The Highway Trust Fund brings in roughly $45 billion a year and spends closer to $80 billion. Congress keeps the system running by borrowing the difference and moving that money into a program still treated as if road users fully fund it. Rebecca Higgins, vice president of policy at the Eno Center for Transportation, explains how the fund reached this point and why the gap keeps growing. She and Chuck examine the choices lawmakers have avoided for decades, including higher taxes, lower spending, new fees, or a smaller federal role, and what happens when highway funding begins competing with other underfunded national priorities.

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. During the Personal Rule, Charles expanded the "Ship Money" tax to inland counties, leading to a landmark legal battle over the King's right to declare emergencies without Parliament. Religious tensions peaked as Archbishop William Laud imposed high-church practices, which many saw as a "popish plot." After failing to force a new prayer book on Scotland, Charles was compelled to recall Parliament, which then executed his minister Strafford. The crisis culminated in Charles's failed attempt to arrest five MPs inside the House of Commons, forcing him to flee London to gather an army for the coming Civil War. (4)1650

Cities often spend years studying a street before making a change, only to discover that the public is reacting to plans no one has actually experienced. Krista Nightengale, executive director of Better Block, explains another approach: build a temporary version, invite people into it, gather data, and adjust what does not work. She and Chuck talk about winning over skeptical engineers, learning from residents, and making safer streets without waiting for a perfect plan. The goal is not to prove the first idea was correct, but to learn enough, quickly enough, to make the next decision better.

What do you do when the world feels unfair and you find yourself “fret-burning” with anger? In this message, we explore the wisdom of Psalm 37—not as a transactional set of rules, but as a roadmap for finding composure, delight, and hope in the midst of life's messiness.While many read the Psalms looking for guarantees, they are actually poetic invitations to engage with the world honestly. When we choose to notice the goodness around us—even in the face of injustice—we can metabolize our anxiety and find a way back to the source of our strength.In this sermon, we discuss:• The Difference Between Fret and Delight: How to stop "setting yourself on fire" with anger and practice intentional delight.• Moving Beyond Transactional Spirituality: Why the Psalms don't offer a simple "if/then" contract with God, but a way to walk through life's highs and lows.• The Power of First-Person Awe: How sharing our experiences of wonder helps us face threats and find meaning in hard seasons.• Guarding the Good: Wisdom isn't just about what we know; it's about how we act on the goodness we see in the world.Whether you are navigating burnout, doubt, or the search for deeper meaning, these verses offer a way to stay anchored in the truth that God is our ultimate stronghold. ★ Support this podcast ★

 Halifax Part 1 of 2  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast.  Find my book series on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Halifax,  Nova Scotia, Canada. Part 1 of 2 Eastern Canada is understated. This episode is about what I actually did there in August 2025, as a solo woman traveler. Halifax surprised me. It is a harbor city, a university city, a military city, a cruise-ship city, and a place where history seems to rise from the water. One of the first things I noticed is that Halifax is surrounded by water. The harbor is not just scenery. It is part of the city's identity. Ships, ferries, kayaks, cruise passengers, navy vessels, and waterfront walkers all share the same sense of place. So I walked, I spent a lot of time along the waterfront. There was music, people eating outside, and a lively summer feeling. I was there around August 4, which was a holiday, and I ate poutine at the buskers' event. Poutine was new to me. It is French fries with cheese curds and gravy, topped with ketchup. It was a different flavor for me, and that is part of travel: trying something even when you are not sure it will become your favorite. Halifax has a strong maritime history, and I visited the Maritime Museum. That was one of the highlights. I learned more about the Halifax Explosion of December 6, 1917, when two ships collided in the harbor. The explosion was enormous — often described as the world's largest pre-atomic explosion. I heard that the anchor landed miles away, the water was displaced, and a tsunami followed. The next day, there was a blizzard. That story stayed with me because it showed how much tragedy this city has survived. The Maritime Museum also connects you to other parts of Halifax history, including shipyards, dockyards, and the city's role as a port. If you are a first-time visitor, this is a good place to start because it helps you understand why Halifax matters. Immigration museum https://pier21.ca/ Look up your family history here, including whether you have US relatives. It had a 15-minute wait, but it was free. I also visited the Citadel, up on the hill. I spent about two hours there learning about the military and cultural changes in the area. It was informative, and I am glad I made the climb. Halifax has hills, so wear good walking shoes. You may think you are just going "up the hill to the museum," but your legs will know you are in a real city with elevation. Another special experience was my kayak tour around St. George's Island. It was a two-and-a-half-hour tour, and we learned about tunnels and armaments from the time when the British were responsible for the harbor's defense and security. It was expensive, but I was really glad I did it. Sometimes a higher-cost experience is worth it because it gives you a memory you would not get any other way. I also made time for beauty and quiet. I took bus number 1 to the Public Gardens, and they were beautiful. The main gate is near South Park Street and Spring Garden Road. That area is a good part of the city to explore. I wandered, took buses, and let myself explore different parts of Halifax rather than staying in just one tourist zone. One morning, I went swimming at the Centennial Pool at 8:30 AM. The water was chilly, but not freezing, and I swam for about 45 minutes. It felt fantastic. I love finding ordinary things in a new city — a public pool, a bus route, a grocery store, a coffee shop — because those places help me feel less like a tourist and more like a temporary resident. I noticed Tim Hortons everywhere. Strong coffee, bathrooms, and big business. For a traveler, especially one moving around by bus, knowing where you can get coffee and find a bathroom matters. I rode public buses and appreciated that they announced the next street before arriving. That was helpful when I was trying to figure out where I was going. At one point, I jumped on a 10C bus, not completely sure where it was going, but I was on South Park Street and Spring Garden Road and seeing more of Halifax. That is one of my travel styles: I like to wander, but I also pay attention. I passed St. Mary's University, Dalhousie University, Gorsebrook Park on Inglis Street, and other neighborhoods. Halifax has a strong student presence, which gives parts of the city energy. Quinpool Road felt like a main drag for shops. I also hopped at the Mic Mac Mall. I went to the Art Gallery, where Maud Lewis's paintings are an important draw. I saw Point Pleasant Park, one of my favorite parts of the city, especially around Young Avenue. Halifax has one gated street with six houses on the ocean, and that area felt peaceful and special. Point Pleasant Park also carries reminders of storms and resilience. I heard about a hurricane in 2010 that downed a huge number of trees. Nature is beautiful here, but also powerful. I also visited downtown Halifax, including St. Paul's Anglican Church, the city's oldest building, dating back to 1749. It is close to downtown and gives you a sense of how old Halifax is by North American standards. A few small details stayed with me. Some red traffic lights in Nova Scotia were square. The city has a Commons area for winter skating at the Emera Oval. There is an armory, the Scotiabank Center for events, cruise ships at the harbor, Irving gas stations, and a pretty waterfront at night. I even saw or heard about Theodore the Tugboat, which brought a lighter, cheerful side to the harbor. My food experiences included fish and chips, scallops, clams, poutine, and outdoor eating. I remember Olive and Rudy, scallops and clams, and the pleasure of eating outside when the weather is right. Halifax is a good place for seafood and simple travel meals. One day, I had a ham sandwich, an apple, a pear, an orange, and toast. That helped me manage costs while spending money on experiences. My caution for listeners: someone mentioned the "Dome" neighborhood as a place with many bars and a possible recipe for a bar fight. I would say this more gently: as a solo traveler, especially at night, be aware of nightlife districts. You do not have to avoid fun, but you do need to know your surroundings. The shownote includes a link to crime mapping in Halifax. https://www.halifax.ca/safety-security/police/crime-mapping   My mistake for this episode: assuming Halifax would be only a small waterfront stop. It was much more layered than that. My lesson: Halifax is not just a pretty Canadian harbor. It is a city of resilience, history, students, seafood, public spaces, and water views. Next up will be Part 2 of 2 on Halifax.    Travel Mistakes  My mistake for this episode: assuming Halifax would be only a small waterfront stop. It was much more layered than that. My travel tip: take the buses, walk the waterfront, and do at least one water-based experience — a ferry, harbor cruise, or kayak tour.     AI was used to select some of the suggestions for this episode.   Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news  

Modern family life offers mothers an endless supply of services meant to make isolation more manageable, but Lauren Penn began wondering why so much support had to be purchased in the first place. After a violent crash near the crosswalk her children use to get to school pushed her into local activism, she began connecting unsafe streets and missing sidewalks to the exhaustion many mothers experience while coordinating transportation, childcare and social life largely on their own. Lauren shares how books, advocacy and small experiments with her daughters changed what she thought a neighborhood could provide. A place can either force every need into another private transaction or make room for families to help one another.

"Don't cry for us KEIR STARMER: TRUTH IS WE NEVER LOVED YOU!" #KeirStarmer #JonGaunt #AnnWiddecombe # ReformUK #NigelFarage #BrokenBritain #KillList #UKPolitics With apologies to Elaine Paige and Andrew Lloyd Webber, but as England faces our old enemy Argentina in the World Cup today, it seems the perfect time to reflect on the fall of Keir Starmer. The truth is, the British people never truly warmed to this man. Between the "Dalek" delivery and the charisma of a paper bag, he has remained fundamentally out of touch. It was sickening to witness him today, still in total denial, actually claiming he has left the UK in a better place than he found it! While the Commons engaged in a sick pantomime of back-slapping and "in-jokes," they ignored the dreadful reality of the country. In a week where Ann Widdecombe has been assassinated, our nation has never been more divided. Now, chilling details are emerging from a Zia Yusuf emergency press conference about a "kill list" targeting other Reform politicians. How have we reached a state where there is such visceral hate toward politicians on the right? Starmer, his party, and their supporters in the mainstream press have spent years fuelling this fire. Today should not have been a celebratory swan song. Starmer should have proposed that the Commons sit for another week to address the consequences of Ann's murder and demand answers on how the "broken Britain" he leaves behind will actually be fixed. With Nigel Farage now facing ten death threats a day, democracy itself is under attack. It's time for the truth. Join in and give me your views. #KeirStarmer #JonGaunt #AnnWiddecombe #ZiaYusuf #ReformUK #NigelFarage #BrokenBritain #KillList #UKPolitics #PoliticalViolence #DemocracyUnderAttack #MainstreamMediaHate #EnglandVsArgentina #WorldCup #DalekStarmer Keir Starmer, Jon Gaunt, Ann Widdecombe, Zia Yusuf, Reform UK, Nigel Farage, Broken Britain, Kill List, UK Politics, Political Violence, Democracy Under Attack, Mainstream Media Hate, England vs Argentina, World Cup, Dalek Starmer This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Britain has passed landmark legislation aimed at preventing state cover-ups and improving accountability after public disasters. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who promised to bring in the law during his 2024 election campaign, opened the debate on the bill in the Commons in one of his final acts as leader. The bill was inspired and named after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 when 96 Liverpool fans were killed in a crowd crush.

Cities regularly ask residents for feedback, especially when budgets tighten or difficult tradeoffs approach. Norm and Mary Kate Norton look at what changes when people respond as an organized group instead of a collection of individual voices. They trace how Local Conversations grow from first meetings and small projects into groups that can communicate clearly, build relationships with public officials and take part in larger policy fights. A good idea may open the door, but organized local support gives it a better chance of surviving the meeting, carrying into the next discussion and becoming something the city can't easily set aside.

Putting a route near every community sounds fair until the buses only arrive once an hour. Jarrett Walker, author of Human Transit and principal of the firm helping Des Moines rethink its bus network, explains why cities cannot maximize frequency, coverage, and affordability at the same time. In Des Moines, the tradeoff comes with a 10% service cut, long waits, indirect routes, and streets that make some bus stops difficult or dangerous to reach. To understand whether the system is useful enough for people to actually rely on it, Walker asks a more revealing question: how much of the city can someone reach within a reasonable amount of time?

Richie is joined by Tony Gosling and Marilyn Hawes. Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe after "new information and evidence" came to light, officers have said. A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday, has now been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Speaking in the House of Commons on Monday, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood confirmed the suspect was not known to the government's Prevent anti-terror scheme. Widdecombe, a 78-year-old former Conservative minister turned Reform UK spokeswoman, was found dead at her home in Devon, having sustained serious injuries. To discuss this and more, Richie is joined by the writer and broadcaster, Tony Goslinghttps://politicsthisweek.gn.apc.org/Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is to set out the legal steps she will take to deport the freed ringleader of a Rochdale grooming gang. Shabir Ahmed, jailed for 22 years in 2012 for multiple counts of child sexual offences including rape, was released from prison on licence earlier this month. Calls have mounted across the political spectrum for the deportation of Ahmed, who was stripped of his British citizenship following his conviction, leaving him with only Pakistani nationality. But he cannot be deported due to a 1971 law that forbids the removal of a small group of Commonwealth citizens who arrived in the UK more than 50 years ago. To discuss this Richie is joined by Marilyn Hawes. Marilyn is a former teacher who campaigns tirelessly to educate children, parents and teachers on how to protect kids from groomers. https://freedom-abuse.org/

After Ann Widdecombe's murder, Reform UK has criticised the Commons speaker, Lindsay Hoyle and suggested its MPs are not given enough security. Pippa Crerar tells Kiran Stacey what Hoyle's team have been telling her. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/politicspod

What does it mean to trust God when there are still very real reasons to be afraid?Psalm 46 doesn't promise a life without chaos. Instead, it points to the presence of God—our refuge and strength—within our complicated histories, uncertain futures, and present moments.In this message, Alexandra explores how remembering, hope, creativity, mindfulness, and nonviolence can make us more aware of the God who is as close as our breath.“The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” — Psalm 46:11#Psalm46 #BeStill #ChristianSermon #Faith #GodsPresence ★ Support this podcast ★

For our cultural predictions roundup back in January, the musician and technologist Trevor McFedries predicted that 2026 was going to be a really good year—professionally speaking—for people with good taste. The jury's still out, but it's definitely turning into a big year for talking about taste. And for the first time in history, the tech world seems to be leading the charge, from engineers penning essays about how “personal taste” is the new moat, to startups promising us more aesthetically discerning AI, to the Palantir chore coat and tech billionaires sitting front row at Fashion Week.To make sense of why taste has become such a Silicon Valley buzzword—and what that tells us about the changing meaning and role of taste more broadly–we brought on Drew Austin, a writer and urban planner who runs the excellent Substack, Kneeling Bus, where he recently penned a piece called “Tastecore and the Enclosure of the Commons.” We discuss Drew's research on the tech world's changing relationship to fashion in the post-pandemic era, the growing epidemic of “tasteslop,” and how the current discourse frames taste as something less about personal distinction and more about gaining a competitive edge. Plus, we tap Pierre Bourdieu to try to parse the evolving function of taste in society over time—and what the tech industry's taste obsession can tell us about the shifting landscape of class and class antagonism.Follow Drew at Kneeling Bus on Substack.Read Drew on taste:“Tastecore and the enclosure of the commons”“Worn out: Tech elites' supposed indifference to fashion is a contempt for the commons” (Real Life)“Here comes a regular: Taste is obsolete & gatekeeping is code for what the internet took from us”“Bots in the beerlight: Sometimes embodiment is all you've really got”“Lo-fi beats for studying: How to push more through the human attention bottleneck”Additional references:“Taste is Eating Silicon Valley” by Anu Atluru (Working Theories)“Personal Taste is the Moat” by Wang Cong“Tasteslop: Notes on technological anxiety” by Emily Segal (Nemesis) This is a public episode.

Among the topics discussed were: Prime Minister Mark Carney is defending a major shift in Canada's foreign policy after becoming the first Canadian prime minister in 26 years to visit Saudi Arabia. Despite there being seven opportunities in the coming months to get a seat at the House of Commons, NDP Leader Avi Lewis says he will not be running in the byelections. The first Chinese EV from an actual Chinese company under the new Canada-China tariff deal has landed in the country. How much does it cost?

Vacant commercial space can drag down a street, but Evan Snow sees something else: a chance to make room for local artists, small businesses, and community life. As co-founder of Zero Empty Spaces, Snow helps transform empty properties into affordable artist studios and cultural hubs. He explains why closed doors do not help property owners, downtowns, or neighborhoods, and why a temporary use can still give artists a lasting foothold outside the home studio. The model works because it keeps the first step small, giving artists affordable space while helping property owners show what a vacant storefront could become. Evan will also be speaking at the Civic Leader Summit in Pensacola, Florida later this year in October.

In the penultimate PMQs before the summer recess, Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and Shadow Housing Secretary James Cleverly face off in the Commons - but with questions hanging over Nigel Farage's future, there's surprisingly little mention of the Reform UK leader...Ed Vaizey is joined by Lara Spirit and Matthew Syed to unpack the exchanges from the House of Commons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.

Get ready to supercharge your TA strategy, embrace the human advantage in an AI-driven world, and discover exactly what the future of recruitment looks like.   The Human Advantage in an AI World: Grace Lordan (LSE) explores how talent leaders can leverage AI, inclusion, and better decision-making to drive true performance rather than just processing efficiency.   From Recruiter to Talent Architect: A powerhouse panel featuring leaders from Amazon, EY, and Booking.com discusses the evolution of the recruiter role as AI absorbs operational tasks, shifting the focus to high-value, human-centric strategy.   The AI-Adjusted EVP: Joanna Hackett (Howden) reveals how forward-thinking organisations are evolving their Employee Value Propositions to focus on reskilling, internal mobility, and long-term career relevance in the age of automation.   TA as a Strategic Growth Engine: Chris Tennant (Infor) and fellow TA directors from Gilead and Mars share how to fundamentally redesign the talent acquisition function to operate as a core driver of business performance.   Amazon's Strategic Business Partner Model: Beckie Longworth and the Amazon TA team reveal how they shifted from a transactional, requisition-driven service into a strategic business partner function that acts as a consistent interface for growth.   Talent Intelligence at Scale: Andrew Sinclair and Charles Rue (S&P Global) demonstrate how to build a connected workforce by turning overwhelming talent data into actionable, confident market intelligence.   The Early Careers Talent Crisis: Aisha Lysejko (2040 Leaders) and experts from Shell and Danone warn against cutting early careers investments, explaining how doing so creates a dangerous "missing middle" that cripples future leadership pipelines.   Standardised Hiring Metrics: Adrian Thomas (Walbridge) and Jonathan Berry (House of Commons) break down the UK's first standardised hiring metrics, exploring what "good" really looks like in talent acquisition benchmarking today.   Global TA Transformation at Sanofi: Lia Manafova (Sanofi) shares the healthcare giant's journey of taking back ownership of their global recruitment landscape, transitioning away from decentralized models to centralise and streamline their tech stack.   Why should you carve out time in your busy schedule to join 'The Recfest Recap 2026'? Because the recruitment landscape is shifting faster than ever, and relying on yesterday's playbooks simply won't cut it. This webinar isn't just a summary; it's your shortcut to the strategies that are actively reshaping the industry—from deploying AI without losing the human touch to transforming TA into a strategic business partner.

When Washington state asked which residents had access to frequent transit, it ran into a surprisingly basic problem: that question is hard to answer without knowing where sidewalks, crossings and curb ramps actually are. Dr. Anat Caspi, director of the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology at the University of Washington, joins the show to talk about Open Sidewalks, a project that helps communities map pedestrian infrastructure in a shared, usable format. Her team has mapped hundreds of thousands of sidewalks, and now residents can help add the local details that determine whether a route actually works in daily life.

In this episode of Hands in the Soil, we're joined by four guests - Ian and Kristina, co-founders and co-executive directors of The Farmers Land Trust, and Julian and Alita, the visionaries behind the Earthen Heart Farmland Commons in Bangor, Michigan - to talk about a hopeful and replicable model in food systems work happening right now.The conversation that unfolds in this episode is a story about what becomes possible when land is decommodified, when ownership is reimagined as stewardship, and when the right people find each other at the right moment. Julian donated his 19.9-acre Bangor farm, built over 14 years of food forests, medicinal plants, and regenerative land practices, into the Farmers Land Trust, where it became the founding property of the Earthen Heart Farmland Commons. Alita Kelly, founder of Jade Rabbit and steward of community food work across West Michigan, received a 99-year lease on that land and a seat in the ownership structure. This conversation is part origin story, part how-it-works, and part invitation to anyone sitting on land, working with land, or dreaming of a different relationship to it.Tune in to learn more about:What The Farmers Land Trust does and how the farmland commons model works, including the 501c25 legal structure that makes it possibleHow farmers who lease land through this model also get a seat in the ownership structure, and why that changes everythingJulian's 14-year journey as steward of the Earthen Heart property, what he learned, and what guided him toward donating rather than sellingWhat it felt like to ask the land for permission, and to receive an answerWhy healing on this land is inseparable from healing the relationship that communities of color have had with land in AmericaThe vision for Earthen Heart as a site of communal farming, collective living, a freedom school, and transformation through the seasonsThe honest challenges: finding pro bono legal support, aligning values among farm partners, navigating shared leadership, and building something with no mapWhy land is donated all the time (to universities, municipalities, and conservation trusts) and what it would mean to shift that culture toward working farmland and food sovereigntyThe history of the word "homesteading" and why Julian chooses to use it anyway, and the distinction between farming for sale and farming for useLiberty Hyde Bailey, Teddy Roosevelt, the Commission on Rural Life, and the moment over a century ago that set us on the path we're still trying to heal fromResources MentionedEpisode 13: Bringing Hope to the Future of Farmland with Ian McSweeneyEpisode 34: Creating a Farmland Commons with Ian McSweeneyEpisode 48: Solidarity and Community Sufficiency: Land Justice, Food Justice and True Community Empowerment with Kristina Villa et al Liberty Hyde Bailey The Homestead Act of 1862 Connect + Learn MoreThe Farmers Land Trust Website: thefarmerslandtrust.org Earthen Heart Farmland Commons Website: thefarmerslandtrust.org/commons/earthen-heart Earthen Heart Website: earthenheart.comJade Rabbit: jade-rabbit.orgWest Michigan Young Farmers Coalition: youngfarmers.orgConnect with Hannah on Instagram: @hannahkeitel

Street trees, benches, slower speeds, and beautiful proportions are often treated as extras, added only after the “real” engineering work is done. Victor Dover argues that this gets the whole assignment wrong. In this episode, he talks about the second edition of Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns and why great streets have to be designed as places, not just routes. Dover makes the case that beauty belongs in the brief from the beginning, because when a street is designed only for traffic flow, that is all it can ever really become: a place for traffic.

Alberta has formally proposed a pipeline to the southwest coast of British Columbia, in partnership with the federal government and a private company. The Globe and Mail's Stephanie Levitz and CBC's Anis Heydari join guest host Kate McKenna to discuss pipeline politics, the CUSMA deadline that came and went, and (of course!) Canada joining the Eurovision Song Contest. Plus, as the political barbecue season gets underway, The House's Jennifer Chevalier kicks off The House's summer series on food security with a documentary exploring the high cost of beef. A rancher explains why despite good cattle prices now it's hard to have confidence in the future, a chef wonders why interprovincial trade barriers make it so hard to buy local meat, and a meat packer shows us around his abattoir and explains why he's tapping into a government program that would help him ship meat to Canada's north.

Fayetteville, Arkansas, is growing fast, and housing is getting harder to build. Clark Eckels and Nathan McCloskey of Fayetteville Strong talk about Rethink the Lot, a tactical urbanism pop-up that turned downtown parking spaces into small-scale housing people could walk through. The housing and parking debate can easily get stuck in zoning language, council meetings, and abstract trade-offs, but this project gave people a physical way to understand what those rules mean on the ground. Clark and Nathan explain what residents worry about, why parking minimums matter, and what changed when people stood inside a home where a car would usually sit.

In this episode, we sit down with Elspeth Hay, Cape Cod journalist and author of Feed Us with Trees, to explore how we can solve our collective separation from nature through the power of tree crops. We dive deep into her journey from learning the “no farms, no food” mantra in childhood to the paradigm-shifting realization that our surrounding forests are actually overflowing with staple foods like acorns. Elspeth deconstructs historical narratives like the term "hunter-gatherer" and the concept of "enclosure," arguing that modern industrial farming models were built upon a violent legacy of privatizing land and erasing highly managed indigenous food systems. The conversation highlights how traditional communities managed ecological resources collectively through the "Commons" and specific cultural rituals. Finally, we discuss how local communities can reverse the "shifting baseline syndrome," her advice on cultivating ecological joy and rituals for the next generation, and her vision of a future rooted in regional food resilience and connection to community and place. Elspeth's book, Feed Us with Trees: https://newsociety.com/book/feed-us-with-trees Timestamps [00:00] Intro - Acorns are a human food![03:09] Reflecting on a childhood feeling of being separate from the natural world.[10:51] Deconstructing the term "hunter-gatherer" and rethinking evolutionary food stories.[12:22] Learning about traditional indigenous forest management and the sophisticated uses of cultural fire.[19:56] Explaining the violent legacy of the historical "enclosure" movement and land privatization.[34:40] Analyzing how the intentional destruction of indigenous food systems won historical wars.[45:32] Parallels between changing Cape Cod fisheries and regional nut co-op resilience networks.[49:57] Replacing the concept of "nature" with the "living world" through the lens of fire-dependent Oak Savannas.[59:26] Exploring the deeply embedded concept of the Commons versus modern private property.[1:10:09] Painting a picture of a thriving utopian future driven by rural ecosystem tending and food networks.[1:19:31] The technical mechanics of processing water-soluble bitter tannins for acorn flour and oils.[1:44:52] Rapid-fire questions on formative books, career advice, empathy, and weaving willow basketsSponsorsDubois Agrinovation: Get 10% off by choosing the promo code ‘MasterClass – Jean-Martin Fortier' when you create an account.

Hugh Linehan is joined by Alex Kane to discuss the double life of disgraced politician Jeffrey Donaldosn and its broader impact on the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) as well as Ulster unionism overall. Alex Kane is an Irish News columnist and a political commentator as well as a former director of communications for the Ulster Unionist Party. The pair discuss a recent wave of stories that reveal the hypocritical behaviour of self-professed christian Donaldson over the course of his career; from projectile vomiting on the Mayor of Beijing to swigging from a wine bottle in the House of Commons and being spotted entering a gay sauna. Kane says it seems as if no one in the DUP attempted to address this highly inappropriate behaviour. He also highlights a growing conspiracy theory among unionists who believe the British government may have used this information to blackmail Donaldson to return to the Northern Ireland Assembly. In today's episode, they discuss what all of this spells for the future of unionism in Ulster. Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

In New York City, the average rent is $4,700 a month and climbing. Over 500,000 housing violations are on file in the city, but the government database where they live is so outdated that most renters never see them. Farid Sofiyev, a sophomore and co-founder of Civic Reset NYC, built an interactive map of 40,000 of those violations and published the names of the 25 worst landlords in the city. This episode gets into how the map works, what the data reveals about NYC's rent crisis, and the zoning choices that got the city there.

Pedestrian deaths have climbed sharply since 2009, yet transportation agencies often point to small, recent dips as proof that things are getting better. Beth Osborne, president and CEO of Smart Growth America, returns to the Strong Towns Podcast to talk about the latest Dangerous by Design report and the choices that keep making American roads so deadly. She and Chuck dig into why state-owned roads are especially dangerous, how street design shapes driver behavior, and why blaming pedestrians or waiting for automated vehicles keeps the focus away from the roads themselves. The big question is this: when will we stop treating roadway deaths as the cost of getting around and start changing the roads that make them predictable?

In July of 1777, gunshots rang out over Philadelphia. At first glance, this may not be surprising, as America was still in the throes of the Revolutionary War. But it was not the redcoats who were firing that night. It was Americans, celebrating the very first anniversary of their independence. The edition fo the Philadelphia Evening Post, published on July 15 1777 described the celebration thus:  Yesterday the 4th of July, being the anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America, was celebrated in this city with demonstrations of joy and festivity. About noon all the armed ships and gallies in the river were drawn up before the city, dressed in the gayest manner, with the colors of the United States and streamers displayed. At one o'clock, the yards being properly manned, they began the celebration of the day by a discharge of thirteen cannon from each of the ships, and one from each of the thirteen gallies, in honor of the Thirteen United States … The evening was closed with the ringing of bells, and at night there was a grand exhibition of fireworks (which began and concluded with thirteen rockets) on the Commons, and the city was beautifully illuminated. Next month, our nation will celebrate the 250th anniversary of Independence. While our struggles have changed, our civic and spiritual heritage has not. I invited Brenda Hafera, the Assistant Director for the Simon Center for American Studies, to share some thoughts about Independence Day and what we are doing this Fourth of July to keep the American dream alive.    Email us with thoughts, questions, or suggestions: HeritageExplains@heritage.org   Heritage Guide to Historic Sites: https://historicsites.heritage.org/ American Founders: https://www.heritage.org/american-founders More by Brenda Hafera: https://www.heritage.org/staff/brenda-hafera  

Strong Towns has always warned cities about the danger of fragile growth. Now, Chuck is applying that same lesson to the movement he helped build. In this episode, Chuck explains why Strong Towns can no longer depend on everything landing on his desk, and introduces the organization's new Executive Director. His guest shares how he found Strong Towns as a Sandpoint city council member, his organizing work in Idaho and at the League of Conservation Voters, and why he finally decided he had to be inside the organization, not just on the board. Together, they talk about culture, management, local conversations, and the kind of leadership Strong Towns needs for its next phase.
