Ep. 81: Young Adult (I Kissed Shara Wheeler + The Grace Year)

Summary: Whether you're young or just young at heart, the explosion of Young Adult novels in the last decade has made an impact on the publishing industry and readers alike. Today, Holly and Devin review YA stories from their wheelhouses, showing us the breadth and depth of YA stories - they can get intense, both romantically and horrifically.  Topics Discussed: The Heart (6:23): Devin discussed I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuinston, a YA romance following Chloe Green after her rival and prom queen Shara Wheeler kisses her and then disappears from their small Alabama community. Chloe teams up with Rory Heron and Smith Parker, who Shara also kissed, to find her. Along the way, they also realize they're finding themselves. Devin's key takeaways were:  The characters embark on a journey of self-exploration, grappling with their sexuality, ambitions, and the expectations imposed by their conservative community. McQuinston highlights the complexities of discovering and embracing one's true self, especially in a setting that demands conformity. The story explores the tension between individuality and societal pressures, especially within the confines of a rigidly conservative environment. Shara's mysterious game becomes a form of rebellion, challenging the rules and norms of their community while encouraging others to question them too. Through the unlikely alliances and shared experiences of Chloe, Rory, and Smith, the book examines the power of understanding and empathy. It underscores the importance of building authentic connections, healing fractured relationships, and finding common ground with others—even those you least expect. The Dagger (16:22): Holly discussed The Grace Year by Kim Liggett, a YA dystopian horror set in the fictional Garner County, in which a patriarchal society teaches girls they have the power to lure grown men from their beds and drive women mad with jealousy. As a result, each girl is banished from the community when they turn sixteen - they must release their magic into the wild so they can return purified and ready for marriage. Tierney James dreams of a better life, but as her own grace year draws near, she realizes that she has a lot more to fear than the brutal elements outside Garner County. Holly's key takeaways were: This story was particularly well suited for a young adult audience even though it clearly can resonate with anyone of any age. Liggett takes things that teens are dealing with, especially expectations and limitations on girls and women throughout history to today, and shows them in a new light by dialing them up to this extreme, dystopian level.  The Grace Year critiques societal systems that oppress women through fear, control, and systemic violence. The story explores how women are pitted against each other under patriarchal systems and how solidarity can emerge even in dire circumstances. The concept of "magic" is used metaphorically to explore how fear and myths are wielded as tools to control and subjugate populations. Tierney's struggle to survive physically and emotionally highlights themes of resilience and self-reliance inside of the restrictive bounds of that “magic.”  Hot On the Shelf (31:52): Devin: Single Player by Tara Tai Holly: Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao What's Making Our Hearts Race (36:21): Devin: Athletic Brewing NA Beer  Holly: Conclave   Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

This week on Echoes of Indiana Avenue we'll explore the music of the late Indianapolis saxophonist, band leader, and music educator Larry Leggett, known professionally as Larry Liggett. We'll share an hour of rare recordings from Liggett, including his work for the legendary Chicago label Chess Records.  Larry Liggett was born in Brazil, Indiana in 1921. He began playing music at an early age. At 10-years-old, he became the youngest member of the Brazil High School Marching Band. He continued to distinguish himself in college, becoming the first Black musician in the symphonic band and orchestra, at Indiana State University.  Liggett moved to Indianapolis during the 1940s and began teaching at Crispus Attucks High School in 1948. He continued working in the Indianapolis Public School system for the next 40 years. During that time, Liggett was performing jazz music at nightclubs across Indianapolis. Liggett also enjoyed success as a recording artist. During the 1950s, his recordings for Chess received national airplay.  In 2004 his contributions to Indiana music were acknowledged by the Indianapolis Jazz Foundation, who inducted Liggett into the Indianapolis Jazz Hall of Fame.

Can the justice system navigate through the turbulent waters of leaked documents and potential malpractice to deliver a fair trial in the high-profile Delphi murders case? This is the question looming over the case of Richard Allen, the man currently at the center of an unprecedented legal whirlwind, as discussed in the latest episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast with Tony Brueski, featuring former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani.    Last week, in a dramatic turn of events, Allen's attorneys were withdrawn from the case, leaving the accused in a solitary confined jail cell, awaiting the appointment of new counsel. The decision came after leaked documents from the defense's office raised serious concerns about the integrity of the legal proceedings. According to Rahmani, "the buck stops" with the lawyers, who are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of evidence, especially when it is subject to a protective order or under seal.    The leak has not only jeopardized Allen's case but has also opened the door for him to file a direct claim against his former attorneys for malpractice or a civil claim. As Rahmani explains, “Richard Allen has a claim against him, and there's an actual conflict.” This conflict necessitates the appointment of new counsel, further complicating an already complex legal saga.    The Delphi murders case has been a source of intrigue and speculation for years, capturing the attention of the public and the media alike. The arrest of Richard Allen brought a new twist to the cold case, with allegations of odinism and misconduct against law enforcement officers coming to light. The recent legal developments have only added to the mystery, with Rahmani noting that “this is one of the strangest cases that we've been following here for years now.”    The timing of these developments raises additional questions. The case was about to proceed to a Franks hearing, where damaging information against Tony Liggett and members of the police force was expected to be revealed. Defense attorney Bob Motta, who was present in the courtroom during the hearing, described Liggett and his crew as looking "very foreboding," adding to the cinematic feel of the proceedings.    But the focus of the discussion on "Hidden Killers" was not solely on the theatrics of the courtroom. Rahmani highlighted the serious implications of the leaked documents, emphasizing the responsibility of lawyers and their staff to maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information. “If you're a doctor or you're a lawyer, and you have access to confidential information, it's your job to keep that information confidential,” he stated.    The complexity of the case is evident, with multiple layers of legal, ethical, and procedural issues to navigate. The question of whether new counsel is in Allen's best interest remains open, with Rahmani pointing out that while his former attorneys appeared passionate about defending his innocence, their inability to prevent the leak is a significant problem.    The "Hidden Killers" podcast shed light on the intricate details of this legal saga, leaving listeners with a deeper understanding of the challenges ahead. As the case continues to unfold, the question remains: Can the justice system overcome these hurdles to ensure a fair trial for Richard Allen, or will the Delphi murders case be forever marred by this unprecedented series of events?

The recent legal developments have only added to the mystery, with Rahmani noting that “this is one of the strangest cases that we've been following here for years now.”    The timing of these developments raises additional questions. The case was about to proceed to a Franks hearing, where damaging information against Tony Liggett and members of the police force was expected to be revealed. Defense attorney Bob Motta, who was present in the courtroom during the hearing, described Liggett and his crew as looking "very foreboding," adding to the cinematic feel of the proceedings.    But the focus of the discussion on "Hidden Killers" was not solely on the theatrics of the courtroom. Rahmani highlighted the serious implications of the leaked documents, emphasizing the responsibility of lawyers and their staff to maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information. “If you're a doctor or you're a lawyer, and you have access to confidential information, it's your job to keep that information confidential,” he stated.    The complexity of the case is evident, with multiple layers of legal, ethical, and procedural issues to navigate. The question of whether new counsel is in Allen's best interest remains open, with Rahmani pointing out that while his former attorneys appeared passionate about defending his innocence, their inability to prevent the leak is a significant problem.    The "Hidden Killers" podcast shed light on the intricate details of this legal saga, leaving listeners with a deeper understanding of the challenges ahead. As the case continues to unfold, the question remains: Can the justice system overcome these hurdles to ensure a fair trial for Richard Allen, or will the Delphi murders case be forever marred by this unprecedented series of events? Only time will tell, but the eyes of the world are watching, waiting to see how this complex legal drama will play out. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Jazz88 Morning Show host Peter Solomon had the opportunity to sit down with Andy Mannix, Minneapolis Policing Reporter for the Star Tribune, about a "Curious Minnesota" feature on the murder of journalist Walter Liggett and the gangster accused of the crime, Isadore “Kid Cann” Blumenfeld. Blumenfeld was a Jewish immigrant who became extremely rich and influential in the Twin Cities during the prohibition era. He was accused of many crimes, but almost always skated. Liggett suspected him of engaging in business dealings with Minnesota Governor Floyd B. Olson. The story of Liggett's murder became so big that it knocked the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby off the front page of the papers.

In an era where true crime dominates headlines and TV screens, the conversation between Tony Brueski, host of "Hidden Killers" and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke delves into the perplexing Delphi murder investigation. But the real question that presents itself - is the integrity of investigations at stake when authorities, in their eagerness to close a case, become too attached to a particular narrative?    The focal point of the discussed episode revolves around Tony Liggett, the Carroll County Sheriff, and the accusations he faces. Richard Allen's defense team has alleged that Sheriff Liggett misrepresented an expert opinion about potential Odinist symbols found on the bodies of Abby Williams and Libby German. The Odinist theory suggests that certain patterns or symbols were present at the murder scene that might hint at a ritualistic motive. However, Liggett's declaration, made under oath, that a Purdue University professor did not find these to be Odinist symbols, has been starkly contested.    Dreeke weighs in on the topic, reflecting on the possibility of investigative tunnel vision, "Yeah, that's definitely what people do. I'm not saying this would happen here, but, once we say something, we get verbally obligated to continue down that path, unless you are a good seasoned investigator, you can actually redirect your path when you need to."    One cannot help but draw parallels with the many TV shows where investigators, sometimes, follow leads or theories with such vigor that they end up sidelining critical evidence or opinions that don't fit their narrative. As the podcast duo pointed out, even the Purdue professor, identified as Jeffrey Turcos, who originally provided the expert opinion on the Odinist symbols, seemed to have been sidelined when his views didn't align with the investigation's theory.    The defense's argument gains traction when considering the limited evidence against Richard Allen. The only tangible link, as discussed, is an unexpended bullet allegedly from one of Allen's weapons found at the crime scene. But as Brueski comments, "That is so thin." Further clouding the situation is a jail confession Allen purportedly made to his wife, a confession the defense argues was extracted under duress.    Yet, one gaping hole remains – motive. In many murder cases, there is often a discernible reason – be it financial gain, love, jealousy, revenge, or a myriad of other motivations. But in this case, the motive is conspicuously absent. Both Brueski and Dreeke seem perplexed. Dreeke emphasizes, "You and I have talked about so many cases... with most of them, especially with murder involved, I'm looking for, Who's getting the money, who's got retribution against so and so, crime of passion or premeditation... But this one, I'm like, what is it?"    The chilling possibility proposed towards the end of their discussion is the idea that the real culprit may still be out there, while Allen remains imprisoned on what appears to be thin evidence and an investigation riddled with questions.    The Delphi murder case, as dissected in the "Hidden Killers" podcast, presents more than just a whodunit. It underscores the importance of diligence, transparency, and above all, integrity in criminal investigations. Because when the very process meant to serve justice is questioned, it becomes essential to ask – how many more 'Richard Allens' might there be, paying the price for investigations that went astray?    In the end, as the podcast hosts suggest, the real tragedy lies in the loss of two young lives. Yet, as we reflect on the numerous twists and turns in the Delphi case, another pressing question emerges: Are we any closer to understanding the true events of that fateful day, or have we been led astray by a tangled web of misdirection and conjecture?

In the most recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, Trial Consultant and Body Language Expert Susan Constantine delved deep into an ongoing criminal case. The revelations from the conversation not only touch on a specific law enforcement figure's alleged omissions and misconduct but also raise broader concerns about the existence of organized and covert "evil" in society.    The focal point of their discussion was Tony Liggett, the Carroll County Sheriff. A 136-page document submitted by Richard Allen's defense claims that Liggett either ignored critical evidence or even lied about its existence. The core sentiment echoed by Brueski and Constantine was a clear mistrust in the system, and more broadly, a quest for truth in a world plagued by deception.    Constantine noted, "There's so much deception that's going on. Reports that go missing don't go missing because they go missing. They're going missing because somebody is hiding them." The implication is clear: there are elements within our system that might be actively working against the truth. But why?    The conversation took an even darker turn when the topic shifted to 'Odinism'. While no documented cases of Odinists performing human sacrifices exist, the larger issue at hand, as presented by the hosts, is the possibility of secretive underground cults, some satanic in nature, involved in heinous acts. The debate then revolved around whether some crimes, including the Delphi murders, could be linked to such cultic practices.    Constantine shared her belief about such dark societies. "I do believe that there are these cultic practices out there... Underground clubs, satanic movements that are happening and self-sacrificing." However, despite these strong allegations, it was clear from the conversation that proving these claims is complex and evidence might be scant.    Drawing parallels with other infamous cases, including the BTK killer, the crux of the discussion revealed a chilling possibility: individuals or even groups, leading seemingly normal lives by day, might be part of dark, underground networks by night.    Brueski hauntingly reflected, "There are boogeymen out there, there's more than we think there are... We see them even institutionally... when they work together, it creates like a mega super monster boogeyman."    Yet, what might be the driving force behind such increasing depravity? According to Constantine, a lack of empathy and emotion might be fueling this rise. "The human depravity has grown so rapidly that we have become desensitized to having emotion or feeling or empathy for other people."    Her assertion raises a pressing question: are we as a society, knowingly or unknowingly, facilitating the growth of such dark networks? Perhaps more troublingly, could there be external evil forces at play, influencing individuals to commit heinous crimes without remorse?    Concluding their conversation, Constantine made a bold statement, emphasizing her belief in true evil forces at work. "There is truly an evil force that is somehow inhabited these types of people that are there being able to do the things that they've done without a sort of conscious or repercussion of it."    This insightful episode of "Hidden Killers" not only sheds light on alleged misconduct in a single case but also forces listeners to confront larger, more profound questions. As we go about our daily lives, who might be lurking in the shadows, and more importantly, are we ready to confront the realities of organized evil?    How secure is the fabric of our society when secret organizations could be operating right beneath our feet?

By 1954 ninety-eight percent of homes had a radio set. There were still nineteen million U.S. houses that could only be reached by radio. Procter & Gamble led the way with over fourteen million dollars spent, and forty companies, including General Foods, Colgate-Palmolive, Liggett & Myers, Campbell's Soups, S.C. Johnson, and Coca-Cola spent at least one million dollars on radio advertising. However, the four national networks continued a five-year downward trend in radio ad sales. Network radio gross revenue peaked in 1948 at just under two-hundred million dollars. In 1953, it was down to one-hundred sixty million. While TV hadn't fully supplanted radio's total reach, it had decimated its prime-time audience share. On CBS-TV I Love Lucy led all shows with a rating of 58.8. It was seen in over fifteen million homes. Radio's top show, The Lux Radio Theater, was heard in just under three million. The networks reduced ad sale charges for the sixth consecutive year, hoping to offset TVs broadening market share. It didn't work. For the first time in sixteen years revenue fell. The only category to see an increase in sales was local advertising, and even that rose less than one percent. Shows canceled in the first half of 1954 included The Quiz Kids, Dr. Christian, Front Page Farrell, Bulldog Drummond, Rocky Fortune, Ozzie and Harriet, and The Six Shooter. West-coast actors, like Herb Vigran and Herb Ellis were moving into TV, but television was already going through budgetary changes. Radio's top show, People Are Funny had a rating of 8.4. Along with oncoming transistor sets, nearly thirty million cars now had radios, but there was still no system to measure this audience. The next year it was estimated that out-of-home listening added an additional forty percent to at-home audiences. People Are Funny's actual rating was closer to twelve. But these incidentals didn't matter to the industry's character actors. Network production habits were changing. More and more documentaries and news were airing from New York, more and more drama was airing from Los Angeles. That summer, NBC shifted the production of Barrie Craig to hollywood.

In fact, the recent documentary film of his life is called exactly that.   This year is the 50th year that he'll be working at the Tour De France - what a fantastic achievement that is. Add to that his 16 Olympic Games, and you get an understanding of why he is held in such high regard. In 2009, he was inducted into the British Cycling Hall of Fame.   Phil is currently residing with his wife Trish on a game reserve in South Africa where he helps with efforts to protect rhinos from poachers.   Timestamps 0:00 - audio snippet from Phil Liggett - The Voice of Cycling Documentary 0:53 - Introduction to show. 2:55 - Interview starts. 4:55 - When you live in a remote bush location, beware the clever baboons! 8:15 - When you work in the sport of pro cycling ... you must be prepared to work with the animals. 9:05 - The Collins Cup can be a good reason for an old-athlete's reunion. 11:03 - The dangers of staying in too many hotels can be you never remember where the loo is ... 12:49 - The world of commentating live sports has changed dramatically these past two years and Phil explains how and why it might never go back to the way it once was. 17:14 - The Voice of Cycling documentary is a journey of Phil Liggett's personal life, as well his involvement and impact within cycling.

The U.S. spent the first ten months of 1949 in a recession. Competition for the advertising dollars was stiffer. There were now over two-thousand-six-hundred AM and FM stations. Television was becoming a serious threat. Over a hundred TV stations were on the air. Only two Network Radio shows had a rating higher than 20. Just two years earlier, there were fifteen. Radio's average Top 50 ratings dropped 30% to its lowest level since 1937. Suddenly the reality of radio drama's demise was staring men and women in the face, like the just-heard John Gibson who played Ethelbert on Casey, Crime Photographer. Meanwhile, NBC, ABC, CBS, and the Dumont Network reported a combined TV income of $29.4 Million. But advertisers were learning that TV production costs were much greater than radio's. The extra money had to come from somewhere and radio budgets were the likely source. Seven of radio's top nine shows now aired on CBS, but that's not to say there weren't NBC radio successes. Jack Webb's Dragnet premiered coast-to-coast on Friday June 3rd, 1949 at 10PM eastern time over NBC. It featured some of Hollywood radio's most talented character actors, like the just-heard Virginia Gregg. It wasn't long before Liggett and Myers tobacco signed on as sponsor. CBS took notice. A month after Dragnet's premiere, they shifted Broadway is My Beat to Hollywood and put it under Elliott Lewis' direction. For more information on the launch of Dragnet, tune into Breaking Walls episode 111. For more information on Elliott Lewis, tune into Breaking Walls episode 113.

Brad Liggett, CTI Intel Engineer Manager at Cybersixgill, puts on his improv hat and joins the pod ready for anything. After COVID pressed pause on daily life, Brad kept himself sane and gained some new skills by returning to his improv roots (a hobby he had in the ‘90s) and taking up Dungeons & Dragons. In this episode, Brad covers the importance of improv skills in the professional world, the opportunities to add elements of gaming into cyber, and advice for practitioners looking to be more agile.   Timecoded Guide: [00:00] Introducing the unique combination of improv & cybersecurity [05:57] Being a life-long learner in cybersecurity & in improv groups [13:20] Practicing improvisational skills for cybersecurity customer conversations   [18:17] Bringing in games & elements of play into cybersecurity environments [24:38] Advice for a more agile, improvisational tomorrow   Sponsor Links: Thank you to our sponsors Axonius and NetSPI for bringing this episode to life! Life is complex. But it's not about avoiding challenges or fearing failure. Just ask Simone Biles — the greatest gymnast of all time. Want to learn more about how Simone controls complexity? Watch her video at axonius.com/simone For more than 2 decades, NetSPI has helped companies discover and remediate critical security issues through its platform-driven, human delivered security test. NetSPI is much more than a pentesting company, bringing you the most comprehensive suite of offensive security solutions. Visit netspi.com/HVM to learn more.   Is there a skill that you called upon during an interaction with a customer where you really leaned on your improv muscle?  Improv often involves one phrase that Brad believes other industries should incorporate, too: “Yes, and.” In cybersecurity, Brad leans heavily on the “Yes, and,” phrase because it encourages conversations to move forward authentically. Meetings aren't successful when customers and clients feel uncomfortable and unengaged. Being able to think on his feet and prepare for changes makes Brad a stronger, more agile practitioner and communicator. “The whole concept of moving the meeting forward and making sure that there's no uncomfortable silences. Be prepared, have an idea of what you want to talk about, but inevitably, the client you're talking to, everyone's going to be unique.”   What do you think is the glue that holds your interests in cyber and improv together? Being a life-long learner is something extremely important and valuable for Brad. For improv, research on the latest media, memes, and movies influences his work and motivates him to stay up-to-date and involved in some fun research. Cybersecurity is the same way. Brad believes to be the best practitioner and leader for his team, he needs to be knowledgeable about vendors, threats, products, and all things new in the industry. “You always have to be reading, you always have to be aware of what's going on in the environment out there in the world, so that as those things come up, at least you can somewhat talk to them and start to put those pieces together.”   What has been your experience with bringing an element of play into cyber? Cybersecurity can't be all work and no play. Instead, Brad believes that cybersecurity teams should continue to prioritize the gamification of training processes, as well as just letting their teams have a little fun. Sometimes, to build a strong, trusting team, there needs to be an outside outlet for problem solving, puzzling, and creativity. Brad even brought his team at Cybersixgill to a Meow Wolf exhibition this year for that same team building reason.  “We work hard, but we also should make sure that we play, and not only just do that individually, but even as teams, especially now. It's not always going to be about the training aspect, you also have to take that time to bring that team together.”   What is a piece of wisdom that people could take with them into work tomorrow to make them more agile and improvisational? When it comes to agility and improvisational skills, you have to have a strong foundation to build off of. For Brad, taking time for himself and understanding when and how he learns best has been vital to his success. Listening to podcasts at the gym, reading something new at hotels, and getting a good night's sleep are all little things that help Brad consistently become more agile and improvisational at work.  “For me, it's always having some sacred time at the end of the day. There's no TV in my bedroom, and my phone is telling me around 8:30, ‘Hey, it's wind down time,' and that's when I'm getting in the mode for sleep, and then making sure I've got a good night's sleep.” --------------- Links: Keep up with our guest Brad Liggett on LinkedIn and Twitter Learn more about Cybersixgill on LinkedIn and the Cybersixgill website Connect with Ron Eddings on LinkedIn and Twitter Connect with Chris Cochran on LinkedIn and Twitter Purchase a HVS t-shirt at our shop Continue the conversation by joining our Discord Check out Hacker Valley Media and Hacker Valley Studio
