CLEVELAND, OHIO: From the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District, an in-depth and fun conversation led by Donna Friedman and Mike Uva on any and all topics related to clean water, wastewater treatment, stormwater management, and the people, projects, and programs serving Lake Erie and our local waterways and communities. 

Mama Mystery isn't your average true crime podcast. Every Tuesday, your host Kelly rips into the cases that keep people up at night: the headline-grabbers everyone thinks they know, and the overlooked ones that deserve a hell of a lot more attention. Backed by real research (not just Wikipedia and vibes), Kelly breaks down evidence, picks apart theories, and calls out the details that don't add up — all in a voice that feels less "true crime lecture" and more "your friend who's read every case file." Her husband Austin crashes the mic often enough to keep things honest and occasionally hilarious.

This isn't storytelling for shock value — it's for the victims who deserve to be remembered right and the listeners who want the truth, not the theatrics. Subscribe, get obsessed, and join a community that takes true crime as seriously as it deserves. Make sure you also follow True Crime Kelly on Facebook and TikTok to stay up to date on all things True Crime.

Welcome to Mama Mystery. ✨

On a winter morning in 1982, two young fathers were found shot to death in a van parked outside an upscale Utah restaurant. The killer soon confessed, but his story about what happened - and why he chose violence - would create more pain, conflict, and questions for the families left in the wake of the murders.

As the families of the men struggle to rebuild their lives, they face questions they never anticipated. Does everyone deserve a second chance? Who is forgiveness for? And if you can inherit trauma, can you also inherit forgiveness? Through their stories, we discover even the most personal decisions can unintentionally ripple through lives, through generations, even impacting the lives of people we’ve never met.

Amerikastories – Transatlantische Geschichten. Herzlich willkommen bei unserem neuen Podcast.  

Seit mehr als 70 Jahren investieren die Vereinigten Staaten in die deutsch-amerikanischen Beziehungen durch Austausch- und Kulturprogramme wie Bibliotheken, Redner- und Rednerinnenreisen und Musikveranstaltungen.Einige dieser Maßnahmen sind sehr bekannt, die Berlinale zum Beispiel, die Amerikahäuser, das Fulbright-Programm. Andere sind weniger bekannt, auf lokaler und persönlicher Ebene dennoch von außerordentlicher Bedeutung.  

In unserem ersten Podcast “Unter Freunden” sprechen wir über Politik, Wirtschaft und die deutsch-amerikanische Zusammenarbeit. Hier sprechen wir mit Menschen über ihre Amerikastory. Wie ihre Beziehung zu den Vereinigten Staaten ihre persönliche Geschichte geprägt hat und wie diese persönliche Geschichte Teil der einzigartigen Brücke ist, die unsere beiden Länder verbindet. In jeder Episode spricht eine amerikanische Diplomatin oder ein amerikanischer Diplomat mit einem deutschen Gast auf Deutsch zu dessen Amerikastory. Wir hoffen, ihr findet diese Geschichten so imponierend undinspirierend wie wir.  

Im täglichen Austausch, den die U.S. Botschaft in Berlin mit Deutschen pflegt, wird klar, viele Deutsche haben irgendeine Beziehung zu den USA. “AmerikaStories” sprechen wir mit verschiedenen Gästen darüber, was sie mit den USA verbindet.  

AmerikaStories ist also eine Möglichkeit, diverse AmerikaStories zu hören. Es gibt AmerikaStories, die vielseits bekannt sind, z.B. die Berlinale oder die Amerikahäuser, das Fulbright-Austauschprogramm usw. Aber es gibt auch viele persönliche Stories, die auch sehr inspirierend sind und uns sehr prägen. Jetzt den Podcast AmerikaStories abonnieren und zuhören.

Introducing... Hoaxed, the new series from Alexi Mostrous and Tortoise, who brought you Sweet Bobby.

How to L.A. aims to drop a little knowledge about ALL the things that affect the people of Los Angeles, whether that���s something that makes our city great (tacos!) or something that we need to work on, like the alarming number of traffic collisions. We serve the curious Angeleno who wants to better connect with our city, discover the new, navigate the confusing and even drive some change along the way. 

Support for this podcast is made possible by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live. This program is made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people.
