Texas Standard had the best seat in the state for the recent Geminid meteor shower. We're revisiting our special broadcast from the McDonald Observatory earlier this month. We’re focused on space science, including the history of this West Texas research gem – and how it’s continuing to contribute to what we know about the universe and beyond.

Major changes are coming to home heating in Colorado—and most homeowners don't know it. On this episode of https://FixIt-Radio.com, host John Rush, with Larry Unger and Charlie Grimes, welcomes Hunter of Cub Creek Heating & Air Conditioning (https://www.cubcreekhvac.com) to explain what Colorado's new ultra-low NOx regulations mean when they take effect January 1, 2026. Are your furnace and water heater now costlier to replace? Will maintaining high-altitude and propane systems become harder? Why are some homeowners advised to “wait it out,” while others are told to act now? Hunter explains how new systems rely on tighter combustion controls, why maintenance and installation matter more than ever, and which homes—especially older or mountain properties—may be most affected. The discussion also clarifies confusion about boilers, Energy Star exemptions, electricity usage, and whether appliances like gas ranges, dryers, and wood-burning stoves could be next. Is Colorado moving quietly toward full electrification, and is the electric grid ready? This episode reveals how policy changes and real-world costs will affect homeowners—before a furnace fails on the coldest night of the year. If you own a home, plan to remodel, or simply want to know what's coming, don't miss this Fix It Radio episode.

https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile tackles one of the most expensive—and misunderstood—decisions most people face: buying and financing a car. Host John Rush, joined by co-host Luke, exposes dealership tactics, loan traps, and negotiation mistakes that quietly cost buyers thousands. Why is December the best time to buy a car? John explains how quotas, incentives, and hidden discounts can change the final price—if you know how to find and use them. The conversation turns serious as John breaks down negative equity, long-term loans, and why rolling debt from one vehicle into the next can spiral out of control faster than most buyers realize. How do depreciation and front-loaded interest really work? And how can simple tools like amortization schedules help you predict whether you'll be upside down years before you sign? John confronts myths head-on: Is paying cash really the smartest move, or a costly mistake? Why do dealers urgently steer conversations to monthly payments instead of the total price? And why can some “cheap” cars explode into disastrous financial traps before you even realize it? Using a real-world example—a young buyer who paid off her car early—John gives a clear, practical roadmap for protecting yourself. Covering pre-approval, trade-in timing, and essential sales tax math, this episode equips listeners to make more confident, informed car-buying decisions. Are you ready to outsmart the dealership—armed with the strategies you need to save money and avoid costly mistakes? Tune in and take control of your next car purchase.

Buying ladybugs for biological control of pests can contribute to depleting the ladybug population in the wild and raises other concerns as well. Meanwhile, non-native ladybugs do the same valuable work — eating aphids and other pests that harm crops — but are often cast in a bad light anyway. My guest in this week's encore, Dr. Kaitlin Stack Whitney, an environmental studies scholar as well as a home gardener, explains that non-native insects don't always deserve their bad rap.

Hey everyone...welcome to our bi-monthly ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vault!This was a special one...director Ryan Worsley had just finished the film at the time of this recording and was publicly screening it along with Negativland performing live afterwards. Not only was it the best Negativland performance I had ever seen, but it was also one of the most powerful (upsetting and darkly funny) shows I'd ever witnessed. A band that is notoriously difficult to pin down was explored beautifully with Stand By For Failure, so I was excited to get into the weeds (and we do!).(EPISODE 55 originally aired Sept 26th 2024)ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:This week, we are joined by documentary filmmaker RYAN WORLSEY to discuss her film STAND BY FOR FAILURE: A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT NEGATIVLAND. We discuss how Ryan was introduced to the world of Negativland and what she thought of it, how she decided the best way to tell their complicated but surpringly emotional story, the fair use doctrine and copyright law, are Negativland really a band, David Wills (aka The Weatherman) and his astonishing talents & laughter through it all, Negativland's origin story, how Negativland's current live show We Can Really Feel LIke We're Here might be their most powerful work to date, the band signing and then getting sued by SST Records, their long-running radio show Over The Edge, what Negativland did with band member Don Joyce's ashes after his passing, can you still culture jam today, plunderphonics, how Negativland's perceptions of the world are formed through their music and then mirrored back to us, Richard Lyons' and his alter egos, the U2 lawsuit against the band, the majesty of Casey Casem swearing, the resilience of the band through all their hardships, seeing the inside of The Residents' recording studio in the film, the Christianity Is Stupid murder myth, how artist's are still getting ripped off, what it's like being the subject of a documentary, where Ryan & Negativland stand on AI, and the cultural desert that is the suburbs.Is there any escape from noise?

What really happens when blame takes over our relationships—and how can we break free from its toxic grip? In this thought-provoking episode of "Strong Mind, Strong Body," host Angie Miller and featured guest, Dr. Nilda Perez, dive into “The Cost of Blame: How It Hurts Relationships,” unpacking why finger-pointing is so destructive and what you can do about it. Drawing from real-life examples and Dr. Perez's expertise in behavioral health, this episode goes deep into the “blame cycle”—how it often begins in childhood, shapes our adult interactions, and spirals into victimhood, isolation, anxiety, and even depression. Discover why chronic blamers act the way they do, the difference between healthy accountability and toxic blame, and how subtle language (“I'm sorry you feel that way...”) keeps us stuck. You'll learn practical, science-backed strategies to ditch the blame game—like pressing pause, taking true responsibility, embracing “both/and” thinking, and asking, “How does it feel to always be the victim?” This isn't just self-help fluff: the episode reveals how blame rewires your brain and undermines both mental health and meaningful connection. If you're ready to transform your relationships, boost self-awareness, and truly step into your own power (or just want to end endless arguments), this is a must-listen.

What really separates a smart used-car purchase from a costly mistake? In this episode of https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile, host John Rush—an automotive industry expert with decades of experience—pulls back the curtain on what most buyers get wrong—and why rushing the process almost always leads to regret. He is joined in-studio by engineer Luke Cashman. The conversation starts with mindset. Is your car a tool—or part of your identity? That distinction, John explains, can quietly sabotage your decisions. He walks listeners through a disciplined approach: define needs vs. wants, spend at least 30 days shopping, and avoid emotional choices in emergencies. Why might renting for a month save thousands? Why are Friday-night purchases among the worst mistakes? John also dismantles common myths, such as the nonexistent “72-hour return rule,” then explains why highway miles are easier on a car than low-mile city driving. Next, the episode covers one of the most critical—and dangerous—areas: online listings and scams. How are even experts losing tens of thousands of dollars? Why can't you trust AI-generated photos, calls, or videos at face value? Listeners are warned about non-refundable deposits, fake dealer listings, and deals that seem “too good to be true.” John lays out rules: never wire money, never buy sight unseen, and always verify who you're buying from—dealer or private party. He explains how to use time wisely, negotiate, and even pit dealers against each other. This episode isn't about finding a car. It's about avoiding the wrong one. Are you buying wisely, or setting yourself up to be the next cautionary tale?

On this episode of https://Ready-Radio.com, host John Rush and preparedness expert Bill Anderson (https://Prep2ProtectCO.com) deliver a gripping, eye-opening journey into the fragile world we trust far too much. What happens when the everyday tools you rely on—your generator, your car, your grid—fail without warning? Are you truly prepared for the what-ifs of life, or are you only prepared for the things that go as planned? The conversation begins with a stark reminder: even a simple two-hour blackout can expose just how dependent we've become on electricity, convenience, and the illusion of control. John and Bill break down the myth of invincibility as they talk about forgotten tools, unreliable generators, winter breakdowns, and real-life rescues where drivers were stranded just 50 yards from help—but invisible to the world above. How fast would your life change if the lights went out today? Then the stakes rise. Bill reveals the hidden weak points of the modern power grid—especially aging underground cables, overloaded transformers, and the soaring electrical demands of EV chargers, appliances, and all-electric homes. Could your home's wiring be a time bomb from the 1980s? And what happens when utilities start shutting off power pre-emptively to avoid liability? Finally, the conversation takes a turn toward winter travel and real-world survival mindset. From cold-weather driving to failing EV range to the dangers of complacency, the message is clear: tools matter, but skill, awareness, and adaptability matter more. Are you ready to be your own backup plan? This episode doesn't just teach preparedness—it challenges everything you think you know about it.
What if your Christmas lights could be brighter, safer, cheaper to run—and easier to put up than ever before? On this episode of https://FixItRadio.com, John and Larry crack open the secret world of modern holiday lighting and reveal how far technology has come. Why wrestle with old incandescent strands, blown fuses, and sky-high electric bills when LEDs have changed everything? And could upgrading your setup actually save you money in the very first season? From massive C9 commercial-grade bulbs to customizable 100-foot spools, this episode exposes tricks the big-box stores don't want you to know. What online sources offer better quality at half the cost? How many lights can you safely run on one circuit? And what simple swap could prevent fires, burns, and dangerous blowouts in the garage? But the conversation doesn't stop at lights. What about ladder safety—the overlooked hazard that ruins thousands of holiday seasons? Or the new wave of AI-designed displays, right-angle drill adapters, magnetic screw holders, and even dual-bit swivel drills that make decorating and repairs easier than ever? Whether you want a glowing roofline, kinetic projectors, or a perfectly synchronized front-yard masterpiece, this episode delivers the insider knowledge you didn't know you needed. Ready to light your home smarter, safer, and with far less stress? Tune in—and brighten your season.
