  • Introducing Flashpoint
    2024/07/27

    Hi, STDWYK fans! iHeartPodcasts and TenderfootTV are excited to tell you about the Flashpoint podcast. Host Cole Locascio investigates to complex topics surrounding the 1996 Olympic bombings in Atlanta, Ga. We think you'll want to hear this, but you don't have to take our word for it. Check out the trailer and decide if this is your next listen!

    Show Description: On July 27th, 1996, a domestic terrorist bombed the Summer Olympic Games held in Atlanta, GA. While the FBI and the media fixated on the wrong man, the bomber planned his next, more overtly political attacks on 2 abortion clinics and a gay nightclub. The bomber would later be identified as a dedicated soldier in the white-supremacist Christian Identity Movement. Through the lens of these 4 bombings, and the victims left to pick up the pieces, Flashpoint explores America's greatest threat, the political and religious radicalization of homegrown terrorists.

    Listen to Flashpoint on the free iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts!

    2024/07/24

    If you live in the US, you've heard the tone before: a staccato series of beeps followed by an oddly neutral voice disclosing any number of warnings or disasters. This is known as the Emergency Alert System. In the event of an emergency, this system can save lives by immediately getting information out to the public ... but what happens if someone hacks it? How easy is it do so?
