Podcasts about texarkana

On the morning of April 8, 1981, 47-year-old Weldon Alexander finished his overnight shift at Cooper Tire in Texarkana, Arkansas. When he got home that morning, the first thing that he noticed was the door, which was left open. When he walked inside he found his two children, Karen and Gordon, aged 14 and 13, brutally stabbed to death.

In May of 1971, a young couple named Bobby and Elizabeth Ford rented a small frame house outside the tiny town of Fouke, Arkansas. They'd been there less than a week when something reached through their front window in the middle of the night and changed their lives forever. By morning, Bobby Ford was in a Texarkana hospital being treated for shock and abrasions, the local constable and county sheriff were photographing three-toed tracks in the yard, and a story that had been quietly told around kitchen tables in Miller County for nearly a hundred years was about to spill out into the national press.This episode walks through the full history of the Fouke Monster, from the 1908 Jonesville reports and the decades of quiet family stories that came before, through the Ford family attack on the night of 5/1/1971, and into the media wave that brought hunters, reporters, and a thousand and ninety dollar bounty to a town of a few hundred people. We dig into the work of Smokey Crabtree, the lifelong Fouke resident who became the unofficial chronicler of the case and wrote some of the most important primary-source books on the subject. We cover the production and release of Charles B. Pierce's 1972 docudrama The Legend of Boggy Creek, a film made on a hundred thousand dollar loan from a Texarkana trucking company owner that went on to gross over twenty million dollars and quietly invent the modern American Bigfoot mythos. And we trace the encounter reports that kept rolling in long after the cameras packed up, from highway sightings in the late 1970s, to coon hunters in the bottoms in 1997, to trail camera images in 2008, all the way into recent reports along the Sulphur River and Mercer Bayou.Drawing on nearly four decades of personal Sasquatch research and sixteen years in law enforcement, Brian unpacks the evidence with a careful eye on what the witnesses actually said, how investigators actually responded, and what holds up when you set the famous movie to one side and look at the record on its own terms.The episode closes with an honest weighing of the major theories, black bear misidentification, hoaxing, regional folklore, and the case for a possible undocumented hominid population in the connected swamps that run from southwest Arkansas down into Louisiana and east Texas. The witnesses in Fouke didn't ask for any of this. They saw what they saw. And the bottoms keep their secrets the way they always have.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

Ep177, How To Have Gods Life Living In You, Part 75 Title: How to Have God's Life Living in You, Part 75: Zion's Testimony, Church Hypocrisy, and Abiding in Christ Six-Paragraph Summary A Program Framed Around Testimony and Correction This episode begins with Pastor Tony Alamo introducing part 75 of How to Have God's Life Living in You, identified as program 177. He explains that the program will include listener letters and a testimony from his son, Zion, which some church members reportedly criticized. Alamo presents the testimony as honest and spiritually important, while arguing that churches often contain hypocrites and insincere believers. His opening remarks establish the episode's central focus: distinguishing what he views as genuine Christian faith from outward religious pretense. Zion's Childhood and Crisis of Belief A large portion of the episode centers on Zion's testimony, which is read aloud and then interpreted by Alamo. Zion describes growing up around church people whom he perceived as insincere, saying this led him to doubt God and look down on others. Alamo repeatedly explains Zion's doubts by saying that he himself was imprisoned during part of Zion's childhood and that other church members failed to properly teach him the Bible, ministry literature, and Christian discipline. The testimony is presented as a turning point in which Zion begins to question his earlier disbelief. Los Angeles as a Turning Point Zion's testimony describes a major change after he went to the Los Angeles church and encountered newer believers praying openly and intensely. He says that seeing people who appeared sincere convicted him and led him to begin reading the Bible in the morning and before sleep. Alamo emphasizes this part of the testimony as proof that Zion encountered genuine Christian zeal there, unlike what he says Zion had seen earlier. The episode portrays this experience as the beginning of Zion's decision to make a firm spiritual stand. Criticism of Church Members and Failed Instruction Alamo uses Zion's testimony to criticize specific church members and broader patterns he sees in the church, including hypocrisy, gossip, negligence, lack of Bible teaching, and failure to discipline children. He states that many children in the church were not properly taught the Bible, did not hear his messages, and were not trained in the way he believes they should have gone. These claims are presented as Alamo's interpretation of the church's internal problems, and his tone is forceful and accusatory. He also discusses people being removed from the church when, according to him, the Lord directed it. Letters from Listeners Seeking Literature and Guidance The program also includes letters from listeners in Omaha, Nebraska, and Brickeys, Arkansas. The Omaha letter praises Alamo's Mass Suicide article and requests many copies for distribution. Alamo uses the letter to emphasize evangelism, saying that a true believer desires to spread the message after being saved. The Arkansas letter comes from an imprisoned former Missionary Baptist preacher who says he is seeking truth, asks for Christian materials, and requests an autographed ministry letterhead. Alamo agrees to send the requested material. Abiding in Christ and Closing Prayer Near the end, the episode returns to the series theme of abiding in Christ. The reader states that believers begin to abide in Christ in a practical way through fellowship, enjoyment, and experience of Jesus. Alamo says that if the Lord is truly abiding in someone, God will teach others through that person rather than leave them consumed by worldly distractions. He closes with a salvation prayer, inviting listeners to ask Jesus into their hearts, receive forgiveness, and thank the Lord for saving their souls. The program ends with ordering information for tape or CD copies and a preview of the next installment. Transcription Quirks and Corrections That Matter “Tony Alonzo” was corrected to Tony Alamo. “Part on messages” was corrected to part in the messages. “Ponies” was corrected to phonies. “One year's zone” was corrected to one or two years old, with the later transcript reference supporting two years old. “Brian Broadbrake” is uncertain but was retained as the likely name from the transcript. “Debbie Andresak” was corrected to Debbie Andrassac, though the spelling remains somewhat uncertain. “Sally Jamillin / Denlin / Demelan” appears to refer to Sally Jamellin, but the exact spelling is unclear. “Chieni Orlando” appears likely to be a person's name, but the transcript is unclear. “Bobby Chameison” was corrected to Bobby Jameson, based on the likely intended name in context. “Oh, Mohan Nebraska” was corrected to Omaha, Nebraska. “Brickies, Arkansas” was corrected to Brickeys, Arkansas. “Morleton, Arkansas” was corrected to Morrilton, Arkansas. “Friday will get you nowhere” was corrected to flattery will get you nowhere. “Texas, Texas” was corrected to Texarkana, Texas.

Ep176, How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part, 74 How to Have God's Life Living in You, Part 74: Consecration, Abiding in Christ, and the Great White Throne Six-Paragraph Summary Letters from Around the World The episode opens with Pastor Tony Alamo introducing part 74 of How to Have God's Life Living in You, identified as program 176. He prays for the service and then turns to letters from listeners in India, New Jersey, Ghana, and the United Kingdom. The letters express appreciation for the ministry's literature, tapes, CDs, and broadcasts, and several writers request Bibles, religious materials, and additional messages. Alamo responds by directing that materials be sent and by framing the correspondence as evidence of the ministry's global reach. Emphasis on Consecration A major theme of the episode is consecration, which Alamo describes as fully giving oneself to God rather than merely professing Christianity. He argues that salvation must be followed by a holy life and daily service, and he contrasts outward religious behavior with what he presents as true inward surrender. He repeatedly uses altar imagery, comparing consecration to an Old Testament burnt offering, where the old self is symbolically destroyed so that God's life may operate through the believer. Criticism of Hypocrisy and Religious Opposition Throughout the message, Alamo sharply criticizes people he views as hypocrites, especially those inside churches who, in his view, obstruct ministry work or fail to live according to Scripture. He compares such people to Pharisees, scribes, whitewashed tombs, serpents, chaff, and goats. These claims are presented as his religious interpretation and are delivered in a confrontational tone. He also makes strong statements about outside religious groups, government authorities, and alleged opposition to his ministry. The Great White Throne and Judgment Alamo connects the subject of consecration to the Great White Throne Judgment in Revelation 20. He teaches that people who do not have Christ living in them will face divine judgment and eternal punishment. He contrasts earthly life, which he describes as brief, with eternity, which he says will be spent either in heaven or in hell and the lake of fire. The message stresses urgency, warning listeners not to delay repentance or rely on their own ideas of salvation. Being “In Christ” Versus “Abiding in Christ” The second major teaching section distinguishes between being “in Christ” and “abiding in Christ.” Alamo explains that being in Christ refers to salvation and union with Christ, while abiding in Christ refers to ongoing fellowship, obedience, and allowing Christ to live through the believer. He uses the metaphor of a house to say that a person must not invite Christ in and then push Him out in order to sin. In his view, true Christianity requires continual surrender and daily communion with God. Closing Prayer and Program Information The episode ends with a salvation and consecration prayer, inviting listeners to accept Jesus Christ, ask for forgiveness, and commit to abiding in Him. Alamo emphasizes that the purpose of the broadcast is to bring listeners to salvation rather than to collect money, while also noting the cost of radio broadcasting. A program assistant then gives contact information for ordering the tape or CD, including the ministry website, mailing address, phone number, and fax number. Alamo closes by encouraging listeners to continue abiding in Christ. Transcription Quirks and Corrections That Matter “Tony Alama” was corrected to Tony Alamo. “Reinsurrected” was corrected to resurrected. “Pheresies” was corrected to Pharisees. “Quite washed” was corrected to whitewashed. “Tiscataway, New Jersey” was corrected to Piscataway, New Jersey. “Uhulah” and “To Lupu” Bibles appear to refer to Telugu Bibles. “Go by error” was corrected to go by air mail. “Guinead, United Kingdom” appears likely to be Gwynedd, United Kingdom. “Tai Fuk, Acregona, Africa” appears likely to refer to Tafo, Accra, Ghana, though the original audio/transcript is unclear. “T.O. Box” was corrected to P.O. Box, and “Texas, Texas” was corrected to Texarkana, Texas. “Copy of this state” was corrected to copy of this tape, and “CD or see me” was corrected to CD or tape.

#707: Joe and I traveled to the campus of Texas A&M University-Texarkana for a very special live recording. We were joined by Jay Davis, the Executive Director of Financial and Entrepreneurship Engagement, to answer questions from an incredible audience of students. Whether you're just starting your career or looking to "reset" your habits, this episode covers the essential transition from the classroom to the professional world.  Student Questions Hannah (Psychology Major): How do I navigate the trade-offs between passion, a paycheck, and peace of mind in my 20s without having regrets later? Hannah (Second Student): As I move from a student budget to a professional salary, how do I prevent "lifestyle creep" from eating my first big raise? Gabriel: How do I find the middle ground between being responsible for "Future Me" and actually enjoying my life while I'm young? Stephano: When is the right time to start investing, and how do I balance that with paying down student loans? Valarie: How do I build a solid credit score as a student without falling into the trap of high-interest debt? Thomas: What are the most important "marketable skills" I should be developing now to ensure financial security later? Key Takeaways Follow Curiosity Over Passion: Passion is often a side effect of mastery, not the starting point. Follow your curiosity into deep learning; the fulfillment (autonomy, mastery, and purpose) will follow once you become an expert in your craft. Build Your "Bravery Fund": High marketable skills and a solid emergency fund give you the freedom to take risks. If you have a financial cushion and low fixed costs, you have the "bravery" to pivot careers if your first choice isn't the right fit. Automate Your Success: The most effective way to beat lifestyle creep is to "hide" your raise from yourself. Set up automated transfers to retirement accounts or debt repayment for the same day your paycheck hits your account. Beware of High Fixed Costs: Avoid the "new grad" trap of heavy car payments ($700–$1,000/month). These high monthly obligations are the biggest inhibitors to your future housing flexibility and career mobility. The 24-Hour "Fun" Rule: To balance current enjoyment with future savings, create a deliberate "yes" list. If you want to spend on a hobby or experience, wait 24 hours to ensure it's a conscious choice rather than an impulse.

In 1946, a masked "Phantom Killer" murdered five people in Texarkana. The mystery and lack of resolution turned the case into local legend, and it later inspired the 1976 film, The Town That Dreaded Sundown.In this episode, I'm discussing my recent visit to Texarkana for the 50th anniversary screening of the proto-slasher directed by Arkansas filmmaker Charles B. Pierce.I'm also chatting about the local controversy, the 2014 version, and the legacy that has endured in Texarkana since 1946.Listen:The Moonlight Murders: Texarkana's Phantom KillerWatch:Cinematographer James W.

I didn't expect a 24-hour lesson to smack me in the face, but it did: wake up in Maine and go to bed in Texarkana, Arkansas, and you realize how much life can fit inside one day. I'm running hot lately, riding deadlines, feeling the walls close in, and trying to claw my way back to solid ground. Then my wife says the simplest thing that changes everything: go. Take the break. Get out of the foxhole for a minute.So we do something ridiculous. Brian Palmolo and I fly out, hit Houston, Uber down to Navasota, buy a 30-ish foot RV, and point it toward home with almost no plan beyond staying flexible. Along the way we deal with the realities everyone's talking about: travel stress, TSA chaos, and the cost of the road. But we also run into the best parts of America: helpful people, strange surprises, and the kind of moments you can't schedule.We end up camping at the Texarkana fairgrounds during a barrel racing championship, getting an unreal view over the Mississippi River from the Memphis Bass Pro pyramid, and living that Broadway night in Nashville where strangers turn into instant friends. We even pull off the sketchy “act like you belong” move to catch a few hours of sleep near the Tennessee Titans stadium before we roll out at 4 a.m. Then it's Smoky Mountains views, Gatlinburg energy, a real business opportunity for Loud Proud American, and one personal moment that hits me hard: spotting a bald eagle and feeling like my dad is still riding with me.If you've been feeling burnt out, stuck, or boxed in, let this be your nudge toward a factory reset.

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Dane Carlson talks with Eric Voyles, Executive Vice President and Chief Economic Development Officer for TexAmericas Center, about how a former 8,900-acre military installation became one of the most innovative redevelopment authorities in the country. Eric explains how eliminating public review delays, investing millions in environmental cleanup, controlling rail and logistics assets, and focusing relentlessly on speed to occupancy have allowed TexAmericas Center to compete for heavy and light manufacturing projects. From creative risk-taking with early-stage companies to clearing 250-acre rail-served sites after losing a deal, this conversation is a masterclass in how data, preparation, and governance alignment drive real economic development results. Like this show? Please leave us a review here — even one sentence helps! 10 Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Make time your primary incentive. If possible, remove unnecessary entitlement layers and compress approval timelines. Speed reduces perceived risk. Self-certify before paying for certification. Develop internal "qualified site" standards so prospects can complete due diligence faster. Track inventory in categories. Move-in ready, construction ready, shovel ready, rail served, etc. Clarity accelerates decisions. Invest after losing. If you lose a project for a specific reason, eliminate that weakness permanently, even if it costs real money. Treat small buildings as assets. Flexible, modular inventory can win projects creatively, even when you lack a single large structure. Control key assets when possible. Owning rail, logistics, or utilities strengthens your value proposition and revenue model. Be willing to take calculated risk on local companies. Early bets on scalable firms can create long-term anchor employers. Align your board around business realities. Populate governance with people who understand customers, not just politics. Operate like a private developer. Use CRM systems, outsourcing where efficient, and disciplined deal flow management. Let data guide strategy. Understand supply and demand curves in your region before pushing incentives or marketing narratives. Special Guest: Eric Voyles.

This Valentine's Day, Truth Be Told Paranormal takes you back to 1946…A time when young couples escaped to quiet back roads and lover's lanes, dreaming of a future after the devastation of World War II.But in Texarkana, romance became the bait.Between February and May of 1946, a hooded figure began stalking parked couples along secluded roads near the Texas–Arkansas border. He didn't rob them. He didn't leave warnings. He simply waited in the dark… for love to arrive.The attacks were brutal. Personal. Calculated.As fear spread throughout the town, reports began to surface of a ghostly man in white lurking beside vehicles at night—watching, waiting, vanishing without a trace. The killer was never caught… but sightings didn't stop. Could the trauma of these violent attacks have imprinted something onto the land itself?Did the collective fear of an entire town create a psychic echo… a tulpa… a phantom? Or is something still standing beside parked cars… waiting? Tonight, we explore one of America's most chilling unsolved cases—where true crime meets the paranormal.#TruthBeToldParanormal #ClubParanormal #TrueCrimePodcast #ParanormalPodcast #UnsolvedMystery #TexarkanaPhantom #LoversLaneMurders #ValentinesDaySpecial #HauntedHistory #Tulpa #TrueCrimeCommunity #GhostStories #Unexplained #MysteryPodcast #DarkHistory #AmericanMysteries #StayCurious #StayTruthfulBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-paranormal--3589860/support.

***Special thanks to KEEL Radio’s Erin McCarty and Mike Martindale; to Tony Taglavore (shreveportbossierjournal.com) for his excellent 2024 feature story about Larry Ryan, and to Twin Blends: Northwest Louisiana History Hunters’ Facebook page for a few photos in today’s story.  I had the pleasure of working as a part-time announcer for Larry Ryan nearly 50 years ago. During the early 1960’s, Larry Ryan may have heard the phrase “You’re fired!” more times than cartoon’s George Jetson did from his boss, Mr. Spacely. The young radio announcer had bounced around from one radio market to another in search of a few extra dollars per week. This 26-year old disk jockey was offered a $25/week raise to move to Shreveport, Louisiana and begin working the evening shift at Top 40 radio station KEEL 710AM in 1964. For more than 60 years, Shreveport, Bossier City and Ark-La-Tex region have embraced “Lovable” Larry Ryan and his immense radio creativity and talent. Last Friday, Ryan’s most recent Shreveport radio station employer (which played “The Greatest Hits of All Time” oldies format) abruptly advised him and his morning crew that their long-time popular morning show was being canceled. Effective immediately. The FM station was recently acquired by a new owner.  They wanted to go in a different direction with their 6-9AM morning show. Though it had been awhile, Larry Ryan was quite familiar with hearing that line again. Today, Larry Ryan’s first radio station employer in Shreveport brought him back on the air to provide him with a very dignified way to say, “Good bye” to his legions of loyal radio listeners. The final hour of Wednesday’s News/Talk 710 KEEL morning show featuring Erin McCarty and Mike Martindale was filled with tributes to the area’s radio broadcasting legend. Shreveport mayor Tom Arceneaux and Bossier City mayor Tommy Chandler each read proclamations making it “Larry Ryan Day” in both cities (February 11, 2026). How did Iowa native Larry Ryan become so beloved in Shreveport, LA? Larry Ryan is a native of Marshalltown, Iowa – just northeast of Des Moines.  After a one year stint at what is now Northern Iowa University, he joined the Air Force. If he thought it was cold in Iowa during the winter, Larry Ryan found himself stationed in frigid Minot, North Dakota.  That’s when he knew it was time to leave the Air Force and find a real job. He would become a radio announcer (DJ, if you prefer) who worked at stations in Iowa, Arkansas, Alabama, and Virginia prior to receiving an offer to work the evening shift at AM powerhouse KEEL Radio in Shreveport.  Larry reminded listeners today that he also brought along his long-time girlfriend, Suzy. They were married in Marshall, Texas upon his arrival in Shreveport.  More about Suzy Ryan in a bit. Larry Ryan’s evening show became a huge hit with the younger audience. He interacted with callers, had fun doing creative “live” spots for sponsors, and even created funny comedy song features such as “Hide The Booze” (performed to the instrumental version of “The Can-Can Song”). It wasn’t long before Larry Ryan was promoted to become KEEL’s morning show host. The 50,000 watt daytime signal of KEEL AM stretches from Texarkana to the north and southward through northeastern Texas and western and central Louisiana down I-49 to Lafayette. “Lovable” Larry Ryan’s morning show beginning in the mid-1960’s featured Top 40 rock and roll hits along with topics of local interest.  Talented radio newsmen like Ken Booth and Scott Hodges, syndicated commentator Paul Harvey, and a very unlikely local weatherman added more flavor to this increasingly popular show. This morning, Larry recounted that KEEL’s morning newsman Ken Booth did not like being asked to read the weather at the end of his local newscasts.  KEEL’s co-located FM affiliate KMBQ was playing automated reel-to-reel tapes of beautiful music.  Larry quickly grabbed the FM station’s young audio operator named Ralph Montgomery and said, “Get in here!  I want you to come read the weather on the air for me – now!” Ryan introduced his nervous and totally unprepared 6:05AM weather man to KEEL’s massive audience. “And now…the effervescent…Mr. Weather!”  Ralph Montgomery somehow made it through that first weather forecast and won a 50+year radio co-hosting role alongside of Larry Ryan. Mr. Weather’s unique sense of humor always seemed to tickle Larry’s funny bone. It was pure radio magic Larry Ryan & Mr. Weather became the foundation for KEEL’s incredible radio ratings success for the next decade.  KEEL’s morning show captured an unheard-of 50% of the total radio audience as both youngsters and their parents were fans of the show. Larry became KEEL’s program director and hired a number of extremely talented on-air personalities to work at other times of the day.  Howard Clark, Steve Kelly, Tommy Kramer, Ronald F. Montgomery (no relation to Ralph “Mr. Weather” Montgomery) and many others graduated to work at major market radio stations after being mentored by Larry Ryan at KEEL in Shreveport. Producing a top-notch commercial for clients is very important for radio stations. The creative voice and production talents of Larry Ryan and his team of announcers was in high demand for producing effective commercials on behalf of local, regional and national ad agencies. Larry’s wife, Suzy, became involved in selling radio advertising for KEEL.  She possessed a sincere belief in the effectiveness of the station’s primary product – especially her husband’s top-rated radio show.  Suzy remained laser-focused on business and supported Larry’s creative talent behind the microphone.  The duo’s business acumen translated into solid income for their soon-to-be growing family. After Suzy became pregnant with each of the couple’s two children (Corey and Casey), Larry frequently brought Suzy on the air to talk about how she had been feeling.  Their willingness to share such personal details over the air further endeared the couple to thousands of KEEL’s adult listeners. Larry Ryan played sports in high school and brought his love of sports to Shreveport Ryan formed the KEEL “Dirty Dribblers” basketball team and the KEEL “Nasty Nine” softball team.  The basketball team featured a few of the radio announcers but included legitimate sports talent such as former Northwestern State University basketball player-turned-media advertising specialist Al LeGrand.  The KEEL Dirty Dribblers and Nasty Nine softball teams played dozens of fund-raising games against the teachers and coaches at area schools. The goodwill resulting from those charity games served to reinforce the personal bond between the radio station’s listeners and “Lovable” Larry Ryan’s radio team. By 1974, the World Football League had started a new pro football league.  This came a few years after the American Football League had successfully merged with the NFL in 1970. The new WFL franchise located in Houston was already failing in Year #1. Larry Ryan took to the air expressing his firm belief that Shreveport and Bossier City (with about 350,000 residents) was quite capable of supporting the Houston WFL franchise – assuming it could be moved to Shreveport. Within weeks of Ryan’s daily on-air encouragement to local businesses and governmental leaders, the WFL’s Houston Texans (that was their name!) moved the franchise to Shreveport midway through the initial football season. The Shreveport Steamer of the World Football League was born.  A local crowd of more than 21,000 attended the Steamer’s first home game against Memphis in September, 1974.  Though Shreveport’s attendance remained solid, the WFL folded midway through its second season in 1975 under mounting financial pressures. Around this time, Larry and Suzy Ryan were offered a chance to buy another local radio station in Shreveport.  Unlike KEEL’s 50,000 watt signal, local station KBCL’s signal was just 250 watts and operated on a daytime-only frequency. The duo took the plunge anyway. They built a top-notch on-air and sales staff and pursued FCC approval to relocate the radio station onto a frequency with 24-hour capability.  Talented on-air personalities like Randy Davis (who enjoyed a long career in New York City), K.C. Daniels, Howard Jennings Hart, and Larry “Charlie” Monk joined the staff. Current FOX Sports football and basketball broadcaster Tim Brando also worked for Larry Ryan at KBCL prior to moving to a larger radio market and into his future television career. Though this under-powered AM radio station’s ratings were quite impressive, the inability to obtain a 24-hour operating frequency from the FCC, a declining local employment market, and the rise of FM competition forced the Ryans to return to their radio roots in the early 1980’s. Bringing it forward Larry Ryan would work for another 40 years (!) in the Shreveport area at various radio stations. He spent most of the past few decades playing 70’s and 80’s music formats for his faithful listeners. Ralph “Mr. Weather” Montgomery began a career in another field, but his employer allowed him to work early mornings with his long-time partner, too. Long-time friend and sales pro Al LeGrand stuck with Larry, too.  Al provided sports commentary for Ryan’s morning shows and enjoyed participating in some of the on-air hijinks until retiring several years ago. LeGrand built a very successful media advertising agency in Shreveport. Larry’s one-woman dynamo wife, Suzy Ryan, proudly formed her own media advertising agency.  She would (of course) provide sales support for Larry’s successful radio programs.  The Ryans’ two children would also enter the media business after completing their education. Sadly, Larry Ryan’s beloved wife and life partner, Suzy, passed away in 2013.  Larry has (at least until last Friday) continued to work his morning radio show for a local FM station. Interviewed two years ago, Larry Ryan (now in his 80’s) knew that his time behind the microphone would eventually come to an end. In that print interview in 2024, Larry Ryan said, “I’ve done good.  I’ve been nationally recognized, which really doesn’t mean that much other than ego.  That has never been part of my being.  I had fun!” And so have we!  Thank you for six decades of terrific memories, Lovable Larry!

In June 1948, 21-year-old Mary Virginia Carpenter left Texarkana for college in Denton, Texas. She was last seen after a taxi dropped her near Brackenridge Hall at Texas State College for Women. The letter she promised her mother never came, and neither did Virginia. More than 70 years later, her disappearance remains one of Denton's quiet, enduring mysteries.

Today's True Weird Stuff - The Phantom Killer   In 1946, the twin cities of Texarkana were gripped by terror; an unknown person began attacking couples in the night, murdering five people over the course of weeks. As the murders mounted, fear and paranoia consumed the community. Despite an exhaustive investigation fueled by endless false tips, bogus confessions, and hundreds of possible suspects, the actual perpetrator was never found. They'd vanished without a trace and will forever be known as the Phantom Killer.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, Gary Jenkins interviews bestselling author Mark Shaw about his explosive new research into the JFK and RFK assassinations — and the hidden role of New Orleans Mafia boss Carlos Marcello. Shaw breaks down newly uncovered FBI documents, including Marcello's alleged 1985 prison confession claiming involvement in JFK's murder. We explore Marcello's long-running war with Robert Kennedy, the suspicious death of journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, and significant inconsistencies in the official story of RFK's assassination. This conversation challenges the lone-gunman narrative and exposes how organized crime, politics, and government investigations may have collided to shape American history.

To kick off Wicked Wednesday Urban Legends series, we're throwing it back to our coverage of the Texarkana Moonlight Murders. This horrific, unsolved case is the inspiration for the infamous legend of The Hookman. Come back next week to hear all about it!Between February and May 1946, three people were brutally attacked and five were murdered in Texarkana by a man dubbed the Phantom Killer. Texarkana straddles Texas and Arkansas and had a population of about 27,000 at the time of the murders. The murders have never been solved, though many believe to know who's responsible for the crimes. James “Jimmy” Hollis and Mary Jeanne Larey were attacked in February 1946 but luckily survived. Richard Griffin and Polly Ann Moore were not so lucky when they were killed just three weeks later in March. Paul Martin and Betty Jo Booker were the second double murder three weeks later in April. Virgil Starks was killed and his wife Katie was shot twice at the beginning of May 1946. Then the attacks ended as quickly as they began.

Our guest is retired Ag teacher John Clark, who began teaching in 1990, moved through MS, Texarkana, and Corning, and came to Paragould High School in 1998, retiring in 2023.

Is financial literacy missing from your life like that sock you swear went in the dryer? Tiffany Aliche, AKA The Budgetnista, is here to help you find it—minus the lint. She shares her journey to financial wholeness and takes us behind the scenes of her brand-new PBS special. Meanwhile, Joe and OG break down why financial education starts with community (not overpriced guru courses), why ‘Buy Now, Pay Later' is the financial equivalent of eating fast food in your car—feels great now, but you'll regret it later—and how even a trip to Texarkana can teach you a thing or two about money. Plus, a story involving World War II espionage that somehow made its way into the mix. Here's what's on tap this week: Kicking off Monday with a solid dose of grumpiness (and a passionate store-brand rant). Hanging with The Budgetnista—Tiffany Aliche takes us behind the scenes. Why financial literacy isn't just about numbers—it's about community. The sneaky financial traps that might be eating your wallet alive. Tiffany's PBS special—how she tackled stage fright and delivered a knockout show. Headlines that made us go “Wait, WHAT?!”—including Klarna and DoorDash teaming up. ‘Buy Now, Pay Later'—why it's like borrowing money from Future You (and Future You is not happy about it). Mortgage strategies, financial independence, and the art of dodging debt. Could you survive a week on cash only? One of us is trying (and maybe crying). Food waste: it's not just bad for the planet—it's silently draining your bank account. Upcoming meetups, tax tips, and basement-style money wisdom you can actually use. And if you stick around long enough, well… who knows what else might show up?
