Top Stories for September 23rd Publish Date: September 23rd From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, September 23rd and Happy Birthday to Ray Charles I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Gwinnett's Public Safety Festival set for Sept. 27 Duluth native Riona Harris returns to Gas South Arena as part of Disney On Ice's 'Jump In!' show Immigration board orders Mario Guevara's deportation All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett's Public Safety Festival set for Sept. 27 So, here’s the deal: the 16th annual Public Safety Fall Festival is happening September 27, and honestly, it sounds like a blast. Coolray Field’s the spot—10 a.m. to 2 p.m., if you’re marking your calendar. It’s not just another festival. It’s a chance to actually meet the folks who keep Gwinnett running—police, fire, EMS, even the sheriff’s office. Ever wanted to climb inside a SWAT truck? Or see a fire engine up close? Yeah, they’ve got that. Oh, and the Peach State Rodeo is back! Cops on motorcycles doing wild stunts? Yes, please. Food trucks, face painting, giveaways—what’s not to love? STORY 2: Duluth native Riona Harris returns to Gas South Arena as part of Disney On Ice's 'Jump In!' show Riona Harris is coming home. Duluth’s own, now 24, is about to skate onto the Gas South Arena stage—not as a kid at halftime, but as a pro. Disney on Ice’s “Jump In!” kicks off Thursday, Sept. 25, and she’s in it. Eight shows. Big deal? Oh, absolutely. Riona’s been skating since she was 8, dreaming of this moment since a Disney show she saw with her mom. Now? She’s living it. Polar bears, flying donkeys, Moana villagers—she’s all in. Catch her while you can. STORY 3: Immigration board orders Mario Guevara's deportation Mario Guevara’s life is hanging by a thread. A journalist, a father, a Gwinnett County resident—he’s now sitting in an ICE detention center, facing deportation to El Salvador. Why? For doing his job. For reporting on immigration raids. He’s been in custody since June, after being arrested while covering a protest. Charges? Dropped. But ICE swooped in, digging up a 13-year-old immigration case. His lawyers say he’s here legally, on a work permit, with a path to residency. ICE says otherwise. The ACLU calls it retaliation. Journalism groups agree. And now? He could be deported any day. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: It's that time again — Ghost Tours back in Lawrenceville  Downtown Lawrenceville’s about to get spooky—like, lanterns, ghosts, and bawdy songs kind of spooky. Aurora Theatre’s Haunted Happenings 2025 kicks off Sept. 19 and runs through Nov. 1, and honestly? There’s something for everyone. The Ghost Tour? A 90-minute stroll through the historic Square, packed with eerie tales and paranormal vibes. Feeling braver? The Haunted Cemetery Tour dives into one of the Southeast’s oldest graveyards—chilling stories included. For the grown-ups, there’s Brews & Boos (Oct. 3–30). Drinks, bawdy humor, and haunted history. Enough said. Oh, and don’t miss the Halloween Magic Show (Oct. 18) or the hilariously ridiculous 0.5K Fun Run (Oct. 11). STORY 5: Lawmakers urged to expedite move to new voting system Lawmakers looking to shake up Georgia’s voting system got an earful Thursday. The message? Hurry up—and don’t forget the money. Here’s the deal: a new law, pushed by Republicans, bans the QR codes used by voting machines to record votes. Starting July 1, poll workers need a new system. But what is it? No one knows yet. And, surprise, there’s no funding either. Election officials are stressed. Meanwhile, experts like UC Berkeley’s Philip Stark are calling for hand-marked ballots—cheaper, safer, and easier to audit. Georgia’s current system? Touchscreens, QR codes, and digital records. Stark says it’s flawed. Public opinion? All over the place. Some trust the system, others don’t. One speaker even forgot her point after four hours of debate. Next hearing? Oct. 2 in Covington. Stay tuned. STORY 6: Real work to find new GCPS superintendent begins The hunt for Gwinnett County’s next superintendent is in full swing, and, wow, it’s a process. Alma Advisory Group, the firm leading the search, says they’re listening—like, really listening. There’s a survey online (already 1,400+ responses), and community meetings are happening all over. They’re casual, no-pressure events with translators, childcare, and even a “come late, it’s fine” vibe. People are showing up, sharing what they want: honesty, transparency, someone who can unite a divided board. The job’s huge. Gwinnett’s the biggest, most diverse district in Georgia. No pressure, right? STORY 7: SEC Pipeline: Gwinnett Sending 7 Seniors to Top Softball Conference Every October, when the Georgia state softball tournaments roll into Columbus, Gwinnett County shows up—loud and proud. It’s not just a presence; it’s dominance. Last year? Five of the eight Class 6A teams were from Gwinnett. Add in private schools and other classifications, and the numbers are staggering. And it’s not just state titles. Gwinnett’s pipeline to the SEC is unreal. Nine former players are already on SEC rosters, and next year? Seven more seniors are heading to powerhouse programs like LSU, Florida, and Texas A&M. The county’s investment in youth sports, the coaching, the rivalries—it’s all created a softball factory. And now, the SEC is reaping the rewards. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break 4: Ingles Markets Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

BiAs an Army brat, Larry May travelled more than most will by the time he was ten. His parents were stationed in New Jersey, Hawaii, Georgia and Alabama. He moved to Germany at age 7 and was exposed to many cultures and customs that shaped his world view. His family spent time in France, England, Spain and Scotland before moving back when he was eleven. He was an avid reader and listened to music incessantly in his room. His teens were typical of a small town Southern upbringing. He grew to love Alabama and its denizens. He also questioned some things that were commonplace. He met the girl that would be his wife when they were both seventeen. She took a young man mad at the world and stood him up, dusted him off and was patient while he figured it out. They opened CD Cellar Christmas 1997. The store has been through many iterations but continues to be based in a love for music and serving its musical community. Larry was responsible for starting a music festival for downtown Anniston. It ran for five years and brought national level talent to his hometown and also thousands through its gates. This spawned an art gallery and also reviving the Christmas parade under his watch. The couple's son, Andrew, was born in 2004. He's an accomplished musician that plays with his band, writes and records their music and also is a full time student at JSU. Larry has written a music column for the Anniston Star newspaper for well over a decade.

AJ Johnson of KTVO joins the program to recap week three of Southeast Iowa high school football, highlighting big wins, tough losses, injuries, and rising stars across teams like Ottawa, Pekin, Fairfield, Centerville, and others. The episode covers team trends, coach perspectives, key players to watch, and a look ahead at upcoming district matchups that will shape the season.

This week, Big Chief heads to the Lowcountry to sit down with Burnt Church Distillery President Chris Crowe and Head Distiller Peter Thompson in Bluffton, South Carolina. Together, they dive into the traditions of Carolina grains and the bold vision behind one of the Southeast's most exciting craft distilleries. The tasting kicks off with Johny Fever Small Batch, a four-grain whiskey that immediately caught the Big Man's attention with its balance and character. From there, they raise the bar with Anita's Choice, a six-grain whiskey layered with depth, complexity, and a flavor profile that demands respect. In the second half of the show, Big Chief pours a truly unique expression: Bluffton Whiskey, an American rice whiskey crafted with Carolina Gold rice. Its striking character is unlike anything else on the market. The journey ends with Palmer's Stretch, a dark, rich, chocolaty rye whiskey that leaves a lasting impression on the palate and the soul. This episode is more than a tasting, it's a celebration of Southern heritage, bold innovation, and the people who are shaping the future of whiskey in the Carolinas. And just like Burnt Church Distillery, Big Chief believes in the power of freedom of speech, the freedom to create, and the freedom to let your voice be heard. Whiskey tells a story and this week's episode proves that when you have the courage to be creative, the stories only get stronger. So settle in, take the ride, and remember—whiskey is best enjoyed when you sip it slow and easy. Let the flavors tell their story, let the moment breathe, and let the journey be just as rich as the pour in your glass.

Philip's Business Journey and Nashville Insights In this episode, I sit down with Philip, an entrepreneur with an impressive track record of founding or leading 10 businesses across commercial printing and real estate. With a 4-4-2 record of wins, losses, and draws, Philip embodies the resilience every leader needs. Today, he's the semi-retired CEO of Benchmark Realty, the largest real estate brokerage in Tennessee. Philip shares candid insights on Nashville's explosive growth, its infrastructure challenges, and what the city needs to thrive in the years ahead. Failure as a Teacher Philip and I explore why failure should never be the final word, but rather a stepping stone. Drawing from his military background, Philip explains how mastering the mundane and making incremental improvements create lasting success. We both agreed that resilience is not about avoiding challenges, but embracing them as learning opportunities that sharpen your leadership and strengthen your business. Growth Through Adversity We dive deep into why true business growth rarely happens during comfort and ease. Philip and I shared stories of entrepreneurs who found creative ways to market themselves, including a startup cleaning business that used electrical tape as signage. These scrappy beginnings sparked a broader conversation about how society often fails to encourage entrepreneurs. Our conclusion: leaders must balance critical thinking with encouragement, because innovation thrives where support exists. Stepping Outside the Comfort Zone Philip offered a powerful reminder: success lives outside our comfort zones. He compared critics to chickens pecking at those who dare to stand out, urging us to see criticism as a sign we're on the right path. He stressed that money is not the end goal, but rather the measure of how much value and service we bring to others. True business and life success, he explained, is rooted in serving people first. Legacy and Lessons for the Next Generation Our conversation closed on a reflective note. Philip shared why he dedicated two years to writing his book—a legacy project to pass down four decades of hard-earned wisdom to future generations. He wants millennials, in particular, to access the kind of business education he wished he had early in life. While he admits the book was never about profit, it's about equipping others to sidestep avoidable mistakes and find their own success path. For those interested, Philip's book and insights are available at phillipcantrell.com.   Failing My Way to Success Lessons From 42 Years of Winning (and Losing) in Business Book Description : Success doesn't follow a straight line—and failure isn't the enemy.

✦ On the 4th Monday of each month at Red Light Café, there's a variety show dedicated to chaotic goodness. It's called 'Joy Deficit' and the show always starts with a communal primal scream. City Lights Collective member Katina Pappas-DeLuca recently caught up with Joy Deficit's founder and host, Gina Rickicki, to tell us more about the scream and the show that follows. ✦ The Fulton County Arts Council does so many things. From undergirding and showcasing rising artists to highlighting established talent, to elevating the profile of Atlanta and Georgia on the international stage. With all of that, the Fulton County Arts Council is also still dedicated to partnering with local organizations to create stellar programming that is accessible to all. On September 26 at 7:30 pm, the arts council, in partnership with Art Farm at Serenbe, will be bringing jazz and soul vocalist extraordinaire, Rhonda Thomas, to Gainey Hall in Chattahoochee Hills. City Lights Collective Co-host Jon Goode recently discussed the upcoming night of Jazz with David Manuel, the director of The Fulton County Arts Council. ✦ Although Atlanta has a relatively small Italian population compared to other U.S. cities, the Italian industrial footprint thrives in Georgia. This week's "The Made in Italy Expo" spotlights how the country is showing up in the Southeast, and WABE arts reporter Summer Evans has more. ✦ City Lights Collective members Jasmine Hentschel and EC Flamming, the creatives behind Atlanta's visual art print magazine, "GULCH", want you to get out and engage with the city's art scene. Each week they spotlight five standout happenings, and today their mix includes an Atlanta stop for Adam Davis's project to capture 20,000 tintypes of the black diaspora at Atlanta Center for Photography, experimental installation at Say That Studios which takes place inside a room-sized camera obscura, and work from environmental artists at Spruill Gallery that's sure to spark some existential questions about your relationship with nature. ✦ Atlanta has culinary experiences that range from fine dining to dining that's simply fine, but a good glass of wine can elevate any meal. City Lights Collective members Tory and Sawyer Vanderwerff believe you should feel just as inclined to pull out the corkscrew regardless of the star level of your meal. They spend their time looking for the best and most unpredictable food and wine pairings throughout Georgia, and today, they share what happens when Magic City meets Chateau Elan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for September 13th Publish Date: September 13th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, September 13th and Happy Birthday to Joni Sledge I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Health insurance changes coming to Georgia Paraglider hospitalized after crash at Barrow County Airport Peach Bowl and College Football Playoff Foundation team up for makeover at Lilburn Middle School All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Health insurance changes coming to Georgia Brace yourselves, Georgia. Health-care advocates are sounding the alarm: insurance rates on the government marketplace are set to spike next year. Why? Insurers blame federal budget cuts and the end of COVID-era tax credits, according to Anthony Wright of Families USA. And who’s hit hardest? Folks without job-based coverage—think restaurant servers, gig workers, barbers, plumbers, and other self-employed Georgians. The numbers are grim. KFF says half a million could lose coverage, while Georgians for a Healthy Future estimates 340,000, with rates jumping 75%. STORY 2: Paraglider hospitalized after crash at Barrow County Airport  A paraglider crashed at Barrow County Airport in Winder on Thursday afternoon and was rushed to the hospital, according to the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office. Details? Pretty scarce. Deputies and firefighters got the call around 1:04 p.m. about the crash. When they arrived, the man was breathing but unresponsive—scary stuff. He’s now in the hospital, and the FAA is stepping in to investigate what went wrong. Sheriff Jud Smith praised the quick-thinking citizen who called 911, saying their actions helped first responders get there fast. STORY 3: Peach Bowl and College Football Playoff Foundation team up for makeover at Lilburn Middle School Lilburn Middle School just got a serious upgrade, thanks to Peach Bowl, Inc. and the College Football Playoff Foundation. As part of their Extra Yard Makeover initiative, the school’s STEM lab was completely renovated—and unveiled Tuesday during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Students and teachers got their first look at the revamped space, and let’s just say, jaws dropped. The $200,000 partnership has already transformed eight schools, including Hope Hill Elementary and North Clayton Middle. Oh, and one lucky teacher? Surprised with $1,000 for classroom projects. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 9 STORY 4: Hussey Gay Bell expands Duluth architectural studio with addition of Victor Rodriguez Hussey Gay Bell has welcomed Victor Rodriguez as a project manager in its Duluth office, and it sounds like they’ve landed a pro. Rodriguez, who calls Duluth home, brings nearly 10 years of experience in architectural design, project management, and permitting. He’s got a knack for navigating codes, reviewing shop drawings, and keeping clients happy—basically, the guy knows his stuff. A Kennesaw State grad with additional training in project and practice management, Rodriguez is set to make waves in the firm’s seven core markets, from healthcare to transportation. Founded in 1958, Hussey Gay Bell now operates eight offices across the Southeast. STORY 5: Valdosta State president leaving for California post Valdosta State University President Richard Carvajal is heading west. Come January 20, he’ll take the helm at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, leaving behind nearly a decade of leadership at VSU. Carvajal stepped in during a rocky time in 2017—he was the seventh president in just eight years—and brought much-needed stability. Under his watch, VSU hit milestones: record graduate enrollment, campus renovations, and a $39 million performing arts center in progress. Break 3: STORY 6: Buford woman wins Mrs. America crown Growing up in tiny Glennville, Georgia, Paige Ewing (née Armstrong) dabbled in pageants—Junior Miss Tattnall County, Miss Pinewood Christian Academy, even Miss Georgia Onion (yes, that’s a thing). At 18, she won Miss Tattnall County and competed in Miss Georgia, but after that? She figured her pageant days were over. Life moved on. Fast forward to this summer: Paige, now a wife, mom, business owner, and grief coach, was crowned Mrs. Georgia. Then, in August, she took the national title—Mrs. America. STORY 7: GET OUT THERE: 5 things to do this weekend in Gwinnett County — Sept. 12-14 Travis Tritt in Buford When: Saturday, 6 p.m. Where: Buford Community Center, 2200 Buford Highway NE, Buford Country music icon Travis Tritt hits Buford this Saturday, joined by Drake White and Tyler Reese Tritt.

Located in Cartersville, Georgia, between Atlanta and Chattanooga, this expanding event showcases the passion and diversity of car culture across the Southeast.Mary Argusza takes us behind the scenes as spectators line up before dawn, eager to experience both the outdoor car show and the museum's impressive indoor exhibits. The museum itself spans 60,000 square feet with five distinct galleries, featuring a strategic rotation system that ensures fresh experiences for repeat visitors. Currently, guests can explore exhibits like "Harvest to Highway" with agricultural vehicles, small block muscle cars, racing Jaguars, and an extraordinary collection of ten Duesenbergs representing every iteration of these legendary automobiles.What makes the Connection Car Show particularly special is its organic growth through word-of-mouth and collaborative relationships with regional car clubs. Though organizers capped show car entries at 300 vehicles, spectator turnout far exceeded expectations, with parking overflowing onto grassy areas surrounding the facility. The event has expanded into a two-day experience featuring a Friday driving tour culminating at the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame, followed by Saturday's main show with People's Choice awards and the coveted Savoy Award.Unique vehicles dotted the landscape, from pristine classics to modified hot rods, with surprising finds like a Minneapolis Moline tractor featuring a cab and jump seat – capable of 40mph speeds but requiring "the length of a train" to stop due to its rudimentary drum brakes.

In this newscast: Juneau may be getting a ‘new' City Hall after all – but this time voters won't get to decide on whether to approve it; The union that represents support staff at the Juneau School District is suing the district over its afterschool child care program; Last year, the Klondike Road Relay got off to a late start when a tour bus crash delayed the race, forcing participants to skip the first few legs. This year, the event celebrated its biggest gathering, despite broken infrastructure and ongoing political tension; Sea shanties have been around for centuries. But in recent years, they've made a pop culture comeback. You can hear them all over TikTok or in the video game Assassin's Creed 4. But one man has been getting generations of people in Ketchikan to sing shanty songs for over 30 years. 

George Soros and the communists want to take over a nuclear power plant in southeast Georgia…. No, we aren't kidding. Plus, someone wrote a book for Kamala Harris and it's full of some whoppers.

Today on Consuming the Craft, I welcomed Charlie Frisch from the American Red Cross to dive into the often-misunderstood world of blood donation. We got into what the Red Cross really does—going beyond blood drives to offer lifesaving training, disaster relief, and resources for veterans. Charlie shed light on the urgent and ongoing need for blood, especially in Western North Carolina, and shared the staggering fact that only 3% of people donate blood regularly. We unraveled misconceptions, discussed what it really feels like to give blood, and shared practical advice for anyone considering rolling up their sleeve for the first time. In true Consuming the Craft fashion, we also explored the intersection of fermentation and blood science while sampling a fine Armagnac, connecting the dots between crafting drinks and saving lives.Charlie Frisch has been with the American Red Cross for about a year, bringing with him 14 years of radio experience and several years in outdoor and alternative education. A New Yorker at heart who found his way to Asheville, Charlie is deeply passionate about community resilience and education. As a Red Cross representative, he works endlessly to inform and inspire others to donate blood and volunteer, helping to drive humanitarian aid and relief efforts far beyond local boundaries."When you think about the fact, and this is staggering, that only 3% of folks donate blood… that shortage starts to make sense." ~Charlie FirschToday on Consuming the Craft:·     The American Red Cross does much more than just blood drives; they provide lifeguard, CPR, and first aid training, disaster relief, and support for veterans.·     Only 3% of Americans regularly donate blood, leading to a perpetual shortage both locally in Western North Carolina and nationwide.·     Blood donations are critical because blood can only be stored for 42 days before it must be used.·     The process of donating blood is now quick (about 40 minutes), virtually painless, and highly efficient thanks to skilled professionals.·     Power Red donations allow eligible donors to give a concentrated amount of red blood cells using a smaller needle, making the experience even easier.·     Donors receive information on their blood type, blood pressure, hemoglobin, and even where their blood ends up being used—all via the Red Cross app.·     Anyone in good health, aged 17+ (or 16 with parental consent), can donate, and Power Red requires certain height and weight minimums.·     Interested individuals and organizations can volunteer with or host blood drives through the Red Cross, increasing their community impact. Contact Charlie Frisch and Red Cross Resources:Red Cross website: redcross.orgRed Cross Blood Donor App: Download to schedule appointments, track your donations, and receive updates on your blood's journeyRed Cross Asheville Donation Center: 100 Edgewood, West Asheville (off Merriman)To volunteer or set up a blood drive: Visit redcross.org and fill out a contact form, Charlie or a team member will reach out within 24 hoursResources Mentioned:• Red Cross Blood Donor App • Craft Beverage Institute of the Southeast • Hemocytometer (used for both blood and brewing science) This episode is brought to you by… McConnell Farms - Taste the Way You Remember.

I'm kicking off a explosive new livestream/podcast tonight at 7:00pm—mark my words, this is gonna be a scorched-earth takedown you won't want to miss. For now, it'll hit every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday (give or take—I refuse to chain myself to a nightly grind and flame out like some half-assed failure), and with the raw, unfiltered ammo I'm dropping, it needs time to build up steam over a few days. We're expanding the FAFO / SaveJXN warpath across the entire Southeast, ripping into news stories that scream “CULTURE ROT” in those decaying urban Democrat hellholes like Jackson, Memphis, Atlanta, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, New Orleans, and beyond—hell, I'll even torch non-Democrat spots if the crime's vile enough to demand it. SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube, Rumble, or X/Twitter RIGHT NOW and smash that notification bell so you're locked and loaded when I go live. This is Clay Edwards unleashed: 100% uncensored, zero scripts, completely off the rails, and ready to burn it all down like you've never witnessed!!  

There seems to be a trend brewing, largely in the Southeast.  State after state has announced its intention to eliminate their state income tax.   South Carolina recently joined this group when Nancy Mace, a candidate for governor, announced her plan to reduce South Carolina's income tax rate to zero.This week, the FAIRtax Guys take a look at just how many states have figured out that having no state income tax gives them an advantage over neighboring states, and why some states have a better plan than others.

They revisit Cardi B’s courtroom appearance, where her unfiltered language and direct delivery spark a sharp take on how juries respond when a witness owns exactly who they are. They also examine a case in Kentucky involving the death of a newborn and the legal questions still surrounding the investigation. Plus, Sheryl previews what she’s looking forward to at CrimeCon, including a live panel she’ll lead with Ed Newcomer, a special agent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and a recent Zone 7 guest.

Growing up in the north Georgia mountains in the 1980s, I had an encounter that changed everything I thought I knew about the world. Something massive, walking on two legs, chased me out of the woods when I was twelve years old. That terrifying experience sent me down a decades-long rabbit hole, researching and collecting stories from across the American Southeast.In this episode, I share my personal encounter along with the haunting story of Mr. Brown, a Summerville carpenter who came face-to-face with an injured eight-foot-tall creature while hunting ginseng in 1986. We explore the hidden history of Sasquatch sightings throughout Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and the Carolinas, from ancient Cherokee legends of Tsul 'Kalu to modern-day encounters captured on police dash cams.Despite what skeptics claim about the Southeast being too developed for unknown primates to exist, the evidence tells a different story. We examine compelling accounts from the Minnehaha Falls incident, the Florida Skunk Ape photographs, Tennessee's Flintville Monster siege, and hundreds of other documented encounters that mainstream science refuses to acknowledge. From the vast wilderness of the Great Smoky Mountains to the impenetrable Everglades, these creatures have been seen by thousands of credible witnesses over centuries.This isn't about proving anything to anybody. This is about the truth of what people have experienced in the shadows of the Southern woods, and why these ancient mysteries deserve our respect, not our ridicule.Because sometimes, in those quiet moments when the fog rolls through the hollows and the modern world feels far away, we're reminded that we don't know everything about the forests we call home.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
