Automotive History Live marks Pontiac's 100th anniversary with Tim Dye tracing the brand from Edward Murphy's 1893 Pontiac Buggy Company to the 1907 Oakland Motor Car Company and GM's purchase after Murphy's 1909 death. He covers Oakland's 1924 quick-drying paint and early four-wheel brakes, GM's “car for every purse and purpose,” and Pontiac's 1926 debut at $825, record 76,742 first-year sales, and rapid expansion into the "Daylight Plant." Dye highlights key eras including the end of Oakland in 1931, wartime production, and Pontiac's performance transformation under Bunkie Knudsen, Pete Estes, and John DeLorean—racing wins, Wide Track, Tempest innovations, the GTO, OHC six, Firebird, and the Endura bumper—plus influential advertising and design. He recounts Pontiac's final years, the last Pontiac built (a white 2009 G6), and how he tracked it down, alongside museum and convention milestones. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Buggy Company Origins 02:14 Chief Pontiac Namesake 03:16 Oakland Becomes Automaker 04:54 1924 Innovations Tour 06:11 GM Ladder and Pontiac Launch 08:30 First Pontiac Stories 10:49 Myths and Promoters 14:03 "Daylight Plant" Expansion 14:37 Depression and Oakland Ends 15:41 War Work and Reinvention 17:45 Wide Track and Tempest Tech 20:39 Racing Dominance to GTO 23:39 The DeLorean Era Innovations 27:36 Design Ads and Leadership 30:10 World Tour and Final Home Plant 31:37 Last Pontiac Hunt 33:44 Museum and Centennial Wrap 34:42 Sponsors and Closing Credits ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram This episode is part of our AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY LIVE!

Pontiacs are getting rarer, brand-specific car clubs are under pressure, and yet one Houston-area group is doing the opposite of shrinking. We sit down with Karl Wick from the American Pontiac Association to unpack how a nonprofit Pontiac club founded in 1982 rebuilt momentum after COVID, doubled membership in just a few years, and kept its identity without shutting the door on enthusiasts who do not currently own a Pontiac. If you care about the future of car culture, this conversation is a playbook on consistency, welcoming energy, and showing up in public with purpose. We also get specific about two standout Texas waterfront car shows. Karl shares what makes the Galveston Pier 21 setting so special for spectators and owners alike, plus how to find details through AmericanPontiac.org. Then we dig into Woody's Waterfront Car Show in San Leon at Topwater Grill, including how APA stepped in to keep the event growing, what turnout looks like, and the key rules and logistics that make the day run smoothly. Expect clear details like registration timing, the $30 entry fee, and the pre-2009 cutoff that keeps the field vintage-focused while still welcoming all makes and models. To round out the hour, we jump into automotive history for the week ahead and deliver a Texas-friendly race card and weekend events calendar covering dirt oval racing, short track asphalt, and regional meets.

Featured Musician: Natives of the New Dawn THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: The show notes, eventually.]  --------------------- 1. UTEP Preview starts at the top Offensively they're a Rich Rod spread 'n shred with a running QB and not-good guards. Did some nifty things to Oklahoma but once they run out of ideas they're not much of a threat. Defensively they're a 3-3-5 Tite or 3-3-5 that is probably going to play like TCU did to mitigate a very small DL. Problem is they can get crumpled. Also their secondary can get ripped. Start with PA, practice your stretch, maybe figure out some counters to the ways they will take away the QB run game. 2. Oklahoma After Review: Defense starts around 19:41 The Oklahoma offensive line was butt, maybe. This allowed Jay Hill to play 3-3-5 and trust JHD/Nichols/Pierce/Etta/Lea'ea to dominate. Review of the young DEs is positive, with caveats. Linebackers are doing too much, Staehling is coming out positive but he's limited. Bowles is Moutoning it out there. Is this a 3-3-5 thing? Chase Taylor still a puppy, Beers was too much for him. Hopefully that's a Beers is Good thing (he got Bracy as well). Secondary is as advertised except Rod Moore. Advertised is VERY VERY good. Last talk about the switching issue. 3. Oklahoma After Review: Offense starts around 40:13 Fixable issues. They made things easy on Bryce and ran him, which was playing to win, but he's still someone they have to shepherd along and Venables is excellent at doing the aggressive things to shut that off. Lots of "I don't know how that was supposed to work" plays, and people not climbing. Next step week. Running back: DO SOMETHING! 4. The History of College Football with Greg Dooley starts around 1:05:47 Dooley's course has long been a favorite among students; now you can come too. Got all the Michigan history nerds to come in and do our parts. We discuss some of the parts I came in to speak about, and what Part II might entail. Featured Artist: Natives of the New Dawn I used to work the merch table for my best friends' band (Oblivion) and would often trade their CDs with the other bands for their albums. After a few years of this I had quite an extensive collection of the Ann Arbor/Detroit music scene of the 2000s. A die-hard Tally Hall fan sent me rummaging through the collection, and while I still can't find the damn CD she wanted that I took a photo of when I put them all on iTunes, I've have begun transferring the collection to .flacs, and figured I can get a season out of sharing my finds as they come up. There was little question which band I'd feature first, since their literal tagline is "Your favorite band's favorite band."* Natives were kind of a Super Band. We played with Vince Mann's prior group really early—I want to say Move-In Day on Palmer Field in 2001—and then caught his new funk/hip-hop/rock fusion group Natives of the New Dawn a few times after he formed it by picking up a couple of session musicians, a local DJ, and other well-regarded musicians from the area. I remember them being the best dudes, and I remember they were blowing up quickly in 2006-'07, which was after one of them finally stopped wearing a Spider Man suit to shows. This was a weird era after Napster but before legalized streaming, when Payola ruled the airwaves and major labels only wanted Nu Metal bros who were too dumb to read their contracts. The result were these super-groups that formed out the glut of local talented musicians all trapped together at various 200- to 300-person venues like St. Andrew's, the Magic Stick and the I-Rock in Detroit, the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, Clutch Cargo's in Pontiac, Ypsi's Tap Room, and of course The Sanctuary in Hamtramck, which was where the bands all would go to play for each other. The songs here are all from Bliss, which the internet says is from 2007, which sounds late to me. * [Actually it's At the Drive-In]. Songs: Your Boy Good Day People    Also because Across 110th Street will get our Youtubes taken down, the opener and outro: “The Employee is Not Afraid”—Bear vs. Shark “Ruska Vodka”—Motorboat

Travels With Randy Route 66 In The Fall of '26 Episode 4 is here! Starting At The Beginning - Navy Pier Down To Springfield Route 66 Travel Updates Randy discussed his ongoing Route 66 travel project, sharing updates about new attractions he's discovered including murals in Pontiac created by the Wall Dogs group and a new mural square nearly complete. He mentioned that the calendar is now being sold in four locations including Pontiac, Odell, Bloomington, and Gardner. Randy also highlighted a unique Coca-Cola memorabilia collection in Gardner that he visited, noting it contains extensive items in a small space. Chicago Trip and Family Stories Randy shared his experience driving a van to Chicago, describing parking challenges and his solution of finding an open-air parking lot that cost $70 for overnight parking. He explained how he used Chicago's public transit system for $5 per day to explore the city, including visiting Navy Pier and attending a Cubs game. Randy also revealed that his grandfather had worked as an elevator operator at the Wrigley Building while studying for the ministry, and according to family lore, Mr. Wrigley gave him a lifetime pass to Cubs games. Route 66 Evolution Discussion Randy and Bubba discussed the historical evolution of Route 66, including changes to its starting and ending points over the decades and the recent addition of Navy Pier. They explored how the route's purpose shifted from being the primary transportation highway to becoming a nostalgic travel experience, with many towns benefiting from increased tourism. Randy mentioned a bill currently in committee that would make Route 66 a national trail, which would provide benefits similar to what happened when Indiana Dunes became a national park, potentially increasing visitors significantly. Route 66 Illinois Highlights Discussion Randy and Bubba discussed Route 66, focusing on its history and key attractions in Illinois. Randy recommended starting in Kansas or Illinois and suggested exploring one state at a time rather than the entire route. They highlighted notable stops including the American Giants museum in Atlanta, Carl's Ice Cream in Bloomington, and the Gemini Giant in Wilmington. Randy shared insights about the route's evolution, noting that early alignments were more natural and winding than the later, more efficient routes, and mentioned that some sections now require four-wheel drive due to changes over the decades. Route 66 Travel Stories Randy shared stories about his travels along Route 66, including visiting an automotive upholstery company in Berwyn that has operated for 100 years and exploring Joliet and Romeoville. Bubba shared his experience of living in Joliet for a couple of years with his wife Lynn, who also worked for CBS in downtown Chicago, though they later moved to Charlotte due to the challenging two-hour commute. Randy also discussed his visit to the Rialto Square theater in Joliet, which was built around the same time as Route 66 and is currently undergoing HVAC construction. Route 66 Celebrations in Illinois Randy and Bubba discussed Route 66 celebrations in Illinois, noting that Chicago doesn't have citywide initiatives while the state is implementing benches and painted cars in locations like Pontiac. They shared experiences about living in Illinois, with Bubba mentioning his childhood in Decatur and Randy commenting on the cultural divide between Chicago and the rest of the state. Randy announced plans to visit St. Louis the following day to begin the Missouri portion of his Route 66 journey, including a scheduled Anheuser-Busch brewery tour for his birthday. Route 66 Photography and Calendar Randy and Bubba discussed the standardized appearance of alien figurines in pop culture, which Bubba attributed to their origins in 1930s-40s comics featuring "Grays" with large heads and eyes. Randy shared an incident where AI incorrectly replaced people with a flower bed in one of his photos, leading to an embarrassing social media mistake. They discussed Randy's upcoming Route 66 photography trip, including plans to visit Missouri and reach Seligman on the 11th, where he will meet Angel who is 99 years old. The conversation concluded with updates about their popular Route 66 calendar, which is selling well with 39,000 followers and 100% 5-star reviews, though they noted it will be a limited edition and likely sold out by mid-October.   SO.

"MK Confidential" opens on the front door of Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez. Sheriff's deputies knock on the door and ask to search her house for a missing toddler. She has never met Casey Anthony, or her daughter Caylee. She's cleared by the police that same day — and then her phone number gets out, the threatening calls start. She loses her job and her reputation. All for sharing a name with someone Casey Anthony invented.Megyn traces that invented nanny back to 2006, two years before Caylee disappears. Casey describes a babysitter her family never meets, attached to a man Casey barely knows and a little boy who does not exist. On June 16, 2008, Casey tells her father that Caylee will be staying overnight with “Zanny.” It the last day George sees his granddaughter.Thirty-one days of excuses follow, as Casey empties a friend's checking account, tattoos “Bella Vita" on her shoulder, and parks a white Pontiac beside a dumpster, with the car seat still in the back. Finding the car is just the beginning, as Casey's lies begin to fall apart.

Then, we have a great conversation about leaning back into goal-driven running content instead of just lifestyle posts.

After surviving 17 years in Michigan prisons, Dawgface says the streets he returned to play by an entirely different set of rules. In this episode of Perspektives with Bank, Big Bank sits down with the self-described “ghetto spokesman” to unpack how street culture, prison, hip-hop, and social media have collided into what he calls an entertainment economy. Dawgface traces his journey from Pontiac to Detroit, entering the streets at 15, cycling through juvenile detention, and eventually serving a prison sentence from 1992 to 2009. He reflects on violence, carrying bullets in his back, Nation of Islam structure and self-policing behind the wall, and how fatherhood and a powerful letter from his grandmother helped change his mindset. His years studying history, religion, and politics would ultimately reshape how he viewed the world outside. Dawgface and Bank then debate what happened to traditional street codes in an era where rap lyrics, podcasts, gossip, and social media can shape reputations, fuel character-assassination campaigns, and potentially become evidence in RICO investigations. They tackle gossip versus accountability, Atlanta’s real “trenches” versus the version outsiders see, rap personas versus street reality, and Bank’s responsibility as a media figure. For Dawgface, the biggest difference between yesterday’s streets and today’s culture is simple: everybody has a platform, everybody has a narrative, and the streets have become content.

Robert Hogans was convicted in Michigan in connection with the September 1990 abduction and killing of Pamela Kay Bandy. Bandy was abducted from a car wash in Pontiac, Michigan, and Hogans placed her in the trunk of her own Cadillac. He then drove around with her trapped inside for approximately six days. During that time, Bandy was unable to obtain adequate food or water and ultimately died from a combination of starvation, dehydration, and methanol poisoning after ingesting windshield-washer fluid.When Pontiac police stopped Hogans on September 24, 1990, on an unrelated outstanding warrant, they discovered Bandy's body in the trunk. Hogans was subsequently prosecuted and convicted separately for his role in Bandy's death. Robert Hogans is serving a sentence of life without the possibility of parole.Music licensed through Soundstripe.

In December 1776, a Delaware Chief named White Eyes stood before the Second Continental Congress. He had not come to declare himself a revolutionary, nor had he come to pledge his loyalty to King George III. White Eyes came to test a promise.What does the American Revolution look like to people for whom independence was never a question? For the Delaware, also known as the Lenape, the War for Independence raised older and harder questions:Whose word could be trusted? What choices can we make about whether to fight, stay neutral, or flee that might let our community remain itself on the land we know?Jeremy Johnson, Cultural Education Director for the Delaware Tribe of Indians, traces Lenape and Delaware history from long before European contact through the American Revolution.

Kelli Bryant -- the Pontiac mother accused of leaving her three children to live alone in squalor for years -- has been sentenced. WWJ's Tony Ortiz and Tracey McCaskill have the afternoon's top news stories.

Photo: Notah Begay III, who is Diné and from the pueblos of San Felipe and Isleta, is the 2026 recipient of the Payne Stewart Award. (Courtesy PGA) The PGA Tour has bestowed one of its highest honors, the Payne Stewart Award, to a four-time PGA Tour winner who is also a citizen of the Navajo Nation. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Notah Begay III excelled at swinging a club. His success on the fairway afforded him the chance to play college golf beside Tiger Woods at Stanford University – winning a national team championship in 1994. Begay is widely considered the first Indigenous golfer to compete on the PGA Tour. When accepting the award on Tuesday, Begay noted how Native Americans have the lowest graduation rates and life expectancies in the U.S. among all ethnicities. “So for me to be standing up here as a Stanford graduate with a degree in economics, four-time PGA Tour winner and a television broadcaster accepting this prestigious award is a miracle.” Entrance to White Mesa Mill in southeastern Utah. (Photo: Gabriel Pietrorazio / KJZZ) A uranium mining company missed a Monday deadline to turn over communications between its executives and the feds. KNAU's Chris Clements reports that is according to House Democrats, who have launched an investigation into Energy Fuels for potential insider trading. Two House Democrats allege the Trump administration may have tipped Energy Fuels off about the cut to Bears Ears National Monument before it happened, leading company executives to invest in their own firm. One of the Democrats is U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman, D-California. “The timing and the volume of these stock purchases are conspicuous and speak for themselves.” Huffman asked the company to send a year's worth of communications with the feds, as well as its lobbying contracts, by August 24, but Energy Fuels did not provide the materials by that deadline, according to a spokesperson for Huffman. In a statement, the company said it strongly rejects the idea that anything improper took place, but did not deny that it missed the deadline. Energy Fuels stands to benefit from less protections to the uranium-rich monument, the lawmakers argue, because the company owns the White Mesa Mill, the only conventional uranium processing mill in the United States. Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minnesota, has signed an executive order blocking new state mineral leases and halting permitting work for proposed nonferrous mining projects in the Rainy River Headwaters Watershed near the Boundary Waters. The National Congress of American Indians praised the move, saying it protects treaty rights, Tribal resources, and culturally significant lands from potential mining-related pollution. NCAI also recognized the Bois Forte, Fond du Lac, and Grand Portage Bands of Lake Superior Chippewa. The three 1854 Treaty Tribes have pushed for protections in the region and earlier this year joined the Red Lake Nation and an Anishinaabe First Nation in Canada in a cross-border effort to protect the watershed. NCAI Executive Director Larry Wright Jr. says the order provides immediate relief, but permanent protections are still needed. The organization is calling for federal legislation permanently withdrawing the Boundary Waters and Rainy River Headwaters from mineral leasing and development. Jeffery Amherst painting by Joshua Reynolds. And on this day in 1763, British commander Jeffery Amherst wrote a letter calling for the destruction of Native people resisting British expansion. The letter came during Pontiac's War, when a confederation of Native nations fought British forces around the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Amherst also supported efforts to spread smallpox among Native people, one of the most infamous examples of biological warfare discussed during the colonial era.

On this episode of Party of Six, we have a wide-ranging panel conversation on hospitality, focusing on Beckaly Franks tracing her path from Idaho and Portland to Hong Kong, building community, and the pitfalls in international hospitality. Sarah Dawn Mars talks about breaking down the finance side of bar ownership, and Menakshi Singh shares a fresh update on opening a new bar in southern India. Key topicsIn this episode, Beckaly Franks shares how growing up around a family bar in Idaho shaped her view of hospitality as “an extension of home” rather than just a job.Beckaly walks through her early career path from Portland to high-volume nightlife spots like Thunder Ranch and Dixie Tavern, and how performance, service, and event-making became her foundation.Beckaly details how winning the 42 Below global competition became a major credibility moment that opened international doors, including her path to Singapore and then Hong Kong.Beckaly gives a candid breakdown of the Pontiac in Hong Kong, describing it as a shoebox-sized craft cocktail dive bar with 14 seats at the bar, a heavy back bar, a strong visual identity, and a clear culture-first philosophy.She shares how the Pontiac's all-female core team and inclusive hiring philosophy were intentional, and how that helped create a space for women, queer guests, and a broad regular community.Beckaly also opens up about the difficult side of business, including toxic partnership dynamics, a failed Bali expansion, the impact of Hong Kong protests, and the strain of COVID on operations.Sarah Dawn Mars explains how Overproofff grew out of her own experience learning bar finance the hard way, then moving into hospitality tech and realizing how many operators avoid the numbers until it is too late.Sarah and Chris compare the gap between accounting data and actual hospitality decision-making, arguing that operators need more than a P and L and that generic financial advice often misses the realities of running a bar.Menakshi Singh shares that her newest bar opened in the south of India after a long process of relationship-building, traveling together, and evaluating a higher-capex opportunity over nearly three years.

From a nameless wind-swept Midwest town came Merrily, an innocent creature bound for Hollywood beneath a horrible perm, her face entombed in pancake makeup thick enough to withstand the California sun. Into Bob Barker's glittering Price is Right kingdom she strode. The lights blinded her as she sauntered past rows of mustachioed men in enormous collars and women tucked into high-waisted brown slacks that seemed engineered to repel both fashion and human affection. The gods of Plinko and Pontiac had written her name upon the heavens, for as she bid upon refrigerators, dinette sets, and speedboats, she was clearly destined to become a gameshow legend. Finally, Merrily reached the Showcase Showdown, her perm blazing like a thunderhead, and with one sacred spin seized victory from the grasp of fate, returning to the cornfields forever crowned in avocado appliances and the terrible majesty of retail price.

Recalls, real prices, and a brutally honest look at what a modern pickup costs when you spec it like a luxury car. We start by sorting through this week's automotive recalls, including Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator updates, a Mustang Mach E trim concern, F-150 and Super Duty camera issues, a Genesis G80 fix, and a Mercedes-Benz recall situation big enough to make you want to open SaferCar.gov right now and check your VIN.Then we pivot to the fun part: auction results. We play “guess the sale price” using Hemmings listings and talk through what the numbers might be telling us about the collector market. From a sharp 1960 Ford Country Squire wagon to a C6 Corvette, a modified Mustang, a surprisingly affordable 1991 Cadillac Eldorado, and a Pontiac wagon that sells for far more than expected, it's a fast tour of how originality, condition, and rarity move the needle.The highlight is our 2026 Ram 1500 Longhorn Crew Cab 4x4 review. We break down interior comfort and tech like massaging seats, Uconnect 5, surround-view cameras, premium audio, and air suspension, then dig into the 3.0L twin-turbo Hurricane HO inline-six with 540 hp and 521 lb-ft of torque. We also talk real-world fuel economy expectations, towing and payload numbers, and the pricing reality when a “work truck” becomes an $80K-plus full-size pickup.

Tom Dosdall, StoneX, joins the program to discuss the firm's latest expectations ahead of an August 12 WASDE report.Marlon Eilts, Country Financial Representative out of Pontiac, talks about risks on the farm.

For over a century, witnesses across Michigan and Wisconsin have described the same impossible figure – upright, wolf-headed, and aware of being watched. Some walked away with scars, others with a story they were afraid to tell for decades.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/dogmanREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckpcp8sFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Across Michigan and Wisconsin, encounters with an upright, wolf-headed figure span more than a century – from nineteenth-century logging camps to farm roads, deer stands, and suburban backyards. Witnesses describe a creature with human-like hands, glowing eyes, and an unsettling awareness of being watched, several of them staying silent about what they saw for years rather than risk being disbelieved. Hunters, drivers, and at least one retired sheriff's deputy all report the same detail – something that watches back, and in more than one account, something that speaks.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:06:13.435 = Show Open00:08:57.805 = Part One00:18:33.555 = Part Two ***00:46:24.349 = Part Three ***01:00:02.576 = Part Four ***01:14:17.255 = Part Five ***01:27:28.423 = Part Six ***01:34:00.844 = Part Seven ***01:46:18.276 = Show Close01:47:34.794 = SONG: “Dogman of Silver Creek” by Dark Weirdness*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March 22, 2025Weird Darkness devotes a full episode to the Dogman, the upright, wolf-headed cryptid reported across Michigan and Wisconsin for more than a century, moving through firsthand encounters, a claimed government cover-up, a witnessed fight between a Dogman and two Sasquatch, and a side-by-side comparison of Dogman folklore against traditional werewolf mythology.It opens with the creature's documented history, tracing the first alleged sighting to 1887, when a group of lumberjacks in Wexford County, Michigan described a being with the body of a man and the head of a dog during the state's great logging era. Similar reports followed in Allegan County in the 1950s and in Cross Village, Big Rapids, and Manistee County during the 1960s, while Elkhorn, Wisconsin became the center of activity in the early 1990s. The segment also catalogs standalone incidents tied to the legend: four horses found dead with their eyes open in 1917, seven-foot-four claw marks reported on a church door in 1957, a farmer found dead at his plow surrounded by oversized canine tracks in 1997, a 2006 backyard sighting in Shelby Township, Michigan, and an army veteran's account of a wolf-headed creature pacing his truck through Manistee National Forest. Odawa oral tradition describing a two-legged, wolf-like being near Lake Michigan predates all of it, and the episode raises the theory that Dogman sightings cluster in years ending in seven.From there, the episode turns to the case that gave the cryptid one of its best-known names: the Beast of Bray Road. Lori Endrizzi's fall 1989 sighting on Bray Road outside Elkhorn, Wisconsin, first documented by researcher Linda Godfrey in the 2003 book "The Beast of Bray Road," describes a kneeling, brownish-gray figure with long claws that turned to meet her headlights. Two years later, on Halloween night 1991, Doris Gipson struck the same stretch of road and was chased by a clawed, upright creature that clung to her car's rear bumper as she fled. Walworth County Animal Control officer Jon Fredrikson began compiling reports in a manila folder marked "Werewolf," which grew to include a December 1990 sighting by a child witness, clawed tracks near Potter's Road that led locals to nickname the creature "Pottsy," a 1990 roadside sighting by Mike Etten, and two separate encounters reported by high school student Tom Brichta. The same story traces the legend back further still, to 1936, when night watchman Mark Shackleman encountered a six-foot, black-furred creature scratching at an Indigenous burial ground outside Racine, Wisconsin's St. Coletta Convent, a creature that reportedly spoke a single word, "Gadarah," a name tied to the biblical account of Jesus casting out demons at Gadara.Next, the episode moves to a February 2012 case from rural Chenango, New York, where Brandon Close and his neighbor Gene pursued the source of a scream that had left Close's cattle huddled against an electric fence, only to be chased through the woods by an eight-foot creature that kept pace with their all-terrain vehicle at highway speed. The account continues with an unmarked black van and armed personnel arriving at Close's property the following day, ultimately removing the memory cards from his trail cameras.A separate account follows a Big Rapids, Michigan night watchman's 1961 encounter with a six-foot, grayish-brown creature outside his home near the Haymarsh State Game Area, an incident the witness says he photographed under a streetlight.The episode then recounts an anonymous 1992 camping trip in which the witness watched a black, long-armed creature stalk him along a dry creek bed before a Sasquatch intervened, leading to a violent fight that ended when a second, larger Sasquatch killed the Dogman and dragged its body into the woods.Hunting-season encounters follow, beginning with Peter's October 16, 2012 experience in Pontiac, Illinois, where a wolf-sized creature bit his arm during a chase near his family's deer stand before inexplicably retreating. A separate witness describes two Dogman sightings twenty years apart, the first in Alto, Michigan in 1988 and the second in nearby Lowell, Michigan in 2008, when a blue-eyed creature that had followed him since childhood appeared on his roof and spoke a single word, "Don't."Another segment follows Derek, an Ohio mycology enthusiast, to a 2016 night-fishing trip along the Mahoning River in Niles, Trumbull County, Ohio, where he encountered a crouching creature near an old train trestle that stood to meet his gaze before retreating into the brush.A Fitchburg, Wisconsin case follows college student Matt, who in 2006 heard a scream during a minor earthquake and glimpsed a wolf-headed, humanoid figure in a passing car's headlights. A separate story follows a man identified as Mark to his late grandfather's cabin in Sierra County, Ohio, where he discovered why his grandfather had banned the family from the property for years, after an unseen creature chased him back to the cabin and reappeared at the tree line with two others.A Reed City, Michigan hunting party's four-day encounter in November 2007 follows, in which Sam and his companions repeatedly crossed paths with a yellow-eyed, hunchbacked creature that left claw marks on a rifle stock and a cabin door. The episode then follows Gabe to a rural Montana property, where lightning revealed a broad-shouldered, upright creature in his yard, followed weeks later by a closer encounter near his satellite dish that prompted him to move.Retired law enforcement officer Laura Love's account follows, describing a nearly seven-and-a-half-foot, dark-furred creature that struck a truck near the West Weber Road overpass on U.S. Highway 31 before vanishing into roadside brush. A separate story follows Janet, who for years believed she had seen a deformed bear near Danbury, Wisconsin's Long Lake before her son's own Dogman sighting prompted her to reconsider what she and her sister-in-law Amy witnessed on Rustic Road.A November 7, 2016 account from Duluth, Minnesota follows, describing an anonymous graphic designer's sighting of a hunched, wolf-faced cr

In Metro Detroit, it's not enough to talk about transit plans. There are tons of ideas out there. It's about action. I sat down with SMART General Manager and CEO Tiffany J. Gunter to dig into what it really takes to run a 2,000‑square‑mile suburban transit system that people can rely on. We get into the essential stuff: on‑time performance, keeping buses maintained and in service, and why Tiffany started by "going back to basics" while also upgrading shelters, adding Wi‑Fi, and insisting on more dignity for riders. We also also talk about the culture shift of running transit in a region dominated by the car, the 30% rise in ridership SMART is seeing, and how free student rides and better communication are building a new generation of riders who don't see the bus as "for someone else." You'll hear how Oakland County's all‑in vote opened the door for SMART's first new routes since the 1990s, why microtransit in places like Pontiac and Dearborn is exploding, and what's at stake as Wayne County voters consider going all‑in this August. Tiffany also explains why she rides the buses herself, why collaboration with DDOT and the Transit app matters, and where autonomous vehicles actually fit — as a last‑mile tool, not a silver bullet like many may think. If you care about where Metro Detroit's economy and talent go next, this one's worth the ride.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power...He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people." In this episode, we unpack Grievances #11, #12, #23, and #24 of the Declaration of Independence and the relationship between Americans and the various types of armed troops in North America, from militias, to British regulars, to the Continental Army. Topics include the following: -the shared British and American tradition of opposing standing armies--because if they are not disbanded after wars, they are used by tyrants to take away the rights of the people -the perception of American colonists that the King had stationed 10,000 soldiers in North America in 1763 precisely so he could enforce his tyrannical policies on them -the various functions of Colonial militias in the 17th and 18th centuries, including war-fighting, civil policing, and preventing slave uprisings -the strained relationships between the Colonial militias and British regulars during the 7 Years' War and Pontiac's Revolt -the role of the Battles of Lexington and Concord in forcing Congress to create the Continental Army -the political significance of the name the Continental Army, as opposed to the American or Congressional or Colonial Army -the political significance of appointing George Washington, a Southerner and Virginian, as Commander of a mostly Northern militia force -an introduction to Washington's senior officers: Artemas Ward, Israel Putnam, and Charles Lee -initial British assessments of the strength and effectiveness of the new Continental Army -the importance of the American victory at Fort Ticonderoga in reshaping the war; namely, the capture of British soldiers meant that American rebels would not be summarily executed as seditious traitors but treated with basic PoW protections -a discussion of Grievance #24, that King George has ordered war crimes to be committed against innocent civilians -the tendency on both sides to commit war crimes against the civilian population and efforts by officers on both sides to discipline soldiers who abused the civilians population Dr. Chandler's book can be found here: [War, Patriotism and Identity in Revolutionary North America](https://boydellandbrewer.com/book/war-patriotism-and-identity-in-revolutionary-north-america-9781783274376/?v=0d149b90e739) The cover image is a drawing of an American Soldier in 1778 by Friedrich von Germann (1744–1794), Captain of the Brunswick Regiment Erbprinz.

Travels With Randy Route 66 Episode 16 is here! And We End At The Beginning! Illinois - Springfield To Navy Pier Route 66 Historical Sites Tour Randy shared his experiences visiting historical sites along Route 66 in Illinois, including a tour of Ace Sign Company in Springfield, a business spanning six generations, and Funk's Grove, a maple syrup farm operating for five generations. He discussed the unique presence of giant roadside statues in Illinois, particularly noting the state's fondness for large human figures. The conversation also included a brief exchange with Beth about the prevalence of city names like Atlanta across different states. AI Voice Assistant Capabilities Discussion The discussion focused on two main topics. First, they discussed the common town name "Riverside" and how it appears in nearly every U.S. state, though not quite every state. Second, they explored the capabilities of an AI voice assistant named Beth, who was able to provide instant, relevant responses to questions about van travel and Route 66. The conversation concluded with an observation about increased traffic and international visitors on Route 66, though the speakers noted this might represent different levels of "picking up" for them versus local experts. Central Illinois Childhood Experiences Bubba discussed his experiences growing up in Central Illinois, particularly around towns like Decatur and Warrensburg. They talked about the weather in the region, with Bubba sharing his experiences of harsh winters and pleasant summers. Randy shared an interesting find during a photography trip along Route 66, discovering a junkyard artist creating sculptures from heavy equipment. The conversation concluded with a discussion about photography as art, with Randy expressing his perspective on capturing existing art rather than creating it himself. Academic Achievements and Energy Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed Bubba's son's academic achievements and potential college tuition assistance. They then conversed about the prevalence of windmills in central Illinois, comparing them to solar farms and discussing the challenges of wind energy. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the different areas of Chicago and its suburbs, particularly focusing on Route 66's path through the region. Route 66 Murals Discovery Randy shared his experience visiting Pontiac, Illinois, where he discovered a series of murals created by the Wall Dogs artist group in 2009. He discussed a particularly impressive Route 66 mural featuring cars from different eras and a futuristic vision, as well as learning about Bob Waldmire, an artist who traveled Route 66 and lived in a van before passing away in 2009. The conversation concluded with Randy receiving encouraging feedback from Beth about his own travels and photography along Route 66. Route 66 Travel in Illinois Randy and Bubba discussed their Route 66 travel experiences in Illinois, particularly around Wilmington and Joliet. Randy explained how different Route 66 alignments exist in Illinois, with the state doing a good job of marking the correct route with regular signage, especially along business routes. They noted that Illinois maintains the route well, unlike some other states where signage can be inconsistent or confusing. Route 66 Travel Experience Discussion Randy shared his experience traveling Route 66, highlighting Illinois's improved signage system and the recent change in Chicago's ceremonial starting point to Navy Pier. He discussed the logistics of visiting the new starting point, noting parking challenges for larger vehicles. Randy recommended allowing two days per state for the journey, suggesting early morning drives and considering the timing for viewing neon signs. Route 66 Travel Experiences Randy shared his experiences traveling Route 66 across 8 states, noting that Kansas stood out to him due to its small size and strong commitment to the route, while Texas was his least favorite section due to poor signage and lack of engagement from local authorities. He praised Oklahoma, Missouri, and Illinois for their effective signage and town participation, and highlighted New Mexico's unique historical route through the Santa Fe Loop. Randy expressed hope that the upcoming Route 66 Centennial celebrations would encourage more people to experience the historic route, particularly families taking summer road trips. Route 66 Project Planning Meeting Randy and Bubba discussed their new Route 66 project, including a 16-month calendar and a 10-pack of postcards featuring photos from the route. The calendar will go to production in June and be ready for shipping in July, with a website launch planned for Sunday. They are also working on establishing two locations per state where the calendar and postcards can be purchased. Bubba will handle storage and shipping through his book business, and they plan to continue posting photos on their Facebook page and potentially start new photo series in the future.   SO. MANY.

In this episode of the ROCC Pod, Jon Gay talks with Tiffany Gunter, General Manager and CEO of SMART Bus, about the role public transportation plays in Southeast Michigan and how SMART is working to improve service, access, and perception across the region. Tiffany starts by sharing her career path, which began outside of public service in retail and automotive before a job posting for urban planning led her to SEMCOG. That opened the door to transit work, including time with the Regional Transit Authority, city management in Birmingham, and eventually SMART. SMART (Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation)  serves Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties, along with parts of Detroit, through fixed-route buses, paratransit service, community transportation partners, and Flex microtransit. The Flex service works more like Uber or Lyft, giving riders curb-to-curb service through an app. It helps solve the first-mile and last-mile challenge, especially in a region where people may live too far from a bus stop to walk comfortably. Pontiac has been one of the strongest examples, with SMART reaching one million Flex rides across its five pilot zones. SMART is also launching free rides for students beginning May 1. That includes K through 12 students, college and university students, and apprenticeship programs. Tiffany says the program is not just about giving away service. It helps families, builds ridership, and teaches the next generation how to use public transportation. She also explains that higher ridership helps SMART draw more state and federal funding. The conversation also covers SMART's connection to Royal Oak. Tiffany says Royal Oak has long been a strong transit partner, with a major transit center and access to Amtrak. SMART is preparing a facility assessment through an architectural and engineering contract, and Tiffany sees an opportunity to rethink what the Royal Oak Transit Center could become. Tiffany also talks about the cultural challenge of promoting transit in the Motor City. She says the lack of strong regional transit is not just about car culture or the auto industry. It is also tied to missed political opportunities, regional disagreement, and the fact that Southeast Michigan's road network gives drivers many options. Still, younger generations are less attached to driving, which creates a chance to build new habits. SMART is also focused on performance. Tiffany describes the “Down with OTP” campaign, a play on Naughty By Nature, where OTP means on-time performance. SMART improved from 62% to 76%, with a goal of 85%. Drivers now track garage-by-garage leaderboards, and Tiffany says the competition has helped build pride and better service. She also points to Wi-Fi, cleaner shelters, ADA improvements, and a 40% ridership increase on Woodward and Gratiot between February 2025 and February 2026. The episode closes with Tiffany sharing how martial arts shaped her leadership style, how her mother became her best friend and source of strength, and how SMART is using social media and augmented reality to help more people understand the system before they even step on a bus.

Helium is the last thing most drivers think about until a car can't ship because a chip can't ship. We follow a surprising thread from helium balloons to the clean rooms where semiconductors are made, and why a strained global helium supply can raise fresh questions about automotive chip availability. If you remember the pandemic-era semiconductor shortage, this conversation makes one thing clear: the next bottleneck might come from a material most of us never associate with cars.We break down what helium actually does inside a semiconductor fab, including how it helps purge contamination during wafer processing and supports precision steps like extreme ultraviolet lithography. Then we connect the dots to the vehicles you see on the road, from advanced driver assistance systems to EV hardware and infotainment. Because liquid helium boils off so easily, stockpiling is not simple, so logistics and semiconductor grade supply matter as much as the raw production numbers.From there we shift into the fun stuff that keeps car people glued to the weekend: Jeff's racing calendar with NASCAR and IndyCar, plus a few schedule notes influenced by world events. Mike brings This Week in Auto History, touching Pontiac milestones, the Oakland name that helped shape GM history, the polarizing Honda Element, and the Mustang's legendary launch day. We also hit current headlines, including EV registration trends after tax credit changes and the update on Carroil Shelby Way at Ford.If you like smart car talk with real-world supply chain context, listen now, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more drivers can find us.

This Sunday we welcome Ronnie Pontiac — author, researcher, and former assistant to Manly P. Hall — to explore the hidden history behind his latest book, The Rosicrucian Counterculture: The Origins and Influence of the Invisible Society. We trace the strange saga of Rosicrucianism from 17th‑century Germany to the courts of Rudolf II, through Descartes, Fludd, Dee, Ashmole, and the alchemist‑pirate Prince Rupert. We follow its underground influence on the English Revolution, early America, and even modern psychedelic and pop‑culture movements. What was the Invisible Society? Who shaped it? And why does its influence still echo today? A deep dive into esoteric history, hidden networks, and the counterculture that never really disappeared.

In this book, Ronnie Pontiac shows how Rosicrucianism's underground influence in the early-modern period continues to the present, providing the important historical context of this invisible society.Pontiac looks at the esoteric culture around Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II and his court, including figures like John Dee, Tycho Brahe, and Rabbi Loew, the legendary creator of the Golem of Prague. Despite occultists' fascination with Rudolf 's successors, Frederick and Elizabeth, at the start of the Thirty Years' War—and Rosicrucian efforts to make Frederick the first Protestant Holy Roman Emperor—the esoteric renaissance in Bohemia was short-lived. However, this wasn't the end of Rosicrucianism.Pontiac explores the movement's impact on Oliver Cromwell and the English Revolution as well as individuals such as Robert Fludd, René Descartes, Elias Ashmole, Moritz the Learned, Paracelsus, and William Shakespeare. He then details the movement's arrival in the New World, including the Rosicrucian activities of Connecticut's alchemist governor, John Winthrop the Younger. Looking to the present, Pontiac shows how both pop culture and the modern psychedelic counterculture are informed by Rosicrucian ideas, showing the enduring legacy of this esoteric movement.Ronnie Pontiac worked as Manly P. Hall's research assistant for seven years. A producer of award-winning documentaries, he is the author of American Metaphysical Religion and coauthor with Tamra Lucid of The Magic of the Orphic Hymns and the 10-part YouTube video series The Unobstructed Way.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

On January 23, 1999, 2-year-old Teekah Lewis vanished from New Frontier Lanes bowling alley in Tacoma, Washington. That night, Teekah was there with her mother, Theresa, and several other relatives. She was playing in the arcade when her mother briefly looked away to bowl. When Theresa turned back, Teekah was gone. Panic set in as family members searched every corner of the building, hoping she had simply wandered out of sight, but Teekah was nowhere to be found. Police were called, and despite extensive searches, no trace of Teekah surfaced.Witnesses offered only fragments of clues. One recalled a maroon Pontiac speeding out of the parking lot around the time Teekah disappeared. Another described a suspicious man inside the bowling alley who had followed a child toward an exit that evening. He was able to give a detailed description of the man, including that he had a pockmarked face. Then, more accounts emerged of unsettling incidents involving children at or around New Frontier Lanes, raising the possibility that the bowling alley and the surrounding neighborhood may have been used as a hunting ground by a predator or predators. For decades, those scraps of information were all investigators and Teekah's family had to go on, but in 2025, Teekah's case finally began to gain momentum. Through it all, Teekah's mother has never stopped searching for answers. Theresa has worked tirelessly to keep her daughter's story alive for nearly 27 years, clinging to the hope that someone may have taken Teekah to raise as their own, a far easier thought than the darker alternatives. Today, she wants what any mother in her position would: the truth about what happened to her little girl, and the chance to bring her home.If you have any information about the disappearance of Teekah Lewis, please contact the Tacoma Police Department at 253-287-4455 or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
