A routine family fishing trip took a horrifying turn when a group of relatives spotted something unusual floating in a South Carolina river. The discovery of the body of 46-year-old Gregory Rice, wrapped in a tarp, weighed down with cinder blocks, and riddled with bullet holes, shocked the community. The discovery led investigators down a path filled with secrets, suspicious behavior, and questions that only multiplied as the truth finally came out….If you're new here, don't forget to follow the show for weekly deep dives into the darkest true crime cases!

We have several problems, Neighbor--and all of them involve moisture. Cooincidence?! We think not! THEN: The Peaches learned a new term, and it will either help you become a better comedian or drive you crazy. Proceed with caution. LATER: John shares a story about when he realized his bi-polar father was losing touch with reality. But, on the plus side, he almost became the heir of an Aloe Vera Farm!

Songwriting seems like magic until you actually watch someone do it. Then you realize it's mostly just confidently making bad decisions until some of them accidentally rhyme. We're writing a song completely on the spot. No plan, no polished lyrics, just improvising our way into something that hopefully sounds intentional by the end. We're also playing around with AI music tools. Which is exciting... and a little unsettling. We spent years learning chords, and now a laptop is like, "I made four albums while you were tuning your guitar." All of this leads us to writing a song about Charlie Bunny. Sometimes inspiration strikes. Sometimes it hands you a rabbit named Charlie and says, "Figure it out." So today is part songwriting, part musical experiment, part AI exploration, and part failure.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the shocking case of Pam Hupp, a Missouri woman whose web of lies, manipulation, and greed would unravel over the course of several years. What began as the tragic murder of Betsy Faria in 2011 appeared to be a seemingly open and shut case, leading investigators to focus on Betsy's husband. But as new evidence emerged, the investigation took a startling turn, revealing a trail of deception that extended far beyond a single crime. As authorities dug deeper, they uncovered suspicious deaths, fraudulent schemes, and a pattern of calculated behavior that pointed back to Hupp. Candice examines how Hupp's relentless pursuit of financial gain, talent for manipulation, and apparent lack of remorse allowed her to evade suspicion for years, and how a determined search for the truth ultimately exposed one of the most disturbing criminal cases in recent memory.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

Imagine if one day, your quiet neighborhood came alive with a steady hum… and it never went away? All throughout the United States, data centers are popping up next door and in your backyards. These buildings guzzle millions of water, cause noise pollution, and are raising homeowners' utility bills. In this first episode of a four-part miniseries, Sherrell interviews environmental health scientist Dr. Jacoby Wilson on what happens when data centers infiltrate a neighborhood. They discuss why data centers disproportionately undermine working class communities and how Dr. Wilson is working developing ordinances to better regulate data centers and holding planning commissions accountable.This episode is part of a special series on TED Tech on data centers and their impact on our environment and communities.

After a long week at a business conference, all she wanted was a quiet hotel room and a good night's sleep.Instead, she spent three nights listening to footsteps, moving furniture, opening doors, and steady activity coming from the room beside hers.Normally, she wouldn't have thought twice about it.The problem was that every employee she spoke with—from housekeeping to security to the front desk—insisted the neighboring room was empty.The noises continued anyway.What began as a minor annoyance slowly turned into something she couldn't explain, especially after late-night knocking echoed from places where nobody should have been.Years later, she still travels for work and still stays in hotels. But every now and then, when she hears footsteps through a wall late at night, she finds herself thinking about the room next door... and wondering who was staying there.#RealGhostStories #HauntedHotel #HotelGhost #ParanormalExperience #GhostlyFootsteps #TrueGhostStory #UnexplainedSounds #TravelMysteries #HauntedTravel #GhostStoryLove real ghost stories?

We revisited movies that leave emotional dents in the audience. We reflected on the particular impact of Bone Tomahawk, Memento, and No Country for Old Men, each of which demonstrates that filmmakers possess an alarming ability to rearrange our nervous systems using little more than editing, tension, and a refusal to provide comforting explanations. That discussion led naturally to sports culture, which in America occasionally transforms victory into an elaborate public works project involving overturned objects and insurance claims. We traded stories about celebrations that escalated into city-wide chaos, highlighting the peculiar civic tradition of expressing affection for a team by setting fire to things the team had never asked anyone to ignite. Along the way, we examined regional rivalries and the enduring belief that residents of other cities are fundamentally misguided people whose sports preferences reveal deep character flaws. The focus widened to the curious presence of protestors outside Christian rock concerts, a niche activity requiring both logistical commitment and a sophisticated understanding of where Christian rock concerts are being held. We considered how these groups operate and the strange optics of objecting to music performed by people who are, on paper, already in broad ideological agreement with them. We considered how analogies work and whether they can be trained the same way people train themselves to catch flying Frisbees or remember where they parked. Through improv exercises and whatever everyday objects happened to be nearby, we discovered that the human brain is apparently eager to connect unrelated things, which is both the foundation of creativity and the reason someone eventually compares municipal budgeting to a crockpot. We also explored the paradox of songwriting, where jokes sometimes become hits and carefully engineered masterpieces occasionally disappear without a trace. Creating under pressure requires a willingness to chase ideas that initially sound ridiculous, while popularity itself remains stubbornly indifferent to effort, expertise, or anyone's carefully developed five-year plan. The same unpredictability surfaced in conversations about celebrity opinions, social media bans, and the mysterious mechanics by which certain people become influential while others post into the digital equivalent of an abandoned mall food court. By the end, we had connected improv exercises, traumatic movie endings, championship riots, concert protestors, songwriting deadlines, curmudgeonly tendencies, and the fragile economics of internet fame.
How does a simple meal become the ultimate anchor? This week, chef to the masses (and my former neighbor!) Nico joins me in the kitchen. We're talking identity, intentionality, and the radical act of feeding yourself on your own terms. Plus, we dive into concept-based cooking, navigating dietary constraints, and finding boundless creative freedom inside a tiny New York kitchen.

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever wondered how to live a missionary life without leaving your normal responsibilities behind, Saint John Francis Regis offers a surprisingly practical answer. We follow the story of this 17th-century Jesuit priest who chose the remote roads of southern France as his “foreign mission” and helped revive faith in places worn down by war, famine, and spiritual indifference. His legacy still speaks to modern Catholics who want a stronger Catholic identity and a real way to share Christ's love with a tired world. We talk through what made Regis so effective: a life anchored in the sacraments, long hours before the Blessed Sacrament, and a readiness to respond quickly to God's call. His evangelization wasn't flashy. It was personal, relational, and rooted in mercy, from preaching and catechism to reconciliation that could stretch to sixteen hours a day in the confessional. If you care about Catholic evangelization, you'll hear why patient listening and clear truth belong together. Just as powerful is his commitment to the marginalized. Regis organized shelters for orphans, protected the vulnerable, and poured special care into ministry to women in crisis by opening safe homes and creating paths to dignified work. We also explore the opposition he faced, the sacrifices that sustained him, and the stories of miracles and conversions that point beyond him to God's providence.

When her mother first started talking about strange activity in the apartment, she wasn't buying it. Doors opened on their own, footsteps echoed through empty rooms, and objects seemed to disappear and reappear without explanation. She chalked it all up to old buildings, active imaginations, and a mother who was letting fear get the better of her.Then, circumstances forced her to move in.Living there didn't immediately change her mind. Most of what she experienced could still be explained away—at least until one late night when she felt someone climb onto her bed and move steadily toward her in the darkness.What happened next left her with no explanation at all.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedApartment #GhostStory #TrueParanormal #HauntedHistory #ParanormalEncounter #UnexplainedEvents #GhostEncounter #RealGhostStoriesOnlineLove real ghost stories?

The Marc Cox Morning Show kicks off a packed Friday with Dan Buck and Kim St. Onge holding down the fort — and they waste no time. A historic Iran peace deal may be signed this weekend, JD Vance is already in the air, and oil prices are cratering toward the 70s. Trump is delivering on a scale the Left never imagined and they have no answer for it. Back home, New York Knicks fans are terrorizing streets, beating Spurs fans, and assaulting cops — two nights of riots before they've even won anything — and Mayor Adams couldn't care less. Even Stephen A. Smith had enough and went on air to say what every conservative already knew: you touch a cop, all bets are off. And Kim St. Onge drops a bombshell — Virginia's Clean Slate Law is about to seal over 100,000 criminal records, blocking landlords and employers from knowing the truth about who they're hiring or housing. Hour 1 of the Marc Cox Morning Show is the hour that proves common sense isn't dead — it just moved to conservative radio.

The generalist agent is disappearing. The ones winning right now aren't trying to be everything to everyone — they're becoming the undeniable expert in one thing. Valerie Upham, a Compass agent in San Diego, did exactly that. By committing to a single, high-need specialty most agents won't touch, she generated over $475,000 in GCI in 18 months — and $267,000 of that came straight from educational seminars and events. If you're still chasing every lead in every price point and quietly wondering why you feel replaceable… this episode shows you the opposite move. In this episode, you'll learn: The Niche-Down Paradox: Why narrowing her focus to one specialty actually multiplied her referrals — and made her the obvious call. The $267K Seminar Engine: How educational events became her single biggest source of GCI in 18 months. The Room of Two: Why Valerie works a 2-person seminar like a full listing appointment — and the listings it's closed. Fill the Room: The exact channel mix she uses to drive attendance — direct mail to 30-year homeowners, Facebook, NextDoor, LinkedIn, and Eventbrite. The Trust-First Play: How shredding events and her own podcast build relationships years before anyone's ready to list. The Equity Protector: Why she personally manages contractors and renovations to protect a family's return through a major life transition. Valerie's results weren't luck. The structure behind her niche was built inside Tom Ferry Coaching. Ready to stop competing as a generalist and become the expert clients seek out?

We began by asking one of humanity's most pressing questions: What if the Bible has been secretly giving us directions to American landmarks this whole time? We examined theories involving overlaid maps of the Middle East, hidden symbols in U.S. geography, the Gates of Babylon, and connections between ancient Hebrew references and modern-day Utah. It turns out that if you are willing to move enough maps around, almost anything can become a prophetic revelation, including, presumably, a shopping mall in Ohio. We revisited familiar arguments about whether the Apollo missions were genuine achievements of science or elaborate productions made with technology rivaling a 1970s science-fiction movie. Along the way, we considered Russian skepticism, flat earth theories, Antarctic ice walls, and the enduring belief that governments are capable of hiding virtually anything from the public, except tax deadlines. From there, we turned our attention to artificial intelligence, which is rapidly advancing toward a future in which robots may drive us across town, deliver supplies in hospitals, and judge our inability to remember internet passwords. We discussed autonomous vehicles operating in Atlanta, humanoid robots under development, and the unsettling prospect of entrusting our care to machines whose understanding of compassion rivals drink dispensers. Popular culture has spent decades warning us about this outcome, although in fairness, movies also convinced us that fax machines would be important forever. We explored Bigfoot, cryptids, ghosts, and biblical accounts involving spirits communicating with human beings. Rather than treating these topics as mere folklore, we considered them through a theological lens, discussing demonic deception, the story of Saul and the witch of Endor, and the challenge of discerning what experiences should be understood as spiritual realities rather than unexplained phenomena. Few podcasts allow for a transition from self-driving cars to ancient necromancy, but we strive to provide a well-rounded experience. Eventually, we arrived at the universal language of childhood memories. We reminisced about the household remedies and candies that shaped entire generations, including Mentos, Vicks Vapor Rub, hot sauce, and the unwavering confidence of adults who believed that applying enough ointment could address any medical concern. These products occupied a curious space between medicine, tradition, and family mythology, passed down with the same certainty usually reserved for the laws of physics. By the end, we had traveled from biblical geography to moon conspiracies, from robot caregivers to Bigfoot, and from ghost stories to the healing reputation of Vicks Vapor Rub. Somewhere between questioning official narratives and remembering the candy of our youth, we found ourselves reflecting on the stories people inherit, the explanations they construct, and the remarkable human ability to approach both ancient mysteries and chest congestion with absolute conviction.

Ever wonder where your high school diploma actually is? Neither do we... until somehow it became the most important question of the day.On this episode, the gang takes a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of SportsCenter, remembering the legendary Stuart Scott and the iconic catchphrases that basically raised an entire generation of sports fans. One minute we're honoring broadcasting greatness, the next we're discussing football injuries, old ESPN rivalries, and why "Booyah!" deserves a comeback tour.Then things get weird. Really weird.A local neighborhood dispute explodes after a mystery lawn vigilante decides someone's yard isn't meeting community standards and takes matters into his own hands. Unfortunately, the unauthorized landscaping project allegedly turns into a bunny apocalypse, sparks Nextdoor drama, and launches one of the most ridiculous debates we've had in a while. Is No Mow May helping the environment, or is it just a fancy excuse to avoid yard work? The jury is still out.Speaking of questionable life choices, the crew discovers that almost nobody knows where their high school diploma is. For years we were told this magical piece of paper would unlock life's opportunities, yet somehow none of us can locate ours and nobody has ever asked to see it. Naturally, this evolves into a campaign for honorary degrees from every college in the St. Louis area. If you're a university administrator listening right now, we're accepting applications.Meanwhile, New York basketball fans continue proving that sports can bring people together... specifically to collectively tackle a guy wearing the wrong jersey. The crew reacts to viral videos of playoff mayhem, debates fan behavior, and wonders how anyone survives walking through an angry crowd while representing the opposing team.The internet also delivers one of the most frustrating viral parenting moments we've seen in a long time. A little girl flips off an elderly man at a grocery store, the mom decides to defend the behavior, and the internet responds exactly the way you'd expect. It's one of those stories where every second somehow makes things worse.Plus:The return of "Booyah!"SportsCenter nostalgiaMissing diplomasHonorary college degreesCharles Barkley vs. ShaqNo Mow May controversyBunny protection programsNeighborhood lawn vigilantesDowntown St. Louis food hall newsKnicks fan insanityViral parenting failsRatio Jury DutyIt's another completely normal daily comedy show from people who somehow turn every conversation into an argument about lawn maintenance, rabbits, and academic credentials.If you enjoy weird news, pop culture commentary, St. Louis conversations, and a group of adults spending way too much time discussing documents nobody can find, this episode is exactly the kind of chaos you're looking for.The daily comedy show continues proving that no topic is too small, no internet video is too ridiculous, and no honorary doctorate is beyond our reach.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
If you looked around and notice your neighbors, I mean really look at them...do you find them reclusive? Are they, possibly unfriendly? I've shared several sessions on this podcast that explore the fascinating idea that some extraterrestrial races possess the technology and ability to disguise themselves among humans. Today's session offers another intriguing perspective on that theme. In this journey, we meet a farmer who is living in disguise and doing everything possible to avoid drawing attention to himself within his community. As his story unfolds, he comes to realize that remaining hidden may actually be preventing him from fulfilling the very mission he came here to accomplish.This session touches on themes of identity, purpose, authenticity, and the courage it takes to be seen for who we truly are.

When data centers come to town, power bills go up, the water supply gets squeezed, and emissions start to rise. It's no wonder seven in ten Americans don't want one in their backyard. In the midst of this AI gold rush, many tech companies are taking advantage of communities, health, wealth, and safety for promises of a better future. But communities aren't taking the bait. In this episode, we talk about the real life effects of AI infrastructure and hear how it's affecting folks in our community. We get the stats on this booming industry and what's at stake. We hear from Abre' Connor, the civil rights attorney leading the NAACP's lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI — a data center that's now running 59 methane gas turbines in a Mississippi community, breaking a law that's been on the books since the 1970s.And we ask the uncomfortable question: could all this energy hunger actually accelerate the renewable transition? Is the AI revolution happening to us or for us? And what can we do about it? Episode rundown: (00:53) - On thing we can agree on (09:14) - The ripple effects of the AI boom (14:35) - The NAACP Lawyer Taking Elon Musk's xAI (27:59) - Can the Grid Save Us?

It has been an unsusual week. Things feel off cars, coaches got kicked out of sports games, and Bridger saw a pirate!

This week, we—John Branyan, Juan DeVevo, and David Pendleton—attempt to explain the difference between a religious retreat and a conference, which is harder than it sounds when three middle-aged guys start wandering off into cultural analysis. We argue that a retreat is less about workshops, breakout sessions, and laminated name tags, and more about fellowship, spiritual encouragement, and remembering that other humans exist in three dimensions. From there, we stumble into the world of modern comedy, where a comedian can become famous one 30-second reel at a time and then discover that getting people to watch an entire live show is a completely different skill. We look at how social media has changed the business, and why collecting views online isn't always the same thing as holding an audience's attention in a room that doesn't have a scroll button. That naturally leads us into technology, AI, and our growing habit of interacting with screens instead of people. We wrestle with what happens to culture, faith, and ordinary human contact when more of life becomes virtual. Along the way, we examine declining church attendance, shifting patterns of religious engagement between men and women, and the way culture seems to be breaking into smaller and smaller tribes. We wonder what happens when shared institutions disappear and everyone gets their own customized version of reality. By the end, we're connecting all of it—retreats, comedy clubs, AI, church pews, families, and digital life. The common thread is our tendency to replace difficult, imperfect, real-world relationships with easier virtual substitutes. We don't solve the problem, but we do spend a considerable amount of time proving that friends with microphones can still gather in person and talk about it.
Skip straight to the case: (6:00)In the fall of 1998, a tight-knit Florida neighborhood came together with a single mission: find missing eight-year-old Madelyn Clifton. Flyers covered telephone poles, search parties combed the streets, and worried neighbors opened their homes to help. A chilling truth was hiding in plain sight. The person who knew exactly what had happened to Maddie wasn't a stranger lurking in the shadows - it was a boy from just down the street. Almost thirty years later, this case is still making headlines. In May 2026, Josh withdrew his resentencing application in a bid to work on and prove his rehabilitation after being incarcerated.

It's a bit of a let-down at the top of the show... The Peaches thought she recorded something adorable to share, but the recording didn't work.THEN: Who is The Comedian on the Fight, Laugh, Feast, Network??? Well--according to Google Ai, it's not John Branyan! lol. LATER: Somebody tried to joke around with a new dad, and he made it very weird. If you want to be respected so badly, then you HAVE to be willing to laugh at yourself. Contact the Comedian's family by emailing nextdoor@johnbranyan.com . (Tell us what you want to talk about.

Martha Raddatz has reported on the U.S. military for more than 30 years. Now she's out with a new book: The Hero Next Door: Stories of Patriotism and Purpose. It's a collection of veterans' stories from her years covering war on the frontlines and from the Pentagon. It's important, Raddatz tells NPR's Steve Inskeep, “to know the people who are over there performing these duties for us.” In today's episode, Raddatz joins Inskeep to discuss the decades of tough and bloody reporting that culminated in the book, and why she believes in telling veterans' stories both during and after war.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

This episode moves between internet frustrations, family stories, and long-running debates about animals, morality, and personal identity. The discussion begins with the difficulty of searching for personal channels online before shifting into conversations about extreme weather, childhood memories, and the strange logic people use when deciding which animals feel morally worse to hit with a car. Turtles, rabbits, insects, and spiders all become part of an extended conversation about instinctive reactions, survival, and the ways people justify everyday behavior. From there, the focus turns toward eccentric family habits, school discipline, and the kinds of stories that grow more exaggerated every time they are retold. Much of the humor comes from small details and offhand observations, including imagined animal-hit decals, collectible crash memorabilia, and the idea of giving people exaggerated community titles based on bizarre personal moments. The episode also spends time on insects that seem impossible to kill, especially daddy longlegs and ironclad beetles, and how certain creatures develop almost mythical reputations simply because they are difficult to crush or remove. The conversation eventually widens into reflections on diagnosis, self-identity, and the tendency to turn personal flaws into recurring jokes. Discussions about language quirks, acronyms, and pointless letters continue the episode’s interest in systems that feel unnecessarily complicated despite being part of ordinary life. By the end, broken search results, indestructible bugs, family legends, and animal silhouette decals all blend into the same loose pattern of finding humor in the routines, frustrations, and absurd logic built into everyday experiences.
ABC News chief global affairs correspondent and co-anchor of This Week, Martha Raddatz, joins Donny to discuss her powerful new book, The Hero Next Door: Stories of Patriotism and Purpose — and why America's post-9/11 generation of veterans deserves to be called the next "Greatest Generation." From flying 10-hour combat missions in Afghanistan to embedding with troops in Iraq, Martha has spent decades on the front lines building deep relationships with the men and women who serve. In this conversation, she shares unforgettable stories from the book — including Marine Derek Herrera, who was paralyzed in battle and went on to revolutionize medical care for other wounded veterans; Kevin Schaefer and Steve Workman, who survived the Pentagon on 9/11; and Medal of Honor recipient Sal Giunta, whose quiet heroism brought a Korean War veteran to tears at Arlington Cemetery. Martha and Donny talk about: Why service members volunteer — and what drives them when they come home The hidden battle with PTSD after the war ends The devastating exit from Afghanistan and its toll on veterans How these heroes can unite a divided country Why Martha says knowing these people has made her a better journalist — and a better human being Whether you're a military family, a history buff, or simply someone hungry for stories of real American courage, this episode will restore your faith in humanity.
Melissa and Kate first met when their sons played flag football together as kids. In this sobering episode, Melissa shares the terrifying story of how her 14-year-old son was approached by an older man on a public dock in Newport Beach in the middle of the day. Claiming he was suicidal, the man drew the teenager into an increasingly personal conversation, asked for his phone number, and later attempted to contact him again through text messages. After investigating with the help of a local Nextdoor post and Megan's Law records, Melissa discovered the man is a convicted violent sexual predator with a history involving kidnapping, lewd acts with a minor, and a stabbing that led to prison time. Melissa explains how she uncovered the truth, the emotional toll on her family, and why she wants other parents to understand how predators can manipulate young people through fear, sympathy, and emotional pressure—even in seemingly safe public places.
