Podcast appearances and mentions of John Cook

Someone listening to last week’s GeekWire Podcast caught something we missed: a misleading comment by Alexa during our voice ordering demo — illustrating the challenges of ordering by voice vs. screen. We followed up with Amazon, which says it has fixed the underlying bug. On this week’s show, we play the audio of the order again. Can you catch it? Plus, Microsoft announces a "community first" approach to AI data centers after backlash over power and water usage — and President Trump scooped us on the story. We discuss the larger issues and play a highlight from our interview with Microsoft President Brad Smith. Also: the technology capturing images of every fan at Lumen Field, UK police blame Copilot for a hallucinated soccer match, and Redfin Glenn Kelman departs six months after the company's acquisition by Rocket.

This week on the GeekWire Podcast: Amazon and Microsoft are racing to define the next era of consumer AI, on multiple fronts. We discuss Amazon's attempt to upgrade Alexa into a true generative AI home chatbot — complete with a new web portal and updated Alexa app — while Microsoft leverages its enterprise strength to win over retailers with a new Copilot Checkout feature. Plus, we explore Google's upcoming "AI Inbox" for Gmail, which promises to act like an executive assistant for your email. We talk about a DIY bird feeder experiment that resulted in "fuzzy birds," and share our initial experience with AI automation on the PC desktop from Seattle startup Vercept. We offer a Netflix recommendation, Cover-Up, the new documentary about investigative journalist Seymour Hersh. And on that theme, we lament the loss of a major American newspaper, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and reminisce about the time we made an appearance on its editorial page.

From Pews to Planet: Faith-Based Steps to Better Creation Stewardship   In this episode of the Good Faith Podcast, host Curtis Chang and guest Dr. Katherine Hayhoe—Chief Scientist at The Nature Conservancy and a committed evangelical Christian—explore why Christians and churches should care about climate change as a biblical "love your neighbor" issue rooted in justice for the poor and vulnerable. Hayhoe explains how political polarization and "solution aversion" fuel climate skepticism. She introduces the "Six Americas" framework and offers practical guidance for having hopeful, effective conversations that connect climate action to what people already care about. Dr. Hayhoe offers actionable next steps for individuals and congregations—like sharing solutions, starting church initiatives, and leading with hope instead of doom—so Christians can faithfully steward God's creation.   05:23 - Dr. Hayhoe's Faith Journey and Science 07:12 - Experiencing Creation's Vulnerability  09:17 - Is Climate Change a Justice Issue? 10:42 - Encountering Christian Climate Skepticism  18:06 - Christian Organizations and Climate Action 24:35 - Connecting Climate to Personal Values A 28:23 - Navigating Difficult Conversations  33:31 -  What Are the "Six Americas" of Climate Attitudes? 43:02 - Scientific Evidence and Human Impact  48:15 - Focusing on Solutions, Not Just Science  50:03 - What Is One Action Step for the Unsure Christian? 53:00 - What Is One Action Step for the Committed Christian  55:00 - Are There Practical Church-Based Climate Actions?   Episode Companion: Christians and Climate Change Guide 1   Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter   Mentioned In This Episode:   Organizations and Networks A Rocha USA Evangelical Environmental Network Tearfund Compassion International World Vision Yale Program on Climate Change Communication   Websites, Tools, Books, and Newsletters Skeptical Science Global Weirding (Video podcast) Colby May's Energy For Purpose (ministry Energy Management) Mark Noll's The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind Dr. John Cook's Cranky Uncle vs. Climate Change: How to Understand and Respond to Climate Science Deniers Bill McKibben's website   Studies and Surveys National Academy of Sciences Survey Results (2023-2024) Belief in divine (versus human) control of earth affects perceived threat of climate change (npj) Pew Research: The pope is concerned about climate change.

The FCC delivered a massive shakeup to the drone industry right before the holidays, adding foreign-made drones (most notably from industry giant DJI) to its "Covered List" of national security threats. While the move effectively bans the sale of future DJI models in the U.S., GeekWire’s Todd Bishop and John Cook explore why this might be a golden economic opportunity for the Pacific Northwest. Featuring highlights from a recent interview with Blake Resnick of Brinc, the Seattle-based maker of public safety drones, who lobbied for the U.S. policy change and supports the move.

In this episode of the Max Out Mindset Podcast, we welcome back John Cook for his second appearance on the show. John is a four-time national champion volleyball coach and the current GM of the Omaha Supernovas. This time, the conversation goes beyond trophies and records and into what actually lasts inside great programs. John shares how he defines success with his teams, especially as he builds a brand-new professional organization. We talk about playing for each other, trusting the work when it matters most, competing with joy, and creating a culture people want to be part of — win or lose. This episode is for coaches who want sustained excellence, not short-term results. For leaders who want trust, connection, and standards that hold up under pressure. And for anyone who believes the scoreboard never tells the full story. Max Out Mindset for Volleyball Book Max out Mindset for Volleyball book and services here.

Todd Bishop and John Cook reflect on the top tech stories of 2025, a pivotal year defined by the AI boom's dual nature: massive infrastructure spending alongside widespread layoffs. We discuss Bill Gates' framing of AI as "intelligence becoming free," the tension between tech workers and corporate mandates to adopt AI, and the "best of times, worst of times" dichotomy playing out at Microsoft, Amazon, and across the industry. We also cover the top story of the year — UW rethinking its computer science curriculum — the Statsig acquisition by OpenAI, Seattle's competitive position, and the human side of tech through Ambika Singh's heartfelt speech at the GeekWire Awards. Featuring audio clips from Gates, Satya Nadella, Andy Jassy, Ken Jennings, and more. Audio editing by Curt Milton.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amazon is experimenting again. This week, we dig into our scoop on Amazon Now, the company's new ultrafast delivery service. Plus, we recap the GeekWire team's ride in a Zoox robotaxi on the Las Vegas Strip during AWS re:Invent.

This week: A glimpse of the AI frontier in workplace productivity through the eyes of David Shim — serial entrepreneur, Read AI co-founder and CEO, former Foursquare leader, and this year’s GeekWire Awards CEO of the Year. Shim spoke with GeekWire co-founder John Cook at a recent dinner event hosted in partnership with Accenture, in conjunction with our new Agents of Transformation editorial series, exploring AI, productivity, and the future of work. They discuss the rapid rise of workplace AI, why Shim believes today’s boom is fueled by real revenue rather than dot-com-style subsidies, and where he sees both hype and genuine value emerging. Shim offers insights on AI assistants, cross-team “multiplayer AI,” global adoption, and the controversial idea of “digital twins” built from employees’ work data.

Hi folks — and welcome in to this episode of Next on the Tee, where golf legends live and your game gets better! I've got two incredible guests joining me on this episode who continue to make a big impact on the game — and on how we enjoy it. First up is PGA Tour legend John Cook — U.S. Amateur Champion, 21-time winner across the PGA and Champions Tours, and one of the sharpest voices in golf broadcasting. John and I start off talking a little Ohio State football and how the Steelers already have their next franchise QB on their roster. We then move to how surprised I was that a 5 time Ryder Cup player didn't get a mic for this year's event (and should have), and why we're both pumped about the return of the Skins Game. We also tackle one of my favorite debates — how players from John's era would stack up against today's stars. Spoiler: guys from the 70s & 80s would dominate IMO. Then, I'm joined by the incredibly talented Courtney Weber, a TPI Level 3 Certified Trainer and Golf Digest Certified Fitness Coach. She shares simple, effective ways to build strength, improve mobility, and get rid of those nagging aches that hold your swing back — even if you “hate leg day.” We talk ankle mobility, lower back stiffness, and yes, how to ditch the “dad bod” and find more Vitamin G — Gratitude. It's a mix of stories, laughs, and real takeaways you can put to work — on and off the course.

Why is Amazon laying off 14,000 people during a massive AI boom?

Cook talked about his career and the college players of today. He also gave advice to parents that have elite level kids and also talked about how getting out on the course and playing holes is the ultimate data point.

Eleven times he entered the winner's circle on the PGA TOUR, and 10 times he won on PGA TOUR Champions.

Time is one the most valuable things in life. Depending on the time of year, Cook found short breaks from the grueling demands of running a volleyball program. But when he was in the heat of the preseason, regular season, postseason, recruiting battles or volleyball camps, Cook was all-in.

The Five Heart Podcast returns with hosts Greg and Minnie welcoming fall camp and counting down three weeks to Nebraska's season opener against Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium. They discuss enduring Phoenix heat, fun experiments like cooking eggs on sidewalks, and then shift to Husker volleyball news. Nebraska is ranked No. 1 in the preseason AVCA poll, and former head coach John Cook has been named co-owner and GM of the Omaha Supernovas in the newly merged U.S. professional volleyball league. Football talk centers on new defensive coordinator John Butler, praised for his no-nonsense style, high standards, and commitment to playing talented transfers like Marquise Watson-Trent. Defensive line prospects Riley Van Poppel and Elijah Judy are highlighted as successors to Ty Robinson and Nash Hutmacher. The hosts discuss fall camp limitations—only nine full-pad practices—and Butler's emphasis on fundamentals and communication. The conversation turns playful as Greg challenges Minnie's tendency to compliment other Big Ten teams, sparking humorous “fan treason” debates in the live chat. They also touch on quarterback Dylan Raiola's potential, cutting turnovers, and team conditioning. As always, the Holger Maniacs in chat provide lively side commentary, making the episode a blend of football analysis, Husker pride, and good-natured banter.

Gary and Matt breaks down John Cook's new role with the Omaha Supernovas and debate on the different Nebraska venues they can play. Speaking of Nebraska, we give credit to John Cook for picking the right time to hand over the reigns.

Omar Medina was a young music producer who went missing in September 2017. Days later, his body was found in a barrel in the San Diego Bay. Investigators traced the evidence back to Omar's former landlord, Timothy John Cook. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Timothy John Cook and the murder of Omar Medina. Cook denied all involvement in Omar's murder, but the investigation of a truck and a boat led to him and also to one of his friends as a possible accomplice. Did Cook kill over a security deposit? Or did he have a much broader plan to fleece Omar out of a recent inheritance?You can help support the show at patreon.com/truecrimeallthetimeVisit the show's website at truecrimeallthetime.com for contact, merchandise, and donation informationAn Emash Digital productionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
