In 1916, Clarence Saunders asked shoppers to do something that now feels completely normal: pick their own groceries.But self-service did more than change shopping. It shifted work from clerk to customer, redesigned the store around that new behaviour, and changed what happened to the job on the other side of the counter.A story about autonomy, work, design — and how change eventually becomes so normal we stop seeing it.Send us Fan MailSupport the showAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcastFollow me on LinkedIn

Babbie Mason once wanted to sing for Motown. Now an award-winning singer-songwriter, author, conference speaker, and TV host, she joins Wayne Shepherd in conversation. (click for more…) Website: https://babbie.comBabbie Mason recounts growing up in Jackson, Michigan, as the daughter of a pastor, where church was the center of family life and she began playing piano and leading music at her father's church by age nine. As a young adult she was drawn toward Motown-style secular music and sang in bars and clubs, but felt persistent conviction from the Holy Spirit; a pivotal moment came in a college snack bar, where a bowl of cooling soup and a Bible verse about being "lukewarm" led her to fully surrender her life and career to Christ. She went on to record albums with Word Records and Spring Hill Music over a career now spanning 40 years. Mason also shares a memorable story from her book Each One Reach One about spontaneously singing "Amazing Grace" in a Piggly Wiggly grocery store, which led to a chain of encounters where she prayed for strangers' needs — illustrating her larger message that kindness and sensitivity to others can open doors to sharing faith. She closes by discussing mentorship, her Inner Circle worship conferences for songwriters, and her desire to fully use her God-given gifts.

In "The Piggly Wiggly Way: A Memphis Story, "Gravy reporter Mackenzie Martin visits the Pink Palace Museum in Memphis to understand how Piggly Wiggly changed grocery shopping forever. Meal kits. Instacart. Door Dash. At the turn of the 20th century, we didn't have all of these options. You mostly showed up at a counter and told a clerk what you wanted, and they'd gather all the necessary items and package them up for you. And there wasn't much in the way of competing brands, either. Then everything started to change in a big way 110 years ago this year, when the most influential self-service grocery store opened in Memphis, Tennessee. Founder Clarence Saunders called it “The Piggly Wiggly Self-Serving System,” and he had several patents for everything: the layout, the price tag system, and even the way he incorporated refrigeration. “You could go in and do your own shopping, and all you needed was one stocker and one clerk,” says Steve Masler, the former curator of exhibits at the Pink Palace Museum. It's unknown why Saunders named the chain what he did, but the mystery intrigued people. In September 1916, he ran one of the first of many bizarre newspaper ads to announce its opening: “The Piggly Wiggly will establish a new fashion,” it read. “Don't come, though, unless you mean business and want to buy something.” The idea of choosing your own items at a grocery store seems commonplace now, but it was revolutionary at the time. Suddenly, after years of going to a general store and handing a list to a friendly clerk, customers were expected to wander the aisles on their own and carry items in a wooden shopping basket. Historian Lisa C. Tolbert, author of Beyond Piggly Wiggly: Inventing the American Self-Service Store, says one of the most radical things about the design of Piggly Wiggly is that the traffic only went one direction. That forced customers to walk by and inspect every product in the store, which increased spontaneous purchases and overall sales. “It's like a vending machine you're walking through,” she says. In 1922, less than a decade after the opening of the first store, there were 1,200 Piggly Wiggly stores in the United States. Then more grocery store chains followed Piggly Wiggly's lead and adopted self service models of their own, and Piggly Wiggly transitioned to the more traditional supermarket model we're all familiar with. Today, there are just under 500 Piggly Wigglys in the U.S. They are in 17 states, partially in the Midwest, but overwhelmingly in the South. It's an outlier in the grocery store industry in the sense that it's managed by individual franchisees across the country and perceived as more local than other nationally known grocery store chains. It's the kind of place where baggers often carry groceries to customers' cars, and you can get a soda for 50 cents. “It's the Piggly Wiggly Way,” said one employee. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Wisconsin State Fair offers 10 days of memory making experiences and the state's dairy industry wants to be front and centerThrough unique partnerships at WI State Fair, Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin works to connect directly with consumers. One partnership accomplishing that is with the Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Promotion Board and Dairy Lane. Stephanie Hughes, a dairy farmer that sits on DFW board representing district 12 says the fair’s milking demonstrations draw plenty of attention. Hughes says that with branded educational materials, industry messaging and talking points, DFW is helping prepare Dairy Lane ambassadors to answer questions and share accurate, engaging information about dairy farming. English-language milking demonstrations are held every day of the fair, and Spanish-language demonstrations are offered each weekend. That helps make dairy education more accessible to even more families. It doesn't end there. New this year is the partnership with Piggly Wiggly on August 14th. This special event will feature a Born To Dairy™ activation outside the Cream Puff Pavilion and Dairy Building from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It will be another fun opportunity for consumers to meet dairy farmers, learn more about Wisconsin dairy and celebrate what makes our state Born To Dairy™. Hughes is also looking forward to the return of the always popular Blue Ribbon Dairy Products Auction. Did you know that DFW creates the cheeseboard featuring the champion cheeses. It’s a beautiful—and delicious—way to highlight the quality, craftsmanship and variety of Wisconsin’s award-winning dairy products while celebrating the cheesemakers and dairy farmers who make them possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to interview Food City Athens,AL, Store Manager Andrea Barnes, and I believe you're going to enjoy her story. Andrea's journey began as a part-time cashier in Chattanooga. Through years of hard work, dedication, and leadership, she worked her way up to become the store manager of the new Food City in Athens. She's also right at home in North Alabama. A graduate of Rogers High in Green Hill, Andrea has a daughter who teaches kindergarten in Limestone County, and she's enjoying one of life's greatest blessings, being a grandmother. During our conversation, we talk about the remarkable history of Food City, from Navy veteran Jack Smith purchasing a Piggly Wiggly in Grundy, Virginia, to opening the very first Food City in 1955. We also discuss the incredible response to the Athens grand opening, support from local officials, what customers can expect, the new stores coming to Oneonta and the County Line Road area, Food City's commitment to giving back to the communities they serve, and the incredible team members who have worked tirelessly over the past several days to prepare for and serve our community. Most of all, this is a story about opportunity. It's a reminder that where you begin doesn't have to determine where you finish. If you enjoy stories about hard work, perseverance, and people making a difference, I think you'll enjoy this one! Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™

25 Forgotten Southern Sides From 1970s Piggly Wiggly That Are Too Good to Forget
Host: Cindy Allen and Pete Mento Published: July 23, 2026 Length: 41:32 Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Trade enforcement is entering a new phase—and importers, customs brokers, executives, and board members may all be in the line of sight. Cindy Allen and Pete Mento unpack the Department of Justice Trade Fraud Task Force's announcement that it surpassed $1 billion in civil and criminal recoveries, penalties, forfeitures, and publicly charged losses in less than one year. They explore what that milestone signals for companies that still treat customs compliance as a back-office responsibility. The conversation moves from CBP Forms 28 and 29 to the government's expanding ability to combine entry, manifest, and supply-chain data with AI-driven analysis. Cindy and Pete debate whether targeting intelligence should be shared with customs brokers and importers, how companies should approach data collaboration, and why “we've always done it this way” is becoming an increasingly dangerous compliance strategy. They also examine the USMCA annual review cycle, possible changes involving regional value content and Chinese-origin inputs, forced-labor enforcement, manufacturing policy, and the consumer behavior shaping global sourcing. Along the way, a Piggly Wiggly shame board, Bob Newhart's apartment, and the toilet-paper aisle become memorable lessons about accountability, consumption, and the true cost of inexpensive goods. This Week in Trade • The DOJ Trade Fraud Task Force surpasses $1 billion in recoveries and charged losses • Cindy's read on the growing significance of CBP Form 29 Notices of Action • AI, anomaly detection, and government supply-chain mapping • The USMCA annual review cycle and potential changes to regional content rules Main Topic / Discussion This episode explores the transition from trade facilitation and informed compliance to a far more aggressive enforcement environment. Enforcement and accountability Cindy and Pete discuss the potential exposure facing importers, customs brokers, executives, CEOs, and board members. Compliance decisions that were once treated as operational details may now create civil, criminal, financial, and reputational consequences. Data, AI, and early warning The hosts examine how CBP can use entry, manifest, supplier, and historical data to identify anomalies. They debate whether the government should share more targeting intelligence so customs brokers and importers can identify problems before an entry is filed. USMCA, sourcing, and consumers The discussion expands to the USMCA annual review process, possible Chinese-content restrictions, regional value content calculations, forced-labor enforcement, domestic manufacturing, and whether American consumers are prepared to accept higher prices or fewer choices in exchange for more ethical and regionalized supply chains. Key Takeaways • Trade compliance is no longer solely the responsibility of the customs or logistics department; executives and board members need visibility into material customs risks and compliance decisions. • CBP Forms 28 and 29 should be treated as warning signals that may justify a broader review of products, suppliers, valuation, classification, origin, and previous entries. • Importers and brokers should use data proactively to identify anomalies, understand enforcement patterns, map deeper-tier suppliers, and address risk before filing. • The USMCA review process, forced-labor enforcement, and possible changes to regional content requirements could reshape sourcing and manufacturing decisions throughout North America.

Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog are coming off a Summer League week that didn't go the way anybody in Vegas planned, and they've got a full show sheet to prove it. They open by picking apart the Wizards shutting down rookie AJ Johnson, detour into an actual geography lesson about where you can find a Piggly Wiggly in Georgia, and Rob gets reminded that talking trash on this show always finds its way back to him — this time from Wizards fans after he named Washington his League Pass dark horse. From there it's a real basketball conversation. Horry breaks down training his son Christian in the gym for the first time in two years, and the guys dig into Jonathan Kuminga's stalled free agency before getting into the biggest story of the summer: Victor Wembanyama turning down the supermax to keep his young Spurs core paid. Horry explains why that move says more about Wemby's character than any stat line could, and the three of them go back and forth on whether he could become the first basketball billionaire — just not off American endorsement deals. The Bam Adebayo–Tyler Herro dust-up gets the full breakdown, including Tim Hardaway's comments about Heat culture and what it actually means to have your guy's back in a locker room. Then it's LeBron for the better part of twenty minutes — who's really leading the sweepstakes between Cleveland, Golden State, Philly, and Miami, why Draymond Green opting into free agency might be a tell, and how weird it is that people are treating LeBron's every move at Fanatics Fest like a decision-day clue. They close out the trade talk with where things stand on Kawhi Leonard, the ongoing NBA investigation, and why the Clippers front office has more explaining to do than Adam Silver let on. Once the basketball talk wraps, Avery Woolery — an 11-year-old kid from Kentucky who jumped in a pool to save a drowning man when the adults around him didn't — gets this week's Big Shot. And then the guys close out with a wild round of Black Crime or White Crime, headlined by maybe the strangest arson story any of them have ever read on air. 00:00 Cold Open: Vegas Summer League Fallout 01:00 AJ Johnson Shut Down & Rookie Development 03:00 Piggly Wiggly Rabbit Hole 04:30 Wizards Dark Horse Pick Comes Back to Bite Rob 06:00 Horry's Week: Disney Trip & Training Christian 08:00 Kuminga Free Agency & Lakers Buzz 09:30 Wemby Turns Down the Supermax 14:00 Could Wemby Be Basketball's Next Billionaire? 16:00 Bam vs. Tyler Herro: What Really Happened 18:30 Heat Culture Debate & Tim Hardaway's Comments 22:00 LeBron Sweepstakes: Who's Really In the Mix 26:30 LeBron and Draymond's Unlikely Friendship 27:30 Decoding LeBron's Decision Timeline 29:00 Cleveland, Philly, or Golden State? 33:00 Weighing Miami's Case in a Loaded East 37:00 Kawhi Trade Stuck in NBA Investigation Limbo 41:00 Free Agency Roundup: Trent Jr. & Clarkson 42:00 Big Shot of the Week: 11-Year-Old Pool Hero 43:00 Black Crime or White Crime

Friday June 12, 2026 Piggly Wiggly Store Fined Nearly $200,000 After Worker Loses 4 Fingers in Meat Grinder
Sometimes, you don't want something to flashy or intimidating!This week there are some meek, tame internet reviews for Omen 4: The Awakening (1991), looking just like Buddy Holly and using Green Gobbler drain cleaner, perhaps the last Piggly Wiggly in Illinois, and Backrooms (2026). For the segment, we take a big, mouth-slicing bite out of a rock and listen to some reviews of apples on Apple Reviews! We keep it nice and easy, I promise.Want more party?

From the first Piggly Wiggly to automated self-checkout machines, the supermarket is a microcosm of modern food systems, labor, and the idea of convenience. On today's pledge drive edition of A Public Affair, host Bert Zipperer speaks with Ann Larson about her book, Cleanup on Aisle Five: Essential Work, Poverty Wages, and the View from Behind the Supermarket Register. Larson got a job at a supermarket at the outset of the COVID pandemic after spending a few years on the margins of the professional class in New York City. She worked for over a year at a grocery store before leaving and writing her book. Her main takeaway from that experience is that there is no such thing as unskilled labor. Supermarket cashiers, like herself, need patience, technical and communication skills, product knowledge, and more. They're also likely to develop repetitive stress and muscular-skeletal disorders, workplace injuries that increasingly go un-investigated due to cuts to OSHA. The second lesson of Larson's book is that all laborers have dignity. When workers–like cashiers–are underpaid, they become devalued. In our culture, status is tied to pay, but Larson wants to bust the myth that so-called “low-skilled” workers deserve low pay. She says that unfortunately we seemed to have quickly forgotten the lessons about essential work that the pandemic taught us. From her time cashiering, Larson saw the supermarket function as a community space where people could escape from the heat or cold, for example. But it's also a place of precarious labor. On top of that, the shift to self-checkout machines in the name of “convenience” shifted labor from their employees to their customers. They also discuss the issue of Piggly Wiggly, the lack of unionization among retail workers, and the need to enforce anti-trust laws. Note: This pledge drive interview was edited to remove parts of the show dedicated to station fundraising. We thank our listeners for their generous support. Ann Larson's writing on education, debt, and low-wage work has appeared in The New Republic, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Fast Company, and The Nation, among other publications. She is coauthor of Can't Pay Won't Pay: The Case for Economic Disobedience and Debt Abolition and is a fellow with the Economic Hardship Reporting Project. She lives in Salt Lake City, UT.

Surprisingly enough, he's a grandfather. Alright Doug, what's the lede? Doggies in PKs? The Comeback? Stan Kroenke collecting sports championship infinity stones? Good call on the under, Doug. Herrera's walkoff was not a good piece of hitting. Still +12500 to win the World Series. 41 more wins cashes the over ticket. Wetherholt the favorite to win NL ROY. Chairman gave his tickets to Tim and his son because "The Companion" canceled. Don't tell the four year old it was a six inning game last night. Fan interest is picking up.Happy 80th Birthday, Cher! McGreevy with a little shoutout to Jackson pregame yesterday. Mentioned TMA during his sit down with Frank. Doggies get the win in penalties last night. Four months until the next round? EPL talk. Mt. Rushmore of handsome men.The Heat Is On. Bubba Puffington. The answer of course is Bronson Pinchot. How do you pronounce Herrera's name? Audio of his walkoff homerun. Audio of Herrera post game talking about the team's trust in each other. Audio of Oli Marmol on BK and Ferrario talking about pulling McGreevy after 75 pitches.Happy anniversary to this song. Doug cheated and needs to be suspended. Audio of Drink talking about Ahmad Hardy's condition and his recovery. The Tarps Off Boys got moved into the right field bleachers last night. First pitch kinda got away from him. Drink also talking about if he'd like to see the "Tarps Off" trend hit Faurot Field. Crud yeah, I loved it.

In this episode of the One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast, Arlina sits down with Joe Gallagher - entrepreneur, author, and two-year sober miracle. Joe shares his journey from childhood trauma and 20 years of failed recovery attempts to launching a spaghetti sauce company 60 days sober and landing interest from 1,100 grocery stores. You'll hear how Joe finally surrendered after his fifth arrest and seventh suicide attempt, what made this recovery stick when the previous two decades didn't, and how service, community, and massive action became the foundation of both his sobriety and his business. His book "From Bars to Jars: A Saucy Redemption Story" is available now, and his honesty about childhood abuse, self-forgiveness, and faith makes this one of the most courageous conversations on the show.

La historia de Clarence Saunders es de esas que te enseñan más sobre bolsa que un MBA entero. Saunders era un tipo de Tennessee que, en 1916, tuvo una idea tan simple que nadie la había tenido antes: ¿y si en lugar de que el tendero te trajera las cosas, las cogías tú mismo de las estanterías? Así nació Piggly Wiggly, el primer supermercado de la historia. Un nombre ridículo para una revolución absoluta. En 1923, Saunders era rico, lo que se dice muy rico. Pero un día se enteró de que varios fondos de Wall Street estaban apostando contra su criatura. Cortos masivos contra Piggly Wiggly. Y Saunders no era de los que se quedan mirando. Así que hizo lo impensable: empezó a comprar. Sin parar. Llegó a acumular el 99% de todas las acciones de su propia empresa. El precio se fue de 39 a 60 dólares en semanas. Los bajistas estaban atrapados: tenían que devolver unas acciones que literalmente solo tenía él. Era el short squeeze perfecto, el golpe definitivo de David contra Goliat. Y entonces pasó lo que nadie esperaba. La Bolsa de Nueva York, que hasta ese momento nunca había intervenido así, paró la cotización. Les dio a los cortos cinco días de prórroga. Cinco días para deshacer posiciones que, en condiciones normales, les habrían reventado. Saunders perdió todo. La empresa, la fortuna, el imperio... Los tiburones ganaron cuando la Bolsa decidió quién merecía protección y quién no. Te cuento esto porque esta semana ha pasado algo que me ha recordado mucho a Clarence Saunders. En el nuevo episodio de Actualidad Semanal +D lo contamos todo, con nombres, cifras y el contexto que los titulares nunca te dan. Sin solemnidad, sin gráficos que parecen jeroglíficos, sólo buena conversación para entender qué demonios está pasando en los mercados; y por qué debería importarte. Búscalo en tu aplicación de podcasts. Dura lo que un café largo y un croissant. El mercado no se toma vacaciones y nosotros tampoco.
On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene interviews Nico Molino, co-founder of Live in Luxury, who shares how he transitioned from tech sales into building a high-end short-term rental business. Nico explains how a unique opportunity, a renovated 110-year-old Piggly Wiggly grocery store, became the foundation for a scalable STR portfolio. Nico walks through how he identified the property's potential, redesigned it into a standout Airbnb experience, and ultimately increased revenue by converting it from two smaller units into one large, high-demand rental. He highlights how differentiation, storytelling, and amenities play a critical role in standing out in today's competitive STR market. The conversation also explores Nico's shift into mid-term rentals, where he and his team leveraged corporate housing strategies to build predictable income streams. From there, he expanded into helping investors launch short-term rentals using a data-driven approach that balances tax benefits with long-term profitability. Jonathan and Nico emphasize that short-term rentals should be treated like a true business, not passive income. They discuss the importance of strong operations, professional design, and understanding your market to maximize returns and avoid costly mistakes. In this episode, you will hear: • How Nico turned a historic Piggly Wiggly into a high-performing short-term rental • Why larger, unique properties can outperform standard rentals • The role of amenities and design in driving higher nightly rates • How mid-term rentals can provide stable, lower-maintenance income • Why short-term rentals should be treated like a business, not passive income Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

Big Fat Five: A Podcast Financially Supported by Big Fat Snare Drum
Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. I'm Ben Hilzinger, and this is another segment of The Drum Panel. This week I'm joined by Eric Urrea (La Armada, Marina City) and Matt Crouse (Working Drummer podcast). In this episode: Why doing less with your podcast might be the only way to keep it alive The quiet way a podcast can land you real gigs years later Craigslist vs. Nashville vs. “just being in someone's brain” The real thing bandleaders notice that has nothing to do with chops Caring vs. coasting, and why people can feel it instantly The weird mental spiral of over-practicing and then freezing on stage Why taking a break might fix something faster than grinding it The shift from loving drums to needing them, and what that cost We re-address whether drummers deserve songwriting credit… and why it's still messy Why some songs wouldn't exist without the drum part, even if no one admits it --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Meanwhile, Kevin discovered something unexpected in Iceland: their version of a Piggly Wiggly.

From Backyard Roasting to Birmingham Roastery | Bert Davis of DaySol Coffee What does it take to turn a backyard hobby into a thriving coffee business? In this episode of The Localist, Carrie Rollwagen talks with Bert Davis, co-owner of DaySol Coffee, about growing a specialty coffee brand from roasting beans in his Colorado backyard to opening a full roastery in Birmingham's Pepper Place district. Bert shares lessons about business partnerships, scaling a small business, building systems over time, managing wholesale accounts like Piggly Wiggly, and knowing when to expand even when you don't have all the information. If you're a small business owner — or thinking about becoming one — this conversation offers practical insights on sustainable growth, delegation, and building real community through entrepreneurship.

In this episode of Next in Media, I sit down with Kiri Masters, host of the Retail Media Breakfast Club podcast, to explore the biggest shifts happening in retail media advertising. We dive into the recent announcement about ads coming to ChatGPT and what that means for brands trying to meet consumers where they are. Kiri shares her perspective on whether AI-powered shopping will truly disrupt the retail media landscape - and why she's optimistic that LLM-based ads could actually be more relevant and less annoying than traditional formats. We also unpack the Walmart-Google partnership and discuss what it signals about the future of conversational commerce.Beyond the AI conversation, we tackle some of the industry's most pressing questions. Will we see consolidation in retail media networks this year? Can shoppable TV finally gain traction? And what happens when offsite retail media faces competition from platforms with their own transactional data? Kiri brings both historical context - including a fascinating story about Piggly Wiggly's self-service revolution - and forward-looking insights about how brands and retailers need to collaborate differently. Whether you're a marketer navigating this space or just curious about where AI and commerce intersect, this conversation offers a clear-eyed look at what's real, what's hype, and what's coming next._______________________________________________Key Highlights
We pride ourselves on our ability to cover a lot of ground within the confines of this podcast, and this episode might have pushed those skills to new heights as we went from Thanksgiving to food assistance to more secrets from Milwaukee's dining scene and beyond.The Journal Sentinel's excellent dining critic Rachel Bernhard thoughtfully gathered information about restaurants offering free assistance to SNAP recipients (the program is called FoodShare in Wisconsin) and then added a few more programs/events in her weekly newsletter. We highlight a few things, but please use those links to see all the ways you can give help or get help.In a much less critical part of this episode, we talk about five places where you can get a humanely raised turkey for your holiday meal. Top billing goes to Riemer Family Farm down in Brodhead, which is already sold out of their small whole turkeys but still has medium and large options available. Other nods go to local spots like Bavette La Boucherie and Becher Meats in West Allis, and the full list is available at Milwaukee Magazine.Also at the magazine, Ann put together a hush-hush collection of hidden restaurants around the area. The coolest one for my money is Azteca Bakery, which peddles items like Mexican pan dulce and richly delicious chocoflan from inside … the Piggly Wiggly on Oklahoma Avenue. She's got three other options along those lines, all of which you can learn more about in her Milwaukee Magazine article.If two lists aren't enough, you're in luck. Going back to the upcoming holiday, Ann jumped to the end of the meal (or the beginning if you're a nonconformist) to give you 10 places that'll hook you up with the perfect pie for your Thanksgiving feast. Finally, with the weather turning, that means it's time for Barnacle Bud's to turn into Gene's Supper Club. The flip happened earlier this week, but it looks like the temperature will dip in a big way starting this weekend, giving you all the more reason to visit the extended pop-up between now and Feb. 14.Stay warm, inside and out, as we move into the chilly season, and please find a way to help your community during this tough time. Even if our politicians get their act together, fighting hunger requires more than what our government gives. So give what you can. Thanks.#####This Bites is sponsored by Whiskey Brown's Whiskey-Spiked Cookies.

Send us a text*Donate on GoFundMe to help me direct my first short film!*When sports got its own network. When the most famous video game character burst onto the scene. Supermarket chains that faded into history.Episode 211 of the podcast bridges the gap between Labor Day and the beginning of fall with a heavy dose of Gen X nostalgia.The show starts in the olden days of the 1970s. Back then, sports were limited to local news broadcasts and a select few games on major networks. Then, in 1979, a revolution began. The letters ESPN have become synonymous with excellence in sports broadcasting, but it had to start somewhere. We take a deep dive into the beginning of the first 24-hour sports channel.40 years ago this week a plumber changed the world of gaming forever. We go back and look at the debut of Super Mario Bros. for the NES. In the decades since his humble beginnings, Mario has become the most popular and profitable gaming franchise ever. It is a trip down memory lane just with lots more coins, mushrooms, and koopas. In a new Top 5 we will take a trip around some defunct supermarket chains. Did you ever get your groceries at any of these?There is, as always, a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking at the first self-service supermarket, Piggly Wiggly.You can support my work by becoming a member on Patreon.

Too much fun in this interview with Nicole McLaughlin, culinary producer for "allrecipes," known as the "home for the home cook." Nicole talks about growing up in an Italian family (and yes, Trish asks about those Sunday suppers), the family butcher who worked at the Piggly Wiggly, and how very important food was growing up. Nicole knew she wanted to do something in the culinary world and she says it was pure luck (unlucky for someone else) in how she ended up in front of the camera for "allrecipes." She shares her secrets for cooking on a budget - in fact, she says she's "mastered" it, so maybe take some notes! This lover of libations and master of the "perfect bite" will certainly leave you hungry for more.

Marc & Kim welcome you to another action-packed morning on the Marc Cox Morning Show! Opening Day kicks off with some rain in Downtown St. Louis, but the Cardinals game will go ahead, despite a bit of a wet start. The show dives into the heated debate over Wentzville School District's removal of a book from its library, facing accusations of book banning. Caroline Levitt makes a fiery appearance, challenging the mainstream media and Democrats over their silence on the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster that left 13 U.S. service members dead. She blasts the media's outrage over leaked Signal texts, calling it a "nothing burger" and exposing the left's distractions. Kim and Marc discuss Florida's proposed changes to child labor laws as a response to labor shortages post-COVID, exploring the debate over allowing teens to work longer hours. Finally, Marc shares nostalgic stories about past jobs, quirky grocery store memories, and South Carolina politics, with a nod to Piggly Wiggly and its connection to local history.
Recently, TGJ Editor Tom Coyne was joined by longtime friend (and Sullivan County GC co-owner) Bill Murray for an epic Southeast road trip. The pair started in Charleston, SC, made their way to Old Barnwell in Aiken, then cruised down for two days at Ohoopee Match Club in Georgia. Of course, when one of the finest deadpan comic actors of all time is in the passenger seat, you tend to make a few pit stops. All the world's a stage, and local gas stations and a Piggly Wiggly become settings for Bill's brand of curious, good-natured fun. It's a leisurely drive, with discussions ranging from the 1960s film phenomenon that saved the Coyne family's cinema business to Bill's recent Scotland-to-West Palm-to-San Diego golf bender and much more.
