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.

We’ve all clicked on the comment section to a blog, video or news article and immediately regretted it. That, or we’ve read each trolling comment like rubberneckers spying an accident on the freeway.

049: Social Fitness with Carol Cantwell 44:53

12 years44:53

44:53

Carol Cantwell is the founder of Fun With Financials, a company that teaches non-profit organizations practices that support informed financial decisions. She's also a recent convert to exercise, specifically running. Carol popped by the studio (via Skype) this week to discuss some of the Social Fitness apps that helped her go from a person who could barely run 1 mile to someone who will be running the Boston Marathon in a few months. Originally, we had planned on recording this podcast and putting it up around the first of the year. We figured that listeners might have set some New Year's resolutions to get healthy or exercise more and, in turn, could be extra-inspired to maintain those goals by listening to this podcast. Well, things happen, podcast recordings get rescheduled and now the podcast is going up several weeks after everyone has forgotten that they had even made any New Year's resolutions. Let's take this half-empty glass and fill it up a little bit, shall we? It's time to get re-inspired to get healthy this year. Is a New Month's resolution a thing? It is now. Do you have suggestions for some other social fitness apps or sites that we missed in the podcast? Leave a comment, letting us know which ones have helped you the most.…

048: Online Event Invitations 24:56

12 years24:56

Facebook has destroyed online events. What began as a brilliant idea has morphed into the most ignorable feature on the Internet. If you're in a band, then chances are, hundreds of people have ignored the sweet event invite for your show next Tuesday at 11:00pm at that place they've never heard of. If you're active on Facebook at all, you probably have a number of invites in your events section. How many times have you logged into Facebook and been greeted with that brilliant red square notifying you that someone, ANYone has contacted you only to find a message letting you know that the event you're not planning on going to is happening an hour later than originally stated? By clicking 'no', you might hurt the feelings of poor Jimmy in the mailroom. I'm sure his band really IS good and they probably DO sound like Spacemen 3 meets Slade. You could always do the Minnesota No and click 'Maybe', but haven't we all made that resolution to be less passive aggressive this year? A simpler option to clean out your events section and make it useful again is to just remove it. 1. In Facebook, click 'Events' on the left side of the screen.2. Hover your mouse over an event you want to remove. A bluish-gray X will pop up on the upper right side of the event.3. Click that X.4. Ta da! The event is removed and you don't have to feel like the introverted hermit that declines every event invitation.…

It's been a while since we've had a guest on our podcast. This week, we talked with Jeremy Wilker about Kickstarter projects. It seems like everyone is setting up Kickstarter accounts to help fund their creative projects with the mindset that everything will go to plan and they'll get their money. According to their website, only 44% of Kickstarters actually reach the desired goal and get funded. Jeremy recently wrapped up his second successful Kickstarter for a feature film titled 'Death To Prom'. He's here to share his experiences and give his expertise on how to make sure your Kickstarter is a success.…

After one final Summer trip to the lovely Geek Girls private island, this week's podcast focuses on ways to customize your online world for privacy or for fun. Examples: Pregnant but haven't told the fam yet? -Turn your Facebook wall off so your dad doesn't find out about his first grandchild via the son-in-law that he doesn't really like posting a picture of Harley Davidson baby clothes. On a friend's computer and stumble upon a long article about some body abnormality that you'd rather not discuss? -Set up a Google+ circle with no friends, co-workers or relatives so you can share things with yourself for later. (Depending on what you search for, you might want to delete the browser's history after you've successfully posted it to your page.) There are plenty of small ways to think outside the box when it comes to social media sites. Any other quick and easy suggestions for customizing your social media spaces?…

Have you heard?! Facebook is taking all of your contact numbers from your phone, posting them all over the internet and selling them to terrorist organizations around the world! Okay, so that's not entirely true, but with all of the posts on Facebook the past few weeks, you'd think Gaddafi was about to call everyone in your phone to see if he could crash with them for a few days until things settle down at home while Mark Zuckerberg laughs maniacally in his giant bed that's stuffed with $100 bills. We'll give you the rundown on the newest thing to panic Facebook users. We also discuss a few ways to back up your facebook profile and a site that lets you look back through the years of your online posts.…

It's the music episode and the request line is open, so give us a call and dedicate a song to that special someone in your life. Now that everyone (including commoners like Nancy) has been given access to Google Plus and has been playing around with it for a while, we look at it again with a different perspective than last time to see what benefits it could have for us. We also have an announcement that we, uh, already announced a day or two ago, so it probably won't come as much of a surprise, but we're excited anyway so we're going to announce it again. But you have to listen to find out, because we're not going to type it here. Pretty sneaky, huh? PS - To keep the announcement a surprise, you probably shouldn't look at the links below until after you listen to the podcast. Deal?…

We've been traveling from coast to coast, attending conferences and spotting celebs (well, 1 celeb and a few Law & Order extras).

Come along as we go from point A to point B while taking brief pitstops at high school proms and family get-togethers. We might even sneak a quick nap in during a story about children.…

This week's Geek of the Week, supergenius Jodi Chromey, stops by the studio for a choreographed 'Pinky Tuscadero hand jive' with Nancy and to chat about her career as a writer. Jodi initially claimed to be more "nerd" than "geek", but after talking about her former life as a tech writer and then admitting to her love of Fonzie, her past blogs about Dawson's Creek and cataloging her Sweet Valley High books as a child, it became obvious that we had chosen a true geek. Jodi began writing her blog, I Will Dare, in 2000. Aside from her own blog, Jodi is the editor for Minnesota Reads and is the mastermind behind paulwesterberg.net . In this podcast, Jodi offers up advice on becoming a writer while giving us a brief glimpse into what inspires her (peanut butter and gin!), which begs the question, how did it take us this long to invite Jodi to be our Geek of the Week?…
