Season Two of On the Media's Peabody-winning series The Divided Dial is the untold story of shortwave radio: the way-less-listened to but way-farther-reaching cousin of AM and FM radio. The medium was once heralded as a utopian, international, and instantaneous mass communication tool — a sort of internet-before-the-internet. But like the internet, it also took a turn for the chaotic. And like AM and FM talk radio, it also went hard to the right, with extremists and cults still finding a home on the shortwaves.EPISODE 3Today, in the internet era, much of the shortwaves have been left to the most extreme voices — including a conspiratorial flat earth ministry, and an ultra-conservative cult complete with everything from sexual abuse to dead infants and illegal burials. In the 737-person northern Maine town of Monticello, one of the world's farthest-reaching radio stations has given them a home, pumping out extremism and conspiracy theories to the world as the voice of American broadcasting.The Divided Dial was supported in part by a grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

"Success attracts donors and grantors, and just provides that foundation for expanding into the wider community." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund. In Part 1 of this recorded webinar, "From the Backyard to the Front Page: Building a TNR Movement," Bryan Kortis, National Programs Director for Neighborhood Cats, presents a compelling behind-the-scenes look at how one of the nation's most impactful TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts got started. Originally presented live, this session offers listeners a chance to hear how a single encounter with kittens in a Manhattan lot sparked a grassroots movement that helped reshape New York City's approach to community cats. Bryan walks viewers through the early years of Neighborhood Cats—what worked, what didn't, and how starting small with a focused colony led to scalable, measurable success. He emphasizes the strategic principles that shaped the organization's growth, including the power of targeting, the role of data, and the importance of community involvement. Press Play Now For: The story that sparked a citywide TNR movement What makes a “model colony” and why that matters How to work smart with limited surgeries and resources The power of strategic targeting vs. “first come, first served” Building support through community participation Real-world impact: dramatic reductions in NYC euthanasia rates Why tracking and storytelling are essential for growth Resources & Links: Neighborhood Cats Handbook (https://www.neighborhoodcats.org/learn-more/books-guides) TNR Certification Workshops (https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/community-cat-care-training-education/) Cat Stats: Colony Tracking Tool (https://www.catstats.org/) Sponsor Links: Maddie's Fund (https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/maddies613) Follow & Review We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Brokerage services for US-listed, registered securities, options and bonds in a self-directed account are offered by Public Investing, Inc., member FINRA & SIPC. Public Investing offers a High-Yield Cash Account where funds from this account are automatically deposited into partner banks where they earn interest and are eligible for FDIC insurance; Public Investing is not a bank. Cryptocurrency trading services are offered by Bakkt Crypto Solutions, LLC (NMLS ID 1890144), which is licensed to engage in virtual currency business activity by the NYSDFS.

Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The 7%+ yield is the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees, as of 5/15/2025. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond's YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond.

A packed episode this week includes our interviews with TUFF Fund Executive Director Andy Carl, new Temple basketball recruit Derrian Ford, and Grace Crosby, the coxswain who led the Temple men's crew varsity eight to a gold medal at last Saturday's Dad Vail Regatta. Carl shared some insightful stories about his time leading an NIL collective that helped raise more than $1 million for Temple athletics while Ford, a former 4-star and top-100 recruit, explained why he committed to Adam Fisher and his staff without an official visit. And Crosby, who steered the gold-medal varsity eight boat at the Dad Vail less than 48 hours after graduating from Temple's Klein College of Media and Communication, took listeners into the demands of being a coxswain on one of the nation's top crew teams.

“The earlier you involve finance in the sales process, the more successful you're going to be.” — Aaron Case, Travelers Financial Solutions In an age where AI infrastructure and high-performance computing are reshaping industries, financing has become more than just a back-office consideration—it's a frontline sales tool. In this insightful Technology Reseller News podcast, Doug Green speaks with Aaron Case of Travelers Financial Solutions (TFS) about how credit, lending, and financing are enabling technology resellers and MSPs to close bigger deals, faster—and more often. TFS, part of the Travelers Group with over 40 years of cross-border financial experience, specializes in white-label captive finance programs for OEMs, resellers, and dealers across verticals like transportation, heavy equipment, technology, and medical. As Case explains, these tailored programs let resellers act as their own finance companies, maintaining brand control while TFS manages everything behind the scenes. Unlike banks, which often lack domain knowledge in AI or cloud infrastructure, TFS offers asset-agnostic financing—covering everything from NVIDIA chips to server racks and cooling systems. Just as crucially, TFS uses data-driven processes and a full-service call center to stay connected with customers post-sale, surfacing new sales opportunities and even alerting resellers to potential problems before they escalate. Case emphasized that by integrating financing at the start of the sales cycle—similar to how car dealerships operate—resellers can not only expand deal size but also enhance the customer experience. Whether it's joint ventures, rev share models, or small-dealer servicing, TFS adapts to each partner's go-to-market strategy. In the era of AI and big-ticket hardware purchases, Case argues, relying on conventional financing paths can lead to mismatches between the risk and the reality. “You're putting your livelihood at risk,” he warns, when customers tie loans to personal assets for business technology purchases. TFS aims to structure smarter deals that align value, risk, and opportunity.

Deep beneath the frigid Arctic landscape, humanity's digital legacy sleeps in a vault carved into frozen rock. The Arctic World Archive, nestled in a decommissioned coal mine near the North Pole, represents our most ambitious attempt to preserve crucial data against time itself. With deposits from over 30 countries—including Vatican manuscripts and 3D scans of the Taj Mahal—this modern-day Library of Alexandria raises profound questions about what we choose to save for future generations.Meanwhile, the boundaries between ancient biology and modern commerce blur as scientists develop luxury leather goods from reconstructed T-Rex DNA. By extracting collagen preserved for 80 million years and engineering it in laboratory conditions, researchers have created what might become the most exclusive fashion material ever conceived.

Priced at just $199, this powerful gadget demonstrates how cybersecurity tools have become dramatically more accessible, democratizing techniques once restricted to specialists. While marketed for ethical testing, its potential for misuse highlights our ongoing struggle to balance technological advancement with responsible usage.From a Catholic priest who embezzled $40,000 for mobile gaming addictions to Newark Airport's frighteningly outdated air traffic control systems still running on floppy disks, we examine how technology shapes our vulnerabilities as much as our strengths. Whether preserving our past in frozen vaults or struggling with the consequences of our digital lives, one thing becomes clear: the choices we make today about technology will echo long into humanity's future.Subscribe to Tech Time Radio for weekly insights that put you weeks ahead of mainstream technology coverage, and visit patreon.com/techtimeradio to support our mission of bringing critical tech understanding to everyday listeners.Support the show

“Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds, for riches do not last forever…” - Proverbs 27:23-24These days, our “flocks and herds” often look like stocks and mutual funds, not sheep and cattle. But the call to wise stewardship remains. One way we do that is through proxy voting. Jerry Bowyer joins us to explain how and why it matters.  Jerry Bowyer is the President of Bowyer Research and our Resident Economist here at Faith & Finance. He is the author of The Maker Versus the Takers: What Jesus Really Said About Social Justice and Economics.What Is Proxy Voting?Proxy voting is similar to civic voting. As a citizen, you vote in elections, attend town halls, and even influence legislation. As a shareholder in a company, if you own the stock directly, you have similar rights: to vote on proposals, ask questions, and even submit resolutions.But if you're invested through mutual funds or ETFs, you hand that vote over to someone else—often a fund manager or institution. And unless you know how they're voting, your values may not be represented at all.Many Christian ministries, nonprofits, and even pro-life organizations are unknowingly voting against their own missions. Why? Because they either don't engage in proxy voting or delegate it without vetting the recipient's values.How Can Investors Reclaim Their Voice?Proxy statements are often long, complex, and written in confusing legal language. For that reason, many advisors default to saying, “Just let the client decide,” rather than helping them engage meaningfully.Of course, that's not a good sign because if it's too complex for the advisor, it's definitely too complex for the client. Instead, we encourage advisors and Christian investors to partner with specialists, like Bowyer Research, who can help decode the process and ensure votes reflect biblical values.They offer audits to show investors how they've been voting—often to their shock. They've never done one where people weren't stunned by what they saw.Mutual Funds, ETFs, and the Challenge of Indirect OwnershipIf you're invested through mutual funds or ETFs, you're likely not voting directly.

"Stop treating cats like dogs—when we see them for who they really are, the right solutions start to emerge." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund. In this dynamic episode of the Community Cats Podcast, host Stacy LeBaron is joined by two passionate advocates making waves in Miami's cat welfare scene: Tia Williams, Director of Cat Solutions 305, and Dr. Matt Tano, Executive Director and Chief of Surgery at Street Cat Clinic. Together, they're addressing South Florida's year-round kitten crisis and pushing the boundaries of collaboration in feline-focused care. Miami-Dade County faces a unique set of challenges when it comes to its large urban population of free-roaming cats. Tia and Dr. Tano offer an inspiring blueprint for what's possible when dedicated individuals and municipal support align. With a shared mission to change the narrative for community cats, their approach goes beyond simple trap-neuter-return (TNR). They're building systems, fostering partnerships, and creating a community-driven model focused on long-term impact. You'll hear how Street Cat Clinic is designed with trapper convenience in mind—from 24/7 drop-off access to hurricane-proof infrastructure—and how Cat Solutions 305 bridges the gap between feeders, trappers, and fosters. The conversation dives into the real-life logistics of operating a high-volume clinic and the vital role of empathy, flexibility, and data-driven strategies. Press Play Now For: Why Miami's climate makes cat overpopulation especially challenging The importance of treating cats as a unique species, not like small dogs How community collaboration fuels success in TNR efforts What it takes to run a high-volume, trapper-friendly spay/neuter clinic Creative problem-solving in veterinary deserts A sneak peek at what it means to build a "super clinic” Resources & Links: Street Cat Clinic (https://streetcatclinic.org/) Cat Solutions 305 (https://www.catsolutions305.com/) Contact Tia: catsolutions305@gmail.com Mentioned leaders: Bryan Kortis (Cat Stats - https://www.catstats.org/), Rick DuCharme (Community Cat Clinics - https://communitycatclinic.com/) Sponsor Links: Maddie's Fund (https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/maddies612) Follow & Review We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Kevin Harrington takes us on a thrilling journey from his early days as the pioneer of the infomercial industry to becoming a powerhouse investor and Shark Tank celebrity. With remarkable candor, he reveals how acquiring unused cable television time in the 1980s launched his career and led to building multiple public companies and completing over 1,000 business transactions.The true magic of Harrington's success lies in his ability to adapt to changing market conditions. When he noticed television viewership declining as younger generations flocked to TikTok and Instagram, he pivoted away from his As Seen On TV empire toward digital marketing strategies. This foresight led to one of his most spectacular investments—Celsius energy drink—which he joined as a board member when shares were just $0.10, helping build it into a $20 billion company without spending a single dollar on television advertising.Make sure to download as we bring the best centimillionaires and billionaires interviews on the Accredited Investor Podcast. To learn more about Jonathan's recession resilient mobile home park real estate Fund & Flex Space Development investments for Accredited Investors: https://www.midwestparkcapital.com/To learn more about Jonathan's business growth consulting and fractional CMO services, and digital marketing for small businesses:https://www.revenueascend.com/consulting/The Family Office Club was founded in 2007 and has now become the world's largest association in the industry with over 7,500 registered ultra-wealthy investors-Richard C.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Tiffany Alexander, Fund Manager and Owner of Aspen Sage Fund, about her 20-year journey from aspiring astronaut to successful real estate investor.

Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Tiffany Alexander, the hardest part of growing a small business is facing moments of financial uncertainty—when you feel like you can't keep going and don't know where the next penny will come from. Especially in real estate, she highlights the challenge of being "property rich and cash poor," where assets are tied up but liquid funds are lacking. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Tiffany Alexander's favorite business book that has helped her the most is Multiply Your God-Given Potential by John Bevere. She appreciates how the book challenges business owners to go beyond personal success by using their talents to give back, grow further, and make a greater impact rather than settling after reaching initial goals. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Tiffany Alexander recommends the Lucky Titan podcast by Josh Tapp as a great resource. She values it for its strong focus on marketing, which she believes is essential for business growth. She also emphasizes the power of referrals and using a CRM to track them as key tools for small business success. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Tiffany Alexander recommends using a white-labeled version of Pantheon Connect, a tool that helps manage and leverage LinkedIn connections for referrals. She values it for enabling her to build trust, request introductions, and expand her network effectively—crucial for growing a small business through relationships. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Tiffany Alexander's advice to herself on day one of starting out in business would be: “Ask more people. Don't be afraid to ask a dumb question. Ask. Don't quit on asking.” She believes staying quiet slows down progress and that growth comes from seeking help and information early and often.

Fernando Vinzons is Chief Investment Officer at the Chicago Teacher's Pension Fund, a role he has held for almost 3 years. He previously spent over 13 years at the Cook County Pension Fund and started his career in investment research. Our conversation starts with Fernando's initiation into stock picking, and how he earned the ropes pitching stock ideas to a legendary hedge fund manager. We move then to his move to an allocator role, and the entrepreneurial nature of his formative years, when resource constraints required the wearing of many hats.We move then to the Chicago Teachers Pension Plan and we discuss their diversity program in detail - we hear how the pension fund is leading the way in diversity, with over 51% of their portfolio managed by MWBE firms. The Fund's "First Look" program gives smaller investment firms a platform to showcase their talents and break through traditional industry barriers.  We discuss the benefit that this dialogue can create for these emerging managers who still struggle to get air time. Ending with advice and reflections, Fernando offers a reminder to stay calm, focus on long-term strategies, and remember that there's more to life than work stress. He also touts the benefit of travel to broaden the mind and offer more perspective.

Brandon Middaugh is the senior director of Microsoft's $1 billion Climate Innovation Fund, created in 2020 to accelerate technologies that help Microsoft and the wider economy meet aggressive 2030 sustainability goals: carbon‑negative, water‑positive, zero‑waste and ecosystem‑protective. Five years in, Brandon shares how the fund's “invest‑to‑procure” model aligns capital with Microsoft's own demand for clean power, fuels, carbon removal, low‑carbon materials and water solutions; what's working (a 5‑fold jump in durable CDR contracted since launch) and where supply still lags; and why scaling markets—not just piloting tech—is central to Microsoft's moon‑shot roadmap toward net‑zero and beyond. ​ In this episode, we cover: [01:43] Microsoft's ambitious 2030 sustainability targets[02:59] Brandon's path toward climate finance[10:59] The fund's “north star” [12:18] How carbon removal demand still dwarfs current supply[17:14] Airline partnerships supporting Microsoft's net-zero goals[19:46] Investment and procurement teams' flywheel collaboration[23:22] Water-related investments and initiatives[29:36] Program mandates: innovate, accelerate, and scale[31:57] Brandon's advice on transparent engagement with Microsoft[36:43] Predicting highly distributed future energy systems[40:16] How transformation only seems inevitable in hindsightEpisode recorded on April 10, 2025 (Published on May 12, 2025) Enjoyed this episode?
