Podcasts about stories

We're once again heading deep into Appalachia, where shadow figures crawl out of mirrors, faceless entities ride bikes at 2 a.m., and crosses flip upside down just to prove a point. It's chilling, it's bizarre, and in Appalachia sometimes inside is just as scary as outside. Stories include: A childhood spent with a shadowy girl in the mirror who didn't stay trapped for long. An unseen presence in a haunted Virginia town that left a listener drenched in dread and clinging to protective charms. A late-night drive turns terrifying when a pale, blank-faced cyclist blocks the road—and the dashcam conveniently erases the footage. A horrifying Air bnb experience that sends a family packing at 4am thanks to clapping in the walls, locked rooms with glowing red light, and crosses flipped upside down. Cryptids and possible government secrets lurk around mysterious cabins, strange animal behavior, and something watching from the canyon shadows. These stories remind us that in Appalachia something is always lurking just beyond the veil. Lucky for us (and unlucky for our sleep schedules), you keep sending the proof.

You get one of the craziest true crime cases you'll ever hear. It's the disappearance and apparent murder of James Eugene Harrison, but just wait for the twist.

The Story Behind the Bottle: Why Your Clinic's Origin Story Matters In this episode, Doc Danny Matta shares a powerful lesson about storytelling, sparked by a birthday gift—a 1985 bottle of wine with an incredible backstory. What started as a meaningful gesture turned into a masterclass on how stories give depth, emotion, and memorability to everything—from a bottle of wine to your physical therapy clinic. Quick Ask Help us reach our goal of adding $1B in cash-based services to the profession—share this episode with a clinician friend or post it on your Instagram stories and tag Danny. He'll reshare it! Episode Summary The Gift: Danny tracks down a rare 1985 bottle of wine as a 40th birthday gift—and discovers that the story behind it matters more than the wine itself. The Lesson: The story gives meaning. Without it, even something valuable loses its emotional connection and memorability. The Parallels: Your clinic is your “bottle of wine.” Patients remember stories—why you started, who you help, and what drives you. Sales takeaway: Facts tell, but stories sell. The human brain connects more deeply through narrative and emotion. Real-world example: A clinician with an ACL tear who now helps ACL patients isn't just selling rehab—she's sharing a relatable journey. How to Use This Lesson Craft your origin story: Write down what you do, who you help, and why you do it. Practice your story: Tell it naturally at workshops, networking events, or in your videos and social posts. Refine it fast: Use short “elevator pitch” versions for local groups or online intros. Be specific: Generic stories get forgotten. Details and personal experiences make you memorable. Share it everywhere: On your website, your Google listing, your email signature, and every patient interaction. Mindset & Application Without story, there's no stickiness: People remember emotion, not bullet points. Context multiplies impact: A great gift or clinic means more when people understand the meaning behind it. Social proof amplifies belief: Just like the wine connoisseur validated Danny's gift, testimonials validate your service. Repetition builds clarity: The more you share your story, the more confident and authentic it becomes. Notable Quotes “You may have an awesome bottle of wine, but if people don't know the story behind it, it doesn't hit the same way.” “Your clinic is your bottle of wine—your story makes it memorable.” “Facts tell. Stories sell.” Action Items Write your origin story: What you do, who you help, and why you do it. Practice telling it to patients, referral partners, and community contacts. Add your story to your website's About section and intro videos. Share a short version at your next local event or online post.

Episode Description “If you don't take risks, will you always work for someone who did?” That's the thought-provoking question Kent Hance opens with, setting the stage for an episode packed with wisdom, heartfelt tributes, and classic Texas storytelling. In this episode, Kent Hance reflects on Warren Buffett's philosophy of risk-taking, weaving in personal anecdotes and sharp observations about how political landscapes have shifted over the decades. Listeners are treated to Kent's unique perspective on business, politics, and the importance of taking chances—whether in the boardroom or in everyday life. The episode takes a poignant turn as Kent shares the moving story of Gage Ingram, a Texas Tech graduate and Navy SEAL who made the ultimate sacrifice. Kent's tribute to Gage and his family is a powerful reminder of the courage and commitment found in communities across Texas. The episode also honors Sarah House, another Texas Tech alum whose life was tragically cut short, underscoring the fragility of life and the importance of community support. But it wouldn't be a Kent Hance podcast without a dose of humor and the unexpected. From tales of “stupid criminals”—like the man who tried to rob an ATM inside a jail—to the inventor of the Pop-Tart and maggots on a Delta flight, Kent's stories will have you laughing, shaking your head, and marveling at the unpredictability of life. Notable Quotes & Moments: “If you don't take risks, you will always work for someone who took risks.” Kent's heartfelt tribute: “There are young people all over this world doing dangerous things that we don't know about. They're trying to keep us safe.” On police work: “Not everybody should be a police officer. You have to have the right temperament.” The Pop-Tart story and Seinfeld's upcoming movie—dessert for breakfast, anyone? “Don't wear stupid t-shirts to court and don't try to rob the jail.” Themes & Insights: The value of risk-taking in life and business Shifts in political ideologies and their real-world impact Honoring service and sacrifice in the military and local communities The importance of defensive driving and staying safe The lighter side of human folly and the lessons it brings Call to Action: Did a story resonate with you?

Hundreds of people showed up Tuesday night at events across the Northwest and West sides to assemble whistle kits that Chicagoans can use to alert neighbors when immigration enforcement agents are nearby.The events came as Chicagoans are increasingly looking for ways to peacefully resist federal operations Midway Blitz and At Large, immigration enforcement programs that kicked off in September.Host - Jon HansenReporter - Francia Garcia HernandezBlock Club Chicago's ICE CoverageBlock Club's team knows how confusing and fast immigration news is hitting Chicago as Operation Midway Blitz continues. So, in the hopes of simplifying the news for our readers, we've launched a WhatsApp channel to share Block Club's daily recaps of ICE news and other breaking immigration news directly to your phone. On weekdays, newsletter intern Jake Cox, Newsletter Editor Hannah Boufford and other Block Club staff members will send daily updates and alerts to the channel as news breaks.

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 five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 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. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

'Bring them home' is now 'BROUGHT THEM HOME!'Trump's peace deal is real - the hostages have been released and we celebrate this amazing moment in history on the ANN AND PHELIM SCOOP. Watch this week's episode where we bring you the stories behind the reunions. It is a time for celebration but we should not forget that on October 7, 2023 Hamas invaded Israel and slaughtered 1,200 innocent people and kidnapped 251 others. Many hostages were murdered whilst in captivity. And now after pressure from President Trump the last living hostages have been released but is there going to be a lasting peace? Maybe, Hamas still has a stranglehold on Gaza. They are carrying out public executions of their enemies. Dozens of people are being shot in the street.Besides Hamas, the mainstream media continue to vilify Israel. This is why we created the OCTOBER 7 play. We could not believe the anti-semitism and hostility being fostered across Europe and America, so we went to Israel right after October 7 and spoke to the bereaved, the survivors, and those who fought back. We took their pure testimony and made OCTOBER 7 the play. It was off-Broadway for six weeks. The New York Post said OCTOBER 7 was “spellbinding…powerful and a sanctuary for truth.” We have since brought it to Princeton, UCLA and Bowdoin College, Maine and want to bring it to every college in the US that had a horrible encampment celebrating the biggest murder of Jews since the Holocaust. Please help us bring the play to those who need to hear the truth by going to UnreportedStorySociety.com or October7thePlay.com and give, and write to us if you want to bring a performance to a location near you. Have we got a cat story for you! It has more ups and downs than Hunter Biden's sobriety journey. Top Cat is at the centre of the drama. A story for the ages - be sure to listen to the podcast to hear the latest drama. Plot twist: Ann does have a favorite among the cats.And our friend, the energy expert Robert Bryce is joining us this week to tell us how the Chinese are holding the world hostage with their monopoly on rare earth metals. America has rare earth metals but environmentalists are determined to not let us exploit them. Tune in this week to hear how the Chinese control more and more of our precious resources and how this is damaging our national security.

Most true crime stories fall into the same trap—fixating on the killer, sensationalizing the violence, and leaving victims as footnotes. Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy doesn't play that game. In this episode, we sit down with executive producer Patrick McManus, actor Michael Chernus, and attorney/podcaster Bob Motta to talk about how this new Peacock series does something different. Something overdue. It centers the victims. It challenges the system. And it strips the monster of his myth. We explore the challenges of dramatizing a case with so much historical weight. McManus shares how the writers chose to humanize the victims through standalone narrative arcs. Chernus discusses the internal conflict of embodying Gacy without glorifying him. And Motta opens up about inheriting his father's defense tapes and hearing, for himself, the voice of a man who had no remorse, no empathy, and no soul. This is one of the most grounded, respectful, and important retellings of a true crime story in years. And we're honored to bring you the story behind the series.  #DevilInDisguise #PeacockGacySeries #TrueCrimeDoneRight #VictimCentered #JohnWayneGacy #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #GacyDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In today's episode of Reddit Stories Podcast, a wild Karen completely loses it. You won't believe how this one ends! Sit back, relax, and enjoy this binge-worthy Reddit Stories Podcast, featuring Karen freakouts, entitled people stories, and pro revenge tales.

Today, John talks about how Paul understood that we cannot live a life of peace and joy without first tending to the garden of our thoughts. If our thinking is careless, our living will be reactive and restless. But when our minds are filled with truth and beauty, our lives begin to reflect the light of Christ. Stories like those of heroes in Saving Private Ryan or the humble villagers in Lest Innocent Blood Be Shed help reorient our thoughts toward honor, purity, and courage. They remind us that goodness is not abstract; it's alive and visible in acts of faithfulness.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Now that we've seen Lorewalking a bit, a listener asks the Lore Watch team what other events in Azeroth's history we should get to go visit through that system. While the listener suggests the War of the Three Hammers -- which Joe and Matt are on board with -- the response runs the gamut of Azeroth's history, from ancient events to a couple from WoW we just weren't there to see, all the way back to the creation of Azeroth herself. They ran through events with dizzying speed, some of which are well known to us, and others which are mostly only known to the loremasters among us.Or maybe we should kill Arthas another time, that would be fun, too.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

This special "speedcast" episode captures a slice of life on the road as we step away from our usual format for something more spontaneous and raw.My conversation with Gabby Savino, a nursing manager at Elite (the agency that provides my personal care nurses), reveals the fascinating intersection of healthcare management and human connection. Gabby shares her journey from Scrubs-inspired nursing student to healthcare professional, including hilarious stories about my own nurse Natalia getting stuck in a snowy driveway and cursing like a sailor. Behind these lighthearted moments lies a deeper story about what draws people to caregiving professions – that perfect blend of scientific curiosity and genuine compassion.Surrounded by the diverse stories and experiences at the Abilities Expo, we both found ourselves reconsidering what we're thankful for – from the basics of shelter and sustenance to the complex systems of care and support that make life possible for those with different abilities. For me, witnessing the struggles many face with healthcare and insurance has been "eye-opening" and "humbling in the best possible way."Listen in to this unfiltered conversation that reminds us why human connection matters so much, especially in the healthcare world. And if you've enjoyed this departure from our usual format, let us know – these speedcasts might become a regular feature whenever Life to the Max hits the road!

A new documentary explores how hedge funds are destroying local newspapers. Today, we hear how journalists are fighting back. Then, the life of Afghan refugees. And, after she was arrested, a young girl in Oakland chose a program in the desert, instead of going to jail. It's a new Uncuffed story from the California Institution for women.

KALW and the Society of Professional Journalists of Northern California recently hosted a night centering the lived experiences of the Afghan refugee community. It was at our live event space in Downtown San Francisco, as part of our series ‘The Bay Agenda.'
