In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

시리즈 홈•Feed

Inside Agri-Turf speaks to those at the sharp-end of the farm and grass machinery industry which ranges from powerful 500hp farm tractors to lawnmowers for the home, via equipment used in the upkeep of golf courses, cricket and football grounds, parks and open spaces, forests and the care of the countryside. As new technology and robotics come increasingly on-stream, we will talk to manufacturers, dealers, industry representatives and end-users in order to report on this fast-moving, innovative and essential sector that often flies under the radar of public recognition.

What is the media today? It used to be newspapers or magazines - or broadcast media, television and radio. Today, anyone can be a ‘journalist’ spreading news, views, comment and opinion through social media – that is largely unrestricted and unregulated. To help me answer that question, I’m delighted to be joined by Andrew Harvey for 30 years a main presenter for BBC Television News, and latterly for ITN. After leaving the television arena, Andrew set up and now runs Harvey Leach, a media training company. During this episode we cover the value of establishing good press contacts, and also advice on how to react when a crisis situation attracts the interest of the media. Andrew also provides a fascinating insight into his days presenting television prime time news bulletins. LINK Harvey Leach Media Training…

Dan Schultz describes himself as an agribusiness psychotherapist - an eye catching description if there ever was one Without the need for a ‘patients’ couch, Dan helps agri-tech companies around the world think differently about how they market and commercialise their products for this new software driven age. He says that the evolution of agriculture will be more about the evolution of business models than new pieces of equipment or technology. Despite that, Dan is not an exponent of ‘in with the new, out with the old’. “Although we will be working in this super, highly technical software age, the one thing that is never going to change is that you are selling to a farmer, you are selling to a business, you are selling to a person’ Dan Schultz website Dan Schultz on LinkedIn…
