Hand students a real budget and a ballot, and watch a campus transform. We sit down with Tara Bartlett (ASU), KaRa Lyn Thrasher, and Sabrina Estrada (Center for the Future of Arizona) to unpack how school participatory budgeting turns student voice into visible change—without adding noise or partisanship. From the first Arizona pilot to 80+ schools statewide, the story is clear: when students lead, engagement grows, trust deepens, and communities benefit.We break down the complete PB cycle in plain language: forming an inclusive student steering committee, collecting ideas from the whole school, vetting costs and feasibility, building a transparent ballot, campaigning with civil discourse, and running a real vote day complete with booths and “I Voted” stickers. You'll hear vivid examples—water bottle refill stations and AEDs that solved urgent needs, therapy dogs that scaled district-wide, and a Watho shade structure built with tribal partners—that showcase how culture shifts when young people drive decisions.Beyond inspiring stories, we dig into outcomes you can measure. Using a CASP framework—civic knowledge, attitudes, skills, and practices—students report stronger public speaking, teamwork, project management, empathy, and confidence to act. We address common hurdles like educator time, funding myths, and adultism, and share practical solutions: integrate PB into coursework, set aside a budget slice, recruit “not the usual suspects,” and use bite-sized trainings and resource hubs to make facilitation easier.Curious to bring PB to your district or classroom? Explore the toolkit, try the short training videos, and start with a student-led committee and a real line item. If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a review telling us what your students would put on the ballot.Check it out: https://www.arizonafuture.org/programs/education-programs/school-participatory-budgeting-in-arizona/ The Arizona Constitution ProjectCheck Out Our Free Lessons on Arizona History and Government!Follow us on:TwitterLinked InInstagramFacebookYouTubeWebsiteInterested in a Master's Degree?

Peter talks with Lara Schwartz, Founding Director of the Project on Civic Dialogue (PCD) in the School of Public Affairs at American University, as well as three PCD facilitators: Grace Manson, Arjun Mishra, and Khushi Ramnani.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid take viewers deep into the digital battlefield, breaking down Trump's sudden flood of reposts to patriot accounts, the White House sharing Alpha's viral “Seditious Six” video, and General Flynn's message that the future hinges on Americans using their collective voice. They connect key Q-post timestamps, Trump's Truth Social cues, and Melania's symbolic Christmas imagery to show how public engagement and information warfare now shape political outcomes. The hosts lay out why civic pressure, not passive spectatorship, is driving major shifts, from Cyber Command's reported strike on Serbian servers to Trump's push for paper ballots and tariff-driven tax reform. They call out psychological operations aimed at dividing MAGA, confront Alexander Vindman's claim that troops should disobey Trump, and explain how unified messaging can overwhelm institutional power. With D5 approaching and a major Oval Office announcement imminent, Alpha and Josh underscore that this moment belongs to citizens willing to act, coordinate, and push the system where it must go.

We sit down with William G. (Jerry) Berberet, the 2025 recipient of the prestigious Ernest L. Boyer Award and the founding executive director of what is now the New American Colleges & Universities. Jerry reflects on his decades in academia, the enduring moral vision of Ernest Boyer, the role of leadership and innovation, and his compelling, purpose-driven vision for higher education -- an imperative every bit as vital today as it was thirty years ago.

Grant Heather is the Manager of Vehicles for Hire within the Winnipeg Parking Authority. He introduces us to Winnipeg's vehicle-for-hire market by the numbers. There are about 2,800 rideshare vehicles and 600 taxis licensed by the City. Where annual trips totalled 4.5 million in 2018, those increased to 10.3 million in 2024. And that number is still growing with about 12 million trips expected this year. That's an average of 28,000 trips each day. The City took over licensing and enforcement of the vehicle-for-hire industry about seven years ago. Since then, there has been a lot of change. As well as some innovation. There was a gap in service for riders requiring a wheelchair accessible vehicle. Vehicles for Hire worked with the service providers to create one point of contact for those riders. This resulted in the Winnipeg WAV system. The City has also worked with Indigenous leaders to develop cultural competency training for drivers. This mandatory training has earned recognition in the industry and has other cities following suit. What's next for vehicle-for-hire in Winnipeg? Autonomous vehicles? Time will tell. Until then, Grant and his team are committed to safe and fair trips to both drivers and passengers. This podcast is recorded in Treaty One Territory, the home and traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Ininew, and Dakota peoples, and in the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We acknowledge that our drinking water comes from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, in Treaty Three Territory.  What programs and services impact you the most?

Il nous présente des données sur l'industrie des véhicules avec chauffeur de Winnipeg. Il y a environ 2 800 véhicules offrant des services de chauffeur et 600 taxis autorisés par la Ville. Le nombre total de déplacements annuels est passé de 4,5 millions en 2018 à 10,3 millions en 2024. Et ce nombre continue de croître : on prévoit environ 12 millions de déplacements cette année. C'est une moyenne de 28 000 déplacements par jour. La Ville a pris en charge la délivrance des permis et l'application des règlements dans l'industrie des véhicules avec chauffeur il y a environ sept ans. Depuis, il y a eu beaucoup de changements. Ainsi que de l'innovation. Les services offerts présentaient une lacune pour les personnes qui avaient besoin d'un véhicule accessible par fauteuil roulant. Les Véhicules avec chauffeur ont collaboré avec les fournisseurs de services pour créer un point de contact unique pour ces personnes. Il en a résulté le système Winnipeg WAV. La Ville a également collaboré avec des leaders autochtones pour mettre sur pied une formation culturelle à l'intention des conducteurs. Cette formation obligatoire a été reconnue au sein de l'industrie, et d'autres villes nous ont emboîté le pas. Quelle est la prochaine étape pour l'industrie des véhicules avec chauffeur à Winnipeg? Les véhicules autonomes? L'avenir nous le dira. D'ici là, Grant et son équipe veillent à ce que les déplacements soient sécuritaires et équitables pour les conducteurs comme les passagers.Ce balado est enregistré sur le territoire visé par le Traité no 1, le berceau et territoire traditionnel des peuples anishinaabe, ininew et dakota, et les terres ancestrales nationales des Métis de la Rivière-Rouge.

2/3. The Civic Communion Debate — Gaius observes that despite ceremonial declarations of national strength, the United States remains profoundly fragmented domestically. Germanicus presents French philosophical recommendations for "Civic Communion," emphasizing shared, major institutions—Religion, Military, Education, Healthcare—where citizens belong to each other transcending immutable background characteristics. Germanicushighlights that the US prioritizes enshrining individual rights and liberty but neglects fraternity, the concept providing implicit kinship and reciprocal obligation among citizens. Gaius articulates French exceptionalism, which embraces those joining the French civilizational sphere; the French concept of laïcité requires that kinship to France supersede sectarian and identitarian attachments. Germanicus emphasizes that the US has failed to cultivate the idea of constituting a "people" and lacks emotional bonds necessary for sustained national unity. Gaius notes this fragmentation was temporarily healed during the World Wars but is now fully developed, resembling divisions of the 1840s-1850s. Germanicus describes contemporary American society as characterized by "bile and rancor," where citizens are rewarded for denouncing American institutions, rendering reestablishment of "imagined kinship" extraordinarily difficult and requiring fundamental reconceptualization of national identity and shared purpose. 1908 FRENCH GRAND PRIX

This week, we sit down with Seth Smith, founder of the rapidly growing lab software company Greatlab.io (https://www.greatlab.io/), and Ryan Alexander from Vitality Dental Arts (https://www.vitalitydentalarts.com/), who's been living the GreatLab life since May and has plenty to say about it. Seth shares the long, winding road from e-commerce to dentistry, to clear aligners, to scanners, and finally to building what he hopes becomes the most modern, integrated, and speed-driven LMS in the industry. He talks workflow obsession, eliminating downloads, killing paper dockets, listening to lab pain points, and why he's visited over 100 labs (and keeps going). Ryan brings the real-world perspective from a 100-tech lab that went through multiple LMS transitions before landing on GreatLab. He explains how their booking teams shrank, inbound calls dropped by 50%, audits disappeared, and technicians suddenly found computers they “didn't have” once the system made their jobs easier. From the CRM that kills phone tag to ScanHub pulling every scanner into one feed, Ryan breaks down exactly what changed on the bench, in customer service, and across production. We also dig into bad scans (yes, 20% of them), doctor communication, automatic file routing, task automation, shipping integrations, data migration fears, and why some labs should not switch systems unless they're truly ready to modernize. If you've ever wondered what a cloud-based, automation-heavy, lab-built-from-the-ground-up LMS looks like—or why another lab described GreatLab as “a Ferrari while everyone else is a Civic”—this episode lays it all out.

Elvis and Barb are gearing up for their chat with the HyperDent Dude himself, Jordan Greenberg from FOLLOW-ME! Technology (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/).

Ons is vandag op die sewende dag van die 16 Dae van Aktivisme teen vrouegeweld. Intussen is twee vroue vermoor, twee verkrag en een kind verwaarloos.

Hyper-Individualism Since 1968 Has Fractured Civic Communion, Demands Rebuilding of Formative Institutions— Richard Reinsch — Reinsch argues that American politics is fundamentally undermined by a culture of hyper-individualism—a concept emerging around 1968—that divorces citizens from duty, sacrifice, and relational belonging. This cultural fragmentation has destroyed "civic communion" and social cohesion. To reclaim the republic, Reinschcontends citizens must actively resist the breakdown of formative institutions and work to restore loyalty and commitment through religion, education, family, and military service. 1898 PUERTO RICO

On this week's episode of The Codcast, Jim Peyser, who served as secretary of education under Gov. Charlie Baker, talks with executive editor Michael Jonas about the yearlong series of essays he wrote for CommonWealth Beacon on the need for civil discussion of often controversial issues in an era of polarized debate. Peyser says a healthy democracy depends on our ability to move past the current moment, where opponents are often characterized not as adversaries but enemies, and complex issues, which often involve difficult trade-offs and not just matters of right and wrong, are often reduced to strident – and simplistic – slogans. . . https://commonwealthbeacon.org/author/james-peyser/

Driving the latest Honda Civic hatchback – a model that has evolved since the first generation arrived in 1972 – a small car that established a very strong reputation - the current series refreshed for 2025, the entry petrol engine retired, now in two hybrid variants plus the potent turbo Type R for performance buffs. The entry Civic Hybrid e:HEV- L $49,990 drive-away and the better-equipped Civic e:HEV-LX $55,900 drive-away which I drove. These latest Civics getting small mid- life styling updates - a new grille and bumper, new alloy wheels and a revised range of colours. Inside connected services have been updated with a new Google-based infotainment system. Overall, a very compelling small car package with engaging driving dynamics with clever internal packaging – roomy and well equipped in the e:HEV-LX with full leather interior, power front seats, full panoramic sunroof with power blind, and wireless phone charging. The 2.0-litre petrol engine joined by a two-motor hybrid system driving the front wheels via an electric CVT transmission. The hybrid powertrain prioritises electric running, the petrol engine kicking in only under load, and the transition is seamless. This Honda Civic feels premium in look and feel – simply one of the more impressive hatchbacks I’ve tested in recent times.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textHere's a conversation with a broadcast veteran who's spent nearly 30 years in large-market media—hosting radio, interviewing icons like Eminem, Mike Tyson, Jim Brown, and Kendrick Lamar, and now operating on the executive side with a global music brand. He helped pioneer the shift from traditional radio to YouTube, building on-air personalities into on-screen creators and translating audience habits into sustainable digital growth.We dig into the strategy behind platform transitions: how to repurpose radio segments for video, design thumbnails and titles that convert, and build a content pipeline that keeps creators consistent without burning out. Expect real talk on partnerships, rights, monetization, and measuring what matters across broadcast, YouTube, and socials.His community work runs just as deep. Through Monrovia's public access network KGEM-TV, he developed civic programming—City Council and School Board recaps, How to Run for Office, Digital Dialogues—and produced events like House Party at the Park to bring neighbors together. He's launching commUNITY reIMAGINED and hopes to expand DREAM CHASERS career day in the SGV, connecting students with creative-industry pros.Recognition followed: a national honor from the Alliance for Community Media (Jewell Ryan White award for cultural diversity) and a role as city delegate in bringing the All-America City award home to Monrovia.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA battlefield victory does not guarantee control of the story. We trace how the Confederacy lost the war but captured American memory through textbooks, monuments, and movies, turning slavery into “states' rights,” treason into tragic romance, and Robert E. Lee into a spotless icon. Using the secession documents themselves, we dismantle the core claims of the Lost Cause and show how Reconstruction briefly expanded freedom before a campaign of terror shut it down.We walk through the quiet mechanics of narrative power: Northern leaders prioritized reconciliation over enforcement, Southern school boards formed an effective textbook cartel, and publishers chased the larger market with softened editions. Civic groups and Hollywood sealed the myth, from donated schoolbooks and bronze statues to Birth of a Nation and Gone with the Wind. The result wasn't just bad history—it was policy permission for Jim Crow, a blank space where Black history should have been taught, and a culture that treated armed defiance of federal law as debatable theater.There's a way forward. We point to the three forces that finally cracked the legend—the civil rights movement, an academic insurgency led by historians like James McPherson, Eric Foner, and Gary Gallagher, and mass media that centered slavery rather than sidestepping it. Then we offer concrete steps: read primary sources such as secession ordinances and Alexander Stephens's cornerstone speech, audit local curricula for evidence-based accounts, and update monument plaques to tell the whole truth. If unused power is surrendered power, then the antidote is active, public truth-telling. Key Points from the Episode:• the secession documents centering slavery, not abstract states' rights• early Confederate advantages versus strategic failure myths• Robert E. Lee's record and theology of bondage• Reconstruction's gains and the terror that ended it• textbook markets, UDC influence, and Hollywood's role• measurable harms: Jim Crow, lynching, erased Black history• the three breaks: civil rights, academic insurgency, mass media• practical steps: read primary sources, audit curricula, update plaquesOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Emma Klues, Vice President of Communications and Outreach for Great Rivers Greenway joins to talk about the 25th anniversary and looking ahead to new projects.

The show starts with the 2025 Lucid Air Sedans, which Benjamin thoroughly reviews. This EV sedan from a well-funded startup, promises lots of performance and range, but Benjamin has some thoughts to share about all that. And he wonders, why do we have to keep changing the way we turn cars on and off? Then Sami takes on the 2025 Acura ADX, a much needed subcompact crossover in the Japanese automakers lineup. Based around the Integra, Civic and (ugh) HR-V, the ADX features a punchy 1.5-turbo which may be able to help us gloss over the car's CVT. Sami has plenty of positives and negatives to discuss with the ADX, so be sure to listen to the whole segment to learn everything you need to know about this new crossover.

Just over three months into his new role as leader of Braver Angels, we hear from CEO Maury Giles about his hopes, plans and goals for America's largest volunteer-led movement working to bridge partisan divides and disagree better for the common good.America has lost much of its civic muscle, and it's time to get it back, Maury tells our host, Richard Davies. Rising polarization, declining trust in public institutions and the media, the spread of misinformation, the longest-ever government shutdown, and recent political violence are all signs that something is deeply wrong with our public square."We're trying to help people understand first and foremost that the choice you have to make is that of personal agency: To say am I going to act or react?,” Maury says."In this country we all have the ability to express a point of view and to try to work to solve things, and we don't have to rely on our elected officials to do that. But we've lost sight of our civic muscle.”Maury Giles came to Braver Angels after a career in journalism, politics, market research, communications strategy, experience design, and business development. Richard asked him about the challenges and opportunities he faces as a bridge builder at a difficult time.We hear about the case for citizen-led solutions, and why the true remedy to our civic challenges isn't reaction, but action, with neighbors working with their neighbors across divisions and mistrust. Over the past sixteen months, “How Do We Fix It?” has published more than twenty episodes about the people, projects and ideas of Braver Angels. Find them at our website.
