generous, and surprisingly hopeful conversation about what it means to end something well. As Art Papers approaches its final chapter after nearly 50 years, Higgins lays out a model for institutional closure that resists panic, rejects compromise, and instead asks: what if ending is a form of contribution? From the "fire ecology" framework to radical transparency about budgets, labor, and sustainability, this conversation moves from grief to strategy to something like collective possibility. Along the way: the death of art criticism models, nonprofit fatigue, Chicago parallels, and why maybe nobody is coming to save us.

A mysterious armored skeleton discovered in 1831 sets the stage for a sweeping journey into America's earliest days.  In this premiere episode of The American Story: the Beginnings, we trace the chain reaction that led from Columbus' westward gamble to Martin Luther's world-shaking Reformation, and finally to the deadly struggle for survival at Jamestown.  John Smith's capture, Pocahontas' dramatic intervention, the Starving Time, the rise of tobacco, the first representative assembly, and the early roots of slavery all collide in this gripping narrative.  It's a story of ambition, faith, conflict, and providence – revealing how a swampy outpost in Virginia became the unlikely birthplace of a new nation.

The Day Rhode Island GaspedColumbus Day 1910, the Fabre Line, and the Italian immigrants who transformed Natick and Pontiac.If you had stood along the main road through the villages of Natick and Pontiac in the early 1900s, you would have heard a medley of accents and languages. The British, the Irish, the Swedes, and the French-Canadians had all come before, each group finding its place in the textile mills that lined the Pawtuxet River. But by the dawn of the twentieth century, it was the Italians who were arriving in ever-growing numbers, and they were the latecomers. As many historians have pointed out, their experience followed a familiar pattern: they took the lowest-paying jobs, lived in the poorest housing, and clung fiercely to their ethnic identity. In the crowded mill villages of Rhode Island, this was simply what happened to each new wave of strangers. Of course, Italians were no strangers to the New World. Long before the mills of Natick ever hummed with machinery, Italian mariners had charted the very course to the Americas. Think of Christopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, John and Sebastian Cabot—whose family name was really Caboto—and Giovanni da Verrazzano. Their ships had opened the Atlantic like a book. Even in the earliest colonial days, Italian families had found their way to what would become the United States. The Tagliaferro family, for instance, settled in Jamestown, Virginia, within just a year of Roger Williams founding Rhode Island. And when the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, one of the men who put his name to it was William Paca, a Maryland delegate of Italian heritage. Later, during the Civil War, three Italian Americans rose to the rank of general on the Union side. So the Italian presence in America was nothing new. But the great tide of immigration that would reshape places like Natick and Pontiac was still to come. That tide began to swell in the 1860s, when the demand for labor to build the Transcontinental Railroad drew thousands of workers from southern Italy, Ireland, and China. One of those men was Carmine DiFranco. He came to help lay track, lived for a time in California, and eventually settled in Natick, where he opened a small grocery store that catered to Italian tastes and needs—a quiet sign that a community was taking root.Yet the major impact of Italian immigration in New England was not truly felt until the early twentieth century. Southern Europe's economy had soured, while Rhode Island's textile mills were desperate for cheap, willing hands. The pull was irresistible. Once the influx began, Italians arrived in numbers no one had quite anticipated. Charles Carroll, in his book Rhode Island: Three Centuries of Democracy, captures the moment of awakening perfectly. He writes that Rhode Island scarcely realized the volume of Italian immigration until the first observance of Columbus Day as a public holiday in 1910. What had been expected to be just another parade—in a city already known as "the paradingest city"—turned into something far larger. For hours, Carroll says, Italian divisions poured through the city streets in rapid succession. And then he delivers the unforgettable image: the whole state gasped at the discovery, rubbed its eyes to test the reality of what seemed plausible only as a dream. In a single day, Rhode Island became aware of its Italian population.But consciousness, unfortunately, soon curdled into fear. The migration continued at an unrelenting pace until 1921, when prejudice in Washington finally found its voice. Congress passed the Emergency Quota Act in 1921, followed by the National Origins Quota Act in 1924. These laws were aimed squarely at Italians, Jews, and Slavs, and they succeeded in slowing the flow from southern Europe. Even so, between 1898 and 1932, nearly fifty-five thousand Italians arrived at the Port of Providence alone. Read the Full Content
