"I feel like before I have the confidence to write in the way that I want to write, where I really own the material, I have to spend so much time with people. I will say at the outset, once I walk someone through what it's going to involve after they say yes to talking to me, I'll say I'm going to be around a lot and you're going to get sick of me," says Pamela Colloff, author of Catch the Devil.Today's guest, I mean, wow, from the bottom of the diaphragm up, wow. It's Pamela Colloff. You know her from her National Magazine Award winning work for Texas Monthly and ProPublica/The New York Times Magazine. She's THE premier investigative reporter in the country and she's now the author of Catch the Devil: A True Story of Murder, Deception, and Injustice on the Gulf Coast. It's published by Knopf.This book upends what you think a true crime story is about where the true villain isn't a person at all. It chronicles, among others, Paul Skalnik, a jailhouse snitch, whose non-credible testimony places numerous men on death row, Jim Dailey, in particular, and Pamela takes us through this riveting narrative and punishing commentary on capital punishment and why Florida seems hellbent on being No. 1 in executions.Here's just a slice of what Pam is about: She is a two-time National Magazine Award winner, once for reporting and once for feature writing. Her work has been adapted for narrative and documentary films including Tower, which was short-listed in 2016 for an Oscar. Her work has been anthologized in Best American Magazine Writing, Best American Crime Reporting, and Next Wave: America's New Generation of Great Literary Journalists. She joined ProPublica/The New York Times Magazine in 2017 after many years at Texas Monthly. Listen, I could go on. You get the gist.In this episode, we talk about: What drew her to Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson Speaking with Tom Junod The Boys Club of longform writing Her start at Texas Monthly Being a journalism dork The elation and despair How every story is a Rubix cube The Skip Hollandsworth Method Owning the material Knowing when to quote and when not to Idea generation Writing is hard How magazine writing and book writing are different animals Why Catch the Devil is her now-or-never moment Beginnings are the worst Being more disciplined with a book vs. magazine writing Writing in this attention economyPair this episode with Ep. 255 with Maddy Crowell and Ep. 414 with John Rosengren, and many other Atavist true crimey pods, too many to mention here. I'd also chuck in Ep. 224 with Patrick Radden Keefe. He'll be back on the show for the paperback run of London Calling.

Over the past 18 months, Gulf Coast dock capacity capable of handling either LPG or ethane has grown significantly. It's something relatively new called “flex capacity,” and it's a darned good thing it's online. Without it, both LPG and ethane export capacity would already be maxed out.

Torrential rain slammed central Texas for the third day in a row, triggering dangerous flash floods in parts of the region. The same storm system also spun up a tornado near San Antonio. Millions of people in the U.S. are under air quality alerts across parts of the Midwest and Northeast due to heavy smoke burning from dozens of wildfires primarily in Ontario, Canada. Roger Bennett, founder and CEO of Men in Blazers Media Network, breaks down Argentina's thrilling win against England and what to expect from the World Cup final on Sunday when the defending champions take on Spain.The parents of Nolan Wells and their legal team say they've received some assurances about the thoroughness of the investigation into the 18-year-old's death. Wells was last seen on July 4 on a boating trip to Horn Island, which is 10 miles from Mississippi's Gulf Coast. GPS data reveals the movements of the boat before and after Wells' disappearance. Skyler Henry has more.The Navy's elite Blue Angels are investigating after a low flyover during an event in Pensacola, Florida. One of the jets came barreling so low over the beach that it sent sand, chairs and tents flying. Tom Hanson reports.Should you let artificial intelligence manage your money? While AI might be able to help you come up with a budget, experts say there are risks. CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger explains.Cape Verde's goalie Josimar José Évora Dias, known as Vozinha, talks with "CBS Mornings" about the team's inspiring run in the World Cup. The tiny country was playing in the tournament for the first time. Vozinha describes his unexpected rise to fame, challenges to becoming a professional player and his future in soccer.

Paul Skalnik was a cop turned con artist turned jailhouse informant. Over two decades, he provided testimony or information in more than 40 criminal cases, trading confessions he claimed to have overheard for reduced sentences and early release. Prosecutors in Florida's Pinellas County knew what he was. They used him anyway. Four of the men he testified against were sent to death row. At least one of them, Jim Dailey, is almost certainly innocent — and after more than 30 years, he's still there.Journalist Pam Colloff spent 20 years at Texas Monthly before joining ProPublica and the New York Times Magazine, where her investigation into Skalnik won the National Magazine Award and helped halt an execution. In this episode, Pam tells the story of a con man who married nine women, posed as an oilman, a lawyer, and an FBI agent — and discovered that his most profitable scam was the criminal justice system itself.Pam Colloff's new book is "Catch the Devil: A True Story of Murder, Deception, and Injustice on the Gulf Coast" https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593230868?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallbackSubscribe to our newsletter: ⁠https://jedlipinski.substack.com/⁠ Connect with Jed Lipinski:⁠https://www.instagram.com/gonesouthpodcast/⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/gonesouthpodcast/⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jed-lipinski/

Jim dives deep into the shadowy world of the Dixie Mafia—the ruthless Southern crime network that terrorized the Gulf Coast with drugs, gambling, corruption, and murder. From their strongholds in Biloxi, Mississippi, and operations reaching into Louisiana, these loosely connected criminals operated with impunity for decades. At the heart of the story is one of their most infamous schemes: the "Lonely Hearts" scam run straight from Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. Dixie Mafia kingpin Kirksey Nix Jr., serving life for murder, orchestrated the massive extortion racket from behind bars. The money flowed through a Biloxi law firm, but when funds went missing, Nix's paranoia led to a deadly betrayal. His alleged associates, including lawyer-turned-mayor Pete Halat, allegedly pointed the finger at Halat's law partner, Circuit Court Judge Vincent Sherry, and his wife, prominent Biloxi city councilwoman Margaret Sherry. On September 14, 1987, a hitman executed the couple in their own home in a cold-blooded double murder ordered from Angola. We'll unpack the Louisiana ties—the web of corruption that protected the Dixie Mafia, the investigation that finally brought down key players like Nix, Halat, and others, and the shocking betrayals that exposed it all. This is a tale of greed, deception, prison power, and how one scam shattered lives on the Gulf Coast.Chapters:04:55 Crime and Corruption09:02 Carnival Massacre20:27 Violence Expands24:45 Gillich's Rise25:55 Lonely Hearts Scam34:11 Murder Over Missing Money36:28 The Sherry Double Murder43:16 Federal Trial Unfolds47:33 Aftermath and LegacyExposed Listener Deals!

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 07/11/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth and neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS This week, we analyze the global enforcement of institutional deception, judicial manipulation, and targeted state terror: 1. **The Nolan Wells Horn Island Tragedy:** We dissect the horrific case of 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells, found dead on Mississippi's Gulf Coast after an outing where he was the only Black individual present. We deconstruct the deceptive media framing and law enforcement tactics attempting to label the death an accidental drowning, analyzing how the system coordinates to insulate surviving white peers from accountability. #WhiteFriends 2. **The Sabotage of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA):** Marking the 60th anniversary of this landmark transparency law, we look at the federal government's aggressive campaign to block document disclosure. We link this structural obstruction directly to Gus T's recent, stalled FOIA requests regarding the surveillance and tracking of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing and Neely Fuller Jr., revealing how the state systematically hides records to suppress counter-racist intelligence. 3. **Exoneration Hypocrisy and Judicial Realities:** We analyze Kansas City and NPR reports detailing the extreme structural hurdles wrongfully convicted inmates face when trying to access basic post-conviction resources. We contrast this systemic stagnation with the legacy of privileged black male Philando Castile a decade after his murder, demonstrating how the legal apparatus protects its agents while actively denying restoration to victims of judicial warfare. 4. **Chemical Contamination and Narrative Warfare:** We decode global reports—from the suppression of "super" cannabis imports entering England to the rolling back of firearms regulations and weaponized accusations of "extreme political activism" targeting the Smithsonian. We apply counter-racist logic to show how legislative rollbacks, chemical distribution, and cultural propaganda are managed concurrently to maintain structural dominance over non-white populations. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #CounterRacism #MediaLiteracy #NolanWells #TheCOWS INVEST in The COWS: - PayPal: [http://paypal.me/TheCOWS](http://paypal.me/TheCOWS) - Cash App: [https://cash.app/$TheCOWS](https://cash.app/$TheCOWS) #SurviveYourShift #SafetyFirst #TheCOWS17Years #CounterRacism Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report is hosted by Capt. Tanner Deas of Dauphin Island Fishing, with reports from Capt. Derek Rogers of Southside Fishing Company, Capt. Kendall Annan of Gulf Rebel Charters, and Riley Ludlam of Dauphin Island Fishing Charters. Capt. Derek kicks things off with a Dauphin Island inshore report, covering a strong speckled trout bite, how he's using live shrimp, croakers, slip corks, free-lined baits, Carolina rigs, and plastics, and why small rigging changes can make a big difference when trout get picky. He also breaks down redfish, flounder, and triple tail tactics, including live pogies, dead shrimp, structure, dirty water, and why some bigger triple tail are starting to get more stubborn as summer pressure builds. Capt. Kendall follows with an offshore report from Gulf Rebel Charters, where snapper, vermillion snapper, amberjack, mahi, wahoo, Spanish mackerel, and king mackerel are all part of the current pattern. He explains why fresh bait, clean rigs, long leaders, drift lines, trolling spreads, and paying attention to small details can be the difference between a solid trip and a great one. Riley closes it out with a beach report from Dauphin Island, where dirty water, sharks, catfish, and changing surf conditions have made the trout bite tougher, but flounder have been saving trips. He breaks down how he's finding flounder around structure, why moving water has been key, and why Z-Man plastics, Eye Strike Texas Eye jig heads, and Pro-Cure continue to be his go-to flounder setup.

For most of 2026, the story at the Waha hub in West Texas was a grim one of negative pricing, with Permian producers paying offtakers to clear out their natural gas. The narrative flipped in mid-June when Kinder Morgan's Gulf Coast Express Pipeline expansion came online, propelling prices back to positive territory. As the market balances the first in what is expected to be a massive wave of pipeline capacity additions against an evolving, gassier production mix, the big question remains: Has the notorious Permian boom-and-bust cycle finally met its match? In this episode of Hub & Flow, NGI sits down with East Daley Analytics Senior Director Jack Weixel to unpack the structural shifts redefining West Texas energy infrastructure. The conversation covers how systems, such as the Blackcomb and Matterhorn Express pipelines, are extending Waha's fuse, why skyrocketing data center demand and LNG expansions mean producers are suddenly “playing with house money,” and how a lack of storage infrastructure could still trigger regional operational chaos during a major Gulf Coast storm.

Clay, joined by Creston Burch, breaks down the conflicting narratives, the rush to blame "racism," the reality of river/boating culture, "no man left behind" myths, and why some are determined to see racism on the death certificate no matter what the autopsy reveals. **Hour 1:** Clay and Creston Burch discuss the suspicious reactions, cultural differences in how friends handle leaving parties, pill/fentanyl risks, and the absurdity of "bleached" white liberals claiming Black identity to agree with common sense takes. **Hour 2:** Creston Burch returns alongside January 6 survivor and retired Clinton PD officer Tommy Tatum. They tackle Jackson's latest proposed crime-fighting strategies — more cameras, license plate readers, gunshot detection, etc. — and debate surveillance vs. freedom, constitutional rights, government overreach, police corruption, and why high-crime areas see things differently. Plus, January 6 footage drops, USAID/rap music conspiracies, and more unfiltered truth. Clay also covers meatloaf Wednesday at Blue Plate, Cypress Point Resort specials, sponsor shoutouts, and the usual no-holds-barred takedown of Jackson's dysfunction. **Stream the full show now** on YouTube, Rumble, X, Facebook, or the WYAB audio stream.  Text the show: (769) 241-1944 Sponsored in part by Live Better Men's Health & Wellness, Anglin Plumbing, Shelter Insurance (Jamie Creel), Ellis Autoplex, and more. #ClayEdwardsShow #NolanWells #JacksonMS #SaveJXN #UnfilteredTalkRadio Turn up the volume and get the reality check your morning drive needs.

When photographer Micah Green and writer Kayla Greene chose to dedicate their talents to independent community journalism, they embraced a mission that extends far beyond reporting the day's events. Through their work producing several weekly and regional newspapers serving Baldwin County along Alabama's Gulf Coast, they combine photography, reporting, and editing to document the lives of the people and places that define their community. At a time when local journalism faces shrinking advertising revenues, declining readership, and consolidation by large media companies, they have invested in something many have written off: independent community newspapers. Their partnership demonstrates that local journalism is about far more than delivering the news. It's about creating a sense of place, preserving the stories of ordinary people, and strengthening the connections that hold communities together. Together, their work serves as a powerful reminder that photography and writing are at their best when they work in concert—documenting a community's history while helping shape its future.

Employment Remains on Solid Ground Employment continues to be one of the most important indicators for both the economy and the stock market. A healthy labor market means more people are earning income, saving, investing, and contributing to overall economic growth. Those factors typically create greater demand for investment assets and provide support for stock prices. Conversely, rising unemployment often leads consumers to spend savings rather than invest, placing pressure on financial markets. The Federal Reserve closely monitors employment data when making interest rate decisions, making each monthly jobs report an important release for investors. However, it’s important to understand that the headline jobs report is based largely on surveys, making it what economists refer to as “soft data.” Because it relies on estimates from survey respondents rather than complete reporting, the data is often revised in subsequent months. The latest report was encouraging overall. More jobs were created than lost, the unemployment rate declined, and wage growth remained healthy at 3.5% year over year. While average hours worked declined slightly, rising wages combined with fewer hours worked still represents a positive development for workers. One surprising detail within the report was a decline in leisure and hospitality employment. Given the increased tourism and temporary hiring associated with the World Cup, many economists believe this portion of the report may ultimately be revised higher. To gain a clearer picture of labor market conditions, it helps to compare the survey-based data with “hard data,” such as initial unemployment claims. Unlike survey estimates, unemployment claims are based on actual filings submitted through state unemployment offices and are generally considered more reliable. Initial jobless claims have remained relatively stable throughout the year, while continuing unemployment claims have gradually declined. Together, these indicators reinforce the view that the labor market remains stable, not overheating, but not weakening either. A stable employment environment supports continued wage growth, consumer spending, savings, and investment activity. Those trends create a constructive backdrop for financial markets heading into the second half of the year. Corporate Earnings Will Drive the Next Phase of the Market Strong corporate earnings have been one of the primary drivers behind the stock market’s performance this year, and they are expected to remain a major theme throughout the remainder of the year. Corporate America has consistently exceeded expectations, helping fuel market gains. As a result, analysts have steadily raised earnings forecasts throughout the year. Earnings per share (EPS), a measure of how much profit a company generates for each outstanding share of stock, has seen meaningful upward revisions after remaining relatively flat throughout much of 2025. While this reflects confidence in the strength of American businesses, it also raises the bar. Investors will be watching closely to see whether companies can continue delivering results that justify today’s elevated expectations. Another important metric to monitor is operating margins. Markets are currently pricing in record profit margins over the coming year. If companies continue operating efficiently while maintaining strong profitability, stocks could continue benefiting from solid earnings growth. However, if expectations prove too optimistic, investors should be prepared for periods of increased market volatility. With midterm election uncertainty also entering the picture, earnings season will likely play an even larger role in determining market direction during the second half of the year. Why Gas Prices Haven’t Fallen as Fast as Oil Prices Although oil prices have retreated following the recent conflict in the Middle East, many drivers have noticed that gasoline prices have not fallen nearly as quickly. The explanation lies in how gasoline is produced, distributed, and taxed. The United States consumes more than 130 billion gallons of gasoline each year—more than any other country in the world. While crude oil prices rose sharply during the conflict and have since moved lower, retail gasoline prices typically respond more slowly. Gasoline is a refined petroleum product, meaning the cost of crude oil represents only one portion of the final price consumers pay at the pump. Refining costs, transportation expenses, distribution, and taxes all contribute to the total cost per gallon. As crude oil prices climbed, gasoline prices gradually followed. Now that crude prices have declined to levels closer to where they were earlier this year, gasoline prices are expected to follow, but historically, they tend to lag. Assuming geopolitical tensions do not escalate again, motorists could begin seeing more relief as the summer progresses and into the fall. Regional price differences also illustrate how much additional costs affect gasoline prices. States throughout the South and Midwest generally enjoy some of the nation’s lowest gasoline prices due to their proximity to Gulf Coast refineries. Meanwhile, states such as California, Washington, Hawaii, Nevada, and Oregon typically experience significantly higher prices. While crude oil costs are essentially the same nationwide, higher state taxes, increased transportation expenses, and greater distribution costs contribute to substantially higher prices at the pump. In Hawaii, for example, distribution costs alone exceed the cost of refining the gasoline. Understanding these components helps explain why gasoline prices often remain elevated even after oil prices begin to fall.

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers a strong Fourth of July bite across the Alabama Gulf Coast, along with some important safety reminders about night running, heavy current, floating debris, dirty water, and holiday boat traffic. Butch Thierry is joined by Dylan Kiene, who helps frame a wide-ranging report that moves from tarpon and surf fishing to speckled trout, triple tail, swordfish, tuna, and nearshore snapper. Chris Vecsey of J&M Tackle starts the show with an Orange Beach report, explaining how strong current and dirty water have made tarpon fishing tougher, especially for fly anglers, but how live bait, swim baits, and carefully watching fish behavior can still pay off. He also breaks down a productive swordfish trip, including bait choice, depth, current, squid and octopus tentacles, and why the full moon in June can be so good for swords. Capt. Richard Rutland of Cold Blooded Fishing follows with a detailed speckled trout and triple tail report, covering topwater trout, Slick Juniors, Little John XLs, wade-fishing structure, nervous mullet, beach contours, crab catching, fresh water intrusion, tide lines, floating debris, and how to sight fish triple tail when the bay is stained. To close it out, Cody Broughton checks in from Dauphin Island with offshore updates on green water, swordfish, tuna, mahi, pomfret, and a surprisingly strong snapper bite on public and nearshore reefs. It's a full Gulf Coast report with plenty of practical tactics for anglers fishing through heat, holiday traffic, and changing water conditions.

We are in the middle of the year, and that means that it's time for our mid-year risk review with two of my favorite people, Morgan O'Rourke, RIMS Vice President of Content & Publications, and Hilary Tuttle, Managing Editor of RIMS Risk Management Magazine.  [3:14] Morgan and Hilary are joining us today to discuss some of the highlights of the Q2 Edition of RIMS Risk Management Magazine, which is available now. [3:21] We're going to talk about hurricane preparedness, reputation, red-teaming, AI, and other emerging trends that risk professionals should be aware of, avoiding, and embracing. We're going to have a lot of fun! Let's get to it! [3:35] Interview! Morgan O'Rourke and Hilary Tuttle, Welcome Back to RIMScast! [3:42] Justin mentions that the Publications Department is a team of five. After nine years, Justin is still the second-newest person. [4:29] Morgan says Risk Management Magazine has articles going up every week. Every quarter, they have a digital issue, reminiscent of a physical magazine, with pages and a table of contents. When this episode is released, the Q2 digital issue was published a week ago. [4:54] RIMS Risk Management Magazine has occasional special issues, on ERM and the Special RISKWORLD Awards Issue. Hilary says the Editor's Picks are articles you may have missed on the website. Morgan says it's sometimes new stuff, or archival stuff that's still relevant. [5:30] Morgan says they try to publish in a frequency and format that everybody can appreciate. Morgan and Hilary miss the physical print magazine. Justin thinks they've maintained the essence of the print magazine. Morgan says that's what the digital magazines are meant to do. [6:22] Morgan says print is not necessarily the way that everybody consumes things nowadays, so you've got to be where everybody's attention is, and that's what we're trying to do. [6:40] The Marquee article in the Q2 digital edition is Hilary's coverage of the 2026 hurricane season outlook. Hilary is well-versed in hurricane preparedness and seasonal outlooks. Hilary says this year, a lot of the forecasts are calling for a below-average season. [7:26] This year, Hilary focused on factors that will make the season different. She focused on macroeconomic volatility, geopolitical instability, and U.S. Federal budget cuts as some of the biggest complications this year that are making a fragile and challenging recovery landscape. [8:03] Hilary says we talk about increased prices in disaster materials, preparation materials, supply problems, and a Federal support system characterized by defunding or dysfunction, and what that means for risk managers tasked with hurricane preparation or recovery. [8:43] Hilary says, looking beyond the forecast, it's important to assess how your resilience strategy is going to hold up in practice. Even a single landfall is going to be more expensive, potentially. The cost may be higher than ever. Response materials are 40% more expensive. [9:28] Justin says we had a risk engineer from Global Risk Consultants on the show recently, talking about the physical preparations, 48 hours, 36 hours, and 24 hours before an impact. [9:56] Hilary says, between materials shortages and price increases, the supply chain is potentially going to be a huge problem for disaster preparation and responses. Getting things is difficult with the Strait of Hormuz closed. People are seeing it across industries and materials. [10:22] Some response materials are also going to be more expensive because of the increased cost of oil. Hilary found that interesting when reporting the piece. Generator fuel is drastically more expensive than it has been. [10:43] It's a best practice to have 72 hours' worth per generator on site, if you're in a high-risk area. [11:55] Materials that require petrochemical input include plywood and structural lumber. Boarding your windows is going to be more expensive, if you can get it. Transport costs are going to be drastically higher. [11:11] Heavy-duty plastic sheeting is a petrochemical-related product. Some products also use by-products of the crude oil production: polymers, petroleum derivatives, and plastics, like rubber seals. All of those will be more expensive as crude oil fluctuates. [11:40] Morgan says you have to prepare for increased costs. You may be underinsured for the costs of materials you may have insured for in the beginning. Be aware of increased costs and do what you can to prepare, whether by increasing coverage or buying more in bulk. [12:10] If you're going to face increased costs, the more you do beforehand to offset those costs is probably for the better. Hilary says she put together 10 detailed and useful tips. One thing that she bumped up the list is to revisit your insurance values and policy limits. [12:40] Hilary thinks the risk of underinsurance is worth underscoring this year. It is going to be drastically more expensive to rebuild. Make sure you have the coverage you need to cover those expenses and the expenses of potentially needing to relocate when things are closed. [12:56] Car parts are drastically more expensive, so if you operate fleets, it's worth noting that those metals are delayed and pricier because of tariffs and supply chain problems. [13:11] Hilary says it's also worth noting that we had Tropical Storm Arthur last week. It never reached hurricane strength, but it still managed to do four to six billion dollars in damage, according to initial estimates from AccuWeather. [13:27] Tropical Storm Arthur hit the Gulf Coast and did a lot of damage in terms of business interruption, delayed flights, and extended power outages. In terms of business continuity, it doesn't need to be a hurricane to do a tremendous amount of damage. [13:47] AccuWeather says the hurricane classification system is solely based on wind speed. Wind does not do as much damage as water. Storm surge, inland flooding, and water damage are not reflected in hurricane classification. We shouldn't just be concerned about hurricanes. [14:21] The peril and the need for preparation are just as dramatic for other storms. [14:28] Morgan notes that the storm season started on June 1st, and we had a billion-dollar potential damage storm within a week or so. Hilary says it's one of the earliest we've seen. [14:46] Morgan says they're usually more in the fall. In some years, we've seen tropical storms before the season. Storms are not necessarily confined to the Atlantic Coast. There are Pacific storms to take into account. [15:18] Morgan learned about Pacific storms from Hilary. In between Hilary's article drafts, there were three Pacific hurricanes that formed, so she had to update the story. The Super El Niño is the climate pattern that creates these storms in the Eastern Pacific.  [15:47] With the Super El Niño, you get more activity in the Eastern Pacific and less in the Atlantic because of warmer waters in the Pacific and more Trade Winds in the Atlantic that act to break up storm formation. [16:05] Parts of Central America, Mexico, and the West Coast are going to be at increased risk. Hawaii, as well. Morgan says one of the more impactful storms on the Pacific was named Hilary in 2023. Hilary was a billion-dollar storm that killed three people. [17:21] A Quick Break! There are so many other wonderful RIMS events coming up in 2026.

Visit RIMS.org/ERM2026.  [19:12] Let's Return to Our Interview with RIMS Risk Management Magazine's Hilary Tuttle and Morgan O'Rourke! [19:31] Justin says artificial intelligence is on people's minds. It's evolved into a data governance and operational risk challenge. [19:52] Morgan's first reaction concerning AI is, "What else can we say about this?" There is a little bit of burnout about AI. Hilary says we get so many articles. Morgan says there does need to be attention paid. What are your AI use policies? Are your employees introducing risk with AI?  [20:42] Morgan says there was a cybersecurity survey cited in the issue. The biggest risks they are seeing are misinformation and disinformation. IT people don't consider themselves or their companies prepared to identify those risks across the board. Justin quotes that ISACA poll. [21:45] Hilary says you're seeing a lot of shadowy AI use; a lot of unlicensed and unsanctioned use. If your company allows you to use Copilot, but you're using ChatGPT and Gemini, that's unsanctioned use. [22:15] Morgan says dropping an entire report in that might be proprietary information, to distill that into a public environment; not just opening the program, but what you're putting into it, may be stuff that no one would want out. [22:31] Hilary says a recent study showed that 90% of organizations have employees who regularly use personal AI tools at work. Forty percent of companies have bought official subscriptions to AI services because they get different privacy protections than free versions. [22:51] Fifty percent of companies are running on shadow AI. They're either letting employees foot the bill by using personal subscriptions or using a free mode, and that's a disaster. One of the things a lot of organizations aren't thinking about is the cost of subscriptions and tokens. [23:10] A lot of companies that are starting to adopt AI at a large scale and are footing that bill are running into astoundingly large bills for these services and not factoring in that it is not free computing power. It is not a free tool. [23:28] Now that some of these companies are going IPO, if tools are free, they're not going to stay free. Morgan says, it's one of those things that, although it's not necessarily something you want to hear for the fifteenth time, it doesn't mean you shouldn't be doing something about it. [24:03] Hilary adds that hidden costs are a big thing people aren't thinking about. People are thinking about governance, which is incredibly important. The market for that is also booming. People have an interest in making you afraid of it, as well as selling it to you in the first place. [24:22] Hilary says, the governance market is going from $200+ million two years ago to an estimated three or four billion dollars by 2037. It's a huge industry to make you dependent on AI and to charge you to govern it or make it safer. [24:43] Hillary says we're seeing studies that companies have made huge investments in AI, and are not seeing an ROI. A recent study showed that 5% of organizations have had transformative ROIs. The other 95% said there is zero measurable impact on Profit & Loss, if not a net negative. [25:10] Hilary says one CEO said that unless it's for coding specifically, we're not going to get monetary value whatsoever out of AI. A lot of companies that have fired people are starting to reverse course really quickly. [25:24] Hilary says companies that make AI are walking back a lot of their claims about how transformative it's going to be. They had said there would be a job apocalypse because widespread job automation would be so easy. They're walking that claim back. [25:47] The COO of Uber said that gains in productivity were absolutely nothing compared to the increased AI-related expenses they are experiencing. They're walking back a lot of their investment. [25:58] The former Chief of AI at Microsoft said that employees default to automating tasks that they dislike, rather than ones that create value. Morgan says it speaks to being practical about what you're going to get out of it, as opposed to it being a magic button to press. [26:28] Morgan says that in the early going of anything, there's a spike of promise and then reality kicks in. AI is not going to be tossed aside. Hilary says there's a hype bubble around AI, that AI is for everything, and that AI would replace everyone. Companies are laying off. [26:59] Hilary says last year, 125,000 tech workers lost their jobs. In 2026 through June, already 120,000 tech workers have lost jobs. We are seeing an overinflated promise of what AI is going to be. People are slowly beginning to realize AI is to augment employees, not replace them. [27:25] Morgan says there's a push for "the human in the loop." People have come to recognize that we can't leave people out of this, if only to check the accuracy of results. You can't replace workers because there's stuff that the AI can't do. [27:42] Morgan says AI is always going to tell you what you want to hear. It's going to give you stuff that's already out there. It's not giving you new information; it's just distilling it differently. [27:55] Hilary says there's an important core competency people need to be developing now. Taking a quick look at a thing and saying it makes sense is not an adequate amount of oversight to provide for things you're using AI for, particularly as you start using it more and more. [28:14] AI is structured to give you things it thinks you want, or to predict what you would do. The results may seem well-written, but you must pay attention to what's in it and whether it makes sense. [28:33] Hilary says some people submit stories to RIMS Risk Management Magazine that simply restate things; they don't explore ideas. With AI, don't just look to approve it; look to assess it and analyze what it is doing before you put it forward. [29:14] Hilary says, to be very clear, RIMS Risk Management Magazine does not accept articles that are written by AI. When it comes to articles about AI, they've seen just about everything. [30:11] Morgan says he would probably be interested in practical use cases that are not promotional, if somebody found some success using AI, that fellow risk professionals could benefit from, as well, and not something so proprietary that it only works for their company. [30:26] Morgan says it should be something like where AI might be able to help risk managers in general. A lot of people are using AI for different things. It's not about the only best practice, but helping the magazine establish a list of best practices for AI in the risk process. [30:50] Hilary says it's also helpful to get articles that have practical guidance on what people are using that is useful in terms of governance. How are they crafting effective policies? [31:01] How are they working to train their workforce on best practices so they're using AI responsibly and getting the most out of it? How are they exploring the ideas of customization, if that is something their company is doing in-house? Practical articles. [31:17] Hilary says she is seeing a lot of articles on legal exposure and how that is shaping up since all of the case law is so nascent. What are the exposures? What are the liabilities other organizations are learning in real time that you can start guarding against? [31:35] Morgan says there are a lot of cases working through without a lot of precedent. Some of these cases will become precedents. Four years ago, everyone was talking about basic, general risks. Now we are talking about specific risks of real applications. [32:04] Hilary says there is interest in the costs of AI. That's underexplored and would be interesting to read about. Are companies seeing that it's having impacts they haven't anticipated? Every prompt you give to ChatGPT, even 'thank you," is a payment to OpenAI. [32:54] Hilary says a study showed that 80% of people are saying "please" and "thank you" to the AI because they don't want to make it angry; 18% are doing it because they say it's just the right thing to do. Hilary puts "thank you" at the end of a prompt, so it's not an extra prompt. [33:22] Hilary says, some AI platforms perform better when you talk to them politely. ChatGPT will give you more coherent, nicer, and polished answers if your input is polite. Morgan refers to the Terminator movies. Hilary says, You want to be polite, but you don't want to be empowering. [34:02] Hilary says, in a video from the American Psychological Association, a professor from Michigan State talked about the underappreciated problem with AI, that if you automate the easy parts of your job, then 100% of your job is the hard parts, a guaranteed ticket to burnout. [34:39] You've made the easy wins and the low-level stuff that your brain needs to recover, a part of your job that you don't get to do. You don't get those bits. Everything is complicated, difficult, and exhausting. That's not how the brain is designed to function. [35:00] Morgan says, We don't want AI to do the fun or easy stuff. Hilary says, Think of a call center. If it's a simple thing, like "What time do you open?", or "Do I have a warranty?", AI can close them easily. That leaves you with a furious customer yelling at you for 20 minutes. [35:25] If that's all you do, all day, every day, what is your life going to be like? Then you start putting things on hold because you need a second. If your goal was efficiency, you're not making it more efficient; you're adding more buffer time because you can't handle that all the time. [35:59] Another Quick Break!

[36:56] Let's Conclude Our Interview with Morgan O'Rourke and Hilary Tuttle of RIMS Sisk Management Magazine! [37:09] Morgan and Hilary have released the Q2 Digital Issue of RIMS Risk Management Magazine. There's an article about red teaming. Morgan says Red teaming is conducting a crisis simulation. You have a team that is the adversary, challenging your assumptions and plans. [38:04] Hilary says they are immersive exercises that involve some form of offense and defense. It's basically wargaming. [39:10] The feature on reputation red teaming suggests that organizations need to prepare for the first 48 hours. In a crisis, it's the first 48 hours of the crisis as much as the crisis itself. [39:40] Morgan says social media is going to amplify the impact of a crisis immediately. Consider the knee-jerk reactions you see online to anything that's happening. If your company loses control of the narrative, people are telling a story that isn't your story and isn't accurate.  [39:55] Morgan says there was a story that Jeff Bezos had said that we should be using water for AI purposes rather than human consumption because AI will solve more problems. But Jeff Bezos never said that. Social media amplifies something before people question its validity. [40:37] Morgan says we're in an environment where "crazy," more often than not, sounds possible. Hilary says social media is a force multiplier for a lot, particularly when there are zero content moderation controls, leading to misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech. [41:04] Morgan points out that even with moderation, something can be put up and seen before it's moderated. The Bezos story is on Snopes that it's not true, but how many people follow up a story like that after they see the headline? They might not know where they saw it. [41:34] The point of throwing these reputation red teaming exercises together is to acknowledge the fact that not only do you need a plan, but the plan has to be in place to be able to move quickly. [41:44] When it comes to a crisis that happens within your organization, one of the biggest parts of it is the reputation elements. People run with it, "Not only is this a bad thing an organization did, or a questionable thing, but they're terrible for it and irredeemable." [42:04] If you can't put out a statement in the first 12 hours after something happens, because you weren't ready for it, that means you entirely miss out on any opportunity to correct that misinformation and be a part of the narrative that actually steers the conversation. [42:30] Morgan speaks about attention spans. People see a headline and then move on to the next headline. Your first impression may be their only impression. Act quickly. Have the people in place and the plans in place. The exercise is for people to poke holes in your plan. [42:59] Justin says it's a good article, and the author, Ted Skinner, gives you actionable takeaways. Morgan likes the article but had not heard of red teaming. [44:05] Hilary says red teaming is very common in cybersecurity. This is the first time they have run across it in other applications. [44:48] Justin brings up human behavior. It's in the Q2 issue. It permeates every risk. You can't just let AI do your job for you; you have to put a human perspective and input into it. Human behavior impacts employee misconduct. There was an article on it in the RIMS Weekend Read. [45:17] Employee misconduct is on the minds of risk professionals and executives. [45:27] Morgan says culture is a good stopgap measure to have. A risk manager can't be everywhere at once. If your organization has a risk-aware culture, it can stand in for you when you're not around. If everyone's aware of risk, you don't have to be the only person watching. [46:02] Hilary says culture is your sunscreen. It's your everyday, it's your automatic. It's the thing that you need to do to prevent the majority of photoaging and skin cancer. Some of the more subject-specific areas are your serums to spot treat your hyperpigmentation and redness. [46:21] It depends on what your specific skin is like. Are you focusing on wrinkles? Are you adding antioxidants? The sunscreen is the thing you need every day, as it covers the vast majority of problems. [47:05] Morgan says the human element is always necessary to interweave into all of this because it's one of the things you can control. You can't control geopolitical events or storms, but you can control whether or not you put the sunscreen on. [47:25] You can control whether or not you have plans in place for any disaster. That's what allows you to sleep at night. You can do something in an environment where it feels like nothing can be done. That can get overwhelming. [47:42] Hilary says part of overcoming that overwhelm is the empowerment that comes with educating yourself and doing the work. You can't control geopolitical risk. What does that mean for your organization? What does that mean for your cost of materials? [48:06] It takes time, and it's not glamorous to look up how much asphalt we use in a year. The stuff that keeps all the gravel together in asphalt is a by-product of oil production, and drastically increases in price. What does it mean if your supply chain is going to be drastically delayed? [48:33] Those are the ways you can empower yourself and make a difference within your organization with some of these big, ephemeral risks. You need to think, What does this mean for us? [48:49] Hilary says one of the things we evaluate with our goals and the single most common edit note that I give on submitted articles, is "So, what? Yes, that is a risk. What does it mean for you? What do you do about it? What consequence does this have for your organization?" [49:20] Those questions are the distinctions between an article I read and an article I publish. Those are the distinctions between a risk manager who is informed and a risk manager who is empowered. [49:55] Justin asks, based on the Q2 issue of RIMS Risk Management Magazine, and on what they heard and saw at RISKWORLD 2026, what actions should risk managers take before the end of 2026? [50:12] Morgan says it depends on where you come from and understanding where risks exist, for you, and breaking it down to the things you can control, looking at where all these big-picture things intersect your business. [50:33] That comes down to strengthening your fundamental risk management practices to make sure you don't lose sight of the basics. [50:47] There is some talk of the property insurance market softening. That may give you more funds to invest in training or in infrastructure improvements. At least, reassess your policy's terms and conditions and see if you might take advantage of pricing. [51:12] Those are the fundamentals of risk management. In a time when everything is crazy, when it's a polycrisis environment, those are the things you're going to have to do; otherwise, it will get too crazy to look at all the big stuff. [51:34] Hilary agrees. Focus on localized impacts, whether it's the impact of the supply chain disruption on your business, or a storm, or inflation, and also, work on your skill set, learning to have a critical eye when it comes to how and if you're using AI, and what it's being used for. [52:00] Hilary says there's a 56% wage premium for workers with AI skills, according to PWC. A lot of self-improvement and educational things are critical to doing your job well now, but they also set you up to be more prepared career-wise. [52:16] Hillary touches on thinking about what some of these impacts do to your workforce. AI is a tremendously stressful and confusing one for your workforce, so redirecting some money into training programs is a great option. You'll have a better workforce, and they'll feel better. [52:41] Studies show that the more training you offer, the less resistance you get when it comes to tool integration, and the better outcomes. [52:51] When it comes to storm season, you're dealing with a standing inflation, but so are your workers. If they can't afford plywood to board up their houses, that's also a problem. If they are displaced, you have a displaced workforce, and that means business interruption. [53:07] What can you do to assist? Is that ordering things in bulk, so you have some purchasing power to help them obtain supplies? Is that providing emergency kits so they are prepared at home, and you have a more prepared workforce that comes back to work sooner? [53:28] Think small when the big stuff is a little too big. [53:41] Morgan says, the other side of the coin is to avoid getting distracted by headlines that maybe don't have as much relevance. Educate yourself to know what technology works for you. If you just take things on faith, that may not be fit for purpose for you. [54:14] Hilary says a wait-and-see approach with a lot of emerging technology is proven to be the best course of action, and Hilary recommends it. Focus on augmenting employees, not replacing them. [54:36] According to Gartner, 50% of AI layoffs are going to be reversed by 2027. A lot of people who acted fast and cut people because they overestimated the impact of AI are going to be hiring those people back, and probably for more money, not to mention retraining costs. [55:02] Some people are calling it a layoff boomerang. It's coming back. Those who were not overly hasty are the ones who will fare better in the long run. That's an important lesson to keep in mind when it comes to making some of these decisions, going forward. [55:28] Morgan says, nobody would have said we're going to have a war that's going to dominate all the headlines. Hilary says, if you told me there was going to be a war, Iran wouldn't have been my first guess. [55:42] Morgan says, We're starting storm season. We're anticipating it being a mellow storm season. It doesn't mean it will be. It's the nature of the game that there are a lot of unanticipated things. [55:57] Hilary says a dry hurricane season comes with increased dryness, which means increased wildfire risk. It's always something. It's either flooding or it's burning. Which you prefer is largely subjective. [56:24] Morgan says it's one of those years where it's tough to predict anything, because every day it's something new, which is what keeps risk management interesting. Hilary agrees. Morgan says he's still interested. [56:49] Justin says, It's been great to have you rejoin us. It's always fun! These are some of my favorite episodes to produce. Everyone, go to RMMagazine.com.

It's a great way to navigate within the website. Natural disaster things don't vary that wildly, year to year, when it comes to preparation best practices. [57:58] In submitting article pitches, keep in mind that Hilary will ask, "So what?" If you're submitting something, ask yourself that. So what? Why should somebody care to read this? [58:29] Justin says, Look at her Hurricane Outlook, and the Red Teaming article for good examples of what we're looking for. The Hurricane Outlook is far more in-depth than what we're expecting from the typical outside contributor, but it should give you a good starting point.

Justine is a heavy hitter in the occasionally lightweight genre of true-crime journalism. Nancy reviewed her 2016 book We Are Not Such Things, about the murder of an American activist in South Africa, and called it a “masterwork of reported nonfiction.” Unreasonable Women tells the stories of three women in prison for what Justine calls “criminalized survival,” meaning they were fighting back against their abusers. Her research was extensive. She wrote to 10,000 women in prison, created data sets that did not exist, and spent years crafting a book that is both hard to read (in its ugly humanity) and hard to put down (in its narrative propulsion). Also discussed:* Sarah, not going viral * Justine's amazing bone structure* Journalism is license to be nosy* 94% of women are abused before they enter the U.S. prison system* The trap: “If it was so bad, she would have left. If she didn't leave, it surely wasn't so bad.”* Nancy unwinds with a “box of chicken and The Price is Right.”* Bitches Who Stab = the jokey title Justine's husband gave her book* The criminal justice system is so confusing/frustrating that “why bother?” becomes a reasonable reaction — and that's the point.* Kneejerk Nancy has some choice words for the mothers in these stories!* Big love for Bob Kolker, Rachel Aviv, Brian Goldstone, Ann Rule* The horror of Gisele Pelicot (though this convo got cut off, sadly)Plus, what keeps an author going over the long haul of a book project, the troubling history of sexual exploitation in families, a bonanza of hot box books, and much more!

The bird almost disappeared forever. The recovery changed American conservation history. Throughout the entirety of America's conservation history, sportsmen and women have helped shape the future of America's fish and wildlife. Few examples illustrate that legacy better than the wild turkey. In this special Hunt Fish 250 conversation, legendary conservation leader Rob Keck joins Fred Bird to explore one of the greatest wildlife recovery stories ever told. From remnant turkey populations surviving in isolated pockets of the country to the nationwide restoration efforts that returned wild turkeys to nearly every suitable landscape, this discussion traces the partnerships, policies, and persistence that made it possible. Rob shares firsthand stories from the early days of wild turkey restoration, including trap-and-transfer programs, habitat management strategies, anti-poaching efforts, hunter education initiatives, and the critical role sportsmen played in building support for conservation. The conversation also examines modern challenges facing hunting and wildlife management, including ballot-box biology, urban expansion, hunter recruitment, and the importance of science-based decision making. Later, CSF Senior Director of Fisheries Chris Horton highlights another conservation success story through recreational fisheries management. From red drum recovery efforts along the Gulf Coast to the role hatcheries, license dollars, and angler-driven conservation have played in restoring fisheries, listeners will gain a deeper appreciation for how hunters and anglers continue to fund and drive conservation across America. This is a timely look at the conservation victories that built today's opportunities and the work still required to protect hunting, fishing, and outdoor traditions for future generations.   Follow the show for more weekly hunting, fishing, and conservation policy conversations.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: ⁠www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter⁠  Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailHe was a husband, a father, and a “normal” Gulf Coast guy until addiction kept taking more than he could pay. Blaine Landrum tells Ron Myers how alcohol turned into cocaine, cocaine turned into opioids, and opioids eventually turned into crystal meth, costing him his marriage, his children, his home, and nearly his life. Then came the moment he can't forget: hungry, homeless, and eating from a dumpster in the same neighborhood where he grew up, he got on his knees and asked Jesus for help. What happens next is a raw look at faith-based addiction recovery in real life, not theory. We talk about the spark of hope that came from seeing a friend transformed, the decision to enter the Home of Grace, and the early days of simply getting safe, getting fed, and getting clear. From there, Blaine explains the daily work that helped him stay sober: structure, classes, mentors, renewing the mind, and building a new environment that doesn't pull him back into old habits. We also get honest about relapse risks, why “same people, same places” can wreck recovery, and how community support, church, Celebrate Recovery, and strong accountability can help a person rebuild. Blaine shares what life looks like now, including regained responsibilities and restored relationships, plus direct advice for anyone losing hope or loving someone who is.

This one originally aired in August 2013, and the fathers in it tend toward the unexpectedly generous. And heck, this episode may as well be part of our Fathers Day Stories series! Chesley Calloway grew up in Baton Rouge largely without his dad, a Gulf Coast redneck-hippie who was always in the woods. At 15, a familiar smell triggers a memory and opens an unlikely conversation that changes everything between them. The détente holds until college, ideology, and vegetarianism pull them apart again. Gretchen Menter-Felice's father ran a funeral home out of the family garage, and she grew up sitting in the corner of his embalming room in a yellow chair while he worked. By her 20s, his cancer diagnosis and a new girlfriend had made him feel far away. She finds a way back. (Content note: death of a parent) Colleen Hindsley's father was a classically trained baritone who owned an Irish pub and could work any name into a song. He raised a household that was always singing. When lung cancer took his voice, it silenced the whole family. (00:00:34) In September 2024, RISK! shared a story by Robin Gelfenbien all about Colleen Hidsley, who has since passed away, in an episode called What A Vision: risk-show.com/podcast/what-a-vision  And Dan Kennedy is 16, upside down in a totaled car on a residential street in rural Northern California, sitting at a stranger's piano and dreading his father's arrival. His dad turns out to be someone different than he expected. Comment on these stories and find episode details and music credits at risk-show.com/podcast/my-old-man-cre446 Be Part of RISK!

Iran deal, Niño Guerrero, New York Knicks riots, Elon Musk, and Freddie from Germany headline today's A.M. Update. Trump posts on Truth Social that a deal with Iran is complete and the Strait of Hormuz is open, but Aaron recorded much of this episode before that post dropped — and his pre-deal analysis still stands, because nobody has seen the text, the Middle East is calling it a capitulation, and Aaron says pump the brakes either way. Tren de Aragua leader Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, known as Niño Guerrero, is killed in a U.S. military strike that Trump announced Friday with video. New York Knicks fans torch five school buses, injure ten NYPD officers, and shoot one person celebrating the NBA championship, and Aaron notes that PSG fans set the bar and New York said hold my degeneracy. Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire after SpaceX's $75 billion IPO, AOC calls him unintelligent, Ro Khanna wants a 5% wealth tax that Aaron's math shows wouldn't cover half of one year of bachelor's degree tuition. Aaron closes with Aaronalysis on Freddie from Germany, the X account that went from thousands to half a million followers by driving through the American South for the World Cup and being blown away by Buc-ee's, Bass Pro Shops, stranger hospitality, and the Gulf Coast at sunset.
