More Than the Uniform: Greg Froelick's Pursuit of Purpose This week on the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie sit down with former Navy SEAL and private aviation businessman*, Greg Froelick—a man who has dedicated his life to excellence, discipline, and service both on and off the battlefield. Greg's journey began after college, when he chose to serve his country and earned his place among the elite ranks of the U.S. Navy SEAL Teams. His time in special operations sharpened his perspective on resilience, teamwork, and intentional living—lessons he now carries into every corner of his life. After leaving the military, Greg transitioned into the medical sales industry, where he quickly proved himself in a competitive arena. His combination of grit, professionalism, and mission-focused thinking eventually opened the door to his next chapter with EMCJET, a premier group in the private aviation space. Today, he plays a key role on the EMCJET team, helping deliver world-class service with a warrior's level of precision and accountability. Greg recounts his experience aiding in the recovery efforts following the July 4th Camp Mystic flood disaster. He and Marcus reflect on their immediate decision to head to the affected area, coordinating the logistics required to make a meaningful impact—joining forces with several fellow Navy SEALs to provide help where it was needed most. Greg's story is a reminder that your mission doesn't end when one chapter closes. Whether in uniform or in business, he continues to serve — helping others live with intention. In this episode you will hear: • We shouldn't be on no defense - Department of Defense. This is the Department of War. We don't go on defense. You step up, and we'll come in and crush the shit out of you. (19:02) • Got into private aviation. It's like a real estate agent for private jets. (22:46) • [The gate at Camp Mystic] was twisted. You can't talk about it and do it justice – the way it was twisted steel. (34:46) • We're not by any means a search and rescue outfit, but we knew that we could help. (36:31) • We're this close to being signed up to be a care coalition. It's a safe place to land. (36:51) • You're at that point where “I hope I don't find anything” [and at the same time] “I hope I find it.” (41:01) • When the cadaver dogs showed up and the backhoe maintainers showed up – Game Changers. (41:16) • The one's that'll never get any attention or no one will ever know who they are the drivers of the maintainers. (41:51) • How many times did we walk on somebody before we even found ‘em, because they were buried under the dirt from the Cypress trees. (43:30) • This is why it was key to have the cadaver dogs because of everything else that was dead around it: horses, pigs, deer, dogs. (44:02) • Everything aside from the situation – A lot of good came from all that. (46:55) • The more people sometimes – the harder it becomes. Everybody just wants to help. We were fortunate to get in the way we got in. (48:27) • No one was there yet. It was just us.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
The young King was determined to strike. His throne and power had been taken from him; now he would seize them both back. Now his chosen men entered the castle where he was a virtual prisoner, under the watchful eyes of his mother and her lover. Joining them, he led their rush to the Queen Mother's apartments. There they seized those who had prevented Edward III from truly ruling as King of England. Those dramatic events–which occurred in Nottingham Castle, of all places–are just one of many that occur in Michael Livingston's new book, Bloody Crowns: A New History of the Hundred Year's War. From the origins of the great conflict between France and England, to the last bitter acts, Livingston weaves the story of how not just those two powers but all Europe was riven by a war that last not just for a hundred years, but for two full centuries of war from 1292 to 1492.Michael Livingston is Citadel Distinguished Professor at The Citadel and the author of many books on medieval military history. The former secretary-general for the US Commission on Military History, he lives in Charleston, South Carolina.For more information, see the show notes for this episode on Historically Thinking Substack page.Defining the 200 Years War: 1292 to 1492Cantering Through 200 YearsScotland: The Enemy in the RearDoctrine and the Birth of Standing ArmiesThe Forgotten Naval WarAnarchy, Free Companies, and Peasant RevoltsThe Longbow: Myth vs. RealityThe Papacy and Religious SchismThe Myth of the Decisive BattleGenerational Conflict and Modern ParallelsConclusion
It started with exiles, legendary assassinations, and a dream of revenge. This is the opening act of the Wu–Chu War, where the state of Wu punched far above its weight — and the state of Chu didn't see it coming.When Chu underestimated its ambitious neighbor, all hell broke loose. In Part 1, we cover the rise of Wu, the backstory of King Helü and the legendary strategist Sun Tzu - author of "The Ancient Art of War" - and how one of the great underdog campaigns in ancient Chinese history began.Thank you to all the long time fans and Supporters of this podcast!

What did it take to end the War for Independence? When we think of the American Revolution's final chapter, we think of the Siege of Yorktown. Between September 28 and October 19, 1781, British forces endured a siege by the Franco-American forces that ultimately led to a triumphant Franco-American victory, British recognition of American independence, and the birth of a new nation. But the real story of the Yorktown victory is far more layered. It involved international alliances, enslaved people seeking freedom, and years of hardship. Today, we're revisiting the events of October 1781 as we revisit Episode 333. In this episode, we join three historians–Marcus Nevius, Ed Ayers, and Gretchen Johnson– who help us uncover: How American, French, and British forces converged at Yorktown The vital role of the French army and navy in securing victory And what this final battle looked like on the ground for soldiers, civilians, and Black Virginians alike Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/333 EPISODE OUTLINE 00:00:00 Introduction 00:03:59 Siege of Yorktown 00:05:13 The British Military Approach 00:08:50 The Importance of Virginia's Regions 00:18:57 The Impact of War on Yorktown 00:28:03 Dunmore's Proclamation and the British Strategy 00:33:44 The British Invasion of Virginia 00:48:00 Aftermath and Legacy 00:55:49 Conclusion RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODES

4. Logan's Vengeance and Lord Dunmore's War Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section focuses on the multiple "bewildering" conflicts on the frontier as the Revolution began. Following the Yellow Creek Massacre, Logan, the former diplomat, became an avenger, killing nearly 20 people and deliberately slaughtering children in revenge for his family's deaths. This period coincided with Lord Dunmore's War, launched by the Virginia governor to assert colonial land claims against Native Americans, especially the Shawnee. When the Native Americans sought peace, Logan delivered his famous lament through translator John Gibson (who was related by marriage to Logan's murdered sister). The lament served as Logan's announcement that his personal vengeance was satisfied, ending his period of warfare.
Athens, Sparta, Thebes, and their neighbors fought a seemingly endless series of civil wars worthy of Westeros. But just like the War of Five Kings, Greece should have been more concerned with uniting against a greater threat massing to the North - one capable of conquering or enslaving them all. This is a grand story of deeds as infamous as the Red Wedding, as heroically selfless as Dunk or Brienne, and as disturbing as the worst Targaryen incest or Bolton torture.HoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/
You're in a war right now—one far more spiritual than physical. Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, The Gospel: One Rescue at a Time. In this episode, Paul uses Pharaoh's defiance in Exodus 5 to show how resistance to God's will exposes the battle in every human heart and calls us to trust His purpose in the midst of hardship.For more of these Bible studies, visit PaulTripp.com/Exodus.

He emphasizes the historical context of U.S. maritime power, the importance of bipartisan support for revitalizing the shipbuilding industry, and the role of allies like South Korea in enhancing U.S. capabilities. The discussion also touches on workforce challenges, the need for competition in the shipbuilding sector, and the strategic imperative of maintaining a robust maritime ecosystem.ShowlinksMaritime Statecraft and its Future, by Steve Brock and Hunter StiresThe Neptune Factor: Alfred Thayer Mahan and the Concept of Sea Power, by Nicholas A.

Send us a textWhat if one hard thing a day could change your life? Not a grand gesture—just a cold shower, a 45-minute walk in the sleet, or a two-minute meditation before opening your inbox. That simple shift became the turning point for our guest, Anthony Johnson, who opens up about anxiety, loss, and how a season of discipline rebuilt his confidence from the ground up.We dig into the power of the right people—those who celebrate your wins, support you when it's heavy, and challenge you when you drift. Anthony shares how he traded energy drainers for a tribe of “illuminators,” the men and women who keep him honest and inspired. You'll hear the “food vs. poison” framework for relationships, a three-part litmus test for your inner circle, and a reminder that fit matters more than labels. When your environment lifts you, consistency becomes natural.Identity gets practical here. We walk through daily “I am” statements tied to your key roles and core values, a simple power list to win the day, and breathwork plus meditation to quiet the noise before it gets loud.

This week on the RTC Weekly Download: The Mercury Theater On-the-Air in their production of "The War of the Worlds"
People from both sides of the Taiwan Strait said that no separatist forces can erase the shared history and national identity that bind people across the Strait, as the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration to China was commemorated in Beijing.在北京纪念台湾光复80周年之际,海峡两岸同胞表示,任何分裂势力都无法抹去联结两岸同胞的共同历史与民族认同。A grand gathering celebrating the anniversary was held in Beijing on Saturday. It marked the first Commemoration Day of Taiwan's Restoration, following an official designation on Friday by the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature.周六,北京举行纪念台湾光复80周年盛大集会。此前一日(周五),中国最高立法机关——第十四届全国人民代表大会常务委员会正式设立“台湾光复纪念日”,本次集会是该纪念日设立后的首次纪念活动。Wang Huning, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, addressed the event, calling on compatriots on both sides of the Strait to work together to advance national reunification and to firmly oppose all forms of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.全国政协主席王沪宁在集会上发表讲话,呼吁海峡两岸同胞共同努力推进祖国统一大业,坚决反对任何形式的“台独”分裂活动。Wang stressed that the establishment of the commemoration day demonstrated the unwavering commitment of all Chinese people to uphold the one-China principle and safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.王沪宁强调,设立“台湾光复纪念日”,彰显了全体中国人民坚定维护一个中国原则、捍卫国家主权和领土完整的不变决心。After the event, several guests from Taiwan said the commemoration had strengthened their confidence in the nation's eventual reunification.集会结束后,多位台湾嘉宾表示,此次纪念活动增强了他们对祖国最终实现统一的信心。Justin Lin Yifu, a Taiwan-born economist and professor at Peking University, said that Taiwan's restoration to China and the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) should be remembered by all Chinese people.出生于台湾的经济学家、北京大学教授林毅夫指出,台湾光复回归中国与中国人民抗日战争(1931-1945年)的胜利,是全体中国人民应当铭记的历史。"The course of history will not be altered by the obstruction of a small handful of people," he said, adding that the commemoration day strengthens pride in being Chinese.“历史进程不会因少数人的阻挠而改变,”林毅夫表示,“设立这一纪念日,进一步增强了我们的民族自豪感。”WuRong-yuan, chairperson of Taiwan's Labor Party, said the establishment of the commemoration day demonstrated to the world that commemorating Taiwan's restoration is the heartfelt, shared wish of compatriots on both sides of the Strait.台湾劳动党主席吴荣元表示,“台湾光复纪念日”的设立向世界表明,纪念台湾光复是海峡两岸同胞共同的深切心愿。"Our shared bonds and memories cannot be severed by any external forces or separatists," he emphasized.“我们之间的血脉联结与共同记忆,任何外部势力和分裂分子都无法割裂。”他强调道。Wu added that the decision provided strong legal and political support for all patriotic forces committed to advancing the cause of national reunification.吴荣元补充称,这一决定为所有致力于推进祖国统一事业的爱国力量提供了坚实的法律与政治支撑。On Oct 25, 1945, the ceremony to accept Japan's surrender in the Taiwan province of the China war theater of the Allied powers was held in Taipei. From that moment, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands were restored to China's sovereign jurisdiction.1945年10月25日,同盟国中国战区台湾省受降仪式在台北举行。自那一刻起,台湾及澎湖列岛重新回归中国主权管辖之下。Shaw Kai-ping, honorary president of the association for relatives of patriots in Taiwan who fought against Japanese aggression, said it was a great honor for Oct 25 to be established as a national commemoration day. Shaw's father and grandfather both took part in the resistance against Japanese occupation.台湾抗日爱国志士亲属联谊会荣誉会长萧开平表示,将10月25日设立为国家级纪念日,是一件意义重大的事。萧开平的父亲与祖父均曾参与反抗日本殖民统治的斗争。"This decision shows that the motherland has not forgotten the people of Taiwan, and that reunification is destined to be achieved," Shaw said.“这一决定表明,祖国没有忘记台湾同胞,统一大业注定实现。”萧开平说。Chi Hsing, honorary chairman of the Reunification Alliance Party in Taiwan, said he had long awaited the establishment of the commemoration day. "As the historical truth comes to light, more and more people are gaining a clearer understanding of what really happened," Chi said.台湾统一联盟党荣誉主席纪欣表示,她一直期盼“台湾光复纪念日”的设立。“随着历史真相的不断揭示,越来越多的人开始清晰了解当年的真实情况。”纪欣说。The Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council hosted a reception in Beijing on Saturday, attended by guests from both Taiwan and the mainland who had participated in the earlier gathering.中共中央台湾工作办公室、国务院台湾事务办公室于周六在北京举办招待会,出席此前纪念集会的两岸嘉宾受邀参加。Song Tao, head of both offices, said at the reception that establishing the commemoration day on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration fully reflects the will of the people and the resolve of the nation.两办主任宋涛在招待会上表示,在台湾光复80周年之际设立这一纪念日,充分体现了人民的意愿与国家的决心。"We are confident in advancing the great cause of national reunification and enhancing the well-being of our Taiwan compatriots," Song said.“我们有信心推进祖国统一伟大事业,增进台湾同胞福祉。”宋涛说。Chi Hsing, publisher of The Observer magazine in Taiwan, said the decision reflects the shared aspirations of the vast majority of Taiwan compatriots.台湾《观察》杂志发行人纪欣表示,设立“台湾光复纪念日”的决定,反映了绝大多数台湾同胞的共同心声。"It will carry forward the patriotic tradition, reaffirm that both sides of the Strait belong to one China, and inspire pride in being Chinese," she said.“这将传承爱国传统,重申海峡两岸同属一个中国,激发民族自豪感。”她说。Ji Bin, vice-chairman of the All-China Federation of Taiwan Compatriots, said the restoration of Taiwan is solid evidence of the Chinese government's resumption of sovereignty over Taiwan and a crucial link in the historical and legal chain of Taiwan being part of China.中华全国台湾同胞联谊会副会长纪斌指出,台湾光复是中国政府恢复对台湾行使主权的铁证,也是台湾作为中国一部分的历史与法律链条中的关键一环。"No matter how the Democratic Progressive Party and its politicians distort the truth of the war of resistance against Japanese aggression, deny the achievements of the war victory, downplay or deny the historical significance of Taiwan's restoration, and collude with external forces to promote the fallacy of 'Taiwan's undetermined status', they cannot distort or undermine the historical and legal fact that Taiwan belongs to China," Ji said.“无论民进党及其政客如何歪曲抗日战争史实、否认抗战胜利成果、淡化甚至否定台湾光复的历史意义,勾结外部势力宣扬‘台湾地位未定论'谬论,都无法歪曲和改变台湾属于中国的历史与法律事实。”纪斌说。In Taipei, the memorial association of the Chinese war of resistance against Japanese aggression in Taiwan and the Chinese Kuomintang party jointly held a celebration on Saturday marking the anniversary of Taiwan's restoration.在台北,台湾抗日民族统一战线纪念会与中国国民党于周六联合举办台湾光复80周年纪念活动。Overseas Chinese from both sides of the Strait also celebrated the commemoration day in various forms. Chinese embassies in countries including the United States, Japan, Brazil and Indonesia held symposiums marking the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration on the day of commemoration.海外两岸侨胞也以多种形式庆祝这一纪念日。中国驻美国、日本、巴西、印度尼西亚等国的大使馆,均在纪念日当天举办台湾光复80周年座谈会。In New York City, hundreds of Chinese compatriots from both sides of the Strait gathered in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens borough on Friday to celebrate the anniversary.在纽约,数百名两岸同胞于周五齐聚皇后区法拉盛社区,共同庆祝台湾光复80周年。separatist/ˈseprətɪst/adj.分裂主义的,分离主义的sovereignty /ˈsɒvrənti/n.主权;最高统治权jurisdiction/ˌdʒʊərɪsˈdɪkʃn/n.管辖权,司法权
Sjuårskriget 1756-63 utkämpades på tre kontinenter och har därför kallats det första världskriget. I Nordamerika och Indien konfronterades Storbritannien och Frankrike i en kamp om kolonier och kontroll över världshaven. I Europa slogs Fredrick den stores Preussen på liv och död mot franska, ryska och habsburgska arméer.Krigföringen på den europeiska kontinenten innebar något av en höjdpunkt för linjetaktiken och inte minst de välexercerade infanteribataljonerna och deras muskötsalvor.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden samtalar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved om Sjuårskrigets orsaker, förlopp och konsekvenser främst i Nordamerika och Europa.Konfliktens förhistoria är komplicerad och handlade om den tidens snabba skiftningar och nycker i utrikespolitiken. Preussen ställdes mot en överväldigande koalition av stater bestående av Habsburg, Frankrike, Ryssland och till och med Sverige. I botten på motsättningarna fanns Preussens uppkomst som militärmakt och seger över Habsburg under 1740-talet. På många sätt var det frågan om en maktuppgörelse inom det tyskromerska riket mellan kejsarmaktens Habsburg och utmanaren Preussen. Stöd fick Preussen endast av Storbritannien.Till konflikten på kontinenten hörde även en uppgörelse mellan Storbritannien och Frankrike om kolonier och kontroll över handelsvägar över hela jordklotet. Främst kom kriget att föras i Nordamerika och i Indien. Britterna visade sig i slutänden överlägsna och kunde med kriget slutligen etablera sig som den främsta kolonialmakten på Frankrikes bekostnad.På kontinenten kämpade preussarna mot övermakten och lyckades trots allt rida ut kriget utan att krossas. Inte minst berodde detta på deras militära förmåga och Fredrick den stores ledarskap även om segrar blandades med blodiga nederlag. Med sin taktiska förmåga och inte minst sin flexibilitet och ”sneda slagordning” vann Fredrick spektakulära segrar som vid Rossbach och Leuthen 1757 mot numerärt överlägsna arméer.Litteraturtips är två titlar ur Ospreys serie: Simon Miller Rossback och Leuthen 1757 (2002) och Daniel Marston The Seven Year´s War (2001).Bild: General Wolfes död (1771), på Abrahams slätter, nära Quebec av Benjamin West; wikipedia, Public Domain.

The Collapse of the Humanitarian Deal and Barnard's Abandonment Eric J. Dolan Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World Charles Barnard offered the British castaways a humanitarian deal: he would transport them to South America in exchange for salvage rights to the Isabella wreck. Although the British learned the War of 1812 had commenced, they accepted the terms. However, one of the British captains, Brooks, secured a rescue mission from Buenos Aires commanded by Lieutenant William Peter Danda aboard the HMS Nancy. Danda was driven by the prospect of personal financial gain offered by the prize system and disregarded the Americans' humanitarian assistance to British citizens. Danda seized the Nanina as a prize of war, imprisoned most of the American crew, and deliberately marooned Barnard and a hunting party who were ashore gathering food for the castaways.
The High-Risk Sealing Expedition of the Nanina Eric J. Dolan Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World Sealing was a lucrative industry, particularly for the China market, valued for its high-quality fur seal pelts and elephant seal blubber. Charles Barnard, a veteran sealer, proposed a high-risk expedition on the brig Nanina to the Falkland Islands, which Murray and Son backed despite the impending War of 1812. Many merchant vessels remained in port, but Barnard and Murray viewed this as an opportunity to meet pent-up demand. Barnard's crew included four captains, notably diarist Barzillai Pease, and his 63-year-old, infirm father, Valentine Barnard, who was meant to captain the Nanina on its return voyage to New York laden with cargo. They departed from New York just as an embargo took effect. 1833 FALKLANDS

The year was 1938. Families across America gathered, listening during the golden age of radio. On the eve of Halloween, a broadcast interrupted their evening: A live report claimed Martian cylinders had landed in Grovers Mill, New Jersey. Within minutes, panic erupted as citizens fled their homes, convinced Earth was under alien attack. The entire event was fake. It was a perfectly executed radio drama by 23-year-old Orson Welles. Here's the sales lesson tucked into The War of the Worlds sci-fi scare: Welles wasn't just reading a script. He was executing a masterful lesson in emotional engagement. He had listeners hooked, buying into his story emotionally before their brains had time to register, "Wait, this can't be real." That emotional buy-in is a core tenet of sales: People buy on emotion and then justify it with logic and facts. If rational adults can flee their homes over a fictional Martian invasion, imagine the force of emotion you can unleash when you find your prospect's emotional trigger. Sharpen your emotional intelligence, and you deploy a powerful sales tool. Emotion Gets the Attention, Data Seals the Deal Welles sold tension, uncertainty, and gravity, not a product. His voice was calm yet urgent, delivered with the authority of a trusted news anchor. The audience felt an adrenaline surge—heartbeats rising, eyes widening—before they had time to check the facts. This is the non-negotiable first step in sales. Your passionate storytelling creates the emotional charge. Your tone carries more weight than any spreadsheet full of ROI data. Emotion gets your buyer leaning in and invested in the outcome. The data you provide simply helps them sleep well at night after they've already made their decision. If your message isn't landing, stop reviewing your product deck and start analyzing your delivery. Are you speaking with urgency, and are you connecting to their emotional state? Without that emotional resonance, even the best solution just adds to the noise. Authority Isn't Arrogance, It's Command Welles dressed his fictional story in familiar trappings like live news bulletins, eyewitness reports, and crackling radio static. Each detail made the unbelievable feel legitimate. He commanded belief by establishing immediate, undeniable authority. Bring that same presence to your sales interactions. Authority isn't arrogance; it's commanding belief. Sound like someone who's been there, knows the terrain, and has the solution. Communicate with unwavering authority, and you build trust before price discussions begin. This is how you sell the experience. Prospects must believe in you and your company; belief in your product comes next. They buy the experience of working with you before seeing the product. If you sound uncertain, you'll never build a foundation of trust. Stay Steady to Control the Chaos Welles predicted a strong reaction to his broadcast and stayed calm, controlled the narrative, and guided the audience through the panic he was creating. In sales, moments of crisis or uncertainty test your professionalism. When a prospect goes cold, objections arise, or a competitor attacks, do not panic. Do not mirror their anxiety—it only feeds chaos and cedes control of the deal. Control the process, control yourself, control the outcome. When deals wobble and emotions spike in your buyer, that is your moment to shine. Breathe, slow down, ask questions, and lead steadily. Be the calm voice that reassures, guides, and inspires confidence. Mastering internal composure is the essence of emotional intelligence in sales. Your Action Plan: Develop Your Sales EQ Mastering composure under pressure is a skill, not a gift. It requires commitment to developing emotional intelligence so you can use logic while others react in fear. Start a 'Rejection Journal' Drill. Stop letting rejection or setbacks paralyze you. Create a Failure Log to immediately document your feelings (frustration,
Eric and Eliot discuss appeasement and the striking similarities between Putin's recent demands and Hitler's insistence that the Czechs surrender the heavily fortified Sudetenland. They then turn to the latest idiocy coming from the administration, including Trump's demolition of the East Wing, the Pentagon's new exclusively right-wing press corps, and the live-fire Marine exercise that sent ordnance onto I-5 in California during a salute to Pete Hegseth and JD Vance. They also examine Putin's phone call with Trump and the situation in Ukraine, along with Trump's accelerating campaign of regime change in Venezuela. They end the week's conversation with thoughts on the No Kings protests and the daunting prospects for a sustained ceasefire in Gaza.

Watch Dave Gunn part 1 here: • Bestwood Cartel Boss Nottingham: David Gun... Dave Gunn's book: Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1912885409 Amazon USA: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKTVFD6H In the early 2000s, Dave Gunn and his brother Colin built a multi-million-pound empire, during a time when Nottingham was labelled Britain's gun crime capital. The second season of Sherwood, the BBC crime drama series, was inspired by the activities of the Gunn Brothers and the deadly crime wave in Nottingham, which earned the city the nickname 'Shottingham.' According to the media, the Gunn Brothers ruled some of the city's suburbs with an iron fist, drove around in flash cars and were dripping in expensive jewellery. They saw themselves as protectors of their manor – a modern-day mix of Robin Hood and the Kray twins. #nottingham #bestwood #podcast #truecrime #prison #uk #news Shaun Attwood's social media: TikTok: / shaunattwood1 / shaunattwood Twitter: / shaunattwood Facebook: / shaunattwood1 Patreon: / shaunattwood Odysee: https://odysee.com/@ShaunAttwood:a 10% OFF SHUTTERS FACTORY with referral code SHAUN link: https://shuttersfactory.uk/ or CALL 0800 197 8807 NORD: Get 4 months extra on a 2 year plan here: https://nordvpn.com/attwood It's risk free with Nord's 30 day money-back guarantee!

PROJECT AUDION 74: Eno Crime Clues In the Spirit of the Spooky Season, Project Audion goes back 90 years for our latest recreation! From the early days of the classic era of audio drama, we're bringing to life a unique ghost-story/murder-mystery episode of a radio series which is now so forgotten that it might well be a ghost: Eno Crime Clues. Mind you, in the early 1930s Eno Crime Clues was a major radio hit, airing hundred of episodes about detective Spencer Dean (known as "The Manhunter") and his partner, Dan Cassidy. Eno "Fruit Salts" (which are still around today) was the sponsor. Many of the shows were two-parters, with the audience invited to guess the killer at the end of the first episode. But this particular lost script from 1936 (late in the series' run) took the show in a new direction. You know how Orson Welles' War of the Worlds made such an impact by making the story sound like a genuine on-the-spot broadcast? Turns out he wasn't the first. This Crime Clues episode tried the same trick over two years earlier, using a real location, the show's genuine announcer and director, and a remote broadcast which -- well, you'll just have to listen... Our Cast: TOM KONKLE in California PAUL ARBISI in Illinois HOLLY ADAMS in NY DOUGLAS HERMANN in California PAUL PATTERSON in Georgia DAVID RIES also in Georgia KEN RANEY in Texas PAUL KOVIT in New York and LARRY GROEBE, directing from Texas

It's time for our annual rebroadcast of Orson Welles' “The War of the Worlds,” which aired on October 30, 1938. This legendary broadcast is one you don't want to miss! (Spoiler: It did not create the mass panic of legendary tales. Orson said it was fiction in the broadcast, and they took commercial breaks.)

It's tight end season in dynasty fantasy football — and Oronde Gadsden II is making noise. Is it time to buy the breakout before his value skyrockets?

The Left has a meltdown about President Trump's White House renovations instead of focusing on actual issues. Turning Point USA reporter Savanah Hernandez exposed a black market being run by illegal immigrants in New York City, which led to an ICE raid on Canal Street. The Department of War carried out another lethal strike on a drug boat operated by Tren de Aragua. A federal audit discovered that under Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom's watch, California awarded more than 60,000 commercial driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. The FBI made over 30 arrests, including current and former NBA players and coaches, related to a multimillion-dollar gambling ring tied to the mafia. Somehow, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith blamed it on Trump wanting revenge against the NBA. Savanah Hernandez and Matthew Marsden join the show. ► Subscribe to “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered”! https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesUnfiltered?sub_confirmation=1 Today's Sponsors: ► Relief Factor Visit https://www.relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-Relief to try the three-week QuickStart for just $19.95. ► Kindred Harvest Teas Go to https://www.kindredharvest.co and use code SARA for 20% off.
