Inside Carolina's Grace Nugent and Tommy Ashley break down North Carolina's sweep of Indiana in Boshamer Stadium on opening weekend. The Diamond Heels were not perfect, but strong starting pitching over three games and late timely hitting to complete the sweep provided an early baseline for head coach Scott Forbes and his team. Macon Winslow's 11th inning walk-off home run in game three will certainly carry the highlight reels, but Jason DeCaro, Folger Boaz and Ryan Lynch dealt in all three games setting the table for the offense to provide the winning firepower across the series' 27 innings.   This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

The odyssey reaches new heights as Brian Patterson shares some of the strangest and most profound encounters ever documented on the show. From a North Carolina camper who experienced unexplainable visions of an ancient forest to an Oregon mother whose lost daughter was safely returned by a gentle, hair-covered giant, these accounts push beyond simple sightings into territory that challenges everything we think we know about these creatures. The podcast also faces its greatest crisis when a retired biology professor's elaborate hoax nearly destroys everything Brian has built.The fallout is devastating, but with Daniel's unwavering support, Brian rebuilds stronger than ever with rigorous new verification procedures that earn the community's trust back.The story goes global as witnesses from Tibet, the Congo Basin, Papua New Guinea, and Siberia share encounters that mirror North American reports in stunning detail. A Lakota elder speaks of the Big Man as ancient guardians of the wild places. A Stanford primatologist risks her career to validate the evidence.And the Sasquatch Odyssey community grows into a worldwide network of researchers, witnesses, and believers united by shared experience.As the show hits its five hundredth episode, Brian finally tells his own story in full for the first time. But there's no time to rest. New thermal evidence and a late-night expedition deep into the backcountry deliver the most compelling footage yet captured. The men in black are watching again, the truth is spreading faster than anyone can contain it, and the odyssey is far from over.

Today's Headlines: Early voting is officially underway for North Carolina's March 3 Senate primary — your reminder that primary season is here and checking your state's election dates is now mandatory civic behavior. The timing matters, because Washington is doing the most: the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is likely to shut down after Senate Democrats blocked a funding bill that didn't include limits on ICE practices. If it happens, the shutdown would also hit the TSA, FEMA, and the United States Coast Guard — just as Congress leaves town for a Presidents' Day recess.  Meanwhile, border czar Tom Homan claims ICE is ending deployments to Minnesota, though reporting suggests those deployments may not have actually ended — or possibly started. At the same time, Customs and Border Protection is moving ahead with a $225,000 contract for Clearview AI, a facial recognition tool built on billions of scraped images, now approved for “tactical targeting” and network analysis.  That mysterious whistleblower complaint involving Tulsi Gabbard also landed exactly where everyone expected: it centered on her burying an NSA report about a Trump associate's call with a foreign intelligence agency. Just as we guessed…last week, that associate was Jared Kushner, and the call reportedly involved Iran. Benjamin Netanyahu met with Donald Trump at the White House, after which Trump publicly scolded Isaac Herzog for not pardoning Netanyahu over corruption charges — while brushing off questions about responsibility for October 7. Elsewhere, X, owned by Elon Musk, is under scrutiny after reports it sold premium accounts to Iranian regime officials despite U.S. sanctions. And finally, Gallup announced its ending monthly presidential approval ratings after nearly 90 years. The last one, taken in December, clocked in at 36%.

Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the challenge ahead for Coach Hubert Davis and the North Carolina basketball team. UNC faces it's toughest stretch of games without Caleb Wilson. Wilson's fractured hand will keep the all-everything freshman sidelined for an undeterminant amount of time. Carolina hosts Pittsburgh on Saturday and travels to NC State on Tuesday. The Heels currently slot as a five seed in NCAA Tournament projections after facing the easier portion of the schedule. With seven games left, five being Q1, can Coach Davis and his staff keep the team playing well enough in Wilson's absence to stay in the postseason mix? Barnes and Ashley discuss this and more on today's episode.   This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

Today's episode is a deeply personal one. I was devastated to hear of the passing of James Van Der Beek. Like so many of you, I grew up watching Dawson's Creek. But for me, it was even more than a show. My very first job was working on Dawson's Creek in Wilmington, North Carolina. My parents got to see their little girl step onto a set they watched in our living room every week... and that memory means everything to me. Years later, I had dinner with James and his wife Kimberly (who was one of the very first guests ever on Food Heals episode 6). That night, James sat with me, looked me in the eyes, and told me my parents were proud of me. He held space for me in a way most people never do. He didn't have to. But that's who he was. In this episode, I'm joined by: Reality TV producer Jessica Sirikulbut, who shares her heartfelt reflections on James' character, his spiritual depth, and the emotional impact this loss has had on our generation. Ryan Bailey, host of So Bad It's Good, who brings his thoughtful pop culture lens to James' legacy and the profound way he shaped so many of our lives. Together, we reflect on: • The impact Dawson's Creek had on our generation • James' powerful final interviews about love and worthiness • What cancer teaches us about presence and perspective • The emotional and spiritual layers of healing • Why "I am worthy of love" might be the most important mantra of all James wasn't just a talented actor. He was a light. A father of six. A devoted husband. A man who meditated, journaled, and led with love. And in a world that feels so divided, his passing feels like a wake-up call to return to what actually matters. Love. Presence. Connection. Forgiveness. Sweetness in life. If this episode moves you, and you feel called to support his family during this unimaginable time, you can contribute here:

A former Sheriff is calling out a bill that goes easy on sex offenders. Border Czar Tom Homan warned that if you’re here illegally you’re a candidate to be deported. Republican Senators clashed with Minnesota AG Keith Ellison on Capitol Hill. A federal judge thwarted Democrats’ efforts to place early voting sites a multiple North Carolina universities. // LongForm: GUEST: Rep. Michael Baumgartner on the fireworks that erupted during yesterday's House hearing with Attorney General Pam Bondi and the SAVE Act. // Quick Hit: CNN’s Kaitlan Collins sang the praises of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for her defense of free speech during an event in Saudi Arabia.

We have another special interview episode for you today for something that's not directly horror-related, but definitely falls within our framework of examining what scares us to find what saves us. Recently, Nathan was invited to host an author discussion at Troubadour Booksellers in Charlotte with author and pastor Greg Jarrell, whose book OUR TRESPASSES: WHITE CHURCHES AND THE TAKING OF AMERICAN NEIGHBORHOODS paints a sobering portrait of the ways that "race, geography, policy, and religion have created haunted landscapes in Charlotte, North Carolina, and throughout the United States." The conversation was so strong, Nathan invited Jarrell to share his book with us on the show.As was observed of Jarrell's work, he "brings receipts" for a conversation that is compelling, challenging, and thought-provoking about the moral gravity of having displaced and devalued our neighbors, both systematically and ideologically. Offering substantive research and thoughtful analysis, Jarrell provides not only an insightful portrait of how we got here, but what avenues might be open to us for lasting change.We hope you'll check out Greg Jarrell's book and we hope you enjoy this conversation!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Joe Concha hits the ground running like Secretariat to roast a North Carolina sheriff who is anti-ICE but can't name the three branches of government. He takes aim at "Tim Walz with hair"—New Jersey Governor Mikey Sherrill—for banning ICE operations and dismantles the "ridiculous" claim that 69 million women will lose their vote due to name changes. Later, Media Research Center President David Bozell joins the show to reveal how Apple News and big tech aggregators are burying conservative outlets and shares the hilarious story of his father's dog, Cosmo, becoming the "Ambassador Dog" to South Africa.

Managing a horse diagnosed with metabolic problems means understanding how conditions such as equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) and insulin dysregulation increase the risk of serious complications, including laminitis. Horses with metabolic problems often benefit from controlled diets low in sugars and starches, tailored to prevent spikes in blood insulin and support healthy body condition. Regular exercise and weight management should be part of a comprehensive plan because activity can help improve insulin sensitivity and supports overall metabolic health. While there's no cure for these conditions, strategic, research-based care can help improve your metabolic horse's well-being.During this podcast, two experts answer listener questions about managing horses that have metabolic problems.About the Experts: Greg Schmid, DVM, originally from Canada, moved to Ohio as a teenager, where his family trained dressage and eventing horses. He earned a Bachelor of Science in equine science from Otterbein University, in Westerville, Ohio, and a DVM from The Ohio State University, in Columbus. After graduation, Schmid completed an internship at B.W. Furlong & Associates, in Oldwick, New Jersey, and then worked with Dr. John “Doc” Steele in a hunter/jumper-focused practice covering the East Coast. He later practiced in Portland, Oregon, working with various English and Western sport horses. Schmid joined Dechra as an equine professional services veterinarian in September 2020 and now lives in Asheville, North Carolina.Caitrin Lowndes, DVM, is a research fellow at the Van Eps Laminitis and Endocrinology Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, in Kennett Square, with a background in field practice. Her main area of research is the improved diagnosis and management of insulin dysregulation, with particular interest in how that research can be translated into clinical practice for the treatment and prevention of laminitis.

On today's episode, I talk to harpist Mary Lattimore. Originally from Asheville, North Carolina, Mary began playing the harp as a tween and eventually attended the Eastman School of Music to study it more seriously. In 2012, Mary released her first album, a self-titled cassette, on Fred Thomas' Life Like imprint. This was re-released a year later on Desire Path Recordings with a new title, The Withdrawing Room. Since then, she's released almost a dozen more albums and collaborations on labels like Ghostly International, Three Lobed and Thrill Jockey, and her latest, Tragic Magic, an album she made with Julianna Barwick, was just released in the middle of January, and it's fantastic!

This is the fifth episode in a new season of our Main Street NC series. We're visiting communities across the state to hear from local leaders about the issues and challenges they're facing.About 20 beach houses have recently collapsed into the ocean in Buxton on the Outer Banks. Local leaders there say the cause isn't just climate change or sea-level rise. They blame a deteriorating jetty installed by the U.S. Navy decades ago to protect a Cold War submarine monitoring station. Local and federal officials have responded to the rapid erosion by promising beach renourishment and jetty repairs, but those projects might not be a long-term solution for one of North Carolina's most fragile beach communities. To learn more about Buxton's beach erosion problems and what comes next, WUNC News' Colin Campbell visited the community and spoke with Buxton Civic Association President Heather Jennette and Vice President Brian Harris.

The riots, protests, and boycotts that broke out in North America in the wake of the Stamp Act were only one part of the mass crisis that beset Great Britain in the 1760s, as the discontented poor and middle classes rallied behind the ideals of liberty and freedom of speech, and around “radical Whig” politicians who challenged the power of the Crown and the London oligarchy – none more so than the infamous provocateur, satirist, and “rake,” John Wilkes, who ignited popular passions in London and the colonies and nearly burned down the ruling Whig establishment. We examine a key specimen of a tiny glass cufflink jewel inscribed with the incendiary slogan, “Wilkes and Liberty,” which was rececntly discovered in an abandoned town in North Carolina, and which has touched off a wave of similar discoveries, revealing the importance of small, almost unnoticeable objects in the spread of discontent and radical rhetoric across the Atlantic in the years before the American Revolution.

When Deb Tyson was recruited to play basketball at Louisburg College in 1974, she had no idea she would also play volleyball. Her head coach, Terry Pettit, had no idea he would coach women's volleyball at the same school, a small junior college in North Carolina. That coincidence changed their professional journeys. Pettit became the head women's volleyball coach at Nebraska, and Deb Tyson became the head volleyball coach at a junior college in Columbus, Nebraska, James Madison University, the University of Virginia, and a decorated high school athletics director in Charlottesville. This is a conversation about her remarkable journey. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable break down the Panthers' upcoming matchup with No. 11 North Carolina, sans star NBA Draft prospect Caleb Wilson. This show is presented by FanDuel. Does Wilson's injury give Jeff Capel's Panthers a real chance to win? Or is this going to be just another ACC loss for Barry Dunning Jr., Cam Corhen and Co.? Why will perimeter shooting from players like Damarco Minor be key to victory? Can the Panthers exploit the Tar Heels' lack of 3-point defense? Our duo tackles those topics, plus gives their picks for the game, and one of them even picks an upset .... Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jay Rushin, who left a 20-year finance career to become the CEO of the iconic H&H Bagels in 2014. details the brand's tumultuous history—including multiple bankruptcies and a famous split in ownership—before explaining how he modernized the legacy business by rebuilding its infrastructure and implementing formal systems. A major focus of the conversation is Jay's innovative approach to scaling: by "par-baking" and freezing bagels in a central 20,000-square-foot facility in Queens, H&H can provide authentic New York bagels to franchise locations worldwide without the prohibitive costs of on-site boiling and mixing equipment. The episode concludes with Jay's insights on maintaining product quality through traditional kettle-boiling and long "retarding" (proofing) processes, as well as his strict criteria for hands-on, dedicated franchisees as the brand expands rapidly into markets like Florida and North Carolina.10 Key Takeaways Legacy Brand Awareness: H&H Bagels benefits from massive organic brand recognition due to its history in NYC and features in shows like Seinfeld. Modernizing Infrastructure: Upon acquisition, Jay had to replace or rebuild nearly every piece of kitchen equipment within the first two years to modernize the operation. Operational Hands-Onness: In the early years, Jay worked seven days a week, often personally taking delivery calls and answering phones. The "Nickels and Dimes" Business: Success in the food industry requires meticulous attention to small details, as margins are thin and minor waste (like extra labor or wasted ingredients) adds up over time. Innovation via Par-Baking: By figuring out how to par-bake and freeze bagels, H&H can ship "authentic" product globally while reducing franchisee equipment costs by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Quality Ingredients: A great bagel requires high-protein flour (13-14 grams) compared to lower-quality grocery store versions that typically have only 7-8 grams. The Power of Kettle-Boiling: H&H maintains a strict process of kettle-boiling bagels for 30–45 seconds to create the distinct "skin" and shine that differentiates a real bagel from regular bread. Extended Proofing: The dough is "retarded" (chilled) for 8 to 12 hours, a process that allows the yeast to work and develops significantly more flavor than automated, rapid-production methods. Strategic Growth: Jay chose to build a massive 20,000-square-foot bakery in Queens before fully launching national franchising to ensure they had the capacity to support new locations. Franchisee Criteria: Jay looks for "hands-on" owners rather than passive investors, warning that those who try to "mail it in" or outsource everything are making a mistake.

Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes and Tommy Ashley discuss the impact of Caleb Wilson on the North Carolina team and North Carolina basketball program in Wilson's short time in Chapel Hill. Wilson's performances on the floor and engagement with students and fans off the court have endeared the freshman unlike almost any other player in the last two decades. Barnes and Ashley discuss the generational side of Wilson's play, the weight he carries on his shoulders night in and night out, where he stacks up in Tar Heel lore of the past 20 years and finally, will Tuesday's performance in Miami leave any mark on all of those accomplishments and accolades to come. Wilson's injured left wrist has been the talk of the fanbase since the loss as the road gets no easier after a weekend date with Pittsburgh on Saturday.   This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

Inside Carolina's Sherrell McMillan joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the massive news that North Carolina's all-everything freshman Caleb Wilson is out indefinitely after testing determined a fracture in his left hand. Wilson injured the hand at Miami on Tuesday night and according to a UNC Communications release, initial x-rays did not reveal the break. Further imaging in Chapel Hill this week revealed the bad news. McMillan and Ashley discuss the impact of Wilson's absence on Hubert Davis's team and how the Tar Heels can handle the situation with Wilson's availability for the rest of the season in doubt.   This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

The Voice of the Miami Hurricanes, Joe Zagack, breaks down the Canes Basketball signature win vs. North Carolina, Jai Lucas's process, his love for the Olympics, Canes Baseball kicking off this weekend, and whether Joe Z will have a Mark Light Shake.

In hour two, Hoch, Crowder, and Jimmy find out lobsters are sea cockroaches and review the NBA Celebrity Game Roster. The USA vs. Latvia Olympic Men's Hockey game is ongoing, with many updates. Joe Zagacki analyzes the Hurricanes' key basketball win over North Carolina, Jai Lucas's development, his passion for the Olympics, Canes Baseball starting this weekend, and whether Joe Z will have a Mark Light Shake.

Hurricanes basketball head coach Jai Lucas joins the show to break down a big win against North Carolina and discuss the growth of his team so far this season. He talks about navigating the challenges of a first-year head coach, including staying composed when calls don't go his team's way. Coach Lucas also addresses Tru Washington's return to the lineup, shares praise for center Ernest Udeh, and offers insight into recruiting players with high-level basketball pedigrees, particularly those with mothers who played at the top levels. He wraps up by weighing in on the impact of G-League players returning to college basketball.

In Hour 3, Hurricanes head coach Jai Lucas breaks down a big win over North Carolina, his team's growth, Tru Washington's return, and praise for center Ernest Udeh, while discussing recruiting players with high-level basketball pedigrees and the impact of G-League players returning to college. Later, Kim Bokamper joins to weigh in on the Dolphins, including Kevin Patullo's hire, the potential signing of Malik Willis, and why Tua is no longer a fit in Miami. The guys discuss the importance of a true “QB personality,” critique Tua's struggles, and stress patience for fans during the rebuild, while also touching on the limited value of Pro Days and hope for last year's Dolphins rookies.

Eighteen years in, and we're still in the middle of reinvention. From starting Hilliard Studio Method in borrowed spaces to navigating real estate pressure and big-city change, this conversation gets honest about what it takes to build a business rooted in community; not ego or profit. We talk about aging without apology, trusting yourself when the noise gets loud, and why protecting the people who make your business what it is will always come first. If you're building something from the heart and refusing to let fear run the show, this one's for you.   Local Charlotte Businesses You Can Support: Supperland – A Plaza Midwood restaurant in a restored church, run by Jeff Tonidandel & Jamie Brown, who invest in community and historic preservation Laurel Market – A beloved neighborhood deli and market with decades of Charlotte history, now entering a new chapter as it relocates after 35+ years Bond Street Wines – A local wine shop and tasting room that brings people together over thoughtfully curated bottles and community events   3 Truths About Building a Community-Driven Business: Lead with impact first, and let the money catch up. The strongest businesses aren't built by chasing profit; they're built by solving real problems for real people. When your work genuinely improves lives, financial success becomes a byproduct, not the goal. Reinvention is part of longevity, not a sign of failure. Every long-lasting business will be forced to evolve, by aging, markets, or circumstances beyond your control. The key isn't avoiding change, but adapting without abandoning the values that made your business matter in the first place. Community doesn't live in a building, it lives in trust. Spaces may change and platforms may shift, but people stay where they feel seen! Whether in person or online, consistency, care, and connection are what turn customers into a community.  

Rick Beck's modern cast and carved figurative glass sculptures are inspired by industrial and architectural works as well as the human form, with an emphasis on formal aspects. Interested in playing the volumes of mass against the rhythm of the lines, Beck enjoys the interplay of the visual versus the verbal, creating art that challenges the eye as well as the mind. Beck states: "My wife, Valerie, got me a book about the competitive relationship between Picasso and Matisse. Their artistic dialogue about the figure has fired my imagination, especially the way they shared and borrowed images and ideas from one another, as well as from history and literature. Between this book and visits to the Art Institute of Chicago, I've been inspired by the use of shape, form, and mass to create something more universal than the literal subject." A studio artist who was based in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, for 30 years before moving to Hawaii in 2020, Beck began working in glass at Hastings College in Nebraska, where he received his BA. The artist received his MFA from Southern Illinois University, where he studied with Bill Boysen. He was awarded residencies at the Appalachian Center for Crafts 1989 to 1991, and in 1994 received a Visual Arts Fellowship from the North Carolina Arts Council, followed by a National Endowment for the Arts regional Visual Arts Fellowship from the Southern Arts Federation in 1995. A student of the Studio Glass movement, Beck has assisted at Pilchuck Glass School, assisting artists Curtiss Brock and Jan Mares, as well as at the Penland School of Craft.   Beck currently shares a studio with wife Valerie Thomas Beck in Hakalau, Hawaii. Valerie has been a designer and co-conspirator to Rick since 1984. Both artists have been artists-in-residence at Penland School of Crafts, North Carolina, (1991-94) and have also been instructors there. Their blown glass work consists mainly of vessels – canvasses for imagery based on dreams and experiences ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. These vessels document their lives while providing beauty and pleasure. Since moving to the Big Island, Beck's challenge in making glass work is two-fold. First, to create work without using fossil fuels or adding to the demand for capacity on the electrical grid. Their new studio is powered by a solar/photo voltaic and battery system. Second, to create work that excites and challenges his concepts of art inside these new energy parameters. For him, formal aspects are crucial. Beck stretches and manipulates common shapes and objects, reducing the objects to pattern and geometry. Currently, he is producing work focusing on the geometry of life, plant, and human forms.  Beck's work will be on view in 2026 at Blue Print Gallery, Dallas, Texas, opening February 26; at Hidell Brooks Gallery, Charlotte, North Carolina, in May; at Blue Spiral 1 group show, Asheville, North Carolina; and at Ken Saunders, Chicago, Illinois. His work is also represented by Raven Gallery, Aspen, Colorado.    

IMS debuts its “Be The Best” podcast, which covers the University of Maryland's men's lacrosse program. In this episode, the Terps' 19-10 opening game win over in-state rival Loyola is discussed. Despite slow start on offense, Maryland's transfers from Yale paced the offense, as did a transfer at the face-off X. Younger players getting their first significant experiences also made contributions, as did the return of a goalie who started for the 2024 season. The hosts also do a quick spin around games of national interest - Virginia's win over Colgate, North Carolina's escape against Jacksonville, Villanova's overtime win at Penn State, and others – before getting into a preview of Friday's road tilt against Syracuse. Finally, we note some national games of interest – Virginia at Richmond, Penn State at Princeton, and Loyola at Johns Hopkins.

We all know elections are important, from president to city council and school board. But have you ever heard anyone talk about running for office as self-care?We hadn't either — until today! This week on the pod, we were joined by two inspirational women: Jill Barkley Roy and Kate Barr. Jill is the Director of Emerge Action Fund, an organization that trains women to run for office. And Kate has been fighting against gerrymandering in North Carolina for years and now, she's actually running for office as a Republican as a genius way to beat those unfair maps.Not only did both Jill and Kate share what they've been doing to help women (including themselves) run for office, but they both said that the work they do is what helps them not lose their shit on a daily basis. Jill even said that after training 25 women to run for office at a recent Emerge bootcamp, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. That sounds a lot better than lying awake because of nightmares about ICE!Kate, meanwhile, shared this wisdom that she first heard from a Tibetan monk about not spreading ourselves too thin. We should find our torch — the issue we care about most — and carry it in the direction we feel is right and true for as we're able. It's what she and Jill have both been doing for years.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue. You can learn more about us at www.redwine.blue or follow us on social media!
