Season Seven of The Common Bridge features host Richard Helppie in an episode that concludes with foaming mayonnaise dispensers in this lighter, story-driven talk with Tony Award–winning actor Gregory Jbara and longtime friend, designer-turned-humorist Terence Duncan, celebrating Duncan's new book, Unfiltered Consciousness. This special episode leans heavily into Greg and Terry's reminisces about coming-of-age in blue collar Southeast Michigan. Rich attempts to guide a conversation but mostly promotes the notion that people everywhere should purchase this book. Hear this duo talk school plays, football mishaps, Great Lakes roadtrips and shared crushes. Duncan describes his book as a collection of brief, satirical “musings” on everyday absurdities—relationships, divorce, coffee habits, T‑shirts, car ads, and aging—each rooted in truth then exaggerated for comic effect. Jbara praises the honesty, humanity, and universal relatability of the pieces, noting how Duncan turns personal pain into cathartic comedy. Helppie underscores that this is a laugh-out-loud, highly giftable read for anyone wanting a break from divisive politics. Terence and Gregory will also appear at Silvio's Trattoria, 225 S. Canton Center, Canton, Michigan, on December 8th from 6:30–8:00 p.m for a book signing event! Great Christmas gift!Support the showEngage the conversation on Substack at The Common Bridge!

Are goldfish spreading across Canada? Can they survive winter? And what should we do about them? We also dig into a surprising new concern with round gobies and their link to botulism in birds, how smallmouth bass behave when ice forms, and why Ontario's salmon have dropped from forty pound giants to fish half the size. Grass carp updates, wildfire impacts, and a behind the scenes look at Canada's fishing tourism industry round out one of our most loaded episodes yet. If you fish the Great Lakes, chase bass, love salmon, or care about invasive species, this is the episode you cannot miss.
A late-November cold snap sent temperatures in Minneapolis so low that, for a short time, it was actually colder than Mars, according to readings from NASA's Curiosity rover. Mason County technical rescue teams were able to reach the driver hanging about 100 feet off the ground after he lost control and went over the edge of an overpass during snow and icy conditions. Dangerous snow squalls will sweep from the Great Lakes region to the Northeast states into Thursday evening, raising the risk of multiple vehicle accidents due to rapidly deteriorating conditions on the highways.

In this episode, the team dives deep into what deer camp really means tradition, fatherhood, mentorship, and the lessons that shape us as hunters and as men. Kyle shares how deer camp formed the foundation of his childhood, the place he learned to hunt, bond with his dad, and become part of something bigger than himself. The crew opens up about the importance of strong male role models, the value of outdoor traditions, and a heartbreaking story of a young boy whose excitement for opening day was crushed when his father didn't show. It's an honest reminder of what kids need from us commitment, presence, and guidance and how the outdoors can bring families together. In this Podcast we discuss: • The spiritual connection of harvesting your first deer • Generational lessons learned at deer camp • The decline of hunters in America and why it matters • The ethics of the shot, field care, and respecting the game • First-time duck hunting stories and learning moments • Wild game myths and why so many people think venison tastes bad • Vegan vs. hunter debates and the reality of where food comes from • Great Lakes water issues, pollution concerns • Behind-the-scenes insight into filming Wilderness Chronicles Watch Kyle debate a Vegan on the morality of hunting and eating meat: https://youtu.be/U3bxHVI3IMY?si=ym0PRQVL0VwFdzqZ Learn more about what Michigan's DNR is spending their budget on from State Rep Tom Kunsze: https://youtu.be/jGDa4KycJ_U?si=Z7Rm492ThH2Z8tYz Check out Kyle on Mike Avery's Outdoor Magazine Radio Show talking about youth hunting: https://mikeaveryoutdoors.libsyn.com/outdoor-magazine-radio-112225-0 Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenWayOutdoors/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenwayoutdoors/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegreenwayout?lang=en Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjR5r6WwXcPKK0xVldNT5_g Website: www.thegreenwayoutdoors.com Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: - HISTORY Follow us on: - Facebook - Instagram - Twitter - Youtube - Our Website
My guest this week is photography expert and co-host of the Petapixel podcast Chris Niccolls [28:39]. Chris has access to nearly every kind of expensive camera in the world because he evaluates photo equipment for his day job. But when he is fishing, guess what he takes most of his photographs and videos with? You guessed it—his iPhone. Chris shares tips on how to set up your shot, how to get a photograph and still have minimal fish handling, and what settings to use on your phone. He also gives great tips on setting up the scene so that your photos are better than just grip & grin snapshots. In the Fly Box this week, we have these questions and tips: You say Orvis fly rods are true to line weight but you say you use a line that is a half-size heavy. Why? With a fly line that is rated for colder water, is it OK to use it for the occasional largemouth bass fishing trip in warmer water? A tip from a listener on how to get an estimate of a fish's length and weight using AI. A tip from a listener on great places to fish close to Chicago. Can I get a rod that is suitable for carp and for large salmon in the Great Lakes? How can I target suckers on a fly rod? Would a leader with a long stiff butt and abrupt taper be a good one for fishing big Chubbies in western rivers? What do you think of double taper leaders? What are some fly fishing books form the 1960s and earlier that are still worth reading? A great tip from a listener on using hockey laces for wading boots. A tip from a listener on a hot fly to use in the Driftless Region during the winter. Is there a trick for fly casting in rough seas?
After 45 years together, the Canadian band Rheostatics decided they needed a new challenge. So they enlisted the help of Rush's Alex Lifeson, who joined them for four hours as they improvised music and spoken word pieces inspired by the Great Lakes. The only problem is they forgot to hit record. Dave Bidini and Kevin Hearn of Rheostatics sit down with Tom Power to tell us what happened next, and how it all led to their new album, “The Great Lakes Suite.”
Entamoeba histolytica nearly ended Ron Blutrich's scientific career. Instead, it pushed him to rethink how we protect people in multi-family buildings, senior facilities, and dense urban centers from invisible microbiological risks in their drinking water. In this episode, he joins host Trace Blackmore to unpack what whole-building UV can (and can't) do for Legionella, biofilm, and real-world water safety. When One Bad Cup of Water Redefines a Career In the middle of his PhD in molecular genetics, Ron drank from an under-sink reverse osmosis tap at an Airbnb and contracted Entamoeba histolytica. The infection triggered more than three years of severe gastrointestinal symptoms and a 100-pound weight loss, despite being "clinically cured." That experience—and the lack of clear answers—led him to dig into how governments, utilities, and buildings actually manage microbiological risk in water. He discovered that even in urban centers, there is "a lot left to be desired" in monitoring, guidelines, and the epidemiology of waterborne disease. UV at the Point of Entry: Why Medium Pressure Matters Ron explains why he chose UV as the primary disinfection tool for CLEAR's whole-building solutions. He contrasts conventional filters (carbon, RO, media) that remove contaminants but do not kill biology with UV systems that directly target DNA and other cellular structures. He walks through the differences between low-pressure and medium-pressure UV, including temperature independence for hot water recirculation and the broader wavelength spectrum that can damage DNA, proteins, membranes, and even DNA repair enzymes. That same technology is being used for multicellular control in marine environments, ballast water, and mollusk control, and Ron argues it is uniquely suited to domestic hot water systems facing Legionella and biofilm. Legionella, Biofilm, and the Limits of "Good Enough" Drawing from CLEAR's field work, Ron describes how often Legionella shows up in single homes, condos, and new buildings, and how standard practices typically focus on remediation and short-term clearance instead of long-term prevention. He highlights the gap between ASHRAE 188's recommendations for hot water temperatures and real constraints in senior housing, where anti-scalding concerns keep tanks too cool to reliably control Legionella. He also shares stories of property managers and public agencies reluctant to test because they lack cost-effective treatment options or don't want to confront what the data might show. Scaling UV from Towers to Single Homes Ron walks through why conventional media and RO systems don't scale well to large towers—footprint, cost, and pressure loss—and how CLEAR instead installs inline UV systems at the point of entry. These systems can handle up to roughly 2,000 gallons per minute, require minimal head loss, and are designed as a single point of installation and service. From there, he explains how his team layered on monitoring and a tenant-facing dashboard so that properties can see UV dose, transmittance, and flow in real time, and service can be triggered based on performance instead of fixed schedules. He also discusses emerging opportunities in UV LEDs and next-generation media that could make fully comprehensive point-of-entry treatment feasible in more buildings. For leaders responsible for building portfolios, senior living, or high-density residential properties, this conversation offers a rigorous look at what it really takes to move from "we hope the water is fine" to a defensible, data-backed stance on microbiological safety.

It turns out that Legionella is extremely susceptible to UV. Legionella can be reduced almost 6 logs with most conventional UV systems" - Ron Blutrich "So, at this point, our UV systems, it's an inline system. It's basically a section of pipe that happens to disinfect the water going through it. It's a single point of installation, a single point of service.

The average lake around the world is about the size of a large parking lot – the kind of thing you might try to skip a stone across. The current World Record for stone skipping is 88 skips. If you were to skip a stone across the lake we're visiting today, it would have to beat that number by about 406, 912 and it would be bouncing across the water for about three hours.On today's episode: You'll learn about the most boat-hungry lakes anywhere in the world; you'll see why you would rather be beaten half-to-death in the face with a bat than visit the site of today story; and you'll find out how a cherished keepsake from our tale was recovered by a nightmarish bright orange, alien-shaped robot monster made out of airplane-grade aluminum.And because you are listening on Patreon… you will figure out if flat-earthers are just the dumbest people in the world or the dumbest people in history; you will get to walk through the deadliest things to ever happen on the Greatest Lake system in the world; and you will hear a sode inside a sode about a storm from 1913 so powerful than when they needed a name they settled on “Great”.We can only barely understand how frightening today's story must have been for the men who were lost and the families they left behind. I feel a real responsibility to tell their stories with accuracy and respect knowing there are real people out there connected to the story and still wounded by it. That said, outside of calling the ship the Eddy Fitz one time, and then the way I give description to the indescribable physical hell you'd experience if you grabbed a snorkel and tried to visit the site of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, I think maintained a definite air of respect during this episode. You'd be honestly surprised at how many people were so deeply touched and effected by the event. Sorry for sounding so gloomy at the end, but sometimes I get bummed out. Not as bummed as the families of those lost on Gitchi Goomie mind you. With all that said, there are only two more episodes in the year, but they are really something. We'll be having our least nauseating visit to Victorian England in search of outdoor entertainment. And the last episode is our return to the Disaster Moviesode format by popular demand. The last time we did one, it was the 1998 Michael Bay schlocktacular “Armageddon” – a movie so bereft of sense or scientific consideration, they used it at NASA as a test to see how many things you could find wrong with it. Well, this time, we have a film so preposterous, it makes Armageddon look misunderstood. And it contains within it's 2 hours and 15 minute running time almost every type of disaster, except ironically, asteroids. It's the 2003 Aaron Eckhart movie, “The Core”, and I know you're going to like it. I saw it in the theatre, and I certainly didn't.If you like what you hear today, why not consider becoming a supporter of the show at Patreon.com/FuneralKazoo AD-FREE EPISODES, LONGER EPISODES, EXTRA CONTENT, all that good stuff (I'm truly sorry about those ads, I don't get to control them or their placement).

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! It's 1975 again, and we're back with our cornucopia episode for Part 15 of our mini-series, exploring five pivotal events from this turbulent year. We begin with the haunting story of the Edmund Fitzgerald, the massive Great Lakes freighter that vanished beneath the waves of Lake Superior, sparking investigations, folklore, and one of the most enduring maritime mysteries in American history. From there, we turn to the U.S. Supreme Court, where Justice William O. Douglas, the longest-serving justice in history, stepped down after more than three decades on the bench. His retirement closed a chapter of sweeping judicial influence and opened the door to a new era in constitutional law. Across the Atlantic, Spain faced a turning point of its own with the death of Francisco Franco, the dictator who ruled for nearly 40 years. His passing set in motion the country's transition toward democracy—an uncertain and delicate transformation that reshaped Europe. We also revisit the political drama of the "Halloween Massacre," the sweeping reshuffle within the Ford administration that altered the trajectory of the presidency, reshaped national security leadership, and left Washington insiders stunned. Finally, we lighten things up with a cultural milestone: the launch of Good Morning America, a morning show experiment that grew into a broadcast institution, influencing the rhythms of American mornings for decades. Join us as we explore the stories behind these events, the people at the center of them, and the broader forces that made 1975 a year worth revisiting.

Following a shooting near the White House earlier this week, authorities have confirmed that National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom has died. A second soldier, Andrew Wolfe, remains in critical condition. The attack has renewed scrutiny of immigration policy. The administration has ordered a review of all green cards from so-called “countries of concern,” including Afghanistan.At least 128 people are now confirmed dead in Hong Kong's Wang Fuk Court fire, one of the city's deadliest disasters in generations. Rescuers are still combing the burned high-rises, with around 200 residents unaccounted for, as investigators examine how renovation materials and faulty alarms may have fueled the fast-moving inferno. Officials say the fire engulfed seven of the eight residential towers after bamboo scaffolding and renovation materials fueled the flames.A powerful winter storm is poised to disrupt post-Thanksgiving travel across the Northern Plains, the Upper Midwest, and into the Great Lakes. Forecasters warn snow could spread as early as Friday and intensify through the weekend, creating hazardous road conditions and ushering in a sharp drop in temperatures.
A high-impact storm that will stretch from the Rockies to the Great Lakes this weekend, bringing heavy snow ice and severe weather to more than a dozen states — and major travel disruptions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Watch the Devotion Based on Philippians 1:3-6 Thank You Since this is Thanksgiving weekend, I want to pause and reflect on the past year. The mission of WELS Ministry to the Military is to make Word and sacrament available to our actively serving military members and their families. To carry out this mission, the Wisconsin Synod provides financial support for 25 percent of our operating expenses. The other 75 percent comes from generous gifts from you. This past year WELS Ministry to the Military received $154,000 in gifts. Thank you! Your generosity and the work we do together as a synod reminds me of the apostle Paul's words to the Christians in Philippi: “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:3-6). Because of your generosity this past year, I was able to travel to 10 duty stations (including one aircraft carrier and 3 duty stations overseas), 16 congregations, 3 high schools, and 2 grade schools. This included a trip to Okinawa this past January where we led a retreat for service members who came from Guam, Japan, South Korea, and Okinawa. Because of your generosity, our office mailed 130 Spiritual Deployment Kits to service members around the world, not to mention a number of hymnals, catechisms, and devotion books. Thanks to you, 135 new referrals came in through our website. We were able to train seven Distinctive Religious Group Leaders to lead Bible study and worship in places we can't be. Five more are being trained right now. I want to say thank you to our European chaplain, Rob Weiss, and his wife, Rachel, for their faithful, dedicated service all over Europe: Spain, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and Poland. Thank you to the WELS pastors, teachers, and staff ministers who encourage and support our military service members, who show compassion and care to the family members when their service member is away from home. Thank you to all the grade schools, pastors' and teachers' conferences, and churches who adopted our ministry for their mission offering designation. Thank you to the WELS pastors and lay leaders who serve as contacts at numerous duty stations around the country, especially those who take extra time to visit our young people during basic training. I'd like to highlight Hope in Irmo, S.C., for serving Fort Jackson; Immanuel in Waukegan, Ill., for serving Great Lakes; Our Savior in San Antonio, Texas, for serving Lackland Air Force Base; and Risen Savior in Chula Vista, Calif., for serving Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD). At MCRD Pastor Paul Schulz leads the Lutheran service on Sunday mornings. This past year the Holy Spirit blessed Pastor Schulz' efforts with an average Sunday worship attendance of 47 recruits, and he was privileged to baptize 25 Marine Corps recruits. Thank you to the congregations in the Colorado Springs area for adopting Air Force cadets at the Academy and being their home away from home. Thank you to the Lutheran Military Support Group (LMSG) for their partnership. Because of their generosity, we led a Military Contact Pastor workshop near Hill Air Force Base in Layton, Utah, this past May. The LMSG also provided professional Christian counseling for active duty service members, veterans, and their dependents. I am grateful for our working relationship with WELS Campus Ministry. They have been helpful in identifying high school graduates pursuing ROTC or the National Guard and referring them to our ministry. Thank you to Michigan Lutheran Seminary who reached out to us, wanting to partner and provide a stable high school experience for high school-age students of our service members. I am grateful to the members and staff at Reformation Lutheran Church and School here in San Diego, where my wife teaches and we are members. You have been a huge support for our family. I want to say thank to the team that works behind the scenes to publish these devotions, for posting on our social media and website. You are so patient with me! I want to thank my Military Services Committee family: Paul, Joel, Holly, Josh, Dave, Ryan, Rob, Rachel, and Dale. It is a joy working with you. From me personally, I want to thank you for your small tokens of appreciation. The challenge coins, squadron caps and patches, letters, e-mails, and text messages—this is all so humbling and encouraging. And I am grateful for all of you every day for this partnership in the gospel. I ask that you continue to keep WELS Ministry to the Military in your prayers so that together we might reach more of our nation's service members with Word and sacrament. Have a happy Thanksgiving.

We sit down with Ron Starner, executive vice president of Conway Data and a leading voice at Site Selection magazine, to unpack the data, discipline and real-world tradeoffs behind corporate expansion and economic development.Ron traces his path from a scrappy small-town newsroom to steering award-winning coverage for a global C-suite audience. He explains how the Conway Projects Database—built over four decades—anchors every ranking and feature, with clear thresholds for jobs, capital and square footage. No favorites, no spin, just verified projects and credible outside data.

Two National Guardsmen are in critical condition after being shot near the White House on Wednesday in what officials are calling a targeted attack. The suspect, an Afghan national, was wounded and taken into custody. President Donald Trump and National Guard leaders offered prayers for the victims. Meanwhile, the Trump administration halted all immigration processing for Afghan nationals pending new security reviews.Millions are expected at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, and New York City is ramping up security to keep them safe. Mayor Eric Adams is urging parade-goers to stay alert. The NYPD Commissioner said there are no known credible threats, but thousands of officers, drones, K-9 units, and emergency teams will line the route, with social media monitored in real time.Forecasters are warning that a powerful storm system will blanket the Northern Plains and Great Lakes with heavy snow over the holiday, and that a second storm system is brewing in the Pacific Northwest.

The storms are threatening one of the busiest travel weekends on record, as more than 80 million Americans are expected to hit the roads and skies for Thanksgiving.
Send us a textIn this episode, pro angler Matt Becker breaks down exactly how to catch winter bass on highland reservoirs across the Southeast. Matt grew up fishing the Great Lakes and glacial lakes in Pennsylvania for smallmouth before relocating to Tennessee, where he now fishes TVA fisheries and deep, clear mountain reservoirs.We dig into how winter bass position in highland reservoirs, how shad and baitfish change their behavior, the best winter structure to target, and how Matt uses forward-facing sonar, finesse presentations, and power techniques to locate big spotted bass, smallmouth, and largemouth in cold water.
The primary focus of this podcast episode is the severe winter weather conditions affecting the upper Midwest and Great Lakes region, which are anticipated to create hazardous travel scenarios during the holiday period. The National Weather Service has issued blizzard and winter storm warnings, particularly for parts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, with expectations of dangerous travel due to whiteouts and wind gusts reaching 40 to 50 miles per hour. Additionally, heavy lake effect snow is forecasted through Thanksgiving, while other regions, such as Hawaii, have experienced seismic activity, including a magnitude 4.6 earthquake. Furthermore, it is essential for residents affected by Typhoon Halong in Alaska to be aware of impending deadlines for federal assistance, specifically noting that they have until December 22 to apply for aid. This episode serves to inform listeners of critical weather updates and safety recommendations in light of these significant meteorological events.Takeaways:* The National Weather Service has issued blizzard and winter storm warnings for Michigan's Upper Peninsula, indicating severe weather conditions. * Travel during the holiday season may be perilous due to blizzard conditions, with whiteouts and gusts reaching 40 to 50 miles per hour. * It is crucial for residents in affected areas to apply for disaster assistance by December 22, to secure necessary support. * Heavy lake effect snow is anticipated through Thanksgiving, yet minimal flood risk is expected nationwide, as per the Weather Prediction Center. * The recent earthquake in Hawaii was recorded at a magnitude of 4.6, but no tsunami warning has been issued for this inland quake. * Various states are experiencing winter weather warnings, particularly in the northern regions, with significant snowfall projected.

As certified Midwesterners living in the Great Lakes region, we couldn't let the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald pass without dedicating an episode to her (we're pretty sure they'd kick us out if we did). Because despite being one of the most famous shipwrecks of all time, the exact reason for the loss of the Mighty Fitz to the icy depths of Lake Superior remains a tragic, but fascinating, mystery. Was the great ship cursed from the get-go due to her tainted, bad-luck launch? Did she break apart at the surface or slam into the bottom? Why did Captain McSorley never send out a distress call?

Communities across the Midwest are navigating a complex mix of water challenges—from affordability to agricultural pollution to protecting iconic national parks—and the policies shaping those outcomes. In this episode, Crystal Davis, Senior Midwest Regional Director for the National Parks Conservation Association, discusses how regional advocacy, coalition building, and community-driven organizing are advancing solutions across 11 states and 53 park sites. She highlights efforts to strengthen park funding, reauthorize the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, and address pollution pressures in places like Lake Erie. Davis also explains how the Midwest is building multi-sector coalitions to push for equitable access to water and nature, elevating voices typically excluded from environmental decision-making. She shares lessons from Healing Our Waters, a 180-member coalition driving federal and state reforms, and outlines why authentic engagement—not box-checking—is essential for lasting progress. Her work underscores how unified advocacy across communities, businesses, tribes, and frontline organizations is shaping a more equitable and resilient future for parks and water in the Great Lakes region.This episode is part of the Color of Water series, a collaboration with the Water Hub. waterloop is a nonprofit news outlet exploring solutions for water sustainability.
