The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamo
The City of Los Angeles, in the full radiance of its civic wisdom and an ambition matched only by its bewildering infrastructure, proudly announces the inauguration of a new subway line connecting the private residence of Trixie Mattel to a long-abandoned shopping mall near MacArthur Park. Conceived without regard for ridership, urban necessity, fiscal prudence, or the travel needs of any other living person, this gleaming subterranean artery shall deliver Ms. Mattel from her front door to the silent food court with unprecedented speed, dignity, and municipal extravagance. Though this monumental achievement will benefit no commuter, neighborhood, business, or public institution whatsoever, Los Angeles takes immense pride in having finally created a transit system that works perfectly for one skinny legend.

David Kennedy was a high-flying commodity trader in the boom years of the 1980s. He was also a functioning alcoholic hiding empty bottles in the garden. His wife Anne had come close to leaving more than once. Then a chance conversation on a commuter train led David to an Alpha course, a diagnosis that gave him six months to live, and a single prayer that changed everything overnight. In this deeply honest conversation, Anne and David talk about generational cycles of addiction and loss, the moment faith broke through, and what it's meant to look back thirty years later, sober, restored, and watching their children and grandchildren carry that same faith forward.
Coverage that provides news and analysis of national issues significant to regional Australians.
Getting to work every day is something many of us take for granted. But for survivors of trauma and those navigating life after a crisis, just showing up to work or class can feel like an overwhelming feat. The financial weight of a daily commute, the isolation of sitting alone in traffic, and the mental load of managing it all can quietly chip away at a person's ability to heal, grow, and thrive.That's where Commuter Krewe comes in — and why it matters beyond the issue of traffic congestion.Listen to a great conversation LaFASA has with Kenyatta Robertson, Commuter Krewe Program Director and “CJ” Jones, Commuter Krewe's Sr. Outreach Coordinator.Note: Commuter Krewe is for EVERYONE!

The All local for Tuesday, June 16th, 2026
It was 4:25pm on a Wednesday afternoon in Taipei. Commuters, students, strangers were on board a train on the Bannan line heading west to Jiangzicui from Longshan Temple; the longest gap between any two stations on the entire Taipei Metro network. To anyone else, this detail wouldn't mean much, but Cheng Chieh had pondered over this for years. Later, he even revealed to investigators that he chose that specific stretch precisely because he knew it would give him more time. And twenty seconds after leaving the Longshan Temple station, he pulled out a knife. Passengers flooded out of the carriage when the train finally pulled into Jiangzicui, screaming for people on the platform to run. Four people were dead. Twenty-four were injured. It was the first fatal attack on the Taipei Metro since the day it opened. Cheng Chieh was only twenty-one years old. And he had been planning this attach since childhood. Part 1: We examine Cheng Chieh's troubled background and the conditions that led him to the attack in May of 2014. Part 2: We dig into the fallout following Cheng Chieh's horrific metro attack, as well as the shocking revelations uncovered during his murder trial.

In today's edition of The Update Journal, Elmo commits the most controversial act in modern sports media: hoping both NBA Finals teams have fun. That's it. That was the statement. But because this is New York, that somehow turned into a citywide emergency where people started acting like Elmo should be subpoenaed, cross-examined, and asked under oath whether he's secretly a Spurs fan. One innocent Sesame Street post went off the rails fast, and now everybody's yelling at a three-and-a-half-year-old red monster like he controls the Knicks' fourth-quarter rotations.Then, the Bears are reportedly moving from Chicago to… Hammond, Indiana? Moving to where now? Not Arlington Heights. Not some shiny stadium district with luxury boxes and a fake “entertainment village.” Hammond. A place that sounds like your GPS gave up and said, “Honestly, just pull over somewhere.” We take a look at how an NFL team goes from one of America's biggest cities to a location that feels like the answer to a question nobody asked — and whether Bears fans are supposed to be excited, confused, or just thankful parking might be easier.And in The Last Word, it's time to Finish Strong — because whether it's sports chaos, questionable relocation rumors, work, school, summer heat, or just trying to get through the week without losing your mind, the mission is the same: don't fall apart before the credits roll. We're not asking for perfection. We're asking for enough energy to cross the finish line, look alive, and pretend this was the plan the whole time.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, severe weather will bring sizzling temperatures and strong thunderstorms to New York — even offering intense enough conditions for a tornado to form, according to forecasters. Commuters could be up a creek — yet again! The problem-plagued New Jersey Transit system is readying two massive boats to ferry World Cup fans across the Hudson River to games in case of a meltdown on the rails, officials said.And in Minnesota, a man who pounded on Democratic lawmakers' doors in the middle of the night while posing as a police officer, killing the state House speaker and her husband and wounding a state senator and his wife, pleaded guilty to murder so that federal prosecutors would not seek the death penalty.
The Labour Party made its first big policy pledge ahead of November's election - a $20 weekly cap on public transport fares in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, and $10 everywhere else in the country. Reporter Matthew Theunissen visited some major transport hubs to see how it was received.

For the next set of stories to be written for Charlottesville Community Engagement, the audio versions of the previous ones must be distributed. That's the purpose of this particular edition which collects four stories from the past week with an extra one thrown in from the archive. The podcast version is also slightly different from the version that aired on WTJU at 6 a.m. on June 6, 2026.Please take a listen if you'd like a different way to experience these stories for my quest for financing the stage show seems to have stalled.In this edition:* Buckingham commuter bus operated by Jaunt tops initial prioritization list (read the story)* Charlottesville Area Transit preparing for electric buses (read the story)* The Albemarle Planning Commission endorses an effort to make it easier to build rooftop solar on entrance corridors (read the story)* Albemarle Planning Commission recommends denial of rezoning for 18-unit development (read the story on C-Ville Weekly)* One June 9, the Albemarle Planning Commission will learn about five work products to implement the Comprehensive plan. The Board of Supervisors had their review in May and this is an archive story.First shout-out: Charlottesville Jazz Fest continues this weekend!The 50th anniversary of Charlottesville's Downtown Mall is this July and kicks off with JazzFest2026, a celebration of culture and qualities of innovation, improvisation, and collaboration.There are still two days left to dip your ear and tune in. Multiple stages in the Downtown Mall area are hosting special events with outstanding artists. One way to learn what's happening is to follow the Charlottesville Jazz Society's Facebook page.Second shout-out: Cville VillageCan you drive a neighbor to a doctor's appointment?

Different underwriting reads.There is also different music underneath in the ad break. I have a lot of music I like to use that comes from a friend of mine, but only two of his compositions rotate in the radio version.If you do listen, you'll notice a couple of things. First, I use an effect on my voice when I read from something quoted. If I were doing this in a newsroom, I'd likely have colleagues do some of these voices. Earlier in the podcast I was sending copy to other people to use for this purpose, but I ended that when I began doing the research.Doing the radio show has also made me focus attention to the detail of the audio production. I wasn't thinking much about that back when every single newsletter was also a podcast. I liked being able to do that frequency.According to my records, there is only one example of a June 6 podcast before this one. Here's the one from 2023. Note that it is only about 15 minutes long.Will I still be doing this in 2029? I can't know that for certain, but I can say it is my intent to continue on as long as I can because there are many stories I want to see through.Okay. I need to get to the next set of stories!

Show Notes: In this episode of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast, Max shares his lifelong affection for ferries — the working boats that move commuters, islanders, day‑trippers, and football fans with the same steady indifference. Ferries don't pamper or preen, but they offer something better: a front‑row seat to the water and the most democratic view in travel. Whether you drive a G‑wagon or a beat‑up Volvo, everyone waits in the same line for the same ramp to drop.Max reflects on the magic of that first engine shudder as the boat pulls away from the dock, the wind on deck, and the shared horizon that briefly unites a crowd of strangers. No TSA, no overhead bins, no seat assignments — just the shoreline sliding by and the slow reveal of a destination coming into focus.This episode also explores the explosion of ferry service across New England and beyond. On Cape Cod, the Steamship Authority is preparing to open its long‑awaited new terminal in Woods Hole, a modern stone‑and‑glass gateway to Martha's Vineyard. The arrival of the M/V Monomoy marks another milestone, bringing a quieter, larger, more reliable freight vessel into service.Boston's ferry network is growing fast, with new weekend service from Lynn, expanded Winthrop and Quincy routes, and system‑wide contactless payment. The MBTA's new F‑10 line launches this June, connecting North Station to the Aquarium, the Seaport, and Logan Airport for just $2.46 each way — a rare moment of true transit progress on the waterfront.Amesbury is preparing a small‑vessel shuttle on the Merrimack River for 2026, linking its waterfront to downtown Newburyport with quick, car‑free hops designed to ease summer traffic. And in New Jersey, Seastreak is running special Hudson River trips to West Point for Army football games — a floating tailgate party complete with a bar, snacks, and big‑screen TVs.New York City is expanding too, with a brand‑new Staten Island–to–Brooklyn route, the first passenger ferry to make that crossing since 1964. Commuters are already embracing the traffic‑free ride and the chance to start and end their day on the water.Through all these stories, Max returns to the same truth: ferries are the great equalizer. Once you're on board, you're just another traveler watching the horizon. And that's why he keeps coming back.CreditsWritten and narrated by Max Hartshorne, Editor of GoNOMAD Travel.

Commuter rail is being reinvented—and at Virginia Railway Express (VRE), that shift starts with one big idea: becoming a true regional rail system.Katie Choe, CEO of VRE, joins Paul Comfort to explain how the agency is moving beyond its traditional peak-hour, commuter-focused model toward a more flexible, all-day, bi-directional network designed for today's travel patterns. At the center of that transformation is VRE's System Plan 2050, a roadmap to expand service, increase frequency, and serve a broader mix of riders—from daily commuters to evening, weekend, and recreational travelers. In this episode, Katie breaks down:What it really means to shift from commuter rail to regional rail How VRE plans to deliver a 60% increase in service by 2030 The challenge of operating on shared freight corridors—and how new capacity changes the game Why diversifying beyond federal commuters is critical to long-term growth How agencies can make incremental service improvements now, before major infrastructure is complete The conversation also highlights one of VRE's biggest differentiators: customer experience. From meeting first-time riders at the station to achieving more than 60% participation in annual rider surveys, VRE has built a level of trust that directly informs how the system evolves. With a background spanning Massport, the City of Boston, and the MBTA, Katie brings a systems-level view to the role—balancing infrastructure, operations, and rider needs as VRE navigates this transition.What's next?While major expansion is on the horizon, VRE isn't waiting. The team is already exploring extended evening service, special event trains, and new ways to attract riders in the near term—all part of the shift toward a more dynamic, regional system.CreditsHost and Producer: Paul ComfortExecutive Producer: Julie GatesProducer: Chris O'KeeffeEditor: Patrick EmileAssociate Producer: Cyndi RaskinBrand Design: Tina OlagundoyeTransit Unplugged is brought to you by Modaxo, passionate about moving the world's people.Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Modaxo Inc., its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any entities they represent (“Modaxo”).

In a press release issued April 6, AFN urged Congress to reject the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which is currently being debated in the U.S. Senate. AFN represents more than 190 tribes, along with Native corporations and nonprofits across Alaska. Leaders say the bill would require voters to present documentary proof of citizenship — such as a passport or birth certificate — in person at a designated election office in order to register for federal elections. For many Alaska Native communities, especially in rural areas, that could mean traveling long distances, often by plane, at significant cost. In the statement, AFN says, “The SAVE Act… would disenfranchise eligible voters and recreate the very barriers our communities have fought for decades to dismantle.” The organization also raised concerns about how the bill would treat Tribal identification, noting that many IDs do not include citizenship status and could require voters to obtain additional documentation. AFN says that process could take weeks and may be difficult or impossible for some community members. The group argues the legislation is unnecessary, calling it “a solution in search of a problem” and pointing out that noncitizen voting is already illegal and rare. AFN says the bill could also restrict systems widely used in Alaska, including mail-in and online voter registration. As the debate continues in Washington, tribal leaders are calling on Congress to focus instead on improving access to voting, particularly in rural communities. A federal judge has rejected a plea agreement in the case of missing Navajo elder Ella Mae Begay. Begay, a 62-year-old member of the Navajo Nation, was last seen in 2021 at her home in Sweetwater, Ariz. and has not been found. According to the Associated Press, the judge denied a proposed deal for Preston Henry Tolth, who is accused of assaulting Begay before she disappeared. Prosecutors say the agreement would have allowed Tolth to avoid additional prison time. Begay's family opposed the deal in court. Her niece, Seraphine Warren, told the judge, “Accountability is not time served… we still don't have the truth.” Advocates say the case highlights ongoing challenges in addressing missing and murdered Indigenous people across the country. Arizona drivers have lots of specialty license plates to choose from – 114 to be exact. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, the largest tribe in the Phoenix metro area is among the latest to be featured. Back in 2023, State Rep. Teresa Martinez (R-AZ) pitched letting the Gila River Indian Community design its own plate. “Lots of people will think, ‘Oh, this is just another license plate bill.' … It is a very big deal.” Because for each plate sold, $17 will be donated to the tribe's transportation committee for traffic and road improvements. Commuters regularly travel through their reservation just south of Phoenix. “Especially when the I-10 is down.” Martinez's proposal passed as part of a larger bill that included the neighboring Ak-Chin Indian Community and Pascua Yaqui Tribe. Gila River, in March, became the fifth of Arizona's 22 federally recognized tribes to print one. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.
