Send a text“Busy” is one of the most dangerous words in medicine.It sounds positive. Reassuring, even. When a practice is busy, it feels productive. Schedules are full. Phones are ringing. The waiting room is packed. From the outside—and often from the inside—it looks like success.But over the years, we've seen something very different play out behind the scenes.Some of the busiest practices we work with are also the most fragile. Margins are thin. Physicians are exhausted. Cash flow feels unpredictable. Decision-making becomes reactive. And despite all that activity, there's a quiet sense that the practice isn't as healthy as it should be.That's because “busyness” is not the same thing as sustainability.Today, we're talking about the numbers that reveal whether your practice is actually healthy. Not just productive. Not just active. But resilient, stable, and built to last.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

News, Government approves extension of special long-term residence for Ukrainian refugees, Non-alcoholic beer: A healthy sip of the golden brew in Dry February, Prague as a hub? What the Epstein files reveal about Czech connections

In 2026, we're witnessing a fascinating transformation in how we engage with the world around us. The digital age has brought us countless conveniences but also digital fatigue, particularly among younger generations. This year, it seems we're saying goodbye, at least for now, to endless scrolling and saying hello to a resurgence of offline experiences.Let's start with the fashion scene. Remember those bold styles from the 1990s? They're making a grand comeback. Designers like Balenciaga, Valentino, and Saint Laurent are rediscovering the glory of animal print bags, slouchy suiting, and faux-fur detail jackets. It's as if a time machine dropped us back into the vibrant streets of the '90s, where every outfit told a story. The bandeau tops and waist belts are not just trends; they symbolize a playful rebellion against the stifling aesthetics of today's overly polished online presence.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex-and-dating--5052038/support.

News, Government approves extension of special long-term residence for Ukrainian refugees, Non-alcoholic beer: A healthy sip of the golden brew in Dry February, Prague as a hub? What the Epstein files reveal about Czech connections

n 2026, the dating landscape is transforming, prioritizing authentic connections over the superficial interactions of the past. This shift reflects what many singles truly desire: sincere relationships and clear communication right from the start.One of the most interesting trends emerging is what's called 'clear-coding,' or 'hot-take dating.' Imagine going on a date where, instead of playing guessing games, you and your date openly share your intentions and beliefs. Singles are tired of ambiguity, and they're ready to lead with their personal views upfront. This straightforward approach allows people to align their values early on. Plus, 64% of young daters believe emotional honesty is what dating needs most. It's about cutting through the noise and getting to what really matters.Then there's the rise of what we're calling 'Friendfluence.' Now, this is a fascinating development. A whopping 42% of singles acknowledge that their friends play a key role in shaping their romantic choices. More singles plan to go on group or double dates—37% to be exact! And seeing friends find love also brings hope; 34% of singles are inspired by their friends' successful relationships. This camaraderie really strengthens the dating experience, making it more fun and less lonely.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex-and-dating--5052038/support.

In today's episode, we're diving into some fascinating developments shaping the dating scene in 2026. One significant trend we're seeing is what's being called "Clear-Coding." Essentially, this practice encourages individuals to express their intentions and values right from the start. Imagine a world where misunderstandings about relationships are far less common, simply because people are being transparent about what they want. A recent report from Tinder revealed that 64% of daters feel that emotional honesty is essential, and 60% wish for clearer communication about intentions. This shift means fewer ambiguous situations and more genuine connections, which we can all appreciate.Another exciting trend is the rise of "Friendfluence." This term describes how our friends increasingly sway our dating decisions. In fact, around 42% of singles say their friends have a significant influence on their dating choices. This means more group outings and double dates as we seek connections within our established social circles. It's great to see friendships playing such an integral role in our romantic lives.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex-and-dating--5052038/support.

Transcript:Nl: De zon scheen fel boven de Keukenhof en kleurde de wereld in een zee van levendige tinten.En: The sun shone brightly above the Keukenhof, painting the world in a sea of vibrant hues.Nl: Maartje liep rustig door de tuinen, haar camera in de hand.En: Maartje walked leisurely through the gardens, her camera in hand.Nl: Het was vroeg in de lente, en de tulpen stonden net in volle bloei.En: It was early spring, and the tulips were just in full bloom.Nl: Sanne liep naast haar en praatte enthousiast over de verschillende soorten bloemen die ze zag.En: Sanne walked next to her, chatting excitedly about the different types of flowers she saw.Nl: "Het is gewoon prachtig hier," zei Sanne terwijl ze een dieprode tulp aanraakte.En: "It is just beautiful here," Sanne said as she touched a deep-red tulip.Nl: "Je moet proberen deze schoonheid te vangen, Maartje."En: "You have to try to capture this beauty, Maartje."Nl: Maartje knikte, maar ze voelde zich ondanks de pracht om haar heen ietwat verloren.En: Maartje nodded, but despite the splendor around her, she felt somewhat lost.Nl: Ze wilde de perfecte foto maken die de essentie van de lente kon vastleggen.En: She wanted to take the perfect photo that could capture the essence of spring.Nl: Maar iedere keer dat ze haar camera ophief, leek ze de verbinding te verliezen met wat ze wilde vastleggen.En: But every time she lifted her camera, she seemed to lose the connection with what she wanted to capture.Nl: Terwijl ze verder wandelden, trok een plotse regendruppel haar aandacht.En: As they continued walking, a sudden raindrop caught her attention.Nl: Ze keek naar de lucht.En: She looked up at the sky.Nl: Donkere wolken verzamelden zich snel.En: Dark clouds were gathering quickly.Nl: Sanne greep Maartje's arm.En: Sanne grabbed Maartje's arm.Nl: "Laten we een schuilplaats zoeken!"En: "Let's find some shelter!"Nl: Ze renden naar een grote kastanjeboom die bescherming bood tegen de regen.En: They ran to a large chestnut tree that offered protection from the rain.Nl: Onder dezelfde boom stond een man, compleet met een notitieboekje in zijn hand.En: Under the same tree stood a man, complete with a notebook in his hand.Nl: "Hoi," zei hij met een vriendelijke glimlach terwijl hij zijn bril rechtzette.En: "Hi," he said with a friendly smile as he adjusted his glasses.Nl: "Ik ben Joris."En: "I'm Joris."Nl: "Hallo," antwoordde Maartje, enigszins verrast.En: "Hello," Maartje replied, somewhat surprised.Nl: "Ik ben Maartje, en dit is mijn vriendin Sanne."En: "I'm Maartje, and this is my friend Sanne."Nl: Sanne knikte en wees naar de bloemen om hen heen.En: Sanne nodded and pointed to the flowers around them.Nl: "Wat brengt jou hierheen, Joris?"En: "What brings you here, Joris?"Nl: "Ik ben horticulteur," zei Joris trots.En: "I'm a horticulturist," said Joris proudly.Nl: "Ik bestudeer tulpen.En: "I study tulips.Nl: Ze zijn echt fascinerend, vind je niet?"En: They are really fascinating, don't you think?"Nl: Door zijn enthousiasme voelde Maartje iets in zichzelf ontwaken.En: Through his enthusiasm, Maartje felt something awaken within herself.Nl: Ze glimlachte.En: She smiled.Nl: "Ja, ze zijn prachtig.En: "Yes, they are beautiful.Nl: Al vind ik het soms moeilijk om dat vast te leggen met mijn camera."En: Although I sometimes find it difficult to capture that with my camera."Nl: Joris keek geïnteresseerd.En: Joris looked interested.Nl: "Fotografie, juist?En: "Photography, right?Nl: Hoe mooi.En: How wonderful.Nl: Misschien kunnen we onze passies combineren."En: Maybe we can combine our passions."Nl: De regen viel nu genadeloos, maar onder de boom was het gezellig en droog.En: The rain now fell mercilessly, but under the tree, it was cozy and dry.Nl: Joris en Maartje spraken en lachten, en hun gesprekken vloeiden moeiteloos over bloemen, fotografie en hoe natuur hen beiden inspireerde.En: Joris and Maartje talked and laughed, and their conversations flowed effortlessly over flowers, photography, and how nature inspired them both.Nl: Toen de regen eindelijk stopte en de zon weer doorbrak, schaamde Sanne zich een beetje dat ze hen moest onderbreken.En: When the rain finally stopped and the sun broke through again, Sanne felt a bit embarrassed to have to interrupt them.Nl: "Laten we verder gaan, meiden?"En: "Shall we continue, ladies?"Nl: Maartje keek naar Joris met een glimlach.En: Maartje looked at Joris with a smile.Nl: "Zullen we samen de tuinen verder ontdekken?"En: "Shall we explore the gardens together?"Nl: Joris knikte enthousiast.En: Joris nodded enthusiastically.Nl: "Graag.En: "I'd love to.Nl: Misschien kunnen we ook eens afspreken voor een project.En: Maybe we can also arrange to meet up for a project.Nl: Tulpen vastleggen door de seizoenen heen?"En: Capturing tulips through the seasons?"Nl: Maartje voelde weer een sprankel van inspiratie en hoop.En: Maartje felt a spark of inspiration and hope again.Nl: Ze realiseerde zich dat haar passie gedeeld kon worden, dat het haar niet hoefde te isoleren.En: She realized that her passion could be shared, that it didn't have to isolate her.Nl: Samen met Joris wandelend door de kleurrijke paden van Keukenhof voelde ze eindelijk de verbinding waarnaar ze verlangde.En: Walking with Joris through the colorful paths of the Keukenhof, she finally felt the connection she longed for.Nl: En zo begon een nieuw hoofdstuk, niet alleen in Maartje's kunst, maar ook in haar leven, vol beloftes van bloei en samenwerking.En: And so, a new chapter began, not only in Maartje's art but also in her life, full of promises of growth and collaboration.

Was Jimi Hendrix simply one of the greatest musicians in history — or was he exploring realms of perception that intersect with the paranormal?Wayne & Michelle welcome Jimy Bleu for a thought-provoking discussion on Hendrix's relationship to consciousness, creativity, and the unexplained. From the psychedelic era's search for expanded awareness to modern questions about vibration, perception, and UFO phenomena, this episode explores how music may connect to realities beyond the physical world.This is a conversation about art, mystery, and the possibility that inspiration sometimes comes from places we don't yet understand.Jimy's websites:https://www.newdivinitysfc.com/https://kisstheskytribute.com/index.htmlCHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE:https://michiganufopodcast.netlify.app/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjUTzsRX5rBq9_r7_YtaEJg/join*******************************************************Our Links: https://linktr.ee/mi.ufo.podcastPaypal: Donate via paypal: https://paypal.me/miufo

Send a textEp 274---, UK Reality Diamon Freddie joins me for the first part of the show to do a deep dive patreons have been begging for — tying together the Epstein files, Russian oligarch murders, and the original Ladies of London cast, just as Bravo announces the reboot premiering March 5th. We start with Annabelle Neilson, the Alexander McQueen muse and ex-wife of Nathaniel Rothschild, who appears in the Lolita Express flight logs and was a direct rival to Ghislaine Maxwell — until a warning email Ghislaine sent about her surfaced in the files. We get into Annabelle's devastating assault in Australia as a teenager by a man who went on to kill other women, and how she, Naomi Campbell, and Ghislaine formed a trio doing something very specific for Epstein involving young models. Then we go deep on Noelle Reno and Scot Young, found impaled on a fence in a "suicide" — but wait until you hear about the Project Moscow scheme, how Putin allegedly stole hundreds of millions from oligarchs, and how EVERY member of Scot's social group ended up dead. A Novichok poison threat Noelle received years later changes everything. Caroline Stanbury dated Prince Andrew right after Fergie — and may have been brought into this circle by Ghislaine herself. Then Freddie walks us through the entire new cast including Lady Emma Thynn with the safari park estate and Meghan Markle drama, Mark-Francis Vandelli from Made in Chelsea, Martha Sitwell dating Charles Saatchi with connections back to the Russian deaths, Missé Beqiri whose brother was shot 10 times on Christmas Eve in a gang hit tied to Albanian drug trafficking, and the American cast members shaking up London society. After Freddie leaves, I dig into actual Epstein emails — Les Wexner's bizarre stream-of-consciousness notes, a judge ordering Wexner to testify in an Ohio abuse case, communications proving Elon Musk's SpaceX visit that he publicly denied, how Epstein's publicist got him access to Natalie Portman and Reese Witherspoon, and Ghislaine arranging for her nephew to meet these actresses. I end with something that will blow your minds — I found what I'm calling the HOLY GRAIL email, a never-published document from a respected journalist close to Epstein that lays out a blueprint of his entire operation with the biggest names involved. I'm saving it for next week — you do NOT want to miss it.Full episode only available at Dishing Drama Dana Patreon,it's only $6.00 a month, join the fun! https://www.patreon.com/cw/DishingDramaWithDanaWilkeySupport the showDana is on Cameo!Follow Dana: @Wilkey_Dana$25,000 Song - Apple Music$25,000 Song - SpotifyTo support the show and listen to full episodes, become a member on PatreonTo send Dana information, show requests and sponsorships reach out to our new email: dishingdramadana@gmail.comDana's YouTube Channel

Recentering Southeast Asia: Politics, Religion and Maritime Connections (Routledge, 2026) assesses the impact of European colonization in the late 19th and early 20th century in ‘restructuring' the shared past of India and Southeast Asia. It provides case studies that transcend colonial constructs and adopt newer approaches to understanding the shared past. The authors explore these developments through the lens of political figures like Jawaharlal Nehru (1889–1964) and re-examine themes such as the Greater India Society (1926–1959) established in Calcutta, and the role of Buddhism in post-World War II connections, as the repatriation of the mortal remains of Japanese soldiers killed in Burma (Myanmar) acquired urgency. Drawing on a diverse range of sources including archaeology, Buddhist texts, the afterlives of the Hindu temples, maritime networks, and inscriptions from Vietnam and central India, the book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of history, Buddhism, archaeology, heritage studies, cultural studies, and political history as well as South and Southeast Asian history.

Drawing on a diverse range of sources including archaeology, Buddhist texts, the afterlives of the Hindu temples, maritime networks, and inscriptions from Vietnam and central India, the book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of history, Buddhism, archaeology, heritage studies, cultural studies, and political history as well as South and Southeast Asian history.

Recentering Southeast Asia: Politics, Religion and Maritime Connections (Routledge, 2026) assesses the impact of European colonization in the late 19th and early 20th century in ‘restructuring' the shared past of India and Southeast Asia. It provides case studies that transcend colonial constructs and adopt newer approaches to understanding the shared past. The authors explore these developments through the lens of political figures like Jawaharlal Nehru (1889–1964) and re-examine themes such as the Greater India Society (1926–1959) established in Calcutta, and the role of Buddhism in post-World War II connections, as the repatriation of the mortal remains of Japanese soldiers killed in Burma (Myanmar) acquired urgency. Drawing on a diverse range of sources including archaeology, Buddhist texts, the afterlives of the Hindu temples, maritime networks, and inscriptions from Vietnam and central India, the book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of history, Buddhism, archaeology, heritage studies, cultural studies, and political history as well as South and Southeast Asian history.

true nature lovers found their paradise.Nl: Onder een van de paviljoens, die tijdelijk een toevluchtsoord boden tegen de lente regen, stond een jonge man genaamd Bram.En: Under one of the pavilions,

de regen.En: he asked hesitantly, his voice soft against the tapping of the rain.Nl: Liesbeth keek op, eerst verrast, maar al snel verscheen er een glimlach op haar gezicht.En: Liesbeth looked up, first surprised, but soon a smile appeared on her face.Nl: "Ja, ik probeer de perfecte foto te maken," antwoordde ze met enthousiasme.En: "Yes, I'm trying to take the perfect photo," she answered enthusiastically.Nl: Ze stopte even met fotograferen en liet haar camera met rust.En: She paused her photography and rested her camera.Nl: Ze vonden samen een ritme.En: They found a rhythm

een gedeeld gevoel voor schoonheid.En: They laughed at each other's passions and discovered a shared sense of beauty.Nl: De regen stopte en boven de tuin verscheen een schitterende regenboog.En: The

Keukenhof.En: They exchanged their contact details and talked about a possible new visit to the Keukenhof.Nl: Misschien zelfs samen.En: Maybe even together.Nl: Toen ze de tuinen verlieten, fluisterde de zachte wind om hen heen en de bloemen bleven getuige van hun groeiende band.En: As they left the gardens, the soft wind whispered around them and the flowers remained witnesses to their growing bond.Nl: Bram voelde zich meer op zijn gemak dan ooit tevoren en Liesbeth had haar inspiratie hervonden in de eenvoud van een betekenisvolle uitwisseling.En: Bram felt more at ease than ever before, and Liesbeth had rediscovered her inspiration in the simplicity of a meaningful exchange.Nl: Soms, bedacht Bram, kon een enkele ontmoeting het begin zijn van iets wonderlijks.En: Sometimes, Bram thought, a single encounter could be the beginning of something wonderful.Nl: En voor Liesbeth was ieder nieuw hoofdstuk de moeite waard om vast te leggen, niet alleen met haar camera, maar ook in haar hart.En: And for Liesbeth, every new chapter was worth capturing, not only with her camera but also in her heart.

This conversation with sleep specialist Sue McCabe will completely shift how you think about sleep. We talk about why sleep isn't just a nighttime problem, it's a 24-hour concern woven through every aspect of your therapy outcomes. Sue introduces her C-word framework: Comfort (finding what's "just right, right now"), Complexity, Culture, Collaboration, Community, Capacity, Connections, Communication, and Clocks. We explore the types of questions that surface the real issues underlying sleep issues before throwing behavioral strategies at families. The difference between a circadian rhythm disorder and insomnia, why knowing that a child is spending 6 hours running around the park helps you solve a sleep issue and how warm feet are essential for sleep onset (yes, your mom was right). We explore difficulties with sleep in a variety of diagnoses (CP, autism, ADHD, vision impairment, trauma history). Sue introduces the frameworks, the questions, the resources, and the lens to address sleep into your clinical sessions with confidence.

A weekly news roundup with our reporter colleagues throughout the state. First, in early 2023, Rochester City Council purchased 15 self-contained heated and cooled units to be placed in the city's only sanctioned homeless encampment, Peace Village. But three years on, Peace Village is still vacant, and those shelters now sit in snow-covered storage at a city lot on Dewey Avenue. WXXI News' investigations and City Hall reporter Gino Fanelli explains why. Then, Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado ended his primary bid against Governor Kathy Hochul this week. WNYC's Jimmy Vielkind has the latest in the race for New York State's highest position. We end the week with a nod to Valentine's Day. CITY Magazine pop culture critic Johanna Lester joins us for a look at the staying power of romantic comedies, and we take a rom-com quiz!

Daniel Coyle is the New York Times bestselling author of The Culture Code, The Talent Code, The Little Book of Talent, The Secret Race, Lance Armstrong's War, and Hardball: A Season in the Projects. Coyle, who works as an advisor to the Cleveland Guardians, lives in Cleveland, Ohio, during the school year and in Homer, Alaska, during the summer with his wife, Jen, and their four children.rnrnIn Flourish, bestselling author and leading culture expert Daniel Coyle trains his eye on the groups and people who demonstrate exceptional connectivity, presence, and dynamism. He draws on research and original reporting-taking us inside an unlikely brotherhood of thirty-three men who were trapped in a Chilean mine, a tiny Michigan deli that blossomed into a $90 million ecosystem of businesses, an inventive Dutch soccer team that revolutionized the sport as we know it, and a disconnected Paris district that remade itself into a tight-knit neighborhood-to reveal the principles and practices that ignite and sustain thriving. He finds that flourishing groups do two things: They make meaning (creating deep connections) and build community (forging a common good).

In the most recent round of Epstein file disclosures and congressional activity, a **U.S. lawmaker has publicly asserted that a woman seen in still-released photos of Prince Andrew — shown beneath or in very close proximity to him in images sourced from Jeffrey Epstein's New York residence — was a verified sex-trafficking victim connected to Epstein's network. That claim was made during a House Judiciary Committee hearing where the images were discussed, with the woman's face redacted under federal victim-protection rules; the lawmaker argued these visuals, now tied to trafficking, should have prompted legal action against Andrew at the time. Although the Department of Justice has maintained there's not enough evidence to charge Andrew and he has denied wrongdoing, the sharp political pressure and suggestion that the woman was trafficked under the federal Victims Trafficking Protection Act mark a significant escalation in public scrutiny of his ties to Epstein.Separately, police in the U.K. are now assessing new allegations stemming from the newly released Epstein documents, which include communications indicating that Andrew and Epstein continued to correspond after his 2010 conviction and that Epstein may have supplied women — some later described as trafficking victims — to him at various residences. The files also contain email exchanges that appear to corroborate the authenticity of the infamous photo with Virginia Giuffre (contradicting earlier claims by Andrew and associates that it was fake), and raise questions about Andrew's behavior after his official role as U.K. trade envoy. Buckingham Palace has stated it will support law enforcement assessments, and members of the royal family, including Prince William and Kate, have publicly expressed concern over the ongoing revelations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Woman in ex-Prince Andrew photo was Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking victimBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Jeffrey Epstein files reveal the convicted child sex offender was fascinated by magicians, and detail a years-long relationship between Epstein and David Blaine as well as an FBI investigation into alleged sexual misconduct by David Copperfield.Since the files were released by the US department of justice two weeks ago, Irish Times journalist Naomi O'Leary has been combing through the documents.It is not, she says, an easy cache to navigate, with a clunky search function and opaque filing system.However she has been able to find multiple emails which reveal a relationship between Epstein and several famous magicians including Blaine and Copperfield – after the disgraced financier had been convicted and served prison time for soliciting sex with children.O'Leary came into studio to detail her experience of searching the consistently disturbing files – so big that only a fraction of them have been excavated by journalists worldwide. She explains how sex trafficker Epstein, collector of powerful people and expert at developing transactional relationships with them, had a weird fascination with magicians.Being mentioned in the Epstein files is not an indication of wrongdoing.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan and Andrew McNair. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Do you feel truly loved? In their new book, psychology professors Harry Reis and Sonja Lyubomirsky explore the connection between love and happiness. According to their research, a key to happiness is feeling loved. They argue that the actions we usually associate with being loved, loving someone, or falling in love differ from truly feeling loved. So how can you nurture that feeling? This hour, we sit down with Reis and his University of Rochester colleague, psychology professor Bonnie Le, to explore the science of love and happiness and what it takes to feel more of both. In studio: Harry Reis, Ph.D., professor of psychology and Dean's Professor in Arts and Sciences at the University of Rochester, and co-author of "How to Feel Loved: The Five Mindsets That Get You More of What Matters Most" Bonnie Le, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychology at the University of Rochester ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

The book was awarded the French Colonial Historical Society's 2023 Alf Andrew Heggoy Prize for best book published in the preceding year dealing with the French colonial experience from 1815 to the present. Decolonizing 1968 focuses on the postcolonial relationships between France and its former colonies during the global protests of 1968. Combining multi-sited archival research with the oral histories of former activists, his research makes visible the enduring links between France and its ex-colonies at the end of formal empire. Burleigh Hendrickson an Assistant Professor in the department of French & Francophone Studies at Penn State University. A scholar of French Empire and decolonization, his research and teaching apply transnational and comparative approaches to the history of the Francophone world, with emphasis on the Maghreb and West Africa. He is also interested in cultures of protest, knowledge production, and historical claims for human dignity. He is the past recipient of Mellon research and writing fellowships from the Council for European Studies and the Social Science Research Council (IDRF), as well as a Fulbright-Hays Fellowship and the Society for French Historical Studies. More recently, he received a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award to France to carry out research on his second book project, “Losing Empire: Dignity and Indignation from the Enlightenment to the Arab Spring.” This episode was recorded on the 9th of November, 2023, with Luke Scalone, at the Centre d'Études Maghrébines à Tunis (CEhttps://www.cematmaghrib.org/MAT).

The UK's electricity grid connection queue ballooned to over a Terawatt of projects - far more than the country will ever need, creating delays for renewable energy developers trying to bring solar, wind, and battery storage online. Connections reform was designed to clear this gridlock, but delays in the process are now pushing back critical infrastructure decisions that could make or break the UK's 2030 clean energy targets.In this episode, Ed Porter speaks with Ed Birkett, New Projects Director at Low Carbon.The conversation explores the current state of connections reform, the challenges facing renewable energy developers navigating the new grid offer system, the critical role of battery storage co-location with solar projects, and why substation siting decisions have become the new bottleneck for getting clean energy projects built on time.Chapters- 00:00 - Introduction and connections reform recap- 01:44 - The 1,000GW grid queue crisis- 02:04 - Transmission versus distribution network access differences- 03:21 - Gate one and gate two grid offers explained- 04:06 - Current status of gate two notifications- 05:28 - Connection date uncertainty and timeline delays- 07:39 - September deadline for final grid offers- 09:15 - Co-location of batteries with solar projects- 11:42 - Why Ofgem removed batteries from solar schemes- 14:58 - Network capacity constraints and upgrade costs- 17:25 - Active network management and curtailment solutions- 20:33 - Distribution versus transmission network capacity planning- 23:47 - Industry response to battery removal decisions- 26:19 - The business case for solar-battery portfolios- 29:51 - Substation siting challenges and planning delays- 32:44 - National Grid's role in new infrastructure- 35:16 - Summer solar generation and negative prices- 38:16 - How solar projects price curtailment risk- 40:10 - Next steps for connections reform implementation- 42:02 - Critical path issues for 2030 delivery- 43:24 - Contrarian view: using existing networks better

Long before it was fully paved, the road that became Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica, Calif., was designated as one of the nation's original numbered highways 100 years ago. Crossing vast stretches of Native American land in places like Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona, it eventually delivered a steady stream of mobile customers to enterprising Native merchants selling everything from trinkets to fine jewelry and textiles to frybread. The signature eye-popping billboards and kitschy neon signs that defined the route are mostly gone, but a few hold-out examples of 50s road-trip culture remain. And a number of new businesses are expecting to cash in with renewed interest in an old highway.

Puerto Ricans in Western New York took in Bad Bunny's Super Bowl set with a unique perspective. They didn't just see elaborate set pieces; they saw sugar cane fields and an island's history. They saw utility poles and flickering lights, referencing Puerto Rico's notoriously shaky energy grid. They heard the sounds of family and community and positivity and resilience. Our guests discuss what it meant to them. We also talk about Bad Bunny's visit to Rochester years ago.

Judge Richard Dollinger writes about the history of birthright citizenship, and a little-known Rochester connection that goes back to the late 1800s. A Rochester native and lawyer named John Norton Pomeroy argued the first birthright case in California. He contended that a Chinese man, born in California, could not qualify for citizenship because his parents (as non-citizens) were not "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States." Pomeroy lost, and the matter was assumed to be settled for decades. But now the Trump administration wants the current Court to decide that Pomeroy was right all along — and flip birthright citizenship on its head. We discuss it with our guests. Richard A.

Sam Raimi's new survival thriller Send Help is more overtly comedic and cartoonishly violent than the other film in this week's pairing of dueling castaway duos, but those qualities are both rooted in complimentary ideas about class, gender, and power. They're also both rooted in a baseline cynicism toward humanity that informs a lot of Raimi's work, as well as our discussion of Send Help, for which we are once again joined by cultural critic and friend of the show Charles Bramesco. Then in Connections we bring 1974's Swept Away back into the discussion to see how its sexual fantasy aligns with Send Help's revenge fantasy, and how both are shaped by these films' desert (or is it deserted?) island setting. Please share your thoughts about Swept Away, Send Help, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730. Next Pairing: Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights and Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
