Most women think they need to lose weight to change their body… but what they actually want is body recomposition.In this episode of the Gym Confidence Series, we're breaking down what body recomp actually means, why strength training changes your shape, and why the “toned” look so many women want actually comes from building muscle - not starving yourself or doing endless cardio.I also talk about the difference between fat loss and muscle building, why the scale is not the full picture, and how so many women are chasing smaller bodies instead of stronger, healthier, more sustainable results. I also explain maintenance calories, calorie deficits, beginner muscle growth, and why consistency matters so much more than extremes.This episode is all about helping you understand what is ACTUALLY happening inside your body when you start lifting weights, eating enough protein, and training consistently … without overcomplicating the process (of course!)In this episode, we cover:what body recomposition actually iswhat “toned” really meanswhy muscle changes your body shapewhy strength training matters for womenmaintenance calories explained simplycalorie deficits without extremeswhy beginners often see faster progressthe biggest mistakes women make with fat losswhy consistency beats crash dieting every timeLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

If building your own workouts feels confusing, random, or overwhelming… this episode is for you. A lot of people think they need more complicated workouts, more exercises, more sweat, or a “perfect” plan to see results. In reality - most people are overcomplicating fitness and making it way harder than it needs to be.In this episode of the Gym Confidence Series, we're breaking down how workouts actually work and how to structure your workouts in a way that makes sense. I'm explaining the foundational movement patterns most programs are built around, the difference between compound and isolation exercises, and why consistency matters more than constantly switching workouts every week.We also talk about workout splits, training volume, intensity, progressive overload, and recovery … without making it feel like a boring fitness textbook. Most importantly, I walk you through what this can ACTUALLY look like as a beginner so you stop feeling like you need to know everything before you start.There are MANY ways to build a workout for different people and different goals. This episode covers the basics which will help you build confidence - you can always modify later!In this episode, we cover:how workouts should be structuredthe difference between compound and isolation exerciseswhat volume + intensity + progressive overload meanwhy recovery matters more than people thinkhow to stop overcomplicating your workoutswhat to do when you walk into the gymwhy consistency beats “perfect” workouts every timeLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Walking into the gym can feel intimidating when you don't know what anything does. Between the machines, dumbbells, barbells, cable stations and cardio equipment… it's easy to feel overwhelmed before you even start. A lot of women avoid the gym completely - not because they aren't capable - but because they feel like everyone else knows something they don't.In this episode of the Gym Confidence Series, we're breaking down the basics of gym equipment in a way that actually makes sense. I'm walking you through the most common equipment you'll see in the gym, what it's used for, and why you absolutely do NOT need to know how to use every single machine to get results.We talk about the difference between machines, dumbbells, barbells, cables and how to choose them for your workouts. I also explain why most people are massively overcomplicating fitness, how confidence in the gym actually comes from repetition, and why nobody is paying nearly as much attention to you as you think they are!If you've ever walked into the gym and immediately wanted to turn around and leave… this episode is for you. The goal of this series is simple: unf*ck the confusion and help you feel more confident every time you walk into the gym.In this episode, we cover:the difference between machines, dumbbells, barbells, and cableswhy machines are NOT “less effective”what compound movements actually arehow to stop overcomplicating your workoutswhy confidence in the gym comes from repetition, not perfectionhow to stop feeling like everyone is watching you at the gymLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Have you ever opened a workout and thought, “Okay… what the hell does that mean!?” Same. And honestly, this is exactly why I wanted to record this episode.This is the first episode in The Gym Confidence Series, where we are going to unf*ck the confusion around workouts, nutrition, and what it actually takes to see results.Let's be real: the gym can already feel intimidating enough and then you add in terms like RPE, reps in reserve, progressive overload, tempo, AMRAP, supersets, time under tension, and suddenly it feels like you need a fitness dictionary just to get through your workout.You deserve to understand what these terms mean so you can stop second guessing yourself and start walking into your workouts with more confidence.In this episode, I'm breaking down the gym lingo you actually need to know. Not the random overcomplicated stuff. Not the fitness bro language that makes everything feel harder than it needs to be. Just the terms that will help you understand your workouts, execute them better, and feel more confident in the gym.In this episode, we cover:What sets, reps, tempo, and rest time meanHow workouts are structured with straight sets, supersets, circuits, and intervalsHow to understand workout intensity using RPE, reps in reserve, and failureWhy progressive overload is key for building muscle and seeing resultsWhat volume and deload weeks areCommon workout terms like AMRAP, drop sets, warm-up sets, and working setsWhy execution matters inside your workoutWhat time under tension, mind-muscle connection and range of motion meanLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

More new pilots, more flying hours, and fewer accidents—that's the positive picture EAA's Tom Charpentier sees when he looks at the latest FAA numbers. He shares how to be an optimist about aviation, why the 1970s are not a fair comparison, and what issues could disrupt the current growth cycle. Tom is deeply involved in EAA's regulatory work, and he explains the importance of FAA orders and what to expect from MOSAIC. In the Ready to Copy segment, Tom talks about his favorite part of AirVenture, flying the Cessna 170, and wilderness canoeing.SHOW LINKS:* EAA Green Dot podcast: https://www.eaa.org/eaa/news-and-publications/eaa-news-and-aviation-news/eaa-the-green-dot-podcast* Article: “How Safe Is It?” https://inspire.eaa.org/2017/05/11/how-safe-is-it/* PJ2 GPS Radio: https://sportys.com/PJ2GPS

I am so excited to feature one one of my Unf*ck Your Fitness clients, Julie, to talk about her fitness journey over the last three years!Julie came to me feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, underfed, and stuck. She had recently changed jobs, was navigating a new ulcerative colitis diagnosis, had gained weight, and knew she wanted to feel like herself again…but she had no idea where to start.We talk about what it felt like for her to learn macros, reverse diet, start strength training, and finally understand that body recomposition is not a quick fix. It took time, trust, consistency, and a lot of mindset work.Julie shares what helped her most, how she learned to stop chasing perfection, why the scale and progress pictures were so frustrating, and how she has lost around 30 pounds while building muscle, confidence, and a completely different relationship with fitness.This is such an honest conversation about what real change actually looks like:  the messy beginning, the slow progress, the hard weeks, the mindset shifts, and the moment you realize you are not the same person anymore.In this episode, we cover:What it was like to reverse diet after barely eating enoughWhy body recomposition takes timeHow long it took her to start noticing changesWhy the scale and progress pictures can feel so frustratingWhat helped her move away from all-or-nothing thinkingHow macros gave her more flexibility and confidenceNavigating fitness while dealing with real-life health issuesWhat has changed physically, mentally, and emotionallyLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

In this Q&A episode, I'm answering some of the questions you have sent in recently, and we are covering a little bit of everything.We talk about what I personally use for bloating and gut support, the smart scales I've used, and the app I use regularly for tracking food and macros. I also share what my deload weeks look like, especially because I do have to train a little differently and really pay attention to what my body needs.We also get into glute growth…because no, you do not have to only train lower body if you want your glutes to grow. But you do need to train them intentionally. I break down the difference between working your glutes in lengthened and shortened positions and why both matter if you want continued progress.And of course, we cover some of the bigger questions too: recovery, intermittent fasting, “fat-burning mode,” and my honest thoughts on GLP-1s.As always, the goal is to help you cut through the noise, understand what actually matters, and build a body and lifestyle that feels strong, sustainable, and supportive.In this episode, we cover:The prebiotic/probiotic supplement I use for bloatingThe smart scales I have used and recommendWhat my deload weeks look like and why I listen to my bodyHow to train for continued glute growthWhy “fat-burning mode” from intermittent fasting is overhypedThe truth about fasting windows and fat lossMy honest, unfiltered thoughts on GLP-1sLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterDebloat : Code: KRISTYCASTILLOFITRenpho Smart Scale SHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Use code AGENCY171 Dear WLS Question from Beefa King Your Mom I just put together an AR10 in .308 and would like to take it hunting for pronghorn out in Colorado. I threw a 1-6 LPVO on it so I could take it to the range but do you think I should upgrade optics? Question from Keith M WINNER Form 1 question, when the atf asks for photos for a suppressor build is it of raw materials or what ? Appreciate y'all and enjoy listening , makes the work day go by faster& annoys the libtards Question from Jason L First off, which Gideon optic would you recommend for a 43X? Secondly, my 12yo son wants to get into USPSA shooting. Should we do it and if we should, any advice? Question from KY Horseman from KY Dear WLS KY Horseman Thinking about getting a Henry Supreme. What do y'all think about them? Not sure whether to get 300 blackout or 556 version. Would use it for hunting some but mostly a range toy. Maybe get a suppressor for it in the future. I was leaning towards the 556 version since I already have a stock pile of 556 ammo. What do y'all think? Thanks KY Horseman Question from Ken G. from Virginia Ask WLS: I believe local gun shops are critical to the protection of the second amendment. It seems that online sales are hurting my local shops that don't have a range attached for revenue. Is there a national association that supports and protects independent dealers from unfair trade practices? I recently read about the Robinson-Patman Act. It seems like a well established group could use this act to end the unfair pricing that makes it difficult for small businesses to compete. Ken G.

In this episode, I'm talking about why obsessing over the end result can actually pull you further away from the progress you want. I see this so often with my clients.Obsessing over the end result and not focusing enough on the small wins or daily tasks.It is good to have goals. It is good to have a vision and a plan. But so often, we get so focused on where we want to be that we lose sight of what actually gets us there: the actions we take today.Real progress is not built in one perfect week or one big breakthrough moment. It is built in the small choices, habits, and decisions that happen over and over again.This is your reminder that you do not need to have the whole journey figured out today. You do not need to be at the end already. You just need to stay focused on what is in front of you, keep showing up and keep distractions minimal.If you have been overthinking your progress, putting too much pressure on the outcome, or struggling to stay present in your journey, this episode will help you come back to what actually matters: today.In this episode, we cover:Why goals matter, but daily action is what creates resultsHow body recomposition and lasting progress are built one day at a timeWhy obsessing over the finish line can leave you overwhelmed or disconnected from the processHow social media can pull you out of the present moment and make you question your own pathHow to come back to the next right step and trust what you are buildingLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymJoin PRIVATE COACHING, my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Not all workouts are built the same - and if your goal is body recomposition, that matters.In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between straight sets, supersets, and circuits so you can better understand what each one is, what each one is good for, and how they actually impact your results.A lot of women have been taught to think that the “best” workout is the one that leaves you the most sweaty, out of breath, and exhausted. But harder is not always smarter, especially when your goal is to build muscle, get stronger, and change your body composition.I'm also sharing how I use these different training styles inside my UFYF: Fit Club, and why workout structure should always match the goal.If you've ever wondered why some workouts feel more strength-focused, why others move faster, or whether circuits are “bad” for body recomposition… this episode will help clear it up.In this episode, we cover:What straight sets, supersets, and circuits actually areWhat each workout style is best used forWhich structure tends to work best for body recompWhy ‘sweaty and exhausted' does not automatically mean effectiveHow I use these methods inside Fit ClubLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymJoin PRIVATE COACHING, my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

If taking a rest day makes you feel guilty, anxious, or like you're going to lose progress… this episode is for you.In this episode, I'm talking about the mindset shift I had to make around rest days, recovery, and what actually helps your body change. I used to believe taking a day off would make me gain weight, lose momentum, or somehow fall behind. A rest day meant that “I failed the plan” A lot of that came from the fitness culture I was around at the time, where doing more was always praised and rest felt like laziness.But when I got serious about truly changing how my body looked, I learned something big: progressive overload and recovery go together. Training is the stimulus, but recovery is where your body adapts. If your goal is muscle growth, strength, and body recomposition, rest is not optional - it's part of the process.In this episode, I break down what changed for me, why so many women struggle to rest, and how sleep and recovery actually support your progress.Episode Recap:Why I used to think taking a day off would ruin my progressHow old fitness culture shaped my beliefs around restThe mindset shift that changed how I approached trainingWhy progressive overload and recovery go hand in handHow your body recovers and adapts after trainingWhat rest days can look like in real lifeWhy rest is not lazy - it's part of the planLinks/Resources:Join the Spring Mini-ChallengeGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymJoin PRIVATE COACHING, my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Industrial robotics company, FANUC, was the only Japanese company named in the Albanese report on Israel's “economy of genocide.” This week on CounterPunch Radio, we speak with members of BDS Japan Bulletin and Detroit-based Engineers Against Apartheid to understand the role that FANUC robots play in the production of 155mm shells, one of the primary weapons used in the genocide in Gaza, and the complicated nature of robots as “dual-use” products — with both civilian and military application. BDS Japan discusses automation and how AI fits into Japan's current right-wing political climate, while EAA addresses the militarization of Michigan's manufacturing sector and how workers in the automotive industry are organizing against it. The post Battling Killer Robots w/ BDS Japan Bulletin & Engineers Against Apartheid appeared first on CounterPunch.org.

Why do so many diets seem to work at first… but still leave women stuck?In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between following food rules and actually understanding nutrition. From Beachbody containers to Weight Watchers points and other simplified diet systems, I'm talking about why these methods can create short-term results while failing to teach women what their body truly needs long-term.I'm also sharing a personal realization I had while measuring food and looking at nutrition labels — and how understanding calories, macros, portions, and protein changes everything when your goal is real body change.If you are tired of bouncing between plans, feeling “good” only when you are on a diet, and starting over every time a program ends, this episode is for you.Episode Recap:Why diets work in the short term but fail in the long termMy experience with Beachbody containers and what they did not teach meHow Weight Watchers points and other diet systems do the same thingWhy following food rules is not the same as understanding nutritionWhy calories, macros, portions, and protein matter for body goalsThe difference between structure, education, and true food confidenceLinks/Resources:Join the Spring Mini-ChallengeGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to my other podcast: Girls with OpinionsJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Kiley Allan visits with Extension Conservation and Nutrient Specialist Kevin Erb about manure handling safety. Did you know over half of manure-handling accidents occur on the road? More than half of those accidents happen at intersections because of speed, taking corners too sharply, or failing to account for the liquid sloshing in the tank. Ag meteorologist Stu Muck says showers and a cool front are expected today before we get back to a warm, dry weekend. April showers are expected next week. The 64th WPS Farm Show at the EAA grounds has seen a strong turnout of visitors and exhibitors, serving as a vital "reunion" for the agribusiness community. Spokesman Matt Cullen highlights the event's success! Today is the final day, and it includes free admission. The Wisconsin Soybean Program has donated an innovative, PFAS-free firefighting foam to the Fitchburg Fire Department. Ben Jarboe talks to Director Jonathon Gibbs and Fire Chief Scott Sarver about the safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemicals. Katie Burgess, a dairy broker and analyst with Ever.Ag, says recent reports indicate that U.S. cow numbers have reached their highest levels since the early 1990s, yet dairy markets remain bolstered by a slower-than-average growth in cheese and butter inventories and strong export demand. As European cheese prices climb, the U.S. market has followed suit, pushing Class III milk prices to new life-of-contract highs for the second half of the year. This surge in pricing presents a strategic opportunity for producers to manage price risk while the market sits at these elevated levels.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is enormous heterogeneity in clinical outcomes and severity of septic shock, with some patients needing only supportive care in the ICU and others progressing to multiorgan system failure and death. How can clinicians identify patients at higher risk of death? In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Marilyn Bulloch, PharmD, BCPS, FCCM, is joined by John A. Kellum, MD, FCCM, to discuss high endotoxin activity as a possible endotype for septic shock. Dr. Kellum's article, “Organ Failure, Endotoxin Activity, and Mortality in Septic Shock,” was published in the September 2025 compendium of Critical Care Explorations. Dr. Kellum is a professor and director of the Center for Critical Care Nephrology, as well as vice chair for the Department of Critical Care Medicine, at the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. The study used a novel biomarker called the endotoxin activity assay (EAA) to detect endotoxin in the blood. While the EAA is not good at identifying patients who are at risk for sepsis, Dr. Kellum said that, when combined with organ failure, it identifies patients at high risk for endotoxic septic shock. In the study, these patients had a mortality rate of 60%. Neither the EAA nor the anti-endotoxin therapy is readily available. And, although endotoxic septic shock is rare, occurring in only a quarter of patients with septic shock, Dr. Kellum hopes that, through precision medicine, segmenting this population into treatable subgroups may allow better diagnostics and opportunities to develop or repurpose therapies in the future. This episode is sponsored by Prenosis.

WARBIRD RADIO - Historic airplanes have a way of commanding attention in the air. On the ground, their survival depends on something quieter: organization.On Episode 3 of Season 17 of WarbirdRadio.com, Kristin Schaick, executive director of EAA Warbirds of America, speaks plainly about what she believes the next chapter of warbird preservation requires: more hangars, more local organization and more people willing to step forward.The Warbirds of America division operates under the umbrella of the Experimental Aircraft Association, a global organization of more than 300,000 members in over 100 countries. Its AirVenture gathering each summer may be aviation's most visible celebration, but Schaick's focus is on what happens the other 51 weeks of the year.“We need more Warbirds of America Hangars,” she says during the conversation.These hangars are local chapters — structured communities formed around historic military aircraft and the people who care for them. In Schaick's telling, they serve as connective tissue: linking owners to maintenance expertise, pairing younger mechanics with aging masters of fabric and radial engines, and offering veterans and their families a place where the stories attached to these aircraft are understood.The barriers to starting one, she insists, are lower than many assume. A small group of committed individuals, a defined mission and alignment with national standards are often enough to begin. What matters most is momentum.Across the country, warbirds often sit in isolation — a T-6 tucked into the corner of a county airport, a P-51 maintained by a shrinking circle of specialists. Without deliberate organization, knowledge fades. When it disappears, it rarely returns.Schaick, making her first appearance on Warbird Radio, traces her own path to the role. Her background reflects a blend of operational understanding and nonprofit leadership, but her emphasis is less on résumé lines than on responsibility. Preservation, she suggests, is not about reverence for the past alone. It is about creating systems that make continuity possible.If hangars represent the local infrastructure, advocacy represents the national one.Joining the episode is Sean Elliott, vice president of advocacy and safety for the Experimental Aircraft Association. Elliott outlines regulatory challenges that will shape general aviation in 2026 — pressures that extend well beyond the warbird community.Certification pathways, operational rules and broader federal oversight are evolving. The effects will be felt by vintage aircraft operators, homebuilders, flight schools and private owners alike. Elliott's message is measured but direct: engagement is not optional.The regulatory environment does not distinguish between a polished Mustang and a modest two-seat trainer. Policy written in Washington affects both. And in an era when costs are rising and margins are tightening, clarity and representation matter.For organizations like EAA and its Warbirds of America division, scale provides leverage. Membership numbers translate into voice. But voice requires participation.The episode does not trade in spectacle. There are no engine failures recounted, no dramatic rescues. Instead, it examines the quieter mechanics of survival — the administrative frameworks and legal advocacy that allow the spectacle to exist at all.Warbirds, for all their thunder, depend on ordinary acts: meeting minutes, safety briefings, insurance renewals and mentorship sessions that stretch long past sunset.Schaick's call for more hangars is, in effect, a call for more stewards. Elliott's warning about regulatory headwinds is a reminder that history does not protect itself.The airplanes may draw the crowds. But it is organization, discipline and local leadership that will determine whether they continue to fly.For those interested in establishing a Warbirds of America Hangar in their own community, additional information is available through EAA Warbirds of America.Episode 3 of Season 17 is available now at WarbirdRadio.com.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/warbird-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

DEAR WLS Question from Anonymous Coward from CA (krista)Why isn't 6.5 grendel more popular? Question from Anonymous Coward from CA (krista)Jeremy just said that there's no other cartridge that'll do the work of a 300 blackout sub sonic. Why isn't sub sonic 350 legend, 450 bm, 458 socom etc. more popular for subsonic work? They all have more energy at the same velocity because bigger pill Question from Alex W. from FL (krista)Dear WLS. Can y'all recommend a 9mm subgun can for around $500? Preferably outside diameter of 1.62″ or less because that gives me more options for a suppressor tuck rail. But, if I have to go up to 1.7″ that's not a deal breaker. If it matters, it would be going on a stribog sp9a1. Thanks Alex W. Question from Alex W from Florida (krista)Dear WLS. Do you guys have any experience with the newer magpul metal pistol mags? Im pretty sure they make them for the p320 but what im most interested in is I'm pretty sure I saw that they're supposed to be coming out with metal p365 mags. I want a pile of mags for my xmacro but at $50 each from sig, that gets expensive fast. A cheaper one from magpul would be awesome as long as it works well. Thanks Alex W Question from Scott-G from WA (krista)Scott-G here 2 things 1 I was looking through mid west ind.'s extensive portfolio and noticed I could not find a m-lok to Arca adapter ( shut up Jeremy ARCA is superior to pic for precision work pic reigns supreme for optics and door kicking accessory mounts) . With your influence with mid west that might be a cool product to suggest 2 I asked last time what was up with Brownells and you kinda dodged the question. To be specific can we get an update as to who are the latest sponsors and what were the circumstances / situations that coused the splits with old sponsors. We listeners tend to trust you guys and knowing the back story often helps us decide where to support with our purchasing power. ( another example is swamp fox I have a decent Idea of why they are gone but confirmation would be nice) Question from John B from TX (krista)Dear WLS, I've been looking for a CZ P10C Ported lately, but I can't find one anywhere, including online(except for 1 on guns.com but they're selling it for $999 because it's the only 1). Everyone seems to have been out of stock of this thing for a while. Any idea what the deal is? Did CZ stop production or something?

Josh Miller and Christopher Antunes, Co-Founders and co-CEOs of 3Play Media, join SlatorPod to talk about the company's trajectory as a leading language solutions integrator (LSI) in multilingual video accessibility.The duo explains how the two met at MIT, where an early challenge from OpenCourseWare revealed that captioning thousands of technical videos was financially impossible, leading to the company's founding, where they developed proprietary tooling, leveraged AI, and incorporated expert-in-the-loop solutions.Josh describes how their platform evolved into a dual system supporting both customers and large-scale operations. Chris notes that the LSI now serves media and entertainment, higher education, e-learning, and corporate clients.Chris explains that three major trends — the European Accessibility Act (EAA), advancements in voice technology, and the rise of live events — drove their expansion into global localization. The co-CEOs detail their dubbing journey, noting rapid learning over the last 18 months and the emergence of a big mid-tier market between high-end theatrical dubbing and low-cost AI-only output.Josh explains how the EAA is pushing companies to prepare for large columns of multilingual captioning and audio description. He notes that interpretations of the law still vary, but major media firms are already investing to avoid disruption. The duo shares findings from their 2025 State of ASR Report, where they found that accuracy initially improved sharply with generative models but has now plateaued.Looking to the future, the co-CEOs are working on shifting their model to incorporate AI-generated scores and analytics, allowing customers to decide on the level of expert intervention.

In episode 172 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with wellness leader Liz Plosser to unpack the practical power of essential amino acids (EAAs) for women in midlife. Liz shares how auditing her protein (moving from ~40–50g/day to 100–130g), lifting heavier, and adding a simple EAA + creatine ritual transformed her recovery, sleep, energy, and body composition. You'll learn how leucine acts as the “on-switch” for muscle protein synthesis, why EAAs raise blood amino acids faster than food or even whey, and exactly how to time them around training—especially if you love early-morning or fasted workouts.They get into real-life scenarios: perimenopause and muscle loss, plant-forward diets that miss the leucine threshold, travel days with low appetite, and periods of stress when whole-food intake dips. Liz explains how she pairs EAAs with creatine for stronger training and steadier energy, and why she still prioritizes whole-food protein as her foundation. You'll also hear when not to sip EAAs (e.g., during longer fasts for autophagy goals) and how to keep perspective by focusing on the “big rocks” first—strength, cardio, sleep, stress, connection, and simple, protein-forward meals.Finally, Dr. Anthony and Liz compare EAAs vs. whey vs. whole food, outline quick-start dosing/timing ideas, and share easy kitchen and gym habits that make consistency feel effortless. Whether you're rebuilding strength after a lull, navigating hormone changes, or just want a cleaner way to support recovery, this episode gives you a clear, actionable playbook to get stronger and feel amazing—without overcomplicating your routine.Key TakeawaysEAAs rapidly raise blood aminos and trigger MPS.Leucine threshold (~2–3 g) is the on-switch for MPS.EAAs are great pre/during/post—especially for fasted AM training.Aging = anabolic resistance; EAAs help bridge the gap.Food = slow, whey = faster, EAAs = fastest availability.Pair EAAs with creatine for strength, recovery, and body comp.Useful for travel, low appetite, and plant-forward meals.Focus on “big rocks” first: strength, cardio, sleep, stress, nutrition.EAAs complement—don't replace—high-quality whole-food protein.Skip EAAs during longer fasts if autophagy is the goal.Learn More about Liz Plosser and Kion:Website: Go to getkion.com/fitmother and save 20%Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizplosser/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LizBakerPlosserSubstack: https://lizplosser.substack.com/Kion's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kion/Biographical Information on Liz PlosserLiz Plosser is the former Editor-in-Chief of Women's Health, where for seven years she oversaw the brand across its print and digital platforms and various brand extensions, reaching a monthly audience of 44+ million.

Dr. Ferrando also shares his positive take on collagen supplementation, including how it can support connective tissue health, and weighs in on the potential risks of GLP-1 medications to muscle tissue during rapid weight loss. The heart of this episode dives into anabolic resistance during menopause. Dr. Ferrando explains why it may not just be about hormones, but also about impaired nutrient delivery to muscle. He describes amino acids as the “signal” and blood flow as the “delivery truck”—a powerful analogy that reveals why exercise is so critical to overcoming anabolic resistance. We explore practical strategies for women to preserve muscle and improve body composition during midlife and beyond, including: Why blood flow and nutrient delivery may matter as much as hormones. How red light therapy and blood flow restriction training (BFR) could enhance amino acid delivery and muscle responsiveness. His recommendations for EAA dosing, timing, and frequency in peri- and postmenopausal women. The role of microvascular health and endothelial function in muscle retention. Why free-form EAAs are more efficient than intact protein under calorie restriction.

Max Trescott talks with Ken Solosky, the NYPD's Chief Pilot on 9/11, about his experiences managing helicopter operations on one of the most catastrophic days in American history. Though Ken wasn't flying at the moment of the attacks, he was on the ground coordinating the NYPD's aviation response. He recounts how what began as a seemingly routine aircraft accident quickly escalated into a full-blown national emergency. The aviation unit scrambled a standard rescue package—Bell 412s with divers and crew chiefs, and patrol helicopters—only to face total communication breakdowns. Cell service and landlines failed, radio channels were overloaded, and misinformation, including reports of enemy fighter jets, created unprecedented confusion. Ken recalls the surreal moment of watching the second plane hit the South Tower live on TV and initially being unable to process the reality. He explains why rooftop rescues weren't feasible—smoke obscured visibility, doors were locked or inaccessible, and the risk of engine flameout in the intense heat made the mission too dangerous. Still, he and his team documented the scene extensively and continued daily aerial photography for nearly a year afterward. Ken describes how foreign and domestic aviation units offered immediate support, with helicopters arriving from other cities—even LAPD offering to send their fleet. Yet due to lack of coordination, many of these aircraft were unknown to NYPD at the time and went unused in the response. He speaks candidly about the emotional toll, having lost 10 close friends among the 23 NYPD officers killed, and how that pain continues with the rise in 9/11-related cancer deaths among first responders. Post-9/11, Ken was instrumental in implementing a “96-hour standalone” plan for the NYPD, designed to maintain operations without headquarters support. Staffing schedules were restructured to ensure long-term response capacity. He shares how the aviation unit has evolved over the years—growing from six helicopters to a modern fleet including Bell 429s, a Bell 407 trainer, and a fixed-wing Caravan used for radiation scanning of incoming ships to New York Harbor. Ken also offers a detailed look at what a typical day is like for an NYPD pilot—flying patrol missions, conducting surveillance, responding to foot and vehicle pursuits, and supporting SWAT teams. He explains how the aircraft are equipped with cutting-edge tools like high-def thermal imagers, tactical radios, moving maps, and address-targeting cameras that can zoom in on a license plate from miles away. These tools enable precise coordination with ground teams and real-time intelligence, greatly improving safety and effectiveness. The conversation also delves into pilot recruitment and training, safety management system (SMS) implementation, and Ken's personal advice for those interested in joining a law enforcement aviation unit. He emphasizes that character and work ethic matter just as much as flight hours. In lighter moments, Ken shares stories of flying Barbara Bush to West Point when Marine One had mechanical issues, and being told by Yankees legend Derek Jeter that flying for the NYPD was cooler than being the Yankees' shortstop. He also describes dramatic rescues, like locating a man stranded on a sandbar after his friend swam off—and later finding that friend safe on another island. Ken currently flies both a Bell 407 and an Augusta 109 for corporate clients and continues to teach and speak for the FAA and EAA. His legacy and continued contribution to aviation safety and training are evident throughout the episode. The interview is both a sobering reflection on 9/11 and a celebration of how aviation supports public safety in today's complex world.

Foreign nations consider F-35 alternatives such as the Typhoon and FCAS, Denver Airport studies the use of a small modular reactor, Astronaut Jim Lovell passed, Senate bill blocks ATC privatization, NTSB hearings highlighted, and the Regional Airline Association calls for accredited flight training programs to be recognized as professional degrees. Aviation News Spain rules out F-35 order, prioritizes Eurofighter and FCAS The Spanish Ministry of Defense has decided to “prioritize investment in European industry” and will consider the Eurofighter Typhoon or the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) over the Lockheed Martin F-35. The Spanish government wants to replace its aging fleet of McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets and AV-8B Harrier II aircraft. Previously, the F-35 was considered a leading candidate. Talks with Lockheed Martin are now suspended. Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, courtesy F35.com. Other potential foreign F-35 customers, including Canada and Portugal, have signaled doubts about joining the American-led program amid geopolitical strain with the Trump administration. Swiss lawmakers are calling for the government to cancel a $9.1 billion order for Lockheed Martin's F-35 stealth fighter. Denver to look at nuclear option for power at Denver International Airport The Denver airport (DIA) “issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to study the feasibility of building a small modular (nuclear) reactor (SMR) on the DEN campus. The study is part of DEN's overall efforts to meet future clean energy demands.” A new Colorado law reclassifies nuclear energy as a clean energy resource. See the press release: DEN to Pursue More Alternative Energy Options for Future Needs and A nuclear reactor at the Denver airport? Here's what you need to know. Professor Thomas Albrecht, director of the Nuclear Science and Engineering Center at the Colorado School of Mines, said, "The idea, with many of the small modular reactors, is you can drive them up on a semi. put them down on a concrete pad and plug them in, and they just go. The idea of many of these designs is you could keep adding them." The study will cost up to $1.25 million and is expected to take between 6-12 months to complete, at which time DEN, along with its partners, will evaluate the findings and determine next steps. NASA Administrator Reflects on Passing of Astronaut Jim Lovell Astronaut James A. Lovell was a pioneering NASA astronaut best known as the commander of Apollo 13 and as one of the first humans to orbit the Moon, having flown a total of four space missions—Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8, and Apollo 13—more than any astronaut in NASA's early years. Astronaut James A. Lovell, NASA. Gemini 7 (1965): Set an endurance record of nearly 14 days in orbit and accomplished the first rendezvous of two manned spacecraft, a vital maneuver for Moon missions. Gemini 12 (1966): Commanded the final Gemini mission, featured Buzz Aldrin as pilot, and executed complex extravehicular activities, closing the Gemini program successfully. Apollo 8 (1968): Served as Command Module Pilot for the first crewed mission to leave Earth's orbit and enter lunar orbit, making him and his crewmates the first humans to orbit the Moon and see its far side. Apollo 13 (1970): Commanded the ill-fated lunar mission that suffered a catastrophic explosion en route, forcing a dramatic turnaround and Moon flyby. His leadership in crisis turned it into an inspirational story of survival; Lovell and his crew made it back safely, an event celebrated worldwide and dramatized in the 1995 film "Apollo 13". See Former Astronaut James A. Lovell - NASA and EAA's Jack Pelton on the Death of Astronaut Jim Lovell. Senate ATC modernization funding bill blocks privatization The Senate Appropriations Committee bill to fund the Department of Transportation, including the FAA, in 2026 seeks to block any attempts to privatize the U.S. air traffic control system.

In this episode of the Aviation News Talk podcast, Max Trescott talks with Sean Elliott, Vice President of Advocacy and Safety at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), about the FAA's groundbreaking MOSAIC final rule—and how it benefits all pilots, not just sport pilots or Light-Sport Aircraft owners. Sean explains that MOSAIC replaces the old, restrictive Light-Sport Aircraft definition with a performance-based standard, removing the long-standing 1,320-pound maximum takeoff weight limit and focusing instead on a clean stall speed (VS1) of no more than 59 knots CAS for sport pilot privileges and a landing configuration stall speed (VSO) of no more than 61 knots for LSA certification. This single change dramatically broadens the pool of aircraft that qualify, meaning many popular legacy models—like certain Cessna 172s and even Cirrus SR20s—can now be flown by sport pilots, and private pilots can operate them under sport pilot privileges with nothing more than a valid U.S. driver's license in place of an FAA medical. For older pilots or those with long-term medical concerns, MOSAIC is a game-changer. A private pilot who no longer maintains a Third Class or BasicMed medical can still keep flying a wide variety of capable, familiar aircraft—often including the same ones they've flown for years—so long as they meet the new stall speed limits and carry no more than one passenger. Sean and Max discuss how this provision gives seasoned aviators a safe and legal way to extend their flying years without the administrative burden or risk of renewing a medical certificate. MOSAIC also expands sport pilot privileges beyond the original daytime, fair-weather limitations. With additional training and endorsements, sport pilots will be able to fly at night under VFR, operate aircraft with constant-speed propellers and retractable landing gear, and take advantage of higher cruise speeds—removing many of the practical barriers that once kept sport pilots from flying more capable airplanes. The rule even opens the door for certain limited commercial operations by sport pilots, including banner towing, glider towing, and pipeline or powerline patrol—tasks previously off-limits without at least a private pilot certificate. On the aircraft side, the MOSAIC framework allows manufacturers to certify a much wider range of designs as LSAs under ASTM consensus standards. This could lead to modernized versions of classic Part 23 trainers like the Cessna 172 becoming available in factory-new LSA configurations, as well as innovative new designs in the experimental, gyroplane, and electric aircraft categories. Sean notes that this flexibility benefits the industry by encouraging innovation while keeping costs lower than traditional FAA certification pathways. Flight schools stand to gain as well. Because many mainstream trainers now qualify as LSAs, schools can use them to train sport pilots without investing in specialized two-seat LSAs that may be less versatile for other types of training. This flexibility could help schools reach a new segment of students—especially older adults returning to flying or beginners looking for a faster, less expensive path to the cockpit. Max and Sean also cover how MOSAIC affects aircraft maintenance. Repairman certificates for LSAs will still exist, and MOSAIC provides expanded privileges for light-sport repairman-inspectors and mechanics working on these aircraft, supporting both owner-maintenance and professional servicing. Sean stresses that while MOSAIC dramatically broadens options, it doesn't automatically change the certification status of existing aircraft—manufacturers or owners must still pursue LSA certification through the ASTM process. That means pilots should verify whether a particular aircraft is LSA-certified or qualifies for operation under sport pilot rules before assuming they can fly it without a medical. The conversation closes with EAA's commitment to supporting pilots, flight schools, and manufacturers through MOSAIC's rollout. EAA will work closely with ASTM to develop the updated industry standards needed to implement the new rules, while also providing education and advocacy to ensure pilots understand their new privileges and responsibilities. This episode is essential listening for any pilot curious about the future of general aviation under MOSAIC—whether you're a sport pilot, a private pilot considering BasicMed alternatives, a CFI planning to expand your student base, or an aircraft owner wondering if your plane might now qualify as an LSA. With expert insights from one of the country's leading aviation advocates, you'll learn exactly how MOSAIC changes the game for who can fly what, and under what conditions, for years to come.
