Fascism is toxic masculinity, and the cure starts at home. Comedian, recovering Catholic and proud girl dad Pete Dominick, host of Stand Up! with Pete Dominick, turns the mic on Andrea to talk about her new book, A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women: 20 Steps to Find Your Purpose and Power in a World on Fire, and how her family's Ukrainian immigrant wisdom holds the key for how we overcome a patriarchal nightmare of complicit silence and cover-ups: "when they throw you out the door, climb back in through the window." The Cornell 7 are the Epstein Class–the elite criminal impunity of male dominance destroying our planet. Andrea and Pete discuss what men can actually do, starting with Pete's rule that, "the standard you walk past is the standard you accept." They also discuss the darker truth of the "Cornell 7," the frat rapists accused of drugging and gang-raping a young woman in 2024, an investigation that has been reopened thanks to the survivor bringing a lawsuit. They also discuss why liberal blue cities may be raising the next generation of the Cornell 7/Epstein Class, and how to stop it.  They cover the historical context of male dominance culture, including Christian nationalism, how women were founders of the Christian church before being pushed aside, why Mary Magdalene was arguably the first Pope and how her story–for the most part–survived 2,000 years of patriarchal revisions. They also discuss Iceland's general strike by women that ushered in a female-driven revolution, the MAGA threat against the growing psychedelics market being fast-tracked by Trump's FDA, and the divine feminine experiences widely reported at the heart of indigenous medicinal experiences, and much, much more.  The world is ending. The world has always been ending. So Gaslit Nation adopts its official policy, coming soon to a t-shirt: STFU and build something. It's a rallying cry to stop doomscrolling and start planting seeds of hope and change. Progress is thanks to our unleashed creativity, defiance, and beautiful imaginations.  And if you want to help us build something–a resistance to Putin–get your tax deductible ticket to Gaslit Nation and Razom's Speakeasy Benefit October 15 in New York City – you can join and be part of the festivities from anywhere: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/people-power-ukraines-unreasonable-women-tickets-2002002955733?

No guest this week—just the three of us circling the wagons.In our first hosts-only episode of Through the Grapevine, we take a little time to catch up, reflect, and talk through some of the things we've been seeing in our industries and around the Livermore Valley.We start locally with a question that's been hard to ignore lately: How many pizza and ice cream shops can one town have? Beyond the jokes, it opens up a larger conversation about small business, hospitality, what consumers are asking for, and what a growing collection of similar concepts might tell us about where the industry is headed.Matt shares some reflections from traveling around the country and getting the opportunity to sit at the table with peers and colleagues in the CrossFit industry as a subject matter expert. We talk about what a privilege those invitations can be—and the years of work, relationships, experience, and credibility that often happen long before someone gets the call.Jeremy also gets candid about the Tri-Valley. He's always been one of the region's biggest advocates, but advocacy doesn't mean you can't be frustrated. We talk about why greater collaboration across events, marketing, hospitality, tourism, and our overall regional ethos matters—and why sometimes being invested in a place means being willing to challenge it to be better.And finally, we look back on our first Sunday Supper at Wingen Bakery & Restaurant. Jeremy shares some thoughts on what went right, what the night meant, and plenty of gratitude for everyone who helped bring it to life. And yes… we're already looking toward January for the next one.No featured guest. No single topic. Just three friends and hosts checking in, sharing some perspective, and having the kind of conversation that happens when you finally get a chance to sit around the table together.Welcome to a different kind of episode of Through the Grapevine.#eatlocal #drinklocal #livelocal

Bill Wilson credits his1934 “white light experience” in Towns Hospital as the start of his psychic change and spiritual transformation. Bill experienced nothing short of a taste of the divine. It also began Bill'ssearch for ways other alcoholics might experience similar altered states of consciousness – states powerful enough to jump-start their recovery journey. In the mid 1950s Wilson experimented with LSD and began a life-long friendship with two of its major proponents: Aldous Huxley and Gerald Heard. In the first episode of this series, I interviewed Don Lattin, author of Distilled Spirits. His book traces the relationship of these three men over the years.In this second episode, I interview Matt D. from the 12-Step Fellowship All Addicts Anonymous (AAA). Matt's knowledge of Bill Wilson's LSD interest and involvement comes from his personal experience with AAA's co-founders and draws from the group's extensive archives.Recently, there's been renewed interest among researchers in the use of psychedelic drugs in the treatment of depression as well as addiction. Our discussion expands on Wilson's LSD history and includes warnings for those who might seek a shortcut to spiritual transformation.    Show notes: ·       Link to All Addicts Anonymous https://alladdictsanonymous.org/·       Pharmacolatry: (Drug Worship) The Religion of the Present Age·       Article, The Search for Ecstacy by Gerald Heard printed in the aa Grapevine

Did AI Just Give My Continuing Education Lecture? What happens when artificial intelligence stops helping the educator and starts becoming the educator? In this episode, Dr. Chris Wolfe shares an experience from a recent COPE approved continuing education lecture that left him asking a bigger question: Who actually created the education he was receiving? The lecture was delivered by a highly trained retinal surgeon, but much of the presentation sounded heavily AI scripted and appeared to be read nearly verbatim. At the same time, portions of the course focused specifically on one manufacturer's OCT technology and terminology. That combination raised questions that go far beyond whether someone used ChatGPT to make a PowerPoint. Chris discusses the difference between using AI to improve your expertise and using AI to substitute for the intellectual work of creating education. AI can help organize ideas, research evidence, improve explanations, refine slides, and make educators better. But if AI builds the presentation, writes the script, and the expert simply reads it, what exactly is the expert contributing? The conversation then turns to the relationship between key opinion leaders, industry, and continuing education. Chris shares a real example of a vendor proactively offering KOLs ready made slides, studies, references, sample reports, and other resources for upcoming conference presentations. None of those things are inherently inappropriate, but AI makes it incredibly easy to turn vendor supplied material into a polished educational presentation with very little additional work from the lecturer. That raises a much larger question about the effectiveness of our current continuing education safeguards. COPE has developed standards intended to preserve educational independence and address commercial influence, yet financial disclosures often amount to little more than a list of company names. They may tell an audience that a relationship exists without providing much context about the nature or magnitude of that relationship. Chris explains why he believes clinicians should become familiar with the CMS Open Payments database and why receiving industry compensation should not automatically be viewed as evidence of bias. He works with industry himself. The issue is not simply whether money changed hands. The issue is transparency and giving the audience enough information to evaluate potential influences for themselves. Ultimately, this episode isn't an argument against AI, industry relationships, KOLs, or even vendor supplied educational resources. It is a challenge to educators and the organizations responsible for continuing education. AI should allow us to get more from an expert, not less. If you have spent twenty years looking at retinas, tell us what those twenty years taught you. Show us your cases. Tell us where you were wrong. Tell us where experience changed your mind. Challenge the literature. Give us the judgment and pattern recognition that cannot be reproduced simply by asking an AI model to explain the topic. Because if a vendor supplies the material, AI builds the presentation, AI writes the script, and the expert's primary contribution is reading it from the stage, another disclosure form probably isn't going to solve the problem. The question educators may increasingly need to answer is much simpler: What did the expert actually add? In This Episode Chris discusses AI generated presentations and scripts, the difference between AI assistance and AI substitution, KOL relationships with industry, vendor influence on educational content, the limitations of traditional financial disclosures, CMS Open Payments, COPE and commercial independence, and what audiences should expect from experts in the age of artificial intelligence. Resources Mentioned CMS Open Payments Search financial relationships reported between applicable manufacturers and physicians and other covered recipients: https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/ COPE / Association of Regulatory Boards of Optometry Information about COPE accreditation and continuing education standards: https://www.arbo.org/cope The Bigger Question AI can write the slides. AI can summarize the research. AI can create the speaker notes. AI can even make the transitions sound polished. But it hasn't treated your patients. The value of an expert isn't the ability to deliver information. It is the experience, judgment, mistakes, disagreements, cases, and perspective they bring to that information. AI should amplify that expertise, not replace it.   AMD Implementation Workshop — October 29, 2026 Want to take these concepts beyond the podcast and actually build an AMD system for your practice?

Rachel tells Don and Sam that drinking was a big part of her family life and she too followed that path. While friends were starting families, going to college, getting full-time jobs Rachel was going to jail, moving closer to bars so she didn't have to drive, and watching TV shows about interventions while drinking. She tried for years to avoid herself. Now in AA, Rachel is facing life on life's terms. Sometimes that brings pain, but it also brings joy and freedom, she says. In the feature Language of the Heart we hear from Jack and Janice. Steve shares a joke in Wit's End.While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to round up the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week is:[00:09:12] A Twitch Star Disrupts Idyllic ReykjavíkSome dude from New York, a 25-year-old called Kai Cenat, who apparently has millions of followers on something called Twitch, disrupted life in downtown Reykjavík this weekend when he was livestreaming his visit there. Hundreds of teenagers, who we suppose follow Cenat on Twitch, showed up to mob him, and someone stole Cenat's hat. Furthermore, over the weekend, a new series of The Four Seasons was being shot in Iceland, and according to local production company True North, they employed over 100 people to facilitate the production.[00:16:15] Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir's Speech At The UN On SaturdayIceland's Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir spoke at the UN General Assembly on Saturday in a speech that has gone, as they say, viral. On the previous day, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke, and while he did so, the majority of UN delegates left the hall. To which Netanyahu responded by saying, “If there are any other moral cowards who haven't left the hall, please do so now.” Iceland's delegation did not leave the hall and received some criticism for not having done so in solidarity with those nations whose representatives did. However, Þorgerður Katrín did respond in her speech, and without naming names said, “We have heard the words ‘moral cowards' from this podium. To me, moral cowards are those leaders of the world who refuse to sit down and negotiate a just and lasting peace. Those leaders who deny access to humanitarian aid for people in desperate need. And moral cowards are those leaders of the world who repeatedly go against and disrespect international law.”[00:24:12] Six Days Of Inga Sæland As PMWhile Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir and Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir have been attending the UN General Assembly, Inga Sæland, the Chair of the People's Party, has been acting Prime Minister. Her governance of her party was making headlines as her conduct in sidelining then People's Party minister for education Guðmundur Ingi Kristinsson was detailed. Inga then also passed a law to suppress a strike by aircraft mechanics, which had at that point already disrupted Icelandair's flight schedule. This does beg the question to what extent the People's Party is actually just a single person's party, namely that of Inga Sæland.[00:31:48] Unlikely That Iceland Will Be “Carbon-Neutral” As Planned, By 2040On Tuesday last week, Minister of the Environment, Energy and Climate of Iceland Jóhann Páll Jóhannesson issued new numbers on Iceland's greenhouse gas emissions. Iceland's emissions have gone down by 3.9% in the past year, but the minister is pessimistic about Iceland meeting its 2030 emission target of 41% lower emissions than in 2005, and thinks it is impossible that this government's goal of carbon neutrality by 2040 will be met. He also pointed out that what carbon neutrality means by law has never been defined.[00:37:58] New Tourism TaxFrom June 1 next year, tourists visiting the Golden Circle will be taxed about 4,500 ISK (around 37 USD) each. Through this, the state hopes to collect more than 5 billion ISK next year. Unsurprisingly, tourism companies object to the new tax. The idea is that the tax will be used to pay for infrastructure maintenance.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport The Reykjavík Grapevine's reporting by becoming a subscriber at https://www.grapevine.is/subscribe - We are also a printed magazine.

In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week is:[00:06:17] Icelandair Flights Cancelled, Then Resumed, Due To A StrikeAt 00:01 on Wednesday, 23 September, the Icelandic Aircraft Mechanics Association (FVFÍ) began a strike, which disrupted Icelandair's flight schedule significantly, affecting 26 flights and 5,500 passengers.During the morning of the same day Eyjólfur Ármannsson, Minister of Infastructure announced that “The government passed a bill at its meeting this morning to postpone the strike. I will submit a bill later today,”As noted in the Icelandic Stock Exchange, at 11:08 the Icelandic Aircraft Mechanics Association (FVFÍ) ended their strike. Icelandair flights are expected to resume. [00:16:18] Unemployment At 6,8%According To Statistics Iceland unemployment in Iceland was measured at 6,8% in August with an estimate of 15.900 people unemployed, an increase of 0,2% from the previous month of July. Unemployment was measured at 7% last November, and at 7,3% last January.  Covid unemployment aside, which peaked at 9,1% in April 2021, the recent unemployment rates are the highest in Iceland for more than a decade. [00:32:00] Social Democratic Party Remains Most PopularThe Social Democratic Party, whose chair Kristrún Frostadóttir leads the current coalition majority in Iceland's Parlieman, gained 1,3% in popularity since last surveyed in a recent poll by Maskína, with 27,5%.. The poll was conducted before and after the defeat of the government in a referendum on restarting negotiations with the EU, held in late August. [00:39:48] Up To 20 People Arrested By Police YesterdayThe Icelandic Police announced today that it had arrested up to 20 persons as a part of an investigation they were conducting. One of the arrested Atli Freyr Fjölnisson, currently in custody in relation to drug trafficking charges. Also arrested was an employee of local car dealership BL and an employee of a fast food restaurant. Reasons for the investigation and the arrests have not been given by the police.[00:27:31] Newly Built Apartments Not SellingAccording to a recent report from the Icelandic housing, construction and planning authority, almost 1,900 ready apartments have not been sold in Iceland. Three years ago, such apartments numbered at just over 200. The unsold apartments within the Capital Area number at least 375, 213 of which are located in Hafnarfjörður. The numbers do tell a story of a housing market in crisis, as prices have soared, interest rates are at 8,0% and number of sales and purchases of apartments are at an all time low.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport The Reykjavík Grapevine's reporting by becoming a subscriber at https://www.grapevine.is/subscribe - We are also a printed magazine.

Send us Fan MailPart 2 of our conversation with Dre, known as FadesxDre, barber and owner of Ritual Barber Studio in Grapevine, Texas.We pick up with Dre's time working for the state. She opens up about CPS cases, the pressure on caseworkers to close cases by the numbers, and why she eventually walked away. Then it shifts. In 2020, working from home, she cut her son's hair with a clipper kit from Walmart. It didn't look bad. That week she went to the nearest barber school and enrolled on the spot.What followed was a lot at once. A divorce, two boys, online barber school during COVID, and a front desk job at a pet hotel with a boss who gave her grace when she needed it most. She lost her school's owner and instructor to COVID before finishing. She found a mentor who let her watch, split cuts with her, and never charged her. Then she packed a U-Haul, hitched her Jeep, and drove her boys to Dallas, where two realtors had the keys, pizza, and a stocked fridge waiting.Dre talks about networking beyond barber events, being the only Latina on a business board, cutting for the Mavericks G League team and the UT Cotton Bowl team, judging barber competitions, and why she and her husband scaled back to a studio closer to home after their baby was born.She closes with advice for anyone starting out: stay consistent, stay disciplined, and learn business first. And a reminder that your job is never your identity.Takeaways: Why structure and discipline matter more than fast money How mentors outside your industry can teach you the most What it takes to prove yourself in a male-dominated field Why showing up for people should never be transactionalContent note: this episode includes discussion of child abuse cases from Andrea's time working for CPS.Connect with Andrea: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook: @fadesxdre Ritual Barber Studio: @ritualbarberstudiodfw Sparkyard Greetings: sparkyardgreetings.com | @sparkyardgreetingsThe Global Latin Factor Podcast with Crispin Valentin YouTube: @thegloballatinfactorpodcast Email: info@thegloballatinfactor.comIf this story meant something to you, follow the show, leave a rating and review, and send it to someone who's thinking about starting over.

Bill Wilson credits his1934 “white light experience” in Towns Hospital as the start of his psychic change and spiritual transformation. Bill experienced nothing short of a taste of the divine. It also began Bill's search for ways other alcoholics might experience similar altered states of consciousness – states powerful enough to jump-start their recovery journey. In the mid 1950s Wilson experimented with LSD and began a life-long friendship with two of its major proponents: Aldous Huxley and Gerald Heard. In the first episode of this series, I interviewed Don Lattin, author of Distilled Spirits. His book traces the relationship of these three men over the years. Recently, there's been renewed interest among researchers inthe use of psychedelic drugs in the treatment of depression as well as addiction. Our discussion expands on Wilson's LSD history and includes warnings for those who might seek a shortcut to spiritual transformation.    Show notes: ·       All Addicts Anonymous https://alladdictsanonymous.org/·       Pharmacolatry: (Drug Worship): The Religion of the Present Age·       Article by Gerald Heard / The Search for Ecstacy printed in the Grapevine

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin editor Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week is;[00:36:13] Trump Floated Making Iceland 51st State In Call With Then-PM Of Iceland In 2024On November 26, four days before Iceland's 2024 parliamentary elections, then-Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson was greeted by a phone call when he entered his home. It was President-elect Donald Trump. This unusual phone call came with an unusual suggestion: how did Bjarni feel about making Iceland the 51st state?[00:31:06] Iceland Not Interested In Abandoning the International Criminal CourtThe Ministry for Foreign Affairs says it is out of the question that Iceland withdraw from the Rome Statute, and that the Icelandic government wholeheartedly supports the International Criminal Court. The US government is now pressuring NATO countries and others to withdraw from the court.The European newspaper Politico reported on the 10th of September that Matthew Whitaker, the US government's envoy, had asked the ambassadors of NATO member states for assistance in undermining the international war crimes court at a closed meeting with them at the alliance's headquarters in Brussels in July.Whitaker wanted the countries to withdraw from the Rome Statute, the court's founding treaty. He warned the ambassadors that the US government would be watching closely to see who supported it in this effort.[00:21:35] The USA And EU Countries Threaten Sanctions On Iceland Over WhalingAuthorities in the United States have threatened to impose tariffs on Icelandic imports over whaling, according to visir.is sources. Threats have also come from European Union countries. The Minister of Industries intends to propose that the hunts be banned in a bill to be introduced after the new year, and says both the nation's trade interests and animal welfare are at stake in the matter.[00:12:10] A Boat Sinks For the Third TimeA boat named Glacier (Jökull) sank on Saturday night in Hafnarfjörður harbour, for the third time since 2020. Now, is there a metaphor in there somewhere?[00:04:13] The Icelandic Police Issues AI Slop Stickers To KidsEvery year the police conduct community outreach, this year's effort has met with mixed opinions, as this year the police issued AI-generated stickers to schoolchildren, featuring two police officers and a bear in a police uniform. Local musical legend (and advertising agency owner) Bragi Valdimar Skúlason criticised the police for the sticker, pointing out an obvious AI blunder (Police or Lögreglan misspelled on the sticker), and questioned the police's decision to opt for AI instead of hiring human graphic designers and proofreaders. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport The Reykjavík Grapevine's reporting by becoming a subscriber at https://www.grapevine.is/subscribe - We are also a printed magazine.

Det här är berättelsen om en drillad entertainer som gick från att imitera sina idoler till att bli en världsartist i egen rätt. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. – Bruno, people love to accuse you of being a cultural thief which I find interesting because you are a man of color. What do you say to those people?– If we play basketball and can't learn from Michael Jordan, what's the point of him doing it?Bruno Mars tangorabatt är välansad. En guldkedja glimmar runt hans hals De kararakteristiska solglasögonen är tintade. Trots det avslöjar hans blick ingenting av det som pågår i hans huvud när han gästar radioshowen The Breakfast Club. – Does that question piss you off?– No, it comes with the gig and there's real merit to what people say about black entertainers not getting their flowers.Hösten 2021 befinner sig världen i lockdown. Pandemin sätter djupa spår i alla. Inte minst världens artistcommunity som gör allt för att överleva vad som känns som en evig vinter. En som trots allt har lyckats, och det med råge, är 36-årige Bruno Mars.Sedan den hyllade debutplattan Doo-Wops & Hooligans släpptes för 11 år sen har livet varit en fest. Bruno Mars har gjort sig känd som ett souldyrkande musikaliskt geni, en entertainer av rang och en flickidol. Men den senaste tiden har han, som helst vill låta musiken tala för sig, själv hamnat i hetluften.– You can't find an interview where I'm not talking about the entertainers that have come before me.

The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Grapevine journalist Elías Þórsson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week is;[00:02:10] Increased Sales Of The Icelandic FlagThis summer saw a major increase in sales of flagpoles and the Icelandic flag according to Brynjar Húnfjörð, the CEO of Íslandshús, a company that sells flagpoles. Brynjar cites a recent change in Icelandic law: until this summer, it was illegal to hoist the flag after darkness or specific hours of the day. The change allowed the flag to be hoisted around the clock between May 1 and August 15.[00:15:55] High Speed Ride-Sharing Car-ChaseThis Saturday, the police in Reykjavík engaged in a high-speed chase after a reportedly intoxicated man who had rented a ride-share car from local ride-sharing company Hopp, driven at speeds up to 140 km/h, and hit several vehicles along the way. At least five police cars and two police motorcycles went in pursuit, eventually catching the driver in Víðidalur, Reykjavík. He was arrested and taken into custody “until he was fit to be interrogated,” according to the police.[00:19:54] Free Media TV News In Iceland Comes To An EndThe Icelandic media market was one of the main topics of discussion this weekend, following media company SÝN's announcement that it was discontinuing its TV news, which had run since 1986. This means that Iceland only has a single TV news program left, run by the State Broadcasting Service, RÚV. Iceland also only has a single daily paper left, Morgunblaðið. Logi Einarsson, the minister responsible for the media in Iceland, was interviewed both by RÚV and Vísir on the topic, and former minister of the media Lilja Alfreðsdóttir was also interviewed, making the point that RÚV had expanded over the past few years at the expense of free media in Iceland, going on to say that parliament wasn't taking the dire situation of media in Iceland seriously enough.[00:34:16] Icelandic Car Rental Companies Face Billions In BacktaxesIcelandic car rental companies face billions of krónur in back taxes. Last week, it came to light that the Icelandic tax authorities might charge many of the biggest car rental companies VAT on their sales of insurance to customers. Between 15 and 30% of a car rental company's income stems from selling insurance on their vehicles, and if the taxation is backdated as far back as six years, companies such as Bílaleiga Akureyrar might have to pay up to 2 billion ISK. If this happens, many of the biggest car rental companies in Iceland might simply become insolvent, disrupting the car rental market in Iceland significantly.[00:43:56] More Details On Biggest Cocaine Bust In Iceland's HistoryIn late June, the police reported the largest cocaine bust in Iceland's history–106 kg, which has a street value of around 3 billion ISK. The drugs were hidden in a small compartment underneath the Bulgarian aluminum freighter Koznitza, which was arriving from Brazil. Earlier that month, a specialized van with diving equipment arrived in the country on the Norræna ferry from Denmark. Two Brazilian divers also arrived to fetch the drugs and, according to the police, were “specialized in drug diving.” However, they ran into problems immediately, as their suits were too small, so they had to start by buying more gear, and it took them two tries to fetch the cocaine, which they had to swim 1.5 km to reach. To help them cover that distance, they used what's called a ‘scooter'—a James Bond-esque propeller device. But to add insult to injury, the police had been tracking the drugs all the way from Brazil, and before the divers even reached the ship, the cocaine had been replaced with fake material. The investigation is expected to conclude this week.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport The Reykjavík Grapevine's reporting by becoming a subscriber at https://www.grapevine.is/subscribe - We are also a printed magazine.

The meeting was a casual, wide-ranging conversation among Scott, Burke, and Jason, centered on reviewing Scott's lighting design for the 2016 production of Spring Awakening at the Runway Theater in Grapevine, Texas. They discussed the challenges of the small venue, the set design by Kevin Brown, the use of limited dimmers and moving lights, and specific lighting choices for key scenes, with Jason and Burke giving feedback on what worked well and what they would have done differently. The group also talked about their backgrounds in theater, changes in the industry, the impact of AI on design, and personal updates about family, health, and life changes. The conversation included many anecdotes about past theater and touring experiences, stories about colleagues, and reflections on aging, relationships, and the future of live entertainment.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On the docket this week is, basically nothing but the recent EU referendum, which ended with a NO on August 29. We talk about the stunning 80% voter turnout, the Yes and No campaign's polarizing tactics, pitting “wool sweater nationalism” against incomprehensible, artsy slogans. We also talk about the “European Army”, TikTok and the youth vote. When this is finally over and done with, we talk about a recent policy change in blood donations in Iceland, and the forthcoming problems that the government and the unions are facing, as the past months of inflation have voided the collective bargaining agreements that dictate the number on the paychecks of a significant number of the population of Iceland.Highlights[00:05:00] – The Referendum Breakdown[00:18:00] – Campaign Aesthetics & "Wool Sweater Nationalism"[00:35:53] – TikTok & The Youth Vote Shift[00:52:38] – A Historic Victory for Blood Donation[00:54:35] – Autumn Economic Storm------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport The Reykjavík Grapevine's reporting by becoming a subscriber at https://www.grapevine.is/subscribe - We are also a printed magazine.

After exploring the history, legacy, and deep agricultural roots of the Livermore Valley in Part One, Nancy Calhoun Mueller returns to Through the Grapevine to look forward—and ask what it will actually take to reignite agriculture in our region.This time, we dig deeper into the mechanics of building a more resilient agricultural future: biodiversity, regenerative land stewardship, local food systems, collaboration, and the critical role working ranches can play in keeping our open spaces both productive and healthy.And perhaps the people best positioned to lead that next chapter are the same families who have spent generations learning from this land.This isn't a conversation about preserving agriculture as a piece of Livermore's past. It's about recognizing agriculture as an essential part of its future—and considering how ranchers, farmers, chefs, consumers, educators, businesses, and community leaders can all play a role.If we want agriculture to thrive in the Livermore Valley for another 100 years, what are we willing to do today to make that possible?Join us for Part Two of our conversation with fifth-generation rancher Nancy Calhoun Mueller.#eatlocal #drinklocal #livelocal

How do you turn one of the hardest seasons of your life into the catalyst for a hospitality business that changes not just your family's future, but your guests' experience too? In this episode, I sit down with Joanna Woods, a British short-term rental host and co-host who manages properties in Grapevine, Texas, all the way from her home an hour north of Liverpool.We talk about:Navigating a life-altering family shift when her son became a wheelchair user, discovering wheelchair motocross (WCMX), and purchasing a home in Grapevine, Texas, to support his international athletic competitions.Reinvesting property cash flow into high-impact experiential amenities—like transforming an acre of land to include a game barn, outdoor cinema, pool table, and cowboy pool.Managing transatlantic operations by building an elite local team and creating a family "shift pattern" to ensure 24/7 guest support despite a six-hour time difference.Leveraging the Airbnb co-host network to scale, optimizing listings by restricting calendars to three-month windows, and actively analyzing daily search and pricing data.Using AI to mine guest reviews for exact phrasing, updating property copy to speak directly to both human guests and search algorithms, and making data-driven pricing adjustments during seven-day booking windows.Joanna pulls back the curtain on how she transitioned from seeing a property as a way to cover family travel bills to operating a high-performing hospitality brand. You'll hear how she balances market metrics with heart-led hospitality, constantly refining her listings to address missing guest needs while building a business that gives her family total flexibility.If you are a high-achieving professional wondering how to turn personal adversity into a thriving hospitality enterprise and manage operations remotely without losing quality, this conversation is your blueprint. Get ready to learn how to drop perfectionism and start leading your life and business with intention.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[00:56] A short introduction about our guest Joanna Woods, shares how an unexpected family journey led her from long-term rentals in the UK to discovering short-term rentals in Texas[05:40] Joanna recounts the whirlwind journey of launching her first U.S. short-term rental while supporting her son's wheelchair motocross world championship competition[08:28] Joanna reveals what made her fall in love with hospitality after launching her first short-term rental[10:44] How Joanna's family manages overseas short-term rental operations across time zones with strong systems and a trusted local team [13:10] Joanna explains how co-hosting created a path to grow her short-term rental business without traditional financing options[15:16] Why co-hosting became the ideal path for growing her short-term rental business without the financial pressure of property management [17:44] Joanna shares how saying yes to an unexpected opportunity helped her land her first co-hosting clients from across the world[20:24] How Joanna maintained Airbnb visibility and optimized a part-time vacation rental impacted by owner stays[23:06] Joanna and I discuss how small listing updates, guest feedback, and AI analysis can transform Airbnb performance[27:44] Why AI requires human oversight, clear instructions, and careful review when used in short-term rentals[29:31] Joanna shares how tracking revenue, conversion metrics, and Airbnb insights helped her make smarter pricing decisions and maximize property performance[33:05] Joanna shares how she balances pricing data, market experience, and intuition when making revenue management decisions[36:03] Joanna shares the mindset shift that transformed her from someone who simply listed properties on Airbnb into a true hospitality business owner[39:55] The lightning round Golden Nuggets:“Co-hosting is a wonderful way for folks who want to grow their portfolio and grow their experience and expand their team.”“If I had to start over again, I would absolutely move into co-hosting first because as a property manager, I didn't realize early on how cash intensive the property management business is.”“Whether you tell yourself you can or you can't, you're right.

Heidi tells Olis and Sam that she thought she'd found the solution early on, and didn't need all the tools found in the twelve steps. She learned later that alcoholism is a tricky disease. Sober in AA, Heidi helped her group get online during the pandemic, and that led her down a new path of service. She talks about the upcoming National AA Technology Workshop that is coming up the weekend of September 11. In the Ask it Basket Drew asks about the twelve steps. Marcheta shares about Grapevine in her life. In Using the Traditions in Our Lives we hear from Kevin, Mary and David.While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 4 (8.7) It's the last weekend of summer for a lot of families, and it opened with hard news out of Glendale — eight children were hurt after a car slammed into a preschool. Then Neil Saavedra, the Fork Reporter, joins us as the Ridge Fire near Gorman doubles to roughly 1,000 acres with a reported fire-nado towering about 100 feet over the Grapevine, plus a motorcycle crash backing up the 15 southbound through Victorville and Hesperia. But the thread running through the whole hour is a personal one: it's been exactly one year since Stefan "The Foosh" was in his accident. We go back to that day, what the last twelve months have looked like, and — once again — a thank you to the first responders and everyone else who got him through it. Conway also gets put on trial for something entirely unrelated and considerably less heroic. Is he a selfish lover? The jury is out. #RidgeFire #Grapevine #Gorman #CaliforniaWildfires #FireTornado #LATraffic #I5 #I15 #Victorville #Hesperia #Glendale #LosAngeles #LANews #BreakingNews #WildfireUpdate #FirstResponders #Anniversary #SoCal #TalkRadio #NewsPodcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (8.7) The Kings clean out their lockers after Colorado ended their season, and Anze Kopitar walks away after eight straight playoff exits — we get into the exit interviews and what this franchise looks like without him. Traffic-wise there's relief and pain at the same time: the 5 is open in both directions at the Grapevine, but you're still staring down a 19-mile backup. Then we plan an escape — the Conway Cruise to Puerto Rico and the Virgin and British Islands, sailing within five to eight miles of Cuba. After that, a look at how car insurance companies can legally charge single people and widows more than married drivers, and a warning about a genuinely dangerous weight-loss trend making the rounds online in which people are deliberately trying to infect themselves with a parasite. We're not going to walk you through it — we're going to tell you why doctors want it to stop. We close on the big one: the City of L.A. is sitting on roughly 20,000 vacant lots while the homelessness crisis grinds on. Why isn't anything getting built? Plus a look at rising food insecurity across the country. #LAKings #Kopitar #NHL #StanleyCupPlayoffs #ColoradoAvalanche #LATraffic #Grapevine #I5 #LosAngeles #LANews #CarInsurance #InsuranceRates #Cruise #Caribbean #PuertoRico #Homelessness #AffordableHousing #VacantLots #FoodInsecurity #TalkRadio See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (8.7) Neil Saavedra, the Fork Reporter, is with us as the Ridge Fire doubles to roughly 1,000 acres and a fire-nado about 100 feet high spins over the Grapevine, with a motorcycle crash separately jamming the 15 southbound through Victorville and Hesperia. Angel checks in later with better news — the 5 southbound has reopened in Gorman. But the heart of this hour belongs to Stefan "The Foosh." It's been exactly one year since his accident, and we go back through that day, everything since, and one more thank you to the first responders and everyone who showed up when it counted. Conway, meanwhile, faces a far less noble line of questioning: is he a selfish lover? Then Saavedra takes us to Wildfork in Encino to talk flash freezing, and why your home freezer is failing you — it's simply too slow. Freeze food fast and the water inside forms tiny ice crystals instead of big ones, so cell walls stay intact and the flavor and juice stay put. His at-home fix: spread single pieces — berries, cuts of meat — on a baking sheet so nothing touches, freeze for two to three hours, then bag them. No clumps, no mush. #RidgeFire #Grapevine #Gorman #CaliforniaWildfires #FireTornado #LATraffic #I5 #I15 #Victorville #Hesperia #LosAngeles #LANews #FirstResponders #TheForkReporter #NeilSaavedra #FlashFreezing #FoodTips #KitchenHacks #Wildfork #Encino See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 1 (8.7) It's the last weekend of summer for a lot of families, and it started rough — eight children were hurt after a car slammed into a preschool in Glendale. Then everything shifts to the Grapevine. The Ridge Fire near Gorman has grown to roughly 1,000 acres, doubling in just the last few hours, with a fire-nado reported at around 100 feet high and evacuation orders now in effect. The 5 is a mess through the pass, parts of the 138 are shut down, and there's a closure at Highway 126 affecting the Camarillo, Fillmore and Ojai corridor. We've got traffic updates throughout the hour and the latest on containment as crews work the ridge. The show is under construction around all of it — we're going wherever the story goes. And on a quieter note, today marks one year since Foosh's car accident. #RidgeFire #Grapevine #Gorman #BreakingNews #CaliforniaWildfires #Evacuation #LATraffic #I5 #Highway138 #Highway126 #Camarillo #Fillmore #Ojai #Glendale #LosAngeles #LANews #FireWeather #FireTornado #WildfireUpdate #SoCal See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Through the Grapevine, we sit down with Nancy Calhoun Mueller—a fifth-generation Livermore Valley rancher, agricultural advocate, and steward of a family legacy that stretches back to the 1850s.Nancy shares the story of growing up on the land, the challenges facing modern agriculture, and why she believes the future of the Livermore Valley depends on more than preserving open space—it depends on supporting the people who work it. From regenerative ranching and local food systems to agritourism, education, and community partnerships, this conversation explores what it will take to ensure agriculture remains a vibrant part of our region for generations to come.Together, we ask a simple but powerful question: If agriculture helped build the Livermore Valley, what responsibility do we all share in protecting its future?Whether you're passionate about food, wine, hospitality, conservation, or simply love calling the Tri-Valley home, this episode is an invitation to think differently about the land beneath our feet—and the people who care for it.Listen now, join the conversation, and ask yourself: What role can you play in cultivating the next chapter of the Livermore Valley?#eatlocal #drinklocal #livelocal

Ronnie, whose article appears in the August 2026 issue of Grapevine magazine, tells Don and Sam how drinking was a solution for him to hide away from his emotions. He stopped drinking on his own periodically when life became unmanageable, but always returned to it when things straightened out. When he finally found the gift of desperation, his neighbor said, "I got a friend." Olis reports in from the Western Roundup Living Sober and talks to Ronny, Pam and David.While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.
