In Episode 560: Smoky Mountain Monster Hunter, we are joined by Brian Jeffery from Black Mass Paranormal. He is a local legend hunter as he was born and raised in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. He has heard all the stories growing up and has also had his share of close encounters with the beasts that roam these hills. He comes to the studio to talk about his paranormal investigations and cryptid-hunting adventures such as hunting for the dogman and catching a bigfoot on thermal.

Running nearly 2,200 miles along the spine of the Appalachian Range from Georgia to Maine, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail arguably is the world's most famous long-distance trail. Some think it's also one that can be very crowded in spots. Morgan Sommerville, the director of visitor use management for the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, joins us today to discuss the trail in general and whether it's too crowded.

On this week's episode, host Caryn Antonini is joined by Cassidee Dabney, Executive Chef at the Barn at Blackberry Farm, a luxury resort and farm located in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Chef Cassidee grew up with an appreciation for nature's bounty and seasonal freshness which provided a solid foundation for her culinary path. She is a graduate of the New England Culinary Institute and worked in various locations around the world, most of which were spent with the Four Seasons hotel group, before settling at Blackberry Farm. An acclaimed chef, Cassidee has been nominated three times for the James Beard Award - Best Chef Southeast and continues her culinary innovation at Blackberry Farm, known for it farm to table cuisine. Cassidee not only brings extraordinary culinary talent but also a deep passion for Southern hospitality, seasonal cooking, and storytelling through food.For more information on our guest:@cassideeHomeblackberryfarm.comCaryn Antoniniwww.cultivatedbycaryn.com@carynantonini@cultivatedbycarynshow###Get great recipes from Caryn at https://carynantonini.com/recipes/

In Kim on a Whim, Kim dives into the unraveling of Airbnb as hosts face record-low bookings—even with bargain prices in scenic spots like the Smoky Mountains. She highlights Airbnb's new policies that let guests cancel last-minute and file retroactive payment disputes, leaving hosts empty-handed and angry. Kim compares the mess to the streaming wars—overcomplicated, overpriced, and pushing people back to the old ways, like hotels. From hidden cameras to customer fatigue, Kim says the once-beloved Airbnb may be heading the way of cable: too greedy, too messy, and no longer worth it.

Allen Hall: So we're in Dunlap, Tennessee, not too far from Nashville, uh, and also close to. Chattanooga Chattanooga, and we're in the Smoky Mountains ish region. We're Alfred Crabtree: no, we're, we're, you could consider it Appalachia for sure. Sure. Okay. Uh, we're on the, in the valley called the Seche Valley, uh, which splits the Cumberland Plateau. So we're, we're in a valley and we have hills a thousand feet above us here. Yeah. Either way. It's beautiful. Joel Saxum: Yeah. It's a great drive in here. Alfred Crabtree: Yeah. It's a unique place. Yeah. Allen Hall: And we're at Blade Repair Academy, which, uh, if you're not familiar with Blade Repair Academy, you should be. Uh, because a lot of the good training that happens in the United States actually happens to play repair, repair Care blade, repair academy. Uh, yeah, it's been a long week at uh, OMS this week and we got the introduction today. This is the first time we've been on site. That's right. And, uh, we wanted to see all the cool things that are happening [00:01:00] here. And it really comes down to technician training competency. Working with blades, working with tools, knowing what you're doing up tower when you're on the blade, which is hard to train. It's really hard to train, and both you and Cheryl have a ton of experience being up on blades and repairing blades and scarfing and doing all the critical features that have to happen to make blades work today. It's a tough training regimen. There's a lot to it and a lot of subtleties that don't always get transferred over from teachers to students unless you have. Done it for a number of years. You wanna kind of just walk through the philosophy of Blade Repair Academy? Alfred Crabtree: Yes. The, uh, you've, you've outlined quite well some of the issues. The environment where we work is very hard to take a ti the time to put somebody through a training regimen. We're so constrained by weather windows and then. You know, even if the weather's nice, lightning can come, wind [00:02:00] speeds can cut off your workday. So production, production, production is what's important. And Cheryl and I both come from the rope access method. And in the rope access method, 95% of the time you're up there alone. And if you're up there and you're producing, you've got your blinders on. Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Alfred Crabtree: And you're not ready to share with somebody else what to do. Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Alfred Crabtree: With the basket or platform, you can have two even three people up on Blade, but it still has all these constraints of get the job done, get the job done. There's a lot of stress up there. And having the bandwidth to take on new information or to challenge some preconceived notions or try, that's not the place to do it. So knowing that. Blade Repair Academy is built so that we have an environment that simulates all of the up tower stuff without being up tower. And you're gonna have the time you need to invest in your learning without consequences. Right. So it's a very much a [00:03:00] about creating the right environment to uptake the new information.

Deep within North Carolina's rugged mountains and misty shores, shadows whisper and legends refuse to die.

Today's guest is a titan of political journalism - someone whose calm, incisive reporting helped us make sense of the madness during one of the most dramatic chapters in American political history. It's Jon Sopel, the former BBC North America Editor, who spent eight rollercoaster years covering the United States, through Trump, through Covid, through history being made in real time.He's interviewed presidents, grilled press secretaries, and yes - even been shouted at by Donald Trump himself.Now, Jon's back on home turf - though the country he's returned to isn't quite the Britain he left behind. In his brilliant new book Strangeland, Jon turns his razor-sharp eye on post-Brexit Britain, peeling back the layers of a nation that feels unfamiliar even to someone who grew up here. It's part political memoir, part social commentary, and entirely unputdownable.These days, you'll know Jon as one-third of the brilliant trio behind The News Agents, one of the UK's most popular news podcasts, which he co-hosts with Emily Maitlis and Lewis Goodall. It's completely redefined how many people consume the news - and it's an absolute must-listen if you don't already.In this episode, we dive into the shifting political landscapes of both the UK and the US and of course, we set off on Jon's Travel Diaries - from his long stint in Washington D.C. to the sun-drenched Riviera, the energy of Rio, and the beauty of Sydney.Holly's Destination Recap: Puente Romano Hotel, Marbella, Spain Jon's Destination Recap:New York City, USA French Riviera, FranceSt Paul de Vence, France La Colombe D'or, St Paul de Vence, France Paris, FranceMusée Marmottan Monet, Paris, FranceJardin du Ranelagh, Paris, France Andia (formerly Restaurant La Gare), Paris, France Afghanistan Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Tokyo, Japan Sydney, Australia Noosa, Queensland, Australia Blackberry Farm, Smoky Mountains, Tennessee, USAMaine, USANantucket, Massachusetts, USAShelter Island, New York, USACosta RicaThe Galapagos RwandaStrangeland: Is This Britain's New Normal?

Ever felt like you’re stuck in a season of waiting? Oh friend, you’re not alone. In today’s episode, I sit down with Rebecca George, author of You're Not Too Late: Trusting God's Timing in a Hurry-Up World. Rebecca shares her honest journey of longing, waiting, and learning to trust God’s timing—even when life felt like it was moving without her. We talk about everything from divine timing (including a sweet story about a prayer bench in the Smoky Mountains!) to what olive trees in Israel taught Rebecca about patience and faith. Plus, we dig into why weakness isn’t the end of your story—it’s the beginning of God's strength shining through. If you’re in a season of wondering, waiting, or asking “when, Lord?”—this episode will remind you: His timing really is perfect. Xo, Donna Listen in to learn more!

We sit down with Chris Van Arnam, an STR operator who's not just building high-performing short-term rentals in the Smoky Mountains, but doing it while living halfway across the world in Italy.Chris walks us through how he built a 10-cabin portfolio rooted in data, operational efficiency, and design differentiation. He opens up about why he sold off part of his portfolio, how he pivoted into new construction, and what it's really like managing from a different continent.We unpack:How Chris sourced and scaled his first 10 propertiesThe power of data when choosing a marketWhy operational density matters—and how to achieve itWhat makes a short-term rental truly “differentiated”The hard lessons from new construction vs. heavy renosBuilding a property management company (even when you didn't plan to)How to operate a U.S.-based STR portfolio from Europe with precisionWhether you're just getting started or are in the thick of growing your portfolio, this episode is packed with real-world insights from someone who's quietly built a scalable STR business from scratch.

Today, Jon and Kristin dive into a hilariously unhinged convo recapping their week. Kristin takes a trip down Coachella memory lane and shares why she's very happy to be skipping the desert this year - Instead she's home celebrating Marcus's birthday and embracing her inner homesteader on the farm. Meanwhile, Jon heads to the Smoky Mountains for his parents' 60th Birthday celebration, then makes his way back to North Carolina for a cozy Passover with family. You're going to love this one!

  It's always interesting to find out that public figures can be as obsessed with fly fishing as we are. People like Harrison Ford, Jeff Daniels, Tucker Carlson, Bette Midler, Jimmy Kimmel, and Dick Cheney are all serious fly fishers. (And no, I don't have any of them on tap for my podcast). But Rahm Emanuel [37:25] is a dedicated listener to this podcast, and when I had a chance to interview him I took it. There is no politics in this podcast interview—just a fanatic fly fisher who talks about why he loves it, how he finds time in his busy life to go fly fishing, and what excites him the most about it. This was a lively and fun interview with a fair amount of good-natured ribbing.    In the Fly Box this week I have no voice files to play (hint, hint) but lots of great e-mails with interesting questions and a few tips from listeners, including: A listener looks for advice on how to carry his fishing gear on a plane. How do I fish plunge pools? Why don't I catch anything in the deep spot below the waterfall? What rods do I need for fishing both small streams in Smoky Mountain streams and steelhead fishing in Ohio? A listener gives advice on the Orvis Dropper Rig Fly Box and why you need to check local regulations before you use a 3-fly rig. A listener relates a story of his great customer service experience Why did trout smash my size 20 dry fly but not connect? Will smallmouth bass and rainbow trout hold in the same water? What knots do you recommend for different presentations and why? What is the best way to get my fly under the mangroves without hanging up?

I am not sure how to write this one up. Spoke to the witness and before we started the interview he said “I have the creepiest paranormal encounter you have probably ever heard….30 min later I said “You were right, that was the creepiest thing I have ever heard.” a listener writes “Hello Wes, I have listened to your show for a couple years now and was curious if you are still doing them. I have had some very strange encounters starting when I was a Senior in High School in 1989. I am now in Western North Carolina and after 4 years of a quiet life, I am now having encounters with creatures in the Smoky Mountains and my home here that sits atop a Mountain just outside the Cherokee Indian Reservation. I would love to discuss some of these events with you and possibly share some of my stories on your show if possible. Please let me know if you are interested. I do have some pics and Audio of some of my encounters as well.”
