Podcasts about Lost time

Sarah and Vinnie reminisce about their feelings around turning 25 years old.

“Send Coach John a message”From Positivity Inspired (@inspiringmyday) comes this quote from Benjamin Franklin - “Lost time is never found again.” To me, this is something that goes with a major game plan of mine, becoming more focused! I waste so much time - especially with all the distractions that are out there. I need to connect with those moments when they present themselves to also connect with the best choice on how to use my time in those moments. One thing for sure, today's “crud” going on around us - in the USA and around the world, can't be taking so much of my time up any longer. Way too much more important items to connect with.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Transcript:Da: Vinteren havde kastet sit iskolde slør over den danske landskab, og sneen lå tungt langs vejene.En: Winter had cast its icy veil over the Danish landscape, and the snow lay heavy along the roads.Da: Kasper og Sofie var på en road trip gennem det smukke, men barske danske landskab.En: Kasper and Sofie were on a road trip through the beautiful but harsh Danish countryside.Da: De var på vej til deres familiejulefest på landet, men pludselig var noget vigtigt forsvundet.En: They were on their way to their family Christmas party in the countryside, but suddenly something important was missing.Da: Kasper satte sig op i bilen, som stod stille ved siden af den sneklædte vej.En: Kasper sat up in the car, which stood still by the snow-covered road.Da: Han så ind i sneen, som bevægede sig sidelæns i vindens skarpe kaskader.En: He looked into the snow, which moved sideways in the sharp gusts of the wind.Da: "Mit ur," sagde han lavmælt, og hans stemme rystede, ikke af kulde, men af bekymring.En: "My watch," he said softly, and his voice trembled, not from the cold, but from concern.Da: "Det er væk."En: "It's gone."Da: Sofie så hen på ham, hendes øjne fulde af forståelse, men også med et glimt af deres sædvanlige optimisme.En: Sofie looked at him, her eyes full of understanding, but also with a glint of their usual optimism.Da: "Vi finder det," sagde hun beroligende.En: "We'll find it," she said reassuringly.Da: "Lad os tænke praktisk.En: "Let's think practically.Da: Vi bør spørge folk i landsbyerne."En: We should ask people in the villages."Da: Kasper rystede på hovedet, hans blik fast besluttet.En: Kasper shook his head, his gaze determined.Da: "Vi retracerer vores skridt.En: "We retrace our steps.Da: Vi mister tid, hvis vi gør noget andet."En: We'll lose time if we do anything else."Da: De to sad i stilhed, hver indhyllet i tankerne om, hvordan de bedst skulle finde det savnede ur.En: The two sat in silence, each enveloped in thoughts of how best to find the missing watch.Da: Kasper, dybt sentimental, kunne ikke forestille sig jul uden sin bedstefars gamle armbåndsur.En: Kasper, deeply sentimental, couldn't imagine Christmas without his grandfather's old wristwatch.Da: Det var en tradition, en kæde der bandt ham til fortiden.En: It was a tradition, a chain that tied him to the past.Da: Sofie, dog, mente, at de kunne drage nytte af de lokale indbyggeres viden og hjælpsomhed.En: Sofie, however, believed they could benefit from the local residents' knowledge and helpfulness.Da: "Jeg ved, det betyder meget for dig," sagde hun forsigtigt.En: "I know it means a lot to you," she said cautiously.Da: "Men vi må samarbejde om det her."En: "But we have to work together on this."Da: Så fortsatte de deres rejse, og den lille bil drev gennem nabolandsbyerne, hvert sted deres hjul rullede forbi, pakkede tankerne ind i nye planer.En: So they continued their journey, and the little car drifted through the neighboring villages, each place their wheels rolled past wrapped their thoughts in new plans.Da: Som mørket faldt, og sneen tiltog i styrke, følte de sig lidt modløse.En: As darkness fell, and the snow increased in strength, they felt a bit discouraged.Da: Pludselig så Sofie noget gennem frontruden.En: Suddenly Sofie saw something through the windshield.Da: En lille, hyggelig kro lå forude, oplyst af gyldne lys, der flimrede velkomment.En: A small, cozy inn lay ahead, illuminated by golden lights that flickered welcomingly.Da: De genkendte det straks som kroen, hvor de havde tilbragt natten under sneens første ankomst.En: They recognized it immediately as the inn where they had spent the night during the first snowfall.Da: Med et glimt af ny håb gik de ind.En: With a glimmer of new hope, they went inside.Da: Indenfor var der varmt, en duft af brændende træ fyldte luften, og en venlig kroejer hilste dem med en varm velkomst.En: Inside it was warm, the scent of burning wood filled the air, and a friendly innkeeper greeted them with a warm welcome.Da: Sofie, aldrig bange for en fremmed, gik imod ham og spurgte direkte om uret.En: Sofie, never afraid of a stranger, approached him and asked directly about the watch.Da: Kroejerens smil udvidede sig, og han rakte bag disken og trak en velkendt lille æske frem.En: The innkeeper's smile widened, and he reached behind the counter and pulled out a familiar small box.Da: "Er dette, hvad I leder efter?"En: "Is this what you're looking for?"Da: spurgte han med et glimt i øjet.En: he asked with a glint in his eye.Da: Kasper var målløs, men glæden fyldte hurtigt hans ansigt.En: Kasper was speechless, but joy quickly filled his face.Da: Det var hans bedstefars ur, præcis som han huskede det.En: It was his grandfather's watch, just as he remembered it.Da: "Hvordan fandt du det?"En: "How did you find it?"Da: spurgte han, stadig forvirret.En: he asked, still confused.Da: "En af stuepigerne fandt det nær jeres værelse og tænkte, det var glemt," svarede kroejeren.En: "One of the maids found it near your room and thought it was forgotten," the innkeeper replied.Da: "Vi gemte det, i håbet om, at nogen ville komme for at hente det."En: "We kept it, hoping someone would come to retrieve it."Da: Kasper indså, hvad Sofie havde sagt hele tiden, at man ikke altid kan gøre alting alene.En: Kasper realized what Sofie had been saying all along, that one can't always do everything alone.Da: Han omfavnede hende med et varmt smil.En: He embraced her with a warm smile.Da: "Din idé om at spørge folk var god.En: "Your idea of asking people was good.Da: Jeg skulle have lyttet tidligere."En: I should have listened earlier."Da: Med uret sikkert tilbage om hans håndled følte han en ro, han ikke havde haft hele dagen.En: With the watch securely back on his wrist, he felt a peace he hadn't had all day.Da: De to rejste videre, sikre på at julemagi også fandtes i folks hjerte.En: The two traveled on, assured that Christmas magic also existed in people's hearts.Da: Julenat, da de nåede frem til familien, føltes alle de mistede timer som et fjernt minde.En: On Christmas Eve, when they arrived at the family home, all the lost hours felt like a distant memory.Da: Kasper havde fundet sit ur, men også noget vigtigere: en dybere forståelse af værdien af samarbejde og tillid.En: Kasper had found his watch, but also something more important: a deeper understanding of the value of cooperation and trust.Da: Det sneede stadig udenfor, men indenfor var der varmt og lyst, præcis som hjerterne i julesæsonen.En: It was still snowing outside, but indoors it was warm and bright, just like the hearts during the Christmas season.

In the latest episode of the Public Power Now podcast, Kyle Treibs, Superintendent of Electric Department for the City of Fredericksburg, Texas, and Kris Kneese, Director of Public Works & Utilities, for the city, detail how Fredericksburg and the city Electric Department have achieved almost 40 years without a lost time work injury.

Sally Mann is a photographer and a New York Times bestselling writer. She is best known for making large-format black and white photographs of the people and places in her immediate surroundings: her children, her husband, and the rural landscape of her home state and the American South. Sally was born in Lexington, Virginia, the youngest of three children to Robert and Elizabeth Munger. Her father was a doctor and gave Sally his old Leica camera to play with. After university, she wanted to be a poet but she spent more than a decade as a commercial photographer while starting a family of her own and exhibiting her work on a small scale. She published her first book of photographs in 1984. That same year, she began taking pictures of her three children for a series called Immediate Family, which brought her both renown as well as infamy for touching on ordinary moments in their daily lives – playing, sleeping, and eating, sometimes while naked – but also speaking to larger themes such as death and cultural perceptions of childhood, rendering familiar subjects “both sublime and disquieting”. In the mid-1990s, she began to move away from the family pictures in favour of photographing the landscape around her. Much of Sally's body of work comes from observing what is closest at hand because, she says, “The things that are close to you are the things that you can photograph the best.” She has explored the identity of the American South, and her relationship with her place of origin, as well as mortality and decay, and the effects of muscular dystrophy on her husband. In her latest book, Art Work, she considers the challenges and pleasures of the creative process. Sally continues to live on the 800-acre family farm near Lexington with her husband Larry and a number of dogs.

Interview by Ali WilliamsPrepare your necks and your livers, because Cryptopsy are barrelling towards Australia with all the subtlety of a freight train loaded with blast beats. In this HEAVY interview, frontman Matt McGachy drops in for a chat with our Ali Williams that's equal parts comedy, chaos, and tour-warrior wisdom, as the band prepares to hit Aussie shores for their first tour down under since 2016.McGachy serves up the kind of charmingly blunt honesty only a death metal veteran can muster. He riffs about the pure madness of juggling jet lag, extreme humidity, and trying to deliver guttural vocals without spontaneously combusting on stage. As the band heads for Australia's to celebrate over three decades of metal with four headline shows McGachy is equal parts fired-up and amused, promising that Cryptopsy's live show will be an all-out assault, but with just enough Canadian politeness to (probably) avoid getting deported. The conversation is peppered with tales of culture shock (shoutout to Saudi Arabia's “no moshing” rule), the band's accidental foray into death metal history, and the awkward logistics of ageing in a genre that's all about speed. McGachy laughs about getting older, likening band life to a bad marriage with four stubborn partners and swearing that Cryptopsy's legacy will never involve “Ric Flair-ing” themselves into oblivion. Instead, he promises the band is tighter than ever, running on pure adrenaline, camaraderie, and maybe a few electrolyte tablets. For those craving the inside scoop: yes, the band is stoked for a long overdue return visit, yes, the set will be relentless, and yes, there may be some backstage chaos involving local support acts and sweaty gear changes.  Expect tales of power outages, sonic carnage, and the kind of crowd energy that only Aussie metalheads can conjure. If you want a taste of what's coming, McGachy hints at the band's sharpened focus, a “no repeats, no half-measures” attitude, and a set list that'll leave both new fans and long-timers in a state of delighted ruin. The whole chat is a perfect storm: fun, irreverent, and bursting with that raw energy only Cryptopsy can deliver. By the end, you're left convinced that this tour will be the kind of glorious mess you'll brag about surviving for years to come. Craving the gory details, band banter, and the full run of McGachy's stories? You'll have to catch the full podcast. This is just the opening riff...

He's simply a man who doesn't stop. Since being exonerated for a crime that saw him spend almost 27 years behind bars, Evaristo Salas Jnr has wasted no time making up for the life that was taken from him.In this catch-up, we dive into everything he's achieved in the two years since his release. He's travelled across the United States giving talks to everyone from school kids to some of the top legal minds in the country. He's started a business, founded a non-profit, and even taken his message as far as Europe.But the last two years, while full of incredible moments, haven't been without challenges. Jnr opens up about the times he's caught the old prison mentality creeping back in — and how he's learning to navigate freedom after nearly three decades inside.One Minute Remaining LIVE in Melbourne get your tix now EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HERE Patreon and find us on Facebook here.

In this mind-bending episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro dive into two stories that push the boundaries of communication, perception, and the very nature of time itself. First, Jethro unpacks the extraordinary modern effort to build the world's first dolphin chatbot—a real AI project inspired by a quirky 1960s SETI club called The Order of the Dolphin. From Carl Sagan and Frank Drake's early theories to Google DeepMind's modern neural networks decoding dolphin whistles, this segment explores how scientists hope communication with dolphins may become the training wheels for future alien contact. With signature humor and scientific wonder, we explore dolphin intelligence, their complex acoustic “language,” and what the first dolphin-to-human conversation might actually sound like. Then Kat takes us into the freezing darkness of the Scarassin Abyss, where French speleologist Michel Siffre spent 63 days isolated from all clocks, sunlight, and human contact to study how humans perceive time. As his internal world unraveled, Siffre made discoveries that reshaped chronobiology—and revealed how fragile our sense of reality truly is. From hallucinations to distorted time cycles to the stunning moment he emerged believing he still had a month left underground, Kat tells the story in vivid detail with plenty of Oddity-level dread and fascination. Plus: bizarre YouTube ads, Thanksgiving confusion, and a rapid-fire tour of wild historical events—from Einstein's famous paper to a meteor that turned night into day. It's science, strangeness, humor, and existential questions—all in one episode.Keep flying that freak flag, you beautiful freak. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on Sober Awkward, Vic and Hamish take on the gut-punch topic of wasted time... all those years lost to hangovers, hangxiety, dodgy decisions, and “just one more” nights that turned into blurry weekends. From poo-in-the-bed confessions (yes, really) to real talk about shame, regret, and reclaiming your hours, they dig into how sobriety gives you back the one thing booze quietly steals - time. Expect plenty of laughs, stats that'll make your jaw drop (spoiler: you've probably lost years to hangovers), and a whole lot of truth about how to use your sober clarity to build the life you were actually meant to live.It's not about mourning the time you lost, it's about making the most of the time you've got left. So, grab a sick bucket and get ready for some cheesy quotes and way too much poopy talk.Oh, and one last thing, if you can fit five Lindt balls in between each of your toes, Hamish wants to hear from you… preferably not with photos.Enjoy!

It's officially Halloween decoration season, and somehow that's keeping Vinnie awake? It's gonna be a good day!

I've been wanting to make this episode for years, but I felt like it would be offensive if I talked about how I struggled with feeling like I wasted years of my life drinking because I quit at 29 and I know most people quit way later. I finally decided to move forward with this because I noticed an interesting trend in the people I work with. In this episode, we'll talk about why the sense of wasted years hits so hard in early sobriety, how our brains are wired to replay “what if” scenarios, and why younger and middle-aged adults struggle more with regret than older adults do. Most importantly, we'll explore how you can shift from shame over the past to meaning and opportunity in the present—so no matter when you quit, you can stop looking backward and start living the years you have now.

Eventually, Sam decided to explode the moment, or the series of moments of his life and with his mother, to get a better handle on who he was and how much that was about who his mom was and how she had raised him, not whether his father was Dylan.  The book is receiving high marks in early reviews, and Sam has been making the rounds in newspapers and magazines, including a profile by the New York Times. Publisher's Weekly, Kirkus, The Library Journal, and the American Library Association have all given Boy From the North Country starred reviews.    And for our book rec section of the show, we're thinking about books that center on male relationships.  We realize that our guests and listeners are primarily female, but we thought we would equal the playing field a little by talking about books that deal with father-son relationships, male friendships or brotherly love.  We have a multigenerational story about the men in a Mexican-American family, a group of friends in a small town of the American Midwest, a pair of quirky Irish friends, a memoir about two very different guys at Harvard, two Greek heroes and their deep relationship, and boys from different cultures who develop a bond in unlikely circumstances.    Books Mentioned in this Episode:   1- Boy From the North Country by Sam Sussman 2- The Celebrants by Steven Rowley 3- The Guncle by Steven Rowley 4- In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust  5- Anima Rising by Christopher Moore  6- The Last Mona Lisa by Jonathan Santlofer  7- The Lost Van Gogh by Jonathan Santlofer 8-  A Five Star Read Recommended by Fellow Book Lover Megan Burnett - The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish  9- We Should Not Be Friends: The Story of a Friendship by Will Schwalbe  10- The Sons of El Rey by Alex Espinoza  11- Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Bulter  12- A Forty Year Kiss by Nickolas Butler  13- The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller  14- Circe by Madeline Miller  15- Nowhere Boy by Katherine Marsh  16- Leonard and Hungry Paul by Ronan Hession   Media Mentioned -  1- The Silent Type: On Possibly Being Bob Dylan's Son- https://harpers.org/archive/2021/05/the-silent-type-on-possibly-being-bob-dylans-son/ 2- School Cell Phone Ban Increases Library Visits - https://www.wave3.com/2025/09/02/school-cell-phone-ban-creates-surge-jcps-library-visits/ 3- Reading for Pleasure Declines - https://abcnews.go.com/Health/americans-spend-time-reading-fun-time-screens-study/story?id=124807367 4- The Four Seasons (Netflix 2025) 5- The Four Seasons (1981) 6- How the Passionate Male Friendship Died --https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2025/05/men-friendship-history/682815/    

✨ Think the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards caught all the best science fiction of the 1980s? Think again. In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim digs deep into the decade that gave us cyberpunk, space opera epics, and dystopian thrillers—spotlighting the amazing books that somehow slipped through the awards radar.From forgotten alien invasions to near-future technothrillers, post-apocalyptic survival tales to deep philosophical thought experiments, these are the novels readers loved but committees overlooked. For each year of the decade, you'll get Jim's pick for the “best” snubbed book plus a worthy runner-up—and maybe discover some new favorites for your TBR.

It's episode 218 and time for us to talk about the Book Club Books!

Plus, we discuss geographic-specific food we miss! You can download the podcast directly, find it on Libsyn, or get it through Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast delivery system.

In the first episode of Hawthornden's Como Conversazione, we start with an exercise in practical translation: a discussion of seven different English interpretations of one, highly complicated sentence from Volume One of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time.  Maureen Freely will speak first, followed by Daisy Rockwell, Virginia Jewiss, Jeremy Tiang, and finally Tiffany Tsao.

It's time to empty out the junk drawer. This time, Lee and Nathan find stories about how it might not actually be the year we think it is, a strange flying jellyfish over Eastern Canada, and how the CIA might be spying on you through your video games.

This is such a special episode because, for the first time ever, I'm interviewing an author about their book, because it's one of my favorite books! Gingko Season by Naomi Xu Elegant is a story about a young woman, Penelope Lin, who is moving through the world after her first big heartbreak and discovering herself while on the cusp between young adulthood and adulthood. The depiction of this time of life is just one of the things I loved about this book, and I was thrilled to be able to discuss it with Naomi!Naomi Xu Elegant is a freelance journalist and the author of the novel Gingko Season. She lives in New York. Naomi's writing has appeared in Monocle, Fortune, Atlas Obscura, Nikkei Asia, The Drift, and elsewhere. She is co-editor of Gully, an independent literary magazine, and she writes a monthly Substack called Luanqibazao.I would love for you to read Gingko Season, check out this review from the New York Times!Our drink this week is a Lychee Martini, which is featured in the book. As I found out during our discussion, including these martinis was an Easter egg for Naomi's mom, because they're her favorite cocktail. I asked if she'd be willing to share the recipe with us as a special addition to the episode, and she did! She said the secret is to blend whole lychees and lychee juice together, then strain the mixture through a sieve to get that lovely, milky color.Lychee Martini Recipe2 oz. vodka2 oz. lychee juiceShake in a cocktail shaker over ice.Serve neat in a cocktail glass.Garnish with a whole lychee (optional)Naomi's mom's tip: Blend whole lychees with lychee juice (both canned), then strain through a sieve to get your juice. The blended fruit gives it that lovely, clouded look.You can also add a bit of citrus or a dash of dry vermouth—lychee martinis are meant for everyone!In This EpisodeGarden State FilmFriday I'm In Love - Phoebe Bridgers CoverNapoleon FilmFoot Binding HistoryMiddlemarch by George EliotIn Search of Lost Time by Marcel ProustKazou IshiguroSally RooneyElena FerranteA Feather on the Breath of God by Sigrid NunezThe Sympathizer by Viet Thanh NguyenThe Candy House by Jennifer EganNaomi's Substack

What if 11 days just disappeared? It happened in 1752. This video explains the lost days, the daylight savings time connection, and why we still struggle with time today. Discover how a calendar change shook the world—missing wages, confused farmers, shifted birthdays, and even George Washington's “new” birthday. From mobs yelling “Give us back our 11 days!” to parallels with Y2K panic and today's daylight savings chaos, this isn't just a strange moment in history—it's a warning about how fragile our relationship with time really is. 

Tonight, we'll read another excerpt from French writer Marcel Proust's monumental “In Search of Lost Time” which is seven volumes long, and first published in 1913. “In Search of Lost Time” follows the narrator's recollections and experiences in the late 19th-century and early 20th-century high-society France, while reflecting on the loss of time and lack of meaning in the world. This series does not necessarily need to be followed in order. Rather than being plot driven, it is more of a meditation on memories, consciousness and ambiance. The first episode aired on May 9th, 2022, and is titled “Overture.” The second episode, “The Magic Lantern” aired on July 11, 2022. The third episode, “M. Swann” aired on September 12, 2022.A madeleine de Proust is an expression used to describe smells, tastes, sounds or any sensations reminding you of your childhood or simply bringing back emotional memories from a long time ago. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Dr. Vitz talks about what it takes to close relationship gaps and what it takes to go there boldly.

Tonight, we'll read “M. Swann” the next part in our series from French writer Marcel Proust's monumental “In Search of Lost Time” which is seven volumes long, and first published in 1913. “In Search of Lost Time” follows the narrator's recollections and experiences in the late 19th-century and early 20th-century high-society France. This series does not necessarily need to be followed in order—as it drifts more like memory itself, circling themes and impressions rather than following a linear story. In this episode, we meet Charles Swann, a family acquaintance whose name and presence loom large in the narrator's early life. Though Swann appears casual and charming, his social status, romantic entanglements, and eventual tragedies become central threads in the broader tapestry of the novel. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

This series does not necessarily need to be followed in sequential order as it is more about an ambiance than a plot. In the first episode, “Overture”, the narrator recalls his childhood, bedtimes, bedrooms of his memories, and the peculiar states of consciousness related to sleep. This episode features memories about the magic lantern the narrator's family gives him as a child to help him with his insomnia. Magic lanterns were an early form of a slide projector. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus! Learn more about your ad choices.

Stolen Organs, Lost Time & UFO Messages in Cabbage?! That's right, this week, we are covering ALIENS! Strap in, fantoms—this week, we're trading haunted houses for something out of this world. We're diving into real-life encounters with extraterrestrials, and let's just say... the stories are mind-melting. Missing organs with no surgical scars? UFOs hovering over farms and mysteriously rearranging crops? A full-blown Men in Black cover-up?! Yep, it's all here. We're talking: A listener who went to the ER only to discover an organ vanished—and childhood memories that suggest aliens might be responsible Mysterious lights in the sky that seemed to be watching... and then vanished into thin air A farm crew witnessing a classic UFO landing—only for their phones to be confiscated by mysterious black SUVs the next day Plus, we explore the strangest theory yet: What if aliens aren't just visitors... but intergalactic party hosts abducting humans for a cosmic dance-off? (Look, we can dream.) So grab your tinfoil hats, keep an eye on the sky, and get ready for a wild ride through the weird, the unexplained, and the “please don't take my kidney” moments of alien lore.

Mary "Bobo" Shinn was a well liked, friendly and talented artist and teacher living in her native Magnolia, Arkansas.  Teaching classes out of a small art studio she purchased north of the town square, she made strong connections with many people, both children and adults, as she guided them to find their artistic abilities.On Thursday, July 20th, 1978, the twenty-five year old was supposed to get together with friends when she received a call from a man interested in purchasing a house she'd recently remodeled.  Bobo agreed to pick the man up, since his car was in the shop, and left her art studio.  She was spotted around town several times and then she mysteriously vanished.Her car was found abandoned in a grocery store parking lot hours later.  The keys dangled from the ignition and scratches and scrapes suggested the vehicle had been driven off road.  Despite an assortment of eye witnesses, no one has ever been able to identify the man Bobo was seen with that afternoon and nearly 50 years later her case remains open.LostnFound PodcastFollow Trace Evidence on Social MediaTwitter --- Instagram --- TikTok --- YouTube --- Like Facebook Page --- Join Facebook Group --- Threads --- Like MeWe Page --- Join MeWe Group --- BlueskySuppport Trace EvidencePatreon --- Paypal --- Buy Me A CoffeeTrace Evidence Merch ShopsTeePublic --- Threadless --- SpreadshopAll Other LinksOfficial Trace Evidence Website --- LinkTreeMusic Courtesy of: "Lost Time" & "Galactic Rap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/#truecrimepodcast #unsolvedmysteries #coldcase #coldcaseinvestigation #murder #murdermystery #missingperson #missingpersons #truecrimecommunity #mysterypodcast #truecrime #coldcasefiles #truecrimestories #crimelovers #truecrimeaddict #truecrimejunkie #crimescene #justiceforall #missing #crimesquad #podcastcommunity #sleuthsunite #darkhistories #criminalmindset #detective #detectivediaries #forensics #forensicfiles #crimestories #crimepodcast #traceevidence #traceevidencepodcast #criminalinvestigation #justiceforvictims #detectivework #truecrimediscussion #podcastfamily #listenandsolve #crimefans #listentotraceevidence #uncoverthetruth #podcastrecommendations #podcastlove #podcastlife #truecrimeobsessed #followtheclues #cluefinders #podcastaddict #unsolvedmurders #unsolveddisappearances #detectiveatheart #jointheinvestigation #disappearance #vanishing #abduction #gonemissing #upandvanished #pacheco #stevenpacheco #podcasting #crimetalk #crimeanalysis #theories #realcrimes #disappeared #evidence #shinn #boboshinn #maryshinn #michaelmorse #arkansascrime #arkansasunsolved #magnolia #magnoliaarkansas #magnoliaar #arkansasstatepolice #mikeloe #russellwelch #greshamshinn #shinnfamilyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trace-evidence--3207798/support.
