 PHP Podcast – July 16, 2026 Hosts: Joe Ferguson, Sara Golemon, and Holly Schilling Joe hosts with Sarah and Holly while running on no sleep. The PHP Tech 2027 CFP opens, a fake PHP 9 pitch appears, we crown Holly the accidental main character of internals, and everyone agrees dark mode flashing white is a war crime. PHP Tech 2027 CFP Is Open (And Yes, the Year Is Right This Time) The big news kicking off the show is that the PHP Tech CFP for 2027 is live and open. You can find it over at Sessionize under php-tech-2027, and unlike a certain demo from the previous week, the date on it is actually correct. There was a brief moment where it displayed 2007, but the team fixed that rather quickly, so credit where credit is due. The crew marveled at the fact that we are somehow less than six months out from 2027, which spiraled into a conversation about kids getting learner’s permits, full beards showing up on children who were toddlers just yesterday, and whether anyone’s offspring might actually submit a talk. Helldivers came up. Freedom was spread. And there was a gentle suggestion that SoCalKid and their newly engaged fiancé should be sent the CFP URL immediately. Meanwhile, PHP Tech 2026 videos are rolling out on PHP Tech TV. There are currently 37 available with more still processing thanks to some technical and room issues at the event. Several talks are completely free, including Joe’s talk on modernizing DevOps, Kaylin’s “Modernize Your Old School Endpoints with HTMX,” and both of Ben Ramsey’s talks. Working Groups, Discord, and the People Who Actually Care The conversation turned to the internals process and Ben Ramsey’s working group proposal on the internals mailing list, which the crew encouraged everyone to actually read. The idea of giving working groups some autonomy and even decision-making power drew broad agreement as a way to produce more fully-fleshed RFCs rather than one person’s implementation of a giant feature. A recurring point of confusion is the reference to “Discord conversations” in RFCs. There is no official PHP.net Discord, but phpc.chat will get you to the Discord (and previously the bridged IRC). The PHP Internals channel is where a lot of discussion happens, though far from the only place, and there are also the PHP Foundation and new Foundation Ambassadors channels. Big appreciation went out to the moderators keeping that Discord spam-free and troll-free, with a special shout to Tiffany, who is an absolute machine at helping people, pointing them in the right direction, and posting top-tier cat pictures in the pet flexing channel. The recurring theme: decisions are made by the people who show up. Silence is acquiescence, and if you have issues, speak up. Holly famously just showed up in internals one day, started talking, and they let her stay. This Week in Internals and the Co-Scientist Show Joe wanted to highlight Artisan Build’s YouTube channel, specifically their “This Week in Internals” videos. They are fantastic recaps of what’s happening in the internals world, complete with a very light sprinkling of extremely dry comedic timing that lands perfectly. The videos break down email threads and RFCs into easily digestible summaries of what people are arguing over, then poke a little fun at the sillier arguments. A weekly recap drops regularly and it’s consistently great content for anyone curious about internals. The crew was also impressed by the host’s ability to nail every name pronunciation on what seems like the first try, which spiraled into Holly’s confession that she has a hard memory limit on names learned after kindergarten. Anyone new is simply “out of bounds.” Holly’s Fake PHP 9 Pitch: Structs, Modules, and Surfaces Holly walked through a blog post on eventuallywrong.com featuring a fake PHP 9 pitch full of flagship features she’s prototyped. It kicked off with extensions, which she discovered didn’t exist while trying to build the Longhorn app in native PHP, landing her at the top of that internals video. Next came structs, which started as an attempt to build tuples (turns out full structs were easier). They’re Swift-style value types with strong typing, and after some grumbling at Larry, she reworked things to support interfaces and traits, leaning into composition over inheritance. Modules got the PHP-style treatment: a simple module definition, a public interface declaration, and a new `internal` visibility level that lets members be accessed within the same module. No autoloader modifications required, and reflection remains the escape hatch as always. Finally, surfaces — a keyword that adds a perpendicular-to-visibility scope. A method can belong to a surface, and callers simply declare they want to use that surface of the class. Holly performance-tested it: no impact if unused, minimal impact if used. She also spent a good chunk of the show against friend classes, arguing they’re leaky, unrestricted, and if you’re going to hand out full access to your privates, you shouldn’t have marked them private in the first place. Release Management, Version Stats, and Upgrade Paths Holly is a first-time PHP 8.6 release manager alongside Matteo Beccati, with veteran Daniel Scherzer (also on 8.5) rounding out the team. She stepped down from RM in a prior election because others wanted the work — a reminder that people stepping up in open source is a rarity worth celebrating. Release management, she noted, is less a social job and more about moving data at the right time and signing things. The July 2026 PHP version stats got a thumbs up. Looking at the trends, 8.5 is clearly on the rise, 8.4 climbing slightly, 8.3 starting to trend down, and 8.2 falling harder — exactly the curve you want, with the vast majority sitting inside the support window. Joe shared that upgrading apps from PHP 7 to 8.3/8.4/8.5 has been a much easier lift than the older 7.x hops, thanks to a more consistent release cadence and better deprecation guidance. Holly pushed back on the idea that 5.6-to-7 was ever hard, while Joe pointed out the real pain came from jumping ancient 5.0/5.1 codebases straight to 7 back before Claude existed. There was also a very in-depth debugging tangent about an opcache build flag no longer being needed on 8.5. Accessibility, Dark Mode Crimes, and the JetBrains Survey The JetBrains State of PHP survey is open, and everyone should go take it — there’s even a chance to win one of five vouchers. This led to a discussion about whether JetBrains usage is being decimated by AI tooling, with Holly living almost entirely in the terminal with Claude Code these days while Joe remains loyal to PHPStorm and PyCharm. Sarah, who is going blind and is not joking about it, kicked off a passionate segment on accessibility. Test your apps with a screen reader. Respect font scaling and contrast (F0F0F0 text on white is a genuine crime). Respect the OS toggles for reduced motion, because autistic users and others depend on them and apps routinely ignore them. The crew then united around dark mode etiquette: the only reasonable default is system-selected, and the white flash between two dark-mode pages is caused by JavaScript-based theme switching instead of sane CSS selectors. It is, universally agreed, the worst. The episode closed on eye-tracking privacy (Apple Vision Pro good, Oculus terrifying), heat maps, and a laptop-camera-covering tangent that got appropriately unhinged before Joe called it on that bombshell.

À certains moments d'une carrière, continuer ne suffit plus. Après quinze ans en IMOCA, trois Vendée Globe et une longue histoire bâtie avec Bureau Vallée, Louis Burton a choisi de repartir presque de zéro en Ultim, lui qui n'a presque aucune expérience en multicoque. Une autre vitesse, une autre culture, une autre manière de naviguer, et la signature d'un marin qui trace depuis ses débuts sa propre route.Cette capacité à rebondir ne date pas d'hier. Rien, dans son parcours, ne le destinait à la course au large professionnelle. Né loin des ports, il découvre la voile enfant en Bretagne, restaure ses premiers bateaux pendant ses études, enchaîne les régates avec les moyens du bord avant de saisir l'opportunité de la Route du Rhum 2010. En quelques années, il passe des courses en flotte en IRC aux pontons du Vendée Globe, porté par une énergie qui compense souvent le manque d'expérience.Au fil des campagnes, Burton construit une méthode. Derrière le skipper se cache un entrepreneur qui refuse d'opposer performance sportive et développement économique. Monter des projets, fidéliser des partenaires, construire une équipe et anticiper les cycles de quatre ans deviennent des leviers aussi importants que les choix météorologiques ou les réglages du bateau. Une approche qui lui permet de s'installer durablement parmi les références de l'IMOCA, jusqu'à finir sur le podium du Vendée Globe 2021.Le projet Armand Thiery s'inscrit dans cette continuité. Plutôt que de rechercher un simple remplaçant à son sponsor historique, Louis Burton imagine un programme sur une décennie, articulé autour d'un Ultim - l'ancien Macif de François Gabart - capable d'évoluer progressivement et d'attirer un club d'entreprises. L'objectif n'est pas de gagner immédiatement, mais de bâtir les conditions de la réussite sur le long terme.L'historie du Malouin d'adoption raconte moins une succession de résultats qu'une façon d'avancer. Transformer les périodes d'incertitude en opportunités, accepter de repartir d'une feuille presque blanche et conserver intact le plaisir d'aller sur l'eau : c'est cette logique qui relie ses premiers bords à L'Île-aux-Moines, ses Vendée Globe et désormais son entrée dans l'univers des géants volants.Diffusé le 10 juillet 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Théo LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

As the crew of the Little Snail and the Sourcerot investigators continue to delve the depths of the Castle Eschatonica, new voices are heard in the air. For those in the western half of the castle, the voices are brusque and severe, shaped to fit the prepared phrases necessary for a most hospitable war. But in the east, the voices lilt and shine, like dewy petals in a breeze. Is such a sound an invitation or something more nefarious… This week on perpetua: Escape the Rumbling Castle! 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.06] Some Feedback [Page 66 of 68] TheUnforgivenIII So uhhhh does anyone have any tips for the minigame in the antechamber? I'm hitting all the buttons right, but I keep losing, and I want the best outcome. Alukard83 I don't think the outcome actually matters. You just get like, a little buff if you win. CarlsSr Well you're definitely not hitting ALL the buttons right   TheUnforgivenIII I'm. Hitting. ALL. The BUTTONS. RIGHT.!!!! xXZelgadyskXx So I got stuck on this one for a WHILE until we spent like five hours testing it out together on IRC. Here're my tips: Accuracy is more important than speed. If you miss more than three button presses, you're GOING to come into second, no matter how fast you go.  Pick your dominant hand (so if you're right handed, use the face buttons, if you're left handed, use the d-pad). Speed IS still important. If your party leader doesn't have at least 15 by the time one of the other characters has 18, you're just not going to win. Reset and start over. For me, whistling a song that's the right pace really helped. I did "Row Row Row Your Boat" but as if "Your Boat" never happens. Just: Row Row Row Row Row Row Row, et cetera, you know? Finally, don't worry about it. You just get like a little buff I think. CarlsSr I think I'm the one all hitting buttons, buddy.

"What is magic? Magic is deception, but deception designed to delight, to entertain, to inspire. It is about belief. Faith." Today we discuss the recent exciting data presented by Epicrispr and their EPI-321 gene therapy at the IRC , and more importantly, we discuss what they (shockingly) did not say, present, or disclose. Hmmmm..... While it is inconceivable (to us) that a company would not test if their specific treatment was actually working, it is equally unconscionable that a company (with the help of their foundation partners) would knowingly mislead the community, so we know that is not happening, but we do have some questions and look forward to clarification and real validation in the future.

As Washington and Tehran move toward a deal to end their war, have months of conflict simply restored the status quo? Former German Foreign Minister and current President of the U.N. General Assembly Annalena Baerbock discusses the diplomatic difficulties facing the United Nations. Then, as President Trump abandons his calls for regime change in Iran, journalists Bozorgmehr Sharafedin and Yeganeh Torbati discuss their new book 'Stolen Revolution' - a deep dive into why successive uprisings in Iran have failed. Amid World Cup fever, Christina MacFarlane reports on a football club in England helping bereaved fathers find connection and support. On World Refugee Day, Christiane speaks with 'The Pitt' star and International Rescue Committee ambassador Sepideh Moafi, who was born in a refugee camp after her family fled Iran, alongside the IRC's Sherine Ibrahim. From the archives, we look back at Christiane's report from the height of the European migration crisis, when she joined a rescue operation in the Mediterranean in 2015. And finally, as Americans mark Juneteenth, a reminder of the words of lawyer and activist Bryan Stevenson who reflects on the importance of remembering both the victory of emancipation and the enduring legacy of slavery.

While the focus this week has been on the MOU between the US and Iran, the G7 was also discussing Russia's war with Ukraine, committing to support the Zelensky government while strengthening sanctions on the Kremlin. But where has the United Nations been, historically the global conflict resolution mechanism? UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock joins Christiane to discuss the state of war, peace, and the future of the UN.   Also on today's show: actor Sepideh Moafi ("The Pitt"), a former refugee from Iran who serves as an ambassador for the IRC, joins IRC official Sherine Ibrahim to discuss World Refugee Day; former New York Times correspondent Susan Saulny.

In this episode, James sits down with Brent White and Tim Roberts, senior principal security consultants and covert entry specialists at Dark Wolf Solutions. They trace a remarkable journey together from teenage hijinks exploring phone phreaking, bump keys and IRC channels in the early 90s to running full-spectrum physical red team operations against some of the most secure government facilities in the world. Along the way they share the lessons and common mistakes for anyone entering the field, drawn from years of hard-won experience, alongside some unforgettable stories. That includes a creative attempt to infiltrate a facility using a stray cat, the covert card-cloning clipboard they use to lift staff RFID badges in plain sight, and the unique challenge of explaining "weaponized cat" in a report destined for high-ranking officials. They also open up about their quieter work, volunteering to help law enforcement disrupt human trafficking rings and online predators, something they have been doing since they were teenagers.

Randy Plumlee specializes in energy code and building performance with SPEER or the South Central Partnership for Energy Efficiency as a Resource which is one of six regional Energy Efficiency Organizations. Jason Helm is the CEO for Texas Home Energy Professionals. In this conversation you will hear the three of us debate whether the International Energy Conservation Code requires both Whole House controlled mechanical ventilation and local, or spot, exhaust ventilation systems to be tested to achieve the flow rates required by the International Residential Code or IRC.  This is of special interest to me since I introduced the proposal in the 2021 IECC for this testing requirement and I definitely have a point of view. Randy and Jason do as well.  Let's see what you think after listening to the conversationRandy Plumlee on LinkedIn SPEERJason Helm on LinkedInThe Home Energy Rating Systems CouncilRESNET Home Certification Organizations (HCOs)Building Science Institute (BSI)John Krigger's Residential Energy

“It's what we call a new world disorder: 60 wars, 120 million people - refugees and displaced, 300 million people hungry, plus another 45 million according to the World Food Program as a result of the constrictions in the Strait of Hormuz. That's a disordered world. And people can inveigh against international institutions as much as they like, but the problem we're facing is not that there's too strong an international system - it's too weak.”Caitríona Perry speaks to David Miliband, President of the International Rescue Committee.Miliband, who was previously British Foreign Secretary, first took up the post in 2013, overseeing the New York-headquartered organisation whose humanitarian relief operations are active in over 40 war-affected countries.As the world navigates multiple conflicts across the Middle East and Africa, in places such as Sudan, Lebanon and Gaza, humanitarian crises continue to grow.They are further compounded by cuts to international aid, the breakdown of the rules-based order, plus trade and shipping difficulties due to the conflict in Iran.This means aid organisations like the IRC are increasingly having to adapt how they respond.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

Scott Cameron is a two-time Emmy Award-winning creative leader who has spent his career executive producing international adaptations of Sesame Street, bringing this iconic brand to audiences in 190 countries and 31 languages. He joins us for this special episode to talk about what 57 years of research-driven storytelling has taught him about how story actually changes people.

Send us fan responses! If you've ever wondered whether an LLC is real protection or just paperwork, we go straight into the uncomfortable part: courts can still connect you to your company when the separation isn't real. From the hills over downtown LA, we talk privacy, risk, and why “moving quiet” becomes a strategy once your name, location, and money are visible.We break down a layered asset protection approach: LLCs as pass-through entities, holding companies in charging order protection states, and the “alter ego doctrine” problem that can pierce the veil when your business and personal life blur together. Then we step into the most debated part of the conversation, a trust structure the host describes as a non-grantor irrevocable complex discretionary spendthrift trust. He ties it to trust taxation concepts and cites IRC 643(b), arguing it changes how certain income items are treated under the governing instrument and local law. This is technical territory, so we keep it practical: what questions to ask, what to verify, and why licensed legal and tax advice matters before anyone tries to implement a plan.We also get into the mechanics that make or break real-world business finance: documentation, invoices, receipts, profit-sharing agreements, and why cash flow often matters more than chasing a perfect credit score. We close with what's next for the private community, including updates on services and the Las Vegas Memorial Day weekend plans.

What if some of the most important applications of AI today have nothing to do with productivity, marketing, or enterprise automation, and everything to do with helping people survive crisis, displacement, and uncertainty? In this episode, recorded at, I sit down with André Heller Pérache to explore how technology originally designed for customer service has evolved into humanitarian infrastructure supporting refugees and displaced communities around the world. André shares the story behind Signpost, a global digital initiative from the International Rescue Committee that now operates across roughly 30 countries and 25 languages, helping register more than 20 million users while supporting over 500,000 digital social work consultations. But this conversation goes much deeper than technology. We discuss what happens when trusted information becomes as important as food, shelter, or medical support during times of crisis. André explains how Signpost was born from the realization that vulnerable communities were already living digitally through smartphones, WhatsApp, Facebook, and social platforms while much of the humanitarian sector still relied on traditional offline systems. We also explore the responsible use of AI in high-stakes environments where mistakes can have real-world consequences for refugees, families, and vulnerable populations. André shares why the IRC sees AI as one of the humanitarian sector's biggest bets at a time when armed conflict, climate disasters, and shrinking budgets are putting enormous pressure on aid organizations globally.

At the time of our conversation Rich Truitt worked for Harford County Maryland.  He is now with the Internation Code Council. Rich began his career in the code world as a plan reviewer with Harford County, became the Chief Building Inspector and then served as the Deputy code Official.  I met Rich through our mutual interest in the continual development of the International Energy Conservation Code, and our conversation is based on Approved Third Party Inspection Agencies and his experience working with third parties who are assisting with Energy code enforcement.  The good, the bad, and the ugly.Our conversation was long, so I broke it up into two parts.  Part one introduces Rich and defines the IECC as a stand-alone code vs. the energy code in chapter 11 of the IRC. We also speak to how code officials, architects, builders are currently understanding how to work within the energy code, and finally we speak to sections in chapter one that come before the Approved Third-Party Inspection Agency section which we speak to in Part two of our conversation.Rich Truitt on LinkedIn Harford County Maryland RESCheck Software

As tech and AI transform productivity and free us from rote work, will humanity finally crack happiness? Maybe not, warns Jonathan Haidt. This social psychologist, NYU professor and bestselling author of The Anxious Generation has spent years studying the links between happiness, technology, and societal change. Unless key steps are taken, he says, the technologies transforming work and communication could pull humans further from a sense of meaning, connection and purpose, taking happiness even further from our grasps.  To progress on any big challenge ahead will depend on restoring focus, trust, and purpose. Haidt warns that AI and social media may be weakening all three—making intentional leadership more critical than ever. He shares research-backed insights that can help us better understand a fragmented, distracted world and the urgent challenge this brings to leaders running teams in a changing AI era. Key Takeaways: Where happiness really comes from - and what people often misunderstand Understanding the attention crisis and what's contributing to it How AI and digital habits fragment attention and decision-making and undermine trust Simple practices and approaches to reclaim focus, connect with others and lead meaningful change more effectively This interview was recorded in January 2026 at the Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

In March 2012, the FBI surrounded a hurricane-rated steel door in Galveston, Texas. Behind it sat 30 year old Higinio Ochoa, drinking coffee in his boxers, flushing his one-time pad passwords down the toilet before letting federal agents inside. The operation to capture "w0rmer" had finally terminated.The process had initialized years earlier in childhood IRC rooms and 2600 chat channels. Ochoa taught himself to hack on dial-up connections, installing FreeBSD from thirty floppy disks at eleven years old. By his twenties, he was running cameras and internet infrastructure for Occupy Wall Street camps. When he witnessed police beating a woman having a seizure during a raid, something switched. The technical skills pivoted toward purpose.Cabin Crew launched with surgical precision. Ochoa mass-scanned police systems for SQL injections and admin pages, often not knowing which department he'd compromised until crafting the press release. He signed every hack, tagged every defacement, live-tweeted FBI taunts. His girlfriend posed in a bikini outside the Alabama Department of Public Safety holding signs that read "PwN3D by w0rmer" with GPS coordinates embedded in the photo metadata.Today he consults for governments and holds battlefield accommodations from Ukraine. The smooth hands that once broke into Secret Service-designed systems now defend critical infrastructure at levels where people could die if information leaks.TIMSTAMPS00:00 The Early Days of Hacking04:22 From Hobbyist to Activist08:30 The Shift to Purposeful Hacking13:16 The Rise of Cabin Crew17:58 The Psychology of Hacking and Branding21:11 The Origins of Wormer: A Hacker's Journey25:10 The FBI's Approach: How They Caught Me27:50 The Day of Reckoning: My Arrest Experience32:44 Life in the System: Mental Struggles and Adaptations36:18 Navigating Post-Prison Life: Challenges and Restrictions44:40 Navigating Life Post-Incarceration47:27 The Struggles of Redemption51:19 Finding Opportunities in a Stigmatized Field55:23 The Evolution of a Hacker's Journey58:46 Contributions to Information Security01:01:19 Words of Wisdom for Aspiring Hackers01:05:42 The Dream of a Cybersecurity Bar[Higinio “w0rmer” Ochoa – LinkedIn] - https://www.linkedin.com/in/x0hig Professional profile of Higinio Ochoa, a former Anonymous-affiliated hacktivist turned cybersecurity consultant, where he shares insights on security, research, and his work in the industry.[DEF CON Hacker Conference] - https://defcon.org/ One of the world's largest and most influential cybersecurity and hacker conferences, referenced in the episode as a key part of early hacker culture and later professional engagement.[Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)] - https://www.cisa.gov/ A U.S. government agency focused on cybersecurity and infrastructure protection, mentioned in relation to responsible disclosure and ethical hacking initiatives.[Cloudflare] - https://www.cloudflare.com/ A global web infrastructure and cybersecurity company where the guest briefly worked after prison, playing a role in his transition into legitimate security work.[The Pirate Bay] - https://thepiratebay.org/ A well-known file-sharing platform referenced in the discussion about monitored internet usage and security research environments post-release.

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. A piano appears in the park. Nobody knows who put it there. And somehow this turns into one of the best Hallmark movies of 2026.This week we're reviewing A Little Park Music starring Lacey J. Malley and Beau Mirchoff. When a mysterious piano shows up in the town gazebo and interferes with city business, uptight City Manager Ali is forced to team up with by-the-book rookie cop Ryan to get rid of it — only to discover that music, and love, are a lot harder to remove than either of them planned.We break down why the leads absolutely crushed their roles, the surprisingly layered writing that actually explains WHY these characters are the way they are (a rare Hallmark treat), the stakeout scene in the back of the pickup truck that had us completely charmed, and the little piano mystery woven through the whole movie that we didn't see coming. We also have a full yoga corner moment — Andrea has thoughts on that instructor. IRC breaks down why Beau Mirchoff keeps showing up in Hallmark movies and consistently delivering.Plus — IRC is fully hooked on Frankie Drake Mysteries (despite having strong feelings about the hair change in Season 2), Andrea is loving All Creatures Great and Small, and we have a whole conversation about Murdoch Mysteries being edited on Hallmark Plus in ways that are… noticeable.⭐⭐⭐⭐½ Andrea: 4.5 Stars   |   ⭐ IRC: Loved itChaptersCalculated from transcript at 184.5 wpm against actual runtime of 20:35.0:00 — Welcome to Hallmark Mysteries and More1:03 — What We've Been Watching: All Creatures Great & Small2:46 — Frankie Drake Mysteries & Murdoch Edited on Hallmark Plus5:45 — A Little Park Music — Plot Overview6:05 — Andrea's Review: 4.5 Stars8:31 — IRC's Review: Endearing Leads & Small-Town Setting12:25 — What We Didn't Like (Spoiler: Nothing)12:35 — Standout Scenes: The Yoga Class & Beau Mirchoff's Understated Charm16:22 — Romance: Believable Chemistry & the Stakeout Scene18:52 — Similar Movie Recommendations20:13 — Next Week: To Philly with Love & OutroMovies & Shows MentionedHaunted Harmony — little mystery + music, recommended if you want more of bothSummer of Dreams (2016) — Pascale Hutton, Robert Gant & Debbie Gibson; former pop star + small-town music teacherThe Way to You — IRC's pick; unique and charming earlier 2026 HallmarkHidden Gems — Beau Mirchoff's first Hallmark appearance discussedFinish Line — Beau Mirchoff's second Hallmark appearance discussedAll Creatures Great and Small (PBS) — Andrea's current evening pleasure watchFrankie Drake Mysteries (Hallmark Plus) — IRC's current obsessionTags#ALittleParkMusic #HallmarkReview #HallmarkMovies #HallmarkChannel #LaceyJMalley #BeauMirchoff #HallmarkMysteriesAndMore #HallmarkPodcast #CozyTV #SpringMovies #HallmarkRomance #FrankieDrakeMysteriesFollow us on social media: Instagram and TikTok: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website. This podcast was created by fans for fans and is NOT affiliated with or sponsored by Hallmark or the Hallmark Channel.

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. The goats delivered. The humans? It's complicated.This week we're back in Hope Valley for “Trading Places” — the episode where Rebecca applies her medical skills after Nash breaks his leg, strikes an accidental bargain to plow a field for lumber, and somehow ends up doing the job of about six people at once. We break down what we loved (that field plowing scene, the dinner bet, the Tom and Rebecca dynamic quietly inching forward), what felt like filler, and why the goats were the undisputed MVPs of the hour.We also have some thoughts on Olivia's very sudden shift from Mountie Monty to rugged Clayton — and why that trope drives us absolutely crazy. Plus the conversation takes a legendary detour into Andrea's childhood pig show disaster at the county fair, complete with a runaway pig, a very unimpressed judge, and an answer to “name your favorite cut of pork” that her father has never forgiven. Is Hope Valley slipping into the same slow-burn rut as When Calls the Heart? We weigh in. We also make a case for why Lachlan deserves a Christmas lead, why Jill Hennessy is criminally underused, and IRC compares the whole time period to Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman — which may actually be the better show.Eric is also heading to Napa for his anniversary, which naturally turns into a full ranking of every Hallmark vineyard movie ever made.ChaptersCalculated from transcript at 178.6 wpm against actual runtime of 17:26.0:00 — Welcome to Hallmark Mysteries and More0:14 — Trading Places — Episode Overview & What We Liked2:30 — Rebecca Plows the Field (In Real Time)2:42 — The Dinner Bet, Ben's Performance & Tom–Rebecca Dynamic5:36 — What We Didn't Like: Filler Episode Feeling6:19 — Olivia's Flip-Flopping Between Monty & Clayton7:34 — The Goat Scene & Andrea's Legendary Pig Show Story12:14 — Standout: The Goats & Jill Hennessy's Priceless Look13:00 — What We're Hoping For: More Action & More Lachlan14:19 — Final Thoughts & Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman Comparison15:57 — Outro: IRC's Napa Anniversary Trip & Hallmark Vineyard Movies Shows & Movies MentionedHope Valley — episode reviewed: “Trading Places”When Calls the Heart — compared as the slow-burn cautionary taleDoctor Quinn, Medicine Woman — recommended for same time period, possibly betterValentine/Summer/Autumn in the Vineyard — Rachael Leigh Cook & Brennan Penny trilogyMartha's Vineyard Mysteries — briefly mentioned, debatedTags#HopeValley #HopeValleyReview #HallmarkMovies #HallmarkChannel #WhenCallsTheHeart #JillHennessy #LachlanMacready #HallmarkMysteriesAndMore #HallmarkPodcast #CozyTV #PeriodDrama #DoctorQuinnFollow us on social media: Instagram and TikTok: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website. This podcast was created by fans for fans and is NOT affiliated with or sponsored by Hallmark or the Hallmark Channel. 

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. This week we're reviewing A Season to Blossom, Hallmark's spring romance starring Emily Tennant and Carlo Marx. An aspiring writer returns to sell her late grandmother's bookstore, rediscovers her voice and her roots, and finds herself falling for her childhood crush all over again. It's the old-school Hallmark comfort we've been craving — and it actually feels like spring.We break down why the chemistry between the leads is so believable, why the seasonal living themes hit harder than you'd expect, the surprisingly accurate yoga breathwork scene, the bookstore aesthetic, the cats, and the tire swing scene we didn't see coming. We also catch a quiet little continuity mistake no one else seems to have noticed (elderberry vs. elderflower — you'll know it when you hear it), talk through a missed cameo opportunity that could have been SO fun, and recommend the Hallmark movies to watch next if you loved this one. Plus — Andrea made a last-minute $157 flight to Florida for spring break, drove her in-laws' new car back to Minnesota, and survived the worst hotel neighbors imaginable in Atlanta. IRC was watching Hallmark in his Vegas hotel room while his wife was at Def Leppard and has strong feelings about paper-thin walls.⭐ IRC: Loved it   |   ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andrea: 4 StarsChaptersCalculated from transcript at 189 wpm against actual runtime of 20:06.0:00 — Welcome to Hallmark Mysteries and More0:16 — Andrea's Last-Minute $157 Flight to Florida1:43 — Road Trip Horror: The Atlanta Hotel From Hell2:48 — IRC's Vegas Hotel Story3:28 — How IRC Found A Season to Blossom on TV3:43 — A Season to Blossom — Plot Overview4:07 — Andrea's Review: Seasonal Living, Yoga & the Bookstore5:56 — IRC's Review: Old-School Hallmark Done Right8:52 — Behind the Scenes: Filmed in Freezing December9:52 — What We Didn't Like: The Elderberry Mistake11:36 — Missed Cameo Opportunity12:40 — Standout Scenes: Tire Swing & Flower Shop14:35 — Romance & Secondary Relationships17:19 — Similar Movie Recommendations19:47 — Next Week Preview & OutroMovies MentionedFollow Me to Daisy Hills — small-town store as centerpiece, father relationship, reunion romanceA Novel Romance — Hallmark bookstore romanceFrozen in Love — Luke MacFarlane & Rachel Leigh Cook, hockey player + bookstoreTaking a Shot at Love — Luke MacFarlane, Alexa PeñaVega, dance studio Tags#HallmarkMysteries #ASeasonToBlossom #HallmarkReview #HallmarkChannel #EmilyTennant #CarloMarx #HallmarkMovies #SpringMovies #HallmarkMysteriesAndMore #CozyTV #HallmarkPodcast #BookstoreRomance #SeasonalLivingFollow us on social media: Instagram and TikTok: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website. This podcast was created by fans for fans and is NOT affiliated with or sponsored by Hallmark or the Hallmark Channel.

After exploring the branching wings of a multi-dimensional dungeon the ad-hoc mega party joined back up. The lost keys have been retrieved. Their missing photographer has been recalled. The door to the central tower of the Castle Eschatonica will open. Will they find answers inside, or only more riddles from the mysterious and cosmic being known as Gnova? This week on on Perpetua: The Castle Eschatonica 07 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.0584] Hey Everyone… [Page 01 of 01] FriendOfNei First of all, I just want to say sorry. I know how much I let everyone down when I left suddenly. I know that it feels a little bit like I threw a big temper tantrum over nothing, and looking back on it I sort of did. But without getting into it, I also was going through some big real life stuff at the time, and I was really feeling like I was already disappointing everyone IRL, so to suddenly be messing up here too really hit hard. Second, wow! You guys really outdid yourselves with the FAQ updates.  Anne, I love all the lore connections you made to the previous games, I never would've known half that stuff. Zelgadysk, I cannot even imagine how long it took you to map out ALL the masks from ALL the different clans/houses in Alteros. That's unbelievable. Unforgiven, I know we have different ideas for what goes into a strategy guide, but I think you really did show me the benefit of including some additional info. I might just try to do something like that in the next battle update! And Alukard, believe it or not, it was reading your update that got me to pick the game back up. Seeing all of those names and story bits… it made me SO CURIOUS about where everything was going… so I had to pick the controller back up. Anyway. Thanks so much everyone. I hope you're all doing okay. If it's okay with you all, I'd like to start up on the walkthrough again. I'll incorporate all of your additions and even add your names to the credits. What do you think? Doom_Tree_Anne OMG of course! So glad to have you back Nei!  XxZelgadyskXx I'd love that, Nei. DM me on IRC and we can talk about the details! Alukard83 You got it, bud. Us true gamers gotta stick together. TheUnforgivenIII I'll be honest, I thought you were too chicken to ever come back around here. Pretty cool that you did. So hell yeah, but only on the condition that I can keep sending you tips to add when you leave them out. CarlsSr lol i knew youd come back TheDiamondRanger Do you need me to send you any scans of the official strategy guide to help?

In this episode, Claudia Saric and Spencer Michiel sit down with Cody Bates, restaurateur, hospitality leader, and co-founder of Bates Co.- the group behind Kansas favorites like the Burger Stand, Taco Zone, Bon Bon, and the art-driven Cider Gallery. Over the past 17 years, Cody and her husband, Simon, have grown a single neighborhood burger spot into a portfolio of creative, community-focused concepts.Cody shares her journey from a 22-year-old barista and student to running multiple restaurants, including the early days of flipping a $2,500 kitchen into a gourmet burger spot. She reflects on lessons learned from building a business without investors, developing a unique staff culture with livable wages, and navigating the challenges of tipping, hospitality fees, and pandemic-era disruptions.Beyond her restaurants, Cody is a board member of the Independent Restaurant Coalition and founding board member of the Lawrence Restaurant Association, fighting for workforce sustainability and independent small business resilience. She also discusses how her background in art and passion for creating “third spaces” inspired the Cider Gallery, a thriving combination of gallery, event space, and catering hub.Listeners will gain insight into what it takes to innovate in the restaurant industry, prioritize community and staff, and balance creative vision with sustainable operations. Cody's story is a testament to how independent restaurateurs can make a meaningful impact—both locally and nationally - while staying true to their values.Key Takeaways:Building a restaurant business organically without outside investorsStrategies for livable wages, team culture, and equitable tip-sharingCreating multi-use spaces that combine dining, art, and communityAdvocacy for independent restaurants on national policy issues like credit card fees(00:52 – 02:53) – Introduction & Early BeginningsMeet Codi Bates, restaurateur and community advocate, and hear how she and Simon started their first burger spot in Lawrence, Kansas.(02:54 – 06:03) – From One Restaurant to a Growing PortfolioThe story of how Bates Co. expanded from a single gourmet burger concept to multiple locations, learning on the fly.(06:04 – 09:31) – Wearing All the Hats: Lessons in OperationsInsights on running a restaurant, solving problems from plumbing to tech, and being hands-on in every aspect of the business.(09:32 – 16:41) – Staffing, Wages & Creating CultureHow Codi built a team-focused culture, implemented livable wages, experimented with a hospitality fee, and maintained trust with staff and guests.(16:42 – 18:10) – The Economics of Independent RestaurantsUnderstanding razor-thin margins, community impact, and why independent restaurants reinvest most of their revenue locally.(18:11 – 25:28) – Expanding Into Unique Concepts & Community SpacesFrom Taco Zone to Bon Bon to the art-driven Cider Gallery—how creative spaces and mixed-use concepts shaped Bates Co.'s growth.(25:29 – 27:11) – Advocacy & the Independent Restaurant CoalitionCodi discusses her national work with the IRC, advocacy efforts, and issues like credit card processing fees affecting the industry.(27:12 – 32:00) – Credit Card Fees & Financial ChallengesDeep dive into the Credit Card Competition Act, the real costs of card processing for independent operators, and how these policies affect restaurants' bottom line.(32:01 – 36:00) – Supporting the Independent Restaurant CommunityThe role of advocacy in workforce sustainability, small business resilience, and Codi's perspective on keeping independent restaurants thriving post-COVID.(36:01 – 40:30) – Lessons Learned & Advice for RestaurateursCodi shares key takeaways from 17+ years in hospitality, advice for aspiring operators, and reflections on balancing passion, community, and business.(40:31 – End) – Closing Thoughts & What's Next for Bates Co.Codi wraps up with insights on future projects, maintaining authenticity, and continuing to create community-centered restaurant experiences.Brought to you by Back of HouseYour most trusted resource for restaurant tech.

2.1 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water. Solving this problem will take more than charity - it will take innovation and a new approach to scaling partnerships, building awareness and raising funding. In this episode, Water.org's co-founders Matt Damon and Gary White share key efforts to fix the 'financial plumbing' connecting people and capital, helping to bridge the water gap for 85 million around the world, including: Water Credit (a specialized microfinance solution funding safe water and sanitation solutions) and Water Equity (an asset manager mobilizing private investment in water and sanitation). The two explain why creating an economic flywheel for change can bring truly sustainable solutions. They also share what they've learned about scale and from each other in a partnership that has now spanned 17 years and the role a new campaign for the public, Get Blue, can play. This episode was recorded at the Annual Meeting in Davos in January 2026.

A nonprofit based in Portland Oregon that works to ensure the U.S. housing market recognizes the elements of a home that create climate risk and values the characteristics of a homes that provide climate solutions. David spent 15 years designing, building, and remodeling homes in Portland. His award-winning company, Coho Construction Services, became known as a local and national leader for adopting new technologies and striving for high levels of sustainability. As his company migrated to working on more existing homes, he helped found Earth Advantage and became their director, where he has become a national leader in the effort to develop and deploy energy labeling systems into the residential market. Home performance labeling system put data in the consumers hands helping them better understand what they are purchasing and the value of better performing homes. As you will hear toward the end of your conversation, David and I went down a rabbit hole of if the IECC requires a builder to heat or cool a house because of its hyper focus on the building thermal envelope.  I was able to find on Section R325.8 Required heating of the IRC where there is a requirement to every dwelling unit is required to maintain a room temperature of not less than 68 degrees.  There is no requirement in the IRC for cooling of a homeDavid Heslam on LinkedIn Earth Advantage The Green Building RegistryAppraisals Will Look Very Different in the Near Future—AreYou Ready?

The insured lives in a single-family home in Austin, Texas. While hanging a shelf on the wall in one of the bathrooms, the owner drilled right through the metal stud, directly into a plumbing pipe, causing water damage to the wall and to the carpeting on the floor. (Yes, you heard that correctly, carpeting…in the bathroom!) Should there have been some type of pipe protection near the stud? And, does code even allow carpeting in a bathroom?   Notable Timestamps [ 00:08 ] - The scenario involves a homeowner drilling into a metal stud and puncturing a plumbing pipe, causing water damage to the wall and bathroom carpet. [ 01:15 ] - The hosts discuss home "deal breakers" and vintage advertisements. [ 05:39 ] - PLRB's Building Code Address Report confirms Austin enforces the 2021 IRC and 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC). [ 06:09 ] - Under the 2021 UPC, pipes within one inch of a metal stud must be protected by at least 18-gauge steel nail plates extending beyond the pipe's diameter to prevent drill punctures. [ 09:28 ] - The IRC clarifies that permits are not required for finish work such as carpeting. [ 09:56 ] - Code limits absorbent materials only at the actual tub or shower floor surface. In other words, carpet elsewhere in the bathroom is only prohibited by common sense and not by model building codes. [ 11:25 ] - While model codes allow bathroom carpeting, local ordinances may impose stricter sanitary rules, so adjusters should always verify municipal amendments before reaching conclusions. [ 13:52 ] - Ruth summarizes the key points of this episode.

By a quirk of fate (and the meddling of a peculiar being named Gnova), two bands of adventurers came crashing into each other in the middle of the Dragon Path. After greeting each other and gaining an invitation to the mysterious Castle Eschatonica, they crossed the debris of echoed worlds, dodged the hungry eyes of a dragon-owl, and made their way into the castle. Now they face challenges like they've never yet seen… This week on Perpetua: The Castle Eschatonica 02 Perpetua Guide [Temporarily On Hold - v.0599] Some Feedback [Page 56 of 56] TheUnforgivenIII So I guess Nei is never coming back huh.

Above Spillaway Peaks, the crew of the Little Snail has found signs of a horrible corruption, tainting not only the town's oxen and their food, but perhaps of something even more fundamental. With only one clue to go one—the presumed whereabouts of a mysterious food seller—they travel further up the mountains in search of answers. What they find will draw them deeper into adventure than they ever could've imagined. Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] Some Feedback [Page 32 of 32] XxZelgadyskXx You KILLED the little paladin egg guy? Doom_Tree_Anne Well the thing is, the only character I had left standing was Nicky, and he'd already declared a bond of hatred against the Sentishell, and it seemed like the only winning outcome I really had left. So I didn't have a choice n.n;;;; Alukard83 That's crazy! I would just load my save if that happened to me. TheUnforgivenIII Brutal… But that's the way the world is. Sometimes its life or death. Him or you. You know? And when that happens you gotta fight with your whole heart. If you hold back at all your gonna die. Killing is what it takes to be a hero. TheDiamondRanger No way. A real hero never kills anyone, like Batman or Spider-Man. TheUnforgivenIII The real world isn't like those cartoons. It's blood in blood out, little man. Plus, Batman doesn't even have a sword. If he did, he'd probably kill a LOT of people. FriendofNei Hey, someone just sent in a tip and said that something special happens if you finish the Sentishell fight with a complete Eastern Continent Act 1 save already? Anyone do this? Did you have to do anything special? XxZelgadyskXx OMG you didn't get that????? Come onto IRC, I'll message you!

On the western continent of Perpetua, four fated adventurers set out on a prophesied journey.  While to the east, in the Elevana League, a trio of travelers began to investigate a metaphysical sickness. What, if anything, connected these two groups? Who was powerful enough, invested enough, to watch each from above or below—besides you and I? Perhaps, if not for the impending stress of a familial reunion and the ever present struggle between one's responsibilities to their culture and to themselves, the brilliant, Terrapine inventor Jonathan would find the perspective necessary not simply to answer these questions, but to intuit that they exist at all. Yes, I think that if it were laid out for him, he would see the patterns by now, the etchings and the echoes.  But we… We have the perspective, the maps, the right roles: Storyteller and listener. And we have the chapters open in front of us: The Shadow of the Dragon Tower. The Flames of Burzin, Journey to the Bay. On Track to Iron Chains. Sizzling Rivalry. Crashing Waves. A Roar Across Cenn. Aquatic Ambush. In Too Deep. Indeed, those seven adventurers were themselves "in too deep" to know what was about to happen, to sense that there even were other heroes like themselves, whose stories carried a strange and powerful resonance. You will learn soon that they were not the only heroes across Perpetua's many cycles. And perhaps this will be part of a new map you can come to understand in time. A map which will raise a new question: Are these echoes part of a careful, yet uncanny balance in the cosmic play of our lives? Or a poetic rhyming that keeps existence itself aligned?  This week on Perpetua:  Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] Some Feedback [Page 29 of 30] CarlsSr Hey I have a question: Why does Jonathan's family suck so much @$$? XxZelgadyskXx Great question Carl! Nice to see you make a more substantive post!  I definitely understand why it might seem that some of his family isn't great, but I think they're just frustrated with how long he's been away. Even for a Terrapine, that many decades seems like a long time! It also seems like they're going through a little bit of a family crisis with how his mom is getting older and sicker. Maybe if we saw them in the old days, before he left, they'd be a little more likable! TheUnforgivenIII Yeah right, once an asshole, always an asshole. The truth is that Jonatahna is a bad ass who doesn't need his family. They can't make flaming guns out of thin air. They don't have a sick ride. All they do is hold a guy like him back. Plus their music f'ing SUCKS. Doom_Tree_Anne Wow Zelgadysk, do you ever do any RP on IRC? Sounds like you'd play a great Jonathan. XxZelgadyskXx No comment! But join the server, I'm sure some people would love to talk RP with you.  Alukard83 I think it's easy to get mad at a video game family that's been written to make you mad. Real family is tougher to deal with, because a lot of times you love the same people who really tick you off. That shit is tough! CarlsSr Yeah.  [Extra words added to reach minimum word count.] XxZelgadyskXx Do you think Jonathan's little sister feels the same way about him that you feel about your family, Unforgiven? TheUnforgivenIII I didn't say SHIT about my family, asshole. My dad is a kick ass bike mechanic and my mom used to be a rock station DJ. Way cooler than Jonathan's dumbass church family.
