Jeff Gorman is cycling on The Road to Newport and he's here to talk to all about this epic adventure. One half of the amazing and powerful rock duo Illiterate Light, Jeff, along with his bandmate Jake Cochran — who both pioneered the pedal powered and off-the-grid Bike Stage at Newport Folk — are cycling the 700 miles from the Shenandoah Valley all the way to Newport, Rhode Island for this year's Newport Folk Festival!!     Illiterate Light represents the true epic nature of the DIY spirit — that authenticity, energy and boundless creativity can truly bring people together and even seek to create change. Jeff talks to me about what this epic year of 2025 has already brought the band, and we discuss the importance of bike riding, their latest album, Arches, and what it meant to Jeff to play with My Morning Jacket at MMJ's One Big Holiday festival this past April.  -----------------------------------Show Notes:To follow The Road to Newport follow Illiterate Light on Instagram, @illiteratelightClick here for Illiterate Light tour datesFollow Roadcase on Instagram here:  @Roadcasepod---------------------------------Episode Chapters:00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg06:40 The Road to Newport: Cycling and Music09:32 The Bike Stage at Newport Folk Festival12:24 Artists and Performances at the Festival15:17 The Significance of Participation and Community18:23 Personal Journeys and Environmental Awareness21:26 The Future of Cycling and Music24:22 Conclusion and Final Thoughts30:06 Biking Through Life and Music31:36 Community Engagement and Bike Advocacy32:50 Innovative Touring: The Road to Newport33:26 Partnerships and Equipment: Jamis Bikes36:06 Preparing for the Journey: Logistics and Challenges37:23 Exciting Performances: Upcoming Shows and Collaborations39:51 The Magic of Red Rocks: A Dream Come True42:30 Collaborating with Influences: My Morning Jacket44:30 The Power of Music: Emotional Connections55:14 Support and Brotherhood in Music56:39 Celebrating the Release of 'Arches' and Its Impact59:07 The Creative Process at Sunset Sound01:05:17 The Legacy of Sunset Sound and Its Influence01:09:50 The Evolution of Illiterate Light's Sound01:15:52 Embracing Creativity and the Journey01:21:22 Preparing for the Road to NewportFor more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

In this very special episode of Bonfire Conversations, I finally sit down with Ludvig Forssell—composer and audio director behind Metal Gear Solid V, Death Stranding, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.We talk about his journey from Sweden to Japan, how he landed his first gig at Konami, and what it's really like collaborating with Hideo Kojima. Ludvig shares stories from behind the scenes, the emotional philosophy behind Death Stranding 2, and why AAA games may be forgetting the beauty of music.We also explore love, fear, and absurdity in our Penny for Your Thoughts segment—including what it's like to work with Norman Reedus and the moment a fishbone beach became the sound of another world.This conversation took place while I was in Iran—just weeks after the country was bombarded and cut off from the world. But against all odds, through chaos and broken signals, we made this connection happen. And maybe that's the spirit of Death Stranding too.

Even being confronted with something that is weird or uncomfortable: it's character growth. You have to ask the question: why is this person doing this weird thing? It's a good exercise in empathy, to be perfectly honest. Why is this person doing this thing? Why does that make me uncomfortable? What, what is it about my perception that has shaped this experience for me? I feel like those are really essential questions for us to be constantly asking ourselves, especially in an age where there's a lot of discord, a lot of dissent and a lot of disagreement. And the better we understand ourselves, the better we're able to engage with humans who are different than us.My conversation with Meghan Moe Beitiks, assistant professor in theatre at Concordia University in Montreal. Meghan Moe is an artist and designer working with associations and disassociations of culture, nature and structure. Our mutual friend Ian Garrett thought we might get along. We did. Our conversation focused on Meghan Moe's Angles of Consequence project, a season of site-specific performances with Canadian performers to create work with reflected sunlight in key sites of climate advocacy and destruction in Québec. Meghan Moe and I had tea in Montreal. It was a very, enlightening, conversation. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AI:Action pointsRecognize art's crucial role in processing emotions and spreading information during crises.Explore the use of reflected sunlight in art to highlight climate change issues.Support Indigenous resistance against fossil fuel expansion as an effective climate action.Consider the impact of positionality (literal and cultural) on our perspectives.Utilize resources like Canada Green Tools to calculate and reduce the carbon footprint of events.Story PreviewImagine art that dances with the sun, revealing hidden truths about our planet's climate crisis.

It evolved into a series of site-specific performances addressing climate change in Québec, highlighting both the destructive forces of fossil fuels and the powerful resistance of Indigenous communities. The project aims to create an open-access guide, encouraging global engagement with sunlight performance art. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

In this installment of minisodes, we tackle a common AAC challenge: what happens when professionals don't agree? The BCBA recommends PECS, the SLP suggests a dynamic device… Now what? Welcome to the standard trial of non-collaborative chaos.There are plenty of barriers to AAC collaboration, but also practical steps that can lead to smoother teamwork. The first is building familiarity. AAC can feel overwhelming, but taking time to learn the basics makes collaboration more effective.One key reminder: the device belongs to the student. Everyone on the team should be working toward the same goal—supporting the individual's communication needs across their lifespan.Joint assessment can help, and tools like the free ALP AAC assessment offer a shared starting point. Another useful strategy is to assign a single person to program the device. This reduces confusion and ensures consistency.Most importantly, collaboration keeps families from being caught in the middle. When professionals work together, outcomes improve—for everyone involved.#autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:10-minute summer series.Free Assessment.Collaborating every step from assessment through intervention.Mentioned In This Episode:ALP AAC Assessment AAC course bundle Speech Membership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – For over 16 years, U.S. military planners tracked Iran's fortified Fordow nuclear site, concluding in 2009 that existing munitions were insufficient. Collaborating with defense contractors, they developed the 30,000-pound GBU-57 bombs, deployed last weekend in Operation Midnight Hammer. Fourteen GBU-57s and two dozen Tomahawk missiles struck undetected, demonstrating strategic precision...

Collaborating with Northern Exile, I have joined a gaming group to play Cyberpunk Red set in the year 2087.

Elite Irish sprinters participating in a study at Lero, one of the world's leading software research centres at the University of Limerick, to determine the effectiveness of super spike sprint shoes, could boost their chances of success at the 2028 Olympics. Lero researchers at the University of Limerick's Sport and Human Performance Research Centre (SHPRC) have embarked on the research in collaboration with innovative Irish sports analytics company DANU are still recruiting elite Irish athletes to use DANU's groundbreaking wearable smart socks technology to capture and analyse athlete-specific data, focusing on the biomechanical assessment of super spike shoes. Professor Ian Kenny questioned whether athletes at the 2024 Olympics choose super spikes due to sponsorship deals or for their technological benefits and injury prevention. "Using real-world metrics on the track and not the lab, we will gain key insights into the benefits of DANU's technology, super spikes, and their impact on our elite sprinters - gaining a fraction of a second could give an Irish athlete a podium finish and a medal," he added. Lero researcher Shane Hassett said the research will quantify performance outcomes such as speed, ground contact time, flight time, muscle activation, and ankle kinematics to distinguish super spike shoes from other running spikes. "We will investigate if the DANU sports system can be used to monitor biomechanical changes in gait when wearing the super spike shoes, focusing on how specific components biomechanically change an athlete's sprint profile," he added. DANU founder and CEO Oisín Lennon said they are delighted to continue their collaboration with the University of Limerick and LERO, who he described as leaders in software and research innovation. "UL supported us in our early development, playing a vital role in validating our technology and shaping the direction of our platform. That early partnership was instrumental in helping us move from concept to a scientifically grounded product. "Now, it's incredibly rewarding to see LERO and UL using our technology to drive groundbreaking research in elite sprinting - pushing the limits of what's possible in biomechanics and performance science. "Collaborating with researchers of this calibre not only validates our approach but also ensures we stay at the forefront of innovation. We're excited to contribute to work that has the potential to impact sport at the highest level."

How can a centuries-old art supply company teach us about running a pet care business? This episode draws lessons from La Maison du Pastel in Paris, a 300-year-old handcrafted pastel maker, to explore what it means to build a business rooted in quality and culture. It highlights the importance of prioritizing craft over scale, using thoughtful service offerings to meet specific client needs, and collaborating with clients to create personalized care. The conversation also emphasizes the power of storytelling in marketing and preserving company culture through growth and change. You'll walk away inspired to build a business that's small, intentional, and deeply connected to its clients. Main Topics Craft over scale in pet care Designing services for specific client needs Collaborating with clients for personalized care Storytelling as a marketing tool Preserving business culture through growth Main Takeaway: Our systems and automations should support our care, not replace our presence. In an increasingly digital world, it's easy to lean on automation—but pet care is about connection. Technology should free us to be more present, not less. No app or email can replace the power of a kind word, a gentle touch, or an observant sitter who notices what a pet needs. Stay grounded in the heart of what makes your business special: genuine, hands-on care. That's what clients remember—and why they come back.
