For almost two decades, Angleberger has operated Maryland Heritage Tours, which offers ghost tours of downtown Frederick, as well as tours of cemeteries and Civil War battlegrounds.

Angleberger joined host Colin McGuire and Frederick News-Post reporter Danielle E. Gaines for a spooky Halloween edition of the Frederick Uncut podcast.

You may know Walter K. Olson because he’s a leading figure in Maryland’s congressional redistricting debate. Or from his articles as a fellow at the Cato Institute. Or maybe his nationally known blog, "Overlawyered." Or perhaps as an unbridled cheerleader for the town of New Market, where he lives.

In the latest episode of the Frederick Uncut podcast, Olson joined host Colin McGuire and Frederick News-Post reporter Danielle E. Gaines to talk about politics and law, nationally and locally.

News that a convicted sex offender in Michigan was granted joint legal custody of the child born to the woman he raped hits closer to home than local residents might realize.

Maryland is among the six states, including Michigan, where a rapist can be granted parental rights. Inga James, executive director of Heartly House, is among advocates who want to see that changed.

James sat down with Frederick Uncut host Colin McGuire and social services reporter Nancy Lavin to discuss the policies, people and services that shape her work with Frederick County's only comprehensive service hub for domestic assault, sexual assault and child abuse victims.

Republican Mayor Randy McClement and his Democratic challenger, Alderman Michael O’Connor join host Colin McGuire and News-Post editor Chris Kinsler for this joint episode of Frederick Uncut, answering questions about downtown blight, the proposed downtown hotel and conference center, the new police headquarters, transportation priorities, and property tax rates.

They also explained how they align with their party platforms and summarized their three main goals if elected, or re-elected, to the city’s highest office in November.

17-year-old Walkersville High School student Will Anderson, the student member of the Frederick County Board of Education joins host Colin McGuire and News-Post education reporter Allen Etzler to discuss his role as the non-voting representative of Frederick County public school students.

As Frederick puts a cap on the fair for 2017, Brian Smith, stage manager for The Great Frederick Fair, joined The Uncut Podcast to talk about his 42-year career working at the fair and meeting Johnny Cash.

Smith has worked at the fair since his sophomore year of high school. Host Colin McGuire and News-Post reporter Samantha Hogan talk with Smith about his favorite fair foods, the craziest problems Mother Nature has thrown at the maintenance crew and what keeps him coming back.

With opioid addiction at record levels in Maryland, Andrea Walker and Sarah Drennan are busy considering what can be done in Frederick County.

Walker, the director of Behavioral Health Services for the Frederick County Health Department, and Drennan, a clinical services manager for behavioral health, sat down with host Colin McGuire and News-Post health reporter Kate Masters to discuss the scope of the addiction problem and the newest treatments being considered in Frederick County. A syringe exchange program, for example, is being studied for feasibility. Another work group hopes to establish a 24-hour detox center by the end of 2019.

Ken Oldham and Malcolm Furgol, of United Way, sat down with Frederick Uncut host Colin McGuire and News-Post social services reporter Nancy Lavin to talk about the Unity Campaign fundraiser under their organization’s direction.

When Chief Ed Hargis took the helm of the Frederick Police Department in July of 2015, he had three decades of policing experience to draw on. Now Hargis is steering the Frederick Police Department as it tries to grow and evolve alongside a booming city.

The department is incorporating new policing technology, engaging in expansive recruiting efforts and lobbying for a $17.2 million headquarters.

Hargis sat down with host Colin McGuire and Frederick News-Post reporter Cameron Dodd for a special taping of Frederick Uncut. Hargis discussed his early career Camden, New Jersey, his goals for the Frederick Police Department and his Metallica fandom.

Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh has spent nearly three decades in public office, but his earliest inspiration came from a “quirky” place. During a conversation with Frederick Uncut guest host Allen Etzler and Frederick News-Post senior reporter Danielle E. Gaines, the attorney general talked about how politics and his worldview formed from a young age.

Frosh also detailed his office’s newly expanded powers, which include the ability to sue the federal government without first seeking approval from the governor or General Assembly.

The expanded powers — which more than 40 other state attorneys general already held — were included in a package of bills that Democratic lawmakers in Annapolis said would help counter action — or inaction — by President Donald Trump’s White House.
