THE LEGACY OF DEE DEE
Every Black family knows there is that one matriarch that holds it all down. To the government, her name is Cordelia Hill, but to our family, she is known as Queen Mother and more affectionally to her granddaughter, Mimi Jacks, as Dee Dee. Queen Mother is 92 years old and has had eight children, lived through one of the most devastating tornadoes in history, received a college degree at 61 and is two ancestors away from relatives that were slaves. In this podcast, we hear Queen Mother share her experiences in her own voice. We also hear her children share what it was like to grow up with her as their mother. If you ever had a connection to that one special person in your life and wondered about their story, this podcast is for you. Get ready to adopt Mrs. Hill as YOUR Queen Mother! This is The Legend of Dee Dee.
MALLWALK
On November 11th 2004, 14-year-old Conrad Cliff jackhammered into the water main at The Royal Galleria near Belmont, California. Twenty-three people drowned. Three people were electrocuted in the arcade. Two people were fatally bitten by a hammerhead shark that escaped from the mall's aquarium. And the teenager responsible was never found. No body. No trace. Blair Van Auken was with Conrad at the mall that day but refused to speak about the incident for 18 years. Until now. This is a 6 part series on madness, machines, and melancholy in the MallScape of America. This is MallWalk.
MACV SOG INTERVIEWS WITH WARRIORS. COMBAT VETERANS TALK...
Over the years I have become friends with many Vietnam Special Forces MACV SOG men. It has been an honor. First they trusted me to share stories of their war in my publication Pucker Factor stories of MACV SOG. Most of these had never publicly been spoken about. Now I begin a new challenge to get them to speak publicly about their covert lives of being behind enemy lines or engaging the well trained enemy on their own territory. These warriors will not be with us forever. It is important we learn the histories of such men now.

1001 STORIES FROM THE OLD WEST
Welcome to the new 1001 Stories From the Old West.. Here we offer hand-picked accounts from diaries, historical documents, autobiographies, books of the time period, and historians to bring you the American frontier story directly from the people who lived it. You'll hear actual accounts of Indian battles, pioneer struggles, outlaws, cowboys and Indians, lawmen, and the men and women who took the chance and moved west, many by wagon train, to a largely uncharted and wild territory. Go west, young man, are the words often attributed to Horace Greeley, American author and newspaper editor, but there was more to that quote. He wrote “Washington is not a place to live in- the rents are high, the food is bad, and the morals are deplorable. Go west, young man, go west, and grow up with the country. We invite you to go west with us to another world, another time, another place- and see if you have what it takes to survive and thrive in a world that was much simpler than today's- yet demanded much more of you. Time to mount up-1001 Stories From the Old West is waiting for you. We publish new episodes every other Sunday night at 6pm Eastern Standard Time and you're invited to join us where ever you go for podcasts
