Aaron Carnes joins the podcast to talk about his mission to reframe the conversation around ska music and his writing career. As a veteran journalist and former ska-punk drummer, Aaron brings firsthand knowledge and critical insight to his book, "In Defense of Ska." We discuss the genre's rich history, its cultural significance, and what it tells us about how we frame music history and some of the politics around it. We also talk about Aaron's new book centered around death and dealing with the inevitability of it. Whether you're a ska fan or a skeptic, this episode will make you rethink what you know.

There are many rich images used to depict the nature of the Church in the New Testament. The Body of Christ, the Salt of the Earth, etc... One scholar notes as many as 96 of them! Part of the picture this gives us is that the church is so glorious, and the wonderful truths about it are so myriad, that it requires many different images to draw out all of its beauty. Sort of like the way in which the luster of a diamond is drawn out when examined from different angles and in different lighting. In Ephesians 2:19-22, the Apostle Paul gives 3 different images of what the Church is.The Church is the Citizenry of the Kingdom of HeavenThe Church is the Family of GodThe Church is the Temple of GodIn contrast to the low opinions that many people in the world today have of the Church of Jesus Christ, these images draw out remarkable truths about the Church. One of these glorious truths is that the Church is essentially a manifestation of heaven on earth! Now that's a remarkable thought! Members of the true Church (all genuine Christians) are people who are citizens and ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven. Not only so, but all true local churches are also like embassies or outposts of the Kingdom of Heaven. They are the place where the values, the power, and the authority of the Kingdom of Heaven show up on the earth.Furthermore, to say that the Church is the temple of God, is to say that it is in the Church where God is most uniquely present. It is in the Church where God dwells and where his presence is to be sought!Listen to this episode to hear more about the implications of these great truths. This episode was originally a sermon given by Jackson Hankey at River City Church on Thursday, Aug. 14th, 2025.

À 7 000 km de l'archipel des Comores*, loin de l'océan Indien et de la côte sud-est du continent africain, voyage dans la cité portuaire surnommée « la cinquième île des Comores ».  On connaît d'abord Marseille la Phocéenne fondée il y a 2 600 ans, Marseille la Méditerranéenne, la Corse, l'Italienne, l'Arménienne ou encore l'Algérienne, mais beaucoup moins la Comorienne ! Pourtant, selon une légende tenace, Marseille serait la plus grande ville comorienne au monde, devant même Moroni, la capitale de l'archipel ! Aujourd'hui, on estime que la population comorienne -d'origine ou de nationalité- atteint les 100 000 personnes et représente donc 10% des habitants de Marseille. En arrivant Gare Saint-Charles ou sur le Vieux-Port, dans les rues de la deuxième ville de France, si le métissage ne fait pas l'ombre d'un doute, pour ce qui est de la présence comorienne, il faut aller vers les quartiers Nord pour en saisir vraiment l'importance. C'est là que se concentre la communauté comorienne de Marseille, une communauté récente à l'échelle de la longue histoire de la ville, ouverte quoique réputée discrète, mais surtout fière de partager sa culture et son identité à la fois comorienne et marseillaise.

La hora de la salida Godin.

In dieser Radioreise nimmt Sie Alexander Tauscher mit auf eine deutsche Geschichtsreise. Erleben Sie ein Jahrhundert an zwei historischen Orten. Wir fokussieren uns auf die zwei Diktaturen des 20. Jahrhunderts, ohne sie gleichzusetzen und ohne irgendetwas zu relativieren. Das dunkelste Kapitel deutscher Geschichte ist eng mit einer der schönsten Landschaften Deutschlands verknüpft. In der Dokumentation Obersalzberg erfahren wir die Geschichte des Berges vom einstigen Bauerndorf zum so genannten Führerhauptquartier. Adolf Hitler und seine SS-Schergen trafen vor der Kulisse dieser idyllischen Landschaft brutale Entscheidungen. Das erzählt erzählt uns Bildungsreferentin Nadine Tauchner beim Rundgang durch das Dokumentationszentrum. Dann wechseln wir den Ort und auch das Geschichtskapitel. Im DDR-Museum am Spreeufer in Berlin-Mitte erleben wir den sozialistischen Alltag im einstigen so genannten Arbeiter- und Bauernstaat. Gordon Freiherr von Godin, Museumsleiter, führt uns in verschiedene Bereiche des Lebens. Wir sitzen im Trabbi und in einem typischen Wohnzimmer im Plattenbau. Wir sehen Haushalts- und Unterhaltungstechnik made in GDR und lächeln über die Form von Turnhosen jener Zeit. Aber natürlich widmet sich das Museum auch den gesellschaftlichen Zwängen und den Methoden der Überwachung durch die Staatssicherheit. Wir nehmen Platz in einem Sessel einer SED-Politoffiziellen. Diese Sendung erhebt natürlich keinen Anspruch auf vollständige Geschichtsgliederung. Wir wollen damit einfach Reiselust erzeugen - für einen Urlaub im Bergerlebnis Berchtesgaden oder einen visit Berlin. Gute Unterhaltung auf dem Weg von B nach B!

Hustle Culture vs. Diligence with GodIn today's world, we are constantly bombarded with messages about the importance of hustle. We are told that we need to work harder, longer, and faster in order to be successful. This can lead to a culture of burnout and exhaustion, as we try to keep up with the demands of our jobs, our families, and our social lives.However, there is another way to live: a life of diligence with God. This means working hard, but not at the expense of our health, our relationships, or our faith. It means being intentional about our work and using our time wisely. It means trusting in God's plan for our lives and knowing that He will provide for us.Here are some of the benefits of living a life of diligence with God: Reduced stress: When we trust in God, we don't have to worry about everything. We can rest assured that He is in control. Increased focus: When we are not constantly stressed about work, we are able to focus more on the task at hand. Improved relationships: When we are not always working, we have more time to spend with our loved ones. Greater peace of mind: Knowing that God is with us gives us a sense of peace and security.Come along for the journey!

WEEK 3: HIS WISDOM IS PERFECTJoseph: In God's HandsBeholding the Perfect Sovereignty of GodIn today's message, we're reminded that God's wisdom is not only perfect—it's generously available to those who ask. As we walk through Genesis 40, we find Joseph once again in a place of trial, falsely accused and confined in prison. But even here, God is orchestrating events with sovereign precision. Through Joseph's encounter with Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker, we see how God's wisdom breaks through confusion, provides clarity, and sets the stage for redemption.Key Takeaways:God's wisdom is perfect, even in seasons of suffering.Joseph demonstrates mature faith by depending on God rather than trying to figure things out on his own.True spiritual growth means becoming more dependent on the Lord, not more independent.Like Joseph, we can cry out for wisdom in our pain and uncertainty—because God promises to give it generously (James 1:5).God is the Author of your story. There is an answer key—and He holds it.Whether you're facing confusion, waiting on a breakthrough, or walking through deep pain, today's message reminds us to stop striving for answers on our own and instead depend fully on the God who never leaves us without direction.Related Scriptures for Study:Genesis 40:1–13James 1:5Proverbs 3:5–6Isaiah 55:8–9If you're weary, uncertain, or desperate for clarity, don't walk alone. Ask God. Seek His face. His wisdom is for you today.

In a series of posts from February 8th to 11th, open source developer Matthieu Bucchianeri started making allegations that Meta's OVRPlugin is blocking non-Meta OpenXR runtimes, thereby undermining the open and interoperable spirit of OpenXR. He claims that "the OVRPlugin takes intentional precautions to exclude non-Meta platforms. This means that XR content developed with OVRPlugin will only work with Quest Link, and it will not work with any other runtime." Bucchianeri's allegation is that if a PCVR game includes Meta's OVRPlugin as their OpenXR middleware and doesn't implement the counter-blocking measures that he details, then PCVR users will only be able to use a Quest headset with Quest Link while other non-Meta headsets like "Pimax, Pico, Varjo, Vive" will be blocked, even if they have conformant OpenXR runtimes. Bucchianeri has validated these blocking counter-measures, and he says, "as proven with many applications using OVRPlugin with counter-measures enabled, these applications can run on a conformant OpenXR implementation." Not very many XR developers are willing to speak about these issues on the record, but I did manage to record a Voices of VR podcast interview with Virtual Desktop's Guy Godin who was able to independently corroborate many of the core allegations from Bucchianeri. Godin collaborated with Bucchianeri on the Virtual Desktop OpenXR (VDXR) runtime, but has also been receiving many complaints from PCVR users around Meta's OpenXR non-compliance issues, especially with games that launch both on Quest and PCVR and use Meta's OVRPlugin. Godin told me that games will work fine natively on the Quest, but any non-Quest headsets or if they aren't using Quest Link will be blocked on the PCVR version, unless the developer specifically implements anti-blocking counter-measures detailed by Bucchianeri in his technical write-up. It appears as though OpenXR conformance from the Khronos Group only pertains to the actual OpenXR runtimes on the hardware, but headset manufacturers are able to create their own SDK plug-in middleware that interfaces with OpenXR that doesn't have the same conformance requirements. It appears as though Meta is able to technically maintain their OpenXR runtime conformant status because it does not apply to their OVRPlugin middleware SDK solution, and Bucchianeri is claiming that Meta is undermining the normative standards of interoperability by not following the best practices from the Khronos Group. He says, "For the past several years, Khronos has come up with best practices and solutions to develop OpenXR applications and maximize cross-vendor and cross-platform interoperability. Khronos has asked XR developers all over the world to follow these best practices, however - Meta - the largest vendor in Khronos is refusing to follow these best practices." Bucchianeri is also claiming to have had private communications with Meta confirming that these were deliberate and intentional changes. He says, "This is not an accident: this concern was reported to Meta early in 2024 via official means in the Khronos group. Meta acknowledged purposedly blocking other platforms from running OpenXR content at that time." I was able to confirm in my discussion with Guy Godwin in this Voices of VR podcast episode that he also believes that these were deliberate and intentional changes to undermine the spirit of OpenXR. Part of why Bucchianeri was blowing the whistle is because the Khronos Group had not been taking any action against Meta. He describes Meta's actions as "reverting many of the improvements to the developers and users ecosystem that Khronos has spent time, money, energy into solving for the past 7 years." He says, "Unfortunately, since 2024, Khronos has refused to take actions to stop Meta's OVRPlugin destructive initiative towards the PCVR ecosystem. By not taking any actions to resolve the issues created by Meta's OVRPlugin, Khronos is sending the message that OpenXR is no lo...

Things Discussed: Signing Day: Got the most talent on offense since…1998? Down the list: OL: Two of the highest-ranked OTs in the history of the program, Gach was a Priority 1 for the program, Strayhorn is a center. RB: Jasper Parker the sites just missed; poorer man's Adrian Peterson. M thinks DJ is healthy. WR: Marsh was a big pull vs heavy hitters, Year 1 player. Browder needs development but Junior Hemingway upside. Washington is tall and can move well. TE: Owens is a Bredeson, really hurts that they missed on Olesh. DL: We love the heavy-handed build-a-bears that Esposito recruits. Remember his WMU guys? Moten and Patterson are going to be those guys too. Lou is convinced Benny Patterson is the guy. Kanka is a Godin. Marshall was a Priority and a big win. Can't expect them to get the scouting coup of the century with Graham and Grant every year but they can scout and now they can win the guys they scouted. Basketball: Every guy is good with a tradeoff, and that tradeoff is turnovers, e.g. look at the defense that Roddy Gayle (and Pippen) played on Ace Bailey. Rutgers: We got a break by missing Harper, who just shredded Illinois. Oregon game: the mental errors are baked in at this point, like they're not going to score at the rim as well as you want them to. Also baked in is the fact that they switch everything and play drop coverage, so your Shelstad types who make 50%+ of other twos after attacking a Goldin or Wolf are going to score. Sugarplum vision of a top-3 seed and winning the B10 is probably gone. All but one of their remaining games (all but Rutgers at home) are Kenpom A (top-50) tier, IE Q1 opportunities.
