This week, we are going to talk about a habitually abused man. This is a weird thing that seems to go relatively unnoticed. The statistics may be low for abused men in relation to women but there are a multitude of reasons for this. Abuse in men seems to be going on unreported due to shame, not being believed, or the abuser flips the story to make the man out to be the abuser. Listen in as Ashlee gives us the sad details of David's abusive relationship and the telling events leading up to his murder.

If you or anyone you know is experiencing abuse you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-766-7233 or text start to 88788.

Have you ever questioned reality as we know it? Is this existence, short in the face of time, all there is for us? Perhaps there is another force out there in the vast expanse of the unknown living as oblivious to us as we are to them?

If you do find yourself thinking these seemingly strange thoughts - listening, watching, or even reading one of the many works of George Noory will bust that door right down. Join Ashlee as she talks about how George Noory became one of the top voices for the unknown.
