*THE CONTENT IN THIS EPISODE BEGINS AT - 3:51 In this episode I am going to tell you the interesting story of a D.B. Cooper copycat that I had actually never heard of.

*THE CONTENT OF THIS EPISODE BEGINS AT 3:13     In this episode I am going to tell you about one of my favorite colleges in North Carolina, Western Carolina University. Now, my affection for this school isn’t based on my experience here. I did not attend here. Though I am sure this institution is a great, academically speaking, my love for this school is based solely on the fact that it is located in my favorite region of NC.                                                                        There are plenty of beautiful college towns with beautiful campuses, but to me, none compare to Cullowee and Western, NC. So sit back and I will tell you all about a small house that became a university. And don’t forget, if you enjoy the show, rate, review, and subscribe.

*CONTENT BEGINS Charlie Daniels-2:38 Little Eva-10:33 Gerald Alston-16:42 In this episode I am covering three of the many musicians who came from North Carolina. I start with Charlie Daniels who had a very extensive career, then I move on to Eva Boyd, better known as Little Eva. Sadly, she is considered a “ one hit wonder” but what a wonder it was to hear her. I finish this episode up with Gerald Alston, who had a seventeen year career as the lead singer of the group, The Manhattans.  I hope this episode sheds some light and opens a door the the music that started in our great state.

    *CONTENT STARTS AT 06:19 This episode is the first of it's kind on The NC Everything Podcast. First, I have an addition to make to my last episode on Bath and New Bern. I know you guys are ready to get away from the coast for a bit but bear with me. If you want to skip that, see the note at the top of this summary.     Next I will move into the episode's content. Now this started with a suggestion from Rip from Smithfield about an explosion. But then I decided to look at what other accidents have occurred around the state. There were far more than I could fit into a single episode, so if you know of one that I did not mention, it was not because I didn't find it important. I go over my criteria for my choices in the show.     The last thing I want to say is that I am not trying to make light or "cash in" on any tragedy. As I put this episode together, I learned about some upsetting events that I had never heard of, and I feel like these events and these people should not be lost to history and forgotten about.     Don't forget to subscribe wherever you listen to podcast and rate the show if you are able as any rating I get makes the show easier to find for those who are unaware.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I decided that since this will be the first episode of the new year, I would cover the first towns North Carolina.  Bath was the very first incorporated town in NC followed just a few years later by New Bern.  Now because these are the first towns in what would become our great state, naturally, there will be some state firsts that occur here so keep an ear out for them.
