The best soccer players all have one thing in common. They learned to love the soccer ball at home. Tom Byer, a former pro in Japan whose book “Football Starts at Home,” is probably known to many of you, is a passionate advocate not just for early childhood ball mastery, but also for the critical importance of the parent-child relationship in skill development, and the knock-on benefits for kids of learning to focus on the ball.In a couple weeks we (Belz and at least a couple of the grassroots episodes guests) are going to record a 4th episode where we respond to questions and comments.

In this episode of The Grassroots Show on the EquiRatings Eventing Podcast, Sam Watson returns to the mic to join Nicole Brown for a brilliantly practical and mindset-focused deep dive into four of the most common mistakes riders make across all three phases of eventing. From the traps of trying too hard to misunderstanding the true role of rider responsibility, Sam shares hard-earned wisdom, hilarious analogies, and honest advice you can apply at any level. Whether you're trotting down the centreline or tackling a big cross-country track, this one is packed with insight. Episode Highlights: Why "trying harder" isn't the answer: Success often comes from calm, consistent, simple habits — not more effort in the saddle. Dressage: Focus on the process, not the shape: The "one-handed riding rule", the myth of being on the bit, and the trap of chasing outcomes. Show Jumping: Control what you can: You can't control your eye for a stride — but you can control speed, rhythm, softness, and the setup. Cross Country: Stay in your lane: Riders have four jobs: straightness, speed, softness, and staying on. The rest is up to the horse. Loose jumping, roast dinners, and emotional chaos: Sam makes it relatable with real-life parallels — including why preparing a Sunday roast has a lot in common with a successful eventing round. Guest Info: Sam Watson: Irish international event rider, EquiRatings co-founder, and long-time 'friend' of the podcast. Presented by Foran Equine, part of the Connolly's RED MILLS family.

Americans have not only become so hyper-partisan that they distrust the concept of "government" on the whole, they also distrust "the news," or "the media." Except for the "media" or "news" choices they make, of course.Since media consolidation and profit margins have weighed in so heavily on decisions made in news rooms with dwindling numbers of personnel, that "trust void" has left us wanting - and yet we're seeing dandelions popping up out of the concrete as entities like the Atlanta Community Press Collective (ACPC), The Atlanta Objective and Pro Publica press on. In Atlanta, for example, the ACPC pushed and pushed, pursuing FOIA (freedom of information) requests until the Atlant Police Foundation had to cough up nearly 300 pages of records detailing their lobbying efforts to push the Atlanta Public Training Facility (aka "Cop City") through city hall despite intense public scrutiny and opposition. Pro Publica, for its part, researched to learn more about the men who'd been deported to el Salvador by the Trump administration: 230 Venezuelan immigrants, 197 of them having "not been convicted of crimes in the U.S. — and that only six had been convicted of violent offenses." They also "identified fewer than a dozen additional convictions, both for crimes committed in the U.S. and abroad, that were not reflected in the government data." There's more: "Nearly half of the men, or 118, were whisked out of the country while in the middle of their immigration cases, which should have protected them from deportation. Some were only days away from a final hearing." You know, going about it "the right way" MAGA's implore to us that that's all they want from immigrants. Okay.They dove into the use of tattoes as predetermining factors and the flaws in that rationale, which we've done here, too.------To wrap the show last week, I couldn't help but enjoy the deliciousness of Donald Trump whipping out his "gotcha" data in front of a press pool spary while touring the Fed renovations with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, only to have Powell dutifully correct him in front of same pool spray. Trump (and Senator Tim Scott touring with him) thought he had ambushed Powell, and it went like one of those Wile E. Coyote cartoons. "Boom."

On this special episode of B-Ball Radio, Boston and Celtics historian Dart Adams joins Eric Newman, as they celebrate the late great Reggie Lewis, who passed away 32 years ago on July 27, 1993. Over three decades later Reggie's impact is still being felt in Boston and across Celtics nation. Taking the torch from Larry Bird, battling Michael Jordan head-to-head, and becoming one of the best two-way players in the league, Reggie was a rising star on and off the floor as his community presence and generosity was as impressive as his jumper. One of the NBA's greatest what ifs, Reggie became Captain of the Celtics in 1992, before what would shockingly be his final season.

"I'm giving people the really good traps now. The ones that make their lives easier—because the cats shouldn't be the ones who suffer when we don't have our act together." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and the Rescue Cleaners and Disinfectants.

From fundraising with handwritten letters to implementing tech solutions like Asset Tiger to keep track of equipment, KerryAnn proves that small organizations can still think big. The two also get real about the challenges of managing supplies, fostering community buy-in, and creating sustainable partnerships with local vets.

In this episode of the Heart of Rural America podcast, Amanda Radke interviews Liz May, a representative from South Dakota, who shares her journey from ranching to politics. Liz discusses the challenges faced by the livestock industry, the impact of government policies on agriculture, and the importance of representation for producers. The conversation covers various topics including economic development, the carbon pipeline controversy, and the implications of electronic identification (EID) for cattle ranchers. Liz emphasizes the need for a fair playing field in agriculture and the importance of grassroots advocacy to protect the rights of small business owners in the industry.TakeawaysLiz May's journey from ranching to politics highlights the importance of representation.The livestock industry faces significant challenges due to lack of representation in government.Government intervention often complicates rather than aids the agricultural sector.Economic development policies can disproportionately benefit large corporations over small producers.The carbon pipeline controversy raises questions about land rights and government control.EID implementation may threaten private property rights of ranchers.Market control by a few large packers is detrimental to independent ranchers.Grassroots advocacy is essential for protecting the rights of small business owners in agriculture.Legislative wins can empower citizens and strengthen property rights.Freedom and representation in government are crucial for the survival of the agricultural industry.Presented by Bid on Beef | CK6 Consulting | CK6 Source | Real Tuff Livestock Equipment | Redmond RealSalt | By-O-Reg+ | Dirt Road RadioSave on Redmond Real Salt with code RADKE at https://shop.redmondagriculture.com/Check out Amanda's agricultural children's books here: https://amandaradke.com/collections/amandas-books

Torah Class - Parshat Pinchas: Grassroots RevolutionWhy did Pinchas earn eternal reward—and what does that teach us about the power of one person who takes action, even when everyone else stays silent?

Chrissy Stroop, a leading voice in the #Exvangelical movement, brings historical insight and personal experience to a conversation that traces the Christian right's rise to power from the Reagan era to its disturbing alignment with Russian authoritarianism today. This week's bonus show explores how evangelical leaders used strategic alliances, particularly the anti-abortion movement, to unite conservative Christians and Catholics under a single political banner. Stroop explains how this coalition gained momentum during Reagan's presidency and has since embedded itself deeply into U.S. policymaking. Particularly troubling is the influence of Christian nationalists on education through the deregulation of homeschooling, often leaving children vulnerable due to lack of oversight. Stroop also highlights how Christian nationalism, once cloaked in calls for "religious freedom," now openly embraces authoritarian tactics. The alignment with Vladimir Putin's regime, admired by many on the far right, underscores a global trend toward anti-democratic ideologies under the guise of defending “traditional values.” Yet, amidst the bleak realities, Stroop points to reasons for hope. Grassroots activism is on the rise, as communities across the country push back against oppressive legislation and public protests grow more frequent. Organizers are working tirelessly to safeguard democracy and protect civil liberties, especially for marginalized groups targeted by these far-right movements. The episode is a sobering reminder of how deeply Christian nationalism is embedded in American history, but also a call to action. As this bonus show emphasizes, defending democracy requires vigilance, public engagement, and an unwavering commitment to truth. EVENTS AT GASLIT NATION: NEW DATE!

BrownTown decolonizes the ivory tower approach to research with Dr. Glenance Green & Shari Runner, Co-Founders of the Black Researchers Collective (BRC). The Chicago-based capacity-building collective takes research to the streets, designing, activating, and mobilizing communities to use research and data to create and sustain change across Chicago communities and beyond. Dr. G and Shari discuss their journeys as researchers, organizers, and leaders from before the 2020 uprisings to now, comparing the two political moments while doubling down on their work in the face of both anti-Black and anti-science rhetoric and policies from the Trump Administration. As the team unpacks the relationship between research and the grassroots, it becomes clear that participatory and solution-based approaches to self-determination hold constant in all avenues of liberation work. After all, "we do this 'til we free us" (Mariame Kaba).

What does it take to release 200 digital singles in a single day and earn a Guinness World Record in the process? More importantly, what can that teach us about building a truly sustainable music career?In this episode, I sit down with The Orchestrator, a self-taught saxophonist whose approach to the music business is as methodical as it is inspiring. His philosophy centers on complete independence: owning your masters, understanding every revenue stream, and building passive income that allows you to create art without compromise.The Orchestrator shares his journey from learning Antonio Carlos Jobim classics to developing a bossa nova and jazz-focused catalog that generates sustainable income. But this isn't just about music. The Orchestrator highlights the importance of financial literacy, strategic thinking, and maintaining artistic integrity in an industry that often demands the opposite.Support ProducerHeadIf you value ProducerHead and want to support the show, consider a premium subscription (just $6 per month, even less on an annual basis).

Complete Ownership Creates FreedomOwning your masters, publishing, and trademarks isn't just about money—it's about maintaining the power to pivot and make decisions without outside interference. True artistic and financial independence starts with ownership.2. Diversify Your Revenue StreamsStreaming royalties from distributors represent only a fraction of what your music can earn. Register with PROs, SoundExchange, and Songtrust to collect all available royalties and build sustainable passive income.3. Financial Stability Enables Better ArtWhen your bills are covered by passive income, you can focus on creating art for art's sake rather than compromising your vision for short-term financial gains.Support ProducerHeadIf you value ProducerHead and want to support the show, consider a premium subscription (just $6 per month, even less on an annual basis).

His story proves that with the right knowledge, strategic thinking, and commitment to ownership, you can build a career that serves both your creative vision and your financial goals.The question isn't whether you can afford to own your masters—it's whether you can afford not to.What resonated most with you from this conversation?

【聊了什么】 在纽约市长民主党初选中，名不见经传的33岁州议员佐赫兰·马姆达尼（Zohran Mamdani）以惊人的胜利击败了前州长库默（Andrew Cuomo），震惊了美国政坛。马姆达尼是一位自我认同的“民主社会主义者”，他的崛起不仅可能让他成为这个全球金融中心的第一位社会主义者市长，也标志着美国进步派运动取得了历史性的胜利。 从讨论“餐车通胀”（Halalflation），到娴熟地运用各种新媒体策略，Mamdani如何在短短数月内从民调个位数迅速攀升，赢得了这场看似不可能的选战？他提出的冻结租金、全民学前班等政策，在纽约这个贫富差距巨大的城市中获得了怎样的回响？当进步派的理想主义遇上纽约错综复杂的政治现实，他又将面临怎样的挑战？ 本期节目中，我们与身在布鲁克林的嘉宾小钟一起，深入剖析的马姆达尼的崛起之路，探讨这场选举背后纽约市的阶级、种族和代际政治变迁。 更正： 播客中提到AOC赢得初选为8年前，实际上是7年前 播客中引用了《纽约时报》的分析，提到18-24岁是初选中比例最大的群体，但此数据在录制之后进行了更正，显示25-34岁的选民所占比例更高。 播客文字稿（付费会员专享）：https://theamericanroulette.com/zohran-mamdani-nyc-mayor-cuomo-transcript 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 06:17 精英家庭出身的“草根”候选人马姆达尼 11:00 马姆达尼与AOC的相似之处 15:20 “社会主义者”标签的背后 17:33 Mamdani如何靠社交媒体赢得选战？ 25:31 谁在支持Mamdani？ 28:43 对变革的渴望：为何选民抛弃建制派？ 33:38 前州长库默为何输掉选举？ 45:07 马姆达尼的政策蓝图与可行性分析 51:17 理想主义 vs. 政治现实：马姆达尼执政将面临的挑战 57:37 进步派市长的执政困境 01:08:18 马姆达尼如何应对反犹指控 01:17:49 民主党与进步主义的未来与挑战 01:25:22 11月市长选举展望 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 小钟：布鲁克林居民 主播和嘉宾的言论不代表其所在机构或其雇主的观点。 【 What We Talked About】 In the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, a little-known 33-year-old State Assemblyman, Zohran Mamdani, defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo in a stunning upset victory, sending shockwaves through the American political establishment. Mamdani, a self-described 'democratic socialist,' whose rise not only positions him to potentially become the first socialist mayor of the global financial capital but also marks a historic victory for the American progressive movement. From discussing "Halalflation" to adeptly using a range of new media strategies, how did Mamdani, in just a few short months, surge from single digits in the polls to win a race that once seemed impossible? How did his proposals, such as a rent freeze and universal pre-K, resonate in a city marked by a vast wealth gap? And when progressive idealism meets the complex political realities of New York, what challenges lie ahead for him? In this episode, we're joined by our guest Zhong, who is based in Brooklyn, to do a deep dive into Mamdani's rise and discuss the shifting dynamics of class, race, and generational politics in New York City that this election has brought to the forefront. Corrections: In the episode, we mention that AOC's primary win was eight years ago. This was a slip of the tongue; it was actually seven years ago. The episode references a New York Times analysis indicating that the 18-24 age group was the largest demographic in the primary. This data was subsequently updated after our recording, showing that the 25-34 age group actually had a higher turnout.
