Mother's Day is a holiday not easily ignored. Though it is not the most popular holiday, it is one of the most commercially successful, with the ubiquitous marketing of flowers, cards, restaurants and jewelry. But for the millions of Americans who are motherless, it's a sharp reminder of their loss. What is the meaning of Mother's Day for those who no longer have mothers? And how can they honor memories of their mothers as they manage their grief?RSVP to our FREE event at Molly's Bookstore in Allston with author Tara Menon! https://bit.ly/utrtaramenon

With the Strait of Hormuz disruption continuing to drive fossil-fuel costs higher, businesses big and small have been left looking for ways to cut energy costs. But, in contrast to energy crises of the past, today's clean energy technology is mature, cost competitive, and ready to fill the gap. This week on the pod, we speak to James Allston of Orkestra Energy for a view on how European businesses are responding to sustained high electricity prices and growing volatility. Rather than reacting to headlines, he explains how structural forces – from rising network charges to falling battery costs – are accelerating the business case for solar and storage. We unpack how local market dynamics, in leading commercial and industrial (C&)I marketplaces such as the United Kingdom and Germany, are shaping very different “value stacks” for batteries, including managing peak demand, navigating negative pricing, and optimizing behind-the-meter savings. We also explore the next frontier for commercial energy users: EV fleets with integrated on-site solar and storage. As grid capacity tightens and electrification accelerates, this convergence will likely shape how businesses think about both energy costs and transportation. Then, we shift from deployment to innovation with renowned solar researcher Professor Marko Topič from the University of Ljubljana, who takes us inside one of the most promising areas of solar research: perovskite solar cells. With record-breaking efficiencies already achieved, industry focus has turned to the next challenge for the emerging solar technology: durability. We dive into the perovskite degradation mechanisms, surprising “self-healing” behaviors, and the painstaking work required to understand, and ultimately control, these processes in real-world conditions. Professor Topič discusses indoor perovskite-powered IoT devices and even space applications, providing a glimpse into an exciting future – but one that will only be realized if researchers can bridge the gap between lab performance and long-term reliability. ✉️ Questions or feedback?

“As American as apple pie” — it's a phrase that's come to be known as something quintessentially American, symbolic of tradition and patriotism. The irony is that apples are not actually native to America at all! Though they've become a symbol of the United States, apples originate far from North America. We trace Apple's tasty history from Asia to America and westward as part of our celebration of the country's 250th anniversary.RSVP to our FREE event at Molly's Bookstore in Allston with author Tara Menon! https://bit.ly/utrtaramenon

This week, Alyssa and Nadia are joined by their first post-grad guest, Charvi Dot — a recent Northeastern graduate and longtime friend. As Nadia approaches graduation, the episode kicks off a new series focused on what life actually looks like after college.Charvi shares her unconventional gap year: completing a 200-hour yoga training in Rishikesh, working as a barista in Allston, traveling to visit friends, and exploring new interests like pottery — all before heading to Northwestern for PT school. She opens up about the logistics behind it (saving during college, budgeting, and working multiple jobs) and the mindset shift that came with letting go of a rigid plan.The conversation dives into how stepping off the “expected path” helped her discover what she truly enjoys — and how experiences outside your field can be just as valuable as those within it. From yoga as a practice of presence to the power of community in unexpected places, Charvi reflects on how her gap year reshaped her perspective on career and life.They wrap with a fun lightning round, where Charvi describes her college years as: caterpillar → puppy → cat → butterfly — and she's still flying.TakeawaysA gap year doesn't have to be productive in the traditional sense — sometimes the whole point is to find out what you actually enjoySaving money in college, even incrementally, can buy you real freedom right after graduationIndependence isn't just financial — it's a mindset that shapes every decision you make along the wayYoga is far more than a fitness class; at its core, it's a practice of presence and a path toward meditationThe path to a career goal doesn't have to be straight — sidetracks often teach you more than the main roadWorking a job outside your field can be one of the most clarifying experiences of your early twentiesThe pressure to be "a competitive applicant" can crowd out the experiences that actually make you a fuller personCommunity is the through line — at college, at a café, in a yoga ashram, wherever you landReturning to something on your own terms (a city, a practice, a passion) completely changes your relationship to itThe people you meet in unexpected places — a café, a studio, a training — are often the ones who shift your whole worldviewChapters0:10–0:33 – Introduction: What's Been on Their Feeds0:33–1:48 – Olympics Coverage: Hockey and the US Team's Gold1:48–3:30 – The Shift in Figure Skating: A New Era of Style and Personality3:30–5:27 – Alyssa Liu's Story: Retiring at 16 and Coming Back on Her Own Terms5:27–7:04 – Alyssa's Talk on Dancer Health and Identity in Young Athletes7:04–9:10 – Nadia on Gymnastics as Her Whole World Growing Up9:10–11:35 – Resentment, Community, and the Memories That Still Feel Fresh11:35–13:15 – The Silver Lining of Hard Times: Bonding Over the Difficult Stuff13:15–15:32 – The Physical and Mental Weight of Training as a Kid15:32–18:05 – Nadia on Skill Level, Finding the Fun, and Sticking Through It18:05–20:11 – Returning to Gymnastics in College: The Non-Competitive Form That Didn't Stick20:11–22:45 – Lucy's Story and a Mom's Quiet Relief22:45–25:10 – Eileen Gu, the Mind, and Imagining Your 8-Year-Old Self25:10–27:22 – Looking Forward, Being Whimsical, and Closing Thoughts650.701.7686 (o)650.332.2739 (f)510.673.8712 (m)Sports & Dance Rehab|Pilates| Group ClassesOn the Move Physical Therapy501-D Old County Rd.Belmont, CA 94002web - http://www.onthemovephysio.comemail - alyssa@onthemovephysio.comIG - https://www.instagram.com/onthemovephysio

In the wake of last week's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame episode, Kevin and the Mayor check out documentaries about two of the nominees: Luther Vandross and Jeff Buckley. (Kevin also stumbled upon a 1985 movie starring Tatum O'Neal and Irene Cara that we suspect has never been seen by anyone else ever.) And we brave the mean streets of Allston, Massachusetts (featuring poorly shoveled sidewalks and drunk college kids) to see a couple of wonderful bands: Foxy Shazam (those glam rock maniacs responsible for the Peacemaker opening theme song) and Descartes a Kant (a Mexican quartet with Devo-style costumes and a super-cool retro-futuristic concept album). Plus: The Mayor is a guest on a couple of other podcasts (The Doctor's Beard and The 42cast) to discuss Doctor Who, Witchblade, and perhaps other nerd stuff. The Mayor on The 42cast!

New dining landmarks blend cultural heritage with innovation by reimagining historical spaces and fusing diverse culinary traditions with modern business and competitive formats.A primary example of this blend is found in San Antonio at Esencia, a restaurant led by Chef Leo Davila. This venue is characterized as a "cultural fusion masterpiece" that operates within the historic St. Anthony Hotel. By placing a modern fusion concept within a landmark hotel, the establishment honors the heritage of its location while pushing the boundaries of contemporary cuisine.Other landmarks, such as The Atlas in Boston's Allston neighborhood, blend cultural heritage with innovation by creating spaces tailored to specific community identities, specifically targeting "intellectuals and foodies". This approach integrates the intellectual culture of the area with a modern gastronomic landmark, turning a dining space into a cultural hub.The sources also highlight how innovation is applied to the very nature of culinary engagement through "Food Sport". The World Food Championships represent an innovative evolution of culinary heritage, transforming traditional cooking into a high-stakes competitive event that brings global attention to host cities like Indianapolis.Furthermore, the industry's drive toward innovation is often led by influential figures who blend their cultural backgrounds with new industry standards. For instance, Roy Choi, a pioneer in culinary fusion, continues to influence the landmark dining scene by headlining major industry events like the Bar & Restaurant Expo, where the focus is on the anniversary of industry evolution and the future of food and beverage experiences.While the sources mention Roy Choi's role as a headliner at the Bar & Restaurant Expo, I am drawing on my own knowledge—which you may want to independently verify—to note that Choi is widely recognized for innovating the modern food truck movement by blending Korean and Mexican cultural heritage, a concept that has paved the way for many of the "fusion masterpieces" mentioned in the sources.

Join Katie and Liz on this week's episode of True Crime New England as they discuss the case that inspired the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance, an acknowledgement of the unsolved murder of Rita Hester. On November 28th, 1998, 34-year-old trans woman Rita Hester was found stabbed to death in her Allston, Massachusetts apartment. What followed was local media and law enforcement misgendering and deadnaming her, putting a harsh mark on trying to raise awareness of a woman who was so brutally slain. Despite the awareness and advocacy from her loved ones, Rita's heinous murder remains unsolved.Anyone with any information on the murder of Rita Hester is asked to please call the Boston Police Department through their anonymous tip line at 1-800-494-8477 or by texting “TIP” to CRIME (27463).

Hanny is no stranger to the trail running and outdoor adventure communities in Australia.In 2006, Hanny won the Junior and Senior World Orienteering titles. In doing so, she became the first non-European to win an Orienteering World Championship and the first person, male or female, to hold both the Senior and Junior title in the same year.In the years since, she's achieved a long list of victories, records and placings in the worlds of mountain and trail running, ultramarathon running and sky running.She's also the co-founder of my favourite retail and online store - Find Your Feet - based in Tasmania with her husband Graham.And on top of all that, she's a performance coach and the host of an incredible podcast also called ‘Find Your Feet.We cover all of that, and more, in our first conversation for the podcast.

Hanny Allston is an insightful, soulful woman with a passion for running, the outdoors and sharing that passion with as many people as possible.Back in 2006, Hanny became the first non-European to win a World Orienteering title. And in fact, she won two - a Junior and Senior world title in the same year (and became the first person, male or female to do so).These days, Hanny is a running coach, the host of the Find Your Feet podcast and owns a retail and online store for trail runners and outdoor adventurers with her partner Graham called Find Your Feet.In this conversation, we discuss the Imposter Complex, what success means to Hanny, why running is play, the role of a coach and why it's important for women to draw confidence from their sense of self, not just from their physical strength.

John and Joanna Lin have lived in Allston since their parents moved there in 2015, and wanted a way to chronicle the gritty, artsy neighborhood they call home. They're calling the project "Allstonia."WBZ's Chaiel Schaffel reports:

Sue's husband Tom was on the show this morning sharing the news to Sue that now all of their air conditioners have to come with them for their daughters move on Allston Christmas.

Sue is moving her daughter Katie (and her boyfriend) into a new apartment .... when's the MOVE IN DATE, you ask? September 1st.... AKA "Allston Christmas." It's when students and renters move in/out of their apartments and often leave behind furniture/items on the curb in a "free-for-all."

Kia ora e te whānau. This week, Ali Pottinger speaks with Hanny Allston for a special addition to the Aidstation Podcast. Hanny is a returning champion to DCR  who was with us for episode 121, all the way back in December 2020. Back then we said Hanny is based in Tasmania and is a high performance coach, owner of Find Your Feet Outdoors, former junior and senior world champion orienteer - elite trail runner and now the author of Finding My Feet, Hanny's memoir which delves into a lot of topics including body image, mental health, and bullying, which we don't often talk about in the trail running space, but we definitely should. This conversation focuses on the multitude of identities we have in our lives, and how we can be pigeon-holed into specific ones, and they, in turn, can define what people perceive of us, but not the whole us.  Heads up. This conversation deals with topics around perinatal mental health. Ali and Hanny are powerful women, and this is a worthwhile listen for anyone with a running Mum in their lives, or indeed, any Mum in their lives. That means most of us.
