Podcasts about Across America

A ~month ago I left from Chicago to bike (and amtrak) to plzdontkillus in Berkeley. I've been street interviewing/conversing with a wide variety of people I ran into about AI futures and philosophy. I also have been live streaming since I got to PDKU, leaning more talking to young founders but a variety overall. I'll try to share what I've learned about the American public, persuasion, social media and the EA movement. 1. Almost no one in "Normal America" has any idea what is going on.  They don't have a paid account, they don't know what Claude code is, they especially haven't heard the recent evals/metr graphs or even a vague sense of how cheap SWE has gotten/ how powerful these recent models with good harness/ context eng can be. This makes sense; most people don't know any coding, they don't know much math, they don't know what an api is, etc. So having a high fidelity understanding of AI might require months of pre understanding of math/stem/digital infra fundamentals. This interview is with the city clerk of Danville Iowa, a town of ~900. Presumably this is approximately the most tech savvy person in the [...] ---Outline:(00:38) 1. Almost no one in "Normal America" has any idea what is going on.(01:52) 2. Almost everyone is directionally concerned or becomes concerned be once thinking about it a little bit.(03:19) 3. Belief that this might cause human extinction actually isn't that uncommon, mostly coming from sci-fi movies, but people are still most concerned about jobs and especially loss of meaning.(04:40) 4. The EA movement was pretty useless to me, the other community (Torchbearer community) I was in was significantly more supportive, helpful, etc. despite having been in it for a few months and having been in the EA movement for ~8 years. This has basically solidified that I won't be broadly participating in EA anymore at least relating to AI safety stuff.(06:47) 5. Social media is hard, Social media is bad, I'm bad at social media(08:57) 6. I'm not sure what my theory of change is or should be --- First published: July 15th, 2026 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Czob95kjXPEpKYTsJ/recap-of-bike-trip-street-interviews-across-america --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

A disturbing new trend is spreading across America: "teen takeovers," where hundreds—and in some cases thousands—of teenagers organize through social media to descend on cities, overwhelm police, and create chaos. In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Greenville, North Carolina Mayor P.J. Connolly to discuss how his city became one of the latest targets—and the decisive actions local leaders took to stop it. Mayor Connolly explains how TikTok and other social media platforms are fueling these gatherings, why strong leadership and parental accountability matter, and how Greenville's curfew policy dramatically reduced the problem almost overnight. Tudor and Mayor Connolly also discuss the broader cultural questions surrounding parenting, mentorship, law enforcement, faith, and the responsibility communities have in guiding the next generation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Karl visits with us to share his Bigfoot knowledge from his many years of research from across America.

We are here at Epcot to enter The Land Pavilion and check out the new Soarin' Across America to provide a play by play POV review of this new attraction. Note that since it has opened times can vary greatly, from 20 minutes to over 90. If you can't walk on it first thing in the morning, I recommend dinner time. If the queue is long, hover around the area doing other attractions until you see the time go down, and then scurry over. And scurry quickly because others are seeing the same. That means that while the new shake at Seasons "Smorin' Across America" is tasty, you need to focus and get in the queue while the opportunity presents itself.   Here's a link to Disney's Insider look at Soarin' Across America.

Early childhood education is one of the most important investments we can make in our future. Across America, more than 9.7 million children from birth to age five are supported by a workforce of approximately 2.2 million early childhood educators, yet access, affordability, and equity remain significant challenges. State-funded preschool programs currently serve only about 37% of 4-year-olds and 9% of 3-year-olds, while the average annual cost of center-based care for two children can approach $28,000, placing tremendous pressure on working families.  According to the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment (CSCCE) and the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER), 2025 State of Preschool Yearbook – preschool enrollment statistics. This week, I sit down with Michele Asher, Senior Education Advisor for Centers of Excellence at Primrose Schools, to discuss how we can create a more equitable and inclusive early learning system for every child. Drawing on decades of experience in educational leadership, special education, behavioral guidance, and staff development, Michele shares a powerful perspective: what happens when we intentionally view the world through the eyes of a child? Together, we explore the role of high-quality early education, the importance of supporting educators, strategies for advancing inclusion, and why equity in the earliest years can shape outcomes for a lifetime. Join us for a thoughtful conversation about building stronger foundations for children, empowering families, and creating opportunities that allow every learner to thrive from the very start.  Listen now and join the conversation: What does true equity in early childhood education look like, and how do we get there?     For more information: https://www.primroseschools.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Is Disney still worth it in 2026? Short answer: yes. In this episode we are breaking down exactly why 2026 is actually a really great time to visit Walt Disney World. We cover the 250th Anniversary of the United States and how Disney is celebrating it, including the return of Soarin' Across America. We talk about what just reopened, Rock and Roller Coaster with its new Muppets theming, Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run now featuring Mando and Grogu, Big Thunder Mountain back and smoother than ever, and the new Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse live show in Animation Courtyard. We also get into the promotions available right now, including free kids dining when you book a room and dining package, and free water park entry on check-in day through September 8th. And we talk about why fall is one of the best times to visit, from Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party to the holiday season that follows. If you have been on the fence about a Disney trip this year, this episode might just be the nudge you needed.

Six years after the police reform movement reshaped the national conversation, we're finally far enough away from the slogans to ask a simple question:What happened after?Across America, experienced officers retired, recruiting collapsed, detective units shrank, community policing disappeared, and taxpayers were left paying billions in settlements.Meanwhile, federal agents are now conducting major operations in places like Los Angeles' MacArthur Park while local departments struggle to retain experienced personnel.Tonight we're not arguing.We're auditing.Topics include:• MacArthur Park federal raids• LAPD and the Jameson shooting• The police experience gap• Criminal cases falling apart• Convictions being overturned• Taxpayer-funded settlements• Community policing• The hidden cost of losing institutional knowledge

Lewis and Clark are often thought of as some of the earliest explorers of the western U.S. But more than a century before, Moncacht-Ape, a Yazoo explorer, reached the Pacific Ocean mainly by foot. The Indigenous explorer’s accounts were documented by French colonists, but were often dismissed as being untrue. But as featured in an article in Outside Magazine, historians and explorers may have been looking at the accounts all wrong.    Mike Bezemek, author of “Mysteries of the National Parks,” wrote about his experience following the Yazoo explorer’s trail in the documented accounts and argues that Moncacht-Ape’s accounts are true. Bezemek joins us to share more on his journey and who this Yazoo explorer was.     k

What if the biggest stories in America and around the Western world are all connected?In this episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings examines what he calls the emerging Sovereignty Era — a historic shift in which ordinary citizens are demanding greater accountability from government, renewed respect for national borders, meaningful citizenship, election integrity, and a return to self-government.For decades, political elites operated under the assumption that national sovereignty was becoming less important in an increasingly globalized world. But reality has a way of challenging assumptions. Across America and throughout Europe, citizens are increasingly asking whether governments are listening to the people they are supposed to serve.Doug explores why so many seemingly unrelated events point to the same larger trend: a growing demand for accountability, representation, and common sense. From questions surrounding election integrity and border security to citizenship, national identity, and the role of government itself, this episode connects the dots behind the headlines and offers a broader historical perspective on where America may be headed.This isn't a discussion about left versus right.It's a discussion about whether citizens still have a voice in their own government.Join Doug for a thoughtful conversation about why the Sovereignty Era may be the defining political and cultural shift of our time.Contribute to the show at: www.DougBillings.usThe Right Side with Doug BillingsWe're in this together.

The Most Magical Ballgame On Earth - Our Banana Ball Adventure at Walt Disney World Last weekend, we traveled to vacation destination Where Dreams Come True for another just over 24 hour visit. This time, however, it was not all about the attractions, the food and the Disney Characters. Instead, we went to experience a unique sporting event that was making it's inaugural appearance in Orlando and we're telling you all about it. That's right! This week's show is all about The Most Magical Ballgame On Earth - Our Banana Ball Adventure at Walt Disney World. We'll share all the fun and excitement we experienced as the Party Animals took on the Loco Beach Coconuts at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

Every place has a flavor that tells its story, and that story might be reason enough to plan a trip. That's the idea behind a food trail—a travel journey dedicated to the best food or drink in a destination. You might spend a weekend chasing barbecue across  North Carolina, or work your way up the Maine coast one lobster roll at a time. Food trails can transform a meal into a full-on adventure, offering travelers a deeply personal way to connect with a place, its people, and its history.In this episode, host Angie Orth is joined by food and travel writer Kayleigh Ruller, a contributor to Food & Wine, Eater, and the Charlotte Observer, based in New York and North Carolina. With years of experience exploring culinary cultures across the country, Kayleigh brings both local expertise and a journalist's curiosity to the growing phenomenon of food trail travel.You'll learn what makes a food trail more than just eating your way through a city, how to plan one that fits your schedule and appetite, and why the best food trails are often the ones you build yourself. Kayleigh shares her own standout trails, her most memorable food trail experiences, and thoughtful guidance on how to engage respectfully with the cultural traditions you encounter along the way.What You'll Learn:3:22 What a food trail actually is and how to plan the perfect one around your interests7:16 The most memorable food trail experiences Kayleigh has had12:46 California food trails you have to try20:33 Unexpected food trails worth building a whole trip around27:06 How to engage respectfully with cultural cuisines and food traditionsIs there a food trail you're excited about?

What if the financial system most Americans trust is only part of a much larger hidden structure operating behind the scenes? In this explosive episode, Mel Carmine joins Michael Jaco to discuss hidden financial systems, secret institutional structures, political corruption, and why a growing number of Americans are waking up to what they believe is a coordinated system of manipulation designed to keep the public financially dependent and politically divided. Mel also breaks down the major political shifts happening across the country as establishment politicians and “RINOs” continue losing influence amid rising grassroots frustration and public distrust in traditional leadership. At the center of the discussion is a deeper question:

Across America's biggest cities, groups of teenagers are swarming stores, attacking bystanders, targeting police officers, and organizing “teen takeovers” through social media. Officials insist crime is falling but viral videos tell a different story. Manhattan Institute fellow and “The War on Cops” author Heather Mac Donald joins Morning Wire to discuss what's driving the rise in youth violence, why cities are struggling to respond, and how anti-police policies may be making the problem worse.

The Hot Take Hoedown is officially here — and the "Sons of Sandusky" are already $150 richer. This week Mike and EB debut their brand new segment featuring the spiciest opinions from around the theme park internet — and then decide whether each one is a genuine hot take, a bad take, or just something EB has been saying for years. Is Iron Gwazi actually better than VelociCoaster? Did Cedar Point peak in 2001? Should Space Mountain at Walt Disney World be permanently retired? Are RMC conversions a net negative for the industry? Was Epcot better before it had roller coasters? EB has thoughts on all of them. Some of them are his own. Before the Hoedown though — Cedar Point's Millennium Force has a seat belt problem and Tony Clark is blaming Intamin. NightFlight Expedition at Dollywood has quietly removed "spring 2026" from its website and now just says "2026." Soarin' Across America has opened at Epcot and it's getting the full Mike and EB treatment — spoiler, the lawn is not that green on the DC Mall. Montezooma's Revenge train has arrived at Knott's Berry Farm but enthusiasts are already upset about the over-the-shoulder restraints. And the Mystical Fountain at Lost Continent says goodbye — though Mike has a CoasterDamus prediction about where it ends up. The Hot Take Hoedown closes with one final take that might be the most genuinely interesting of the night — does consuming too much theme park content rob you of the ability to experience parks with wonder? And is "the price of expertise is the loss of wonder" the new Coaster Radio tagline? One thing is certain. EB wants to wrap up with the theme song. The Sons of Sandusky are standing by.
