Today, we address the elevated risk profile resulting from a slow-moving western storm that encompasses the desert Southwest and the Southern Plains. Flood watches and warnings have been issued across parts of Arizona, southeast California, and southern Nevada as persistent rainfall continues to impact these regions. Additionally, southern Utah is experiencing mountain snow, while parts of North Texas through Oklahoma are under a marginal risk for severe storms, which may include damaging winds and hail. We also note that Hawaii's Big Island summits remain under a winter weather advisory due to anticipated wintry conditions. As we navigate these varied weather phenomena, we emphasize the importance of remaining situationally aware and prepared for potential hazards.Takeaways:* A slow-moving western storm significantly elevates the risk profile across multiple states today. * Flood watches are currently in effect across parts of Arizona, California, and Nevada due to persistent rain. * Southern Utah is under a winter weather advisory with ongoing mountain snow expected to impact travel. * Texas has activated emergency resources in anticipation of heavy rain and flooding threats over the coming days. * The Storm Prediction Center has designated a marginal risk for severe weather from North Texas to southern Missouri. * Hawaii's Big Island summits continue to face winter weather advisories due to potential snowfall and icy conditions.

As Thanksgiving approaches, many Americans are gathering to reflect on gratitude, family—and of course—food. It's the time of year when we may think about the so-called "First Thanksgiving" and imagine scenes of Pilgrims and Native peoples gathering in Massachusetts to share in the bounty of their fall harvests. But how much do we really know about the food systems and agricultural knowledge of Indigenous peoples of North America? In what ways were the Wampanoag people able to contribute to this harvest celebration—and what have we gotten wrong about their story? Michael Wise, Associate Professor of History at the University of North Texas and author of Native Foods: Agriculture, Indigeneity, and Settler Colonialism in American History, joins us to challenge four persistent myths about Indigenous food practices. Discover how Native communities shaped and stewarded the land and its agriculture long before European colonists arrived—and why this history matters more than we might think.

In August 1970, 26-year-old schoolteacher Linda Jane Phillips, daughter of Kaufman County School Superintendent Jimmy Phillips, vanished while driving home from a Dallas wedding party. Two days later, her mutilated body was discovered in a hedgerow near Post Oak, Texas.The case shocked Kaufman County—a quiet, rural community east of booming Dallas—and became one of North Texas's most haunting unsolved murders. Investigators found her car abandoned along Farm Road 1641, its window shattered, her clothing scattered along the roadside for nearly a mile. Despite hundreds of volunteers searching and an intensive investigation led by Sheriff Roy Brockway, no suspect was found.Over the following decade, a wave of similarly brutal killings of women swept across North and East Texas. Lawmen speculated about a single “lust killer” operating around Dallas, connecting Linda's death to others in Garland, Irving, Plano, and Grapevine. Yet no pattern held.Then, in 1984, serial confessor Henry Lee Lucas—already infamous for hundreds of claimed murders—pleaded guilty to Linda's killing. Kaufman County briefly marked the case “cleared.” But Lucas's confession later fell apart. Records showed he was still in Michigan at the time of her death.Fifty-five years later, Linda's murder remains officially unsolved. What endures is the picture of a kind, capable young woman caught between the growing city and the fading quiet of small-town Texas—and a reminder of how easily a search for closure can bury the truth.If you have information about the murder of Linda Jane Phillips, please contact the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office at (972) 932-4337.Sources: The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Tyler Morning Telegraph, The San Antonio Express-News, The Odessa American, The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, The Longview Daily News, The McKinney Courier-Gazette, The Austin American-Statesman, The Brownsville Herald, The Mesquite Daily News, and Henry Lee Lucas filesYou can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

The main event this week was the NFL, starting with a passionate take on the league's international push into places like Madrid, Brazil, and Australia. The crew agrees that while it's a win for the NFL brand, it's a "raw deal" for players due to the travel disrupting their prep and rhythm, leading to a call for increased player compensation and a complete end to Thursday Night Football (unless both teams are coming off a bye week). The discussion then turned to the Eagles, where defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is single-handedly "saving their season" with a masterful scheme, drawing comparisons to legendary DC Jim Johnson. However, the offense is a different story; while talented, the play-calling is critiqued as "ridiculous," and the team is dealing with the "massive loss" of Lane Johnson on the offensive line.   Elsewhere, the AFC playoff picture is described as "boring," with teams like the Steelers and Jaguars, and the Kansas City Chiefs' 5-5 record is raising eyebrows about whether they can even secure the 10 wins needed to make the postseason. In the NFC, the West is shaping up to be the most terrifying division, with the Rams, Seahawks, and 49ers all looking like teams you "would not want to get anywhere near" in the playoffs. Ultimately, the consensus prediction for this year is that defense will win the championship, favoring teams like the Broncos, Rams, and Eagles. The episode wraps up the NFL segment with a breakdown of the Plaxico betting picks, where House is leading at 9-21. An intriguing discussion about the Group of Five team getting the 12th playoff seed pits the American Conference (AAC) against the Sun Belt, specifically setting up a potential winner-take-all matchup between Tulane and North Texas for that coveted spot, although James Madison is also in the running. Before diving into the gridiron, the episode also touches on the NBA, celebrating Cade Cunningham becoming the sixth active NBA player with a Nike shoe deal.

Every few years, conversations about education in the U.S. circle back to the same refrain: Why can't we be more like Finland?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chrishawn Finister from Your Joy Psychological, PLLC to unpack this comparison.We dig into the nuanced relationship between educational eligibility and clinical diagnosis, which often overlap but aren't interchangeable. From there, we widen the lens to explore the broader systems-level challenges that shape how students are identified, supported, and served.Some key themes we discuss:✅ Orthographic density and literacy: Why differences in written language systems matter when comparing reading outcomes across countries.✅ Population homogeneity and “education tracks”: When we look at instructional outcomes data, the students included in the education system and the numbers matter. Are the same individuals “counting” when we compare results across countries? ✅ Teacher pay and professional identity: What Finland's investment in teacher preparation and salary looks like compared to the U.S. (spoiler alert: Dr. Finister and I both think the US should be more like Finland on this one). ✅ Cultural perceptions of medicine vs. education: Why recommendations from evaluations are perceived differently depending on the setting and who is making decisions about services.✅ Housing instability and socioeconomic factors: We're educating students with complex needs in the US who have varying experiences outside of school. With this in mind, has the education system made more progress than what the media is saying? Rather than looking for a one-size-fits-all solution, we highlight why U.S. educators, policymakers, and clinicians need to understand the challenges and opportunities when designing systems of support.If you've ever wondered where the lines between clinical diagnosis and educational eligibility blur, this conversation will give you a grounded perspective.Dr. Chrishawn Finister is an Independent Practicing Licensed Psychological Associate and a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology, possessing over a decade of experience in the role of School Psychologist.

“My limiting belief told me I was limited in the outpatient world. But the truth is, I was already several steps ahead of most people, and that's enough.” - Dr. Amanda ThompsonBurnout is everywhere in healthcare right now. Productivity standards are climbing, providers are stretched to their limits, and rural areas in particular are left patching together care with minimal resources. For many practitioners, the dream of doing integrative, patient-centered work is in their grasp, but imposter syndrome keeps them small. This is your call to action because your help is desperately needed.Physical therapists, OTs, dietitians, nurses, and other allied health professionals are uniquely positioned to transform care in rural and underserved areas. By stepping outside the narrow definitions of rehab and embracing coaching, nutrition, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle medicine, we can become the cornerstones of our clients' health teams. When we lead with active listening and root-cause thinking, we're not just treating symptoms, we're empowering whole people.Today, I'm joined by Dr. Amanda Thompson, a physical therapist and women's health coach who went from rural hospital burnout to founding Rooted Physical Therapy, her thriving ortho-pelvic PT clinic in North Texas. Along her journey, Amanda has overcome her limiting beliefs to build a functional and integrative practice in a rural setting.In this conversation, Amanda and I discuss how her own experiences with fertility struggles, perimenopause, and parenting shaped her clinical approach, how rural practitioners can leverage their “jack of all trades” skills to create lasting impact, the role of active listening in patient care, why pelvic health can't be siloed from nutrition or mental health, how to reframe imposter syndrome into confidence, and more.If you feel held back by burnout or the fear that you don't know enough, Amanda's story is an inspiring blueprint of how to break through.

In the early hours of June 23, 1985, fourteen-year-old Jennifer Leigh Day opened Preston Road Donuts in North Dallas for her usual Sunday shift. She brewed the coffee, stocked the shelves, and rang up her last customer at 6:20 a.m. Fifteen minutes later, the shop was silent. Jennifer's purse and jewelry sat untouched on the counter, her apron on the floor, and the cash drawer still full.Three days later, construction workers discovered her body in a field off Preston Road and State Highway 121 in Plano—eleven miles north. Jennifer had been bludgeoned and stabbed through the throat.Her murder shook a city that believed it was safe. Detectives followed every lead, chased sightings of a white 1970s sedan, and combed the area for evidence, but the case went cold within weeks.Jennifer's mother, Patsy Day, turned heartbreak into advocacy, helping other families navigate life after violent loss. Decades later, the case remains unsolved, but her daughter's story endures as one of North Texas' most haunting reminders of how quickly ordinary moments can change forever.If you have any information about the abduction and murder of Jennifer Leigh Day, please contact the Plano Police Department's Crimes Against Persons Unit at (972) 941-2148, or go to this Plano Police website where you can submit a tip anonymously: https://www.planocoldcases.com/case/1985-7/jennifer-leigh-daySources: The Plano Star-Courier, The Dallas Morning News, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, KXAS-TV archives accessed on texashistory.unt.eduYou can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

“My job is to make people love choral music as much as I do, and that's a lot. I really love choral music. My job is to say ‘you should care about this.' You might care about it because it's ravishingly beautiful or because it has a story to tell you. Even if you're not a person who relates to choral music, you can relate to stories. We're going to weave some sort of through-line through this program that tells you something about life that we hope resonates with you whether you're a musician or not.”Joshua Habermann is in his seventeenth season as Artistic Director of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, one of the nation's premiere professional chamber choirs. Since joining the ensemble, he has broadened its repertoire to include choral-orchestral masterworks and unique concert experiences ranging from early music to new commissions. Under his leadership, the Desert Chorale has been featured at regional and national conferences of the American Choral Directors Association, and its summer and winter festivals are among America's largest choral events.Habermann's experience with symphonic choruses spans over three decades, encompassing the full range of the choral-orchestral repertoire. From 2011 to 2022 he was director of the Dallas Symphony Chorus, where highlights included Bach's St. Matthew Passion, the Requiem Masses of Mozart, Brahms, and Verdi, Elgar's Dream of Gerontius, Bernstein's Kaddish Symphony, Rachmaninov's The Bells, and Vaughan-Williams' Sea Symphony. He is a frequent guest conductor, and in 2022-2023 prepared Handel's Messiah, Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe, and Benjamin Britten's War Requiem for the San Francisco Symphony.A passionate advocate for music education, Joshua Habermann is a regular clinician for state and national events and has led honor choirs and choral festivals in North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. In 2024, he conducted Cantatas 72, 73 and 92 for Bach Santiago (Chile), a concert series dedicated to the first full cycle of Bach Cantatas in South America. He currently teaches choral literature at the University of North Texas.As a singer (tenor), Habermann has performed with the Oregon Bach Festival Chorus under Helmuth Rilling and Conspirare under Craig Hella Johnson. Recording credits include Requiem and Threshold of Night, both GRAMMY® nominees for best choral recording. Recordings as a conductor include The Road Home and Rachmaninov's All Night Vigil with the Desert Chorale.To get in touch with Joshua, you can find him on Facebook (@joshua.habermann) or visit the Santa Fe Desert Chorale website, desertchorale.org.Email choirfampodcast@gmail.com to contact our hosts.Podcast music from Podcast.coPhoto in episode artwork by Trace Hudson

The Freedom of Surrender: Forty Devotions for a Joyful Life in ChristFind joy and freedom in surrenderLetting go is hard.To surrender is to let go of what we tightly grip, the good and the bad. It's a relinquishing of control, a recognition that God alone can meet our deepest needs. It's a holy pause that entrusts each hope, each worry, and each pressing concern to the One whose love for us is beyond measure. And in this surrender, we enter into freedom. But, even so, letting go often feels easier said than done.In The Freedom of Surrender, author Mary DeMuth invites you to journey through forty days of entrusting specific areas of your life to God―your inner struggles, your family, your expectations, your regrets, your ministry, your grief, your relationships, your job, your health, your finances, your future, and more. Every daily devotion includes Scripture, prayer, and Mary's original art that help you cast each care on the One who cares for you.On this forty-day journey, you'll learn:How to trust that God is in control, even in moments of chaos and stress.True joy and freedom can happen when we release what we're holding too tightly.God's plan is to see you thrive and grow.Prayer opens the door to freedom and peace.Even in your struggles, you are never alone.When we entrust our stresses and worries to God, we embrace the reality that's always been true: Our “control” is an illusion. God alone can meet our needs, heal our wounds, and guide our steps. From this place of total reliance on God, we can experience deep joy and the peace that passes understanding.What are you holding too tightly? Experience freedom as you invite Jesus to help you surrender all.Purchase a copy of Making Marriage Easier here.Connect with Mary DeMuthWebsite | Facebook | X | Instagram | YouTubeMary loves Jesus. And really that's the most important thing about her. It's not writing or speaking or praying or mommying or any other -ing you can find. She flat out loves Him. Why? Because he has utterly, truly, completely re-storied her. See her testimony below.She has three adult children, and she's been married to Patrick for 33 years now. Mary counts those relationships as the most important people in her life. In the mid 2000s, their family helped plant a church in Southern France–a difficult, but amazing experience. In her spare (ha!) time, she loves to cook, run, garden, decorate, paint, and do interior design. You can find all her artwork here.She's been writing for 30+ years–half of them in obscurity. She mentored many writers during that time, and continues to do so through the Rockwall Christian Writers Group and some of her  instructional books. Mary pioneered a literary agency in 2022, Mary DeMuth Literary, where she shepherds writers toward traditional publishing.She currently lives in North Texas, serves in her local church alongside her husband, and she's had the privilege of speaking around the world in places like Johannesburg, Monaco, Geneva, Munich, Port-au-Prince, Nice and Florence. Although her past story is difficult, her current story leaks adventure.Not only has Mary been restored and restoried, but she longs to see the same for you. You no longer have to live haunted. I believe your new story starts today. Carl Bard wrote, “Though no one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending.”Paul reminds us of this important truth: “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT). Living in retrospect is a bad idea. It's time to heal, be set free, and find the new story God has for you. Mary has experienced God turning her storm into a story, moving her from a bitter story into a bigger one. Won't you join her on the adventure?

Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Trey Haley.

What a chaotic week in college football — and not just on the field. Between the YouTube TV–Disney dispute and a string of bizarre finishes, fans everywhere were forced to get creative to follow along. From Miami’s playoff hopes going up in smoke against SMU to Georgia Tech's road loss against NC State and Duke's shootout win over Clemson we had drama, penalties, and questionable officiating in equal measure. Plus, Georgia barely escaped Florida, Texas nearly coughed one up to Vandy, and Oklahoma won in Knoxville over Tennessee.Elsewhere, Texas Tech exploded in the second half against Kansas State, West Virginia capitalized on Houston’s fumble-fest, and Ohio State torched Penn State behind a nearly flawless Julian Sayin. Add in Indiana murdering Maryland, USC surviving Nebraska, and a bunch of quietly telling results across the Power Four, and it’s safe to say that College Football Week 10 lived up to the hype. We break it all down, plus play your Reverbs and close it out with the Dudes of the week.
