Podcasts about CDS

The gospel worker from China was stunned by how many biblical resources were available to Christians in America. He created a plan to scan one Bible commentary onto CDs that could be carried back into China and copied for underground Christians there. But he needed help. He reached out to find a more technically-capable person to help with the process—and an international ministry was birthed! Ken Bitgood was the young man recruited to help with that scanning project. Today he and Digital Bible Society are distributing Scripture resources in more than 4,500 languages! When Ken first became a follower of Jesus, he was encouraged to live in God's Word. He'll tell how he did that (with the help of a car stereo) and how it birthed in him a passion to see people of all nations, tribes, and tongues access the riches of the Bible and Christian resources to encourage and edify the Body of Christ around the world. In their 25th year of ministry, the Digital Bible Society is working alongside more than 400 organizations to distribute resources, free and free to copy, in over 6,000 languages. Ken will share a story of a man from Beijing he met at a conference, who pointed to the DBS resources and said, "This is what put me in jail!" You'll hear more of Ken's heart to see laborers in the harvest fields as he shares his belief that every language should have God's Word translated for them in his lifetime. Visit the Bible Access List to learn more about where there is a shortage of Bibles and places that are restricted from having God's Word.

Dust off that giant binder of scratched CDs you definitely didn't throw away because apparently funny podcast history has come full circle: physical media is making a comeback.The show kicks off with the surprising resurgence of CDs, with sales jumping while vinyl growth slows down. Why? Turns out paying nearly $40 for a new record eventually makes people reconsider the humble compact disc. Gen Z is getting into CDs, independent record stores are stocking more of them, older cars still have CD players, and there's something comforting about owning music that can't suddenly disappear from a streaming service. Moon also realizes those boxes of old band CDs might not be useless relics after all. Congratulations to everyone who refused to clean out their basement. Your moment has arrived.Then Crap on Celebrities takes us directly into the wildly expensive world of Hollywood memorabilia. A screen-matched mosquito-in-amber prop from the original Jurassic Park sells for more than $400,000, while Christopher Reeve's Superman gear and John Travolta's famous Saturday Night Fever suit also bring ridiculous money at auction.Naturally, this becomes less about collecting important pieces of movie history and more about whether you're morally obligated to PUT THE COSTUME ON.Because if you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Superman's costume just to leave it behind glass, what are we even doing here?The crew also gets into entertainment news, including the changing timeline between theatrical releases and streaming, Toy Story 5, a live-action Scooby-Doo prequel, and Ghost taking a hiatus after Tobias Forge admits he doesn't currently have a clear vision for the band's next album. We salute a man willing to say, “I don't know what the next thing is yet,” instead of releasing twelve remixes and a commemorative popcorn bucket.Then there's Grand Theft Auto.The latest massive GTA preview sends the room into gamer mode as the crew talks about the gigantic map, Jason and Lucia's evolving relationship, smarter cops, surveillance cameras, changing disguises, massive police chases and an enormous story that could consume roughly 80 hours of your life.So basically, Rockstar has created a second full-time job, except this one lets you steal cars.The funny podcast chaos keeps rolling with Paris Hilton landing on a list of influential people in artificial intelligence because of her advocacy surrounding privacy and non-consensual AI-generated media. Then the hunt for the next James Bond gives everyone a chance to evaluate candidates with the rigorous casting standards you'd expect from three guys who immediately nominate Mr. Bean.And finally, we tackle one of the most important databases ever assembled: tall and short rock stars.Chris Novoselic. Danny Carey. Mick Fleetwood. Buckethead. Joey Ramone. Billy Corgan. Angus Young. Prince. Glenn Danzig. Stevie Nicks. The measurements are flying, everyone suddenly seems either seven feet tall or legally eligible for a booster seat, and we discover once again that stage presence apparently adds about eight inches.Throw in celebrity birthdays, Luis Guzmán appreciation, Warren Buffett confusion, Charlie Munger confusion, additional Charlie confusion, and the traditional descent into nonsense, and you've got another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Physical media is back. Movie props cost more than retirement. GTA may require PTO. And Danzig is still Danzig at any height.That's enough education for one day.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's episode begins exactly where every respectable radio program should: debating canned chili and whether The Rizzuto Show should abandon broadcasting altogether to open a chili parlor. Because apparently decades of radio experience were merely preparation for serving questionable bowls of meat during a St. Louis summer.The crew gets into a disturbing local story involving two kittens rescued after being thrown from a moving vehicle, which launches a conversation about animal cruelty, punishment, and why there have been so many bizarre animal-abuse cases around the St. Louis area. Thankfully, the kittens are recovering, because this show has enough emotional damage without adding more.Then we head to the amusement park formerly known as Six Flags, talk about its new Mid America Adventure identity, and immediately start remembering the various roller coasters that have spent decades attempting to rearrange our internal organs. That leads us to California's X2 coaster and reports of riders suffering terrifying medical emergencies. Naturally, half the room hears “brain hemorrhage” and responds like someone just announced a new thrill ride they absolutely have to try.Rafe also gives us an update from the dating world, including his Texas connection and the increasingly complicated rules surrounding modern romance. That turns into the question every hopeless romantic eventually has to answer: is a grand gesture thoughtful… or are you about three seconds away from appearing in somebody's “THIS GUY IS A CREEP” TikTok?A guy goes on two dates with a woman, finds her address without asking, and sends her Mother's Day flowers supposedly from her dog. Sweet? Creepy? Thirsty? The Rizz Show Supreme Court is now in session, and absolutely nobody involved has passed the bar.Apparently this question is complicated enough to involve law enforcement, surveillance footage, social media, and an actual public search for the guy who picked up the cash. Suddenly our daily comedy podcast has become CSI: Walmart, where the suspect is armed with three ten-dollar bills and an extremely debatable interpretation of “finders keepers.”We also get into air-travel nightmares after a pilot suffers a medical emergency during a flight and still manages to help get the plane safely on the ground. Meanwhile, Moon is preparing to fly, which is exactly the kind of story you want to hear immediately before heading to an airport.The episode's namesake saga involves Yolanda Jackson, a drive-through order, a dangerously hot pot pie, severe burns, permanent scarring, and the resulting courtroom battle. Nothing says daily comedy quite like discovering your food apparently requires protective equipment.It's another episode filled with St. Louis stories, weird news, dating disasters, food catastrophes, questionable financial ethics, amusement-park trauma, and the kind of conversations that start somewhere reasonable before wandering directly into the woods.Dust off that giant binder of scratched CDs you definitely didn't throw away because apparently funny podcast history has come full circle: physical media is making a comeback.The show kicks off with the surprising resurgence of CDs, with sales jumping while vinyl growth slows down.

The measurements are flying, everyone suddenly seems either seven feet tall or legally eligible for a booster seat, and we discover once again that stage presence apparently adds about eight inches.Carefully constructed journeys through comedy, culture, and the human condition. This one starts with an eagle call, gets yelled at by an offended listener, drinks imaginary Malört, sends Riz back to college, remembers the horrors of Rotten.com, and eventually makes everybody emotional over Dolly Parton. So… basically the same thing.The Rizzuto Show kicks off with Team JB and the Zero Prostate Cancer Run and Walk in memory of our buddy Jeff Burton, plus Greek Fire getting ready for a show benefiting Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. Then we get into one of radio's oldest traditions: somebody getting mad enough at the show to contact the bosses.This time, a listener wasn't thrilled about the proximity of the Porno Birthday to a children's charity announcement. Riz got the dreaded “Can I see you before you leave?” message, and suddenly we're debating whether everybody is too easily offended, whether people need to watch what they say, and whether society could possibly locate that mythical middle ground where empathy and a sense of humor coexist.Rafe brings the comedian's perspective to the argument, including the audience member who loves 99 jokes but desperately needs to inform you about the one they didn't like. Our solution remains remarkably simple: maybe leave that joke at the club and take the other ones home.We discover that Malört has somehow created an entire identity around tasting terrible. Most companies try to convince customers their product is delicious. Malört basically dares you to survive it. The gang dives into its hilariously hostile marketing, its reputation as Chicago's favorite way to punish a friend, and the important question nobody has apparently answered: Is anyone ordering this stuff because they actually enjoy it?From there, we say farewell to Sam Rizzuto's dream of college independence after Riz tours the University of Arkansas and realizes he might want the full college experience himself. Suddenly we're imagining a Back to School scenario where father and son become Razorbacks together, share a dorm, take Intro to Communications, and graduate in the same class. Nothing weird about that whatsoever, Sam. Your new roommate just happens to be Dad.The real RIPs begin with tributes to Peter Cullen and Tim Curry, celebrating two remarkable careers and the voices, characters, movies, and performances they left behind.Finally, Rafe delivers a deeply personal tribute to Dolly Parton.It's funny, sincere, personal, and probably more emotionally responsible than anything surrounding the previous discussion of Malört.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Two kittens recovering after being thrown from vehicle, covered in what shelter believes was bleachSix Flags St. Louis officially rebrands as Mid America AdventureIntense Six Flags Coaster Closed After Two Riders Suffer Brain Hemorrhages: “It's Got to Stop”Man Finds $30 on the Ground, Then Learns He's Wanted by PoliceDelta flight from LA to Boston lands in Detroit as captain gets sick: "I am the one who is ill"Woman left scarred by burns from Church's Chicken pot pie wins $20,000 in lawsuitMiss Sheri's Cafeteria closing after 54 yearsNever-Ending Pasta Bowl returns to Olive Garden menu at special price for limited timeCouple accused of stealing hundreds of library books to resellBloomington Man, 19, Charged After Applebee's Bomb Threat Over Slow FoodFlorida man caught speeding claimed he was rushing to Buc-ee's bathroomSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week we're joined by Michael Cochren, the soul-and-blues frontman of Cochren & Co. He talks about the eight years he spent waiting on an answer from God and why he refuses to say God is good just because things finally worked out. We spotlight the band's new album, 'Runs in the Blood.'In RELEVANT Buzz, Cory Asbury posted and deleted a shirtless workout photo, apologized for it and then got roasted by every friend he has in Christian music. Also, survivors launched the first national database of Protestant leaders accused of abuse, years after the SBC voted to build one and then let it die. And The Promised Land, the Moses workplace mockumentary that started as a YouTube pilot, just signed Lionsgate and got a second season.In Slices, Columbia House is finally shutting down, which mostly raises the question of how it was still open, and one of us confesses to running a stack of accounts under slightly different names to get free CDs as a teenager. And a woman in New Zealand went into cardiac arrest in a supermarket parking lot, got revived by a stranger and then got a parking ticket for it. Also in here: a follow-up on the resting heart rate situation, a public service announcement about energy drinks, and the actual reason last week's episode showed up five days late.One Has to Go closes it out.

You've spent decades building a nest egg large enough to fund the retirement you want. The next challenge is making sure it can support that same lifestyle for the next 30 years. At 3% historical inflation, the $100,000 lifestyle you retire on could cost $240,000 a year by age 90. And the assets that feel safest — cash, CDs, and money market funds — have historically done the least to keep up. In this episode, I'm simplifying a century of market history into 8 numbers that shape how long your money lasts. Here's what you'll learn: → The hidden cost of playing it safe with money you won't need for decades → The 2 bond numbers that look nearly identical, and the risk hiding between them → How they all fit together into a simple framework for making confident decisions My hope is that when we're done, you have a small set of reference points to return to, and a lot less noise competing for your attention. ***

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the show where we explore how melody can lift us out of life's darkest moments. In today's powerful episode, host James Cox sits down with Darcell—a gospel‑raised, Jesus‑following singer‑songwriter, producer, and indie‑entrepreneur whose life reads like a modern‑day odyssey.From a five‑year‑old crooning in his dad's gospel group in Dallas, to a solo trek that landed him in Los Angeles with just $120, a car, and a dream, Darcell recounts the gritty reality of homelessness, the grit of sleeping in his vehicle, and the relentless hustle of selling CDs out of his trunk. Yet through every setback—rejected record deals, industry exploitation, and the loss of his father—he kept composing, letting music become his lifeline and his testimony.Darcell shares how a pivotal moment with his grandmother ignited his piano skills, why he eventually turned his back on streaming platforms to give fans true ownership of his songs, and how he now sells every track and album directly through darcelle.net—the “Fresh and Direct Store.” He also talks about his experiments with EDM to broaden a song's reach, his acting gigs, his vision of a future that blends music, film, and community, and the priceless advice that finally pushed him to “do it yourself.”Whether you're a budding artist, a fan of raw, faith‑filled storytelling, or simply someone looking for hope in the grind, this conversation delivers raw honesty, humor, and a reminder that even when the road feels cold and lonely, a piano key—and a steadfast belief in a higher purpose—can keep you moving forward.Stay tuned, turn up the volume, and let Darcell's journey inspire the next chapter of your own soundtrack.

Christian music has changed a lot over the years, but the questions surrounding it haven't completely gone away.In this episode, we're talking about the music Christians listen to and the music we sing together in church. Is all Christian music worship music? What makes a song appropriate for corporate worship? Does genre matter? And how much should the quality of a church's music influence our experience of worship?We also share some of the hymns, songs, artists, and even old-school Christian albums that have shaped us along the way. From How Great Thou Art and Ron Hamilton to Lecrae, Cody Carnes, and a few CDs we probably wore out years ago, this conversation covers a lot of musical ground.Believe to See PlaylistAnd this is only part one. Next time, we tackle the other side of the conversation... Thanks for Listening! Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

Extended version of interview at Patreon.com/VinylGuide Topics Include: Nate welcomes back Chad Kassem to discuss vinyl and Vinyl Summit Chad recalls moving to Kansas in 1984 as CDs launched He rebuilt his collection, going against the CD trend Vinyl grew slowly for decades before COVID hit Chad bought his pressing plant and presses starting 2010-2011 CD had a 30-year lifespan; Chad always believed vinyl would survive COVID caused explosive demand, "gasoline on fire" growth Overbuying during the boom led to storage and inventory problems Chad had to borrow millions for the first time post-COVID Uneven state shutdown rules gave some competitors unfair advantages Post-COVID growth normalized back to its long-term slow trend Chad discusses his own taste: blues, jazz, rock from the 50s-70s Younger collectors now chase 90s titles like Alice in Chains Collecting interest shifts as older genres' fans age out Comparison to toy collecting trends fading with generations Rising interest in audiophile pressings like UHQR and One-Steps Chad explains why quality mastering and pressing both matter equally Originals aren't always better than modern remasters, and vice versa Small improvements across many steps add up to great records UHQR picks focus on undisputed classic albums Chad genuinely loves Kind of Blue UHQR sold nearly 40,000 copies combined Debate over pressing records at 33 vs 45 RPM speeds Vinyl compound and material costs rising, but slower than expected SACDs, reel-to-reel, and cassettes seeing renewed collector interest Only one lacquer manufacturer remains, a major industry vulnerability Skilled cutter-head repair techs are extremely rare and aging Chad discusses fragile supply chain: lacquers, tape, cutter heads Vinyl Summit announced: October 15-18, Salina, Kansas, 40th anniversary Event replaces old Blues Masters concerts, adds vinyl-industry access Details shared: tickets, guests, and proximity to Austin Record Fair High resolution version of this podcast is available at: www.Patreon.com/VinylGuide Apple: https://tinyurl.com/tvg-ios Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/tvg-spot Amazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/tvg-amazon Support the show at Patreon.com/VinylGuide

We're bringing back Blockbuster, burying Columbia House and somehow ending up inside the St. Louis Cardinals draft room. Just another morning where The Rizzuto Show refuses to pick a lane.First, a guy learns how to sing a hit song completely backwards so it sounds right when reversed, which is an incredible amount of effort dedicated to something gloriously unnecessary. Then we discover Free Blockbusters — neighborhood boxes where people swap DVDs, Blu-rays and VHS tapes like Little Free Libraries for people who still remember rewinding things.That sends us straight into a funeral for Columbia House, the legendary “11 albums for a penny” operation that helped build Rizz's music collection and apparently taught an entire generation of children their first lesson in questionable financial decisions. Rizz remembers physically mailing them a penny, getting Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi, then receiving bills while possessing the unbeatable legal defense of being approximately 11 years old.Plus, Crap on Celebrities delivers another pile of entertainment gossip and pop culture commentary before we bring in someone with actual credentials and briefly destroy the show's reputation.Cardinals assistant GM of scouting and acquisition and 2006 World Series champion Randy Flores joins the crew to talk Draft365: Scouting MLB's Future Stars and give us a fascinating look at how the Cardinals identify, evaluate and draft future players.Randy breaks down the absurd odds of making Major League Baseball, what scouts see beyond analytics, why struggling can actually reveal something important about a prospect, and how the Cardinals' nationwide scouting operation works.

Live from Vans Warped Tour Long Beach, CD Burners sits down with Derek Sanders of Mayday Parade to look back on 20 years of the band and their long history with Warped Tour. Derek takes us back to the days of following the tour in a van and selling CDs to kids in the crowd, talks about the awkward early shows that helped shape Mayday Parade, and reveals what it's like returning to Warped Tour two decades later. We also get into the band's massive Sweet, Sad, Sugar trilogy, the challenge of writing a Warped Tour setlist after 20 years of music, the heavier bands Derek wishes Mayday Parade could tour with, his hilariously named first bands, and whether making music still feels the same after all these years. Plus, the Warped Tour crowd gets to ask Derek a few questions of their own. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dr. Richard Swenson, author of The Overload Syndrome and Margin, writes that we need room to breathe—freedom to think, permission to heal, and space for relationships that can easily be starved by the relentless pace of life. That may describe more people today than ever. Many of us are physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially overloaded. There never seems to be enough time, money, or energy left at the end of the day to recover before everything starts again at full speed. The answer, at least in part, is something our culture often neglects: margin. Margin means leaving enough room in our lives to rest, reflect, recover, and reconnect with what matters most. It is, in a sense, taking a break before you break. The Cost of Living Without Margin A life without margin can carry serious physical, emotional, relational, and even financial consequences. Consider sleep. According to the Sleep Foundation, many Americans regularly struggle to get adequate rest, with a significant number of adults sleeping fewer than seven hours each night. Chronic sleep deprivation has been associated with health concerns including diabetes, obesity, anxiety, and heart disease. Lack of sleep also affects emotional health, relationships, and decision-making. That means rest is not merely a luxury. It is part of living wisely and caring responsibly for the bodies, relationships, and responsibilities God has entrusted to us. Perhaps life simply feels too fast right now. Working late nights and weekends may occasionally be necessary, but continuously burning the candle at both ends eventually becomes counterproductive. Exhaustion leaves little energy for the things that matter most—especially our relationships with others and with the Lord. God Designed Us for Work—and Rest Scripture consistently affirms the goodness of work. God calls us to provide for our families, serve others, practice generosity, and faithfully use the abilities and opportunities He has given us. We work to pay bills, save for future needs, give generously, and contribute to our communities. Productive work is part of God's design. But work is not all there is. Rest is God's idea too. In Genesis, God rested on the seventh day of creation—not because He was exhausted, but because His work was complete. He blessed the seventh day and set it apart. Later, Sabbath rest became part of the Ten Commandments given to Israel. Rest reminds us of an important spiritual reality: our worth does not depend on how much we accomplish. Author Rich Villodas has observed that Sabbath reminds us that our standing in Christ is not based on our works. A day of rest allows us to stop producing and remember that God's love for us has not changed. That can be especially difficult in a culture where technology makes it possible to work almost anywhere, at almost any hour. But just because we can keep working does not mean we always should. Healthy margin allows us to return to our work with purpose, energy, and gratitude, doing it “as for the Lord” (Colossians 3:23). Professional progress can be valuable, but chronic stress, damaged health, and neglected relationships are a high price to pay for it. Rest Is Not the Same as Laziness Biblical rest should not be confused with laziness. Laziness means neglecting the responsibilities God has given us or consistently refusing to do what needs to be done. Scripture repeatedly warns against that kind of idleness. Paul tells believers in 1 Thessalonians 5:14 to admonish the idle. In 2 Thessalonians 3, he addresses those who were refusing to work and instead becoming busybodies. There is an important distinction here. Rest restores us so we can return faithfully to the work God has given us. Idleness avoids that work altogether. Proverbs 31 gives us another picture of faithful diligence. The noble woman cares for her household, conducts business, helps the poor, and looks after those entrusted to her. Proverbs 31:27 says, “She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.” Fruitful labor honors God. But so does recognizing when it is time to stop. When Busyness Becomes Another Form of Distraction There is another danger worth recognizing: constant activity can sometimes disguise a lack of purpose. We may appear busy without actually being productive. Without intentional rest and reflection, our activity can become aimless distraction rather than faithful work. We move constantly but rarely stop long enough to ask whether we are moving in the right direction. Laziness can sometimes take an unexpected form as well. Instead of doing nothing, we may spend hours scrolling, shopping, watching, or distracting ourselves while neglecting relationships or responsibilities that matter more. Proverbs 24:30–34 paints a memorable picture of a neglected field covered with thorns and weeds. The lesson is simple: neglect eventually has consequences. If you struggle with procrastination or laziness, the answer is not shame. Bring that struggle to Christ. He offers forgiveness, wisdom, and strength to grow in faithfulness and diligence. Finding a Rhythm of Grace The encouraging news is that God's grace meets us in both extremes. Some of us are exhausted because we never stop working. Others feel stuck because we continually avoid the work before us. Christ invites both groups into something better: rhythms shaped by grace rather than guilt. Rest is not something we earn after proving ourselves productive enough. It is something we receive as a gift from God. Jesus gives this invitation in Matthew 11:28–30: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” If your life feels overloaded, perhaps the next faithful step is not finding a way to accomplish more. It may be creating enough margin to remember who you are, what matters most, and Who ultimately sustains you. Work faithfully. Rest gratefully. And remember that your security is not found in how much you accomplish, but in Christ. In Him, there is room to breathe. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: Someone I know has seen their credit card debt grow from about $10,000 to $25,000, and the account is now closed. I suspect missed payments and interest are driving the increase. How can I help them understand what's happening and make a plan to deal with the debt? My husband and I are both 77 and would like to avoid probate, but we don't have significant assets. Would an irrevocable trust make sense for us, and how can we find a qualified elder law attorney in Texas to help us understand our options? I'm retired and living comfortably on my pension, with about $125,000 in savings and $19,000 in checking. My bank keeps encouraging me to put the savings into CDs, but the rates don't seem very attractive. What should I consider doing with this money? I'm 59, debt-free, have a fully funded emergency fund, and am contributing to my 401(k). I also have about $200,000 to invest. I want reasonable growth without taking excessive risk. How should I think about investing this money, especially compared with options like fixed annuities or crypto?

Mawmas, while Snooki is in recovery mode from major surgery, our besties have left us another gift. A guide to the 2000s, with an all-inclusive flash back leaving us yearning for a time long ago (not that long though, we’re not that old). First, our besties are protesting the long, overheated summer. It’s time for the holidays! Speaking of sweaty summers, the two talk hygiene routines: it’s morning vs. evening showers. Then we’re on a wild ride to the past. Long before soul cycle, we had tanning salons for community, where befriending the receptionist was the key to your social life. It’s a mystery how we didn’t damage our skin and yet we’re claimed to be the youngest looking generation. After baking all day in the artificial sun and spa, we hit the parking lots, chain smoking and cranking CDs, pregaming on cheap jet fuel by the names of Cisco and Four Loko to get our nights going and save a few dollars. We were broke back in the day, and this was before $30 cocktails. The best part? The after party…at your local Mickey D’s…Taco Bell, Burger King, and White Castle. Why choose? And no 2000s tour is complete without a book club read from our favorite adopted Chilean author…Snooki Polizzi’s Confessions of a Guidette. The ULTIMATE guide to Y2K fashion era including tacky jewelry, four inch heels (minimum), and what it means to be a Meatball. VolumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apple device prices are soaring due to rising hardware costs, and their newest solution is to offer “forever leases” on iPhones, Macs, and iPads for a fixed monthly fee. While this subscription-style leasing model might make sense if you're a tech enthusiast, it's a dangerous financial trap for the average consumer. Before you fall for the low monthly sticker price—or get tied down by a carrier's misleading "free phone" promotion—understand the long-term cost to your wallet. On the savings front, everyday savers have a prime opportunity now to lock in high returns before interest rates drop. If you have cash you won't need for 1 to 5 years, Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are one of the safest ways to beat inflation. Clark walks us through how to easily purchase broker-placed CDs through top discount brokerages or reputable online banks, why you should strictly avoid giant mega-banks that offer virtually zero interest, and how to protect yourself from the predatory "auto-rollover" trap that slashes your rates the moment your term ends. Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the August 12, 2026, episode of The Clark Howard Show. Submit your opinions or questions: Ask Clark.

Celebrating 200 episodes, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, take Facts vs Feelings on the road to Boston for a live show, joined by special guest Art Hogan, Chief Market Strategist at B. Riley Wealth.Art opens by explaining his opinion on why the market keeps climbing despite bubble fears and Fed uncertainty: Second-quarter earnings growth came in far above expectations, broadening out across all 11 S&P 500 sectors rather than staying concentrated in mega-cap tech. That broadening, he argues, is why the equal-weight S&P 500 and the Russell 2000 are outpacing the market-cap-weighted index this year.The conversation moves to the Fed, where new Chair Kevin Warsh's terser, less transparent communication style rattled markets around his last two meetings. Sonu and Art debate whether AI should be viewed as an inflationary force, adding "workers" to the economy rather than acting as the historically disinflationary technology wave investors expect. They also dig into hyperscaler CapEx, rising CDS spreads on tech debt, and why Art thinks the field of dominant AI players will eventually narrow.Art also makes the case against comparing today's AI buildout to the dot-com bubble, citing real business models versus the 2,600 companies that went public between 1995 and 2000. Carson's Barry Gilbert, VP, Asset Allocation Strategist, joins to discuss how to actually invest in AI through a barbell approach, and the episode wraps with reflections on 200 episodes, gratitude for the team behind the podcast, and a toast with Art.Key TakeawaysQ2 2026 S&P 500 earnings growth beat expectations dramatically, with estimates that started around 13% rising above 23%, driving multiple compression from 23x to 19x forward earnings even as prices rose.For the first time in five quarters, all 11 S&P 500 sectors are showing significant earnings growth, with eight of 11 posting profit margin growth, explaining why the equal-weight index and Russell 2000 are outperforming the cap-weighted S&P 500.Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's less transparent communication style, including terse statements and non-committal press conferences, has unsettled markets around his last two meetings despite no actual policy surprises.NVIDIA is trading at a valuation multiple lower than the broader market despite 65-70% margins, reflecting investor uncertainty about whether AI mega-cap spending is near a cyclical peak.Small caps have returned roughly 21-22% year-to-date, with leadership shifting from unprofitable, speculative names early in the year to more profitable small caps as the market broadens out.Credit default swap spreads on hyperscaler debt are rising as investors reassess these companies from "capital-light, free-cash-flow-positive" to "capital-heavy, free-cash-flow-negative," with the market pricing in that only a handful of AI players will ultimately survive.Jump to:0:00 — Live From Boston for 2002:43 — Art Hogan Joins the Bar Talk3:06 — Earnings Growth Explains the Rally6:10 — Market Breadth and Nvidia Valuations9:02 — Pencils Down Origins and Rituals10:08 — Fed Communication and Inflation Anxiety13:40 — AI Spending Versus Productivity Payoff16:57 — Small Caps Benefit from Broadening19:50 — Hyperscalers Debt and Credit Skepticism23:41 — Timeless Advisor Advice Plus Bubble Myths27:31 — Why Profit Margins Keep Rising30:20 — How to Invest in AI Diversified35:52 — Contrarian Ideas International and Software39:39 — Gratitude Growth and a Carson Invite43:15 — Final Toast with Art HoganConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

Greg Foss is back. After stepping away from Twitter and spending time on Nostr, the veteran credit analyst explains what pulled him back: young people reaching for socialism, and credit markets he sees as far less healthy than equities. The credit default swap thesis. Foss walks through his method: take the CDS spread on U.S. government debt, multiply by total obligations including unfunded liabilities, then compare that to Bitcoin's market cap. He flagged his spread number as from memory. Why insurance, not a risk asset. Most holdings are short volatility: when volatility rises, they fall. Foss argues Bitcoin should do the opposite, and credits BlackRock's Larry Fink as one of the few in traditional finance framing it that way. The rate the Fed does not control. Warsh has suggested AI productivity gains leave room to cut. Foss points instead to the 10-year Treasury, set in the open market, which could rise if investors demand more for U.S. credit risk. Credit markets are flashing before equities. A listener asked about widening CDS spreads across AI infrastructure names. Foss compared NVIDIA's vendor financing to Nortel and Lucent in 2000, and pointed to CoreWeave's tight debt service covenant. Banking is a leveraged business. From inside an insolvent Bank of Boston in 1992, Foss saw the math up close: roughly $5 of equity behind every $100 loaned. He argues Bitcoin can act as a safety net against that fragility. Bitcoin mining versus AI data centers. Miners can switch off in seconds and chase stranded energy; AI workloads cannot. Suze raised UK curtailment spending and ERCOT's grid balancing record, and asked whether mining gets built into AI sites. What the ETFs changed. Foss says a Wall Street wrapper was necessary for institutional allocation, while raising the paper Bitcoin question. He runs a 5% of global assets thought experiment, stressing he is not certain it happens. Treasury companies as an evolution, not an endpoint. Foss says he admires Michael Saylor without admiring every lever pulled, notes the premium to underlying Bitcoin has collapsed toward parity, and expects these vehicles to matter less over time. Bitcoin as collateral, and pensions inching in. Foss calls Bitcoin pristine collateral and a natural extension of lending. Dom described recommending it to pension boards years ago and pointed to a Michigan 13F filing adding to its position.

This week's episode is a little about the family of Aurora, the main protagonist of The Thirteenth Hour sequel - Dare.  In many ways, the whole book is about family, but Aurora, who grew up in an orphanage on a different continent, never really knew her family and had no recollection of where she was originally from.   But she gets to know all about it this book, though not by choice.  In The Thirteenth Hour, there are hints that Aurora comes from a family of powerful magic users, but I left that plot thread intentionally hanging to explore one day in a future sequel.When Aurora is kidnapped, she is brought to a technologically advanced city (Aulurwen City, the capital) that looks something like this.  The black castle is where Aurora is brought and study magic and fulfill her family destiny.Aurora's parents are from neighboring countries.  They are both from Guardian families - these are the magic users of their world who channel, guard, and provide the magic their world runs on.Aurora's father when he was about three.  Marshall is Aurora's grandfather and also comes from a Guardian family, as does his wife, though he leaves that life when she gets sick.  Aurora's maternal family - her grandparents are sort of the opposite of her paternal family in look and personality.  They are outwardly cold, rigid, very thin, and very image and duty focused.   They believe their work as Guardians and maintaining a proper family blood line are most important.  Demetria is Aurora's teenage cousin and wants the position that Aurora is brought back for.  She views Aurora as a barbarian and is not shy about expressing her views.The castle where Aurora finds herself essentially captive has a color palate of whites, greys, and blacks - smooth, cold, minimalist, with sharp lines - a direct contrast to the natural environment of Aurora's home.  This is a sketch of the room where she is to stay (actually her mother's room as a child).  She is a bit overwhelmed by it, though later comes to appreciate some of the modern conveniences this world has.  Aurora's arc literally and figuratively has to do with figuring out what parts of this world and her heritage she wants to keep and which parts she does not want, similar to what all of grapple with as adults.    More next week!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes, CDs, and special editions of the album there as well.)-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

Where you invest your money is only part of the equation. Which accounts hold those investments, how they're taxed, and where you eventually take income from can have just as much impact on your financial plan. Brian Wiley and Jeremiah Bates begin with a listener looking for conservative retirement income, breaking down Treasury bills, notes and bonds, buying at auction versus the secondary market, bond ladders, CDs, annuities, interest-rate risk, and why avoiding state income tax shouldn't be the only consideration when choosing an investment. The conversation then turns to asset location and retirement income—how taxable accounts, traditional IRAs, 401(k)s and Roth IRAs should work together, and how taxes can influence which accounts you spend from in retirement. The hosts also discuss staying disciplined through market volatility, investing for younger generations, and compare Trump Accounts with 529 plans and custodial accounts. The show closes with listener questions on Backdoor Roth IRAs, the pro-rata rule, consolidating old retirement accounts, and how to fund large retirement expenses without creating unnecessary taxes.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com ————————————————————— Ataraxis PEO https://ataraxispeo.com Tree City Advisors of Apollon: https://www.treecityadvisors.com Apollon Wealth Management: https://apollonwealthmanagement.com/ —————————————————————

Richard Bernstein and David Rosenberg reunite to debate the Federal Reserve, inflation, the AI investment boom, market bubbles, gold and the case for international diversification. The former Merrill Lynch colleagues examine whether the Fed should raise rates, how AI CapEx is reshaping the U.S. economy, why credit markets may lead the AI trade, what is driving gold, and where investors may find opportunities outside the mega-cap U.S. market.Topics coveredWhy the Taylor Rule points toward higher rates and why Rosenberg thinks the Fed should not hikeWhat slowing GDP growth, productivity and labor costs suggest about underlying inflationHow AI CapEx and data center spending may be misallocating capital away from housing and the broader economyWhy the current AI boom differs from the late-1990s technology bubbleHow credit spreads, CDS markets and financing costs could signal trouble in the AI trade before equities doWhat real interest rates, the U.S. dollar and central bank demand mean for goldWhy Bernstein views gold as a portfolio spare tire rather than a short-term tradeWhy non-U.S. stocks and international markets may offer a better valuation and growth opportunityHow AI exposure extends beyond the Mag Seven into financials, industrials and utilitiesWhy CAPE valuations, leverage, sentiment and market positioning point to a highly speculative U.S. marketWhy diversification becomes most unpopular when investors may need it mostWhat Bob Farrell's market rules say about crowded positioning and consensus forecastsTimestamps00:00 Introduction08:31 Why Rosenberg thinks the Fed should not hike16:02 AI, data centers and capital misallocation25:08 What is driving gold: real rates, the dollar and central banks36:11 Why Bernstein sees a secular shift toward non-U.S. stocks41:41 How AI concentration extends beyond the technology sector48:31 International diversification as protection from AI concentration54:06 Bob Farrell's Rule 9 and the danger of consensus1:00:06 The housing-cycle warning Bernstein and Rosenberg saw before the financial crisisLearn more about the Excess Returns podcast network:https://excessreturns.coNo information discussed in this podcast should be construed as investment advice.

The AI trade might have found its canary in the coal mine. Leopold Aschenbrenner—a 25-year-old former OpenAI researcher built Situational Awareness into one of the hottest funds on Wall Street by betting long on the construction and infrastructure side of AI (Micron, CoreWeave) and short on the chips and software everyone else was chasing (Nvidia, Broadcom, Oracle). Then July happened, prime brokers made margin calls, and his entire public stock book got liquidated overnight in a single block trade. This episode uses that blowup as the lens for a much bigger story: how a three-quarters-of-a-trillion-dollar hyperscaler spending pledge is propping up U.S. GDP growth, why OpenAI just quietly cut prices as “tokenmaxxing” dies and Chinese labs undercut on cost, why Mark Zuckerberg picked a fight with OpenAI and Anthropic, how overleveraged Oracle has become, how the most profitable companies in the world are posting negative free cash flow, why hyperscaler bonds are going undersubscribed, and why the length of this year’s tech bond issuance is starting to crowd out the rest of the corporate debt market. It closes with the 2008 parallel: mortgage-backed securities stacked into CDOs stacked into synthetic swaps, and how today’s version runs through corporate bonds, CLOs, hedge fund leverage, and private credit—with Treasuries as the eventual exit ramp when the unwind accelerates.

In 2019, John Fenley was 39, newly separated, and living in one of his mother's rental apartments in Provo, Utah. Searching LoopNet for the biggest building at the lowest price, he found a 220,000-square-foot warehouse on 17 acres in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, listed at $375,000. He assumed the price was a typo. He had never been to Arkansas. He bought it anyway — and then bought Murfie, a bankrupt Wisconsin startup, inheriting roughly a million CDs belonging to strangers.What followed was copper thieves, a pandemic lockdown that stranded his shipping containers, a running battle with Pine Bluff's zoning office, and a feud with Go Forward Pine Bluff, the tax-funded nonprofit he believed was blocking him at every turn. Then an $890,000 windfall landed in his bank account, and he bought 74 parcels at a tax auction, making him one of the largest landowners in town. Writer Max Read dubbed him "The Man Who Bought Pine Bluff, Arkansas." Four years later, he's still there.Subscribe to our newsletter: ⁠https://jedlipinski.substack.com/⁠ Connect with Jed Lipinski:⁠https://www.instagram.com/gonesouthpodcast/⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/gonesouthpodcast/⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jed-lipinski/

My guest today is Gavin Baker, founding partner and CIO of Atreides Management. This is our seventh conversation, and just two months after Gavin's last appearance. It's about the gap between what the market is doing and what companies are seeing. It's been a tough month or so for public AI names, but there's no sign of a slowdown on the ground in Silicon Valley. We discuss the latest moves, contracted vs. spot GPU prices, the game theory of memory supply agreements, and why Claude has become the Walter Cronkite of the stock market. We close on SpaceX, orbital compute, and what Gavin sees as the single biggest risk to all of it. Please enjoy this conversation, from the famous table at Benchmark, with my friend Gavin Baker.
