This week's SNAP crisis is just a preview. Tucked inside the giant tax-cut and spending bill signed by President Donald Trump this summer are enormous cuts to SNAP: Who qualifies, how much they get, and who foots the bill for the program. That last part is a huge change.For the entire history of the food stamp program, the federal government has paid for all the benefits that go out. States pay part of the cost of administering it, but the food stamp money has come entirely from federal taxpayers. This bill shifts part of the costs to states.How much will states have to pay? It depends. The law ties the amount to a statistic called the Payment Error Rate -- the official measure of accuracy -- whether states are giving recipients either too much, or too little, in food stamp money.On today's show, we go to Oregon to meet the bureaucrats on the front lines of getting that error rate down -- and ask Governor Tina Kotek what's going to happen if they can't.Looking for hunger-relief resources?

Two parter today. Forget the fake cobwebs and the pumpkin punch – this is the real Halloween experience: history, mystery, and magic in the world's greatest treasure house. Guided by Marc – host of the award-nominated Extraordinary Stories of Britain podcast – you'll explore the British Museum after dark, when the crowds are gone and the marble whispers. From the Rosetta Stone to the Elgin Marbles, five thousand years of civilisation glow under the glass dome of the Great Court. Spine-tingling, civilised, unforgettable – it's Halloween the London Walks way. Followed by: Tucked behind Victoria Gate Lodge lies one of London's tiniest and most tender secrets – the Hyde Park Pet Cemetery. Born of a little girl's grief in 1881, it grew into a miniature city of marble headstones for beloved dogs, cats, parrots and rabbits. It's the Victorians at their most human – sentimental, heartfelt, and quietly profound. Join us among the mossy stones and whispering trees for a story of love, loss, and loyalty – a forgotten corner of London where even the ghosts have wagging tails.
Tucked into rural Thurston County, Bucoda is not just another small Northwest town. It carries a chilling legacy and transforms every October into Boo Coda, Washington's self-proclaimed haunted hotspot.In this episode, we uncover the ghost-laced story of Bucoda. From its original name, Seatco, meaning “evil spirit” or “devil” in a native language, to the dark remains of Washington's first territorial prison, the town carries whispers of tortured inmates, tragic accidents, and restless souls. We explore the haunted gym that hosts the annual Scary Nights Haunted House, the legends of ghostly figures along the train tracks, and how the living residents embrace Bucoda's eerie reputation as both a point of pride and a source of fear.Edited by Maxwell Holechek

Once a lively gathering spot filled with music, laughter, and late-night crowds, the roadhouse has become just as well-known for the spirits that never seemed to leave as it is for its long and colorful past. In this week's episode of the *222 Paranormal Podcast*, we dive headfirst into the chilling lore, eerie encounters, and paranormal investigations that surround this mysterious landmark. What makes the Rock Island Roadhouse stand out isn't just its vintage character or storied history—it's the countless reports of unexplained activity that continue to this day. For decades, patrons and staff alike have shared unsettling tales: phantom footsteps echoing across empty rooms, strange cold drafts sweeping through hallways, doors slamming shut on their own, and even full-bodied apparitions appearing in the shadows. Some guests report hearing disembodied voices whispering their names, while others claim to have felt unseen hands brush against their arms. Many investigators have walked into the building expecting just another ghost hunt, only to leave with bone-chilling stories of their own. But what is it about this location that stirs up so much spiritual energy? Some believe it is tied to the building's long history of music, bar fights, and tragedy—emotions forever imprinted on the walls. Others think the land itself carries an energy that amplifies paranormal activity. The Roadhouse has stood through the passage of time, hosting generations of locals, travelers, and performers, each leaving behind a piece of themselves. Perhaps some of those pieces never fully departed. During our conversation, we share firsthand accounts of investigations inside the Roadhouse, including startling EVP recordings, strange temperature drops, and unexplained flashes of light caught on camera. We also explore the stories of those who claim to have had life-changing encounters while visiting. Did they meet the spirit of a former bartender? A lost patron who never found their way home? Or perhaps something older, something darker, that predates the roadhouse altogether? As always, we look at the balance between folklore and fact. Every haunted building carries its legends, but when the same stories are repeated time and time again by unrelated witnesses, we have to wonder—could this be proof that the Rock Island Roadhouse truly is a hotspot for supernatural activity? Whether you're a seasoned investigator, a curious listener, or someone who just loves a good ghost story, this episode is packed with chilling details and thought-provoking questions. So pour yourself a drink, dim the lights, and join us as we unlock the mysteries of the **Rock Island Roadhouse**, one of the Midwest's most haunted establishments.

Tucked away in the historic apple-growing region of Oak Glen, California, lies Riley's Farm – a 760-acre colonial living history experience that's become a beloved family tradition for thousands of Southern California families. Join Coach Mikki and farm owner Jim Riley as they explore how this remarkable destination evolved from a family vacation property into an immersive historical experience hosting 80,000 schoolchildren annually.Riley shares the serendipitous journey that led to creating a place where history comes alive through Revolutionary War reenactments, colonial dinners, and seasonal harvests. What make extraordinary isn't just its apple orchards or homemade pies – it's the opportunity for families to actively participate in American heritage rather than passively consume entertainment. From pressing apple cider in traditional presses to dancing in converted barns after farm-to-table meals, visitors create memories that digital experiences simply can't replicate.The conversation reveals something deeper happening at Riley's Farm – what Jim describes as a "mystical connection" many feel to agricultural rhythms. "Most of us are only three or four generations removed from the soil," he explains, suggesting that farm experiences tap into cultural memories embedded in our collective consciousness. As families disconnect from technology and reconnect with tactile experiences, they often discover joy in simple pleasures and gain appreciation for the sacrifices made by earlier Americans who built our nation through tremendous hardship and heroism.Whether you're looking for a unique family outing, seeking to understand American history beyond textbooks, or simply craving the taste of freshly pressed cider and homemade caramel apple pie, Riley's Farm offers an authentic escape from modern life. As Coach Mikki attests from years of visits, "It leaves a memory that you'll cherish."

On a lively day in Old Town Winchester, the air buzzes with the energy of local businesses and the hum of community life. Tucked into Old Town Walking Mall in downtown Winchester, Worlds Away Escape offers a unique kind of adventure—one that challenges the mind, fosters teamwork, and brings a sense of playful mystery to the heart of downtown. In a recent episode of "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael sat down with Worlds Away Escape owner Ariel Pugh, and Brady Cloven, executive director at Friends of Old Town, to explore the story behind this local gem and its impact on the community. A Passion for Puzzles Becomes a Business Ariel's journey to escape room ownership began with a childhood steeped in games and puzzles, thanks to her parents' love for both video and board games. “I grew up playing video games with my dad, sometimes board games but more video games with him, and always board games and maybe some video games with my mom,” Ariel recalls. Her passion for problem-solving led her to try every escape room she could find, eventually helping to test new rooms at the Winchester location. When the previous owners decided to sell, Ariel—on leave from her corporate job—took the leap, supported by her then-fiancé (now husband), and became the new owner. The Art and Science of Escape Rooms For the uninitiated, Ariel describes escape rooms as immersive experiences that require participants to “think differently, have some fun, and distract themselves from life and work.” Each room is themed, offering a variety of puzzles—riddles, observation challenges, decoding tasks—set within a compelling narrative. Worlds Away Escape boasts six different themed rooms, each designed to intrigue and challenge groups of friends, families, or coworkers. Team-building is a major draw, with companies frequently booking sessions to foster collaboration and communication. “It's a very interesting observational experience,” Ariel notes, describing how group dynamics play out in the rooms. Whether it's a family with established roles or coworkers discovering new sides of each other, the escape room becomes a microcosm of teamwork and leadership. Behind the Scenes: Creativity, Community, and Logistics Running an escape room is as much about creativity as it is about logistics. Ariel shares that she aims to change out one room per year, a process that involves not just designing new puzzles but also redecorating to create a fully immersive environment. The escape room community, she says, is highly collaborative, with owners sharing ideas and supporting each other through online forums and direct consultation. Reservations are essential—walk-ins are rare due to the need for staff preparation and room resets between groups. Pricing is tiered, with larger groups enjoying a lower per-person rate, making it accessible for everything from kids' birthday parties to corporate outings. After each session, staff meticulously reset the rooms to ensure every group gets a fresh experience. A Hub for Downtown Winchester Worlds Away Escape is more than just a business; it's a vibrant part of Old Town Winchester's evolving landscape. Brady highlights the importance of having interactive attractions downtown, especially during off-seasons or inclement weather. “It doesn't all have to just be pretty buildings or antique shops,” he says. “It's fun to have something very interactive on the mall.” The conversation also touches on the broader revitalization efforts in Old Town, from public art projects to seasonal festivals and community events. Worlds Away Escape fits seamlessly into this tapestry, offering both locals and visitors a reason to explore, connect, and return. Looking Ahead As the episode wraps up, Ariel and Brady share upcoming events and encourage listeners to stay engaged with downtown happenings. With a new room in the works and a calendar full of local festivities, Worlds Away Escape continues to unlock new adventures for Winchester's community. For those seeking a memorable experience—whether you're a puzzle enthusiast, a team leader, or just looking for something different—Worlds Away Escape is ready to challenge and delight. As Ariel puts it, it's a labor of love, and one that's helping to make Old Town Winchester a destination for discovery.

Tucked away on a quiet hill in Staten Island stands the Kreischer Mansion—a Gothic relic with a past so grim it refuses to stay buried. In this episode, we revisit Portals to Hell and their unnerving investigation of this historic home where the line between residual memory and intelligent haunting blurs uncomfortably thin. As Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman peel back the layers of the mansion's sordid history—arson, mob murders, and lingering whispers in the walls—we break down the most chilling moments and debate what exactly is clinging to the house after all these years.

We’ll be right back Break 2: GWINNET FAIR STORY 4: EXPLORING GWINNETT'S HISTORY: Gwinnett County Veterans Memorial Museum preparing for 20th anniversary Did you know Gwinnett has its own veterans museum? Tucked inside the first floor of the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse in Lawrenceville, the Gwinnett County Veterans Memorial Museum (GCVMM) is a hidden gem. It’s free, volunteer-run, and packed with over 4,000 artifacts honoring those who’ve served since 1776. The museum’s story is as rich as its collection. It started in 1989 as a small military display, born from a mission to preserve the courthouse and the graves of eight soldiers from the Creek Indian War. After years of effort, it officially opened on Veterans Day 2005. Now, 20 years later, GCVMM is celebrating its anniversary on Nov. 11 from 3–6 p.m. at the Historic Courthouse. Expect patriotic demos, speakers, and tours. It’s free, it’s meaningful, and it’s a chance to honor history. See you there! STORY 5: From Ada Twist to Rosie Revere: New hands-on exhibit inspires young problem-solvers at Children's Museum of Atlanta Things are about to get very curious at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta. Starting Sept. 20, they’re unveiling a new traveling exhibit: “The Questioneers: Read. Question. Think. PLAY!”—a hands-on, life-sized dive into Andrea Beaty and David Roberts’ beloved book series. Kids (and let’s be honest, probably some adults too) can step into Miss Lila Greer’s classroom and join Ada Twist, Scientist; Rosie Revere, Engineer; Iggy Peck, Architect; Sofia Valdez, Future Prez; and Aaron Slater, Illustrator. Build bridges with Iggy, fly Rosie’s Cheese Copter, or dream big in Ada’s thinking chair. It’s all about curiosity, creativity, and, yes, a little failure along the way. Running through Jan. 4, 2026, this bilingual exhibit (English and Spanish) is packed with STEM, art, and civic lessons—plus a whole lot of fun. Find it at 275 Centennial Olympic Park Dr. NW. More info? Head to childrensmuseumatlanta.org. STORY 6: 4-H Farm Friends — A Gwinnett County Fair tradition for more than 3 decades Logan, a sixth-grader with a heart for animals, has always been drawn to anything with fur, feathers, or scales. At his first 4-H event, he spent the day doting on baby ducklings, goats, and sheep—each lovingly named, of course. This year, 4-H Farm Friends is back at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds, running through Sept. 21. For just $1, visitors can cuddle baby chicks, meet cows like Moolan and Ellie May (who turns five on Monday!), and even hang out with goats—new this year. For Logan and his mom, Misty, 4-H is more than animals—it’s community. Pam Bloch, a 4-H leader for 17 years, says the program is about more than cute animals. “We’re teaching kids where their food, clothes, and milk come from,” she said. “It’s hands-on learning they don’t always get in urban areas.” And for Logan? It’s pure joy. STORY 7: Police arrest suspect in North Gwinnett Co-Op burglary A Clarkston man, already serving time in a work-release program for burglary convictions, is now facing fresh charges tied to last month’s break-in at the North Gwinnett Co-Op’s Second Blessings Thrift Store in Buford. Lavan Hickman, 38, was charged with burglary and second-degree criminal damage to property after investigators determined he left the Gwinnett County Correctional Institute on work release before committing the Aug. 19 crime. Surveillance footage showed someone smashing a window with a rock to enter the store, causing over $10,000 in damages. Stolen items included a cash box, money bags, and a Sony camera. Kim Phillips, the co-op’s executive director, expressed heartbreak but also compassion. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Tucked away in the quiet community of Clermont, Florida, lived a man whose easygoing nature and love for the outdoors made him a friend to many. Michael Shaver was a hardworking father who seemed to juggle his responsibilities with an easy smile, always willing to lend a hand or share a laugh. But in early 2015, Michael's presence began to fade. Calls went unanswered, visits stopped, and gradually, he seemed to slip out of the daily rhythm of life. Yet the silence surrounding his absence raised far more questions than answers. Tonight, we dive into the story of Michael Shaver—his life, the relationships that defined him, and the unsettling mystery that followed when he vanished.SOURCES: 1) Michael Shaver: How Did He Die?

Send us a textThis day has become America's national lament of remembrance. And the cloud only thickened with the news of Charlie Kirk's murder yesterday. Tucked in the folds of what most of the world is thinking about is a personal story David coaxed out of Dr Dave: he got married on 9/11/76. We remembered – and giggled, of course – in a different direction on today's podcast. HINT: David may have labeled Dr Dave's mom a floozy.
Tucked inside the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was a first-of-its-kind provision establishing a federal tax credit scholarship program that has the chance to greatly expand school choice for families across the country. Shaka Mitchell, Senior Fellow for the American Federation for Children, joins us to analyze the implications of this provision and discuss the school choice movement writ large.

The best restaurant on the Seacoast?Some will tell you it's The Black Birch.Tucked away in Kittery Foreside, this gastropub is a fan favorite lauded for its deviled eggs, short rib, cocktails, and intimate setting. In fact, when Ben Lord and Gavin Baudry started dreaming of having their own spot while both serving tables of Anneke Jans, the vision they'd laid out is nearly identical to what "The Birch" has become. From Kittery Foreside, Ben Lord and host Troy Farkas discuss what led him and his business partners to open The Birch 14 years ago, its role in the evolution of Kittery Foreside, how the Birch has enjoyed 14 years of success, the state of the Seacoast restaurant industry, the labor shortage, and the key role his other restaurant, Chapel + Main, has played in the revitalization of downtown Dover.CHAPTERS:The appeal of the restaurant industry (00:00)Working at Anneke Jans (05:40)Why they opened The Black Birch (10:00)Bridge closures & Kittery Foreside's evolution (14:02)SPONSORS: Sea Love Portsmouth & Chinburg Properties (21:55)Why people love The Birch (24:50)EVENTS: Seacoast Stories Dinner Club & Seacoast Singles (33:55)Chapel & Main's role in revitalizing Dover (35:10)The state of the Seacoast restaurant scene (42:30)How do you want to be remembered?

Chrystal Schleyer lives in South Carolina with her husband and children. Tucked away in a little black house on an old hay field, she happily lives in the middle of nowhere. When not writing or reading, she can be found outside with her ever growing number of animals or scouring the shelves of the nearest thrift store. A celebration at a turn-of-the-century manor takes a deadly twist, and everyone becomes a suspect. Twin brothers Easton and Weston are both in love with their childhood best friend Eloise. But headstrong Eloise prefers the younger brother, Wes, which is why she is heartbroken when, unexpectedly, Wes proposes to an heiress, and Eloise finds herself engaged to Easton—the twin she cannot stand. Then, during a week of celebration, Wes is poisoned. Murmurs of nightshade slip through the manor, and everyone seems to have a motive. Was it Della Drewitt—the heiress reluctant to marry Wes? Or did Easton decide killing his brother was the only way to secure Eloise's affections? Or was it the housemaid Violet, Wes's previous lover? As guests turn into suspects, attempts to kill Wes become more relentless than the storms churning the estate—who wants him dead, and why?
Tucked between the assurance of Romans 8 and the practical guidance of Romans 12-16 lies what Pastor Taylor calls "the monster in the middle" – the challenging theological territory of Romans 9-11. But far from something to fear, these chapters contain profound truths about God's mercy and our mission.The sermon begins with a powerful contrast: how can Paul transition from the triumphant declarations of Romans 8 to expressing "great sorrow and unceasing anguish" in Romans 9? The answer reveals the heart of true salvation – when we genuinely experience God's grace, we become burdened for those who haven't.Through a recent baptism story, Pastor Taylor illustrates the difference between inherited religion and personal faith. Skip didn't receive salvation merely by being born into a Christian family; he reached a point where faith became truly his own. This perfectly parallels Paul's message that being physically descended from Abraham isn't enough – one must be spiritually connected through faith.The most compelling moment comes through a thought-provoking analogy: Imagine having a coupon that could instantly pay off someone's mortgage but being too afraid to share it because you might explain it poorly, face difficult questions, or offend them. How absurd! Yet we often withhold the infinitely more valuable gospel for these very reasons."I love the gospel articulated poorly more than anything else articulated well," Pastor Taylor declares, challenging us to overcome our hesitation in sharing Christ. The sermon concludes with a practical challenge: identify one specific person in your life who needs Jesus, pray for an opportunity to share, and when that opportunity comes, set aside your fears and trust the Holy Spirit.Changed lives desire to see changed lives. Changed lives understand that only God's mercy changes lives. And changed lives boldly proclaim the truth that changes lives. Who is that person God has positioned you to reach?
Tucked away in Shady Side is one of the Chesapeake's true hidden gems—the Captain Avery Museum. Step through the doors and you're stepping back into the 1860s, into the life of a waterman making his living from the Bay. It's a small museum with a big story, and right now it's hosting something very special. The Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit called SPARK is on display, showing how rural communities across America have solved local problems with the creativity of ordinary people. It's a fascinating reminder that innovation doesn't just come from labs and cities—it happens in our neighborhoods too. And while you're there, don't miss Buyboats to Beaches, a semi-permanent exhibit that traces 100 years of resiliency on the Chesapeake. The centerpiece is the Norman Gross collection of boat models—each one tied to a personal story, each one a piece of Bay history made tangible. Of course, no Chesapeake museum would be complete without celebrating the oyster, and the Captain Avery Museum does it in style with their annual Oyster Festival. Mark your calendars for October 15th when the grounds will come alive with food, music, and all things oyster. We sat down with Executive Director Elaina Lill Uhl and Board Member Peggy Oriani to talk about what makes the museum so unique, the joy of preserving Bay heritage, and how these exhibits keep the waterman's story alive for future generations. If you've never been to the Captain Avery Museum, it's worth the trip. History, community, innovation, and oysters—it's all waiting in Shady Side. Have a listen!

Tucked into a scenic corner of the International Peace Garden, and straddling the border between North Dakota and Manitoba, Canada, the North American Game Warden Museum stands as the world's only institution fully dedicated to both educating the public and honoring fallen wildlife officers. This one-of-a-kind museum features a memorial garden, exhibits showcasing uniforms and tools of the trade from decades past, along with a library, audio/visual area, and a fascinating collection of items seized by game wardens from across North America. In this episode, we sit down with museum manager Stephanie Lee for an insightful conversation ahead of the museum's 2025 Fallen Officer Memorial Ceremony.

When you stand at the edge of Hyner View State Park, it feels like Pennsylvania has stretched itself out just for you. Rolling mountains covered in endless green, the West Branch of the Susquehanna winding far below, and a sky so wide it makes you want to take flight.In fact, people do—Hyner View is one of the state's most famous hang-gliding spots, where the bold launch themselves into the open air. I've been fortunate enough to see gliders taking off from the park's summit and it is a sight to behold. While the Hyner View is beautiful no matter the time of year, in autumn it becomes a colorful masterpiece. The endless ridges fade into the horizon and are set ablaze with fiery reds, glowing oranges and warm golds, as if the mountains themselves are smoldering. From the overlook, you can watch the Susquehanna carve its way through the valley below. Hyner View provides my favorite view in all of the Commonwealth. If I'm within an hour of the park, I must stop just to take in the breathtaking view of the Pennsylvania Wilds.But Hyner isn't just about the view. Just a few miles down the road, Hyner Run State Park offers a quieter, more grounded escape. The park feels like one of those secret spots you stumble upon and instantly want to keep to yourself. Tucked in a narrow valley, the park wrapped in trees make you feel protected from the world outside its boundaries. A cool mountain stream winds through the valley, drawing families to its swimming pool in summer and anglers to its trout-filled waters in spring. Trails climb from the valley floor into the surrounding forest, offering quiet paths where deer slip through the underbrush and birdsong replaces the hum of traffic. Hyner Run is a place where camping, hiking, and simple stillness come together. Together, these two parks tell a story of contrast—one that lifts you into the sky, and another that brings you back to the forest. On this episode, I speak with Ian Loewen. Ian is the environmental education specialist for Hyner Run and Hyner View State Parks.

Tucked away today at the Hill.com - Stigall noticed a story that explains a whole lot about the Democrats you're hearing on TV screeching that Trump's federal policing of D.C. is authoritarian and vowing to fight him over it if it comes to cities in their states. Also, more bombshell reporting on the Russia hoax - specifically related to the media leaks from former FBI Director James Comey. Prosecution must happen after all we've learned this week. Are universities complying with the Trump administration's demands they scrap DEI? Adam Gillette from Accuracy In Media says even in red-state Iowa, you'll be surprised how they're trying to ignore it. And we break out the left-winger montage of censorship many who listen to this podcast request - as Patrick Hedger of NetChoice.org explains the chilling new law in the UK called the "Online Safety Act" which, as you can imagine isn't about safety at all. It's about speech. Remember - all the bad ideas that start in Europe wind up in the United States if we don't keep our head on a swivel. Plus, Stigall previews a new podcast project and he'd like your input.-For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShow-Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Tucked away in the small town of Malvern, Iowa, stands a building with a history as chilling as the activity that now fills its empty halls. Malvern Manor began in the late 1800s as a family-owned hotel, serving travelers from the nearby railroad. But when the age of the automobile took over, the guests stopped coming—and the building's purpose took a much darker turn. Converted into a convalescent home, it housed patients suffering from addiction, schizophrenia, and other mental illnesses. Reports of neglect, abuse, and inhumane conditions plagued its reputation until it was finally shut down—its doors locked, everything left behind. Today, Malvern Manor is open once again, but not for healing. Paranormal investigators, skeptics, and thrill-seekers now visit to confront whatever still resides there. In Part One of this two-part conversation, we sit down with owner Josh Heard to explore the haunted legacy of one of Iowa's most terrifying locations.

Tucked snuggly into the original Project Blue Book files was a two-page memo that easily could have been lost to time. However, in 1967, noted astronomer and computer scientist, Jacques Vallée, was helping organize the overwhelming amount of backlogged files of Dr. J. Allen Hynek. That's when Vallée discovered a letter amongst the files that both fascinated and shocked him. It was stamped in red ink ‘SECRET – Security Information.' and signed by a man Vallée would refer to only as "Pentacle." Was a secret UFO study running parallel to Project Blue Book and were those involved actually monitoring UFO events in real-time? Even more mysterious, was this secret group simulating planned UFO events as well? We are joined by Micah Hanks of The Debrief to break down the highly intriguing Pentacle Memorandum from a historical context and its possible connections to modern day UFO programs.

Tucked above Pike Place Market, the Butterworth Building was once Seattle's swankiest monument to death, complete with mahogany caskets, mourning suites, and the West Coast's first corpse elevator. In this episode, we dig into the dark legacy of E.R. Butterworth, his creepy connection to “fasting specialist” Linda Hazzard, and the spirits that linger (not just the alcoholic kind).Special guest Jake Rice, aka Ghost Daddy, drops by to share eerie tales of paranormal activity still reported today.Edited by Maxwell Holechek
Hello to you Lorraine, listening in Corona del Mar, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for a story) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. It was early morning when I lifted the shade and looked out the airplane window at the brown, mid-September harvested fields of Spain below me, stretching as far as the eye could see. I felt sick, gut-clenching, breath-holding, throat-constricting sick. What a stupid idea! What was I thinking! How ridiculous, foolish even, to even imagine that I could walk across Spain - alone - as a pilgrim - with nothing more than a backpack and a guide book. Who was I kidding?As the plane began its descent into Madrid, I had already made up my mind that I could not, should not, and would not walk the Camino de Santiago. I was no pilgrim. I would pick up my backpack and catch the next flight. I was going back home.What happened next? Tucked between the pages of the guide book I was holding was an envelope and in the envelope a short message from my story galpal, Lorraine. Her first words were “WELL DONE!”Her words continued: As you read this thousands of feet above the earth (and how could she have known that?) you may be wondering why I gave you a “WELL DONE!” card to start your Camino de Santiago journey. Regardless of what does or doesn't happen from here on out, you will be forever changed simply because you showed up. And that, my friend, is “WELL DONE!”What could I do? What would you do?The plane descended, taxied to the Madrid Airport gate, and I disembarked with the rest of the passengers. I found my way to baggage claim, through customs, and out of the terminal looking for the bus that would take me across Madrid to the station for the train to Pamplona where I over-nighted before taking another bus to St. Jean Pied de Port, France to finally begin my Camino de Santiago. I walked out of France, over the Pyrenees Mountains, into Spain, and then 500 miles on foot to Santiago.Since then I say my life is BC & AC: Before Camino and After Camino. Not a day goes by that I don't recall my pilgrimage, relying on the kindness of strangers, and the unforgettable words that gave me the courage to set out: WELL DONE!Story Prompt: Who gave you a hand up when you needed it most and expected it least?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! What happens when an entire town is built on the back of a single industry, and that industry vanishes in smoke? Tucked deep in the woods of rural North Carolina lies the eerie remains of what was once a thriving, self-contained community: the Henry River Mill Village. Built in the early 1900s, this seemingly utopian mill town provided everything for its residents—homes, schooling, even its own currency. But after a mysterious fire destroyed the mill, the lifeblood of the village drained away, leaving behind nothing but crumbling structures, shattered dreams, and—some say—restless spirits. Today, we explore the haunted legacy of Henry River. What lingers in the shadows of its hollow buildings? Why do visitors report ghostly whispers and eerie apparitions? And is the land simply abandoned, or cursed by the past? The story of Henry River is one of ashes, echoes, and the ghosts of a forgotten way of life.

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief takes a backroad ride to Lowey Crossing, Texas, where the hum of cicadas and the rustle of pecan leaves lead you straight to the heart of Texas whiskey—1845 Distilling. Tucked beneath a sprawling pecan orchard, Big Chief sits down with owner Bob Pettit and distiller Miguel Perez, a father-in-law/son-in-law team turning Texas grain into liquid gold. With a German-built still, American oak barrels, and a bold vision, they're blending heritage and innovation to craft whiskey that speaks with a Texas drawl and a world-class finish. The episode starts strong with a 118-proof Rye Bourbon that hits like a Texas thunderclap. One sip in and Big Chief declares it might just be in the running for his Whiskey of the Year—an explosive opening pour that sets the tone. Next, they pour their Wheated Bourbon, and the room goes silent. It's rich, smooth, and downright seductive. Big Chief's eyes light up, and there's talk of a new title: #WheatedKingOfTexas. Is the crown shifting? In the second half, things get downright artful with their Four Grain Bourbon. A perfect balance of corn, rye, wheat, and barley—this pour is a harmony of flavor. Big Chief calls it a “perfection pour,” where the sweet softness of wheat and the spice of rye meet in the middle to dance. They close the show with a sneak peek of a future Bottled in Bond expression. Clocking in at 100 proof, it's still in development—but already shows depth, structure, and an impressive viscosity that leaves Big Chief smiling. In fact, he's so impressed, he says his friend Bernie Lubbers—the Bottled-in-Bond evangelist himself—would tip his hat to this one. This episode is full of laughs, legacy, and some of the finest pours on the Texas whiskey trail. If you're not sipping with us, you're missing the story. And as always, friends—it's not just the whiskey, it's the Ride. Saddle up and come along.
This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Tucked along the Wabash River lies New Harmony, Indiana—a quiet town with an extraordinary past. Once the site of not one, but two Utopian societies, this little village was built on the dream of perfection. But even as the dream faded, something remained. In this episode, paranormal investigator and author Joni Mayhan takes us inside the haunted heart of New Harmony, where nearly every building carries echoes of the past. Former residents—some kind, some not—still walk the streets, linger in old inns, and whisper from behind church walls. Are they trying to guide today's generation toward the harmony they once sought, or are they angry that their vision was never fully realized? Join us as we uncover why New Harmony isn't just home to the living, but to the restless dead as well.

In 2007, paleontologist Ken Lacovara suspected he'd made a huge discovery in an unexpected spot. Tucked behind a Lowe's hardware store in a strip mall in New Jersey he found one of the most intact fossil beds from 66 million years ago. Recently a new museum opened at the dig site, where visitors can learn more about the day an asteroid struck the earth, killing the dinosaurs, and even go hunting for their own fossils.
