In this episode, Julie tells Savannah about a social media post she make for "Protect the Dolls" and a comment that made her take the post down and re-evaluate what was most appropriate and most inclusive. While protecting the beautiful, young and passable "dolls" is a just cause, there are many who feel they are old, clockable "bricks" that do not fall under the same protection. Julie discusses the wisdom in the comment she received , the research she did, and the better post she created to treat ALL dolls equal.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

In this episode, Savannah shares with Julie her growing fear and concern about the state of the American social and political fronts as it applies to multitudes of gender-expansive people, their families, and LGBTQ+ allies. When outspoken opponents call for institutionalization of people in the trans or gay communities as mentally ill, it takes fortitude and resilience to continue to show up in the world for oneself and on behalf of others in the shared struggle.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

OpenStreetMap is the Wikipedia of maps: a publicly-available database of spacial information that anyone can edit. We sit down with prolific OSM contributor Jackson Kruger to talk about the best ways to use the data, and how to get comfortable with contributing to the project. Links OpenStreetMap (keep in mind that the map on this website is more of a tech demo than anything) There are many clients listed on OSM Apps Catalog, which makes it easy to filter by platform and purpose. Below are some of Jackson and Parker's recommendations: Navigation clients OsmAnd: extremely full-featured, but the interface may be intimidating. Android and iOS. Organic Maps: a simpler interface, with features that most users will need; probably the closest comparison to Google Maps on this list. Android, iOS, and Linux. CoMaps: a recent community fork of Organic Maps. Android and iOS. Transit App: combines OSM data for walking and biking with real-time transit data from agencies across the world to give incredibly robust navigation information for those outside a car. Android and iOS. Bikemap: exclusively focused on bike routes, imagine that. Android, iOS, and web. Editing clients Go Map!!: strikes a good balance between letting you do everything you need to be able to do while making it reasonably accessible. iOS and macOS. StreetComplete: provides an interface that makes editing easy and gamifies the process. Android. MapComplete: lists a series of themed collections to make it easier to focus your editing efforts. Android and web. Every Door: specializes in editing businesses and points of interest. iD: the default editor built into the OSM website. Web. Find more editing clients on the OSM wiki. Cool OSM-adjacent projects OpenRailwayMap MOTIS Project OpenHistoricalMap OpenStreetMap Foundation partnering with a utility company in France.

In this episode, Julie tells Savannah all about the fallacies of women's fashion and how the sizing conventions between all the various online, retail, and high-end fashion designers seldom have a universal standard.

In this special 30th-anniversary episode, Dave is joined by Abdeslam Alaoui, co-founder and CEO of HPS, to reflect on three decades of transformation in payments and digital finance. He shares how HPS has evolved from a regional firm into a global powerhouse, quietly powering everyday transactions around the world—from mobile payments to digital loans—without most users even knowing. The conversation explores HPS's commitment to innovation, its ethos of invisibility, and the company's rigorous cycle of reinvention every ten years. Abdeslam offers insight into the strategic thinking that led HPS to adopt English as its operational language from day one and the importance of maintaining technological freshness through continuous redevelopment. Looking forward, Abdeslam discusses the shift from products to experiences in financial services, the growing integration of AI, and HPS's acquisition of CR2, enabling a seamless “glass-to-ledger” customer experience. He highlights the power of orchestration, hyper-personalisation, and dynamic digital engagement as key trends shaping the future. The episode concludes with reflections on Africa's role in leapfrogging legacy financial infrastructure, the opportunity AI presents to transform education and financial inclusion, and a provocative suggestion: that payments may well eat banking as revenue models shift from account-based income to transaction-driven services.

In this episode, Dave and Dharm sit down with Cristina Pieretti, Head of Digital Content and Innovation at Moody's, to explore how one of the world's most data-driven organisations is reimagining itself through Generative AI. Cristina reveals how Moody's moved rapidly from early experiments to launching its first commercial GenAI product, the Moody's Research Assistant, which became the company's fastest-adopted tool in history. She shares how GenAI now powers everything from developer co-pilots to agentic sales and strategy tools, reshaping how thousands of employees work and think. The conversation dives deep into: How Moody's is embedding GenAI across teams while managing risk, trust, and data integrity. The cultural shift needed to make AI adoption part of everyone's job — not just the developers'. Why agentic systems represent the next big leap for productivity and innovation. How banks and financial institutions are following suit, with parallels drawn to the early days of cloud adoption. Cristina's candid thoughts on the so-called “AI bubble” and why she believes specialisation and high-quality data will separate lasting innovation from hype. This is a masterclass in how established financial institutions can turn disruption into opportunity, with human creativity and trusted data at the core.

Demystifying the many misconceptions about cannabis with Santa Cruz expert Christopher Carr. We discuss Santa Cruz cannabis history of smugglers, musicians and botanists, the human cannabinoid system and how it relates to our health and so much more fascinating information about this wonderful yet notorious plant. Do humans have a unique connection to cannabis? And if so, can cannabis be considered a plant medicine? YES, a big fat YES according to our cell's, YES according to recorded history, and YES according to many peer-reviewed studies!Christopher Carr is a Santa Cruz-based educator, cultivator, and host of The Cannabis Connection, a radio show focused on cannabis science, culture, and policy. A Cabrillo College cannabis guest lecturer, lifelong activist, and seasoned competition judge—including High Times, the Emerald Cup, and serving as a Cannabis Judge for the California State Fair 2025—Chris is also a cannabis critic on Budist, where he contributes thoughtful reviews to advance cannabis connoisseurship and appreciation. Deeply rooted in the Compassionate Use Act, his work champions cannabis education, equity, and compassionate access across California.Christopher co-founded local Santa Cruz roots band Ancestree and performs Bass with multiple bands in the greater 831. Christopher volunteers as a DJ at KBCZ 89.3 FM and served as an Art Commissioner for the City of Santa Cruz. Christopher is a proud father of two — Sophia Rose, 3 years old, and Joseph Bruce, 1 year old — and a loving husband, giving thanks for every day in the Santa Cruz Mountains. 

In a candid and informative episode of "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael talks with Dr. Marsha Nelson, a board-certified breast surgeon at Valley Health Breast Center, to shed light on the realities of breast cancer. As October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the timing of this conversation could not be more relevant. From the outset, Janet sets a personal tone, sharing her own hesitations about mammograms and giving a heartfelt shoutout to a friend and survivor, Sandy Schwab. This openness paves the way for a discussion that is both educational and deeply human. Understanding the Risks Dr. Nelson wastes no time addressing the statistics: breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with one in eight women facing a diagnosis in their lifetime. However, she quickly clarifies that while the risk is significant, it is not the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. The conversation transitions smoothly into a discussion of risk factors, emphasizing that age and gender are the two biggest contributors—factors no one can change. Nevertheless, Dr. Nelson highlights the importance of understanding family history, genetics, and lifestyle choices such as smoking and diet. She notes that only a small percentage of breast cancer cases are directly linked to genetic mutations, but encourages women to be proactive about their health regardless of their background. The Power of Early Detection Transitioning to the topic of screening, Janet and Dr. Nelson explore the life-saving potential of early detection. Dr. Nelson strongly advocates for annual mammograms starting at age 40, explaining that early-stage breast cancer is highly treatable and often curable. She addresses common concerns about mammograms, from discomfort to fears about radiation, and reassures listeners that the benefits far outweigh the risks. Moreover, Dr. Nelson discusses the limitations of mammograms, especially for women with dense breast tissue, and explains how additional imaging techniques like ultrasounds and MRIs can provide a clearer picture when needed. Navigating the Emotional Journey The conversation takes a personal turn as Janet admits she has never had a mammogram, despite regularly interviewing health professionals. Dr. Nelson responds with empathy, acknowledging that fear and uncertainty often prevent women from scheduling screenings. She emphasizes that knowledge is power, and that early detection can spare women from more aggressive treatments down the road. The dialogue underscores the emotional complexity of breast cancer prevention, blending medical facts with real-life anxieties and encouragement. Genetics, Testing, and Next Steps As the discussion delves into genetic testing, Dr. Nelson outlines the process for women who may be at higher risk due to family history. She explains that not everyone needs genetic testing, but those who meet certain criteria can benefit from counseling and, if necessary, more intensive surveillance. Importantly, Dr. Nelson dispels the myth that a positive genetic test automatically leads to drastic measures like prophylactic mastectomy, stressing that each case is unique and should be managed with personalized care. A Call to Action In closing, Janet commits to scheduling her first mammogram and urges listeners to do the same. She invites her audience to share their own screening dates, fostering a sense of community and accountability. Dr. Nelson expresses her hope that the conversation will inspire more women to take charge of their breast health, reinforcing the message that early action saves lives.

Was Joseph Smith a mystic? Searching for the term ‘mysticism' on the Church website yields, “See: False Doctrine, Sorcery, Superstitions; Traditions of Men.” So it's no wonder many church members haven't thought much about mysticism—the role it may have played in Joseph's experience, or how it might inform their own everyday lives or transform their spiritual practices. But poet Kathryn Knight Sonntag describes it differently: “Trusting the groundless ground, trusting that the darkness or the chaos or the unknown place actually is deeply full of knowing and love and purpose. And that it's ultimately the path into apotheosis. It's ultimately where we begin that journey of becoming divine.” In Episode 241, Kathryn joins Susan and Cynthia to explore the concept of mysticism. What might it look like for Latter-day Saints to step off the prescribed map and onto the sacred ground of our own lives in pursuit of personal encounters with God?
