Truck drivers are feeling increased pressure to deliver on time – even breaking the law to do so. The Workers First Union believes the timeframes set up for drivers to complete jobs within allocated driving hours is unachievable. The union signed up to support the Safe Rates international labour campaign, which makes employers and customers responsible for the financial pressures put on drivers. Union organiser Lance Gush told Andrew Dickens the campaign makes a level playing field for those fighting for contracts. He says companies are dropping vehicles out of their fleets in order to try to keep up with contract costs. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Drawing upon her formal training in composition and sound engineering from Berklee College of Music, she initially explored vocal performance, classical guitar and piano before her creative trajectory shifted when a neighbour lent her a Buchla 100 modular synthesizer. Her music combines the use of modular, analogue and rare synthesizers, orchestral textures and voice.Her early self-released works, including Cows Will Eat the Weeds and Tides: Music for Meditation and Yoga (2014), were followed by Euclid (2015), her first official album with Western Vinyl, which combined structured songwriting with ambient exploration. This was succeeded by EARS (2016), which critics praised for its seamless layering of organic instrumentation and analogue synthesis to evoke feelings of awe and disorientation. Her 2017 release, The Kid, marked a conceptual leap, tracing stages of human development through richly textured, emotionally resonant compositions that bolstered her status among experimental music audiences.Kaitlyn has performed alongside artists like Hot Chip, Glass Beams, RY X, Caribou and Four Tet, composed original works for Apple, BBC Orchestra, Adult Swim, MoMA, Red Bull and others, plus her song “Stratus” was also synced in the 2023 film Priscilla Motion Picture Soundtrack. She has also collaborated with longtime inspiration Suzanne Ciani and other artists like Emile Mosseri, while exploring multidisciplinary projects through her label, Touchtheplants. On her latest album, GUSH, Kaitlyn sets her sights on aesthetics, focusing on the heightened awareness of and presence in the world where every interaction, whether with people, objects or nature, has the potential to become a moment of connection and personification.https://kaitlynaureliasmith.com/https://www.instagram.com/kaitlynaurelia/https://www.facebook.com/kaitlynaurelia/https://x.com/kaitlynaureliaWilliam J. Stokes BiogWilliam J. Stokes is a producer, writer and artist in three-piece avant-psych band Voka Gentle. As well as being a critic and columnist for Sound On Sound, conceiving the popular Talkback column and heading up the Modular column, he has also written on music and music technology for The Guardian, MOJO, The Financial Times, Electronic Sound and more. As an artist in Voka Gentle he has made records with producers from Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Grizzly Bear, Nick Cave) to Sam Petts-Davies (Radiohead, The Smile, Roger Waters), has had songs featured on franchises from FIFA Football to The Sims and has toured across the UK, Europe and the USA, playing festivals from Pitchfork Avant-Garde in Paris to SXSW in Austin, Texas. He has collaborated with artists including the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne, Morcheeba, Panda Bear and Sonic Boom. Alongside being a guitarist and pianist, he is a synthesis enthusiast with a particular interest in sampling and explorative sound manipulation. As a producer and engineer, he has made albums with acclaimed avant-garde musicians from composer Tullis Rennie to Mute Records artist Louis Carnell. “I'm always seeking out the most ‘out-there', experimental, risk-taking musicians I can find to work with,” he says, “to capture vibrant, detailed recordings and create three-dimensional mixes of music that might otherwise struggle to know where to begin in the studio environment.” Stokes currently lectures in Music Production at City, University of London.https://www.vokagentle.com/Catch more shows on our other podcast channels: https://www.soundonsound.com/sos-podcasts

Eight years after she left the White House, the liberals on TV are still fawning all over Michelle Obama. Gayle King and Whoopi Goldberg led the parade defending Queen Michelle's self-absorbed decision to skip Jimmy Carter's funeral and Donald Trump's inauguration because it wasn't "the right thing for me." She's free to do that, but she's not free to demand we all shut up about it.

In this special episode of Renegade Animation, Captain Kaye and the Animation Guru celebrate the 30th anniversary of Disney's cult classic, A Goofy Movie, and the accompanying documentary, Not Just a Goof!

Ohio State's secondary calls itself "BIA" (Best In America). The Buckeyes made a strong case for themselves in 2024 when they helped lead OSU to the national championship. This year's group is losing cornerback Denzel Burke , nickel Jordan Hancock and safety Lathan Ransom, who were definitely key cogs on the national title squad. However, it is not a stretch in the least to say the Buckeyes might be even better in the secondary in 2025. Also, have you noticed the way OSU's players absolutely gush about new defensive coordinator Matt Patricia? Dave Biddle flies solo on the Wednesday 5ish to discuss that and much more.

Hopefully you didn't fill up at the Vow Renewal because it's time for a Second Helping! Jackie's Snackie's kicks off as Jackie makes the fabled trek back to TBell to get those sweet bday churros (after they both got too high and forgot earlier) and she's givin' them her GUSH of approval, it's time to catchup on OSCAR GOSS'! Conan was a great host, as expect, but the rest gave MID since everyone just decided to ignore the gendered elephant in the room, Adrien Brody should have just swallowed that gum, Jackie gives her approval to 'A Complete Unknown' after a very swaying Nardwuar interview with Timote, DEMI AND 'THE SUBSTANCE' WERE ROBBED, a highlight was Daniel Blumberg sassin' in their speech, and then Zoe Saldana put their foot in their mouth right after winning! And in non-Oscars related news, Chet Hanks put out 2 new pieces of media and we're all just waiting for the supercut of him from his new show (but he did get glowing reviews!) and this has Jackie waiting for him to rise from the ashes like the phoenix tattoo on Ben Affleck's back, each episode of 'The Baldwin's' is more upsetting than the last but MJ's decided they need to do some serious shadow work because the veneer is blinding and now everyone feels bad for Alec Baldwin and Hilaria is a villain, but it looks like the family of the WOMAN HE MURDERED haven't been swayed as they called their reality show 'SHAMELESS', Jackie's been watching 'Severance' season 2 with Geoff and it's sad but good, 'White Lotus' season 3 has them t h i r s t i n', 'Righteous Gemstones' is comin' back March 9th and Jackie wants to KISS 'EM ALL!, Jackie forced Geoff to watch 'With Love, Megan ' and it was so bad and so boring but Pam Anderson's is doing great, Flavor Flav is doing a 1-hour energy collab with 5-hour Energy for Daylight Savings Time, MJ's got some recs for a listener who wrote in, AND SO MUCH MORE!  Want even more Page 7?

In an effort to show that gospel living really works, we have to show our joy! Brooke Walker and her sister Lyndsi Frandsen were discussing this, and one idea came to mind: gush more. What does this mean? The fact is our world is becoming increasingly less expressive. Perhaps we aren't necessarily feeling less, but we certainly aren't showing what we're feeling, which isn't always a bad thing. But because we are women who have the light of Christ, the fulness of the Gospel, and the power of God on our side, shouldn't we have some feelings to celebrate and share?   This podcast will both celebrate and share ways we can all be gushers, ways we can wear our joyful hearts on our sleeve, and ways we can visibly and verbally emulate the bright light of Jesus Christ in what we say, show, and do.    Follow us on Instagram @magnifycommunity!
