In this episode of Cryptid Warfare Podcast, I sit down with author Nicholas to discuss his fascinating book, Genesis 6 and the Ozarks What led Nicholas down the rabbit hole of Genesis 6? Could ancient giants have once inhabited the Missouri Ozarks? Together, we explore the biblical account of the Nephilim, mysterious archaeological discoveries, ancient burial mounds, reported giant skeletons, and the work of Pastor and archaeologist Sterling Newberry. Nicholas shares the years of research that led him to connect Scripture, local history, and archaeological claims in an effort to uncover a forgotten chapter of America's past. We also discuss how Genesis 6 continues to shape the worldview of many Christians, why giant traditions appear across numerous cultures, and how believers can approach these topics with discernment while keeping God's Word as the ultimate authority. Whether you're interested in biblical history, archaeology, the Nephilim, or the mysteries surrounding the Ozarks, this conversation will challenge you to think deeper about one of the Bible's most debated passages.

A historic Spring River flood wiped out 50% of the state hatchery's fish. Then the Norfork National Fish Hatchery — which stocks 40% of all trout in Arkansas — lost millions of fish to catastrophic water quality failures inside their own tanks. The result: permanent reduced limits, catch-and-release-only sections, and a two-year road to recovery. This is the inside story most anglers never hear. Whether you're a weekend warrior, a guide, or a dad planning your son's first trout trip — this episode explains what happened, why the fishery is still worth fishing, and what it'll take to fix it for good.

Hour 1 of The Marc Cox Morning Show opens with Marc's own Lake of the Ozarks adventure — a monster bass and a terrifying 70 mph storm — before diving into the FIFA/Team USA soccer controversy and a full-throated defense of President Trump against the left's reflexive outrage. Marc and Kim tear through the collapsing Graham Plattner scandal in Maine, The View's unhinged American flag comments, and the absurd backlash against Sammy Hagar for honoring America's 250th birthday. Kim on a Whim tackles the end of DOGE and Missouri's own fight over Amendment 5, with an assist from Riley Gaines calling out California's crime stat games. Marc closes the hour making the conservative case for personal responsibility on the water and at the ballot box, urging listeners not to fall for scare tactics on eliminating the state income tax. Buckle up — Hour 2 brings Scott Rosenblum, Mark Walters, and John Lamping.

Hour 2 of The Marc Cox Morning Show opens with more storm stories from the Lake of the Ozarks before Marc and Kim tackle the Missouri Realtors Association's misleading Amendment 5 ads and give credit where it's due on Metro Transit's overdue security upgrades. The St. Louis Morning Brief exposes a chaotic Spanish Lake teen takeover, a Mark Twain building drug crackdown, and another Ameren rate hike squeezing Missouri families. Guest John Lamping delivers the real story behind Mike Parson's state plane scandal, Governor Kehoe's tough budget calls, and an honest breakdown of who wins under Amendment 5. In Other News closes things out with a mortar scare on a Chicago flight, a new Florida transparency law for restaurant fees, and an unexpected bull shark catch in North Carolina. Accountability, common sense, and a few laughs along the way — that's this hour on The Marc Cox Morning Show. Hour 3 is coming up next.

Today's Marc Cox Morning Show delivered four hours of unapologetic common-sense talk for St. Louis and beyond. Marc opened with his own storm-tossed Lake of the Ozarks getaway before defending Team USA and President Trump against a wave of left-wing outrage over the FIFA controversy. Kim on a Whim tackled the end of DOGE, Missouri's Amendment 5 tax fight, and later questioned whether Supreme Court justices are drifting into celebrity activism. The St. Louis Morning Brief exposed a chaotic Spanish Lake teen takeover, a crime-ridden Mark Twain building, and another Ameren rate hike squeezing families. Guest John Lamping broke down Governor Parson's state plane scandal and Governor Kehoe's tough budget calls, while John Mack showed off the head-turning Mark Cox moving billboard touring St. Louis. On 2A Tuesday, Armed American Radio's Mark Walters predicted a resounding Supreme Court win for AR-15 owners, and In Other News rounded up a mortar scare on a Chicago flight and a startling North Carolina shark catch. The show's final hour brought defense attorney Scott Rosenblum's breakdown of the Castle Doctrine in the Wing Haven road rage case, Ryan Wiggins' hard data linking illegal immigration to America's housing crisis, and a closing look at Democrats finally abandoning Graham Platner's imploding Senate campaign. Faith, family, freedom, and common sense — that's every single day on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge kick off Hour 2 on July 1st fired up and ready to work. Marc connects China's state-sponsored birth tourism operation directly to the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling, warning that Beijing is manufacturing future American voters while Roberts and Barrett hand them the win. The St. Louis Morning Brief brings a deadly road rage killing on I-64 in O'Fallon, Governor Kehoe's sweeping $500 million budget veto that axes police training facilities and school funding, St. Louis Public Schools announcing the closure of 20 buildings, and the Festus data center developer scaling back under community pressure. Business reporter Nicole Murray joins to break down a market snapshot that mirrors the heat outside — record global M&A activity at $2.8 trillion, Iran selling oil at a 20% premium post-naval blockade, a $6.8 million jury verdict against SSM Health for sex discrimination, and mortgage rates inching down. Marc celebrates his upcoming birthday Lake of the Ozarks trip and the crew debates the legend of Party Cove. Then In Other News lands with Supergirl's catastrophic box office bomb, FBI debunking every Nancy Guthrie ransom note, a Florida firefighter accidentally rescuing a coyote, a bull rider trampled at a New York City rodeo, and Minneapolis legalizing sex venues days before its Pride Parade — capping the hour with Marc's call to fence off Minnesota and let socialism and degeneracy destroy itself.

It's Wednesday and that means Jimmy Failla, host of Fox Across America, is on the Marc Cox Morning Show — and he does not disappoint. Jimmy kicks things off with the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Madison Square Garden wedding buzz before pivoting to a take that every married man in America will appreciate: nobody actually wants to go to your destination wedding, and Taylor Swift accidentally doing guests a favor by keeping it local. Then California gets the Jimmy Failla treatment — homeless former swimsuit models on the boulevard, NGOs getting rich keeping people on the streets, and a political class handing out needles instead of rehab because there is simply too much money in the misery industry. Jimmy and Marc then light up the WNBA's Sophie Cunningham situation, pointing out that finger-pointing at Caitlin Clark while Clark and Cunningham together account for 70% of all WNBA jersey sales is the single dumbest business decision in women's sports history. Plus Jimmy previews his packed fall tour schedule, shares a Lake of the Ozarks meet-and-greet story involving a drunk Corvette owner who never figured out Jimmy never actually drove his car, and wishes the Marc Cox Morning Show a happy Fourth of July weekend.

00:00-01:01: Introduction to the "Weather with Enthusiasm" episode, focusing on the unusual heat moving into Chicago, hotter than St. Louis, and especially significant in Wisconsin.01:01-02:03: Discussion of the developing heat wave, high dew points in Wisconsin (forecasted to hit 80 degrees), and the hidden danger of high dew points making temperatures feel much warmer.02:03-03:06: Explanation of wet bulb temperatures, their dangerous levels (84-86 degrees, with wet bulb globe temperatures possibly hitting 88-90 degrees), and the 95-degree wet bulb temperature as the upper limit of human survival.03:06-04:10: National Weather Service guidance on wet bulb temperatures and human survival, historical comparisons of high wet bulb temperatures in Texas, India, and the Persian Gulf, and the rare occurrence of 95-97 degree dew points.04:10-05:10: Comparison of the current heat wave to typical St. Louis summer weather and the 1994 heat wave, noting higher heat indices this time (close to 110 degrees), and the unique situation in central Wisconsin with 80-degree dew points and 105-degree heat indices despite lower air temperatures.05:10-06:22: Reasons for lower temperatures in some areas (thunderstorm development, cloud cover, "Ring of Fire" effect), comparison to the 1995 heat wave, and the impact of water temperatures (Mississippi River, Lake of the Ozarks) on dew points.06:22-07:25: Geographic areas with highest dew points (cornfields of southwest Indiana, southern Illinois, Mississippi River area between Iowa and Illinois), lack of impact from Ozark Plateau breeze, and expected conditions for St. Louis and Chicago. Mention of Baltimore's drier dew points but more efficient solar heating leading to triple-digit heat.07:25-08:27: The heat dome reaching a record geographical height (600 decameters), comparison to the 1995 heat wave (which was stronger in terms of temperatures and humidity), and the "biggest shocker" being Wisconsin's 80-degree dew points.08:27-09:33: Reflection on previous podcasts and the "spark of enthusiasm," mentioning the "cold blob" in the Atlantic Ocean, and the strengthening of the heat dome affecting Chicago more definitively than initially thought.09:33-10:33: The Baltimore National Weather Service's insights and the common pattern of intense storms breaking the heat dome, especially in St. Louis. Importance of heat safety tips and resources from the National Weather Service.10:33-10:44: Closing remarks, wishing listeners a good day.20 Hashtags:#HeatWave#WeatherEnthusiasm#WisconsinWeather#ChicagoHeat#DewPointDanger#WetBulbTemperature#HeatDome#ClimateChange#ExtremeWeather#HumanSurvival#NationalWeatherService#MidwestHeat#GulfCoastHeat#WeatherUpdate#HeatIndex#SummerHeat#WeatherForecast#HeatSafety#UnusualWeather#PhenomenalHeatBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.Weather with Enthusiasm is produced by Kol Simcha Productions.New episodes drop daily (B'N)— a morning forecast at 7 AM and historical deep dives Tuesdays and Thursdays. Contact: kolsimchaproductions@outlook.comHistorical content is thoroughly researched and factually verified.

This week, Tennessee based old-time string quartet The Stones River Reelers recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park's annual Stringband Music & Arts Festival. Every October, the Ozark Folk Center State Park holds its annual Stringband Music & Arts Festival. It's two days of lively stringband music & dance, handcrafted art, fine Southern cuisine, and old-fashioned fun. The festival includes live shows on Friday and Saturday featuring acclaimed bands from the Ozarks and beyond. The Stones River Reelers are a Tennessee based traditional oldtime quartet. Self described as “Hardcore traditional music from the heart of the Volunteer State,” they are Andrew Larson on guitar, Michal Klug on fiddle, Seth Shumate playing harmonica, and Aaron Stephens on banjo. The Reelers recreate not only the sound but also the feel and flair of early American “hillbilly” dance music of the 78 speed records era. Why do they do it? According to their website: “Like all the great old-timers, we play this venerated music to avoid hard labor.” - https://stonesriverreelers.com/about In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1974 archival recording of original OHR host and clawhammer banjo Jedi Mark Jones along with Lynn Young, performing the traditional song “John Henry,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins discusses the exact location of the Ozark region. Where the Ozarks are and where they're not.

In the Ozarks, people have always lived in rhythm with the natural world. Hunting, fishing, and living off the land, aren't just things we do, it's who we are. And though our lives are inextricably linked to the land we live on, we've never been more disconnected from it. So join us, as we travel across the region to bring you the voices of the Ozarks to deepen your connection with the land, sharpen your skills in the outdoors, and help you learn what it means to be an Ozarker.

Brock and Jon welcome Hayley from Heirloom Event Company to the IDOIQ Podcast for a fun, honest, and insight-packed conversation about weddings, planning, vendor teamwork, and what makes a wedding actually feel personal.The episode kicks off with wild wedding speech stories, including a bride's dad who found the perfect way to shut down an endless lineup of groom-family speeches. Hayley shares one of her own early wedding horror stories involving a father-of-the-bride speech that lasted 52 minutes, proving once again that sometimes the most important wedding planning skill is knowing when to move things along.Hayley talks about growing up around Branson, moving through the TV and production world in Los Angeles and Chicago, and eventually finding her way into weddings. What started as a desire to bring people together through monthly events turned into planning weddings, building a team, and creating Heirloom Event Company, a brand focused on meaningful, timeless, and highly personal events.The conversation digs into what makes Heirloom different, including Hayley's commitment to radical transparency with couples. She talks about educating clients on real wedding costs, being honest about venues and vendors, helping couples avoid budget surprises, and making sure they understand what they are actually paying for. Brock, Jon, and Hayley also compare notes on how DJs and planners work together behind the scenes to keep a wedding flowing smoothly.They also cover the reality of wedding timelines, why couples should not overbook the dance floor, how late-night snacks can become an experience, and why great events are moving beyond “standard wedding” into something more interactive. From oyster shucking and Chicago dogs to mariachi bands, saxophonists, custom wedding merch, trucker hats, and branded cowboy hats, Hayley shares trends that are already popular in larger cities and may be heading toward Northwest Arkansas.The episode also includes plenty of classic IDOIQ humor, including strange wedding venues, tarped fences, cow-pie DJ setups, stripper pole surprise receptions, sword cake-cuttings, black-tie weddings with beer pong, Branson memories, Silver Dollar City talk, and the difference between big-city wedding expectations and Ozarks wedding culture.Hayley also shares what she hopes couples feel when they look back on their wedding: that they were truly able to enjoy the day instead of managing it. She emphasizes personal details, family memories, labeled memorial tables, recipes, heirlooms, and meaningful touches that help guests understand the couple's story.It is a great episode for couples planning a wedding, vendors who want better teamwork, and anyone curious about where Northwest Arkansas weddings may be headed next. 

Something in the Water - Part One Six friends arrive at Table Rock Lake in the summer of 2010 expecting a quiet week in the Ozarks—swimming, boating, and long evenings beneath the Missouri stars. What they find instead is a place with a history far older than the dam that created it. This week on The Devil Within, we begin a three-part campfire case rooted in documented history, Indigenous tradition, and the uneasy possibility that some places remember what was buried beneath them. When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed Table Rock Dam in 1958, they flooded an entire valley, submerging roads, foundations, churches, and whole communities beneath more than 43,000 acres of water. But the flooded towns were not the first things to disappear from this landscape. Long before the lake existed, the Osage people lived along the White River and carried stories of powerful beings dwelling beneath the water. Among them was a mysterious figure known across the Mississippi watershed as the Underwater Panther—a guardian of thresholds, deep places, and the dangerous boundary between worlds. Then one swimmer feels an impossible cold in the middle of an August afternoon. Something brushes against her ankle. The next day, someone else is pulled beneath the surface. And before the week is over, the group begins to wonder whether the lake is merely covering something—or keeping it. Because some waters are deeper than they appear. And some things beneath them are still waiting.

About the Show:"I always want to have that posture of, like, what can I learn? How can I grow?" – Danielle KellerDanielle Keller didn't plan on becoming the steward of Northwest Arkansas's most beloved family magazine. She moved from California to Arkansas, built a life here as a mother and filmmaker, and somewhere along the way fell in love with the kind of community storytelling that big media rarely gets right.In this episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas®, Randy Wilburn sits down with Danielle to talk about her journey—from film and podcasting to relaunching Peekaboo Magazine in August 2025 with a bigger, higher-quality print edition that bets on something most people have written off.She makes the case for print in a digital world. Not as nostalgia. As intention.Personal essays from local parents, in-person community events, and real voices from across NWA — Peekaboo is proof that a magazine can still be a gathering place. This conversation is a reminder that the stories closest to home are often the ones worth telling most.Key Takeaways:Embrace Change and Growth: It's never too late to start something new or pivot your career—real growth often happens later in life.The Importance of Storytelling: Personal stories connect people and help communities feel seen, valued, and understood.Relationships Matter: Building relationships is key to both personal success and community building; everyone has something to offer.The Power of Local Media: Hyper-local publications like Peekaboo give a platform to everyday stories and voices that otherwise might not be heard.Print Isn't Dead: There's a renewed appreciation for tangible, high-quality media that people can hold, share, and keep on their coffee tables.Community Support: Sharing vulnerable stories can lead to compassion and real community action, supporting those who need it most.Be Inclusive: Not everyone is an extrovert—seek out and include those on the fringe, and help everyone feel welcome.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Peekaboo magazine websitePeekaboo magazine on Facebook:Peekaboo magazine on LinkedIn:Peekaboo magazine on Instagram: @peekaboomagazinenwaPeople of Northwest Arkansas PodcastFayetteville Public LibraryDogpatch USA (featured in Danielle Keller's documentary work)John Brown University (JBU)Bentonville Film FestivalParkside Public (casual date night spot)Confident Coffee (favorite coffee shop)You can pick up a physical copy of Peekaboo magazine at local libraries, museums, and family-focused spots throughout Northwest Arkansas—from Fayetteville to Bella Vista and Siloam Springs.This episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"*Note: some of the resources mentioned may be affiliate links.

10 Strangest Missouri Cryptids - Missouri isn't just the "Show-Me State"—it's a land of deep, ancient hollows, winding riverbeds, and limestone caves that hide secrets dating back centuries. While the Midwest is often seen as quiet farmland, those who live near the Ozark hills or the banks of the "Big Muddy" know better. From the stinking, hair-raising terror of the Momo sightings in the 1970s to the protective, shimmering spirits of the Joplin Butterfly People, Missouri is a hotbed of high-strangeness. In tonight's episode, we step off the marked trails and into the shadows to count down the 10 strangest cryptids and urban legends ever reported in Missouri. Whether they are biological anomalies, interdimensional visitors, or the stuff of pure nightmare, these entities prove that the heartland is far more mysterious than it appears. In this video, we explore: The blood-curdling cry of the Ozark Howler. The 12-foot-tall aggressive giant known as the Beaman Monster. The grotesque, light-hating Ratman of Kansas City. ...and the elusive Jimplicute, a phantom that stalks the Ozark Highlands.

Chairman Jason Smith of the House Ways and Means Committee joins the Try That In A Small Town podcast from CMA Fest in Nashville. He breaks down what the powerful Ways and Means Committee actually does and how it touches every American's life through taxes, trade, Social Security, Medicare, and more. Jason opens up about his small-town Missouri roots, being a fourth-generation farmer, raising white buffalo, and why he still lives in the same rural community he represents. He explains how he took the Ways and Means Committee on the road to 32 states to listen to working families, small businesses, and farmers before writing what he calls the “Big Beautiful Bill” – the largest tax cut in U.S. history, including no tax on tips and overtime. The conversation gets candid on Social Security's future, election integrity and slow vote counts in places like California, and what happens when people lose trust in the system. Jason also shares behind-the-scenes stories of working closely with President Trump – from grilling him for three hours on every line of a 103-title tax bill in the Oval Office to the now-famous “red button” that just orders Diet Coke. Along the way, they talk CMA Fest, Jason's obsession with Reba, the Chiefs, Mahomes vs. Brady, cleaning up Washington, D.C., and why he believes the founding fathers' values are really small-town values. Jason closes with a powerful story of a single mom whose $10,000 tax refund changed her life – and why that's why he still fights for small towns and working families.

Your neighborhood pool may be short-staffed this summer — and the reason probably isn't what you think. Lauren Clarke sits down with Mark Overmann, Executive Director of the Alliance for International Exchange, to unpack the quiet crisis hitting seasonal businesses from the Jersey Shore to the Ozarks. The J1 Summer Work Travel program has been filling the gap in America's seasonal workforce for more than 50 years — but this summer, a State Department deprioritization order and a 6x slowdown in visa interview processing times have left up to 19,000 vetted, job-ready students stranded without an interview slot. Mark explains how a cultural exchange program became the backbone of seasonal staffing, why this is a policy and a capacity problem at the same time, what a bipartisan group of House members is doing about it, and what needs to change before summer 2027. Plus, Rob Taylor with the immigration news: Federal Court Kills Trump's $100K H-1B Fee, a new proposed rule raising the bar on EAD eligibility, and updated USCIS guidance on adjustment of status for dual-intent visa holders.

This week, Virginia based old-time string quartet The Earl White Stringband recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park's annual Stringband Music & Arts Festival. Also, interviews with Earl White. Every October, the Ozark Folk Center State Park holds its annual Stringband Music & Arts Festival. It's two days of lively stringband music & dance, handcrafted art, fine Southern cuisine, and old-fashioned fun. The festival includes live shows on Friday and Saturday featuring acclaimed bands from the Ozarks and beyond. “Fiddling Earl White has been a mainstay in the old-time, folk and dance community for more than 45 years.  An original and founding member of the famed Green Grass Cloggers, he is one of few Black Americans preserving and playing Appalachian old time string band music, which was an intricate part of Black communities and formed the foundation of American music of today.  Earl is well known for his extensive repertoire of tunes, and his heartfelt, compact, driving style.  He has played in numerous old time string bands, and he currently leads the Earl White String Band, featuring Victor Furtado (banjo), Jim Nelson (guitar), and Dido Norris (bass). White runs the Big Indian Farm Artisan Bakery with his wife in rural Virginia. He also teaches private lessons, hosts jams and (when we're lucky) comes down to Raleigh to play a PineCone Square Dance.” - https://pinecone.org/artists/earl-white/ In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1974 archival recording of legendary balladeer Aunt Ollie Gilbert, performing the traditional song “A Rock in the Weary Land,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins profiles Ollie Gilbert's husband, folk singer Oscar Gilbert.

The Preserver's Garden: Featuring Staci and Jeremy Hill of Gooseberry Bridge FarmIn this Episode Staci and Jeremy share their journey from suburban living to operating an 11-acre farm in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. What began as a small raised-bed garden evolved into a lifestyle centered on food production, preservation, agritourism, and self-sufficiency. In this conversation, they discuss how preserving food became a cornerstone of their family's food security strategy, why they intentionally grow crops for canning and freeze-drying, and how planning a "preserver's garden" differs from traditional gardening. They also share lessons learned from preservation failures, the economics of home food production, and the inspiration behind their book, The Preserver's Garden.Our Guests: Stacy and Jeremy Hill are the owners of Gooseberry Bridge Farm, located in the Ozark Mountains of Southwest Missouri. They moved from the typical house at the end of a cul-de-sac in a subdivision to an 11-acre farm almost 10 years ago, and haven't looked back. In addition to producing and preserving as much of their own food by canning, freezing, dehydrating, and freeze-drying their garden harvests, they also operate a you-pick flower farm with different varieties of flowers throughout the year. Their goals are to share their farm with the community and to be as self-sufficient as possible within the boundaries of what is realistic in today's world.Key TopicsGooseberry Bridge FarmStaci and Jeremy HillThe Preserver's GardenFood preservation strategiesCanning and water bath processingFreeze-drying food for long-term storageGrowing for food securityBuilding a year-round pantryPreserving tomatoes, peaches, beans, and zucchiniFamily involvement in food productionAgritourism and farm experiencesTeaching lost homesteading skillsFoxfire books and traditional knowledgeReducing grocery costs through food productionKey Questions AnsweredHow did Staci and Jeremy transition from suburbia to farming?They began with a small raised-bed garden after getting married and gradually expanded their food production over two decades. After moving to an 11-acre property in Missouri, they increased their gardening, added livestock, and eventually turned the farm into their primary source of income through agritourism and value-added products.What inspired them to focus on food preservation?As their family grew, they became interested in preserving traditional skills they could pass on to future generations. Each year they learned a new preservation method, eventually mastering canning, dehydrating, freeze-drying, and food storage.What does a well-stocked pantry look like?A successful pantry is built around foods a family actually enjoys eating. Rather than preserving what is easiest, they recommend preserving crops you enjoy and grow well. Their pantry includes extensive stores of tomato sauce, salsa, green beans, soups, fruits, and freeze-dried foods.What crops provide the biggest return for food security?Their highest-performing crops include tomatoes, bush beans, zucchini, summer squash, and okra. They emphasize growing large quantities and "outplanting failure" rather than constantly battling pests.Why do they freeze-dry food?Freeze-drying dramatically increases shelf life, often up to 25 years, while preserving flavor and nutrition. It also expands the range of foods they can store compared to traditional canning.How do they handle large harvests of tomatoes?They harvest tomatoes at the blush stage, allow them to ripen indoors, process them in batches, and often freeze excess harvests for winter canning. This approach reduces summer workload and avoids heating the kitchen during hot weather.Why was The Preserver's Garden written?A publisher noticed a gap between gardening books and preservation books. The result was a book focused on planning a garden specifically for preservation goals rather than simply dealing with surplus produce after harvest.How has preserving food impacted their household finances?Despite having more children and growing teenagers, their grocery expenses have declined over the years while food quality has improved. Producing and preserving food has reduced their dependence on grocery stores.What preservation failures taught them valuable lessons?Experiments freeze-drying sweet hot sauce and banana puree resulted in spectacular messes due to sugar expansion during the freeze-drying process. These failures reinforced the importance of testing and learning through experience.What advice do they give beginners?Start small. Preserve one thing, grow one crop, and build confidence through small successes. Fear and misinformation often prevent people from getting started.Episode HighlightsStaci and Jeremy moved from a suburban cul-de-sac to an 11-acre farm in the Ozarks nearly a decade ago.Their farm now supports agritourism, a flower operation, livestock experiences, and food production.A surprise harvest of 300–400 pounds of peaches led to a week-long experiment with new preservation recipes.Their pantry functions as a personalized grocery store stocked with foods their family regularly eats.They grow approximately 100 tomato plants and harvest up to 30–40 pounds of tomatoes per day during peak season.Freeze-drying transformed their food preservation capacity and significantly expanded their pantry.Their children actively participate in gardening, food preservation, and homesteading skills.An Instagram post featuring their pantry went viral and helped inspire the creation of their book.Calls to Action & ResourcesBook: The Preserver's Garden — https://thepreserversgarden.comFarm Website: Gooseberry Bridge Farm — https://gooseberrybridge.comInstagram: Gooseberry Bridge Farm — https://www.instagram.com/gooseberrybridgefarmRecommended Reading: Foxfire Book SeriesVisit www.urbanfarm.org/PreserversGarden for the show notes on this episode, and access to our full podcast library!

For more than 20 years, so-called “troubled” kids and teens from across the country have been sent to Change Academy at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Now, former students of the youth treatment center are suing, alleging physical assault by its staff, and sexual abuse by fellow residents. Midwest Newsroom reporter Luke Nozicka shares the details of his new investigation into those allegations, and what former students and staff say about years of abuse they witnessed.

Beauty is one of the most celebrated words in art and faith conversations, but it may also be one of the most misunderstood. Is beauty simply what pleases the eye, or is it something deeper? Can beauty exist alongside suffering, loss, and the grotesque? And what happens when we settle for beauty that comforts us while avoiding the realities that transform us?What if beauty requires darkness, mystery, and even lament in order to reveal its deepest meaning? In this roundtable discussion, Stephen Roach and guests Corey Frey, Liv Ross, and Scott Aasman wrestle with beauty not as sentimentality or surface appeal, but as a force capable of holding together truth, goodness, suffering, and hope.KEY TOPICSWhy beauty can feel inauthentic when it is removed from struggleThe original meaning of "glamour" as a veil designed to trap and deceive, and why that etymology still matters for artists todayHow the three transcendentals — goodness, truth, and beauty — function like a trinity: remove one and the others collapse into vanity, brutality, or cover-upWhat Edmund Burke and Kant meant by the sublime, and why terror and beauty belong together rather than apartThe real context behind Dostoevsky's phrase "beauty will save the world," drawn from The Idiot, and why stripping it from that argument changes everythingThomas Kinkade's stated goal of painting a world where the Fall never happened, and what his private life and Andy Warhol quote reveal about the cost of bypassing Holy SaturdayWhy form without substance is essentially pornographic, and how true beauty requires the material and the spiritual coming togetherHow artistic isolation stunts creative roots the way a tree grown in perfect conditions falls in the first storm and why community, friction, and disagreement strengthen both the artist and the workAbout the Guests:Corey Frey is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and co-founder of The Well Collaborative, a community dedicated to creativity, curiosity, and culture. He lives in Maryland with his wife and continues to explore the intersections of art, faith, and imagination.Liv Ross is an urban monk, poet, essayist, and Managing Editor of Traces Journal. Writing from the Ozarks, her work explores place, wonder, memory, and spiritual formation.
