The Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina have a long tradition of eerie folklore, including ghost towns, haunted locations, strange paranormal phenomena, and of course, Bigfoot sightings. This week I'll be looking at some Bigfoot encounters in Swain County, which holds more of the Great Smokey Mountains State Park than any other county. A woman and her husband spot Bigfoot on a road along the Little Tennessee River; vacationers spend a restless night in their cabin haunted by howls and screams; Sasquatch footprints are found in deep snow on the Appalachian Trail by a hiker; and a backpacker finds a strange footprint by a creek in Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Is Bigfoot one of the spooky mysteries lurking in the mountains of the Tarheel State?Chapters:0:00 - The Mysterious Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina1:53 - Bigfoot Sighting on Needmore Road13:57 - Vacationers near Bryson City hear scary vocalizations20:27 - Hiker finds long trail of footprints in the snow near the the Nantahala Outdoor Center25:46 - Backpacker finds primate footprint near remote creek31:27 - Not many sightings, but some strange encounters#bigfoot #northcarolina #crytpozoologyLinks!Follow us on Social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oddanduntold/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oddanduntoldWebsite: https://www.oddanduntold.comEmail me! : jason@oddanduntold.comOdd & Untold Merch!: https://oddanduntold-shop.fourthwall.com/Sasquatch Sightings from This Summer: https://youtu.be/qV6mLAkCfF8?si=fEKCq7M7H4usZNaqBigfoot Sightings in Sweden and Other Parts of Scandinavia: https://youtu.be/9HyX_5YAaU0?si=UjhP13UP3ShmTI0kBFRO Sightings for Swain County: https://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_county_reports.asp?state=nc&county=SwainCheck out Riversend, the band behind "Moonlight," our awesome theme music!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1yIwfeu2cH1kDZaMYxKOUe?si=NIUijnmsQe6LNWOsfZ2jPwRiversend Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RiversendbandRiversend Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riversendband/

Every team has them. The teammate who turns a one-word answer into a five-minute monologue. The developer who has not said a word in three retrospectives. The Product Owner who "adds context" to every user story before anyone gets a chance to read it. This episode is a high-energy, no-nonsense look at the over-talkers and under-talkers who quietly shape every meeting, and at the facilitation moves that turn a room of crickets and ramblers into a room of contributors. Expect a practical tour through the Explorer, Shopper, Vacationer, and Prisoner lens from Diana Larsen and Esther Derby's Agile Retrospectives, a fresh take on meeting personas like the Rambler, the Interrupter, the Silent Assassin, and the Ghost Participant, and a stack of techniques you can use this week:Sand timers in stand-ups. Parking lots that get used. Round-robin and popcorn share-outs. Intentionally crafted breakout rooms. Silent brainstorming. "Make space, take space" working agreements. And the most underused move of all, one-on-one coaching outside the meeting.The takeaway is simple and bracing. The goal of a great meeting is not equal talking time. The goal is meaningful contribution. Great facilitators do more than manage conversations. They create the conditions for better conversations to happen.

#DateEmOrDumpEm The One with the Repeat Vacationer
There's something magical about stepping into the unknown, suitcase in hand and curiosity leading the way. But ask yourself this the next time you pack your bags: Are you a traveler… or a vacationer?Traveling and vacationing aren't the same, so which one is you?It's not about right or wrong. It's about why you go and how you go.The Vacationer: Comfort, Convenience and Checked BoxesVacationers crave rest—and who can blame them? They've earned that all-inclusive escape. Their plans are polished: the resort booked, excursions mapped out, every detail wrapped in a tidy bow. They're here to relax, recharge, and maybe grab a few Instagram-worthy shots while following the path most traveled. Or maybe the vacation is a mission to do as much as possible according to plan.Either way, there's a certain ease in that kind of trip. Predictability. Familiarity. But there's also something… missing. That spark of discovery. That thrill of being surprised by a place. That connection to culture and community that doesn't always fit inside a brochure.The Traveler: Curious, Open and Eager to DiscoverTravelers take the road less photographed. They don't just want to see a place—they want to feel it. They linger in local cafés, talk to strangers, or take a wrong turn down an alleyway in an old European town just to see what's there. They don't mind the imperfect hotel room or the language barrier. In fact, they welcome it. Traveler's are often lost by design, because it means they're doing it right.To the traveler, every destination is a chance to grow. Every moment is part of a bigger story. And sometimes, the best adventures begin when the plan goes out the window.So… Which Are You?Take the quiz and find out.Do you stick to the itinerary—or stray from the script?Do you leave with a suntan—or a story?Do you chase rest—or revelation?The following 10 questions will tell your travel story.The 1923 Main Street Traveler or Vacationer QuizAnswer YES or NO to the following 10 questions. Keep track of your yes answers.Do you prefer planning the bare minimum so you can explore freely?Have you ever skipped a famous tourist site in favor of a local recommendation?Do you enjoy getting a little lost in a new city or wandering without a set agenda?Would you rather eat at a hidden neighborhood café than a popular chain?Do you love learning local customs or picking up a few words of the language?Have you ever changed your plans mid-trip just because something interesting came up?Do you travel to connect with people and culture—not just to unwind?Would you trade a five-star resort for a locally run guesthouse with character?Are you okay with a bit of discomfort if it means having a more authentic experience?Do you feel most alive when you're somewhere unfamiliar?Your Results:0–3 YES Answers: You're more of a Vacationer—and there's nothing wrong with that! You travel to relax, recharge, and take in the sights with comfort and ease. Just don't forget to occasionally stray from the itinerary… magic often lives outside the guidebook.4–7 YES Answers: You're a Hybrid Explorer. You like a balance: a comfy bed and a structured plan, but with room for curiosity. You're open to adventure, especially when it fits into the day's schedule. A little more freedom and spontaneity could turn your trip into a deeper story.8–10 YES Answers: You're a True Traveler. You live for the moments that can't be booked in advance. You seek connection over convenience and discovery over direction. Every journey is a chance to learn, grow, and get beautifully lost. You're one of us.So, What Does It All Mean?If you find yourself craving the soul of a destination, not just its surface… if you believe the real journey begins once you've left the crowds behind… then you're not just on vacation.You're a traveler, and you're part of the 1923 Main Street story. Or maybe you're the hybrid, someone who likes a little of both depending on your destination.Of course, our travel t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies look great and feel great whether you're traveling or on vacation, because the soul of travel is always be infused into every thread of 1923 Main Street travel apparel.At 1923 Main Street, We Design for the WanderersEvery graphic tee, sweatshirt and hoodie that we create is a tribute to those who roam with purpose.

On today's flashback edition of the cast, we throw it back to 2018 and my interview with The Starting Line frontman Kenny Vasoli. We touched base to talk about the beginnings of his side projects Person L and Vacationer and how that filled the times in between playing shows with TSL. One of my favorite interviews I've ever done in the history of my podcast, Kenny was also the subject of the very first written post I ever did for MusicBoxPete when it launched in 2009: my review of Person L's full length debut "The Positives". I had interviewed Kenny multiple times in chat transcripts over the years with Person L and Vacationer, but this was my first time chatting with him over the phone and in length about music. I've met him multiple times over the years during his jaunts in Boston and he has been nothing short of an amazing musician and a great friend, and that means a lot especially having been of a fan his since my high school years and was a big part of my formative years and was solely responsible for establishing my love for pop-punk music.

Understanding these types can help instructors tailor their approaches to better meet the needs of each diver, ensuring a more effective and enjoyable learning experience. Here's how each type might behave and be best engaged in a scuba diving training setting:1. The PrisonerCharacteristics: In scuba diving training, Prisoners might feel obligated to participate, perhaps due to requirements for certification or as a part of a job requirement. They may be apprehensive about diving or simply disinterested, attending only because they feel they must.In Training: To engage Prisoners, instructors can focus on highlighting the safety aspects of the training, reassuring them of the measures taken to ensure a secure learning environment. Demonstrating the immediate benefits of diving skills, such as the exhilarating experiences and unique sights scuba diving offers, might also help ignite some interest. Additionally, involving them in hands-on activities might help break their resistance by giving them a direct role in their learning process.2. The ProfessorCharacteristics: Professors in scuba diving training are often experienced divers who may already hold advanced certifications. They attend the training either to refresh their skills formally or to add another certification to their list. They might scrutinize the training methods and safety protocols thoroughly.In Training: Professors can be invaluable in a scuba diving course by sharing their experiences and insights, potentially enriching the learning for everyone. Instructors should acknowledge their expertise and might consider leveraging them as peer mentors during practical sessions. However, it's also important to gently manage their contributions to keep the training on track and ensure that their presence is uplifting rather than overwhelming for less experienced divers.3. The VacationerCharacteristics: Vacationers might view scuba diving training as just another holiday activity, something fun to try while at a resort or on a cruise. Their primary interest is often in the experience rather than in gaining deep knowledge or proficiency.In Training: Keeping the training engaging and fun is key for Vacationers. Instructors can use interactive and visually stimulating materials, ensure plenty of in-water practice, and perhaps emphasize the social aspects of diving, such as making new friends and exploring together. Linking the skills learned to immediate diving opportunities available locally can help maintain their interest and encourage them to appreciate the training's value beyond just an activity.4. The ExplorerCharacteristics: Explorers are eager to learn every aspect of scuba diving. They approach training with enthusiasm, ready to soak up information, master skills, and understand the nuances of marine life and underwater ecosystems.In Training: Explorers thrive in environments where they are challenged and can deepen their knowledge. Instructors should provide detailed explanations, offer extra resources for learning, and perhaps introduce advanced diving topics that spark further interest. Encouraging Explorers to continue their diving education through advanced courses or specialties can also be beneficial, as they are likely to pursue further certifications.By recognizing these types and adapting the training approach accordingly, scuba diving instructors can create a more dynamic and responsive learning environment. This personalized approach not only enhances the experience for each diver but also promotes a safer and more comprehensive understanding of scuba diving for all participants. Hosted on Acast.
