The Perron Family Haunting: When "Fixer Upper" Meets "Get Out"

Today on KCCC930AM Radio, and available weekly in your inbox. Before The Conjuring made audiences afraid of antique furniture, the Perron family actually lived that horror movie. Their “dream farmhouse” in Harrisville, Rhode Island, came with creaky floors, creepy ghosts, and (allegedly) a witch named Bathsheba who did not come with the deed. This week, Sarah and Faren continue digging into what really went down at the Perron home — from ghostly pranks and paranormal investigators to the kind of supernatural chaos that'll make you rethink your Zillow alerts. Was the house truly haunted...or just in desperate need of a sage smudge and an exorcism-level deep clean?

Quenelles, Lamb, and Learning It's Okay to Fail

Carlsbad High's state-champion teams sat down with Hattie again — this time with management competitor Camille Martin, and culinary team members Avery Padilla and Micah Char, alongside instructor Amanda Hale. The team breaks down exactly what goes into a ProStart competition — the rules, the roles, and what it’s actually like to pitch a fictional restaurant to judges who can’t say a word back to you until it’s over. The full menu behind the state-winning dish gets unpacked, from a delicate crepe roulotte to a blue corn hush puppy appetizer that almost didn’t survive practice rounds. Camille opens up about what it felt like watching the culinary team succeed while management’s placement didn’t land where she wanted it to, and the lesson she took from that disappointment. A conversation about chocolate tempering gone wrong, the techniques nobody warns you about, and what it means to give your best effort even when the outcome doesn’t match the work. Part 3 of this series airs next Tuesday, June 23rd.

State Champions: Inside Carlsbad High's Culinary Program

Carlsbad High School didn’t just win a state title this year. They won two — culinary and management, the first time CHS has swept both ProStart categories in the same year. Hattie went straight to the source: the Mountain Lion Studio hit the road to the CHS Culinary Arts Department the day after school let out, sitting down with instructor Amanda Hale and two of the students who helped get them there, Joslyn Frintz and David Balderrama. In this episode: Amanda Hale breaks down what ProStart actually is — Iron Chef rules for the culinary side (a 10-foot kitchen, two butane burners, no running water, no refrigeration), Shark Tank rules for management (pitch a fictional restaurant to judges like real investors) Joslyn talks through the dish that helped put Carlsbad on top, and the steep learning curve from her first year competing to this one David explains his role in keeping the team on time and on track during competition, and what changed in the team’s chemistry this year A conversation about long mornings, a first plane ride, a first trip to Whole Foods, and what it means to give teenagers a real taste of where their skills could take them. Part 2 of this series airs next week.
