In this episode, we take an unflinching look at one of the most notorious serial killers in American history. Theodore Robert Bundy murdered at least thirty women across seven states during the 1970s, and his case forever changed how we understand the nature of predatory violence.This is the complete story of Ted Bundy, from his troubled beginnings to his final moments in Florida's electric chair. We open on a summer afternoon at Lake Sammamish State Park in Washington State, where a handsome young man with his arm in a sling approached woman after woman, asking for help with his sailboat. Two of those women would never be seen alive again, and their disappearances would mark a turning point in one of the largest manhunts in Pacific Northwest history.The story begins in 1946 at the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers in Burlington, Vermont, where a young woman named Louise Cowell gave birth to a son she could not publicly claim as her own. We explore the elaborate family deception that followed, with Ted being raised to believe his grandparents were his parents and his mother was merely his older sister. We examine the household dynamics in Philadelphia, including accounts of his grandfather Samuel Cowell's violent temper, and we follow the family's cross-country relocation to Tacoma, Washington, where Louise would eventually marry a hospital cook named Johnnie Bundy.From there, we trace Ted's development through childhood and adolescence. We look at his struggles to connect with peers, his early fascination with violence and true crime, his nighttime prowling through neighborhoods, and the petty thefts that taught him he could take what he wanted without consequence. We follow him to the University of Washington, where he reinvented himself as a charming political operative and met the wealthy young woman whose rejection would send him spiraling into darkness. The heart of this episode chronicles Ted Bundy's years of murder. Beginning with the attack on Karen Sparks in January 1974 and the disappearance of Lynda Ann Healy just weeks later, we document the wave of terror that swept through the Pacific Northwest as young women vanished from college campuses and public spaces. We cover each known victim, the circumstances of their disappearances, and the desperate efforts of investigators who were working without the benefit of modern forensic tools or computerized databases. We examine the critical turning point at Lake Sammamish, where multiple witnesses saw the same man approaching women and where a composite sketch finally gave investigators something to work with. We reveal how Ted Bundy's own girlfriend reported her suspicions to police and how his name was lost in a pile of thousands of tips.The narrative follows Bundy to Utah, where he enrolled in law school and immediately began hunting again. We cover the murders of Nancy Wilcox, Melissa Smith, Laura Aime, and Debra Kent. We give particular attention to the attack on Carol DaRonch, the young woman who fought back and escaped, providing investigators with their first surviving witness who could identify her attacker. We then trace the crimes into Colorado and Idaho, documenting the murders of Caryn Campbell, Julie Cunningham, Denise Oliverson, Lynette Culver, and Susan Curtis. We explore how investigators across multiple states were slowly beginning to connect the dots, recognizing patterns that suggested a single killer was responsible for disappearances spanning thousands of miles. The capture of Ted Bundy receives detailed attention, beginning with the routine traffic stop by Utah Highway Patrol Sergeant Bob Hayward that revealed a car full of disturbing items. We cover Bundy's conviction for the kidnapping of Carol DaRonch and his extradition to Colorado to face murder charges.Two full chapters are devoted to Ted Bundy's escapes from custody. The first escape came when he leaped from a second-story window of the Pitkin County Courthouse in Aspen, leading authorities on a six-day manhunt through the Colorado mountains. The second escape was even more audacious, with Bundy sawing through the ceiling of his cell and walking out the front door of the Garfield County Jail on the night of December 30th, 1977. We follow Bundy to Florida, where he committed his most violent attacks. The Chi Omega sorority house massacre is covered in detail, documenting how Bundy killed two young women and severely injured three others in a span of minutes. We also cover his final victim, twelve-year-old Kimberly Leach, who was abducted from her junior high school in Lake City just weeks later.The legal proceedings receive thorough examination. We cover the groundbreaking Miami trial, one of the first to be televised nationally, where Bundy represented himself and was ultimately convicted based on eyewitness testimony and forensic bite mark evidence. We also cover the subsequent trial for the murder of Kimberly Leach and the failed insanity defense.The episode concludes with Bundy's nine years on death row, his eventual confessions to investigators, and his execution on January 24th, 1989. We examine his final interview with Dr. James Dobson, in which he blamed his crimes on pornography, and we consider the complicated legacy he left behind.Throughout this episode, we keep the focus where it belongs, on the victims. We name every known victim and honor their memory, reminding listeners that behind the sensational headlines were real women whose lives were cut short by a predator who exploited their trust and kindness.The Ted Bundy case fundamentally changed American law enforcement. It contributed to the creation of the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program and helped establish the modern science of criminal profiling. But perhaps its most important legacy is the warning it provides.Evil does not always announce itself. Sometimes it comes with a warm smile and a request for help. Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, it probably is.

Tune in as guest speaker Pastor Justin Davis delivers Gods word in our standalone series One Thing.
No matter who you are, what you've lived through, or where you've come from, the story of how God relentlessly pursues us has the power to change our lives. He chose to come down to our messy, broken world, to prove His great love. Rather than us reaching up to heaven, heaven came down to earth. --- In the good and the bad, the mountains and the valleys, God is with you. Tune in to Week Four of God With Us as Pastor Skyler touches on how even in the waiting, God is with us!
In a world chasing after new answers every January, Luke 3:1-20 reminds us that God has already spoken with shocking clarity in real history: he broke centuries of silence through John the Baptist to announce that the Messiah has arrived, judgment is coming, and now is the time to receive the good news, repent from your sins, and unashamedly follow Christ publicly. When the Judge finally separates the wheat from chaff, what will your life reveal about who you truly trusted?
ORIGINAL AIR DATE: MAR 5, 2016In this FRINGE FLASHBACK! series, we feature Dr. Michael Heiser's analysis of the Book of Revelation, with emphasis on the relationship between "angels" and "stars". Please join us for this classic episode of Naked Bible Podcast: Episode 90: Lake of FireThis episode examines judgment themes in Revelation and 1 Enoch, where bound "stars of heaven" (1 Enoch 21:3) are described as transgressing angelic beings, directly paralleling Job 38's "stars of God" as divine entities.This episode discusses why hellfire in the New Testament is associated with “the devil and his angels" (Matt 25:41). Where does that idea come from? There are in fact earlier books that are the basis for this language—inside and outside the Old Testament.
In 1 Samuel 10, Saul is anointed as Israel's first king—but when it's time to step up, he's found hiding among the baggage. In this message, we explore how fear often disguises itself as humility, how our baggage becomes a place we hide instead of heal, and why God still calls us forward anyway. If […]

A bombshell new report claims that Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida sent women to Jeffrey Epstein's home for years, allegedly to give him massages. The women that were sent to Epstein's home warned others about his dangerous behavior, so if this story is accurate, that means there's little to no chance that Mar-a-Lago didn't know exactly what was going on. This week, Donald Trump vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have created a pipeline to deliver clean drinking water to more than 50,000 Colorado residents. This didn't sit well with longtime Trump ally Lauren Boebert - a representative from Colorado - and she tore into the President, accusing him of vetoing the pipeline out of anger over her insistence on releasing the Epstein Files. There are a couple other reasons this likely happened, but Boebert's vote on the files certainly played a role. During a segment on Newsmax this week, Kari Lake demanded that the Department of Justice go after Donald Trump's political enemies - as if they haven't been trying, and failing, at doing that for the past year. Lake went totally off the rails in the segment, reminding everyone that she might be the most mentally unstable member of the Trump administration, even though she remains one of the most irrelevant members of the administration. MAGA fanatics who forked out $500 for a tacky "Trump Phone" nearly a year ago are going to have to wait even longer for their garbage to arrive, as the Trump Organization announced that the phones were being delayed AGAIN. This isn't the first time that the company has failed to deliver at their promised deadline, as they have pushed back the release multiple times in just the last few months. There's a chance the phones never arrive at all, and MAGA will just have to come to terms with the fact that they keep falling for such obvious swindles.Republican lawmakers know that 2026 is probably going to be a very bad year for them, and they have just one request of Donald Trump: Don't make it worse! Unfortunately, Trump isn't capable of doing that, and Republicans in Congress have now lost faith with Trump because they view him as far too "out of touch." It isn't just that he can't or won't work on economic issues, it is that he won't stop the stupid vanity projects that are angering the public while going out on tour and bragging about how great he is.The Democratic Party ended 2025 with another massive victory in an area of the country that they typically can't win in. This particular win happened in an election in Iowa, where Democrat Renee Hardman pulled off a stunning victory to prevent Republicans in the state from having a supermajority in the Senate. This is more proof that the Trump Effect is real, and voters are turning against Trump and the Republican Party in ways we couldn't have expected a year ago.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

I am delighted to have Dr. Austin Lake with me for a two-part series. In Part 1 today, we dive into women's health, exploring the importance of informed consent around birth control and of finding the root cause of why it was prescribed for you. How to avoid the methylation problems with long-term birth-control use: • Avoid folic acid, and take active folate to counter folate loss • Maintain adequate B6 to prevent methylation from stalling • If you have MTHFR, take active folate instead of synthetic folic acid to support proper methylation Bio: Dr. Austin Lake Dr. Austin Lake is a functional medicine provider, health educator, and founder of Wholly Health, a transformative health program that helps individuals restore energy, balance hormones, and reclaim health using holistic, evidence-based strategies. He holds a doctorate in physiotherapy, a bachelor's degree in exercise physiology, and board certification in functional medicine. He has guided thousands of clients through challenges like chronic fatigue, weight struggles, autoimmune disorders, thyroid imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction—addressing the true root causes rather than masking symptoms with pharmaceuticals or medical procedures. His passion for holistic health was born out of personal experience: watching his brother battle leukemia, his father suffer multiple heart attacks, and his mother live with autoimmune disease. These trials forged a mission to uncover why people get sick—and how to truly heal. Grounded in biblical principles, Dr. Lake's approach integrates faith, science, and natural healing. He empowers individuals to break free from the cycle of prescription dependency and to steward their health with intention. With a following of about 1.5 million across social media platforms, his work reaches a global audience with practical insights, myth-busting education, and faith-driven encouragement. When not working with clients or educating online, Dr. Lake enjoys time with his wife, Carlie, and their four children, where they live a simple, natural life centered around faith, family, and wellness. He is also a passionate advocate for homeschooling and equipping the next generation for healthy, purpose-filled lives. His mission is simple: to help people reclaim their health, their vitality, and their God-given potential—one life at a time. In this episode: Dr. Lake recounts his social media controversies How long-term birth control alters B6, folate, zinc, and copper levels, impairs methylation, and disrupts hormone balance How to support methylation Ways to address heavy cycles, acne, or hormonal imbalances without relying on birth control How good nutrition, hydration, and maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm can help you balance your hormones The value of reducing chronic stress to prevent cortisol-driven hormone shifts The importance of avoiding xenoestrogens and supporting detox pathways Links and Resources: Get a 10% discount on Dr. Lake's recommended best basic supplements Purchase Dr. Austin Lake's ebook, Wholly Health Dr. Lake's free health quiz Guest Social Media Links: Dr. Austin Lake on Instagram Dr. Austin Lake on Facebook Relative Links for This Show: Your Longevity Blueprint: Methyl B Complex – 60 capsules Your Longevity Blueprint Omega 3s – 60 capsules Follow Your Longevity Blueprint On Instagram|Facebook|Twitter|YouTube |LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray On Facebook|Instagram|Youtube |Twitter |LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast production by Team Podcast

Ever seen a town pop up on a frozen bay? We sat down with Donnie Crowder of Hot Box Huts to explore how a three-hut hobby became “Hogtown,” a 52‑hut ice fishing village on Lake Simcoe built around safety, comfort, and catching more fish. An early cold snap laid down a rare shelf of white ice, and Donnie explains how that milky layer creates low light cover in three feet of water—turning the shallows into one giant dock where perch and pike cruise all day.We dig into the nuts and bolts of an on‑ice operation: staging lightweight huts during a soft start, running covered sleighs for short, safe rides, and staffing the village so someone actually knocks on the door to help you dial in your rig. Donnie shares the “runway” layout along a gradual drop that tracks how perch move from shallow to deep, why schooling behaviour makes efficiency everything, and how a beaded spoon out-fishes bait when the school arrives. For families and first‑timers, sight fishing in clear, shallow water becomes an instant tutorial. For gearheads, underwater cameras reveal tiny tells—gentle flares, bloodworm rooting—that change your presentation and your results.Predators add drama and insight. Pike ride high, hunting shadows under the ice, so quick‑strike rigs set inches below the surface can be startling and deadly. We also get into harvest choices on a heavily fished but healthy bay, why leaving 14‑inch breeders helps the biomass, and how short modern seasons compare to those in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Donnie's tech philosophy is practical: live scope for specific situations, cameras for learning, and a 24/7 YouTube lake cam that doubles as a safety update and a front‑row seat to passing bald and golden eagles.If you've wanted a winter day that feels welcoming instead of punishing, this one's for you. Warm huts, clean washrooms, kids fed through a new on‑ice food partner, and nonstop lessons that make your next drop better than the last. Hit play to learn how to read white ice vs black ice, set up for perch that won't sit still, and turn a frozen bay into a place your whole crew can love.Enjoyed this conversation? Follow and subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a winter adventure, and leave a review to help more anglers and families find the show.
Welcome to the Hogwarts Professor New Year's Celebration! John and Nick look back to a packed 2025, as John looks forward to big changes in 2026. From the marathon Kanreki celebration in July to the joys of sharing The Hallmarked Man with friends around the world and plans for The Hogwarts Professor in 2026. John Granger, Nick Jeffery and the HogPro faculty wish you and your families a happy, healthy and fulfilled new year!1.) John, this time last year you said “I'm hopeful that 2025 will be the most exciting year in Hogwarts Professor's 20+ year history, at least the busiest since the madhouse period following the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” As someone who was part of the initial fandom frenzy, how did this year compare?Not anything like 2007 which was a continuous love fest for Harry Potter and that series' author, Woman of the Year, etc. I was on national teevee repeatedly in the run-up to Deathly Hallows publication and the weblog and podcasts and book sales and speaking dates all did numbers they will almost certainly never do again. Rowling world was the world undivided and I rode that tsunami wave for several years afterwards.Times have changed. Rowling is a much more influential and consequently divisive figure. Her legacy is proving to be at least as great in the political realm as it is in literature with almost 14 million people reading her tweets and her books not selling that well if very well by any other measure.And our role at Hogwarts Professor has changed correspondingly. We sided with Team Rowling against the Gender Theory Extremists in 2020 and were cancelled in consequence. No book deals, no speaking dates, and no podcasts because I refused to bend the knee to Potter fandom's collective effort to cancel Rowling as a transphobic murderer for stating simple biological and psychological truths.In 2025, though, as I hoped last December and January, we re-emerged as leaders of the Royal Society of Rowling Readers. I am still ostracised, of course, from Potter fandom conventions and the like as well as from Strike podcasts, but our conversations, Nick, have an ever growing following globally and locally and one participating in the best conversations anywhere about the artistry and meaning of Rowling's work.It's been a great year and I am again hopeful, especially in light of our move east, that 2026 will be another break through year at Hogwarts Professor.Nick and John share their highlights of 2025 - 2.) Non-Rowling HogPro HighlightNick - Suzanne Collins - Sunrise on the Reaping Elizabeth Baird-Hardy's posts inspired me to not just read the Hunger Games series, but Gregor the Overlander as well.John: The closing of ‘The Rowling Library' magazine3.) Highlight from the Lake:Nick - Rowling's blood disorder - von Willebrand DiseaseJohn: Tough Call! High on my list were (1) Rowling's legal fund for defending women discriminated against for gender critical beliefs and (2) Rowling in Greenland but I'm going to go with both Rowling's 7 August ‘Lake and Shed' Tweets and Rowling's 12 September ‘Changes in Beliefs' tweeting post Charlie Kirk.4.) Highlight from the Shed:Nick - the Golden Threads! We have shared “Pregnancy Traps” and “Lost Child” threads this year which join “Bad Dad” and “Ghosts” which feature front and centre in “Hallmarked Man” John: Mythology – the forgotten Shed tool or more precisely the one neglected by even the most serious Strikers and Potter Pundits despite our efforts here really came to the fore in the wake of Rowling's tweet post Hallmarked Man kerfuffle along with the advent of mythological mavin Dimitra Fimi's into our conversations.5.) Highlight from Rowling Inc:Nick - The all-cast audio editions of Harry PotterJohn: Casting decisions about Bronte Studios/Netflix casting decisions for the small screen teevee adaptations – Black Snape!6.) Highlight from The Hallmarked Man release:Nick - That first English language sneak peek from Germany and the Robin ectopic pregnancy reveal!John: The realisation that for the first time Rowling wasn't writing a self-contained Strike mystery with over-arching story details but the first of a three-part series-ending piece in which many of the players from the book will be returning in feature roles.7.) Highlight book 9 and 10 tease:John - Cupid and PsycheNick - J. K. Rowling's fourth (or fifth) charm bracelet.8.) John Introduces the Kanreki Project and its relationship to fourth generation potter scholarship….· 55 total Substack posts 2023-2024· 3 posts Jan-June 2025…· 31 posts in July and 34 since (today #69)The Goal: Shift the Rowling Reader focus from latest book to work as a whole with the three critical taxonomy categories of Lake springs, Shed tools, and Golden Thread as our guides or lensesThe Means: the Kanreki blitz of Lake, Shed, and Golden Thread highlights from all of Rowling's work in celebration of Rowling's 60th birthday (the old) and the follow-up engagement with Serious Strikers before and after the publication of Hallmarked Man (the new)The Results:We nowhere near the finish line or even, I think, the avalanche tipping point that an authorised critical biography will push us over, but we have cleared the forest and prepared the field for that event, work that we will take another quantum leap forward in 2026 with our Lake, Shed, and Golden Thread Rowling Studies 101 online class.Which is to say that this is the year that the Substack Platform has really taken off, with an engaging and intelligent comments section that is really unparalleled, certainly J. K. Rowling fandom. I think much of this has been generated by our video conversations here. We have moved from the audio only Rowling Studies podcast; Nick, as the technical wizard, can you give us a peek behind the curtain? How have we done this, and what's next?9.) One of the reasons I'm exploring better quality audio and video, is that we can start creating content that can be used as a reference, potentially for many years. Once we can do this, then we can start offering online courses, can we say anything yet about our plans, John?John: As soon as I'm settled in, we'll finish the Hallmarked Man ring charting (I've been listening to the painful Part Five chapters while packing…) and then offer a free five part introduction to L/S/GT thinking and survey of what is known in those categories followed by a ten week course for those wanting a much deeper appreciation of Rowling, roots, branches, and leaves10.) John and Nick Wish Fulfillment Predictions for 2026John: Special guests on our shows – Elizabeth Baird-Hardy, Beatrice Groves, Lindsey and Company from Strike FansNick: A proper interview with Beatrice Groves, Dimitry Fimi or John Granger. I'm more than happy to be the impartial invigilator.John: Critical Biography news, More Rowling Biographical RevealsNick: A biography! (Authorised)John: Michael is Doorstepped and Tells All!Nick: A book! We know Rowling has the plots for a further 5 books one of which is “futuristic” but not set in space. But not the WB television reboot, that is scheduled for 2027!John: Rowling Confirms ‘Ending Trilogy Theory'Nick: Rowling to talk about Fantastic Beasts – this will be difficult… John: Rowling is Special Guest on Hogwarts Professor ShowNick: A get together, with The HogPro team.Apologies for limited commenting on threads and posting during my family relocation!Thank you for your patience, support, and prayers since November and in the coming month!

In this episode, we examine the Somali fraud scandal impacting Minnesota and the innovative legislative response proposed by Missouri State Treasurer Vivek Malek. As we discuss the alarming rise in welfare fraud and the implications for both legal and illegal immigration, Malik shares insights on a groundbreaking bill aimed at preventing unauthorized foreign remittances. Next, we delve into President Trump's recent designation of fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, exploring its implications on drug trafficking and national security. Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense David Lasseter joins us to discuss how this policy impacts coordination among government agencies and the potential threats posed by weaponized fentanyl. We also examine the broader strategy against drug trafficking from countries like Venezuela and the economic repercussions of these actions. Finally, we welcome AMAC Action Senior Vice President Andy Mangione to discuss the significant legislative accomplishments of the Trump administration as we approach 2026. Andy highlights key wins such as the Lake and Riley Act, the Halt Fentanyl Act, and the impactful One Big Beautiful Bill, which includes tax deductions for seniors and healthcare reforms. He also shares victories at the state level, including election integrity measures in Ohio and hospital price transparency in Oklahoma. As we look ahead, Andy outlines AMAC's priorities for 2026, including the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act and mobilizing voters for the upcoming midterms.
