In 1765, King George III and his ministers in the British Parliament sparked outrage in the American Colonies when they announced they were issuing the Stamp Act, the first direct tax on the Colonies. American critics decried the “taxation without representation,” and Boston radicals staged protests, boycotts, and attacks on tax collectors.After a decade of growing tension over taxes, representation, and imperial control, the first shots of the Revolutionary War rang out in the Massachusetts countryside, as colonial militiamen confronted British regulars on the Lexington village green.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

More info on the website under the events tab. Okay.. our top story this week: XX Afrezza inhaled insulin is now approved for kids and teens. The FDA okayed MannKind's afrezza for children 6 and older with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. MannKind says its proprietary Technosphere drug delivery platform enables the rapid absorption of insulin into systemic circulation. This follows FDA approval earlier this year for an update that revises recommendations for the starting mealtime dosage when patients switch from subcutaneous mealtime insulin regimens. MannKind also completed enrollment in February for a study evaluating the initiation of Afrezza therapy shortly after type 1 diabetes diagnosis in pediatric patients.   The company said it made Afrezza available for eligible patients for $35 or less per month. Desmond Schatz, professor of pediatrics at the University of Florida College of Medicine, said: "Mealtime insulin can be especially challenging for children because eating and snacking patterns, activity levels, and daily settings like school and sports often vary. With its rapid onset and dosing at the start of a meal, Afrezza may help clinicians better match insulin therapy to how children and families live day to day, while offering a needle-free mealtime option." Lots more to come on this – we're working on a bonus episode with one of the pediatric endos who worked on the clinical trials that led to this approval – hopefully have that out later this week. https://www.massdevice.com/mannkind-fda-approval-inhaled-insulin-children/ XX FDA has agreed to consider a new drug for the treatment of adults with type 1 and chronic kidney disease. Finerenone (fy-near-uh-known) is currently approved in the US for adults with CKD associated with type 2 diabetes and for adults with heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or greater. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is present in over one-third of adults with diabetes, and because it's such a serious condition, interventions are needed to reduce its incidence and help people live a long and prosperous life. https://www.docwirenews.com/post/fda-grants-priority-review-to-finerenone-snda-for-type-1-diabetes-associated-ckd XX Abbot gets European approval for the world's first dual glucose‑ketone sensing technology for people with diabetes. They're calling this Libre Duo and Libre Duo 10 Day, and it's designed to continuously measure glucose and ketone levels every minute. Abbott plans to begin launching Libre Duo systems in select European countries later this year. Libre Duo delivers up to 15 days of wear and will be offered to adults ages 18 and older. Libre Duo 10 Day offers up to 10 days of wear and is intended for people ages 2 and older. Abbott is also working with leading pump companies to allow automated insulin delivery (AID) systems to connect with the sensors. https://abbott.mediaroom.com/2026-05-27-Abbott-secures-CE-Mark-for-worlds-first-dual-glucose-ketone-sensing-technology-for-people-with-diabetes   XX Huge recall for Omnipod. Insulin says a manufacturing issue through ongoing product monitoring that could result in insulin under-delivery  with specific lots of its Omnipod 5, Dash and Eros pods. Insulet said the scope of this action reaches approximately 7 million pods. This issue is separate from the March recall that affected certain Omnipod 5 lots. According to the Acton, Massachusetts-based company, some of its affected pods may have a small tear in the tubing (cannula) just above the skin. This tear lands between the pod and the point where the cannula enters the body. If this occurs, insulin may leak outside of the device instead of being fully delivered into the body as intended. This may lead to under-delivery of the therapeutic.   Individuals using an affected pod may notice wetness on the skin or pod adhesive or detect the smell of insulin. However, some cases may prove difficult to detect and go unnoticed. Of the approximately 7 million pods included in the action, approximately 60% have been consumed or are expired. The pods affected by the correction represent approximately 8.5% of the 2025 global Omnipod pod prodcution. Insulet says it has sufficient supply to replace affected pods. It expects no disruption to product availability. The company said it has notified the FDA and all other relevant regulatory authorities of its action.   The full list of affected pod lots can be found here. https://www.massdevice.com/insulet-another-omnipod-5-recall-dash-eros/ XX Dexcom is warning that certain scrapped glucose sensors have been stolen and resold. Dexcom said it has not received any reports of severe adverse events associated with the stolen product. One lot of scrapped devices carries a risk of infection for sensors that are not properly sterilized, and another lot had an elevated internal testing failure rate, meaning users would have an increased risk of having no sensor readings available. Dexcom said the affected sensors were stolen during the destruction process and then sold by third parties. The company routinely scraps sensors that do not meet its standards. The sensors are sent to a third-party vendor for destruction and recycling.   Dexcom said it traced sales of the stolen devices to Pharmsource, which is not an authorized Dexcom distributor but supplies some independent pharmacies and U.S. durable medical equipment distributors. Because of this, pharmacies that purchase products from Pharmsource should review their inventory, Dexcom said.   People with sensors from the affected lots should not use those sensors and can call customer support to request replacements. Dexcom has set up a website to help users check if their devices are affected. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-warns-of-scrapped-glucose-sensors-being-resold/821139/ XX XX   Beta Bionics plans to debut its first insulin patch pump by the end of the second quarter of 2027, subject to Food and Drug Administration clearance. The device, called Mint, would be compatible with Beta Bionics' interoperable automated glycemic controller, a software that allows for the pump to automatically adjust insulin delivery based on readings from a glucose sensor. Beta Bionics first unveiled the prototype for Mint last year at the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions. The device is expected to have a similar size and wear time, at three days, to Insulet's patch pumps on the market. It would have a 200-unit insulin reservoir.   Mint differs by containing a mix of reusable and disposable components. Beta Bionics plans to make the device exclusively available in the pharmacy channel, building on its existing agreements for its current iLet insulin pump. Beta Bionics is one of several diabetes tech companies developing patch pumps to compete with market leader Insulet. Tandem Diabetes Care and Medtronic spinoff MiniMed have also announced planned patch pumps. Tandem said it plans to file a 510(k) submission this quarter for a tubeless version of its small, durable pump, and Medtronic plans to submit its patch pump to the FDA this fall.   https://www.medtechdive.com/news/beta-bionics-to-launch-its-first-insulin-patch-pump-to-compete-with-insulet/821091/ XX CVS puts Zepbound back on it's coverage list – with it's Caremark PBM. They also added Foundayo, Lilly's obesity pill. CVS had dropped Lilly's Zepound last summer but kept competitor Wegovy. It'll be back at Caremark October first. All three of the nation's largest pharmacy ⁠benefit managers ​now cover Lilly's full obesity medicine portfolio. https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/cvs-brings-back-coverage-lillys-obesity-drug-zepbound-2026-05-28/   More to come, including a new benefit from metformin for women, something new from Tidepool, big news for T1D in Austalia and more.. XX A new study suggests that higher long-term exposure to food colouring additives — including both synthetic and natural colourings commonly found in processed foods and beverages — may be associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Researchers analyzed data from more than 108,000 adults in the French NutriNet-Santé cohort between 2009 and 2023, following participants for a median of just over eight years. During that time, 1,131 participants developed type 2 diabetes. The study found that people with the highest intake of total food colouring additives had a 38% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with non- or low-consumers.   Several specific additives were linked to increased risk, including caramel colouring additives such as total caramel (E150 family), plain caramel (E150a), sulphite ammonia caramel (E150d), and beta-carotene (E160a). Additional associations were observed for curcumin (E100), anthocyanins (E163), paprika extract (E160c), lutein (E161b), and cochineal-derived colourings (E120). "Our findings revealed positive associations between widely consumed food colouring additives and type 2 diabetes incidence," the authors wrote, adding that further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms behind the findings and whether food colouring regulations should be reevaluated. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/use-common-food-colours-tied-high-type-2-diabetes-risk-2026a1000hes XX Big news for Australia – their Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approves Tzield. Tzield is now approved in Australia to delay the onset of stage 3 (or clinical) T1D in people aged eight years and older with stage 2 T1D – the early, pre-symptomatic stage of the condition, where changes in blood glucose levels have begun but insulin therapy is not yet required. Breakthrough T1D Australia Chief Executive Officer, Sydney Yovic, said the approval represented a transformational moment for Australians affected by T1D. https://newshub.medianet.com.au/2026/05/landmark-approval-of-tzield-in-australia-ushers-in-a-new-era-of-delay-for-type-1-diabetes/155036/ XX https://www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/05/diabetes-pregnancy/687324/ XX A common diabetes drug may hold great potential to help with aging, even if scientists aren't exactly sure why. According to a study, the drug metformin doesn't just help patients to effectively manage their type 2 diabetes. it may also give older women a better chance of living to 90. Scientists in the US and Germany used data from a long-term US study of postmenopausal women.   Records for a total of 438 people were selected – half of whom took metformin to treat diabetes, and half of whom took a different diabetes drug, sulfonylurea.   While there are some caveats and asterisks to the study, those in the metformin group were calculated to have a 30 percent lower risk of dying before the age of 90 than those in the sulfonylurea group. The study used age 90 as the marker for 'exceptional' longevity. However, scientists aren't yet sure that the drug extends lifespan, especially in humans – which is part of the reason for this study. RCTs could follow further down the line to dig deeper into these results, the researchers suggest. In the meantime, as the global population continues to skew older, studies continue to find ways to keep us healthier for longer and reduce damage to the body as we age. https://www.sciencealert.com/a-common-diabetes-drug-is-linked-with-exceptional-longevity-in-women XX The American Diabetes Association® (ADA) will host the 2026 Scientific Sessions from June 5-8 in New Orleans. The ADA's Scientific Sessions is the world's largest diabetes meeting, convening an expected audience of over 12,000 leading physicians, scientists, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the globe. The premier diabetes meeting, which is also offered virtually, will feature the latest scientific findings in diabetes and obesity, where leading experts and peers will share findings in research for prevention, care, and cures at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Key themes will include: Advancing obesity and metabolic health: Prevention, early detection, and disease modification: Improving cardiometabolic outcomes: Transforming care through innovation and access: New research will highlight how technology, artificial intelligence, and implementation strategies are reshaping diabetes care—reducing treatment burden, expanding access, and enabling more person-centered care.

This episode is sponsored by smartwater®Ruth E. Carter is a trailblazing costume designer known for her work on Malcolm X, the Black Panther films, Sinners, and so many more iconic works. She has been awarded Academy Awards, a BAFTA, a Critics Choice Award, the Costume Designers Guild Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But before that, she was exploring Black literature and history in Black Studies-focused enrichment programs in her home state of Massachusetts. When she was a young adult, she was deconstructing clothing and taking notes from grunge scenes, citing Lisa Bonet and Madonna as early beauty and style inspiration. In our conversation, Ruth walks us through her life and career, explaining how the girl who dressed like a grunge artist would introduce Afrofuturism to the world. During our chat, Ruth tells us about how she has always drawn on her interest in literary, dramatic, and visual arts to design on film sets. She shared the initial culture shock she experienced at her HBCU, Hampton, and how the theater department helped her blend her artistic sensibilities with the coiffed presentation of her classmates. Ruth detailed how she drew on these experiences in her first position in School Daze, and how her dedication led to the first of many creative collaborations with directors like Spike Lee, which would shape her career. Our conversation ranges from the specific way she employs the lessons her psychologist mother taught her, like gaining and keeping people's trust, to spending time with Tina Turner. We discussed so much of her portfolio, and what compelled her to begin archiving her designs, which now make up the traveling exhibition “Ruth E.

A retirement is a terrible thing to waste. Don’t just retire. Design your new phase of life – with intention. Our next groups start in September. The very early registration discount ends June 21st. Learn more. ________________________ Retirement rarely unfolds exactly as planned. For Jerry Goodstein, retirement began with a clear sense of direction and a meaningful endeavor. But unexpected challenges, a deeply emotional experience helping his daughter move across the country, and an encounter with the world of ADHD coaching changed everything. In this conversation, Jerry shares how his retirement story became less about executing a blueprint and more about learning how to “turn into the swerve”  by staying open to reinvention, purpose, lifelong learning, and becoming someone new later in life. This is a thoughtful conversation about identity, letting go, service, and the surprising ways purpose can evolve, over time and in ways you may not expect, after retirement. In This Conversation, You'll Learn Why God laughs at your retirement plans How unexpected “swerves” can open new directions in life The opportunities to repurpose your skills in retirement Why letting go of identity is often difficult for high achievers How lifelong learning can reignite energy, curiosity and engagement What coaching taught Jerry about listening and presence Why service became more important than living a life of leisure ___________________________ Bio Jerry Goodstein is Professor Emeritus, Carson College of Business, Department of Management, Information Systems, and Entrepreneurship at Washington State University. Dr. Goodstein received his Ph.D. in Business Administration from the University of California, Berkeley, and his MBA and BA in Economics and Geography from the University of California, Los Angeles. He conducted research and taught business ethics, leadership, and strategy at the undergraduate and graduate levels for over three decades at Washington State University and the University of Illinois. His research on restorative justice in organizations, corporate and stakeholder responsibility, and second chance hiring has been published in leading management and business ethics journals. He is co-editor, along with Dr. Mary Gentile, of Giving Voice to Values: An Innovation and Impact Agenda, published in 2021. After retiring from Washington State University in May 2020, Dr. Goodstein continued work he had begun in 2019 to bring together businesses, criminal justice partners, and community-based organizations to develop employment-based opportunities for formerly incarcerated men and women. In January 2023 Dr. Goodstein made a major retirement/life shift to become a Certified ADHD Life Coach. He founded Where You Are ADHD after completing his ADHD life coaching program in December 2023. Since then, he has been coaching youth (teens and tweens) with ADHD. Dr. Goodstein partners with public and community-based organizations, especially those working with at-risk youth, to support both youth and their families in meeting the ADHD-related challenges they are facing in their lives. __________________________ For More onn Jerry Goodstein Where You Are ADHD _________________________ Retirement Podcast Conversations You’ll Also Love The Inspired Retirement – Nathalie Martin The Best Day of My Life So Far – Benita Cooper Changing the World One Small Act at a Time – Brad Aronson ________________________ Wise Quotes On Being Open to Reality “There are just some unanticipated swerves that come up…Turn into the swerve…Don't turn against it.” On Becoming a Beginner Again “It absolutely feels like a new beginning for me….“It's never too late to learn.

CannCon and Zak Paine open June with a Monday show full of big moments. Tina Peters walks out of a Colorado prison live on Steve Bannon's War Room, and CannCon and Zak play her full statement about lead in the water, a sugar-and-salt prison diet that destroyed her blood sugar, and violent offenders with 2050 exit dates sharing her facility. New Jersey's Delaney Hall ICE protests produce five out-of-state arrests from a single night, a truck driver's viral counter-speech that breaks Antifa's brain, an undercover infiltration of the protest camp revealing USAID-branded gas masks and tactical supplies, and Zak's framing that the entire occupation is a deliberate intelligence-gathering sting. A man who threatened to kill ICE officers and their families on camera is promptly arrested by the FBI, Todd Blanche confirming the DOJ is done tolerating it. The America 250 concert at the National Mall starts losing performers who claim they were misled about Trump's involvement, and Trump responds on Truth Social by offering to replace them all with himself and giving a rally instead. Muckrakers drops a seventeen-minute investigation tracking SNAP benefits purchased in Massachusetts onto boats to Santo Domingo and into Dominican Republic bodegas. Seattle's mayor refuses to investigate, citing community fear.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Season Five! A wheel of cheese flying down a steep hill while grown adults cartwheel after it sounds fake, but it's real and it's our kind of “what did I just watch?” kickoff to season five. We start with summer creeping in, school schedules getting weird, and that parenting scramble where someone always has the wrong dismissal time. From there, we lean into the stories that make life feel lighter, even when everything is busy.We get into the Gloucestershire cheese rolling contest (unofficial but still unhinged), then move to internet food trends like the TikTok chip bag sandwich and a product we can't stop thinking about for all the wrong reasons: the Hellmann's mayo bow tie, a wearable condiment dispenser that should probably come with a warning label. If you love pop culture, viral trends, and the humor hidden in everyday life, you'll feel right at home.Things turn surprisingly thoughtful when we talk friendship and trust through the “two beers and a puppy” test. It's a simple way to name the difference between the friends you have fun with and the friends you'd trust with something that matters. We also debate whether the modern handbag is fading out as pockets, briefcases, and cargo shorts surge, and we share what's actually inside our bags. Add in a creepy seven-foot puppet found on a Massachusetts lawn, some pure 90s nostalgia (Five Alive, High-C, Ecto Cooler), and a quick dive into the origin of the high five, and you've got a season opener packed with laughs and real-life warmth.If you enjoy funny, relatable conversations about motherhood, friendship, and modern life, subscribe, share this with a friend who'd pass the puppy test, and leave a review so more people can find us.

Cranberries have been a staple of Indigenous culture in North America for hundreds of years – and not just as food. Soon, European settlers also found the benefits of the berry, which would eventually become the state fruit of Massachusetts. These days, cranberries hold a special place on our Thanksgiving tables, but also in everyday baked goods, granolas and, of course, as a delicious, tart juice. In honor of our ongoing celebration of America's 250th anniversary, we're boiling down the long history of cranberries in the United States.

This is part two of my conversation with author and researcher Norman Sollie, and this is where the rubber meets the road. In our first episode together on Friday, Norman walked us through more than four decades of his own personal encounters with Sasquatch across Washington, Illinois, Massachusetts, Colorado, and Alaska. If you missed it, go back and listen to that one first. You're going to want the foundation. In part two, we leave Norman's personal experiences behind and we dig into the work he's spent the last several years building. His brand-new book, Before Patty, Volume One: Patrick, the Sasquatch-Human Hybrid and Our Genetic Inheritance, lays out a case unlike anything I've seen in this field in close to forty years of paying attention.Norman walks me through the chain that brought him to the story in the first place, starting with a self-published Russian hominology book he picked up at the twenty nineteen International Bigfoot Conference in Kennewick, Washington, that pointed him toward an obscure American anthropologist named Dr. Ed Fusch and a nineteen ninety-two paper most of the Bigfoot community had never heard of.He walks me through how genealogist Heather Moser of Small Town Monsters cracked the trail open in forty-eight hours, and how Norman then spent the next two years personally tracking Patrick across the entire historical record, eventually surfacing a hundred and sixty documents that all point to the same man.The case Norman lays out is built on hard evidence. Birth records placing Patrick's birth in June of eighteen ninety-two, three months earlier than the family officially declared, with the strong implication that his mother was moved off-reservation to Chelan, Washington, to give birth in privacy.A land patent on a hundred and four acres of Colville Reservation ranch land, signed by President Woodrow Wilson in nineteen seventeen. Court filings and arrest records from Patrick's later years documenting his slide into Prohibition-era bootlegging and alcoholism. Mugshots from the front and the side that show a man whose anatomy does not fit a clean Homo sapiens profile. And a careful ink signature in Patrick's own hand, consistent across roughly twenty-five years of documents, that now sits on the cover of Norman's book.Norman gets into the comparative anatomy in detail. The steeply sloped forehead without compensating brow ridges. The brain case that extends back behind the ears in a way no typical Homo sapiens skull extends. The ears themselves, sitting noticeably below the line between the pupils and rotated backward by roughly twenty-two degrees. The completely missing chin, the absence of the bony mentum projection, a feature that lines up cleanly with what we know about Neanderthal jaw structure.The short compressed neck that mirrors Neanderthal cervical vertebrae. Norman ran comparative tracings against a Colville Indian contemporary and an Alaskan Native control, scaled to the same dimensions, and Patrick falls outside the human range on virtually every measurement that matters.We get into the strangeness of Patrick the man. The farmhand Louie, who worked for him through the late nineteen twenties, described him as a quiet gentle boss who was nearly impossible to play cards against because he always knew what everybody else was holding. We get into his eight children, including the three surviving daughters Mary Louise, Madeline, and Stella, and the inheritance that shows up in their faces and bodies in varying degrees.We get into Patrick's slow decline through the nineteen twenties and thirties, the loss of the ranch, the bootlegging arrests, the hops-picking years, and the death in a Seattle morning in nineteen sixty-two on the same day Norman himself first arrived in the United States as a small child.And we get to the bottom line. Norman makes the case, plainly, that Patrick was real. That his father was not a human father. That the abduction described in the Sinixt family memory was a real event, with a real consequence, and that the consequence walked the earth for seventy years and left a paper trail any researcher with the time and the patience can now verify.Norman's view, which I share, is that if Patrick is real, then at least some of what we are seeing out there in the woods is biologically close enough to us to interbreed and produce viable offspring.The implications of that are not small.You can pick up Norman's book at beforepatty.com, or through Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle. Better yet, ask for it through your local independent bookseller or Barnes and Noble. Norman has volume two on the way, making the broader evolutionary case for Sasquatch, with volume three to follow on what he calls the weird stuff.

The band performs an energized, evocative take of Mariam's “Vision Quest” from the eponymous 2016 LP that features Mariam's dancing marimba braided into a tapestry of grooving congas and minimalist piano. “There's A Fire Between The Realms Of Light” is a mysterious, swirling folk song led by Mariam's chiming mandolin and powerful, pagan forest lyric, a rich, epic piece that dances through three separate movements from major to minor like the passage of a summer day into dusk. The band presents a beautiful, emotional reading of Mariam's “Sail On” from her “Vision Quest” LP that Mariam leads with her nylon string guitar “Leonardo” and the ensemble next takes on Mariam's “All Life Unfolds”, re-imagined as a minor theme which yields a very different song indeed, from Craig's heartbeat Native drum to Bob's completely upended minor interpretations to Mariam's ad libbed poetry. “Aloha Hey” is a beautiful, bright Hawaiian tune by Mariam appropriately decorated with her delicate soprano ukulele and reggae-based accompaniment from the ensemble and we conclude today's session with “Let's Hold Steady”, a deeply felt song with a lovely vocal from Mariam and a bittersweet, evocative musical stage from the ensemble.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #669 is an hour of inspired, dynamic visionary acoustic improvised music featuring the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, double flute, harmonica, kalimba, acoustic guitar and ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas, djembe and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-May of 2026, today's show begins with the meditative, beautifully realized “In The Quiet Of The Forest”, an unusual, evocative piece featuring a top-notch vocal from Mariam. “Luminously Shining Bright” is a languid yet powerful minor folk ballad with beautiful chord changes and another inspired vocal and “Oh Golden Light” is a rich, harmonically lush song, weaving Mariam's precise, soaring vocal with tight, swinging congas, imaginative, ambitious piano and tight, lustrous ukulele work and featuring a fantastical flute coda. “This Is The Way” is a fine, expanded take on the track from Mariam's “Release” LP built on a rock-solid foundation of throbbing, dramatic Native drum from Craig. “Hold To Your Essence” is a fascinating piece featuring Mariam's kalimba as the defining instrument around which Bob constructs a rich, complex harmonic framework which, along with Craig's metronomic congas, support Mariam's inspired, spacious vocal and Native flute dialogues. “Spiraling Portal” is a mystical, goosebump-inducing eldritch forest song featuring Mariam's timeless, chiming mandolin, tiptoe-ing, darkling piano and earthy, pulsating congas and “Turn And Face The Wind” grows slowly and patiently from the embers of “Portal” into a lush, shifting, psychedelic, sonically enormous tapestry into which each member of the ensemble interject languid melodic phrases and fade back into the cloth of the piece in turn. We close today's show with the beautifully played blues “Oh, Let's All Be Grateful” featuring earthy Native drum, a fine vocal and harmonica conversation from Mariam and inspired fat-fingered piano from Bob.

In this episode, Brian sits down with author and researcher Norman Solie for the first half of their conversation, focused entirely on the encounters and experiences that pulled Norman into the world of Sasquatch research.Norman traces his fascination back to childhood, when he first saw the Patterson-Gimlin film while growing up in Washington. That early impression stayed with him, but it was a solo backpacking trip in 1980 to a remote lake in the Cascade Mountains that would leave him with questions he could not easily dismiss.During that trip, Norman heard a chilling wail in the night, discovered a large muddy footprint near his tent, and was overcome by an urgent, unexplainable feeling that he needed to leave immediately. As he made his way out, the sound of breaking branches behind him only deepened the mystery.After stepping away from the subject in the mid-1980s, Norman's interest was reignited years later during a 2006 retreat in Illinois, where he witnessed a small, black, fuzzy-edged figure watching people from a distance.What first seemed strange and difficult to explain would later lead him to consider the possibility that he had seen a juvenile Sasquatch.Norman also shares a series of unusual experiences from Alaska and Massachusetts, including the feeling of being watched, possible structures, tracks, scat, tree breaks, strange vocalizations, possible eye shine, and unexplained knocks both near his home and along trails around his remote cabin. This is Part 1 of Brian's conversation with Norman Solie, centered on Norman's personal encounters and field experiences. Part 2 airs this Sunday and will focus on Norman's book, Before Patty Volume One: Patrick The Sasquatch/Human Hybrid & Our Genetic Inheritance.

DOCKET ALERTS:Joe Dye begins a series on the second phase of the redistricting wars at his Substack. Multiple states are threatening to tax payouts from Trump's slush fund at 100 percent. The Trump Administration is suing Massachusetts for failing to give “confidential,” hard to trace license plates to ICE and CBP.A panel of federal judges in Alabama once again rejected the state's congressional map as an illegal racial gerrymander. The state has appealed to SCOTUS.Don Lemon moved to unseal the grand jury transcript in the Cities Church protest prosecution. He cited the recently unsealed magistrate's docket, showing the government's wild overreach — not to mention incompetence — in its warrant applications, along with the many cases where courts have said the DOJ is currently lawless and entitled to no presumption of regularity.The New York Times had a wild story this week about the Justice Department's total loss of credibility with grand juries, including in Wyoming, where the US Attorney's total violation of grand jury rules led to the dismissal of nine indictments.MAIN SHOW:The US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois is reportedly investigating E. Jean Carroll for perjury. In a deposition in 2022, Carroll misspoke and said that her litigation was not being funded by anyone else. She later corrected the record to say that some of her fees were being paid by a nonprofit associated with LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman. The government is trying to do to that nonprofit what it's done to the Southern Poverty Law Center, alleging that it somehow conspired to hide its activities by getting Carroll to lie under oath.Meanwhile, the SPLC is moving to dismiss its case based on vindictive prosecution. Luckily it has eleventy-seven clips of Trump officials declaring that they're on a revenge mission to take out the civil rights organization.In non-political news, a drag queen named Pattie Gonia is in a trademark dispute with the brand Patagonia.

In the autumn of 1939, the isolated fishing town of Provincetown, Massachusetts, became gripped by terror. Children and adults alike reported encounters with a towering figure cloaked in black, wearing a metallic mask with glowing blue eyes and laughing with a deep, gurgling sound before vanishing into the dunes with impossible speed. They called it the Black Flash. But the deeper investigators looked, the stranger the story became. Wartime paranoia, serial arson, sea monster hysteria, and a frightened coastal community all collided to create one of New England's most bizarre forgotten legends. And decades later, a deathbed confession would finally reveal the shocking truth hiding behind the mask. Tonight, we uncover the true story of the Black Flash and find out what exactly this has to do with New Jersey.   YouTube -  https://www.youtube.com/@HauntedAmericanHistory   TikTok - @hah_podcast       hauntedamericanhistory.com       Patreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠       LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGH       Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334       AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68S       EbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1       KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_   SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316       !!

Today we are joined by Travis J. I. Corcoran to talk about what it really takes to build a life, a homestead, or even a full settlement when there is no big system coming to save you. This is about food, repair, local production, trade, family, community and the real limits that show up when theory runs face first into reality. Travis and his wife walked away from lucrative tech careers in Massachusetts and built a more self reliant life in New Hampshire. That experience led him to write Escape the City, a practical homesteading guide based on what actually … Continue reading →
