Meet Chris Allieri, the founder of the NYC Plover Project. This citizen led effort is all about protecting the Piping Plover, a tiny endangered bird that nests on New York city's beaches. What started as Chris's personal mission has grown into a movement, inspiring hundreds of volunteers and creating real change for both wildlife and communities. Chris's story shows us that you don't need a perfect plan or a formal background to make a difference by stepping up and taking action.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
