Pontiac's War: Fire on the Frontier, Peace in the ShadowsIn 1763, as British flags replaced French ones across the Great Lakes, the First Peoples of Michigan faced a new empire—one that dismissed their diplomacy, severed their trade, and threatened their way of life. Led by Odawa war chief Pontiac and inspired by the spiritual teachings of Neolin, tribes from across the region united in a massive resistance campaign.This episode traces the dramatic siege of Fort Detroit, the harrowing use of smallpox at Fort Pitt, and the chilling aftermath of Pontiac's assassination, including the haunting legend of Starved Rock. From war councils beneath the pines to vengeance on the banks of the Mississippi, Pontiac's War was not just a rebellion—it was a defense of land, life, and sovereignty. And its echoes still shape the memory of the Great Lakes today. Tune in as End of the Road in Michigan brings this powerful story to life through dramatic narrative and historic insight.

September 5, 2023The Funny Thing About YogaThis Wasn't in the Job DescriptionEpisode No. 31In today's episode, “This wasn't in the Job Description,” Giana and Bradshaw talk about many of the atypical situations they have encountered in their collective 19 years of teaching experience. From medical emergencies and dealing with intruders, to conflict management and everything in between, the hosts get very candid about many different situations that have challenged them to think quickly and improvise all while caring for and safeguarding their students. This isn't an episode of just jokes and laughs, though some of the absurdity can be seen as comical, It is an episode that gets deeply personal and reflects how both of them have responded to stimuli and sometimes stressful circumstances while on the job. These stories are shared with the intention of shedding light on the many different hats yoga teachers are sometimes asked to wear in hopes that their learning moments provide lessons or comfort to other teachers who have been in similar situations. With each of these stories shared came an opportunity for growth and we're honored to be growing along with all of you.

In March of 1960, Frances Murphy, Lillian Oetting and Mildred Lindquist set off for a girls' trip at Starved Rock State Park in LaSalle County, Illinois.  Just days later, the three women were found in a cave bludgeoned to death with their wrists bound.  After months of investigation and a signed confession, Chester Weger was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of the three women.  After 60 years in prison, Weger still maintains his innocence and is fighting to clear his name.

On March 14, 1960, the bodies of three women from the Chicago suburbs were discovered in St. Louis Canyon, one of the many natural wonders at Starved Rock State Park, near Utica, Illinois. The crime shocked northern Illinois and led to a manhunt that snared a confessed killer who spent the next 59 years behind bars. It is one of the most shocking stories to ever occur in this otherwise peaceful region – and it left lingering spirits behind.Get 20% OFF Manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code AHP at MANSCAPED.com! #ad #manscapedpodSponsored by BetterHelp.

They arrived from the Chicago suburb of Riverside, about 90 miles northeast of the park. On March 14, after checking into the Starved Rock Lodge, the three took an afternoon hike through St. Louis Canyon, but never returned. Their disappearances went unnoticed until March 16 when the husband of Frances Murphy phoned the lodge to inquire about his wife. Police organized a search of the park which led to the discovery of the women's bodies, bound with twine and partially disrobed, inside a cave in the canyon. All three suffered severe head trauma and a blood stained tree limb found nearby was determined to have been used to bludgeon them to death.
