In this episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Rosie Torres, an undefeated fighter who truly embodies the spirit of pound-for-pound greatness. This marks our second time with Rosie, and this time, instead of welcoming her to the iLLANOiZE studio, we met her in her own element—right in the middle of the boxing ring, alongside our special guest co-host, Smash Cash Radio.During our engaging interview with the 5-0 boxer, Rosie opened up about some of her previous fights that were unfortunately canceled. She also shared invaluable insights on how she maintains both her physical and mental health to prepare for back-to-back fights. One of the key topics we discussed was the stark contrast in experience when fighting in her home state and country versus stepping into the ring in someone else's territory.Rosie revealed her ultimate goal of winning the prestigious WBC belt, highlighting the rich culture and history associated with it—a true testament to her dedication and passion for the sport. As we wrapped up our conversation, we learned that Rosie's next fight is scheduled for November 15th, 2025, at the Hammond Sportsplex & Community Center, starting at 6 PM. Don't miss this electrifying event and be sure to tune in to hear more from Rosie!--Connect With Us On Social Media ----- Instagram:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/illanoizeradio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/illanoizeradio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.facebook.com/illanoizeradio⁠⁠⁠

Anna talks with Brandon Dyce, President & CEO of the Pet Community Center in Nashville. With so many animal shelters experiencing an emergency overflow of unwanted pets, Pet Community Center's mission is to work on PREVENTIVE care for pets, including low-cost spay and neuter, vet services, vaccines and more... but work on a sliding scale. You can get your pets vaccinated there, and pay probably less than you are now. Even if you pay full price, you're supporting someone else who can't afford it, but needs to be able to take care of their pets. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Their robust services include day activity programs, residential services, and more to come. Chief Executive Officer, Kristy Chambers, joins us with more.

The Utah Uniquely Abled Machinist Program is our next bold step, training adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder to become skilled CNC machinist technicians. In partnership with the Utah Manufacturers Association, Salt Lake Community College, and the Utah MEP Alliance, we're addressing two urgent needs: the 60 to 90 percent unemployment rate among adults with autism and the shortage of CNC machinists in Utah. This 12-week program combines 300 hours of technical CNC instruction with 180 hours of job- readiness training. We go beyond training by providing personal job coaching, employer engagement, and ongoing workplace support. With an 85 percent placement rate in similar programs nationwide, we know it works. Together, we are creating careers, changing lives, and strengthening Utah's workforce. Visit Columbusserves.org for information on UUAMP and many more programs. Derek Miller: Programs like the Utah Uniquely Abled Machinist Program are transforming lives and Utah's workforce. Columbus Community Center is addressing skill shortages while strengthening our local economy and community. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.

Send Wilk a text with your feedback!From Rooftop to Roadwork: Faith, Dignity and the Walk Across America  Pastor Corey Brooks — known to many as the Rooftop Pastor — is back on Derate The Hate with a story that's nothing short of incredible. What began years ago with a bold stand on a rooftop has grown into Project Hood's 90,000-square-foot community center, now halfway complete on Chicago's South Side.This isn't just a building. It's a lifeline — with trade schools, culinary arts programs, restaurants, financial literacy training, and spaces where purpose and opportunity come alive.But Pastor Brooks isn't done yet. On September 1, 2025, he'll lace up his sneakers in Times Square and begin a Walk Across America — 3,000 miles in 365 days — to raise $25 million and finish the center debt-free.This conversation is about more than fundraising. It's about faith that moves mountains, the dignity of hard work, and the belief that every step we take can change lives.The world is a better place if we are better people. That begins with each of us as individuals. Be kind to one another. Be grateful for all you've got. Make every day the day that you want it to be!

In the heart of Old Town Winchester, the RISE (Resources. Inclusion. Support. Empowerment.) Community Center stands as a testament to the power of community, compassion, and resilience. Home to AIDS Response Effort (ARE), the organization has evolved over the past 35 years from a small group of volunteers supporting those affected by HIV/AIDS into a vibrant hub for HIV services, LGBTQ+ support, and community empowerment. In this conversation on The Valley Today with host Janet Michael, executive director Katie Vance shared the journey of the center's transformation, the challenges faced, and the profound impact it continues to have on the lives of local residents. The RISE Community Center's mission is multifaceted: it provides free and confidential HIV, STI, and Hepatitis C testing, case management, and a range of harm reduction services. Katie emphasized the importance of accessible testing, noting a recent uptick in positive cases since the pandemic and the center's ability to connect individuals to life-saving medications and support. “People can live long, healthy lives with the right resources,” she explained, dispelling persistent myths and highlighting the advances in HIV treatment. But the RISE Community Center is more than a healthcare provider—it's a safe haven and a gathering place. The center hosts a variety of support and affinity groups, from LGBTQ+ youth and seniors to hobby-based meetups like Stitch and Bitch. Its library, housed in a former bank vault, offers hundreds of books and resources for parents and individuals seeking understanding and affirmation. The center's gender-affirming closet, community garden, and volunteer-run programs further illustrate its commitment to holistic care. Katie and Janet discussed the ongoing need for volunteers and community advocacy, especially in the face of dwindling funding and persistent stigma. The center relies on donations and the dedication of its volunteers to keep its doors open and its programs running. Katie called on the community to not only support financially but also to challenge harmful language and myths, and to show up for LGBTQ+ neighbors. The conversation closed with a sobering reflection: without ARE and the RISE Community Center, many in Winchester would lose access to critical health services, support networks, and a sense of belonging. As Katie put it, “It's a human rights issue, not a political one.” The RISE Comunity Center's story is a powerful reminder that when a community comes together to care for its most vulnerable, everyone benefits—and hope truly rises.

Alex Stone-- A few weeks ago Alex told you about the sea lions that were going mentally insane because of a toxic algae bloom and were attacking humans unprovoked. Now that algae bloom has grown stretching hundreds of miles in the Pacific Ocean from Southern to Central California and it's killing sea life. Included in the deaths is an unprecedented number of dolphins. In the past week 50 dead and dying dolphins have been found in Southern California. Debris runoff from January's wildfires and fertilizers going into the ocean in that runoff are making this year's algae bloom far worse than normal. // LA Kings win Game #2 in playoffs and The Harmonica Class from the Koreatown Senior and Community Center performed the national anthem before the Los Angeles Kings' games.
