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.

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.

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.

Let's take a trip. Small town, USA. This is where the pulse of the paranormal resides. There are thousands of stories and experiences out there. Some have been told, and retold hundreds of times, and some are kept hidden, known only by the people that live there; this is where we come in. We're exploring the untold, and breaking down the overly familiar. Journeying through the one stoplight towns and discovering local urban legends, myths, lore, and paranormal episodes. Researching the backgrounds and developing the voices unheard. Our goal is not to capture evidence, but rather to capture the moment and bring our listeners along for the ride.
