New laws and regulations are reshaping the future of hunting, fishing, and outdoor access nationwide. In this episode of The Sportsmen's Voice Roundup, we break down major legislative updates affecting hunters, anglers, and conservation advocates. Topics include Pennsylvania's new Sunday hunting implementation for the 2025–2026 season, Nebraska's decision to raise mountain lion harvest limits, and the introduction of the SHARKED Act to protect anglers from unwanted shark encounters.

Key Highlights: Sunday Hunting in Pennsylvania: Newly approved for the 2025–2026 hunting season. Mountain Lion Hunting in Nebraska: Expanded harvests reflect strong predator populations.

The next entry in the Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series makes for a perfect pairing with last week's—it's Chuck's chat with Brian Wilson's early mentor Bill Wagner, The Four Freshmen's manager. This extremely lucid conversation offers a one-after-the-other cavalcade of precious insights, from the first visit to Bill's office by a green-behind-the-ears Brian in 1958 to the ineffable sadness of later years. Bill passed away back in 2011 (only three months before Ross left us), which makes this posthumously released interview another priceless buried treasure. Here's just a few of the many things that Bill discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:A description of Brian's initial 1958 office visit, and how he decided to go about impressing the manager;Candid impressions of Murry Wilson, including an embarrassing tale about Murry's hijacked Capitol building tour;Fascinating insights into Brian's initial home recording dalliances;A recounting of a truly scary conversation he shared with Brian in 1966 about his experiments with LSD;And the truly upsetting final conversation the two men shared.There'll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti's Patreon.

Discover how hunters, educators, and advocates are reshaping the future of hunting and conservation. In this episode of The Sportsmen's Voice, host Fred Bird explores the R3 movement—Recruitment, Retention, and Reactivation—and its critical role in the future of hunting, shooting sports, and wildlife conservation across the U.S. Fred first welcomes Taniya Bethke, a national voice for inclusive hunting access, to talk about the importance of community engagement, education, and partnerships in growing support for hunting and public lands. She breaks down how to better connect with urban populations and why shifting public perception is essential to long-term success in conservation. Then, Courtney Braunns of the Pennsylvania Game Commission joins to share what's working—and what's not—at the state level. She highlights youth hunting initiatives, college outreach, and the impact of Sunday hunting legalization in reversing declining participation trends. She also discusses the challenges of land access and the importance of mentorship programs for first-time hunters. Finally, Fred sits down with Greg Kretschmar, longtime radio host and outdoor advocate in New England. They dive into the role of media in shaping opinions on hunting, how social platforms can both help and hurt, and why personal outdoor experiences remain powerful tools for changing minds and hearts. Greg reflects on the therapeutic value of time in nature and the responsibility of hunters to lead by example. Takeaways R3 Framework: Recruitment, retention, and reactivation efforts are vital to hunting's future. Urban Outreach: Engaging city dwellers and college students expands the hunting base. Land Access: A top barrier to new hunter participation, especially in metro areas. Mentorship Matters: New hunters thrive when guided by experienced outdoorsmen and women. Conservation Funding: Hunters contribute directly through licenses and excise taxes. Social Media's Impact: Perception of hunting is shaped—often negatively—online. Therapeutic Outdoors: Hunting and time in nature support mental health and well-being. Inclusive Messaging: Public lands belong to everyone—education must reflect that. Wildlife Management: Hunting plays a vital role in population control and habitat care. Partnerships Matter: Collaborations between agencies, NGOs, and hunters amplify success.

To paraphrase British historian Lord Acton: “[Money] tends to corrupt, and absolute [money] corrupts absolutely.”During my time as a Texas elected official, I happened to witness an almost vaudevillian performance of Lord Acton's axiom on the floor of our state senate. A multimillionaire named Bo Pilgrim, baron of a factory chicken empire called Pilgrim's Pride, had come to the Capitol to speak against a bill requiring corporations like his to provide decent workers' compensation benefits. Bo didn't speak in words, however – he simply walked onto the senate floor and brazenly handed out $10,000 checks to compliant senators.Today, corporate political money doesn't just talk, it screams – drowning out the voices of all who oppose the special favors the corrupt “donors” buy. And these days, a $10,000 check is considered almost charming in its innocence.Take Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a far-right-wing demagogic politico who prides himself on demonizing and directly harming poor and powerless people, while scooping up fantastic donations from the financial powers he serves. This year, after railroading a slew of corporate gimmies into law, Abbott cashed in. Last month alone, he pocketed four million-dollar checks – one each from a real estate titan, a ruthless pipeline autocrat, a Trump backing money manager, and one of Elon Musk's corporate operatives.Excuse me for speaking out, but this is a gross example of kakistocracy – government by and for the very worst people in society. If they didn't shower him with cash, even Greg Abbott wouldn't speak to them. It's time to start calling this what the dictionary plainly says it is: Bribery.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Ballot box biology, poaching crackdowns, and new hunting tech—here's what's shaping conservation policy. In this episode of The Sportsmen's Voice Roundup, Fred dives into the most important hunting and conservation news across the country. From stronger poaching penalties in New Hampshire to landmark private property rights legislation in North Carolina, sportsmen and women face major changes that will impact how we hunt, fish, and manage wildlife. Fred breaks down how ballot box biology continues to threaten science-based wildlife management and what hunters can do to fight back. You'll also hear how new hunting technologies are being debated for use in Indiana, and why smart tech could actually improve safety and reliability in the field. This episode is packed with updates on conservation funding, sportsmen's caucus collaboration, and how public education is key to defending our outdoor traditions. Whether you're a hunter, angler, or other conservationist, you'll come away informed and fired up to protect what matters most. Key Highlights: New Hampshire considers increased penalties for wildlife poaching. North Carolina advances property rights for private landowners. CSF defeats anti-sportsman legislation and passes key pro-hunting bills. Ballot initiatives continue to sideline science in wildlife management decisions. Indiana weighs the pros and cons of new hunting technologies. Conservation funding remains vital for effective fish and game management.

State Senator Molly Cook returned to work as an emergency nurse in her hometown of Houston at the conclusion of her freshman session a few weeks ago - only to be dragged back to the Capitol for a special session that, turns out, is a lot more about Governor Abbott doing the bidding of Donald Trump than helping Hill Country flood victims, or even addressing Dan Patrick's stupid THC ban. Senator Cook joined us for the first of a series of updates from Democratic lawmakers as the special session continues.Thanks for listening!

We kick off the Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series at the very beginning…it's Chuck's conversation with one of Brian Wilson's most towering influences, Ross Barbour of The Four Freshmen! His father Murry took Brian to see the legendary harmony group when he was 14, and he got the opportunity to meet them. The concert and that meeting had a profound effect on young Brian, who said, “My voice was shivering as I was talking to them…I was so in awe of them. It was one of the biggest moments in my life. [Their song] ‘It's a Blue World' made me cry. I learned to make four-part harmonies from the Four Freshmen.” Russ passed away back in 2011, which makes this posthumously released interview a particularly priceless buried treasure. Here's just a few of the many things that Ross discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:The genetic uniquenesses that combine to make family harmony an inimitable feat;Ross's fantasy of developing a barbershop harmony supercomputer;How Brian Wilson built upon The Four Freshmen sound for The Beach Boys;How the group achieved the sparkling sound of their Capitol recordings;From where Ross feels the melancholy in Brian's music originated;And what it felt like to ultimately be passed over in favor of groups like The Beach Boys who wouldn't even exist without The Four Freshmen.There'll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti's Patreon.

This podcast series started in January 2021. The first episode was on the Insurrection at the Capitol, instigated by Trump on the basis of his claim that the 2020 election was stolen. This episode was recorded just shy of a week away from Trump's second inauguration as President of the United States. Trump's signature policy proposals during his campaign had to do with deporting millions of illegal immigrants, closing the boarders, imposing tariffs on international trade, and returning to a kind of isolationism in foreign policy by removing US military support for Ukraine. Trump had gone on to implement many of those policies. These are the hallmarks of a closed society, something resembling a tribe, caring for nothing but itself, “on the alert for attack or defence” as Bergson said. This episode revisits an old idea of an Open society, coined by Karl Popper in his book The Open Society and Its Enemies. Jason Alexander McKenzie is a professor of philosophy at the London School of Economics and has written a (free access) book entitled The Open Society As An Enemy published by LSE Press, in which he defense the open society at a time when it's under great duress.

Maybe, just maybe, "Yesterday"...And Today, was a modern-day Robin Hood (Men In Tights). Sure it stole from the rich, in this case, the U.K. "Revolver". But it also gave to the poor, in this case, American Baby Boomers, whose dreams would eventually be crushed under the weight of their own selfish interests from a life unfulfilled. Anyhoo! The Gab 2 dissect this essential Capitol album, and butcher both facts and myths as they discuss it and more, like:

Author and conspiracy researcher Mike Rothschild joins Chris to unpack the rise, evolution, and enduring influence of QAnon. They explore its blend of old and new conspiracies, its gamified social appeal, and the algorithmic fuel behind its viral spread. Mike explains how QAnon adapted across borders, embedded itself into mainstream politics, and fostered real-world violence—culminating in the January 6 Capitol attack. They also examine QAnon's psychological grip, its creative and authoritarian appeal, and how families and societies can respond. Plus, COVID's role in supercharging conspiracies, why Russia's role may be overstated, and the challenges of countering disinformation in the age of social media.

During Donald Trump's first term, the Supreme Court made some effort to check his power. But that era is over. The court has ruled that Trump cannot be prosecuted for actions he took as president, including for his role in the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and it just wrapped its latest term by restricting lower courts' power to block his unlawful orders on issues like birthright citizenship, abortion care, and immigrants' basic rights. “What the Supreme Court did is it limited lower courts' ability to use what has been the most effective tool that lower courts have to reign in the Trump administration's lawlessness, which is to block a policy on a nationwide basis,” says Leah Litman, author of the new book, “Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes.” This week on The Intercept Briefing, newsroom counsel and correspondent Shawn Musgrave speaks with professor and attorney Litman and politics reporter Jessica Washington about how the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority is laying the legal foundation for unchecked executive lawlessness — and signaling to Trump that it won't stand in his way.

French aristocrat Lafayette was a teenager when he came to the U.S. to help the Patriots win the Revolutionary War. He pinned Cornwallis in Yorktown until Washington and Rochambeau arrived for the final encounter. He pulled off one of the greatest escapes in military history, after being completely surrounded. He used his influence with France's king to speed up support to the Patriot cause. He's the only foreigner whose portrait hangs in the U.S. Capitol.

President Donald Trump left the White House in 2021 with a historically low approval rating. After the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, his attempt to overthrow the 2020 presidential election, and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, Republicans, and much of the nation, appeared ready to move on from his presidency. Three years later, Trump returned to the White House with a decisive victory. But his return wasn't predestined. In “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” Post senior White House reporter Isaac Arnsdorf and former Post reporters Josh Dawsey and Tyler Pager reveal how Trump used his public criminal trials to dominate headlines and amass support. Meanwhile, critical missteps by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris's campaigns hampered their ability to counter a Trump comeback. Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with Arnsdorf about the book and discusses exclusive reporting about the Biden, Harris and Trump campaigns. Today's show was produced by Arjun Singh. It was edited by Laura Benshoff and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Katy Burnell Evans. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.
