John Searles joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about his new novel, SINGLE GIRLS, a work of dramatic fiction set in the 1960s. It focuses on Helen Gurley Brown and the team of women she assembled who transformed Cosmopolitan into one of the best-selling magazines of all time. A Bookreporter Bets On selection, the book has been compared to "Mad Men" and "Sex and the City." John worked at Cosmopolitan and shares his encounters with Helen through the years. The novel is deeply informed by real events, Helen's memoirs, published biographies, and his personal knowledge of the editors who worked there. John had always wanted to write about Helen and had told her so during their friendship, but he had been constrained by publishing expectations to stay within his established genre: suspense/thrillers. The audiobook is narrated by his friend, Amy Ryan, who starred in the film adaptation of his earlier novel, STRANGE BUT TRUE. Carol worked at Mademoiselle, and during their conversation, she shares her background there and how she navigated her early career before leaving Condé Nast and starting The Book Report Network almost 30 years ago.

10 Strangest Missouri Cryptids - Missouri isn't just the "Show-Me State"—it's a land of deep, ancient hollows, winding riverbeds, and limestone caves that hide secrets dating back centuries. While the Midwest is often seen as quiet farmland, those who live near the Ozark hills or the banks of the "Big Muddy" know better. From the stinking, hair-raising terror of the Momo sightings in the 1970s to the protective, shimmering spirits of the Joplin Butterfly People, Missouri is a hotbed of high-strangeness. In tonight's episode, we step off the marked trails and into the shadows to count down the 10 strangest cryptids and urban legends ever reported in Missouri. Whether they are biological anomalies, interdimensional visitors, or the stuff of pure nightmare, these entities prove that the heartland is far more mysterious than it appears. In this video, we explore: The blood-curdling cry of the Ozark Howler. The 12-foot-tall aggressive giant known as the Beaman Monster. The grotesque, light-hating Ratman of Kansas City. ...and the elusive Jimplicute, a phantom that stalks the Ozark Highlands.

10 Strangest Humanoid Encounters - Strange But True - What happens when reality breaks? From the dark woods of Kentucky to the rural schools of Zimbabwe, thousands of people have witnessed things that shouldn't exist. These aren't just "lights in the sky"—these are face-to-face encounters with entities that defy every law of biology we know. In today's deep dive, we're counting down the Top 10 Strangest Humanoid Encounters ever recorded. We're going beyond the "Grays" to look at the cases that even the most hardened skeptics can't explain. Many of these accounts involve multiple independent witnesses, physical traces like landing indentations and radioactive soil, and even declassified military documents. Whether it's the "metallic clanging" of bullets off the Hopkinsville Goblins or the "carrot-shaped ears" of the Pascagoula entities, the details are too specific—and too terrifying—to be mere coincidence. #UFO #Paranormal #HumanoidEncounters #AncientAliens #UAP #UnexplainedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.

Sodium, sodium, they showed from their podium!Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland add another grain to their pile of salt with this week's Salt And Horticulture Pt. 2 on The Growing Season. With the level of ice on walking and driving surfaces all across the GTA the trio felt it prudent to discuss salt tolerant plant materials. Jack discusses an upcoming surgery.  He's a little nervous.Rising temperatures due to climate change causes our lake water to evaporate quicker, increasing the salt content in the soil.Sea Asparagus and Suaeda Maritime can live in places like Death Valley, one of the saltiest places on earth. Matt rants about boxwoods and that leads to a chat about how street trees react to an over salted growing environment. Salt Cedar leads to an episode of Strange But True.

On January 15th, 1919, a massive molasses tank in Boston's North End burst, unleashing a 25-foot wall of sticky destruction that toppled buildings, derailed trains, and killed 21 people while injuring scores more. Today, we follow the harrowing rescues, the landmark class-action showdown, and the reforms that changed U.S. engineering standards. A strange, darkly ironic tragedy—equal parts true-crime, industrial history... and sugary nightmare.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Acclaimed author and environmental reporter Craig Pittman talks about the endless inspiration of his home state.

In the summer of 1968, two young children, both under the age of five, turned up dead in Scotswood, a run down neighborhood of primarily government housing in the industrial English city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Initially, the first boy's death had been ruled an accident. But when the second died... they knew he had been strangled. And the coroner felt another child had been the one to do it. Sadly, he was right. Who would've thought a young girl, just ten years old when she killed her first victim, was capable of this? For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

Would you choose to have an identical twin? Someone who looked so much like you, that even your own mother couldn't always tell the two of you apart?  Someone whom friends and even lovers couldn't distinguish you from? Someone who experienced the world in a way so similar to your own, that no one else could ever possibly be able to relate to you quite like they could. Could be fun! But as you'll see... it could be also dangerous.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com
