The Devil Within - Season One In the bleak midwinter of 1988, the quiet town of Jefferson Township, New Jersey, was shaken to its core. A mother was found brutally murdered. Her teenage son vanished into the night. What unfolded in the hours and days that followed would horrify even the most seasoned investigators — and feed directly into the fever dream of the Satanic Panicsweeping across America. This was the case that introduced listeners to The Devil Within. It wasn't just a true crime story — it was the beginning of a descent into fear, paranoia, and the darker corners of human belief. Now, we're re-releasing The Jersey Devil with a twist. Host and writer Branden Morgan returns to the story with new commentary, reflecting on what it meant to tell this tale the first time, what he's uncovered since, and why the Sullivan case still lingers in the American imagination. This re-release also marks a milestone: the launch of the new MGM+ documentary series Let the Devil In, based on season one of The Devil Within. The four-part series — premiering August 31st — expands on the original story with exclusive interviews, never-before-seen evidence, and firsthand accounts from detectives, first responders, and those who lived through the nightmare. In This Episode     •    The brutal 1988 murder that shocked Jefferson Township.     •    How the case became entwined with the national hysteria of the Satanic Panic.     •    New behind-the-scenes reflections from Branden Morgan.     •    How this story connects to the upcoming MGM+ series Let the Devil In. Why Revisit This Story Now? Because some stories never truly leave us. They echo, they evolve, and sometimes, they return in ways we never expect. The Jersey Devil is not only a cornerstone of this podcast — it's the origin of a much larger journey that's about to play out on screen.

COURTESY BAS A live, off-air, half-hour recording of the BBC World Service special Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast on 21 June 2024 beginning at 21:30 UTC. The broadcast, hosted by Cerys Matthews, featured messages and music for the 47 members of the staff of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) overwintering in Antarctica at the Rothera (Antarctic Peninsula) and King Edward Point and Bird Island (South Georgia) research stations. In addition to personal messages from family and friends, there were interviews with Professor Dame Jane Francis, Director of BAS; Olivier Hubert, a former chef at Rothera and the Halley VI research station; and Nadine Frontier, a marine biologist at King Edward Point; and Allie Clement, an ocean scientist at Rothera. The transmitter came on the air with a test tone (1108 Hz plus harmonics) about a minute before the program started. As sometimes happens, the first few words of the introduction were missed.The recording is of the transmission on 11685 kHz from the BBC's Woofferton, England, transmitting station. The sender had a registered power of 300 kW with antenna beam 182 degrees. The transmission was received on a Belka-DX receiver with a Tecsun AN-03L 7-metre wire antenna outdoors in Hanwell (just outside Fredericton), New Brunswick, Canada, in pseudo-synchronous (AM2) mode with 50 Hz - 2.7 kHz bandwidth. Reception was quite good with little noise or fading and very good signal strength. The additional parallel frequencies of 9585 kHz from Woofferton and 9870 kHz from Ascension were heard but not as well as 11685 kHz. There was a break in transmission at about the 21-minute mark in the recording for approximately one minute. A studio quality, slightly longer, podcast version is available on the BBC World Service website.

Breeding waterfowl surveys do not predict mid-winter and migration surveys. Non-breeding season surveys have very specific objectives. They should not be compared to breeding waterfowl survey numbers. DrMike details why the USFWS breeding waterfowl and mid-winter surveys are Apples and Oranges…they are not comparable. DrMike goes off again! “I don't have ducks, but they predicted ducks”…TEARS. BooHoo……NOoooo, JUST, NO!. Nobody predicted ducks in front of your blind. Just get out and hunt ducks when the weather is right, just get out and hunt when The FowlWeather Podcast predicts fresh ducks.

Recorded live at the 2025 TASA Mid-Winter Conference in snowy Gatlinburg, this episode features candid conversations with four impactful guests who are shaping the future of EMS leadership. Outgoing TASA President Joyce Noles reflects on the importance of preparing the next generation by “growing your replacement,” encouraging transparency and mentorship across leadership roles. TEMSA President Shannon Morphis discusses the rising momentum among new EMS professionals and the power of shared leadership efforts to create lasting change. Brianna Browne—the only known survivor of a jump from the Natchez Trace Bridge—delivers a powerful message of resilience and mental health recovery, reminding providers that they may never know the true impact of their care. Rounding out the conversation, Metro Nashville EMS Deputy Director Fred Smith draws from decades of experience to stress the value of empowering others, stepping back, and leading with humility.This episode also includes a ServeStrong sponsorship message from the Corbin Scott-Goad Memorial Foundation and provides updates on the upcoming 2025 TEMSA Conference in Murfreesboro, including an all-new student and new provider leadership track. Listeners will gain insight into the cultural shift in EMS, the strength of statewide collaboration, and how personal stories and professional mentorship are reshaping the leadership landscape.· Joyce Noles – "Grow your replacement":Joyce highlights the generational shift in EMS leadership—emphasizing the need to equip and empower up-and-coming leaders rather than gatekeeping knowledge.· Shannon Morphis – "Momentum is real":Shannon describes the groundswell of engagement from newer providers and emphasizes leadership development as a team effort, not an individual spotlight.· Brianna Browne – "You never know the impact":Brianna's perspective as a survivor reminds providers of the emotional weight and unseen impact of their work, underscoring the value of connecting with patient outcomes.· Fred Smith – "Empowerment over ego":Fred shares powerful lessons from decades in EMS leadership, including the importance of stepping aside to let others lead and learning from both good and poor leadership examples.

Russ and Clint talk with Baron Grutter this week.  Baron is a dentist out of Michigan who while doing all things bread and butter loves technology and teaching.  He also recently created two one day online classes Blue Sky Bio.  One focuses on ortho and the other focuses on surgical guides.  Both classes can be found on this Blue Sky University which is also where Russell's class is found.  Baron's class is more polished than Russell's but that is just how Baron rolls.   In our podcast, we talk about Midwinter and Lab Day and how Lab Day is clearly superior to Midwinter.  We also talk about 3d printing and why so many more dentists are getting into the lab space and doing their own lab work.  Also we talk about why Baron is not going to be 3d printing aligners anytime soon. If you want to see when Baron is giving in person courses, go to https://www.barongrutterdds.com to learn more.  

Caroline is dealing with a dilemma so many sales professionals face this time of year: How do you shake off a mid-winter rut and regain your momentum when it's cold, dark, and everyone else seems to be dragging too? On this Ask Jeb episode, I offer practical, real-world strategies to help you thaw out from the winter freeze. Whether you're fighting the gloom of early sunsets, the aftereffects of holiday downtime, or the struggle to get your customers back in “buying mode,” these tips will help you power through and regain your momentum. Surround Yourself with Positive Inputs When you're in a mid-winter sales rut—especially in cold, gray weather—your environment can either lift you up or drag you down. The content you consume and the people you interact with have a direct impact on your attitude. Limit NegativitySkip cable news and doom scrolling. It's toxic and drains energy. Steer clear of co-workers who only want to complain. Instead, find colleagues or mentors who keep the conversation upbeat and productive. Engage in “Automobile University”Turn windshield time into learning time. Load up on podcasts, audiobooks, or uplifting content. If you're on the road for field sales, use that dead time to sharpen your skills or motivation. Pro Tip: Tune in to the Sales Gravy Podcast (yes, shameless plug!) or revisit classic audio programs by Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, or Jim Rohn for a quick confidence boost. Create a “Win” FileSave glowing emails, client testimonials, or kudos from your boss in one place. On days when you feel like a zero, open that folder and remember your wins. Believing in yourself often wavers most when external results are slow. A targeted self-esteem boost can snap you out of that funk. Read (or Listen) Your Way Out of the Slump When you can't rely on external circumstances (like sunny weather or a jam-packed pipeline) to motivate you, it's time to feed your mind intentionally. Pick Up a BookI once pulled myself out of a rut by alternating 10 minutes of prospecting with 10 minutes of reading No Bull Selling by Hank Trisler. That pattern helped him stay focused and eventually led him to top-performer status in his region. Audio AlliesIf reading a physical book doesn't fit your schedule, try audiobooks. Caroline mentioned she's listening to The AI Edge on Audible. Whether you dive into James Clear's Atomic Habits or any other self-improvement or sales guide, consistent listening can reset your mindset. Revisit (or Set) Your Goals and Business Plan Aimlessness often fuels a sales rut. Getting clear on why you're putting in the work refocuses your daily efforts. Craft a Personal Business PlanBreak your annual quota or goals into quarterly, monthly, and weekly targets. Then, identify the daily actions that lead to those targets. Write them down, review them often, and adjust as needed. Check In with Your Plan If you've already set goals: Take them out of the drawer and ask, “Am I doing what I said I would do each day?” If you haven't set goals yet: It's never too late to start. Use the lull to plan out the rest of your year. Try the “BTN” (Better Than Nothing) ApproachOn a recent Money Monday episode, we introduced the concept of doing something—even if it's small—to maintain momentum. One call, one follow-up, or one networking email is better than none at all. Doing a little bit every day builds massive momentum over time. Even if you're not closing big deals right now, small actions (e.g., 15 minutes of prospecting, 10 minutes of follow-ups) add up. “Eat the Frog” Early in the Day The Eat the Frog concept (mentioned in Fanatical Prospecting) is about tackling the hardest or most dreaded tasks first. If winter weather and post-holiday inertia already have you feeling sluggish, don't let procrastination compound the problem. Schedule Tough Calls in the MorningIf you tend to stall on prospecting, block out time when you're freshest. Once you conquer the hardest thing on your list,...

We've reached the point in winter where many of us are starting to feel like spring will never arrive. The cold and snow no longer feel festive and the gray sky is inviting even grayer moods. It can be tempting to hide under the covers until the first crocuses emerge from the ground. But before you resign yourself to weeks of suffering, consider the gifts that winter still has to offer. With a few intentional tweaks, you may be able to lift your spirits, increase your energy, and restore your body before the busyness of the warmer season takes hold. As we stroll through the winter woods, let the slowness of this season serve as a reminder that growth can only occur after periods of dormancy. This is your time to rest and replenish.What am I reading?Mind Your Body by Nicole Sachs The Lost Art of Doing Nothing: How the Dutch Unwind with Niksen by Maartje Willems and Lona Aalders (illustrator) What's playing on repeat?Let's Stay Together by Al GreenWhat's for dinner?Salmon ChowderIngredients:3 yellow potatoes or sweet potatoes  (diced)3-4 diced carrots1/2 red onion 1 jalapeño deseeded and minced 1 bell pepper 1 cup frozen corn Minced garlic (as much as you like!)1 can coconut milk 3 cups vegetable stock1 lb salmon fillet1 Tsp salt½ Tsp black pepper 2 Tsp lemon juiceGarnish with green onions Instructions:Peel and cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.

By mid-year, the spark of a new school year may feel distant, yet it's the perfect time to revisit the strength of connection and the power of community in sustaining educators through challenges.In the second episode of this three-part series, New Year's Energy for Midwinter Teaching, Arlène draws from her experience to explore how curating intentional supportive communities can rejuvenate and sustain both personal and professional growth.
