August 9 2026; 7am: The new monthly employment report revealed that the U.S. lost an unexpected 23,000 jobs in July when economists originally anticipated a gain of 83,000 jobs. Plus, job numbers from May and June were revised down sharply by 103,000, suggesting the job market may be weaker than previously understood. This news comes on top of Americans already struggling with a housing shortage and the high cost of groceries and gasoline, made worse by the war in Iran. As the midterms rapidly approach, a new survey found that the majority of Americans view rising living costs as the biggest barrier to a better life, with 60% of respondents saying they wanted greater financial security. Democratic Mayor Matt Tuerk of Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Republican Mayor Daniel Rickenmann of Columbia, South Carolina join “The Weekend” to discuss the impact the economy has on their constituents.

Snow | September 22 to 23, 2026 An in-person event built for snow leaders and their teams.

Scott Lesak, President of Kasel Rocks Facility Services in Allentown, Pennsylvania, joins Phil to share his journey from professional track cyclist to firefighter to president of a mid-sized industrial snow operation. From starting a business with his dad at 15 while racing bicycles, to pivoting from high-end residential design build into recurring-revenue commercial snow, to running roughly 45 loaders across the entire eastern half of Pennsylvania, Scott shares hard-won lessons on communication, culture, and the personal transformation that reshaped how he leads. He also opens up about his firefighting years, his recovery from PTSD and alcohol, and why the change you want to see in your business starts within you. Connect with Scott on LinkedIn Key Learnings Hire for Attitude, Not Experience - Skills can be taught, but the willingness to learn and show up upbeat is what actually predicts whether someone will grow into a great team member. Recurring Revenue Multiplies Your Selling Effort - Selling $1.5M in one-time design build work every year gets you $1.5M, but selling $1.5M in three-year contracts stacks to $4.5M in revenue by year three. 12-Month Billing Reduces Snow Risk - Guaranteed 12-month billing on seasonal contracts is what makes it safe to invest in the loaders, plows, and equipment growth requires. Relationships Beat Production in Sales - Clients don't care how you plow snow or cut grass, they care that it's done, so the relationship side of the sales process matters more than showing off your production process. Not Everyone Thinks Like You Do - The older you get, the more you realize your thought process is unique, which means clarity and repetition in communication matter more than you think. Communication Is a True Competitive Advantage - Sending weather forecasts, game plan updates, and real-time production updates keeps clients informed and separates you from every other contractor claiming the same service.

Eric Thompson interviews longtime Realtor and Ninja, Brenda Fortna of Allentown, Pennsylvania. Brenda shares how a single sentence completely transformed her mindset, her business, and her life: "What if it all went right?" After stepping away from coaching and slipping into a mindset that quietly suggested her best years might be behind her, Brenda heard that phrase on a Ninja podcast and immediately adopted it as her new lens for life. What followed was a dramatic shift in both mindset and action. Brenda began preparing more intentionally for appointments, saying yes to opportunities she previously would have avoided, and embracing life list experiences with trust and optimism. She traveled to Spain for a month, took a spontaneous 7,000-mile road trip across the United States, visited national parks, connected with Ninjas across the country, and fully leaned into the belief that life and business could unfold beautifully. At the same time, her real estate business flourished. In just six months of active work during the year, Brenda exceeded her annual goals by more than 60 percent. She credits this to the joy, confidence, and flow she carried into every interaction.

Inflation may have sunk the Democratic Party at the ballot box in 2024. But high prices at the grocery store and the gas station are now a problem for the GOP. According to the Labor Department, consumer prices in April saw their biggest year-over-year jump in three years and gasoline prices were up 28% from a year earlier. For our special What's News series The Cost-of-Living Election, WSJ national politics reporter Sabrina Siddiqui met with voters and congressional candidates in and around Allentown, Pa., to uncover what stubborn inflation could mean for the area's primary election this Tuesday. She then speaks with the sitting congressman for Pennsylvania's 7th congressional district, Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, about what he's doing to address the rising cost of living.

Investigating interpersonal themes and the notion of community, Jen Elek is a studio artist and educator based in Seattle, Washington. She creates objects and installations of colorful glass and neon light employed as a form of non-verbal communication. Her most recent glass series titled Doliums is inspired by large Roman clay storage containers.  Elek received her BFA from Alfred University in Metal and Hot Glass sculpture in 1994, after training as a welder in Allentown, Pennsylvania. She was a student of Michael Scheiner, Dante Marioni, and Ann Wahlstrom at Pilchuck Glass School, and studied with Maestro Lino Tagliapietra at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. In addition to creating her own work, Elek has assisted glass artists such as Dale Chihuly, Kiki Smith, Preston Singletary, and Tagliapietra, on whose team she worked as a key member for 15 years. A vibrant contemporary glass artist, she exhibits alongside artists of other mediums, breaking some of the barriers that have kept glass in the realm of craft and offering it as a worthy medium of contemporary art. A member of the Northwest artist community, Elek's involvement in art organizations includes: Pilchuck Glass School, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Hilltop Artists, and as a guest lecturer at the University of Washington in Seattle. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Tacoma Art Museum, Pittsburgh Glass Center, and Traver Gallery in Seattle.

Utilizing blown furnace glass, Elek creates sculptural objects that display the material's ability to reflect, magnify and represent bold color. Traditional and innovative processes combine in her work to create colorful landscapes of glass. In the spring of 2017, she was awarded the Pilchuck Artist at Work Residency where she developed a new body of work titled Visual Fun, which highlighted the infallibility and vibrant colors of glass.  Elek has traveled to Canada, Japan, Australia, and throughout the United States teaching glassblowing workshops.

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: March 11, 2026Name of Podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS10: E5: Denny Somach - Getting the Led Out!SHOW SUMMARY:What if the biggest band in the world won by saying no? Author and hall of fame broadcaster Denny Somach joins us to unpack how Led Zeppelin rewrote the rules—refusing singles, skipping TV, guarding the studio—and still built a global legend on the strength of live shows, mystery, and relentless craft. Drawing on a vast archive, Denny shares the raw voices behind the myth: label chiefs, engineers, publicists, peers, and the band members themselves.We dive into Atlantic Records' unprecedented deal with Zeppelin and why Jimmy Page and Peter Grant's terms created a fortress around the music. Then we head to Headley Grange for a ground-level look at Physical Graffiti, Cashmere's hypnotic power, and the ambient tricks that made John Bonham's drums feel like thunder in a stairwell. Denny opens the vault on rare memorabilia—global picture sleeves that “weren't supposed to exist”—and the touring strategy that transformed college halls into a nationwide campaign. Along the way, we chase the near-mythic: Sabbath and Zeppelin jamming with tape maybe rolling, the XYZ sessions with Page and members of Yes, and a $500 Billy Joel headliner that foreshadowed Allentown.Beyond Zeppelin, Denny explains why classic rock radio lost its catalog and how his show, Rock and Roll for Grown Ups, brings back the songs we loved but stopped hearing—paired with tight interview clips that reveal the stories behind them. It's a conversation about taste, memory, and preservation: what survives, what gets erased, and how to listen with new ears.If you love rock history told by the people who lived it, you'll feel right at home. Hit play, then tell us your favorite Zeppelin track, the deep cut you miss on radio, and which lost story surprised you most.

Become a partner or contact us On this special series of the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast, we sat down with candidates running for U.S. House in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District ahead of the May 19, 2026 primary. To keep this fair and useful, every candidate was asked the same core questions. Mark Pinsley is not included because he dropped out. We also reached out multiple times to Congressman Ryan McKenzie's office and did not receive a response. In this episode, we speak with Lewis Shupe of Allentown. Campaign: https://realchange.us/ Why he is running and his first term goalShupe says a key goal is to harness the power of registered voters to help compose and promote legislative initiatives led by citizens. Day to day financial stressShupe points to food insecurity and says demand at food banks is rising, including among working people. He argues wages and cost of living are pushing more households toward needing help with basics. Healthcare and ACA premium tax creditsAsked about extending the ACA premium tax credits and making them permanent, Shupe focuses on restoring Medicare cuts he says were made in a major federal bill, and he says he would go further by supporting Medicare for All. Immigration enforcement, legal pathways, and work authorizationShupe argues that people already in the country should have a legal pathway to citizenship and says families should not be separated. He also claims recent border politics are being misrepresented and frames the issue as needing less drama and more workable solutions. Warehouses and data centersShupe responds to the region becoming “the land of warehouses” and data centers by describing tradeoffs. He says there are pluses and minuses to data centers and references a proposed facility in the western part of the region. His emphasis is on weighing local impacts rather than treating these projects as automatically good. HomelessnessAsked what the federal government can do about local homelessness, Shupe connects the issue to limited income and the gap between assistance and real costs. He references his own experience going on Social Security due to health issues and says that being on a limited income is not enough. Third place in the Lehigh ValleyWhen asked where he likes to spend time outside of work and home, Shupe points to Make Lehigh Valley! a “workshop for people who love to tinker.” Their members include engineers, woodworkers, programmers, artists, amateur radio enthusiasts, radio-controlled airplane flyers, and more.
