The Mississippi River has provided water, food, transportation and a place of connection for generations of Minnesotans. But its history is also marked by displacement, environmental damage and decisions that have often prioritized industry and commerce over communities and the health of the river.A new documentary, “We Are the River: How the Mississippi Shaped Minnesota,” explores the complicated history of the river and the people who have lived alongside it. Coming up at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks with her guests about what that history can teach us about caring for the Mississippi today and in the future.Guests:Kate Beane is Flandreau Santee Sioux Dakota and Muscogee Creek. She is the executive director of the Minnesota Museum of American Art, has taught at the University of Minnesota and Minneapolis College and serves on the board of Wakan Tipi Awanyankapi, a nonprofit that oversees two Dakota sacred sites in St. Paul. Devin Ashley Brown is the founder of Sovereign Waters, a Minneapolis-based organization that creates culturally responsive pathways to water confidence, environmental connection and outdoor leadership. She works to dismantle barriers that have excluded historically underserved communities from outdoor recreation. She also attempted to be the first Black woman on record to solo the Mississippi River before flood waters ended her trip. John Anfinson is a Mississippi River historian, author and former Superintendent of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. He previously worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is the part-time river historian at the University of Minnesota's St. Anthony Falls Laboratory. He is also a founding board member of Friends of the Mississippi River and is active in many other river-related organizations and initiatives.
Momo: The Forgotten Bigfoot That Terrorized MissouriIn the summer of 1972, three children in the quiet river town of Louisiana, Missouri, reported seeing a massive, dark-haired creature near their home. Standing approximately seven feet tall, with a pumpkin-shaped head and glowing orange eyes, the mysterious figure appeared to be carrying the body of a dead dog beneath its arm.Their terrifying encounter was followed by reports of unexplained screams, strange footprints, frightened animals and a powerful odor of decay. As fear spread throughout the community, armed residents entered the woods and a 20-person search party was organized to hunt what soon became known as Momo—the Missouri Monster.Was Momo simply a black bear mistaken for something monstrous? Was the town caught up in mass hysteria? Or did an unknown Bigfoot-like creature briefly emerge from the forests along the Mississippi River?Join Tony Sweet for this chilling solo episode of Truth Be Told as he investigates one of the most overlooked Bigfoot encounters in American history.Subscribe to Truth Be Told and follow us on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube at @TheClubParanormal.#TruthBeTold #TonySweet #Momo #MissouriMonster #Bigfoot #Sasquatch #Cryptid #Cryptozoology #BigfootEncounter #BigfootSightings #Unexplained #ParanormalPodcast #MissouriMystery #MonsterStories #UrbanLegends #AmericanFolklore #ClubParanormalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-with-tony-sweet-paranormal-ufos-unexplained-mysteries--3589860/support.

(Courtesy Kenai Silver Salmon Derby) Kenai, Alaska's annual Silver Salmon Derby will not return this year in response to poor silver salmon runs in the Kenai River. The Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center, which hosts the competition each year, announced the decision Thursday, as Ashlyn O’Hara reports. This year's derby was scheduled to happen the second week of September. The annual event is billed as the world's most responsible fishing tournament. That is because it awards prizes based on a fish weight that is closest to a random number instead of awarding the biggest fish caught, which organizers say can incentivize harmful catch-and-release strategies. In the chamber's announcement, executive director Samantha Springer said the decision to cancel the derby was difficult, but aligns with the competition's commitment to responsible fishing. The announcement came the same day the Alaska Department of Fish and Game extended limits on the Kenai River silver salmon sport fishery. Traditionally, the fishery bag limit increases from two large fish to three large fish on September 1. The department is keeping the limit to two fish through the end of November. Like the derby, the department says its decision is due to a below-average silver run. The state says that indicates weak returns to Cook Inlet. Patrick Fowler is a fisheries management coordinator for the state. He says the department does not count the Kenai River's coho run the same way it counts other salmon species, like king and sockeye. Instead, Fowler says they use several data points to determine when a run may be lower than usual. Fowler says the combination of data points suggest this year's silver salmon run is stronger than in 2024, but weaker than last year. In the press release, the chamber says it will consider hosting the 2027 derby earlier in the year. Thursday's announcement comes on the heels of a lackluster sockeye season in the Kenai River, and as the river's king fishery remains closed outright due to poor runs. On August 10, the last day the state counted fish for Kenai River late-run sockeye, a little over a million fish had been counted. That is lower than the cumulative counts for each of the last four years, and about a quarter of how many were counted during last year's record season. Courtesy NCAI The National Congress of American Indians is bringing Tribal leaders together to identify priorities for an upcoming federal consultation on violence against women. NCAI's Violence Against Women Task Force will host two pre-consultation meetings for Tribal leaders and organizations. The meetings will help participants develop talking points and strategies ahead of the U.S. Department of Justice's annual government-to-government consultation with Tribal Nations. That consultation is led by the Office on Violence Against Women and provides Tribal leaders an opportunity to raise concerns and priorities directly with federal officials. NCAI will hold one of its preparatory meetings virtually and another in person at the Tulalip Resort in Washington state. The organization says both will focus on issues Tribal leaders want addressed during the federal consultation.

(Photo: Skye Marthaler / Wikimedia) And on this day in 1830, Chickasaw leaders signed the Treaty of Franklin with the United States in Tennessee. The agreement called for the Chickasaw Nation to give up its remaining homelands east of the Mississippi River in exchange for suitable territory west of Arkansas, but the agreement allowed Chickasaw representatives to inspect the proposed western lands before relocation. They ultimately determined the land was unsuitable. The treaty was never ratified and became void, but negotiations over Chickasaw lands continued as the United States pursued its policy of removing Native nations from the Southeast.

Jeff Foiles has walked through nearly every chapter the waterfowl world offers--from growing up hunting the Mississippi River back in the good ol' days and building one of the most recognized brand names in waterfowl calls, to a federal wildlife case that cost him his freedom and forever changed his life. We talk about the rise of Foiles Migrators, the decline of waterfowl in his neck of the woods, hard lessons learned along the way, what it means to move forward and what that daily walk really looks like. Recently inducted into the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame, Foiles reflects on a long, complicated life in the waterfowling industry--and why he believed America is still a country of second chances.

Louisiana's coastline is constantly changing, and one of the newest examples is Neptune Pass, a naturally forming channel in the lower Mississippi River that's rapidly building new land in Plaquemines Parish. Recently, a dozen teachers from across the state got the chance to see that transformation firsthand during a two-day professional development workshop organized by the Mississippi River Delta Transition Initiative, known as MissDelta, and Louisiana Sea Grant.Domonique Garello, Assistant Professor at LSU's Department of Geoscience, and Mariam Afuwape, Chemistry PhD student at LSU, spoke with WWNO's Sara Henegan for more.The Texas coast collects roughly 10 times more plastic debris than any other Gulf state, much of it spilling from the massive petrochemical complex that lines its shores.

(Gabby Salgado / KYUK) The State of Alaska is working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other agencies to collect what are known as Right of Entry forms from households impacted by ex-Typhoon Halong, as KYUK's Evan Erickson reports. The form is required for getting certain types of assistance with winterization and debris removal. It allows authorized recovery agencies to enter properties to inspect, document, and complete recovery work. Completing the form does not guarantee that work will be performed. The form is for households both that may need or have already received assistance in the forms of emergency winterization of storm-damaged homes; temporary weatherproofing or securing openings; moisture control or minor temporary repairs; limited heat or fuel-related stabilization; and/or certain types of private property debris removal. Gallup Indian Medical Center. (Courtesy Gallup Indian Medical Center / Facebook) The Navajo Area Indian Health Services and the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) have signed a memorandum of agreement to support rural health initiatives through data sharing. KUNM's Jeanette DeDios (Jicarilla Apache and Diné) has more. Dr. Laura Parajón, director of the Center for Health Protection at NMDOH, says the coordination between the state and the Navajo Nation is crucial. “It’s important that Navajo Nation has the same access to high-quality data that we do, that they get similar data that allows Navajo Nation themselves to conduct their own analysis, and that they can design their own culturally meaningful public health interventions for themselves.” The agreement is a first step in partnership between state and tribal public health departments to make sharing information easier and filling gaps in data. It will help better identify unmet needs, coordinate care, and monitor outcomes. NMDOH Tribal liaison Janet Johnson (Santa Clara Pueblo) says tribal leaders need to be able to access data instantly, such as a system used to track sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. “And that will help Navajo Area Indian Health Service support their public health surveillance, and give them again that real-time access to see where these outbreaks are occurring, what they need to do and again with our support to be able to better address any issues and concerns that are affecting their populations.” The current agreement does not include any state appropriations.

Katie Hobbs, and Hopi Chairman Lamar Keevama sign a memorandum of understanding for coal-impacted communities at the Desert Botanical Garden on August 11, 2026. (Photo: Connor Greenwall) Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) announced an economic agreement Tuesday with northern Arizona tribal leaders. It is meant to bolster the Four Corners region – at a time when the coal industry is in decline. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. The Memorandum of Understanding is between the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, and the state – all of which are vulnerable to coal mines and power plants shutting down. That includes the Four Corners plant, which could close by 2031. The Navajo-owned company that fuels the aging facility recently announced plans to extend the life of a massive coal mine by more than a century, but with coal giving way to cleaner, more efficient fuels, state, and tribal leaders are coming together to ink a five-year commitment to track closures and promote the wellbeing of coal miners.

On this day in 1803, the Kaskaskia Tribe signed a treaty with the United States at Vincennes in the Indiana Territory. Under the agreement, the Kaskaskia ceded most of their lands in what is now Illinois to the U.S. The treaty provided the tribe with reserved lands, annual payments, and other assistance. The agreement was negotiated for the United States by territorial governor William Henry Harrison, who later became president. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

The team discussed upcoming plans for their 300th episode, including potentially featuring archived content and a special edition if listeners suggest ideas. Keith shared updates about resolving RSS issues and his upcoming dental surgery, which will require removing eight teeth and potentially getting a partial denture. News of the Week The group shared news stories, including research on giraffes’ mathematical abilities, a goose alerting a family to a barn fire, and current fashion trends. The unusual news continued with an ongoing investigation into a mysterious local odor and the box-office success of the new Spider-Man movie. Jill shared a story about soccer player Hamed Ali, who set a world record by kicking a ball into a basketball hoop from 39.27 feet. Inspired by Chicago’s successful Special Olympics event that raises over $480,000 annually, Keith proposed organizing a similar rubber duck race fundraiser along the Mississippi River for MCAB. Terry concluded the segment with a story about Turbo, a 50-year-old tortoise rescued from train tracks in England following a 10-minute track shutdown. Jill's Trivia Quiz Jill hosted a trivia quiz about the TV show “I Dream of Jeannie,” testing Keith and Terry’s knowledge of the series. They tackled questions about the cast—including Larry Hagman as Tony Nelson and Barbara Eden as Jeannie—along with guest appearances by stars like Milton Berle and Sammy Davis Jr. The quiz proved challenging when it came to lesser-known characters and guest stars, proving that even familiar shows hold surprising details. Terry's Top 10 List Terry presented a top 10 list of humorous aspects of dating a blind person, touching on surprise fashion choices, becoming a designated storyteller, and unexpected room rearrangements. Anchor Topic Keith reviewed a newly delivered digital projector, expressing disappointment over its lack of accessibility features. Although he noted its solid technical performance, its heavy reliance on visual coordination and lack of wireless connectivity made it nearly impossible for him to use. Because of these accessibility barriers, Keith gave it a low rating and mentioned he may gift it to someone who can utilize it. Email and Final Thoughts Keith shared an email from an old Marine Corps buddy regarding a wardrobe malfunction, followed by a listener email about a debate over when life begins overheard at a barbershop. A voicemail submission presented a unique dilemma involving a man who needed one more child to win a radio contest. Finally, the hosts discussed a voicemail regarding a workplace pay dispute that escalated to theft; Keith expressed sympathy for the employee’s situation while maintaining that illegal action wasn’t the right solution. The Final Word From Our AI Companion This transcript captures an episode of a comedy podcast featuring hosts Keith, Jill, and Terry as they share lighthearted stories, personal updates, and clever visual humor. The episode wrapped up with the hosts signing off and providing contact information for future listener submissions. Show notes written by AI, edited is needed by Keith.

We bring back my brother Dean on this episode, to talk about how we often let our fears overrun our lives, and how to get beyond them. Dean is not just one of my favorite humans on the planet, he's also a clinical psychologist, author of a number of books on the Mississippi River, and a world traveler. His newest book, “Better Safe than Sorry: Slow Boats, Chicken Buses, and the Radical Choice to Trust the World” is coming out in late August.For people who care about their communities and often wrestle with the fear of change, understanding what drives us and the psychology behind fear is essential. But even more so, we must understand how we can take steps to help people overcome those fears. Dean's latest book is a study in how someone can gradually, incrementally overcome deep-seated worries or fears. He writes about how difficult it was for him to take risks as a young adult, and how over time that gave way. More importantly, he shares examples of how leaning into discomfort can frequently result in some of the greatest joys of life.I often ask when it comes to change in cities, “what are we really afraid of?” And I'm not trying to be dismissive - some change really can be for the worse. American cities have seen a lot of that in the 20th century, especially with massive urban renewal efforts. But it's also true that most of our fears are unfounded, or rooted in something deeper. We like change, but we don't like change. Or, we want a certain kind of change. And yet, our messy lives change whether we want them to or not. Dean's book and our conversation tries to help people to not let fear rule your life, so that you might truly enjoy it.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

Devin Brown is a Minneapolis-based paddler and founder of Sovereign Waters, an emerging organisation focused on connection, access, and purpose through time spent on the water. In 2024, Devin set out on an ambitious source-to-sea journey along the Mississippi River, paddling 1,025 miles before high water forced an early end to the expedition. What remained was not failure, but a powerful experience of resilience, learning, and deep connection to the river and herself. Her journey into paddling began long before that expedition, rooted in childhood summer camps, early experiences on the water, and a growing understanding of how time in nature supports her mental health. Over the years, she developed her skills step by step, eventually building the confidence to attempt one of North America's great river journeys. In this episode, Devin shares the realities of endurance paddling, from long days in the rain and logistical challenges on the Mississippi to moments of fear, uncertainty, and unexpected support from "river angels" along the way. She also opens up about feeling like one of the only women on the water, and why creating more inclusive access to paddling has become central to her mission. We explore the founding of Sovereign Waters, her vision for helping more people connect with rivers in ways that feel safe and empowering, and why building community around water is essential for both wellbeing and environmental connection. Listen to this episode to hear what it really takes to learn endurance one stroke at a time, why connection to rivers can be life-changing, and how one woman is working to bring more people—especially women—into the world of paddling and wild water. *** New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)!

It's been about a week since the city of St. Paul cleared a homeless encampment at Pig's Eye Park near the Mississippi River. An estimated one to two hundred people were living there. Now that it's closed, many former residents are now staying in another encampment a few miles upriver. The city has said it also plans to clear that encampment, plus one other in St. Paul, in the coming months. It hasn't set a timeline for those closures. A spokesperson said the city is doing an after-action review of the first one and considering its next steps. Nurse practitioner Kat Donnelly is trying to stay connected with patients who have been staying in encampments in St. Paul. She joined MPR News host Nina Moini to share perspective on the situation.
On September 10, 1910, Thomas Scott Baldwin flew over St. Louis, thrilling 200,000 onlookers along the Mississippi River. That moment of early flight — and many others — is at the heart of Edward McPherson's 2025 book, “Look Out: The Delight and Danger of Taking the Long View.” The Washington University professor writes about aerial photography, long-distance mapping and how seeing from above shapes power, privilege and perspective. In this encore presentation, we talk with McPherson about the book that's rooted in St. Louis and relays stories about the Mississippian people in present-day Collinsville and the aerial surveillance of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

The fish have been found between St. Charles County and Hannibal.
On the night of October 11, 1973, two shipyard workers drove into the Jackson County Sheriff's Office in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and told a story that neither of them expected anybody to believe. Charles Hickson spelled his name into a tape recorder and said that even if they laughed him out of the county he was going to tell it anyway.Then he described a blue light coming down over the bayou, three figures floating out of an opening, and something that looked like a big eye moving over his body while he lay immobilized inside a machine. Calvin Parker, the younger of the two, said almost nothing about the inside of it, because by his own account he passed out at the beginning and didn't come around until it was over.What makes Pascagoula different from almost every case like it is what the sheriff did next.Fred Diamond and Captain Glenn Ryder finished the interview around 11 p.m., walked out, and left the two men alone in a room with the recorder still running, expecting to catch a hoax. What they caught instead was a 42-year-old man trying to talk a terrified teenager down, and then, after Hickson stepped out for coffee, a young man from Jones County praying out loud to a machine he didn't know was there.This episode is the Mississippi stop on the Backwoods Cryptid Road Trip, and it goes in deep. I work the case from the primary recording rather than the retellings, which means you get Hickson's actual answers to the deputies, including all the places he told them he didn't know.I lay out the geography of the Pascagoula River, the Singing River legend and why I don't trust the version that got printed for a century, and the Phantom Barber summer of 1942, because this is not a town with no history of strange. I walk through the 1973 flap that was already in the local paper four days before any of this happened, including the service station operator who called in a light around 8 p.m., roughly two hours before Hickson ever knocked on a newspaper door.I also deal with the part a lot of tellings skip, which is what Charles Hickson did with the next 20 years of his life, the ongoing contact claims, the television circuit that started with Dick Cavett on November 2, and the arrest in January 1974, and why none of that gets to reach backward and rewrite what's on that tape.There's a witness who waited 45 years and came forward in 2019, eight years after the man who spent his life asking for her had already died. And there's a historical marker, unveiled June 22, 2019, standing today at the spot where Hickson was certain he'd be run out of town. The back half of the show goes into the woods, because that's the other reason we came.I get into the Choctaw material collected by Henry Halbert in the 1800s, David Bushnell in 1910, and John Swanton after him, including Shampe and Nalusa Falaya, and I'm careful about what that material does and doesn't prove. Then I go county by county through Mississippi's actual documented Sasquatch record, including a very close encounter in the Homochitto National Forest on November 28 of either 1978 or 1979, with 14-inch three-toed tracks and corroborating witnesses, and a report from the Stennis Space Center buffer zone in Hancock County from January 18, 2025.We finish with listener accounts out of the DeSoto, the Delta, the Pearl River, the Tombigbee, and Noxubee.No body, no bone, no photograph worth arguing about. But there's a tape sitting in a county file that anybody can listen to, and I still can't tell you what came down over that bayou.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteHave you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

EPISODE 748 - Chris A Underwood - The Cold Winter Grid-Down Book Series - Hidden Secrets in the Walls Author Chris A Underwood invites listeners into the real-world setting behind his Cold Winter series, beginning in the small village of Galena just north of Columbus, Ohio. In this conversation, he describes living in and restoring his historic 1850s home, once the town's telegraph and later telephone office, where walls stuffed with hidden whiskey and extract bottles hint at the secret lives of past occupants. That same house, town square, and sense of buried history become the spine of his fictional world when a devastating winter power-grid failure throws Ohio into crisis.Chris traces his lifelong pull toward storytelling, from a third-grade construction-paper book to creative writing classes and an English minor, even as he pursued business, accounting, and computer science to provide for his family. Years later, an interest in “prepping” rekindled his writing, as he asked what ordinary people would do on day one, day two, and beyond after a major event. Those questions evolved into a survival narrative grounded in his own home, his town, and the very real vulnerability of the power grid, inspired in part by the 2003 northeast blackout. He explains how building practical preparedness into his house and imagining life during a prolonged winter outage gave him a believable framework for his story.A big part of this episode explores how community and craft shaped his work. Chris shares how joining a local writing group transformed his early drafts; honest, sometimes painful critiques pushed him to abandon a confusing first-person approach and rewrite in third person, freeing the story to follow multiple characters and perspectives. He talks about “torturing” his main character, a computer programmer much like himself, and weaving in deeply personal elements, including a son on the autism spectrum who eventually becomes a key hero in book three. For Chris, flawed, everyday people who make mistakes but keep trying are more compelling than perfect saviors.The conversation also highlights how his research happens on the ground, not just online. To authentically portray helicopters, militias, and river battles, Chris embedded himself with the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation, volunteering at air shows, riding in Huey and Cobra helicopters, and channeling those sensations straight onto the page. He recounts a three-week tour on military bases, where he met new recruits, seasoned officers, and even fellow volunteers from his helicopter group, often giving readers their first signed book and seeing his series become part of their downtime between assignments.His commitment to living the story extends to historic ships and river locks. Chris spent a month aboard the World War II landing ship LST-325 as it traveled the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, selling books, working in the wheelhouse, sleeping in bunks, and donating thousands of dollars back to the ship's preservation. He has also shadowed lock workers on the river to capture the feel of barge traffic and infrastructure under strain, later staging key battles in those spaces on the page. Partnerships with museums and naval sites, including a destroyer in Buffalo, have given him insider tours and technical feedback, ensuring his fictional use of real vessels remains accurate while still imaginative.Throughout the episode, Chris returns to a core theme: using story to explore how ordinary people respond when systems fail, and how community, moral compass, and determination matter as much as gear and tactics. Whether through a young Catholic priest serving as ethical anchor, neighbors opening their doors to stranded travelers, or volunteers keeping aging helicopters and ships alive, his books focus on people choosing to help, even when it is dangerous or inconvenient. He hints at future directions for the Cold Winter universe, including a potential fifth book that would tackle the messy realities of recovery after the grid comes back and society attempts to rebuild.Key takeaway: This episode shows how deeply lived experience, disciplined feedback, and real-world immersion can turn a “what if” scenario into a rich, human survival saga. Listeners come away with a sense that great fiction can grow directly out of ordinary life, historic places, and a willingness to both receive tough critique and step into the environments you want to write about.https://authorchrisaunderwood.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
Thanks for listening to The Watershed, a podcast from We Are Water MN. In this episode, we're joined by eight Minnesotans who share a special connection to the Mississippi River: Tim Terrill, Darrin Hoverson, Heidi and Kadence Becker, Lori and Mike Becker, Devin Brown, and Tanáǧidaŋ Tó Wíŋ. 2026 marks 100 years of water quality testing on the Mississippi. Back in 1926, a study revealed severe pollution: only three fish were found in a 42-mile stretch of river between the Twin Cities and Hastings. The findings confirmed what residents already feared: the Mississippi was dead. But that study also sparked a century of collective action to restore and protect this vital waterway. This year, a growing movement in the Twin Cities called Sacred Water Shared Future is honoring that legacy. Through community gatherings, storytelling, education, and conservation, the campaign celebrates the river's central role in our region while acknowledging its deep history, sacredness, and resilience. The hope is simple and powerful: that 2026 inspires collaboration and shared action and helps set the stage for the next hundred years of healing for the river and all the life it supports. You can learn more about Sacred Water Shared Future at Sacred Water Shared Future, where you'll also find a full calendar of water‑focused events happening throughout the Twin Cities. The campaign is hosting opportunities for people to connect with the river in meaningful ways, from rafting trips and bike tours to seminars, workshops, concerts, logrolling, crating, and more. Each event offers a chance to celebrate the river, learn from it, and spend time with others who care about its future.

He's all three now. But it wasn't the ER that changed how he thinks about money. It was almost getting killed by an F350 in a grocery store parking lot, going home spooked, and realizing he had life insurance but not nearly enough.What Paul discovered after that near miss is the through-line of this entire conversation. He watched colleagues who had made serious money for years panic when COVID cut their shifts. Not one or two of them. A lot of them. Physicians pulling $20,000 a month who could not absorb losing five shifts for a single month. As Hans puts it, a teacher making $50,000 with a savings habit might weather that better than a doctor making a couple million a year. The problem was never income. It was that nobody, in 18-plus years of the most rigorous education in the country, ever taught them what to do with it.Chapters:00:00 – Opening Segment 06:50 – Twenty-five years in: old, tired, or afraid 07:40 – The grocery store near miss that started everything 09:00 – Buying the first permanent policy and abusing it 10:25 – Building an ER group 16:50 – How ER billing actually works 18:40 – What's broken in healthcare, from an outsider's seat 24:45 – A physician's honest reckoning with COVID 30:40 – The credibility medicine lost and can't get back 41:35 – The doctors who couldn't afford to lose five shifts 49:35 – Max the 401(k) for thirty years, then what? 52:45 – Liquidity as the single greatest portfolio decision 55:10 – Sequence of returns and the average rate of return lie 57:45 – What ultra high net worth families actually buy 01:00:35 – Bonds, volatility, and the product advisors won't look at 01:03:10 – Cutting off the compounding curve right when it gets good 01:16:15 – Bastardized cancellation data 01:26:35 – Why Paul's policy is death benefit heavy 01:31:05 – The Mississippi River theory of money 01:34:30 – The colleague who lost her husband in two months 01:37:25 – "Don't ever leave your family without insurance"Key Takeaways:High income is not the same thing as financial stability. ER physicians earning $300 an hour called Paul looking for work when their hospitals cut five shifts. These were successful doctors, some of them former partners whose payouts he knew personally. They could not take a one-month cash flow hit. The treadmill runs at whatever speed your lifestyle sets, and a high salary just means the belt moves faster.Physicians stopped behaving like scientists. The willingness to change your mind when the data changes is the entire job description of a professional. Liquidity is the single highest-leverage decision in a portfolio. You cannot buy the dip without cash. When the market hemorrhages, the reason people freak out is that they've lost money and have nothing left to deploy at the bottom. Whole life lets your risk assets stay risk assets. The conventional move is to ratchet a 55-year-old down from equities into bonds, which have their own volatility and lose money roughly every six years. A fiduciary title is not a knowledge credential. There are bad doctors, bad pilots, and bad fiduciaries. If an advisor can't explain a policy loan, the fiduciary designation hasn't done anything for the client.
From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art.Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Wheel Appeal Lorrie Kummeth of Maple Grove has been attending the Minnesota Pottery Festival in Hutchinson for the last five years and says it's always a fun event. The festival runs Saturday, July 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, July 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Masonic West River Park in Hutchinson. She notes the area is flat and accessible with easy parking. Artists will be selling pottery at a range of price points. Kummeth also recommends watching the demonstrations: "They do pottery throwdowns: Four or five potters up on their wheels, and they have to produce a specific item or a quantity of items,” said Kummeth. “I know this year there are also a couple of raku demonstrations. They're very dramatic. [The pottery] actually is put into fire, and that is part of what creates the colorations, like iridescent blues, blacks, burgundies. The potter doesn't know what the final glazing will look like until it's done firing." Hotdish and Hijinks Twin Cities actress and singer Jen Maren suggests seeing "A Second Helping: A Church Basement Ladies Sequel." This musical comedy is the second of nine shows in the series, set in a rural Minnesota church basement in 1969. The show runs through Aug. 9 at the Plymouth Playhouse in Plymouth. Maren says to expect laughs, hotdish and dancing from veteran comedians Greta Grosch (who also wrote the show), Dorian Chalmers and Janet Paone: "These three women know these characters so well,” said Maren. “They're in their 21st year of running these shows, so it's a great chance to go see some great comedians at work." A Wider View of Winona Michael William Doyle is a poet, musician and historian living in Winona. He appreciates the way photographer Mary Farrell captures the landscapes and architecture of his beloved town in her exhibit, "Wide Angle Winona: A Panoramic View," on view at the Winona County History Center through Sept. 13. "Mary decided to try to show us the horizontality of our community with its tree-covered bluffs, and the islands, and the historic built environment: the last remaining boathouse community on the entire length of the Mississippi River; the Wagon Bridge where many of them are moored near Latsch Island; the port of Winona [and more]. Because she's lived here for so long, she knows exactly where to go at what time of day to capture the way the light falls on this distinctive area," said Doyle.
On Wednesday, the St. Paul city council will hold a public hearing on plans to clear homeless encampments starting in August. Mayor Kaohly Her recently announced her office is working with the county to close three encampments due to public health and safety concerns. The city says around 120 people are staying at the largest of these sites, which is in Pig's Eye Park near the Mississippi River. Advocates estimate there are 400 people between all three encampments. The city plans to close that encampment on Aug. 5. The council has received more than 100 written comments, mostly urging the city to halt its plans. Justin Lewandowski is among those asking for a pause. He's director of Open Hands Midway, which provides free meals, groceries and supplies to community members. He shared more about his concerns on Minnesota Now.

Until then, city and county staff will regularly visit the site to try to help the people living there find shelter, according to an announcement the city released Wednesday. The city plans to clear at least two other encampments using what they are calling a “coordinated transition process.” For details on these plans, MPR News host Nina Moini spoke with St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her on Minnesota Now.
In Shoe Workers in Hannibal, Missouri: The Rise and Fall of Manufacturing in America's Hometown, 1890–1970 (LSU Press, 2026), Dr. Gregg Andrews examines the history of factory laborers in a celebrated Mississippi River town. In the late 1890s, shoe manufacturing transformed Mark Twain's boyhood home from a steamboat village to a factory town. By the mid-1920s, the St. Louis–based International Shoe Company, the world's largest shoe manufacturer at the time, controlled all shoe production in Hannibal and continued to do so until it shut down production lines in the 1960s. The company kept a tight grip on the town as it battled to keep out unions and maintain labor at a low cost and in a malleable state. When Hannibal's shoe workers claimed their right to organize under the New Deal during the Great Depression, the shoe corporation was defiant. The company's stance sparked mob violence against outside union organizers, nurtured a company union, pitted unionists against company loyalists, and badly divided Hannibal. At the same time, the town was engaged in yearlong festivities to celebrate the centennial of Mark Twain's birth and the opening of a museum named in his honor. Dr. Andrews's study of shoe manufacturing and its production workers is thick in detail and rich with the human stories of those whose lives were shaped by the rise and fall of the shoe industry in Hannibal. Andrews captures the shoe workers—white and Black, men and women—in their own words as they describe their jobs, family struggles, and battles to unionize. Dr. Andrews examines the prevailing conditions that led the company to close its production facilities in Hannibal, leaving shoe workers and the town to confront the early shock waves of deindustrialization. His study of an industry that has virtually disappeared in the United States leaves a record for the families of thousands of American shoe workers and the citizens of Hannibal to better understand their history and the role shoe manufacturing played in it. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Matthew Hengst, aka Masochist, an IT-professional-turned-full-time-adventurer who over the past eight-plus years has racked up 20,000 miles hiked, nearly 3,000 miles paddled, 2.5 million feet of elevation climbed, and somewhere north of 300 diving sessions across multiple continents. Masochist walks us through canoeing 2,400 miles down the Mississippi, the time he fell 25 feet in a remote part of the Sierra and laid there for 15 hours waiting for a helicopter, catching COVID and norovirus back to back at 12,000 feet on the CDT, navigating stealth camping across rural America, terrifying encounters with dogs, and his favorite parts of the Eastern Continental Trail. Matthew also makes a strong case for why the Florida Trail and the Condor Trail are two of the most underrated long trails, and explains why he has no plans to stop adventuring anytime soon. We wrap the show with the devastating news that Timberline Lodge has ended its breakfast buffet, debating whether poop pees count as full pees, a sun hoodie review on a product that's maybe not a sun hoodie, the triple crown of words for penis (with Chaunce publicly soliciting micropenis photos), and the best way to move legos across the country.

Big cats used to roam the entire United States. You might know them as mountain lions, pumas, cougars, or catamounts. Though they go by many names, they're actually all the same species. Their current population is mostly confined to the West, and part of Florida, though in recent years they've been spotted in other areas east of the Mississippi River. Most cougars were gone from the Northeast by the 1800s, with the last verified accounts in the 1930s. Mountain lion ecologist Mark Elbroch hopes to reintroduce these big cats back into their previous habitats in New England. But, should we? What are the benefits and drawbacks of reintroducing the apex predator into an ecosystem it's been away from for so long? Guest: Dr. Mark Elbroch is the director of the puma program at Panthera, a big cat conservation organization.

The Mississippi River has always carried more than cargo. For generations, river workers reported a chilling sight emerging from the fog: coffins drifting silently downstream. The stories became part of Mississippi folklore, but the truth behind them may be even stranger. Floods regularly washed away riverside cemeteries, steamboat disasters scattered victims for miles, and entire communities were forced to recover the dead from the riverbanks. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Jethro explores the real history behind the legend of the Floating Coffins of the Mississippi and the deadly world of nineteenth-century steamboat travel. Then, Kat investigates some of the longest prison sentences ever handed down in modern history. From inmates who spent more than seventy years behind bars to criminals sentenced to thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—of years in prison, you'll learn why courts impose punishments that no human being could ever fully serve. The Mississippi River's floating coffins, steamboat disasters, prison sentences measured in centuries, bizarre nineteenth-century slang, and more weirdness from history await in this episode of The Box of Oddities. #BoxOfOddities #MississippiRiver #FloatingCoffins #SteamboatDisasters #RiverGhostStories #PrisonHistory #TrueCrimeHistory #WeirdHistory #AmericanFolklore #LongestPrisonSentences Learn more about your ad choices.
