June 18, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Outer Banks is starting up on its final adventure.

Netflix has shared the official teaser trailer for the drama series’ fifth and final season. It has also announced that the season will make its debut on Aug. 20.

Returning to the show are series regulars Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Drew Starkey, Carlacia Grant, Austin North and Fiona Palomo. J. Anthony Crane and Cullen Moss have also been upped to series regulars for the final season.

This new season finds the Pogues “at their absolute breaking point following the tragic loss of JJ in Morocco. Stranded far from home and mourning the heart of their crew, they’ve lost the Blue Crown and continue to face a gauntlet of familiar threats,” according to its official description. “With Chandler Groff still at large, Dalia and the Corsairs closing in, and the Kooks ensuring the Pogues have no home to return to, John B, Sarah, Kiara, Pope, and Cleo must rely on their scrappy instincts—and an uneasy alliance with Rafe—to keep from falling apart for good.”

This new mission is now a race to “reclaim their future and finally win the freedom they’ve been chasing since the beginning,” the description continues. “It’s the Pogues against the world as they seek to avenge their best friend and bring it on home…one final time.”

The teaser trailer finds the crew reeling after the death of their friend JJ.

“I saw what he did to JJ. And he knows I’m not letting it go,” Bailey’s Kiara says, before Cline’s Sarah Cameron says, “If you’re on the bottom, you have to risk everything.”

Jonas Pate, Josh Pate and Shannon Burke are the creators of Outer Banks. Season 5 consists of 10 hourlong episodes.

Video shows moment 2-year-old boy was rescued from hot car

June 18, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(CLARK COUNTY, Wash.) — Heart-stopping video has been released showing the moment a deputy in Clark County, Washington, saved a 2-year-old boy who was left alone in a hot car on a 92-degree day.

Witnesses called 911 in May to report the child in a parked car, and the witnesses tried to create shade around the car as they waited for responders, the Clark County Sheriff’s Department said on Wednesday.

Deputy Ben Hulsey arrived at the scene to find the 2-year-old strapped in his car seat, “sweating heavily, with his head tilted to the side and not responding,” the sheriff’s department said. The car had a small crack in the back window, authorities said.

Hulsey broke a window to rescue the little boy, who was checked by medics, authorities said.

Investigators determined the boy was left alone for about 16 minutes, the sheriff’s department said. When deputies found his parents, they had been inside a nearby grocery store for almost 30 minutes, authorities said.

The parents are facing reckless endangerment charges, the department said.

“Never leave a child or pet alone in a vehicle. Not even for a few minutes,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement Wednesday. “If you see a child or pet left alone in a vehicle and believe they’re in distress, don’t hesitate to call 911. That’s exactly what these community members did.”

At least seven children have died in hot cars so far this year in the U.S., according to national nonprofit KidsAndCars.org. Last year, at least 37 children died in hot cars across the country, KidsAndCars.org said.

Gulf states still hammered with dangerous flooding as Tropical Storm Arthur weakens

June 18, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(NEW YORK) — Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, weakened overnight but its energy is still powerful enough to cause serious flooding and other issues in the southeast Thursday.

A rare High Risk, level 4 of 4, for life-threatening flood potential was in place over southern Mississippi, southern Alabama and western Florida panhandle along the central Gulf Coast Thursday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Historically, a third of all flood-related fatalities and 80% of all flood-related damages occur in such high-risk areas, according to NWS data.

Areas under the High Risk advisory include Pensacola, Florida; Mobile, Alabama; and the Mississippi cities of Gulfport, McComb and Hattiesburg.

Rainfall rates of multiple inches per hour are possible, and some areas could see up to 20 inches of rainfall accumulation.

Extremely heavy rain already hit the Gulf states Thursday morning. Kenner, Louisiana, near the New Orleans airport, saw a radar estimated rainfall rate of 6.5 inches per hour.

Some Gulf areas are under a level 3 of 4 risk for flooding, including Montgomery, Alabama, and Atlanta, Georgia.

Tornadoes are also possible in the central Gulf Coast Thursday.

The life-threatening flood threat will continue into the overnight hours and people need to remain aware of their flood risk overnight into early Friday morning, forecasters warn.

More heavy rain will continue in the South on Friday and more sporadically on Saturday.

There is simply no substitute for hearing those songs performed live. Her artistry, her musicianship, her storytelling, and a discography that is truly unmatched all came together in what I genuinely believe is the highest expression of her craft.”

“Yes, I’m her brother,” he noted. “But I also know I’m one of millions who recognize that we’re witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime artist at the absolute peak of her powers.”

As for the Eternal Sunshine tour production, Frankie said, “It was cinematic, theatrical, intimate, spectacular, and vocally flawless all at once. Somehow it felt like a Broadway show, a film, and a concert existing in the same magical space.”

It ain’t no lie, Sleep Theory’s covered ‘Bye Bye Bye’

June 18, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Sleep Theory is doing this tonight, and by “this,” we mean cover *NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye.”

The “Stuck in My Head” rockers have long included a rendition of the boy band classic in their live set, and have now recorded an official studio version.

The track adds heavy guitar riffs while keeping the sugary vocal harmonies and would certainly be a fitting soundtrack to Deadpool brutally murdering countless members of the Time Variance Authority.

You can watch the video for Sleep Theory’s “Bye Bye Bye” cover streaming now on YouTube.

The cover follows Sleep Theory’s 2025 debut album, Afterglow. The record’s current single, “Words Are Worthless,” hit #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart and is currently climbing the Alternative Airplay chart.

Sleep Theory will launch a U.S. tour in July.

Charli XCX explains ‘the dancefloor is dead’ line, reveals which artist she ‘totally rides for’

June 18, 2026 by WDNY Radio

When Charli XCX released “Rock Music,” the first song from her upcoming album. Music, Fashion, Film, many fans interpreted the lyric “I think the dance floor is dead” as a blanket statement about the entire genre. Even Madonna responded, writing, “If your dance floor feels dead/Maybe you’re playing the wrong music.” But in her new Rolling Stone cover story, she insists that’s not what she meant.

“That lyric is very much about my relationship with Brat, and my personal experience with that album,” she says. “My husband runs a dance-music label. There’s been such a wealth of incredible dance/electronic-adjacent records that have been coming out recently. … Dance music is in an incredible place.”

While Charli insists her new project is not a rock album, as has been rumored, she says it’s also not like Brat.

“I knew when I was making it that I was never going to make that record again,” she says. “It’s not creatively rewarding for me to make the same thing twice.”

But she rejects the notion of genre as “a very old school notion, adding, “It’s just me [and my collaborators], doing our thing.”

Also in the interview, Charli praises some fellow artists who, like her, took several years to find their audience.

“There’s been a lot of artists who have been doing things for a long time, who are having their moment now,” she tells the magazine. “Like Zara [Larsson]. I’m so f****** happy for her. And someone who I totally ride for is RAYE.”

Charli and RAYE have been friends for 10 years and have collaborated several times.

“There was a time in our lives when we were together a lot,” Charli says. “And her journey, becoming an independent artist and doing her thing, is really cool.”
