SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 377, “God Can Speak in Unexpected Ways,” Kim discusses the dangers of Christ-followers trying to limit how the Lord can speak to them. We see that in today's scriptures as King Josiah refuses to believe God would be speaking through an enemy king, and it cost him his life. May our daily life theme be, “Speak, your servant is listening,” with no limits on the when or the how He can speak.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 35:20-27, and with 22 as the focal verse:   22 But Josiah refused to listen to Neco, to whom God had indeed spoken, and he would not turn back. Instead, he disguised himself and led his army into battle on the plain of Megiddo.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   When you pray, “Speak, your servant is listening,” don't put limits on how the Lord can speak.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   10 And the Lord came and called as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening.” (1 Samuel 3:10) Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus     I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings (1 & 2 Chronicles) PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

Hace 8 años grabé mi primer episodio en GarageBand. Con un micrófono básico, sin saber bien para qué. Hoy llegamos al episodio 200… y todo cambió.En este episodio especial te comparto las 5 lecciones más importantes que me dejaron 200 episodios y 8 años de podcasting. Las mismas que convirtieron mi podcast en la máquina que expande mi negocio — y que hoy enseño a otras emprendedoras para que hagan lo mismo.Lo que vas a escuchar en este episodio:Por qué la monetización no depende del tamaño de tu audiencia, sino de la claridad de tu estrategiaCómo hacer entrevistas que sí mueven la aguja (y por qué entrevistar "por entrevistar" te roba el tiempo)El cambio de producir episodio por episodio a producir en bloques, para que tu podcast deje de sentirse una cargaLa analogía del realtor full time que te va a cambiar la forma de promocionar tu podcastPor qué medir tu data no es opcional si quieres crecer de verdadY al final: la historia real de cómo un episodio que ni siquiera promocioné terminó vendiendo mi programaPorque después de 8 años y 200 episodios, sigo confirmando lo mismo: el audio vende, incluso cuando tú no estás vendiendo activamente. Si construyes el sistema, el sistema trabaja por ti.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 376, “When Kindness & Generosity Flow,” Kim discusses the natural flow of encouragement, kindness, and generosity we see in the celebration of the Passover described in today's scripture passage. Today, what automatically flows from your life?   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 35:1-19, and with 14-15 as the focal verses:   14 Afterward the Levites prepared Passover offerings for themselves and for the priests—the descendants of Aaron—because the priests had been busy from morning till night offering the burnt offerings and the fat portions. The Levites took responsibility for all these preparations. 15 The musicians, descendants of Asaph, were in their assigned places, following the commands that had been given by David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, the king's seer. The gatekeepers guarded the gates and did not need to leave their posts of duty, for their Passover offerings were prepared for them by their fellow Levites.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Pray Psalm 139:23-24 for yourself, asking the Lord to show you what naturally flows from your heart.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 375, “Choosing to Respond to God's Word,” Kim discusses the importance of surrendering to the power of God's Word to change you. So many times, we approach God's Word without opening our hearts and minds to be changed by what we find there. May we learn from the example of King Josiah as he reacted to the initial reading of God's Word and then went on to publicly respond and challenge others to respond.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 34:29-33, and with 30-31 as the focal verses:   30 And the king went up to the Temple of the Lord with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, along with the priests and the Levites—all the people from the greatest to the least. There the king read to them the entire Book of the Covenant that had been found in the Lord's Temple. 31 The king took his place of authority beside the pillar and renewed the covenant in the Lord's presence. He pledged to obey the Lord by keeping all his commands, laws, and decrees with all his heart and soul. He promised to obey all the terms of the covenant that were written in the scroll.      WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Before approaching scripture, pray this simple prayer: “Please open my mind to understand the Scriptures.” (Ref. Luke 24:45)   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   19 When the king heard what was written in the Law, he tore his clothes in despair. (2 Chronicles 34:19) 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

In episode 29 of the Pirate Studios Podcast, Sammi sits down with artist manager Henry Lyons for a wide-ranging conversation on finding your way into the music industry without a clear blueprint.Henry traces his journey from making remixes on GarageBand and studying at NYU's Clive Davis Institute, to assisting Hayley Kiyoko, tour managing Gus Dapperton and Claud, and eventually finding his way into artist management. Along the way, he shares stories of chance meetings, cold emails, COVID-era pivots, and the importance of staying open, curious and genuinely interested in people.The conversation also digs into what makes a strong artist-manager relationship, why success looks different for every artist, and why trust, shared accountability and aligned expectations matter more than any single industry playbook. Henry also talks about working with Wallice, her recent signing to Fearless Records, and what he looks for when building long-term creative partnerships.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 374, “Who's Your Huldah? Say What?” Kim discusses the importance of being very careful who you trust with spiritual questions and in better understanding the scriptures. Who do you go to? Does anyone come to you? Remember, the Holy Spirit is the greatest teacher of the scriptures, and you need to begin your quest with Him.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 34:22-28, and with 22 as the focal verse:   22 So Hilkiah and the other men went to the New Quarter of Jerusalem to consult with the prophet Huldah. She was the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, the keeper of the Temple wardrobe.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Who do you go to when you need to better understand the scriptures? Does anyone come to you?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   2 Chronicles 34:14-28 Work hard so you can present yourself to God and his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed, and one who correctly explains the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus     I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings (1 & 2 Chronicles) PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

Welcome to the Sterile Technique Podcast! It's the podcast about Surgical Technology. Whether you are a CST or CSFA, this podcast helps you earn CE credits and improve both your surgical knowledge and skills in the OR. This episode discusses the cover article of the January 2016 issue of The Surgical Technologist, the official journal of the Association of Surgical Technologists (AST). The article is titled, "Stereotactic Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease". "Scrub in" at steriletpodcast.com and on Twitter, @SterileTPodcast (twitter.com/SterileTPodcast).

DJ, author, and music business professor Amani Roberts joins Alan and Steve to unpack how today's students are listening to and creating music—and what that means for K–12 music educators. In this episode, they discuss: Why teens prefer singles and short-form content over full albums Strategies for teaching deep listening using artists like Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar The rise of beat-making and bedroom producers, and what's lost when theory and ensemble work fade Simple ways to get started with GarageBand, DAWs, and found sounds in your classroom How declining school music programs are reshaping the skills of working artists today Amani also shares highlights from his book on the history of R&B groups, his life as a touring DJ, and a few personal favorites—from a memorable Tina Marie concert to a go-to Vegas restaurant.

SPCC plans are one of the most common - and most misunderstood - regulatory requirements in the bulk fuel industry. While the plan itself may seem straightforward, proving compliance is where things get complicated. In this episode, we kick off a new SPCC Basics series by breaking down one of the biggest pain points for facility operators: recordkeeping. From routine inspections to “as-needed” documentation, understanding what needs to be recorded - and when - is critical to staying compliant. We walk through how recordkeeping is typically structured by frequency (daily, monthly, annual), where facilities commonly miss the mark, and why simply having a checklist isn't always enough. We also cover the often-overlooked records that don't fall neatly into a form but are still expected during an audit. If you're responsible for implementing an SPCC plan, this episode will help you better understand your role, reduce uncertainty, and avoid getting caught off guard when it's time to prove compliance. 

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 373, “God's Word Transforms,” Kim discusses the biblical story about the time God's Word was “found.” The Word that was to be their guide for daily life had been relegated to a hidden spot in the Temple, and due to King Josiah's restoration orders, the missing Book of the Law resurfaced. Kim shares how this same issue can happen in our lives today and encourages listeners to never let that happen.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 34:14-21, and with 19 as the focal verse:   19 When the king heard what was written in the Law, he tore his clothes in despair.      WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   When was the last time God's Word brought you to tears?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. (Hebrews 4:12) 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

2026 Show Notes Addendum:    To round out our second (and final) visit to the realm of backwards VGM (and very closely related non-VGM) on Nerd Noise Radio, let's replay the 2020 original series, which was also a two-parter, but instead of being two "equal billing" parts, it was a one part "episode proper" and then a supplemental Ch F "F-isode" bonus. In addition to being one of my all-time favorite projects to work on in show history, the series also marked an important turning point in show history as the first installment was our last ever NNR broadcast on the main feed to be produced in GarageBand on MacOS (except for the deliberate call-back that was C1E75 in 2023), and the F-isode was my first ever production in Audacity and Ardour in Linux (then Ubuntu Studio (KDE), now, Fedora (GNOME)). Original Show Notes below are largely faithful to the original with one MASSIVE exception: the tracklist is now populated with all the relevant track info, where it was originally withheld to keep the mystery and mystique alive.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original Show Notes (modified to show track names on 04/20/2026):   ------------------------------------------------------------------------   You are tuned to Nerd Noise Radio – Channel F. Today's “F-isode” is significant not only for being only the second F-isode we've had in over a year, when they used to be quite a bit more common, but is also significant for being the first ever production of Nerd Noise Radio of any type to be produced entirely on Linux. Historically, the show has been produced on Mac. With a small backlog of previously-produced, but not-yet-released music blocks that were, of course, produced on the Mac still in reserve for future episodes, it will be some time yet before the Mac presence fades from the show completely. But it is my hope to do the lion's share of future all-new production on Linux moving forward. So, the shift will be a glide, rather than a snap. But that shift starts...here.    Longtime listeners of the show will know full well what a Channel F F-isode is, but a pair of really beautiful things happened early this month which will have brought new attention to the show, from faces as near and dear as my fellow Des Moinesers (and surrounding communities), to as far-flung as Linux fans all the world over. For an explanation of what Channel F is, and how it relates to Nerd Noise Radio as a whole for the newcomers, as well as the details of who and what the new faces are, and how all that came about, see below. Also, for a descripton of how this F-isode relates to our April Fool's episode, “Backtracks”, see the blog....or just sit, back, relax, and enjoy, as you listen to.....”The OTHER 50”!     Timestamps provided, but track details withheld for now in case anyone wanted to play the guessing game on the tracks. A follow-up blog post on April 30th will provide the entire track list information for both Backtracks and for today's outing. So, be on the lookout for that.    In the meantime, enjoy!    Tracklist (ALL TRACKS ARE PLAYED IN REVERSE - except Intro)!

The mini-article appears in the April Issue of the magazine which can be viewed online (Link below). In addition to that, Jason Evangelho, a tech-writer for Forbes Magazine who focuses on Linux very generously boosted my tweets about my first production in Linux, which went on to become the most liked and retweeted tweet in my history on the platform. I make it a point to look at “the numbers” as little as possible, so I don't know how many (if any) of the new faces stuck around. But certainly a number of them at least had a peek. If you are a new face, either brought to the show through the Cityview article, or through Jason's buff of my tweet, get a hold of me to let me know you're here!     Presuming we did have at least a few stick around, I should give an explanation of what Channel F is, relative to Channel 1, and Archive Super Bonuses, so you know how this show works. I will do so at length on the blogspot version of this episode, where the blog format is more accommodating of lengthiness. But I will give you a brief overview here:     Channel 1: This is “the show proper”. These are “the actual episodes”. On average, 10 fresh episodes a year (with reruns to fill in the blanks). Other than extraordinary circumstances, they follow a standard “enhanced mixtape” format: a short, semi-standard intro, and standard housekeeping outro bookending a winding, twisting journey through sound. We have had quite the spate of non-standard “Channel 1” Episodes of late though, so for the newcomers, I wanted to stress what “normal” looks like. We don't anticipate having anything else non-standard for several months moving forward.    Channel F: This is my side-outlet for bonuses, betas, extras. It can be virtually anything. And additional mixtape music block (like today), but has been all sorts of things. We even had one that was an exposition on a certain episode's outro. Anything that doesn't fit in Channel 1, but that I still want to have full attention (podcast feed, blog, social media, Archive.org, etc) becomes a Channel F “F-isode”.    Super Bonuses: These are for the times where I have something that I felt was worth producing, and felt was worth putting out there, but did not want to clog up the podcast feed, or the blog, or social media with. Generally, it takes the form of remixes and twists on existing content. Since they only come out on Archive, and not anywhere else, and since they're not really advertised, this creates a nice “underground” quality to them. I usually drop hints inside Episodes and F-isodes if there are any Super Bonuses planned. But beyond that, a person just needs to know to be on the lookout. They will release even less consistently than F-isodes, but will also tend to be in bursts around certain episodes that are rich for alternate twists on their content.    See the blogspot version of this episode if you'd like to know more about these. Link below. Meanwhile, our next all-new episode is planned for August, though I do have some really great reruns lined up for the months between. Even those will still constitute much more of a “return to normalcy” for the show than what our past several months of fresh content offers, so a great chance to “get to know us” I hope you will enjoy! We also have a secondary podcast feed which is dedicated entirely to reruns, which will feature reruns different than the ones on the main feed, if you wish to explore even more Nerd Noise Radio history. It can be found on your podcatcher of choice by the name “Nerd Noise Radio Reruns”.    Cheers!    Link to the Cityview Article:    http://dmcityview.com/CityviewApril2020/html5/index.html?page=1&noflash (page 50)    You can find previous articles by Jeff by searching www.dmcityview.com or as compiled on Muck Rack:    https://muckrack.com/jeff-pitts/articles    Link to Jason Evangelho's Forbes articles  (@killyourfm on Twitter)    https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/#18ee68a0d36f    Link to Blogspot version of today's “F-isode” (for the long version the Channels descriptions, etc.)    https://nerdnoiseradio.blogspot.com/2020/04/channel-f-backtracks-other-50.html 

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 372, “Never Discount the Impact of Your Talents,” Kim discusses the talents each of us have been given and our accountability to use them all to the glory of the Lord. In today's lesson, Kim uses the focal text, as well as other scriptures, to remind listeners that ALL talents are important and each of our talents should be dedicated to the Lord.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 34:10-13, and with 11-13 as the focal verses:   11 They hired carpenters and builders, who purchased finished stone for the walls and timber for the rafters and beams. They restored what earlier kings of Judah had allowed to fall into ruin. 12 The workers served faithfully under the leadership of Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the Merarite clan, and Zechariah and Meshullam, Levites of the Kohathite clan. Other Levites, all of whom were skilled musicians, 13 were put in charge of the laborers of the various trades. Still others assisted as secretaries, officials, and gatekeepers.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Which talent have you been neglecting or do you need to dedicate to the Lord?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   1 Corinthians 12:12-31 Matthew 25:14-30 23 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.

2026 Show Notes Addendum:    To round out our second (and final) visit to the realm of backwards VGM (and very closely related non-VGM) on Nerd Noise Radio, let's replay the 2020 original series, which was also a two-parter, but instead of being two "equal billing" parts, it was a one part "episode proper" and then a supplemental Ch F "F-isode" bonus. In addition to being one of my all-time favorite projects to work on in show history, the series also marked an important turning point in show history as the first installment was our last ever NNR broadcast on the main feed to be produced in GarageBand on MacOS (except for the deliberate call-back that was C1E75 in 2023), and the F-isode was my first ever production in Audacity and Ardour in Linux (then Ubuntu Studio (KDE), now, Fedora (GNOME)). Original Show Notes below are largely faithful to the original with one MASSIVE exception: the tracklist is now populated with all the relevant track info, where it was originally withheld to keep the mystery and mystique alive. Lastly: in case anyone is wondering what on earth is happening in the outro: I figured since it would be backwards, and nobody would ever hear it forward unless they either took the initiative to reverse the file themselves, or else find the [quote] "UNBACKED" version on Archive.org, they'd never know what on earth was being said, I decided to forego the standard outro script, and just go nuts. I read a chocolate chip cookie recipe I found online on the spot, and included snippets from every previous episode blooper reel in show history to that point as well as various other sound clips, such as slow-mo vids of my kids, and fresh snippets provided by my brother-in-law Brian Peterson. Anyway, that's what's happening in the outro. I wanted it to be as preposterous and baffling and chaotic as possible!   ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original Show Notes (modified to show track names on 04/20/2026):   ------------------------------------------------------------------------   Today's broadcast is C1E52 for Wayback Wednesday, April 1st, 2020. It's April 1st, dear listeners, and we haven't had a retrospective in AGES! In such dark, uncertain days as we face today, it's extra important to have a look back at brighter, clearer, saner days as a reminder that as the wheel of time continues to churn, we will inexorably find our way back.   So, sit back and relax as we travel back through 2hrs 25min, and 56 sec of Nerd Noise History and Nostalgia on a program we're calling “Backtracks”.   It is certain to be an experience unlike any other!   Tracklist (ALL TRACKS ARE PLAYED IN REVERSE - except Intro)!

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 371, “When Did You Begin to Seek God?” Kim discusses the timeline of young King Josiah's spiritual life and growth. As we examine the early years of the king's reign, Kim challenges listeners to reflect on their own spiritual timelines.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 34:1-9, and with 3 as the focal verse:   During the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, Josiah began to seek the God of his ancestor David. Then in the twelfth year he began to purify Judah and Jerusalem, destroying all the pagan shrines, the Asherah poles, and the carved idols and cast images.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   If you were to draw a timeline of your spiritual walk, where would the progress points be?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus   I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings (1 & 2 Chronicles) PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 370, “We Can't Determine What Another Imitates,” Kim discusses the importance of choosing our actions and attitudes wisely. Others are watching our lives and may be imitating our attitudes and actions. If that is so, what would you want them to imitate, and what would you prefer they ignore? In today's story, King Amon followed the example of his father, King Manasseh, in every area, except for the one that counted most — humbling himself before the Lord.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 21:19-26 and 2 Chronicles 33:21-25 , and with 2 Kings 21:21-22 and 2 Chronicles 33:22-23 as the focal verses:   21 He followed the example of his father, worshiping the same idols his father had worshiped. 22 He abandoned the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and he refused to follow the Lord's ways.   22 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father, Manasseh, had done. He worshiped and sacrificed to all the idols his father had made. 23 But unlike his father, he did not humble himself before the Lord. Instead, Amon sinned even more.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   What habit(s) would you not want someone else to imitate?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   “The Ultimate Gift” “Watching You” by Rodney Atkins EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus   I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings (1 & 2 Chronicles) PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

Ever feel confident you're following the rules… only to find out the rules changed? In this episode of Tank Talk, Shannon and Haley talk about one of the most common compliance pitfalls in environmental operations: regulations evolving quietly in the background while day-to-day operations keep moving. Just like driving down a familiar road where the speed limit suddenly changed, facilities can unknowingly fall out of compliance when regulations are updated after a plan, permit, or audit was completed. We're seeing this happen more and more in air and water regulations, where updates can occur on unpredictable timelines. A report that confirmed compliance a few years ago may no longer reflect the current regulatory landscape. So how do operators avoid getting blindsided? Shannon shares seven practical strategies that facility managers and environmental professionals can use to stay ahead of regulatory changes. The conversation also covers what happens when regulations change, how transition periods typically work, and what to do if you discover you're already past a compliance deadline. If you manage fuel facilities, environmental programs, or regulatory plans, this episode offers practical steps to help ensure your compliance program doesn't quietly expire in the background. We've included a resource list with helpful agency webpages, industry groups, and notification lists that can help you stay informed when regulations change. Remember: compliance is a point in time — and it can change without warning.Download the guide: 7 Ways To Stay Ahead of Regulatory Changes — Integrity EnvironmentalSupport the showintro/outro created with GarageBand

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 369, “For All Who Think They Are Too Far Gone,” Kim discusses King Manasseh and the miraculous turn his life took. He went from leading others down one of the darkest paths imaginable to humbly surrendering to the Lord. If Manasseh, with his massive list of sinful behavior, could hear the Lord speak and turn to Him, you are not too far gone.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 33:1-20, and with 12-13 as the focal verses:   12 But while in deep distress, Manasseh sought the Lord his God and sincerely humbled himself before the God of his ancestors. 13 And when he prayed, the Lord listened to him and was moved by his request. So the Lord brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh finally realized that the Lord alone is God!     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Ask the Lord to lay on your heart someone you can lift in prayer who feels he/she is too far gone.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 368, “Getting More Is Not Always a Good Thing,” Kim discusses the deeply dark period of time in the Southern Kingdom of Judah during the reign of King Manasseh. To go from the God-honoring reign of Hezekiah to the long, evil reign of his son Manasseh must have been a bit of cultural whiplash. Sadly, the reforms Hezekiah had made did not withstand his son's persistently idol-focused agenda. And yet, there are millions of Christ-followers across our world today living under similar or even darker spiritual conditions.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 21:1-18, and with 9 as the focal verse:   9 But the people refused to listen, and Manasseh led them to do even more evil than the pagan nations that the Lord had destroyed when the people of Israel entered the land.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Pause and pray for your persecuted brothers and sisters across the world.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   For information about Secret Church How to Pray for the Persecuted Church by Evangeline Vergo EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus   I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings (1 & 2 Chronicles) PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 367, “You Can Bid on This Showcase,” Kim discusses the dangers of mistaken objects and people as our property instead of as ours to steward for the Lord. In today's scriptures, King Hezekiah looked as though he were the host of the ancient version of the game show “The Price Is Right.” He had moved from being grateful for all the Lord had placed in his path to acting as though he were the owner. As obvious as it is to see that Hezekiah had lost track of who was in charge, it can not be as easy to see the same behaviors in ourselves.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 32:24-33 and 2 Kings 20:12-21, and  with 2 Chronicles 32:31 as the focal verse:   31 However, when ambassadors arrived from Babylon to ask about the remarkable events that had taken place in the land, God withdrew from Hezekiah in order to test him and to see what was really in his heart.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   What items and which people have you moved from stewarding for God to believing they are yours?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus   I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings (1 & 2 Chronicles) PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 366, “Proper Response to a Move of God,” Kim discusses the multiple movements of God that King Hezekiah experienced and how we can learn from his response. During the first part of his reign, Hezekiah saw God move in his people and on their behalf, and Hezekiah consistently pointed the people to God and gave him glory. Yet, sadly, as time went on, instead of using what the Lord was doing as opportunities to point to the greatness of God, Hezekiah became proud. This story, as well as next week's, should challenge each of us to be intentional about remembering where the glory goes.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 32:24-26, with 25 as the focal verse:   24 About that time Hezekiah became deathly ill. He prayed to the Lord, who healed him and gave him a miraculous sign. 25 But Hezekiah did not respond appropriately to the kindness shown him, and he became proud. So the Lord's anger came against him and against Judah and Jerusalem. 26 Then Hezekiah humbled himself and repented of his pride, as did the people of Jerusalem. So the Lord's anger did not fall on them during Hezekiah's lifetime.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   When have you received a move of God (I.e., obvious answer to prayer, witnessed a miracle)?

Diante dos diversos problemas éticos, políticos e sociais causados pelas grandes corporações tecnológicas (big techs) na última década, cresce a busca por alternativas à estrutura digital moldada por estas empresas do Norte Global. O uso de softwares livres e de código aberto — replicáveis por qualquer pessoa, comunidade, instituição ou governo — reacende o debate sobre soberania digital no mundo. Nesse sentido, redes sociais alternativas, construídas sobre bases de código aberto surgem como saída plausível do monopólio das big techs e das estruturas opacas e dominantes. Neste episódio, Damny Laya e Rogério Bordini conversam com especialistas da comunidade do software livre e redes descentralizadas (Fediverso) sobre experiências concretas de tecnologias voltadas à soberania digital no Brasil e no mundo. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ ROTEIRO DAMNY: Rogério, eu queria começar com uma pergunta incômoda: o que significa, hoje, participar de uma rede social na internet? ROGÉRIO: Eu diria que é uma espécie de plataforma multiúso: serve pra gente se conectar com nossos amigos, familiares, compartilhar conteúdos diversos, como um vídeo interessante, um meme, participar de grupos de discussão, como no saudoso Orkut, lembra? Tudo isso como se fosse uma extensão das nossas interações sociais, só que no mundo virtual. Mas parece que a coisa hoje em dia tá BEM diferente. Hoje a gente não é só usuário dessas redes, mas também produto, audiência, e até alvo. E, diria mais, cada vez mais, reféns. DAMNY: Refém é uma palavra forte, mas talvez seja a mais adequada. Refém de um modelo de negócio que extrai nossos dados, monitora nossos passos, lê nossas conversas, mapeia nossos gostos e comportamentos, e depois vende tudo isso como se fosse mercadoria. ROGÉRIO: E o problema não é só econômico. Também é político. Nos últimos anos, as grandes plataformas deixaram claro de que lado estão. Em janeiro de 2025, por exemplo, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO da Meta e dono do Instagram, Facebook e WhatsApp, anunciou mudanças profundas nas políticas de moderação de conteúdo, alinhando a empresa à agenda da extrema-direita nos Estados Unidos. O próprio Donald Trump, que tinha sido banido das redes após os ataques ao Capitólio, foi readmitido com honrarias. DAMNY: E não foi só a Meta. O X, antigo Twitter, adquirido pelo Elon Musk, transformou a moderação num vale tudo. Discurso de ódio, desinformação organizada, ataques sistemáticos a cientistas e jornalistas. Tudo isso enquanto as plataformas investem pesado para inviabilizar qualquer tentativa de regulação, seja no Brasil, na Europa ou no mundo tudo. ROGÉRIO: Essas redes deixaram de ser espaços de encontro e se tornaram territórios hostis. E muitos usuários, insatisfeitos com essas políticas e mecanismos de uso destas plataformas, têm buscado por alternativas, como aconteceu com o  êxodo quando Musk assumiu o X.  DAMNY: Mas para onde ir? As alternativas pareciam muito semelhantes às já existentes com políticas de uso também questionáveis. Até que, nos últimos anos, um ecossistema silencioso começou a chamar a atenção. ROGÉRIO: Você tá falando do Fediverso? DAMNY: Exato. O Fediverso. Uma constelação de redes sociais descentralizadas, interconectadas, que funcionam numa lógica completamente diferente daquela das big techs. Sem um dono. Sem um algoritmo sombrio. Sem anúncios. Sem vigilância como modelo de negócio. [música] DAMNY: Eu sou Damny Laya, jornalista de ciência e tecnologia, pesquisador e bolsista Mídia Ciência do Núcleo de Desenvolvimento da Criatividade (Nudecri). Tenho me dedicado a estudar redes descentralizadas, governança da internet e soberania digital. O incômodo que a gente descreveu agora há pouco não é só profissional, é também de quem passa o dia pensando sobre esses sistemas e se pergunta: dá pra fazer diferente? ROGÉRIO: E sou Rogério Bordini, também jornalista de ciência. Pesquiso o Fediverso e o uso de ferramentas de acesso aberto como forma de emancipação dos algoritmos de controle. O tema do Fediverso tem aparecido cada vez mais nas conversas que a gente tem com colegas, estudantes e gestores públicos.  DAMNY: Tanto que, para este episódio, a gente foi atrás de quem entende do assunto. Conversamos com especialistas do Fediverso, da cultura do software livre e da agenda da soberania digital. Queríamos entender não só o que é esse ecossistema, mas como ele funciona na prática. ROGÉRIO: Então, neste episódio, a gente vai explicar o que é o Fediverso, como ele está organizado e sobre algumas plataformas que fazem parte dele, além de como você pode fazer parte desse ecossistema. Mas também vamos discutir os desafios, a moderação de conteúdo, a governança comunitária e a barreira de entrada para quem não é familiarizado com a tecnologia. DAMNY: E, claro, vamos ouvir quem está na linha de frente. Nossos convidados vão ajudar a gente a entender também se o Fediverso pode ser, de fato, um caminho para a soberania digital ou o que falta para isso acontecer. ROGÉRIO: Pois bem. Respira que o Oxigênio tá só começando. [fim da música] [VINHETA DE ABERTURA OXIGÊNIO] ROGÉRIO: Imagine que as redes sociais comerciais são como grandes shopping centers. O Facebook, o Instagram, o X, o TikTok… Cada um é um centro comercial imenso, com suas próprias lojas, suas próprias regras, sua própria segurança. Pra entrar, você precisa aceitar o contrato deles. E, principalmente: o shopping é dono de tudo. Do estacionamento, das câmeras, dos corredores, do que você faz lá dentro. Você é visitante, mas não morador. DAMNY: Essa é uma boa analogia. Mas, nessa lógica, a gente pode comparar o Fediverso com o quê então? ROGÉRIO: O Fediverso é como uma cidade. Não tem um único dono. Tem ruas, praças, casas. Cada bairro tem suas próprias regras, sua própria administração. Mas as ruas se conectam, as praças são acessíveis a todo mundo, e você pode circular livremente. Melhor ainda: você pode morar num bairro, mas visitar os outros sem precisar mudar de endereço. THIAGO: O Fediverso é a tentativa de construção de uma praça pública digital, de fato, onde as pessoas podem realmente ter seus lugares de fala, seus púlpitos, seus vários púlpitos ali pra fazer seus discursos, suas falas, ou pra sentar no banco e ler um livro, enfim, ela é de fato essa possibilidade de criar uma praça pública digital. DAMNY: Esse aí é o ativista digital, comunicador e um dos fundadores da Fundação Alquimidia em Florianópolis, o Thiago Gonzaga, mais conhecido como Thiago Skarnio. Isso que ele acabou de falar é crucial: você pode ajudar a construir sua própria praça pública, seu próprio bairro. Soberania digital começa aí. ROGÉRIO: Exato. Mas vamos organizar isso. O Fediverso é formado por um conjunto de servidores independentes que se comunicam entre si. Cada um desses servidores é chamado de instância. Uma instância pode ser imensa, com dezenas de milhares de usuários, ou pode ser pequena, com meia dúzia de amigos. Pode ser administrada por uma universidade, por um coletivo de ativistas, por uma empresa, uma escola, ou só uma pessoa. DAMNY: O importante é que cada instância é autônoma. Ela define suas próprias regras de moderação, sua política de privacidade, seu código de conduta. E, ao mesmo tempo, ela conversa com as outras instâncias. Apesar de serem instancias independentes, elas conseguem conversar entre elas. Isso que é conhecido como universo federado. Além disso, precisamos falar de outra característica do Fediverso: a interoperabilidade. ROGÉRIO: Essa é uma palavra feia, mas o conceito é simples. Interoperabilidade é a capacidade de sistemas diferentes se entenderem. Imagina que o que você posta no X pudesse ser visto pelos usuários do Instagram ou vice-versa. Isso não é possível de se fazer nessas redes comerciais porque trabalham com protocolos e linguagens fechadas. No Fediverso, isso só funciona porque todas as plataformas e redes sociais utilizam o mesmo protocolo, chamado ActivityPub. DAMNY: Nestas redes sociais – sejam de blogs, microblogs, vídeos, imagens ou outros tipos de conteúdo – os sites do Fediverso que utilizam esse protocolo conseguem se conectar entre si, pois todos falam a mesma linguagem. ROGÉRIO: E isso é o oposto do que as Big Tech fazem. Elas constroem muralhas. Você não leva seus contatos do Instagram pro Threads, por exemplo. Você não exporta sua lista de seguidores do X pro Bluesky. Cada plataforma é uma ilha, e mudar de ilha significa recomeçar do zero. DAMNY: Enquanto isso, no Fediverso, você pode migrar de uma instância para outra, levar seus contatos, manter suas conversas. Neste caso, você é o dono dos seus contatos. Ou, no mínimo, é a comunidade que você escolheu. ROGÉRIO: Vamos dar um exemplo. O Mastodon é a plataforma mais popular do Fediverso, hoje com mais de 10 milhões de usuários. DAMNY: Essa rede costuma ser comparada ao X, já que também funciona como um micro‑blog. A interface lembra o X – com posts de até 500 caracteres, linha do tempo, reposts e favoritos – mas a lógica é totalmente diferente. ROGÉRIO: Diferente em pelo menos três aspectos fundamentais. Primeiro: não há um algoritmo influenciando no que você vê. O feed é cronológico reverso. O que seus contatos postam aparece na ordem em que publicaram. Se você está nas redes há mais tempo, deve lembrar que no começo o Facebook e o Instagram até seguiam essa lógica, mas mudaram completamente a entrega dos posts nos últimos anos.  DAMNY: Segundo: a moderação é comunitária. Cada instância possui regras próprias, acessíveis e transparentes a todos os usuários. Se você não concorda com a moderação da sua instância, pode se mudar para outra.  ROGÉRIO: Terceiro: não há anúncios. Mastodon, por exemplo, não é comercializado como um produto porque não tem acionistas. Seu financiamento vem de doações, campanhas de financiamento coletivo, apoio institucional e outras fontes. Isso transforma radicalmente a relação entre a plataforma e seus usuários. DAMNY: Agora, é importante deixar claro que descentralização não é sinônimo de solução para todos os problemas. Existem, sim, instâncias tóxicas no Fediverso, como de grupos extremistas, negacionistas e assediadores. A diferença é que, no Fediverso, as comunidades podem se desfederar. O Thiago explica um pouco: THIAGO: O Fediverso tem um pouco de autorregulação. Se uma instância é nociva, permite conteúdo tóxico, ela acaba sendo isolada de várias outras instâncias. Você pode bloquear aquela instância. Assim como o e-mail. Não quer mais receber e-mail de tal domínio. Você pode bloquear. ROGÉRIO: E isso nos leva a um ponto crucial. Nas redes centralizadas, você está sempre sujeito ao arbítrio unilateral de uma empresa. Se o X do Musk decide que você violou uma regra, mesmo que vaga e mal explicada, você pode perder sua conta. Recurso às vezes nem existe. No Fediverso, a relação já é outra. Você não é súdito, você é cidadão. DAMNY: Cidadão de uma federação. Pois a federação consiste exatamente nisso: unidades autônomas que decidem cooperar, servidores administrados por pessoas como eu e você, dispostos a criar verdadeiras redes sociais. Nenhum deles controla o outro, mas todos podem se comunicar. Se quiserem interromper a comunicação, podem silenciar ou bloquear mutuamente. ROGÉRIO: E a promessa é a de uma experiência online onde você não é o produto, onde o algoritmo não te manipula, onde suas conversas não são vigiadas para alimentar máquinas de perfilamento e publicidade comportamental. Mais do que uma promessa, é um ato de autonomia e de soberania digital. DAMNY: Mas como atrair pessoas para esse universo? Como encontrar uma instância ou comunidade que faça sentido? E como garantir que essas redes não repitam, em outra roupagem, os mesmos problemas de outras redes comerciais? E também, se o Fediverso é tão bom assim, por que todas as pessoas não estão o utilizando? ROGÉRIO: É sobre isso que a gente vai conversar no próximo bloco. Porque o Fediverso não é só tecnologia. É cultura, é política, é experimentação institucional. E tem gente aqui no Brasil construindo isso com as próprias mãos. [Música]  ROGÉRIO: Instituições públicas e movimentos sociais no Brasil têm começado a experimentar o Fediverso como alternativa às plataformas comerciais, como é o caso de universidades, órgãos de pesquisa e equipamentos culturais. Gente que decidiu que não queria mais alimentar máquinas de vigilância com os dados da sua própria comunicação institucional. DAMNY: Exato. Porque uma coisa é a migração individual, a escolha pessoal de abandonar uma determinada rede. Outra coisa, é quando uma instituição pública ou um movimento social decide ocupar novos territórios. Aí a conversa ganha contornos de política pública, de infraestrutura, de projeto de país. ROGÉRIO: E essa questão se refere a isso que chamamos de soberania digital. Conceito que parece abstrato, mas que se materializa em decisões muito concretas. Quem guarda meus dados? Quem define as regras da minha conversa? Quem pode me expulsar de um espaço? E, mais importante: eu posso construir meu próprio espaço? DAMNY: O Fediverso oferece uma resposta possível para essas perguntas. Não por acaso tem atraído atenção de pesquisadores, ativistas, jornalistas e gestores públicos no Brasil e no mundo. Essa iniciativa de procurar o Fediverso como alternativa não surge isoladamente; ela responde a um movimento já em andamento ao redor do globo. Grandes instituições passaram a abandonar o X, por exemplo. ROGÉRIO: Pois é. O The Guardian, com 27 milhões de seguidores, anunciou sua saída do X, classificando a plataforma como tóxica e afirmando que o Elon Musk tem usado sua influência para moldar o discurso político. Mais de sessenta universidades na Alemanha e na Áustria também decidiram encerrar suas contas porque os algoritmos da plataforma, segundo elas, se opõem à integridade científica e democrática. DAMNY: Na França, 86 associações solidárias e ambientalistas também abandonaram o X. Na Espanha, a Greenpeace e a Conferência de Reitores das Universidades Espanholas também se despediram. O argumento se repete: a plataforma não reflete mais os valores das instituições que a ocupavam. São 60 mil contas desativadas por dia, e isso foi só em novembro de 2024. ROGÉRIO: E no Brasil a gente também tem sentido esse movimento. Milhões de usuários deixaram o X nos últimos meses, e a empresa perdeu entre 80 e 100 milhões de dólares anuais em receita no país. Mas, o boicote é louvável, porém ainda tá longe do ideal. DAMNY: Exato. A pergunta que fica é: para onde ir? Muita gente tem migrado para o Threads ou o Bluesky. Essa última é uma plataforma descentralizada, sim, mas mantida por bilionários, o antigo dono do Twitter, Jack Dorsey, que no fim das contas é mais um Tech Bro. Trocar um bilionário por outro, mesmo com arquitetura diferente, não resolve o problema estrutural da concentração de poder e da falta de controle comunitário. ROGÉRIO: É aí que entra o Fediverso. E o que a gente tem visto é que, paralelamente a esse êxodo, há um movimento de instituições públicas brasileiras, movimentos sociais, coletivos e ativistas que estão fazendo uma aposta diferente. Em vez de migrar para outra plataforma comercial, estão ocupando o Fediverso, criando instâncias, desenvolvendo comunidades, experimentando soberania digital na prática. DAMNY: Sobre isso falará Thiago Skarnio, o único latino-americano no conselho do FediForum, o maior evento mundial dedicado a pensar e melhorar o Fediverso. THIAGO: Ano passado a gente conseguiu articular, fez uma sugestão também para o Comitê Gestor da Internet, que tivesse o domínio social.br para que tivesse uma extensão de domínio específica para mídias sociais, focando nas instâncias do Fediverso. Foi acatado isso, a gente achou bem legal, então dá para registrar o social.br hoje, indica que aquilo é uma mídia social. A gente fez o Websocial.br, né, o Dam participou, falando das universidades, iniciativas, e tem feito algumas ações que eu chamo de ações estruturantes para o Fediverso né? Criou um fórum online para os organizadores de instâncias trocarem informações e debaterem, e documentarem, né, tirarem suas dúvidas, para quem está mais tempo no Fediverso, isso é para focar em quem mantém a instância. E recentemente articulou também para que existisse uma instância chamada Orgânica.social, que é uma instância que está aberta hoje, é uma instância feita junto com a Pop Solutions, ela está hospedada em território nacional, e ela é feita para acolher um grande volume de pessoas no Brasil, se o Twitter saiu do ar, o Instagram, se precisar de algum lugar para correr hoje existe a Orgânica.social. Essa iniciativa coletiva também tem muitas pessoas ali, tem uma comunidade cada vez mais crescente, tem o coletivo Onda, que está ajudando também com a moderação, junto com as pessoas da própria comunidade, e a Alquimidia tem ajudado a construir isso. ROGÉRIO: Entre essas ações estruturantes para o Fediverso que o Thiago acabou de mencionar, a que mais tem tido impacto é a criação da instância da Organica.Social, uma rede social descentralizada no Brasil, com a infraestrutura do Mastodon. Hoje a Orgânica tem quase 2 mil usuários e continua crescendo graças à campanha #vemprofediverso, impulsionada pela Alquimidia e outros parceiros nas redes sociais corporativas. THIAGO: Porque eu considero que a gente está hoje prototipando uma web social brasileira, o que a gente está fazendo hoje é meio que prototipando, a gente sabe que tem ainda pouca gente relacionada à população brasileira inteira, mas a gente sabe que o que a gente está fazendo hoje está sendo feito para ficar grande, para que seja ocupado e utilizado por toda a população. Tem feito várias frentes também com governos para ver se eles implementam, e tem acompanhado essas iniciativas universitárias, que é muito legal também, e a gente sabe que uma hora isso vai acabar crescendo bastante. DAMNY: O Thiago também falou como é gerenciada a instância da Organica e as diferenças na governança em relação com as redes sociais comerciais. THIAGO: a proposta da orgânica é ser uma instância comunitária. A gente meio que lançou uma proposta que é para ser coletiva, cada vez mais. Ela é coletiva e vai ser mais. A gente participa da governança da instância junto com outras organizações e pessoas. A gente participa da moderação, nós criamos os termos de uso, depois de muita pesquisa, as regras a gente também organizou baseado nas experiências anteriores do Fediverso e outras instâncias. E a gente participa hoje também da parte do acolhimento. A gente tem tutoriais sobre o Fediverso e manda para as pessoas, disponibiliza. Então, a gente tem feito essa atuação na orgânica de cultivar a cultura federada. A diferença disso para uma rede como o Instagram é porque o Instagram está na mão de uma empresa bilionária, na mão de um bilionário e que o código é fechado, então, a gente não tem como participar da governança do Instagram. A gente não tem como definir as regras de funcionamento, a gente não tem como participar. ROGÉRIO: Quando Thiago fala sobre código fechado, ele toca num tema fundamental para as redes descentralizadas: o software livre e o código aberto. Esses princípios permitem que conheçamos o funcionamento das plataformas — por exemplo, como o Mastodon, que foi construído com código aberto justamente para que possa ser replicado e adaptado por qualquer pessoa. THIAGO: O código da orgânica é um código do Mastodon. A pessoa pode olhar o código, como é que funciona, ver o que está acontecendo ali, e pode entrar em contato com os moderadores, pode questionar, pode enfim, tem várias formas hoje de participar da gestão da orgânica. A ideia é criar um conselho mesmo dos moderadores. Então tem várias formas de participar da orgânica, enquanto no Instagram não tem como. Não tem como você participar de nada você só consome aquilo que está ali, e no máximo você vai gerir teus contatos. DAMNY: Esse movimento de grupos que fazem acontecer a Organica.Social, que atrai outras pessoas pro Fediverso e geram novas redes sociais e comunidades, é o que o Rafael Evangelista enxerga como a possibilidade sociotécnica das redes federadas e descentralizadas. Que não é mais do que a possibilidade de fazer uma transição desse modo de uso de redes sociais, como acontece hoje nas redes centralizadas, para um modo que aponte para a ideia de apropriação tecnológica por parte de grupos sociais organizados. ROGÉRIO: O Rafael, pra quem não sabe, é professor do Laboratório de Estudos Avançados em Jornalismo da Unicamp (Labjor) e conselheiro do Comitê Gestor da Internet (CGI), ele quem teve a ideia de criar uma instância no Mastodon pro Nudecri, núcleo do qual o Labjor faz parte. RAFAEL: O Nudecri é um núcleo de pesquisa que é uma estrutura que não existe tipicamente em outras universidades, outras universidades estão estruturadas em institutos que dão cursos de graduação e pós, etc., e nós somos um núcleo de pesquisa que porventura dá cursos de pós-graduação, mas nós somos essencialmente um núcleo de pesquisa. Esse núcleo de pesquisa que é o Nudecri, por teimosia de algumas pessoas do próprio núcleo, a gente sempre insistiu em manter um conjunto de ferramentas tecnológicas próximas a nós, a gente sempre foi refratário a ideia de, por exemplo, pegar sites jornalísticos que nós fazemos e colocar em grandes provedores, a gente sempre gostou de ter essa estrutura conosco, então temos o nosso servidor no laboratório, então a gente tem um servidor nosso no laboratório não porque a gente resolveu ter agora, a gente tem isso desde os anos 2000, e isso foi ficando e a gente foi brigando pra manter. E essa briga por manter envolve essa percepção de pesquisadores de que era importante ter controle da tecnologia, de conhecer a tecnologia. Da tecnologia ser um tema pra nós e a gente sentir que tem que estar próximo dela com a capacidade de experimentar e também porque a gente desde o começo foi muito claro de que nos cabia ter e que não nos cabia ter. DAMNY: Existe também um aspecto super importante, ter uma pessoa técnica no campo da TI, como bem destaca o Rafael. RAFAEL: Nós temos um funcionário nosso que é um TI, temos um TI integrado, isso é altamente importante pra esse processo da gente ter isso mais próximo, foi por ter essa relação próxima que eu pude pegar e falar com o técnico, poxa, será que a gente consegue experimentar? E aí preciso tirar o chapéu pro André que é o nosso TI, porque além de tudo, a gente não basta ter um TI, a gente precisa ter um TI que esteja interessado em ser parceiro nas experimentações tecnológicas. ROGÉRIO: E se você tá dentro de uma universidade, deve ter acesso ao drive do Google pelo seu e-mail institucional, por exemplo. Só que essa “parceria” é algo que acaba fragilizando a soberania e a autonomia universitária. É algo que o coletivo Rede pela Soberania Digital Brasileira apontou no manifesto entregue ao presidente Lula em setembro de 2023. A experiência que vem desenvolvendo o Nudecri é tanto um exercício de apropriação tecnológica quanto uma forma de ir contra esse movimento.  DAMNY: Nesse contexto, o Rafael convida a gente a refletir. RAFAEL: Como é que as universidades podem ser também um lugar para a produção dessa sociabilidade em torno da tecnologia para a produção dessa apropriação tecnológica num contexto de resistência à terceirização das infraestruturas tecnológicas para as Big Techs? Então, ter uma instância do Mastodon no nosso servidor é importante porque é um sinal de que um desses lugares de apropriação tecnológica podem ser os grupos de pesquisa. ROGÉRIO: E podem ser mesmo, né, Dam? Você precisa saber que o Damny e o Rafael levantaram um projeto de pesquisa sobre Fediverso nas Universidades, certo? DAMNY: Exatamente. O projeto leva por nome “O Fediverso nas Universidades Públicas: iniciativas para a construção de uma soberania digital nas universidades paulistas”. E a partir dele começamos um projeto de divulgação científica, com uma bolsa Mídia Ciência da Fapesp, graças à qual estamos aqui fazendo esse episódio hoje.  Mas o Rafael pode nos falar melhor como tem sido isso. RAFAEL: A gente tentou fazer um processo de convencimento dos pesquisadores para que eles se apropriem do Fediverso, mas esse processo foi também de tentar trazer os veículos que esses pesquisadores gerenciam para dentro do Fediverso. ROGÉRIO: E graças ao esforço de vocês o Oxigênio e a revista ComCiência estão no Mastodon, e ouvi que os outros veículos do Nudecri também estão chegando né. DAMNY: Estão chegando e seguimos no processo de atrair e de convencer eles que aqui no Fediverso esses veículos têm audiência. ROGÉRIO: Definitivamente é tudo um desafio que precisa de estratégia para convencer às pessoas a entrarem pro Fediverso porque é algo diferente dentre nossa cultura de redes sociais. Mas, argumentos não nos faltam do ponto de vista ético e político, como já mencionamos. Ainda assim parece que falta alguma coisa.  RAFAEL: mais do que trazer as pessoas para cá, para o Fediverso, eu acho que o desafio é trazer conteúdo para o Fediverso. Então, não é só que o pesquisador “x” tenha o seu perfil lá, não, é que essa produção que ele trabalha de graça para as redes comerciais, que ele trabalha de graça para o público para uma rede social que é um bem comum, uma rede social que é aberta, descentralizada, federada, etc., quer dizer, quando você tiver mais conteúdo no Fediverso as pessoas vão tender a entrar no Fediverso. Porque acho que as pessoas vão atrás não só das relações sociais que estão nas redes sociais, elas vão atrás dos conteúdos que estão nas redes sociais. DAMNY: Esse trabalho que estamos fazendo no Nudecri para divulgar e comunicar ciência no Fediverso é um esforço como o que vem fazendo, por exemplo, a Comissão Europeia, algumas organizações ambientais, os governos da França, Suíça, Holanda e Alemanha, e alguns veículos de comunicação como a BBC que decidiram também implementar seus próprios servidores em redes sociais descentralizadas como o Mastodon. Tudo isso num esforço por se desvencilhar das redes sociais nas mãos e sob completo controle das big techs. E nesse sentido eu gostaria de destacar o trabalho que está fazendo a Holanda. Lá a Cooperativa de TI da educação e pesquisa holandesa, a SURF (que em português é algo assim como “Instalações Colaborativas de Computação Universitária”) eles pararam de usar o X por causa das políticas antidemocráticas do Musk, e agora estão explorando o Mastodon como uma plataforma de código aberto para educação e pesquisa no país. O piloto foi lançado em fevereiro de 2023 e continua em andamento. Estudantes, pesquisadores, funcionários e instituições da Holanda podem experimentar o Mastodon de forma acessível.  ROGÉRIO: E uma curiosidade: A SURF foi quem criou o sistema Eduroam, sabe? O Wi-Fi público que usamos aqui na Unicamp e na maioria das universidades do país e no mundo. E tem mais, lembra que a gente falou que a base destas ações estão no código aberto e o software livre? Bom, aqui no Brasil há uma experiência que está sendo implementada em outras partes do mundo. Uma demonstração de como funciona uma política pública baseada em software livre: o Tainacan. DAMNY: A gente conversou com um dos seus criadores, o José Murilo, especialista em políticas públicas voltadas para a tecnologia digital e a internet, e coordenador de Arquitetura da Informação Museal no Instituto Brasileiro de Museus, o Ibram. Ele vai nos explicar o que é e o que faz o Tainacan. MURILO: Ele é um repositório digital. Então, basicamente, ele trata da publicação de acervos digitais, de instituições de memória, arquivos, bibliotecas e museus.  Agora, ele está pronto para publicar qualquer coleção. Se você tem uma coleção de chaveiros e você quer publicá-la na internet, você tem, e é muito fácil porque é um plugin, basta você, se você tem o WordPress já instalado rapidamente, você já começa a operar. E ele é uma ferramenta muito interessante, porque, por ser um plugin para WordPress, ele muito facilmente chupa arquivos, acervos. Por exemplo, ele chupa acervos do YouTube, ele chupa acervos do Flickr, e trazendo metadados. E, rapidamente, aquilo vira uma coleção que você está hospedando localmente, enfim. DAMNY: O Murilo tocou em dois conceitos importantes: o WordPress e plugins. Acho que vale a gente fazer um parêntese para entender melhor como funciona o Tainacan. Porque quando a gente fala em Fediverso, em instâncias, em protocolos, pode parecer que estamos falando de um mundo muito distante da experiência comum das pessoas. Mas existem pontes. Uma delas é o WordPress que é uma plataforma de publicação, originalmente para blogs, que hoje alimenta mais de 40% de todos os sites da internet. É um software livre, o que significa que qualquer pessoa pode baixar, instalar, modificar e usar sem pedir licença a ninguém. ROGÉRIO: E o que são plugins? São como aplicativos que você instala no seu site para adicionar funcionalidades novas. Quer uma loja virtual? Instala um plugin. Quer integração com redes sociais? Instala outro. Quer que seu site WordPress se torne parte do Fediverso? Existe um plugin para isso. Ele faz com que seu site passe a falar a língua do ActivityPub, aquele protocolo que a gente mencionou, e pronto. As pessoas podem seguir seu site diretamente no Mastodon e comentar seus posts, interagir como se estivessem na mesma rede. É uma forma de trazer a lógica do Fediverso para dentro de ferramentas que milhões de pessoas já usam, sem precisar aprender nada do zero. DAMNY: Então o Tainacan é esse plugin, que como bem falou o Murilo, é só adicionar ao seu site ou blog, e já faz o trabalho de criar um acervo do que você quiser. ROGÉRIO: O Tainacan é uma ferramenta maravilhosa, mas o mais importante é que é produto de uma política pública, feito em instituições públicas, numa relação entre o Ibram e as universidades federais.  MURILO: Antes do MinC (Ministério da Cultura) ser extinto, a gente tinha iniciado, a partir do Fórum da Cultura Digital Brasileira, uma política para acervos digitais, pensando numa tecnologia que pudesse atender a interoperabilidade entre arquivos, bibliotecas e museus. E nisso surgiu o Tainacan. O Tainacan ele nasce lá em 2016, 2015, na verdade, quando a gente tinha feito uns editais de digitalização de cultura afro, e a gente queria um protótipo de tecnologia que pudesse atender a essa demanda, ou seja, de difundir acervos digitais, tratando dos modelos de dados de arquivos, bibliotecas e museus. DAMNY: Tem várias pessoas envolvidas nesse projeto, que integra o Programa Acervo em Rede, uma política pública baseada em software livre. ​ Mas, uma que é central é o professor Dalton Martins, especialista em ciências da informação, quem iniciou o projeto na Universidade Federal de Goiás, e foi para o Ibram para ocupar o cargo de Coordenador-Geral de Sistemas de Informação Museal. Também, é importante, houve uma conexão muito forte com a Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo. ROGÉRIO: Vale destacar que esse desenho institucional proposto para essa cooperação Ibram-Universidade favoreceu o envolvimento de jovens museólogos, arquivistas e bibliotecários na formulação e implementação de aplicações, e na ativação de redes para o campo museal. ​E tudo isso movimentado pela cultura do software livre. Mas por que isso é importante? MURILO: Olha, o software livre é a única forma de você ter realmente uma garantia de que aquela aplicação vai continuar funcionando como ela funciona hoje, sem a interferência externa. Quando fala, por exemplo, quando a gente anuncia o Tainacan e faz a propaganda dele, é um pouco nesse sentido. Como é que você vai garantir que a informação pública que você está publicando numa plataforma proprietária vai continuar publicada com aquele mesmo tipo de acesso perenemente? Não tem como. A única forma de você garantir é com o software livre. Então, assim, eu acho muito importante que a gente tenha chegado nesse ponto no campo da cultura, com um projeto dessa natureza, mostrando o caminho. Acho que a gente não tem a visibilidade que a gente deveria ter, porque o acesso a esse software é muito fácil. Você baixar um plugin é muito fácil. Nós temos tutoriais da formação de utilização da ferramenta no YouTube, e temos uma equipe lá que está pronto para dar suporte para todo mundo. Tem muita gente fazendo o seu próprio Tainacan. A gente deu atendimento ao pessoal do Corinthians, o pessoal da Mangueira, enfim, a conversa está espalhando, e as pessoas estão vendo que publicar seus próprios acervos faz sentido no século XXI. DAMNY: Olha a magnitude deste bem público que é o Tainacan. Qualquer um pode fazer uso dele. Instituições do tamanho do Corinthians, da Mangueira, estão querendo usar ele para guardar seus acervos. E a questão não fica só aqui no Brasil. MURILO: Ah, eu quero dizer também que os museus federais do México já usam Tainacan e os museus da Colômbia também já estão utilizando Tainacan. O que está quase permitindo que a gente pense num agregador Americana. Já pensou? ROGÉRIO: Então o Tainacan tem impacto além das fronteiras brasileiras. Ele é quem permite o funcionamento de mais uma grande criação para os acervos culturais digitais: a Brasiliana Museus, um serviço de agregação de coleções museológicas desenvolvido a partir do Tainacan. MURILO: A Brasiliana, ela vem de um desafio que a gente sempre colocou quando a gente pensava a política para acervos digitais. A gente falava que a gente deveria ter como meta um agregador e uma máquina de busca nos conteúdos da cultura brasileira. Que não fosse o algoritmo do Google, ou seja, que a gente pudesse de alguma forma trabalhar essa instância da pesquisa e exploração em busca como política pública, como uma forma que o algoritmo que você pensasse para isso estivesse dando visibilidade aos conteúdos da cultura brasileira, enfim. Então a brasiliana começa um pouco assim, como um agregador museológico, de instituições museológicas, mas o grande desafio era a gente estar trabalhando com esses índices de forma a produzir uma busca de qualidade, através desses indicadores. Então foi assim, a gente iniciou com os museus do Ibram, mas na medida em que a brasiliana foi lançada, ela já abriu para adesão de outras instituições, teve entrada do Museu da Pessoa, por exemplo.  DAMNY: Com a Brasiliana, o Ibram inaugurou a iniciativa dos Museus brasileiros no Fediverso, quando ativaram o plugin ActivityPub no site WordPress da Brasiliana Museus, e publicaram o primeiro post de um domínio gov.br na web social, ou seja, no Fediverso.  MURILO: A gente parte, eu acho que é um post que eu fiz na Brasiliana, em janeiro de 2024, era isso, ou seja, a gente estava constatando que o estado das redes sociais era uma coisa calamitosa e que, a partir da política pública, a gente gostaria de explorar possibilidades, alternativas, enfim, na perspectiva dos museus. E quando eu digo isso, eu quero dizer que, por exemplo, museus utilizam intensamente Instagram, já utilizaram mais, mas usam muito o Flickr. E a gente sempre teve essa ideia de que gostaria de, pelo menos, oferecer uma alternativa, oferecer uma possibilidade que um determinado museu quisesse usar algo alternativo, que houvesse essa possibilidade. Então, foi assim. Foi a possibilidade de criar contas para os museus no Fediverso. ROGÉRIO: O projeto do Fediverso do Ibram continua crescendo. Eles criaram a instância no Mastodon, chamada social.museus.gov.br, já ha mais de um ano.  MURILO: Então, aí a gente lançou, mas a gente foi bem devagar, fazendo experimentos, a gente criou uma conta do Cadastro, que também publica os itens do Tainacan lá, a Brasiliana está publicando também os itens do Tainacan, mas isso a gente não está divulgando ainda, é tudo como experimento, aí a gente mostra para alguns parceiros, olha como é que está aí. E a gente estava com um plano, chegamos a conversar com o Comitê Gestor da Internet, de ter o domínio Museu.br, que ele não está ativado ainda, a ideia do comitê gestor era usar, tendo uma instituição como porteiro ali, e aí a gente falou, o Ibram pode ser esse porteiro, mas o que a gente queria mesmo era começar o social.museu.br, ser o primeiro, para que a partir dali a gente desse instâncias para os vários museus. O museu ganhava conta e aí, ou seja, essa instância seria para contas de museus. Isso está ainda encaminhando, hoje mesmo eu retomei essa conversa, o comitê gestor já deu ok, só está faltando a gente se organizar aqui. DAMNY: esse caso do Ibram com a criação do Tainacan e a Brasiliana Museus é mais uma evidência de como é possível construir política pública com uso do software livre, unindo esforços de diversas instituições públicas para obter um bem público e acesso à informação e à educação.  MURILO: Para você ver, quando a política pública é integrada ela vai provocando novos desenvolvimentos que são correlacionados, e como está tudo software livre a coisa vai no mesmo nível, vai na mesma linha. Então é uma coisa assim, é um ciclo virtuoso que a gente tem que realmente incentivar. ROGÉRIO: E temos que incentivar mesmo, como as experiências que comentamos nesse episódio, a Organica.Social, o Tainacan, a Brasiliana Museus, e as instâncias do Nudecri para divulgar ciência. Essas são evidências de que é possível, sim, construirmos soberania digital e autonomia através da apropriação de tecnologias de código aberto e software livre.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 365, “Time Truly Is in God's Hands,” Kim discusses the request of King Hezekiah for more time. Hezekiah was approached by the prophet Isaiah and told he was going to die and to get his affairs in order. Hezekiah did not panic but immediately turned to the Lord and poured out his pain and preference. The Lord chose to provide a miracle of more time, but also a miracle of growth in Hezekiah, who stated, “This anguish was good for me.” The Lord doesn't always answer our request for more time in the way we think He should, but we can be comforted knowing time is still in His control, and He can help us make the most of every moment given.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 20:1-11, with 2-3 as the focal verses:   2 When Hezekiah heard this, he turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 “Remember, O Lord, how I have always been faithful to you and have served you single-mindedly, always doing what pleases you.” Then he broke down and wept bitterly.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Have you ever prayed for more time?

This week's episode is about the artisanship and business of podcast editing with veteran editor Bryan Entzminger. Bryan shares how he began podcasting in 2014, inspired by John Lee Dumas' formulaic approach to Entrepreneurs On Fire and how that era of entrepreneurship-focused shows shaped early podcasting.We unpack why many podcasts have naturally “run their course” after five or six years, how the pandemic boom has cooled, and why Bryan has deliberately avoided rebuilding a client roster too concentrated on a few shows.On the technical side, Bryan walks through his journey from GarageBand to Twisted Wave and finally to Hindenburg, which he still considers the most intuitive for voice-first production and detailed technical edits. He contrasts this with transcript-based tools like Descript, explaining why automated “de-umming” often destroys pacing, breath, and emotion, and still requires hours of cleanup by a human editor.Bryan also shares favorite repair tools (like DX Revive, Supertone Clear, and iZotope), his go-to MP3 specs and -16 LUFS target, and thoughts on Zoom audio, video podcast distribution via RSS, and experiments with platforms like Fountain, TrueFans, and his own testbed show, Bad Podcast Pitches.Please sign up for the SOUNDING OFF Newsletter.

In this episode of Tank Talk, we sit down with Senior Environmental Consultant Leslie Pearson for a first-person account of the Exxon Valdez oil spill and how it reshaped spill prevention and response in Alaska and across the nation. Leslie shares her firsthand experience working on the response in 1989, from documenting shoreline impacts in Seward to navigating the early days of incident command and emergency operations. She reflects on the gaps in preparedness that were exposed, the challenges of working in remote environments, and what it was like to learn on the fly during one of the largest environmental disasters in U.S. history. The conversation explores how the spill led to the creation of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90), major revisions to SPCC and Facility Response Plan requirements, and Alaska's decision to implement some of the strictest spill prevention regulations in the country under 18 AAC 75. With decades of experience as both a regulator and consultant, Leslie explains why these regulations are more than paperwork - they are institutional memory designed to prevent history from repeating itself. This episode offers valuable perspective for environmental professionals, facility operators, and anyone working in spill prevention, preparedness, and compliance. Support the showintro/outro created with GarageBand

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 364, “Crying Out in Prayer to God,” Kim discusses the incident in 2 Chronicles 32:20 when King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah cried out to the Lord on behalf of the people of Judah. We all encounter times of extreme danger, pain, and concern, when a guttural cry is the only kind of prayer we can utter. Kim shares multiple scriptures she prays in times of crisis.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 32:1-23, with 20-21 as the focal verses:   20 Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out in prayer to God in heaven. 21 And the Lord sent an angel who destroyed the Assyrian army with all its commanders and officers. So Sennacherib was forced to return home in disgrace to his own land. And when he entered the temple of his god, some of his own sons killed him there with a sword.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   When you truly cry out to the Lord, what scriptures are your default?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. (Psalm 139:23-24) 26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will. (Romans 8:26-27) 11 For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. (Psalm 91:11) 7 Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 8 Oh, give me back my joy again; you have broken me—now let me rejoice. 9 Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me….12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you….17 The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. (Psalm 51:7-10, 12, 17) 14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14) 7 So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7) 28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

The Duck! City was smokin' the day after the State of the Union crashed and burned, reaching a high of 72 degrees — which was 18 degrees above average. It's nice to be above average in something. But still, damn. In any event, the roses are budding and so is everything else. The primates who call this desert home may view with alarm the federal knuckles being dragged into the Colorado River Compact, which remains an insoluable dilemma to its signatories and will join the long list of issues about which His Excremency King Piggy the Sticky-Fingered knows nothing and cares even less. And Your Humble Narrator, who ordinarily yearns to toddle off to someplace toasty about this time of year, finds himself in the awkward position of grumbling about beautiful weather. At home.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 363, “Idols I Need to Smash,” Kim discusses how when someone meets with the Lord, they cannot remain the same. In today's primary text, the people of Judah and some from Israel had celebrated the Passover for the first time in their lifetimes. Immediately, they smashed multiple different idols. When the prophet Isaiah saw the Lord, he immediately saw how sinful he and the people were, and the Lord graciously forgave and then commissioned him to speak on His behalf. We can't meet with the Lord and leave unchanged.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 31:1-21, with 1 as the focal verse:   1 When the festival ended, the Israelites who attended went to all the towns of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh, and they smashed all the sacred pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and removed the pagan shrines and altars. After this, the Israelites returned to their own towns and homes.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Prayerfully identify any idols you need to smash immediately.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   Isaiah 6:1-8 EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus   I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings (1 & 2 Chronicles) PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

When I listened to the recording, I went back to sit with my mother in nature in the village. The rhythm was beating her favourite song (Rewşenê) alongside '"Tu Paine", and it was reciting memories that will not be remembered unless passing through a genocide. It is inspiring how 14,000 kilometres of distance can vibrate the same feelings that I had in my childhood. It is interesting how a sound can describe nature, culture, the spiritual, and a divine power that music has and how it travels with the wind to gather with other communities and add their cultural sounds. The song Rewşen has been dug into my memory and it connects me to my land whenever I hear something similar. The song is a traditional song about love stories where lovers need to be married at the end. For this recording, I played the oldest instrument among Yazidi people called Tembûr. It is a collection of wood, strings, and animal veins alongside human ability to bring sound to it. Tembûr is used in every house among the Yazidi community and is accompanied with singers to preserve thousands of stories and oral traditions. I used a GarageBand program and a simple mic to record the sound of Tembûr and my voice. I sang my mother's favourite song as an act to reveal what I felt while listening to the song. I added some notes to reveal the pain of the memory and identities who are under danger all the time. These memories stole me to them and let me relax in nature again.I did some research about Malampa's culture and environment, the origins of people who are close to nature and oceans, and some research about Fiji too which is near to Vanuatu and I may plan for a visit to discover the culture and music instruments there. "Tu Paine": song for guitar reimagined by Fehedê Herbo.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

This recording was originally broadcast in 1963, in the first year of Taiwan's first terrestrial TV station, the Taiwan Broadcasting Company. "Look me in the eye" takes a short sequence of a mountain folk song sung by a women's chorus, from the original 30-minute recording. I layered sound in GarageBand, selecting and editing archival material, contemporary field recordings, overheard dialogue and digital loops, to build aural glimpses of cultural, temporal, and geographic landscapes. By positioning the mountain folk song in dialogue with a recording of a metro train in a Tokyo tunnel, I form a sonic relationship between the mountain above, the underground below, and the distant flatland of my Newhaven studio from which the piece is composed.The folk song functions as both voice and landscape, carrying the acoustic imprint of elevation and openness (shaped by geography rather than infrastructure), of a community embedded in place, where sound travels across valley and mountain, retaining its sense of distance and air, pointing toward cultural memory rooted in the land. In contrast, the Tokyo metro recording introduces a dense, enclosed soundscape. The arrival and departure of a train, with its mechanical rhythm and reverberant tunnel, defines movement, efficiency, and compression. This sound carries additional historical weight: Japan occupied Taiwan from 1895 until the end of the Second World War, leaving lasting marks on its infrastructure, education, and cultural systems. The presence of contemporary Japanese urban sound alongside Taiwanese traditional song resonates not only as a meeting of modern and pre-modern space, but as an echo of shared, asymmetrical history.As sound worlds overlap, they form a layered sonic landscape. The intermittent warmth and discomfort of a questioning voice gets lost beneath the noise of a train, receding and submerged beneath the city. This shifting balance reflects a complex negotiation between tradition, modernisation, and historical memory, echoing the cultural tensions explored by post-war experimental art movements and ideas of Modernism.Yet, a third landscape underlies "Look me in the eye": the lands of the Western world, from which I compose and listen. Positioned beyond both mountain and subway, I observe, engaging with unfamiliar environments through recordings, digital tools, and historical distance. This perspective acknowledges the role of translation, power, and interpretation."Look me in the eye" presents landscape as something heard rather than seen. By moving between mountain, underground, and flatland perspectives, the piece reflects on how sound carries history, place, and identity across time, distance, and cultural boundaries. The folk song becomes less a fixed artifact and more a mutable terrain, shaped by time, technology, and reinterpretation.Regional music of the Republic of China (Taiwan) reimagined by Rachael Adams.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

I listened to the piece and researched any historical links between Plymouth, my home town and Sarawak, were the original recording by Leslie Bennet was made. It turns out there were three white "Rajahs" of Sarawak and they were members of the Brooke dynasty: James Brooke, who founded the rule in 1841; his nephew Charles Brooke, who succeeded him; and Charles' son, Charles Vyner Brooke. Although not from Plymouth, all three of the “Rajahs of Sarawak” are buried in the small churchyard of St Leonard's at Sheepstor on Dartmoor, just outside of Plymouth. James Brooke did at one time set sail from Plymouth in 1838, arriving at Sarawak the following year.The name for Sarawak means the land of the hornbill. This piece is an ode to this journey. I listened to the recording of the Sapeh and learnt the rough pentatonic scale used. I isolated a few segments and tried them on guitar to get the ideas flowing. The recording of the Sapeh is sampled and utilise throughout the piece. At times I have used it to double the bass line or to give a new melody line or rhythm.The main “nautical” melody is built upon a four bar segment of the original recording. The clicks and resonance of the instrument are also used to give some ambience and texture. I have used acoustic guitars, hand drums, mandolin, electric guitars, sequenced midi instruments and drums using GarageBand. I also used open source recordings of seagulls in Plymouth and Hornbills in Sarawak.Sapeh (three-stringed boat lute) reimagined by Daniel Chudley - Le Corre.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

With having a drop taken and/or a mind wandering being common along both branches of the family tree it behooves a fella from time to time to test-drive what remains of his wits, if any. It struck me recently that for perfectly sound (har de har har) reasons I hadn't done an episode of Radio Free Dogpatch since February 2025. But times pass and things change and people clearly aren't getting any smarter, especially me. So here we are so, dusting off what few of the mad skills I possessed only in theory not so very long ago and taking them for a spin around the old podcasting studio to see what falls off. For openers, the 24-inch LG display that now supplements the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro in my main office is no longer attached to the MacBook Pro in the studio, which is 10 years older and an inch smaller, displaywise, and I cannot recommend such a tiny stage for audio theater as senescence staggers forward, trying to remember where it left its spectacles (atop its head). Auphonic is no longer a strictly free app, which failed to astonish me in this, the New Gilded Age, so creator and audience must deal with what they call a "Jingle" fore and aft. Jingle my bollocks, boys ... I'll be looking for some other way to give me chin music a tuneup before I next set it out on its street corner to busk for nothing. Finally, Libsyn has gotten a makeover as well, but if you're reading this you can be sure that I managed to negotiate their tricksy little maze. An old ratoncito can still cut the cheese. Find the cheese! I meant find the cheese! Where the hell are my glasses? Oh ... never mind. Could this be the start of something big? Probably not. Mostly I wanted to see if I could still get 'er done. Also, I was bored. Giving the old brain-box a wee scrape and a splash of paint is a fine way to stay out of the wind, which is full of allergens and other evil tidings. • Technical notes: RFD uses the Ethos mic from Earthworks Audio; Audio-Technica ATH-M50X headphones; Zoom H5 Handy Recorder; Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack; Apple's GarageBand, and Auphonic for a wash and brushup. Sound byte from Mike Judge's "Idiocracy" lifted from YouTube. Booing crowd, kicked-in door, and Celtic tune from Freesound. "Out of Step," which you've heard here before, comes from Audio Hero via Zapsplat. Special guest appearance from Miss Mia Sopaipilla, who despite a screechy meow is healthy as a horse as she approaches her 19th (!) birthday.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 362, “Please Give Us One Heart to Obey,” Kim discusses the latest invitation King Hezekiah sent out to call, not only the people of the Southern Kingdom, but also anyone left in the Northern Kingdom to come home and worship the Lord. Many laughed at the invitation, but some humbled themselves and came. For those who answered the invitation, the Lord gave “them all one heart to obey” their leaders, who were obeying the Lord. How would our world be changed today if Christ-followers had one heart to obey the Lord?   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 30:1-27, with 12 as the focal verse:   12 At the same time, God's hand was on the people in the land of Judah, giving them all one heart to obey the orders of the king and his officials, who were following the word of the Lord.      WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Please pray with me for you and all in your circle to have one heart to obey the Lord.   EDITOR'S NOTE:   Due to multiple technical difficulties, Kim had to perform multiple edits on the recorded material.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 361, “Restored to Service,” Kim discusses the dedication of the Temple as described in 2 Chronicles 7 and the path that led to the rededication in 2 Chronicles 29. God knew the people would not stay 100% on fire for him and he gave Solomon a restoration plan from the beginning: 14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land (2 Chronicles 7:14). About 250 years later, spiritual darkness has invaded the land and King Hezekiah leads the people in the restoration process, including purifying and rededicating the temple.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 29:18-36, with 28-29 and 35b-36 as the focal verses:   28 The entire assembly worshiped the Lord as the singers sang and the trumpets blew, until all the burnt offerings were finished. 29 Then the king and everyone with him bowed down in worship.    So the Temple of the Lord was restored to service. 36 And Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because of what God had done for the people, for everything had been accomplished so quickly.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   For Christ-followers, the “temple of the Holy Spirit” is contained within our bodies. Is there anything you need to do today to “restore” your body to wholehearted service for the Lord?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   2 Chronicles 7:1-22 - 12 Then one night the Lord appeared to Solomon and said, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this Temple as the place for making sacrifices. 13 At times I might shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or command grasshoppers to devour your crops, or send plagues among you. 14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 15 My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place. 16 For I have chosen this Temple and set it apart to be holy—a place where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart. 19 Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 360, “When You Are Really Serious about Doing Right,” Kim discusses the measures you may want to take if you want to commit to the Lord stick. King Hezekiah walked into an absolute mess, and he set out to right the proverbial ship. He wanted to renew the people side of the covenant with the Lord. Kim also looks at when Joshua challenged the Israelites' commitment to the Lord and renewed their commitment to the Lord. If they had truly followed through on those commitments from generation to generation, Hezekiah would not have inherited the mess he did.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 29:10-17 with 10 as the focal verse:   10 But now I will make a covenant with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger will turn away from us.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Might today be the day you recommit one or more areas of your life to the Lord?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   Joshua 24 EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus     I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

2026 Show Notes Adendum: This was the very first "official episode" of Ch 2 - approx 9 months after Hugues and I's "fun one-off", which at the time had no strings attached! PRODUCTION CAVEATS:  Just like the 2019 one-off, this was recorded using an M-Audio MobilePre XLR-to-USB audio interface and AudioTechnica AT2020 condenser mic, and was recorded down in a very echoey basement room. Also, I hadn't [yet] started editing out the "ums" yet. However, unlike the 2019 one-off, I had moved onto Linux by this point, so it was produced in a mix of Audacity and Ardour, rather than in GarageBand and was produced on a 2017 Dell Latitude 7480 laptop (docked to an external monitor, KBM, and sound system) rather than on a 2014 Mac Mini. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------Original 2020 Show Notes------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's the Dawning of a new Era!
