The Jim Craine Show Steel Pier Stories: Tony Catanoso, Atlantic City Memories and the Alumni Reunion Summary Steel Pier at the Center of the Conversation The episode is anchored in Jim Craine's long connection to Atlantic City and Steel Pier, where he says he worked from 1963 to 1973 in jobs ranging from game barking to running the diving bell and caring for the diving horses. He uses those memories to introduce guest Tony Catanoso, whom he identifies as the current owner and operator of Steel Pier. Their conversation blends personal history with the modern-day operation of the pier. Craine repeatedly describes Steel Pier as formative to his career in entertainment and broadcasting. He also promotes an upcoming Steel Pier alumni reunion for former employees, performers, Tony Grant participants, Ed Hurst participants, and longtime fans of the pier. Tony Catanoso on Today's Steel Pier Tony Catanoso describes a busy summer day at Steel Pier with families enjoying the attractions. He discusses the pier's food outlets, games, rides, helicopter operation, bars, event spaces, and large climate-controlled observation wheel. Catanoso says the wheel is 227 feet tall with 40 gondolas and explains that it can operate in both warm and cooler weather. He also describes weddings, engagements, gender reveals, bar mitzvahs, reunions, corporate outings, and other private events held at the facility. The Ocean Reef Bar, Sandbar, wheel deck, beach access, and views of Atlantic City are highlighted as distinctive parts of the current pier experience. A Family Business and a Long Operating History Catanoso explains that his family came from North Wildwood and that his own path into amusements began through an insurance agency that wrote amusement insurance. He says those contacts led to go-kart projects and eventually to an arrangement at Steel Pier in 1992. According to Catanoso, the family's lease was repeatedly extended and the property was ultimately sold to them in 2011. He says the family is now in its 36th summer operating Steel Pier and believes they are the longest-running operators in the pier's history. Catanoso describes the role as being a torchbearer for an iconic brand and says the stories and memories shared by visitors remain a meaningful part of operating the attraction. Atlantic City Memories, Woodstock, and the Moon Landing Craine uses the interview to revisit several moments from his youth and early working life. He recalls being scheduled at Steel Pier during the Woodstock period and explains that taking a day off in those days could mean losing a seasonal job. He also tells a vivid story about working the diving bell during the moon landing, when the pier was crowded and his boss told him to announce to everyone that people were on the moon. Craine remembers the crowd cheering and connects that memory with the many entertainers who appeared at Steel Pier. Elsewhere in the episode, he talks about attending the Beatles in Atlantic City in 1964, leaving shortly after “Twist and Shout” because of the volume, and remembering the city's rich entertainment history. The Alumni Reunion and Diving-Horse Legacy A major focus of the program is the Steel Pier alumni reunion scheduled for August 23. Craine says former workers, performers, divers, Tony Grant alumni, Ed Hurst participants, and fans are invited, and he mentions several people he hopes will attend. He discusses the history of the diving horses and says a woman who wrote The Last American Diving Horse will be present and selling her book. He also mentions former diving-horse performer Terry McDevitt and describes plans to raise funds connected with the Marine Mammal Stranding Center. The segment emphasizes the reunion as a way to preserve stories from earlier eras of Steel Pier while bringing those communities together again. South Jersey Events, Music, and Community Promotion Beyond the featured interview, Craine fills the episode with South Jersey community announcements, sponsor mentions, music-shop promotion, jokes, and live music. He congratulates the Atlantic City Beach Patrol on winning the South Jersey Lifeguard Championships and promotes an upcoming Beach Patrol alumni gathering. He also mentions events at Gardner's Basin, Wheaton Village, the Ocean City Music Pier, and the Smithville Italian Festival, while repeatedly encouraging listeners to support local businesses. Pleasantville Music Shop serves as the live setting for the broadcast, and Craine discusses its long history, instruments, vinyl, lessons, guitar service, and his own recordings. The episode closes with upcoming guest teases, an invitation to subscribe through BBS Radio TV, and a closing theme centered on music, memories, laughter, and returning for the next show.

Magna Mining CEO Jason Jessup joins Mining Stock Daily to break down a landmark Q2 2026. It was a quarter that saw the company swing from nearly $20 million in the red to positive free cash flow, driven by record tonnage, strong grades, and disciplined cost control at McCreedy West. Jason digs into the exciting R2 Footwall Zone discovery at Levack, where the advancing 2950 Level drift is now within striking distance of what he calls the most exciting exploration target in the company's portfolio, with early mining potentially beginning as early as Q1 2027. He also addresses the higher treatment and refining charges in the quarter, explaining a retroactive contract adjustment with Vale that he expects to normalize — and provide a net benefit — going forward.

Dean Lucas lost his son Lee to a heroin overdose on December 23, 2016. Ten years later, the motorcycle ride he built in Lee's name has raised close to half a million dollars and a wing of a Rochester advocacy center carries his son's name. This August is the last one.In this episode Dean joins Fitz at ROC Vox to walk through all of it. What the Wayne County Sheriff told him days after Lee died about bags deliberately made strong enough to kill. Why he puts his arm around the people selling the drug that took his son. What a decade of turning grief into a fundraiser actually costs, including the crash that comes every year the week after the ride. He also lays out exactly what happens on ride day, where every dollar goes now, and what the line on the back of this year's shirt means. CONNECTLee Lucas Memorial Poker Run → https://leelucasride.com/Father Tracy Advocacy Center → https://www.fathertracycenter.org ROC Vox → https://rocvox.comNew episodes every Tuesday.Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production in Bushnell's Basin, NY.Learn more at https://rocvox.com

R. Greg Adams built a career out of turning niche ideas into national brands, self-publishing Firehouse Cooking three decades ago and landing on Good Morning America, QVC, and Random House along the way. Now he's turning his pen toward something far more personal: a memoir about surviving a 2015 sexual assault by his own doctor, and the years he spent watching police, a district attorney, and a hospital system look away.In this episode he walks through what happened, why the Brighton Police Department, Rochester Police Department, and Monroe County's then-district attorney declined to act, and how a recorded admission from Dr. Gareth Warren eventually helped him win in court and expose that his doctor was never actually board certified. He also talks candidly about the data on male sexual assault survivors, and why he sees survival as a lifelong process rather than a finish line.CONNECT Strong Survivor (preorder) → https://thestrongsurvivor.comSalvatore's Pizza → https://salvatores.comROC Vox → https://rocvox.comNew episodes every Tuesday.Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production in Bushnell's Basin, NY.Learn more at https://rocvox.com

Host John Batchelor and his guests examine how global shipping routes and commodity prices are shifting due to regional instability and environmental extremes like European wildfires. The conversation transitions into a detailed analysis of public resistance toward data centers, highlighting the tension between much-needed local tax revenue and community fears regarding resource consumption. Through a Wall Street Journal quiz, the participants reveal widespread misconceptions about how these facilities impact water and electricity supplies. Finally, the experts critique the reliability of AI tools like Gemini and Claude, noting that while they boost productivity, they can sometimes disseminate foreign misinformation if not carefully vetted.

The Towel and the Basin: The Heart of a Servant – John 13:1–17 In Episode 145 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane begin one of the most intimate and transformative sections of the Gospel of John. In John 13:1–17, Jesus—the King of kings—kneels to wash the feet of His disciples, revealing that true greatness in God's Kingdom is found in humble service. Together, they unpack the significance of this unforgettable moment, exploring what it means to love sacrificially, lead with humility, and serve others with the heart of Christ. Peter's struggle to accept Jesus' act of service also reminds us that following Jesus means learning both to receive His grace and to extend it to others. This episode is an invitation to exchange pride for humility, status for service, and self-centered living for the example Jesus modeled on the night before the cross. As followers of Christ, we're not just called to admire His example—we're called to live it. Who is Jesus inviting me to serve with humility this week, and am I willing to lay down my pride to love like He loved?____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

What if the person with no superpowers, in a world where everyone else has one, turns out to be the most important character in the room? Michael Solis joins Fitz at ROC Vox to talk about Deficient, his YA sci-fi novel set in a near future where super-powered people are the majority and one 15-year-old boy is the last kind of outcast anyone saw coming. The conversation moves well beyond the book: Michael's coming out story, Fitz's experience raising a trans son, what it takes to get your book rights back and build your own press from scratch, and what 20 years responding to Ebola outbreaks and floods in West Africa has to do with writing fiction.In this episode, Michael walks through the ability hierarchy he built for the novel and why he made it as brutal as he did, the personal experiences woven into the characters without ever appearing by name in the text, what happens when the only person who responded right to a coming out said just three words, and why he walked away from humanitarian work and moved to Rochester to run Writers and Books and release his books on his own terms. CONNECTMichael Solis: https://michaelsolisauthor.comWriters and Books: https://wab.orgROC Vox: https://rocvox.comSalvatore's: https://salvatores.comNew episodes every Tuesday.Recorded at ROC Vox in Bushnell's Basin, NY.

Dave Mammano ran Next Step Magazine for 21 years — a print publication for high school students that grew to 17 editions and $5 million in revenue. When print died, he sold it, rebuilt from scratch, survived COVID wiping out his events business, and somehow ended up back on stage doing stand-up comedy. He now travels the country as a keynote speaker teaching businesses how to use humor and levity to grow leadership, culture, and retention. He's also entrepreneur-in-residence at the Golisano Institute and the U of R Simon School's Ain Center for Entrepreneurship.In this episode he gets into selling Next Step after 21 years and what it really feels like to let go of something you built, how he launched the Avanti Entrepreneur Network from nothing, why COVID knocked him down twice, how reviving his stand-up comedy roots turned into a full-time speaking career, what he sees in today's young entrepreneurs that gives him real hope, the value of truly disconnecting (lessons from three weeks in Sicily with no Wi-Fi), and his next big idea, a road trip TV show called The Good Business Tour.CONNECT The David Mammano Show → https://davidmammano.comROC Vox → https://rocvox.comNew episodes of Positive Blatherings drop every Tuesday. Recorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production in Bushnell's Basin, NY.Learn more at https://rocvox.com 

Interview with Troy Boisjoli, CEO of ATHA Energy.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/atha-energy-tsxvsask-63m-funded-explorer-scales-up-2026-drill-program-10101Recording date: 13th July 2026ATHA Energy's 2026 exploration program at the Angilak Uranium Project in Nunavut is delivering early evidence that its uranium system extends well beyond the boundaries of its currently defined deposit. With three drill rigs active across two priority areas, the company has reported an 11.5 metre composite uranium mineralization intersection at Lac 50 West, located four kilometres from the known Lac 50 deposit, and a 37 metre composite intersection at RIB North, the widest result recorded at that target to date. Both results support CEO Troy Boisjoli's description of a district-scale opportunity spanning a 21-kilometre corridor at Lac 50 and an 18-kilometre corridor at RIB, rather than a series of isolated deposits.Management has been clear that 2026 is not a delineation year. Drilling is deliberately spaced between 150 and 500 metres apart, designed to establish continuity of mineralization across the wider system before committing to tighter, resource-defining infill drilling, which the company expects could begin in 2027 if results continue to track as planned. This sequencing is a meaningful signal for investors: near-term news flow is likely to focus on scale and continuity rather than resource ounces, and grade or thickness data should be read in that context.The program is well funded, following a $63 million raise in the first quarter of 2026 led by Queens Road Capital, giving the company a stated 24-month runway. ATHA also holds a broader Nunavut and Athabasca Basin land package that management has flagged as a source of potential future value.For investors, the key consideration is that current figures, including the conceptual 60.8 to 98.2 million pound exploration target at Lac 50, are not a defined mineral resource, and the eventual scale of the opportunity depends on whether this year's step-out drilling can be tied into continuous, economically relevant mineralized zones.—Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/atha-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Disney Springs and Disney's BoardWalk are both getting a major refresh in 2026, and this week the Mouse Chat team walks through every new restaurant, lounge, shop, and attraction worth knowing about — plus when each one opens. At Disney Springs, we dig into Six Ravens, the mysterious savory spin-off from Gideon's Bakehouse (signage is up and it's coming this summer), Morimoto's new Kakigori Kool shaved-ice cart, and LEVEL99 — a 45,000-square-foot, two-story game palace with 60+ challenge rooms opening June 29, 2026 (tickets from $29.99). New retail from Vuori and Columbia Sportswear is on the way too. Over at the BoardWalk, Disney finally confirmed the long-rumored additions: Hurly-Burly, a waterfront lounge with daytime trivia and 21+ live music (filling the gap Jellyrolls left behind), a new Basin bath-and-body shop, and a still-unnamed quick-service restaurant — all starting late 2026. We also cover Good to Go Days for summer, the return of Disney Springs resort-bus verification, and first looks at the upcoming Disney Lakeshore Lodge. Chapters, tips, and the full rundown are in the episode. New shows drop every Monday at 8 AM Eastern — subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify so you never miss one.

Disney Springs and Disney's BoardWalk are both getting a major refresh in 2026 — and this week the Mouse Chat team breaks down every new restaurant, lounge, shop, and entertainment venue worth knowing about. From Gideon's Bakehouse's mysterious savory spin-off to a 45,000-square-foot game palace, plus the long-rumored BoardWalk additions Disney finally confirmed, here's what's coming and when.

[Get a free, no-fee Disney World quote from Pixie Vacations »](https://pixievacations.com/get-a-quote/?utm_source=mousechat&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=july2026) ### Disney Springs — New Food & Dining **Six Ravens (Gideon's Bakehouse savory concept) — signage up, opening this summer.** The strongest "almost open" signal yet: signage is now installed at the former Art of Shaving space in The Landing, just a few doors from the original Gideon's. The signature item is the "Coffyn" — a hand pie with sandwich-style fillings wrapped in a house-made yeast roll (a nod to a medieval European pastry) — paired with smashed potatoes and dips like sweet heat and homemade honey mustard. Drinks include local beers crafted with Orlando's Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig, plus root beer on tap. The name nods to the Tower of London and its legendary guardian ravens. Note for listeners: it's grab-and-go, no reservation, and **not** on the Disney Dining Plan. **Kakigori Kool (Morimoto Asia shaved-ice cart) — summer 2026.** Morimoto Asia is adding a snack cart serving Japan's kakigori shaved-ice dessert with fruity syrups and toppings, right outside the restaurant. *Building your Disney Springs dining hit list?

Tickets start at $29.99 (1.5- and 2.5-hour intervals). It's the chain's fourth location after Natick, MA; Providence, RI; and Tysons, VA. Fun hooks: the first 500 guests opening day get a commemorative pin, and the date was revealed via an Instagram puzzle fans had to decode. **Vuori + Columbia Sportswear (retail).** Athletic apparel brand Vuori opens at Disney Springs this summer alongside LEVEL99 and Six Ravens, and Columbia Sportswear reopens July 24. ### Disney's BoardWalk — New Lounge, Store & Dining (the big one) Disney officially confirmed the long-rumored BoardWalk additions — all opening starting in late 2026 — finally filling in those empty buildings everyone's been speculating about. (Trying to decide where to stay near Epcot and Hollywood Studios? Listen to [Which Disney World Resort is Perfect for You?](https://mousechat.net/which-disney-world-resort-is-perfect-for-you-mouse-chat-podcast/)) **Hurly-Burly (waterfront lounge) — late 2026.** The headliner: a new waterfront lounge inspired by a historic seaside theater. By day it hosts trivia and family-friendly games; each evening it becomes a live-music venue for guests 21+. It fills the live-entertainment gap left by Jellyrolls, which closed in April 2025 after nearly 30 years. Expect coastal-inspired cocktails, light bites, and a rotating lineup of live performers. **Basin (bath & body retail) — late 2026.** The Disney Springs favorite is opening a BoardWalk location for soaps, bath bombs, bath salts, and body butters — with an interactive twist: create custom bath teas, make your own soaps, and personalize purchases with a soap embossing press, all themed to BoardWalk's vintage seaside look. **New quick-service restaurant — TBA.** Disney confirmed a new quick-service spot is planned but hasn't shared theme, menu, or opening date — more expected later this summer. We'll keep you posted. *Want a BoardWalk-area stay (BoardWalk Inn, Beach Club, or the Swan & Dolphin) so you can walk to Epcot?

In this episode, we are joined by Lorna Cole, Louise Bond and Alistair McVittie to discuss their collaboration on the newly published CREW report; Natural Capital and River Basin Management Planning, and what its findings could mean for the future of Scotland's water environment and land use.We explore the report's recommendations, including taking a whole-catchment, natural capital approach to river basin management, to consider the wider landscape and the many benefits healthy ecosystems provide. The conversation covers the evidence behind nature-based solutions as well as the opportunities, trade-offs and challenges associated with implementing them at scale.We also examine the economic implications of changing land use, how the value of environmental improvements can be measured, and what future funding models, including public and private investment, blended finance, and emerging environmental markets could mean for farmers and land managers.Host Harry Fisher, Producer Iain Boyd, Editor Kieron Sim, Executive Producer Kirstyn BlackwoodTimestamps:0:53 – 3:44 intros to speakers and CREW3:45 – 9:08 The report, its recommendations, 5 key elements and why this research is crucial9:09 – 17:05 Different nature-based solutions, co-benefits, and trade-offs17:06 – 21:06 how to quantify costs and value of managing land for wider societal good and future markets21:07 – 32:40 Nature based solutions at scale, stakeholders, and mechanismsResources:FAS Water management resources for farmers: https://www.fas.scot/environment/water-management/FAS Natural Capital podcast: https://www.fas.scot/sounds/natural-capital/CREW Natural Capital and River Basin Management Planning - Protecting and Improving Scotland's Water Environment: https://www.crew.ac.uk/publications/natural-capital-and-rbmpFIRNS - The Facility for Investment Ready Nature in Scotland: https://www.nature.scot/funding-and-projects/firns-facility-investment-ready-nature-scotlandScottish Forum on Natural Capital: https://naturalcapitalscotland.com/Nature Finance Exchange: https://naturefinancex.nature.scot/Farming & Water Scotland: https://www.farmingandwaterscotland.org/For more information, visit www.FAS.scotTwitter: @FASScotFacebook: @FASScotNational Advice HubPhone: 0300 323 0161Email: advice@fas.scot

Deep within Central Africa lies one of the least explored regions on Earth—the Congo River Basin. Stretching across millions of acres of dense rainforest, this mysterious landscape has long been associated with unexplained phenomena, strange lights, and encounters that defy conventional explanation. In this extended episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, Joe and Jennifer dive into chilling reports of UFO sightings, glowing orbs, and unexplained aerial objects witnessed by locals, researchers, and even pilots flying over the Congo Basin. Unlike typical UFO hotspots, this region presents a unique pattern: sightings are often tied directly to the environment itself—hovering over rivers, moving through dense jungle, and appearing in areas far removed from modern civilization. But the mystery doesn't stop in the sky. Witnesses have reported something even more unsettling—encounters with tall, shadow-like figures that seem to appear alongside these lights. These entities are often described as moving unnaturally, as if they are not bound by the same physical rules as humans or animals. In some cases, individuals who approached these lights experienced missing time, disorientation, and a lingering sense that they were being watched. This episode also features immersive storytelling elements, including dramatized "found audio" recordings, a reconstructed lost expedition journal, and a terrifying jungle encounter scene designed to place listeners directly inside the experience. These narrative segments are inspired by real patterns found in eyewitness accounts from the region. Are these sightings evidence of extraterrestrial visitation? Unknown natural phenomena? Or something far older—something tied to the land itself? Throughout the episode, Joe and Jennifer explore multiple theories, from advanced aerial technology to ancient, unexplained forces deeply connected to one of the last truly wild places on Earth. If you're fascinated by UFO encounters, unexplained mysteries, cryptid sightings, and real-world paranormal investigations, this episode will take you deep into a place where answers are scarce—and the questions are far more unsettling. Listener discretion is advised. Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural. Immerse yourself in our expertly crafted episodes, where we delve deep into a wide range of paranormal phenomena, including ghostly hauntings, cryptid sightings, and unexplained mysteries that defy logic.

"Deep Time," a way of understanding the distant past popularized in the late 20th century by the writer John McPhee, changes our perspective on history. When looked at in the context of tectonic movements long-term climate shifts, human affairs can seem small, even insignificant. However, in Deep Time in the Mono Lake Basin: Nature and History Over the Last 10,000 Years (U California Press, 2026), Whittier College professor emeritus Bob Marks explains that people still matter, even within the long sweep of deep time. Rather than shrink human affairs down to nothing, deep time helps us contextualize the places where humans live, die, build societies, and destroy one another.

Welcome to Gospel Rant! Watch me also at DrBillSenyard YouTube channel. Let's walk with Jesus those final steps again. Whirlwind days: Hosanna crowds, waving branches, Jerusalem hope. Yet beneath cheers, fractured—they craved rescuer on their terms. King of imagination, not suffering Servant. Upper room: final meal heavy with meaning. Broken bread. Lifted wine. Betrayer named. Basin water. Son of God washing dusty feet. Departure words. Invisible kingdom. They didn't grasp. Loneliness fogged in. Post‑meal Psalms rise: "Hosanna. Blessed is He who comes." Irony stung—prophetic words, unaware singers. Down Kidron slope. Across the brook. Gethsemane—"olive press." Pressure fitting. Jesus breaks the silence: "Tonight you all fall away." Protests. He knows better. How alone already? Takes Peter, James, and John farther. Past midnight. Twenty hours sleepless. Jesus is beyond tired. "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch." (Matt 26:38) Goes farther. Falls facedown. “My Father, if possible, may this cup be taken from me…” And my Top 10 Prayer #2: “Yet not my will—Yours be done.” Welcome to the Top 10 Prayers of the New Testament. We will see what you think. Your interaction helps this message reach more people! We’d love your feedback: Bill@gospel-app.com Thanks in advance—and enjoy the series!

The 10-year average falls to 166 inches. Here's the year-by-year breakdown:Trail count: 110 (24% beginner, 25% intermediate, 51% expert)Lift count: 13 (1 pulse gondola, 2 high-speed quads, 2 fixed-grip quads, 4 triples, 1 double, 3 carpets)Why I interviewed himLet's start with a superficially troubling number: Taos' long, steady decline in average annual skier visits:That doesn't look so good, especially when laid alongside the long-term increase in national skier visits:Taos not only declined in the context of national skier visits, but also among its peers. In winter 1983-84, Taos drew more skiers (241,000) than Telluride (132,460), Big Sky (136,000), Jackson Hole (177,000), Whitefish (I'm lacking an estimate for that winter, but the ski area then known as “Big Mountain” logged 209,000 skiers in 1980-81 and 170,581 in 1985-86). Taos (dark blue line below), continued to out-duel this group through about the mid-90s before falling off a cliff:So what happened? 1995 Taos, a freeride mecca before freeride was cool, should have been perfectly suited to flourish in a cultural moment when skiers began demanding more interesting terrain than the groomed superhighways that had become the industry's default setting. Sure, Taos was remote and a bit harder to access than, say, Keystone or Park City, but so were Jackson and Whitefish and Big Sky and Telluride. A partial explanation: Taos stopped modernizing. After replacing the Lift 2 double with a fixed-grip quad in 1994, Taos didn't install another new chairlift for 19 years. The first detachable didn't arrive until 2018. The resort banned snowboards until 2008. Meanwhile, Big Sky laced a tram to the summit of Lone Peak in 1995 and started pushing detachable quads up the mountain; the first high-speed quads arrived at Telluride in 1986 and Whitefish in 1989.It's not a perfect narrative – while Jackson Hole rolled out its short Sublette detach in the mid-90s, the mountain didn't install an upper-mountain high-speed chairlift until Casper in 2012. Skier visits went up and up and up all that time, probably due in large part to aggressive improvements at the Jackson Hole airport.Maybe, though, it's as simple as this: banger snow years descended upon Taos – and New Mexico in general – from the late ‘80s through mid-‘90s. It's little surprise that attendance ups-and-downs largely mirror snowfall patterns:But, as the corresponding trendlines show, Taos' skier visits have not declined at the same rate as the mountain's average annual snowfall. And while Jackson's long-term average snowfall has remained relatively constant, attendance has crept steadily upward. Attendance spiked at both mountains when the 2018-19 season brought both plentiful snow and the introduction of the Ikon Pass:Unfortunately, Taos stopped reporting skier visits after the Covid-shortened 2019-20 season, so we have less concrete insight into whether the mountain's recent investments in a reconfigured beginner area and a second detachable on the backside have insulated it from two historically poor snow years. This is why it's nice to have basic visitation data, and why I'm pushing the ski industry to again publicize annual attendance for ski areas occupying public lands (since going live with a chart of 2,406 years of skier visit data for 97 ski areas with 10 or more years of attendance available, I'm up to 2,822 years across 108 ski areas, and I have a total of 3,802 years of data across 184 active U.S. ski areas for which I could find at least one year of attendance).We do know this: Taos doesn't want to return to the world of 300,000-plus skier visits. Somewhere between 250,000 and 275,000 is the “right number for the experience we want Taos to have,” Kelly tells us on the pod. Meaning: fewer skiers spread via a modern lift network is a better business than 364,000 skiers funneling onto double chairs. This flips the busiest-equals-best narrative that made skier-visit counts a 20th-century bragging point. I've heard the same logic articulated by the leaders of Killington, Waterville Valley, and other ski areas that have created a better business even with fewer skiers on their mountains. Jackson Hole, too, halted its relentless upward surge – that 2020-21 dip was deliberate, as the mountain exited Ikon Base and implemented a reservation system.This approach makes sense to me. With U.S. skier visits surging (until this year) and an Ikon or Epic pass in every pocket, no one wants to brag about being busy anymore. Space is the new volume. Social media can still transform one bad liftline into an eternal meme, but at least most skiers on the ground will have a better day most of the time than they probably would have 30 years ago.What doesn't make sense to me is why, in a less-is-more era, ski area operators have suddenly decided that skier visits should be guarded like Fort Knox. If fewer skiers is a good thing and a stated goal, why hide the numbers? The resorts ought to just say “Hey we've deliberately reduced our annual skier count from 300,000 to 250,000 [or whatever] to create a better mountain for you.” Instead, this secrecy around volume just looks cagey - if national skier visit numbers are up, then why should skiers just believe ski areas when they say “trust us, it's better now,” and offer no data to support it? Perception is reality, and today's skiing zeitgeist, as channeled by social media, tells us that American skiers perceive busier mountains today than they did a decade ago.But I'm getting off track. Since Louis Bacon bought Taos in 2013, he's funded an almost-complete renovation of what had become America's most decrepit destination ski resort. I don't think any mountain operating on U.S. Forest Service lands has more completely remade itself in the past decade (rapidly changing Big Sky, Deer Valley, and Powder Mountain operate on private property). Glimmering new but reset to 1970s volume, Taos is beautifully positioned to tap a skiing public that's burned-out on Colorado and Utah crowds but accustomed to modern lifts and snowmaking.What we talked aboutTaos as a family ski mountain; last winter's Chair 7 upgrade and custom terminals; owner Louis Bacon's mission to “improve everything without changing a thing”; why Taos changed from Skytrac to parent company Leitner-Poma for its newer lifts; Taos' great base-area reorganization; the story behind the Free Tacos run; a green run from the top of every lift other than the fierce Kachina triple; Taos' massive evolution since 2015; whether the mountain is committed to long-term independence; the founding Blake family's legacy and presence at Taos today; executing rapid development on Forest Service land; [VIDEO BONUS: Cat photobombing]; running Taos with the context of having worked at also-independent Telluride; becoming a skier growing up in Nashville, Tennessee; Telluride's evolution from semi-affordable to gigantic housing puzzle; employee housing at Taos; the logic behind the proposed base-to-base gondola and navigating local opposition; thoughts on the evolution of lifts 2 and 8; preserving parts of the hike-to ski experience; Taos' evolution after the Kachina Peak lift; lift 7A; the Minnesotas glades from the masterplan; avalanche mitigation; old-school boot-packing; parking lot evolutions; an ideal annual skier visit number and why that number is below historic highs; and getting to Taos.What I got wrong* When we discuss the wood-paneled terminals on Taos' new Lift 7, I ask if they're thematically related to the “wood RFID gates.” This is a reference to an earlier conversation that I cut, about Taos finally installing RFID for the 2025-26 ski season (the gates carry a wood theme). * I said that the trees skier's left of the Pioneer chair were not a named run, but they in fact are, and “Free Tacos” has a pretty awesome story behind it.* I accidentally asked Kelly to, “lay out the housing landscape for Telluride” but meant to say “Taos.” I didn't catch this in real time, but Kelly – who spent several years at Telluride before moving to Taos in 2015 – caught it and course-corrected.Questions I wished I'd askedTaos' 2010 USFS masterplan proposed a 7,045-foot-long, 2,363-vertical-foot detach quad that would have run parallel to Lift 1 to the top of Lift 2:We did, however, discuss the proposed 545-vertical-foot, 991-foot-long Ridge Lift off of Lift 8, and why Taos nixed that machine from its latest MDP:Why you should (or shouldn't) ski TaosTaos, like Jackson Hole or Snowbird or Palisades Tahoe, has a toughguy reputation. The place ripples with hike-to chutes and glades. To calm visitors shocked by the vertical bump run rocketing skyward beneath Chair 1, Taos to erected this base-area sign decades ago:The sign refers to the infamous Al's Run, which typically ripples with moguls, but was closed on my last visit, in March 2025 (Lift 1 was open):Taos certainly has plenty of nasty. The terrain ripping off the Kachina Peak triple is among the steepest inbounds terrain I'm aware of in America. But what shocked me about the place was how approachable it was for my then-8-year-old son, a solid but very intermediate skier. Every chair other than Kachina offers a top-to-bottom green – and some mostly mellow blues – making Taos one of the better family mountains in America.A lot of the solid-black terrain sits above the lifts, and requires a short, easy hike. If you've ever humped up Catherine's at Alta or Spanky's Ladder on Blackcomb, the ascent off of Lift 2 over to Highline Ridge or West Basin Ridge isn't much longer, and it flattens out considerably after the short incline. Unlike East Wall at A-Basin or Highlands Bowl at Aspen Highlands, this is hike-up terrain that's approachable for people who (like me), live at sea level and only like going up the mountain on machines. The runs are steep, and solo missions are discouraged, but the easy-in and proximity to lifts means a strong skier could reasonably expect to tuck a half-dozen hike-up laps into an afternoon. Here I am huffing and puffing right off Chair 2:Dang those trees are steep even right off the jump. Crunch crunch crunch:Go up a bit higher, and things get Lord of The Rings pretty fast:Taos' only real buyer-beware statistic is its insane base elevation of 9,350 feet, which makes everything, especially sleep, a bit more challenging. That altitude is actually a bit lower than the bases at Copper (9,712) or Breck (9,600). I start to have trouble functioning around 8,000 feet, which is the Vail (8,120), Snowmass (8,110), Snowbird (7,760), and Mammoth (7,953) range. So maybe see how you do at one of those burners before leveling up above 9,000 feet. Or at least arrive knowing that Taos will try punching you in the face. Hydrate and lay off the beer bongs for a day or two. You'll be fine.Podcast NotesOn Stadeli liftsWe've got 16 of these guys left across 10 U.S. ski areas, including Lift 7A at Taos:On the character of old chairliftsI wrote last year that U.S. ski lifts' overall design aesthetic has deteriorated with the decline in number of manufacturers and a tacit emphasis on technology over beauty.And I love old Riblets and Halls and Yans, but sentimentalism that locks skiing in a time capsule ultimately stalls long-term growth and invites disaster-by-disintegration. Rather than fight to live in a museum, I've adopted a quest mentality to ride as many of these dinosaurs as I can before they go extinct:On Taos' base-area fliparoundOn Taos' current masterplanHere's the conceptual overview of Taos' 2021 U.S. Forest Service master development plan:The major unrealized part of this is the base-to-base gondola - here's the most recent plan for that lift:On “class A avalanche mountains” with more than 200 slidepathsKelly mentioned that Taos' more than 200 slidepaths earn it the designation of a Class A avalanche mountain. I of course went looking for a list of U.S. ski areas so classified, and of course did not find one. In a rare exercise in self-restraint, however, I also did not create one. A quick Google search suggests that that such a list would include Alta, Kirkwood, and Stevens Pass alongside Taos. I would also assume that Alpine Meadows, Palisades, Mammoth, Snowbird, Big Sky, Silverton, and Crested Butte are among the most avy prone. That is not a complete list or an attempt at one so please don't write that I “forgot about” some particularly avalanche-prone mountain that I'm not trying very hard to remember.On The Storm's first Taos podcastThe Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

In this chilling extended episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, Joe and Jennifer take you far beyond the surface of the jungle and into the unknown layers of sky, land, and water where unexplained phenomena continue to defy logic. Part 2, "What Lives Beneath the Congo River," dives into the darkest and most unsettling aspect of this region—the water itself. The Congo River is not just one of the longest rivers in the world, but also one of the deepest, with vast underwater trenches, powerful unseen currents, and entire sections that remain largely unmapped. It is here that some of the strangest reports originate. Witnesses from local communities, explorers, and travelers have described glowing objects entering and exiting the river without disturbing the surface. These lights, often silent and controlled, suggest something far beyond natural explanation. Some accounts describe the water itself reacting—glowing, vibrating, or shifting—as if something is moving beneath it. But the mystery goes deeper. This episode explores terrifying stories of boats found abandoned with no signs of struggle, as well as encounters where individuals witnessed massive shapes moving below the surface. Through immersive storytelling, including cinematic jungle and river encounters, a haunting "found audio" reconstruction, and a disturbing follow-up account of a man who may have been psychologically changed after an encounter, this episode places you directly inside the experience. Joe and Jennifer also examine indigenous perspectives, where the land and river are not seen as separate elements, but as part of a living system. In these traditions, the Congo Basin is alive—breathing, aware, and connected. Some believe that the low hum reported during sightings is not mechanical or environmental, but the sound of the land itself. Could these lights, creatures, and encounters all be connected? Are they evidence of extraterrestrial activity, unknown natural phenomena, or something far older—something that exists within the environment itself? As the episode unfolds, the lines between UFO sightings, cryptid encounters, and spiritual beliefs begin to blur, leading to a chilling possibility: what if this isn't a series of isolated events, but a single presence moving between sky, forest, and water? If you're fascinated by UFOs, unexplained disappearances, deep jungle mysteries, and real-world paranormal encounters, this episode will take you into one of the last true unknowns on Earth—where what you can't see… may be the most dangerous part.

(Exodus 30:17-21) The brazen laver, the brass washbasin placed between the altar and the Holy Place, points directly to Jesus and the ongoing work of sanctification. Though our salvation is finished and received once at the cross, sanctification is a continual process that requires confession, self-examination, and reliance on Christ's cleansing power.

As rivers in the west fill with spring runoff, we begin a series of episodes with various river hydrologists from four River Forecast Centers across the country. In this episode, we talk with the Northwest River Forecast Center in Oregon to learn about this past winter's precipitation and what flows will emerge this spring and summer. This episode is focused on the Columbia River Basin. Our guest is Amy Burke, a river hydrologist from the NWRFC. She explains the impacts of the Atmospheric Rivers and the March heat dome. Following this episode will be companion episodes for many of the river basins popular with river runners.   GUESTS Amy Burke Northwest River Forecast Cente River Forecast Centers NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NWS National Weather Service   SPONSORSNRS NRS PFD for Whale Foundation Whale Foundation   PREVIOUS EPISODES ON RIVER FLOW FORECAST2024 Snowpack & River Flow - Apple Podcasts 2024 Snowpack & River Flow - Spotify 2023 Western Snowpack & River Flow -  Apple Podcasts 2023 Western Snowpack & River Flow - SpotifyAtmospheric Rivers 101 - Apple Podcasts Atmospheric Rivers 101 - Spotify THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteRunoff signup (episode newsletter)InstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree

Rizz is officially on vacation, which means the rest of the crew is left unsupervised—and honestly, that feels like a mistake already. This daily podcast kicks off with the realization that “Dad's out of town,” and yes… the energy immediately shifts into full chaos mode.Of course, the timing couldn't be more on-brand because it's 4/20, so naturally the show leans into it with questionable enthusiasm. There's talk of THC drinks, dispensary adventures, and whether building a treehouse inside the studio is a good idea (it's not, but that won't stop them from discussing it like it is). The crew debates the ultimate 420 playlist, dives into cannabis culture, and somehow makes it educational… ish.Weekend recaps spiral quickly. Scott casually mentions holding a raccoon like it's a normal Saturday activity. Lern is out performing and then immediately switches into Coachella couch critic mode—rocking what can only be described as the “Adam Sandler festival collection.” Meanwhile, Rafe is out in Texas living his best barbecue life, spending what can only be described as “a small car payment” on brisket and sides, and somehow turning a TSA pat-down into a missed celebrity moment with Brooks & Dunn.And then… there's the flight story. Moon shares what might be the most aggressively disgusting travel experience ever, sitting next to someone whose smell forced him into full “face pressed against the airplane window” survival mode. It's vivid. It's haunting. It's everything you don't want to imagine… but absolutely will.Between Coachella livestream obsessions, music talk, ridiculous travel stories, and the general vibe of “we probably shouldn't be left alone,” this daily podcast delivers exactly what you'd expect from a Riz-less show: zero structure, maximum entertainment, and just enough questionable decision-making to keep things interesting.Riz may be gone… but the chaos?
