Podcasts about stories

From Norse frost giants to the Bible's Goliath, tales of giants have haunted humanity for centuries — but in 2002, US soldiers in Afghanistan claim they encountered a 12-foot, six-fingered, blade-wielding giant that killed one of their own before they brought it down.IN THIS EPISODE: Did U.S. Special Forces really shoot dead a 12-foot-tall giant in Kandahar, Afghanistan? How much truth is behind the story – and how does fit into the age-old narrative of soldiers, knights, and heroes battling against and vanquishing giants and monstrous creatures? (The Giant of Kandahar) *** Soon after the Cranmer family moved in to their new home on Brownsville Road, it became clear that they were not alone. (The Demon of Brownsville Road) *** The Elephant's Foot was created after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 when reactor 4 exploded, releasing a lava-like mass of radioactive material called corium. So radioactive that it's still dangerous if you try and see it for yourself today. (The Elephant's Foot of Chernobyl) *** When something horrifying happens, it's natural to tell others about your experience. But what if, no matter how much you explain it, people simply don't believe you? We'll look at numerous stories from people who have true tales that they have a hard time getting even friends and family to take seriously. (Nobody Believes Me) *** When a great famine struck Europe in 1314, mothers abandoned their children and in some cases, even ate them. Scholars believe that these tragedies gave birth to the story of Hansel and Gretel. (The Grim True Story Behind Hansel and Gretel) *** Cultures all around the world have stories of tiny humans – elves, leprechauns, fairies, hobbits… but how can so many different communities have such similar descriptions of tiny people? Could there be evidence to prove the existence of tiny humanoids? (Little Human Subspecies) *** Traveling to the Superstition Mountains in search of the rumored treasure hidden there is not only a bad idea… it could be a fatal one. (Mysterious Visitors From Other Realms) *** Seeing an unidentified flying object in the sky is pretty common – even in cases where several people see the flying whatever-it-is at the same time. But when is the last time you and everyone around you looked up and saw an entire city flying in the sky? That's what happened in 2011 in the Nigerian village of Bauchi. (UFO City) *** But first… according to GPS, off the California coast there are dozens, possibly hundreds of ships moving around in circles. But the ships, while clearly visible on the GPS system, are nowhere to be seen by the human eye. Are these ghost ships from the past? The oceanic version of crop circles? Sailing ships from a different dimension? Or could it be something more disturbing, like a new type of cyber attack? We begin with that story.

Major Lewis Redmond's story sounds like it comes from a 19th century dime novel.  He was a Carolina moonshiner, an outlaw and, thanks to actually being in some of those dime novels after the Civil War, a folk hero. His killing of a U. S. Marshal led to a life on the run across North and South Carolina, making Redmond a legend.  Today we tell his story. Be sure to follow the Stories of Appalachia podcast on your favorite podcast app so you never miss a tale from the mountains.

From a taxidermist who collected human eyes to a killer trying to fill every square on a chessboard with a victim, these twelve serial killers didn't just murder — they turned their crimes into something far more twisted and personal.IN THIS EPISODE: We have all been guilty of wishing we had more money coming in. Some people go out and get a second job. Others look at what they have to sell online, or look at what skills they have to offer to the public that they could charge money for. Or you can go the route of Georgia Tann – her entrepreneurial spirit brought her millions of dollars. And it was a simple idea. Steal other people's children, and then sell them! (How To Get Rich By Stealing and Selling Children) *** We'll look at some historic serial murderers and the strange and unusual ways they killed their victims. (Strange Predilections in Murder Methods) *** When it comes to planning the burial of someone, it's always best to to keep in mind that whomever is watching how you treat the deceased might be in charge of deciding what happens to you when you die. Sadly, one undertaker, Millard F. Rodgers, apparently forgot about the golden rule – and committed gruesome acts against families. (Six Children, One Grave) *** Residents in the town of Blakeney are reporting something horrifying prowling around the neighborhood and backyards… something they describe as a devil dog… a hell hound… a black shuck.

We recently spent three weeks in North Wales, and TBH, we left a big part of our hearts in Cymru. From the mystical borderlands to the rugged coastline and the top of Snowdon, Wales is thick with friendly sheep, genial locals, alluringly dark folklore, and natural-born storytellers. A few bits and bobs about Wales: It's symbolized by a ferocious red dragon (and the yellow daffodil). Its lakes, rivers, and mountains are home to the fair folk (the Tylwyth Teg). And it's known as the Land of Castles (more than 600 of them on hilltops, overlooking the sea and millions of sheep). Wales is the place for you if you want to ramble around outside under moody skies; it's also the place for you if you prefer to be cozy — perhaps whilst drinking tea or whisky and feeding your mind with literary pursuits. In this episode, we highlight the literary hijinks that abound in Wales: libraries, bookshops, legendary authors, and ancient tales. We learn about a Christmas tradition that's equal parts silly and spooky — and a madcap endurance race with unusual participants. Then we recommend great books that took us there on the page, including a literary story on a rugged Welsh island, a gripping mystery in Cardiff, a travelogue stuffed with delicious food stories, a rock-n-roll memoir, and a modern retelling of Dracula set in a Welsh village. Twenty Thousand Saints by Fflur Dafydd My Family and Other Rock Stars by Tiffany Murray Welsh Food Stories by Carwyn Graves Rubbernecker by Belinda Bauer The Madness by Dawn Kurtagich For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes.

Attitude is everything—and this week's storytellers prove it. Even when life throws challenges their way, they show how perspective and perseverance can make all the difference.Part 1: Paralyzed but undeterred, Scott Imbrie is on a mission to regain movement.Part 2: After an accident leaves them with severe burns on over a third of their body, Emily Hespeler works to find their way back to themselves.Scott Imbrie, BCI Pioneer, Scott is an incomplete quadriplegic with fine motor skill limitations. His spinal cord injury (C4 through C6) happened from a car accident in 1985 when the seat belt failed. Today Scott is a participant in spinal cord injury research at the University of Chicago where he controls a robotic arm and hand with sensory feed-back. The goal of this study is to restore independents to people with spinal cord injuries. His story is about hope and determination. Emily Hespeler is a certified therapeutic recreation specialist (CTRS), burn survivor, speaker, and storyteller based in New York City. Drawing from their experiences after a major burn injury, Emily combines professional expertise in recreation therapy with powerful storytelling to inspire others to embrace their inner strengths. In their everyday life, Emily finds joy in simple routines: daily walks, spontaneous conversations with strangers, and their weekly jar of peanut butter.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Picture this: you're navigating the lively streets of Rome, reflecting on the friendships, quirks, and unexpected encounters that have colored our travels and conversations over the years. From memorable moments abroad to the stories that marked our earliest episodes, we trace the path that brought us to our podcast's 10-year milestone and the approach of our 400th show. It's a whirlwind of anecdotes, insights, and nostalgia for how it all began. Amid the laughter, we turn to the heart of Italian American life with co-hosts John Viola, Patrick O'Boyle, and Dolores Alfieri Taranto. Our unscripted conversations span family traditions, the quest for the perfect rum cake, and the small but meaningful rituals that keep cultural identity alive. From humorous community stories to reflections on media portrayals, we explore how Italian American heritage continues to evolve while staying rooted in what matters most. Whether you love the bustle of dinner dances or prefer quiet nights at home, there's something here for every listener charting their own path through a changing cultural landscape. From unexpected anniversary interruptions to the deep gratitude we feel for the bonds forged along the way, this episode becomes a celebration of resilience, humor, and shared experience. We revisit family dynamics, societal observations, and a fair share of comedic mishaps, marveling at the journey that carried us to this moment. As we toast to a decade of podcasting, we offer heartfelt thanks to our listeners and the vibrant community that continues to grow with us—proof that the adventure is far from over.   HOSTS: John M. Viola Patrick O'Boyle Dolores Alfieri Taranto   PRODUCER: Nicholas Calvello-Macchia   DOLORES SOCIALS: Instagram: @dolores_alfieri_taranto

In the 1980s, the United States wreaked havoc in Central America. Backing authoritarian dictatorships. Fueling massacres and violence. Funding, training, and organizing the Contras, a paramilitary organization created to overthrow the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua. The US government was spending billions on its interventionist policies across Central America in the name of fighting so-called communism.But people pushed back across Central America. And they also responded in the United States. Hundreds of thousands of people marched in the streets against US intervention in the region. It was the Central American solidarity movement. BIG NEWS!

Regret clings to her like sea salt, and as she stands on the beach, her heart breaks for the love she lost. Yet, as the tide ebbs and flows, so does her longing—transforming into tantalizing erotic fantasies that dance like shadows on the sand.But the ocean holds secrets deeper than Tess ever imagined. As she plunges into the supernatural depths of her desires, she uncovers a world where passion knows no bounds and the boundaries between life and death blur. Finn's spirit calls to her, weaving a tale of love intertwined with BDSM and longing that transcends the physical realm.In a journey filled with tearjerking revelations and tantalizing encounters, Tess must confront the truth of Finn's demise and the powerful connection that binds them—one that could either set her free or drown her in desire forever. Join Tess as she navigates the stormy waters of love, loss, and the supernatural, discovering that some ties can never be severed, and the heart's deepest yearnings can lead to the most unexpected places. Will she find closure, or will she drown in the depths of her desire?

This week, I'm handing over the mic to you. We asked, and you delivered—our listeners sent in their most compelling, heartfelt, and jaw-dropping stories, and we're sharing our favorites. From unexpected encounters to life-changing moments, these are the real experiences that remind me why I love this community.Grab your headphones and settle in, because these stories are too good to keep to ourselves

"Working as an oncology infusion nurse, being oncology certified, attending chapter meetings, going to ONS Congress® has really taught me plenty. But being an oncology patient taught me way more. I know firsthand the fears 'you have cancer' brings. Then going through further testing, CT scans, MRIs, genetics, the whole preparation for surgery was something I never considered when I treated a breast cancer patient," ONS member Catherine Parsons, RN, OCN®, told Valerie Burger, MA, MS, RN, OCN®, CPN, member of the ONS 50th anniversary planning committee, during a conversation about her experience being an oncology nurse and cancer survivor. Burger spoke with Parsons and ONS members Margaret Hopkins, MSN, RN, OCN®, HNB-BC, and Afton Dickerson, MSN, AGACNP-BCP, CBCN®, AOCNP®, CGRA, about how cancer survivorship has shaped their careers as oncology nurses and personal lives.

I thought I knew the side effects. There's so much I didn't know. There's so much behind the scenes before a patient comes and sits in my chair. The stuff that they go through I now can understand. It surprised me how much I didn't know." TS 11:39 Hopkins: "I had been thinking I'm going to be that hero, that I can go to work. I work at night, get 8 am radiation appointments, and go home and go to sleep and wake up and go to work again because everyone said, 'Oh, it's not that bad. Radiation will be okay. You can work.' … But the real challenge for me was I didn't know how to be a patient and a nurse at the same time. And my first radiation treatment, I go in there, and I change into the gown, and then I started cleaning up because I was getting treatment done at the hospital where I worked, and were taught if you see a mess, you clean it. So I was acting like a nurse. And I almost wanted to go help the other patients, but I couldn't because I had to focus on healing." TS 15:36 Dickerson: "What made the difference for me were the nurses who didn't just treat my illness. They treated me as a whole person—my emotions, my feelings. They made me smile. They would hold my hand or just take a moment to really ask, 'Hey, how are you?' And those small, little gestures made me feel worthy, made me feel like a human. I always tell nurses it's not just about the chemo; it's about the connection. Sometimes your presence is the most healing thing that you can offer to your patient." TS 30:52

Ahoy! Here’s a little bonus treasure from our episode, Audacious at Sea: Wisdom from Strangers on a Cruise Ship. Chion spends a blissful vacation week aboard the MSC Meraviglia with about 5,000 fellow humans, sailing from Brooklyn to the Bahamas and back. And because we couldn’t fit everyone she talks with into the on-air version, this bonus gives you even more of their voices and stories. Somewhere in between sunrise coffees and late-night pizza buffets, Chion asks passengers - and a few locals in Nassau, Bahamas - to share their favorite piece of life advice. That opens the door to conversations that go way beyond advice, and into the values that people have carried with them much of their lives. GUESTS: Latisha from the Bronx Vincent Ferrito and Lauren Englemann from Brooklyn, NY Brittney and Jeana Lockhart from New Bedford, MA Henry Armbrister, Barbara Williams, Dellie Maycock, and Giovanni Ferguson from Nassau, Bahamas Support the show: https://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen are joined by Danny Martinello, the Edmonton comic who went viral on Kill Tony after winning the MSG joke-off. Danny breaks down the pressure, the crowd, the adrenaline, and the moment he realized he had to win.Brendan recaps his insane Texas hunting trip — from almost shooting a $14,000 trophy buck, learning the difference between whitetail and axis deer, night-vision hog hunting, and getting schooled by Marines on how tags and ranch rules work. The guys compare venison, Wagyu, backstrap cuts, and why hunters hit or miss the “gland” that ruins the meat.Danny shares insane Alberta stories: oil field life at –36°F, dangerous CO₂ leaks, refinery evacuations, and blue-collar comedy shows in smoke pits underground. Then the show turns into wild biker tales, including run-ins with gangs, Hells Angels, and some of the funniest (and craziest) stories Bryan has ever told on the podcast.This episode goes from hunting… to drugs… to dogs… to biker gangs… to space… to testosterone levels… all in classic TFATK chaos.Fabletics - Head to https://fabletics.com/tftk and sign up as a VIP to get eighty percent off everythingDraftKings - Download the DraftKings Sportsbook app and use promo code FIGHTER.

How do you find hope when life unexpectedly thrusts you into the valley of loss? How do you navigate the rugged terrain of pain?For Nothing is Wasted's Podcast Producer and Content Director, Catherine Fitzgerald, the heartbreak and trauma of losing her brother, Zac, plunged her into a valley unlike anything she had ever experienced. In the aftermath came secondary losses of community and identity and a spiritual desolation that felt like a dark night of the soul. She found herself wondering how she would ever find her way back to faith.And yet, God met her there—through the book of Psalms and through the stories of others, like Davey Blackburn—offering a glimmer of light to guide her toward hope.Now, in Nothing is Wasted's latest project, Catherine has gathered and edited a collection of stories from past podcast guests, Nothing is Wasted Coaches, and team members. Each story weaves together personal journeys through pain, loss, and trauma with reflections on the Psalms, forming a powerful new devotional—Hope in the Valley: 42 Days of Healing Through the Psalms After Loss, Grief, and Tragedy.In this episode, Davey and Catherine look back on their own stories and their shared journey through Nothing is Wasted. Together, they explore how loss reshapes every part of our lives, the often messy wrestle for hope, and why stories are such a vital part of nurturing faith in the valley of pain.If you've ever believed that hope simply means “looking on the bright side,” this conversation will remind you that true hope is far more complex—gritty, raw, and worth fighting for. And often, it's the stories of others that become our most powerful weapon in that fight.

Today's podcast is a field trip to the Chase Bank South Shore Community Center at 6650 S. Stony Island Ave. The branch was established to be a place for all neighbors to gather nearly five years ago. Today we attend a forum on fraud prevention, and see how neighbors are buying into the community center, and learning important tips to avoid scammers this holiday season. Host - Jon HansenGuests - Jared Evans, Chase Community Manager; CPD Detective John MaddenMore on Chase's Community Banking HereBlock Club's Coverage of the branch opening in 2021 Want to donate to our non-profit newsroom? CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago.

What if the stories we struggle to share are the very ones that could help someone else feel less alone?In this deeply moving episode of the Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, Dr. Whitney sits down with physician and author Dr. Rebecca Thompson to talk about her powerful collaborative memoir, Held Together: A Shared Memoir of Motherhood, Medicine, and Imperfect Love. The book weaves together the real-life stories of 22 women navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, adoption, medical trauma, foster care, grief, and the countless unexpected turns that shape family life.Dr. Thompson shares the origin of the book—born from her own life-threatening pregnancy complications—and why preserving women's stories felt essential in a culture that often pushes these experiences into silence. Together, Whitney and Rebecca explore themes of isolation, vulnerability, grief, flexibility, and the emotional complexity of becoming—and being—a parent.Throughout the conversation, they unpack what it means to:Feel deeply alone in motherhood, even when surrounded by othersLet go of rigid expectations and grieve the family life you thought you would haveNavigate identity when medical knowledge doesn't protect you from fear or uncertaintyFace the guilt and self-blame that often show up when our children struggleRedefine family beyond biology through adoption, fostering, step-parenthood, and chosen familyHold grief and joy at the same time, especially when honoring lost parents and imperfect relationshipsPurchase the book here. -----Our kids are growing up surrounded by misinformation about health, beauty, and worth.

In this episode, ASTHO's Director of Public Health, Data Modernization, and Informatics, Allen Rakotoniaina, breaks down how public health agencies can effectively make the case for investing in modern data systems. He explains why “business numbers,” like labor hours saved or dollars recouped, can be the tipping point for decision-makers, especially in an environment where funding is scarce. Allen also demonstrates how person-centered storytelling transforms technical work into relatable, mission-driven narratives, using real-world examples such as overdose prevention. He explores how tools like partner mapping and shared ownership can help agencies build stronger advocacy plans and create sustainable, collaborative data systems. Whether you're building a data modernization strategy or just beginning to rally your organization around the need for better systems, this conversation offers practical insights, clear examples, and a roadmap for getting started.Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Access Legal Map | ASTHO
