Did Charlie Bellmore Go from Hardcore to Metal Legends?

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in transportation policy and the latest on the Front Range Rail project. Ross and Randal dive into the financials of the project, questioning its viability and the benefits it promises to deliver. With a keen eye for detail, the speaker breaks down the numbers and reveals the true cost of this proposed rail line. The Front Range Rail project has been touted as a solution to traffic congestion in the region, but Randal argues that it's a costly endeavor that won't deliver the promised benefits. With a focus on the financials, Randal highlights the staggering costs of building and operating the rail line, and how it will likely cost taxpayers $50 to $60 per rider. Randal also compares the proposed rail line to buses, pointing out that buses are a more efficient and effective way to move people. Randal also touches on the broader issue of why rail projects like this one keep getting proposed despite their questionable financials. It seems that the allure of trains is just too great, and the promise of reducing traffic congestion is often an empty one. Randal shares a fascinating story about a Super Bowl event where buses were used to transport fans, and how they were able to move people in and out of the stadium with ease, while trains struggled to keep up. If you're interested in learning more about the Front Range Rail project and the broader issues surrounding transportation policy, this episode is a must-listen. Randal brings a dose of reality to the conversation, and offers a critical perspective on the proposed rail line.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Federal farm subsidies have kept growing from occasional disaster relief into a sprawling system of commodity supports, crop insurance, sugar protection, and bailouts. With the backdrop of the Farm Bill, Cato's Ryan Bourne, Chris Edwards, and Clark Packard discuss who really benefits, why reform never sticks, and how tariffs hurt farmers that Congress then subsidize.

People in the US live paycheck to paycheck while the Trump administration demands billions more to escalate the arms race in space with a missile defense (offense) shield modeled after Israel's Iron Dome. Marcy Winograd interviews Bruce Gagnon, founder of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space, on why the Dome is a disaster in waiting. Alice Slater, board member of World Beyond War, follows with a call to ban the bomb and sign on to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

The U.S. faces declining dominance, energy myths unravel, workers reject elites, and Trump pushes a $1B taxpayer-funded project.

**Did Radian's “Subterfuge” Ignite Cleveland Metal?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 27, 2026 is: boondoggle • BOON-dah-gul • noun A boondoggle is an expensive and wasteful project usually paid for with public money. Boondoggle is also a word for a braided cord worn by Boy Scouts as a neckerchief slide, hatband, or ornament. // Critics say the dam is a complete boondoggle—over budget, behind schedule, and unnecessary. See the entry > Examples: "A controversial proposal to construct a new bridge from Bridgeport to Long Island is either a bold, visionary step into the future or an unaffordable boondoggle that could cost more than $50 billion." — Christopher Keating, The Hartford (Connecticut) Courant, 8 Mar. 2026 Did you know? When boondoggle popped up in the early 1900s, lots of people tried to explain where the word came from. One theory traced it to an Ozarkian word for "gadget," while another related it to the Tagalog word that gave us boondocks. Another hypothesis suggested that boondoggle came from the name of leather toys Daniel Boone supposedly made for his dog. But the only theory that is supported by evidence is much simpler. In the 1920s, Robert Link, a scoutmaster for the Boy Scouts of America, apparently coined the word to name the braided leather cords made and worn by scouts. The word came to prominence when such a boondoggle was presented to the Prince of Wales at the 1929 World Jamboree, and it's been with us ever since. Over time, it developed the additional sense describing a wasteful or impractical project.

A $1.7 billion one-time spending bill was just signed by the Governor — and most of us had no idea it was even happening.Over $300 million in potential waste and abuse has been identified in HB 900. It started at $800 million for unnamed projects. Then, at last minute, it grew to $1.7 billion — stuffing in spending items that nobody had time to properly review… and that were kept hidden from Kentucky citizens until after the vote.Here's just some of what they slipped in:- $80 million in forgivable loans to mega-development private industry projects - $100 million to the Economic Development Grant program - $2.5 million to buy an off-road park - $2.2 million in one-time extra funding to the Glendale Training Center at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, which was built to train employees at the currently shuttered Ford battery plant.- $3 million to the Louisville Ballet - $4 million to Camp Landing Entertainment District, which is a for-profit private property developer renting space in a redevelopment mall to Malibu Jacks, a movie theater, and other businesses.- $2.5 million for Kentucky to invest in Kentucky tech startups (it doesn't specify which ones — presumably those selected by the Beshear administration) - $3.2 million to the Louisville Orchestra, which has net revenue in the millions - $10 million to the Kentucky Center for the Arts, which is the landlord for the Opera and hosts events like drag shows - $450,000 to the Leadership Kentucky Foundation, a nonprofit with over $1.1 million in annual revenue, a net income of $308,000, and more than $3 million in assets - $3 million to Goodwill Kentucky. Goodwill Kentucky brought in $138,259,072 in revenue last year, with net income of over $5 million and $184 million in net assets. It's CEO makes over $450,000 annually. - $158 million in various unnamed or ambiguous economic development projects.And that's just scratching the surface.Whether it's handing millions to already financially strong private nonprofits, spending tens of millions on unnamed economic development projects that could end up in private bank accounts, or getting government involved in private industry where it arguably shouldn't be — these are all expenditures that deserved real debate and discussion.Not a last-minute, secretive passage where the citizens of Kentucky don't get to voice their thoughts to their representatives.Watch my latest show where I break it all down.

A high speed rail project between Toronto and Quebec City is on the table, promising jobs and billions in economic impact — but also raising concerns from communities and politicians. In this episode, we dig into what Canadians want to know about high‑speed rail and whether the country is ready for it. Our question: What questions do you have about high speed rail in Canada? Is it a good or bad idea?

Sam Churchill warns the Interstate Bridge Replacement will destroy Manheim Auto Auction, kill Hayden Island Mall with $4 tolls, and bring homeless encampments to Vancouver.

Welcome back from the weekend! Norris and Jer dig into: The names of three new lion cubs at the Detroit Zoo We unpack the quiet closure of Midtown's Jolly Pumpkin, what it meant to the neighborhood, and what to expect from the new concept coming in. There's a viral $50 billion "Freedom City" plan to turn Belle Isle into an exclusive enclave. But in their view, it's hype, not hopeful. And we close with the suddenly controversial parking rules facing Stellantis workers who don't drive company brands — but this is the way it's been at factories and facilities for many years.  Feedback as always - dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com or leave a voicemail, 313-789-3211.

Old stuff!  Told'ja there were leftovers from 2025 lying around in the Garagosphere...  This gem from July was special because we got about 10 years of hate off the collective gearhead chest about bad P.S.A. ads that make you wish any car guy had been a part of any of the production.  On the plus side, now we know what to look out for (patronizing betaboys and their bullygirl narrators).  There's better bits to be had, like a trucker from New York City (see, there's still good things there) who built a 1500 sq-ft balsa replica of the city (because why not, or perhaps because X-Acto Knife), plus the selfsame city's plans to spend $2,000,000,000 to REMOVE 300K parking spots (because what, what?) while its parking garages do their best impression of a Denny's pancake breakfast. There's also the tale of unscheduled monster truck disassembly mid-show (and the cars the parts landed upon). Back to the warnings: Raiders, Dredd, Snatch, Urban and Reeves, Animal House, Jenny in Japan, any PR ≠ good PR, '80s Fleppard, old Subaru Foresters, the soundtrack rule, foreign coverage of domestic stories, and the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack.
