This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! It began with a dream—one of community, comfort, and a refuge nestled deep in the Ozarks of Missouri. But what was intended to be a place of peace and rest quickly unraveled into something far more sinister. Over the years, the property transformed from a hopeful development into a nursing facility with a dark reputation… and eventually a bed and breakfast that no one could bear to finish. Why did construction stop? Why did workers leave and never return? In this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we dive into the eerie history of this haunted Ozark Hotel with paranormal investigator Wesley Fox. From unexplained footsteps to tales of malevolent spirits, this building harbors secrets that refuse to remain buried. What went so wrong on this land—and is it still happening today? Tune in for a chilling look at a dream that turned into a nightmare. This is Part Two of our conversation.

Once a state hospital that operated for over a century, the Glore Psychiatric Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri, holds more than just a history of mental health treatment—it holds echoes of the past that still linger. Formerly known as State Lunatic Asylum #2, the facility treated thousands of patients beginning in 1874, including those suffering from mental illness and later, tuberculosis. But with a long history came controversy—stories of mistreatment, neglect, and death that left a lasting imprint. Today, the museum preserves the artifacts of that time, but visitors and staff report something else: shadow figures in doorways, voices calling from empty rooms, and a constant, uneasy feeling of being watched. Electronic voice phenomena capture chilling warnings, and some say the spirits followed the collection when it moved to its new location. Today on The Grave Talks - what remains both seen and unseen inside the Glore Psychiatric Museum, a conversation with curator Maxwell Morgan. This is Part Two of our conversation.

26-year-old Emory Futo Jr., his father's namesake, had a childhood that was anything but normal, but he was now a grown man determined to change for the better. To those on the outside, the Futos were settling into a picture-perfect life—a new stucco home on a quiet cul-de-sac in sunny California, a far cry from his upbringing in St. Louis, Missouri. Neighbors later told police the couple was quiet, well-liked, and unremarkable. And in 1990, Joshua arrived—their firstborn.  From the outside, it was the picture of the American dream but every family has secrets. And the Futo family had many.

Happy Spooky Wednesday, friends! We're covering one of Kala's favorite subjects this week: a spooky road! Kala is talking all about Zombie Road. This path in Wildwood, Missouri is renowned for its alleged paranormal activity and associated ghost stories. The trail, which was originally a road named Lawler Ford Road, is said to be haunted by various spectral figures, including Confederate soldiers, children, cranky old women, and industrial workers. Visitors have reported seeing ghostly apparitions, shadow figures, and hearing unexplained cries. If you visit it at night you're sure to be in for a spooky experience, and also possibly a trespassing ticket. Good luck!

Today we're wrapping up our eight-part series by exploring how labor and economic justice nonprofits can advance their missions through advocacy. We'll cover recent developments and examine both lobbying and non-lobbying strategies that advocates are using to improve economic justice for all.   Attorneys for this episode   Tim Mooney Susan Finkle Sourlis Sarah Efthymiou   Shownotes Current Events / Executive Orders ·      Trump Administration Directives Impacting Workers o   In March, President Trump issued an executive order exempting national security agencies from the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. The EO revokes collective bargaining rights for over a million federal workers, hindering their ability to organize and improve working conditions. o   In January 2025, an executive order paused the planned increase of the minimum wage for federal contract workers to $17/hour, reversing wage gains for thousands of low-wage employees. o   In March 2025, another executive order directed the Department of Labor to halt enforcement of protections against misclassification for independent contractors, adopting a worker-unfriendly test that limits employee eligibility for wage and hour protections. ·      Illegal ICE & DHS workplace raids: ICE, racing to fulfill the Trump Administration's goal to increase deportations, is increasingly targeting work sites for immigration sweeps in LA and other major cities. In addition to loss of essential income for workers who are afraid to show up for work, this escalation is a chilling effect on businesses and local communities. Non-lobbying Advocacy Advocacy can take many forms, and lobbying is just one form. Your organization can engage in non-lobbying activities like: Organizing, educating the public, conducting research, executive branch and regulatory activities, training and litigation are just a few examples.   ·      Educating the Public o   Nonprofits that support immigrant workers, such as The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), are sharing "know your rights” info, so workers are better prepared if stopped by immigration officials. Other groups provide information for employers, such as the National Employment Law Project's What to do if Immigration Comes to Your Workplace. ·      Identify & advocate to supportive government officials: o   Find your allies in government and encourage them to continue to defend their communities. Many nonprofits have lauded Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' and California Governor Gavin Newsom's public criticism of the federal government's actions in LA, describing the deployment of military forces to the city as an overreach and a violation of state sovereignty. ·      Holding a Rally o   In February, federal workers organized coordinated “Save Our Services Day of Action” events in multiple cities to build a broader network of support and to put pressure on the administration and Congress to block the illegal firing of fed workers ·      Litigation as Advocacy o   A multi-state coalition of nonprofits, unions, and local governments sued the Trump Administration over mass layoffs of federal workers without approval of Congress. Lobbying ·      Pro-Worker Legislation o   Nevada's state legislature is currently considering expanding their existing Paid Family & Medical Leave program beyond state employees ·      Ballot Initiatives Coming on the heels of several key wins in 2024 (Alaska, Missouri, and AZ), already seeing upcoming ballot measures o   A potential Ohio Nov 2025 ballot initiative to increase minimum wage to $15/hour; and Oklahoma qualified June 2026 ballot measure to increase the state's minimum wage to $15/hour Resources ·      Power & Equity: The Advocacy Playbook for Labor and Economic Justice ·      Practical Guidance: What your nonprofit needs to know about lobbying in your state ·      Investing in Change: A Funder's Guide to Supporting Advocacy ·      What is Advocacy? 2.0 ·      Seize the Initiative

In this episode, grazing expert and longtime SGF columnist Jim Gerrish shares decades of experience transforming worn-out cropland into productive pasture using adaptive grazing—not chemicals. The episode explores Jim's approach to pasture renovation, weed control, and animal performance, emphasizing observation, timing, and biological principles over conventional inputs. Jim discusses practical strategies for improving pasture health, including managing pH, building soil biology, and introducing species diversity. He also reflects on the importance of listening—to your animals, your forage, and your own common sense.

On November 4, 1980, 44-year-old Nancy Snow boarded a flight to Baltimore from St. Louis, Missouri, where she had spent several months working on Gene McNary's U.S. Senate campaign. That night she went to a party in Baltimore; the next morning she had breakfast with the party's host. Afterward, a man who was housesitting for Nancy apparently picked her up at a hotel, and they drove off together. Nancy Snow hasn't been seen or heard from since then, and her disappearance is one of the D.C. area's oldest unsolved cases. More than 44 years later, her three daughters are convinced they know who is responsible for Nancy's disappearance.  Dateline's Josh Mankiewicz talks with her daughters Justine, Kimberly and Stacy Snow, Corporal William Noel of the Annapolis Police Department, and retired detective David Cordle. If you have any information about the disappearance of Nancy Snow, please call the Annapolis Police Department at 410-268-9000 and ask for Corporal William Noel.

   It's always silly when somebody says something true and it creates a controversy.  Patrick Mahomes has belly fat.  He's also changed the way the game is played and is the greatest player of his generation.  Reaction to my buried in the back of the podcast comments Monday went viral after Mahomes' trainer came after me on social media.  He's the first trainer in history to argue that belly fat is a good thing and, like a great democrat politician, the fanatics actually believe him.  It's your option to find it charming and good... it's my job to point out the belly fat will be gone someday when Mahomes gets serious like other athletes in their 30's.     Kansas extended their STAR bond offer to the Royals and Chiefs and immediately Chiefs president Mark Donovan says it will take nearly a year to put something on the ballot for the team to stay in Missouri.  This is insane.    The Royals are rolling but it feels like too little too late.  A Pirates player in KC has an awesome list of no trade teams in his contract as he obviously hates income taxes.  Ron DeSantis has a better plan, a perfect plan, for Elon Musk.    Mayor Q takes a dip in a new pool with a shirt and tie on and I think it's a very cool thing for him to do.  Buc-ee's construction at the Speedway is delayed a couple months and Amazon Prime Day is now bigger than Black Friday.

President Trump's mass deportation efforts have led to the arrests of tens of thousands of immigrants, some of whom end up at the Phelps County Jail in Rolla, Missouri. Now some local activists are trying to provide comfort and assistance to detainees stuck in an unfamiliar place.

Marc returns from vacation with fire in his belly and sand in his shoes, diving straight into broken promises on the Epstein client list and calling out elite protection across political lines. Kim's personal story on how illegal immigration derailed her home sale hits hard, exposing federal failures hitting everyday Americans. Marc also torches the chaos in St. Louis on July 4th, the radical abortion rulings from activist judges in Missouri, and the DOJ's disturbing silence on lawlessness. From calling out Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino on their Epstein backpedaling, to the unfairness of a transgender cyclist dominating women's events, the crew doesn't hold back. Former Senator John Lamping joins to break down Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” Missouri's abortion fight, and the need for tougher ballot initiative rules. Plus, TSA ends the shoe rule, Florida's python hunting madness, and sports fans drowning in costs. Marc also spotlights school choice momentum, rips teacher unions, and makes bold 2024 predictions—including a JD Vance–Kristi Noem ticket. On 2A Tuesday, Mark Walters breaks down suppressor deregulation, Austria's gun grab, and why American gun owners must stay alert. Finally, Marc and Kim debate Tennessee's law to yank bully teens' driver's licenses—and whether it's time to bring back real discipline.

Marc returns from vacation with reflections, Ozzy Osbourne's final bow, and renewed outrage over the Epstein list—calling out broken promises from Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino. Kim and Ethan weigh in on the lack of accountability before pivoting to St. Louis' wild July 4th chaos and Trump's quiet legislative win. In a raw Kim on a Whim, Kim shares how illegal immigration personally wrecked her home sale — twice — exposing loopholes abused by investment firms and shielded by fair housing laws. The team then tackles Missouri's gutting of abortion safety standards by Judge Jerry Zhang and the latest federal move to protect Planned Parenthood — a warning shot to conservatives ahead of 2026.

Former Missouri State Senator John Lamping joined the Marc Cox Morning Show to unpack the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill," calling it the best Republicans could achieve under the current congressional makeup. Lamping explains how the bill could reduce the deficit — if economic growth hits 3% — and how Medicaid funding changes may soon squeeze Missouri's budget. He also weighs in on Missouri's abortion battleground, blasting the court ruling that temporarily reopens Planned Parenthood clinics and warning about the chaos of legislating by ballot initiative. Lamping supports outlawing abortion with a 50%+1 threshold and raising that threshold immediately afterward to prevent future progressive ballot victories. The segment offers a no-nonsense look at GOP strategy and what's next for Missouri.

Marc, Kim, and Ethan call out the left for politicizing the tragic Texas floods that killed over 100, slamming a fired Houston doctor and Rosie O'Donnell for exploiting MAGA voters. Pam Bondi's broken promises on the Epstein list resurface, while fireworks-fueled chaos in St. Louis highlights the city's lawless July 4th and Mayor Spencer's failed leadership. The crew also reacts to outrage over a transgender cyclist dominating a USA Cycling race in Wisconsin, playing protest audio from female competitors and torching the hypocrisy of silent feminist groups. Former Missouri State Senator John Lamping joins to explain the GOP's strategy behind the “Big Beautiful Bill,” Missouri's Medicaid future, and abortion ballot fights. In lighter news, “In Other News” covers wild Florida python hunting rules, TSA dropping the shoe rule, and a hilarious live moment when Marc's wife calls about her missing charger.

Marc returns from vacation fired up and focused—starting with the tragic Texas floods and slamming the left for politicizing the deaths of Christian campers. He praises FEMA's fast response and calls for unity amid disaster. As the hour rolls on, he dives into the school choice debate, praising Florida's voucher system while exposing the red tape and union blockades keeping Missouri families trapped in failing schools. In a patriotic second segment, Marc reflects on a powerful 4th of July moment in Myrtle Beach, taking aim at anti-American rhetoric and mocking Democrats floating Kamala or Pete for 2024. Then, on 2A Tuesday, Mark Walters joins to explain the messy status of suppressor and short-barreled rifle rules in the “Big Beautiful Bill.” They break down Austria's alarming gun grab after a mass shooting and why U.S. activists are watching—and plotting. Marc closes with Tennessee's bold anti-bullying law that could yank teen licenses for cyberbullying. Is it a smart move or government overreach? The team debates.

Title: How to Launch Therapy Intensives in Private Practice: An Interview with Steffeny Feld, LCSW Description:Curt and Katie chat with Steffeny Feld, LCSW, Therapist and Creator of the Intensive Design Lab, about how therapists can bring therapy intensives into private practice. We explore how therapy intensives differ from traditional therapy, how to structure and prepare for intensives, clinical considerations for both clients and clinicians, and why this model can be particularly supportive for highly sensitive or neurodivergent therapists. About Our Guest:Steffeny Feld is a Therapist, Copywriter, and the Creator of the Intensive Design Lab where she supports therapists of all backgrounds and modalities to launch therapy intensives in private practice. Steffeny believes that therapy intensives are powerful and transformative for clients and the clinicians who offer them. She supports therapists to bring intensives into their practice so that they can work less and earn more while helping clients heal. Steffeny lives in St Louis, Missouri with her partner and 4-year-old son, Felix. Key Takeaways: Therapy intensives offer a distinct therapy format, not just longer sessions. Therapists must assess client readiness and window of tolerance carefully. Intensives can support therapist sustainability, especially for highly sensitive and neurodivergent clinicians. Practical considerations include session structure, pacing, and client comfort. Therapy intensives provide an opportunity for deep clinical work and income diversification.

Missouri's parole system governs the lives of some 52,000 people, more than twice the number locked up in the state's prisons. But its rules haven't been updated since 2017, and those who work inside the system say the process is often confusing, complicated and broken. Under an executive order signed by Governor Mike Kehoe early this year, a special working group has been meeting to address its problems. We meet three of the group's members to learn about the parole system, the people inside it, and the most pressing problems in need of solutions.

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed the state budget into law last week, approving more than $50 billion in spending. But he also stripped more than half a billion dollars out that had been approved by lawmakers, including for dozens of programs and projects in Kansas City.

Aune also talks about Missouri House Democrats' chances in the 2026 election.
