When you think of premium feature timber for cladding, decking or façades, your mind likely goes to cedar -  that rich, beautiful wood loved by architects and homeowners. But there's a cost. Cedar and other prized timbers are often harvested from ancient, irreplaceable forests. Logging them disrupts ecosystems, accelerates climate risk, and destroys biodiversity -  all to meet demand for aesthetic and performance expectations from people who don't often know the true cost of their choices. Daniel Gudsell saw the problem. And rather than telling people to stop using beautiful timber, he set out to build a better option. His company, Abodo, is pioneering a new category of rapidly renewable, high-performance wood - grown in sustainable forests, thermally modified to stand up to the elements, and positioned to win hearts as well as specs. It's part science, part supply chain, and a lot of brand - building a better future for timber by changing not just the product, but how we perceive it. After more than 20 years in the space, Abodo is gaining global traction. But as Daniel shares in this episode, in many ways they're just getting started. Learn more about your ad choices.

A solo morning jog around the Cedar Hill Golf Course gave me a refreshing 3.5 km loop, taken clockwise this time. I kept a steady pace of 8:50 per kilometre, letting my legs turn over at an average cadence of 63. The total run time came to 30 minutes and 53 seconds — just enough to break a light sweat and settle into a rhythm. I made the trip to and from the course on my eBike, adding a smooth and quiet ride to bookend the session. It was a simple loop with a touch of adventure, perfect for starting the day right.

The Cedar Glades, which occur in the rocky and hardscrabble areas around Lebanon Tennessee, are among Tennessee's most special places.  They are home to many rare plants and plant communities adapted to these harsh  conditions and which occur nowhere else in the world. The Tennessee Coneflower (Echinacea tennesseensis) is a prominent example of the beauty … Continue reading "Interview With Dr Kim Sadler, MTSU, Center for Cedar Glade Studies (Episode 121)" The post Interview With Dr Kim Sadler, MTSU, Center for Cedar Glade Studies (Episode 121) appeared first on Mark Fraley Podcast.

Democracy scholars often assume that ethnic homogeneity is good for democracy. Politically mobilised ethnic minorities, the assumption goes, stoke divisions and can destabilise democracy. In his latest book Ethnic Minorities, Political Competition, and Democracy: Circumstantial Liberals (Oxford UP 2024), Jan Rovny turns this assumption on its head and argues that not only minorities are not bad for democracy but in fact they can help strengthen and protect it. In this episode, he talks with host Licia Cianetti about why this is the case, under what circumstances, and how the book's lessons from minorities in Central and Eastern Europe can travel well beyond the region and might even provide insights to interpret recent voting patterns in the US. Jan Rovny is Professor of Political Science at the Center for European Studies and Comparative Politics at Sciences Po, Paris. Licia Cianetti is Lecturer in Political Science and International Studies at the University of Birmingham and Deputy Founding Director of CEDAR. Her book on these themes is The Quality of Divided Democracies: Minority Inclusion, Exclusion and Representation in the New Europe (University of Michigan Press, 2019). The People, Power, Politics podcast brings you the latest insights into the factors that are shaping and re-shaping our political world.

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Justin Juntunen - founder of Cedar and Stone Sauna - to explore why the ancient practice of sauna bathing is finding new life in the heart of modern wellness. What starts as a conversation about custom craftsmanship and cardiovascular benefits quickly unfolds into something deeper: a dialogue on slowing down, creating meaning, and pursuing a business with soul.Justin shares his journey from building saunas with his grandfather in Minnesota to leading a company that crafts world-class sauna experiences, from private homes to luxury resorts. More than just heat and steam, his mission is about reconnecting people to their bodies, their breath, and each other. Together, they unpack the science, cultural traditions, and spiritual rituals behind the sauna movement, and why it's resonating with high performers and families alike.From dopamine to discipline, cold plunges to community, this is a powerful conversation on how health practices can become life practices—and why excellence is always handcrafted.Connect with Us:

Live from Andrew Rafacz Gallery, Chicago In this intimate, laughter-filled episode recorded live at Andrew Rafacz Gallery, Duncan and Ryan sit down with artists Jaqueline Cedar and Josh Dihle on the occasion of their concurrent solo exhibitions. The conversation traverses everything from Duchampian bathroom jokes to model train nostalgia, parenthood, masculinity, and why drawing still matters. We dig deep into Cedar's intimate, narrative-rich figure paintings and Dihle's large, toy-like sculptural paintings, both brimming with color, play, and strange tenderness. Along the way, we explore the value of humor, discomfort, labor, scale, and why both artists moonlight as gallerists—Cedar with the roving Good Naked Gallery and Dihle with events at Color Club and The Sugar Hole ice cream shop. It's a heartfelt meditation on art, joy, burnout, and why we keep making.

In this episode Licia Cianetti talks to Johannes Gerschewski about his book The Two Logics of Autocratic Rule (Cambridge UP, 2023). We discuss how autocrats try to either hyper-politicise or de-politicise their rule in order to stay in power, whether the word “fascist” is useful today, and what the two logics identified in the book might tell us about politics in contemporary autocratising democracies. As we recorded during Johannes's stay at Thomas Mann House in LA, soon after the US 2024 elections, a lot of this had unavoidably to do with Trump. *This episode was recorded soon after the US elections, before the LA fires and Trump's second inauguration* Johannes Gerschewski is research fellow at the WZB and academic coordinator of the Theory Network at the Cluster of Excellence SCRIPTS. In his research, he works both theoretically and empirically on questions of legitimacy, stability, and crisis proneness of democratic and autocratic regimes. Licia Cianetti is Lecturer in Political Science and International Studies at the University of Birmingham and Deputy Co-Director of CEDAR. Her most recent work on these themes is “What is a “regime”? Three definitions and their implications for the future of regime studies” (with Gianni Del Panta and Catherine Owen) published in Democratization in 2025.

In S5Ep4 of the PRP, Adam chops it up with decades long run for fun enthusiast, flashy but low key drip queen, down right knee-slapping pun machine and recent Boston Marathon finishing Bandit Quinn Mizikar who has been preparing for the Risk it for the Biscuit 5K on May 4th, 2025. Sarah Krawczyk & Michelle Kay, serial PRP offenders, Bandit Racing Team icons and same-page poets return to the show to offer their take on the joy of running, the strength of friendship, and the healing power of honoring someone you love.While Quinn takes the official guest seat, she shares the mic generously with Michelle and Sarah to help spotlight the upcoming third annual Risk it for the Biscuit 5K—a race founded in loving memory of Michelle's late husband and Sarah's longtime friend, Stephen Kay. Tap in to learn more about the Stephen Kay Foundation and hear how what started as a way to process grief has become a joyful & uplifting tradition—inviting runners from all over Michigan to celebrate Stephen's legacy by doing what he loved most: living fully, running freely, and showing up for others with heart & humor.The Bandit trio unpacks their collective Boston reflections, the power of staying calm at the starting line, and how letting go of pressure can unlock something truly special. From garden hauls and parenting wins to banana cravings, getting puked on, and the mystical powers of a going straight to Rick's, this one is equal parts therapy session, hype squad and communal tribute.Things get vulnerable when Michelle shares an update on her ongoing journey with grief and reflects on how organizing this event has helped her transform a part of Stephen's memory from something sorrowful into something celebratory—a space filled with honor, laughter, mugs, joy, and just the right amount of race-day chaos.What in the world is an OBERON LITE?! Nanner nubs?! Can you learn from anyone if you just let them teach you? Can you feel that Ferry magic?! Why is Sarah always channeling her inner Des?! Cedar point, Strava monsters & Boston cream pie oh my!!This and so much more in a warm, therapeutic and deeply human episode of the PRP.

The argument that authoritarian governments are better at dealing with the climate emergency is gaining ground, fuelled by the idea that undemocratic states face fewer constraints and so can operate more efficiently and effectively. Some are even arguing that this isn't just a necessary evil but a legitimate policy response to pending environmental catastrophe. Yet the data suggests that on average authoritarian governments do not perform better, and on many measures actually do worse than democracies. So why does this idea persist? Join Nic Cheeseman as he talks to Nomi Claire Lazar and Jeremy Wallace about their new article on Resisting the Authoritarian Temptation. Why is democracy not delivering? Why is authoritarianism not the answer? And what new models exist that can be used to deliver a greener and more inclusive future?

This is a special episode that features a conversation between Sonia Bussu and Hans Asenbaum on democracy, capitalism, climate and the practices and prospects of participatory, deliberative and more-than-human democracy to transform their relationship.
