Is It October??? It sure is. Time to release the Horror For this whole Month. It's Spooky season Spread the damn word and listen.    This Episode Is Evil Dead II one of our Favs.   Fun fact The large demonic head Ash battles in the climax of the film, which the crew nicknamed the "rotten applehead", was too large and cumbersome for the crew to carry back to California, so it was left in North Carolina and soon disappeared. Its whereabouts were unknown for a number of years until it was found in a Halloween haunted house attraction just outside the original shooting location of Wadesboro, North Carolina.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE CRIME CONTENT, PLEASE CHECK THE RELEVANT TIMESTAMPS. Ruby Franke (8:28) Doe Cases (35:17) The diaries of former mommy YouTuber Ruby Franke have been released and go into detail about how she abused her children.  Ruby believed they were possessed by demons and repeatedly wrote that her son and daughter were the “spawns of Satan." In a July 2023 entry about her son, Ruby wrote: “I will not feed a demon.”  The children were found emaciated and injured in August 2023.  Ruby has since pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse and will serve her sentence in a Utah prison.  She may face decades behind bars. In this age of technology and DNA advancements, it is unbelievable that some unidentified John and Jane Doe cases have never gotten their names back.  We discuss two such cases in this episode.  In June 2020, the remains of a male and female were found in Pinos Altos, New Mexico.  A gun and suicide notes were found near their skeletonized remains.   In August 2021 in Wadesboro, North Carolina, a barely clothed female was seen on a trail cam in the middle of the night, in the woods.  Her remains were found the following year and she remains unidentified as of the time of recording.  Could this Jane Doe be missing woman Amber Rae Johnston?  In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss updates in the Ruby Franke child abuse case as well as some Jane and John Doe cases.

Kristin Nicholas lives in an idyllic historic New England home at the end of a dirt road, the interior handpainted in whimsical, vivid motifs. In neighboring fields, her family's hundreds of sheep graze in historic pastures. “From the outside looking in, it looks like a very romantic life,” she says. “But it is a ton of work. Most sane people wouldn't do it, as far as I'm concerned.” Kristin has never had a hard time reconciling her creative and practical sides, and in fiber art, she found a home for both. When she met her husband, one of their first outings was to the sheep barns where he had just taken a class in animal science. They put their passions for animals and textiles into practice right away when they bought their first four Romney sheep. Her mother says of the purchase, “Some people get an engagement ring. Kristin gets four sheep.” As the creative director for Classic Elite Yarns, she designed knitwear, developed yarn lines and pattern collections, and helped transform the company from a small weaving-yarn distributor to a major yarn company. In her role, she selected and predicted which yarns would be most appealing to consumers and successful for yarn stores. Her own style, though, is absolutely distinctive. With bright colors and global textile inspirations, her bold designs have a folk art quality. Through her decades in the yarn industry and as a professional artist, Kristin's work has always drawn on her love of fiber and her showplace farm. Although their flock has grown from 4 to 400, Kristin is unsentimental about the need for the farming operation to turn a profit. “I'm a super practical person,” she says. “I have this whole artistic vision floating around in my head, but things have got to make sense financially for me.” This means that although she has been a spinner and knitter for decades, she does not mill the wool from her sheep into yarn. With a realistic eye on the high costs and low income from wool, she and her husband have decided to focus their efforts on raising lamb. A local yarn company, Bloom Woolen Yarns, arranges to purchase the wool clip instead. These days, Kristin's main creative outlet is her line of handpainted ceramics. She sells her pottery as well as grassfed lamb at the weekly farmer's market in Amherst, Massachusetts. She shares dispatches from her farm on her Substack newsletter.

When she married her husband, "polyester kid" Anita Luvera Mayer received an extraordinary wedding gift from her mother-in-law: a loom and weaving lessons. A weaving store owner, Marcelle Mayer gave the same gift to each of her daughters-in-law. The others didn't take to it, but for Anita it was the beginning of a whole new life. Although she preferred making simple cloth to complex patterns, weaving opened the doors to meeting other fiber artists, teaching across North America, and learning to make her own clothes, beginning with a "pukey green dress" that she wore for years and kept as a teaching tool. Exploring new techniques and refining her approach, she championed the revolutionary idea that women—all women—should like what they see when they look in the mirror. Anita Luvera Mayer is an inspiration . . . and a delight. This episode was originally released in 2021.

Susan Druding was a graduate student at the University of California-Berkeley when she first learned to spin and weave. In the Bay Area of the 1960s, fiber interest and social tensions both ran high. Without a business plan but with a lease on a small storefront, Susan and a business partner opened Straw Into Gold, a store devoted mostly to spinning and dyeing. Spinning legend Bette Hochberg, author of Handspinner's Handbook and Spin Span Spun, was a regular, and legendary spinning wheel maker Alden Amos set up shop in the basement. Award-winning spinner Celia Quinn ran the old carding machine that they used to create rainbow batts. They became the first United States distributor of Ashford spinning wheels and equipment. Whether as a shop owner or storyteller, Susan Druding has yarns like nobody else. This episode was originally released in 2021.

After you finish weaving fabric that you love and are proud of, cutting it up can be an unappealing thought. What if it falls apart? What if you make the wrong cut? What if the finished piece doesn't turn out like you picture it? For Daryl Lancaster, the challenges of transforming a handwoven fabric into a wearable garment are the real pleasure—and if problem-solving is the goal, then what looks like a problem is really a creative prompt. As she tells her students, "This is fiber. There's always a way to fix it. There's always a way to go to Plan B, and we have a really big alphabet." With decades of teaching sewing classes and a line of patterns specifically designed for handwoven fabric, you might expect her to have firm rules about what fabrics to use with which patterns, but she takes a relaxed approach. "When you sew garments, any pattern will work. You have to have the skill set to make it work right. But patterns are patterns. The hardest part is to get it to fit," she says. "Any pattern, once you get it to fit you, you can turn into a garment, as long as the fabric that you have is suitable for that silhouette. And if it's not, can you make it suitable, or should you try a different silhouette?" One of her long-term projects for Handwoven was a series of color and fabric forecasts that anticipated fashion trends. With an eye on world events, cultural happenings, and even sports schedules, she created a set of images designed to inspire weavers to move outside their traditional yarn choices. Today Pinterest and Etsy have joined the famed Pantone in making forecasts freely available, but seeing the large-scale trends interpreted for an audience of handweavers is an inspiring way to look at the industry models. In recent years, Daryl has stopped traveling to teach. Instead, she offers virtual lectures and has built a robust YouTube channel that covers general sewing and fitting as well as specific tips for working with her patterns. In her time at home, she's enjoying weaving on her 64 (!) looms, including a fleet of little eight-shaft metal Structo looms. Funny, bold, and innovative, Daryl is exploring new ways of sharing her ideas even as she enjoys the evolution of her weaving practice from business to hobby. "You know, I'm at this wonderful crossroads in my life where that part of my career on the road teaching is done," she says. "Now I'm trying to reprogram my brain that I don't have to be a teacher anymore. You know, there are new people coming on to do this. And if I've left them information on my experience for them to use, have at it."

Jonathan Polk and Will Smith knew in high school that while still wanting to move on to other endeavors, they would be remiss if they couldn't find a way to give back to their community of Wadesboro, NC. Additionally, being that JP (Jonathan Polk) valued education tremendously that was the route they decided to take and it started with a book bag drive. They were able to provide 80 book bags loaded with supplies for the children to start their school year off on the right foot. But what was the motivation behind it all for JP? Growing up, he was one of those children who wasn't always fortunate enough to have the newest clothes and supplies but because of the generosity of those in his community he was able to make it all the way to East Carolina University. As time progressed, both men realized that in addition to book bags, they wanted to do more and that is when a scholarship drive was also incorporated. For JP, education isn't the end-all be-all, but can certainly serve as a resource for the youth especially and that is how the Smith and Polk Foundation was born. Tune in to this episode to find out some of the humbling moments for JP while running a non-profit organization and even hear some of the gems that he dropped for the listeners as well as the children in today's society. The Smith and Polk Foundation will be hosting a Book Bag and Haircut Drive on Sunday, August 16th in Wadesboro, NC.

One standout quote from Ms. Little is, “ You must be reaching back and pulling forward. You’re not successful unless you’re helping somebody else get there.” As the interview continued, Ms. Little even talked to us a little bit about her chapter in Dear Fear Volume 2 that is titled “Dear Fear: You can’t have my Power.” Through that chapter she talks about how she has dealt with discrimination as a black woman in multiple executive level positions in corporate America and how she was able to overcome those experiences.
