David Trogdon from the HOPE Project, along with Kevin and support dog, Loki, join us to discuss the use of equine therapy to bring hope and healing to wounded warriors, veterans, first responders, and their families. David highlights the many ways his organization provides support and community to people in our area, including chapel services, Battlebuddy support groups, PTSD/TBI (post traumatic stress/traumatic brain injury) education, and counseling.

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.
