Thirteen families displaced by the 2022 floods say they have been left homeless after being evicted from temporary accommodation in Durban's Point precinct. The families have been sleeping on the pavement outside the one of the buildings on Mahatma Gandhi Road since Monday. They claim other flood victims have been relocated to permanent housing, while they were told they do not qualify because they earn above the 3-thousand-500 rand income threshold or had previously registered for RDP houses.

Why Bryan Kohberger's own words might sink the petition he just filed comes down to one moment: a judge asked him, under oath, if he was pleading guilty because he was guilty, and he said yes. Thirteen months after that plea, representing himself, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court. He told the New York Times his actual innocence is his truth and called investigators' account of the case a work of fiction. Before the filing reached anyone official, he called a reporter from a prison phone, and what came out of that call left the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin dealing with a scenario they were promised in writing would never reach them. The petition claims ineffective assistance of counsel, undisclosed evidence, and a distorted picture of what death row and a life sentence would actually look like, with threats and false promises blamed for the confession itself. He's also said he'd welcome the death penalty being sought again if this reaches trial. There's a procedural wrinkle most coverage has missed: the appeal waiver he signed never closed the door on challenging whether the plea itself was valid, and that's the entire premise of this filing. The Goncalves family answered within hours, taking the petition apart in detail. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive on the record. We go through what he filed and the sentence working against him. None of it is decided yet. A judge in Ada County has the next word.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
A judge asked Bryan Kohberger, under oath, whether he was pleading guilty because he was guilty. He said yes. Thirteen months later, that exchange is the exact thing threatening to sink the petition he just filed to take it all back. Representing himself, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, telling the New York Times that his actual innocence is his truth and calling the investigators' account a work of fiction. Before any of that reached a court, he got to a prison phone and called a reporter. Not a lawyer. Not a filing. A newspaper. What followed has put the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in a position they were promised in writing they'd never be in. The petition alleges ineffective assistance of counsel, evidence his defense team failed to disclose, and a distorted picture of what a life sentence and death row would actually look like, with threats and false promises blamed for the original confession. He's also said he'd welcome prosecutors seeking the death penalty again if this goes to trial. There's a procedural detail most coverage has skipped: the appeal waiver he signed never blocked a challenge to whether the plea itself was valid, which is the entire basis for this filing. The Goncalves family answered within hours, dismantling the petition point by point. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive was ever put on the record. We go through the filing, the phone call, and the sentence that may undo both. None of this gets decided by a headline. A judge in Ada County reads it next.

Bryan Kohberger sank his own case with one line, and he said it under oath more than a year before he tried to take it all back. Tonight we go through exactly how that happened. He stood in an Idaho courtroom and pleaded guilty four times to the University of Idaho student murders. Thirteen months later, representing himself, he filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County, telling the New York Times his actual innocence is his truth. Before it ever reached a judge, he called a reporter from a prison phone, and what he said in that call put the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in a position they'd been promised, in writing, could never happen. His petition claims his defense team withheld evidence and painted a distorted picture of what death row and a life sentence would look like, and that threats and false promises produced the original confession. He's also said he'd welcome the death penalty being sought again at a new trial. But the line that matters most came the day he pleaded. When the judge asked him directly, under oath, whether he was pleading guilty because he was guilty, he said yes. The Goncalves family responded within hours, taking the petition apart point by point. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive was ever entered on the record. We walk through what he filed and why it may not hold up. None of it gets resolved tonight. It goes to a judge in Ada County from here.

Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children in Duxbury, Massachusetts. She doesn't deny what happened. This trial is entirely about whether she was criminally responsible when it did. Tony Brueski is joined live by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, more than thirty years across private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs, to unpack the opening days of testimony — starting with prosecutors putting Patrick Clancy on the stand and walking him through a bag of nine pill bottles, count by count, asking what was missing. Scott and Brueski get into what the defense calls thirteen prescriptions from multiple prescribers in four months that nobody was tracking, why an afternoon of a patient looking fine doesn't rule out a psychotic illness, and what happens when an antidepressant is handed to someone with an undiagnosed bipolar condition. They cover where Massachusetts actually sends someone found not criminally responsible, which isn't out the front door, and why roughly two dozen countries have a law written for exactly this situation and the United States doesn't. This is a live conversation, so expect real reactions and audience questions alongside the clinical breakdown.

Bryan Kohberger can never take back what he said under oath, and that's the problem sitting inside the petition he just filed to undo his own guilty plea. Thirteen months after pleading guilty four times in an Idaho courtroom, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, representing himself. He told the New York Times his actual innocence is his truth and dismissed investigators' account of the case as fiction. Before any of it reached a court, he got to a prison phone and called a reporter, and what he said set off a chain of events landing on the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, a scenario they'd been promised in writing could never happen. His petition alleges ineffective assistance of counsel, undisclosed evidence, and a distorted picture of what a life sentence and death row would actually mean, with threats and false promises blamed for the original confession. He's also said he'd welcome the death penalty being sought again if this goes to trial. But on the day he pleaded, the judge asked him directly, under oath, whether he was pleading guilty because he was guilty. He said yes. That answer is now the exact thing his own filing has to explain away. The Goncalves family responded within hours, taking the petition apart line by line. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive was ever entered on the record. We break down the filing, the phone call, and what happens next. None of it is resolved yet. It's now in a judge's hands in Ada County. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"I'd only sell for a stupid multiple. Thirteen, fifteen X." A five-practice owner from Dallas calls the hotline with the question every group owner is quietly asking: when do I sell, and what's the highest multiple anyone has actually gotten? What follows is one of the most candid breakdowns of the DSO economy you'll hear anywhere. Zombie DSOs, zero interest rate policy, bridge loans at 18 percent, dilution that sellers never see coming, and why a headline multiple is not the same as a check. Peter and Craig make the case for a different scoreboard entirely: do the honest math, optimize for cash flow, and build a life you don't want to sell. Dr. Cary Brown returns with an update on his My Story journey from February: Google reviews doubled, revenue consistently up, and a self-graded report card that Peter and Craig immediately push back on. The real lesson isn't the tactics. It's the psychology of giving yourself credit and the power of consistency over intensity. Plus, a milestone to open the show: the Bulletproof Summit 2026 is officially sold out, and Craig records his final podcast from his current office before breaking ground on a 3,000 square foot expansion that takes his practice to 26 operatories. At 55, he's stepping on the gas again. Got a story or a question for the guys? Call 561-933-5575. www.bulletproofmastermind.com www.bulletproofsummit.com
In this episode of Dishing with Stephanie's Dish, host Stephanie Hansen speaks with Jordyn Stocks from Paragis Outfitters Bookstore about the impact of recent wildfires on the Ely community, the role of the bookstore in supporting local culture, and the hidden gems of Ely. They discuss the diverse offerings of the bookstore, including popular book recommendations and the importance of community support during challenging times.Visit Ely, Minnesota for fun things to do year-round! Whether you are looking for a place to stay, a delicious meal, a hiking trail, or an immersion experience, we have businesses ready to meet your needs.Stephanie Hansen (00:00.824)Hello, everybody, and welcome to Dishing with Stephanie's Dish, the podcast where we talk to people in the food space, but I also talk to other people too. And I've been doing a little mini-series here for VisitElyMN.com to help you get to know some of the cool Ely businesses. Ely is my second home. It is the place where I wrote the True North Cabin cookbook, and it's very near and dear to my heart. And you may have heard that theyHave experienced some wildfires in the Boundary Waters Canoe area and around that area this summer. As of this recording, I think the fires are about 40 to 50% contained. Some of the evacuation areas have been lifted. And the town has just really done a great job of keeping people informed and safe. And I'm here today with Jordan Stocks. She is from Piragis Outfitters.And she particularly runs the bookstore that opened gosh, it was last summer already, wasn't it, Jordyn?Jordyn Stocks (00:59.77)Yes, yeah. So in the new space, we've been there since last May, but the bookstore itself has been around in some version for over 20 years now. So it'sStephanie Hansen (01:11.286)So what happened is is there was in the Piragis store, there was the bookstore on the second level, and they used to have another building down the street that they did some surplus kind of sales, and they've merged a lot of that together inside this building. And then you guys have paddle boards and canoes also across the street. Piragis sort of owns this corner that has a lot of fun stuff going on in Ely andI know that with the boundary waters permits being canceled and just opening up more recently to daytime. And I imagine we'll get some more areas that'll open up here as the summer progresses. Has it been a hard time for you guys at the store?Jordyn Stocks (01:54.437)It's it's yeah, it's been a little bit different. It's been a little quieter as you can imagine, in outfitting particularly without having the boundary waters open. We've definitely seen some slowdown in traffic there.Stephanie Hansen (02:07.315)And when you think about the bookstore, yeah. WhatJordyn Stocks (02:11.732)Yeah, the bookstore and the store have maintained like we've still been busy. We've still seen traffic. you know, not as busy as it would normally be. Blueberry festival would have been this weekend, as you know. that didn't happen. But yeah, overall it's still been we're hanging in there. It's still been still been a good weekend, but yeah, quieter.Stephanie Hansen (02:35.286)It's a good example of how smart it is for businesses to kind of silo to. Like, you know, you start with one thing that maybe is your core competency, but then to support the business through non-trip times, you know, you've got the clothing store and then you add the bookstore, which is kind of a year-round service business for the town in and of itself. It's cool to have so many different facets. And I know you guys sell online too and have a pretty big online following.Jordyn Stocks (02:43.473)Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it it it does help that we have a few different things going on with the the clothing and the gifts and the gear and the books and the online presence. So that is that's been nice to have all of that going on. And we've definitely seen an uptick in in online sales and phone sales. So we're still shipping things out all over the country. We're still selling things to, you know, fire crews that are here, local folks that are out and about.People coming up for their cabins. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (03:37.612)What is your history with Paragas and how did you get started and land in the bookstore component?Jordyn Stocks (03:41.76)well I've been here. This is my third no 14th summer here. So I started out just kind of part-time evening shifts in the retail store. And then the bookstore manager at the time, she was she was moving on to I think she was going back home to Chicago or somewhere. So I was excited about the prospect of working with the books and here I am.Thirteen years later. Stephanie Hansen (04:13.856)And you are an Ely resident. Are there some features about Ely in particular or locations that you feel are like hidden gems?Jordyn Stocks (04:23.909)Yeah, so I was actually born and raised here. So I don't know, growing up I kind of kind of probably took a lot of it for granted, but now you know seeing it with fresh eyes, I guess through people who were coming here for the first time and you know coming here repeatedly year after year. one of one of my favorite things is the the Ely Witten Historical Society. They have this cute little museum in the Vermillion Community College.It's it's free, they just feel like goodwill donations, it's self guided. But there's a lot of really interesting historical things there. They have a lot of a lot of books that were written by local folks about history and like very specific history, like the Birdside River or Winton and the lumber industry. So that's pretty fun local history. I love the sedan mine. It's it's open now for underground tours again, which I'm excited to do this summer. I haven't goneYears. Yeah, we just went.Stephanie Hansen (05:19.384)I'm trying to think.I did go to the Sedan Underground mine tour. It's super cool. I think I went, gosh, probably when I first started coming to Ely. So maybe, you know, like gosh, 20 years ago, but it was so cool to be taken underground and through the mine system. And you went with a original miner. So they would talk about like what their day was like. That seems like a uniqueaspect of being in northeast Minnesota because mining was such a pillar of what was happening here at the time. And just like being underground and the constant temperature, that was one of the highlights of one of the things I've done in town.Jordyn Stocks (06:04.049)Yeah, yeah, it's a it's a very cool experience. I'd highly recommend doing that. but yeah, other than that, we've got a lot of great hiking trails, places to canoe and paddle and swim and do all those things. Berry picking. there's always something to do. We've got a great yeah, we've got a great you know, local art scene with the theater and art shows, we've got the movie theater.It's just a lot of fun stuff to do, always always something.Stephanie Hansen (06:38.12)Absolutely. And I know you guys for such a smallish town, your bookstore has like a big footprint. You guys have sold a ton of the True North Cabin cookbooks for me, so thank you. Also, the Moon Tav the Moon Tavern.Jordyn Stocks (06:49.271)Yeah. Yeah, of course. Thanks for coming and Yeah. Yeah, the the new one's been popular.Stephanie Hansen (06:58.964)And also Kurt's book, The Barrens, the Canoe Book has still done well too. So I wanna thank you for that. And I know you guys have a lot of artists that come through and authors that come through. When you're stocking the bookstore, like who would you say is your ideal customer that you're stocking for? Because you have like such a great romance section, a good kid section.Jordyn Stocks (07:21.126)Gosh, that that's a tough one. and it changes, I feel. a lot of people are just are looking for a book to take out on trip with them. Something something that's gonna like be engaging right away, something that's engrossing. they don't want a lot of heavy reading necessarily. But we've also got people who want, you know, the latest best sellers, the things they're seeing on on book talk or theYou know, Reese's book picks or all those things. but also a lot of people looking for local history, things about the area, just something to kind of you know put them in the mindset of being here in the woods. Yeah. A lot of lot of different customers, a lot of variety.Stephanie Hansen (08:07.916) I imagine maybe that changes as you get into the winter months too and it's more of the regular town folk versus the though you have a big visitors that come in the winter too, ‘cause we come and go snowmobiling, we cross country ski.Jordyn Stocks (08:19.792)Yeah. Yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah, there's definitely people coming all year round. It's it's of course, you know, a little a little more mellow in the winter, not as much foot traffic. But yeah, definitely a lot of locals will they'll special order things, you know, they heard about on the radio or they read about in the paper, or you know, they've gottheir favorite Minnesota authors having a new book come out and they want to pre-order that. So yeah.Stephanie Hansen (08:49.877)Yes. I love that. if you could pick three books that you think are kind of buzzy right now that you see that people are excited about, we'll we'll throw them out there because I think I'm always looking for new reads.Jordyn Stocks (09:05.333)Yeah, so people right now are looking for Theo of Golden. I'm blanking on the author's name, but they're also looking for the correspondent and Calamity Club. And then the newest William Kent Krueger book, which won't be out tillAugust, but you know, they're always looking for his latest. Stephanie Hansen (09:29.815)I think I'm the only one in the world that didn't love that Theo of Golden Book, but you know, everybody's got their own vibes.Jordyn Stocks (09:34.01)I haven't read it, but I've definitely that seems like a book that people are either loving or they're hating. There's no in-between on that, as far as I'm hearing.Stephanie Hansen (09:51.192)I feel like that's also what is the name of the book? And I bought it at your store about the social media influencer who gets dropped into the eighteen hundreds.Jordyn Stocks (10:00.429)Yesteryear. That one's been really popular too. Yeah, that's another love it or hate it one. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (10:02.347)Yes. Another book that I yes, like I totally hate read that book and read the whole thing and hated it, but kept going. It it was, you know how sometimes you don't love a book, but it's compelling enough to keep reading and sort of see what happens at the end.it's fascinating, I think, that that book got so much traction. But I don't know, like I I love the diversity of what you guys offer there. You have a ton of local too, like Abby Yaminez. I know you have a large section for her romance books. And romance is a big seller.Jordyn Stocks (10:36.246)We do. Yep. It is. We never used to carry much of it or like have much of a demand for it, but it's been like flying off the shelves lately. I I don't I don't know what it is, but and and that's not a genre that I typically read. So I I've been relying a lot on like s like coworker and customer recommendations, which has been fun. .Stephanie Hansen (11:09.793)It for your personal life, like you probably have to read a lot of books. Like how many books do you think you read in a month?Jordyn Stocks (11:17.462)And I I don't know. I also listen to a lot of books, but I don't know how many I read in a month. Probably like half a dozen, maybe. I don't I don't really know. I doStephanie Hansen (11:31.064)That's a lot. I listen to people talk about, you know, is listening to a book the same as reading or does it count? It's like who's keeping score number one? And yes, it counts. when you can think of a book that is narrated by someone that really makes it come alive, like I just listened to Whistler by Ann Patchett, which I don't know if I would have liked that book as much if she hadn't read it.Jordyn Stocks (11:58.966)Yeah, I totally get that. I I listen to more nonfiction, more memoirs and things, and I especially love when the author reads it. Like David Sederis will read his own, like Nick Offerman reads his own. They're both really great to listen to. And it's just I don't know, it it I think it brings a lot more to it in that circumstance. So but yeah. before we break here, I do want to mention that you guys have the catalog. And in the catalog are you have a lot of books in the catalog, a lot of the cookbooks, the seasonal books, there's also gear.Jordyn Stocks (13:16.393)We do. We do, yeah, and we have the website as well that's fully shoppable, the Boundary Waters catalog website. there's I mean certainly more than what was in the catalog, but not not as much as in the store. But there is quite a variety there and I'm I'm always happy to special order things too if someone's looking for something that they're not seeing in the store oron the website that's happy to look for things. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (13:43.949)That's good to know. That's good to know because I know there's been a lot of interest in supporting Ely in particular. I'm going to link there's a fund that's been established that the United Way of Northeastern Minnesota is putting together and there's three pillars that you can donate to. One is nonprofits, one is Ely specific small business, which I appreciate. And also there is an opportunity to donate to the Wildfire Fund. SoI will put that in the show notes. Anything you want people to know specifically about Ely before we break?Jordyn Stocks (14:15.351)Great.gosh. it's just it's just such a great place to to live and to visit. There's you know great people here. Just the way you know you've mentioned people have been showing up for one another and supporting people during this just weird, uncertain wildfire time. It's it's been really cool. It's just a great place to be. Lots, yeah.Stephanie Hansen (14:42.423)I think so too. We're lucky.

Whether you are looking for a place to stay, a delicious meal, a hiking trail, or an immersion experience, we have businesses ready to meet your needs.Stephanie Hansen (00:00.824)Hello, everybody, and welcome to Dishing with Stephanie's Dish, the podcast where we talk to people in the food space, but I also talk to other people too. And I've been doing a little mini-series here for VisitElyMN.com to help you get to know some of the cool Ely businesses. Ely is my second home. It is the place where I wrote the True North Cabin cookbook, and it's very near and dear to my heart. And you may have heard that theyHave experienced some wildfires in the Boundary Waters Canoe area and around that area this summer. As of this recording, I think the fires are about 40 to 50% contained. Some of the evacuation areas have been lifted. And the town has just really done a great job of keeping people informed and safe. And I'm here today with Jordan Stocks. She is from Piragis Outfitters.And she particularly runs the bookstore that opened gosh, it was last summer already, wasn't it, Jordyn?Jordyn Stocks (00:59.77)Yes, yeah. So in the new space, we've been there since last May, but the bookstore itself has been around in some version for over 20 years now. So it'sStephanie Hansen (01:11.286)So what happened is is there was in the Piragis store, there was the bookstore on the second level, and they used to have another building down the street that they did some surplus kind of sales, and they've merged a lot of that together inside this building. And then you guys have paddle boards and canoes also across the street. Piragis sort of owns this corner that has a lot of fun stuff going on in Ely andI know that with the boundary waters permits being canceled and just opening up more recently to daytime. And I imagine we'll get some more areas that'll open up here as the summer progresses. Has it been a hard time for you guys at the store?Jordyn Stocks (01:54.437)It's it's yeah, it's been a little bit different. It's been a little quieter as you can imagine, in outfitting particularly without having the boundary waters open. We've definitely seen some slowdown in traffic there.Stephanie Hansen (02:07.315)And when you think about the bookstore, yeah. WhatJordyn Stocks (02:11.732)Yeah, the bookstore and the store have maintained like we've still been busy. We've still seen traffic. you know, not as busy as it would normally be. Blueberry festival would have been this weekend, as you know. that didn't happen. But yeah, overall it's still been we're hanging in there. It's still been still been a good weekend, but yeah, quieter.Stephanie Hansen (02:35.286)It's a good example of how smart it is for businesses to kind of silo to. Like, you know, you start with one thing that maybe is your core competency, but then to support the business through non-trip times, you know, you've got the clothing store and then you add the bookstore, which is kind of a year-round service business for the town in and of itself. It's cool to have so many different facets. And I know you guys sell online too and have a pretty big online following.Jordyn Stocks (02:43.473)Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it it it does help that we have a few different things going on with the the clothing and the gifts and the gear and the books and the online presence. So that is that's been nice to have all of that going on. And we've definitely seen an uptick in in online sales and phone sales. So we're still shipping things out all over the country. We're still selling things to, you know, fire crews that are here, local folks that are out and about.People coming up for their cabins. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (03:37.612)What is your history with Paragas and how did you get started and land in the bookstore component?Jordyn Stocks (03:41.76)well I've been here. This is my third no 14th summer here. So I started out just kind of part-time evening shifts in the retail store. And then the bookstore manager at the time, she was she was moving on to I think she was going back home to Chicago or somewhere. So I was excited about the prospect of working with the books and here I am.Thirteen years later. Stephanie Hansen (04:13.856)And you are an Ely resident. Are there some features about Ely in particular or locations that you feel are like hidden gems?Jordyn Stocks (04:23.909)Yeah, so I was actually born and raised here. So I don't know, growing up I kind of kind of probably took a lot of it for granted, but now you know seeing it with fresh eyes, I guess through people who were coming here for the first time and you know coming here repeatedly year after year. one of one of my favorite things is the the Ely Witten Historical Society. They have this cute little museum in the Vermillion Community College.It's it's free, they just feel like goodwill donations, it's self guided. But there's a lot of really interesting historical things there. They have a lot of a lot of books that were written by local folks about history and like very specific history, like the Birdside River or Winton and the lumber industry. So that's pretty fun local history. I love the sedan mine. It's it's open now for underground tours again, which I'm excited to do this summer. I haven't goneYears. Yeah, we just went.Stephanie Hansen (05:19.384)I'm trying to think.I did go to the Sedan Underground mine tour. It's super cool. I think I went, gosh, probably when I first started coming to Ely. So maybe, you know, like gosh, 20 years ago, but it was so cool to be taken underground and through the mine system. And you went with a original miner. So they would talk about like what their day was like. That seems like a uniqueaspect of being in northeast Minnesota because mining was such a pillar of what was happening here at the time. And just like being underground and the constant temperature, that was one of the highlights of one of the things I've done in town.Jordyn Stocks (06:04.049)Yeah, yeah, it's a it's a very cool experience. I'd highly recommend doing that. but yeah, other than that, we've got a lot of great hiking trails, places to canoe and paddle and swim and do all those things. Berry picking. there's always something to do. We've got a great yeah, we've got a great you know, local art scene with the theater and art shows, we've got the movie theater.It's just a lot of fun stuff to do, always always something.Stephanie Hansen (06:38.12)Absolutely. And I know you guys for such a smallish town, your bookstore has like a big footprint. You guys have sold a ton of the True North Cabin cookbooks for me, so thank you. Also, the Moon Tav the Moon Tavern.Jordyn Stocks (06:49.271)Yeah. Yeah, of course. Thanks for coming and Yeah. Yeah, the the new one's been popular.Stephanie Hansen (06:58.964)And also Kurt's book, The Barrens, the Canoe Book has still done well too. So I wanna thank you for that. And I know you guys have a lot of artists that come through and authors that come through. When you're stocking the bookstore, like who would you say is your ideal customer that you're stocking for? Because you have like such a great romance section, a good kid section.Jordyn Stocks (07:21.126)Gosh, that that's a tough one. and it changes, I feel. a lot of people are just are looking for a book to take out on trip with them. Something something that's gonna like be engaging right away, something that's engrossing. they don't want a lot of heavy reading necessarily. But we've also got people who want, you know, the latest best sellers, the things they're seeing on on book talk or theYou know, Reese's book picks or all those things. but also a lot of people looking for local history, things about the area, just something to kind of you know put them in the mindset of being here in the woods. Yeah. A lot of lot of different customers, a lot of variety.Stephanie Hansen (08:07.916) I imagine maybe that changes as you get into the winter months too and it's more of the regular town folk versus the though you have a big visitors that come in the winter too, ‘cause we come and go snowmobiling, we cross country ski.Jordyn Stocks (08:19.792)Yeah. Yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah, there's definitely people coming all year round. It's it's of course, you know, a little a little more mellow in the winter, not as much foot traffic. But yeah, definitely a lot of locals will they'll special order things, you know, they heard about on the radio or they read about in the paper, or you know, they've gottheir favorite Minnesota authors having a new book come out and they want to pre-order that. So yeah.Stephanie Hansen (08:49.877)Yes. I love that. if you could pick three books that you think are kind of buzzy right now that you see that people are excited about, we'll we'll throw them out there because I think I'm always looking for new reads.Jordyn Stocks (09:05.333)Yeah, so people right now are looking for Theo of Golden. I'm blanking on the author's name, but they're also looking for the correspondent and Calamity Club. And then the newest William Kent Krueger book, which won't be out tillAugust, but you know, they're always looking for his latest. Stephanie Hansen (09:29.815)I think I'm the only one in the world that didn't love that Theo of Golden Book, but you know, everybody's got their own vibes.Jordyn Stocks (09:34.01)I haven't read it, but I've definitely that seems like a book that people are either loving or they're hating. There's no in-between on that, as far as I'm hearing.Stephanie Hansen (09:51.192)I feel like that's also what is the name of the book? And I bought it at your store about the social media influencer who gets dropped into the eighteen hundreds.Jordyn Stocks (10:00.429)Yesteryear. That one's been really popular too. Yeah, that's another love it or hate it one. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (10:02.347)Yes. Another book that I yes, like I totally hate read that book and read the whole thing and hated it, but kept going. It it was, you know how sometimes you don't love a book, but it's compelling enough to keep reading and sort of see what happens at the end.it's fascinating, I think, that that book got so much traction. But I don't know, like I I love the diversity of what you guys offer there. You have a ton of local too, like Abby Yaminez. I know you have a large section for her romance books. And romance is a big seller.Jordyn Stocks (10:36.246)We do. Yep. It is. We never used to carry much of it or like have much of a demand for it, but it's been like flying off the shelves lately. I I don't I don't know what it is, but and and that's not a genre that I typically read. So I I've been relying a lot on like s like coworker and customer recommendations, which has been fun. .Stephanie Hansen (11:09.793)It for your personal life, like you probably have to read a lot of books. Like how many books do you think you read in a month?Jordyn Stocks (11:17.462)And I I don't know. I also listen to a lot of books, but I don't know how many I read in a month. Probably like half a dozen, maybe. I don't I don't really know. I doStephanie Hansen (11:31.064)That's a lot. I listen to people talk about, you know, is listening to a book the same as reading or does it count? It's like who's keeping score number one? And yes, it counts. when you can think of a book that is narrated by someone that really makes it come alive, like I just listened to Whistler by Ann Patchett, which I don't know if I would have liked that book as much if she hadn't read it.Jordyn Stocks (11:58.966)Yeah, I totally get that. I I listen to more nonfiction, more memoirs and things, and I especially love when the author reads it. Like David Sederis will read his own, like Nick Offerman reads his own. They're both really great to listen to. And it's just I don't know, it it I think it brings a lot more to it in that circumstance. So but yeah. before we break here, I do want to mention that you guys have the catalog. And in the catalog are you have a lot of books in the catalog, a lot of the cookbooks, the seasonal books, there's also gear.Jordyn Stocks (13:16.393)We do. We do, yeah, and we have the website as well that's fully shoppable, the Boundary Waters catalog website. there's I mean certainly more than what was in the catalog, but not not as much as in the store. But there is quite a variety there and I'm I'm always happy to special order things too if someone's looking for something that they're not seeing in the store oron the website that's happy to look for things. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen (13:43.949)That's good to know. That's good to know because I know there's been a lot of interest in supporting Ely in particular.

In 1986 the North and West End neighborhoods of Tacoma trusted their parks. That was, until two girls disappeared from public parks in Tacoma, Washington within a few miles and a few months of each other, both stories ending in tragedy. Twelve-year-old Michella Welch disappeared from Puget Park on a bright Wednesday afternoon in March. Thirteen-year-old Jennifer Bastian vanished from Point Defiance Park while riding her brand-new Schwinn bike that same year in August.For nearly three decades, investigators believed the girls had been killed by the same man. The circumstances were too similar to imagine otherwise. As Jennifer's mother Pattie put it, there couldn't possibly be two monsters in Tacoma. And yet – there were. In this episode we walk through what happened to Michella and Jenni, the assumption that shaped multiple decades of the investigation, the evidence that finally broke that assumption apart, and the two very different paths that led to justice.Their cases also led to Jennifer & Michella's Law – the 2019 Washington legislation that expanded mandatory DNA collection for convicted felons and now stands as a legislative legacy for both girls. Michella Welch and Jennifer Bastian were just little girls who should have had the chance to grow up. Both were blonde, blue-eyed girls on their bikes, doing exactly what kids had always been trusted to do – enjoying their local park. If the story moves you, we'd love it if you shared the episode - it helps the show, and most importantly these two girls deserve to be remembered by name.Visit our website!

SummaryAmy Wester, managing partner at Biscuit Head, returns after three years to talk about surviving a brutal stretch: COVID, then Hurricane Helene in September 2024, which destroyed their Swannanoa cannery and left Asheville without running water for 52 days. She describes hauling and boiling water in buckets, switching to single-use containers and three compartment sinks, opening an evening concept just so staff could earn hours, and feeding desperate neighbors for free when cash was the only currency. Five straight years without a clean recovery, and this is finally the year it feels good again. Tourism is approaching pre-Helene numbers and all four locations are still open. Amy credits an owner group that still works weekends, answers the phone at any hour, admits mistakes out loud, and retrains constantly, plus a hyper-local Asheville restaurant community that lent each other supplies and information instead of competing.Key takeawaysShow up. The partners still work shifts and never ask staff to do what they won't do themselves.Answer the phone. Every employee has all three partners' cell numbers and they use them.Culture beats scale. They had franchise manuals half written when COVID hit and walked away from the idea.Distance is the real growth constraint. Greenville is 90 minutes out and standards slip when they can't get there.Retraining is permanent, not onboarding. Thirteen year employees still get reminders.Let staff flag a bad day and move off the register instead of pushing through it.Owners admit their own mistakes first so employees stop hiding theirs.Know which decisions are open to staff input and which are the owners' alone.Guests can send anything back. Free swap, taste every gravy, no argument.Independent restaurants act as first responders, and that goodwill comes back around.
It's Wednesday, July 29th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus India looking to restrict foreign funding of Christian groups India's Parliament is considering a bill to restrict foreign funding of Christian and other faith-based groups. The measure would allow authorities to seize the assets of such organizations if their registration is canceled. Officials have already canceled the registrations of over 22,000 non-governmental organizations. Republican Congressman Chris Smith of New Jersey is calling on the Trump administration to address this issue with India. He wrote, “If adopted, the bill would sharply expand the ability of the Indian state to seize the property and assets of groups that receive foreign funding — the vast majority of these being Christian churches and charities, such as hospitals and schools.” According to Open Doors, India is the 12th worst country worldwide for the persecution of Christians. In John 10:10, Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Japanese island A 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Japan's southern island of Kyushu yesterday. The quake caused a collapse at a shopping mall, killing several people. Dozens of people are missing or injured. The Fire and Disaster Management Agency advised over 260,000 people to evacuate the area. Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority reported no issues with nearby nuclear power plants. Please pray that God would comfort the Japanese families of those who have died and restore those who have been injured. Senate confirmed Jay Clayton as Director of National Intelligence The U.S. Senate voted on July 28 to confirm Jay Clayton, who was nominated by President Donald Trump to be the next Director of National Intelligence, reports The Epoch Times. Clayton's confirmation by the Senate came after the Senate Intelligence Committee voted 9–8 along party lines on July 21 to advance his nomination. He was ultimately confirmed with 51 senators' support to 47 voting against. SENATOR: “On this vote, the yeas are 51, the nays are 47, and the nomination is confirmed. And the president will be immediately notified of the Senate's action.” Previously, Jay Clayton served as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York as well as the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission under President Trump's first administration. Justice Department affirmed parents' right to disciple children The United States Justice Department issued religious liberty guidance to all executive departments and agencies last week. The memo reaffirmed many religious freedom protections in federal law. It also added a new piece of guidance. The memo stated, “Parents have the right to direct the religious upbringing and education of their children. This right extends beyond a mere right to teach religion in the confines of one's home and encompasses the choices parents make for their children outside the home.” In Deuteronomy 6:6-7, God said, “These words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” Drinking water in three cities contained Abortion Kill Pill A new peer-reviewed study found that the drinking water in multiple cities contained the Abortion Kill Pill called Mifepristone. Those cities include Austin, Texas; Blacksburg, Virginia; and Carbondale, Illinois. For years, pro-life groups have been calling on the Environmental Protection Agency to track Mifepristone. Kristan Hawkins with Students for Life of America stated, “A study inspired by [our] clean water advocacy shows that our concerns are valid. In three cities where water was tested, the active metabolites of Mifepristone, the Chemical Abortion Pill, were in the water. We need the EPA to nationalize this examination, especially in light of so many struggling with infertility.” About 700,000 chemical abortions each year send long-lasting abortion drugs and human remains into America's wastewater systems. Mifepristone blocks progesterone, thus starving the baby. This drug has long-lasting metabolites that remain in the water because the water treatment plants are generally not capable of filtering out these chemicals. GOP Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois has introduced the Clean Water for All Life Act. Appearing on EWTN, Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life, said this. HAWKINS: “Mothers are taking these pills at home, in their dormitories, and when they are told when the cramping gets too severe to go on the toilet and to keep flushing and not to look -- meaning chemically tainted placenta and blood, as well as the human remains of our child, are being flushed in our waterways. And when you think about the fact that you're talking over 700,000 abortions a year are happening this way, this means, at a minimum, 50 tons of chemically-tainted blood and placenta are being flushed down our toilets with human remains every year, laced with anti-progesterone metabolites, which, shockingly, after they pass through the mother's body, starve the child and kill the child, do not go inactive. “They actually remain active as they pass through our water system. And is what we've tested across the country is that this water -- it's actually laced with these metabolites before they get to the wastewater treatment plant, after it passes through the wastewater treatment plant, and now we've proven it's actually in the tap water.” Through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com, you can send faxes to Congress and demand they take action to stop this public health threat. Or you can contact your two U.S. Senators and your U.S. Congressman by email, phone or letter to the district office nearest you. (Because mail sent to the D.C. offices of U.S. Senators and U.S. Congressmen has to go through so many scans, it can take months to get there). Voters want political candidates to address the economy The U.S. midterm elections are coming up in November. Pew Research surveyed voters on what issues they want candidates to address. The top issue was the economy. Voters are especially concerned about affordability and the cost of living. Americans are evenly divided over which party they agree with on economic policies. If the election were held today, 43 percent of respondents said they would back a Democrat candidate for Congress. Meanwhile, 37 percent said they would back a Republican. Younger churchgoers want more liturgy in worship service Lifeway Research released a survey on liturgy in worship services at Protestant churches. Liturgies can include elements like set prayers, readings, and formal patterns. Forty-two percent of churchgoers say their church has some of the liturgical style. Twenty-seven percent say they have no liturgical style. And 24 percent say they have a very liturgical style. Seventy-five percent of respondents said they are satisfied with the amount of liturgy at their church. Thirteen percent want more liturgy, while five percent want less. Surprisingly, younger generations are more likely to want their church to include more liturgy. California lifeguard saved 10-year-old boy NBC Bay Area reports a lifeguard saved the life of a 10-year-old boy at a California beach this week. Waves were overwhelming the boy at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz. A 16-year-old lifeguard rushed into the water to save him. Other joined in as well. The dramatic rescue drew the attention of President Donald Trump. He wrote on X, “We're going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it!” Worldview listeners weigh in from Oregon and North Carolina Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes newscast, Carole Crowley in Damascus, Oregon wrote, “Adam, I love starting my day with The Worldview. I love praying for specific needs of people throughout the world, using God's Word! Thank you so much for your love and dedication to our Lord and bringing the needs of others to us.” Julie Scott in Charlotte, North Carolina, who attached a picture of her addressed letter, said, “Adam, I wanted to show you that, as a result of your July 9th newscast, I wrote a note to Suzanne McCormick, President of the Young Men's Christian Association, objecting to the YMCA allowing men, pretending to be women, in women's bathrooms and locker rooms. In fact, I grabbed several note cards and put stamps and our return address sticker on them so I am poised for action! [You can join her and send a letter: Suzanne McCormick, President, Young Men's Christian Association, 101 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606.] “I also phoned the office of my U.S. Congressman and asked him to vote to continue to defund the abortion giant Planned Parenthood. Thank you for including the link.” Minnesota college student gave $500 to help fund newscast And Maylivia in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, whom I spoke with on the phone last night for 20 minutes, wrote, “Adam, my family and I listen to The Worldview every morning. If I'm around when my dad, also named Adam, is preparing and eating breakfast, we listen to it on repeat about six times, literally. He says he doesn't want to miss any of the details. Now, if he's already gone to work, I listen to it on my computer with the transcript, but only once. My mom and sister also listen as part of starting their day. We love having a concise wrap-up of the news, especially for updates on persecuted Christians. “Considering that my family uses it so much, I've decided to give $500. I am a college student, living at home, working part time. This money is partly from my savings and partly from my tutoring business. I was hesitant to give at first. But God laid it on my heart and reminded me that He can provide for all my needs and my parents are providing many of them for me right now! Thank you for your newscast. May God guide the team in His wisdom and remind you of the hope of the cross.” 19 Worldview listeners gave $7,597 And finally, by Tuesday night at 8:00pm Central, 19 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year. Our thanks to Kelly in Montgomery, Texas who gave $10, Cathy in Fate, Texas who gave $15, and Paul in Brush, Colorado who gave $25.

Thirteen people have died in southwest Japan following a magnitude six point eight earthquake that hit yesterday afternoon Japan time. Brian Gaynor is a Freelance Journalist in Japan and he joins Anton to give him the latest update
Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
A woman in a psychiatric crisis drove herself to a locked ward on New Year's Eve and checked herself in voluntarily. The malpractice complaint filed against her providers says she was not seen by a doctor for three days. She was discharged after five with no indication she was a danger to anyone. Three weeks later her three children were dead.Built around four clips from the prosecution's opening statement at Plymouth Superior Court, this breakdown follows ADA Shanan Buckingham's argument and tests it against the record.The state's premeditation theory rests on a clock and a fourteen-second phone call. Underneath it is a premise the prosecution never states directly: that organization proves a sound mind. The clinical literature on postpartum psychosis runs the other direction, and this episode goes through what it actually documents. Then the Massachusetts standard that gives the defense two doors and requires the Commonwealth to close both beyond a reasonable doubt.The provider record laid out in the civil complaints is where the case lives. Thirteen medications. Five prescribers, none holding the full picture. A referral that went unanswered. An appointment the day before that the state's opening skips entirely. And the prosecutor's own observation about Clancy's access to care, offered as proof of guilt, that may be the most damaging sentence about the system anyone said that morning.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What can a 173-mile pilgrimage teach a family about faith, resilience, and life together? Dave and Jll McLain join Pastor Nate on Together 4 Good to share how they walked the Camino de Santiago from Porto, Portugal, to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, with their four children. Along the way, aching feet, welcoming villages, fellow pilgrims, and small acts of generosity open into a conversation about family sabbaticals, resilience, faith milestones, and why shared challenges can make strangers feel like family.In This Episode• The Camino's Christian roots and its modern life as a global pilgrimage route• Why the McLains chose the Portuguese Way and walked 280 kilometers in 13 consecutive days• How physical challenge creates resilience, perspective, and lasting family memories• The scallop shell, pilgrim passport, and rituals that build connection along the way• How hospitality and generosity let entire communities participate in a pilgrimageKey Takeaways• Hard things become part of our toolbox. Completing a difficult journey gives us evidence that we can face the next challenge.• Pilgrimage is communal. The marked path, shared symbols, fellow travelers, and hospitality of local communities remind us that faith is never practiced alone.• Milestones matter. Camino stamps and certificates echo the faith markers—baptism, confirmation, a first Bible—that help us remember where we have been.• Travel and time together are intentional investments. Encountering other cultures can nurture empathy while meaningful family experiences strengthen relationships into adulthood.Chapters00:00 Coming up — A Christian pilgrimage through Portugal and Spain—and what it reveals about faith and parenting.01:22 What is the Camino? — Dave traces the tradition of the Camino de Santiago and its modern revival.04:40 Following the Way — Jll explains the route markers, pilgrim infrastructure, and villages that welcome walkers.10:55 A family rhythm of sabbatical — Dave shares how extended family adventures grew from a commitment to work to live.14:42 Why this journey, why now — Their oldest daughter's idea becomes an invitation for the whole family.16:45 Planning lightly — Experienced travelers, last-minute gear, and a willingness to figure things out together.17:52 Thirteen days and 173 miles — The physical reality of walking about 14 miles a day—and when it finally began to feel possible.20:08 We can do hard things — Challenge, shared struggle, and the experiences that equip children for real life.22:00 Going through it — Why pilgrimage is not a resort experience, and how difficult moments can reshape us.24:44 The scallop shell — A visible sign of belonging creates camaraderie and practical care among pilgrims.27:26 Arriving in Santiago — The cathedral square, pilgrim's Mass, passport stamps, and certificates of completion.31:11 Generosity along the path — A box of plums becomes a picture of hospitality offered without recognition or thanks.32:39 A microcosm of faith — The Camino reflects the highs, lows, community, and milestones of a life of faith.33:43 Travel and empathy — Shared meals and cross-cultural experiences help form curiosity, tolerance, and love.34:58 Choosing time with adult children — Dave and Jll reflect on the privilege, sacrifice, and joy of saying yes to time together.
95 Years of Waiting by Autumn Dickson I'm going to give you a bit of a timeline to help you follow what is going on with these chapters. The bible is not chronological, and so it can get confusing. There are different names for the same people, and different names for the same ethnicity of people. Ezra also jumps around which isn't particularly helpful. So here is a brief timeline to help you keep track of where we're at. There are three main waves of Jews returning to Jerusalem. Context: Babylonians were the ones who took Jews away from their homeland. Cyrus easily defeats Babylon, and now Persia is in charge with a more tolerant hand. The first wave happens with Zerubbabel, a Jewish governor, and Jeshua (Joshua) is the priest who helps with the religious portion of returning to Jerusalem. This happens under Cyrus, and the temple foundation is laid. About 50,000 people have returned, and they brought sacred temple treasures with them. Opposition stalls the rebuilding of the temple. Cyrus has a son, but he's not mentioned much and there is simply more stalling that occurs from local opposition. Then Darius takes over, and he finds Cyrus' decree to let the Jews go back and build. The work resumes. It is still Zerubbabel and Jeshua who are leading the rebuilding. The temple is completed, and Passover is celebrated. Haggai and Zechariah were prophets who became involved at this stage in urging the continuation of rebuilding. Xerxes comes onto the throne. He is also known as Ahasuerus. Jewish rapport is building in high places within Persia, and this is the king who marries Esther. Now we get our second wave of people returning to Jerusalem. Artaxerxes comes on to the throne. He is sympathetic to Jews, possibly influenced by Esther. Ezra is part of this second wave, and he goes and starts teaching the Law of Moses again. Unfortunately, letters of opposition once again stop the work. Then there is our third wave. Thirteen years later, Nehemiah gains sympathy from Artaxerxes. He is the cup-bearer, and the king notices Nehemiah is sad. He allows Nehemiah to go and build the wall (which affords great stability and protection to the Jews against all of the local opposition). The king even gives Nehemiah resources to do so. Despite continued opposition, Nehemiah finishes the wall in 52 days. The people celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. This entire timeline, from the first wave of Jews under Cyrus to when Nehemiah finishes building the wall around Jerusalem, occurs over approximately 95 years. 95 years of waiting. There were 70 years of exile under Babylon, and then there was another 95 years of waiting until they truly got any momentum in rebuilding their home. Despite the decrees of kings, the Jews found their work halted again and again and again by local enemies, primarily the Samaritans who held long-standing rivalries with Judah. And maybe that's my message this week. The Lord is patient even when we're anxious to reach our happy ending. Maybe we keep finding moments where we've finally “made it” only to have things fall apart again. Perhaps we find ourselves in the trenches, and it feels like no one is listening. God knew exactly where His people were, and He was not as worried about rebuilding His temple as He was about rebuilding His people. After all, the temple isn't the end-all. The temple is a tool to get to the end-all: a redeemed House of Israel. Perhaps it's time to realign our goals with the Lord. I'm going to keep referring to the goal of “rebuilding the temple and walls of Jerusalem,” but you can insert whatever goals you're currently working towards. I'm sure it was discouraging for the Jews to face all of that opposition. I'm sure it was discouraging every time a page turned, and they thought it was “finally time.” Perhaps they kept thinking, “This is it,” only to get halted all over again. I wonder if they felt like they were taking one step forward and ten steps back. Interestingly enough, the Lord sees the entire process differently. Where you see ten steps back, He sees 11 steps in the correct direction for His goal. The Lord wasn't just rebuilding Jerusalem; He was rebuilding His people. And despite the fact that it likely made them feel broken down, those trials were an important part of their refining process. He was making them powerful by helping them face obstacle after obstacle. I can only imagine how much more they appreciated their home because of how much longer it took to rebuild it, and that was really the successful part for the Lord. They had a holy city, but more importantly, He had a people who loved their holy city. If you're struggling to find peace in the midst of the ups and downs of trying to find your “happy ending,” might I make a recommendation? Prayer. Prayer is not about changing the Lord's mind or getting yourself out of a situation. Prayer is about talking with the Lord so that you see the way that He sees. So turn to prayer; not just so you can ask Him to save you but so that you can see how He is actively working within your life. Perhaps He might even show you how the seeming setbacks are the exact stepping stones you need. He has a glorious goal in mind: you. I testify that the Lord remains with us through the ups and downs. I testify that even when we're doing His work, He purposefully allows for opposition because opposition is an important ingredient for His goal. He can't accomplish His goal without that opposition so don't despair. It's all part of the plan. He loves you. He's got this. He knows exactly what He's doing.

Lindsay Clancy was intubated in a hospital bed. Her three children were dead. She could not speak. She was handed an erasable whiteboard. And the first thing she communicated was a question that both sides of this case read completely differently.Her jury is now seated. Eighteen people in Plymouth Superior Court who have to answer one question: was she criminally responsible? Both sides agree she killed her children. The only dispute is her state of mind.The prosecution frames this as calculated premeditation. She checked Apple Maps to time her husband's errand. She allegedly strangled all three children in the window she created. She jumped from a second-story window and survived.The defense frames this as medical catastrophe. Thirteen psychiatric medications prescribed in four months. Her husband told doctors she had become a zombie. One prescriber did not know what another was doing. She asked for help over and over and the system ignored her.Patrick Clancy is on both sides' witness lists. The prosecution will call him first. He sued her doctors for malpractice. He told the press he was not married to a monster. He forgave her publicly. Massachusetts places the burden on the Commonwealth to prove sanity beyond a reasonable doubt.Andrea Yates drowned five children during a postpartum psychotic episode. A Texas jury convicted her. A second jury acquitted her on retrial. If the first Yates jury got it wrong when the crime was too horrific to sit with, this jury is staring down the same question with the same impossible set of facts.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to examine the whiteboard question, what it tells the jury about consciousness of guilt versus medical shock, the Yates parallel, and whether this prosecution can clear its burden.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

After her children died, Lindsay Clancy was in a hospital bed with a tube down her throat. She could not speak. She was given an erasable whiteboard. The first thing she wrote on that whiteboard was a question. It is one of the most contested moments in this entire case.Her jury is seated. Eighteen people in Plymouth Superior Court will have to decide whether a mother who was on thirteen psychiatric medications was criminally responsible when she killed her three children. Both sides stipulate that she did it. The fight is over whether she was sane.The prosecution argues premeditation. She used Apple Maps to calculate how long her husband would be gone. She allegedly strangled all three children during that window and then attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window.The defense argues systemic failure. Thirteen medications in four months. Zoloft, Prozac, Klonopin, Seroquel, Valium, Ambien. Her husband Patrick told the doctors she had turned into a zombie. No one coordinated care.Patrick Clancy is expected to testify first for the prosecution. He filed a malpractice suit against her doctors. He told a reporter he was not married to a monster. Under Massachusetts law, the prosecution must prove she was sane beyond a reasonable doubt.Andrea Yates was convicted, then acquitted at retrial, under a Texas standard that required the defense to prove insanity. Massachusetts flips the burden. The prosecution has to prove Lindsay Clancy was sane beyond a reasonable doubt. That is a higher bar to clear, and the medical record is not going to make it easier.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the whiteboard question, the risk in calling Patrick Clancy as the prosecution's first witness, the Andrea Yates parallel, and what this prosecution needs to survive its burden.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The day before Lindsay Clancy killed her three children, her medication was increased. Nobody has fully explained why that decision was made, or by whom. She'd already been on roughly thirteen different psychiatric drugs across about four months. Her own malpractice lawsuit describes that final dose increase, paired with a night without sleep, in the hours before Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, died in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. She'd checked herself into a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve after telling her husband she was having thoughts of hurting her children. She was discharged. Nineteen days later, the children were dead. Jury selection began July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court. That same morning, before a single juror was seated, prosecutors moved to challenge her defense experts, the third motion in eleven days aimed at limiting her defense. Prosecutors had already dropped all three strangulation charges on July 9, calling them redundant, a move that erased any middle ground between the two remaining verdicts: life without parole, or not criminally responsible. On July 13, the judge blocked women who've survived postpartum psychosis from testifying about the illness in their own words. That leaves the jury with paper: prescription records, a dosage change, a malpractice complaint describing exactly how the medication was mishandled. Two jurors were seated by lunch. The trial is expected to run four to eight weeks. Patrick Clancy, her husband, is on the defense witness list. He's also suing her healthcare providers and has publicly asked people to forgive her. Thirteen drugs, one increase, one sleepless night, and a question nobody in that courtroom has fully answered yet.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Nolan Wells was last seen on Horn Island on the Fourth of July. Help wasn't requested for roughly thirteen hours. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College, out on the island with friends from Ocean Springs. Horn Island sits about ten miles off the Mississippi coast, uninhabited, no buildings, no fresh water, no service. On the holiday it's packed with boats until dark, and then every one of those boats turns back toward the mainland. His friends made it home. He didn't. A National Park Service ranger found his body in the water off the island's northwestern tip two mornings later, on July 6. Investigators say they believe Nolan drowned, but they've also said they're still working to determine exactly what happened out there in those missing hours. A friend has said he called the Coast Guard that night, and that Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, called the sheriff's office shortly after. What isn't clear is why so much time passed between the moment Nolan was last seen and the moment anyone outside that group of friends knew he was missing. The sheriff's office said early on there was no foul play, a line that landed before the public had any real answers to weigh it against. His cause and manner of death haven't been released. Some witnesses have reportedly been too scared to talk about what actually happened on that island. Attorney Ben Crump is now running an independent investigation for the family, and the district attorney says the case is headed to a grand jury. Thirteen hours is a long time to be missing on an island with no way to call for help. It's an even longer time for a mother to wait for answers she still doesn't have.

The Lindsay Clancy trial has begun. Both sides agree she killed her three children. What they cannot agree on is whether the woman who did it was criminally responsible — and neither can the audience.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, sits down with Tony Brueski to cover the complete clinical picture across three segments. The first examines what postpartum psychosis actually is — not the conflation with depression, not the baby blues myth, but the psychiatric emergency that involves delusions, hallucinations, and a break from reality invisible to the people around the person experiencing it. Lindsay's providers allegedly documented her reports of commanding voices as intrusive thoughts — two clinically distinct experiences that carry completely different treatment implications.The second segment follows the treatment timeline. Thirteen medications. Five providers. A husband begging the doctors to stop. A suicide hotline that said she did not qualify. A three-day wait in a hospital before seeing a clinician. A forensic evaluation that diagnosed Bipolar I only after the killings — meaning every antidepressant prescribed during those months may have been pushing her toward psychosis rather than away from it.The third segment tackles the public divide — why people split cleanly on this case, why the Apple Maps search reads as proof to both sides, why the judge blocked lay witnesses, and what Patrick Clancy meant when he said he was married to someone who got sick. Shavaun addresses what justice means when every outcome is a loss.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss the Lindsay Clancy murder trial.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A new guest services employee works a memorable first shift at the most exclusive resort in the galaxy. Genre: Science Fiction Excerpt:According to Lianne, searching for a lost pet was the best way for Rekha to quickly become familiar with the actual layout of the resort and to get her "sea legs." The bubble they were in didn't protect them completely from exotic particles, gravity waves, tidal forces, and other dangers of being so close to a black hole. Dangers that most of the people in the resort, including Rekha, didn't even half-understand. The Wheel of Fiction Turns.

At center, a black orb almost half surrounded by a pool of glowing white and yellow seen at a bias, angled from top left to bottom right. This pool is surrounded by a hazy ring of bright orange on the same plane. Fainter and thinner rings enclose the bright orange. Small bright spots are scattered among the rings. Darkness surrounds all. A wispy beam of light bursts out from the edge of the black orb, perpendicular to the plane of the rings. At bottom left, at the farthest ring, there is a small bubble. Watermark of "Storyfeather" along curve of outermost rings near bottom right.
Send us Fan MailThe first World Cup champion in history spoke Spanish — Uruguay, 1930. The Latino history of fútbol, from Aztec stone courts to the Estadio Azteca.Ask most people who won the very first World Cup and they'll say Brazil, Italy, or England. They're wrong. And the real answer says everything about us.This is a solo episode on the history of fútbol, the origins of the World Cup, and how deep Latino roots run in the biggest tournament on Earth.THE BALLGAME BEFORE THE BALLGAME Three thousand years before England wrote a single rule, our ancestors were already playing one of the oldest organized ball games on the planet. The Aztecs called it ōllamaliztli — from ōlli, their word for rubber. The Maya called it pok-ta-pok. They played with a solid rubber ball that could weigh up to nine pounds, in massive stone courts, with crowds in the stands. Mesoamericans invented the rubber ball. And this was no weekend kickaround — it was sacred, tied to how they understood the sun, life, and death. No hands, no feet. Hips, forearms, thighs. A version of that same game, ulama, is still played in Sinaloa, México, to this day.WHERE THE MODERN GAME REALLY CAME FROM England's original version was called mob football — entire villages dragging an inflated pig's bladder across miles of open country. Broken bones, brawls, deaths. Kings tried to ban it, and a preacher in the 1500s called it a bloody, murdering practice rather than a friendly sport. The most beautiful sport on the planet started as a legal riot between two towns. England's boarding schools — Eton, Harrow, Rugby — finally tamed it, and in 1863 they split the difference in a London tavern: the foot game became association football, the hands game became rugby. That's also where the word "soccer" comes from. Not America. England.DID FÚTBOL COME FROM CHINA? FIFA officially points to cuju, played in China more than two thousand years ago, as the oldest recorded version. Most historians call the connection a stretch. Their reasoning is simple: kicking a ball is just something humans do. It appeared independently in China, Greece, Rome, Japan — and right here in the Americas. Nobody handed the game down to us.HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN FIFA? No. For about forty years there was no global governing body at all. FIFA was founded in 1904 in Paris by seven European countries — and England, who wrote the rulebook, was too proud to join at first.URUGUAY 1930: THE FIRST WORLD CUP The first World Cup ever played wasn't in London, Rome, or Paris. It was in Uruguay. They were the best team on Earth, they were celebrating a hundred years of their constitution, they offered to pay for everything, and they built the Estadio Centenario from scratch. Thirteen teams played. Seven came from the Americas. The first goal in World Cup history was scored against México on opening day. And in the final, Uruguay beat Argentina 4-2 in front of 93,000 people to become the first world champions in history. The next day the whole country shut down for a national holiday.TEN TITLES Brazil has five World Cups, more than any nation on Earth. Argentina has three, including Maradona in 1986 and Messi in 2022. Uruguay has two, including the Maracanazo of 1950. Ten world championships in Latin America.AND AN HONEST LOOK AT FIFA FIFA's record off the field is ugly — the 2015 corruption arrests in Zürich, and right now, the ticket situation at the Estadio Azteca, with everyday Mexican fans priced out of watching their own national team on their own soil. That's not okay. But a boardroom in Switzerland doesn't get to rewrite what we built on the field.Follow the show, share this with somebody watching the games this summer, and leave a rating.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Before January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy had done everything a struggling mother is supposed to do. She sought treatment. She called hotlines. She admitted herself to hospitals. She filled every prescription. The defense argues the system that was supposed to save her chemically destabilized her instead.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott sits down with Tony Brueski to examine what was happening to Lindsay clinically — not the legal arguments but the treatment. Thirteen medications over four months from providers who allegedly were not sharing records or coordinating care. Three benzodiazepines. An antipsychotic her husband said made her ten thousand times worse. Dosages that went up when the family was begging for them to come down.Lindsay called a suicide hotline and was turned away. She spent three days in a psychiatric hospital before being evaluated. Her nurse practitioner allegedly never returned a follow-up call from a referring facility. The malpractice lawsuit filed by both Lindsay and Patrick Clancy describes a prescribing chain where each provider treated a fragment of her condition without seeing the whole picture.Shavaun walks through what thirteen medications do to a brain that was never properly diagnosed, why seventeen-minute appointments produce prescriptions instead of answers, and whether the pattern that failed Lindsay is unique to her case or standard practice in postpartum mental health care.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Most companies can show you a plan. Far fewer can explain the choices underneath it.In this Better Moment, Roger Martin strips strategy back to what it actually is: what you do, not what you say. He explains why a list of initiatives is not a strategy, how the question “What would have to be true?” can get a divided room moving, and why AI is much better at finding the average answer than a distinctive one.Thirteen minutes on the choices that make a strategy real.Listen to Roger's full Better at Work conversations:Part 1: https://shows.acast.com/betteratworkpodcast/episodes/the-worlds-1-strategy-thinker-on-why-planning-isnt-strategyPart 2: https://shows.acast.com/betteratworkpodcast/episodes/part-2-the-worlds-1-strategy-thinker-on-why-planning-isnt-stBook: Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works, by Roger Martin and A.G.

Claire Wolfson got her first dachshund at 20, became completely obsessed, and watched him get paralysed by the spinal condition that affects almost every sausage dog. The original plan was to design a supportive harness. That didn't work out. So her husband Chris drew a simple wiener dog silhouette, they slapped it on some beanies, and Bean Goods was born. That was 2011. Thirteen years, one capsule tee collection, two designers, and zero business education later - they're doing $140,000 to $150,000 a month. In this episode, Claire is refreshingly honest about what 13 years of slow, scrappy building actually looks like - the years of winging it on pricing and margins, the decade of running Instagram solo, the agency experiments that never paid off, and what finally shifted when she stopped doing it all alone. What you'll learn in this interview: How Bean Goods started with beanies, a logo, and no manufacturing experience - and why a capsule collection of 3 to 5 graphic tees in 2013 was the moment Claire knew it could be a real business Why starting on Instagram in 2012 - the year the platform launched - gave Bean Goods an early mover advantage in the dachshund community that still pays off today How Claire grew the brand's Instagram solo for nearly a decade with no social media strategy background, and what "consistency" actually looked like before it became a buzzword The pricing and margins reality of those early years: blanks at $3.50 to $8.50, one-colour screen prints, and absolutely no idea what a healthy margin looked like How they hit their first six-figure year around 2013 to 2014 using only organic Instagram and email marketing - and why MailChimp lasted for years before Klaviyo What eight years of just Claire and Chris doing everything actually cost them - and how getting their first intern in 2019 started to change the shape of the business The meta ads journey from 2017 onwards: a Facebook ads course built for service businesses, a short agency stint, and why she kept coming back to running them herself How Bean Goods went from inconsistent $68K to $80K months to consistently hitting $140K to $150K - and the specific ad account changes that drove it Why bundling is brand new territory for a 13-year-old brand - and what it says about how much room there still is to grow even when you think you know your business What it takes to build a team and a warehouse operation that can run for three weeks while you're in Europe - and why that, more than any revenue milestone, is the win Claire talks about most If you're building slowly and wondering whether the grind is ever going to compound into something real - Claire's story is the answer. Bean Goods didn't go viral. It didn't have a moment. It just kept going, kept learning, and kept showing up for a community of people who are, against all odds, extremely passionate about sausage dogs.

After 231 episodes, Morgan is finally tackling a topic she gets asked about constantly: how to actually run a witchy business. Thirteen years of Inked Goddess Creations, a brick-and-mortar store before that, and more lessons learned the hard way than she can count, all poured into one very honest episode. Morgan covers when to start (hint: the timing you're waiting for doesn't exist), how to research your competition without losing yourself to it, and who you actually need to hire versus what you can DIY. Then she gets into her pet peeves, the stuff that makes her want to bang her head against a wall when she sees other witchy businesses doing it. Photos, ingredients, sizing, word salad marketing, and one grammar mistake in particular that drives her up the wall. She also breaks down the four business pricing models every shop owner falls into, whether they realize it or not, gives her real take on social media and why followers are not the flex people think they are, and shares two customer stories that taught her the hard way that the customer is not always right. This one runs long because Morgan had a lot to say. If you've ever thought about starting a spiritual or witchy business, or you're in the middle of running one and wondering if you're doing it right, this episode is for you. New episodes drop every Wednesday. Paid Patreon members' exclusive bonus content this week: Morgan answers the most common business questions she's gotten over 13 years of running Inked Goddess Creations.

Anyone following the Lindsay Clancy trial is watching the jury selection and the witnesses. The real fight happened before any of it started, and most people missed it.Three moves in eleven days. On July 9, prosecutors dropped all three strangulation charges, eliminating the compromise space between the two remaining verdicts. On July 13, the judge blocked women who survived postpartum psychosis from telling the jury what command hallucinations feel like from the inside. On July 20, before the first juror entered the room, the prosecution moved to exclude defense experts entirely.Tony walks through what each of those moves does individually and what the three of them do together. In Massachusetts, once evidence of insanity is introduced, the burden flips — the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy was criminally responsible. That is why controlling what the jury hears is everything. Every witness who gets blocked is one fewer voice complicating the Commonwealth's proof.Also covered: Reddington's denied request to tell jurors about the reversed burden before opening statements, the eighteen-juror panel Sullivan is seating, and what the defense still has left after the bench was stripped. Patrick Clancy on both witness lists. The civil complaint. Thirteen medications. And seventeen-minute psychiatric appointments right up to the day before.Two jurors by lunch. Four to eight weeks. And the first fight was about who gets to talk.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the past four years, GM and now Tesla have tried to skirt recalls by arguing that illegally bright headlights are "inconsequential" to safety. California's new MyFirstEV program will provide instant rebates of up to $3,500 to first-time EV buyers, backed by $270 million in combined state and automaker funding. Thirteen major automakers—including Tesla, Ford, GM, Toyota, Rivian, and Lucid—have joined the initiative, which is expected to launch later this summer. After learning her Minnesota assisted-living community could not legally serve drinks at social events, Anita LeBrun, 82, helped change state law. Her successful campaign led to the passage of the "Grandparents' Happy Hour" law, allowing nursing homes and assisted-living facilities to serve alcohol at organized events without a liquor license, helping residents maintain traditions and social connections.

Thirteen unscripted moments from across the seasons, 2022 through 2025, exactly as they happened: why you are not what you think you are, ever. Why the people from your past hold the old idea of you in place. The 3am plans that felt so certain and never worked. Why uncertainty is not the thing blocking your life, it's the thing your life is made of. More collections are coming.

When a borrower stops hearing from their lender, they almost always assume the worst. They think the deal is dead. The file got lost. Someone forgot about them.Almost every time, the file is just in process.I have been in the mortgage business long enough to know that a quiet file is not a forgotten file. And I believe the same is true about what God is doing in your life right now.In this episode, I use the mortgage underwriting process as a framework for understanding what God is doing in your financial waiting season. It is the most practical illustration I have found of what the Bible says about seasons of silence, and it has changed the way I personally handle waiting.What we cover:What your file actually is. God knows every detail of your situation, your history, your capacity, your calling, your debts, your assets, and where He is taking you next. He does not process files halfway.What happens when a file goes quiet? In underwriting, silence means one of two things: conditions are being worked behind the scenes, or the lender is waiting on something from the borrower. God is the same way. The question to ask is not "has He forgotten me?" It is "what condition is being worked, and is there anything He is waiting on from me?"The biblical proof. Joseph is the anchor. Seventeen years old when God gave him the dream. Thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh. Thirteen years of conditions being cleared. The pit, Potiphar's house, the prison, the cupbearer who forgot him, none of it was random. All of it was underwriting.What to do while your file is being processed. Three moves: do not make desperate moves that blow up the file, respond to every condition God gives you promptly, and trust the processor.Scriptures referenced:Psalm 139:16, Lamentations 3:25, James 1:4Your file is not lost. It has never been lost. Stay in the process.If this episode hit you, the next one covers the one sin that makes every waiting season harder than it has to be, and most people never identify it as a sin.

Everyone remembers the Turpin rescue. Thirteen children freed from a California house of horrors, a seventeen-year-old hero who escaped through a window, a wave of national sympathy and donated money. Almost nobody remembers what came after: several of those children homeless, others placed in foster homes where they were harmed again, the donated funds tangled in bureaucracy while the kids who needed them struggled. The rescue was the headline. The aftermath was the story.Now sixteen Siders children are starting down the same road, and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins to map what's actually ahead of them. Brains that developed inside one room. Language that never fully formed. An eighteen-year-old who can't write her name entering a world that runs on paperwork. Scott explains why these children's recovery depends less on therapy hours and more on decisions being made right now — placements, sibling separation, and whether the system that failed to find them can manage not to fail them twice.She also renders an honest verdict on the "almost feral" label, what it clinically describes, and whether sixteen kids can outrun a word that introduced them to the world.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The youngest Siders child is eighteen months old. The oldest spent eighteen years inside that house. Between those two ages sits the most uncomfortable question in this entire case: where is the line — the age past which what was taken from a child can't fully be given back? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins live to answer it honestly, without the comforting version.Scott walks through what recovery actually looks like for children whose brains developed in total isolation. Some can't speak. Some can't read. All sixteen are now learning that the only reality they ever knew was a crime scene. She explains why the rescue — the moment the public celebrates and moves on from — is the single most destabilizing event of these children's lives, and what has to happen next for it to become a beginning instead of a second loss.The Turpin case hangs over everything. Thirteen children, national sympathy, donated millions — and several of them homeless or back in harmful placements within a few years. Scott lays out what went wrong there, what determines which children rebuild, and which of the sixteen Siders kids have the best and worst odds.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Do the math on the neighbor's claim. Twenty people. Thirteen hundred square feet. Six years. Zero children sighted — ever — from three doors away. No sounds, no laundry, no faces in windows, no kids in a yard, nothing. Either that house operated with a discipline that should terrify everyone, or the man's memory is doing him a favor. Tony and Robin stress-test the story, and it doesn't hold.The conversation widens to everything else that doesn't add up in Hamden's account of itself. A store clerk with years of detailed observations who never dialed a number. A family the AG says was hiding from all record-keeping — while paying property taxes, maintaining water service, and running air conditioners visible from the street. Somebody inside that house was competent. The bills prove it. Which means the squalor those children lived in wasn't neglect by incapacity. It was allocation. The adults chose where the resources went, and it wasn't to the sixteen kids in one room.The episode closes on the sharpest version of the question: when an entire town's story requires this many coincidences, at what point does "nobody knew" stop being an explanation and start being a confession?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
