Apple's video announcement is stirring the pot again, and it's funny because the gurus will remind you Apple always had video; that is true, but it just wasn't widely used, or easy to roll out at scale. What's changed now is the path feels more built out for creators, and the playback experience is more familiar for listeners. We've got some spicy hot takes about what Apple gets right, and why the hype can be louder than the reality. We also share a smart money reminder for creators: freebies, barter, gifts, and even prizes can be taxable income, whether a 1099 shows up or not. We also hit a headline about a major late-night name saying podcasting grew their reach beyond TV, and we close with quick Ambies highlights worth studying.Episode Highlights: [03:03] Weekly podcast publishing stats[06:14] Spotify and Apple top charts[08:15] Upcoming podcasting events and conferences[11:32] Ralph's business bite on creator taxes[15:26] Gifts, barter deals, and deductible expenses[23:37] Video hype versus audio reality[37:39] HLS streaming and what's actually new[41:41] Conan O'Brien and podcast audience power[47:24] 2026 Ambies highlights and notable momentsLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcastingBook A Free Call With Marc Ronick: https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcastingApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform?usp=headerPodNews:www.Podnews.netHere's What You Need To Report to the IRS and Why: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/content-creation-profitable-gig-irs-140000780.htmlRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Men are abused too. And most of them never say a word, including your favorite My Five Cents Host, HLS. In this episode, HLS digs into the statistics, the psychological barriers, and the cultural conditioning that teaches boys to suppress pain instead of speak it. If you've ever felt alone while suffering quietly… or if you've been carrying something yourself — this episode is for you. Because strength isn't staying silent. It's telling the truth

1320. Vídeopodcast en Apple Podcasts. Así, tal cual, fue como lo vendieron en un correo que recibí el lunes 16 de febrero por estar dado de alta como creador en la plataforma. Y claro, a simple vista, aquello parecía un bombazo: “el vídeo llega a Apple Podcasts”, “esta primavera”, “todo desde un solo lugar”… vamos, que faltaba el lacito y el “solo hoy” para rematarlo. Pero cuanto más lo leía, más me daba la sensación de que aquí había que hilar fino, leer entre líneas y no dejarse llevar por el titular jugoso. En el mail te plantan una imagen muy Apple: una persona frente al micro, cortinas moradas, estética cuidada, y la típica promesa de “puedes encender o apagar el vídeo”. Hasta ahí, bien. El problema es que, cuando bajas al barro, el mensaje real no es “ahora Apple Podcasts será YouTube”, sino “ahora Apple Podcasts admite distribución de vídeo mediante HLS”. Y ojo con esa frase, porque ahí está la clave: no hablan de un cambio de modelo para el creador promedio, hablan de un estándar técnico y de una integración que, según ellos, no afecta a lo que ya existe._____________Toñi Martínez patrocina esta entrega de 'Al otro lado del micrófono' con sus 2 proyectos:'Perretes | Las razas de perros' un podcast que analiza cada raza canina desde su historia, comportamiento y necesidades reales, más allá de lo estético. https://pod.link/1584806497 En 'Heroínas o Malvadas. Grandes mujeres' descubrirás a mujeres que desafiaron lo establecido y marcaron su tiempo. https://pod.link/1771654857_____________De hecho, insisten varias veces en lo mismo: seguidores, descargas y comportamiento de la audiencia “seguirán funcionando de la misma manera”. Y cuando una empresa como Apple repite tanto una idea, yo ya sospecho: esto no viene a revolucionar tu día a día como podcaster, viene a encajar una pieza nueva sin romper lo anterior… y, de paso, abrir la puerta a la monetización de vídeo con publicidad dinámica. Porque sí, te sueltan el “tú mantienes el control para monetizar”, pero todos sabemos por dónde van los tiros cuando aparece la palabra monetización en un correo corporativo. Luego llega la yincana: más información, más clics, documentación técnica, claves API, proveedor de hosting compatible, configuraciones… y aquí ya me paro un segundo. Porque esto se aleja bastante de “hago un podcast” y se acerca mucho más a “monta un flujo técnico nuevo para distribuir vídeo”. ¿Se puede? Sí. ¿Lo va a hacer todo el mundo? Ni de broma. Y encima te rematan con un dato que para mí es revelador: por ahora, las suscripciones de Apple Podcasts solo admiten audio. O sea, que si alguien pensaba que todo este pifostio era para empujar el modelo de suscripción con vídeo… pues no. Así que, por ahora, yo lo veo como un “cambio no cambio”: una mejora para quien ya viene con vídeo y un reclamo de marketing para que parezca que está pasando algo gigantesco, cuando en realidad es una integración técnica más, con mucha letra pequeña y con Apple queriendo estar en la conversación del videopodcast sin cambiar la esencia de su plataforma.Puedes leer todos los detalles de esta novedad entrando en 'Esta primavera: podcasts con vídeo': https://podcasters.apple.com/es-es/video-apple-podcastsEl episodio de 'Sujétame el micro' del que hablo en este capítulo es el siguiente 'Vídeo en Apple Podcasts' https://emilcar.fm/2026/02/18/video-en-apple-podcasts/_____________Consigue tu entrada para el directo de 'Contando Kilómetros Podcast' el 28 de marzo en las Podnights Madrid a través de Eventbritehttps://www.eventbrite.es/e/1980175107050?aff=oddtdtcreator_____________ ¡Gracias por pasarte 'Al otro lado del micrófono' un día más para seguir aprendiendo sobre podcasting!

Hey, it's Dave Jackson! In this episode, Ishare my talk that I did at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) about video podcasting. What are the real benefits, the costs, and the drawbacks? I also tackled the recent Apple announcement about HLS video, shared my NRB event experience, and got into some real stats and stories about YouTube and podcasting.This episode uses chapters to enable you to jump to the most important parts for you.Key Topics Covered:The difference between a podcast and a YouTube showStats on how many podcasters are actually doing "real" videoYouTube's change to how Shorts views are countedPros and cons of YouTube for discovery and monetizationCost breakdowns of starting both audio and video podcastsCompletion percentages for audio vs video showsAlgorithm reality and how audience recommendations workMajor drawbacks of relying on video platforms for incomeThe new Apple HLS video announcement: what it means, who it's for, and whether you should careReal examples of creators' experiences on YouTubeMy Takeaways:You don't have to do video if you don't want to. Video can help with discovery, but the audio side offers significantly more opportunity—sometimes a 15x larger audience! Also, while YouTube provides community and powerful analytics, the algorithm and monetization risks are real. The new Apple HLS video support is mostly about helping advertisers, not creators, and comes with new costs.Resources & Links Mentioned:School of Podcasting: schoolofpodcasting.comPodcast Host Survey (Dr. Colin Gray): thepodcasthost.comThe Truth About ‘Video Podcasts' on YouTubeThese 5 Podcasters Added Video – Here's What HappenedPodcastIndex stats: podcastindex.orgHosting Recommendations:Captivate: captivate.fmBuzzsprout:
Have you ever noticed that a podcast you follow hasn't put out an episode in months, only to find they're still actively publishing on YouTube?In this episode, Colin's away, so I'm joined by Jacob to unpack a shift we're seeing more and more. Creators recording for YouTube and letting the audio feed fall away. Sometimes intentionally. Sometimes just because it feels easier.We talk about why this is not really an audio versus video debate. It's a distribution debate. When you remove open RSS and rely on a single platform, you change how people can consume your show. You also risk cutting off your most loyal listeners, the ones who want to listen while walking, driving, or working, not sit and watch.From there, we dig into Apple's latest move to support video more seriously inside Apple Podcasts. Instead of clunky separate feeds, Apple is rolling out HLS video streaming via hosting providers. We explore what that could mean for open podcasting, how it compares to Spotify's walled garden approach, and whether pricing could become the real barrier for indie creators.We also talk about pull-based content systems for curating your podcast or newsletter.If information is infinite in 2026, curation becomes valuable. I share an idea for building a pull-based workflow that gathers relevant updates automatically, so you can filter and add your own perspective rather than spending hours manually searching. Jacob walks through practical ways to prototype this using AI projects and automation tools, without needing to code.The episode of Podcraft is sponsored by Beamly, and is brought to you by Alitu and The Podcast Host
Comenzamos el episodio analizando el inminente evento de Apple previsto para el 4 de marzo, el cual parece que se planteará más como una "experiencia" presencial en ciudades como Nueva York, Londres y Shanghái que como una keynote tradicional. Discutimos las expectativas sobre el hardware que se presentará, destacando la muy probable llegada del iPhone 17e, la renovación de la gama iPad y, especialmente, el rumoreado MacBook económico con chip A18 Pro, un dispositivo que podría tener un precio muy agresivo para competir en el sector educativo. Profundizamos también en las novedades de la beta de iOS 26.4, donde expresamos nuestra decepción por la ausencia de la nueva Siri, aunque valoramos la llegada de listas de reproducción con IA en Apple Music. Sin embargo, el punto central del análisis de software es el cambio técnico en Apple Podcasts, que ahora soportará vídeo mediante streaming HLS; explicamos cómo Apple busca competir con YouTube y Spotify en el videopodcast sin alojar los archivos, pero controlando la monetización de la publicidad dinámica. Además, comentamos el aviso del fin del soporte para Rosetta 2, lo que marcaría el final definitivo de la transición de Intel a Apple Silicon. Por último, repasamos otras noticias de actualidad como la activación por defecto de la protección contra dispositivos robados y las quejas sobre la interfaz al redimensionar ventanas en las versiones recientes del sistema. También abordamos la próxima reunión de accionistas, donde el impacto y la devolución de los aranceles serán temas clave, y cerramos con las novedades de Apple TV+, incluyendo la trágica noticia sobre la productora de Tehran, el limbo de la serie The Savant y la llegada de la Fórmula 1 a la plataforma con proyecciones en salas IMAX.

Send a textApple's newest announcement promised that “video arrives this spring,” but the bigger question is what actually changes for creators who aren't sitting on network budgets or ad deals. We break down Apple Podcasts' new HLS video support, why launch partners are all ad-driven networks, and what dynamic video ads could mean for revenue sharing. More importantly, does this shift help independent podcasters grow, or does it mostly refine the playback experience for audiences you already have?Contact Buzzcast Send us a text message Tweet us at @buzzcastpodcast, @albanbrooke, @kfinn, and @JordanPods Thanks for listening and Keep Podcasting!

The conversation continues—and the stakes get higher—in Part 2 of The My Five Cents Podcast episode, “Why Men Stay Silent About Abuse.” Hosts SoSo Juv, HLS, and The Logical Genius return alongside Kat Anna for the Persuasion Round, where perspectives are challenged and deeper truths come to light. With each host's Top 5 on the table, it's time for a thoughtful cross-examination. Kat and the crew respectfully poke holes in each other's lists—questioning assumptions, unpacking societal norms, and digging deeper into the emotional and psychological barriers that keep men silent. This isn't about winning arguments—it's about expanding understanding. After hearing all sides, Kat deliberates and delivers her verdict, naming who places third and who earns first place as this week's most insightful voice. She then shares her own 5 Cents, offering grounded, compassionate wisdom rooted in her work with the nervous system, safe touch, and emotional regulation. To close the episode, the hosts review the People's Poll and the Artificial Intelligence Poll, highlighting how the audience—and even AI—perceive the reasons men struggle to speak out.

On Weds, February 18th Live Episode #651 of the New Media Show, Rob Greenlee, Host, 2017 Podcast Hall of Famer and CEO of Trust Factor Lab at https://RobGreenlee.com, and James Cridland, Editor, https://Podnews.net and 2026 Podcast Hall of Famer discuss Apple's announcement of a new and improved video podcast experience in the Apple Podcasts app and what it changes technically and strategically heading into 2026. They explain how video was previously active in Apple Podcasts but was hidden and poorly presented in the iOS apps, and how this new updated experience makes video playback front and center, with a “turn video off” option that keeps the audio track playing. The episode breaks down Apple's preferred move to HLS-based on-demand video delivery (via a separate, proprietary API HLS video streaming pass-through submission from approved hosting partners) while still supporting legacy MP4 video via RSS. They cover HLS basics (chunked delivery, adaptive quality, reduced bandwidth, and hosting costs), improved seeking/scrubbing versus progressive MP4 playback, and new measurement implications (better insight into drop-off and ad viewing). A major focus is monetization: Apple plans to enable dynamic ad insertion for HLS video and charge a per-impression fee, positioning Apple to take revenue without operating an ad business. The conversation notes early launch partners (Acast, Art19, Omny Studio, Simplecast), questions about specs and rollout timing (an app update is likely by the end of March; dynamic ad features later in the year), and the risk of platform fragmentation as distribution shifts from open RSS to proprietary APIs. James and Rob discuss alternate enclosures (Podcasting 2.0) as an open path to wider app support, reference iHeart's stated support for video via RSS alternate enclosures, and highlight creator concerns about losing separate audio edits when video replaces the audio feed during playback. They also touch on device support (not initially on Apple TV; CarPlay doesn't show video; Vision Pro support) and briefly discuss future RSS innovation ideas like comments, payments, transcripts, and location tags, plus a short note on upcoming podcast events (Podcast Show London, Podcast Movement New York, Podcast Movement at SXSW).

There's a conversation society isn't always comfortable having—and this week on The My Five Cents Podcast, we're having it. Hosts SoSo Juv, HLS, and The Logical Genius dive into the powerful and often overlooked topic: Why Men Stay Silent About Abuse. Joining the discussion is Kat Anna, a practitioner whose work centers around the nervous system, safe touch, and helping people feel regulated and secure in their bodies. Through years of traveling the world and studying human behavior across cultures, Kat has witnessed firsthand how systems, stigma, and silence impact men who have experienced assault, threats, false accusations, public humiliation, and emotional trauma. Kat brings a compassionate and grounded perspective, speaking to how these experiences shape men's mental health, relationships, confidence, and sense of safety. She challenges cultural narratives that discourage vulnerability and emphasizes a truth many don't say out loud: Men are deeply valuable, deeply sensitive, and deeply capable of greatness. In this episode, the hosts present their Top 5 reasons men may remain silent about abuse—exploring societal expectations, masculinity, shame, legal fears, and emotional conditioning—while Kat offers insight into the nervous system, trauma responses, and the path toward regulation and healing. This isn't about blame. It's about awareness. It's about humanity. And as Kat reminds us, “Men need love too.”
“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving them” - Henry David Thoreau. So, what kind of a person would you like to become this year? Many rely on New Year's resolutions to help get them there. Unfortunately, resolutions don't work for a lot of people; search online and find out for yourself. The statistics are staggering. When our resolution attempts fail, we tend to stay the same person year after year. The good news is, WE HAVE A SOLUTION, UP YOUR RESOLUTIONS. Say "so long" to New Year's Resolutions and Upgrade them instead. So up your resolutions and become the person you desire to be this year.Here are some past episodes that go into more detail on how to create a New Years Theme.

The Space Show Presents Dr. Casey Handmer, Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025Short Summary:The meeting focused on discussing the Artemis program's challenges and complexities, with particular emphasis on comparing NASA's current architecture with SpaceX's Starship capabilities for lunar missions. The group explored various technical and political considerations, including orbital refueling requirements, safety constraints, and the potential for China to establish a lunar presence before the U.S. They also discussed broader topics such as the feasibility of Mars missions, the challenges of powering data centers in space, and the need for NASA reorganization to remain competitive in the global space race.Detailed Summary:David and Casey discussed the challenges and complexities of the Artemis program, emphasizing the need for simplification and focusing on delivering only what is essential to achieve the lunar mission. Casey highlighted the importance of reducing complexity, similar to the Apollo era's lunar orbit rendezvous approach, and noted that congressional funding often prioritizes parochial interests over strategic goals. They also touched on the potential for China to establish a lunar presence by 2029, suggesting that the U.S. needs to accelerate its efforts to remain competitive.Casey criticized the current NASA architecture for returning to the moon, particularly SLS, Orion, and Gateway, arguing they are inefficient and costly, while Starship offers a more viable alternative. Phil challenged Casey's views, questioning whether halting funding for Orion and SLS is the right move, and they debated Starship's current capabilities, with Casey defending SpaceX's engineering expertise and Phil citing his own calculations showing Starship lacks sufficient delta-V for orbital flight. Marshall suggested that Test Flight 13 could demonstrate Starship's orbital capabilities, potentially resolving the debate.The Space Show Wisdom Team discussed the comparison between SpaceX's Starship and NASA's SLS/Orion programs, focusing on orbital refueling capabilities and safety constraints. Casey argued that even if Starship demonstrates orbital refueling, NASA would continue funding SLS due to political reasons, while Phil suggested canceling SLS if Starship meets safety constraints and achieves 100+ ton propellant transfers. The discussion highlighted concerns about Starship's refueling requirements and success rates, while emphasizing the challenges of orbital refueling compared to satellite deployment. Bill noted that launch success probabilities might improve over time, but Casey emphasized the timing issues and marginal requirements in the Artemis program.The group discussed the differences between SpaceX's and NASA's approaches to space exploration, with Casey emphasizing the efficiency and innovation at SpaceX's Starbase in Texas. All discussed the challenges of boil-off in rocket fuel tanks, noting that while it is a concern for liquid hydrogen, it is not a significant issue for methane. They also explored the possibility of using Falcon Heavy instead of the SLS and Orion for lunar missions, with Ajay suggesting that Falcon Heavy could be a more cost-effective and safer option. Casey agreed, stating that using Falcon Heavy and Dragon could simplify and potentially reduce the risks of the Artemis program.The Wisdom Team discussed the Artemis program and its viability for returning to the moon, with Casey explaining that while many in the industry doubt the current approach, the program remains a government policy with congressional approval. David raised concerns about the lack of technical expertise at the highest levels of NASA and questioned how to effectively advocate for program changes, noting that Congress may not fully grasp technical details. Casey suggested that successful completion of the HLS contract by SpaceX could influence future decisions, while Marshall highlighted the potential for embarrassment and increased urgency if China achieves a moon landing before the US.Casey expressed concerns about China's potential lunar claims and the need for U.S. space dominance, while David inquired about the blowback from Casey's blog post criticizing NASA's Orion space capsule as garbage. Casey explained that the post was well-received and based on NASA's own internal watchdog reports, highlighting past NASA failures. Phil suggested creating an Office of the Inspector General for SpaceX and Blue Origin due to perceived lack of oversight, to which Casey responded that existing oversight bodies like NASA's OIG and FAA can already address issues with NASA-funded programs.The Wisdom Team discussed the accuracy of refueling estimates for the Starship rocket, with IG analysis showing 16 refuelings compared to SpaceX's estimate of 8-12. Casey noted that while most people working on the Starship program lack expertise in making these calculations, the actual number of qualified experts worldwide is less than 10. The discussion then shifted to alternative landers for the HLS program, including a potential intermediate human-rated lander from Blue Origin that would be larger than the Mark I but smaller than the HLS version, though Casey and others questioned its viability due to launch and fuel efficiency challenges.Next, we focused on the feasibility of human missions to Mars, with Casey explaining that while significant progress has been made since 2025, achieving a self-sustaining city on Mars would require approximately 10,000 additional Starship missions beyond initial landings by 2035. Casey noted that life support systems for Mars missions are technically feasible, citing nuclear submarines as a precedent, and suggested that while faster transit times would be desirable, they are not essential for mission success. The conversation concluded with a discussion about advanced propulsion systems, with Casey proposing antimatter propulsion as a potential future technology that could enable human exploration beyond Mars, though he acknowledged that such developments are not currently in the near-term plans of space agencies.David brought up questions about the feasibility of AI data centers in low Earth orbit, with Casey expressing skepticism and suggesting that ground-based solutions near Starlink gateways would be more cost-effective and efficient due to latency and infrastructure constraints. Ajay emphasized the potential of thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants for data centers, citing their lower cost and easier construction compared to space-based options. Casey countered that building enough nuclear reactors to meet the energy demands of AI data centers on Earth is unlikely, and highlighted the need for further computational analysis to determine the viability of space-based solutions.The Wisdom Team discussed the challenges of powering data centers, with Casey noting that while it's possible to build a 10 gigawatt data center in 18 months, there's no way to power it that quickly. Marshall suggested using Starlink satellites to provide computing power, while others emphasized the need for reliable communication infrastructure. The conversation then shifted to the future of the Starliner program, with Casey expressing doubt about its viability due to ongoing technical issues and financial losses. The discussion concluded with a brief exploration of the high costs associated with Mars sample return missions, which Casey attributed to the complex coordination between multiple agencies and contractors.Casey discussed the challenges at JPL, highlighting how bureaucratic inefficiencies and lack of incentives for cost-saving measures have led to expensive and delayed missions, such as the Mars Rover, which cost $2.4 billion and was 12 years late. He noted that JPL has laid off 1,500 people and is struggling due to reduced project work, while commercial space has taken over many traditional NASA roles. Casey emphasized that NASA and JPL lack fiscal discipline compared to private industry and suggested that the agency needs reorganization or new missions to remain relevant.Casey discussed the urgent need to enhance NASA's operational capacity to ensure U.S. strategic interests are not compromised by other nations, emphasizing that decades of neglect have created a dire situation that requires significant effort to address. He also shared his work on synthetic fuel production, inspired by the need for a primary materials supply chain on Mars, and highlighted the challenges and opportunities in developing this technology using solar power. The conversation included discussions about refining processes for metals and the potential for innovation in energy production, with Casey encouraging interested individuals to join his team or pursue their own ventures in this field.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

In this episode, we relaunch the New Media Show #643 with special guest Rob Walsh, VP of Libsyn. After a difficult last few months following the passing of longtime friend and co-host Todd Cochrane, The New Media Show officially returns with a fresh format and a familiar voice. In this reboot episode, we again talk candidly about the process of bringing the show back, honoring Todd's legacy, and where the podcasting industry is really headed in 2025 and beyond. Rob Greenlee and Rob Walch dig into the renewed 2026 Podcast Hall of Fame, why hosting it at Podfest Expo matters, and how this year's inductee class reflects both the early pioneers and today's global voices. They unpack what advertisers are actually buying right now, why mid sized loyal shows often outperform the “big names,” and how the shift from demographic targeting to psychographic and genre based buying is changing deals for creators at every level. The conversation also explores the rise of private communities and paid video ecosystems on platforms like Substack and Uscreen, plus the relaunch of NewMediaShow.com with a fully restored archive of nearly 600 past episodes. From YouTube and Spotify's “top podcast” charts to Apple's long running audio ecosystem, the two Robs wrestle with a core question: what truly counts as a podcast in an era where many YouTube only shows get labeled as such. They contrast audio first and video first strategies, debate download versus HLS streaming, and talk through how measurement, attribution, and IAB revenue reports reveal a still under valued ad market relative to radio and other media. Finally, they tackle the current wave of AI generated ads and shows, including legal requirements around disclosure and why so much AI content still feels soulless, even as tools get faster and more powerful. Whether you are an indie creator, a network executive, or someone who has followed The New Media Show for years, this reboot episode sets the tone for a new chapter that stays true to the show's roots while leaning hard into the realities of today's business of podcasting.

The myths have been laid out; the truths have been told; the third-place host must now see if he can make sense of his losing list. HLS of The My Five Cents Podcast crew—returns to his rightful place at the bottom, inviting with special guest to help him make a fleeting attempt at saving his dignity.
The myths have been laid out, the truths have been told—and now it's time to defend the list. In Part 2 of our impactful Single Mom Myths episode, The My Five Cents Podcast crew—SoSo Juv, HLS, and Logical Genius—returns with special guest Lannette West for the Persuasion Round, where the conversation gets deeper, the laughs get louder, and no list goes unchallenged. With everyone's Top 5 myths on the table, it's time for a cross-examination. Hosts and guest go head-to-head, poking holes in each other's arguments, challenging assumptions, and backing up their claims with personal insights and unapologetic realness. Expect surprising revelations, passionate defenses, and moments that cut through the noise of mainstream narratives. Then, Lannette—single mom, breakout star of MILF Manor, and real-life warrior—deliberates and decides who lands in third place, and who walks away this week's myth-busting champion. But before we wrap, she shares her own 5 Cents, giving a powerful and personal take on the myths she's lived through, broken down, and transformed into fuel for growth. Finally, we break down the People's Poll and the AI Poll to find out how the audience and the algorithm weighed in on the most damaging—and ridiculous—myths about single moms.
What does it really mean to be a single mom in today's world—and what myths still need busting? This week on The My Five Cents Podcast, hosts SoSo Juv, HLS, and Logical Genius are joined by the bold and beautifully candid Lannette West, star of HBO Max and TLC's MILF Manor, for a powerful conversation that mixes truth, vulnerability, and a whole lot of myth-shattering. After capturing the world's attention with her breakout TV appearance, Lannette has gone far beyond the screen. While many saw the sexy, confident mom-next-door, Lannette is now using her platform to shed light on the real experiences of single mothers—the highs, the lows, the misconceptions, and the quiet victories. In this episode, we each share our Top 5 Single Mom Myths—from tired stereotypes to societal double standards—and then go head-to-head in classic My Five Cents style. With Lannette bringing her raw honesty and lived experience to the conversation, expect heartfelt insight, unfiltered commentary, and plenty of moments that'll make you rethink everything you thought you knew about single motherhood.
With the scale of Starship and the technological breakthroughs it is engineered to achieve, SpaceX is moving at a historically rapid pace. Starship provides unmatched capability to explore the Moon, thanks to its large size and ability to refill propellant in space. One single Starship has a pressurized habitable volume of more than 600 cubic meters, which is roughly two-thirds the pressurized volume of the entire International Space Station, and is complete with a cabin that can be scaled for large numbers of explorers and dual airlocks for surface exploration. For comparison: each of Starship's two airlocks have a habitable volume of approximately 13 cubic meters, which is more than double the space that was available in the Apollo lander. Cargo variants of the Starship lander will be capable of landing up to 100 metric tons directly on the surface, including large payloads like unpressurized rovers, pressurized rovers, nuclear reactors, and lunar habitats.To return Americans to the Moon, SpaceX aligned Starship development along two paths: development of the core Starship system and supporting infrastructure, including production facilities, test facilities, and launch sites — which SpaceX is self-funding representing over 90% of system costs — and development of the HLS-specific Starship configuration, which leverages and modifies the core vehicle capability to support NASA's requirements for landing crew on and returning them from the Moon. SpaceX is working under a fixed-price contract with NASA, ensuring that the company is only paid after the successful completion of progress milestones, and American taxpayers are not on the hook for increased SpaceX costs. SpaceX provides significant insight to NASA at every stage of the development process along both paths, including access to flight data from missions not funded under the HLS contract.Both pathways are necessary and made possible by SpaceX's substantial self-investments to enable the high-rate production, launch, and test of Starship for missions to the Moon and other purposes. Starship will bring the United States back to the Moon before any other nation and it will enable sustainable lunar operations by being fully and rapidly reusable, cost-effective, and capable of high frequency lunar missions with more than 100 tons of cargo capacity.

This week on The My Five Cents Podcast, the third-place host is turning up the nostalgia and turning up the debate! Who's in the ultimate male R&B group? We're talking vocals, vibes, choreography, and pure charisma. Fan favorite HLS breaks down who makes the cut, who gets cut, and who just can't hit that high note anymore. It's the Make It Make Sense edition you didn't know you needed — harmonies, hot takes, and a whole lotta laughs.
It's the Make It Make Sense edition you didn't know you needed — HLS is back at it, breaking down his losing list, one by one, artist by artist. Was he able to convince his special guest host or is he back at the bottom? Get into the mind of HLS, the dark and scary place, on this special bonus episode he's called HLS Unhinged!
The draft boards are set, the picks are in—but now it's time to defend the lineup. In Part 2 of our epic R&B Fantasy Draft episode, hosts SoSo Juv, HLS, and Logical Genius return to the mic with special guest Amani Roberts to battle it out in the persuasion round. Each host has carefully crafted their ultimate male R&B group—but will their dream team stand up to scrutiny? It's time for a full-on cross-examination, as Amani and the hosts poke holes in each other's picks, question strategy, challenge vocal chemistry, and call out any questionable draft choices. It's soulful shade meets lyrical logic. Once the debate cools, Amani delivers his verdict, naming which host ends up in third place, and who earns the crown as this week's Fantasy Draft Champion. But it doesn't stop there—Amani also shares his own 5 Cents, building a powerhouse R&B group of his own that blends industry expertise with musical legacy. To close the episode, the hosts review results from The People's Poll and the always-surprising AI Poll, revealing who the fans—and the algorithm—think built the best fantasy R&B group of all time.
Comentamos nuestra reciente interacción con los abogados de X debido al funcionamiento de «Big Tech Alert». Explicamos cómo fuimos notificados por scrapear datos de la plataforma y las subsiguientes negociaciones que nos llevaron a un acuerdo para usar su API Enterprise de forma gratuita. Nuestra conclusión de todo esto es que, a pesar de los cambios y recortes bajo la dirección de Elon Musk, la plataforma ha mejorado su infraestructura y ha experimentado un notable aumento en la actividad de usuarios en los últimos tres años, lo que nos lleva a considerar que «Elon ha ganado» en su gestión de la red social. Características como la mensajería cifrada, la futura subasta de nombres de usuario abandonados y la esperada sincronización de borradores entre dispositivos. Profundizamos en los ajustes del algoritmo, que ahora prioriza el contenido de interés para el usuario y combate el «engagement farming», logrando un feed «Para ti» más relevante. Observamos que, si bien la plataforma sigue siendo percibida como hostil por algunas ideologías progresistas, muchos políticos y figuras públicas que la abandonaron han regresado, aunque servicios como Bluesky y Threads continúan creciendo, mientras que Mastodon ha quedado relegado. Finalmente, analizamos los últimos desarrollos en otros frentes del ecosistema de Elon Musk. En SpaceX, tras el undécimo lanzamiento de Starship, explicamos cómo la lentitud en el progreso ha llevado a la NASA a abrir el contrato de alunizaje HLS a otras empresas, provocando una fuerte y polémica reacción por parte de Musk, incluyendo insultos públicos. Por último, cerramos el episodio comentando el recurrente drama personal entre Elon y Grimes; Musk ha vuelto a dejar de seguirla en X tras el lanzamiento de su nuevo single, «Artificial Angels», que contiene indirectas hacia él, y recordamos la dura declaración de Grimes sobre haber estado cinco meses sin ver a su hijo. No hubo invitados en este episodio. - Big Tech Alert on X: «

Open Lines Discussion are ready!The program began with introductions and discussions about space settlement, including challenges and opportunities in the trillion-dollar market. The group explored various space-related topics including NASA's stance on space settlement, recent UAP hearings in Congress, and updates on the Artemis missions, while also addressing technical issues with the Space Show's format and programming. The conversation ended with discussions about military aircraft technology, Ajay's art exhibition, and NASA's budget situation, including potential funding cuts and future plans for space exploration.After early program announcements by David, John Jossy introduced Alan Linton, a software engineer from Waterloo, Canada interested in space development, and mentioned the diverse perspectives and opinions that could be expected during the discussion. David then highlighted the presence of various participants, including AJ, known for his space vision plans and connections, and John Hunt, interested in UAPs and physics.In response to one of my questions, Alan discussed the decline in Canadian participation in space-related activities, which he attributed to factors other than politics. I emphasized that space enthusiasts tend to transcend political boundaries and remain interested in space exploration regardless of political changes. I also made an early announcement re our recent website problems involving the issue of website scraping from China, where 20-30 IP addresses from Alibaba created a denial of service attack by overwhelming our website. The Space Show will soon be implementing Cloudflare filtering to address this for the future.Turning the mic over to John and Alan, they introduced his new YouTube channel focused on space settlement interviews, having already interviewed John Jossy and Ruben from France. The group discussed space settlement challenges, with Alan identifying launch costs and robotic mining as major obstacles, while suggesting that space settlement could be a trillion-dollar market if homes could be sold to the million people interested in living in space.We discussed NASA's current stance on space settlement, with Marshall noting that government bureaucracy and the small size of the space lobby make significant policy changes unlikely. Bill shared that early speculation about Elon Musk's involvement with the administration leading to government support for Mars efforts did not materialize. The conversation then focused on NASA's announcement of potential life signs on Mars, with Bill and others agreeing that this was driven by scientific analysis rather than an attempt to hinder Mars and space exploration. The discussion concluded with updates on NASA's Viper mission with Blue Origin, which is scheduled for the first quarter of next year, and the group acknowledged that while the discovery of life on Mars would be exciting, it would likely not significantly impact plans for human colonization.We switched over and discussed the recent UAP hearings in Congress, where witnesses shared experiences of unidentified aerial phenomena, including military encounters and classified programs. John Hunt explained that the hearings were led by junior House members and focused on protecting witnesses from reprisals, though he noted that senior officials like the Secretary of State and National Security Advisor could influence disclosure. I expressed frustration about the lack of meaningful progress on UAP disclosure despite presidential promises, while John Jossy suggested changing the subject as the UAP topic had become exhausted. I asked John why he does not like the UAP topic. Do listen for his response.Moving to another topic, we started talking about the Artemis II mission being moved up to February 2024, with most agreeing it will likely proceed as scheduled but could face minor delays. Concerns were expressed about the Artemis III mission in 2027, particularly regarding SpaceX's HLS lander's stability on the moon and the need for multiple refueling, even suggesting it may not succeed by 2028. Bill proposed considering Blue Origin's Mark II lander as an alternative to SpaceX's HLS, noting its better center of gravity and design for early Artemis missions. I raised concerns about the lack of tangible progress and testing timelines for both SpaceX and Blue Origin's hardware, emphasizing the need for clear business plans and testing schedules before investing in such ambitious projects. I suggested that we need less uncertainty if that is possible.The group discussed space settlement and lunar habitats, with John Jossy explaining that National Space Society defines a settlement as biologically self-sustaining and permanent for families, while current lunar habitats are considered outposts due to rotating crews. The discussion explored Al Globus's proposal for low-radiation habitats in low Earth orbit, but John Jossy confirmed there are no current plans or market interest in this concept, citing the need for real estate and safe habitats. I mentioned the Musk challenges with launch site logistics and supply lines, which led to the abandonment of Kwajalein Island as a launch site.We also talked about military aircraft and space technology, especially stealth. John Hunt explained that the F-22 and B-21 serve different missions, with the F-22 focused on air-to-air combat and the B-21 on bombing, and described plans to upgrade the F-22 with technologies from the F-35 as a stopgap until the F-47 becomes operational. The discussion then shifted to the feasibility of drones flying on the moon, with Ajay explaining that while traditional flight is impossible due to lack of atmosphere, hopping movements could be achieved using engines like Draco, though with limited flight duration. John Jossy shared a link to Intuitive Machines' lunar hopper technology.We then turned to Ajay's art exhibition, which is currently on display until October 4th and the Zoom video is archived on Substack from Tuesday. I reported that Ajay had given a compelling 5-minute presentation connecting his art and vision for space exploration to NASA leadership during a recent Senate hearing simulation. Ajay discussed offering a 30-40% discount on the paintings, with the gallery retaining their 20% commission plus $500 per wall. Several members expressed interest in purchasing paintings. I identified several favorites including a Mars painting and Native American piece. Marshall praised Ajay's ability to convey complex space concepts through visual art, suggesting it could be a valuable addition to Marshall's office decor.Nearing the end of the program, we discussed NASA's budget situation, with Bill updating that the NASA budget approved by the House Appropriations Committee for science, was a cut from the previous year's total but better than the proposed 50% cut. A key development was Sean Duffy directing NASA to move forward with the House figure. I made a fundraising pitch for the non-profit Space Show, and the conversation ended with discussion of upcoming guests and potential appearances.

Episode Title: Best Film & TV Coaches – Featuring Cam Awesome When it comes to coaches who shaped characters and culture, we've got opinions—and this week on The My Five Cents Podcast, hosts SoSo Juv, HLS, and Logical Genius step into the ring with none other than Cam Awesome to debate the Best Film & TV Coaches of All Time. Cam isn't just a guest—he's a force of nature. A 12-time national boxing champ, 3-time Olympic Trials winner, and the former captain of Team USA, Cam went from a bullied kid with a busted MP3 player to becoming one of the most decorated amateur boxers in U.S. history. After a suspension derailed his Olympic dreams in 2012, Cam rewired his mindset and came back swinging—winning three more national titles and qualifying for the 2016 Games. Now? He's a motivational speaker, stand-up comic, and unapologetic truth-teller using humor and raw honesty to explore resilience, masculinity, plant-based performance, and bouncing back from failure without losing yourself. In this episode, Cam joins the hosts to debate which fictional coaches actually coached up greatness—whether it's pushing underdogs to glory or breaking players down to build them back stronger. From inspirational speeches to next-level playbooks, the squad ranks their top 5 picks—and with Cam's unique perspective as a real-life elite athlete and mental health advocate, expect unfiltered insights and unexpected laughs.
