Links Autism in Christ's Church Church Disabilities Help Disability Specialist in the Handbook Navigating Autism as a Church Leader | An Interview with Michele Portlock Why Your Ward Needs a Disabilities Specialist | A How I Lead Interview with Anna Rast Leading Those with Special Needs | An Interview with Stan Beagley Creating a Culture of Inclusion and Acceptance Meeting the Needs of our Special Needs Children Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights In this episode, Liberty and Robert discuss their book, Autism in Christ's Church, which aims to provide insights and resources for Latter-day Saints regarding autism and how to create inclusive church environments. They emphasize the importance of understanding the diverse experiences of individuals on the autism spectrum and the role of disability specialists in supporting these individuals and their families. Key Insights Diversity of Autism Experiences: Autism is a spectrum, and individuals experience it differently. The book shares various stories that highlight these unique experiences, emphasizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to supporting individuals with autism in the church. Role of Disability Specialists: Disability specialists are crucial in church settings, providing tailored support to individuals with autism. Their presence can significantly enhance the church experience for both individuals and their families. Communication and Collaboration: Effective communication between parents, leaders, and disability specialists is essential. Regular meetings and open dialogue can help create a supportive environment that meets the needs of individuals with autism. Social Skills Development: Leaders should focus on helping individuals with autism develop social skills through structured interactions and support, especially during transitional phases like moving into young men's or young women's groups. Utilizing Strengths: Individuals with autism often have unique strengths and interests. Leaders should identify these strengths and provide opportunities for individuals to contribute meaningfully to the church community. Leadership Applications Empower Disability Specialists: Leaders should actively call and support disability specialists in their wards, ensuring they have the resources and training needed to assist individuals with autism effectively. Foster Inclusive Environments: Create a culture of understanding and acceptance by encouraging open discussions about autism and providing training for leaders and members on how to interact positively with individuals on the spectrum. Encourage Participation: Leaders can help individuals with autism find suitable callings that align with their strengths, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose within the church community. 00:04:11 - Origin of the Book "Autism in Christ's Church" 00:04:54 - Robert's Expertise in Special Education 00:06:28 - Resources for Latter-day Saints and Autism 00:07:15 - Structure of the Book: Stories and Experiences 00:08:48 - Liberty's Background with Autism 00:09:36 - Robert's Journey into Special Education

In this week's Ag Tribes Report, Vance Crowe is joined by fifth-generation Texas Panhandle farmer Casey Kimbrell for a fast, candid breakdown of three stories rocking agriculture. They unpack the touted Trump–Xi "soybean breakthrough," asking whether a 25 MMT annual commitment is progress or just a return to pre-trade-war status quo. Then they wade into the renewed push for mandatory country-of-origin labeling in beef, the packer vs. rancher incentives behind the current system, and why transparency matters more than ever. They close the news block with Bill Gates' pivot from climate alarmism toward prioritizing vaccines, and what a shift in climate narratives could mean for farm economics and regulations. Beyond the headlines, Casey shares his Bitcoin-to-land price snapshot from Colorado, explains why he believes anyone can succeed in agriculture with relentless optimism and grit, and names Donald Trump as his "worthy adversary" amid criticism of recent moves affecting cattle markets. It's a spirited, no-spin conversation about trade, labeling, climate, and the hard realities of building a future in ag—always with room to respectfully disagree.Legacy Interviews - A service that records individuals and couples telling their life stories so that future generations can know their family history. https://www.legacyinterviews.com/experienceRiver.com - Invest in Bitcoin with Confidence https://river.com/signup?r=OAB5SKTP https://river.com/invite?r=OAB5SKTP
Catherine (Space and Time) breaks down why blockchains alone can't power complex apps—and how a verifiable, decentralized database with ZK proofs closes the gap for enterprises, devs, and AI agents. We cover: what SxT is, how its patented ZK approach offloads compute to a single node and proves correctness on-chain, why institutional adoption is sticky, and marketing tactics that actually work in Web3 (what to outsource vs keep in-house).

Today we shine a spotlight on Louisiana Grass Roots, a compelling new documentary produced by Dr. Phyllis Baudoin Griffard and directed by Jillian Godshall. This film captures the voices of everyday Louisianians working to preserve our state's environmental and cultural heritage, highlighting powerful grassroots movements shaping our future. Jillian and Phyllis join us to share the inspiration behind the documentary, the stories that moved them most, and why community-driven action matters now more than ever. This episode is also special on a personal note—Jan Swift's daughter, Kelly, who works in the film industry at the Manship Theater, made this introduction. Even though we all live and work in the same region, this documentary brought us together in a way that highlights what community truly means in South Louisiana. About the Filmmakers – In Their Own Words Director Jillian Godshall began by expressing gratitude for the local connection that made this collaboration possible. “I am a filmmaker. I'm also an educator. I've been doing both for over 15 years at this point. It's taken me all over the world. I'm really glad to be here in Lafayette doing that work as well.” Her background is deeply rooted in documentary storytelling: “My background in filmmaking is mostly in documentary filmmaking. I've worked on big budget, large scale reality TV show stuff—don't tell anyone—and all the way down to where I feel most comfortable now, which is working on smaller-scale independent projects, having more of the creative leadership role, directing and being super involved in every aspect of production.” Jillian also teaches video editing to incarcerated students through an organization called The Last Mile: “I currently teach video editing to incarcerated students… and work with Phyllis, hang out with Phyllis, plant plants with Phyllis.” Producer Dr. Phyllis Baudoin Griffard shared her deep Louisiana roots and her global experience in science education: “I'm from Lafayette originally, grew up all over the South… I got a degree from USL in zoology and then went off to graduate school in biochemistry. I came back to Louisiana and started teaching at Xavier University, and I knew then that's what I wanted to do.” Phyllis' work has always focused on connecting people to the land and ecology around them: “Even as a biologist and teaching university students, I always was looking for local examples and to reconnect students outside the textbook to the biology that's in their own backyard.” She emphasized the importance of place in identity: “When I came home, I heard French, I heard the music—you can really connect to this place.” The Origin of Louisiana Grass Roots: A Story Rooted in Place, Memory, and Rediscovery Jillian and Phyllis did not come together through a traditional film industry channel; they were united through a local experience that awakened something deeper. Phyllis explains that after returning to Lafayette and connecting with the Acadiana Master Naturalist Program, she began to understand the importance of the Cajun Prairie through firsthand fieldwork. “One of the topics is about the Cajun prairie… I had learned about the prairie, and I knew about it more from when we lived in Texas, because the people in and around Houston just ooh and ah about the prairie scientists we have over here: Larry Allen, Charles Allen and Malcolm Vidrine, who discovered what they have since called the Cajun Prairie. 2.5 million acres. Most of Southwest Louisiana was part of this prairie, which only less than 1% exists today.” It was during a field trip with the Master Naturalists that she crossed paths with Jillian: “I led one of the field trips and found out that Jill was a filmmaker, and I happened to say, ‘Oh, I just finished doing a film, The Quiet Cajuns, with Conni Castille.' And her ears perked up and she said, ‘Well, I think we should make a film about the prairie.'”

The "sophomore album curse" is a well known worry for musicians around the world. After a strong debut album, expectations rise, labels start being attached to an artist and there's a lot of pressure to perform on the same level to avoid disappointing fans. And while most 2nd albums face that curse or a difficult release, these seiyuu artists actually turned things around and ensured their 2nd album was not only better than their first, but easily one of their best albums ever.Join me for this episode of SEIYUU LOUNGE covering:- Yuma Uchida "Equal"- Soma Saito "in bloom"- Toshiki Masuda "Origin"- UMake "Tripper"This is an unscripted episode of the podcast.

In this episode I debunk the recurring media claim that your zodiac sign has changed by explaining the 2,000-year history of why western astrologers have deliberately used the tropical zodiac. Every few years, headlines circulate claiming that your zodiac sign has changed due to the precession of the equinoxes. Following a recent New York Times article making this claim, I decided to set the record straight. In this episode of The Astrology Podcast, I explain the history behind this recurring narrative and demonstrate why these claims are misleading. We'll explore the difference between the three zodiacs (constellational, sidereal, and tropical) and show how Western astrologers, starting with Claudius Ptolemy nearly 2,000 years ago, made a deliberate and conscious choice to use the tropical zodiac, which is aligned with the seasons, not the constellations. This is not a recent mistake or discovery; it's a foundational principle of the Western astrological tradition that has been understood for centuries by history's most prominent astrologers and astronomers. We will also touch on the issue of the so-called 13th sign, Ophiuchus, and why it doesn't apply to the system most Western astrologers use. My goal is to clarify the history so that you can better understand why your zodiac sign has not changed and feel more equipped to respond to these arguments.

在全世界男权国家的咒骂里,有两种咒骂类型。一种是诅咒脏东西,比如德语之中的“屎!”和中文之中的“臭狗屎!”,另一种是威胁辱女,比如威胁强奸女性,尤其是对方的母亲,是最常见和普遍的类型,也是男性在日常生活中的口语。除了咒骂之外,现代汉语中很多负面的词汇和文字,都与女性相关,比如“嫉妒”、“奸诈“,等等。 男权文字中无处不在的厌女和对女性的暴力威胁,是数千年男权社会积累强化的肮脏遗产,其目的在于巩固男性特权地位,时刻驯化女性,使其对自己的性别自卑自厌,服从于男性居上的性别权力框架。 各国女性在历史上一直努力修改厌女的语言,自进入现代之后,开始有了一些能积累的成果。如中国晚清时期的革命女性,在文章写作中使用“英雌“来形容了不起的女性。而在社交媒体的普及过程里,也有越来越多的年轻女性,开始有意识在公共传播中改造厌女的通用语言。本期海马星球的嘉宾鸟惠,就是其中一位。她的博士课题结合了语言学和计算机的交叉知识,研究厌女语言对人们的影响,并由此在创造一个女性友好的输入法,去掉负面意义的字的女字旁,甚至尝试给积极词汇加女字旁。 在这个创造的过程里,她得到了女导师的大力支持,但也遭遇了很多来自各个方面的压力和威胁,经历了所有变革者经历的挑战,哪怕这个变革看起来不过是很微小的进步。但正是这样的点滴努力,汇聚在一起,构成了更好的明天。 本期提到的文章和书籍: 《A Glimpse of the Change of Female Social Status from Words with radical Nǚ in the Origin of Chinese Characters》by 赵爱武 《说文解字——女部文化阐述研究综述》 《女字旁》浙江人民出版社 by 王洋洋

We finish out Spook Retorts: UK not OK (last minute title, sorry not sorry) with a spin through Scotland. This time, with crabs! That's right, Danielle's bringing it back to a Book Retorts favorite with another killer crustacean masterpiece, The Origin of the Crabs by Guy N. Smith frin 1974. Have you ever wondered what created those crazy man-eating cow-sized crabs? Too bad. This book is not for you. But if you're in it for the click click clickety click of outsized pinchers tearing people limb from limb, leaving them to bob adrift in Scottish lochs, boy are you in luck! When large cat-sized (or hare, your choice) crabs are spotted climbing along the banks of a private loch, Bruce McKechnie, town murderer and all around rich jerk, knows his sporting empire may be at an end. Instead of selling tickets to hunt the now sheepdog-sized crabs (the obvious answer), he tries to keep them hidden as the killer crustaceans slowly take out the townspeople one by one (or en masse, depends on their mood). Will anyone survive to fight the crabs? Will McKechnie's girlfriend make good life choices? Will these baby crabs make it to full cow size? Special guest Filip, from Mind Duck Books, has never been so excited to know, except that last time we did Slugs. He was pretty excited about that.

The Sunday Triple M NRL Catch Up - Paul Kent, Gorden Tallis, Ryan Girdler, Anthony Maroon
Brent Read, David Riccio & Adam Peacock are in studio for another episode of Triple M NRL Daily! The NRL want to buy into the English Super League and have grand plans to fix the game in the northern hemisphere. And after a poor outing in Ashes 1, the problem was there for all to see. Tonga and Samoa put on a great spectacle, albeit the dominant performance from the latter. But did it put the Origin eligibility debate to bed? We also built a team full of every player that is eligible for the Kangaroos and ask, would Australia even struggle if the Pacific Nations continue to grow? We stripped down the international rugby league calendar and build it back up to try grow the game. Could it feature a union type Six Nations? Could we bring in international windows mid-season? And it's almost November 1! Ready & Riccio have major updates on a huge amount of players and clubs. But most notably, the future of Tino Fa'asuamaleaui as Melbourne Storm start to circle!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's finally Halloween! This week we're joined by very spooky guest Alyssa Cooper as we learn about Gef, a talking Mongoose who haunted a rural home on the Isle of Man, how haunted houses share a history with Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, and how unfounded rumors about razor blades in apples continue to ruin trick or treating for everyone.

On this episode, I am joined by Béa Victoria Albina, a trained nurse practitioner, master certified life coach, somatic experiencing practitioner and author of “End Emotional Outsourcing: How to Overcome Your Codependent, Perfectionist, People-Pleasing Habits.” Béa coined the term ‘Emotional Outsourcing', which describes our co-dependent, people pleasing and perfectionistic habits and how these behaviors cost us our joy, authenticity and true connection to self and others. In this episode, we talk about the cost of chronically and habitually outsourcing our sense of safety, belonging and worth. We dive into the root of these behaviours from a cultural and historical perspective and Bea shines a light on how we were trained up to be disconnected from the earth, magic and our own inner wisdom. Tune in to hear more from us on:How emotional outsourcing can influence all aspects of our lives and sense of selfThe true cost of people pleasing, perfectionism and codependency, and its root causesHow shifting to a place of trust is a liberating experience, and how to do thisTrad-wife culture and how to explore femininity as a gateway to empowermentEmotional outsourcing in a facilitator role and finding acceptance and surrender in the process of facilitationHow to learn the body's language through somatic experience and understanding where survival patterns come fromManaging text message overwhelm as a recovering people pleaserResources + LinksBéa Victoria Albina's book ‘End Emotional Outsourcing: How to Overcome Your Codependent, Perfectionist, People-Pleasing Habits'Béa's website beatrizalbina.com and Instagram @beatrizvictoriaalbinanpBéa's podcast ‘The Feminist Wellness podcast'My book, Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the SelfConnect with me on Instagram @beccapiastrelliTimestamps[0:00] What is Emotional Outsourcing [10:55] The Origin of Codependency and Emotional Outsourcing [14:39] Weaponized Femininity and Glorified Codependency [22:04] Facilitating without Emotional Outsourcing [29:28] Practicing and Embodying Self Trust [39:38] Navigating Boundaries and Intimacy [49:00] Managing Text Message Overwhelm as a Recovering People Pleaser [45:20] Bea's Book ‘End Emotional Outsourcing: How to Overcome Your Codependent, Perfectionist, People-Pleasing Habits'

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (1981) was not created during a time period when Bobby Drake was canonically gay, but watching "The Origin of Iceman" sure has Maddy and Ryan wondering about that. Thanks to the return of Video-Man (who has his own origin episode earlier in this series), Bobby Drake loses his mutant powers. Under the pretext of researching why this could have happened, Peter Parker straps Bobby into the university lab's memory machine, which allows Angelica and Peter to watch all of Bobby's embarrassing high school social gaffes on a big-screen TV. We soon learn Bobby would rather create a blizzard than dance with a girl, and even now, he can't manage to sit next to a girl on a couch. Also, this episode has some all-time great J. Jonah Jameson comedy in it, so we're excited to see him as a recurring fixture on this show.

In part one of this podcast series recorded at our recent Corporate Labor and Employment Counsel Exclusive® seminar, Scott Kelly (shareholder, Birmingham), Tae Phillips (shareholder, Birmingham), and Jim Paul (shareholder, St. Louis/Tampa) discuss the EEOC's new enforcement priorities, with a particular focus on national origin discrimination and the agency's increased emphasis on protecting workers from anti-American bias. Tae (who is co-chair of the firm's Drug Testing Practice Group) and Scott (who chairs the firm's Workforce Analytics and Compliance Practice Group) review recent statements from the EEOC's acting chair, highlight the legal definitions and practical implications of national origin discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and share observations about a rise in related EEOC charges. The conversation also touches on the importance for employers to coordinate labor, employment, and immigration practices in light of these evolving enforcement trends.
Podcast 308 – Why Light Up Dunwoody Moved to the Donaldson-Bannister Farm – Jimmy Economos and Tim Brown Light Up Dunwoody is leaving the Burger King parking lot behind and heading to the Donaldson-Bannister Farm. It's a serious vibe upgrade. Jimmy Economos of EEP Events and DHA President Tim Brown share how the event outgrew the Village and found a new home with more space for reindeer, a stage for dancers, and a 26-foot Christmas tree and menorah right by Chamblee-Dunwoody Road. Expect over 80 performers, crafts from Spruill Center to decorate the tree, free Santa pics (with the Santa David), and live music from the Dunwoody High School Marching Band. The band will also be raising money for the Bring It Home campaign to finally give DHS a true home stadium. We also recap the 2025 Candidate Forum, another DHA event. Thanks to EEP Events stepping in with pro-level sound, lights, and live-streaming at Stage Door Theatre, the night went off without a hitch. It gave neighbors a chance to hear directly from candidates and set the bar high for an old tradition with a new digital spin. With DHA, Rough Draft, Stage Door, and EEP teaming up, the forum is poised to become another can't-miss event on the local calendar.

Clay is a familiar face in Sacramento, having worked in the Capitol as a staffer and later as a lobbyist for various firms before launching her own shop. Among her notable wins was leading the lobbying effort to enact The CROWN Act, the first statewide law in the country to prohibit racial discrimination on the basis of natural hairstyles in the workplace and schools.

Generally speaking, it's not a good idea to mess with ants. But several lineages of animals have evolved to be ant-eating specialists. This episode, we discuss anteaters, the suite of adaptations that allow them to focus on ant-eating, and the variety of other species that have evolved similar adaptations for the same purpose. We explore the evolutionary history of ant-eating mammals and even dinosaurs through the fossil record and genetic evidence. In the news: butt-drags, ancient leeches, Neanderthal tracks, and spider genomes.

Founder Arturo Lewin unpacks the drayage grind behind U.S. imports—how Alliance Worldwide Logistics Corp grew from a two-truck hustle into a reliable intermodal carrier by obsessing over turn times, chassis and free-time clocks. The Blue-Collar Twins dig into pricing discipline (detention/demurrage/accessorials), owner-operator recruiting, port/rail expansion, and the culture/tech stack that keeps containers moving when everyone else is stuck at the gate. You'll hear: Port Playbook: dispatch, pre-pulls, and the free-time math that saves customers from five-figure D&D bills.Pricing That Holds: accessorials, fuel, per-diem, and how to educate shippers without losing the relationship.Fleet Strategy: balancing company rigs with owner-ops, safety incentives, and dedicated lanes.Ops Backbone: TMS + ELD + GPS + EDI, photo proof at every milestone, and real-time customer updates.Expansion Moves: port to rail ramp, inland hubs, and when to say no to the wrong freight.People & Culture: training dispatchers to think in “minutes and miles,” not just loads and rates.

Heidi McDonald and Jason Stoner, the passionate duo behind Foodies of Lafayette and the Lafayette Community Fridge Program, join Discover Lafayette. Their mission blends a love for local restaurants with compassion for those facing food insecurity — all while promoting dignity, kindness, and connection within the Lafayette community. The Origin of Foodies of Lafayette Heidi McDonald founded Foodies of Lafayette as a Facebook group to celebrate good restaurants and people in the region, with one caveat — no negativity allowed. “I basically have two careers at this point,” she shared. “I don't think that I fully comprehended in the beginning what it could be, what that impact could be. Jason came on board early on and made me see some things that I didn't — just how it could grow, the organicness of the friendships that were happening and the power behind that.” With over 112,000 followers at the time of recording this interview (and 113,700 a week later), Foodies of Lafayette has become a true culinary movement that uplifts both local restaurants and the people who enjoy them. The Birth of the Lafayette Community Fridge The Lafayette Community Fridge Program came under Foodies' umbrella in late 2024. Jason explained, “The Lafayette Community Fridge was started in 2021 by another group of individuals. By the end of last year, only a couple of people were left, and Erinn Quinn, reached out to us and said, ‘Hey, would you like to take this over as a Foodies thing?'” Jason admitted he felt an instant calling: “I really wanted to take this on. Heidi let me have it. I said, ‘I'll handle most of the work, but I really want this.' So she allowed me to have this baby, and it's dear to me.” Through Foodies' reputation and community reach, people came forward to help. Jason said, "One of our first needs was to collect $30 a month for the electricity at McMillan's Pub to run the utilities for the fridge. We don't want Robin to come out of her pocket. We need to provide that. We had so many people donating that $30 and they're like, how much do you need? Some would say, here's six months. That paid us through 2026.“ How the Fridge Works The Lafayette Community Fridge has two locations — at McMillan's Pub (2905 East Simcoe) in Lafayette and T-Boy's in Abbeville. It is open 24/7 to anyone who needs food or wishes to contribute. And it is not just food that is needed; the sites also need power, regular maintenance, and clean outs. Jason described how restaurants donate fresh, ready-to-eat meals rather than just shelf-stable goods. “There's so much waste,” he said. “Why can't we just be a little more efficient with organizing where it goes instead of the trash can?” He praised Toby and Joey Lagneaux, owners of Lagneaux's, for stepping up early: “We've got a lot of food coming off the buffet daily. Toby said, ‘Absolutely. We've been throwing it away. I would rather it go somewhere.'” To keep meals safe, Taylor's International donated 6,000 three-compartment Styrofoam containers, and Seth Randall of Logic Refrigeration provided a double commercial fridge. “No one touches the food between Lagneaux's and the fridge,” Jason emphasized. “It's picked up and taken directly to the fridge.” Community Participation and Dignity For Heidi, the heart of the program is dignity. “It's not less dignified to need something,” she said. “We just don't know people's stories. What if they're getting it for their entire family? Or for a whole neighborhood because there's only one vehicle? We all have the ability to give back. It's not going to hurt us.” She continued, “Just because someone is coming and picking up a meal from the fridge doesn't necessarily mean that they don't have anything to offer, because we can all help each other. It's been really beautiful watching people come to pick up dinner and then realizing, ‘Oh, I have an extra can of something at home that I haven't been using...
In this soul-stirring episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly sits down with author, speaker, and transformational coach Tracy Litt, whose groundbreaking framework, The Choice Method, helps entrepreneurs bridge the gap between what they know they need to do and what they actually do. Kelly and Tracy dive deep into the neuroscience and spirituality behind decision-making, self-sabotage, and the power of consistency, and how your nervous system plays a bigger role in your results than you realize. If you've been feeling stuck, out of alignment, or like you've lost your spark — this episode will feel like both a wake-up call and a warm hug at the same time. You'll learn: How your nervous system decides whether you play big or stay stuck How to shift from victimhood to personal power and sovereignty The spiritual and scientific foundation behind The Choice Method This is an episode every leader, entrepreneur, and change-maker needs to hear — especially if you're ready to reconnect with your highest potential and reignite your joy. Timestamps: 03:30: Origin story: How the Choice Method was born — and its evolution from private IP to public offer. 07:00: The four neurobiological requirements for change 10:00: Nervous system primer: “Safe vs Unsafe” — why your nervous system resists unfamiliar success and creates sabotage. 13:00: How to settle the nervous system so your prefrontal cortex (decision-maker) returns. 23:00: Identity & the higher self: how to embody the future version of you and execute decisions from that identity. 25:30: Energetics & magnetism: frequency shift when you step into higher-choice leadership 27:30: Breaking cycles of victimhood: emotional addictions, radical responsibility, anger as fuel to exit powerlessness. 29:30: Why high performers are vulnerable when markets shift, and why the Choice Method supports sustainable scaling.

#WDRadio WEEK OF OCT 19, 2025 | In the late 1800s, a journalist uncovered the shocking secret of how medical schools obtained their teaching skeletons: hidden factories in London, Paris, and New York that processed unclaimed morgue bodies and exotic specimens from travelers into 10,000 anatomical skeletons per year, using acid baths, boiling tanks, and skilled anatomists who rarely assembled bones from the same person.==========HOUR ONE: Seeing a lifelike human skeleton in a doctor's office, especially in the past couple of centuries, was – and in many cases still is - commonplace. But where did one go to get such lifelike skeletons if you were a doctor in the 1800s? Why, a skeleton factory, of course! (The Skeleton Factory) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one – living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn't enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn't any better. So it's probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story. (The Lynching of Cattle Kate) *** In March of 2004, teenager Brianna Maitland left work in the late evening hours and was never seen again. To this day it is still one of Vermont's most infamous mysteries. (The Vanishing of Brianna Maitland) *** Plus, “The Haunted Adirondack Mountains”==========HOUR TWO: It is considered by many, Britain's most well-known disappearing person case. Even now, over three decades later, people in the UK are still fascinated and intrigued by the unexplained vanishing of Suzy Lamplugh. (The Suzy Lamplugh Mystery) *** John List planned the murders of his own family so carefully, he almost got away with it. In fact, it took 18 years to catch him. (The Family Man Who Murdered His Family) *** We'll look at what it was like to be a woman in the 17th Century… and accused of witchcraft. (Witchly Accusations) *** If you drink whiskey, or even if you don't, you're likely familiar with “Jameson Irish Whiskey.” But did you know that cannibalism played a part in its history? (Whiskey and Cannibalism) *** A strange phenomenon takes place in Arkansas, and despite the numerous sightings and investigations, there is still no explanation for it.
