What if the Moon isn't just a big rock floating in space, but something way more mysterious—maybe even an ancient, hollow structure placed there on purpose?IN THIS EPISODE: Conspiracy theories, while often dark, can also be kind of humorous due to being so outlandishly unbelievable. For example… is the Earth's moon artificial, and actually an extraterrestrial spaceship? We'll look at the strange theory. (Could Our Moon Be An Alien Spaceship?) *** In 1912 one of the most brutal slayings in America took place in the small town of Villisca, Iowa… a murder so brutal that numerous documentaries have been made about it, books have been written, and amateur detectives have poured over the facts and suspects still trying to find out who the murderer was that swung the bloody axe. (The Unsolved Villisca Ax Murders) *** The President of the United States, no matter who is in the position at the time, is always in danger from those who would like to see someone else in office. We'll hear on the news of the assassination attempts that came close, but we more often than not are completely unaware of the attempts and plans that have been thwarted – and some of those attempts to kill a sitting U.S. President have been extremely bizarre. (Bizarre Assassination Attempts on U.S. Presidents) *** Some Biblical accounts seem unbelievable and we tend to dismiss them as fantasies, or dreams of the person writing the events down. But what if some of the strange creatures described in the bible are actually real – but come from another dimension, or even outer space? (Are Extraterrestrials in the Bible?) *** If you are told there is a city that has been built specifically for the dead, you probably think of some ancient culture that worshipped their ancestors. Personally, I think of pyramids in Egypt… but I never would've thought of the suburbs in California, USA.

Plausibly Live! - The Official Podcast of The Dave Bowman Show
In this week's episode of Dave Does History on Bill Mick Live, Dave Bowman takes us through the compelling and often-overlooked story of Richard Stockton, one of the lesser-known Founding Fathers. Born on October 1, 1730, Stockton was a distinguished lawyer and one of the brave men who signed the Declaration of Independence. However, unlike many of his peers, Stockton's dedication to the American cause came at a devastating personal cost. Join us as we explore Stockton's journey from being one of the most prominent lawyers in the colonies to enduring imprisonment and financial ruin at the hands of the British. Dave examines the sacrifices Stockton made for the Revolution and reflects on why his story has been largely forgotten. What lessons can we learn from Stockton's life, and how does his experience shape our understanding of the true cost of freedom? Tune in for and examine the life, struggles, and legacy of Richard Stockton—available now on Spotify, iTunes, and wherever you listen to podcasts.

IN THIS EPISODE: Conspiracy theories, while often dark, can also be kind of humorous due to being so outlandishly unbelievable. For example… is the Earth's moon artificial, and actually an extraterrestrial spaceship? We'll look at the strange theory. (Could Our Moon Be An Alien Spaceship?) *** In 1912 one of the most brutal slayings in America took place in the small town of Villisca, Iowa… a murder so brutal that numerous documentaries have been made about it, books have been written, and amateur detectives have poured over the facts and suspects still trying to find out who the murderer was that swung the bloody axe. (The Unsolved Villisca Ax Murders) *** The President of the United States, no matter who is in the position at the time, is always in danger from those who would like to see someone else in office. We'll hear on the news of the assassination attempts that came close, but we more often than not are completely unaware of the attempts and plans that have been thwarted – and some of those attempts to kill a sitting U.S. President have been extremely bizarre. (Bizarre Assassination Attempts on U.S. Presidents) *** Some Biblical accounts seem unbelievable and we tend to dismiss them as fantasies, or dreams of the person writing the events down. But what if some of the strange creatures described in the bible are actually real – but come from another dimension, or even outer space? (Are Extraterrestrials in the Bible?) *** If you are told there is a city that has been built specifically for the dead, you probably think of some ancient culture that worshipped their ancestors. Personally, I think of pyramids in Egypt… but I never would've thought of the suburbs in California, USA.

Richard Stockton was a signer of the Declaration of Independence from New Jersey. A lawyer, he was not interested in politics at first, and initially favored a partial reconciliation with Great Britain that would give America some independence from Parliament but not the king. Despite this, he responded when duty called, and became a leading American patriot and champion of independence.

Soon You'll See This Billboard In New Jersey. They're About To Re-Name Their Garden State Parkway Rest Stops After Home Town Celebs! You're encouraged to stop by and besides reaching for a cool drink, maybe pick up some life inspiration shared by these Jersey icons as to how to reach for your own stars. Steve Edwards is President of The New Jersey Hall of Fame which is overseeing the project. He joins me for a fun conversation to share the back story, talk about the home town celebs getting the honor and share all the cool things each rest stop will soon feature. Also how and when they're going to roll out this re-name change game. Millions travel the Garden State Parkway including me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who won't miss pulling into a rest stop called 'Cheesequake' which is truly a brain stinging taste bud confusing name. Calling it the 'Jon Bon Jovi' service area will leave no doubt. All nine celebs being honored with their own service areas in NJ are members of the New Jersey Hall of Fame! Here's a list of the rest stops and the names they're about to be changed to.

And I like the point of it. “We encourage patrons in each service area to identify with one of our inductees and take to heart the advice our inductees provide on how to reach the pinnacle of their respective professions,” said Steve Edwards, President of the New Jersey Hall of Fame. “ The rest is up to you!” BTW: The New Jersey Turnpike Authority Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on renaming the nine service areas in honor of notable New Jerseyans. (Unanimous anything in 2021 is like wow impressive) PS: There will be no change to the following names of the service areas on the NJ Turnpike. Grover Cleveland, Thomas Edison, Alexander Hamilton, Vince Lombardi, Molly Pitcher, Richard Stockton, Walt Whitman.

Produced at KSQD 90.7FM More than ever, America needs an “upwising.” What exactly does that mean? The Swami Beyondananda (aka Steve Bhearman) will tell us along with how heart-opening humor and politics work. As the Swami heralds: “Despite what we hear and see on the news, we have a deeply UNITED body politic in America. Whether people identify as progressive, conservative, independent or ‘other', the vast majority of Americans believe our current pay-to-play political system doesn't represent them.” In addition, the Swami will be joined by Santa Cruz's very own political comedian, Richard Stockton. Richard is a relative of the only signer of the Declaration of Independence who was captured and tortured by the British. He was also named Richard Stockton and was sent by New Jersey to vote for independence. Hear his story. Listen to Steve Bhearman and Richard Stockton for their expert and often humorous views on the state of our democracy. Interview Guests: Steve Bhearman is a writer, author, and humorist, who's spent the past 30 years writing and performing in the guise of cosmic comic Swami Beyondananda. Swami's comedy has been described both as “comedy disguised as wisdom” and “wisdom disguised as comedy.” Noted author and current Presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, has called Steve/Swami “the Mark Twain of our times.” (wikipolitiki.com) Richard Stockton is a stand-up comic who has appeared on dozens of national TV shows, performed as a sketch comedy player on Live From LA on BET, headlined A List comedy clubs from coast to coast– Improv, Punchline, Comedy Underground, Comedy Works, and more. His first book, “Fondle The Fear,” is now in its third printing. He, also, will soon be bringing back Planet Cruz Comedy a live comedy/variety show.

Who were the people who signed the document Americans celebrate on July 4th? A small part of that question is answered in this episode. An introduction to the Declaration of Independence, its importance in American history and the history of the American Revolution, makes up the bulk of this first podcast episode. Facts that many Americans would get wrong (though not a sizable amount of history buffs). Did we need a Declaration to have independence? When was it written? When was it approved? and When was it signed? Any look at the Signers of the Declaration of Independence should begin with those well known signers, but instead we start with some of the least known. John Hart, Thomas Nelson, Richard Henry Lee and Richard Stockton are featured, among others.
