The guys from Sasquatch Recon are back.And this time, they're taking us deep into the shadowy lowlands of South Carolina and the mysterious foothills of North Carolina—where the line between wildlife and the unexplained gets very blurry.In this episode, the team recounts a tense and unsettling expedition through South Carolina's swamp country, where a single discovery snowballed into something far more disturbing. A strange footprint. Eerie, unidentifiable vocalizations echoing through the darkness.Moments that made it clear they weren't alone—and whatever was out there didn't want to be seen.The story then shifts to Rutherford County, North Carolina, a well-known hotspot for high strangeness. From repeated wood knocks and fresh footprints to unexplained sightings in the field, the encounters raise serious questions about what's really moving through these forests.Beyond the investigations themselves, the hosts open up about their personal paths into Bigfoot research, the methods they use in the field, and how their experiences increasingly intersect with paranormal phenomena. What starts as cryptid research quickly becomes something deeper—and far more unsettling.Sasquatch Recon YouTube ChannelEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

What does it take to build strong leaders in EMS? Host Eric Clauss is joined by Greg Johnson (Program Director, Columbia State Community College), Alex Whitley (Paramedic Instructor and Flight Medic), and Jamie Wesley (Critical Care Paramedic, Rutherford County) to discuss the launch of Tennessee's New Provider Conference and the leadership lessons shaping the next generation. Together, they reflect on lessons learned, the launch of Tennessee's first New Provider Conference, and how intentional investment in young providers is reshaping the profession. This episode is a reminder that leadership isn't about titles—it's about showing up, listening, and leaving the field better than you found it. This conversation dives into: • Why mentorship and gratitude are essential for growth. • The power of “showing up” and following through. • Meeting the new generation where they are—with technology, curiosity, and innovation. • How attitude, humility, and listening set the foundation for leadership. Whether you're just starting your EMS career or guiding others along the way, this episode will challenge you to rethink what leadership looks like—and how you can invest in those who will carry the torch forward.Leadership ApplicationsShow Up with the Right PostureLeadership starts by being present—not just at the microphone, but in the small, unseen moments. Rolling up your sleeves, moving chairs, and following through on commitments builds credibility that opens doors for greater influence.Invest in the Next GenerationYesterday's “hard knocks” lessons can become today's intentional mentorship. Meeting new providers where they are, embracing technology, and listening to their questions ensures the profession evolves with strength and resilience.Prioritize Attitude and GratitudeA positive mindset and appreciation for those who invested in you are transformative. Attitude shapes not only how you lead, but also how you inspire others to embrace challenges with optimism.Listen More Than You SpeakEffective leaders don't need to have all the ideas—they need to recognize, elevate, and support the innovators around them. Listening deeply, asking “why,” and amplifying others' contributions builds trust and collective success.

Adam's Paternity Leave continues, so why not throw to an episode we did that ties in heavily to this week's episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver? Patreon payments are frozen for the time being. A few resourceful new Munchies have figured out a work-around where you can join as a free member and upgrade from there to a paid account which charges you for one month and unlocks the back catalog behind the respective tier of the paywall. After that first payment, you won't be charged again until we're dropping new content (which we'll warn everyone is coming), so if you want more of this it can be had, along with access to the fully uncut episodes from 100 to present and Movie Club episodes.Faced with an episode with a helluva third act left turn, Adam and Josh reckon with a first-half A-plot borrowing heavily from the Terri-Rick saga in Degrassi before the second half shockingly grasps for a ripped-from-the-headlines story with a crooked juvenile court judge inspired by the nefarious goings-on in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. This leads to an exploration of both the Luzerne County Kids for Cash scandal and the grotesque systemic judicial overreach currently happening in Rutherford County, Tennessee.Don't worry, Josh and Adam find plenty of non-infuriating things to talk about, including the bizarre connection between Melinda McGraw and Alex Kingston, delightfully impossible photoshopping, Icelandic reproduction clearance apps, Lehman Brothers tearing the US economy to shreds, the origins of sexting, what other franchise Stuckey really belonged in instead of SVU, and (of course) Meloni's rock-hard buns.Come get some.Sources:Kids for Cash documentary - Kids for CashBlack Children Were Jailed for a Crime That Doesn't Exist.

12 years of combination experience. Backstep Firefighter for Rutherford County Fire-Rescue assigned to Station 60, Citizens First cadre instructor. Josh was going to school pursuing an education when he discovered the volunteer fire service. After a few years under his belt as Josh states he was hit by the “Bug” and fell in love. Doing some homework Josh found out he could live his dream full-time by going career. With that notion he applied and got on at a department in Kentucky but wasn't truly feeling fulfilled. He left and got on to Rutherford County where he truly felt his expectations were being met. Josh clearly states there's no ill will towards his former organization but sometimes you have to step back researching potential options, assessing cultural fit, and understanding the company's decision-making process. My favorite quote from him was “Master the basic skill set to the point it looks advanced.”IG: j_wheeler94

Dorchester Children's Advocacy Center Robert Scott Steele, MSW, LGSW, LSW Senior Forensic Interviewer Harmony House Children's Advocacy Center Show notes: In this episode of the SRCAC Exchange, we focus on long-term dedication and resilience in the Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) field. Hosted by Christina Rouse, the episode delves into the challenges and rewards of working in child advocacy, particularly through the stories of experienced professionals like Kay Phillips, Jennifer Gamble, and Robert Scott Steele. These guests share their journeys, motivations, and tips for maintaining passion in this emotionally demanding field. Kay discusses the importance of finding purpose and spirituality in her work, while Jennifer emphasizes the value of self-care and a supportive team, and Scott highlights the importance of trust in building relationships with children in forensic interviewing. The episode also tackles issues like high turnover rates in CACs and the need for mental and emotional resilience among child advocacy professionals. With statistics showing that only a small percentage of people in the field stay longer than 15 years, the guests offer insights on why they've stayed committed and how they manage the pressures of the job. Through their stories, this episode emphasizes the importance of support systems, self-care, and the profound impact of helping children, showing that dedication in this field is both rewarding and challenging.

I wanted to make a difference.”- Kay Phillips “If you're going to be a social worker, you need a therapist. I see one regularly, and it helps keep me grounded and focused. Self-care is critical for longevity in this work.”- Jennifer Gamble “When a child feels safe enough to trust me, to tell me something they've never told anyone before, that's what keeps me going.
