When Rachel Nardelli (Nerd-elli to friends and enemies) finds out that her childhood friend turned rival Alison Petrucci is found dead in Pleasant Pond, (the same place the two girls first said goodbye to each other back in eighth grade), the town of Waterbury is outraged by the fear of losing one of their own—the heir to Maine's largest construction company. But it's a little more complicated for Rachel. She saw Alison the night she died. Callous, she said something she shouldn't have. She stirred up the past. The next morning, Alison was gone.Rachel and Alison's diverging paths caused deep and irreparable rift in their relationship. Alison, by then the most bullied girl in school, left for private high school. Four years later, they both end up at Denman College, an elite liberal arts college in Maine, with plenty of scars and far more in common than either one of them would like to admit.Rachel, as News Editor of the school paper, is forced to examine not only what happened to Alison at the pond, but also what happened there eight years prior. Plagued by the complicated memories around their relationship, Rachel joins her journalism crew to investigate the murder. But as she revisits their fraught relationship, she falls into a web of cruelties that threaten to undo everything she understood about her past.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Billy Smolinski was a 31 year old man living and working in Waterbury, Connecticut when he inexplicably went missing on August 24, 2004 after returning from a trip he took with his 46 year old girlfriend Madeline Gleason...a trip where he discovered she was having an affair with a married man.  That married man turned out to be a Connecticut politician.  Because Billy told a neighbor he was going on a road trip for three days and asked that neighbor to look after his dog, police refused to take Billy's missing persons report until those three days passed, hindering the investigation from the start.  Today, almost 21 years later, there has been no sign of Billy and his family is still searching.  What happened to Billy Smolinksi?  LINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.coCashm/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KillaforniaDreamingPodcastFacebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enX:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodEmail:  killaforniapod@gmail.comTikTok:  @killaforniadreamingpod Cash App:  $KDpodcast

Earlier this month in Waterbury, two young girls celebrating Ramadan were attacked by fellow students. During the attack, their hijabs were ripped off.

**Special Edition**On February 17, 2025, firefighters in Connecticut arrived at a home in Waterbury in response to a 911 call from Kimberly Sullivan. She told dispatchers that her step-son was inside and that he needed an ambulance. The firefighters were unprepared for the GRIMM discovery within. Kimberly's step-son had collapsed in the house, but it was clear that he was suffering from more than just smoke inhalation, as he was skeletal, dirty and disheveled. In this special episode of GRIMM, Marina covers the unfathomable details surrounding the rescue of 32-year-old "John Doe," after an alleged 20 years behind a door locked by his own family.

Enough about LIV and distance rules and slow play. It's time for golf's real burning questions: Why did Happy Gilmore qualify for the Tour after winning an 18-hole local in Waterbury? How did Roy McAvoy backspin a 3-wood off the green into the water? And is Caddyshack really the greatest golf movie of all time? We sit down with author Kyle Bandujo to discuss his book Movies with Balls, in which he and artist Rick Bryson apply true-life sports analysis to fictional sports stories, ranking the best accounts of the games we love. Why is golf so richly depicted in literature yet so rarely captured well on film? Kyle and host Tom Coyne go deep on golf movies and wander into controversial territory (Tom's take: Tin Cup is overrated) as they debate which golf films get it right, and which leave us wishing we'd watched Interstellar again instead.TGJ Podcast is presented by TitleistThe Golfer's Journal is proudly reader-supported since 2017.
