This week we had the pleasure of speaking with proud Appalachian and author Andrew K. Clark. We discuss folk legends, traditional versus self-publishing, and how Appalachia is probably one of the greatest places on earth.    Pre-order Where Dark Things grow at www.andrewkclark.com. 

This week is part one of a two part series about Ohio's Great Lake, Lake Erie

We have moved and discovered that we now live in area with a small Amish Community.  We decided that we should research and educate ourselves.  

We thought with all the legal cases flying around we would try to break it down and simplify the U.S. Justice System and process.  Were we ever wrong! What we planned to be a single episode is going to turn into a two parter (we hope). So listen up, and try to follow our ramblings as we soon discover we are in way over our heads.

WARNING: This week we will talk about medical, child and pet abuse as well as suicidal ideations. Believe it or not, we were talking about this topic long before Gypsy Rose.  We thought now would be a good time to talk about it.

This week we look into Artificial Intelligence, or AI.  We gave it our best shot but as we soon learned, we are nowhere near smart enough to figure out AI.  But, we are smart enough to know that few people can.  Especially folks trying to regulate and write laws governing AI.  We don't feel so bad anymore.

We are back!!! What a year it has been! Better listen to this episode to catch up on what has happened. 

This may become a tradition for An Hour of Your Life.  This episode is dedicated to the cities from where the teams playing in the Super Bowl are from. This year we are featuring Kansas City and Philadelphia.

In this episode we get into the power grid in the United States and North America.  Complicated, bureaucratic, vulnerable and vital. Plus, as a bonus, we talk about the Zimmer Power Plant near Cincinnati, Ohio. 

This is another one of those topics that you don't know what you don't know.  Who would have thought there is a history to the practice of Tailgating. Go Bengals!!!

We decided this week to talk about some of the more infamous heists in recent and semi-recent history.

Nora is a six year old little girl who has intractable epilepsy.  On this episode, Steve and Kim talk to her mom about the challenges that the disorder presents to a family, some resources, and a wealth of information about epilepsy awareness.  Here is a list of resources:https://www.dannydid.org/about-us/https://hannahtopia.com/https://www.brainrecoveryproject.org/https://charliefoundation.org/https://www.epilepsy.com/https://realmofcaring.org/ Do No Harm (Film)The Great Katie Kate Explains Epilepsy (Book)  

Do you need to get out of town?  Do you have any relevant testimony? Listen to this week's episode about the Witness Protection Program. Disclaimer:  Sorry if we doxxed anybody.  We sincerely apologize!

We are back after our sabbatical.   Our return episode is Victorian Slang.  We came up with this idea while driving back from Florida and Steve made up a word to describe something. Kim went the next step and started looking up other slang terms and the episode was born.

With this week's episode about the flight of Navy Avengers called Flight 19 and the mysterious Bermuda Triangle.  You get to choose if you are on Team Steve or Team Kim.  Rational and plausible or supernatural forces at work. Whichever, Steve dug up some fascinating details and did his best to piece together multiple accounts of Flight 19 to give you one complete account.  Kim was able to explore the supernatural and "other" theories to what causes so many dissaperances within the Bermuda Triangle. Both go into their own conclusions and analysis.

Who would have thought it would have taken two episodes to get though the strange laws in the United States! In this episode we finish up by starting in Kentucky wind up in Wyoming.

Every state has some peculiarities.  Some of these peculiar things are so peculiar the state saw fit to make a law about it.

This week is the anniversary of the San Francisco Earthquake 1906.  On April 18th of 1906 an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9 hit San Fransisco.  The damage from the quake and the resulting fires nearly destroyed the city killing an estimated 3000 people.  In this episode we try to tale the stories of the survivors and capture the human side of the disaster.  

This week we continue our tale of George Armstrong Custer.  Listen and decide for yourself, hero or villain while you try and sort out what is fact and what is fiction.

This week we take on such a colorful character that it is going to take two episodes to fit it all in.  We are talking about George Armstrong Custer.  Hero or villain?  Listen and decide for yourself.
