What comes to mind when you hear the words voodoo or hoodoo? Is it witchcraft? Dark forces? Voodoo Dolls and/or possession? It wouldn't surprise me if those are the first thoughts that come to mind. It is actually two separate and distinct spiritual practices. Voodoo is an actual practiced religion and Hoodoo, also known as root work, is a spiritual practice which deals more with the botanical side and other natural objects. Usually, Hoodoo is used for protection, luck and love spells. Both, however, are African-American spiritual practices. Why then, is it viewed by many as evil and harmful? Is Voodoo and/or Hoodoo a closed practice? If this topic interests you, join us and listen!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

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.
