This week I take a look at Bigfoot sightings in Kentucky, an audience member requested location! Pike County is the easternmost county in Kentucky, bordering West Virginia. Stories in this episode include a deer hunter who encounters a startled Sasquatch; a man in a doctor's office notices an anxious Bigfoot out the office window; a group of men on a hunting trip encounter a Bigfoot crossing the road in front of their truck; a man sees Sasquatch crossing the highway as he's driving to work; and a man has two encounters with a bipedal creature at his parents' home, 30 years apart.

For decades, coal was more than an industry in Pike County, Kentucky. It was a way of life, powering homes, paychecks, and a deep sense of identity. But as the economy shifts, residents there are also grappling with growing political divisions within their community.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with repeat guest Alex Mortensen of Buckhorn Land Management. We discuss: Alex Mortenson started Buckhorn Land Management after selling his first farm at 21. Selling his first farm was an emotional decision, especially with young kids at home. He bought a second farm in Pike County, drawn by its deer sign and tillable land. The second farm had great access, allowing for easy hunting without pressuring the deer. Neighbors' hunting pressure impacted deer movement on his first farm, influencing his decisions. He learned the importance of neighbor dynamics when purchasing land for hunting. Alex's new farm features a lake, enhancing its recreational value for family and friends. He used OnX to plan the lake's layout, achieving impressive accuracy in depth and design. The new farm's appraisal came back higher than the purchase price, a pleasant surprise. Alex aims to create a family-friendly space while still hoping for good deer hunting opportunities.

On August 3, 1907, a peaceful summer morning in Blooming Grove turned to horror with the accidental discovery of 75-year-old John Newman's body partially hidden behind a stone wall. Though no blood was found on his clothes, it was clear that he had not died of natural causes when a gaping wound was discovered beneath his shirt. So killed the elderly Pike County farmer, and why?

Season 5, Episode 16 - We are on the homestretch of our series Exploring State Parks in the Poconos. Recently, we explored Promised Land State Park which is in Pike County - not far from Interstate 84.We learned some great insights from Park Manager Sara Jade Woodsmith about the park's beach, campgrounds, history and more. We also paddled for a bit around the lake with Kara Derry, who's helped lead the new group Friends of Promised Land. And we learned a lot about the history of the park, one of the oldest in the state and with ties to the New Deal programs.The Poconos is a year-round destination for millions and with 24-hundred square miles of mountains, forests, lakes and rivers with historic downtowns and iconic family resorts, it's the perfect getaway for a weekend or an entire week. You can always find out more on PoconoMountains.com or watch Pocono Television Network streaming live 24/7.

Ken and Dave discuss lowering the British voting age, Democrats on Epstein, Florida Man strikes again, Trump's swollen ankles, ousting Colbert, Chris Carr getting dirty, PBS on its own, and the government gets involved in crypto. ----- This episode of the "Let Me Tell You Why You're Wrong Podcast," hosted by Dave Roberts and  Ken Pullin, covers a range of current events and political discussions.    • Local Government Issues: Ken Pullin shares insights into Pike County's local government, including his dissent on tax incentives for a solar farm and the general lack of public discussion on important items in commission meetings. He expresses concern about decisions being made without proper deliberation and the absence of televised public meetings in Pike County, advocating for greater transparency. He also critiques past decisions by the Industrial Development Authority, such as losing money on movie studio projects during an economic downturn. • Coldplay "Kiss Cam" Scandal: The hosts discuss the viral incident involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR Head Kristine Cabot who were caught on a "Kiss Cam" at a Coldplay concert, leading to Byron being placed on leave. The clip showed them "cuddling and smiling" before attempting to hide when seeing themselves on screen. Social media reactions to the event were also highlighted. • Brant Frost Financial Scandal: An update is provided on Brandt Frost IV, who issued an apology for his actions, taking "full responsibility". The discussion raises questions about whether this will become a criminal matter and mentions calls for politicians to return campaign donations from the Frost family. Notably, Brant Frost V, the son, filed paperwork to create a new lending firm shortly after his father's firm shut down, which the hosts found suspiciously timed. • UK Voting Age & Populism: The UK's decision to lower the voting age to 16 in all elections is debated, with concerns raised about "taxation without representation" as the reasoning and the broader implications for populism in politics. • Epstein List Controversy: The ongoing saga of the Epstein list is touched upon, including the political back-and-forth regarding its release and the recent directive from Trump to release grand jury testimony. The hosts discuss the challenges of linking individuals on flight manifests to illegal activities. • Miscellaneous News:     ◦ A Florida man was arrested for molesting goats at a zoo.     ◦ A discussion about chimpanzees adopting fashion trends with grass and sticks.     ◦ The media's focus on Donald Trump's chronic venous insufficiency (swollen ankles) is contrasted with their perceived lack of attention to President Biden's health.     ◦ The cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2026 is announced, with critical commentary on Colbert's comedic style and political focus.     ◦ The Georgia Governor's race is mentioned, specifically the legal challenge by Chris Carr against Burt Jones regarding a $10 million campaign loan.     ◦ Congress's $9 billion budget cut, including over a billion dollars from NPR and PBS, is discussed and largely supported by the hosts, who argue public broadcasting should be self-funded.     ◦ The new "Genius Act" regulating stablecoins is explained, highlighting the benefits of easier international money transfers but also raising concerns about a potential cashless society and government control over finances.

Join Dave Roberts and Ken Pullin for Episode 379 of Let Me Tell You Why You Wrong, where they blend backyard reality with political insider drama. They open with life in Pike County under blistering summer skies—Ken's just marked his 22nd wedding anniversary while juggling his daughter's  Georgia Tech orientation (an $85 registration fee!) and the sticker shock of a $700 parking pass (Uber to the rescue, maybe). From there they steer into Atlanta's frenzy—$400-plus tickets to the MLB All-Star Game, Beyoncé's surprise country-music stop, and a preview of Whiskey Myers in Macon—before diving headlong into Georgia's next big showdown. Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones finally threw his hat into the governor's ring after the filing deadline, self-funding a $10 million launch video that features a surprise walk-on by Donald Trump and fond memories of his days kicking around the Bulldog football field. Dave and Ken unpack Jones's platform—abolishing the state income tax, fighting fentanyl, barring trans girls from girls' sports, and ending movie-industry tax credits—and compare it to Attorney General Chris Carr's $3.5 million war chest, the ever-teasing Marjorie Taylor Greene, and other potential contenders like Brad Raffensperger and Mike Collins. No Georgia episode would be complete without scandal, and this week the Frost family of Newnan steals the spotlight. Once major Republican donors, Brandt Frost 4 and his son Brandt Frost 5 now face an SEC civil suit accusing them of fleecing roughly 300 investors out of $140 million through their “Patriot Funds/Dollars” program, promising implausible 12–18% returns on risky loans while allegedly funneling $19 million into their own pockets (including a $320 000 rental home) and dumping $570 000 into political contributions.  They round out the show with a look at federal policy and public-health alarms: DHS's sudden end to the 19-year shoe-removal rule, Pam Bondi's flip-flop on the Epstein “no list,” an “activist judge” stay blocking Planned Parenthood defunding, and the routine—but controversial—purge of 478 000 Georgia voter-registration records. On the home front, one in three U.S. teens now carries pre-diabetes, a Delta A330's engine failure led to a 30-hour layover in the Azores, and Washington County's DUI cover-up—where private hires of a certain public defender triggered wholesale dismissals—remains a cautionary tale. Unfiltered, unapologetic, and undeniably Georgia, it's another roller-coaster hour with Dave and Ken.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso, presented by our friends at Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. It's rivalry weekend in MLS, and it's kind of fitting that Atlanta hosts Philadelphia on Saturday night. Not sure if the league truly sees it as a rivalry, but it's felt that way on the field over the past few years. Philly won 3-0 earlier this season and Atlanta will be trying to build on their draw in Austin from Wednesday night. Philly came back to win 3-2 on a late goal from Tai Baribo against the LA Galaxy on Wednesday. Georgia HS state champions have been crowned the and the season will come to a close tonight in Duluth and in Macon. It's the 2A state championships in Macon, our friend Matteen Rad will be on the call for the NFHS Network there as Drew Charter's boys face Shaw while Pike County's girls play Savannah Arts. Madison Crews and I will be in Duluth for 5A as Roswell's girls try to finish the season unbeaten as they play Northgate while Sprayberry's boys try to knock off top ranked River Ridge. Join us on the NFHS Network starting at 5pm.Barcelona won their 28th La Liga title against their rivals Espanyol as Lamine Yamal scored another brilliant goal. It's a treble year for the Blaugrana as they added to their previously won SuperCopa and Copa del Rey. However, it wouldn't be Barcelona if there were stories about financial silliness. They're trying to get the VIP ticket sale completed that somehow allowed them to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor done in order to help their accounts and salary limit for next season. Watch the video as I try to make sense of it all (probably failing to do so). Be on the lookout on our social media accounts (@SoccerDownHere) for clips from Jude Bellingham today as he spoke to FIFA this week about Real Madrid's ambitions for the upcoming Club World Cup. It's a big opportunity for them to start the Xabi Alonso era off right. They're also trying to add CB Dean Huijsen and LB Alvaro Fernandez ahead of the tournament. Inter is trying to add Marseille winger Luis Henrique as well as 3-4 other players for the tournament. They're also trying to win Serie A and the Champions League before that. They host 5th place Lazio this weekend while league leaders Napoli travel to relegation threatened Parma. A win for Napoli combined with a loss for Inter would send the trophy south to Naples. Anything else sees it come down to the final weekend. More in the video and podcast, Morning Espresso will be back on Monday morning to recap the weekend.Have a great weekend y'all!

Can one teacher change the course of a student's life? Can curiosity survive in a system that prioritizes conformity? October Sky is more than just a heartwarming story about a boy and his rockets—it's a powerful look at the impact of education, ambition, and the struggle between dreams and expectations. But how accurately does it reflect today's schools? Are students still discouraged from pursuing unconventional paths? Do educators still have the power to ignite change? In this review, we'll break down what October Sky gets right (and where it misses the mark) when it comes to the modern classroom.   Takeaways: Curiosity and inquiry are still not be nurtured in schools Project based learning allows students to be self directed and follow their passions Dreaming doesn't get you where you want to be- action is required Just don't quit! - Advice from Michael Having a network helps when you get stuck   About Michael Duncan: An award-winning superintendent and longtime champion of education transformation, Dr. Mike Duncan is the President and CEO of Battelle for Kids.

Arlie Hochschild, a sociologist from Berkely, has spent a chunk of the last decade in ruby red areas of the United States. During that time she's written two books: Strangers In Their Own Land (which was a finalist for the National Book Award in 2016) and now, Stolen Pride. Arlie interviewed dozens of people from Pike County, Kentucky–the whitest and second poorest district in the country–to better understand what's happening in the rust belt and why those voters are so drawn to Donald Trump. In her view, it's not just about the economy, trans rights, or climate change, but about loss, shame, and ultimately pride. Arlie invites us to open our minds and ears so we can learn about one another and begin to come together.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jessica Schmidt gives an update on season one by explaining where the Pike County Massacre case stands right now, as of August 2024. She touches on George "Billy" Wagner's upcoming trial and George Wagner the 4th's pending appeal. 

PIKE COUNTY, Miss. (WLBT) - The suspect who shot and killed a Summit Police officer Thursday had a warrant filed weeks earlier, ordering law enforcement to arrest him for violating conditions of a 2020 prison release, according to records obtained exclusively by 3 On Your Side. Our investigation reveals that Usher Leonard, 25, had violated his post-release supervision requirements by failing to check in with the Mississippi Department of Corrections for more than a year. It's unclear whether Leonard's apparent violation of the law might have played a role in what took place Wednesday when state investigators say he shot and killed Summit Police Officer Troy Floyd. However, WLBT found the affidavit supporting a warrant for Leonard's arrest came nearly 20 months before the court apparently approved it, on October 10, 2022. The court did not provide any documentation for the delay in its official filings or docket. Leonard's post-release conditions stemmed from a 2018 conviction on 11 burglary counts and eight counts of conspiracy to commit burglary in Pike County. He served two years of a six-year sentence, with MDOC releasing him through earned release supervision. Seven months later, authorities found Leonard had violated his post-release conditions by failing to pay court fines or complete his restitution.

From East Palestine, Ohio, to South Baltimore and beyond, we've been connecting you with residents living in the toxic wastelands left by private and government-run industry—ordinary working people who have been thrust into extraordinary fights for their lives. In the latest installment of our ongoing Sacrificed series, we go to Toledo, Ohio, a city that, in 2014, lost access to its water supply for three days straight due to a massive, toxic algal bloom caused by runoff from industrial animal farming. We speak with filmmaker Mike Balonek and welcome back Chris Albright, a resident of East Palestine, to discuss the connections between the Norfolk Southern train derailment disaster and the Toledo Water Crisis. We also talk about an upcoming conference in Toledo on Saturday, August 3, hosted by the Justice for East Palestine Residents & Workers coalition: “Is your community a sacrifice zone? A conference on corporate-caused disasters.” The conference will focus on the Toledo Water Crisis, the derailment in East Palestine and the need for better railroad safety, and the radioactive poisoning of residents living near the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Pike County, Ohio. The conference will also feature the world premiere of filmmaker Mike Balonek's new documentary The Big Problem In The Great Lakes, a film about the Toledo Water Crisis of 2014.

In April 2016, eight members of the Rhoden family were found shot and killed in cold blood in the small community of Piketon, Ohio. The killings were targeted and methodically carried out at four different crime scenes, leaving behind very little evidence.

"Vina Colley was Erin Brockovich before Erin Brockovich," Kevin Williams wrote in a 2020 Belt Magazine article titled, "The Poisonous Legacy of Portsmouth's Gaseous Diffusion Plant." Williams continues, "Colley has become an unlikely citizen-scientist, spending a lifetime researching and documenting PORTS and its sins... Colley was hired as an electrician at the facility in 1980 and worked there for three years. 'I was exposed to everything. We were cleaning off radioactive equipment that we did not know was radioactive. They never told us,' Colley told me. Then, she said, her hair started falling out, she developed rashes, and 'I got really sick and went to the hospital, not knowing that it was my job causing me all these problems. I had big tumors.' In the four decades since, she's faced a range of health problems, including chronic bronchitis, tumors, and pulmonary edema." In this episode, we sit down with Colley herself to talk about growing up in Ohio during America's Cold War atomic age, her experience working as an electrician at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, and her decades-long fight to hold the plant and the government accountable for what they've done to her, her coworkers, and her community, and to get them the compensation they deserve.

Gaylyn Morris convicted in the death of her boyfriend after she uses an Apple AirTag to track him to a bar. She then, repeatedly ran over him in a parking lot, killing him, in front of bystanders.  Andre Smith, 26,  is having drinks with another woman when Morris reportedly confronted Smith and the woman at Tilly's Pub in Indianapolis. The ensuing argument gets all three thrown out of the pub.  Once outside, witnesses say Morris got into her black Chevrolet Impala and drove forward, knocking Smith down. She then reportedly put the vehicle in reverse and drove forward over him again. Medics located Smith's body under Morris' car outside the bar. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Morris, 26-years-old at the time, was tried for murder, but was convicted only of voluntary manslaughter. Morris will spend the next 18 years in prison.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Laprecia Sanders - Victim's Mother  Darryl Cohen - Former Assistant District Attorney, Fulton County, Georgia, Defense Attorney, Cohen, Cooper, Estep, & Allen, LLC, CCEAlaw.com Dr. Angela Arnold - Psychiatrist, Atlanta GA, AngelaArnoldMD.com, Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum Women, Former Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Obstetrics and Gynecology: Emory University, Former Medical Director of The Psychiatric Ob-Gyn Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital Joe Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", Featured on "The Piketon Massacre: Return to Pike County" on iHeartRadio Lee Reiber - Mobile Device Forensic Expert, COO: Oxygen Forensics, Inc., Author: "Mobile Forensic Investigations: A Guide to Evidence Collection, Analysis, and Presentation", oxygen-forensic.com, Twitter: @Celldet and @oxygenforensic  Richard Essex - Investigative Reporter, WISH-TV, Twitter: @RichardEssexIII, Facebook: RichardEssexTV  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
