A local newspaper article led me to her. She had surprised herself by winning an award for "Dispatcher of the Year." After talking to the 9-1-1 call center operator, there was no doubt she was deserving of this award.  Listen as this Monticello Sage lights up the MIC with her tales from behind the drawn windows of the local 9-1-1 call center, the importance of food on the job, night shift adjustments, car napping, busy signals, changes to the influx of calls with weather and seasons, the trope of annoyed dispatchers, dating within the industry, multitasking computer screens, triaging emergencies, swatting and why not to hang up on 9-1-1. If I were to call in an emergency, I would want this human sparkler on the other end.I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor Illini Pella Windows & Doors of Champaign.

Open and honest, warm and approachable. Father O'Brien gives priests a great name. He has made such a positive imprint on our community, and we are sad to see him move on to his next assignment, as is the dedicated life of a priest. Listen as this Bloomington native turned nomadic priest talks rectory life, choosing to attend seminary and the low rate of graduates, what his parents thought of his life choice, keeping a line between being the "cool" priest and reverence, the new pope and the excitement that brings to the country and the faith, relying on a greater power to inform all decisions and finding peace in that. What an honor to interview someone so open to any and all questions regarding a calling that is often stigmatized. Father O'Brien was a pleasure, thoughtful and a great example of practicing what you preach.I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor Illini Pella Windows & Doors of Champaign.

His roots are in Uganda and you hear those roots in much of his music, however the soulful and heartfelt delivery of his songs will have most listeners captivated. To call Ben a singer-songwriter is almost too little. He's an expressive artist who draws on both the commonalities and differences in culture to create songs that listeners will probably agree they can identify with. Love, loss, and healing are common themes in Ben's lyrics and the spaces between the three are where a lot of his songs come from.

While there's not a ton happening with Ohio State football right now, there's a lot to look forward to over the next eight months.Right now, the most anticipated event of the summer for Buckeye fans might be Michigan's Committee on Infractions hearing that's set to take place in one month as the Wolverines could finally face punishment from the NCAA this summer for their impermissible scouting scheme orchestrated by former staffer Connor Stalions.The height of recruiting season will also come soon as Ohio State prepares to host official visitors and camps in June, while we're personally excited to make our way to Las Vegas in July for Big Ten Media Days, the unofficial kickoff to football season.Ohio State's season opener could be its most highly anticipated season opener ever as the Buckeyes host Texas in a Cotton Bowl rematch that could be a 1 vs. 2 game. Ohio State's Nov. 1 home game against Penn State will be one of its most-anticipated games against the Nittany Lions ever as the Buckeyes look to spoil Jim Knowles' return to Columbus. And of course, everyone in Columbus has Ohio State's Nov. 29 trip to Ann Arbor circled on the calendar with hopes that Ryan Day's Buckeyes will finally end their drought against Michigan.Add in road trips to Washington, Illinois and Wisconsin and Nico Iamaleava's return to Columbus with UCLA, and the Buckeyes' regular-season schedule is loaded with games we can't wait for. As fun as the first year of the 12-team College Football Playoff was, we're also excited for year two of the expanded playoff race.Of course, we'll be excited to watch Jeremiah Smith and Caleb Downs play every game as the Buckeyes' superstars have the potential to be even better than they were last year. And there's no shortage of players with the talent to emerge as stars around them, such as Max Klare, James Peoples and Jermaine Mathews Jr., just to name a few.With Ohio State in the quietest part of its offseason and us preparing to take an early summer break on Real Pod Wednesdays, we highlight all the biggest things for Buckeye fans to look forward to this season.The full rundown:0:00 Why There Won't Be Real Pod Wednesdays for the Next Few Weeks4:52 Anticipation Builds for Potential Michigan Punishment12:53 Big Summer Ahead for Ohio State Recruiting18:45 Big Ten Media Days in Vegas Will Be Fun21:46 Season Openers Don't Get Any Bigger Than Ohio State vs. Texas26:28 Jim Knowles' Return Makes Ohio State vs. Penn State Extra Spicy32:00 Beating Michigan Still the Big Hurdle Ryan Day Must Clear38:07 Illibuck Game in Champaign, Trip to Camp Randall Among Other Exciting Matchups43:35 Why Jeremiah Smith and Caleb Downs Should Be Even Better in 202548:11 Buckeyes Will Have Potential Breakout Stars All Over the Field

Text us about this show.Greg Koch is undeniably one of the best guitarists on the planet today. He's well versed in a plethora of styles that he doesn't just play technically well, but with feeling and touch that leaves the listener in awe. His knowledge of guitars and who knows how many influential guitarists from a breadth of genres is deep. Very deep. His videos on YouTube, especially the ones he does for Wildwood Guitars, aren't just jaw droppingly good for his playing (with some gristle, of course), but they come with a good dose of humor that pulls you in even further. Most of all, Greg is genuine. The guy you'll hear in this episode is the same here, on social media, and when you see him live.

Stephanie Trenchard: Casting Womens' Narratives in Glass

Stephanie Trenchard's multi-disciplinary creative process includes painting and poetry along with cast glass. With a focus on biographical stories of how women artists have navigated careers and partnerships, motherhood and making a living while still focusing on their creative practice, the work also discusses the price the art has to pay in this grand juggling act. The artist prioritizes the actual experience of the work, making and seeing it, over the classification of genre or ownership of an idea.  Says Trenchard: “I create my own visual vocabulary in storytelling. Using these totems, I tell stories about the artistic experience and the ensuing personal relationships usually based on true stories of artists from history. The subject of these narratives is often revealed in the title of the piece, but it is not necessary that the viewer be familiar with the subject in order to understand the concept because the metaphors are universal to the human condition.” Her work also involves using art as a way to communicate local activism as seen in her project About Sturgeon Bay. Born in Champaign, Illinois, in 1962, Trenchard earned her BFA in painting from Illinois State University in 1984. Subsequently, she and glass artist husband Jeremy Popelka relocated to San Francisco, California, where Trenchard designed textile patterns, licensed and sold under a private label. Upon returning to Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin in 1997, the couple built a hot shop and gallery that they share to this day. They assist each other with work as well as teaching projects, such as their recent classes in Thailand. As she assisted Popelka, Trenchard began to see glass casting as a means of translating textile patterns and other imagery to glass. The discovery of Paradise Paints allowed her to combine painting skills with glass art in the development of her award-winning body of work. Trenchard has developed a unique method of creating art using glass combined with paint. She first creates fully realized figures or objects in clear glass, which are then painted with high-fire enamels that are mixed and blended just as with oil or acrylic paints. Next, these three-dimensional objects or figures are submerged into molten glass encased in cubes and rectangles of clear sand cast glass. Each cube or rectangle is created so that they can be fitted tightly next to one another or on top, making a totem like structure. Coldworking is required to achieve the perfect fit. She states: “I have been following my own interests and curiosities concerning how these women have navigated their careers and artistic practices. I represent these ideas in glass through the details that speak to me, particularly the ephemera of material culture, furniture and clothing that encapsulate their era and class. I also rely on posture and facial expression to reveal the nature of the subject as I intuit it.” In addition to teaching in her studio, Trenchard has taught workshops at Pratt Fine Art Center, University of Wisconsin, The Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass, The Bergstrom Mahler Museum of Glass and others. She was a lecturer at the Glass Art Society Conference, Murano, Italy, and established the first hot glass school in Southeast Asia, at Bangkok Glass, Thailand. Recent exhibitions include: Beyond Giving, Inspiring Change, Singapore Art Week, Singapore; Matriarchs of Mastery, Habatat Gallery, Detroit, Michigan; A Creative Place, Trout Museum, Wisconsin; and Beyond the Ceiling – Women of Studio Glass, Sarasota, Florida, Habatat Invitational, Michigan. Awards include Trenchard's 2025 Featured Poet award, presented by After Hours Journal, Chicago; 2023, 2024 Prize Winner at Habatat International Exhibition; and the 2020 AACG Wisconsin Artist Series at Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass. Says Trenchard: “Telling stories is what cultures do to understand the history and identities of the people. The small details in my work open up a conversation about the personal experiences of women in the arts as interpreted through history.”

It's a common refrain: AI is neither good nor bad because that depends on how its used. Professor Anita Say Chan begs to differ. Chan is the author of Predatory Data: Eugenics in Big Tech and Our Fight for an Independent Future (U California Press, 2025). Chan is Associate Professor in the School of Information Sciences and Department of Media and Cinema Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, as well as the author of a prior book Networking Peripheries on tech movements among craftwork communities in Peru. In her current book, Chan documents how the Big Data on which AI are trained are based on long-standing data infrastructures—sets of practices, policies, and logics—that remove, imperil, devalue, and actively harm people who refuse to conform to racialized patriarchal power structures and the priorities of surveillance capitalism—most pointedly immigrant, feminist, and low-income communities. Centered mostly in the United States as well as Latin America, Predatory Data shows how the eugenicist data practices of the past now shape our present. But her approach is fundamentally a politics of pluralism. Chan dedicates half of the book to amplifying and praising the small-scale, community-led projects of the past and present—from the legendary Hull House's data visualizations to community data initiatives in Champaign, Illinois. There is much fuel for political outrage in this book and also fodder for solidarity and hope.

Marc has garnered multiple WAMI Awards over the years as a producer, musician, and studio owner and all are well deserved. He has rightfully earned the praise of countless musicians who have had the good fortune to record at Rock Garden, share a stage with him, or simply because he is who he is: genuine. After three decades of recording excellence, Marc is pulling the faders down on Rock Garden Studio, moving on to new challenges, and returning to an old flame (i.e. writing music).

We saw the same episode of the same trash TV show. We thought the same thing as the same time. She reached out and I was ready to listen and record.  Listen as this Champaign girl turned Bloomington-Normal resident returns to talk about the most controversial topic on the planet. Heated, political, polarizing and emotional. This one is all hers, however. The spring break we will never forget followed up by the summer that pushed the limits of friendship, adulting and keeping secrets. She bravely opens up about her unexpected teen pregnancy, the choice that followed, the decisions made, how she feels about the decision now as a mom, how she will teach her daughter about sex and promote an open line of communication and how she kept the choice quiet for so long. Most importantly, Natalie shares why she wanted to talk about it decades later. No more shame. No more secrets.

Bubbly is an understatement. She is bouncy, beautiful and ultimately driven by a love for her business. Her second child.  Listen as this Tuscola woman talks about working at the outlets, always wanting to be at work over school, following what she excelled at over what she envisioned for her future, scaling down the dream of a family of five to one, managing a home and business with a commuting husband, not liking to rely on others for help, the constant cycle of adjustments and caring and conversing over selling and the bottom line. Her raspy voice, love for talking and obvious zest for life made for a compelling and easy conversation. I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor Illini Pella Windows & Doors of Champaign.

At our first formal meeting she tells me all about her job at our local alternative school.  Listen as this townie talks working at the juvenile detention center, earning trust and respect, becoming an accidental liaison for the lost pets in our community, turning off social media for self-preservation, losing students to gun violence, student success stories and taking away any excuse not to move forward by providing resources and support to kids who need it.
