Abraham is Paul's test case. Was he justified by works? No. Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness. Paul makes sure you notice the timeline: the faith came before circumcision, not after. Circumcision was a seal of a righteousness Abraham already had by faith. That matters because it means the promise belongs to everyone who shares Abraham's faith, Jew and Gentile alike. God justifies the ungodly.   The Rev. Joshua Heimbuck, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Ashland, OR, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Romans 4:1–25.  To learn more about Grace Lutheran, visit gracelutheranashland.org. Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel impossible? Why do feelings of guilt follow us even when we've been forgiven? These aren't new questions. St. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans for a church he had never visited, and yet he addressed the struggles every Christian knows firsthand: the weight of the law, the persistence of sin, the sufficiency of what God has done in Christ. Romans covers enormous ground. Paul moves from the universal problem of sin through justification by faith, the role of baptism, the war between flesh and spirit, God's faithfulness to Israel, and the shape of life together in the body of Christ. There's a reason the Reformation was born in this letter. Join us on Thy Strong Word as we open up Romans, weekdays at 11am or on-demand anytime, at KFUO.org.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

All of you have seen Coil Construction signs throughout Columbia, but few of you have probably noticed the COR Development signs near them. COR Development is a three-year-old company that is involved in numerous projects in Columbia/Boone County, including Logboat Brewing's planned taproom at Nifong and State Farm Parkway, ABK Biomedical in Ashland and the former OTSCON facility on North Rangeline in Columbia. COR Development member Randy Coil, who founded Coil Construction, and managing member Nicholas Orscheln joined host Fred Parry in-studio for the hour Saturday morning on 939 the Eagle's "CEO Roundtable":

Ohio's 7th Congressional District is back on every Democratic flip list in the country, and on this episode of Purple Political Breakdown Ohio Edition, Radell Lewis sits down with two-time OH-7 Democratic congressional candidate Matt Diemer to break down why. Matt has run this district twice, in 2022 and 2024, and he knows exactly what it takes (and what it costs) to fight for a seat the national party has long written off. We dig into the new Democratic nominee Brian Poindexter, the messy reality of incumbent Max Miller's divorce and the domestic violence allegations now hanging over his reelection, the union method that worked for organized labor before the Democratic Party walked away from it, and why R+11 might really be purple plus eleven in 2026. We also break down the 2026 Ohio primary night that just shocked half the state: Allison Russo's commanding 68-32 win over Bryan Hambley in the Secretary of State Democratic primary, the Attorney General Democratic primary surprise, Vivek Ramaswamy versus Dr. Amy Acton in the governor race, Sherrod Brown's comeback campaign against Jon Husted in a Senate seat now tangled in the FirstEnergy bribery trial fallout, and what Maine's Graham Platner versus Janet Mills standoff tells us about how the national Democratic Party is picking its 2026 candidates. Plus the real conversation: vibes versus policy, why primaries make better candidates and better voters, and what an authentic working-class Ohio Democrat actually sounds like. If you live in OH-7 (Ashland, Medina, Wooster, exurban Cleveland, plus parts of Cuyahoga and Wayne), this is the breakdown of your race. If you don't, it's the case study for every flippable R+10-to-R+15 district in the country. Political solutions without political bias.

Missouri's attorney general says illegal gaming has formed nuisance centers across Missouri. Attorney General Catherine Hanaway spoke at Tuesday's press conference in Jefferson City, where she announced that her office, Missouri state troopers and local law enforcement had carried out simultaneous seizures in four counties, including Boone.

OR Unplugged” is a coalition created by parents in Portland to support healthy digital environments for children. The group provides resources to parents and families like curriculums for digital wellness, suggestions for alternative devices to smartphones, and community events with “unplugged” activities. The group also works as a thread to unite several smaller, local groups of parents across Oregon that are like-minded about creating phone-free environments for their children. Currently, these groups exist around Central Oregon, Hood River, Ashland, Salem and the Portland-Metro area.   One of these groups, based in Sherwood, was founded by Daniel Golder, a father who wanted to create a screen-free upbringing for his children. He calls the local group “Analog Alpha,” because of the group’s goal of helping Generation Alpha being “adept at technology without being dominated by it.”   Kathy Masarie is the founder of OR Unplugged — she’s a retired pediatrician who pivoted to this advocacy work after two decades in healthcare. We’ll hear from Masarie and Golder about their work. 

#CouplesTherapy The One with the Moving Debate

Ashland Thomas is a filmmaker based in Chicago, IL!

Host Radell Lewis sits down with Laura, candidate for Ohio's 7th Congressional District, to break down one of the most flippable Republican seats heading into 2026. Once a R+15 district, OH-7 is now R+5 after redistricting, and incumbent Max Miller squeaked by at 51 percent even in a friendlier map. With recent child abuse allegations surfacing against Miller and a brand new county (Ashland) full of farmers no one has bothered to talk to, this race has every ingredient for a flip. Laura brings 23 years of federal public service to the conversation, including work at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights in Cleveland (an office that no longer exists thanks to this administration). Growing up between Cleveland and rural Athens County, she served patients, families, children, workers, veterans, and communities across seven federal agencies before being purged by DOGE last year. She has shown up in Northeast Ohio for years through boards, commissions, task forces, and community work. She is not running because politics is a career move. She is running because too many people in this district are being priced out, pushed aside, and told to expect less. In this conversation we cover: the unconstitutional war in Iran and why ending it lowers prices, Medicare for All as a today-not-tomorrow policy, the fifteen dollar minimum wage fight, why corporate capture of farmland and homes is the real threat, the Mamdani playbook for transparent representation, the loss of plausible deniability when this administration finds money for Argentina and Iran but not for working families, the dangers of party hypocrisy and the politics of exclusion, a humanist take on faith communities and the loneliness epidemic, and an honest assessment of Gaza, Israel, and the case for a two-state solution rooted in diplomacy rather than blank-check military aid. This is local politics done right: nuanced, honest, and built around results for actual constituents. Whether you lean left, right, or somewhere in the middle, this episode is for anyone who believes that the person we send to Congress should have the spine, the ethics, and the experience to challenge corruption on both sides of the aisle.

There is something in this word from Isaac the Syrian that unsettles us a little. Because it speaks of a beauty that is not crafted, not projected, not explained. A beauty that simply… shines. He does not describe a monk as someone who teaches, persuades, or convinces. He speaks of a life so permeated by grace that even the enemies of truth, simply by looking, are pierced. Not by argument. Not by brilliance. But by something that cannot be imitated. The beauty of a life in Christ. And this is where the word becomes very personal. Because what he is describing is not first a role. It is not even limited to the monastic state in an external sense. It is the inner life that has begun to be born within a person when grace is no longer treated as an idea, but as something living… something fragile… something holy. Something that must be protected. There is a tendency in us to think of holiness as something we build. Virtue as something we accumulate. A kind of visible coherence. But Isaac speaks of something else entirely. He speaks of a life that has become transparent. Where nothing blocks the light. Where the heart has been so simplified, so purified, so stripped of its constant grasping, that what is within begins to radiate without effort. And yet, the way he describes this is striking. Silence. Watchfulness. Non-possession. Guarding the senses. Cutting off contention. Brevity of speech. Forgetfulness of wrongs. At first glance, it can feel severe. Even excessive. But it is not severity. It is protection. Because something has been born. And it is easily lost. Grace does not impose itself. It does not force its way to the surface of our lives. It is given quietly. Almost secretly. It begins like a small flame in the heart. And everything Isaac names is not meant to produce that flame. It is meant to guard it. To keep it from being extinguished by the winds that constantly move through us—distraction, judgment, curiosity, the need to be seen, the need to speak, the need to defend ourselves, the subtle violence of opinion, the constant turning outward. This is why he speaks of watchfulness over the eyes. Because what we allow in, shapes what remains within. This is why he speaks of brevity in speech. Because words, when unguarded, scatter the heart. This is why he speaks of cutting off contention. Because even when we are right, we can lose what is infinitely more precious than being right. There is something in us that resists this. It feels like diminishment. Like becoming smaller. Less engaged. Less visible. Less… alive. But the opposite is true. What he describes is the birth of a life that is no longer dependent on being seen, affirmed, or justified. A life that has begun to live from another source. And this is the mystery. The more this life is hidden, the more it becomes luminous. The more it is protected, the more it becomes a refuge. The more it is guarded in silence, the more it begins to speak—without words—to the world. This is why he can say that the monk becomes a place others run to. Not because he is accessible. But because he is real. Because there is something in him that has not been compromised. Something that has not been traded away. Something that has been kept. And this is where the word becomes a question. Very quietly. Very honestly. What in your life have you not protected? What has been given to you… that you have allowed to be scattered? What has been born in moments of prayer, of stillness, of suffering, of grace… that was real… that was alive… and yet was lost because it was not guarded? Not out of malice. But out of forgetfulness. The Fathers are not calling us to severity. They are calling us to reverence. Toward what God Himself has begun within us. Because the tragedy is not that we are weak. The tragedy is that we do not recognize what has been given. And so we treat lightly what is holy. The monk, in Isaac's vision, is simply the one who refuses to do that. Who begins—slowly, imperfectly—to live as though what has been planted in the heart is more precious than anything else. More precious than being understood. More precious than being right. More precious than being known. And in doing so, something begins to happen. The life of Christ is no longer something he believes in. It becomes something that can be seen. Not dramatically. Not visibly in the way the world measures things. But quietly. Like light through a window. And others… even without knowing why… begin to feel it. This is the beauty Isaac speaks of. Not an aesthetic. Not a perfection. But a life so carefully guarded, so gently protected, that it remains alive. And because it remains alive… it becomes light. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:11:10 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Homily 11 page 196 00:35:17 Dan: It's interesting, the thought of silence and interior monasticism. I took my oldest son to the NFL draft, and while walking downtown there were some street preachers with a microphone. Nobody paid any attention, nobody even made fun of them. Literally nobody cared. Real life examples seem to prove that striving to allow one's life to be transformed by grace is the only witness the world will even take notice of - especially in a world where the currency of words has been hyperinflated and devalued by social media, the 24/7 news cycle, and so on. 00:36:09 Nypaver Clan: Reacted to "It's interesting, th..." with

In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas is joined by Heather Teysko — host of the Renaissance English History Podcast, founder of TudorCon, and one of the true pioneers of independent history podcasting. Heather started her podcast back in 2009 on a Labor Day weekend whim, with a cheap microphone and no idea how to edit audio, and has since built it into one of the longest-continuously-running independent history podcasts in the world, alongside a book community, online summits, a Tudor planner, and TudorCon — the world's first Tudor history convention, now in its seventh year. Jonathan and Heather swap stories about falling in love with Britain, building history audiences online, resisting the shiny lure of algorithm-chasing, and why genuine passion is the only thing that makes any of this work. They also dig into TudorCon 2026 — taking place October 23rd–25th at the extraordinary Agecroft Hall in Richmond, Virginia, a genuine 15th-century English manor house that was disassembled and shipped to America piece by piece — where Anglotopia is proud to be a sponsor.

Links Renaissance English History Podcast — englandcast.com TudorCon 2026 (October 23–25, Richmond VA) — tudorcon.englandcast.com Agecroft Hall, Richmond Virginia — agecrofthall.org Heather's book — The Tudor Fan Guide (Countryman Press/WW Norton, coming Summer 2027) Churchill Conference 2026 Philadelphia Friends of Anglotopia Takeaways Heather Teysko launched the Renaissance English History Podcast in 2009 — the only Tudor history podcast in existence at the time — and very nearly canceled it in 2013 when she discovered it was getting 40,000 downloads a month without her having posted a new episode in nearly a year. The spark for Heather's Tudor obsession was singing William Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus in a high school choir and realising that Byrd was writing secret Catholic music in Latin while serving Elizabeth I's Protestant court — a teenage existential crisis that never really ended. TudorCon, which began as an online summit and went in-person in 2019, is now expanding significantly for 2026 — moving from a single-track event at Agecroft Hall to a multi-track conference with five classrooms and a reception hall, thanks to a new partnership with Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. Agecroft Hall is a genuine 15th-century Lancashire manor house that was purchased, disassembled stone by stone, and shipped to Richmond, Virginia in the 1920s by a wealthy tobacco entrepreneur who wanted to live in an authentic English manor — including the original medieval glass, which had to be transported separately by road to avoid cracking. TudorCon is deliberately designed to sit between an academic conference and a Renaissance fair — costume-friendly, open to non-academics, and built around the idea that passionate enthusiasts with deep knowledge of a specific corner of Tudor history have just as much to contribute as credentialed scholars. TudorCon From Home is a full live-streamed experience with its own host, dedicated talks, special events, and a real community feel — the online attendees even took a group screenshot last year to include in the official TudorCon group photo. Heather lived in England for two years in her mid-20s on a BUNAC visa, spending weekends picking random train destinations and exploring — including accidentally attending the Durham Miners' Parade without knowing what it was. After nearly 16 years treating her Tudor work as a hobby, Heather made a deliberate mental shift 18 months ago to treat it as a business — and has since signed a book deal with Countryman Press (an imprint of WW Norton) for The Tudor Fan Guide, due out in summer 2027. Both Heather and Jonathan agree that chasing algorithms and platform trends is a dead end — the only sustainable strategy is making content you're genuinely passionate about and trusting that your specific audience will find you. Heather is currently deep in a rabbit hole on medieval female mystics — including Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, and Elizabeth Barton (the Maid of Kent), the only woman in recorded history to have her head displayed on London Bridge. ⠀ Soundbites "William Byrd was writing Catholic music in Latin about transubstantiation while he was writing Protestant theological services for Elizabeth I. And something about that really spoke to the teenager in me — nobody understands my deep dark soul." — Heather on the moment that sparked a lifelong obsession. "I logged in and I looked at my statistics. And this thing was getting like 40,000 downloads a month. And I was like, what the heck? I guess I'll keep this live." — Heather on almost cancelling the podcast in 2013. "I had a young person's rail card. Every weekend I would show up at a random train station, look at where the trains were headed, and pick a place that sounded interesting. I wound up in Durham Cathedral for the miners' parade without knowing what a miners' parade was." — Heather on her two years living in England. "I wanted to build something that was a mix of an academic conference with the fun of a Renaissance fair — where you could wear costumes, but you're actually focused on the history. And I think it's pretty cool." — Heather on the founding vision of TudorCon. "Tudor nerds tend to be islands of nerdiness surrounded by people who roll their eyes when we want to talk about transubstantiation. Just having a space for all these people to be together in real time was really awesome." — Heather on why the community side of TudorCon matters more than the talks. "It's the friendliest place in the world. People are always nervous about coming if they don't know anybody. Absolutely, you can come by yourself — because it's just the nicest group of people around." — Heather on what first-time TudorCon attendees always say. "I could listen to somebody read train schedules if they were enthusiastic about it and loved it. That genuine passion for something — it's not something you see every day. When you see people who really have it, it's infectious." — Heather on what makes content communities work. "She was starting from nothing — she had nothing. And she was paying me and treating it like a business. And I had this realization: I have way more reach than she does, and I keep treating my stuff like a hobby. So it's going to always stay that way." — Heather on the moment she decided to take her own business seriously. "I used to feel guilty working on my podcast because I was like, I'm just doing my Tudor stuff. But now I'm like, actually, this is a business. Mom's going to work now. Mom needs to not be disturbed because mom is working." — Heather on the mental shift that changed everything. "There's a community dedicated to roundabouts in Wales. There are 8 billion people in the world — surely a couple thousand of them share what you're passionate about. The internet gives you the tools to bring them together." — Heather on why niche communities always find their audience. ⠀ Chapters 00:00 Introduction — Jonathan introduces Heather Teysko and TudorCon, and announces Anglotopia as a 2026 sponsor 02:17 How Tudor History Started — William Byrd, high school choir, and a teenage existential crisis about transubstantiation 04:29 Moving to England at 24 — BUNAC visas, headhunting firms, Barnet, and random train adventures 07:19 Starting the Podcast in 2009 — A Labor Day whim, a cheap microphone, and no idea how to edit 09:38 The Early Podcasting Landscape — Why nobody treated it as a business, and how the show evolved 11:00 Almost Cancelling Everything — 40,000 monthly downloads, a baby, and a very close call 12:27 Moving to Spain and Finding a Business Model — Throwing things at the wall, a failed Tudor radio network, and a slow evolution 13:44 The Online Summit That Led to TudorCon — The Facebook group, the debates, and realising community was the magic sauce 15:02 TudorCon's History — From first in-person 2019 to pandemic pivot to Richmond expansion 15:52 TudorCon 2026 — Multi-track expansion, Randolph-Macon College partnership, and why Jonathan is finally going to Agecroft 16:00 What Is Agecroft Hall? — A real 15th-century Lancashire manor house shipped to Virginia stone by stone 18:37 The TudorCon 2026 Speaker Lineup — Nathan Amin as keynote, John Dee's experiments, everyday Tudor life, and Virginia's local Tudor connections 21:21 What Surprises First-Time Attendees — The friendliness, the inclusivity, and the magic of being around your people 23:05 TudorCon From Home — The live stream, Heather's husband as host, and the group photo story 24:43 A Discount Code for Anglotopia Listeners — Details in the show notes 25:09 The Churchill Conference Comparison — Jonathan's experience and the Philadelphia America 250 connection 26:41 Building a History Community — What Heather has learned about authenticity, passion, and why shiny marketing objects always fail 29:51 On Expanding Too Far — Why Francotopia and New Zealandopia were bad ideas, and why passion can't be replicated 30:31 The New Zealand Girls' Trip — Nine months old, postpartum depression, and one of the worst decisions of Heather's life 31:52 Travelling with Infants — Jonathan's Diamond Jubilee trip with a six-month-old and the Oxford ring road 33:18 Chasing Algorithms vs. Staying Authentic — How both Jonathan and Heather learned the same lesson the hard way 34:25 The Value of Community in the Age of AI — Why human connection and shared passion can't be replicated by technology 34:54 What's Coming on the Renaissance English History Podcast — Female mystics, Julian of Norwich, Elizabeth Barton, and following the rabbit hole 36:50 The Business Shift — From "my Tudor stuff" to a real business, a book deal with WW Norton, and a Tudor app in development 41:21 Two Hobby-Turned-Businesses Compare Notes — Jonathan and Heather on what it feels like when the hard work starts paying off 42:51 Wrap-Up — Where to find Heather, TudorCon details, and a reminder that Anglotopia is a proud 2026 sponsor Video Version

A packed U.S. Supreme Court guts what is left of the Voting Rights Act while cynically claiming not to overturn it. We delve into the the implications for civil rights and for the 2026 and 2028 elections We welcome Christine Neuman Ortiz, the Executive Director of Voces de la Frontera to discuss their huge May Day marches and rallies in Milwaukee and Madison. Christine educates our listeners on the federal and state agenda for immigrant rights and urges everyone to attend one of the May Day events. Attend a May Day Strong event near you Robert reviews a wild week in A.I. data center news, including: (1) the Public Service Commission makes major changes to the We Energies proposed rates for data centers; (2) Wisconsin data center tax break to cost the state more than $2 billion in lost revenue; and (3) a new Marquette national poll shows the same public opposition to data centers it has found in state polling. Meanwhile on the health care cost crisis, Citizen Action and allies continue with well attended Health Care Town Halls, this week in Wisconsin's Northern Tier in Superior and Ashland. Robert explains why politicians saying it is no longer possible for Wisconsin to expand Medicaid or enact a BadgerCare Public Option miss the mark. Global warming sparks surge in tick bites, lymes disease, in Wisconsin. Robert provides us with the latest tick report for hikers and campers for the outdoor season. We close with more on the “electability” debate in the Democratic Gubernatorial Primary, as a new “leaked” memo from Tiffany consultants touts the electoral strengths of Francesca Hong. Is their claim that Hong's populist appeal could supercharge Democratic turnout and cut into the GOP rural base mere subterfuge to aid a less electable opponent, or a compelling indictment of the conventional wisdom of the Democratic consultant class?

"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place." - Elliott Erwitt "There's nothing more extraordinary than reality." - Mary Ellen Mark In this episode, Antonio and Ward talk about photographing ordinary things: streets, buildings, objects, empty places, and quiet scenes that may not seem important at first glance but begin to carry meaning when a photographer pays attention. Using Stephen Shore as a jumping-off point, they explore the difference between an ordinary subject and an ordinary photograph, and why an image does not always need a clear “hero” object to be worth making. Antonio connects the idea to his recent photographs of Ashland, Nebraska, while Ward reflects on his own habit of returning to familiar objects and places. Together, they consider how photography can give us permission to notice what is usually overlooked, and how the quietest pictures can sometimes say the most.   The Photographic Eye - What Stephen Shore Knew About Shooting Boring Places The Photographic Eye - How Joel Meyerowitz Shoots The Hardest Subject In Photography Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

Good Morning Angels, Happy Monday. A brand new week is upon us, and the celebrity world has absolutely not been resting. I'm Age London and I've been up since that crackad on collecting every single drop a tea for you. You're welcome, babes. Today. Meghana Stallion has put Clay Thompson on full blast and everybody on her side. Book Talk has officially been given its own bestseller chart, and I have thoughts all good ones. Helena Bonham Carter has exited White Lotus before filming even properly got started. And there's a new film coming out next month that I didn't know existed until today, and now it's all I can think about. So let's spore some tea. First Up Rapper and Broadway Start. Meghan Stallion is dumped NBA player Clay Thompson after less than a year of dating, and she did not go quietly. She posted to her Instagram stories cheating. You had me around your whole family playing house, got cold feet, holding you down through all your horrible moods, wings and treatment towards me during your basketball season. Now you don't know if you can be monogamous, followed by like five question marks. Then came the formal statement. She said, I've made the decision to end my relationship with Clay. Trust, fidelity and respect a non negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there's no real path forward. I personally preferred the Instagram run, but I respect her being classy about it. Now, let's put this in context. Two months ago, Meghan was publicly manifesting her own engagement. She'd met his whole family. The man named his boat after her, the ss Stallion that apparently could manage to be faithful Clay buddy, the ss Stallion deserved better, inserted Meghan next time. This one is for the readers, but not like literary fiction readers, the real ones like me, who spend more time than they care to imagine reading about other people. Bonking book Talk has officially been given its own UK bestseller chart. The new list is compiled by a media controller Nielsen IQ Book Data, the same people behind the Sunday Times bestseller list, so you know it's legit. It combines UK sales data with analyzes of the BookTok hashtag with over seventy seven million posts under the tag book It's about time they put some respect on Booktok's name. The inorderal Top twenty is entirely made up of female authors, as it should be. Irish writer Chloe Walsh appears the most. All six books in her Boys of Tom and series have made the list, which follows a group of teenagers navigating love, friendship and trauma at a private school. Romandes. He dominates, with Sarah g Mass and Rebecca Garris, both featuring heavily on top of the list. Heated rivalry of course, stick Around. We've got the Nick Jonas film that I did know existed and are now having an existential crisis over Helena Bottom. Carter has exited the White Lotus and the Sires family at a stagecoach moment that signals a full reconciliation. Welcome back to Morning Tea. Now over the weekend and you trailer dropped for a movie I didn't know all about until now, and I can't believe it. I'm beside myself with anticipation for May twenty nine. The film is called Power Ballad and it stars Paul Rudd and Nick freaking Jonas so Rad plays a wedding spinger past his prime. Nick plays a washed up boy band member. They have a late night jam by coincidence, and Paul Wright's character plays him a song he's been working on. Fast Forward. The pop star releases the song, reigniting his career. But this is when it gets complicated. You don't recognize it, should I of course yes you should. If that's my chorus and verse. I wrote at that time, when Wow, Danny Wilson, you were great up there, come with me. I could tell with any two minutes of any you you are ninely some boy band guy, and you are too good for that wedding band to him with this one for years. So every Signverrold in my life, it's about you. Sockered. The film is directed by the same guy who made Once, which if you haven't seen, please stop what you're doing and watch immediately, and he's already receiving rave reviews. Paul Right and Nick Jonas in a music film about songwriting, friendship and betrayal, put it in my veins. Helena Bottom Carter announced it as part of the White Load of season forecast back in January. Has exited the show and the timing is extraordinary. HBO released his statement seeing the character did not align once on set, and that the role has subsequently been rethought, is being rewritten, and will be being recast in coming weeks. So what we understand is that she got to Saint Trepe, unpacked her bags, got a couple of days into filming, and then it became clear to both parties it wasn't working. Reports suggests the role was central to the season story, which is why the decision was made to rewrite it entirely. I want to know if she got paid for a couple of days or she just got a free holiday at Center Pay, which I said wouldn't be bad about. The season is set during the Cannes Film Festival on the French Riviera, filming in Center Pey, Monaco and Paris. And finally, Noah Cyrus made her stagecoach debut on Friday over in the States and saved the best of last. After a studying set, she brought out her brother Brazen and then her dad, Billy Ray to perform their new song on Our Way Along a song tonight. Thank you so much for coming to see my first ever stage church. I'd like to talk about my brother Brazen and welcome my dad. Billy Ray's single written I produced by my brother Brazen, Hold on our way Along. You're right now. If you don't know anything about the Syrus family, there was some estrangement after Tish and Billy raised Aborce Scott Murkhy. Since then, Miley and Billy Ray have made up and now it's lovely to see they all seem to be on better terms, proof that once again, all faunilies are complicated, even when you're all famous. And now, my darlings, is it for today's morning tea. But thank you for spending a couple of minutes of your public holiday Monday with me. Hope you have a wonderful day with friends and family. Take care of yourself and in the meantime you can follow us on TikTok and Instagram to keep up to date with all the latest news and entertainment. Gusk.

In February, a bright blue, 38-foot-long, custom-built mobile health clinic rolled into Jackson County. Five days a week, it provides an array of free or low-cost services in Medford and Ashland that range from filling medications and running lab tests to dental exams and wound treatment. The mobile health clinic is operated by La Clinica, a nonprofit that for nearly 40 years has been helping meet the health care needs of primarily low-income residents in Jackson County.    This is La Clinica’s third mobile health clinic and the first time it has been able to provide these services in nearly three years after an arson fire destroyed its previous mobile clinic just a few days after it began seeing patients. Roughly 160 patients have already visited the new mobile clinic during its stops at food pantries, campgrounds, apartment complexes and other sites, according to Zulma Larios, La Clinica’s field-based care manager. The patients include Latinx residents afraid of visiting hospitals and clinics because of increased federal immigration enforcement, unhoused people and former adults in custody reentering society. Larios joins us to share more details about the impact the mobile health clinic is having.

He emphasizes creating access to unique wines and building a sense of community, while intentionally keeping the business small and personal rather than expanding or moving online.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Kimball's Artisan Wines in Jacksonville on March 15, 2026.Thank you to the Oregon Wine Board for generously supporting this interview as part of our Southern Oregon 2026 tour!

In November 2011, 23-year-old David Grubbs was murdered along a popular bike path in Ashland, Oregon, while heading home from work. The police were baffled because they couldn't find a motive for the murder. David was well-liked and had no known enemies. Over ten years later, and despite police naming a person of interest, his murder remains unsolved. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of David Grubbs. The police looked into David's online gaming presence as a possible motive, but that turned up nothing. The police named 32-year-old Christian Delaurentiis as a person of interest in David's case. Delaurentiis was in the area at the time and was a violent individual. He was sentenced to life in prison for murder. But so far, Christian has been unwilling to talk to the authorities.You can help support the show at patreon.com/truecrimeallthetimeVisit the show's website at truecrimeallthetime.com for contact, merchandise, and donation informationAn Emash Digital productionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cities are moving to take down monuments, memorials and street signs honoring César Chávez. Organizers are cancelling the annual events planned In honor of his March 31 birthday. While his contributions for migrant farmworkers and Chicano-Americans are indisputable, Chávez' heroic status among those he fought for is now challenged by troubling allegations surfacing in a New York Times investigation decades after the fact. We'll discuss the future of the movement Chávez is best known for, likely going forward without his name. We'll also discuss any lessons his downfall may have for the tendency to build a cause around one man.

Our primary mission when the organization was founded in 1965 was to provide continuing education for cattle veterinarians and this remains our priority today. AABP also is involved with advocacy and supporting the initiatives of the AABP Foundation, but this does not take away from our CE mission. In 2025, we had 26 RACE-approved live and recorded CE events and we will have even more for our members in 2026! All CE opportunities can be found on the Continuing Education menu of the AABP website. Currently there are nine webinars scheduled that are RACE-approved for 1 hour of CE. Webinars can be found here.

Since 2022, homeowners have been able to get up to 30% off the cost of installing solar panels through a federal tax credit. But President Trump rolled back those incentives as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The residential credit officially expired on Dec. 31, 2025. The administration also changed how it defines the start of construction for large-scale wind and solar projects, meaning developers have less time to access federal tax credits for those projects.   Angela Crowley-Koch is the executive director of the Oregon Solar and Storage Industries Association. Eric Hansen is the owner of True South Solar, a solar installation company based in Ashland. They both join us to talk about how the rollback of federal incentives are reshaping Oregon’s solar energy industry.

If you pay attention to street signs in Chicago, you'll notice imperfections and many quirks. Paul Durica of the Chicago History Museum said a coworker informed him that North Avenue becomes North Boulevard when you're east of Clark Street. “And I was like, what?” Durica recalled. “And it does! And it's because here we are, now in the park.” One of Chicago's major arteries, Ashland Avenue, has a rich history of its own. In our last episode, we looked at why streets like Ashland are occasionally labelled boulevards (like North Boulevard, sometimes the answer is because the street is adjacent to a park). Today, we're looking closer at the history of Ashland Avenue, including how it became a major thoroughfare and why the city widened it at great expense 100 years ago. (The short answer?
