S7 E8 - Crosslake Mayor Jackson Purfeerst

What this episode covers

Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone! On today's show the crew catches up with Crosslake Mayor Jackson Purfeerst to talk prep for the St. Paddy's Day Parade, some of his best memories, and where he feels the best spot to watch is. Also... Jackson has been making moves on the politcal landscape as well, and making appearances on Fox News, Fox and Friends and more. And now, he was just invited to speak at CPAC and sit on a panel that includes YouTube influencer Nick Shirley. If you remember Nick was the influencer who went into many of the daycares in Minneapolis that were tied to the State Fraud cases. One last thing on Jackson, he will be running for the Crow Wing Power Board. The guy is all over the place and it's been fun following his journey! Then in Local Happenings the guys chat about local sports, a Chris Tungseth American Idol update, Hockey Day MN update, Lakes Area Heroes update and just more updates all around! Thanks, as always, to our 2026 sponsors Pequot Lakes and Gull Lake Sanitation, Hanneken Insurance, Craguns Legacy Courses, Party Time Rental, Bens Marine and Motorsports and our PRESENTING SPONSOR Lakes Area CPAs!

Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook. Loro and Ruth form a cautious partnership to find the killer—but as the mystery winds through Ruth’s life, her family, and her church, she’ll discover something more sinister than murder is afoot.Binge all episodes of Chinook exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap. Explicit Cast-A-Role: A Movie Podcast Cast-a-role A movie podcast that has absolutely nothing to do with cooking.
