We begin 2026 with a question: What if the most decisive battles in our time aren't fought with ballots or bombs—but with the imagination?Watch the full conversation on YouTube Russell Moore talks with historian and author Joseph Loconte about The War for Middle-earth, his book on how World War I and World War II forged the friendship, faith, and fiction of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Together they explore why The Lord of the Rings and Narnia weren't escapist detours from reality, but a deliberate counter-assault on cynicism, propaganda, and the will to power—written by men who had seen the trenches up close and knew exactly what modern darkness looks like. Loconte and Moore talk about why World War I has slipped from our cultural memory, what protected Tolkien from the disillusionment that swallowed so many of his peers, and why both writers keep insisting that deeds done in the dark are “not wholly in vain.” They also discuss Lewis's warning about the “cataract of nonsense” in modern media, and why genuine friendship is almost never built by chasing “community”—but by pursuing a shared mission so compelling you find yourself fighting alongside someone. Loconte shares the origin story of the Lewis–Tolkien friendship, why grace—not grit—is the hinge point in both Middle-earth and Narnia, and where to start if you've never read either author: The Screwtape Letters for Lewis, and Tolkien's short, haunting “Leaf by Niggle.” Resources mentioned in this episode: By J.R.R.

By J.M. Auron Quantum Tech Resumes These days, apparently, most job seekers are afraid of the Big Bad ATS. And, with the endless drumbeat of horror stories about the ATS destroying careers? It's pretty understandable that people are nervous. So I'd like to follow up my earlier post on IT resume misinformation, and try to relieve some of the anxiety that's come to surround Applicant Tracking Systems. Now, don't get me wrong. ATS systems are far from ideal. But I believe - based on many years as a professional IT resume writer, as well as my own research - that the ATS may not be the bogeyman it's often made out to be. What is ATS and how to deal with it People often see "getting through the ATS" as the biggest challenge in the job search. It's really not, though. Getting through the ATS - and I know this goes against the conventional "wisdom" - isn't that difficult, and shouldn't be the focus of your resume writing. So let's break it down a bit. 1) Getting Through the ATS isn't that Hard I know. I just said that. It bears repeating, though, given the fear-mongering online and on social media. From the research I've done, 80%-95% of all decently written, decently formatted resumes get through the gatekeeper. Decently formatted just means a simple, readable, reverse chronological framework with clear section headings. The problem comes when there are multiple columns, tables, graphics, or very unusual fonts. The ATS can't read that, but, honestly, they're hard for humans to read, too. So keeping things simple, clear, and straightforward is likely to improve your chances with both the ATS and the humans who are really making the decisions. 2) You Don't Need a 100% Keyword Match In fact, a keyword match that high (if it's even possible) looks over-optimized, as though you've just copied and pasted the job description. Recruiters are hip to that - so even if you do get through the ATS with an overly optimized IT resume, you may well not get past the human being making the decision. It's a bit like Google. Keyword stuffing is more likely to get a site lowered rather than raised. The general rule of thumb is that you need a keyword match around 70%-80%. That's not really that hard, though it sounds like a high number. If you're a Cloud Architect, for example, a lot of what you've done is going to overlap with any decently written job description (I know, of course, that not all are decently written, but that's not something we can control). So if you talk clearly about what you've done, and naturally weave in the skills and tools you've used, the keyword matching will actually happen fairly automatically. I'm not suggesting that you don't read job descriptions carefully, but focus on the places where all the job descriptions match, rather than on a few outliers. 3) AI Hasn't Taken Over the Hiring Process! I'm not, in general, a big fan of AI - or at least of the AI hype we're all bombarded with. But from everything I can find, AI has not taken over ATS systems. They are still pretty close to what they've always been. AI is used to automate some tasks nowadays. More importantly, AI may be used for more semantic keyword matching - "cloud computing" can now match "AWS expertise" - for example. That's actually a positive; semantic keyword matching makes writing a resume that reads naturally much, much easier. But AI has not become a demonic (or hopelessly inefficient) entity committed to destroying your careers. It's not even mucking up the works as much as in some other areas - at least at this point. Bottom Line? There's a lot to be concerned about in the job search. Things aren't easy. But the hype about the Big Bad ATS, in my view, is just adding to the many worries that job seekers already have. That's not a good thing. So I recommend writing a good, solid, clear IT resume that tells your career story. If you do that well, the keywords - and the ATS - should take care of themselves. Bio: I'm J.M. Auron and I've owned one of the to...

By J.M. Auron Quantum Tech Resumes The job market is tough these days. That's not news to anyone in tech. But, too often, an IT job search can be made even tougher by following the resume misinformation that's everywhere on the internet these days. Resume misinformation - like much else on the internet - often gets recycled until it seems true. It's a rare day that I don't see resume advice that just isn't accurate - and may be destructive. Unfortunately, lots of very solid tech pros follow this internet chatter in good faith - and that slows down their job search significantly. So in this article, I'd like to take a few minutes to start to address a few very common IT resume myths. Resume Advice and myth busting 1) The All-Bulleted Resume I'd thought all-bulleted resumes had become extinct. I was pretty happy in that thought. But now? Not only are they everywhere again, they are being presented as the only way to write an IT resume. That's not a good piece of advice. Here's why. All-bulleted resumes are unclear, unstructured, and hard to read. Bullets, in any document, exist to visually highlight specific, important information. To make something stand out. To bring something from the background to the foreground. So if everything is bulleted? Nothing is bulleted. In an all-bulleted IT resume, absolutely every piece of information - from a major accomplishment to a necessary but uninteresting job task - looks exactly the same and is given the same visual weight. Nothing stands out, so there's no way to scan a resume and see what's most important or impactful. That means the hiring authority has to get out a magnifying glass and go through every bullet to see what's actually important. That's time consuming, and hiring authorities don't have a lot of time. What do I suggest and use in my IT resume writing service? I make a very clear distinction between duties or actions, and results. I write actions - whether a client's day-to-day job mandate or the actions supporting an initiative - in a paragraph format. I then save the bullets for the hard, clear accomplishments. This approach creates an IT resume that's clear and scannable while providing a distinct visual indicator of your biggest accomplishments. Bottom line? Use bullets on your IT resume - but only for the things that really stand out. 2) One-Page Resumes This is another one that makes the rounds periodically. It's back now - and may be even more destructive than an all-bulleted format. People are drawn to a one-page IT resume for what seems to be a good reason. We've all heard that hiring authorities do an initial resume scan in 0.0000000003 nanoseconds, right? So we need to keep the resume short to make sure they can read it! Well, hiring authorities do go over a resume pretty quickly - the first time they read it - though with nothing like the speed one sees online. That's not a reason to cram a career into one page. Here are two reasons why. First, no matter how fast the initial read may be, the hiring authority has to see something of value in your IT resume to merit scheduling an interview. If you've cut your 5-, 10-, or 20-year career to fit in maybe 400 words on one page? There's a really good chance you've cut out some - or all - of the reasons you might get a call. Second, while we hear a lot about that lightning-fast initial scan, what's generally not talked about is that the first quick read is just that - the first. If a hiring authority does see something of interest, if something stands out in a candidate's career (because it's not buried in a million bullets), the hiring authority will want to know more before scheduling a call. Because an interview takes time and the hiring authority wants to know that that time will be well spent. To do that, the hiring authority needs to have enough content to determine what a candidate can offer in a new opportunity. That requires more depth of content than is possible in one page. As a professional IT resume wri...

The longer a culture exists in a place, the more stories they have of that place. These stories act a way for people to interact with the land where they live and also act as social filters for how to perceive the land as well. Stories also engage people with the landscape through their imagination and when linked to a physical activity can make the connection more embodied and enjoyable. Humans learn through play, and playing with stories can be a great way to reconnect ourselves with the landscape and its inhabitants. To talk with me about this on the podcast, is a returning guest, Jason Godesky. Jason Godesky is an independent tabletop roleplaying game designer and world builder.

In this episode: real estate, upskilling, taking action, tracking your expenses, setting goals, getting on the same page, and the hot seat. This week we are joined by listener Navish Bahl to discuss his journey on the path to FI, the actionable steps he's taken in order to maximize his life, answer some questions in the HotSeat, and navigating your FI journey while your significant other or family may not be on board. There are many avenues you can utilize in order to achieve FI, and while it may be overwhelming at times to figure out what works for you and your journey, remember that the goal is to learn and go through life with more freedom and balance, not stress and burnout trying to chase a number. The path to FI is a personal one, and as you embark on your journey allow yourself some patience but also some flexibility, and don't forget to extend some patience to others in your life who may not be on the same path.  Navish Bahl: LinkedIn: Navish Bahl Timestamps: 0:52 - Introduction 2:30 - The Inspiration to Start and Taking Action 11:44 - Real Estate and Rental Properties 18:42 - Upskilling, Getting New Jobs, and Making Connections 33:09 - Discovery, Education, and Action in FI 39:52- Tracking Your Expenses 46:34 - Getting on the Same Page 50:21 - The Hot Seat 55:18 - Conclusion Resources Mentioned In Today's Episode: "Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned in School" By Andrew Hallam "The Simple Path to Wealth: Your road map to financial independence and a rich, free life" By J.L.

In this episode: the importance of community, finding financial literacy, pulling the levers of FI, and the hot seat. We've heard incredible stories of FI from many of our listeners, but this week we are lucky to hear from someone who overcame so much in order to achieve the life she always wanted. This week we are joined by one of our listeners Teresa, where we discuss her incredible story of navigating and overcoming debt as a single mother to building a strong foundation of financial literacy and knowledge for herself and her daughters! Some of us on the path to FI may not have grown up surrounded by great financial models, and maybe some of our listeners may feel overwhelmed with the new tips and knowledge that FI brings, but please remember that feeling unprepared is no reason to count yourself out on this journey! Your past failures or mistakes shouldn't hold you back from building the life you want and the life you deserve, but rather they should motivate you to learn and grow into the best future version of yourself!

This week on The Download: Spotify erroneously serves liquor, platforms continue to snap up content houses, and RSS.com shares how they beat podcast spam. Last week Spotify experienced the mother of all brand safety mistakes, and for now it has cost them the ad dollars of a major liquor distributor. As originally reported by Tanner Cambell in Saturday’s issue of Dispatches from the Booth, sometime on Saturday Spotify began serving a banner ad for bourbon distillery Wild Turkey to the profile of every podcast. This led to numerous screenshots demonstrating just how unfortunate such a slip-up can be, including children’s entertainment and podcasts discussing sobriety. On Tuesday Wild Turkey made an official statement on the matter. Quoting their statement: “We are disappointed that the implementation of the campaign by Spotify was inconsistent with our advertising code and have paused all media with Spotify pending results of the investigation. We are members and partners of DISCUS and Responsibility.org and unequivocally support a responsible marketing agenda.” The Download has covered numerous stories involving new tech designed to ensure brand safety when it comes to problematic podcast hosts or suspect content in an existing brand’s catalog, but this slip-up shows brand safety doesn’t stop at the content of the podcast itself. Which leads to a decision that might set up further problems in the very near future. This Monday Issie Lapowsky published an article for Protocol highlighting Spotify lifting its two-year ban on political ads. Quoting the article: “In an email the company sent out to potential partners this week, Spotify said that political ads will appear “across thousands of podcasts on and off Spotify.” An accompanying presentation promises political advertisers the ability to target niche audiences and tap into AI-driven “contextual targeting,” which allows advertisers to place ads in podcasts when they are discussing issues relevant to their target audiences.” Lapowsky highlights the uphill struggle Spotify has ahead of them. While competitors like Meta and Google have made efforts to be open with political advertisements by maintaining large public archives, Spotify’s starting from scratch. The Wild Turkey slipup isn’t enough to raise alarms at Spotify’s ability to run ads ethically. Mistakes happen. That said, it does highlight just how impactful a mistake can be when made by a massive player in the industry. A player now dabbling in an area of advertising infamous for its ability to spread disinformation. It’s been a week of big-name acquisitions of talent in the podcasting world. The massive long-running interview podcast WTF with Marc Maron signed with Acast, according to a Brad Hill article published Tuesday. “‘Entering into a partnership with the podcast giant Marc Maron is a big win for Acast and for the open podcasting landscape, as this deal guarantees that the podcast can continue to be listened to by everyone, everywhere and on their preferred listening platform,’ said Ross Adams, CEO of Acast.” WTF, which previously operated as an independent production with a paywalled back catalog available for a fee on its website, will now switch to offering older episodes to Acast+ subscribers as bonus content. For the audience little will change, but Acast has just inherited one of the biggest names in podcasting outside of Spotify’s walled garden and gets to handle ad sales. Establishing the trend for the week, Monday saw a press release from SiriusXM announcing the acquisition of Team Coco, most notably bringing aboard Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. Like the Maron buyout, Sirius has purchased the production house whole hog, including a five year talent agreement with O’Brien. Longtime fans of the former late-night comedian will understand the gravitas behind convincing O’Brien into an exclusivity deal after his messy breakup with NBC. Rounding out the trio of announcements, Monday also saw RedCircle’s announcement of acquiring rights to travel influencer Drew Binsky’s upcoming podcast Roots of Humanity. Binsky is making the popular move for influencers by starting a podcast guaranteed to court a built-in audience from his existing audience, sporting 3.3 million YouTube subscribers alone. “Roots of Humanity celebrates the beauty and diversity of the world, which is aligned with RedCircle’s vision of helping podcasters of all sizes and shapes across the globe to get rewarded for their work. RedCircle is excited to be part of Drew Binsky’s journey and help him to achieve his goals with its modern podcast hosting and monetizing technology.” It seems the trend continues with podcast platforms looking beyond simple exclusivity rights for an individual podcast to focus on acquiring production houses and existing brands that can act as content engines beyond the popular podcast’s lifespan. Full creator/talent packages are the current hotness and there’s no signs of them slowing down. This Monday Sounds Profitable’s own Bryan Barletta covered the launch of Buzzsprout’s new ad project in a thread on Twitter. In simple terms, the Buzzsprout Ads beta gives podcasters the ability to use Buzzsprout’s dynamic ad insertion tech to implement midroll ads in a way previously only available to signed talent or shows with crew who’ve worked in advertising. Producers entering the beta can manually review ads to decide which would be the best fit for their podcast and whitelist them for inclusion. Buzzsprout’s tech by default uses a music jingle slowly increasing in volume to signal an ad break is approaching, attempting to emulate the five second timer announcing ad breaks on video hosting platforms like YouTube. Users are given a surprising amount of customization with this feature, offering five stock transition options as well as the ability for hosts to record their own ad break and ad return bumpers for the automated system to use. Accessibility has also been taken into account. The Buzzsprout Ads platform is designed to drop chapter markers around each inserted ad and automatically time-shift the SRT file for podcasts with transcripts to accommodate the inserted ad changing timecodes for any portion of transcript that takes place after. Bryan sums things up best at the end of his thread, saying: “Ad monetization empowers many podcasters to grow their show into a business. Sponsorships will always take the cake, but out-the-gate options for a skilled creator without sales experience changes the game. DAI Marketplaces and Programmatic are how we hit those IAB numbers.” A few days ago a string of spam podcasts were published to major platforms, all containing a single episode of unrelated audio aimed at using the show art and description fields to promote escort services in various locations in the United Arab Emirates. They had the legitimacy of the spam texts one gets at 2:00 a.m., but they were produced by the dozen. On Monday RSS.com co-founder and managing director Alberto Betella published a writeup on Podnews detailing how the hosting service tackled their new spam problem. “We had two options: a. “Throw humans at the problem”, hire 1 or 2 extra people to counteract this misbehavior (perhaps also implementing a moderation queue for newly created podcasts). b. build tech to address and mitigate the problem. We chose option B because it works at scale, it doesn’t need food and drinks, and because it’s a lot more fun! A few people in our team, in fact, have a strong AI/Machine Learning background and it doesn’t happen very often to have the opportunity to leverage this skill set in the podcasting space.” What’s important here isn’t necessarily the fact RSS.com was able to quickly fix the issue with neart machine learning and clever implementation of tools to prevent false positives from getting stuck in the system, it’s the fact that we the public know the broad strokes of how they accomplished it. “We cannot share our current ML model as open source because it is part of the unique value proposition of our company. However, we have described the methods and provided actionable recommendations for anyone that wants to build something similar. Hopefully, this is our small contribution to keep podcasting spam free!” Sharing methodology used to overcome issues that could affect anyone with similar services in the market is useful, embodying the spirit of open source communities even when dealing with proprietary creations. We need more sharing like this across the industry. Finally, it’s time for our semi-regular roundup of articles that didn’t make it into today’s episode, but are still worth working into your weekend reading. Streamers are creating companion podcasts for superfans of their shows by Alyssa Meyers Do You Have a Development Deal with Audible Yet? By J. Clara Chan. The Download is a production of Sounds Profitable. Today's episode was hosted by Shreya Sharma and Manuela Bedoya, and the script was written by Gavin Gaddis.

Important quotes from Naval on building wealth and the difference between wealth and money:   How to get rich without getting lucky. - Naval Ravikant   Making money is not a thing you do—it's a skill you learn. - Naval Ravikant   I came up with the principles in my tweetstorm (below) for myself when I was really young, around thirteen or fourteen. I've been carrying them in my head for thirty years, and I've been living them. Over time (sadly or fortunately), the thing I got really good at was looking at businesses and figuring out the point of maximum leverage to actually create wealth and capture some of that created wealth. - Naval Ravikant   Seek wealth, not money or status. - Naval Ravikant   Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. - Naval Ravikant   Money is how we transfer time and wealth. - Naval Ravikant   Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.    You're not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity—a piece of a business—to gain your financial freedom.  - Naval Ravikant   The most important skill for getting rich is becoming a perpetual learner. You have to know how to learn anything you want to learn. The old model of making money is going to school for four years, getting your degree, and working as a professional for thirty years. But things change fast now. Now, you have to come up to speed on a new profession within nine months, and it's obsolete four years later. But within those three productive years, you can get very wealthy. - Naval Ravikant     Important quotes from the podcast by Naval on Leverage:   “Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.”  —Archimedes    To get rich, you need leverage. Leverage comes in labor, comes in capital, or it can come through code or media. But most of these, like labor and capital, people have to give to you. For labor, somebody has to follow you. For capital, somebody has to give you money, assets to manage, or machines. - Naval Ravikant   Fortunes require leverage. Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media). - Naval Ravikant   Capital and labor are permissioned leverage. Everyone is chasing capital, but someone has to give it to you. Everyone is trying to lead, but someone has to follow you. - Naval Ravikant   Code and media are permissionless leverage. They're the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep. - Naval Ravikant   If you can't code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts. - Naval Ravikant   Leverage is a force multiplier for your judgment. - Naval Ravikant   Apply specific knowledge, with leverage, and eventually you will get what you deserve. - Naval Ravikant   “We live in an age of infinite leverage, and the economic rewards for genuine intellectual curiosity have never been higher. Following your genuine intellectual curiosity is a better foundation for a career than following whatever is making money right now.” - Naval Ravikant   Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship   There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant   You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important.     Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.    But usually, the real wealth is created by starting your own companies or even by investing. In an investment firm, they're buying equity. These are the routes to wealth. It doesn't come through the hours. - Naval Ravikant
