Volunteers are working to restore The Dominion tugboat to her former glory, and make this boat a living piece of history. But they've found out that history may still be living aboard.
NW NERD goes on a ghost hunt with AGHOST, led by author and expert Ross Allison, and finds out that this boat has a lot of stories to tell.

Working alongside ghosts at this historic Oregon hotel

NW NERD archive: Dyer stops at a hotel while on a road trip through Oregon. But this unique hotel has a history that some say continues to haunt its hallways ... and rooms. The ghostly activity at the Grand Lodge in Forest Grove is so prevalent that the front desk maintains a ghost log for employees and guests to document their experiences. NW NERD takes a look at this ghost log, and in a way, brings it to life.

Warning: Some may disagree with parts of the discussion ... and that's OK.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe."
A little honesty -- this is not the usual NW NERD Podcast episode. While it's not the focus, the discussion in this episode deals with politics and other points of disagreement. There are a range of guests in this episode, and none of them align. People are going to speak their minds, and express opinions. But to be clear, that is not what this episode is about. It's about all of us.
It's hard not to notice the division and the toxic nature of many interactions these days, from social media to real life. Disagreeing usually devolves into demonizing. We're going to talk with people who say otherwise. And we're going to pull in some pop culture lessons to remind us how to rise above division, disagree without demonizing, and how we can all be civil ... if we choose.
