Episode 19 of Matt Likes Beer features a seasonal-yet-technical deep dive into Fragile, an Italian-style Pilsner from Heist Brewery in Charlotte, North Carolina. Named after the iconic “Fra-gee-lay” moment from A Christmas Story, this 4.5% lager uses Saphir hops and dry hopping to create a crisp, modern take on a growing craft beer substyle. Matt explores his history with Heist Brewery through Tavour, noting that while he's enjoyed their beers before, this is his first experience with Fragile—and his first Italian Pilsner reviewed on the podcast. He also takes time to highlight Heist's wide-ranging tap list, touching on the brewery's diverse approach beyond the IPA-heavy norm. Because Italian Pilsner isn't a standalone BJCP category, Matt walks listeners through how to properly judge it using BJCP's suggested entry guidelines, evaluating the beer as a 34B Mixed-Style Beer with a German Pilsner base plus dry hopping. The review covers clarity, head retention, hop expression, bitterness levels, mouthfeel, and balance—along with a candid critique of BJCP's notoriously difficult website navigation. Fragile earns a 36 out of 50 (Very Good), matching the previous episode's score but illustrating an important distinction: judging to style versus drinking for enjoyment. While Matt finds the beer slightly restrained for a dry-hopped pilsner in competition terms, he makes it clear this is a beer he would happily order multiple times in a real-world setting—especially as a meal-friendly, refreshing lager with depth. With no beer reviews to roast, the episode closes with a festive twist: Matt reads brutal one-star reviews of A Christmas Story, turning the beer's name into an excuse for some unexpectedly dark and hilarious holiday commentary.

Pelle Peter Jencel har haft musikken tæt på sig hele livet, og i dagens afsnit taler vi om, hvordan den kærlighed har ført ham derhen, hvor han er i dag. Fra at lave mixtapes med vennerne i Allinge på Bornholm til at sidde i bedste sendetid og spille det nyeste af det nye i radioen. Vi snakker om barndommen hos hans far, hvor hele dage kunne gå med MTV i fjernsynet, om hans entreprenante tilgang til drømme og om kreativitet som en rød tråd i alt, han laver. Samtalen kommer også omkring en tragisk oplevelse på hans 18-års fødselsdag på Roskilde Festival i 2004, tiden hvor CHEFF Records nogle gange bare dukkede op i radiostudiet, og hvordan han endte med at signe Specktors og opleve en periode, hvor de nærmest var urørlige.Gå fornøjelse, Christian.Vil du høre resten?

Send us a textIn this Fusion Hack, Allyson Spungin and Drew Brannon break down the truth behind junk volume—one of the most misunderstood concepts in resistance training. They explain how proper volume is built through intentional working sets, why warm-ups, feeders, and back-off sets are not counted as true volume, and how progressive overload should be tracked over time without ego-driven weight jumps.This episode clarifies how volume must be individualized based on athlete experience, biofeedback, readiness, and training phase, while dispelling the myth that weight must increase every week to see progress. You'll also learn how accessory work supports growth, when higher-rep volume is appropriate, and how to manage rest intervals to maximize performance and recovery.Allyson Spungin is the Director of Training, Programming, and Educational Development for Fitbody Fusion and a Master Trainer with more than a decade of hands-on experience. Based in Scottsdale, AZ and originally from Connecticut, she launched her fitness career in New York City in 2014 and has since built a reputation for science-backed coaching that elevates both general-population clients and athletes. With 12 years of experience as a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach, Allyson specializes in strength training and personalized nutrition strategies across a wide range of needs, including pre/post natal, fat and weight loss, and performance programming for endurance and weightlifting athletes. Her background includes managing gyms, leading personal training and group fitness departments, and running her own hybrid in-person and online coaching business. A national-level NPC Bikini competitor and long-time Fitbody Fusion athlete, she's preparing for another run on the national stage in 2026.

Send us a textThis episode of the FitBody Lifestyle brings together Allyson Spungin and Drew Brannon for a deep, practical conversation about movement mastery, coaching evolution, and the future of athlete development. Allyson reflects on her early certifications, foundational training principles, and the reality that while every method holds some truth, true coaching is an art built on intention and refinement. The discussion covers joint mechanics, posing, biofeedback, and the gap between how athletes think they're moving versus how they're actually moving. Jami and Greg contribute perspective on how coaching at FitBody Fusion has grown, where the team is heading, and why movement awareness is central to long-term progress. The episode also explores virtual coaching, mental exhaustion, and a standout moment where being labeled “obese” sparked a broader conversation about body image, resilience, and staying grounded in the fitness industry. Packed with education, biomechanics insight, and practical takeaways, this episode offers a clear view into what it really takes to grow as an athlete and a coach.Allyson Spungin is the Director of Training, Programming, and Educational Development for Fitbody Fusion and a Master Trainer with more than a decade of hands-on experience.

MTV er ikke bare en tv-kanal, der lukker, det er et helt billedsprog, der går på pension. I time to ser vi nærmere på, hvordan MTV formede den måde, vi ser, hører og forstår musik på. Fra ikoniske musikvideoer og vilde værter til en æstetik, der lever videre på TikTok og YouTube. Sammen med radiovært og kulturjournalist Chris Pedersen og DJ og tidligere MTV-medarbejder Camilla Jane Lea taler vi om, hvorfor musikvideoen blev så magtfuld, hvordan MTV satte dagsordenen for ungdomskultur, og hvad vi egentlig har mistet, nu hvor musikken for længst er gledet ud af kanalen.

"Chiara" di Antonella Lattanzi (Einaudi), un romanzo che ferisce, che spaventa a tratti, ma che soprattutto commuove. Un romanzo sull'amicizia che spesso è una forma di innamoramento soprattutto nasce da bambini o da adolescenti. Un romanzo che parla di mostri, di quelli che si nascondono nelle famiglie e parla anche delle conseguenze psicologiche della violenza. Le protagoniste Marianna, voce narrante, e Chiara. All'inizio del romanzo hanno fra i 9 e i 10 anni, frequentano la quinta elementare. Due bambine isolate e in parte bullizzate: Marianna è balbuziente, Chiara è soprannominata "la baffuta". Fra loro nasce un'amicizia profonda, un'alleanza fra due bambine che nelle proprie famiglie hanno a che fare con quelli che vengono definiti i mostri. Il padre di Chiara è un violento, picchia lei e la moglie. Il padre di Marianna rivolge la violenza contro sè stesso, è un autoleisionista, ma crea nella figlia enormi sensi di colpa e dunque esercita violenza psicologica. Entrambe le bambine vivono in famiglia un'atmosfera sospesa, come in apnea, sempre in attesa di un segnale, di qualcosa che indichi la crescita di quella energia pronta a esplodere in violenza.

In this episode of The Daily, we explore the rising cost of rigidity as new regulations and market shifts challenge supply chain agility. We analyze how the FRA caps non-English rail crews at 10-mile border zone to create cross-border capacity bottlenecks and discuss New legislation could upend truck broker margins by imposing steep surcharges on carriers with safety violations. Shippers face a difficult balancing act as Inventory management strategy shifts once again toward leaner models, potentially risking stockouts if demand spikes in 2026. Meanwhile, ocean carriers are adopting split strategies, with significant Ocean rates as the New Year promises a good ‘blanking' for US East Coast, driving up rates while West Coast capacity expands. In the equipment sector, REPOWR's data shows it cost more in ‘25 for a short-term dry van rental despite a weak market, driven largely by tighter network security efforts. Finally, we look at the Canada Post, mail carriers tentatively agree on labor deal, which secures weekend delivery but locks in operational rigidity by rejecting dynamic routing. We also briefly touch on the STB asks comments on ‘completeness' of rail merger application as regulators review the 7,000-page document regarding the UP-NS deal. This regulatory scrutiny adds another layer of complexity to an industry already grappling with rapid structural changes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Snak-Lytter Cem kaldte Star Maker “storslået, tidskrævende, men mindblowing”. Han havde ret på alle tre punkter. Storslået? Absolut. Syret? Uden tvivl. Men også en rigtig hård mundfuld at komme igennem. Fra lyngbakke til galaktisk bevidsthed Bogen starter forbløffende jordnært. En unavngiven englænder sidder en aften i 1937 på en bakke og betragter stjernerne, mens han tænker på sit liv og sit ægteskab. Hans kone sidder inde i det oplyste hus. Men så sker der noget radikalt: Hans bevidsthed løsriver sig fra kroppen, og pludselig kan han se gennem jorden – gennem klipperne, gennem planetens kerne – og ud i kosmos. “Looking down, I seemed to see through a transparent planet, through heather and solid rock, through the buried graveyards of vanished species, down through the molten flow of basalt, and on into the earth’s core of iron. But our home had vanished with the whole suburb, and the hills too, and the sea.” Her begynder den mest ekstreme kosmiske rejse i science fiction-historien. Først tilbringer hovedpersonen lang tid alene i det tomme rum, deprimeret og ensom. Men så opdager han The Other Earth – en planet befolket med menneskelignende væsener, der har lange ben, flade hoveder, og som lugter gennem hænderne. De har ikke meget musik, men til gengæld har de duftradio, hvor man kan opleve andres seksuelle oplevelser gennem lugten. Ja, det er præcis så syret, som det lyder. “In compensation, scent and taste developed amazingly. These beings tasted not only with their mouths, but with their moist black hands and with their feet. They were thus afforded an extraordinarily rich and intimate experience of their planet.” Hovedpersonen opdager, at han kan glide ind i de fremmedes hoveder. Han bosætter sig i kraniet på en halskør filosof ved navn Bvallthu, og gradvist smelter de sammen til en fælles personlighed. Fra denne sammensmelting vokser noget langt større. Hive minds, intelligente stjerner og kosmisk teambuilding Stapledon stopper ikke ved én planet. Nej nej. Vores hovedperson møder plantemennesker, insektlignende sværme (hvor enkeltindividet er dumt, men sværmen udgør en intelligens), symbiontiske krabber og edderkopper. Og – naturligvis – intelligente stjerner, der ikke bare kredser om den galaktiske kerne, men faktisk danser og kommunikerer med hinanden i kosmisk poesi. Hele tiden udvides den kollektive bevidsthed. Først én planet. Så flere. Så hele galakser. Stapledon bruger disse møder til at reflektere over civilisationers cykliske udviklinger. Igen og igen ser vi samfund, der når et vist niveau af udvikling, hvorefter det hele bryder sammen i konflikt og krig, og de må starte forfra. Stapledon – filosof, pacifist og ambulancefører under Første Verdenskrig – havde tydeligvis nogle meninger om 1930’ernes Europa. Duftradio-beskrivelserne lugter af propaganda-kritik. Men alle disse civilisationer, alle disse møder, peger mod ét mål. Mødet med den kolde skaber Bogens klimaks er mødet med Star Maker – universets skaber. Men det er ikke et kærligt, varmt møde med en omsorgsfuld gud. Nej, Star Maker betragter sit kosmos med den kliniske interesse, en kunstner har for sit værk. Han noterer fejlene. Føler ingen stolthed. For det her kosmos er bare ét eksperiment i en lang række. Star Maker er stadig i udvikling – fra baby-starmaker, der lavede legetøjsuniverser (ét univers bestod kun af musik uden rumlige dimensioner!), til mester-starmaker, der skaber stadigt mere komplekse kosmosser. Vores univers? Meh, et mellemstadie med “irrevocable flaws”. “For I had been confronted not by welcoming and kindly love, but by a very different spirit. It seemed to me that he gazed down on me from the height of his divinity with the aloof though passionate attention of an artist judging his finished work, calmly rejoicing in its achievement, but recognizing at last the irrevocable flaws.” En teologisk vision, både fascinerende og foruroligende. C.S. Lewis hadede den så meget, at han kaldte den “amoralsk” og skrev sin Space Trilogy som modsvar. Men Arthur C. Clarke elskede den og kaldte den den mest indflydelsesrige bog i sit liv. Efter mødet vender vores hovedperson tilbage til bakken, til lyngen, til konen i huset. Men nu med et radikalt ændret perspektiv på menneskehedens plads i kosmos. Og hans kone? Hun må have været bekymret. Han har været væk i milliarder af år – selvom der kun er gået et øjeblik. En bog der ikke er en bog Stapledon skriver selv i forordet, at bogen “by the standards of the novel, is remarkably bad. In fact, it is no novel at all.” Og han har ret. Intet plot. Ingen karakterudvikling. Ingen dialog. Bare en filosofisk meditation, en kosmisk traktat, en 300 siders stream of consciousness. Sproget er tungt – næsten 100 år gammelt og tit vanskeligt at følge. Som Anders siger: “Det føltes som en bog, der var skrevet 100 år før den faktisk blev skrevet.” Gang på gang beskriver Stapledon nye planeter, nye racer, nye samfund – som alle gennemgår de samme cyklusser. På et tidspunkt begynder man at skimme. Anders indrømmer blankt, at han “skimmede 10-20 sider ad gangen” gennem store dele af bogen. Men den er også fuld af idéer, som formede science fiction: Hive minds, galaktiske imperier, intelligente stjerner, telepatisk kommunikation, multivers-teorier. Kim Stanley Robinson sagde det bedst: “Every few pages contain all the material of an ordinary science fiction novel, condensed to something like prose poetry.” Vurderingen Jens: ⭐ (én stjerne). “Jeg havde ikke læst den færdig, hvis det ikke var for Sci-Fi Snak. Det er simpelthen killeren på en bog. Jeg kan godt se, at der ligger kvaliteter i den, men den er utrolig træls og langsomt skrevet. Jeg havde absencer, mens jeg læste.” Anders: ⭐⭐ (to stjerner – men med et spaltet sind). “De første 100 sider var smukke og poetiske. Den 17-årige hippie Anders indeni mig blev vakt til live af den kropsløse bevidsthedsrejse i kosmos. Men så blev det repetitivt. Jeg var tæt på at forsvinde helt ud af bogen.” En bog for alle? Næppe. “Hvis ikke jeg var 100% sikker på, at Henning allerede havde læst den, så ville jeg nok anbefale den til Henning,” griner Anders. Men hvis du er forfatter og leder efter idéer? Så er Star Maker en idébank uden lige. Arthur C. Clarke, Asimov, Le Guin og Kim Stanley Robinson lod sig alle inspirere. Og hvis du vil have en special science fiction-oplevelse – lidt spirituel filosofi, lidt mind-blowing kosmisk vision, lidt Iron Man læseoplevelse – så kan Star Maker være noget for dig. Jens og Anders har SCIFI SNAKKET Star Maker. Shownotes til episoden om Star Maker Siden sidst Jens Er totalt gået i Mick Herron-læsemode og læser spionthrillers Ser Pluribus på Apple TV – “Jeg er så glad for den, jeg næsten kan finde på at stå lidt tidligere op fredag morgen for at se et afsnit” Anders Har læst Dream Hotel af Laila Lalami – en bog om predictive policing og AI-drevne drømmeanalyser Hovedpersonen bliver tilbageholdt på et “opbevaringshotel” for folk, der måske vil begå forbrydelser i fremtiden (kafkask, men underholdende) Har læst Quantum of Menace af Vaseem Khan – en thriller om Q fra James Bond-universet Ser også Pluribus – “Den er crazy god” Lytternes input Fra Goodreads: Steen spørger om lydbogstjenester til bilkørsel. E-reolen og Libby har gratis biblioteksmaterialer (danske og engelske). Mofibo har et stort sci-fi-katalog. Og så er der selvfølgelig Audible. Julerabat fra Science Fiction Cirklen: Lise tilbyder en decemberrabat på den danske udgave af Stjernemageren – 200 kr. i stedet for 298 kr. Det er faktisk ret fedt, at den findes på dansk! (sciencefiction.dk) Rettelse: David Mondrup, som anbefalede Zoi, er ikke Jane Mondrups mand – de er fætter og kusine. Undskyld, David! (Episode 99 af LæsDen! handler i øvrigt om Zoi) Mail fra Søren Bjørn-Hansen: Søren skrev fra sit sygeleje, hvor Sci-Fi Snak var “en tryg favn når febervildelserne raser”. Han gav input om Arthur C. Clarke og geostationære satellitter – Clarke skrev om kommunikationssatellitter i Wireless World i 1945 og forudså atomdrevne raketter inden for 20 år. Sådan gik det ikke helt. Søren foreslog også, at vi læser James Coreys The Mercy of Gods (den nye bog fra teamet bag Expanse-serien). Næste gang Anders vælger: Naomi Aldermans The Future (2023) – en nærfremtids-thriller om tech-milliardærer, der får en advarsel fra deres predictive software: apokalypsen er på vej, og de skal ned i deres hemmelige bunkere. Samtidig følger vi Lai Zhen, der pludselig bliver jagtet af en lejemorder og kun overlever takket være mystisk software på hendes telefon. Margaret Atwood kalder den “gripping”. Lauren Beukes: “A little Atwood, a little Gibson, all Alderman, it’s brilliant.” Alistair Reynolds: “A rollicking, fun-packed thriller.” Vi håber på en page-turner efter Stapledons filosofiske sejtrækker. Bonus-anbefaling: Se Guillermo del Toros nye filmatisering af Frankenstein på Netflix – der skulle være ret bognær. Måske vender vi tilbage til det senere.

Turning 62 might not feel like a milestone birthday… until you realize the Social Security clock just started ticking. Filing now could put money in your pocket sooner or cost you tens of thousands over a lifetime. How do you pick the right strategy? Let's break down how to think through one of the biggest retirement decisions you'll ever make.   Important Links: Website: http://www.yourplanningpros.com Call: 844-707-7381   ----more---- Transcript:  Speaker 1: Turning 62 might not feel like a milestone birthday until you realize the social security clock just started ticking. Filing now could put money in your pocket sooner or cost you tens of thousands over your lifetime. So which is the right strategy? Let's break it down.   Hey everybody, welcome to the podcast. This is Plan with the Tax Man, with Tony Mauro and myself to talk, "Hey, I'm 62. Should I file or wait?" That's the big conversation, Tony, that happens all the time. I imagine you probably have this chat with new prospects virtually every single time you meet with somebody.   Speaker 2: Every time. Yes. And I picked this topic this week because I've been getting a lot of questions on it. There's been a lot of chatter on social media about it. So I wanted to address it again because it is important.   Speaker 1: And it's complicated for people, but you could talk big money here. So I mean, why do it? Why file at 62? There's a plethora of reasons. If you take out the just actual need it, okay, it's like I ran the numbers and we actually do need to turn it on. Oftentimes it's things like, "Well, it's mine. I want it back." Or whatever. Understandable, but what's some other things you've heard?   Speaker 2: Well, I hear things such as, "My parents didn't live very long, so therefore I want to collect it while I still got some time." Okay. And by the way, as we talk about this, we could sit, if I had 10 listeners on the podcast as a call in, we would all have different opinions. And you could get into some serious arguments about this. So a lot of this depends upon each individual situation, like most things financial planning do. But that being said, besides worried about longevity, they want to basically take the money and invest it in themselves. Some want to give it to their heirs a little earlier.   Some are, of course, like you said, they're just ready to get out. They've worked for somebody else forever. They want to retire now and they need the income now is always the biggest one, but there are some drawbacks to that, which we'll get to. But those are the things I find most people want to take it early. And most people, when they want to take it early, they've given it no though other than those things. They haven't run any projections. They haven't done any type of planning for this, which we'll talk about here in a second.   Speaker 1: Okay. Well, why wait until FRA, full retirement age? So there's some compelling reasons to do so. First, it's what, about 6% annually. If you were to do the numbers from 62 every year you're waiting, it's about 6% up to full retirement age. Yeah?   Speaker 2: It is. So when you take it early, of course, you have to take a reduction in benefits.   Speaker 1: Yeah, like 30%.   Speaker 2: Yeah. And there's a cap on how much you can earn if you're still wanting to go out and do some work. Now, if you wait till full retirement age, not only is your benefit higher, but you can go out and earn as much as you want and they won't reduce your social security benefit. Yeah, you're still taxed on it and all of that. But that's one of the reasons why people might want to wait. They want the higher benefit. They might want to use some sophisticated planning and coordinate with spouse benefits and maybe have the lower amount or the lower earning person take theirs earlier and the higher earning take theirs later. And then of course, like I said, maybe-   Speaker 1: You should definitely think about doing that, right?   Speaker 2: Absolutely.   Speaker 1: Yeah.   Speaker 2: I mean, that's one of the biggest ones. And a lot of times you get this full retirement age statistically showing both men and women, if your health is fairly decent, you plan on living quite a bit longer up to at least the averages. At least that's, again, that's an assumption. But those are some reasons why. And if you start running some numbers and you take a look at, I ran my own before we got on the podcast. And if I took mine at 62 versus 67 is my full retirement age, by the time that I, if I lived, I used both scenarios. This is just for example, and this is what the planning software can do for you. If I lived until 83, if I waited until 67 versus 62, I would've collected $72,700 more if I waited. And so you have to decide and you should run some of these numbers.   And I also would say to all the listeners, you at very least should be out and have yourself a login and username to the social security website so you can see your reports and look at some of this stuff. It's free. They've actually done a nice job with it. So the question becomes like, in my case, is it important enough for me to delay? Because I could die between 62 and 67. Who knows?   Speaker 1: Sure, yeah.   Speaker 2: But do I want to take that chance and maybe get 72, $73,000 more I live in the same amount of time? And I think that is what the real planning stage is. And there's really no right or wrong answer because for some people, yes, maybe they do need it at 62, but for a lot of us, if you don't need the income, it generally is better to wait.   Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, think about it. 6% from 62 to 67 is... And it's a safer investment because somebody would say, to one of the arguments, "Well, I want to just take it now and I'll reinvest that money." Especially if the argument is that, "I'm doing it, I'm turning it on, but I don't actually need the income." So let's just take, I need the income off the table because if you need it, you need it. But if you're turning it on because you just want to turn it on for whatever other reason, and you're saying, "Well, I can invest in myself." Okay, maybe you're going to get a guaranteed 6% year over year with very little risk. That's one piece. Now you might look at the market right now year to date, the S&P, Tony, while we're talking is like up 16%. Somebody said, "Well, yeah, I could get 16%." Well, fine, but that's 100% at risk.   Speaker 2: That's 100% at risk. I just saw not too long ago, which led me to even pick this topic this week is somebody on Facebook sent me a clip of what appeared to be a financial advisor or some annuity person talking about it's never better to wait. Always take it at 62. And I listened to it and I would love to debate that with a gentleman, at least for every case. I mean, he does make some compelling arguments as to why some people should take it at 62, but most of what he was talking about was, "Well, they need the income now and they can reinvest it." Well, okay, yes, that is right, but you can't just sit there and tell everybody never to wait because there are some compelling arguments in some cases to wait.   Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. And to your point. So you ran those numbers at $70,000 or whatever. Did you think about the spousal piece? Sometimes people, they don't necessarily do that. It's like, okay, don't forget, the higher of the two is what the person that's left behind is going to get. So you mentioned earlier doing that option. So if you're in a situation where one member of the family, one of the couple there is making more and you want to turn the lower one on at 62, that's a fine strategy for many people still run the numbers first to see. But again, you got to kind of factor all that stuff in there. You can't just claim it without some intentionality in there.   Speaker 2: No, you do need to be intentional with it. You do need to talk to your advisor about it because that's one thing that we use a lot is we have the lower earning spouse, if they do want some money now, okay, let's claim that now, but let's let the higher earning spouses ride a little bit and then that way you've got kind of a little bit of best of both worlds. You're getting some money now because that's what you said you wanted, but you want to get some higher benefits and generally the women live longer and if the man dies, then she can reclaim and get his higher benefit, which will benefit her later by him waiting. And so I think that's one thing that we generally try to do as far as that goes. But we use some good software just like most advisors have to be able to at least show people and run a lot of different scenarios very quickly so they can at least have all of the facts to make the best decision for them.   Speaker 1: And you know, Tony, it can go the other way too. I was just talking with another advisor earlier and he was sharing an interesting story that he had some new clients that were in prior, right before Thanksgiving, saying that they were in, they were starting to do the preliminaries and everything and they were like, "No, no, we've already identified a lot of stuff and we're going to both wait until we're 70." They wanted to do the total maximization. And he said, "Cool, but let's go through the exercise of running stuff and just see what those," Like you kind of did, "What some of those projections lay out." And he was able to show them for a myriad of reasons why, and again, he's like, "It's not my job. If you want to go 70, we'll go 70. But if we turn it on, in your case, specifically both of you at 67, you're actually going to fare better." So there is times when it can go one way or the other, but you don't know that until you get into the math of it.   Speaker 2: You don't. And that advisor probably showed them something they probably never had dreamed of and probably going to-   Speaker 1: They were shocked, yeah.   Speaker 2: Get more money over their lifetimes.   Speaker 1: They were, actually. And then you started thinking about IRMAA and you start thinking about the taxational. That's the other piece, how much of your social security is going to get taxed? In this situation where we were talking about today or our topic point, if you're turning it on at 62, but you don't need the income, you are probably going to wind up paying the max tax on this too. So not only are you taking a 30% haircut, but you're probably paying up to the 85% as taxable.   Speaker 2: It's going to be taxable. And depending on your tax bracket, it could increase that haircut by quite a bit, which is why you need to think about some of this stuff before you do it.   Speaker 1: Now you got a buzz cut.   Speaker 2: Yeah. The other thing too is I always ask people, well, if you take it 62, especially the single people, what are you going to do for health insurance until you're 65? Because Medicare doesn't kick in. And so there's some things to think about there. And if you just blindly go into this and quit your job or whatever, you probably aren't going to be able to go back and now you could be stuck with some real unfavorable circumstances.   Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. We all know that age discrimination is not supposed to be a thing, but we also know it's a thing. So it's like trying to be 70 and find a job or the job you had before, the odds aren't great.   Speaker 2: Not great.   Speaker 1: No. So at the end of the day, look, it's a huge, huge decision, Tony. I mean, you can truly be talking tens of thousands of bucks here.   Speaker 2: You can. I mean, at the end of the day, as I say, and on most of them, and of course, we're tooting our own horn here with, you need your advisors and help to make sure that your decisions work with your plan, your health, your long-term goals. And once you do that, then at least you could feel good about what you chose. But like I say, I would caution you to just blindly do it without running the numbers because they are big. And in fact, back to my case as we close is, my plan personally is we're probably going to wait at least until we are full retirement age, if not 70, because I'm going to want that extra 70,000. I mean, that's just my psyche. But I have run the numbers and we might do a spouse claiming early, but it probably won't be 62. It might be 64 or 65.   Speaker 1: And that's true. That's true. The reason we hear things like, "Oh, there's 6,000 claiming options." Or whatever they claim there is that's because every day after 62 that you delay and turn it on, could change something, whether it's 63-   Speaker 2: Two pennies.   Speaker 1: Yeah. 63 in two weeks or 64 in three months or whatever it might be. So it all changes that number a little bit. Again, about 6% roughly from 62 to 67 is the growth. And then from 67 to 70, it's what about 8%.   Speaker 2: It's about 8%, yeah. It really goes up during those last couple, two or three years.   Speaker 1: So something to think about. So the right social security decision depends on your income needs, work plans, health and long-term goals, but before you file, make sure you're choosing that path that supports your retirement, not necessarily just some other reason that you've got in your head. And if you need some help with that, to Tony's point, tooting the own horn, yes, but the social security office folks, they do a fine job, but they're not allowed to help you go through the... They're going to tell you your options and then you pick. They're not going to ask you about your tax implifications. They're not going to ask you about your IRAs and how much you have in your income so that you're making the right decision based on all that.   So get with a financial professional before you take this action and have those chats.

Gino Marielli"Tazenda. S'istoria infinida"Felice LiperiIl Castello Editorewww.ilcastelloeditore.it Tazenda. S'Istoria Infinida è la biografia a firma Felice Liperi dei mitici Tazendain uscita a novembre per Il Castello (Collana Chinaski): un libro che, a quasi quarant'anni di storia dei Tazenda e a vent'anni dalla prematura  scomparsa  diAndrea Parodi, racconta tra radici, trasformazioni e visioni artistiche, l'abbondante mezzo secolo di storia musicale dei suoi componenti. Una storia che ha lasciato un solco profondo nella scena musicale sarda e nazionale. Fra ricordi, un racconto delle tappe della storia della band e i versi delle canzoni, si affacciano le testimonianze di tutti coloro che hanno partecipato a questa avventura.A cominciare dai molti musicisti. Oltre i fondatori Gigi Camedda e Gino Marielli, che hanno guidato la crescita artistica dei Tazenda, ai cantautori e musicisti che hanno collaborato con loro come Andrea Poddighe, Claudia Crabuzza, Piero Marras e Paolo Fresu, fino alle voci a cui è stato affidato il ruolo che fu di Parodi, dalle più recenti come Nicola Nite e l'attuale voce di Serena Carta Mantilla; o a quelle più lontane come Beppe Dettori: ciascuno a raccontarci il proprio contributo alla creazione e all'evoluzione del suono unico della band. Ugualmente centrali le testimonianze di altri personaggi del mondo dello spettacolo, dalla musica alla tv, come Gianni Morandi che nel volume racconta impressioni personali e aneddoti sulla collaborazione con i Tazenda. Poi ci sono i produttori come Giovanni Leonardi, Franco De Lucia e Mauro Cauchi. Ma anche i collaboratori storici, come Massimo Cossu eLuca Parodi, che svelano il dietro le quinte della carriera dei Tazenda: dai primi passi fino al successo nazionale e internazionale, ripercorrendo le scelte strategiche e creative che hanno plasmato la loro identità musicale. Infine le figure più tecniche: professionisti come Alberto Erre e Antonio Ferraro che riportano le sfide e le esperienze in studio, quei momenti che hanno costruito il suono distintivo della band, o lo storico road manager Sandro Frascogna al quale è affidato il racconto dell'organizzazione dei tour e del lavoro sul palco. Senza dimenticare i giornalisti: personaggi come Carlo Eletti o Pasquale Porcu che hanno disegnato la loro storia fin dai suoi esordi.Non meno importanti le testimonianze indirette che Felice Liperi, assieme a Gigi Camedda e Gino Marielli che con lui hanno ripercorso questo viaggio, sono andati a rispolverare: come i racconti di personaggi come Renato Zero e Pippo Baudo, Mogol, Marti Jane Robertson, Mara Maionchi o Red Ronnie che ci riportano l'impatto della band nel panorama musicale italiano. Nel raccontare i Tazenda è difficile non usare parole che evocano l'epica. Perché la loro storia attraversa la memoria di un popolo, la forza della natura e la poesia della lingua sarda, unita all'energia universale del rock. Dal 1987 a oggi, il trio simbolo dell'isola ha saputo fondere identità, spiritualità e modernità, portando la Sardegna sulle scene nazionali e internazionali con una voce inconfondibile.Epica, mito e fantascienza: tutti elementi che ritroviamo già nel nome dei Tazenda: una reinterpretazione di Star's End, pianeta immaginario della trilogia della Fondazione di Isaac Asimov. Un riferimento che suona come un passaggio naturale per i musicisti sardi, che prima di approdare a questa nuova identità avevano militato in gruppi dai nomi altrettanto simbolici: prima il Sole Nero, evocazione di un'epica anche qui dal sapore fantascientifico, poi il Coro degli Angeli, un nome che venne coniato da Mogol ispirato dalle sonorità celesti delle loro voci.Liperi, uno dei più autorevoli critici musicali italiani, costruisce un racconto che è insieme storico e sentimentale, ricco di riferimenti musicali e culturali. Il volume ripercorre l'avventura cominciata da Andrea Parodi, Gino Marielli e Gigi Camedda – e poi proseguita con nuovi compagni di viaggio – svelando come nei Tazenda la ricerca musicale si intrecci da sempre alla ricerca di senso: un continuo dialogo tra radici e futuro, tra poesia e ritmo, tra appartenenza e apertura.Fin dagli esordi, con Sos ojos de sa jana, emergono i temi fondanti del gruppo: il mare come orizzonte di libertà, la natura come sacralità quotidiana, la memoria come canto. Nei brani A Deus piachende e Scaldaci sole la spiritualità diventa invocazione, mentre in Mamoiada la tradizione si fa racconto corale di popolo e identità senza evitare di toccare temi sociali legati alle faide interne della Sardegna. È una lingua viva, la “limba”, quella scelta dai Tazenda: non solo strumento espressivo ma gesto culturale e politico, capace di dare forza e riconoscibilità alla loro musica.Felice Liperi mette in luce anche la dimensione musicale del trio, profondamente segnata dal rock – dagli U2 ai Beatles – e dalla capacità di dialogare con artisti come Fabrizio De André, Eros Ramazzotti o i Simple Minds. Nelle loro canzoni, canti a tenore, launeddas e arpeggi elettrici convivono in un magico equilibrio creando un suono che ha saputo raccontare la Sardegna  con un linguaggio musicale universaleCon questa biografia, i Tazenda ritrovano la propria “Istoria” raccontata attraverso la sensibilità di un autore che ne coglie la profondità poetica e musicale. Un viaggio che non celebra soltanto una band, ma l'anima di un'isola che continua a cantare se stessa, parlando – ancora una volta – la lingua del mondo.Felice Liperi, critico musicale, per molti anni conduttore e curatore di programmi per Radio Rai (Fahrenheit, Stereonotte, Sei gradi).

Marta ParaventiAssessora alla Cultura di AnconaAncona. Questo Adesso.Candidata a Capitale della Cultura 2028“Ancona. Questo Adesso” è il titolo del ricco dossier inviato al Ministero della Cultura per la candidatura di Ancona Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2028.  Un titolo ispirato dalle parole del poeta anconetano Francesco Scarabicchi  tratte dal libro   “Una città di scoglio. Breve viaggio ad Ancona” che invita ad un compito civile e poetico:   “Si conferma così la necessaria tensione a coniugare al presente tutto il passato del tempo di Ancona per proseguirne la vita e il senso, per avvicinare al nostro respiro ciò  che resta di un antico di pietre, vie, monumenti, patrimoni. Fra le “promesse” e gli “auspici”.  Il compito è quello di cogliere di ogni remoto la vicinanza,  la prossimità a questo “adesso” della storia individuale e collettiva, farne un sentimento comune e una comune idea di ricchezza reperta e giacimento che i secoli hanno lasciato alla nostra consapevole custodia e meraviglia…” “È questa tensione, fra il remoto e il presente, fra custodia e meraviglia, che Ancona accoglie come principio ispiratore di una candidatura che guarda al futuro.     È il tempo necessario di scegliere, di abitare, di coniugare   passato, presente e futuroQuesto Adesso, è un tempo che chiede di essere vissuto, abitato, condiviso. Questo è il principio di Ancona Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2028, un sentiero da percorrere, una sfida da vincere. Adesso Ancona è pronta.Il dossier mira a ricostruire un patto simbolico e culturale tra Ancona, il suo mare e i suoi cittadini, restituendo alla comunità e al Paese il senso profondo di una città che non racconta solo ciò che è stata, ma ciò che vuole diventare, un luogo che si accende, che si rigenera, che sperimenta una nuova concezione di patrimonio culturale, in un presente che diventa slancio, trasformazione, orizzonte condiviso che costruisce il futuro.Una città collocata al centro delle rotte internazionali, che trova nella cultura il cuore di un programma sostenibile ed innovativo di rigenerazione urbana, sociale ed economica, per fronteggiare sfide future e cogliere nuove opportunità.Una gara alla quale Ancona partecipa forte del ruolo che ha saputo costruire affermandosi come capitale istituzionale e simbolica dell'Adriatico, con la Dichiarazione di Ancona del 2000 e con l'approvazione della Strategia EUSAIR (Strategia dell'Unione europea per la Regione adriatica e ionica) e sede delle principali istituzioni che hanno dato vita ad EUSAIR stessa: l'Iniziativa Adriatico-Ionica, il Forum delle Camere di Commercio, il Forum delle Città ed il Forum delle Università per l'Adriatico Ionico.      Spiccano a questo proposito le adesioni al dossier di candidatura delle città di Spalato, Dubrovnik, Zara a cui si è aggiunta Venezia.Il dossier composto da sessanta pagine propone un progetto strategico condiviso da istituzioni, imprese, cittadini, che presenta oltre ottanta opere originali e site-specific    ponendo la Cultura come leva di sviluppo, sostenibilità e cooperazione euro-mediterranea, con l'obiettivo di lasciare un'eredità duratura per le future generazioni.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Fra 1938 og frem meldte omkring 6000 danskere sig frivilligt til Waffen-SS, hvoraf en tredjedel omkom. De fleste af disse kom til at gøre tjeneste i Frikorps Danmark, der blev oprettet i 1942. De danske frivillige kom både før, men også siden til SS-enhederne division Nordland, Totenkopf og Wiking, der blev indsat på Østfronten, hvor de blev involveret i en hidtil uset brutal udryddelseskrig. Tjenesten i SS indebar også, at de frivillige stod til rådighed for medvirken til partisanbekæmpelse på Balkan, nazistiske drabskommandoer og vagttjeneste i koncentrationslejre. Flertallet af de frivillige havde baggrund i det danske nazistiske parti, DNSAP, som aktivt støttede de danske soldater på østfronten. 1500 tysksindede danskere i Sønderjylland meldte sig også frivilligt til krigstjeneste, men de kom hovedsageligt til at gøre tjeneste i den tyske værnemagts enheder. I en ny bog ”Nazismens Danske Soldater” fortæller de tre historikere Claus Bundgaard Christensen, Niels Bo Poulsen og Peter Scharff Smidth med nye kilder og ny igen forskning igen historien om de danske SS-frivillige. En bog, der bygger på deres tidligere roste værk ”Under Hagekors og Dannebrog” fra 1998. I udsendelsen medvirker Niels Bo Poulsen og Peter Scharff Smidth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Week on Transit UnpluggedPaul Comfort sits down with Martin Ritter, CEO of Stadler U.S., one of the most innovative and fastest-growing train manufacturers in North America. From a modest foothold in the early 2000s to a nearly 600,000 sq. ft. factory in Utah, Stadler is reshaping how America thinks about rolling stock — and redefining what's possible in U.S.-based manufacturing.In this conversation, Martin pulls back the curtain on:How Stadler grew from an 18-person Swiss workshop to a 17,500-person global rail powerhouse Why agencies love their FLIRT multiple-unit trains — and how distributed propulsion changes the game Hydrogen, battery-electric, and ultra-efficient diesel-electric: the real story behind next-gen rail propulsion How Stadler achieved FRA compliance while keeping trains lighter, quieter, and more efficient The company's youth apprenticeship program, modeled after Switzerland's world-renowned system What it means for Stadler U.S. to become a standalone division The milestone ahead: delivering trains for the 2034 Salt Lake Olympic Games This episode is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at one of the most talked-about rail manufacturers in the United States — and a preview of what Paul and the crew will capture during our upcoming visit to the Utah factory for Transit Unplugged TV.Episode CreditsHost & Producer: Paul ComfortExecutive Producer: Julie GatesProducer: Chris O'KeeffeEditor: Patrick EmileAssociate Producer: Cyndi RaskinConsultants: Dan Meisner & Jonas Woost, BumperBrand design: Tina OlagundoyeSocial Media: Tatyana MechkarovaTransit Unplugged is brought to you by Modaxo — passionate about moving the world's people.Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Modaxo Inc., its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any entities they represent (“Modaxo”).

“We love because He first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19Those six simple words form the foundation of all Christian generosity. Every act of love, every gift we offer, every step of obedience begins with what God has already given to us. We don't start by giving—we start by receiving.In this spirit, Sharon Epps, President of Kingdom Advisors, joined us for a meaningful conversation on the often-overlooked generosity of the women who financially supported Jesus. Their story, found in Luke 8, gives us a powerful picture of what grateful, gospel-shaped giving looks like.Women Who Supported JesusLuke 8 opens with a glimpse into Jesus' ministry on the move:“Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the Good News of the Kingdom of God… and also some women… Mary called Magdalene… Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.”  — Luke 8:1–3These women formed part of Jesus' traveling ministry team, and Scripture highlights an astonishing truth: they provided for Jesus and His disciples out of their own resources.Among them was Joanna, a woman of high social standing and significant wealth. As the wife of King Herod's household manager, she lived with privilege—but Scripture also tells us she was once spiritually and physically broken. Jesus healed her, and her generosity flowed from that transformation.Receiving Always Comes Before GivingBefore Joanna gave to Jesus, she received from Jesus.Sharon points out that Luke intentionally includes this detail: these women had been healed—spiritually, emotionally, or physically—before they supported Jesus' ministry. It reminds us that money alone can't solve the deepest problems of the heart. We all begin our stewardship journey by receiving.At the most basic level, every good thing in our lives is a gift from God:The breath in our lungsThe abilities we developThe resources we holdThe love we experienceAs Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 4:7, “What do you have that you did not receive?” The answer is nothing.Giving, then, is designed to be a response—a natural overflow of gratitude.Joanna's Love for JesusJoanna's story doesn't end in Luke 8. We meet her again in Luke 24 at the empty tomb, heartbroken and confused, until the angels remind her of Jesus' words. Joanna becomes one of the first witnesses of the resurrection, running with Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, to tell the apostles.Her pattern is clear: She received from Jesus. She loved Jesus. And she gave to honor Jesus. Her generosity was not transactional—it was relational. It was the fruit of a transformed life.Generosity as a JourneySharon suggests that generosity is never a one-time event—it's a journey. As our relationship with Christ deepens, our giving naturally grows. Joanna shows us what sacrificial generosity looks like when it springs from grateful love.To make this practical, Sharon shared three questions she's been asking herself—questions all of us can ask:1. What do I need to recognize as a gift from Christ before I can give generously?Do I see what's in my hands as mine—or as His?2. Is my giving safe or sacrificial?Does my generosity reflect comfort… or love?3. What does my current giving say about how well I've received?Giving reveals the condition of the heart.These questions invite us into deeper intimacy with Jesus, because generous living always begins with grateful receiving.Becoming Conduits of Christ's LoveJoanna's life encourages us to see generosity not as a duty but as a joyful response to God's grace. As Sharon put it, her prayer—and ours—is to “receive so well that we become conduits of Christ's love through generosity.”May we, like these remarkable women, offer our resources, time, and lives with open hands—recognizing that every gift we give begins with the gift we've already received in Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm considering taking 72(t) withdrawals from my 401(k) in a couple of years as I retire and begin consulting. Should I plan on withdrawing around 5% annually, and if so, should I keep the money invested in stocks to aim for the usual 9–11% returns?My husband and I need about $8,000 and are debating whether to pull it from my 403(b), use benefits from his part-time retirement job, or tap a small annuity worth $3,000–$4,000. We want to pay off some credit cards and finish a car loan with three months left. What's the best source to use?We inherited enough money to either pay off our mortgage or cover about three-quarters of our daughter's student loan. The amounts are similar, and our mortgage is mostly principal now. I'm 61. Which payoff makes the most sense?I started my Social Security retirement benefits at age 70 this June. My younger husband reaches full retirement age next July. Can he take a spousal benefit equal to half of mine until he reaches FRA and then switch to his own higher benefit?I'm getting remarried, but my fiancée would lose nearly $1,500 in Social Security benefits she currently receives. Is there any way to avoid losing that benefit once we marry?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.
