Brixton Metals CEO Gary Thompson joins the show to break down the company's newest discovery at the Thorn Project in northwestern British Columbia — the Tempest copper-gold-silver porphyry system, announced in early December. This marks the second new porphyry discovery at Thorn in just over a year, following the Catalyst discovery reported in late October (TSX-V: BBB).Drawing on Brixton's latest news release and the company's December 2025 corporate presentation, the discussion outlines how Tempest emerged from a combination of IP geophysics, soil and rock geochemistry, and first-pass drilling. Thompson explains that Tempest hosts a nearly 2 km² IP anomaly, slightly larger than Catalyst's ~1.4 km² footprint, and that both zones lie roughly 2 km apart within what is shaping up to be a multi-center, 8–10 km porphyry corridor at Thorn.Thompson details the results from Hole THN24-601 at Tempest, which cut intervals of porphyry-style veining and alteration with copper-gold mineralization, including intercepts such as 16.6 m of 0.63% CuEq, 27 m of ~0.40% CuEq, and a broader 90 m averaging ~0.33% CuEq. He notes the intriguing near 1:1 gold-to-copper ratio, distinguishing Tempest and Catalyst from the deeper, more copper-dominant Camp Creek system. The geology suggests interlayered reactive and less-reactive volcanic phases, with age-dating underway to determine how these systems relate temporally.The conversation expands to Brixton's broader exploration strategy for 2026:• Additional drilling at Tempest and Catalyst, where large footprints and limited drilling create substantial open-ended potential.• Evaluating deeper targets at Trapper, where notable high-grade gold hits were generated in 2025.• Continued shallow drilling at Camp Creek to follow up on near-surface breccia- and vein-hosted gold-silver-copper zones.• Budget ambitions of roughly $10M, dependent on market conditions.Thompson also provides an update on the Langis Silver Project in Ontario. With silver recently breaking through US$60/oz, Brixton is mobilizing a drill program (targeting mid-January) to extend the high-grade native silver veins around historic workings that previously produced 10.5 Moz at ~25 oz/t. With shallow drilling costs around $200/m, Langis offers high-impact, low-cost exploration upside, with resource delineation now firmly in sight.The episode wraps with expected near-term news flow: remaining drill results from Trapper and Camp Creek, a comprehensive geochemical dataset, and pending high-grade silver assays from Langis in early 2026.

We've been talking about the Paramount Skydance/Warner Brothers Discovery/Netflix Billionaire Boys Club Spectacular for a few days now. But it's really worth digging into the details to understand how all of this could reshape our media diets – and our politics. If Netflix buys Warner Bros. Discovery, that could be very bad news for Hollywood. But if Paramount buys Warner Bros. Discovery, the Trump-supporting Ellisons would own: CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, DC Studios, TNT Sports, Warner Bros., Oracle and a whole bunch more. It's basically a big, complicated mess — so to unpack what it means for consumers and why on earth President Trump is involved, we spoke to Ben Smith. He's co-founder and editor-in-chief of Semafor, and host of the Mixed Signals podcast.And in headlines, Trump brings his economic message to the American people on the first stop of his affordability tour, the Supreme Court hears arguments over campaign finance limits, and will Americans follow Australia's footsteps and ban social media for children?Show Notes:Check out Mixed Signals – https://tinyurl.com/ycxvkz6fCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

From out of the shadows of the U.S. intelligence community, Dr. James T. Lacatski, a former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) career intelligence officer and scientist, has emerged to become best known as the program manager who initiated and oversaw the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP). The program was, in short, the Pentagon's most comprehensive—and at times most controversial—known inquiry into unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP.  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a look at Lacatski's contributions to the UAP research effort, as detailed in formerly classified files released through the Freedom of Information Act, as well as several books he has authored about his tenure with AAWSAP, the latest of which, Inside the U.S. Government Covert UFO Program: New Insights, details the secretive scientist's ongoing revelations about the DIA's investigations into the unexplained.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

This week we're rooting on Australia's bold new experiment: a nationwide social media ban for teens under 16 (even though we're not quite sure how it's gonna work). With companies on the hook for massive fines, we break down how the government plans to enforce it, what apps are included, and how we would've handled this kind of restriction as teens ourselves. Would we support something similar in the U.S., and would parents actually help enforce it? We also talk VPN loopholes, whack-a-mole app workarounds, and the nostalgia of being slightly less online growing up. We're also talking Hollywood's latest attention-grabbing strategy: vertical micro-dramas. With Netflix's bombshell bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery and streamers scrambling for our eyeballs, these 45-second, swipe-friendly “shows” are becoming a real investment. We discuss whether they work, why the “second screen problem” is driving this trend, and if TV has actually gotten worse, or if we've all just gotten too distracted. We wrap with recs: Think of setting New Year's themes, not resolutions (Andrew), vibration plates (Laura), and buying cleaning brush attachments for your drill head instead of buying a whole new cleaning appliance (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: We get some follow up tea on family holiday drama, and we ask each other some probing questions about ourselves inspired by Teen Vogue's list of 215 questions to ask your friends.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary - Series 28 Episode 145In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore groundbreaking discoveries that deepen our understanding of the origins of life and the dynamics of our galaxy.Sugars and Stardust: Insights from Asteroid BennuNASA's Osiris Rex mission has returned samples from the asteroid Bennu, revealing the presence of biologically essential sugars, including ribose and glucose, along with a unique gum-like substance never before seen in astromaterials. These findings, published in Nature Geoscience and Nature Astronomy, suggest that the building blocks for life were widespread throughout the early solar system. The discovery of ribose supports the RNA world hypothesis, indicating that RNA might have been the first genetic material. Additionally, the presence of glucose hints at the early energy sources available for life on Earth.Stars Defying the Black HoleAstronomers have observed numerous stars in stable orbits around Sagittarius A, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. This discovery, reported in Astronomy and Astrophysics, challenges previous assumptions that these objects were merely clouds of dust on a collision course with destruction. Instead, the new data from the ERIS Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph reveals a dynamic and stable environment around the black hole, providing a unique laboratory for studying interactions between black holes and stars.Martian Mystery Solved?A new radar technique employed by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has cast doubt on the existence of a suspected underground lake beneath the Martian South Pole ice cap. Initial signals that suggested the presence of liquid water have been reinterpreted as possibly being layers of rock and dust. This innovative approach opens new avenues for investigating subsurface resources on Mars, which could have significant implications for future exploration.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature GeoscienceNature AstronomyAstronomy and AstrophysicsGeophysical Research LettersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

S&P futures are slightly higher, up +0.1%, as investors await the Fed policy decision later today. Markets are largely pricing in a 25 bps rate cut, though analysts suggest the possibility of a hawkish cut, where the Fed could signal a higher threshold for further rate reductions through adjusted language. Multiple dissents are anticipated, reflecting both hawkish and dovish views within the committee. The dot plot is expected to remain unchanged, indicating 25 bps cuts projected for 2026 and 2027 respectively. Asian equities were mostly softer today, with modest losses seen in Japan, Korea, and Mainland China. European markets are also trading lower, with the German DAX leading losses.

Today's Headlines: Trump is reportedly gearing up for his first big firing of Term Two — and no, it's not Pete Hegseth or RFK Jr. The likely target is DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, because she's not deporting people fast enough for Grandpa Joffrey. Rumor is she'll be swapped out for Glenn Youngkin once he's done being Virginia's governor. Meanwhile, Alina Habba is officially out after her totally-not-real stint as U.S. attorney, Trump is still shielding Pete over that missing boat-strike video, and MTG is rebranding herself as “America First” — prompting Trump to call her a washed-up traitor. In Texas, Jasmine Crockett is in the Senate race, Colin Allred is out, and Democrats suddenly have… a plot twist. Trump and Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins dropped a $12B farm bailout to fix the tariff mess Trump created, because of course. Paramount is launching a hostile, Saudi- and Kushner-funded bid to snatch Warner Bros. Discovery away from Netflix — the messiest media custody battle imaginable. And finally, ABC renewed Jimmy Kimmel despite Trump rage-tweeting that he should be fired, even while Trump was busy giving himself a medal at the Kennedy Center Honors.

Special Guest Curt Tueffert www.peaksalesstrategy.com   Welcome back to Podcast Profits Unleashed — the show dedicated to helping coaches turn podcasting into a powerful client attraction system, whether you're behind the mic or showcasing your expertise as a guest. Today, I'm joined by sales leader, keynote speaker, and author Curt Tueffert, whose mission is simple: help people close more deals with confidence. His book, Five Stones for Slaying Giants, is built on the idea that, just like David and Goliath, we're all facing “giants” in our business — fear of selling, unclear messaging, or believing no one wants what we offer. Curt shares how these “stones” — Passion, Excellence, Vision, Value, and Confidence — become tools we can actually use to eliminate the inner blocks that keep us stuck. What I love most about Curt's approach is that he doesn't try to turn coaches into stereotypical pushy salespeople. Instead, he helps them become curious problem-solvers whose goal is understanding — not convincing. Using assessments like DISC and Sales IQ, Curt helps individuals and teams pinpoint where their confidence and communication skills need strengthening, then builds progress through small, repeatable wins. One of the biggest insights from this episode? Today's buyers are already far down the decision path before they ever speak to us. Technology and AI are handling the early research and comparisons — which means that when a prospect finally shows up, what they need most is a human conversation. Curt shows us how to leverage AI as a support tool — for prep and research — while relying on our emotional intelligence, listening skills, and trust-building to guide the sale across the finish line.   Key Takeaways: I realized that our biggest sales giant is often our own self-doubt — not the market or the competition. Shifting from transactional sales to consultative conversations is the real difference-maker. Discovery is the one step AI can't replace — human curiosity creates trust. Asking open-ended, behavior-aligned questions unlocks motivation and momentum. Your personal uniqueness — your voice, your story, your insight — is what helps you stand out in crowded markets. And before we wrap up, I share an important tip on how your podcast guest appearances become your long-term SEO digital footprint. You're going to want to use that!

Barbara Muschietti is the phenomenal producer behind IT Chapter One & Two (combined $1.17B worldwide), The Flash, and the new Max series IT: Welcome to Derry. We actually met 5 years ago during my early podcast grind when I cold-emailed Barbara inviting her on the show. She said yes! She invited me to the Warner Brothers lot, to her office, and generously gave me almost 3 hours of her time. It was a real turning point for me and the show. The world, and certainly Hollywood, has changed tremendously since then. Full disclosure: we recorded this mere days before the audacious news that Netflix won the bid to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery. Five years later, we're back. Barbara opens up about "pushing a very, very heavy boulder" aka the reality of making movies even as an established producer with billions in box office success. She talks about The Flash making $300 million worldwide and still being considered a disappointment. She gets raw about what she learned producing nine hours of IT: Welcome to Derry with child actors during the strikes. We also dig into the LA production crisis, why she still takes a photo of the Warner lot water tower every single morning, and she's terrified we might lose it. Enjoy xx cg   AOP SUBSTACK

El viernes pasado Netflix anunció un acuerdo para adquirir las divisiones de estudios de cine y televisión y el servicio de streaming HBO Max de Warner Bros por 72.000 millones de dólares, un importe que asciende a los 82.700 millones si incluimos la deuda. La transacción, en efectivo y acciones, valora cada acción de Warner Bros en 27,75 dólares, es decir, por encima de lo que se están pagando en el mercado. Esta operación, aprobada ya por los consejos de ambas compañías, se concretará tras la separación de los activos de redes de cable de Warner (CNN, TNT y Discovery Channel) que conformarán una nueva sociedad llamada Discovery Global. El acuerdo se materializará en unos meses cuando haya pasado el filtro regulatorio. El anuncio es un capítulo más una intensa batalla de ofertas iniciada en septiembre de este año, cuando Paramount Global, presidida por David Ellison, el hijo del dueño de Oracle, Larry Ellison, se ofreció a comprar la compañía en su totalidad. Respaldado por fondos soberanos de Oriente Medio y con lazos con la administración Trump, Paramount ofrecía 30 dólares por acción. Su objetivo era fortalecer Paramount+ sumándole el amplio catálogo de Warner para competir con gigantes como Disney y Netflix. Ellison no se ha dado por vencido. Ayer mismo lanzó una OPA hostil para tentar de nuevo a los accionistas. Si el acuerdo sigue su curso Netflix, pionera del streaming, se fortalecerá apuntalando su liderazgo. Se queda con Warner Bros. Studios, DC Comics, y franquicias legendarias como Harry Potter, Batman, Superman, Juego de Tronos, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Los Soprano, y clásicos como Casablanca y El Mago de Oz. HBO, fundada en 1972 como un canal premium de cable especializado en series y películas, aporta un archivo inmenso de más de 50 años de producción televisiva. Con presencia en todo el mundo, la fusión crearía una inmensa plataforma de video a la demanda ya que suma los 300 millones de suscriptores de Netflix a los 128 millones de HBO Max y Discovery+. Esto potenciará la retención de usuarios, permitirá reajustes de precios y afectará de lleno a la producción cinematográfica. El acuerdo plantea una serie de interrogantes regulatorios que podrían frustrar la operación. A eso mismo se agarra Paramount, que ha presionado intensamente en Washington acercándose al equipo de Trump. Para Netflix no está todo perdido. El regulador es independiente y ya en el pasado falló a favor de fusiones similares. El hecho es que en un mercado hipercompetitivo en el que Netflix se mantiene a la cabeza pero pierde terreno ante YouTube y Twitch (gratuitos y financiados con publicidad), esta fusión redefine el sector. En principio HBO Max se mantendrá, pero no sabemos durante cuanto tiempo y si seguirá explotando en exclusiva su catálogo. Para los consumidores se reduce el abanico de elección de plataforma y quizá suban los precios. En Hollywood, entretanto, asumen que la industria del entretenimiento es cosa ya de las grandes tecnológicas que poco a poco han terminado haciéndose dueñas de todo.
