This week's episode is a full cross-country recap of our travel week. We kicked things off in New York City for Zachariah's live show, plus his SPICY moment on Hot Ones. From there, we headed straight to Salt Lake City, where a very enthusiastic Mormon couple attempted to convert us. They were like... totally obsessed with us. Then we made a spiritual pilgrimage to Swig to get our hands on some dirty sodas! Of course, Zach almost had a bathroom emergency at the Mormon temple that sent us sprinting to Nordstrom. Then we got on a spooky scary shaky flight to Portland, OR and not gonna lie we were scared lol the aggressive turbulence was real. Then Jonathan covers the story of a toddler who literally eats books and furniture, and Zach covers the story of a loose pig named Breakfast who is terrorizing a New York neighborhood.

Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!On the night before Thanksgiving, November 24th, 1971, a man in a dark suit and a sensible tie took seat 18C on Northwest Orient Flight 305—a short hop from Portland to Seattle aboard a Boeing 727. He ordered bourbon and soda, smoked his Raleighs, and handed a folded note to the flight attendant. It wasn't a phone number. It was a promise. Inside the briefcase, he said, was a bomb. What followed would become the only unsolved hijacking in American aviation history: a case file swollen with false confessions, river drags, suspect sketches, and a handful of decaying bills that surfaced years later like a message from a ghost. In this true crime deep dive, we unravel the legendary 1971 hijacking of Northwest Orient Flight 305 by the man calling himself Dan Cooper—mistakenly immortalized as D.B. Cooper. Calm, well-dressed, and carrying what he said was a bomb, Cooper demanded $200,000 in cash and four parachutes, then jumped out of a Boeing 727 mid-flight over Washington State… and was never seen again.In this episode, we break down the full timeline of the hijacking, how the FBI launched NORJAK (Northwest Hijacking), why the 727's aft airstair mattered, the discovery of ransom money on the Columbia River years later, and the leading suspects who've been tied to the case—none of whom were ever charged. More than 50 years later, the D.B. Cooper case remains the only unsolved skyjacking in U.S. history.You'll hear:Who D.B.

Daniel Brophy was a beloved chef and culinary instructor at the Oregon Culinary Institute in Portland. At 63 years old, he was passionate about teaching and loved by his students. On June 2, 2018, Daniel was found shot to death inside his classroom—murdered in the place he loved most. The investigation led police to an unlikely suspect: his wife, Nancy Crampton Brophy, a romance novelist. Years before Daniel's murder, Nancy had written an essay titled "How to Murder Your Husband." In it, she detailed various methods of killing a spouse and getting away with it. Investigators discovered Nancy had purchased gun parts online, taken out life insurance policies on Daniel, and her car was captured on surveillance footage near the culinary school the morning of the murder. In May 2022, Nancy Crampton Brophy was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. This case is a chilling reminder that sometimes, truth is stranger—and darker—than fiction.

The war on drugs isn't just a problem south of the border — it's a looming threat to U.S. cities and communities. From the rise of cartel influence in Mexico under President Claudia Sheinbaum to the growing danger to American law enforcement and border agents, this episode exposes the deadly intersection of organized crime and politics. We break down how cartel-backed assassinations of high-ranking Mexican officials highlight the stakes, discuss the flow of U.S. military equipment into cartel hands, and examine the threats facing American cities like Chicago, Portland, and Los Angeles. With Trump's warnings and tactical responses under the microscope, listeners get a front-row seat to the shadow war unfolding on both sides of the border.
In this episode we meet Paul, KI7ADC, and Raoul, W7RPS, both avid users of the Icom IC-905 VHF/UHF/SHF radio.

Paul and Raoul live in the Portland metro area and have had experience on the ground and mountain topping with the IC-905. They have explored using SSB, FM, D-STAR and ATV modes on 1.2 GHz, 2.4 and 5.6 GHz. If you have ever been interested in moving up the frequency spectrum to the microwave bands, the IC-905 is a very easy way to get up and on the air.

Oregon's second-largest brewery, Rogue Ales, just shut down after 37 years – owing over half a million in rent and taxes. But here's the kicker: this isn't just happening in Oregon. It's a nationwide brewery apocalypse, and guess what's driving it? The same progressive policies that promised to help workers and communities are literally killing the businesses that employ them. We dive into how skyrocketing costs, plummeting beer sales (down 20% since 2020), and anti-business policies in blue states are creating the perfect storm for economic destruction. From Seattle's mayor protesting against Starbucks to Portland's drug decriminalization disaster, we explore how ideological purity trumps economic reality every single time. When your expenses go through the roof but you can only charge so much for a beer, the math stops working – and that's exactly what's happening across America. Are we witnessing the death of craft brewing culture, or just the inevitable result of policies that sound good but destroy livelihoods? What do you think will be the next major industry to collapse under these pressures? Like and subscribe if you're tired of watching common sense businesses get crushed by uncommon nonsense policies!

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the White House's growing anxiety over the economy, the nationwide crackdown on illegal migrant truck drivers, new DHS surges into sanctuary cities, the rise of openly socialist leadership on the West Coast, and escalating tensions with China in the Pacific. White House Softens Tariffs as Prices Rise: President Trump acknowledged that tariffs may be affecting consumers and announced lower rates on coffee, beef, bananas, and other staples. Prices have soared due to weather, crop disease, and global demand rather than tariffs alone. Bryan explains that the cuts signal the administration's concern that working families are still struggling and that midterm voters may blame the GOP if the economy does not improve soon. Families Fear the Cost of Children: A new American Family Survey found that seventy percent of Americans believe raising kids has become too expensive. Bryan warns that this trend threatens the nation's future and highlights the connection between economic strain and family planning decisions. Crackdown on Unsafe Migrant Truck Drivers: The White House pressured California to revoke seventeen thousand driver's licenses issued to migrants who often cannot read English or safely operate heavy trucks. Some judges in Washington blocked the rule on procedural grounds, creating legal limbo. Bryan notes that until courts rule, untrained foreign drivers will remain on American highways. DHS Surge Operations Expand: Federal officers have flooded Charlotte, North Carolina, where one in five residents is foreign born. The move mirrors earlier crackdowns in Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles, and Washington, where crime dropped after DHS deployments. Bryan says New Orleans is next. Catholic Bishops Clash with the White House: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops accused the administration of racism and fearmongering. Border czar Tom Homan responded that securing the border saves lives and that the Church should focus on its own scandals. Socialists Rise in Seattle and Los Angeles: Seattle elected an openly socialist mayor who supports abolishing the police under a communist economic system. In Los Angeles, another socialist candidate is challenging Mayor Karen Bass. Bryan connects these victories to a wider ideological battle inside the Democratic Party, where figures like Obama and Clinton now embrace democratic socialism while voices like Bill Maher warn against it. Democrats Plan Supreme Court Expansion: Longtime strategist James Carville confirmed that the party intends to expand the Supreme Court to thirteen justices once Democrats regain the presidency and Congress. He expects the party to remove the filibuster for that purpose, declaring the fight against Trump a national emergency. GOP Infighting Grows: Trump attacked Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie over comments about Epstein files and personal issues. Bryan urges conservatives to stop the internal battles as socialist movements gain ground nationwide. China Leverages Rare Earths and Military Power: Beijing is delaying rare earth shipments and failed to buy U.S. soybeans despite promises. A shortage of yttrium is emerging, although a U.S. company in Indiana will begin refining it next month. Meanwhile, China sent Coast Guard ships into Japanese waters and unveiled a new aircraft carrier, signaling rising tensions in the Pacific. Trump's Narco-Terror Operation Continues: Another drug boat was destroyed in the Pacific under Operation Southern Spear. Critics in the U.K. claim the strikes violate international law, though the White House says cartels qualify as narco-terrorists and legitimate targets. Britain's Leader Shifts Right on Immigration: Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced sweeping new restrictions, ending cash allowances for asylum seekers, requiring work, and imposing twenty-year waits for permanent residency. Bryan notes the political pressure building across Europe as voters demand tougher borders. Saudi Crown Prince to Visit Washington: The White House may sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, though U.S. intelligence fears technology theft and regional imbalance with Israel. Economic deals may also emerge as Riyadh seeks to follow through on earlier promises. Good News from Southeast Asia: Trump brokered a fresh ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia after border clashes. Cambodia is moving closer to the United States, granting new access to a key naval base and pushing out Chinese crime networks. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump tariff cuts grocery prices, American Family Survey cost of children, migrant truck drivers CDL revocation, DHS Charlotte surge, Tom Homan Catholic bishops border, Seattle socialist mayor police abolition, Los Angeles socialist candidate Rae Huang, James Carville Supreme Court expansion, GOP infighting Epstein files, China rare earth yttrium shortage, Senkaku Islands China Coast Guard, Operation Southern Spear drug boats, UK asylum overhaul Starmer, Saudi Arabia F-35 visit, Cambodia Thailand ceasefire

That was the story of the infamous KGB Portland spying, which operated in England in the 1950s. If you're a longtime listener, you may remember Trevor from his previous appearances here on the podcast for episode 33 when we discussed the Portland spying, and more recently in episode 192 when we discussed the recent trial of a Bulgarian spy ring operating in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. He's here to discuss a very recent and serious case of Russia-linked sabotage in London, directed by the Wagner Private Military Corporation that targeted a warehouse shipping supplies to Ukraine. That trial just ended in the sentencing of five defendants, and Trevor attended the trial in person. Check out Trevor's previous appearances on episode 33: The True Story of the Portland Spy Ring here and episode 192: Inside the Bulgarian Spy Ring here.Connect with Trevor:Twitter/X: @trevorwbarnesLinkedIn: Trevor BarnesConnect with Spycraft 101:Get Justin's latest book, Murder, Intrigue, and Conspiracy: Stories from the Cold War and Beyond, here.spycraft101.comIG: @spycraft101Shop: shop.spycraft101.comPatreon: Spycraft 101Find Justin's first book, Spyshots: Volume One, here.Check out Justin's second book, Covert Arms, here.Download the free eBook, The Clandestine Operative's Sidearm of Choice, here.Support the show
The Interfaith Movement for Immigrant Justice began more than 20 years ago as an extension of the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition. Its shorthand is IMIrJ (pronounced “emerge”) with the r standing for refugee. IMIrJ has become an independent nonprofit, drawing “faith communities and people of conscience” into the effort to protect the civil rights and well-being of immigrant families. Members and volunteers provide accompaniment for immigrants to appointments with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, financial support and other resources to immigrants. We talk with IMIrJ organizer and Methodist pastor Keren Rodriguez and IMIrJ board member Bob Brown, who is a long time member of Havurah Shalom, about how their work is going now as the Trump administration pursues mass deportation.

The Portland Art Museum's new Rothko Pavilion is opening this week. This means the entire museum's collection will be under one roof for the first time since it opened in 1932. The pavilion represents the last 20 years of executive director Brian Ferriso's vision and direction: unifying the institution, focusing on community experience, and creating a more inclusive and accessible space. That makes it bittersweet that next week, Brian leaves his post at PAM to lead the Dallas Museum of Art. Today on City Cast Portland, executive director Brian Ferriso joins us to share everything we need to know about the Rothko Pavilion opening and to reflect on his time leading the largest art institution in the state.

It's Monday. You know what that means... BONUS TRAX is hear to quench your vinyl thirst with our dais of dedicated record collectors talking about records that instantly make your record collection better (if you own them). Any of these titles in your own possession? From there we take a quick turn into the messy situation between the organizers of Record Store Day and YouTube VC'er Too Many Records (Matt Kessler) owner of a Portland record store of the same name. Matt made two videos recently (links below) sharing that he is no longer authorized/allowed to sell RSD titles at his shop, and with next to no communication from the RSD folks, it's opened several different dialogues inside the Vinyl Community on what this means for smaller indie stores, the RSD org as a whole, and the future of the event(s). Bringing it back to records, our WFMU folks showcase a couple of their favorite finds during the record fair, and a tale (or two) of a couple that got away. Remember, when you see it, don't hesitate (too much). Speaking from experience here! Stylus down, volume up.

Welcome to progressive paradise, where grocery stores get stabbed for defending pastries and mayors issue executive orders after businesses flee! We're witnessing the creation of food deserts in real time as Portland and Seattle's brilliant leadership watches stores close due to rampant crime, shoplifting, and employee safety concerns. This Grocery Outlet owner is literally getting knifed over $8 bottles of wine while losing $3,500 weekly just in stolen shopping carts – but hey, at least they're "Trump-proofing" the city, right?We break down how defund-the-police policies, decriminalized drugs, and catch-and-release justice create the perfect storm that drives businesses out of neighborhoods that desperately need them. From Portland's Park Rose to Seattle's Lake City, the pattern is identical: progressive policies create chaos, businesses flee, and then politicians act shocked about "food deserts."Is anyone surprised that Oregon ranks 4th nationally in retail theft? What did they think would happen when criminals face zero consequences? How long before your neighborhood grocery store throws in the towel?

Our military is trained to defeat enemies, not to police American citizens. President Trump's troop deployments in Los Angeles, DC, Chicago, Portland, Memphis, and potentially other cities pose real threats to civil liberties and the rule of law. During the Constitutional Convention, James Madison warned, “The means of defense against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.” Experts discuss the legality of Trump's actions, the ongoing lawsuits to stop them, and ways to prevent future abuses of military force.

Our purpose is to celebrate God's love, seek and serve Christ in all persons, and go forth into the world rejoicing in the power of the Spirit!Today, we invite you to join the Very Rev.

Bjorn Ryan-Gorman, professional snowskater and LGBTQ+ advocate, shares his journey from hiding his sexuality behind aggressive board sports to building a life of authenticity in Portland. Growing up in Montana as a sponsored snow athlete, Ryan-Gorman used snowboarding and skateboarding as outlets for self-hatred and denial, pushing himself to dangerous extremes before hearing a podcast that changed everything. He reveals the complex reactions from family—his mom's unexpected resistance, his dad's surprising embrace, and grandparents who rejected him entirely. Ryan-Gorman explores masculine drag within the bear community, the importance of diverse LGBTQ+ representation beyond stereotypes, and the persistent question that haunts him in rural spaces: Am I safe here? This conversation challenges assumptions about what gay men look like, explores how coming out should be celebrated but not sensationalized, and offers insight into the ongoing struggle of navigating safety, identity, and belonging in America. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
As many Americans gathered to celebrate Veterans Day, they did so at a time of political upheaval and division. From the nation's capital to cities like Chicago and Portland, soldiers police their own streets, their own people. Lieutenant General Russel L. Honoré, who served his country for more than 37 years, says, "never before have I been as concerned for our democracy -- we are being tested, and this is a test we cannot afford to fail." He joins the show from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Also on today's show: Ukrainian restaurateurs Eugene Korolev & Polina Sychova; acclaimed documentarian Ken Burns Learn more about your ad choices.
