Huntsvillain History Season 2 - Episode #2 Walter Cagle

If Walter Cagle were alive today he might have had something to say about this week's "Snowpocalypse". The headline "500 Pound Weather Prophet of Boaz Dies" was the first clue that pulled John into the fascinating story of Walter Cagle. After suffering a mysterious illness that left him in a temporary coma Walter began observing local wildlife and predicting the weather, priceless information for farmers of the Tennessee Valley. Walter's fame grew readily with the help of newspaper stories. He eventually shared front page with the Spanish Civil War and the succession crisis of the English Empire.

Check out John's blog on the topic for more information on Walter on the blog https://huntsvillain.wordpress.com/2015/12/23/walter-is-coming/

Huntsvillain History Season 2 - Episode #1 Petition of 1828

On August 13th, 1828 11 enslaved people sued two white men for their freedom in the court of Huntsville Alabama. This was one of only two court cases John O'Brien has ever found that included enslaved people as litigants and not as property.

Today's case covered a vast expanse of 1800's civil rights including a women's right to property and "Manumission" -where a slave owner willingly frees their slaves usually upon their death. We also discuss the documentation required of free black people during the era.

Spicecast #179 - By All Means

By All Means performed a rare feat for us at the Spice Rack stripping down their big arena sound to a powerful acoustic performance. Hearing these guys in a different light than their normal electric stage show was one of our most interesting recordings of the year!

By All Means did not disappoint on the interview front either we covered eating at "Golden Coral" seafood restaurant and Justhrine's simultaneous trucking and vocal writing system. We also hear three tracks "You and I", "Tightrope", and "Seasons".
