I recently got to visit supervising sound editor John Loranger, from Netflix's hit series Wednesday, at his studio in the Toronto area. We spent the afternoon talking about his work on this fantastical series and it's many audio challenges. These include creature vocal designs for the many different characters, finding comedy in the chaos, and discovering the right tone for this unique genre. We also touched on what it is like to work with legendary director Tim Burton and how important the entire audio post team is. _____SPONSORS: Sound Ideas works with partners across the media and creative industries to distribute professional sound libraries, and they're always looking to grow their collection.

Barrett Gruber is back with a rapid solo breakdown of a week in politics that somehow managed to be even more chaotic than usual — and that's saying something.First up: Trump turned 80, and naturally celebrated by hosting a UFC fight on the White House lawn. Barrett breaks down the spectacle, the conflict of interest questions it raises, and what it says about the current relationship between political power and entertainment. When the president's birthday party is a nationally televised combat sports event, the lines between governance and performance have officially dissolved.Then the episode shifts to the story with the most real-world consequence: the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict and Trump's attempted peace deal. Barrett walks through the timeline carefully, noting that while ending a war would be significant, the timing and framing matter enormously. As he puts it, "Iran drew the line at being used as a birthday gift" — and the gap between a genuine diplomatic breakthrough and a political photo op is one voters need to understand.Closer to home, Barrett turns to the South Carolina gubernatorial primary and the runoff dynamics taking shape. His assessment of the field is blunt and quotable: "same platform, different shade of beige." With candidates largely indistinguishable on policy, Barrett argues that voter engagement — not candidate enthusiasm — is what will determine the outcome.The episode closes with an important civic reminder: verify your voter registration before the next election. South Carolina deadlines sneak up fast, and showing up matters more than ever.Topics Covered:Trump's 80th birthday UFC event on the White House lawnConflict of interest concerns surrounding the White House UFC fightThe U.S.-Iran conflict timeline and peace deal prospectsClick Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Why timing and framing of diplomatic deals mattersSouth Carolina gubernatorial primary and runoff dynamicsWhy SC's candidates are hard to distinguish on policyVoter registration verification ahead of SC electionsBarrett Gruber | LinktreeBill Kimler | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeBlack White Blue in the South | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeDr. Jumelle Brooks | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Mentioned in this episode:BIG Media Copyright 2026BIG Media LLCZJZ DesignsCheck out the 4th of July Heart Designs for this Independence Day!

As America approaches its 250th birthday, a new NBC News poll paints a sobering picture of the nation's mood. Michael speaks with NBC senior national politics reporter Jonathan Allen about why most Americans believe the American Dream is harder to achieve, why trust in institutions has eroded, and why many think the country's best days are behind it. Is this simply a rough chapter in American history—or a sign of something deeper? A conversation about patriotism, pessimism, politics, and whether Americans still share common values.

"Congratulations to all!" Read the President's tweet on truth social. Nominally, this was about the end of the (self-imposed) Iran war. But it's also possible Trump was congratulating himself on his 80th birthday, which somehow managed to hijack the 250th Independence Day anniversary.So why was there a cage fight on the White House lawn? What does Joe Rogan really make of Trump now? And why - if there's a ceasefire - are the Iranians insisting the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

“As early as 1805, you had orators getting up there — barely twenty years after American independence was recognised by Great Britain — saying: the Republic is over. We've had it. So there is a tradition of calling it the end times.” — Nathan Perl-Rosenthal It's less than three weeks until America's big birthday bash. But what exactly will be celebrated this 250th Independence Day? In The Long Revolution: Creating a United States After 1776, the historian Nathan Perl-Rosenthal read some 2,500 July 4 orations delivered in the hundred years after independence. And what he found is that most Americans didn't believe that the revolution was really over. Orators often unfavourably compared the American Revolution to the French, Spanish American, and European revolutions of 1830 and 1848. They argued bitterly about slavery. As late as the 1870s, leading orators were insisting that the revolution was unfinished because the truths of the Declaration of Independence had not yet been fully worked out. Fast forward to 2026 and Perl-Rosenthal suggests a return to the kind of sustained public dialogue that the oratorical tradition once represented. So put down your smartphones on July 4 and tell the world where America currently is and where it should go. The act of oration, Perl-Rosenthal suggests, is not just a civic act, but essential to the country's long revolutionary tradition. So happy birthday America. And many many more. Five Takeaways •       100,000 Orations: The Archive Nobody Knew About: In the first century after independence, an estimated 100,000 July 4 orations were delivered across the United States — roughly a thousand towns and villages, each holding an annual address for a hundred years. Of those, 2,500 survive in published form as pamphlets, now collected in a digital database at fourthofjulyorations.org. These are not peripheral documents. They were delivered by the most prominent public figures of their day — lawyers, clergymen, politicians — before large audiences. They are among the richest sources we have for what ordinary Americans actually thought about their revolution and their republic. •       The Revolution Was Ongoing: Most Orators Believed This Well Into the 1870s: The single most striking finding of Perl-Rosenthal's research: most orators, deep into the nineteenth century, did not regard the revolution as a completed historical event. They saw themselves not as commemorating it but as participating in it. As late as the 1870s, leading orators were insisting the revolution remained unfinished. One orator in Boston in 1870, in a debate about immigration policy and Chinese exclusion, argued that the revolution could not be over because the inalienable rights proclaimed in the Declaration had not yet been universally extended. The parallel to the immigration debates of 2026 is, Perl-Rosenthal suggests, striking. •       The Orations Were Critical, Not Triumphalist: Perl-Rosenthal went into the archive expecting, as he puts it, “rah America.” He found something quite different. Many orators compared the American Revolution unfavourably to other revolutions: to the French in the 1790s, to Spanish American revolutions in the 1810s and 1820s, to the European revolutions of 1830 and 1848. The comparisons often did not flatter America. Wealthy Bostonians giving the prestigious Boston oration — one of the oldest and most prominent in the country — would argue explicitly that the founders had failed to deal with slavery. The critical tradition was mainstream, not marginal. •       1876 as the Turning Point: When the Tradition Died: The July 4 oration tradition effectively ended after 1876. That year, Congress for the first time asked towns and cities to deliver historical rather than political orations — accounts of local history rather than arguments about the present. A tenfold increase in orations was followed by a rapid collapse of the tradition. The shift was significant: from argument to commemoration, from an ongoing political conversation to a museum piece. The practice of serious sustained public political dialogue — an hour or more, in public, about the state of the republic — has not recovered. •       A Low, Dishonest Period: What the Tradition Offers Now: Mark Lilla's blurb: “a low, dishonest period in our history. This surprisingly timely book reminds us of our responsibilities.” Perl-Rosenthal is not catastrophist about the current moment — he notes that orators were calling it the end times as early as 1805. But he is clear about what is missing: a forum for sustained public argument about where America is and where it should go. The smartphone generation, he acknowledges, is unlikely to sit through an hour-long oration. That, he suggests, is precisely the problem. About the Guest Nathan Perl-Rosenthal is a professor of history, French and Italian, and law at the University of Southern California. He has been a fellow at Harvard and Cambridge. He is the author of The Long Revolution: Creating a United States After 1776 (Basic Books, June 2, 2026), Citizen Sailors: Becoming American in the Age of Revolution (Belknap/Harvard), and The Age of Revolutions. His writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, The Nation, and the Los Angeles Times. He lives in Los Angeles and Cambridge, Massachusetts. References: •       The Long Revolution: Creating a United States After 1776 by Nathan Perl-Rosenthal (Basic Books, June 2, 2026). •       fourthofjulyorations.org — the digital database of 2,500 published July 4 orations referenced throughout. •       Eric Foner — Perl-Rosenthal's dissertation adviser at Columbia, referenced as still giving July 4 orations in his Connecticut town. •       Mark Lilla — referenced for his blurb: “a low, dishonest period in our history.

What does it take to build safer communities from the inside out? In this episode, Barrett Gruber sits down with Jenny Desch — prosecutor, community advocate, and candidate for South Carolina House — for a substantive, policy-rich conversation that covers domestic violence reform, healthcare access, education funding, and the rapid growth reshaping Fort Mill.Jenny opens up about her path to law and what drew her toward criminal justice and prosecution. She shares the realities of building a domestic violence unit from the ground up — identifying the gaps in the system, understanding the cycle of abuse, and designing interventions that balance accountability for offenders with real support for survivors. It's a candid, informed perspective that goes far beyond talking points and into the mechanics of how the legal system succeeds and fails victims every day.The conversation expands into healthcare, where Jenny makes the case that access to mental and physical health resources isn't just a quality of life issue — it's a public safety issue. Her philosophy is straightforward: "Healthy kids grow into healthy adults." She outlines specific initiatives she'd champion in the SC House to close the gaps in healthcare access that leave too many South Carolina families behind.Education funding gets a similarly detailed treatment, with Jenny addressing the inequitable distribution of resources across districts and what equitable, outcomes-focused education policy could look like in practice. The episode also tackles Fort Mill's explosive growth — the infrastructure pressures, development concerns, and community safety challenges that come with being one of the fastest-growing areas in South Carolina.Whether you're a Fort Mill voter, a policy wonk, or someone who wants to understand what thoughtful local leadership looks like, this episode is required listening.Topics Covered:Jenny Desch's background and path to criminal prosecutionBuilding a domestic violence unit and addressing systemic gapsUnderstanding the cycle of domestic violence and intervention strategiesBalancing accountability and rehabilitation in the justice systemHealthcare access and mental health initiatives in South CarolinaEducation funding and equitable resource distribution across districtsFort Mill's rapid growth and development concernsCommunity safety and law enforcement collaborationCampaign strategy and Jenny's vision for SC HouseDesch For House | FacebookDesch for House | InstagramJenny Desch for SC State House 26Barrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:Check Your Voter RegistrationVisit https://theallaboutnothing.com/voter to check your registration!

Description:Week three of our alien invasion franchise. Luke, Chris, and Peter take on the most politically charged film in the series. District 9 flips the alien invasion on its head. The aliens have been here for 20 years and humanity's response isn't wonder, isn't spectacle, it's a refugee camp, barbed wire, and forced relocations. Neill Blomkamp grew up during apartheid in South Africa and made a $30 million sci-fi film that holds a mirror to everything from immigration policy to corporate exploitation to what happens when the "other" has nowhere left to go. Peter Jackson gave a first-time director full creative control after their Halo movie collapsed. The lead actor had never acted before. Every alien in the film is played by one guy. And the whole thing was nominated for Best Picture. From Close Encounters' obsession to Independence Day's spectacle to District 9's refuge, the alien invasion franchise gets real.Live at 8:15pm CT.

The primaries are over — now it's time to make sense of them. Barrett Gruber and Bill Kimler reunite for a post-primary breakdown that goes well beyond the headlines, pulling from firsthand experience on the ground in South Carolina to give listeners the kind of analysis you won't find in a standard news recap.Bill opens up about his role as a rover on primary day — essentially tech support for polling locations — and what he witnessed firsthand about voter engagement, polling issues, and the logistical realities of running an election in South Carolina. If you've ever wondered what actually happens behind the scenes on election day, this segment is eye-opening.The results conversation centers on Jermaine Johnson, whose victory Barrett describes as a clear mandate — and a reminder that money alone doesn't win elections. The panel digs into why well-funded candidates sometimes fall flat while others build the kind of genuine constituent relationships that actually move voters. As Bill puts it simply: "Money can't buy me love."The Democratic side showed surprising unity compared to the Republican field, where the dynamics are messier and the predictions less certain. Barrett and Bill analyze both parties' candidate performances, discuss the challenges of voter registration and polling access, and look ahead to what the next two weeks — and the general election — might bring.The episode also covers some exciting developments in the broader South Carolina political media landscape, including the anticipated launch of a new podcast from Katrina Sheeley, potential lieutenant governor candidates worth watching, and reflections on what political accountability actually looks like when campaigns end and consequences begin.This is the post-primary debrief South Carolina political watchers have been waiting for.Topics Covered:Bill Kimler's experience as a rover and election day tech supportSouth Carolina primary results and what they meanJermaine Johnson's mandate and the limits of money in politicsVoter engagement, turnout, and polling access issuesDemocratic unity vs. Republican candidate chaosPredictions for the Republican nomineeKatrina Sheeley's upcoming political podcastPotential lieutenant governor candidates in SCPolitical accountability and the consequences of campaign choicesBarrett Gruber | LinktreeBill Kimler | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeBlack White Blue in the South | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:BIG Media Copyright 2026BIG Media LLCCheck Your Voter RegistrationVisit https://theallaboutnothing.com/voter to check your registration!

Barrett Gruber is joined by returning favorites Bill Kimler and Amanda Guzman for one of the most wide-ranging Kinda Daily Show conversations yet — equal parts sharp political commentary and genuinely unfiltered humor. If you've missed this crew together, this episode delivers.The conversation kicks off with Barrett reflecting on his solo run since February and the unexpected challenges of keeping a panel show going when guests ghost you. From there, things get real fast — the panel digs into transgender rights and the ongoing culture war over bathroom access and gender-neutral spaces. It's a topic that could easily get heated, but Bill and Amanda bring personal perspective and humor that keeps the conversation grounded and honest.The political commentary picks up steam as the panel turns to speculation about Trump's health and what it means — or doesn't mean — for his hold on power and public perception. Then it's on to the South Carolina primaries, which Barrett doesn't hesitate to call a political circus. The panel breaks down the chaos of open versus closed primaries, the confusion among voters who don't fully understand how their participation affects future election mail and party registration, and why ranked choice voting might be the fix nobody in power wants to talk about.The conversation also takes a detour into redistricting — both in South Carolina and New York — and what it means when maps drawn behind closed doors determine whose voice actually counts. The disconnect between urban and rural voters, the influence of Trump endorsements on down-ballot races, and the dynamics of the Democratic primary field all get the panel treatment.The back half of the episode loosens up considerably — cultural identity, food heritage, UFC media invitations, presidential dignity, sports and politics, and a genuinely funny thread about basketball knowledge round out a conversation that earns its runtime.Bill Kimler, currently serving as campaign manager for Dr. Jumelle Brooks in SC House District 12, brings insider perspective to the SC primary discussion that you won't get anywhere else.Topics Covered:Barrett's solo podcast journey and the search for co-hostsTransgender rights and bathroom politicsGender-neutral bathrooms and shifting public normsTrump's health speculation and public perceptionSouth Carolina primary chaos and voter confusionOpen vs. closed primaries and ranked choice votingRedistricting in South Carolina and New YorkCultural identity, food heritage, and regional dynamicsUFC, media invitations, and celebrity political culturePresidential dignity and humor in political discourseDemocratic primary dynamics and candidate challengesBarrett Gruber | LinktreeBill Kimler | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeBlack White Blue in the South | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:Check Your Voter RegistrationVisit https://theallaboutnothing.com/voter to check your registration!

What did the earliest Independence Day celebrations look like in South Dakota? On this episode of History 605, we dive into the archives to explore a fascinating era, which brought together a diverse cast of historical figures. Long before they shaped the future of the state.

Episode 309 is the kind of conversation that starts with Elon Musk and ends with meteorites — and somehow it all makes sense. Barrett is joined by returning guests Shelby Spencer and O'Shawn McClendon Jr. for a wide-ranging, unfiltered panel that covers technology, society, fear, community service, Halloween, and the strange psychology of everyday life.The episode opens with a deep dive into Elon Musk's expanding empire — Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, Starlink — and what his outsized influence on technology and politics actually means for society. The panel doesn't hold back on the contradictions, the myths, and the real questions surrounding automation, AI, and what happens when innovation outpaces humanity's ability to keep up. As one panelist puts it bluntly: "AI might render society useless." So what do we do with that?From existential tech anxiety, the conversation pivots to something more grounded — community work and the complicated reality of nonprofit service. The panel explores the burden of altruism, the joy of giving back, and why doing good is rarely as simple as it sounds.Then things get fun. The panel unloads some genuinely unpopular Halloween opinions, tackles the media-driven fear around Halloween safety, and separates real danger from manufactured panic. O'Shawn, whose work with haunted attractions gives him a unique vantage point, brings firsthand perspective on the thrill of fear, the psychology of haunts, and why people actually enjoy being scared. The panel also takes on the fentanyl moral panic — noting that "fentanyl has been around since the 80s" — and challenges the narratives around harm and intent that shape public perception.The back half of the episode gets personal and philosophical, with the panel exploring social anxiety, family dynamics, adult social interactions, and what it means to navigate organizations and communities with your sanity intact. It closes on a genuinely unexpected note: a surprisingly fascinating detour into meteorite bursts, sonic booms, and the kinds of natural phenomena that put all of our daily anxieties in perspective.This one has something for everyone — and it moves fast.Topics Covered:Elon Musk's ventures and influence on technology and politicsAutomation, AI, and existential questions about society's futureElectric vehicles and the reality of the CybertruckCommunity service, nonprofits, and the burden of altruismUnpopular Halloween opinions and real vs. manufactured safety fearsThe psychology of harm and why people cause itFentanyl, public perception, and media panicDanger vs. fear as a mental modelHaunted attractions and the thrill of controlled fearSocial anxiety, adult social dynamics, and family boundariesMeteorite bursts, sonic booms, and atmospheric phenomenaShelby Spencer | InstagramO'Shawn McClendon | InstagramBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeCayce-West Columbia JayceesClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:Check Your Voter RegistrationVisit https://theallaboutnothing.com/voter to check your registration!

John Yoo returns to usher in SCOTUS opinion season, joining James and Steve for some friendly debates on law, politics, and most controversially, more than a few matters of taste. For our democrats in the audience, we've got chatter on California vote counting and Alabama map battles. News from the UK reminds us that the royalists are in even worse shape, as authorities there prove to be as confused in dealing with speech as they are with violence. Thankfully, Scott Pelley brings us a much-needed restorative laugh, and the gang finds something to agree on as they count down to the semiquincentennial. That's right: even petty celebrities can't rain on our Independence Day parade!Sound this week: CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil says goodbye to Scott Pelley while Fox News' Brit Hume finds it all amusing.

California Congresswoman Judy Chu (D) got into a vicious back-and-forth with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent today during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing. In a shocking display of ignorance Congresswoman Chu didn't know who the president was during World War One. Are aliens among us? Seth certainly thinks so. We're joined by Johnny Estes, Vice President of Operations, and Shannon Estes, President of CMI Gold & Silver. Supporting Graham Platner, a candidate for Senate in Maine who has been accused of serial abuse, is untenable for rank-and-file Democrats. New polling suggests Democrats are choosing to skip celebrating Independence Day this year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BEEF Let's start with the bad news. We've been expecting this to happen for several months, yesterday the USDA announced the discovery of the New World Screw Worm infecting a calf in La Pryor, Texas, about 50 miles north of the border. This will keep the border closed to live animals for the foreseeable future, keeping pressure on the already small domestic beef herd. The New World Screw worm is a flesh-eating parasite that has been eradicated from the US since the 1970s, but it's back! Control measures include releasing sterile male flies to reduce population growth. This is certainly worth keeping informed about. Now, with that bit of cheery news, let's look at current beef markets. Last week was a holiday week so harvest was only 448K head. Demand remains good, not great. I'm expecting to see market moves higher as we head to Independence Day. Grinds continue to increase every day. Middle meats were struggling to move higher the last couple weeks, but they are back on track with steady moves higher, again I think right into Independence Day. Thin meats, brisket, flanks, sirloin flap, are mostly steady to lower. This continues to be a market with tight supply, make sure to stay ahead of your needs. POULTRY The decline in boneless skinless breast meat continues next week. The heavy production we've seen so far this year is finally catching up a bit on the suppliers. They are discounting breast meat to keep it moving. Tenders are holding steady another week while wings finally bottomed out last week and are moving up, just a bit, but they are moving up again. The avian flu reports over the last week, 7 new cases affecting 107K birds, mostly ducks. GRAINS Soy was up like a rocket all week, until today. There will be increases in soy oil in the short term, hopefully we can see this turn back down. Wheat is giving back all its recent gains and we should see some lower prices on wheat. Corn closed at $4.39 today down from last week's $4.62. New crop estimates will not be pushing this market higher anytime soon.  PORK Pork bellies closed today at $120 up from last week's $112. This is still great pricing for this time of year. I do expect bellies will be moving higher into the summer. One analyst estimated we could see $180 bellies which should be about the top end of this run. Butts continue to be in demand and pushing prices up. Ribs getting the same push higher. Loins are holding steady, don't see anything to push them higher right now.  DAIRY CME Thru Thursday's close Butter is up 7, taking back all those recent declines. Both barrel and block are down 1. Production is good, I don't see much to push cheese higher right now. Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

The Martians are here and they're out for blood. Or rather, your complete and utter vaporization from the face of the earth. Run to the hills as these invaders withstand everything from A-bombs to bibles. Is there nothing that can stop them? We discuss this and more: special effects wizardry, Cold War thematic underpinnings, its legacy (Mars Attacks and Independence Day anyone?) and the legacy of H.G. Wells' original novel that continues to challenge our notions of war and conquest. Ah, just a little lighthearted conversation you know?But thank you all for listening!

They take on the MSNBC host who attacked Mike Johnson for saying exactly what's written in the Declaration's preamble, expose how Zohran Mamdani's socialism collides with the founders' vision, and explain why every family should read the Declaration of Independence out loud this Independence Day.

On today's Kinda Daily Show, Barrett Gruber cuts through the noise on three stories that demand serious attention — a controversial new political fund that critics are already calling a slush fund, a Middle East conflict with global consequences, and a South Carolina case that exposes deep cracks in the American justice system.First, Barrett takes a hard look at the Anti Weaponization Fund — a $1.8 billion initiative that, depending on who you ask, is either a shield against government overreach or the very thing it claims to oppose. Barrett unpacks the mechanics of the fund, the political motivations behind it, and why some are pushing back with what's being called the "Drain the Slush Fund Act." If public money is being used to settle political scores, you deserve to know how and why.Next, the Iran conflict. Now dubbed "The 12 Day War," the US-Iran confrontation has entered ceasefire negotiations — but Barrett reminds us we're in "week eight of one more week," and skepticism is warranted. He breaks down what the ceasefire talks actually mean, what's at stake in the broader Middle East, and why the impact on global oil prices and the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve affects every American at the pump, not just foreign policy watchers.Finally, Barrett returns to one of the most painful stories to come out of South Carolina in recent memory — the Cyrus Carmack-Belton case. With the justice system delivering an outcome that left many in the community devastated and outraged, Barrett examines what the verdict reveals about systemic failures in how cases involving race, power, and accountability are handled in South Carolina. South Carolina State Representative Todd Rutherford's response to the case also factors into the conversation.This episode is educational, unflinching, and essential listening for anyone who wants to understand not just what is happening — but why it matters.Topics Covered:The Anti Weaponization Fund and the "Drain the Slush Fund Act" controversyThe US-Iran "12 Day War" and the state of ceasefire negotiationsMiddle East tensions and the impact on global oil prices and the US Strategic Petroleum ReserveThe Cyrus Carmack-Belton case and justice system failures in South CarolinaPolitical implications of military funding and legal decisionsBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:BIG Media Copyright 2026BIG Media LLCZJZ DesignsCheck out the 4th of July Heart Designs for this Independence Day!

On Monday, June 1st, FedEx Freight CEO John Smith rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate the fact that the company is now operating (and trading) independently. This story dates back to the summer of 2024, when the idea of separating out FedEx's LTL operating unit was just a very believable rumor. Now they are the largest LTL provider in North America, and what one outlet described as a $9 Billion startup, with 40,000 employees. And yet, for all of the company-led fanfare, the media coverage was… uninspired? With one notable exception that is…  In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner covers what we know about FedEx Freight's immediate plans for their corporate freedom: - What they plan to focus on as a company, both from a growth standpoint and operationally - Where the company stands on the question of emissions reduction, regulatory changes, and driverless fleets - How soon we might have some idea of how successful they will be   Links: Will FedEx Freight hit the open road?

Barrett Gruber is back with another rapid-fire solo breakdown on The Kinda Daily Show, and this week did not disappoint when it comes to political theater, controversy, and genuinely consequential news that deserves your attention.First up: the Great American State Fair, which promised a massive patriotic event and delivered something far messier. Barrett unpacks what went wrong, what it reveals about the intersection of spectacle and politics, and why this story is about more than a failed fair.Then there's the UFC fight card on the White House lawn — because apparently that happened. Barrett examines the optics, the controversy, and what it says about how power is being performed in 2025. As he puts it: "Trump became the concert." When the president is the main event, what does that mean for everything else on the card?Closer to home, Barrett digs into the South Carolina gubernatorial primary, where the field is getting crowded and the rhetoric is getting loud. Nancy Mace has dubbed herself the "Iron Lady" — and Barrett has thoughts. If you're a South Carolina voter, this segment is essential listening ahead of the primary.The episode then shifts to the most serious topic of the week: the escalating US-Iran conflict and the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Barrett breaks down what's at stake — militarily, economically, and diplomatically — and why oil prices being "significantly elevated" is just the beginning of what this conflict could cost ordinary Americans.The episode closes with a clear-eyed reminder about the importance of early voting and civic participation in South Carolina, with resources to help you check your registration and get to the polls.Stay informed. Stay engaged. That's the whole point.Topics Covered:The Great American State Fair collapse and what it reveals about politics and spectacleThe UFC fight card on the White House lawn and the controversy surrounding itSouth Carolina gubernatorial primary dynamics and key candidatesThe US-Iran conflict, Strait of Hormuz closure threats, and rising oil pricesEarly voting in South Carolina and how to participateEpisode 308 with Shelby Spencer and O'Shawn McClendonBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:BIG Media Copyright 2026BIG Media LLCCheck Your Voter RegistrationVisit https://theallaboutnothing.com/voter to check your registration!

Episode 308 is equal parts personal and political — a candid panel conversation that moves from the deeply human to the urgently civic, and finds the thread connecting them both.Barrett opens with a milestone worth celebrating: consistent podcasting since 2020, now well past 300 episodes. But he doesn't linger on the achievement — instead, he gets honest about what's kept him grounded through it all, including his sobriety journey since March 4th and the role that mental health awareness has played in his life on and off the mic. It's a rare, unguarded moment that sets the tone for everything that follows.Joined by O'Shawn McClendon Jr. and Shelby Spencer, the conversation expands into the world around them. The panel digs into how social media shapes the way we see ourselves, our communities, and our politics — for better and often for worse. From the flood of information to the paralysis it can cause, they explore what it actually takes to stay engaged without burning out.From there, the discussion turns to voting, organizing, and the kind of collective action that creates real change. Barrett shares his straightforward philosophy — "I vote, I just show up at the polls" — and the panel unpacks why that simple act still carries enormous weight, especially when paired with community organizing and political awareness. They also explore the role of privilege in political engagement and what it means to show up for your community even when the system feels rigged against you.The episode closes with updates on The Haunt, a community engagement initiative in the works, and a reminder that consistency — whether in podcasting, sobriety, or civic life — is itself a form of resistance.Topics Covered:300+ episodes of podcasting and the power of showing up consistentlyBarrett's sobriety journey and the importance of mental healthSocial media's influence on perception, engagement, and political awarenessNavigating voter overwhelm and the case for simply showing upThe intersection of politics and privilegeCollective action and organizing for social changeThe Haunt: community planning and local engagementShelby Spencer | InstagramO'Shawn McClendon | InstagramBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeCayce-West Columbia JayceesClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:BIG Media Copyright 2026BIG Media LLCCheck Your Voter RegistrationVisit https://theallaboutnothing.com/voter to check your registration!
