This week on "Talk About Las Vegas With Ira," Ira welcomes Alan Snel, founder and publisher of LVSportsBiz.com, for an insightful conversation about the business of sports, transportation, and the rapid evolution of Las Vegas as a global sports destination. Alan discusses how Governor Joe Lombardo's widely publicized failure to come to a complete stop at a red light unexpectedly sparked a broader conversation about bicycle safety throughout Southern Nevada—a cause that is deeply personal to him after being struck by cars two different times, including a an incident four years ago. He explains why rolling through stop signs has become far too common and why improving awareness benefits everyone who shares the road. The conversation also dives into the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority's major investment in Formula 1, including its newly approved ten-year sponsorship agreement worth $10 million annually. Alan examines both the advantages and concerns surrounding the deal, along with the F1's road safety campaign tied to Formula 1. Ira and Alan also discuss the latest progress on the Athletics' future Las Vegas ballpark, why Alan believes the team's biggest challenges are currently on the field rather than at the construction site, and how the stadium project continues to move forward smoothly. Alan also reflects on founding LVSportsBiz.com in 2017 and shares his vision for what's next as Las Vegas continues its remarkable rise as one of the world's premier sports and enter-tainment destinations. Whether you're a sports fan, Las Vegas enthusiast, cyclist, or interested in the business behind major sporting events, this episode offers an informed look at the forces shaping the city's future.

A look at bicycles, safety, best places to ride, La Crosse’s infrastructure and what’s next for the city with Robbie Young and Andrew Ericson. Robbie Young, owner of Coulee Bicycle Co. in Onalaska, and Andrew Ericson both serve on the city’s Bike-Pedestrian Committee. They stopped in the WIZM studio this past week for the Rick Solem Show to discuss two public comment “open house” coming up on the city’s Bike-Ped Master Plan. Along with that, we discussed practical advice surrounding e-bikes, where to ride, effective bike locks and why you shouldn’t buy a helmet on Temu. In this episode: The Master Plan Living Document: Why the city is introducing a few minor edits to the long-term network vision, including adding the forgotten Goose Green Trail footprint back onto the map. The U-Lock vs. “String” Dilemma: Why cheap cable locks are basically pieces of string to a thief with bolt cutters, and how to properly secure a frame and front wheel to a robust street rack. Navigating the Blue Bridges: The real rules of riding the sidewalk versus taking the road shoulder when commuting between Minnesota and downtown La Crosse. The King Street Greenway Idea: Rick shares a near-biff on a dark, pouring night—highlighting the absolute necessity of rechargeable front and rear bike lights around modern traffic calming circles. No Mini Bikes on the Cycle Track: The growing issue of kids riding high-powered, pedal-less electric motorcycles that bypass standard Class 1-3 definitions, presenting a tricky enforcement issue for local police and parents. The 3-Class E-Bike Breakdown: A quick explainer from Robbie on Class 1 (pedal-assist), Class 2 (throttle up to 20 mph), and Class 3 (pedal-assist up to 28 mph), and why Class 1 is the ideal choice for youth mobility. Upcoming Events: Thursday, July 23 (2:30- 4:30 p.m.) — Myrick Park Bike Rodeo: Hosted alongside the county’s Safe Routes to School team, this free event is packed with skill-building activities, safety checks, and an introduction to traffic laws to help youth riders build independent skills. Tuesday, July 28 (Noon-1 p.m. & 5-6 p.m.) — Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Amendment Open Houses: Held at the La Crosse Public Library Main Branch. Residents are invited to review updated maps and provide direct input on potential changes to the city’s connectivity network to help ensure robust implementation and flexibility moving forward.

Bhaskar Sunkara grew up in Delhi, India, and moved to the states when he started working. He has lived in San Fransisco for several decades now, and has spent a lot of his professional life building systems (infrastructure, observability and now, analytics). His prior startup, AppDynamics, was eventually acquired by Cisco. In general, he stays curious about how things work, and likes to deconstruct systems to figure out how they work. Outside of tech, he is a big sports fan, enjoying football, baseball, cricket and basketball. In fact, he grew up watching Michael Jordan and the bulls.Bhaskar noticed that business teams were drowning in dashboards, and as such, were not sure how to take the next steps in the business. He and his team realized that what people needed was not a retroactive view, but a proactive one - something more akin to a 24x7 analyst.This is the creation story of Bicycle AI.SponsorsUnblockedTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiLinkshttps://bicycle.ai/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhaskarsunkara/Our Sponsors:* Check out Cash App and use my code CASHAPP10 for a great deal: https://cash.app* Check out Plaud AI and use my code CODESTORY for a great deal: https://plaud.aiAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

After visiting the Freewheel Bicycle Cooperative, he was able to build himself a free bicycle. A bicycle meant mobility, and mobility meant he could hold down a job. Elijah served as executive director of that same Freewheel shop until 2020. His latest project involves collecting donated bicycles and shipping them for kids to use in Africa. Elijah McCloskey joined the Monday Buzz on July 13, 2026.

Peter is joined by Gordon Hobbis, who now, in 'retirement', runs his own bicycle museum in Maple Ridge. Gordon is the son of Cap Hobbis, founder of Caps Bicycles of BC — once the largest chain of bike dealerships in Canada. Gordon takes us on a wild ride linking early two-wheel transport to climate disruption following the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora, and then brings us into the modern era: how bike retail changes with online shopping, massive model variety, and the explosion of e-bikes. We also dig into Canadian bike manufacturing history including how tariffs protected local brands, how free trade reshaped the market, and why large-scale bicycle manufacturing largely disappeared in Canada. Also: Gordon's research trips to Davis, California, where the first U.S. bike lanes opened in 1969; the rise and fall and rebirth of bicycling in China; and how the bicycle revolutionized dating and helped women transcend restrictive social rules. Finally, Gordon explains how a bike refurbishment charity and mechanic training led to Western Canada's only bike museum, in Maple Ridge, BC.Did we say it was a wild ride? We're just picking up speed! And on a replica 1888 Penny Farthing it's seven feet down to the ground ... so hang on to your riding cap.**************Visit the Two Wheeled Time Machine Museum HERE.

Most e-commerce leaders worry about driving demand. Nora Arzoumanian had the opposite problem: customers were ready to buy, but there wasn't enough inventory to go around. Nora Arzoumanian joined Specialized Bicycle Components Canada at what might have been the worst possible time to launch an e-commerce business. The pandemic bike boom had emptied inventory, supply chains were a mess, and the newly launched e-commerce site had almost none of the infrastructure needed to grow. She had to build the operation from the ground up.Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they explore what it takes to build an e-commerce business inside an established retail brand. Nora shares how Specialized Canada navigated inventory shortages, built digital marketing programs from scratch, and balanced the often-competing priorities of e-commerce growth and brick-and-mortar retail partners.One of the most interesting themes throughout the conversation is that the biggest friction in e-commerce often isn't on the website at all. It's inside the organization. Nora explains why growing an online channel requires leadership buy-in, difficult conversations about inventory allocation, and constant education around how digital influences both online and in-store sales. She also shares lessons from scaling influencer marketing, adapting global campaigns for Canadian consumers, and operating a business where seasonality means demand can completely disappear during the winter months.Key Actionable Takeaways:The biggest e-commerce friction is often internal, not technical - Launching an online channel requires more than a website. Leaders must align on inventory allocation, budgets, staffing, and long-term commitment before growth can happen.Quality beats quantity in influencer marketing - After managing dozens of micro-influencers, Nora found greater success working with a smaller group of creators who consistently produced strong content and delivered results.Treat e-commerce as part of the customer journey, not a separate channel - Online inventory and product information don't just drive online purchases. They influence research, store visits, and brand perception long before a customer checks out.Want more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences?

Celebrate Donald Duck's 50th birthday with a trip back to Disneyland in 1984! This episode of Sent from Disneyland begins with a postcard mailed during the opening weekend of Donald's anniversary celebration, where the sender excitedly mentions attending Donald's birthday party. That message leads into the story of Disneyland's "Goin' Quackers" celebration, complete with a special ceremony in Town Square, appearances by Scrooge McDuck, Daisy, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Ludwig Von Drake, and dozens of Disney characters, plus a birthday parade unlike any other in the park's history. A second vintage postcard featuring Mickey Mouse rescuing Donald Duck from the Jungle Cruise hippos provides the perfect transition into a closer look at the anniversary parade. We explore the colorful birthday floats, oversized present boxes, rare character appearances, and the television special hosted by Dick Van Dyke that brought the celebration to audiences across the country. The episode also pays tribute to the legendary Clarence Nash, who voiced Donald Duck for more than five decades, and discusses how animator Tony Anselmo carried Donald's unmistakable voice into a new generation. To wrap up the show, an incoming postcard featuring seashells and the new 2026 Bicycle with Flower Basket stamp inspires a behind-the-scenes look at podcast production—from battling tongue twisters during recording sessions to the unexpected research discoveries that keep nearly six years of Sent from Disneyland episodes fresh and full of new stories.

On this episode of Fifty Shades of Green, Adam Lake and Katie Lanegran dive into the intersection of theatre and climate with Molly Braverman, Executive Director of the Broadway Green Alliance. If you love Broadway — or care about practical climate action — this conversation reveals how the theatrical world backstage and onstage is being transformed to reduce emissions, cut waste, and inspire audiences.Molly explains Broadway Green Alliance's two-part mission: make theatre operations more sustainable (lower emissions, boost circularity, change backstage practices) and use the cultural power of Broadway to reach audiences with climate solutions. She walks us through concrete, replicable programs that show sustainability can be both creative and cost-effective — and often a better business decision.Highlights from the episode:Green Captains: A volunteer program with over 1,600 green captains across Broadway, touring productions, colleges, unions, and community theatres. These sustainability champions receive department-specific toolkits and one-on-one support to implement changes that fit each show's needs, from stage management to props.Rechargeable batteries at Wicked: A striking example of impact — Wicked moved from 15,000 single-use alkaline batteries per year to 96 rechargeable batteries, dramatically reducing e-waste and costs while maintaining show safety.LED marquees: A Broadway-wide transition from incandescent bulbs to LEDs has saved over 10,000 tons of carbon to date and delivered substantial financial savings while preserving the iconic look of Times Square.Front-of-house and dressing room changes: From reusable glassware and reusable “sippy” cups to composting in dressing rooms, Molly shares how small visible shifts reduce waste and normalize sustainable behavior for audiences and performers alike.Circular programs and collections: BGA runs specialty collections (flowers and vases, instrument strings, binders and props) partnering with organizations like TerraCycle, D'Addario, Materials for the Arts, and local florists to keep materials in use across the community.Binder lending library: A Midtown lending system for binders (complete with library slips) to reduce single-use purchases for readings and rehearsals — a charming example of theatre's inherently reuse-friendly culture.Audience engagement & storytelling: BGA leverages Broadway's reach — from Earth Month concerts in Times Square to livestreamed events — to educate and inspire audiences. Molly describes using existing shows to “tell climate stories” and creating short climate-themed pieces (e.g., a 30-minute “Climate Talk” with showtune puns) to meet people where they are.Global connections: BGA collaborates with international counterparts (Julie's Bicycle, Theatre Green Book) to share best practices and amplify the performing arts sector's climate leadership worldwide.How to get involved: Molly invites theatre professionals, students, and fans to join BGA's free membership, follow @BroadwayGreenAlliance on social, sign up for the quarterly newsletter, attend public drives in Times Square, or support local theatres by asking what they're doing to be greener.Throughout the episode, Adam, Katie, and Molly keep the chat lively, full of theatre nerd energy and practical optimism. Whether you're a stage manager curious about digitizing paperwork, a performer wanting to start a compost routine, a fan wondering about reusable cups, or a student pursuing theatre and climate studies, this episode shows there's a place for you in the movement — and that “every job is a climate job.”Find out more at BroadwayGreen.com or follow Broadway Green Alliance on Instagram.

Send us Fan MailBob and I sat down for a pretty healthy "second round" to wrap up his career. About a week later he texts me and says, "I can't believe I totally forgot to mention the worst call I've ever had! It included dead bodies, animals, and it dragged on for so long I had to receive several IVs for hydration to make it through."He came back a third time and I managed to find a nice little place to squeeze this story in. Listen in and see if you can tell...I appreciate Bob's friendship over the last 30 years. Our friendship is much like many other of my law enforcement buddies.

In this episode of the Women Emerging podcast's Journey to Leadership series, Julia Middleton speaks with writer, social entrepreneur and Obama Leader Europe, Mevan Babakar, about a journey she never imagined would be described as leadership. Born in Baghdad, Mevan spent five years as a child refugee after her family fled Saddam Hussein's genocide of the Kurds. As she moved across borders and languages, she found herself translating not only words, but systems, cultures and opportunities for the people around her. Looking back, she can now see those moments as acts of leadership, even though she did not recognise them as such at the time. Together, Julia and Mevan explore what leadership looks like beyond titles and hierarchy. They discuss community, belonging, trust and the many ways people step forward when something needs doing. Mevan reflects on her work in technology, fact-checking and democracy, and why some of society's biggest challenges require more than quick fixes. The conversation also explores the relationship between intellect and instinct, and what happens when the work we do no longer aligns with what we know to be true. Drawing on her experiences at Full Fact and Google, Mevan shares why paying attention to both mind and body can be essential when making difficult decisions. Throughout the episode, she returns to a powerful idea: leadership is not reserved for a select few. It is something people step into every day, often long before they recognise it in themselves. This episode will resonate with anyone interested in leadership, women leading, social impact, community building, belonging, resilience, personal growth and finding the confidence to take up space.About the Guest: Mevan Babakar is a writer and technologist born in Baghdad to Kurdish refugee parents. She built award-winning AI fact-checking tools as Deputy CEO of Full Fact and later led information quality work at Google. In 2023, she she was named an Obama Leader for Europe. Her debut children's book, The Bicycle, was inspired by reuniting with the aid worker who gave her a bike as a refugee 25 years earlier.

In this session from DX Annual, Christopher Sanson, Product Lead, AI Developer Experience, and Madison Capps, Engineering Manager, Infrastructure at Airbnb, challenge some of the most common assumptions about AI. Is AI primarily about replacing humans? Do organizations need mandates to drive adoption? And are the productivity gains really as small as some studies suggest?Using examples from Airbnb's own AI journey, they share how the company achieved widespread adoption of agentic AI through AirChat, community enablement, and internal tooling rather than top-down mandates. They also discuss the impact AI is having on developer productivity, how non-developers are increasingly using coding tools, and how teams are rethinking product development in an AI-first world.Finally, Madison takes a deeper look at the infrastructure powering Airbnb's AI strategy, including AirChat CLI, the AirChat SDK, and AirChat Remote, along with the company's vision for asynchronous agent workflows and the next generation of AI-powered development.Where to find Christopher Sanson:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christophersanson Where to find Madison Capps:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/madison-capps-66950625In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(01:37) Myth #1: AI is about replacing humans(03:22) Myth #2: You need mandates to drive AI adoption(05:21) AirChat, agentic AI, and Airbnb's adoption strategy(08:07) Myth #3: AI has little impact on productivity(09:33) Airbnb's increase in coding time and PR throughput(14:20) Myth #4: AI coding tools are just for coders(15:39) How non-developers are using coding tools(17:24) Rethinking product development in an AI-first world(20:30) Myth #5: Vibe coding isn't coding(22:16) Unsolved problems in agentic AI tooling and how Airbnb is addressing them(26:30) Airbnb's overall AI philosophy in practice(29:15) Using agentic AI to accelerate code migrations(30:18) AirChat SDK: How Airbnb enables teams to build AI-powered applications(33:17) AirChat Remote and asynchronous agent workflows(36:07) Predictions for what's nextReferenced:• Airbnb• Steve Jobs's Bicycles for the Mind • Jennifer St Pierre • Justin Reock• AI-generated merged code holds steady at ~30%• Andrej Karpathy's post on X

Cycling is an integral part of everyday life in many countries, while in Australia it is not yet used as a daily means of transport on a wider scale. “People on Bicycles” is committed to teaching people of all ages how to cycle safely and confidently and thus promote a sustainable cycling culture. An interview with founder and managing director Christina Neubauer discusses the idea behind the organization, her personal motivation and the significance of the moment when people really learn to ride a bicycle for the first time. - Radfahren ist in vielen Ländern ein fester Bestandteil des Alltags, während es in Australien vielerorts noch nicht selbstverständlich als tägliches Verkehrsmittel genutzt wird. Die Initiative „People on Bicycles“ setzt sich dafür ein, Menschen jeden Alters das sichere und selbstbewusste Radfahren näherzubringen und so eine nachhaltige Radkultur zu fördern.

The Monkey steels a bicycle and rides it back to the jungle. He's surprised when the Bear rides off on it - and then loses it. Meanwhile, the little girl whose bike has been stolen is very sad... and cross. And the Bear is angry because she thinks he was the one who stole it.
In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes Dan Saks from New York City to celebrate his joyful new picture book, On Our Bikes. Dan shares how the story began as an echo song, "I Got a Bicycle," on his kids' music podcast Noodle Loaf, and how his love of life on two wheels—and riding with his kids—pedaled its way onto the page. Jed and Dan swap stories about city biking in Boston and New York, the tensions between drivers and cyclists, and the pure joy of rolling through town on a perfect spring day. Dan describes memorable family rides across the Brooklyn Bridge for dumplings in Chinatown and how food destinations often become the playful motivation for longer rides with his kids. The conversation then turns to Dan's rich musical life: his work as a music therapist, his long history in bands, and the way nearly all his books are connected to songs. He explains how music therapy can reach people with memory loss or speech challenges in powerful ways, and Jed adds moving personal stories—from his mother's dementia to witnessing Stevie Wonder calm an angry crowd with a call for love and understanding. Later in the episode, Jed is joined by returning guests Dr. Sam and JL McCready to talk about their delightful new picture book Escapees, a playful interstellar adventure about runaway peas, creativity, collaboration, and the joy of making stories that truly connect with kids and families.

When a Sibling Is the Problem: Growing Up in Abuse, Surviving Trauma, and Breaking the Cycle. From Childhood Abuse to Adult Freedom: Nathaniel Allenby's Extraordinary Journey. When people think about childhood abuse, they often imagine abusive parents or neglectful caregivers. What many don't realize is that one of the most common forms of family violence comes from an unexpected source: a sibling. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #Free #Podcast #Radio For Nathaniel Allenby, the abuse began at home and followed him throughout much of his life. What started as mental, physical, and emotional abuse from a sibling eventually spilled over into his experiences at school and continued to impact him well into adulthood. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Today, Allenby is an author, entrepreneur, adventurer, and entertainer. But his journey to becoming an independent and free adult was anything but easy. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. On a recent episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, Allenby shared his remarkable story of survival, healing, and personal transformation. When a Sibling Is the Problem: Growing Up in Abuse, Surviving Trauma, and Breaking the Cycle. The Hidden Reality of Sibling Abuse "Sibling abuse completely changed my life," Allenby explained. Many families dismiss aggressive behavior between brothers and sisters as normal childhood rivalry. However, experts increasingly recognize that sibling abuse is a serious issue that can have lifelong consequences. The show is inspiring audiences through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, iHeartradio and and many Podcast platforms. Research suggests sibling abuse is one of the most common forms of family violence in the United States, affecting millions of children every year. Unlike ordinary disagreements, abuse involves a significant imbalance of power and repeated harmful behavior. Examples include: Physical violence such as hitting, kicking, or punching Psychological abuse including intimidation, humiliation, and threats Sexual coercion or unwanted sexual behavior Emotional manipulation designed to control another sibling Unfortunately, many victims suffer in silence because family members often view the behavior as simply "kids being kids." How Childhood Trauma Carries Into Adult Life The effects of sibling abuse rarely disappear when childhood ends. When a Sibling Is the Problem: Growing Up in Abuse, Surviving Trauma, and Breaking the Cycle. For Allenby, the emotional wounds followed him into school and eventually into adulthood. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. Mental health professionals have found strong links between childhood abuse and adult struggles with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, complex trauma, and relationship difficulties. "Growing up in abuse affects how you see yourself and how you see the world," Allenby said. Like many survivors, he found himself carrying emotional scars that shaped his decisions, confidence, and ability to trust others. Yet his story was far from over. Mugged in London at Age 22 At twenty-two years old, Allenby found himself facing another traumatic experience. While traveling in London, he was mugged and left in shock. For many people, such an event would reinforce fears and distrust already created by years of abuse. Instead, it became one more chapter in a larger story of resilience. Rather than allowing trauma to define him, Allenby began searching for a different path forward. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. When a Sibling Is the Problem: Growing Up in Abuse, Surviving Trauma, and Breaking the Cycle. A Bicycle, a Friend, and a Life-Changing Opportunity Sometimes life changes because one person believes in you. Allenby's turning point came when his close friend Dan made an unusual offer. He offered Allenby a one-way ticket to Europe and promised him a bicycle upon arrival. What followed became the foundation for a journey that would transform his life. Together, the two friends traveled thousands of miles across Europe, often with little money, uncertain where they would sleep or find their next meal. "It wasn't just a trip," Allenby explained. "It became a journey of self-discovery." The Cycle of Kindness Those experiences eventually inspired Allenby's acclaimed book, The Cycle of Kindness. The book chronicles a ten-month adventure that covered approximately 7,500 miles through Europe, including Germany, the Pyrenees Mountains, and numerous remote locations. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. When a Sibling Is the Problem: Growing Up in Abuse, Surviving Trauma, and Breaking the Cycle. Along the way, Allenby encountered incredible generosity from strangers. His story includes: Being robbed in London Dumpster diving for survival Sneaking into castles Participating in climate activism Enduring freezing temperatures while cycling across mountains Living off the grid and outside traditional consumer culture What began as an adventure became something much deeper. "The journey restored my faith in humanity," Allenby said. Using journal entries from the expedition, the book offers an intimate look at overcoming adversity while discovering kindness in unexpected places. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. Breaking the Cycle The title The Cycle of Kindness carries special meaning. For someone who grew up surrounded by abuse, Allenby discovered that cycles do not have to continue forever. When a Sibling Is the Problem: Growing Up in Abuse, Surviving Trauma, and Breaking the Cycle. The cycle of violence, fear, and trauma can be broken. It can be replaced by compassion, resilience, and growth. His experiences demonstrate that even people who have endured significant childhood trauma can create fulfilling and meaningful adult lives. The bicycle journey became the beginning of something much larger. Over the next six years, Allenby would pedal more than 28,000 miles through ten countries and thirty states, continuing his quest for adventure, personal growth, and connection. More Than a Survivor Today, Nathaniel Allenby is known for much more than his past struggles. He is an entrepreneur, performer, adventurer, and one of the driving forces behind Cirque Quirk, a San Diego-based entertainment and adventure company. The complete interview is available as a Free Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and major podcast platforms. When a Sibling Is the Problem: Growing Up in Abuse, Surviving Trauma, and Breaking the Cycle. His story serves as a powerful reminder that trauma does not have to determine a person's future. While abuse may shape part of someone's story, it does not have to define the ending.

If you've ever stood in front of your staff in August full of hope and found yourself rationalizing data in May — this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm breaking down why the leadership playbook is keeping you and your teachers stuck in the same loop every single year — and why the only thing that actually breaks it isn't a new program, a new framework, or a new acronym. It's a 100% Vision. I'll show you exactly what that means, why it changes the math for your entire school, and how principals like Trina, Francina, Kevin, and Ashley used it to get results most people said weren't possible.

Roughly a year ago, a team at The New York Times Magazine set about tackling a nearly impossible task: creating a list of the greatest living American songwriters. But how to take the tens of thousands of songwriters working in this country and narrow them down to a digestible list? The answer involved thousands of voting ballots, hundreds of music industry insiders and a series of closed-door meetings among a small group of music experts. The result, The Times's list of the 30 greatest living American songwriters, was published this week. Today, Michael Barbaro talks with Sasha Weiss, a deputy editor of The Times Magazine, who oversaw the project, as well as Joe Coscarelli and Jody Rosen, two members of the cadre of critics assigned with compiling the final list. They discuss the list-making process, what defines a great songwriter and why Billy Joel didn't make the final cut. We also hear from some of the songwriters featured on the list, including Taylor Swift, Nile Rodgers and the songwriting team of Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. On Today's Episode: Sasha Weiss is a deputy editor of The New York Times Magazine. Joe Coscarelli is a culture reporter for The Times. He is a co-host of “Popcast,” a producer of the “Song of the Week” video series and the author of “Rap Capital: An Atlanta Story.” Jody Rosen is a contributing writer for the magazine and the author of “Two Wheels Good: The History and Mystery of the Bicycle.” Background Reading: The 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters Cast Your Vote for the Greatest Living American Songwriters Photo credit: Stefan Ruiz for The New York Times Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
