Our West Coast reporting continues with LA Legend Ali Macofsky as we get into SATC S2E8, “The Man, the Myth, the Viagra.”  Samantha test-drives sex with an old coot, Carrie proves the haters right and ditches Miranda for Veal Night at Big's, Steve is introduced in such a hot way, and Charlotte is sort of just there.  We catch up with Ali about how LA is sexless and the epicenter of looksmaxxing, reminisce over Evan's first kiss (on the Amtrak!) and realize how working at a dry bar is the natural next step for a babysitter.  After surviving the Trump jump-scare and note how he subscribes to the pop star theory of never repeating hairstyles, we discuss how Frank Sinatra is Big's Sabrina Carpenter, laud Miranda's lotion acting, and decide on our age ranges for lovers.  Find out where Ali is performing next at alimacofsky.com or @notalimac Get 25% Off Cowboy Colostrum with code GIRLSREWATCH at http://cowboycolostrum.com/GIRLSREWATCH.

In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Natalie Bogart, Deputy Director of the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNEPRA), which operates the Amtrak Downeaster.Bogart describes the Downeaster's reach: 12 station communities across three states, five daily roundtrips, and over 550,000 riders last year, about 30,000 of whom traveled to or from Dover. She highlights the service's diverse ridership — commuters, day-trippers, college students, and seniors and kids who ride at 50% off — plus a discount program for medical travelers.The conversation covers scheduling complexities (including why late-night Portland-area service, like return trips from Thompson's Point concerts, involves Amtrak, CSX, and NNEPRA), NNEPRA's ongoing 15-year service development plan, and priority infrastructure projects: relocating the Portland station onto the rail mainline and adding double-track sections to increase capacity and speed.Parker and Bogart also discuss Dover's partnership with NNEPRA, including grant funding for station improvements, wayfinding signage developed years ago, and the volunteer ambassador program that welcomes arriving passengers. Bogart notes that fares are affordable — $16 to $26 between Dover and Boston, as low as $8 to Old Orchard Beach — and describes onboard amenities such as business-class seating and the Downeast Cafe. She closes by encouraging listeners to visit AmtrakDowneaster.com to learn more about the Downeaster's station communities and submit feedback on future service.In This Week in Dover History, we look back at July 25, 1890, when the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that Dover's own Marilla Marks Ricker could be admitted to the state bar, the first woman in New Hampshire history to do so. A lifelong freethinker and suffragist, Ricker had already been the first woman to attempt to vote in Dover in 1870, and went on to practice law in Washington, D.C., where she was known as the "Prisoner's Friend." She ran for New Hampshire governor in 1910 and died in 1917, just before the 19th Amendment secured women's right to vote.

The World Cup final on Sunday is booked. But much focus will be on how the match highlights the changing of the guard at the pinnacle of soccer, between Argentine elder statesman Lionel Messi and Spanish prodigy Lamine Yamal. Also: today's stories, including how a resurgence of group songs and anthems at World Cup games offers a reminder on how shared music can bridge divides; how one bicentennial class of students reflect a divided yet hopeful America; and how a traveler's frantic sprint for a seat in Amtrak's Quiet Car led to a humorous breach of conduct.

Brando Babini started a company at 16 because the thing he needed didn't exist. Five years later he's running it from a train seat between Brown and Brooklyn — 1,000 players, a Nike partnership, and 30 million views he shot and edited himself. This one's about how he actually does it.Brando is 21, still finishing his degree, and building Youth 4 Youth FC into one of the largest player-led soccer organizations in the country. He spotted the gap from his own playing career — no mentor, no one who'd walked the path ahead of him — and built the thing he wished he'd had. The 2026 World Cup is on U.S. soil right now and the whole country's suddenly paying attention to soccer. Strip the sport out, though, and you've still got the more interesting story: a Gen Z operator running a real company while most people his age are still picking a major.What We Get IntoSpotting a gap from lived experience and building the company you wished existed at 16Running an eight-state operation while taking the Amtrak back to class twice a week — the "drop-in," not the dropoutTurning 30 million organic views into 4,000 player applications — and what to do when that engine slows downLanding a Nike partnership as a young, unproven founderThe mission-vs-profit tension: building real access without building a handoutGoing need-blind by design — so the best kid plays whether his family can pay or notScaling by "mega sub-regions" instead of chasing franchise growthTeaching 13-year-olds to represent themselves — agency as the actual productChapters00:00 — The drop-in: running a company between Providence and New York01:30 — Starting at 16, and the gap he was trying to close03:45 — When the pro dream faded and the founder showed up04:30 — The question that runs everything: "what do I wish existed?"21:00 — Access without a handout: the mission-vs-profit tension26:00 — Why profit incentives aren't the enemy, and going need-blind33:00 — Teaching agency: parents, players, and an internal locus of control50:00 — 30 million views, 4,000 applications, and rebuilding the funnel52:00 — The Nike street-soccer project he's directing this week58:00 — Rapid fire: the GOAT, the Prem, and a 2026 World Cup readThis first aired on SportsEpreneur.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 18, 2026. We open with a California bill moving through the legislature that would allow minors in residential treatment facilities to trigger state investigations of their own parents — and we explain why this isn't about protecting children from genuine abuse. It's about a state that has spent years operating from the assumption that parents are wrong and government is right. We walk through the mechanism — buried inside dry juvenile dependency language is a process by which a child who disagrees with their court-ordered treatment can initiate a legal review that effectively places their parents under state investigation. We connect it to a pattern the left has run for years — driving a wedge between children and the parents who are trying to save them, and then letting the state step in as the replacement parent. And we warn parents outside California that bad ideas rarely stay behind state lines. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the United States and Iran signed a Memorandum of Understanding — covering the five key pillars, with a 60-day negotiating window to reach a final deal and reconstruction funds from regional partners available if Iran follows through. Then D.C. Democrat primary winner Janice Lewis George is heading toward the general election, with President Trump already promising to take back D.C. if a socialist wins the mayor's race. And the Coast Guard intercepted a speedboat off the coast of Florida carrying 25 Chinese nationals attempting to enter the country illegally — firing on the engines to disable the vessel after repeated warnings went ignored. We note that we have never in our lifetimes heard of the U.S. government disabling boats trying to enter illegally — and call it exactly what it is: a closed border. We sit down with Dr. Peter Earle of the American Institute for Economic Research to take the actual temperature of the U.S. economy — separate from the media's doom-and-gloom narrative. Dr. Earle's assessment: the hard data still describe an expansion, but forward-looking indicators are more cautious. Consumer spending remains positive, corporate earnings are holding up, and there are no overall recessionary conditions — but elevated interest rates, housing affordability, and the national debt are real concerns. He also explains why gas prices won't drop overnight even with the Iran deal — the research shows it takes about 22 weeks for oil price reductions to fully pass through to consumers, meaning relief at the pump is more likely late summer or early fall. And he explains why Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire is less about personal wealth and more about what it will cost to turn SpaceX into the Amtrak of space travel over the next several decades. Barack and Michelle Obama appeared on Good Morning America to promote the opening of the Obama Presidential Center — and Barack said he wants visitors to walk through and think, what's possible? We take him at his word and answer the question. We also note that many of the subcontractors who built the nearly billion-dollar complex — which ran nearly $300 million over budget — have reportedly not been paid. Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to the San Francisco Giants story — where pitchers were warned by MLB after writing Bible verses on their caps during Pride Night. A San Francisco player spoke beautifully about why the rainbow holds deep biblical meaning for Christians as the sign of God's Noahic covenant — and why writing Genesis 9:12-16 on a hat is not anti-anything. It's pro-something. Teri says she supports marriage equality — and still thinks forcing players to celebrate someone else's sexuality on their uniforms is wrong, performative, and is actually pushing people away from the very acceptance the movement says it wants. We also cover the New York Knicks' White House visit — and their championship celebration at City Hall, where Mayor Mamdani delivered a 10-minute speech before anyone from the actual championship team could speak. Knicks owner James Dolan stepped to the mic and said simply — I don't need your vote. I don't need to quote you. If you're a real Knicks fan, you already know. Nobody needed a program to figure out who that was aimed at. For our Bright Spot, a new American Enterprise Institute poll on civic values finds that 82% of Americans believe in equal opportunity regardless of race, religion, or gender, 79% say everyone has the right to their religious beliefs, 72% still believe hard work can lead to prosperity, and 66% believe people can criticize the government without fear of punishment. We call this exactly what it is — evidence that the American idea is still alive in the hearts of most Americans — and note that 75% say the Declaration of Independence should be taught in high school, even though only 29% have actually read it. It's two pages, folks. We also cover a Trump-appointed federal judge who ordered ICE to release a Palestinian green card holder convicted of throwing Molotov cocktails at Israeli armed forces — a man the U.S. government has known about for 25 years. We ask the more important question — why did we let him in in the first place? And we close with Alyssa Goralnik, who published a children's vocabulary book called Weighty Words in 1985 and never made a dime. Forty years later, an author named Eli McCann posted a video about the book on social media. Within weeks it hit the top of Amazon's bestseller charts and publishers rushed a second printing — not bad for a book written 20 years before Amazon existed.

Sarah Feinberg -- former head of New York City's Transit Authority; she helmed the Federal Railroad Administration and was on Amtrak's board, and is now on Southwest Airlines' board -- on reimagining NYC's massive network of trains, planes and automobiles. All of which is in global focus with the Knicks' title and droves descending on the city for the World Cup.

Detroit's comeback is not being measured only in restored facades or reopened landmarks. It is being measured in whether the city can turn once-abandoned spaces into places where people work, learn, gather, move, and build long-term opportunity. Few projects capture that shift more clearly than Michigan Central, the former train station that stood for decades as a symbol of Detroit's decline and now anchors a growing innovation district tied to commercial development, youth programming, hospitality, and future transit connectivity. Its revival comes at a pivotal moment: after decades of population loss, Detroit recently recorded its first Census-recognized population increase since 1957, giving new urgency to the question of how the city's next chapter will be built.What does it take to transform a building once seen as a symbol of decline into a platform for Detroit's next chapter of work, learning, mobility, and community growth?On this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski sits down with Beth Kmetz-Armitage, Director of Commercial Development at Michigan Central, to discuss how the historic campus is helping reshape Detroit's future. Their conversation explores the redevelopment of Michigan Central Station, the broader commercial development strategy behind Detroit's comeback, the role of public-private collaboration, and how transit, housing, youth programming, and neighborhood investment all connect inside a larger vision for the city.Key highlights from the conversation…Michigan Central is evolving from a restored landmark into a full innovation district, with Ford offices, retail and hospitality development, a forthcoming NoMad Hotel under the Hilton banner, and youth-focused programming through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan.Beth explains how Detroit's land inventory, once seen as a burden, became a strategic asset for housing, commercial development, and neighborhood revitalization, helping the city attract developers and rebuild density.The episode highlights Detroit's next major challenge: becoming a destination city again through stronger connectivity, including multimodal transit plans at Michigan Central, Amtrak service, intercity buses, regional SMART service, and links to Ann Arbor.Beth Kmetz-Armitage is the Director of Commercial Development at Michigan Central, where she develops the organization's real estate portfolio to support mobility innovation and economic development in Detroit. She previously held senior real estate and public-private partnership roles with the City of Detroit, leading strategy for surplus commercial and industrial properties and connecting developers with public financing, entitlements, and publicly owned land for mixed-use and mixed-income housing projects. Her broader commercial real estate career spans asset management, property management, leasing, construction, contract negotiation, historic renovation, and portfolio oversight across major organizations including Broder & Sachse, Hines, and Equity Office Properties Trust.

On this Friday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid reminds his listeners ahead of Monday's Memorial Day that the federal holiday is not all about flipping burgers and chugging beers, but more about honoring the fallen warriors that have paid the ultimate price for the freedom that allows us to flip those very burgers and chug those very beers. In other news of the day, Stephen Colbert said goodbye to "The Late Show" last night in the franchise's finale after a 33-year run, President Trump is heading to Rockland County today in what will be the first trip to the area by a sitting president since 1976, and the Trump Administration and Amtrak have come up with an $8 billion plan to overhaul Penn Station in the near future.

In today's edition of The Update Journal, somehow one spring retreat in the woods, the collapse of an entire reality TV empire, and the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert all ended up sharing the same energy: exhausted people trying to survive organized chaos.We revisit Camp Mason, where the hills were steep, the cabins were legally questionable, and Mr. Charles apparently drove that bus like a man who had already accepted whatever fate awaited him at the top of the mountain. Meanwhile, after years of table-flipping, drink-throwing, and people beginning every sentence with “First of all…”, the era of Love & Hip Hop may finally be winding down — proving that even reality TV eventually runs out of people willing to fight in a restaurant parking lot for six consecutive seasons.And then there's the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. One last night at the Ed Sullivan Theater before corporate executives replace heartfelt late-night television with whatever spreadsheet-tested nonsense saves them twelve dollars and a yogurt coupon. Somewhere in Midtown, the lights dim, the cue cards fade, and an accountant whispers: “This is what innovation looks like.”In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, a sinkhole found on a LaGuardia Airport runway led to flight delays, as workers scrambled to make repairs, officials said.Madison Square Garden will not be forced to relocate under a Penn Station redesign plan approved by the Trump administration and Amtrak— with the federal government pledging $8 billion to revamp the decrepit train hub.And out in the American west in New Mexico, three people are dead and more than a dozen first responders had to be quarantined and assessed for possible exposure to an unidentified substance after being called to a suspected drug overdose at a rural home, authorities said.

Tess shares her journey of embracing authenticity and finding her unique voice across stage, television, and film. She opens up about how she found true artistic fulfillment by embracing the "kooky," quirky, and offbeat parts of herself rather than trying to constantly force her five-foot-nine frame into a traditional ingenue box. She breaks down the surreal whirlwind of her recent career milestones, from performing on The Today Show at five o'clock in the morning to hearing the news of a Tony nomination. Alan and Tess swap hilarious stories about major life updates happening in the least convenient places, including the exact moment she received a FaceTime call inviting her to Broadway while riding completely alone in an Amtrak quiet car. The conversation also shifts into creative endeavors outside the theater world, including Tess's passion for music and her upcoming solo album. She breaks down the therapeutic process of heading to Nashville to record a deeply personal breakup album, laying down tracks on the legendary microphone used for Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway. Alan and Tess bond over their shared experiences with self-diagnosed ADHD, hilariously dissecting the reality of "body doubling," "doom scrolling," and the mounting clutter of "doom piles". From a formative high school moment where a failed math test accidentally set her on a path to music school, to a lightning-fast, 60-second summary of Les Misérables, Tess delivers a wonderfully candid, smart, and funny look at a life in the arts. Tess Marshall is a versatile performer whose stage credits include a year and ten months as a swing and dance captain for the off-Broadway production of Titanique at the Daryl Roth Theatre, where she ultimately stepped into the iconic role of Celine Dion. Her screen credits include playing the recurring role of Dionne in the NBC series Ordinary Joe, as well as making her feature film debut in Beauty of Poverty, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. In addition to her extensive performance career, she also performs as a rock vocalist with the band Clyde Frog and works as an arts educator.

In this episode, we kick things off in Washington, where the U.S. House of Representatives has just unveiled the BUILD America 250 Act, a sprawling federal surface transportation reauthorization package. This massive legislation allocates $240 billion in authorized and direct funding for trucking, rail, aviation, and ports, including a historic $102 billion investment in passenger and freight rail—the largest federal rail commitment since Amtrak's creation—along with $110 billion for roads and bridges, $17 billion for port upgrades, and $25 billion for airport modernization. Debate on the bill begins Thursday, just months before the current authorization expires in September. Shifting gears to the rails, we examine a brutal rate war erupting between two Class I giants as they battle for freight customers in front of federal regulators. Union Pacific has filed a 129-page complaint with the Surface Transportation Board alleging that BNSF Railway hiked reciprocal switching charges by as much as 472 percent at locations where UP recently won or grew business from BNSF customers. UP claims BNSF canceled longstanding unit grain train switching rates and forced customers to pay nearly triple the cost under merchandise train rates, while BNSF has rejected entire unit train shipments this month, allegedly to make UP service noncompetitive and drive shippers back to BNSF. Finally, we unpack the evolving threat landscape in supply chain security as traditional cargo theft tactics give way to far more sophisticated criminal operations. While overall theft incidents declined to 574 in the first quarter of 2026, deceptive pickup fraud schemes using fake identities and forged credentials jumped 31 percent year over year, with nearly half of those fraud incidents occurring in California. Electronics remained the most frequently targeted cargo at 17 percent of all incidents, while auto and parts thefts surged 142 percent from Q4 2025, prompting warnings from security experts that organized criminal networks are heavily investing in fraud infrastructure that traditional security measures like padlocks simply cannot stop.

This week on The Running Mullet… What happens when you mix trail runners, a moving train, and a little Appalachian magic? You get the legendary Highball to Thurmond — one of the most unique races in the area. Set deep in the New River Gorge of West Virginia, runners can choose from multiple distances — from a shorter scenic 50k to rugged 50 mile run, ruck, and relay distances that wind through historic rail towns, forested trails, crushed gravel, and relentless Appalachian climbs. But no matter the distance, the mission stays the same: Beat the train. Participants race toward Thurmond while the Amtrak line rolls alongside the gorge below. Finish before the train arrives, and you've officially outrun it. Then, after the suffering is over, runners climb aboard for one of the coolest post-race traditions anywhere — riding the train back to the start with a full car of exhausted trail runners swapping stories and survival tales. This week, we're breaking down the course, the strategy, the train logistics, and why this race has become such a great event for trail runners across the region. Appalachian grit, rail-town history, and a finish line unlike anything else — this week on The Running Mullet.

In this episode, we kick things off in Washington, where the U.S. House of Representatives has just unveiled the BUILD America 250 Act, a sprawling federal surface transportation reauthorization package. This massive legislation allocates $240 billion in authorized and direct funding for trucking, rail, aviation, and ports, including a historic $102 billion investment in passenger and freight rail—the largest federal rail commitment since Amtrak's creation—along with $110 billion for roads and bridges, $17 billion for port upgrades, and $25 billion for airport modernization. Debate on the bill begins Thursday, just months before the current authorization expires in September. Shifting gears to the rails, we examine a brutal rate war erupting between two Class I giants as they battle for freight customers in front of federal regulators. Union Pacific has filed a 129-page complaint with the Surface Transportation Board alleging that BNSF Railway hiked reciprocal switching charges by as much as 472 percent at locations where UP recently won or grew business from BNSF customers. UP claims BNSF canceled longstanding unit grain train switching rates and forced customers to pay nearly triple the cost under merchandise train rates, while BNSF has rejected entire unit train shipments this month, allegedly to make UP service noncompetitive and drive shippers back to BNSF. Finally, we unpack the evolving threat landscape in supply chain security as traditional cargo theft tactics give way to far more sophisticated criminal operations. While overall theft incidents declined to 574 in the first quarter of 2026, deceptive pickup fraud schemes using fake identities and forged credentials jumped 31 percent year over year, with nearly half of those fraud incidents occurring in California. Electronics remained the most frequently targeted cargo at 17 percent of all incidents, while auto and parts thefts surged 142 percent from Q4 2025, prompting warnings from security experts that organized criminal networks are heavily investing in fraud infrastructure that traditional security measures like padlocks simply cannot stop.

In today's edition of The Update Journal, apparently I've spent most of my life attending cookouts without actually participating in them. We're talking barbecue blindness, the shocking realization that people have been eating brisket and ribs recreationally for years.Then, one piece of fried chicken and a can of Squirt turned into a full existential crisis. Because now I'm sitting here wondering what other flavors I've missed. Is there a secret underground beverage society? Have the rest of you been gatekeeping cream sodas and regional fruit drinks while I've been out here drinking the same three things since 2009?Plus, in The Last Word: we're “roughing it” at Camp Mason for the Urban Dove spring overnight retreat—which mostly means pretending sleeping in a cabin is fun while every bug in New Jersey files a formal request to enter the building. “Getting closer to nature” sounds beautiful until nature starts scratching at the screen door at 2 in the morning.So: meat confessions, soda discoveries, and camping with a carefully managed exit strategy. Because yes, we're outdoors… but we are also counting the days until we're back at home base before Memorial Day weekend.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, An Long Island Rail Road strike could strand nearly 300,000 commuters starting this weekend as five labor unions and MTA leaders are at odds over wage increases for the union workers. At the same time, an electrical fire erupted on the Amtrak tracks at Penn Station, snarling service into the major Midtown hub, officials said. LIRR service was also impacted by the fire, with delays, cancellations and skipped stops reported on multiple lines, according to the MTA's website.Big Apple retailers narrowly avoided having to shell out tens of thousands of dollars in upgrades to their roll-gown gates — as the city has temporarily paused its attempt to begin enforcing an obscure, decades-old law mandating changes to the security barriers this summer.And overseas, China's Xi Jinping warned President Trump that their two countries could clash over Taiwan if the issue is not handled properly, an unusually harsh admonition that stood in contrast to the American leader's praise for his counterpart.

In this episode, we explore the unique advantages of traveling by Amtrak for people who are blind or visually impaired from accessibility features to the overall passenger experience. We also take a closer look at the iconic California Zephyr, one of the most scenic train routes in the United States, and what makes it a standout journey for all travelers.

Travis, Darren, and Vince break down LAFC's stoppage time two-goal comeback to save a point in San Diego after heavy rotation. Son Heung-min and Denis Bouanga came in late in the match to quickly get LAFC on the scoreboard, with yet ANOTHER assist for Sonny on the year (he leads MLS with eight assists in nine games, nbd) and Hollingshead sealed the tie in stoppage time. But ALSOooo our buildup sucked, our midfield was not great, and we struggled to keep possession, which is worrisome going into the FAR more important leg 2 match vs. Toluca in the CONCACAF Champions Cup on Wednesday in mountain-high altitude.

Three assassination attempts in two years. The latest assassin took an Amtrak train into Washington D.C. carrying a rifle, a handgun, and multiple knives. He assembled his weapon in a hotel stairwell — one floor above the ballroom where President Donald Trump was speaking. His own manifesto admitted what investigators won't say out loud: the security was "shockingly lax." So the question some are now asking is uncomfortable. Was he allowed to get that close? In this episode, Lance Wallnau wears the very Trump-Vance MAGA jacket Charlie Kirk ordered just before he was killed — and walks through the strange details surrounding the third attempt on Donald Trump's life. The eerie parallel to Lincoln's assassination at Ford's Theater. The unguarded stairwell. The pattern that Jeff Childers calls a "design flaw." And the question almost no one in the mainstream media is willing to ask: Why does this keep happening — and why is it always so close? In this episode: - The Hilton stairwell detail that mirrors Ford's Theater 1865 - What the assassin Cole wrote in his own manifesto about the security - The Rutgers survey on young Democrats and political violence (the number is alarming) - Jimmy Kimmel's disturbing Melania Trump "widow" joke and the media's role in   normalizing this rhetoric - Why educated people may be MORE vulnerable to ideological capture than anyone else - The biblical "Judas pattern" that explains modern political assassins - Why Lance believes the attack happening at a media banquet — not a Trump rally —   may have been a wake-up call the left needed Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or just trying to make sense of where America is heading — this is one of the most important conversations of the year.

A man walked into the Washington Hilton with guns, a shotgun, and knives. A Secret Service agent got shot. Trump said the system worked. It did not. In this episode:

After more than three years on the legislative backburner, the Illinois House approved a major economic development bill that would clear the path for the Chicago Bears to build a new domed stadium in Arlington Heights. The bill includes broader economic development provisions, especially for Chicago and Springfield. Blighted or underused rail yards in Chicago would be eligible for their own type of megaproject aimed at redeveloping and revitalizing the yards. To be eligible, the projects must bring in $40 billion in new tax revenue over at least 40 years and increase transit ridership by 10,000 riders on average each day. Such legislation could open the door to massive new projects being considered in the city such as a new White Sox stadium being floated for an Amtrak yard along the Chicago River just south of the Loop and the One Central project near McCormick Place.

CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

Join host Walter Sterling as he sits down with Marine Corps combat veteran and intelligence expert Edward Jones to unpack the shocking, yet surprisingly absurd, security breach at the recent Washington Correspondents' Dinner. They dissect how an armed would-be assassin casually commuted via an Amtrak train to the event, exploiting a shockingly lax ticketing system where unverified JPEG images were simply swapped for nameless paper tickets. Amidst the serious security analysis, Sterling and Jones share hilarious behind-the-scenes observations from the chaos—including elite guests refusing to abandon their free salads and a Ukrainian ambassador famously swiping a bottle of champagne on her way out. To wrap up, Jones delivers a rapid-fire intelligence update on the current geopolitical standstill in Iran. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mark Walters joins to respond to ongoing fallout from the recent shooting coverage and the broader political reaction, pushing back hard on calls for new gun restrictions and arguing that existing laws in states like California and cities like Washington, D.C. are already among the strictest in the country. He and the host debate whether additional regulations would have changed the outcome, while Walters criticizes political rhetoric on the left and claims it contributes to a climate of escalating hostility. The discussion expands into security procedures beyond firearms policy, including Amtrak travel protocols, airport screening differences, and whether gaps in hotel and event security contributed to how the suspect was able to act. Walters also raises broader concerns about political polarization, arguing the divide between ideologies has hardened to the point where compromise is increasingly unlikely, framing the situation as a long-term cultural and political fracture rather than a short-term debate over policy.

This week, we hear from G4, aka Doctor G4, Notch 11, aka John Gardiner IV. G4 is a long-time friend of the podcast and a valued member of the AML Nation. In this sprawling conversation, we hear about G4's travel across nearly the entire Amtrak system from coast to coast to explore and photograph Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs). We discuss G4 biking across commuter rail systems, capturing thousands of photographs to support a future article for Railroad Model Craftsman. There's also discussion about European and American DMU prototype equipment, currently available as scale models from Europe, and all the while, G4 does his best to absolutely annoy the Evil Overlord. So sit back, with a big bowl of shredded light rail schedules, slow down your podcast player's speed to 0.75x, and buckle up for a fun conversation.   To learn more about G4, DMUs, or their podcast, "Proto-Future", visit their website: https://www.bgtmrring.org/

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Wendell Graham. A stroke survivor, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and founder of Slight Edge Consulting, joins Rushion McDonald to share a deeply personal and powerful story of survival, resilience, and purpose-driven entrepreneurship. Graham recounts two life-altering experiences: Surviving a fatal Amtrak train crash in which the person who took his place died, causing years of survivor’s remorse. Suffering an anaphylactic shock and stroke in 2024, which temporarily robbed him of speech, memory, mobility, and independence. Rather than allowing these moments to define him negatively, Graham reframed them as assignments—calling him to live intentionally, help others overcome “the hump,” and use his lived experience as intellectual property to serve, coach, and motivate people through adversity, business challenges, fear, and self-doubt. The interview blends emotional storytelling with practical insights into personal growth, sales, mindset, recovery, faith, and entrepreneurship. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: Inspire listeners to persevere through trauma, loss, and setbacks. Demonstrate how adversity can become purpose and value, not limitation. Show how lived experience translates into income and impact, especially for entrepreneurs. Encourage patience during recovery, whether from health issues, career loss, or personal failure. Promote Slight Edge Consulting as a resource for individuals stuck at the “15%” holding them back. Key Takeaways 1. Survival Creates Responsibility After narrowly avoiding the Amtrak crash that killed 47 people, Graham vowed not to waste his life and to live with intention. Takeaway: Survival is not luck—it’s an assignment. 2. Trauma Is Real, but It Can Be Transformed Graham openly discusses survivor’s remorse, PTSD, fear, discouragement, and self-doubt—especially after his stroke. Takeaway: Healing is messy, slow, and honest—but possible. 3. Recovery Requires Patience With Yourself Following his stroke, Graham had to relearn how to speak, walk, and think clearly. Progress came through patience, humility, and repetition. Takeaway: Every recovery has its own timeline—don’t rush the process. 4. Money Is a Byproduct of Action and Value Graham explains that income flows from prior action, knowledge, and intellectual property—not the other way around. Takeaway: Focus on value first; money follows. 5. Most People Already Have 85% of What They Need Through Slight Edge Consulting, Graham helps clients identify and fix the missing 15%—mindset, confidence, access, skills, or strategy. Takeaway: You’re closer to success than you think. 6. Sales Is the Transfer of Feeling Sales isn’t pressure or manipulation—it’s enthusiasm, belief, and confidence communicated clearly. Takeaway: If you don’t believe in what you’re selling, no one else will. 7. Fear Grows When You Stand Still Standing at the “hump” makes it feel larger. Movement shrinks fear. Takeaway: Action reduces intimidation. 8. Give Yourself Permission to Be Great Too many people wait for validation, approval, or perfect timing that never comes. Takeaway: The cavalry is not coming—now is your time. Notable Quotes On surviving tragedy: “I made a vow that I was not going to be irresponsible with the time that I have left.” On the stroke and recovery: “Physically, it was like being locked inside of your body.” On honesty in healing: “We tell the success story, but what about the middle?” On patience: “We have to be patient with ourselves in any recovery process.” On mindset and entrepreneurship: “Money is only the byproduct of something.” On personal growth: “Most people have 85% of what they need—it’s the 15% that’s holding them back.” On sales: “Selling is nothing more than transferring feeling.” On fear and permission: “Give yourself permission to be great. The cavalry is not coming.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this vulnerable and raw episode of The Partnership Podcast, Trey shares his experience with a recent panic attack . While traveling home from New York City, Trey experienced a sudden, debilitating panic attack in the middle of a crowded Amtrak station.Up until recently, Trey had only ever experienced a panic attack once in his life.
