Shark Science Career Advice: In this episode of Beyond Jaws, we sit down with Kenzie Horton, a passionate early-career shark biologist who's turning childhood snorkel trips into a mission to protect sharks and educate the public. From chasing fish with a disposable underwater camera to studying white shark migration off the Carolinas, Kenzie's story is one of drive, persistence, and unshakable curiosity. She discusses the ups and downs of becoming a marine biologist, how she found her way into shark research, and what she's learned through internships, grad school, and outreach. White shark research: Kenzie walks us through her master's thesis on white shark movements, her work at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, and the importance of finding mentors who believe in your goals. She talks candidly about the challenges of breaking into the field, why she turned to TikTok to inspire others, and how she's navigating career decisions post-graduation, including the possibility of a PhD. If you're dreaming of a career in shark science or just love a good marine biology story, this is a must-listen.

Hey, Charlie. Let's talk. It's the right talk show. Charlie. Welcome. This is the Charlie James Show. Now we're talking. News talk ninety eight nine. The voice of The Carolinas. Welcome to the program on your Tuesday afternoon. Thank you so much for tuning in. What a wonderful, beautiful day we got going on outside. Gonna get even nicer tonight. Loads are gonna be getting down there. Upper fifties, early, or, low sixties. That's gonna be really, really nice. I I've got a question for you guys, to start the show off with. What are you people doing over there in Greenwood? What is the what is going on with you folks? And your earthquakes, what are you doing over there? You having you a big party over there or something? Everybody's jumping up and down? Can you believe the amount of earthquakes that Greenwood has had? This is from let's see. A cluster of small earthquakes has shaken communities in Greenwood County, South Carolina with the US Geological Survey confirming at least 13 quakes since August 19. 13. I know what it is. I know what it is. 13. That's Taylor Swift's lucky number. And now she's gotten engaged. You guys were just ramping up the whole engagement thing for I know I know you people. Most of the seismic activity was recorded near Coronica, an unincorporated community about seven miles east of Greenwood according to the USGS. 11 of the earthquakes struck within a sixty four hour span from August 23 to August 25 with magnitude ranging from 1.7 to three point zero. Two of the strongest quakes, a 2.9 and a three point zero, struck early August 23. Reports of shaking, were widespread with the three point o magnitude tremor, and that was felt as far away as Rhode Island where I was. I didn't notice any shaking when I was on Rhode Island, but, again, I was at Taylor Swift's house. Not technically. Not actually in her house, but I was there on the outside of her house. But, anyway, it's all Taylor Swift today because she and, Kelsey, got engaged. So I know nobody cares. I don't either. But, it's pretty amazing. South Carolina Emergency Management also confirmed another 1.7 magnitude earthquake, Northwest of Corona around 05:04 yesterday afternoon. Didn't feel that one either. Man, that's a lot of earthquakes. You guys got so we had a 2.2, 1.7, 2.9, three point o, 2.5, 1.9, and yada yada yada. Man, I'm telling you. You got a little got a little earthquake cluster going on over there in Greenwood. So y'all be careful out there, man. You never know when the big one is gonna hit. Well, the Democrat National Committee, the DNC, they're having their annual meeting this week in Minneapolis of all places, and they have done something today. They started out with this. It was a resolution to condemn the first six months of the Trump presidency. Let's now move to resolution number two, condemning the first six months of the second Trump administration discussion. Seeing no further discussion, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Resolution two passes. So they condemned the first six months of the president's administration, 47. Right? So what are they actually condemning? What are they here's and, boy, I tell you what, here's what what I always say, you just look at what they applaud. What is this saying? Your booze don't affect me. I've seen what you applaud. Look at what they applaud. Look at what they love to hate. Deporting criminal illegal alien aliens. They don't like that. Securing the border. Oh. Exposing government waste, fraud, and abuse. Oh, how dare they? Cracking down on crime in US cities. Oh, no. No. Can't have that. Securing peace deals. No. Banning men from invading women's private spaces, stopping the chemical and surgical castration of children, ending radical political indoctrination in schools, creating historic trade deals, bringing trillions of dollars worth of investment to The United States. These are the things that the Democrats do not like. They don't like tha ...

Charlie speaks. You listen on your time. Get the show on demand. Text podcast to 809050989. The Charlie Jane Show on News Talk 989, w o r d. The voice of The Carolinas. Here's what I'm and I always always use this, this analogy with Trump. He's it's just like the television show House. Just like the TV show House. Every episode, somebody comes in, they got this strange disorder or disease, and House says, well, it's it's this. And everybody goes, no. It's not that. It doesn't have this symptom and that symptom and that symptom and all of that. And House is like, I know what it is. Now you don't, House. You're an idiot. And then at the end of the episode, it always turns out that House was right. You know, it's it's basically every episode of House. So now they're all like, oh, I can't believe Trump is doing this, and I can't believe. You are learning you are running out of things very quickly for you not to believe Trump is doing. Oh, I can't believe he's gonna do this. Oh, oh, I can't believe Trump is imposing all those tariffs. How have those worked out? We're we're we're bringing in what? $260,000,000,000 over that into the treasury because of tariffs? 260 and it's more than that, actually, once you annualize it. Oh, I can't believe it. Well, just sit back and watch. That's what I'm gonna do. This is a guy that I voted for. This is a guy I support. So when president Trump says, hey. You know what? We're gonna take troops into Washington DC, and we're gonna clean that town up. I'm like, okay. Let's see what goes on here. And he's been an amazing success. There are people now able to walk the streets of Washington DC. They can do that now. They can go out in public. They're not worried about being, you know, robbed and mugged and beaten and raped. Yeah. So I'm just gonna let these things play out. So then I'm hearing all of this stuff, and I'm we're gonna talk about this coming up in a little bit. Charlie. Oh, Charlie. Can you believe that Donald Trump has made it illegal to burn the American flag? Can you believe that's what he did? Oh, Charlie. I can't apparently, all you read was the headlines. All you read were the headlines. You know nothing about what the executive order actually says. Well, we'll break that down for you coming up in just a wee bit. But right now, they're talking about maybe, and he's not gonna send troops. He's not gonna send the National Guard into Chicago without the governor asking. That's what Trump said. But here's old JB Pritzker, also known as the, the state puffed marshmallow man. Here he is. To tell the president that his proposed actions will make our jobs harder and the lives of our residents worse. Earlier today in the Oval Office, Donald Trump looked at the assembled cameras and asked for me personally to say, mister president, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, mister president, do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here. Your remarks about this effort over the last several weeks have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties. What an idiot. What an idiot. So what they're doing in these country in these cities all across America, the Democrat run cities, they're actually fudging the books. They're cooking the books on crime. They're they're they're listing homicides as accidental deaths. They're downgrading assaults. They're not even counting some violent assaults. They're not doing that. So they're cooking the books on crime to make themselves look better. Meanwhile, who is actually being hurt? The citizens of places like Chicago. In fact, the governor of Maryland, Wes Moore, has said that over 300,000 people have left Baltimore because of crime. Remember when Trump called Baltimore a blank hole and the media went all crazy about it? It's a rat infested I'd love this. It was great. He called it a rat infested blank hole. So they they they sent a reporter out, and this reporter was out in Baltimore. And s ...

Florida citrus and specialty crops remain a central focus of growers, industry leaders, and policymakers, with challenges such as citrus greening, hurricanes, labor shortages, and fluctuating markets shaping the future. At the Citrus and Specialty Crop Expo in Tampa, Specialty Crop Grower editor-in-chief Frank Giles shared his perspective on where the industry stands and why there is cautious optimism moving forward.   Giles noted that citrus greening disease, or HLB, has plagued Florida growers for nearly 20 years, but recent USDA crop estimates show signs of stability. “There's some optimism that we may be turning in the right direction with this disease,” he said, pointing to ongoing research and grower investments through programs like the Citrus Research and Field Trials Program (CRAFT), which has already supported about 20,000 acres of new citrus.   Policy changes are also giving growers breathing room. The lowering of BRIX standards for orange juice has made more fruit eligible for processing, a “big breakthrough” that industry leaders have sought for years. Additionally, block grants for hurricane relief and over $100 million in state funding for citrus research are providing critical support.   Specialty crop growers beyond citrus have faced pressure from low prices and rising input costs, but Florida's crop diversity—from tomatoes and sweet corn to blueberries and watermelons—creates resilience. Giles emphasized that networking and shared innovation at the Expo help farmers across the Southeast and California learn from each other's challenges.   Labor and automation remain front and center in the discussion. Growers are looking to drones, mechanical harvesters, and new precision technologies to offset rising labor costs. “Part of this whole labor discussion is we need to be investing in automation,” Giles said, noting that mechanical blueberry harvesting is gaining traction while strawberries remain more difficult to automate.   The Specialty Crop Grower magazine continues to highlight these developments across Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and the Carolinas. According to Giles, its role is not only to share production insights but also to focus more on the business side of specialty crops—a vital area for growers navigating today's volatile markets.   For more coverage from the Citrus and Specialty Crop Expo and ongoing industry updates, visit AgNet West and Specialty Crop Grower.

Send us a textIs the economy heading for a soft landing… or a “touch-and-go”? Scott Meyers is joined with economist Mark Vitner, to unpack why commercial real estate got overpriced during the low-rate era, how self-storage cap rates often move differently from other asset classes, and what falling market rates plus clearer tariff policy could mean for deals ahead.Vitner flags a likely 75 bps easing path and a housing cool-stress-relief scenario (mortgages in the 6–6.5% band), with meaningful improvement showing up around April next year.  He also maps migration winners (Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia; continued heat in Dallas, Houston, Miami, Charlotte, Raleigh) and why that churn is good for storage—plus practical advice for operators and new investors alike. WHAT TO LISTEN FOR7:01 How ultra-low rates inflated CRE values8:40 Why self-storage cap rates can buck the trend13:55 Vitner's “touch-and-go” landing and 75 bps roadmap27:51 Florida's out-migration—and the Carolinas surge29:28 Today's hottest metros for storage demand  Leave a positive rating for this podcast with one click CONNECT WITH MARK VITNERLinkedIn | Website CONNECT WITH USWebsite | You Tube | Facebook | X | LinkedIn | Instagram Follow so you never miss a NEW episode!

The long-awaited "Big Beautiful Bill" has finally passed, and it's reshaping America's construction and housing landscape in ways both expected and surprising. Donnie and Eric dive deep into this massive legislation to unpack what it really means for contractors, developers, homebuyers, and the future of housing affordability.As rain continues to plague construction schedules across the Carolinas, Donnie shares invaluable insights about an unexpected side effect – widespread bathroom ceiling mold caused by malfunctioning vent fans. This practical advice alone could save homeowners thousands in unnecessary roof repairs when the real culprit is a simple damper issue.The heart of the conversation examines the BBB's most impactful provisions. Contractors will celebrate the 100% equipment deduction that's already enabling business expansion, while developers gain advantages through increased Low Income Housing Tax Credits and streamlined permitting processes. The hosts thoughtfully debate whether these benefits will ultimately reach homebuyers or remain primarily with developers.Perhaps most forward-thinking is the provision allowing 529 savings accounts to fund skilled trade education. With associate degrees in construction technology costing just $1,400 per semester at North Carolina tech schools, this opens crucial pathways into trades desperately seeking qualified workers. As Donnie notes, "You have no idea how far you're separated from the rest of the construction population just by being able-bodied, smart, having a valid driver's license, and showing up on time."For those discouraged by the seeming lack of direct assistance for first-time homebuyers, the hosts point listeners toward valuable resources through the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency. The conversation concludes with cautious optimism that while the initial benefits favor developers and production, a stronger construction sector will eventually create more affordable housing options.Ready to navigate the changing construction landscape?

And welcome back to the program. Let's go to the WRID chalk line. We'll talk to Dean in Cashville. How are you doing, Dean? Not bad, Charlie. And I don't know what the message someone's seeing on Facebook was, but the service you're doing for this community is immense. And the reason I mentioned this is the fault you all cut you all are the voice of the Carolinas. And that's that means a lot of people do not realize what's at stake in this sheriff's race. Yeah. Charlie, you if you have not been to Downtown Spartanburg, the Montgomery Building that has been restored, there is the lobby is vintage nineteen twenties. It's gorgeous. They've got another new hotel, and I've not been to Boiling Springs in years. Right. Their target is amazing. So what I'm saying is there's a lot of money coming into Spartanburg, a lot of development. And that when you talk to the sheriff, this is one issue that it's like going to Downtown Spartanburg. That would be a great thing to do. This is why what you're doing is so important and why I wanted I just wanted to thank you for what you do. And the Montgomery Building in Spartanburg is gorgeous. Well, I appreciate it. Thank you very much, Dean. Let's go to David in Greenville and talk to him. David, what's on your mind this afternoon? Well, you're talking, I'm one of those people like you who was glad that, I see the police drive through drive through my neighborhood. Yeah. Well, this morning, I went to parties to have my twice weekly breakfast there. Alright. There is this, no time to make it racial here, but this black woman had a couple of small children with her. Well, the, two police officers come in. Guess what? The smallest child started dealing when he saw police walk up. Oh, no. What? He's screaming and crying and checking. I hate you, police. I hate you. Oh my gosh. And that's that's it. I mean, you people teach their children to be afraid of police officers, and that is completely the wrong thing to do because who are they gonna run to if there's a problem? I appreciate it, David. Thank you. Let's go to Melissa in Malden. Melissa, welcome to you. Hello, Charlie. How are you? I'm doing good. How about yourself? Wait. Melissa from Malden. Yes, ma'am. What's going on?

I mean, not a walker, a cane, and a pizza in one hand, cane in the other, walking to my front door. He's 80 years old, and he cannot survive of his Social Security check. I I mean, I literally talked to him for, like, ten minutes. Yeah. But my husband's in the same boat. He's 70. He's living off Social Security. And my thing is is, like, all of this money that American taxpayers have sent for the illegals through Social Security Yeah. The during the Biden administration. You are right. When are our so when when are our seniors gonna get a a check? A decent raise. They need it they need to be repaid because this is ridiculous. This poor man is delivering pizzas at 80 years old. Right. Yeah. Just do. A cane. Yeah. I understand. Unacceptable. It is unacceptable. And and then the Biden administration, they literally stole money from taxpayers. I appreciate it, Melissa. Stole and it's not just the illegal aliens. It's the people that are getting Social Security illegally. Those are the only people that the Republicans are looking at kicking off the Social Security roles and the Medicare roles and the Medicaid roles are the people that are gaming the system. They're the ones that are stealing from the American people, but the Democrats, they're like, oh, no. We have to protect those. Alright. I got a nasty. I got a nasty email yesterday. We told you about the story yesterday about, these animal advocates who basically, according to the sheriff's department, stole this little dog named Max. They named it Max.
