Arthur Jafa is probably the most revered artist of the last decade. Born in 1960, in Tupelo, Mississippi, he came up through the world of cinema. But Jafa also found his way into the art world with his difficult video work and strange objects. In art, his reputation went viral in 2016 with the video, Love Is the Message, the Message Is Death. It is a collage of found footage from social media that included police violence against Black people and also moments of viral celebration and joy. It was both experimental and accessible, and drew huge crowds when it was first shown at Gavin Brown's Enterprise in New York. A follow-up film, called The White Album, won the Golden Lion for Best Artist as part of the main show of the Venice Biennale back in 2019. And this month, Jafa is back in Venice, this time in a two-person show called “Helter Skelter,” curated by Nancy Spector, pairing him with the famous artist Richard Prince, also known for using found and appropriated imagery to disorienting effect. That show opened alongside the Venice Biennale at the Prada Foundation, and was one of the few things during the opening weekend that everyone could agree was a must-see event. Jafa has also curated a show currently on view at the Museum of Modern Art, called “Less Is Morbid,” a deliberately packed display of his favorite art. He is also one of the winners of this year's Art Basel Award, to be honored at that fair. In the middle of all this intense activity, Jafa agreed to talk to Artnet's Ben Davis about his art, his view of art history, and what comes next.

Recorremos junto a Elena Ortega su Ruta 61 por el corazón musical de EEUU desde Nueva Orleans hasta Minnesota, siguiendo la huella de grandes mitos. En esta nueva entrega de El Placer de Viajar, el podcast de viajes de esRadio y Libertad Digital conducido por Carmelo Jordá y Kelu Robles, se propone un recorrido fascinante por la geografía de los sonidos y los sabores, desde el caudaloso río Misisipi hasta los pies del Pirineo aragonés. El episodio comienza con un guiño a la mítica figura de Louis Armstrong para introducir una propuesta de viaje diferente: los cruceros adults only de la naviera Virgin Voyages. Eva Sanchidrián, de Mundomar Cruceros, explica cómo esta compañía, propiedad del magnate Richard Branson, ha buscado romper con los moldes tradicionales de la navegación turística, eliminando los grandes bufés y las formalidades clásicas para centrarse en una experiencia moderna donde la gastronomía de alta gama y la socialización entre adultos son los pilares fundamentales. La propuesta veraniega de estos cruceros destaca por sus itinerarios por el Mediterráneo con puerto base en Barcelona, facilitando el acceso a los viajeros españoles sin necesidad de vuelos adicionales. Según Sanchidrián, la oferta incluye menús diseñados por chefs de estrellas Michelin, clases de fitness y una vibrante vida nocturna con salas privadas de karaoke. Como incentivo especial para los oyentes de esRadio, se anuncia un descuento exclusivo y créditos a bordo para disfrutar de la experiencia premium de esta naviera, que aspira a ser un destino en sí mismo más allá de las escalas en los puertos mediterráneos. El núcleo central del programa cuenta con la presencia de la periodista Elena Ortega, quien presenta su libro Ruta 61: Un Viaje Sonoro Siguiendo el Misisipi, publicado por Anaya Touring. Esta obra no es solo una guía práctica, sino un relato personal que recorre el corazón musical de Estados Unidos. Ortega decidió realizar la ruta de sur a norte, desde Nueva Orleans hasta el nacimiento del río en Minnesota, siguiendo el camino inverso de la Great Migration de los músicos afroamericanos. A lomos de un Mustang negro, la autora explora cómo el jazz, el blues, el country y el rock and roll fueron evolucionando y electrificándose en ciudades clave como Memphis, Nashville, San Luis y Chicago. Durante la charla, Ortega destaca la hospitalidad del pueblo estadounidense en la América profunda, desmontando prejuicios sobre la recepción a los extranjeros. Entre las anécdotas del libro, resalta la visita al Delta del Misisipi, donde revive la leyenda de Robert Johnson y su supuesto pacto con el diablo en un cruce de caminos. El viaje también incluye paradas obligatorias en Tupelo, cuna de Elvis Presley, y Memphis, donde Graceland, la mansión de el Rey del Rock, sigue siendo un lugar de peregrinación multitudinaria cada mes de agosto. La autora describe cómo el paisaje sonoro cambia al llegar a Nashville, donde las nuevas generaciones buscan el éxito siguiendo los pasos de Taylor Swift. Hacia el final de la ruta, el libro de Ortega se adentra en San Luis, con su icónico arco que simboliza la puerta hacia el oeste, y Minneapolis, ciudad natal de Bob Dylan y centro de operaciones de Prince. La autora subraya que el viaje culmina en el lago Itasca, en el norte de Minnesota, donde el Misisipi nace como un humilde riachuelo que contrasta con su potencia final en el sur. Esta travesía permite comprender cómo la identidad cultural de una nación se ha forjado a través de sus carreteras y sus ritmos, una experiencia que Elena Ortega logra transmitir con una emotividad que va más allá de lo puramente informativo. Finalmente, el programa regresa a España para reivindicar Huesca, una de las capitales de provincia menos visitadas pero con un patrimonio histórico envidiable. Kelu Robles describe la ciudad como la antesala del Pirineo aragonés, destacando lugares como la Plaza de Navarra, el Círculo Oscense y la imponente Catedral, cuya estructura interna recuerda a un complejo puzzle arquitectónico. No se olvida la mención a la gastronomía altoaragonesa, que cuenta con ocho estrellas Michelin en la provincia. Se recomienda encarecidamente la visita a pastelerías locales como La Paca de Raúl Bernal, y degustar platos tradicionales como el ternasco, las chiretas o los espárragos montañeses, completando así un episodio que celebra el viaje como una fuente inagotable de placer para los sentidos.

This week's episode of Cemetery Row focuses on some of the worst natural disasters in history. Lori covers the eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz stratovolcano in Colombia in 1985 and the ensuing Armero tragedy. Hannah covers the 1900 Galveston, Texas, hurricane, which killed thousands, including residents of St. Mary's Orphans Asylum. Sheena covers the 1936 Tupelo, Mississippi, tornado that may have given Tupelo its most famous ghostly resident. She also covers The Gray Man, a spirit who warns the residents of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, of impending hurricanes.

It's the story of a guy on a road trip across the country, checking out America's classic greasy spoons. And the adventure is all about finding the restaurant owners and creative cooks serving up the very best of down-home style food. That's the premise of the hit series Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives starring everyman chef Guy Fieri. Today we're going to talk with the show's creator, two-time Emmy Award winning food journalist and executive producer David Page. Interview Transcript David, I can't wait to talk to you about the show. But before we dive in and talk about the specifics, how long did the show run and how many episodes were done? My impression it's still on and it's always been there. Yes. I created it in 2006, 2007. I did the first 11 seasons and moved on. And funny story, in the first month of the show we had a couple of strong initial outings. And everyone was all excited thinking maybe this will be a hit. A food network executive called me up to tamp down my expectations and said, look, this is all fine and dandy, but this thing isn't gonna go more than a season or two. There's just not that many restaurants. And you know, to quote the great screenwriter William Goldman whose rule of Hollywood is 'no one knows anything.' I did 11 seasons. It's now in season 40 or something, I think. Holy cow. I could just think of enough restaurants around me to do a couple of seasons worth. So, tell us the origin story. How did Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives come about? Well, I had left a career in network news and moved to the Twin Cities because I thought I wanted to be in business for a public corporation. And I took a job as the Senior Vice president at a home shopping channel, and I was all excited, and I hated it. It was just horrible. I did not want to sell second rate gold jewelry to shut ins. So, I quit, and I opened a production company and began to starve because I wasn't selling anything. Then I called Al Roker, who has a production company and who had technically worked for me, although stars don't work for executive producers in the real world. When I was the co-producer of the Weekend Editions of the Today Show. Al was on the weekend show at the time. He hadn't yet moved up to the big show. And I said, hey, Al, I'm starving. You got any work you could throw me? And he said, yeah, I'm doing a lot of stuff for the Food Network. I'll subcontract some of it to you. Which was good for both of us. I got to work, and Al got to take a cut without doing anything. So, that hooked me up with the Food Network. I started working for them and Al and I both knew I wasn't gonna get rich doing a pass-through deal, so I started pitching them directly. And I was getting nowhere. There was this very nice development exec who would talk to me on the phone. And everything I proposed she would shoot down. And one day I'm on the phone with her and we're going through a pitch call and I'm proposing this and proposing that, and she's saying, no, no, no. Finally, the Food Network had asked Al to do a documentary on diners and the history of diners and such. And Al had subcontracted it to me. So, this development exec had a frustration and I think pity for me and finally said to me on this call, don't you have another thing on diners? And I immediately, I said, oh, absolutely. I'm developing a show called Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. And I told her all about it. And this was like late on a Thursday or Friday afternoon. And she said, 'you know, that sounds good. We have a development meeting Tuesday. Get me a writeup on Monday.' And I got off the phone elated because it was the first time she'd expressed interest in anything. But also, I'd kind of put myself in a jam because I was not developing a show called that. I had literally pulled the title out of thin air. Or a body part, depending upon how scatological you want to get. And that gave me the weekend to try to put a pitch together. So, this was in the old days when you didn't email people, you called them. I did as much research as I could, and I started calling restaurants around the country. And on Monday I sent her a pitch for a one-hour special with, I think, it had seven restaurants in it. And, they had their meeting on Tuesday and here here's, you know, you get lucky. Guy Fieri had just won their second Food Network Star competition. Back then they naively believed that that contest was gonna generate them a new star every year. Someone who would be a big deal for it. In fact, Guy is the only one who ever made it and, when I'm drunk and immodest, I take a lot of credit for having taught him how to make it. But he has immense natural talent. Anyway, they wanted to make Guy a star. And they were trying to get a primetime show for him. And big deal, major league production companies had been asked to come up with proposals, which had not come back yet. They figured, what the hell, let's do a special with Guy just to keep on the air so people wouldn't forget about him. So, they picked up this special from me. It was gonna be a one-shot deal. We did it. I think they were kind of stunned by how well it did. And then something really great happened for me. They looked at the proposals from the big boys and didn't like them. And they were kind of stuck. They were desperate to get Guy on the air in prime time. So, they figured, well, you know, let's pick up a very short season of this thing. And they bought, I don't know if it was eight or 10 episodes, but they committed to that. And very quickly, we became a hit and off we went. It's an amazing story. So many people have seen so many episodes of that show. But nobody would have any idea that's how it got started. It's wonderful to hear about that. Once you got going and got your feet on the ground with this, what were you hoping to accomplish through this show? Well, look, TV's about storytelling. I've been a storyteller, hell, for 50 some odd years now as a mostly broadcast journalist. You learn, if you're any good, that the best stories come from and are about people. I conceive this not as a food show, but as an opportunity for the viewer to meet really cool, passionate people doing something they cared about. You know, independent restaurant owners make a buck 3.80 at best. They're passionate about making good food. If they're any good. They're often trying to keep family legacies alive. And more than anything else to succeed in the food biz you gotta wanna serve people. You gotta wanna make people happy. So, I went out to document the stories of some of the coolest people in America. Now, it was in the food world, which is a world of shared experience. We all eat. Most of us have favorite foods. Most of our favorite foods are the kinds of foods that I featured on Diners. TV is about one thing: hanging out with someone you want to hang out with. That's why Tom Selleck remains a star; whatever crappy TV show you put him in. That's why for your older audience, Tyne Daly kept getting series after series, or James Garner. There are just people you want to hang out with and that's all television is. Guy is someone people want to hang out with. His personality comes through the screen in a particular way. And you know, I said earlier, frankly or implied, that I taught him a lot about how to make TV. I did, but that's because at heart, he is the most naturally talented performer I've ever worked with in 50 years in the business. And was brilliantly able to soak up anything he learned along the way. I mean, it's like a chef. If you're a good chef, a better chef can make you better. But if you're not a good chef, you'll never be a good chef. To be good on TV, you have to have it. I can't define IT, but to quote the Supreme Court justice about pornography, I know it when I see it. And Guy has IT. So basically, this show put together people you wanted to hang out with and brought them into your living room or your bedroom or whatever room you watch in. The show is very compelling and you're right, you get to know the chefs, the restaurant owners in these little places, and there's something wonderfully wholesome about it. It's so good that you came up with this idea. You know, I was reminded as you were talking about a conversation you and I had when we first got to know each other by Zoom a few weeks ago. And I was mentioning I was going to do a self-guided drive called the Blues Triangle Tour. Starting in Memphis going down to Tupelo, over to Mussell Shoals, ending up in Nashville. And immediately you started telling me about places I needed to go. You said, oh, there's this wonderful place in Memphis. It's down an alley and down these stairs. Yeah, the rendezvous. Yes. They have the best Memphis dry rub ribs. I thought, oh my God, I'm, I can't tell you how grateful I am for that recommendation. Well, did you go? I'm going plan my trip around that. And then as I was reading your book, Food Americana, which we've discussed in a separate podcast, you mentioned the hot wings in Nashville. You mentioned former Mayor of Nashville, Bill Purcell, who was an inspiration for the hot wing festival they have there. Well, I happen to know him. And because our professional paths intersected around some health and wellness things, and he's a wonderful guy. So, you inspire me to get back in touch with him. You know, I wrote to him, I said, I'm going to be in Nashville. Let's go out for some hot wings. You know, at the place where they were invented. How wonderful is all this? Well, the story behind them is phenomenal. Apparently, the guy, Prince I guess was his last name... he was not a real faithful husband or boyfriend. I'm not sure if he was married to the woman. But he came in one night after gallivanting around and told his partner, told apparently, didn't ask, to make him some wings. And she was so teed off at him that she made them hotter than hell and he liked them. And you know, an industry is born. Or so the story goes. That's so interesting. Tell us some of your most memorable experiences doing the show. And some of the places you were, the people you met. There must be so many that stand out and you did so many. But give us a few examples. Well, I understand I kind of lost out on part of this after the first season. I, I was back at home base putting the show together. So, okay, my in-person experiences were somewhat limited. Although I made some phenomenal friends in the course of it. Louie Miller's Barbecue in Taylor, Texas. Which, I visited. It's a legacy joint. Opened 80 some odd years at this point in a converted, they always include the word girls, a converted girls basketball gym in this small town in Texas. And when we went to shoot there, Louis Miller had passed away. His son Bobby was running the place. Bobby has now passed away and his son Wayne has the place. But I just fell in love with Bobby, who was, mm-hmm, dry as a bone and hilarious. I mean, Guy says to him, well, what are you gonna cook these over? You know, expecting post oak or mesquite. Bobby looked at 'em and said, wood. I said, oh, so that's how it's gonna go. And, and that's how it went. Now we started at three in the morning. That's when they start the fire. And, you know, we're in the middle of an interview in front of one of the pits, which was at that point, I don't know, maybe 60 years old. And without looking, without checking, Bobby turns around and starts moving briskets from one part of the pit to the other. And either I or Guy said, why are you doing that? How do you know to do that? He said they needed it. It's that kind of innate understanding of his food, his technique, the pit - which had a personality of its own - and he understood it. It was just extraordinary. It's the best barbecue I've ever had. The brisket there is extraordinary. It's unbelievable. They make their own sausage, out of bull meat. You know, again, food of the poor. Barbecue started as a way to salvage tough cuts and meat that was going bad in Czech and German owned butcher shops in central Texas. It was all about making do and the argument has allegedly been that bull meat has a better chew. BS. Once the old Bull was done siren, you had to do something with 'em. Grinding them up into sausage was efficient. And I, I mean, it's fascinating what you learn along the way. Bulls are kinda lean. So, when you make sausage outta bull meat, you actually add fat. That you've taken from other animals to get the right mix. Their sausage is amazing. It's the finest barbecue I've ever had. There's a place in West Lafayette, Indiana, called the Triple XXX Family Restaurant. They added family restaurant to it 'cause when it was just the Triple XXX Drive-In, they used to get phone calls, yeah, from people asking what time the next show was. And the married couple that owns it, they started going there when they were in high school dating. His father owned it at one point. It's basically a burger joint, but much more than that where they make the burgers out of steak. They name the burgers after star athletes from Purdue University right down the street. And they just, their, their love for the business, their love for the community, it's just something really, really special. And, you know, Wayne Miller's become a friend. They've become friends. It, it, it's a delight to see. there's a barbecue joint in Lexington, Kentucky. And I know Lexington because when my daughter was in high school, she was a competitive equestrian. And, Lexington has a pretty big deal horse show every year. And we would go there, and she actually ribboned there. She was damn good at it. But there was a barbecue joint that I found there. I didn't find it on a trip there. I mean, my research department found it. And their specialty was, as is the case in that part of Kentucky, mutton. And we sent a crew down there and Guy and did a segment with them. Like the next year when we were in Lexington, I took the family there and we had dinner. And it turned out I couldn't go there very often because they wouldn't let me pay. And they would just fill the table with all this food because as it turned out, they told me that being on Diners saved them from going bankrupt and shutting down. And I found out that we actually saved a bunch of restaurants, which was not our intent. But I'm damn glad it happened. And by the way, if you've never had mutton barbecue, you gotta go for it. It's fabulous. You know, when you were talking about Texas barbecue, I don't think I've ever come across barbecue I don't like. And, you know, North Carolina has its own distinctive barbecue, and Kansas City and Memphis, you know, all that. But by far my favorite, and I shouldn't say this because I live in North Carolina, but it's Texas barbecue, just like you said. Well, I think we're talking central Texas barbecue because... Yes. In Southern Texas, there's a Mexican style of barbecue, in Southeastern Texas there's the kind of barbecue you're used to because there was an African American migration from the Southeast into that area, so they're making pork. But yes, central Texas barbecue is second to caviar and hallava. Probably the third best substance on earth. Oh my God, I totally agree. I have a good friend in Austin, so I've been down there and I've gone to Lockhart and, you know, Austin and places, and you're right, that Central Texas barbecue is just unbelievable. It, it hijacks every atom in my body. And, and what's incredible about it is in most cases. There's no sauce. No, I was just gonna say... that it's only with salt and pepper. You don't... the meat is so good. Yeah. You don't want to besmirch it with sauce. No, no. At other places you need sauce because the meat's not that good to begin with. Oh, it's just absolute heaven. And again, it was born of a need to do something with bad meat. And, and by the way, interestingly enough, you know, unlike North Carolina barbecue, which was born of whole animals, this kind of barbecue was impossible until the meat cutting industry was born. And pieces of beef were being shipped that were not whole carcasses or half carcasses. This old form of food is actually also a modern form of food that couldn't exist until the industrial age began treating beef differently. You know, I'm dying to make a trip down to Austin, use that as a base and do nothing but barbecue for about three or four days. I don't know if the body can tolerate that, but, oh... Oh sure it can! But I'm going to find out perhaps. Well, you know, there's three Michelin star barbecue joints in Austin now. I interviewed the owner of La Barbecue, which has a Michelin star who was actually married to a woman who is a descendant of Louis Miller's family. And she unfortunately passed away. Her widow runs the place alone now. But they're doing some remarkable stuff. And of course, there's Franklin's, which is famous, which I've never been to. But oh, Obama was the only one allowed to cut the line there. Yeah, I wasn't, I had to stand in line a long time. How good was it? Unbelievably good. I mean, you go up and, you know, Aaron Franklin was there at the counter chopping up the brisket and asked which part you'd like. And you just don't... sauce belongs nowhere near it. The meat is just so tender, so beautiful. But it does raise a definitional issue. He was one of the first to use prime beef. Is that cheating? Barbecue's goal is to make the most out of the least. I don't know. If it's good. It's good. Okay. Cheating or not? It's really good. Okay. Just checking. So, let's get back to food television. Social media has come into the picture, since you began doing the Diners show. How has that changed things? And is TV still the predominant place people are learning about food or is it social? How do the two interact? Where does that work? I think it's mostly social media these days.I mean, look, TV evolved. Food TV evolved into two things. Truly beautiful paeans to food and chefs done generally on streaming channels. And they're fine. They're good. A bit, too dreamy for my taste. They take you out of the real world of your shared experience, but that's okay. I, I like going to museums and looking at pretty pictures. What troubles me is that so much of food TV turned into competition shows and BS reality shows. They glorify, you know, Gordon Ramsey's a great chef. I doubt he runs his real kitchens the way he screams and yells on that show. And given the toxicity in the restaurant kitchen culture, that got a spotlight a few years ago and is still, you know, it hasn't been eradicated. I'm not in love with the glorification of screaming and yelling. But the Bear has the same problem. I mean, this 'yes chef' mentality but it's still the French brigade system and an awful lot of the chefs I enjoy talking to these days will tell you, you don't have to do that. But I think the impetus in food as an audio-visual medium. Or food presented as an audio-visual medium is very much social media [these days. And you know, on the one hand, that's fine. The more interest there is in food. Hopefully the more people may sample my podcast Culinary Characters Unlocked. Look for it wherever you get your podcasts. But look, I confused the folks at the Food Network by insisting that my show be completely factual. You know, if they would ask me to stretch a point or something, I would say no. I held it to the same standards that I held all the reporting to when I was the senior investigative producer at 2020. I believe you should tell the truth. Well, social media doesn't give a damn. Most food shows, frankly, don't give a damn. But you've got influencers who have their own agendas. Who are wheedling free meals out of restaurants. I mean, why the hell glorify to buy chocolate? It's a goddamn chocolate bar, but it's 20 bucks. That's ridiculous. Food has been turned into a designer, accoutrement. It's, you know, it's a YSL designer bag. That doesn't make me happy. But then again as a society it's harder and harder to get people to be interested in actually learning stuff. They wanna be titillated, they wanna be shocked, they wanna be amazed. And look, teaching people stuff or imparting information doesn't have to be broccoli. I believe, frankly, one of the things I'm proudest of is that Diners, while entirely factual, was entertaining as hell. You can do both. But there's no code of honor or honesty or obligation among anybody picking up a camera and going on social media and saying, look at this. Where could it go? How could it be better? Well, don't take money or free meals to go pump places up. Have some expertise in what you're analyzing. I mean, criticism's fine, but if you don't know what you're talking about, the criticism is not valid. And I look to food critics to guide me toward where I want to go and eat and what I should like and help me broaden my palate and my understanding. Is it entertaining? Yeah, fine. It's okay. But again, I'm a grumpy old man telling kids to get off the shed. So David, you know, I'm really grateful you joined us today because the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is such an important part of American food television history. And it's amazing to hear how it got started and where it went and your vision of how things could be better. But boy, it's just fun to talk to you about food in general and places to eat and the people. And it is just this wonderful world of connection, isn't it? It, it is. And for example, this conversation, Kelly, I didn't know you till we started talking about doing this podcast, and now you're a new buddy. I love talking food with you.

From our Tupelo, Mississippi community, Miranda Andrews shares a tender and powerful story of growing up without her earthly father after he went to prison when she was in second grade. In the ache of that absence, Miranda wrestled with feelings of rejection, confusion, and longing. Yet even in the pain, she can now see the steady pursuit of the Lord, gently allowing circumstances that would ultimately draw her to Himself and shape her future.   After surrendering her life to Jesus, Miranda experienced what only He can do—turning deep wounds into peace, purpose, and freedom. Her story is a moving reminder that no childhood, no loss, and no season is beyond the reach of God's pursuing love.   VERSE OF THE WEEK: For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. Matthew 16:25   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: What is the Lord calling you to give up for Him?

3-24-26 Tonight we're talking with Melody and Kyle Stout, the new owners of Spacetime Mead and Cider in Dunmore, PA. They bought and took over Spacetime from owner and mead-maker Dan Schreffler has retired to take time for, well, whatever he decides to do on any given day. They are the next generation for Space Time! Melody began homebrewing in fall 2021, and really got into it, like it does for so many. She continued and got her BCJP Mead Judge certification in spring 2024. Her meads have done well in competition, including at Valhalla, the Mead Stampede and Your Honey or Your Life. Medaled in multiple competitions including Valhalla; Mead Stampede, and Your Honey or Your Life In late 2025, Melody and Kyle bought Spacetime from Dan, and  Melody and Kyle will be working closely with Dan to fully transition the winery into their care over the next few years. Kyle isn't a mead maker, but he is handling the marketing side of the meadery. “We make high-quality craft mead and cider with high-quality ingredients and local ingredients as much as possible. And we typically make sci-fi and fantasy-themed meads and ciders, along with some others. We're very focused on providing the highest quality and the most excellent product that we can provide,” said Stout. Stout said Space Time's offerings are locally inspired, and she shares some of the fan-favorite selections. “One of the things that sets us apart is that we are a PA Preferred Winery, which means that about 75% of our product is made using local ingredients. That's not very common in this area. There's not a lot of PA Preferred Winery, and we're very proud of receiving that designation. So, it's really important to us to maintain that designation and have products that are high-quality and locally inspired,” said Stout.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Leigh Occhi or details about her disappearance is asked to call the Tupelo Police Department at (662) 841-6491 or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at 1-800-773-TIPS (8477).On a stormy morning in 1992, 13‑year‑old Leigh Occhi vanished from her Mississippi home, leaving behind blood, questions, and a mother who insists she has no idea what happened. The front door was locked, the house was quiet, and Leigh was simply gone, as if she'd stepped out of her life mid‑routine. Decades later, her disappearance still lingers like a ghost over Tupelo, a mystery etched in storm clouds, unanswered phone calls, and a single, haunting question: how does a child disappear without a trace from her own home?

Join Chris, Rob and John as they get a shout out on Savvy, congratulate the JCC Jayhawks Hockey team on their D3 championship win and prep for daylight saving time. They also ponder how a man could take control of thousands of robo-vacuums (yes, this actually happened) and consider the science of toilet acoustics. Finally, they strongly urge you to watch Netfix's "Kings of Tupelo", discuss the new changes to this year's F1 season and make plans for things they'll probably never do.   Enjoy!!

Walking the path God calls us to can feel heavy, uncertain, and overwhelming—but we are never walking alone. When we trust Him, God goes before us, leveling the path ahead and sustaining us for the journey, even when the road feels impossible.   In this special episode, Chip and Wendy Frazier, who shared their story at our live gathering in Tupelo, Mississippi, invite us into their journey of faith as Chip awaited a life-saving heart transplant while battling hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Through seasons of depression, fear, surrender, and steadfast hope, they witnessed God preparing the way, meeting them in the waiting, and answering prayers in unexpected and loving ways.   VERSE OF THE WEEK: "Teach me how to live, oh Lord, lead me along a level path." Psalm 27:11   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Spend some time this week counting God's blessings to you and allow the assurance of those blessings in your past to give you strength for the future.  _________________________________________________________________   Click HERE to access Spotify and listen to any of our couples who have shared for the StoryTellers Live podcast in the past!  Not a Spotify-er?  Click on a particular story below:   Ep. 17- Sarah Beth & Clay Hagler: "A Second Chance- A Marriage Story" Ep. 18- Amanda & CJ Blount: "Freedom As One" Ep. 54- Rachel & Brian Stockard: "Redemption After Addiction"   Ep. 98- Andrea & Greg: "Broken and Restored"   Ep. 144- Cassie & Nic Brown: "A Good Day for a Miracle"  (listener favorite!)   Ep. 154- Keisha & Ricardo Reeves: "Redemptive Love"   Ep. 230- Susannah & David Ash: "Wandering Canvas" Ep. 259- Shannon & Aaron Eissler: "Life Change in Community-  A Marriage Story"   Ep. 309- Katie & JT Thornbury: "Seek and You Will Find-: A Marriage and Salvation Story" Download a phone background of the weekly verse HERE!   Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Wendy & Chip and any of our past storytellers!   Join us "In the Room" on Patreon to access new stories straight from our live gatherings around the country!   Click here for further details on our Stories of Hope luncheon on March 11th in Birmingham!

In this episode of Americana Podcast: The 51st State, we listen for a different kind of music.Not the kind that starts on a stage. The kind built into process. The low hum of a sewing machine. The steady rhythm of hands at work. The quiet beat of something being made with intention.The story begins in Tupelo, Mississippi, a town forever tied to music. Gospel, blues, and early rock and roll left their fingerprints here. Rhythm lives in the ground, and making something, whether a song or a pair of jeans, has always meant putting a little of yourself into the work.Blue Delta Jeans was founded here by Josh West and Nick Weaver. Two men who believed craft still mattered, and that manufacturing could carry the same soul as the music that shaped its region. What they built was not about chasing trends. It was about slowing things down, listening closely, and letting process lead.This episode explores the connection between music, labor, and culture. The same values that shape a song shape the things we wear. Authenticity. Repetition. Imperfection. Time.Listen to the full episode on all streaming platforms or at Americanapodcast.com.Like, Share, and Subscribe to Americana Podcast.

Kristi Lee and Dr. Rob Shumaker welcome singer and songwriter Paul Thorn for a conversation about his childhood in Tupelo, Mississippi, his start singing in Holiness churches, and his early obsession with ventriloquism.

When Dr. Britt Stone was growing up in Tupelo, Mississippi, her Bahamian mother made her choke down a spoonful of cod liver oil each morning. The daily ritual was part of a “bush medicine” philosophy that incorporated an array of natural supplements and remedies. While training at Meharry Medical College and later specializing in neurology, Stone turned her attention away from herbal medicine. But during the COVID pandemic, she revived her interest in so-called “integrative medicine” to help her patients cope with symptoms.“We never know what kind of traditional wisdom we have forgotten and then feel like we've discovered and then actually we have just remembered again,” Stone tells This Is Nashville. In this interview, she talks about how her “mother was right,” how to separate snake oil from truly beneficial supplements, and how her colleagues at Vanderbilt are also seeing the benefits beyond modern medicine.

On today's show, we're talking with WJTV's Kayla Thompson, who turned a scary moment in Tupelo into a career-defining revelation.

The link between good, affordable child care and economic development is discussed by Cathy Grace of Tupelo, the early childhood program specialist with the non-profit North Mississippi Education Consortium. She praised Gov. Tate Reeves and other Mississippi political leaders for acknowledging the need for an additional commitment to child care, but said much more of an effort by the state is needed than what is currently being proposed.

In this episode, Chris McCurley sits down with Dr. Kerry Williams, pulpit minister at West Main Church of Christ in Tupelo, Mississippi. Together, they dive into the reality of spiritual warfare — what it is, how it impacts our daily lives, and how Christians can stand firm in faith against the enemy's attacks. Kerry also shares insights from his years of ministry and academic study, drawing from his Ph.D. from Arkansas State University to help believers better understand the unseen battle between good and evil.   Connect with Us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dearchurch_podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564673680147 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DearChurch   Website: https://www.rippleoflight.org/ ROL Facebook: http://facebook.com/rippleoflight ROL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rippleoflight ROL YouTube: http://youtube.com/rippleoflight ROL Rumble: http://rumble.com/rippleoflight   Have a question?

Today's episode wraps up our three-week "Religion to Relationship" series, and, once again, it focuses our eyes on the beauty of God's grace and how this gift plays a key role in our relationship with Him. Courtney Ballard, from our Tupelo, Mississippi community, grew up as a pastor's kid, always aware of God and His existence, and working hard to be the "angel child" others expected her to be. However, this self-imposed title created a life pattern for Courtney of living for people and their applause, rather than living for God alone. She soon found herself at a crossroads—would she choose God's grace or her own efforts and good intentions? Listen and find out what the Lord revealed! ____________________________________ VERSE OF THE WEEK: "Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6 CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: This week be self-aware of the intentions in your heart and ask - am I living out of God's grace or am I living for the applause of people?

This week we're bringing you a replay of a case that is one of the wildest—and most unsettling—stories we've ever covered. Back in 2005, headlines dubbed him the Body Snatcher of New York. Dr. Michael Mastromarino was a once-promising dentist who built a shady side business harvesting human tissue and bones without consent. What started as a booming “medical” enterprise unraveled into a shocking scandal that left thousands of families devastated, raised questions about the tissue donation industry, and earned Mastromarino a spot in true crime infamy.   We're re-airing this episode now because it ties in more than you'd expect with the docuseries The Kings of Tupelo, which we're covering all month long.
