Shawn Johnson graduated from Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota, with a degree in Criminal Justice before earning his Juris Doctorate from William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was immediately accepted into the FBI, trained at the FBI Academy, and assigned to the Seattle Division. There, he worked on the Green River Serial Murder investigation before joining the Violent Crimes Squad, where he investigated bank robberies, fugitives, interstate theft, extortions, and kidnappings. His legal background also led to service as Assistant Chief Division Counsel. Johnson later joined the National Security Squad, working counterterrorism and counterintelligence operations, including joint overseas investigations with the United States Army and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Returning to the Violent Crimes Squad, he played a key role in the Hollywood investigation, helped establish the Puget Sound Violent Crime Task Force, served as Bank Robbery Coordinator, and authored the Division's Bank Robbery Response Plan. After transferring to the Milwaukee Division's Madison Resident Agency, he focused on drug conspiracy investigations, employing sophisticated surveillance techniques that contributed to major takedowns of drug organizations in Chicago and Madison. Following 9/11, he managed the newly established Madison Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), overseeing federal and local efforts to investigate international terrorism. Johnson later returned to the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, where he instructed new agents in criminal investigations, counterterrorism investigations, and Human Intelligence (HUMINT). His final FBI assignment was with the Directorate of Intelligence, training agents in HUMINT policy and procedures. Upon retiring from the FBI, he founded Wolf & Owl LLC, where he continues to train FBI personnel in support of the Bureau's mission to protect the United States. Steven Meyers was the partner and principal accomplice of Scott Scurlock, better known as "Hollywood," the notorious bank robber responsible for a string of high-profile bank heists in the Seattle area during the 1990s. Over the course of four and a half years, Meyers worked closely with Scurlock and their crew in planning and executing 19 bank robberies that resulted in the theft of more than $2.3 million. Beyond participating in the operation, Meyers helped develop the plans, create disguises, and support the methods that allowed the crew to evade law enforcement for years. Meyers and Scurlock were deeply involved in every aspect of the enterprise, including planning operations, laundering money, and acquiring vehicles and equipment. As Scurlock's closest collaborator, Meyers gained a unique understanding of the man behind the "Hollywood" persona and the motivations that drove one of the Pacific Northwest's most infamous crime sprees. In 2023, Meyers was featured in the Netflix documentary *How to Rob a Bank*, providing firsthand insight into the robberies and the inner workings of the crew. Today, he joins retired FBI Special Agent Shawn Johnson—the lead investigator who helped solve the case—to share the untold stories behind the Hollywood robberies and offer perspectives from both sides of one of the most remarkable bank robbery investigations in modern history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Washington State's premier social wellness spa is done waiting for the legislature to get its act together — and Nashville just won. The expansion south isn't a growth story. It's a verdict on what WA has become for small business operators trying to build something in an overregulated, overtaxed environment.This is the story Democrats don't want told: the businesses that leave quietly. No layoffs headline, no factory closure press conference — just a founder who looked at two states, ran the numbers, and picked the one that doesn't punish success. Nashville gets the jobs, the tax revenue, and the entrepreneur. Washington gets the vacancy.Sean breaks down what this expansion signals about the accelerating business flight from the Pacific Northwest and why Olympia keeps pretending the problem doesn't exist.CHAPTERS0:00 Progressive Seattle's Budget Meltdown…1:42 Seattle Spa Relocates to Nashville2:14 Businesses Follow Starbucks to Nashville4:05 Katie Wilson Dismisses Departing…5:13 Tennessee Courts Businesses Seattle…6:34 Starbucks Expands Nashville, Cuts…8:08 Soak and Sage Nashville Expansion…9:06 Washington Business Climate Forcing…9:48 Washington Gold Tax Drives Dealer to…12:07 Aerospace Supplier Chooses Idaho Over…14:45 Washington Still in Denial About Exodus16:33 Democrat Supermajority Hostile to…18:43 Starbucks Workers Refuse Tennessee MoveSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories Pacific Northwest media won't touch.#Seattle #Taxes #LocalPolitics

Seattle's luxury real estate market just sent a flashing warning signal: high-end listings jumped 84% — a number that doesn't happen in a healthy city. This isn't a housing boom. It's an exit.The pattern is identical to what played out in San Francisco, Portland, and every other city where progressive governance chased out the productive class. High earners don't announce their departure — they list their homes. When luxury inventory spikes this hard, the people who have options are exercising them.Seattle's city leadership has spent years treating wealth as a problem to be taxed rather than an asset to be retained. The results are now showing up in the MLS. The blue state exodus isn't a talking point anymore — it's a data point, and it's accelerating.CHAPTERS0:00 Blue State Exodus: Seattle luxury home…1:44 Why People Are Fleeing Washington State2:39 Seattle Mayor's Starbucks Boycott…3:10 Washington Appraiser on the Housing…4:51 Starbucks Relocates 2,000 Jobs to…5:48 Bellevue Homeowner Moving to Oklahoma…7:04 Inventory Surges as Mortgage Rates Hit…8:05 Brokers Advise Sellers to Drop Prices8:54 Bellevue Median Home Price Hits $1.8M9:37 King County Inventory Still Well Below…10:10 King County Luxury Listings Surge 84%10:49 Washington's Next Tax Target: Real…11:42 Seattle Wedged In While Oklahoma City…12:29 Kirkland Up 102% as Seattle Mayor…13:28 Statewide Millionaire Tax Puts All at…14:10 Why Seattle's Housing Market Hasn't…16:38 Timing a Washington Home Sale Exit17:58 Fixed-Income Retirees Caught in…Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories Pacific Northwest media won't touch.#Seattle #RealEstate #CapitalFlight

In this special 200th episode of RV Out West, we sit down with Edwin and Jessely Soto, the couple behind From the Hatch, for a raw and honest conversation about full time RV living, family travel, and building a nomadic lifestyle from the ground up. What makes their story so different is that when they first started RV life, they had absolutely zero experience. In fact, I first met the Sotos over five years ago in a campground in Pennsylvania on their very first night living full time in an RV.Since then, Edwin and Jessely have traveled across the country, navigated major RV breakdowns, worked through health challenges, and learned how to adapt to the ups and downs that come with life on the road. In this episode, they share why they chose the full time RV lifestyle, how their family and friends eventually came to understand their decision, and the ways travel has shaped them not just as individuals, but as a couple and as a family.This episode is filled with heartfelt stories, honest reflections, and practical insight for anyone curious about RV living, van life, family travel, digital nomad life, or long term travel in an RV. If you are already living on the road or still dreaming about taking the leap into full time travel, Edwin and Jessely bring a relatable and inspiring perspective to the conversation.Be sure to follow From the Hatch on Instagram and join us next week for part two, where we talk about their travels throughout the Pacific Northwest, creating music while living on the road, and how they make this lifestyle work for their family.Visit our newest sponsor: Scenic WashingtonOrder your FREE Washington State Scenic Byway guide and map.Send us Fan MailSign up for our NewsletterPlease follow the show so you never miss an episode.

While mainstream social media chases quick viral algorithms, real content and championship legacies are built brick by brick on the ground. We bypass the surface-level noise to bring you a massive cross-niche breakdown—from tracking campaigns and local high school sports dynasties to deep MLB statistical home-field splits and the real mental chess match of NFL offseason training.In this episode:00:00 - Welcome & Introducing Fred the DummyAnnouncing the official winner of our hard-fought Memorial Day Mooyah bounty hunt before bringing our ongoing YouTube tracking campaign over to the podcast arena for the first time. We formally introduce the Grand Jury to the Fred stakeout, pull back the curtain on the Day 6 backend analytics straight from the church sound booth, and evaluate the evidence to determine if Fred is officially evading the law.11:02 - Softball: Undefeated Back-to-Back State Champs & Inside the ScrumCelebrating Shepherd's flawless, historic run to the state title and their legendary 49-0 combined multi-season milestone.

We lay out the head-to-head data tables between the Mariners' 33 wins and the D-backs' 27 wins before unpacking why the "Pacific Northwest curse" completely evaporates at Chase Field, where Arizona commands a rock-solid .600 winning percentage (18-12) and holds the ultimate home-field sweep advantage.41:25 - Cardinals: Football is LoomingSifting through the raw media availability notes ahead of the gridiron season.

This week on Truth to Power, we bring you a conversation about "Interwar Germany and the U.S. Today: Are They Comparable Cases of the Failure of Democracy and the Rise of Dictatorship?" This virtual community conversation with Christopher R. Browning, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, took place on February 24, 2026, and was organized by the Oberlin Club of Washington, D.C. Given the propensity to invoke Hitler, Nazism, and fascism in current political discussion, historians of Europe in the era of fascist dictatorship, World War II, and the Holocaust should set a high bar for responsible and informed analogizing, against which facile and distorted attempts can be measured and found wanting. This talk will attempt a careful comparison and contrast between Hitler and Trump as personalities and politicians, as well as between the fall of Weimar and rise of Nazi dictatorship on the one hand and current events and trends in the U.S. on the other. Professor Browning will do so operating from the premise that insights based upon knowledge of the past are very important for illuminating and understanding our current situation, but the careless weaponizing of the past simply to stigmatize one's opponents is self-defeating. Christopher R. Browning is the Frank Porter Graham Professor History Emeritus at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill where he taught from 1999-2014. He is a specialist on the Holocaust and renowned for work documenting the Final Solution, the behavior of those implementing Nazi policies, and the use of survivor testimony. Earlier, he taught at Pacific Lutheran University from 1974-1999. Christopher is the author of nine books, including three–Ordinary Men (1992), The Origins of the Final Solution (2004), and Remembering Survival (2010)—which received the National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust Category. He has served as historical expert witness at two Holocaust denial trials: Ernst Zündel v. Crown Prosecution in Toronto in 1988, and David Irving v. Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Press in London in 2000. Christopher was a History major at Oberlin and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in 2014. He earned his PhD in History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He currently resides in the Pacific Northwest with his wife Jenni Horn Browning '67.

What are the best crops for a Pacific Northwest vegetable garden? In today's episode, I'm sharing the crops and varieties that have truly earned their place in my Pacific Northwest vegetable garden after 26 years of gardening in a cool, short-season climate. Over the years, I've become much more intentional about what I grow. I want crops that reliably produce, preserve well, and are foods we actually eat throughout the year. Some vegetables continue to thrive season after season, while others simply aren't worth the time, effort, or garden space in our northern climate. In this episode, I'm walking you through: The vegetables I plant every single year My favorite tried-and-true varieties The crops I've stopped growing and why What performs best in cool summer climates How I decide what deserves space in my garden My rule for experimenting with new varieties Whether you garden in the Pacific Northwest or another northern growing region, I hope this helps you feel more confident choosing crops that will actually thrive where you live.

I am not an expert in swinging flies in the most orthodox sense of the concept. In fact, I've never made any kind of presentation to steelhead in the Pacific Northwest or Atlantic salmon. However, I have swung wet flies in ways that might not draw the ire of purists. But none of that is what I'm talking about today. The weird uncle of that noble tactic, swinging streamers and nymphs for bass and trout is  a little less dignified but a whole lot of fun. And, if you're more about pragmatism and less about fun, it is more efficient. Today I share three ways to swing flies at your local river. It doesn't take any special gear or a lot of practice. Just get out there and swing away. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Growing up in Southern Ontario, Mike got his start through Canada's Air Cadet program, earning a glider license at 16 and a private pilot license at 17 before nearly going the Canadian Armed Forces fighter pilot route. A heart murmur medical delay, a backpacking trip to New Zealand, and a hard reset later, he found himself building a flight school from scratch on Vancouver Island with one airplane and a jacket that said "ask me about flying."Now based on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Mike is one of Canada's leading instructors on the Pipistrel Velis Electro — the country's first electric aircraft approved for primary flight training — and he's about to embark on a brand new chapter as a bird dog pilot doing aerial wildfire fighting in BC's rugged mountain terrain.In this episode, Justin and Mike dig into the Canadian pilot training system, what it's actually like to fly and teach in an electric airplane, the unique aviation culture of the Pacific Northwest coast, and what draws a variety-hungry pilot to a career where low-level mountain flying meets public service. Plus — Mike shares what it was like to nearly make it into Canadian fighter pilot selection before a three-day paperwork deadline changed everything.Topics Covered:Canada's Air Cadet program and glider scholarshipsCanadian vs. American pilot training and instructor rating systemsFlying the Pipistrel Velis Electro — Canada's first electric flight trainerElectric aviation: where it works today and where it's headedAerial wildfire fighting and the bird dog roleBuilding a sub-base flight school on Vancouver Island from the ground upThe TBM 960's "Home Safe" emergency automation featuresWhy variety — not the airlines — has driven Mike's entire career

I found Emma through Maria Shriver's newsletter, and her words stopped me cold:"I no longer want more. I want to be wild."I felt my whole body exhale. Because I knew exactly what she meant. The TED Talks, the books, the funnels, the coaching groups, I had all of it. And so did Emma. And somewhere underneath all of it, we both heard the same quiet voice saying: this isn't it.This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt that way.Meet Emma TynanEmma Tynan is an Irish writer whose work explores belonging, the inner life, and contemplative practice through lived experience. She lives in the Pacific Northwest and is currently writing her first book, Brave Words. She also facilitates international luxury retreats in devotion to St. Mary Magdalene, and before all of this, she founded an international life coaching company that served thousands of students worldwide for over a decade.What We Get IntoClosing a decade-long business in a single afternoon. Emma got her name on the office door and two weeks later heard four words rise up within her, standing outside her son's school: give me everything. She sent the emails that same day.Her son Eli and the gift inside the unexpected. Emma's youngest is autistic. His becoming was an invitation to grieve, surrender, and release everything she thought life was supposed to look like. She homeschooled him for a year, with hot chocolates, forest walks, and a chalkboard in the dining room. She'd do it ten times over.Distraction disguised as productivity. Years of funnels and Facebook ads, chasing the next strategy while a voice in her heart kept saying the same thing: write the book. I felt this in my bones.Mary Magdalene and reclaiming what's true. Emma's work centers on restoring Mary Magdalene's real story, scholar, apostle, prophet, not the fiction she was branded with for centuries. In Ireland, this history is not abstract. It's in the bones of the culture.What wildness really means. Not resistance. Belonging. The part of us we were taught to tame, that's the part that knows who we really are.Quotes I'm Still Thinking About✨"It was distraction disguised as productivity and scaling and growth."✨"The thing you're most afraid to admit that's the thing that's going to liberate you."✨"The tendrils of my soul want to touch the real earth to move not outward, but inward."Her writing will move you. I promise.

In this episode, Todd Moen of Catch Magazine joins us to share the story behind some of the most iconic fly fishing films ever created—from steelhead rivers in the Pacific Northwest to remote destinations across the globe. We dig into Todd's early production days filming for Fly Fishing the World, surviving a plane crash in the Bahamas, and how he eventually built Catch Magazine into one of the most respected visual storytelling brands in fly fishing. Todd also explains why steelhead may be the hardest species to film, how music shapes his editing process, and what most people never realize about the amount of work required to capture a single unforgettable fish on camera. #929 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/929

As MLS pauses for the World Cup, we'll give our takes on the weekend's loss to LAFC, then revisit the letter grades we handed out for the Seattle Sounders' strikers, midfielders, defenders, goalkeepers, and coaching staff a few weeks ago and update them. Who's improved, who's slipped, and have any of our assessments changed based on the challenging last few weeks? We'll also react to The Guardian leak confirming Cristian Roldan on the USMNT roster (cue the meltdown from the USMNT bots and haters) and run through Pochettino's full squad and debate whether this group actually has a shot to perform at the World Cup.Follow Lobbing Scorchers: YouTube Instagram Bluesky TikTok Facebook Ari Liljenwall Noah Riffe Niko MorenoSPONSORSQED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

Re-posting this CLAMMY AND FISHY BONUS EPISODE in memory of beloved Seattle historian Paul Dorpat, October 28, 1938 to May 27, 2026. Anyone who works in history, public history or anything related to local history in the Pacific Northwest stands on the shoulders of the kind-hearted, brilliant and very funny Paul Dorpat. He was truly one of the good guys. REST IN PEACE. ORIGINAL EPISODE DESCRIPTION: On this CLAMMY AND FISHY BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY from November 2025, Feliks Banel (clam)digs into the audio archives to tell the twisted tale of the Ivar's Billboard Hoax, aka "Underwatergate." Though, once you've listened, it may have you wondering if there was ever hoax at all, or if it was actually some kind of elaborate coverup. In 2009, Seattle-based Ivar's seafood restaurants released a series of videos documenting the search for and discovery of UNDERWATER BILLBOARDS in Puget Sound. As the story goes, they were placed in the 1950s by restaurateur and showman Ivar Haglund to reach burgeoning submarine traffic. The 2009 undersea search was all very exciting, and many were completely hooked. But then, Jim Dever, with KING 5's Evening Magazine at the time - and still a great friend of CASCADE OF HISTORY - had the exclusive exposé, produced in cooperation with Ivar's, and featuring Ivar's CEO Bob Donegan. As Dever's report made it seem, the whole thing was a brilliant stunt that fooled a lot of people - but it angered a few, too, who thought Ivar's had gone too far. Fast forward to November 2015, and naïve history radio correspondent Feliks Banel set out to tell the backstory with help from Paul Dorpat. Dorpat is a beloved historian - and friend and biographer of Ivar - who had served as official historian of the vintage underwater billboard hunt. When the hoax had been revealed in 2009, Dorpat – longtime author of the weekly “Now & Then” history column - was criticized by many, and even temporarily suspended by The Seattle Times for his role in the stunt. As you listen to Paul Dorpat's 2015 version of events, try to keep clam. CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org. The radio station broadcasts from studios at historic Magnuson Park – located in the former Master-at-Arms' quarters in the old Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

Seattle is in the middle of a violent crime surge — and the city's Democrat leadership is more focused on rolling out the red carpet for FIFA than protecting residents. Sean breaks down the numbers politicians don't want to discuss: who's getting hit hardest, which neighborhoods are spiraling, and why the mayor's office is nowhere near a solution.With the 2026 FIFA World Cup descending on Seattle, the pressure to paper over reality is intense. City Hall wants the world to see gleaming stadiums and a thriving urban core. What they won't advertise is the crime wave that ordinary Seattleites are living through every single day while their elected officials prioritize optics over public safety.The bitter irony is that the same progressive coalition that dismantled accountability in policing is now scrambling to make Seattle look safe for an international audience. If it wasn't safe enough for locals, it won't magically be safe for tourists — and no amount of FIFA branding fixes a broken criminal justice system.CHAPTERS0:00 Seattle in Midst of Violent Crime…2:18 Seattle Leaders Shrug at Violent Crime2:49 9-Warrant Suspect Rapes Seattle Teen4:55 UW Student Killed in Laundry Room5:37 King County Jail Refusing Police…6:21 Diversion Policies Keep Releasing…6:53 Jail Declines Bookings on Any Pretext7:49 Seattle Police Force Down 650 Officers8:32 Seattle Draws Criminals From Across…11:43 Mayor Wilson Ignores Crime Before…12:35 Defund Legacy Drains Seattle Police…13:48 World Cup Spotlight on Seattle's…Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories Pacific Northwest media won't touch.#Seattle #UrbanDecay #ProgressiveCities

Starbucks has announced another round of layoffs at its Seattle headquarters, cutting 252 more workers as the company continues its retreat from a city that once celebrated it as a homegrown success story. The timing couldn't be more pointed — Seattle's socialist mayor is openly waving goodbye to the city's wealthiest residents and treating their departure as ideological progress, while the economic foundation crumbles beneath her feet.The millionaire exodus isn't a talking point anymore. Wealthy residents and the companies they built are voting with their feet, and the tax base Seattle depends on is walking out the door with them. When your mayor frames business flight as a win, don't be surprised when the businesses start leaving faster — and taking 252 paychecks with them.Seattle's doom loop doesn't happen all at once. It happens one corporate announcement at a time, while city hall cheers and the workers who depended on those jobs figure out what comes next. The Pacific Northwest is watching a cautionary tale play out in real time, and the people who warned about this are being proven right quarter by quarter.CHAPTERS0:00 As Socialist Mayor Waves "Goodbye" to…1:47 Starbucks Files 252-Worker Layoff Notice3:17 Seattle Jobs Relocating to Tennessee4:02 Wilson Boycott Backfires as Starbucks…5:28 Washington Millionaires Tax Drives…6:56 Seattle Installs Solar Toilets for…9:01 Gregoire and Sacca Warn of Business…11:26 Millionaire Listings Surge After…13:28 World Cup Arrives Amid Ongoing…Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage Seattle's legacy media won't give you.#Seattle #UrbanDecay #ProgressiveCities

RV travel invites us to explore wide landscapes, open roads, and the freedom of the outdoors, but there's another layer to that experience waiting just beyond the trail. This conversation explores how foraging, wild foods, and campfire cooking connect RVers to the land in a more personal and rewarding way. It's about slowing down, looking closer, and discovering what the forest has to offer right around your campsite.For many travelers, the idea of foraging can feel unfamiliar or overwhelming at first. Where do you begin? What is safe to pick? How do you turn wild ingredients into a meal you actually want to eat? This discussion helps take the mystery out of that process and opens the door for beginners who want to try something new on their next RV trip. From wild greens to chanterelles and morels, the outdoors becomes both your destination and your pantry.Guest Langdon Cook is a Seattle-based author known for three books that explore wild food culture: Fat of the Land, The Mushroom Hunters, and Upstream: Searching for Salmon from River to Table. His writing blends storytelling, ecology, and food, offering a deeper look at how wild ingredients shape both people and place.Together we talk about foraging as part of outdoor adventure travel, how it fits into RV living, and why it continues to draw people back into forests and campsites across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. If you've ever considered adding foraging to your camping routine, this conversation offers a grounded place to start.Send us Fan MailSign up for our NewsletterPlease follow the show so you never miss an episode.

Seattle is rolling out the welcome mat for FIFA's 2026 World Cup while a violent crime surge tears through its streets. Sean breaks down the numbers the city's progressive leadership doesn't want broadcast to the world — assaults, robberies, and homicides climbing while officials prep photo ops for global cameras. When the world shows up, they'll get a very different Seattle than the brochure promised.Then, a structural failure at a downtown timber tower construction site rips the curtain off Seattle's progressive planning experiment. The city's downtown has been decaying for years under the weight of failed policy — record office vacancies, open drug use, and now a building collapse that puts the ideology on trial. The rot isn't metaphorical anymore.Two stories, one city, one question: how long before voters hold Seattle's leadership accountable for what they've built?

Illinois just lost $6 billion in adjusted gross income as residents voted with their feet — and the state's political class still hasn't figured out why. Under Governor Pritzker, Illinois has delivered nearly every policy that Washington Democrats are now promising: progressive income taxes, expanded public spending, and a regulatory environment that treats businesses as a problem to be managed. The result is a fiscal bleeding that can't be cauterized without reversing the politics that caused it.Washington State is tracking the same arc. The wealth tax push, the capital gains surcharge, and the steady drumbeat of "make the rich pay" rhetoric are identical to the playbook Pritzker ran before Illinois became a cautionary spreadsheet. The people most capable of leaving are always the first ones out — and they don't send a forwarding address to the tax authority.Sean breaks down where Illinois stands, who's actually leaving and why, and what the numbers say about Washington's near-term trajectory if Olympia keeps borrowing from Springfield's disaster playbook.CHAPTERS0:00 Illinois' Loses $6 Billion as…2:30 Illinois $6 Billion Warning for…3:48 Mayor Wilson Waves Goodbye to…5:26 Starbucks Cuts 252 Jobs, Expands in…6:39 Former Governor Warns Democrats on Taxes7:37 Seattle's New Public Toilet Gamble9:17 Luxury Listings Surge After Tax Proposal10:35 Man Falls Through Ballard Gym Ceiling11:33 Washington Following Illinois Into…12:51 Downtown Seattle 36% Vacant13:51 What Tennessee Has That Washington…15:04 World Cup Will Spotlight Seattle's…Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories Pacific Northwest media won't touch.#Seattle #UrbanDecay #ProgressiveCities

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!It was once a college dormitory. Then a tuberculosis hospital. Now it's a rustic inn with a haunted reputation that keeps growing darker. What happened inside the Old Gooding TB Hospital?In this episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Jennifer Ward, investigator with Western Idaho Paranormal Inc. (W.I.P.), a nonprofit group dedicated to scientific, professional paranormal investigation across Idaho and the Pacific Northwest. W.I.P. doesn't just chase shadows—they document them. And what they discovered inside the walls of the Gooding University Inn (formerly the Idaho State Tuberculosis Hospital) is unforgettable.Built in 1920 as a dormitory for Gooding College, the building later served as a tuberculosis hospital from 1947 to 1976—a place of isolation, suffering, and many deaths. Now, as an inn being carefully restored, visitors and investigators alike have reported overwhelming feelings of dread, unexplainable physical sensations, and full-bodied apparitions.Jennifer shares one of the most compelling EVPs ever captured in the building, along with chilling details of what her team experienced in the attic and basement, where even the current innkeeper refuses to go. Is the energy just residual from decades of death? Or is something more intelligent—and possibly sinister—anchored to the location?This is the haunted history of the Gooding TB Hospital—a place where spirits roam long hallways, shadows watch from corners, and the past refuses to die quietly.For more information, search Western Idaho Paranormal on Facebook or visit their website at widpara.com.#GoodingTBHospital #HauntedIdaho #ParanormalPodcast #RealGhostStories #EVPEvidence #WesternIdahoParanormal #TheGraveTalks #HauntedInn #GhostHunting #TuberculosisHospital #WIPInvestigations #HauntedHistoryLove real ghost stories?

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Christopher Rufo. Rufo is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. A contributing editor at City Journal, author of the New York Times bestseller America's Cultural Revolution, and 2025 Bradley Prize recipient, he also serves as a New College of Florida board member and Distinguished Fellow at Hillsdale College. He is also co-host of the podcast Rufo and Lomez. Raised in Sacramento, California, Rufo graduated magna cum laude from Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service in 2006 and a Master of Liberal Arts in Government from Harvard Extension School in 2022. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and children. Razib and Rufo first discuss his California upbringing and the idyllic environment of the Golden State. They discuss what they both love about California and why it matters for the US as a whole. Razib brings up the contrast with Texas, where the weather and scenery are less attractive, but pro-business and pro-housing regulatory framework has attracted many migrants from California. Rufo then details exactly what he's uncovered about the poor governance in his home state under Gavin Newsom. They also discuss the prospects in the current governor's race, and whether California's pathologies can ever be fixed.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan opens with the latest on "deal or no deal" with Iran, as the U.S. and Tehran remain far apart on a peace agreement over Iran's enriched nuclear material and its demand to control the Strait of Hormuz, while the Pentagon prepares for renewed military action if talks fail. He also covers growing signs of U.S. pressure on Cuba, including the arrival of the USS Nimitz strike group in the Caribbean, CIA Director John Ratcliffe's recent trip to Havana, and the DOJ indictment of former Cuban leader Raul Castro. Bryan then turns to a deepening investigation into Neville Roy Singham, the Communist activist living in Shanghai under China's protection, whose money allegedly supports socialist and leftist groups across the United States, including networks tied to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Plus, Bryan breaks down socialist backlash in Seattle and New York as wealthy residents and major companies threaten to leave over tax hikes, the 42-year prison sentence for Feeding Our Future fraud figure Aimee Bock, and a major clash between President Trump and GOP senators over the SAVE Act, the filibuster, and Trump's legislative agenda. He closes with updates on China's looming critical mineral export controls, Trump's new $2 billion quantum computing push, Ebola in Congo, Hantavirus research in the Pacific Northwest, and promising cancer research on pancreatic tumors and vitamin D for breast cancer surgery recovery.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Iran peace deal Strait of Hormuz nuclear material 2026, Trump Iran war Pentagon targeting list Hormuz mines, USS Nimitz Cuba Caribbean Raul Castro DOJ indictment, CIA Director John Ratcliffe Havana Cuba negotiations, Neville Roy Singham China Communist funding investigation, Seattle wealth tax Katie Wilson Starbucks Tennessee move, Zohran Mamdani NYC wealth tax free groceries, Feeding Our Future fraud Aimee Bock 42 years prison, Trump GOP Senate fight SAVE Act filibuster John Thune, China critical minerals export controls June 2026, Trump quantum computing IBM investment, Ebola Congo outbreak Hantavirus Washington Idaho, pancreatic cancer inflammation treatment vitamin D breast cancer surgery, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

This week on Sasquatch Odyssey, I sit down with Brett from Colorado, a lifelong outdoorsman, avid hunter, and longtime listener who finally decided to send his story in. What unfolds across this conversation is one of those grounded, no-frills encounters that I think hits harder than the big sexy sightings, because Brett isn't trying to sell you anything.He's a guy who grew up in the Colorado mountains, knows what belongs out there, and ran headfirst into something that didn't.Brett's first brush with the unknown happened when he was around 16 or 17 years old, somewhere in 2006 or 2007, while camping at the alpine lakes on the western side of I-25 in southern Colorado. A fire, a friend, a quiet night, and then a sound coming out of the tree line that didn't match anything he had ever heard in those mountains. He describes it as a howl, but a howl with bass to it, something guttural that didn't track as canine. His buddy went pale almost immediately and told him his grandpa had warned him about Bigfoot. That was the first time Brett had ever really heard the word in any serious way, and the wood knocks rolling in from the timber that night did the rest of the work. The bigger story, and the one that has stayed with him for almost twenty years now, happened in the summer of 2009 on a remote stretch of road between Durango and Alamosa. Brett, his now-wife, and his best friend Paul were on a road trip out to California after graduating high school. Somewhere south of the Four Corners, deep in unfamiliar country and lost off the MapQuest directions, a doe ran out in front of the Jeep and refused to leave the road. She kept pace in the headlights for a couple hundred yards, which any hunter will tell you is not normal deer behavior.Then Brett saw it on an embankment off the driver's side. Seven to ten feet tall, black and shaggy, and a pair of eyes he describes as Texas Longhorn orange catching the headlights and then dimming as he passed.His friend Paul, who comes from a Hispanic and Native American family, refused to discuss it for the next ten or fifteen miles down the road. When he finally broke, he confirmed everything Brett had seen, then immediately shut it back down with three words that get to the heart of so much of this phenomenon. We don't talk about him. Paul had been raised to believe that talking about this creature is what brings him around to take children. That cultural weight, that learned silence, is something I've explored on this show many times with Fred from Alaska and others, and Brett's experience puts a fresh face on it.We get into the wood knocks Brett heard up at the alpine lakes and how they compare to what I heard with Todd Standing up in Radium and what I've experienced right here on my own property in North Carolina.Brett describes the sound as more of a hollow whop than a wood-on-wood thud, and we talk through my growing belief, shaped by years of conversations with Doug Hajicek and Tom Powell, that a lot of these knocks are being made with the mouth and hand rather than with sticks or clubs. The simple reality is that you cannot walk into the woods and reliably find a piece of wood solid enough to produce that kind of report. The physics don't work.The conversation moves into eye shine, which is where Brett's hunting background really earns its keep. He breaks down the difference between the green and white shine you get off deer and elk, the yellow on cats and bears, and the quick flash of a mountain lion crossing a road, and then explains why what he saw that night fit none of it. The eyes were steady. They tracked the Jeep without flinching. The creature didn't move, didn't hide, didn't react the way anything in those woods is supposed to react.Brett's read, and I think it's a sharp one, is that the thing was hunting that doe and the Jeep just happened to roll into the middle of it.We spend real time on the question of why people clam up after these encounters, and Brett's answer is honest and uncomfortable. Most of the time it's not culture, it's social pressure. He had this conversation with his own parents after the sighting and got the standard dismissals. Probably a bear. You were tired. It was late. He's watched friends shut down their own stories mid-sentence at a bar because of how the table might react.His framing is one I appreciated. If you are comfortable with who you are, it shouldn't matter whether your best friend believes you. The story is yours either way.There's a moment in this episode I want to call out because it caught me off guard in the best way. Brett pauses the interview to ask me a question, which almost never happens on this show, and he proposes a theory about my own experiences filming My Bigfoot Life out in the Pacific Northwest in the summer of 2024. He suggests that the calm I felt during that night hike, when I was within ten feet of one of these things and chose to chase it up the ridge rather than retreat, is the same conditioned response that kicked in during my sixteen years in law enforcement, including the two times I was shot at on the job with the Atlanta Police Department. The sheepdog reflex. Run toward the danger, not away from it. I had never quite framed it that way myself, and he might be onto something.We close with Brett's confirmation moment, which came years after the sighting when a Native American truck driver from the Four Corners region described the exact same orange eyes on the exact same pass without Brett feeding him a single detail. That kind of independent corroboration, from a man whose culture has been quietly tracking this creature for centuries, is the kind of data point that doesn't show up in a documentary but matters more than most of what does.Brett's encouragement to anyone sitting on a story is the same encouragement I have been giving for years on this show. Send it in. It doesn't have to be five feet away. It doesn't have to come with video. Every account is another data point in a repository we are still building together, and the only way this conversation moves forward is if people stop swallowing what they saw.A huge thank you to Brett for trusting me with his story, for the great questions he turned back on me, and for being exactly the kind of grounded, thoughtful witness this subject needs more of.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

This Friday episode kicks off with a good old-fashioned Sports Minute following the latest exploits of Andy's beloved Pete Crow-Armstrong. Although bad, PCA's struggles seem like nothing compared to Brendan's Cavaliers after a historic collapse in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against PJ's Knicks. As a follow-up to Wednesday's show, Brendan provides an early update on the Browns' QB competition before transitioning into the all-important RATINGS! report for the 2026 PGA Championship. The masses turned out to watch Aaron Rai's back nine at Aronimink, giving CBS its highest viewership for the PGA since Phil Mickelson's win at Kiawah. With limited returns from the first go around Lanny's Place, the bulk of this episode focuses on Bryson DeChambeau's impending "choice" between playing professional golf or becoming a full-time YouTuber. Appearing on Katie Miller's podcast this week, Bryson implied that he must choose between pro golf and content creation with no way to do both simultaneously. He also confirmed that he DOES believe the moon landing happened - only because Elon Musk told him so - but doubts that the video footage of the event is real. Andy is willing to put money on "Bryson Plays Golf on the Moon" within the next decade, if anyone is willing to take him up on that. Elsewhere on LIV, ESPN has reported that Scott O'Neil's plan for a re-imagined LIV Golf has "significant interest" from potential investors. Brendan and Andy then take a look at a Josh Carpenter report about the 2028 PGA Tour schedule and the new markets that the Tour is looking to hold annual events in. Brendan is especially enthused about the Pacific Northwest getting a yearly stop, although it does not look like it will be at Chambers Bay as of now. Andy briefly checks in on the International Presidents Cup Team standings during a check-in on under-performers through two majors because he's worried about Pendy's status for Medinah. Viktor Hovland and the aforementioned Bryson are highlighted by Brendan, but Andy is much more focused on players like Neal Shipley and Tony Finau. To wrap things up for this post-major week, SGS Golf Advice returns with a layered question from a listener who unwillingly finds himself as a club committee chairman.

On this, our 326th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss government and tyranny, environmental toxins and the media, eminent domain, and memories of childhood. Former Washington state governor Christine Gregoire says the state doesn't have an income problem, it's got a spending problem—and that unpredictability from legislators is making it impossible for the business community to plan. Stochasticity is impossible to adapt to—for humans, and for other species too. In the most expensive Congressional primary race in U.S. history, incumbent Thomas Massie lost in Kentucky; his opponent was substantively funded by AIPAC. Young people supported Massie; old people did not. The Department of Fish & Wildlife has declared the widely used herbicide atrazine no big deal—but it very much is, beginning with the well-established fact that it turns the frogs…not gay, but aggressive and dysfunctionally hermaphroditic. In Georgia, eminent domain is being invoked to “liberate” people from their houses. And we end with memories of idyllic childhoods in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.*****Our sponsors:MUDWTR: Start your new morning ritual & get up to 43% off your @MUDWTR with code DARKHORSE at http://mudwtr.com/darkhorse! #mudwtrpodSaunaSpace: deep radiant heat from red and infrared incandescence—detox and decrease pain, reverse screen fatigue and improve your mood. http://Sauna.Space/DarkHorse for 10% off sitewide.Helix: Excellent, sleep-enhancing, American-made mattresses.
