67 - Big Dipper (Bonus Episode)

February 1, 2023 • 62 mins

Will Westercauw is pleased to present this very special episode all about one of his favorite bands - Big Dipper! Will is joined by Big Dipper guitarist/vocalist Gary Waleik to talk about the band's entire history. This episode covers the band's humble beginnings, their rise to indie-rock semi-stardom, their tragic fall, and their eventual (and underappreciated) return. Will and Gary listen to too many Big Dipper songs to list all of them here, but you can listen to them in their entirety by checking out the Big Dipper playlist. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3E51CGarZP91ki3bFk03Iy?si=b1276cc48ca744aa Curious listeners should also check out Gary Waleik's current podcast endeavors - Lamplighters (stories of Chabad emissaries): https://www.lubavitch.com/podcast/ Saturday to Shabbos (stories of returnees to the Jewish faith): https://tachlismedia.com/series/saturdaytoshabbos/

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.
