Guest: Mark Wigginton   Guest Bio: Mark Wigginton is a seasoned coach, consultant, and strategy advisor with over 30 years of sales expertise. As the founder of Focusing On Results, Mark combines deep insights into human behavior with actionable strategies to help his clients achieve personal and professional growth. Since 2001, he's worked as a coach and consultant to business development executives and teams, helping business professionals clarify goals, strengthen teams, and cultivate their growth. His many years in sales taught him the power of focused goal-setting and resilience, lessons that are integral to his coaching approach today. In addition to his professional accomplishments, his personal journey reflects his dedication to personal growth and achievement. Starting as a “couch slouch,” at 45, he transformed his life through disciplined goal-setting, ultimately completing 18 marathons and an Ironman triathlon. This personal experience helps him deeply understand and support clients on their own transformation journeys.   Key Points: Career Journey and Sales Training: Mark's career evolved in three phases—starting with technology sales, transitioning to community mental health, and later working as a management consultant, sales trainer, and coach. His early sales training emphasized customer focus, earning the right to advance in sales, and persuasive involvement. His work as a counselor taught him the importance of listening and focusing on the customer's needs, skills he later integrated into his sales approach.   Ironman and Marathon Experience: Mark's late start in endurance sports (running and triathlons) at 45 helped him develop discipline, which he applied to sales, emphasizing the importance of goal setting, consistency, and incremental progress.   Goal Setting Framework: Mark advocates for breaking down larger goals into smaller, achievable steps, using the ABCs of goal setting: Accept reality, focus on the basics, and maintain consistency. This applies to both athletic training and sales.   Sales Goal Setting for Teams: Mark emphasizes the importance of empowering salespeople to set their own goals, which leads to higher motivation and ownership. Managers should involve their team members in the goal-setting process to achieve better results.   Customer Focus and Communication: Salespeople must adapt their messages to the right audience within an organization—senior leaders versus operations staff—ensuring relevancy to each group's needs.   Guest Links:  Free downloadable tools: www.focusingonresults.com       About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault. The vault is packed full of free gifts from sales leaders, sales experts, marketing gurus and revenue generation experts.  Download your free gift, 81 Tools to Grow Your Sales & Your Business Faster, More Easily & More Profitably.

In this episode, Christine, Catherine and I delve into a subject that is both timely and essential – the dynamics of interracial friendships and the impact of these relationships on the journey of parenting. Their new book, Rebecca, Not Becky follows two upper-class stay-at-home mothers (one white, one Black) - who are tasked with “Making a (blank) Friend.” [fill in: white or black, accordingly). The backdrop is a "perfect" suburbia where these women must coexist and navigate motherhood, friendship, and the true meaning of sisterhood amidst the backdrop of America's all-too-familiar racial reckoning. The authors share their own experiences with parenting and how to answer some of the questions we're not quite sure how to answer.

About the book: De'Andrea Whitman, her husband Malik, and their 5-year-old daughter, Nina, are new to the upper-crust white suburb of Rolling Hills, Virginia—a move motivated by circumstance rather than choice. De'Andrea is heartbroken to leave her comfortable life in the Black oasis of Atlanta, and between her mother-in-law's Alzheimer's diagnosis, her daughter starting kindergarten, and the overwhelming whiteness of Rolling Hills, she finds herself struggling to adjust to her new community. To ease the transition, her therapist proposes a challenge: make a white girlfriend. When Rebecca Myland learns about her new neighbors, the Whitmans, she's thrilled. As chair of the Parent Diversity Committee at her daughters' school, she's championed racial diversity in the community—and what could be better than a brand-new Black family? It's serendipitous when her daughter, Isabella, and Nina become best friends on the first day of kindergarten. Now, Rebecca can put everything she's learned about antiracism into practice—especially those oh-so-informative social media posts. And finally, the Parent Diversity Committee will have some… well, diversity. Following her therapist's suggestion, De'Andrea reluctantly joins Rebecca's committee. The painfully earnest white woman is so overly eager it makes De'Andrea wonder if Rebecca's therapist told her to make a Black friend! But when Rolling Hill's rising racial sentiments bring the two women together in common cause, they find it isn't the only thing they have in common.

Tracey Wigginton, who became infamously known as the Lesbian Vampire Killer, achieved notoriety for the brutal and merciless murder of Edward Clyde Baldock in 1989. This heinous act was carried out with the involvement of three accomplices. The motive behind the murder of Baldock was rooted in Wigginton's professed vampiric cravings, as she asserted a need for human blood to sustain her existence.

Tony Wagner is one of the world's most respected and distinguished Educational thinkers. Where the names of John Dewey, John Holt, Piaget, Wigginton and others have been on the lips of prospective teachers and educators in the past, today, and in future years Tony Wagner's name will be joined with them. Why? Because Tony Wagner, for more than 20 years has been urging and cajoling political, economic and educational leaders, as well as citizens, to recognize that rethinking education in this age of innovations is urgently needed. Not simply reform of the outdated “seat-time” model we have employed for generations but a recognition that the world has changed and our system for educating citizens and entrepreneurs must reflect the new world in which we live.You'll understand after listening why I wanted to speak with Tony for this special edition of our “Rediscovering Our Song” series. As you might guess, I am an enthusiastic proponent of Tony Wagner's ideas. I think after listening to this podcast, and following some of the links on our show notes to learn more, you will be as well.

Dane Wigginton has been researching and exposing clandestine geo-engineering efforts since 2002. He first became interested in weather modification when he noticed the decline in the energy output of solar panels due to a strange increase in cloud cover and the impact of acidic rain on pristine forests in the Lake Shasta area. His website geoengineeringwatch.org contains multiple documents and patents going back to the late 1800s showing how geo-engineering efforts have been pursued as a means of controlling the planet. In this Exopolitics Today interview, Wigginton discusses the incontrovertible data that geo-engineering has been occurring and used to steer hurricanes, create droughts, earthquakes, and events that are part of a secret geopolitical agenda. He believes that the Georgia Guidestones revealed the true intent behind weather modification of reducing the planet's population to 500 million. He also responds to questions about the dual use of weather modification technologies as energy weapons that can be used against satellites and UFOs, whether of human or non-human origin.

Tune in for today's industry updates.

Many people in Celina, Texas have heard of the famous "Tuesday Night Massacre" by now. In this episode, Host Ron Lyons deep dives into the Celina, Texas city council meeting from June 14, 2022 where four city council members (Wendie Wigginton, Jay Pierce, Philip Ferguson and Tony Griggs) devised a plan to terminate (forcibly vacate) every citizen member's position on every single board and commission (except the Board of Adjustments) on the exact night that two of those four council members (Ferguson and Griggs) had just sworn in. A plan in which, unfortunately, they were successful in carrying out.  In order for such a plan to be undertaken on the first night of Ferguson and Griggs service on the council, there had to be discussions and plans made between each of them and Wigginton and Pierce. The term collusion certainly fits this situation and "if" Celina, Texas residents knew this took place, it could certainly create doubt and distrust between between the citizens and council. This move has been seen by most as dangerous, similar to twirling a loaded gun on your finger -perhaps you make it through just fine and look like a real showman, or perhaps you destroy life as we know it in Celina, Texas. Supporters of the four instigators of the Tuesday Night Massacre will quickly point to the fact that no major harm was done. In other words, in spite of the risks willfully taken by these four council members, we got lucky. But, it isn't the outcome that is the problem. Instead, it's their willingness to gamble with the future and the vision of what is arguably one of the most amazing cities in Texas. As bad as the Russian Roulette game was that was forced upon the City of Celina by these four council members, there is sadly, more. One specific instance was when Wigginton and Ferguson decided (knowing they held the majority on city council and therefore could pass anything they desired) to put City Manager Jason Laumer on the council agenda to force his termination. (As a side note, approximately three months prior to Wigginton and Ferguson's effort to put Laumer on the agenda for termination, the Celina City Council had voted to not only renew, but to extend Jason Laumer's employment contract with Celina, a move that would indicate their satisfaction with his performance as City Manager.) Ferguson ultimately responded to the outpouring of support for Laumer and ended up changing his intention to help terminate Laumer. Without Ferguson's vote, the council would;d have been split and the Mayor would have to break the tie, presumably in favor of keeping Laumer in his position as City Manager, therefore Wigginton pulled Laumer from the agenda and to this day, Jason Laumer still serves as Celina City Manager. And, it's a great thing that this effort failed because a third party study of the job satisfaction of City of Celina employees (over 250 of them) and culture of the workplace within the City of Celina was undertaken. The results would either reflect that Council Member Wigginton was correct in her desire to terminate City Manager Laumer, or it would show that she was incorrect and that Laumer was in fact, doing a good job. The results? Stellar! As it turns out, the results of the report show that City Manager Jason Laumer has created a Celina workforce that is very happy in their jobs and that they love the culture working for the City of Celina. These are uncomfortable issues to address, and most people do not have the two hours and twenty minutes to watch the council meeting from June 14th, 2022 and were not able to attend. Therefore, Host Ron Lyons takes us on a tour of the critically dangerous steps taken by the new majority of the Celina City Council on the night now known as The Tuesday Night Massacre.

In the original Bram Stoker novel, vampire Count Dracula uses mysterious mind-control powers to feed his insatiable need for blood. He doesn't always hunt alone—he prefers to use hapless humans as tools to get what he wants. For such an old story, it sure does match up with the kind of manipulation we tend to see in the real-life cases we cover. And in Brisbane, Australia in 1989, life would imitate art in an almost literal way, as an obsessed young woman drew three others into her murderous web.

I've been struggling with how to cover a few different companies, topics, or movements for awhile. The lack of covering their stories thus far has little to do with their impact but just trying to find where to put them in the history of computing. One of the most challenging is Apple. This is because there isn't just one Apple. Instead there are stages of the company, each with their own place in the history of computers.  Today we can think of Apple as one of the Big 5 tech companies, which include Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. But there were times in the evolution of the company where things looked bleak. Like maybe they would get gobbled up by another tech company. To oversimplify the development of Apple, we'll break up their storied ascent into four parts: Apple Computers: This story covers the mid-1970s to mid 1980s and covers Apple rising out of the hobbyist movement and into a gangbuster IPO. The Apple I through III families all centered on one family of chips and took the company into the 90s. The Macintosh: The rise and fall of the Mac covers the introduction of the now-iconic Mac through to the Power Macintosh era.  Mac OS X: This part of the Apple story begins with the return of Steve Jobs to Apple and the acquisition of NeXT, looks at the introduction of the Intel Macs and takes us through to the transition to the Apple M1 CPU. Post PC: Steve Jobs announced the “post PC” era in 2007, and in the coming years the sales of PCs fell for the first time, while tablets, phones, and other devices emerged as the primary means people used devices.  We'll start with the early days, which I think of as one of the four key Apple stages of development. And those early days go back far past the days when Apple was hocking the Apple I. They go to high school. Jobs and Woz Bill Fernandez and Steve Wozniak built a computer they called “The Cream Soda Computer” in 1970 when Bill was 16 and Woz was 20. It was a crude punch card processing machine built from some parts Woz got from the company he was working for at the time. Fernandez introduced Steve Wozniak to a friend from middle school because they were both into computers and both had a flare for pranky rebelliousness. That friend was Steve Jobs.  By 1972, the pranks turned into their first business. Wozniak designed Blue Boxes, initially conceived by Cap'n Crunch John Draper, who got his phreaker name from a whistle in a Cap'n Crunch box that made a tone in 2600 Hz that sent AT&T phones into operator mode. Draper would actually be an Apple employee for a bit. They designed a digital version and sold a few thousand dollars worth.  Jobs went to Reed College. Wozniak went to Berkely. Both dropped out.  Woz got a sweet gig at HP designing calculators, where Jobs had worked a summer job in high school.  India to find enlightenment. When Jobs became employee number 40 at Atari, he got Wozniak to help create Breakout. That was the year The Altair 8800 was released and Wozniak went to the first meeting of a little club called the Homebrew Computer Club in 1975 when they got an Altair so the People's Computer Company could review it. And that was the inspiration. Having already built one computer with Fernandez, Woz designed schematics for another. Going back to the Homebrew meetings to talk through ideas and nerd out, he got it built and proud of his creation, returned to Homebrew with Jobs to give out copies of the schematics for everyone to play with. This was the age of hackers and hobbyists. But that was about to change ever so slightly.  The Apple I  Jobs had this idea. What if they sold the boards. They came up with a plan. Jobs sold his VW Microbus and Wozniak sold his HP-65 calculator and they got to work. Simple math. They could sell 50 boards for $40 bucks each and make some cash like they'd done with the blue boxes. But you know, a lot of people didn't know what to do with the board. Sure, you just needed a keyboard and a television, but that still seemed a bit much.  Then a little bigger plan - what if they sold 50 full computers. They went to the Byte Shop and talked them into buying 50 for $500. They dropped $20,000 on parts and netted a $5,000 return. They'd go on to sell about 200 of the Apple Is between 1976 and 1977. It came with a MOS 6502 chip running at a whopping 1 MHz and with 4KB of memory, which could go to 8. They provided Apple BASIC, as most vendors did at the time. That MOS chip was critical. Before it, many used an Intel or the Motorola 6800, which went for $175. But the MOS 6502 was just $25. It was an 8-bit microprocessor designed by a team that Chuck Peddle ran after leaving the 6800 team at Motorola. Armed with that chip at that price, and with Wozniak's understanding of what it needed to do and how it interfaced with other chips to access memory and peripherals, the two could do something new.  They started selling the Apple 1 and to quote an ad “the Apple comes fully assembled, tested & burned-in and has a complete power supply on-board, initial set-up is essentially “hassle free” and you can be running in minutes.” This really tells you something about the computing world at the time. There were thousands of hobbyists and many had been selling devices. But this thing had on-board RAM and you could just add a keyboard and video and not have to read LEDs to get output. The marketing descriptions were pretty technical by modern Apple standards, telling us something of the users. It sold for $666.66. They got help from Patty Jobs building logic boards. Jobs' friend from college Daniel Kottke joined for the summer, as did Fernandez and Chris Espinosa - now Apple's longest-tenured employee. It was a scrappy garage kind of company. The best kind.  They made the Apple I until a few months after they released the successor. But the problem with the Apple I was that there was only one person who could actually support it when customers called: Wozniak. And he was slammed, busy designing the next computer and all the components needed to take it to the mass market, like monitors, disk drives, etc. So they offered a discount for anyone returning the Apple I and destroyed most returned. Those Apple I computers have now been auctioned for hundreds of thousands of dollars all the way up to $1.75 million.  The Apple II They knew they were on to something. But a lot of people were building computers. They needed capital if they were going to bring in a team and make a go at things. But Steve Jobs wasn't exactly the type of guy venture capitalists liked to fund at the time. Mike Markkula was a product-marketing manager at chip makers Fairchild and Intel who retired early after making a small fortune on stock options. That is, until he got a visit from Steve Jobs. He brought money but more importantly the kind of assistance only a veteran of a successful corporation who'd ride that wave could bring. He brought in Michael "Scotty" Scott, employee #4, to be the first CEO and they got to work on mapping out an early business plan. If you notice the overlapping employee numbers, Scotty might have had something to do with that… As you may notice by Wozniak selling his calculator, at the time computers weren't that far removed from calculators. So Jobs brought in a calculator designer named Jerry Manock to design a plastic injection molded case, or shell, for the Apple II. They used the same chip and a similar enough motherboard design. They stuck with the default 4KB of memory and provided jumpers to make it easier to go up to 48. They added a cassette interface for IO. They had a toggle circuit that could trigger the built-in speaker. And they would include two game paddles. This is similar to bundles provided with the Commodore and other vendors of the day. And of course it still worked with a standard TV - but now that TVs were mostly color, so was the video coming out of the Apple II. And all of this came at a starting price of $1,298. The computer initially shipped with a version of BASIC written by Wozniak but Apple later licensed the Microsoft 6502 BASIC to ship what they called Applesoft BASIC, short for Apple and Micorosft. Here, they turned to Randy Wiggington who was Apple's employee #6 and had gotten rides to the Homebrew Computer Club from Wozniak as a teenager (since he lived down the street). He and others added features onto Microsoft BASIC to free Wozniak to work on other projects. Deciding they needed a disk operating system, or DOS. Here, rather than license the industry standard CP/M at the time, Wigginton worked with Shepardson, who did various projects for CP/M and Atari.   The motherboard on the Apple II remains an elegant design. There were certain innovations that Wozniak made, like cutting down the number of DRAM chips by sharing resources between other components. The design was so elegant that Bill Fernandez had to join them as employee number four, in order to help take the board and create schematics to have it silkscreened.  The machines were powerful. All that needed juice. Jobs asked his former boss Al Alcorn for someone to help out with that. Rod Holt, employee number 5, was brought in to design the power supply. By implementing a switching power supply, as Digital Equipment had done in the PDP-11, rather than a transformer-based power supply, the Apple II ended up being far lighter than many other machines.  The Apple II was released in 1977 at the West Coast Computer Fair. It, along with the TRS-80 and the Commodore PET would become the 1977 Trinity, which isn't surprising. Remember Peddle who ran the 6502 design team - he designed the PET. And Steve Leininger was also a member of the Homebrew Computer Club who happened to work at National Semiconductor when Radio Shack/Tandy started looking for someone to build them a computer.  The machine was stamped with an Apple logo. Jobs hired Rob Janoff, a local graphic designer, to create the logo. This was a picture of an Apple made out of a rainbow, showing that the Apple II had color graphics. This rainbow Apple stuck and became the logo for Apple Computers until 1998, after Steve Jobs returned to Apple, when the Apple went all-black, but the silhouette is now iconic, serving Apple for 45 years and counting. The computers were an instant success and sold quickly. But others were doing well in the market. Some incumbents and some new. Red oceans mean we have to improve our effectiveness. So this is where Apple had to grow up to become a company. Markkula made a plan to get Apple to $500 million in sales in 10 years on the backs of his $92,000 investment and another $600,000 in venture funding.  They did $2.7 million dollars in sales in 1977. This idea of selling a pre-assembled computer to the general public was clearly resonating. Parents could use it to help teach their kids. Schools could use it for the same. And when we were done with all that, we could play games on it. Write code in BASIC. Or use it for business. Make some documents in Word Star, spreadsheets in VisiCalc, or use one of the thousands of titles available for the Mac. Sales grew 150x until 1980. Given that many thought cassettes were for home machines and floppies were for professional machines, it was time to move away from tape. Markkela realized this and had Wozniak design a floppy disk for the Apple II, which went on to be known as the Drive II. Wozniak had experience with disk controllers and studied the latest available. Wozniak again managed to come up with a value engineered design that allowed Apple to produce a good drive for less than any other major vendor at the time. Wozniak would actually later go on to say that it was one of his best designs (and many contemporaries agreed). Markkula filled gaps as well as anyone. He even wrote free software programs under the name of Johnny Appleseed, a name also used for years in product documentation. He was a classic hacker type of entrepreneur on their behalf, sitting in the guerrilla marketing chair some days or acting as president of the company others, and mentor for Jobs in other days.   From Hobbyists to Capitalists Here's the thing - I've always been a huge fan of Apple. Even in their darkest days, which we'll get to in later episodes, they represented an ideal. But going back to the Apple 1, they were nothing special. Even the Apple II. Osborne, Commodore, Vector Graphics, Atari, and hundreds of other companies were springing up, inspired first by that Altair and then by the rapid drop in the prices of chips.  The impact of the 1 megahertz barrier and cost of those MOS 6502 chips was profound. The MOS 6502 chip would be used in the Apple II, the Atari 2600, the Nintendo NES, the BBY Micro. And along with the Zylog Z80 and Intel 8080 would spark a revolution in personal computers. Many of those companies would disappear in what we'd think of as a personal computer bubble if there was more money in it. But those that survived, took things to an order of magnitude higher. Instead of making millions they were making hundreds of millions. Many would even go to war in a race to the bottom of prices. And this is where Apple started to differentiate themselves from the rest.  For starters, due to how anemic the default Altair was, most of the hobbyist computers were all about expansion. You can see it on the Apple I schematics and you can see it in the minimum of 7 expansion slots in the Apple II lineup of computers. Well, all of them except the IIc, marketed as a more portable type of device, with a handle and an RCA connection to a television for a monitor.  The media seemed to adore them. In an era of JR Ewing of Dallas, Steve Jobs was just the personality to emerge and still somewhat differentiate the new wave of computer enthusiasts. Coming at the tail end of an era of social and political strife, many saw something of themselves in Jobs. He looked the counter-culture part. He had the hair, but this drive. The early 80s were going to be all about the yuppies though - and Jobs was putting on a suit. Many identified with that as well. Fueled by the 150x sales performance shooting them up to $117M in sales, Apple filed for an IPO, going public in 1980, creating hundreds of millionaires, including at least 40 of their own employees. It was the biggest IPO since Ford in 1956, the same year Steve Jobs was born. The stock was filed at $14 and shot up to $29 on the first day alone, leaving Apple sitting pretty on a $1.778 valuation.  Scotty, who brought the champagne, made nearly a $100M profit. One of the Venture Capitalists, Arthur Rock, made over $21M on a $57,600 investment. Rock had been the one to convince the Shockley Semiconductor team to found Fairchild, a key turning point in putting silicon into the name of Silicon Valley. When Noyce and Moore left there to found Intel, he was involved. And he would stay in touch with Markkula, who was so enthusiastic about Apple that Rock invested and began a stint on the board of directors at Apple in 1978, often portrayed as the villain in the story of Steve Jobs. But let's think about something for a moment. Rock was a backer of Scientific Data Systems, purchased by Xerox in 1969, becoming the Xerox 500. Certainly not Xerox PARC and in fact, the anti-PARC, but certainly helping to connect Jobs to Xerox later as Rock served on the board of Xerox. The IPO Hangover Money is great to have but also causes problems. Teams get sidetracked trying to figure out what to do with their hauls. Like Rod Holt's $67M haul that day. It's a distraction in a time when executional excellence is critical. We have to bring in more people fast, which created a scenario Mike Scott referred to as a “bozo explosion.” Suddenly more people actually makes us less effective.  Growing teams all want a seat at a limited table. Innovation falls off as we rush to keep up with the orders and needs of existing customers. Bugs, bigger code bases to maintain, issues with people doing crazy things.  Taking our eyes off the ball and normalizing the growth can be hard. By 1981, Scotty was out after leading some substantial layoffs.  Apple stock was down. A big IPO also creates investments in competitors. Some of those would go on a race to the bottom in price.  Apple didn't compete on price. Instead, they started to plan the next revolution, a key piece of Steve Jobs emerging as a household name. They would learn what the research and computer science communities had been doing - and bring a graphical interface and mouse to the world with Lisa and a smaller project brought forward at the time by Jef Raskin that Jobs tried to kill - but one that Markkula not only approved, but kept Jobs from killing, the Macintosh.  Fernandez, Holt, Wigginton, and even Wozniak just drifted away or got lost in the hyper-growth of the company, as is often the case. Some came back. Some didn't. Many of us go through the same in rapidly growing companies.  Next (but not yet NeXT) But a new era of hackers was on the way. And a new movement as counter to the big computer culture as Jobs. But first, they needed to take a trip to Xerox. In the meantime, the Apple III was an improvement but proved that the Apple computer line had run its course. They released it in 1980 and recalled the first 14,000 machines and never peaked 75,000 machines sold, killing off the line in 1984. A special year.

On the 7th June 1972, 14 year old Judith Roberts set off on her bicycle from her home in Wigginton, Staffordshire. She had had a disagreement with her parents and had decided to go for a quick bike ride around the village. She set off at 5:30pm however a number of hours passed and Judith had not returned. Her parents reported her as missing and a huge search was carried out in the area. Unfortunately her body would later be found just a mile from her home. A 17 year old man named Andrew Evans would later be convicted for her murder however this conviction was not all that it seemed at the time and he would later be found innocent of the crime.Important information provided by:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/36649.stmhttps://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/tamworth-yorkshire-ripper-judith-roberts-15769992https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/shows/murdertown/articles/tamworth-crime-profilehttps://www.staffordshire-live.co.uk/news/local-news/how-new-evidence-links-unsolved-2503257https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ppieCQAAQBAJ&pg=PT103&lpg=PT103&dq=judith+roberts+murder&source=bl&ots=yE13nG4CpS&sig=ACfU3U2-T0wtDKMD3NuQxmnCRwou9HgN8g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjAkPOF95DjAhX_ShUIHVRUAJk4ChDoATAHegQICRAB#v=onepage&q=judith%20roberts%20murder&f=falsehttps://www.theguardian.com/society/1999/may/12/guardiansocietysupplement4https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/jun/09/jeevanvasagarhttps://www.findmypast.co.uk/Music by: www.dl-sounds.com (http://www.dl-sounds.com/)Follow us on social media:Twitter- @theunseenpodFacebook- The Unseen Podcast

Dubbed the "Vampire Killer", Queensland woman Tracey Wigginton served 22 years in prison for the murder of 47-year-old Edward Baldock in 1989. Wigginton, then 24, and three other women lured Baldock into a car and took him to a park on the banks of the Brisbane River, where she stabbed him 27 times. In 1991 she pleaded guilty to the murder and the lurid details of the crime shocked the nation. It was reported Wigginton was obsessed with the Occult and murdered Baldock because she had a "need to feed" on his blood. Journalist and true crime author Megan Norris has followed the case ever since she moved to Australia from England in 1990 and speaks to Australian True Crime about the crime and the very disturbed history of Tracey Wigginton, who was released from jail in 2012.Warning: please be advised this episode contains graphic content.Show notes for Episode 90:Your hosts are Meshel Laurie and Emily WebbWith thanks to Megan Norris and guest co-host Vikki PetraitisIf you liked this episode, you might like Episode 3 - On Father’s Day: Robert FarquharsonLike us on Facebook ​Follow us on Instagram or TwitterSupport us on PatreonListen on Apple PodcastsListen on Google PodcastsListen on SpotifyIf you have any information on the cases covered by this podcast, please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.Thank you for listening!

Ewing and Wigginton talk about one of their most successful products -- reclining theater chairs for some of the movie theaters in northeast Mississippi -- and how the college prepared them for their careers. In the final segment, the TigerTalk podcast says goodbye to one of the fixtures -- Kenny Paul Geno as he embarks on another educational adventure seeking his master's degree at a four-year university. Geno gives his final report of what the first few days of school have been like for the students and gives a look at all the ways a person can connect with the college. If you haven't subscribed to the podcast, now would be a good time to subscribe to stay up-to-date on all the happenings on the Northeast campuses and hear in-depth interviews with guests each week.

It’s in the news almost every day. Another white police officer has shot another young black man. People march through the streets crying for justice. Some even riot, loot and call for the death of cops in retaliation. They are followed by politicians who take a tragic situation and use it to their own political benefit. This is the tangled mess that is racism in America. But is racism the real issue or is there a root cause that needs to be dealt with? Is racism alive and well in America? Join Kevin Conover as he discusses this important issue with three special guests. Glen McKinney, Theo Goodwin (aka. Protege) and Daniel Wigginton are three African American men who have experienced the reality of racism in America. They will reveal how deep the problem goes and practical steps that everyone can take to help solve the issue. They will also discuss the role that the church has to play. For far too long the church has been asleep at the wheel. Sadly, the church has largely remained silent and has failed to reach out to people and teach them what the Bible has to say on this important issue. As a result, the younger generation has largely lost interest in attending church and learning what Jesus had to say about racism. You do not want to miss this show. Listen in as two generations of black and white men come together in a spirit of unity to try to begin to heal the racial divide.

The fragmentation in the U.S. healthcare system for the care of chronic conditions, like diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and depression, causes the health of individuals with these chronic conditions to deteriorate while driving up expenses in emergency room visits and inpatient stays, says Steve Wigginton, president of Health Integrated, a health management solutions company. In this podcast, Wigginton describes how by closing gaps in care, addressing the interplay between medical and psychosocial health and providing day-to-day support for these patients, organizations can avoid costly emergency room visits and inpatient stays.
