Send a text  When police arrive to the scene to find a body underneath a burning mattress, there are more questions than answers, and months go by without so much as a clue about who committed the horrific murder. Until one woman starts to experience strange visions, pinpointing the offender in a trance-like state. This is exactly what happened in one of the world's most infamous paranormal h...

Send a text   A good mother makes every possible effort to make sure her child is provided for. Necessities of course are important, but every once in a while, it is music to the soul watching your child or children laugh and enjoy a family day together. Cindy George had the same perspective, and was known by all who knew her as a Do-Anything-For-My-Kids mother. So when the opportunity presented i...

Send a text   Welcome to Spooky Month!

Send a text   "The most horrifying and violent true crime case in the history of Japan."   That is often what people say when asked to recall the vivid, disturbing details of the Junko Furuta case. It is not one for the weak-hearted; the story of one girl's 42 days of torture at the hands of dozens of monsters parading as men is not your every day news article. But for the Furuta fa...

Send a text   Missing...   The very word conjures a feeling of loss, despair, emptiness... especially when that word is used to describe the presence of someone you love. When a loved one goes missing, the lives of the friends and families of the victims are turned upside down as the race to bring their loved one home begins. We never expect however, that they might go missing right in the comfort...

Send a text   Ahh, camping. There's nothing quite like it. Crisp, fresh air mingling with the sounds of a crackling fire and a good night's sleep on Mother Earth's bedding. We all have fond memories of family outings, or trips with friends, but how many of us are expecting something terrible to happen while we lay there at night, vulnerable to the natural world around us?  For two y...

Send a text   We've all heard the romantic, soothing tones of Marvin Gaye. Being that he's a household name, the utterance of his very name brings forth memories of soulful and talented vocals, soft and serenading tones, and so much of what we love about R&B music was born from him. And yet, few of us know the story of his life - and his death. Join our hysterical and comedic guests,...

Send a text   We all have social circles, however large or small. Sometimes we feel compelled to get together with a few of your close pals for a fun night, where you can drink away your problems and drift into another life - at least for the moment. But none of us anticipates a fun night with friends leading to our last moments alive.    For Francis Daniel Brohm AKA Frankie, this is exactly what...

Send a text   All of us have that special little habit, that fond activity we do or place we go when things get overwhelming. For some, it's a beach. For others, they get lost in the world of music. For Taylor Luciow (AKA Taylor Mitchell), the only thing that could calm her when things got to be too much, was music and nature. So when she was given a 2 day break between playing her beloved fo...

Send a text   We all tend to be quite forgiving when it comes to our friends and loved ones; ordinarily, we would stand up for ourselves and recognize when someone is "bad news", but what happens when love overrides that natural urge to flee from danger?   Join Stacy and Lavender, hosts of Early On Wednesday Podcast, as they accompany WNP Host Amanda through the twists and turns of the m...

Send a text   There's something about rugged, untouched wilderness that causes most of us to catch our breath: the beauty of sparkling blankets of thick snow, the soft warmth of a rising sun against cold skin; there is much to love about our natural world and its' inhabitants. For Horatio Chapple and 80 other students documenting evidence of climate change in one of the world's most...

Send a text   Mother's Day is all about appreciating good moms.

Send a text    What would you do to someone who stole from you? Would your response change if an innocent young child committed the thievery? Would you forgive them, or maybe smile at them? Or would you unleash an unimaginable assault onto their tiny body, battering them to the point of unconsciousness and death?  For one little 3 year old boy growing up in Atlanta, this was sadly his reality. Aft...

Send a text   Most of us have risked a little bodily injury at the expense of a thrilling reward, whether it be flying to a tropical destination or embarking in an adrenaline-fueling hobby, and the what-if's are always in the back of our mind. Seldom do these what-if's become our reality, but for one devout adventurist, that's exactly what happened.    Join Won Nothing host Amanda a...

Send a text   For JC, life was just one big adventure waiting to be taken by the reigns.

So it was no surprise when JC launched a company devoted to training athletes and supplying adventure inspiration.    This inspir...

Send a text   What if you left everything you've ever known behind for a chance at a life that was truly yours? What would you do with your days?  Most of us would head to a tropical location and enjoy some much needed time in the sun and for Vladimir, he chose no different. But his plan for a worry-free beach day in one of the top tourist beaches in Egypt quickly turned sour when he was trag...

Send a text   We have all at one time or another settled in for a scary slasher movie. Sometimes we bundle underneath the covers, or hide our faces behind a pillow; some people can't even take their eyes off of the screen due to the sheer sense of dread they can cause. But how would you feel if while watching said movie, right underneath your feet, someone was planning and plotting to end you...

Send a text   The expression "your life can change in an instant" rings a bell with all of us, but besides the random cliche moments during which someone is saying it to us, we don't typically bear it any mind. But for one senior couple living out their golden years in a beautiful, 100-year-old farmhouse in Illinois, this would quickly become their only reality.  Join Amanda and Day...
