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?

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?

Audio Director Chris Fox and Composer Olivier Derivière sit down with guest host Alistair Hirst to explore the immersive sound of “South of Midnight,” the groundbreaking action-adventure game from Compulsion Games. Set in the American Deep South, the score skillfully weaves together traditional Southern-style music and folk songs with a dark, otherworldly essence as the player faces the eerie creatures of Southern legend. In this conversation, Fox and Derivière break down how sound design, music, and a fully realized Dolby Atmos® mix work together to pull players deep into the game's mythic world.“It really comes back to the idea that the entities — the magic entities — we wanted to make them a character. So the kids, the kid choir that Olivier put together and recorded down in Nashville, are the stars of the show, because they really are everywhere. A lot of what you hear — there are two different samples, actually. One is the agitated samples when you get close to an object or station, and the other is the vowels we were talking about… When you do your magic, they're in tune with the backing, the non-diegetic music that's playing at the time… We also played with that in combat. When things get agitated all around you, that's not just in the front — it's surrounding you. So there's a lot of use of space to complement the score.”—Chris Fox, Audio Director, “South of Midnight”Be sure to check out "South of Midnight," available now in Dolby Atmos, on supported systems.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

Jim and Todd welcome Pete Barger, co-founder of Southern Distilling Company, to the show for a deep dive into the history and revival of Statesville, North Carolina—once known as the "Liquor Capital of the World". As one of the nation's largest privately owned distilleries, Southern Distilling balances a massive contract distilling operation with their own award-winning Southern Star brand, all while championing a "grain-to-glass" philosophy that supports over 5,000 acres of local farmland. The tasting kicks off with the Southern Star Bottled-in-Bond Straight Rye Whiskey. Crafted with a unique mash bill featuring 51% Abruzzi rye, this expression leans floral and approachable rather than aggressively spicy, offering notes of buttery rye muffin, honeyed tea, and a touch of ginger. Next, the group samples the limited-edition Southern Star Bourbon Finished in Honey Barrels. Sourced from a single barrel exchange with a local apiary, this cask-strength bourbon delivers a rich, creamy profile packed with butterscotch and toasted Werther's Original notes, balancing the natural sweetness of wildflower honey with bold bourbon character. Finally, Pete showcases their innovation with the Southern Star American Single Malt. Unlike many pot-still single malts, this 114.8-proof expression is produced on a continuous column still, resulting in a distinctively American profile bursting with "fruit cup" flavors—greenish banana, juicy fruit, and poached pear—layered over a robust grain-forward base. Throughout the episode, Pete shares fascinating insights into the "science and geometry" of their palletized warehousing, the advantages of continuous distillation for malt, and the distillery's commitment to reviving heritage grains like Abruzzi rye. Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!

Doesn't escaping into the hills to do nothing but write music with your friends sound like the ultimate dream? By the mid-60s, this was a reality for Black Oak Arkansas, a Southern rock band that refined their sound and mastered their instruments while living off the land. Led by charismatic frontman Jim “Dandy” Mangrum, they built a reputation for their wildly entertaining live shows. By early 1974, it was a cover of a 1957 LaVern Baker song that brought the band to the mainstream. The single, appropriately titled “Jim Dandy,” is a great needle drop in a Dazed and Confused chase scene, but does the song (or any of the other music from their impressively large back catalog) hold up? This week, we're joined by special guest Josh Ireson to decide if Jim Dandy still comes to the rescue or if it's just a relic of a weird and psychedelic time.

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?

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/855B Duane Hada joins Chad Johnson for a thoughtful conversation on what actually creates trophy trout fisheries—and why stocking alone isn't the answer. Duane breaks down the importance of catch-and-release regulations, managing pressure, and letting fish live long enough to reach their full potential. Drawing from rivers like the White River and the San Juan, he explains how conservation-first thinking shapes not only fish size, but the long-term health of entire fisheries. Beyond fishing, Duane opens up about his life as an artist and how creativity, patience, and observation carry over from the studio to the river. He talks about seeing fisheries as living "gardens," the influence of Dave Whitlock on both his conservation mindset and artistic outlook, and why mentorship—on the water and off—matters just as much as catching fish. This episode is about legacy, restraint, and approaching both art and angling with intention. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/855B

There's a mystery afoot on today's episode of Script Apart – and that mystery is how you write a film like Wake Up Dead Man, the new Knives Out movie from my guest today, Rian Johnson. How do you craft a whodunit that's simultaneously gripping, hilarious and loaded with weighty reflections on religion's use as a weapon of fear in our current political climate? In the words of Benoit Blanc, it “makes no damn sense” to me, “Compels me, though.”Which is why it was such a treat to ask the man himself. Rian's a filmmaker who you might know from 2005 high school noir Brick, 2008's The Brothers Bloom or the fantastic 2012 sci-fi Looper. He directed one of the best episodes of TV this side of the millennium in the form of Breaking Bad's ‘Fly' episode, and created the brilliant Poker Face, starring Natasha Lyonne. In 2019, he wrote and directed Knives Out, starring Daniel Craig as a Southern-accented sleuth, which was a huge sensation. A sequel followed in 2022, as part of a major deal with Netflix. And somewhere amid all that, he made a low-budget indie that probably completely passed under your radar because it was barely discussed upon release. Let me just check my notes here… Star Wars: The Last Jedi? Never heard of it personally.Wake Up Dead Man is maybe his most personal and politically-charged film yet, though, as you'll hear in this conversation. Rian's relationship with religion is… well, it's complicated. In this spoiler conversation, he tells me about his lapsed faith and story of growing up in the Church… before leaving it. It's a story that totally altered my perspective on The Last Jedi – a movie about lapsed faith – and shone a fascinating light on this latest adventure in the life of Benoit Blanc. We get into the overlap between the “cult of personality” church figurehead, Wicks, in Wake Up Dead Man and the politicians in our newspaper headlines each morning right now – many of whom position themselves of Christians and preach messages of fear; them against us. And Rian also tells me what the future perhaps looks like for him, twenty years on from Brick – the next steps in his storytelling to come.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Cracker Barrel's post-logo-change sales slump, Sweetgreen's introduction of a $10 value bowl, and restaurant trend expectations for the year ahead. First up is Cracker Barrel, which continues to reel after its rebrand and logo change from earlier in the year. Sam and Alicia discuss the latest earnings from Cracker Barrel, which included a sharp decline in traffic and sales. How might Cracker Barrel return to growth? And what can other restaurant chains learn from this whole ordeal? Next up is Sweetgreen, which is also suffering from traffic and sales declines and just announced a new $10 Harvest Bowl LTO — the fast-casual salad chain's first value offer. Sam and Alicia talk about the implications for Sweetgreen and the broader fast-casual category, which has lost momentum in 2025 as consumer behaviors shift. Then they tackle 2026 trends, and particularly a report from Yum! Brands that outlined how the restaurant company expects younger consumers to dine in the year ahead. Sam and Alicia analyze the data and offer their own expectations for what 2026 might hold for restaurants. Finally, senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn sits down with McAlister's Deli president and chief brand officer Danielle Porto Parra and GoTo Foods corporate executive chef Brock Peek to discuss big changes to the McAlister's menu.

San Jose is home to the largest Sikh temple – or gurdwara – in the U.S., and for decades, it has been a place of sanctuary and refuge. But lately, another feeling has settled in for worshippers: fear.ICE enforcement has ramped up over the past year, with some of the sharpest increases in California. And Sikhs, many who are from the Indian state of Punjab, worry their sacred spaces could become targets. South Asians aren't always the first group that comes to mind when we talk about undocumented communities. But according to U.S. Customs and Border Enforcement, 35,000 people from India were apprehended at the border this year.  Journalist Tanay Gokhale has been out reporting in the South Asian community, and joins host Sasha Khokha to talk about what he's been hearing from Sikh worshippers at gurdwaras and those who've been detained by ICE.  And we visit CJ's BBQ and Fish in Richmond. Owner Charles Evans calls himself a "World War II baby." He was born in Richmond to parents who moved to the Bay Area from Arkansas, part of a migration of African Americans west to work in the shipyards. His dad created BBQ pits out of washing machines and refrigerators in their backyard. His mom insisted all of her kids learn to cook, clean, and sew. After driving AC Transit buses for many years, Charles opened CJ's BBQ and Fish 30 years ago, putting his own born-in-California spin on the barbeque and soul food recipes his parents taught him. For her series California Foodways, Lisa Morehouse discovered CJ's is not just a celebration of Richmond's Black history and Southern roots, but also a place of refuge and delicious comfort for everybody.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has spent the last few days quietly expanding her empire and, in classic Dolly fashion, turning a niche idea into a potentially defining late career chapter. According to recent coverage from AOL and RV Travel, her most concrete new move is into the **truck stop and travel center business**, with Dollys Tennessean Travel Stops set to roll out beginning with a flagship location in Cornersville, Tennessee, and more sites to follow in 2026. These reports describe a full reimagining of interstate travel with Southern hospitality, curated food, and heavy Dolly branding, and that has real long term biographical weight: it extends her from music, film, books, theme parks, and philanthropy into a new bricks and mortar national footprint likely to outlive her touring days.Entertainment wise, Dolly herself is not on the road, but her name is everywhere on marquees. Ticketmaster and regional theater listings show robust holiday bookings for Dolly Partons Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol, with performances scheduled in markets like Rockford, Illinois, Davenport, Iowa, and as part of the 2025 to 2026 Broadway style seasons at venues including The Carson Center and Ruth Eckerd Hall. While she does not appear in person, these productions reinforce her status as a songwriter and storyteller whose catalog has jumped fully into theatrical canon.At the same time, the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville is anchoring her legacy with the exhibit Dolly Parton Journey of a Seeker, which fans have been buzzing about on social media as a must see, long form portrait of her life and spirituality. This institutional framing adds archival, museum grade weight to her public story.On the gossip front, Saving Country Music recently dissected an alleged Dolly comment on the social platform Threads that briefly fueled talk of a backlash. The outlet reports the post was false and emphasizes there is no serious cancellation effort, underscoring again how resistant her public image is to manufactured outrage. Social chatter over the last few days has mostly revolved around these travel stop headlines, holiday stage shows using her music, and evergreen clips and quotes, with no verified scandals and plenty of admiration.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Welcome to Episode 81 - Texas Economy in the 1850s, Cotton, Tariffs, and Boomtowns. Today's show is a little shorter than most. I was really afraid I'd start to get political and lose my focus. TBH, I'm tremendously opposed to tariffs, especially when they affect agriculture and working folks. Anyway....Here's a partial transcript Today, we're traveling back to the 1850s—a decade of cotton, cattle, and booming ports, but also one of economic tension and national panic. Imagine standing on the docks of Galveston in 1855. Sailors unload heavy bales of cotton destined for England, while merchants hustle to get imported tools, fine fabrics, and wine onto wagons bound for Houston and beyond. This bustling port was Texas's economic lifeline, connecting rural plantations to global markets. Cotton was king in East Texas, and thanks to low federal tariffs, planters could buy imported goods without breaking the bank. Meanwhile, settlers and ranchers across the state were doing the same, relying on affordable tools and supplies to carve out farms on the frontier. During this decade, the United States had some of the lowest tariffs in its history. The Walker Tariff of 1846 and the Tariff of 1857 brought import taxes down to roughly 17–25%, depending on the product. For Texas, that meant cheap imports and profitable exports. Unlike the industrial North, which wanted protective tariffs to shield factories from British competition, Texans had little industry to protect. Low tariffs suited the state's agricultural economy perfectly. But 1857 also brought the Panic of 1857, a nationwide financial crisis. In New York and Philadelphia, banks failed, factories closed, and workers were laid off by the thousands. Across the Midwest, farmers watched wheat prices collapse. Now, here's the fascinating part: Texas largely escaped the worst of it. Cotton prices stayed steady, and the state's rural economy—while affected by some credit shortages—remained stable. Newspapers at the time proudly reported that Texas's soil and cotton shielded its citizens from Northern calamities, reinforcing the belief that the Southern economic system was stronger than the North's industrial model.

This episode on Before You Cut Bangs, we're talking about something that should be simple… but somehow feels like advanced emotional calculus:Receiving gifts, compliments, help, and kindness. Maybe a casserole you didn't ask for. Perhaps a gorgeous candle from a friend when you... you guessed it... got them nothing.Why is it SO HARD to say thank you without immediately blurting out, “Oh, this old thing? I've had it for 12 years,” or “Girl, it was $5 at Target,” or the classic Southern special: “You didn't have to do that!” (Spoiler: They wanted to.)Claire walks us through her brilliant “garland” practice—yes, garland, like the Christmas kind—and why we need to throw away the emotional tinsel that keeps us from letting good things in.Laura gets vulnerable about walking through a season of capacity and emotional poverty and how hard it was to learn how to receive from her friends. We cover:Why women self-deprecate the minute anyone says something niceWhy receiving feels like guilt, debt, or competitionWhy you panic when someone brings you a gift and you have nothing for themHow receiving is actually a spiritual practiceWhy receiving is the gateway to giving (and to healing)How to stop making it weird and just say… THANK YOU.Listen now and share with the friend who says “I don't need anything…” while absolutely needing everything.

In this episode of Sirens, I'm joined by Rachel Corbett, journalist, academic, and author of The Monsters We Make, for a deeply thoughtful conversation about crime, memory, and the stories we tell ourselves about evil.Rachel shares how her own childhood experiences—and the moments that shaped her understanding of violence and fear—ultimately led her down the path of researching crime, criminal behavior, and the FBI's approach to criminal profiling. What began as personal curiosity evolved into years of research that challenge some of the most widely accepted assumptions in true crime.We talk in depth about The Monsters We Make, including what inspired the book, how personal history intersects with academic inquiry, and why criminal profiling may not be the reliable investigative tool pop culture has led us to believe. Rachel breaks down how profiling gained its reputation, where it has fallen short, and why its perceived success often looks very different when examined closely.This episode explores the tension between storytelling and science—and asks hard questions about how myths are created, repeated, and cemented in both law enforcement and media.Find more about Rachel at https://www.rachel-corbett.com/.Mentioned in this episode:Allegedly: POCOGet Allegedly: True Crime From Pontotoc County, OK today.

Rural populations are shrinking. In 11 of the 29 OECD countries included in the OECD Reinforcing Rural Resilience report (https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/reinforcing-rural-resilience_7cd485e3-en.html), rural populations are declining, not only as percentage of national populations but also in absolute numbers. Rural regions close to cities are also exposed to this trend, particularly if their populations tend more easily to move to urban areas. Despite not being an OECD Member country, Kazakhstan is experiencing similar trends. During the Soviet Union, its urban population was 53% but today that percentage has increased to 63%. Now only 37% of its population is living in rural areas, with only 5% of its GDP coming from the agricultural sector. Discussing all things decentralisation, digitalisation and democracy in Kazakhstan, Shayne MacLachlan from the OECD has a conversation with Zhanerke Kochiigit. This conversation took place at the 2025 OECD Latin American Rural Development Conference, Rural-Urban Connections: Pathways to Sustainable Development (https://www.oecd.org/en/events/2025/11/oecd-latin-american-rural-development-conference.html) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Have a listen. Zhanerke Kochiigit is a researcher in Nazarbayev University, located in Astana, Kazakhstan. She works in the Graduate School of Public Policy and is dedicated to studying rural development in northern regions of Kazakhstan, where there is very low population density. Her recent papers include: "Analysis of Migration Processes and Recommendations on Regulation of Internal Migration from Southern to Northern Regions of Kazakhstan" https://www.researchgate.net/publication/345845312_Analysis_of_Migration_Processes_and_Recommendations_on_Regulation_of_Internal_Migration_from_Southern_to_Northern_Regions_of_Kazakhstan?_tp=eyJjb250ZXh0Ijp7ImZpcnN0UGFnZSI6InByb2ZpbGUiLCJwYWdlIjoicHJvZmlsZSJ9fQ and " Actual aspects of population migration from labor surplus to the labor-deficit regions of Kazakhstan and state regulation of migration processes" https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328552379_Actual_aspects_of_population_migration_from_labor_surplus_to_the_labor-deficit_regions_of_Kazakhstan_and_state_regulation_of_migration_processes.

Fragmentation in Yemen: The Southern Transitional Council Advances: Colleagues Bridget Tumi and Bill Roggio report that the civil war in Yemen is fracturing further as the Southern Transitional Council, which advocates for southern secession, advances into eastern governorates to secure territory and combat smuggling; this move has heightened tensions within the anti-Houthi coalition, as the STC is backed by the UAE while other government factions are supported by Saudi Arabia, weakening the collective effort against the Houthis who control thYEMEN800 e capital Sanaa and maintain ambitions to conquer the entire country. 1800 YEMEN

The Druze National Guard and Internal Strife in Southern Syria: Colleagues Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio report that instability is growing in Syria's Druze-majority Suwayda province, where a newly formed "National Guard" militia has begun arresting and killing political opponents; the militia is spiritually guided by Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, who has consolidated power by sidelining other Druze leaders who were open to reconciliation with the Assad regime, with Turkey expressing support for the anti-Assad Druze factions against both the Syrian government and Kurdish forces, while recent violence suggests a hardening of anti-regime sentiment. 1914 SYRIA

 The Arduous Southern Tour and Charleston's Splendor — Nathaniel Philbrick — In 1791, Washington undertook a grueling three-month, 2,000-mile tour of the American South over "impassable" roads designed to unite the fragmented southern states with the federal government. This journey into "terra incognita" required construction of a custom carriage and immense logistical coordination involving supplies, security, and official ceremonies. In Charleston, Washingtonwas welcomed with extraordinary luxury built entirely upon the institution of slavery and enslaved labor. Philbrickinterweaves his personal research methodology, describing the role of librarians in historical investigation, and recounts climbing the spire of St. Michael's Church. Standing 186 feet in the air where Washington historically stood created a "historical vortex," dramatically bridging the temporal gap between the eighteenth century and contemporary historical consciousness. 1755

Echoes of Civil War and Hidden Histories in the South — Nathaniel Philbrick — Retracing Washington's Southernroute reveals prophetic historical connections to the future American Civil War, as many mansions and estates Washington visited were subsequently destroyed during General Sherman's March through the South. Philbrickdocuments Washington's diplomatically fraught and contradictory interactions with the Catawba Indians, wherein Washington assured them of federal protection while simultaneously waging military campaigns against tribes in Ohio, exposing the fundamental dishonesty of federal Indian policy. Philbrick explores Old Salem, where the Moraviansearch for religious freedom coexisted with a hidden, systematically suppressed history of slavery within Moraviancommunities. Philbrick emphasizes the tangible endurance of history, describing the discovery of physical remnants—bricks, chains, abandoned ferry sites—that materially connect contemporary observers to Washington's eighteenth-century journey. 1889
