Unofficial fourth host of the pod Chelanga Langason is back to give us the takes we've been missing since the end of his internet presence and the CnD NBA Show. It was great and fun. 

In this guest-hosted episode of The Andrew Gasser Show, Clay Edwards and Shaun Yurtkuran tackle Mississippi's liquor distribution crisis at the ABC warehouse, where a catastrophic backlog—stemming from a botched software rollout, the removal of an outdated conveyor system without a replacement, and a hasty switch to a pallet-based order fulfillment—has left over 200,000 cases of liquor undelivered despite prepaid orders. They explore the devastating impacts on bars, restaurants, and casinos, including tied-up capital, shrinking inventories, and potential closures or job losses in an industry that employs thousands statewide. The duo proposes short-term fixes like hotshot deliveries, scheduled will-calls, and increased manpower, while advocating for long-term privatization through distributors to remove government inefficiency. Drawing on historical roots from post-Prohibition moral codes and illegal "Gold Coast" operations, they discuss how the debacle could reshape the 2027 gubernatorial race, forcing candidates to address economic fallout and moral dilemmas in a conservative state.

This week's episode features my weird obsession of messing with Haley in Stardew Valley, the fun of fighting Queens in ARC Raiders, and how A Game About Digging a Hole is a game about digging a hole.

Missouri's mental health jail backlog is worsening. Over 500 people are currently waiting for court-ordered mental health services that would allow their criminal cases to move forward. Three years ago, the waitlist numbered around 200. Many have not been convicted of a crime but still languish in jails for months or even years. Missouri Independent Reporter Steph Quinn shares her insights from her reporting and a recent legislative hearing on the “crisis” of Missouri's mental health backlog. Annie Legomsky, director of client advocacy for the Missouri public defender's office, takes us behind the scenes of the ongoing struggle to address the mental health backlog.

Dominique und Tim sprechen in dieser Folge darüber, was das 3-Horizonte-Modell für die Arbeit als Product Owner bedeutet und warum es weit mehr ist als ein strategisches Denkmodell aus der Managementliteratur. Das 3-Horizonte-Modell hilft dabei, Produkte nicht nur im Hier und Jetzt zu betrachten, sondern im Spannungsfeld von heute, morgen und übermorgen. Viele Product Owner:innen stecken gedanklich tief im Tagesgeschäft: Backlog pflegen, sich mit Stakeholder abstimmen und Releases vorbereiten. Das ist wichtig. Doch genau hier setzt das 3-Horizonte-Modell an und öffnet ein wenig die Perspektive. Doch was sind die drei Horizonte? Der erste Horizont steht für das aktuelle Kerngeschäft. Hier wird die Wertschöpfung gesichert, Bestehendes optimiert, auf Marktanforderungen reagiert und das Produkt stabil gehalten. Die Unsicherheit ist vergleichsweise gering. Wir kennen Markt, Nutzer und Geschäftsmodell gut. Prognosen fallen leichter. Es geht darum, den Lebenszyklus unseres Produktes bewusst zu verlängern und wirtschaftlich tragfähig zu halten. Doch wer ausschließlich im ersten Horizont denkt, riskiert Stillstand. Im zweiten Horizont bewegen wir uns in aufkommenden Geschäftsfeldern. Produkte oder Features zeigen erste Marktsignale. Hier geht es darum, echten Product Market Fit zu erreichen. Wir prüfen, ob aus einer guten Idee ein tragfähiges Geschäft wird. Kundennähe, schnelles Feedback und konsequentes Lernen prägen diese Phase. Der Fokus verschiebt sich von Stabilität hin zu Wachstum und Skalierung. Der dritte Horizont fordert uns noch stärker heraus. Hier arbeiten wir mit Hypothesen, nicht mit gesicherten Umsätzen. Es geht um Optionen für die Zukunft. Um Problemstellungen, die wir erst verstehen müssen. Um Experimente, die scheitern dürfen. Das 3-Horizonte-Modell macht deutlich, dass Innovation Raum braucht. Raum zum Lernen. Raum zum Ausprobieren. Raum für Unsicherheit. Für Product Owner bedeutet das eine bewusste Haltung. Je nach Horizont verändert sich der Schwerpunkt der Arbeit. In ersten Horizont dominieren Effizienz und Priorisierung innerhalb eines klaren Rahmens. In Horizont zwei stehen Validierung, Marktnähe und schnelles Anpassen im Mittelpunkt. In Horizont drei braucht es Mut, Neugier und die Bereitschaft, mit unklaren Ergebnissen zu arbeiten. Das 3-Horizonte-Modell schafft dabei Orientierung im Portfolio. Es hilft Organisationen zu erkennen, woran Teams eigentlich arbeiten. Es verhindert, dass Innovationsinitiativen vorschnell an klassischen Erfolgskriterien gemessen werden. Und es schützt gleichzeitig das Kerngeschäft vor blinder Experimentierfreude. Und gerade in der Rolle als Product Owner ist diese Transparenz entscheidend. Wir müssen verstehen, in welchem Horizont unser Produkt gerade unterwegs ist. Davon hängen Entscheidungen, Metriken und Erwartungen ab. Ein Experiment aus Horizont drei braucht andere Bewertungsmaßstäbe als ein etabliertes Produkt in Horizont eins. Das 3-Horizonte-Modell ist damit kein theoretisches Konstrukt, sondern ein praktisches Werkzeug für strategische Klarheit. Es verbindet Produktstrategie mit konkreter Produktarbeit. Und es erinnert uns daran, dass nachhaltiger Produkterfolg immer auf mehreren Zeitebenen gedacht wird.

Warmest of Welcomes everybody This month on the Mooglecast; Zac and Max are joined by the controversial one, big skrilly willy Skrillus to talk about some of the crews backlog plans (Pre State of Play) for the year. Max has had the Splinter Cell PS2 trilogy installed on his PS3 since 2013, will this finally be the year he plays them? Will Skrillus finally earn the last trophy for Blasphemous? Will Zac continue to to chip away at one of trophy huntings most prestigious series completions? During the preshow we catch up on some of the latest platinums earned by the discord community in Platinum shoutouts. Cactuar VS Tonberry returns with a new entry where Skrillus comes out swinging. And as per usual the boys discuss what they've been playing! This is a meaty episode so grab a beer and stick on a podcast game. Next month is the return of Mini Topics Vol 3. But until then, be excellent to eachother. Max

The rules of the game are changing—both at the border and in the regional field office. On today's episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we are joined by two leading experts to discuss the policy shifts threatening union leverage in 2026. Part 1: The USMCA 2026 Review with Adam Hersh Senior Economist Adam Hersh joins us to break down the high-stakes "NAFTA 2.0" review coming this July. While USMCA was sold as a fix for manufacturing, Hersh explains why loopholes in auto rules of origin and the threat of offshoring continue to chill collective bargaining. We discuss: What happens if the U.S., Mexico, and Canada don't agree by July. How "China-linked" supply chains are shifting the footprint in Mexico. The essential pillars of a truly worker-centered trade agenda. Part 2: The NLRB Staffing Crisis with Andrew Strom Brooklyn Law School professor and labor lawyer Andrew Strom returns to discuss a compounding crisis at the National Labor Relations Board. With staffing at a decade-long low and a post-shutdown backlog mounting, "justice delayed" is becoming a tactical weapon for employers. We dive into: How new ULP intake procedures are slowing down investigations. The "chilling effect" on witness statements when cases sit for months. Why funding the NLRB is the most cost-effective way to protect the NLRA. Listen in to hear how unions can navigate these legal and economic headwinds to keep building power.

As soon as they were done watching it Kevin got Gary (TheSlyGCooper) and Kade (TheGreenGorillaGamer) to give their immediate reactions to PlayStation's February 2026 State of Play. They cover their top highlights, a few missed opportunities, and some write-in reactions from other Trophy Talk Discord members. Kade almost loses his dinner in multiple ways and Gary insists that that we will never actually have a "year of the backlog." This was a quick recording with no edits, so we hope you enjoy this raw reaction to Sony's latest State of Play presentation.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explain why the AI revolution isn't a bubble — it's backed by unprecedented backlog growth.Highlights00:02 — There are some wild numbers being thrown around here early in 2026 as we think about the CapEx investments that the four hyperscalers — Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, and Oracle — are making to build up their AI factories, their AI and cloud infrastructure to meet the incredible demand for AI training, inferencing, cloud transformations, business transformations, and more.01:28 — The money, the huge revenue, is already there, and it's growing at an incredible pace. That's why these companies are investing so much, because the market is so enormous, the potential is so huge. This number —$1.63 trillion — that's the amount of either RPO or backlog combined that those four companies have generated going forward.02:12 — The RPO backlog figures for each of these companies are: Microsoft, $625 billion, growing at 110%; Oracle, $523 billion, growing at 438%; AWS, $240 billion, up 40%; Google Cloud, $240 billion, growing at 55%. These are very fresh figures from their Q4 earnings results.03:28 — Microsoft and Google each going to spend about $185 billion in CapEx this fiscal year; AWS, $200 billion; and Oracle, about $75 billion. That totals up to $645 billion dollars in CapEx. The world has never seen anything like this. We're into unprecedented territory here.04:39 — That is money that's chasing this already committed business in RPO and backlog. This is $1.63 trillion. That's right here, right now — a snapshot of what they already have in backlog. Even if they don't come anywhere close to those growth rates, they're still showing extraordinary growth and vitality.

In dieser Podcast Folge sprechen Oliver und Tim darüber, wie eine Product Roadmap gestaltet sein kann, ohne ihre eigentliche Aufgabe zu verlieren. Beide bringen ihre Erfahrungen aus Trainings und der täglichen Arbeit mit Produktteams ein und nehmen sich bewusst Zeit für die Frage, welchen Detailgrad eine Product Roadmap wirklich braucht und in welchen Darstellungsform sie hilfreich ist. Eine Product Roadmap entsteht nicht als Lieferplan und auch nicht als Versprechen auf Termine. Sie beschreibt eine Richtung und schafft Orientierung darüber, welche Wirkung mit einem Produkt in welcher Reihenfolge erreicht werden soll. Genau hier liegt der Kern der Diskussion. Eine Product Roadmap hilft dann, wenn sie Klarheit über Ziele und Wirkungen erzeugt und nicht versucht, zukünftige Entwicklungen bis ins letzte Detail vorwegzunehmen. Die ist keine vorhersage der Zukunft. Zu viel Genauigkeit erzeugt Scheinsicherheit und lenkt den Blick schnell auf Output statt auf Wirkung. Was für Templates nutzt du bei der Arbeit mit Product Roadmaps? Gibt es Tools oder Darstellungsformen auf die wir zu wenig oder garnicht eingegangen sind? Teile deine Erfahrungen oder Geschichten deiner Arbeit mit Product Roadmaps doch mit uns und der Community. Hinterlasse gerne einen Kommentar unterm Blog-Artikels oder auf unserer Produktwerker LinkedIn-Seite. Der Detailgrad einer Product Roadmap hängt stark vom Kontext ab. In stabilen Umfeldern kann eine längere Vorschau sinnvoll erscheinen, während in einem volatilen Produktumfeld kurze Zeithorizonte und bewusst grobe Darstellungen besser funktionieren. Entscheidend ist, dass die Product Roadmap Raum für Lernen lässt und Veränderungen nicht als Störung wahrgenommen werden. Sie bleibt ein lebendiges Arbeitsinstrument und kein statisches Dokument. Auch die Darstellungsform spielt dabei eine wichtige Rolle. Eine Product Roadmap darf einfach sein und muss nicht jedes Element erklären, solange sie ihre Richtung klar vermittelt. Wirkungsziele, übergeordnete Themen und zeitliche Orientierung reichen oft aus, um Gespräche zu ermöglichen und Entscheidungen zu unterstützen. Zusätzliche Details entstehen dort, wo sie gebraucht werden, etwa im Backlog oder in der täglichen Arbeit mit dem Team. Eine gute Product Roadmap macht also sichtbar, was gerade wichtig ist und was bewusst später oder gar nicht verfolgt wird. Sie hilft dabei, Erwartungen zu managen und Diskussionen auf einer sachlichen Ebene zu führen. Gleichzeitig zeigt sie, dass Produktentwicklung kein Abarbeiten von Listen ist, sondern ein kontinuierlicher Prozess aus Entscheiden, Lernen und Anpassen. Am Ende geht es bei der Product Roadmap um Verantwortung. Wer sie nutzt, übernimmt Verantwortung für Richtung, Fokus und Wirkung des Produkts. Genau dafür ist sie gedacht und genau dann entfaltet sie ihren Wert im Alltag von Product Ownern, Produktmanagern und Führungskräften. Im Gespräch empfehlen Tim & Oliver diese Bücher, Videos und Websites: - Nacho Bassino: Product Direction - C. Todd Lombardo, Bruce McCarthy, Evan Ryan, Michael Connors: Product Roadmaps Relaunched - Video: "Going beyond the 'Now-Next-Later' Roadmap" mit Phil Hornby beim ProductTank Cologne - Website von Phil Hornby: talkingroadmaps.com und die Roadmap Visual Patterns Passende frühere Folgen: - Agile Product Roadmaps - Wie agil ist eine jährliche Roadmap? - Mit mehreren Product Roadmaps arbeiten? - Product Roadmaps in der täglichen Arbeit einsetzen - Vom Projekt- zum Produktmodus

Often times Product Owners and Agile Dev Teams get confused on who owns what when it comes to the product backlog and the sprint backlog. I want to help you figure that part out, but I also want to share some practical ways that you, as a product person, can grow your practice and work in the right backlog.

During this episode of the NPZ Law Show onMirchi New Jersey, attorney David Nachman, Founder and Managing Attorney at NPZ Law Group, explains a key update affecting religious worker visas. He breaks down the history of the R visa, how R-1 status normally works, why the EB-4 green card backlog has created serious problems for religious workers after the five-year limit, and how a new interim rule may allow certain R-1 workers to extendstatus instead of remaining stuck. He also discusses the practical downside:the need for consular processing and the risks associatedwith travel.CONTACT NPZ LAW GROUPINFO@VISASERVE.COM | 201-670-0006 EXT. 104 | WWW.VISASERVE.COM#ReligiousWorkerVisa #R1Visa #EB4#SpecialImmigrant #ImmigrationLaw #USImmigration #GreenCardBacklog#ConsularProcessing #VisaUpdates

Episode 155 of Nintendo Therapy is packed with Switch 2 chaos and cozy Nintendo vibes. We talk DLC, backlog victories, and whether Doug Bowser needs a new name now that he's on Hasbro's board. Then we dig into huge news: Switch 2's record-breaking launch in Japan, Wizard101 unexpectedly dominating the eShop, Dispatch becoming an episodic indie monster, major Mario Wonder and Donkey Kong updates, and how impressive (and important) FF7 Remake Intergrade is on Switch 2. Plus, Year of the Backlog check-ins, Metroid Prime thoughts, and a deep dive into Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team.

We are joined this month by Tommy from Distant Echoes: A Star Wars Podcast and Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge: A Simpsons Gaming Podcast to kickoff the return of the Backlog Challenge! But before we dig through our respective bins of games purchased but not played, let's check in on some of the things we've been reading, watching, and thinking about lately.ReadingMr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play by Anne WashburnReaper Man by Terry PratchettBrigands and Breadknives by Travis BaldreeOzma of Oz by L.

Start The Year With a Clean Backlog - Mike CohnThink outside the box.Do you hate that phrase as much as I do?It's become another overused business cliché, and it bothers me for another reason: Creativity often comes from thinking inside the box.This is especially true in agile story-writing workshops. The difference between a successful story-writing workshop and one that fails to deliver often comes down to a single factor:Whether or not the product owner defines a clear, significant objective: a “box” within which the team can think.Workshops without boundaries often roam across the entire product. Teams may generate a long list of user stories but those stories lack cohesion or purpose. They're hard to prioritize, and even harder to act on. The most productive workshops start with a simple framing statement from the product owner, like: “We're here to think about this specific subset of the product.”That's it. One well-chosen boundary and suddenly the team is aligned, focused, and generating better, more valuable ideas.Early in the product's life, that boundary might be about identifying what's needed to deliver an MVP.Later on, it might center around a Minimum Marketable Feature (MMF), something small enough to ship but valuable enough to matter. When workshops are focused around a meaningful objective, you don't need to hold them every sprint. I typically run them about once a quarter because one well-run session generates a steady flow of high-value stories.As this year closes and a new one begins, it's a great time to schedule a story-writing session. You might even want to bring our trainers in for a Story-Writing Workshop, where we'll work with you to: Set powerful, objective-based boundariesWrite stories that are right-sized and ready to buildBuild a focused backlog that everyone can align around Discover how to kick off the new year with a backlog that's ready to go.Whether you hold your own story-writing workshop or bring us in to help, remember that thinking inside the box is a powerful way to take teams from good to great,How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

I appreciate a lot of Final Fantasy VII--the music is great, the story is surprisingly interesting, and I love the way the game transitions from gameplay to cutscene--but I hate playing so much of it. I've never been a turn-based person and the ATB system hasn't done anything to change that, and then there are all the minigames (and boy are there a lot of minigames). Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the game, I just wish I played it when it originally came out instead of now, almost 30 years later. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

A New Year means new resolutions and for many of us that includes making a pledge to chip away at the ever-growing backlog. Are you going to tackle a new series? Revisit an old classic? Are some of last year's hits on sale for the right price? Or do you need something effervescent to pair with a white meat? Eric, Victor, and special guest John Carson discuss what drives them to check games of the list, and whether that's even something we should be beating ourselves up over.

Welcome to Episode 152 of Nintendo Therapy, a show about the latest Nintendo news, rumors, and a celebration of all things Nintendo.This week, we kick off Year of the Backlog with Kevin finally completing Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater from the Metal Gear Solid Collection Vol. 1. Rather than immediately moving on, the conversation turns into a deep appreciation of why Snake Eater still stands as one of the greatest games ever made. We talk about its tight but content-rich design, incredible immersion, unforgettable boss fights, and the emotional weight of Snake and The Boss. It's a masterclass in prequel storytelling, showing how Big Boss's transformation feels earned in a way few franchises ever pull off.On the Nintendo front, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance joins the GameCube Classics lineup, giving fans another reason to revisit (or finally experience) one of the most beloved entries in the series. We also run through the biggest January 2026 Switch and Switch 2 releases, including major updates, new editions, and long-awaited ports.Harrison leads a discussion on the recent spike in Nintendo 3DS prices, exploring why interest in the system is rising again and how renewed demand for dual-screen experiences could influence Nintendo's future hardware decisions. That leads into a fascinating conversation about voice recognition on Switch 2, sparked by new software from Hitachi. We imagine how voice mechanics could be used in classic Nintendo games and remakes, from Hey You, Pikachu and Nintendogs to Animal Crossing, Brain Age, Luigi's Mansion, and more.The episode's Spotlight focuses on Streets of Rage (#50) and Streets of Rage 2 (#49). We break down why Sega's gritty beat 'em up series still holds up decades later, how it stacks up against Final Fight, and why Streets of Rage 2 is often considered the high point of the genre. From iconic characters and co-op chaos to Yuzo Koshiro's legendary soundtracks, this spotlight is a full-on love letter to one of the most influential brawler series of the '90s.All that and more in Episode 152 of Nintendo Therapy.

As Lord Cognito long predicted, the AI conversation reached a breaking point online when people saw one of the industry's golden children announced that they'll be using generative AI for their game's development. That team is Larian Studios who is responsible for the Divinity franchise alongside the incredible Baldur's Gate 3. The CEO of Larian, Swen Vincke, said that it will be used for mostly pre-production stuff along the lines of whiteboxing or even company e-mails. However, he also let it slip that concept art ideation will be part of that process as an optional tool. Well, social media did not like this at all. It has turned into one of the most split topics to round out 2025. So, where do the Dukes stand? Matty, a longtime critic of AI's usage in development beyond a tool, happens to be a massive Larian fan. Does he bend the knee? What of Lord Cognito who always expected this? Does he blink at such a revelation? Perhaps, it's all overblown. There is a reality where we're years down the line and Larian is on a long list of developers who are all doing the same thing. Time shall tell, but let's chat about what we know for now.
