In this episode of The NC Everything Podcast, I introduce you to Richard Gatling. Does he sound familiar? He is the inventor and the namesake for the infamous Gatling Gun, one of the deadliest guns ever known to man. You will hear how Gatling went from a planter's son in Hertford County to inventing a gun that forced battlefield tactics to turn a corner.

Then I am going to tell you all about the CSS Neuse, an Ironclad warship that was supposed to be the savior of the Carolina's, if only it could see some action.

In this episode I am going to tell you the interesting story of a D.B. Cooper copycat that I had actually never heard of. I am a huge follower of the D.B. Cooper case, so it shocked me to find out about this guy, and the fact that many people suspect him to actually be THE D.B. Cooper. You can decide for yourself by the end of the episode.

In this episode I am going to tell you about one of my favorite colleges in North Carolina, Western Carolina University. Now, my affection for this school isn’t based on my experience here. I did not attend here. Though I am sure this institution is a great, academically speaking, my love for this school is based solely on the fact that it is located in my favorite region of NC.

There are plenty of beautiful college towns with beautiful campuses, but to me, none compare to Cullowee and Western, NC. So sit back and I will tell you all about a small house that became a university. And don’t forget, if you enjoy the show, rate, review, and subscribe.

Charlie Daniels-2:38
Little Eva-10:33
Gerald Alston-16:42

In this episode I am covering three of the many musicians who came from North Carolina. I start with Charlie Daniels who had a very extensive career, then I move on to Eva Boyd, better known as Little Eva. Sadly, she is considered a “ one hit wonder” but what a wonder it was to hear her. I finish this episode up with Gerald Alston, who had a seventeen year career as the lead singer of the group, The Manhattans.

I hope this episode sheds some light and opens a door the the music that started in our great state.

In this episode I am going to talk western towns, cowboys, and horses. Don't worry, we are still in North Carolina.

I will start out by telling you about a western style town near Statesville, where no car are allowed. It's horse or walking.

Then I am going to give you the run down on a movie cowboy and Charlotte native named Randolph Scott.

And lastly, I am going to tell you about an incredible horse who one could say, made the Kentucky Derby what it is today.

SOME DISASTERS Jan 08, 2022

Show notes

*CONTENT STARTS AT 06:19

This episode is the first of it's kind on The NC Everything Podcast. First, I have an addition to make to my last episode on Bath and New Bern. I know you guys are ready to get away from the coast for a bit but bear with me. If you want to skip that, see the note at the top of this summary.

Next I will move into the episode's content. Now this started with a suggestion from Rip from Smithfield about an explosion. But then I decided to look at what other accidents have occurred around the state. There were far more than I could fit into a single episode, so if you know of one that I did not mention, it was not because I didn't find it important. I go over my criteria for my choices in the show.

The last thing I want to say is that I am not trying to make light or "cash in" on any tragedy. As I put this episode together, I learned about some upsetting events that I had never heard of, and I feel like these events and these people should not be lost to history and forgotten about.

Don't forget to subscribe wherever you listen to podcast and rate the show if you are able as any rating I get makes the show easier to find for those who are unaware. And if you have an idea for an episode or want to comment, you can contact the show by going to www.thenceverythingpodcast.com/contact
