Beyond 911: Teaching Your Kids How to Handle an Emergency.

Pull up a chair—this is a conversation worth having. Situational awareness isn't about living in fear or being a "doomsdayer"; it’s about having a relaxed alertness so you can enjoy your life without being blindsided.
When we talk about family safety on the "front porch," we’re looking at how to turn awareness into a second-nature habit for everyone, from the toddlers to the grandparents.

Point Pleasant & the Sliver Bridge

In November 1966, something followed four teenagers into an abandoned TNT plant in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. It wasn't a bird, and it wasn't a plane. For thirteen months, a town was paralyzed by a creature with a ten-foot wingspan and glowing red eyes—culminating in a bridge collapse that changed the American paranormal landscape forever. Join us as we peel back the layers of the Mothman legend, from the Men in Black to the prophecies of Indrid Cold. Was it a harbinger of doom, or a myth born of shadow? The truth is rarely black and white.

The Pantry Apothecary

Everyone has that one relative with a 'secret' cure—the tea that breaks any fever or the poultice that heals every scrape. But where do these kitchen-counter remedies actually come from? Today, we’re digging through the spice rack of history to find the science (and the superstitions) behind Grandma’s medicine cabinet.

The 51st Star

In this week's episode, Steve and Jim turn their eyes north to break down the rising diplomatic temperatures between the United States and Greenland. What started as a few awkward headlines about "buying an island" has evolved into a complex game of Arctic chess involving rare earth minerals, strategic air bases, and a fierce fight for sovereignty. 

Shadows of the estate: The 1% truth

"They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in the case of Jeffrey Epstein, 95,000 photos might only tell 1% of the story. In December 2025, the DOJ finally opened the vault, and what spilled out wasn't just a list of names—it was a digital crime scene. From high-society hot tubs to chilling 'Lolita' quotes written in ink on skin, we’re looking past the redactions. Today, we dive into the 'Epstein Photo Dump': who’s in the frames, what’s behind the black boxes, and why the government is still hiding the other 99%. You’re listening to [Podcast Name]."

Ep. Christmas Past

Pull up a chair by the virtual fireplace! This week, Steve and Jim are taking a trip down memory lane to revisit the Christmases of yesteryear. From the family traditions we’ll never forget (and maybe a few we’d like to), we are unpacking the nostalgia of the holiday season.
Join us for a cozy conversation about what made the holidays magical back then, and how we keep that spirit alive today. Plus, we’re wrapping up the year by sending out our biggest, warmest Merry Christmas to all of our listeners. Thank you for being part of our journey this year!

Ballistics & Banter

Pull up a chair on the porch and join Steve and Jim for this episode Ballistics & Banter—the show where two longtime buddies talk about firearms, gear, and whatever else pops into their heads.
This isn’t a high-speed tactical training seminar, and it definitely isn’t a dry history lecture. It’s just two guys who love shooting, "talking shop" with zero filter. Whether they are debating the merits of the newest polymer pistol or reminiscing about the wood-and-steel rifles of the past, the conversation flows as freely as the opinions.
 

Unfathomable: Truth, Lies, and Mel’s Hole

It started with a phone call in the middle of the night. On February 21, 1997, a man named Mel Waters called Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM to report something impossible on his property in rural Ellensburg, Washington: a hole with no bottom.
He claimed he had lowered 80,000 feet of fishing line into the earth without hitting a floor. He claimed it didn't echo. He claimed it brought a dead dog back to life. Then, he claimed the government took it all away?!?
