Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!In 1981 Brookfield, Connecticut, an altercation ended with Alan Bono losing his life—and a courtroom battle followed that tried to introduce demonic possession as a legal defense. We trace the full timeline: 11-year-old David Glatzel's reported afflictions, the involvement of Ed & Lorraine Warren and multiple clergy, Arne Cheyenne Johnson's alleged transference challenge, and Judge Robert Callahan's decision to bar possession evidence at trial.

Meet Rachel Leonard Kennedy – an American author and entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in marketing and relationship building. Her passion is in helping people turn small talk into big opportunities and find their tribe so they can finally feel like they belong. Her clients primarily consist of women between the ages of 18 to 45 who want to become better communicators in order to build deeper relationships, expand their career opportunities through networking and various social circles, and create more authentic relationships with themselves and others.Rachel Leonard Kennedy's prowess for relationship building, writing and creating an authentic public image that someone can feel confident in stems from her own upbringing and life's journey. “Growing up in a Southern household where traditional roles and femininity are highlighted, with three brothers, meant I had a lot of exposure to seeing how men think. My mother was a stay-at-home mom, but also very entrepreneurial and because of this dynamic, I have a very feminine approach to business,” she says. “My late husband also had a job that moved us around constantly, and being married at such a young age I wasn't even finished with my first degree. Out of necessity I turned to the internet for ideas on how to make money and discovered blogging. I started to learn how the power of story telling could help me connect with people, and help people connect with new ideas, experiences, and products that could solve a problem or bring them closer together. ”Many may know Rachel Leonard Kennedy from the early blogging and influencer days. Her travel and lifestyle content brought in hundreds of thousands of clicks and income due to her months of studying the search engine optimization space. Finally, after creating content for a beauty serum that made her skin break out, she decided she could no longer pretend to promote products she did not actually believe in. In 2017, she began reaching out to her influencer contacts and offered up her services to ghost write their blogs, email newsletters and even website copy. “I remember the first blog post that made one of my clients $11,000 in one day. After that, I knew I'd figured out my calling: to help people by writing in a way that tells a good story,” she says.Rachel Leonard is also a three time author. Her popular eBooks address and fix the three biggest things that keep people from having secure, authentic relationships: inaccurate or distorted self-image, low self-esteem and low self-confidence, and not knowing how to start building a social circle full of people who can enhance one's life and propel one forward both personally and professionally. Her networking, marketing and lifestyle tips have featured on numerous podcasts and talk shows as well as in magazines such as Vogue, Forbes, Business Insider, Homes & Gardens, Martha Stewart Living and The New York Times.Kennedy is currently writing her fourth book, and in her spare time enjoys testing out both sweet and savory southern recipes, collecting vintage portraits and running her neighborhood book club in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she currently resides. She also serves as Vice President for the FortWood Historic District and consults for Preserve Chattanooga, for which she created and launched a podcast series to highlight stories of notable residents.Please follow Rachel on IG @thekennedycurateGet your Jumpstart Journal here: http://subscribepage.io/YCauoKWork with me: www.karaleighgarrison.com/coaching

On this episode of MatTalk, Jason and John dive into the Season 6 Matlock classic, “The Evening News.”

【聊了什么The What】 在“女权疲劳”与“woke倦怠”之后，美国流行文化正在经历一场“女性气质”的回潮（Vibe Shift）：保守女性气质重新流行起来。本期节目我们深入聊了姐妹会文化、MAGA美妆、还有TikTok上那些看似“非政治”的倡导健康生活的视频，是如何一步步把女性重新绑回“温柔、克制、顺从”的模子里，在无形中复活了反女性主义的观念。从阿拉巴马大学的 Bama Rush 现象到 Sydney Sweeney 的“cool girl”形象，这场Vibe Shift不仅是审美的变化，更是一种政治与文化的再编码，当流行文化把政治意识形态与个人价值混为一谈，什么样的女性故事被放大，又有哪些被抹去？ As part two of our Vibe Shift Trilogy, this episode dives into the return of conservative femininity in American pop culture today. We dive into pop culture moments such as Bama Rush, MAGA beauty trends on TikTok, the rise of wellness influencers and how their “apolitical” content is quietly reviving anti-feminist ideals of the olden days. The vibe shift isn't just about aesthetics, but a recoding of culture and politics. In this shift, we question what kinds of stories of womanhood get amplified — and which are erased? 【时间轴 The When】 1:30: Sydney Sweeney 牛仔裤广告的争议，保守派审美的回归 8:00 “男人圈” vs “女人圈” 文化是如何通过健身、美容等“非政治”话题，随后逐渐渗入反女性主义和厌女的意识形态。 11:20 女人圈的健康类头部播客如何散播保守女性主义，“健康 = 美丽 = 道德” 14:20 自由派女性叙事倦怠，保守叙事趁虚而入 23:48 从Bama Rush大学姐妹会文化来看美国南方保守主义的女性理想 38:44 保守叙事下新一代女性的人生理想是如何变成寻找值得依靠的伴侣 1:30 Sydney Sweeney and her jeans/genes and the return of the conservative femininity 8:00 – “manosphere” vs “womanosphere” cultures use seemingly non-political topics like fitness and beauty to gradually introduce anti-feminist and misogynistic ideologies 11:20 – top women's health podcasts in the “womanosphere” spread conservative femininity, promoting the idea that “Health = Beauty = Morality” 14:20 – Fatigue with liberal female narratives opens the door for conservative messaging 23:48 – Examining ideals of Southern conservative femininity through Bama Rush and Greek life 38:44 – The reinvention of the feminist ideal: securing a reliable partner and what that means for society 【拓展链接 The Links】 社会学家Anne Helen Petersen关于Bama Rush的文章，链接 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】 除了播客以外，疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号，我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么，快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu. We will periodically post content such as “CyberPink Reading,” “CyberPink Watching,” “CyberPink Traveling,” “CyberPink Vlog,” and more.

On this episode of Cooking Issues, Dave Arnold welcomes culinary historian and award-winning author Michael Twitty to discuss his new book The American South. Twitty shares stories of growing up with Southern food traditions, his deep research into the region's culinary roots, and how gardening, foraging, and heritage recipes shaped his perspective on what “Southern food” really means.The conversation ranges from okra soup, red rice, and long-simmered green beans to the history of sweet tea, sassafras, poke salad, and rice bread. Twitty explains how dishes evolved across communities—African American, Indigenous, European, and immigrant—and why understanding migrations is key to understanding Southern cuisine. He also reflects on the challenges of translating historical recipes for modern cooks, the impact of changing agriculture on flavor, and the importance of reclaiming overlooked foodways.Along the way, the crew trades stories about Taiwan's cocktail bars, bison steaks, and Maryland fried chicken, while diving into listener questions on how to approach historic cookbooks and balance authenticity with adaptation.

It's been a long road to election day here in New Orleans, but we're in the home stretch. On October 11, anyone who didn't vote early will cast their ballots in several races, including for the city's next mayor. Verite News reporter Katie Jane Fernelius, WWNO education reporter Aubri Juhasz and the coastal desk's Eva Tesfaye join us to share what the candidates are saying about key issues.  Southern University has gotten off to a rough start this fall. Since August, the campus has shut down four times due to threats of violence. More recently, the Historically Black University had a power outage that sent everyone home. Dr. Melanie Smith Johnson has been an associate professor of political science at Southern for 23 years. She spoke with WRKF's Alex Cox about how the school is remaining hopeful. As Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, thousands of incarcerated people remained in the parish jail.Twenty years later, we consider the legacy of that event. In the second report in a series, the Gulf States Newsroom's Kat Stromquist speaks with corrections officials about how Katrina changed their thinking — and how they care for people in lockups during storms now.___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber.

Her mother uses their last funds to take Elena and her younger sister to Graham Springs, Kentucky, where people find healing by drinking the mineral spring water and healthy recreation through the many daily activities--including dances almost every evening. As her mother schemes to find Elena a wealthy husband, Elena finds herself drawn to two men her mother would never consider. Charming artist Kirby Frazier spends his days drawing and painting the guests, but his real mission is to find a wealthy bride to finance his dream to go west. Melancholy Andrew Harper has come to Graham Springs in need of healing after a broken heart.

But when an unexpected tragedy occurs, Elena, Kirby, and Andrew will all be faced with decisions of life, love, and loyalty.With a Southern flair and a spark of intrigue, this stand-alone clean historical romance will charm readers with masterful artists, colorful dances, a love triangle, and endearing family relationships.Get your copy of The Pursuit of Elena Bradford by Ann Gabhart.Meet Ann Gabhart:Hi, glad you could stop by to get to know me better. I'm a country girl, born and raised on a farm in the Outer Bluegrass region of Kentucky. I know you're thinking horse farm, but no, not out my way. Mostly cows on the farms around here. My grandfather did have a big old workhorse when I was a little girl. My family grew tobacco and corn. We had a few milk cows, some hogs and sheep, but mostly beef cattle. I grew up working on the farm and enjoying the woods and animals. My roots go deep in the land, and I now live on a farm just a mile away from the farmhouse where I was raised.I started writing when I was ten and have been writing ever since. My first published writings (personal experience pieces, youth stories, and poems) were in church periodicals like Home Life. My first novel, A Forbidden Yearning, a historical romance about the settling of Kentucky, was published by Warner Books in 1978. Since then I've published forty other novels for adults and young adults. Some of the early titles are out of print now but still floating around out there as used books.Visit Ann Gabhart's website.

In this episode of The Gangland History Podcast, host Jacob Stoops interviews acclaimed author and Mafia historian Scott Deitche, one of the nation's foremost experts on organized crime in Florida and the Trafficante crime family.Together, they trace the full evolution of the Tampa Mafia — from its earliest days under Ignazio Italiano, through decades of bloody rivalries, Cuban connections, and political intrigue, to its quiet decline under the final generation of mob leadership.The conversation begins with the waves of Italian immigration to Tampa's Ybor City and the cigar industry that built both the economy and the foundation of the underworld. From there, Scott and Jacob explore Tampa's first crime boss, Ignazio Italiano, and the city's early reputation as a hotbed of vice, gambling, and corruption.Listeners will hear about the 1928 Hotel Statler Meeting, where Mafia leaders from across the country gathered to define territories and business interests — putting Tampa's underworld squarely on the national map.From there, the episode dives into the violent Charlie Wall era, when the powerful gambling czar ruled Tampa's rackets amid a feud that pitted him against Ignazio Antinori and Santo Trafficante, Sr. The bloody power struggle culminated in Antinori's assassination in 1940, marking a turning point that ushered in the Trafficante dynasty.Under Santo Trafficante, Sr., Tampa's mob consolidated power — but not without conflict. His clashes with Red Italiano and Jimmy Lumia (whose murder rocked the city) underscored the treacherous nature of Mafia politics in Florida.After Sr.'s death in the 1950's, his son Santo Trafficante, Jr. rose to prominence as Boss of the borgata, leading the family for 30+ years through its golden age. Under Santo Jr.'s his reign, the Tampa Mafia reached international stature, with deep ties to Cuba's casino industry, relationships with New Orleans boss Carlos Marcello, and a presence at the Apalachin and Kefauver hearings that exposed the Mafia's nationwide reach.As the decades unfolded, Trafficante Jr. found himself entangled in the web of Kennedy-era politics, CIA intrigue, and allegations surrounding Cuba and the Bay of Pigs, while maintaining his position as one of the most powerful and respected Mafia bosses in America.Scott and Jacob also examine the decline of the Tampa mob as Trafficante Jr. aged — and how figures like Frank “Daddy Frank” Diecidue and Vincent “Vince” LoScalzo carried the torch into the family's final chapter. By the 1990s, with LoScalzo as the last recognized boss, the once-powerful Tampa Mafia had faded quietly into history.This episode offers a comprehensive, rigorously researched look at the rise, dominance, and fall of the Trafficante family — a story that blends Southern charm, Cuban influence, and old-world Mafia tradition into one of the most fascinating organized crime sagas in America.

Season 6 of Nobody Should Believe Me covers the extraordinary and tragic saga of the McDaniel family, a real-life Southern Gothic tale of Munchausen by Proxy that spans decades and has left untold damage in its wake.  For the past twelve years, Lisa McDaniel worked for The Guthy Jackson Foundation, a high-profile non-profit, dedicated to a rare disease called NMO (Neuromyelitis Optica), from which Lisa claims her son suffered.  But while Lisa appears to be a sweet Southern mom whose personal tragedy led to her heroic work, this image hides her dark history of abuse. How was Lisa able to keep her felony conviction for poisoning and suffocating her infant daughter hidden? How did her children slip through the cracks of the healthcare and legal systems again and again? What really happened to her son Collin?   Season Six breaks a story that is years in the making and made possible through the astounding courage of Mishelle Roberts. This season ties together many elements introduced in previous seasons: ways that systems fail vulnerable victims, the culture of silence and inaction within hospitals that enables abuse, and the damage done to rare disease advocacy and victims' groups which can devastate families and echo through generations.  Follow the show here.

This episode takes a hard look at two unfolding stories—Cracker Barrel's disastrous San Francisco-led rebrand and the growing free speech crackdown in the UK. From a restaurant chain alienating its Southern roots to “speech police” raiding homes in the middle of the night over tweets criticizing Hamas, we explore how culture, censorship, and political double standards are colliding. We cover Jewish couples murdered in hate crimes, Islamists celebrating in the streets, and even a 75-year-old woman arrested for silently offering support outside an abortion clinic. What do these stories have in common? A warning about where selective outrage, weaponized laws, and government-backed speech policing can lead—and why Donald J. Trump's supporters see him as the last line of defense.

On this episode of Special Sauce we talk to the terrific Southern food writer John T. Edge about his memoir House of Smoke: A Southerner Goes Searching for Home. His journey from a childhood in a small town in Georgia that in many ways still celebrated the Confederacy to running the Southern Foodways Alliance is a remarkable one.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go. It's strategic. Every people group in our database has been vetted by researchers and field workers. These aren't randomly selected communities. They're the 100 largest frontier people groups, the populations with the least gospel access and the greatest potential for kingdom impact. It grows with your capacity. Whether you're adopting as a family, church, or organization, the commitment adjusts to what you can offer. Some will pray weekly. Others will fund translation projects. A few will end up moving to the field. All contributions matter. When you adopt a people group today, you'll receive: Immediate next steps for your specific adopted group A digital covenant card to mark your commitment Information about your frontier people group Regular updates as we develop more resources and connections Beyond the practical resources, you'll receive something harder to quantify: the knowledge that you're part of a strategic response to the most urgent spiritual need on our planet. The Batak people have been sending missionaries to unreached groups for decades now. Their story didn't end with their own transformation; it multiplied exponentially.

The writer Ta-Nehisi Coates was harshly critical of my response to Charlie Kirk's assassination. In an article in Vanity Fair, he suggested I was whitewashing Kirk's legacy, comparing it to the whitewashing of the Southern cause after the Civil War.So I wanted to have Coates on the show to talk out our disagreement, as well as some deeper questions that I think exist underneath it about the work of politics.What should the left do about the fact that so many Americans share Kirk's views? What kinds of disagreements should we try to bridge? When is that work moral and necessary, and when is it a betrayal?This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:“Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause” by Ta-Nehisi CoatesBetween the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates“My President Was Black” by Ta-Nehisi CoatesBook Recommendations:The Brothers by Stephen KinzerRace and Reunion by David W.
