Podcasts about academies

Last year, Mountlake Terrace City Manager Jeff Niten and his team launched their citizen academy. It was designed to teach local citizens about how their local government operates, foster an environment of transparency and community engagement, and hopefully create ambassadors who would then be able to share their newfound knowledge with others.  In this episode, Jeff talks about what he and his team learned about their community of 25,000 just north of Seattle and how they tweaked this year's upcoming structure and curriculum.  If you have considered starting your own citizen academy you will definitely want to check this episode out.

In partnership with RENDR Festival and supported by the National Talent Academy for VFX, we are delighted to present the first in a very special speaker series. Recorded on location at RENDR 2026 in Banana Block, Belfast, we catch up with Irish TV and feature film photographer Helen Sloan, whose expansive list of credits includes How to Train Your Dragon, Wednesday, Derry Girls, and Foundation. In this in-depth conversation, she discusses the responsibilities and artistry of the role, and shares how she ascended in her career following her first big break on Game of Thrones.https://www.filmireland.net/podcast-tv-feature-film-photographer-helen-sloan-wednesday-game-of-thronesThis series of talks was recorded in The Spinners Mill Studio, a podcast and DJ studio based in Banana Block offering tailored solutions for DJ sessions, small-scale events and podcasting from concept to final distribution. Helen SloanHelen was born in rural Ireland. Given her first camera at age 11, she quickly came into her “fly on the wall” role, capturing snapshots of life around her. At age 18 while studying Art in Belfast, she landed among a group of circus performers - where her non intrusive style of photography and technical mind lent itself well to performance photography. She travelled the world with various troupes and performers, spending a large amount of time in Iceland. A series of melancholy portraits caught the eye of a movie producer - who invited her to work on a series of horror films. Sloan landed more and more jobs on film and television sets over the next decade - and the “Game of Thrones” came to her doorstep. Helen is responsible for the photography from the hit HBO drama having been there from the first day of the pilot, until the very last day of filming. The job covered many genres of photography; landscape, portraiture, studio posters and behind the scene documentary. She is a European Nikon Ambassador and the first Irish member of The Society of Motion Picture Still Photographers.RENDR FestivalThis is a unique event celebrating creative craft and artistry in a fully immersive two-day festival exploring the space between Creativity and Technology.

Saskatchewan schools now offer several specialized academies for kids interested in everything from football and dance to softball and soccer. This month, Saskatoon Public Schools announced it will add hockey academies to five of its elementary schools. Some people are wondering: Is this good for kids? We ask teachers, parents, and a kinesiology professor to weigh the pros and cons of enrolling kids in specialized academies.

Starting around age 40, women can lose 3 to 8 percent of their muscle mass each decade if they're not actively doing something to protect it. At the same time, body fat tends to increase, especially around the midsection, leaving many women frustrated that their old routines no longer work. Add in the hormonal shifts of menopause, and suddenly the risk of insulin resistance, osteopenia, osteoporosis, and even frailty down the road feels very real. But here's the good news: muscle is not just about looking toned. It's your currency for strength, independence, and longevity. It supports your bones, protects against falls and fractures, stabilizes blood sugar, and keeps your metabolism humming. Midlife is an opportunity to build muscle and change the trajectory of your life. My guest today is Professor Stuart Phillips, PhD, FACSM, FCAHS, one of the world's top researchers on muscle health, protein metabolism, and aging. Dr. Phillips is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and a member of the School of Medicine at McMaster University. He is a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Skeletal Muscle Health. His work centers on the interaction of exercise/physical activity, aging, and nutrition in skeletal muscle and body composition. He is a fellow of several Academies, Societies, and Colleges, including the ACSM, but was most recently appointed as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (FRSC). Today, we are going to break down midlife myths and barriers and share how to thrive in your second act with practical and accessible strategies.

In this episode, Jennifer McFarlane shares the story behind Romeo High School's academy model and how it has evolved to create more personalized, student-centered learning experiences. She walks listeners through how the model began in 2015–16, expanded across grade levels, and now uses intentional structures like card sorts, small learning communities, and teacher teams to support students in exploring and committing to CTE pathways. The conversation highlights measurable outcomes such as improved graduation rates and reduced math failures, while also surfacing key lessons around teacher collaboration, stakeholder involvement, and the importance of a clear "North Star" when redesigning the high school experience.

We walk you through why letters like ch, ll, and even rr used to appear in the Spanish alphabet—and why they were eventually removed. We explain the role of the Real Academia Española and the network of language academies that oversee updates to Spanish, including the move to classify these as dígrafos rather than independent letters.

Are you assuming “I'm a varsity athlete, so the Athlete piece is handled”? That assumption can cost you an appointment. For the Service Academies, being “athletic” isn't just team participation—it's quantifiable performance, leadership, and a smart plan to crush the CFA. In this Academy-focused episode of our Scholar • Athlete • Leader series, retired Army officer LTC Rob Kirkland and former Air Force officer Trish Dach break down how academies actually evaluate your athletic profile, what percent of your Whole Candidate Score it can influence, and how to tell your story so the board moves your score up—even if you're not a team captain. We also cover real-world CFA strategy, timelines, and injury-proof planning. You'll learn: Why athletics materially impact your Whole Candidate Score and how some academies weigh it (≈10–20%). The reality on recruited athletes (~18–23% of each class) vs. what every appointee must show. What counts as “elite” if your sport isn't a school varsity (e.g., national rankings, Ironman, CrossFit). Exactly what's on the CFA and where most candidates stumble. Practical minimums/safe lines for each CFA event—and why hitting only minimums can still fail you overall. How to write the “so what” so your resume earns extra manual points. Timing your tests to avoid injuries and deadline crunches. Timestamps 0:00 – Intro & why “Athlete” matters at academies 3:20 – Leadership & lessons sports uniquely teach future officers 5:10 – Athlete share of the Whole Candidate Score (and why it's non-negotiable) 6:20 – Varsity letters, captains, awards: the “gold standard”—and beyond 7:40 – Elite accomplishments outside school sports (what “wow” looks like) 10:58 – Integrity & estimating senior-year roles (what to list now) 12:50 – The “So What” box: how to quantify impact and stratify yourself 15:27 – No captains? Here's how to prove leadership anyway 18:16 – Team vs. individual sports: how boards perceive them 19:53 – Starting late? Smart sport selection & runway planning 22:00 – CFA events overview & common failure points 23:55 – Passing standards, “safe lines,” and why minimums aren't enough 26:01 – Retesting, seminars, and training timelines that work 31:40 – Injury-proof your app: test timing & deadline realities 33:00 – Final checklist to maximize your Athlete score ► CFA score planning & practice (take a practice test this week!) ► Book a 1:1 Academy strategy session to build your application plan and increase your chances of earning the appointment

These young modelers represent the future of the hobby, learning precision and patience through scale modeling as part of their curriculum. With hourly seminars covering everything from weathering techniques to creating display bases, there's something for modelers of all skill levels to learn.Just two weeks later on October 18th, the Cincinnati Scale Modelers transform the Tri-State Warbird Museum into a modeling showcase where history comes alive.

With fully restored World War II aircraft including a B-25, Focke-Wulf 190, the museum provides an immersive backdrop that celebrates both modeling craftsmanship and aviation history.Both shows feature vendor areas, special awards, raffles with valuable prizes, and food options that keep you fueled throughout the day.

In this episode, Susan Britton—a pioneer in neuroscience-based coaching—reveals why so many of us get stuck in the “Uncertainty Gap” and how we can rewrite our internal scripts to move forward with confidence.

Give to help Chris make the Truce Podcast In 2 Samuel 24 David is told that he must buy a certain piece of land in an act of repentance for his sins. The man who owns the land says that he'd like to give David the land and the animals to sacrifice. But David turns him down, insisting that he won't give to God something that cost him nothing. This story demonstrates something that may be missing from the Christian world today. Sacrifice should cost us something. Sacrifice should be a sacrifice. In the 1970s, school districts in the North and South were told that they had to integrate schools. This move was opposed by people of all sorts, including some Christians who worried that if segregation academies lost their tax-exempt status then Christian schools would too. This is the sad story of how some evangelicals with large followings came to oppose school integration. Our special guest is Daniel K. Williams, author of the excellent book God's Own Party. I also feature a clip from Angie Maxwell author of The Long Southern Strategy. Sources In Search of Another Country by Joseph Crespino Boston Against Busing by Ronald Formisano Reaganland by Rick Perlstein The Evangelicals by Frances Fitzgerald 2 Samuel 24 Article on NPR God's Own Party by Daniel K. Williams Discussion Questions Sacrifice requires sacrifice. What are your thoughts on that statement? Do you believe in school integration? How should it have happened in the 1970s? Would you have wanted your kids to be bused to a different town if it meant a more multicultural experience? Why did some evangelicals with large followings think they needed to tie themselves to the GOP? How do we reconcile with the history of religious segregation academies?

Give to help Chris continue Truce. Update: I would like to apologize for an error I made in the original version of this story. I stated that tuition payments to private schools are tax-exempt on the federal level. They are not. They sometimes are on the state level. The episode has been edited to reflect the correct information. When Brown v. Board of Education passed the Supreme Court in 1954, segregationists stepped up their efforts to keep black children out of their schools. If they couldn't use public schools, they'd establish their own private academies. In the 60's the Supreme Court struck down mandatory Bible reading and prayer in schools, causing some Christians to establish private Christian schools. This movement had unfortunate timing in that it lined up with the segregation academy movement. To our shame, many Protestant schools were segregation academies. But this story isn't so easy. In this episode and the next, we'll explore the strange twists and turns of the private school movements of the 1960s and 70s. They illustrate just how tangled evangelicals are with schools, taxes, and racism.

This week Topher and Jeff talk with Shawn Pauly, former University of Connecticut men's ice hockey player and now Director of GForce Sports Academy. We fundamentally recognize that everyone has a different path in hockey and there is not a specific journey that will make you more successful. The reality is more hockey academies are opening across the country and many parents are curious if that environment would be a good fit for their player. We hope this episode gives parents and players some insight and helps weigh the pros and cons of sports academies. In this episode we talk about: — Not always looking for scouts when you're playing and finding the fun first — The questions parents should ask if they are considering an academy — A day in the life of an academy student: the pros and cons — FOMO in hockey, and truly finding the best fit for you AND SO MUCH MORE!
