One evening in May of 2011, tornado sirens went off in a small Missouri city called Joplin. Thousands of homes were destroyed in the tornado, about a third of the town's 50,000 residents were displaced and around 160 people died. And in the months following the tornado, the town became known not just for the destruction, but the kindness and cooperation that led to its recovery. Scientists who have studied behavior after mass traumas say, disasters can spark an outpouring of kindness and powerful bonds between strangers. Reporter Pauline Bartolone joins Short Wave co-host Emily Kwong to share the science behind this phenomenon.Interested in more science?

Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality. We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. First, we want to express our sincere thanks for everyone who contributed to the KKFI Summer FUND Drive. Because of your support, we are able to continue to produce vital programs to connect you with others. A special kind of person appreciates a non-commercial community-based station like KKFI. You are listening right now and you get informed, entertained, inspired, even captivated. Your mind is engaged. This is programming that matters, for people who care. On Jaws of Justice, Bev Livingston opens our hour speaking with her guest, Sheena Rogers from the Joplin area. She's founder of Show Me Justice for All and From the Trenches Ministry. https://showmejusticeforall.org/ https://www.facebook.com/people/From-The-Trenches-Ministries/61585573536731/ Show Me Justice for All is a non-profit organization which fights for freedom, dignity, and justice for every person harmed by the criminal legal system. Born from lived experience, their work focuses on ending the harsh and inhumane sentences that keep people imprisoned for decades - including life without parole, and uplifting those who have been criminalized simply for surviving violence. They also advocate for abolishing the death penalty and advancing humane, restorative approaches to justice. They stand beside incarcerated people and their families, helping them navigate a system designed to silence them. They provide reentry support, community resources, and unwavering advocacy for fair and compassionate policies at every level of government. Sheena Rogers is a nationally respected justice reform advocate, criminal law paralegal, and keynote speaker whose work is grounded in lived experience, resilience, and a relentless commitment to transforming the U.S. prison system. Sentenced to juvenile life without parole and surviving 25 years in a Missouri prison, Sheena rebuilt her life from inside, first as a jailhouse lawyer and now as a trained criminal paralegal fighting nationwide for those still behind the walls. She is the founder and executive director of two grassroots organizations: Show Me JUSTICE FOR ALL, where she lobbies from Washington, D.C. to state capitals for meaningful policy reform, and From the Trenches Ministries, which supports individuals returning from incarceration and those impacted by addiction and homelessness. After the calendar, the second half of our hour will feature The Dark Side of the Ball from: the broadcast series produced by Victor Palomino, Futbol Is My Life. Ready to explore the beautiful game where soccer meets politics? This episode sits down with Professor Kirk Bowman, who turned his passion into a career studying the powerful connection between soccer and politics. Professor Bowman shares his incredible origin story, from watching Honduras qualify for the 1980 World Cup to seeing how clubs in Buenos Aires form the whole identity of neighborhoods, demonstrating futbol's power to create community and unity. Professor Bowman offers his academic critique of the World Cup and discusses the ethical tightrope fans walk today, covering US host politics, visa uncertainty for qualifying teams and how social issues are often sidelined during the tournament. On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society. Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.
Pastor Joplin delivers the 2nd part of this series
This week on The Uncommon Good, Dr. Bud Maher flies solo while Bo Bonner continues his doctoral studies in England. His guest is Dr. Stephen Lawson, a longtime friend and newly appointed associate professor of theology at Newman University in Wichita, Kansas — a position so new he hasn't appeared on the university's website yet. Check back at newman.edu this fall to follow his work. The Stone-Campbell Movement Dr. Lawson grew up in Grayson, Kentucky, the son of two Bible college professors deeply rooted in the Stone-Campbell (restorationist) movement — a tradition that intentionally uses generic church names like "Church of Christ" or "Christian Church" to emphasize unity over denominationalism. He explains the movement's founding principle ("where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent"), its surprisingly robust understanding of baptism and weekly Eucharist, and how its Biblicist roots ironically pushed many of its most serious scholars toward deeper engagement with church history. The Academic Journey From Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri, to Emmanuel Christian Seminary, and finally to Saint Louis University's PhD program in historical theology, Dr. Lawson describes how immersion in the Cappadocian Fathers, Augustine, and patristic scholarship created a hunger the Stone-Campbell tradition couldn't fully satisfy. He reflects on a remarkable cohort of fellow Stone-Campbell scholars at SLU — including mutual friends Alex Giltner, Jordan Wood, and Alden Bass — many of whom have since entered the Catholic Church. Hauerwas, Peterson, and Newman Two thinkers proved pivotal: ethicist Stanley Hauerwas, whose radical ecclesiology pushed Lawson to ask serious questions about what the Church actually is, and Protestant-turned-Catholic theologian Erik Peterson (1890–1960), whose conversion story Lawson wrote his dissertation on. He was asked three times during his dissertation defense: Why aren't you Catholic? Landing the Airplane The decisive moment came when an institutional merger at Austin Graduate School of Theology — where Lawson was teaching — produced an administrator's claim that a theology degree was "basically the same thing" as a degree in marriage and family therapy. That reduction of Christianity to a subjective self-help tool made staying in a subjectivist tradition impossible. He and his wife Emily entered RCIA at St. Ignatius Martyr Church in Austin, Texas, and entered full communion with the Catholic Church. Their baptisms were recognized as valid; no rebaptism was needed. Teaching Theology Today After three years teaching at a Catholic high school in St. Louis, Dr. Lawson reflects on what really matters in the classroom. His approach shifted away from memorizing theological vocabulary toward helping students encounter Christ through texts — most notably, using Augustine's Confessions as a mirror for students to map their own spiritual geographies and key life moments. Pope Leo's Encyclical Dr. Lawson offers an early take on Magnificat Humanitas, Pope Leo's new encyclical on human dignity and artificial intelligence, describing it as a text with real, lasting impact — one that calls the Church back to the concrete, local, embodied person in an age of commodification and algorithmic control. He sees limited room for AI in theological education, where the goal is encounter, not output. Dr. Lawson's conversion essay is available through his Facebook page. Look for his published work in the Newman Studies Journal. Dr. Bud Maher teases a return visit to go deeper on the encyclical.

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Charles Suggs and Emma Whamond are joined by Ellyse Cedeno, founder of Heuristic Salvo and a software engineer and product leader with more than 25 years of experience across early internet platforms, gaming, health tech, and distributed systems. Ellyse shares the winding path that took her from early search engines and Netscape to game development, medical research at Mount Sinai, and eventually to Elixir. Along the way, she talks about staying curious over a long technical career, rediscovering joy through side projects, and why being willing to feel like a beginner again can be one of the most useful skills a developer can build. The conversation explores what it means to grow as an engineer in a world where AI tooling is becoming part of the everyday workflow. Ellyse makes the case that technical skill still matters, but the human parts of software development (like judgment, curiosity, communication, trust, and influence) are becoming increasingly important. We also talk about soft influence and how developers can create change inside organizations without relying on hard authority. Key Topics Discussed in this Episode: Ellyse's career path through early internet platforms, gaming, health tech, and distributed systems Moving from Netscape and search engines to medical research and software consulting Discovering Elixir through an interest in concurrent and distributed systems Why beginner's mindset still matters after decades in tech How neurodivergence, curiosity, and deep focus shape Ellyse's approach to programming Rediscovering joy in programming through side projects and experimentation Building an MMORPG game server in Elixir Exploring hardware, Nerves, and live theremin demos The role of passion projects in professional growth Protecting time for learning in productivity-focused environments Work-life balance differences between the U.S. and Europe How AI tools are changing expectations for modern developers Why AI does not replace judgment, taste, or technical understanding Understanding business needs instead of only focusing on technical preferences Introducing Elixir into a TypeScript-heavy organization Using Elixir microservices to solve specific technical problems What “soft influence” looks like in engineering teams Building trust through one-on-one conversations Knowing when influence is working and when it is not Negotiating technical decisions without turning them into power struggles The relationship between technical competence and interpersonal skill Managing imposter syndrome during pair programming and collaborative work Documentation as a visibility and ownership tool Community involvement, conference speaking, and finding your people Staying curious without burning out Why the human side of software development still matters Links Mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape Icahn School of Medicine at Mt.

Cheap Thrills -Big Brother and the Holding Company (Columbia) Released August 12, 1968Cheap Thrills by Big Brother and the Holding Company stands as one of the defining albums of the late 1960s, capturing the raw spirit of the San Francisco psychedelic scene at its peak. The record transformed Janis Joplin into a major cultural force through emotionally explosive performances on tracks like “Piece of My Heart” and “Ball and Chain.” Unlike many polished studio productions of the era, the album intentionally embraced a loose, gritty sound designed to recreate the energy of a live concert experience. The interplay between blues, psychedelic rock, and improvisational jamming gave the album its distinctive identity. While the band itself could sound chaotic at times, Joplin's intensity and phrasing elevated the material into something unforgettable. Commercially, the album became a massive success, reaching #1 on the Billboard charts and helping define the countercultural sound and attitude of 1968. (S5-EP 18)

The “butterfly people” refers to stories that emerged after the devastating 2011 EF5 tornado in Joplin, Missouri. 1,150 people injured. Over 158 killed. Survivors reported mysterious strangers — often dressed in white or appearing suddenly — helping pull people from rubble, giving aid, even flying them to heaven, and then disappearing without anyone being able to identify them afterward.Some interpret these accounts as something explainable and grounded in reality, while others view them as folklore that grew out of trauma, chaos, and the human need to find meaning in disaster. Some swear with everything they have that the creatures were real. Either way, the stories became a modern “guardian angel” legend tied to one of the deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history. But is it truly supernatural?-----------------Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate III-----------------This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience.-----------------

Rev. Vincent Joplin teaches from I Corinthians 6:1-8. Church conflict isn't the problem, how we handle it is, and when we choose pride, revenge, or public drama, we damage our witness and reflect the world instead of Christ. This message calls us higher: handle it in the house, choose mercy over being right, and trust God to bring real justice and healing.Stay connected with Hope Church Memphis:Website • HopeChurchMemphis.comInstagram • @Hope4MemphisTikTok • @Hope4MemphisFacebook • @Hope4MemphisPrayer • HopeChurchMemphis.com/PrayerGiving • HopeChurchMemphis.com/Give

Missouri - Springfield To St Louis Randy's Washington Travel Experiences Bubba and Randy discussed Randy's recent travel experiences, including his visit to Washington State and the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival near Bellingham. Randy explained the festival's timing and agricultural significance, noting that tulips only bloom for 3-4 weeks and the farmers harvest the buds for next year's planting. He also discussed Washington's apple orchards, which are located on the drier side of the Cascade Mountains, and Randy invited Bubba and Linda to visit the orchard country in the future. The conversation ended with Bubba mentioning they needed to continue discussing Route 66 from their previous week's podcast. Route 66 Ozarks Journey Discussion Randy and Bubba discussed their Route 66 journey through Missouri, focusing on the Ozarks region and comparing it to other mountain ranges. Beth provided insights about the geology of the Ozarks and their similarities to the Appalachians. They also talked about the distance between Lebanon, Missouri, and the Lake of the Ozarks and briefly mentioned the TV show "Ozark." The conversation included corrections about the location of Branson, which is more similar to Gatlinburg and Myrtle Beach than Joplin. Route 66 Discussion and Planning Bubba and Randy discussed Route 66, with Randy providing corrections about Steak 'n Shake being founded in Normal, Illinois, not Springfield. They talked about visiting various towns along the route, including Lebanon which has a Route 66 museum and park with murals. Randy shared an encounter with an elderly man showing off his Ford Galaxy at a Route 66 park, and they discussed the potential for conducting interviews with local enthusiasts for future documentation. Route 66 Photography Project Update Randy discussed his Route 66 photography project, including his collaboration with Route66photos.org to share historical and contemporary images of various towns along the route. He noted increased activity and events, such as new signage unveilings, particularly in Siligman, and observed that travelers are planning trips for May around Memorial Day. Randy also provided insights into the different alignments of Route 66 in Missouri, recommending taking the byways and loops to experience the diverse historical sections of the route.

He explained the history behind the town's name and described the murals in Cuba. Randy also recommended taking the original Route 66 from Gray Summit to St. Louis, highlighting the beautiful drive through suburban neighborhoods and the Gateway Arch, which he noted is the smallest national park in the country. Route 66 Discussion and Updates Randy and Bubba discussed the historical and current routes of Route 66 across the Mississippi River near St. Louis, highlighting the Chain of Rocks Bridge as a key historical site now closed to traffic. He shared personal anecdotes about traveling through challenging areas like Gary, Indiana, and discussed Randy's ongoing Route 66 photography project, which has generated significant engagement on their Facebook page with over 1 million monthly page views.

They covered the challenges of navigating different route alignments and the unique attractions along the way, including a stop at Gay Parita in Missouri. Randy explained that Joplin has become more of a tourist trap over time, with Route 66 originally passing through downtown rather than the newer attractions. Route 66 Decommissioning History Randy and Bubba discussed the history of Route 66, focusing on how different states decommissioned parts of the route before national decommissioning in the 1980s. Beth clarified that Missouri's segment was reduced towards Springfield rather than as far west as Joplin, and that California's segment was one of the last to be decommissioned. The conversation highlighted how Route 66's significance declined over time due to factors like the Great Depression, World War II, and the rise of interstates, though efforts continue to preserve its cultural heritage.

Randy noted he missed some interior photos during the initial trip and planned to return in the fall for more comprehensive documentation. Route 66 Historic Gas Station Randy shared photos of Route 66 drive-ins and discussed visiting a historic Sinclair gas station in Perida, Missouri, which has been family-owned for over 60 years. He interviewed George, who runs the station with his wife Barbara, learning that the property originally operated as a cattle ranch before becoming a gas station in 1926. The conversation highlighted the challenges of preserving historic Route 66 sites, with many towns along this "ghost stretch" of the highway now having minimal remaining landmarks. Route 66 Travel Experience Randy shared details about his recent Route 66 visit, including a stop at Gay Parita in Parita, Missouri, where he met a local character named George. He discussed the Route 66 Auto Museum in Springfield, which featured notable vehicles like the Batmobile and Ghostbusters ambulance. Randy also provided advice about navigating Route 66, suggesting that travelers follow multiple signs and explore different alignments to avoid missing attractions. Route 66 Travel Plans Discussion Randy discussed his upcoming travel plans, including visiting a car museum and exploring Springfield, Missouri, which is the birthplace of Route 66. They shared details about Springfield's historical sites, including an old barbershop and a museum dedicated to Route 66, as well as recommendations for dining at the College Street Cafe.

Strong Spring Run For Feeder Cattle Sales Feeder cattle sales continue their strong momentum in prices being commanded this past week. Easter Monday proved to be busy across much of cow country. Joplin, Missouri led the charge by running 7600 head across the scales with Sioux Falls, South Dakota at 2482 head, Kingdom City, Missouri at 1161 head, Gainesville, Missouri at just a tick over a thousand head and Paris, Kentucky at 943.
