Podcasts about in this week

The U.S. is a global leader in technology and innovation. That didn't happen by chance. It happened because our economic institutions have historically emphasized decentralized decision-making, strong property rights, capital formation, and competition on the merits.In recent years, antitrust enforcement has drifted away from economics and toward structural and precautionary theories that treat scale, integration, and market success as presumptive harms. Some of this shift mirrors Europe's regulatory approach, and troublingly, the impulse to move in this direction is becoming bipartisan. The danger is that we abandon evidence-based competition policy, raise error costs, chill investment, and weaken long-run growth—at the very moment American firms are competing most intensely with China.In This Week's Economy, I explain how we got here, what's at stake for America's leading tech firms, and what policymakers should do to ensure we defend competition without undermining the innovation that keeps America ahead.

BENN LEAVES EDDIE - MAYWEATHER-PACQUIAO II - GARCIA BEATS BARRIOS - WOOD WALLOPS WARRINGTON Zuffa Boxing made an astonishing play when they swooped to steal Conor Benn away from long-time promoter Eddie Hearn. Will Benn be proved right to leave, or will he regret walking away from Matchroom? In another unexpected development, the rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao was confirmed for September. A welcome sequel or another daft pantomime? Leigh Wood got the better of a faded Josh Warrington but the star of the weekend was Ryan Garcia who claimed a welterweight belt against Mario Barrios. In This Week, we take a gentle stroll back to 1996 and Oliver McCall making short work of Oleg Maskaev. Thanks for the support and keep listening, folks. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Finance Director Dan Lynch, Planning and Community Development Director Donna Benton, and Public Welfare Director Dave Balian about their respective fiscal year 2027 budget presentations. Parker begins with a brief overview of the Executive Department budget, noting it is largely personnel-driven with no major capital costs. Lynch explains that the Finance Department budget is developed with input from division supervisors across Purchasing, Accounting, the City Clerk/Tax Collector, and Assessing offices. He notes that unlike recent years, which saw the implementation of new voting machines and a computer-aided mass appraisal system, FY2027 has no major capital purchases. Benton discusses the Planning Department budget, highlighting a reduction in the Transportation chapter of the Master Plan line item from $100,000 to $40,000 as the department shifts to the Stewardship chapter. She notes her request for an additional building inspector to handle increasing development activity was not included in the proposed budget. Balian outlines the welfare department's five-point approach to budget development, which considers current and historical spending, economic factors, employment trends, and potential legislative cost shifts. He emphasizes that local welfare is state-mandated but funded entirely through local general funds, and that his department has held its budget flat for several years by investing in better case management and partnerships with outside agencies. Listeners can explore all budget presentations on the city's Budget Revealed page at: https://www.dover.nh.gov/government/open-government/budget-revealed/fy2027-budget/.In This Week in Dover History, we look back at "Dover's Black Day" — the catastrophic flood of March 1, 1896, when a 10-hour rainstorm caused the Cochecho River to rise between six and 10 feet. The flood destroyed five bridges, swept buildings from the Central Avenue Bridge into the river, caused over $300,000 in damages, and effectively ended Dover's shipping industry by filling the river with silt and debris.

In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Amy Rich Crane, executive director of Reach for the Top Therapy, a nonprofit organization located in the McConnell Center that provides therapeutic services for children and young adults from birth to age 21. Crane, a dual board-certified pediatric occupational therapist with more than 15,000 hours of clinical experience, took over the organization in 2021 after leading clinics across the country during her husband's military career. She describes Reach for the Top's neuro-affirming, strength-based approach to serving children with a wide range of needs, including autism, ADHD, anxiety, complex feeding disorders, and the effects of trauma and abuse. The organization offers occupational, physical, speech, and, as of October 2025, mental health therapy, along with specialty programs such as hippotherapy, aquatic therapy, and community-based sessions at locations like the Children's Museum of New Hampshire. Since its founding in 2014, Reach for the Top has grown from serving 80 children a year to nearly 500, drawing clients from 48 surrounding towns and cities. Crane discusses how the organization supports families through educational resources, webinars, and community trainings, and she notes that volunteers can help through board service, deep-cleaning events, and donations of supplies and funds. As the outgoing Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce Nonprofit of the Year, Crane encourages community collaboration and says Dover is already leading the way in child development, mental health, and school safety. Listeners can learn more at https://reachftt.org/In This Week in Dover History, we look back at Abraham Lincoln's 1860 visit to Dover, as remembered by George W. Benn in a 1909 Boston Globe feature that captured firsthand recollections of Lincoln from people who had seen him in person. Benn recalled Lincoln's powerful, plainspoken speech delivered just days after his famous Cooper Union address. Today, Lincoln's Dover connections remain tangible at the Lincoln Building on Locust Street, where he spent the night, and at the Woodman Museum, which holds the original lectern from which Lincoln spoke.

In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Jackson Kaspari, Director of Member Services for the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire. Kaspari, who previously served as Dover's resilience manager and helped launch the city's Community Power program, reflects on the coalition's growth since Dover became a founding member in October 2021. The organization has expanded to 68 member communities with 50 operating programs, serving approximately 175,000 customers statewide.The conversation covers how community power works, including the opt-out structure, product tiers offering varying levels of renewable energy, and the ease of switching between options. Kaspari explains that about 60% of Dover customers currently participate in Community Power. He discusses the upcoming Feb. 1 rate of $0.14 per kilowatt hour, which will be higher than Eversource's rate, attributing the differential to changes in how utilities now purchase power and the coalition's decision to build community reserves. About two cents per kilowatt hour goes toward these reserves, which Kaspari says will enable more competitive rates and local energy projects in the future. He highlights Dover's participation in the state's largest solar array in Warner, New Hampshire, which will benefit the municipality in the long term.In This Week in Dover History, we look back at the devastating Cocheco Manufacturing Company mill fire of Jan. 26, 1907. The blaze at Mill No. 1 claimed six lives after a malfunctioning sprinkler head was shut off for repairs just minutes before workers spotted smoke. The fire spread rapidly through the five-story brick building as below-freezing temperatures froze hoses and equipment. After two days of firefighting, the upper floors collapsed, causing $1 million in damage. The mill was rebuilt and reopened by October 1908 with improved safety measures.

How property taxes undermine homeownership—and what states and localities can do to fix it.Affordability is a major issue for voters. Families are feeling squeezed by higher housing costs, rising insurance premiums, and everyday expenses that often outpace income. For many Americans, the question is no longer just whether they can buy a home, but whether they can afford to keep the one they are in.Across the country, states are beginning to confront one overlooked driver of the housing affordability crisis: property taxes. From proposals to cap assessments to more ambitious efforts to reduce or even eliminate property taxes, lawmakers are reexamining a tax that quietly raises housing costs annually.In This Week's Economy, we'll look at how property taxes undermine true homeownership, why they fall hardest on those least able to pay, and what meaningful reform would require if states and localities want to restore affordability and let people prosper.

In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Chef Evan Hennessey, a Dover native who has become a prominent figure in the culinary scene. Hennessey, whose mother was a French teacher in Dover, left the area after graduating from Dover High School to work in Boston, New York and Chicago before returning to establish his career in his hometown. He discusses his journey from wanting to be a Disney animator to becoming a chef, starting as a prep cook and dishwasher at Newick's restaurant. Hennessey reflects on how his cooking style has evolved over 30 years, learning to simplify dishes rather than over-complicate them. He shares his passion for Dover as a small, growing community with great proximity to both mountains and ocean. The conversation highlights the collaborative nature of Dover's restaurant community, where business owners support each other rather than compete. Hennessey discusses his current restaurants, Stages and The Living Room, his appearances on the Food Network show Chopped, as well as his upcoming venture, Topolino, opening this spring at 9 River St., which will feature casual Mediterranean cuisine with roughly 70 seats, a bar, and a patio on the river. He also mentions his participation in a Friends of the Library fundraiser on Jan. 27 at Chapel + Main, featuring a live-streamed mystery basket cooking challenge.For more information about the Friends of the Library fundraiser at Chapel + Main with Hennessey, or to purchase tickets, visit https://dovernh.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/cook-for-the-books-friends-of-the-library-fundraiser/In This Week in Dover History, we learn about the development of winter sports in Dover over the past century. The segment traces how a 1923 Dover Chamber of Commerce meeting led to discussions about forming a hockey team and allowing skiing at Garrison Hill, including construction of a ski jump. These early efforts eventually resulted in a ski area at Garrison Hill with a rope tow that operated until the 1960s, a public skating rink behind the library that was later converted to parking, and the opening of the Dover Ice Arena in the 1970s. By 1999, demand had grown enough to warrant a second sheet of ice, leading to the construction of the Holt rink, which was completed in 2001 alongside a reconstruction of the Robert H. Foster rink, making the arena a year-round community destination.

The Devil's Ledger — January 12, 2026 The Dead Time of WinterWelcome back to The Devil's Ledger — and to the cold dead heart of winter. For the next six weeks, the world slows down, the nights stretch longer, and the quiet gets louder. Stay alert, stay calm… and stay inside. This week, on The Devil Within, we launch a two-part series on one of the most haunting disappearances in American true crime: The Yuba County Five. Five young men leave a basketball game in 1978 and take the wrong road into the mountains. Their car is found abandoned — functional, not wrecked, and capable of sheltering them — but they left it behind and walked uphill into the snow. No killer. No chase. Just winter, fear, and the terrible power of confusion. On The Ides of April, we conclude The Quiet Death of an Empire with Part Two of the assassination of Tsar Nicholas II, and examine the enduring controversy that Anastasia may have survived the bloodbath. This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn delivers an update on the so-called Torso Killer case from New York and New Jersey in the 1970s — including a new jailhouse confession and an exclusive interview with Dr. Peter Vronsky, the author and expert who literally wrote the book on the Golden Age of serial killers. The boys from Taboo Treasures are still on winter break, but they'll be back soon. In This Week in Horror, we recommend We Bury the Dead — a chilling zombie film where a military mistake sparks catastrophe… and the cover-up doesn't go as planned. And don't miss our new daily show on the network: Finding Me with Josh Wolf — honest, hilarious, and quickly becoming a must-listen. See you this week across the Evio universe.

In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Betsey Andrews Parker, Chief Executive Officer of Community Action Partnership of Strafford County. This episode kicks off Season 5's special focus on nonprofits serving the Dover and Seacoast area. Betsey explains that CAP, which traces its roots to President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty, operates as an umbrella organization providing a wide range of services including fuel assistance, weatherization, Head Start early childhood programs, food distribution to 24 soup kitchens and pantries, homeless shelters, senior housing, domestic violence and human trafficking programs, and home visiting services for newborns. She emphasizes that many working families qualify for assistance without realizing it, with programs serving households earning up to 200% of the federal poverty level. CAP operates on a $20 million annual budget, with 84% coming from federal sources that require matching funds. Betsey discusses her background in public health and bioterrorism preparedness, including work on pandemic planning that proved valuable during COVID-19. She stresses the importance of partnerships with municipalities, other nonprofits, and the community, noting that CAP's 120 employees work collaboratively to serve residents. Volunteers and donors can find opportunities at straffordcap.org, and the organization's main office is at 577 Central Avenue in Dover, with additional locations in Farmington and Rochester.In This Week in Dover History, we look back at the inauguration of city officials on Jan. 6, 1925, when Mayor John P. Morrison took office amid crowded Council Chambers at City Hall. The segment contrasts Dover's partisan, bicameral government of the past with today's nonpartisan City Council-City Manager system, while noting that the tradition of January inaugurations continues to this day.

As we close out 2025, the economic and policy landscape isn't slowing down for the holidays. This final news brief of the year brings a flurry of developments that will shape the year ahead — from sinking consumer confidence and major antitrust rulings to DOGE shutting down, to state budgets sliding deeper into the red, to new scrutiny on algorithmic pricing tools.It's a fitting close to a year defined by big economic questions — and even bigger opportunities to return to the principles that let people prosper. Understanding basic economic fundamentals is essential for lawmakers to make decisions that allow Americans to thrive.In This Week's Economy, we examine the nation's economic health, new developments in competition and innovation, how the end of the government's DOGE initiative fits into the broader fight against waste, and the warning California's budget crisis sends to other states.For more insights, visit vanceginn.com.

We're entering the final days of the first year of Trump's second term, and the economic picture looks very different from his first.Last time, America saw strong growth driven by pro-market reforms — tax cuts, regulatory reductions, and a broader effort to unleash productivity. This time, the administration led with the opposite approach: sweeping tariffs and industrial policy first, and only later moved to tax cuts and deregulation. That reversal in priorities has stalled, not strengthened, the economy.Now those tariffs are at a defining moment before the US Supreme Court, where the Justices are weighing whether any president can unilaterally impose “emergency” taxes on Americans. Yet even as SCOTUS debates the limits of executive power, the administration is doubling down with tariff rebate checks instead of simply lowering the taxes themselves.But there is good news amid the chaos: health policy is finally front and center. That opens the door to meaningful reforms that put patients — not bureaucracies, insurers, or federal mandates — at the center of care.In This Week's Economy, I break down the challenges and the real opportunities ahead for economic growth and the issues that let people prosper.

The federal government shutdown is still dragging on — now stretching into its second month — freezing key economic data and labor reports. This adds more uncertainty to already shaky markets, which are struggling under tariffs. Meanwhile, major developments are unfolding in the courts, from a pivotal Supreme Court case that could redefine presidential power over tariffs to an antitrust battle involving Pfizer and Novo Nordisk.At the state level, voters weighed in on key tax and spending measures that will shape local economies for years to come. A lot is happening across every level of government — and each of these stories ties back to one question: how do we keep America's economy free, competitive, and growing? In This Week's Economy, I explore this question in light of recent news. You can catch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify.Visit: VanceGinn.comSubscribe: VanceGinn.Substack.com

The countdown to Chris Eubank Jr-Conor Benn II officially began last week as the press conference, such as it was, almost immediately boiled over into chaos. Eubank's astonishing claims painted some dreadful pictures that British boxing could have done without. And it leaves some seasoned observers preparing to watch happens next through their fingers. In far more warming fare, Alex and Matt were at the British Boxing Hall of Fame; a ceremony that reminded them what makes this sport so special.

It was almost like he knew what was going to happen all along. Yet it was the news on Sunday morning, that Ricky Hatton was dead, which produced the weekend's biggest shockwaves. We will bring you a separate podcast later this week dedicated to the one and only Hatton, a ferocious fighter and magical man, who will be forever adored. In This Week, we go back to 1985 to produce another exhibit for the size-doesn't-matter files.

What does the proposed Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis ‘exhibition' say about boxing in 2025? There isn't another sport, at least not a major one, that could stage such a daft sideshow and it would steal the attention from the real competition to this extent. Paul himself admits he's redesigning the boxing and it's difficult to disagree; his fights will continue to generate significantly higher audiences than anyone else, thanks in no small part to the involvement of Netflix. Whether it really happens, and whether it can happen considering it's a crusierweight vs a lightweight, is of course also worthy of discussion. Elsewhere, Mark Chamberlain and Jack Rafferty fought to a thrilling draw in a bout far more worthy of our attention. In This Week, we cruise back to 1992 to witness the rematch of the wizards: James Toney vs Mike McCallum. Thanks for your support.

In This Week's Issue:A cross-sectional study looking at patients after globe removal from US service members showed higher rates of suicidal ideation, alcohol use disorder, anxiety/depression, among other behavioral health diagnoses.As compared to European populations, Hispanic populations had lower success rates and higher bleb leaks with trabeculectomy.A post hoc analysis found that younger adjusted age at congenital cataract surgery was associated with higher glaucoma risk but better long-term visual acuity, whilegestational age alone was not associated with outcomes.H. pylori-positive patients developed temporal retinal nerve fiber layer thinning at slightly higher rates and also developed signs of macular degeneration at a significantly younger age than H. pylori-negative patients

Economist Julian Simon said, “Energy is the master resource, because energy enables us to convert one material into another. As natural scientists continue to learn more about the transformation of materials from one form to another with the aid of energy, energy will be even more important.”Energy powers our homes, fuels our industries, and drives the innovations that secure our future. However, when Washington attempts to micromanage the energy sector through regulations, subsidies, and political agendas, it distorts the market and drives up costs.But it doesn't have to be this way. When markets are free to work, America thrives. We've seen that energy abundance, competition, and innovation emerge naturally when government steps back and entrepreneurs step forward. The path to a stronger economy and a more reliable grid isn't more government planning—it's less!In This Week's Economy episode, I discuss how we got here, what's at stake, and the four steps we must take to unleash America's full energy potential. From ending regulations and subsidies, to rejecting ESG mandates, to fueling innovation, the blueprint is clear: trust markets, not bureaucrats, to power America's future. You can catch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify.Visit: VanceGinn.comSubscribe: VanceGinn.Substack.com

I'm consistently inspired by the entrepreneurial journeys shared by my guests on the Let People Prosper Show. Their stories of building businesses, overcoming challenges, and innovating to improve lives remind me of the incredible value entrepreneurs bring to our world.At the same time, it's frustrating to see how policymakers can undermine entrepreneurship through higher taxes, regulatory hurdles, and other government interventions that stifle growth. This often stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the crucial role businesses play in driving progress and prosperity.In This Week's Economy, I'm diving into the principles of entrepreneurship—why it's so essential and why policies must support businesses to nurture the growth and prosperity they fuel. You can catch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify.Visit: VanceGinn.comSubscribe: VanceGinn.Substack.com
