Podcasts about Blending

Welcome back to Sustainability Street, our podcast on the intersection of commercial real estate and the world we live in. For this episode, I'm talking about mass timber construction with Varun Kohli, director of sustainability for Corgan, a global architecture and design firm with 19 offices. In a recent study, sustainability and research teams at Corgan joined together to get a better understanding of the lifecycle of mass timber—from forest to installation and beyond—and the variables that impact its use. The goal was to help architects and developers account for all the embodied carbon associated with this increasingly popular building material.The results of their study are helping dispel some of the myths about mass timber, and a mass timber carbon calculator now sits on the company's website." That's really where we want to make an impact," Kohli said. "You can't simply say, 'we want to use mass timber.'  Let's get into the specifics of where it's coming from, how it's being managed and see how that impacts your overall carbon emissions."Here's a sample of the topics we discussed:The allure of mass timber (2:22)Misconceptions about mass timber (3:51)Corgan's mass timber research project (5:51)Managing what's left behind in the forest (6:03)The transportation piece (9:25)The Corgan mass timber calculator (13:21)The embodied carbon debate (15:54)Blending research and sustainability (21:34)Follow, rate and review CPE's podcasts on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube!

Season 9, Episode 13 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast marks Izzy Baker's return to the mic solo for the first time since the premiere, diving headfirst into a conversation most people are too afraid to have: what happens when you realize your homeboy ain't your homeboy? Blending personal reflection, social media trends, and biblical truth, Izzy explores the emotional and spiritual toll of betrayal between friends, especially among men. Using the story of Jonathan and David from 1 Samuel 19–20, he breaks down what true loyalty looks like and how covenant friendship can't be confused with trauma bonding. Drawing on insights from resources like Psychology Today, Mental Health America, Calm, and Headway, the episode outlines clear signs of toxic friendships: emotional exhaustion, manipulation, subtle competition, and spiritual misalignment. Izzy makes it clear—just because you've known someone for years doesn't mean they're assigned to your future. He challenges listeners to stop calling jealousy loyalty and to stop mistaking gossip for concern. Throughout the episode, he reflects on times when he ignored the signs, offers perspective on taking accountability, and provides a blueprint for knowing when to make amends—and when to walk away.Whether you've outgrown someone, been disrespected too many times, or are struggling to hear God through the noise of familiar voices, this episode is for you. You weren't built to maintain friendships that drain you. You were built to discern, to grow, and to protect your peace. Izzy invites listeners to be honest with themselves and ask: is this really my homeboy—or just someone who's comfortable with my dysfunction?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.

Movie of the Year: 1999South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut (feat. Nate Ragolia!)Why South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut Still MattersIn this hilariously unfiltered episode of Movie of the Year, the Taste Buds revisit the notorious 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. Blending satirical genius with musical chaos, the movie left a cultural impact, and the Taste Buds are here to explore how it still resonates 25 years later.With its fearless takedown of American censorship, over-the-top commentary on masculinity, and rare-for-its-time portrayal of homosexuality, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut is more than just fart jokes and foul language. It's a surprisingly poignant time capsule of late-‘90s anxiety, and the Taste Buds break it all down.Censorship in South Park: Bigger, Longer, and UncutNo movie waged war with the MPAA quite like this one. The Taste Buds analyze how South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut skewers moral panic, parental outrage, and the hypocrisy of the film rating system. From the “R” rating controversy to the meta-commentary built into the plot, this section reveals why censorship is the film's true villain.Masculinity and War: Boys Being BoysSouth Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut builds its central conflict around immature boys triggering a global catastrophe. The Taste Buds examine how the film employs absurd humor to expose the fragility of masculinity and the toxic expectations society places on young men. Expect debate on whether Cartman is the id of American manhood—or just a chaotic neutral goblin.Homosexuality and Big Gay Al: A Queer SubtextIn a surprising turn for a 1999 mainstream animated movie, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut includes a sympathetic queer character in Big Gay Al. The Taste Buds discuss the film's portrayal of homosexuality, including its satirical (yet sincere) celebration of queer identity. From Saddam and Satan's toxic romance to the hopeful notes of Big Gay Al's song, the film blends camp and commentary in unexpected ways.Guest Panelist: Nate Ragolia from Debut BuddiesSpecial guest Nate Ragolia, co-host of the movie podcast Debut Buddies, joins this episode with insightful takes and a deep appreciation for chaos. Nate helps the Taste Buds unpack why South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut still resonates today, from its musical theater references to its unflinching (and hilarious) view of American culture.Related Episodes You'll Love:The Iron Giant – 1999 Movie PodcastThe Green Mile – 1999 Movie PodcastThe Action Figures Draft – Movie of the YearFinal Thoughts: Revisiting South Park: Bigger, Longer, and UncutSouth Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut is more than a relic of juvenile rebellion—it's a cultural commentary wrapped in fart jokes and musical numbers. Whether you're a longtime fan or revisiting it for the first time, the Taste Buds' discussion offers new reasons to appreciate the film's satire, boldness, and weird emotional resonance.Stream the episode now and rediscover why South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut still punches up, punches through, and—occasionally—sings its way into our hearts.

These back-to-back monologues expose a worldview in which China has launched a multifront hidden war against the United States and its allies. The speaker argues that Beijing is circumventing tariffs by routing goods through dozens of countries and working through Iran and the Houthis to attack Western shipping, target U.S. naval forces, and undermine populist movements in Europe. At home, the narrative portrays an escalating “guerrilla civil war,” as left-wing activists allegedly intimidate ICE agents, exploit mass immigration as a political weapon, and attempt to terrorize law enforcement into submission. Blending geopolitical alarm with domestic outrage, the commentary paints a picture of coordinated threats abroad and within—driven by a Chinese quest for global dominance and enabled by U.S. political elites.

In this chilling Supernatural Japan episode, host Kevin O'Shea ventures to the heart of western Tokyo to unravel the dark mysteries of the haunted Doryodo Ruins in Hachioji's Ōtsukayama Park. Once a serene temple built in 1874 and demolished in the 1980s, the site is now infamous for a horrifying trio of murders—a robbery-slain elderly caretaker in 1963, a young co-ed murdered in 1973, and lingering whispers that hint at yet another tragic incident—all of which contribute to the ruin's eerie reputation. Blending spine‑tingling history, local ghost sightings, and folklore, this episode delves into reports of distant weeping, lost spirits calling "I'm here," and the supernatural legacy that still haunts one of Tokyo's most notorious shinrei supotto (haunt spots). Perfect for true‑crime and paranormal podcast fans, this episode explores how unbearable grief and unsolved deaths have turned an abandoned temple into a magnet for ghost hunters and urban explorers alike.Follow the podcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/supernaturaljapanBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/madformaple.bsky.socialX: https://x.com/MadForMapleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/supernaturaljapanEmail: supernaturaljapan@gmail.comSupport the podcast (Help fund the creation of new episodes): https://buymeacoffee.com/busankevinYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BusanKevinNEW podcast companion blogs! https://justjapanstuff.com/Support the show

In this episode, I sit down with Isaac LeKach and Lillian Shalom, the creative and entrepreneurial duo behind Flower Shop Perfumes Co., a brand that's blurring the lines between scent, art, and emotion.  What struck me most about our conversation is how personal their approach to fragrance is. For them, perfume isn't just about smelling good; it's about storytelling, self-expression, and creating a deeply emotional, almost spiritual experience for the wearer. We talk about everything from product innovation to packaging inspired by sculpture, as well as what it's like to build a fragrance brand with no roadmap, just instinct and intention.   Whether it's through bold scent choices or unconventional bottle design, Flower Shop is rewriting the rules of what a fragrance brand can be—and why the industry needed a shake-up. Here are a few highlights from our conversation:   * How a chance conversation led to the birth of a fragrance line rooted in nostalgia and artistry   * Why the brand isn't chasing mass appeal—and why that's a strength   * Lillian's take on perfume as wearable sculpture and emotional trigger   * The role of risk-taking and gut decisions in building a disruptive brand   * Why authenticity and creative freedom are their North Star   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to the episode and explore how Flower Shop Perfumes Co. is redefining modern fragrance—one story, one scent, one sculpture at a time. If you're a fan of art, beauty, or brand building, you'll find this episode rich with inspiration.

In this jam-packed episode, CannCon and Alpha Warrior kick off with the stunning reversal of Douglas Mackey's conviction over his 2016 meme, an unprecedented First Amendment case the DOJ pursued under the KKK Act. Mackey joins live to recount being raided, banned, and nearly imprisoned over obvious satire, and why he's planning civil action against the FBI and prosecutors. The hosts then dive into bombshell news that the DOJ has criminally referred John Brennan and James Comey over Russiagate misconduct, debating whether the moves signal real accountability or just another show. The conversation shifts to FISA court disclosures about Carter Page warrants, the systemic abuse of surveillance power, and how legislative reforms might finally emerge. They also cover updates on Dr. Kirk Moore's federal trial over saline vaccines, revealing how a prosecution witness claiming the shots were “safe and effective” accidentally opened the door to evidence about jab harms. Other highlights include California's post-fire land grab to build subsidized housing, Trump's new NASA leadership, and a fresh Japanese study linking COVID boosters to aggressive cancer. Blending humor, frustration, and sharp analysis, this episode underscores why Americans are losing trust in institutions, and why exposure is just the beginning.

In this episode, investigative journalists Andrei Soldatov and Irina Borogan—both Visiting Fellows at the Department of War Studies—join Dr Daniela Richterová, Senior Lecturer in Intelligence Studies, to discuss their new book, Our Dear Friends in Moscow: The Inside Story of a Broken Generation. The book reflects on a generation of young Russians who came of age in the hopeful yet turbulent 1990s. In the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse, many embraced the promise of reform and openness. But economic turmoil, war and terrorism soon reshaped the country, as the state moved steadily toward authoritarianism. Blending personal narrative with political analysis, Andrei and Irina explore how a once close-knit group of friends—united by shared ideals—fractured under the pressure of Putin's rise. Some aligned with the regime; others, like the authors, chose exile. Drawing on two decades of reporting, they examine the rise of Russia's security state and the moral decisions that shaped their generation.

At the start of Shakespeare's famous tragedy, King Lear promises to divide his kingdom based on his daughters' professions of love, but portions it out before hearing all of their answers. For Nan Da, this opening scene sparks a reckoning between King Lear, one of the cruelest and most confounding stories in literature, and the tragedy of Maoist and post-Maoist China. Da, who emigrated from China to the United States as a child in the 1990s, brings Shakespeare's tragedy to life on its own terms, addressing the concerns it reflects over the transition from Elizabeth I to James I with a fearsome sense of what would soon come to pass. At the same time, she uses the play as a lens to revisit the world of Maoist China--what it did to people, and what it did to storytelling. Blending literary analysis and personal history, Da begins in her childhood during Deng Xiaoping's Opening and Reform, then moves back and forth between Lear and China. In The Chinese Tragedy of King Lear (Princeton University Press, 2025), the unfinished business of Maoism and other elements of Chinese thought and culture--from Confucianism to the spectacles of Peking Opera--help elucidate the choices Shakespeare made in constructing Lear and the unbearable confusions he left behind.

At the start of Shakespeare's famous tragedy, King Lear promises to divide his kingdom based on his daughters' professions of love, but portions it out before hearing all of their answers. For Nan Da, this opening scene sparks a reckoning between King Lear, one of the cruelest and most confounding stories in literature, and the tragedy of Maoist and post-Maoist China. Da, who emigrated from China to the United States as a child in the 1990s, brings Shakespeare's tragedy to life on its own terms, addressing the concerns it reflects over the transition from Elizabeth I to James I with a fearsome sense of what would soon come to pass. At the same time, she uses the play as a lens to revisit the world of Maoist China--what it did to people, and what it did to storytelling.
