Welcome back to Delta Waterfowl's “The Voice of the Duck Hunter” podcast with host Joel Brice.Today, we have an exciting episode lined up because my guests are two men I've collaborated with for years on one of Delta's most well-known, popular, and effective initiatives: enhancing duck production on breeding habitat through targeted predator management and Hen House programs. Mike Buxton, a waterfowl biologist with extensive expertise in the effects of predators on nesting ducks, focuses on making predator management more efficient, effective, and widely implemented.And then there's Matt Chouinard, our expert in optimizing and expanding Delta's thousands of strategically placed, elevated cylindrical nesting structures known as Hen Houses. You won't want to miss his insights on why Hen Houses provide hen mallards the best chance of success, how Delta continually works to maximize ducks produced per dollar invested, and essential considerations if you're thinking about building and installing your own Hen House.Together, Mike and Matt form the backbone of our efforts to get a huge number of ducks into the fall flight. In our conversation, we discuss why Delta's work is increasingly vital, how Hen Houses, predator management, and habitat conservation support one another, and what the future of large-scale duck production looks like as Delta ramps up its Million Duck Campaign. Guests:Mike BuxtonWaterfowl Programs DirectorInnovator—continues pushing PM's efficiency and effectiveness to new heights.Matt ChouinardWaterfowl Programs DirectorKnown as Delta's Hen House guruKyle WintersteenDelta Waterfowl Magazine Editor Delta Waterfowl: https://deltawaterfowl.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DeltaFans/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deltawaterfowl/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DeltaWaterfowl/

In this episode, I'm joined by Jarrett Chouinard, the founder of Stellar Retreats, who shares his inspiring journey into the short-term rental world. Starting with just one arbitrage unit in Connecticut, Jared has grown his business into a thriving operation spanning multiple properties in New York, Rhode Island, and beyond. We'll dive into his experiences with the challenges of the arbitrage model, how he navigates working with landlords, and the lessons he's learned about guest demographics and client relationships. Jared also shares his approach to technology, systems, and building a team that supports growth. And as if that's not enough, we'll also talk about Jared's ambitious plans for the future and his entrepreneurial ideas that go beyond short-term rentals. This is a must-listen for anyone looking to learn, grow, and succeed in the short-term rental industry. Let's get started!  Things we discussed in this episode: Jared's transition from media and advertising into short-term rentals and real estate. The challenges and risks of the Airbnb arbitrage model, including dealing with landlords. The differences in guest demographics and communication styles across Jared's properties in different locations. Jared's approach to saying no to potential clients who don't fit his standards and the importance of working with the right partners. The technology and systems Jared uses, including smart locks, cameras, property management software, and supply delivery. Jared's plans to expand Stellar Retreats to 15 clients by the end of the year and his interest in other entrepreneurial ventures. The value of building a reliable ground team and the challenges of managing properties remotely. The benefits of hosting a short-term rental meetup in New York City to build a local network and community. The lessons Jared wishes he had known when starting, including the importance of not being intimidated by challenges. The role of trial and error, making mistakes, and learning in growing a successful short-term rental business.

Reporting on the latest and most significant developments and stories in the design industry via Business of Home, both Haley Chouinard, Managing Editor, and Caroline Biggs, Market Editor, have seen it all. But one thing that they both agree on is that sustainability is much more than a buzz word in interior design - it is becoming the set standard for industry trends moving forward. With these two market insiders, they talk to us about the products and brands that are on their radar that are actively working on creating more sustainable home design solutions. Of particular note, according to these two journalists, is circularity and how this concept is becoming more of a common practice for many brands in product development. Their observations go beyond the American market, as they frequent fairs in Europe and explain the impact of sustainable home design and the brands that are making the biggest waves.

In 2022, Patagonia outdoors-wear brand owner and self-described socialist Yvon Chouinard and his family transferred ownership of the company to Holdfast Collective, an LLC that controls 98 percent of the shares, and the Patagonia Purpose Trust, an entity that holds two percent of the shares and allows Chouinard's family to retain effective control of Patagonia. Holdfast Collective was announced as an environmentalist project, with Chouinard claiming, “Earth is now [Patagonia's] only shareholder.” But Americans for Public Trust found something curious in some FEC filings: Holdfast Collective is using some nonprofit groups it created and manages Arabella Advisors-style to make contributions to Democratic Super PACs, and the paperwork is questionable. Here to explain is Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director of Americans for Public Trust, which filed a complaint asking the Federal Elections Commission to investigate.

Kellie Chouinard is a student, teacher, and researcher from Ontario, Canada. She was diagnosed at 34 with Triple Negative breast cancer. In this episode, Kellie reads her essay “Pressure, Pause” from Wildfire Magazine's 2023 “Body” issue. Kellie's piece is about the complicated relationship we have with our bodies that extends into breast cancer - and the complicated pressures we experience to try to control our bodies. April and Kellie will discuss body image issues that came before cancer, the things that can cause brain fog beyond chemo, and having our pain dismissed by medical professionals. They will also talk about Kellie's work teaching photography and social media. Listen to the end to hear April share another great writing prompt inspired by this story.More about Kellie: https://www.instagram.com/thelipreader/https://thelipreader.wordpress.com/Check out the “Body” issue here:https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/shop/p/body23If you loved this episode, you might also love “Cancer Breaks Us In Ways That Are Familiar with Madison Hager”: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/1f857507-e12f-4c6c-a410-2e1da06499cbBuy the Wildfire book Igniting the Fire Within: Stories of Healing, Hope & Humor, Inside Today's Young Breast Cancer Community: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJVJ629F?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860Get the free Wildfire “Hot Flashes” email newsletter: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/newsletter?rq=newsletterLearn about Wildfire writing workshops: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/workshopsShop Wildfire merch & more: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/shop*Free* Get Wildfire and The Burn freebies here: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/freeMore about Wildfire Magazine: https://www.wildfirecommunity.orghttps://www.instagram.com/wildfire_bc_magazine/https://www.facebook.com/wildfirecommunityInformation on submitting your story for consideration to be published in Wildfire Magazine: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/submissions

Over the years, Patagonia has been recognized as much for its social and environmental practices as it has for its clothes. In an unprecedented move in 2022, the Chouinard family gave the company away, converting ownership to a simple structure of trusts so that all its profits could be used to protect our “home planet” and reverse the climate crisis, an enduring and pressing issue that has been around as long as the company has.Today we are joined by a returning guest and one of Patagonia's original employees, Vincent Stanley, who currently serves as the company's in-house philosopher (and, more informally, their chief storyteller). Vincent also co-authored The Responsible Company: What We've Learned From Patagonia's First 50 Years with Yvon Chouinard. The book draws on 50 years of experience at Patagonia to challenge business owners and leaders to reevaluate their businesses in a time of cultural and climate chaos.For full show notes, visit: https://www.lifteconomy.com/blog/vincent-stanley/

Ep.166 features Lari Pittman. Over the course of his decades-long career, Lari Pittman (b. 1952, Los Angeles, CA, lives and works in Los Angeles, CA) has developed a unique visual aesthetic that has established him as one of the most significant painters of his generation. Pittman's signature, densely-layered painting style includes a lexicon of signs and symbols (such as bells, eggs, animals, and ropes), a compilation of varied painting techniques, and a clear homage to the handmade, craft, and the decorative. Pittman creates complex compositions that mediate the tension between color, text, and imagery; landscape and decoration; and chaos and order with remarkable dexterity and often on a large scale, and the artist has an innate ability to create compositions in which each element within a painting is given equal space and significance. In the mid-1970s, Pittman attended California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California, completing a B.F.A. and an M.F.A. The Institute's strong feminist arts program challenged the devaluation of art forms traditionally associated with women, and it was partially as a result of his engagement with this program that Pittman developed an interest in undermining aesthetic hierarchies and embracing the decorative arts. Pittman's strong affinity for the decorative can be seen throughout his numerous bodies of work, and it has contributed to his singular visual style. While Pittman's early works were informed by the socio-political struggle resulting from the peak of the AIDS epidemic, racial discord, and LGBTQ+ civil rights struggles that defined the last two decades of the 20th century, his later paintings evince a shift in focus towards interior spaces, including domestic and psychological subjects. Solo exhibitions of his work have been organized at Museo Jumex, Mexico City, Mexico (2022); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA (2019). Select group exhibitions featuring Pittman's work include Kistefos Museum, Jevnaker, Norway (2023); Chapter Three, Amore Pacific Museum of Art, Seoul, South Korea (2021); Invisible Sun, The Broad, Los Angeles, CA (2021); Duro Olowu: Seeing Chicago, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL (2020); 50 + 50: A Creative Century from Chouinard to CalArts, REDCAT, Los Angeles, CA (2020); Waking Dream, Ruby City, San Antonio, TX (2019). Pittman's work is in numerous public and private collections. Please visit cerebralwomen.com for his expanded bio.

You say yes, of course. But what about those other wild opportunities that you're not so sure about? In this episode, we talk to athletes and adventurers about how accepting an invitation led them to life-changing experiences. Jimmy Chin was an unknown dirtbag climber when Chouinard welcomed him into his California home and then took him surfing at a legendary break. Conrad Anker was an up-and-coming alpinist when he got a chance to represent the U.S. in a competition in Kyrgyzstan. Timmy O'Neill was an emerging mountain athlete when he was asked to join an expedition that would conduct cataract surgeries in a remote area of Ethiopia. What they and our other guests all agree on: they wouldn't be who they are today if they hadn't dared to go for it.

We've dissected the hirings of Michael Winger and Will Dawkins so it was time to cover Travis Schlenk's addition in more detail. Kevin Chouinard (@KLChouinard) of Hawks.com joins the podcast to discuss Schlenk's time as Head of Basketball Ops for the Atlanta Hawks. We go over his draft and trade history in Atlanta and his involvement in key draft decisions with Golden State. There's at least one major drafting tendency that he and Bob Myers seem to share. Chouinard gives great perspective on Schlenk, his team-building philosophy, and what that might mean for the future of Wizards. Schlenk basically rebuilt the Hawks in three years, could he do the same in DC if given the chance? Tune in to find out! Presented by betonline.ag!

Segment 4, June 3rd, 2023 Thank you to our guests Ray Matthews & Captain Dave Chouinard for joining host, Bill Bartee, on the Carolina Outdoors. Father's Day is upcoming & Father's Day gifts in Charlotte are becoming more important that ever. Heed Matthews' call to spend time with your kids.  Stop by the fly shop of Charlotte, Jesse Brown's, to help find the right one. It is tarpon season in Mexico, the Bahamas, & domestically, in Florida.  Captain Dave Chouinard returns to the Carolina Outdoors for a breakdown in sport & the fish.  Note that most anglers are using 9' 11 weights or 9' 12 weight fly rods.  Also note that Chouinard stated that the best way to fish for the silver kings is with a fly rod. Remember, it is National Trails Day.  Celebrate it with a hike around your neighborhood, state park, national forest or park. Remember to take a water bottle (full of water) & wear proper walking shoes. Plus, remember to make the Carolina Outdoors better than you found it...& pick up your trash.

Segment 2, June 3rd, 2023 Tarpon seaon is currently in full-effect.  Travelers are coming into Jesse Brown's preparing for fly fishing trips to places like Mexico, Bahamas, & Cuba for the tarpon.  While tarpon fisheries in those countries are great. there is none better than Florida. Captain Dave Chouinard returns to the Carolina Outdoors with a report on why this time of year is so hard on marriages, job performance, & time spent with families.  The reason?  It's Tarpon season & pursuit of the Silver Kings become an addiction. Chouinard is like a fly fishing poet talking about the skiffs that provide a stealthiness, the beauty of casting a fly rod, & why these amazing fish are traveling through this part of the world.  He also speaks on the pressure that has occurred in some places. Show highlights: Why the specially made boats, called skiffs, are used? How the sport is addictive due to the size, access, & acrobatics of these one-hundred pound, thirty-year old fish. The intelligence of the tarpon is due to their 113-million year history in the world & they utilize an air-bladder This is the mating season for the tarpon & they congregate during this time of year There is a one-hundred pound, skin mounted tarpon from the keys in the fly shops in Charlotte, Jesse Brown's. In the spirit of the conversation, the host put on a pair of Flats Sneakers from Simms during the interview.  Producer of the show, TJ Boggs, put on a Patagonia Sun Shirt from Jesse Brown's

Sarah Bratton Hughes is the Head of ESG & Sustainable Investing for American Century Investments. American Century is not your standard investment firm. They have embedded purpose into their core, with a focus on supporting breakthrough medical research. In the 1990s, the founder of American Century and his wife, Jim and Virginia Stowers, established and endowed the Stowers Institute for Medical Research from their personal fortune. This world-class biomedical research organization owns a controlling interest in American Century, and more than 40% of American Century's profits go to the Institute to ensure ongoing funding for medical research. In 2015 American Century and the Institute received the Financial Services Cares Award for their roles in the fight against cancer.  Sarah Bratton Hughes has been a senior leader in the finance industry for the past 15 years. Before joining American Century, she worked at JP Morgan and Schroders.  In this episode we discuss: ●      What ESG and Sustainable Investing means ●      The 3 factors that are accelerating ESG and Sustainable Investing ●      American Century's unique business and ownership model (that funds medical research)  Key Takeaways: ●      The impact American Century - and its employees - are able to have has two key components. Like any company, the first is based on their industry. As an investment firm, they create impact based on the businesses they choose to invest in. This can be positive or negative. On a basic level, investments act as a vote for the type of companies that will be around in the future. With the American Century focus on ESG and Sustainable Investing, they are including not just financial returns, but social and environmental returns in their investment approach.  By doing this, the company is voting with its investments to shift what business looks like in the future. ●      The second component is something most companies don't think about or innovate around. It's their unique business structure. The way Jim and Virginia Stowers restructured the ownership model of American Century to establish a sustainable funding mechanism for medical research that supports their values and benefits society. How a business is owned and structured has an enormous impact on the role it plays in society. Ownership models are an area that's ripe for disruption. A more recent example is Patagonia. In 2022 Patagonia made Earth the only shareholder when the Chouinard family transferred all ownership to two new entities: Patagonia Purpose Trust and the Holdfast Collective. With this ownership move, every dollar that is not reinvested back into the company will be distributed as dividends to protect the planet. How would your relationship with your job change, if you knew its success was funding what you value most? ●      There's a lot of work to be done around changing the way we measure the success of an investment, and equally, the way we measure the success of a company. Collectively, we don't have the measurement systems nailed down yet for ESG. This will take time. A lot of organizations are innovating new approaches.  It's important to find ways to come together and collaborate,  to share what's working and what's not working, and to establish best practices. We don't have the luxury of time for each company to invent the wheel from scratch.

Today I'm talking with Colorado businesswoman Sheri Tingey. Sheri pioneered an entire adventure sport, while many her age were mulling retirement. Recently, on her 77th birthday, Sheri Tingey finally saw her dream come true.   Two decades and dozens of prototypes later, Alpacka Raft launched the Valkyrie. Suited for Class V whitewater, this Packraft is the closest resemblance of a hard shell kayak ever made. It's the culmination of Sheri's ambitions since she designed the modern-day Packraft and built the brand 22 years ago. Her idea blossomed into a 50-employee company, making the brand a leader in the outdoor industry and one of the largest employers in the small mountain town of Mancos, CO.

Contact me here: email: rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com or leave me a message on Speakpipe! Brought to you by: Thrive Market Show Notes Let's start with how you got into the outdoors. You know, honestly, I've been in the outdoors from the time I can remember I was born and raised in Phoenix. I, from the time I was a very small child, I hated the heat, didn't, you know, didn't want anything to do with that. But there was a camp out of Prescott and my dad would build cabins for them. I only have a tiny memory of that, but by the next year, that and that camp was everything about being in the outdoors. And how did you learn how to sew and make things? I come from the generation that women still, you know, sewed. My grandmother lived with us and she made all of our clothes, in those days. You know, today it, it is kind of interesting, sewing has become one of these lost arts that's sort of, redefining itself again. But when I was young, clothing was very expensive and so most people sewed. My grandmother lived in a little tiny cabin out and back and she had a little singer. And you know, she didn't so much teach us as my sister and I would just watch her and she let us use the sewing machine. And so by the time Rogue was five and I was three. We started sewing. Where'd you learn to kayak? Yep. I, I had moved to Jackson Hole in 1967, and lived there for many years till we moved to Alaska. And I started kayaking. I got invited on a trip on the Owyhee River. Some friends who were, uh, ski friends who had and you, I'm trying to think, this would be about 1971. Okay. Something like that. Mm-hmm. 72 maybe. And you know, at that time there were kayaks on the East coast and there were some kayaks in Seattle and Los Angeles, but almost nothing in the Rocky Mountains. Kayaking had not hit yet. I was a water fanatic and I am invited on this trip on the Owyhee River, and there were four kayaks and one raft. And I, of course, was in the raft and I had never seen kayaks before. And I took one look at those things and went, oh my God, this is the way you, you know, all of a sudden you have waves, you have water, it's like the ocean. So the, uh, last day of the trip, the three of us that were in the raft, they traded off and let us play in the kayaks. And I just was, you know, it was love the second I got in and I was like, oh my God, I am home. Did that also get you in rafting? You know, I was never a quote-unquote rafter. I think rafts are great, but particularly then, even now, you need a lot of stuff for a raft. You need at least four people and a lot of stuff. You need a good trailer. You need all this stuff. There's nothing small about owning a raft, but buying this world-famous that weighed, you know, what, 25 pounds or something? You could throw it in the back of the car. Looking back I realized, wow, those were dots, that those were the dots in the line of development for building pack rafts that I would've never even remotely thought about. It was this reality that, wow, I don't want a huge raft. I want something I can throw in the back of the car. I want something that, you know, can support my kayak trip. Share with us the early days from that first boat. Sounds like you made your first boat and played around with it. How long after that first boat did the company start? Two years earlier, Thor went to Colorado College, which is a school that had an adventure program that gave grants for basically adventure travel. And it was done because one of the previous alumni, Rick Kellogg was a climber and he was killed on Mount Foraker and his parents had a fair amount of money and started a fund at this college for travel. So Thor won a grant his sophomore year, and there were five of them. And that year they took a, I don't know what it was, like a three-week or a month trip at that point. So, the idea was always there, but there wasn't a boat. And so long story short, the summer before Thor's first trip, Roman Dial and Carl Tobin had done a thing called heli biking the Alaska Range. They started at the Alaska-Yukon border and followed the Alaska range up and ended up at Lake Clark. They were gone all summer and they had their bikes and they had these little pack rafts that were made by Sherpa. So that was the year before Thor won his grant. And we knew Roman. So when Thor was trying to figure out what he wanted to do, my ex and I said at the time, you should talk to Roman, cuz Roman just knows so much about travel in the state. And so Roman kind of put Thor onto making a pack raft, quote unquote work, and do this last third of the trip that they'd done. And so they did that year. And those boats, they bought little $79.95 Sevylors. So with almost every mile, one of the boats out of the five would sink and they, you know, they just repaired and repaired and repaired and repaired. And so any rate, when he returned from that trip, he said, I will never ever, ever, ever take a Sevylor anywhere again. And so fast forward two years and, and he has a trip again, and there was another gentleman named Curtis, his last name was Curtis. He was a Boeing engineer, and in one of those bust economies, he started building these beautiful little boats, but it was made out of tissue paper practically. He was a high-country lake fisherman, and that's what they were designed for. Thor was climbing Denali when the boat arrived. And I unpacked this thing and I took one look and I thought, oh my God, you are so toast You're not even gonna get off the lake in this thing. So I went down to Joanne Fabrics, and in those days they actually had some Pack Cloth and glued it on the bottom, at least to give him something of a floor. Then he got off Denali and heads off on this trip. And so when he returned, as they say, I weighed that boat and I weighed about three and a half pounds when it left, and it was close to 15 pounds. at the end of the year when it came back and it was just patch on patch on patch. And that's when he said, can you build me a boat and like a dummy I said, uh, yeah. Are there any future projects you guys are working on that you can talk about? Well, you know, and what's been fun the Valkyrie, this last boat that just came out. I lovingly call her the bitch because she is the bitch. Dustin and I, and Thor and everyone, we've worked so long on this boat. There are so many things we learned off of that boat. Uh, just like with all, all of these things, you know, it's that classic progression, right, that you learn a new technique, well then you take back and you know, it drips down to all the others and, oh, we can do this now, we can do that now. And there are so many things I learned off of building the Valkyrie that I can now take forward into some of these other boats that I'm doing that I wouldn't even thought about. So do you get outside much? Do you get to paddle a lot? The last two years, to be honest, I've been real active up till about two years ago, and then my chronic fatigue just came out of the closet again. And so it'll, well, It's life. At least I'm functioning again. The most I get out is I bought, I broke down and bought a nice electric bike. I'm trying to ski a little bit this winter, but I'm also starting to get Healthier. Do you have any suggestions or advice for folks wanting to get into the outdoor adventure business? One, don't be afraid of it. It's one of the things that happens, and it was a, one of the biggest lessons for me, you know, I had my business making ski clothing. I started in 1968, you know, and went till 1981. And at that point was, when all there were so many little tiny manufacturers like myself and then Patagonia, Chouinard at that time, and North Face and all those guys all of a sudden just exploded, blew up. And all of us in this, in the industry that were little thought, this is the end. You know, there's, there's no hope. There's no room for anybody else. And what I came to find out many years later is, that's not true because as these companies get bigger, they, you can't be great big and be cutting edge. It just doesn't work. If you, the more people you sell to, the more you have to dumb down your, gears the wrong word, but in a way it's, it, it has to be more standard. There's always room on the cutting edge. Yeah. If you're gonna try to do something standardized, yeah you might have some problems, you know, then you're fighting the big voice. But if you can make something really good that's out there on that edge that has a market, absolutely you can do it. I think the most difficult thing today is, which didn't used to be such a problem is getting your hands on the fabrics that you need. Some of those companies are not so willing to sell the good stuff, but, you can find your way through it. It you just have to be persistent. You can do it, but just be careful about where you start and you don't need to be a giant. Start small and let it grow, you know? That's perfect. Do you have a favorite piece of outdoor gear under a hundred dollars that you use a lot that you like? When I saw that, I chuckled. Several years ago we had moved into Anchorage. There was an article in the paper about a man and his son uh, out in the Bethel area, which is, well it's out in the big delta there. Anyway, it was early June and I, I don't even remember the river that they were running, but they had come around a corner, you know, they're out in the middle of absolute nowhere and the entire river was frozen over and they went under the ice. Long story short, it wasn't too far. The whole thing went under and they broke out the other side and you know, they lost everything. He and his son survived because he had a waterproof lighter. And in those days I always had lighters and I always put 'em in plastic baggies and everything, and never thought that, but any rate, I went down and I bought a waterproof lighter and It's one of the coolest things I've ever owned, and it is such an incredible safety thing to have that, you know, this thing's gonna work. That's a great thing to have. Do you have a couple favorite Books? John Kretschmer Cape Horn to Starboard Sailing a Serious Ocean As we wrap up, is there anything else you'd like to say to, or ask of our listeners? You know, I would say one thing, but I think it's apropo of this time in particular. And this is not just alpaca, all of these companies like alpaca, that chose to stay here. People need to understand just how difficult that is for these, companies, to choose to produce in this country. Everything works against you. It's so easy to say, oh, I'm going abroad and I'm gonna get slave labor and I'm gonna get this and I'm gonna get that and I'm gonna make my big bucks. Any of these smaller companies that choose to do their production at home. They're gonna be a little more expensive. But they give people jobs. They're, there's just so much about them that people need to recognize that it's not all about the darn bottom dollar, you know? So you save five bucks. Uh, think about where you're buying and why you're buying it, because there are a lot of companies like ours, especially in the outdoor industry now, there's many of 'em, Give him a, a good hard look. Follow up with Sheri Just call Alpacka and they will get in contact with me and I will contact 'em back.

Why The Owner of Patagonia Gave Away The Whole Company Earlier this week, the founder and owner of Patagonia Yvon Chouinard—the company known for their famous puffer jackets and outdoor gear—gave away the whole company. Who'd he give it to? The Earth. “Hopefully this will influence a new form of capitalism that doesn't end up with a few rich people and a bunch of poor people,” Chouinard told David Gelles for The New York Times. “We are going to give away the maximum amount of money to people who are actively working on saving this planet.” Purbita Saha, deputy editor at Popular Science, debriefs Ira on Chouinard's decision, as well as other science stories of the week. They talk about if it's safe to get the COVID booster and flu shot at the same time, how a new blood test could catch early stages of cancer, why the night sky is bluer, the reason why NASA is crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid, and the fight over trash between cockatoos and Australians.   Depression Isn't Caused By Low Serotonin. So How Do Antidepressants Work? In 2001, a now classic Zoloft commercial hit the airwaves—featuring a sad little blob with a rain cloud following it around. The commercial explains that “while the cause is unknown, depression may be related to an imbalance of natural chemicals between nerve cells in the brain. Prescription Zoloft works to correct this imbalance.” That theory of depression as a chemical imbalance is based on a simple premise: Depressed people's brains lack serotonin. If a patient takes a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), like Prozac or Zoloft, it boosts their serotonin levels, and their depression lifts. The trouble is that when researchers started testing this theory they found it didn't hold up. Serotonin is certainly involved in depression. But it's way more complicated than it originally seemed.To be clear, there is a body of research showing that antidepressants do work—it's just unclear exactly how they work. Read the rest at sciencefriday.com. Understanding Metabolism Genes Might Improve Depression Treatment Sometimes finding the right antidepressant medication is basically trial and error. Scientists are still trying to figure out why some antidepressants work for some people, but not others. Researchers at the Veterans Administration wanted to know if genetic testing might help doctors with prescribing the antidepressant best suited for their patients. Specifically, they examined genes that indicate whether or not someone is able to properly metabolize a medication. Ira is joined by Dr. David Oslin, professor of psychiatry at the Crescenz Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center and University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, to explain his latest research and its broader implications.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.  

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome better polling news for the likes of Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson and and GOP hopefuls in the critical states of Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and even Pennsylvania. They also notice the odd trend of Democrats like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Washington Sen. Patty Murray refusing to debate their Republican opponents. And they may have sprained their eyeballs as the very rich Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard presents himself as a socialist who regrets becoming so wealthy and is now dedicated to saving the planet.
