Jaron Scott and Matthew McBirth use grace, humor, experience and wisdom to help us better understand what the BLM movement is, and what it isn’t. They walk through a series of common debate questions, covering topics like police brutality, the ethics of rioting, media bias, what systemic racism actually means, and the important difference between racism and indifference. 

This conversation aims to skip the ‘political’ element of the debate and get to the true heart of it-  helping us better love and understand our black and brown friends and neighbors in Joplin and everywhere.

Learn more about Murphysburg and get ready for the next episode of the Haunted Toad by checking out www.murphysburg.org and take a walking tour through the neighborhood to see some of the historic homes in the area you might hear about next.

We learn the tale of how Thaddeus ended up in the Joplin area the year before it became a city, resourcefully developed a concessions empire, and thwarted the efforts of a rival suitor- the devious croquet tutor Regibald Smith. 

History was thoroughly researched for the accuracy of this historical re-enactment.... but liberties might have been taken for the greater goal of comedy.

This experience is best heard with earphones or stereo speakers as spooky sounds emphasize the story and you won't want to miss them by listening over a small speaker.

Follow along with the transcript and peer over old photos included to get the most out of what the Haunted Toad has to offer. 

Episode produced by Aubrey Prunty
