The Kent-Burningham household took a road trip to Cambria (we're already laughing too) AFTER Lala made a couple of new “mom friends” (wait till you hear this story)!

On either coast of the United States, you can see grand monuments to financial empires. The spectacular Biltmore Estate is in North Carolina. Hearst Castle is in northern California on 127 acres of gardens. These two places were built by wealthy, powerful men. But nobody resides in them anymore. They are show places for tourists to visit. They're not really even homes. You don't need a mansion to create a home. What counts is not elaborate luxury, but the love and peace at its heart. An old saying goes, “The family that prays together stays together.” There is a lot of truth in that. If we parents love each other and our children, if we teach them about God and His love for them, if we lead them with scriptural principles, we will create a place where the family can flourish. We will have a home. This is Andrew Palau. "Direct your children onto the right path,  and when they are older, they will not leave it."

This episode is part 2 of 2 from the life-changing book "Love Does" by Bob Goff.  Join us as we talk about accepting the invitation that comes with each new morning to live fully with whimsy and adventure.  Cliff's "In the News" is HEARST CASTLE.  Cliff's "Inside the Music" is SO MUCH FOR PLAN "A".  Music - "Happy Hour" (music only) by Bev & Cliff Nelson, Rachel & Matt Sumner.  "So Much for Plan A" (full song) by Bev & Cliff Nelson, Marc-Alan Barnette.

This episode contains: Steven, Devon and Ben are all raring to go this episode. Steven talks about a power and internet outtage that almost kept our dear listeners from hearing his sweet, sweet voice. We end up chatting about house batteries, electric vehicles, generators, and how power flows through a power grid. Steven was also able to con his wife into playing Arcs, and she had some valid opinions. Ben says, "There are no good hands in Arcs" and he's not wrong. Ben's mom visited him for a few days (Hi Martha!) and he played tourist. They watched The Goonies in the theater, visited Hearst Castle and watched Twister. Devon was Devon, this whole time.    Future or Now I can pay ten bucks to see Kevin Costner drink his own urine? Where do I sign up?: Scientists built real-life "stillsuit" to recycle astronaut urine on space walks. We talk about what astronauts do now on space walks, and to what extent this "stillsuit" will be helpful. Steven goes on a tangent about smells and coffee and drinking filtered urine.  https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/07/scientists-built-real-life-stillsuit-to-recycle-astronaut-urine-on-space-walks/  Devon's TV corner: Devon gives us a mini-review on the 4th season of The Boys. He talks about the "controversy" of the show thinly veiled attacked on the right, and how Vought = Fox News. It's silly that people didn't realize that The Boys has always been satire. Devon also watched the second season of Star Trek: Prodigy and he and Ben have thoughtful discussions about characters that Steven doesn't know. They focus on Chakotay and Robert Beltran. Steven tags onto Devon's tv reviews to give a micro-review on The Acolyte which we'll dive into more on a future episode.    Book Club Next Week: "Clap Back" by Nalo Hopkinson  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098QNLW6D  This Week: "Where Oaken Hearts Do Gather" by Sarah Pinsker https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/where-oaken-hearts-do-gather/  We have quite the discussion this week, mostly stemming from the format of this story. Ben had a strong reaction to the format (it disagrees with him). Steven enjoyed the mystery and parallel stories being told. Devon chimes in about folk song covers and references Metallica and Whiskey in the Jar and Mary of the Wild Moor by The Louvin Brothers. Ben is reminded of "Little Brother" by Corey Doctorow https://craphound.com/littlebrother/download/  In the future we may visit some horror short stories as requested by a listener (Thanks Tom!).

I don't care about leaving money on the table. I don't care about “maximising” my revenue” or getting the “most” out of every day. Here's what I do care about: Spend Tuesday mornings at a 10am Pilates class. Stuffing around making labels for my new spice racks just because. Googling cool new hair-dos for my little girl. Sitting on the floor with her at 2pm on a Friday, playing hairdressers.I care about travel. I care so much about travel. I care about renting a month-long Airbnb in Norway just because. And getting a van, and traveling around the English countryside stopping at every cute pub along the way. I care about driving down the California coast. Showing my kids Hearst Castle. Visiting Old Town Ibiza, and sipping Sangria at 10pm on a hot August evening. I care about feeling free – really, truly free. Waking up on a Monday and relishing the week ahead. Spending the morning sitting in a cafe, writing for three hours over two half-strength cappuccinos. And never again sitting in  an air-conditioned cubicle with no natural sunlight, taking orders from a girl called Samantha and waiting for Friday. I care about life. And living it, unconventionally and messily.And having fun. And being the poster girl for living free. And above all? After building a $2.5m business to the ground in the name of wild alignment, NOT sacrificing all of that at the altar of some arbitrary revenue goal that won't even give me more of what I want. That's why I have the business I (now) do. And the values I (now) have. And it's why I'm now so passionate about sharing with others my ethos for building a simple, highly profitable one-person + a tiny team style business to the Lifestyle Business Sweet Spot ®In this week's podcast, I'll be sharing with you the Seven Commandments of Building a Business to the Lifestyle Business Sweet Spot.Want more?

Little known stories of pioneering architects — Julia Morgan, the first accredited female architect in California, who designed Hearst Castle and was nearly written out of the history books. Natalie de Blois, who helped imagine the first glass skyscrapers on Park Avenue by day and raised four children by night. Amaza Lee Meredith, a Black queer modernist architect from the 1930s South who helped establish Sag Harbor as a haven for Black intellectuals, artists and beachcombers. A new special from The Kitchen Sisters, the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation and PRX, hosted by Academy Award-winning actress Frances McDormand. Story production by Brandi Howell for the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation's podcast, New Angle: Voice, in association with The Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva), mixed by Jim McKee.

 On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson heads to San Luis Obispo County to secure top-tier suggestions from three in-the-know locals.  First, Johnson chats with Jason Haas, partner and general manager of Tablas Creek Vineyard in Paso Robles. Haas describes how SLO's unique landscape makes it perfectly suited for producing an array of award-winning wines. “The conditions here are amazing and we have the chance to make something tremendous really every year,” Haas says. The second-generation vintner also gives Johnson a crash course on Tablas Creek's holistic winemaking philosophy before getting into personal recs around Paso Robles.  Next up, Johnson is joined by Jim Allen, director of marketing and communications at Hearst Castle in San Simeon. Allen discusses how the lavish estate came to be, highlighting the fascinating characters behind its inception. “Julia Morgan was a California native, a Bay Area architect. Mr. Hearst was also born in San Francisco, so [Hearst Castle] is a very California-created entity,” Allen notes. He goes on to discuss the incredible attention to detail and artistry that went into building the castle. “The indoor pool has 2 million hand-cut glass tiles from Venice, Italy. It took five years just to do this one swimming pool.” Allen also covers the state park's most popular tours, its celebrity-studded past, and offers insider tips for visitors.  Lastly, Johnson talks to multi-instrumentalist Dan Curcio of the San Luis Obispo-based band Moonshiner Collective. A longtime local, Curcio explains how the area's positive vibe continues to shape his sound. “I've been so inspired by the Central Coast, by California, just the lifestyle here and all the influences that we have around here, both musically and just in the natural surroundings,” he shares. Curcio also breaks out his guitar for a live performance of two originals, “Autumness” and “Good Company.” The local musician then shares some of his favorite stops in Cayucos, Avila Beach, Pismo Beach, and the city of San Luis Obispo

Today we are heading to a sun-soaked slice of heaven. The place I chose as my all time favourite destination when I answered my own travel diaries here on the podcast. The Golden State. It is of course, California. I have been so excited to work on this episode for you, bringing to life a destination so close to my heart - so close in fact, that I even got married on one of its many golden sand beaches.The reason I love California so much is that it's a paradise of possibilities, a promise of endless adventure, that truly caters to every traveller. From the dramatic coastlines of Big Sur, where the waves dance with the rugged cliffs, to the sun-kissed beaches of Santa Monica and the iconic Santa Cruz boardwalk, this state offers a buffet of coastal delights.Speaking of buffets, don't even get me started on the food. California is a culinary playground where flavours from around the world collide. From food truck gems in Los Angeles to Michelin-starred eateries in San Francisco, your taste buds will embark on a journey of their own. Not forgetting that it's home to some of the most famous and beautiful wine country in the world. And how about the great outdoors? California is a nature lover's dream come true. Yosemite National Park, with its colossal granite cliffs and lush forests, will make you feel like you've stepped into a postcard. There's the historic redwood forests of Northern California. And for the adrenaline junkies, Lake Tahoe offers year-round thrills, from skiing in the winter to kayaking in the summer.Whether you're chasing dreams in LA, hiking in the Sierra Nevada, or sipping on cabernet in wine country, California is a place where every moment feels like a movie scene, and you're the star.Speaking of stars, today we are joined by a star-studded lineup of some of my favourite guests across the last 10 seasons, who have chosen California as part of their travel diaries.

Barry and Abigail discuss Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (Music from the Original Motion Picture) by Bryan Adams and Hans Zimmer and sample Green Zebra Watermelon, Green Zebra Peach, Green Zebra Pineapple, and Green Zebra Mango from Founders Brewing Co. in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Barry revealed that the first song in the end credits of a film is eligible for an Oscar nomination. The David Byrne song This Is a Life that we briefly discussed in Byrned-Again (David Byrne and Lincoln & South Brewing) was nominated based on its presence in the end credits of Every Everything Everywhere All at Once. Barry and Abigail discussed the tendency of Disney animators to recycle various scenes in multiple movies. Watch some examples! Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron was directed by Kelly Asbury, whose monochrome books were staples in the Hummel household when Abigail was a child. Barry entered Get Off My Back into the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music with Windy by The Association. Don't Let Go reminded Abigail of the Xanadu soundtrack, particularly Suddenly. Listen to our discussion of Xanadu in our episode Can I Do (Xanadu Soundtrack and English Beers).

Julia Morgan was a lifelong trailblazer. She was the first woman admitted to study architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first licensed to practice architecture in California. Born in San Francisco and trained in Paris, she developed a distinctive aesthetic that now defines certain regions of California. But only in the last 20 years has her contribution to architecture been fully recognized and celebrated. In 2014, the American Institute of Architects posthumously awarded her its Gold Medal; she is the first female recipient. Victoria Kastner has spent years compiling photographs, interviews, letters, drawings, and diaries—including material never published before—to create a comprehensive portrait of this amazing woman. Of Julia Morgan's remarkable 700 creations, from hotels to churches to private homes, the most iconic is Hearst Castle. She spent 30 years constructing this opulent estate on the California coast for the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, forging a lifelong friendship and creative partnership with him. Together they built a spectacular and perhaps unequalled residence that once hosted the biggest stars of Hollywood's golden age, and that now welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

American poet Edgar Albert Guest wrote, "It takes a heap of livin' to make a house a home."  That's another way of saying there is a tremendous difference between a house and a home.  You may have visited some of the mansions of the great such as Buckingham Palace in London, or Holyrood House in Edinburgh, or Hearst Castle in Northern California.  They are interesting to look at, and we are fascinated by those who live in them, but the average person would say, "No thanks! I'd prefer where I live right now."  Why?  Most mansions and castles are not very user-friendly.

Most of us aren't likely before Halloween to make it to Transylvania to visit one of the most spookiest castles, and most well known, Bran Castle. However, I did find some equally eerie and possibly haunted castles right here in the United States that promise to be quite spirited. Find out why the Hearst Castle in California is filled with such mystery surrounding the millionaire. Hear about the eerie hauntings of Galveston, Texas following the Great Storm of 1900 and how Bishop Palace became one of Galveston's most haunted destination. Take a boat ride to Heart Island in the Thousand Islands in upstate New York to hear the heartbreaking story of Boldt Castle and why a lonely bride still wonders the island. [TRIGGER WARNINGS: slight mention of alcohol, use of the word "mistress" once]

Julia Morgan is best known as the architect of opulent, eccentric Hearst Castle, but she designed roughly 700 buildings in her 50-year career. From her first commission, the El Campanil bell tower at Mill's college, to the Arts and Crafts Asilomar and the Gothic and Moorish Berkeley City Club, the Oakland-raised architect created many of California's most distinctive and disparate buildings in a time when architecture was an almost exclusively male field. We'll talk with Victoria Kastner, author of “Julia Morgan: An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect” and we'll hear from listeners: What's your favorite Julia Morgan building? Guests: Victoria Kastner, author, "Julia Morgan: An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect."

IT'S SPOOKY SEASON!!! We're so excited to kick off October with Stauney talking about Milicent Patrick, the only female movie monster maker, most known for her design of the Gill-man from the Universal classic horror flick, "The Creature of the Black Lagoon." From growing up on the major architectural site of Hearst Castle to being a part of the first round of female animators ever hired at Disney Animation studios and working on the Chernebog segment of Fantasia, to her work as a special effects makeup artist at Universal, this gorgeous woman, artist, actress, and creator had an incredible artistic legacy that was horrifically cut short by a jealous man with a giant ego... (a horror story all too familiar to us) that left her in obscurity for years!The book talked about in the episode is "The Lady from the Black Lagoon" by Mallory O'MearaEpisodes Like This One: The Science of Women in HorrorFollow us on Instagram @morethanamuse.podcast

Michael Young, CEO for the Foundation at Hearst Castle shares insights about the foundations STEAM programs for underserved youth and other greater good missions.

Julia Morgan wasn't just one of the most renowned architects of the 20th century, she was a true pioneer of her profession. She was the first woman to be admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, which was the most important architecture school of its era, as well as the first woman in California to earn an architecture license and eventually the first woman to win the American Institute of Architects' highest honor. Then there's her buildings. She's best known for Hearst Castle, but over her long career she designed hundreds of impressive structures – the Berkeley City Club, Oakland's YWCA, the Asilomar Conference Center, El Campanil at Mills College, and the list goes on and on. As a woman, Morgan didn't always get the recognition she deserved, but in more recent decades, she's been the subject of numerous books, documentaries, and museum exhibits. However, a new book takes a different approach by imagining Julia's early years, as a young woman growing up in Victorian era East Bay. In “Drawing Outside the Lines,” Susan J. Austin tells the story of the architect's formative time at Oakland High School and UC Berkeley during the 1880s and 90s. The book is a work of historical fiction, but Austin spent years on research in order to make the story as realistic as possible. In this episode, Susan J. Austin discusses her favorite Julia Morgan buildings, why she thinks Julia Morgan's story will be relevant for young readers, and some of the famous figures, such as Gertrude Stein and Frank Norris, who make cameo appearances in “Drawing Outside the Lines.” To see photos related to this episode: https://eastbayyesterday.com/episodes/what-made-julia-morgan-different/ East Bay Yesterday can't survive without your support.

"When you fast, you force yourself to become more aware of what you consume; whether it be food or media. So, when people need to detox from propaganda and marketing, I will them to do an advertising fast. Without changing their behavior otherwise, they see how long they can go without seeing, hearing, or viewing an advertisement. People think doing a 24-hour food fast is hard but this is impossible because the only way that you'll escape is if you don't have your phone on and you're in the woods."  - Sky King Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy. PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

His obsession with how the media programs and shapes our reality led him down the path of understanding media manipulation, realizing in 2016 that podcasting was escaping the standard media model. Sky has made it his mission to continue allowing podcasts to stay outside the influence of advertising and keep their content sincere. His podcast Sky King's Mental Playground focuses on the tension between centralized and decentralized systems, specifically on propaganda, financial systems, and political systems. You can listen at skmp.supercast.com or follow Sky on Twitter @consumersky or Instagtram @iamaskyking. Propaganda, Art, Health, Regenerative Systems, Great Food, Economic Incentives, and building companies in an increasingly digital world. All of these concepts live in the balance of centralized and decentralized systems. I believe that if we are not careful, we will watch the pendulum swing away from self-governance, and in that swing, we have the opportunity to lose the future of humanity to the dark side. These are the concepts that own my mind space. This podcast is an opportunity to play with these ideas with world leaders, entrepreneurs, my homies, and people that I find generally exciting or entertaining. It is called a playground for a reason. This podcast will be as fun as it is informative; we are tackling society's most pervasive issues, but in a way that we are undoubtedly going to fuck up, scribble on, and get hurt. Podcasting: A Gamified Media Model? Why Attention The New NFT

Homes and mansions or castles are vastly different.  Take for example, Hearst Castle with its marble statuaries mirrored in a reflecting pool; or the Vanderbilt Estate; Buckingham Palace, the home of British Royalty; Warrick Castle; and the Forbidden City in Beijing, the residence of Chinese Emperors.  One of the most beautiful dwelling places in all the world would surely be Peterhof Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia, with fountains spewing forth water in crystalline streams.  Then contrast living there with what you call home. Would you trade the warmth of your fireplace or your favorite nook in the family room, for life in a palace or castle?  It's not even tempting to me, to say nothing of thinking about the cost of repairs or taxes, should you be given a palace.

For its 100th anniversary, the secluded San Simeon retreat of publisher William Randolph Hearst is celebrating architect Julia Morgan with a new tour. Actor Pepe Serna has appeared in “Scarface,” “Man from Reno,” “The Jerk,” and more. A documentary about him, “Pepe Serna: Life is Art,” will premiere at the Latino Film Festival in LA on June 4. The new exhibition called “Your Perfect Plastic Heart” focuses on the female body and exploitation of nature. The show “it's not My Music” suggests that music belongs to everyone.

According to new numbers out, California's water usage jumped nearly 19% in March, despite pleas for conservation from the governor and local water agencies. Meanwhile, the city of Los Angeles has announced new mandatory water restrictions. Starting June 1st, the city's four million residents will have to cut outdoor water use to two-days a week. California has a whopping state budget surplus, an estimated $68 billion. But it's doubtful any of that money will go to fixing the state agency in charge of investigating wage theft. It's struggling with a backlog of more than 36, 000 cases that stretches back years. Reporter: Farida Jhabvala Romero, KQED U.S. Senator Alex Padilla will appear on California's June primary ballot twice, in separate but related contests. He's running in one contest to finish out former U.S. Senator Kamala Harris' term, and also competing for a new 6-year term.   Reporter: Chris Nichols, CapRadio California's Fair Political Practices Commission could soon open the door for campaigns to accept cryptocurrency donations. California is currently one of nine states that bars campaign contributions in crypto because they're so hard to regulate and trace.  Reporter: Adhiti Bandlamudi, KQED  Equality isn't perceived equally. According to a new study from UC Berkeley, historically privileged groups can see opening up pathways of opportunities for some less privileged people as harming their own access to resources. Reporter: Matt Guilhem, KCRW The opulent Hearst Castle atop a commanding hilltop on California's Central Coast draws in about 750,000 visitors every year. But the popular tourist destination has been closed for more than two years because of the pandemic. It's finally reopening on Wednesday Reporter: Benjamin Purper, KCBX

Starting this August, performing an abortion in Oklahoma will be a felony. KCRW checks in with Dr. Rebecca Taub, an OB/GYN who regularly travels to Oklahoma, and now Kansas, to relieve overburdened physicians.  Nearly half of all U.S. OB/GYN residency programs are in states that could ban abortions if Roe v. Wade falls. But abortion care can be applied to other specialties. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been surveilling anyone living in the U.S., from immigrants to citizens, and it can get around state laws that try to protect undocumented people, says a new report. Julia Morgan designed California's iconic Hearst Castle, and hundreds of her buildings have survived earthquakes. She's the focus of a new book by Victoria Kastner. Apple is pulling the plug on the iPod, which came out in 2001. The first version cost some $400. Several generations came out, plus the Mini, Nano, Shuffle, and finally the iPod Touch.

You've heard of the Hearst Castle, but how did this estate come to be? In this episode, Chad and I cover the Hearst family, their humble beginnings, and how they built their wealth, starting with George Hearst and his son, William Randolph Hearst. We also cover the kidnapping of Patty Hearst performed by the Symbionese Liberation Army. Lot's to unpack! Have a listen and enjoy!

My guest for this episode of the podcast is Sam Mazzeo of Better, a law firm that I'd love to see others emulate. To give you a sense of Sam, here's his bio: "We like to think of Sam as an approachable renaissance man. Here are some things he can help you better understand: trademark, business formation & securities, contracts, Halloween party planning, how to do a standing backflip, and the proper pronunciation of the word “GIF.” When Sam isn't providing legal advice and empowering his clients, he's either outdoors exercising or working on local policy and social justice initiatives, often through his volunteer positions with Business For Good San Diego. Sam also serves on several Boards of Directors, including A Reason to Survive (ARTS), Space4Art, and The Foundation at Hearst Castle."We had a great conversation about Sam's journey through the field of law, his work with Invisible Children and how it was transformative for him, and how and why he, and Better, approach the practice of law from a different perspective.If you're in an industry that you feel needs to be shaken up a little bit, I think you'll definitely get some useful ideas from our conversation.
