Broadcasting from 4,200 feet in the Oregon hills, Sam Wilson—"The Voice of Chi-Town" and "The Reddest Beard in the High Desert"—returns with another loaded episode of the Make It Out Alive (MOA) Broadcast. This week’s show is a wild ride through heartbreak, controversy, and classic action grit.

Sam leads off with the devastating story of a sightseeing helicopter crash in New York City, digging into the mechanical history of the aircraft and the tragic loss of a family of five from Spain. Then it’s on to a fiery media fight as the Trump White House locks horns with the Associated Press over the rebranding of the Gulf of Mexico. It’s censorship, press freedom, and some good old-fashioned political arm wrestling.

Next, Sam pivots to the messy downfall of Disney’s Snow White remake—an analysis not just of the film’s box office failure, but how Hollywood’s forced messaging and studio meddling may be killing the magic. From cutting classic characters like the seven dwarfs to polarizing PR missteps, Sam holds nothing back.

But it’s not all bad news. Sam shines a nostalgic spotlight on strong, authentic female leads done right, with a tribute to Ripley (Aliens) and Sarah Connor (Terminator), contrasting them with modern portrayals that miss the mark. There’s even a detour into ‘80s TV gold—Airwolf, Hunter, and how old-school action had grit, sweat, and heart.

To round it out, Sam responds to listener DR with a deep dive into hollow-handle survival knives—what gear actually matters in a pinch and how to build a functional, field-ready kit.

Segments include:

• Hudson Helicopter Horror: What Happened and Why It Matters
• Gulf of America? Trump v. AP and the Battle Over Words
• Snow White’s $500 Million Misstep: Where Did Disney Go Wrong?
• When Female Action Heroes Worked: Ripley, Connor & Respect
• Survival Knife Know-How: What to Pack in Your Hollow Handle
• Classic Throwbacks: Airwolf’s Fate & TV That Didn’t Preach

If you’re tired of mainstream fluff, thirsty for real talk, and appreciate preparedness, principled grit, and a dash of nostalgia, this one’s for you.

Tune in, stay sharp, and remember: If you don’t make it out alive, you won’t make it at all.

From surreal firsthand tales of naked assailants to an alarming Supreme Court ruling about police obligations, this episode pulls no punches.

Sam also dives into the gritty details of a tragic Chicago double homicide involving a man accused of murdering his own brother, and a brutal daylight beatdown in Miami—caught on camera while a cop stayed seated in her cruiser.
