Riley Gaines, Title IX, and the Politics of Protecting Female Athletes A special edition of Capital Connection- 5/31/24     Women's sports advocate Riley Gaines says even though majorities of Americans want to protect girls' locker rooms, female sports records, and women's teams -- regardless of politic party affiliation. In this conversation, Gaines talks about the ways that Democratic politicians have "failed in their most basic duties".

Greg Gillispie also asked her about the disparities which start this fall, between how the NCAA and NAIA will deal with participation by athletes who were born male.   You can listen to Part One of our exclusive interview with Riley Gaines on the May 29 Family Life News Podcast.   More information about the Riley Gaines presentation in Cranberry Township (Friday, May 31) is available from the Pennsylvania Family Institute.

Well, it's D-day for Te Huia. Today's the day that NZTA has met and has decided whether or not to keep funding the train past the end of June. Unless NZTA gives them more money, it's all over by the first of July.And come on, it's gotta be all over right? Because the case for this thing has never actually stacked up.We subsidise every single passenger on that train to the tune of at least $92 per trip. Compare that to the other commuter train that runs in the North Island between Palmerston North and Wellington, the Capital Connection. The subsidy there is $26 per passenger, that's almost a quarter.80,000 are estimated to catch Te Huia this year. By contrast, it's 110,000 for the Capital train. Can you explain to me how fewer people are catching a train into Auckland, a considerably bigger city?Because why would you? You can do that trip on the train from Hamilton to Auckland, it takes 2 hours and 40 minutes. Or you can jump in your car and travel for 2 hours - it doesn't make any sense. The train only runs a couple of times a day for half the week, and then three times a day for the other half. And it doesn't even stop at massive commuter suburbs on the way to Auckland, like Pokeno.It's gotta go. It's an expensive, ineffective service.But this is not a criticism of the idea of a train between Hamilton and Auckland, that is a great idea. If we had a proper train running, it would mean we could take Pokeno, Tuakau, Pukeohe, Bombay and Mercer's traffic all off the motorway and encourage more people to live in those less expensive places - and maybe even move to Hamilton.But we've got to do it properly. It's got to be faster than a car, it's got to stop at the right places where people live and it's got to run more frequently.I'm certain that if it was done properly, many more people would use it.So killing Te Huia is not killing a great idea, it's just killing the poor execution of a great idea.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Kountry Fan Mail Podcast, Kinda Odd Interview, Ep. 2!

Hey, what's up, everyone! It's your man KlueDaDon from the Kountry Fan Mail Podcast, and we've got another super dope episode for you. Join us in the amazing spaces of Capital Connection as we dive into a candid conversation with the talented Kinds Odd. Shout out to Bud, the owner, for hosting us in these incredible studios.In this take-two edition, we kick things off with the famous first KFM question– and trust me, it's an unexpected one! YG's 'Tooted and Booted' brought those morning vibes. Big shout out to YG for crafting such a great track to start the day.We also explore the journey from being born in OKC, moving to Sacramento, and the impact it had on Kinda Odds music. I owe it all to my mom's decision to move back to California, and it's been history ever since.Going back about 10 years, my music journey began with a humble setup – a basic laptop, a trial version of Mixcraft, two mattresses, and a questionable mic. But as they say, 10,000 hours make a master, and we were putting in the work every morning.Before diving into hip-hop, Kinda Odds roots were in pop and punk music, with influences from bands like Green Day and Nirvana. It was a transition fueled by the love for the unique sounds of artists like Jack and Hus.Talking about my music style, I always aimed for something different. I don't create music about experiences I haven't lived, keeping it real without cap. A prime example is 'Pumpkin Spice,' a song that resonates with anyone who's been madly in love.Reflecting on my catalog, one track that didn't quite hit the mark for me is 'High Ground' from my first EP. It's all part of the journey, right? On the flip side, I'm immensely proud of 'Pumpkin Spice' and 'Sworn.' The production magic, courtesy of Colt 45, brought those tracks to life.The conversation takes an exciting turn as we discuss collaborations, and one that surprised many was with HP Fast. Fast came in with blazing speed, and the synergy was just on point.Join us for this exclusive interview filled with laughter, music stories, and a vibe you won't find anywhere else. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe – your support means the world to us.
