Twenty-five years ago, President Bill Clinton stood before a podium in the East Room of the White House, and, in front of an all-star lineup of researchers and dignitaries, made a historic announcement: After years of painstaking work, scientists had created “the most important, most wondrous map ever produced by humankind” — the first-ever survey of the human genome.In his remarks, Clinton compared the achievement to the maps created by Lewis and Clark's expedition into the American West — but maybe a comparison to the space race would have been more accurate. Because, behind the scenes, the journey leading up to that day's announcement had been defined by nerve-wracking, cut-throat competition — a competition where every minute counted, and the future of scientific inquiry was at stake.On this encore episode, we look back at how what started as a scientific collaboration fractured into a bitter race to finish decoding the human genome. On one side was the federally funded Human Genome Project; on the other, a private start-up called Celera; and, in between, a raucous mashup of conflicting personalities, values, and ideas that would eventually help to transform science and medicine.

The downfall of Jes Staley traces back to his long-running professional and personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, which resurfaced publicly years after Epstein's crimes became widely known. While serving as CEO of Barclays, regulators began scrutinizing the extent to which Staley had been transparent about the relationship, including email contact that continued after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Staley initially characterized Epstein as a limited professional acquaintance, but subsequent disclosures—particularly emails referring to Epstein as a “trusted friend”—undermined that account and raised concerns about candor and judgment at the highest levels of the bank.In 2021, UK regulators concluded that Staley had mischaracterized the nature of his ties to Epstein, leading to his forced resignation from Barclays and a formal investigation into whether he had misled the board and regulators. The episode effectively ended Staley's career at the top tier of global banking and later followed him into litigation, including a lawsuit by JPMorgan Chase, where he had previously worked and overseen the Epstein relationship. Staley has argued that institutions used him as a scapegoat for broader failures, but the reputational damage proved decisive: his association with Epstein became inseparable from questions of credibility, oversight, and accountability—turning a once-powerful banking executive into one of the most prominent professional casualties of the Epstein scandal.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Scientists are beginning to understand that ageing is not simply a linear process and we age, according to recent research, in three accelerated bursts: at about 40, 60 and 80 years old. In this episode from July, Ian Sample talks to Stanford University's Prof Michael Snyder, who explains what the drivers of these bursts of ageing could be, and how they might be counteracted.

Silicon Bites Ep279 | 2025-12-22 | Moscow car bomb kills Lt Gen Fanil Sarvarov: the covert war moves deeper into Russia. At least most analysts are suggesting this was a hit by Ukraine's fearsome intelligence services. But was it? Sarvarov may have had many more enemies than Ukraine only. This was not a drone strike at the front. This is a car bomb in Moscow — an operation in the capital — taking out a serving Russian lieutenant general, in daylight, on a weekday morning. It's the latest sign that the war Russia started in Ukraine is now fully metastasising into a shadow conflict on Russian soil.----------Silicon Curtain is a part of the Christmas Tree Trucks 2025 campaign - an ambitious fundraiser led by a group of our wonderful team of information warriors raising 110,000 EUR for the Ukrainian army. https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/christmas-tree-trucks-2025-silicon-curtainThe Goal of the Campaign for the Silicon Curtain community:- 1 armoured battle-ready pickupWe are sourcing all vehicles around 2010-2017 or newer, mainly Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200, with low mileage and fully serviced.

Ladies and gentlemen… colleagues, critics, and confused bystanders — welcome to the most prestigious night in NIOA podcasting. Suits optional. Opinions mandatory. In this episode of NIOA Unloaded, we roll out the red carpet for the Unloaded Awards 2025 — celebrating the moments, people, products, and incidents that defined the year… for better or worse. From ideas that absolutely should not be repeated, to gear that genuinely raised the bar, and guests who somehow carried entire episodes while we nodded along — nothing (and no one) is safe from Academy judgement. Expect:

In this week's episode, both of our storytellers look back on moments that might have deserved a little more drama than they got at the time.Part 1: When Jess Nurse feels a throbbing pain in her gut, she chalks it up to heartbreak. Part 2: When Maryam Zaringhalam's physician mother goes in for brain surgery, everyone insists there's nothing to worry about.Jess Nurse is a Boston born, NYU graduate and Los Angeles transplant. Her writing career began at the tender age of eight when she wrote a play about a horse, hosted a play reading and no one came. Devastating. She's still working through it. An actor as well, she has guest starred on several TV shows (Quantum Leap, The Resident, Danger Force) and regularly pops up on the commercials of those shows. Very meta. Very multiverse. Jess wants to thank her superhero friends, her Mom and Dad, her sisters Lizzy and Becky and her sweet niece Feather who is already cuter than the cutest Pixar baby. For more of her face and funnies: @jessisnotanurse. Maryam Zaringhalam is a molecular biologist by training who traded in her pipettes for the world of science policy and advocacy. She's on a mission to make science more open and inclusive through her work both as a science communicator and policymaker. She's a Senior Producer for the Story Collider in DC and previously served as the Assistant Director for Public Access and Research Policy at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy from 2023 to 2024.

Art imitates life for Canadian actor Will Arnett (Arrested Development, BoJack Horseman) in “Is This Thing On?” — a new film about a middle-aged man at a crossroads. Will left Toronto for New York City right after school to pursue a career in acting. Instead of doing stand-up or sketch comedy, he studied the craft in hopes of becoming a dramatic actor. But then his obvious comedic ability steered him in a different direction. Will joins Tom Power to talk about circling back to that dream with his latest film, and why he tells director and co-star Bradley Cooper he loves him every day.

• Patriots lose, 35-31. First impressions. • Is this a wake-up call for this team? • The Patriots aren't there yet. They're not a fully-finished product. The journey from 4-13 to the Super Bowl is not a straight line. It'll have some detours. This could very well be one of them. • What is it like after a tough late-season loss? What are the challenges of responding to a defeat like that one? We revisit the Miami Miracle — not a great memory for Hogan — and everything that came after. • What impressed you the most about the Bills on Sunday? It was their resilience. • Hogan still has every hat and T-shirt he earned as a player. “Those are special, man.” • What about an AFC title game between the Bills and Patriots? “That would be pretty cool.” • “The refs need to get their head out of their ass.” • On Hogan being the keeper of the light at Gillette Stadium for a potential AFC title game between New England Buffalo. “I'll break the damn bell.” • On Baltimore-New England, and how the Ravens have been so consistent in their approach over the years. • The Patriots need to match that physicality and energy. “I want this team to come out flying around this game. … Just cut it loose.” • What's a successful season for the Patriots, given the fact that the expectations have changed so much for this team? “This is already a successful season for this team, regardless of what happens. …We've put New England back on the map.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Alexandra Light, choreographer, creative researcher, and former principal dancer with Texas Ballet Theater, joins me for a conversation that weaves together artistry, identity, and the evolution of a dancer's life. Her work has been shaped by residencies at places like Jacob's Pillow and often explores ecology, feminist history, and the body as a site of memory and transformation.At just 18, Alexandra moved into Houston Ballet's second company. She reflects on the intensity of that transition, the endurance it required, and the lifelong friendships formed during that pivotal year. She shares the lessons that helped her survive a full schedule of morning class followed by demanding rehearsals and how those habits shaped her professional resilience.For dancers who feel stronger as performers than technicians, Alexandra opens up about standing out in open calls despite feeling the same way early in her career. She walks through her progression from apprentice to principal dancer at Texas Ballet Theater, reminding us that careers are built on a blend of hard work, timing, luck, and the needs of a company.Alexandra also talks about recognizing the moment it was time to retire, a decision influenced by both intuition and logistics. Less than a year into retirement, she explains how shifting toward choreography was the biggest factor and why watching live ballet now fills her with excitement rather than longing.When asked to describe her choreography, Alexandra uses three striking words: expansive, dramatic, and curious. She shares how she builds work (from music-driven ideas to research-heavy processes) like her recent piece exploring the overlooked women who influenced Frank Lloyd Wright's success.We also discuss her commitment to making ballet more sustainable and accessible. Alexandra recounts a formative moment that drove her to create work for audiences who have never had access to ballet. She also opens up about sustaining her own creativity and the role nature plays in her artistic practice.This episode is rich with insight, honesty, and inspiration for dancers, dance lovers, and anyone navigating a creative path.Connect with Alexandra:Visit Alexandra's Website: https://www.alexandralight.art/Follow Alexandra on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/farbie/Links and Resources:Get your copy of The Ultimate Audition GuideSchedule your Complimentary Career Consultation: https://www.thebrainyballerina.com/career-mentoringLet's connect!My WEBSITE: thebrainyballerina.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebrainyballerinaQuestions/comments?

Sean Combs, better known as Puffy or P Diddy, is at the center of one of the most dramatic falls from grace in modern music culture, and the headlines keep coming. After a high‑profile federal trial in New York this year, outlets including LAist and CNN have detailed how prosecutors accused Combs of running a years‑long operation built around so‑called “freak‑offs,” with witnesses describing sex parties, drug‑fueled hotel scenes, and a culture of fear and control around the hip‑hop mogul. Jurors ultimately cleared him of sex trafficking and racketeering, but he was convicted on prostitution‑related transport charges and sentenced to just over four years in federal prison, a stunning moment for a man once synonymous with glossy excess and chart‑topping success.CBS News reports that inside prison, Combs has already faced disciplinary write‑ups, including punishment for allegedly trying to take part in a three‑way phone call, a violation of facility rules. He has been assigned to work in the prison chapel and is enrolled in a drug treatment program, a far cry from the red carpets, private jets, and VIP sections that defined his public life for decades.Outside those walls, the battle over his legacy is raging. Netflix's four‑part documentary “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” produced by longtime rival Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, has ignited intense debate. The Afro and other outlets describe how the series stitches together new behind‑the‑scenes footage, old industry rumors, and graphic allegations of abuse, painting Combs as both architect and beneficiary of a ruthless system that blended celebrity, power, and alleged predation. According to CNN and AOL, Combs' lawyers have fired back with a cease‑and‑desist letter, accusing Netflix and 50 Cent of using stolen footage and calling the series a biased hit piece.That fight now appears headed toward an even bigger stage. NoirOnline reports that Combs is preparing a $1 billion lawsuit against Netflix over the docuseries, signaling that even from prison he intends to wage war in civil court and in the court of public opinion. At the same time, IndiaTimes notes that his sons have remained publicly silent amid the uproar, declining to appear in the documentary despite conversations with producers, leaving listeners to wonder how they will navigate the weight of their father's name.For listeners who grew up on Bad Boy records and remember the shiny‑suit era, this moment feels like a reckoning not just for one man, but for a whole chapter of hip‑hop culture. Allegations once whispered in back rooms are now playing out on mainstream platforms, forcing fans, artists, and executives to reconsider what they looked away from and why.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Relentless Drive into Germany: Personal Loss Amid Victory — James Holland — Holland details the regiment's relentless mechanized push into Germany, from the destructive Operation Veritable through the dramatic Rhine Rivercrossing, chronicling the escalating tempo of combat operations. Holland illustrates the war's profound personal costs through the tragedy of Stuart Hills, who experienced overwhelming grief over the death of his closest friend Dennis Elmore merely weeks before German capitulation, embodying the devastating human consequences of protracted warfare. Holland juxtaposes moments of lingering humanity and compassion against the mechanized brutality of tank warfare, documenting how soldiers maintained moral and emotional resilience despite systematic exposure to death and destruction.

Jean-Luc Brunel's downfall was long, slow, and ultimately terminal, shaped by years of mounting allegations that finally caught up with him once Jeffrey Epstein's empire collapsed into public view. As a French modeling agent with deep ties to Epstein, Brunel had been accused for decades by multiple women of sexual assault, rape, and trafficking under the guise of modeling opportunities, often involving minors. For years, those accusations lingered in the shadows—reported, dismissed, settled quietly, or stalled by jurisdictional inertia—while Brunel continued operating within elite fashion and social circles. That insulation cracked after Epstein's 2019 arrest and death, which forced renewed scrutiny onto his inner circle and revived allegations that had never been fully resolved. French prosecutors reopened investigations, survivors came forward in greater numbers and with greater confidence, and Brunel's role shifted from background enabler to central target.In 2020, Brunel was arrested in France and charged with multiple counts including rape of a minor and sexual assault, marking a definitive end to the protection his proximity to wealth and power had once afforded him. He was held in pretrial detention while investigators worked through a sprawling case built on survivor testimony spanning decades and continents, a stark reversal from the impunity he had previously enjoyed. In February 2022, before any trial could begin, Brunel was found dead in his prison cell in what authorities ruled a suicide, bringing legal proceedings to an abrupt halt but not erasing the weight of the allegations against him. His death closed the door on courtroom accountability but underscored a broader truth of the Epstein saga: that many of the men who operated inside that world relied on delay, denial, and institutional fatigue as shields—and that even when those shields finally failed, full justice remained elusive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In February 2022, before any trial could begin, Brunel was found dead in his prison cell in what authorities ruled a suicide, bringing legal proceedings to an abrupt halt but not erasing the weight of the allegations against him. His death closed the door on courtroom accountability but underscored a broader truth of the Epstein saga: that many of the men who operated inside that world relied on delay, denial, and institutional fatigue as shields—and that even when those shields finally failed, full justice remained elusive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Nearly 70% of U.S. adults now qualify as obese under a new definition that goes beyond body mass index (BMI) to include waist and hip measurements, exposing millions with hidden fat linked to higher disease risk The new standard, developed by an international panel and endorsed by dozens of medical organizations, identifies both clinical obesity — where fat is already harming organs — and preclinical obesity, where fat-driven dysfunction is just beginning Using the expanded criteria, researchers found a 60% surge in obesity prevalence, revealing that about 1 in 4 adults were reclassified as obese — mostly from the overweight group — while roughly 1 in 17 with a "normal" BMI carried hidden visceral fat that raises the risk for diabetes, heart disease, and early death BMI alone fails to distinguish between fat and muscle or between safe subcutaneous fat and harmful visceral fat, meaning many healthy people are misclassified while those at real metabolic risk go undiagnosed Measuring your waist-to-hip or waist-to-height ratio provides a far clearer picture of your metabolic health, empowering you to take early action — through healthy eating, reduced toxin exposure, and daily movement — to restore energy and prevent chronic disease

The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round. Join us.WhoLonie Glieberman, Founder, Owner, & President of Mount Bohemia, MichiganRecorded onNovember 19, 2025About Mount BohemiaClick here for a mountain stats overviewOwned by: Lonie GliebermanLocated in: Lac La Belle, MichiganYear founded: 2000, by LoniePass affiliations: NoneReciprocal partners: Boho has developed one of the strongest reciprocal pass programs in the nation, with lift tickets to 34 partner mountains. To protect the mountain's more distant partners from local ticket-hackers, those ski areas typically exclude in-state and border-state residents from the freebies. Here's the map:And here's the Big Dumb Storm Chart detailing each mountain and its Boho access:Closest neighboring ski areas: Mont Ripley (:50)Base elevation: 624 feetSummit elevation: 1,522 feetVertical drop: 898 feetSkiable acres: 585Average annual snowfall: 273 inchesTrail count: It's hard to say exactly, as Boho adds new trails every year, and its map is one of the more confusing ones in American skiing, both as you try analyzing it on this screen, and as you're actually navigating the mountain. My advice is to not try too hard to make the trailmap make sense. Everything is skiable with enough snow, and no matter what, you're going to end up back at one of the two chairlifts or the road, where a shuttlebus will come along within a few minutes.Lift count: 2 (1 triple, 1 double)Why I interviewed himFor those of us who lived through a certain version of America, Mount Bohemia is a fever dream, an impossible thing, a bantered-about-with-friends-in-a-basement-rec-room-idea that could never possibly be. This is because we grew up in a world in which such niche-cool things never happened. Before the internet spilled from the academic-military fringe into the mainstream around 1996, We The Commoners fed our brains with a subsistence diet of information meted out by institutional media gatekeepers. What I mean by “gatekeepers” is the limited number of enterprises who could afford the broadcast licenses, printing presses, editorial staffs, and building and technology infrastructure that for decades tethered news and information to costly distribution mechanisms.In some ways this was a better and more reliable world: vetted, edited, fact-checked. Even ostensibly niche media – the Electronic Gaming Monthly and Nintendo Power magazines that I devoured monthly – emerged from this cubicle-in-an-office-tower Process that guaranteed a sober, reality-based information exchange.But this professionalized, high-cost-of-entry, let's-get-Bob's-sign-off-before-we-run-this, don't-piss-off-the-advertisers world limited options, which in turn limited imaginations – or at least limited the real-world risks anyone with money was willing to take to create something different. We had four national television networks and a couple dozen cable channels and one or two local newspapers and three or four national magazines devoted to niche pursuits like skiing. We had bookstores and libraries and the strange, ephemeral world of radio. We had titanic, impossible-to-imagine-now big-box chain stores ordering the world's music and movies into labelled bins, from which shoppers could hope – by properly interpreting content from box-design flare or maybe just by luck – to pluck some soul-altering novelty.There was little novelty. Or at least, not much that didn't feel like a slightly different version of something you'd already consumed. Everything, no matter how subversive its skin, had to appeal to the masses, whose money was required to support the enterprise of content creation. Pseudo-rebel networks such as ESPN and MTV quickly built global brands by applying the established institutional framework of network television to the mainstream-but-information-poor cultural centerpieces of sports and music.This cultural sameness expressed itself not just in media, but in every part of life: America's brand-name sprawl-ture (sprawl culture) of restaurants and clothing stores and home décor emporia; its stuff-freeways-through-downtown ruining of our great cities; its three car companies stamping out nondescript sedans by the millions.Skiing has long acted as a rebel's escape from staid American culture, but it has also been hemmed in by it. Yes, said Skiing Incorporated circa 1992, we can allow a photo of some fellow jumping off a cliff if it helps convince Nabisco Bob fly his family out to Colorado for New Year's, so long as his family is at no risk of actually locating any cliffs to jump off of upon arrival. After all, 1992 Bob has no meaningful outlet through which to highlight this advertising-experience disconnect. The internet broke this whole system. Everywhere, for everything. If I wanted, say, a Detroit Pistons hoodie in 1995, I had to drive to a dozen stores and choose the least-bad version from the three places that stocked them. Today I have far more choice at far less hassle: I can browse hundreds of designs online without leaving the house. Same for office furniture or shoes or litterboxes or laundry baskets or cars. And especially for media and information. Consumer choice is greater not only because the internet eliminated distance, but also because it largely eliminated the enormous costs required to actualize a tangible thing from the imagination.There were trade-offs, of course. Our current version of reality has too many options, too many poorly made products, too much bad information. But the internet did a really good job of democratizing preferences and uniting dispersed communities around niche interests. Yes, this means that a global community of morons can assemble over their shared belief that the planet is flat, but it also means that legions of Star Wars or Marvel Comics or football obsessives can unite to demand more of these specific things. I don't think it's a coincidence that the dormant Star Wars and Marvel franchises rebooted in spectacular, omnipresent fashion within a decade of the .com era's dawn.The trajectory was slightly different in skiing. The big-name ski areas today are largely the same set of big-name ski areas that we had 30 years ago, at least in America (Canada is a very different story). But what the internet helped bring to skiing was an awareness that the desire for turns outside of groomed runs was not the hyper-specific desire of the most dedicated, living-in-a-campervan-with-their-dog skiers, but a relatively mainstream preference. Established ski areas adapted, adding glades and terrain parks and ungroomed zones. The major ski areas of 2025 are far more interesting versions of the ski areas that existed under the same names in 1995.Dramatic and welcome as these additions were, they were just additions. No ski area completely reversed itself and shut out the mainstream skier. No one stopped grooming or eliminated their ski school or stopped renting gear. But they did act as something of a proof-of-concept for minimalist ski areas that would come online later, including avy-gear-required, no-grooming Silverton, Colorado in 2001, and, at the tip-top of the American Midwest, in a place too remote for anyone other than industrial mining interests to bother with, the ungroomed, snowmaking-free Mount Bohemia.I can't draw a direct line between the advent of the commercial internet and the rise of Mount Bohemia as a successful niche business within a niche industry. But I find it hard to imagine one without the other. The pre-internet world, the one that gave us shopping malls and laugh-track sitcoms and standard manual transmissions, lacked the institutional imagination to actualize skiing's most dynamic elements in the form of a wild and remote pilgrimage site. Once the internet ordered fringe freeskiing sentiments into a mainstream coalition, the notion of an extreme ski area seemed inevitable. And Bohemia, without a basically free global megaphone to spread word of its improbable existence, would struggle to establish itself in a ski industry that dismissed the concept as idiotic and with a national ski media that considered the Midwest irrelevant.Even with the internet, Boho took a while to catch on, as Lonie detailed in his first podcast appearance three years ago. It probably took the mainstreaming of social media, starting around 2008, to really amp up the online echo-sphere and help skiers understand this gladed, lake-effect-bombed kingdom at the end of the world.Whatever drove Boho's success, that success happened. This is a good, stable business that proved that ski areas do not have to cater to all skiers to be viable. But those of us who wanted Bohemia before it existed still have a hard time believing that it does. Like superhero movies or video-calls or energy drinks that aren't coffee, Boho is a thing we could, in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, easily imagine but just as easily dismiss as fantasy.Fortunately, our modern age of invention and experimentation includes plenty of people who dismiss the dismissers, who see things that don't exist yet and bring them into our world. And one of the best contributions to skiing to emerge from this age is Mount Bohemia.What we talked aboutSeason pass price and access changes; lifetime and two-year season passes; a Disney-ski comparison that isn't negative; when your day ticket costs as much as your season pass; Lonie's dog makes a cameo; not selling lift tickets on Saturdays; “too many companies are busy building a brand that no one will hate, versus a brand that someone will love”; why it's OK to have some people be angry with you; UP skiing's existential challenge; skiing's vibe shift from competition to complementary culture; the Midwest's advanced-skier problem; Boho's season pass reciprocal program; why ski areas survive; the Keweenaw snow stake and Boho's snowfall history; recent triple chair improvements and why Boho didn't fully replace the chair – “it's basically a brand-new chairlift”; a novel idea for Boho's next new chairlift; the Nordic spa; proposed rezoning drama; housing at the end of the world; could Mount Bohemia have a Mad River Glen co-op-style future?; why the pass deadline really is the pass deadline; and Mount Bohemia TV.What I got wrong* I said that Boho's one-day lift ticket was “$89 or $92” last time Lonie joined me on the pod, in fall, 2022. The one-day cost for the 2022-23 ski season was $87.* I said that Powder Mountain, Utah, may extend their no-lift-ticket-sales-on-Saturdays-and-Sundays-in-February policy, which the mountain rolled out last year, to other dates, but their sales calendar shows just eight restricted dates (one of which is Sunday, March 1), which is the same number as last winter.Why you should ski Mount BohemiaI can't add anything useful to this bit that I wrote a few months back:Or didn't say three years ago, around my first Boho pod:Podcast NotesOn Boho's season passOn Lonie's LibraryA Boho podcast will always come loaded with some Lonie Library recommendations. In this episode, we get The Power of Cult Branding by Mattew W. Ragas and Bolivar J. Bueno and The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding by Al Ries and Laura Ries.On Raising Cane'sLonie tells us about a restaurant called Raising Cane's that sells nothing but chicken fingers. Because I have this weird way of sometimes not noticing super-obvious things, I'd never heard of the place. But apparently they have 900-ish locations, including several here in NYC. I'm sure you already know this.On Jimmy BuffettThen again I'm sometimes overly attuned to things that I think everyone knows about, like Jimmy Buffett. Probably most people are aware of his Margaritaville-headlined music catalog, but perhaps not the Boomers-Gone-Wild Parrothead energy of his concerts, which were mass demonstrations of a uniquely American weirdness that's impossible to believe in unless you see it:I don't know if I'd classify this spectacle as sports for people who don't like sports or anthropological proof that mass coordinated niche crowd-dancing predates the advent of TikTok, but I hope this video reaches the aliens first and they decide not to bother.On “when we spoke in Milwaukee”This was the second time I've interviewed Lonie recently. The first was in front of an audience at the Snowvana ski show in Milwaukee last month. We did record that session, and it was different enough from this pod to justify releasing – I just don't have a timeline on when I'll do that yet. Here's the preview article that outlined the event:On Lonie operating the Porcupine Mountains ski areaI guess you can make anything look rad. Porcupine Mountains ski area, as presented today under management of the State of Michigan's Department of Natural Resources:The same ski area under Lonie's management, circa 2011:On the owner of Song and Labrador, New York buying and closing nearby Toggenburg ski areaOn Indy's fight with Ski CooperI wrote two stories on this, each of which subtracted five years from my life. The first:The follow-up:On Snow Snake, Apple Mountain, and Mott Mountain ski areasThese three Mid-Michigan ski areas were so similar it was frightening – the only thing I can conclude from the fact that Snow Snake is the only one left is that management trumps pretty much everything when it comes to which ski areas survive:On Crystal Mountain, Michigan versus Sugar Loaf, MichiganI noted that 1995 Stu viewed Sugar Loaf as a “more interesting” ski area than contemporary Crystal. It's important to note that this was pre-expansion Crystal, before the ski area doubled in size with backside terrain. Here are the Crystal versus Sugar Loaf trailmaps of that era:I discussed all of this with Crystal CEO John Melcher last year:On Thunder Mountain and Walloon HillsLonie mentions two additional lost Michigan ski areas: Thunder Mountain and Walloon Hills. The latter, while stripped of its chairlifts, still operates as a nonprofit called Challenge Mountain. Here's what it looked like just before shuttering as a public ski area in 1978:The responsible party here was nearby Boyne, which bought both Walloon and Thunder in 1967. They closed the latter in 1984:The company now known as Boyne Resorts purchased a total of four Michigan ski areas after Everett Kircher founded Boyne Mountain in 1948, starting with The Highlands in 1963. That ski area remains open, but Boyne also owned the 436-vertical foot ski area alternately known as “Barn Mountain” and “Avalanche Peak” from 1972 to '77. I can't find a trailmap of this one, but here's Boyne's consolidation history:On Nub's Nob and The HighlandsWhen I say that Nub's Nob and Boyne's Highlands ski area are right across the street from each other, I mean they really are:Both are excellent ski areas - two of the best in the entire Midwest.On Granite Peak's evolution under Midwest Family Ski ResortsI've written about this a lot, but check out Granite Peak AKA “Rib Mountain” before the company now known as Midwest Family Ski Resorts purchased it in 2000:And today:And it's just like “what you're allowed to do that?”On up-and-over chairliftsBohemia may replace its double chair with a rare up-and-over machine, which would extend along the current line to the summit, and then continue to the bottom of Haunted Valley, effectively functioning as two chairlifts. Lonie explains the logic in the podcast, but if he succeeds here, this would be the first new up-and-over lift built in the United States since Stevens Pass' Double Diamond-Southern Cross machine in 1987. I'm only aware of four other such machines in America, all of them in the Midwest:Little Switzerland recently revealed plans to replace the machine that makes up the 1 and 2 chairlifts with two separate quads next year.On Boho's Nordic SpaI never thought hot tubs and parties and happiness were controversial. Then along came social media. And it turns out that when a ski area that primarily markets itself as a refuge for hardcore skiers also builds a base-area zone for these skiers to sink into another sort of indulgence at day's end and then promotes these features, it make Angry Ski Bro VERY ANGRY.For most of human existence we had incentives to prevent ostentatious attention-seeking whining about peripheral things that had no actual impact on your life, and that incentive was Not Wanting To Get Your Ass Kicked. But some people interpreted the distance and anonymity of the internet as a permission slip to become the worst versions of themselves. And so we have a dedicated corps of morons trolling Boho's socials with chest-thumping proclamations of #RealSkierness that rage against the $18 Nordic Spa fee taped onto each Boho $99 or $112 season pass.But when you go to Boho, what you see is this:And these people do not look angry. Because they are doing something fun and cool. Which is one more reason that I stopped reading social media comments several years ago and decided to base reality on living in it rather than observing it through my Pet Rectangle.On the Mad River Glen Co-Op and Betsy PrattSo far, the only successful U.S. ski area co-op is Mad River Glen, Vermont. Longtime owner Betsy Pratt orchestrated the transformation in 1995. She passed away in 2023 at age 95, giving her lots of years to watch the model endure. Black Mountain, New Hampshire, is in the midst of a similar transformation. On Mount Bohemia TVBoho is a strange, strange universe. Nothing better distills the mountain's essence than Mount Bohemia TV – I mean that in the literal sense, in that each episode immerses you in this peculiar world, but also in an accidental quirk of its execution. Because the video staff keeps, in Lonie's words, “losing the password,” Mount Bohemia has at least four official YouTube channels, each of which hosts different episodes of Mount Bohemia TV.Here's episodes 1, 2, and 3:4 through 15:16 through 20:And 21 and 22:If anyone knows how to sort this out, I'm sure they'd appreciate the assist.

It's Wednesday, December 3rd, and Norm is just wondering why the NFL insists on giving us a Thursday night matchup between two teams clinging to the playoff picture like a wet paper towel on a ceiling fan. Cowboys vs. Lions: one has momentum, the other has medical bills. One's getting healthier, the other's putting half their offense on IR. And yes—both somehow still have a shot at the postseason.Norm breaks down just how desperate this “Survival Bowl” really is, why Detroit looks like a MASH unit, and why Dallas might accidentally stumble into relevance again. Then he pivots to the SEC, where Lane Kiffin is doing what Lane Kiffin always does: saying his “heart” is in Oxford while packing his bags for Baton Rouge and taking half the campus with him. Prayer? Please. Kiffin made his mind up before the postgame Gatorade dried.It's snark, it's football, it's Norm not buying a single ounce of coach-speak.

4/4. The Perilous Return and Legacy of OSIRIS-REx — Dante Lauretta — The sample return capsule executed its descent over the Utah desert with dramatic complications. Critical anxiety ensued when the drogue parachute failed to deploy at the nominal 100,000 feet altitude, invoking memories of the Genesis mission mishap. The primary main parachute deployed successfully at 60,000 feet, confirming mission success and sample integrity. The spacecraft, subsequently rebranded OSIRIS-APEX, is now en route to asteroid Apophis, now under the leadership of Danny Dea Justina, carrying forward Lauretta's legacy of developing emerging scientific leaders and advancing planetary science exploration capabilities.

In this episode, Connery DeHuff co-hosts and dives into some absurd and hilarious stories. The guys discuss bizarre things people have been caught stealing, including a whole stash of beef sticks (which Connery can totally relate to). Then, they shift gears to supermodel Kathy Ireland, who's taking on an unexpected new career—commercial fishing!
