Working with MESA Lab, a regime-backed research lab, Geedge is reportedly building behavioral profiles of individuals based on their social media, location data, telecommunications, and online activity. AI models could then sift through profiles and spotlight those who might be a political risk. There is no evidence the technology is finalized or deployed, but if deployed, China's surveillance system could become a tool to chill dissent before it ever begins.

On a sunny Sunday, I set out to walk Rob's five-mile route at an easy pace, enjoying the busy atmosphere around Lambrick Park with cyclists, soccer games, baseball, and the summer market. I reflected on a trip the day before to visit my friend Derek and see a Spielberg movie, though missing a bus turned part of the journey into a five-kilometre walk. The route took me through neighbourhoods and along the waterfront, where I enjoyed views of the Gulf Islands, distant mountains, ships, and an exceptionally low tide. Along the way, I shared thoughts about e-bike rentals, the movie, and my preference for keeping these recordings relaxed and unscripted. By the time I reached the final climb home, I had nearly completed my workout goals and was looking forward to an afternoon of cooking and a run the next day.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-running-jackal--500980/support.

The Writer Files: Writing, Productivity, Creativity, and Neuroscience
Acclaimed debut author Darby Bozeman spoke with us about her journey from middle school English teacher to published author, and her debut thriller, SUMMER'S NEVER OVER. Darby Bozeman, originally from Portland, Oregon, relocated to the American South for graduate school, earning a master's degree in teaching from the University of Georgia. Before pivoting to full-time writing, she spent five years as a middle school English teacher. Her dual-timeline debut thriller, Summer's Never Over (Berkley Trade Original; on sale June 9, 2026), is described as We Were Liars meets God of the Woods, and is set at a summer camp where a counselor died in a suspicious fire five years prior. The book was recently chosen as a June selection for the Book of the Month Club. Publishers Weekly called it an “Impressive debut…an addictive thriller ideal for summer reading.” Bestselling author Ashley Winstead wrote, "Darby Bozeman has the perfect beach read in this sinister summer camp thriller, where the paradisical woods of Dread's Cove hide not only hot bodies and cold waters, but dark secrets.” [Discover The Writer Files Extra: Get 'The Writer Files' Podcast Delivered Straight to Your Inbox at writerfiles.fm] [If you're a fan of The Writer Files, please click FOLLOW to automatically see new interviews.

Masonville Cove in South Baltimore is a special place to study birds. Once a dumping ground for sediment dredged from the Baltimore Harbor, the Cove is now a popular urban wildlife refuge. Community educator and wildlife ecologist Sharon Dorsey is part of a research team that's monitoring bird populations at the refuge with a scientific technique called bird banding. It's a specialized, federally-regulated method to safely catch and release wild birds. The information gathered by bird banders is recorded in a global database. So if the banded bird is encountered again, at another station or during a different season, researchers will know that it once took refuge in Baltimore. This is Black Birders Week!

Today we're hanging out with the legendary Anjelah Johnson-Reyes. You've seen her viral "Nail Salon" bit and her iconic characters from Mad TV, but in this episode, we get into the nuts and bolts of her career and life as a mom. Anjelah shares her fascinating process for building a comedy hour, from recording every set to "cut the fat" to the daunting anxiety of starting a project from scratch. We dive into her self-produced special, Ugly Baby, and how she "sleuthed" her own audio archives to find the perfect family footage. Beyond the stage, we talk about her husband Manuel's "resplendent" hair and her daughter Rosie's hilarious two-year-old sass. Most importantly, Anjelah offers a powerful perspective on parenting: Your child isn't "giving you a hard time," they're going through a hard time. Watch Angela's New Special, Ugly Baby, HERE!

The Cove Pro offers hybrid adaptive ANC with up to 56dB of noise cancellation across five adjustable modes, a 7-microphone array for call clarity, and 40mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers for balanced audio.

This week we tell the strange and little-known story of the Mountain Cove Community, a spiritualist commune founded in the mountains of what's now West Virginia in the early 1850s.Led by Reverends Thomas Lake Harris and James L. Scott, the group believed they could communicate with spirits, build a new Eden in Appalachia, and create a perfect society apart from the corruption of the outside world. But as power, prophecy, and control grew inside the community, Mountain Cove began to unravel.If you enjoy Appalachian history and folklore, be sure to subscribe to the Stories podcast.Thanks for listening!
Chef and Cove owner Flynn McGarry joins Mixed Signals to talk about what it's like to navigate food media.

Today, we're hanging out with our friend Erin Napier, who is busy saving Laurel, Mississippi, one 25,000-square-foot hotel at a time. We dive into the "unfortunate" (that's code for ugly) projects and the heart behind her latest restoration, The Heirloom, which survived a "devastating" fire just weeks before opening. Erin spills the tea on her first year as a homeschooling mom—turns out it only takes two hours a day, leaving plenty of time for her daughter to job-shadow a vet. We also discuss her strict "no-weekend-work" policy and why Ben is a nearly perfect husband, despite his chaotic habit of leaving every single cabinet door open. From air-conditioned mattresses to dodging a massive Great Pyrenees puppy at the breakfast table, Erin reminds us that—no matter what the world says—not everything is an emergency. Come for the design tips, stay for the wisdom on building a life, not just a brand.

Great Benefits Nobody Knows About Are Wasted Benefits The biggest failure in corporate benefits isn't a weak package — it's a strong package that employees can't find or don't understand. Navigation is the missing layer. If an employee can't get a real-time answer to "my knee hurts, what do I do," they'll go to the emergency room, every time. 2. Healthcare Navigation Is the Next Essential Platform Layer Jon's view from 20 years in-house: the employers who are winning aren't just offering more benefits, they're offering smarter access to what they already have. A platform that speaks plain English, routes employees to the right care, and answers questions in real time is increasingly non-negotiable. 3. Site-of-Care Redirection Saves Real Money for Everyone Emergency room copays for an ear infection versus urgent care or telemedicine — the difference is significant for both the employee and the employer. Navigation platforms that help employees understand their options and redirect care appropriately are one of the clearest ROI plays in the benefits stack. 4. ROI Models Don't Always Capture the Full Picture Jon's GLP-1 example is a sharp one: the short-term cost data on weight-loss medications looks difficult, but the downstream impact on joint health, blood pressure, cholesterol, and energy is real and compounding. Sometimes the right benefits decision requires setting the spreadsheet aside and taking a bigger picture view of what it means to help someone get healthier. 5. Stop Keeping Your Benefits a Secret For years, many employers treated their benefits as proprietary information — worried that competitors would copy them. That era is ending. The companies winning on talent are putting their lifestyle support benefits front and center in offer letters, career pages, and recruitment conversations. If you spent the money, get the credit. 6. Real Stories Drive Benefits Utilization More Than Bullet Points Jon's open enrollment philosophy from nearly two decades of in-house experience: the most effective benefits communication isn't a list of what you offer — it's a real story of how someone used it. Personal examples create emotional connection and drive employees to actually take advantage of what's available to them. 7. Caregiving Benefits Reach Further Than the Employee Jon's story about using a caregiving support benefit to help his mother through a terminal illness illustrates a point that's easy to miss: when a company helps an employee navigate elder care, legal planning, or family crisis, the benefit extends to the whole family. And when families feel taken care of, employees stay. 8. On-Demand Pediatric Telemedicine Is One of the Most Underappreciated Benefits A 2 AM croup episode that stayed out of the emergency room because of a telemedicine call is worth more to a parent than almost any other benefit in the package. If you're offering this and not talking about it constantly, you're leaving impact on the table. 9. Claims-Based Personalization Is the Most Exciting AI Development in Benefits AI that proactively nudges employees toward preventive care — based on their own claims data — is moving from concept to reality. Annual physicals, colonoscopies, mammograms: catching things before they escalate is better for the employee, cheaper for the employer, and the kind of thing that makes people feel like their company genuinely cares about their health. 10. An Ounce of Prevention Is Still the Best Benefits ROI The math hasn't changed: early detection and preventive care cost a fraction of late-stage treatment. The technology has finally caught up to make personalized preventive nudges possible at scale. The employers investing here now are building a healthier, more productive workforce — and a more defensible benefits budget. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Dad Talk: Presence Over Everything Jon and Adam open with a candid conversation about working parenthood, FaceTime at 4 AM, coaching Little League, and what it means to be truly present for the moments that matter. 03:00 – Meet Jon & The Alterity Group Jon introduces himself and The Alterity Group — a third-party benefits and HR tech advisory firm helping large employers find the right vendors and maximize those relationships across their full HR technology stack. 05:30 – Where to Start: Evaluating a Benefits Package Jon's first move when assessing a company's benefits competitiveness: understand who the client is and what they're actually trying to accomplish — because retention goals look different from recruitment goals, and blue-collar needs look different from financial services. 08:00 – Total Rewards Is More Than a Salary Number How the right HR technology helps companies communicate total rewards — base, bonus, equity, benefits, and employer healthcare contributions — clearly to both candidates and current employees. 10:30 – The Utilization Problem: Great Benefits Nobody Knows About Jon's diagnosis of the biggest waste in corporate benefits: employers spend significant money on programs that employees never use, simply because nobody told them it existed. The fix isn't more benefits — it's better navigation. 13:00 – Healthcare Navigation: The One-Stop Shop The case for navigation platforms that guide employees to the right care in plain English — whether that's a musculoskeletal app for a sore knee or telemedicine for an ear infection — and why real-time answers drive better outcomes for everyone. 16:00 – Site-of-Care Redirection: The Hidden Cost Saver Why sending an employee to urgent care instead of the emergency room for an ear infection saves money for both the employer and the employee — and how navigation platforms are making smarter care routing the norm, not the exception. 19:00 – Rethinking Benefits ROI Beyond the Numbers Jon's honest take on GLP-1 benefits: the short-term cost data looks scary, but helping an employee lose 50 pounds, lower their blood pressure, and reduce joint pain is a win that doesn't always show up in a 12-month ROI model. Sometimes you have to take the bigger picture view. 22:00 – Why Companies Used to Hide Their Benefits — and Why That's Changing Jon traces the shift from employers keeping their benefits close to the vest to the current moment where leading companies are putting lifestyle support benefits front and center in offer letters and recruitment materials. 25:00 – Tell the Stories. Use Real Examples. Jon's open enrollment philosophy from 19 years of in-house experience: the most effective benefits communication uses real employee stories — not bullet points on a flyer. 27:30 – A Caregiving Benefit That Helped His Family Jon's most personal moment: how a caregiving support benefit helped his mother navigate will preparation, power of attorney, and advanced directives during a family member's terminal illness. 31:00 – The 2 AM Pediatrician Call A vivid story about the power of on-demand pediatric telemedicine: Jon's croup-prone infant, a 2 AM barking cough, and a provider who talked him through treatment — avoiding an emergency room trip entirely. 34:00 – Claims-Based Personalization: The AI Frontier in Benefits Jon's optimistic take on what's coming: AI that mines claims data to proactively nudge employees toward preventive care — annual physicals, colonoscopies, mammograms — catching things early before they become expensive and life-altering. 37:00 – An Ounce of Prevention Jon closes with the simple math behind preventive care investment: catching something early is almost always cheaper and better for the employee than treating it late.
This summer marks the 250th anniversary of America's founding as nation, born in a successful rebellion from the British crown. Events and politics tell us one tale, but textiles always give us another view. Much of the textile history of America is deeply painful – a story of enslavement and hardship in Victorian mills and garment sweatshops. But there is another side to this, because creating textiles for the home has always involved community, and throughout the two and half centuries America has been in existence, quilting, knitting, sewing and mending have been deeply social activities. This episode of Haptic & Hue is about one group of people who designed and made craft textiles at a particular moment in America's history. The Folly Cove Designers came from a little-known area of Massachusetts. They had no professional qualifications and they were taught around a kitchen table by one woman. For nearly thirty years in the mid-twentieth century they formed a close creative and supportive network making work of the highest quality. Even today, over seventy years later their story has a lot to tell us about how communities help individuals shine.

Lori gets real about her 30-year marriage to Gene, their legendary four-degree thermostat war, and her self-described "underwhelming" mom status. From failing at selling Tupperware to writing hits for Taylor Swift, she shares how she won the lottery without ever buying a ticket.

Unraveling the Threads of Change: From Photography to Global Environmental AdvocacyAcademy Award-winning director Louie Psihoyos returned to the Rising Tide Ocean Podcast for a conversation as wide-ranging and urgent as his films. Host David Helvarg sat down with Psihoyos before a live audience during SF Climate Week at the downtown San Francisco studios of KALW public radio — and the exchange didn't disappoint.Psihoyos traces his unlikely path to ocean advocacy: a kid from Iowa, drawn early to photography and the sea, who eventually landed at National Geographic — beginning, as origin stories often do, at the bottom, sifting through a garbage dig. From there he rose to become one of the most consequential documentary filmmakers working today, a man who doesn't just point a camera at environmental catastrophe but builds covert operations around it.He recounts the making of The Cove, his shattering exposé of the dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan — a film that required as much tradecraft as filmmaking — and discusses his latest work, Plastic Detox, now streaming on Netflix, which takes a hard look at microplastics and their alarming effects on human fertility.The two also range across a broader landscape: adventures, causes for concern, and — perhaps most valuably in these grinding times — reasons for optimism.It's a talk worth diving into.Additional ResourcesThe Plastic Detox — an eye-opening journey into the hidden dangers of plastic in our homes.When six couples embark on a plastic detox within their homes, it changes their families forever. This eye-opening documentary explains what microplastics and their chemicals are doing to our health and how we can take matters into our own hands.From hormone disruption that's fueling a worldwide fertility crisis, to growing rates of cancer, and early heart attack and stroke, this powerful documentary reveals the shocking science behind plastic's impact on human life.Blue Frontier / Substack — Building the solution-based citizen movement needed to protect our ocean, coasts and communities, both human and wild.Inland Ocean Coalition — Building land-to-sea stewardship - the inland voice for ocean protectionFluid Studios — Thinking radically different about the collective good, our planet, & the future.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS HERE! The legendary Sissy Goff and David Thomas join us this week. Things get off to a wild start when host Dave realizes that a woman who changed his life decades ago is actually David's sister. Once the shock wears off, the group discusses the duo's new book about raising capable kids in a world that feels increasingly fragile. They explore why today's kids are hesitant to do hard things, like getting a driver's license, and how the pandemic created a cocoon of safety. You will hear about the importance of practicing flexibility—even if it means causing a dinner table crisis by moving one seat to the left—and why parents must manage their own anxiety while watching their children struggle. From aggressive New York bagel shops to eighth-grade boys sleeping in a gas leak pose, this episode is all about trading protection for preparation.

This episode features a "PowerPod" collaboration between the fellas and the creators of the 3% podcast, Jamie and Blake. The conversation explores radical honesty, specifically the "3% concept"—the practice of sharing the final, shame-filled layer of truth that individuals typically withhold from even their closest friends. The participants discuss the transition from childhood "proximity friendships" to the foundational intentionality required to sustain deep male connections amidst the busyness of fatherhood. Drawing on therapeutic insights within the sources, they examine how children often sacrifice their authenticity for attachment, a pattern contributing to the modern loneliness epidemic. A significant focus is placed on intentional parenting, highlighting the transformative power of a father's apology. By embracing vulnerability and "killing the fourth wall" of parental perfection, fathers foster genuine connection and freedom within their families.

This week the fellas join up with former world number one tennis player and US Open champion Andy Roddick to discuss his legendary career and the transition into fatherhood. Jon is very excited! Roddick reflects on holding the world's fastest serve record, his humorous rivalry with Roger Federer, and the "light" feeling of retiring at age 30. He shares candid stories from the "School of Earth," including traveling the world alone at age twelve and why he believes parents must let their children fall sometimes to build resilience. Roddick offers profound wisdom for sports parents, emphasizing the need to "control the controllables" and sharing Andre Agassi's advice on simplifying the path to excellence. From hosting Saturday Night Live to being the "third best player" on his high school team, Roddick brings his signature wit to a conversation about discipline, legacy, and the "white-knuckling" reality of parenting.
