Behind the Screen: The Impact of Cyberbullying on Adolescents and Teens Evaluation and Credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medchat83 Target Audience This activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers. Statement of NeedThis will be a two-part podcast that will focus on the psychological effects of cyberbullying and AI companions. This will be specific to adolescents and teens. As a result of the growing prevalence in digital engagement, a by-product has been cyberbullying. The psychological effects of cyberbullying are unique in that they differ from traditional bullying due to the anonymity and permanence. Additionally, with the growing popularity of AI companions a second podcast will address this topic. Both podcasts will address the psychological effects and provide tools for providers to use to screen for subtle signs as well as resources. Objectives Define cyberbullying and distinguish its varying levels of severity. Describe the psychological effects of cyberbullying and differentiate its impact from traditional bullying in pediatric populations. Identify clinical indicators, behavioral signs and psychosocial cues that may suggest that a patient is a victim of cyberbullying.

In a very special episode, host Todd Ritter travels back in time to sit down with a true titan of the bourbon industry: the ghost of Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. himself. Taking a brief leave from his permanent residence in the Frankfort Cemetery, the Colonel joins the show to tell his incredible life story in his own words. He recounts his early life, from being orphaned as a child and sent to live with a prominent guardian in New Orleans to being adopted by his uncle—the original Edmund Haynes Taylor—in Frankfort. Colonel Taylor explains how he learned the banking business first, giving him a unique financial insight into the successes and failures of Kentucky's early distillers. This business acumen, combined with access to the meticulous distilling notes of the legendary Dr. James C. Crow, set him on a path to revolutionize the industry. He details his trip to Europe to study Old World techniques, bringing back innovations like climate-controlled rickhouses and copper distilling equipment. He walks listeners through the founding of his iconic distilleries, from the O.F.C. and Hermitage to his ultimate masterpiece, the Old Taylor Distillery (now Castle & Key), a stunning "showcase" designed to be the birthplace of bourbon tourism. Along the way, he shares tales of his famous falling out with his one-time business partner, George T. Stagg. In the second half, the man behind the portrayal, Frankfort historian Russ Kennedy, steps out of character to join the show. Russ shares his own fascinating journey from being the "world's worst history student" to becoming one of Frankfort's most passionate historical storytellers. After a career with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, a post-retirement gig as a tour guide at the State Capitol ignited a love for local history. He discusses how he developed his craft, first portraying Frankfort's founder, Stephen Frank, before taking on the iconic role of Colonel Taylor. Russ talks about his work today, leading historical walking tours by appointment, making special appearances as the Colonel at distilleries and events, and his involvement in projects like the Frankfort bourbon history documentary. This unique episode is a departure from the usual tasting format, offering a rich, story-driven deep dive into the life and legacy of one of bourbon's most influential figures. Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, “The Bourbon Roadies” for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!

In this episode, Nicole and Diana discuss preparing for onsite research, focusing on the critical importance of thorough locality research and detailed planning. They explore Nicole's contrasting experiences with Love County, Oklahoma, where she conducted comprehensive research into the county's 1907 creation from Chickasaw Nation, clerk responsibilities, and record locations, versus her rushed approach to Hardin County, Kentucky, which led to challenges with the Kentucky Department of Library and Archives' broad catalog system and difficulty pinpointing specific materials. Through these examples, they emphasize the necessity of understanding jurisdiction formation dates, previous jurisdictions, extant records, and repository catalog systems before visiting archives. The discussion concludes with strategies for creating focused research plans that incorporate specific objectives, timelines, and locality guides, with Nicole sharing how newspaper clues and established timelines guided her Love County deed and tax record searches, while noting how she would improve her Hardin County approach by first reviewing index volumes to better prioritize useful records for onsite research.

2023 Weatherford Award Finalist, Nonfiction How can the craft of musical instrument making help reconnect people to place and reenchant work in Appalachia? How does the sonic search for musical tone change relationships with trees and forests? Following three craftspeople in the mountain forests of Appalachia through their processes of making instruments, Finding the Singing Spruce: Musical Instrument Makers and Appalachia's Mountain Forests (West Virginia UP, 2023) considers the meanings of work, place, and creative expression in drawing music from wood.

How does the sonic search for musical tone change relationships with trees and forests? Following three craftspeople in the mountain forests of Appalachia through their processes of making instruments, Finding the Singing Spruce: Musical Instrument Makers and Appalachia's Mountain Forests (West Virginia UP, 2023) considers the meanings of work, place, and creative expression in drawing music from wood. Jasper Waugh-Quasebarth explores the complexities and contradictions of instrument-making labor, which is deeply rooted in mountain forests and expressive traditions but also engaged with global processes of production and consumption. Using historical narratives and sensory ethnography, among other approaches, he finds that the craft of lutherie speaks to the past, present, and future of the region's work and nature. From West Virginia University Press Jasper Waugh-Quasebarth PhD is Director and Curator of the Gordon Art Galleries at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. He earned a PhD and MA in Anthropology from the University of Kentucky and a BA in Anthropology and History from the University of Virginia. He has held research, teaching, and administrative positions in Anthropology and Folklore Studies through his work with the Smithsonian Institution's Asian Cultural History Program, the University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology and Appalachian Center, and The Ohio State University Department of Comparative Studies and Center for Folklore Studies.
