On this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Kentucky native Chace Saunders to talk about how growing up around bluegrass shaped the foundation of his sound and storytelling. Raised in the heart of the Bluegrass State, Chace was surrounded by pickin' circles and front porch harmonies — but his influences don't stop there.We dive into how artists like The Doobie Brothers, Frank Ocean, Tyler Childers, Colby Acuff, and Kid Cudi have all played a role in shaping his unique blend of country, soul, and honest songwriting. It's a conversation about roots, range, and carving out your own lane while honoring where you came from.Chace's Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chace.saunders/Our Insta: https://www.instagram.com/rcm_podcast/

In this episode of Crime Bit with Danelle Hallan, we continue the Carina Saunders investigation as the search ends in a grim discovery. On October 13, 2011, her remains were found behind a Homeland store in Bethany, shifting the case from missing person to homicide. Detectives revisited statements, traced connections around Kenny Richards, and weighed what could be proven against what witnesses later changed.Part 2 matters because it shows how a case can stall without physical evidence, even after arrests. We track the 2012 charges against Jimmy Massie and Lewis Ruiz, the 2013 dismissals, and how OSBI took over and kept pursuing leads.

What if dying is not an ending, but a moment of radical clarity? In his new novel "Vigil," George Saunders conjures a strange and often comic world of bickering angels visiting a dying, deeply flawed man—debating and waiting to see whether he can face the truth about himself before it's too late.In this conversation, Steve Paulson talks with Saunders about the evolution of his ideas about death and the possibility of an afterlife. Dying, he says, may be “the ultimate experience of wonder,” and he believes ghost stories can open powerful imaginative spaces for novelists. Saunders reflects on his own Buddhist practice as he considers these life-and-death questions, and he tells us why he thinks fiction is uniquely suited to grappling with complex moral issues and why Tolstoy and Chekhov are his personal sources of inspiration.Saunders is the author of such celebrated books as “Tenth of December,” “Pastoralia,” and the Booker Prize-winning “Lincoln in the Bardo.”  His nonfiction book about the great Russian writers is “A Swim in a Pond in the Rain.”This interview was recorded at the Central Library in downtown Madison shortly before Saunders spoke at the Wisconsin Book Festival.— To the Best of Our Knowledge — On his short story collection “Tenth of December.  To the Best of Our Knowledge: Reflecting on “Lincoln in the Bardo.” Substack Story Club with George Saunders —00:00:00 Introduction and Reading from Vigil00:07:50 The Plane Crash and Death Obsession00:15:00 The Writing Process and Wonder00:24:30 Moral Accountability in Fiction00:32:20 Chekhov, Succession, and Accuracy00:40:00 Kindness, Criticism, and Final Thoughts Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.

In this episode of Crime Bit with Danelle Hallan, we examine the 2011 disappearance of 19-year-old Carina Saunders in the Oklahoma City metro. After struggling with meth and unstable housing, Karina was last reported after being dropped off near a Taco Bell, then her phone went quiet. As family searched, police worked conflicting accounts, a threatening text message, and names that kept resurfacing in the early investigation.Why it matters is how fast a missing persons case can be shaped by uncertain timelines and unreliable witnesses. Part 1 follows the first reports, early leads, and the questions that set the direction of the search.

“It's really a deep irony that this guy who has really never set foot in a normal American street was mistaken as a man of the people”, writer George Saunders says of the US President, Donald Trump. His work has long centred on the very people who live with the consequences of decisions made far above them, ordinary and fallible individuals navigating increasingly hostile conditions.In a world marked by political lies, climate denial and the erosion of shared reality, Saunders' fiction interrogates moral ambiguity, human weakness and the forces that draw individuals toward destructive choices.In this episode of Ways to Change the World, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to Saunders about the collapse of truth in public life, why satire no longer pierces political leaders who feel no shame, and whether storytelling can still help us understand one another in an age of polarisation.

Dave McCann and Brian Logan (in for Blaine Fowler) break down what this means for the Cougars heading into a massive road test at Arizona and a home showdown with Iowa State. Later in the show, newly retired jersey honoree Jimmer Fredette joins live to reflect on his rafters moment — and to offer insight on how a team survives losing a key player late in the season.On the football side, serious developments surround former receiver Parker Kingston, and the program now turns its attention to what the receivers room looks like moving forward. The show carefully follows its standard protocol: allowing the legal process to unfold without speculation while analyzing roster implications. BYUtv analyst David Nixon joins to discuss spring practice goals, defensive staff changes, NFL Combine invitees Chase Roberts and Jack Kelly, and what a Kelly Poppinga-led defense might look and feel like.The Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week honors Rob Wright III, who exploded for 30 points at Baylor and followed it up with a 39-point masterpiece against Colorado — carrying the Cougars with Saunders sidelined. Meanwhile, AJ Dybantsa continues his historic freshman campaign, closing in on Danny Ainge's freshman scoring record as BYU remains firmly in the NCAA Tournament picture despite one of the toughest remaining schedules in the country.Campus Notes highlight national track and field dominance — including Riley Chamberlain's NCAA mile record — strong performances in volleyball, baseball, tennis, and golf, and the release of BYU women's soccer's Big 12 schedule. With powerful interviews, heartfelt tributes to Patti Edwards, and honest discussion about navigating adversity, the February 16 show blends emotion, accountability, and championship-level analysis.#BYUSports #GoCougs #Ysguys #BYUBasketball #BYUFootball #Big12 #JimmerFredette #RobWrightIII #AJDybantsa #CougarNation #LDS #BYU Hosted on Acast.

Last week Tottenham finally parted ways with Thomas Frank with the club in 16th place and looking nervously over their shoulder at Nottingham Forest and West Ham. Former Juventus manager Igor Tudor has been given the managerial job until the end of the season. Here James is joined by fellow Tottenham fan Ricky Saunders for a discussion on the managerial change, why blame should also be aimed at those running the football club and concerns around a chronic injury list. Plus, what we can expect from Tudor tactically and stylistically and if the job is just waiting for Mauricio Pochettino's return... but would he even take it if the club went down?

George Saunders is tired of being the “kindness guy.”Saunders is one of my favorite fiction writers, and a friend of the pod; I talked to him back in 2021 and 2022. He also has a reputation as a kind of guru of kindness, thanks to a viral commencement speech he gave back in 2013. We talked about kindness on the show before.But with the publication of his new novel, “Vigil,” I noticed that something about Saunders seemed to have shifted. He was pushing back against that public persona, and wrestling with darker themes.“Vigil” follows an oil tycoon who, on his deathbed, is visited by angels and people from his past asking him to reassess his life. And you can feel a tension in that book that is also very alive in Saunders himself — between recognizing how much of our lives are conditioned by our circumstances and the need to pass judgment to reckon with the truth.In this conversation, I discuss that tension with Saunders. I ask him about his relationship not just to kindness but also to anger; how he defines sin; whether he believes in free will; and what he thinks lies beyond kindness.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:Vigil by George Saunders“What It Means to Be Kind in a Cruel World” by The Ezra Klein Show“George Saunders Convocation Speech 2013”“A Tough Question Indeed” by George SaundersEast West Street by Philippe Sands“When Is It Genocide?” by The Ezra Klein ShowBook Recommendations:I Will Bear Witness, Volume 1 by Victor KlempererRed Cavalry and Other Stories by Isaac BabelThe Place of Tides by James RebanksThoughts?
