Podcasts about Crossings

Around a thousand of the firefighters who battled blazes around southern California in January 2025 were incarcerated. They do essentially the same work as other firefighters but are paid as little as around $5 a day. A formerly incarcerated firefighter shares what it was like and how the experience helped him forge a new life after prison as a professional firefighter. Also, as the water supply in Athens, Greece dwindles and demand surges from residents and tourists alike, the city is looking to antiquity for solutions. One that's attracting attention is an ancient aqueduct that runs beneath Athens. And the many millions of miles of roads that crisscross our planet block everything from bears to beetles from safely moving through habitats. But new wildlife crossings like overpasses and underpasses are helping reconnect animals with the landscape. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On any given day in New York, animals are vulnerable to being struck by vehicles on our roadways...and these collisions aren't just dangerous for wildlife. On this episode of the DOT POD, Josh and Anya discuss how the New York State Department of Transportation is working to provide safe passage for wildlife with the safety of nature and humans in mind. They are joined by two people who are helping the cause in Stephanie DeLano, Director of DOT's Environmental Science Bureau within the Office of Environment, and Chris Standley, Environmental Specialist with the Office of Environment. To get an up close and personal look at one of these Wildlife Crossings, head to the 2025 Great New York State Fair where one will be on display in the Science and Industry building!

KeirStarmer #MigrantCrisis, #NationalEmergency#NigelFarage #JonGaunt Small boat crossings have now passed 23,000 since Keir Starmer took office — a staggering figure that exposes the scale of the UK's border crisis.  Today's Mail on Sunday reveals disturbing reports of migrant crime inside taxpayer-funded hotels, while MPs head off on a six-week holiday.  Forget six-week holidays — the Cabinet should be manning the border, not sunbathing while the country is in crisis. Meanwhile, the government continues to hide behind excuses about “14 years of Tory rule,” instead of presenting a real plan. The truth is, the British people are fed up — and they're right to be. Enough is enough — Keir Starmer must declare a National State of Emergency.  Our borders are wide open, crime is rising, and public anger is boiling over. This is no longer just a political issue — it's a national security crisis. While Labour stalls and dithers, only figures like Nigel Farage seem willing to speak the truth and propose real solutions. And with protests and riots now erupting in places like Epping, it's clear the country has reached its breaking point.

Hosts Fran Chismar and Tom Knezick connect with Ben Goldfarb (Author of Crossings, Eager) to talk about road ecology. Topics include the history of road ecology, how our highway systems impact wildlife, how have wildlife crossings improves, what type of wildlife is impacted most, and of course, favorite native plants.  Music by Egocentric Plastic Men, Outro music by Dave Bennett.

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted interviews Julia Kintsch, the Principal and Senior Ecologist at Eco-Resolutions. Julia grew up in Boulder, Colorado where she was ingrained with a deep love of nature. She went to University of Colorado at Boulder and earned a degree in Environmental Conservation. Then, after serving in the Peace Corps in Africa, she enrolled at Duke University and earned a masters degree in Landscape Ecology. After working for The Nature Conservancy and other non-profits, she formed Eco-Resolutions with the goal of minimizing and mitigating the impacts to nature of human activity.For the past 16 years, Julia has supported a number of transportation agencies and other groups... finding ways to protect both wildlife and motorists from accidents. She explains that her work with transportation ecology is at the intersection of the human and natural environment. She is a collaborator no doubt, bringing together diverse interests to build underpasses and overpasses and other roadway mitigation measures such as motorist warnings activated by cameras that detect the presence of wildlife. Every project and community is unique, different terrain and different species --deer, elk, moose, bears, coyotes, and smaller animals -- require different forms of crossings. Ted chimes in with his experience dodging deer in Vermont and monkees on roadways in Malaysia. Julia then presents the results of a number of her projects in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Virginia. The Colorado State Highway 9 wildlife protection project, she explains, is really a "system" made up of seven crossings, 10.8 miles of fencing, as well as 62 motion-sensor activated cameras at 49 locations to track the results of the protection systems. What years of careful evaluation has proven is a 90% decrease in accidents... a success rate that has earned significant recognition of the efficacy of careful and early planning, including both mitigation and crossing feasibility studies. Most recently, Julia has been consulting for Roaring Fork Safe Passages, working for its Director, Cecily DeAngelo, to prioritize wildlife crossings on Colorado State Highway 82, the busy transportation corridor that connects Aspen and Glenwood Springs.

Every year Crossings attempts to live into its name, derived from Genesis 32 and Jacob's wrestling with God. We invite folks to share for 10 minutes about their biggest questions of faith right now, how they arrived at these questions, and ways they're wrestling through these questions. This week we remembered that the process of solving puzzles is often more important than actually solving the puzzle.

At the end of a three day state visit, the French President and Sir Keir Starmer have announced details of what has been described as a "groundbreaking" plan to deter migrants from crossing the Channel. Also: four people are arrested in connection with cyber attacks which wrought chaos at Marks and Spencer and the Co-op. And the owner of a pet supplies store in Liverpool celebrates settling a dispute with one of the world's best known fashion brands.

This month in the Wild Green Book Club, we are featuring Crossings: How Road Ecology Is Shaping the Future of Our Planet by environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb. It's a travelogue-y introduction to the science of how roads shape our communities, both ecological and human, and the researchers who are working to better understand and respond to the world they have created.

More 20,000 people arrived in the UK in the first half of this year by crossing the English Channel in small boats. That figure is up 48 percent on the first six months of 2024. The number is especially high at this time of year, because of the warm summer weather and calmer waters. Efforts to crack down on illegal immigration will be among the issues discussed this week as French President Emmanuel Macron makes a state visit to the UK. French police face resistance from migrants determined to complete the last step in the journey, and reach the UK.

Cecily DeAngelo read an article in the New York Times about wildlife crossings, and ever since, she has been laser-focused on developing wildlife crossings in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado. She grew up there and has witnessed first hand the carnage along Pitkin County's roadways... dead bears, deer, elk, rabbits, and more and more moose. These vehicle wildlife accidents decimate wildlife in the Roaring Fork Valley and are responsible for 30% of vehicle accidents there.  What Cecily learned is that the Roaring Fork Valley, which runs from Aspen to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, is bisected in terms of wildlife and biodiversity. Highway 82, which runs parallel to the Roaring Fork River, has caused a dangerous divide for wildlife. To address this she formed Roaring Fork Safe Passages, a citizen-led coalition that raises awareness about the opportunity to build wildlife crossings, either overpasses or underpasses. Supported initially by the Aspen Skiing Company, she and her colleagues developed a "Prioritization Study" that ranks sections of the highway for safe crossings. Now, working with the communities in the Valley, and hopefully with the Colorado Department of Transportation, she is working raising funds to build overpasses in key areas, funneling wildlife in specific areas thanks to well-designed fencing for safe crossings.The podcast also features Cecily's determination to get involved in politics. Inspired by the former president of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, who gave birth when in office, Cecily is passionate about urging young citizens -- reproductive age and underrepresented -- to take action and to get involved with school boards, commissions, and councils. In 2024, she ran for Snowmass Village City Council and won, expanding its female majority... working on key issues such as community planning, affordable housing, and sustainability. Despite the challenging juggling act of raising a family, managing Roaring Fork Safe Passages, and serving her community on City Council, Cecily is excited and fulfilled by positively influencing the region where she lives, and encourages others to follow suit.

Six speed cameras are going to be installed at level crossings nationwide by the end of the year to stop dangerous behaviour. 30 incidents have been recorded so far this year, which include drivers speeding to try and beat the crossing gates or pedestrians trying to jump them. Drivers will now be fined €160 euro if they speed at a level crossing, and €80 if they break a red light. Barry Kenny of Irish Rail says the cameras were trialled in this county.

Barry Kenny, Head of Corporate Communications at Iarnród Éireann, outlines plans to introduce Garda speed cameras at level crossing points.

Nearly half of motor vehicles fail to stop, or prepare to stop when approaching level crossings in research commissioned by Kiwirail. 

The Home Office says the doubling of good weather days this year compared to the start of 2024 "coincides with small boat arrivals being 46% higher" - but research by Sky's Data and Forensics team shows a rise in crossings during bad weather as well.    On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky News' political correspondent Ali Fortescue and senior data journalist Daniel Dunford to assess what the new data tells us about how well the government's plans to tackle small boat crossings are working and what they've learnt about how the smuggling gangs are adapting.  Producer: Emily Hulme Editor: Wendy Parker 

Joining the Exchange to discuss the problem and project solutions is Tim Greseth, Executive Director of the Oregon Wildlife Foundation.

Stacy shares insights from her first off-property trail ride with Ember, revealing a critical moment where riders unknowingly teach their horses problematic behaviors. By identifying the exact instant when most riders make a fundamental mistake at water crossings, Stacy demonstrates how arena training directly transfers to trail success. Key takeaways: When a horse hesitates at obstacles like mud or water, is "go now" REALLY what you want to say? Arena work that develops nuanced communication between horse and rider enables successful navigation of trail challenges  Maintaining consistent guidance when horses encounter new situations prevents confusion, unlike the mixed messages This episode examines the direct connection between indoor schooling and outdoor application, demonstrating how the "high school" level subtleties developed in controlled settings become essential tools when facing real-world trail challenges. Riders who struggle with water crossings or similar obstacles will gain actionable insights into how their communication either resolves or creates these common trail problems.

In a sweeping review of recent border policy shifts, this commentary celebrates record-low illegal border crossings and a 99% drop in gotaways under Donald Trump's return to office—contrasting it sharply with Biden-era policies. It argues the change in results required no new laws, just new leadership, and accuses the previous administration of deliberately enabling mass illegal immigration for political gain. With rising public support, militarized enforcement, and legal consequences on the horizon, the border battle has entered a new phase.

Beginning with a prayer, he outlines his family's history in church planting, the growth of The Crossings Church since 2004, and their unique approach to making disciples. Discussing the importance of repentance, baptism, and the relational component in discipling, he emphasizes the need for leaders to model these practices. The video includes insights into their structured Bible study process, small group dynamics, and intentional church practices. Practical advice is given for churches seeking to emulate this model and address doctrinal adherence and growth challenges. https://reallifetheologypodcast.supercast.com/  Key Takeaways  00:00 Opening Prayer and Introduction 00:49 Personal Background and Church Planting Journey 01:55 Growth and Challenges at The Crossings Church 04:03 Cultural Shifts in the Restoration Movement 10:31 The Importance of Relational Discipleship 18:07 Teaching Repentance and Baptism 19:26 Bible Study Practices at The Crossings 30:01 Training New Disciples 31:57 The Importance of Repentance 33:43 Understanding Baptism 34:34 Challenges in Discipleship 38:07 Addressing Doctrinal Differences 45:09 Small Group Dynamics 47:54 Maintaining Church Culture 58:17 Concluding Thoughts "Farming vs. Factory Work in Ministry" In this episode, Kerry Cox shares lessons from his ministry journey, focusing on church planting, discipleship, and creating a culture of genuine spiritual growth. He opens with a prayer, setting the tone for a conversation centered on God's guidance and the power of community. Kerry reflects on his early exposure to church life, shaped by his parents starting a home church when they grew disillusioned with traditional ones. From a young age, he witnessed how the unchurched came to faith and became disciple-makers themselves—a foundation that shaped his approach to ministry. In 2004, Kerry and about 30 others moved west of St. Louis to plant Crossings Church. Over the next 20 years, it grew to around 650 members, especially connecting with youth and people new to church. Crossings stood out from typical Churches of Christ by building a culture that prioritized relationships, authenticity, and active discipleship. A key theme Kerry emphasizes is the need to move beyond a baptism-centered model to one that fully integrates faith, repentance, and ongoing discipleship. He challenges the tendency in some Restoration Movement churches to treat baptism as the end goal, arguing instead for a holistic, relational approach to spiritual growth. Throughout the episode, Kerry shares stories that bring this vision to life—like the high schooler who brought his troubled brother, TC, to church. Though TC's commitment was doubted at first, he went on to help lead their first church plant. Stories like this underscore the power of relational ministry and long-term investment in people. Kerry also breaks down how Crossings Church puts these values into practice. Every member joins a small group and engages in a foundational Bible study process that covers topics from seeking God to discipleship and baptism. Leaders are trained to model this lifestyle, creating a culture where disciple-making starts at the top and flows through the entire church. He answers audience questions on how to integrate new believers, tailor small groups, and avoid turning church into a checklist of activities. His central point: everything the church does should point back to its mission—making real, multiplying disciples. Kerry wraps up by urging churches to shift their culture—away from routine, and toward deep, intentional, Spirit-led relationships. His insights, drawn from years of hands-on ministry, offer a practical and inspiring roadmap for building vibrant, disciple-making communities.

In this episode of Florida Uncut, we sit down with Brent Setchell, Drainage Design Engineer with the Florida Department of Transportation's District 1, to talk about something most drivers rarely see—but Florida's wildlife depends on: wildlife crossings.Brent grew up immersed in the outdoors, and now he's helping ensure Florida's wild places remain connected. From panthers and bears to otters and deer, these crossings save lives—animal and human alike. But what goes into building one? When and where is the right time to act? And how many crossings do we actually need?We dig into the data, the planning, and the unexpected benefits that come with making Florida's highways a little more humane and its wild spaces more connected. Brent also shares the story behind one of the state's standout crossings near the Hilochee Wildlife Management Area, as well as the first overpass wildlife crossing currently under construction on I-4. Resources/links from episode:Watch FDOT and fStop's film, Building Wild Spaces, Connectivity on I-4 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3TPkSaQ4e8&t=51sMap of current and upcoming Florida wildlife crossings: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=a105b26615f64b19b543eb9ab61fe197&extent=-9237486.6341%2C2933269.2122%2C-8868754.4097%2C3305670.414%2C102100Learn more about the Lakeland Mural Unveiling with the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation on 4/18 at 3pm.

Montana has one of the highest rates of wildlife-vehicle collisions in the country. House Bill 855, carried by Billings Republican Representative Katie Zolnikov, creates a way to fund wildlife crossings to fix the problem.

Wildlife crossings save animals' lives by enabling them to cross roads in search of food, water and nesting sites safely, while also protecting biodiversity and reducing costly motor vehicle accidents. Without a safe place to cross the roads cutting through their habitat, animals suffer many negative consequences, explains my guest this week, environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb, the author of the book “Crossings: How Road Ecology Is Shaping the Future of Our Planet.” Podcast Links for Show notes Download my free eBook 5 Steps to Your Best Garden Ever - the 5 most important steps anyone can do to have a thriving garden or landscape.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim. Join Scot and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss CBS News' attacks on free speech, the significant decline in illegal border crossings, and how the right is outpacing the left on political messaging. They also offer their quick thoughts on the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live.They start with a deep dive into multiple efforts by CBS News to undermine free speech. Scot and Greg explore the controversial comments made by Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan, who suggested that too much free speech contributed to the rise of the Nazis and the Holocaust. They also take aim at 60 Minutes' favorable coverage of German laws prosecuting individuals for allegedly posting offensive or false information online. They explain why CBS is taking this dangerous position and how it distorts the concept of free speech.Next, the hosts celebrate the dramatic drop in illegal border crossings. They highlight a report showing just 229 illegal crossings on Sunday, a stark contrast to the peak numbers during the Biden administration. Greg attributes the sharp decline to policies enacted by the Trump administration that ended the incentives for illegal immigration, while Scot points out that President Biden could have implemented similar measures to achieve these results but refused.Then they marvel at a new Politico report in which Democrats acknowledge that Republicans are "running circles" around them in terms of political messaging, which has almost never been the case. Scot explains why this is a significant development for the left, and how it explains their efforts, along with the media, to suppress free speech. Finally, Scot shares his thoughts on Sunday's 50th anniversary special for Saturday Night Live and which moments stood out in the program.This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.Visit Better Help https://www.betterhelp.com/3ML to get 10% off your first month
