WELCOME TO THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I'm a Celtic musician and host of Pub Songs & Stories, where every song has a story and every episode is a toast to Celtic and folk songwriters. And what a week it has been. This past Sunday, March 8, we wrapped up the very first Irish & Celtic Music PodFest and Arts Market — and it was a fantastic afternoon. Big thanks to Kinnfolk, The Muckers, and May Will Bloom for bringing the music. Huge thanks to The Lost Druid Brewery for hosting us. Thanks to all the incredible vendors who showed up despite the threat of rain — and the eventual downfall of it. And thank you to everyone who braved the weather to celebrate Irish and Celtic music with us. You are all amazing. A very special thank you to Matt for his absolutely brilliant work behind the scenes. This event wouldn't have happened without him. And thank you to Maia for helping out at the table. If you want more Celtic music in Atlanta, there's a great Irish session up in Sandy Springs. I also play around Atlanta throughout the year. And mark your calendars — Irish Fest Atlanta is every November, and Stone Mountain Highland Games every October. Now it is St. Patrick's Day week. This is our second, and final, St. Patrick's Day special. So let's make it count. This podcast is for fans of all kinds of Celtic music. We're here to build a diverse Celtic community and support the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. If you hear something you love today, email the artist and tell them you heard them here. These are not corporate acts. They are small indie musicians who rely on people like you to keep creating. Please show your generosity. Buy a CD, Album Pin, shirt, digital download, or join their community on Patreon. You can find links to all of today's artists in the shownotes, along with show times, at celticmusicpodcast.com. You can also subscribe and follow the show there, so you never miss an episode. We'd love to have you with us every week. Oh! And if you weren't able to pick up an album pin from The Muckers, Kinfolk and May Will Bloom. Visit their websites so you can buy one. There were still some limited - edition pins available. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! You show up. Week after week, you show up. And because of that, so does this podcast. Your support carries this show through every season. The quiet weeks and the chaotic ones. The technical headaches and the moments when everything just clicks. You make it possible to keep Celtic music alive and moving in the world. Music and art won't solve everything. But they matter. They connect us. And your generosity keeps that connection going, funding new episodes, the Celtic Music Magazine, the graphics, and our long - suffering engineer who makes me sound like I know what I'm doing. This is the second, and final, St. Patrick's Day special of 2026. It wouldn't have happened without you. None of this would have. In return for your generosity, you get early access to episodes, music - only editions, free MP3s, exclusive stories and interviews, and your voice in the Celtic Top 20, helping crown the best Celtic bands and songs of the year. So from the bottom of my Celtic heart. Thank you. Slàinte!

In this solo episode of Referrals Done Right, Scott dives into one of the most common struggles entrepreneurs and sales professionals face: feeling busy all day but still feeling like nothing truly important got done. Inspired by conversations with newer agents and team members overwhelmed by endless to do lists, Scott shares a simple but powerful framework that has shaped his own productivity for more than a decade.Using the classic “Professor and the Jar” analogy, Scott explains how prioritization determines whether your day is productive or just chaotic. By focusing first on the big rocks, the most essential tasks that actually move the needle, you create clarity, conserve mental energy, and build momentum. When everything is labeled a priority, nothing actually is. This episode challenges you to rethink how you structure your day and offers a practical system you can implement immediately to take back control of your time and focus In this episode, you will learn:• Why traditional to do lists create overwhelm and drain your mental energy• The difference between essential priorities, pebbles, and the “sand” of your day• How limiting yourself to three key priorities can dramatically improve productivity• Why cognitive energy is a limited resource and how to protect it• A simple framework for structuring your day so the most important work gets done first---Scott Grates' Links:Referrals Done Right - https://www.referralsdoneright.orgReferrals Done Right FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/296359076662332Scott Grates Website - https://www.scottgrates.comLove Living Local  - https://www.instagram.com/lovelivinglocal315Scott's FB - https://www.facebook.com/scott.grates.1Scott's - https://www.instagram.com/scottgratesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@scott.grates

In a move that has left The Crisp—Athenia's high society—in a state of breathless shock, Mamey, the group's Goliath Barbarian, has physically claimed the Throne of the Shifting Palm. Resting her massive frame upon the black marble claw, she presents a stark, primal contrast to the delicate, golden-masked court. It is here that the divine intersects with the political: the goddess Craiglyna descends to grant an audience. Mamey, acting as a temporary sovereign, accepts a quest of cosmic proportions: to locate a mysterious Sonic Key. The image of a Barbarian sitting where the Grand Chip once lounged, bartering with a deity, signals a new era of "zest" for the nation-state.Away from the public spectacle of the throne room, the real power remains fluid. Malice Croy and her daughter Ash retire to the private inner sanctums to discuss the long-term survival of the Pussichipacy. The assassination attempt by the PNC remnants served as a wake-up call; the "crunch" of their rule must be sharpened. They weigh the merits of the potential suitors from Byzantium and the Neophyte Empire, debating which "flavor" of alliance will best preserve the Croy bloodline while keeping the Jar of Ashuma and its disintegrated katana fragments safe from those who would use them to "unseason" their reign.While the high-level politics unfold in the capital, Faust and Franklin are tasked with the grim reality of ground-level management. The goblin populations under the Hegemony's control have become unruly following the palace chaos. Eschewing the subtle manipulation usually favored by the Croys, the pair implements a more direct "cleanup". By systematically identifying and executing the dissenters among the goblin ranks, they restore a bloody order to the city's lower depths. It is a brutal reminder that in a Pussichipacy, those who do not "snap" under the Matriarch's bite are simply discarded like stale crumbs.The episode concludes with the Shadow Seekers more divided than ever, yet each holding a piece of the Hegemony's future. As Mamey prepares to hunt the Sonic Key, and Ash solidifies her role as the heir apparent, the "Salty Anchor" of their alliance has been pulled up. The world is no longer just a snack for the Croys—it has become a table set for a divine and corporate war.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, Jar faces a CID probe under the BUDS Act amid a surge in digital gold transactions. BillDesk acquires Worldline's India business for Rs 650 crore, deepening consolidation in payments infrastructure. India's IT leaders say AI adoption is complex and execution-heavy, even as tech budgets rise globally. And IDC data signals a sharp 12–15 percent drop in smartphone shipments in 2026, hit by supply crunch and rising costs.

This week our guest is author and JAR contributor Scott Syfert. In May of 1775, frontier Patriots from North Carolina gathered to declare independence from Great Britain. The document was lost to history, and some question whether it occurred at all. For more information visit www.allthingsliberty.com. 

Emmanuel et Guillaume discutent de divers sujets liés à la programmation, notamment les systèmes de fichiers en Java, le Data Oriented Programming, les défis de JPA avec Kotlin, et les nouvelles fonctionnalités de Quarkus. Ils explorent également des sujets un peu fous comme la création de datacenters dans l'espace. Pas mal d'architecture aussi.

News Langages Comment implémenter un file system en Java https://foojay.io/today/bootstrapping-a-java-file-system/ Créer un système de fichiers Java personnalisé avec NIO.2 pour des usages variés (VCS, archives, systèmes distants). Évolution Java: java.io.File (1.0) -> NIO (1.4) -> NIO.2 (1.7) pour personnalisation via FileSystem. Recommander conception préalable; API Java est orientée POSIX. Composants clés à considérer: Conception URI (scheme unique, chemin). Gestion de l'arborescence (BD, métadonnées, efficacité). Stockage binaire (emplacement, chiffrement, versions). Minimum pour démarrer (4 composants): Implémenter Path (représente fichier/répertoire). Étendre FileSystem (instance du système). Étendre FileSystemProvider (moteur, enregistré par scheme). Enregistrer FileSystemProvider via META-INF/services. Étapes suivantes: Couche BD (arborescence), opérations répertoire/fichier de base, stockage, tests. Processus long et exigeant, mais gratifiant.   Un article de brian goetz sur le futur du data oriented programming en Java https://openjdk.org/projects/amber/design-notes/beyond-records Le projet Amber de Java introduit les "carrier classes", une évolution des records qui permet plus de flexibilité tout en gardant les avantages du pattern matching et de la reconstruction Les records imposent des contraintes strictes (immutabilité, représentation exacte de l'état) qui limitent leur usage pour des classes avec état muable ou dérivé Les carrier classes permettent de déclarer une state description complète et canonique sans imposer que la représentation interne corresponde exactement à l'API publique Le modificateur "component" sur les champs permet au compilateur de dériver automatiquement les accesseurs pour les composants alignés avec la state description Les compact constructors sont généralisés aux carrier classes, générant automatiquement l'initialisation des component fields Les carrier classes supportent la déconstruction via pattern matching comme les records, rendant possible leur usage dans les instanceof et switch Les carrier interfaces permettent de définir une state description sur une interface, obligeant les implémentations à fournir les accesseurs correspondants L'extension entre carrier classes est possible, avec dérivation automatique des appels super() quand les composants parent sont subsumés par l'enfant Les records deviennent un cas particulier de carrier classes avec des contraintes supplémentaires (final, extends Record, component fields privés et finaux obligatoires) L'évolution compatible des records est améliorée en permettant l'ajout de composants en fin de liste et la déconstruction partielle par préfixe Comment éviter les pièges courants avec JPA et Kotlin - https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2026/01/how-to-avoid-common-pitfalls-with-jpa-and-kotlin/ JPA est une spécification Java pour la persistance objet-relationnel, mais son utilisation avec Kotlin présente des incompatibilités dues aux différences de conception des deux langages Les classes Kotlin sont finales par défaut, ce qui empêche la création de proxies par JPA pour le lazy loading et les opérations transactionnelles Le plugin kotlin-jpa génère automatiquement des constructeurs sans argument et rend les classes open, résolvant les problèmes de compatibilité Les data classes Kotlin ne sont pas adaptées aux entités JPA car elles génèrent equals/hashCode basés sur tous les champs, causant des problèmes avec les relations lazy L'utilisation de lateinit var pour les relations peut provoquer des exceptions si on accède aux propriétés avant leur initialisation par JPA Les types non-nullables Kotlin peuvent entrer en conflit avec le comportement de JPA qui initialise les entités avec des valeurs null temporaires Le backing field direct dans les getters/setters personnalisés peut contourner la logique de JPA et casser le lazy loading IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3 introduit des inspections pour détecter automatiquement ces problèmes et propose des quick-fixes L'IDE détecte les entités finales, les data classes inappropriées, les problèmes de constructeurs et l'usage incorrect de lateinit Ces nouvelles fonctionnalités aident les développeurs à éviter les bugs subtils liés à l'utilisation de JPA avec Kotlin Librairies Guide sur MapStruct @IterableMapping - https://www.baeldung.com/java-mapstruct-iterablemapping MapStruct est une bibliothèque Java pour générer automatiquement des mappers entre beans, l'annotation @IterableMapping permet de configurer finement le mapping de collections L'attribut dateFormat permet de formater automatiquement des dates lors du mapping de listes sans écrire de boucle manuelle L'attribut qualifiedByName permet de spécifier quelle méthode custom appliquer sur chaque élément de la collection à mapper Exemple d'usage : filtrer des données sensibles comme des mots de passe en mappant uniquement certains champs via une méthode dédiée L'attribut nullValueMappingStrategy permet de contrôler le comportement quand la collection source est null (retourner null ou une collection vide) L'annotation fonctionne pour tous types de collections Java (List, Set, etc.) et génère le code de boucle nécessaire Possibilité d'appliquer des formats numériques avec numberFormat pour convertir des nombres en chaînes avec un format spécifique MapStruct génère l'implémentation complète du mapper au moment de la compilation, éliminant le code boilerplate L'annotation peut être combinée avec @Named pour créer des méthodes de mapping réutilisables et nommées Le mapping des collections supporte les conversions de types complexes au-delà des simples conversions de types primitifs Accès aux fichiers Samba depuis Java avec JCIFS - https://www.baeldung.com/java-samba-jcifs JCIFS est une bibliothèque Java permettant d'accéder aux partages Samba/SMB sans monter de lecteur réseau, supportant le protocole SMB3 on pense aux galériens qui doivent se connecter aux systèmes dit legacy La configuration nécessite un contexte CIFS (CIFSContext) et des objets SmbFile pour représenter les ressources distantes L'authentification se fait via NtlmPasswordAuthenticator avec domaine, nom d'utilisateur et mot de passe La bibliothèque permet de lister les fichiers et dossiers avec listFiles() et vérifier leurs propriétés (taille, date de modification) Création de fichiers avec createNewFile() et de dossiers avec mkdir() ou mkdirs() pour créer toute une arborescence Suppression via delete() qui peut parcourir et supprimer récursivement des arborescences entières Copie de fichiers entre partages Samba avec copyTo(), mais impossibilité de copier depuis le système de fichiers local Pour copier depuis le système local, utilisation des streams SmbFileInputStream et SmbFileOutputStream Les opérations peuvent cibler différents serveurs Samba et différents partages (anonymes ou protégés par mot de passe) La bibliothèque s'intègre dans des blocs try-with-resources pour une gestion automatique des ressources Quarkus 3.31 - Support complet Java 25, nouveau packaging Maven et Panache Next - https://quarkus.io/blog/quarkus-3-31-released/ Support complet de Java 25 avec images runtime et native Nouveau packaging Maven de type quarkus avec lifecycle optimisé pour des builds plus rapides voici un article complet pour plus de detail https://quarkus.io/blog/building-large-applications/ Introduction de Panache Next, nouvelle génération avec meilleure expérience développeur et API unifiée ORM/Reactive Mise à jour vers Hibernate ORM 7.2, Reactive 3.2, Search 8.2 Support de Hibernate Spatial pour les données géospatiales Passage à Testcontainers 2 et JUnit 6 Annotations de sécurité supportées sur les repositories Jakarta Data Chiffrement des tokens OIDC pour les implémentations custom TokenStateManager Support OAuth 2.0 Pushed Authorization Requests dans l'extension OIDC Maven 3.9 maintenant requis minimum pour les projets Quarkus A2A Java SDK 1.0.0.Alpha1 - Alignement avec la spécification 1.0 du protocole Agent2Agent - https://quarkus.io/blog/a2a-java-sdk-1-0-0-alpha1/ Le SDK Java A2A implémente le protocole Agent2Agent qui permet la communication standardisée entre agents IA pour découvrir des capacités, déléguer des tâches et collaborer Passage à la version 1.0 de la spécification marque la transition d'expérimental à production-ready avec des changements cassants assumés Modernisation complète du module spec avec des Java records partout remplaçant le mix précédent de classes et records pour plus de cohérence Adoption de Protocol Buffers comme source de vérité avec des mappers MapStruct pour la conversion et Gson pour JSON-RPC Les builders utilisent maintenant des méthodes factory statiques au lieu de constructeurs publics suivant les best practices Java modernes Introduction de trois BOMs Maven pour simplifier la gestion des dépendances du SDK core, des extensions et des implémentations de référence Quarkus AgentCard évolue avec une liste supportedInterfaces remplaçant url et preferredTransport pour plus de flexibilité dans la déclaration des protocoles Support de la pagination ajouté pour ListTasks et les endpoints de configuration des notifications push avec des wrappers Result appropriés Interface A2AHttpClient pluggable permettant des implémentations HTTP personnalisées avec une implémentation Vert.x fournie Travail continu vers la conformité complète avec le TCK 1.0 en cours de développement parallèlement à la finalisation de la spécification Pourquoi Quarkus finit par "cliquer" : les 10 questions que se posent les développeurs Java - https://www.the-main-thread.com/p/quarkus-java-developers-top-questions-2025 un article qui revele et repond aux questions des gens qui ont utilisé Quarkus depuis 4-6 mois, les non noob questions Quarkus est un framework Java moderne optimisé pour le cloud qui propose des temps de démarrage ultra-rapides et une empreinte mémoire réduite Pourquoi Quarkus démarre si vite ? Le framework effectue le travail lourd au moment du build (scanning, indexation, génération de bytecode) plutôt qu'au runtime Quand utiliser le mode réactif plutôt qu'impératif ? Le réactif est pertinent pour les workloads avec haute concurrence et dominance I/O, l'impératif reste plus simple dans les autres cas Quelle est la différence entre Dev Services et Testcontainers ? Dev Services utilise Testcontainers en gérant automatiquement le cycle de vie, les ports et la configuration sans cérémonie Comment la DI de Quarkus diffère de Spring ? CDI est un standard basé sur la sécurité des types et la découverte au build-time, différent de l'approche framework de Spring Comment gérer la configuration entre environnements ? Quarkus permet de scaler depuis le développement local jusqu'à Kubernetes avec des profils, fichiers multiples et configuration externe Comment tester correctement les applications Quarkus ? @QuarkusTest démarre l'application une fois pour toute la suite de tests, changeant le modèle mental par rapport à Spring Boot Que fait vraiment Panache en coulisses ? Panache est du JPA avec des opinions fortes et des défauts propres, enveloppant Hibernate avec un style Active Record Doit-on utiliser les images natives et quand ? Les images natives brillent pour le serverless et l'edge grâce au démarrage rapide et la faible empreinte mémoire, mais tous les apps n'en bénéficient pas Comment Quarkus s'intègre avec Kubernetes ? Le framework génère automatiquement les ressources Kubernetes, gère les health checks et métriques comme s'il était nativement conçu pour cet écosystème Comment intégrer l'IA dans une application Quarkus ? LangChain4j permet d'ajouter embeddings, retrieval, guardrails et observabilité directement en Java sans passer par Python Infrastructure Les alternatives à MinIO https://rmoff.net/2026/01/14/alternatives-to-minio-for-single-node-local-s3/ MinIO a abandonné le support single-node fin 2025 pour des raisons commerciales, cassant de nombreuses démos et pipelines CI/CD qui l'utilisaient pour émuler S3 localement L'auteur cherche un remplacement simple avec image Docker, compatibilité S3, licence open source, déploiement mono-nœud facile et communauté active S3Proxy est très léger et facile à configurer, semble être l'option la plus simple mais repose sur un seul contributeur RustFS est facile à utiliser et inclut une GUI, mais c'est un projet très récent en version alpha avec une faille de sécurité majeure récente SeaweedFS existe depuis 2012 avec support S3 depuis 2018, relativement facile à configurer et dispose d'une interface web basique Zenko CloudServer remplace facilement MinIO mais la documentation et le branding (cloudserver/zenko/scality) peuvent prêter à confusion Garage nécessite une configuration complexe avec fichier TOML et conteneur d'initialisation séparé, pas un simple remplacement drop-in Apache Ozone requiert au minimum quatre nœuds pour fonctionner, beaucoup trop lourd pour un usage local simple L'auteur recommande SeaweedFS et S3Proxy comme remplaçants viables, RustFS en maybe, et élimine Garage et Ozone pour leur complexité Garage a une histoire tres associative, il vient du collectif https://deuxfleurs.fr/ qui offre un cloud distribué sans datacenter C'est certainement pas une bonne idée, les datacenters dans l'espace https://taranis.ie/datacenters-in-space-are-a-terrible-horrible-no-good-idea/ Avis d'expert (ex-NASA/Google, Dr en électronique spatiale) : Centres de données spatiaux, une "terrible" idée. Incompatibilité fondamentale : L'électronique (surtout IA/GPU) est inadaptée à l'environnement spatial. Énergie : Accès limité. Le solaire (type ISS) est insuffisant pour l'échelle de l'IA. Le nucléaire (RTG) est trop faible. Refroidissement : L'espace n'est pas "froid" ; absence de convection. Nécessite des radiateurs gigantesques (ex: 531m² pour 200kW). Radiations : Provoque erreurs (SEU, SEL) et dommages. Les GPU sont très vulnérables. Blindage lourd et inefficace. Les puces "durcies" sont très lentes. Communications : Bande passante très limitée (1Gbps radio vs 100Gbps terrestre). Le laser est tributaire des conditions atmosphériques. Conclusion : Projet extrêmement difficile, coûteux et aux performances médiocres. Data et Intelligence Artificielle Guillaume a développé un serveur MCP pour arXiv (le site de publication de papiers de recherche) en Java avec le framework Quarkus https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/01/18/implementing-an-arxiv-mcp-server-with-quarkus-in-java/ Implémentation d'un serveur MCP (Model Context Protocol) arXiv en Java avec Quarkus. Objectif : Accéder aux publications arXiv et illustrer les fonctionnalités moins connues du protocole MCP. Mise en œuvre : Utilisation du framework Quarkus (Java) et son support MCP étendu. Assistance par Antigravity (IDE agentique) pour le développement et l'intégration de l'API arXiv. Interaction avec l'API arXiv : requêtes HTTP, format XML Atom pour les résultats, parser XML Jackson. Fonctionnalités MCP exposées : Outils (@Tool) : Recherche de publications (search_papers). Ressources (@Resource, @ResourceTemplate) : Taxonomie des catégories arXiv, métadonnées des articles (via un template d'URI). Prompts (@Prompt) : Exemples pour résumer des articles ou construire des requêtes de recherche. Configuration : Le serveur peut fonctionner en STDIO (local) ou via HTTP Streamable (local ou distant), avec une configuration simple dans des clients comme Gemini CLI. Conclusion : Quarkus simplifie la création de serveurs MCP riches en fonctionnalités, rendant les données et services "prêts pour l'IA" avec l'aide d'outils d'IA comme Antigravity. Anthropic ne mettra pas de pub dans Claude https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-is-a-space-to-think c'est en reaction au plan non public d'OpenAi de mettre de la pub pour pousser les gens au mode payant OpenAI a besoin de cash et est probablement le plus utilisé pour gratuit au monde Anthropic annonce que Claude restera sans publicité pour préserver son rôle d'assistant conversationnel dédié au travail et à la réflexion approfondie. Les conversations avec Claude sont souvent sensibles, personnelles ou impliquent des tâches complexes d'ingénierie logicielle où les publicités seraient inappropriées. L'analyse des conversations montre qu'une part significative aborde des sujets délicats similaires à ceux évoqués avec un conseiller de confiance. Un modèle publicitaire créerait des incitations contradictoires avec le principe fondamental d'être "genuinely helpful" inscrit dans la Constitution de Claude. Les publicités introduiraient un conflit d'intérêt potentiel où les recommandations pourraient être influencées par des motivations commerciales plutôt que par l'intérêt de l'utilisateur. Le modèle économique d'Anthropic repose sur les contrats entreprise et les abonnements payants, permettant de réinvestir dans l'amélioration de Claude. Anthropic maintient l'accès gratuit avec des modèles de pointe et propose des tarifs réduits pour les ONG et l'éducation dans plus de 60 pays. Le commerce "agentique" sera supporté mais uniquement à l'initiative de l'utilisateur, jamais des annonceurs, pour préserver la confiance. Les intégrations tierces comme Figma, Asana ou Canva continueront d'être développées en gardant l'utilisateur aux commandes. Anthropic compare Claude à un cahier ou un tableau blanc : des espaces de pensée purs, sans publicité. Infinispan 16.1 est sorti https://infinispan.org/blog/2026/02/04/infinispan-16-1 déjà le nom de la release mérite une mention Le memory bounded par cache et par ensemble de cache s est pas facile à faire en Java Une nouvelle api OpenAPI AOT caché dans les images container Un serveur MCP local juste avec un fichier Java ? C'est possible avec LangChain4j et JBang https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/02/11/zero-boilerplate-java-stdio-mcp-servers-with-langchain4j-and-jbang/ Création rapide de serveurs MCP Java sans boilerplate. MCP (Model Context Protocol): standard pour connecter les LLM à des outils et données. Le tutoriel répond au manque d'options simples pour les développeurs Java, face à une prédominance de Python/TypeScript dans l'écosystème MCP. La solution utilise: LangChain4j: qui intègre un nouveau module serveur MCP pour le protocole STDIO. JBang: permet d'exécuter des fichiers Java comme des scripts, éliminant les fichiers de build (pom.xml, Gradle). Implémentation: se fait via un seul fichier .java. JBang gère automatiquement les dépendances (//DEPS). L'annotation @Tool de LangChain4j expose les méthodes Java aux LLM. StdioMcpServerTransport gère la communication JSON-RPC via l'entrée/sortie standard (STDIO). Point crucial: Les logs doivent impérativement être redirigés vers System.err pour éviter de corrompre System.out, qui est réservé à la communication MCP (messages JSON-RPC). Facilite l'intégration locale avec des outils comme Gemini CLI, Claude Code, etc. Reciprocal Rank Fusion : un algorithme utile et souvent utilisé pour faire de la recherche hybride, pour mélanger du RAG et des recherches par mots-clé https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/02/10/advanced-rag-understanding-reciprocal-rank-fusion-in-hybrid-search/ RAG : Qualité LLM dépend de la récupération. Recherche Hybride : Combiner vectoriel et mots-clés (BM25) est optimal. Défi : Fusionner des scores d'échelles différentes. Solution : Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF). RRF : Algorithme robuste qui fusionne des listes de résultats en se basant uniquement sur le rang des documents, ignorant les scores. Avantages RRF : Pas de normalisation de scores, scalable, excellente première étape de réorganisation. Architecture RAG fréquente : RRF (large sélection) + Cross-Encoder / modèle de reranking (précision fine). RAG-Fusion : Utilise un LLM pour générer plusieurs variantes de requête, puis RRF agrège tous les résultats pour renforcer le consensus et réduire les hallucinations. Implémentation : LangChain4j utilise RRF par défaut pour agréger les résultats de plusieurs retrievers. Les dernières fonctionnalités de Gemini et Nano Banana supportées dans LangChain4j https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/02/06/latest-gemini-and-nano-banana-enhancements-in-langchain4j/ Nouveaux modèles d'images Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5/3.0) pour génération et édition (jusqu'à 4K). "Grounding" via Google Search (pour images et texte) et Google Maps (localisation, Gemini 2.5). Outil de contexte URL (Gemini 3.0) pour lecture directe de pages web. Agents multimodaux (AiServices) capables de générer des images. Configuration de la réflexion (profondeur Chain-of-Thought) pour Gemini 3.0. Métadonnées enrichies : usage des tokens et détails des sources de "grounding". Comment configurer Gemini CLI comment agent de code dans IntelliJ grâce au protocole ACP https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/02/01/how-to-integrate-gemini-cli-with-intellij-idea-using-acp/ But : Intégrer Gemini CLI à IntelliJ IDEA via l'Agent Client Protocol (ACP). Prérequis : IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3+, Node.js (v20+), Gemini CLI. Étapes : Installer Gemini CLI (npm install -g @google/gemini-cli). Localiser l'exécutable gemini. Configurer ~/.jetbrains/acp.json (chemin exécutable, --experimental-acp, use_idea_mcp: true). Redémarrer IDEA, sélectionner "Gemini CLI" dans l'Assistant IA. Usage : Gemini interagit avec le code et exécute des commandes (contexte projet). Important : S'assurer du flag --experimental-acp dans la configuration. Outillage PipeNet, une alternative (open source aussi) à LocalTunnel, mais un plus évoluée https://pipenet.dev/ pipenet: Alternative open-source et moderne à localtunnel (client + serveur). Usages: Développement local (partage, webhooks), intégration SDK, auto-hébergement sécurisé. Fonctionnalités: Client (expose ports locaux, sous-domaines), Serveur (déploiement, domaines personnalisés, optimisé cloud mono-port). Avantages vs localtunnel: Déploiement cloud sur un seul port, support multi-domaines, TypeScript/ESM, maintenance active. Protocoles: HTTP/S, WebSocket, SSE, HTTP Streaming. Intégration: CLI ou SDK JavaScript. JSON-IO — une librairie comme Jackson ou GSON, supportant JSON5, TOON, et qui pourrait être utile pour l'utilisation du "structured output" des LLMs quand ils ne produisent pas du JSON parfait https://github.com/jdereg/json-io json-io : Librairie Java pour la sérialisation et désérialisation JSON/TOON. Gère les graphes d'objets complexes, les références cycliques et les types polymorphes. Support complet JSON5 (lecture et écriture), y compris des fonctionnalités non prises en charge par Jackson/Gson. Format TOON : Notation orientée token, optimisée pour les LLM, réduisant l'utilisation de tokens de 40 à 50% par rapport au JSON. Légère : Aucune dépendance externe (sauf java-util), taille de JAR réduite (~330K). Compatible JDK 1.8 à 24, ainsi qu'avec les environnements JPMS et OSGi. Deux modes de conversion : vers des objets Java typés (toJava()) ou vers des Map (toMaps()). Options de configuration étendues via ReadOptionsBuilder et WriteOptionsBuilder. Optimisée pour les déploiements cloud natifs et les architectures de microservices. Utiliser mailpit et testcontainer pour tester vos envois d'emails https://foojay.io/today/testing-emails-with-testcontainers-and-mailpit/ l'article montre via SpringBoot et sans. Et voici l'extension Quarkus https://quarkus.io/extensions/io.quarkiverse.mailpit/quarkus-mailpit/?tab=docs Tester l'envoi d'emails en développement est complexe car on ne peut pas utiliser de vrais serveurs SMTP Mailpit est un serveur SMTP de test qui capture les emails et propose une interface web pour les consulter Testcontainers permet de démarrer Mailpit dans un conteneur Docker pour les tests d'intégration L'article montre comment configurer une application SpringBoot pour envoyer des emails via JavaMail Un module Testcontainers dédié à Mailpit facilite son intégration dans les tests Le conteneur Mailpit expose un port SMTP (1025) et une API HTTP (8025) pour vérifier les emails reçus Les tests peuvent interroger l'API HTTP de Mailpit pour valider le contenu des emails envoyés Cette approche évite d'utiliser des mocks et teste réellement l'envoi d'emails Mailpit peut aussi servir en développement local pour visualiser les emails sans les envoyer réellement La solution fonctionne avec n'importe quel framework Java supportant JavaMail Architecture Comment scaler un système de 0 à 10 millions d'utilisateurs https://blog.algomaster.io/p/scaling-a-system-from-0-to-10-million-users Philosophie : Scalabilité incrémentale, résoudre les goulots d'étranglement sans sur-ingénierie. 0-100 utilisateurs : Serveur unique (app, DB, jobs). 100-1K : Séparer app et DB (services gérés, pooling). 1K-10K : Équilibreur de charge, multi-serveurs d'app (stateless via sessions partagées). 10K-100K : Caching, réplicas de lecture DB, CDN (réduire charge DB). 100K-500K : Auto-scaling, applications stateless (authentification JWT). 500K-10M : Sharding DB, microservices, files de messages (traitement asynchrone). 10M+ : Déploiement multi-régions, CQRS, persistance polyglotte, infra personnalisée. Principes clés : Simplicité, mesure, stateless essentiel, cache/asynchrone, sharding prudent, compromis (CAP), coût de la complexité. Patterns d'Architecture 2026 - Du Hype à la Réalité du Terrain (Part 1/2) - https://blog.ippon.fr/2026/01/30/patterns-darchitecture-2026-part-1/ L'article présente quatre patterns d'architecture logicielle pour répondre aux enjeux de scalabilité, résilience et agilité business dans les systèmes modernes Il présentent leurs raisons et leurs pièges Un bon rappel L'Event-Driven Architecture permet une communication asynchrone entre systèmes via des événements publiés et consommés, évitant le couplage direct Les bénéfices de l'EDA incluent la scalabilité indépendante des composants, la résilience face aux pannes et l'ajout facile de nouveaux cas d'usage Le pattern API-First associé à un API Gateway centralise la sécurité, le routage et l'observabilité des APIs avec un catalogue unifié Le Backend for Frontend crée des APIs spécifiques par canal (mobile, web, partenaires) pour optimiser l'expérience utilisateur CQRS sépare les modèles de lecture et d'écriture avec des bases optimisées distinctes, tandis que l'Event Sourcing stocke tous les événements plutôt que l'état actuel Le Saga Pattern gère les transactions distribuées via orchestration centralisée ou chorégraphie événementielle pour coordonner plusieurs microservices Les pièges courants incluent l'explosion d'événements granulaires, la complexité du debugging distribué, et la mauvaise gestion de la cohérence finale Les technologies phares sont Kafka pour l'event streaming, Kong pour l'API Gateway, EventStoreDB pour l'Event Sourcing et Temporal pour les Sagas Ces patterns nécessitent une maturité technique et ne sont pas adaptés aux applications CRUD simples ou aux équipes junior Patterns d'architecture 2026 : du hype à la réalité terrain part. 2 - https://blog.ippon.fr/2026/02/04/patterns-darchitecture-2026-part-2/ Deuxième partie d'un guide pratique sur les patterns d'architecture logicielle et système éprouvés pour moderniser et structurer les applications en 2026 Strangler Fig permet de migrer progressivement un système legacy en l'enveloppant petit à petit plutôt que de tout réécrire d'un coup (70% d'échec pour les big bang) Anti-Corruption Layer protège votre nouveau domaine métier des modèles externes et legacy en créant une couche de traduction entre les systèmes Service Mesh gère automatiquement la communication inter-services dans les architectures microservices (sécurité mTLS, observabilité, résilience) Architecture Hexagonale sépare le coeur métier des détails techniques via des ports et adaptateurs pour améliorer la testabilité et l'évolutivité Chaque pattern est illustré par un cas client concret avec résultats mesurables et liste des pièges à éviter lors de l'implémentation Les technologies 2026 mentionnées incluent Istio, Linkerd pour service mesh, LaunchDarkly pour feature flags, NGINX et Kong pour API gateway Tableau comparatif final aide à choisir le bon pattern selon la complexité, le scope et le use case spécifique du projet L'article insiste sur une approche pragmatique : ne pas utiliser un pattern juste parce qu'il est moderne mais parce qu'il résout un problème réel Pour les systèmes simples type CRUD ou avec peu de services, ces patterns peuvent introduire une complexité inutile qu'il faut savoir éviter Méthodologies Le rêve récurrent de remplacer voire supprimer les développeurs https://www.caimito.net/en/blog/2025/12/07/the-recurring-dream-of-replacing-developers.html Depuis 1969, chaque décennie voit une tentative de réduire le besoin de développeurs (de COBOL, UML, visual builders… à IA). Motivation : frustration des dirigeants face aux délais et coûts de développement. La complexité logicielle est intrinsèque et intellectuelle, non pas une question d'outils. Chaque vague technologique apporte de la valeur mais ne supprime pas l'expertise humaine. L'IA assiste les développeurs, améliore l'efficacité, mais ne remplace ni le jugement ni la gestion de la complexité. La demande de logiciels excède l'offre car la contrainte majeure est la réflexion nécessaire pour gérer cette complexité. Pour les dirigeants : les outils rendent-ils nos développeurs plus efficaces sur les problèmes complexes et réduisent-ils les tâches répétitives ? Le "rêve" de remplacer les développeurs, irréalisable, est un moteur d'innovation créant des outils précieux. Comment creuser des sujets à l'ère de l'IA générative. Quid du partage et la curation de ces recherches ? https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/02/04/researching-topics-in-the-age-of-ai-rock-solid-webhooks-case-study/ Recherche initiale de l'auteur sur les webhooks en 2019, processus long et manuel. L'IA (Deep Research, Gemini, NotebookLM) facilite désormais la recherche approfondie, l'exploration de sujets et le partage des résultats. L'IA a identifié et validé des pratiques clés pour des déploiements de webhooks résilients, en grande partie les mêmes que celles trouvées précédemment par l'auteur. Génération d'artefacts par l'IA : rapport détaillé, résumé concis, illustration sketchnote, et même une présentation (slide deck). Guillaume s'interroge sur le partage public de ces rapports de recherche générés par l'IA, tout en souhaitant éviter le "AI Slop". Loi, société et organisation Le logiciel menacé par le vibe coding https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/we-built-a-monday-com-clone-in-under-an-hour-with-ai Deux journalistes de CNBC sans expérience de code ont créé un clone fonctionnel de Monday.com en moins de 60 minutes pour 5 à 15 dollars. L'expérience valide les craintes des investisseurs qui ont provoqué une baisse de 30% des actions des entreprises SaaS. L'IA a non seulement reproduit les fonctionnalités de base mais a aussi recherché Monday.com de manière autonome pour identifier et recréer ses fonctionnalités clés. Cette technique appelée "vibe-coding" permet aux non-développeurs de construire des applications via des instructions en anglais courant. Les entreprises les plus vulnérables sont celles offrant des outils "qui se posent sur le travail" comme Atlassian, Adobe, HubSpot, Zendesk et Smartsheet. Les entreprises de cybersécurité comme CrowdStrike et Palo Alto sont considérées plus protégées grâce aux effets de réseau et aux barrières réglementaires. Les systèmes d'enregistrement comme Salesforce restent plus difficiles à répliquer en raison de leur profondeur d'intégration et de données d'entreprise. Le coût de 5 à 15 dollars par construction permet aux entreprises de prototyper plusieurs solutions personnalisées pour moins cher qu'une seule licence Monday.com.

The Shadow Over AtheniaThe episode opens in the heart of Athenia, the gleaming capital of the Verdant Hegemony of Croya. This isn't a city governed by law, but by the Pussichipacy—a unique, matriarchal absolute rule established by the shape-shifting Croy family. Under the gaze of the Grand Chip, Malice Croy, the city feels like a living theater. Every citizen is a performer, and the Croy women are the ultimate directors, moving through the streets in "Stable Forms" of haunting beauty while hiding their fluid, predatory nature beneath the surface.The party is granted a rare audience with Malice Croy in the Throne of the Shifting Palm. The atmosphere is thick with the scent of salt and expensive perfumes. Malice, lounging on her black marble throne, treats the complexities of international diplomacy like a light snack. We delve into the history of the "Silent Revolution," where the Croys didn't conquer the land with armies, but by slowly replacing the ruling elite of the old Aethelgard League until the world woke up one morning and realized it belonged to them.The tension centers on Ash, Malice's daughter, who has recently ascended to the heights of her power (Level 20). Ash carries a relic of immense geopolitical and spiritual weight: the Jar of Ashuma. Inside are the remains of the former CEO of the PNC, a man who met his end by his own hand though forced by the Shadow Seekers. The jar also contains the fragments of his disintegrated katana, a weapon shattered by the weight of his own failure and ritual seppuku as well as Faust's timely spell. To the Croy family, this jar isn't just a trophy; it's a container of corporate essence and a potential key to absorbing the PNC's remaining influence.The courtly dialogue is shattered when a high-level strike team of assassins—likely remnants of the PNC's "Disposal Unit"—launches a desperate, suicidal raid on the throne room. Their goal is clear: retrieve the jar and eliminate the heir.The chaos that follows showcases the terrifying power of the Matriarch. While the party and Ash spring into action, Malice remains seated, treating the violence with a bored, casual disdain. The battle is a clash of steel against the shifting, "salty" magic of the Croy bloodline. The assassins find that attacking a changeling in her own sanctum is like trying to stab smoke.

How to Fix Boring Brand Podcasts If we're going to be perfectly honest, many branded podcasts are either boring or they sound just like a recycled commercial. To win the hearts and minds of your B2B target audience, you must move beyond generic corporate messaging and create high-quality content that addresses your listeners' needs. So how can brands produce engaging content that will resonate with their audiences, and what strategic role does B2B storytelling play?That's why we're talking to Jen Moss (Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, JAR Podcast Solutions), who shared her expertise and strategic insights on how to fix boring brand podcasts. During our conversation, Jen discussed the importance of creating engaging brand podcasts that build trust and loyalty. She explained why B2B podcasts should go beyond product promotion and focus on deeper stories and societal issues. Jen also highlighted the need for creative courage, proper planning, rigorous pre-production, and engagement with the audience. She advised against rushing into production without proper ideation and marketing budget. Jen also underscored the power of authentic B2B storytelling and cautioned against relying too heavily on AI for content creation. https://youtu.be/sVlsvotzFEE Topics discussed in episode: [02:22] The definition of a successful brand podcast: It shouldn’t just be a CEO talking about products, but rather a way to facilitate deeper conversations on industry issues.  [05:12] Why brands need “creative courage” to stand out in a saturated market, including experimenting with fiction or narrative formats.  [08:32] How to tell a good B2B story by focusing on “beats,” high stakes, and the transparent struggle rather than just the solution.  [17:28] The top pitfalls in podcasting: Failing to budget for marketing, ignoring audience analytics, and drop-off rates.  [29:25] A real-world example of how Genome BC used human storytelling to make complex scientific topics accessible and engaging.  [37:40] Why using AI purely for speed and volume is a mistake, and why the mission of podcasting should be connection, not efficiency.

Podcast Another Round Podcast Hot Ones Podcast Transcript Christian Klepp, Jen Moss Jen Moss  00:00 Podcasting, especially audio podcasting, I will say, is a sacred space between the ears. You are literally whispering in people’s ears if they don’t like what they’re hearing, if they start to feel like you’re shilling to them, they will yank out the earbuds and it’s game over for you. Christian Klepp  00:17 If we’re going to be perfectly honest, many brand podcasts are either boring or they just sound like a commercial. To win the hearts and minds of your target audience, you need to create content that serves your listeners and is something they actually want to hear. So how can you achieve that? And what role does B2B Marketing play in producing successful brand podcasts? Welcome to this episode of the B2B Marketers in the Mission podcast, and I’m your host, Christian Klepp, today I’ll be talking to Jen Moss, who will be answering that question. She is the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of JAR Podcast Solutions, which helps create quality podcasts that earn trust. Tune in to find out more about what this B2B Marketers Mission is, okay, and I’m gonna say, Jen Moss, welcome to the show. Jen Moss  01:05 Thank you so much for having me. Christian Klepp  01:07 Great to have you on. We’ve had such a fantastic conversation before. I hit record. I probably should have recorded this earlier, but in any case, Jen Moss  01:14 Yes, if anyone needs any parenting tips, we got your back. Christian Klepp  01:18 Absolutely, absolutely that that book is coming out soon on Amazon. I’m just kidding, But Jen, really looking forward to this conversation, because, man, we are going to cover a topic which, you know, might rock the boat a little bit, but it’s all, you know, constructive, and you know, it’s all for the sake of growing in a positive way, right? Jen Moss  01:35 I think so, Christian Klepp  01:36 At least I like to think so. Jen Moss  01:38 That is the goal. Christian Klepp  01:39 Absolutely, absolutely, all right, so here it comes. So Jen, you’re on a mission to help brands craft story first, podcasts that earn trust, build loyalty and connect deeply with the audiences that matter most. So for today’s conversation, I’d like to zero in on the following topic. Here comes how to fix boring brand podcasts. I know we’ve got a ton to talk about, but let’s kick off this conversation with two questions, and I’m happy to repeat them. So what is it about brand podcasting that you wish more people understood? And number two is, where do most brand podcasts go wrong. Jen Moss  02:22 Okay, so those are both great questions, so that what is a branded podcast is probably a good place to start. A lot of people might think that it’s, you know, the CEO of a company talking about their products and services ad nauseam. And if you happen to want to buy those products and services, maybe you would listen to it, because you could get more information, like, kind of an informational, almost transactional thing. I think that’s what a lot of people imagine when they hear the words branded podcast. However, that there’s a lot more to branded podcasting than that, and a lot of the smarter sort of, I would say, savvy brands, the ones with kind of sophisticated marketing campaigns that are multifaceted, are looking at podcasting as a way to tell deeper stories, engage with conversations that are ongoing in society that really matter so, sort of a chance for the brand to show its stripes a little bit, and an opportunity to offer something to a target audience that is sort of like a kind of a gift. You know, like we’re going to give you something of value that you actually will benefit from or enjoy, learn something from, be emotionally moved by, you know, hear a good story, and it’ll be in an area that the brand cares about, that that kind of ticks the boxes in terms of, like, what are the brand’s values, but is not specifically, and this is very important, is not specifically related to the brand’s products and services, per se. So it’s more like, okay, the brand maybe exists in a certain wider industry, and there’s an issue in that industry that keeps coming up, or a new technology that’s affecting everything, something like that, something that needs to be talked about. And so they’ll, they’ll set out to kind of facilitate those kinds of conversations through their podcasts. And a branded podcast doesn’t need to be just a one on one interview. It could be, it could be a fiction podcast if you were feeling extra frisky and creative that day, you know, if you wanted to do something fun, like I had a conversation with a solar company not that long ago, and we actually pitched them a fiction podcast about a world powered by sun. And because we thought the opportunity for a solar panel company to sponsor a fiction podcast about a world powered by sun like sci-fi would be, would be exciting and different. Christian Klepp  05:11 How did that go? Jen Moss  05:12 Yeah, well, we didn’t end up getting that job because they didn’t have the creative courage to do it. And so this is, this is the kind of conversation that I’m always on with brands is like, have the creative courage to do something that’s a little out of the ordinary because there’s 500 million podcasts or whatever, so you’ve got to stand out. And so you’ve got to think about how to stand out, and one of the best ways to do that is to do something different that hasn’t been done before. For example, there is a great branded fiction podcast called Murder in HR, and it’s by an online HR platform company. And, you know, like, it’s just a scripted fiction true, true crime. It’s not really true because it’s scripted fiction podcast. But, you know, it’s kind of different and fun. So, so there’s stuff like that. There’s, you know what we would call narrative podcasting, which is a mixture of script and clip, where you’re kind of combining on scene recordings with interview tape, with narration, and kind of thoughtfully braiding all those things together, like an NPR (National Public Radio) storytelling experience or a CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) storytelling experience. So there’s all of that that can be part of branded podcasting, and so I just frankly think it’s kind of lazy when brands just decide that they’re going to talk about themselves indefinitely in a podcast. If I want to learn about a brand, I and buy something from them, I’ll go to their website. But if the brand wants to win hearts and minds and raise awareness and build trust and kind of operate on that deeper level to widen their impact. That’s where a podcast, and sponsoring a podcast, or getting behind the production of a podcast can really help. So that’s, I mean, I guess that kind of answers your second question, where do brands go wrong? And it’s usually with just doing the obvious, doing the thing that they think is the most direct route to a customer. And with podcasting, I try to remind people there is a difference between a customer and an audience. A customer is someone who already, at least wants to know more about your product and is thinking of buying maybe they’ve bought from you before. An audience may include those customers, but it may include other people as well who have a wider array of interests and are not yet, do not yet know that they need to buy a new pair of running shoes, but then the next time they need a new pair of running shoes, they may think of you because of that excellent podcast they listen to where you had all those celebrities on talking about the things that motivate them to push harder and go faster, right? So it’s just sort of, it’s a little bit of a roundabout way of winning customers by winning hearts and minds is how I would describe it. Christian Klepp  08:03 Yeah, winning hearts and minds. I like that. Now. That was a great way to open up this conversation. And thanks for sharing that I had two follow up questions for you. So let’s start with, you know, people loving to hear a good story, so let’s, let’s, let’s take a step back, because remember, the audience of this podcast. They’re mostly B2B Marketers. So from a B2B context, what would you how would you define what a good story is? Jen Moss  08:32 Yeah, that’s a great question. So I mean, a good story is told beat by beat, this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened. And here’s the lesson we took from it. Is one of the ways that it has been boiled down, I believe, by Ira Glass, you know, icon of podcasting. So I think you know thinking about even with B2B storytelling, if you’re telling a story that’s based in your industry, and you’re trying to position yourselves as thought leaders in that space. And let’s say you’re interviewing someone who is another company that sells a particular product, and you’re talking to them about a case study, instead of saying, like, what is the product and how does it work, try saying, tell us a story about a problem that someone was having. Start with the stakes, like, what would have happened if they didn’t solve that problem, what was at stake, then build to like how that problem got solved, and perhaps the product or service was involved, right, right? But build to how the problem was solved, so that there’s a bit of an arc from A to B to C to D, so that you start with a problem, work towards a solution. And and make sure to take the time to identify the stakes, like, what would have happened if it didn’t work. Where did it go wrong along the way? Where were the points where you thought, this is not going to work worse? We’re we’re hooped, you know, make sure that when you are telling stories, you’re actually telling the whole story, not just the win, not like we solved it this way, this way and this way. And aren’t we great? Nobody cares. That’s just bragging, and it comes across very badly in podcasting, podcasting, especially audio podcasting, I will say, is a sacred space between the ears. You are literally whispering in people’s ears. If they don’t like what they’re hearing, if they start to feel like you’re shilling to them, they will yank out the earbuds and it’s game over for you, right? They’ll go look at something else or go walk their dog, right? So you really have to just really focus in on the beat by beat. How are you going to hold attention throughout? You can also use sound design to support the tension arc of the story. And don’t be afraid to show the tough stuff, the hard stuff, the stuff that didn’t work, the stuff that even makes you look a bit foolish. We tried this as a brand. It didn’t work. We failed, but what we learned from that was this, right, if you can be a little bit transparent and a little bit more real, you will win hearts and minds, like I said, and if you want, if you can’t do that, people have a nose for BS, and they will smell it, and they will not take you as seriously. So it’s like a sacred duty to tell the truth, which is, which is challenging in a branded space where it’s all about spin and messaging and stuff like that. But the more you can do that, the more credible your content will be. Christian Klepp  11:56 Absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, on that topic, the ones I love the most, of the guys that say, like, you know, I, um, I lost my job and I moved to my parents basement, and now I’m making multiple six figures, all within the span of 12 months. Jen Moss  12:10 I mean, amazing, amazing. Not true, but also, at least they understand the tension arc. Christian Klepp  12:17 Yes, that’s certainly one way of looking at it, yeah, second follow up question. And I love this, like, creative courage, right? Jen Moss  12:28 Yeah. Christian Klepp  12:29 Not many people have it, if we’re going to be perfectly honest, right? Jen Moss  12:32 Yeah, I’m realizing that. I’m realizing that the older I get, the more I realize how rare it actually is creative courage. Yeah. Christian Klepp  12:40 Here’s the thing, like, Why do you think that that’s so prevalent, even in in the podcast space? Is it because it’s it because it’s it’s the unknown that people are worried about, like, what if it doesn’t work? Jen Moss  12:50 Yeah, if you think about podcasting, especially in a branded space, but really in any space, yeah, it’s a vulnerable act. You’re putting yourself out there, you’re putting your brand out there, you’re putting your stories out there, you’re putting your company out there. You’re putting, in some cases, your job on the line, right, by spending budget on this thing, right? So the so the stakes are real for the people involved, and it’s tricky, because striving for perfection right out of the gate is possibly a mistake. I think that podcasting has always been kind of an organic form where it evolves over time. You’ve got to study the audience data and see whether what you’re doing is actually resonating with your audience, and if it’s not, you’ve got to be prepared to pivot and change and adapt the storytelling, the timing, the pacing, the music, all of those things have to be a little bit up for grabs if the audience isn’t resonating. So I do think, I do think there’s that to consider, yeah. Christian Klepp  13:53 And I suppose people’s tastes very right, like, what people find is creative is very can be very subjective. Jen Moss  14:01 The creative bravery thing is tricky because of all the reasons I listed, but also because you’re right. It means different things to different people, like for a bank or some sort of finance institution or a pharma company in a very heavily regulated industry, to be like creatively brave in their storytelling is pretty difficult. It’s been, it’s been compared to putting up a tent in the rain, right? Trying to be creative in a corporate environment, putting up a tent in the rain with your spouse is one way to think about Christian Klepp  14:34 Putting up a tent in the rain with your spouse. And there’s a T-Rex sitting… Jen Moss  14:38 Graded by a bunch of Russian judges, yeah. Christian Klepp  14:42 Absolutely. Jen Moss  14:43 Yeah. It’s tricky, and so to maintain the principles of creativity within that environment is hard. So the principles of creativity include brainstorming, ideation, adaptation, experimentation, so trial and trial and error a little bit, and eventually, you through that process, that iterative process, you arrive at a really great finished work of art, hopefully. But those people who have not been through the creative process and trusted a bunch of you know flaky writers with their with their goals before, and I say that as a flaky writer, it’s it can be hard to trust the creative process if you’re not used to going through it. So if you are working in an industry where everything is about quarterly planning, everything is planned down to the minutia. List, list, list, bullet point, bullet point, bullet point, check, check, check, box. And then somebody’s coming in and saying, Well, what about if we explored this? And let’s discuss, Let’s hypothetically explore this topic. You know, there are personality types out there, and a lot of them are working in corporate jobs who are just like, No, I don’t know how to do that. I don’t trust it, and it totally freaks me out. So that kind of I would call it, like floating the creative balloon and batting it around for a while before you make a decision. Trying to create room for that process to happen before you launch your podcast is quite important, and giving proper space and time to that creative process is something that I think the more corporate and kind of button down podcasting becomes, the more I’m seeing that we have to fight that, because we have to be accountable with our timelines. We have to be accountable with our messaging. We have to be accountable with all this stuff. So that’s all very important. Brand safety matters. But if you don’t allow space for that creative ideation phase, and I would, I would argue, frankly, ongoing space within your process, then you will not rise the balloon as high as you could. You could probably still do something that is regularly released and has decent sound quality. So check, check, but is it going to win hearts and minds of audiences? Is it going to stand out 500 million other podcasts? No, it is not. Yeah. So that’s why it matters. Christian Klepp  17:17 Absolutely, absolutely. Moving on to key pitfalls to avoid. What are they and what should folks be doing instead? Jen Moss  17:28 I mean, there’s so there’s so many pitfalls. I don’t know where to start … Christian Klepp  17:32 Try to condense them into like, maybe, like the five, the top five that you’ve seen. Jen Moss  17:36 Well, let’s look at maybe, let’s look at the phases of doing a podcast, pre-production, production and post-production. So in pre-production, I think the big pitfalls are failing to allow time and space for creative ideation, rushing into it without proper consideration. I think failing to set aside budget to market your podcast can be a mistake, and I think budget for marketing is quite important because, well, we’ll get into that in post production, but one of the important ways for people to find podcasts is through ads on other podcasts, and that costs money. So there’s a little aspect of a pay to play nature that kind of creeps into podcasting. I think it’s important to be realistic about that. It’s not the only way to promote a podcast. There’s many good, organic ways, but if you can reserve some budget for marketing, I think it’s a good idea to do so. And yeah, I would say in pre-production, failure to think big and kind of have embraced blue sky thinking early on, what could this podcast be? Who is it for? Right? Those are very important questions. So at JAR, we have a system. We call the JAR system. It’s job, audience, result, and in pre production, that’s where we really focus on job and audience. What is the job of the podcast? Why are you doing it? Who is the audience? Who is it for? What do they need? Where do they hang out? Are they on audio platforms? Are they on video platforms? Are they YouTubers? Like, what you know? Who are you talking to, and why? Is very important. So job and audience, and then with production, once you get into that big phase. That’s where I think, I sort of say it’s like, point your skis and go, but also bend your knees, because things are going to come up and so, for example, I always recommend having three or four possible guests lined up to service an episode. Because if the first one that you’re going after falls through due to timing and unavailability in your production timeline, an amateur podcaster would just be like, well, that’s okay. I’ll wait till October, when you’re free, whereas I’m saying, no, no. So if you want to do a podcast on this topic, and it’s important to do it now because timeliness matters, then you need to have a couple of other options that are backup options for that guest if they’re unavailable, so things like that. So prepping backups to your backups for your guests is a really good idea so that you can keep your production moving forward and stay focused on the ideas that you’re you’ve determined to explore. So making a plan and then doing your best to stick to it, I think, but keeping your knees bent critically within that plan. Some people have said, Well, is it kind of like you write like a podcast Bible? And I’m like, No, it’s more of a pirate code, but you do need to have a code like there needs to be a plan going forward, but it can change. And then post production, I think the biggest thing is people fail to study their analytics, or fail to understand and interpret their analytics. So if you’re not looking at your audience data, then you’re not getting the most out of that those analytics platforms. So you should be looking at your Spotify data. You should be looking at your apple, podcast data, your YouTube data, the data from your hosting platform. At JAR, we use a company called Bumper. They’re a Canadian company that does a really nice job of pulling together a dashboard which shares a lot of valuable information about about how your podcast is performing. So you can actually see things like, Oh, I made a 30 minute podcast, but everyone’s dropping off at 21 minutes. I wonder why. So either make it really much more interesting at the 21 minute mark, or make a shorter podcast. That’s what the audience data is telling you, right? So being receptive and flexible, keeping your knees bent throughout is very important, and then using that data to feed back into the creative cycle, so that it becomes this circular process of testing and learning, studying the results, making changes, and you’re gradually honing your podcast into something that your audience really, really responds to. So that’s those are the pitfalls that we try to steer people through and around. Christian Klepp  22:08 That is a great list. And you probably, for those that are listening to the audio version of this, I was, I was nodding the whole time, but, um, one of the things that I would add in there, which I’ve seen happen, and it’s happened to me, and I’m not gonna say who it is, but like, you know, one of the things that they immediately did after having me as a guest on is they pushed me into a follow up call, which big surprise was a was a sales pitch. It’s like, Thank you for being on our show. By the way. Would you like to buy some advertising space in our magazine? Would you like to exhibit in our, you know, upcoming event. You know, for small business, you know, we only charge $10,000 you know, it’s not that much. It’s like, Jen Moss  22:47 For a lot of small businesses, that is a lot, right? Christian Klepp  22:50 Exactly. Jen Moss  22:50 It’s kind of like, to me, if you think of it like dating, you want to play a little bit cool, like, it’s great. You can think of a podcast as a networking tool, absolutely, but it’s you have to just not be like Johnny obvious about it, like, maybe, maybe wait a few months and then reach out and say, Hey, we’re having a special promotion, and we’re you people who have been on our show get a reduced rate or something like that. Sure. Christian Klepp  23:19 Yeah, exactly. Jen Moss  23:20 Or just trust the universe. You could also try that, which would be, I had a great you like you and I had a great connection on this podcast. We chat very well. We even talked before the recording about parenting. So, like, we kind of click. So like, if there were ever anything that we could help each other with, I’m sure we would at least be somewhat amenable to it, and maybe that’s enough. Maybe that’s enough, right? Christian Klepp  23:45 Yeah, probably, probably. Jen Moss  23:46 Yeah. So I think yes, it’s an opportunity to network, but it is also in the same way that yeah, between people’s ears is a sacred space. Also when someone comes on your show as an unpaid guest, which most podcasts? I think it’s worth pointing out that most podcast guests are unpaid, so they’re doing that out of the sort of the free desire of exchange of ideas, right? And so respecting that in and of itself is very important. And this is why podcasting has risen to such heights is because it is really grounded in that kind of authentic communication, where people are really trying to figure stuff out together, that’s it, and it’s wonderful, and it’s amazing. And so you got to respect that. You got to let that be enough sometimes Christian Klepp  24:36 Absolutely, absolutely, wow. So you’ve kind of touched on this already, but in our previous conversation, you mentioned that in podcasting, and this does this is not unique to just the B2B space alone, but like in podcasting in general, the story comes first, not the product or the promo. So please elaborate on that. Jen Moss  24:58 No one is going to listen a 30 minute ad, right? It’s just not gonna happen. As soon as they detect the fact that you’re selling, they’re gone. If you want to have some follow up product information in your show notes, or, you know, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that, but you could, I suppose, or on your website, great. But the purpose of a podcast is not necessarily that sort of bottom of funnel sales. The purpose of a podcast is, is, it’s a top of funnel engagement opportunity, right? So you’re really, you’re you can build trust, you can build awareness, you can reach new people, and the way you do that is by being relevant and authentic and telling good stories in a way that holds attention. So my own background is from, you know, years of working in radio, documentary storytelling and things like that, I really learned how every, every piece of the story matters. You really have to break down the story arc. Like I said. You got to examine the stakes. You got to think about pacing. All of these things are critical and a funny thing too that I’ve learned I also teach creative writing, and one of the things that one of the lessons that I share with my students, is that the more specific you are in your storytelling, the more it will resonate universally. So through the specific example comes the universal ‘aha' moment. Whereas if you go in with a bunch of like, I’m like, I’m doing right now, if you go in with a bunch of principles, like, here’s what you got to do, and here’s, here’s the rules, and you should follow these rules, 10 Steps to heaven. Kind of, kind of formulas that might work in a, in a sort of, like a bullet point list on the internet, but in podcasting, that doesn’t really work. It’s, it’s more of a, it’s more of a like, I mean, they say the devil is in the details, but I actually think so are the angels like you really like, if I were to tell you a story about a time I worked with a client, let me think of a real example, Like, okay, Genome, BC (Bristish Columbia) is a client of ours. They are a non-profit here in British Columbia in Canada, and they are dedicated to promoting Genomic Science, and specifically they’re promoting the ability of Genomic Science to solve big problems that the world is facing, okay, like global warming type level problems, right? So that’s great. So how do we tell that story? How do we tell that specifically, we could have a bunch of egg heads on to talk about their research, and we do, we have, it’s a science podcast. We have lots of eggheads, and they’re great, you know, but we have to balance that with like people who are impacted by the issues that the science is trying to address. So we did a piece recently about an episode about genetic testing for, you know, heart problems and things like that, and how we with the study of the human genome, we know with the study of the human genome, we now know so much more about about how to spot those problems almost before they happen, because of your genetic predisposition to certain problems. So we told that story by finding a high schooler who had had a heart attack because of a genetic problem that he didn’t know about. And we told that story beat by beat. I was on the field. This happened. My parents got a call. We talked to his parents, we interviewed everybody. They all told the story about the time the son had the heart attack. They all told it separately in their own way, and we intercut it into this really tense, like, you know, exciting, really piece of storytelling. Then we brought on the scientists to talk about the power of genomic testing and genetic testing and genetic awareness around these health issues, but we first establish why it matters, and it matters because it affects people’s lives. So if you’re doing storytelling and you can connect your ideas to something that’s real, then you’re going to you kind of, you win, you win the storytelling day. Christian Klepp  29:27 Oh, that’s an that’s an excellent example. And, and I hear you, the easier path would have been to just invite the scientists on, or whoever it was, and they go on and talk about all of their research, and Jen Moss  29:39 Which is amazing stuff. But I don’t know if you’ve interviewed any scientists. Lately. They can be a little dry, they can be a little dense and hard to listen to. Christian Klepp  29:47 I’ve interviewed I’m associate professors. Does that count? Jen Moss  29:52 Yeah, it does. Yeah. People get very granular, right when they’re studying a very specific interest, like that, and that’s what makes them so incredible at their jobs, and I have huge respect for these scientists and and for our host, who is a scientist, credibility also matters with with your core target audience. So it’s not like we de emphasize the science, we just frame the science with important storytelling that helps the wider audience understand why this matters. So if you think about your core target audience, and then you think about people who are just adjacent to that, what would it take those people, the ones who are kind of peering over the fence at your brand, you know, or at your topic? So we say that that particular show for Genome BC, it’s for scientists and for the science curious sort of thing. And so we try to remember the science curious folk when we’re doing our storytelling. It doesn’t mean that we dumb it down. It means that we open our arms and we try to write it in a way that’s inclusive to a slightly wider audience, while still delivering excellent, groundbreaking, scientific insight that is timely and relevant. It’s a hard line to walk. Actually. Christian Klepp  31:07 It is. Jen Moss  31:07 It takes a lot of skill and it takes a lot of attention, but if you get it right, you know that show, that show, is winning every award we enter. Christian Klepp  31:17 Wow, yeah, remind me what the name of the show was again. Jen Moss  31:20 Oh, it’s called Nice Genes, like G-E-N-E-S yes, yeah. And then they have a short form one called Genes Shorts. Christian Klepp  31:27 Genes shorts, okay? Because why not? All right, Jen Moss  31:30 Because why not. Trying to have a little fun. So what’s gonna stand out? Right? We thought, you know, Nice Genes!, exclamation mark. That’ll stand out. Christian Klepp  31:38 Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, Jen, you’ve given us plenty of insights already and some actionable tips, but just imagine that there’s somebody out there that’s listening to the show and they’re like, gosh, you know what we are exactly in this situation right now. What advice would you give them? Like, maybe, like, three to five things they can take action on right now that they can help launch a podcast that is not boring and that doesn’t sound like PR (Public Relations). Jen Moss  32:06 So probably the best thing you could do is do a little bit of like light competitive research. So have a look at what other podcasts are in your space, in your topic area, right? And check out this. This is going to sound mean, but check out what’s wrong with them. Like, actually go and listen to as many of them as you can. Maybe give yourself a week to do that and make make a point of listening to five a day for a week. And then you’ll start to see, okay, the vast majority of these, they don’t have good sound quality, like the host doesn’t have a proper microphone. Or the vast majority of these, the lighting is terrible, or the vast majority of these, they’re asking the same questions over and over again, and, oh, I saw that guest on three different podcasts, right? So if that’s happening, then ask yourself the next logical question, which is, how can we be different? How can we find our own kind of quadrant to step into? How can we rewrite the book here and do something unexpected that still meets our values, that still targets the right audience, but does it in a way that is going to just shake things up a little bit and challenge people’s expectations of us and and our own expectations of ourselves. So don’t take the lowest hanging fruit, at least until you’ve considered some of the other options. And it may be that you’re like, No, I actually really want to do a straight interview podcast, because I really want to have deep conversations with people like this, like this podcast does, and that’s great, but then you know, like you’ve chosen that for a reason, like you’ve you’ve given it due consideration. And then within that, even within a if you’re planning to do a straight ahead interview podcast, is there’s no shame in that. But even thinking about, like, what would make your interview podcast different? So it’s the it. Could you describe it at a cocktail party as, like, it’s the one where they blank, blank, blank, right? Could you describe it in one sentence, and is it going to be memorable that sentence? There was a show I used to watch years ago and listen to where, what was it called? It was called Another Round, and it was one of the first shows where they would drink and podcast, but they would do a ton of Political Research, these two journalists, and then they would interview someone, while getting increasingly sloshed, the guest and the two hosts, and they would get increasingly sloshed, and the questions would become more and more but, I mean, they were very successful. They had, they were on WNYC. They had Hillary Clinton on when she was running for president. So, like, it this, this is the kind of thing I’m saying. Like, I’m not saying everyone should drink in podcasts. Us. No, let’s be clear. That’s not my message. Yeah, my message is, what makes your podcast, what makes you distinct in the way you’re delivering your podcast? What is your framing device? What is the lens that you’re bringing to it? Christian Klepp  35:12 Yeah, right, yeah. No, no, I hear you. I hear you. Jen Moss  35:15 Yeah. So I think those would be my biggest pieces of advice. Is just to spend the time trying to, trying to position yourself differently. Christian Klepp  35:25 No, fantastic, fantastic. It reminds me of, I think the show was called in the Hot Seat, and it was by a cyber security firm, and they were, they were bringing in somebody that was, and I didn’t actually realize there was such a role, but this is the person that’s actually responsible for negotiating with cyber criminals. Jen Moss  35:45 Whoa, that’s I’m immediately interested. Christian Klepp  35:48 That’s a pretty intense job, right? So, yeah, when they have all that ransomware and what have you right? So this is the guy that negotiates like, release all our release all our data, right? So anyways, the host asks him the questions, and with every question, they’re basically eating chicken wings with a different type of hot sauce. Jen Moss  36:10 Oh, yeah, yeah. Christian Klepp  36:11 And the more intense question, yeah, Jen Moss  36:14 Hot ones, yeah, yeah, yeah. Christian Klepp  36:15 The more intense the question gets, the hotter the sauce becomes. Jen Moss  36:19 Yes. That’s a great show. It’s they have all kinds of interesting people on it, and it’s interesting to watch people’s reactions shift as they get more and more overwhelmed by heat. Yeah. So that’s another super example of a framing device. I mean, arguably, that one’s a bit of a gimmick. Christian Klepp  36:36 Sure. Jen Moss  36:37 You don’t necessarily need to do something that obvious. It might be something like, on this show, we always ask a certain question, or we’re always trying to get at sort of, I would call it like, the the underlying idea of this show is we’re always trying to expose this concept, like, maybe you’re trying to prove that work life balance is important, and that’s your overarching goal, and that’s the lens that you bring to your to your all of your conversations that you have. So every time you’re able to, you bring up that theme in some way and explore it with a new guest. So just whatever it is, whatever the lens is, or the device that you’re framing with, it’s just important to be intentional about that? Christian Klepp  37:21 Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. All right, Jen, I have a feeling that you’ve been on your soapbox this whole time, but please just stay up there a while longer, while I ask you this question. All right, and a status quo in your area of expertise that you passionately disagree with and why? Jen Moss  37:40 Okay, well, right now there’s, am I allowed to mention the AI (Artificial Intelligence) please? Christian Klepp  37:49 Absolutely. Jen Moss  37:49 Okay. Well, right now there’s a lot of discussion around AI driven content, and one of the ways that it’s being sort of sold to people in the industry is that it will allow you to put out more content quicker. And I can see lots of advantages to AI in the production pipeline. For example, it can be helpful with research if you’re as long as you double fact check it. It can be helpful with correcting certain things in editing. You know, if a host mispronounces a word, or you need to do like, you need to remove some background noise. AI tools can be really, really helpful. So I’m not knocking ai i i teach it. For example, I teach creative writing for new media, and I’m very interested. I’m currently building an AI VR (Virtual Reality) poetry machine with some students. So, you know, I spent a lot of time thinking about AI, and I like it and hate it. It’s a double edged sword. But what I don’t agree with is that we should be measuring the efficacy of a tool based on how fast and how often it allows us to put out content. I just don’t think that an onslaught of mediocre content is what people want. I think it’s killing the internet. Corey Doctorow would say he would call it the in shittification of the internet. And it is already, it is already happening, right? He got check it out. He’s got a book out. Christian Klepp  39:22 Okay. Jen Moss  39:22 And so that’s, you know, that’s what I worry about, is that it’s becoming like a big content hose. And so then I actually believe that the way forward, in order to actually have your message heard and received by your intended audience is to really hold on to that authenticity piece. I would rather see people do things less often, but do them better and remember that quality matters. And if we can’t remember that, then the internet is just going to be a bunch of bots talking to each other, and it’s just stupid. I just think it’s stupid. So that’s the that’s, that’s, if you know, not to put too fine a point on it, podcasting is, is not about efficiency. It’s about communication. It’s about connection. It’s about contact. It’s about humans talking to humans. And if it’s, if you fail to recognize that it’s sort of at your peril, you know, Christian Klepp  40:23 Absolutely, absolutely. And I mean, it goes back to the point you were making at the beginning of this conversation. I mean, if you want to create a show that stands out and that’s different, right, then you probably shouldn’t be churning out vanilla content, right? Using AI. Jen Moss  40:39 Doesn’t work. Christian Klepp  40:39 That’s not the way to do it, right? Jen Moss  40:41 Go ahead, but no one will listen to it. So you’ll be able to be like, Look, I I tick, tick, tick. I put out this many episodes, or this many social media clips, or whatever it is. But what’s what are your consumption rates like? Are the right? Are the right people finding your content? Are they engaging with you? Is it moving the needle for you in terms of your goals, the job of the podcast? Like these are all the things that people really need to consider before they sort of hop on the AI bus, I think. And again, I’m not a Luddite, yeah. I use AI daily despite its rather terrifying environmental impact, yeah, yeah, but it’s become almost a ubiquitous tool that’s difficult to avoid in our line of work. But I do think that some people are really taking it too far, and it’s because they’re misunderstood. They’re misunderstanding the mission. The mission is not volume and efficiency. The mission is connection. Christian Klepp  41:41 Absolutely, absolutely Jen, wow. What a conversation. Well, at the very least this episode is not boring, right? Jen Moss  41:50 Like, I mean, I don’t know, ask my ask my 20 something daughter. Christian Klepp  41:58 Different strokes are different folks, I’m gonna say, but thank thank you so much for coming on and for sharing your expertise and experience with the listeners. So please, a quick introduction to yourself and how folks out there can get in touch. Jen Moss  42:09 with you.

Custody evaluations tend to bring up two very different reactions for survivors.For some, the idea of an evaluation is terrifying, especially if they have heard stories about how much power evaluators hold and how often survivors feel misunderstood or mischaracterized.For others, a custody evaluation feels like hope. It can feel like the moment they will finally be seen, believed, or taken seriously after months or years of being dismissed.Both reactions make sense.In this episode, we break down what custody evaluators are actually supposed to assess, where the process often breaks down, especially in cases involving coercive control or post-separation abuse, and what options survivors may have if the evaluation does not reflect their reality.This episode is not meant to scare you or tell you to expect the worst.It is about understanding the process well enough to reduce surprises and protect yourself emotionally and strategically.Resources mentioned in this episode:Rocks in a Jar technique: https://youtu.be/ibqemrMJe2w (If you're short on time, scroll to 10:30 in the video)Project Justice USA: https://www.projectjusticeusa.com/Join me on February 18th at 12pm MST for the Parenting to Combat Coercive Control Live Workshop for protective moms focused on protecting and repairing the parent–child relationship: https://mailchi.mp/risingbeyondpc/coercive-controlPlease leave us a review or rating and follow/subscribe to the show.

Pastor Matt begins this foundational message by sharing "A Tale of Three Bibles"—a personal story illustrating his spiritual journey from keeping his Bible on the shelf to becoming fully engaged with God's Word. He introduces Hope Church's 2026 theme based on Joshua 1:8, emphasizing the importance of daily meditation on Scripture for life transformation. The "Bible in a JAR" series will spend 70% of the year's Sundays studying John, Acts, and Romans—books that collectively answer the essential questions of who Jesus is, what His followers should do, and what disciples should believe. Pastor Matt provides a 60,000-foot overview of the entire Bible, explaining how it tells one continuous story through four major themes: Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. This story ultimately demonstrates God's great love for us, summarized perfectly in John 3:16. He establishes that Jesus Christ is the central figure of all Scripture, with the Old Testament anticipating Him and the New Testament explaining Him. Using the "New Triangle" framework of knowing, becoming, and doing with the Bible at the center, Pastor Matt shows how these three books work together: John reveals who Jesus is (God and Savior), Acts demonstrates the church's mission to take Jesus to the world, and Romans explains the theological foundation and practical application of our faith. The message concludes with 2 Timothy 3:16-17 as the memory verse, emphasizing that all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.

Clean energy isn't just good for the planet, it's good for your wallet. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. But too many politicians would rather protect billionaires than help working families save on their bills.

This podcast is for fans of all kinds of Celtic music. We are here to build a diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. If you hear music you love, please email the artists to let them know you heard them on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. These musicians are not part of some corporation.

The initial goal was to fund our 2025 Best of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast album. Happily that goal was reached within three days of the start of the campaign. Now we have a secondary stretch goal to fund the… IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODFEST AND ARTS MARKET This is a one - day music festival and arts market that will take place on Sunday, March 8, 2026 at The Lost Druid Brewery in Avondale Estates, GA, 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta. There are four bands performing at the festival. I am performing one show solo and one show with May Will Bloom, where my daughter takes the lead. Kinfolk will join us as well as I mentioned last week. But the final band performing at the festival is a 3 - piece version of The Muckers, our local Celtic punk band. That will complete our lineup. Follow our event page on Facebook for more details. Or Follow us for Free on our Patreon page. Now my next goal is to raise $3200 so that all of the bands are paid a decent wage and to promote our first - ever Celtic festival. To that end, I added three new rewards for Kickstarter. Each is a chance to sponsor individual bands at the festival. When you do, you'll get one of the first album pins from each of these amazing Celtic bands. That's because we are highlighting album pins at the festival as well, as another means to promote the music of bands. Our album pins are wooden lapel pins themed to a particular album released by a band. The buyer gets a digital download of the album, then they can wear their album! There's just 8 days left on this Kickstarter. So please make a pledge to support Celtic culture through music. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

The New Yorker described Savage as, "a marvellous storyteller, a quirky thinker, and an incorrigible free-associator. He sometimes sounds less like a political commentator than like the star of a riveting and unusually vivid one-man play." Listen to these beloved tales from the master storyteller on this extraordinary episode. He reminisces on his tough teachers, life for the working class in Queens, the tight-knit communities of yesteryear, and the human condition. First, listen about the no-nonsense Irish Geometry teacher who would be fired in today's woke schools; his father's friend who moved into middle class only to suffer a sad fate; Louie who taught him to straighten nails with his own hands; the tale of The Jar, and many more.

Are you feeling stuck in life, like a pumpkin in a jar? You're not alone. Many people suffer from a “mistaken identity”, not realizing their true potential or the power of their own dreams. This week on Insight Out, Doug Dane is here to show us how to use the Mistaken Identity Model to get self-discovery, freedom, and success. He's been able to beat the odds and find success in his own life, despite the trauma of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse he experienced as a child. He will share how to break free from limiting beliefs to discover his true self and how he transformed his life, breaking free from the oppressive jar of his past and inspiring others to do the same. Through the stories of Gandhi, mentors, and books like Think and Grow Rich, Doug was inspired to take control of his life and find who he truly was. He faced his fears and story and through this, discovered his purpose. This journey taught him that everyone has a special gift and that one can change their story and the world. Meet ⁠Doug Dane⁠, Doug is the author of ⁠Mistaken Identity⁠, a mentor for leadership, business, and mindset. Doug has spent over 25 years coaching people to improve their results and feel better about themselves so they can stop hiding and start living. He's on a mission to show people how to let go of their past so they can create a better life for themselves, their families, and the world.  Have you ever grappled with attaining self-realization, autonomy, and success? Then this episode is for you. Tune in now to uncover the power of transformation! Here's what Doug and I cover: What inspires Doug about the great leader Gandhi.

“EXORCISM” by Ray Bradbury | When her mailman husband delivered a package of forbidden books to the woman up the street, Elmira Brown finally had proof of what she'd suspected all along — and she wasn't about to let a witch win another election.IN THIS EPISODE: The name Ray Bradbury immediately brings to mind such fictional tales – classics, many of them… some of which I've narrated here in the podcast such as “The Jar”, “Skeleton”, and “The Small Assassin.” But as good as Bradbury was at writing about the paranormal, he could also write comedy – and in tonight's story he combines the two. “Exorcism” is a fun short tale about a nosy housewife who suspects an older woman in town is studying to become a witch… and decides to confront the old lady to voice her disapproval. SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Exorcism” by Ray Bradbury, from the book “The Stories of Ray Bradbury” from Rosetta Books:https://amzn.to/49nrJTGWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Today on Typical Skeptic Podcast, I'm honored to welcome Eve Lorgen – counselor, hypnotherapist, anomalous trauma researcher and author of The Love Bite: Alien Interference in Human Love Relationships and The Dark Side of Cupid.Eve has been on the front lines of this work since the early 1990s, counseling alien abductees, MILABs, mind control survivors, DID/RA survivors, and targets of spiritual warfare and demonic/psychic attacks. She coined the term “alien love bite” to describe orchestrated love relationships engineered by non-human intelligences and has helped countless experiencers recognize and heal from these patterns and from Complex Trauma/CPTSD that often begins in childhood.Today we're going to get into what anomalous trauma really is, how alien and paranormal forces can manipulate love and bonding, how this overlaps with cult and narcissistic abuse, and most importantly, what real recovery and spiritual sovereignty look like.3.
