235. Who do you consider a lifelong friend? Someone you've known for decades? A newer friend you feel deeply bonded to? In the final episode of The Heart of Friendship series—celebrating connection, sisterhood, and shared growth—I chat with my dear friend Michelle, who I've been friends with since we were 16, for a heartfelt, funny, and honest conversation about what it means to grow up and older together. We share behind-the-scenes stories from our wild days in our 20s (like lying to our moms and driving 27 hours from Minneapolis to New Orleans for Mardi Gras just to follow a boy), reflect on how we've changed (and stayed the same), and and talk candidly about navigating our 50s without children—making peace with that, and what it's meant for our lives and friendship. Through laughter, love, and deep appreciation, we explore what it really means to keep showing up for each other over decades. This one's for anyone who knows the beauty—and the sacredness—of a friendship that lasts a lifetime. ~ ~ > A new way to work with me!

Episode 289: This episode supported by USAE News! This week I spoke with Walt Leger, President & CEO of New Orleans & Company. Walt is a native of New Orleans and shares his love for this beautiful city, its long history and its bright future. New Orleans has something for everyone including: world-class cuisine, a vibrant artists' community, a convention center that is retooling for the future, a renowned World War II Museum, City Park for family fun, and major events that include sports, music, and even Pokemon! (I didn't even know Pokemon was still a thing.) We also discuss the city's people and how they always have time to be friendly and welcoming to visitors. As Walt shares in our talk, "New Orleans exists in the imagination of so many people in so many ways. I call it magical because I do think it's a magical place that's not like everywhere else." Listen to this fascinating episode about one of the world's most popular cities and get an insider's view on why this should be on your list to visit. There's more to this exciting city than Mardi Gras. What do you think of when you think of New Orleans? Share a comment!

Located on the banks of the Mississippi river, New Orleans is famous for many things such as jazz music, Creole and Cajun cuisine, and a rich cultural heritage that blends African, Native American, Spanish, Caribbean, and French ancestry. Nicknamed “The Big Easy”, New Orleans conjures up images of Mardi Gras parades with their colourful purple, green, and gold bead necklaces, and bands walking the streets playing to roaring crowds… But the joyful, celebratory side of New Orleans has an equally dark, sombre, and much more frightening side…This is Haunted UK Abroad, and today we visit the Southern state of Louisianna in the U.S. and, specifically, the – by all accounts very haunted – city of New Orleans.Do you have an interesting story which you'd be willing to share with the show?

Imagine a place steeped in history, where the echoes of punches thrown and cheers from wrestling matches still resonate. That's the South Broadway Athletic Club (SBAC), a St. Louis institution that has stood the test of time since 1899. In this episode, we sit down with authors Miriam Moynihan and Ryan Buckley, who have captured the essence of the club in their new book. They discuss how the club has transitioned from a gritty training ground for boxers and wrestlers to a beloved social haven where locals gather for food, fun, and fellowship. With tales of the Golden Gloves champions and community events that have become traditions, the episode paints a vivid picture of the club's impact on the local culture. We also explore how the club has navigated through tough times, including near closure, and how it has rebounded to become a vital part of the Soulard neighborhood.

Grab your backpacks and questionable decision-making, because it's time for another lesson in What Not to Bring to School! This week on Blurry Hysteria, we dive into two stories that have educators nationwide clutching their stress balls.First up, a student shows up to class with a live grenade for show-and-tell, proving once again that kids will literally bring anything to school—except a signed permission slip. Was it a cry for attention? A misunderstood prop? Or did this kid just take Call of Duty way too seriously?Then we slide straight into a wobbly mess of sugar and scandal as a kindergartner hands out jello shots like it's Mardi Gras in the cafeteria. Forget snack time, it's party time! (Just don't tell the principal. Or Child Protective Services.)It's all explosive fun (sometimes literally) on this week's Blurry Hysteria—where the only thing more questionable than these stories is how they even happened in the first place.Pack your juice box (not the Bot Booze spiked kind) and join us!Links & Resources

James pulled a lot of 1960s garage rock, beat, and other rockers in recent digging, and Uwe has dug into his collection for some forgotten favorites. You'll hear a one of many great records on a cartoon record label, Jackie Wilson singing about the New Breed, a rarity from Columbus, Ohio's Capsoul label, a Mardi Gras staple, and a record we considered one of our first "rare" soul finds before years of collecting redefined what rare and valuable meant. -Originally broadcast May 18, 2025- Willie Mitchell / That Driving BeatBobby McClure / Don't Get Your Signals CrossedAlbert Washington and the Kings / Rome, GAThe Guilloteens / For My OwnJackie Wilson / The New BreedPrentiss McPhail / Moolah ManKenni Woods / Back With My BabyThe Young Ideas / Barney BussTawny Von / Last Night (I Found the Boy)The Clique / Stay By MeTommy Duncan / Dance, Dance, DancePaul Peek / Pin the Tail On the Donkey"Doc" & The Interns / Baby I KnowFive by Five / Apple CiderTommy James and the Shondells / Run, Run, Baby, RunThe Bo Street Runners / AladdinGene Chandler / Nothing Can Stop MeBilly Joe & The Checkmates / Forbidden PlanetJohnson, Hawkins, Tatum & Durr / Your Love Keeps Drawing Me CloserDerek Martin / Soul PowerJohnny Barnes / Real NiceChoc / I Want You To Be My GirlThe Valentinos / Let's Get TogetherThe Lost Souls / The Girl I LoveThe Catalinas / You Haven't The RightBook of Matches / Hard to Be Without YouBobby Bland / Getting Used To The BluesAl Johnson / Carnival TimeThe Blendtones / Come On HomeThe Force Five / I Want You BabeCarter Brothers / (She's So Fine) So Glad She's MineLyn La Salle / Randee Ram-JetLaVern Baker / One Monkey (Don't Stop the Show)Michael & The Messengers / Run & HideAlpha Zoe / You Beat Me to the PunchMarvin Holmes & The Uptights / Ooh Ooh The Dragon - Part I Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 8, where witness intimidation is the featured crime. This is Ace of Hearts by Margaret S. Hamilton“Ace of Hearts” is Margaret S. Hamilton's third published short story set in New Orleans, a city she knows and loves, from the manicured acres of City Park to the potholed streets of the Lower Garden District. New Orleans is a city defined by food: fried oyster po'boys, Abita beer, beignets, and chicory coffee. A city of haunting jazz melodies and spectacular Mardi Gras parades. A city that survives adversity and thrives, like Calliope Hebert, the main character of this story.DELIBERATIONCallie is on a tight timeline with no room for error. She needs our help if she's going to find the flash drive and save her mother. There are the potential locations for the flash drive:House of Rising Sun Dress sign, outside the door to Mama's apartmentKrewe stiletto heel, in the dining room on the shelvesPin cushion, kept on Mama's bedside tableLipstick tube, given by Mama's sisterBroken flashlight, stored in Mama's bedroom Here are the clues Callie has to work with:Ace downloaded business records from John Readon to a flash drive before he disappeared last SpringMama sold the house and moved the family to the duplex. The furniture is new. Only personal items and Mama's dress business were movedCallie saw Mama shove something into the side of the house when she was hanging up her business signCallie's aunt gave Mama the tube of lipstick when she came to the partyThe pin cushion was in the draw where Callie found the queen of hearts playing cardThe flashlight Callie tried to use when the lights went out didn't turn on and sounded like there was something loose inside.When Callie asked her mother about the things Ace left, she didn't seem to know where the information was. The only thing Ace said was “think about our wedding day.”The Reardon's reported a rumor that the flash drive was hidden in the Krewe stilettos.Where should Callie look for the flash drive? About Witness IntimidationWitness intimidation is as old as crime itself. And it actually is a crime – witness intimidation, witness tampering. From the attorney general of Pennsylvania comes the very recent case of Dushawn Ellis who was facing charges of human trafficking. While in jail, he put out a $20,000 hit on the witness. Ellis approached another inmate of the county prison who knew the witness and used that connection and the bounty to video chat with the witness and personally make the threat. The witness held their ground and Ellis was charged with two counts of felony witness intimidation and one count of obstruction of justice. He was convicted by a jury in February 2024, was sentences to 8 ½ to 22 years. The original human trafficking was ongoing as of that time.

Patrick shares stories of his mother and her ability to light up a room whenever she walks in. "She's always herself," beams Patrick. Patrick attributes, her sense of humor to her brothers and he says "she's a little butch, not too feminine."  And all of that and more makes him love his mother even more. "She unadulterated herself. She never code switches or changes her behavior depending on the crowd. She always her most authentic self."Eight years of piano lessons was tough for Patrick. He didn't like the repetitive method that his teacher was using and he was bored. His mom eventually had to ground him for not practicing. But that's when he started exploring with little chunks, the melodies, the notes, breaking things down, playing them backwards and forwards until he absolutely fell in love with playing the piano. Patrick claims that his mom "gave him that space to be able to do that and what a privilege." He also admits that his ADHD was most likely a big part of the problem and today, finds great relief by taking a prescribed medication. Patrick's philosophy "even though life around you is chaos, you can still find an inner calm/inner peace, and my mom has that in spades. She can re-infect a room with her vibrancy so easily.She walks into a room and it lights up.""My mother knows that she's infectious around everybody else and so she's able to kind of manipulate that too to better suit the environment a little bit. She thinks everyone should be themselves, most authentically all the time.Below is the first first email response that I got from Patrick having asked if he'd be interested in joining me on SHLTMM."Hey Jackie. Thanks for reaching out! I love this concept for a podcast. My story fits perfectly for this since she's been a freelance true crime documentary writer for decades and she allowed me to feel confident in that space, just seeing her succeed and talking about the struggles in that space. I had a good role model. And also… she was the one who grounded me if I didn't practice piano lol, and now I'm a professional pianist so… I owe it to her for a lot of who I am today

The show kicks off with Nikki schooling Brie on Mardi Gras and what “today years-old” actually means. The Garcia Twins are gearing up for Lent, but they're unsure what they want to give up for the season, so they kick around some ideas, including some family activities to challenge themselves this year that include gratitude and prayer. School's back in session when Nikki has to teach Brie about some current slang terms and vintage vernacular. Then Nikki explains why people need to chill on DMing her about out-of-context moments from the podcast that have made headlines in the past few weeks. Brie has updates on the chickens and their new coup. Nikki has also been making some upgrades around the house and is at a crossroads as to what needs to be worked on next. Smash or Pass? That's the big question on today's show.

We continue our discussion about which new NFL head coaches nailed and lost their introductory press conferences and then dive into the hires made around the league so far. Is there any coach whose perception has a starker contrast between fans and people within the NFL than Mike McCarthy? Does Mike McCarthy look like Mardi Gras? Is Mardi Gras actually magical or is it just a place where Greg Cote wakes up with mashed potatoes in his hair next to his friend Tom Jordan who LOOKS like Mike McCarthy? Also, Stugotz thinks Dan may have slashed his tires with an ice pick and we open an investigation into what happened. Plus, Dan is bringing threats back for 1-800 Flowers, Jess had an awkward moment with Dianna Russini, and NFL coach names that sound like they would make good doctors.
