Linda Kearns fills in for Dawn Stensland on The Dawn Stensland Show with an episode packed with media commentary, movie absurdity, and deep-dive legal analysis. The crew opens up with local radio producer banter, pizza oven debates, summer cooking secrets, and the utter ridiculousness of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's high-priced lifestyle products. Rich Zeoli joins the desk for his signature pop culture quiz segment, taking on superhero movie descriptions, mocking terrible Hollywood film premises like the upcoming sperm whale survival drama, and breaking down why movie theaters are still vital despite mindless blockbuster recycling. We take a look at the bizarre side of boardwalk entertainment with a discussion on how arcade claw machines are manufactured to lose and why new regulations are forcing game makers to give players a realistic chance to win.

//The Wire//2300Z August 18, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: KINETIC TARGETING CONTINUES WITHIN MIDDLE EAST AS HOUTHIS LAUNCH MISSILES TOWARD DUBAI. TONGAN CRIP THREAT REMAINS SIGNIFICANT IN SALT LAKE CITY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Iran struck two more ships in the Strait of Hormuz last night, continuing the trend of the past couple of weeks. This morning, the UKMTO retroactively admitted to a merchant vessel being struck on August 15th, with the ship sustaining damage and one crew casualty. This afternoon, Houthi forces conducted a ballistic missile strike on the UAE, with missile warnings being issued in Dubai, for the first time since May. No locals reported witnessing any interception, and government officials stated that one missile splashed down in the Gulf, and another landed outside their territory.Analyst Comment: On the rhetoric front, this morning President Trump continued claiming control of the Strait of Hormuz, posting a graphic which claims the Strait is now U.S. territory. Even though waterways traditionally can't be claimed as land territory, and while this may just be a more lighthearted meme, at the other end of the spectrum this could be more serious. If the White House is indeed serious about making a territorial declaration of some kind, this could be an effort to move the goalposts to allow for the use of more substantial weapons. If Hormuz is America, then the US can claim that Iran is attacking the homeland. Of course, this logic is a stretch at best, but it's exactly the kind of reasoning that would make sense for the White House to rely on at this stage in the war.-HomeFront-Utah: One suspect has been arrested in conjunction with yesterday's events in Salt Lake City. Afuhia Masiu Manatau was arrested for his role in yesterday's shooting at the Tongan funeral in Kearns. During the funeral, a fight broke out among the congregation, between his 17-year-old son, and several others. During the fight, Manatau gave a firearm to his son, which resulted in the son attempting to murder the others. Manatau's son (the shooter) was shot in the chest during the engagement, and Manatau himself has been arrested.Analyst Comment: Concerning casualties, so far one fatality was reported as a result of the funeral shooting. The victim has been identified as Vilisoni (Soni) Angilau, a confirmed Tongan Crip who was recently released from prison after murdering a member of a rival gang in 2013. Soni Angilau's immediate relative, Naisa Angilau, was also recently released from prison for a completely different shooting as well, after he attempted to kill a gas station clerk in 2009. Of note, Soni's brother Siale also met a violent end as he was also shot and killed during a high-profile shooting that took place inside the courtroom during his trial. Siale Angilau was shot and killed by federal Marshals after attempting to stab a witness to death during his trial for racketeering back in 2014. All of these family members have an extensive presence on social media, and all self-identify as Tongan Crips.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Utah, additional details are helpful for understanding how serious yesterday's shooting actually was, especially considering the long history of similar murders. Despite assurances to the contrary, Intermountain Medical Center remained locked down throughout the evening last night, as the threats to the hospital remained constant. Many non-essential employees were escorted out of the hospital by SWAT, and patients' medical procedures were canceled due to the security threat. Intermountain Public Relations officials issued statements claiming that everything was fine and that there was no threat to the hospital, however employees within the hospital confirmed that these statements were not true.Intercepted radio traffic from 911 dispatch also confirms that the reason for the overwhelming police response at the hospital, was due to the Tongan Crip Gang attempting to breach the entrance to the Emergency department. At least one employee was assaulted and wounded in the ER, and a large crowd of Tongans also attempted to break through the Emergency Room entrance on the south side of Unit 4. After this breach attempt, local authorities responded in force, with SWAT officers responding immediately to reinforce the hospital and prevent the facility from being overrun. Snipers were deployed to the rooftops, and at least two Bearcat armored vehicles were posted at the Emergency Department to secure a perimeter around the facility.Concerning future threats, the circumstances of yesterday's funeral shooting are still unclear, with much of the eyewitness testimony being verifiably false as gang members seek to cover up the crime. The main question is whether or not this will result in a wider gang war, and right now the answer to that question is not so clear. The Tongan Crip Gang is known to engage in mutual combat within the gang itself, as rival factions settle internal disputes with violence and murder. Funerals are a common way for hostile TCG factions to meet up, and tensions flare. However, the Tongans also have many rivals locally which might also be inclined to stoke up a gang war. The TCG originally had a foothold in Inglewood, California, where the gang achieved it's extremely brutal reputation. After expanding this foothold to Salt Lake City, the TCG became one of the most legendarily violent gangs in the entire nation. Though small in numbers, they make up for their lack of footsoldiers with sheer violence. Even so, many locals prefer to call them "nice" and ignore this brutality, due to the affiliation this gang has within facilities owned by the LDS Church. This gang is known to murder people randomly without a second thought, and despite Tongans being less than one percent of the population of Utah, they make up over 13% of all gang member affiliation in the region. For those who want to make the argument that "not all Tongans" are causing problems, unfortunately in Salt Lake City specifically, this does not appear to be the case based on the case history and preponderance of evidence. During the Tongan Crip funeral murder at an LDS Ward back in January...not a single churchgoer came forward to name the killer. 100% of the congregants at the Ward where the murder took place, refused to speak to the police or provide a statement regarding what they saw. Police set up an anonymous hotline to protect witnesses, but among the hundreds of Tongans that witnessed that shooting, not a single person came forward to testify and the shooters were eventually charged based on evidence of the murder plans being found on their phones.Even the small handful of Tongans who are not documented gang members are extremely loyal to tribal allegiances; quite literally every single Tongan with a social media presence in Salt Lake County has expressed support for their guy who attempted to murder a gas station clerk with a shotgun. No one within this diaspora has condemned the actions of the man who's funeral even resulted in further bloodshed. The Tongan community has not tried to distance themselves from the frequent murders that are conducted within their areas, and most of the Tongan Wards within Salt Lake close ranks around those who commit violent murders.Concerning yesterday's shootings, posts on social media indicate that other family members of yesterday's deceased have been observed flashing Tongan Crip Gang signs and generally confirming their gang affiliation, specifically within the Tongan Wards. On Facebook, most of the Salt Lake Tongans don't wish each other a "Happy B-Day"...they change it to "C-Day" because the letter "B" is too closely affiliated with their arch rivals...the Bloods. This is a callback to their Inglewood origins...many of the TCG's rivals are much the same as in California. The Rose Park Bloods are their main external adversary within Salt Lake, as both gangs have been expanding into each other's turf. In the same area, the Rose Park Taliban (a gang formed from the children of refugees from the Middle East) also maintains some presence, and is allied with the Bloods. Back in March, a Rose Park Taliban member tried to murder a liquor store employee in Taylorsville (near Tongan Crip territory), so gang violence in southwest Salt Lake specifically from these gangs is a constant. As yesterday's "victim" had previously killed a member of the Baby Regulators gang, it's possible that this was a revenge killing that was unrelated to the other Angilau who's funeral was being held at the time.As a result of this complicated web of alliances and relationships between extremely violent gangs, more violence is expected. Despite the grass skirts, barbeques, and disarming smiles, most of these people are killers, and the killing is only likely to escalate. Since one person was killed during the funeral shooting, the funeral for that person will undoubtedly be another opportunity for another shooting, as the cycle of violence and vengeance continues.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

//The Wire//2300Z August 17, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: WAR IN MIDDLE EAST REMAINS STAGNANT. WHITE HOUSE SIGNALS SHIFT AWAY FROM PACOM AS PRESIDENT TRUMP ATTEMPTS TO IMPROVE RELATIONS WITH NORTH KOREA. TONGAN CRIP GANG SHOOTING REPORTED AT FUNERAL IN SALT LAKE CITY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The situation remains much the same, no major changes over the weekend. Iran did not conduct any major strikes over the past few days, and the Houthis have also not engaged any Saudi oil refineries since last week. Otherwise the situation remains as before.South Korea: Over the weekend President Trump announced a significant change to the American diplomatic position regarding the Korean Peninsula. Due to South Korea not participating in hostilities during the Gulf War, President Trump has ordered the United States to reduce American participation in ROK military exercises.Analyst Comment: This is a big deal, but one that has been boiling since the Gulf War began. Pinning American diplomatic efforts to whether or not nations supported us during the war highlights the priority the White House is placing on the conflict. Supplies and missile defenses have been taken from PACOM for months now, and this halting of joint exercises with South Korea is the latest development in the de-prioritization of all operational theaters in order to support the war. Similarly, the other effect of de-prioritizing South Korea, is to improve relations with North Korea, which in turn might lead to another round of diplomatic talks soon.-HomeFront-Michigan: More details have come to light regarding a series of small arms attacks carried out a few days ago. On Friday, authorities responded to a private residence in Missaukee County, where a mass shooting had occurred. 3x deceased victims and 1x severely wounded victim were located at the residence, with the suspect having fled the scene. At the scene, the immediate investigation resulted in the discovery of another fatality located at a different residence adjacent to the initial shooting site. The suspect was identified as Chad Hickman, and a large-scale manhunt was conducted throughout the area. Some time later, Hickman's vehicle was located near Whitlock Lake, where the remains of one additional victim and the deceased suspect were discovered.Analyst Comment: So far, no motive has been disclosed for this attack, but right now this looks like a domestic incident. The suspect's sister is reportedly among the casualties, and Hickman had also recently been involved in a messy divorce.Utah: This morning a riot and subsequent mass shooting was reported at an LDS Ward in Salt Lake City. Local authorities initially responded to the 13th Ward in Kearns, after a street fight involving 80+ people broke out during a Tongan cultural event and funeral. At some point during the fray, several people were shot as a state of mutual combat broke out between suspected members of the Tongan Crip Gang, and local rivals.After the initial shooting at the funeral, the wounded suspected gang members were transported to Intermountain Medical Center, where another skirmish possibly broke out in the parking area. Several reports of shots-fired were issued, and the hospital was locked down throughout the afternoon. No details have been provided on this second incident, or the status of the reported shootings at the hospital. However, ambulances are being diverted away from Intermountain Health, and armored police vehicles are reportedly parked at the facility providing security.Analyst Comment: These shootings are directly linked to a different shooting. This was the funeral for Ofa'tangikivaha Angilau, a Tongan man who was neutralized by Good Samaritans two weeks ago. On August 7th, Angilau attempted to purchase alcohol without showing ID at the Holiday Oil gas station in Riverton. After the clerk denied his purchase, he left the store and returned with a shotgun, and attempted to murder the clerk. Before Angilau could bring the shotgun to bear, he was promptly shot dead by two different bystanders in the store. His funeral was this morning, and due to the shooting breaking out during the funeral, this retroactively indicates that Angilau was probably affiliated with the Tongan Crip Gang.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: For wider context, the Tongan community has a major foothold in Salt Lake County, and have been running operations inside LDS Wards throughout the city for some time. The LDS Church has organized several different Tongan Stakes (districts) which serve as the administrative hierarchy solely for immigrants from the Pacific island of Tonga. Around 13,000 Tongans live throughout the Salt Lake County area, which is roughly a quarter of the entire Tongan population in the United States, and as a result the LDS Church has provided substantial resources for this community, including a few dozen cultural centers and dedicated Wards just for Tongans. At these facilities, no English is spoken and even the websites are in the Tongan language. Over time, the Tongan Crip Gang has emerged as a major threat to the local area. In many cases, the Tongan Wards within Salt Lake City are not really houses of worship, but actually safehouses for the Tongan Crip Gang, as demonstrated by gang colors being placed all around these structures, only gang members attending these wards, and the frequent shootings at these facilities. Due to the gang seeking refuge within LDS churches...in the heartland of where the LDS Church was founded...this rarely gets mentioned by local mainstream media sources, which in many cases have either been financially motivated (or even outright ordered) to ignore this major gang threat. Most outsiders are rather shocked to learn that a violent gang can not just occupy houses of worship, but be invited in to use the facilities to continue their criminal enterprises. But that's what's been happening in Salt Lake City for a long time, and as unpleasant as it is, this must be acknowledged as the body count keeps rising.The Tongan Crip problem has become so bad that local police pre-stage at Tongan funerals, because they assess with a high degree of certainty that there is going to be a shootout at some point. This morning's shooting is the second shooting this year involving a funeral for a Tongan Crip Gang member; back in January, nearly the exact same event took place. Tongan Crips were having a funeral for one of their leaders, and a rival gang showed up to conduct a shooting in the parking lot. This morning's shooting occurred under nearly identical circumstances. Also during both shootings, upwards of a dozen officers were already staged at these Wards with rifles, prepared for the active shooting, knowing that a small arms engagement would be occurring at some point.Nevertheless, nobody wants to ruffle any feathers when a faith-based organization is involved, even if that organization is knowingly and deliberately allowing a gang to operate within their facilities, so these shootings (but especially the Tongan Crip angle) will continue to be ignored by local media, politicians, and Church leadership alike. However, both today's shooting, and the prior one in January took place in close proximity to schools, where children could have been wounded or killed by the gunfights in the parking lots, so this is not merely an internal Church problem. Further investigation will be needed to truly determine how widespread the problem is, but this is probably more significant than most people realize, and pretending everything is fine is resulting in clear and present dangers being allowed to threaten innocent citizens.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

We open today with Linda Kearns stepping in for Dawn Stensland as Dawn enjoys a well-deserved break with her family. We dive right into historical milestones, reflecting on the 49th anniversary of Elvis Presley's funeral and recounting the public viewing at Graceland, the massive procession through Memphis, and the lasting cultural legacy of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. We also react to listener calls regarding Dr. Anthony Fauci, examining the legal complexities surrounding potential presidential pardons and debating whether pursuing prosecution makes sense as the midterms approach. We bring on independent journalists Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis from Surge Philly to break down what is happening on the ground at political demonstrations across the East Coast. The crew reacts to their firsthand accounts covering radical left-wing protests in Washington, D.C., where activists gathered to demonstrate against the one-year National Guard deployment. We discuss how crime rates and homicides dropped significantly following the deployment, while highlighting how extreme anti-American rhetoric and fringe political movements continue to surface at these demonstrations. We press Frank and Ian on the underlying causes of youth radicalization, exploring how economic pressure, a lack of community, and broken family structures drive young people toward socialist ideologies. To end the conversation on a lighter note, we put our guests through a fifth-grade trivia quiz covering basic American history and science, proving just how important real civic education is today. We wrap up the show looking ahead to the Phillies' playoff chances before handing off the microphone to the Dean of Talk Radio, Dom Giordano.

A developing story out of Kearns leads today's show — police activity near three schools triggered secure protocols, and Unified Police Department Assistant Chief Justin Hoyle is expected to provide updates. We break down what we know so far and later bring in former Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank to discuss the investigation, where things go from here, and the alarming similarities to the Rose Park funeral shooting earlier this year. In our Three Things: Hayden Panettiere, beloved star of "Heroes" and "Nashville," has died at 36. Plus, a black bear in Logan has been euthanized after roaming Cache Valley for days.  Attorney Brett Rosen from Nelson Jones joins us to walk through what happens after an officer-involved shooting, following the Taylorsville incident where police shot and killed a man armed with a knife during a burglary investigation. Former Salt Lake City Police Chief, Chris Burbank brings analysis on the shooting in Kearns that took place at a funeral and how it is similar to the shooting at another funeral in Rose Park earlier this year.  As school starts, we're asking: should you let your newly licensed teen drive to school? We're taking your texts and calls, breaking down the pros and cons, and talking tips every parent needs to hear before handing over the keys as Ethan weighs the decision with his daughter.

Guest host Linda Kearns fills in for Dawn Stensland and opens Monday with producer Andrew Tar, reacting to morning show host Nick Kayal's wild confession about skipping hand washing at the station. We honor the 49th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death, discussing his massive cultural legacy, his family's fight to secure his estate, and Andrew's own wedding anniversary connection to the King of Rock and Roll. Plus, we check in on the severe tropical weather impacting Hawaii and look ahead to a full lineup of special guests coming up this week on The Dawn Show. We welcome Joe DeFeliz, Regional Administrator and Assistant Deputy Secretary for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Joe breaks down HUD's new Opportunity Zones 2.0 initiative, explaining how the program incentivizes private capital to revitalize rural and distressed communities without relying on government handouts. He reflects on his travels through rural Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New Jersey, and we pivot to talk local Philadelphia favorites—from the evolving city cheesesteak scene to massive expectations for the Phillies, Eagles, Sixers, and Flyers. Linda dives deep into election data to set the record straight on the widely hyped Amish vote in Pennsylvania from the 2024 election. Using data from Elizabethtown College, we examine the real numbers behind registration and turnout in Lancaster County to demonstrate why voters need to be critical consumers of social media claims. We wrap up by reminding listeners how to find the station's weekend programming on the Odyssey platform and getting ready to pass the mic over for Dom Time.

What does it mean to become a man? And who teaches us how? In this episode, Tim is joined by author Shannon Kearns to explore the stories, expectations and assumptions that shape masculinity. Drawing on his experience as a trans man, Shannon offers a unique perspective on what it means to consciously navigate a world that many assume comes naturally.Together they explore male loneliness, friendship, vulnerability, violence, faith, and the quiet fear many men carry of not being enough. Rather than offering another culture-war take on masculinity, this conversation asks a more generous question: what might it look like to improvise a better way of being a man?After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim and Joy reflect on their own experiences of gender, friendship and vulnerability, and wonder whether some of the familiar stories we tell about men and women are quite as simple as they seem.Interview starts at 13m 13s Books, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

Welcome to Session 336 The Behavioral Observations Podcast. Well technically, this is actually Session 199, and I wanted to take a minute to explain why you're hearing a rebroadcast. This conversation with Dr. Jason Travers originally aired back in September of 2022, but I've decided it's worth bringing back because, unfortunately, the issues surrounding Facilitated Communication haven't gone away. In fact, if anything, they've become more relevant. Over the past several years, we've continued to see heartwarming news stories and viral social media posts featuring non-speaking autistic individuals who appear to be communicating through methods such as Facilitated Communication, the Rapid Prompting Method, or Spelling to Communicate. These stories are understandably compelling. We all want people with significant communication challenges to have access to effective ways to express themselves. The problem is that hope, by itself, isn't evidence. Facilitated Communication has been studied extensively for decades, and the scientific record is remarkably consistent. The evidence has repeatedly shown that the messages produced through FC originate with the facilitator, not the individual. Despite that, these practices continue to find new audiences under different names and in different settings. As behavior analysts—and really, as anyone who cares about helping people with disabilities—we have an obligation to evaluate interventions based on evidence, even when the conclusions are uncomfortable. That's especially true when the potential harms are so significant, not only for the individuals using these methods, but also for their families, educators, and support teams. I also think this episode serves as a useful foundation because I plan to cover this topic in greater depth over the coming months, along with other interventions that have gained popularity despite lacking scientific support. Rather than assuming everyone has heard this discussion before, I thought it made sense to revisit what I think is one of the clearest introductions to the topic. So whether you're hearing this conversation for the first time or giving it another listen, I hope you'll pay particular attention to the history of Facilitated Communication, how it was scientifically evaluated, why those findings matter, and how Dr. Travers recommends discussing these issues with colleagues and families in a way that's both accurate and compassionate. Please note that I edited out the "how did you get into ABA segment," so you can get right to the heart of the topic. I'll include links to the original recording if you want to go back and hear more about Jason's background. Here are the shownotes from the original broadcast: If your social media consumption is anything like mine, you've likely seen some feel-good stories in the media as of late that report on non-speaking students - generally students with Autism - who are graduating from college, giving valedictorian speeches, and so forth.  Unfortunately, what's often underpinning many of these cases is a form of Facilitated Communication, or FC for short. What is FC? Glad you asked! In today's episode, Dr. Jason Travers, Associate Professor at Temple University, joins me today to answer this very question (follow him on Twitter here).  We covered the history of Facilitated Communication, the early scientific investigations that discredited this practice, FC's variants like the Rapid Prompting Method and Spelling to Communicate, where the practice of FC stands today, the harms that Facilitated Communication causes both users and caregivers, and how Behavior Analysts should both view and talk about these practices.  Jason also provides the audience with a treasure trove of additional resources: Jason's Research Gate and Google Scholar pages.

If you've ever wondered how to help your students decode longer words, this episode is for you! We're joined by literacy researcher and professor Devin Kearns to talk all about teaching multisyllabic words.Many phonics programs focus on single-syllable words, but what happens when students hit big words and get stuck? Devin unpacks the research behind why that happens and what we can do instead. We talk about:flexible decoding strategies,when and how to teach syllables and morphemes,and what “set for variability” really looks like in the classroom (spoiler: it's not guessing!).You'll walk away with practical, research-backed ideas to help your students read longer words with confidence.Devin M.

In the fall of 1996, 43 year old Sheila Kearns had just finished her first summer season working in Mount Rainier and was excited to begin a winter season in the park she had grown to love. When she failed to show up for work at the National Park Inn, a search was dispatched. It wasn't until seven months later when her scattered remains were found less than a mile from her housing. 30 years later her death remains unsolved.

The tenth season of the Eccles Business Buzz podcast continues with a conversation between host Frances Johnson and Becky Kearns, Director of Community and Business Development at Zions Bank.Becky and Frances talk about mentoring as a way to share knowledge, help students find direction and passion, and expand access to professional networks. Becky highlights student adaptability but notes they often need guidance in clarifying career paths. She also describes why corporate partnerships with higher education and community involvement matter, including employee engagement and “goodwill,” and how banks can design programs to meet unmet community needs. Becky explains the economic and cultural impact of sports events in Utah and discusses the future challenges of sustainability, water, and housing, urging collaboration and responsible growth. Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web. Learn more at https://podcast.feedspot.com/us_business_school_podcasts. Episode Quotes:The influence behind Becky's commitment to give back[06:22] Frances Johnson: Why was it important to you to be a mentor, to give back in that way?[06:39] Becky Kearns: Well, I think my parents both were two individuals who taught the four of us to always leave a community better than you found it. Now, how we define community is up to us. But that could be being very involved in the, you know, not-for-profit world and helping with boards, et cetera. But my parents were very clear that share the knowledge that you have with those that need it. And so that's why it was important to me because I also am not quite sure where I would have gone without the direction I had from both my father and the dean of the College of Business because I was going off in a total different direction than where they were. And they saw my strengths there, but they also saw the big pitfalls that came with that. So I think having the comfort... And sometimes it isn't always what you want to hear. In my case, it wasn't always what I wanted to hear. However, you know, it's just information that someone can use to help guide them along the way.The key skill for success in financial services today[09:38] Frances Johnson: What are some skills that students need to succeed today in the financial services industry, but also more generally, and how have those maybe changed or evolved over time from when you started your career?[09:52] Becky Kearns: I think being adaptable. The students today need to be adaptable with all the information that's coming at them from different directions, you know, where do they want to go? But being able to see there might be different avenues for them to pursue, whether today or throughout their career. Because when I started, especially in financial services, people would pick a specific genre that might be retail banking, commercial banking, investments, and they stayed plugged in, so to speak, to that specific area. In my case, I had the opportunity, and mainly through my husband's transfers across the country, I was pulled out of everything that was familiar to me and being plugged back into something I didn't know. In most cases, I was moving to cities I didn't know anyone. And so being adaptable to those changes and being able to find what would fit best for me really opened up a wealth of opportunity for me.What Becky wishes she had done earlier in her career. [38:18] We had four kids in my family. We were all going to school at the same time. God loves my parents, but they couldn't afford to put us all through. So, you know, we had to help. So I had to have a paycheck. And so, I stayed pretty risk-averse for a while. But when I started to be willing to take risks is when I found my greatest success but most importantly, my greatest joy. If I could give advice to myself and to others, be flexible, be adaptable. You know, be willing to bank on yourself, so to speak, that some of the skills I didn't think I had, I very much had. It just took me a long time to find them. And so, believe in yourself and believe in  what you can provide. And I wish I had done that a little earlier.Show Links:Becky Kearns | LinkedInLiveLikeSam | Advisory Board ProfileDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

We open this episode of The Dawn Stensland Show breaking down the shocking new update from the UN nuclear agency confirming that inspectors will officially visit Iran's nuclear sites under the interim U.S. deal. Dawn slams the Philadelphia Inquirer for a shameful front-page digital investigation targeting the FOP police union over funeral expenses for a fallen officer. Our favorite attorney, the lovely Linda Kearns, joins the studio to call out this blatant media bias before diving deep into a bizarre Delaware court ruling that allows corporate entities to vote in local municipal elections based on property ownership. The crew reacts in real-time to a terrifying message from traffic reporter Nick, who witnessed an active road rage shooting right in front of him on I-76. Nick leaves a chilling voicemail detailing how a hotheaded driver pulled out a firearm, fired a shot at the vehicle next to him on the Schuylkill Expressway, and casually accelerated away. Dawn and Linda discuss the growing epidemic of highway aggression in Philadelphia, why Dawn refuses to honk or flash her lights at anyone anymore, and how new strict Pennsylvania laws against handling your phone at a stoplight are being enforced. Linda provides a masterclass on election integrity, detailing her federal court battles over messy voter rolls and explaining why a woman who pled guilty to voting twice in both Philadelphia and New Jersey was finally caught. We press into the technical realities of the SAVE Act, as Linda explains why the bill might not be the administrative fix people think it is due to non-standardized birth certificates across the country. Plus, we react to Donald Trump's latest Truth Social declaration of a national emergency over the housing bill, his viral mockery of his own soccer skills in shorts, and Mary Walter stops by to tease her upcoming segment exposing the elite Democrats who covered up Joe Biden's cognitive decline.

In our new series on peptides, fitness and wellness expert Kevin Kearns explains what peptides are and how they should be used while separating fact from fiction about the science behind them. After losing his father at a young age, Coach Kearns gravitated toward mentors who assisted him through adversity.  He now has over 35 years of fitness experience and has trained 15 MMA athletes as a Top 5 UFC Conditioning Coach.   With BWK Authentic Edge, Kearns adds his knowledge about peptides to his deep understanding of how to help individuals achieve their performance, athletic, fitness, and competitive goals. At Burn With Kearns, Coach Kearns offers personal training and inspirational transformation throughout Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and greater New England.  He also helps folks worldwide through Zoom or phone consultations.

We break down a monumental shift in Pennsylvania justice after an extraordinary Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling directly rebukes Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. Joined by attorney Linda Kearns, we react to the high court's conclusion that Krasner's office misled judges while aggressively attempting to vacate historic murder convictions. The crew analyzes how this landmark decision places direct oversight into the hands of state Attorney General Dave Sunday, forcing an independent review before any more prosecutorial concessions are made in the city. The crew shifts focus to cultural trends and massive summer events, detailing an upcoming Hollywood signature auction featuring iconic cinematic props like Star Wars lightsabers and original Willy Wonka wardrobe pieces. We dive into a new national index ranking New Jersey as America's most ice cream-obsessed state, prompting a hilarious debate over boardwalk culture and our favorite local flavors. Later, Smithsonian Undersecretary for Science and Research Ellen Stofan stops by the studio to preview the grand nationwide "Shared Future" initiative celebrating America's 250th birthday with interactive tech exhibits and historical treasures across the country. We conclude the day with an essential political and security reality check. The team dissects JD Vance's ongoing media blitz and the surrounding fallout regarding his past campaign trail commentary on the political establishment. Finally, we look closely at emerging tracking reports from federal intelligence agencies regarding the disruption of sophisticated domestic plots, tracing how young online actors move from public platforms to encrypted messaging networks to organize real-world political violence.

In today's episode, we're diving into the evolving world of finance operations and the growing strategic importance of Accounts Payable in the Office of the CFO.I'm joined by Paul Kearns, CEO of Irish software company Kefron, which has more than 30 years' experience helping organisations manage and protect critical business information. Paul leads the development of Kefron AP, an accounts payable automation solution designed to bring greater accuracy, control and visibility to invoice processing – helping finance teams work smarter, not harder.We explore how the role of Accounts Payable is shifting from a back-office function to a strategic enabler of business insight, and what that means for finance leaders today. Paul shares his perspective on the impact of AI - whether it will replace roles or redefine them – and how organisations can scale their AP operations without adding headcount.We also discuss how automation can deliver fast, low-risk gains in productivity, improve data accuracy, and strengthen audit readiness at a time when invoice volumes and compliance demands are only increasing.If you're a CFO, finance leader, or part of a team looking to modernise your AP processes, this is a conversation packed with practical insight.Visit www.thinkbusiness.ie for more news and supports for start-ups and SMEs in Ireland.

As beauty trends have evolved, it's become more and more necessary to use a mirror when getting ready for the day. But for teens at Kearns High School in the Granite School District, they may need to make some changes to their daily grooming routines now that the school has removed mirrors from all the restrooms on campus. The school says removing the mirrors will help cut down on loitering. The hosts share their thoughts on the development and read listener text messages on the topic too.

What do you think of when you see Mount Rainier? Some of us think, "Oh wow, I can see Mount Rainier. Must be really clear out today. Pretty." Some people, though, look at its snow-capped peaks and see a challenge, a life goal -- something they may climb one day, braving cold and oxygen deprivation. To able to say they've done it. And then there is Simon Kearns, who looks at Mount Rainier as something to absolutely dominate. That's what he did in early May, when he set a new speed record for climbing Washington state’s tallest peak on foot. He traveled the nearly 9,000 vertical feet to the summit and back in three hours, 43 minutes and 52 seconds. Kearns joined Soundside to talk about what it was like shattering the previous record by more than half an hour. Guest: Simon Kearns, a mountain guide at RMI Expeditions.

Send us Fan MailMount Rainier is not the place where you get to switch your brain off and “just suffer.” The route moves, the glacier breathes, and a boot pack that looked safe two days ago can point straight at a crevasse. That's why Simon Kearns' new Mount Rainier round trip on-foot FKT, 3:43:50 car to car, stopped us in our tracks. Simon is an RMI Expeditions mountain guide and a rising name in mountain running and skyrunning, with speed records that include Mount Hood and a recent fastest time on Mailbox Peak. We talk through the real story behind the Rainier effort: a last-minute pivot away from a ski record attempt after snapping a race ski, the advantage and responsibility that comes with doing route work on the mountain, and how he stays sharp when the terrain demands both speed and precision. If you've ever wondered what “dialing a route” means on snow and ice, this conversation makes it concrete. We also get into how he trains around guiding logistics, why he works with Jackson Cole as a coach, and how he thinks about the balance between lonely FKT projects and the energy of racing. Along the way we swap notes on the Pacific Northwest volcano scene, European skyrunning culture in Chamonix, and what it looks like to pursue the AMGA and IFMGA guiding path while still chasing big athletic goals. If you like FKTs, alpine running, mountaineering strategy, and honest talk about risk, training, and motivation, hit play.

On today's podcast I chat once again with Paul Kearns, urban planner, author and journalist who has been living in Tel Aviv with his young family for the last 8 years. Paul has been bringing us the truth from within Israel throughout the Gaza war, including the story of censorship by the media there and the presentation of the genocide in a very sanitised way to the people of Israel. In bravely doing so, Paul has in many cases alienated himself from friends and family but his honesty has been much appreciated and his writing has been very welcome by Irish media. He is now increasingly concerned by some political rhetoric and what he is hearing from the Jewish community in Ireland. He believes that the horrors we have witnessed in Gaza has resulted in visceral antisemitism, which could be a real threat to this community and his own family should he ever decide to visit or even return to Ireland to live. When he wrote about this topic, the media outlets who were happy to take his earlier articles did not want to know. We spoke about this version of censorship, antisemitism, holocaust deniers, conspiracy theories and how a country can start to rebuild its reputation, which is in tatters.

In this episode of Driven By Details, I sit down with Tim Kearns to talk about career change, long-term growth, and the transferable skills that matter more than job titles.Tim spent nearly 24 years in the automotive industry, starting as a service advisor in the mid-1990s and eventually working his way up to service manager. Along the way, he built deep relationships, managed constant pressure, and learned firsthand what it takes to serve customers in high-stress environments.Eventually, Tim reached a turning point. After decades in the dealership world, he made the decision to step away and pursue a new path—ultimately finding his way into the insurance industry. Today, he runs successful insurance offices and credits much of that success to the customer service, communication, and problem-solving skills he developed in automotive.We talk about:Starting out in the service drive and climbing the dealership ladderThe realities of long hours and pressure in automotive managementWhat pushed Tim to finally make a career changeHow customer service skills translate across industriesWhy patience, trust, and communication matter in any professionThis conversation is a great listen for anyone thinking about a career pivot, building long-term professional relationships, or navigating change with intention.

Sean Kearns isn't just part of snowboard history, he helped build it. From the Whiskey films that defined an era, to shaping the culture behind the scenes as a filmmaker, producer, and entrepreneur, Sean Kearns has been quietly steering snowboarding's direction for decades.

If you're staring down your first sober holiday season—Thanksgiving pies, Hanukkah candles, office parties, Sober Christmas, Sober New Year—and thinking, “how am I going to do all of this without wine?”, this episode is for you. You do not need alcohol to survive December. You need a plan, a few scripts, and permission to make the holidays work for you. I asked Kim Kerns, author of On The Edge of Shattered, to share how she got through Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year's in her first 30 days alcohol-free—and what actually works when you're brand new and the social calendar is loud. Kim stopped drinking the Saturday after Thanksgiving, cleared the house of every last drop (yes, even the dusty whiskey), told the right people first, and built new traditions her family actually loves.

"It's a feeling, not a fact.""I help people transform their self-worth to live radically fulfilling lives based on audacity rather than perfectionism."These are tidbits of the wisdom shared in this episode by Samantha Kearns. The episode is formatted a little differently to capture the excitement right out to the gate in my time with her. I first was introduced to Sam through her TikTok videos, and what caught my attention was her talking about AUDACITY and DELUSION as gifts and tools-- and I've been a follower ever since. I could have talked to her for days and days, and I am so excited to bring you this episode.
