    The Carrollton Bus Crash | Episode 7: Lawsuits

    “We never have been able to separate the two issues. There was the drunk driver who caused the crash, and there was the unsafe bus. If the bus had been safe, none of the children would have died in that crash…”     These words were spoken by Karolyn Nunnallee, mother of 10-year-old Patty, the youngest child who died in the Carrollton Bus Crash.    In episode 7, “Lawsuits,” we share how both of those issues were addressed following the tragedy.    Specifically, we discuss the trial of Larry Mahoney that took place in 1989, and the legal action that was pursued against the manufacturers of the school bus on which the church youth group from Radcliff, Kentucky, was being transported.    All the episodes in the Carrollton Bus Crash series are available in audio form on your favorite podcast app, or you can view the recordings on the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.    How to support Scandal Water: Rate, review, and subscribe!

    The Carrollton Bus Crash | Episode 6: Scars

    “For burn victims, the treatment for burns is almost as bad– if not worse–than the actual injury itself…”   This observation was made by Harold Dennis, Jr., one of the survivors of the Carrollton Bus Crash. And as these words allude, for the majority of the 40 passengers who managed to escape that fiery church bus on May 14, 1988, the nightmare was far from over.    In episode 6, “Scars,” we discuss the recovery process that some of the survivors had to undergo, and how they have dealt with the long-term physical and emotional trauma that resulted from their horrific experience.    All the episodes in the Carrollton Bus Crash series are available in audio form on your favorite podcast app, or you can view the recordings on the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.    How to support Scandal Water: Rate, review, and subscribe!

    Reel Takes: Summer 2026 Movie Round-Up

    Join Ashley (and her surprise co-host) for a lighthearted look at four of this summer’s movie releases. Here’s a hint at our reviews: One completely charmed us, one had an unexpected message of friendship, one was ridiculously fun, and one made us wish we had just stayed home! See if you can guess which was which: The Sheep Detectives: A flock of highly intelligent sheep attempts to solve a murder mystery, and a winter lamb finds a home. Masters of the Universe: Prince Adam discovers he is He-Man, but is the discovery as fun as the Saturday morning cartoon? The End of Oak Street: Suburban 1980s families vs. dinosaurs. Should Jurassic Park be worried? Coyote vs. Acme: The legal battle of the century! We discuss Wile E. Coyote’s courtroom showdown against the ACME Corporation and the battle to bring the movie to the screen in the first place.
