Today we're “repeating” special guest. We enjoyed so much talking to Wenfei Xu anbout mobile phone data in our last episode (Episode 25: What we talk about when we talk about mobile phone data), that we decided to bring her on board again. But there's a twist: this time, we're returning to our “A day in the life of…” series, where we explore the behind-the-scenes view of what it is like to be a GLaD researcher.    Wenfei i Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara. An urban planner by training, Wenfei has worked a lot with mobile phone data, but also has a super interesting story to how she arrived at that research interest. Come the fancy data, stay for engaging conversation about hopping between academia and industry, traversing disciplines, and… an Exhibitions entry in your CV.

On October 9, 1975, CBC listeners across the country heard David Suzuki introduce the very first episode of Quirks & Quarks. 50 years and thousands of interviews later, Quirks is still going strong, bringing wonders from the world of science to listeners, old and new.On October 7, 2025 we celebrated with an anniversary show in front of a live audience at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario. We had guests from a range of scientific disciplines looking at what we've learned in the last 50 years, and hazarding some risky predictions about what the next half century could hold. Our panelists were:Evan Fraser, Director of Arrell Food Institute and Professor of Geography at the University of Guelph, co-chair of the Canadian Food Policy Advisory Council, a fellow of the Pierre Elliot Trudeau foundation, and a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.Katie Mack, Hawking Chair in Cosmology and Science Communication at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.Luke Stark, Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Information & Media Studies at Western University in London, Ontario, and a Canadian Institute for Advanced Research Azrieli Global Scholar with the Future Flourishing Program.Laura Tozer, Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Toronto and director of the Climate Policy & Action Lab at the Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences at the University of Toronto Scarborough.Ana Luisa Trejos, a professor in the Department Electrical and Computer Engineering and the School of Biomedical Engineering and Canada Research chair in wearable mechatronics at Western University in London, Ontario.Yvonne Bombard, professor at the University of Toronto and scientist and Canada Research Chair at St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto, where she directs the Genomics Health Services Research Program.

While the nation's cultural curators cluster in a few wealthy zip codes, the voters who decide its elections remain rooted in towns where family, church, and work still bind community together. The result is a political and media class increasingly alien to the country it claims to represent, a dynamic cast in stark relief by the recent memorial for Charlie Kirk.Salena Zito, author of Butler and political reporter for the Washington Examiner, joins Drew to explain how rootedness, not ideology, drives much of American politics. They discuss the divide between “placed” and “placeless” citizens and why that distinction is fundamental to understanding the rise of President Trump, before focusing on how increasing energy demands from AI data centers could revitalize jobs for “placed” Americans.Further Reading:Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland, by Salena Zito“Down In a Pennsylvania Mine, I Saw Coal's Future,” by Salena Zito, Washington Post“New Survey Upends Conventional Wisdom About the American Dream,” American Compass

Welcome back to the EUCVC Summit Talks, where we bring you candid conversations with Europe's leading founders, corporate leaders, and investors shaping the future of venture collaboration.In this episode, Samuli Sirén, Managing Partner at Redstone, joins Andreas Munk Holm to explore how data-driven deal sourcing is reshaping venture capital. Redstone has spent nearly a decade building Sophia, its proprietary analytics platform, to track trends, identify group dynamics, and map startup opportunities long before they show up on mainstream radars.From the promise and limits of AI in scouting to the common mistakes corporates make in startup sourcing, Samuli pulls back the curtain on what works, what doesn't, and how data can give investors an edge without replacing human judgment.

Friso Berghuis, director of listed investments at Dutch pension fund investment manager Bouwinvest, joined the REIT Report podcast to discuss the integration of REITs and listed real estate into Bouwinvest's global investment strategy.Bouwinvest has executed on a fully integrated public and private real estate strategy since 2012. Berghuis noted that including listed real estate ensures the opportunity to invest in specific compelling geographic markets and sectors such as health care, self-storage, and data centers.“Essentially, investing in listed real estate means you are also adding high quality diversified portfolios to the mix. And these portfolios are generally managed by seasoned management teams,” Berghuis said.Other reasons to choose global listed real estate include the ability to move quickly to invest in multiple sectors and markets, and the fact that listed and unlisted investments generally do not move in sync, he noted. 

Why did Jonah run from God's call—and what does that reveal about our own hearts?In this episode of Live Like It's True, Erika Van Haitsma joins me to unpack the irony and intensity of Jonah's story, exposing his deep resentment toward the Ninevites and resistance to God's mercy. Together, we explore how this familiar narrative challenges us to confront our own grudges and ask whether we truly want God to be gracious—to everyone.Judgy SeriesGuest: Erika Van HaitsmaBible Passage: Jonah's Disobedience - Jonah 1 (NASB)Get your Free Resource: 20 Page WorkbookRecommended Resources: Check out Erika's book, "Faith Walk; 50 Daily Devotionals" on Shannon's Amazon Storefront HEREJesus's Proof that We'll Get New Bodies in Heaven - Erika's Other Episode on Live Like It's TrueAstonishing Faith is Like a Puppy, Begging for a Crumb - Erika's Previous Episode on Live Like It's TrueThe Context and Color of the Bible PodcastResound Media Network: www.ResoundMedia.ccMusic: Cade PopkinErika is married to Bryan and together they have five children, whom she homeschools.

Cash PT Trends 2025: What We Learned in Dallas + The New Industry Report In this episode, Doc Danny Matta and Yves Gege unpack takeaways from their Dallas live event and preview PT Biz's new Cash PT Industry Report. They cover what's working now across pure cash, hybrid, and out-of-network models; why continuity and small-group training are surging; and how the talent market is shifting as more solo owners choose to join established cash clinics. Quick Ask Help us move toward the mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to our profession: share this episode with a clinician friend or post it to your IG stories and tag Danny—he'll reshare it. Episode Summary From beginners to builders: PT Biz events now draw ~200 owners focused on scaling, not just getting started. No single “right” model: Cash-only, hybrid, out-of-network, Medicare-focused, and gym-like setups can all work—business principles drive success. Continuity is up: Many clinics now get 20–40%+ of monthly visits from recurring performance/wellness work—stabilizing revenue. Small-group training wins: Huge LTV and stick rate; still underused (only ~¼ of clinics are doing it). Talent trend: More solo owners are approaching larger cash clinics for roles with culture, mentorship, and intrapreneurship tracks. Reality check on pay: Compensation must tie to the revenue a provider can generate; entitlement ≠ value creation. Macro shift: Rising deductibles & wellness demand push all clinics to add self-pay services—cash PT is no longer fringe. Live Event Takeaways Owner mindset: Conversations have matured—hiring, leadership, profitability, systems, and scaling to $100k–$200k/month per site. Market fit varies: Geography, payer mix, and demographics dictate whether to stay pure cash, add OON, or blend Medicare. Community compounding: Member-to-member playbooks (what worked, what didn't) are often the most valuable part of events. The Industry Report: What to Watch Continuity growth: Bigger clinics show higher % of recurring visits, needing fewer new evals to fill schedules. Underutilized small groups: High demand among “post-injury but not gym-ready” clients; strong margins and retention. Diversified offers: Performance, strength, and longevity programs de-risk revenue and increase lifetime value. Small-Group Training: Why It Works Checks the boxes: Strength, mobility, accountability, and community—with clinicians nearby if issues arise. Cost-effective for clients: Often similar to PT weekly or personal training—but with better adherence and social glue. Team friendly: Therapists enjoy variety and fewer notes; can be delivered by PTs or trained coaches under clinical oversight. Career Pathways & The “Unemployable” Test Two good options: Go all-in on ownership or join a high-performing cash clinic as an intrapreneur (clinic director, partner track). Value first, then ask: Promotions/partnerships follow demonstrated impact, not tenure. Reputation compounds. Pro Tips You Can Use This Month Launch continuity now: Create 1–2 simple monthly options (e.g., strength + mobility; return-to-sport). Pilot a small group: 4–8 clients, 2x/week, 8 weeks. Price for value, track retention, collect testimonials. Map your model: List your market realities (Medicare, Tricare, local payer rates, boomer density) before choosing cash/hybrid. Hire from the doers: Prioritize applicants who've tried solo—“batteries included,” better respect for business realities. Benchmark & iterate: Compare your prices, packages, and continuity % to the industry report; fix one lever each month. Notable Quotes “There isn't one right model—principles win. Leads in, lifetime value up, recruit well, lead well.” “Continuity compacts the snowball. When 30–40% of your visits are recurring, everything gets easier.” “If you want stability without owning every problem, be an intrapreneur—create value, then opportunities chase you.” Action Items Download the Cash PT Industry Report and benchmark your prices, packages, and continuity %. Sketch a small-group pilot (who it's for, schedule, price, progression) and pre-sell 6–8 spots. Define two continuity offers with clear outcomes and a simple monthly cadence. Write a one-page model map for your area (payers, demographics, demand) and choose cash-only vs hybrid accordingly. Programs Mentioned Clinical Rainmaker: Systems to get you full-time in your clinic. Mastermind: Scale space, team, and operations. PT Biz Part-Time to Full-Time 5-Day Challenge (Free): Expenses, visit targets, pricing, 3 paths to go full-time, and a one-page plan.

Gyles Beckford reviews Prisoners of Geography: 10-Year Anniversary Edition by Tim Marshall.

Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre el capítulo 6 del libro The Oxford Handbook of the Protestant Reformations, titulado “Geographies of the Protestant Reformation” por Graeme Murdock. Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-the-protestant-reformations-9780199646920?cc=gb&lang=en& . ¿Se puede mapear la fe? Este episodio descubre por qué los mapas clásicos de la Reforma engañan: colorean estados, pero borran minorías, ambivalencias y enclaves donde católicos y protestantes compartieron calles, fiestas y fronteras porosas. Seguimos el latido real del cambio: ciudades-imán, ríos y puertos que llevaron ideas, libros y pastores; lenguas que conectaron Wittenberg con el Báltico y Ginebra con el Atlántico; y una Europa que nunca fue un tablero de casillas fijas, sino un mosaico móvil de lealtades en disputa. Miramos el norte luterano, el arco reformado suizo, Polonia-Lituania y Transilvania multiconfesional; repasamos por qué las murallas de una ciudad o un decreto regio rara vez bastaron para rehacer conciencias; y cómo la práctica cotidiana —viajar el domingo para oír culto, negociar ayunos, cruzar límites parroquiales— dibujó “fronteras” más reales que las políticas. Al final, proponemos otra cartografía: menos bloques, más caminos; menos colores planos, más superposiciones. Así se entiende la Europa que aprendió a vivir, discutir y rezar a través de líneas difusas.

Ice animates the look and feel of climate change. It is melting faster than ever before, causing social upheaval among northern coastal communities and disrupting a more southern, temperate world as sea levels rise. Economic, academic, and activist stakeholders are increasingly focused on the unsettling potential of ice as they plan for a future shaped by rapid transformation.  Yet, in Ice Geographies: The Colonial Politics of Race and Indigeneity in the Arctic (Duke UP, 2025), Jen Rose Smith demonstrates that ice has always been at the center of making sense of the world. Ice as homeland is often at the heart of Arctic and sub-Arctic ontologies, cosmologies, and Native politics. Reflections on ice have also long been a constitutive element of Western political thought, but it often privileges a pristine or empty “nature” stripped of power relations.  Smith centers ice to study race and indigeneity by investigating ice relations as sites and sources of analysis that are bound up with colonial and racial formations as well as ice geographies beyond those formations. Smith asks, How is ice a racialized geography and imaginary, and how does it also exceed those frameworks? Works mentioned in the episode: Darcie Bernhardt, an Inuvialuk/Gwichin artist from Tuktuyaaqtuuq whose work is on the cover of Jen Rose Smith's book, Ice Geographies. “The Arctic is Not White” by asinnajaq in Inuit Art Quarterly, 35 (4), Winter 2022.

Ice animates the look and feel of climate change. It is melting faster than ever before, causing social upheaval among northern coastal communities and disrupting a more southern, temperate world as sea levels rise. Economic, academic, and activist stakeholders are increasingly focused on the unsettling potential of ice as they plan for a future shaped by rapid transformation.  Yet, in Ice Geographies: The Colonial Politics of Race and Indigeneity in the Arctic (Duke UP, 2025), Jen Rose Smith demonstrates that ice has always been at the center of making sense of the world. Ice as homeland is often at the heart of Arctic and sub-Arctic ontologies, cosmologies, and Native politics. Reflections on ice have also long been a constitutive element of Western political thought, but it often privileges a pristine or empty “nature” stripped of power relations.  Smith centers ice to study race and indigeneity by investigating ice relations as sites and sources of analysis that are bound up with colonial and racial formations as well as ice geographies beyond those formations. Smith asks, How is ice a racialized geography and imaginary, and how does it also exceed those frameworks? Works mentioned in the episode: Darcie Bernhardt, an Inuvialuk/Gwichin artist from Tuktuyaaqtuuq whose work is on the cover of Jen Rose Smith's book, Ice Geographies. “The Arctic is Not White” by asinnajaq in Inuit Art Quarterly, 35 (4), Winter 2022.

It's cultural meme that teenagers in New York and Seoul will have more in common with each other than with their parents. Has where we come from been downgraded as an influence on what we like, or is there still what Thierry Mayer of Sciences Po and CEPR calls “gravity in tastes”?  His research focuses on a very important aspect of this question: regional French food. Is there still a France of butter, and a France of olive oil? And, if there is, can we draw it on a map, or is this now a cultural and social divide, rather than a regional one?

This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today our guest is Amber Smith.Amber is a femme-queer AMGA Certified Rock Guide with over a decade of experience. Most summers you'll find her at the Yosemite Mountaineering School, climbing grandiose granite walls with her guests. She is passionate about playful, trauma-aware, and embodiment-focused instruction, and she views climbing as an opportunity for powerful personal transformation. If you go climbing with her, she will encourage you to craft a positive affirmation to hone your power.Before landing in Yosemite, she guided throughout the western United States. She has led glacier mountaineering and alpine rock objectives in Washington's North Cascades, ski descents in Wyoming's Grand Tetons, sandstone crack climbs in Utah's deserts, and girls' climate science research expeditions on Alaska's glaciers. In 2016, Amber earned a degree in Geography and wrote her undergraduate thesis on what she called “Feminist Outdoor Leadership: A Guide to Facilitation Strategies for Inclusion and Participant Empowerment in Outdoor Adventure.”I enjoyed my conversations with Amber. Her thoughtfulness was evident when listening to her reflections on her life journeys. She is also inquisitive and not shy about experimenting with new ideas. She is keen on exploring her inner voices to facilitate her own growth and be tuned to others' needs.

And its number one, keep yourself and your guests safe. If that's all I do at the end of the day, nobody had a great time, but at least we were safe, then that was a successful day.I'd say that's the whole journey of this industry for me is building the confidence in my voice, trusting myself and figuring out how to be myself in these spaces while also still sort of meeting some of the expectations of what your employers and your clients may want from you.I'm definitely not [the best climbers in the world]. But what I am good at is supporting people in their climbing goals. And that's what the job is actually about..I think that's really rad that I'm an ebike commuter to my rock guiding job.I think we get a lot of burnout when we're not being intellectually stimulated.I'm basically not like ingraining negative association with the experience. I'm keeping my association with the process positive. and by having these positive associations, then I want to keep doing itOne of the most important attributes of a guide is that you need to be intuitive with your guests. It's very customer service type job. And we need to be intuitively listening to what they need all day.... MoreEP 52 – Amber Smith – AffirMATIONs – Female Guides Requested Podcast

In this episode, we are joined by friend of the show and scholar, Rasul Mowatt, to challenge the myth that the Ku Klux Klan began in Indiana, exploring the 1st wave of the Ku Klux Klan, known then as the “KuKlux.” We analyse the post-Civil War context that led to the rise of white supremacist groups, vigilantism, and the Klan's origins, spread, and eventual decline. We also delve into the role of other white supremacist groups in picking up the Klan's mantle, such as the Red Shirts. This is a part of a series covering each historical wave of the Klan. Join us as we uncover the true history of the Klan and its enduring impact.   Rasul A. Mowatt is a son of Chicago and a subject of empire, while dwelling within notions of statelessness, settler colonial mentality, and anti-capitalism. Rasul also functions in the State as a Department Head in the College of Natural Resources, as an Interim Department Head in the Division of Academic and Student Affairs, and as an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at North Carolina State University.

"Every community has different values, and every community should have different choices. And that's why local food is so important so that local communities and local farmers can decide what's most important to them and how they want to connect the people who grow our food with the people who are seeking nourishment." —Andy Naja-Riese "The health of our Farmers Market is really dependent upon the health of our farmers." —Tanner Keys   Wonder why local food sometimes costs more, or if it's really worth the effort to shop there?

He woke up one morning in December '23 and was tired of dating crazy women. Joe wanted to do something fun, so why not stand-up comedy?

On this week's episode of Ritter on Real Estate, Kent Ritter interviews Lon Welsh. They unpack Lon's “four pillars of diversification” framework—asset class, geography, strategy, and sponsor—digging into why he favors multifamily for stability, mid-size industrial for supply–demand gaps, and budget extended-stay hospitality for resilient demand. Lon explains blending value-add (for depreciation and cash flow) with ground-up development, and why property management selection is the single biggest driver of outcomes. The conversation also covers geographic risk (policy shifts, disasters) and why a Midwest/Sunbelt mix can smooth the ride for passive investors. Where to find Lon:IrontonCapital.comIrontonCapital.com/linkedinIrontonCapital.com/facebookIrontonCapital.com/youtube Key TakeawaysThe four pillars of diversification: asset class, geography, strategy, and sponsor—diversify across all four to reduce correlation risk. Asset picks he likes now: multifamily for low volatility, mid-size multi-tenant industrial for scarcity, and budget extended-stay hotels for durable, non-discretionary demand. Geography matters twice: politics (landlord–tenant laws) and physical risk (storms, fires) argue for spreading exposure across markets. Strategy blend: prioritize value-add for immediate depreciation/pass-through tax benefits, pair with targeted development where shovel-ready and contingency-smart. Sponsor & PM are critical: assess track record by product type/market, insist on contingency by line item, and scrutinize the property manager's detection/solution chops. Books MentionedFree book on passive real estate investing (Ironton Capital): https://irontoncapital.com/ritterWall Street Journal: https://www.wsj.comCheck us out on socials: Instagram LinkedIn Youtube https://hudsoninvesting.com/ Production by Outlier Audio

In this episode of Transformative Principal, Jethro Jones welcomes three inspiring guests to discuss the origins and impact of the Test Kitchen Education Foundation in Fort Madison, Iowa. Brent Zirkel shares how the foundation was created to blend culinary arts with education, providing students with essential life and academic skills. Kumar Withanage, a renowned chef and passionate educator, recounts his journey from Sri Lanka to the U.S. and his motivation to give back to the community through after-school programs that teach both cooking and life lessons. Julian Pope, a former student and participant, describes how the Test Kitchen became a turning point in his life, offering mentorship, practical skills, and opportunities that helped him pursue higher education. The conversation highlights the power of mentorship, the importance of community, and the value of providing safe, supportive spaces for students to grow.How Test Kitchen Education Foundation came to be. How Julien got involved through the robotics program. Cooking provides instant feedback.The power of mentorship.ACT - Appreciate, Clean up after yourself, Thank everyone.Mentorship and agreements or commitmentsAbout Kumar WickramasinghaKumar Wickramasingha is best known in southeast Iowa for his culinary expertise and his deep commitment to educational equity. A native of Sri Lanka, Kumar immigrated to the United States in 1986, where he was welcomed by George and Jean Alton—two Fort Madison educators who gave him a home and the encouragement to pursue higher education. Inspired by their generosity and belief in the power of education, Kumar fulfilled his American dream by becoming a successful restaurateur and later a healthcare executive.Kumar's most enduring legacy, however, may be his work in education reform. As the founder of the Test Kitchen Education Foundation (TKEF), he created the Elliott Test Kitchen (ETK)—a one-of-a-kind afterschool program that used food and mentorship to bring academic support to students in rural Iowa. With a blend of culinary creativity and educational accountability, the program helped countless students from all backgrounds succeed in school, build life skills, and discover their potential.Today, Kumar is collaborating with former ETK student Julien Pope on a forthcoming book that tells the story of the Test Kitchen's origins, challenges, and powerful impact. The book not only highlights the life-changing effects of academic support and mentorship, but also draws a powerful connection between the decline of quality education in rural communities and the rise of political polarization in America. Through real stories and hard truths, the project aims to spark a national conversation—and offer a roadmap for healing both systems.Kumar continues to live in Fort Madison and remains passionate about giving back to the community that once lifted him up. His work is a testament to the idea that the best way to thank a community is to build something lasting within it.About Julien PopeJulien Pope is a ghostwriter and freelance developmental editor currently working in Fort Madison, Iowa. As a high schooler, his life was positively impacted by the Elliott Test Kitchen, and, using the resources provided to him by the ETK, he successfully enrolled at the University of Iowa as an English and Creative Writing Major. Recently graduated, he has returned to Fort Madison to work on a series of writing projects, one of which being the memoir of Kumar Wickramasingha and the story of the Elliott Test Kitchen. As the author of this memoir, Julien will use both personal narrative and in-depth research to create a compelling argument for the solution to rural America's educational decline - namely, that only through dedicated, passionate community involvement and cultural appreciation will education be able to flourish and heal the rifts in our fracturing society. About Brent ZirkelBrent Zirkel is currently the Elementary Principal at Mary Welsh Elementary in Williamsburg, Iowa, a school of about 650 students.  He also serves as the district ELL Director, Migratory Education Program Director, and Preschool Program Director. Brent has previously served as the Associate Principal at Williamsburg Jr/Sr. High School (7-12) and Fort Madison Middle School (4-8).  Brent taught Spanish at Fort Madison High School for 12 years where he was honored for 5 consecutive years with the Terry Branstad Inspiring Teacher Award for serving as a motivational force to some of Iowa's top-performing high school students. He has a BA in Geography and Spanish Education, an MS in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in Bilingual Education (ELL), and is certified as a Pre-K-12 Administrator and Special Education Supervisor.Brent is also an educational consultant for the Test Kitchen Educational Foundation: a non-profit organization that creates innovative after-school programming for rural communities in Iowa by getting youth excited about learning through engagement in academics, culinary arts, and valuable life skills.  Brent is married to Michelle, a K-6 Media Teacher, and has two children, Brevin (16) and Bram (10). Brent enjoys spending time with his family. He is an avid fan of Survivor, the TV show, and is a true believer in progress through struggle. Brent sees education as the greatest opportunity to build a better tomorrow by positively impacting the lives of his students today. LinkedLeaders: You need support.

This week's guest taught me truly the importance of always providing an exceptional customer experience and having that front in mind all the time. She studied History and Geography prior to beginning her career as a Research Manager. She later went on to expand her skills in Business Development, relationship selling, consulting, as well as communications research and satisfaction. This week's guest also spend almost 13 years at Vision Critical, where she held roles in business development, account management and enablement, working her way up to Sr Director of Product Marketing where she continued to shine a spotlight on customer stories. Following Vision Critical, she went to Dooly, where I was so fortunate to work hand and hand with her and the Customer Success team to drive adoption, renewals, and expansion. Learning from a leader like her truly taught me the importance of Cross-Functional collaboration, a skill that I now consider one of my core strengths. Now, she continues to help customers lay a strong foundation to successfully scale startups. Without further ado, I couldn't be more excited to introduce one of my career mentors - Ellie Hutton.

Tonight, we'll read from “Lessons in Chalk Modeling, the New Method of Map Drawing” written by Ida Cassa Heffron and published in 1900. At the turn of the twentieth century, education was undergoing rapid changes. Teachers sought creative ways to engage students in subjects that were often taught by rote memorization. Geography, in particular, was considered a cornerstone of a well-rounded education, yet it was sometimes reduced to reciting capitals and drawing borders. Heffron's work introduced a tactile and visual method known as “chalk modeling,” in which teachers could draw raised relief maps directly on the blackboard to show mountains, rivers, and valleys in a more dynamic way. Chalk modeling made classrooms more interactive, helping students imagine landscapes and physical features in three dimensions rather than flat diagrams. It reflected the broader educational trend toward “learning by doing,” a movement championed by reformers such as John Dewey. This method not only made lessons more engaging but also encouraged observation and critical thinking—skills at the heart of geography itself. By situating geography in this more hands-on practice, Heffron's book connected everyday teaching to a field that bridges human culture and natural science. Her ideas gave teachers a practical toolkit to make the world vivid on the classroom chalkboard, turning simple white lines into whole continents of imagination. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

What makes certain places feel haunted, cursed, or spiritually charged - and is the concept of territorial spirits actually biblical? Dr. Marta Escarcega has spent 45 years investigating the connection between geography and supernatural phenomena while examining what Scripture teaches about principalities, powers, and spiritual warfare over land. She discusses locations where people consistently go missing, areas that trigger unexplained anxiety in travelers, and regions avoided by indigenous peoples for spiritual reasons. Drawing from experiences across reservations, ancient sites, and urban centers, Dr. Marta explains how to "read" the spiritual atmosphere of a place and why some locations seem to act as portals or gathering points for non-human entities. The conversation explores Old Testament concepts like "high places," New Testament references to territorial demons, and how historical events create lasting spiritual consequences for geographic regions. Dr. Marta addresses common theological objections while sharing real-world examples of locations where teams of investigators consistently report similar phenomena. She explains the difference between lingering human spirits and territorial demons, how worship and biblical declaration can impact spiritual atmospheres, and why proper spiritual authority matters when confronting these forces. The discussion examines the balance between acknowledging supernatural realities based in Scripture and avoiding obsession with demonic activity, offering both a theological framework and practical field experience for understanding the spiritual dimensions of geography.
