"With animal welfare, we're basically waiting till the roof falls in — when the animals are at the shelter, that's the roof falling in. We have to catch them earlier." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, OcuTrap, and The Kitten Conference. What if the animal welfare system stopped waiting for families to walk through the shelter door — and started showing up before they ever got there? That's the question driving BJ Adkins, disabled veteran and founder of Animal Angels Foundation (AAF), a prevention-first nonprofit serving seven counties in central Alabama. After years of fostering and watching intake numbers refuse to budge, BJ decided to stop patching the system and start rebuilding its missing layer. AAF isn't a rescue organization. It's prevention infrastructure: programs designed to solve the problems that force pet surrender before surrender ever becomes an option. Those programs include SNIP, a spay/neuter assistance initiative with a $100 stipend for income-qualifying owners; The Bridge, which addresses the financial and housing barriers that most often precede surrender; Finder-to-Foster; Adoption Boost; Landlord Partnership; and Sniff and Greet. Connecting it all is the Animal Welfare Resource Network (AWRN) — a shared technology platform that replaces organizational silos with real-time coordination across shelters, rescues, vet clinics, and community partners. Three participation levels and no cost to join means even change-resistant organizations can get on board. To measure what's working, BJ is partnering with a University of Tennessee researcher to build the evidence base for prevention-first animal welfare — while already fielding calls from Colorado, Tennessee, and the Canadian SPCA. The data is being collected. The network is growing. And if BJ has anything to say about it, the roof won't have to fall in anymore. Press Play Now For: Why BJ compares the current animal welfare system to waiting for the roof to fall in — and what "upstream" intervention actually looks like A breakdown of AAF's six core programs and how each one targets a specific point of failure before shelter intake How the Animal Welfare Resource Network (AWRN) replaces organizational silos with a shared, real-time coordination platform The SNIP program's $100 stipend model and why removing financial friction matters for low-income pet owners BJ's strategy for bringing change-resistant organizations into the network — with three levels of participation and no cost to join How AAF is partnering with University of Tennessee researchers to build a data-driven case for prevention programs Practical advice for new nonprofit founders: research first, build relationships, and find the gap nobody else is filling Resources & Links Animal Angels Foundation Website Animal Welfare Resource Network (AWRN) Maddie's Pet Forum (where Stacy and BJ connected)

In this episode, Michael speaks with Thomas Falk, a researcher at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), part of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). Thomas works at the intersection of research and development, and for many years he has been designing and testing what he calls experiential learning games: structured, face-to-face exercises that help communities understand and address their shared resource challenges. Thomas employs games in the service of a key principle: that the best way to help communities manage their shared resources isn't to tell them what to do, but to create a space where they can figure it out for themselves. And that space, it turns out, can look a lot like a game. In this conversation, Thomas discuss an important principle shared by many commons scholars: that communities are often better at identifying the right institutions for their own contexts than outside researchers are. The games he designs don't hand communities a solution. Instead, they help participants see the structure of their own collective problems clearly, often for the first time, and then work out the rules they want to live by together. Michael and Thomas discuss how such games are run, the role of gender in collective decision-making, what it actually looks like to facilitate one of these sessions in a village in rural India, and what the evidence actually shows about whether any of this changes behavior in the real world. Thomas would like to acknowledge the financial support for his work from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the CGIAR Policy Innovations Science Program, the CGIAR Gender Equality and Inclusion Accelerator, and the Co-Impact Philanthropic Funds.

Hun er en catalansk komet, der kom ud af ingenting, og nu er ved at forandre alting. For det er årtier siden, at en kunstner har fået jorden under den globale musikscene til at skælve som fænomenet Rosalia. Og musikredaktør Simon Lund kan stadig mærke rystelserne, efter han oplevede den 33-årige superstjerne for nylig. Han har skrevet mere end 1.000 musikanmeldelser i sin tid på Politiken, men han har aldrig oplevet nogen – eller noget – som Rosalia. I dag taler vi med ham om mysteriet Rosalia, der med flamencotrin, nonneæstetik, sex, vold og bildæk er ved at overtage tronen efter ikoner som Kate Bush og Björk. Og vi spørger ham, hvorfor hun er mere end en hypet døgnflue i et poplandskab præget af algoritmer og hurtige hits.

När korsfarare, sultaner och kalifer kämpade om makten i Mellanöstern växte en liten rörelse fram i skuggorna. Från bergsfästet Alamut byggde Hassan ibn Sabbah och hans anhängare ett nätverk av infiltratörer, agenter och lönnmördare som spred skräck genom hela regionen. Deras fiender kallade dem assassiner.I det här avsnittet av Historiepodden följer vi den verkliga historien bakom myten. Om attentat, korståg, propaganda och psykologisk krigföring i en medeltid där ingen kunde känna sig säker – inte ens kungar och sultaner.

Get Weekly Leadership Blueprints in your inbox: https://mailchi.mp/mcfaglobal/leadership-blueprints-newsletter Every leader has that one person on the team. The one showing up halfway. The one quietly setting the ceiling for everyone else. And most leaders tolerate it longer than they should.Matt Crespino refused to. After taking over the Princeton men's swim team, he inherited what his assistant called an opt-in culture, where the committed thrived and the disengaged got to coast. Matt blew it up. He made the team write their own core values, told the roster it was all in or out, and just won his second straight Ivy League championship doing it.In this conversation, Matt and BJ get into what it actually takes to raise the standard without losing your people. Why he had to coach against his own instincts to let the team have fun. How relationship building, not X's and O's, is the real work. And why the best coaches are the last line of defense for what sports are supposed to teach. If you lead anything, a team, a company, a family, this one is going to hit.Topics discussed:00:00 - Why your least committed person sets the ceiling01:00 - Launching the Friendly Strife Foundation segment07:00 - Coaching at West Point in the shadow of war10:00 - Realizing the job is bigger than coaching swimming13:00 - Why sports is the most powerful leadership classroom17:00 - Recruiting for culture not just talent18:00 - Shifting Princeton from opt-in to all-in20:00 - The five core values the team built together24:00 - Why fun became their unlock for winning26:00 - Coaching against your own instincts27:00 - Trust and inspire over command and control30:00 - How NIL and the transfer portal are reshaping coaching32:00 - Why failure has to be a safe place to land37:00 - Why they will not come to you if you have not built the relationship43:00 - The legacy of a coach who caredConnect with Matt Crispino:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mattcrispino/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-crispino-a26b5239/

Hey UN•THERAPIST,We need your help UN•THERAPIZING something…Have we started attaching ourselves to second-hand trauma? Not trauma we've personally lived through, but trauma we've inherited through stories, social media, conversations, and experiences shared by others.And when people share traumatic experiences, are we extracting the trauma from it or the principles that came from surviving it?Because there's a difference between learning from pain, and building your identity around pain you never actually experienced.Then we revisited another conversation we've had before about Black businesses and discounts.

Phil and Emily continue the Angelina Jolie action films miniseries with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), joined by BJ Colangelo and Harmony Colangelo, co-hosts of the This Ends at Prom podcast. BJ and Harmony previously joined the show for Hard-Boiled, which Phil describes as a superior action movie. Harmony agrees with everything about that sentence.Tomb Raider follows aristocrat archaeologist Lara Croft racing against the villainous Illuminati to retrieve the two halves of the Triangle of Light before a rare planetary alignment allows them to unlock its power over time. It cost $150 million, grossed $274 million worldwide, and opened June 15th, 2001 against Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Shrek, Swordfish, Pearl Harbor, and Evolution. Paramount had purchased the video game rights in 1998. No fewer than seven screenwriters took a pass at the script before Simon West stitched something together and pointed a camera at Angelina Jolie.The group agrees on several things: Jolie is perfectly cast, clearly having a blast, and simply is Lara Croft in a way that very few actors embody a character that completely. They do not agree on much else. Phil's issues are with the script, specifically a 45-minute delay before the film bothers to explain what is actually at stake. Harmony's defense is that this is video game logic, anything is possible, and sometimes you just want to watch someone cool do cool things. Emily ran into Angelina Jolie at a grocery store once and has thoughts.Daniel Craig is also in this movie. Nobody can identify what accent he is doing. Emily has a theory involving one specific block in Lincoln, Nebraska.This is the second installment of the miniseries on Angelina Jolie's 2000s action films, following Gone in 60 Seconds.Follow the show and guests:Podcast Like It's... — https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil Iscove — https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. James — https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsBJ Colangelo — https://www.instagram.com/bjcolangeloHarmony Colangelo — https://www.instagram.com/harmonycolangeloThis Ends at Prom — https://www.instagram.com/thisendsatprom

We gathered to listen through one of the most singular debut albums ever made. Here's the recording of the chat. Niall is joined at our live listening event Listen Closely in the Big Romance by Cian Galvin aka Irish hip-hop producer and crate digger The Expert to discuss... DJ Shadow - Endtroducing (1996) A towering achievement in sample-based plunderphonics, music arrangements and turntablist-lead production techniques, DJ Shadow's 1996's debut album Endtroducing remains one of the most evocative and singular classic albums of recent times. Entirely built of obscure crate-dug samples using an Akai MPC60 sampler, Endtroducing's cinematic soundscapes finds a transportive space where emotionally resonant electronica and hip-hop meet - the middle ground between light and shadow. It is considered one of the best albums of all-time, and is certainly one of mine. * Support Nialler9 on Patreon, get event discounts, playlists, ad-free episodes and join our Discord community Listen on Apple | Android  | Patreon | Pocketcasts | CastBox | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS Feed | Pod.Link The third instalment of our loosely titled Plunderphonics series for the Nialler9 Listening Party brought us to a record that, thirty years on, still doesn't quite sound like anything else. DJ Shadow's Endtroducing, released September 16th 1996 on Mo' Wax, is a record built entirely from other records - and yet it sounds like nothing any of those records ever sounded like. If you missed the night, the podcast recording is above. What follows is a bit of context and some of what we got into. The trilogy so far We've now done The Avalanches' Since I Left You and J Dilla's Donuts as part of this loose series. All three are sample-based records. All three feel like complete worlds unto themselves. There's something about the constraint of working entirely within found sound that produces a particular kind of magic - you're hearing music that was already forgotten being given an entirely new life, filtered through the taste and instincts of one person with a singular obsession. Endtroducing is the most melancholic of the three. It's not a party record or a rap record in any conventional sense. It's a cinematic, introspective piece of work - breakbeats, jazz, psychedelia, hip-hop, all of it dissolved into something that feels like its own atmosphere. The kid from Davis, California Josh Davis grew up in Davis, California, then San Jose - both outside the main cultural centres, which is something he and Mo' Wax founder James Lavelle bonded over immediately when they first spoke by phone. Lavelle had grown up in Oxford. Both felt like outsiders to the scenes they were drawn to. Shadow was experimenting with a four-track recorder in high school and DJing on the campus radio station KDVS at UC Davis before he'd made a single release. By 1993 he was part of the Solesides underground hip-hop collective alongside Blackalicious, Lateef, and Lyrics Born. Lavelle found him through a B-side remix on a forgotten hip-hop promo, tracked him down through a friend at Tommy Boy Records, and told him: "Don't worry about choruses and verses, just push your sound further." That's more or less what he did. The equipment The entire album was made on an Akai MPC60 II, a pair of turntables, and an Alesis ADAT tape recorder that belonged to Dan the Automator. Shadow was 23 years old. The MPC could sample 2.5 seconds of stereo and store 13 seconds total. Everything on the record - the beats, the melodies, the percussion - had to be constructed within those limits. Self-imposed limitation producing something that infinite digital possibilities probably couldn't. There's a reason we don't really get records like this anymore, and it's partly because the tools have become too open-ended. The seams and the constraints are part of what gives Endtroducing its particular texture. The crates Shadow spent his days in the basement of Rare Records in Sacramento, a shop with records piled to the ceiling. He found a mummified bat down there once. The cover photograph, taken by B+, shows producer Chief Xcel and Lyrics Born (in a wig) in that same basement. It's as good a visual summary of the album's ethos as you'll find anywhere. He made it a rule to avoid sampling obvious or well-known material. The samples he pulled were largely from forgotten funk, soul, jazz, experimental, and sound library records - music that had no audience left and no commercial future. He rescued them. The liner notes credit everything, including the big clearance cases: Metallica, Björk, and the David Axelrod piano loop that anchors 'Midnight in a Perfect World'. Lavelle handled the clearances. "The samples were pretty easy to clear," he said. "It's different when you're sampling some Swedish drum break from 1970 than sampling James Brown." The album itself Endtroducing feels like a place. Not a collection of tracks but a world you enter at the start and leave at the end, slightly altered. The drums on 'Building Steam with a Grain of Salt', the disorienting loop of 'Changeling', the controlled chaos of the second half of 'Scatter Brain', the three-part sweep of 'Stem/Long Stem', the ache of 'Midnight in a Perfect World'. It's not a happy record. Shadow said himself that feelings of self-doubt and depression came through in the music during production. You can hear it. The Wire's first ever review called it "a debut of melancholic mediocrity." Melody Maker said "you need this record. You are incomplete without it." The bigger question There's a clip of Shadow in the Rare Records basement that gets used a lot in discussions about Endtroducing. He gestures around at the records and says: "Almost none of these artists still have a career. Ten years down the line, you'll be in here." It's a bleak thought, but also the central one. Sampling asks us to reckon with music's ephemerality - but it also offers a counter-argument. These records survived because Shadow found them. Their sounds are in the album. They're still being heard.

The EV industry is evolving fast and so are the biggest automotive and technology festivals in America. On this episode of the Turn Down For Watt Podcast, we sit down with BJ Birtwell, founder of Electrify Expo and the newly expanded Demo Days Festival, to discuss why one of the nation's largest EV-focused touring events is transforming into a massive future mobility festival featuring EVs, hybrids, robotics, Tesla Optimus, air mobility, eVTOL aircraft, autonomous technology, and hands-on demos from major OEMs and brands like Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Ford, Toyota, and more.

Tonsättaren Tebogo Monnakgotla hörde på Vetenskapsradion och blev inspirerad. Nu har hennes cellokonsert, som kom till av det, premiär i Konserthuset i Stockholm. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Programmet sändes första gången i april 2026. Det var när Tebogo Monnakgotla hörde ett avsnitt av Vetenskapspodden som hon bestämde sig för att skriva sin cellokonsert om humlor. Det var brittiske forskare Dave Goulson som beskrev humlornas mörka sida – vad som händer mellan drottningen, arbetshumlorna och deras ägg nere i mörkret under jord. Han beskrev det som ett Shakespeare-drama som påminde om Macbeth.Och nu finns alltså verket Bombus av Tebogo Monnakgotla, som uruppförs i Konserthuset i Stockholm, under deras 100-årsfirande. Solist är cellisten Senja Rummukainen.I Vetenskapsradion berättar Tebogo Monnakgotla om hur hon tänkt med musiken, och vi får också höra forskarna Dave Goulson och Björn Cederberg om hur det gått för humlorna sedan vi gjorde det program som inspirerade till musiken.Lena Nordlundlena.nordlund@sr.se

Why This Church Keeps Growing Year After Year | Kai Foster Why do some churches steadily grow while others plateau? In this insightful interview from the Healthy Church Growth Conference in Boston, Rob Skinner sits down with Kai Foster, who leads the growing church in Reno, Nevada alongside his wife BJ. Over the past decade, the Reno church has experienced consistent growth — nearly doubling in size. In this conversation, Kai shares several practical and spiritual principles that have helped create a culture of connection, unity, and spiritual depth within the church. One of the biggest keys? Intentional fellowship. Kai explains how creating structured time for meaningful conversations during worship services and midweek meetings has helped disciples build authentic relationships that go beyond surface-level interactions. He also shares why his church still uses printed sermon outlines and devotionals every week — and why "ink and paper still have power" in a world dominated by screens. This episode is filled with practical ideas for: Building stronger church community Increasing unity and connection Creating spiritually engaging church environments Helping people feel known and connected Encouraging deeper conversations Supporting long-term church growth Whether you lead a church, small group, ministry, or simply want stronger Christian community, this conversation is packed with wisdom and encouragement. Key Takeaways Church growth often begins with deeper connection Intentional fellowship creates stronger disciples Structured conversations build unity Printed spiritual content increases retention and engagement Healthy churches create environments where people feel known Fellowship must go beyond surface-level interactions Memorable Quotes "Connectivity is the greatest challenge for suburban Christians." "Ink and paper still have power." "You can't obey the second greatest command if you're not connected." "People are accustomed to deeper conversations." Topics Covered Church growth Christian fellowship Leadership development Healthy church culture Midweek ministry Discipleship Spiritual community Church connection Faith and retention Reno church growth

The May 17, 1976 issue of Sports Illustrated is the perfect time capsule for Past Our Prime, capturing the sports world exactly 50 years ago through unforgettable stories and personalities. Headlined by Julius Erving on the cover, the issue showcased “Dr. J” at the peak of his ABA brilliance with the New York Nets as the league headed towards extinction and its historic merger with the NBA. But the magazine also stretched far beyond basketball, with features on the Flyers Reggie Leach's playoff explosion, Björn Borg's rivalry with Guillermo Vilas, baseball quirks, golf drama, and even Japanese baseball culture. It's exactly the kind of rich, entertaining snapshot of sports history that we love revisiting each week. On this week's episode of Past Our Prime, we jumped into that May 17, 1976 issue with author Michael MacCambridge who joined us to discuss his acclaimed book The Franchise: A History of Sports Illustrated Magazine. He took us behind the scenes of how SI rose from near failure in the 1950s to become the gold standard of sports journalism, blending deep reporting, cultural insight, and unforgettable storytelling. MacCambridge explored the magazine's internal battles, larger-than-life personalities, and its profound influence on how America viewed sports for decades. His book is both a love letter and a clear-eyed history of one of the most important publications of the 20th century. MacCambridge tells us how as a child in 1976, his favorite player was Dr. J. Despite the fact he had never seen him play. Not in person. Not on TV. Only through the beautiful shots and words of SI. MacCambridge recalls how SI was one of the first magazines to implement color phots and how Henry Luce and Andre Andre Laguerre took an idea and turned it into a cultural phenomenon. He tells us how Sports Illustrated lost money its first 10 years in business before they started to turn the corner.  He compares being on the cover of SI to a musician being on the cover of Rolling Stone and he tells us how “a case can be made Julius Erving was the last truly mythic figure in American sports” MacCambridsge is a history professor and his subject is Sports Illustrated and he's teaching a class this week on Past Our Prime.

Flugmálafélag Íslands stóð fyrir fundi um Reykjavíkurflugvöll og flugið í aðdraganda sveitastjórnarkosninga. Fulltrúar allra framboða sem bjóða fram í höfuðborginni mættu, hlustuðu á erindi og greindu frá afstöðu sinni og síns flokks. Þessi þáttur er stutt samantekt frá þessum fundi og samanstendur af inngangsorðum frá Matthíasi Sveinsbjörnssyni forseta Flugmálafélagsins, á eftir honum fer Viðar Jökull Björnsson flugvallarstjóri á Reykjavíkurflugvelli yfir stöðu vallarins og þar á eftir koma stutt erindi frá hverjum frambjóðenda um afstöðuna til flugvallarins.

Það er kjördagur og Heimskviður fjalla um samgöngumál, húsnæðismál og þjóðfélagsumræðuna, reyndar með sínu nefi. Allra augu eru á Downingstræti 10 þessa dagana. Þetta hefur verið erfið vika hjá Keir Starmer forsætisráðherra Breta, og margir sem spá því að hann verði ekki langlífur í embætti. Ég ætla aðeins að skoða hvers vegna hann er svona óvinsæll og hvað taki við. Kjördagur í dag og annar dagur síðar í sumar þar sem landsmenn þurfa að gera upp hug sinn og nýta kosningaréttinn. Það er raunhæft að óttast tilraunir utanaðkomandi aðila til að hafa áhrif á þjóðmálaumræðuna hér á landi í aðdraganda þjóðaratkvæðagreiðslu um viðræður við Evrópusambandið. Þetta segja sérfræðingar sem fást við upplýsingaóreiðu og svokallaðar fjölþáttaógnir - sem eru sífellt stærri hluti af því sem öryggisstofnanir fást við. Ógnir af þessu tagi eru hins vegar daglegt brauð í ríkjum sem standa okkur tiltölulega nærri; til dæmis í Noregi - og Eistlandi - þangað sem Björn Malmquist ætlar að fara með okkur í Heimskviðum í dag. Síðar á þessu ári verður hinn goðsagnarkenndi þjóðvegur 66 í Bandarikjunum hundrað ára og tímamótanna minnst með ýmsum hætti. Það má alveg halda því fram að hluti sögu Bandaríkjanna liggi í malbikinu á þessum 4000 km vegi sem liggur þvert yfir landið. Birta skoðaði sögu þessa líklega þekktasta þjóðvegar heims, sem lifir nú meira á fornri frægð en sem samgönguæðin sem honum var upphaflega ætlað að vera.

BJ found a new study of the generation that's the most likely to steal their coworkers food out of the fridge at work! Which generation do you think it is and can you blame them with prices right now?

BJ went to Dick's Sporting Goods yesterday because his son needed a baseball bat! When they got up to the counter to checkout, he was offered to buy an extended warranty for the bat just in case something major happened to it for 2 years and BJ passed. Are those extended warranty's worth it or no??

Happy Friday! BJ is headed to his HS Class Reunion in Tennessee and is going to MC the night. The Colfax Marathon is going down this morning and runners are a different breed of people. BJ almost got talked into buying a 2 year extended warranty on a bat for his son? What generation do you think is stealing their co workers lunch at work? Wait until you hear what Taylor and Travis are requesting from their wedding guests.

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a pair of songwriters who currently call Canada home, but whose music and backgrounds come from intriguingly different places: Lido Pimienta and Ora Cogan. Lido Pimienta is an incredibly thoughtful, thoroughly outspoken musician/artist who was born in Colombia and whose music takes inspiration from there and a dozen other places. She released her first record in 2010, but it was 2016's experimental-leaning La Papessa that won her both the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and a bigger batch of listeners inspired by her activism and genre-jumping. The laziest comparison might be Björk, so take that for what it's worth. Pimienta's latest album is last year's stirring, strange, and gorgeous La Belleza. Check out the minimal song “Mango” right here. The music made by the other person in today's conversation, Ora Cogan, comes from a different sonic place but I think a similar emotional one. Cogan's new album Hard Hearted Woman takes old-school West Coast singer-songwriter vibes and adds a bit of modern indie-psych edge. I hear influences like Joni Mitchell and Sharon van Etten bubbling under, but there's something a little darker happening in Cogan's songs that's hard to put a finger on but a pleasure to hear. She's finishing up a West Coast US tour at the moment that will end back home in British Columbia, so check her out if you can, and in the meantime, check out the song “The Smoke” from Hard Hearted Woman right here. In this lively conversation, Pimienta and Cogan talk about coffee, Canada, and Pimienta's recent career reset. They also talk about the increasing difficulties of making art in the modern economy, something we've heard from other guests recently as well. But they don't let it get them down—enjoy this chat and their positive energy. 0:00 — Intro 2:46 — Start of conversation 3:29 — On coffee, productivity, fast food, and sugar 6:40 — On “road snacks” and favorite foods while touring abroad 8:00 — On fiddling and Irish and Scottish folk music 10:04 — On safety while crossing borders and making tour travel plans 10:53 — On the importance of music, creativity, and connection today 14:18 — On the contrast between spirituality and the music business 17:23 — On fame and realistic expectations for musicians 21:36 — On Lida's music and how her culture influenced her style 26:13 — On finding connection through art, beauty, and sharing culture 28:20 — On authenticity and gatekeeping in art 29:43 — On the connections between wealth, commercialization, and the importance of real art and experience 31:46 — On raising children in a consumerist world, and introducing them to art and culture Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Lido Pimienta and Ora Cogan for chatting.
