Dave shares the origin of the Circle Program, the launch of the Legislator Guide for Circular Policy, and how bringing policymakers, industry, and NGOs together has shaped national conversations on EPR, DRS, and circularity.

Ryan was recently a guest on Shilo Brooks' podcast, Old School, to talk about a book that's meant a lot to him over the years, Walker Percy's The Moviegoer. They discuss why this quiet Southern novel, set in postwar New Orleans, remains so resonant and what it reveals about meaning, distraction, and the universal search for purpose.Catch the rest of the episode by checking out Old School with Shilo Brooks on Youtube, Apple, or Spotify

For our post-Christmas Dopey episode we kick it off with a Christmas gift review and we read Spotify comments on the Alec Baldwin episode we shout out NANA/Lili Coffin hitting 6 years sober, and weaves in sponsor love. The return of White Tighties Jeremy Turner accidentally shooting Viagra and an email all about meth-fueled multi-day porn marathons that destroy skin and phones another about brutal long-term benzo withdrawal horrors, and a wild prison-submitted bath salts tale full of paranoia and fake-reality glitches.Then, at 25:42, Yellow Balloon recovery powerhouse Jen Dawson takes over with her unforgettable Southern story – from feeling like an outsider in a "normal" family, early prescribed Adderall and wild "nipple" psilocybin mushrooms, diving headfirst into '99 Phish tour life, crystal meth insanity, toxic soulmate drama (including a pistol-whipping incident), a venomous spider bite leading to near foot amputation and a pain-clinic fentanyl jackpot, research chemicals, shooting heroin, the devastating stillbirth of her son Dakota, a suicide attempt, multiple jail stints, and finally true surrender in a strict year-long program. Now 11 years sober, Jen shares how sweat lodges helped her connect with Dakota's spirit, rebuilding life with daughter Cyprus (now 18 and thriving), going to college, and finding lifelong community in the Yellow Balloon sober jam-band scene.

In “Southern caviar is wild, nutty, and...sustainable?” Gravy producer Irina Zhorov takes us to the Tombigbee River, where valuable paddlefish swim, and makes a case for caviar as an ingredient with a Southern pedigree. Every mature female fish makes roe—that's the term for their clusters of unfertilized eggs. But caviar, for purists, comes from an ancient fish called sturgeon. There are more than two dozen species of sturgeon, but the best-known caviars come from a handful of species native to Russia and Central Asia: Beluga, Sevruga, Kaluga and Osetra. These fish are diadromous, which means they can live in both rivers and seas. And historically they were caught in the wild, their roe processed into caviar, and eventually sent around the world. Though fish roe started out as poor people's food in Russia, it evolved to be synonymous with luxury, royalty. However, sturgeon were so overfished that it is now illegal in most places to import their wild-harvested caviar. In the U.S., too, several species of sturgeon were once dense along the eastern coast, in the Great Lakes, in California, and elsewhere. Indigenous tribes and white settlers alike consumed Atlantic sturgeon before a caviar rush in the 1800s diminished their numbers. It's illegal to fish for most domestic sturgeon. Today, more than 99 percent of caviar globally comes from farms, mostly in China. There are a few exceptions to this rule in the U.S. Small shovelnose sturgeon can still be harvested in some areas for caviar. And paddlefish—which is not a sturgeon, but its close cousin—is fair game in some states, too. The fish live in the Mississippi River and its tributaries. While the U.S. has an available supply of wild-caught, high-quality caviar, it lacks a clear cultural context for how to enjoy this decadent treat. In this episode, Zhorov speaks to Mike Kelley of Kelley's Katch, a Tennessee caviar producer, and biologist Steve Rider, who studies paddlefish populations in Alabama, to learn about a food that's from the South but, paradoxically, not at all associated with Southern cuisine. Some people and companies are trying to educate American consumers about caviar and to modernize the way domestic consumers eat the food. That can include parties with caviar tutorials and introducing new, American ways to indulge, like with a dollop of caviar on Doritos. Christine Lemieux, one-half of the company Caviar Dream, explains how this delicacy can be for everyone. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Jim Gulledge, author of the book Green Forest, Red Eath, Blue Sea. Jim Gulledge is the author of A Poor Man's Supper. The novella was selected for inclusion in the North Carolina Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill and the W.L. Eury Appalachian Collection at Appalachian State University. Over the course of his academic training, Dr. Gulledge earned an A.B. degree in Christian education from Pfeiffer University, an M.A. in English from Clemson University and a DMin in theological studies from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. His career highlights included participation in the Adult Development Institute at Harvard University, the Fulbright German Administrators Exchange Program and the C.S Lewis Summer Residence program in Oxford, England. A life-long resident of the Carolinas, Jim and his wife, Linda, enjoy visiting with their four children and son-in-law and daily life with their miniature schnauzer, Luka. In my book review, I stated Green Forest, Red Earth, Blue Sea is a beautiful Southern fiction set of short stories. I fell instantly in love with these stories that take place in the state I call home - North Carolina. Each of the three stories takes place in a different part of the state and follow three connected families. The stories, though they take place during different times and in different places, stay connected through a family heirloom. Unlike most books I enjoy this one has many varied characters, so there isn't one character to fall in love with. Instead, readers fall in love with place. And Jim did an excellent job helping readers come to love North Carolina, from the green hills of the mountains to the red clay of the piedmont to the sandy shores of the ocean. I also enjoyed discovering how each family connected with one another and how they managed to cover the state in a few generations. We start in the mountains as trains bring change - meeting two young lovers whose time together is fleeting. Next, we find ourselves saving peaches from a deadly spring freeze. Can this couple eek out a living in the clay? The last story asks us to cheer for an orphan boy and the chance to find buried treasure against the backdrop of a tropical storm. And finally, catch a quick glimpse of a story yet to be told when a boy from the beach glimpses a girl from the mountains - and we feel that it will all start again. Jim tells a delightful series of stories, and you won't want to miss this book. It would make a great gift for any NC native!

It's February of 1980, and Dale Earnhardt is hungry to return to victory lane. The Osterlund-2 car hasn't brought home a win since David Pearson filled in for Dale at the Southern 500 the previous year. Plus, with a new contract and sponsorship comes expectations, so needless to say, he's eager to hold up his end of the bargain. Thankfully, he won't have to wait long, as he overcomes adversity at Atlanta for his first speedway win and follows it up with a repeat at Bristol. He quickly goes from a potential flash-in-the-pan, one-time winner to etching his name into the NASCAR history books.But racing is a humbling sport, and his jubilation won't last long. More engine problems and a lack of speed would relegate him back to the middle of the pack, and that pressure to perform would build up again. Unfortunately, this time, the pressure pushes Dale to make a blunderous mistake on the opening lap of the spring Martinsville event, and he has a run-in with a fella you never want to cross: King Richard Petty.FanDuel: Must be 21+ and present in select states (for Kansas, in affiliation with Kansas Star Casino) or 18+ and present in D.C.

Today we're delving into the archives and revisiting Don and Michael Kauffman's conversation on the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln...On the evening of 14th April, 1865, the Union was celebrating victory in the civil war, won 5 days earlier with General Lee's surrender at Appomattox. President Abraham Lincoln was watching a play at Ford's Theatre in Washington DC. But some Southern sympathisers still thought the Confederacy could be restored. Among them was the actor John Wilkes Booth. He entered the theatre, made his way to Lincoln's box and carried out the first assassination of a US president. Michael Kauffman takes Don through the conspiracy to murder Lincoln and the act itself, after which Booth fled on horseback, into the night.Produced by Benjie Guy. Mixed by Aidan Lonergan.

Send us a textA birthday hangout turns into a full-on variety show: we kick off with shots and shout-outs, then sprint straight into the Labubu craze and the wild trend of tattooing the toy itself. The hype machine gets a reality check as we break down why collectibles blow up—celebrity co-signs, K-pop adjacency, mystery variants, and the thrill of not knowing what you'll get. From there, we tumble into pop-chart surprises (Baby Shark supremacy, Despacito endurance) and ask why certain songs conquer the world with choreography, repetition, and rhythm that cut across languages.Food heads get fed with hibachi talk, Kiran light, and an unexpected case for Crown Royal chocolate—plus the difference between a “vibe” dinner and a clutch takeout. Then comes a fiery Southern culture segment: Alabama and Mississippi pride meets Texas side-eye, MLK Day politics in Arizona's past, and the way stereotypes stick until someone tells the fuller story. Sports heads get their fix too, with NFL loyalties tested, fantasy heartbreak relived, and the kind of friendly slander that keeps group chats alive.Midway, we open the door on something more intimate: the difference between love and lust, how confidence changes chemistry, and the petty things people do post-breakup (or refuse to). It's raw, funny, and more honest than anyone planned. We pivot to strength and training with BYL shoutouts, celebrating women who lift heavy and giving beginners a nudge to start where they are. And because it's that season, the table explodes over holiday movies: Elf vs Die Hard, Home Alone nostalgia, Friday After Next as an all-timer, and the perennial “does it count as Christmas if it only happens at Christmas?” loophole.Pull up a chair, pour something good, and argue with us in your head.

I was delighted to see one of my favourite groups and hip-hop icons, OutKast, get inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame recently. I have been a huge fan of this visionary duo, since their debut album and loved everything that they have released. OutKast kicked open the door for Southern hip-hop, when the focus was primarily on the East and West coasts. Through their unique storytelling and their ability to blend genres and push boundaries, they let the world know that "The South got somethin' to say".

POPULIST THREATS FROM THE SOUTH: HUEY LONG AND THE TALMADGES Colleague David Pietrusza. Roosevelt faced significant challenges from Southern populists who threatened to split his support in the solid South. The most dangerous was Huey Long of Louisiana, whose left-wing "Share Our Wealth" program promised massive redistribution of assets. Long planned to siphon votes in 1936 to ensure a Republican victory, hoping to win the presidency himself in 1940, but his assassination in 1935 removed this threat. Meanwhile, Georgia's Eugene Talmadge, a conservative populist who engaged in race-baiting and opposed welfare, rallied radical elements and Confederatesympathizers against the New Deal, complicating Roosevelt's strategy. NUMBER 2
ELECTION NIGHT LANDSLIDE AND POLITICAL REALIGNMENT Colleague David Pietrusza. On election night, early returns from Connecticut signaled a massive victory for Roosevelt, contradicting the predictions of the Literary Digest straw poll. Roosevelt won a historic landslide, capturing 46 states and sweeping huge Democraticmajorities into Congress. This victory marked a permanent political realignment, as the children of immigrants in major cities overwhelmingly voted for Roosevelt. While Landon's campaign was decimated, the election solidified the Democratic Party's shift from a Southern-dominated organization to a national coalition powered by urban centers and the working class, cementing the triumph of the liberal ideal. NUMBER 8
The girls are back in their no-guest, unhinged era — just Lex P and Drea Nicole on the couch, letting the conversation fly. They kick things off debating movies that get straight to the point, then spiral into lash blindness, beauty breaks, and New York energy. Lex shares her first Starlets experience, the differences between Southern and NYC strip club culture, and asks the real question: where were the brown girls? The convo takes a wild turn into aggressive honking, Uber chaos, big dogs in small apartments, pet hygiene, and why everybody doesn’t need a Great Dane in a one-bedroom. From there, things get messy with funky breath debates, veneers done right vs. shortcut veneers, and brushing your tongue (yes, it matters). They close things out talking growth, reinvention, and evolution — how Pour Minds has changed, why growth isn’t “switching up,” and what it really means to show up as your most authentic self. Funny, honest, and very Pour Minds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today is the December solstice – the start of winter in the northern hemisphere. It’s the darkest time of the year – many hours of darkness for watching the stars. But it’s also a great time for space science in Antarctica, where it’s daylight around the clock. NASA launches high-altitude balloons from a base near McMurdo Station, the continent’s largest settlement. Their payloads can keep an eye on the heavens for weeks as they circle around the south pole. When their work is done, they parachute to the ice. Scientists from the United States, Japan, and other countries hunt for meteorites in Antarctica. There aren’t more meteorites there, but on the ice, there’s a good chance that almost any rock came from beyond Earth. Over the decades, tens of thousands of meteorites have been found there. Astronomers take advantage of the daylight to repair and upgrade telescopes at the south pole. The collection includes instruments that study the “afterglow” of the Big Bang. The instruments can operate even in daylight, but the southern summer is the only time to do most of the maintenance work. The south pole also is home to IceCube – a collection of thousands of light detectors frozen in the ice. They look for neutrinos – particles that tell us about some of the most energetic events in the universe. IceCube can also operate all year – even under the midnight sun at the south pole.

*(Note Part One of this episode)New Moon Lunar Cycle Themes: Expansion, Exploration, New Perspective through Wisdom, Spiritual Renewal. The conjunction of the Sun and Moon, “Dark Moon” part of the lunar cycle is powerful and focused as a portal toward immense changes on both a personal and collective level in 2026 This lunar cycle is especially impactful and meaningful because it is coupled with the winter Solstice in the Northern hemisphere, and the summer Solstice in the Southern hemisphere. The solstice energy is a messenger of truth, clarity and inner wisdom. It places tremendous emphasis on relinquishing the past, while trusting in the possibilities of the future which are yet unseen and unknown. This Moon offers both inner focus, and the opportunity to experience worldly experiences through connection to Cosmic Source. Guidance through trusting intuitive insights, from the well of personal inspiration, is the key for moving toward greater and higher vibrational consciousness.During this lunar cycle, the awareness of growth, expansion, plenty, and abundance are under major consideration. Even as we look out and observe the erroneous beliefs and falsehoods into the collective society, it's absolutely critical to dream one's own big dreams. The sign of Sagittarius is about believing in your own inner awareness and wisdom that connects with authentic understanding which supports dignity, respect, freedom and sovereignty for every person.This New Moon and Solstice connections are placing emphasis on listening to yourself. It is time to forge a personal path that does not rely on asking someone else what you “should” or need to do. The New Moon offers opportunity to gather awareness of new intentions, while the solstice's "return to light" energy is a gateway for deeper self-realization. Four Key Questions for 2026 DirectionWhat is your "Philosophy of Life"?How will you embrace your values and inspiration through intuitive awareness?How will you seek new meaning for yourself, as you envision experiences and possibilities that await you in the coming months?Are you willing to be the "Truth-teller", to be honest and open to the "Wisdom within yourself"?*Please enjoy Part Two of this episode: "Sound Alchemy" with Kathy H.

There are old homes… and then there are family homes—places layered with generations of memories, loss, and the kind of history that doesn't always stay quiet. For her, moving into her boyfriend's ancestral Southern home should've been comforting. Five generations of the same family had lived—and died—under that roof. The land was old. The walls were older. But from the moment she stepped inside, something felt wrong. Not aggressive. Not dramatic. Just… watchful. As if the house itself had eyes. But one night, while settling in for a movie upstairs, something stepped across the hallway—something wearing a very specific piece of clothing that she knew she had never seen before. And that was only the beginning. Are these echoes of a family that never truly left? Residual memory? Or something far more personal—spirits tied to bloodline, land, and legacy? Whatever the truth is… this house is anything but empty. #ghoststory #paranormal #hauntedhouse #realghoststoriesonline #ghostsightings #southernhauntings #apparition #hauntedfamilyhome #trueghoststory #residualenergy #hauntedhistory #spiritactivity Love real ghost stories?

Why Dec. 25? Why so much Christmas conflict & controversy in Christianity's history? Why is Christmas so important to Christianity? And to America? In this episode, I ask my guest, Dr. Carey Roberts, the following questions: ►Why is Christmas such a grand celebration? What does this tell us about Christianity? ►Did it take a while for Christmas to take a central role in Christianity►What's the difference between recognition and celebration of Christmas►Did Christmas piggyback on existing Roman pagan traditions? ►How did Christmas enter America's culture? If not the Puritans, then which immigrant group introduced Christmas to America? ►Were there any regional differences in the celebration of Christmas?►When did U.S. businesses begin to capitalize on Christmas? ►Would President Grant have witnessed a similar Christmas celebration in Boston and Savannah? ►Would George Washington recognize our Christmas? How about Andrew Jackson? Abraham Lincoln? Teddy Roosevelt? ►What happened to Christmas after WWII? ►Is it a bad thing that non-Christians and/or non-practicing Christians celebrate Christmas?
Dom and guest host Rachel Entrekin kick off the holidays by sorting ultra runners into naughty and nice — because taking your family to an exotic location is great, but not mentioning you're racing and they're crewing is a different vibe entirely. They also run through the gifts no trail runner wants to unwrap, from anti-chafe sticks laced with capsaicin to a lovingly framed photo of you mid-bonk. Then it's time for Lucy Bartholomew, Australian ultrarunning star and the fastest person to complete both the Ironman World Championships and UTMB in a single season. Lucy explains why Aussie Santa wears budgie smugglers, ranks Australian insults from "goose" to "muppet," and reveals that telling ultra runners you kind of like triathlon is harder than telling triathletes that 100-milers are actually worse. The episode wraps with an international slang showdown where Lucy decodes Southern phrases like "cattywampus" while Dom and Rachel butcher "hard yakka." Merry Christmas, you flaming galahs.

In this throwback episode, we sit down with our buddies Nick Harris & Scott Seales, who are some seasoned public-land killers, to break down how they consistently find and kill mature bucks during the Southern rut. From hunting pressure and late-morning movement to off-winds, ugly terrain, and long-range gun setups, this conversation is packed with hard-earned lessons that only come from decades in the woods. If you gun hunt the rut in the Deep South—especially on pressured public land—this episode is a masterclass in how it really gets done. Got a question for the show?

They also delve into the history of southern secessionism, the dysfunction of the Presidential Leadership Council, and how Emirati-backed forces have consolidated control over much of former South Yemen.

When Brian left Wisconsin to stay with a friend in Hendersonville, Tennessee, he expected a few months of easy living, guitar playing, and laid-back Southern days. What he didn't expect was to be drawn into a haunting that had quietly followed the family for years. Strange footsteps. Children whispering to someone who wasn't there. And a little girl—half-seen, half-vanished—peeking over the back of a recliner before sprinting into a hallway and disappearing into thin air. Brian always believed in logic, in science, in things that could be explained. But one suffocating Tennessee afternoon, while sitting alone on the back porch, something tapped him on the shoulder. Not a breeze. Not a leaf. A distinct, deliberate tap. The kind only a living person—or something mimicking one—should be able to give. What followed shattered every assumption Brian had about the house, his friend's stories, and the benign entity the family believed watched over them. Was it playful? Curious? Or something else entirely? #ghoststory #paranormal #hauntedhouse #realghoststories #Hendersonville #truehaunting #ghostchild #supernatural #poltergeist #creepyencounter #RGSO #ghostencounter Love real ghost stories?
