On the KMOJ Morning Show, Lyneir Richardson joins Freddie Bell and Chantel Sings to discuss an innovative wealth-building opportunity that could transform commercial real estate ownership in North Minneapolis. As CEO of The Chicago TREND Corporation, Richardson explains how Hawthorn Crossings Shopping Center is being positioned as Minnesota's first community co-owned shopping center, giving local residents the chance to invest in and benefit from a major neighborhood asset. He highlights the importance of expanding access to commercial property ownership, which has traditionally been concentrated among a small percentage of investors, and shares details about special matching funds available to qualifying residents who live near the shopping center. The conversation also explores why North Minneapolis is poised for growth, how community ownership can help strengthen local economies, and what interested investors need to know before the July 31 deadline to become co-owners.

Our solar system is passing through one of the spiral arms that makes the Milky Way Galaxy look like a pinwheel. But the key words there are “passing through.” The solar system moves through the galaxy a little faster than the spiral arms do. So over hundreds of millions of years, we cross all of the galaxy’s major arms. And those crossings could be dangerous. A spiral arm is a region where a passing wave squeezes giant clouds of gas and dust, triggering the birth of new stars. Many of the stars are especially hot and bright, so they light up the spiral arms. The star-forming clouds are dense and turbulent. And a recent study suggested that could be where the “danger” comes in. Researchers looked at tiny crystals in Earth’s crust. They found that the composition of the crystals varied over periods of hundreds of millions of years. During some of those periods, Earth’s crust appeared to be especially hot. And the timing of those periods may correspond to passages through the spiral arms. As we move through the dense clouds in the arms, big balls of ice and rock far from the Sun could be nudged inward. Some of them could ram into Earth, creating conditions that could account for some of the crystals. So while the Milky Way’s spiral arms may be beautiful, they may also be deadly. Look for the glowing band of the Milky Way curving across the east as night falls, and arching high overhead later on. Script by Damond Benningfield

Most marathon swimmers would overlook the critical role of mental resilience—until they're fighting waves, exhaustion, and doubt in real time. Tim Denya, an elite coach with over 250 English Channel crossings, reveals the unspoken truth: mental strength is just as vital as physical endurance in conquering ocean swims. In this episode, Tim unpacks the training secrets behind his staggering success rate, emphasizing how strategic mental preparation and clear communication turn tentative swimmers into ocean conquerors. Discover why long-distance swim training isn't just about logging kilometers but about pushing the mind and body to new limits—all while maintaining focus, confidence, and calm amidst chaos. 00:00 Introduction to Marathon Swimming and Tim Denya 02:51 Training Camps: Preparing for Marathon Swims 05:17 The Balance of Physical and Mental Training 08:25 Technique vs. Conditioning in Swimming 11:20 The Importance of Trust in Coaching 14:20 Managing Expectations and Anxiety in Swimmers 17:01 The Role of Purpose in Endurance Swimming 20:03 Adapting Training to Individual Needs 22:48 Evolution of Coaching Philosophies 25:43 The Importance of Nutrition in Training 28:19 Documentary Insights and Storytelling in Swimming 36:27 The Importance of Connection in Coaching 39:14 Empathy and Trust in Coaching 44:17 Navigating Challenges During Long Swims 50:30 The Art of Coaching: Balancing Emotion and Objectivity 57:35 Learning from the Best: Insights from Elite Swimmers 01:06:11 Continuous Learning and Adaptation in Coaching

While last week's rehearsal was our first time to play with the remarkable fiddler John Ace, that evening was likely the last time that Floodster Emeritus Dave “Bub” Ball will get to jam with his old friend.It was only at the end of the evening we learned that John — after two decades of snow-birding it from Virginia to Florida — is at a new crossroads in his life, set to move permanently to New Hampshire to be near his daughter.In fact, just hours after the last notes were played that night, Ball drove Ace to the depot so he could board a train for his Alexandria home. After that, Dave turned the car south for his long drive back to his home with his wife Yvonne in Jupiter, FL.“John and I will stay in touch,” Bub said in an email this week, “but with him in New Hampshire and me about 1500 miles away, the odds are we won't be able to get together again.”A train song seemed like the most appropriate choice for the last number of the night and we picked one of the best in our repertoire.Bub and John's JourneyAs reported here recently, in 2005 John Ace sold his house and car and moved to the sea, living full time on “Four Aces,” his 36-foot fiberglass Cabo Rico sailboat. From then on, he divided his time between summers in Virginia and winters in Florida … and/or the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico … wherever the winds carried him.Now, though, “at 76 traveling becomes a factor,” Bub said of his old friend.Bub met John about three years ago during one of those winter treks to warmer climes.“The band he was playing with at the time, Gypsy String Revival, needed a fill-in bassist and gave me a call,” Ball recalled. “He and I became friends and started playing jams together.”Later, when fiddler Paddy King, one of the original 3 String Circus members, couldn't make a renaissance fair gig, John filled in.“He spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with us here and we became close friends,” Bub recalled. “We played many Faire gigs together.”This summer The Flood got to meet John because Bub needed a fiddler to share the stage with him at the Lewisville, WV, renaissance fair. “John just happened to be in Alexandria, a five- or six-hour train ride to Alderson,” Ball said. “Soooooo, John filled in, and brilliantly I might add.”About the SongFeatured in this week's podcast, those last notes of our last evening with John and Bub are from “Yellow Dog Blues,” W.C. Handy's 1915 masterpiece that speaks so elegantly of the passages in life. As reported earlier, it is the song that brought a classic line to the blues world, talking about going to “where the Southern cross the Yellow Dog.”For more on the history of this grand old tune, see this earlier Flood Watch article. And for more of John Ace's fine fiddling with The Flood during his West Virginia trek, click here and here.Meanwhile, in Flood Movie News…Well, Georgia is on our mind these days. Randy Yohe's award-winning “These Boys” documentary about The Flood has been selected to participate in Augusta's 12th annual Black Cat Picture Show film festival.Black Cat is the Georgia city's only adjudicated international festival for independent films, hosted at Le Chat Noir theater, a 100-seat black box theater in downtown Augusta. This recognition now brings to a half dozen the number of honors the film has received this year. As reported earlier, the picture has been praised by two French festivals — ARFF Paris // International Film Festival and the Cine Paris Film Festival — as well as here in the States by The East Village New York Film Festival and Texas's Austin International Art Festival. Also the Appalachian Film Festival screened the documentary as the featured film on the opening night.Right now “These Boys” is working its way through film festivals like these, but we look forward to sharing the completed film with everyone later this year. We'll keep you posted.Click here to read more about the work on “These Boys.” This is a public episode.

Nearly three years ago, Newscast guest, author and journalist Ben Goldfarb discussed his book Crossings, which is about wildlife crossings and road ecology. Wildlife crossings help reconnect habitats fragmented by road networks, reducing collisions, helping protect threatened wildlife, and improving genetic diversity. Since that conversation, Goldfarb has documented the growing popularity of wildlife crossings worldwide. He returns to the Newscast to detail how, where, and why wildlife crossings are becoming increasingly funded and built. "Probably the biggest factor is that at this point, the evidence that wildlife crossing structures are effective is just overwhelming. Maybe 20 years ago, you could've theoretically said, 'Well … we don't necessarily know that …' but here in 2026, we just have a lot of scientific research basically showing that animals of all shapes and sizes use wildlife crossings," Goldfarb says. He takes us to locations in South America, North America and Europe, where this particular type of infrastructure has rare nonpartisan political support. A bill is currently before the U.S. Congress to make the Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program permanent. Public surveys show overwhelming support for wildlife crossings in the United States. Goldfarb explains that the positive reception may also be due to the visual nature of one iteration of crossings, the highway overpass, which a source of his long ago described as "billboards for connectivity." "I love wildlife crossings for … their ability to … just remind us that we're sort of global citizens of a planet that we share with wildlife."

1905 LA SPRING STREETHEADLINE: Pacific Watch: From Newsom's Political Ambitions to California's Animal Crossings and Culinary DiplomacyGUESTS Jeff Bliss: Pacific Watch correspondent and guide on West Coast matters. Michael Vlahos (referred to as Germanicus): Expert on historical parallels and international relations. SUMMARYThis special broadcast of the John Bachelor Show examines the intersection of California politics, wildlife conservation, and geopolitical shifts. Host John Bachelor and Jeff Bliss begin by analyzing Governor Gavin Newsom'spolitical persona, describing him as a "California dad" who skillfully engages with Gen Z voters while navigating complex Democratic party dynamics. The discussion highlights Newsom's recent pivot toward progressive billionaire tax policies—an effort to align with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and prevent capital flight to states like Florida and Texas. However, the conversation also addresses a significant corruption probe in Sacramento, involving an insider wearing a wire for the FBI and questions regarding the charities of Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom.Shifting to infrastructure and culture, the segment details a $114 million animal land bridge currently under construction over the 101 freeway. Designed to protect wildlife like mountain lions and deer while reducing fatal human collisions, the project is characterized as a "very California" endeavor—over budget and behind schedule but potentially life-saving. Other cultural highlights include the rising popularity of In-N-Out Burger among European tourists and plans for a future NBA arena on the Las Vegas Strip.Finally, Michael Vlahos joins to critique the decline of American moral authority and the "rules-based order". He suggests that Western powers rely on creating "monsters" to destroy as a means of managing domestic electorates through a state of permanent emergency. The broadcast concludes with reflections on reports of Donald Trump's massive annual earnings and the normalization of greed in modern politics.

This week on Talk World Radio we're talking about what the U.S. military does to Hawaii and what Hawaii could be without a massive military occupation. Our guest, Christine Ahn, is an Associate Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies. She is the Founder and former Executive Director of Women Cross DMZ, a global movement of women mobilizing to end the Korean War and ensure women's leadership in peace building. In 2015, she led 30 international women peacemakers across the De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) from North Korea, which was the subject of the award-winning 2023 PBS documentary, Crossings. IPS and a number of partners have released a new report called "The True Cost Of The U.S. Military In Hawaiʻi: A Comprehensive Analysis of the Economic, Environmental, Strategic, and Social Impacts of the U.S. Military Presence in Hawai'i."

After a week of summer camp, Jordan, Clayton, and Billy share what God showed them; from the power of "boring testimonies" to finding real forgiveness, to a first-time chaperone who showed up expecting vacation and left with a changed perspective on worship. Hear how one week away can shift everything.

Questions are an essential element of faith. Our community is called "Crossings" in reference to a story in Genesis in which Jacob wrestles with God before crossing the River Jabbok. Wrestling and questioning aren't opposed to faith; they are the necessary conditions for it. Each summer, we pass the microphone to members of our community who share their "Most Important Question". It's an opportunity for us to get to know each other, and to remind ourselves that we are not alone in our questioning.

This week on The Backyard Naturalists, Debbie Foster and Laurie Horne explore the fascinating world of wildlife bridges, wildlife crossings, green bridges, and ecoducts — structures designed to help animals safely move across fragmented habitats caused by highways, railroads, canals, and other human-made barriers. From deer, elk, badgers, mountain lions, alligators, amphibians, turtles, and even endangered red wolves, these crossings are becoming an increasingly important tool for protecting wildlife and people alike. Debbie and Laurie discuss how wildlife crossings have been used in Europe since the 1950s, why places like the Netherlands and Banff National Park in Canada have become models for large-scale wildlife passage, and how thoughtful design — including native plants, fencing, underpasses, overpasses, and species-specific construction — can dramatically reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. The episode also highlights current and future projects in North Carolina, including work along I-40 in the Pigeon River Gorge and US 64 near Alligator River, where crossings may benefit black bears, bobcats, turtles, snakes, and the critically endangered red wolf. Whether you're a longtime nature lover or just learning about the hidden ways wildlife moves through our landscapes, this episode offers a hopeful look at how smart planning and conservation can make roads safer for everyone — humans and animals included.

One person has lost his life in the Garden Route storms that swept the district over the last two days. Police have confirmed that they've found the body of a 40-year-old male, who was swept away in floodwaters on Wednesday night in Waboomskraal, outside George in the Western Cape. The body was recovered this morning after the victim was swept into the swollen Kliprivier. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Garden Route Head of Disaster Management, Gerhard Otto

Mike talks with filmmaker Kimi Takesue, whose work — spanning documentary, fiction, and experimental forms — is now collected on the Criterion Channel. Takesue grew up shuttling between Honolulu and Massachusetts, and that cross-cultural, biracial upbringing informs every frame she has made, from early shorts rooted in identity politics to acclaimed features documenting cross-cultural encounters in Uganda, Laos, and Hawaiʻi.Her films, including Where Are You Taking Me?, 95 and 6 to Go, and Onlookers, examine those encounters through an observational lens, tracing the power dynamics and unspoken tensions that emerge when tourists and locals share the same unequal terrain. Takesue discusses her practice of traveling without research or agenda, letting one thing unfold into the next, and how a devastating failed fiction project directly led to the making of Where Are You Taking Me? She also talks about the rhythm and formalism of Onlookers, the tension between aestheticizing beauty and critiquing the tourist gaze, the influences she only fully embraced later in her career, and her current work-in-progress following tour guides at Cambodian atrocity sites.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Across the United States, there are many thousands of collisions between vehicles and wildlife each year, killing people and animals and causing millions of dollars in property damages. Some solutions revolve around creating bridges specifically for wildlife, from elk and mountain lions to even turtles and salamanders. It's been estimated that collisions with wildlife in the United States kill around 200 people and injure more than 26,000 per year. Building wildlife crossings can reduce those collisions by up to 97 percent. Back in 2021 the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided $350 million to be doled out as grants over five years on building such crossings. But the funding runs out this year, and the National Parks Conservation Association has been urging Congress to not just renew the program, but see that it provides $200 million a year going forward. To explain the problem and associated costs with the lack of wildlife crossings today's guests are Bart Melton, senior director of NPCA's wildlife program, and Renee Callahan from ARC Solutions, a nonprofit that works to  facilitate new thinking, new methods, new materials and new solutions for wildlife crossing structures.

If you've ever driven around on a damp, spring night here in New England, you've probably seen some little animals on the move trying to cross the road in front of you. For turtles, salamanders, frogs and other like creatures, this is a crucial migration, because it's tied to breeding, feeding, and survival. Unfortunately, it can often be deadly, but a new program in New Hampshire is trying to help, with the installation of new tunnels and wildlife crossings to keep these animals safe. Sandi Houghton, a Wildlife Diversity Biologist with NH Fish and Game, joins Nichole and Brett Amy Thelen, the Science Director at the Harris Center for Conservation Education in Hancock, NH, for more on this story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is FerryShare? You can hear the passion in Ben's voice as he describes what he has built. He created this readily available app to make your life easier. You can reduce your cost to get to or from Vancouver Island (the Gulf Islands are being added as I write this) by using FerryShare. As a passenger you save; as a driver you too can save. One person in one vehicle is inefficient in so many ways. This is especially true during long weekends and the holiday season. Have a listen along while Ben explains his thought process and how you can benefit - not just now during a time of rising fuel costs - and how this lowers emissions.

Julia and her family are currently in Thailand awaiting a flight to Cyprus to reconnect with their catamaran “Numa” as she is skippered across from Ko Lanta to Europe. We've known Julia for a few years in London, where she's often joined us for Soulwalks in Richmond Park, for coffee and conversation, and it's this foundation of sharing intimate experiences which leads us to re-connect across the airwaves. As you'll hear, they left their London Richmond life, to take on a new venture and way of living on the sea, and exploring many parts of the world. Now after almost a year, they've travelled the Gulf of Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, big tourist spots like Phuket and Krabi as well as tiny island and communities. What have they learnt? Together we jump right in to understand the drivers, but also the complexities of life at sea. The considerations, starting with how to keep themselves safe. It sounds very much like it's a true balance of freedom and familiarity, with tasks that need to be completed, food accessed, wind and tide patterns understood, and amongst all of that the uncontrollable elements of the family dynamics. What do we learn about ourselves and relationships? Julia shares the challenges of navigating this with her partner and son. We wish the family safe travels across to Europe, and look forward to sharing stories somewhere else in the world.

We're bracing for wild swings in the weather today with the possibility of tornadoes between 3 and 9 p.m. today. And we take a deep dive into Pennsylvania’s wildlife crossings and corridors: State lawmakers were briefed on the subject during a recent state budget hearing in Harrisburg. Cindy Adams Dunn, secretary of the Pa. Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, said DCNR will soon be bringing together several state agencies including PennDOT with the goal of making state roadways safer for both wildlife and drivers alike. Joining WITF’s Karen Hendricks in conversation today is Stephanie Wein of the nonprofit advocacy group PennEnvironment which has long studied wildlife crossings and corridors, along with habitat fragmentation. And one more related story to put on your radar: We are in a special window of time when thousands of snow geese touch down every year at a Lebanon County reservoir.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Detroit seemed to experience an explosive rebirth following its bankruptcy, the largest in US municipal history. It was as if the slate had been wiped clean and the color line erased in the nation's largest Black city. Detroit Never Left explains the relation between racism and space by analyzing the ways opportunities changed in the years leading up to and following bankruptcy.Based on a variety of data, including in-depth interviews with people who identify as “Latina/o/x” in their early 20s, ethnographic observation, and media coverage, in Detroit Never Left: Black Space, White Borders, Latino Crossings (NYU Press, 2026), Dr. Nicole E. Trujillo-Pagán shows how a dialectic between empty and concrete abstractions created new opportunities for outside investment, often at the expense of residents' fortunes. She reveals space is much more than a neutral backdrop; It is continually produced through abstractions that act like bordering and crossing practices to control resources and opportunities. With broad implications for analyses of space and opportunity, Detroit Never Left tackles important contradictions in the post-bankruptcy city. For example, urban youth do not want to be moved out or isolated in their barrio. Similarly, many Detroiters feel spatial changes happen “to,” instead of “for” them. Ultimately, residents' concerns underscored broader tensions between democratic inclusion and racialized capitalism. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

On today's episode, journalist Hels Goethe joins Borderland to discuss reporting from the San Diego–Mexico border, including open corridors, cartel smuggling routes, and footage showing armed men in Mexican military-style uniforms crossing into the U.S., with questions over whether they were Mexican military or CJNG impersonators. They also examine how border intelligence is collected on the ground, the challenges of identification and repatriation, and how global actors — including China — intersect with border security issues.

Beautiful soul, this episode is for anyone who wants to understand what really happens on the Other Side, feel less fear about death, and remember how deeply loved and guided you are. Julie is joined by Heather Vandermeyden, author of Miracles From the Other Side, who shares her extraordinary story of spending three weeks in intensive care and having more than 20 experiences of leaving her body. Heather speaks about angels ministering inside hospitals, God's presence, soul agreements, the way time works differently beyond the veil, and the healing love that carried her through a 4% chance of survival. This conversation goes far beyond surface-level NDE stories. Heather shares what she saw, what she felt, and what she learned about love, service, purpose, and how souls are connected across lifetimes. She also shares how her experiences shaped her life after returning, including the powerful moment she recognized her future children's souls and later adopted them through foster care.
