Are electric vehicles a green revolution or just greenwashing on wheels? Nick Pell pops the hood and breaks it all down here on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1301On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Electric vehicles carry zero tailpipe emissions, but the electricity powering them often comes from coal and natural gas plants — meaning your EV's true environmental footprint depends heavily on where you live and how your local grid generates power.The cobalt fueling EV batteries comes overwhelmingly from the Democratic Republic of Congo — one of the poorest, most unstable nations on Earth — where child labor, armed militia control of mines, and toxic contamination of local communities remain deeply troubling realities.EVs start with a larger carbon deficit than gas-powered cars due to battery manufacturing, but they erase that debt within 15,000 to 50,000 miles — and every mile driven after that threshold is cleaner than the equivalent gas-powered mile would be.The average EV costs about $53,000 compared to $36,000 for a gas-powered car, with batteries alone accounting for 30 to 40 percent of the price — and federal tax credits that once softened the blow have been eliminated.EV technology is rapidly evolving — with lighter, faster-charging batteries on the horizon and recycling infrastructure growing — so doing your homework on total cost of ownership, local grid sources, and available incentives can help you make a smarter, more informed decision.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Movie Mike dives into the world of movie memorabilia as there are some incredible items that every level of movie fan will recognize that are about to hit the auction block. From a light-up C-3PO head to the Butt Birth' Rhino from 'Ace Ventura’. Mike talks about which would be the coolest to own and how he really got back into collecting. In the Movie Review, Mike and Kelsey got to see an early screening of Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling. It’s about a science teacher who wakes up alone on a spaceship light-years from Earth. As his memory returns, he uncovers a mission to stop a mysterious substance killing the sun, and save Earth. An unexpected friendship may be the key. Mike and Kelsey share what it was like seeing it in 70mm IMAX, how it compared to the book and is it the best Ryan Gosling movie of all-time? In the Trailer Park, Mike breaks down Jake Gyllenhaal's and Henry Cavill’s upcoming action thriller “In The Grey” where they play elite operatives tasked with recovering a stolen billion-dollar fortune from a ruthless despot. Mike uses the opportunity to apologize to Jake Gyllenhaal. New Episodes Every Monday!

Ralph welcomes international human rights lawyer Craig Mokhiber to discuss the U.S. and Israel's illegal war on Iran. Then, Ralph speaks to investigative reporter David Cay Johnston about the finances of Donald Trump.Craig Mokhiber is an international human rights lawyer and activist, and a former senior United Nations human rights official. A human rights activist in the 1980s, he would go on to serve for more than three decades at the United Nations, with postings in Switzerland, Palestine, Afghanistan, and UN Headquarters in New York. In October of 2023, he left the United Nations, penning a widely read letter criticizing the UN's human rights failures in the Middle East, warning of unfolding genocide in Gaza, and calling for a new approach to Palestine and Israel based on international law, human rights, and equality.Anyone who pays attention knows that Iran wasn't attacked because it has nuclear weapons. It was attacked because it doesn't have nuclear weapons, and was therefore viewed by Israel and the U.S. as being a state that could be overcome militarily. But what really is, I think, most telling about this is the hypocrisy of the claims, because the only party in the region that has stockpiles of nuclear weapons (which are entirely undeclared and unsupervised) is the Israeli regime, not the Iranian. And the Israeli regime was joined in attacking Iran by another nuclear power—the United States.Craig MokhiberIsrael (which has attacked the United Nations throughout its entire life and declared that the United Nations is an anti-Semitic terror organization) fights like hell to stay in the United Nations, pays its dues every year to make sure that it stays in…and renews its treaty obligations as a member of the United Nations (that, of course, it violates with impunity). So it's very funny that Israel calls the UN an anti-Semitic terror organization, yet it insists on being a member and paying its dues to fund that so-called anti-Semitic terror organization.Craig MokhiberI don't think that putting Iran in an existential crisis is the best way to tell them you don't need nuclear weapons. I think stopping attacking them, their economy, their currency, their scientists, their political leaders, their military personnel, their civilians, their girls' schools—if you want a country to believe that it doesn't need to arm itself, this is not the way to go about it.Craig MokhiberDavid Cay Johnston is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter, specialist in economics and tax issues, and a professor of practice teaching law, public policy, and journalism at Rochester Institute of Technology. He is the author of several books, including The Making of Donald Trump and It's Even Worse Than You Think: What The Trump Administration Is Doing To America. He is also the co-founder of DCReport, a nonprofit news service that reports what the President and Congress DO, not what they SAY.Convicting Donald Trump of tax fraud would be very easy. You establish these corporations [reporting major losses] don't exist. You establish that he took tax losses from these multiple corporations (in all, about 60 entries over the six years of tax returns). And there's no defense for that. It's flat-out fraud. It's blatant fraud. So Trump has gotten away with this because we don't seriously treat high-level tax fraud in this country.David Cay JohnstonNews 3/20/26* Our top story this week concerns a new study titled “Inequality, not regulation, drives America's housing affordability crisis.” As summarized in Hell Gate, this study demonstrates that the precipitous rise in rent prices are not primarily the result of insufficient housing supply or of vacancy rates. Moreover, contrary to the claims of the so-called Abundance movement, reducing regulations to spur new construction is unlikely to create significantly more housing. Even if it did, that would probably fail to bring down rents, because the real cause of the rental spike is “Steep national inequality.” So, what can be done to bring down rents? Maximilian Buchholz, the lead author of the study, puts it bluntly in this interview: “rent control, tenant protection policies like just cause eviction, and income supports for people toward the bottom.” Simply put, the best policies to lower rents are policies that lower rents. This has been demonstrated time and time again in different policy areas, yet on the whole, Democrats still seem to prefer byzantine policy formulae instead of straightforward policy solutions to the glaring issues facing the American people. * Speaking of rising costs, Washingtonian magazine is out with a new story on the Washington Post hiking prices for subscribers. Yet apparently not all subscribers are created equal. According to this story, these increases are accompanied by a simple yet insidious message: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.” This is the latest deployment of what has become known as algorithmic – or “surveillance” – pricing. This piece notes other examples of surveillance pricing, ranging from the Princeton Review charging more for the same SAT tutoring package in areas with higher Asian populations (they called it the “tiger mom tax”) to Amazon charging local school districts vastly different prices for the same supplies. However, this new policy from the Post is especially brazen given the straits the paper has recently found itself in, declining by a million subscribers between 2021 and 2026 and hemorrhaging key reporters to a new rival paper sponsored by Robert Albritton, including Dana Milbank, Jeff Stein, Paul Kane and Paige Cunningham, among others, per the Hill.* In more media news, Variety reports that ratings for CBS Evening News are cratering, falling back to where executives at the news division behind the show “hoped never to return.” The nightly news program, anchored by Tony Dokoupil, has fallen below 4 million viewers; when the previous iteration of the program anchored by Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson fell to this nadir, Paramount Skydance pulled the plug. While this is perhaps just a symptom of the collapse of cable news, Variety notes that ABC's “World News Tonight,” averaged nearly 8 and a half million viewers and “NBC Nightly News” scored just over 6 and half million. Dokoupil did score a slight uptick in viewership when he took over the Evening News, but that seems to have been nothing more than a flash in the pan. This pathetic showing seems to confirm what seemed obvious all along: there is simply little audience for the editorial viewpoint espoused by CBS's new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss.* The bad news for Bari doesn't end there, either. According to the Wrap, the new chief is locked in contentious negotiations with the unionized staff of CBS, specifically the 60-person unit behind the network's streaming service, “CBS News 24/7.” These workers staged a 24 hour walkout earlier this week. Their grievances include everything from new grueling 12-hour weekend shifts – despite no weekend-specific live programming – as well as CBS News' reported plans to lay off 15% of staff. CBS News already laid off roughly 100 people in October after Paramount merged with Skydance and many believe more layoffs will come if the merger with CNN, which is not unionized, goes through as part of the Paramount Warner Bros. deal.* In other news, a recent study reveals a fascinating disconnect between the self-description of Democrats and their policy preferences. The study, conducted on behalf of the New Republic by Embold Research, gave respondents five choices to describe their ideology: conservative, moderate, moderate-to-liberal, liberal, and progressive. Only 12% identified as moderate, but another 21% called themselves moderate-to-liberal. Yet, among this combined group, approximately 70% said Democrats are “too timid” on taxing the rich and corporations, and cracking down on corporate criminals. Fewer than 5% of moderates said Democrats are “too aggressive” on these issues. In a word, even the moderates among the Democratic base think the party should take a more strident economic populist line. This tracks with polling conducted during the Texas Democratic Senate primary which found that 47% of voters who identified as socialists also identified as moderates.* Our next several stories this week have to do with the intersection of foreign policy and energy. The AP reports that on Tuesday, Cuba reconnected its energy grid following a 29-hour long nationwide blackout. This story notes that this reconnection will only provide scant and temporary relief, because not enough power is being generated. The energy crisis in Cuba has gotten progressively worse since the beginning of the year, as the new government in Venezuela and the newly reinforced sanctions regime have both served to cut off the island from energy imports. That said, cracks in this blockade are beginning to form. Bloomberg reports that a “tanker carrying more than 700,000 barrels of Russian crude is expected to arrive in Cuba by the end of the month,” and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that her administration is “looking into different possibilities” to resume fuel shipments to Cuba as well. Sheinbaum stressed that Mexico is “sovereign” and able to “have trade agreements with any country in the world,” per the Latin Times. The U.S. government has already eased sanctions on Russian oil sales to India, but has now announced that they will not allow the Russians to send oil to Cuba, per Bloomberg. As the ship is already on its way, it is an open question of how far the U.S. will go to prevent Russia from sending lifesaving resources to the country that has held out against American pressure for so long.* Next, a stunning story in the Wall Street Journal documents how the Trump administration settled on their final course of action in Venezuela. According to this piece, the Central Intelligence Agency consulted former Chevron executive Ali Moshiri, described as the oil company's man in “Man in Venezuela—and a CIA Informant.” Apparently, Moshiri warned that if the U.S. government tried to oust the Chavista government of Nicolás Maduro and install María Corina Machado and her exile comrades in its place, the country would turn into “another quagmire like Iraq.” Moshiri specifically warned that Machado did not have the support of the country's security services or control of its oil infrastructure. For their part, Chevron issued a statement claiming that “between spring of 2025 and the removal of Maduro, Chevron did not authorize anyone working for, or on behalf of, the company to engage with the CIA related to Venezuela's leadership, including assessments of government officials or opposition leaders.” Moshiri, formally left Chevron in 2017 and ended his consulting relationship with the company in 2024. Unlike many other oil companies, Chevron maintained a presence in Venezuela over the years, positioning the company to benefit most from the new extraction political environment under the leadership of upjumped Vice President Delcy Rodríguez.* Meanwhile, a story from NOTUS highlights why this kind of outside advice is likely more heeded than ever in the halls of power: the publication reports that six months ago, the State Department under the leadership of Secretary Marco Rubio, fired its in-house oil and gas experts, including laying off staff who “would have been responsible for gaming out possible scenarios if the Strait of Hormuz was closed” and “staffers with close professional relationships at oil and gas companies in the Middle East and experts tasked with maintaining diplomatic contacts at foreign energy bureaus.” This is a final nail in the coffin for the misguided logic of Elon Musk's DOGE initiative and serves as a crystal clear example of why it is so dangerous to purge experts with significant institutional knowledge from the federal bureaucracy.* Another consequence of this lack of diplomatic expertise is the ultimate cost to the taxpayer – $200 billion in additional Pentagon funding, to be exact, per CNBC. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, defending the request in typically childish terms, said “It takes money to kill bad guys.” In similarly childish terms, President Trump, asked why the Pentagon is seeking so much money, said, “We're asking for a lot of reasons,” and while he told a reporter he would not send U.S. troops to the region, he added, “If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you.” Beyond the flippant attitude towards the immense sums of taxpayer money they are requesting from Congress, to say nothing of the cost in American and Iranian lives, the American people would do well to remember how casually the political class treats $200 billion when it is to be spent on war instead of social programs. All this as gas prices spike, with price increases rippling out to all other consumer goods.* Finally, the BBC reports a Belgian court has ruled that a former diplomat, Etienne Davignon, can stand trial in connection with the 1961 killing of Congo's first prime minister, Patrice Lumumba. Davignon, 93, is the “only surviving member of the 10 Belgians accused in a criminal case brought by Lumumba's family in 2011.” At the time, Davignon was a diplomat in training. He would go on to become a vice-president of the European Commission. Lumumba meanwhile was ousted in a Belgian and U.S.-backed coup led by Mobutu Sese Seko, who would rule Congo (renamed Zaire) until 1997. In 1961, Lumumba was executed by a Belgian-backed Congolese firing squad and his body was dissolved in acid. Lumumba's grandson, Mehdi Lumumba, is quoted saying “We are all relieved…Belgium is finally confronting its history.” Many have remarked that while this has taken over 50 years, it sets a powerful precedent that justice can be found even after so many decades. Many of the war criminals that walk the Earth today are far younger than Mr. Davignon.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Ryan Gosling has teamed up with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (The Lego Movie and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) for the new sci-fi movie Project Hail Mary. It's based on a novel by Andy Weir (The Martian), and tells the story of a molecular biologist who winds up on a one-way mission into space to save Earth's population. If that all sounds incredibly bleak, fear not: you can expect quirk, charm, and a cutesy alien creature.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureTo manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Andy Weir's first time at the Hollywood rodeo was a singular trip. His debut novel, “The Martian,” went from self-published project to blockbuster, best picture-nominated film starring Matt Damon. His third book, “Project Hail Mary,” was also a sensation, and its adaptation, starring Ryan Gosling as a middle school science teacher tasked with saving humanity from slow extinction, charts warmly familiar territory: a lone man, stuck in space far from Earth, solving science problem after science problem with many a humorous aside. Weir joined the Book Review's podcast and spoke to the host Gilbert Cruz about the similarities and differences between Mark Watney and Ryland Grace (the main characters of “The Martian” and “Project Hail Mary”), his second novel “Artemis” and the alien character that readers have fallen in love with.

News with Sean 3-20-2026 …And the Happiest Countries are the Earth are

My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Tracie Beuden was observing with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona in the constellation of Persus when she found the first asteroid of 2026. Asteroid hunters are trying to like Tracie's discovery with our number on it far enough in advance so humans could give it a tiny nudge and make it miss Earth.

Today, we pull back the curtain on a global headline. Not to debate. Not to distract. But to confront the dark reality few dare to face: the brutality of the Iranian regime.Paul M. Neuberger isn't here to repeat viral narratives. He's here, Bible in one hand, history in the other, to expose the suffering no hashtag will fix—women beaten, protestors disappeared, children silenced under a system that calls evil good and good evil.You won't hear this in the mainstream. Why? Because courage will cost you—ridicule, backlash, exile from the comfortable crowd. But we're not called to comfort. We're called to kingdom clarity.Justice demands more than outrage—it demands moral courage.Jesus is still Lord—even when the West goes silent.The line's been drawn. When your moment of truth comes, where will you stand?Buckle up. This one's going to be raw, real, and rooted in the Word."Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." –Isaiah 5:20Episode Highlights:07:18 – Instead of asking questions, people assume motives. Instead of seeking facts, people repeat narratives. Instead of pursuing discernment, people react emotionally. But outrage isn't discernment. Emotion isn't wisdom. And viral opinions aren't the same thing as truth.38:24 – Christians aren't called to quietly tolerate injustice. We're called to expose it, not out of hatred, not out of vengeance, but out of a commitment to truth. The prophets of the Old Testament confronted corrupt kings and unjust systems. Jesus himself challenged the religious authorities of his day when they misused their power.41:49 – Real peace is the presence of justice, and justice requires the courage to confront systems that harm the innocent and silence the vulnerable. Millions of Iranians have spent years risking their safety to protest against their own government. Many of them have paid a terrible price for that courage. Their stories deserve to be heard. Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite 

In this episode, Angelica dives into the history, symbolism, and spiritual meaning of the Vernal Equinox—what modern pagans call Ostara. This seasonal threshold marks the moment of equal day and night, a powerful point of balance as we shift fully into the light half of the year.Together, we explore how this time of year has been honored across cultures—from the Germanic goddess Eostre to Christian Easter, Jewish Passover, and Hindu Holi—all reflecting a shared theme of rebirth, renewal, and the return of life.Angelica also shares why she personally works with the Wheel of the Year (even outside of strict religious structure), and how aligning with Earth's cycles can reconnect us to something ancient, embodied, and real.This is a season of emergence. Of beginning again. Of planting seeds—both literal and energetic.Whether you celebrate Ostara, Easter, or simply feel the shift in the air—this episode is an invitation to honor what is awakening within you.Angie mentions the books on working with your menstrual cycle: Wild Power: Discover the Magic of Your Menstrual Cycle and Awaken the Feminine Path to Power by Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer & Alexandra Pope Yoni Shakti: A woman's guide to power and freedom through yoga and tantra by Uma Dinsmore-Tuli & Nirlipta Tuli

Fr. Mike unpacks the signs of the kingdom of God that Christ performed while on Earth. These signs of the kingdom are a way for us to see that Jesus is not just “another prophet” but is, in fact, the Son of God. Fr. Mike reminds us that these miracles and signs can strengthen the faith, but they can also be opportunities for “offense.” We also examine the authority that Christ entrusts to St. Peter, and his unique role within the college of apostles, just like the unique role the Holy Father has within the Church today. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 547-553. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Spring is trying to show up in St. Louis, and like everything else in this show… it's doing it with mixed signals and mild chaos.In this episode of your favorite comedy podcast, The Rizzuto Show dives headfirst into a day that somehow includes dog walks, hormone talk, and one of the most unintentionally romantic contractor stories you'll ever hear. Rafe walks us through his journey of getting FIFTEEN different bids for a retaining wall—ranging from “this seems reasonable” to “are you building a castle?”—and ultimately choosing a contractor based on vibes, explanations, and what can only be described as emotional chemistry.Meanwhile, the crew debates whether winter is finally over (we've been hurt before), breaks down March Madness brackets with absolutely zero scientific reasoning, and questions whether anyone on Earth has ever actually filled out a perfect bracket without divine intervention.Then… we get to the main event.Afroman vs. The Police.Yes, THAT Afroman. And yes, this story is real. What starts as a botched police raid with zero evidence turns into a full-blown musical revenge tour involving security footage, parody songs, lemon pound cake, and a lawsuit that somehow ends with Afroman winning in court. The crew breaks down the entire situation, including the courtroom drama, the music videos, and the absolutely wild legal arguments that led to one of the most bizarre wins in recent memory.And just when you think things couldn't get more unhinged, we play a game of “Can You Bring It on a Plane?”—where TSA rules make less and less sense the longer we go. Bocce balls? Nope. Bowling balls? Sure. Lobsters? Somehow yes. Chainsaws? Please don't try.It's everything you want in a daily comedy podcast: ridiculous stories, questionable logic, and a group of people trying their best to make sense of a world that clearly stopped making sense a while ago.If you're here for a funny podcast that mixes real-life nonsense with sarcastic humor and just enough chaos to keep you awake—congrats, you found your people.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Darkness Radio Presents: The High Strangeness of Bigfoot w/Ronald Meyer and Mark Reeder!Filmmaker Ron Meyer didn't go looking for a mystery. He went looking for an animal.Six years later, he found something that defies every category science has given us - something that responds to human intention, communicates in a language older than words, and has been operating in the shadows of human history for longer than civilization itself.This is not the Bigfoot story you've been told.It begins in the darkness of an Oklahoma forest. A meditation circle. A chant. And then - something crashes through the treetops with impossible force and lands six feet away, shaking the ground beneath their feet.  When the team searched for what had fallen, they found nothing. No branch. No animal. No disturbance. What followed across six years of investigation - from the remote wilderness of Colorado to the sacred peaks of Mount Shasta - produced evidence so compelling and so deeply strange that it forced one unavoidable question:What if Bigfoot isn't trying to hide from us? What if it's been trying to reach us all along?Why have the biggest names in Bigfoot research begun, one by one, quietly abandoning the biological explanation? What did the Finding Bigfoot production crew witness on camera that was never allowed to air? And what does a world-renowned scientist's radical theory about the nature of reality have to do with a hairy giant in the woods?The answers will rearrange your understanding of not just Bigfoot - but of human history, human consciousness, and the mystery of why we alone, among all creatures on Earth, learned to speak.On today's Darkness Radio, we sit down with Ron and Mark and discuss why the divide between sides of "apers" and "dimensionals" is so wide....  We discuss what "Bigfoot" could be if it isn't a primate... we also discuss the different theories and experiences of both men and people who filmed the movie involving both Sasquatch and other entities! Get your copy of the book, "The High Strangeness of Bigfoot" here:  https://bit.ly/41d405fGet other books from Mark Reeder (and Ronald Meyer) here:  https://bit.ly/4lKZDrKSee the trailer for the book here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5AUb0VEYjA&t=27sVisit Hangar 1 Publishing here:  https://hangar1publishing.com/Make sure you update your Darkness Radio Apple Apps!and subscribe to the Darkness Radio You Tube page:  https://www.youtube.com/@DRTimDennisDarkness Radio Hoodies!

Yellowstone National Park was the first national park in the world, created in 1872. Located mostly in Wyoming, it is famous for geysers like Old Faithful, colorful hot springs, and abundant wildlife including bison, wolves, and bears. The park sits on top of a giant volcanic system that shapes its landscape. Yellowstone protects nature while allowing people to explore and learn about Earth's powerful forces.

Sometime around 66 million years ago, a meteor smashed into what is today the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.  The impact of that event changed life on Earth in ways that are still evident today.  Evidence for this impact wasn't obvious. There was strong skepticism when the theory was proposed, and it took decades for it to become widely accepted.  In the end, the evidence proved overwhelming. Learn more about the Chicxulub Impact, how it was discovered, and how it changed the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

It's Thursday, March 19th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chine Communists continue to harass the church China's National People's Congress passed the innocuously named “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress” last week.  The new law requires the enforcement of a strong sense of Chinese identity across society. This would continue China's suppression of religious and ethnic minorities. It would also affect social organizations and churches.  International Christian Concern noted, “Christian home churches are an attempt to escape government scrutiny, but even they are often raided and their members arrested on charges of working against the interests of the state.” China is ranked 17th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most oppressive countries to be a Christian.  Trump postpones trip to meet with Chinese President China will have to reschedule a meeting with the United States as the war in Iran continues. U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he will postpone his trip to Beijing. The trip was scheduled for the end of the month. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping plan to discuss trade tariffs. The trade war between the two countries has been on pause since last October.  Commenting on the postponement, President Trump said, “Because of the [Iran] war, I want to be here. I have to be here.” Israel killed Iran's top security official on Monday Israel killed Iran's top security official, Ali Larijani, in a strike on Monday. Larijani was likely running the country since U.S. and Israeli strikes killed Iran's supreme leader last month. The recent war has lasted nearly three weeks so far. President Trump told reporters yesterday that America's involvement in the war may be ending soon.  Listen. TRUMP: “We're not ready to leave yet, but we'll be leaving in the near future. We'll be leaving in pretty much the very near future. But, right now, they've been decimated from every standpoint. We've had great support from countries in the Middle East. Great support. But we've had essentially no support from NATO.” Paul Ehrlich, father of population control, died Paul Ehrlich, known as the father of population control, died last Friday at the age of 93. The biology professor and population scientist wrote the 1968 book, The Population Bomb. Ehrlich falsely claimed population growth would cause widespread starvation. He promoted the murder of unborn babies and mass sterilization to stem the alleged tide of overpopulation.  His work inspired governments and organizations to push contraception, abortion, and sterilization on the world.  Hebrews 9:27 says, “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” Scotland Parliament votes against legalized assisted suicide Scotland's Parliament voted Tuesday against a bill to legalize assisted suicide. The vote ends two years of national debate on the issue. Alisdair Hungerford-Morgan, Chief Executive of Right To Life UK, said, “This is a great victory for the most vulnerable in our society. They deserve protection and care, not a pathway to suicide. If this legislation had passed, countless vulnerable people would have been pressured or coerced into ending their lives.”  Moody Bible victorious in religious liberty case In the United States, a Christian college won its religious freedom case against the Chicago Board of Education. Previously, the city's public schools blocked The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago from participating in its student-teaching program. The college could only participate if it compromised its Christian hiring practices. The public schools backed down after the lawsuit.  Jeremiah Galus with Alliance Defending Freedom commented, “We're hopeful other public officials will take note that they can't inject themselves illegally and unconstitutionally into a religious non-profit's hiring practices.” YouVersion: No AI chatbots to answer theological questions And finally, a leading digital Bible platform is not implementing artificial intelligence chatbots for answering theological questions. The YouVersion Bible platform has over one billion downloads around the world.  YouVersion CEO Bobby Gruenewald told Christian Daily International that AI models are inaccurate. He said, “The best model with the best performance, with the most popular versions of the Bible that are most indexed, misquotes Scripture at least 15% of the time. Some of them as much as 60% of the time.” Unlike chatbots, God's Word is always accurate. Psalm 12:6 says, “The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of Earth, purified seven times.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 19th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

What if the technology that could save humanity…could also predict its end? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Michio Kaku — legendary cofounder of string field theory and author of Quantum Supremacy — breaks down the quantum revolution that's about to change everything. What is quantum computing, really? Dr. Kaku explains its evolution from wild theory to world-altering reality — and how it could soon solve problems today's supercomputers can't even touch. But that's just the beginning. He reveals how quantum computing could: - Extend human longevity and transform medicine - Track dangerous asteroids before they strike - Accelerate the search for extraterrestrial life - Predict possible planetary catastrophes - Help us study parallel universes Are black holes actually gateways to interstellar travel? Dr. Kaku explains the shocking physics that suggests they might not just destroy matter, but connect distant regions of space-time. Are we alone in the universe? He explains why he believes we are not, and how string theory may one day prove the existence of a multiverse. Artificial Intelligence: Humanity's Greatest Tool — or Its Biggest Threat? Dr. Kaku shares why advancing AI deeply concerns him, why fighting AI may be the wrong strategy, and why he believes we may eventually need to merge with it instead. Could AI and robots become our partners in space exploration? Will artificial intelligence ever achieve consciousness? What would physically merging with technology actually look like? And what safeguards must we build before that future arrives? Plus: Why he predicts we may see more “3I/ATLAS”-type interstellar comets entering our solar system, and what that means for Earth. From quantum supremacy to the multiverse…from AI-human integration to black holes as cosmic gateways…this conversation explores the future of humanity at its most extreme edge. The future isn't science fiction. It's already unfolding.

It's a birthday, it's a debate, it's a full-blown identity crisis for humanity—all packed into one beautifully chaotic episode of your favorite funny podcast.We kick things off with a very important modern dilemma: if you drive an electric vehicle, can you park in a charging spot without actually charging… or does that instantly make you public enemy number one? The gang breaks it down like only a funny podcast can—half logic, half roasting, zero resolution.Then things take a turn into the existential (as they always do). If an alien landed on Earth and asked, “What should I watch?”—what do you show them? The answers range from wholesome (Mr. Rogers) to wildly questionable (Always Sunny, ALF, and yes… COPS). It becomes less about TV and more about what we're accidentally admitting about humanity. Spoiler: it's not great.From there, we dive into the unexpected comeback of vinyl records hitting BILLION-dollar sales (thanks, Taylor Swift, we guess), and whether physical media is actually back or just a hipster fever dream. There's also a discussion about why supporting artists now basically means buying anything that isn't music.And of course, it wouldn't be a funny podcast without “Crap on Celebrities,” where we cover everything from Lollapalooza headlines to Oscars ratings drama, Bob Barker's bizarre backstage rules, and Shia LaBeouf doing whatever Shia LaBeouf does… this time in Rome, without pants.We wrap things up with some iconic (and questionable) female covers of classic songs—some absolute bangers, and some that sound like they were recorded during a fever dream.It's weird. It's sarcastic. It's somehow educational. And it's exactly what you expect from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we celebrated Moon's Birthday!We kick things off with jazz hands (because obviously that's how serious radio begins), before diving into the slow-motion meltdown that is Rizz being left home alone for a week. Talking to dogs, narrating his own life, and possibly unraveling mentally? Yeah, we're keeping an eye on that.Then Lern casually drops that she went to a roller rink… alone… in a giant coat… just to hang out. Which opens the floodgates for one of the most relatable discussions ever: the “king of the roller rink” — that one guy who peaked gliding backwards under neon lights and never emotionally recovered. Naturally, this leads to a completely serious business pitch to buy and reinvent a roller rink, which financial advisors everywhere would absolutely hate.From there, things take a turn into “why is this even legal?” territory as we break down cousin marriage laws across the U.S. — including the deeply unsettling realization that some states are way more relaxed about it than you'd hope. And because we're nothing if not educational, we somehow connect that to King Tut, inbreeding, and what ancient people might think of our modern faces. (Spoiler: they'd probably hate us.)Then comes the story that flips the whole episode: a woman who wrote a children's book about coping with grief… after allegedly causing her husband's death. It's part true crime, part “are we seriously talking about this right now,” and fully the kind of content you only get from a funny podcast that thrives in the gray area between hilarious and horrifying.We wrap things up with a viral Frontier Airlines controversy that proves once again: the internet reacts first, facts come later. Add in some airport anxiety, retail apocalypse talk, and why you can't flirt anywhere anymore, and you've got a perfectly chaotic ride.If you drive an electric vehicle, can you park in a charging spot without actually charging… or does that instantly make you public enemy number one? The gang breaks it down like only a funny podcast can—half logic, half roasting, zero resolution.Then things take a turn into the existential (as they always do). If an alien landed on Earth and asked, “What should I watch?”—what do you show them? The answers range from wholesome (Mr. Rogers) to wildly questionable (Always Sunny, ALF, and yes… COPS). It becomes less about TV and more about what we're accidentally admitting about humanity. Spoiler: it's not great.From there, we dive into the unexpected comeback of vinyl records hitting BILLION-dollar sales (thanks, Taylor Swift, we guess), and whether physical media is actually back or just a hipster fever dream.

It's the kind of thoughtful chaos you only get from a group of grown adults who absolutely should know better.From there, things spiral exactly how you'd expect on a comedy podcast. The crew dives into a round of “3 & 5,” where listeners attempt to name three things in five seconds—and somehow, that simple concept completely unravels. We're talking missed layups, confident wrong answers, arguments with the hosts, and at least one moment where it feels like reality itself glitches. If you've ever yelled at your radio during a game, congratulations—you're about to feel seen.As the game continues, we get debates over pizza toppings, confusion about movies currently in theaters (spoiler: nobody knows), and a surprisingly passionate breakdown of fruits with pits. It's the perfect storm of quick thinking, slow thinking, and absolutely no thinking at all. This comedy podcast thrives in that sweet spot between “we've got this” and “we absolutely do not.”Then, because the show refuses to stay in one lane, we pivot into a discussion about National Sloppy Joe Day, the mysterious “Yip Yip” sandwich, and whether certain regional foods should even exist. Throw in some hockey talk, steakhouse flexing, and a full-on debate about cream spinach, and you've got a comedy podcast episode that somehow covers everything and nothing at the same time.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Floridians can still marry their cousins after lawmakers fail to pass statewide banWoman claims she was kicked off flight for being deaf — but Frontier tells a different storyService Tenants Dominate Retail Leasing MarketVinyl Sales Hit $1 Billion In U.S. Revenue Last YearSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben, recording today in downtown Dhaka, the overcrowded capital of Bangladesh. Follow me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new Chinese city to pray for every single day. Feel free to email anytime: chinacompass @ privacyport.com. Check out PrayGiveGo.us for everything else, incl. Patreon, Substack & books… The Memoirs of William Milne (PrayGiveGo.us) The Autobiography of John G. Paton (JohnGPaton.com) Borden of Yale: The Millionaire Missionary (BordenofYale.com) Unbeaten: Arrested, Interrogated, and Deported from China (Unbeaten.vip) Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. Thoughts on Bangladesh and How to Pray… When I first started learning about Bangladesh in 2002, there were only about 130+ million people. Today that number is closer to 180! Let me help you with an example of just how crowded it is… similar in size to Georgia, Iowa, and Alabama, but with 15 or 25x more people!s **Bangladesh is the most densely populated sovereign nation larger than 1,000 square miles** - It has a population density of roughly 3,538 per sq. mile (1400/km)! - Virtually all higher-density entries are tiny city-states, territories, or micro-nations far below 1,000 square miles, including: Macau (~33 km², ~22,000/km²), Monaco (~2 km², ~19,000/km²), Singapore (~710 km², ~8,225/km²), and Hong Kong (~1,100 km², ~7,000/km²). - Among sovereign countries (or comparable large entities) exceeding the size threshold, no other nation surpasses Bangladesh. Next in line for larger countries include places like Taiwan (~636/km²), the Netherlands (~548/km²), and South Korea (~529/km²). Islam growing faster than anything else Christians converted from Islam are growing, but still a tiny minority (200k) Pray for more laborers, open doors, boldness, and protection from the evil one As always, put yourself “in their shoes” as you pray… How to Give?

Drift off with calm bedtime reading designed to help quiet the mind and guide you toward sleep, especially if insomnia or restless nights have been keeping you awake. This peaceful bedtime reading explores the Fermi Paradox while creating a calm atmosphere for sleep and easing the tension that insomnia can bring. Tonight, we gently explore one of the universe's most fascinating questions: if the galaxy contains billions of stars and likely many Earth-like planets, why haven't we encountered signs of extraterrestrial civilizations? As the episode unfolds, you'll slowly discover the ideas behind the Fermi Paradox, from the vast scale of the Milky Way to possible explanations like the Great Filter, rare life, or civilizations that simply remain quiet. Benjamin reads in a soothing, steady cadence designed to help your thoughts slow down as you learn something new. There's no whispering or sudden sounds, just calm, fact filled educational reading that gradually fades into the background as sleep approaches. If anxiety, stress, or insomnia makes it difficult to drift off, this gentle exploration of cosmic mystery offers the perfect balance of curiosity and calm. Press play, relax your mind, and allow the quiet wonder of the universe to carry you softly toward sleep. Happy sleeping!

WhoTim Smith, President and General Manager of Waterville Valley, New HampshireRecorded onNovember 12, 2025About Waterville ValleyClick here for a mountain stats overviewOwned by: The Sununu FamilyLocated in: Waterville Valley, New HampshireYear founded: 1966Pass affiliations:* Indy Pass, Indy+ Pass: 2 days, no blackouts* White Mountain Super Pass: unlimited, no blackouts* Indy Learn-to-Turn: 3 days, includes rentals, lesson, lift ticket; limited lift access* Ski New Hampshire Kids Passport: 1 day with holiday blackouts* Uphill New England: no lift accessBase elevation: 1,984 feet (highest in New Hampshire, 3rd in New England)Summit elevation: 4,004 feet (2nd-highest in New Hampshire, 5th in New England)Vertical drop: 2,020 feet (4th-highest in New Hampshire, 14th in New England)Skiable acres: 265Average annual snowfall: 148 inchesTrail count: 62 (14% novice, 64% intermediate, 22% advanced)Lift count: 10 (1 six-pack, 1 high-speed quad, 2 triples, 2 doubles, 2 T-bars, 2 carpets)Why I interviewed himWell no one wants to hear this but we got to $300 lift tickets the same way we got to $80,000 pickup trucks. We're Americans Goddamnit and we just can't do stickshifts and we sure as s**t ain't standin' up on our skis to ride back up the mountain. It's pure agony you see. We need us a nine-pack chairlift with a bubble and a breakroom and a minibar and surround sound and Lazy-Boy seats and hell no we ain't ridin' it with eight strangers we'll hold back and take a whole chair to our ownselves. And it needs to move fast, Son. Like embarrass-the-Concord fast because God help us we spend more than 90 seconds with our own thoughts.I'm not aiming to get kicked out of America here, but if I may submit a few requests regarding our self-inflicted false price floors. I would like the option of purchasing a brand-new car with a manual transmission and windows rolled up and down with a hand-crank. I would like to keep pedaling my bicycle. I would like to cut the number of holidays with commercial mandates by 80 percent. I would prefer that we not set the air-conditioners to 60 when it's 65 degrees outside. This doesn't mean I want to get rid of all the air-conditioners but could we maybe take it easy on the frostbite-in-July overkill of it all?My Heretic Wishlist for American Skiing includes but is not limited to: more surface lifts, especially to serve terrain parks, high-altitude exposed terrain, and expert pods; on-resort lodging that does not still require a commute-by-personal-vehicle to reach the lifts; and thoughtful terrain management that retains ungroomed sections for skiers who like things about skiing other than going fast.Waterville Valley is doing all of these things. It is perhaps the only major American ski area in decades to replace a chairlift with a surface lift on a non-beginner terrain pod, and the only one to build two new T-bars this century. A planned gondola would connect Waterville Valley the town with Waterville Valley the ski area, correcting an only-in-America setup that separates these inseparable places by two miles of road. The glade network grows annually in both subtle and obvious ways.This is not a ski area going in reverse. Waterville is modern and keeps modernizing. The four-year-old Tecumseh bubble six-pack, though bookended with T-bars, is one of the nicest chairlifts in America. Skiers still go groomer-kaboom on morning cord. Suburban office-park dads with interstate commutes and a habit of lecturing the Facebook Commons about the virtues of snow tires can still park their 42-wheel-drive Abrams-Caterpillar-F-15,000 Tanktruck in sub-parking lot 42Z and walk uphill to the lifts. But Waterville Valley is one of a handful of American ski areas, along with Killington and Deer Valley and Winter Park, that is embracing all of our luxe cultural excesses while pursuing the very un-American ambition of putting more skiers close to skiing.No ski area is perfect. For all the cash saved on those T-bars, peak-day Waterville lift tickets still hit $145. The mountain's season pass is the second-most expensive single-mountain season passes in New England – more than a top-line Epic Pass (an adult WV pass includes a free pass for a kid age 6 to 12, which is great if you have one of those). That's bold pricing for the 22nd-largest ski area in New England, especially one that still spins three Stadeli chairlifts that predate the extinction of the dinosaurs. And two high-speed chairlifts is not a lot of high-speed chairlifts for a 2,000-vertical-foot ski area (though about half of New England's 2,000-footers run just two or fewer detaches).Yeah I know. Sick burn from someone who was waxing about surface lifts four paragraphs ago. I may have collected too many ski area Lego blocks in my mental bucket, and they don't always click together back here on planet Earth. “More villages,” I say while dismissing Aspen as a subsidized simulacrum of itself. “Big fast lifts rule,” I say while setting off fire alarms as first-generation chairlifts disintegrate and the cost of their most basic replacements escalates. “No-grooming, all-glades makes the best ski area,” I say, while condemning resort operators for $356 lift tickets that dam the masses. “Vail is too expensive,” I say. “Vail is too cheap,” I also say. “Modernize our chairlifts,” I say while celebrating the joy of riding an antique Riblet double. I endorse ski areas splitting off from conglomerates and ski areas joining them. These narratives can feel contradictory at best and schizophrenic at worst.But that tension is part of what draws me to lift-served ski areas, where two things central to my worldview – wild nature and human invention – merge. Or perhaps more accurately, collide. Both forces act at all times not only to extinguish one another, but themselves: above-freezing temps trash two feet of new snow; bad liftline management cancels out the capacity benefits of a $12 million lift upgrade. Making a ski area function, then, requires continual tweaking, of both the nuanced and look-at-us-press-release variety. A ski area is a business, sure, but that's almost a coincidence. The act of building and running a ski area is foremost an art, architecture, and engineering project that requires a somewhat madcap conductor to succeed. As with any artform, there is no one correct and final way to build a ski area. The variety is central to skiing's appeal. But there are operator/artist attributes - flexibility, inventiveness, consistency tempered by openness to change - that contribute to the overall quality and cohesion of the individual ski area experience in the context of competing ski areas. In the current version of Waterville Valley, we find one of our best contemporary examples of a ski area evolving toward the best version of itself under the stewardship of owners and managers possessing exactly these traits.What we talked aboutThe return of World Cup training and events to Waterville; drifting away from and back toward freeskiing culture; the best terrain parks in New England; why terrain parks are drifting away from mega-features; what happened to all the halfpipes?; and ramps?; no really no one wore helmets in the ‘90s; building terrain parks before institutional knowledge and the internet; the lost Hidden Valley, Wisconsin ski area; the rise of the high-speed ropetow; why Waterville replaced one T-bar and one Poma with a new T-bar (rather than a chairlift); why Waterville installed night skiing; the return of the Exhibition terrain park; self-installing the World Cup T-bar; Waterville's ops blog; why the Tecumseh Express sixer needed new bubbles after just a couple of seasons; why bubbles cost so much and how Waterville manufactured a less expensive one; Tecumseh's incredible wind resistance; MND lifts as an alternative to the two large U.S.-based lift manufacturers; a chairlift's “infancy” and how different 2020s lift technology is from early detachable tech; how Waterville's masterplan would reorient the mountain and skier traffic with an expansion and new lifts; Waterville's declining skier visits and whether that's a bad thing; how the resort's 1994 bankruptcy changed Waterville's trajectory; what stoked the Green Peak expansion; “we've been on a track to try to rebuild that energy we saw in the 1990s”; why Waterville turned away from discounting; “the right quantity of skiers on the right amount of surface”; building more terrain diversity; and a gondola connection from town to mountain.Should someone tell them they're running it backwards? Video by Stuart Winchester.What I got wrong* I said that the “High Country double chair was still standing” – what I meant was that parts of it were still in place. The top terminal remains, sans bullwheel, and the base terminal and motor room remain as a patrol shack:* I said that Waterville hadn't been known for terrain parks until recently, but Smith recalled that the ski area was more freestyle-centric from the ‘70s through the ‘90s, before pulling back during the first part of this century.* I said that 1,100 skiers per hour was “a little less than what a double chair would move,” thinking standard capacity for a double was 1,200 per hour. Smith says it is 900. Exact capacity varies from lift-to-lift, however. Lift Blog itemizes hourly capacities of between 800 and 1,200 for four of Smugglers' Notch's double chairs, between 1,000 and 1,200 for four of Mt. Spokane's fleet of Riblet doubles, and 1,000 for Waterville's Lower Meadows double. We all know, however, that the hourly capacity for a double chair is however many people are in line minus the number not paying attention minus singles who refuse to ride with anyone. So I don't know maybe 50.Podcast NotesOn other mentioned podcasts* World Cup competition returning to Sun Valley:* Heavenly backing out of mega-parks features:* Killington and the cost of bubbles:* Waterville part 1, from 2021:On Partek and each lift being differentOn Waterville's ownership historyFounder Tom Corcoran owned Waterville Valley from 1966 until 1994, when he sold to American Skiing Company (ASC) antecedent S-K-I. The feds made ASC dispense with Waterville and Cranmore when they merged with LBO Enterprises in 1996. Booth Creek (more on them below), bought the ski area and held it until 2010, when they sold it to the Sununu family. This makes Waterville one of just a handful of ski areas to ever enter a multi-mountain pass portfolio and then exit to independence - though Killington and Ragged recently did exactly that, and Eldora may follow.On Mt. Holiday, MichiganThis is just a little 200-footer, but it's still around on the outskirts of Traverse City, Michigan:That trailmap doesn't really communicate the ski area's essence. A little better are these pics I took on a summertime swing-through a few years back:I never skied there though, always preferring the far-larger Sugar Loaf, right down the road (which Smith and I also discussed):Until it was abandoned around 2000, this was one of the better ski areas in Michigan's Lower Peninsula. After a succession of owners - one of whom stripped all the chairlifts off the bump - failed to bring skiing back, the Leelanau Conservancy recently took ownership of the property. Skiing will return as an officially sanctioned activity, though unfortunately without a lift or snowmaking. I would have at least liked to have seen a ropetow. Here's their vision:On midwestskier.com Yes, Kids, the internet really did used to look like this:On Hidden Valley, WisconsinHere's a little ski hill that didn't make it. Smith spent time at Hidden Valley, Wisconsin, which opened in 1956 and closed forever in 2013. The chairlift appears to have been moved to nearby, county-run Kewaunee Winter Park, where it awaits installation.On high-speed ropetowsI am a huge fan of high-speed ropetows, which are a cheap and effective means to isolate users of terrain parks or other specialized, intensive-use zones from the broader ski area. Here's one at Spirit Mountain, Minnesota in 2023 (video by Stuart Winchester):On Waterville Valley's masterplanThis is perhaps the best angle of how Waterville's expansion would connect the legacy trail network to the town:Here's the Forest Service masterplan slide:Neither of these images, however, show how the gondola would eventually connect down into town, which is the crucial element of transforming Waterville Valley from a ski-area-that-says-it's-a-ski-resort into an actual ski resort. Here's a look at that connection:Waterville set up an excellent microsite detailing the hoped-for evolution.On Booth CreekAt the mid-90s height of American Skiing Company dominance, a former Vail executive assembled a cross-country ski area portfolio with ambitions of creating a hub-and-spoke network:Booth Creek ultimately sold off most of its properties, but still own Sierra-at-Tahoe. Grand Targhee GM Geordie Gillett was involved in the whole saga and broke it down for us in 2024:On Waterville going from one of the oldest lift fleets in New England to one of the most modernWhile Waterville runs some of the last Stadeli lifts in America (I count 16), the ski area has modernized extensively over the past decade:On U.S. Forest Service ski areas in the EastMost (109) of the 119 active U.S. ski areas on United States Forest Service leases sit in the West; two are in the Midwest, and eight are in the East: Bromley, Mount Snow, and Sugarbush, Vermont; Waterville Valley, Loon, Attitash, and Wildcat, New Hampshire; and Timberline, West Virginia. None, as far as I know, sit entirely within the boundaries of a national forest, but even partial overlap triggers the requirement to submit an updated masterplan each decade.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Mother Nature is the ultimate designer. After all, since life first emerged on Earth, she's had 3.8 billion years of evolutionary R&D to get it right. Biomimicry is the art and science of learning from this ineffable genius: tapping into the patterns of nature to live harmoniously with life's principles. We meet Janine Benyus, known as the “godmother of modern biomimicry”. This is an episode of Nature's Genius, a Bioneers podcast series exploring how the sentient symphony of life holds the solutions we need to balance human civilization with living systems. Visit the series page to learn more.

Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Cheap Astronomy asks what's the point and then gets some sunshine. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Did the Universe start from a single point? This hypothetical concept is commonly stated in pop science blogs and we are guilty of doing the same here at Cheap Astronomy. However, it's not necessarily correct. As with most things relating to the Universe, all we can really talk about is the observable Universe. All evidence available does suggest that it emerged from a point source 13.8 billion years ago, but if the actual Universe is bigger than the observable Universe – and it very likely is – then it's not clear that the whole Universe emerged from that point source.   Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is space-based solar power the solution to all our problems? Well, not all our problems and while SBSP is technically feasible, it may not be economically viable. The general idea of SBSP is that you have a solar collecting facility in Earth orbit, which then transmits the energy collected as microwaves down to the Earth's surface. Microwaves are preferred since they pass through the Earth's atmosphere relatively well and should not harm aircraft, ground infrastructure or people if they happen to get in the way. It might seem a bit daft to intercept light that already passes through the Earth's atmosphere, convert it into a lower energy form of light and then pass that through the atmosphere.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Planet revolutionized the Earth observation industry with the highest frequency satellite imagery data commercially available, transforming the way governments and companies deliver insights at the daily pace of change. Their high-resolution daily Earth data, archive, and analytics give customers an unprecedented view, allowing them to cast further and wider in time, space, and frequency.

Gravitational Wave observatory LIGO has seen a signature that looks like the merger of primordial (pre-stellar, big bang (not big band!) era) black holes. If confirmed with future observations, this would tell us a lot about the early universe and potentially shed light on dark matter. Finally! Plus, closer to home, the BLOBs in the Earth's mantle help us untangle the complicated past of our magnetic field.

This episode of the Deeper Podcast examines Eric Weinstein's "Escape Room" hypothesis through the lens of Galatians 5:1-12, asking if our scientific strivings represent a path to freedom or a new "yoke of slavery." We track the 2026 milestones of Artemis II and the 91km Future Circular Collider alongside the 85-second Doomsday Clock, weighing whether these projects offer liberation or merely a more sophisticated confinement. Finally, we address Peter Thiel's recent warnings in Rome about AI and "Antichrist" technocracies, challenging listeners to discern the difference between a mechanical "exit" from Earth and the true spiritual liberty that refuses to be burdened again by the stagnation of a fallen world.

In this powerful QHHT Hypnosis session episode, I guide a client through a profound Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique session that reveals multiple past lives connected by a deep soul theme of abandonment.As we begin this episode, my client first finds herself in what she describes as an 8th-dimensional realm, a place of overwhelming love, beauty, and peace. The contrast between this higher dimension and life on Earth is profound, reminding us of the true origins of the soul.As the regression unfolds, my client is shown several lifetimes that help her understand the deeper purpose behind difficult experiences in this life. Through the guidance of the Higher Self, the soul reveals how these challenges were chosen for growth, healing, and evolution.This episode explores powerful spiritual topics including:• Past life regression • Higher Self communication • Soul contracts and life lessons • Spiritual awakening • Higher dimensions of consciousness • Healing abandonment wounds through past livesIf you've ever wondered why souls choose difficult experiences or what exists beyond our physical reality, this session offers a glimpse into the profound wisdom of the soul.✨ Remember where your soul comes from and how that remembrance can help us bring more love, healing, and heaven to Earth.#akashicrecords #soulconnection #soutlessons #soulgrowth #pastlifecontracts #soulcontracts #spiritualawakening #higherdoensions #qhhthypnosis #qhhtdolorescannon #dolorescannon #soulhealing Mayra Rath is a Spiritual Hypnotherapist specializing in Past Life Regression Therapy and QHHT Hypnosis.

What if the technology that could save humanity…could also predict its end? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Michio Kaku — legendary cofounder of string field theory and author of Quantum Supremacy — breaks down the quantum revolution that's about to change everything. What is quantum computing, really? Dr. Kaku explains its evolution from wild theory to world-altering reality — and how it could soon solve problems today's supercomputers can't even touch. But that's just the beginning. He reveals how quantum computing could: - Extend human longevity and transform medicine - Track dangerous asteroids before they strike - Accelerate the search for extraterrestrial life - Predict possible planetary catastrophes - Help us study parallel universes Are black holes actually gateways to interstellar travel? Dr. Kaku explains the shocking physics that suggests they might not just destroy matter, but connect distant regions of space-time. Are we alone in the universe? He explains why he believes we are not, and how string theory may one day prove the existence of a multiverse. Artificial Intelligence: Humanity's Greatest Tool — or Its Biggest Threat? Dr. Kaku shares why advancing AI deeply concerns him, why fighting AI may be the wrong strategy, and why he believes we may eventually need to merge with it instead. Could AI and robots become our partners in space exploration? Will artificial intelligence ever achieve consciousness? What would physically merging with technology actually look like? And what safeguards must we build before that future arrives? Plus: Why he predicts we may see more “3I/ATLAS”-type interstellar comets entering our solar system, and what that means for Earth. From quantum supremacy to the multiverse…from AI-human integration to black holes as cosmic gateways…this conversation explores the future of humanity at its most extreme edge. The future isn't science fiction. It's already unfolding.

Haley Adams is back. After a ten-year career in CrossFit that started when she was just 14 years old, the 2018 Fittest Teen on Earth took a much-needed break in 2023. Today, she opens up about the weight of expectations and the intense pressure she felt after moving to the individual division. She discusses how negative social media comments impacted her body image and relationship with food, and how stepping away allowed her the space she needed to focus on both her mental and physical health. Haley shares the joy of rediscovering her love for training, learning to prioritize wellness over burning calories, and the excitement of joining the Red Bull family. We also touch on her fifth-place finish at the 2024 CrossFit Games and her life beyond the box, (that's CrossFit-speak for gym) — including her love for Disney movies and her ever-growing family of animals. IN THIS EPISODE Haley’s early start in CrossFit at age 14 and her transition from gymnastics. Winning the teenage division and the onset of intense pressure as an individual competitor. The impact of social media on her body image and mental health. Her decision to take a year off in 2023 and the "total mental breakdown" that led to it. The healing process, returning home to North Carolina, and rediscovering the fun in fitness. Learning to fuel her body properly and moving away from disordered eating habits. Her current training routine, recovery strategies, and the importance of a support system. Life outside the gym: Disney movies, her two cats, Australian Shepherd puppy, axolotl, and hermit crabs. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "By taking that step back, I chose myself. And that’s the most beautiful example. I think so many amazing things came from that." "I realized like, sure I was at rock bottom, but it can’t get worse. Things get hard, but don’t give up on yourself." "I was training so much because I was scared that someone was going to outwork me ... just a tunnel vision, nothing else in the world mattered to me. That’s all I cared about." "It’s okay to still have bad days. It’s not the end of the world. It doesn’t mean that you’re taking a step backwards or going into your old ways." "Try to enjoy the whole process because it could be gone tomorrow. Once I learned to enjoy competing again, it was like a whole different experience." "I’ve learned to be a lot nicer to myself because, at the end of the day, this is the voice that you’re stuck with in your head. So you might as well make it nice."

Before astronauts, before rockets, and decades before the space race… one man built a metal sphere, attached it to a balloon, and rode it to the edge of space. In this episode we explore the incredible story of Auguste Piccard, the Swiss physicist and explorer who pushed the limits of human exploration in two completely opposite directions: the stratosphere above Earth and the deepest trenches of the ocean. In 1931, Piccard became the first human to reach the upper stratosphere inside a pressurized gondola, witnessing the curvature of the Earth and a sky so dark it resembled space itself. But he wasn't finished. Later in life he invented the bathyscaphe, a revolutionary deep-sea vessel that would eventually allow his son to descend nearly seven miles to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. From cosmic rays and balloon flights to deep-sea exploration and the limits of human survival, Piccard's work helped shape the technology that would later lead to modern spacecraft and deep-ocean submersibles. This is the story of a man who helped humanity explore both the highest and lowest frontiers of our planet. Listen. Learn. Laugh. Question everything.

Evan Singleton joins Bobby and Eddie in studio to talk about the long road from pro wrestling dreams to becoming one of the strongest men on the planet. He opens up about suffering a near-death brain hemorrhage early in his career, how that ended one chapter of his life, and how he eventually found a new purpose in strongman competition.
