From June, 1962 through January, 1964, women in the city of Boston lived in fear of the infamous Strangler. Over those 19 months, he committed 13 known murders-crimes that included vicious sexual assaults and bizarre stagings of the victims' bodies. After the largest police investigation in Massachusetts history, handyman Albert DeSalvo confessed and went to prison. Despite DeSalvo's full confession and imprisonment, authorities would never put him on trial for the actual murders. And more t ...

In our final episode of The Story of Tanasi, and our last episode of the season, we’re back at the lake to find out what this story means for people today. People who went through the battle to save the LittleT still gather, hailing from all around the country. And what about that “stupid little fish,” the snail darter (Percina Imostoma Tanasi) around which the whole story revolved? Today, the case of the snail darter is taught in law classrooms as an introduction to the Endangered Species Act, because “It set the terms.” The snail darter is now surviving in other tributaries maintained by the TVA, but that is not without consequences. And the Cherokee, who were the first people to rule this valley, are slowly finding their way back, ironically thanks to the taking of their ancient land for the Tellico project.

Hospice care is a somewhat misunderstood medical practice in this country. People often think it’s all about dying, or the opposite- keeping a dying patient alive. Neither of these perceptions are accurate. In this episode, we are focusing on what hospice care entails by sitting down with the people who provide it – hospice nurses. Rural areas have a higher need for hospice care as there are simply more people over the age of 65 living here. The benefits of having hospice care available to a community are surprisingly large, even for the nurses who work there. Hospice nurses learn to treat for quality of life rather than quantity of life and, therein, reevaluate their own healthcare directives. They spend a good part of their practice educating and communing with families. They even experience mental and spiritual growth in their own lives from performing these services. And the remarkable events that take place around the time of a death have given many of these women a deeper sense of faith.

Sadly, it’s a story with which many are becoming increasingly familiar. Why are women in rural places being incarcerated for substances at such high rates? What can communities do to intervene and help? What resources are available? We explore these troublesome questions and find some equally troubling answers. We hear from a former substance misuser who shares a solution that helped change her life, and how her struggle with substances is a required background for her becoming a care provider to women currently trying to stay sober. And we learn how her affliction has impacted other care providers in her community. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @middleofeverywherepod and on Twitter @rural_stories .

OB deserts are a plague that seems to be infecting more and more of the United States, in rural areas in particular. If you’ve never heard of an OB desert, you’re not alone. OB deserts are counties that lack any hospital or birth center with obstetric care or any obstetric providers. The US leads among developed countries in maternal and infant mortality and morbidity and these deserts are a likely contributor. Some might say this is due to a healthcare system that caters to those with money and means. So how do we protect mothers who lack the resources to access maternal care? Mothers who, because of the way they live, may be at higher risk already? In this episode, we’re featuring an innovative new program out of rural Indiana, that has taken steps toward decreasing the maternal and infant mortality and morbidity in their county, which has been declared an OB desert. And it’s all headed up by the fire department. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @middleofeverywherepod and on Twitter @rural_stories . Learn more about us at middleofeverywherepod.org.

Legislation is taking effect across the country that restricts transgender kids and their parents regarding gender-affirming healthcare How will these bills affect trans kids' long-term health? While we can’t predict the outcomes for these kids, we can look to the people who lived most of their lives without gender-affirming care to understand the repercussions. While access to trans-focused healthcare has increased in recent years, it is still very difficult for people to find, especially in rural areas. The cause of those difficulties isn’t simply geographic; stigma against gender-affirming care plagues rural areas in particular. In this episode, we’ll hear two personal stories. In one, we’ll journey through the long life of a woman who didn’t transition until age 65. The high price of her gender-affirming care could never compare with the cost of living a lifetime in hiding. Ultimately, securing gender-confirmation care became an act of survival, her choice to continue living. We’ll also hear from a fourteen year old trans boy and his family who are being impacted by recent legislation in Kentucky and Tennessee.

What do you know about the history of abortion in rural America? What about the women who relied on it? Imagine reaching into the past and conjuring the spirit of a woman who lived this history. In this episode, we’ll hear writer, Tamara Dean, discuss her essay “Safer Than Childbirth”, in which she wrote about discovering the history of, and the many lives that relied on abortion. In the process of researching for the essay, Tamara learned that legal abortion in America was more of a practice than a procedure. Local flora offered women access to abortifacients–wisdom passed down by early indigenous peoples. Less than two centuries ago, there had never been laws proposed in this country attempting to limit abortion. But, with the medicalization of childbirth, came proposals to ban abortion, state by state, eventually redefining abortion rights in America.

From her son’s disabilities, to becoming a surrogate, to choosing to sterilize herself, her experience with the U.S. healthcare system has been diverse and frustrating. Yet, her outlook on solutions to issues she has faced may surprise you.

Do you love getting lost in shows like Yellowstone or 1883 and dream about that ruff and tumble lifestyle out on the range? Well, you probably know, there’s more to the cowboy lifestyle than meets the eye! Today on the podcast, I’m sharing a fascinating story about real cowboys and the truth about ranching with the help of my friend and acclaimed journalist Melodie Edwards, who hosts the Peabody-nominated podcast The Modern West. This is the first episode of The Modern West’s newest season, where Melodie explores different kinds of cowboys—from those who chase the dream of becoming “the next rodeo star” to the hardworking (and sometimes intimidating!) ranchers on the homestead. Along the way, Melodie busts all sorts of myths about what it means to measure up to American ideals. Visit The Modern West at https://themodernwest.org/ or listen wherever you get podcasts.…
