In this gripping episode, Clay dives into a disturbing incident at Little Blessings Daycare in Yazoo City, where a 9-month-old tested positive for methamphetamine after a day in childcare. He unpacks the chilling details, from the baby's inconsolable screams to the Mississippi Department of Health's meager $50 fine, and speculates on how such a shocking breach could occur—could it be a diaper bag mishap or something more sinister? Clay also examines a tragic murder-suicide at a Brandon McDonald's, revealing new details about a possible love triangle and the shooter's troubled past, including a prior manslaughter charge. He challenges the narrative around mental health and public sympathy, urging listeners to seek help (dial 988 for crisis support) while condemning the act of taking others down in personal despair. The episode heats up with a discussion on Brandon's controversial push to relocate a Confederate statue, exposing Mayor Butch Lee's questionable motives and the city's backdoor tactics. Clay questions the erasure of history while acknowledging the complexities of cultural symbols, sparking a debate that's sure to resonate. Finally, he shares a personal saga involving a local figure, Justin Fowler, whose obsessive behavior led to legal consequences, underscoring the importance of protecting oneself against unhinged threats.

YAZOO CITY, Miss. (WLBT) - An officer was arrested after being found with a meth pipe in his patrol car. The Belzoni officer, who has been identified as James Jackson, was arrested by Yazoo City police on October 5. According to Yazoo City Police Chief Terry Gann, officers found Jackson passed out in a patrol car with the meth pipe in his hand. Marijuana was also found in the glovebox. After refusing a sobriety test, Jackson was charged with possession of paraphernalia and DUI refusal. He has since been released on bond.
In May 1904, the residents of Yazoo City, Mississippi witnessed a devastating fire that destroyed half of their town. This fire was believed to be the result of a curse spoken by a woman known as the Witch of Yazoo, just before her death two decades earlier. Willie Morris, a writer and native of Mississippi, shared the legend in his book, "Good Old Boy." Following his passing in 1999, he was buried in Glenwood Cemetery in Yazoo City, 13 paces due south of the Witch of Yazoo's grave. Many mysteries surround this tale: Was the witch a historical figure, a character inspired by a resident, or a legend passed down through generations? Who rests beneath the marker commemorating one of the South's most famous witches? Want more Southern Mysteries?

Interview with New Orleans-based singer-songwriter Lynn Drury. Lynn Drury has been performing, in one arena or another, her entire life. At the ripe old age of five she won a 4-H state competition in Mississippi in pole bending. If you don't know what pole bending is, it's alittle like barrel racing, Lynn says. That's horse talk. In a word, rodeos. Once you know that much about Lynn, you understand her approach. She picked up the guitar at 26, went at it like a pro, and she's never stopped working. Her inspiration is her environment and since the late nineties, that environment has been New Orleans. The transition for the Yazoo City-born Drury was smooth. She says jasmine smells like honeysuckle, and you believe her. Sultry, sweet songs turn funky, and it's all in the same neighborhood. https://www.lynndrury.com/

Years ago, Teri and I did an internship in Yazoo City. We were almost through with seminary and just had our first child. I was 22 hours short of graduating from seminary and was deciding if I would take all the classes in one semester or stretch it out over two. But we were broke, Teri wasn't going back to work, and everything we had was old and worn out. Many of you have been in a similar situation of wrestling money, an expanding family, and school so you can relate to our predicament. And then God showed up! I got a chance to do an internship in Yahoo City, Mississippi, a place I wanted to be. So we moved, put off school for a year, and got settled into raising a family and starting a life of ministry. We immediately loved Delta life, except for one thing—we were not prepared for the smell. Mississippi Chemical Company was located just outside of town and a smell hung over the town like a fog, sort of like living downwind from a paper mill. Anyway, we commented how we could never get used to it. But the body is amazing, and eventually our senses just sort of filtered it out so that we didn't even notice it anymore. After a while, we would actually be shocked when people would visit and ask, “What is that stench?” The magnitude of the Incarnation is like that, as well. We are so familiar with the birth narratives—those of us who grew up with this—that, as time goes by, we just don't see it with the kind of awe and wonder we once did. So my prayer this Advent, as well as all Advents, is that we will see the magnitude of what God was doing 2000 years ago as if it were the first time. I mean, God showing up as an infant? A virgin having a child? Angels singing from on high? If we can't be struck by awe at this, what will move us? Join us Sunday as we ponder the Annunciation, the time when God essentially tells a baby (young woman) she will be having a baby, but not just any baby…

Thirty-six basketball games in six days. That's the task facing Scorebook Live's Tyler Cleveland this week at the MHSAA State Basketball championships at Mississippi Coliseum.

Mississippi annually has a presence in the Super Bowl, but never before quite like this Super Bowl Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles play for the NFL Championship. Eight native-born Mississippians dot the rosters of the Chiefs and Eagles. That's more than any other state including much more populous Texas, Georgia and Ohio, which tie for second with seven. Tony Woolfolk, Fletcher Cox's high school coach, joins us to talk about how Yazoo City, a town of 10,000, produced two Super Bowlers in Cox and his Eagles teammate Kenny Gainwell, and why Mississippi continues to produce so many of football's greatest players.

I met a man who works at a federal prison in nearby Yazoo City. He is a part-time carpenter and did some work for me. For some odd reason, he went home and googled me and found my testimony online. He found out about my book, Miracle on Luckie Street, and asked me about it. I told him I wrote it to try, and help lost souls, especially those in correctional facilities . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2022/10/then-along-came-god/

To celebrate our exhibition "A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration," this podcast explores conversations with Mississippians on both sides of the Great Migration: those that left and those that stayed. This weekly limited series dives deep into how the U.S. has evolved due to this historical phenomenon that saw more than six million African Americans leave the South. Food, music, and literature are just a few of the topics to be highlighted. Brought to you by the Mississippi Museum of Art, in partnership with the Mississippi Arts Commission and Mississippi Public Broadcasting.In today's episode, Monique talks with Mississippi chefs Nia Minard and Enrika Williams. Nia spent her childhood in Yazoo City, where she learned the importance of Southern food, including fish frys, collard greens, and pimiento cheese. Enrika is a West Point native who's family taught her how food brings communities together. In this conversation, that is sure to leave you hungry, both chefs share how food keeps them connected to Mississippi, archiving family recipes, and what effect food has on our community and our memories.Committed to honesty, equity, and inclusion, the Mississippi Museum of Art is a leader in engaging art, artists, and participants in the critical work of reckoning with the past, connecting with each other in the present, and envisioning a future without division.

A week ago the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Dobbs vs. Jackson's Womens Health Organization. We've been building up to this for a long time. In 1973, when the Court first delivered the Roe v. Wade ruling, 30 U.S. states banned abortion without exception and 16 more allowed it only in narrow cases. Abortion was generally available in just four U.S. states. But the Court of the 1970s was even more radical than it is today. So it simply invented a “right” to abortion out of whole cloth. Since that decision, more than 60 million children have been butchered in the name of choice. There is a 6-3 majority of Republican-appointed justices. Every single one of those justices was vetted by religious conservatives and the Federalist Society. Every single one was sold to the base as a rock-solid pick for overturning Roe and removing this hideous stain on the nation's soul. Will the Court deliver this time? Senate Candidate Kathy Barnette joins us. Was Senator David Perdue thinking of Georgia when he bought up to $245,000 of Pfizer stock before the pandemic was public? Stew Peters Show investigative journalist Edward Szall digs into the newly Trump endorsed governor's candidate and details other problems with the ‘America-Last' establishment pick. Edward Szall investigates. Join Dr. Jane Ruby and Stew Peters as they answer questions from Dr. Ruby's own viewers in Telegram on things such as the risks of the vaccine and the ever encroaching booster shots. Doctor John Witcher always believes in putting his patients first instead of the dictates of medical tyrants. And that's why he was just fired from his job at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Yazoo City, Mississippi for prescribing ivermectin to his Covid patients. The hospital insisted that he give the patients Remdesivir, which has severe or even catastrophic side effects yet is the treatment approved by the FDA. Ivermectin, which has almost no side effects and a long history of use for all kinds of ailments, and even if it doesn't work certainly has no downside, is still prohibited. Doctor Witcher says he still has three patients in the hospital and he wants to help treat them, but he won't even be allowed onto the premises of the hospital. He joins us to discuss. Rebecca Brewer is a former Marine and Iraq War veteran. No doubt she enlisted because she wanted to serve her country. Instead, she was used to fight an unnecessary war and might have been experimented on in the bargain. She joins us to discuss.

Kris tells the story of the witch of yazoo city was ostracized from the town. She may have been a serial killer and at the time of her death she cursed the town, changing the trajectory of Yazoo city forever. This one is true crime and plenty of spook and folklore. Special thanks to Faye Hall fir telling me this story for the first time and Patrick Hall for research assistance.
Why did Yazoo City, Mississippi burn down in 1904? Locals say it was because of a witch's curse — and with good reason! According to legend, a sheriff chased the witch into quicksand, where she told him she would burn Yazoo City in twenty years. When she was buried, they placed a chain link fence around her grave to prevent her from completing the curse. But after the fire, the chains were broken. More about the witch, the grave, the fire, and the chain in this Mississippi folklore!But first, Zoey talks about an island in Beaufort, South Carolina where humans are forbidden to go. Why? You won't guess correctly on the first try. Or the second, or third, or fourth. Maybe the 100th, but then you'd be like, "Whaaat?"Sources: https://hauntedhospitality.wordpress.com/2021/09/21/ep-27-the-witch-the-grave-the-fire-and-the-chain-the-witch-of-yazoo/

THE Presentations Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
I was confirmed into the Anglican Church when I was twelve years of age. I remember it was the first time I ever wore a tie in my life. Prior to that, every week I had to ride my bicycle to the church after school and do bible studies with other kids with the Minister in order to pass the test to be able to confirmed. My parents were not religious at all, but I guess because Christianity is such a central component to our belief systems and literature, that they wanted me to get the basics. Years later I discovered Zig Ziglar, one of the most famous modern day sales trainers. He was raised in the Deep South of America where bible studies is very big. I have read his books and watched his videos. I am fan. I noticed he was an incredible communicator. I also noticed that a lot of his sales stories where like the parables he would have read in his “red letter” bible, that is where the words attributed to Jesus are written in red. Australians are not particularly religious like Americans are, but I did recognise the power of these parables in communication. I don't mean the actual quotation of the parables themselves, but the storytelling structure. The parable structure always has a learning component wrapped up in the story being told. Often in business, we want to achieve the same thing for our audience. We might be giving a “persuade” speech rather than simple “inform” speech” or we may be calling for the audience to “take action” rather than just “entertain” them. The parables are always from real life, rather than being a confection created for effect. This makes it easy for us to identify with the story. When I mentioned going through the confirmation process as a child, I am sure many readers went through a similar experience, including those who are from Muslim or Buddhist religious belief systems. Our real life stories make it easy to connect with our audience, because they can understand or emphasise with what we are saying. The parables are also very easy to understand. The message is crystal clear. Do this and things will be good. Do that and things will be bad. This simplicity is what makes the storytelling so effective. Zig Ziglar was a master of telling his stories which each had a lesson there for us in sales to absorb. They were from his experience or the experience of others from the real world, not from the “how it should be world”. This is the danger when we become speakers. We pontificate from on high, from way above the clouds, as if we were superhumans who never made a mistake or had a failure. The ego has to be strong to tell a story against yourself. We have grown up supersensitive to being criticised and so it is like kryptonite, we avoid it completely. Criticising yourself sounds crazy, so we only talk about what a legend we are. Zig understood that audiences love a good redemption tale. Of course we like to hear how to do things so that they go well, that parable is always in fashion. Interestingly though, we often feel distant from this model story of bravery, perseverance against the odds, intelligence, strength and wisdom. We naturally aspire to those things, but they can feel like they are a million miles away from where we are at this moment. Now failure, disaster, train wrecks all feel much closer to our reality and of course we want to avoid those. Parable stories on what no to do are much more popular than the ones on what we should be doing. When things go pear shaped, don't miss the chance to take a note on that for a future talk. The events may feel radioactive at the time, but get it down on the record, so that you can retell it when the pain has subsided. Particularly include the characters involved, the extent of the damage and the depth of the heroics or stupidity involved. Don't be limited to your own disasters. Comb through the media and books for other people's disasters, which can then be trotted out as a parable for doom and gloom. Storytelling master Zig Ziglar copied the parables, probably without even giving it a second thought, because it was so much a part of his cultural upbringings in Yazoo City, Mississippi. As presenters we can find our own blue ribbon stories of triumph and catastrophe. We can wrap these up in simple, true renditions of reality that our audience can identify with and easily recall. The parables are well remembered for a reason – they work as a storytelling structure and we can adopt it for our own talks too. In ten minutes, I bet you can come up with at least two or three good incidents that have parable like qualities, which can then be fleshed out into mini-stories of business good and evil for an audience. Give it a try!

Curtis Austin became the Assistant Director of the Center for Oral History and Cultural Heritage in 2000, before assuming the Directorship one year later. During his seven year tenure, the Center would expand its Civil Rights Documentation Project, becoming the definitive resource for researchers, teachers and museums seeking answers on the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi. In this episode, Austin recalls growing in Yazoo City, Mississippi, the son of sharecroppers. He recounts his education and early career. His first oral history interview after becoming assistant director of the Center was of 104 year old King Evans. He remembers how it changed the way he thought about voting rights. As director of the oral history program at USM, Austin interviewed some key players in the Civil Rights Movement. He expresses pride in the Center's work and discusses its importance. Austin also discusses the Roots Reunion, a live Americana music program presented annually by the Center during the 1990s and 2000s. He describes the program's impact. The Center for Oral History and Cultural Heritage has always relied on grant funding for special programs and projects. Austin expresses disappointment in the university's unwillingness to assist the Center financially during lean years and questions their level of support for this “hidden gem” during previous administrations.

================================================ == SUSCRIBETE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1 ================================================ == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADOLESCENTES 2021 “SIN MIEDO AL FRACASO” Narrado por: Isa valen Desde: Buenos Aires, Argentina Una cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church 15 DE MAYO MISIÓN EL RENACIMIENTO DE UNA ESTRELLA - 4º PARTE «Si por actuar con rectitud han de sufrir, ¡dichosos ustedes! No tengan miedo a nadie, ni se asusten ». 1 Ped. 3:14 Trajeron al hermano Stephenson, nuestro trabajador, y luego saquearon la iglesia, quemaron los libros, mapas, gráficos, etcétera. Buscaban al hermano Casey, nuestro principal hermano de raza negra en ese lugar, pero había escapado a tiempo, por lo que no lograron alcanzarlo. »Luego fueron a la casa del hermano Olvin, lo capturaron y lo azotaron con un látigo de cuero. Creo que lo habrían matado si no hubiera sido por un hombre blanco muy amable que vio lo que ocurría y les ordenó que dejaran de azotarlo. No le obedecieron al principio, pero el hombre sacó su revólver y dijo que el siguiente hombre que golpeara al hermano Olvin se las vería con él, así que pararon. »En esos días le dispararon a la esposa del hermano Olvin en una pierna, pero no la hirieron de gravedad. Llevaron al hermano Stephenson a la estación de tren más cercana y lo enviaron lejos del lugar. Publicaron un aviso en la iglesia prohibiéndome regresar, y prohibiendo que el Estrella Matutina atracara entre Yazoo City y Vicksburg. »Todos estos problemas surgieron debido a nuestros esfuerzos por ayudar a las personas de color. Les dimos ropa a los que la necesitaban y comida a los que tenían hambre. Les enseñamos algunas técnicas de agricultura ya sembrar diferentes semillas como maní y frijoles, pero con un alto precio, ya que muchas personas de raza blanca se ofendieron »(carta de James Edson White a Elena G. de White del 25 de mayo de 1899, citada en Ron Graybill, Contextos históricos de las declaraciones de Elena G. de White sobre las relaciones raciales, tesis inédita, Seminario Teológico Adventista, 1968, p. 50). Pero para ese momento las escuelas e iglesias se multiplicaban, así que la obra no se detenía. Aunque persistían los prejuicios raciales, la Iglesia en el sur de Estados Unidos se multiplicó entre personas de todos los orígenes, v muchos mejoraron su calidad de vida. En 1900, Edson y su esposa se mudaron a Nashville, Tennessee, y se instalaron en una antigua granja de pollos. Allí establecieron lo que se convertiría luego en la Southern Publishing Association, la cual suministraría a la iglesia libros, revistas y otros productos innovadores durante los siguientes ochenta años.
Mississippians begin the road to rebuild and recovery after a flurry of tornadoes damaged some communities Sunday evening.Then, hospital leadership responds to the latest Executive Order lifting pandemic-related social distancing restrictions.Plus, state health officials explain the latest in the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.Segment 1:Damage assessments are underway across Mississippi following a wave of severe weather that destroyed homes and snapped trees. The National Weather Service in Jackson sent crews out to impacted communities yesterday after suspected tornadoes swept through parts of central Mississippi Sunday evening. The northeastern part of the state - especially the Tupelo area, was also hard hit. Experts have confirmed at least five tornados statewide, and more assessments are underway. In Yazoo County, at least one EF-1 storm has been verified. Meteorologist Felecia Bowser was on the scene eight miles south of Yazoo City yesterday where she shared more about the assessment process with our Kobee Vance.Segment 2:With statewide mask mandates and capacity restrictions now a thing of the past, health leaders say it's incumbent upon Mississippi residents to continue exercising caution to protect themselves from the coronavirus. Last week, Governor Tate Reeves rescinded nearly all remaining restrictions on venue capacity and social distancing. Ryan Kelly, executive director of the Mississippi Rural Hospital Association, tells our Desare Frazier people must take responsibility for protecting themselves from COVID 19 and spreading the virus.Segment 3:Health officials are continuing the vaccine rollout in Mississippi, despite declining demand. Only about 25 percent of Mississippians have are fully vaccinated, and vaccine appointments through department of health sites are being left unfilled. Four months into the wider distribution of the vaccine, cases are trending down but transmission is still present. In long-term care facilities, the number of outbreaks have more than doubled - from 15 to 32 - since April 11th. We hear from State Epidemiologist Dr. Paul Byers and State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

“I just believe if you’re elected and they imbue you with trust and faith then you represent them as well as you can…we did that over four terms in the US Congress, went on to become a cabinet secretary, and it’s my goal now to become the next United States Senator for the same reasons.” On today’s special mid-week episode, Secretary Mike Espy is here. Well known as the first African-American congressman from Mississippi since Reconstruction and then as the Secretary of Agriculture for President Bill Clinton, he is now running for the Unites States Senate. In this rare, personal look into the life of such a public figure, we hear moving tales about Espy’s childhood in Yazoo City, Mississippi, and we learn about the experiences that convinced him a life of public service was what he desired most. We also hear, of course, about his favorite music—being from Mississippi, he has lots of music opinions. Mike Espy was born in Yazoo City, MS, and graduated from Howard University and Santa Clara Law School. He returned to practice law in the Mississippi Delta and then became Assistant Secretary of State. He then became Mississippi’s Assistant Attorney General where he was the Director of Consumer Protection. Later, he was elected the first African American Congressman from Mississippi since the Reconstruction Era. After four terms in the US Congress, President-elect Bill Clinton nominated him to be Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture, the first Black person to hold that position, too. He negotiated foreign trade deals expanding markets for American farmers and took on entrenched interests to adopt badly needed reforms in the food inspection system. He is now running for the Unites States Senate. He lives with his wife, Portia, in Jackson, Mississippi, and is a proud father and grandfather. -------------------------------------- Please consider supporting Talking Beats with Daniel Lelchuk via our Patreon: patreon.com/talkingbeats In addition to early episode access, bonus episodes, and other benefits, you will contribute to us being able to present the highest quality substantive, long-form interviews with the world's most compelling people.

Today on KitchenChat your host Margaret McSweeney talks to Garry and Leslie Roark-Scott of Ubon's Barbeque at Chicago's "Windy City Smokeout". Garry died just a few weeks after this interview in 2018. I purposely held onto this video to let some time pass before reaching out to Leslie to ask her permission to share this special Kitchen Chat. Leslie encouraged me to share this to honor her father, and I thought that the week of Father's Day would be such a fitting time. My heart aches for her and her family as they continue to mourn the loss of Garry. Both Leslie and I were truly blessed to have fathers who encouraged their daughters to pursue their dreams. This special interview captures the love and pride Garry had for his family. He was especially pleased that Leslie and her son, Jason are continuing the family legacy of BBQ. Leslie fully credits her father for opening that door for her. "I feel like sometimes I am kinda a pioneer for women in BBQ. Since I started almost thirty years ago, I've seen the path change from a footpath to an interstate system. There are so many amazing women in BBQ right now," Leslie said. And Garry expressed how proud he was that Leslie and Jason would be cooking at the James Beard House for a special event called, "A Night in Yazoo City." Here's to Garry Roark's beautiful legacy of family and food.

The American South is seeping with eerie, dark tales that lie beneath its unique and majestic culture. In the Southern Gothic podcast, siblings Brandon and Bryanne Schexnayder combine music, exhaustive research, and traditional southern storytelling to provide the real histories behind Southern legends. Inspirations Behind Southern Gothic Brandon and Bryanne Schexnayder grew up immersed in New Orleans history. Their parents were amateur genealogists who brought Brandon and Bryanne along on their trips to cemeteries and libraries to research New Orleans history. Brandon notes that there is no better place for spooky vibes than New Orleans (especially their graveyards!). Brandon is an audio engineer by trade. He produces country music in a recording studio in Nashville, TN. His job has taught him how to use sound to tell rich and meaningful stories. Bryanne is a professional archivist at the Louisiana State Museum. She has used her cataloguing skills to help conduct deep research for the Southern Gothic podcast episodes. Southern Tales and Legends Brandon and Bryanne have a nearly endless list of Southern tales and legends from which to choose. They focus on old myths that predate the modern (post-WWII) era. They vet numerous potential stories and try to find primary sources that can help flesh out the factual history behind these tales. They ultimately produce episodes on stories with the strongest historical sources. Brandon finds that there are three primary categories of Southern tales. First, archetypal stories that originated elsewhere, but eventually moved to the American South and were adopted to the Southern landscape and culture. Second, stories of old plantation culture meant to teach lessons. Third, myths that helped cities and areas cope with/explain away bad things that previously took place (such as the “Witch of Yazoo City”). Brandon and Bryanne have even explored their own family’s history. “The Madison County Grey” episode tells the story of their ancestor who died in a camp outside of Richmond, VA at the start of the Civil War. Legend has it, the day after his death, he appeared to his two daughters outside their house. The family received a letter notifying them of his death several days later. “The Madison County Grey” episode digs into the story of their ancestor’s life and follows the path of his military unit after his death.

Sam Jones is one heck of a storyteller and that skill is no more apparent than in part two of our interview with him and Michael Letchworth. This episode details some of the challenges Sam and Michael faced during the construction phase of their restaurant and what they did to navigate the problems that come along with opening a restaurant. In this wide ranging interview we discuss everything from Sam and Michael's strong friendship to their very different musical tastes, the origins of the famous Skylight Inn capitol dome and how Skylight Inn got its name. Sam and Michael are two of the busiest men one is likely to meet and we cannot thank them enough for being so generous with their time and for inviting us to hang out and learn some invaluable lessons about barbecue, business, and life. They're great people with a great restaurant. The barbecue world lost a legend recently, and Sam Jones lost a dear friend when Garry Roark of Ubon's BBQ in Yazoo City, Mississippi passed away. In this episode Sam mentioned a podcast he did with Garry and other barbecue friends. Here is the link to that podcast.
