The Pop List turns 1 year old April 10, 2017 and to honor this milestone I've decided to record and release a very different episode of The Pop List. 

  This is a bit of an artistic endeavor so the format and the subject matter are extremely different from anything we've released before. If you are not a fan of this episode, we completely understand and we only say, fear not, as we will return with a regular episode of The Pop List very soon.

   But until then, happy birthday The Pop List and thanks for all of your support over the last year.

Hope you enjoy, "Things Have Changed"

Your host, Floyd.

     Whether due to a lifetime of training or unflappable instinct, dogs surprise us on a daily basis with their loyalty, determination, and ability to continually prove that they truly are "man's best friend. 

    Some of these will make you smile and some may make you cry, but they are all a snapshot in time, proving once again how valuable dogs are to us as companions, and protectors.

Whether we want to admit it or not, in today's GPS and digital age we are almost constantly monitored in one way or another.  So when someone simply vanishes off the face of the earth we are all the more perplexed and confused as to how this is even possible.  Well The Pop List is here to tell you that it still happens, and a whole lot more that we like to admit. 

As per usual, we're not going to cover the rich and famous, most well known, and endlessly covered cases in this episode.  No, no, we're going to cover the cases of disappearances that involved the average Joe and Jane just like you and me. 

Unexplained Disappearances.  This week, on The Pop List.

Urban Legends are, for the most part, our way of passing on cautionary tales of warning against dangerous or harmful experiences.  They are the modern version of the medicine man's wise advice and they are passed from generation to generation as both a form of entertainment, and a form of self preservation for a younger generation.  Most of them are made up or horribly exaggerated tales of what can go wrong in the most mundane of situations.  But when you take a closer look through the annals of the Urban Legend library you will occasionally run into one or two that aren't merely inspired by true events but are indeed completely and utterly true.  In this episode we've collect five of these types of Urban Legends and we've presented here like pretty little maids in a row, just for you out faithful listener.

Artists gain their inspiration from all kinds of sources, but when it comes to character development and fictional people, most writers have at least a jumping off point from their real lives that they use to create their characters.   When these characters are compelling and popular, the audience will often start wondering where the inspiration came for these larger than life characters.  With a little digging and sometimes the artists themselves coming clean about their inspirations, sometimes we learn that the real inspirations can be just as entertaining as their fictional counterparts.
