In this episode of Crime Time, Inc., we delve into the harrowing year of 1978, a period marked by a dramatic surge in serial killer activity and other violent crimes. The discussion highlights the staggering statistics from Radford University, which show that the number of active serial killers skyrocketed from 100 in the 1940s to 765 in the 1970s. The hosts examine notable cases, including the capture of Ted Bundy and the horrifying crimes of Carlton Gary, John Wayne Gacy, and the Hillside Stranglers. The episode also touches on the international crimes of Andrei Chikatilo and Dennis Nilsen, as well as the lesser-known but equally disturbing stories of Gerald Parker and Philip Carl Jablonski. The show explores potential factors contributing to this spike in violence, such as the impact of war trauma, the development of the interstate highway system, and the role of media and pop culture. Other significant events of 1978, like Ted Kaczynski's bombing campaign and the Jonestown Massacre, are also discussed. The episode questions the societal, psychological, and environmental influences that may have created a perfect storm for such a dark chapter in criminal history, offering insights that remain relevant for understanding and preventing future tragedies.00:00 Introduction to 1978: A Year of Infamy00:23 The Rise of Serial Killers: Shocking Statistics00:56 Notorious Names: Ted Bundy and More02:08 Global Terror: Serial Killers Beyond the U.S.03:25 Other Forms of Violence: Bombings and Massacres03:47 Theories Behind the Surge: War, Media, and More04:16 The Highway System: Aiding Drifter Killers04:41 Media Influence: The Role of True Crime Fascination05:39 Societal Changes: Divorce Rates and Family Instability05:57 Environmental Factors: The Lead Theory06:27 The Complex Web: Interconnected Factors08:11 Law Enforcement Challenges: Adapting to New Realities11:50 The Human Cost: Impact on Investigators13:37 Conclusion: Learning from the Past Hosted on Acast.

Clay and frequent guest David Horton talk about the coming Artificial Intelligence revolution. Like it or not, we are already wading (if not rushing) into that brave new world, and we all better come to terms with what's ahead of us. Horton's portfolio at Radford University includes questions of technology, appropriate technology, and the laws of unintended consequences. Horton briefly defines AI and Quantum Computing and suggests how these things are already transforming life. Clay's concerns are primarily about the future of privacy and intellectual property. The program begins with an examination of how Thomas Jefferson aggregated information for multiple purposes and how the third president might respond to the infinite rain of information in our time. Clay and David also discuss the implications of apps like Chat GPT for the future of education.

David sat down with friend, Radford University student, college ministry leader, and youth ministry leader, Ethan Bishop, to talk about growing up in a small town lacking diversity, yet ending up living in a thriving multi-ethnic community as an adult in the same town years later.

Guest host David Horton of Radford University and Clay discuss the history of Christmas, especially its modern invention during the mid 19th century in England and the United States. Thomas Jefferson, a deist, did not celebrate Christmas, but as someone who grew up in the Anglican tradition, he did not shun it the way New England Puritans of the period did. Jefferson was likelier to observe Boxing Day than Christmas, which protestants regarded as another Saint's Day. Clay recites Waddie Mitchell's cowboy poem about Christmas. Clay and David exchange Christmas memories and their favorite recipes for Christmas cookies. At the end of the program, Clay reads his favorite Christmas story, a chapter from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie.

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). In the summer of 1980, 18-year-old Gina Hall had just wrapped up her midterm exams at Radford University in Virginia. She was ready to unwind and celebrate, and she knew exactly how – by hitting the dance floor. That night, on June 28, she borrowed her sister's Monte Carlo and made the short drive to a popular nightclub at the Marriott Inn in Blacksburg. But what began as a night of fun quickly spiraled into something much darker. A chance encounter with a man nearly a decade older than her would lead to her mysterious disappearance – a disappearance that would change Virginia's criminal history forever. No one ever saw Gina again, but what happened next made her case the first in the state to secure a murder conviction without a body. Listen now to hear the full story.

We usually reserve the word “wicked” for the worst things in life. But at Radford University, being a wicked student is a badge of honor. Every year, Paige Tan and Meg Konkel help students come up with creative solutions to life's messiest problems for the Wicked Festival. And: What if you could get 500 dollars for free? Only catch is, you have put it toward something that does good - something that leaves a positive impact. How would you spend the money? That's the challenge Chris Tweedt brought to his business ethics students. Later in the Show: From the long list of expenses to endless paperwork, starting a business can be a headache. That's where Norfolk State's Innovation Center comes in. Established in 2019, Akosua Acheamponmaa says the Innovation Center is all about helping early entrepreneurs in underserved communities make their business dreams come true.

Stephen Epperly was convicted of the murder of a Radford University student in 1980. He was the first person in the state of Virginia to be convicted of murder in a case without a body. Over 40 years later, the victim's remains have still not been found. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Stephen Epperly. When Gina Hall went missing, her family became worried. Gina was a college student who met Stephen Epperly while out dancing. He immediately became a suspect because he was the last known person to have seen Gina. However, it would take a lot of work on the part of law enforcement to get a conviction.You can help support the show at patreon.com/truecrimeallthetimeVisit the show's website at truecrimeallthetime.com for contact, merchandise, and donation informationAn Emash Digital productionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With the growing world of healthcare and rapidly changing federal, national, and local regulations, it's a priority that healthcare professionals and facilities stay up-to-date on current industry trends, particularly as it pertains to debt and finances. That is the fundamental purpose of the Healthcare Financial Management Association, or HFMA. In this episode of the podcast "Closing the Books," host Gabrielle Bejarano interviewed Mary Prendergast, the VP of Business Development at IC System, who is also the president of the Virginia-Washington, D.C., Chapter of HFMA. The two talked about what the HFMA does, how the pandemic impacted healthcare costs, and why the HFMA is a beneficial organization to the healthcare industry.Bejarano and Prendergast also discussed:1. Educational opportunities HFMA offers to help healthcare professionals better understand changes in the industry2. Why HFMA is a driving force in shaping healthcare systems today3. How HFMA benefits individual member's careers"What the HFMA does, it really sets an industry standard for healthcare today—really more so in reimbursement and finance. What's going on today in healthcare is very difficult with labor costs, labor shortages, and staffing. What's really hot today is value-based care and price transparency and then technology,” said Prendergast. In addition to helping members keeping up-to-date, applying changing rules and regulations to revenue collection efforts is key. Continues Prendergast “In order to survive and get reimbursed and keep your lights on and a roof over your head, you have to be reimbursed, whether from the patient or the payers, which are the insurance companies. They have to pay you, and it takes a team of experts to make sure that they're coding and getting reimbursed for all of this. They also use, again, a lot of technology partners to make sure they're getting real-time estimation on cost and reimbursement." Mary Prendergast is the VP of Business Development at IC System. For the past two years, she has served as president of the HFMA Virginia-Washington DC Chapter, which has approximately 3,000 members out of the national 90,000. She is also a graduate of Radford University.IC System has over 85 years of experience in medical and dental debt collection, rent recovery and other business collections.

Guest host David Horton of Radford University and Clay Jenkinson discuss the origins and varieties of satire. With its roots in the ancient world and particularly Rome, satire exists in two broad categories: genial, bemused satire, identified with the Roman poet Horace; and biting, severe, take-no-prisoners satire best represented by another Roman poet Juvenal. The discussion explores satire in American history; Thomas Jefferson's humorlessness and his immunity to satire; classical American satirists such as Mark Twain and Will Rogers; and satire of the modern age with Johnny Carson, Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert, and Garrison Keillor. David and Clay reflect on the silo effect and media echo chambers of our time, which have made it nearly impossible for all to meet in some form of the public square to laugh at human foibles and find ways to tolerate each other. 

Isn't it easy to live united with others today? No? Well, then we need 1 Corinthians 8. Here, Paul opens a discussion lasting through chs.9-10. If 1 Corinthians is all about what unity in Christ looks like, the center of the letter here shows how unity in Christ plays out in pursuing unity with others. Guest pastor Chris Leeper (Director, Baptist Collegiate Ministries at Radford University) shares how we need to be spiritually sensitive to others as ambassadors for Christ.

Guest Host David Horton of Radford University in Virginia asks Clay for a progress report on his adventure retracing John Steinbeck's “Travels with Charley” journey. Clay was in Middlebury, Vermont, at the time of the interview, still aglow from his interview with Steinbeck biographer Jay Parini of Middlebury College. Topics include the clunky joys of rural AM radio; whether it matters that not everything in Travels with Charley happened precisely as Steinbeck reports; and what Clay is learning along the way. They discuss the changes in America's highways between 1960 and today, including the Blue Highways far away from the Interstate Highway System. Clay talks about some of the other pilgrimages he has made so far in the journey: Jack Kerouac's grave in Lowell, Massachusetts; Thoreau's Walden Pond; and Montauk Point at the end of Long Island where Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders quarantined after their heroics in Cuba.

Join Museum of the Bible as we discuss the Bible and its impact on literacy with Rev. Dr. Jennifer Jones Powell, full-time minister and adjunct professor of literacy education in the School of Teacher Education and Leadership at Radford University.

Guest host David Horton of Radford University discusses America's trees and forests with Third President Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson said, “No sprig of grass grows uninteresting to me.” He told his friend Margaret Bayard Smith that any unnecessary cutting down of a tree should be regarded as silvicide, the murder of a majestic living thing. Jefferson wanted future cities to be planned in a checkerboard pattern with every other square permanent parkland. One of his last requests, just months before his death, was that the University of Virginia plant an arboretum. Jefferson's protégé Meriwether Lewis was so startled by the treelessness of the Great Plains that he wondered if they could ever be settled. Later in the program, Clay and David talk about the origins of the Soil Conservation Service and FDR's idea of a single endless shelter belt down the hundredth meridian from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.

He's garnered grants from the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, Augusta University, the Georgia Humanities Council, and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.His newest book, The Intimacy of Spoons explores the many metaphors of the spoon: from love and marriage to the spoon of a grave that holds our bodies; from the darkness of loss and night, where “the Big Dipper is nothing but / the oldest spoon pointing us home”; to the darkness of lungs transformed into art. The poems cover a wide variety of topics—cultural, political, familial, and natural—and always, underlying these poems is the song of birds—with broken wings or clear voices, avian muses filling our forests now or long gone. There are nods to Basho and Thoreau, to Eliot and Frost, Dickinson and Milton, this last, a long poem that retells the story of Adam and Eve from the point of view of Mal, the apple. Likewise, The Intimacy of Spoons shares a variety of forms, from sonnet, sestina, and villanelle to syllabics, lyrics, and a ballad. At the center of the book is the long poem, “Elegy for My Body,” which uses wordplay and contrasting voices to explore mortality, because “You can't really do time; / it simply does us, / or undoes us, / us beings in the time being being beings / on Times Squared / waiting for the big ball to fall.” The poems of The Intimacy of Spoons return us to everyday stories and objects, common yet profound.

Sections below are the following:Transcript of AudioAudio Notes and AcknowledgmentsImageSourcesRelated Water Radio EpisodesFor Virginia Teachers (Relevant SOLs, etc.)Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 2-1-24. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of February 5 and February 12, 2024. MUSIC – ~35 sec – lyrics: “We are on a ship, a great big ship.  It takes all of us to take of it.  And we can use the stars to navigate our trip.  We are riding on a ship.” That's the closing of “On a Ship,” by Blacksburg, Va., singer-songwriter Kat Mills.  Since January 2010, Virginia Water Radio has been bringing you sounds, music, and information about the watery nature of the good ship Earth, particularly the waters of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  With the recent passage of Water Radio's 14th anniversary, this will be the show's last regularly scheduled episode.  Water Radio may return from time to time with special-project episodes; if so, I hope you'll be able to have a listen. To mark the transition away from regular episodes, I've invited several guests to call out the range of topics that Water Radio has aimed to explore.  Have a listen for about 45 seconds to their voices, interspersed with some favorite sounds, of birds, the spokesman for traditional fishing boat singers, children, a rolling river, and rumbling thunder. VOICES AND SOUNDS - ~41 sec VOICE 1 - Water in the biology of humans, birds, frogs, plants, and other living things.  SOUND 1 - Little Blue Heron fishing, plus sounds of Red-winged Blackbirds.       VOICE 2 - Water-related history and cultural expression.  SOUND 2 – Spokesman for Northern Neck Chantey Singers saying, “We are the Northern Neck Chantey Singers.” VOICE 3 - Water laws and policies, management and uses, and people.  SOUND 3 – Group of children and adults calling out “Take a kid to a park!” VOICE - Groundwater, surface water, and watersheds.  SOUND 4 – South Fork Roanoke River in Montgomery County, Va.     VOICE - Water science, water research, and weather.  SOUND 5 – Thunderstorm. Along with its focus on water-related sounds, much of Water Radio's vitality has come from music about water, with either the music or the musicians having a Virginia connection.  Several groups and individuals have graciously allowed frequent use of their songs.  Those include Kat Mills, whose song “On a Ship” you heard earlier; Ben Cosgrove and Stewart Scales, whose versions of “Shenandoah” and “Cripple Creek,” respectively, open and close alternating episodes; and the following artists, whom you'll hear in an upcoming medley: the late Madeline MacNeil, with “New Spring Waltz”;Timothy Seaman, with “Bass Fisherman's Reel”;Torrin Hallett, with “Tropical Tantrum”;Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand, with “Samuel Mason.”Chamomile and Whiskey, with “Dirty Sea”;The Steel Wheels, with “Valley”;No Strings Attached, with “Kartune”; andBob Gramann, with “Rappahannock Running Free.” Have a listen for a little over three minutes. MUSIC - ~3 min./15 sec. “New Spring Waltz.” - ~ 23 sec – instrumental. “Bass Fisherman's Reel - ~20 sec – instrumental. “Tropical Tantrum” - ~27 sec – instrumental. “Samuel Mason” - ~24 sec – lyrics: “Samuel Mason, that is my name.  I left Fort Henry seeking fortune and fame.  I came from Virginia a long time ago, but now I am a pirate along the Ohio.” “Dirty Sea” - ~18 sec – instrumental. “Valley” - ~41 sec – lyrics: “These mountains have been here for centuries.  There's stories in the water, something if you're listening; what kind of stories do you wanna see?  ‘Cause I wanna go where the wind don't blow; take me down to the valley.  I wanna go where the wind don't blow; take me out tonight.” “Kartune” - ~19 sec – instrumental. “Rappahannock Running Free” - ~23 sec – lyrics: “I love the Rappahannock, and its water running free; in the rapids of this river, that's where I want to be.   I love the Rappahannock, and its waters running free; in the rapids of this river, that's where I'll always be.” Thanks to all the musicians, sounds sources, and collaborators who contributed to this episode and to the previous 673 episodes.  Thanks also to radio stations WEHC at Emory and Henry College, and WVRU at Radford University, for carrying the show on air each week. We close Water Radio's regular-episode era with one more musical selection.  Here's about 1 minute/20 seconds of John McCutcheon's “Water from Another Time,” a song rich in water imagery, fine music, and valuable words.  Here's to that. MUSIC - ~77 sec – lyrics: “New-born cry in the morning air, the past and the future are wedded there; in this wellspring of my sons and daughters, the bone and blood of living water.  And of Grandpa's hands have gone to dust, like Grandma's pump reduced to rust.  Their stories quench my soul and mind, like water from another time.  You don't take much but you gotta have some; the old ways help, the new ways come; just leave a little extra for the next in line, they're gonna need a little water from another time.  You don't take much but you gotta have some; the old ways help, the new ways come; just leave a little extra for the next in line, they're gonna need a little water from another time.  Gonna need a little water, need a little water, need a little water, gonna need a little water from another time.” SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.  For more Virginia water sounds, music, or information, visit us online at virginiawaterradio.org, or call the Water Center at (540) 231-5624.  Thanks to Stewart Scales for his banjo version of “Cripple Creek” to open and close this episode.  In Blacksburg, I'm Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water.

YOU"RE NOT ALONE>>>Website: https://www.nami.org/HomePhone: NAMI HELPLINE 800-950-6264 or TEXT "helpline" to 62640In 2020, the nation took a significant step forward with the enactment of the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, a bill NAMI advocated for that created a nationwide three-digit number (988) to assist people experiencing a mental health or suicidal crisis. This number is now available in communities across the country.NAMI recognizes that other organizations have drawn distinctions between what diagnoses are considered “mental health conditions” as opposed to “mental illnesses.” We intentionally use the terms “mental health conditions” and “mental illness/es” interchangeably.A mental illness is a condition that affects a person's thinking, feelings, behavior, or mood. These conditions deeply impact day-to-day living and may also affect the ability to relate to others. If you have — or think you might have — a mental illness, the first thing you must know is that you are not alone. Mental health conditions are far more common than you think, mainly because people don't like to, or are scared to, talk about them. However:1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year1 in 20 U.S. adults experience serious mental illness each year1 in 6 U.S. youth aged 6-17 experience a mental health disorder each year50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24A mental health condition isn't the result of one event. Research suggests multiple linking causes. Genetics, environment, and lifestyle influence whether someone develops a mental health condition. A stressful job or home life makes some people more susceptible, as do traumatic life events. Biochemical processes and circuits and basic brain structure may play a role, too.None of this means that you're broken or that you, or your family, did something “wrong.” Mental illness is no one's fault. And for many people, recovery — including meaningful roles in social life, school, and work — is possible, especially when you start treatment early and play a strong role in your own recovery process.THERE'S HELP & HOPE...

David sits down with Eye to Eye's Alyssa Tundidor for a fireside chat. Covering everything from David's origin story, to where Something Shiny came from, to co-creating spaces safe enough for folx who are neurodivergent. To learn more about Eye to Eye, visit www.eyetoeyenational.org.-----Alyssa Tundidor (Alyssa Tundidor is Eye to Eye's Senior Mentoring Program Coordinator--for more on Alyssa, see below!) facilitates a fireside chat for the participants of the Eye to Eye Organizing Institute (OI) at the University of Denver. David names this is the first time he is sharing his story and he is not holding a tennis ball and is actually sitting down as he tells it, and he'll be squirming the whole time as he does it. His first memory is around his story, in 5th grade, he is the kid in school with the really messy hair, and he'd write pages and pages of stories-no one could read them, they were not spelled correctly. And David is quiet when he's writing in the corner, but nobody cares what he writes. Fast forward to his first year of graduate school at Northwestern University, he feels like a fraud, like they shouldn't have let him in, did they know he failed a class in high school? And he was in class learning about ADHD and classmate who ran the Eye to Eye Chapter at Reed College says “oh” — he braces himself to be ‘fixed' or told things, and instead she says “there's this think called project eye to eye starting where they take college students with learning skills and putting them together with students in high school. Wanna join?" His first encounter with the organization is talking to David Flint, and he asks what he has, and David shares he has symbol recognition disorder and ADHD, and David Flink goes: “Awesome!” And that's the first time David heard someone react that way without the pity or the “good for you!” Skipping past a lot in high school, getting in trouble a lot, skipping school, all of that, he's sitting in a room at the OI with 27 other peoples, cross-legged, throwing racket balls against the wall, he felt like he belonged for the first time in his life somewhere. He belonged before…as long as they didn't know… whatever that “nerghhh” is. OI and Eye to Eye was the first place where he experienced he didn't have to hide a part of himself. Alyssa had a very similar experience with the OI, she was 23, she was at Radford University, and there were 60 people. What is the story behind Something Shiny? David gives the real story, not the marketing story. He's a person who thinks really big but doesn't really think about the details, of course he wants to save the world, he just doesn't know what to do next. And he was getting paid to do all these trainings on ADHD, and he realized that there's a paywall around getting good information about ADHD. You have to have certain privilege to know someone, to have money, to get accurate information. And most people trying to put forward accurate information are selling something. And it's hard to find somethings like this without a sales push. When we can increase the understanding of things, we can decrease suffering. Alyssa speaks about listening to the qualifier episode, and it made her feel really seen and really heard. We had real feels right there. There's this idea you're getting at, when we've experienced something in the world, we can make it better for someone that follows us. There's a cultural piece of learning differently when we're neurodivergent. If you are part of a neurodiverse community, it's very very hard to grow up without neglect. The people who love you don't know how to love you. We don't know what we need, that never happened. You can't neglect neglect, you have to attend to it. Asking a neurodiverse person “how do you learn?” The answers 30 years ago would be “it's hard, and it's good that it hurts” and we all kind of bought into that. And then, all of a sudden, it doesn't have to hurt. It's okay to swivel in a chair and have every chair in your office be a swivel chair—it's about speaking to the things that are very hard for us to own because we're afraid we're going to get rejected. When you talk about them, you feel like more of community, not less. Alyssa wants to emphasize the belonging aspect—what inspired David to make a safe space for people who are neurodivergent. Someone at work said to him: “Just so you know, it didn't bother me at all, but your energy was really big—it didn't bother me, but it could bother someone” — that person saw my energy, and wanted to work together. We have to take steps to work together and not mask. It's like hiding the parts of us that don't look like everyone else. “I read books, I sit still, over the weekend, I read books, I sat still.” There's emotionality and there's a task, but if the task is understanding what the book says, does it matter if I read it or listen to it? Creating safety is looking at comfort, looking at who you are, and not wearing masks. Immediately take that mask off. Alyssa names that rejection hurts so much when you're ND, and it's true. And we're talking about self-esteem and a sense of worth. How do we feel worth? We're often getting our sense of worth from other people. When you can find other roles in the world to make a difference in someone else's life. The big secret with mentorship is reciprocal: whatever you are doing to help someone younger than you, you are giving to yourself. It comes back to you. Don't want to let someone down, so there's a power to making a difference to other people's lives. Alyssa asks: when is the first time you felt accepted as an ND person? It made David accepted and valued for who he was. There's more places in the world than Eye to Eye—he felt that with his brother, he feels that with his partner, his friends. Who you surround yourself by is so much what you believe about yourself. His friends, his partner, believed in David before he did. What made David decide to become a therapist? David started wanting to save the world that was on fire as he saw it. His own experience with therapists was: they're not that great. He wanted to be a special education teacher that teaches history, because he wants to fix all of education and name all of the lies and change the world. So, in college, he went through all the teaching classes, and they were going through lesson planning, and he realized that he wouldn't get to teach what he would teach. He's TAing psych classes because they're easy, and he doesn't mind them. So he ended up leaving education, talked to a psych professor he was friends with, “don't know what to do now?!” But he learned he could be the difference, and he believes every life represents the world. In front of him, there's a galaxy, and a galaxy of stars, and for him, it's incredibly important to save the world. He felt limited that he could only work people in education become better consumers and producers, versus showing people what they want in this world and then destroying the things that don't matter. It's a good mic, so he won't mic drop. What tips would he give young people navigating the world that is not built for them? He names: this world is not built for you, this world makes things worse, and you make things better. The second we pretend it's built for us, we are ignoring things. We know that if we take weight and shading in different spots, it makes it easier for those with dyslexia to read. Like a dyslexic font. So why isn't every book printed like that? A neurotypical person can read that book, but now everyone else can. We sit in a world, where you have every answer you want in your pocket that can answer everything, but we're still working a school system that asks students to remember answers and not ask questions (and he loves teachers)…so not built for us. Don't apologize for who you are.  Find the supports you need and make that space. This room doesn't totally suck even though you are listening to someone talk at you—why? David is talking fast, moving a lot, saying risky things, this entire thing is an accommodation for neurodiversity. Neurotypical people can't handle this energy. David just code switches, and that doesn't work for us, at all. And it's about you all do in every room you walk into as an Eye to Eye person. What's one thing you want people to leave this chat with? Everyone get a mixing bowl, he wants everyone to add a cup of understanding to the bowl, then crack two pieces of compassion on top, meet with other people for a while, and then bake it. The real thing he asks: don't be afraid to ask the questions, to say something people don't want to hear, to ask for things, and anyone who makes you feel like you are less should not be in your life. To learn more about Eye to Eye, visit www.eyetoeyenational.orgWho is Alyssa?

Guest host David Horton of Radford University talks with Clay Jenkinson about Ken Burns' latest documentary, The American Buffalo, which premiers on PBS on October 16. Clay has now been in five of Ken Burns' documentaries, and has been one of the historical advisers in two of the films. Among the topics of discussion: Who was William Hornaday and what role did he play in the saving of the buffalo? What was Theodore Roosevelt's role? How do you prepare to be interviewed in a Ken Burns film? Why is the buffalo so important to America's sense of its heritage? Clay also speaks of his own long association with the buffalo, first seen when he was a child in North Dakota's Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

This week, guest host David Horton of Radford University returns to engage Clay Jenkinson about the plans and purposes of Listening to America. Why the name change on the highly successful Jefferson Hour? What will the new program title enable Clay to explore over the next decade? Did the New Enlightenment Radio Network change the name because Jefferson is now perceived as toxic because of his complicities in slavery and the dispossession of Native Americans? How exactly does Clay intend to "listen" to America? How does this new program emphasis help us think about America as the republic approaches its 250th birthday on July 4, 2026? 

This week, guest host David Horton of Radford University questions Mr. Jefferson about his formation, about the path he took to national greatness. What were the particular influences of Jefferson's father Peter, a self-made man of the overseer class, and Jefferson's mother Jane Randolph, who belonged to one of the most socially and politically prominent families in Virginia? Why did Jefferson's life veer from the agrarian simplicities of western Virginia and lead him to the writing of the Declaration of Independence and later on to the Presidency of the United States? Might Jefferson have been happy if he had followed the trajectory of his closest friend Dabney Carr, who seemed content with a modest house, a few books, an amiable spouse, and a simple Virginia diet?

This week, Clay Jenkinson talks with David Horton of Radford University in Virginia about the artificial intelligence revolution. Where are we with AI and where are we headed? What is the future of privacy? Is it possible to regulate AI? Will the machines terminate us as a slovenly, irrational, and wasteful species? Will we live forever or at least another hundred years? What will universities do now that ChatGPT is rocking education? Meanwhile, Clay asks ChatGPT to write an essay condemning Jefferson for slavery and another defending him.

In the final chapter of our coverage of H.H.Holmes, we talk about the theories connecting him to Jack the Ripper, his final days on the run and a trial and execution that has gone down in history.
