Hello to you listening in Dong Nai, Vietnam!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.Imagine this: parents taking matters into their own hands and dialing back on their children's cell phone access by bringing landlines into their homes. In one dad's words, “Landlines strip communication skills back to basics.”What makes this move look like something out of The Wayback Machine? Because it confronts the digital mainstream with unsung values grounded in new ideas. In our house this is how we're doing it; not so much to return to artifacts of the past but to values, manners, civility, listening, and a way of being in the world that is not tied down to and held hostage by the ever-present DEVICE. I believe that our yearning for a more humane way of life in this digital age is showing up in what we decide to let go of as well as what we choose to hold on to. Click HERE to watch the 4-minute Today Show segment to learn more.Question: It's not just about a mom or a dad with an idea but an idea that's resonating. What ideas do you have to marry the pre- and post-digital worlds by calling on the unsung values of the old ways? You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

When wars end, peace rarely begins overnight. It's built, slowly and painstakingly, through acts that restore a sense of humanity where it was once suspended. Among these, how a society treats people it detains may seem peripheral, yet it can determine whether trust survives long enough for peace to take root. Humane detention, often overshadowed by more visible aspects of conflict recovery, is in fact one of the earliest and most concrete tests of readiness for peace. Each act of respect for law and dignity – registering a detainee, allowing a family visit, providing medical care, or releasing a prisoner when the reason for detention has ceased – helps reduce the harm that fuels revenge and instead preserves the fragile threads of trust that can bind divided societies. In this post, Terry Hackett, ICRC's Head of the Persons Deprived of Liberty Unit, and Audrey Purcell-O'Dwyer, ICRC's Legal Adviser with the Global Initiative on IHL, show how compliance with international humanitarian law (IHL) in detention – while not a direct path to peace – can serve as a legal and moral bridge towards it, one rooted in dignity, accountability, and the quiet rebuilding of trust. By limiting suffering and safeguarding dignity, it helps prevent conflicts from eroding the institutions and confidence that societies need to recover.
In this episode of Keep it Humane, Daniel and Ashley explore an inspiring initiative where teens aren't just learning about animal welfare—they're actively shaping it. We dig into the story of the Snake River Animal Shelter's “Paws for a Cause” program, which brought local teenagers into direct service with shelter animals and their community. East Idaho NewsYou'll hear how the five-week program immerses teens in the world of animal care, advocacy and emotional growth—starting with tours and instruction on humane treatment, engaging presentations from animal control officers and vet techs, and then reaching a hands-on high point: creating enrichment activities for shelter pets and a visit to a nearby assisted-living facility with a shelter dog in tow. East Idaho NewsWe'll discuss how this kind of humane education benefits everyone involved:For teens: building life skills, emotional health, leadership, and a sense of purpose. East Idaho NewsFor shelter animals: improved socialization, enrichment, and increased chances of adoption. East Idaho NewsFor the community: stronger connections between youth, animal welfare and service.We'll also unpack how shelters and agencies can replicate or adapt similar programs in their own jurisdictions—even if resources are limited—and how these initiatives tie into larger themes of staff and volunteer engagement, retention, and building culture in animal welfare (something we often talk about on this show).Grab your earbuds, because this conversation brings hope, practical ideas and a reminder that when young people are empowered—and animals are included—the ripple effects can be powerful.Takeaways for listeners:What it actually looks like to run a hands-on humane education program for teens.How to measure and communicate the benefits for all stakeholders (teens, animals, shelters, community).Ideas for adapting the model to your local animal control or shelter setting.Lessons on staff and volunteer culture: empowering younger generations, creating meaningful roles, and building an inclusive “we” culture.Inspiration for turning caring into action—both for the animals you serve, and the people working in the trenches every day.

Today we take a look at the scale of humanity/heartless and compare that scale to healthy/unhealthy to see if the friction point is something we handle well. We use a current event from a local issue around homelessness as our inspiration for the podcast. Though it's a local issue, it happens all over the country, so it should be applicable to you as well. Come explore altruism, empathy, and the homeless issue with us.

Philosopher John Sanbonmatsu's The Omnivore's Deception argues that eating animals—no matter how “humanely” raised—is inherently unethical. Rejecting the idea of sustainable meat, he calls for abolishing animal agriculture altogether.

An early essay by Karl Marx writing at the beginning of the industrial revolution argued that humans who were formerly craftspeople were now just cogs in the industrial machine alienated from the products they made and their work. Today's podcast is sponsored by Inductive Automation, makers of Ignition — the world's most versatile industrial automation platform for connecting data, systems, and people. With the new Ignition 8.3 release, you can easily manage time-series and event data, quickly create custom graphics with onboard drawing tools, and centralize control using Ignition's new gateway interface with global search and deep link launching. Providing additional support for Git, containers, and private data protection to go along with its unlimited licensing, Ignition 8.3 takes industrial operations to the next level.

Lean guru Keven Meyer noted in his book Simple Leader that respect for people is a pillar of Lean. When you hire someone, you are getting more than a pair of hands—you are getting a brain and experience, as well. You should make use of them. Articles about a worker shortage due to Boomer retirements have been a staple of trade magazine editorial ever since I became an editor in 1998. Some twenty-seven years later, those articles and news releases keep coming. I learned about a new product from Derek Crager, Founder & CEO of Practical AI for onboarding and mentoring new employees. There is irony here, in that Crager touts himself as developer of an award-winning training program at Amazon—yes, the place that thinks it can replace its workers with robots. But, we will go beyond that thought for now. His solution? Just-in-time guidance—the right step at the exact moment of need, while hands are on the task. When a technician can ask and do in the same breath, training becomes throughput. That's the difference between teaching a concept and multiplying your best expert across every line and shift. He called on his experience at Amazon to develop something called Pocket Mentor: A Phone Call to Your Best Expert. This is a hands-free, eyes-free mentor your team reaches by phone, anytime, on the floor or in the field. No app. No Wi-Fi. No passwords. Just tap & say, “Talk me through it” — and we will.

Our guest is Andrew Tsui who is the founder and president of The Ike Jime Federation https://ikejimefederation.com/ based in Maryland. Ikejime is a unique, traditional Japanese technique to treat fish right after it is caught. Ikejime dramatically reduces fish's suffering and extends its freshness. The results are much better taste and flavor, as well as less waste of fish. Ikejime is not known enough outside of Japan, but Andrew is passionately trying to educate commercial and recreational anglers about the awesome technique. In this episode, we will discuss how exactly Ikejime is done, what types of fish are suited to the Ikejime treatment, the difference between Ikejime and Shinkeijime, how you can learn the Ikejime technique and be certified by Andrew's Ike Jime Federation and much, much more!!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We sat down with Sara Saab (VP of Product at Prolific) and Enzo Blindow (VP of Data and AI at Prolific) to explore the critical role of human evaluation in AI development and the challenges of aligning AI systems with human values. Prolific is a human annotation and orchestration platform for AI used by many of the major AI labs. This is a sponsored show in partnership with Prolific. **SPONSOR MESSAGES**—cyber•Fund https://cyber.fund/?utm_source=mlst is a founder-led investment firm accelerating the cybernetic economyOct SF conference - https://dagihouse.com/?utm_source=mlst - Joscha Bach keynoting(!) + OAI, Anthropic, NVDA,++Hiring a SF VC Principal: https://talent.cyber.fund/companies/cyber-fund-2/jobs/57674170-ai-investment-principal#content?utm_source=mlstSubmit investment deck: https://cyber.fund/contact?utm_source=mlst— While technologists want to remove humans from the loop for speed and efficiency, these non-deterministic AI systems actually require more human oversight than ever before. Prolific's approach is to put "well-treated, verified, diversely demographic humans behind an API" - making human feedback as accessible as any other infrastructure service.When AI models like Grok 4 achieve top scores on technical benchmarks but feel awkward or problematic to use in practice, it exposes the limitations of our current evaluation methods. The guests argue that optimizing for benchmarks may actually weaken model performance in other crucial areas, like cultural sensitivity or natural conversation.We also discuss Anthropic's research showing that frontier AI models, when given goals and access to information, independently arrived at solutions involving blackmail - without any prompting toward unethical behavior. Even more concerning, the more sophisticated the model, the more susceptible it was to this "agentic misalignment." Enzo and Sarah present Prolific's "Humane" leaderboard as an alternative to existing benchmarking systems. By stratifying evaluations across diverse demographic groups, they reveal that different populations have vastly different experiences with the same AI models. Looking ahead, the guests imagine a world where humans take on coaching and teaching roles for AI systems - similar to how we might correct a child or review code. This also raises important questions about working conditions and the evolution of labor in an AI-augmented world. Rather than replacing humans entirely, we may be moving toward more sophisticated forms of human-AI collaboration.As AI tech becomes more powerful and general-purpose, the quality of human evaluation becomes more critical, not less. We need more representative evaluation frameworks that capture the messy reality of human values and cultural diversity.

Countries all over the world use technology to keep track of immigrants released from detention centers. The idea is to allow people to live in communities while their cases are adjudicated. But Petra Molnar of the Refugee Law Lab at York University said the technology is also often employed in ways that are too intrusive and can act like digital shackles. She told Marketplace's Nova Safo that even smartphone apps, which can be glitchy, are a challenge for immigrants who are often waiting on asylum claims.

Murder for Social Security Or Humane Help? The Shocking Lorenz Kraus LIVE TV Confession! Follow the money — and sometimes you find a killer. In this Hidden Killers Live segment, we explore how what began as a Social Security fraud probe spiraled into a double homicide investigation when investigators uncovered the bodies of Franz and Theresia Kraus in their backyard. For years, their son, Lorenz Kraus, told neighbors they had moved to Germany. Meanwhile, he continued collecting their government benefits — until a welfare check by SSA triggered a police search at 6 Crestwood Court. What followed: Two bodies buried behind the house A bizarre on-camera confession at CBS6 Murder charges, and zero remorse We dig into the financial motive behind the murder, why these crimes are alarmingly common, and how digital benefit systems make it easier to hide the dead — until the paper trail gives way. If you want to understand how murder and money intertwine — and how a bureaucratic audit unraveled a seven-year deception — this is the story.

Murder for Social Security Or Humane Help? The Shocking Lorenz Kraus LIVE TV Confession! Follow the money — and sometimes you find a killer. In this Hidden Killers Live segment, we explore how what began as a Social Security fraud probe spiraled into a double homicide investigation when investigators uncovered the bodies of Franz and Theresia Kraus in their backyard. For years, their son, Lorenz Kraus, told neighbors they had moved to Germany. Meanwhile, he continued collecting their government benefits — until a welfare check by SSA triggered a police search at 6 Crestwood Court. What followed: Two bodies buried behind the house A bizarre on-camera confession at CBS6 Murder charges, and zero remorse We dig into the financial motive behind the murder, why these crimes are alarmingly common, and how digital benefit systems make it easier to hide the dead — until the paper trail gives way. If you want to understand how murder and money intertwine — and how a bureaucratic audit unraveled a seven-year deception — this is the story.

Hope is right at home this episode talking about one of her favorite subjects, humanewashing. Lia Wilbourn joins Hope for a conversation about their mutual frustration with the humane hoax and the deceptive marketing and cover-up tactics employed by the animal farming industry. They explore the detrimental impact of continuing to use the term “factory farming” and argue that the animal advocacy movement should phase it out. Lia and Hope also discuss the cage-free egg industry transition, challenging the notion that this industry shift is a positive development for animals. They also address the criticism of using the word “vegan” and how some people are saying that we shouldn't use the word as it has too many negative connotations. There are lots of strong opinions on advocacy in this one, we unpack it all for you! Lia Wilbourn has been active in a wide range of animal rights activism, including street outreach, demonstrations, writing, social media, speeches and art as activism. She is currently the Farmed Animals Campaign Coordinator at In Defense of Animals, advocating via articles, petitions, videos, etc. and co-hosting a monthly online Vegan Mentor Support Group. She also works with Allied Scholars for Animal Protection, is a volunteer on the Humane Hoax Project team, and is certified in Plant-Based Nutrition through Cornell University.

In this episode, I welcome back Kyra Stephenson, Nature-Based Learning Coach at Anna Murray-Douglass Academy in Rochester, New York. One year ago, we first talked about how she brought a nature-based learning (NBL) program into a public PreK–6 school. Now, entering Year 4 of the program, Kyra shares how it has continued to grow, adapt, and root itself deeply in her school community.Kyra gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her teaching rhythm: working in three-week rotations where she spends an hour at a time with classes from kindergarten through grade 5. Each grade level is grounded in a year-long theme that grows with students as they move through the program:PreK/K: Play, exploring place, knowing your body (balance)Grade 1: CommunityGrade 2: Humane treatment of animalsGrade 3: Pollinators to food – form and functionGrade 4: Geologic time, through Indigenous practices to present dayGrade 5: Community action projects – guardianship instead of stewardshipGrade 6: CASCADE Program through Rochester Institute of Technology and Sea GrantKyra highlights how much of her practice is inspired by routines and games from Coyote's Guide to Connecting with Kids through Nature by Jon Young, and she shares practical examples of nature journaling that teachers can bring to their own classrooms.One of my favourite takeaways from this conversation: it's okay to start indoors if that's what students need for comfort or safety. The goal is always the same—finding joy, building connection, and growing community through nature.As Kyra beautifully puts it:“It's a movement of changing the way we interact with the planet.”Tune in to hear Kyra's wisdom, practical strategies, and her passion for nurturing a generation of learners who feel deeply connected to the world around them.See the new website here: https://sites.google.com/rcsd121.org/amda12nbl/home
THE SWIMMER (1968) We dive deep in to The Swimmer and discuss and analyze, maybe just a little bit the glorious film directed by Frank Perry, based on a screenplay by Eleanor Perry, from the 12 page short story by John Cheever. "Well-off ad man Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) is visiting a friend when he notices the abundance of backyard pools that populate their upscale suburb. Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

In this episode of Keep it Humane: The Podcast, Daniel Ettinger and Ashley Bishop explore the challenges and responsibilities of leadership in animal welfare. From managing tough decisions to balancing compassion with community safety, they share lessons learned from the field. Along the way, they discuss Tallulah McGee's thought-provoking article, “No Kill Isn't So Simple — And It Is Costing Lives,” as one example of how leadership choices ripple through shelters, rescues, and the public.
The Sacred Lie: Enlightened Masses, Media Manipulation & Digital Pentecostalism In this sharp-edged, high-density solo episode of the Toddzilla X-Pod: Escaping the Cave, Todd Thompson takes a sledgehammer to the sacred myth of democratic wisdom. Are “the people” really wise and self-governing—or are they dopamine-driven echo chambers manipulated by narrative engineers? Using thinkers like Walter Lippmann, H.L. Mencken, Edward Bernays, Jacques Ellul, Jonathan Haidt, and Neil Postman, Todd dissects the machinery of consent and the myth of the Enlightened Voter. He explores how social media rewires brains, how propaganda evolves into an ecosystem, and why moral outrage trumps rational thought in the Age of the Algorithm. Highlights include: The myth of the rational electorate and the machinery that exploits it Bernays' vision of democracy as a theater of persuasion Jonathan Haidt's “elephant and rider” model as the operating system of tribal politics Tristan Harris, humane tech idealism, and why you can't out-design human nature Digital Pentecostalism, identity marketplaces, and the religion of The Crowd A scathing rejection of both populist saviors and technocratic elites The call for epistemic rebellion and radical individual thought in a conformist age Fast-paced and intellectually packed, this episode hits propaganda, technology, digital addiction, tribal identity, and ideological theocracy in under 30 minutes. Not for the faint of thought. Stream now and don't miss Todd's weekly shortwave show on WBCQ The Planet—Mondays at 10PM Eastern on 7490 kHz. More audio and written content on Substack and YouTube.

With a muddled awareness, misperceptions, and slowing donation growth, the Humane Society of the United States knew that after 70+ years it was time for a change–and that started with the name. But renaming takes courage.

Marcel Schwantes joins us to share the harrowing experience that inspired his new book "Humane Leadership: Lead with Radical Love, Be a Kick-Ass Boss." In a powerful testament to the physical impact of toxic workplaces, Marcel recounts how workplace stress caused his body to literally shut down—leaving him temporarily paralyzed and unable to walk for a month. This life-changing event became the catalyst for his five-year journey researching the leadership qualities that create thriving workplaces rather than destructive ones.Click HERE to order Marcel's book Humane Leadership: Lead with Radical Love, Be a Kick-Ass BossClick HERE for Marcel's LinkedIn profileClick HERE for Marcel's first TBC episode Love in ActionHERE ARE MORE RESOURCES FROM REAL GOOD VENTURES:Never miss a good opportunity to learn from a bad boss...Click HERE to get your very own Reference Profile.

Bob Baxley is a design leader who has shaped products used by billions at Apple, Pinterest, Yahoo, and ThoughtSpot. During his eight years at Apple, he led design for the online store and the App Store, and witnessed the iPhone's transformative launch while working under Steve Jobs. A student of history turned software craftsman, Bob discovered his calling after exploring photography, filmmaking, and music, ultimately recognizing software as the most powerful creative medium of our time. Bob champions the moral obligation designers have to reduce frustration in people's daily digital interactions.What you'll learn:• Why design should report to engineering, not product• The “Beatles principle”—why the best products come from teams of 4 to 6, not 40 to 60• How to create design tenets vs. principles (with real examples)• The counterintuitive reason to delay drawing or prototyping as long as possible• Why software is fundamentally a medium, like film or music (not just a tool)• Why Bob “bounced off the culture” at Pinterest, and lessons from failure• The lunar landing story that teaches us about championing radical ideas• How to evaluate if a company truly values design before joining• The moral obligation of software makers to build great products—This entire episode is

Blake's deft chronicle of one of the greatest moral scandals of our time [is] a book that none of us can afford to miss.”—The Washington Post A gripping investigation of the chemical industry's decades-long campaign to hide the dangers of forever chemicals, told through the story of a small town on the frontlines of an epic public health crisis. In 2014, after losing several friends and relatives to cancer, an unassuming insurance underwriter in Hoosick Falls, New York, began to suspect that the local water supply was polluted. When he tested his tap water, he discovered dangerous levels of forever chemicals. This set off a chain of events that led to 100 million Americans learning their drinking water was tainted. Although the discovery came as a shock to most, the U.S. government and the manufacturers of these toxic chemicals—used in everything from lipstick and cookware to children's clothing—had known about their hazards for decades. In They Poisoned the World, investigative journalist Mariah Blake tells the astonishing story of this cover-up, tracing its roots back to the Manhattan Project and through the postwar years, as industry scientists discovered that these chemicals refused to break down and were saturating the blood of virtually every human being. By the 1980s, manufacturers were secretly testing their workers and finding links to birth defects, cancer, and other serious diseases. At every step, the industry's deceptions were aided by our government's appallingly lax regulatory system—a system that has made us all guinea pigs in a vast, uncontrolled chemistry experiment. Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting and tens of thousands of documents, Blake interweaves the secret history of forever chemicals with the moving story of how a lone village took on the chemical giants—and won. From the beloved local doctor to the young mother who took her fight all the way to the nation's capital, citizen activists in Hoosick Falls and beyond have ignited the most powerful grassroots environmental movement since Silent Spring. Humane and revelatory, this book will provoke outrage—and hopefully inspire the change we need to protect the health of every American for generations to come.
