Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From November 2025. Today's 2 topics: - Throughout history small close approaching space rocks have been a part of our environment. Now, thanks to improved telescopes and cameras, asteroid hunters are routinely discovering these small asteroids as they pass closer than the Moon is to us. Since these tiny asteroids are only bright enough to detect for a few days out of their long, many month duration paths about the Sun, astronomers have had difficulty in determining how many of these small space rocks may exist in near Earth space. This effort received more emphasis when a house sized space rock exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013 releasing about 10 times the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.   - Jupiter has been observed throughout human history and is so bright that you can even spot it under the artificial light dome of one of our cities. Even so it is less than 40 years ago that we were first able to view Jupiter in detail as the Voyagers streaked by it. Jupiter contains more than twice the mass of all of the other planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets in our solar system combined. Eons ago, our solar systems very own giant planet, Jupiter, appears to have cleared out the inner solar system leaving enough rocky debris to form Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.    We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Ganz klar, wenn man zum ersten Mal in die USA reist, wird man höchstwahrscheinlich nicht gerade Arkansas und Alabama besuchen. Wegen der wechselvollen oft dunklen Geschichte der Südstaaten gibt es in den Südosten des Landes viel zu entdecken – Orte, die an die Bürgerrechtsbewegung erinnern ebenso wie lebendige Musikgeschichte, Artenvielfalt in State Parks und schnuckelige kleine Downtowns.„La petite roche“- kleiner Felsen- so nannte der französische Entdecker de la Harpe eine Gesteinsformation, als er Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts den heutigen Arkansas River landeinwärts entlangschipperte. Die Hauptstadt des heutigen Bundesstaats Arkansas heißt „Little Rock“. Eine Stadt mit rund 200 000 Einwohnern, die sich über viele Quadratkilometer verteilt, aus einem Patchwork unterschiedlicher Neighbourhoods besteht und mit viel Interessantem aufwartet. Nahe des State Capitols von Arkansas erinnert eine eindrucksvolle Skulptur an die „Little Rock Nine“.Das waren die ersten afroamerikanischen Schülerinnen und Schüler, die nach der offiziellen Aufhebung der Rassentrennung in Arkansas eine High School besuchten. 1957 war das - der Gouverneur von Arkansas versuchte, ihnen den Besuch der High School zu verwehren, ein weißer Mob demonstrierte vor der Schule. Und Präsident Eisenhower setzte schließlich Bundestruppen ein, um die Schüler zum Unterricht zu eskortieren. Heute wird die High School samt Gelände vom National Park Service betreut, es gibt Führungen und unterschiedlichste Veranstaltungen.Überhaupt, Little Rock bietet eine ziemlich vielfältige Museumslandschaft. Von den dichten Wäldern und mittelgebirgsähnlichen Regionen in Arkansas zum Süden von Alabama. Das Tensaw River Delta bei Mobile wird auch der „Amazonas Nordamerikas“ genannt. Hier, wo sich Salz- und Süßwasser mischen, ist eine enorme Artenvielfalt zu finden - allein rund 300 Vogelarten sind hier gesichtet worden, dazu zahlreiche Amphibien, Alligatoren und kleine Säugetiere.Mobile selbst gehört zu den ältesten Städten der USA und ist besonders stolz auf seinen „Mardi Gras“, den ältesten Nordamerikas. Doch Mobile steht auch für ein dunkles Kapitel der amerikanischen Geschichte - im Viertel Africatown erzählt ein kleines Museum seit einigen Jahren die Geschichte der „Clotilda“. Das Schiff schmuggelte 1860 – Jahrzehnte nach dem Verbot des transatlantischen Sklavenhandels - 110 aus Westafrika verschleppte Menschen nach Alabama. Ihre Nachfahren leben heute teilweise noch in Africatown. Und wollen mit dem Museum aber auch mit regelmäßigen Veranstaltungen dafür sorgen, dass ihre Geschichte nicht in Vergessenheit gerät.Crosspromotion: ARD-Podcast: "Amerika, wir müssen reden" https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/amerika-wir-muessen-reden,podcast5882.htmlModeration: Philipp AbreschAutor:in: Sabine LoeprickRedaktion: Philipp Abresch, Angelika PenzMitarbeit: Patricia Batlle Produktion: Wolfgang Seesko, Konrad Winkler

Host Trey Reid talks with Deke Whitbeck, president of the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation, about how the 501(c)(3) nonprofit supports the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission through fundraising and public engagement. They preview the 35th Arkansas Outdoor Hall of Fame banquet on August 29 at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock, which draws roughly 1,500–2,000 attendees and includes an online silent auction. They also discuss support for the Generation Conservation Summit, a new Legacy Lunker Banquet on October 29 in North Little Rock, and planned giving highlighted by Arthur Henderson's 150-acre green-space gift in Northwest Arkansas.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From November 2025. Today's 2 topics: - The moon cycle from new moon through full moon and back to new moon again was used by many nations to regulate their activities and forms the basis of the Islamic lunar calendar. A calendar based on the first visibility of the lunar crescent is difficult to predict in advance since this observation depends on the clarity of the atmosphere and other local conditions. The interesting observational problem of when it is possible to spot the new moon has been analyzed in the scientific literature as an aid to historians who are seeking to interpret the writings of ancient civilizations.   - Humans have a long history of partnerships with a variety of micro organisms. Although the proportions vary widely with individuals, recent scientific estimates suggest that a typical human being has approximately the same number of bacteria and other microbes as they do actual human cells. Now it appears that a partnership with yeast and algae will enable spacefaring humans to use their waste products to produce food and plastics during long duration space flights.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

A Louisiana woman vanished from her home in pink pajamas, a K9 search went cold, and a medium she'd never met told her daughters exactly where to find the body in the woods — and now, after a private forensic review, the sheriff's office has reopened the case it once closed as an accidental drowning.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/TheresaDawnJonesLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: July 24, 2026This episode of Weird Darkness follows the disappearance and death of Theresa Dawn Jones near Bernice, Louisiana, a case that ran from a missing persons report to an accidental-drowning ruling to a homicide reinvestigation — and the phone call from a psychic medium a thousand miles away that pointed her family straight to the body.On the night of February 2nd, 2023, fifty-six-year-old Theresa Jones walked out of her home in the Evergreen community on Lake D'Arbonne wearing pink pajamas, leaving behind her phone, her wallet, her car keys, and the eyeglasses she needed to see, and by the time her boyfriend returned from a work trip in Lake Charles he found the house torn apart and Theresa gone. The Union Parish Sheriff's Office searched with a Lincoln Parish K9 unit that tracked her scent out to Highway 2 before losing it, chased sightings of a woman carrying gas cans and a stop at a Circle K in West Monroe, then stalled. Her daughters Ashley Deese and Brittany turned to Carolyn Clapper, a Wisconsin medium who took their call at 10:48 at night and, over forty-five minutes, described a fallen log at a tree line, a creek, and a sickness that would come over whoever went looking — directions that led Ashley to her mother's body in Edmonds Creek the next morning, found nude from the waist down with the water still shallow around her. Dr. Frank Peretti's autopsy in Little Rock ruled the death an accidental drowning with methamphetamine intoxication as a contributing factor, and the sheriff's office closed the case in August 2023, but Ashley never accepted it, and a retired Texas aquatic-death investigator named Greg Lawson publicly questioned why no rape kit or fingernail scraping was ever done. More than a year later, private forensic consultant John Oliveira of Applied Forensic Solutions reviewed the file and found only 150 milliliters of water in the lungs, livor mortis fixed in the legs rather than the face-down position she was found in, a clean upper jacket above the waterline, and bruising the autopsy never recorded — evidence pointing away from drowning and toward a body staged in the water after death. At the end of October 2025, Oliveira presented those findings to Union Parish detectives, and the sheriff's office reopened Theresa Jones's death as a possible homicide, more than two years after the paperwork first called it an accident.

In 1957, nine black teenagers attempted to attend a public high school in Little Rock, Arkansas.  Their arrival triggered protests, legal battles, intervention by the governor, and eventually the deployment of federal troops.  What happened over the following months became a defining test of whether the United States would enforce its own Constitution, even in the face of organized resistance.

Author and poet Scott Laudati joins me to discuss his latest poetry collection, Rainbow Road. The book offers a raw, observant, and humorous look at the chaotic realities of touring the independent poetry circuit across the United States. Scott shared some of the wild experiences that inspired the work, from having a gun pulled on him by a fellow writer in Little Rock to sleeping on a sidewalk in Sioux Falls. Ultimately, the collection captures a sharp shift from the romanticized ideals of the Beat generation to a more grounded perspective on the toll of a transient, artistic lifestyle. The conversation also tracked Scott's unconventional path, which began with high school road tours as a merchandise manager during the early 2000s pop-punk boom. After studying journalism, he dedicated himself to independent literature, developing a disciplined late-night writing process that relies on a sharp ear for authentic dialogue and meticulous editing. He also noted a unique aesthetic choice in Rainbow Road: the complete omission of page numbers to keep readers entirely focused on the text. Scott is currently preparing for a series of independent readings across the Midwest this summer. Rainbow Road is available on Amazon, and readers can connect with him on social media at @ScottLaudati. ---Episode Links:Purchase Rainbow RoadFollow Scott on SubstackIG: @scottlaudatiLinktree

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From May 2026. Today's 2 topics: - Asteroids could provide a solution for the serious problem of how to protect astronauts from harmful solar and cosmic radiation during long duration space flights and thus eliminate the need for the spacecraft itself to have heavy shielding material. The idea is for the spacecraft to spend most of the journey inside the asteroid.   - Some of the 635,000 impact craters found on Mars are the result of such violent impacts that pieces of Mars are ejected, travel around the solar system, and a few become one of the several hundred Martian meteorites which have been discovered here on Earth. An experiment is described which does not prove we are descendants of martian bacteria however it does improve our ability to protect our planet and understand where life may be possible elsewhere in the Universe.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

One of my favorite episodes we have ever recorded with Head Coach of the Arkansas Little Rock Trojans, Chris Curry. Coach Curry gives us some great stories from his playing career as well as tapping in to the monster he is building in Little Rock

Brown v. Board: The Cornerstone of Change When we began this series, we started with the election of 1964. From there, we journeyed through 1968... 1972... 1976... and finally 1980. Each episode explored another chapter in America's political realignment. At first, those elections appeared to be separate stories. Different candidates. Different issues. Different moments in history. But as we followed the threads connecting one election to another, a question kept returning. Where did all of this really begin? If there is one event that changed the political landscape of modern America... one decision that quietly altered the course of history... I believe we find it not in an election. Not in Congress. Not in the White House. But inside the United States Supreme Court. On May 17, 1954. To understand Brown v. Board of Education, we must first understand another Supreme Court decision made nearly sixty years earlier. In 1896, the Court decided Plessy v. Ferguson. That decision established the legal doctrine known as "separate but equal." Under Plessy, states could legally separate Black and White citizens in public facilities, provided those facilities were supposedly equal. On paper, the doctrine sounded reasonable. In practice, equality rarely existed. Separate schools. Separate waiting rooms. Separate entrances. Separate drinking fountains. Separate lives. For nearly six decades, Plessy provided the constitutional foundation upon which segregation rested throughout much of the South. Then came Brown. The case itself began with families who believed their children deserved the equal protection promised by the Constitution. One of those families was that of Oliver Brown, whose daughter, Linda, was required to travel farther to attend a segregated Black school even though a White elementary school stood much closer to their home. Brown became more than one lawsuit. It became a constitutional question. Could public education ever truly be equal if students were separated solely because of race? Chief Justice Earl Warren understood the importance of the moment. He believed that a divided Court might deepen an already difficult national issue. Working quietly with his fellow justices, Warren achieved something remarkable. On May 17, 1954, the Court issued a unanimous decision. Its conclusion has echoed through American history ever since. "Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." With those words, the constitutional foundation established by Plessy began to crumble. Brown did not instantly integrate America's schools. Nor did it immediately end segregation. Instead, it began a long and often difficult process that unfolded over many years. Across much of the South, many political leaders sought ways to preserve the existing social order while responding to the Court's decision. The methods varied from state to state. The debates were often intense. The legal battles continued. But the constitutional conversation had fundamentally changed. Brown had established a new principle. As resistance continued, the federal government found itself increasingly drawn into issues that many states had previously considered their own responsibility. Little Rock. The Freedom Riders. Birmingham. The March on Washington. Selma. Each became another chapter in a growing national conversation about civil rights and equal protection under the law. Eventually, Congress responded. The Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Voting Rights Act of 1965. These landmark laws did not emerge in isolation. They grew from constitutional questions that Brown had brought to the forefront a decade earlier. The political consequences would prove just as significant. The Democratic coalition that had dominated national politics since Franklin Roosevelt began to change. Regional loyalties shifted. New political alliances emerged. Election by election... 1964... 1968... 1972... 1976... 1980... America's political map slowly transformed. When we began this series, those elections appeared to be separate stories. Looking back now, we can see they were connected. Each represented another step in a much longer journey. History often remembers presidents. It remembers campaigns. It remembers elections. But sometimes the most important political event in a generation is not an election at all. It is a court decision. Brown v. Board of Education did more than change public education. It changed the constitutional framework within which future debates would occur. Its effects reached into schools, communities, legislatures, courtrooms, political parties, and presidential elections. History rarely changes all at once. More often, it changes because one event quietly alters the foundation upon which future events are built. I believe Brown v. Board of Education was one of those moments. It was the cornerstone of change. And once that cornerstone was laid, the political realignment we have explored throughout this series became possible. As we've discovered together, history is not a collection of disconnected events. It is a conversation across generations. One decision leads to another. One response creates another response. One generation leaves questions for the next. And perhaps that is the greatest lesson history has to teach us. Understanding how we arrived here is the first step toward understanding where we go next.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From May 2026. Today's 2 topics: - In 2007 a small icy object moving in the constellation of Ursa Minor crossed the orbit of Pluto at a speed of approximately 4.2 mi/s starting its journey towards the inner solar system. It was between the orbits of Saturn and Jupiter traveling at some 9 mi/s towards the Sun, when my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Dr. Kacper Wierzchoś discovered it on March 3, 2024, while asteroid hunting, in the constellation of Draco, with our 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, Arizona. Kacper studies comets passionately was thus excited to observe that it has a coma and a tail. On its way out of the solar system, in 2045, Kacper's COMET C/2024 E1 (Wierzchos) will cross the orbit of Pluto heading in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major and is destined to wander between stars in the Milky Way till the end of time.   - Looking into a star filled sky at a place like the Cosmic Campground International Dark Sky Sanctuary in New Mexico inspires a person to wonder if our home planet is unique in the Universe. To begin to answer this question, NASA launched the small satellite Pandora on January 11, 2026 . It is on at least a one year long mission to study the chemical composition of more than 20 planets orbiting nearby stars in the Milky Way. The Pandora satellite's results will hopefully include a list of potentially habitable planets to be observed the James Webb Space Telescope and other observatories in the search for life elsewhere in the Universe.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From April 2026. Today's 2 topics: - According to NASA an average of one catalogued piece of space junk per day has come down to Earth over the past 50 years. Research is described which can track space junk in the atmosphere and provide the starting location and altitude for tracking clouds of environmentally problematic toxic chemical and/or nuclear contaminants released by the disintegration of reentering spacecraft.   - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Greg Leonard was asteroid hunting with our 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, Arizona when he came across an unknown moving point of light in the night sky. After Greg reported his observations to the Minor Planet Center his discovery was tracked by telescopes in California, Romania, Germany, New Mexico, Arizona, Bavaria, and Japan. Astronomers used these data to calculate that Greg's discovery orbits the sun between Venus and Earth, estimate its size to be approximately twice the length of a football field, and give it the name 2026 BX4.    We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From April 2026. Today's 2 topics: - Artificial light at night also known as light pollution is degrading human safety and health as well as damaging the natural environment on which we all depend. The loss of the connection with the natural night sky has happened over the past 100 years. Restoring the natural night sky is relatively simple and can even save money. Before restoration can effectively begin it is essential to make night sky brightness measurements in both natural night sky and urban locations.   - On a recent night my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Vivian Carvajal found 4 Earth approaching space rocks with our small but mighty Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona. These Earth approaching asteroids are all small with an average diameter about the width of tennis court. On their current paths none of them come closer than about 4 lunar distances from our home planet.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Today's 2 topics: - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Tracie Beuden was observing with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona in the constellation of Perseus when she found 2026-AA, the first asteroid of 2026. Asteroid hunters are trying to track Tracie's discovery with our number on it far enough in advance so humans could give it a tiny nudge and make it miss Earth.   - Humans can mitigate the damage done by the impact of an asteroid given a sufficient lead time. In 1998, the US Congress mandated NASA to detect and track 90% of the 1 km sized asteroids capable of effecting local mass destruction as well as global disruption of agriculture and other human activities. This goal has been accomplished. In 2005 Congress extended the mandate to require NASA to detect and track 90% of the 140-m asteroids capable of destroying a large metropolitan area.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Build-to-Suit Industrial Real Estate: Mastering Tenant Capital Strategy with Joe Neckles Recorded live from IAMC in Little Rock, Industrial Advisors host Joe Neckles of Fortress Investment Group to discuss Fortress's single-tenant triple-net lease strategy and his focus on fully capitalizing build-to-suit projects with developers and users. Neckles explains Fortress invests via existing net-lease acquisitions, sale-leasebacks, and build-to-suits, emphasizing direct engagement with developers, tenant reps, and end users. The conversation highlights why tenants choose build-to-suit over spec space or ownership: specialized needs (manufacturing, cold storage, data centers), limited market availability, and the ability to invest capital into their core business rather than real estate. Typical build-to-suit leases target 15+ years, ideally 20+ with extension options, and can reduce tenant risk through guaranteed maximum price contracts and delivery timelines; Fortress supports power needs by funding solutions once sites are vetted. They note improving build-to-suit activity after uncertainty in 2024–2025 and tighter construction lending in 2023, with some tenants taking advantage of a softer industrial market to lock long-term rates. 0:00 Intro and Joe Neckles Background 2:10 Building Strategic Industry Partnerships 3:45 Why Choose Build to Suit Over Spec 5:15 Power Capacity and Infrastructure Challenges 6:35 Lease vs Ownership Strategy 7:55 Mitigating Risk and Project Timelines 9:15 Industrial Market Trends and Outlook

A lot of real estate investors think the biggest hurdle to buying more rentals is saving enough money for down payments. Nick Disney has taken a different approach.Instead of waiting years to build up cash, Nick uses HELOCs and private lenders as short-term financing tools to acquire and renovate properties. Once the property is stabilized, he refinances into long-term financing, pays back the HELOC or private lender, and frees up that capital to do it all over again.On this episode, Nick breaks down his strategy for scaling a rental portfolio without constantly saving for the next down payment. He explains how he finds private lenders, the types of people most likely to become funding partners, and how paying off a few rental properties created new opportunities through HELOCs.Nick also walks us through a recent deal, sharing the actual numbers and showing exactly how he used private money to make the purchase work.Plus, we discuss the biggest expense in his rental business and the strategies he uses to keep tenants longer and reduce turnover.If you've ever wondered how investors continue buying properties without piles of cash sitting in the bank, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can put to work right away.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode578Thanks To Our Sponsors:MidSouth HomeBuyers – Turnkey Rentals In Memphis, Little Rock, and Dallas.

Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From March 2026. Today's 2 topics: - In 1892 the world's largest telescope, the Lick Observatory's 36 inch refracting telescope made the news when E.E. Barnard discovered, Amalthea, the 5th moon of Jupiter. In 2025 this historic telescope made the news again when on Christmas morning winds of 114 mph blew off a 3 ton piece of the shutter on its dome. The adaptive optics research pioneered at Lick Observatory helped in the creation of the twin giant 10 meter telescopes that sit atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii.   - Astronomers using the 8.1 m Gemini South Telescope in Chile were excited by the fact that 467P (LINEAR-Grauer)'s Centaur like orbit had been changed as the nucleus emitted rocket like bursts of gases as it was warmed by the Sun. Inert inactive asteroids orbit the Sun following the law of gravity whereas active asteroids can emit little rocket like bursts of gas which can change their path about the Sun in interesting ways. It is important to study objects like 467P (LINEAR-Grauer) to make sure their path about the Sun doesn't change to make them a threat to our home planet.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Many real estate investors avoid C- and D-class neighborhoods due to crime, older housing stock, and management challenges. Mike Bonadies sees opportunity where others see problems.On this episode, Mike explains why he focuses on lower-income neighborhoods and how those properties have allowed him to build and scale a large portfolio. We look at the types of properties he's buying, what he's paying, how much rehab they're typically needing, and the numbers that make these deals work.With a lower barrier to entry and strong cash-flow potential, Mike believes these markets can offer opportunities difficult to find elsewhere.We also get into the realities of owning low-income housing. Mike talks about working with Section 8 and other government assistance programs, dealing with inspections, navigating government red tape, and why these properties are anything but passive investments.He shares some of the biggest challenges he's facing today, including applicants using AI-generated pay stubs and bank statements, as well as the steps he's taking to verify income and avoid costly mistakes. Finally, Mike reveals the key numbers he tracks and the one thing investors can do to increase their chances of success in low-income housing.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode576Thanks To Our Sponsors:Rentec Direct - Automate the day-to-day work and make property management easy.

A part of a series of exclusive interviews with men's basketball's newest arrivals, Matt Zimmerman sits down with Arkansas native and McDonald's All-American JJ Andrews to talk about what it truly means to wear the Razorback jersey. Andrews opens up about growing up in Little Rock, the influence of his father, former Razorback great Sean Andrews, and the moment he realized basketball could take him to the highest level. He reflects on winning state championships, back-to-back Peach Jam titles, and the lessons his family instilled that have kept him grounded through national attention and rising expectations. Andrews also discusses the bond already forming with Arkansas' loaded freshman class, his defensive mentality, his excitement to play for Coach Calipari, and why winning matters more to him than stats or accolades. The conversation gives Razorback fans an early look at the maturity, toughness, and homegrown pride that make JJ Andrews one of the most anticipated players to come through Arkansas in years. --- The full video version of this episode is available exclusively on HogsPlus.com Follow us on social media!

In this conversation, Father Stephen opens up about losing his father and twelve-year-old sister in a car accident when he was just eight years old, how that tragedy shaped his understanding of duty and sacrifice, and what it felt like to receive his calling in the middle of a deployment in central Iraq. He is a hunter, archer, CrossFit athlete, knife maker, and musician who speaks about masculinity, suffering, and faith in a way that cuts through all the noise. We also get into forgiveness in a way I have never heard anyone break it down before. Father Stephen uses the image of a plant to walk through the entire process of healing a broken relationship, from cultivating the soil, to planting the seed, to watching for weeds, to understanding why we pull back just when things start to feel close. It is pastoral counsel and practical wisdom at the same time. This one hit me differently, guys. I am not kidding when I say I felt the weight of this conversation in my chest. If you have ever carried loss, wrestled with abandonment, or wondered how a man of deep faith actually lives out forgiveness in real time, this episode is for you.   Timeline Summary [1:02] Father Stephen and the host kick off by acknowledging this is take two, after a tech failure ended the first recording [1:55] Father Stephen explains his two appearances on American Ninja Warrior in 2018 and 2020 and what he was really trying to do with the cameras [4:20] The meaning behind the priest collar explained: white for speaking truth, black for death to self [6:07] Why traditions are not a threat to faith and how they are already woven into every man's life whether he realizes it or not [7:16] How the American Ninja Warrior exposure broke down barriers and gave people an entry point to seek pastoral help with marriages and personal struggles [13:25] Host introduces Father Stephen's background: raised on an Arkansas farm, lost his father and older sister at age eight in a car accident, later served in the Air Force and deployed to Iraq [17:22] Father Stephen describes the accident on May 5th, 1994, the deaths of his father and twelve-year-old sister, and how a young boy without comprehension of the full weight woke up every day and simply got it done [23:11] Two weeks after the accident, his mother discovered she was pregnant with twins, and the family's response to impossible circumstances [28:18] The Christmas delivery story: neighbors who brought gifts for the family after the accident and did it with enough grace and class that no one's dignity was taken [33:14] Father Stephen recalls warming up the minivan for his mother on cold Arkansas mornings as a child, and why the small act reveals a lifelong orientation toward serving others before himself [37:10] The story of how the calling to priesthood emerged during military service in Iraq, including a stranger at Mass who said, "You're thinking about being a priest, aren't you?"

It built in him a sense of duty and commitment so deep that he woke up every morning as a boy simply asking what needed to be done, and that orientation toward others before self became the foundation of everything he does as a priest. Sharing your humanity, not just your credentials, is what gives people permission to bring you their real problems. Father Stephen's Ninja Warrior appearances did not grow his ministry by making him impressive. They grew it by making him approachable. Forgiveness is not a moment. It is a plant. You cultivate the soil, you plant the seed at the right time in the right way, and then you let it sit. Going back every day to dig it up and see if it grew will kill it. The healing comes from doing the work and then having the patience to let it take root. Keeping a small part of unforgiveness is not a failure. It is memory. It is what tells you how to water the plant going forward, what burned it before, and what it needs to stay alive now. Forgetting is not the goal. Learning is. The soul remembers what hurt it, and sometimes that shows up as pulling back right when something good is getting close. That is not sabotage. That is an old defense mechanism doing its job. The work is to recognize it, name it, and gently push its limits rather than either surrendering to it or shaming yourself for it.   Links & Resources Follow Father Stephen on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/fatherstephenjgadberry Saint Theresa Catholic Church — https://www.sttheresalittlerock.org This Episode's Show Page — https://thedadedge.com/1484 Join the Dad Edge — https://thedadedge.com/join The Men's Forge — https://themensforge.com   Closing Father Stephen gave us something rare in this conversation: the kind of honesty that only comes from a man who has sat with real pain long enough to have something true to say about it.
