Qu'est-ce que le chant grégorien ? Ce chant monodique en latin, lié à la liturgie et à la parole biblique de l'Église catholique romaine, s'est développé à l'époque médiévale autour du XIIIè et IXè siècles. Après un déclin progressif, il a été restauré au XIXè siècle, et aujourd'hui, il est porté par des chœurs qui le font vivre sur plusieurs continents. (Rediffusion) « C'est par la pratique des psaumes qu'on comprend ce chant », disait Louis-Marie Vigne, considéré comme l'un des grands maîtres contemporains du chant grégorien en France, fondateur du Chœur grégorien de Paris, il y a une cinquantaine d'années. « Ce qui m'intéresse dans le grégorien, c'est le rapport du temps à l'éternité… La modification de notre conscience du temps est une des fonctions générales de la musique, une de ses plus belles vocations. Mais le chant grégorien en fait l'expérience permanente, à travers le mélisme, c'est-à-dire une méditation sonore sur une note ». Nous partons à la rencontre de ce chœur grégorien de Paris, dont les choristes viennent de tous les continents et se produisent également en tournée à différents endroits du monde, et dont le chef de chœur d'hommes est malgache, et la cheffe de chœur de femmes est sud-coréenne.   Invités : - Pierre Loiret, auteur notamment de plusieurs livres accompagnés de CDs sur le chant grégorien (« Origine, au commencement était le verbe » (Éd. Ad Caelum 2024), « Rayonnement, comme le cèdre du Liban » (Éd Caelum 2025), « Modalité, le Seigneur est ma lumière » (Éd. Ad Caelum, 2025) - Xavier Accart, rédacteur en chef du magazine Prier, auteur de « L'âme du grégorien, entretiens avec Louis-Marie Vigne » (Éd. du Cerf, 2025).

High-yield savings rates have dipped slightly since early spring, but they remain strong enough that choosing the right account right now can still be a wise move. After several quarter-point interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, savings yields have eased—but not disappeared. In fact, many online banks continue to offer returns well above those of most brick-and-mortar institutions.Understanding what's happening—and how to respond—can help you steward your cash with wisdom and confidence.Why Savings Still Matter in Your Financial PlanSavings and investments play very different roles. A savings account is designed for money that must remain safe, accessible, and dependable—your emergency fund, short-term needs, and dollars you'll rely on in the next few years.Savings won't deliver investment-level growth, but the interest they earn still matters. Every bit of growth helps preserve purchasing power and strengthens your financial footing over time.Over the past few years, inflation rose well above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. In response, the Fed raised short-term interest rates aggressively. As rates climbed, savings yields—especially at online banks—rose alongside them.Earlier this year, many high-yield savings accounts were paying between 4.75% and 5%, sometimes more. That gave savers an unusual opportunity to earn meaningful interest on cash that would otherwise sit idle.Since then, inflation has cooled, and the Fed has begun cutting rates. Those reductions have nudged savings yields lower, but today's rates are still historically strong—and far more generous than what traditional banks typically offer.Why Timing Still Works in Your FavorBanks rarely adjust savings rates immediately after a Fed announcement. Often, there's a window—sometimes several weeks—when higher yields remain available before they gradually drift downward.That lag creates an opportunity. While savings accounts aren't “locked in” like CDs, moving your money into a competitive high-yield account now allows you to benefit as rates slowly settle. Banks tend to move cautiously, often watching one another before making changes, which gives savers time to act.For many families, knowing their savings are earning a solid return brings peace of mind—whether preparing for an unexpected expense or setting aside resources for opportunities God may bring.Where High-Yield Savings Fit BestA strong savings strategy usually includes three key priorities:1. Your emergency fund. Keep three to six months of expenses in a high-yield savings account. The stronger the yield, the faster that cushion grows—without taking on risk or debt.2. Short- and mid-term goals. Money you'll need in the next two to five years—such as a down payment, major repair, or planned purchase—should stay protected from market volatility. High-yield savings accounts offer both safety and reasonable earnings.3. Regular comparison. Some traditional banks still pay as little as 0.01%—essentially nothing—while online banks often offer rates dozens of times higher. Comparing what you're earning with what's available elsewhere can make a meaningful difference.Exploring Your Options WiselyComparison sites like Bankrate and NerdWallet can help you evaluate current rates while also considering reliability, customer experience, and safety ratings.Money market accounts are another solid option, often offering competitive yields with added flexibility, such as check-writing privileges. Just be mindful of minimum balance requirements.Don't overlook credit unions either. As not-for-profit institutions, they often return earnings to members through stronger rates and lower fees. One example is AdelFi Christian Banking, a credit union that combines competitive yields with support for Gospel-centered ministry worldwide.You can learn more at FaithFi.com/Banking.Stewardship Is About Faithful ConsistencyChoosing where to place your savings isn't simply about chasing the highest return. It's about managing God's resources with intention and care. Saving consistently—month after month, year after year—is quiet, faithful work.A wise savings vehicle supports that journey, helping your money work a little harder while you walk forward with clarity, confidence, and trust in the Lord's provision.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 70 and retired, with a steady monthly income. I need a car costing about $20,000, and I still owe $27,000 on my mortgage. I'd prefer not to carry two payments—should I pay off the mortgage or buy the car, and where should the money come from?I want long-term protection through investing in gold. What's the best way to do that today?I'm retired and have about $1 million invested with Edward Jones. They're moving me to a 1.2% annual fee on my entire portfolio instead of transaction-based fees. I agreed, but I now wonder whether the fee is warranted.

It's a gift to our families and our neighbors. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history, yet too many politicians would rather toast billionaires by the fire than help working families keep their homes warm and their bills low. Real change begins when we stop letting the ultra - rich write our energy policy and run our government. Choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, greater freedom, and a world that can still sing for future generations. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

Remember when we used to burn CDs?A lot of music made it around the world without being properly published in those early days of file sharing. So the “Lostwave community” steps in to hunt down the origins of unidentified music. In this case, music that was made in Boston and heard in Seattle required the help of a data geek in the Middle East to figure out that the originator lives right here among us in Nashville.  This is a production of Nashville Public Radio. Host/producer: Blake Farmer Editor: Tony Gonzalez 

Corey Ledet Zydeco returns to the show to talk about his new live album Live In Alaska ! Have accordion, will travel. That's been Corey Ledet's motto for most of his three decades as a zydeco musician. During a tour of Russia, Ledet enjoyed VIP treatment with his own security detail. Fans were eager to touch his band's zydeco rubboard, a metal vest that's worn over the shoulders to scratch out a rhythm. Fascinated admirers dubbed it the “magic instrument.” With trips to Hawaii, Canada and throughout Europe also on his resume, Ledet yearned to preserve the energy of those road shows. But the time and place for a live recording never lined up. “When the Anchorage Folk Festival came up, I said this might be a good opportunity,” said Ledet, 44, a two-time Grammy nominee. “So I talked to the people over there about it. “When I got there, they had all the equipment to record. I got to thinking about Clifton Chenier, a lot of his live recordings were done away from home. It worked for the King of Zydeco. I said, ‘Let me try this'.” The result is Live in Alaska, the first live album for Corey Ledet Zydeco and his mysterious, new accordion, “Black Magic.” After sifting through three days of recording, the band settled on 11 tracks that demonstrate Ledet's title, “The Accordion Dragon.” The album features live renditions of English and Creole hits from Ledet's previous 15 CDs. “Alaska Funk,” a new track, is an impromptu, onstage jam with Ledet and his skilled, Louisiana entourage. “We created that song live on the spot,” said Ledet. “Like I told the audience ‘It's amazing when you have great musicians, you can almost create a song off the top of your head'.” Improvisation is in his Ledet's blood. Corey Ledet was born and raised in Houston, Texas, and spent his Summers with relatives in small-town Parks, where he was exposed to their Kouri-Veni language and Creole traditions. This molded and shaped Corey's world in a profound way. This culture has its roots in Louisiana, but eventually spread across the country, including into neighboring Texas. When he returned home after Summer, Corey was able to remain immersed in the Creole culture he learned to love. He learned everything he could about Creole culture – the traditions, the food, and most importantly, the music -- so that he could incorporate it into all aspects of his life. His love for Creole/Zydeco music was instant and hard to ignore. Ledet studied the originators of the music like Clifton Chenier, John Delafose, and Boozoo Chavis. His studies branched out to include any (and all) Zydeco artists.  At the age of 10, Corey started picking up shows as drummer for Houston's Wilbert Thibodeaux and the Zydeco Rascals and slowly learned his way around the main instrument of the style – accordion. He came to truly love every type of accordion: the single-note, triple-note and piano key … as well as still more exotic species! He worked at building his skills and coming to know knew each one intimately. By the time he graduated from high school, Ledet was certain that music would be the focus of his future. Eventually, he moved to Louisiana to be fully immersed in his beloved Creole culture. To this day, Corey Ledet remains true to his family and cultural roots and looks for ways to incorporate them in his musical work and style of living. He's created his own unique style out of the diverse influences of the many musicians he's studied, blending old and new styles of Zydeco, and more! https://www.facebook.com/corey.ledet.39 www.coreyledet.com https://www.instagram.com/coreyledetzydeco/  

When I describe BIGhART to folks in the U.S. theyaccuse me of making it up.What if telling a story could rewrite history, heal generational trauma, and reclaim a community's stolen legacy?In a world where the voices of marginalized communities are often silenced or distorted, this episode explores how the arts—through projects like BIGhART and the Ngapartji Ngapartji and Namatjira initiatives—can become powerful instruments of cultural justice, truth-telling, and transformation. If you've ever wondered how creativity can confront systems of power and elevate unheard voices, this story offers living proof.In this episode we:Discover how a small arts organization in Australia sparked a global movement for Indigenous rights, language preservation, and youth empowerment.Learn how performance, storytelling, and community-led creativity dismantled colonial narratives and reclaimed stolen intellectual property.Be inspired by Scott Rankin's vision of sacred, process-centered artistry that goes beyond performance to become a force for healing, justice, and deep social change.BIOScott co-founded Big hART with friend John Bakes in 1992. As CEO and Creative Director, Scott leads the overarching vision for all Big hART projects – from pilot through to legacy. A leader and teacher in the field of social and cultural innovation, Scott provides daily mentorship and knowledge transfer to all Big hART staff so that they can in turn lead our projects with confidence.An award winning writer and director in his own right, Scott's works have been included many times in major arts festivals. His reputation is built on a quarter of a century of work, creating, funding and directing large-scale projects in diverse communities with high needs, in isolated settings.Big hART is Scott's passionate contribution to the arts and society.Notable MentionsBIGhART: Authentic, high-quality art made with communities.Big hART brings virtuosic artists into communities to collaborate and create authentic stories which illuminate local injustice.

In order to create visibility around these issues, we launched a language and culture teaching portal, offered audiences the chance to learn Pitjantjatjara through a small teaching show, created short teaching films, as well as music and CDs with a Pitjantjatjara choir. We made a high profile...

251224PC Driving Home for ChristmasMensch Mahler am 24.12.2025Driving Home for Christmas darf in keiner Weihnachtshitparade fehlen. Chris Rea hat unvergleichlich schön die Sehnsucht ausgedrückt, Weihnachten zu Hause zu sein. Zu Weihnachten fahre ich nach Hause. Ich kann es ich kann es nicht erwarten, in eure Gesichter zu sehenIch fahre heim zu Weihnachten, diese altbekannte RouteUnd es ist schon so lange her. Aber ich werde dort sein!Ich singe diesen Song wieder und wieder, um mir die Zeit zu vertreibenWährend ich mit meinem Auto fahre, zu Weihnachten nach Hause fahre.Sein 74igstes Weihnachtsfest hat Chris Rea knapp verpasst. Vor zwei Tagen starb der britische Sänger mit italienischen Wurzeln. Er hat uns unvergleichlich schöne Balladen geschenkt, seine leicht angeraute Stimme war sein Markenzeichen. 1986 – also vor 39 Jahren nahm Chris Rea diesen Weihnachtshit auf. Seit dieser Zeit läuft er jeden Advent auf allen Popwellen der Welt. Natürlich auch auf Radio Paradiso. Geboren wurde Rea 1951 In Middlesbrough. Er stammt aus einer italienisch-irischen Arbeiterfamilie. Erst mit knapp 20 Jahren fing er an, Gitarre zu spielen. 1978 gelang ihm in den USA der Durchbruch mit dem Hit Fool if you think it's over. In Großbritannien gelang ihm erst 1980 mit Road to Hell ein Smashhit mit „Road to Hell“. 30 Millionen Alben verkaufte Chris Rea. Im Frühjahr 2000 wurde Bauchspeichelkrebs diagnostiziert. Der introvertierte Sänger zog sich zurück und nahm 2005 das Album Blue Guitars auf, das aus 11 CDs bestand. Dazu veröffentlichte Rea ein Buch mit eigenen Gemälden. Road Songs for Lovers – so hieß nicht nur sein letztes Album, das 2016 erschien. Road Songs waren sein Ding.

There's been a surge in demand for cassettes, CDs and portable audio devices. Matthew Davis, owner of Flying Out Record Store, is with Bryan to discuss the trend.

Two mics, one space heater, and a dream: we kick off the first week of Big Jay's Replays and tell the truth about building a local game shop from the ground up. From weather-thinned foot traffic to a rush of trade-ins—PS2 hauls, stacks of DVDs and CDs, and a shocker of vintage TMNT figures worth serious cash—we walk through the moves that matter: fair valuations, flexible appointments, and setting up play areas that make people linger. It's messy, real, and way more fun than the glossy version.Behind the counter, the numbers get interesting. We break down credit card processing fees by brand, swipe charges, percent-of-transaction rates, hardware costs, monthly support, and PCI compliance. No sugarcoating—just the actual overhead small retailers face and why some pass fees to customers. Jay doesn't. He's betting on loyalty, momentum, and the simple magic of a welcoming store. That spirit spills into neighbor relations too: clearing up a back-entrance issue, swapping a gift card for a cross-promo giveaway, and building a mini-ecosystem with the card shop next door so collectors hit both spots in one trip.Then we throw sparks with music discovery. Wolves at the Gate delivers melody and muscle, Stained With Silver brings moody cinematic textures, and Resistor's “Mutt” drops a turntablist into metal, filling a groove we didn't know we missed. We spiral into the wild world of “The John Candy,” AI-tinted visuals, and sample-packed chaos, before pivoting to EDM anthems, Eurodance nostalgia, and Little Big's “LollyBomb,” whose towering build-ups punch like a perfect breakdown. If you love retro games, underground bands, and the thrill of finding gold where the algorithm sleeps, you'll feel right at home.Stick around for holiday wishes and a promise to keep uncovering the good stuff—on shelves and in playlists. If this ride hits your frequency, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop your favorite discovery from the episode in a review so others can find us too.Send us a text message and let us know how awesome we are!

In this episode of the Smart Wealth & Retirement Podcast, financial advisors and retirement planners Jim Martin & Casey Bibb of Martin Wealth Solutions break down one of the most confusing — yet essential — components of retirement planning: bonds. Jim and Casey explain what bonds are, how they generate income, and why they behave differently from stocks. They dig into interest rates, bond ladders, risk vs. reward, and why bonds can either stabilize a retirement portfolio or hold it back depending on how they're used. Whether you're already retired or planning ahead, this episode clarifies the role bonds should play in your long-term income plan — especially in today's evolving interest-rate environment. http://retirewithmartin.com/ ← Learn about working with us www.planwellretirehappy.com Episode Breakdown 00:00 – Introduction: Why bonds matter in retirement 01:36 – What exactly is a bond? 02:58 – How bonds generate income 04:26 – Why bonds behave differently from stocks 05:58 – Interest rates and how they affect bond values 07:46 – The role bonds play in stabilizing a retirement portfolio 09:30 – When bonds can actually hurt your retirement plan 11:12 – Understanding bond duration and risk 12:58 – The pros and cons of bond ladders 14:40 – How to know if you have the right amount of bonds 16:12 – Bonds vs. CDs vs. annuities — what's the difference? 17:48 – Practical tips for building a bond strategy Disclaimer Opinions expressed herein are solely those of Martin Wealth Solutions, unless otherwise specifically cited.

Episode 186 — Christmas at Scott's: A Mystery CD Listening PartyHappy holidays from The Conner & Smith Show!

In today's episode, I wanted to try something that, frankly, may not work.  I wanted to try using a basic figure as the "skeleton" and casting details onto the body instead of sculpting them out of epoxy clay or some other substance.  This would allow you do get a figure off the shelf and essentially "plug" it into the molds for the limbs are such and emerge with a "newly clothed" figure.  I don't know if it will work since I'm not sure how well the resin will adhere to the skeleton.   That said, I figured it's worth a try and am making the prototype today from an Iron Man figure and helmet, chest, and pack of the figure I was working on last time.  Next time, I'll see how I can make new molds or adapt the ones I already have. Picture of the prototype so far: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2025/12/22/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-541-and-like-a-hood-ornament-86-trying-a-new-technique-by-creating-a-new-rocketeer-figure-part-1/∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   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 and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-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?

Patricia Bisch, M.A., lived the painful life of an overeater from her teen years to well into early adulthood. Then, over 30 years ago, she discovered the secret to regaining her power over food–not through deprivation, but as a way to enjoy eating and to lose weight anyway. She proceeded to practice and perfect the principles she writes about, and today, she remains completely healed. In addition to reaching master-level proficiency in two energetic healing methods and maintaining a private practice in psychotherapy, specializing in EMDR therapy, Patricia lectures, conducts media appearances, and leads classes and workshops on weight loss. Patricia lives, writes and creates her audio CDs in southern California where she is a healthy, vibrant, living advertisement for the benefits of gaining Freedom From Food. Freedom From Food - The Book A Quantum Weight Loss Approach by Patricia Bisch, MA, MFT How long have you been wrestling with your weight? How many diets have you tried? How many times have you condemned yourself for being a failure because you think you're overweight? Are you ready to stop struggling, enjoy eating, and still lose weight? Freedom from Food presents a revolutionary program designed by Patricia Bisch, who discovered the secret to regaining her power over food without deprivation. Built on the solid foundation of quantum physics, which substantiates how the mind affects the body, it provides practical applications of principles that guide you to making your consciousness strong enough to transform your body. From Patricia's own inspiring story to the techniques for changing your awareness of yourself and food, the book takes you on a journey-an adventure in discovering who you are and how to gain power, step by step, over what has been running you.

Graham Cunnington & Paul Jamrozy in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://testdept.bandcamp.com/album/industrial-overture Formed in London in the early 1980s, Test Dept are regarded as one of the pioneering forces of ‘industrial music', recognised for their groundbreaking sound and powerful performances that pushed the boundaries of music, art and protest while exploring political and social issues. Centred around the founding duo of Paul Jamrozy and Gray Cunnington since resurfacing in the mid-2010s, the group recently signed to the Artoffact label and have just issued the first in a series of carefully curated box sets that will chronicle their career. ‘Industrial Overture. Studio & Live Recordings 1982-1985' consists of 42 tracks across 4 CDs and also available digitally. It includes a first ever reissue of the group's 1983 cassette-only debut album ‘Strength Of Metal In Motion', the classic ‘Ecstasy Under Duress' and ‘Atonal & Hamburg' albums (both unavailable for over three decades), plus a disc of hitherto unreleased studio recordings that incorporate two sessions recorded for the John Peel show on BBC Radio 1.

Everyone with a physical music collection - you know, stuff you can hold in your hands like albums and compact discs - has had to decide how to store it all. Organized fans often arrange their collections alphabetically and/or chronologically and/or by popularity. Less organized fans find it harder to keep up with what they have and find what they want when they want it. For veteran music journalists like Wayne Bledsoe and Chuck Campbell, who have each amassed thousands of albums and CDs over the decades, organizing their collections has been a complicated and imperfect undertaking. This week, your “How We Heard It” hosts Wayne, Chuck and producer John Baker root through sections of their collections and discover favorite recordings they forget they had as well as albums/CDs they didn't realize they had and some they didn't even know existed. And along the way, they discover they may not be the same guys they once were. When was the last time you took a good look at your music? Have you also changed over time?

In this holiday Friday Q&A, Don opens with a festive announcement about Season's Readings—now Apple-featured and temporarily commercial-free—before diving into listener questions on fixed annuities versus CDs, a creative (and complex) 529-to-Roth strategy tied to Georgia tax deductions, simplifying IRA management and RMDs at Schwab or Vanguard, the unavoidable tax traps of old investment clubs structured as partnerships, and the perennial question of how much U.S. large-cap exposure belongs in a diversified equity portfolio. Along the way, Don reinforces core themes: simplicity beats complexity, costs matter, taxes are inevitable, and diversification has no single “correct” allocation—only trade-offs aligned with philosophy and discipline. 0:04 Holiday welcome, Friday Q&A format, and how to submit questions 0:46 Season's Readings podcast announcement, Apple feature, and commercial-free holiday run 2:16 Fixed annuities vs CDs: safety, state guarantees, and annuity ladders 5:29 Using 529 plans as a long-term Roth pipeline with state tax deductions (Georgia example) 9:29 Moving an IRA to Schwab or Vanguard and automating RMDs 10:20 Investment clubs as partnerships: K-1s, capital gains, and tax inevitability 14:47 How much U.S. large-cap belongs in a diversified stock portfolio 18:54 Reviews, critics, Bitcoin pushback, and holiday sign-off Learn more about your ad choices.

Host Graham Coath is joined by Alex and Jane from Imperial Age, broadcasting straight from London, where boxes, merch, CDs surround them, and the very real pressure of getting thousands of orders out the door in time...What follows is a wide-ranging, brutally honest, and often hilarious conversation about life in music, building something epic from the ground up, and what it really takes to survive — and thrive — as a modern independent band.Alex and Jane talk about the long road to becoming Imperial Age, the origin (and non-origin) of the band's name, growing up together, getting into trouble at school, and why independence wasn't a romantic choice — it was a necessity after years of rejection from labels, managers, and industry gatekeepers.This episode dives deep into:Running a band like a business (whether you like it or not)The myth of the “glamorous independent artist”Fans vs clients — and why real fans matterCrowdfunding, merch, burnout, and buying your time backSongwriting, creative instincts, and knowing when a song is finishedWhy honesty, resonance, and value matter more than hypeAlong the way, there are stories about Travelodge disasters, Age of Empires, Palpatine impressions, shower-written hit songs, Reddit trolls, music “gurus”, and why success isn't about pretending — it's about showing up and doing the work.As always on MyMusic, this isn't just about the music. It's about the people behind it, the thinking that drives it, and the reality of creating something meaningful in a noisy world.Imperial Age don't just make epic, cinematic metal — they live it.

In our final episode of Nurturing Financial Freedom for 2025, we take a deep dive into the rapidly evolving world of education and what that means for families planning ahead. College isn't what it used to be, and as we head into 2026, we unpack how demographic shifts, cost pressures, and emerging technologies like AI are reshaping higher education—and what families can do to stay ahead of the curve.Alex explains how college enrollment has been declining steadily since its peak in 2010. While part of that is due to lower birth rates post-2007, we focus on the bigger shift—young people increasingly turning toward trade careers, certifications, and alternative learning paths. Fields like HVAC, welding, and nursing are growing in demand, and students are seeking out stable, well-paying jobs that don't require a four-year degree.For those who do choose college, we're seeing a clear shift in preferred majors. STEM fields like engineering, computer science, and data science are growing, along with healthcare and business, while traditional liberal arts majors are shrinking. Rising costs are a huge part of the conversation, with many families questioning whether a $320,000 undergraduate degree truly delivers a return on investment. This economic pressure has pushed many toward more flexible paths like community college, online programs, or hybrid models that offer practical value without the high price tag.We also examine how universities themselves are evolving—sometimes in the wrong direction. From luxury dorms to reduced tenure-track faculty, schools are spending more to attract students but aren't always investing in what really matters: quality education. Alex shares a personal story from his alma mater, Washington University that perfectly illustrates this disconnect.Next, we turn to the financial side. Ed walks us through how 529 plans remain one of the best tools families can use, even in this uncertain educational landscape. These plans are far more flexible than many realize—they now cover trade schools, certifications, online degrees, and even some K–12 costs. Plus, any leftover funds can be rolled into a Roth IRA, offering tax-free growth and long-term retirement benefits for beneficiaries. The ability to change the plan's beneficiary and the favorable tax treatment make 529s an incredibly versatile, powerful savings option.Even if the future of education is less predictable, we agree the cost will still be significant. That's why saving early and often—while staying flexible—is more important than ever.

Today Eric focuses on the concept of challenging traditional methods—or the mindset of "that's the way I've always done it"—within business, specifically contracting and the aquatic hobby. Triplet emphasizes the importance of innovation and efficiency, using examples like adopting new software (CompanyCam) to dramatically shorten the time spent on client reports, moving from burning CDs to using digital playlists, and ditching physical blueprints for digital plans. The conversation also explores the psychological traps that keep contractors stuck in outdated, less-profitable routines, highlighting that clinging to old methods can prevent necessary growth and adaptation to modern technology. Ultimately, Eric and his guests advocate for staying open-minded and ready to pivot rather than being rigidly attached to established, even if suboptimal, practices. Key Takeaways: Always keep your mind open to suggestions and new ideas for improvement. Continuously look for innovation to create efficiencies and collapse time in your processes. Stay nimble and be ready to pivot and adjust your approach when situations change. Do not blindly accept long-standing practices; verify facts and question the way things have always been done. Maintain knowledge of old methods and foundational skills in case new technology fails or is unavailable.

Don and Tom take a sharp look at Vanguard's surprising new direction, especially the decision to fold annuities into 401(k) target-date funds through lightly regulated collective trusts. They contrast Vanguard's historical simplicity with today's trend toward complexity, comparing costs, structure, and risk across major providers. Listeners call in with questions about Roth conversions, Schwab target-date funds, entering the market after a forced delay, and whether TIPS or buffered ETFs are worth owning. Throughout, Don and Tom hammer home the fundamentals: low costs matter, complexity harms investors, active management rarely pays, and your stock/bond mix—not gimmicks—drives long-term success. 0:04 Opening and setup: Vanguard's recent drift toward complex products 1:03 Vanguard's dominance in target-date funds and why simplicity used to be the point 1:58 Vanguard adding annuities into 401(k) target-date funds — is this helping anyone? 3:11 What does an annuity inside a target-date fund even mean? 4:03 The 25% annuity allocation example and the misleading “8% payout” illusion 5:03 TIAA's role and why annuity costs remain unclear 6:28 Are annuities inside retirement plans a solution in search of a problem? 7:38 The fine print: Vanguard's new collective trusts and weak disclosure requirements 8:20 Why collective investment trusts are lightly regulated and potentially concerning 9:07 Caller: Roth conversions when you're withdrawing to live on — should you stop? 11:32 When Roth conversions lose their benefit and why you need cash for taxes 12:21 Caller: Are Schwab target-date funds worth it in a Roth? (Short answer: No.) 13:31 Why Schwab's higher fees and low international allocation are a problem 14:52 Active management inside target-date funds — unnecessary and risky 16:12 Risk vs. return: Schwab's higher volatility and lower historical performance 16:41 Caller: Missed market gains while transferring funds — how to get back in 18:49 When market discomfort signals a stock/bond misalignment 20:16 Comparing Schwab vs. Vanguard target-date funds over 15 years 21:37 Why lower cost + lower volatility + better return makes Vanguard the clear win 22:02 Should you fear future gimmicks like private credit inside target-date funds? 23:29 Caller PSA: Realizing capital gains in a low-income year 24:06 ETF explosion — 908 new ETFs this year, most using leverage or derivatives 25:29 Why “ETF” doesn't mean good; junk ETFs equal junk mutual funds 26:05 Structural benefits of ETFs and why the market prefers them 27:29 Soccer vs. NFL detour, then back to phone calls 29:07 Listener question from Colorado: Should you buy a TIPS fund? 31:01 Why TIPS rarely add value in diversified portfolios 33:22 TIPS behave more like inflation bets than true inflation protection 34:34 Why simple, short/intermediate, high-quality bonds—and CDs—often do the job 36:17 Caller: What is a buffered ETF, and why does it sound like an annuity? 37:29 Buffered ETFs explained: expensive, complicated, and unnecessary 38:30 Why gimmicks dominate product launches and how they hurt investors Learn more about your ad choices.

The dolls are joined by the prodigious patisserie of elegance and razor-sharp wit, the incomparable Kim Chi! Miss Chi who would like you know that public libraries stand as luminous beacons of civic generosity, offering complimentary tootsie rolls that taste like tiny victories of the working class as these huddled masses check out CDs to be burned into their iPod Classics, empowering each and every one of them to cultivate a personal soundtrack without groveling to the dark forces of capitalism. Some of these noble institutions even distribute book-reading gift certificates for free bagels, nourishing both mind and body in one glorious carbohydrate embrace. And thanks to their tireless preservation of microfiche, detectives of every stripe can finally uncover exactly what happened at the Des Moines Harvest Jamboree in 1987, a truth now restored to a grateful society.
