"Anybody who sees trauma in life or has experienced it... those things stay with you. And I think that they make us the present version of who we are on whatever journey we're on." One year ago in Los Angeles, Jacob Soboroff watched his childhood home turn to ash amongst the thousands of others in one of the most destructive wildfires in history. But, before he was on the front lines covering the devastation of the Palisades and Eaton fires that killed 31 people and destroyed more than 13,000 homes and properties, he was a young student with absolutely no interest in journalism. Jacob talks to Dan about his journey, from theater student to political staffer to journalist. He shares his experiences finding connection, humanity, and hope in the most hopeless of times - in the aftermath of natural disasters, the horror of watching family separation during the first Trump administration... and his concerns about the administration's current anti-immigration efforts seen in ICE raids terrorizing communities across the country. Jacob's book, "Firestorm: The Great Los Angeles Fires and America's New Age of Disaster", is available now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

One year after the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires, we take a hard look at what’s changed — and what hasn’t. The crew digs into LAFD budget shortfalls, chronic staffing issues, and the uncomfortable question of how to make sure a disaster like this never happens again. The conversation turns personal with David Howard, an iHeart sales manager who lost his home in the Palisades fires. He shares his experience navigating insurance, rebuilding, and why residents are rallying for accountability as new changes to the After-Action Report raise serious questions about responsibility and transparency from city and county leadership. We continue the discussion on the slow, frustrating pace of rebuilding across fire-impacted neighborhoods — from permits and inspections to bureaucratic delays that many feel are holding community's hostage. Plus, Heather Brooker reports live from Altadena, where she speaks directly with residents about how life has changed since the fires, the emotional toll one year later, and a community gathering aimed at bringing people together and moving forward.

A year ago this week, the Eaton and Palisades fires broke out in Los Angeles, and ultimately became one of the most destructive urban fire events in recent history. Today we'll hear about a community brigade that is taking firefighting into its own hands through a technique called “home hardening.”Journalist Adriana Cargill, host of the new podcast “The Palisades Fire: A Sandcastle Special” from PRX, embedded with this group to understand what the future of firefighting could look like. She and Jack Cohen, a former research scientist with the USDA Forest Service, join Host Flora Lichtman to explain the science behind how people can prevent their own homes from burning.Guests:Adriana Cargill is a multimedia journalist and host of the podcast “The Palisades Fire: A Sandcastles Special.” She is based in Los Angeles, California.Dr. Jack Cohen is a former research physical scientist with the USDA Forest Service, based in Missoula, Montana.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

The estimated value of the homes wiped out by the Eaton and Palisades fires one year ago? $27 billion. On a single street in Altadena, 15 houses were destroyed, including that of "Marketplace Morning Report" host David Brancaccio. This morning, Brancaccio checks in with two families on his block — one who decided to sell and one who's already partly rebuilt. Then, how will investors respond to this morning's private payroll data?

A survey released in the fall finds that most people displaced by the Southern California wildfires a year ago are still living in temporary housing. Since so few homes have been rebuilt, how are people paying for shelter? Today, we'll hear how survivors have organized to demand accountability and the resources needed. Plus, a semiconductor chip shortage echoes the great supply chain crisis of 2020, but this time it's driven by AI.

One year ago today, two fires erupted in Los Angeles County. The Palisades and Eaton fires would eventually become two of the most destructive and deadly fires in state history. Thousands of homes were destroyed and 31 people were killed. The rebuilding process has been slow in both Altadena and Pacific Palisades, the communities most greatly impacted by the fires. We wanted to get the perspective from longtime residents who are part of that process. Residents in the north state are likely to see a flurry of elections for Congress this year, after the passing of longtime Republican Congressman Doug LaMalfa.

January 7 marks one year since the Palisades and Eaton fires ignited in Los Angeles County. MS NOW senior political reporter Jacob Soboroff reported on the fires, an assignment he pursued because he grew up in Pacific Palisades, despite the emotional challenges of the task. As he writes in his new book, “Firestorm,” “What are you supposed to say when the entire community you were born and raised in is wiped off the map, literally burning to the ground before your eyes?” Soboroff joins us to share how he found the words, where recovery stands in LA and why we're now in “America's New Age of Disaster.” Guests: Jacob Soboroff, senior political and national reporter, MS NOW (formerly MSNBC); author, "Firestorm: The Great Los Angeles Fires and America's New Age of Disaster" and "Separated: Inside An American Tragedy" Learn more about your ad choices.

On the evening of  January 7, 2025 several destructive wildfires swept through the Los Angeles area, including the fast-moving Eaton Fire near the neighborhoods of Altadena and Pasadena. Firefighters and three night-flying helicopters with the Los Angeles County Fire Department were ordered to respond. They intended to drop water on the Eaton fire but, buffeted by ferocious updrafts and downdrafts, aborted the operation at 6:45 p.m. By midnight, the fire expanded to over 1,000 acres fueled by strong Santa Ana wind blowing northeast to southwest with gusts of up to 100 mph.As flames threatened neighborhoods, Pasadena Transit operators from Transdev were called on to help. Working around the clock for three days, fourteen bus drivers led by their manager and dispatcher Letty Ochoa and assistant general manager Erasmo Rodriguez, drove through flames, flying embers and overwhelming smoke and managed to rescue 500 people living in senior centers and getting them out of harm's way. Letty Ochoa is with us to talk about that dramatic experience and the heroic response of members of Transdev when their community was threatened. The Eaton Fire eventually killed 19 people and destroyed more than 9,000 buildings, becoming the 5th deadliest and 2nd most destructive wildfire in California history. It burned simultaneously with the deadly and destructive Palisades Fire in the Santa Monica Mountains, which spread to 23,448 acres, killed 12 people and destroyed 6,837 structures.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Happy New Year, and welcome back to the Outdoor Minimalist podcast. After a much-needed hiatus, I've had time to reflect on where this show is headed—and how I can better manage the energy and care that go into producing it.With that in mind, I want to share a few updates you can expect as we move through 2026.First, our Monday episodes aren't changing. We'll continue releasing weekly expert interviews on a wide range of topics, many of which come directly from listener requests. If there's a topic or guest you'd love to hear on the show, I'd genuinely love to know. You can reach out to me on social media or through theoutdoorminimalist.com.Our Friday episodes are where you'll see a small shift. We'll continue covering public lands policy, but in a more focused way. There are incredible organizations—like Western Priorities and the newly founded Re:Public—doing dedicated, in-depth public lands reporting, and we want to help support and uplift that work. Producing two episodes every week, with one being a news-focused show, isn't sustainable long-term, so moving forward, Friday episodes will be released every other week.The good news is that public lands coverage isn't going away—it'll just be less frequent on the podcast. For more regular updates, you can follow us on Instagram and TikTok, or subscribe to our weekly newsletter. And when those Friday episodes do drop, I hope you'll continue tuning in.So, to recap: Monday episodes will continue weekly, just as they have for the past three years, and Friday episodes will now be released every other Friday.Now, onto the show.In episode 205 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we are talking about wildfire—but not in the way it's usually framed.So much of the public conversation around fire focuses on catastrophe: dramatic footage, scorched landscapes, and endless debates about forest thinning or suppression. But what often gets lost is the science—and more importantly, the solutions that actually determine whether homes and communities survive when fire inevitably arrives.My guest today has spent years working at the intersection of wildfire science, film, and public understanding, pushing back against misinformation and tragedy-only narratives in favor of something more constructive: community resilience.Connor Nelson is a Los Angeles–based cinematographer and documentary filmmaker whose work centers on wildfire, mental health, and addiction. Connor recently shot Inside the L.A. Firestorm, a NASA-supported documentary examining the Palisades and Eaton fires, and he's currently working on an eight-part documentary series focused on wildfire, solutions-based storytelling, and what actually protects communities. Across his work, he challenges the media's tendency to chase tragedy and misinformation, asking a harder—but far more useful—question: What would it look like if we told stories that changed outcomes instead of just documenting loss?Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalistBuy Me a Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠Listener Survey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠------------------Connor NelsonWebsite: https://www.connornelsondp.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/connornelson.dop/Inside the LA Firestorm: https://www.pbs.org/video/weathered-inside-the-la-firestorm-l31r0b/

How does the new Crisis Care Center reflect CMHA-CEI's long-term vision for behavioral health care in our region? What's something you wish more people understood about seeking support for mental health, especially before it becomes a crisis? We know the holidays can be both joyful and difficult. How is CMHA-CEI meeting people where they are emotionally during this season, and why is that important now? How does CMHA-CEI work to make mental health care feel more accessible and less intimidating, including for families and young people? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ HOPE BEYOND WINTER BLUES: Behavioral health center is a guiding light for 2026 A guiding light for Lansing: Crisis Care Center progress offers reassurance during winter months Construction advances on a cornerstone mental health resource and investment for the region LANSING, Mich. — As winter settles across the region, the season brings both reflection and renewed focus on community well-being. Construction continues on the Community Mental Health Authority of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties' (CMHA-CEI) Crisis Care Center—a project grounded in compassion and designed to expand access to fundamental mental health support, bringing warmth and hope as 2025 draws to a close and the community's shared vision for a brighter 2026 approaches. The center's progress shines vividly, reflecting the community's ongoing investment in healing, connection and care for all. As the season of togetherness returns, it can also bring quiet reminders of loneliness or unspoken struggles. For some, the contrast between festive expectations and personal reality can intensify emotional and mental health challenges. When school is on break and routines are disrupted, families often lose access to the daily support systems they rely on, making timely, accessible behavioral health care even more essential. In those moments, CMHA-CEI's existing crisis services for all ages offer immediate, around-the-clock support and will continue to be accessible during a difficult season for resources. The Crisis Care Center stands as a guiding light for the year ahead, expanding support, access and stability for the community in 2026. “This season reminds us how essential it is to have accessible, safe and welcoming spaces for healing,” said Sara Lurie, CEO of CMHA-CEI. “Our community is coming together to offer renewed hope by responding with compassion, innovation and action.” Nearly one in three Americans experience increased holiday stress, and a quarter report worsened mental health during the season, according to the American Psychiatric Association. Top stressors include financial pressures, grief and difficult family dynamics. As the days shorten, “winter blues,” or seasonal depression, can set in, with reduced sunlight disrupting sleep and mood, deepening winter's emotional toll. Even when it doesn't feel like an emergency, individuals experiencing these or other mental health challenges can access support now. CMHA-CEI's Access Center provides same-day assessments and connects individuals to services tailored to their needs. Care is available to everyone in the community, with or without insurance. ### About Community Mental Health Authority of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties (CMHA-CEI): The Community Mental Health Authority of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties (CMHA-CEI) provides a comprehensive range of person-centered, high-quality behavioral health, substance use, and developmental disability services to residents in the region.

As the wildfires ravaged across Los Angeles in January, planes throughout the region began dropping bright red fire retardant onto hillsides and homes in an effort to rein in the fires. Earlier this year, LAist partnered with researchers at USC to test samples of the fire retardant gathered from fire zones in the weeks after the Palisades, Eaton and Franklin fires where it remained on the ground. Those tests, including tests conducted on unused samples of the retardant, found toxic heavy metals including lead, arsenic, cadmium and chromium. These toxic heavy metals can accumulate in the environment and pose risks to humans and wildlife, according to federal and state environmental agencies. Joining us to discuss their investigation on the heavy metals found in the fire retardant used during the recent wildfires is LAist science reporter Jacob Margolis.With files from LAist.

Senator Elissa Slotkin and Retired Major General Paul Eaton join the Daily Beast's Executive Editor Hugh Dougherty to chart the growing alarm inside the national-security world over Trump's increasingly cult-like demands for loyalty. Slotkin, a former CIA officer and Pentagon veteran, lays out how flattery, grievance, and improvisation have replaced strategy in Trump's orbit—leaving the military to navigate chaos, not command. Eaton, one of the Army's most outspoken former generals, explains why Trump's impulses and misinformation pose what he bluntly calls a threat to U.S. readiness. From battlefield myths to political pressure on the ranks, Hugh presses both guests: What happens if Trump once again tries to run the military like it's his personal force? Hosted on Acast.
