Tune in here to this Wednesday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by discussing the influences and pressures of the modern era, where individuals in positions of power advocate for radical change, all in the name of equity. Do not allow these power-hungry hucksters to shake your beliefs or the founding principles of our great nation. We're joined by TJ Ritchie from the newly added TJ Ritchie Show from 7 to 9 right here on 99.3 WBT. Brett and TJ discuss some things they always like to cover on their respective shows, and what TJ has coming up on his show tonight. We're also joined by Breaking Brett Jensen to dive into the latest updates on all of the drama unfolding with the Charlotte City Council, from the indicted council member to hundreds of thousands paid out to Police Chief Johnny Jennings. We're joined by Coach Matt Doherty from Doherty Coaching to talk about President Trump's battle with Harvard regarding their support, or at least indifference, to groups of pro-Hamas protestors shaming Jewish students and even going so far as to assault them in some cases. It is also important to note that Harvard brings in Chinese students in large numbers, some of whom likely have ulterior motives. China isn't a free country like America; students from China can only come to America for college if they receive the go-ahead from the CCP.

In this episode of Vineyard Underground, host Fritz Westover welcomes Dr. Katie Gold, Assistant Professor of Grape Pathology at Cornell University, for a deep dive into how research drives informed spray program decisions in the vineyard. Dr. Gold brings her extensive expertise in grape disease management to the conversation, shedding light on how growers can use scientific data and field research to refine their fungicide strategies and protect their crops more effectively. Fritz and Katie explore the critical role of disease forecasting models, including how they are developed and validated, and why it's important for growers to go beyond the “calendar-based” approach to spraying. Dr. Gold emphasizes the value of using weather-based decision support tools and highlights ongoing research aimed at improving the precision and sustainability of vineyard disease management. Listeners will gain a better understanding of how academic research translates into real-world applications, from identifying pathogen resistance patterns to making timely fungicide applications. Katie also discusses the impact of underutilized research, how misinformation can spread in farming communities, and why continuous learning and outreach are essential for successful vineyard operations. In this episode, you will hear: Research-based spray programs outperform calendar-based models Disease forecasting tools help optimize fungicide timing and efficiency Growers should verify the reliability of sources when seeking vineyard advice Understanding fungicide resistance is key to long-term vineyard health Practical research translation is essential for sustainable vineyard practices Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

Sonnie Trotter is a world-renowned rock climber, father, husband, writer, and the author of the new book "Uplifted: The Evolution of a Climbing Life." For the past three decades, Sonnie has built a career as one of the most accomplished climbers of his generation— pushing standards, putting up first ascents, and bringing a sense of creativity, humility, and grit to every project he tackles. His new book is part memoir, part meditation on movement and meaning, and it's one of the most thoughtful and grounded climbing books I've read in a long time. In this wide-ranging conversation, Sonnie and I talk about the unexpected ways writing has shaped his life, how his approach to climbing has evolved over the years, and what it's been like to move from living out of a van to raising a family in the mountains of Canada. We also discuss how he's stayed grounded throughout his career, his relationship with sponsors like Patagonia, and why gratitude— not rage or ego— has been the driving force behind his decades of commitment to climbing. Sonnie also opens up about how parenting has shifted his perspective on adventure, freedom, and ambition—and how he and his wife are raising their kids in a way that emphasizes curiosity, effort, and joy. Whether you're a climber, a writer, a parent, or just someone trying to live a meaningful life, there's a ton of wisdom in this one. Sonnie's new book "Uplifted" is out now, and I highly recommend picking up a copy—you'll find a link in the episode notes, along with links to everything else we discussed. Hope you enjoy both this conversation and the book.

Do people drive less because they live in buildings that don't provide parking, or do they live in buildings that don't provide parking because they drive less? That question has huge implications for how we build and rebuild our cities, yet researchers have struggled for decades to answer it conclusively. UCLA professor Adam Millard-Ball joins us to discuss new research that finally — we hope — puts the question to bed. Taking advantage of San Francisco's affordable housing lottery, Millard-Ball and colleagues find that (as-good-as-)randomly assigning tenants to different buildings and neighborhoods has substantial impacts on their transportation choices, with lower parking ratios resulting in less driving and more transit use. We talk about what this means for housing and parking policy, and what it says about the behavioral shifts needed to make cities more affordable, accessible, and sustainable.Show notes:Millard-Ball, A., West, J., Rezaei, N., & Desai, G.

SEQUENCES No270 A brief update on the latest new names for this month's first edition. On the modular front, Anders Jakobsen aims to create a balance between noisy and harmonious sounds. We are in a live session with Danielle Nia. Thierry Holwerk is using a Serge Modular Synth, paired with field samples recorded from his source of inspiration. Mansur's sound journey navigates the realms of musical fantasy and reality, merging traditional instrumentation with contemporary electronica. Nettaiya is a groundbreaking New Age music project that fuses Eastern and Western influences into an ethereal sonic experience. Influences from Kraut Rock emerge on the track ‘Trippin With The Birds', with Stereo Lab and Nurse With Wound contributing to this fusion. After switching labels to Groove, Otarion's latest album release is undoubtedly his best yet, kicking off our session.

We spend a good amount of time going through the released audio of Special Counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Joe Biden, which was recorded in the fall of 2023. We ask how Axios got tha audio? Also, why the sudden push by the press to throw Joe Biden under the bus? We discuss some possibilities around that as well. A caller also reminds us of the really dumb online post by former FBI Director James Comey, who wants to pretend he didn't know what it meant to ask someone to "86" the current president of the United States of America. But, if he tries to lie under oath, he will likely be caught perjuring himself, in which case he will go to jail. And, if he admits he was putting out a call for an assassination, then he is going to jail. Either way, he is in a bit of a pickle. Back to Biden's utter incompetence, we hear from Rep. James Comer (R-KY) with an ongoing House Oversight Committee investigation into who used the Autopen to sign off on bills, Executive Orders and pardons? This leads Comer to want to depose senior staff and cabinet officials to ask who was really running the country? During the Vulcan Mind-meld, fellow broadcaster BK, from BK on the Air, joins me to discuss some of the influenses in our lives. We then discuss how we didn't list bands or music influences, but will likely have that discussion as a homework assignment for next week.

In this captivating episode of the Driving Change Podcast, host Jeff Bloomfield speaks with Dov Baron, a globally recognized leadership expert who explores his powerful personal journey from overcoming extreme adversity to becoming a sought-after coach for world leaders. Dov shares deeply insightful lessons about understanding the emotional source code that shapes our identities, beliefs, and behaviors, emphasizing curiosity, belonging, and genuine connection as foundations for meaningful change. Why You Should Listen: If you're interested in personal transformation, leadership growth, or simply understanding the psychological underpinnings of human behavior and identity, this episode is essential. Dov Baron's candid storytelling and profound insights offer practical approaches to fostering curiosity, challenging deeply-held beliefs, and creating genuine belonging in both personal and professional settings. Top 10 Takeaways: Your emotional source code deeply influences your identity and behavior. Identity isn't chosen; it's built on the meaning we assign for survival. Real change requires examining and challenging your identity. Curiosity is the key antidote to fear and judgment. Most beliefs are unconscious programming from our environment and upbringing. Real belonging happens when we are accepted authentically, not forced to fit in. Major life events don't inherently change us; our response and reflection afterward do. Tribalism and "othering" are rooted deeply in our survival instincts. Oxytocin can foster both deep connection and intense division. Change is a muscle that must be exercised consistently to overcome fear and resistance.

The relationship between generations often shapes the trajectory of careers, with parents serving as role models, mentors, and sources of inspiration for their sons and daughters. Whether through direct guidance, inherited talent, or the values instilled during upbringing, the influence of one generation on the next can lead to extraordinary achievements. Across sports, entertainment, and politics, certain parent-child duos have exemplified how legacies are built and carried forward. Whether the Griffeys and Earnhardts in sports, the Douglases and Sheens in entertainment, or the Bushes and Adamses in politics, the bonds forged between generations can create lasting impact for the world. But that dynamic is not exclusive to blood, often shared interests in fields like robotics can forge relationships that last a lifetime. FIRST, F-I-R-S-T (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), is a global nonprofit organization founded in 1989 by inventor Dean Kamen to inspire young people to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Kamen envisioned a program that would make STEM as exciting as sports, fostering innovation, teamwork, and leadership. The inaugural FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) was held in 1992 with 28 teams, challenging high school students to design, build, and program robots for competition. Over the years, FIRST expanded its programs to include groups of all ages. Today, FIRST serves hundreds of thousands of students annually across more than 100 countries, offering hands-on robotics challenges that emphasize creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration. Through partnerships with corporations, schools, and governments, FIRST has become a global movement, inspiring students to pursue STEM careers and shifting cultural perceptions to celebrate science and technology… alongside sports and entertainment. Here in Arizona, we have AZ FIRST, which is a chapter founded by Microchip CEO Steve Sanghi. Steve's journey of extending Kamen's vision started in 2002 as a regional organization supporting and promoting FIRST Robotics programs in Arizona. It serves as a hub for organizing events, securing resources, and encouraging collaboration among teams across the state. AZ FIRST hosts annual competitions, including the Arizona Regional for the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), and works to expand access to STEM education through outreach and mentorship. One key part of Microchip's involvement in AZ FIRST is the participation of its employees as mentors and advisors. In some cases, multiple generations of mentorship, like the story you're about to hear today. As we reflect on the profound impact of generational influence—whether through family legacies or initiatives like FIRST—it becomes clear that the future is shaped by the connections we make today. They remind us that success is not just about individual achievement; it's about creating opportunities for those who come after. Looking ahead, the call to action is simple yet powerful: find a way to engage with the next generation. Mentor, inspire, and invest in their potential. Whether through STEM programs, community outreach, or simply leading by example; by empowering young minds to dream big and equipping them with the tools to succeed, we ensure that innovation, leadership, and progress continue to thrive. The future is bright, and it belongs to those who dare to build it. How can Microchip Technology promote and strengthen these generational legacies?

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, we explore the portions of Tazria and Metzorah, focusing on themes of purity, spiritual growth, and the impact of environment. Drawing from the opening verse of Tazria (Leviticus 12:1), we discuss the concept of ritual impurity and parallels it with the order of creation, where mankind's purity follows that of animals, as explained by Rashi and the Midrash. We emphasize the importance of what we "plant" in our lives—both physically and spiritually—using the metaphor of sowing seeds to illustrate how our choices in food, media, and environment shape who we become and how our children develop. Through personal anecdotes, including his grandfather's journey to Torah scholarship and his own childhood experience in Brooklyn, Rabbi Wolbe underscores the need to protect ourselves and our children from negative influences, such as non-kosher food and harmful media. He also highlights the spiritual significance of kosher laws, explaining how they safeguard the soul, and shares insights into the Jewish concept of Gemachs (free loan societies) as acts of kindness that foster positive community influence. The episode concludes with a call to surround ourselves with virtuous environments to ensure spiritual and moral growth._____________This episode (Ep 7.27) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Tazria-Metzora is dedicated in honor of our President & in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on April 29, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 2, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

From nature versus nurture debates to the unique bonds that connect twins, Dr. Segal shares her groundbreaking research and personal stories that reveal just how much twins can teach us about human behavior, relationships, and even ourselves. You'll hear incredible insights into the genetics of twinning, the emotional intensity of twin loss, and the surprising science behind topics like IVF, surrogacy, and even doppelgängers. Get ready for heartwarming stories, real-life drama including a remarkable court case about citizenship and twin brothers born through surrogacy to gay fathers—and plenty of wisdom from both Dr. Segal and Grandpa Wayne. Whether you're a parent of twins, know a set of twins, or have ever wondered what life would be like with a carbon copy of yourself, this episode is packed with unforgettable tales, expert advice, and thought-provoking discussions you won't want to miss. Stay tuned—these are stories you truly have to hear to believe! Nancy L. Segal is a distinguished researcher whose work explores the unique bonds between twins. In her studies, she discovered that twins whether identical or fraternal tend to grieve the loss of their twin sibling even more deeply than the loss of a parent. This remarkable finding highlights the profound kinship twins share. Segal's curiosity extends to the complex web of genetics and relationships, noting that identical twins share all their genes, which might, in theory, make their grief even more intense compared to losing a child, with whom they share only half their genes. While she has yet to study how the loss of a child compares to the loss of a twin, Segal continues to ask thought-provoking questions about family, genetics, and the human experience of loss. Dr. Nancy Segal is a distinguished professor of psychology, developmental psychologist, director of the Twin Studies Center, and published author. Dr. Nancy Segal is an American evolutionary psychologist and behavioral geneticist, specializing in the study of twins. She is the Professor of Developmental Psychology and Director of the Twin Studies Center, at California State University, Fullerton.
