In this YAS Podcast episode, host AM Davies joins NatsHoney (president of Strippers United, vice president of YAS Work), Selena (writer and Strippers United wellness director), and filmmaker Julia to mark International Sex Workers' Rights Day and the international community release of their documentary short, For the Love of Strippers. They discuss the film's collaborative approach, why sex workers are often excluded from creative control in documentaries, and how limited funding shaped the project. The conversation covers pandemic-era organizing, SESTA/FOSTA, AB5, worsening club conditions that pushed Nats and Selena out of dancing, and the need to distinguish consensual sex work from trafficking narratives. They close with calls for visibility, community screenings, donations, and public advocacy against stigma.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports President Trump's pick to head Homeland Security is urging lawmakers to end a partisan divide and return funding for the department.
If your idea of “partnerships” is guest speakers and career fairs… you're playing small.In this episode of the Disrupt Education Podcast, Peter Hostrawser and Alli Dahl unpack the uncomfortable truth: partnerships don't scale by hope — they scale by design. And if districts want real work-based learning, internships, and community-connected pathways, they can't keep treating partnerships like a PR checkbox.This conversation ties together the “boundary spanning” framework from Chris Brida's work and turns it into a practical leadership lens: how do we fund, staff, protect, and scale programs so they outlive one superhero leader? How do we rebuild trust when education has broken promises to industry? And what does it actually take to shift from event-based partnerships to real outcome-based systems?You'll hear why naming your program matters (because what's named can be funded), how trust is built through consistent design, and why schools that refuse to staff partnership work don't really want partnerships — they want optics.And yes… Alli brings a chicken into the episode to prove the point: you don't get “cuddly chickens” unless you're willing to get in the coop and do the work.In this episode:Why most school partnerships fail (and how to fix it)Partnership design vs. partnership “events”Funding + staffing + scaling programs through clear namingRebuilding trust with industry and community partnersBoundary spanning as the missing leadership frameworkThe chicken coop metaphor you won't forgetPowered by YouScience Brightpath.YouScience Brightpath, the next generation platform helping students make personalized decisions as they move from education to career.

He believes the best builders are specialists and explains with unusual clarity what it takes to become the best in the world at one specific thing.

The Land Podcast - The Pursuit of Land Ownership and Investing
Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio talking with Buck Land Funding. We discuss: Recreational hunting land has evolved into a legitimate and growing asset class. Interest rates and the broader economy heavily influence land buyer demand. Many buyers upgrade farms every few years as stepping stones to larger tracts. Pre-approval dramatically improves a buyer's ability to secure competitive land deals. Consumer debt like truck payments can drastically reduce land buying power. Recreational land values have steadily risen alongside inflation long-term. CRP conversions can turn lower-quality farmland into strong wildlife habitat. COVID accelerated demand as people sought outdoor recreation and privacy. Many land purchases are emotional decisions tied to family memories. And so much more!

The FIRST of our RE-HEATED series, where we re-issue episodes that might share something with racing stories in the news… Episode 150 featured RJ Valentine. RJ Valentine is one of sportscar racing's greatest characters, and beloved by our hosts. A businessman first, RJ grew up under tough circumstances in South Boston through the 1940's and 1950's, building a hugely successful series of businesses which eventually led him down the path of racing. Funding his own way, RJ has driven in Trans-Am, IMSA, and Grand-Am, all in their heyday, ultimately leading to his career highlight, winning the Daytona 500 (listen to episode for details). What makes RJ most entertaining is his complete zero-apologies character, not afraid to share his opinions on politics, people around him, and life at large. Dinner was served at Davios in Burlington, Massachusetts. Thanks again to Continental Tire and Acura for making it all happen.!

Flock cameras, and other license plate reader systems, are installed all over Colorado. The technology gives law enforcement access to a new level of tracking, a reach they say has helped them solve all kinds of terrible crimes and made the state safer. But community fears that law enforcement could misuse the data and invade people's privacy, and share it with federal immigration authorities, are mounting — and getting the attention of state lawmakers. CPR's Bente Birkeland and Denverite's Andrew Kenney dig into how this kind of surveillance tech has changed in recent years, the arguments for and against it and how some Colorado lawmakers hope to restrict how law enforcement can access this data. Catch up on our latest coverage: New restrictions on police surveillance advance in state Senate Denver fires Flock, prepares to switch to new roadway surveillance system Officer faces discipline after using Flock cameras to falsely accuse Denver woman of package theft Police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of package theft.

In 2024, California voters approved Proposition 1. That ballot measure set aside billions of dollars to add more mental health and addiction treatment beds across the state. But new reporting from our California newsroom partner, CalMatters, has found the initiative hasn't delivered a fraction of the support it promised. Guest: Marisa Kendall, CalMatters It's not just gas prices rising. The attacks on Iran are also causing fertilizer prices to surge by about 30%, just as the spring planting season gets underway in California.

South Carolina taxpayers face an unexpected surprise: part of their tax dollars is funding a queer historical podcast. In this episode, Tara breaks down the controversy over state spending increases, how taxpayer money is being allocated, and the political implications of funding niche projects. From cultural programming to judicial appointments, the conversation explores how policy choices reflect the priorities of lawmakers — and why some Republicans may not be as conservative as they claim. Summary Tara examines a recent budget increase in South Carolina and how a portion of taxpayer funds is being used to produce a queer historical audio drama series about 19th-century stage actress Charlotte Cushman. The episode highlights concerns over transparency in government spending, questioning why the general fund is supporting programming with a limited audience. The discussion also touches on political accountability, pointing out how some Republican legislators align with Democratic causes and decisions, including controversial judicial appointments. Tara emphasizes the importance of scrutiny over government spending and public awareness of where taxpayer money goes. Listeners gain insight into the intersection of culture, politics, and fiscal responsibility, and why debates over seemingly small expenditures can have broader implications for governance and public trust. Key Topics South Carolina budget increase and allocation of taxpayer funds Controversy over funding queer historical podcast projects Transparency and accountability in government spending Political implications of Republican lawmakers supporting progressive causes Judicial appointments and ideological alignment of elected officials The role of cultural programming in state-funded projects Social Media Post
Send a textRhode Island's proposed Rhode Island Green Bond includes funding for climate resilience, parks, and water infrastructure — but no money for land conservation.Two leading environmental organizations say that omission could halt decades of progress protecting farmland, forests, and community open space.In a recent op-ed, Jeffrey Hall of the Audubon Society of Rhode Island and Kate Sayles of the Rhode Island Land Trust Council warned that without a $10 million addition to the Green Bond, Rhode Island risks stalling conservation projects across the state.They argue the funding gap could jeopardize efforts to preserve working farms, protect forests, and expand local open space at a time when development pressure continues to grow.On this episode, Hall and Sayles explain:Why conservation funding was left out of the Green Bond proposalWhat projects could be lost without new fundingHow Rhode Island's long-running land protection programs workWhy they're asking lawmakers to add $10 million during the current budget sessionWhat the debate says about the state's environmental prioritiesThe decision ultimately rests with the Rhode Island General Assembly, which must finalize the bond proposal before it goes to voters.If conservation funding isn't restored, they say, Rhode Island could see farmland, forests, and community open spaces slip out of reach.Support the show
Send a textIf you're a developer trying to get homes built right now, you're stuck between two impossible choices:Pay what the landowner needs and lose money on the build. Or offer what the numbers say you can afford - and watch the deal die.Traditional deals are stalling everywhere. Finance and build costs are too high, sales are too slow, and the gap between what a developer can afford to pay for land - and what the landowner will accept - has become a chasm.But developers still want to build profitably, lenders and investors still want to back them, landowners still want to unlock value, and everyone agrees we desperately need more homes. Maybe the problem isn't a lack of motivation - it's that the traditional deal structure is outdated. What if the answer isn't trying to find a motivated seller who can offer cheaper land, or waiting for rates to drop - but structuring the deal itself completely differently, and working with the right kind of investors?In this episode, we're breaking down exactly how to do that, using a real case study of a deal that looked impossible on paper - a car park in Barnet owned by the Local Authority - but it got funded and is getting built anyway - with Sophie White, Regeneration Sector Head at Aviva Capital Partners, and James Scott, Co-founder and COO at Stories.

What happens when ordinary people try to build a democracy from scratch in the middle of a civil war — and what happens when it falls apart? In this episode, our host Kelly McFarland sits down with journalist and author Anand Gopal, a three-time Pulitzer finalist, to discuss his new book Days of Love and Rage: A Story of Ordinary People Forging a Revolution. The book follows six individuals in the northern Syrian city of Manbij, where residents overthrew the Assad regime in 2012 and launched a remarkable 18-month experiment in participatory democracy, before inequality, economic crisis, and the rise of ISIS tore it apart. In this conversation: How 50 protesters grew into a citywide movement that toppled a dictatorship The assemblies, newspapers, and civic organizations that emerged from 40 years of authoritarian silence Why economic inequality — not just tyranny — proved to be democracy's greatest threat How ISIS recruited ordinary, secular Syrians through populist rhetoric, not just ideology The role of women in the revolution and the double battle against both the regime and patriarchal norms What Syria's story tells us about radicalization, democratic fragility, and the long arc of revolution Lessons from comparing Syria's struggle to the French Revolution About the Guest: Anand Gopal is a journalist and author who has covered Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria for over a decade.

1. Democrats and DHS/ICE Some Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, are discussing abolishing ICE and even dismantling the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Democrats want major restrictions on ICE operations, such as: Requiring judicial warrants for arrests Banning face masks for agents Requiring body cameras Restricting enforcement at “sensitive locations” (hospitals, schools, polling sites) 2. These Proposals are: Unsafe, claiming they would create “safe havens” for criminals. Preventing ICE arrests at polling sites is unnecessary because non‑citizens cannot vote under federal law. Dismantling DHS would eliminate major agencies such as: CBP (Customs and Border Protection) ICE TSA FEMA Coast Guard Secret Service USCIS (Immigration Services) 3. FBI and Antifa Investigation Claims The FBI is conducting financial investigations into Antifa. Investigators have uncovered funding streams tied to Antifa activities. Some funding might flow through US‑based nonprofits, tax‑exempt groups, or even foreign sources. Patel is quoted saying more information will be released in the coming months. 4. Mention of Prior Cases Arrests connected to Antifa‑related violence in multiple states. A Federal trial in Texas involving alleged attacks on ICE personnel. Incidents related to the “Cop City” protests in Georgia. Antifa is described as a decentralized network, which the text claims makes prosecution harder.
